I work at one of the upper class schools in the Bangkok area, and the funny thing is that even with my 50% discount as a teacher, it will be more expensive to send my kids to it than it would be going to one of the international schools that have double the tuition.  I guess I could take them home to Canada, where the education would be free, but I think the benefits of raising them in Thailand far outweigh the costs - especially at home.

This resulted in me receiving only half of my salary for the month of November, and the annual school English Camp excursion (March) is unlikely to proceed.\nThis policy, I believe, will result in a large fall in the number of native speaking teachers employed in the Kingdom by government schools.

They are:\n\n1) Dishonest performance of duties or intentional commission of a criminal against employer\n\n2) Intentional cause of loss to employer\n\n3) Performance of an act of negligence which results in severe loss to employer\n\n4) Violation of employers work rules or regulations (which are both lawful and equitable) when the employer has already issued a written warning, except in a \"serious\" instance when the employer is not required to issue a prior written warning\n\n5) Neglect of employee\'s duties for three consecutive work days, without reasonable cause, whether or not a holiday intervenes\n\nand\n\n6) Imprisonment (of employee) on anything but negligence or petty offenses\n\n(Section 119, pages 33 and 34)\n\nSo, unless you have done one of the 6 above no-nos, you are still owed severance pay, whether they terminate you or just do not renew your contract.\n\nGood luck, \nSteve',1,'125.25.210.124',1,'2010-01-18 00:21:06','2010-01-18 08:15:04'),(34,1153,'Steve Crawford','stevecrawfordinthailand@gmail.com','Bangkok and environs','Thanks for the feedback, Phil and Tom!

But at least we know, so we can go to court armed with a few weapons. :)\n\nJohnny,\nOf course there is the official legal line that \"everyone is equal in the eyes of the law\" and there is what, may be, a different reality. \nIn my experience, Thai Labor Law favors the employee, not the employer, no matter what nationality either one is. \nWe can represent ourselves, for free, in the system. We don\'t need to hire an attorney. \nI sued a former employer, who was Thai, wealthy and came from a family with a well-known, powerful surname. I represented myself. I knew the law and the judge could see that. I think that the judge didn\'t want to open a can of worms by judging against a \"farang\" when that farang knew the Labor Law front to back AND the evidence clearly showed that I had been mistreated by my employer. How would he explain that away? I won exactly what was owed to me according to the letter of the law. \n\nI\'ve also seen many cases where a farang plaintiff walks into the court with an obvious chip on his shoulder against all things Thai and that comes through in his testimony. Quite often, a farang can be his own worst enemy. I\'ve been teaching or administrating in one capacity or another for more than two decades here and I have yet to lose a case where I had strong evidence or a documentary or testimonial nature. \n\nFor what it\'s worth. :)\n\nSteve',1,'125.25.210.124',1,'2010-01-18 00:30:59','2010-01-18 08:15:04'),(35,1144,'Bob','Middsyuwe@hotmail.com','Bangkok','Some more information regarding the new teachers\' licence.\n\nI\'ve just discovered that if you take the tests (of which there is 4) then you will either:\n\n*receive a 5 year licence for passing\n*receive a 2 year licence for failing.\n\nAccording to reports, statistics reveal a 100% failure of the tests.

Trust me on this, I know people and I will explain later on why I know what I know.\n\nSecond, Pauly knows nothing of the Thai culture. The basic conversation courses are preprogrammed and everyone really does talk like robot. I have learned Spanish in school and then moved to Texas. While living in Texas I learned more Spanish from my Mexican friends than I ever did in school because when I attempt to speak Spanish I really did sound like a damn Robot. Go figure......\n\nThird, sure a foreign teacher will be more productive. Hence Thais hire farangs to teach it. However, Pauly is wrong saying he needed to reprogram the teaching methods because Thai teachers are just a waste of time. But wait, can Pauly translate his English to Thai so that his student can understand it? I think not. Thai teachers are only meant to teach the students basic and only basic English. Farangs are there to ensure they move up from that level. It is not damaging but merely less advanced than what a Farang can do.\n\nLastly I will explain my credibility; I am a Thai person who moved to the States as a young boy. Luckily, my parents forced me to speak and read Thai at home and because of that I am now a certified Thai translater for the DOD. I cannot disclose my job or title but I am fluent in both English and Thai.

Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but you have just fished out a shark. I am PhD. titled and have taught in Western universities, published scientific articles and have given papers in international scientific conferences and so on. Back home, most certified TEFL teachers can be my students and I can educate them to the highest educational level. Back home, you whatever your age is, would be politely knocking on my door to have five minutes of my time. (And this is what I find so amazing about most TEFL-certified farangs. You come here and you think you are professors and that you understand what is going on, back home you deflate and tweet).  \n\nSo my \'little TEFL certified friend\" lets get things back into proportion. Your greatness (if you have any) in Thailand  is due to the Thai weakness with regards to English, not your own real professional qualities, not your strengths. You think you are professors and professional educators. I don\'t want to be demeaning, but I am pulling rank, and oh.... to quote you \"I am loving it\".\n\nNow, in my experience with many TEFL teachers and their attitude, they are the most unprofessional people around. Their attitude (particularly the young ones is one of a professional-wanna-be type. Professional educators just do their thing, they don\'t go around making a fuss about being professional. A professional knows his or her weakness and strengths and can accept the weakness of others and work compatibly with it. (How many TEFL teachers in Thailand accept and understand the weaknesses of their Thai learners? How many disparage their Thai colleagues ?.How many disparage their Farang colleagues?.) Many of these TEFL certified teachers are nothing more than parvenus to the educational profession. They are not educators, and Thais (who are educators and employ them)not only know  this very well, but feel threatened to allow Farangs to educate Thai young (now I am not saying this is a good policy - but it is a point we should keep in mind). Thais are usually not educated in English, all they want (or think they want) is to learn to speak English - and so, in steps the TEFL-certified teacher, something like a driving instructor. But then again, it is possible for me to learn to drive a car by a non-driving instructor and pass the exam too.) Of course a TEFL teacher may develop teaching skills further as time goes by.)  So TEFL certified teachers ARE NOT EDUCATORS and most of you especially the younger ones, get this out of your heads. (\nHow can a TEFL (TESL etc..) certified, 20-plus year old with a Bachelor in something, teaching people a little younger than himself be an educator? Just because they have a TEFL certificate? Come on pull the other one. Then, if we discount experience, we may ask what is the difference between him and his older variant? \n(In truth I have also met TEFL certified people who I would be happy to sit and work with as an equal in the educational sphere.)\n\nWe are dealing in stereotypes at the moment.)\n\nNow like most parvenus mimicking a class of something, these parvenus to education try to be something that they are not while at the same time disparage those who they think do not live up to the values or ideals which they think belong to those they are mimicking. (And this for me characterises the general professionalism of many of the TEFL certified English teachers I have met. of course there are those who succeed in becoming real professionals as I said), \n\nFurther, the rigid pedantry, to my mind is nothing more than the projection of the certified TEFL teacher - seeing their own reflection as they disparagingly gaze at their non-certified colleagues. \n\nNow I have noticed that there is something of a bogey man running around on this pleasurable website, and he is the farang (usually fat) and his Thai wife (I always thought he was a German-speaker by the way).  It looks like he is the teacher no one wants to be so you TEFL -certified professional wanna bees construct him as your imaginary other and morally sting him.(He seems to also appear in your article)\nOne respondent even hurled this as a form of abuse at me. Well, let us take up this issue. (in doing so I am not defending myself as I am not married, and I dont have a Thai girl friend). As we know it is very difficult to work in Thailand. Farangs can\'t just work at anything .In a country where English is a commodity the most common job for Western people is to sorn nangseau (teach), the teacher -kruu/ajarn. There are many Western men who marry Thai women and even adopt their children from a previous marriage(Such men should be applauded as they provide the woman and her children new opportunities for a better life and the children for a better education - not stigmatised and made into a bogey man.  What are these people supposed to do? How are they supposed to live and look after their families when there are very few options available to them? Tell me my \'little certified- TEFL friend\' you asked or implied, or someone asked after reading your article \'why should they take the job of a qualified teacher\'? Well I reverse the question - why should some upstart \'I wanna go and see the world TEFL teacher \' riding on her prejudice moral high-horse get the job that a farang living in this country supporting a family, and for whom jobs are difficult to come by, be prevented from getting? (I know that this is an odd argument and I would never make it back home - in its Western variant it is dangerous). The reason why (I would like to believe) these married men get these jobs, is because Thai ajarns are compassionate enough to give these men the opportunity to work and look after their Thai families.  I know that the bogey man also refers to the other side of Thai/Farang relations.  Whether a teacher wants to learn Ram Thai (Thai dancing) or whether they want to get sloshed in bars is their private affair and what people do in their private time is up to them and is irrelevant for the discussion-  but, a TEFL certificate does not guarantee that the recipient will stay away from the bars - does it? So this is irrelevant. Or do you think otherwise, \"my little TEFL friend\"?\n\nWith regards to Anthony\'s comment - Yes Thai teachers are grammarians. Their weakness though is they just do not have the opportunity to speak English and develop this part of their language skills. And yes, they don\'t really want educators. This is the point. They want farangs for their accents and for the publicity - in short the relationship between Thais and Farangs is riddled with contradictions which does make things awkward sometimes. Now the oddest thing about it all is that I have been in international situations, conferences and institutes with Thai ajans, who have never studied English and yet speak it perfectly. By contrast students who have been studying English all their lives, sometimes can\'t even speak a sentence. This is the most oddest of things.

One major factor contributes to the unqualified foreign teacher is the preference of Thais to have western Caucasian - looked teachers in schools. Another is to be able to hire a foreigner as a teacher; one has to have a teacher certification, a short course becomes the solution.

(Does this situation sound familiar to anybody?)\n\nI am here also thinking about the respondent below who complained about her colleague and concluded with \"good bye to bad rubbish\". There is no evidence that her colleague was a good or bad teacher only that they, the two, did  not get on with each other. With her attitude one gets the impression that she was a TEFL bully. Now you probably also understand why many non-certified teachers seem obstinate as they are forced to hold their ground against  the wanna-be professional bullish attitude of the TEFL instructor. \n\nMost points in the article can refer to any teacher regardless of  having a TEFL certificate or not. \nNow a TEFL-certified teacher will identify with this article because of the word TEFL - \'ooh, I have TEFL I am in the clear\' - but everything you have said can refer to any type of teacher including  ‘driving instructors’ like yourself. In fact the sentence about getting hung up about punctuation and nouns etc... metaphorically speaking is you - that is what your paper is doing - metaphorically  speaking you are getting hung up about little things mostly referring to people\'s private lives which you have constructed into a stereotype of your non TEFL-certified colleagues. (It is odd that one of the respondents who has worked for twenty years in a primary school agrees with this article. I have a lot of respect for primary teachers who teach and educate at, what for me is, the other end of the educational age spectrum. How can he compare a TEFL- certified instructor to his own educational credentials?)\n\nRemember, TEFL is not a degree, it is a certificate. (You can get a degree in TEFL. There are Thai Ajans who have degrees in TEFL,even PhD. but that is something else.) Most TEFL-certified Farangs have a certificate from a course they paid for and passed.\n\nNow all the  points made could just as well apply to the TEFL instructor. And some of these points could apply  to any teacher for that matter. There is nothing in the above text that states that it is the characteristic of the TEFL teacher or the non-TEFL certified teacher. So let us be clear about this. \n\nTo Jamie - Now, where did you get the impression that I don\'t do any preparations? Is that what you got out of my writing? \n\nLesson Planning  - Whatever it is the teacher teaches has to have content, and techniques of conveyance and this is the class that one gives. Don\'t tell me that only TEFL certified people know what lesson planning is? \n \nThey are many ways of teaching but you simply categorise people according to whether they have a TEFL certificate or not. If they do the same thing with a TEFL degree you wouldn\'t bat an eyelid. You feel you have a shared ethos with them. But if they don\'t have a TEFL certificate but do the same thing  you complain about it. This is what we call discrimination. \n\nEvery teacher has their own style of teaching and generates a certain atmosphere in the classroom which suits them. No other teacher has the right to interfere with that unless there are  some severe problems, and usually it is the head who should give advice and colleagues should remain neutral.\n\nFurther  Thai institutes do not usually want farangs  to be educators because education is also about teaching values and about values etc..  and this is seen as culturally threatening. \n\nThe point about taking material from the internet - \nEvery TEFL certified instructor I have met uses the internet. In fact, the net has information on it for such usage, so don\'t tell me that you don\'t.  \n\nMost probably most TEFL instructors get their TEFL certificates because they wanted to work and travel not because they wanted to make a life long career out of it and this is the point that SW makes. Whether they make or made a career out of it over the years is another matter. Don\'t tell me you are here because of TEFL? Don’t tell me that when you were 17 years old and someone asked you ‘what do you want to be’? You looked up and answered ‘a TEFL teacher’. Come on be honest. You have TEFL because you want to be here.) (or any exotic country that would employ you.). The point is TEFL certified people are not educators, are not really teachers and are not professional educators.  \n\nMuch of this article is picking on what people do in their private lives. Getting  diplomas, reading books about S.E.Asia, having a Thai family - and you are simply saying that they are lousy teachers because of it. And further you are simply saying that if they don\'t teach like \'me\' then they should not teach at all. If you read your article carefully you will see that you are simply complaining about all your colleagues for no actual reason other than they work differently from you. \n \nAbout teaching grammar - This I think you have picked up from observing Thais – Thai teachers  teach their students about English as  this is something very difficult to teach particularly to non-Native speakers when you can\'t speak their language. I do not believe that a native speaker (Farang teacher) teaches Thais \'about English\". It is simply beyond most Farangs unless they speak perfect Thai and have a degree in English grammar. In the  end I believe you are falsely interpreting what you are seeing within the Thai  cultural-educational context.\n\nIn your article you have simply created a stereotype, \'a straw man\', in order to burn him. And all the TEFL-certified wanna-be professional educators are dancing around in glee. \nAnd here I repeat again, TEFL Certified instructors are not educators so get it out of your heads.\n\nFinally one or two respondents have made a more important point that should be discussed and acted upon and that is about the racism that is sometimes  employed by Thai institutes. This is something that should not only be written about but  all the job websites should unanimously prohibit any form of suggestive discrimination in the employer’s job advertisements. This is a very simple thing to demand. No more requests for photos, and making other allusions to differences of culture or phenotype. And the rule should be  No compliance,  no advert.  Here, the power to change a practice that is internationally and ethically wrong and absolutely backward, belongs to the international employees. (Incidentally,  I work in an institute that had employed a teacher from Africa and India. Usually no one calls us farang at least to our face but refer to us as \'person from another nation (kon tang chaat)\'. So it is possible in the name of  human decency for Thai job websites to push this principle forward. \n\nIncidently, I should stress what i think with regards to the private schools. They want to employ blonde haired people (farangs) because the school can use them like advirtisments to attract parents to pay for a course.\n\nTo my mind one problem with Thais and the English language is that English is treated as a \'lets have some fun consumer hype\'.  So the schools employ blondes as advertisements to attract parents to send their children to it, and as \'edutainers\' (to use a word floating about on this website)keep the children happy so the parents will continue sending their children to that private school and pay the fees. In the end it is an insult to the \'blonde\' farang clowns, to the non-blondes, and to Thais themselves.',1,'125.25.204.133',1,'2010-02-13 00:15:58','2010-02-13 07:21:37'),(109,1242,'Brian','bushi132001@yahoo.com','Nonthaburi','Well thank you for agreeing with me...

I am trying to make you see that I can take the same stance against you and  have the full right to pull rank over all of you. Even the qualified primary teacher can be my students back home.  None of you know what a doctorate is or entails.  This is a fact.  So all accept this! All you TEFL people do not belong in Universities unless you are students.. How does that feel? Well this is a similar attitude to the one the author is taking. I was not flip flopping I was playing the Devil\'s advocate and arguing for a side that I do not fully endorse to reflect to you your own view point. I can say that TEFL certified people should not be teaching at universities. And I have the full professional right to say that. But I repeat I am playing the devil\'s advocate.\nxxxxxxxx\n\nThat is the point, it doesn\'t matter whether you are a TEFL-certified person  or not- it is about whether you are a good teacher or not. That is exactly what I am saying.    \n\nNow, to be honest with you - Everything this article says is irrelevant. I think we have established that it can apply to any teacher good or bad or someone simply having a bad term.\n\nFurther, your TEFL degree is nothing special. Anybody can get a TEFL certificate and you don\'t even have to be a native speaker. But with this attitude you will be discriminating against TEFL-certified teachers who obtained their certificate in non-native English speaking countries. The only reason institutions want you to have a TEFL degree is that it is the only guarantee that you have some idea of teaching. This doesn\'t mean that you can teach though.\n\nBut what strikes me is this - none of you have said what the benefits of having a TEFL degree are. If this article was a good article it would stress the benefits of  a TEFL certificate. I do know what some of the benefits to having a TEFL degree are. But remember the benefits have  nothing to do with whether you are a good teacher or not. Since none of you have said what are the benefits of having a TEFL degree, it makes me wonder whether you really understand the nature of the certificate you obtained. (and this applies to the author of the article.)\n\nAnyway I am responding to this because I want to \'educate\' TEFL certified people in good professional manners. Many TEFL certified people are probably not really qualified to be teachers as this entails more than having a certificate and knowing \na few teaching techniques and thinking that one is a professional. \n\nMost of you all know that everything I have written in these postings has some truth in it. All I want you to do is think rationally about these aspects - your own attitudes.\n\nWell I wish you all happy teaching, and remember, if you disparage your non-certified TEFL colleagues (who may very well be better teachers than you) there is someone else with greater  educational authority who can disparage you. So be nice and enjoy Thailand and stop trying to take the moral high-ground on the Farang  male -Thai wife issue. It is really petty., This is Thailand, and if you don’t like it than go to Japan.

Some of us come to work on Monday with a lesson plan.  Others--the ones the author is talking about--come to work with a hangover.

The author stated the following: \"This is what I have observed on numerous occasions in numerous locations in Thailand.\"  Sounds to me if job stability is an issue for this cowboy, and may say a great deal about their own ability to teach.  However, I was one of those teachers without a degree, but I did take TESOL classes and I came to Thailand to, \"teach.\"  I put in long personal hours in order to design the most effective lesson plans that I could.  And unlike the descriptions of your articles, what I lacked in formal education I made up with self determination to be the best teacher I could.

Education is a wonderful thing, and that is one of the reasons I chose to become a teacher.  I\'ve seen a lot of teachers from your scholastic fraternity who see shortcuts as a basis for teaching.  They come to work late, they leave early and do the minimum amount of planning and execution to get by, which is something I call smoke and mirrors, but I don\'t have to write an article to complain about it, simply because I know I\'m a good teacher and what another teacher does in their classroom has no impact on my ability to be the best teacher I can be, and I don\'t need you or anyone else to tell me otherwise.',0,'58.9.5.186',1,'2010-02-16 23:47:34','2010-02-17 10:15:40'),(119,1242,'Mark Richard','mrrichard@yahoo.com','Thailand','First of all let me mention, nice photography…cowboy.  You look marvelous.  I can not wait to see the full size body posters and underwear advertisements. \n\nHere is something for thought. Thais are great in keeping the farlangs guessing.  They have had centuries of practice. So perhaps, it is not the issue of rather you have credentials, certificates or even if you are a good or great teacher.  Maybe, at this point in Thai history there is a strong agreement or movement among Thai teachers that feel confident enough that they can provide the necessary structure, materials, and nuisances as to give students an adequate education in the English Language.\n\nFood For Thought,\n\nRichard',0,'115.67.114.118',1,'2010-02-17 00:45:17','2010-02-17 10:15:40'),(120,1242,'alligotsisTEFL','billytheteach@yahoo.ca','Bangkok','This is in response to Mr. Nathan Porath\'s angry ranting which he can\'t seem to get enough of.\n\nI\'m sorry to tell you, but just because you have a PhD and have taught in universities isn\'t worth crap when talking about your ability to teach, as you should already know.  So you can\'t stop mentioning that and stop trying to put down people because they are TEFL certified.  The fact that someone is TEFL certified just goes to show that they want to prepare themselves for teaching English.  God knows no one needs a TEFL certificate to get a teaching job in Thailand.  All you need is to be young, white and attractive.  Sad, but true.  But hey, if this is the way Thai schools are going to choose their teachers then let them suffer.  It\'s up to the Ministry of Education to do something about this problem, and until they do unqualified teachers will be free to run wild in this wonderful country and teach whoever they want.  So if you have a problem with the way things are going in this countries\' education system then stop blaming the teachers and start blaming the people who allow these teachers to teach.  \n\nBy the way, if you have a PhD what the hell are you doing teaching English in Thailand?  Go get a real job!  By the sound of it you\'re not in the popular bracket for a teacher in this country anyways.  You best find something better to do with your PhD.\n\nTo be honest, I may be one of the last people who should be teaching, but I\'m loving it and I put a hell of a lot more effort into it than some of the \'qualified\' teachers who I share an office with.  By the sound of it you are someone who thinks he is god\'s gift to education and who would be a terrible bore to learn with.  On the other hand, a young teacher like me, who has no qualification to teach other than a TEFL certificate, am much more likely to have a positive effect on a students ability to learn because they enjoy my class and I can relate to them and because I understand why they want to learn English and what they want to learn.  Most of the time my students are no more than 5 years younger than me and I have many students who are much older than me, but trust me, they couldn\'t care less as long as I put effort into making my class meaningful and helpful to them.\n\nI\'d just like to add that in no way do I support Thai schools\' discrimination against teachers of different ages or race.  In fact, it disgusts me and I find it very surprising to find in a country where 90% of the people are supposed to be Buddhist (that\'s a whole other topic in itself).\n\nOne last comment to all those TEFL certified teachers out there in Thailand.  If you\'re fortunate enough to have a teaching job in this country then don\'t take advantage of it!  As you can see there are lots of fat old farangs with Thai families to support who would love to have your job.

You are criticising me, you should be criticising the article. I have no problem in you teaching with or without a TEFL certificate. I am not putting TEFL-certified people down, I am REFLECTING - mirroring -the authors attitude and showing you what he and others ganging up together sound like. My problem with this article is that it is nothing more than a stereotype catering to popular in-group sentiment, and this is very dangerous. \n\nDale Bennetts attitude in his posting does show a professional attitude and he doesn\'t have a TEFL certificate as I understand from his writing. \n\nIt is amazing how TEFL-Certified people make assumptions about other people\'s teachings. That is why you are not professionals. \n\nIn my last posting I said something and no one has picked up on it. What are the benefits of having a TEFL in teaching terms. I know what the benefits are and there may be others that you might enlighten me with. If this article would have been written around facts stating the benefits of having TEFL, CELTA for educational and teaching purposes whithout picking on other types of teachers and painting them with all that is imagined to be bad about a Teacher in Thailand, then this would be the mark of a professional.(But remember there are different types of teachers out there. not only TEFL). (By the way there are also courses that most of you are not really qualified to teach such as academic English. This I can say for sure so does this mean that no TEFL teacher should teach it?)\n\nNow as to why I am here, I am here for research purposes and this is a good way of staying here untill I am ready to go back. By the way I get top marks from my students in the monitoring form (and so has another non-TEFL certified teacher.) Higher than the TEFL cetrtified teachers. (But as I have already said in an earlier posting I do not teach little children I have many parents wanting me to teach their children but I reject them, and suggest another teacher.)\nNow one final thing. Why are you so negative about the THais educational system. Do any (most of you) really know anything about education back home? Come on, no you don\'t. So why  do you suddenly become professors in this subject over here. MOst of you can\'t even speak Thai (I mean more than sawat dii kup). Come on, lets be honest. \n\nAgain you are picking on the fat farang-Thai wife thing and so on. what is your obsession with this guy? Don\'t you like fat people? To the 25 year old plus teacher, just wait till you reach your fifties or sixties. YOu might be one of them. Now you are all picking on the fat farang and his tHai wife, but what about the 25 year-old-plus TEFL-certified teacher teaching in tHai universities having sex with his or her student who is a few years younger than him/her. Ah,now that is something you haven\'t thought of either. \n\nAnd what about the gay teachers? You have forgotten them too. I am sure they are having the time of their lives here (and good for them). \n\nThere is one more thing I would like to throw into this - what about TEFL-certified missionaries using their TEFL qualification to get a job here so they can convert  the \'pagans\' to christianity?? So they are fine in your mind because they are TEFL certified. (again they may be very good teachers and I can imagine that they are, as long as they do not confuse their teaching position and their faith). \n\nSo I am ranting on a bit more. I can see that some of the TEFL certified people are beginning to go on the defensive. Because somehow you all know that what I am saying is true and you didn\'t expect it and you hate it. I am supporting the non-TEFL-certified teachers who lives here and needs a job.If TEFL certified teachers don\'t like it here then go to Japan.

I\'ve heard a few good arguments from both side, but here is what I believe. For the record, I am a degree and CELTA holder, which makes me qualified in the eyes of some but certainly not all, since I don\'t yet have an Education degree.\n\n#1) Having a degree and CELTA does NOT automatically make you a good teacher. Anybody can scrape by and graduate at a mediocre university, and hardly anyone fails the CELTA. In fact, I think excellent teachers are made through years of actual teaching experience, experimenting with different teaching methods, listening to student feedback, and learning from other educators. \n\n#2) Truly dedicated and hardworking people can become great teachers without any formal education. It won\'t happen overnight, and such teachers start out at a significant disadvantage, but it can be done.\n\n#3) There are lots of mediocre teachers in Thailand, both with and without degrees, that use teaching simply as a means to living in the Kingdom but have no real desire to be good educators.\n\n#4) Ideally, every teacher ought to be observed regularly and randomly, and sub-standard teacher ought to be fired. However, this will never happen for a number of reasons. Firstly, many Thai bosses don\'t know very much English themselves. Secondly, most Thai educators use a very old fashioned rote style of teaching, and have no ability to properly evaluate how a Native speaker ought to teach. Ultimately, this means that the school administration often have no clue who is a good teacher and who isn\'t, and often rely on very unreliable criteria (such as personal appearance and \'neatness\') to determine who ought to be hired or retained.\n\n#5) The Thai government, recognising that many terrible and downright criminal foreigners have been masquerading as English teachers, sought to develop some uniform standard to judge someone as suitable to be an English teacher. They have decided that having a university degree ought to be the minimum requirement to be a teacher in Thailand.\n\nDo I agree with the Thai government\'s decision? Yes, I do. Even though many excellent non-degree holding teachers may lose their jobs, its the only practical way to establish at least some basic standard for teachers. Until Thai education administrators figure out how to seperate the good teachers from the bad, which I don\'t think will happen anytime soon, then its the role of the government to step in and provide some kind of criteria for assessing teachers based on their qualifications. (No, I don\'t think the standard should be a TEFL certificate, as there are a mind-boggling variety of such certificates many of which are not worth the paper they are printed on).',0,'122.154.229.70',1,'2010-02-18 20:40:36','2010-02-19 10:35:56'),(124,827,'BARIS','b_orses@yahoo.com','Thailand','Hi my friend...\nFirst of all I must tell you, welcome to the club.

Echanes','ramanatha.rlechanes@gmail.com','Bangkok, Thailand','Nice ranting against untrained teachers, those who teach for the heck of it, and even those who take up learning by distance.\nHowever, let me update you on a few facts regarding excellence in teaching.\nFor your information, I am a non-native English speaker, but like it or not I am an English teacher, in fact, a bilingual teacher, that is, I teach Spanish and English as a Foreign Language, and hopefully, I will be able to teach English Literature and English for academic purposes in a few years after I have completed my English degree from the UK. \n\nAny way, from my long teaching experience, whether you\'ve got a teaching degree or not, sometimes it\'s a moot question. The real question is whether you have what it takes to be a good teacher. I\'ve met many \"professional\" teachers, with teaching degrees who actually hate teaching English and what\'s most detrimental, hate their teaching professions.  They just work in this field because they don\'t know what else to do or they just don\'t have a clue of what else to do with their lives.\n\nSo there we have several teachers with MA degrees and PhD qualifications who actually bore you to death in the classroom. On the other hand, you may find a native or non-native English speaker who actually has excellent rapport with his/her students and is effective in the classroom and in his overall teaching ability. And many of these people do not even have a degree or TEFL qualifications. To tell you the truth, and this might be shocking to you, I was one of them a couple of decades ago. I did not even have a high school certificate. However, I loved teaching, I started reading more about the subject and I practiced in the classroom. Through trial and error I got some things right, however, I knew that my training was far from complete, so I took the CELTA and that helped me to upgrade my teaching skills. \n\nApart from language teaching, I am also a martial arts teacher, but I am steering my teaching career towards academic work. Currently I am in my second year at the University of London-Goldsmiths College studying a BA in English Literature by distance. I can tell you that doing this degree is far more challenging than doing it in-campus because you have to manage all your learning by yourself. The only help I get is from an advisor at Harrow School and from the VLE from the university. And, hell no, it is not a useless degree to teach here in Thailand. An English degree develops your knowledge base and teaching skills to a high level since you are able to teach all aspects of English, from curriculum planning to high academic reading and writing skills. It gives you an in-depth knowledge of English and its roots. And, nowadays there are many things you can do with a degree in English in Thailand or around the world, if you are wise enough: one can teach at international schools and private universities. \n\nLastly, but not least, I am not a fat farang either. In fact, I am quite fit and trim, and can kick your a.... in a few seconds, if you know what I mean.

For instance those teaching English Conversation should not require a degree. There are however many attributes they do require like a clear voice and a passsion for the job as well as teaching experience, TEFL TESOL and such like.  \n\nIn an English Program school I think the degree is relevant as it requires more skill and knowledge.

Those with Bachelor degree don’t think having a Masters is necessary, those with a Masters often do. Those with TEFL certificates think they are necessary, those without think they are unnecessary. Those with degrees in education more times than not think they are necessary, those with degrees in other fields think a degree in education is unnecessary.\n\nNothing  unique about English teachers.

A good teacher is one who can find and keep a job. Simple supply and demand. If schools have better options than retaining those currently employed, they will make the changes. If there are no better options available, they will retain the teaching staff they have. \n\nAnd of course, the term “teacher” is extremely broad and covers many different positions with different expectations and requiring different skill sets. A teacher who is great teaching young children through games may or may not be a good teacher in a position requiring assisting students in academic writing.

In fact in many places it is a saturated market with increasingly declining profits, stagnant salaries and little investment.  It is on it\'s plateau heading for the precipice of decline, although that is probably a long way off and may never happen.  \n\nOnly certain areas are growing, geograhically China and apparantly IELTS and TOEFL prep and the likes are growing areas.\n\nAs for EFL in Thailand, Scott\'s point about educational quality being quite hard to measure and perceived quality of teachers is spot on.

Although I am not sure he meant to make it. The people who have spent the time, money and effort to gain better qualifications are the only people who appreciate the true worth of such things. Other people, who are threatened by it, turn handsprings to devalue it. What an injustice this is in places where the decision makers lack degrees, or higher degrees, they actively subvert social progress, or engage in anti-intellectual behaviour - say that more knowledge and higher powers of thinking are not a better thing, and surround themselves with other people of their ilk (other conservative bumblers) - so that they are not shown up, and so they can protect their own selfish interests. Could be one reason why the salaries are so low in Thailand...\n\nSure enough, there are examples of people with higher degrees who are not much chop. The point is, however, that on average more education, if we are talking about an enlightened, or scientifically informed education system, produces people who are more knowledgeable, or for whom experience counts more. And, in every honest job - where you do something for humanity, rather than just live off other people\'s backs - who are going to be better at it. What, are you going to say that if I get the motor mechanic who has been fixing cars themselves for three years, and compare them to the dude that has an automotive engineering degree who has also been working for three years, that on average it is not the latter type who are going to do a better job? Come on...\n\nAs Western society has produced more educated people, the level of education you need to do things has increased accordingly. Western education systems are a very good example. As more qualified people rise to the top - something we needed democracy and education systems to enable, it used to be who you knew or were related to, or how brutal you were - they appreciate more educated apprentices. If you have an education system with integrity, or one that only allows people who genuinely improve their knowledge and powers of scientific thinking to move up the grades, that is real progress.\n\nStop the rot.',0,'62.61.164.85',1,'2010-02-27 13:00:37','2010-02-28 01:29:25'),(156,1242,'Bleeder','anyone@anywhere.com','Bangkok','My God!

The latter is huge in Thailand with an estimate shortfall of teachers required of at least 100,000+, so schools are generally happy when they manage to get hold of a farang blue-eyed wonder for no other reason than they are thin on the ground these days.\n\nAnd again, this is one of the main reasons (other than plain ignorance) why so many parents and administrators choose the doe-eyed wonder over a more experienced, more qualified non-native speaker e.g. Phillipinos, Indians, other Europeans, and is the central reason why the overall standard of EFL teaching in Thailand is quite poor.\n\nThat being said - you get what you pay for which explains why many of the salaries on offer are quite low as well.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-02-27 20:26:28','2010-02-28 03:52:49'),(158,1242,'Roberto L. Echanes','ramanatha.rlechanes@gmail.com','Bangkok, Thailand','I think Matt and Scott\'s points are very valid in this ongoing debate of the qualifications of a teacher. I personally, however, don\'t think that the need for qualifications span from the consideration that those who have them think that others should also have them.  From my point of view it makes sense to think  that if you are going to pursue a professional career, you should have the requisite knowledge to work efficiently. Definitely experience is also important, but, for instance, if you are going to take charge of a major construction project, it would be most essential for you to have studied engineering, otherwise, that would become extremely dangerous. Likewise if you are going to work in the medical profession.\n\nHowever, let\'s get to the main point: teaching excellence and what makes a great teacher. As I said before, I don\'t have a teaching degree yet, but I am on the process to complete one in a few years. Through the course of my studies I came to realize that the knowledge I am acquiring is also invaluable and that it will make a better teacher of me. So, knowledge is essential as is teaching experience. When I took the CELTA, my trainers did not teach me how to deal with rowdy and disruptive students in a Thai high school set up; I had to deal with this on my own and had to use my own previous experience and common sense (my self-defence knowledge included). What we learned at the Cambridge CELTA was a lot of teaching approaches and class room management, etc., etc. The course was also insufficient in training us how to teach writing skills, but I had a pretty good idea how to tackle this and my further experience gave me deeper insights into approaches to writing. But, one thing that really makes a better teacher as far as I can attest so far is, not just your capacity to keep your job, but also your ability to awaken the thirst for knowledge in your students. You see, good rapport with your students is very important, therefore, the good relationship you develop with them and to cause them to trust you and love you is of utmost importance. And, not to say the least, the factor of love for your students is what opens their minds to you and it is the first step to create a healthy environment for learning. You can\'t teach and rectify someone if you don\'t love that person. Well there are many other factors that make a good teacher, but this is one of the main points I wanted to make.',1,'124.120.71.39',1,'2010-02-27 21:08:09','2010-02-28 06:47:44'),(159,582,'Jason Alavi','teacherfinder@hotmail.com','Rangsit, Pathumthani','Hi Paul,\nSorry about the slow answer.

I am now the director of education, responsible for human resources, at an SAT prep school in Bangkok.  I received a 120-hr, face-to-face TEFL certificate from a teacher training school in Bangkok.  I believe TEFL programs are a joke and so are all the snobbish young people (I myself am young) who have been so completely brainwashed by their respective TEFL trainers that they actually believe they are good at what they do.  The TEFL program I undertook was shamelessly self-aggrandizing such that test questions looked like this: \"How did Module 3 help you become a better teacher?\".  I rarely use any of the skills taught in the TEFL course and at any of the Thai schools I\'ve seen or taught at, the school\'s own policies or agendas prevented any real curriculum development, assessment, or lesson planning.  Worst of all, I\'ve heard TEFL trainees repeating the virtues of the TEFL as reinforced in the training classroom almost verbatim.  It becomes this little boys (and sometimes girls) club of unbelievably pretentious, CELTA-qualified foreigners who have taught in Thailand for years because they are unemployable in their home countries or, as this article argues, have a Thai partner, and somehow think they are the Mother Teresa of teaching.  The vast majority of teachers in Thailand (with the possible exception of the most prestigious international school teachers) are completely underqualified and a TEFL wouldn\'t hold up for a moment in the West as a legitimate enough teaching qualification to get you into a public school.  Exactly how does the TEFL guarantee a better teacher?!  In researching TEFL/CELTA programs prior to taking my course, I found that the majority pass almost all students one way or another.  No one failed on my course.  TEFL/CELTA failures are given repeated opportunities to take the same course in order to pass.  If I take the same test 3 times, I guarantee you I\'ll pass even if I\'m a brain stem.  I\'ve been shocked at the number of TOTALLY (no TEFL) unqualified teachers in Bangkok, but I\'ve been even more shocked at the number of horrible TEFL- and even Master\'s-qualified teachers who are an embarrassment to the teaching profession.

We are here to earn a living and many of us take this job very seriously. As Brian said, a CELTA course is a stepping stone to build you teaching skills into something more professional. Once you get experience and do some more research (through trial and error) you can develop your own teaching style that will work with students. Of course a TEFL is not a replacement for professional qualifications, but it helps to do the job and to steer you in the right direction. As I wrote before, now that you mentioned it, \"to the possible exception of the most prestigious international school teachers\", even those \"qualified\" sometimes fall under the category of bores and ineffective teachers in the classroom. They may have a BA and MA but still they are teachers just in paper. Let me give you one example: I have a private student who is studying at a very prestigious international school,and currently I am preparing her for her Spanish IB exams. She\'s commenting how she and her other classmates find the teacher\'s class so boring that they pay hardly any  attention to the lesson, resulting in her lack of proper Spanish language skills.  She was doing fine at the beginning but then the lessons became too boring and demanding that caused her to lose interest and affected her learning process. Very often educators think that students are just knowledge storing machines wherein they can force data into their heads without any regard or consideration for their mental and spiritual well-being. And these students get really stressed out due to this. You see, the problem of teacher/student interaction and education is deeper than we can imagine, and the only solution to this is a revamp in the educational system. We can\'t just think that if a student does not make the grades, he/she is a useless entity and cannot aspire to a good education in a good institution. Unfortunately, the practice is still prevalent, and only students who perform well in maths, science and English are being considered worthy of a good higher education. The system does not take into account that we have different forms of intelligence and that education is not only in the intellectual level, but also should be developed in the physical, mental and spiritual strata of human beings.',1,'124.120.88.170',1,'2010-03-14 20:24:12','2010-03-15 04:05:49'),(181,1242,'Thai ESL teacher','robmc1972@live.com','Northern Thailand','I agree with a lot of what was said in the article despite my lack of experience. I see many \"TEFL\" schools offering certification for a bargain price. It seems to me to be more of a business than anything else, like actually trying to get motivated and well-intentioned people into Thai schools. I have the added hurdle of being a Thai and \"looking\" Thai. I speak fluent English with no discernable accent whatsoever but still seem to have trouble getting my foot in the door because of how I look. I guess discrimination is the order of the day here? I came to Thailand to (hopefully) live out my days and help my fellow Thais learn English so they might get a leg-up on the competition when going out into the job market. I\'m just waiting for a school to give me the opportunity to follow through. Many good comments and opinions are offered here. I saw firsthand in my own TEFL course the vast disparity of ability and talent that exists in TEFL seekers. Some of my classmates had advanced degrees but very little knack for teaching. It was very obvious to see when observing them that they should be doing anything BUT teaching. But they LOOK western or European and so will probably get more consideration for jobs based upon that sole fact rather than their actual ability to teach. It must be said that I also observed many who would and will be excellent ESL teachers. Why isn\'t there some form of government regulation on who can issue TEFL/CELTA/TESOL certifications and the quality of the people they give them to? Maybe some kind of nationwide standardized testing for certification? On the subject of testing by the way, Aaron has it right. If you take a TEFL course, it\'s pretty much guaranteed that you will pass. When it comes time to test, if you fail you get to take the SAME test again? Where is the comprehension? If I took the same test again I\'d pass too, but I\'d be exhibiting no understanding of what was taught. What\'s better? A motivated and intelligent ESL teacher who can plan lessons from scratch and obviously has the talent for teaching but does not have a degree or an unmotivated master\'s degree holder that just follows a textbook without really caring that the students are actually learning anything and downloads lesson plans from the internet?

Many schools\' front doors are now closed to walk-in applicants because of these agency leeches.  Good luck if you want to experience Thai culture as ajarn falang.

First of all, the degrees in Thailand are rarely verified, if they are verified at all. I am talking about MoE here, as some schools do verify the degrees. But MoE does not do it, I have never heard about anyone who had their degree verified (by MoE). There is no such thing as \"The Bat Cave\". I know people with life experience degrees who got their licenses. They teach in the provinces but to apply for the license the docs had to be send to Bangkok. After a few weeks the licenses came!\n\nSimply, it is the schools\' responsibility to verify a degree, not the MoE. Teachers get caught when they are reported by a colleague or their former boss etc.\n\nFrom what you say one could assume there are no teachers with fake degrees in Thailand any more - after all they all got caught by the MoE. But I can assure there are plenty.

Because their significant other is a Thai. And that\'s >>the only reason. Oh, and it\'s good fun and relatively cheap to live here, >>too.\n\nDo you really think that everyone who is involved in EFL does it for the love of teaching or that that should even be the case?  It is a job, a means to travel to most people, and as long as TEFL industry -  and I use the word very loosely because industry implies professionality - continues to treat teachers as commodities, do you really think there is any incentive for teachers to think or behave differently?  It is the same the world over, even in the highest paying countries, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Germany for example, teachers are there for money or they like the country and want to be there.  People who are serious teachers do a proper postgraduate qualification in their respective countries and then are able to find professional teaching jobs at home or in international schools abroad.  Most outfits in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand couldnt afford these properly qualified people.  \n\nDo you really think someone with a degree in Education would want to work for what is essentially 600 - 700 pounds a month in Thailand with no benefits and a ridiculous visa and teacher licence system, when they would be much better off elsewhere.\n\nThink about it, unfortunately, Thailand cant attract many top quality teachers. As they say, you get what you pay for.  Salaries in Thailand will never attract the best qualified teachers other than international schools.\n\n>>And they shy away from anything that looks remotely like extra work or >>career development.\n\nWell well, how untrue this is.  I was DOS at a school in Bangkok and I found many teachers were eager to attend when we ran training courses.  How often does the average Thai employer / school actually offer training or support for career development?  Seldom I am sure.  The truth is the penny pinching schools refuse to pay money to help develop the teachers professionally and care more about saving money and short term gains. \n\nThai ESL teacher Northern Thailand is right when he / she refers to TEFL certification just being a business.  In fact the whole of TEFL worldwide is mainly run by short-sighted pseudo professional losers who paint an air of professionalism with their shirt and tie ha ha ha, and kao tao to the clients in desperation to win a share of this ever-diminishing low income amateur affair that is EFL.  Stop being so romantic about teaching English, it is job, always has been and always will be.

I catch them all the time now. I paid something like 2800 Baht a month which included a bed, hot water, and a bed. They threw in a TV but I had to pay 300 Baht a month for this. They also had Internet which I think I paid 100 Baht a month for. In total, the monthly cost for the Apartment came to around 4000 Baht. If you are prepared to look around there are loads of apartments in bangkok. Remember most Thais pay around 2000 Baht for their Apartments but it does not come with much. Normally just a room and you have to buy everything yourself and will have no aircon. You often need it to sleep. I do. The more facilities you have then the more you will pay, but if you are prepared to live a little off the centre you will pay much less. Also if you look around. I would not even consider paying more than 5000 Baht for an Apartment or condo. I now live in a condo for 4200 Baht a month, and then pay 7 Baht a unit for Electricity and 20 Baht a unit for water. The minimum charge for water is 100 Baht a month and I usually use less than that because I am trying to save it because of water shortages in Thailand. But it has everything. A Fridge, a TV, cupboard, aircon, security card, gym if I want it (small one) and would have to pay extra for it.It has hot water and security even if they are not always that good but at least they are there. They also have CCTV security cameras and underground parking if your friends visit you. \n\nFinding accomodation for less than 5000 Baht is not that hard. Find some Thai friends and see if they can recommend you. Also if you are the only farang in the building they are going to talk about you. It is just the way Thais are. Make sure they can\'t see you from the road and who you are bringing to your apartment. If someone comes to your condo they think you are bonking them. You might or might not be, but it is just the way Thais are. They are addicted to gossip. They can\'t help themselves. My last Apartment in Rangsit I was a constant source of gossip because they could see my room from the road. It irritated the hell out of me and I eventually stopped buying from the corner shop because they would not and could not stop talking about me. But you should be able to find an apartment or condo for less than 5000 Baht. I now pay less than 6000 Baht a month with everything included and would not consider paying much more. In Rangsit I never got my deposit back. That is the way Thais are also. Most of the time they think you are richer or they are just being cheats and refuse to give your deposit back. You would be hard pressed sometimes to get your deposit back and they often insist upon a 6 month contract. But anything even close to the 10000 Baht a month mark would be way out of my league.',1,'119.42.80.74',1,'2010-03-26 21:21:20','2010-03-27 08:23:34'),(202,1242,'Sam','ajarn.sam@live.co.uk','Bangkok','Firstly i think that Kate from Ubon Ratchatani sounds like a great teacher.

I responded and said that maybe the kids and parents should blame themselves. We are often told that it all rests on the teacher but do the kids ever look at themselves? As for the generally accepted view that one should not yell at the kids I don\'t agree. When other kids are trying to speak and you have kids speaking and so they can\'t hear, what are you supposed to do, just keep quiet..?? They disrupt the class and I have and do throw kids out of the classroom if they continue to talk after asking them to keep quiet. What is the point of having them there? \n\nI had one IEP class who most of them refused to shut up when I was teaching. I tried everything. I tried to make it more interesting. It is true when I started I did not have a TEFL certificate. Now I do and it helped a little especially with getting them to speak - putting them in a circle and I was not the only one to be doing the talking. But to suggest that it is all up the teacher is wrong. The kids need to reflect upon themselves and too often they don\'t. They never read outside of school, are addicted to games, there is a lack of seriousness when it comes to learning and most just want to play games and at the end of the year we are forced and expected to pass them, and they do the exams as many times until they do. What is the incentive to learn? So what is the incentive to learn in this country. I will tell you. None. They want entertainers and not teachers. \n\nI have realised I probably went too fast with the initial material and many could not understand and so I have slowed it down and tried to make it more fun but at the current pace they are on a 20 year crash English programme and even then, I doubt many will be able to speak the language. A lot is up to them. They think it is too hard. Thai teachers drill the importance of grammar rules into their head until they think English is so hard they don\'t even want to try. Then they pass them even the ones who don\'t try. Yes I yell sometimes because quite simply if I don\'t the kids who want to learn can\'t because some of them are busy with their cell phone or computer games and just couldn\'t give a rats ass. When they are talking most of them are nervous, but when someone else is talking then they talk so others can\'t hear. What should I do...? \n\nAs for the TEFL certificate, it has helped me a little but only slightly, but I found the topics frivolous and I find that is what the kids want to learn. They want to learn how to order at hamburger at Mc Donald\'s and not even so much as a word about world history, the 2nd world war, economics, global warming etc etc etc.... It is tragic really the lack of serious desire to be really educated. In the beginning of the year I asked M5\'s if they knew about World War II. Most of them had no idea about the most defining event of the 20th century.

However the mark-up on the BKK-LON flights is simply too much and will ultimately put people off returning home for a holiday during the school holiday and they will stay in Thailand and holiday here or take a holiday in another S.East asian destination during April which is better value.\n\nI still think the price of Thai food is very reasonable but as you said (if you want a bit of western grub/stodge) then the British themed pubs are just too expensive (always have been but when your here for 3 weeks as a tourist it\'s no problem but when you live here and living off less than 40k a month, i stay well clear of these places)....not only on food but also drinks as well.\n\nFinally my friend and I who are also returning to the UK next week were also considering going into Bangkok to buy some cheap polo shirts, T-shirts etc to take back, but both agreed that these days in UK there are lots of big sports shops, factory outlets, Primark etc that you can NOW actually buy T-shirts, polo shirts, shorts etc for less money and more importantly better QUALITY products than you can in Bangkok so we are saving our hard earned baht for a shopping raid back in Blighty.\n\nAnd we too will be enjoying a QUALITY pint of lager and a cheap \"Curry Night\" at our local Wetherspoons for a lot less than you would in a British style pub in Bangkok.\n\nGood article and total agreement from a fellow Englishman.',1,'118.174.93.157',1,'2010-03-27 22:51:46','2010-03-28 08:42:57'),(205,1496,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','Thanks for your comments Matt.\nIt\'s a shame you were not around in Thailand during the early 90\'s when for one magical day, just one unforgettable day - the exchange rate peaked at 100 baht to a pound, after several months in the nineties.\nWill we ever see the likes of that again I wonder?\n\nI buy most of my clothes outside of Thailand these days.

You may venture into KFC or Mc Donald\'s, or maybe even Subway but after that it starts to get out of my league. If you want cheap clothes go to Pratunam near New Paetchuburi Road and near Pantip. Lots of people and packed with people but a lot of good bargains. It is where clever Thais go. Forget the malls altogether. They are for Thai\'s who want to pretend they are high-so. They are all run by the same chains and so are pretty much the same price. I was once with my darling-to-be in Emporium shopping centre and went to a movie there. She forced my hand and told me that I had to take her shopping - and we went downstairs and start to look at the prices for a new pair of jeans starting at 4000 Baht thank you very much. Shocked and in dismay - \"Geezus\" - it was more than Oxford street in London. My mind was reeling if she thought I was buying her a 4000 baht pair of jeans. I felt like giving her 500 Baht and telling her to buy what she could and then heading upstairs to wait for her at the movies. Well, I didn\'t do that or even buy anything. The result was that half way through the movie she got up and went to the toilet and never came back and I later got an sms to say she left because I \"could not take care of her\". Ah..., alas... it seems that the pleasures of Thailand are just not what they used to be. \n\nBut my advise is when you come here, live like the locals. Forget the theme pubs. I never understand why anyone wants to eat at expensive MK restaurant at 800 Baht a crack in the bright lights when you can go to a Thai resturant in the shade and in the trees all romantically lit and eat Thai food for around 500 Baht and have a feast. Most food chains are a rip off here and for Thai wanting or pretending to be high-so. Forget them. Down on Soi 36 Sukhmvit (close to Thong Lor BTS station I think it is you can eat good quality food for around 50 Baht a plate. always look out for bargains and where the locals go, not the shopaholics and wanna-be high-sos. Stick off the beaten track, buy clothes on the street and same as the food. When you buy a bowl of noodles at 35 Baht why would anyone want to spend 200 - 300 Baht in a restaurant for sometimes 10 times that. Even the food courts in malls are good normally. As they say when in Rome do as the Romans do, and the best advice I can give is leave those food chains at home and eat there only when you have to or when you know the prices and are prepared to pay them. It is true I have been told by my darlings that I am \"Kinneeeeow\" (in a whining tone) (stingy) but the glory days of 70 Baht to the Pound and loads of ignorant farangs may be over.',0,'61.19.50.130',1,'2010-03-28 19:53:22','2013-03-13 05:58:20'),(208,1502,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','Good stuff Tom. \nI remember reading an article years ago in the Bangkok Metro magazine by some expatriate businesswoman.

From personal experience, I can also say with some authority that there\'s an even bigger difference between living here as an expat employee and running your own business.\n\nAll that said, if one is to adapt, then as the saying goes, when I Rome do as the Roman\'s do. That doesn’t mean try to become a Thai, because no matter how long you live here or how well you speak the language, you will always be the Farang.  \n\nBut it\'s dangerous for state of mind to compare things with how they are back home. This is one really bad habit that many new to living in the country develop shortly after arriving. \n\nLook, Thailand ain\'t our mother country and it never will be, so getting irate and upset (like so many do) just because things don\'t happen the way people think they should, or expect them to, will amuse the Thais and put the raging foreigner into an early grave. It\'s what\'s known as \'throwing the dolly out of the pram syndrome\', and we\'ve all seen plenty of that!\n\nSo what\'s the answer? Well, I\'d say take on-board what you enjoy, and don\'t take on and or try to change those things that are out of your control, and yes, go with the flow for the best part. \n\nIt\'s okay to plan ahead, but don\'t try to plan the outcome because it\'s not likely to turn out how you\'d envision it to be. The more the latter is practised, the happier, healthier, and more productive the discontented expat will become as a result. \n\nA happy camper is more likely to achieve greater things (whatever they happen to be) than someone who just plods on the treadmill of life with a face like a wet weekend and an attitude to match.\n\nWe (being the expats in Thailand) only ever get to read and hear about the disgruntled, the infamous rip-offs, and the sob stories, because quite frankly, if life is ticketyboo (as it is for thousands), then there\'s not much to write home about that will interest anyone looking for a good read.  \n\nI\'ve lost count on how many foreigners I\'ve come across over the years that spend most of their time slagging off both the country and its people (not insinuating your piece has any of that of course), but dare to ask them why they don\'t just bugger off home if things here are so bad, and it starts off a whole new and often heated debate.\n\n“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”\n\nCertain individuals will only be able to move forward and progress in life when they want to improve MORE than they want to stagnate. Even if that desire for change is only slightly greater than the option do nothing, they can, and will, form new habits that will inevitably alter both their attitude and their outlook on life as they see it.

There appears to be too many teachers from what I can see and too few jobs, certainly now. I have seen comments to that effect as well. Some schools are now insisting upon university degrees and TEFL and then it also is dependant upon what subject you may teach and want to teach. They appear to be possibly short of science teachers if you have the skills. There also appear to be more of a move towards homeroom teachers. The school where I finished yesterday is starting an MEP (Mini English Programme) and they want to teach Science And Maths in English. The Thai teachers are meant to be doing that but I doubt they are up to the job after doing a 2 week course with the British council. But they know their material. Can they teach it in English? I doubt it. But they also require an IT and even PE teacher to teach in English. Sounds like fun to me. \n\nBut schools are cutting budgets and expect more from teachers, more hours, more work, more expectation. And the Phillipinós who are not far from Thailand came here in droves and filled in the jobs which were going. They get paid less than Native English speakers and often have a lot worse working conditions. All about supply and demand really. I sent off recently for 20 or 30 jobs and got one reply. I am in Thailand, have TEFL, one years teaching experience and a degree. And that job was for for teaching science. They aren\'t exactly leaping off the shelf right now. \n\nI have something to say about all the Phillipino\'s coming here but I will put that in the other column. But I have heard and even seen that they are struggling. My one fellow teachers son who is a Phillipino could not find a teaching job (I am not sure he did not look very hard) was eventually looking for jobs at around 8000 Baht a month (around 300 or 400 Baht a day). He eventually took an admin job I think for 200 Baht a day!! Incredible I think. I have even heard of the Phillipino\'s going back because they can\'t find jobs and I have heard that from quite a few sources. \n\nThen you have the entire TEFL industry which serves it own interests (that right guys - true) and promises a job in \"paradise\" when the job is very demanding, we work very hard and seems to be getting more demanding if you want to be a good teacher. And the schools expect more, and there is more competition. It seems quite different from a year ago when they were short of native speaking teachers. But it is not end April and start of May yet and so there may be some schools who will need someone to come and post at the last minute. If you are not too fusy on location and conditions you could well find a job outside Bangkok if you are prepared to go there and start the same day. It is often the way it works here. \n\nThe first one to pitch up wearing a tie and looks like they can teach and looks decent with no tatoo\'s (they are sensitive to that kind of thing) will get the job. How long he or she lasts is a different story though. Try to get as many details as you can beforehand. You may skip TEFL or CELTA until you have the job sealed. Hope that helps. Come for a holiday, see what happens. If you are serious and not fussy you may land a job. If not you can go back. If anyone is promising is gauranteeing a job in paradise they are having you on. There is no such thing. It is hard work. It is demanding and njobs are thin on the ground right now. Even the jobs are saying they are have a high volume of resume\'s coming through. But we are all applying for the same jobs so maybe that is why. But often the schools want to seal the candidate then and there or within a couple of days unless they are desperate.

In other words, the way things are is the way things are, and you can\'t reasonably expect people or situations to change so the \"ought\" part is largely redundant.\n\nSure, I\'ve seen many people come to Thailand and say \"They ought to have this, they ought to have that, they ought to do it this way\".

Like I said if you are prepared not to be too fussy sure you can find jobs. and of course you should love your job and have the real desire to teach. I do. I enjoy teaching that is. I don\'t always like teaching the kids I do but I know that I am improving. This morning I went for a interview with an agency. That is an agency was trying to get work from a school here in Bangkok and so got 4 teachers to present. Interesting. One from the USA, young, very thin and very blond. From Florida. Myself from England. A third from Miami, Black American woman in her 30\'s I would say, and a fourth, a British man, in his 40\'s. \n\nWe all presented. The American guy about the weather in the USA - Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. If he taught that to the kids I was teaching it would have been way over their heads. They would not have got it. He also spoke too much and did not get them or try and get the participants to speak. I spoke about family tree - father mother etc... ages and profession and see if they could speak about that. The people I asked could. \n\nThe third was the American woman from Miami. Quite good about present continuous but I thought she spoke too much and should do more eliciting from the audience. The 4th was the British man who spoke on a subject similar to mine but went far too deep in my opinion. All of what I talked about plus personalty etc etc..... much too deep. \n\nMy kids I taught in M1 and M5 would have been lost. If there is one thing I think we farangs don\'t get is that we come from our experience as we were taught in our countries and try and apply it here and it fails. We talk too much. We don\'t elicit. And we don\'t get the kids to speak and the most of the time they don\'t know what we are talking about and the lesson fails. They get bored and they switch off. We have to try and get them to speak. And that is hard. It takes passion, commitment, confidence and understanding from the teacher and also needs to make it fun. \n\nI think we can\'t take our models from our respective countries and apply it here because they fail. They don\'t work. TEFL definitely taught me that. I was talking too much. I need to get the students to speak and that is what they mostly want here. We can always learn.

I\'d just like to comment about the lack of general knowledge from Thai students.\n\nI totally agree with Martin\'s statement.\n\nThis is a good example;\n\nIn one of my M/3 classes I had one boy who got interested in W.W.2 history firstly from a flight simulation called IL-2 1946. I enjoyed this flight simulation at home as well so we firstly had discussions about the the game (which is very difficult) in/out of class. This obviously led to the actual history of W.W.2. Later we were exchanging W.W.2 English language movies and he was really enjoying them. He would always ask me questions and talk about the movie and history involved like Pearl Harbor\n\n(December,7,1941). We would also discuss the events that took place before the attack and after the attack after class. In to the second term he was really enjoying W.W.2 history. He was learning about the entire time period,important people and events. Later he was even getting into music of the time period and he enjoyed listening to Glenn Miller etc. This is the cruncher, he talked a lot about W.W.2 history with his fellow classmates in English but because the rest of the class did not know about W.W.2 and they were probably not interested in W.W.2 they did not like him.\n\nThis is a poor example;\n\nMany Thai students can speak a lot about Korean pop stars and drama stars .They can give excellent presentations in English about a Korean pop star. They can also talk a lot about Koren food. I then ask them Why is there a North and South Korea? They have no idea.\n\nAnother example;\n\nThe Thai teachers were using a particular text book.

For the last two years, I have lived and worked in a small village south of Hadyai, where I rent a very nice house for minimal rent.\n\nLooking back, I see that I was a typical farang trying to enforce farang culture on the Thais. I would flash my headlights at motorbikes travelling on the wrong side of the road, especially at night when they had no conception that they were dazzling me.\nI would shout \"Tham arai\" whenever I saw a guy taking a leak in full view of all around, and would blow my top as he turned around to walk away still doing up his flies. I would vent anger whenever I discovered that I had been ripped off by the \"Thai price/Farang price\" pricing structure that exists everywhere.\n\nI short, I was trying to educate uneducatable people.\n\nThis desire to \"teach\" of mine extended to my current house. I live in a row of nice houses, and there is a nice area of grass about five metres from my door. I decided to take care of this grass as if it was my garden, and carefully tended it for some eighteen months. During that time, I refused to allow cars to park \"outside my garden.\" Many Thais accepted my request and moved on, but some were aggressive, and questioned my motives.\nMy landlord noticed the care I was taking of his piece of land, and decided that I should pay him 500 baht a month for the privilege! Of course, I refused, but he threatened to take the money out of my deposit.\nIn return, I threatened to give three months notice, and use my deposit to pay the rent for that time. He decided to withdraw his demand for extra money, but I could tell he was not happy. \nMy threat triggered several actions. The first was that we farangs cannot educate Thais with our culture, and so I resolved to stop trying.\nThe next action was when a pair of local residents marched up to my \"garden\" one day, and viciously hacked down the two banana trees outside my house. (I spent many evenings eating my supper, admiring the beauty of those trees).\nFinally, I began to notice that many cars started to arrive and park outside my house for a short period, even though there was plenty of room to park outside other houses.\n\nThis is when I made my decision to relax.\n\nIt was obvious to me at this time, that Thai people love to upset farangs who try to change their culture. Their actions were obviously trying to provoke me into a state of anger, but luckily, I saw through this, and did nothing.\nBaby banana trees began to grow from the root of the hacked banana trees, and one day I woke up to see that they too, had been hacked down.\n\nIt was then that I adopted a \"Tham jai khun\" attitude.\nI began to feel that the residents around me were unhappy because I was showing no reaction, and that gave me a sense of pleasure.\n\nAt this present moment in time, very few cars park outside my house, and another pair of banana trees are thriving!\n\nA few song titles were quoted in this conversation, so may I suggest a Paul McCartney and Wings song entitled \"Live and let die\"?\n\nPhil.',1,'117.47.181.229',1,'2010-04-04 04:24:56','2010-04-04 16:36:40'),(237,1494,'Aitch','aitch@mrroomfinder.com','Chiang Mai','Actually Danny Nomad, the best place I\'ve ever lived in Bkk was found through an agent and at a favourable price.\n\nThe room I actually wanted had been unoccupied for over 10 months, and the private landlord would not come down one Baht on the rent even when I offered a 12 month contract all paid up front.\n\nAn agent found me an even nicer room in the same building on the very top floor (31st), with the same size and layout, but for 8,000 THB/Mo less than the one I first wanted located on the floor below.\n\nSometimes agents bring greedy private landlords back down to earth, and as a consequence when their pads become managed by an agency, the place comes back on the market at a cheaper rate for the tenant.\n\nHappens all the time with all kinds of property, and the landlords who try to claw back agents one-off fee by hiking up the price, are often the ones that see their properties unoccupied for long periods of time.\n\nLike any business model, there are the good, the bad, and the downright ridiculous which is why the internet is such a good resource, as it gives tenants the opportunity to read real reviews by those who have used a particular service and or lived in an actual place they\'re interested in.\n\nAn established and well respected agency may also have a long page with real customer testimonials on their sites (a wise move in my book). \n\nAll these things combined help home hunters to make better informed decisions in the 21st century and not all real estate agents are bad eggs just as all used car salesmen are not rip-off merchants either.\n\nYou may or may not want to read this article which relates to the above:  http://www.mrroomfinder.com/Articles/Roomfinder_Estate_Agents.php\n\nAitch',1,'119.31.72.60',1,'2010-04-04 10:21:03','2010-04-05 06:00:05'),(238,1496,'jock','rangers1690@gmail.com','','Hong Kong is the place to go for cheap threads.\n\n',0,'89.241.56.223',1,'2010-04-04 10:25:42','2010-04-05 06:00:05'),(239,478,'Sabbatical','simonspowart01@gmail.com','UK','A great article, thanks for sharing your experiences.',0,'93.96.49.252',1,'2010-04-04 13:54:17','2010-04-05 06:00:05'),(240,1242,'Peter Burke','peterandcat@thai.com','Phetchbun','I have to agree a bit!...I have helped in the past the schools to get a teachers, and alas have sometimes believe I had picked the right type of person for the job.

I agree with you about doing the same things, having routines, but I\'d do that back home, as I\'m sure everyone does. That\'s why your article is so good, it\'s relevant to many people, especially expats, and it spurs people to think and re-evaluate things, which they need to, everyone does. \nAlso, I teach kids and their parents always explain why they do so many extra classes as being \'Thai culture\', there really is a market for extra schools here that doesn\'t exist in the UK. This may only be Bangkok, granted, but it\'s at odds with any notion of a \'Sabai-Sabai-culture\'. Lastly, many Thais I\'ve met spend a large part of their disposable income on transportation, usually their cars, and you should look at the sheer numbers of bookings taken at the current motor show.

I just believe that they have a different ontological persuasion, a different orientation through life\'s cultural conundrum, and that they have a unique way of expending their energy when compared to, say, us farangs.\n\nIn many ways, I think it can be seen in a positive light as Thais make much more of an effort to get \"quality time\" or what the Americans like to call \"down time \"than us farangs, especially where that relates to the family and close friends and to their immediate community. \n\nIn effect they do something that we westerners often fail to do - they \"take the time to smell the roses\". In that sense, they are probably much wiser than us and maybe even get more out of life because of it instead of being e.g. someone like me who is often running around like a headless chicken looking for  something that never arrives, like Beckett\'s Godot in \"Waiting for Godot\"!\n\nthanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-04-07 10:31:38','2010-04-08 20:15:08'),(250,1153,'BARIS','b_orses@yahoo.com','Khon Kaen','Dear Amand Jentges,\n\nInteresting story.

The best paid job in Thailand I have seen her on this website is around 60000 Baht. I could be wrong. At today\'s exchange rate that is around 1200 Pounds. With the UK having its worst ever recession for years (8% unemployment the last time I checked) to be offering 2800 Pounds to teach one family sounds far fetched. it all comes down to the details. When agencies phone me and tell me they have a job and want me to come and see them and I ask them about the details and they can\'t tell me I take it they don\'t have a job and they don\'t have the contract but are just fishing. Maybe that is just me. But unless they can tell me salary, hours, conditions etc.... for the most part I am not interested. for me it means they don;t have a job and not specific enough.

But then I lived in the UK. Some haven\'t. I wouldn\'t have fallen for any of these scams. True. Too good.

Teacher\'s get paid less than 2000 Pounds a month in London the last time I checked. It is not a sought after professsion in London. They struggle for teachers there. Low paid compared to cost of living and hard work and chaotic I heard. We do it in Thailand because they need it and it is one of the few jobs we can get here and get paid reasonably compared to anything else and hopefully a work visa as well. But I have seen from some or many agencies they offer it and then don\'t deliver on it, and say some document - this or that - is missing.

I\'m afraid I have to disagree with your first point e.g. \"It is a language that can be learnt by anybody and taught by anybody who has learnt it well.\"\n\nyes, people can get to a certain level but, unless they have learned it from say, childhood, there will always be the obvious problems with things like pronunciation, and the kinds of typical errors that L2 learners make. As a teacher, I would say they are things like not following a modal with a verb 1 or infinitive verb, or using an article incorrectly e.g. a, an, or the, not to mention pronunciation problems.\n\nThis is not to say that they are not at a sufficiently high enough level to communicate only that, just like farangs will never become Thais no matter how long they live in the kingdom, so non- native speakers will never become as fluent in the language as native speakers. This is of course true of all languages, not just English, and a native speaker will spot a non-native speaker of English a mile away 90% of the time.\n\nI assume by the following, \"Today people who know the language tend to speak Inglish (integrated English) more than the traditional English\" you mean \"international English\" and of course you are right. Can\'t say I\'ve ever heard of the portmanteau word \"Inglish\" though. \n\nSorry, not sure what you mean by the following: \"The most possible reasons are the prejudices and biases which are precolonial and pro enterprise.\"\n\nIf they were pre-colonial, they would largely be indigenous, intra-cultural and therefore not a legacy of colonialism which I think is the point you are trying to make? As to being pro-enterprise, that\'s something of a misnomer as, on the one hand, they may appear to be simply responding to the needs of the marketplace, but on the other, they aren\'t because if they were, they\'d be making more of an effort to cater to all the customers of that marketplace, which most language school owners do not appear to be doing. Instead, as I said in the article, they appear to be simply following what the majority of the customers want.\n\nI agree 100% here: \"Today many students here in Thailand will be happier to learn nothing worthy of the time spent, with a fair individuals whose focus is to lengthen their course time to gain more income, than invest their energies to learn as much as possible in one class.\"\n\nAs Neil Smith rightly said below, \"the aim is to maximize profits, not to be fair.\"\n\nRegarding the following: \"If one wants to know about accents they should make a call to an international call center and one will find folk who can imitate an american, Britisher or an Aussie without flaw.\"\n\nSurely the main point of spending 1000s of dollars on a good education is so as to have the \"real Macoy\" e.g. not to be able to be like a comedian and develop a skill of mimicry? After spending so much on your education, would you really want to speak English like a call center worker in Bangalore rather than a native speaker?\n\n\"Thank you again for your article, its recruiting time here in Thailand, Im quite sure most administrators will desire to read your debate and even though it wont change their biases too soon it may do so eventually.

Many teachers who are not certified with their local districts back home are nevertheless likely to have as much if not more EFL experience than certified teachers fresh out of college, and have often gone through classroom observations and other forms of evaluation in EFL contexts. Also, to suggest that the 16 years everyone with a degree of any kind spent as a student does not constitute observing others teach is misleading. I would argue the contrary; that this is a deep reservoir of both good and bad teacher models. Also, lesson planning is a skill which can be learned independently and developed over time. In fact, research on teachers and teaching has shown that certified teachers report peaking around 6 years after completing their teacher training, which suggests that teaching is a process of discovery in which practitioners need time to mature and establish methods which suit them personally. This process holds for certified and non-certified teachers alike.\n\nAsking only why non-certified teachers are here in Thailand obscures the important question of why it is that certified teachers are here. I suspect that everyone who holds employment does so primarily to gain income. This applies as much if not more so to certified teachers, who often do not have employment experience outside teaching, which would make them more dependent on teaching than the sort of non-certified teacher described by the Ajarn Guest (AG). Oddly, the AG also appears hostile towards the habits and routines that people might bring to the classroom from their previous careers. Are we to assume that no skills transfer from one occupation to another, and that the classroom is a place which should be isolated from all other walks of life? Is English not a tool to help Thai students participate in the global economy and a developing global culture? One could argue that teachers coming from other fields might have a better idea of the English language demands Thais will face once they enter the workplace and so be better prepared to point these out. Besides, language classrooms are not the only places that teaching and learning take place. Non-certified teachers often have experience in corporate training and employee mentorship. \n\nRegarding the reasons that certified teachers come to Thailand to teach, I suppose these are quite broad and often very similar to those given by non-certified teachers. However, I know for a fact that most certified teachers come here to teach in international schools. It’s a truism that international schools are far easier to teach in than public schools back in Canada, the US, or the UK. Smaller class sizes, abundant resources and affluent students (families) stand in stark contrast to the limited funding, diverse student bodies and violence which complicate public education in English-speaking countries today. I know certified teachers personally who teach in international schools around Asia for precisely this reason and not for some higher purpose. Also, one must ask why any teacher, certified to teach in their home district, would come to teach in Thailand at other than a high-paying international school? Among the many possible reasons, I see two as being most plausible: one, they come here temporarily to gain experience, both in teaching and in living in another culture. Such people are here more to pad their resumes than to make a lasting contribution to Thailand, which the AG rightly suggests is what all teachers should aim for. Second, I suspect that some certified teachers come here to teach because they cannot cut it at home. Even though they are trained specifically to teach in their homeland, they abandon that to teach here in Thailand. Whatever their other shortcomings, it cannot be said that non-certified teachers come here because they failed as teachers back home.\n\nThe AG claims that non-certified teachers are not teaching English, per se, but in fact teaching about English. Given the temporal and logistical constraints of the classroom, particularly in resource-strapped Thailand, teachers need to spend some time focusing on form in addition to providing opportunities for authentic communication. After all, if Thai students are to learn English, independent study will be an important component of their program and they will need some of the meta-language to support this. Of course the ratio of form to function depends on the goals of the school program. Besides, teachers certified in Western school districts are typically trained to teach native-speakers who are by definition already essentially fluent. Because of this, teachers of English certified in English-speaking countries are typically trained to teach a considerable amount of form.  So it seems to me that certified teachers suffer the same disadvantage that the AG claims exclusively for non-certified teachers - they were never trained to teach non-native speakers of English. Likewise, they were trained using texts developed for a specific audience - the students in the school districts from which they come.\n\nContrary to what the AG has implied about online or distance delivered masters programs in language education/applied linguistics, when they are offered by reputable universities, they are as rigorous as classroom-based programs. They also require verifiable teaching experience as a prerequisite, and, in addition, students in such programs have the benefit of a concurrent teaching job in which to immediately apply newly acquired ideas and practices. People who teach first and then complete a teaching degree after they have gained some experience probably choose a career in education for better reasons than those who seek certification right out of high school.\n\nIn the end, schools themselves must take the brunt of the responsibility for learning outcomes. Regardless of whether a teacher is certified or not, a poor curriculum combined with a lack of resources, mentorship and/or direction will yield poor results. Teaching involves a set of skills and knowledge that is very hard to quantify. Certification processes, by definition, can, at best, only ensure that teachers conform to a basic set of locally construed standards. One cannot conclude from this that all certified teachers are equally competent. Anyone who has ever attended school, anywhere, can tell you that some teachers are better than others, despite holding the same credentials. Good teachers have certain intangible qualities which no amount of certification can replace. In the end, well run schools normally get better teachers and less well run ones get those who may be less committed.

Am I saying this is right? No, of course not, but it is a cultural aspect of the Thais who are extremely fussy about personal hygiene and perceive the latter to, well...not be. As a quick test, ask your students next time you are in class what things come to mind when they think of these nationalities, and you\'ll see what I mean. The most common word is \"men\" meaning bad smell when referring to the body or their cooking.\n\nThis is fairly typical of many cultures who dislike neighbours for some reason or other. Sometimes it borders on racism, and other times it\'s just a quirky poking of fun e.g. as in the Irish apparently being stupid. Think of the French/Belgians, the Irish/English, the Americans/Canadians etc., etc., and you\'ll see what I mean. \n\nThe same dynamic works with the Thais and people from Laos, and most Thais will crack a smile and immediately think of stupid, ignorant farmers when they think of people from Laos.

Echanes','ramanatha.rlechanes@gmail.com','Bangkok, Thailand','Hey \'Ooh, that hurts\', Learning by distance from a reputable university is equally valuable and can compare very well with any  in-campus study in many ways. There are a great number of students nowadays taking bachelor\'s and master\'s degrees by distance.  I am one of them currently studying a bachelor degree in English at London University - Goldsmiths College and I\'ve just had my first  exam at the local testing centre last week.  The standard of examinations and the rigour of the study is the same as the \'real thing\'. The amount of reading and exigencies of the subject is as intense as if you were taking classes at the London campus, but there are some major differences as well:  in a study by distance you can\'t consult your advisors and professors all the time, you have to rely on your own instincts and critical thinking, you must be very organized and disciplined, that is, you need a lot of self discipline;you have to manage your time well and prepare your own syllablus and materials.  The study advantages you have is in the VLE, the essay scheme and the e-seminars. Beyond that, you must study very hard and be very responsible for your learning outcomes.  So a  study by distance is not for everyone if you don\'t have what it takes.  Therefore, when I\'ll have finally  earned  my degree, I will be very proud of what I have achieved and I won\'t tolerate anyone to belittle my qualifications because I know that  I have earned it by dint of pure hard work.\nAh, and I almost forgot to tell you, I also have to work to take care of my family.\nCheers mate!',1,'124.120.81.188',1,'2010-05-09 00:24:36','2010-05-09 07:38:25'),(302,1618,'Bart','maas_bart@hotmail.com','Dordrecht, Holland','What is your opinion on non native speakers from a country like Holland?

Good teachers come from all works of life, religious affiliation, socio-economic background etc., etc.\n\nSurely the most important thing is whether they turn up for class late, not smelling of alcohol from the night before, are committed to bettering the lives of their students, and can teach? Right?\n\nThis was one of my points about the silly short-sighted belief that white skinned, blue eyed farang teachers are somehow born with innate teaching skills and will take care of little Johnny or Navaporn when in fact the reverse is often the case and a good Dutch or German teacher, while he or she may not have all the correct qualifications, may have a commitment that far outweighs the other considerations.\n\nThese are my ideas on that and people should judge and be judged individually not wholesale as if every Pakistani, Indian, of Filipino, or Dutch person could possibly bring the same set of skills to the classroom. People are people and vary as much as they display similarities. It is important therefore to judge people individually and not lump them all together as if they were clones of each other.\n\nThanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'86.51.168.74',1,'2010-05-10 05:50:37','2010-05-10 12:59:09'),(306,1618,'Bart','maas_bart@Hotmail.com','Dordrecht, Holland','Thanks for your reply,\n\nI did noticed the story about the Swedish woman, but i meant it more in general.

Why do you then later suggest that I simply \"think about it\"? You seem to be contradicting yourself here. Are you a constructivist or cognitivist?\n\nThe truth is that there is a range of possible modes of learning and people have to spend some time exploring exactly which strategies work best for them. I will concede that there are some skills that are more effectively learned using more practical modes, particularly those which require us to train our bodies, such as learning to play a sport or a musical instrument. However, teaching hardly fits into this category, and, in any case, everyone who has ever been a student or undergone some form of vocational training has \'hands-on\" experience in a classroom. The brain is the part of the body which \"experiences\" and learns, and it can do this in a range of contexts. \n\nFurthermore, I would argue that most people who complete a distance/online master’s degree in teaching from a reputable university, while they are employed as a teacher, actually get more \"hands-on\" experience than people who complete a 2-month practicum in a traditional teacher training program (and far more than the few days experience that a CELTA candidate gets). An online master\'s degree in TESOL/App. Ling. typically takes 1-2 years to complete, depending on the amount of time a candidate commits to it. This means that he/she is in the classroom for anywhere from 8-24 months, actively applying the knowledge they are gaining, as they acquire it. Furthermore, because they are able to simultaneously re-examining their teaching methods and materials while bringing new ideas onboard, they can actually create new knowledge. In contrast, teachers completing practicums in traditional teacher training programs rarely have the opportunity to take full control of a class or to guide learners over extended periods of time.\n\nOTH, I would also have to assume you are unfamiliar with how reputable online/distance MEd/MA programs are run. Students in these programs are typically assigned to a cohort, which forms the basis for peer communication that usually takes the form of email and/or IM, including voice/video chat.

Guess you got bored trying to make noises on Steve Schercher\'s blog eh and so now you\'ve decided to see if you can get a reaction from me. Is that it?\n\nI suggest you read the other posts, especially the one to James where I say, among other things, that we have a lot to learn from the Thais about how to relax and take the time to enjoy life, so I don\'t believe that what I\'ve portrayed in my article is \"totally a shallow glimpse about how people (some thai (sic) and some farangs) should live their lives.\"\n\nHere\'s what I said:\n\n\"I feel I should clarify a point here: I’m not suggesting that Thais are lazy or unmotivated; that they have no desire to better their lot or that of their children. I just believe that they have a different ontological persuasion, a different orientation through life’s cultural conundrum, and that they have a unique way of expending their energy when compared to, say, us farangs.\n\nIn many ways, I think it can be seen in a positive light as Thais make much more of an effort to get “quality time” or what the Americans like to call “down time “than us farangs, especially where that relates to the family and close friends and to their immediate community.\n\nIn effect they do something that we westerners often fail to do - they “take the time to smell the roses”. In that sense, they are probably much wiser than us and maybe even get more out of life because of it instead of being e.g. someone like me who is often running around like a headless chicken looking for something that never arrives, like Beckett’s Godot in “Waiting for Godot”!\"\n\nDid you even read any of the other posts? It doesn\'t look like it. And since you are a Filipino, what makes you think you have the right to defend the lifestyle of Thai people?\n\nI am not making any further responses to you as you are clearly out to cause trouble and, not content with being refused the opportunity to become an Ajarn blogger (due to your poor command of English), and having your last posts on the other blog deleted by Phil, you are now trying to peddle your vitriol here.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-05-14 01:20:10','2010-05-14 08:38:34'),(331,1618,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Hi Thevarajan, \n\nI agree with you about all the fuss about hiring “native English”, teachers.\n\n\"I mean what’s the point of hiring a person if he/she can’t do the job?\"\n\nExactly, so it should all be on a case by case basis and not some blanket decision because someone doesn\'t fit a particular racial profile or isn\'t from a particular country.

I kid you now. \n\nI once worked in a  well-known language school chain in Bangkok, and there was a Burmese gentleman whose knowledge of grammar and punctuation was extremely good. His nickname was \"the professor\", and he was a first rate teacher if the feedback from the classrooms was anything to go by.\n\n\"Even Swedish people, who have a brilliant command of the English language because of the schooling system, cannot pronounce the ‘s’ sound in it’s ‘z’ form, which often shows them up as far from perfect teachers of the English language.\"\n\nThis is true, but does it mean that they can\'t contribute to the overall well-being of their students\' academic lives? Isn\'t there a danger here too that we only select and subsequently employ teachers who can teach a particular way of speaking? Shouldn\'t we be also looking at the bigger picture and evaluating all of their skills not just grammar, pronunciation, punctuation, and pedagogical awareness, but also on their commitment to the job, whether, for example they are interested in things like the pastoral development and general spiritual care of their students et al?\n\nMoreover, in a world where English is an international language (EIL), more and more people are travelling, whether for business or for pleasure and, because of this, there\'s an ever-increasing need to be able to understand non-native speakers of English and the differing accents that they speak with, so I think we should be more accepting and less critical of such situations where the exact vowel or consonant quality produced by say, Swedes, Germans, or Dutch is not 100% tip top e.g. where the criteria is that they don\'t speak exactly like the man on the BBC news.\n\n\"Forgive me if I offended you, but this is why native speakers are paid more than non-native, and it would be the same for me if I tried to teach Spanish to Thais.\"\n\nAgain native speakers do not always make the best teachers and other things need to be considered as well.\n\nThanks for your thought-provoking post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-05-14 01:51:28','2010-05-14 11:20:12'),(333,1618,'Philip Bennison','philipbennison@yahoo.co.uk','Thailand','Dear Tom,\nThank you for your constructive reply to my post.\nI whole-heartedly agree that there are many native English language teachers who either have no spelling/grammar ability, or speak with a strong accent (Geordies, West Indians etc), and in a perfect world, those factors should be considered by potential employers.\nBut, (and I hate beginning sentences with that word) the potential employers cannot distinguish between our many different accents, and are forced to make their selections on the basis of where our passport originates from. \nI have a very good example of this; my friend is a young Thai man who is now teaching English.

This is the case in every country, whether in S.E. Asia, Western Europe, North America or elsewhere. It\'s further been established that there are both good and bad teachers among those who are apparently \'certified\', although, all other things being equal (they rarely are), certification is preferred. This is apparent to anyone who has ever attended school - anywhere. Also, I\'m not sure why OTH felt the need to praise Sal\'s post, given the poor model of English writing that it is. This is, after all, a website dedicated to the profession of teaching English.\n\nAs far as some male English teachers above the age of 35 being \"sad, lazy, sex pests\", this may be partly true; however, being a “sex pest” is not causally related to the quality of one’s teaching. Furthermore, the term ‘pest’ is highly subjective and must be qualified by the person directly bothered by behavior. We would have to look at the character of such a person and the context within which they operate to know whether the term “pest” is appropriate. In some ways, the term ‘pest’ ignores the fact that the social environment here caters openly to the male sex-drive. This is hardly the fault of any English teacher. Prostitution and poverty have been endemic to Thailand since long before U.S. military forces established R & R camps in Chonburi province. In fact, recent figures peg the domestic sex trade at more than 80% of the total. The remaining portion of the sex trade here largely involves foreign tourists and locally-based employees of international corporations. English teachers rarely make the sort of money required to pay for such services. One can also follow the money trail to find out who among locally-based foreign males actually live a Hugh Hefner lifestyle. Again, it\'s easy to see that most of the men who maintain extensive networks of casual Thai lovers are not in fact English teachers, but those who earn much higher salaries, like hotel and hospitality managers, other corporate expats, independent entrepreneurs and pensioners. In any case, the vast majority of Thai women travelling in these circles are complicit in this behavior and so there must be something very tangible in it for them. Most such females choose to pursue foreigners for reasons of their own (which are often money-driven) and they are normally aware of the risks involved. In any event, infidelity is a widespread characteristic of romantic love here in Thailand and can hardly be blamed on male teachers of English.\n\nBlanket statements about male English teachers (why not include the under 35-year olds - what are they up to?) are unhelpful at best. The fact that economic imperatives and other social/cultural factors currently make it easy for foreign men to do in Thailand what men around the world wish they could do, is hardly grounds for suggesting that they are incompetent teachers.',1,'203.155.100.132',1,'2010-05-17 20:47:39','2010-05-18 04:09:53'),(347,1648,'adam','adamhead396@hotmail.com','chiang mai','yeah, nice article - nothing quite like the World Cup; a feast of footy, colour and skiving  -\nI actually think my team England can do well, lots of pace and thrust now we\'ve got rid of Beckham; but I\'m not investing any energy in hope for that after so many disappointments\nI liked the comment about the drivers - but I think you\'re wrong in saying that they are the best at lolling around on comfy chairs - I am a pretty handy loller myself and will happily compete with any Thai driver, security guard or rich bar girl.........',1,'118.172.89.2',1,'2010-05-17 22:13:44','2010-05-18 05:26:27'),(348,1618,'Eric','simply_eric2@hotmail.com','Thailand','As a Filipino teacher, the school must hire a certain Education graduates regardless of (the)race, nationality and language.\nI felt so sad hearing some news about Filipino teachers being rejected by some schools here in Thailand because we aren\'t English native speakers, yet, to say the least its our official but not the main official language.

You could have put the whole article into one sentence by saying \"Forget about teaching in a Thai government school and do something else\"\n\nWe have been placing our TEFL graduates in jobs in Thailand for almost 7 years. Back then, we managed to find ONE very good Thai organisation who took good care of our teachers, gave them teaching assistants, ready made lesson plans, weekends off and a half decent salary. We still work with them to this day. Trouble is they could only take 25 teachers per year from us so last year we decided to expand and set up partnerships with other Thai teaching organisations. What a big mistake that was. \n\nAll of a sudden we had teachers walking out of their job placements after 2 days and going home in tears. We got complaints of teachers having to teach 60 students with little time for lesson plans (as if that would have made a difference) and most of what you just mentioned came up regularly.\n\nRecently, we had  one young, pretty English/Indian lady, with a BA in education, and we could not get her job placement by any Thai school in Bangkok or the north. We eventually managed to get her placed in Surrathani. The last straw came when the biggest Thai agent we dealt with sent us an email asking us to \" Only send young female teacher with blond hair and blue eyes\". I\'m not joking!\n\nSo that\'s it. We no longer include job placements in our TEFL packages and now offer job placement assistance and no BS advice. At least now I can refer them to this article for a reality check.\n\nProbably best I wait until they have completed their TEFL course though!\n\nJimmy',0,'58.10.74.40',1,'2010-05-20 20:02:37','2010-12-20 09:06:35'),(358,1619,'J.J','jwee@yahoo.com','B.K','Thank you for sharing this steve.

But anyway....\n\nWhy are you angry at the non-qualified teachers playing the Thai system? Everyone that works in Thai education, and I use that term loosely, knows that Thais teach with a big dose of rote learning and a big stick. That is the system here and anyone who doesn\'t use a stick is a step above the Thais. The system here in Thai school is poor at best.\n\nI think a more important question occurs when you turn the argument around. Bearing in mind that Thailand\'s education system is of such a low standard and it is well known that people with no qualifications work here (and that includes women, many of them) I will ask the writer of the article this question.\n\nWhat are you doing here?\n\nLet\'s look at the possibilities.\n\nAssuming you have QTS, why would anyone spend nine months (hardly a lifetime, is it?) gaining QTS with their PGCE in hand, maybe a few years experience teaching in their home country  and then come all the way to Thailand to work as a TEFL teacher? \n\nIf you\'re here as a QT then you would apply to international schools where you would be surrounded by other QTs and you really don\'t have to care about unqualified teachers because you would never see them. \n\nIs QTS enough?\n\nThere\'s a good article on ajarn.com about a maths teacher who says he took work as an English teacher because he couldn\'t find a maths position. Is a fully qualified maths teacher qualified to teach English as a foreign language? No, they\'re not, even though they have QTS. \n\nTo put it a different way, try this example. I am an Englishman. I am qualified to teach French. I have full QTS in teaching French in a UK school. Am I qualified to teach English in a UK school? No!  Am I qualified to teach French to French students in a school in Paris? No! \n\nSo, is a fully qualified (PGCE, QTS, experience, emotional scars) English language teacher from the UK or Australia qualified to teach English as a foreign language in a Thai school?  Actually, they\'re not! What part of a PGCE in the UK, for example, involves teaching English to foreign students? None of it.  \n\nAnd if you\'re a QT of English from the UK, do you have the same facilities, freedom and support to use teaching methods that underpin your qualifications as you work in a Thai school? No! You have a book given to you by the school and that\'s it. Lesson planning becomes minimal with those classic textbooks that Thais hand to foreigners on their first day.  :)\n\nSo, if you\'re not a QT. What next?\n\nIf you\'re putting up with those you describe in your article then you must be working in a Thai school and therefore you\'re most likely not a QT and are earning little more than the equivalent of a UK minimum wage.\n\nIf you\'re not of QTS but have a CELTA or something similar then please don\'t pass yourself off as a teacher of experience and observed teaching practice. QTS involves a lot of observation and feedback. TESOL/TEFL courses, while being very useful for working in Thai school, have so little observation of teaching that they may as well not bother with the six or whatever hours.\n\nI agree, no qualifications at all should prevent an individual gaining employment but, as we know, Thailand has a system of very low standard so it happens. \n\nSo, article writer working in a Thai school, categorise yourself.\n\na. QT.     In which case, you are the failure. You gained QTS in your country to earn a pathetically low salary by QT standards in a Thai school. Henry went from the steel factory to the same school as you and did 120 hours of instruction in massage parlours to realise that teaching was his forte, or his only hope after all those \'massages\' cleaned out his wallet.\n\nb. A TEFL certificated teacher.     In which case, shut up, you did your one month, 120 hours course and have a holier than thou attitude because you \'think\' you\'re a teacher. You\'re not. Your six hours observed teaching doesn\'t stand up alongside a QT. \n\nc. BSc/BA in Education or a Masters of some sort.    Again, you\'re a loser. You did three or four years studying education to work in a Thai school for fifty thousand baht a month or less? No. Something happened to put you in this lowly position so stop taking it out on poor Henry because you\'re jealous that he has a social life in certain entertainment complexes and you need to get over your own failures by putting him  down.\n\nd. None of the above.     Maybe you\'re in an international school. In which case, you have no reason to care about poor Thai kids as you teach all kinds of kids that are not poor.\n\nConclusion: QTs don\'t work in Thai schools unless something is wrong. A past. A secret. Something. Anyone else isn\'t in a position to look down on Mr No Papers! For every drunken, whoring idiot with no qualifications there are drunken, whoring idiots with qualifications. For every brilliant, dedicated, hardworking teacher with qualifications there are brilliant, dedicated, hardworking teachers with little or no qualifications. You can have all the papers in the world to say you know what someone else has taught you, that they got from someone else who put it in a journal or a book. However, you can\'t teach the kind of creativity, understanding, empathy, energy, thoughtfulness, dedication, industriousness and genuine interest that is the vehicle that carries the teaching methodologies learned and practiced by teachers the world over.\n\nIn other words, your article was crap!   :)',0,'58.8.47.142',1,'2010-05-21 03:17:41','2010-05-21 11:28:21'),(360,1153,'Tommy','redwitch1973@hotmail.com','Bangkok','Steve could you clear something up for me.

Fortunately, I was able to get out of the mesh with some suggestions from people with the same experience.\n\nWhen the “sabai sabai” enchantment has lost its charm, you will find yourself at the brink of insanity (overstated).  It’s like waking up after a long reverie where everything seems to be in perfect harmony and ooops, when reality strikes, you can’t easily accept the fact that the truth is a bedlam. Everything is superficially covered with goodness that it will take a moment to notice its evil form. \n\nBut what can a foreigner do? We cannot whine much as it is their culture and not ours. It’s embedded in their system, inculcated in their minds. What we can do best is to apply what Stephen Covey has taught us in his book. If the “sabai sabai” dynamic is eating and wearing you out, there are myriad of constructive activities that will quench your thirst for knowledge. There are always a lot of things to do than to succumb to the maddening flow of the sabai sabai dynamic. It highly depends on every individual’s inclination on what he’d like to do to address this issue. \n\nOthers will sarcastically tell you to pack your things and go straight home to your motherland where there is no culture struggle on your part. But for me, I’ll say, pack your things and head to a destination somewhere in Thailand or to its neighboring countries to have a breath of fresh air and gain new ideas from the experience. Learning is not only achieved in discussing/ tackling thought provoking issues but can be acquired through traveling, too.\n\n I pack my things not to go homeward but rather I take advantage of the numerous Thai holidays to never miss a chance to be onboard( usually air promo tickets), take a bus or just walk for hours to discover new things. I also indulge myself in some activities like photography and exploited my gadgets to learn new things. After doing the rounds, I’m back at the arena with a new perspective.\n \nYou have positively overcome the downside of “sabai sabai” by engaging yourself in pursuing a higher education. I’d like to do that also but not a priority for the moment but definitely I’m going towards that direction.\n\nIt is really a choice if you let yourself vegetate or not in Thailand. We might like their culture or not but the bottom line is, it is their own. \n\nWe cannot do anything about their culture but at least we can do something for ourselves to perk up our intellects and make our lives more exciting. \n\n\nCheers!',0,'61.7.221.146',1,'2010-05-25 19:19:05','2010-05-27 13:44:47'),(372,1658,'Dennis','dgevaux@yahoo.com','Bangkok','I agree with most of the above comments, if my wife didn\'t have a well paid job here then I would be looking to live somewhere else.

When you have to take an IELTS or TOEFL exam, a lack of grammatical knowledge would be glaringly obvious.\n\nYes, this is also true - \"In England they stopped teaching grammar in schools a long time ago.\" I think it was probably in the 1950s or 60s which is why your average Brit hasn\'t a clue about what an independent or dependent clause is, where to put a comma, when to capitalise e.g. for proper nouns etc., etc. \n\nWhen I did my first degree in the UK, I was required to write a 10,000 word dissertation and nobody gave me any help with e.g. how to present my ideas using academic language, general academic conventions e.g. topic sentences, supports, overall structure such as how to quote someone, how to write a bibliography etc., etc.\n\nThe quality of spelling by British native speakers is also appalling, but this is also explained by the fact that so few people read these days e.g. newspapers or magazines and get most of their content online which is often riddled with typos and incorrectly spelled words. I refer to The Bangkok Post and The nation as examples from this side of the world as well as every day I read the online versions and can spot a typo and/or spelling mistake on just about every page. Take a look and you\'ll see what I mean.\n\nAs a freelance journalist, I can tell you that the quality of journalism has also gone down the pan and few people these days seem to have the time to edit and proofread. Fact checking also seems to have been discarded as we witnessed by the BBC and CNN during the mayhem in Bangkok over the last few weeks. (You can read more about this in my next blog!)\n\nToo many youngsters are also more interested in their I-pods, Walkmans, and computer games to bother spending time reading, and this has had an adverse effect on standards of literacy worldwide, too.\n\nI can\'t imagine teaching language using the \"grammar translation method\". It would be incredibly boring for students who, in general, have the attention span of a wasp.\n\n\"I once taught English using the grammar translation method and found it hard. I have to admit a non native speaker would have been better.\"\n\nYes, \"Using other methodologies (communicative for example) perhaps native speakers generally do better.\" Anything that actually gets students to use the language in a real and dynamic way has to be the correct way to go.\n\nThanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-05-27 22:22:06','2010-05-29 12:17:53'),(380,1704,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Yeah,\n\ngreat blog Phil. I agree with almost all of what you said. I would say though that it\'s not strictly true that only Brits can get work in Saudia - all nationalities are catered for (on the native speaker scale that is). You\'ll find a lot of Americans, Canadians, Irish, Australians, indeed it\'s a fairly normal mix of nationalities represented across a broad spectrum.\n\nAs you rightly say, \"...there is a chronic English teacher shortage in Asia, things will look up sooner or later as schools get desperate to put teachers in the classrooms.\"\n\nI\'m not sure I share your optimism as there has been a shortage for many years, and I wrote about it in an article for the English Language Gazette highlighting the fact that there are at least 100,000 teachers needed in Thailand. This was confirmed by the then Minister of Education, so it beggars belief that schools will not employ perfectly competent individuals regardless of age, colour, gender, native or no-native etc., etc. \n\nThis is a blip on the radar of the supply/demand dynamic too which ensures that gaps get filled where and when they are needed, but that is not and has not been happening here, and it\'s something that needs to be radically changed IMHO. It also knocks on the head the monetarist idea in economics that markets always correct themselves if left unchecked, but in Thailand with such a shortfall of teachers this has not happened at all and many students are being taught by local Thai teachers with barely a passing knowledge of English. \n\nThis means that the students are being taught all the mistakes the local teacher makes which worsens the problem. In this scenario, it would be better that those students were not taught at all rather than by someone wholly incapable of teaching that subject as the damage is often irreparable and the incorrect grammar and pronunciation, for example, is often reproduced by the students for the rest of their lives.\n\nI\'ve seen this first hand e.g. the bigotry of Asian parents who discriminate against even members of their own racial group.\n\n\"Not only black teachers can encounter bigoted parents and school administrators. Foreign born Asians such as ABCs (American born Chinese) or ABTs (American born Thais) will often have a difficult time persuading schools to hire them.\"\n\nWhat better teacher could you have? One that has been taught Asian values and who can also speak as fluently as a native speaker?\n\n\"Sometimes these teachers - who carry foreign passports - don\'t even speak their parents\' or grand-parents\' tongue anymore. Again, ruling these job seekers out - even if they\'re qualified - is a parochial approach that doesn\'t have a place in our globalised world.\"\n\nAbsolutely spot on with the growth of International English which I\'ve talked about on my blog.\n\nFinally, I also agree with the following:\n\n\"The funny things when looking at job boards is, job requirements are usually very rigorous but salary is often a complete joke.\"\n\nI always laugh when I see the list of requirements in the job description. The only thing seemingly missing sometimes is that you have to clean the boss\'s toilet, or paint the building green every six months or some other equally ridiculous task. But then when you look at the salary of say, 25,000 baht you fall down with laughter.\n\nI just saw an ad on jobs.ac.uk, an education site where I also contribute articles, and I saw the following article. Here are the jobs requirements (which are called \"emoluments\" don\'t you know!):\n\nIII.

Nothing wrong with my performance, in fact the Principal and the kids loved me, but it was the manager (a Thai male) who decided that I was out, even though he had never once watched a class of mine during those two years.\nSince then I have applied for countless jobs, and received nothing. My agent (a Thai female) suddenly seemed distant when I asked her to notify me if a position came up. Then one day, I telephoned a government school in Thailand with a vacancy, and the Principal informed me that the Thai government has told government administrators not to employ anyone over 60!\nThat hit me really hard. I had just wasted countless hours applying for jobs, and not one single employer had the decency to inform me of the Thai age discrimination rule, including my own ex-boss!\nIt\'s true that I am 60, but my friends don\'t believe me, and tell me I look 50.

He was still able to get a job though with a meager salary. And to top it all, Mahidol University offered an all expense paid surgery though it’s for a case study. He has not run out of blessings instead it kept on pouring in.

I am a Thai working for government in Bangkok. My English is fairy poor. I would like to explain about salary in Thailand for your information. \n\nStarting with people who have bachelor degree working in government school or any government agency, when they first enter they will get about 10300 bath a month including their living allowance money. Then they will get pay rise every year about 4-6 % deepening on their performance. If they work for 10 year  they will get about 25,000 B a month for basic salary excluding other allowance. The other allowance I taking about is that if they work for 6 years they will be qualify to get ranging allowance for 3500 B a month. If they work for 8 years they will be qualify to get 11000 B amont  as a professional qualification. They will get much more allowance if they apply to get more qualification. But if they are executive level they will get much more allowance. The highest salary that they could get will be about 65000 B plus 25000 B allowances.

To correct my last comment stated that the pay rise of government office working person is 4-6 % I mean for every 6 month a time so if one year it will be 8-12 % depending on the performance.\n\nAlso income earned in Thai government agencies depends on what kind of job they do. For example if they are lawyer chemist doctor engineer or some risky job they will get more allowance than for general jobs.\n\nThe figures that I mentioned are appoximate and may not be exact amount but getting close. These figues are based on the current government salary system.\n\nFor those who do not work for government they will get depending on the company they work for. But the lowest labor income that the government anouncement is about 230 bath a day. \n\nYou may think that the rate of income in Thiland is very different between the working class and the office working person as Thailand standard of living is based on agricultural so working class may grow thier own foods or thier relatives are farmers so they can survive very well with thier income.\n',1,'115.87.107.31',1,'2010-06-03 04:31:08','2010-06-03 13:13:32'),(404,772,'Philip Bennison','philipbennison@yahoo.co.uk','Thailand','Great info Geoff, and I took many notes.

Judging by the job adverts on this website an English teacher can not expect to earn anymore working in Bangkok now than they did 10 years ago. And perhaps more surprisingly, foreign teachers can earn the same working up-country as their counterparts in Bangkok. Where as their Thai equivalent has benefited from regular wage increases, both those in Bangkok and those outside. This is particularly true for those teachers who are government employees. I would guess that there probably isn\'t much of a gap between the salary of a foreign teacher and a Thai teacher now and in some cases the gap has gone the other way with Thai teachers now earning more than their foreign counterparts.\n\nMy concern is that if wages for English teachers remain low, the better qualified teachers will not come to Thailand and English language teaching standard will not improve.\n\nI made the move out of Thailand several years ago, not because the conditions or the students are any better, they aren\'t, but with a family to support the salaries in Thailand were woefully inadequate.',0,'79.170.53.13',1,'2010-06-04 07:47:32','2010-06-04 21:32:57'),(414,769,'Adrian L.

One of them is the lack of enough budget in government schools, so they can\'t afford to pay higher salaries.  You can\'t compare Thai schools with those trendy international schools whose students come from very wealthy families and they can certainly afford the high tuition fees, hence, those schools are able to hire highly credentialed teachers at much higher salaries.  \n\nAmong the Thais there are many well-educated, and among those well-educated I could find that because they love Thailand they chose to stay and work in educational institutions for lower salaries instead of earning better elsewhere.  \n\nThe educational problem in Thailand is endemic to this country  and to raise the standard takes time because everything goes slowly here, and, surely one day things will be better.  Unfortunately, still those who have access to a better standard of education are the wealthy and privileged.  The poor don\'t have those golden educational opportunities. This is something we should be discussing instead of criticizing so much.  Maybe we should put our money where our mouth is and start a joint educational project for the poor to raise the standard of education.

I lived in both places and often thought about the comparison.\n\n I lived 4 years in the Big Mango and 4 years in Nakhon Pathom. I agree with most of the things in the comparison but want to say I think that the savings you make on accommodation (unless you are happy to live in a shoe box) can make such a huge difference to both your quality of life and savings that living upcountry has many merits to it. \n\nIn Nakhon Pathom I lived in the most expensive house I found which cost me a princely 7,000B a month. That gave me 3 bedrooms and a couple of rai of land with a small orchard. Moving to Bangkok I was spending 20,000 on a 2 bed 76sqm condo - I did question my sanity. Ok it had pools and sauna etc but I couldn\'t pick my own bananas! In real terms I was spending 20% of my salary in Nakhon Pathom whilst about 35% in Bangkok. As you can tell I don\'t mind spending money on accommodation but I think that if you are calling Thailand \'home\' then you should live somewhere that is a home. \n\nThe thing that I\'m not in agreement with is transport. Skytrain may be quick, but it is expensive in comparison to songthaews and taking taxis is such a nightmare in the Bkk traffic, for me \'upcountry\' transport wins hands down. Nothing beats chugging to the loacal market on your honda dream and feeling the sting of chilli pinch your eyes as you drive past street vendors. Travelling in Bkk is more of a punishment than pleasure. I hated getting round the city. \n\nFor sure the respect that you get and the dedication of the students who seem happy to have a farang to teach them is a real boon compared to working with rich kids in the city who have no real say in the matter that they are learning English. That said if you are nursing a \'hangover\' from the night before you do have nowhere to hide at the supermarket, whilst in Bkk you\'re just another face in the crowd which can be a blessing.\n\nThai friends for me are as genuine in either place so I cant really make a comparison, at least in my experience. \n\nFinally, entertainment. A night in Bkk and I could easily spend 2-3,000 if having some food and then beers and onto a club. I had to put effort into spending 500B upcountry and that was after fresh food to die for. I certainly found that drinking and eating out in Bkk was hugely more expensive than in Nakhon pathom. \n\nConclusion: In Bkk I earned more and saved more as a consequence. Maybe up to 20,000 a month (but I blew it on big nights and expensive holidays as well, the old addage of the more you earn the more you spend is certainly true for me). Upcountry I could save 7-10,000 at a real push. However I guess that my point is that when I was earning 30,000ish in the sticks I felt it provided me with the same life that I needed to earn 60,000 in Bkk to have. \n\nEnd of the day I think it is very subjective on whether you would enjoy upcountry life but I still hold onto that fact that living in \'Muang Thai jing jing\' - the REAL Thailand - is a wonderful way to live, big city life is similar world over. I\'ve just quit my management job in London and will be moving to Mae Sot to work for an NGO as a volunteer so I guess actions speak louder than words.

There\'s plenty of decent stuff in the 10-15,000 bracket if you do a bit of legwork.\n\n\"Nothing beats chugging to the local market on your honda dream and feeling the sting of chilli pinch your eyes as you drive past street vendors\"\n\nYes, but as I hinted at in the article, not everyone wants to risk their life on a motorcycle. I certainly wouldn\'t. It matters not one jot how careful a rider you are because Thailand has a staggering number of idiots on the roads.\n\n\"taking taxis is such a nightmare in the Bkk\"\n\nPeople keep telling me this. They must live in different cities. OK, you get the occasional nightmare journey if there has been a heavy rain and flooding or perhaps a bad road accident causing gridlock, but by and large I find taking taxis in Bangkok a breeze.\n\n\"I certainly found that drinking and eating out in Bkk was hugely more expensive than in Nakhon pathom\"\n\nWell, if you\'re going to hit the clubs, then yes, you could easily do 2-3,000 baht but for most people a night out is a few beers and a meal. Enjoy those things in COMPARABLE surroundings (both in Bangkok and up-country) and there is little difference in the price.\n\n\"In Bkk I earned more and saved more as a consequence. Maybe up to 20,000 a month but I blew it on big nights and expensive holidays\"\n\nYou can\'t blame expensive holidays as a reason for Bangkok costing more.

I was quite good at entertaining a giggling group of Thais though, which is perhaps why I managed to BS my way into so many classrooms.\n\nCOST OF LIVING?\n\nThere have been a plethora of 100% price increases over the years, and although mostly on smallish items, it is the accumulation of them all that gives these tiny changes a big bearing on the overall cost of living.  For example:\n\nThe 5 Baht bag of fruit is now 10 Baht\nThe 5 Baht motorbike taxies are also now 10 Baht\n\nNot sure about the buses as I\'ve not used them for years, but the non-air jobs used to be 3.5 Baht and the big blue air con ones started at 7 Baht or less if memory serves me right.  The Micro busses were 20 Baht fixed rate, but have no idea what they are now, or whether they\'re even still in service.\n\nThere are many more such price hikes on small items, but you get the picture.\n\nI think the average 5,000 Baht studios along middle Sukhumvit are perhaps 6,500 to 7,000 Baht/Mo nowadays. Electricity controlled by apartment buildings used to be 4 to 5 baht a unit, and the standard rip-off rate is now 8 Baht/unit. So there\'s another 60-100% increase on your revenue depending on where you live.\n\nTaxies fares have changed little though, if at all, and Bangkok is still one of the, if not \'the\' cheapest taxi capital in the world.\n\nEating out has gone up and so has supermarket shopping. That 500 Baht basket of life\'s essentials will probably look more like 800 Baht today, nationwide.\n\nAccommodation up-country can be a huge saving, but then again if your salary is reduced by 40% compared to the Big Bangers, then it\'s all relative.\n\nThe comments and comparisons could go on and on, but if English teachers were bitching about their 30,000 Baht salaries 15 years ago when everything was so much cheaper, then god only knows how they can possibly enjoy a comfortable and sustainable standard of living today, if indeed the average wage is really around the 30,000 THB/Mo mark.\n\nAitch',1,'110.49.40.185',1,'2010-06-07 09:09:44','2010-06-08 00:18:17'),(447,1737,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','Some good comments there Aitch.

Nothing illegal was found, only a group of stunned women, children and elderly people residing in the monastery.\n\nThe red-shirted mob also raided the Regent Lodge hotel in Lampang in search of Chaiwat Sinsuwong, a member of the People’s Alliance for Democracy, who was reported to be attending a seminar there.  Chaiwat did not show up anyway. \n\nThe most notorious incident occurred at Chiang Mai university, during an alumni get-together. One red-shirted protester slapped the face of a woman lecturer when she tried to stop the mob entering the party to search for one of the alumni, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban of the Democrat party.\"\n\nhttp://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/148421/rak-chiang-mai-51-is-back-with-its-thuggish-acts\n\nAnother article from the Bangkok Post:\n\n\"Chiang Mai Court has sentenced five men to 20 years in jail for the murder of the father of a key member of the yellow shirt People\'s Alliance for Democracy.\n\nOne of those convicted is the chief security guard of the red shirt Rak Chiang Mai 51 group, Niyom Lueangcharoen, who has jumped bail and forfeited 100,000 baht.

The Chiang Mai Courts issued the search warrant on May 23 and the police searched the home of the red songthaew driver.\n\nHe confessed to police that he delivered the tires that were used to burn the Assistant Governor’s residence on Wednesday, May 19. He told police that he had been hired by the Rak Chiang Mai 51 Group to deliver the tires in his songthaew.\n\nRed shirt supporters burned down the home of Surachai Chongrak, the permanent secretary of the Chiang Mai Provincial Authority who serves as the Assistant Governor, as well as the entrance gate, security booth and other structures in residence of Governor Amornphan Nimanant.

There are several good universities in the UK and some of them offer studies by distance.  The best way to find out is by asking some few representatives in Bangkok such as Mentor or the British Council, if your are interested in British education.  You could also contact Durham University, York and Exeter U. as well.  They have a very good department of education. Exeter U. offers BA and MA degrees in education; they have a great MA Ed. TESOL , and, in fact, after my BA I\'m also  planning to study in this university. Now, I\'m studying at the University of London, Goldsmiths College. If you\'re interested in English studies, this is the university to go to.  They have a great programme in English Literature, but it is very intense. You will  have a huge amount of literature to read and plenty of writing to do. Reading is about 90 % of the study period. So, I don\'t know if that would suit you, but it will really increase your knowledge base exponentially.  However, all the study is done by distance, and the fees are quite affordable. \n\nWell, that is all I can advice you for the moment.

It\'s rather surprising that so many foreign commentators seem to overlook the fact that culture starts with basic thought, and what seems \'logical\' & \'obvious\' in the view of a member of one culture may be quite the opposite from the perspective of another culture. Thai Buddhism, including animism, and local \'Pram\' obviously do have a huge influence on values, aspirations & notions of right & wrong here, just as Christianity and classical Greek & Roman thought provide the basis of Western culture.\n\nThe interesting thing, though, will be to see how much of their culture the Thais are prepared to sacrifice in their quest for a more level playing field. After all, cultures are not fixed, they are dynamic. Western cultures have had to drop many old \'cultural\' ideas, many of which had been justified as \'Christian\', as their own versions of democracy evolved. \n\nWhatever happens will be progressive in the end, I believe. It\'s too late to stop the movement that has started; too many people are waking up.

When I explain the site is a free platform built to bring sellers and searchers together in one place, I then get scorned for not pointing this out.\n\nSo, I then go on to say that I do point it out on various pages throughout the site, and thus give the home page links to the pages in question. Usually at this point, the mail then stops abruptly and there\'s no more communication between us.\n\nI wonder if people call up the Bangkok post classifieds (which cost an arm and a leg I hasten to add), and give their advertising department an ear bashing when the contact details in the paper are incorrect, not responded to, or the ads misleading?

Thais do not blindly follow orders of the leaders of society, instead subordinates tend to expect both tangible and intangible benefits from giving their loyalty and have few qualms about abandoning a leader who fails to live up to the social contract.\n\nThis social contract and other factors have historically prevented the lower social classes from being powerless peasants, therefore I am not sure that traditional Thai culture needs to be radically altered to accommodate a more democratic society.  But of course this remains theoretical as neither Thailand nor its neighbors which share a religion and many aspects of culture have developed democratic systems where political power changes hands peacefully.   \n\nIn fact, many historians (at least some westerner ones I have read) believe that internal power struggles over succession lead to a weakening of power in Ayuthaya which allowed the Burmese invasions to succeed in both the 18th century and earlier. \n\nI doubt we have seen the last of this current drama and the main players, but I am generally better at explaining events that have already happened that predicting them in advance.

This is the time to organize and structure your class the way you want.  This is also the time to pre-assess all new and returning students to determine their level of English. Now let us look at how the first two days of school break down, and the activities you can do for each day. Please note: these activities are designed for a 50-minute period. If you teach in blocks, then the two days of activities can be merged into one day.\n\nDAY 1\n1.Teacher introduction. Introduce yourself to your new students. Tell them who you are, what you do, and what you expect. Things to include are where you are from, your qualifications, your likes and dislikes, hobbies, and maybe a small, personal anecdote. Why do you do this? Because it is a lead-in to the second activity of the day.\n2.Student introduction. Have your students introduce EACH OTHER, following the model of your introduction.. Pair your students up randomly. Put a list of item they need to include on your white board for them to answer. Give your students 10-15 minutes to write their answers on a piece of paper. During this preparation time, the students should be interviewing each other, and writing down the information given by the other student. At the end of the allotted preparation time, call on your pairs to introduce each other. This activity is good because it allows you to accomplish many things. It allows you to:\na.Assess your student’s ability to follow directions.\nb.Assess your student’s speaking ability.\nc.See how well your students work together.\nd.Find the troublemakers (or the students who would rather play than to do class work).\ne.Learn about your students.\n\nDAY 2\nThis is the day you set down your class procedures.  Class procedures need to me taught and hammered in immediately, otherwise you lose too much time during the school year trying to control your little mob of children. What items need to be covered?  Well, how about:\n1.Entering the classroom.  How do you want your students to enter?  All at once?  In a group?  With or without shoes?  (Moreover, I mention this one because at my school, students have to remove their shoes before entering ANY class, as per the director).\n2.Getting to work immediately.  Tell the students what their work assignments will be by having them written on the whiteboard. Train the students into getting to task right away.\n3.When students are tardy.  Do the students have to wai you before entering the room?  Can they just walk in? Set this policy NOW and IN STONE.  NO deviations.\n4.End-of-period dismissal.  How do you want your students to leave?  Does the bell determine anything?\n5.Listening to and responding to questions.  How should the students answer questions?\n6.Participating in class discussions.  How much of a percentage of grade is class participation?  Tell them now!\n7.Understanding.  How will you check for student understanding after you disseminate information?\n8.When the teacher is absent.  What should the students do when you are not in class?\n9.Working cooperatively.  How do you want your students to behave when working in groups?\n10.Keeping a notebook.  How should the students organize their notes, class, and homework?\n11.Knowing the schedule for the class.  Will you preview your class for the next day?  Will you have instructions written on the whiteboard?\n12.FINDING DIRECTIONS.  It is amazing how many students do NOT know where to find directions for class work or homework.  Tell them now.\n13.Passing in papers.  How do you want your students to turn in class work and homework? How about quizzes and tests?\n14.Returning work.  How will you return work?  What should the students be doing while you return work?\n15.Headings on papers.  How do you want your students to put names and dates on papers? Nicknames or full names?  Student numbers?\n16.Asking a question.  How should students indicate that they have a question?\n17.Saying “thank you.”  Is this something you want your students to do?  Many Thai teachers require manners from their students.  Will you?\n\nYes, this is a long list.  However, some items will not need to be covered.  These are optional and need to be chosen by you.  Remember, an effective teacher has well thought-out and structured procedures for all activities.  An effective teacher teaches the procedures for each activity early in the year. An effective teacher rehearses the class so that procedures become class routines.  In addition, an effective teacher reteaches a procedure when necessary and praises to reinforce when appropriate.

But that doesn\'t take into account how many hours they have to put in to get that salary:  6 days a week, 10 or more hours a day M-F with a mere 8 or so on Saturday.  That\'s nearly 60 hours a week for about 65-80% of my salary which I only have to teach 22 hours a week to earn.  Plus Thai teachers get some other \"perks\" at my school like having to pay for any photocopies they need for students, marker pens they need, paper to print things (like their exams), and other \"luxuries\" for teaching.  \n\nSo I think if you put it into perspective and compared apples to apples by calculating an hourly wage it may be even higher than 4 times a Thai teacher.  Let\'s say that a Thai teacher only teaches 4 hours a day, plus has to assist you 3-4 hours a day M-F and teaches all the hours on Saturday, which would reduce their hours to about 48 hours per week (which is probably low in reality).  Now I only teach 22 hours per week so already I work less than half the number of hours that the Thai teacher works--and this isn\'t counting lesson prep time, marking papers, etc. for either.  Now let\'s say I make 30k (for ease after a mere 5 years) and the Thai teacher after 20 is making 24k per month.  If you figure 4 weeks per month the Thai teacher works 192 hours and I work 88 hours per month.  The Thai teacher\'s salary works out to 125 baht per hour compared to my 340 baht per hour--so that may not be 4 times, but I haven\'t been there 20 years either.  \n\nSo if you use the government wage increase rates Dokrak posted of 4-6% wage increases each year, at 20 years I should be around 50k if I were to get the same pay raise that would put my hourly wage at 570 baht to the Thai teacher\'s 125 baht per hour--a little closer to the 4 times figure now.  I\'m not saying that we as native teachers get those same pay raises each year, but I think that might be where they get those figures from.  Similarly as Dokrak posted, a starting teacher makes 10.3k per month compared to the 22.5k that I started at.  The Thai teacher hourly wage is 54 baht per hour compared to my starting salary of 256 baht per hour--nearly 5 times a Thai teacher salary.',1,'203.170.221.16',1,'2010-07-02 07:21:46','2010-07-03 00:46:07'),(532,808,'Mark C Moran','mcjmoran@gmail.com','Chanthaburi','Quote ..

I realize that many of them are controversial and that you have received many angry emails.  \n\nCongratulations on your marriage to a Thai woman.  That you have been together for \"fifteen glorious years\" is proof that there are success stories out there.  I would love to hear more of these success stories.  They inspire me and give me hope. \n\nA couple of points about Thai men:  I find it interesting that it is Thai women who raise them without organization skills and the \'live for today\' mentality.  This upbringing is reinforced throughout their lives, yet when it comes to dating and marriage, these traits are wholeheartedly rejected by girlfriends and potential wives.  If Thai women want better Thai men, then they must begin looking into themselves and raise their sons better.\n\nThai women also possess the \'live for today\' mentality.  It is such an integral part of their culture along with \'mai pen rai\' and \'losing face.\'  In my conversations with others who have Thai wives, they also bring these traits into a marriage with a foreigner.  Eventually it tends to drive many of the foreigners crazy.\n\nAs for foreign men knowing how to treat Thai women better:  Perhaps at the beginning of the relationship when everything is still new and exciting.  But after a while the relationship/marriage ends up like most of the others.  (There\'s my cynicism again.  I\'d love to hear from others about this.)  \n\nWhat does a Thai woman mean by \"foreign man?\"  Or a farang?  A foreign man can be from anywhere outside Thailand.  Someone from America?  Europe?  Africa?  To a Thai they are all foreigners.  A Cambodian man is also a foreigner.  \n\nExcept for the bargirls, most Thai women have had limited experience when it comes to dating foreign men.  Because of this, it all comes down to experience and gossip.  One good experience with an British man and we are all good.  Conversely, one bad experience with a German man, and we are all bad.  \n\nThanks again, Phil and I look forward to the comments and the debate like I always do.\n\nSteve Schertzer',0,'203.144.144.164',1,'2010-07-04 07:53:59','2010-07-04 15:01:07'),(541,1803,'niels','x_p3@yahoo.com','Bangkok','I had a very encouraging experience after doing just what the article suggests and Phil echoes.I contacted him and was responded to very promptly when I couldn\'t get paid on time by a curricular activity academy due to no fault of my own- in fact had gone well beyond the extra mile and put up with a very demanding , low paying employer who would require unreasonable amounts of work at very short notice -for free.I contacted Phil/ ajarn.com about my situation and he said sometimes he would contact the advertiser.

In other words, before scientific enlightenment, the printing press, democracy and education systems that existed independently of the church, people were taught traditional morality and a number of other social edicts, or cultural truths – rules based on convention, not reason – that functioned to, in the cant of the day, ‘civilise’ them, or give society its exalted shape.\n\nIn Australia, for example, this situation persisted well into the 20th century. God, king/queen and country were the order of the day till well past mid-century, faith in these ‘pillars of society’ was explicitly taught via the education system until the 1970s (the end of ‘White Australia). It is only very recently we have seen any real emphasis placed on teaching Australian children how to arrive at their own truths via ‘critical thinking’, or via the scientific method, without ‘conditioning’ them with any pre-packaged truths – that is, without cramming ideas about what people should think down their necks. Clearly, this project is ongoing, the education system – particularly private education – remains an instrument for the dissemination of all sorts of propaganda, a mighty battle between science and the traditions of the feudal system is being fought as we speak.\n\nIn Thailand, promoting religion and the monarchy are still features of the national curriculum, they continue to precede the development of rational knowledge and thinking skills on the national agenda. As all teachers must know. As Tom is pointing out, morality remains a focus. So obviously, we have a situation here that invites comparisons to be drawn.\n\nAlso, many of the owners of those Master’s degrees did not do the work themselves.

You raise a good question:\n\n\"I’m not sure how English skills and ICT skills walk hand-in-hand to show that Thai school admins are deficient in the skills they need to manage a school.\"\n\nThese are skills that the Thai Ministry of Education has decided are important for school executives to be in possession of. But if course you could argue that other skills like leadership, participatory management, and organisational skills are, if not more important, certainly equally as important as IT and English.\n\nYou need to also remember that Thailand is undergoing major restructuring changes in line with the Second Educational Reforms (you can read about it in my article at ajarn.com and also for the English Language Gazette) with the stated aim of becoming a major educational hub in S. E. Asia.\n\nAdd to the fact that, only this week, it was reported Thailand is about to announce that English will soon become its official second language after Thai. You can read about it here: http://www.bangkokpost.com/life/education/185082/english-skills-receive-boost\n\nWhichever you decide using whatever criteria, my main point here is that \"morality training\" should not take the bulk of any funding when the money could be spent in a  much more appropriate and efficient way.\n\nbest\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-07-08 00:19:32','2010-07-08 11:43:08'),(559,1873,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Hi Chris,\n\nthanks for the history lesson ):): You clearly have a firm grasp of the origin of modern education.\n\n\"Education in Western society used to teach people the Bible, and the virtues of the monarchy...people were taught traditional morality and a number of other social edicts, or cultural truths – rules based on convention, not reason...\"\n\nYou just neatly summed up much of what happens in Thailand and has been for centuries. Implicit in the notion that \"morality\" play a major function (in Thai education) is also the notion that people should know how to behave especially where that behaviour means \"know thy place\" in the social fabric of Thailand.\n\nViewed this way, the ignoring of the other skills (IT and English) and the major focus on morality in their stead tells you that the powers-that-be are scared out of their wits that, with the increasing use of peer sites like YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace etc., the younger generation especially are growing up and seeing the unequal and unjust society that exists in Thailand, and how the social landscape is there to benefit a select few only - the so-called \"amata\".\n\nI fully agree with the following:\n\n\"In Thailand, promoting religion and the monarchy are still features of the national curriculum, they continue to precede the development of rational knowledge and thinking skills on the national agenda. As all teachers must know. As Tom is pointing out, morality remains a focus. So obviously, we have a situation here that invites comparisons to be drawn.\"\n\nYes, in other words, a certain blind devotion is encouraged even expected and anything that invites logical reason, the ability to think critically (e.g. about the (un)fairness of the society in which one lives) is avoided at all costs.\n\nThese ideas are even codified in the three colours of the Thai flag, each colour symbolising and indeed upholding this unequal system.\n\nAgain, spot on:\n\n\"Also, many of the owners of those Master’s degrees did not do the work themselves.

As you rightly point out, why should those hardworking bright, enthusiastic students have to be lorded over by cheating, incompetent, lazy poo yais who, when asked, are often proud that they cheated the system and gained masters and doctorates by dint of trickery?\n\nThere was a scandal here a few years back when it was discovered that about 30 well-known politicians had all bought their higher degrees prior to taking political office so this dynamic is not solely confined to heads in education.\n\nThanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-07-08 00:42:15','2010-07-08 11:43:08'),(560,1847,'Trevor','trevors001@hotmail.com','Pathumthani','Only one school I taught at asked us to do \'gate duty\'.

Christ, ask a Thai what he or she is doing at the weekend, and you\'ll get a blank quizzical look like you suddenly became the proverbial \"man on the moon\", so asking them what they would like to do or learn in a business English lesson is a bit like asking them what they would do if they became prime minister!\n\nThey see you as the leader and as such it\'s your job to decide all that kind of stuff anyway!

A polite, friendly word helps ease their nerves and relax a little which makes my job a lot easier.

I think this is true about the rural Thais.  \n\nI don\'t see any home economics (or shop or any vocational) classes in Thai K-12 schools.  There is no tracking, either (maybe for cultural reasons).  I\'ve heard a British commentator on education say it\'s as if we want every student to be a little professor - ain\'t going to happen. \n\nAs a result, my family members still buy bagged meals from their cousins and refuse to plan meals ahead of time (even though there are two refers in the house). Thai food means feresh(?), and fresh means no leftovers.  Very costly.\n\nAnd there are no middle class trades people, save a clever cousin or two. When a retired contractor friend was building his house, he told the Thai workers how he wanted the building constructed.  To his surprise the Thai workers said \"no\" and walked off the job.

I have been back in the UK for five years now following seven spent TEFLing in Bangkok - if memory serves, I think I did the first ever ajarn hotseat! I understand that sometimes life can get a little frustrating living and working in a foreign land and burn-out is a real threat, and yes, generally, the more flexible you are the better you get on. Whilst I now run a successful recruitment business in the UK and my Thai wife, once a teacher at ISB, is busy undoing all the stereotypes of Thai women people generally hold in the UK, and enjoying spending time with our children, we both miss Thailand and not a day goes by without some reference to it and when we might return there to live again. Part of this unbreakable connection with Thailand now and again manifests itself with a periodic logging on to ajarn.com. Despite the comings and goings of teachers and language schools (my own included), ajarn.com has remained constant for many years. I knew it even back when Ian was running the site and Phil was the Bangkok Mouth (apologies if you still are Phil!) and the forums were lit up with running battles over the usefulness of CELTA between the likes of myself and ajarn-ajahn. Indeed, ajarn.com is a part of the very fabric of the Thai TEFL scene and provides an invaluable service to school teachers and ultimately the students themselves and long may it continue to do so. Nice one Phil.',1,'94.5.203.21',1,'2010-07-14 06:14:05','2010-07-14 15:10:58'),(570,1873,'Tom Tuohy','Tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Hi Frank,\n\nI agree with a lot of your comments.\n\nI am assuming your reference to \"88 wasted years\" is to do with 1922 when the country adopted a constitutional monarchy. I agree that the idea that the \"Abhisit Vejjajiva, finally has a Primer Minister who fully intends to change the old, busted “software” of Chinese style education\". \n\nHowever, I have seen little evidence of any major changes to date and am becoming a little sceptical that they will indeed effect an tangible positive change in the long run.\n\nYes, it\'s true - the democrats \"ceding control of the lucrative “Grade A” ministries to coalition parties (i.e. Thaksin’s former buddies) in order to secure the Ministry of Education.\" \n\nBut again, what has come out of it? I didn\'t mention it in my article but 95% of those school executives failed those exams which is a shocking statistic in a supposedly modern state. Moreover, when the teachers were also tested, the following results were published. Here\'s an excerpt from my latest article from the ELG which will be published in their September issue (online and globally):\n\n\"This year saw testing among teachers at the senior high school level, but red flags began appearing immediately. With a pass mark of 59%, the vast majority of teachers failed their subjects miserably. According to the figures released by the Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC), as many as 88% of 3,973 teachers whose specialty is computer sciences failed the test. A similar fail rate could be found in biology (86% of 2,846), mathematics (84% of 5,498), physics (71% of 3,487), chemistry (64% of 3,088), astronomy and earth sciences (63% of 529).\"\n\nCan you believe on top of 95% of the headteachers  failing exams, we also had an incredibly high number of teachers as well, so what hope is there for the future of Thai education with such depressingly poor numbers? (If you want to read where I got these stats, here\'s The Bangkok Post link - http://www.bangkokpost.com/life/education/38353/teachers-fail-exams-on-own-subjects)\n\nAgain you are right about the way Thais buy their degrees - \"...as a newly-minted ‘Doctor Sue Parinya’ - as the expression goes for someone who paid for another person to do most of their coursework. Executive Summary anyone? CEO PM anyone?\" So again, I don\'t think a few years of Abhisit\'s family or the democrats led by the unbelievably honest Chuan Leekpai will be able to overthrow a system as corrupt as Thailand\'s.\n\nYes, I read the full page Learning Post interview with the Education Minister around last October.\n\n\"...2009 was the year for planning and 2010 the year for implementation of teacher retraining via distance learning. Teacher re-training...\" \n\nAnd what have we seen? I am the English Language Gazette\'s Thailand correspondent, and I write about Thai issues and I can tell you that I have written extensively on the Second Educational Reforms where little or nothing has changed and the same old tired people are dipping into the treasury pockets and pulling out a few million for themselves and their friends while kids in local Thai schools get little or no education from teachers and heads who are not making a difference in their lives when they are specifically employed to do so..\n\nThis is the 64-million dollar question:\n\n\"The question is how effective it will be, but even if it is only 50% successful, 50% of something is a lot better than 50% of nothing.\"\n\nYou are perhaps more optimistic than me. I see the change in the education system as a social one that will come from outside not from within the government. Social sites and peer to peer networks are getting people together like never before and sooner or later they will rise up like a phoenix from the ashes and take what\'s rightfully theirs. It\'s only a matter of time before there are major revolutions in the world\'s political systems, upheavals beyond our comprehension that will change the way we govern ourselves and are governed by others. Just my two cent\'s worth.\n\nThanks for your post\n\nTom',1,'203.144.144.164',1,'2010-07-14 22:48:14','2010-07-15 05:48:43'),(571,1873,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Hi Forrest,\n\nYes, I\'m currently teaching in Saudi, and yes, \"you’d be hard pressed to find an in-country forum to air your comments\". Having said that though, I would say that like many closed societies, Saudi is also bracing itself for major changes that are inevitable as in Iran and it\'s only a matter of time before something big happens there and the youth rise up against the muttawah (religious police) and other extreme religious clerics.\n\nI agree that you should be angry that you are unable to teach as I see little connection between age and bad teachers. In fact, there are many arguments to show that age merely increases knowledge of the subject and all the experience that obviously goes with that.\n\n\"I don’t see any home economics (or shop or any vocational) classes in Thai K-12 schools.  There is no tracking, either (maybe for cultural reasons).  I’ve heard a British commentator on education say it’s as if we want every student to be a little professor - ain’t going to happen.\"\n\nThis shows that the system is very \"top down\" and there is little or no education on how to manage one\'s own family finances as you say  - \"home economics\".\n\nAgain I agree with you here - \"There are reasons why Thailand is locked in the past that have nothing to do with English and IT.\" I believe I have mentioned some of them above.\n\n\"Saudis still cannot come to Thailand.  To be more accurate, they can come, but there will be repercussions when they get back.\"\n\nAnd this works both ways as my wife was refused a business visa to Saudi simply because she\'s Thai. All Thais have suffered a great deal since that case of the missing blue diamond where a Thai gardener stole it from a Saudi prince and has never been recovered. For me, this is yet another example where Thais are punished for the sake of a few greedy poo yais!\n\nThanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2010-07-14 23:08:46','2010-07-15 06:10:24'),(572,1819,'claire c. narag','nikbalking@yahoo.com','Pakchong,Nakonratchasima','It is inspiring indeed. we are never spared of trials and problems in life but if we only have the hope , faith and the will to go on  - that makes all the difference in the end.

The failure of Thai students to do well on tests in my experience had more to do with their lack of preparation and the difficulties within the tests themselves. Students are frequently given tests with elaborate instructions or poorly formulated questions that would baffle even the most advanced native speaker. Some important tests (CUTEP and other MOE tests)were obviously written by Thais who have learned English as a Second Language as the language patterns make poor or no sense in English. \n\nA crucial issue raised here is students\' preparation for testing. My students often did not understand test instructions and had no experience of basic test-taking skills like \"skim and scan.\" Critical thinking was a foreign concept to them. Most of my university English language majors when asked would report they had studied \"grammar\" for 15 years or more, but they claimed never to have heard of parts of speech, the basics of sentence structures, and could not use even simple punctuation. They had few tools for study and clearly did not know how to evaluate and improve their knowledge of a second language. Further, I have taught Thai teachers of English who had not acquired these basic tools, much less any of the skills that a one-month TEFL course could provide. \n\nI believe the point is well-taken that it is not the students\' fault that they do not do well on tests. Until their Thai teachers are given better training, Thai students will fail to measure up in their English and other foreign language skills (and other subjects as well).

So if a condo can be purchased NOW at a price where a rental fee is equal to, or greater than, the mortgage on that property (should there be one), then the price is right for buying. \n\nIf the cost of property is so inflated that a rental couldn\'t possibly cover the monthly mortgage fees, then now is perhaps not the right time to buy a property to sublet.\n\nWhen buying to rent, and that rent covers the mortgage, it\'s a safe investment. If property prices fall, this does not mean your rents will fall, it just means that new investors will buy cheaper and get a better return on their rents. The global trend is that rents increase over time, not decrease. The same can\'t be said for real estate investment, which can and does see ridiculous highs, and depressing lows over the years.\n\nNot everybody buys property, and not everybody wants to, but everyone has to live somewhere no matter what!  So providing a property purchase is in a good building, a convenient location, and is well maintained by both landlord and project management, then finding tenants should never be a issue for those savvy investors.\n\nI buy + You Rent  =  YOU buy for ME.   Of course, many people don’t purchase bricks and mortar as an investment, but merely as a home, somewhere to live. Buying a property outright (paid in full), to reside in as a home, means you\'ll always have somewhere to live come hell or high water! Unfortunately, the same can\'t be said for renting!\n\nBASIC NEEDS OF MAN!\n\nEven if your landlord\'s a lovely person, kind, compassionate, and cares deeply for his fellows, he\'s still in the business of making a buck to support his own survival and that of his family. This means he\'s gonna kick you out eventually should you not be able to pay the rent. So buying property is not always about a financial investment, but one of survival and security too. After all, shelter is one of the basic needs of mankind, yet not everyone has that luxury.\n\nThere will surely be a few reading this that would happily spend a few million down the Cowboy over the years, yet wouldn\'t dream of putting such cash into a condo of their own!!!\n\nAitch',1,'119.31.121.91',1,'2010-08-22 01:29:49','2010-08-22 09:24:06'),(657,2232,'Donald Patnaude','donald@ajarn-donald.com','Bangkok','Well this is a subject that I must agree with.

They\'re a pain in the bloody arse, what with their new-found morals on how disgusting and antisocial the habit of nicotine addiction is.  They quickly forget the days when they used to come out with their pathetic little requests such as:\n\n\"Is it okay if I smoke in your car?\" or, as they sit comfortably in someone else\'s living room, they chirp; \"you don\'t mind if I have a cigarette. Do you?\" But now, they are holier-than-thou, and many wouldn\'t even let you suck on a filtered Super king in their back yard!\n\nI\'ve quit for some 13 years, yet if it wasn\'t for health reasons, I\'d still be at it today. To be honest, I\'ve always found smokers friendlier, more outgoing, and more up for a laugh, compared to those who have never smoked, and especially those who used to smoke, the latter of which have become the bores of society!\n\nOkay, so smoking and smokers do pong a bit, and tobacco smoke does stain, plus it is harmful to health. No one is disputing those facts, and I agree that there should be allocated areas where smokers don\'t expose their burning leaves to others, but…\n\nFor crying out loud people, if the best smoker\'s rights a government can come up with are chilly shop doorways, back alleys, and unventilated rooms at airports and train stations, then what\'s the point of Sir Francis Drake\'s once popular import being a legal activity at all in 2010?\n\nHey, I\'d sooner smell the stale tobacco on someone who\'s just had a fag in the stairwell than the pungent stench of ole garlic breath, or the festering armpits of an eco fanatic who refuses to use deodorants based on some wacky belief that such products are depleting the ozone.\n\nAll this \'health\' concern about the dangers of smoking seems a little odd coming from those folks who fill their families\' bellies with junk food for years on end! Millions of people are digging their own graves with a knife & fork, and it\'s a fact that more people in the world die through gluttony than starvation, but still they think the gentle furl of lighted cigarette some distance away is putting their health at risk!!!\n\nYet despite it all, the non smokers of the world, be they beer drinking monsters, pot bellied burger fiends, or 2 car families who happily spew a trillion harmful chemicals into the streets with their SUV\'s and other such gas guzzlers, still scorn and criticise when they drive by a lone smoker having a few puffs of Marlborough Light, at the side of some breezy building!\n\nThere are so many restrictions on smokers these days that it\'s barely legal at all. I say outlaw tobacco when 2 vehicle Vince and his fat family start cycling and stop polluting! Oh, and why they\'re at it, perhaps they could stop supporting those burger joints too. \n\nDid you know that your McHabit  sees these conglomerates breeding so much cattle for their beef that bovine farts are polluting the air that we breathe way more than a zillion packet of Capstan Full Strength ever could!\n\nSo let\'s see less prejudice and more rights for smokers!\n\nAitch',1,'119.31.121.82',1,'2010-08-24 07:20:31','2010-08-24 15:26:46'),(661,582,'Nick','nickydunning@hotmail.com','Thailand','I didn\'t read all your post as it was very long, but I\'m assuming that you are talking about working in Government schools only.

All the segregation of minorities (race, religion, sexual orientation) are scorned and society has turned on smokers. Humphrey Bogart would be horrified. Smokers have fallen lower in stature than drug addicted prostitutes because they are allowed to hang out indoors. \n\nAnd I get it, I\'m not allowed to smoke on a plane. It\'s been over 15 years since we have been allowed to, so it\'s time to get rid of the non-smoking lights that never go off. In fact, inside some of the safety cards I noticed a no smoking sign above the picture of people in the crash position. I had to call the stewardess over and tell her to that if this scenario happens, sorry, I am lighting up. Fine me after we crash. And the last thing I will say about airplanes is that we are told that the washrooms are equipped with sensitive smoke detectors and the fine is $2000 and 2 years in jail. Then you go into the washroom and what do you find (on every commercial plane in the world)? An ashtray. I really think that someone is messing with me.

I\'m so honored to give you advice in your problem. As you were saying, the school has no permit to operate. That\'s perhaps the reason why you are not given the work permit. You see, when you apply for a work permit, you need the endorsement of the school and your papers. Even if your papers are complete if there is no endorsement from the school, you won\'t have it. I am not certain about this one, but a friend of mine once told me that for a school to ask for a work permit, this school has to have such and such number of Thai staff before employing foreign staff. It is costly indeed. That\'s why your school can\'t give you your work permit. Applying business permits especially for a school is difficult to get in this country as evidenced by a language center in Pak Kret where a New Zealander who has lived here for 50 years can\'t commcence the operation of his center due to the snail paced movement of his permit approval. Working in Thailand without a work permit is very risky. I\'ve reaqd in one of the blogs from ajarn before that working without permit is very risky.

I noticed you hadn\'t aged a day these past few years whereas I could have probably passed for your bleeding Father, and we\'re roughly the same age!\n\nIt\'s so true what you say about CM and the joy of exploring outside the tourist box. Surprisingly though, most don\'t venture too far away from the guide books and suggested activities found pinned to poster boards situated in reception areas of hotels and guest houses!  \n\nYour average visitor hangs out around the heavily polluted Thapae area or just inside the old city. They mostly do a jungle trek (or 2), and visit monkey schools, elephants farms, and snakes shows, as these poor creatures unhappily entertain their audience with some laborious tricks that their masters have taught them over time. \n\nI mean, c\'mon folks! Who really wants to see a Macaque monkey pushing an empty pram or riding a frigging mini tricycle round in circles dressed in a Yorkshire flat cap and a pair of Larry King braces!!!  I wouldn’t be surprised to see the poor little apes trained in topless pole dancing when the old performances start to get a bit stale!\n\nJoe Average tourist might even take a day trip to the zoo after being crammed into the rear of a pokey minibus for 3 consecutive day tours. There comes a time when the ole feet finally beckon some quality time on firm ground!  3,000 temples, and a couple of Northern tattoos later, and the tree-huggers head off on their merry way in search of a little extra spiritual experience in the purity of Pattaya City ;-)\n\nChiang Mai is no different to any other location in the world in that many of the best places to visit are those where very few tourists ever venture. \n\nI remember turning up at Cairo one night around 02:30 AM. Hadn\'t got a clue where I was going and had absolutely no idea where to stay.  Yet after trudging the dark and dangerous streets for a couple of hours with 30 Kg of crap on my back and an acoustic guitar in hand, I eventually found an idyllic old stone built hotel in some dimly lit back street. The area was almost in ruins from a previous earthquake, though the damaged buildings took nothing away from this exciting and enchanting, off-the-beaten-track, part of Egypt\'s capital.\n\nWhen venturing around Old Cairo and Islamic Cairo (which resembled towns stuck in the first century BC), I hardly saw another foreign face, and certainly no dreadlocks and lonely Planet\'s anywhere in sight! But then again, I\'ve never been on a package tour holiday in my life. Having a photo album with snapshots of say \'Tony and Joan\' from a 10 day trip to somewhere pleasant in 1983 just isn’t, nor will it ever be, my cup of tea!\n\nWith regards to CM, there is so much more to this old town and ancient province, it\'s quite sad that folks venture all the way up here only to take a few snapshots of old temples, a trip up the Doi Suthep, and indulge in a bowl of Khao Soi (Chiang Mai noodle soup), as recommended by the tour operators and friendly locals. A few other popular attractions are mini classes in Thai Massage or Thai Cooking courses.\n\nIt\'s a shame the monsoons were so frequent and persistent Phil, otherwise I could have taken you out a bit further afield and explored some real hidden treasures amid the jungle covered mountains.\n\nHeck. When I walk through the rainforests and navigate my way through trees, rocks and waterfalls at first light, I don\'t usually see another living soul until I get back to the road. It is then that I spot the cattle tourists sitting cheek to cheek in the back of a smoky old songthaew as they head off for a winding trek to the top of a mountain that could be strolled on foot and enjoyed in a little over 2 hours!\n\nIf tourists only want touristy things, then that\'s just fine and dandy, but if you want to take a little something extra home from your trip up north, then you might want to do a bit more research ahead of time.  A lame search for a centrally located hotel or guest house that has cable TV and a wireless internet facility, will give you an experience fitting to its services, which will be same, same everybody else!\n\nBtw, does anyone know where I can get a banana pancake somewhere near the Night Bazaar ;-)\n\nAitch',1,'119.31.121.76',1,'2010-09-02 05:16:30','2010-09-02 16:38:03'),(685,2200,'IRIS MAY','summer_mimzkie@yahoo.com','Bangkok, Thailand','Thank you so much for the information sir! :-)\nIt is such a great help! :-)',1,'58.11.94.193',1,'2010-09-03 02:06:08','2010-09-03 09:14:07'),(686,2297,'Thomas Stearns','auflos@yahoo.com','Winnemucca Nevada USa','Well said (written)!\nUpon returning from teaching in Thailand I noticed the hectic pace of life here in the USA.

I was teaching about 8 students total. How did I meet them?\n\n3 of my students were nurses at a local hospital. I met them while spending time there recovering from a motorbike accident.  One of them told me she wanted lessons and then she brought along some friends. I taught them twice a week for about 2 months. 2 of my privates were former students at a language school where I had previously worked. I taught them twice a week for about 6 weeks.\n\nThe next group I met while teaching at a university.  One of them was getting ready to move to the states so she wanted to brush up on her conversation.  She also brought along a friend. The last student I met at a bar. We struck up a conversation and she asked if I could teach her English.\n\nI would say the worst thing about teaching privates is the money, but that is my fault. I\'m too nice a guy to ask for anything more than 250 baht an hour. After browsing Ajarn and seeing most users said they ask for no less than 500 I felt pretty silly. The nurses I was teaching worked 12-16 hour shifts, 6 days a week and were paid peanuts. I just couldn\'t bring myself to ask for a lot of money from them.\n\nThe best thing about teaching privates is the freedom. Most of my students just wanted to learn conversation so it was extremely easy for me to prepare lessons.  Most of all of my lessons were spent just talking about random stuff (another reason I didn\'t charge a lot of $).\n\nThe other great things: no lesson plans, no shirt and tie, no waiting 4 weeks to get paid, etc. I usually had my students pay me at the end of the week, but they always wanted to pay after each lesson. I enjoyed teaching my privates.

It wasn\'t until I came to Asia that I began to hear about racism within Asia.  \n\nMy initial reaction was that this was the most ridiculous thing that I\'d heard.  Growing up in Australia most racism was just directed towards anyone that wasn\'t white.  All Asians were lumped into one category and I\'d developed a solidarity with other ethnic friends I had no matter where they came from just because we\'d all suffered the same mad prejudice.  \n\nThe funniest irony for me is that if Thais, Filipinos, Chinese, Vietnamese, Burmese or any other Asians had experienced racism where I did while growing up there would have certainly been no differentiation between their races towards the bullies.  It would have been equal opportunity bullying!\n\nOne positive that came out of growing up with racism is that I\'m unable to be racist towards other people.  I know what it feels like to be judged not on my merits or who I truly am but instead on some perceived fantasy of who I am.  \n\nRacism is caused by ignorance first and foremost.  When people gain the opportunity to understand another person through enough connection they will often come to see that this person is just like them.  In my turbulent teenage years I\'ve had people who were neo nazis come to connect with my enough that they dropped the madness and became good friends.  \n\nThere is still racism in Australia now and perhaps there always will be but I believe that as a whole the society is becoming a lot more integrated as it becomes a more multi-cultural place.  Perhaps this is the solution for Thailand too.  I believe it needs to start with laws against discrimination.  When the government allows discrimination in any form it is permission and endorsement to the people that this is the right way to go.  If the government reflects the wisdom and insight to recognize that all people within Thailand are due equal rights the people will first follow then gradually begin to see why they follow.  Through this real understanding will eventually come.

After bad experiences with the two schools that I have taught at here in BKK over the last three years, I have pondered a lot about the causes and why Thailand will never move forward in this world.\n  \nTwo of the biggest factors that jump out at me are (a) corruption and (b) in all levels of school management, most are only concerned with their self interests, not the interests of the students. Kids in Thailand are exposed to corruption early.  Corruption is in your face everywhere in Thai society.  They all know that money will be an easy way to get what you want and to get out of trouble. Often at the beginning or end of classes or outside of the classroom, I will overhear conversations from my secondary school students and casually inquire on things I hear. Only one of my male students had military duty.  When I asked the other male students why they did not have to do it, they smiled and casully said, \"money\". After hearing stories of a wild night out in some of Bangkok\'s discos, I ask \"I would think you are too young to be admitted into a disco\".  The immediate response, \"We just pay the security at the door\".  \n\nAs far as school management goes, I observe that most of them (not all) put their self interests FAR ABOVE the interests of the students. They only cater to the interests of the students if it does not conflict with their interests. Much of the management do not support the teacher in classroom discipline.  If a discipline issue is taken out of the classroom about brought to the attention of school management, they may look down upon the teacher because now the manager or supervisor\'s job is more difficult and also they do not want anything to possibly threaten the students enrollment numbers. Discipline is usually not a problem with Thai students.  They are generally much more respectful compared to their Western counterparts. \n\nHowever, if there is a discipline issue and managment sides with the student and parent, the kids learn about this and know they can get away with anything they want. Upper levels of management will also do anything they can to boost student enrollment and increase their salaries. At the international school I previously worked at, we admitted some students with serious learning disabilities and phsycological problems that we could not address in our program. We also admitted some students in our North American program (now called the International Diploma Program) who could not speak one bit of English.  In one case, we had a Thai student who lived in Japan almost all of his life, he could not speak English nor Thai! So other students could not even translate for him! All of these things are causes of students not getting the attention or education they need to be successful in the world.\n\nUnfortunately, doing what is easy and corruption prevail in Thai society. Unless this changes in this society, Thailand will be left behind.',1,'125.24.123.42',1,'2010-10-19 02:02:52','2010-10-19 09:29:30'),(785,2564,'Brian','brianquinby7346@yahoo.com','Bangkok','Everything you said is true but should we blame the kids?',0,'58.8.25.94',1,'2010-10-19 23:11:17','2010-10-20 06:26:15'),(786,1803,'PM','pmccarty32@hotmail.com','ISSAAN','What I see written here is perpetuation of \"non-confrontation\" a.k.a., ignoring reality when it comes to problems.

The only exceptions are to be found among those who have lived/studied abroad, and have shed their blinkers.\n\nTechnically, Thailand was never invaded (even though they welcomed the Japs in to avoid trouble). So, Thais are very inward-looking. They haven\'t had waves of immigrants (like Einstein), and most have never been further than the local town. Until King Chula 5 went to the UK and observed western ways, 98% were peasants and 2% were old feudal aristos or monks. Both ruled with a rod of iron. If you like, you can also say that the Americans brought about change in the 60s, when they \'rested\' here during Vietnam. In the 60s, many people were still in loincloths, and grew rice. Try to imagine a feudal country which suddenly gets hit with Hollywood, Hamburgers, Stockings, Big Cars. If you are a simple country lad, it\'s like arriving in Disneyland. You want some. Look at the glorious consumption culture now.\n\nThe other reasons are many. Thai society is stratified anyway. The rich aristo Thais look down on everyone. They live in an ivory tower of Mercedes and maids and Armani. They look down on the chinese, who are better at business and not as lazy (the \'bad\' word for chinese is jek--like chink). All of them in their turn look down on Issan people as peasant farmers and also on southern people because they are \'brown\' people. Everybody looks down on Laotian people, who are regarded as \'lower\' than even Issan people (with whom they 80% share a common language). If you observe closely, you will see that Thais treat eachother like excrement. If you are the junior maid or typist, your life is insufferable.\n\nThere are huge schisms in Thai society. People rarely strike up genuine new friendships on a train or at the gym. Your \'group\' is formed at primary school, and a sub-group maybe from high school. The group is all you need for friends, and you stick for life. Thai people are not \'socialised\'. They are polite, but do not cope well with new people, especially those from a \'different\' section of society.\n\nThe jury is still out on whether the word \"farang\" is derogatory. I believe it to be quite racist, because it is used to delineate, or distinguish between \'us and them\' by Thais. It is used quite openly--even my Thai partner sometimes refers to me as \'the farang\' when discussing me on the \'phone with friends. I think it is very impolite. If we lived in London or LA, I would use their name.\n\nWhite farang are a necessary evil. The presence of educated and highly intelligent whites (as teachers, hospital managers etc.) creates some kind of dissonance. Deep down, the Thais know that \"quality\" farangs (not the Nana/Cowboy drunks) are better educated and more switched on than they are, so we are tolerated, although the Thais are a bit scared. One manifestation of this is that, even in many top universities and schools, Thai teacher/managers do not consult with the farang staff..even those with MBAs and MEds and, more importantly, vast experience.\n\nThere is a dissonance created...something like a huge invisible chip on a Thai shoulder, which is especially pronounced if you are a big Thai fish in a small pond. You are used to having all you want from birth, with maids bowing to you. You ignore the unmentionable brown Thai people, you go to university, you get your Thai MA or PhD (which may be of dubious quality or totally edited for you because you pay). So, you have this perpetual huge idea that you are Hi-So or better than everyone else (although you will still grovel to higher aristos) After a time, you realise that the farang teacher, engineer or manager is often better educated than you, and certainly has more common sense and better day-to-day ability in the job than you. You know that you probably can\'t teach a language or run a business AS WELL AS the farang can. This makes you squirm inside (you were spoilt from birth and you went to Thammasat or Chula or ABAC). You squirm even more when you see that the farang is not interested in Louis Vuitton bags (a sign of your brains, wealth and superiority). Your brain starts to short-circuit. The farang doesn\'t appreciate how rich and clever you are and why people must bow down to you. You get resentful. You start to convince yourself that farangs are bad asses and snake heads (here for lust). It doesn\'t help that you were already brought up to loathe everyone else and to be as antisocial as possible, although you are a native of the Land of Smiles...so you are able to gleam when your picture is taken for the Bangkok Post cocktail party.\n\nWhere is all of this leading? Are Thais racist towards black people? Absolutely. They are \"racist\" to each other (if that makes sense), and certainly to white people. If you (thai) see a black man for the first time, you will freak. If you are poor, it will be like seeing a martian. If, on the other hand, you have crocodile skin shoes, then your automatic reaction will be to run home and plaster yourself with even more of that Clarins 3000 baht skin-whitening cream.

My eyes were also opened by the level of ignorance of this most common of ailments as none of the students were willing to help without me having to shout at them.\n\nThe second was only last semester when a student literally keeled over and hit his head on the floor while in conversation with me. As it was the start of a class, there were no other students there to help, so I got help next door from another teacher. It turns out that he had been walking around in the hot sun, with temperatures around 50+ degree and had a case of sunstroke.

There is just too much discrimination against Filipino teachers here. When I was looking for a job, I have experienced being rejected many times just because I\'m FILIPINO, and (according to them) it is ILLEGAL for a FILIPINO TEACHER to teach in Korea, which is not at all true. Nowadays, FILIPINO F21 VISA HOLDERS can teach English LEGALLY in Korea. My husband and I asked the Korean Immigration Office about this, and an official said that as long as you\'re holding an F21 VISA (visa given to a Korean spouse), you can work LEGALLY anywhere in Korea. I guess most hagwons just don\'t want to hire Filipino teachers because of that common misconception about Filipino English accent... but there are so many of us Filipino teachers here who can speak English LIKE A NATIVE SPEAKER and who are more experienced and dedicated educators. It makes me wonder sometimes, is it really just the accent that bothers hagwon wonjangnims (directors) or there is more prejudice against Filipinos? In most of the phone interviews I\'ve had, the employers sounded interested to hire me at first, and would even ask me to come to the hagwon for a face-to-face interview... until they ask me that \"dreadful\" question, \"Where are you from?\". When they find out I am from the Philippines, they would make up excuses like, \"I will call you back.\" or \"We don\'t hire Filipino teachers.\" There was even a time, the employer just hang up the phone the moment he heard, \"I\'m from the Philippines.\" (as if being a Filipino is a disease) One woman even told me, \"Sorry, you cannot teach in Korea because you are not a native speaker, but if I know somebody who needs a FILIPINO HELPER, I will let you know.\"  (I felt so humiliated thinking, \"Are we Filipinos perceived only as house helpers or factory workers?\") \n\nIn the first hagwon where I worked as a regular teacher, I was asked by my wonjangnim to pretend I was a Kyopo (a Korean born and raised in an English-speaking country), because she was afraid that if parents find out I\'m a Filipino, they would bombard the hagwon with complaints. I don\'t look like a Filipina, and my features are more similar to a Korean; I don\'t sound Filipino when I speak English, and my accent sounds more like an American... so it was easy to make the students, co-teachers (other than my wonjangnim and supervisor), and parents (of the students) believe I was a Kyopo... but my heart was screaming, and everyday I was asking myself why I had to feign  my identity like that. I couldn\'t take it anymore. Later, I decided to quit. My wonjangnim didn\'t want to let me go, and was offering me two jobs, but my PRIDE as a Filipino was more valuable than the salary I could get. \n\nNow I\'m looking for another teaching job, and it\'s the same struggle everyday. \n\nIt\'s unfair, not just to me but to fellow Filipino teachers who have so much to offer and yet never get the chance because of that one thing... we are FILIPINOS. \n\nTOTAL DISCRIMINATION...',1,'125.177.87.69',1,'2010-11-12 18:39:14','2010-11-13 08:24:09'),(833,2796,'Forrest Greenwood','Fgreenwood@Yahoo.com','Chong Khae, Thailand','We live in such a volatile age that saying the more things change, the more they will remain the same is no longer operative.

Because of this inherent difference of perception, the veneer of a westernized society is a good fit, but only as a veneer.  \n\nI personally believe that this is a good thing, and am probably in the minority, but, the lack of a goal oriented drive in favor of questioning something as straight forward and logical as a teacher working late at night after the rest of the university has gone home (I stayed into the wee hours every night for two years writing a novel) being seen as a ghost inhabiting that space that was inhabited by the person during the day, is seeming just superstition and irrational on its surface.  But, when attempted to be understood through Thai eyes (and I certainly, obviously, am not one of those who claim to be able to), the idea that in the shadowy period after dark that we all become ghosts of ourselves, is compelling.  The word for butterfly in Thai, after all, is pee-sua, or \"ghost shirt.\"\n\nThe Thais in spite of themselves and their superficial desire to embrace western ways are a poetic people, and, in the end, stewards of the land and time.  This makes them, in my estimation far more ironically \"advanced\" than people like the one who wrote the article above.

Do students have the right to choose their teacher? Yes, to a certain extent and provided that their chosen teacher isn\'t already teaching other students. One more consideration. Is it possible that the manager preferred another teacher because that person was employed on a full-time contract basis with a minimum guaranteed salary? If so, managers will of course make sure these FT teachers get enough hours to cover the minimum. Part-timers will come second. Makes sense financially if you ask me.\n\nBTW, I agree partly with the comment below, saying teaching shouldn\'t always be a popularity contest.

You have given me much needed insight into the world of TEFL in Thailand. Most of us would agree that racism is everywhere, however it doesn\'t mean that one needs to accept it and press on through it. Something has to be done on a global scale to address the issues we have with complexion. We are advised to simply set an example and affect a few by displaying a charming character? Well let\'s think of this, there are many impoverished/enslaved individuals in this world today displaying a charming character and it\'s not doing much for their situation. I love the fact that South Africans stood up for justice and there are many other instances throughout our world history demonstrating the need to stand up and disapprove of negative realities. Sure there are individuals in the world who do not judge people based on the color of their skin. However for the most part collectively and systematically we acknowledge complexion as a discerning trait for intelligence, capability, and behavior. So what that one thinks black is ugly and white is beautiful...it\'s an opinion..a prejudice. However when that opinion/prejudice determines whether I will receive an opportunity or not, then we are dealing with cold hearted racism. I don\'t think it\'s up to us to change individual opinions. I think it\'s up to use to challenge the systems and pave the way in other countries as we have in the western world.

Colours have no meaning in BKK however Chiang Mai...well here things turn out not go so smooth. Thai people(not all of them) thing by specific categories - foreigner teacher= white skin + blue eyes + blond hair.  I don\'t like this way of thinking but honestly...it saved me few times since I am not a native speaker. \n\nAbout Thai people and skin colour - it has nothing to do with racism!!! They just like bright skin because majority of Thais would love to be white themselves 555 So no worries! They no ideology behind that. I bet all of you teachers who live here long enough and spend free time with Thai people already knew about that. \nCalling Thai people racist is a colossal misunderstanding - they just like the way typical white boy/girl looks like...simple example: look at Thai pop-culture - all of it inspired by Korean pop music and movies.   \n\nFew words about Mark\'s response...I am fully aware of school\'s attitude and I really despise this. At same time I know my students\' opinion on that...Few students from Mattayom 2 told me that they\'d be simply afraid of  \'African-American teacher\' - I\'d tried to get more explanation on this one but I didn\'t get anything more. Then I asked my Thai girlfriend- what she thinks about having \"African-of any origin\" teacher - she said now it\'s be ok but at time when she was in high school she\'d be scared - funny isn\'t it? Have to admit that she comes from educated family and is Payap English major graduate - though her answer wasn\'t satisfactory enough. \n\n On racism in Thailand again - it\'s nothing compare to problems we have in Europe and what I remember from the past years. Here in Thailand I experienced racism few times but from certain group of people. Mainly Muslim owner of a restaurant and his family, they never wanted to serve me and when I finally I got there with my Thai friends I never got the food I ordered hehehe :) Well, I am not angry and I won\'t spread a word of hate here or anywhere else. I got used to situations like this in Europe and States. Can\'t be friends with everyone right?  \n\nJust be easygoing and smiled - Thai will like you but still expect gossip behind your back- that\'s the way they are hehe it\'s ok with me really. Summing up - are Thai people racist? Some of them for sure. Not all!!!!! They have expectations towards foreign teachers - not just about skin, also clothes ...tattoos are not welcome - I my self have so everyday have to cover them with long sleeves hehehe Is it racism I get from them? No!!! It\'s the way they expect me to be...IF I had a problem with this I\'d come back to my old job in Scotland.

The scenario you are painting is one that unfortunately represents the double edge of the internet and isn\'t restricted to the teaching game. \n\nOnce upon a time, the only outlet for an ad was the national press and the cost of those isn\'t cheap. The internet, whilst a marvellous thing has made it easy for these ambulance chasers. Now and again I will run a high level job ad in the Sunday Times and if the ad is client branded as is often the case, there is always an army of lesser recruiters trying to lob in their own candidates directly, despite having my contact details on the bottom. They are never successful because there are commercial Ts and Cs protecting us.\n\nThere is an answer to an extent but it involves work and blurring the boundaries, and that is to act as an intermediary for CVs i.e. the candidate sends their CV to an ajarn email and there is an understanding between client candidate and you that is the case. I rather suspect that verging on becoming an agency though is not your intention, and why should theft - because that\'s what it is - cause you to have to do that? On the other hand, it is another way for schools to measure exactly where their advertising dollars are best spent as there is little doubt that ajarn would once again come out on top.\n\nOf course ajarn has no paper monopoly but it does have one in reality because it commands lots of hard-won eyeballs and it does so with good reason - it is professionally and ethically maintained and adminstrated, contains by far and away the best content and was doing it long before anyone else. Ajarn has the respect of the TEFL profession both employer and employee side. People were trying to copy it 10 years ago but to no avail.\n\nThe sites you refer to are akin to those little birds which pick the scraps from the teeth of crocodiles, occasionally annoying but never a threat and sometimes even serve a purpose - in this case to further highlight and affirm the position of ajarn as being the number one site by a country mile. Making numerous legal challenges will probably be even more hassle than policing CVs. However, if the crocodile were to snap its jaws occasionally on one or two of these little birds that perhaps were venturing a little too deep and being a little too greedy, that might also send out a powerful message to the other little birds of a more timid disposition that it would be in their best interests to remain so, if you catch my drift ;)\n\nDave',0,'90.213.163.216',1,'2010-12-01 06:24:27','2010-12-01 14:13:04'),(868,2564,'Bruce McDonald','mysteryman7162@gmail.com','Chachoengsao','I left after two months.

It is wise to remember that in Thailand, about anything is negotiable. Image is of primary importance, and of course, once you lash out there is no turning back.

Seems to me that it is much the same here as it is elsewhere in Asia. Since I have been on both sides of the fence as an employee and employer, I have learned but one true thing. Teachers of any stripe whether they be the teachers this guy refers to \"hacks\" or certified teachers from the west, the majority of both are neither worth the salary they get paid. I think we all need to be somewhat realistic, it is easy to come to another country and get caught up and tangled in the mix of western and eastern clashes here. \n\nSure they have McDonald\'s and paved roads and 7-11s they speak some English and whatnot but, \"why can\'t they do things the way I want them done?!\" Because most of these places are third world countries. China regardless of the fact that cities like Shanghai put most western cities to shame with it\'s money, it is still a city in a third world country with a third world asian viewpoint. I see constant crying and bitching coming from westerners most of it from certified teachers about how horrible it is to teach here because the kids don\'t do what you want them to. If you want to call yourself a teacher than teach, be the kind of teacher that engages your students and makes them want to learn (or hand out another work sheet kids love that!), sarcasm aside, teach your students how to be citizens of the globe and while you\'re at it teach them some English and maybe if you\'re lucky some manners. They will be better off for it and so will you. \n\nConsider yourself the first line of offence in a world that doesn\'t make sense and try to be the kind of person and god forbid teacher who actually gives a damn about you\'re students. Now here is the kicker...Do not confuse your employer and your students as the same thing. You not getting paid or walking into a piss poor job that rips you off is no ones fault but your own and if you don\'t do the research or you don\'t bother to consider what working conditions you need to be happy and healthy then you deserve what you get. I spent years building an educational institute that worked with it\'s employees to give them what they needed (not wanted or demanded) but needed to get the job they were paid to do done in a professional and capable manner and still be happy. \n\nBut at the end of the day regardless of our track record western teachers working in the private sector of education end of going a bit crazy and acting in ways you might expect your you\'re younger students to act who had little group or social interaction with others before entering your class. It is the culture that gets you. It is the way the country and city is run. It is the fact that it is not your home and not your country and it will never be. This needs to be dealt with or you should leave. IF you are so rapped up in why something is this way or that, then you are most likely becoming a shame of a teacher and are doing more harm than good in the class. I have seen locals behaving in ridiculous ways making ridiculous choices (to me from my western viewpoint) to them it makes perfect sense. And sometimes you need to adjust your thinking and you might see the light in what they are doing and why it might work. Which is not to say there isn\'t some wretched managers and school owners out there (read above on how to avoid them). I don\'t even think we need to mention the horrid ways of westerners in regards to their sense of entitlement while living and working overseas. I\'ve fired people for things they never would have dreamt of doing back home in the work force but yet do so in Asia. Afterwards they cry bloody murder for being treated unfairly. \n\nOne such story involves a teacher looking at pornography on a school computer in a kindergarten or the teacher with stunning references (and yes they included both letters and phone calls to previous employers) who on his second day showed up reeking of whiskey and obviously drunk. I could go on endlessly about the shameless conduct of westerners but it would be pointless, kind of like this article. And I would like to mention before I sign off here, I have found as a manager that hired the foreign staff that the best teachers, the most successful, happiest, hardest working as well as the teachers with the best results (not just keep rates) but number of students who were happy to learn and excelled where those teachers who this guy considers the \"hacks\". Maybe it was because they had a better sense to not be so rigid in their expectations of what to expect in the classroom or maybe it was because they cared about their students enough to do a good job. \n\nThose that were let go or left on their own were more concerned with why they couldn\'t take two months off from their responsibilities or understand why we sent trainers in to give them extra support in the class (maybe because they weren\'t as capable as they thought). Regardless it was four \"hacks\" that helped take our school from one to seven and a public kindergarten in under six years. Oh! wait that\'s it! it is people who work hard, try their best to mesh with a local team as well as a diverse foreign staff and do what they are paid (and hopefully care about doing) and that is teaching. As an employer or an employee you need to care about the bottom line (not profits though in any business that is important) but education. This guy here, after trying to bribe his students with candy and a movie was \"shocked\" that his kids didn\'t want to finish their super awesome worksheets. \n\nYou don\'t need to bribe you\'re students to learn you need to involve them in what is being taught and challenge them. \"Rewards\" as I call them are just that, gifts for doing something well not for just doing something. \"Rewards can be candy but I find that a big high five, some encouragement and a big smile works better and lasts longer in regards to the students willingness and interest in learning. Sad that this has to be coming from an uncertified teacher but maybe you need to re-evaluate your career choice, just because you have are a certified teacher doesn\'t mean you can teach. \n\nThere are many people who go to school to learn business but they never do well in the field. You have a set of skills and ideas that you paid for and they gave you a piece of paper but that doesn\'t make you good at something it assists in preparing you for the real thing. What you do well can help define you and those around you, especially in education. But maybe we should leave the teaching of youth in our own counties to arrogant teachers so that they as their Thai peers can also enjoy and experience the joys of learning from a person so stunted in his outlook on others that we can insure a higher standard of ignorance in the next generation.

This is ajarn.com not wikileaks.  \n\nI am a 51 year old EFL teacher in Thailand who spends most of his weekends reading, watching FOX News, and blogging in his underpants.  Yes, I know that\'s way too much information, but do you feel better now?  I fully realize that I am a gnat who manages to upset a lot of people, but that\'s life.  Deal with it.\n\nThe way I see it is this:  Many people are upset with this blog for a few reasons.  I am revealing secrets, but they are secrets that just about everyone already knows; the foreigners, the Thais, the Koreans, and just about everyone else who has contact with EFL teachers in Asia.  Many of us are wackjobs.  Including me.  So I let that cat out of the bag.  So what?  The Thais know this.  \n\nWe don\'t like our secrets revealed.  I get it.  But that\'s a large part of what I do when I blog.  I also allowed my students to speak uncensored.  They found their voice, which is something I would think that educators everywhere would be celebrating. \n\nI know how important it is to maintain our illusions as foreigners that we are welcomed here and so well liked by the Thais.  And if many foreigners choose to live in that dream world, then so be it.  God bless you for it.  I simply choose not to live in the world of illusion.  I have become a stark realist, and the realism was clearly revealed in the writing of my students.   \n\nYes I know that there are some wonderful western men/Thai woman relationships.  I have said that in this blog.  Obviously many people chose to ignore that.  As far as debating the issue with the students, Thailand does not have a history or a tradition of public debate, so doing this is, in my opinion, a form of cultural imperialism.  Thais pride themselves on being non-confrontational, so putting them in a situation where they are forced to be confrontational would be irresponsible as an educator.  \n\nI do like John Penney\'s suggestion of a follow-up to this assignment.  I would like to hear more about this from John.  And if any other blogger out there would like to try this as a follow-up assignment, then please feel free.  \n\nIn closing, to call me dangerous because of my blogs is, to me, hilarious.  And if anyone has ever seen me, then you might agree.  I know it\'s not easy to listen to a 16 or 17 year old say that \"foreign men think that Thai girls are poor and stupid\", but if we choose not to listen to the students, in my opinion, we don\'t deserve to be here.   \n\nThanks again everyone for your opinions.',0,'223.206.237.248',1,'2010-12-11 18:27:00','2010-12-12 01:49:00'),(912,3092,'John','replyinkind@hotmail.com','Thailand','I think Steve has the idea that people are upset or don\'t like the content of his article because it reveals some kind of truth that those of us living in Thailand in relationships with Thais are trying to avoid.\n\nHe seems to think that his truth is the absolute truth and there is no other truth. Anyone who disagrees with him, including his students, is quoted as being uneducated, bigoted and/or ignorant.\n\nSteve writes in his comment - \"I know how important it is to maintain our illusions as foreigners that we are welcomed here and so well liked by the Thais.  And if many foreigners choose to live in that dream world, then so be it.\" How many foreign teachers is he insulting the intelligence of with that comment?\n\nHow Steve manages to form this opinion when he spends his weekends \"sitting in his underpants watching Fox news\" escapes me. His obvious reluctance to engage and participate in the activities of the school he works at is also indicative of his actual knowledge of Thai culture and its interaction with foreigners.\n\nHe says he asked permission from the student before he printed her image on the blog. I ask the question: Did she fully understand the nature of the article he was writing? I would doubt it as he himself states the low level of English ability of his students. Either way, at 16, it is ethically and legally the right thing to do to seek permission from the parents before using her image.\n\nHe excuses his not debating with his students by saying \"Thailand does not have a history or a tradition of public debate, so doing this is, in my opinion, a form of cultural imperialism.  Thais pride themselves on being non-confrontational, so putting them in a situation where they are forced to be confrontational would be irresponsible as an educator.\" In my opinion as an educator, a well organised and well run debate does not have to be confrontational.  \n\nI will always be interested in a well informed and well educated article no matter how much it differs to my own opinion. Steve’s article is not well informed or well educated. I find the underlying misogynist, puritanical and racist tone to be disturbing. And yes this kind of article will put \"bums on seats\" but that doesn\'t necessarily mean it should be published.\n\nI think Steve is dangerous, not because of what he blogs, but because of his behaviour and conduct in the classroom. His exploitation of these students and his disregard of teaching ethics are deplorable.  His dismissal of the student’s work that did not agree with his opinion and the high grading of the ones that did, regardless of the use of English or the content is corrupt. At the very beginning of the article he sates “many of the opinions my students shared unfortunately matched the biased, ignorant, and bigoted statements made incessantly by many Thai adults.” Is this the proper reaction to work submitted by a student?  Did the students that expressed this kind of opinion fail the assignment?\n\nYes, I am sure, as teachers we all like to stimulate our students and get them thinking but there are boundaries. Steve is an English teacher. Not a sociology teacher, a psychiatrist, a councillor or a social engineer trying to remake his students in his own inexperienced image.  It is not his job or place to “delve into the deep dark recesses of their minds” it’s his job to teach them the English skills they need to move into the future. \n\nMy last comment is to the owners of this website. Perhaps you should be wary about publishing any more of this man’s writing. Having read over his previous material I see a disturbing trend in the direction he writes.  Most of us that live in Thailand are aware of the negative and positive points of living in this country as, I am sure, we are aware of the negative and positive points of living in our own countries.  As a site designed for helping and advising teachers you are as responsible as Steve is for the negative effects of what he writes. Is this the kind of negative, biased, tunnel vision and unhelpful material you wish to promote? Will you be ready if the parents of this student want to know why you are using their child’s image in an article so negative about a country we are guests in?',1,'125.26.151.235',1,'2010-12-12 06:50:06','2010-12-12 14:23:19'),(913,3092,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','I think probably better if the photo of the student is removed from the article.',0,'124.121.220.157',1,'2010-12-12 07:27:16','2010-12-12 14:27:40'),(914,2564,'Kanadian','misnamiskita@hotmail.com','Jiangxi China','Germaine Ben-Dover, Stockholm -  I\'m sorry, Thailand is a WHAT ?  \"Thailand is a first rate country\" <-- yea that\'s your quote..

That must come from her parent or legal guardian. Did his school give permission for him to include a picture of a child in their care in an article that directly and indirectly speaks of prostitution?\n\nRegarding personal attacks, it seems to me that Steve has initiated a very subtle yet personal attack on this student in particular and Thai ladies in general. Is the owner/moderator of this site more concerned about readership that the well being of children in Thailand? This whole thing smells fishy to me. If I were her parent or guardian, I would be on the phone to my lawyer and get this self-admitted \'wackjob\' who sits around blogging about children whilst in his \'underwear\'  off this blog and, perhaps, out of this country. If this is his idea of a \'sacred trust\' it\'s neither \'sacred\' nor worthy of \'trust\'.

Wow. Now the cat is out of the bag. Fox is probably one of the most bigoted news channels in the world. I hope Steve doesn\'t actually like it, but just watches it only from a sociologist\'s point of view of trying to understand why there is so much narrow-mindedness on this channel, not to mention stereotypes and disrespect.\n\nPersonal tip to Steve: forget about follow up tasks for your students. Write about anything you want, but try to focus on the positive and leave xenophobia, personal attacks on colleagues and innocent school kids out of your ramblings.',0,'58.10.164.88',1,'2010-12-12 23:54:14','2010-12-13 06:59:02'),(917,835,'Anonymous','lukploy2009@hotmail.com','Bangkok, Thailand','To whom it may concern..\n\nFirst of all, I would like to say that I am not a native speaker, not an english teacher, and I have no attitudes at all toward any group of foreigners teaching english in Thailand. As I would say, my english is as bad as a 4 years old so please be fair here and please dont bother yourself trying to correct my grammartical error because you will find yourself busy with this thing here for days..^^\n\n As you said in your essay that you are a straight shooter, i would take it as an advantage to talk straight here too. I think your article is a very clear and concise one. I can imagine what you\'ve been through and all. It seems like you feel sorry for those filipino teachers around you, still I found some of your statement itself showing certain degree of racism and discrimination towards \"the object\" you\'ve been privately \"observed\" by walkin pass their classrooms while they were teaching.\n\nForgive me if I\'m wrong, but after I\'ve been reading through the essay I feel like you wrote this story with certain level of racism and attitude yourself. This is not what it called a straight-shooter though in my opinion. Take this for example, when you were talking about how the Thais were treated filipino teachers so badly, how the Thais were trying to put some pressures on those filipinos and all,etc., I know you were trying to stating the fact (accoring to you) but you have also need to be fair with these Thais and these schools you were talking about. I think this has a lot to do with cultural elements in your background and Thai background. It seems like you prefer to do it your way, in your opinion, according to you..just like the way you wrote this article..the world according to you indeed. But if you wanna try to be fair, these schools are doing their business as well as trying to teach these kids english. Filipinos or Native speakers will not be the core elements of this issues at all if what it matters the most is not because of the fact that you are ONE of the english teacher yourself (and I can tell from your writing that you also have certain level of attitudes toward your own colleagues too). I know that you only want to be fair, you want to make it all fair for any foreigners teaching english in Thailand, but have you every try a second read to your article? did you realize that it made up of all kinds of racism towards the soil you\'re working at and toward your own work mates?? If you do understand even a little things about culture, you would omit that all in your essay. This is a platform to discuss such topics I know, you want to tell the outside world and ask theire opinions I know, you only want to make it right as a teach I understand, but what about the school you\'re or have been working with..did you realize that they have to pay much for english teachers like yourself? are you trying to blame them because they pay the filipino less and pay you more? Business is business, it is also the way you change to place to place when the salary is higher. \n\n     I think your essay is out of unity. One minute you were talking like you are so sorry for the filipino while the next you were saying and blaming them how bad their english were and that you would not want them to lay their hands on your students ever after again. I feel like you\'re confusing yourself. there are parts where some comments you\'ve made sound contrasting to the earlier comments or the very next comments that actually follow. \n\n     If you want to write as a professional English teacher with moral then plese write while you are wide awake and beware of your attitudes. I know this is not an academic writing forum, but dont under estimate your audiences, how do they suppose to know about Thailand from your writing or your context? It does matter if those who read the article doesnt know Thailand at all or does not even know where it is in the world atlas as those people will get to learn about the Thais by your writing and all of the pictures you were trying to portray by your story is not exactly true. Next time please try to write without attitudes. Professional writers only write base on the fact, and like I said I am not an english teacher, my english is crap (if I could borrow your word), so I hope you dont mind having an english inproficiency person to comment on your highly grammatical correct essay.\n\nThank you for your attention..',1,'125.25.247.207',1,'2010-12-13 19:14:39','2010-12-14 02:43:13'),(918,12372,'Jonas Blume','jonaslblume@gmail.com','Chiang Mai','It\'s always refreshing to hear stories from people who took the red pill.

Now where\'s that credit card?\n\nWHAT’S ALL THIS CRAP GOT TO DO WITH TEACHER DATING IN THAILAND?\n\nSo along came niche dating, and like broad-based dating before it, this too soon became saturated and overwhelming by all the copycat sites that followed. This is why the relatively new sub-niche dating projects are doing so well of late. A tightly focussed dating sub-niche catering for the teaching expats of Thailand could well be a real winner if built right and promoted in the right way.

Here\'s my answer.\n\nFor your information, I know of two English projects in Nonthaburi that have  been successfully running their programs  for almost six years now. Actually, 85-90 % of their teachers  come from non -English speaking countries, but the teachers are hired because they have completed a Bachelor\'s Degree in Education either in Elementary or HIgh School. Some of them have related  degrees but they have earned at least 18 units in Education and have taught in Thailand for a number of years. Others are in the project because of their teaching experience here in Thailand as teachers from international schools in Bangkok or government schools in the provinces of Thailand. In other words, these teachers are full-fledged teachers in their own countries, experienced, passed the teachers\' board, have teaching licences, others are even university instructors. Also, there are  private agencies in bangkok, and there are so many of them, that recruit teachers from all nationalities as long as they are Teaching Degree holders.So, if you\'re interested to know more about jobs, visit ajarn.com for vacancies and who knows, you\'ll be able to find one.

Coming from a background where I was always told by my parents good manners cost nothing [I am 53, and brought when manners meant something] most Thais that walk around with a mobile phone constantly stuck to their ear, and walk into you looking at you because it is your fault and not theirs. Although as I said I do agree mostly about the piece, Thais could remember some of us get very annoyed by the lack of etiquette when using a mobile phone, this is really not a big deal to them, so if they want respect from us, myself primarily, remember a little bit of common sense goes a long way.\nLiving in Thailand to me has been and is still wonderful, but yes, maybe I should be more sympathetic to the natives even with their lack of good manners.

The local police are probably either in the mosque or drinking Turkish coffee in the station, certainly not on the roads where they should be. \n\nBut you also have to remember that these Saudi teens are often bored out of their skulls with religion thrown at them all day and every day, and then they go home and chat to some starlet in Nebraska on Facebook and only then do you start to see a whole new perspective opening up!! Its is a collision of two worlds that will find its apotheosis in a bellum omni contra omnes.\n\nYes, I agree with you thus:\n\n\"Maybe we sometimes expect too much you know, coming from England we have to pass a very stringent driving test, not mention the driving lessons that precede this test.\"\n\nMost Saudis probably buy their licences which is also often the case in Thailand too and which may explain why that 16/17-year old girl who caused the carnage on the Viphwadi Rangsit highway last week was in possession of a licence despite her age.\n\nThis is a good question:\n\n\"When do you think these countries will take driving seriously, and actually come up with feasible solutions to stop their subjects from needlessly killing themselves on the roads\".\n\nMy answer is probably never as it costs too much for them to police. You only have to look at the 358 road deaths in Thailand over the new year to see that little or nothing stops this kind of behaviour other than a major campaign from the government all year round. If I can invert a well known phrase, \"getting rid of a drunk driver is not just for Christmas, but forever!!\"\n\n\"I have just spent the New Year in Khon Kaen, the first thing I saw as we came out of the airport was a dead guy on the road, a motorcyclist of course, no helmet or anything.\" \n\nBeen in Thailand for over a decade and have lost count of the times I have personally seen that. After a while you become inured to it and feel numb like the terrible news stories you see of dying babies in Africa - sad but true!\n\nThe same problem owes it origin to religion here as well:\n\n\"I do despair of these people sometimes, but I think religion is always behind these things if they are led to believe they are bullet proof by wearing an amulet or some sort of charm, then fear is not in their minds, unlike ourselves, where death is life over, and not a new one beginning.\"\n\nWhat they share the Saudis and the Thais is this belief that Allah or Buddha is in control of their lives and ipso fact, their destiny. This is why they drive as they do with a careless, at times almost psychotic, faith in a divine savior.\n\nThanks for your post.\n\nTom',1,'188.248.222.24',1,'2011-01-07 01:03:33','2011-01-07 08:06:44'),(974,3634,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh, Saudia Arabia','Dan,\n\nGlad you enjoyed the article.\n\nYou said you \"... will be leaving for Thailand at the end of this month.\" Can I ask what brings you to the Kingdom?

Yet we continue to strive and improve though we realize that incidental failure is inevitable, but knowing that no life can be judged as a whole until it is done.\"\n\nYes, it\'s true that no life can be judged till it\'s over, but equally, it can be evaluated in the context of individual actions and what consequences end products are evident after they are completed (e.g. who was affected, how/in what way, and how it also impacts on ourselves as sentient beings). We can take a teleological perspective but only where it\'s grounded in the everyday world we have to deal with IMHO.\n\nCompletely agree with you here:\n\n\"Those that have this love/hate relationship with the Thai culture should be rightly scolded and also pitied for they truly have no port to call “home”.\"\n\nThese people are, for me, to be pitied. They are castaways in a sea of values and beliefs that belong to another time, culture or place.

Are you still teaching and, if so, where if I can ask?\n\n\"I’m amazed I lasted four years in teaching (I’ve found other work long since, what with the various ways you get screwed out of your rights/money. Schools operate a merry-go-round with teachers so they don’t work out the scam and start asking that their rights be observed.\" \n\nI\'m afraid far too many Thais see the education sector as purely a business and very little else. It is for them a  cash cow: something to be milked regularly and with very little money recycled back into the business. Teaching agencies are by far the worst for the way they treat teachers especially farang teachers.\n\nAs a caveat, I will say that I know of two fellow bloggers on this board who are involved in teaching agencies (a particular bete noir of mine!) but who do a good job of availing new teachers of the facts of the matter where new teaching jobs are concerned and the general pitfalls to be experienced once working in a Thai school or educational establishment. I think if we had more farang agency owners (not just managers) this would help to alleviate these kinds of problems.\n\nThe following is true but equally it also applies to the average Thai e.g. being kept at a safe distance by those with the clout and the power - the so-called poo yais and the amata (the Thai elite).\n\n\"We’re kept at a safe distance - not allowed to buy anything worthwhile, in the manner of a Thai. Paying ten times the entrance cost into various establishments - it’s all a form of aprtheid.

Honestly, my favorite part is your anecdote in the beginning.  I have been living in Thailand for three years and when my family first visited last year, my father was in awe of the general lawlessness and, counterintuitively,the  functionality.  He was amazed that in a country with no law enforcement and an obviously corrupt, ineffective legal system, life could go on without mass chaos.  He pointed to Africa and suggested that in lawless societies, Africa\'s situation tends to be more the norm.  South America, Africa, much of the Middle East, and Russia have tragic, destructive crime/murder rates.  I suppose for me that is the most amazing thing about Thailand: this kind of lawlessness breeds utter anarchy in most other countries in the world. \n\nI agree with Timbo that part of Thailand\'s charm is that you don\'t need a permit to breath on a public sidewalk, but you can find that in almost every other Asian country.  That was one of the most attractive things about Korea, where I lived for 1 year (and wish I still did; unfortunately, I met a girl...you know the story).  Thailand is unique in that the level of corruption and the \"mai pen rai\" attitude creates a mad fantasia of illicit activity.  The Thai legal reality always stands sharp clarity when I pass Soi Cowboy on a weekend and recall that prostitution is technically illegal in Thailand.  The fact is: legality is a meaningless concept in the Kingdom.  It can be seen at the core when the Abhisit Administration tries to allow the yellow-shirts to rally despite the State of Emergency stipulations (hats off to the Reds, who I in no way endorse, for at least calling them on that \"inconsistency\").  Happenings of that sort reveal a universe of corruption, exceptionalism, and brazeness whose extent cannot be fathomed.\n\nFor the record, I like Thailand\'s laid back approach (at times).  Security and safety, however, will continue to be dreams; this will eventually come back to haunt this country as other, more motivated ASEAN nations quickly fill the gaps that Thailand simply cannot.  As an American, it\'s certainly never boring to watch once great countries (for Thailand that\'s regionally) slip into benighted decadence.

About 5 months ago , I was travelling home from work on Chaeng Wattana freeway in my car. There was a brand new B.M.W still with a red plate in front of me. We were doing about 100 kilometer an hour. I dont know whether you have traveled on Chaeng wattana freeway , but, right after Chaeng wattana exit , the three lane freeway, merges and becomes double lane freeway and that is where Pathumthani begins. Any way , right before, the merge, the B.M.W in front of me slowed down to 60 kilometer an hour in the fast lane and in front of him was wide open with no cars in sight. So, I naturally applied my brake to slow down and I just gave him a short \" high beam \" to alert him that there are cars behind him , but, as I gave him that short \"HighBeam \' , he intentionally  slammed on his brake which obviously will have a domino effect on the cars behind him, I also slammed on my brake yet gentle enough not to let the car behind me rear end me. I didn\'t understand why he was doing all of these , I couldn\'t change my lane, because my lane was merging into another lane, so I honked my horn, next thing I saw , was a man on the passenger side of B.M.W bringing his head out facing backward ( facing me ) with a gun pointed at me and he just fired the gun. \n\nLuckily, neither me nor my car was hit, yes, he missed!. To cut the story short,I and my wife went to our local police department to file a report, they told us that since it happened on the freeway, we had to go to the station where the alleged crime happened. So, now, they are trying to figure out which police jurisdiction  that section of the freeway is. They gave us the name of that police station which was in Pakred district. We immediately  went to that police station and what I am about to tell you is even more frustrating than the actual shooting!. The watch commander explained the Thai law this way to us ; IF A MAN POINTS A GUN AT YOU AND SHOOTS AT YOU BUT HE MISSES, THEN HE CAN NOT BE CHARGED WITH THE ATTEMPTED MURDER!, ALL HE IS GONNA BE CHARGED WITH IS BRANDISHING A FIRE ARM AND FIRING IN PUBLIC WHICH BY THE LAW CAN BE FINED MAXIMUM 500 BAHT!, ANOTHER WORDS JUST A SLAP ON THE WRIST, AND THAT IS PROVIDING HE OWNED A GUN LEGALLY. HOWEVER, IF HE DIDN\'T OWN THE GUN LEGALLY,THEN, HE CAN ONLY BE ARRESTED FOR CARRING a GUN ILLEGALLY ,NOT FOR THE ATTEMPTED MURDER. \n\nI thought that he was just full of it and it is only the law for \" Farang\" but he even gave us an example that few years back, a police officer gets in to a fight with some body in a bar and shoots him dead, then , when other police officers arrived , he claimed that some body took the gun out of his holster and shot the man and ran out of the bar and he was able to walk. If you have been following recent shootings on T.V, the reason the police got involved was because some body died as the result of the shooting , but, if there is no injury or death, they will not go after it!!!.

But it depends how far you wish to take it. I am loathe to let these MFr\'s get away with it.

If that does not work you can a little more vocal with him. \n\nI worked in Samut Prakan with 15 other Phillipino\'s who were treated like sh*t at their school. I was the only one to stand up to them and was fired 6 weeks later, not before I had my say though. I used to type letters and put them on their desk (or the manager\'s desk). That way they could read it and save face (or some face). Once they told us we were going to have a meeting on Saturday.. did not ask, just informed us.

If they have a choice between children\'s education or making money they go for the latter. They introduce the most stupid and ridiculous cost saving measures which are conterproductive to children\'s edcuation.

In most places they are too tight to provide it because quite simply this is about the bottom line and nothing about education. All show and very very little substance.

Why should education be different...?? \n\nIf they are doing this get out. try to get your money and learn from your mistakes.

I just want to throw a couple of ingredients into the pot. I have been married to my Thai wife for 6 years now and it has been a learning experience. I think we have a couple of important things going for us. One is that we are close in age and another is we have the same level of education. \nI will vouch for the veracity of the comment about jealousy. My wife is always having dreams that I am with other women and she gets mad at me even though I have never cheated on her in real life. It used to bother me a lot but a friend said he has the same experience with his Thai wife and they have been married for almost 40 years.\nThe other point I wanted to bring up is the other side of the coin in the blog. I dare say that there are many more Thai wives who have seen their husbands run off with a younger woman than husbands who have been offed by their wives. Although not as dreadful a fate it cannot be a good experience to devote your life to your husband and children only to have him desert you when you are older for nothing more than the taste of youth. My wife is always telling me the stories she reads in Thai magazines about woman who have had that experience. Her family also warns her not to let me come to Thailand alone because I would be stolen away by a young girl. It seems all the members of her family know someone who has had this experience or perhaps they just read the same articles as my wife.\nThat\'s all except thanks for pointing out the danger of the phrase \'up to you\'.

What I saw over the years in Thailand though were a number of older teachers who had, over the years, gained a lot of experience but somehow lost their love of teaching along the way and had failed to realise it or, if they had, they were often in denial about it. But this much was clear from the way they conducted their lessons - well structured, linguistically meaningful sessions, as their experience would suggest, but conducted on auto-pilot -  as well as their general conversation relating to their profession which lacked passion or was even downright negative. Students and collegues pick up on this and often, no-doubt unfairly so as regards well qualified, experienced older teachers, this leads to the hiring manager not wanting to make the same \"mistake\" twice. This is like any hiring situation - it\'s risk management and the perception of risk is often rooted in past experiences, whether the fundamentals upon which this belief system is underpinned by are real or imagined.\n\nLet\'s also remember that it\'s all very well comparing a 20-year old layabout to a 50-year old with a degree in education but I also encountered a lot of 50-year olds without a degree in education - or a valid TEFL qualification for that matter. Indeed, I remember one such 50-year old criticising me to my colleagues behind my back because I had chosen to go and get my CELTA. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the older teachers saw less value in professional development and had a track record that struggled to point to any - afterall, they are native speakers - what possible benefit could they have gotten from a TEFL course? Also, a lot of older teachers wouldn\'t teach if they could get away with it. This, I find is less pronounced in younger teachers, who are still enjoying finding their way in life and collecting experiences - not a bad thing as long as they are doing so in a way that facilitates their learners\' development.\n\nI also encountered seasoned teachers but their enthusiam had gone or they were wanting to slow down. Trouble is, your audience doesn\'t get old with you - it rejuvenates on an annual basis and is always going to be 10 years old or whatever age group you teach. So whilst that combination of qualified, incredibly experienced and enthusiastic does exist - it is less common than you might think.\n\nDavid',0,'94.0.183.53',1,'2011-02-10 13:36:13','2011-02-11 00:45:12'),(1095,3875,'John','jhnburgin@yahoo.ca','Lampang','I worked two years ago for an agency out of Petchaburi.

It helped that I was (and am) teaching at a prestigious language school in San Francisco.  I think if you come off as intelligent and sensible, with a spark of something other than self pity or whatever I\'m picking up from comments above, then someone will pay attention to you.  Some people are just not suited to teaching, young or old.  I\'d say most people really, if the truth is known.  In Thailand, they do like the pretty people, youthful, exuberant - who can blame them?  However, I taught literature, English literature, at a university in Thailand from 2004 to 2007, at the ages of 51 to 54, and we did Beowulf to the American novel Grendel, as well as T.S. Eliot, Shelly (Ozymandias) and others, and my students were really involved.  I did dramatic readings of poems and Shakespeare, and we analyzed what was going on in works line to line, sentence to sentence.  They were rapt.  Naturally not all of them, but a significant portion of them in classes of thirty and more.  Anyway, I met some of the people who claimed to be teachers, both young and old, interviewing at Khon Kaen when another position opened up while I was there, and they sent shivers down my spine.  A teacher, unfortunately, is often looked on as some kind of reject in other areas, when in fact, when I see a teacher I generally know one.  It\'s kind of like if I\'m expecting a surgeon to walk into a room and some guy walks in bleary eyed and kind of slow on the uptake carrying around some kind of attitude with him, or, he looks like and acts like somebody\'s grandfather.

However, higher ups sometime use the “observation” to get rid of the teachers they don’t like by failing them in the evaluation, obviously, very subjective on their conducted observation. Thus, the result is not satisfactory and not even feasible coz it turns out as a plot contrivance to pin down a teacher that doesn’t agree with admin. daft policy…\nAnnounce and un announce observation always goes together since it is a process where teachers are weigh on the degree of their improvement and consistency in teaching. What’s important to both is how a teacher handle himself when incidental learning arises, in which, it mostly happens during class time.  The observer is practically keen on that scenario evaluating teacher’s efficiency and affectivity when lesson was not included in L.P but draw out significantly by student/s. \n \nIf I ask the same question...my answer would be simple..\n\"When I\'ll be observed by my principal or academic supervisor\" I\'ll be honor to have them in my class.

Older teachers have more knowledge of the tricks of the trade and therefore are not as easily duped or manipulated. All teachers in Thailand should be required to read the extensive descriptions of Thai education on stickman.com (these descriptions truly reveal the state of life as a teacher in Thailand). \n\nOnce you\'ve taught in Thailand for a few years you can see that generally the Thais are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole: they are trying to use their traditional Chinese/Buddhist system of teaching (which is infused with Confucian principles such as \"Copy the Master\") which flouts the rules of the language as far as academic honesty and plagiarism go. However, the Thai national teachers are trained in this system so they cannot really write with any proficiency nor can they speak (hence the need for Farang). It is a political battle because the Thai national teachers are desperate to keep their jobs even though they don\'t have the skills that the Farang do in terms of speaking and writing and teaching thinking. \n\nIn addition, no one seems to want to take on the task of properly integrating the Farang into the system using team-teaching in alternate classes, for example, despite the successful models in both Japan and South Korea (I realize that these cultures are different from Thai culture but the idea is that Thai National teachers can teach grammar/structure and the Farang teachers can teach function/speaking). So, once the older teachers see the situation for what it is, their enthusiasm can become blunted because they know that they are a threat to their colleagues and no one is taking the lead in bridging that cultural divide. \n\nYounger teachers are naturally more inclined to put up with the nonsense because they either are serious teachers (and will probably continue their careers in other locales) or caring but not so serious teachers who probably are happy as long as they get their weekends in Koh Samet. The other trend that seems to be taking hold is the recruitment of Filipino and Filipina teachers who regard the salaries and opportunities here as godsends and are equally malleable to the needs of an extremely politicized educational system.

This of course is due to the Theravada form of Buddhism that 96% of the country practices and believes in. They believe  that our souls are reincarnated many hundreds of times until we can reach Nirvana (an enlightened state) and finally \"get it right\". The Thai people believe that if you don\'t get it right in this lifetime you\'ll get in the next just like the famous western saying \"why do today what you can put off until tomorrow\" \n\nAll you people who don\'t like it too bad! Go back to your own shit hole of westernized industrial, chemical treated country that you came from. You go to Thailand and try to change it and \"get it up to international standards\"  who the :::: are you (in plain English) The Thai people have lineage older than most countries with sophisticated bronze works and Ban Chiang pottery with elaborate designs. \n\nThink deep into your hearts, you love Thailand because Tahm Mai (why)?  For me its such a different planet, I mean it was one of the only countries in the world that was never invaded and occupied especially by colonial powers (England, France and Spain) and because of this they don\'t  particularly  care to learn your western trash language that has pieces of different languages mixed into it and is pretty much a contaminated language. \n\nSo just remember sometimes Not Losing Face is a smart confidence builder, if you fail the kid even on a test the kid is not going to like you or English and will probably never learn very much of it. So reenforce the fun of learning not whether or not the kid is up to par thats western thinking. \n\nThai people want to have professionals but only the upper class is allowed to have those opportunities and from those people the most intelligent and gifted rise to the top and go work in BKK. Thai people will never speak like other countries because they are Thai and the weird things they do and certain ways their society is constructed is the reason we all love Thailand.

The Thai staff are just treated like sh*t, for low money and minimal wages and expected to go around scraping and doing whatever is expected of them. Truth is the bosses who are slave drivers here. As they jet around in their fancy cars most of them do minimal work and expect everyone else to work a minimum of 12 hours a day. Added to this, many private schools have cost cutting which is beyond reason. Yesterday I had a problem getting - wait for it - 3 pages photocopied. If i took it to a photocopy shop I could have got it done for 3 baht - 10 American cents. It was marks for the my class for the end of the year. If I do more than 20 copies I can get them done for 40 satang a page. I am so sick of working for schools whose only concern is the bottom line and hardly anything is about education. But hopefully we learn and move onto better things. That is what I am trying to do now. \n\nMost agencies do things illegally and do not get work permits for the teachers. So why do schools use them? - I am convinced because they give the schools and directors kick backs. I got offered a job with my old school because they wanted me back. When I told them how much I wanted including a work permit, I am now told that they want me to teach wait for it - 6 subjects next year across 3 or 4 levels. And they want me to go through the agency. Why the agency because they say they are good. I know the reason is that is the way they can get kickbacks and money in their pockets. It is shame that so much about education in this country has to do with money. We all like money and maybe Thai teachers are paid too little but I cannot see how this gives license for corruption on the scale I see today. \n\nAs long as they pay me for the work done I am relatively ok with it because I know that the contracts are not worth the paper they are written on here by anyone or most of the schools in this country. To get someone to honour their word is a rarity indeed. Ironic in a country that pride\'s itself as Buddhist which goes against the heart of Buddhism.\n\nPhil says - \"Most agencies do things illegally and do not get work permits for the teachers\" That\'s a very very bold statement. I bet you haven\'t got any figures to back that up have you? But yes, part and parcel of an agent getting a contract with a school sometimes depends on what the agent can buy for them (new computers, new books, etc) That\'s certainly the way the system works here.',0,'124.122.103.30',1,'2011-02-27 01:45:25','2011-02-27 09:30:19'),(1140,3875,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','Please don\'t send \'teacher nightmare\' stories that are littered with references to individuals and schools.

This is always a good topic. I think any teacher feels more confident if they have a range of ice breakers and lesson warmers up their sleeve.\n\nI think some of your ideas above need a lot more explanation and description though. For example\n\"Here the teacher may come into the class in a certain costume say, a clown, a chef, a patient, or whatever and the ball starts rolling\"\n\nOK, I can see the class getting a laugh out of it - but where does it go from there? If the class are meant to ask the teacher questions based on the teacher\'s appearance, are they fed those questions in advance? See what I mean?\n\n\"Here the students ask either who, what, when, where, why, or how questions which can be answered by fellow student and so on and so forth\"\n\nYes, but how do you organise it? That\'s always the hard part. Is this a pair activity or group work or what? The first instruction a teacher needs is - \"organise your students into pairs or rows or small groups or teams of five, etc\"\n\n\"Free Conversation - This is one of my favorite class starters for higher level classes especially those classes that have students who can express their thoughts and ideas already. It is simply done by starting a question that will lead to more questions that are relevant or somewhat relevant to the topic and require opinion or just anything a student can say. It may last from 5-10 minutes depending on how interesting the topic is\"\n\nYou\'re a braver man than I am Ben. I think if there is an activity that rarely works then it\'s \'free conversation\' - even at advanced levels.

Of course, the students will be surpised and ask questions about me. In turn, I answer .When they run out of questions, I ask them too.\n\nWH Time - On a particular time, I use any of the \"WH\" questions. As the students and I are seated in a circle,  I initiate the discussion by asking a \"specific\" \"WH\" question.The person opposite to me answers. When his/her  turn is done, he/she asks also  the student seated opposite him/her. Questioning and answering  continues until everybody  has participated. I find this activity good for 10-15 students. If used for bigger groups, facilitators are needed.\n\nFree Conversation - My \"free conversation\" class is  usually facilitated by me. Students respond (especially mathayom classes)  because we discuss about what they experience. For instance, after Songkran. I ask one student at a time, ask another, and more. Through good questioning students answer. At times, rephrasing of questions help.

Out of the twelve teachers in the English department only two of us have been honest about our not returning next year, while some of the others are just not going to turn up. \n\nThis notification came two weeks after an English department meeting stating she will keep us on till the end of the school term, as per our contract.  When she was reminded of this by the English dept heads she said I don\'t care and I will not argue about this. Her dictator style has many of the Thai teachers fearful as she already deducts money from their wages without their consent, and any objections are met with less than reasonable and justified outcomes. \n\nWe had already been given summer school schedules and other work to do over the last weeks, prior to this decision. She also wants to have us hand in our work permit before she will pay any outstanding salary.  She will not meet with us, and has conveniently left this decision until she was going away on a trip so not contactable.

It\'s not just towards blacks, but other darker skin Asians as well.  I could never imagine a lynch mob mentality or even an attitude that leads to overt violence towards Africans, but rather, the racism manifests itself in ignorant opinions and attitudes towards black Americans/Europeans/Africans.  \n\nI would like to address the idea that whites are spreading these rumors about Thais--I have seen absolutely no evidence of this.  Moreover, I have seen several whites try and counter the racial attitudes of Thais on many, many occasions.  I would imagine such ideas are mere conjecture and themselves racially suspect. I have yet to see a white person in Thailand say one negative thing about blacks; however, I\'ve seen whites even commend Guinean students for being superb with their English and studying skills.  I myself, have tried to to combat the racist attitudes of several Thais I\'ve spoken to.\n\nThese attitudes do not stem from some deep seated fear \"of a black planet\" or being overthrown by blacks, such as I\'ve seen in the USA by racist whites, but merely from the fact that Thais are often surface level thinkers.  Their education system doesn\'t not teach them to develop critical thinking skills, and they far too often don\'t question or contradict authority or what is told to them.  I have never had a student adequately express to me what it is that makes them proud to be a Thai citizen that goes deeper than, \"Thais like to smile\" or \"We have delicious food like Som Tum\"....I\'m not joking.  It\'s very surface level here.  So, the form of racism that they express never goes deeper than not liking skin color, appearance, or what they perceive as rude behavior.  \n\nIt will say that some Thais quote stuff they\'ve seen in movies and American media when expressing their racism. The Rap industry is a HUGE component of some of the things these kids reference...shocking but true.  Again, surface level thinking.\n\nBut the last thing I want to say is that I\'ve seen a few Black Americans and Black Africans who seem to enjoy themselves here in the BKK, and don\'t seem to fuss much about racism. THey even have Thai friends.  I know 2 of them personally, and though we never bring up racism as a subject, they appear to get along just find in Thailand and love it.  I will note that these folks are a joy to be around and quite friendly, so I think they really made an effort.  It probably helps them that so many upper level managers here are Western or Indian--if it were just Thais, they might be whistling a different tune.\n\nI love it here, but I\'m a Luk Krueng (half Thai/Half white)--that sort of puts me on top of the totem pole.',0,'168.120.4.203',1,'2011-03-12 00:59:57','2011-03-12 08:02:08'),(1190,3875,'Kanadian','misnamiskita@hotmail.com','Jiangxi       China','By Kiwibees - sounds like a place to avoid !

They are noisy and demanding in class, they are motivated by the subject matter and they always get new language and a bit of correction every lesson. But they are hard work because they are so noisy and boisterous. Classroom management was exhausting me to the point where I snapped a week ago when two dominant members of the class proceeded with a conversation in Spanish while the rest of the class had to sit and wait. I told them unequivocally that if they wanted to speak spanish they could do so after class, because it is disrespectful to the rest of the group who should be able to get on with the lesson. Since then I have had complaints about starting on time, about my attitude, about how I don\'t correct them, about how I don\'t teach enough pronunciation, and even that my classes are missing some kind of magical Xfactor quality. Utter rubbish. This, despite the fact that I went through with them how I was sorry to have been angry, and that the reason was because I care about their learning. I told them that I loved teaching them, that I thought that as a group we had great energy and worked well together and that I appreciate and respect every one of them. No effect.

I sometimes think that is the way to go. \n\nIn my school they change terms and conditions all the time.

Perhaps this is because they people who are naturally good at resume writing already have a job and do not realize how hard it is for others to write one.

I can give a very recent example that just occured at the end of the school year. I had helped the head teacher of the English language department (a very nice and quite responsible woman) with something on one of the office\'s desktop computers and when we\'d tried to print out the results the ink was low in the office printer and we couldn\'t get a copy. She was frustrated and said that she was going to get the ink renewed right away so that she or any of the other teachers in our office wouldn\'t have the same thing happen again. \n\nAbout a week later during final exams, I needed to print some song lyrics out to read to a couple of my students for listening tests. After getting them written out in Microsoft Word, I sent them to the printer only to have pages streaked with faint grey lines come out because the printer ink had not yet been renewed. I was meeting with my students in five minutes and so didn\'t even have time to write out the lyrics to speak to them. So, presto, now the students sat in the teacher\'s office and listened to the song played through the desktop\'s speakers for their listening test, which, though not an ideal testing environment (our office houses eight teachers and a constant ebb and flow of countless, noisy students) was an acceptaable alternative given the situation. \n\nThe head teacher, as I said, is a nice woman and a responsible professional and this did help the situation as I knew she hadn\'t been careless, but probably had just forgotten with all the things she has to do. So it would have suceeded only in creating negative feelings between us, and perhaps myself and the other Thai teachers as well, for me to confront her over why the printer task hadn\'t been completed, and I am a big believer in the importance of a positive emotional atmosphere in the place where you spend so much of every weekday. Although it was bit hectic the way it happened, all got completed in the end and because I did not make an issue out of it good feelings still abound in our office now and for use the next time (and there will be a next time) such challenging circumstances arise.',0,'58.8.33.103',1,'2011-03-15 09:41:13','2011-03-16 04:44:37'),(1201,168,'abel','etuc_cute666@yahoo.com','rodriguez, rizal','although i\'m still a education student, i am sad to hear such news like this. thanks for blogging this SIr',0,'112.198.64.7',1,'2011-03-16 10:13:39','2011-03-17 01:08:42'),(1202,12374,'Chaz','chirag.chavda@yahoo.co.uk','Chiangmai','Hi John it\'s great to see that a foreigner living in Thailand appreciates and respects not only the Thai aspects of Chiangmai but also the foreign aspects of it, specifically in this case the historical British component.

I\'ll touch on only two issues and leave the rest in the dust bin.\n\nGiving students an \"F\" grade.\n\nFailing young students, especially those in prathom and mathaiyom, is simply a poor strategy. Extensive research has been done in this area and it clearly indicates that there are numerous negative emotional consequences to failing a child and holding them back a grade while their peers move forward. Additionally, there are virtually no academic benefits that result from keeping a child back a grade level. Hayhurst (2007) notes, \"Leaders in the education community cite definitive research that shows failing struggling students in elementary school provides no academic advantages; researchers in the 1930s first reported negative effects of retention on achievement. Meanwhile, many studies show an association between retention and dropping out of school.\" I can go on and on with citations to substantiate the point, but I think you get the picture.\n\nFurthermore, is it really a critical issue that all Thai students develop competency in English language skills? Regardless of the lofty ideals of the MOE\'s Key Stage and General Stage Curriculum Outcomes, the fact is few Thais will ever really need to have command of English in order to succeed in life. Sure, those who are motivated enough to want to excel in the language, or those who have a God-given talent for language acquisition, may very well end up with better employment or educational opportunities in their lives. But at the end of the day those who do not gain competency in English during their younger years can endeavour to do so later in life once they gain the motivation to do so. The door is never closed on learning. \n\nAs educators we must endeavour to nurture all aspects of a child\'s development. We must focus on their strengths and ensure that they excel in these areas. In areas where they are weak, we must provide educational support mechanisms such as peer grouping and employ teaching strategies such as Piaget\'s and Vygotsky\'s \"Social Constructivism\" which allows for students to gain competency and skills through group learning. Failing students is simply not the answer here.  \n\nESL Industry Failings\n\nWithout a doubt the ESL industry around the world is primarily a scam that is governed by unscrupulous business people that rarely have any pedagogical knowledge or academic backgrounds in the field of education. Worse yet, are those with the actual pedagogical training and educational qualifications who choose to employ their expertise for monetary gain without actually delivering the quality education they all-too-often proclaim to offer. Academic pursuits that are not rooted in altruistic values of dedication to student learning are simply immoral and unethical. \n\nApart from the heinous acts of the so-called language institutes and school administrators that see English as an easy \"cash cow,\" the other side of this industry that is acting completely irresponsible are the pseudo wannabe pretend English teachers that are using this industry as a tool to earn fast and easy money so they can travel the globe. Real educators take upon themselves a huge responsibility when they take a child into their care. Those of you who are in the ESL industry, and the education sector in general, need to ask yourselves one very simple question, \"If it were my child that I was sending into a classroom to develop their intellect and knowledge, would I trust and believe that the teacher who is responsible for my child\'s education has the dedication and competency to actually teach my child effectively?\" If you are true to yourself it is all-to-likely that when you look in the mirror you will recognize that you are not competent enough to stand in a classroom. So, DON\'T DO IT! You are acting irresponsibly and having a deleterious effect on the development of an innocent child who has been entrusted to you by people who believe that you can educate them. \n\nThe ESL industry should not be a tool for people to travel the globe and make money to support their wanderlust. Find another way to support your travels and leave the development of a child\'s education to people who are qualified educators and dedicated to the child\'s learning. \n\nThe ESL industry is long overdue for some governance and legislation that will protect the education of innocent children. Perhaps part of the reason why students fail at language acquisition is that the classrooms are full of hacks that have no idea how to actually teach language. And for this there are those out there who proclaim that students should be held back a year for not achieving the KSCO of that academic year. Ridiculous! The onus is on the teachers to deliver a quality education and set up strategies to ensure that the weaker students are provided with the support and tools they need to succeed. Grow up people. If you want to teach English, then be an educator. If not, get the hell out of the classroom and stop blaming students, bad school administrators, and scamming language institute business people for all the failings of students. At the end of the day it is you, the teacher-mentor-educator, that has within your hands the capability to change the lives of your students. Regardless of all the external forces outside of the classroom, if you are truly a dedicated educator that cares about your students, you will succeed in helping them to learn.\n\nDavid',1,'101.109.93.25',1,'2011-04-01 21:21:15','2011-04-02 05:21:12'),(1225,3875,'Robert Bruce','tutorsearch2009@yahoo.com','Bangkok','Nightmares in Teaching in Thailand are becoming less rare, sadly.

Many of these teachers see their work as a job and not as a profession.  They will cut corners and slack off whenever they can.  They will also test all of the administration rules and try to get away with as much as they can.  At the same time, they will expect maximum benefits.

I\'m lucky to have travelled a lot, it is something I always wanted to do, so I done it... sacrificed the fancy cars, worked hard and saved.\n\nI\'m realistic about travel, I accept the fact it never runs to time, or goes smoothly, things are always different to what you expect and there will be delays, so book, ipod, and the ability to sleep standing up has served me well over the years.... I take the view I will get to where I am going at some point, thus mostly very laid back.\n\nBeing British any trip around Europe is normally uneventful, never had much of an issue anywhere, even made it in to Latvia, and Russia without even showing my passport at all, more fun coming out of Russia trying to explain how I got in with out a stamp on my visa though!\n\nAnyway, the best or most speedy entrance was in Japan, I think there were 8 or 9 immigration officials checking passports, one look at my UK one and a simple 90 stay stamp... \"Enjoy Japan\" ( under 10 seconds).\n\nA very close second was Cape Town, overnight flight arrived 6ish am very red eyed...(25 seconds including waiting inline)... \"Enjoy Cape Town Sir!\"\n\nBrazil was good as well... Air France flight ( first and last time) most ignorant cabin crew anywhere....Through passport control (Rio) in 3 minutes.... \"Enjoy Brazzzzzil Sir!\"\n\nEgypt a joy be it Cairo or anywhere even with the pay on arrival visa stamp, simple polite easy..... \"Welcome to Egypt Sir!\"\n\nIn fact anywhere in Middle East..... Jordan, Saudi, Qatar, UAE,.... all the same simple, polite easy \"Welcome to wherever!\"\n\nNow..... there are down sides.... thankfully not many but dare I say and maybe there is a connection, they have always been with younger passport officers, now they might be going through training, or just love the new power trip they have..... or dare I say uneducated!!\n\nSecond worst was entering the US.... now as I said I travel, its been my life, and hopefully I have a few more years of it. So there are some odd visa stamps floating around in my passports. Many years ago I lived on the little island of Malta, worked in the summer and make a few friends and stayed during the winter... My little place backed on the Lybian embassy, so as you do walking past the place every day you get to know the people..... One weekend I visited Tripoli with a friend, different life, culture but very enjoyable..... Now a few years later try getting into the US with a Lybian visa stamp in your passport! (6 hours with really ignorant and brain dead officials) Should have been 5 hours... but when asked what will be the first thing I do if I get admitted to the US. My reply was I\'ll find the nearest bar and try to forget being quized about my life from birth by someone who is both rude and obviously does not have a clue about travelling... QED extra hour!... Yes I know security etc etc, but when they want to know about what\'s you favorite colour and sport you played as a kid... enough is enough... saying mind your own business is not really a bright thing to do! Still I made it in.... and yes I found that bar :-)\n\nHowever worst was Israel.... Now I have some really nice Isreali friends... At the time I worked for a big company and was going to Tel Aviv for an exhibution, but took a few days holiday before and after.... \n\nMy holiday started in Taba Egypt.. lovely place... very chilled relaxed and quiet. Just a stones throw from the Israel border at Eliat... doing the walk through across the border there is always a minor pain, Egyptians take their time (aka Thailand) but pleasent enough..... Israeli border staff, all national service conscripts (18-21) mostly women, who have never travelled outside of Israel... so a simple Q&A session in a very quiet crossing takes about 30 minutes! ( plus they are really rude).\n\nHowever managed to get through, eventually after being told twice that I might not be admitted because I was not giving the right answers!! \n\nOk... now a short taxi to Eilat airport, very small regional airport simple dont you think?.... Oh no its not. At Check in its 4 check-in staff and they all ask questions about everything, your parents, your children, your school... even your breakfast and sleeping habits! I refused to answer all on the grounds it had nothing to do with travelling on an internal flight which all my documents were upto date and the had contact names, numbers and address of my whole stay in Israel......\n\nQED 8 hours in detention at the airport whilst they went through all my luggage, phones, books, socks, life history.... Funny thing the detention staff were fine, polite and civil, I just took up the oppertunity to sleep when I could. At this point its good getting stressed, just let them do what they have to, make sure you get plenty of food and water, toilet breaks as well. Then insist they repack your case with a full written inventory signed, simple really. I think I missed 3 regional flights and was booked in on a military special. Most the passengers were army!.. anyway it was different and quite interesting.\n\nOh for the record I got the same treatment coming back from Tel Aviv to Eilat a few days later... I can say the foods good.\n\nSo when it comes to immigration anywhere, they will do what they want, when they want and at their own speed. Just accept it is going to take time and look as board with the whole process as they are.... If they ask a question just give a short and simple answer, volenteer nothing else.\n\n(On the Thai visa farce, it will only improve for us here when its easier for Thais to travel abroad. Our countries give their people a hard time, so they will do the same to us)....All very childish I know but I can assure you its true.',0,'124.120.29.155',1,'2011-04-02 20:25:23','2011-04-03 03:30:49'),(1232,4804,'David','djbrke@gmail.com','Thailand','Thank you Lisa for your kind contribution to the discussion.\n\nThe article was never intended to discuss the issue of teenage and adult learners, therefore there is no \"failure of consideration\" here. It is simply a targeted topic. Other issues are for other articles.\n\nIndeed, the peculiarities of Thai student learning behaviour do need to be taken into account when endeavouring to teach English to young learners in this country where \"Sanook\" is a key element of an effective ESL classroom. Note however, there is no need for a loss of cognitive deductive language acquisition or inductive learning to take place simply because the teaching methodology incorporates the \"Fun Factor.\" Effective and experienced ESL teachers know how to make learning fun. Furthermore, child-centered task based learning employing Social Constructivism is extremely effective with Thai students who will naturally gravitate towards the learning experience when presented with a lesson that engages them. \n\nThe only students that are not interested in learning are those who simply have not been engaged in a manner that switches on their natural instinct and curiosity to learn. Thai students are really no different than any other students and the myth that perpetuates this nonsense that Thai students will not \"behave\" or \"learn\" because they lack the discipline to do so is completely misguided. All children in all cultures function primarily the same, bore them to tears with tedious teaching strategies and you will end up with a disruptive class on your hands. Engage them with targeted learner-centered activities that have tangible meaning to them and they will work very hard to participate in the learning experience. What you are describing in your observations are not the shortcomings of Thai students, they are the shortcomings of an ineffective teaching strategy. \n\nIt seems pretty clear that Thailand has, in fact, taken a very serious stance on its motivations to make English a vital component of the nation. To one degree or another, English has become the de facto second language of the nation. What many foreigners seem to forget is that there are a very large number of educated Thais who have very good competency skills in the language. The call for English within all strata of society is loud and clear. From educators, MOE administrators, the business community, and governing bodies there is a strong desire to see the nation become proficient in the language. Seems pretty serious to me!\n\nThe issue of the snow white tanned backpacker, so-called \"teacher,\" is really about economics and salary compensation packages as compared to other more lucrative opportunities that are available to professional ESL teachers. That is to say, Thailand has simply failed to produce compensation packages that can attract qualified experienced ESL professionals. There are a myriad of reasons as to why this is the case, but suffice it to say that to suggest that Thailand is not interested in attracting and hiring qualified professional ESL educators is simply wrong. What is wrong, too many Thais falsely believe that they can attract professional ESL teachers that can do the job and be compensated with a 30,000 baht a month salary. As we all know, the reality is these salaries do not attract ESL professionals therefore the void is filled with what the culture perceives, rightly or wrongly (wrongly), as a qualified English language teacher -- the \"White-skinned Native Speaker English God.\" Absurd, we know!    \n\nThailand is what it is and so be it. I will state it once more clearly and simply; what any educator in Thailand, or anywhere else for that matter, needs to be focused on is producing effective lessons that engage the students and create effective learning outcomes. Keep your eyes on the prize people. The rest of the nonsense is simply a series of distractions that take away the energy that is needed to be the best one can be. \"What you focus on will grow.\"\n\nDavid',0,'101.109.93.217',1,'2011-04-02 20:34:47','2011-04-04 06:20:46'),(1233,4804,'Sudharani Subramanian','sudhacal@yahoo.com','Lampang','Well said!

I got into the teaching profession late in life and started in Korea.  It took a while but I realized that they didn\'t even think I could teach, I was just supposed to show up so the school could say they had a native speaker.  They had no suggestions as to what they wanted me to teach, no text books (and most are awful anyway) and the Korean teachers often asked to take over my classes so they could teach them \'important things\'.\n\nWell, I have always felt that you should do things well or not at all (I agree with Mr. Burke on that point) so I came to Thailand to take the CELTA course.  I feel that as far as teaching in a classroom filled with students who all speak one language it was a waste of time and money.  They often said \'what will you do with a classroom where the students all speak different languages?\'  But they never gave us a strategy for teaching in a class where 35 students are busy talking in their own language and have no interest in what the crazy foreigner is doing.  In fact they complained about it as well.\n\nSo I started reading  and ordering some books and learning new techniques. Now I feel that I am a much better teacher.  I feel I am also a little better at diffusing the tension in the class room regarding English.  It is not only failing he students that creates tension.  The very act of dividing them up according to better and lesser abilities (i.e. the sparrows and bluebird reading groups in the U.S.) communicates a message. (The Thai school I taught at split up students by grade and ability.  You might be M1 and if your English was poor you would be M1-1 -You think students didn\'t understand that?) \n\nBut my current situation is that while I feel I have matured a bit as a teacher, and am very willing to learn more, I am now ------- (shudder!, gasp!, horror!) 57 - and am \'aged out\' of many of the jobs on ajarn.com and other sites.  I don\'t even get interviews.  So if the \'teacher of choice\' - is between say 25 and 35 (I have seen cut off ages as low as 30), what can the schools expect? And the ESL \'industry\' as a whole?\n\nAnd if school is seen as nothing more than a path to a job I think that pretty much destroys the whole \'personnel development\' idea anyway.  Vilifying the teachers doesn\'t seem to be an answer.  Maybe it is time for the teachers to go off on their own and let the students come to them.',1,'58.8.170.247',1,'2011-04-04 20:10:41','2011-04-05 03:20:30'),(1252,4817,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Thanks Guy,\n\nyou\'re welcome!',1,'86.51.168.74',1,'2011-04-04 20:48:46','2011-04-05 04:17:56'),(1253,4817,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Asger,\n\nyes, exactly, the story isn\'t true, just a joke.

I have taught a TEFL course for new teachers and just because they have a Bachelors / Masters Degree does not mean they can teach. I found this to be true over and over again. Most \"TEFL Certificate Farms\" do NOT fail any of the teachers that \"paid for\" their certificate. This is the main reason I no longer teach TEFL to new teachers.\n\nI also agree with Mr. Burke that a student awarded an \"F\" is the failure of the assessment policies within the school or instructors that lack training in assessment. An \"F\" should only be awarded to the student who completely earns it. Teaching at university level does reinforce this concept. The assessment for the course tends to award some effort on the students behalf and at university level this includes attendance, participation in class and other productive activities. \n\nI know that at the lower level schools the students are required to attend and motivation is at times nonexistent, but this is where a qualified, professionally trained teacher can make a difference. Cultural, class and linguistic background knowledge with how to engage the ELL\'s learning strategies is where to look first. Most Thai students are now and will be better educated than their parents so the teacher has to \"step up\" pedagogically including technology to stimulate the non-motivated students. \n\nWhat is the objective of education? Originally is to train learners to be productive in life and get job training for the future. But now it seems by Mr. Burke\'s account Thailand seems as \"Academically Adrift\" as the USA in comparison. \n\nSo, in closing, Yes... to cleaning up the ESL /EFL teacher industry and adopt a professional standardization globally. \n\nWill this ever happen? NO. It will be unrealistic to believe it will ever happen...greed is a common factor that internationally, its hunger and thirst can never quench. \n\nFor now the teachers who now teach have to police themselves professionally. Teachers must believe that they just may be teaching a future leader of Thailand and that by teaching, being a good role model, can make a difference in the students’ life and for the Kingdom of Thailand.',0,'182.53.241.205',1,'2011-04-09 18:44:59','2011-04-10 05:45:33'),(1263,4804,'Ben','ben2talk@yahoo.com','Bangkok','Despite the conversation here, whilst delving into the jobs market here I find that most of these comments are pretty irrelevant.\n\nQualifications and paperwork are required mostly for superficial purposes. In the past I\'ve witnessed many school owners and parents alike stating that more than half of their best teachers actually have no relevant formal qualifications - they are adequately educated, and have talent.\n\nGood schools will provide well planned material for teachers to work with. They will call in teachers to do test teaching and judge them on their performance on the floor, the way they interact with the children and engage them in lessons...  However, the reality is that appearances are of much more importance than education. Teachers should be aged between 25 and 35 and be dressed like professional businessmen (the clothes that teachers wear in Western countries is not acceptable).They must have a full set of qualifications (take a look - schools paying 15,000 per month are requiring a Bachelors in Childhood Education - it\'s laughable!).\n\nEven now, possession of a Master degree guarantees a higher salary - yet I have yet to meet a teacher with a Master degree who can do more than barely survive in the classroom - I didn\'t meet many, but they all earned more and had virtually no talent whatsoever.\n\nActually, it would be better to talk about \'good teachers\' than to use loaded phrases like \'professional teachers\' - because the word \'professional\' implies that qualifications are a very important aspect - and from experience I believe that this only really applies to higher levels (perhaps with students aged from 13 upwards) when teaching specialised subject material.\n\nHaving previously taught Science to Prathom levels, I can say honestly that you spend more than 90% of your time teaching the students simply to read, learn and spell vocabulary for material that they pick up extremely easily - and this requires only for them to bring a dictionary, no specialist knowledge on the teacher\'s behalf.',0,'110.168.111.4',1,'2011-04-10 07:31:14','2011-04-10 15:53:00'),(1264,168,'Peter Evans','sjchpb@gmail.com','Bangkok','You get good and bad teachers from every country.

There is no getting around that fact. If people do not get what they want from a language school  they will not continue to buy its services. The fact is that  in most situations in Thailand it doesn\'t really matter if you are good teacher or not. People want sanook. They do not want a teacher that is \"too serious.\" \n\nPrior to coming to Thailand I was a Peace Coprs teacher in Africa. I also gained a teaching credential in California and have worked in schools at home. I have experience teaching in language schools here and Korea. Yes there are a lot of teachers who dont care about the education of their students everywhere. I have been a student in classes and and have worked alongside more than one teacher at home whose primary objective was  to get the hell out of the classroom and into an administration job so they can spend the workday honing their skills on some moronic computer game.  \n\nThat is one reason why I left teaching at home.  The system is broken. The United States spends 10,000 dollars per student and well over half the people gratduating high school dont know that The US gained its indepedence from Great Britian.  A system like that is full of *&^%$ ups. (credentialed &^%$ ups but *&^% all the same)  A reasonable fix to the problem at home would have been  the Bush administaration\'s idea of vouchers which would give parents 10,000 dollars to send their children to private schools if they so chose. The schools that performed would  survive and profit those that did not would fail and go out of business. I think in America generally people go to school or send their kids to learn and this is a plausible model for education reform at home. I am not so sure that the same values exist here in Thailand - at least in the language school sector.\n\nThere are good teachers here, even those that are financing their travels through teaching. I agree that kids dont learn enough English in classes here in language schools. Often times that is the fault of the teachers and the schools.  Some people send their kids or go to class themselves and get ripped off. More often though the school is just providing  the service that their customers expect. \n\nI personally don\'t think McDonalds is to blame for obesity in America.

For many, Thailand may appear to be a single man\'s paradise, but after the honeymoon is over the true nature of the relationship becomes readily apparent.  I wouldn\'t say it\'s confrontational, although I often feel like a barely tolerated houseguest.\n\nMany of us can recall the myriad hoops we had to jump through just to marry our Thai spouses, and I reflect on my experience from time to time with no particular relish.  Fresh out of the military, I admittedly did not possess the exorbitant sum in my account which immigration required for me to marry a Thai woman.  Oddly enough, my wife was on about 40k working as an interpreter for a Japanese firm.  We both explained in detail that hubby was indeed not a vagabond but had returned to Thailand to use his military scholarship to attend university, while dear old wife would continue working at said job.  In addition, I would receive around $1,000 U.S. per month for housing allowance.  We both assumed that this would provide us with a reasonable income and would serve as evidence that our future family would indeed have a solid financial foundation.\n\nLo and behold, the law on the books paid nary a mind to either my Thai fiancee\'s income or the extensive documentation substantiating my claim that I was truly going to attend university in Thailand.  My wife was furious to say the least, but no amount of vitriol could sway the stoic low-level government bureaucrat.  I was, in fact, a foreign man trying to marry a Thai woman, who I would, of course, immediately cart off to America for a miserable life of sexual slavery - had I my way.  Thank goodness for the Thai legal system protecting my poor ignorant fiancee from the impending horrors of such a debasing and loathsome existence.\n\nFor the record, I had known my wife for 12 years when we decided to get married and loved her very much.  It would seem as if these facts are irrelevant and need not be bandied about in a public forum, but I would argue that they are at the crux of the problem.  The author of this post spoke of the rights of individuals, which i heartily support, however I would say that there is another issue in play here - namely, the Thai perception of who we, as foreigners of any ilk, truly are.  \n\nWe may have come as holiday-makers at some point, but for a good portion of us, Thailand has become our home.  We are not all voracious sex addicts out for a good time.  We are husbands, fathers, teachers, part-time rugby players etc..  In short, we are just normal people and wish to be treated as such.\n\nIn the end, my wife and I were able to find a corrupt government official (fancy the odds) who agreed to marry us.  We produced the necessary witnesses, signed the proper forms, paid the proper fees (and the improper fees), and it was a done deal.\n\nAt the end of the day, noone is getting rich off of teaching in Thailand (while some might be getting rich off of teachers).  We work hard, some seven days a week, we scrape and we save - and for what?  For all intents and purposes, as a farang in Thailand I have essentially the same status as the migrant farm workers picking produce in California (albeit a slightly higher salary).  I must say boys, for my little family the honeymoon is about over.  It just might be time to shuffle back to civilization, where democratic freedoms are a given, and frivolous and discriminating laws are largely a thing of the past.

There are a lot of people here who think that Thailand is a perfect place with beautiful women, clean beaches, and exotic food. While it is all of those things, it is the kind of opinion that is usually given by those who have only been here for a few weeks or have been here longer but are stuck in some kind of time warp - like a S E Asian version of Groundhog Day. They fail to see or acknowledge the other side of life here and think others are merely whining when they voice their own concerns.\n\nYour situation is an extreme one and it could be that because you fell through the usual admin cracks, the people who you approached, Thai government officers (not the most honest), were probably angling for a bribe which you hitherto didn\'t offer.\n\nYou are spot on here:\n\n\"At the end of the day, noone is getting rich off of teaching in Thailand (while some might be getting rich off of teachers).

You can add on the 2-tier pricing at national parks and other tourist attractions as well (despite paying local taxes an having a work permit), the higher rates to bribe policemen and government officials, the inability to ever get promoted if you work in a Thai establishment, the expectation that in cases of e.g. traffic accidents involving a Thai and a farang, the latter will pay the lion\'s share if not the entire costs irrespective of who caused the accident in the first place.\n\nDon\'t get me wrong - there are still a lot of pluses to living in Thailand but like anywhere on the planet, there is no such thing as \"perfect\". Everywhere has its downsides, and I have been highlighting Thailand\'s.\n\nGiven all of these things, it\'s hardly surprising that many expats wake up and smell the flowers sooner rather than later and find pastures greener.\n\nThanks for your post!\n\nTom',1,'86.51.168.74',1,'2011-04-19 02:52:32','2011-04-19 09:56:08'),(1282,2874,'lee lepper','leelepper@yahoo.com','nonthaburi','I agree that the guy was power tripping.

This adventure has been both a gift and curse.\n\nHaving my degree in Education, English/Reading/Psychology, licensed in home country, Thailand, and S. Korea; 30+ years of experience (mostly international), I was ready  to take on a new teaching assignment. However, I did not expect to deal with the deadly three forks of teaching in Thailand.\n\nThe first is complete culture shock. Oh, not the environment, I am talking about the whole thought process and the difference in the way Thai and Westerners deal with things, see things, do things and the whole mai pen rai attitude.\n\nThe second thing is the teaching system and the restrictive laws that keep students from learning, much less mastering a concept that is useful.\n\nThirdly, both one and two combined with profiteering at the expense of society by greed based administration and owners.\n\nWe can go on and on here. We can give example after example but the bottom line is this. You must be able to first deal with personal issues so they do not affect your job, coworkers, or self. Then you have to be able to modify your expectations and delivery to fit into the system giving as much as possible to the student without listing the boat to far towards on side or the other. In other words, don\'t make wave by rocking your boat to much. Lastly, see education and your school for what it is. It may be a cattle mill for sucking off as much profit as possible, a sincerely great international school that prepares children for the world, a government school that is just a government day care facility or any combination of things but understand your place in it.\n\nI have had many personal confrontations over what I felt were injustices to me from non support, misrepresentation, working under or with lesser qualified people, theft of money, etc... Then I fought the idea that all my years of teaching suddenly became Dante\'s Inferno for me as I tried to find a way to help pull the system out of hell. Finally, I realized I am a foreigner with not rights, security, or benefits except for just doing what I am told, keep my head down, take my money and do the best I can, always keeping an eye out for a back up plan.\n\nThat being said, I have always worked in the 60K salary range and I have a great job now. I love my students and the staff are just great. I will never get rich but I am very happy. I have accepted the above comments as a fact of life in Thailand and my life is much easier.\n\nMy advice to anyone coming to Thailand. It might be best if you are a new teacher without a lot of expectations. It will be easier to adjust. The younger the better but I suspect between 28 - 35 is a good range. Network and get to know every teacher you can. Compare notes on various school and how they operate and are staffed. Do not expect to get a positive response from International Schools. They do pay well but are hell to get into. Most hire outside Thailand. Do not expect emails to be answered from anyone in business. If you can a TEFL is good as is a YLE plus a degree. Expect hassels in visa, immigration and daily dealing with Thais when trying to get important things done (apartment, moving, buying large items). Pick your friends wisely. Most important the kids and their parents have the power to kill your job just by saying the right words. They must be on your side.

As for in generalizing how people are of whatever ethnicity depends on the permeation of their behavior.  This is not focusing on stereotyping.  When persons travel abroad and visit, that is a good aspect as for populaces who decide to take up residency in various countries with honest intent.

If he had he would know that Thai teachers do not engage in sanook activities and the students work in these classes and are attentive.  It is only the foreign teachers who are expected to be entertainers in the classroom.  Entertaining, acting, playing, etc to get the attention of the student is a part of being a teacher, but it should not be the focus of education.  The Thai student will grow to perceive the teacher as a joke and not respect the teacher as he or she does the Thai teacher who is not the clown.  \n\nWith respect to not failing students, social promotions failed in the US and the policy has certainly failed here.  The justification in the US for social promotions was to prevent damage to the student\'s self-esteem.  The whole concept of self-esteem is slippery and hardly justification for graduationg students who cannot read or write, unless they are special education students.  If a student is failing perhaps there  should be educational interventions such as assessment to determine if there is a mental or perceptual deficit, special education programs for those needing them, or pulling students out of class for one-on-one instruction.  There should also be set objectives for the learners.  \n\nEverything I have mentioned is absent in Thailand; except at the elite international schools where parents pay dearly for these services.  Every era has a new educational philosophy and I expect that the youth of the writer fuels his moral indignation regarding the lack of fellow teachers following his pet educational approach.   Regarding TEFL,  in my opinion it is a joke.  Hiring teachers who are certified in their respective countries should be the path to follow in Thailand.  This would at least guarantee some standard of baseline knowledge and dedication to the profession through years of college level coursework.  Finally, teachers need not follow the same method to be succesful.  Creative thinking and critical thinking skills are things we should nurture in children and certainly allow teachers to develop as well.',1,'125.27.49.179',1,'2011-04-26 22:55:50','2011-04-27 05:59:02'),(1307,4804,'Ben','ben2talk@yahoo.com','Bangkok','The author has obviously taught in Thailand, and has some idea of the problems teachers face. I think his article is pretty good - however, I think that the subject is one of \'graduation\'. Failing students at the end of the year so that they must go back and do it again is obviously a bad idea.\n\nStudents should simply be given a grade from A to F - all being passing grades whether it equates to 10 or 90 percent. This is the crux of the issue. \n\nI teach children to read, and the course does include spelling tests. I mark them creatively - students who write words like \'kat\' or \'shair\' instead of Cat and Chair will gain a point for correctly attempting to spell a word they cannot spell - and double points for hitting the correct spelling. Sometimes they score 4 in a practice test and 2 in the real test - I don\'t need to tell them they \'failed\' and I simply tell them about ways I would try to improve my skill if I were them.\n\nFailure is a stupid idea. Students gain very very bad attitudes from their environment. The problem is that the writer is looking for \'legislation\'. This is a stupid idea - legislation in this country? Thailand is already famous for making it harder and harder for anyone to do even the most legitimate business here - and is simply making life difficult for educators or institutes to choose the best teachers.\n\nLegislation should relax and the blame should be placed on Schools instead of the individual teachers. Bad teachers only survive in bad schools - take a good look at some of the largest schools here, with their compliment of a hundred or so farang teachers all holed up on school provided accommodation, drinking themselves stupid every night and learning very quickly that the whole \'school\' thing is a scam - lots of show and no substance.\n\nNo, legislation won\'t help. Legislators have already been bought by these schools, and it\'s the rest of us that would suffer.

I am over 50 and have worked in Thailand, Bangkok before. I have just returned after 3 years teaching in the Middle East.\n\nBefore coming back to Thailand I applied for several vacancies, pretty much a wasted exercise I know, because Thai schools rarely recruit anyone who isn\'t already in Thailand, but I was just interested to see if I got any replies. I didn\'t, not one. I assumed that this was because I was still overseas. That was a wrong assumption, because since my return I have applied to lots of other job postings including some I applied to before returning. Still the same result, not one reply.\nThis I find perplexing and disappointing. If I wasn\'t qualified I would understand, but I am well qualified, have many years experience teaching, including in schools in Thailand. To not get even one reply is, well disappointing to say the least. I feel almost like I have done something wrong, but I assume it is because of my age.\n\nSecondly, the point about teaching in the Middle East after teaching in Thailand as being difficult, well not in my experience. If you have the right qualifications and experience there should be no problem and they will not discriminate against you even if you are over 50. Before I returned to Thailand I was working as a DOS for a training organisation in Saudi. We recruited teachers from UK mainly and we wanted teachers with experience, which tended to mean older teachers we even recruited a teacher who was over 60 and he has been there for over 3 years now. This was unusual, but not unknown. Furthermore our teachers had previously taught in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. I myself came from teaching in Thailand to work in Saudi and I didn\'t experience any problems applying. Usually the biggest problem is having to return to your home country for the visa processing and because of the way visas are allocated by Saudi immigration dept companies are restricted in which countries they can recruit from. But this is not the case for all Middle Eastern countries.\n\nSo, I  am actively looking to return to teach in the Middle East. At least there 50 isn\'t too old and at least I will have students who are respectful and management who want me. I am tired of the narrow-mindedness of recruiters in Thailand who seem to assume that over 50 is \"dead\".',0,'110.168.102.251',1,'2011-04-28 22:37:42','2011-04-29 06:03:11'),(1318,5068,'Andrew','andrew@rayayai.com','Bangkok','Check out the difference between Divemaster and Instructor.

However, what \"some people\" in The TCT \"might\" do is to keep moving it back again and again. This would be the same as temporarily suspending it, without having to come out and say so and losing face.\" If you ask me, if they do keep postponing it, that\'s a good thing. That would mean that they realize and admit, internally anyway, that the exams are not good enough and that they should improve them. In the meantime, they have to give us all some way to work legally. Schools still need us. So it\'s win/win for everybody.\n\nWill this actually happen? I don\'t know. Do you?

However, I have to argue the point on transportation.\n\nGetting around in Bangkok is painful, if you grew up in London or New York or some other major metropolis you could probably work it out. For the rest of us it involves looking up bus and train routes on the internet, working out where the nearest station is to where you are and where you want to be. Then taking a taxi to both of these locations. Basically, unless you live directly under the sky train, and all the places you want to go to (including your school) are en route, this will be what you have to do everytime one of your friends wants to go somewhere new.\n\nThe author has a good grasp on the other points, in my opinion. But honestly, how can you not want to have your own motorcycle out in the sticks? The traffic is practically nonexistant (provided you\'re not living in another major city, but that sort of goes without saying) and it is just so much fun to ride! You can rent for 500-1000 baht per month, depending on the quality of your vehicle and where you live. Also a lot of the time there simply isn\'t any public transport going, besides the bus going to Bangkok. So it\'s a bit foolish not to take the motorbike.\n\nAs to the worry of safety, I just say this: Defensive driving. And wear a helmet.\n\nIn other news, I reckon Brian has landed himself a pretty sweet deal. One of the best I\'ve heard of, since he has barely any expenses.

If I had read a few horror stories before coming here, at least I would have been prepaired for what to expect. Everything I read before coming talked about how polite and respectful Thai students were. And how they wanted to learn English. What a load of crap.\n I have never taught in BKK, but here in Isaan, the wealthy students are rude disrespectful and have zero interest in learning English. My first 3 years here I was at a vocational college. The students English ability was almost zero. The pay was very low, but at least the students were polite. Then along came a new director and he decided all falang gone. So I needed a new job.\n\nFor 3 years I had heard about \" the best school in the city\". Many people told me about \"the best school in the city\". So I was feeling very good about getting hired there. But now I understand that to a Thai person \"the best school in the city\" only means that the parents are rich.My first day of teaching I walked into a room with 52 Pratom 6 students, and no helper. I stopped in the doorway, my mouth fell open and I\'m thinking \" oh my God,this is \"the best school in the city\"? There were boys climbing on desks, boys fighting and food flying around.And also at that moment I understood the microphone. In an American school there is no need for a microphone, the students sit quietly and listen. Thai students have absolutely no respect for school. Their parents have taught them nothing about respect for other people. I had a boy come up to me and get within 6 inches of my face and just start screaming at me. I pinched his cheek and pushed him out of my face. In my culture a 12 year old does not talk to an adult like that. The director had a talk with me about pinching the boys cheek.\n\nThat first day I had food land on me. I found out who threw it and wiped it on his shirt. I told him that I didn\'t want his food. One day I left class with blood running down my forehead. Boys in the back of the room playing with a piece of metal pipe. It slipped out of his hand bounced off the wall and hit me in the head. Maybe the worst was boys saying f@#k you, and writing f@#k you on the board. Of course they spelled it wrong. When I talked to the Thai English teacher about it, she blamed the American movies. She said well they watch American movies. I told her that American students watch a lot of movies too, but they don\'t tell their teacher f@#k you. About the piece of metal pipe, the Thai teacher said that was my fault for not keeping 52 students busy enough. When I talked to the director about f@#k you, and I gave him the students names, his answer was \"well their parents are rich\"  The answer to every problem was \"well the parents are rich\". That was enough for me. I left \"the best school in the city\" after 3 months.\n\nAfter living here for 5 years now, I know, the truth in Thailand is very hard to come by.

My wife has many parents who say how happy their children have been teached by me...But.! Some English (Thai)  teachers have been the most two faced people I have ever come across. Sweet mouth when you start, but, become popular with the students, and you are on the way out! Forget promises I left one school after three years, because the new director cut salaries stating that we can get more cheaper teachers! I when to another school who stated that a good future was to be had! Until a teacher locally started an agency! Suddenly all the local schools closed their doors to local teachers for the new influx of cheap European and African teachers. Will they stay unlikely as this city doesn\'t offer the treats available elsewhere. And as most will not have any form of transport, this city becomes an open prison. \n\nFor me! I know it is likely the phone will ring in the next 4 to 6 weeks, thats OK has I have been paying into the social fund, I continue to pay and I got 6 month unemployment benifit and free medical for two years. Will I wait around hoping for work? No! My wife and child will take care of the farm and I am going to China to work. Do I want to go? No! Will I work in Thailand for less than 30K? No! But from what I understand is China is like Thailand 6 plus years ago, They want native speaker teachers to assist them, and there is a price range to suit all types! Air Asia make it cheap for me to come home to Thailand every 8 weeks. So I have nothing to lose. OK I can live without working anymore, but, that is because I worked to live that way! But, I am 54 years old and still able to work hard to earn a bit more doing something I have come to enjoy doing.\n\nI would not go if any school in Thailand wants me and is willing to cover the expenses needed to live away from home. \n\nI agree with your other writers, some schools have no shame, in the conditions for the students, and in training the students. But, you can walk into the English department at any school, and find tables for eating, teachers eating all day.  Piles of books, and paperwork that is years old and of no use. And hardly a penny spent on improvements. So much broken and outdated equipment. One school I know has a thousand computers for the students to use, but one second  hand clapped out computer for the office.

We brought - we did not point a gun - here at least a thousand teachers over three years and 7 semesters and most of these teachers has no contact or a guarantee for a job in Thailand. We offered them full security with a real contact with all their legal issues - of course we are always bound to high Thai bureaucracy and experienced problems - and payments always on time even if they did not teach a single day. Moreover, even if they find a school by themselves which school can guarantee one year contract to a farang/foreigner in Thailand? Please tell me, do teachers survive without any support or training/knowledge about Thailand, its culture and tricky education system? \n\nI know many teachers worked/working directly with the school became a meta for in school politics which is hard to define for a foreigner. I know many teachers who have seen another foreigner sitting on their desks in the morning and find themselves fired without any notice or reason and especially when they were announced as the best teachers at the school the day before. The sad thing is schools always hired another farang/foreigner as the new teacher right away and asked him/her to explain the teacher that he/she is fired. No confrontation at all, no reason - except \" we did not like him/her\"high and dry in the middle of the semester with no jobs or a need for relocation, burned apartment deposits, rents, broken relationships etc...\n\nAs one of  the biggest teacher placement organization in Thailand - we actually prefer to use the term organization for companies as big as AYC and agency for the basement companies with two Thai ladies, a computer, a phone and with no support and security at all - we feel that a salary of 30 k - 38k thb is more then enough for the reality of Thailand. Teachers sending mails about stopping the adds of organizations due to their so called insulting salaries are looking like the guys who have been fired by the schools already and struggling to find any more jobs due to their high expectations. Actually, it is normal for these type of guys who do not hold or do not care any single thing about Thai Culture and how things are running here.\n\nIn reality, those insulting salaries are around three times more then a Thai teacher with around 5 years of experience and double then a teachers who has around 10 years of experience. It is the salary of an army general in Thailand who need to climb there for 30 years. On top of these, what do you mean an insulting salary? So, people earning less then 30 - 38k need to feel ashamed? The term \'insulting salary\' is an insult for the people earning less than that.\n\nWe are not in Thailand to become rich or if you need more money why bother yourself coming to Thailand? Or another crucial question for you: \"If you want to be rich, why did you choose to be a teacher instead of a banker?\" Teaching is an idealistic job and we really do not like people who take teaching in Thailand - or elsewhere - as a meta for money.\n\nStay in USA and UK and earn three times more there- of course spend three time more - or if you want to live in Thailand and/or be a teacher, you have to accept its reality, wipe your tears, open your eyes again, look around and recognize, you are not in USA/UK etc. any more and please leave your traditions and salary comparisons there...\n\nStill, over 3 years of interviews and emailing, I totally understand the frustration of the teachers burned by some basement agencies. No payment, no support, no legal procedures. But, this is because of our foreign, greedy and super confident minds as we are always focusing on \"money\". Teachers needs to keep in their minds that a company offering a better salary does not mean they have better service and operation as well. \n\nBig companies which are doing things smoother, of course pay less salary due to their high operational expenses and investments such as semi annual seminars, work permits and their procedures, transportation costs, curriculum staff, substitution for sick! teachers, money under the table, salaries of its staff and office costs... There are many other things I dare to count... So, if you do not focus on a couple of thousands bath less or more - which will not make you rich or poor - then no problems at all. Plus, do not forget to check the building of the company, decoration, the number of staff inside. If you trust on two Thai ladies with broken English,  in a small room at the basement, with a computer and a phone, then you write to several blogs, forums and ajarn.com to complain about the agencies, right?',1,'180.183.127.45',1,'2011-05-26 02:33:27','2011-05-30 08:09:24'),(1391,5355,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','In response to the question that asked me to rate myself as a teacher - I have seen videos of teachers using WBT in inner city schools in America and being successful under these most dire of circumstances.

However the basics will remain largely the same, I believe, for quite some time.

These fundamentals absolutely work and produce stupendous results.  However Hogan\'s approach to timing resulted in a rise of the number of lower back pain sufferers  that hadnt been seen since the days of Vlad the Impaler. \n\nSo, timing has been reassed and as a result of changing that it was necassary to change other fundamentals. Thus a  more modern swing has evolved. It is much less stressful on the body and seems to produce results that are just as consistent  thus is better. However the modern swing is still \"on plane\"-this can not be changed unless the laws of physics change.

On this thing called the globe, it is not so much prejudice.  It is more concerning about meme of what people are about.  Abrogating what predecessors have done makes it extremely hard for successors.  The mosaic of people globally has separate cultures as you mentioned that you have been exposed to and education is the answer of the panorama of knowing of other nations.  But people when traveling who bring a paralysis of blaming other people for their actions create a catastrophic gulf of problems to divert the attentions for themselves, but people can think for themselves.

It is shocking to see how most farang teachers are treated here in the kingdom of Siam. At my last school 2 months before the end of term we were asked to stay behind after our classes were finished, as Phetpeter had stated ( thai people = food ) the Thai teachers had finished their 6th meal of the day, we were ushered into a room to be told we had to re-apply for the job we had been doing for almost the whole past year. \n\nSo during the March-April break we still had to sign-in at school every morning without fail or no salary. I did this. I get no calls from the school about re-signing a contract during this time. So the alarm bells start to ring in my head \"bugger\"! My fellow teacher calls me to ask if I have been asked to come in to sign a new contract to which I reply no, but he had. Bugger! I decided I am in trouble now, so I decide sod it and go to Laos. At the border leaving Thailand I am sent into the Thai Immigration office. I ask why, I still had 3 days left on my visa. \n\nSupposedly I needed a letter of termination from my school as well as from the labour department! Arse! I did not have said documents as my school did not even have the balls to tell me I was not getting a new contract. Luckily my girlfriend was back home and she managed to get the said documents from the school/labour office and faxed them to me at the immigration office. Sweet! By the time I arrived in Veintiene I was 10 mins late for the bloody Thai consulate.Crap! So because of the Thais at my old job not wanting to lose face and tell me I did not have a job plus not providing me with the documents my 2 day trip to Laos turned into 6 because it happened to fall on \"Labour Day\". I am so glad my English bank card still worked otherwise I would have been in deep do-do. So all I can advise is, if you think you are going to get canned make sure the buggers give you a letter of termination and you can sort the other details out with the labour office, just in case you have to do the same as me and go over the border.',0,'118.172.173.82',1,'2011-06-14 13:44:46','2011-06-15 01:16:34'),(1437,5486,'Michael','bilde@bilde.com','Bangkok','A very well-written and interesting piece.

In the Khao San Road area, a new band of ESL teaching agency touts are working the \"just arrived  in Thailand crowd \". It works like this: a friendly farang meets you in a bar or restaurant, and casually mentions that he has a friend looking for English teachers paying around 27,000 baht (or less) -  he offers to help you out and to hook you up with his friend   - but what he neglects to mention is that he is a paid recruiter and pockets a quick 4000 - 6000 baht if he delivers the naive newcomer  to the recruiting  agency he is working for. If he was really a friendly guy in a bar, he would just give the individual the telephone number or the street address of the agency - which happens all the time - this is called networking. These touts are working for agencies that are already underpaying teachers, usually in the 30,000 baht a month range, and usually offering a 10-month contract, pocketing the teacher\'s holiday / vacation pay, which the school pays to them.\n\nOften the recruiting touts are borderline English teachers themselves, as was the case when I declined an offered a 26,000 baht a month teaching job. It wasn\'t until later that I found out \"my friend\" was a recruiter and had given up teaching because he was so successful at duping new arrivals into accepting \"lower than low \"paying teaching jobs .',0,'61.90.94.166',1,'2011-06-19 22:13:13','2011-06-20 05:59:59'),(1446,5366,'Life','ojcsadler@hotmail.co.uk','Hat Yai','It seems that everyone has got highly involved in the question of money. In my opinion, 30k is the right salary, at the right time, for the right teachers and I don\'t think the existence of these salaries is a negative thing. I lived off that wage comfortably enough and managed to save two thirds of it each month without fail. I willingly offered to do my job for that amount when my department worried if they would be able to afford my salary this semester. They\'re now paying me significantly more, but if tomorrow they had to reduce it, I would still work here, I love my job. That\'s what is important to me.\n\nThe real question is the question of agencies. Yes of course there are good and bad, but why? Why are the bad ones still flourishing?\n\nThe problem is that the buck doesn\'t stop with Thai agencies any more. As one poster commented, teachers are being recruited on the \"just arrived in Bangkok wave\", but there are recruitment agencies taking the advertising even closer to home and soliciting various university job fairs in the UK to find victims.\n\nAlthough the agencies involved have now had to up their offers to 30k as every one has fled from them as soon as they\'ve realised the real wage situation in Thailand, this is what 35 teachers faced last September and another 50 odd faced in April with one such partnership that is regularly advertised on ajarn:\n\nLured out here on a £800, 5 month \"cultural experience\" and promised a (non CELTA) TEFL certificate as a \"passport to the rest of the world\" and a 4 month teaching placement, 2 agencies looking to make a quick buck sent anybody out to work, however unqualified or unprepared they were. Allegedly \"exclusive\" in their selection to people that would only fit the bill as teachers, they managed to include several people that clearly were not up to the task, and even one teacher without a degree.\n\nThe bit that really takes the biscuit?\n\n\"Luckily\" these recruits got paid 12,500 baht and had their accomodation paid for throughout their stay (agencies choice of accom) - as advertised, a wage that is \"significantly higher than the average Thai teacher, giving you plenty to live off!\"\n A wage that the schools themselves were seemingly unaware of, and dutifully shocked by when it all came out and realised the cut the agency were taking.\n\nObviously, recruits came out, realise they\'ve been had, argued to have their wages increased to 20k, got it, but still unsatisfied as agency did not provide work permits, tax receipts, never were in the office, or answered calls or emails and rarely paid correctly or on time, so they subsequently left after the first term and went home. \n\nNo problem for the recruitment or teaching agency - hit up another university, the same old spiel, take a (now) £1000 cheque for the TEFL, \"train\" some more teachers for 2 weeks and send them out to work for 4 months before they go home and it starts again. Maybe this time just get some of them to do an online TEFL course as well. Give them 2 hours with a guy who has no-little classroom experience, then send them out to work.\n\nWhat? They didn\'t complete the course? Oh don\'t worry. The agency who have already insinuated to the schools that everyone has taught before will say they did complete the course, and with flying colours... though if you want your certificate you\'ll have to see out your contract for that because otherwise they will withold it despite the fact you\'ve already paid for your TEFL. (By the way, no ACTUAL contracts were signed, this is just what the company in question threatened)\n\nSubsequently, Thai students end up with high changeover in teachers and poorly trained ones at that, and all the better teachers have to face lower wages because all the agencies know that somewhere out there they will find people willing to work for 12,500 baht.\n\nI\'m not so bothered about the wages, for me, you weigh your pros and cons and apply to the jobs that you want. If it\'s low pay but you really love the job, who cares, go for it. If you want a high paid job, don\'t apply for the low paid ones. I don\'t really get the hang up on the money issue.\n\nFor me it\'s more about advertising agencies that are unprofessional and practicing things that are borderline illegal. But again, it\'s not that ajarn even allows advertising space to these recruiters that bothers me. What infuriates me is that they can advertise with false promises but we\'re unable to name and shame them because of ajarn policy.\n\nOf course there are good agencies and bad ones. Of course ajarn has to advertise whoever wants to buy the advertising space because that is how the site develops and sustains itself.\n\nBut, why shouldn\'t the teachers be allowed to openly comment on their experiences as well?\n\nMaybe then the bad agencies will start to die out, and in turn there will be more serious teachers, with better training who deserve and will receive better compensation for their skills.',1,'118.173.147.17',1,'2011-06-21 02:38:16','2011-06-21 10:00:55'),(1447,5646,'Andy','andy.fleming2@btinternet.com','UK','Hi Colin.

In Thailand he teaches English and is also involved in media consulting and training.\n\n1. What do God and Jesus mean to you? \n \nI knew \"about\" God in high school, and never doubted that a superior being must have created the beautiful nature I saw, that it was not some spontaneous actions of science.  But at University, seeing all the different world views, I did some deeper studying.  I noticed that God, through Jesus Christ, was the only one who was a personal entity stressing love, compassion, forgiveness for the sins I could easily see in my life, and giving me an excitement and hope for a meaningful life and promise of Eternity with him.  I felt deeply indebted to him and decided to serve him back then, and have been ever since, both in secular and spiritual job categories. \n\n2. How did they influence your decision to come to Thailand?  \n\nI use to visit Thailand to do video and photography and return to USA after a few months, but in 2009 I felt the urge in my heart to move here.  I prayed for several months, talked to trusted friends in both Thailand and America, and then decided to do a trial year in Chiang Mai.  I took the SEE TEFL course, helped with a mission group, and it all went great. To me, that was confirmation that God did want me to move here.  \n  \n3. How do they influence your life here?  \n \n I can see many needs in Thailand, especially among the hill tribe people, and have a desire to help them with my time and talents.  God leads me into situations where I can indeed serve and help them by helping schools, homes, and other missions with Media consulting or English tutoring.  On a personal note, it has been great to meet some amazing Christian friends here, both at my church, (House of Praise), and also in the Missions community.  That has made the transition to this foreign culture all the better.  \n\n4. Do you actively try to convert non-Christians? \n\nNot really.  I try to love and serve and be a \"light\" to the people I meet. If they have some questions because God has stirred their spirit, then I\'d be glad to share about the Love of God.  Incidentally, I once confronted a farang \"street preacher\" at the Chiang Mai night bazaar.  He was speaking in Thai, waving his Bible around and I didn\'t understand him, but I could see by his style he was abrasive and intense.  I was upset with this tactic, especially given the relational and genteel style of Thai society.  \n \n5. Can someone live a good moral life if they are not religious? \n\nI suppose so.  But just remember, you don\'t live a good moral life so that you will be accepted by God and have a life in Heaven for eternity. You are accepted by God through Jesus Christ, are called to Heaven as his son or daughter for eternity, and thus you WANT to live a good, moral life. Being accepted by God (or rejecting that) is the much more important issue. \n \n6. Is it possible to be spiritual without following an organized religion? \n\nOh, everyone can be spiritual in some way; we are spiritual beings with \"soul\" after all.  But Jesus was quite critical of many \"religious\" people in his day. And through history I bet we\'d all agree that organized religions have done much harm to people... including at times the organized Christian church.  But on the other hand, the Bible, which I believe is an indispensable guidebook for life, says that \"Believers should not neglect gathering together\" for worship, teaching, and fellowship. So it\'s clear that Christians should be organized and share life together regularly. \n  \n7. What is your opinion of missionaries? \n\nI have met many wonderful Christian missionaries here who have sold belongings and homes back in their home country, moved across the ocean, and now live on faith that they will be able to help people and share the personal love of God with them.  But I\'ve also met a few Mission folks who seem a bit cocky at times and are perhaps enjoying their \"Pu Yai\" status too much. I think it\'s clear as we read about our model and Savior, Jesus Christ, that it\'s best to be humble, compassionate, and service-minded.

I have no issues with religious types in Chiang Mai or elsewhere, so long as they don’t come knocking uninvited or approach me outdoors with their religious ramblings. Personally, I\'ve always looked upon religion as something people who are afraid of dying clutch on to. That doesn’t mean my opinion is right, but it’s what I believe nonetheless.\n\nYou see, everything, repeat everything, mankind knows about God, any God, is written in story books by story tellers for other men to read. They call their story books holy scripts, and these scripts do have some lovely tales in them.  But most of us can \'choose\' to believe in whatever storytellers tell us, or not, as the case may be, and with the best will in the world, I just can\'t separate the stories of \'God the creator\' with those fairy-tales about tooth fairies, goblins, and mythical beasts. \n\nI once told a missionary in Chiang Mai that atheists, agnostics, and true believers all have one thing in common. He asked what that was, to which I replied, WE - DON’T - KNOW!  He then leant back and looked up at the starlit sky and stretched his arms out wide as he said out loud; \"Who then created all this?\" My answer was the same, \"We don’t know\" I said, \"Not atheist, agnostic, or true believer, ain\'t none of us know.\" I left it at that and bid him good night. ;-)\n\nAitch',1,'110.49.241.128',1,'2011-06-25 05:55:42','2012-10-28 15:30:21'),(1456,5646,'Stuart Meikle','stumeikle50@hotmail.com','UK','I took a 6 month career break from my local authority in 2007.

Sure he has a nice place, but when you\'re spending that much there is no room for error in your budgeting. More to the point, what happens when your visa expires and you have to make a border run, and you get to the month of October when you most likely won\'t be paid! Just to sweeten his deal, he had to sign a 1 year lease (so he\'s stuck, he can\'t move anywhere else) and I would imagine that he had to pay 3 months rent as a deposit, this is standard in most places. 3 x 14k = 42k, more than he earns in a month.\n\nMy point is, moderation. 10-15% of your salary is what you should be spending for rent. If you\'re doing over 20% I\'d suggest taking a long hard look at what you\'re getting. As a farang in Thailand, there will always be those unexpected expenses coming up to bite you where it hurts.

Using Rajabhat as a venue for this wouldn\'t fix the unqualified teacher problem, it would make it 10 times worse.

One reason maybe is ineffectiveness, teacher might be efficient on his/her work but he/she may not be EFFECTIVE as a whole, on the other hand a teacher might not be efficient but effective to teach for the kids...( many foreigners (farang) are considered under employed in the field of teaching, thus, they could be classified as inefficient teachers but their natural or normal conversation technique in teaching is considerably effective to the students.

But some of the comments in reply are telling indeed. Why are we helping schools promote age discrimination? In my country, that is supposed to be illegal but happens all the time. In the 19th century job seekers in Boston were greeted by signs reading, \"No Irish Need Apply.\" Black citizens could not vote or visit \"Whites Only\" places of business. Women could not apply for a \"man\'s\" job. So why is ethnic and gender discrimination not acceptable practice in the 21st century while ageism is tolerated? Even if not illegal, it is certainly unethical and if such discrimination were directed toward an applicant because of race or gender then I am certain much more would be said and done about it. Why are not schools and recruiters who engage in such hiring practices boycotted and attention brought to the media? Why are teachers not raising some hell? Let\'s lay aside the idea that ageism is acceptable practice in the TEFL industry due to cultural norms. Absolute rubbish. Tell it like it is: Ageism is practiced by schools and recruiters for reasons related to profit. They can pay a younger teacher less and write contracts more in the employer\'s favor because \"the market\" allows it. Overhead costs are lowered and profits increase.

Western cultures or Eastern cultures that are not willing (to embrace) positive (logical) change will regress. Thailand and its people have a lot of good to offer, but rigidity, a self-gratifying, arrogance or egocentric, and/or chauvinistic complacency (for all cultures and people) will (history proves it) to its fall. Look to make things better: more practical, more efficient, simpler! Isn\'t Buddhism about introspection?\n\nALL cultures can be improved.

I understand that for most schools to have a foreign teacher is quite an expense above Thai staff or possibly Phillipino teachers, but quite simply the parents demand it. The parents want to see a white face in the school or classroom sometimes regardless of how they teach. Frankly I think that is wrong and I have met African teachers who are good at their jobs. Yet their dark skin makes them “inferior” to white skinned teachers. Is it my fault – No. In fact I have found that young blond haired and blue eyed teachers are in demand for their looks and the teachers and parents like them. I sometimes has zero to do with their teaching abilities. If the same ethos was applied in the US or in the UK it would be laughable.\n\nBut of the many teachers I know here, many tell me the following. That they have to do stupid and menial activities such as gate duty. Who ever heard of a teacher doing gate duty in the UK? Maybe the principle would be there to welcome kids every so often but having it as requirement is sometimes lost on me. All well and good to be friendly and welcome the students and their parents but would they not be better off preparing for lessons. \n\nAnother problem is that everything appears to be the fault of the teacher. If the kids do not learn, it is the teachers fault. If the kids are lazy it is the teachers fault. Then Thai teachers who think they know it all and so demand that foreign teachers do this or that even when it does not work and we are often obliged to follow. I sometimes follow through on my lessons from last time and I am told that I am being lazy. In fact they did not get it the first time and so I follow through. I am then sometimes told that the students are bored. But they did not do the work that I asked them to do. I teach Mattayom 1, 2, 3 and 6 this year and the contrast is stark.  Mattayom 6 are the laziest little f……s to walk the planet. I asked Mattayom 2 and 3 to do the same work as Mattayom 6. It was about the earthquake and Japan and electricity demand and supply and I asked them where they would generate in Electricity in Thailand… all relevant to their own country. Mattayom 6 were even in groups of 4 and in the end went back to the Thai teacher and told her that it was too difficult. All the time, Mattayom 2 students could do it alone. \n\nOf all the teachers I know here, all say the same thing. The kids do not learn mostly, we are under enormous pressure to produce, and the kids have little or no responsibility. They copy wholesale, they are never taught to think. When we try to do this we are told WE are lazy and not doing our jobs. They have a no fail policy and so the kids know they can get away with murder, the Thai teachers teach them grammar until it is coming out of their a… hole and they never get it, and when we do not follow suit we are told we are being lazy. And in the end you have an education system which is largely failing. You would be lucky if 5 percent of the kids who come out of school can write a paragraph of 50 words. I see them day in and day out. The Thai teachers are too soft on them, the entire education system is designed to save face - that of the Thai teacher and the student and in the end if they cannot speak English the foreign teacher is blamed. Or in some cases they have given up from the outset and just play games until the cows come home because at least they are enjoying it.\n\nThere are teachers here from almost every country on the earth, certainly every continent and most say the same things.

They are highly sensitive, easily offended, and want to play the most trivial games subjects – music and art and when we actually try to do our jobs and get them to teach we are told we are too serious.

When it comes to the workplace conservative is the general rule. \n\nAt my last job I was told that I needed to wear my hair back as wearing it down was too \'sexy\'... (by the way my hair is straight, mousy brown and only reaches to just past my shoulders). Skirts had to be below the knee (no trousers allowed) and a collared shirt with sleeves (nothing tight or revealing). Other schools will have varying dress standards, but be prepared to follow a dress code that will include instructions about hair, makeup and jewellery. \n\nIt sounds like your hair style is a bit different and it will probably get in the way of you securing a good job (eg. pay and conditions) in Thailand. You definitely would not be employed by a private language school, not because of your influence on the kids, but because you would not be portraying the \'high society\' image that generally reflects their customer base. \n\nGovernment schools might be more accommodating depending on who is the director of the school or foreign teacher coordinator.

This article really threw cold water on my considering moving from Beijing to Thailand to teach English. My willingness to tolerate the never ending pollution, increase in cost of living, building boom, etc. has been slipping lately. From what I read here I should be thanking my lucky stars I have it so good compared to some others. Glad to read it though. I had no idea Thailand is so biased against the older than 50 crowd. I`m 55 and I`ve been teaching English here for the past 7 years. I went from working at various language schools in the Beginning to only doing my own private classes now and making good money. Around 80,000 baht for 15 - 20 hours a week. I`m entrepreneur minded though so not the path for everyone. \n\nWhat I would like to say though to those of you over 50 who can`t find work is that maybe you should seriously consider China. English teachers here are still in high demand. Especially if you know what you are doing. Native English speakers fresh off the plane with no experience are finding it harder to get work as people are demanding more. Almost everyday I get emails about job vacancies. \n\nThe going rate at language training schools or jobs without contracts and benefits is anywhere between 450 - 900 baht an hour (1 RMB = 4.5 baht +,-) However, the price of housing keeps going up and up. Probably need 3500-5000rmb/month for a 1 bedroom fully furnished apartment. However, there are lots of schools that provide all the benefits: visa, health ins., accommodations, paid vacation, return trip, etc. if you sign a 1-year contract. The pay there is maybe 10-15,000rmb/mo. for maybe 4-5 x 40 minute classes x 5 days a week.\n\nI know it may be unsettling to have to pack up and move to a new culture but in this day and age when things are always changing so much you have to go where the work is. Also the visa rules here are as well. Now to get a 30 day extension on a 30 day visitor`s visa you have to get an official statement from a bank saying you have at least 20,000rmb(90,000baht) on deposit to get a 30 day renewal.

I do not say this often but I actually agree with just about everything here. What gets me is that since I\'ve been here for 10-years and I\'ve always had an apartment within 10-minutes walking distance from my school/job. I\'ve always relocated to one of those 1-room apartments with a small balcony. They were always partly furnished, a bed with a smelly mattress, a TV cabinet minus the TV, a wardrobe and one time I got really lucky and had a table in one of the apartments.

The part that gets to me is that I\'ve been living in a townhouse now for the last 4-years and this house is located in a private village about a 10-minute ride from The Mall Bangkae. This village is very quiet and clean and has no type of street vendors except for the mobile ones that come everyday selling their goods and then leave. I am paying 5,000 a month for the 3-story/bedroom townhouse with a back yard (however very small twice the size of a bathroom) and a front yard with gates that swing open to park the car (although the streets are wide enough for two parked cars opposite each other and still drive between them). Did I mention about the community center 2-min. walking distance from my home with a pool (I haven\'t yet tried), tennis courts etc. \n\nAlso my electric is about 3,000 a month and that isn\'t bad considering I was paying about the same with those huge markups to the apartment management offices and now I pay directly to Egat or whatever. Oh no furniture but a very good price if you want  your space along with living in a more civilized community not much traffic or those so called jams. All in all a super great value here and I\'m here for life. Screw those apartment building managers who tack on 7-10% on the water & electric bills plus the fee for the sleeping security officer and the old lady who mops the hallway floors on the last day of each month using the same water from the previous month.

A competent teacher keeps meticulous grades to inform a parent or administrator of a student\'s current grade at ANY TIME, not only at the end of semester.

In my experience, and having a degree in an unrelated field, I have found teachers to be very different (almost naive) from professionals in other fields.

For me, I usually end up teaching summer camp to make extra money.  This still leaves me with more than a month off, so in my mind it\'s still pretty awesome.  \n\nI agree that working all year to get 2 weeks off is depressing.  Those of us in Asia are lucky, in that, great travel destinations are not very far away.  If you\'re in NA and planning a holiday in Thailand, the flight alone will set you back quite a bit.  Add on to that hotel, transportation, entertainment, etc...and you\'re looking at a fair chunk of money.\n\nIn the end I think it\'s all a balancing act.  Enjoy your holiday time, but also try to be responsible and think about the future (working summer camps can help with retirement, for example).\n\nJust my observations.',1,'184.22.233.178',1,'2011-08-17 00:21:01','2011-08-17 08:17:41'),(1653,5986,'Chris','chrishenryfagan@hotmail.com','Rayong','Man it seems like this school is doing all it can to accommodate you.

Our hotel was exactly 3 minutes from the beach up Petchkasem road, but we still had to pay the mandatory 100 baht!

Few things in the world bring only good, in fact the world is full of tradeoff where we have to take the good with the bad in our choices and judge based on overall effect.\n\nI strongly feel my life has been greatly enhanced by my interactions with people from other cultures and international travel; although I also know there have been a few uncomfortable moments. Yet the overall effect has been positive. \n\nI suspect the lives of our students who are learning English are also having their lives enhanced by increased interactions with those from other cultures and increased international opportunities.\n\nAs English is the lingua franca of international travel and trade, teaching them English allows our students to engage more efficiently in the wider world. I can not see how removing these opportunities of increased international contacts for our students would make their lives or their societies better. \n\nWhile of course there are few remaining anti-globalization activists around (driven by ideology and not evidence), it is a near unanimous if not unanimous conclusion of all serious researchers on poverty reduction, those with right and left leaning, as well as those from both the West and developing economies (e.g. Sachs, Sen, Becker, Prahalad, Vanderberg, Son, Ali, Yunnas, Zhuang and so many others), that economic growth driven by the private sector and openness to the world’s economy have been and will continue to be the greatest drivers of poverty reduction. Poverty reduction specialists may disagree on details, but accept the overwhelming evidence that history has shown us that open societies with vibrant private sectors have done far more in reducing poverty than have closed societies where the economy has been dominated by the state.\n\nBut one does not have to have read all the academic and empirical reports to know this. Looking around the evidence is overwhelming. Starting in the 70s, Thailand was on a path to openness to the old world’s economies which saw the life expectancy and child mortality of the country go from rates similar to those found in sub-Saharan Africa to those of today which are close to those of a developed economy. While next door, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge closed its borders to foreign trade and interactions with devastating effects.\n\nToday, we see Myanmar-Burma, a country that used to have a more developed economy than Thailand, closed off from international trade through both economic sanctions and the country’s own policies resulting in increasing the poverty in the country, one of the few places in the world, alongside Zimbabwe and North Koreas which have also tried to limit and restrict the role of private businesses and international trade, that has an increasing percentage of its population in poverty.\n\nIf there was any doubt left, the experiences of China and Vietnam in poverty reduction after opening their economies to international trade should remove all doubt that there is some causation between the activities of private enterprises, international trade and investment and poverty reduction.\n\nAcademic evidence, common sense and personal experience all make me reject your arguments that those of us in international education do not make a positive (although limited) impact on the world.\n\nCheers\n\nScott',0,'218.28.247.138',1,'2011-09-11 23:41:56','2011-09-12 09:51:07'),(1698,6284,'Thailand Villas','jameskendrickbis@gmail.com','Thailand','I had a job interview recently at what seemed to be a really good international school here in Phnom Penh.

What proportion of learners of English in Thailand are paid-up members of the international bourgeoisie? 10%? Less? Even if they live the same life a dozen times over, most of the other 90% aren’t going to have the slightest interest in international trade and commerce. Their trade and commerce is exchanging a day’s labour for minimum wage at 7/11 or, for the high-flyers, avoiding the soul-destroying tedium of endless days in a provincial government office. And the only international opportunities which most are likely to come across is marriage to lonely and socially dysfunctional middle-aged men in some God-forsaken backwater of the West. They’re not having a fruitful intercultural exchange when they’re learning English; they’re learning their place in the domestic - and their country’s place in the international - pecking order. Of course, they’ll be a few for whom this isn’t true and there’s always the comforting and reassuring presence of an English-speaking elite which usually presents itself as encouragingly liberal and open-minded (talk of domestic politics aside) but for many, a lot of the time, the best that can be hoped for from learning English is that it does no actual harm. That’s not to say that the fault is entirely with learning English; the fault is predominately with an education system which is geared toward maintaining certain social and ideological structures but if you’re working in that system, unless you’re extremely careful, every morning at assembly you too are working to maintain those social and ideological structures.\n\nAs for free trade, sure it brings benefits but it does so at a price (and proponents of free trade have a goldfish-like memory for these failures). It’s of course true that 100s of millions of Chinese are materially better off as members of the industrial proletariat than they were as peasant farmers but it’s not just South Koreas which free trade creates (if, in fact, free trade did create South Korea). Mexico is going through the most appalling internal trials because of NAFTA, free trade - amongst other things - has turned Haiti into a basket case and there is no shortage of sub-Saharan countries which have listened far too closely and attentively to the free trade nostrums of the IMF and the World Bank. And within countries, free trade isn’t just the royal road to a land of Gaysorn’s and Centrals (though for the lucky, that’s certainly one place where it does lead). It’s also leads to dispossession and rootlessness and unemployment and social upheaval and deprivation. \n\nBut you’re right that you don’t need to study economists to know this (and perhaps it’s not such a good idea anyway. I saw in The Guardian the other day economists described as ‘a specialist hybrid of charlatan and witch doctor’ and it is undoubtedly a ‘science’ which will in the future be filed alongside alchemy). I’m surrounded by garlic farmers who can no longer sell their product because they’re undercut by Chinese imports. I’m sure when they get back from the fields and crack open their Ricardo they comfort themselves with thoughts of comparative advantage and how much better it is to get into debt, sell their land and work on a building site in Bangkok (destined no doubt to be another luxury shopping centre from which they will be banned from entering) but you have to wonder why it is that the flag of free trade is always waved by bankers and financiers and capitalists and economists who all the while claim it’s going to free the poor from poverty, while organizations that are actually made up of the poor say something that’s remarkably close to being its exact opposite. When, for example, was the last time you saw La Via Campesina calling on the WTO to speed up its work or on the IMF to push through a few more structural adjustment programs?

The elite (and/or the military), even in the Western World, resists change too, but there are more democratic ways (media, unions, ombudsmen, fair elections,...) to RESTRICT them from acting like BIG bullies. They are a force no matter what because they have economic and political powers. I think in countries that are developing change is even tougher to occur. Look at how the elite project themselves on TV with those soap operasI I know many Thai teachers who cannot or don\'t want to speak English. Where they from those rich families who could afford a good education (or complain their way to get the right diploma) and benefit from those networks that get you jobs without having to compete with others? I think they are. I see many Thais from lower classes who can speak English and try harder. Of course, they probably did not get many breaks in life and, as usual, worked harder to get where they are. They would like change to occur. Of course, the situation gets even more perverted when the elite pretend or claim that change will occur, but the changes are superficial or not taking place at all. And, that takes place not only in developing countries, but also in developed countries (perhaps to a lesser degree). I have been crying over reforming the spelling of English for years.

For example, if you provided word processing on one job, did filing on another job, and acted as a receptionist someplace else, these activities could be listed under the heading of Office Skills. In addition, unpaid experience may be listed in the same way. \nThis is just but one way of writing a winner resume that can stand the test of this ever competitive job market.\n\nKeep in mind that what will give you the job is what you can do differently from what has always being done, in terms of innovation through your experince and capabilities coupled with your interpersonal behaviour and your ability to bring positive change..\nMy dear friend, i will leave it here for now and hope to hear from you.\nBy the way, i don\'t think there is anything like a flawless resume.

Thailand remains one of the few countries where foreigners with very few qualifications, and in quite a few cases no qualifications at all, are able to land FT teaching positions within the mainstream system. I mean, what do people expect? With such low requirements the country is hardly likely to be a world leader in the field of education,is it? If it was, then things would be rather different and 95% of the farangs currently working here wouldn\'t be able to do so. We shouldn\'t forget how lucky we are. A 4 week intensive course and hey presto - you are now a qualified English teacher. Many Thai teachers are committed professionals with qualifications coming out their ears and yet they still have to accept the fact that they are going to earn a fraction of what the the TEFL course qualified farang is getting.\n\nHaving said this, The stories like the ones on here and others that you hear on the  grapevine still never cease to amaze me. It also continues to shock me at just how short sighted, unrealistic and naive some schools can be. I recently saw an advertisement for a position in an \'International school\'. They needed somebody who was fully qualified to teach GCSEs, in other words, someone with QTS. They were offering the princely sum of 33K per month. I mean, who are they trying to kid?! DREAM ON!!!  I have no doubt that they will end up employing someone with a BA (if they are very lucky) and a 4 week TEFL course cert that was obtained from a language school on a beach somewhere down in the Islands. \n\nThere is no doubt that thailand is behind, way behind. But the fault lies with the system and the people who run the schools. I\'m sorry, but you try putting 55 kids of ANY nationality in a small room all day long - you are GOING to have problems. Many of the kids that you meet here are wonderful, bright, highly respectful and intelligent young people who are simply being stifled in their current environment. It is a great shame. For me the worst part is just the general acceptance of the situation -the  \'that\'s just the way it is\" attitude. Of course, the general population don\'t know any better, and having 55 mixed ability teens in the classroom of a \'top, private school\' is perfectly normal.',1,'49.229.233.16',1,'2011-10-30 07:31:41','2011-10-30 16:57:08'),(1766,6080,'rich','richbest@gmail.com','Nowhere','@ Deville, where on earth did you find a decent apartment in Krung Thep for 3k?',1,'94.1.164.240',1,'2011-10-31 06:53:52','2011-10-31 14:44:53'),(1767,6588,'Hippolite','hippo1967@gmail.com','Bangkok','FCOL man these kids didn\'t know about Hitler and World War 2.

Whether you\'re in a condo or a house, 1m of water surrounding the immediate area is enough to send most people running for the hills, even if there is no specific property damage or an implied threat of such damage occurring.\n\nI live in a house in Nonthaburi and I\'ve had several almost-gloating messages from people I know saying how glad they are to have chosen a condo and not a house, coupled with references about how they\'ve always felt that living lower than 4 meters above the ground in Thailand was a bad idea.\n\nWell, maybe so, but what if next year Bangkok experiences it\'s worst earthquake crisis in x years and all the condos come crashing down? Don\'t think it could happen? Neither did the Japanese. That didn\'t stop a once-in-150-years event from occurring and devastating a huge area, though. There is no absolute defense against mother nature. If she decides to come after you, she\'ll get you, regardless of where you live.\n\nBangkok has a ridiculous oversupply of condos and this crisis isn\'t going to make a dent in it. \n\nMy advice to would-be condo hunters is that if you\'re thinking of renting or buying a condo, take your time and don\'t make any rash decisions. It\'s a buyers market and it always will be.

The article told Yingluck to follow in the footstep of the Japanese prime minister in the aftermath of the tsunami by accepting responsibility and resigning.\"\n\nIt also goes on to ask why foreign investors were pandered to instead of Thai people whose needs were ignored:\n\n\"The government should have displayed sympathy to the deceased and prepared a national day of mourning.

If you don\'t know the difference then you are not \'qualified\' to teach in a classroom in Thailand.\n\nOn the point of qualifications can somebody tell me why I would require a \'qualified\' or \'certified\' teacher from a NES country?\nMy point is that in a NES country I wouldn\'t employ a math teacher to teach chemistry. I wouldn\'t employ an English teacher to teach I.T. and I wouldn\'t employ a French or Spanish teacher to teach sports. For some strange reason though, we get the myth thrown around that a \'qualified\' or \'certified\' teacher of any discipline in a NES country is perfect for teaching English to Thai students.\n\nWhy? Even a \'qualified\' English teacher from England is not actually qualified to teach English to Thai students in Thailand. English is taught as a foreign language in Thailand, not a native language.\n(This is why there is no ESL in Thailand. ESL exists only in native English speaking environments and Thailand is not one of these.) \n\nSo the real and only qualifications for teaching English in Thailand are TEFL, TESOL, CELTA / DELTA, S.I.T. qualifications and preferably a Master\'s in TESOL.\n\nThe degree requirement in Thailand is purely for administrative purposes dreamed up by the Thai authorities. It has no bearing on the ability of the individual to teach English as a foreign language.\n\nMy old English teacher back home, though a wonderful teacher and a fine gentleman, could not have taught Thai students because he\'s not a foreign language teacher. His qualifications were aimed at teaching English in his own country to native English speakers, not as a foreign language and not to students of other cultures.\n\nSo any ideas that D. Burke has do not apply readily to Thai students, particularly the outdated and non-scientific work of Piaget from the 1950s.\n\nFor the record, these are the only English qualifications for teaching English to English learners that are not native English speakers.  CELTA, DELTA, S.I.T. or a Master\'s in TESOL. Anything else is a lower standard of TESOL qualification  or completely irrelevant to teaching English in Thailand or any other non-English speaking country.\n\n\nThe question of \'failing students\' is laughable. Standards are set by setting exams, tests and coursework to be completed fairly by the students in any educational establishment. The students achieve grades in each of these as they complete them. Therefore the students\' motivation, commitment and ability determines what is achieved by the students. They fail or they succeed. If most of the class score high grades but ten per cent achieve low grades then who is responsible for those low grades? It is quite clear that the student is responsible for their low achievement. If the majority of the class achieve low grades then surely the teaching methodology would and should be questioned to find out why. The idea that a teacher just decides to fail a student or maybe I\'ll give him a pass or maybe something else reflects a system that was wrong to begin with. Set the standards, make the students aware of what is expected of them and let them take responsibility for their actions while the school monitors the teachers\' methods. \n\nWe know that grades are massaged in Thailand in an upwards direction. It\'s called cheating. It allows students to absolve themselves of responsibility year after year and make failure and cheating a part of their school lives. Is it any wonder that so much corruption and failure to take responsibility exists in Thailand generally with a school system that promotes these negative points?\n\nOne suspects D. Burke may be exorcising the ghosts of his or her own low self esteem at school with these selectively used pieces of research, if you call Piaget\'s work research of course. Most people know that he started something and that is all. The real research followed Piaget\'s lazy evenings with his children.\n\nThailand will muddle through, applying its unique logic and culture to education as it corrupts the young so that they don\'t really see the political corruption as something to be ashamed of. They don\'t fail students here anyway, as we know. They save face and pass them on to the next level and everyone is happy, no low self esteem and little achievement too.

The writer skims the surface of truth but fails to tell the whole story; so his piece, in my view, falls short, and comes off as a slightly amusing yet shamefully slanted portrayal of the sort of life he trying to write about.\n\nMy comments were hardly discrediting, nor did they in any way invalidate the true experiences of the writer. My comment may have been in the form of a subtle criticism, but that\'s the risk we take as writers when we put our work out there for everyone to read.\n\nAnd comments are part of the process of writing. If you can\'t take the heat, why bother writing in the first place. To be a good writer, one must have a strong point of view. Writing is, after all, one of the greatest expressions of self-indulgence.\n\nWriting at its finest is also a collaborative process; the writer can either seek benefit from my comments or toss them aside.

At least in regards to the writer’s piece here on Ajarn.\n\nTo Keith, a comment like that shows a rather pitiful lack of intelligence. The phrase \"get a life\" is one of the tritest clichés used in forums and comment sections today. Using that phase to diss a perfect online stranger is not only childish but also shows a clear lack of both intellect and imagination.\n\nOf course I have a life. My wife is Thai and I teach English in China. I made 102K Thai Baht (based on today’s rate exchange) last month, and earn 828 Thai Baht per 50-minute teaching session, tax free, in my current job. If I sound like a braggart, that fine, but I’ve paid my dues as an EFL teacher and got my 120-h TESOL certificate in Thailand.\n\nI’ve taught a bit in Thailand, in-between jobs when I wasn’t in Korea, Vietnam, or China. I\'ve never taught in a school in Thailand that was located in a big shopping mall, but I worked for Wall Street English in China for one year, at a center skirting one of the biggest malls in Shenzhen. It was a good job for me and although there are always better gigs I\'d never write about my experience there in the sassy way the writer here did.

I wish there were more of them.\n\nI completely agree with steveromagnino who said on Thaivisa.com:\n\n\"Apparently, as long as you win an election you can do what you want. Now, in the past, aside from cheating in his asset declaration, Thaksin also hushed up his son cheating at University; alledgedly \'influenced officials\' to get his daughter into Chula despite lack of grades; fiddled the legislation to increase family wealth approx 3X in 5 years; drove media freedom in Thailand down from 46th to 100+ in transparency/freedom of the press; held cabinet meetings with no notes; oversaw the war on drugs; destabilised the south and stuffed up the chicken flu, tsunami and even the purchase of Liverpool.

My blog was about the people at the lower end of the scale, and how they are regularly left to fend for themselves. In terms of inferiority, I\'d say the amata, the political class, are no less or no more inferior than other politicians of their ilk. And that has nothing to do with being Thai. Again something you have arrived at all on your own.\n\nOne last point - \"You actually liked how he seamlessly incorporated his support of the leftist fringe elements of UK politics\".

I will post it below, from his website, and let the readers be the judge of whether Thais have a high or low level of uncertainty avoidance:\n\nUncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI) deals with a society\'s tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity; it ultimately refers to man\'s search for Truth. It indicates to what extent a culture programs its members to feel either uncomfortable or comfortable in unstructured situations. Unstructured situations are novel, unknown, surprising, different from usual. Uncertainty avoiding cultures try to minimize the possibility of such situations by strict laws and rules, safety and security measures, and on the philosophical and religious level by a belief in absolute Truth; \'there can only be one Truth and we have it\'. People in uncertainty avoiding countries are also more emotional, and motivated by inner nervous energy. The opposite type, uncertainty accepting cultures, are more tolerant of opinions different from what they are used to; they try to have as few rules as possible, and on the philosophical and religious level they are relativist and allow many currents to flow side by side. People within these cultures are more phlegmatic and contemplative, and not expected by their environment to express emotions.\n\nNotice the section dealing with rules and regulations: \"Uncertainty avoiding cultures try to minimize the possibility of such situations by strict laws and rules, safety and security measures.\" Do you really think that Thailand has strict \"safety and security measures\"? Surely you jest! One only has to cite the lax building standards for electrical wiring to refute that one. Do you know how many times in the past year Thailand\'s trains have had accidents due to poor track maintenance and brake failures due to substandard parts and servicing? Look at all the buses and trucks driving around with worn out shock absorbers. This is a fatalistic culture that doesn\'t put much stock in safety standards and preventive maintenance. I don\'t know where the data showing that Thailand has a high level of uncertainty avoidance comes form, but it is wrong, wrong, wrong!\n\nBTW, my Ph.D. is in Psychology (24 years post doctorate from the University of Washington) and I teach Hostede\'s 5 cultural dimensions in my Industrial and Organizational Psychology class each and every semester at MUIC, so put that in your pipe and smoke it!',0,'125.27.73.243',1,'2011-11-18 03:27:03','2011-11-18 15:47:16'),(1857,6679,'Keith','odevans@hotmail.com','Nigeria','Hi Eunice,\nI would like to respond to your comment regarding Native English Speakers complaining all of the time!

As you stated, everyone struggles with motivation at some point. I teach M1-M3 students, and I experience similar challenges with motivating my students.\n\nMy techniques for motivating students are similar to your techniques. I keep students engaged with material that is relevant to their lives. It can be a challenge to teach Excel to M1 students, and keep them engaged and enjoying the class. Finding ideas that get them interested in the topic is my first step.\n\nI like your use of the “three stars” to get to play the game at the end of class. I employ a similar system. If the class is able to “hold it together” for the class time, I will provide some form of reward in the form of an English language game such as Hangman. If we are in the computer lab, I will give them time to play on the BBC educational websites (http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/ or http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/ depending on grade level). They’re great sites with lots of educational material and games, and the fair majority of students tend to enjoy them.\n\nInevitably, I have at least one student who approaches me each term, and tells me they have no interest in learning, being in school, or doing any form of work. Similar to you, I have to find out what the student likes and doesn’t like. Most students thoroughly enjoy playing in Photoshop. Whatever they might like to do, like you, I’ll tie that in as a reward for good behavior. \n\nAt any rate, motivating students is an effort that requires time and patience.

This requires people who are well educated and resourceful, and I feel if Thailand wants to be anything like a leader in the future, it must change some aspects of the culture that interfere with educational progress.  It doesn\'t have  to of  course, if it feels it is too much a sacrifice-  but if it doesn\'t, it will always be a follower, or an easy mark for smarter, more results-oriented countries.

I have a few questions for you.\n\nFirst, what is the problem with “letting them off easy”\n\nAre “they” accountable to you? Do you think they (Thais) feel the need to seek your approval for their values and actions?\n\n“Is this culture ready to be competitive in the global market?”\n\nDo you think being competitive in a global market is the primary goal of the majority of citizens of a country with a culture that is at least partially based on Theravada Buddhist values which stresses the highest level of personal development is to give up all earthly and material desires?\n\nCan or should we expect people from a different culture to have all of the same values we as westerners do? Are you sure your (and my) culturally influenced values of competitiveness and materialism are superior to the Thai values of social harmony and moderation? I haven’t abandoned my western values after many years working in Asia but I am also not convinced the world would automatically be a better place if everyone thought like I do.  \n\nYou are hardly the first ESL teacher to express harsh criticism of Thai culture, but personal experience and most research on expatriates in other professionals seem to indicate by taking a less judgmental attitude to your new surroundings it would improve the probability of having more success and getting more out of your overseas experience, but of course you are free to ignore my advice :).  \n\nI don\'t remember ever being told in any job I held in Thailand (or any other country) my duties including judging or changing the cultural values.',0,'218.28.247.136',1,'2011-12-06 06:58:18','2011-12-06 14:00:01'),(1904,6933,'J','fongtaiyuk@hotmail.com','BKK','No, I\'m not hired to change culture either.  I just find the existing culture gets in the way of results.  All the time.\n\nSorry, I had a bad day and maybe I am being more spiteful than usual.  Actually though, yes, my students do owe me the respect of me being a) an adult and b) a teacher (arrogant?  No, only what I keep hearing all the time is an aspect of Thai culture).\n\nThe fact is, it is very difficult to learn a language in the class time I teach.  Thai culture (everything must be fun, don\'t be too serious, talk all the time etc) works against the learning of a language.  No, you can\'t be serious all the time, but I haven\'t met a student yet who could speak very good English and who wasn\'t also a conscientious, hard-working, and, yes, serious student.  All the ones who are really fun loving and don\'t like working hard tend to have wasted their time, as they leave having learned very little.  \n\nI would imagine this scenario can be seen in other subjects- the students who go against the grain of perceived cultural traits are the ones who get a lot out of the subject.  Maybe I\'m just not a very good teacher.  However, I\'ve noticed this with other students I have not taught- the best students are always the least \"Thai\", as per the fun-loving stereotype.\n\nAlso, the idea that most Thai people are really Buddhist is highly debatable.  Obviously in terms of what they call themselves, they are Buddhist, but I hardly think it meets even my basic understanding of Buddhism.  And the idea that Thais are not motivated in a large part by material wealth and possession (to an even greater extent than many western cultures) is debatable, too.  \n\nI also take exception to the idea that Asian culture focuses more on community and moderation than western cultures; I just don\'t see that in my area (and I live up country, not in a westernised city).  Where is the evidence that there is more cohesion and middle way thinking in Nakhon Sawan, say, than New Mexico?  From what I can see, gossip is the order of the day, and keeping up with the Joneses is deeply entrenched.\n\nFinally, I would suggest that Thais seem to want to do business in the global community.  If this is indeed the case, they have to knuckle down a bit.  Is that an unreasonable expectation?  The world doesn\'t have the same beliefs as Thailand, in the main, and therefore, if they want to be a part of it, as they say they do, they are the ones who must change.  If I can offer any insight or perspective to my students to prepare them for this, I don\'t think this is a bad thing.\n\nThese are just my own beliefs, and if I come across as unreasonable, sorry.  Maybe I\'m too set in my ideas of trying hard.

However, this seems to be primarily a money making exercise, and then an excuse to trumpet Thai culture as being superior, without ever criticizing any of the associated aspects.  Hours and hours of ridiculous dancing and things that don\'t impact your job, a rubbish attempt to teach Thai language which violates all the standards of teaching a language that you learn on a TEFL course, and no real effort spent to address shortfalls in the Thai education system other than the idea it is a \"different culture\".  Yes, we know that.  \n\nI do think it is quite objectionable to think if we don\'t agree with Thai culture in education, it must obviously be our fault.  If someone tries to stop someone else from continually hitting their head against a wall, do you blame the first person for not trying to understand the second person\'s motivations?   \n\nI also find it objectionable to think that we didn\'t do any research prior to starting.

I came back from Mexico, teaching there three months and my experience there is similar to what this author mentions. Here\'s the thing: I noticed in Mexico that there are a lot of people teaching without a background in teaching per se but only with a TEFL credential OR teachers with education or credentials who maybe just accept the low standards and low stress to earn the easy money. My pay was horrible and by the time i found a decent job, $1100 per month, teaching at an elementary school, I was a bit suspicious. In my orientation, I noted that the instruction was totally controlled by the administration to the degree that they told you what to teach almost each day, and even how to teach. In Mexico, I concluded this is how everything is: no respect for professionals, no creativity, no thinking. You are told what to do and that\'s what they expect. I could give you examples but will not take your time here. I liked this article because i was thinking of going to teach in Thailand but now have second thoughts. I am beginning to realize that teaching in the vast majority of these countries for a REAL professional who is passionate about teaching and kids learning is nearly a waste of time. Hopefully Europe is different. i suspect Japan is. Maybe Korea although I have heard bad things about the culture there. Those who criticize this take may be the same type culprits I talked to in Mexico with a mindset that everything \" was just dandy, don\'t worry, don\'t rock the boat, accept the different culture, take the money and run\" kind of mentality. And believe me, I SAW and witnessed that a lot. Thanks for the warning, I appreciate it. I have been told that I can get a job in certain countries where they respect professionals and will pay them well. I think I am going to just fly there and find work which, I have been told, is the best way. Again thanks.

People such as sanctimonious David, who says, \"First, I agree that those with fake degrees should be exposed when and where possible,\" can\'t even write simple, correct English! Yes, we all know it\'s easy to commit an error or two when typing stuff out—I think we all understand that. But it is certainly no typo, when you are ignorant of the difference between \"there\" and \"their;\" and the verb \"to practise\" is spelled with an S no matter whether you\'re British or American! This is BASIC, primary-level English knowledge—I remember learning these things in Grade III.\n\nI don\'t lightly criticize an educated person for their grammatical deficiencies (in their native language!); I only mean to point out the fierce absurdity of taking a conservative position on this question of degree qualifications. While studying pure and applied science, I knew many classmates who graduated without ever knowing many basic concepts that are stipulated as required knowledge for a 1st- or 2nd-year student. In broad terms, the situation is extremely simple: in formal education, it is quite possible to pass the majority of your subjects by learning to \"sing the song\" at assessment time. It\'s a sad, stark fact—a law of the university universe—that plenty of people have a prestigious qualification without having gained the depth of understanding implied by that qualification. No, of course not all. Maybe not even most. But plenty. And plenty is bad enough.\n\nThe only conclusion that makes sense is that qualifications—of any type—should be viewed (like everything else on the planet) in PERSPECTIVE. Each prospective teacher should be considered on the best available picture of their merit, and that means breadth. Insisting on some nominal, so-called \"standard\" of quality that is implemented as a one-dimensional policy—eg, a simplistic requirement for teachers to have degrees—is just a foolish delusion, as you will invariably allow some lazy fakers into the system, while denying access to other, perfectly competent, passionate people—thus wasting perfectly good teaching resources!\n\nAs my girlfriend routinely asks me: \"khao jai mai?\" :)',1,'180.183.65.9',1,'2012-01-13 02:25:09','2012-01-13 11:10:31'),(1960,6679,'Henry','henryrearden@hotmail.com','Bangkok','I remember that ladyboy sales assistant at the Boots there at Times Square.

There is a lot of food for thought in it. I believe that foreign English teachers in Thailand (whether a so-called \'TEFLer\' on gap year at a Thai government school or a visiting \'Ajarn\' at a university..or any other iteration) do well to make a habit of \'stepping back\' from the specifics of their particular classrooms and survey the \'big picture\' -the \'hows\' and \'whys\' (and perhaps \'ifs\')- of the evolving character and function of the English language in Thailand. If nothing else, it helps to imbue a very often challenging endeavor with perhaps a bit more meaning -and hopefully sense of value and worth- on those days when \'all seems lost\'. We can then better avoid the burnt-out cynicism that we so often encounter online or in our staffrooms and/or experience ourselves as teachers \'facing all...THIS\'. Because, without meaning to sound too grandiose, we as English teachers ARE involved in something far more consequential and weighty and historically relevant than your average person. We ourselves are nodes, points of connection, in an unprecedented process of global change. We\'re doing a job that is truly much \'bigger than ourselves\". And so it\'s absolutely necessary to be able to \'step back\' and appreciate the scope of the project and our limited, but essential piece of it. \n\nWhy do we so often feel like we\'re \'teaching uphill\' in Thailand? Are we wrong to imagine a kind of overall cultural positivity to learning and speaking English...that seems entirely absent around us? It so often seems like our students culture and society itself does NOT \'have their back\' in the process of learning this international language. And when we hear a Thai Education Minister explain his opposition to recognizing English as an official language because it would presumably be nothing more important than a force for the dissemination of lies and misunderstanding...well...we can only tip our hat to the cynic across the table. \n\nBut not taking such things at face value, and giving ourselves the space to dig a bit deeper is good. Your article compares Thailand\'s shaky relationship to English with Japan\'s history of ambivalence. If we looked further, I think we\'d find numerous examples of countries wrestling in not-so-graceful ways with the \'challenge\' of becoming bilingual societies. A bilingual society...while we\'re \'stepping back\', here\'s an activity in visualization: imaging our home countries easily applying a policy that expected a functionally fluent bilingual population. Wow. In America? Wow...\n\nThe point is not to \'excuse\' Thailand for its sometimes ridiculous seeming approach to what is clearly an important - nay, necessary - new mandate. But simply to have some perspective (which is what this article gives -- in so much contrast to the \'rants\' we often read in the letters section of this site and elsewhere). As English teachers in Thailand, especially as a primarily casual, non-advanced degree\'d, second career type teacher community, need a steady diet of this...perspective. \n\nYour final rumination on what accounts for Thai pundit\'s expressions of seemingly outsized fears that the English language brings with it the seeds of Thai cultural death is intriguing and I hope you follow up this article with more...perspective. \n\nWe don\'t need rants. We don\'t even really need opinions. What we before any of that is more perspective.

Forget your grammar and bring into the classroom a set of bingo cards instead . . . . . the students will be happy and if the students are happy the parents will be happy. If the parents are happy they’ll keep paying the school and somewhere along the line you’ll be given a little bit of it to struggle by on, be seen as a good, conforming ‘teacher’ and will have no more problems.\n\nIf however, you do look on yourself as a teacher and especially for the older ones amongst us, why put up with it? Granted, Thailand to me is the nicest place to live in but not to work. How about the oil states, or China, or up and coming Vietnam?

I used to teach in Thailand and I see boatloads of foreigners leaving. One day I hope the Thai government will realize that entertainment and falsifying exam results might be part of the reason that Thailand is the bottom of the league table in education.

This sort of attitude only reaffirms suspicions that some whites are quite resentful of blacks (and perhaps others of \'color\') coming to Thailand for whatever purpose.\n\nAlong those lines, also pointed out above are anecdotes of white people in Thailand giving blacks hateful stares and whatnot. For many years now, white people from Europe as well as countries from America have been at the \'top\' of the pecking order in Thailand.

I absolutely despise any state school that “penny pinches” regarding the wages and/or tightens screws to make working conditions more slave like – for such I often wonder who is filling their pockets at the teacher’s expense and who gets sadistic kicks from watching foreigners suffer. I can however, have some sympathy for private employers that are cutting costs because times are hard (not if things are going great and they just want to shaft the employee).\n\nOK, for many years I have been keeping eyes on such matters and the following is MY view of the law and how this matter could go. The legally qualified teacher has some valid points, but this is Thailand and things could also get nasty.\n\nThis is the Thai Labour Protection Act 1998 regarding severance:\n\nSection 118\nAn employer shall pay severance pay to an employee whose employment is terminated, as\nfollows:\n(1) An employee who has worked for at least 120 consecutive days, but for less\nthan one year shall be paid basic pay for not less than 30 days at the most\nrecent rate of basic pay received by him or not less than the basic pay he\nreceived for work performed in the last 30 days in respect of an employee who\nis rewarded on the basis of his output;\n(2) An employee who has worked continuously for at least one year but less than\nthree years shall be paid basic pay for not less than 90 days at the most recent\nrate of basic pay received by him or not less than the basic pay for work\nperformed in the last 90 days in respect of an employee who is rewarded on the\nbasis of his output;\n(3) An employee who has worked consecutively for at least three years but less than\nsix years shall be paid basic pay for not less than 180 days at the most recent\nrate of basic pay received by him or not less than the basic pay for work\nperformed in the last 180 days in respect of an employee who is rewarded on\nthe basis of his output;\n (4) An employee who has worked consecutively for at least six years but less than\n10 years shall be paid basic pay for not less than 240 days at the most recent\nrate of basic pay received by him or not less than the basic pay for work\nperformed in the last 240 days in respect of an employee who is rewarded on\nthe basis of his output;\n(5) An employee who has worked for more than 10 years consecutively shall be paid\nbasic pay for not less than 300 days at the most recent rate of basic pay\nreceived by him or not less than the basic pay for work performed in the last\n300 days in respect of an employee who is rewarded on the basis of his output.\nTermination of employment in this Section shall mean any act of an employer which\nprevents an employee from continuing to work and receive his basic pay therefore,\nwhether due to the termination of an employment contract or for any other reason, and\nshall include the situation where an employee cannot work and be paid because the\nemployer can no longer operate its business.\nThe provisions of Paragraph 1 shall not apply to an employee whose period of employment\nis of a fixed duration and whose employment is terminated at the expiration of that\nduration.\nEmployment of a fixed duration referred to in Paragraph 3 shall be said to exist in the case\nof employment on a special project, which is not in the normal way of business or trade of\nthe employer, where there is a fixed schedule for commencement and completion of work;\nor for work of a temporary nature with a fixed schedule for its commencement or\ncompletion; or for seasonal work in respect of which employees are only engaged during\nthat season; provided that the work must be completed within a period of two years and\nthe employer and employee have entered into a written agreement at or prior to the\ncommencement of employment.\nSection 119\nAn employer is not required to pay severance pay to an employee whose employment has\nbeen terminated for any of the following reasons:\n(1) Dishonest performance of his duties or the intentional commission of a criminal\nact against the employer;\n(2) Intentionally causing loss to the employer;\n(3) Performance of an act of gross negligence which results in severe loss to the\nemployer;\n(4) Violation of the employer\'s work rules or regulations or orders which are both\nlawful and equitable when the employer has already issued the employee with a\nprior written warning, except in a serious instance when the employer is not\nrequired to give a warning.\nThe written warning shall be effective for a period of one year as from the date\nof the commission of the violation by the employee;\n(5) Neglect of his duties for a period of three consecutive work days without\nreasonable cause, whether or not a holiday intervenes;\n(6) Imprisonment by reason of a final judgment, except in the case of offenses\nwhich arise from negligence or for petty offenses.\n(http://www.thailaws.com/index_thai_laws.htm)\n\nAnd as per the Supreme Court’s judgements in Thailand, time limited contracts only have value if they are for a certain limited number of jobs. (http://www.pattayamail.com/802/business.shtml)\nSo, from the above, severance pay is due if your jobs are terminated BEFORE or AFTER the end of the contract at the rates above. Now, where it gets tricky is that the employer is not really offering to terminate your jobs, just a change in work conditions. Like any place where matters are negotiated, the employer is free to do such. You can refuse to accept the conditions and then it can go a number of ways as follows:\n\n1. The employer does not back down. Recruits new staff and you are all out of a job. Here, non-renewal of contract is the same as contract termination (under Thai labour law) and you are entitled to severance pay. Now you must spend the time and money to take them to the labour court (free to cheap) or civil court (can become expensive). The employer may play fair or may use dirty tricks and during this time you are without a work permit and visa (although once legal proceeding commence, you can get a special type of visa to be here for the case). However, you do have a good chance of getting severance pay but you probably won’t get your old job back.\n\n2. The employer respects the strength in numbers and backs down and you all continue to work under existing or acceptably modified terms.\n\n3. Some or all workers bend and accept the draconian modified terms of the contract. The group breaks up, some keep jobs and some stubborn ones lose jobs.\nIt is not an easy choice and I can personally understand if some/many choose the last choice as this can get rough and powerful employers can really play dirty (at levels bordering on pure evil).\nI would only embark upon choices 1 or 2 if I have the time and energy. Really want to stand on a matter of principle. And I either have enough money to survive without a job or have another job in the bag.\nIt is your choice and I would advise you to speak to a Thai lawyer and the local Thai labour office (government) before following the foreign teacher that claims to be a lawyer – the Thai legal world is not as straightforward and clean as us Westerners might have experienced.\nGood Luck!',0,'49.49.129.122',1,'2012-02-15 05:48:17','2012-02-15 07:25:54'),(2007,8170,'Ron','leroux.ronald@yahoo.com','BKK','I know of this chain of schools.

I paid a Chinese visa brokerage (Chinese people living in Thailand always seem incredibly knowledgeable about Thai government procedure) to secure a Marriage \"O\" visa (which not everyone can get but as an alternative, my American friend used the same agency and got a 1-year non-B).  I quit my job at the Thai school I worked for and went off the grid, teaching private lessons to students from international schools.  It took a while for my reputation to get off the ground but now I comfortably make 50-60,000 THB in the bad months and 80-90,000 THB in the good.  I rarely work more than 4 hours a day and often it\'s more like 2 hours per day.  I pay no taxes.  I accept no cr*p from Thai administrators and other profit filters that just suck off of the bottom line for boneheaded purchases, \"tea money\" and other Thai educational pastimes.  I also deal with immigration only four times per year.  My friend has to pop in and out Cambodia on his non-B and he has the same deal.

With Thai schools cutting so many benefits (and that\'s why we really join a company, right?  So we can get a work permit, insurance and paid holidays) why not take it all on?  No more sports days, camps, form-filling meetings, BS professional development and Thai administration shenanigans.  And yes, no more goofball fellow falangs to deal with in the office, too.  Good luck!  Hope it continues to work out for \'Anonymous.\'  Good to hear a success story, even if it\'s not all on the up and up.

It is illegal to teach freelance, but technically, it\'s also illegal to have a work permit for a full-time job and accept any other form of employment.  My point would be that nearly every teacher has been engaged in \'illegal\' activities at some point, as the work permit/teacher\'s license/visa issues are so illogical and problematic.  \n\nIf you don\'t advertise and you only rely on word of mouth, it\'s nearly inconceivable that you would be nabbed by the authorities.  I have never heard of any farang getting stopped for his/her work permit.  You work in your own home or in others\' homes, so your exposure to Thailand is actually minimal outside of the travel to and from students homes and actually working with said students.  I\'m not sure how the authorities in this country would even know what\'s what regarding the teaching profession.  I wear shorts, a Polo shirt and sandals to work, so I look like every other vacationer (I don\'t get involved in the whole hi-so, face-promoting fashion fad in Thailand, mostly because people that wear suits and work in 3rd world classrooms end up looking a bit funny, but maybe it\'s just me).\n\nUltimately, when you discuss legal vs. illegal in a country like Thailand, your\'e kind of spewing hot air.

Yes, it is wrong, and as you correctly stated, it happens a lot.  It happens so much that teachers who are familiar with \"the Thai system\" really try to get a read on what their future is with the school before the term is up.  Imagine coming to the end of your 10 month contract (another shifty aspect of Thais) and you\'re wondering ...\"Are they going to hire me back?  Hmmm...no one has said anything one way or another and my visa will then need adjusting.\"  This is the game Thai schools play with foreigners.  All in the name of saving the face of the teacher, they don\'t outright fire you, but they don\'t invite you back, either.  Are we splitting hairs?  The teacher has been fired.  Period.\n\nThis creates a great deal of mistrust amongst staff.  I had a friend who could sense he was not going to be rehired because no one was helping him with his visa issues.  After getting the run around for several weeks, and his status about to go bad, he spoke to the principal directly.  Sure enough, he was not going to be rehired.  Both agreed that he\'d work out the remainder of the month and be paid.  This is actually a \"good\" story.  I know of others who have certainly caused a stink by being the last to know they are out of a job come end of term.  \n\nAnd just for the record, anything perceived as \"unlawful\" does not apply to foreigners or \"falangs.\"  The sooner an English teacher realizes this, the happier he will be.',0,'119.46.10.94',1,'2012-02-22 23:40:43','2012-03-12 08:08:07'),(2027,8170,'Ron','leroux.ronald@yahoo.com','BKK','Good news.......

The agencies also provide a safety net, as some of the schools in Bangkok are very difficult to work for--but agency system encourages them to treat teachers badly.  The agencies offer to replace a teacher at any time if the school is not satisfied, so the schools get on a power trip and replace teachers for the most trivial things, w/o any regard for their feelings, or any appreciation of how hard they may have tried.  But, this is the kicker:  during the flood my agency promised all teachers that we would not lose any wages (for not working in November) because the agency is paid per semester, not per month--so instead of spending Oct and Nov looking around for other work, I stayed loyal to my agency.  Then, come December, they announced that we were, in fact, daily-wage workers who are only paid for the days we actually work (even though our contracts stipulate a monthly wage), so we would not be paid for November, AND we would have to teach an extra hour a day, and Saturdays to make up for November (a month we were not paid for).  Well a lot of people quit, but I figured that quitting before I had another job wasn\'t going to make up for my lost pay....then I read a piece of fine print that was not part of my contract and found out that I had to give 30 days notice if I wanted out of my contract, or forfeit 30 days pay (and yes they do hold people to that--someone only gave 28 days notice and lost a month\'s pay).

I had a problem in one of my classes with some of the boys and the Thai teacher refused to get involved. At Mattayom 3 level some could hardly write and this was for a special class which paid extra money to get paid 3 or 4 times by a farang teacher. They had been at this for over 3 years. Some could not write a simple sentence!\n\nAnd this is what? The farang teacher\'s fault? It is not enough fun perhaps? I am so sick of the double standards by the Thai staff who think they work harder than us, but rarely ever deliver. They teach incorrect grammar and pronounciation on a consistent basis and teach the wrong way. They cannot even pronouce \"juice\" properly. They teach English as a set of rules. And so I see Mattayom 6\'s who simply give up because seems like an endless set of rules this way and that. One day it is like this this and next it is like that. \n\nBut the thing which upsets me is the gossip about my salary and I just decided I could not work under such conditions and I told them so after I quit. And I feel justified to do so. I feel they want farang teachers just to take what they dish out with little complaints, \"Yes men\" who will follow their rules.

Do these make you a Teacher let alone a good Teacher? No they do not, they create \'traveller Teachers\' and unscrupulous schools both government and private, and agencies that do not sort appropriate visas, work permits and other typical Teacher packages. Such situations are a bane to education worldwide. \n\n Should schools employ Teachers for short periods as opposed to long contracts? For continuity yes, but many education systems around the world require short term teachers because good qualified \nlong term teachers are hard to find in some countries. However I digress...\n\n The point of Jess\'s article as i see it is that Teachers need to give praise when and only when it\'s due (not to make students feel they are doing wel for the sack of \'saving face\' by parents or the school). Teachers need to get out of the idea you can stand t the front of a class, read a few chapters from a book, give out a few hand sheets and your job is done. \n\n A good Teacher uses a variety of methodology (learnt through qualifications and experience)\' be a good communicator and actually know their subject inside out. Should English language students receive translation in a class? No they should not because it encourages laziness. Also from a linguistic perspective, using native translations especially in Asian languages creates confusion amongst students due to inaccurate translations (I speak fluent Thai and would never use it in class). \n\nNative Teachers especially Thai often come unstuck teaching English because of this.  Immersion methods are used the world over to successfully teach a language, I think the point that needs to be addressed in TEFL particularly in SE Asia, is native Teachers and Schools employing foreign Teachers, need to be honest about students ability and not expect foreign Teachers or even native Teachers to perform miracles in language learning in a few weeks, months or even a years contract!',1,'92.5.145.241',1,'2012-04-23 06:01:35','2012-04-23 16:05:45'),(2114,9055,'Matthew','mattnoble4@gmail.com','United States','Jessica, \n\nI\'m really happy that you\'ve had such a positive initial 18 month teaching career in SE Asia and wish you continued success, adventure, and growth.

I\'m disappointed that you seem to blame them without offering any theory as to why they don\'t do what you\'re doing in your Burmese international school this summer. It strikes me as a bit naive. And that you clearly have a good reflective practice going on...but don\'t appear to have considered the primary difference between ESL and EFL. \n\nWould enjoy hearing your thoughts on these things.',1,'155.41.42.64',1,'2012-04-23 16:24:41','2012-04-24 00:58:44'),(2115,9055,'Jessica','jessicawatson14@gmail.com','','Hey Matthew!\n   Thanks for responding and I\'m happy to respond to your comments/concerns. \n\n   Some differences between this school in Myanmar and the other schools I have taught at(both in Thailand and Cambodia) is foreign run and the Burmese teachers are required to speak English in classroom.  I think this is very beneficial for the students because they are challenged and totally immersed in the language. Also, when I was teaching in Thailand and Cambodia, a lot of the English teachers never spoke a word of English to me, despite being English teachers. Many lacked confidence(or maybe even ability?) to hold a conversation with a native speaker.  I think a teacher of a foreign language should feel confident speaking the language they are teaching with a native speaker?  This should be applied to all languages being learned, not just English.\n\n   I hope my analysis didn\'t come across as critical of Thai teachers.  I think for anyone teaching a foreign language, it is always easier to explain things in the native language. I believe language teachers have a much more difficult time in the classroom than any other subject teacher, and using the native language to aid the lesson makes the job easier, but doesn\'t necessarily improve learning.   I think the students benefit tremendously from total immersion and I\'ve seen those benefits first-hand.\n\nI\'m not trying to imply that native English-speaking teachers are superior to foreign English teachers. In fact, I\'ve met many ESL teachers who speak English as a second language and they are excellent teachers  and have a good command of the English language. I just feel language teachers, both native and non-native, need to be better prepared for giving their students an exclusively English(or other language) atmosphere. \n\nI hope that answers some of your questions/concerns.

If what you meant was that the skilled Filipino teacher comes to Thailand and be paid the same amount a Thai teacher does, you are out of your mind. \n\nIf Thailand needs teachers and Thais could not teach the lessons and people from other counties are hired to do the job, then that should be considered a special skill and should be paid more, otherwise, send your Thai teachers to the Philippines to learn the skill. The Philippines has a need of teachers and it\'s being filled up by qualified Filipinos, and they never hired foreign teachers to teach in the Philippines. Even if they do, those foreign teachers receive higher pay. The Philippines, despite its being two years short of its basic education system in the past, was able to send out around ten million of its people as skilled workers in many (if not all) countries the world over. \n\nMany south Koreans solved the problem of hiring teachers from overseas and yet could not fulfill the expectations mainly because of cultural reasons and pride (which is very similar to Thailand). They set up international schools in the Philippines for Koreans to advance their English skills before moving to an English speaking western country, and they hire Filipino teachers who are paid lower than what they receive if they teach in Korea, which seems to be reasonable. But the result is better and meet their expectation. And the reason is mainly because the students were more, although not totally, detached from their cultural influence and pressure which is the main reason why they could not advance in their learning process in their own country.\n\nIn any country, if a company (whether in the teaching business or not) has needs of skilled personnel, and they could not find a qualified local candidate to fill the position, they hire from other countries but NOT to be \"paid under similar salaries\" to local employees.\n\nLearning a language is not just studying the mechanical system and laws of the language but it also involves total immersion to the culture where that language is part of, because it does not just involve speaking but it also includes the thinking process as well. That is the reason why many foreigners learn the Thai language easily because they did the same thing. As long as Thailand keeps on hiding and disguising its resistance behind its \"preservation of its culture\" reasoning, it can never achieve its goal, and as one of the commentators said that if Thailand only moves if it sees money as the only reason behind, it will soon find itself lagging behind its neighboring countries. In fact, the reason why all ASEAN countries are required to improve their English skills is for their own survival and advancement.',0,'110.168.202.114',1,'2012-05-12 02:51:14','2012-05-12 14:06:10'),(2149,7718,'Matthew','mattnoble4@gmail.com','United States','\"Schools are now substituting native speakers with non-native speakers because the parents feel Thai English teachers are good enough\"...\n\nDo you think this is really a significantly large trend?

This year they have 2 teachers taking my job for slightly more work - Maths and English. They are going through an agency this year.

You were born lucky to grow up speaking English as a first language and even luckier if you\'re \"Western looking\". BAM! Instant job opportunity.\n\nI\'m sure we\'ve all heard more than 1 anecdotal story (or had it happen to us??)  about a fair haired white person being picked over an equally and more qualified non-white native speaker. I remember at my friends school in Seoul they hired a 19 year old white FRENCH CANADIAN (lol!!) over a Korean-American NES with an MAT in teaching English.  So yes, lots of bad decisions by school, but to the BENEFIT of white applicants regardless of their teaching background.\n\nIf you are a white Westerner (including Afrikaaner) coming to Asia \"to teach English\" you are in a PRIVELEGED position.

You know what jobs demand high salaries for even with no credentials or experience? Sex work. And we all know even that doesn\'t pay shite in Thailand. \n\nWestern native English speakers can pack up and go home to the COMFORT and SECURITY of their home country at any time. Teaching English abroad is fueled by a desire for ADVENTURE ie FUN.  All English schools and hirers know this.  Teaching English is a privilege.  No school is required to pay for your extended vacation.

Got married, had kids and started other businesses. What I find strange is that schools will lose valuable skills which have been built up over years. I am not here for simply “fun”. In the west no doubt they want cheap labour. And so while cheap jobs are being lost in Western countries due to immigrants who will work for less (such as the USA, UK and across Europe) it means those manual labour jobs in those countries salaries have come down. \n\nYep, I know the poster boy as well. You get hired simply for your blond hair and blue eyes and it looks great on the poster. Most schools have them or at least one. What I find amazing is that parents put up with it. That parents seem to be happy with the young “good looking” (for me many aren’t – maybe young would suffice) teacher in the classroom and lose the older more experienced dedicated teacher. And I know many. Many of which try hard. \n\nAs for this being an adventure I disagree. Many teachers I know have moved here with the intention of staying but would like to be treated with respect which is why they came in the first place. Of course we all have options. We can go back home and take our chances there. In this economic environment that is more difficult but I find more and more people mulling it over. And so we have the young inexperienced teacher in the classroom in many cases for one reason. They are cheaper. They fit the bill. Most of the time damn if they can teach. \n\nIt took me years to actually understand actually what they are looking for here and most of the time I was talking too fast. When I slowed it down it got better. It took one class I taught 4 times a week to get the confidence to put their hand up and say “Teacher, we don’t understand”. But too often in Thailand I find this is the case. They don’t understand but would rather say nothing than “losing face”. So be it. Still I find it amazing that schools would rather get young experienced teachers in and lose good teachers. And it seems to be major shift this year over last.

That\'s the bad news.\n\nThe good news is it can certainly be a \'lot less\' protruding and flabby with a little regular maintenance. Here\'s the test – when you sit down on the loo, if you can feel your gut resting on the top of your thighs as you go in for the wipe, then there\'s far too much abdominal obesity going on round there.\n\nAnd another stubborn issue for men over 40 is that of man-boobs, technically known as gynecomastia. Heck, I\'ve got the biggest knockers in a family of 5 women, and sometimes moobs are harder to flatten (if at all), than the pot belly.\n\nBut even knowing that the taut body from a generation ago has gone for good, this shouldn\'t stop any man from looking the best he can for the age he is.

I think there is more to add.\n\nFirstly, don\'t forget that Thailand is an ageist society - junior Bechemheinem the third, armed with his freshly printed degree in political science and newly rocked up from nowhere city, USA, isn\'t going be met with either the respect or the salary he would expect back in the West.  Indeed, if he were to observe his age/experience equivalent Thai counterparts, he would notice that, though he may feel very hard done by, he is earning a lot more and being treated far better than they - and they hold a full  degree in education or even more!\n\nSecondly, Thais are on a sliding pay scale - the longer in the job the better the salary.  If we talk of pay rises they should be justified/earned the Thai way and not an automatic right for western \'teachers\'! Don\'t forget, kids, who\'s to say the schools aren\'t giving pay rises but they aren\'t trickling down to the teacher - school\'s admin/agencies hijacking it!\n\nThirdly, Thailand is not a meritocracy - school management and the cliques that run schools come and go every 3 years - when they elect their management. When you feel the wind on the back of your neck and are given no support/the cold shoulder, you may be in with the wrong crowd or the crowd that is just about to be ousted from power (happened to me!) Furthermore, some positions of seniority are bought - it could well be that the Director of your local government school was a P.E. Teacher (true of a huge local girls school where I live) but has raised enough cash/\'saponseeerrrrs\' to buy his way to the top and then claw back as much as he can before his sell-by date is up!  They are surely going to loot the coffers and pay \'Johnny big nose\' as little as possible while putting a salary of 50,000bt per month through the books (in Johnny\'s name)!\n\nI detest that expression \'It is what it is!\' as it clearly isn\'t in most cases!  Tit? For sure.  Use your school salary to pay for your life and take on part time work in the evenings and at weekends to give you money to save:  What other job in the world lets you start at 08 dubbs and go home at 4p.m (or even earlier).  Work two or three more hours at 400/500bt (during the week) and 6/7 hours on a Saturday gives you another salary and you still have time for a couple of hours of beers with mates before going to bed at 10.00p.m. and a day off every week on top of the 2/3 months of paid hols a year plus the many public hols!\n\nGiven, the cost of living ratio when compared to the West, this sounds like a bloody good deal to me!

I wanted to get overseas and that job could get me there.  At the time it was a fairly smart move.  I was making about the same that a recent college grad could make in the U.S., and in 2007 the economy wasn\'t great so I could weather that storm.  It was when I tried to make a career for myself that I ran into trouble.  There just wasn\'t much for me with my degree outside of ESL.  I made the decision to come back to the U.S.\n\nSomeone really should make an idiots guide to the current U.S. economy for overseas ESL teachers.  I heard about how hard it was for some people, but I had a degree and 4 years of work experience.  Worse comes to worse, I could have been an admin assistant.  I was blindsided.\n\nNo one told me that as an unemployed person I would have a harder time getting a job.  No one told me that as many as 500+ people can apply for a job on a company website in one day.  No one told me that if I applied for more than one job on a company website, the system would flag me as a risk, making my application passed over.  No one told me that the time I spent on those applications would simply be a waste.  \n\nI did finally get that administrative assistant position and was earning only a little more than minimum wage.  I felt depressed and embarrassed with myself.  I knew I was a great worker and definitely management material.  \n\nLater I decided that maybe I could use my education experience to get a job in higher education.  That actually worked out quite well and I am a program manager at a top-50 university.  \n\nI don\'t know what is the best advice to give others...being an overseas ESL teacher is tough because the skills don\'t easily transfer here.  The longer you do it, the larger of a black hole you get on your resume.  That being said, dealing with reverse culture shock, living a life extremely monotonous compared to your overseas one, and feeling worthless because you cannot get a job is quite tough.  It might only get tougher and that extra year spent weathering the storm might put you in the thick of it.  \n\nMy advice to returning teachers:\n-Do not waste your time applying on company websites\n-Seek positions in higher education, primarily in staff-related positions\n-Use an employment company or 5 to help you snag an interview\n-Contact EVERY person you know who is employed and ask them for help.  Suck up your pride and just do it.  \n-Simply having a BA or MA does not qualify you for a position, even as basic as an administrative assistant.  \n\nHope this helps some people.',0,'128.194.76.86',1,'2012-05-21 08:53:43','2012-05-21 23:36:39'),(2206,9250,'jbkk','fongtaiyuk@hotmail.com','bkk','To Ioan- what would you suggest?

I\'m happy for Matt and wish him the best :) \n\nI moved to San Diego in August, 1998. At the time I held a teaching certificate in H.S. English (Massachusetts). An M.A. in Professional Writing & Publishing. I completed required courses in Rhetoric, Composition, and the Teaching of English (3.73 G.P.A.). I did not take exams, complete a dissertation or earn a Ph.D. \n\nNevertheless, I was the top student in my program of study. \n\nBy 1998 I\'d taught in colleges and universities in Thailand, Massachusetts, and Arizona, racking up 15 years in the classroom. \n\nI tried in vain to obtain a \"public school\" teaching position in San Diego for years. Finally, a state official said off the record an applicant should be fluent in Spanish to teach H.S. English in San Diego :)  \n\nLand of fruit and nuts :) \n\nThe San Diego job market in general is in bad shape, has been since 2006. \n\n12% unemployment was reported in the news a year ago in San Diego. In reality, it was well over 15% not including full-time workers knocked down to part-time and losing their benefits in the process. A job market where a CEO of a major company lost his job only to end up working in a hardware store (reported in 60 minutes). Seems like things are getting worse in San Diego if anything. \n\nTeachers get laid off in San Diego all the time. It\'s been going on for years. Seven school districts are in danger of not paying their bills or are in default. \n\nYet Virginia\'s booming! :) \n\nI\'m happy for the folks in Virginia, and I wish them the best. \nMost every where else in the states is a tough nut to crack.\n\nUnderstatement is rich :)\n\nMy last two teaching assignments were on Navy Warships.\nI flew out to meet the U.S.S. Russell in Singapore in 2006. The Russell was a day out of Hawaii, the end of the trip, when it suddenly did an about face heading for North Korea. (The Russell was the navy\'s #1 missile hunter.)\n\nIn 2007 I flew to Yokosuka, Japan to teach on the U.S.S. ... Just can\'t seem to remember that ship\'s name :)\n\nI\'ll be flying into Thailand soon looking for a job teaching English :)\n\nI\'ve washed my share of toilet bowls in my day in the army and getting through grad school. No complaints :) \n\nI\'m in my late 50s.\n\nGood luck! :)\n\n\n*Started my first career teaching H.S.

Only one panelist was present as the other three were \'away on urgent matters\'. The panelist wanted me to attend the 2nd interview the following week. I turned up at the 2nd interview when I noticed another candidate. He has just arrived from a far away town, wearing shorts and a tee shirt and carried a back pack. He said he was an American school teacher. He got the job. \nEmployer 2 : This was a local Catholic school. I was selected at the interview but contrary to what was told before, they were prepared to offer only 15,000 baht per month as I did not have a \'European\' appearance.

Teachers of European nationality and appearance were paid 30,000 baht.                \nEmployer 3: Got called for an interview at a local girls\' school. The Head of English lady was pleased with me at the conclusion of the interview and said that she would let me know the outcome in 3 days. She also said that there were 3 vacancies and that there were no other applicants as yet. Nothing was heard after the 3 days. Upon inquiry, I was told that all the vacancies were filled. The school was closed during the previous 3 days.\nEmployer 4: Went for the interview at a large private school in the area. Interview lasted for 30 minutes. Many questions, many answers. No news of outcome for a week.

The fact is that half of the schools I come across simply do not give a sh*t even when it damages their brands and reputation. I know one school in particular that was losing 3 teachers a month.

They would lose teachers left, right and centre over this simple petty rule. One day it was pouring with rain. Absolutely bucketing down. One teacher was 20 minutes late. He told me that there were literally waves being sprayed over his motorbike. The school still enforced the charging scheme and he was charged 250 Baht. He left shortly thereafter. It is this kind of short-sighted petty penny pinching which the end just pisses teachers off and they leave the school, and in the end damages the brand of the school when they have loads of teachers coming and going.

That is not so good if the students are beginners or not very good at learning a second language because learning language was never a strong part of the family relations. Also you always need definitional vocabulary in your lessons and direct translation is one method of doing that.  I think that bilingualism (helping students understand the vocabulary and structures of a sentence using thier native language) can actually help ESL students that are behind due to a slow start in learning English when they were young.  Students that may have not been raised learning English from a very young age will fall farther and farther behind due to a lack of knowing the vocabulary compared to other students that have been learning English for a long time.  Vocabulary appears to be the most significant bottle neck in language learning and it takes a long time for second language students to adequately pick up a large amount of vocabulary.  Slower students need all the help they can get, from other students explaining English to them, and from the teacher explaining it to them using bilingualism.',0,'115.87.166.33',1,'2012-06-10 04:01:18','2012-06-10 13:22:30'),(2276,10650,'KD Eryarar','eryarar.d@aycthailand.com','Bangkok','what is wrong with gate duty?\njust because, you need to come to the school 30 minutes early does not make it nasty.\nIt is a good way to be within society and you will have a better and smoother working life as they will close their eyes to your mistakes just because you can be a part of the school and community as a foreigner.

They don\'t like the work and they bitch about how they could do it so much better than the natives... but here they are - posting their grievances on a public forum. It\'s fine to bitch and moan, because that\'s what we do to get by when everything isn\'t perfect. I do it myself when things don\'t go my way.

Stop complaining and go if you’re so unhappy here. Guess there are always plenty of things to complain about since work is work, but it seems like it’s getting tougher to make a decent living teaching in Thailand lately for everyone.  While once solidly in the middle class ranks, salaries for NES teachers don’t feel like they’ve kept up.  Maybe this is part of the bigger gap between the well-off and not so well-off, but it sure doesn’t feel good to be in the latter.  When’s this going to change? When you have new grads coming out of university in the States with a $7.25 an hour job at Wal-Mart as the only career choice (hmm, that comes to 35k baht per month – interesting coincidence!), a little adventure teaching English and hanging out in Thailand seems like a fun way to weather the storm back home.

I will say that this school is no drffeient from any other Thai Private school in Thailand; nop better, no worse. During my stay, I have implemented inquiry-based curriculum in grades 1-3 and project-based curriculum in grades 4-6. The staff is made up of teachers from all over the world (South Africa, US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, England). They are a mix of qualified teachers and TEFL teachers. Next year, grades 1-3 will be taught be qualified teachers only adept at delivering  best teaching practices .We are still confronted with being  out of the loop  when it comes to decisions or hearing about events at the last minute but this is how it works at all Thai schools. I can\'t say what happened in the past but my experience here has certainly not been negative. We get paid (directly into our bank accounts) on time, we are re-imbursed for expenses relating to medical or school supplies without hassle. Is this an international school or comparable to one in the western world? NO. Is it comparable to Thai schools? YES. Out of the 22 foreign teachers here, only five are on their first contract and out of those, 1 did not finish his contract because he had to go back to Australia to Australia to finish his teaching contract there and another did not stay because of culture shock. If you do decide to consider this school, ask to speak to people who are actually here at the moment and not rely on past experiences. I have taught in 7 countries around the world and not one person would have the same experience at the same place. And don\'t let the admin. suggest a person to talk to but ask for a specific person (ideally the person you will be replacing). You can find their profiles on the school\'s website. Best of all, always keep an open mind. What they say about administrators is completely correct; if the person is not working for you, then your time could be miserable but if they are, you might just like teaching knowing that someone has your back.

So I can disagree with you about a few things.  Firstly, I lived in Seoul and Deajon and I didn\'t consider them to be \'fast-paced\' (or anywhere in Korea for that matter).  If you want to experience \'fast paced\' you have to go to Hong Kong and Shanghai.  Live in those cities for about a month or more and you\'ll really feel what \'fast paced\' is like!\n\nThere are a lot of perks to living in S. Korea, but the xenophobia can be really extreme there.  I\'m surprised you didn\'t mention that.  It\'s the reason why I left.  I have always felt a sense of belonging in Thailand that I never felt in S. Korea.  The stifling xenophobia of Korea got to me so much that I couldn\'t bear to leave my apartment in S. Korea.  In contrast, I found Thailand to be the party of a lifetime for many years after I arrived and I felt more than accepted or welcomed by the Thais.  This wasn\'t my experience with Koreans.  Though I have had very warm relations with many of them, the majority were not so likable as I find the vast majority of Thais.\n\nYou talked about Koreans and Thais being pushy.  I found the physical pushing in South Korean to be downright hazardous to my well-being.  In all my years of living in Thailand, I can\'t remember a time when someone pushed me and didn\'t immediately apologize.  They were accidents.  I never received an apology in South Korea and the pushing was on a daily basis, especially on the subway.  I saw a lot of people physically fighting on the subway (blood and all) and thankfully I\'ve never seen any kind of violence with the public transportation in Thailand.   In fact, I would be shocked if I did!\n\nYou talked about being stared at in both countries.  I was constantly stared at and harassed severely in S. Korea.  This has never been a problem for me in Bangkok or the surrounding areas.  It\'s rare and doesn\'t usually happen to me until I leave the comforts of Bangkok.\n\nYou said this, \'It has been rare in both Korea and Thailand to hear people speak frankly and honestly when it comes to important topics.\'  My experience has been the opposite.  I have never had a problem with getting Thais to \'spill their guts\' to me.  They will do so when they feel very comfortable telling you and it\'s not around other Thais.  They sometimes feel more comfortable and less threatened telling me than other Thais how they really feel.  In Korea, Koreans would not stop talking about their complaints with everything concerning the world and their country.  Maybe it\'s a difference in personality that people are not feeling comfortable with speaking to you about important topics.  Asians don\'t like to dwell on depressing topics for too long, but they will open up and tell you if you invite them to do so!

Likewise, the school may elect to not renew your contract for another year if they so choose.  And, they\'re not obligated to give you a reason.

I\'ve met a number of foreigners and Koreans who were able to have intelligent English language conversations, and the foreigners were somewhat \"normal\" people back home - if you haven\'t already noticed, a lot of the farangs in Thai aren\'t the most wholesome of people back in Prathet Farang (did you have to submit a criminal background check for your Thai visa :) ?).

Yes, I met many in Thailand, rather less in China. I first came to Thailand some five years ago and amongst my educational certificates and references, brought with me a SAR, (Criminal Background Check, UK). \n\nThe first school I taught at didn’t want to see it, but then in 2011 the second school I worked at suddenly did. ‘No good’ they said, ‘Why’ I asked, ‘Too old’ they replied. I did point out that as I hadn’t been back to the UK since receiving it, (passport as proof), it hardly mattered. The suggestion was that I travel back to the UK to get another one. My counter suggestion was that if they paid me to return to the UK to buy one, paid me to live there for up to 40 days waiting for it to be processed and paid my return flight, I was quite happy to do so! They wouldn’t, I didn’t. \n\nMy point is that if I stay in an employment contract for say two to three years, then at least one year of those savings will be swallowed up by air fares, lodgings, food and hanging around in the UK for up to 40 days for an updated check. That would probably reduce my earning potential by up to a third. \n\nIn the end I contacted the Embassy who probably did the same sort of background check on me, but in a different signed letter statement from them that I was ‘Not known’; yes I still had to pay for that, but it worked out a lot cheaper. \n\nIn the UK we have very strict privacy laws and it simply isn’t possible to do things by email and request checks by post, or whatever.

Much more of my admiration goes to farangs who selected the remote and poor regions of Thailand as their place to teach. \nIt is a pity that the authorities of Thailand and the schools do not use this logic in the selection of farangs in seeking the most suitable person for the teaching job. \nThat way, employer etiquette would be higher and in accordance with international standard. \nWay far from this mess they have in education now. \nAbout Thai employers\' etiquette. \nThe Technology Promotion Association (TPA) was established 1973 by the former Minister of Finance, Khun Sommai Hoontrakool. The original objective was to promote and support technological knowledge within the Thai population. The School of Language was one of the departments. Chinese and English have been added to the list of languages taught at the school. It was for benefit of elementary / pre -intermediate students who have been exposed to the grammar but have had a very little oral skills. \nThis school happened exactly 39 years ago!!! Thirty nine years ago!!! This school was opened to farangs and etiquette of employer was based on international standards. That was the first and last time, as i know. \nPublic schools added English as subject, much later. \nFarangs was invited to Thailand to help as benefit of education, even more later. \nToday, 39 years later nothing change!\nSome 80% of Thai teachers are still about grammar only, as 39 years ago. \nLinguistic science is lively matter. Focus is on speaking and listening skills. Any farang who points to Thai teachers about it - is history. Any foreigner who teaches in accordance to linguistic science will be not accepted because by his way of teach - he would point on the incompetence of Thai teachers or their laziness. \nSome 80% are worthless as teachers. \nSurvey during the Government of Mr. Abhisit  found 88% of Thai teachers incompetent to teach their subjects and that was pointed as a national disgrace. \nTeachers in Thailand should follow all changes in linguistic science. They don\'t. Many reasons. Mainly it is because of their lack of speaking and listening skills so they stick to grammar and spelling. So, how about English skills of 80% of students today? Horrible! The contract ASEAN has a clause that all countries have to improve English language. It is standard for all countries who signed that contract. Thailand is in very big risk to don\'t achieve the goal. If fail will be no any benefit from that contract.

First, he generally arrives approximately 5 minutes late to class. This way, by the time the majority of dazed and dallying students arrive and sit in their seats at least 10 minutes of the 50-minute session have been killed.\n\n2. Second, he begins the tedious task of trying to teach the majority of aloof, apathetic students by asking them to rearrange their desks and chairs. This kills another 5 minutes, give or take, of the dreaded 50-minute session.\n\n3. He then begins his secret boondoggle by instructing the majority of lost, lagging students to study together in groups, which means to practice the dialogs in their workbooks and then write their own conversations based on the dialogs. This he erroneously calls practicing role plays, and in this way he avoids doing T to S and S to T practice, which is exhausting and basically futile. This also kills most of the remaining 35 minutes or so of class time.\n\n4. While the majority of cheeky, crafty students are busy pretending to study in their groups he writes the vocabulary along with the dialogs and conversations from the textbook onto the whiteboard. This kills more time.\n\n5. With the majority of blasé students sitting at their desks in groups and blahing away in Thai, teacher Ben does a minimal amount of monitoring before sitting down and waiting for his next exit, which is generally 5 minutes early.',0,'171.6.226.120',1,'2012-06-29 19:12:34','2012-06-30 03:31:53');

(I\'m referring of course to the crazy western practice of testing children for government approvals which rely heavily on passing grades rather than academic achievement.)\n\nThe reason that universities are forced to retest and reexamine potential students nowadays is that they know from painful experience that the rubbish grades they are getting from schools are worthless.\n\nBut in the end you either work within the limitations and confinements of any system and like it or you bang your head against a wall!',1,'110.77.226.19',1,'2012-07-16 21:13:23','2012-07-17 04:30:51'),(2382,9250,'Peter','peterzxr@gmx.com','Pathum Thani','The main reason that students go to school is not to learn anything academic?

I have adult students at high level who are quite bright and it\'s their intelligence that has carried them through to advanced level (but on the whole I do know what he means). Same for the teenage \"I don\'t need to speak another language\" attitude. Most Asian countries have this kind of mild indoctrination masked as patriotism and it\'s as true here as it is in others (except N.Korea, obviously).\n\nAnother reason is, as Keiran pointed out, poor listening skills. But I feel this may go as deep as to be biological, in Thai people\'s DNA. Something about Thai people\'s inner ear must be different (is the only explanation I can think of). I can\'t be the only English teacher that has noticed Thai people\'s inability to pronounce, or even hear the end of English words? The \"s\" of plural nouns? The three different \'ed\' endings of regular verbs? Down to the last two or three letters of most words in the dictionary!

These farangs do one of two things: they play endless games and although looks good and the students enjoy it has no real result or someone who has done a celta or Toefl gives endless rules in which the students cannot follow. The reason why Europeans can speak English is because the teacher can speak English and the students native language.

This works OK with a subject like maths, and it works OK for most subjects the way they are taught in most Thai schools by most Thai teachers. But it doesn\'t work when us farangs come in and ask students not just to learn a list of vocabulary, or the conjugation of a verb, but to learn how to judge what is being asked, and what the appropriate tense would be. It doesn\'t work when we expect them to be able to use what they\'ve learnt to construct an original sentence, and it certainly doesn\'t work when we ask them to have a real, free-style conversation with a real person.\n\nThe key thing is that students are not just bad at English, they\'re bad at most subjects, if you actually ask them to take what they\'ve learnt and apply it to any real situation. It takes a smart, dedicated and determined person to take what they learned in school, apply it, develop it and really understand it. I am lucky to have met several such people. Unfortunately, many of them have left the country to live and work elsewhere (and I don\'t mean on the arm of a farang man).

Let alone get the verb conjugation right.  When English is being studied an hour or two a week in a Thai government school, it\'s simply not enough for the majority of students who won\'t speak any English outside of school, or are not enrolled in additional English lessons.  That\'s the same as it was for me in high school and college French class.  I learned the basics - Days, numbers, \"How are you?\"  \"My name is...,\" but I wouldn\'t be able to last five minutes in a French conversation.\n      Take those same government school students, and put them in an English Program, and they\'ll do better.  More immersion should yield better results.  However, depending on the demographics of the student body, most likely they\'ll be speaking solely Thai as soon as they walk out of the classroom.  Now, put those same students in an International School where the lingua franca of the playground is English, and you\'ll see a sharp rise in their English fluency.\n       At the English Program I work at, I notice that the classes with students who have native English speaking parents are better as a whole, largely because the other students in the class will try to converse in English outside the classroom.  \n       One of the students who left my school two years ago to attend an International School came back to visit this past week.  While she was a good student at my school, she was by no means fluent.  When speaking to her this week, her conversational English seemed to be pretty much fluent.

Or after spending considerable time on spoken English and correct pronunciation to have students come back into class the next week saying it all wrong. Why? Because their Thai English teacher has told them the \'farang\' is wrong. Thus if a student expects to pass English, its the Thai way or the highway.

Why bother about advanced education or learning English to get there? \n\nThe mentality of the average Thai youngster is: if thousands around them are doing OK and are happy going about their business using only Thai, that should jolly well work for me too. \nIn my experience, not many Thai students are driven and motivated to seek positions of status. Peer influence may be there in some cases to break-away from this. But, by and large, they toe the line of their friends and colleagues for a future filled with joy and simplicity. \n\nThe Thai teachers, particularly those who call themselves English teachers, must bear some of the blame for not encouraging their younger generation to learn English and thus widen their scope for a better future. The reasons are too numerous. But to pick out the more glaring ones: \n\n1. Most Thai English teachers aren\'t knowledgeable enough themselves to teach English to anybody and more than 75% of their time in English class they speak in Thai. \n\n2. Nor are they professional in approach, attitude or in their dress code. The latter applies very much to many Thai lady teachers, who seem to thrive on the opportunity to display their over-decorated bodies and dresses, whose appearance therefore are far too extravagant (and cheap!). For them, everyday is like attending a fashion parade. Students, especially the females, therefore think that \'a good teacher is a beautiful teacher and a bad teacher is a .....\". The boys do too, which must be why many opt to copy the \'beautiful lady teacher!\'   \n\n3. They and the educational institute devote large chunks of academic time during the year for parties, celebrations and festivities, that everyone who cares about a brighter future can do without. In addition to the time lost, the message these wasteful events project is that learning anything is secondary. \n\n4. The Thai teachers\' natural temptation to be pompous about petty appointments and ranks received in rotation, which requires no test of character or knowledge,  contributes to the further decline in perseverance in uplifting standards of English education. \n\n5. To promote English in schools and Universities, English must be made visible. When even the floor numbers and class room numbers in most cases are in Thai writing and even \'Coke\' is written only in Thai, what can one expect?     \n\nAt the end, the foreign teacher can only do so much, as the managerial and decision making powers are always in the hands of the native teachers. The foreign teachers are invariably been frowned upon even if they think about a constructive suggestion. Their job is just to teach.',1,'49.49.201.120',1,'2012-07-30 02:19:30','2012-07-30 14:31:47'),(2473,11825,'Kieran','gardenguru@webmail.co.za','Nakorn sri Dhammarat','Del,    I agree the most effective language teacher is one that is multi lingual and obviously the grandest teacher  is fluent in the same language as the students, but , as mentioned in another comment, being a good , albeit limited teacher is possible sans knowledge of the language of the students but,,  subject to the level of the students.Multi lingualism breeds people that can see \" around things,\" see \"things\" from a different angle , this is what made Einstein so great for he had a below average I.Q.\nDel, in response to your question , \' how many of you can. . second language ?\" Ever increasing is the number of teachers who are NES and fluent in a second and often a third language   becoming, because more South Africans are joining the \"profession.\"  .The big diffs with them and other NES  is that they use(use it or lose it) these languages on a daily bases, moreover they stem from a multi cultural society , have lived as minorities all their live\'s, have been called \'Soutpiel\' ( salt dicks) or \'Mlungu\" (white scum) all their lives  and are hence very adaptable  and can handle being called a Fa rrrang etc etc .\nYes , I hear you saying \" But many South Africans are not NES\" .

The basic problem is not the books , local teachers , system,etc etc, ,  the problem is the poor teaching skills of the foreign teachers ! !

I was quoting another here on this site for this discussion \" ... \" and responding to something I did not agree with. What I said was: \n\nBut, the problem and real question is, the concern is: what happens when textbooks are used instead of teaching? What happens when they no longer supplement curriculum and lessons/but are the curriculum and lessons and teachers read verbatim out of a book and students who memorize the book progress to the next level??? what happens…hmmmm… Well, what happens is you have teachers who don’t know how to teach and thus students who, although they can remember how to say stuff for a test from the book, have no real idea how to use English and if the questions deviate beyond the textbook lesson, they look at you with wonder because they really don’t have a true understanding of the material in the book - because they did not learn it - they learned it for a test to go to the next level of the private language school course…\n\nBut, what you speak of is also a problem - no prep = poor teaching even without books. A good, professional teacher knows you do not just walk into a room with students unprepared and somehow just figure it out and be creative in a split second. Creativity comes with questioning practice and spending time to develop creative and thoughtful curriculum and lessons. Nor does one only use a book... A teacher must use appropriate lessons and curriculum = texts, self-designed and creative material, multi-modal resources, etc, etc. in combination with books and depending on the students. The book should only be one resource. As well, one should not just wing it...even if it is listening and speaking only one needs more than a mere native voice walking into a room and speaking in English.

I had tremendous trouble finding a decent job when I first arrived, in fact it was two months from the time of arriving in Thailand to my actual first day as a teacher.  I thought I would write this piece to help those who are in the same position as I was.  After having worked in a school with both farangs and thais,  I had a lot better understanding of how things work by the end of my stint. \n\nThe reality is that most thai administration staff simply delete emails that are written in English, as they either can\'t understand them or can\'t be bothered to get someone to translate it to them.  The best course of action is to make a list of the jobs you are interested in or schools/universities/language centres in your area, make a list of their addresses, dress decently and show something that resembles respect for Thai culture (a wai, greet the staff in Thai etc) and you are going to be ahead of the pack.  Emailing and phoning schools and agencies is a complete waste of your time, so don\'t do it.  You will invariably get an interview or you will speak to a principal by having done the leg work, which is more than probably 60% of your competitors.  The clincher for me was my demo lesson.  I presented to a group of thai teachers (mock students, all ladies!) and just made it fun (sanook), inclusive and got everyone excited.  If you don\'t think you can be fun, just base your demo lesson around a game, thais love games, they get excited, you\'ll be seen as a \'fun\' teacher and you won\'t be forgotten once you walk out the door.\n\nFinally, it\'s up to you to follow up.  Thais are lovely, caring, kind-hearted people, but they can be extremely forgetful and lazy and if someone tells they\'ll call you back, nine times out of ten they won\'t.  It\'s up to you, you must follow up after your initial meeting, preferably again in person.  In my time in Thailand I saw so many dead-beat teachers turn up for interviews under-prepared and then wonder why they didn\'t get the job.  It\'s not rocket science.  Be prepared, have a philosophy or style, make it fun and follow up.  No one\'s going to hand you a job in Thailand, farangs are a dime a dozen, it\'s up to you to go out to a school, impress them and make them want to employ you.

I\'ve given everything that was written consideration and found it to be good food for thought.  \n\nCurrent plan of action - complete my online TEFL course (which did also include a 20 hour weekend course which I finished already), begin a Trinity TESOL course, attain a life degree then return to Thailand where I have some part time work lined up already.  I will apply for other full time jobs once I commence then pass my TESOL course and had considered freelance work in the past, so I may well go down that road as well.  \n\nTo the critics - Yes, I am aware that a life degree is not the answer to everyone\'s problems regarding the minimum requirement of a BA to teach in Thailand.  However, I am not talking about Khao San Road dodgy diplomas here, but accredited life experience degrees that do what they say on the tin, about which I would make no bones and which are in no way illegal to utilise in seeking employment.  It is simply a means to an end as a temporary fix - I never once had the intention that a life degree under my belt would ensure a trouble-free teaching career, yet it seems that the more cynical amongst the Thailand TEFL community look down upon people that use life degrees as being some kind of lower class scum who should all be fired immediately.  Yes, there are people out there who will use fake degrees to help them get teaching jobs they don\'t care about so that they can abuse the system and take their salary for doing next to nothing, and I firmly agree that this sort should be weeded out and dealt with.  \n\nHowever, it is hardly fair to tar everybody who mentions getting a life degree to help them secure employment with the same brush.  While I don\'t have the mind to take any of that stuff personally, I do think it wouldn\'t hurt for these people to be a touch more open-minded in how they choose to make their assumptions.  I taught English for two years in Thailand to students of all age groups and levels and I thoroughly loved my work 95% of the time I was employed as a teacher.  It is something I tackle with dedication, perseverance, adaptability, motivation, passion - hardly the idle, free-loading slacker type that some would assume.    \n\nI will start an Open University degree in a couple of months and based on my available credit transfer may only have to complete 120 credits to finish the degree.

That comes later, usually from foreign travel - yes, they suddenly realise that if they want to go anywhere in the world no-one is going to speak their language so they have to speak English.\n\nPeople who don\'t travel rarely have any use for a foreign language! Of course others will be motivated to speak English for other purposes such as a specific career, or interest in English/US music - but that doesn\'t really include many Thais.

Maths and science teachers don\'t get all frustrated when most of their students don\'t want to become mathemeticians or scientists - why should language be any different. We can only provide our students with skills that they may (or may not) choose to develop in later life. Similar to Maths or Science skills, they will have a latent knowledge of the English language which will stand them in good stead when the time comes that they need or want to speak English. Of course we hope that along the way a proportion of students will become so interested that they will become fluent, but it can\'t be forced. \n\nWhen our current and ex students reach a stage in life when they realise that English is important to them, and want to learn further, that knowledge will still be there, and can be refreshed quite quickly. I have seen this in so many students who come to me for private lessons, years after their last English lesson. They have come to the decision that they want to learn, and are prepared to pay for it too, so their motivation is high. The English that they learned in school soon comes flooding back and can be built upon.That, along with confidence which comes with age and a willingness to actually speak the language results in very quick results!\n\nSo to those who continue to bemoan the poor standard of English here, maybe your expectations are unrealistic!',0,'125.26.62.29',1,'2012-08-06 02:48:25','2012-08-06 13:17:00'),(2524,9578,'Bernard','ploytaptim@yahoo.com','Sriracha/Chonburi','I more or less agree as we receive applications from people who obviously did not read the ad or understood what it was about.\nSome people seem to have a problem with Business Studies and Business English for instance...\nIf someone does not have the required qualifications and send his documents anyway, he does not respect the school either as people have to waste their time dealing with inappropriate applications.',0,'125.27.54.222',1,'2012-08-06 06:34:34','2012-08-06 15:19:15'),(2525,11825,'Oliver','francia.oliver@yahoo.com','','I am a Filipino and this is the way we are taught English in our country.

In addition, we also enrich our vocabulary and drill on correct pronunciation and intonation. We do both oral and silent reading and have to answer discussion questions in the literal, critical, and analytical levels. Furthermore, the educational system reinforces the already very effective ways in learning English by not considering such a laziness-inducing No Fail Policy ( Once you failed to meet the course standard in any subject, you get a failure grade which in turn prompts you to take summer classes or repeat the year level) and by giving power to the school to implement a very strict implementation of school rules and regulations, and to the teachers to demand adherence to classroom rules from the students. These in turn create the fear of uncompromised consequences in the students, cultivate in them a sense of responsibility, and enable the students to push their limit and realize their full potential.

For example, if someone hits another\'s  car and sees only minor damage they are likely to say \"mai bpen rai\" BUT not the person who has been hit! They will demand some compensation or call the police. Tradesmen use the phrase more often than others, usually after the completion of a shoddy piece of work, but you can bet your life that the affected customer won\'t be saying it when things go wrong soon after.\n\nI don\'t see Thai people as being any more laid-back than their western counterparts. We have all experienced their inability to queue and their impatience in traffic etc. The main reason for the slower pace of life here is simply that it is a hot country - similar to Italy, Spain and Greece. That coupled with the average Thai\'s lack of ambition can give the impression that it is a cultural thing. Not so, the main problem is that most Thais want a good standard of life, but lack the drive to achieve it. Of course there are exception, but if there is one phrase which sums up the mentality of the nation it is not \"mai bpen rai\" I think \"arai kaw dai\"(whatever) would be more accurate!',0,'125.26.54.225',1,'2012-08-17 00:28:32','2012-08-17 08:33:57'),(2566,11869,'philip','philip@ajarn.com','','Some very good theories being put forward here.

I assume your approach is some misguided attempt to get your students to speak naturally, but actually it works the other way. Native English speakers often shorten their answers grammatically, but also tend to elaborate on their answers. This is the approach that I take with my students - to get them to anticipate the next question and give a fuller answer. This gives a more natural flow to conversation, instead of Q-A-Q-A-Q-A-Q-A, you have Q-Full A - for example:\n\nQ- Did you go on holiday this year?\nA- Yes, I went to Phuket with my family for 2 weeks.\nAnticipating the questions Where did you go? How long did you stay? and Who did you go with? and thus avoiding a very unnatural conversation. \n\nMaybe you\'ve been in Thailand too long and have gotten into a stinted way of speaking (many foreigners do ) I\'m pretty sure though that if you asked a friend or colleague if they went out last night they would never just answer \"Yes, I did.\" They would tell you where they went and how it was!

After 8 years of studying English many, if not most of M2 students can\'t say more than a simple greeting. They have been taught arcane grammar rules only because their English teachers were unable to speak English. Even today most Thai English teachers can\'t hold a simple conversation in English. It is no wonder the students can only give one word answers as that is all they have been taught to say! \n\n I\'m lucky as I teach in an EP where the students are surrounded by English 80% of the day,everyday. This alone improves most of the students English skills. The lessons and interactions with the foreign teachers is invaluable in helping the students to gain confidence and new vocabulary not taught in dusty old tomes. As the old saying goes \"experience is the best teacher\" and this holds true with speaking and understanding English. By using English regularly on a daily basis the students can see real world applications of English and not just a subject to master to pass a test. \n\nI applaud Geoff in his efforts to encourage his students to speak because at the end in of the day the students will be far  better served speaking and understanding spoken English with ASEAN closing in then being able to dissect a sentence grammatically. English is the language of business and commerce and today\'s students will need these skills for their future. Of course reading, writing, and grammar will be needed but first and foremost speaking and listening skills have to top the list. \n\nKeep them talking, Geoff.

The hall was packed. There was first a cultural show by students from formal and informal schools which blended traditional Thai dance with hints of other ASEAN cultures. It really was a spectacular opening. This was followed by the charismatic leader of ASEAN, Dr. Surin, delivering a speech focusing on the importance of ASEAN countries working together to help each other. There was then a short speech by the Governor of Chiang Mai and finally the event was officially opened. Also in attendance was royalty in the form of the last princess of the Chiang Mai family line, Dr. Chao Duan Duang na Chiang Mai. Today is the last day of this event.\n\nJeff,\nLike you I am also a Thailand fan and 100% agree that teachers from the Philippines, and other countries within ASEAN where English has been promoted as a national language for many years, will have greater opportunities in Thailand from 2015. Those teachers also won’t need to worry about non-immigrant visas and work permits – I guess. However, many schools due to parent demand want ‘farang’ faces in the classroom, and those schools often aren’t concerned whether those faces are from Manchester, Moscow, Miami, Sydney or Salzburg. I can’t see this attitude changing anytime soon, but 2015 may start to influence opinions.  In my opinion, many non-native speakers make excellent EFL teachers as they appreciate more the difficulties of learning English. \n\nJade Dragon,\nThank you for your comments. I feel your post indicates the wide diversity of experiences and opinions within the foreign-teacher TEFL community.\n\nDell,\nIt sounds like teaching in a provincial town offers great opportunities.

Desapite the fact that majority of the schools in Thailand hire Native English Speakers (I realy  can\'t understand this prhase) and spents lots of money on their comfort paying much less salary to the so called non NES,  Why, Why, Why the innocent students from kindergarten to University graduates can\'t speak atleast 10 percentage like their native english speaking Teachers?  I  wonder how the students and people of non native English speaking countries like Sri Lanka, India Pakistan Philippines can speak English much better than the so called native english speakers.  They can read write understand and deliver speeches in English.The answer and reason is the above said countries recruit teachers based on therir qualification skills and experiance not according to .... Next They teach grammar right from KG whcih NES dont. Teach to be creative not to memorize what somebody wrote.Give assignments,.make students to read.  Not simplly  teach some formal and informal greeting which lazy people teach (In my country school drop out study these) Thailand  should change the srtategy\n I work in a Matheom or government school, with my prvious teaching experiance I teach grammar to students,  I  teach even the teachers. I  give them class works, gives assignment  and  never teaches  others materials which Some objects have created.  There is a great dislike for Thais to learn grammar which is influenced by the present western trend. They say don\'t learn grammar and these rules, only learn phrases.  Ho many phrases they can remember  After all we are humans not computers, I teach the teachers also by  the same method. I  teach grammer make them to use the grammar rules, I correct them. I make them speak and write  applying grammar rules.  It has worked.  \n\nBy the grace of God no teachers nor students in my class play face books nor games when I teach because I involve their active participation.  You can\'t say  they are  not of any help to you as if yoiu are greater than them. You can ask them to explain the meaning of what you teach in Thai to the students which I do .I give the Thai meaning for all vocabularies. and explaing the definition by some Thai speakers.  Now even those who couldn\'t understand English can speak speak English.  I am sure and I can guarantee that my students who listen carefully and all my student teachers can and will speak English by March 2013. \nWordsworth, Shakesphere and Wren & Martin (who wrote High School English Grammar) world wide studied in high schools were not fools.  athey know the importance of grammar.  Do you think a native english speaker can learn Thai, Hindi, Singalese, Japanese, Chinese or any language without learning grammar?\nAt last the parents are not stright with their children.  In my country, the students wo study in grade 10th - 12th gets up early in the morning at 4 studies for 2 hours goes to school. attends special tuition after school comes back home and study and does assignment before sleeping. They don\'t go to internet cafe to play games.  Here young and old goes to internet cafe either to play games, facebook or listen youtube. Here the students are reluctant to assignments.\nIn my country the teachers have a lot of work both at school and home like preparing lesson plans, model question papers, once in a month PTA etc.\nHere it is easy going.  Do you think that through out the world English is being taught by NES?  Don,t you think Thai teachers can teach English?  \nOf course they can.  We all should change the strategy.   I strongly believe that Thai students and people can speak better English in the coming days but they should be self esteemed and not over depended  onNES.

This is how it was explained to me by my (Thai) attorney. \n\nSo, if there is a signed contract, and it states that any holidays not worked are not paid, end of story. If there is a contract and it is not mentioned, I don\'t know. Interesting point. I would guess that, if someone is paid hourly or daily, whether it is in a contract or not, they do not get paid for days not worked.\n\nI noticed, Ali, that you wrote \"depending on demand\". In legalese, this is termed an \"at will\" position. It is at the will of the employer as to when they do or do not need your services. Obviously, they do not need your services on a public holiday, when the school is closed. \n\nI recommend, whenever possible, that you get a full time job that states clearly how much you will be paid per month, whether or not you actually work the hours or not. For example, last year during the flood, I had 21 employees who had 7 and a half weeks off, with pay. This is because it says, in their contracts, that they get paid, whether or not they work, in instances of circumstances beyond their control which prevented them from working.\n\nI don\'t agree at all with the negative bent of most foreigners here who say stuff like \"You have NO rights\" or \"Thai judges always side with the Thais\".

Couldn\'t find work so decided that, since my wife is Thai, we should move here. As the only thing Thailand will let me do is teach, I am doing it.  I guess that makes me an economic refugee.  A surprise to me is that I enjoy teaching, especially high school.  I come to work some days tired and frustrated from the day before.  But when I enter my classroom and am greeted by 50 happy smiling faces, my past melts away and I am happy again.  \n\nI would love to make more money here.  I would love to make more money anywhere.

I have met many Filipinos who can speak perfect English and hundreds of Americans, Brits and Ozzies who can\'t put together a single intelligible sentence.  \n\nThe question was why can\'t Thais speak English.  And then I found at least a temporary solution.  Appeal to their capitalistic needs.  Students want a good grade.  I want them to speak.

I agree with the need to find out what our student\'s needs are.  I believe before we can teach anyone we must understand what are the \'drivers\' that are motivating them to learn.\n\nI often hear teachers saying that the students only want to have \'fun\' and play games.  I think what the teachers are really saying  is that the \'challenge\' of teaching the students is beyond them and it is easier to entertain them rather than educate them.  However, I do feel that games do have a place in the classroom.   I subscribe to the philosophy of participatory learning and  believe any games that are played in a lesson should have a clear purpose and be an extention of the \'learning\' not just a \'time filler\'. I have a colleague who teachers younger students who uses games to enhance the students confidence the games are used to re enforce  learning and his students are already starting to exhibit new found English speaking skills.  In this situation I think games are very beneficial to the students and learning as a whole.\n\nI was interested to read about your experiences while been interviewed.  Although I have not shared your experiences I came to Thailand wanting to teach \'my way\' underpinned by my experiences of working with young people for more than 23 years in a wide rande of both informal and formal educational environments.

The incredibly poor teaching method is one big reason right away. Learning canned phrases off by heart without actually knowing what the individual words mean isn\'t a great way to build a foundation of speaking any language. The children are lazy beyond belief also. They are taught zero initiative in any of their subjects and so can\'t even be bothered to look up the meaning of a word if they don\'t know it. In fact the use of dictionaries is frowned upon by many of the Thai teachers. \n\nThere is zero respect for the foreign teachers also. The children see it as a joke when they are being taught by a foreign teacher. The noise levels in the class are as if I am not even there most of the time.\n\nThe only way I can teach anything is by playing competitions to see who can remember words  better than others or playing team games. \n\nBut this is only good for learning words.

If a school is violating a teacher\'s rights or a teacher is put in a position where maintaining professional standards of performance are not possible, can a teacher let the school go without penalty of breaking contract?\nThanks for your help.',0,'171.99.137.219',1,'2012-09-11 03:08:32','2012-09-11 10:41:05'),(2697,11825,'Del','derek.cowie@talk21.com','Thailand','@Kieran- you sound like you should be sharing an airport taxi with Mark - you seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder.

I do agree that about 30% depends on everything but teaching skills, but that applies in any walk of life in any country in the world. In the service industry the percentage is even higher - think air hostess, receptionist etc. Unless you are working online or locked in a cupboard somewherecalled there is always going to be an element of the \"face fitting\" involved.

A universal challenge for teachers everywhere is classroom management.  If you can\'t manage the class, you aren\'t going to teach them anything.  I was shocked at how much talking went on in my classes at the beginning but I am getting them quieter now as I gain more experience and confidence.  I am not in favor of throwing things at them as this can quickly backfire.  Silence from me seems to be effective in most cases.  That and rearranging a few students who seem to be teacher-deaf.  I have taught a few classes in the US, as well, and ran into the same problem.  Teacher friends there tell me that schools measure competence by how well teachers are able to manage a classroom.  If you can\'t do it, perhaps you should work in administration instead.\nI read much anger here toward Thai schools and students.  Anger comes from frustration in our own abilities rather than the people around us.  I suggest if you are having trouble managing a class, walk around between classes and look for the quiet classes.

If you are working those hours on a weekly basis and they don\'t offer these benefits, I would look elsewhere. There are plenty of places that will offer these perks if you are in fact a full-time salary teacher. Being paid only by contact hours really doesn\'t give you anything in the way of perks in their eyes ( and in my experience). Most of your Malls in the bigger cities in Thailand will give you a full-time salary ( plus extra if you work over the hours stated in your contract) and SOME paid holidays and SOME paid leave. I find that you are better off working for a school that will offer you a year contract with paid summer holidays. Paid summer holidays gives you anywhere from 4-9 weeks paid in a row!

There seems to be some weird kind of phobia amongst English heads to replying to applicants, it\'s beyond inefficiency. I have never found it in any other industry, and I have experience of a few . But in the teaching profession it is standard to remain unresponsive. Even before email, this seemed to be the standard response to an unsuccessful applicant, if overwork was a reason, it would seem that this is no longer valid as it takes only minutes to email a whole cohort of applicants, especially here in Thailand where secretaries are abundant. I think the problem is a deep rooted trend amongst the teaching profession, choosing not to acknowledge an applicant is better than sending them bad news, and to some extent this reflects the weakness of the British education system. Choosing to gloss over weaknesses in learning may serve to weaken pupils not strengthen them.

There are good teachers and bad teachers, just as there are good pupils and bad pupils. \n\nThe main difference being, in my view, that there\'s not a lot you can do to improve the former. Waving a piece of paper from a British university is not proof positive of a good teacher. Good teachers are naturally good teachers, but what makes them exceptional is the focus and grounding which a long course with graduated teaching experiences can provide. I have yet to meet an English teacher who fully understands our system of tenses!\n\nIt is of course possible to have good  teachers who have drifted into the profession for one of many reasons. The big bad world outside the classroom is littered with trainers, instructors, and informal teachers in every walk of life. So it is not unreasonable to guess that some might find their way into the teaching profession. \n\nEqually there must be people who are forced into teaching by circumstance, who are not so good. \n\nThe key to all this is that professional educators like ourselves, need to \n\na) spot obstacles to learning\nb) remove them\nc) motivate pupils to continue learning\nd) provide them with a focussed and relevant curriculum.\n\nIt is difficult to see how, the \"Thais cant learn English\" philosophy will result in success. \n\nThankfully  I work with a varied team with a wide range of qualifications who for the most part manage a) b) c) and d) without much difficulty.  Some are Thai, some single, some married, some married to Thais, some here to broaden their experiences but amongst them all there is a healthy lack of prejudice quite different from that detailed above, on both sides of the argument.

The problem lies with the testing and the motivation that the test engenders. If a test is multiple choice or cloze based, then succeeding in multiple choice or cloze tests is what teachers and students will work towards. This is especially true of schoolchildren, most of whom are learning only because they have school or national examinations to pass. Likewise, it influences teachers who get judged on their students results. And pretty much all these examinations are cloze or multiple choice based. \n\nSo if you want students and teachers to apply themselves to other skills, then the testing needs to be re-designed accordingly. Otherwise you\'re just pissing into the wind.\n\n But there\'s a reason that most testing is multiple choice or cloze. Listening is not so hard to test - although even then, testing multiple batches of students in different venues can skew results because of variation in the quality of sound production or acoustic environment.\n\nBut the real difficulty comes with large scale empirical testing of student\'s productive skills. It\'s notoriously hard to do. How are you going to test the speaking skills of a couple of hundred thousand school leavers over a short exam period? Who would administer the tests? How would the tests to be validated? Likewise, who are you going to find to mark a couple of hundred thousand writing scripts? And again, how are you going to ensure that the examiners are sufficiently well-trained and/or impartial that they award valid and consistent scores? \n\nThese problems arise wherever language is taught - not just in Thailand.

One may fool one\'s self that a qualified teacher (whatever that is) will make a difference - but they are deluded or have delusions of grandeur. No amount of pontification towards non-qualified teachers will change the den of inequity that exists in Thailand. Thailand\'s problem is not its teachers - it is its attitude towards education - more specifically learning English. The schools have all the substance of a holywood set - In 1994 I visited Hanoi in Vietnam - it had crosswalks - traffic lights  and even policmen made up like English bobbies - heheeh but the lights did not work - the policmen blew his whistle ad-hoc - and people crossed twenty meters from the cross walk. Actually, it was quite funny though people can get hurt or killed right? Well, Thailand is the same - it has all the trappings but as i said no substance. And of course, as Lynn sadly mentions - (lady from Malaysia) there is the prejudice come discrimination - black people, Phillipinos - Thai teachers are all treated as inferior to caucasisan teachers. Let me finish with one more analogy. Once on the Island of Koh Samui a German lady screamed that there was a gekko in her bungalow - she hastily moved to the more expensive bungalow to remedy the problem. Five minutes later she screamed again - Moral of story - Guekkos dont know the difference between a cheap or expensive (in this case) bungalow. \nSo, it goes for the Ministry of Thai education who engender - instill - enculturate a mentality that Thais can blame everyone and everything when the students do not perform - they need to look in their own back yards. You can not buy an education - you can not leave education to the machinations of corrupt/unscrupulous Thai businessmen and women -  otherwise you remain guekos. The last comment is to those with the gual and hubris to think they with their degrees can remedy all of the above - please I know better.  \nMy advice to those of you who are less arrogant - do not present a fake degree or buy one - at the same time do not be lauded over by those who presume to have the patent on who can and who can not teach well.

Now I am not saying that old teachers are the best teachers but I know teachers who have been here for 8 or 9 years and all their experience seems to be pushed aside for a younger crop who are to be fair more handsome and maybe have more energy. I have seen some pretty crappy older teachers but some younger teachers were fired from my school recently because they simply did not make the grade. In this country where so little is changing except possible more money being thrown at the system which means that more money is siphoned off while the school gets the cheapest teachers they can and they have their drinking money for the month. And so white teachers trump Filipino’s (but I have to say that I find the Filipino accent off. Recently a Filipinos was trying to say Asian and she kept of saying “Ajean”. I couldn’t get it. She said it about 5 or 10 times and in the end had to spell it. Blacks are trumped by everyone no matter where they come from unless you are superstar.  Blond hair blue eyed young teachers trump everyone. Who the hell cares if they can teach?  I wonder if the principle and co-teachers lick their lips and wonder what extracurricular activity they may get or maybe he can teach them English “privately”. Now Thailand is promoting itself as the ASEAN hub. It is always amazing in this country how little changes except the way they promote themselves. Who would come to Thailand and open a business given their poor English skills and their innate ability to blame someone else for the fact they hardly ever earn (and the laws where you cannot own anything). It is always amazing to me when the teacher gets “too serious” the teacher gets fired and until that is addressed the country will never change. As long as teachers are window dressing in the window to make the school look good no one will take the job seriously. Who cares if they have a degree? They rarely use it anyway right? It seems agencies have secured their place their year in many schools and make sure the brown envelopes keep on flowing. The cheapest newbies are recruited and thrown into schools. Most of them anyway. Everyone takes their cut. If anything I have found education getting worse. Most kids are out of control, they know they can get teachers fired on whim, and the “best teachers” are those who are fun or having fun. Blond haired and blue eyed teachers are great.

Well, it may be they do not want to say no to foreigners - you know saving face of others. \nOne thing is for sure it will not and can not change it is almost a case of cultural dissonance on both sides in what is appropriate behaviour. \nI do know that the concept of \'sanuk\' is one example, that many falangs find difficult to reconcile with academic study - and of course there are deeper issues of face (as alluded to earlier) shyness - that affect more congenial intercutltural interactions.\nI think one of the more glaring examples of cultural dissonance is who the onus of learning lies with - it seems that the rote style of learning - puts the teacher at center stage - hence, if things are not working in Thailand they look to uping the anty in terms of qualificatons that foreigners are expected to have as if that will be the panacea for their learning difficulties.\n\nI often give the analogy of Vietnam when (trying to depict teaching in Thailand) or indeed cultural differences - In 1994 there were traffic lights - a cross walk and a policeman directing traffic and yes he looked and dressed like a policmen - even an English bobby - whistle and apparel.\n\n The point is that the traffic lights did not work - nobody used the cross walk - and the whistle was used in sharp repetitive bursts.

Grammar is likewise a useful tool, and grammar does not have to be separated from spoken practice, one can teach grammar whilst focusing on spoken communication and one can even teach it without using grammatical terminology. Grammar is the system of a language, rules that help students to improvise without making mistakes.\n\nAs for origin of the teacher, it does not necessarily predict quality. The foreign language skills of most native speakers are notoriously poor, so why should teachers of EFL from those countries be presumed to be better than other teachers? The best speakers of EFL are from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and The Netherlands. Therefore, a teacher from one of those countries ought to be highly sought after in the TESOL industry.\n\nThe strong point of NESTs is proficiency and intuitive grasp of English. The strong point of NNESTs is that they have actually succeeded in learning English as a Foreign Language and are therefore more able to relate to the process the students are going through.\n\nI myself have learned English both as a native speaker and as a foreign language. I am a US citizen, a Harvard graduate, and have a degree in TESOL from The University of Edinburgh. Though realising that there are many good NESTs out there and that many NNESTs are unsuitable to teach since their English skills are very poor, I believe that requiring certain citizenships for employment is unduly discriminatory.',1,'85.230.241.30',1,'2012-11-05 03:18:05','2012-11-05 14:29:59'),(2831,11825,'MarkC','mcjmark1@gmail.com','BKK','Quote \"The reason is that Thais rely on NESTs who have no concept of how to teach English,\"\n\nNow you are saying not ALL NESTs are like that.

How can a Thai teacher/ head teacher afford a nice big house. New car every year, well nearly every year. But not all though.\nOnly one answer and that is corruption. Not many Thai teachers speak English let alone read or write it. Why do they give extra lessons to students when they finish work and then teach them what they should be teaching during the day?\nThese are all facts. Why is it a degree etc from Thailand is worth nothing in many other countries? It is the education system which is full of corruption. many university students pay people to do their course work for them. Adverts for such can be seen on jobrapido every day. It is not just teachers who are corrupt but most people who work for the government departments also. Having seen the bribes taken for visa\'s. Only the wealthy in Thailand get the best jobs and even then they do not know what they are doing. They have little regard for the law and money will resolve all issues. In other Asian countries they would be in prison for some of the things they do.How did these people get wealthy? corruption in about 95% of cases. The Dia here will have a field day with teachers etc. When 2015 comes i can see what will happen if Thailand joins the Asian community it wll be bye bye teachers,government officials etc due to the corruption.

I agree largely with NPB on native speakers. Native speakers can be great teachers or terrible ones... as can NON native speakers. The problem is definitely partly due to the government and schools assuming that native speakers are the only correct option.\n\nYears ago, when I first came to the country to work on a conservation project, then looked for a way to stay here, people told me to teach English, to which I replied that I didn\'t know how. \"Of course you do - you come from England!\" \"Well, by that rule, all Thais should be capable of teaching Thai language...\" To this, most people then had to concede that they couldn\'t in fact teach Thai despite being Thai.\n\nDespite my self-confessed lack of teaching ability, I got a teaching job, and probably messed with a lot of kids\' heads in the early days. But I learnt how to teach, and am now in a position to look at other teachers and comment on their abilities.\n\nAnd I have to say that there are loads of native speakers out there who have no idea how to grade their language to an appropriate level for their students. There are even plenty of qualified teachers who may have been great at teaching, say, biology, in their home country, but cannot accept that to teach it to non native speakers, they have to change their methods and the way they introduce both concepts and vocabulary.\n\nSo it\'s not where you come from, but how well you can grasp where your students are coming from.\n\nBut it\'s true, I\'m sure, that part of the problem is the students\' lack of motivation, especially in areas of the country where there are less foreigners. I look back to my own experiences of learning languages at school in the UK - I didn\'t see German as very useful - after all, I had never been, and never planned to go, to Germany!\n\nAnd then a big part of the problem still lies with the Thai concept of learning. Someone said that all their students say \"I want to learn English\", and yet seem to put in no effort - well, the education system has taught them that \'learning\' is just remembering a set of facts or figures. They expect that learning a language involves sitting there and letting the teacher pour the language into their brains. The concept of active learning does not exist for most Thai students of English, and that is the fault of the system, not the students.\n\nDespite this, an increasing number of Thai people DO learn to speak and write English very well. Hats off to them for realising what they have to do, and doing it. I will continue to teach as well as I can, because just a few of my students look like they\'re turning into those self-motivated learners - and it\'s my job to encourage them.',1,'110.164.58.69',1,'2012-11-05 21:37:21','2012-11-06 05:26:26'),(2835,11825,'NPB','nilsbastedo@gmail.com','Sweden','MarkC\n\nNo shovel needed.\n\nThough the average is poor, not all Thais speak terrible English. I have met several Thais who speak English quite well. I assume that most of those who speak it well have had good teachers. When I myself did corporate training in Thailand, my students improved rather quickly.\n\nAs a teacher, if one\'s students are doing very poorly, one must look at oneself. Sure, many may lack motivation and have very poor study habits due to the state of the Thai educational system and this may affect the student\'s ability to learn. I was very lucky in that I was able to construct an incentive system and dealt with students who could use what they studied on a daily basis at work. \n\nI would suppose any teacher who manages to provide good input, communicate well with the students, keep them motivated, is able to immediately suggest improvements to output, and can explain things so that they truly understandhow to construct and pronounce proper English and see the value of doing things right will have better students. Sure, Thai culture may make this a difficult challenge and many schools may prevent teachers from doing the best job possible by refusing to let them fail students who don\'t do any work, having oversized classes, etc, but Thais can learn how to speak English well. If they don\'t, it seems quite logical that the quality of the teachers have something to do with it. NNESTs may have very poor language skills and NESTs may be unable to connect with the students and help them truly understand. After all, Krashen\'s theories on language acquisition have been contradicted by scientific evidence and belief that students of a 2nd language should learn just as children learn their first language is contradicted by empirical studies. Therefore, being able to speak like a native speaker (which is rather unspecific) is not the only criterion by which a teacher should be evaluated. However, due to the influence of people like Krashen, many assume that a native speaker is always the best choice, regardless of other characteristics.',1,'85.230.242.32',1,'2012-11-05 22:50:09','2012-11-06 06:04:27'),(2836,11825,'Keith','mach142@hotmail.com','Bangkok','Fact 1/ How many native English speaking people expect other countries to speak English and do not attempt to learn that countries language?\nFact 2/ How many Native English teachers can actually teach English?\nFact 3/ Thailand is well know around the world for the 3 s\'s only.\nFact 4/ Thailand educational qualifications are not worth the paper they are printed on.\nFact 5/ Thailands social class system ensures that only the wealthy will succeed.\nFact 6/ It is very easy to buy any qualification in Thailand and then use that qualification.\nFact 7/ Thailand\'s people do not see the need to learn English so why should they.\nFact 8/ For a foriegner who can not read or speak Thai, even a little bit, it can be a dangerous place if they become ill or need a prescription as a lot of pharmacies will give them the wrong medication which is easily bought over the counter due to the lack of English skills.\nFact 9/ Thailand has far to much corruption in all areas.\nFact 10/ When 2015 comes many Thai\'s will loose their jobs due to the lack of education due to the system and the Asean community laws and regulations.\nFact 11/ Employment law has to change in line with the Asean community.\nFact 12/ Many international schools in Thailand will have to change and will not be able to make fraudulant claims as to what curiculam they teach, which they do now.\nWill Thailand join the Asean community?',1,'124.122.184.106',1,'2012-11-05 22:58:22','2012-11-06 06:04:27'),(2837,11825,'MarkC','mcjmark1@gmail.com','BKK','I studied French at school.

Teachers routinely get frustrated about the issue but you cannot solve it alone as a teacher. Culturally, the attitude about adopting English as an official language and the motivation to excel at studying it must be changed. That will not happen soon. I\'ve made formal proposals to 2 well known Universities in Thailand and the Ministry of Education outlining how to move forward. They refused because the solution requires bold initiatives and aggressive change. Instead, they need 20 years to face reality. Between 2015-2020, educated and fluent foreigners will begin flooding into Thailand taking high paying jobs away from Thai graduates. Companies will no longer be restricted from hiring Vietnamese, Burmese, Malay and other ASEAN workers who are fluent in English. After 2020, some Thai leaders will begin to wake up and identify problems that need to be addressed. They will need a few years to implement strategies. Those efforts must begin with children around age 6 as it will be largely too late to begin with older kids who will not be motivated to catch up. Therefore, the current generation of children is transitional as East meets West and is largely lost. The next 10 years in Thailand will show dramatic change as borders open, government changes and attitudes shift toward western ideals. It will be an exciting time but it will also mean the end of the \"Land of Smiles\". Adopting western mentalities, Thai citizens will largely lose their childlike innocence which we find so endearing and I fear it will become the \"Land of Smirks\" soon enough.

Thais are not polite by international standards. But thats ok , because all Thais are not polite amongst themselves, and therefore its accepted because its their standard, its the norm. What foreigners fail to understand that Thais live in Thailand, thats all they care about, thats all they know, which is perfectly reasonable given that the vast majority never even has the slightest motive to go travel outside of Thailand or SE Asia.\n\nIf you try to be \"internationally polite\" to a Thai, they won\'t even think twice about it because in their daily life 97% of the time they never receive that kind of reception. So your \"politeness\" is the anomaly not the standard.\n\nAlso, you have to think about mental and physical exertion. Thais don\'t like to exert themselves outside of what is directly needed. So in your case what is easier:\n1) Delete email. (easy, sabai sabai)\nor\n2) Reply, write \"sorry, blah blah blah\", send. (nope, takes too much effort, I\'d rather not, haha)\n\nAnd also, you have to remind yourselves that Thais avoid confrontation at all costs. Rejection is a confrontation that Thais like to avoid if they can. And in the case of emailing a rejection letter, it is easily avoidable. \n\nOf course everything is a generalization here, a broad assertion on this nation. But you have to generalize when speaking of Thailand because its such a closely knit country. Its not a multicultural society, its a uni-cultural society with deep imbedded single thought processes.\n\nIf you take your international brain and expectations out of the equation, everything makes perfect normal sense.',1,'180.183.159.72',1,'2012-11-18 19:51:28','2012-11-19 05:19:14'),(2870,11825,'Steve','xnfu27@gmail.com','Chiang Mai','I\'m not sure teachers can fix this issue, it\'s more of a society thing. As for good or not so good teachers, that self fixes itself if the society thought changes.\n\nI have taught English in Laos for 3 years. The students there are more interested and motivated, and as a result can speak English at a higher level. Why are Laos students more motivated then Thai students ? Well it comes down to the society group thought or lack there of. \n\nIn Laos they have a thirst to talk and communicate with foreigners, genuinely interested, and are eager to learn about other cultures. They are open. Why ? I don\'t know, maybe its because its a smaller country, lack of solid national identity, isolated. The wanting of traveling to other countries, to explore. Lack of society group thought governed and pushed by their government to instil a particular idea. Maybe the need to expand and grow, to evolve. Lack of Laos written books/novels/magazines and Laos TV/movies.\n\nIn Thailand they have a genuine disinterest to talk and communicate with foreigners. Not eager to learn about other cultures. They are closed. Why ? who knows. Maybe its because its a big country that houses everything that you\'ll ever need in your lifetime. No need to go outside the country, to travel, to live. Super strong instilled national identity. The abundance of everything Thai spoken and written. Strong society group thought governed and instilled by the governing forces to produce a singular idea and path.\n\nIt has to impact daily life to be truly learnt. Do you remember all your secondary education of statistics ? or chemistry ? Well probably not, because if you don\'t actually use it in your daily life it will be eventually forgotten.\n\nMy thoughts are that Thai students don\'t absorb as much as we\'d like because they never use the English language (no use, no need). Never read, write or communicate in the English language. They are perfectly happy with everything Thai language, which is perfectly reasonable since they have an abundance of material in their language including technology gadgets.\n\nI think there are 2 basic needs to learn and use the English language. English outside Thailand, and English inside Thailand.\n\n1) English outside of Thailand:\nThis one is tricky. Speaking Thai outside of Thailand, won\'t get you very far. So the obvious blanket answer would be English is the most accepted form of international language from all the countries holistically. Great ! But are your students even thinking about traveling internationally ? Living and working in a foreign country ? Probably not, even if they say yes, its a half-hearted yes at best. They are young, eyes closed, and everything Thailand, which is reasonable. \n\nSo to give them the need to learn English, you have to open their eyes, show them the world outside of Thailand. The opportunities, the enriching experience, the tastes and delights of foreign cultures.\n\n2) English inside Thailand:\nVery difficult but shouldn\'t be. There are two reasons to speak English inside Thailand.\n\n2A) Jobs and careers ! Seems simple doesn\'t it ? You\'d think by simply explaining to your students that if they excel at the English language they will be provided with a greater opportunity in the job market. Their wages will be generally higher, and would have preference over others that can\'t speak English as well.\n\nMaybe try actively showing them the opportunities that lie ahead. Clip job postings for an English speaking/reading Thai national. Create a job board, and continually post the clippings, showing all the different employers, from NGO\'s to government and private institutions. Show the difference of wages. You can do an in-class exercise if you have access to the internet or assigned homework, asking each student to find 5 jobs requiring English and 5 that don\'t. You can bring in guests, either employers or employees explaining a real life application of their English skills in the job market.\n\nAlso actively explain that everyone can get a A+ in English class, or get a degree or certificate without actually learning the subject. It might look good on your CV, and get you an interview, but probably won\'t land you that job when you have to demonstrate your English speaking and writing skills.\n\n2B) Communicate with foreigners within Thailand:\nThis one is extremely difficult to instil. As it is now\'ish, it\'s kind of like 2 worlds, no wait, more like 3 worlds in Thailand. You have Thais that speak with Thais, you have Foreigners that speak with Foreigners, and then you have the Foreigners that speak with Thai bar girls. 3 totally separate worlds within one country. The \"average\" younger and middle Thai generation don\'t generally speak with foreigners at all. I don\'t know, its a weird societal singular thought process that is going on. Whether its construed as bad, improper, or whatever. Thais always worry about what other Thais see and think, you have to keep to the norm or fear reprisal.\n\nOpen your students up to the possibilities of engaging in communications with foreigners. Actively explain that foreigners that are traveling here or staying here would love to talk with a normal local outside of the immediate tourism scene. Talk about anything, food, weather, people, activities, daily life, etc. Excite them about learning about other cultures, being inquisitive, exploring worlds with words and pictures. (this one is difficult to instil in your students, I only know that there is a universe of difference between Laos and Thai students, and this being the essential lynch pin of difference)\n\nLong and winded yes, but the Thai culture and logic is baffling.',1,'110.77.199.85',1,'2012-11-18 22:34:56','2012-11-19 06:00:10'),(2871,11825,'Kieran','gardenguru@webmail.co.za','Nakorn Sri Dhammarat','English Official Language , ??\nMr Biggs and co upset because English has not been afforded official status by the Thai government ..?

The teacher obviously does not understand the need for having a plan.  What needs to be addressed here is how useful a \'straight to the point\' simple lesson plan can be and more important how it can help the lesson to run smoothly.

I observed that the schools wasn\'t able to foresee what the tests aims to measure. Yet I also think that there couldn\'t be reasons for a wasteful practice around these skills because it\'s still learning and well, communicative competence is raised in a higher bar. I couldn\'t also raise a question about reading comprehension as the focus of the test because at the first place, listening and speaking aren\'t assessed in a written-response type of tool. \n\nAnyway, the paradigm shift that you were actually telling about should really be followed because in a typical ESL classroom (especially in Thailand\'s case where ELT is just a recent endeavor) comprehension through reading and a great focus on form and accuracy should be the paramount priority because it would constitute knowledge about rules of the TL and consequently a slow development of the meaning. In the Philippines, English is a required subject but we have gone off the traditional way of teaching English as a second language. The focus now is the association between form and meaning.

James had a pop at me assuming I didn\'t have a degree and held a grudge against anyone who has one. That wasn\'t the case and James in general missed the point of the discussion anyway.\nThe sad fact is that the salaries here unless you work within the International school arena are very low and by and large a lot of good teachers are moving out of Thailand to better pastures.\nA degree shows you have done an element of study certainly but, as already stated it doesn\'t make you a good teacher if that\'s your field.\nI have a friend who is a mechanic in the UK, he has been for 25 + years. He has always know the workings of the internal combustion engine and how a car is put together. He doesn\'t have a degree and for many years he has provided a sterling service to everyone. What he does have now is a wall full of certificates that Brussels require him to have to tell people he knows how to change a spark plug etc.\nMost of our language skills are born from our parents we use them automatically, if you are that certain kind of person you can teach and instruct someone how to use the language, how to write a letter and how to pronounce a word. In a lot of cases that\'s what is needed here. A degree helps you if you want to earn an International School wage.\nAnother big problem here is the books used in Thai schools. I really wish they wold go out of their way and employ an English speaker to proof read their master\'s before printing.\nI looked at a Pailin book which was proudly presented to me by a Thai gentleman who seriously wants to improve his English. I had a quiet bet with my colleague as to how far in the first mistake would be, because there will be several, it was page 4, page 1 was the Preface and pages 2 & 3 were the contents pages.\nThis is so wide spread, my Prathom students were being taught by Thai teachers using the Advanced English series, the mistakes in basic grammar are amazing, but if they employed a farang to proof read all those mistakes would be picked up and corrected.\nI\'ve digressed a little here but in the main I believe that whether a teacher has a degree or not is largely irrelevant. What is important is whether they have the knowledge to teach grammar and the ability to impart that knowledge to children of any age and a degree doesn\'t automatically mean you can.\nOne final point James seemed quite keen on was who could teach English and based on his statements, for example, an ex-police officer with a degree in Law would be able to teach English because he has a degree and is educated, well there is one working in an International school, and I have to say his grasp of grammar is terrible. So this just goes to show that a degree is not necessarily the be all and end all of teaching. Much as we hate the idea of teachers without degrees teaching here or with fake degrees from that famous road or with lesser qualifications.

However, we have applied a different \'model\' to the one you propose.  We have marketted ourselves at 325 baht an hour if a student books 20 hours equating  to 6,500 baht.  The majority of our students are looking for conversation skills and this is where we propose that if the student can find a friend or we can \'match\' them  with another student of the same ability we can reduce the fee.  We also make the point that a small group of two or three students leads to a more interesting lesson and is more beneficial to their learning.  We also recommend two hour slots rather than just one hour slots. \n\nWe reduce the price using the following formula;\n\nOne student 6,500 for 20 hours\nTwo students  6,000 each for 20 hours\nThree students 5,000 each for 20 hours\nFour students 4, 000 each for 20 hours.\n\nThis approach has been very successful and the majority of students come in pairs or small groups of three.

I am a retired American aerospace quality engineer who faced the xenophobic attitude towards other functions in projects (e.g., system engineering, reliability, configuration management, project management, etal).  Breaking down those phobias (attitudes) are not easy.  Can I offer an observation?  If not, then read no further.  If I can, then continue.\nI developed a course in two aerospace companies where I recognized that even though we spoke a common language we put different meanings, some dramatically different, to the words spoken.  It is those meanings that caused project conflict at times.  Understanding them made myself and those I trained fluid in movement between the functions of the project.  They could interpret what wasbeing said so others could grasp the intent of the wording.  Thus, smooting the way to successful projects and programs.\nNow, a further question is, how can this be leveraged as a lesson for us -- the teachers of English to thai students.  If I may, as a good quality engineer one must first assess where the level is of the students being taught.  Then, as that good quality engineer do a gap analysis -- now what that means to a teacher is recognizing the gaps between what the subject is and the knowledge is.  Deming, a long time guru in Quality, ( and I paraphrase here) once postulated that to know the problem is to understand how to resolve it.  Now, he was a statistician but the principle he taught applies.\nIn teaching English I ran into the same problems mentioned here by others.  I did my assessment and found that the students while not proficient in English were in math.  Math has a logic to it.  What I mean by that is there are many ways to solve a math problem.  Use the examples of math to show the students they can say what they want many ways also.  The English language is difficult enough to grasp but if we show where it is concurrent in logic with math it can become a leverage learning tool.\nThe last school I worked at in Phimai, I used this to interest the students.  And I worked alone with students 99% of the time.  Now, I am not a linguist by any means but using math logic I was able to reach the students who were even \'slightly\' interested.  \nOh, and I made a game of the math and language combination later leveraging that in teaching American culture and some Native American indian phrases.  On a scale of 0-4 grading, over 80% of my students scored at 2.5 or better in English (combination of comprehension, speaking, reading and writing).  \nIf people want to discuss this feel free to contact me at my skype ID: JamesLHutchins or in email: james_L_hutchins@yahoo.com \nIf you live in or near Korat, my wife and I might meet with you at the Korat Mall Starbucks on a Saturday sometime by arrangement.\nI have to admit it is not easy but, as the son of teachers myself and a U.S. Marine, I learned decades ago -- life and living are not easy but an adventure if you accept it.  \nI await anyone interested.\nJames L. \"Hutch\" Hutchins',1,'124.122.76.244',1,'2013-03-30 21:59:46','2013-03-31 08:45:06'),(3179,13705,'Rene Jay Ordman','torredefullola@gmail.com','North Thai','Somchai.

Teachers come and go. You can complain or not but they always think they will find someone to accept the pay or conditions and only when a few brave souls stand up and say they are not accepting it, they may take notice but slowly the new rules and regulations and way of doing things are lowered on the staff below. But I am always surprised at the farang bosses who become brown noses and just accept whatever comes from the top. Maybe deep down they just don’t give a sh*t. If you don’t like it then leave and that is what some people do. In my school which promotes itself as a top tier school, they do very little for you buy expect this top tier education. I was teaching science this year and was not given a bottle of cleaning alchohol the whole year. The parents were great and would try and bring what I asked them for labs, but the school itself couldn’t care less. They then had the gall to complain about my classes. I felt like saying are you sh*ttin me? You have done nothing for me the whole year. You wish to complain. Unfortuntely so little in this country is about education and so much about face and looking good and what the kids think. Some Thai teachers had the balls to come and tell me what they thought education should be. If the kids are not running around like headless chickens they think they are not having any fun. Screaming at the top of their voices. This is what Thai education amounts to. And this is why this country never really progresses, the kids cannot write and you can either accept it or not. Some do. Some don’t. the teachers who seem to last are the ones in my opinion who don’t give a damn. They don’t take it too seriously. Damn if they learn something. Damn if they don’t. Then the parents who seem to complain at the drop of a hat and this seems to be increasing. Now maybe they do sometimes pay a lot of money but the parents are as much as a hinderence as a help. Parents are far too quick to complain, and the teacher will be out the door and a new one in, and so the new teachers just is a yes man.

Somebody may be offended because females do not cover their faces in public, or males shave their beards. Is the whole world supposed to avoid offending such idiots?

Also, there are always 2 sides to every story.  After having been here for over 12 years, I find that some schools are a great fit and others are not so much.  When stuck in a position where the school is not appreciating the teacher\'s effort, or the teacher is not appreciating the school, it is best to find a better \"home\" or, quite simply, time to make a change.    And, IMHO, Labour courts don\'t always offer the long-term satisfaction (or short term results) one desires but they do serve a valuable purpose.\n\nTo say this type of situation is a \"Thai thing\" is disingenuous because we have all read to the \"horror stories\" of teaching in China or Korea.  In addition, all you need to do is read CNN, BBC or any other news outlet from the U.S. and U.K. to see the battles and bitterness surrounding education/teaching there (vocal parents with an agenda, over crowded classrooms, lack of resources, learning-disabled or emotional unstable students, teachers being paid based on standardized test results, schools loosing funding or being closed based on standardized test results, teachers without qualifications being hired by local education boards, and teachers prior to obtaining tenure being forced out for nebulous reasons...the concept of tenure itself is under attack).   \n\nRacism, or judging one by their appearance, is also not a uniquely Thai attribute. I grew up in an area of outright racism...violent, ignorant racism...  Regardless, judging someone based on the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, their religion, their economic status, etc. is wrong whatever the location or industry (or reasons).  I spent years \"preaching\" equality but, in the end, it came down individual connections that changed people\'s thinking.  All I can suggest is to focus on changing each individual\'s perception rather than feeding into their preconceived (and wrong-headed) notions.   Nothing that is said will change a person\'s mind until they meet someone that defies what they believe to be true.\n\nFinally, I don\'t believe the finger can be pointed at agencies since there are good and bad agencies just as there are good and bad schools...or even good and bad teachers.  Each situation, teacher, agency, and school is unique.  Just as some schools are not a good fit for a teacher, some agencies are not as well (and vice-versa).  The truly bad agencies don\'t stay in business in the long run...and the truly bad schools change their tune after \"too much bad press\"...and the truly bad teachers end up leaving because they can\'t find gainful, stable employment.\n\nI wish you the best of luck but if you are an experienced, qualified maths teacher then employment will be quite easy to find.  Go out there and find a more positive working environment but remember to leave the past (experience) behind you.

When I asked class joker to tell me about his partner, he got straight to the point - \"she\'s the first girl I\'ve ever seen with a moustache\"\n\nThe class roared with laughter.

Thailand to live and work is nothing like Thailand for a holiday. The Thai education system does not value education or qualifications. Most money goes on junkets and superficial painting and gardening in schools. It is the same for private and government schools - just the financial \"routing\" is a little different. Most of the horror stories you read are based on truth, even if \"enhanced\" a bit by frustrated \"victims\". Immigration is a big problem for the first year - better after if you don\'t change schools. I have a Thai (and UK) teacher licence but I don\'t think you get it for a 120 hour TEFL. Lastly - the World does know about Thai qualifications (TEFL) so you may well lose out to anyone who has a UK/Australian TEFL / DELTA when you move on in the future.\n\nThe weather is good, and the country is not overcrowded.

Returning to the States has been the hardest thing I\'ve ever experienced in my life.\n\nI experienced so much stimulation abroad in the form of new places and experiences, then to have all that go away over night was overwhelming.  To be back in the States and surrounded by unhappy people following a cookie-cutter plan for living continues to be a depressing shock to my nervous system. I also hadn\'t developed the best re-entry plan.  I knew I\'d be returning without a job lined up.  But a lack of direction on what to do for work has only compounded my anxiety of being stateside. Also, the economy is still struggling here. \n\n But it\'s not all bad.  A big plus is being able to communicate freely with everyone around me.  I love being able to have deep conversations with people I meet while going about my daily life.  I also like the diversity of people in the U.S.  For me, the diversity of people is the greatest strength of the US.  Immigration has gone on long enough that you can now find families from India, China, and other Asian countries running hotels and restaurants in the small backwaters of Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas.  In places like Texas, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, Minnesota, and Massachusetts,  you find populations that mimic a meeting at the UN general assembly.  The most diverse cities in the world are found in the U.S. and Canada (Toronto).  While I enjoyed my time in Chile and Argentina, those countries were more of  a monculture. \n \nAnyway, thanks for sharing your experiences about Thailand and your temporary return to the States.  I think anyone that has spent significant time away from their home country gets scared and anxious when returning. It really is the hardest part of the whole process.  I\'m still scared and anxious, and I\'ve been back for over six months now.  My decision to stay in the U.S. for now has to do with the ease of socialization here and a need to figure out a clearer path for the future.

There are possibly a dozen high-end bicycle shops in the city, including a shop in Nonthaburi  that displays numerous models in the ฿240,000 range. The folding commuter models are also popular. I’ve seen about a dozen different makes and models on the streets. I frequently see small groups of guys and occasionally a girl riding racing models together. And I see quite a few riders on very basic models, occasionally attached to a street vendor cart. \n\nI’ve been riding for nearly three years. Last year I commuted twenty-six kilometers a day, weather permitting and occasionally when it didn’t but looked like it might. The year before I commuted by bus but took a folding bicycle for the final three kilometers, saving ฿200/week which would pay for the bike in about three years. \n\nIt’s great fun and good cardiovascular exercise, despite the heat. It does help to carry fresh clothes and take a college shower in the restroom before reporting for duty. It’s a bit of a conversation starter and a fun activity for dates. \n\nThere have been unfortunate incidents. The first bike I bought in Thailand was stolen right outside of Century Mall. I had chained it to a post for surveillance cameras only to discover that they weren’t yet in operation. One lady, whose behavior hardly qualifies for such a respectful term as she wouldn’t pay for it, drove over my front wheel. I had to replace the spokes on both wheels so they would match. I was sideswiped by a taxi, which threw me over the handlebars. I scraped my knee and elbow and ruined my slacks. By the time I retrieved my bicycle, which somehow wound up about four meters behind me, and got the chain back on the sprockets, the taxi driver was long gone. I hit a pothole that was obscured by a puddle of dirty rainwater and came off the saddle. I braked abruptly to avoid a car, came off the saddle and punctured my palm on a nail protruding from a planter. And I managed to crash while engaging in a running water pistol battle during Songkran a year ago. \n\nThere have been a few inconveniences. Some bus drivers went out of their way to avoid picking me up when I had my commuter bicycle, even though it was in its cover. Century Mall is somewhat hostile to cyclists, so I rarely shop there. \n\nYes, there are some negative aspects to cycling in Bangkok, but it’s nice to have the option. Taxi drivers often refuse you, charge you an exorbitant flat rate or take the scenic route to run up the meter. Tuk-tuks are overpriced. Motorcycle taxis sometimes charge more than taxis and only take short runs. Buses are slow and overcrowded.

I had wanted to pursue a CELTA certificate; but, I have my doubts.

I will definitely try to remember it while teaching English.  We, and I have to count myself as one, English speakers presume that the manner of speech is normal.  But, we forget that normal is a value judgement which is not absolute.  I had a Latin teacher once who influenced me as much as my parents.  Why?  He was a funny, fun little guy.  He spoke over 30 languages fluently.  I took his class because after miserably trying Spanish, German and French I need at least 2 years of a foreign language to get into a reputable college or university.  I thought if I could just pass I would be doing well.\n\nWhat I learned in his class was there was a relevance to a dead language -- Latin by hime was made alive.  He taught me there was a mathematical, musical structure and logic to it.  When I got that locked into my brain -- the music and logic of it -- learning it became easier.

All my students were incredibly weak in English even though they were well, if not highly motivated and delighted with the opportunity or to be more accurate, encouragement, to speak. Many of them reported their school teachers “just let us to sing a song”.\n\nI didn’t know about the “NETP” but a very quick check on the Internet showed some very bad press for it including allegations that it was just a public money junket, and verifiable information that “teachers” had to spend money on dubious training. I then recalled attending a meeting myself on a University campus in about 2008 to check on an English project and found it was the same project. The person running the recruitment drive I attended was a native English speaker but clearly selling the “training” was the main purpose of the event, and there were very few native speakers of English attending.\n\nThe progress report on the “NETP” by is nothing more than a PR effort for the NETP and by association, for Philipines ”teachers”. It presents no evidence, qualitative or quantitative to suggest it has been successful. It lists six plus nine “factors” which are also unsubstantiated. \n\nOne of the factors listed as responsible for the highly questionable performance of the project is “5. Prestigious scholarship grants for English coordinators and top students of Prathum and Mathayom to undergo training in England for 20 days all expenses paid by the Nonthaburi government”. One may surmise that this confirms the value of exposure to “native speakers” which if justified begs the question, why are non-Thai non-English native speakers being employed to teach Thai children. It is most unlikely that 20 days “training” in England will produce a measurable improvement in anyone already employed as a supposedly qualified practicing English teacher. \n\nWhen one sees unbridled propaganda or flattery, it is wise to check the author’s motive. One blog noticed on my cursory Internet search stated that 90% of the teachers were from the Philippines with a few Africans. The author of “How’s the project doing?” has a Spanish sounding name so, the Philippines being a former Spanish colony, he may be from the Philippines and the motive for this glowing report could be simply to market the Philippine export of labour. It is patently clear from the poor grammar and unusual  lexis that Benito Vacio is not a native speaker.\n\nOf the many Philippine Nationals I have witnessed working as English teachers, not one has been effective in helping the students with English. Their English knowledge and proficiency is too low, and their teaching methodology and motivation skills are sadly lacking or more usually absent. \n\nThe success of the “Nonthaburi Project” can best be judged by investigating the English performance of students who have been passed through it and the present evidence is that it has not produced any better outcomes than the run-of-the-mill English education in Thailand.\n\nUntil the Thai National Government repatriates all the ill-trained, poor English skills “foreign” teachers back to Manilla, Nairobi and sadly (some – not all backpackers) to Berlin or even London, and brings in trained NETs whose remit is to spend at least some time working with the many excellent Thai English teachers who really care about Thai students, there will be no measurable improvement in English standards.',1,'110.164.74.70',1,'2013-05-27 20:50:10','2013-05-28 06:57:35'),(3315,13710,'Jason Alavi','americanenglishthailand@gmail.com','Rangsit','VERY well written article. Well balanced and fair.\n\nThe only thing I would take exception to is the author\'s comment \"And, without a work permit, even if your employer does abuse you in some way, you have absolutely no legal rights in Thailand... because, technically, you\'re working illegally.\" \n\nTechnically speaking, strictly from a legal point of view, that\'s not true. It is the employer\'s responsibility, not the employee\'s, to procure a valid work permit for each and every employee that works for more than 10 hours per week, on average, contracted or not. If the employee can prove that they have provided their employer with everything the employer needs to get a valid work permit and the employer has no \"good\" reason that they failed to do so, the employer is in trouble, not the employee. \n\nWhether or not an employee has a valid work permit, they still enjoy protection under the law, against unfair treatment by an employer. So a teacher shouldn\'t worry about taking an employer to court, because the employer never got a work permit for them. If anything, the mere threat of a lawsuit, merely for failing to do what the law requires the employer to do, and the resultant bad publicity with the client school, wold probably be more than enough to get the employer to do the right thing, whatever that might be, to keep it out of court. \n\nUrban legends about the heinous, cruel, completely unfair Thai labor court system, aside, my personal experience, as a volunteer interpreter in the Thai Labor Law Courts of Bangkok have proven to me that most of the judges are reasonable, fair people who respond well to other reasonable, fair people.\n\nAgain, good article.',1,'125.25.39.137',1,'2013-05-31 08:21:37','2013-05-31 23:47:19'),(3316,13580,'Tom Tuohy','tommytuohy@yahoo.co.uk','Riyadh','Like that Irish comedian used to say, \"And there\'s more...\"\n\nhttp://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/643498-five-car-pile-up-brings-bangkoks-ratchada-to-a-standstill/?utm_source=newsletter-20130601-1101&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=news',1,'86.51.168.74',1,'2013-05-31 22:40:22','2013-06-01 10:41:02'),(3317,12634,'shem','shemwatson@yahoo.com','Bali','Hi what would happen to one of these foreign owned apartments in the advent of the building being knocked down / redeveloped etc?',1,'202.167.15.165',1,'2013-05-31 22:46:09','2013-06-01 10:41:02'),(3318,13633,'Alice','switters007@gmail.com','Wonderland','While I sympathise with you having been fired, I just don\'t understand why you would want to stay at a school which clearly does not appreciate your hard work.

I appreciate your feedback and comments, but let\'s keep it constructive, eh?\n \nAs far as it being \"too bloody hot\" in Thailand for a cardigan, well, I\'ve just got this to say about it: I\'ve spent a fair amount of time in Thailand (for a combination of vacations, muay thai training camps, and visa runs from Burma), and if I had to say that one or the other is hotter, I\'d say that Burma is definitely hotter.  And I do wear cardigans here.  And so do the Burmese teachers at my school.  All year round.  And being a poorer country, there are fewer air-conditioned places in Burma.  And women still cover up with a cardigan.  It goes back to the modesty factor.  And even if it\'s true that the local women don\'t wear cardigans, you do realise that behind your back, they are picking apart everything about you and your clothes, right?  It\'s a double-standard, but they really do notice if you show too much skin and for sure it\'s been talked about.\n \nIn Burma, trousers are seen as the men\'s domain.  When I first wore trousers to work, my colleagues asked if I was ill.  But they got used to my funny western fashions.  And when clothes /were/ an issue at work, it was not because of my pants; it was because of my decolletage (another great reason for a cardigan... you can button all the way up to your neck if you start feeling overexposed).\n \nFlip flops.  If the rest of your outfit screams \"PROFESSIONAL!!!\", people don\'t notice that you\'ve got flip flops on your feet.  Today, I wore a light blue button-up men\'s-style linen blouse, charcoal trousers, and accessorised with a thin gold watch.  Trust me, no one was looking at my feet.  And I hope I\'ll last five minutes in a Thai school because I\'ve had enough of the crazy inflation in Burmaland and I\'ll likely be moving to Thailand at the end of the month.  :D\n \nCheers,  Marguerite\n \nPS. I would not personally wear trousers three days in a row.  I might go three wearings before washings (in this climate, usually only one or two, though), but that would be over the course of about two weeks.  And no, I don\'t stink.

One wonders why Sensei Aijin has dropped “Philippines”. Is it to try to appear impartial and objective, or has a friend got him or her a job so he or she has now escaped from the Philippines?\nAs I think the post is off topic, albeit targeting me personally, I will respond only briefly and invite Sensei Aijin to post an item on the quality of teachers as a separate topic. \nIn paragraph 1, Sensei Aijin claims I reported “Not even one Filipino teacher was effective in teaching English”. This simply proves Sensei Aijin (we will guess she is female) cannot read English accurately. My evidence was “those I have witnessed” although I suspect her sweeping “not even one” is probably correct. In answer to her question, I think most school administrators, like most of us, buy by price, and availability, not quality even though we know we would be better off buying quality goods.  Cheap and available “teachers” usually means a Filipino.\nIn paragraph 2, she raises the issue of students “buying essays, job application letters and so on from Filipinos.” This happens I know, but it is cheating! Students are trying to deceive teachers, employers and others that they (the applicant and candidates) are better than they are. If Filipinos are doing this then they are colluding in the cheating, just as drug users and drug sellers are both culpable. It it is something we (teachers in English universities) are trying to stamp out, but I have never seen such students actively searching out Philippines nationals. That would be a bit like a thief driving a car with a red flashing light, a siren and the word “ROBBER” written on the side.\nConsidering the unfairness of “repatriating the foreign teachers in her paragraph 3, that is yet another miss-quote. What I said was “all the ill-trained, poor English skills “foreign” teachers back to Manilla, Nairobi … London” which is quite different. If anything is unfair, it is Sensei Aijin stating that Nonthaburi students “have a slow learning capacity”. Thai students - all students – have pretty much the same learning capacity. It is the opportunities (mainly SES) that make the difference. She is demonstrating the well recognized self-fulfilling prophesy which if she were a trained teacher she would not do.\nTo answer Sensei Aijin’s question in the last paragraph, I want teachers who have some training and proven knowledge of the subject they teach. Teachers who care more about their students than about their own wage packet and their escape from poverty and a dull job in a call centre. I do not want teachers who care about an easy job and the status of “teacher” - even though domestic helpers get paid better, free flights and protection in other jurisdictions. I do not want teachers who teach weird intonation and pidgin grammar. I am glad workers from poor countries can earn money in rich countries to improve their lives. Saudi, Hong Kong and Merchant Shipping are full of seamen, cooks, maids and drivers who do a good valuable job. But when it comes to teaching children, those masquerading as “teachers” can do long term harm to the students’ future prospects.\nOn teaching web sites, there are a significant number of Filipino teachers who claim to be “Native English Speakers”. It is “very rare” to find a person of ANY nationality whose L1 is of a different nation. Check any decent linguist e.g. Crystal, Malinowski, Krashen, and learn your subject. Why do they do it? \nIt is the deception that is most unforgivable and another word for deception is “cheating”.

This usually happens when Immigration officers in the Philippine\'s international airports are trying to look for ways to coerce us to shelve out money just to get out of the country. There has been so many complaints about this not only for Filipinos who work in Thailand but elsewhere too. I don\'t really like to say something negative like this about my country, but its a fact that corruption is very rampant in our country\'s government, even the mere rank and file government employee tries to find ways to make an extra buck. Of course corruption happens here in Thailand too, but in my opinion, if I compare it with corruption in our country, ours is purely and insanely ridiculous. That\'s why I have my family here with me, and we rarely go back home, because our compatriots at home think we earn millions from teaching in Thailand. There\'s just many taxes and fees to pay just to get in and out of the country. Especially in Manila\'s international airport terminals, where they ask you to pay for an expensive friggin TERMINAL FEE for you to use the facilities of an ugly, mediocre and run-down Airport. Plus you get the chance of being scammed by these opportunist government officials coming up with lousy and senseless ways to NOT let you get out of the country because they claim they are \"just protecting you from human trafficking etc\" BS and so on. \nI would like to add a few things here to our fellow Filipinos who might be reading the article above and this comment on how to DEFEND and PROTECT yourself from instances like these:\n1. When something goes wrong and you are pretty sure you have all the correct papers as specified by fellow travelers who were able to get through successfully, Don\'t PANIC. Be cool but act intelligent.\n2. Assert your right to Know the reason why they might offload you. Make sure you ask clear questions and ask them to clarify their reasons. Every answer they make should make perfect sense or else they are just making it up.\n3. Politely ask for their Full Name and ID number, or take down notes of who you interact with. You are allowed to get their full name and ID because they are government workers and they should abide to public trust.\n4. If you sense that you are going no where with your discussions because he/she is playing hardball, POLITELY ask for their supervisor. Continue writing down getting their names and ID. Escalate to a higher-up if nothing happens with that supervisor.\n5. Remember that you have a Right to know and a right to criticize their reasoning. As a citizen of the country, government officials are responsible to serve,act and treat you with respect.\n6. Do not raise your voice when you talk to them, and if they raise theirs, politely ask them to calm down. Refer to #5\n7. If they claim something new in their policies, ask them to show the memorandum about it and take note of it. It should be signed and sealed with the RP emblem by the Bureau of Immigration or DFA.\n8.

The court require the employer, should they wish to avoid severance pay and claim gross misconduct, to have written records of all warnings issued and a written or verifiable recorded comment that the warning was received. I believe the court suggest\'s that 3 warnings are reasonable before dismissal.\nThe idea that an employer can turn up at the court with some quickly drafted letters or the like is not permitted. Any claim for gross misconduct has to be recorded in full before the Thai Labor court will even entertain hearing a misconduct claim.\nIt is fair to say this rarely happens as not many employers have the foresight to keep exact records and any employee is easily able to defend against any employers attempt to present false documents.

However, as a parent, I am concerned that many Thai schools are not offering quality to their students as the pay and conditions they offer surely cannot guarantee to provide a stable, high quality group of teachers.',1,'161.200.155.56',1,'2013-08-12 19:16:21','2013-08-13 04:05:59'),(3450,14999,'James','graham@junotecs.com','Thailand','As much as I understand that the sudden absence of a teacher and the disruption that it causes to a school and the students is hardly ideal I have to admit that the majority of my sympathies lie with the teacher and not the school.\n\nIn my opinion, teacher loyalty (or the lack thereof), is due to several factors.\n\nIt seems to be standard procedure now to offer 10 month contracts with an end of contract bonus (if you\'re fortunate).   These contracts mean that we are essentially without work for a full quarter of the year.   \n\nI am lucky enough to at least get an end of contract bonus and a paid holiday in October.   Sadly, it seems that even this is changing.   Some schools and agencies are now insisting on two 5 month contracts and no bonus, essentially meaning that we can only really earn for 9 months in a calendar year.\n\nSalaries have not increased at all and have, if anything, gotten worse.     The cost of living in Thailand is increasing all the time.    I essentially live hand to mouth and save very little.    Hardly a sustainable situation going forward.    \n\nTeachers are expected to cover all their own visa and work permit costs which can be significant in relation to our already poor salaries,\n\nWorking conditions are hardly ideal in the vast majority of schools.   Poor communication, constant demands for extra-curricular activities and the like with little or no compensation.\n\nI didn\'t come to Thailand to make my fortune.   I needed a change in my life and was very happy to do something completely different for little or no financial gain.\n\nHaving said that, I certainly do not expect to have to constantly dip into my own pocket to do what is essentially a paid job.   I am not a volunteer and I do expect to be rewarded appropriately for my time and hard work.\n\nIt seems as if teachers and schools / agencies are locked in a downward spiral.   As the conditions of employment worsen so does the overall standard of teacher candidates.    Over the last 2 years I have seen every kind of teacher imaginable come and go.   \n\nSome were good, the majority were awful.    The situation is not improving and if there is to be any change it needs to come from both sides.\n\nI have been with the same agency for several semesters now, they are by many standards quite well run and effective.   That has not meant smooth sailing and I have had several disputes with them around monies owed and working conditions.   I am at the point where I am ready to resign.\n\nAs much as I would like to do this in a fair and ethical manner with the appropriate notices and such, I am afraid to do this.\n\nMy visa can and will be cancelled immediately, any outstanding salaries will no doubt not be paid and I am pretty sure that I can forget about anything approaching a reasonable reference.    What choice to I have under these conditions except to resign on pay day and head off to my new job?    \n\nI know that I am by no means in the minority here.   The way some teachers are treated is nothing short of reprehensible and I have all the sympathy in the world for a teacher who is only trying to better his/her own personal circumstances.\n\nUnder conditions such as these is it a surprise at all when a teacher suddenly leaves for greener pastures?\n\nPerhaps if schools and agencies started offering more competitive salaries and contracts, perhaps if they treated their teachers with the respect and care they deserve as human beings then teachers would feel more responsibility towards their schools and students?',1,'180.183.232.192',1,'2013-08-12 20:33:26','2013-08-13 04:05:59'),(3451,14999,'Jonathan','jonathanbkk2011@gmail.com','Thailand','I would like to add my two pence worth. A lot of schools I agree treat foreign teachers with contempt and as most people say we are there to make money for the school. Not necessarily the case for all government schools. \nWho are we there for? The school? Maybe, but I would hope that most teachers would say that they are there for the children, to offer the kids a chance to improve their English, which has to be said is like herding sheep sometimes.\nContracts are pretty much worthless, so rely on the Labor Act 1988 look it up and that\'s your contract.\nA lot of school offer just the term time 8 1/2 months so less than two thirds. If your at a school on 10 months remember that\'s 83% of the year salaried plus whatever bonus you get for completion or resigning we did have an error where someone stated it was less than 70%. So a 10 month is not that bad. Salaries are low compared to everywhere else but I suspect there are not any qualified teachers as in teacher trained four years at university etc etc that are working here in a school for a salary for only 8.5 months of the year. Those teachers will be in the International schools earning a proper wage and for the whole 12 months plus benefits.\nI am currently in the 8.5 bracket however only due to the fact that my Thai employer said that they would pay 9 1/2 months but I was told recently they will not pay the October break. Having said that I have over 720 students and whilst I am annoyed I feel a sense of responsibility to see Pratom 6 off to Mattayom and to help as much as I can with my other students before moving on.

The misconceptions about what is normally accepted practice imposed on or expected from teachers is what I am driving at.\n\nLesson plans for a term ahead and other nonsense including the lack of job security (contracts generally being for only 12 months.) are ridiculous notions imposed on teachers here because they are either not familiar with teaching in their home country and/or there is no union representation/support here so we teachers are often at the whim of  . . well, either TEFL\'ers who have become managers and do not understand teaching from the perspective of career teachers from the west or Thai managers (nuff said).\n\nThe biggest problem is that the Thai government only pay lip-service at present to the importance of speaking English hence they are happy to pay people who would not/could not be teachers in the west to teach in Thailand because they are cheap. The general range of salaries varies but a government school pays about 30,000baht and Language schools the same except for two I know of. Only international programs pay a living wage where it is possible to actually save some money. \n\nPersonally I hope that with the changes coming to Asia soon the Thai government realises that if they want stability in schools, career teachers who will stick around and are qualified having a PGCE and more . . they have to pay.\nEmploying young people just out of university and wandering the tropics for a year or two before going back home is not the way to improve education in Thailand.\nIf only teachers already experienced and properly qualified in their home countries were able to work here it would be better for the schools, the students and for the profession of teaching in Thailand.',0,'110.169.240.214',1,'2013-09-30 08:39:56','2013-10-01 15:24:25'),(3561,15292,'Christopher Botha','cbotha08@gmail.com','Thung Song','Great comments, all of this is so true.Good on you',0,'61.7.214.131',1,'2013-09-30 18:31:39','2013-10-01 15:24:25'),(3562,15292,'andy Fleming','andy.fleming2@gmail.com','Udon Thani','Good article Kylie\n\nI think you make some excellent points.

That is, in a way that awakes in them their spirit of scientific curiosity, or that cultivates the proverbial \'inquiring mind\', or intrinsic motivation to learn and possess knowledge. \n\nThe best they can hope for is to at least give classrooms the guise of being educational environments by having students look their way. Or not be sleeping or sitting there switched off or chatting to their mates (or applying their make-up, or doing their homework, or playing with their mobile phones, or any of the other ways students have traditionally whiled away their social conditioning via the microphone). So that is what they go for.\n\nIt is another reason why unqualified and/or inexperienced foreign teachers are often preferred, they are not as reluctant (ashamed) to go along with this immersion in the shallow end of the intellectual pool.\n\nHave a look how many \'MEd\' students in Thai universities are producing theses that find the positive side of using songs or games in the classroom, for example, or that justify reneging on modern academic standards.\n\nThe Korean education system, and especially hagwons, put teachers under direct compulsion to opt for mindless \'fun\' (for a moron) over thinking and doing. Google it up.\n\nThis website from Japan intimates the same:\n\nhttp://www.teaching-english-in-japan.jp/excellent-english-teacher/understand-students-needs\n\nThe idea, by the way, that unqualified teachers are good teachers is peculiar to Thailand, and other places where they do not appreciate the value of a good education.

I for one have found eating Thai style very limited largely due to a stomach problem that rears it\'s ugly head within minutes of receiving any dose of spicy material. Not a great problem in the UK but here in Thailand where Thai cooking can blind you as you ride past the street stalls as hues of chili mist wafts across the road. I think the main issue is that having never been colonized there has been very little influence from outside the kingdom that has had any impact on the local cooking. I myself have managed to solve the cooking aspect after a fair amount of investigation and investing in various little appliances. I know have a slow cooker, a rice cooker, a little toaster oven, a kettle, and a microwave. Shopping I do at Big C, Villa Market ( usually for beef and condiment sauces ) and Tesco, though I have to say Tesco is rapidly going downhill in many areas but more due to the inability of it to maintain any kind of regular supply of anything. Add to this ASEAN just over 12 months away and the majority of Thai staff completely oblivious to the language that is shortly to become their official language it\'s not really a surprise. Anyway I digress slightly. Vegetables I do get from either Big C or Tesco. Villa Market just takes the mickey with their pricing of these and the quality is no different than that of the regular supermarkets. I now enjoy western cooking all the time including, Beef Stew, Chilli Con Carne ( not spiced off the face of the earth like Thai style would be ) good old spag bol, pork loin with peas carrots boiled potatoes and vegetable mint gravy. Pork belly slice, skinless chicken breast with peas and potatoes, tuna salad to name but a few. The budget for me to do this works out at less than 1000 baht a week. Eating a healthy meal is difficult but you have to do a little investigative work first. I usually have good old fashioned sandwiches at lunchtime, tuna and sweetcorn, cheese and tomato, salad with a low fat spread.\nI have to agree that what I see on a daily basis is the continual feeding of absolute crap and sugar laden food to kids and that goes on morning noon and night. I have seen 11 year old children with teeth that are nearly transparent they are lacking in basic nutrition which unfortunately means that whilst I applaud the Thai government for getting school milk to all the kids, this alone isn\'t combating the general lack of nutrition.\nAnyway that\'s my penny\'s worth.

The problem is the attraction to Thailand quickly runs out especially on a salary of 1000 USD a month which Megan is correct about.  It seems that a frugal person could pocket $6000 in a years time.  I doubt it that  living on $400 to $450 US a month is sustainable, most teachers will spend more than that.  This might drop down your yearly savings to say $4000 US a year.  \n       You also have to consider losses in money between jobs because the students or other teachers didn\'t like you, so your former feckless school can do nothing else other than let you go.  Some schools also will not pay in between school terms, so there is a considerable loss there.  Planning for these occurrences requires that you include transportation costs going back and forth between a centralized location and your school, especially at first.\n    You might have a medical condition which will require treatment.  Medical treatment is cheap, but your $1000 US a month isn\'t very much either, another loss in savings there.  Chronic health problems especially those that might occur frequently in a tropical country like Thailand can drain your money. \n       Another money drainer are the bimonthly visa runs that an illegal teacher will have to make during the course of a year\'s time.  Those runs cost up to $100 US a pop.  I don\'t see how legally becoming a teacher is any more cost effective in this case.  Thus another drain on your $4000 a year salary.  Are we now down to $2000 US a year yet?  \n       Some school offer free accommodation, lots of luck there.  The accommodation I was offered at one of the schools I worked at was unbelievably bad.  I was lucky to get fired because the students refused to come to my classes (according to the principle), but that\'s another difficulty with teaching here in addition to the meager pay altogether.  If you\'re paying for your own apartment being careless in overlooking things like faulty plumbing, bad or noisy airconditioning etc. can force a person to have to look for another apartment and forfeiting their deposit.  Still not down to $2000 US a year yet?\n       The problem with Thailand is that if you don\'t come with much, or don\'t have a stipend coming from somewhere else like many of the older teachers, you won\'t leave with much either.

So for younger individuals who want to gain some experience and do something “exciting” before setting down to a career, or for someone experiencing a mid-life crisis and wants to try something completely different, or for someone semi-retired and wanting to live in Thailand, teaching English in LOS might be a good choice if one is ok with the culture and ways of doing things in Thai schools.\n\nAlso for those who are looking for a fairly stress-free life and are not too worried about material possessions or career advancement, teaching English in Thailand long-term might be a viable option.\n\nOn the other hand, if someone is a professional and life-long English teacher, who wants to have a career (as opposed to a job) and support a family and so on, teaching in Thailand probably is not the best long-term path to achieving these goals, as pointed out by David.\nBecause teaching English in Thailand helps some people achieve their personal objectives doesn’t imply it is a good choice for other individuals who have very different goals and/or at different stages in life.\n\nI taught English in Thailand for awhile, it was good at the time, but I realized that it was not the right long-term plan for me, so I moved on to attack other professional opportunities.  I never regretted the choice to teach English in Thailand or the later choice to move on to other things.\n\nIt was a good choice at a particular stage of my life but it would not be a good choice for where I am now, but who knows, I might return to teaching English in Thailand at some future stage of life when the goals will again be different than they are now.  \n\nThinking in terms of teaching in Thailand in plain good or bad terms is probably a little too simplistic to be useful.',0,'113.128.201.134',1,'2013-10-12 19:35:38','2013-10-13 06:55:30'),(3586,15332,'Chris','socialhum@yahoo.com.au','Australia','Interesting comment by Dave.

He just happen to be dealing with an honest person who gave him what he is actually suppose to be getting pay. And then Thailand wonders why they cannot attract enough good, qualified native English speaking teachers. It\'s because they\'re ripping native English speaking teachers off as corrupt people take the money that is suppose to go to pay them a decent wage. Also all the examples you gave were in the private sector as when your dealing with jobs connected with the government here in Thailand it is a whole another story.

I have been teaching in Thailand for going on 10 years, and I have seen examples of everything you say on a regular basis.  I could write a book about the antics of some Thai teachers:  Teachers that appear at the beginning of a lesson, spend 5 minutes with the whole class in total silence, hands on desks, leaves the classroom, returns 5 minutes before the end of the lesson, hands on desks again, and finally takes the students to the lunch area.  Teachers that don\'t turn up to lessons at all.  Teachers that turn up for a lesson twenty minutes late and leave twenty minutes early.  As I say, I could write a book.  \n\nI must say that some foreign teachers aren\'t exactly following the rules either:  Teachers that come in late, go home early, conduct shorter lessons by as much as twenty minutes, don\'t mark books and generally talk with their office colleagues about nothing except parties, weekend getaways, holidays and looking for another job.\n\nBut, the one thing that affects the students education in Thailand, you don\'t seem to have mentioned; \"Every student will pass\".  I am completely fed up with students\' attitude towards learning, and it is all down to the education policy that allows students to achieve a minimum of 50% marks in all exams without answering a single question correctly.  Students that understand they are not going to be rocket scientists, simply don\'t bother.  I asked one of my grade 9 students one day why she never does her homework, and she told me that she doesn\'t need to do anything at school if she doesn\'t want to because she will pass all her exams anyway.  Trying to give some students the incentive to learn is almost impossible in most cases, and until the education policy is changed to allow students to fail, they  are not going to have any incentive.   I had a conversation with a university doctor during a seminar about six years ago and asked her about the \"Every student will pass\" policy.  She told me that it had not always been like that and in fact, the following year, the policy was going to be changed to allow failing students to be kept back for a repeat of the same grade.  As far as I know, that policy has indeed been introduced, but guess what?  The criteria is that the students should fail every subject!  That, of course, will never happen!  So, we are left with the same old problem that is not going to go away.\n\nJoining the ASEAN community, as you say, will be a losing face exercise, something unthinkable to Thais.  I can only see a change for the worse coming and just hope that somebody, somewhere, in the depths of the Thai government, has the common sense to speak out and instigate a few changes that will make Thailand a country that it has the potential to be, before it\'s too late.\n\nConcerned',1,'171.98.248.105',1,'2013-11-09 06:41:58','2013-11-09 14:39:20'),(3635,15496,'Master Anito','arnito_son09@yahoo.com','Sathorn, Bangkok','It goes back to the system, culture and perception of the Thai people.

It is changing, in Korea especially, but by and large that\'s just what they do in East Asia.  I think what makes Thailand the worst one is the Thai teachers -- especially older Thai teachers-- unwillingness to change or improve on the old ideas and methodologies.

The three issues I see that will effect Thailand going forward are the debt issue, restricted labour force and foreign investment benefits.\n\nAlthough government debt is at a manageable level, there is the issue of private debt which has been used to fund a housing boom for the last 10 years, this is at the institutional level where banks have offshored the debt so does not show up on the debt charts. The other issue that I think is a bigger danger is the informal lending sector which has led poorer rural households into a form of debt slavery. This has the risk of major social violence due to feelings of exploitation.\n\nCurrently the workforce here is protected from competition due to restrictive labour laws (no surprise to us teachers) but with these rules being watered down with the AEC, uneducated Thai\'s will be competing for jobs against other ASEAN members on a value basis. With many high end businesses here owned by foreign interests, why would they neglect their own interests.\n\nThis leads to the last issue of foreign investment and its benefit to the people of Thailand. So many big name companies have set up shop in Thailand to get access to the ASEAN market and cheap labour. No problem there but the issue is that many of these have been set up on massive incentive programs. With so little commitment and with the powers to be worried about losing face, where is their incentive to continue to hire Thai workers when higher skilled labour is available at cheaper rates.\n\nThis ignores the issue of corruption which is rampant in other countries in the area.\n\ncheers',0,'180.183.80.88',1,'2013-11-18 06:59:50','2013-11-18 14:49:04'),(3688,15531,'Tony Mitchell','mitch2209@gmail.com','Pathumthani','Hello Joshua,\nYes, I\'m on Twitter.

As for \'ร\', it is more of a trilled \'L\', which, also, does not occure in English, hence many times people will get lazy and not give it that flip of the tongue causing it to be hear as an \'L\'.  It gets even more complicated when you begin looking at \'ช\' which is softer than \'ch\' but sharper than \'sh\', thus, causing this phoneme to fall somewhere in between.  And the \'g\' phoneme that you referred to, or \'ก\', is actually an unasperated \'k\', which occurs in English when you say \"skip\", for example.\nNoting my last example, many of the Roman spellings for Thai words are quite sound, taking into consideration that they may need to bend a few of our preconceived notions in order to get it to come out right, or as right as they can.\n\nIf you want to further look into this, I will refer you to the first chapter of Richard Noss\'s \"Thai: Reference Grammar\" published by the US Department of State: Foreign Service Institute\n\nAvailable here:\n http://www.thai-language.com/FSI/FSI - Thai Reference Grammar.pdf\n\nThough I do warn it will make you sleepy :)',1,'202.29.193.211',1,'2013-11-20 21:31:42','2013-11-21 05:05:04'),(3699,15564,'Jonathan','jonathanbkk2011@gmail.com','Thailand','Unfortunately this is what it\'s like in an education system which is geared to passive rather than active learning. With reference to the TESOL course these are just courses to redirect you and help you with teaching English as a second language, I don\'t think any are particularly geared to teaching in Thailand even those run here are generic.\nI\'m a little surprised how badly you have taken your first encounter, without being harsh I think it\'s probably a case of little investigation into what you were heading into.\nThe key thing is not to be too disheartened, it is the same in every school, even some international schools who operate purely for profit and not necessarily for the benefit of the students. I have experienced working in the international school environment and was told not to bother with articles and only teach 9 of the 12 tenses \"because they will hardly use the other 3\".\nIn every class you will find in most cases a small hard core group of active learners, concentrate on those to keep yourself sane. In reality I have found that doing this a lot of the time, despite the laziness, some of the other students do pick up English from their never ending copying. Also in nearly every class you will have a dyslexic student and others with different emotional or mental problems, Students don\'t get filtered out and taught separately so maybe try and do a little extra for them, they may or may not appreciate it but you will feel that your making the effort.\nAs the whole system is flawed don\'t be surprised at the Thai teachers attitude they have been brought up with this system and generally their \"teaching\" is geared to the passive, write down copy and repeat and that\'s about it. \nDon\'t beat yourself up over all these little niggles it\'s the same everywhere in Thailand but rather embrace the few that want to learn and in some cases, not all, the masses will follow at various speeds.\nWhen exam time comes don\'t make it hard work for yourself. I give what I consider a fair exam and it does require them to think a little but I structure them in such a way that there are easily recognizable clues throughout the exam that they will recognize. I teach approx 800 pratom 4 5 and 6 students and in the main it goes relatively smoothly. There are hiccups and the inevitable missed lessons due to the holidays last minute practicing and other things. This term is particularly bad for these interruptions.\nAll I can say is enjoy what you do help those that want help to be helped and don\'t feel you aren\'t making a difference, it may not be noticeable but you will be making an impact on some students life sometimes and a small way sometimes in a big way.\nWhat is certain about Thailand, until they change the whole system which in all fairness will be a hell of a challenge the schools will be the same.

One of the principal imperatives for them to do so, an honest evaluation system, has been foregone. You will be reduced to the sad resort of donning a clown suit, or reneging on any sorts of academic standards in terms of rigour (so many great and essential activities will become forever out of reach), because the students will not be possessed of the  base mentality they are going to find out what to do, and then do it. You will, in short, be cooked.\n\nIf the reluctant learners never experience the benefits of engaging in lessons, and learning - if you cannot put them under compulsion to get a taste for serious study - this will never come to be. \n\nApart from, as you noted, how completely disrespectful it is to decent students to allow others to cheat, they too will give up when they see there is no point in trying hard, because there is no justice in the system.\n\nBut I just want to give the advice, most respectfully, that you should not be taking pictures of students, unless they sign a photo release form.

I reckon you cut straight to some very important issues. And I like Phil\'s response here too. \n\nThis is something I have thought about much myself. The line between games and activities is recognized in theory to be a blurred one. Papers have been written about this. Although it is easy to give examples that sit at the poles.\n\nFor my own part, games are fine as long as they conform to the principles of course design. That is, they are the right kind of task, or activity, if they are the best way to expedite the learning of the targeted skill or knowledge, in the context of the curriculum and setting.\n\nFor example, if we are setting out to give students an introduction to the meaning of key words they will require in a listening activity, many kinds of games meet that definition. Some I use myself at university include, after we do the \'match words to meaning\' bookwork in the course book, getting someone to act out the meaning of a word, or draw a picture on the board. Other students guess which word it is.\n\nOr maybe I make teams, and cover up some interesting image showing the meaning of the word with some dissolving segments on a PPT slide, which I can use to expose the image one small piece at a time. They can compete to guess which word it is for a point. A slow wipe from left to right equally does the job.\n\nBut when you renege on systematic, structured, research-driven methods of instruction; and skip the more energy intensive skills like reading, and writing, and dictionary work, and serious thinking and discussion; and skip essential but perhaps less compelling topics - when you renege on the development of higher order, critical thinking skills, or  those in the upper echelons of Bloom\'s taxonomy, and on the development of students\' abilities to produce the \'long turn\' - in favour of exclusively sing-alongs, and inane games, offered as an unstructured hotpotch of activities (the kind of things hastily swapped by inexperienced or incompetent teachers ten minutes before lessons in the staffroom in lieu of using a reputable text)...well, then we are in the inexcusably shallow end of the intellectual pool. Welcome to the world of \'edutainment\'. \n\nMany educators in developing countries lack sufficient grasp of the rationale of contemporary language teaching pedagogy, as I mentioned in another comment here recently, to be able to get students who are very unwilling and unable to engage with decent methods of education to embrace them. Their only resort is to use magic tricks, clown suits and puffs of smoke to give their classrooms some semblance of normality by having students at least look their way. This is why they are so besotted with dumb-ass games. It was a national ethos in Korea, for example, until very recently - they are wising up now - that the \'best\' way to teach was with games. Sure - if you want the students to end up brainless.\n\nThey do not know how to get the students involved in serious, or more cognitively demanding and energy intensive, but ultimately more fruitful types of learning in a way that culminates in student appreciation of genuine development of their intellects. Fat chance, 55, of getting them to admit to it, or of them appreciating someone who can, because in the same kinds of cultures you find these people educators are not inclined to be self-critical.\n\nKeep up the good work, old cheese, I look forward to reading further.',0,'219.122.61.145',1,'2013-11-27 18:27:40','2013-11-28 01:42:15'),(3731,15755,'Jack','Upthebum@phil.com','Back at home :)','You can teach the way your employer wants, or you can find a new job.',0,'58.136.16.136',1,'2013-11-27 23:37:58','2013-11-28 09:30:51'),(3732,14892,'Michelle Santos','Ailumbab@outlook.com','Manila','Hi po, thank you for sharing your article.

But in addition, should it not be noted also that but a very pale shade of what could be achieved from the investment into English language education in Thailand is manifest in student outcomes? Actually, Thailand gives a lot of importance to English language education, and plenty of opportunities are provided to learn. They have good access to information technology and native speakers in many settings, and English study is a very prominent feature of the curriculum at many levels, and in many different kinds of institutions.\n\nPerhaps it should be added here that the recipe is very simple. All that is required for anyone to acquire a sophisticated level of English language competence - and let\'s face it, who wants to speak English like a taxi driver or Justin Bieber, it is the academic English proficiency that provides access to the world of educated people\'s ideas, or the best sort of knowledge and jobs, that we must go for - is a programme of activities, or a set of mental and physical tasks for learners to perform, that provide them with the skills and information we know lie on the road towards this goal. Activities, that is, designed by those who already arrived there to make the process as fast and easy (and it is intrinsically interesting) as possible. \nEducation theory in the information age has already mapped out, with a high degree of specificity, the cognitive dimensions of this equation. (Hence the emergence in recent times of global TESOL standards, IELTS descriptors are another good example.) And, it has provided us with a multitude of task types and materials that suit the job.\n\nWhen decent materials have been provided to students, or when this essential platform of effective pedagogy has been put in place, all that is required is for students to perform these tasks, with the guidance of an accomplished teacher to help them out - someone who can explain what it is they are learning, and what they need to draw upon to do so, and why it is important. And, who can help them arrive at the necessary \'eureka moments\', or make the pertinent leaps of intuition. If they go through the motions - and real education is not social conditioning these days, it is giving students the nous to construct and utilize knowledge according to the scientific method, or in the case of English language learning giving them the language tools and thinking skills necessary for them to think for themselves using this brand of language \'software\' - then Bob\'s your uncle.\n\nThe catalysts for students to perform the learning tasks are classroom rules aimed at ensuring they exhibit effective learning behaviours, or engage with the activities in the appropriate manner. We cannot help them out if they lack the basic disposition they are going to find out what to do, and then do it, and make sure they finish it successfully. Some students need a kick up the bum to get them started until they realize why all the truly creative people in this world value a decent education. An honest evaluation system is the other vital ingredient, there has to be a penalty in place for not acquiring a decent standard of the skills and knowledge that were taught. There has to be a reward too, for those who try the hardest, in the form of a recognition measure (a graded diploma or degree), as well as in the form of access to privileged status in society.\n\nWhich highlights the problem in not just Thailand, but in many places, doesn\'t it? They have access to good materials. But the learners lack even the most elementary thinking and study skills necessary to engage with their education. (Ever tried to get a Thai to think something through systematically?) And a lot of \'educators\' they are exposed to, not having ever made the grade themselves - not having been the recipients of a high level of modern education - make very poor ushers through the door. Then, the students are not put under any compulsion to exhibit effective learning behaviours, no decent rules are applied. Because the teachers are too lazy, or because then the students would have reason to complain about how hopeless they are. No decent evaluation systems are in place either - with hopeless teachers, students do not pass, and hopeless teachers and hopeless schools want to avoid being shown up. It leads to social problems for teachers as well if they fail the student whose family has power in the community, Thai society is rotten and corrupt. So \'escalator systems\' are employed. Cheating is rife as well. \n\nNo decent evaluation system, of course, means no decent reward for dedicated learners. There is certainly no reward to be found within society, if you are smart in Thailand you better learn to keep it to yourself. The other chickens are going to peck you straight away. You are just shooting yourself in the foot.\n\nHence, there is neither compulsion nor incentive to be an academic achiever, or to perform the essential learning tasks. Hence, a lot of Thais are dedicated to task avoidance, rather than task performance. Hence, English language education is virtually a failure.\n\nThe irony is, people then turn around and say \'Western\' - really scientifically informed and enlightened - methods of education are a failure. When the only element of a good education that was in place was the materials, all the other pedagogical ingredients - namely the \'Principles of Academic Integrity\', Don McCabe provides a pearler set on the net - are lacking. \n\nMy point is, so much more could be accomplished.

To Guy, you don\'t have a clue what your talking about. There are huge amounts of children here that require SEN help but they don\'t get it for many reasons. The fact that you may not have encountered any, which is why you made your false comment, does not mean that they do not exist. \nYes, there\'s a growing awareness about children with learning difficulties but as a whole it still a massive problem here in Thailand. To put it simply for you, Thai\'s like things to be perfect. Anything less than perfect is embarrassing to them and causes a loss of face or shame on the family. This is one of the reasons parents find it extremely difficult to get education (of any sort) for the child. Therefore I, in the most part completely disagree with you that \'it\'s a schools obligation to teach parents about SEN\'. Yes, this is true when both parties are coming from a neutral, understanding position and want to provide the appropriate education for their child, but in the main it is for the schools to listen and understand parents and particularly the child and provide tuition matched to their needs. I know of hundreds of Thai families who have children with learning difficulties. The usual scenario is that their child goes to school (they are unaware of issues at this stage), once the child develops any issues the school excludes them. Then the parent goes from one school to another and is equally refused at the other schools. The main reasons this happens are due to the \'perfect\' issue, other parents do not want their child to study with a child who is \'flawed\' and who could provide a negative influence upon their child and also there are not teachers trained to teach children with SEN. Basically, a regular teacher doesn\'t understand or want to deal with a child of this nature. I can understand this to a point as there are many testing realities involved with caring for a child with SEN.\n\nThere are actually some schools and hospitals that provide specialist care here but you only really know about them when you are in this position. Most people in this situation learn through networking with other parents rather than through officialdom. Another point to consider is that there is not free schooling here. No money = no education. This is not the UK. I found it slightly grating when you talked about your SENCO colleagues \'wealth of job opportunities...with very good pay too\'. Although everyone has to make a living I would question their reasons to be doing this here in Thailand. Why are they not working in there home countries? Perhaps they might spare a thought for the thousands of parents countrywide who don\'t have the money to send there children to school or have no SEN provision where they live. Out of Bangkok their is almost nothing across the whole country. Perhaps they would consider volunteering if children\'s SEN provision is their pure motivation. I say this because the view of many parents I know is that because schooling is not free, really they are just businesses and primarily interested in your money. This is why there is apathy amongst employees, as well as the Thai culture of not \'rocking the boat\'. This equally applies to standard schools and is why there is such a growth of \'international\' schools. Further, although the UK is better and more advanced in terms of SEN it is in no way perfect. Although schooling in the UK is free, SEN provision is not automatic and there are many parents with no provision and/or tied up in legal wranglings to do with achieving a statement of need.\nYour point about assessing a Thai boy in English is valid. Children with SEN are very confused as it is without trying to communicate in English and although there are signs as you mention that can be recognized I firmly believe that the child should be assessed by a specialist doctor in their native Thai language. This is also necessary as some children cannot speak all.',1,'27.130.133.176',1,'2013-12-13 23:55:22','2013-12-15 00:13:24'),(3763,15614,'Julia','Jmknight17@gmail.com','BKK','Hi Kevin, thank you for your considered response. I read your comments with much care  and I think we are both on the same page with a lot of our views. SEN is a sensitive subject and I can only reference my time in the UK and my limited experience here. I can say to you that SEN children require teachers to adapt to their worlds and not them to ours, if they could, then they wouldn\'t require the support.\n\nMy experience here is that bigger international schools who have (money) large teams dedicated to the child are offering better salaries to attract the high calibre of teacher. There is nothing wrong with that- the UK has moved to PRP (performance related pay) recently. And yes, parents have to pay. I don\'t know about gov schools or rural schools so as said my experience only extends to BKK.\n\nI had a cohort of 365 in my previous role as HOY in the UK, only three met the threshold for statement of needs which carried teaching assistant funding and only one was full time. We had roughly 25 kids with EBD which were not covered by statements and the school screened every child for dyslexia and found just over a quarter displayed signs and we put in place small measures such as overlays and different colour text books.\n\nI have taught child with autism and one of my proudest moments was watching a girl I taught who was also in my tutor broil collect her gcse results,she did fantastically well. But her mum and I worked together and her mum battled the school on lots of things so I know it is a struggle for parents especially those who aren\'t as articulate.\n\nMy discussion only opens up some of the issues  and I thank you for illuminating me further, you have given me lots to think about.\n\nMany thanks, JK',1,'180.180.55.3',1,'2013-12-14 18:58:17','2013-12-15 03:26:54'),(3764,15614,'kevin','k-werk@live.co.uk','Bangkok','Julia, thank you for your reply. I agree with you that SEN children require specialist teachers. The challenges they have in many cases are so profound that they need focused specialist care to help them improve. Bizarrely, I think it\'s the UK government\'s position to have mixed education and move away from specialist provision. Regarding SEN care in the UK I can only see the situation worsening as austerity and cutbacks continue and more children will suffer.\nI apologise if I what I said came across as \'teacher bashing\' as this was not my intention. There are many frustrations that build up in a parent of a SEN child that you can not begin to imagine unless you have one. My point really is to realize that working at international level, teachers are playing a \'small part\' in SEN care in Thailand. This environment is somewhat closeted as you are only encountering people with money. The dynamics completely change when you don\'t have any. I think within the west we have had it for so long that we completely take for granted our free education and healthcare, Thai\'s do not have this. Thus being in an international school environment where parents all have money does not give you the real picture about the realities for the \'average Thai\' here in Thailand. I could tell you some stories that would shock you to the bone.\nI think the situation is slowly improving with more specialist schools but mainly in Bangkok. The provision in the rural areas is practically non existent.

My wifes daughter who is 17 also lives with us. I am in Pattaya. I earn tiny bit more the salary level mentioned here, 40-45K B a month , and I make another 10-20K baht on the side each month doing other stuff. I own my house outright, so no rent to pay. I find it really hard to make ends meet each month to be honest. I have a car payment each month, bills and house upkeep chips into the money big time. I just about make it cash wise to the months end, and if an extra bill comes, e.g. car insurance annual bill, etc, then I really struggle on months when extra bills appear. I need at least 60K (maybe more) a month just to get by. \nLuckily, I get a reasonable discount for my son to attend school where I work, however it is still very expensive, and will become a problem when the new baby reaches school age,\n\nThe bottom line, as far as I can see, regarding my own situation, is that 2015 may see me having to relocate my whole family to a country where I can make and save money as a teacher, most likely this will be Saudi Arabia, where salaries are better, one can save money, and one can get free places in schools as part of the deal, not to mention health insurance, and benefits with the job package, stuff which we never get working in Thai schools. I am not a certified teacher from my home country, but I do have a PGCEi, (Uni of Nottingham) and got 1 year more part-time work to finish a Masters in Education with them. My point being, without teacher certification, getting the 100K B a month jobs in international schools, would be a slim chance. \n\nI do not want to leave Thailand, as I love the life style, but money wise, it is becoming unworkable for me. I cannot save any money, and never mind pension planning either...and I am in my early 40s.\n\nI have read on ajarn..com and other forums several threads from guys who were teaching in Thailand, had a wife and kids, were earning up tp 70K a month, could not make ends meets, and all spoke of how they had to relocate. At least two or three I read about, went to the Middle East, one to Saudi, and says he saved 1 million baht within a year. All seemed to have a plan to spend 5-10 years there, work hard, save every penny, and then return to Thailand. \n\nAnother point to consider is the quality of the education for our children, and what we can afford on a teachers salary? Thai universities, not being valued in the western world, may mean our children could not avail of jobs in the west, if they had a Thai uni degree etc etc. Lots to consider here too!\n\nBe interesting to hear from other people in similar situations as the OP here.\n\nThanks\nG',1,'180.180.5.105',1,'2014-01-04 05:29:47','2014-01-04 12:39:05'),(3778,19945,'John Brown','Jb01011969@hotmail.com','bangkok','This is a wind-up, right?

I heard all the stories of people falling in love with Thailand, after several years get fed up with everything and think everything will be so much brighter back home, though find out pretty soon after that the reason they left there to start with.

Theoretically it would be possible to live on that level of income but the appeal would wear off extremely quickly when you are skint all the time. Bangkok or Thailand in general is great if you\'ve got the money to do things but miserable if you haven\'t. Bangkok is so big that even if you\'re living in one area you will have quite a bit of expenditure getting around with a family of five - even cheaply. Your kids completely rely on you, don\'t forget this.\nMy suggestion to you if you\'re serious about teaching is to get professionally qualified in your own country so that you could work at a \'proper\' international school on a good salary and benefits that would enable you to pursue the dream you have set for yourself. You are still young, and can do this. Today the world is extremely competitive and will be become even more so in the future. Therefore try and be as good as you can in your chosen area. Complete a PGCE ( or the Aus. equivalent), get a CELTA, plus degree of course if you don\'t have one already. A lot of work, but this could benefit you your whole life. Additionally, you need to be earning a lot if your are here long term teaching, as I understand it become hard/impossible to work when your are a lot older, unlike the west, as appearance counts for a lot here. You want to aim to work in one of the top schools in Bangkok so you get the best salary to make your families life secure. It\'s understandable wanting to live a \'simple life\' but believe me your opinions change as you get older and you don\'t want to rough it all the time and constantly think \'I can\'t do this\' because you can\'t afford it.\nIf you didn\'t do this and came here and earned 30k a month, you would be broke all the time. I would say that in the last five years or so it has become twice as expensive as it used to be, mostly due to foreign currency depreciation but also rapid inflation. Things, particularly food, are going up all the time, however, your wages are not. People often quote teacher wages as being the same as ten years ago and at the base level they will only get worse (as seems to be happening already). Therefore if your wages are not increasing with inflation every year you are going backwards are worse off. I\'m sure you can see this is not a long term solution.\nThere are many things you have to pay for with a family and they all add up very quickly. It probably wouldn\'t be as cheap as you think it may be. Bringing up a child in Thailand is not cheap. There is no free education, healthcare and social security like the west. What would you do if one of your children became sick and you had no money? No money = no treatment here. A sobering thought. Now you can see why international school wages are required. There\'s lots of extra things to pay for here that we get free in the west, that\'s why the whole western system will probably collapse.\nYou could possibly go to a more rural area where the cost of living is much cheaper, but this option again would not really be long term again for the reasons I have outlined.\nIf you managed to come here, rent initially don\'t buy. You can test the waters this way, and the area as you mention!, without tying up all your capital. Deposits here are reasonably high at the moment or you could invest some in a small business to give you extra income. If you decide to stay permanently, then buy as this will be cheaper long term, but understand that property is extremely difficult to sell here as Thai\'s generally go for new builds that are constantly springing up.\nI disagree with a few of the points made by other posters. There\'s often comments I read where it\'s stated that Thai\'s live well on a fraction of teacher wages. There is a slight misunderstanding here because Thai\'s mostly live communally (which we don\'t generally) with the whole family/grandparents, so if one person earns 8000B and there\'s five earners living together you have 40000B combined income which is reasonable. Quite often they still all live in a small studio so they have money to pay for things. Rent a house in central Bangkok and you wouldn\'t be left with much. Outer Bangkok where it is cheaper,is really like being in the country as you are so far away from the city. If you were a single person with 8000B income you would not have a good standard of living. You would only be living in a tiny rented 16-20 sqm apartment with just about enough money to buy street food and take a songtheaw to work and nothing else -hardly comfortable. The one\'s who are comfortable are middle class professionals and upper class Thai\'s. They are earning the kind of salaries that I think many in the west would be surprised by. \nThis leads me to my second point where another poster mentioned Thai school and university education and the outcomes from attending these institutions. I can appreciate each individuals point of view and acknowledge the quality of an international education but I believe there is a bit too much emphasis on an individual being a failure if they go through the Thai system. I think a lot of this comes from Thai\'s difficulty in learning and speaking English. However, this does not mean they are stupid as some people seem to think. English is not there native language remember. Are we stupid because we can\'t speak French very well? \nI believe Thai\'s in general to be very creative and entrepreneurial and I know many who have established and built successful businesses and others with very good jobs sometimes paying more than what they would get in the west. All have been through the Thai not international system and it certainly hasn\'t held them back. \nGood luck and I hope you are successful in whatever you decide to do.',1,'171.7.20.88',1,'2014-01-11 01:55:53','2014-01-11 12:06:03'),(3800,20670,'Jonathan','jonathanbkk2011@gmail.com','Thailand','I think what you have misrepresented here is the assumption that most schools offer 11 or 12 month contracts.

Now, the school has expressed a desire to keep the foreign teachers, however it would be so unfortunate if we were to lose our jobs as a result of some beef the school has with an agent. In addition, is it possible for an agency to almost impose a \"restriction of trade\" (in a manner of speaking) which does not allow us to work with the school for 2 years after our contracts are complete, especially given the fact that we would no longer have a contract in place between ourselves and the agent, nor the school and the agent, after 28 February 2014??\n\nThis just seems abit unusual to me, however I am not sure if this is common accepted practice here or not.

For safety reasons, not more than six cars may drive into an intersection and pass it, after the red traffic light has been switched on.\n\n2. STOP-signs may only be neglected with the hazard lights on. This will warn other road users, and explain the urgency of the mission of the vehicle crossing.\n\n3. Mobile phones may only be used while driving, if the car is equipped with tinted windscreens. This will save you from receiving a warning.\n\n3. Turn signals should be switched on in either direction at all times. This is to make the following driver guess, if you will proceed straight, or if you may make a turn. This situation will hopefully strengthen the alertness of the driver behind.\n\n4. The use of rear mirrors is only permitted, to check and redo your lipstick, or to squeeze out pimples. This measurement will force drivers to slow down, when detecting cars parked on the roadside, which might eventually enter the road. It also forces a driver during an overtaking manoeuvre, using the right or left lane, to check the functionality of  the horn and brakes, if the car to be overtaken makes a move to the side, where you started your manoeuvre.\n\n5. High beams and fog lights should be switched on at all times, as the driver approaching from the opposite direction will be blinded, and must slow down or even stop. This measurement will help drivers coming from opposite directions, to pass each other at slow speeds.\n\n6. Remaining tire pressure gages at gas stations are to be removed. This will ensure, that the tires of vehicles will always be filled up to a the maximum pressure the air compressor can produce, which is about 80 psi. With those tires it is hardly impossible to exceed the legal speed limit of 90Km/h, as the tire(s) might blow up and can cause severe damage to vehicle and driver.\n\n7. Minibuses are to be stripped of all safety belts or make them unusable. This eases the removal from corpses out of a wreck.\n\n8. Imported cars, as Mercedes, Audi and such, have a \"built in\" right of way, because there is a great chance, that a member of the police is on his way, to enforce these important rules.',1,'49.49.170.252',1,'2014-02-19 09:09:15','2014-02-20 00:35:51'),(3871,21734,'Benito Vacio','banaida_0808@yahoo.com','Nonthaburi','Sam, what an encouraging comment from you.

Relatively speaking, considering the low wages that are paid in Bangkok, this was very expensive.\nAlso, the exhibition was very poor.

Having never been to the petting park I can\'t comment on the quality but having been to Cadburys World, it is a great place to visit and to take children so you are paying for quality - which you cannot guarantee in Bangkok. I have been to at least two petting parks in London that are free and I wouldn\'t pay the prices you had to pay. Also, when I went we got discount because there were some vouchers in the local paper - otherwise we wouldn\'t have visited as it is, as you say, too expensive.\nThe transport museum does sound expensive and that could well be the reason I have never been as I would be interested to go, but not at that price.

I don\'t want to come across as someone who thinks Bangkok isn\'t good for children as I do think it\'s great but I also think London is good for kids as well and the pros and cons of both probably balance each other out.',1,'171.6.205.142',1,'2014-03-10 21:20:58','2014-03-11 05:10:40'),(3913,22296,'Julia','jmknight17@gmail.com','BKK','ahh yes the cooking pots and blocked pavements!

(course) It works like this white native speaking teachers trump non native speakers. Women, especially young white attractive women with blond hair and blue eyes trump everyone, from what I have seen damn if they have the experience or not. Younger people are taking jobs away from a lot of older committed teachers in the guise of looking good and having fun. There is a lot of ageism in Thailand and in my experience anyone over 50 is having a hard time getting a job. \nThey talk about fellow chalkies but this is not the case. There is you and the guy who is going to take your job away from you – your competitor. Be careful who you help. This happens often, and in the end people helping friends out come to regret it – getting hem jobs and the like. \nThe problem in Thailand is that continue down their path, almost like they want the whole system to fail. There is very little reading and writing, way too much grammar, most of it marked in multiple choice, which the kids rarely understand or use. And so English just becomes one big haze for most of them of  a million rules and very little sense. Try and explain to them why it is “I have a pen” “He has a pen” Does he have a pen?” (have and has) and you can understand why they get so mind boggled by all the rules and instead of getting reading and writing in the system – yes I know many have many kids – my first year I had over 1000 kids I taught every week – try and mark their writing skills – they concentrate on copious amounts of grammar. Then the only teachers who seem to survive are those having fun, and those who really could not give a damn. If you buck the system you are thrown out. Thai kids are not taught to think and too often I hear that it is too difficult. That is their favourite gripe and there seems to be an enormous swing towards games this year. \nThen you have the marking system. In the old days they could not fail. Now that does seem to be good enough, and the parents demand 80% and above and if the school does not produce it then the parents take them out of the school because little Pui is not progressing. Whose fault is that? The parents or the school? I could give 90% if they wanted So without even testing them and in the end they are guaranteed a high mark with very little effort. With all of that taken away from you, not much reading and writing, a multiple choice system, a no fail system, and high mark guarantee that naughty little sod who gave you trouble and never listened to a word the whole year walks out with a solid 80%, and there is not much you can do about it. \nSometimes the best strategy is just to take it in your stride, do not care too much, do you best, play lots of games walk out the classroom and forget about it, because it seems that is what they want.

What could have been a very serious and long lasting (unintentional) infraction on my part was taken to a supervisor and rules were broken to solve a problem in my favor.\n\nSecondly, the writer has some very clear mis-understandings about how Thais view themselves and their reaction to obstacles. As much power and sway the ageing elite think they have in Thailand to cling on to traditional ways, it is in fact, a country that is fueled by youth, both culturally and commercially.\n\nThe writer is involved with the education system and so the impact of it\'s structure leaves an impression. But to most Thai people, they don\'t give the way farang teachers are treated, a second thought. Why should they?\n\nInstead of blaming the government and the \'social elite\' for the faults of an admittedly appalling education system, the Thais that actually want to excel in this arena, do it on their own.\n\nThey don\'t \'blame\' anyone or anything. Instead, they take control and create their own success.\n\nI understand the frustration of the composer of this article, but lashing out at all and sundry for some frankly minor inconveniences seems to me to be a bit of an over-reaction.',1,'125.27.162.138',1,'2014-03-22 06:18:56','2014-03-22 13:30:51'),(3938,22386,'Will','williamputnamjr@gmail.com','Bangkok','Mark,\n\nLooking back over it now, I can see that it does seem like an annoying rant. I didn\'t mean for it to come out that way. I had been thinking of writing about Thailand\'s unaccountable elite for a while and I just happened to think that the immigration story was a way to introduce the topic. It wasn\'t meant to be a \"lashing out\" as you describe, though it I can see how it may appear that way.\n\nYou are right that everything I talked about could apply elsewhere; I don\'t disagree with this, but I do think the scale of privilege and corruption is larger here. There was a young man who purposely drove his Mercedes into a bus stop and killed a woman. His father called the people at the bus stop \"uneducated buffalo,\" and the driver was not only set free but also allowed to keep his driver\'s license. The same driver purposely hit a bus later. Apparently, he suffers from fits of anger.\n\nI also agree that the Thai people\'s pragmatism and lack of clear laws are often beneficial for foreigners. I think I mention in my post that these things made the process easier for me. However, I still don\'t think it\'s a good system to have.

Jack, please keep in mind that Thai people, in general, are VERY conservative in that they are easily embarrassed and afraid of losing face, etc. and do not wish to make anyone feel \'mai sabaii\' because of something they do or are.\n\nIn the West, tolerance is equated with liberal and intolerance with conservative.  I think the situation here, like many things, is completely reversed from that point of view.  You are looking at Thailand with the viewpoint of a Westerner: being openly gay/lesbian in public and having \'rights\' to be married = tolerance.  I think it\'s safe to say many places where people are open about their sexual orientation the society around them becomes even more intolerant, if anything, because people make a huge issue out of it whereas here it\'s just not an issue to begin with.  So what?  You\'re gay/lesbian why make a fuss about it and show to the world you are different? \n\nHere it\'s just a fact of life that is tolerated and no need to blow it up and make it some huge social movement.  Everyone is already OK with the reality of differences and it\'s just not an issue like so many, many other things that gets Westerners all tied up in knots.  We all know how deep the \'mai pen rai\' attitude goes here and how \'sanook\' and \'sabaii\' are the mantra we live by.  Who would want it any other way??? \n\nBack to the school examples we\'re all familiar with: in my school it\'s very common for teachers to point out the fat kids and call them  \"Hey Oowan!\" with a smile, or my students telling me (as young as Anuban 3!) that their classmate is a lady boy or a tom without an air of bullying or teasing at all.  They just point it out as a matter of fact and move on; to me, that is the epitome of the word \'tolerance\'.  In Western societies the \"other\" is ridiculed, scorned, and in many cases outright attacked for the very fact of just being different.  \n\nAnd, to me, that makes Thailand a special, wonderful, and almost magical place to live; I am willing to bet it may be the very reason many of you ajarns and khrus, like myself, tolerate things here that would otherwise drive you crazy and make you leave on the next plane out of here.

Thai cops are not out to make as many arrests as they can (I had an unspoken quota back in farangland, e.g. I was not doing my job if I wasn\'t bringing people back to the P.D. in cuffs) and are truly peace officers in the way they handle the various duties they are called to respond to.  \n\nThai cops are just as easy-going, passive, and gentle as the population they police (generalizing here, again, there are always exceptions in life).  Thais give the respect the officers they deserve and things go smoothly 99.9% of the time. Most situations we encounter on calls end with everyone smiling, going on about their business and nobody going to jail, no kids getting hauled off to CPS, etc. and life goes on as it should.  Sabaii sabaii and mai pen rai rule the day (and law many times) as many well know here.\n\nDoes money change hands at times?  Sure!  Does that make it ethically or morally incorrect?  Not here.  What is corrupt about a system where everyone agrees things are working as they should be?  Only the Westerner and his/her foreign perspective sees the money issue as \"corruption\".  I assure you, that same issue exists in every law enforcement agency in the world - UK/US/AU/EU right down to little ole Surin Thailand.  Sam\'s comment about the iceberg is spot on true - you don\'t want to know how deep and ugly it gets back in the West with agencies like the N*A, C*A, F*I, M*5, etc. trying to spy and watch your every move and breath you breathe.\n\nAnd, as Rob mentioned, better to help the local cop have a good meal with his family (which he WILL remember the next time he sees you) than have the politicians and so-called \"leaders\" fill their already fat wallets from proceeds of the prison-industrial complex where every cop is after you for any little thing they can arrest or fine you for so they can lock you up and give the private prisons more slave labor.  \n\nI\'ll take a Thai cop knocking at my door or pulling me over any day over one in the Western world, thank you very much!!',0,'79.141.173.62',1,'2014-03-22 13:06:31','2014-03-23 02:00:00'),(3942,22266,'Jack','scratching@balls.com','On the road (again)','M.ed\n\nIf Thais were so open why would admitting to being gay cause one to lose face?\n\nActually I do not think we have any major disagreement.\n\nWe both wrote that Thai attitudes towards sexual orientation are different from those found in the West and are also quite conservative.\n\nThe only point of contention is you placed a value judgment on these differences in attitude which I did not, and warned of accepting at face value.\n\nI am not gay myself, but I would warn those who are from thinking having an alternative sexual orientation does not matter in Thailand.\n\nFrom my observations, it is quite ok for professionals in Thailand to be obviously gay without being openly gay.\n\nAlso from observations it appears it is a good idea for foreigners to follow this same example.\n\nI suspect the concept of Karma helps explains Thai beliefs that being gay is not generally considered as a personal choice, but a natural part of a person’s character, but this is not the place to engage in a philosophical discussion. Nevertheless, the reluctance to accept openly gay leaders indicates Thais generally feel being gay is an inferior state of being and therefore one rarely sees an openly gay person in Thailand reach the top professional levels in society.\n\nTherefore, if an English teacher would like to have his contract renewed, it would be probably a good idea to avoid being seen giving a big hug and wet kiss to one’s same gender boy/girlfriend at the front gate in sight of the school administers and parents even if it appears no one cares what you do behind closed doors.  \n\nAccepting superficial and non-nuanced impressions for “reality” can get us into trouble from time to time.',0,'113.128.201.134',1,'2014-03-22 23:53:31','2014-03-23 12:40:37'),(3943,22386,'Donna Chang','cambergal@yahoo.com','California','Will, these are accurate observations offered in a measures, sincere spirit-- the opposite of a rant.\nYou have no reason to apologize.

An exceptionally bright and hard-working American or Briton, no matter how poor, will find recognition and upward movement possible. How many bright Thais have been forced to forget about college because they can\'t afford the entry fees? An initial payment is even necessary to get a remedial job in Thailand. If you have no money, you\'re not going anywhere. Period. \n\nThose at the bottom of the social strata, no matter how driven and intelligent, have little means for upward movement within any of the country\'s institutions (education, business, government, etc.). My personal opinion is that the bureaucracy, which is deeply rooted and considerable, does not want to see poor Thais come up in the world. Up so far as having electricity and paved roads through the village is fine, but as far as entering into a respectable profession or even a position of power, no way. \n\nI don\'t agree with everything Mr William wrote, but his assertion that \"The middle class Thais are afraid of the great unwashed masses below and too deferential towards the oligarchs above\" is spot on.

I know that you acknowledge in your article that after two weeks, you can\'t really call yourself an expert on Burma, but still, hey, after two weeks, you REALLY can\'t call yourself an expert on Burma.\n\nI lived in Yangon for nearly three years and I can honestly say that many of the things which you claim to be fiction are actually (or in the recent past) were entirely true.  The electricity does go out every day.  Or nearly every day.  You may not have noticed it because it usually goes out during the day when you\'re likely to be at work.  And your work likely has a generator (oh! just reread your article and your work *does* have a generator-- you do know that using generators at home in Myanmar is prohibitively expensive for most teacher-types in Yangon, right?).  Or your apartment has a generator, but if your apartment has a generator, you\'d likely be paying a LOT more than $200/mo, which actually leads me to another thing... \n\nYou pay $200/mo for your apartment?  Really?  Are you exaggerating the cheapness of it?  Are you slumming it?  Are you living with three other people?  Is your school subsidizing your rent?  Are you ethnically Burmese but born and raised in the West?  Or did the housing market suddenly and drastically change in Yangon?  When I left a few months ago, the cheapest digs available for a Westerner, even with the help of a Burmese friend, was $400/mo and those places were extremely grotty and slummy.  \n\nRegarding food, everyone has their tastes and preferences, and to each their own, but I found Myanmar food really unpalatable.  Mohinga, Shan noodles, and tea leaf salad are good, sure, but everything else was just too oily and fermenty-fishy.  Not too mention extremely likely to give you food poisoning.  Report back to us about how much you love the local food after your first bout with amoebic dysentery.\n\nRegarding cost of living... maybe it\'s possible that this has recently changed, too, or it could also be possible that you, personally, have not yet been affected by the cost of living as you\'re still in the honeymoon stage with the country, but I felt Burma (specifically Yangon) was ridiculously expensive.  My favourite snack, which would cost about $1 in Bangkok, Seoul, or North America cost $3 in Yangon.  Actually, it used to cost $1 in Yangon, but overnight, CityMart increased the price threefold.  I also have pictures of magazines which were six months out of date, which Popular (on the ground level of Marketplace on Dhama Zedi Road) was selling for $15.  Also, a small-ish tub of Haagen Daas sells for roughly $17.  Those are just three examples off the top of my head, but there are many, many more and imo, those prices are astronomically expensive.  One more thing to be aware of is that the exchange rate between the MMK and USD varies often and widely.  One day, you might get 1000 kyats for your dollar and the next day, it could be down to as low as 600 kyats to the dollar (600 was the lowest I saw it, but it held at that rate for quite awhile and took almost two years to creep back up to 900ish kyats to the dollar).  When the exchange rate sucks, EVERYTHING gets more expensive because local prices do not change.  Actually, local prices do change, but only ever in the upward direction.  Which means that while your spending power is reduced because of a poor exchange rate, things actually are getting more expensive because prices are going up on top of that.  So that\'s another thing to consider/beware/lookforward to regarding cost of living.\n\nBut it sounds like you\'re happy in Yangon, so I hope that it continues to go well for you.  I was neither lucky nor happy in Yangon and that did colour my perception of the place.  Actually, I was so unhappy in Yangon, and the cost of living was so high for me, that not only was I hardly able to afford to live there, I couldn\'t afford to leave there, either.  I was veritably stuck, and it took months and months of planning and quite a lot of luck to get out for good.  I\'ll be the first to say that, as far as foreign teachers go, I was the exception, not the norm, but if it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone, so for anyone reading Joko\'s post and feeling all warm and positive and go-get-em about moving to Yangon, just be aware that if or when things get tough in Burma, things get EXTREMELY tough and, while it\'s possible that in the three-ish months that I\'ve been gone things have drastically change, I think Burma is at a point in its opening up and democratization that things will get worse for quite awhile before they get any better.',0,'171.96.240.209',1,'2014-04-04 23:54:41','2014-04-05 10:25:29'),(3969,22391,'Marguerite','marie.eaton@gmail.com','Burmanity','Oh, and in addition to my very long comment, wrt internet speed, just wait until July when the extremely patriotic sea creature cuts the underwater cable leaving all of Burma with excruciatingly slow, nearly unusable internet for nearly a month.

This is something that I used to offer when I last sold corporate training about five or six years ago now.

I think they fear the arrival of a more interactive educational system, because most of the Thai English teachers don\'t understand it and have never had any experience with it.

If you haven\'t already done so, it is possible to get a [tourist] visa extension without leaving. I believe the maximum extension, at least for a US citizen, is still 30 days per single-entry visa for 1900 baht for a total maximum 90 days without having to make a \"border run.\"\n\nIf your school/company is sponsoring a work permit, they should be able to get whatever type of visa you have changed to a Non-Immigrant B visa and extend it without leaving, but this takes time. If you\'re on a tourist visa and have already previously extended it, you do need to leave the country. \n\nIf you do leave, and again this is at least true for US citizens as of a few months ago, Laos is the closest land-border crossing country that lets you get a double entry tourist visa; last I checked, Cambodia only grants single entry. Honestly, if you\'re worried about it, look around online and call some of the companies that specialize in helping foreigners with visa issues. You don\'t have to buy anything, after all :)\n\nAnd as @Peter said, the immigration office in Bangkok is still located at Imperial World Ladprao.

They want worksheets and games, and to have fun but when you ask them to write anything down, they will look at you dumbfounded. “What, you want me to write that..??” And of course then maybe the teacher has to neatly label it and print out their names. I am convinced the Thai education system is where it is today because they do not write things down. Consider that in some parts of Africa all they have is a teacher, a book (maybe and a pencil), a blackboard and a piece ofchalk and with so few resources they come out and can speak, read and write English. They may not even have a classroom. They may do it under a tree. The teacher will come out and start writing on the board and the kids will write it down. No questions, just follow the teacher. So they have 2 skills right there – reading and writing. Then the teacher will ask them what it means and go through the class. They may play a game, and may even draw a picture for added emphasis and so by the end they have the 4 skills. In Thailand, they have computers, DVD’s, notebooks, I-pads, dictionaries which they hardly ever use, books which explain the stuff, worksheets, pictures etc ….. and in the end most come out with so little. So you have to ask yourself how it is that the Thai education system does so badly on the back of often so many resources. The reason must be their refusal to write things down, and the over emphasis on fun (IMHO) and in the end the entire system mostly fails them, or they fail it.',0,'125.24.240.145',1,'2014-05-14 21:26:16','2014-05-15 09:39:22'),(4017,22858,'Benito Vacio','banaida_0808@yahoo.com','Nonthaburi','Well said, Marvin. That\'s why, as a teacher in this country, we have to be extra innovative, creative, and resourceful to make our students learn more. I know culture is hard to break, but a I have seen in my past schools, especially in the  grade schools,  that these young students have come to like Englih. So I can foresee that in the future, they will be the better set of generation to speak English especially in our project that has been trying hard to implement. I am still optimistic that someday Thai studentsrad will come to embrace the language because of the ASEAN, because of the trend, and because millions of baht had been spent by towns and cities to improve their English program. No problem with the private school because they have international programs and special programs where students really excel. One time, I was able to watch a TV program that gave out 30,000 baht for in a challenge, 5 students of that school spelled all the words asked by the host.

They have work books which are by the way not great at all. We have been told that they need to last the whole year. How you get these books the whole year is beyond me. The problem is this, that they choose the cheapest books – work books the like and there is very little writing. How long can you make “hello my name is John” I wonder. When we try to make them write things often Thai teachers thing we are being lazy. I taught Mattayom 3 before and they did not even know what a full stop was used for. I was told that Thai students did “not like them”. “Oh really!” I thought.  Because of the over reliance on grammar, the lack of writing and multiple choice for marking means the students do not try, do not make mistakes and do not learn. I have seen many damaged like this who think English is a set of rules. When you tell them this is the case, they will not believe you because they have come to believe it is the case. While we can complain about Thai education., I see many foreigners as lazy as the day they were born. They do as little as possible, do not care of the kids progress or not, and only care about their pay check. Few are progressive and committed to teaching. \r\nIf they wrote more, were encouraged to make mistakes and then corrected and were lenient in the correcting they would be more likely to try and have a go at it. The irony is that after years of learning English grammar many will not even try it because they feel it is too complicated. I meet woman in their 30’s who say the same thing to me. Then you have the problem of looking good. We have been told that all work that goes home is to look “nice”. So when I get my kids to write, if it does not look nice, then the parents will complain. “Really”, I think to myself, you can complain about the work your kid does even when that is the best they can do. This is why Thai education does not improve. We have even been instructed how to do ticks in the books and they need to be made beautiful. One place where I teach on the weekends, the owner there took her son out of the bilingual school and put him into International school because besides his books being perfect, he was not progressing. Some Thai teachers in our school have to rewrite the student’s work so that the parents will not complain about it. At its heart, while I can complain about the school, are the parents who want to see “perfection” and high marks regardless of the kid’s real progress. This is why Thai education does not improve. Until they learn to make mistakes, embrace it and celebrate it, Thai education will be on the same dismal path it has been for years. \r\n\r\n',0,'125.25.88.111',1,'2014-05-19 03:03:39','2014-05-19 03:11:26'),(4020,22858,'Benito Vacio','banaida_0808@yahoo.com','Nonthaburi','\r\nYes, Marvin.  I agree with the things you said. Unless students overcome the fear of making mistakes, their confidence will not improve.  That\'s why, we provide activities that encourage mistakes.   Let me cite 2 instances. In one private school where many rich students studied, I saw in their bulletin board, uncorrected written paragraphs of students from various levels. In another private school in Sukhumvit, I saw similar activity - no corrections. It goes to show that self expression is more important than paying attention to mistakes. The more you think of \"not making mistakes\" the more you slow down your thinking process and if this becomes a habit,  one becomes inhited indeed.

I might spend 5000 in a day, but 4,000 of that on fun and frolics. If you spend 7,500 baht for a room 150 pounds, $225 ouch, then the food is going to be of a similar price and who wants to stay in the hotel room when you can eat and explore outside. I guess in Khao Yai outside eating options were limited. (For myself I always research like a devil before I go anywhere)\r\n\r\nI don\'t like Hua Hin much but when I stayed there I got a room on a pier for 300 baht a night and had a better view than the Hilton across the bay. I went to the end of the pier and sat drinking beers and eating food I\'d bought outside. The water below me, the sun setting in the distance, 600 baht all in. http://www.thebeachfrontclub.com/beach-hotel/asia/thailand/hua-hin/hua-hin-beach-north/bird-guest-house/?ref=featured \r\n\r\nIn Bangkok I know a hotel on the river, 1400 baht a night. At night you can eat with a view of the river and the bill is never more than a thousand for 2 people drinks/food. \r\n\r\nIn Chiang Mai ditto. 2000 a night would get you a luxury resort with a pool in the mountains. Leaving you 5,500 baht to spend on tours, massages, fun and frolics, good luck spending that amount. \r\n\r\nUnless you have 20,000 baht to spend a day, spending 7,500 on a hotel is just crazy. \r\n\r\nAnyway I think you have learned your lesson, good luck for the next birthday. \r\n\r\nIn Pattaya you could actually have stayed at the 5 star Hilton at the centre of the beach and gone to its Horizon bar for rooftop drinks 200 baht a pop but well, well worth it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b31DXMMnEgw You could then have eaten great international or Thai food anywhere in the city for next to nothing and spent days on boat trips to the islands, diving.

She would give large pay rises (and promotions to EP from IEP) to the \'hansum\' ones. Some deserved it, but many didn\'t. We had one guy come to visit his sister working out here.

He had just finished high school and not done well. She offered him a job. He took it! And after about two weeks he left after almost exactly the same scenario you\'re talking about.

As the OP said, \"School activities, if organized well, can be an excellent platform for students to develop (various) skills\".  Maybe these activities are well organized and useful in more high-end places like Varee, and I would guess many of the supporters of activities work in quite hi-so places.  However, in most normal schools, they are about as well run as anything else, i.e. very badly.  \r\n\r\nIn my (actually quite high ranking) government school, any large scale activity which means that classes are postponed or cancelled will inevitably result in 80%+ of the students milling around, doing very little, for extended periods (no, they wouldn\'t be doing the same amount in normal classes, thank you very much!).\r\n\r\nThe idea that students can learn skills from these activities is good, but why can\'t they learn these skills in classes?  Is the class environment so boring that lessons cannot be designed to promote such abilities?\r\n\r\nAnd no, these activities shouldn\'t be replacing subjects as they always do.  Think back to your school years- did you have anything comparable to these activities, cutting the time for learning, at least on a regular basis?  I suspect not.  They would have been mostly extra-curricular.  \r\n\r\nI can count on (just about) one hand the days I remember from my youth which weren\'t relatively normal and routine.  Does this extra focus mean that I learnt more about the subjects?  Hand on heart, not necessarily, but at least I had the opportunity to do so, because they were actually provided, not shortened or dropped.\r\n\r\nActually, I was seriously considering sending my kid to Varee.  After reading this, it seems to be no better than the school I work at, which is considerably cheaper.  \r\n\r\nFinally (whew), is memorizing facts and figures really a \"burden\"?  I know that, unfortunately, the future is probably going to be full of people who can find out things (possibly), but know very little themselves (the death of intellectualism as being a quality to aspire to?), but why shouldn\'t your students be offered training in both facilities?

This applies to some positions in some schools, the international schools for example are mostly loaded with brats spawned from rich families who tie in to my next point. \n\nBefore I make it however, if you want to get into education, lets start with Buddhism and the fact kids here are taught monsters and demons as fact, and taught that the Lord Buddha could walk when he was born. \n\nSo tread easy when you talk about kids receiving a \'real education\' when this education involves them being indoctrinated into mythology, legend and superstition (Taught as fact)\n\nMoving on to my third point, when you talk about what education is, I have worked in a school here, where I would be complained about for giving too much homework (50 word assignments for grade 4 [yes that\'s 50, not 150, FIFTY]) and when I didn\'t set any homework that wouldn\'t have been worth marking I was complained about because the kids didn\'t get any.\n\nMost kids are sent to school to attend, in the end receiving a certificate calling them international graduates, a huge percentage of which don\'t give a crap about learning, and even those who do want to learn are drown out by the riff raff. \n\nOf these kids who manage to retain something go home to families that neither nurture nor tolerate the practice and promotion of English in the home, and thus the only practice comes at school or online mediums (Gaming/ chat, YouTube)\n\nWe should as teachers make effort for the benefit of the kids learning, but Thai schools generally take a half baked wannabe Spartan approach to the \'we do not appreciate the farang way of doing things\' and reject us trying to educate kids on certain matters. On top of this we must notice the factors that put two rocks onto the kids load, for every one we take off.\n\n(If anyone doesn\'t understand that, I mean they make it harder for kids to learn as we try to make it easier.)\n\nI find something sinister about your remarks regarding \'open mindedness\' and accepting new ideas, followed by it is \'demanded\' of you. There are a lot of things here that are demanded of me that I do not conform to, because they violate the very mutual respect that they beg of the outsider. But that\'s a tale for another time.\n\nThere\'s a lot I could say but I think your post should state the obvious here.\n\nThailand is a nice place to live if you want cheap and relaxed, but teaching employment here revolves around the business of monetary exchange with only the name of the school and a few books, and a few lost and out of place \'real\' teachers as a sorry excuse for \'education\'.\n',1,'14.207.32.190',1,'2014-11-25 09:32:37','2014-11-25 11:26:50'),(4250,24095,'Julia','jmknight17@gmail.com','BKK','The nearest BTS is On Nut or Eckamai.

I tend not to frequent the local Thai shops primarily due to the usual inclusion of sugar in ALL drinks (to this day, I still forget to ask for no sugar), and the tendency for the coffee to be a bit bitter/burnt to my taste (explaining the sugar rationale).\r\n\r\nIn the States, I\'m not ashamed to say that I regularly went to McCafe in lieu of Starbucks just because, to me, it tastes exactly the same for far less. But in Thailand, McCafe costs almost the same as Starbucks... so I may as well go feel \"hiso\" at Starbucks if I\'m going to spend an arm and a leg on a coffee.\r\n\r\nUp here north of Mo Chit, I must agree that the overall selection of good coffee shops isn\'t too great. IMHO, for price versus quality in a coffee chain, Black Canyon is pretty decent. While I still think it\'s overpriced for a relatively bitter coffee, it\'s far less than Starbucks and tastes better. \r\n\r\nIf I\'m going to pay for a \"real\" coffee from a chain, though, it\'s Segafredo for me.  Provided you can get a decent barista (such as those at Tops Market, Central Ladprao), you can get a real Italian espresso for less than a fake Starbucks.\r\n\r\nJust my two cents.

Unfortunately,  Asia is not a beacon of morality or excellence as it appear to be.

I have been teaching privately for almost 3 years now. It has been steady and reliable. The comment about making it a business is essential if you do it full time. Getting students to start with is always the hardest.  \n\nThere are many benefits to teaching freelance. For me the biggest is having more free time and also earning more money. There are some things I consider very important to making this successful. You need to have a base to work from I think travelling to see people takes up too much time and there is also the travel cost. \n\nI also  think teaching from an apartment would not work and you need a house. Your house should be clean and welcoming with a dedicated  area for teaching. My house has 2 dedicated teaching areas as I am so busy now I have a friend come round and teach on weekends also this is a great way to make extra money. \n\nOne factor not really mentioned is to have web presence. I have a face book business page and a 1 page website this is great for existing customers to recommend you to their friends. I don\'t know the type of customer Mark has been teaching but everyone of my customers pays for a 30 hour course upfront and are much happier knowing it is a course where you will not stop teaching them after a few lessons. \n\nMany of my customers I have been teaching for more than 2 years and repeat business is essential. I allow 2 cancellations per 30 hour course more than that and they will be charged again I have never lost a customer or ever had a complaint over this policy. \n\nI charge 600 bht for private 500 bht per person for 2 and 400 bht per person for 3 or 4 people per hour.

On line teaching is life changing as there are so many advantages doing it\r\n\r\n1) At home with your family (not away in another area teaching and something goes wrong at home and you can\'t do anything about until you get home on the week end)\r\n2) NOT having to put up with morning and afternoon traffic dodging chickens, old people on bikes and people driving up the wrong side of the road motorcycles/vehicles. \r\n3) Not having to put up with the outside weather conditions especially the rainy season. That season is the worst to drive around in.  Winter for me is the second worst season to drive in especially if your on a motorcycle.\r\n4) Forget about lesson plans, mid and final term tests, huge amounts of down time lost (student activity days) and putting up with the daily b.s. that happens with-in the education system.\r\n5) Actually enjoy teaching; on line teaching is extremely fun to do and I actually really enjoy teaching now. ( I became quite frustrated with the current /long standing education system)\r\n\r\nLiving in the north I have been able to achieve my initial goal of obtaining a standard monthly Thai income. As you are probably aware the north\'s wages are fairly low 20000, 25000, 27/28000 to 30-35 0000 (only some schools). 25000 a month seems to be the standard wage.  This goal has been achieved via one on line teaching web site so if you live in the north and on the average wage it is very feasible. \r\n\r\nMy second goal is to achieve around 30-40000 a month but utilizing two on line teaching websites. This I feel is achievable as I am currently on line teaching part time and do have a number of extra hours that I can utilize during the week. \r\n\r\nThe way I see it is I am gaining overseas income (Japanese yen for now) and perhaps US dollars at a later date. I am NOT making any Thai baht at all. Therefore I am not officially being paid by a Thai school/language school/company. If I do make more money than the Thai tax free threshold this is usually cancelled out being married to a Thai. I am utilizing my time wisely at home and with my family.  I am just on the internet enjoying my pass time/interest.\r\n\r\nRecently Paypal has put a 21 day holding policy on any funds received as a payment. This can be a huge blow to a lot of people. I got my monthly income recently with a hold of 21 days initially. I called Paypal and really explained what the account was mainly used for Premier (tutoring/on line purchases). i told them that I am NOT in business and I am NOT a seller. They released my funds quickly. I was also told by Paypal to inform them by e mail when a payment is received before a click on accept payment then the funds will be released quickly.\r\n\r\nI am now looking forward to achieving my second goal as mentioned earlier. \r\n\r\nOn line teaching does change your life.\r\n\r\nKen\r\n',0,'171.98.0.222',1,'2015-01-17 01:26:10','2015-01-17 02:30:59'),(4316,24186,'Jim','emailmonaghans@gmail.com','Chonburi','I agree with urban man, you really need to go outside and talk with people.

I would imagine that the amount of black American women traipsing around the world alone is exceptionally small. \r\n\r\nHowever, you haven\'t made the best use of your time. You\'ve traveled a few well worn paths that most tourists go down and kidded yourself that you\'ve found a culture there. You haven\'t... not yet.\r\n\r\nSo, from your experience in Thailand so far, you haven\'t been able to let Thailand wash over you and change your world view. It\'s evident in your writing. You are at home with other expats in a sterile expat Jazz bar in a tourist resort. Why not go to Cancun for that? It\'s a damn site cheaper.\r\n\r\nYou are resentful and unforgiving of the way other foreigners spend their pensions and time.  It doesn\'t matter why you are, the fact is that you are.  Worse still, you are resentful of the way women choose to earn a living. Again, the reasons aren\'t important - that fact remains that you would rather they were all back home working on farms and looking at expensive phones in glossy magazines.\r\n\r\nIt may interest you to learn that Thai girls don\'t go to Pattaya to become bar girls. They were already prostitutes in their home towns who simply want to make better money.\r\n\r\nYou should one day work up the courage to buy one of them a drink and engage with them.  They have fascinating stories.\r\n\r\nIf it is your plan to remain in Thailand for any length of time then leave Pattaya and find out about the country where you are living. You\'ll come through that experience a much better, more patient and more tolerant person.\r\n\r\nGood luck, and please keep writing here - I love the feed back comments!\r\n\r\n',1,'110.78.164.135',1,'2015-01-20 03:14:29','2015-01-20 03:27:44'),(4335,24218,'Bart','maas_bart@hotmail.com','The Netherlands','Fair comments on the standard things to do in city\'s.

You must have advance reservations.   And about the, \"reservation.\"  The reservation time is the ferry boat departure time from Manhattan - get off the ferry at the island where the statue is, and hello 1 hour queue (including security frisk and much in the way of barking instructions) before entering the statue.   Pay extra money to store your items in a locker, as they allow you to take nothing but a camera into the statue (not even water).   Then climb almost 400 steps (30 minutes) each way - with views of nothing the but the arse of the person in front of you 90% of the time along the way (if with your woman, make her go first, unless of course she\'s gassy).  At the top you get maybe 2 minutes to look out the crown (the line has to keep moving) through unclean windows.  \r\n\r\nPlus to make it even better, the ventilation is mediocre (its an old statue, there is only so much they can do).  I was there on a partly cloudy spring day, so the temp wasn\'t too bad, but in summer the statue is apparently sauna-like.

The floods (4 years ago) had more impact on me than the coup. In fact, if I hadn\'t read about the coup in the similarly excitable foreign press I probably wouldn\'t even have known about it. \r\n\r\nThe vibrant heartbeat of Bangkok is still there, at least in the places I go to. Nothing has changed - the roadside bars are still open all night, the girls still squander their health for iPhones, the polluted food still smears the sidewalks.\r\n\r\nThe beaches are in fact safer than they ever have been in the past. The vendors and scammers are being reigned in... finally.\r\n\r\nNo-one who I have met and spoken to over the past year has had any reason to mention the coup, as absolutely nothing in their lives has been affected by it.\r\n\r\nWithout wishing to appear rude, I have to say that this contribution smacks of melodramatic scaremongering and comes across to me as almost pure fiction.\r\n\r\nThe road blocks are nothing new and haven\'t suddenly sprung up since the coup. Even the existing stops don\'t affect farangs - we are always ushered through any road stops with a cheery wave. Entertainment venues aimed at tourists have been impacted minimally as a consequence of the coup policy... except things like beach clean ups, etc, which have actually benefited tourists.\r\n\r\nAs for Thais... the only people affected by the coup were those interested in politics. Absolutely nothing has changed for anyone else. The floods have had a far longer lasting impact on Thais than anything that the coup did or didn\'t achieve.\r\n\r\nWhere are these anxiety ridden expats and their gloomy Facebook forums? I haven\'t seen them. Even the normally hysterical posters on ThaiVisa.com have been sedate this time around, regarding the impact of the latest \'troubles.\'\r\n\r\nThe visa rules and tightening of existing laws as they apply to teachers aren\'t the result of the coup. They are administered by various branches of government who have already had these policies in place for years. As anyone who has been here a while will tell you, these \'showboating\' rule changes /enforcements either quickly disappear or attract workarounds, and have minimal impact on anyone working here withing the rules.\r\n\r\nIf you are still deciding whether or not to move to Thailand then just ignore this article and get on a plane. Thailand is still one of the safest countries in the world to live in. If you are a tourist - well... you are always going to be a target regardless of who controls the seats of power... and that applies to any tourist resort in the world.\r\n',1,'110.78.164.135',1,'2015-01-22 03:50:24','2015-01-22 03:57:28'),(4342,24218,'Mark Newman','teachermarkthailand@gmail.com','Thailand','It\'s a bit unfortunate that some travelers feel compelled to write disparaging articles about paths well worn by tourists.  For most people, the travels to exotic places DO include the places that made them famous in the first place.\r\n\r\nIf you didn\'t feel it was worth waiting in line for the Louvre, then fine. You\'ve missed out on something special. But like you say - there was a long line, so why bother! If your first trip to Paris doesn\'t include the Eiffel Tower, then there\'s something wrong with you.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s more unfortunate, is the belief that some of these writers have, that they alone have discovered some pristine beach or village market or \'natives only\' restaurant that no other foreigner has been to before.\r\n\r\n\'Off the beaten track\' means just that. It doesn\'t mean absolutely exclusive to the brave one who has foregone the highlights of the city and hopped on a bus to anywhere hoping for the best!\r\n\r\nNot that there is anything wrong with hopping on a bus and hoping for the best. I\'ve done that myself in faraway places such as Nicaragua and it\'s been fantastic. \r\n\r\nI think that if you are a regular traveler, it\'s important to get the famous places out of the way first. On my very first trip to Texas back in the mid 80s, the very first thing I did was make a beeline for Southfork Ranch... Actually, it was a bit of a let down, but I felt that I had to see it. After that I spent more time hunting down the eclectic scene on lower Greenville Avenue. Not as famous as Southfork for a tourist but still lots to do and see. \r\n\r\nBut travelling is different things for different folks. I think age has something to do with it, too. I was dangerously more adventurous in my 20s. It\'s amazing how I\'m still alive. But now in my 50s I\'m more at home sitting on a bamboo chair in Raffles, sipping a Singapore Sling (extremely expensive, by the way!) than I would be sat on a hotel roof in Guatamala mistaking the sound of an earthquake for a big lorry! (Very scary!)\r\n\r\nThe references to Eastern Europe made me smile. Yugoslavia (on the right of Italy!) was a beautiful country to hitch hike around back in the late 70s. Since the fall of the wall and the USSR, that whole region of Europe has been sacrificed to tourist cash and subsequently lost a lot of it\'s original appeal.\r\n\r\nBut whatever your reasons for travelling and however you spend your time and money in any one place, the days of being truly \'adventurous\' are all but over.  \'Globalization\' has made the world smaller and more accessible to everyone... and just a bit duller... but maybe that\'s just me!',1,'110.78.164.135',1,'2015-01-22 07:08:53','2015-01-22 08:37:02'),(4343,24218,'Bangkok Phil','philip@ajarn.com','Samut Prakarn','\"If your first trip to Paris doesn\'t include the Eiffel Tower, then there\'s something wrong with you\"\r\n\r\nDo you mean see it or actually go up it?

If they are inconvenient, I will do them only if I think there  is a danger of becoming dangerously unpopular with the management if I don\'t. \r\n\r\nSomeone said that they looked down on people who only do the office hours.  Did it occur to you that they might have other commitments, e.g. their own kids?

What a saint.\r\n\r\nIn fact, it seems at least a few of these contributors suffer from wannabe-martyr syndrome.  I\'ve seen it many times; teachers who work far too hard for the salary (or  the respect) that they get, mostly because they get off on giving the appearance of being holier than thou, in respect of the other teachers.  Ironically, they get really nothing more in terms of reward than the laziest teachers in the staff room, and don\'t  they complain about that!\r\n\r\nI don\'t normally speak well of senior Thai teachers, but it\'s quite likely that, if you search for  them at these events, they are either absent or not actively doing very much; that\'s because they know how much of a waste of time these things are.

Lets look at the cultural problems associated.\r\n\r\n1) Students in Thailand are taught not to question but to copy everything that is said to them ( i know we have all heard this before). Having a student break this trend takes many hours of work and trust of the teacher before students will open up. \r\n\r\n2) As a deep understanding of process and narrative are not high points on a school pedagogies (I mean everything is often changed at the last minute so what is seen is not neccesarily what is really going on .) it is hard to build a deep understanding of how the subject being taught is relevant to the students needs or can be widened to give a holistic understanding of the content.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately for myself I must start a topic or subject with a large amount of teacher talk time to set a scene for the students to visualise and hopefully take an interest in that content . School should never be fun but it should be interesting.\r\n\r\nThe final report card score is more valued than the knowledge being taught and how that knowledge can be used by the student. This is where students involvement should come in. 10 years in Thailand has taught me that students have very little prior knowledge of a subject as they are taught that the test score is the most important thing. \r\n\r\nIf curriculum design is analysed it is no secret that each year students at different levels are taught basically the same thing but at a deeper level of understanding in higher grades. The students must rely on the previous knowledge taught in previous years to build a holistic approach to learning.\r\n\r\nAs much as this article is relevant and helpfull it is also extremely simplistic.

A 30 day entry arrival is free when visiting Thailand but certain countries are still exempt from this ruling. Please note... This entry stamp does not enable you to change or be able to obtain a visa in the Kingdom of Thailand. \r\n\r\n2. Tourist Visas for Thailand are not free, they have to be obtained from a Royal Thai Consulate outside of Thailand. The tourist visa is available for a maximum of 3 entries. Each entry is valid for 60 days and then you are required to leave the country (usually goung to Cambodia) and re-enter using another entry stamp.  The cost of the Tourist visa varies in different countries but averages on around £25  GBP per entry. Link for UK Visa information http://www.thaiembassyuk.org.uk/?q=node/49\r\n\r\n3. Changing the tourist visa to a Non-B visa is not a simple process. This can only be done in Bangkok-Chang Wattana Immigration. There is a fee for changing the tourist visa to a Non-B, the fee is 2000 thai baht. The process of changing the visa is not a simple one and requires a number of original documents from the school (letters of acceptance etc.) This process can take hours not 20 minutes!\r\n\r\nFinally,  I would like to give you my thoughts of living and working in China and Thailand. \r\n\r\nThailand is a beautiful country and is geared up for accommodating westerners, this is mainly because, for nearly  100 years, Thailand has had a lot of western influence, especially from the U.S.A.\r\nChina has only recently opened its doors to the west and, although developing at a vast rate, is still fairly novice in terms of western cultures. \r\n\r\nThailand used to be a relatively cheap place to to live. Food and drink prices are increasing and salaries have remained stagnant for over 15 years. So in terms of wanting to earn and save money as a teacher in Thailand-Forget it! \r\n\r\nIn China, the cost of living is far lower than in Europe or the USA. The salaries in China are fairly modest and it is possible to earn and save a decent amount of money every month and still live a comfortable lifestyle. \r\n\r\nI can only give my input on living in the south of China as I haven\'t ventured to the northern provinces yet. But I can safely say that I am more at home here in China than I was in Thailand. \r\n\r\nIn a nut shell... Thailand has a honeymoon period, where everything is magical and sometimes surreal. But after living there for a while, your eyes start to see the other side and the rose-tinted glasses you once wore will start to fade. \r\n\r\nHappy ventures to all those embarking on a career in South East Asia, I wish you luck.\r\n\r\nCheers!\r\n',1,'223.205.250.237',1,'2015-02-17 05:27:15','2015-02-17 07:48:48'),(4413,8388,'John','johninbkk@gmail.com','Bangkok','Having worked as a DOS and a lead teacher I would say older teachers are more reliable on the whole. \r\nIn a school situation they don\'t feel the  need to become students friends-games, games....

Combustion engines and better farm implements were major drivers of this change - suddenly, there was no need for a platoon of men to run an average farm.  Also, better medicines and improved sanitation meant infant mortality decreased significantly.  The combined  impact was a lot of idle bodies who needed to move on to make a living.\r\n\r\nThe state of mind of the emigres to the cities generally fell into one of two camps.  The first camp hated the change.  They focused on and disliked all the ways that city life was different than farm life.  The second camp embraced city life, enjoying the expanded social choices, and the fact that they had more employment choices as well (not just farm work).\r\n\r\nI see definite parallels between the Chilean emigre mindsets, and what you have observed of your fellow expats.',1,'192.254.1.7',1,'2015-02-25 17:32:36','2015-02-26 00:47:23'),(4426,24490,'Matt','anarchistangker@hotmail.com','Dubbo','Curious about the cat call.

Too many employers have seen the \'stars\' who look good on a CV but who then crash and burn when asked to perform. Education in Thailand (at every level) is part of the entertainment industry.\r\n\r\nBut not all schools and businesses will have thought of asking a prospective employee to perform a demo lesson. So why not offer to do one when you apply for the job? This will go a long way to letting the employer know that you are a serious candidate for the job.\r\n\r\nAsking you to do a demo lesson suggests that the school has a pool of talent from which they can choose from, so be prepared to \'demo\' like it\'s a kind of pageant. Straighten that tie, wear a smile and shed a tear for world peace!\r\n\r\nOh, it\'s not unheard of for employers to ask unwanted applicants to do a demo lesson as a way of politely turning them down! Sure beats the common sense approach of saying \"I\'m sorry, the vacancy has been filled.\"\r\n\r\nOne important aspect of the demo lesson is that it\'s NOT all about you. Involve your audience in your presentation. If you make them a part of your class they will probably warm up to you a lot more.\r\n\r\nLastly... If you are preparing to do a demo lesson, don\'t get caught up in the academic content of your performance.

Firstly I can only feel sorry for the awful situation the writer found himself in. For those who palm this off as nothing or feel this person did something wrong, let me be clear: Until it is your home and you experience the complete lack of care, misuse of your hard earned money, stress, lies and misery some contractors can cause, then you have no real understanding or can have any true empathy for the victim. \r\nThere are some good genuine contractors in Thailand but sadly a minority. The cases of taking money and running happen. Lies, deceit and misinformation do happen. Incredibly slow progress and breeches of legal contracts common. Terrible workmanship and hiding of mistakes happen. But when it is your home and your money, it is hard to even imagine what this does to your state of mind, those around you and your life. It is without question horrible, unfair and grossly unprofessional. But sadly some do not care, have no moral compass, no principles or any true professionalism at all. In fact I would go as far as to say, some even find it funny and do it deliberately. They can be totally non responsive, tell lies after lies and do everything to upset you and the successful completion of an opportunity you have been kind enough to give them. They are eating because of you, they are working because of you and they throw it back in your face with disregard, lack of any form of care and in instances with a degree of spiteful behaviour.\r\nI am so glad the situation resolved itself and you won in the end.

I buy bottles of gout medicine and each tablet is 2 baht a piece. Fantastic!\n\nOne rule I have found (having lived in Bangkok, and now more rural climes) is that the emphasis on the \'up-sell\' is proportional to your proximity to Bangkok (and a couple of other big cities.)\n\nA few years ago, I had some visitors from Australia who had a young child. It had fallen sick with a common childhood ailment, whooping cough. This is easily treatable with antibiotics, but the very first thing the scared parents were offered when they walked through the door at the plush \'Hotel Hospital\' in Bangkok was a tracheotomy!\n\nIf the big swanky hospitals have the services and the equipment then why not use them, eh?\n\nThere\'s also a cultural difference that westerners face when they have kids outside their own comfortable domains.

Off you go home.\n\nExpats may easily view this lack of emotional involvement as a lack of professional attention.\n\nBeing pregnant isn\'t the same as being sick. You don\'t need all the bloated attention from healthcare professionals unless there is a danger to you or the unborn infant.

They are also used by schools outside Thailand to \'poach\' teachers.

These ideas should also help you even if the interviewers are themselves native speakers.\n\nAs this list is a long one and the subject matter is unending I\'ll just highlight some points of importance and you can follow up these by Googling for more information.\n\n1 - Breathing! Take deep breaths and calm yourself before the interview starts.\n\n2 - Before the interview, practice enunciating your answers. Read answers to questions into your phone or computer and play them back. How do they sound to you? Cut down on the \'umm\'s and \'er\'s!\n\n3 - Slow down the tempo and turn up the volume of your answers and say the words clearly. You don\'t have to sound condescending to pull this off and you may want to practice this before the interview.\n\n4 - Think about your answers before you say them out loud. The interviewer won\'t mind waiting a few seconds, especially if the pay off is worth it to him or her.\n\n5 - Learn to listen!  One hurdle of this (or any) type of interview is that you are giving answers to questions that nobody has asked. Listen to and understand the question and return a pithy and considered response.\n\n6 - Open your mouth when you speak! This is unbelievably crucial and will go a long way to helping you to be better understood.\n\n7 - Inflection, inflection, inflection! Monotonous speech is boring and difficult to understand, especially on the phone or in a video interview.\n\n8 - Finally, don\'t try to be funny. Your light-hearted banter won\'t translate well over the internet and you\'ll look unprofessional. Interviewers will be able to gauge your personality well enough,  without you having to resort to jokes and off-topic anecdotes.\n\nGood luck.\n\nLike I say, this is a subject that can be explored forever and I\'ve covered just some brief points.

Thanks for the reply. I do appreciate it. \r\n\r\nAs you said, different strokes for different folks. \r\n\r\nI think that building some rapport with the students goes a long way. The answers to the questions that my students have asked me seem to come up every now and again and are not all forgotten. Does this mean that every student takes an interest in my life? Not by a long shot. But some of them do. And I take an interest in all their lives as well. It helps me plan lessons accordingly.\r\n\r\nMy style of teaching is more informal. I don\'t mind if my students call me \"teacher\" or \"John\", it\'s \"up to you/gor dai!\", just as long as they\'re learning. And I always refer to them by nickname. Classroom management and maintaining control and a certain level of respect comes from character. So I don\'t demand of my students that they call me \"ajarn\" or \"teacher\" or any other title, so long as they play by the rules. Keep in mind I only teach adults. I\'m sure if I was in the school system my approach would change. \r\n\r\nTwo of my current classes also set up Line App groups for the class. So if I see a misspelled sign somewhere during my travels I\'ll snap a photo and ask them to correct it. Other times they\'ll ask me for advice with English when we\'re not in class. Sometimes they\'ll post English idioms they\'ve found online, that way everyone can try and break them down. Line is also a way to deliver slides from my English presentations so they have them to refer to at a later date (saves on paper and time). But even then they know their boundaries. They know I won\'t answer on weekends or at night. \r\n\r\nAs far as the gossip, it\'ll always be there. But I usually make a joke of it in the introductory class of all my courses. One of my rules is \"No Gossiping about the teacher\". I\'ll pause for a second and then say, \"In Thai! If you gossip about the teacher it must be in English!\" and they get a kick out of it. \r\n\r\nLastly, most of my contracts have been renewed since I\'ve started teaching last year. The company I started working for last year under a contract has hired me as their English consultant indefinitely. \r\n\r\nI still consider myself a new teacher. That\'s probably why I don\'t want to be called ajarn or anything like that, too. I feel it should be earned. There\'s also a lot I still need to learn and improve on. But my style of informal teaching won\'t change. I\'ve had great feedback, students ask to join my class from other classes at the same company, human resources hears the employees laughing and having fun (very important for Thais), and more importantly (in my eyes) they\'re learning. \r\n\r\nWould all this change if I had to teach a room full of executives? Probably. I\'d still keep it fun but step it up a notch to something more formal and less personal. But overall I\'d still use my introduction presentation that I always use, with pictures of my daughter, wife, myself. It\'s an unfortunate reality but having kids in Thailand-as a foreigner-moves you up a few ranks in society. You\'re no longer the stereotypical sex-tourist teacher. So that\'s what the pictures say without words, that I\'m here because I love teaching English in Thailand and do it to support my family, not my vices. If I didn\'t have to do this, trust me, I wouldn\'t. \r\n\r\nIn the end though it comes down to personal preference. \r\n\r\nThanks again. Good dialogue.

In all honesty, I\'ve found many, if not most, of these teaching programs are generally aiming teachers in the same direction, no matter the level. I did the initial TEFL too, and remember thinking similar things about it as you said: it\'s not about you, it\'s about what the students get out of the lesson. \r\n\r\nThat said, as you well know from working in SE Asia, unfortunately many of the methods emphasized in CELTA and similar courses don\'t always pan out, primarily due to language deficiencies and cultural differences. I\'m finding the same thing about my current M.Ed; many of the practices emphasized (differentiated instruction being one of the current hot topics) can\'t really be utilized in [non-international] schools here to the degree that they can in Western countries for various reasons, chiefly the resistance of both other teachers and students to change.\r\n\r\nFunny enough, I actually got my class taken away from me by a Thai coteacher the other day because I was having the students do what the CELTA would term a \"controlled practice\" because she thought I was just being a lazy teacher; at my school, anyway, the role of a teacher is to yell at students for an hour straight without them having any engagement whatsoever, so I guess I just didn\'t fit the correct role.\r\n\r\nI\'m with you; I\'m all for trying to be the best teacher I can, but I often feel that these teaching credentials programs overlook reality in lieu of some glorified \"in a perfect world\" construct.

I think no matter how much we tend try to be reflective and humble practitioners we run the danger of ossification and becoming less flexible in our approaches.   I\'m also glad to hear that they were holding you to a standard of teaching, rather of entertaining (which is so common here in SEA).  \r\n\r\nHaving said all that, it\'s debatable how \"useful\" a CELTA is for many schools here.  I think it is what it is, and for teaching motivated adults in general it\'s solid.  However, it doesn\'t immediately lend itself to the happy-go-lucky ESL field that tends to dominate in this region of the world.

Even to copy their favorite pet or age?\"  After my second day, I kept my happy face on and continuously walked around the class room, and when I saw five heads all huddled over one student, I knew that the one student in the middle had finished and the others were \"copying\".  I would walk over to them with a smile, and slowly pull away at the finished worksheet, or journal entry from the student and would then be glared at by the other students.

Some people do strike lucky getting good agents or schools who know the process of getting you a Work permit which is a requirement to work legally in Thailand.  In order to get that you need a Teachers License or a waiver on a teachers license which you can renew for a second year. You do need a Bachelors Degree, TELF, TESOL or CELTA certificate and if you are a NON NATIVE SPEAKER, in the Kingdom of Thailand South Africans are not recognized NES teachers and therefore have to do a TOEIC test exceeding a score of 600.  Don\'t if is a relatively straight forward and yet to have met someone who has not exceeded that score from South Africa and the Philipines.  Like I said in my personal case it was a nightmare.  My agent who said would take responsibility in getting my work permit and he did manage to get it for me did not apply for the waiver on my Teachers Licence so  I go the work permit from the Labor Office and then went to the immigration office to get the one year extension visa but was denied because we did not have the letter from Bangkok exempting us from having the licence.  I had to do four border runs in one year because of the lack of knowledge.  Yes I have learnt my lesson and will do more research and contemplating teaching English in China.  I have heard mixed stories from different people.  Look Thailand is a very beautiful, warm and friendly place plus the cost of living is good excluding alcohol and going out lol, the cost of living has increased dramatically but I think that is global.

I will say my time in Thailand has been up and down but sadly did not end on a good note.

That being said, there is a pool of talented dedicated teaching professionals in Thailand, so what future lays on the horizon for teachers of all ilk?\n\nWill Thailand attract pedagogically knowledgeable professional teachers over the next few years, perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel.  Highly educated, experienced and professional Filipino educators are available and coming in droves to lift Thailand out its quagmire of Anglophone linguistic incompetency, and thank God they are doing so because Thailand needs a pool of talented qualified pedagogically trained teachers standing in its classrooms, not the rabble that currently dominates too much of the field.  So as Filipinos move in to become a significant part, possibly the dominant force, of the teaching community in Thailand, how will Thailand respond over the next few years with regards to fair and reasonable compensation packages for those with serious teaching qualifications coming from their ASEAN community neighborhood?\n\nIt seems abundantly clear that Thailand\'s leaders and the business community are extremely motivated to integrate the country into the ASEAN community, mainly as a result of perceived economic benefits that Thailand will achieve as industrial leaders within the region. The question thus seems obvious, why are Thai government officials, business leaders, and the citizenry so unwilling to compensate foreign teachers, especially Filipinos, for the professional work they are doing to ensure that Thailand itself can succeed economically with the ASEAN framework?  \n\nAnd will this unfair and unreasonable attitude of indentured servitude change over the next five years?  I think not.  Thais remained committed to one thing and one thing only, Thailand.  Foreigners are to be used for the benefit of the development of Thailand and Thai people, not for the gain and development of the external \"others\".  Foreign teachers in Thailand need to face reality and understand that expectations of change, in my opinion, are simply unrealistic.  For the foreseeable future it seems we will still see salaries sitting at an average of 22,000 baht per month for arriving Filipino teachers and 30,000 baht per month for \"falongs\" when working for Thai government schools and teacher placement agencies. But here is the kicker folks, there is a ton of money available in the Thai education fund to compensate foreign teachers fairly but it is being skimmed off the top by Thais at every level and at every opportunity; a symptom of Thailand is for Thais.  \n\nOne significant cold sore contributing to low teacher salaries in Thailand is the rise of the teacher placement agencies (TPAs).  Will this change in the next five years, not in my opinion.  In fact, the next five years seems set to see a continued rise in the TPAs as the dominant recruitment force in landscape of Thailand teaching.  Forget the reasons, it is what it is.  The important issue here is, this is one of the fundamental factors as to why teacher salaries will remain low in Thailand for years to come.  The Thais have yet again seen where money can be made at the expense of the foreign \"others\" and there is little hope that now that the pot of gold has been discovered that Thais will let go of the honey pot.  Rest assured this situation will get worse before it gets better.  Note that up until a few years ago when TPAs became a huge factor in the Thailand teaching market, teachers received 12 month contracts with several reasonable benefits.  So how is that we have all taken a step back towards the middle ages in salaries, contract stipulations, and the cutting of benefits while being tagged with expenses that were traditional born by Thai employers?  Likely this is a direct result of the rise of TPAs and their desire to profit in every possible way.  \n\nThailand continues to face many challenges in its drive towards ASEAN integration and linguistic development over the next few years.  The country\'s failed efforts to bilingualize its citizenry seems to lay in its xenophobia and fear of colonialism; Anglicization of the nation may just touch too many raw nerves in a nation that perceives itself as above so many others in the region and beyond, a sort of \"Pum jai or die\" attitude seems to prevail.  With this dominant attitude within the populous, is it ever likely that foreign English teachers will be sincerely welcomed into Thailand and compensated not only in a manner commensurate with our qualifications and expertise, but also in a context relative to the significant contributions we bring to Thailand and its people and the massive economic benefits that the country receives as it bilingualizes its citizenry?

Digital teaching will indefinitely be put into effect, as the majority of South-East Asian countries entirely rely on their technological items to keep them up to date with the world and they definitely intend on keeping it that way. \n\nMost, if not all private schools (not including the international schools) and language centers, will be allowed one foreign teacher per entity. The rest of the teachers will indefinitely end up being South-East Asians as the digital community begins to make a trend for itself within the education industry in South-East Asia. \n\nThe entire education system is currently under reform and will be presented to the government for evaluation and debate in either November or December, but not later than the end of 2015. Thailand desperately needs to teach it\'s people to communicate, not just in English, but in various other languages such as; Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese and various other South-East Asian languages. \n\nThailand is becoming an independent nation and soon it won\'t have such a large demand for foreign teachers as it had in the past, the proof is in the pudding. There are many reasons for this, some of which are mainly related to security concerns as Thailand has been made aware of the large scale illegal activities caused by foreign people within Thailand. \n\nThailand will slowdown it\'s international exports and focus on South-East Asia, China, Russia and various other markets.  Thailand\'s need for independence is much greater than any of you could possibly imagine. I mean, what country in it\'s right mind allows a military to take control of an entire country and then shifts the gear into total reform? On a global scale, there are only a handful of them. Many of you have learned that when in the range of a Thai firing squad, you need to steer as clear as possible as they will do whatever it takes to reach their goals which are all in the best interests of Thailand and it\'s people. \n\nThose who have jobs in language institutes or private schools will be scanned and very well monitored. If you live you life in such a way that isn\'t the life of a role model in the eyes of education and reform, then you become vulnerable to being a victim of Thai justice. Which usually ends up getting you on a very dark blacklist along with many other names. If you live your life which seems acceptable in the eyes of say for example, the Lord Buddha, then you are well on your way of having the best life any foreigner could ever ask for here in Thailand. Unless you have  500,000 Thai Baht to pay for a Thailand Elite Membership, which gives you a 5 year access to Thailand, well, then that\'s a totally different story. \n\nTake Phuket for example, look what went down in Phuket and how many foreigners are struggling to retrieve the huge amounts of money they paid for land or housing. Thais can be very friendly if you really get to know them. I am not talking about knowing the girls and their friends, I am talking about knowing the locals personally. Become friends with them and chat with them without having to drink a beer. I usually begin a conversation with any Thai person I meet, including the 7-eleven staff and the staff at the gas stations, policemen, soldiers, and I sometimes even help the old ladies cross the road. Thais like to see foreigners love their country and respect them as people. \n\nMany foreigners have made many obscene and very sensitive comments on-line, which they probably assumed would never reach the eyes of the Thai locals, though the things that are said and talked about are a bit harsh and did get the proper government attention. If you know nothing about the history of Thailand and what the root causes are of why Thai people are the way they are and why many Thai locals treat foreigners and their own kind with disrespect, then maybe you shouldn\'t be coming to Thailand expecting to have a good life and then end up judging Thai people for their mistakes.  \n\nInstead of making biased judgments based on a bending of the truth which was mostly caused by British, American, Irish, Australian and Scottish influence, you should try to understand Thai people and all that they are. The question on the Thai government\'s mind right now is, \"Why has it taken us so long for our students to learn English?\".  \n\nAn unknown entity came up with an answer while pointing fingers towards the West and it\'s political involvement within Thailand. The West has suppressed and oppressed Thailand for over a century for it\'s own personal vendettas. Now, try and read the future in that crystal ball of yours and ask yourself these two questions (for those big-mouthed smart asses flashing their judgments around and those co-inspiring individuals who seem to believe that Thailand is probably the stupidest country in the world for not seeing what we did to Thailand); What exactly does Thailand know and what are they willing to do to cope with it? \n\nI am in total support of Thailand\'s reform, transformation, security, prosperity, stability and success. Long live the King.  \n\n\n\n\n\n',0,'171.97.170.41',1,'2015-06-11 15:05:30','2015-06-12 00:13:08'),(4576,24093,'Robert Noftz','robnoftz@yahoo.com','Chiang Mai','I got a message in my email that someone commented on this post.

The teacher controls the agenda, not the students. The students must be taught this from the very first time you are in front of them.\n\nThat said, there are factors that play against the teacher when you try to enforce this.\n\nFirst off, Asians are a continent of \'game players\' whatever age they are. They take very little seriously, so most education of almost any type and at any level must be at least entertaining. Farang teachers had better adapt to this if they want a successful career teaching in Thailand.\n\nNext - Asians simply don\'t like learning things. Their attention spans are not optimized for learning stuff.\n\nAlso - Classes are sometimes just too long and need the break that a light activity will bring.\n\nFinally - Learning from books IS dull. It always has been and always will be. Add to that the relevance and quality of text books available in Asia and that\'s a recipe for disaster in the classroom.

That\'s poor classroom management. Sensible, well thought out games can be much more instructive and valuable as a teaching tool than chalk and books. \n\nIf you have a lot of students in your classroom, the air con is broken and it\'s pissing down with rain outside, then games can be an effective way to reduce the stress and tedium.\n\nJoko has very long classes. Two and a half hours is just too long for any type of serious academic focus. Games aren\'t a distraction from the subject you are teaching, they\'re just another tool.

Many of my school colleagues went on to be very successful. Most of my teachers were very intelligent and were able to inspire their students. My favourite teacher gave me praise, criticism and challenged me his sheer enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. I was 11 years old when he first started teaching me and not once in 7 years did we play a game in his class, yet  almost without exception every student achieved well in their exams and enjoyed his class. To state that anyone who does not play games in class is wrong is well just wrong. A fantastic teacher will inspire his students to want to learn without having to play games. I am not criticizing teachers who do use games but I would also not criticize a teacher who does not need to use them as they are able to inspire their students in other ways. I personally think a teacher who can create a mentally stimulating and challenging environment with their enthusiasm and personality will have his lessons enjoyed more by his students than someone who uses games as a crutch.

He invented all kinds of brilliant games and machines to keep us all interested in what we were learning. \r\n\r\nOne of these was a complicated clockwork machine that he built from scratch which would display random numbers from the wall above his head. He could change the speed at which the numbers appeared with some sort of key. The \'game\' was to write down our \'times tables\' when the numbers came up. The man was a genius as well as inspiring, patient and dedicated. He relied, in part, on games to educate his students. \r\n\r\nSo, the answer is - Yes, the teacher who inspired me the most DID play games in class.

It could be that the teacher doesn\'t know the answer. That\'s it. No more questioning. \r\n\r\n  It\'s again all about the \"loss of face\". Would a teacher not know the answer, he, or she\'d immediately lose face.\r\n\r\n  It might sound weird for people who\'re not in this system, but it\'s also a big problem in a teacher/student relationship. \r\n\r\nI\'ve had students and discussed this \"problem\" with them, there\'s really nothing they could do. If the teacher tells them that a blackboard is white, they have to accept it.\r\n\r\nWhich of course also hinders the students\' critical thinking skills in a way that the situation is so out of control.\r\n\r\n The Thai teachers let them copy material that might contain words, meanings, sentence structures,theories, etc...but the teachers don\'t even understand their own lessons, because they printed it off the internet.\r\n\r\nI have and had many students who\'re much better than their English teacher. It must be terrible to see all the mistakes and finally find out that the kid who\'s got absolutely zero English skills finally gets a higher grade at the end of the year.\r\n\r\n  With other words, it\'s the hell on earth for the clever students. I\'m teaching English now for 11 years and still see and experience Thai teachers who\'re only good with a bamboo stick to hit them.\r\n\r\n         I held countless seminars for Thai English teachers, both, primary and secondary level, how to teach English mist effectively and came to the conclusion that most of them shouldn\'t be English teachers.\r\n\r\n   There\'re only a few who can have a simple conversation in English, which   is a part of the explanation why the students\' English is so poor. Then please add some \"experienced NES teachers from Russia, sent by an agency, stir them well and you\'ve got the situation at Thai schools how it is these days.\r\n\r\n I feel very sorry for the students and truly hope that they wake up soon.

They\'re speaking to a Korean or Japanese or a Chinese national.\r\n\r\nConsider Spanish and English. Both have a similar number of native speakers. But English has an additional 2 billion people that speak it as a second language - in addition to its 400 million or so native speakers.  \r\n\r\nIt’s the only language where the number of non-native speakers dwarf the number of native speakers.  And it’s why English is far more important than Mandarin even though that Chinese language has a least twice the number of native speakers.\r\n\r\nReady or not, English is the language of global business. \r\n\r\nConsider the example of Rakuten – Japan’s largest online retailer.  In 2010, CEO Hiroshi Mikitani, mandated that English would be the company’s official language – a change that effected some 7,100 Japanese employees.\r\n \r\nHis goal was to make Rakuten a top internet services company. And that meant that expansion had to come from outside Japan.\r\n \r\nOvernight, the Japanese language cafeteria menus were replaced, as were elevator directories and all other “official” company communications. He stated the employees would have to demonstrate competence in an English scoring system within two years – or risk demotion or even dismissal.\r\n\r\nSo what happened? Today the “English mandate” has allowed Rakuten to create a much more powerful organization. Three out of the six senior executives in the engineering organization in Tokyo aren’t Japanese as the company aggressively seeks the best talent from around the globe.\r\n \r\nHalf of Rakuten’s Japanese employees can now adequately engage in English communications and 25% of them communicate in English to foreign partners and subsidiaries on a regular basis. They’re no longer shy to use English.\r\n \r\nThat’s why Thailand’s blue chip companies, who are increasingly looking to compete in today’s global markets, need to speak the language of business.\r\n \r\nThe world is increasingly (and rapidly) learning English as it second language. That’s why you’re teaching English today.\r\n',1,'118.174.187.185',1,'2015-07-03 01:15:43','2015-07-03 05:15:52'),(4613,26989,'UrbanMan','seawaggg@yahoo.com','Near an aircon','You mention doing activities way from work - such as what?

I\'ve been with my girlfriend since October last year.  My girlfriend is Thai but speaks almost perfect English. She doesn\'t live with me but works the same days that I do which is one of the reasons I don\'t mind working weekends. She lived in New York for a year so is used to the big city life but it\'s fair to say she doesn\'t want to be going out to RCA and KhaoSan every week to party. This is obviously a big influence on my habits but I can\'t say I feel the urge to party as much as before. Maybe it\'s me getting old but I think I\'m just a bit bored of always going to the same places. \r\n\r\nAway from work I play a lot of sport.  At my condo I have a swimming pool, badminton courts, Tennis courts and a gym ( although I never use the gym really ). I\'ll also play golf maybe once a month- 100 balls at the driving range cost 100 Baht. Having a weekday off means I can also play golf at a much cheaper rate than the weekend prices - as low as 400 Baht a round. I have several groups of people that I play sport with, both Thai and other expats. This often leads to dinner / drinks after -maybe twice a week.  \r\n\r\nI also do the usual sightseeing, shopping and cinema trips that most people here do. I guess these are normal activities you would do back home and don\'t sound too exciting but I can\'t do something amazing everyday.  I watch TV, mainly sports, but I\'ll invite some friends over to watch the football or rugby. I also watch a couple of American series with my girlfriend which is fun but we also do it to help her English. \r\n\r\nAs to my lifestyle I know that it\'s very different now compared to my first year here. Travelling around Thailand was fantastic and I made great new friends. I arrived here when I was 25 and maybe most of my friends were a bit younger so partying was always on the cards. As I said most of them have gone back home and I have new groups of friends and my girlfriend who have different ideas about what they like to do. Maybe a gap year student reading this will think I live a boring life now whereas an older expat will think it\'s a better decision to stay away from partying so much. For me I don\'t miss the partying but I do miss the travelling.  I have more stability now and feel like I am living here rather than on a gap year. I prefer my life now with a couple of nights out a week but avoiding central bangkok and going out to local places near where I live. \r\n\r\nI have been working weekends for nearly 18 months and for me it\'s not a problem. Many of my friends also work weekends and of course I get time off during the week. I Could never work 7 days a week which I know some people do with private students etc. getting midweek days off means cheaper prices at some places ( cinema, golf course) and less people in general. I also finish work at 6pm on weekends so can still get out to visit friends and go places - not many social events happen mid afternoon. I start work at midday on the weekend so I can sleep in a bit if Ido go out.

Online articles and blogs have long since abandoned traditional rules of written communication for the sake of hastily written snappy entertainment. (Should there be a comma after the word \'written\'? Oops!)\r\n\r\nAlso, it\'s worth remembering that for the most part, Asians learn English to communicate with other Asians and not native English speakers. Being pedantic about \'old school\' rules just takes up too much time and may just \'annoy the pig!\' We should be especially cautious about setting the importance of correct grammar too high if the end result of learning English is to be understood (rather than admired!)\r\n\r\nI\'m not advocating that we should abandon all the rules. But (oops, again!) teachers should be very aware of the level of their students, the reasons why they are studying and the impact that too much correction will have on the student\'s enthusiasm to learn.\r\n\r\nI would find it annoying to read a native English speaker who started sentences with conjunctions because I was raised \'old school.\' I wouldn\'t find the same habit so offensive if the writer was my Asian student.\r\n\r\n\"Should we use the standards we hold our best writers to when marking the writings of our non-NES students?\"\r\n\r\nAbsolutely not.\r\n\r\nFirstly, it\'s just distracting for the student to have inconsequential elements of written English picked up on if the general meaning and intent is otherwise clear.\r\nSecondly, your limited time with a student or a class can be much better spent covering other, more important aspects of writing. \r\nThirdly, just because the written English you are reading isn\'t right, doesn\'t necessarily mean that it\'s wrong.\r\n\r\nWould you correct a student of intermediate ability if he or she wrote \"The girl had brown, long hair.\"?\r\nI\'d have to think twice about that.\r\nFor a start I couldn\'t explain why it should read \"The girl had long, brown hair.\"\r\n\'It just does!\' isn\'t a good way to learn!\r\n\r\nThe rules of written English have to be introduced very delicately by an instructor who is really in tune with his class. The educator should also keep in mind that anything he \'teaches\' should be important enough to be learned and remembered.

School English teachers say that it\'s wrong because some kids overdo it. Rather than teach the subtleties of creative written expression it\'s easier to simply say \'Don\'t do it!\'\r\n\r\nIn fact, using coordinating conjunctions to begin a sentence allows the writer a greater degree of flexibility when it comes to his or her style and tone.

I think it\'s a very personal thing.\n\nA couple of years ago, my wife and I went to Paris for a fortnight.

Apart from one exchange at the station to buy a couple of train tickets - absolutely none! 100 hours of my time technically wasted. Without a doubt.\n\nHowever, the investment of time to study Thai - for me anyway - is just about worth it. Just about. I do need to communicate with my mother-in-law, the staff at the gym, the maid - and one or two others.  Knowing Thai does make my life easier. \n\nBut I study Thai on my terms. I don\'t battle traffic to get to a Thai language school or have a teacher come to my home. I don\'t arrange anything that creates \'an appointment\'.

Otherwise you feel a bit at a disadvantage if the only people you can talk to are other English speaking expats or tourists.\nI first learned some Thai many years ago when I was on a trek and my walking boots fell apart when crossing a river many times in one day. The Thai guide expertly made a rope from bits of bamboo that he had chopped up with a machete and tied my boots to my feet. Inspite of this I could not walk very fast as the bamboo ropes kept working loose so I was at the tail end of the trekking group.  It was boring having to walk carefully and not speak to any farangs, who had gone further ahead,  so I spent two days talking to the trekking guide who could speak not only English, German and Thai but also Karen, Akkha, Lisu, Lahu,and Burmese. He taught me about 20 Thai phrases over the course of the two days and later I learned more from various phrase books.\n\nNow after having spent about a month or two in Thailand every year for the past 20 years  I can speak enough Thai for about a half hour conversation with a Thai person. That is not as difficult as it seems because for the first half hour everyone seems to ask the same things. It is only after that it gets more difficult when the conversation turns to something other than everyday smalltalk.\n\nMostly people will first of all ask about you, your name and country and how many times you have been to Thailand, and what you think of it. Then they will ask where you have been in Thailand and where you live in your country and about your job. Maybe something about how many brothers or sisters you have . Next is usually a question asking if you are single and what you think of Thai girls. \n\nIf you learn to rabbit on about these subjects for a while then the locals think you can speak good Thai, but little do they know that you have been asked the same questions hundreds of times. \nFirst of all I made the mistake of learning from bargirls..... I ended up with  fairly OK Thai but an accent that was too high pitched and once got mistaken for being a ladyboy. \nSince then I made very,  very  sure I used a deeper voice and started learning from tuk tuk drivers and any Thai men (not katoys)  who had  deep voices and the time to chat .\n\nIn the meantime I have also learned the Thai alphabet from a 20 baht kids book which I got from a Thai bookstore in Hatyai and got my (now Ex) Thai girlfriend to tell me the sounds and names of the letters. Among the first things I was able to read was the Thai washing powder which looks like USA but is the Thai alphabet for \"Breeze\".  (although in a more modern font than the one that is used in the kids books) \n\nWhen reading  the modern font most letters resemble our letters but it looks like that  because the little loops are simplified into a small dash at the place where the letter begins that determins what letter it is. \nAfter a while I  started to be able to read signs in Thai, and it encouraged me to continue. \n\nI taught English for several years in Hatyai, but when working you are encouraged to only use English so the only Thai I got to use was ordering food and beer in the evenings since my girlfriend wanted to learn English and usually didn\'t want me to speak Thai except when visiting her parents  who couldn\'t speak English at all.\n\nNow I am working in a school in England but still go on holiday to Thailand as I regard it as my second home because I know lots of people there. I found that a website called Learn Thai with Mod is a good free one and I still try to read a bit of Thai every day. My experience speaking Thai to Thai people is that most of them are more friendly if you speak Thai.

I wrote blogs for ajarn.com about it too and also in my book \"Watching the Thais\".\n\nI too have gotten used to the oil money and since I made the move have bought 4 condos in cash, some land, travelled all over the world and still have a bank balance and disposable income that I once used to only dream about.\n\nYes, it\'s not a bed of roses living and working in KSA. My Thai wife found it hard to adapt at first what with always having to wear an abaya and not being able to drive herself around. Women having to rely on Asian male drivers can be very frustrating in a country already frustrating for most. A case in point is the 5 prayer times where everything stops and closes so you become quite adept at timing it so you can both shop AND eat during one period without prayer!\n\nAnd yes, the students are by and large easy to teach and quite respectful towards foreign teachers. It\'s just a shame that they are not more independent as learners as they could easily get a lot more out of their learning experience if this was the case.\n\nI am about to start a new job in Bahrain for similar cash and benefits and that will be a welcome break from 5.5 years at a CoE in Riyadh. Being able to buy alcohol from a shop and take it home, go to a bar and restaurant and order a beer, see live music and watch a movie are all things my wife and I are looking forward to.

I\'ve been here for nearly 2 years now and have been teaching in various schools around Phuket, and various levels. At the moment I\'m teaching in a Government school in Patong. I\'m employed through an Agency in Phuket Town and have been with this agency for over a year now.  This is only my version of how it\'s been for me, so please don\'t shoot me down. I personally have had enough of teaching here. The school I\'m teaching at does not provide me with a regular enthusiastic Thai assistant teacher, I\'m trying to teach kids as young as 5 yo who cant even speak or understand their own language. I\'m supposed to teach a syllabus that they have no concept of at all. I have teachers at this school that will not even acknowledge me. They think we are making lots of money. Here\'s my calculations on what I actually earn over a year. 30,000฿ p/m less tax = 29,000฿ p/m now given I don\'t get paid for school break nor holidays I\'m actually only working about 8 months of the year so that equates 8 months for 12 months is less than 20,000bht a month in real terms. And of course I have to pay for all my permits and visas out of that.  I can\'t survive on that sorry but I can\'t and I don\'t know too many people that can as a single person. Other countries pay a lot better and give much better incentives for teachers and make them feel welcome, not so here. The obvious question, so why am I still here?

Having worked in many other cities as well I believe this not only happening in Varee but in most school. Nepotism is alive and well and the unofficial cast system is gaining relavence again. These are the reasons for immigration problems and inefficiencies in all areas of Thailand at the moment.\n\nWe westerners are becoming less and less important because we keep asking for others to solve our problems for us. 12 years ago I saw newby teachers (me included) entering classrooms and finding out the realities of teaching. i was lucky enough to be around a group of people that did not ask for help but researched. We were constantly reading books for ideas and as uncool as this may seem teaching pschycologies (sorry about the spelling. never my strong point) was very popular. These days I see many newbies spending there free time on Fartbook (seriously most of the stuff on facebook is just hot air and we can add twitter) and talking about how their assistant teacher does not help them.\n  I can only hope that more creative people who now how to tell stories and can convert the curriculum into true Sunook become more frequent in Thailand. THe Thai word Sunook does not mean fun. Sunook =  70% interesting and 30 % fun.  Personally i dis brand names and consumption. You would be amazed how the kids want to argue the point. They love they bright shiny distractions. Unfortunately most western teachers are now in the same boat.  \n\nTeaching is great fun and I cannot imagine doing something different, i suspect I have this opinion because I am an old fashioned teacher. Question everything and take your students into this world. It is such a big change for them as both Westerners and Thai teachers are now preparing students to put the correct word in the correct box.

To anyone that lives in Thailand (coming from a born and raised in Thailand but grew up in the States guy) thinking they can just get a tourist Visa for their GF, Fiance, boo, whatever, I have some tips for you.\r\n\r\n1) Tourist visas are generally for wealthy folks. Unless you can show proofs that you have assets such as homes, business, or a financial reason why you would want or need to come back to Thailand you are out of luck. INS do not care who you are they only care about propper documentations.\r\n\r\n2) \"Working contract as a Thai government officer (a relatively sought-after and respected position here)\" Let me guess she makes around $35k/month or so (roughly $1000) ? Think about that for a minute. It is respectable in Thailand yes. But she can wash dishes in the States for $1500 a month which up her salary by 50% hence that is the reason why people from developing country come to the U.S. on whatever visas and never leave. Case in point one of my parent\'s friend been living in the States for over 8 years on a student visa that expired 6 years ago. \r\n\r\n3) One of the more important one. Thais are some shady folks. Many of the visa requesting folks often lie to the INS agents. You and your fiancé may have a real relationship but there are a lot of people in Thailand that either married on contracts so they can get a visa and defect or the Thai women will bamboozled an American Gringo to bring her to the States and then just completely disappears.

I do this myself and the kids really get into it. It gives them ownership and a personal connection to what is being learnt. It does take a long time for the students to get the confidence to stand up so i normally start with them writing a story and i read out the story to the class. I than ask who wrote it (I already know) and i hope that the student has the confidence to raise their hand. it does not take long before many students gain the confidence and we move onto continuing the stories verbally.\r\nThe best part is that these students are in grade 2. They have not been at school long enough to become institutionalised. The freedom to express themselves has not been driven out of them.\r\nI personally send students out of the class if they are miss behaving but i have them stand by the door so they can still hear and see the lesson. I also tell them what my nickname is. Sunook Jai lai. The funny monster. They learn very quickly that if they do the right thing I am the funny guy but do the wrong thing and I am be monster. \r\nThe kids respect you if they understand that you are there to help and like all kids all over the world they just want fairness.  They know who is there for them and who is on a years holiday.  This does not mean you cannot use your travels in the classroom. Most of the stuff you walk passed in your travels are in the curricullum. We as teachers just have to be aware of this and take the photo.  This is where selfies are great. YOu will soon find students bringing in their own photos about they own experiences. i current example is I found a coconut that had sprouted its first leaves on the beach. it is now at school. It is known as baby. It has just started to sprout roots. I am now getting kids taking photos of plants around their house and bringing them to school. \r\nTeaching does not need to be a drawn out waste of time between weekends. It can be so much more. Forget your classroom teacher. Forget your assistant teacher. The curricullum is designed to help students understand the world they live in.

Relax or as Aaron Rodgers said best R-E-L-A-X. It was for the original poster of the article. Thus the Fiancé or GF part as well as the government employee too. I just read your post and I am sorry that happened to you. Coming from a current AD military man I thank him for his service many years ago.  Unfortunately for you though the State Dept. really do not care  and probably never will. Again, your situation is unique but I stand firm on believing that many Thais or anyone from developing nations are fairly crooked. Hell, I will even admit that I can only trust a handful of my OWN family member and I grew up in Thailand. Case in point read this article:\r\n\r\nhttp://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34346620\r\n\r\nThis is not even a unique or uncommon situation that I have read about. This man have a life, a business, a child with the woman. She shafted him without batting an eyelash. Needless to say if this woman had a chance to leave her hubby for some Schmo in England for a better life I am certain she would have jumped on it.\r\n\r\nNow back to your situation, put on your thinking cap for a second and pretend you are the GOV. Regardless if you stayed in the U.S. or only visiting, if you cannot find a decent job in USA, get proper healthcare, or even manage an income, then what happens? You and your family will become their problem as in they are shelling out SNAP, Section 8, etc. Which is why it takes a long time to get proper visa for your wife and which is why they did not approve her tourist visa. The biggest thing is showing the State Dept representative at the consulate that your wife has a reason to come back to Thailand. Generally that is to show  both your liquid and fixed assets that she has a reason to come back. That could be anything in the form of money in your Thai bank account (from my knowledge it has to be in the $20K USD and up range), or a deed to your home that you or your wife owns outright with no lien. \r\n\r\nOne of the biggest hurdle for me to get my wife immigrated from Honduras (the country doesn\'t matter as they are trained to do the same processing at the same place before being shipped off overseas to do the approval) to the U.S. was my income. I had to be certain level above the poverty line or her green card would not have been approved.

I myself had a Philippine teacher friend denied by US Immigration and he had all the items that everyone appears to believe are essential. Additionally, I was available as his sponsor to lend credence to his story.  Here is my personal bottom line and many won\'t like it.\n\nImmigration to the United States is a complete joke. Quota systems (they deny this) and national security concerns are so irrelevant when one considers what is happening on the United States southern border at present. Customs and border protection has been instructed to not impede the migration of incoming hoards from Central and South America with this seemingly silly proviso that a citation should be issued with an order to appear in court in the next 30 days for case disposition. All of this is accompanied with a paid for bus ticket to Chicago, Columbus, Phoenix or who knows where as a destination. Don\'t believe me? Read the news in the last 8 months or so. Border patrol has been given implicit instructions to go \"hands off\".  \n\nMy sense is a blatant disregard for the rule of law  by the present administration,and additionally the imperative to change the demographics and content of the voting public without the usual red tape and need to somehow impede all those nasty European and Anglo types from entering the States. They don\'t vote properly and besides, the \"south of the border crowd are our kind of people. They come for \"love\".\n\nConsider my Philippine friend. A registered nurse, a certified Biology teacher with and established track record, an American sponsor, and a brother in the Bay Area. Additionally he has a fat bank account and a contract of employment running till April of 2016. Our kind of tourist? Incorrect. He was given about 7 minutes and asked 5 questions including why do you want to go to the states, although he possessed my personal endorsement for return and attestation of personal character. \n\nNow in the off chance that said Philippine friend decided to disappear into the hinterlands of the US, who would we really rather have; our friend from Ol Mexico or Bolivia who speaks no English, has a 5th grade education and who will end up washing dishes somewhere, or the man from Manila that can hit the ground running. Now I ask you.\n\nI was going to say that something is \"rotten in Denmark\" but immigration by Danes is not my point exactly, you get my drift. \n\nLet us also consider the visa on arrival countries like Japan. One just drops in for a little holiday on the West Coast and is granted a 6 month stay. How perfectly cozy, yet our Philippine friends, former countrymen of sorts, (like Puerto Rico, Guam etc.) who fought along side our men in the Second World War and who as a general population are probably more educated that the average American, I dare say. and did I mention, they are bilingual, and are as a rule not welcome and must submit to the Visa process. Shameful!\n\nPerhaps there are scattered in the interview process planted \"hatchet men\" that are designated to provide a requisite number of denials. Who knows. It makes the States look bad or worse than we are already are looked upon and for what? \n\nI love the States.

As a fellow American I am fully aware of racism there but in Thailand I don\'t believe it as much racism as it is more about class and skin color. For example a Thai woman could be the most beautiful woman in all of Thailand but if she has dark skin any opportunity for modeling, acting, advertisement, or even winning a beauty pageant  will not be available for her just soley based on her skin color.  My Thai girlfriend who has dark skin has experienced  people she knows and even complete strangers telling her she is not beautiful because of her dark skin, even though she is actually a beautiful woman. I think for this prejudice and discrimination to change for both Thais and non Thais who have dark or what Thais would call black skin, even if it\'s actually brown, is a  Martin Luther King type of movement. One big problem and why it probably will not happen is most Thais wth dark skin have been so brainwashed by the media and their culture that they also believe it\'s true to.

This is going to be lengthy, so for those people who don’t like walls-o-text, I suggest you save yourself the time and read another post.\n\nLet’s begin.\n\nAfter reading the whole document and I will come back to this, it seems you have some disdain for those who generalise about Thai people. Yet right off the bat you claim a small proportion of foreigners here are able to fit in but yet a large proportion just don’t, or won’t. \n\nThat, especially based on what you yourself say is your ‘own’ opinion, followed by ‘I don’t go out very often and I certainly don’t try to socialise,’ seems to somewhat limit your basis for reasoning like this, and sort of puts you in the vice versa position of generalising about ‘farang.’\nForeigners don’t all have this Butlins style attitude of huge cheesy grins or a small town American attitude of smiling to everyone including next doors dog with a tip of the hat and a morning greeting. \n\nYou seem to overlook at some cultures aren’t about smiles from a distance, you forget some people may just be surprised that you smile at them, or spend that brief moment thinking ‘Wait a sec, do I know him?’ or indeed, just not be in the mood, that is of course if they actually did see you smile at them, and not just a brief glance where it looked like you were engaged with each other but actually they were staring into space or at something behind you.\n\nAlso, the following paragraph you talk about conversation starters. Your misunderstanding of people and basic conversation shines blindingly here. What do English people do in England when they meet new people in a shop, in a queue, or just at a bus stop? ‘It’s not half cold today.’\n\nThat’s what we do, that’s how we start conversations, by finding things that we equally as foreigners may have in common. If you are working in Thailand, as I do, and teach especially, the complaining about the way things are run here may hold some healing and remedying effects that in your haste you may overlook.\n\nWhen you are new to the country or even after a year here and things aren’t going well at work in a new environment, it helps to talk about these things as it 1. May help people bond, 2. Brings up a common conversation point, and 3. Offer a chance for either party to understand the country more.\n\nHow? By realising one is not alone, and by realising the foreign objection to some of these ‘stupid’ or ‘intolerable’ things isn’t just one nit-picking, but the way that this country operates on many levels.\n\nWhen a foreigner like myself feels singled out, or bullied, or abused for trying to do something which is right, and is pushed aside in order for something quite to the contrary to be carried out, it makes us think that we are the problem.\n\nWhen you realise you aren’t alone, you get to understand this is the modus operandi and you can learn to at least fit yourself around it, which is ironic considering your claim that it is just for the sake of complaining that foreigners do ‘whinge’.\n\nAs for the traffic, I think you have picked a rather dull point to discuss, as this doesn’t actually support what you are trying to achieve with your message, instead it makes it seem like you are just having a stab at foreigners. \n\nEveryone complains about traffic, everywhere. From London to Athens, Tokyo to New York, Beijing to Bangkok, but you are using this as an example of what ‘foreigners complain about’? Seriously?\n\nOn your point of ‘Thais are so stupid,’ yes, they are. And guess what, English people like me are also stupid, you are stupid, and, well, people are stupid. \n\nBut in which sense do you mean stupid, if you mean uneducated then the way people do something may not be appropriate, without education on the clear, methodical way to carry out tasks or instructions, with abstract thought and considering consequences, then this is sort of more that they are ignorant – ignorant to the correct way to do things. \n\nIf you mean stupid as in stupid behaviour then yes, I can say Thai people in particular are stupid. And I can give you an example, with a sample size of at LEAST 300 people, just on one ride on Rama 4, and up to Victory Monument. Songkran.\n\nThrowing dishes of cold water into the faces of motorcyclists, many motorcyclists of which I have seen with passengers on their bikes including little babies.\n\nI was victim to this travelling with my friend on the back of my motorbike and if you can think of any other way to describe hurling pales and dishes of water into the eyes of motorists travelling 80km/h +, I eagerly await it. And we could get into the whole ‘So just stay home…’ but remember, we are talking about stupidity and stupid behaviour.\n\nIf you mean the systems here, are they stupid? Education, largely, yes. It is almost like one huge farce, a long running comedy sketch if you like, \n\n‘Why is that stupid?’ I hear you ask, well, it’s not. It is actually a good thing. The stupidity comes after, where, after copying or not, kids still fail, like a previous student of mine. First exam attempt 0%. Second attempt 2%. Third attempt 1%. Then..\n\n..wait for it…… (and remember kids are not allowed to cheat because copying is wrong).. BOOM!\n\nThey are stamped with 50% and passed anyway. Teachers are not allowed to ruin a child’s education by overlooking cheating, no no, this is Thailand, ruining kids is the schools job.\n\nNow, does that sound sensible?\n\nI would like to remind you also that culture is a sort of an in country practice among other people, it doesn’t automatically include foreigners just because we are visiting here.\n\nI myself have received flak for disapproving of some practices, stupid practices and prohibitions like the denial of decent education in biology for a start, and in turn been told that ‘this is Thai culture.’\n\nIt is not something I have to join in with, so long as I observe it, don’t interfere with it, and don’t tell Thai people how to behave in their own country. I wouldn’t do this. But I would consider denying children a part of their natural and life science education not only as stupid, but as a retarding factor contrary to the point of enlightening and educating the populous.\n\nOne thing I really resent reading in your post is your nonsensical use of the words ‘Western logic.’\n\nLogic is logic, it isn’t western or eastern, northern or southern, it may have emerged from Ancient Greece, but is a disciplined order of thought, put better in it’s definition: ‘reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.’ It doesn’t ‘belong’, but is rather adopted, and when something is stupid it’s because the way in which the action is carried out is contrary to the way it should be, or detrimental to the very point it is initiated.\n\nCommon sense is largely amiss in Thailand, and this most definitely, if it cannot be referred to as stupid, is not sensible, or reasonable.\nI could move on to things like the evils of Buddhism, or the irony of the Lord Buddha’s precepts and the whole don’t drink or kill, or lie or steal, when switching on the news or looking out the window at this Great Buddhist Nation.\n\nWe will leave those insensibilities for another time.\n\nThe food is too spicy is a matter of observable fact, and a matter of taste. Either way we are more than within our rights to dislike food that is too ‘hot’. \n\nSpicy food causes pain receptors to run wild, and while I like food like som tum a bit spicy, I have often had to almost physically restrain the vendor who was putting enough chilis in her pestil and mortar that the finished product would be indistinguishable from a plate of napalm.\nPeople get tired of eating the same things all the time. \n\nAnd? It’s the same for me here. Tom yum kung, kaprao, jok, the same in England, pie and chips, beans on toast, it’s the human condition to enjoy the variety of flavours and the need to break out of the norm, it doesn’t make foreigners better or worse than anyone else.\n\nAnd when you say Thai cuisine is some of the finest in the world. Erm, another generalism. I can say, no it’s not. Not for everyone. The enjoyment of food again, is a subjective opinion which changes from person to person.\n\nAnd fast food and British pubs? Erm, what? Are you saying that when the opportunity is there, one must ignore the alternatives and act on the understanding that one is ‘obliged’ to dine on Thai food? I should hope not, and is choosing or enjoying British food or fast food a reason to leave Thailand? (Implying that eating Thai food is a necessity or a reason to stay.)\n\nFinally, what can I say about ‘Thai girls want money’?\nI simply point to Pattaya. I point to the prostitutes, the thousands of women here who simply choose the seductive vampiric and easy road route of playing men in order for money, while they have their Thai husband on the side.\n\nI am always interested in the thinking of those people who say ‘Yes but it’s not EVERY Thai girl, or, yes but not ALL muslims are bad (when discussing religion.)’\n\nSo then I have a question, how many Thai girls must be in the game for foreigners money before your lordship, or anyone else permits us to make the statement Thai girls just want money? When we say it of COURSE we don’t mean all Thai girls.\n\nBut when you say ‘It’s not all,’ all you do is sort of blanket the problem at the same time as you state the obvious.\n',1,'14.207.169.16',1,'2015-11-23 10:34:23','2015-11-23 11:02:27'),(4926,176,'jbkk','fongtaiyuk@hotmail.com','bkk','Joe- you said practically everything I wanted to say.

I had been queried by the Ministry of Education once as to remedies.  I made these recommendations:\r\nFirst: Lead from the top to the bottom.  This means enforce the laws and rules from the national to the provincial and school levels.  \r\n   a) Cease the \'No student fails\" philosophy and make it plain to the parents and students it is by their individual efforts where they will pass or fail in class.\r\n   b) Get the parents involved in the education through regular parent-teacher  meetings.  These meetings should be where the parents are shown the students performance in the records of grades in class performance and participation.\r\n   c) Use the Thais desire to play games to learning experiences.  Incentivise the participation of the students and keep records\r\n2) The funding from the national office should not be dog robbed to the pockets of the school administrators.  Truly designate separate funding for teacher, school administration, and classroom supplies salaries.  \r\n    a) Pay the teachers for demonstrated and recorded performance.  Scale the pay to training, years experience and performance.\r\n   b) prosecute the administrators at provincial and school levels who pocket the \'extra\' funds designated for teacher salaries  \r\n3) Drop the \'save face\' attitude in lessons.  Effectively teach when asked a question listen, understand the question and answer the question.  Do not just say \'yes\' .  Saving \'face\' by telling the questioner any answer without understanding the question is not acceptable to a NES.  This is going to be a battle of Thai culture and asian custom with NES culture and custom.   It will force a different frame of mind thinking process.\r\n4) Go on a sincere and honest teacher search recruitment outside of Thailand with emphasis on finding master teachers who could take sabaticals to teach in Thailand for 1-3 yrs.  Make the criteria for selection be degrees in science, mathematics and humanities from Canada, America, England, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.  Then when hired place them with schools and teachers in the schools, province offices and national office who really speak English to work as a team to produce curriculum at the appropriate level.  Push the curriculum from the schools up the chain of command.   Supply them with housing appropriate to the standards the teacher left.\r\n5) Most important, Communicate without intimidation.  Lead with honesty by example from the top.  Nothing will get or gain support and cooperation for these policy and cultural changes than honest sincere leadership from the top of the chain of command down through the provinces to the schools and classroom.',1,'171.100.158.114',1,'2015-11-27 00:28:22','2015-11-27 01:44:28'),(4936,30473,'Oscar the Grouch','otheg@sesamest.org','my garbage can on Soi Sesame','Just before reading this, I was telling the wife we need to donate the bag of shoes she and the daughter no longer wear and the work pants I can no longer fit into.

Leaving aside the embarrassment factor of complaining, especially if you don\'t know Thai,  you would eventually bite the bullet and pay what they ask, because it would take too much time to go somewhere else after waiting for whatever.  If you have driven out to a restaurant in the middle of nowhere, and you notice the menu has a foreigner price, are you going to spend time and energy to find somewhere else?  No, you will probably bite the bullet.  \r\n\r\nThat\'s what the scam relies on- it\'s a large enough increase to annoy, but not large enough to prompt a confrontation.  If it was too much, it would.  But just because it isn\'t a king\'s ransom, doesn\'t mean it makes me feel good, or that it doesn\'t add up.\r\n\r\nOh, and, often, you are being scammed.  That is why the Thai price is \"hidden\" in Thai numerals in many places.

Do you think that is fair?  Do you think it sends a message of friendliness and inclusion, or one of mistrust and \"otherness\"?  I enjoy it far more when dirty cheaters and their cons are rumbled, actually.

In this case, the perceived difference is that wealthy people will not worry about it very much, the money to them is trivial, but it would be a big deal to poor people (in econ-talk; park admissions is highly income-elastic).   So the govt. is looking for a way to figure out who is a wealthy park goer, and who is the poor one.\r\n\r\nThe solution is who is a Farang, who isn’t.  They get 10 million tourists a year, most of them go to a couple of museums, temples or parks while here.  That is 30 million or so visits; and they are all relatively wealthy (they couldn’t fly here otherwise), and if they want to see the temple, it is now or never.  Compare that to the 50,000 or so permanent residents, who go maybe once or twice a year, and assume that half of them stop going because they are angry about it.  So you just gave up 100,000 visits, vs. the extra revenue from charging 3-10 times as much on the other 30,000,000 visits.  A no brainer.\r\n\r\nThe govt. needs a simple signal of wealth that its workers can recognize, and the color of skin is an effective one.  You can’t (at a reasonable cost) check everybody’s tax records on entrance, but you can see if they are a foreigner (probably a rich tourist) or Thai (probably less rich).  So that is what they do.\r\nNote private firms do it all the time as well, but they are much more subtle about it – since most people viscerally don’t like price discrimination, firms disguise it.  The Thai govt. would be doing itself a world of favors if it accepted work permits as a reason to charge the Thai rate, since I doubt the extra revenue is worth the ill-will, but the Thai govt. instead acts like an indifferent monopolist because, well, they are an indifferent monopolist.  \r\n\r\nOne final note.  When dealing with an excludable public good like this, if you can’t dual price, often the only economically viable way to make it pay for itself is to charge the higher price – which would effectively deny it to many poor Thai. \r\n',1,'171.96.171.112',1,'2015-12-03 12:09:55','2015-12-03 12:43:46'),(4970,30476,'Charlie','fresno1996@yahoo.com','Khon Kaen','Like anything in life, it pays to pick your battles.

I have learned to speak Thai because it seemed the right thing to do, but is really not neccessary, as almost everyone has near perfect English. How many times was I told by Thai people whilst learning Thai that there was really no need to do it, because it is a difficult language to learn and everyone speaks English anyway. Yes, I have occasionally met a few people with little English, but it is not the norm. I have never been in any other country where people have such diverse language skills. Many foreign people think I am a bit of an \" odd ball\" because I speak to Thai people in Thai. The last time I was in Isaan, Udon Thani, I did not meet one single person who was not fluent in spoken English. In tourist areas, many Thais also have fluent German and some, Swedish. Try going to Indonesia, and you will find a majority of people with virtually no English, not Thailand. I speak Thai to Thai people because it is a quaint thing to do, not through neccessity. All the people who complain about poor English in Thailand, I am baffled by this. Their main difficulty, if any at all, is occasionally writting a word in the singular where it would be more correct in the plural, e.g\" fish and chip\".

I have never seen a job advertised in Thailand to teach students programming - other than my last one. Since that school closed, I have barely seen a job advertised to teach ICT. What\'s going on? Are schools getting English teachers to double-job at something they\'re not qualified to do? \r\n\r\nAs Carl Sagan said, we live in a technological world where nobody understands technology, and this is becoming more true with every passing year.  With a rising population and ever-increasing reliance on computers, just who do we think will be programming the increasing number of apps required in the future? There certainly IS a need for people who are not programmers by trade to be able to program. Previously it was only computer specialists who were able to use computers ... now everyone is expected to be able to use computers. No longer are programmers the only ones who can create websites, the software has long existed to help non-specialists do so.  Although not everyone will be expected to be a programmer, there will be a section of society who will have to pick up the ball and run with it.\r\n\r\nThailand, I fear - using the English language model as a reference - will be last to the table again.

Some are correct but some are outright shallow. I am a Thai, born and bred, and I have had some Eng-teaching experience. I used to be an IP lawyer, then quit to become a law professor; I am now teaching in Phisanulok but currently on a sabbatical leave. I developed a course called \"English for lawyers\" to teach law students practical English for professional purposes (for a legal profession). As for my language background, I speak rather good English, I have an intermediate command of French, basic Chinese, and have taught myself ancient Greek.  Here are my observations and criticisms:\n\n1. I think most Thai have a working knowledge of English. The ability to use English among Thai population is known to be better than in Japan or China. Thailand is a very popular tourist destination, it is not a secret that people here use English well in their professional lives.\n\n2. I never had any problem creating motivation for my students. As a Thai, I know that mastery of a foreign language requires that 95% of the work be done outside of the classroom. So, my foremost goal has always been to create motivation and love of learning English. \n\nI have a realistic expectation and always tell my student that they will not walk away from the course being able to use proficient legal English as a professional. And improving English will be their life-long project. \n\nBy \"motivation\" I do not mean presenting a language as a \"tool,\" that is how the anglo-saxon think about language. For me languages are portals to other cultures. I motivate students partly by introducing them to a small body of English literature, something their schools never did. Teaching them songs, poems by William Blake or Lord Tennyson. I taught them how to read English blank verse which is the gate to Shakespeare, and give them something to memorize. \n\nThis may appear somewhat high-brow but it proved fresh to students who had spent a life time learning grammar; most of them like my materials. \n\n3. I attempt to explain grammar and vocabs as logically as possible. My knowledge of classical language (Greek) and French allow me to explain tenses better than contemporary textbooks.  Students are always interested in etymology and your French or Latin can help. \n\nMaking language appear logical is one of the best way to draw enthusiasm from students. The law students I taught were not linguistically brilliant. Most law students are those who hate both English and math; it is actually a common knowledge that people who come into the legal profession don\'t have many aptitudes. (this is pretty true in the U.S. too) But if you present your subject interesting enough, they will learn.   \n\n4. Yes. Thailand\'s English language education is obsolete, inefficient and time-wasting. It is that bad. In my generation, we all went to public schools. But Thai upper-middle classes are now sending their kids to international schools. \n\nUnfortunately, the upper class of the future will be those who speak bilingual but having no profound grasp of either language. I think it is sad that the elite are giving up on the state\'s education system and choose the path that will produce future elite who will treat languages as tools rather than culturally important assets. \n\nWill the country ever produce quality literature when the better-educated don\'t even know enough Thai anymore? We will see.   \n\n5. Most farang teachers don\'t have background in languages, not even as a student. They come from all walks of life and come to Thailand to pick up language-teaching jobs. \n\nThai always appreciate native speakers. But language teachers should be adequately passionate about language and be able to transmit the desire to learn to students. Most of you don\'t even know another European language and may not have any interest in literature. \n\n6. It is true that Thais are quite lazy. But they are not stupid. \n\nThais are 40% of Chinese ethnicity, they are genetically pretty smart. Thai culture is a bit like France - that is pretty laid back. \n\nThe whole state is bureaucracy, most people dream of civil-servant jobs that employ you for life. Thai bureaucratic  system is like a socialist state with in a capitalist state. So it is not one of your corporate-driven societies. \n\nFor Thai kids, English is just another subject like math or chemistry. They are chores that kids have to put up with until the final exam. My point is that, to stimulate them to learn English, you have to present English as, not only professionally, but also culturally important to them. I believe that teachers should have some knowledge about local cultures to make connection with students. \n\nI doubt most farang teachers know much about Thai culture. Thais are both conservative and nationalistic (think about a country where 80% are the GOP Republicans). Thus, they\'d super appreciate foreign folk who learn their culture or languages. But Thais know more about the world than you think they do. \n\nMaybe it\'s you who know too little about the place in which you are working',1,'69.243.26.212',1,'2016-01-28 06:53:59','2016-01-28 08:15:52'),(5079,11825,'James Hutchins','James_L_Hutchins@yahoo.com','Korat, Thailand','Methaya,\nWell written, concise and logical.

I noticed that students in Thai universities wouldn\'t sign up of an English class if it is labeled \"English ###.\" But people are suckers for \"English for Business\" or \"English for Lawyers\" especially if at the end of the course certificates are handed out. I think it shows that Thai are as motivated to improve themselves as any other folk.

EOY bonuses, pay rises post probation... guaranteed loser for you.\n\nLocation: avoid bullshit places, places you might go to have fun. You\'ve come to work, do just that.  Bangkok is it. If you can\'t hack it, try Seoul Korea.  The money is already shit, no need to work for free.\n\nAnother thing per location, the farther you get outside BKK theore likely some nonsense can develop with your pay, visa, WP, etc. Also wages are ridiculous.\n\nLocation local: map out where you are living and calculate your daily transport costs. Money is so stupid here, there is no allowance for an extra 20b here or there. Your costs to from work for a job at a bare minimum of 35k is 100b per day and one hour one way.\n\nFocus on the money exclusively the rest is just pussy shit. Next, classes and class size. What grades and levels! Next, holidays. Prestige, will this school help you get a better job? Finally, not ez to ascertain, but are the foreigners there competent or just flotsam? It\'s the farang that will make your life miserable faster than anything. That and a bs agency.\n\nAt the end of the day, you are left trusting people and in this biz, that rarely works out well.\n\nCome well capitalized with degree in hand. Have a list of the top 100 schools in bkk. Have your resume sorted and a generic cover letter. Apply to total shit jobs, go interview and demo, waste their time on jobs you shod never take. You\'ll learn the process and see schools and all the blemishes. Interviewing is costly though.\n\nBear in mind you get two teaching waivers, two schools, four years unless you\'re special.

If you do spend 2000 Baht on a Friday and Saturday night heading out the latest and best clubs in Bangkok, you might be ok. But how many young so called teachers want to do that.

Transport in Bangkok is a nightmare on the best days. Hopefully you stay close to school. Normally public transport is not an option unless BTS and MRT.

Nobody who is truly qualified will stay on such a track for very long, which is why there is the turnover here.   35000 bht  =  1000  USD, roughly,  which is what u make in ONE WEEK in America, at any HS i can think of.   \r\nSo if u are willing to spend around 2000 USD for a good TESOL course, or a little more for an MA-TESOL, then u can  slide on over to Hong Kong or Taiwan or ROK and actually make enough to live a little, even save some.\r\nBut if u jet on in to Thailand on a TEFL and think u can make any more than the bare living wage  ( Thai living wage ), u are in for a shocker.\r\nCome here for the culture and beaches, etc,  and come with huge cash in hand,  and u will be happy.

Over the years I have deleted the ajarn notifications, as I really can\'t be bothered with all the nonsense from pompous & pretentious, so called teachers. \nI finally had the time and inclination today to have a look at how it had progressed. I see not much has changed, never expected it to really!\n \nAnyhoo, distressingly I made the choice to leave my gorgeous wife and child, who is now over 7yrs old, she speaks fluent Thai (obviously), English and is learning Latin American Spanish, as we are finally, and gladly getting the hell out of Thailand, once and for all. \nI only taught in Thailand so that I could stay with my wife of 13yrs and our incredible child.  \nI have been working in the Mid-East for the past 2+yrs paying off the crippling debts that have built up due to me working for the slave-like wages paid by the Thai government! \nThese have apparently remained unchanged for the past 19yrs, certainly for the past 13-15 that I know of!\nI am a very dedicated person and I still help my students that are in their early and mid-twenties at uni\', and many even call me Dad / Father.\nWhich, to be honest is a fantastic feeling....So, I am not a fly by night teacher, as many are accused of being in Thailand. \nI care deeply about my students lives & learning capabilities, and really try to remedy any problems they have. \nEven here in the Land of Sand (from one l.o.s to the other!) I have a huge respect from the students / naval cadets & commanders. \nOther highly qualified teachers with masters degrees, and even one with a PhD don\'t get the results that I consistently get from all the different levels of students...It has become a running joke here by the commanders and other teachers. We get along very well, by the way. Simply because we are all adult enough to appreciate each others techniques and are constantly growing together. \n\nSo, to other so called \'unqualified teachers\' out there, I have this to say...If you find a niche in which you can use your love of people, compassion, empathy and all the other human traits needed in life, then, I am sure that you can be a teacher that really makes a difference to peoples lives, regardless of age. Don\'t be a pretentious, I know better than you type person. One thing I tell my students across the board is \"don\'t call me teacher, my name is Simon. You are also a teacher, I couldn\'t speak Thai and I can\'t speak Arabic...So you can teach me too. I am just here to teach you English and thus learn from you too\". That seems to bring a massive change in their minds from the very start. \nI must admit that I don\'t teach little kids...As I\'ve had one of my own for 13yrs!!! (My wife!)...My daughter of 7, thinks in a far more adult way than the majority of Thais I have ever met, Lulz...Enjoy what you do, make it relevant to the students lives as much as possible, and make learning fun...I never play games in class by the way....but my classes are always fun, as I am like a stand up comic for some, to a lot of the time! \n\nI teach using reality!! Forcing the students to look at what is really happening in the world, food, environment and in their own country, then joke about it. As it really is a joke after all...IMHO \"teaching in itself is a subversive act\".\nTo the academic snobs out there, I have a degree in English with upper 2nd class honours. However, I did that some yrs back, my final year was mainly to do with progressive writers and politics of the 20th century...I spent that year reading & writing about Chomsky, Klein, Zinn and other greats...I\'m also a child of the internet. You may have guessed that from some of the terminology I used!\nTo sum up,(you can tell I have far too much time on my hands in the mid-east) Thailand is a wonderful place to teach, the kids are great. Sadly, the administration / government has no clue at ALL, and most Thai teachers don\'t care and can\'t even finish a sentence correctly, as most of you well know. \nDon\'t even get me started on the O-Net etc...I spent far too many years videoing and copying the tests and answers to even bother debating how incredibly bad they are...Pfffttt....\n\nPrior, preparation and planning, prevents piss poor performance!\n\nEnjoy working in Thailand...Personally though, if I were you I would consider the Mid-East, as I have been treated very well, the people are just as friendly, the wages are superb...Just get in quickly before it all goes off...\nHey, aren\'t we also in it for the money, like another poster rightly said...\nI love teaching, but I won\'t be treated or paid like a Burmese migrant by the Thais, and my daughter will never be in their subservient 1984 style system either! \n\nAll the best and get rid of those rose tinted glasses, they\'re ruining your eyes!

Having a conversation with someone who only replies with stickers of YaYa or a cat with speech bubbles puts me off.  Maybe if you set some ground rules it could work for you. \r\n\r\nI\'m sure many schools will put in your contract that you are to have no contact with students out of school too which is something to be aware of.

I had worked at a school like Guy where I developed a system that all homework and opinions of assignments were sent to me by email.  Never was it used to advise students of due dates. it is up to the student to show responsibility for themselves. This part of the learning experience.\n\nYou are using the standards based system we are all working under. Students should be able to sent you work before the due date and you give opinions on whether the standards have been met. You do not give them the answers but suggest further explanation of some points. This cannot be done using line.  If you want students to hand in work on time fail those that do not. See how quickly it turns around.\n\nThe App line is not the best choice. I would hope that students are offering opinions based on what has been learnt with you or studied privately with others. Line cannot offer this. Email and Facebook can. I do not use facebook so using email and cloud based systems are much more appropriate.  Checking work does not need an instant reply and if it does your students are craming at the last minute.\n\nOn a brighter note I wish i worked with someone like yourself who is actually interested in teaching. The psychology of students, at all ages, and the parents expectations are very interesting and varied. How you achieve the results are different for all teachers. This is why a good teacher cannot be measured.  \n\nHave fun\n\nMark ',0,'223.204.240.7',1,'2016-03-23 00:49:27','2016-03-23 01:09:00'),(5165,30739,'Dan','littlebabyjamestaylor@yahoo.com','Ubon Ratchathani','In my experience, you will only lower your respect and professionalism in the eyes of your students and co-workers  by doing this.

Use a village or suburb as a base and when things get you down, go on a little holiday somewhere. We\'ve all got cousins everywhere in Thailand. I hate the summer so for 3 months me and the wife will be going back to the old country. Old mate over the back built a 2 m fence around his place and hardly speaks to a Thai, only the missus and the out-laws. I hear him watching his 200 cable channels over the back fence.  Another westerner has had enough of Thailand and as a result of the lack of opportunity for his kids he has made the decision to move back home after 13 years. The village chief probably won\'t give him a send off or present even though his kids spend 100 B a day at the local shop. Bitch. Another mate is building a pool and gym in the backyard!

I have, therefore, combed the Internet for information about teaching credentials, certification, experience, and global attitudes towards people like me. And I am grateful for having found this website--and in particular, for Mary\'s frank admissions above.\r\n\r\nPlease allow me to share some background. I attended an Ivy League college on full scholarship due in part to my standardized exam scores and an international project I was fortunate to conceive of and bring to fruition. After college I taught ESL in the States, earning universal accolades from students and state administrators alike. Later, I completed a doctoral degree, and subsequently another, distally related graduate degree, all at Ivy League schools. All in the sciences. (It is a myth that STEM degrees circumvent under- and unemployment. Recent studies show there is an overabundance of PhDs in the sciences, and separately, that even a Harvard degree conferred on black graduates does not overcome racism in hiring here in the USA). I had played the educational game, yet had very little to show for it. Over a period of nearly twenty years, whenever I\'d submit my resume for a post I\'d get an enthusiastic reply immediately. Inevitably, however, recruiters and hiring managers would, once they\'d overcome their awkward shock on meeting me, invariably dismiss me. \"Over-qualified,\" or some such euphemism, was the favored phrase. Meanwhile, I languished in the world of underemployment until I hit my 40s, and then couldn\'t even get an interview for positions requiring only a high school diploma. Yes, I removed the graduate degrees from my resume. Then I removed the college degree. I had become, in my own country, a pariah. \r\n\r\nAnd so I thought to become certified to teach ESL and go abroad, perhaps saving enough to find a way to survive the next twenty years. I am healthy and possessed of all my mental faculties, and very much wish to work and contribute to my communities. I sent out dozens of inquiries to certification companies. Those who got back to me largely told me I would find it difficult to be employed due to my age (again, I\'m in my forties).  I daren\'t confess to them that I\'m also black. The few who thought my age wouldn\'t be a problem--again, they didn\'t know I\'m black--were salivating over the chance to process my credit card for nearly $3000 for their certification courses. I always hesitated because I\'d read over and over and over again from black instructors teaching overseas just what a struggle it had been. Yes, some were optimistic. One of the reasons I found Mary\'s comment above so provocative was this:  \"When I was younger, I was somehow able to transcend the racist attitudes, mostly by pretending that none of it existed.\" Harvard Medical School researchers have confirmed her personal admission. Many who experience racism deny it. It appears it\'s a psychological defense mechanism. Yet that defense doesn\'t obviate the pernicious physiological effects of chronic racism. So I took the optimistic (the minority) perspectives of other blacks teaching abroad with the proverbial grain of salt.\r\n\r\nEvery ad I come across for posts outside the USA--posts I am objectively eminently qualified for--requests a photo. So, despite my frustration, I recently looked up professional photographers near me to consider parting with over $1000 for photographs--how it shames me to admit it--that in ways I cannot conceive of minimize whatever others might find offensive about my \"blackness,\" so that I can get a job outside the USA. So that I can survive. Multiple Ivy League degrees and fifteen years of experience haven\'t allowed me to survive well in the USA. I thought a CELTA--and have even thought about pursuing an online MA TESOL with licensure in the US so I could apply for the most competitive posts--would bring me a moderately paying job outside the USA. But it seems there is no country that welcomes humans of my phenotype. I long to learn that I am wrong.\r\n\r\nMary finished her comment above with, \"Now, I feel that any job will do, as long as it pays the bills. I have none of the zest and positive sense of the future as I once had. I\'m simply a part of this debtor nation, another cog in the wheel of commerce.\" I couldn\'t have written it better myself. Thankfully, I can remain anonymous here, because as I discovered during a faculty dinner after having been offered a post at an Ivy League medical school, honesty about race relations in the USA is utterly unwelcome. Asked by the wife of that school\'s president why I felt it was so challenging recruiting \"qualified\" minorities, I answered frankly but diplomatically that, as one of that school’s own faculty was famous for having published and teaching, cultural experiences at traditionally socioeconomically and racially homogeneous universities could be for minorities sufficiently painful to eclipse the professional potential an Ivy League education might garner. The next day my invitation to join that school\'s faculty was rescinded. And that experience would become the norm for my professional academic life. Be silent, I learned. Do not give your opinion--and most certainly do not honestly share your experiences.\r\n\r\nI\'m sorry for the long, long comment. But my frustration is at its zenith. I am fearing for my own survival since I cannot procure employment, despite my accomplishments--neither within my country, nor without. I would go anywhere—even places that might be unsafe for Americans, because I am dying here in the USA without work. I am convinced the single greatest determinant of my consistent life experience, in this regard, is the simple fact that I happen to have drawn the African-genes card at birth. A young Jewish student who\'d become a close acquaintance after having taken several of my classes at a university where I was teaching once remarked, \"God help you if you\'re a black man in the United States.\" Apparently, he could have ended that sentence four words earlier without changing its truthfulness.',1,'63.142.66.75',1,'2016-04-18 01:19:12','2016-04-18 04:44:41'),(5206,30476,'Tyson Jones','symphoniline@yahoo.com','BKK','Looks like Mark Newman is an apologist for Thai ways. \n\nAnyway, dual pricing is morally wrong and according to some experts on Thai law, even illegal. However, as with a lot of things in Thailand I question the apparent illegality of it, given how widespread it is I doubt it\'s illegal at all.\n\nNow when it comes to dual pricing, we need to distinguish between opportunistic greed (like when a taxi driver refuses to turn on his meter or a tuk-tuk driver tries to charge a huge amount) and institutionalized dual pricing at tourist attractions. It is easy to avoid the former - either catch a different taxi, rent a car, catch a bus, walk whatever, there are always alternatives. However, when it comes to a temple, museum, national park etc. trying to charge a foreigner more, there are two prices only: one Thai and one foreign. Occasionally a foreigner can get the Thai price by speaking Thai, arriving with a Thai spouse or friend, showing a Thai driver\'s licence, work permit, tax ID card or similar, but these don\'t always work. \n\nThe very premise of dual pricing however is that it tries to create a feeling of \"us vs. them\" by making assumptions about a foreigners perceived wealth. It is one thing if one time tourists are affected as they can just decide never to come back to Thailand and many do vote with their feet and their wallets. However, apart from avoiding all dual pricing attractions in Thailand, it is not as easy for resident expats to do the same, as they may be faced with this issue on a regular basis. \n\nPersonally I have no problems with bargaining, though on a day to day basis I only engage in that part of the economy that has fixed prices. For example, I drive my own car, fill up my tank at a petrol (gas) station, which obviously has fixed prices, get my car serviced at the dealership, I eat at chain restaurants (or independent restaurants with air-con), shop at supermarkets and hypermarkets etc. just like I would do in the west. Not only because this eliminates the possibility of dual pricing but these types of businesses offer better quality food, produce and goods and I know whether I\'m getting value for money or not. Also, it\'s easier to find what I\'m looking for. Yes I know foreign imported goods are often way overpriced, but there is often little way around that except for the occasional trip to Cambodia to bring in a few bottles of cheap wine. The Thai alternative is poor quality rubbish, so there\'s little choice but to pay these prices. \n\nI don\'t visit markets, street food stalls etc. unless I\'m on holiday and that would entail being outside of Bangkok or more likely even, when I travel to Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam/Myanmar etc. countries which have fewer supermarkets/hypermarkets etc.\n\nWhy don\'t I visit markets etc. (except for very occasionally Chatuchak)? Because 1) it\'s hot 2) the quality is poor and unless I\'m looking for a souvenir I won\'t find anything interesting 3) the food at wet markets is often of questionable quality - food and veggies may have been tainted with formaline whereas at supermarkets it\'s safe too eat, while at food stalls it\'s too hot to eat outside plus the food doesn\'t taste good, nor is it fresh in many cases. I am worried about getting sick. I\'d much rather enjoy a delicious steak from Sizzler, along with some salad, which is much healthier than the MSG and sugar laden crap you get on the street. I can also pay by credit card as I don\'t always carry enough cash with me.

Not everyone is good with or interested in working at the M1-3 level. In the same manner, not everyone will like the adults level either.\r\n\r\nEach group will have their own unique challenges.  I am at the university 1 (first year) level and I find that my students still have some traits of M5-6 behaviors, but are also starting to show much more \"adult\" thinking, logic and planning skills.\r\n\r\nHave I taught M1-3?  Yes, but only on an impromptu \"fill in\" basis.  I look at M1-3\'s and see myself at that age.  While this does not say I condone \"bad\" behavior, I recognize that it is largely is a part of the maturation process - so I try to go with it if you will, and less about fighting it.  I don\'t condone throwing things and that kind of thing, and agree that discipline at that level will be a larger part of the total teaching experience.    However, what I do is try to keep them engaged, interested and use what\'s relevant and material in their stage of everyday life.  \r\n\r\nAdults, even my university 1 students, I find personally the difficulty is that there is a \'wall\' between you, as a teacher, and them, as students.  Meaning that at times, I don\'t get a real answer. I get the answer they think I want to hear.  By contrast, I\'ve found that M1-3\'s don\'t have that same kind of feeling - they just say what they\'re thinking without the use of a \"socially accepted filter\" first.\r\n\r\nMark made an interesting comment about \"rewarding\" and I think that a part too.

You have a card and can use it.  You also get all the privileges/discounts as well.  Plus, you get to bypass all the hassels of applying.   The only thing it doesn\'t do is report on YOUR credit file.  Now, if you (or the primary account holder) doesn\'t pay the bill, for the most part, you\'re off the hook (but some card agreements do stipulate that the bank can come after you too, so I\'d read your account rules first) but on the other hand, if the bill is consistently paid over time, you as an individual don\'t get any \"credit\" for that either.  This is somewhat different than happens in the US where payment history gets reported to the primary and secondary holders.  This might change in the future here in Thailand, but as I know it, at present, you don\'t get any of the negative consequences of a late payment, nor positives of a consistently paid account either.  \nTo me, IF your goal is a long-term stay here (as an individual or formally married couple), this might be something that you\'d want to develop.  But I do totally agree that from a purely access point, having a Thai person be the primary applicant and you as a secondary card holder works wonders!\n\nSam,  you bet!  Just like teaching here, patience is a key!  If you\'re a \"rush it\" or \"wing it\" kind of person, you\'re likely to be consistently denied and upset.  I also totally agree that the overall process and how banks go about it, could be streamlined and still not loose any of the necessary lending safeguards. Just as a reference, I spent maybe five to as much as 10 hours compiling and copying my documents and then double, triple and even quadruple checking them for completeness and accuracy.  In the US, that would be a 5-minute online process.  It really should be more user-friendly and there really isn\'t (or shouldn\'t be) a need for repetitive document requests if it was done right the first time.\n\nI keep all my US-issued cards too, and if you ask me to compare Thai-issued versus, US-issued cards in totality, I\'d have to say almost all US-cards are better.  However, I think there\'s some issues that make this comparison hard.  First is the US credit card market is much more developed. Like I suspect it is in Europe, in the US, there pretty much is a specific card to fit different applicant specifics.  As example, those with less than great credit can apply for cards that come with higher annual fees and interest rates.  Those with better credit can apply for cards with correspondingly lower (or no) annual fee and much lower APRs.  There are rewards-type cards for tons of different things; airline tickets, car purchase, hotel stays, cash bank, etc..  You name it.   Overall, you don\'t (yet) see this depth of card selection and options.\n\nThe other thing that impacts this is what I\'d call the regulatory environment.  Since the US has well established rules about credit reporting (like FCRA) as well as laws related to loss/fraud, that means banks can make a better overall lending assessment, and tied to my earlier point, they can then customized different products to fit different applicant demographics.  In Thailand, due to it\'s stage  of development, it tends to be more one, two or maybe three-sizes fits all cards/offerings.\nGlad you enjoyed reading.',1,'24.17.215.34',1,'2016-05-03 04:06:55','2016-05-03 04:21:31'),(5222,30831,'Jan Schauseil','janchangtha@lycos.com','Chiang Mai','There\'s a much easier way.

Many banks have programs like that. However, what that really is, is a secured card; not a true unsecured card. (and the topic here)  While I agree that from a daily use perspective, they\'re identical, a secured cards credit limit tends to be lower and pegged to your deposit, whereas with a true unsecured card, your initial credit line tends to be set at 3x to 4x your monthly salary.  Assuming that\'s only in the B50,000 range, your limit will be in the B150,000+ range.  \r\n\r\nIf you\'re just looking to charge small day-to-day purchases, you could probably manage with a B30,000 type credit line.

I too felt (but of course is never formally confirmed) that the single biggest factor in the decision making process was your PROVEN income.  \r\nThe reason I note \"proven\" is that all the banks took a very... shall I say, apprehensive.. approach to salary that wasn\'t really documented as being from an employment situation.  Largely because you could just \"recycle\" cash monthly to give the outward appearance of it being a new monthly salary each time.\r\nI asked BBL about the use of the SAL code and was told that the account the money is transferred from must be set up and verified by BLL as employment/company and a \"regular\" person can\'t just come in to a branch, make a cash deposit - say B50,000 - and ask or have the bank apply the SAL code, versus the more traditional NBD cash deposit.\r\nI am a bit surprised as to your initial credit limits as mine were exactly 3x or 4x monthly salary; but I suspect that will vary based on the banks current credit lending position and probably what income you had at that time.\r\nThe part about verifying your salary, employment, etc. is the exact same with me. It was a mandatory part. I too got phone calls to confirm some minor details.  That part of the process I found odd, because the information I was asked to confirm was all information that the bank had originals of -- tax ID number /tax ID card, etc.  So, to me, the value or objective in calling me, I found to be odd -- but it was just a short two minute call itself.\r\nI also noted that you really couldn\'t apply if you were new (say, one year or less) at your present job, as most all of them required that have held your current work permit/job, for a full year, or more, before applying and that the current permit be at least valid for another three to six months from date of application. Therefore, it sounds to me like your first real window of opportunity for someone starts at about 12-18 months or so remembering that your permit must still be valid for another 3 to 6 months from the time of application too.

Cost of living here vs. salary is laughable, but after toughing it out for a year and scraping by I have managed to secure enough of a salary raise to make life more comfortable, though not nearly as comfortable as it was in Asia.\r\nRegarding the administrators/recruiters: I was once in an awkward \"joint\" interview with another job-seeker because the \"boss\" could not schedule worth a damn. The \"boss\" - who made sure we knew he was the \"boss\" - thought nothing of insulting me and all my countrymen right in front of the other candidate. His words were: \"I don\'t like to hire South Africans because you all come here (looking for jobs), but you don\'t really want to be here, and that makes you very difficult.\"\r\nNeedless to say I never replied back on his ridiculously low offer of selling my soul while working in his teaching sweatshop!\r\nWe\'re all just human, we all come from countries where the economy is in the trash, opportunities are non-existent, and the future looks very bleak. I am lucky though in that, personally, I just wanted to get out of a 10-year corporate rut and travel while making some kind of money on the side. I didn\'t Need to go look for work abroad. And everything worked out well enough for me in the end and the savings I accumulated allowed me to experience a lot and still return successfully.\r\nFor all those still out there because you have to be, I wish only the best of luck. If I can offer one piece of advice it\'s this: While you\'re there, look at online courses and educational certifications (Coursera is a good start), upskill yourself, learn new things - this will go a long way into helping you return to your homeland (if that\'s what you want). I regret the amount of free time I had in Asia that I could have used to earn a few extra good qualifications in my area of expertise but instead was wasted with way too much beer! :D',1,'197.89.195.247',1,'2016-05-09 07:37:19','2016-05-09 09:26:44'),(5232,30831,'Luu Mak','luumak@mailinatorm.com','Bangkok','Pish.

Don\'t know why everyone seems to think it\'s such a feat.\"\r\n\r\n==> It\'s not a feat. Getting a **secured** card really is a different and far easier task.  No real credit checks, income required and even documentation.    Not intended as a derogatory slam on you -- but given that this option is essentially an asset-test, there\'s not a whole lot of \"feat\" required.\r\n\r\nSo, yes, as noted in an earlier comment, that IS an option - and maybe the best/only option for some.  However, what I also noted is that for a secured card one does have to come up with that deposit -- be that B40,000+ or whatever. Be able and willing to have it locked up and encumbered while the card account is open and be limited in the credit line (as most are pegged at or close to the deposit value) \r\n\r\nWithout getting into a tit-for-tat, your idea and the earlier comment substantially the same, do represent one option -- but there are some structural differences. Chiefly they are ; a) the need to \"lock up\" XX,XXX baht in funds in the long term and if you\'re using a secondary card, b) the lack of credit file reporting for good/timely account management.   \r\n\r\nI know some will say \"if you can\'t afford to deposit XX,XXX, then you shouldn\'t have a credit card\", and I\'d say \"pish\" to that. The card, if properly handled, is just a tool that one can use to manage and deal with their day-to-day short and long term financials.   So, the fact that you have or don\'t have XX,XXX funds or be willing or wanting to lock them up on a long term basis, is to me, not a related issue and doesn\'t then mean one applicant is more worthy or not.\r\n\r\nI\'ll come back to me. I could easily go the route you initially did \"... Why don\'t you all start with some MONNEE in the bank and see where it goes...\"  but that, for me, misses one of my goals. That being to start and improve my own credit score here in Thailand so that in the future I would be seen as an *individual* with a solid and proven track record of prolonged fiscal responsibility. \r\n\r\nI also note that the credit limits of secured cards tend to be pegged at the level of the associated deposit, while true UNsecured cards tend to be higher in the 2x, 3x or even 4x proven monthly income level.  That translates into lines of between maybe 100,000 or even 200,000+ (assuming a base B50,000/mo income) which for me, is an ideal line to support an emergency-use card.\r\n\r\nThe part about dress is one that I think anyone whose been here for any length of time can and will acknowledge.  True, no where on the application does it say \"Is the applicant dress neatly?\"  But let\'s not ignore what I suspect is real-world operating reality -- you are, to some level, dealt with, based in part, by how you present yourself. Be that physically, verbally or visually.\r\n\r\nSure, a person who is on paper a fully qualified candidate but dressed in beach shorts and torn t-shirt should be approved quite simply because their financials support it.  On the same point, someone who is impeccably dressed but falls materially short of the economic qualifications should be denied -- also again, because the financials don\'t support it.\r\n\r\nHowever, I\'m sure that most people will not argue or disagree that how you look, how you present yourself *may* influence the process and by extension, possibly the outcome.\r\n\r\nMaybe the banking officer takes a professionally dressed applicant more \'seriously\' and looks for any exceptions s/he can use to get you approved?  Maybe. I do agree that \"looks\" should not matter, however like it is with teaching and teachers, the reality is how you look and present yourself in professional settings can and usually does have some impact  - be that consciously so, or even unconsciously so.\r\n\r\nAgain, I appreciate your divergent viewpoint,',1,'182.232.111.97',1,'2016-05-11 03:03:46','2016-05-11 04:51:23'),(5237,30856,'Jack','Upphils@butt.com','in from of my computer','Mark\r\n\r\nYou just don\'t understand.

Yes it must be finished but it is only a book. If you can base your lessons around the curriculum. If you do not have a curriculum use the first page in the text book. It should be called the scope and sequence. It outlines what is being learnt. This is called backward design. You understand what the students need to know by the end of the lesson before you make your lesson plan. Remember a lesson is not a period. It could and should be many lessons.\n\nAn example and my personal favourite when teaching bored students in grades 4,5,6,7,8.\n\nBANGKOK IS SINKING. We are all going to die.  I write this on the board before the students arrive and normally act busy for the first 5 minutes of class so the kids get a chance to think about the sentence. I will not go into the whole lesson but the lesson meets the curriculum in science as part of understanding the water cycle and the nitrogen cycle. Due to ground water being removed from under Bangkok for drinking and household water the city is slowly sinking over time. You can go to a temple that during High tides is already under water. This is a good place to travel on the weekends and any photos can be used to help you in class. i cannot remember the name of the wat.\n\nFor the young kids.\n\nReading is so much fun to teach but never think of it as reading. You are teaching comprehension. No point reading something that you cannot understand the information being given in the text. The first thing my grade 2 kids read is the lyrics to the cartoons Ben 10 and Power puff girls. They need to read the lyrics and make a dance that explains the meaning of the lyrics. Huge fun. \n\nSo my point is this.  Remember the best teacher you had when you were at school. i bet they had something different to all the others. What was it? I bet it was not that they did book work all the time but probably made the curriculum relevant to you. IT was interesting and maybe a bit different.\n\nMy favourite teacher was my history teacher. i remember him walking into class. As we were reading through the text book about explorers exploring the mountain ranges west of Sydney, Australia. I remember him saying \" This is a load of Shit\". He than went on to explain that his hobby was bush walking (trekking Etc). He had recently walked through the area and new that the terrain was nothing like what was being read and could not possibly be true. He backed up this claim with a lesson the next week explaining the whole story. The geography of the area mixed with the local indigenous tribes and there actual abilities to take out a soldier with a musket using only a spear. (When you see  the puff of smoke from the musket run in a slightly different direction.)\n\nSo your knowledge will help you. Your travelling experiences will help you. If you go somewhere in Thailand and take a selfie please spend a bit of extra time and learn about the area. If you go to Ayuthaya historical city. Take a photo of the buddha head in the tree. Show that photo to your grade 5,6,7,8 kids and ask them to explain it. How and why did it happen. Let the kids speak. Let them write using a pencil or creating a power point display. Now bring the grammar being learnt into the lesson and have the students repair their sentences.\n\nYes the text book has to be finished but it is not the lesson. It is a resource that can be finished for homework. So you now have no prep when setting homework.\n\nMake it interesting, create, create and create a bit more. \n\nYou are on a working holiday so combine them. Go see and do and use what you learn to make a connection with your students but remember that you are their teacher not their friend. You are looking for respect from the students and respect needs to be earned. \n\nHave fun\n\n',0,'223.204.242.225',1,'2016-05-14 00:24:06','2016-05-14 00:33:17'),(5243,30831,'Michael','gopbi9665@gmail.com','Bangkok','Nigel,  glad you liked the article and congrats on getting a card!\r\n\r\nI very much agree that B50,000 seems to be the magical line for income.  I have also heard and know of a few others who are like you - proven income of a bit less than B50,000 per month, but we\'re still approved for a Krungsri/FC card.    I remember reading not long ago in a local news print that First Choice was seeking to expand their credit card portfolio, so I suspect that this (if in fact correct) maybe in part why those who are close, but perhaps a bit below the 50,000 income range, may be approved versus denied.\r\n\r\nI know a fair number of teachers - who work at traditional government schools - and earn less than B50,000 - perhaps B30,000 or even B40,000  a month from that work (which is covered by a legitimate work permit) but, when you add in their private tutoring and other odd jobs they have, that then puts their total monthly gross over B50,000.     However, what I have found is that most of the banks I went to, won\'t/don\'t consider any income unless it\'s from a job which you hold work permit for.  A few said they may consider it with respect to a higher credit line, but none said that I could use is as a means to meet the minimum (i.e. B50,000) income threshold for initial approval.\r\n\r\nThe other thing that I have heard from several banks is that once you get a card - any Thai card, and assuming you manage it correctly (ie pay the bill on time) over time, that this will then reflect favorably on your credit report (with NCB) and your credit report is becoming increasingly an important part of the overall credit/risk analysis formula banks use.  \r\n\r\nSo, in theory if you get, and successfully mange one card, this should be a solid asset for you if/when you apply for something else and make the approval odds better for the future application.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the card, use it responsibly and I\'m sure you\'ll get a pretty good deal from it.  I recall its a no annual fee card, so unless you carry a balance, you should be able to take advantage of some decent promotions that are featured with Krungsri and/or Krungsri/FC cards.',1,'182.232.33.217',1,'2016-05-14 11:39:36','2016-05-14 12:22:48'),(5244,30853,'AHuston','wess_hus@yahoo.com','Phnom Penh','This is the best article I\'ve seen written about the \"real world\" of ESL teaching in Asia over the 10 years I\'ve been over here.

If you really do care about education and want to make a difference, then well....become a qualified teacher!  Nobody should expect to be hired as a doctor without going to medical school, likewise nobody should expect to obtain a serious teaching position without proper certification.  \r\n\r\nThen once you do get certified, you can work for an international school or bilingual school where you are taken seriously as a teacher, and your results do matter.  The parents at these schools are paying ridiculous sums of money to ensure their kids become proficient in English, and they expect results.  Your students will sit standardized exams (ex. IGCSE) and your HOD and school director will expect results.   You will have reasonable class sizes, decent resources.  Not only will you have the opportunity to shine as a teacher, you will be expected to do so.  Sure, that means more work and more stress, but you will be making a difference (at least, for the kids who can afford your school\'s fees).\r\n\r\nThai government schools are a great place to be for \"teachers\" who aren\'t qualified and don\'t care.  They just want to be in Thailand, live a stress-free life, and do a joke of a job for an okay wage.  And that\'s great for some people - those who would otherwise be working at McDonald\'s or stacking shelves in a warehouse in a Western country can come to Thailand, play the role of a foreign \"teacher\" and live a much better lifestyle with few professional expectations.\r\n\r\nBut if find yourself stuck in one of those jobs (most likely due to lack of teacher qualifications) and actually care about teaching, then well... do something about it!

Unfortunately I have realised that most of what I learnt at university was being institutionalised in a buraucracy.\n\nThe important parts i did learn about was pshycology in the classroom (Sorry i have never been the best at spelling) and how the current assessment systems are setting such a low level for completion. \n\nThe article above seems to say that you cannot help or change much and that is correct from the management point of view but you can help those students that want to be helped. i do not mean the star pupil. Most of them are just showing off. it is normally the ones that are doing really badly or not quite at the top. \n\nBy finishing the texts books quickly as only a third of your students can learn with textbooks. Move onto more interesting stuff. i had a kid last year that could not read or write to save himself but put on some music and get him  moving and suddenly he could read the lyrics while pulling off some interesting dance moves.\n\nA little girl that had an attitude problem. hated the world but very clever. Given free reign to write a story that would be made into a play. She got up on stage in Bangkok for a roleplay competition with three other friends just so she could say \" i was so scared I wet my pants\" in front of 3000 people. They won that competiton. The judges were farlang and got the joke. She was a different kid after that. She started beating the smug no it all in all the class tests.\n\nI can go on with other examples.\n\nEveryone wants attention. So many kids understand that the assessment is rigged and achieves nothing. Those that sit down, do the right thing and have wealthy parents will always win. We just have to look at the american presidential race to understand that.\n\nBreak out of this mono culture with are in. We have all started by coming to Thailand as now we do not have to work long hours to buy brand names we do not need. its really relaxing working in Thailand. But yes you can help. You are not trying to make these kids western kids. They want to find their own identity. Use you teaching to give them that chance. Stop using generic, put the answer in the box methods of teaching and rebuild the imagination we once had. \n\nHave fun and create, create, create\n\n ',0,'223.204.243.160',1,'2016-05-19 10:15:23','2016-05-19 10:43:22'),(5259,30890,'Jack','Upphils@butt.com','In front of my computer','Yeah, don\'t take yourself and the job so seriously, got it, but Mark went over the top in trying to make this point.

My wife and I are ~600k/month household (yes, 7.2M/year) and that seems barely adequate. Bangkok has become very expensive -- too expensive for even \"good\" local salaries (100k+).  We have Thai friends who work in lucrative industries (finance, etc) who are barely scraping by. My wife is Thai, senior management making more than all of her college friends (Chula alum), and we absolutely could not survive on her salary alone.\r\n\r\nI can\'t even imagine where you would have to live / what kind of food you would have to eat for 30k/month. You maybe could have done that 20 years ago but now the cheapest street food is more expensive and much lower in quality. Expect to have lots of stomach flu. Transport at that level is horrible. Expect countless hours in run down public buses with sad people. (The poor people in Thailand are no longer content.)\r\n\r\nFWIW, 30k isn\'t even a *legal* salary for a foreigner (non-domestic or construction worker). I think it\'s more like 50-60k. At that salary you\'re likely living illegally because you\'re abusing the foreign labor laws / visa restrictions. That also means you\'ll spend many weekends being driven to the border in a mini-van death trap. No fun at all. Also, illegal. Don\'t be stupid.\r\n\r\nIf you\'re not qualified to get a \"real\" teaching job because you don\'t have the credentials then don\'t teach. DO NOT TAKE A JOB IN BKK FOR 30K. Ever. It\'s a joke. You\'ll be a joke. You\'ll hate life. I\'ve seen it happen a lot. Most of the bohemian types I\'ve met over the years have left Bangkok or Thailand entirely.  The people you\'re teaching English to are too poorly educated / socially immobile to do anything with it. You\'re just making money for a handful of unethical business people.\r\n\r\nHaving said that, if you can find a real job (and preferably come with a partner who can also find a real job) and can afford to live in a foreigner-friendly part of a town and even a basic car, Bangkok has become a great place to live. The (middle / high end) food scene is crazy. It\'s not much of an outside city because of the heat, but beaches are a reasonable drive on the weekends. Plenty of indoor food / lifestyle places to hang out and drink some wine in. Lots of beautiful people at the upper end of society. Very interesting culture. Very active music and art scenes.

These are predominantly young people from wealthier backgrounds who have studied English at university as part of another course and have become proficient in using English in their jobs. These people are found in areas where tourists tend to stay. Jobs that deal with tourists require their staff to be somewhat proficient in English. But on the whole, English is not spoken widely, especially out in the provinces. The state school system does not seem to teach English effectively, concentrating on learning words by rote rather than comprehension of colloquial English sentances. \n\nThe best schools seem to be those that can immerse the students in English. I have had to learn Thai in order to be able to communicate effectively since the vast majority cannot understand spoken English and most people can only say a few words like \"Hello, how are you?\". Pronunciation of English poses a real challenge because Thai lacks certain sounds like th, sh, z and Thai words and syllables that end in certain consonants mutate to sound like p, t and k. The Thai word for shallow fry for instance is written like \'pad\' but is pronounced like \'pat\'. The letter d in all instances (there are several different sorts of letter d by the way) mutates to a t at the end of a word. So Thai people have difficulty pronouncing words and syllables ending in d, ch, th, s, sh, r amongst others.\n\nI think it is a question of confidence and also culture. You see, Thai people do not like to embarrass themseves because this is like losing face, an important feature of Thai (and Asian) culture. They would rather not say a word of English than risk making a mistake and embarassing themselves. Thai children do not seem to have the same motivation or eagerness to learn English compared with their peers in China for instance. It is frustrating to see the way that English is taught and the lack of emphasis on effective teaching methods. Perhaps this will improve over time, but for now Thailand is lagging behind in English.\n',1,'49.229.106.64',1,'2016-06-02 04:00:33','2016-06-02 04:32:15'),(5301,30910,'John','jbredmore@hotmail.com','Bangkok','Nigel, it\'s a nice article.

My own experience is that most Thais speak reasonable English and that their motivation to learn it and understanding the reasons why it is a good thing to do exist. By comparison, in Indonesia, typically every Indonesian you meet will ask when they meet you whether you speak Indonesian. Their expectation is that all foreigners should speak Indonesian ( and I don,t mean just those who live there long term ) their motivation to learn English is almost non existent. Nearly all will try to teach you words for things in Indonesian, by pointing at things. Almost none show any interest in you reciprocating by wanting you to  teach them words in English. You should know how to speak Indonesian and if you do not, it is your fault and tough luck. You can get a similar attitude in western countries. You speak Dutch? You speak Norwegian ? Etc. not in Thailand. There no one expects you to have learned Thai and if you meet someone with poor English skills, they usually are apologetic for not being able to converse well in English. I have spent around 1300 hours learning Thai and Isaan and am sometimes embarrassed at my lack of ability to follow people speaking in a conversation in Thai, although I can make myself understood. After learning for so long, I can possibly speak Thai to the level that a five year old can speak their own native language. After learning English for so many hours the proficiency of Thais to speak English is far greater. If I go into a hardware store, I only know the names for paint, paint brush, paint roller, hacksaw blade, wood screws and light bulbs after that I am lost. Sometimes I see Thai people get frustrated or laugh at my inability to ask for things or describe things with correct grammar in Thai, when they can do it with ease in English. I think the sentiments being expressed in this website are completely wrong.

All websites that describe Thailand say that correct behaviour is to keep calm in all circumstances and to never loose your temper. Thai people can be seen to very quickly loose their temper and to start shouting at someone in public, often over something that seems trivial. Other incorrect things said is that it is the \" land of smiles\" and that they are very friendly towards foreigners. If you go to the Phillipines or Indonesia, local people who see you on the street come up to you and are thrilled to speak to you, exchange pleasantries etc. in Thailand, if you walk down a street, or along a beach, local people will simply ignore you. If you go to somewhere where the intention is to extract money from you, then they are friendly, but only whilst the money extraction process is happening. I have met some Thai people who like to chat for no expected reward, but most expect payment simply to have conversation. In very few instances have I learned a little Thai from someone without being asked for money for it. In Loas, Cambodia, Indonesia or any other country, no one has ever asked me for money to teach me some phrases in their language. Thailand can be a great place if you go there as a novice tourist, (whom the Thais love ) to have a party, but many who stay a long time can become disillusioned. If you go there to have fun in bars, enjoy the company of girls for a fee, and enjoy the food and party atmosphere, it\'s a fantastic place. Can make the world famous Rio Carnival look lame by comparison. However, don\'t expect people to be as genuinely warm and friendly as other Asians when there is no profit to be made. Don\'t expect pristine untouched, quiet, undeveloped natural beautiful beaches like you get in other Asian countries. You can have a great time in Thailand if you accept it for what it is.

They are gone. They have been assimilated. They become me, and other sino-thais in the country who identify almost solely as Thais. Thailand perhaps has the greatest rate of assimilation of other ethnicity in the world. If Chinese go anywhere, they tend to remain with their Chinese identity. It\'s only here that  the Chinese disappear. That\'s pretty much what happened to Thais with Khmers and Laos ethnicity as well. If you know recent history, the British and French came over to divide the territory among themselves. Those boundaries did not create racial tension as they tend to do elsewhere (except perhaps for the South where religious extremism is involved).   \r\n\r\nThat being said, I meant to propose that Thais place utmost importance to their language and culture.

My boss at the law firm where I worked was also a Sikh (with a head band), but culturally he is Thai first -- he is even more Thai than I am (he speaks Esaan and is an avid collectors of buddhist amulets).

As a foreign teacher, I am NOT to punish students, so to say that thai and foreign teachers serve a similar purpose at the gate is far from the truth.

I have lived there for periods of 1 week to 3 months.  I go to Thailand so regularly that I bought a condo there.  Sounds great but most wouldn\'t like it.  I used to rent it for 1,500 THB a month and then the guy asked if I wanted to buy it and so I bought it.  It is a friendly place and I\'ve been living there on and off for 7-8 years.  The building is occupied by Thai people from teachers who earn 23,000 a month to labourers to the occasional working girl. There are  many ma and pa shops around and to be honest I quite like the place and get on well with the Thais there.  Recently a Farang has moved into the condo complex.  But for most of the time I was the only Farang in the village :-). If you live on 30,000 THB a month this is the sort of place you will probably live in.  In the west we would call it a slum.  No question about it; it is a slum. In the west I wouldn\'t in my wildest dreams live in such a place.  But it\'s cheap, especially now I own it. I often have meals with the family in the condo around the corner of the corridor. The husband earns 20,000 a month plus OT.  They don\'t put the AC on longer than 2 hours a day in summer and usually use a fan.  They eat food from the market and never go out.  This is how they get by on maybe 23,000 a month.  For a farang it would be very difficult to live on 30,000 a month even living in a slum like this.  I have tried to budget myself to 50,000 a month and failed.\r\nSo I would think to live on 30,000 a month you would have to not drink, not smoke and pretty much watch Thai TV in your room without AC when ever you\'re not working.\r\nIf anyone can seriously live on 30,000 a month I would love to catch up for a water or two and some som tum next time I\'m there in BKK.

I could write a book in response to this, but I am going to try to be brief. I was in similar shoes back in 2011-2012. I am a 31 year-old American who moved to Thailand in January 2009 after teaching English for a year in Korea. Four years later, at the tail end of 2012, I returned to the US. In between, I married a Thai women two years my junior who had one son from a brief, previous marriage.\n\nI am going to refer to some of the comments below this blog post to save time. At least one commentator said that Thailand works well for certain people. This is absolutely correct. If you are between the ages of 20 and 26 or 55 and older, or you were hired from abroad to work in an international school or multinational corporation/NGO/government, Thailand makes for a great country. Why? There are a host of reasons. For pensioners and the retired, insofar as they have a decent pension or savings account from which to draw, the culture promotes positive treatment of the elderly, the pace of life is slow, and money earned in the West tends to go a long way towards day-to-day essentials like food, water, basic clothes ( as long as the bigger items, like housing, are already paid for). For those working for government or multinationals, there are often bonuses like transportation stipends and free international school for dependents on top of the regular Western-sized salary. For the younger subset, $1000 per month in salary for teaching English is less than you\'d make at home in New York or (I am sure) London in teaching or almost any other field, but where in those cities can you rent a new studio near the downtown with a pool and small fitness center for ~$400 US per month? In NY, a studio runs at about ~$2000/month. Thus, for young people who don\'t have kids and want to live an urban lifestyle, eating at restaurants and drinking at bars, Bangkok is a great option. As long as you are content eating rice and noodles, watching censored and out-of-sequence seasons of Western TV shows, drinking Bia Chang or Singha, and swimming in the pool for the rest of your life (with the occasional trip to the beach or Chiang Mai to break up the monotony), then Thailand is for you. If you want to finance a car, travel internationally, send your children to a good school for free, take a nice walk to the park without being attacked by a gang of soi dogs, buy an expensive watch for less than three times what it costs in your home country,  and stop worrying about how much the latest changes to visa rules for foreign teachers is going to eat out of your annual savings, well, Thailand may not be for you.\n\nYou just bought a condo, and your girlfriend also owns one. This is a complication that makes your departure from the Kingdom more complicated. As others have noted, Brexit is probably making Thailand\'s visa/work permit problems seem less onerous. The British economy is obviously not performing very well, but, when I returned to the US in 2012, the US was not exactly in peak performance mode. In some ways, the economy has improved since then, but US governance and political functionality has not. I can\'t really speak to what it\'s like on the ground in the UK, but I can say moving back to the US was one of the smartest things I\'ve ever done. There are problems. It is much more expensive. It took a couple of years to get on a career track that I can be content with. We cannot afford to live in the \"Big City\". I miss the HELL out of Thai food and just the extraordinary food culture of Bangkok in general. Our housing is not as plush, especially given what we are now paying, as it was in Bangkok. On the plus side, I was able to finance a car and a Master\'s Degree. The car is half paid off and the Master\'s I am starting to pay off now. My wife and I, with combined US salaries, make almost three times what we did in Thailand (this took a couple of years of not working, then working in a crappy job, and then moving across country). My wife\'s visa costs for the US were a burden, but after four years of living in Thailand, she has probably spent about what I spent on visa runs, work permits, etc. and she has ten year, renewable, permanent residency status with no one looking over our shoulders. My wife has begun earning her Associate\'s Degree for free from the community college where we both work. Four years after moving to the US, my stepson speaks fluent English and is one of the better students in his class of 22 total kids. His strengths are not math, in line with Americans\' stereotypes of Asian students, but actually in languages. He is now learning Spanish.\n\nThis is not to pat myself on the back. I tell you this because it is very complicated to consider all the tradeoffs when moving back West. Just remember that many, many people will ask you about what your job plans are. They will ask you about how you plan to work with the Brexit fallout and all. They will warn you about how your professional experience in Thailand will be judged. They will tell you about such-and-such friend or story they read about how disastrous a move back was. They will tell you about stereotypes and mistreatment of foreigners. What is easy to forget is that Thailand has many, many of those problems as well. All the anxieties implicit in the questions you will hear, if you decide to pursue the move, help to make it clear why it is so hard to leave Thailand. No one will mention that you have to be patient, but that if you have decent skills and no criminal record, there are jobs to be had for hard-working, motivated people. The statistics do not help you to see these things. I personally found that I needed to be willing to move to where there are jobs in the US. It would have been foolish to have announced to myself that I am moving back to Manhattan! I had to move to New Mexico to find a decent job, and this has troubled my wife. She never wanted to leave the East Coast of the US (either FL, DC, NY, or Boston) and that has been a challenge, but the benefits of education have counterbalanced culture shock.  I now have the money, educational pedigree, and freedom to move back to Thailand or find work somewhere else in the US (more desirable). It was such a blast returning to Thailand to visit my wife\'s family this past Christmas for the simple reason that I didn\'t have to count every single baht every day to make sure I could survive the two weeks. Every vacation while I lived in Thailand felt like it had to be planned to the hilt to avoid running over budget. I now understand why the tourists all seem so happy in the Kingdom and the local expatriates are often hustling just to make the rent. One thing I think that stands out above all else as something you just can\'t do in Thailand is borrow a significant sum of money to finance personal development such that you can make more money in the future. The banking system in Thailand is a joke even for Thais. For foreigners, it\'s outright hostile sometimes. It was so nice to be able to apply for and quickly receive a loan to pay for my Master\'s Degree. I went $20,000 in debt to pay for something that will bring an immediate plus $3000/year return for me in my current job. I now have the degree I need to get myself a better were I ever to return to Thailand. The education and finance opportunities in the West alone are enough to return.\n\nIn short, if you are going into your 30\'s and feeling a little ambivalent, do consider the move. Do you want children in the future? If you do, I can tell you that education is a disaster in Thailand. When I told all the families of the students I worked with (after moving to Thailand in 2009, I quickly transitioned out of ESL teaching to college admissions consulting for international school kids in order to make more money) that I was leaving Thailand in 2012, I had one mom say, \"Why are you leaving? Do you not like Thailand?\" I told her that Thailand was great, but that I was concerned about education for my stepson. She immediately nodded her head in agreement and never said another word about it. If you think your girlfriend can handle the fact that you may have to live and work somewhere you didn\'t expect once you move, you will probably be OK. I don\'t know that the stereotypes of Thai people in the UK are more pronounced than they are in the US, though because of the distance, I imagine UK-ers are much more familiar with Thailand than most Americans. There have been some issues with my wife being treated as a foreigner. Namely people aggressively and unnecessarily leaping in to correct her English when in fact she is talking about the unique name of a company or some such thing. On the whole though, Americans are far less conscious of \"foreign-ness\" than I think Thais were. It\'s hard to say, but one thing I do know is that there is no double-pricing and my wife does not have to worry about shake-downs from the local police like I used to periodically worry about. If my wife wants to get a loan from the bank or a credit card, she just applies. It took a couple of years but my wife has good credit and her own bank accounts. Probably best of all, she is 10,000 times stronger than she was before we left Thailand. She doesn\'t take crap  from anyone anymore.

However, Bangkok is an anomaly in Thailand.  The first assumption is that Thai students want to learn English.  Some do, but many just want to study a degree with a certificate at the end (Where I work ).   Maybe about seven students out of a class of forty actually want to learn.  Secondly, many teachers are having to do additional work on top of a full time job.  In my case it is trying to maintain some academic work which is nearly impossible but I am try even though I am not paid to do it.  Third, even though I have a PhD, I started on less than 30,000 baht in a Thai university and have experienced  a complete lack of regard for language teaching .  I am clever, hardworking and committed to my students, but nobody else is and another factor is that I would gain very little advantage economically in having Thai language.  The government has set our pay low for decades and we cannot get performance increases like the Thai staff who can sit back doing relatively nothing.  Most of my time now is spent trying to find alternative sources of income but I am fighting to find the time to learn some Thai even though I have a Thai partner she says the same - I gain no benefit other than cultural and social integration.

This is where Thailand trips up as it doesn\'t teach its youth the required skills needed to absorb information that has no strict \'laws\' attached to it.\r\n\r\nAlthough many foreign teachers in Thailand speak only English, if they have a university degree then they have obviously spent a good deal of their lives learning something, right?\r\n\r\nSure, recognizing the difficulties of language learning can make a teacher more sympathetic toward the students but it doesn\'t make the teacher any more capable. More patient, maybe.\r\n\r\nTo be an appreciated and successful (not necessarily good) educator in Thailand you have to recognize why the students are there and how engaged they are in the process. What is their motivation for learning English?\r\n\r\nOne of the best points of your article is that students face an overwhelming amount of competing and often conflicting instructions. This is one of the biggest differentiators when it comes to separating the \'effective\' teachers from the rest.\r\n\r\nEducators must recognize that teaching something abstract, confusing and of seemingly no value is going to be a tough act to perform.\r\n\r\nBreaking the subject matter down to bite-sized digestible chunks is the only way Thais have any hope of absorbing anything you do or say... regardless of how sympathetic to their difficulties you are and regardless of your knowledge of your subject.

Language learning in the UK is a good example and mirrors Thailand with the government seemingly not caring about such an important area of education.  However, I would reiterate, how can you recruit passionate, committed teachers who might also want to engage with language learning themselves?  I myself am a skilled worker yet I won\'t get any retirement monies from Thailand.  I do listen to the news in Thai and fight to learn some Thai (I learn bits from my students).  But I can assure everyone, working in the public university system and not the privatised Bangkok learning environment, that management is so shocking as to disadvantage the poor the most.  The middle class and rich can buy tuition or send their kids to Bangkok or even round here, the richer parents can fund English Programs by paying for foreigners to teach.  The Thai university lecturers in some cases are worse than hardworking school teachers - they themselves are not improving their own language skills.  Even some teachers who know Thai quite well are not always good teachers because they were not trained to be.  My students at age 18 in many cases still do not know how to tell the time whilst kids in local private schools will know how to do that at ages 6-10 - that is educational divide that exists.

The use of this method of teaching vocabulary needs to be examined and questioned.\r\n\r\nIf you absolutely have to teach vocabulary, then of course groups of related words (lexical sets) make sense.\r\n\r\nBut really, the province of this area of English language tutoring should not be part of the expensive foreign teacher\'s remit. This is something that can easily be done by Thai or Philippine teachers.\r\n\r\nAnd even then, I question the value of holding up flash cards with words on them. Words on their own have no context. It\'s like picking a few random numbers out of thin air and a week later asking the students \"What numbers did we study last week?\"\r\n\r\nAnd apart from wasting the valuable time of the teacher, teaching \'vocab\' isn\'t a good way to learn a foreign language... except when you are very young: ball... dog... cat...\r\n\r\nWords need context. Teaching groups of words in lexical sets doesn\'t really help as much as some would have you believe.\r\n\r\nI\'ll give you an example...\r\n\r\nMost Thai students look at the word \'gloves\' for the first time and pronounce the \'o\' sound as \'lot\' instead of the correct \'uh\' sound as in \'but\'. You teach them the correct pronounciation along with other articles of clothing (the lexical set) and next week they will have forgotten the pronounciation and revert back to the phonetic appearance of the word.\r\n\r\nBut if you teach the word in a simple phrase (and an image that matches) then the correct pronounciation sticks. \"She loves her gloves!\"\r\n\r\nThe other issue I have with lexical sets is that they almost always include words that no Thai would ever use just to make up the group.\r\n\r\nHere\'s an example of a set of words that are taught at my school... \'shoes, socks, skirt, shorts, shirt, jumper\'\r\n\r\nWhy the bloody hell is \'jumper\' in there? Have you ever seen a Thai wear a jumper, say the word jumper or try to knit one?\r\n\r\nLike the writer says... \'it\'s a constant search for ways of doing things better.\'',1,'101.51.110.250',1,'2016-07-04 23:21:10','2016-07-05 00:17:25'),(5417,31070,'t mark','naisemama@gmail.com','chantaburi','It does not matter how anything is presented if it is not relevant to the students than it is of no use.\r\n\r\nSo maybe the subject English needs to take a back seat. Maybe lexical sets are more important in other subjects such as science, math and as stated in the article cooking.\r\n\r\nSo is the problem in the almost fanatical use of text books. I hear it so often. I cannot teach without the teachers book. A absolute lot of garbage.\r\n\r\nWe are not teaching kids to put the correct word or symbol in a box during a test. We are teaching students to understand the man made and natural worlds we live in.\r\n\r\nI suggest we spend less time institutionalising students into beauracracies.\r\n\r\nI meet so many people that have lots of bits of paper but cannot do the basic things in life.

Instead of just saying that a language is hard to learn - ask why that \'really\' is. \r\n\r\nI remember teaching a teenage Israeli girl here in Bangkok. When she first started, her English was extremely poor. As I always do with my students, I inform them that I\'m more of an \'instructor\'. A teacher is someone who doesn\'t just teach the academics. As an Instructor, I just teach the language.\r\n\r\nI told her that if she\'s serious about English she will have to practise a lot in her free time. Studying with me for four hours a week will help, but she\'ll forget a lot of it if she doesn\'t take it upon herself to keep practising the language in (her) free time. \r\n\r\nI noticed a dramatic improvement in her ability very quickly. She was reading English magazines, watching movies with English audio and going out and speaking to English speakers. She wanted to improve and knew it would take hard work.  Do I take the credit for that? No. I\'m a guide - an instructor. I can only motivate you so much until you take it upon yourself to put the hard work in. I\'m not the only teacher in a school of 1000+ students who needs to be getting that message across. \r\n\r\nWhen I did my CELTA, I thought I learnt so much. When I started in Thai classroom, I soon realised that so much of what I learnt doesn\'t apply in Thailand. I had class sizes of 35-50. I had learnt from two trainers who had all the qualifications, but none of the real day-to-day Thai classroom experience. The Thai classroom taught me that experience was worth so much more. It\'s like the boss who comes around who has all the certificates. They don\'t actually know how to do your job, but they know the book says it\'s wrong. \r\n\r\nA good teacher is a teacher that tries. At this TEFL level, we are not Harvard professors. We don\'t earn the money and we don\'t have the qualifications. All we can do it try our best and be honest about what works and what doesn\'t. Make the vocab more relevant. Get away from putting flashcards on boards and having students hit them with a fly swatter. My God, what a way to waste 15 minutes of a child\'s life. They\'ll soon remember the word \'dishwasher\' once they\'ve struck it with a flyswatter!\". No, they won\'t. That vocab isn\'t relevant, and they only remember it momentarily for the purposes of being awarded a point. \r\n\r\nWe need to get away from the \'hand around the child\' approach. (Although, I think in the west you\'re not allowed to put your hands around children anyway) Children want attention. It\'s hard to give a child attention in a class of 35+ no matter what \'the book\' says. But to be fair to the book, I think one of the first things it would say is \"Don\'t have 35+ kids in a class) anyway. Call a spade a spade. Adapt - don\'t live in a fairy tail style classroom with your head in the clouds. You can name the style of teaching with all the acronyms under the sun. If it doesn\'t work - change it. \r\n\r\nUntil courses are bespoke exclusively for Thailand, nothing much will change. Thailand has a unique culture and a unique education system.

Maybe it\'s an analogy about how we shouldn\'t have mixed levels in the same class. Unfortunately, money comes first here in Thailand and mixed levels will continue. (But the onus must be on the (farang) teacher to bring those lower level kids up to the same level). Also, make this balloon into a sausage dog. \r\n\r\nTo be honest, Thailand has very unrealistic expectations of its farang teachers. You stick a foreign teacher in a massive class & expect the teacher to work wonders. The school and/or agency collects their money and doesn\'t care. What\'s the average salary in Bangkok? 35-40k? So for that, you\'ll be lucky to find a person with a degree in some irrelevant field who spells it \'you\'re\' and not \'your\'. He or she is offered no benefits, sometimes no sick pay, etc, and is pushed to work harder to compensate for the school or agency\'s abhorrent shortcomings. \r\n\r\nI\'ve worked with some teacher trainers before. Some were excellent and some were awful. Not to be ageist, but I found the younger trainers to be more open and affable. I found the older ones to be too set in their ways. I found the older ones thought they knew it all and couldn\'t possibly take on any new suggestions or ideas from other teachers. My TEFL trainer would avoid difficult questions (which he should have known the answer to) with a \"You\'re the teacher. You go and find out\". Thing was; I wasn\'t a teacher, and I had paid thousands of dollars to learn how to be one and have my questions answered. \r\n\r\nI came to Thailand with the intention of living and teaching here. If I could do my TEFL course again, I\'d want a trainer who had at least three years\' experience at the lowest level in Thailand. Someone to say \"Look!

I know there are good opportunities and benefits of returning home, some of which I mentioned in the article. I think hitting the 3 year mark started these feelings or perhaps it is just that I haven\'t been back home in over a year so I am missing things more than before. \r\n\r\nI\'m not here to defend all of the choices I have made in my life and I have had some great times in Thailand so I don\'t regret being here but there are a couple of points I would like to make in regards to your comments.\r\n\r\nFirst things first, I have no intention of leaving my girlfriend - part of the reason for looking at being overseas is for her. As for our future, we know what is going to happen and after over just 2 years of knowing each other and a shorter time living together things are moving in a good pace in the right direction. \r\n\r\n As I said in the article we aren\'t looking to move right away and have recently decided to look into this. Like you Jon, I had the idea of being here for a year or two but that quickly extended - I\'m sure that is the same for many people.  Like others have said below restaurant work involves night shifts and I would want us to have a lifestyle where we work similar shifts and have time together. There is no point moving and working opposite ends of the day. Whilst we realize moving would mean making sacrifices in the short term, the idea is to improve our quality of life.\r\n\r\nWithout going into my complete financial history I do make more than many teachers here in Thailand - over double what a government teacher would earn per month. I\'m not living in poverty and to say I have \"no business\" owning a condo is unfair.  My condo is not an 8 million Sathorn mega apartment and I have savings in the UK which I don\'t include in my monthly income. It cost 2.6 million Baht - hardly an extravagant purchase. Also Jon salaries in America are higher than those in the UK - my UK salary was just over the UK average so I guess you feel sorry for most UK citizens and our small pay packets. \r\n\r\nMy finances are mostly separate from my girlfriend\'s. We don\'t share a bank account and in general we split most things. I don\'t give my girlfriend an \"allowance\" or tell her what she should spend her money on. I\'m also not the stingy guy that wont help her out, if she needs a couple of thousand baht for something important then I will lend it to her. \r\n\r\nThai banks are not too friendly towards foreigners but for Thai citizens with a 25K THB job they can get a mortgage of 1.5M THB no problems. Obviously that wont buy a 2 bedroom central condo but outside the centre it will get you a decent 1 bedroom condo. My girlfriend lives rent free and only has to pay 3-5k per month to her mother so she has money to spend. I help her out a little bit from time to time but the amount I give her doesn\'t affect my decision on staying here.\r\n\r\nThere are lots of options out there and as you said having a plan is important, it\'s something I\'m looking into now. I didn\'t grow up with a dream job or feel like I was destined to do something - some people are lucky and discover it early whilst others have to look around.  The change to move out of Thailand wont happen overnight and I\'m not rushing to make it. I make enough money now to have a decent lifestyle and do many things, I\'m not going to move and be in a worse situation for the sake of it. \r\n\r\nMy website is just something I do for a bit of fun - you wont see me spending hours on Twitter or attending networking events, I have other things to do. I spend less than five hours a week on my site just updating things and writing a few articles a month. It is fun and it is an option that I would look into when it comes to considering a new job or perhaps gaining new qualifications. \r\n\r\nAgain I appreciate taking the time you took to write a comment. I\'m sure there are many other people in a similar position to me, I even know a couple myself, and they will gain a lot by hearing about your experiences of moving home. \r\n',0,'110.168.4.120',1,'2016-07-08 06:45:40','2016-07-08 08:35:38'),(5434,31074,'Steve','steve1thatcher@yahoo.com.au','Abu Dhabi','Well if you are a walker.

I\'ve been to Singapore perhaps 60 times and to me it is just like going to another Australian city (yes, I\'m an Aussie).  I go for work but I wouldn\'t go there for a holiday.  Nothing to see that I couldn\'t see in Australia.  Many years ago Singapore was different and a bit like Bangkok, Saigon and there was a sense of adventure when you went there. Now sadly all gone.  But that is my opinion.  Others I know disagree. I sense that Bangkok authorities dream about becoming the new Singapore and are hell bent on achieving it.  But it will mean the end of Bangkok as we know it and it will become just a second rate Singapore.  A pseudo Singapore with a corruptocracy/ military junta (depending on the situation) rather than a dictatorship.  The sellers on the footpaths/sidewalks are part of the culture of Bangkok.

The first one assumes that because you have a Thai spouse or child you will live like a Thai person. I also suggest it assumes that the visa applicant will live with the Thai spouse rent free.\r\nThe single retiree needs more than this THB 60,000 because they will have to find accommodation and live a more Western lifestyle. \r\n\r\nSo from this I would assume anyone living on minimum monthly income of THB 60.000 as set by the Government must be really doing it tough.\r\n\r\nPersonally I will be retiring to Thailand on about THB 100,000 / mth and from personal experience I need about THB 60,000 to THB 80,000 to live comfortably.

I\'d love to make a movie or write a book about them but I don\'t think anyone would believe it. \r\n\r\nMy friends and I were recently joking about making a comedy movie about all the bad schools and agents out there.  One of my friends said that would be pointless as nearly all schools and agents are Thai. No one outside of Thailand could really relate to it and most people simply wouldn\'t care.\r\n\r\nThen one of my friends said he worked for a \'farang\' agency in Bangkok. My god, the stories he told were unbelievable. Sad thing was he was telling the truth. We all agreed that this would make for a great movie but it couldn\'t be comedy, it had to be horror ha ha!\r\n\r\nHe said he expected a higher level of professionalism, but what he got was worse than any Thai agent he worked for. No contract, no sick pay, no background check even though he was working with kids, no honesty, an extremely mentally unstable, deluded and inept farang liaison teacher, an ego driven boss with little man syndrome. The list just went on and on. It was hilarious.\r\n\r\nI\'ve seen bad teacher. It just amplifies the stereotype of a jaded teacher in a humourous way. I\'d love to see \'Bad agent\'. You wouldn\'t have to amplify their debauched and abhorrent behaviour. Just simply write what you know. Anyone who\'s worked for an agent would love it. I think the tagline of the movie would be \"Beware of those preaching about professionalism and morality\'. \r\n\r\nKeep writing these articles, Stevie. They\'re brilliant.

However I do have elderly relative who wont fly so the option is I go back, perhaps on my own, once a year. \r\n\r\nSteve - 100K should be great if you already have a condo. That is my plan, to have the condo to rent out when I leave and to live in in the future.

Can you be a teacher for another 25+ years if your heart isn\'t fully into it? The Thai education system is crap for the most part and thus you would be putting up a lot of crap for a long time. Whatever you do, if you ever decide to get married (you should) and have children, DO NOT put them through the Thai education system. In other words, your only option would be going home in that scenario.   It is hard to write unfavorably about the Thai education system on a Thai teaching resource website, but teachers know it is true. I worked at BCC for just under 2 years. Their reputation is high, but it is so unprofessional and unorganized.\r\n\r\nSo another option is getting out of the education system altogether, and finding a new way to generate income on your own. The problem in this case is that you will deal with visa issues forever.\r\n\r\nI worked in the UK from 2004-2005 and enjoyed my time there.

I like my job very much but my main point was that Thailand does very little to encourage quality people to teach in their system.  Therefore, having dedicated teachers who really want to improve themselves on a daily basis by say learning Thai or engaging in the academic literature (ahhh what a bore)  is only going to happen in the urban centres where people pay more and thus expect more from language teaching.  So a lot of articles do not reflect the reality in most of Thailand.  I give you an example we had a Japanese teacher who could speak Thai great and was dedicated yet she was offered half the money most of us got and yet she had skills.  So yes it would be great if every teacher learnt some Thai so they could understand what students go through however I am worried it is only the privileged kids who get to experience quality teaching however the rampant jealously and corrupt promotion practices mean  that the best teachers become a cog in the system and you end up having to take care of your own skin.

Its been pretty much the opposite of “quiet” or peaceful for at least 40 years and I don’t think it has ever been known for its beaches. Its known mostly for its “nightlife” and prostitution. And of course due to its proximity to Bangkok it’s also a good place to get away from the big city for a weekend. \r\n\r\nIn any case, if you wanted beautiful beaches and serenity you should have gone to Phuket or Koh Samui. Of course if you are still in Pattaya you might want to check out Koh Samet which is only about an hours drive south and a very short ferry ride from there. There are also several small Islands right off the coast of Pattaya (such as they are) and the smallest one is usually deserted. \r\n\r\nAnyway, I did not like Pattaya at all the first time I went there myself – mostly because I was so anxious to get to Phuket - but the place grew on me over the years and I now don’t think its that bad a place at all. Of course I don’t mind the crowds like you do and I certainly don’t get disturbed or put off simply by being in the presence of bargirls or their patrons. \r\n\r\nBy the way, there are a lot of normal nice Thai girls who live in Pattaya and some of them will sometimes go out to the big nightclubs on walking street with their friends and they dont seem to mind the fact that 90 percent of the other girls at the club are freelance prostitutes. So if it doesn’t bother these Thai girls you shouldn’t let it bother you either? Of course if you are an overly religious type, and not a live and let live kind of person as I am, then I guess I could see how you might find it disturbing. \r\n\r\nAnyway best of luck with everything.\r\n',1,'23.113.84.190',1,'2016-07-10 10:37:48','2016-07-10 11:35:46'),(5447,31043,'Sam','whambamthanku_sam@gmail.com','Bangkok','I\'ll be honest I get really annoyed when teachers say \"Learn another language and you\'ll understand the difficulties of your students\". I find it to be trite and totally one sided. Languages are difficult. Saying they\'re difficult doesn\'t change anything. \r\n\r\n\"I\'ve been studying Japanese two hours a week for 10 years, and now I\'m fluent\" said no one ever. You can\'t just turn up to class and expect to learn. \'You\' have to try. And you have to try damn hard!\r\n\r\nWhen I was younger I had French lessons. I studied French for about 7 years. How\'s my French now? Non-existent. Why? Because I simply couldn\'t be bothered to learn it. I had zero interest and didn\'t listen. Was my teacher bad? No. She did her best but there was no effort from my end. I didn\'t listen and I didn\'t care. Should my teacher have motivated me more? How? She was in a class of 25 kids. She had her work cut out enough already as it was. \r\n\r\nSomeone once said to me \"The kids will learn with or without you\". Meaning don\'t take too much credit for their learning. The guy who said it to me was an idiot who cared more about his bottom line and ego than anything else. \r\n\r\nSo....if the kids will learn with or without you - how is it that some kids have been learning English since kindergarten but still can\'t even answer \"What\'s your name?\". They\'ve had different English teachers. They can\'t all have been bad. Oh! is it maybe because the student couldn\'t care less about learning English. Am I supposed to magically find the time to motivate this student. If that student can\'t be motivated, I\'ve failed that student, right? Have I b*****. \r\n\r\nTeachers here are thrown into classes with 35+ kids. All mixed levels. Most teachers have very few resources, have kids in class who not only don\'t listen, but talk when the teacher is talking. When I was a kid, if I talked when the teacher was talking, I\'d have been thrown out of class. My parents would have been called and my father would have given me a whack and said \"don\'t talk in class!\". If you don\'t wanna listen in class then that\'s up to you, but you won\'t disrupt the other kids from learning. Kids here so often just talk when you\'re teaching. I was told once not to send the kids outside because they\'ll be missing out. So what? Just keep saying \"Be quiet every other 10 seconds? No. Put your arm around the child and say \"Look, buddy. Your behaviour isn\'t acceptable\". I was actually told to do that. Em.... A; that kid probably won\'t understand a word that\'s coming out of my mouth, and B: why do I always have to pander to the disruptive kids? Why are they getting most of my time and attention. There are a lot of kids here who actually wanna learn. \r\n\r\nAs for teacher trainers, well, they\'re employed to train teachers. That\'s their job and I\'m sure most are good at it. They all have the qualifications and have studied hard. But, if you put them in a typical Thai classroom, the kids would just run rings around them. I believe most simply couldn\'t do the job. But again, their primary job is to train teachers. \r\n\r\nUnfortunately, a lot of what the teacher trainers have studied doesn\'t apply to Thailand. You shouldn\'t have 35+ kids in a class. A lot of the kids when with their Thai teacher just sit quietly, pretend to listen and copy off the board. When they come to English class with a foreign teacher, they see it as a release. Have some fun. Not too serious, teacher. The buck has to stop with education system here. \r\n\r\nI take my hat off to any teacher with integrity. All you can do is learn as you go along and try your best. The odds are often against you, and the onus seems to be on you if the kids aren\'t learning, but you still work hard and try. Instead of people laying blame on teachers all the time; let\'s call a spade a spade. The education system here is for the most part horrible. There is no such thing as a perfect classroom nor teacher. \r\n\r\nOne last thing. If you really wanna learn something, you will. Even if you only learn a little, you will learn something. If you don\'t listen and don\'t wanna make the effort, you won\'t learn anything. There\'s only so much a teacher on a 40k salary can do until \'you\' realise \'The teacher is a guide.

You need a career, not a job.  You seem too attached to your condo, and ultimately, it would seem logical enough that you should put it up for sale once it is paid off.  Also, I don\'t understand why Thais tend to favor buying condos that they really can\'t afford. Just because the bank will approve the loan does not mean it is sound. The banks are competitive for business in Thailand. Buy a condo later in life. Take a look at the BTS masterplan. It will look a lot different in 2030 - which means a huge glut of new condos being built and sold. I would not consider a condo a safe investment. There are too many unknowns and risks associated. They may not seem present now, but they will likely materialize in the coming years as Thailand\'s economy appears to be turning lower.\r\n\r\nI am not sure what type of employment your girlfriend would find outside of Thailand but she should be open to just about anything, and more jobs will pay more than 25k baht a month. She should be more open and willing to engage in new type of work as well. There are other options besides only restaurant work - what about being a cashier at a supermarket or retail store? There should be plenty of options for part-time work as well. I won\'t get into your personal relationship too much, but you shouldn\'t stay only for her, as hard as that may seem.\r\n\r\nI was not clear on what her education background was. What type of work is she currently engaged in? Also, I believe you failed to mention your background as well. It would assist readers of this blog to know what your skills are, and what type of alternative work you would be considering.\r\n\r\nI agree with a previous post that the longer you forego employment in the UK or wherever you decide to settle outside of Thailand, the more difficult it will be for you to gain meaningful employment. Most employers can\'t get over those \"Thailand years\" when they present their CV, and the longer you stay, the harder it will be.\r\n\r\nAlso, what exactly is it that you \"love\" about Thailand? It may seem like a silly question, but it is surprising how many foreigners have trouble answering this question. I have heard people say its the beaches, or the food, or the people.  All of these things together create a culture, but I have to believe there is something more that drives people to commit their lives and futures to a country that is riddled with issues and challenges (every country is, I suppose) which for me personally, includes political risks and rising costs. I see both of these elements as getting worse before they get better.  Honestly, I can find nice beaches, good cuisine, and friendly people just about anywhere in the world, so when I asked myself this question, I also had some difficulty answering it.  Please don\'t compare Thailand to your home country like so many people do... \"the costs are cheaper, the weather is nicer, etc\" there has got to be more to it than that....\r\n\r\nMost of all Richard, you don\'t see to enjoy your work. Foreign teachers in Thailand either have to accept that they are there for a short-time, perhaps 1-3 years, or they are in it for the long haul, and try to establish a teaching career. Anyone caught in the middle is lost and needs to examine what they are doing. You have a decent salary, and financially you seem sound, but do you see it keeping up with inflation and the cost of living from now to 2050 and beyond?

Many Thais despise their neighbors, and the feeling is mutual (Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia are a few examples - is it okay to say racism is prevalent?) Most Thais won\'t live or work in these countries, and few will even be given the opportunity to do so. ASEAN really only is fully open/free movement of people if you fall under certain type of skilled professions, including doctors, nurses, engineers, accountants, tourism.  Thus, while you might be open to living and working in nearby countries, I would assume that your girlfriend would not be on board with the idea.             \r\n          Also, would that also just be a stint for a few years as well, before your next move? Living as a nomad might have its perks, but I think you need something more stable. You are 28 years old. If you were 22-25, I would suggest staying a few years and sorting things out (which is kinda what you did and where you are right now) and if you were 50 years old+, this would be an entirely different conversation. It would be a retirement discussion. But you are 28 years old.\r\n           Read the book \"A Woman of Bangkok\" in your spare time. It sounds like you have a lot of spare time and hopefully you are engaging in meaningful activities and constantly learning as well.\r\n          As far as the whole condo issue, I would suggest reading this article:\r\nhttp://www.stickmanweekly.com/StickMarkII/WhyIWillNeverBuyACondoInBangkok.htm\r\n          If I was retiring in Thailand, I might consider it. Under any other circumstances, it seems like it is full of pitfalls and setbacks. There are also massive risks…do you really think the Thai economy will be stronger in the next 5 years? If you do, you are in the minority. Also, does anyone remember the 1997 financial crisis? Most readers here probably don\'t even know what I am referring to. It was mainly a currency crisis….it could certainly happen again. \r\n     It might even be difficult to sell your condo now or once you pay off the remaining balance. Try and unload it, even if you take a loss. The taxes are generally on the arbitrary assessed value, not the market value. Thus, the tax you will pay could be as high as 30% of the purchase price! Also, need to consider the taxes, insurance, fees, etc. There are numerous bureaucratic complications and peripheral costs. Those will go higher before they go lower. \r\n       I know you feel that you have it all sorted out…. Pay off the balance in 3 years, rent it out or have your gf/her family stay there for awhile, etc. Hey, this will be great! You won’t have to pay rent for the rest of your life. I’ll be the envy of all my family and friends….(the ones back home that I rarely see anymore). The price of the unit will only go up, etc.  Sounds a lot like the timeshare trap that so many people fall for…Honestly though, it rarely works out that way. If you sell it, your head will be clearer and your decisions will actually become a lot easier. It might not feel like a stress on you now, but it will be at some point. It is just a condo afterall. Please don’t get too attached to it like so many others do and don’t think of it as a sound investment. The general global consensus that real estate is a good investment is just that... a consensus. That does not mean it is true!There are so many things to consider. Maybe find a decent career back in the UK, save up a decent amount of money (not just 10k-20k baht a month – that’s a respectable savings on your current salary, but I am speaking of the big picture) and if your heart still says that you need a condo in your life, buy one many years from now. But if you marry your girlfriend, and want to have children someday, you likely wouldn’t stay in a condo anyway. You would likely need more space. I know it can be done, but it is not ideal for most people. Keep your quality of life higher.',0,'108.171.131.178',1,'2016-07-11 14:41:41','2016-07-11 23:51:35'),(5453,31023,'Trlgeth','nymet449@gmail.com','Redmond',' Richard,\n\nThank you for taking the time to write this article. It certainly has provoked a lot of responses. Using a bit of Brexit terminology, most of the responses seem to favor a vote “to leave” and not “remain” I would also agree with the consensus.  Despite some concerns about Brexit and the future of the UK job market, immigration concerns, etc. it likely won’t materialize for years and shouldn’t be used as an excuse for not returning.\n\nNo one likes to hear it – to be told that your stay in Thailand has ran its course and it is time to move on. It is a hard thing to accept. People get comfortable here, and they don’t want to leave what is comfortable and familiar to them. You are merely existing in Thailand at the moment, not living in Thailand.\n\nI just wanted to address some of your points in your original posting:\n\n“There is the option of getting a better paying job but I would hate to go back into sales and I really can\'t be doing with sitting in an office in front of a computer all day again. This makes us moving to the UK a possibility but maybe not an easy thing to do.”\n\n“Some of my friends think I\'m not really working hard and being here is a bit of a jolly. To be honest in some aspects I would agree with them”\n\n“She worked in a Thai restaurant in New York and she wouldn\'t go back to that kind of job again.”\n\n“My girlfriend\'s family relies on her a lot, we would need to think a lot about this before leaving Thailand.” (What does that mean, exactly? They rely on her financially? If that is the case, she would be better off earning a decent wage abroad to support her family)\n\n“This isn\'t just a decision for me, it would also be for my girlfriend. I have huge belief in her ability and feel it is being wasted here in Thailand. She has a lot of potential and I feel she would thrive in a different environment”\n\n“Working 9-5 now seems like a stupid thing to do and if I moved away from Thailand I\'m certain I would have to work harder and longer. The thought of leaving this style of living is hard to embrace and a reason to stay.”  (Silly – not everyone works 9-5 jobs! I certainly don’t, and even if you did, why would it be a stupid thing to do?! Let’s say it provides for you and your girlfriend/future wife…does that make it a stupid thing to do?? Also, you might not be working harder and longer. You are making a lot of assumptions.  Lastly, when you speak of the thought of leaving this style of living is what is causing you to stay….that is correct. You are afraid of confronting your own reality. You have a lot of fear and doubt in you. Way more than you should. It must be stressful – so much so that the carefree and easy-going lifestyle you cited is likely dampened by your internal issues. You created the situation, but then you don’t want to confront it or deal with it in a logical way that requires action and not words. That’s a huge problem)\n\nYou don’t sound like a very optimistic person. It appears that you have little confidence in your own ability. You shouldn’t assume that your life would only lead to a certain type of job such as sales. You have the ability to do other things. Gain more education, learn a trade, develop new skills, etc. You even write it would not be an easy thing to do. I agree, it would not be. However, it is still the most logical thing for you to do at this point.  Also, you put a lot of confidence in your girlfriend’s ability… more so than your own ability. Logic would then suggest that you should make the move, right? At least one thing seems certain: You know that you are not destined to be a teacher in Thailand for your career.  Sure, not everyone likes their job, and some people just put up with it day-in and day-out as a means to be employed and have a salary, but that is the wrong mindset here. Teaching is a personal job and you can have a profound impact on the lives of individuals. It should never be taken lightly. It requires a lot of heart and dedication, and it appears that you don’t have it anymore. I am sure you are a good teacher, but if your heart is detached from it, and by your own admission it is, then you need to stop.\n\n“About 2 years ago I was about ready to leave Bangkok; I had had enough of the traffic, pollution and way of life. I might have stayed in Thailand or checked out another country but I wouldn\'t have gone back to the UK at that point. It was about that time I met a special girl....\n\nNow I still hate the traffic and pollution but have someone amazing to live here with. I bought a condo last year and things are going great/”\n\nAbout the condo:\n\nI am so confused… I just want to be clear, and correct me if I am wrong:  You came to Thailand approx. 3 years ago, and after 1 year, you were ready to leave. Then you met your girlfriend, and you decided to buy a condo last year. You waited approx. 18 months for her to move in with you, which is good I guess, but now you are thinking about maybe leaving again? Did the girlfriend have any decision on your decision to buy a condo? I know you will likely answer “no” when the more likely answer is “yes.” Did she already have her own condo before you, and convinced you it was a good idea to get one as well?  If it is truly your condo that keeps you there, then please sell it immediately. What a liability and hassle. You feel it keeps you stuck in Bangkok, which I am sure makes your girlfriend happy, but keeps you in a constant state of should I stay or should I go?  My friend from Denmark bought a condo in Thailand – paid for it in full in 17 months, and he says it was easily the worst decision in his life. Great location – steps off the Udom Suk BTS stop (Ideo). Brand new building, but fees and costs quickly went up, management was poor, and it was hard to sell when he decided to move home.  For some reason, Thais generally don’t want to buy “used” condos. The value it was assessed at was nowhere near what he paid for it. He paid 2.1MB, had it assessed at 2.8MB two years after, but it ultimately sold at 1.4MB, and that was before the taxes, etc.  More than a 50% loss on his so-called investment. It was a disaster. A condo is rarely an investment. If you sell it, and combine the proceeds with the other UK savings you mentioned you have, your assets should surpass the minimum thresholds for a K1 visa. Thus, it won’t all be tied to your income initially. It will be a burden off your shoulder as well.  Also, you always have the option of a parent or guardian as the sponsor on the K1 if you don’t meet the minimum requirements. Did you know that?\n\nWhich raises another very important question…. What does your family think? Do they support you and your decisions? Do they have an opinion and does it influence you in any way? If they do support you (and hopefully they do) then certainly consider moving back to the UK. Seems like a lot of positive outcomes will occur if that is your choice.\n\nIn my opinion, the best 2 options for you are as follows – note that both options assume that you leave Thailand and return to the UK, as it seems to be the only logical option at this point:\n\nFirst, you can return to the UK without your girlfriend, which would end the relationship, and get your footing. Start a new career, find a place to stay, and work hard. It might require you to gain further education or develop new skills. It won’t be easy.\n\nSecond, and much more favorable, you sell you condo, return to the UK, work a few months to create an employment record, then file the paperwork for a K1 fiance visa, which would begin the process of bringing her over to the UK, and eventually get married. There are plenty of jobs available for her. It might not be skilled labor, but few first jobs abroad would be.  She can start out working part-time gigs, meet new people, etc.  Your family can be her support system too.\n\nIf you really believe there are no opportunities for either of you in the UK, something is wrong in your thought process. I am not from the UK, but I know the situation is not as dire as many expats make it out to be. Economic reports suggest that unemployment and inflation is still relatively low, etc. Again, I know the Brexit thing is a concern, but life will move on and it likely won’t be as apocalyptic as the media is making it to be.\n\n“If I had the chance to see my family more often then of course I would take it but then it means my girlfriend wouldn\'t see her family so it\'s a double edged sword. We stay or we go and either way one of us sees a lot less of our family.” (If you move to France or Italy as you suggested, then neither of you will have the option of seeing your families on a regular basis, and it will be hard with her paperwork, so just take that option off the table)\n\nLife involves a lot of sacrifices and compromises. You seem to want to avoid both. However, you can’t avoid it and need to confront it. What is your girlfriend contributing? What sacrifices and compromises is she willing to make?  It is good that you got the conversation started and you are now beginning to ponder your options. Ultimately, the only thing that counts in the end is acting on those decisions, and responding to that nagging voice in your head that are telling you this isn’t working and you need a plan.\n\nYou need to be more willing to take two steps back and one step forward at times, and eventually your path in life will get easier and the course will be reversed. I am unclear what your girlfriend’s intentions are. I am not even sure if she even intends to get married. I would assume so. You suggested that she had a desire to work abroad, but not in a restaurant. So going back to that sacrifice/compromise thing, maybe she just isn’t on board yet.  No one says it would be her life to be in a restaurant. Maybe just a few months to get things started. You put a lot of confidence in her ability, whatever that means….Quite honestly, that is pretty vague. Does she have a university degree? (hopefully) Can her skills be applicable to other professions? What is her English ability? I don’t see a realistic scenario in which both of you live in Bangkok for many more years, and all your problems just disappear, so she should sell her condo, and use the proceeds to help in the transition of both of you getting to the UK. Sacrifice and compromise. Both you are her need to make the hard decisions necessary to have a legitimate chance at a future together. Putting off these big decisions now will only result in a bad outcome in the future. It is a certainty. Does her family live in Bangkok? If not, what is that talk about having them stay there rent-free in the future? What would they be doing for work while in BKK – assuming they are not in BKK working already? Draft an “exit strategy” now and follow through with it. Don’t feel trapped and option-less. Hopefully both of you can agree on an outcome together. However, be open to the possibility that some of the harder decisions in life are not mutual and need to be made by yourself. She is your girlfriend, not your fiancé or your wife. She might certainly become that down the road, but for now, you are in control of your own life and your own decisions.\n\nI don’t claim to have all the answers and accept that each situation is different, but not that different. This is a common scenario played out thousands of times in Thailand for foreigners, and more often than not, the wrong decisions seem to be made.  Also, judging from your own words, it appears that you will stay in Thailand regardless. \n\nThere are a lot of options out there – just make sure you are aware of them. Don’t feel stuck, because you aren’t. Get back to the UK and give yourself and your girlfriend/future wife a chance at a great life.\n\nI wish you and your girlfriend all the best and hope all works out. Keep the community posted.\n\nCheers.',0,'71.195.8.75',1,'2016-07-12 01:51:44','2016-07-12 01:52:49'),(5454,31023,'Richard','richard@lifeinanewcountry.com','Bangkok','Ashley - My girlfriend has a degree in humanities, majoring in English. She works as an English tutor at a big language school . Her English level is C1. My degree is in Business and I worked in sports/travel sales for 3 years. It was through my job that I first came to Thailand in 2010. \n\nThe reason for being here in the first place was to do my CELTA and as I had already visited I knew about the country and had enjoyed my time. I do enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in Thailand, I have always been quite laid back. I enjoy the leisure activities available in Thailand and the cheap price they cost. Apart from that there are also interesting places to visit. Overall I would say that I\'m not a fan of Bangkok, neither is my girlfriend. \n\nMy salary is acceptable for now, I can also save between $300-500 a month.  In reality there is only a limited chance for it to grow and as someone else mentioned below 100K THB per month is probably the ceiling without changing to a different type of work. \n\nBluesky - You are correct about Thais not wanting to move and work in neighboring countries (except perhaps Singapore) and as I said my girlfriend is not really keen on living in one of these countries. \n\nI bought my condo as a place to live in for the next few years and when it is paid off the plan is to rent it out. It isn\'t a fancy place and the monthly maintenance fee is 900 Baht per month. Currently other units in the building are rented for between 12-14 K per month. The condo is 250 metres walking distance from the planned Pink Line BTS/MRT station.  If worst came to worst I would be shouldered with around $30 -$40 a month to cover costs, although these costs could rise in the future. If this was the case I would just use the condo as a holiday home as I would still come and visit Thailand even if I didn\'t live here. \n\nI agree with your points re condo and family life, the two don\'t mix. \n\nTrlgeth - Thanks for your points. I actually enjoy my job but just feel there are other things I would prefer to do.I see a number of 50+ teachers in the same area I live in who look depressed and stuck in their situation, that\'s where I don\'t want to be and why I wouldn\'t like to be teaching when I\'m 40+ \n\nYour points about sacrifice and give and take are true. I have certainly become comfortable in my lifestyle over the past year and feel I need to take more chances and try new things. My girlfriend and I have a vacation to the UK in October so it will be a good opportunity for her to see things in England and if she likes it. We are currently planning things and researching options. It is interesting to read that other people can be sponsors not just a partner. \n\nI agree with you about the state of the UK. Things aren\'t as bad as some people say and I\'m not too worried about the chance of finding work. I would prefer to avoid the traditional office job and find something else more stimulating to do. The next step is finding out what that is and seeing what I really would like to do. \n\nRegarding my condo it is true that I probably wouldn\'t have bought it if I was single. My girlfriend didn\'t tell me to buy and didn\'t put any pressure on me to do so. As I said above in reply to Bluesky I haven\'t spent the world on this place and the future costs are likely to be low. I could leave Thailand and continue to pay it off but it would involve renting it out first. Selling is an option but as you have said it isn\'t easy to do that and can take time to find a buyer. \n\nFinally I will take your point of an exit strategy, I think that is a great idea and something that will help a lot. \n',0,'110.168.6.236',1,'2016-07-12 03:42:31','2016-07-12 05:09:42'),(5455,31023,'John B','jb19670101@hotmail.com','Bangkok','Richard, sorry to say, but I feel you are being a drama queen.

Some teachers call them \"not normal\" and others just say they \"take medicine\" which is my cue to be aware of them. How I deal with them is up to me.\r\n\r\nSome sit quietly at the back and I don\'t engage with them... others want to really be a part of things and make an effort which is fine by me, too.\r\n\r\nRichard made a good point about how the other kids rally around the ones that struggle. It\'s a joy to see this in practice and it\'s something I get to witness every day.\r\n\r\nMy problem is this cry for \'support\'.\r\n\r\nFirst off, it\'s a Western thing that has become so entrenched in Western society that many people can\'t survive without it. \'No kid left behind!\' and all that rubbish.\r\n\r\nSecond off, what kind of support should \'special\' students get and who\'s gonna pay for it?\r\n\r\nFinally, what happens when the \'support\' stops, the kid leaves school and now has to fend for himself without any kind of training or practice.\r\n\r\nSo, let\'s deal with these three points one by one...\r\n\r\nInstead of being critical of the schools or the government for not providing \'support\' we should be thankful that these kids are even making it to school and that the schools are taking them on.\r\n\r\nSo now let\'s have a look at what the author actually wants? What kind of support is missing? Equipment? Trained staff on hand? Social workers? Where do you stop... or start?\r\n\r\nAnd \'support\' comes in many guises, too. There is already a strong social support system in Thailand that protects these kids from being bullied and harassed. This nullifies the need for \'professional\' busybodies with their weird social agendas.\r\n\r\nAnd while Richard may feel proud enough to brag about the resources spent on \'teaching\' the special kids in the UK, dragging those expensive and dubious methods to Thailand isn\'t something that\'s ever going to happen. And nor should they be.\r\n\r\nWhy? Well, in the UK, people with disabilities are managed from cradle to grave. What Richard is suggesting is that schools should adopt Western \'support\' systems. That\'s fine but what happens when the kids leave school. This pointless intervention can, in my view, eventually do more damage than it does any good.\r\n\r\nThe practice in the West is to over-medicate everything and eventually this doesn\'t work out well. After years of interference and pressure to be forced to join society, kids with special needs are still no closer to doing that and are just left more isolated and miserable... and are now adults with special needs.\r\n\r\nLocally held seminars by mental health professionals might help teachers in Thailand to do a better job. But then again, they might not. Teachers aren\'t trained to absorb complicated regimens of mental health classroom management. But in my experience, they do have plenty of love for all their students, an abundance of common sense and a dedication to their professions.\r\n\r\nI personally think that in Thailand, this is quite enough \'support\'.',1,'101.51.105.106',1,'2016-07-19 19:05:13','2016-07-19 23:56:05'),(5473,31141,'Bart','bart6657@yahoo.co.uk','Phuket','I think Richard nailed it on the head when told by his Thai neighbor why they won\'t acknowledge learning disabilities.  In a society which values \'face\' (aka ego/image), making such a condition public would counter that greatly.  Parents might be shunned or lose precious \'face\' for having a learning-challenged child.  In a class-hierarchy society, any such children from a lower class family would be explained away with \"that\'s why they are lower-class\".  Learning-challenged children from a middle- or upper-class family wouldn\'t be acknowledged as such either, again for the same reason (face/status).  \n\nWhich leads back to the question of what to do....as the ever-contrarian Mark Newman points out, it\'s best left to the teacher.  Most often, that is true.  If you spend time around learning-challenged students (certainly no two are the same) you get a feel for what is within their comfort level and what isn\'t.

Creative desires and aspirations are best fueled wherever you can get by without distractions. Merely living in Bangkok can be a huge distraction to many people, especially doing a job that you don\'t like and  given the tough decisions that Richard is pondering.\r\n\r\nAlso, OnNut 77... seriously? I don\'t even know where to start. Yes, there are some decent condos and places to live...but there are 12 million people in the city and soooooo many other options. Foreigners seem to be attracted to only select locations within the city. It is odd.\r\n\r\nYour comments about making enough money are flat out wrong and very big generalizations...given the rising costs, and low wages, Thailand is a time bomb long-term. Too much risk... political, social, economic... the cracks are finally beginning to show. I worked at the World Bank and the UN here and I have certainly read enough economic reports, outlooks, and opinions to keep me busy for a long time, and the consensus is almost always negative. I can\'t begin to imagine what Thailand will look like in the next few years, let alone the next 30+ years. I have been here more than 6 years, and I will leave when my contract expires in mid-December this year. \r\n\r\nMerely having \"enough to get by\" is not good enough, and it is a terrible answer. More money is generally needed as a safety net. Most people will tell you that you should have a minimum 2-3x your annual income in savings at all times. This assumes too that Richard will not have children and other significant expenses in his life. I am quickly learning that there are not a lot of financially savvy expats living in Thailand, yet many people claim to be. Apparently a lot of financial experts working as English teachers, etc. I am growing so sick of the argument that costs here are so low, and the money/wages earned might be low, but it is enough because \"everything is relative\" to prices back home in the West.....Come on.... you will have enough money when you don\'t have to think or worry about money. I agree with earlier responses to this blog and I tend to meet a lot more foreigners/expats here that are not doing well... emotionally, physically, financially, etc. Broken relationships, no meaningful friendships. It is quite sad.\r\n\r\nAlso, the link provided by Craig... the one citing the low costs of living and quality of life as reasons to live/work in Thailand...the author is a guy with 4 jobs in 17 months, and has a Snapchat photo as his LinkedIn profile photo...not exactly a credible business expert. \r\n\r\nHe writes: \"If you cannot meet entrepreneurs while you are in Bangkok, then you are intentionally avoiding them.\"   \r\n\r\nI would be weary of all of the expats in Thailand \'claiming\' to be entrepreneurs and business experts.  I have certainly heard my share of wild and far-fetching claims here. People have to convince themselves that they are happy and regardless of the setbacks, life will always be better here compared to back home (insert country).

It\'s kind of common sense, but at the level of TEFL teachers, many have to be reminded. We should always encourage our students, and we should always do our best. Younger students have this kind of sixth sense. They can spot a teacher who is genuinely nice and caring - and they can also feel something is not quite right with the \"Hey, buddy! High-five on a sooooper dooooper job! 10 stars!\" kind of teacher.  kids can recognise overkill and the praise then becomes trite. \n\nI don\'t have all the fancy qualifications and knowledge of a very qualified teacher. If i did, I wouldn\'t be teaching TEFL to 35 kids in class. What I do have is integrity and work ethic. I\'m not a happy clappy teacher. Oh, I also have some years of experience in a Thai classroom. I know the system better than most. I know when to smile, nod and even give false praise to bosses who like to share their great ideas without having any real experience or knowledge of a \'Thai classroom\'.  Yes, not just any kind of classroom. This one for westerners is truly unique. \n\nIn this life, you gotta put your money where your mouth is if you wanna be genuinely taken seriously. Too many people nowadays are way too submissive at work. We tiptoe around our bosses and throw around compliments like a beachball at a Nickelback concert. This doesn\'t help us grow as people or teams. What we need is \'BS Man\' (Karl Pilkington). Best superhero ever. \n\nI speak confidently on this because I have years of experience in a Thai classroom. I can smell BS a mile away and despise the ego-driven bosses. My old Thai boss had many suggestions for me. Once you have the experience - you can filter BS way more easily. Then you can smile, nod, and say \"I\'ll get right on with that\" (while doing a Happy Gilmore\'s thumbs down raspberry).\n\nI\'m always willing to learn more. What I\'d really love is for a very well-qualified and experienced teacher/instructor to show us how it\'s done in practice. Go back to the floor. Be a teacher in a real Thai government school for a year. Film it all. Apply these theories for real. See how it works out. That would be the holy grail for teachers here. That would be \'the\' invaluable resource for new teachers and/or teachers without the credentials. Could make for a great documentary, also. \n\nif the experiment works, great! If it falls flat on its face (which i think it would - no offence) great too. Work or not - it would create empathy and understanding from all sides. \n\n',0,'124.121.88.87',1,'2016-07-24 04:47:10','2016-07-24 06:16:31'),(5489,31164,'Samuel ','whambamthanku_sam@gmail.com','Bangkok','If you\'re not part of the solution, you\'re part of the problem. I think that applies from the very top down. \r\n\r\nTEFL teachers roles here are the least significant in an ego-driven hierarchical based structure. Principals and directors know all. It\'s not often you\'ll see one designate a job based purely on the fact \"well, that\'s not my field of expertise\". No, no, no. They know all and will only delegate when they can\'t be bothered. \r\n\r\nThe director: I remember my old director would make her monthly appearances. She\'d burst into my classroom unannounced, the kids would get on their knees with the Thai teacher while I\'d just be standing in dismay. \"Bla, bla bla!\" (She was speaking Thai and I had no idea what was being said\". Actually, not literally translated but it was something like this \"I\'m very important! I like to assert myself over others to fill a huge gap in my life. I won\'t be too rude to the farang teacher because he may bite back. (typical bully) Remember, everyone, I\'m very important!\". She added nothing; in fact, she hindered progress with every second she was there simply to boost her ego. \r\n\r\nThe Principal; She also added very little, but was very good at barking at the kids. She\'d sit in her office doing nothing while the cleaning staff brought her some tea on their knees. Another blocked cog. \r\n\r\nThe head English teacher: Well, she didn\'t teach so much as act as a liaison. She didn\'t get her job through integrity and wanting change - she got it through brown nosing, smiling and kowtowing. She\'d bring the director\'s/principal\'s wacky and \'I got too much time on my hands and need to feel important\' ideas to us foreigners. They\'d be pure dog shit, but our head teacher would be selling them as if they were perfectly pertinent. We\'d listen and smile along, and some poor sods would even incorporate them into their lessons because they didn\'t know any better. The head teacher added nothing to the teaching English aspect, but acted as a great supporter of the school (and its money) and ambassador of her agency.  \r\n\r\nThe TEFL teachers: most were good. Just wanted to get on with their jobs. Knew their roles and concentrated on doing their jobs while having to deal with the other\'s egos. The old smile and be polite. When someone has a big ego, it\'s easy to know how to massage it. Not me, though. It\'s just not in my nature. \r\n\r\nAnywho, there was a very good study done in the US on motivation at work. They (people who do this kind of thing) did an experiment in your bog standard everyday office. Everything was normal at first, and then the company started giving treats to the staff. Snacks, free lunches, etc. Workload increased. They then started, slowly but surely, taking these treats away. So, what happened then? Workload decreased, right? NO! It actually increased more than ever. Huh? The staff thought they had been underperforming so started to work harder. It wasn\'t based on the fact that they wanted the snacks back - they actually felt bad they\'d been letting their company down!\r\n\r\nWell, would you look at that! The company gave them a few snacks and lunches, and the employees paid them back tenfold. See - people are mostly good. You treat them with respect, dignity and honesty, and they\'ll feel an urge to return that favor. You treat them like expendable assets, with no sick pay, pay rises or a real chance to develop themselves, they\'ll just stagnate. Some regress and then feel disdain upon their bosses. All you have to do sometimes is give a little. But do it with honesty and sincerity, people can usually smell BS from a mile away. \r\n\r\n\"The hypocrisy of some is that we like to think of ourselves as sophisticated and evolved, but we\'re still also driven by primal urges like greed and power\"  Michael Leunig\r\n\r\n\r\n',0,'180.180.39.44',1,'2016-07-26 04:05:32','2016-07-26 07:16:05'),(5490,31023,'DHK','dpeterk@hotmail.com','Seoul, Korea','I\'m visiting Phuket now, namely Kata and Karon beaches.

A lot of people seem to cast a negative light on your stay or go situation, and seem downright negative about businesses and work opportunities outside of teaching. I have a mostly negative outlook too. I envision that Thailand in a  few years from now will look a lot different, and after just over 2 years here, I am just ready for new scenery.\n\nYou wrote: \nI have heard that many coffee shops and restaurants are opened as the playthings of rich Hi So housewives and aren\'t really there to make profits.    \n\nThis is very true. A lot of the businesses don\'t turn a profit, and if it does, it is not a big one and certainly not something that will keep you afloat and provide savings and security.\n\nLet\'s use the coffee shop as an example:\nA typical coffee shop likely won\'t bring in 100,000 baht in sales a month. I don\'t know that the rent and cost of business would be, but it seems that 100k sales or more would be needed, assuming operating costs of maybe 20k or so. Again, very rough estimates, but you get the idea. A general Thai coffee shop will probably sell a beverage around 50baht. So that would be around 65 beverages a day, every day.  I was good friends with the owner of a coffee shop on Sukhumvit Soi 81 years ago, and she realized average sales were around 1100-1300b a day. There is also significant start-up costs which will take awhile to recover. The math just doesn\'t work in a lot of cases. \n\nI threw in the towel on teaching about 4 months ago. I have been doing my online business on the side for about 3 years now, and the monthly income generated is finally enough for me to live on. The only problem now is that I feel like I am just wasting my time here. I have already traveled throughout the country and visited nearby countries. The initial bliss and euphoria has finally worn off, and I am ready to leave Thailand. \nI am not sure if you still feel as excited to be here as you did when you first arrived, but if you do, then consider staying a few years. If not, then plan on your next move. If things in your relationship are going as well as you described, your girlfriend will surely accompany you to the UK without hesitation.\nGood luck!',0,'108.171.131.178',1,'2016-07-27 16:08:22','2016-07-28 00:09:21'),(5495,31175,'Mark Newman','teachermarkthailand@gmail.com','Thailand','Additional info:\r\n\r\nIf you have a business visa (One-Year Multiple Entry Non-Immigrant B Visa) you won\'t need the work permit but you will need your original Residence Certificate, though and it has to be less than a month old.\r\n\r\n(If you live in a rural area then a letter from your local police station can do the trick.)\r\n\r\nIf it\'s in your name, the yellow \'House Book\' will exclude you from the residency requirement.\r\n\r\nA doctor\'s certificate is also required.

Why should ESL be any different? I know the system here perfectly well, so I can make fun of it. As for your \'foreign bosses\' comment; come again? We hold foreign bosses to a higher standard here.

You\'re omnipotent. This will just breed contempt and people will slag you off behind your back.\n\nOpinions are absolutely subjective. Saying I have a negative attitude towards Thais was never mentioned. I have a \'realistic \' attitude towards the \'education system\', and I simply laugh and make fun at it. Call it satire.

She doesn\'t claim to be an expert on teaching, but of course, she\'s still the director so gets bored sometimes and barks inane orders. She very rarely bothers me so I can handle it. I\'m left to my own devices. She pays sick pay and gives 12 month contracts. She\'s upfront and doesn\'t move the goal posts. When she does move the goal posts she\'s apologetic and tries to compensate fairly. She\'s far from perfect, but she\'s sincere. That\' all I really want from anyone; \'sincerity\'.

Call me OCD, but I like everything upfront and honest. You forgot? Okay, you get the benefit of the doubt. Oh, another thing you forgot. And another? You can see now why I might be a little pissed. Okay, so you owe me one, right? No? Cannot? That doesn\'t seem very fair at all. I seem to be bending over backwards for you, and you can\'t even get my work permit sorted.

She was supposed to be gone just for the morning, but there were issues and she ended up being there all day. All was fine, she was fine, school understood and life went on. Then it came to payday. She had been docked a day\'s salary for her day at immigration (which she of course paid for her own taxi with no support or knowledge of the system). She was so upset. \"Why?\" She asked me. \"Well, they certainly lack empathy in schools sometimes. You either take it on the chin or you complain\" I told her that if she wished to complain that I\'d back her up. They\'d never tried a stunt like that on me, and I feel they are exploiting you. \n\nIn the end, she got her money back, and I was told never to interfere again. I went out on a limb to help someone I didn\'t know very well because there\'s right and wrong. That was simply wrong.

You used a broad brush to paint everyone of a single nation the same color.\n\nOur nationality and national culture have a big influence on who we are, but it does not define us.

As you do not understand the language, what was your translation based upon? What she said or your stereotypical negative opinion of Thais?\n\nYou are entitled to your opinions, and if having a negative view of the industry within the country helps you to succeed, than keep these views.

I\'m sure there are \'many\' good educators out there but they have their hands tied. I don\'t blame them I blame the system. Going back to Thai bashing - nope. I\'m talking purely about the system. I neither used a modifier nor did I use the term \'Thais\' so please stop nibbling away at that one. \n\nAs for the comment about my director and me not speaking Thai, I speak Thai well enough. When someone points at a stack of messy papers and shouts, it\'s pretty obvious what they\'re saying. The poster board changed colour the next day so I also put together 1+1 on that one too. The director is well within her rights to have things changed, just don\'t disrupt my class to do it. If you act tactless, you can\'t blame people when they call you tactless. \n\nBanging my head on a wall: I\'m not trying to change the system here. God knows that blood will have to be spilled for that, and it\'s not gonna be mine. What I can do is make sure my fellow teachers know what\'s what. Don\'t take jobs with no contracts. That\'s a big no no. That already tells you that the school or agency are running an \'illegal\' operation and they\'re so brazen as to not even pretend they don\'t. Don\'t accept jobs with no sick pay. That\'s disgraceful that you\'d have someone work with kids and not pay them when sick. You know how likely you are to become sick working with kids? Get your work permit done ASAP. Don\'t be fobbed off with excuses. Keep pushing. Remind them everyday \"work permit???\" Even fast food workers have these rights and they\'re expendable (apparently) Foreign teachers need to stick together and stop being brainwashed into thinking that asking for fairness and decency is having a negative attitude. If you keep fighting to be positive (submissive), you\'re enabling your school or agency\'s abhorrent behaviour.  Don\'t do that. You don\'t help anyone but the greedy owner\'s and bosses who are not only stealing from you, but also the kids. \n\nMy philosophy in life is very simple; \'be nice to those who are nice to you, and ignore the ones who aren\'t\'. When I meet someone for the first time, I assume they\'re good. They start speaking and I actually listen. I remember what they say and initially judge them on this. So, they said kind words and they\'re alright by me. Now come their actions. At the end of the day, I judge people by their actions. See, \'a lot\' of (Thai and foreign) people are so unaware of the words that come out of their mouthes, so when they start lying and contradicting themselves, they don\'t realise that I\'m generally avoiding them because of this. But then you get the smarter more conniving ones, who\'s livelihood depends on not being detected. They don\'t like it when you ignore them. They know you know but neither of you are willing to say it. Me personally, if i was a lying scumbag, I\'d prefer to just be ignored by people who see through me, but then again, I don\'t have an ego or any complexes. And I\'m not a lying scumbag. \n\nAnywho, we have to accept the system. I accept it and just concentrate on my kids and the staff who are nice to me. I\'m certainly not the best teacher in the world, but I lead by example. I work diligently and with integrity. In the class I do my job and I go home with a clear conscience. Kids are very smart. They have a young survival instinct which can enable them to judge well. They pick up bad vibes and spot insincerity.\n\nMy last bit of advice for new teachers - you can\'t change the system but you can adapt within it. Do your best but don\'t \'celebrate\' the system. Simply try your hardest but don\'t go down that road of deceit and lies to get ahead. There\'s not much room above where you are now and it\'s a lonely place there. I\'ve seen teachers fuck each other over to get that few extra thousand baht a month and BS title. Don\'t be that loathed teacher who\'d sell you out within a heartbeat. Be a decent person within the system. If you can\'t beat them, smile and ignore them. \n\nI\'ve worked for 4 schools in total and have 4 excellent references. I\'ve had one great principal and a pretty decent director now. When I see idiots swanning around school, I mock them. It\'s funny. I love making fun of things. If we didn\'t laugh, we\'d cry, right? I guess I\'m just not good at playing the game. It\'s really not in my nature to tolerate this kind of behaviour. Maybe that\'s why I have so much time for kids - they\'re honest. But, you asked so I\'ll answer; where\'s it got me? Well, if you judge life on career development and money, I\'m comfortable. If you were to judge me on how I\'ve conducted myself in life, I\'d say I\'m rich. I sleep like a baby and have no enemies. \n\nNegative thinking is all about context. Are you trying to make your school better for yourself & others or are you trying to make it better for only you?

Last year I worked in 4 different schools and saw the brutal face of teaching in government schools with agencies. The agencies not wanting to make any waves, if there was any issue with any teacher for whatever reason would get rid of them. No matter how far they had to travel or the workload. I was teaching maths in a Government school in Pathum Thani and I was a solid hour away. All the kids had to say was “I do not understand” and that was it. Damn if they paid attention in the class, took out their books or wrote anything down. Then new younger teacher who were literally fresh off the boat and who I was helping - they were ok because they were female and apparently good looking. Thai education will never improve until 1.

From the head honcho to the cleaners, they all have to feel they have a part to play and are contributing. Often foreign teachers don\'t feel this and feel they\'re only at the school because that\'s what the parents want. Make all staff, including the foreign teachers, feel welcome, valued and respected, and they will work harder and more happily.  But this really is common sense. \n\nThe buck stops with the people in charge. These people are paid more and are usually employed based on their qualifications, skills and experience. The biggest skill a boss can have for me is compassion and empathy. Bosses can\'t simply demand and order. People don\'t respond well to this. Also, the boss has to be consistent. Either you\'re an asshole or you\'re not. There\'s nothing worse than having a boss who blows hot and cold. People don\'t like unpredictability. They like to know what to expect. At least with an asshole boss you know what to expect and what\'s expected of you. \n\nI feel agencies will become obsolete. We live in an age where we have instant information at our finger tips - BUT, schools need to put trust in their teachers. Identify the good ones and utilize them. Don\'t chuck them all in the same pile because that will breed complacency. If you have a decent teacher, in everyday on time, accommodating and affable, put some trust in them. Give these teachers more responsibility. Have them help with recruitment. Make them feel valued. Once they prove to you they can do it, have them as a head teacher. \n\nOnce they have been appointed as head teacher, they can recruit new teachers. They can monitor and check on new teachers. Pay them more and maybe decrease their teaching load so they can concentrate on leading. But! Very important - make sure they\'re still teaching. The best way to lead is from experience and setting examples. \"I might be your boss, but I do the same teaching as you. I know all the problems you have, and I\'m here to support you\".\n\nDeadbeats and jobsworths need to be identified and culled. There are too many in schools nowadays. I believe most people are good. You treat them well and they will reciprocate that. The TEFL industry here needs a huge kick up the arse. We need to get away from thinking of education as a business.

This isn\'t because of foreigners coming here with a bad attitude and a negative mindset of not trying to understand their style. Thai people are also distrustful of the police. And now with social media being so prevalent, we are seeing exactly why. \n\nI simply avoid any dealings with the police. Call it self preservation.

You very diplomatically said the system is far from admirable. I really don\'t know how that was perceived as negative. I can think of much harsher ways to describe the system. \n\nI agree that common sense needs to be applied when dealing with the law. In the West, everything is very by the book. Over here it can be more negotiable. The only problem with it being negotiable is that we are humans and have flaws. These things can be exploited by the rich \'and\' poor. The police have to take it upon themselves to prosecute sometimes even if the person accepts a payout. If people can buy their way out of certain situations, it can set horrible precedents and examples. People often don\'t learn if they don\'t have to. \n\nAs for thinking our system is better than the Thai system, let\'s look at the US as an example. The richest and most powerful country the world has seen. There seems to be an inherent problem in the training the police receive there. Police in the US can be too gung-ho and are only thinking of preserving their own lives when coming across even the smallest element of danger. \"To serve and protect\" seems to be very much lost on some police. There needs to be a huge shake up with the police in the States. \n\nSo there you are. If I\'ve been implicated in a serious crime, give me the US police and system anytime. If I\'m being pulled over for speeding or something much more trivial, give me the Thai police. I\'m a liberal, but I\'m not a bleeding heart liberal. People often hide behind \'culture\' for doing something bad.  Bleeding heart liberals will say \"It\'s their culture so we must respect that\". Let me tell you now - A big crowd of poor and angry Thai people didn\'t run to city hall one day and demand corruption in the system. No level headed person wants a corrupt system. It really only benefits the few and that\'s literally not fair.\n\nIf there\'s corruption in the law and justice system, so be it. Am I not allowed to avoid the system by abiding by the law and steering clear of the police? There\'s a big difference in respecting people\'s right to \'have\' an opinion or respecting their right to choose \'their\' way of life. I respect both. I simply don\'t always respect what their opinion is or what their way of life is. (And, no. I\'m not talking about the LGBT community)\n\nIf you run someone down in your car and simply pay off everyone to avoid any punishment, I\'m not going to respect that.

I get mixed messages. You implied that there is not major public transport or internet service would suggest it is small, but that  would assume that you are not in one of the major US cities where you say rents are astronomical, which is a plus, right?\r\n\r\nI suppose you are correct about the size of the city correlating to the efficiency and availability of public transport.  Minneapolis has a light rail system, as well as a pretty efficient bus system. I lived in Chicago 6 years and transport is easy to get around, albeit the skytrain is very old and noisy. Perhaps you are missing the \"big city\" aspect more than anything. \r\nI actually live just outside Minneapolis in a suburb 20 mins out. It is cheaper, less busy, and less stressful.  Rents have certainly crept up over the years, but if you live with a friend, or find a roommate on Craigslist, etc. the overall cost is not bad. Do you own a car? \r\n\r\nEating out is certainly more expensive, especially when over-the-top tipping is factored in. However, I learned to cook in the last 6 months or so, watching Youtube videos and reading cookbooks and online guides. I can make about 8 different Thai dishes, as well as many other things. Eventually, the whole idea/convenience of eating out wears off.\r\n\r\nI agree with you, and I am sorry I did not clarify: I also feel that there is a big difference between teacher expats and all other expats (working people, not retirees)  My general view is that teacher expats are generally lacking something in their lives, and use their experience in Thailand to try and fill that gap.

I fixed it up to improve the level of English being used but basically the storyline was their own. The play was called \" Bad kids at the fun park\". The final line in the play was said by a students that was very talented but hated school. The line was \" I was so scared I wet my pants\". Should have seen the confidence improve in the 4 students involved.\r\n\r\nAllowing students the freedom to do this now is not possible.

So lets set them up for the future and create new ways of doing things. An imagination is required for this.\r\n\r\nIt does not need to be as deep as i am talking about.

To have a Thai street dog named Monkey playing the Character of Super Monkey dog saving Thai dogs from Blacky bear ( The Malaysian sun caged on an island in the Mekong river at the Golden triangle tourist area, Easy photos) are a very useful tool for getting kids to read but more important to comprehend.\r\n\r\nSo many people are spending huge amounts of money to buy Macbook Pro\'s but spend there time using them to make money.

Add to this the differences in languages, levels of economic development and political systems, it is not surprising most NES teachers, even those of us who have spent years here, never completely understand the underlying aspects of the environments we work and live in while in Thailand.\r\n\r\nThailand is an extremely different place than countries with Anglo-American cultures and traditions most NES teachers come from.\r\n\r\nAny value judgment or value comparisons between cultures is purely subjective. Some people claim Thailand is a wonderful place to live and work and others claim it is a horrible place to live and work. Both are the “truth” for the individuals making the judgments but are not true in an objective sense.\r\n\r\nReading constant one-sided stories of the horrors of teaching in Thailand and about how Thais are bad and NES teachers are good is not helpful in gaining a deeper understanding of our surroundings. \r\n\r\nHaving been an expat for many years in many countries, and having done extrusive research on the topic, it appears the overwhelming results of studies show individuals who are less judgmental, open to new experience and eager to learn the language of the host country enjoy their overseas assignments more and are more professionally successful.\r\n\r\nMost of the research in expat adjustment has been done with business people, but it is likely we would find similar results when looking at the experiences of teachers, NGO workers and even long-term tourists or retirees for that matter.\r\n\r\nIn my overseas work experience, I have run into office politics, incompetent co-workers, shady characters and other challenges. But I suspect I would have run across about the same amount if I had decided to have a domestic career and stayed at home. \r\nPhil is making a good point, just because you hear a rant in the teachers lounge or read a rant on ajarn.com or face; it does not imply you automatically have enough unbiased information to make a value judgement on the situation.\r\n\r\nAlthough there are exceptions, in general schools want to retain good teachers, but what the school considers a good teacher may not be aligned with the individual’s evaluation of his or her own performance. \r\n\r\nIf you are going to read any of the online discussion forums for teachers in Thailand or occasionally take a seat in the teachers\' lounge between classes you will be exposed to Thai-bashing and rants, but one does not have to allow all the negativity that the ESL industry in Thailand is so well known for to pull you down.\r\n',0,'115.87.214.241',1,'2016-08-05 05:25:21','2016-08-05 06:57:51'),(5532,31176,'Jonny Jon','marchinlee@yahoo.com','Bangkok','I think the disturbing thing is the double standards. \r\n\r\nI was once in Chiang Mai and agreed to stay in a guest house for 5 or 7 days and paid a deposit for it and then tried to change it when they told me that they wanted for me to pay for 7 days at a different rate before I could leave even although I had only stayed for 4. Anyway after trying to negotiate with them a shouting match ensued, which did not get me anywhere. In the end they hid my bag which I found and then left. I cannot remember getting any money back. \r\n\r\nI have now discovered when renting  a bike or hotel it is better just to say “day by day” and pay that way and both parties are happier. Then if you decide not to stay or rent you just move out. I have also seen Thais getting into a fight which had nothing to do with them, and all stopped and 6 of them piled into a farang when  he had an argument with anther Thai or taxi. Some friends of mine went to a bar around where I stay and after 2 or 3 beers were presented with a bill of 5000 baht for the company of the girls who were serving them. It was not a beer bar and they were told in no uncertain terms if they did not pay they were going to paste them against the wall. In the end one left his passport and returned the next day to settle the bill. \r\n\r\nFor 6 of them to pile into a 63 year old is just unacceptable. There are many rip off artists all over the place which refuse to give you any money back once the money has changed hands. Maybe it is cultural understanding but it is also that generally and legally we farangs do not have a leg to stand on in law. It almost always works against us. Speaking Thai does not help, and trying to learn what we learnt in the classroom to deal with conflict should become helpful. Thais also do not seem to understand the F word and take it as a deep insult and takes a long time to say well it is not always that bad, and depends how it was intended. \r\nMaybe someone should write a cultural etiquette guide when in Thailand although I often Thais always think they are right because we are in their country and we have no opinion or right in the matter. IMHO. \r\n\r\nDriving around Bangkok on my motorbike I sometimes have got into accidents often involving another motorbike and a car –when a motorbike turned in front of me – and I hit him and ***he hit*** the car. The driver got out and immediately turned to me, not a word to the other Thai person and demanded I pay him money. The other driver just drove off and that has happened twice now. In the end I did not but I was amazed the double standards. \r\n\r\nStaying cool in these situations in of course crucial but there are double standards. How would it go down if a 63 year old Thai person was assaulted by 6 Americans in New York for whatever reason (not doubt a “misunderstanding”) they would be calling for blood. \r\n\r\n',0,'183.89.103.156',1,'2016-08-05 16:36:31','2016-08-06 01:30:04'),(5533,31178,'Will','williamputnamjr@gmail.com','Colorado','I\'m actually living just outside of Colorado Springs, a relatively large city, right now, but I haven\'t really settled anywhere and have been working on farms and traveling for the past couple of months.

No other is so heavily mired by stubborn adherence to notions that authority, tradition and repression play a primary role in education.  Knowledge and critical thinking skills are implicitly abandoned.  There is poor discernment in, even the recognition of good from bad teachers.  Using the quote \"we\'ve been doing things this way for years and it works\"  \n\nSteve Louw generates the comment that studies show teachers teach the way they were taught. To which studies this refers, he doesn\'t make clear. Certainly most studies in Europe do not show this, -  more likely \nthey deal with the way teachers are taught to teach, in teacher training - a very different thing from the way they were themselves taught in school.  \n\nHowever, Mr Louw is from South Africa, a country whose 1st language is traditionally Afrikaans, not  English,  which may explain the way he sees things.\n\nAnecdotal observation of foreign teachers in provincial Thailand may well yield a finding of teachers whose only prior knowledge of education was from their own schooling (often many years ago). These have tended to be people who walked round to a local school to find a job, on the basis that they have a Thai wife and are native speakers (and thus less visa headaches from the school\'s point of view).\n\nIt is of course claimed that now only graduates are employed, though in practice, this is sloppily applied.  I know of cases where agencies tell non graduates to lie to the school, one such person teaches in a very famous school. In that case, the person at least had teaching experience.  \n\nMany TEFL courses also fall short of the minimum number of hours required to qualify.  However, the course owners often have personal links with schools, and in Thailand, personal links mean everything.

I know I do.\n\nWhy do teachers moan so much? I\'m not sure that they do; in fact, I found many teachers here to be surprisingly positive in the face of exploitation.  Recently I had a Thai teacher moaning all week about having to pay a 15 Baht monthly fee for her salary to be deposited \'cos the school had changed banks. You could call her negative........or, you could say that she\'s 100% right. But in her words \"They only do this \'cos they know people won\'t complain to their face\". She\'s right. Sadly, many people (not just Thais) will pull shit on others if they can get away with it. That\'s why you\'d say no. \n\nAnyway, I digress. Progressives wanna debate the subject and conservatives don\'t. But what I\'ve always found strange is, why do the foreign teachers not have to teach in the Thai style? I see the Thai style in government schools is very much \'rote learning\'.  Why are we not expected to do the same? Why is the onus on us to be the fun and young ones. The class has to be fun! Well, it has to be interesting. Sure. I 100% agree. You\'re told to respect the system as a guest but not to apply it in your class. Are you indirectly admitting that the system is flawed, but you can\'t/won\'t change the mentality for the local teachers?\n\nTo finish on a negative (or a realist) note; I once worked for a school with too many kids in the class. No, literally too many. They were breaking the law. Luckily for them they had someone from the ministry of education on the school\'s board of directors. Inspections were a lot simpler for this school. Pointing out they were breaking the law would be negative though, right? Gotta respect the system of double standards.

Does becoming a teacher make all of them “bad” or do only “bad” people go into teaching? Or is it the fact they are Thai which makes them “bad?” How were you able to observe and evaluate all Thai teachers? Why special training or expertise do you have which qualifies you to place value judgements on an entire profession in a culture who are not from?\r\n\r\nOf course there are problems with the Thai educational system, as people find in every educational system in the world. In Japan and Korea which produces the best test scores there are complaints about the students facing too much pressure to succeed and tests often focus more on memorization than innovation. In the USA there are always many competing versions of how education should be reformed, with no consensus ever reached. Teachers, both foreign and domestic, in every country, bitch and moan about “the system.” \r\n\r\nWhile the test scores of Thailand’s students are far below the scores of more economically developed nations, they are not too far off what is seen in other developing economies. I am not praising the system, but one should be realistic about what to expect when working in a developing economy with an extremely different culture and political system than most of us are used to. \r\n\r\nHaving an ethnocentric worldview where one uses an idealized version of how things are “back home” to judge everything in Thailand will obviously result in Thailand falling short of expectations. But will all the moaning, complaining and expressions of cultural superiority help make your life in the country happier and you more successful on the job? \r\n\r\nIn my experience, admittedly mostly at the university level, I have had quite a bit of freedom to teach my classes in the manner of my choosing, and I have tried to do my best with the responsibilities given to me.

It\'s not always easy to know what\'s socially acceptable and what\'s not. You learn as you go along. But what is very clear, and stated in writing, is the law. \n\nYou may not agree with the laws, you may not even respect some of them, but you must abide by them. For example: If you get pulled over for not wearing a helmet when on your motorcycle, and you\'re given the chance to pay there and then, don\'t! Go to the police station and pay the fine officially. Some people may say \"well, it\'s pretty normal here to just pay 100 Baht and be on your way\". Wrong! That would be an ignorant assumption that this is what Thais do. \n\nWhen you apply for a teaching job here, make sure everything is legal and above board. Don\'t let anyone tell you \"well, we work within a budget\" or \"this is how things work here\". Again, this would be an ignorant stereotype of how the schools work here. Walk away. Make sure your contract is legal. A contact will only be legally binding if in Thai; this is no excuse for not being given a contract in English also, or a contract at all, for that matter.  The law states you work by contract. The Thai labour laws are actually very fair and decent. I\'ve always studied them closely. \n\nIf you\'re paying tax on your salary, make sure you\'ve got a registered tax number. You don\'t pay much in tax and you almost always get a tax rebate at the end of the fiscal year. Don\'t quote me on the latter part though. \n\nSick pay: every Thai and foreigner is entitled to sick pay as stated \'by law\'.  Don\'t work without sick pay. Your company or school are breaking the law. Don\'t be complicit in breaking the law here.  Know your rights. Yes! As foreigners you have rights, as stated by law. \n\nIf you wanna show your host country the ultimate respect, abide by its laws. Delusion and selfishness can justify your indulgent behaviour,  and that\'s why we have laws. \n\nMark Twain once said \"Give a man a reputation as an early riser, and that man can sleep \'til noon\".

But I think this is a poor criterion for evaluating how competitive a wage is.\r\n\r\nAfter all, foreign ESL teachers are not locals.  They don\'t choose to relocate across the world based on comparing their salaries to what locals make - they decide to relocate to country X if country X provides more opportunities than their home country (or country Y).  When I first taught ESL in Cambodia, the average local\'s wage was around $50/month, but that figure played no role at all in my decision to relocate there.  What mattered was that I could make more money in Cambodia than in Thailand - and that I was interested in living there to boot.\r\n\r\nSo say a recent American college grad is deciding what to do.  He can stay in America and find a job locally.  Or he can move overseas and teach ESL - and if so, he can choose between a number of countries: Korea, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and so on.  In order for Thailand to attract the best teachers, the country has to convince them to choose Thailand over all the other possible alternative. \r\n\r\nViewed from this perspective, Thailand ranks near the bottom.  China, Korea  and Vietnam offer significantly higher wages (and savings potential). So then why would anyone choose Thailand?  In the past, the main attraction for many ESL teachers was the sex industry.  Nowadays that\'s not really affordable on a ESL salary, so there are really two groups of people left to teach ESL in Bangkok: young backpackers who want to travel & experience a foreign culture for a year or so, and people who basically are so incompetent they wouldn\'t hack it anywhere else.  \r\n\r\nAnd neither group are likely to be particularly effective teachers.\r\n\r\n',0,'58.181.187.121',1,'2016-09-07 05:06:10','2016-09-07 06:14:36'),(5594,31274,'Thomas','thomashusted1@hotmail.com','Thailand','I think it would be more interesting and appropriate to compare Thailand to some other  Asian countries like Vietnam, China, Lao and so on.

I have friends that have also been here for 20 years, they tell me that they were earning the same money with more benefits, and fewer requirements back in the 90\'s!

I\'ve not met many newbies here who like staying home and reading a book. Let\'s be frugal again and say 8k a month.

I have little sympathy for people that just go through the motions, know that the job they are getting into or currently in is underpaid, little/no benefits, and no advancement opportunities. So why do teachers do it? Do they think they will suddenly get a big bump in salary? If I had trouble making ends meet, I certainly wouldn\'t stay. If I could make ends meet, but it meant sacrificing a lot, it wouldn\'t be worth it. There are a lot of educated teachers in Thailand - I\'ve worked with teachers who have finance, accounting, and engineering degrees. It is too embarrassing to ask them how they ended up as an ESL teacher in Thailand after attending a 4-year university, often paying in excess of $100,000. So sad.\n\nBrian: You also hit the nail on the head. It is simply a matter of economics. Supply and demand. Trade-offs. \n\n\"Add this into the lax atmosphere of the education system here and the armies of horny dudes who will work for peanuts to stay with their Thai girlfriends, the spinny young backpackers who want to take selfies for a year, so they can add to their mundane lives and improve their mating market value, and there we have the wage.

Everyone knows that.  I was an ESL teacher for 3 years. Received a 3k baht a month increase year-over-year.  It might sound good, but on an hourly basis, its less than $1 an hour increase. In America, I received 2 raises in my 8 months, have full benefits and paid holiday time off, and other perks. Two completely different working environments - it is wrong for a teacher in Thailand to believe they will feel they add value to their profession and be properly compensated/rewarded for their efforts.  While a serious ESL teacher can have profound positive impact on the students, and a lot of teachers do put in a lot of effort, on a professional level, it is often not recognized.\n\nTo conclude: I don\'t think wages for ESL teachers should change in Thailand. Yes, they are low - lower than most nearby countries. But they are low for a reason, and a lot of the feedback already received from this article highlights it. If anything, it might be interesting to see if wages could go lower....I think it would \"weed out\" some of the deadbeat, no-business-being a-teacher types, but my bet would be that if wages were suddenly 25k instead of 35k, there would be a market to support it.',0,'108.171.133.179',1,'2016-09-08 12:59:46','2016-09-08 13:59:17'),(5605,31274,'Jack','Upphils@butt.com','In front of my computer','Steve: Great for the short term, impossible to sustain in the long-run,\r\n\r\nJack: Well we found something to agree on, this was my opinion about teaching English in Thailand as it applied for me, but of course people are different and this approach might not apply to other people. Teaching English didn\'t pay at the level that would have sustained the lifestyle I wanted (raising children and help pay for their university education, visiting home every so often, living in a real home, having a car, and knowing where my next meal is coming from). \r\n\r\nTherefore I gained new qualifications, skills and experiences and moved into other types of work in both Thailand and around the region. \r\n\r\nBut because teaching English in Thailand was not the perfect long-term career for me, it does not mean it is bad, in fact without the availability of jobs in this industry I probably would not have been able to start my international career and life.\r\n\r\nBut that was me, other people may really love teaching English (I liked it, but did not feel it was my life\'s work) and are satisfied with the wages paid. For these people, teaching English (In Thailand or in multiple countries) might be a sustainable career.\r\n\r\nThe ESL industry in Thailand is what it is (and I don\'t see indications that wages will rise substantially anytime in the near future) , whether it is \"good\" or \"bad\" is a subjective opinion based on what one\'s other options are.\r\n\r\nIf the industry supplies what one is looking for, whether for a year or a career, go ahead and do it. But it is a waste of time and effort to try to change the industry (or the economic development or culture of Thailand) to meet individual needs or wants.\r\n\r\nYes, it is good to wear rose colored glasses (better than wearing the crap colored glasses too many old bitter teachers in Thailand, whom I try to avoid so as not to be dragged down, seem to wear), but of course everything is relative.

If you have the skills and opportunity to work as a university professor at an Ivy league school, coming to teach English in Thailand might not be very attractive. Although if you are a recent graduate looking at entry level jobs, coming to Thailand to teach while delaying the start of your career for a year or two might be far more appealing.\n\nAnd I would agree with if you put in a little time and a little effort in securing one of the better English teaching jobs in the country one can live a pretty comfortable and low stress life (Most of the time a person does not get a high salary in the corporate world because the job is easy and stress-free).\n\nAlthough this was not the path I took, I can see the attraction in making this choice. Sounds like making this choice is working out pretty good for you. \n\nThailand is a \"developing\" country (more like a stagnating poor one if we look at the recent economic statistics). Many of the ESL moaners seem to miss the obvious fact that average wages in poor countries are lower than in rich countries and teaching English does not require specialized skills or training which limits the need to pay high wages. The data I provided only showed (very superficially, I would be interested in seeming someone do a more detailed study) the  comparison to local wages, ESL wages in Thailand are \"higher\" than in richer countries in relative terms, although obviously lower in nominal terms.\n\nTo expect significantly higher wages seems unrealistic, although I am sure this is hoped and wished for by every ESL teacher in Thailand.\n\nBut if hopes and wishes were .....\n\nWhat you, I or anyone else posting here thinks is a \"fair\" wage in reality is unimportant, the only opinion that matters is the opinion of the market as determined by supply and demand.\n\nAs stated before, being a native English speaker with a basic education gives a person the option to teach English in Thailand, but it a choice, no one is forced into making this choice. It seems silly to blame evil Thai school officials or some abstract \"them\" for not making the choice one makes  more attractive. Native English teachers have the option to teach English but their are no entitlements which come from having this option. \n\nWhile every person has their own individual definition of success, one thing found in study after study is \"successful\" people take charge of their own lives as opposed to \"wishing\" the world changes to meet their own individual needs. \n\nOver the years, I have seen so many enthusiastic, bright people come to Thailand, get jobs teaching English but as time goes by these people seem to get stuck in the industry as they make no effort to increase skills or qualifications and then get pulled down by the negativity  found in the teachers\' rooms and online forums. \n\nIt is hoped to provide a different perspective to the constant stream of negativity and negative stereotypes which seem to dominate both online teaching forums and teachers\' room moaning sessions. I doubt any argument I make will convince any teachers already well down the path towards bitterness but it is hoped to give other individuals some food for thought before choosing the well-worn path towards bitterness and negativity. \n\nThere is a better way forward.

If you want to do a more detailed and sophisticated analysis, it would be interesting to see what your results would be.\r\n\r\nAlso the ratios provided would, in a simplistic manner, take into account cost of living as in general the cost of living in related to income level (although a more sophisticated approach could have captured this more fully).\r\n\r\nAlso I did not claim the industry was drying up, in fact I stated “the need for ESL teachers in Thailand has not dried up” but times have changed since the growth spurt of the industry in the 1990s when there were new language schools popping up everywhere and the Government’s decision to start teaching English in all schools in the country.\r\n\r\nSince that time (on average) nominal wages for ESL teachers have stagnated and real wages (inflation adjusted) have declined.\r\n\r\nYet despite that fact, I wrote, “my subjective opinion is English teachers in Thailand don\'t do all that bad.”\r\n\r\nYou wrote, “Thais are paying teachers (like me) so well”\r\n\r\nNot doing all that bad and being paid so well would seem to be indicating more or less the same thing.\r\n\r\nEven though it does not appear you actually read the article, we did seem to have come to a similar conclusion. \r\n',0,'58.10.52.225',1,'2016-09-17 05:24:52','2016-09-19 05:33:14'),(5615,31257,'Andrew','ashackleton@gmail.com','Bangkok','\"BTW, wait until you get in an accident.....as the farang, you\'ll automatically be at fault no matter the circumstances.\"\r\n\r\nI suppose that\'s the assumption isn\'t it? But anyone who has driven for the long term in Bangkok will know that this is simply not the case. I\'ve been driving in Bangkok for 15 years and I can sum up my accident history as follows:\r\n\r\n1) Girl in a manual pickup stalled and rolled back down a parking ramp. Smashed into the front of me. It was her fault and she accepted that it was. Both insurance companies came and took all of the details and her insurance company paid the lot.\r\n\r\n2) Guy in a brand new red-plated Benz didn\'t brake in time. He bumped the back of my Ford Focus. No real damage to my car, but his front license plate fell off. He was very apologetic and gave me 1,000 Baht for the \"time wasted\". I saw no need to involve the insurance companies, although he did say he\'d wait if I wanted to.\r\n\r\n3) I was trying to get out of a car park and the car in front had lost their ticket. I was in a hurry and decided to leave through the entrance. I put the car in reverse and crashed into the front of the Yaris behind me. Insurance came, everyone agreed that it was my fault. And they were right.\r\n\r\n4) I was coming out of a junction and I didn\'t see a motorbike coming. I knocked the guy clean off his bike but stopped in time to cause any serious injury. I was ready to take the blame until an eyewitness in the crowd that gathered pointed out that the guy had actually been riding his motorbike the wrong way down the street. That made sense. That\'s why I didn\'t see him. My insurance came, but he didn\'t have any insurance. They made him go to an ATM and withdraw 2,000 Baht to pay my excess.\r\n\r\nHonestly, there\'s very little \"gang up on the farang\" mentality in Bangkok. At least, in my experience and from what I\'ve heard from others. I can\'t speak for places like Pattaya, Phuket and Chiang Mai which perhaps have have more \"evolved\" foreigner cash extraction practices but I\'ve driven the length and breadth of Bangkok over the last 15 years and I just don\'t see that sort of thing as being part of the driving culture here.',0,'86.190.59.67',1,'2016-09-18 06:44:02','2016-09-19 05:33:14'),(5616,31284,'Steve Thatcher','steve1thatcher@yahoo.com.au','bangkok','You know?

I used to have a Chevrolet Aveo. It depreciated like a rock when I sold it after 5 years but was very reliable so I think you paid a fair price for your sedan. \r\nMy only suggestion to you would have been to buy through the Chevrolet certified used-car program as you would have got a 1-year warranty. \r\nCertainly agree with your dad\'s comment that car\'s keep you poor, being a teacher that was certainly true for me. Once the major parts of any car start to fail, costs mount significantly. In the 4th year, I had to buy a new AC compressor for 14,000baht, for instance. I always had my car serviced at Chevrolet and that usually ran to 8-10k. My way of budgeting for this was to anticipate annual costs, ask at Chevrolet about next service costs, break them into monthly chunks and then save every month. Chevrolet recommends a service every 6 months or 10,000km whichever comes first. Batteries and tires usually last 2-3 years so I found I could anticipate those costs. \r\nFor example \r\nCar insurance – 10,320 by next January 	(+860/month)	 	  \r\nCar Tax - 1,543 due next July  		                (+129/month)		\r\nCar service – 6,156.78 by next June      	(+770/month)		\r\nCar battery – 3,490 by next December 	(+117/month)\r\netc\r\nIdeally, you\'d also save a fund for one-off expenses like new AC compressors but I never did.

I would like to add 2 things to what you have mentioned in your post:\r\n\r\n1) There are some employers who do hire non native English speakers but they have to look white, preferably from Europe. Non native English speakers who look otherwise don\'t even stand a chance. Not in Thailand, I have seen job ads on Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese EFL job boards where it was mentioned that non-native speakers are welcomed but they have to be from Europe [indirectly meaning they have to look white]. If it\'s a non native English speaker from Asia or Africa, then the employers won\'t even bat an eye on their resumes.\r\n\r\n2) In Thailand, Filipino nationals do get hired as non native English speakers but they receive lower salaries than a native English teacher would get. For example, if a native English teacher is being offered 35000 baht a month, a Filipino teacher would be offered around 15000 baht a month, which I find highly unfair. If the school is in Bangkok, a Filipino teacher will have a hard time meeting monthly expenses with a meager sum of 15000 baht.

IMHO, in Thailand, foreign teachers are, to a large degree, commodities.. By that I mean they are not seen or dealt with as \"career\" employees, but rather on short(er) term employees.  \n\nAs such, I think the issue tends to have a rather large economic part.  By that I mean, in Thailand - rightly or wrongly - there is a premium placed upon those teachers who come from an English-is-the-official language country.  I\'ll say this again, I think an argument can be made that the nationality of the teacher is not a leading variable to their teaching ability- but it does say that (for the most part) there is a \"sound\" component that the marketplace (like Thailand) places a premium price.\n\nThe follow on with that then becomes supply and demand.  Given that there appears to be a demand for NES\' -- and combined with that a supply that (again IMHO) appears to either meet or fall just under that demand level, the salary that the marketplace offers must be sufficient to meet demand..   For non-NES\' I think the supply and demand balance tips.. in that there is a demand, but (again IMHO) the supply appears to be more than adequate to meet it -- therefore I\'d argue, there is no economic need/necessity for the marketplace to \'pay up\' for a non-NES given this supply-v-demand balance as I see it.\n\nI\'ve long said that IMHO the nationality of the teacher is not a (to me at least) and indicator of his/her teaching ability or effectiveness in class.. I think great teachers can and do come from a wide range of nations - some NES countries, and many not -- so I don\'t think the correlation is country-to-salary, but rather supply and demand for \"X\" types of teacher, as opposed to \"Y\" type of teacher. \n\nWill this change?  Perhaps, but I think the driver to that change would have to come first and principally from the marketplace effectively removing any premium on NES as compared to non-NES speaking candidates.

As it is a private school it needs to declare tax to the Ministry of Labour before the foreign teacher can get permission from the Ministry of Labor to teach legally. \n\nThey kept deceiving me in order to keep me at the school under the impression that they were in fact in the process of doing the work permit. My wife who is a government worker, contacted the Ministry of Labor and they confirmed that no application has been submitted by that school.\n\nWife contacted the NCPO to inform then of malpractice and failure to declare tax and all hell broke loose.

Times have been very hard for millions of people, but from the number of emails my wife and I are getting , asking us if we can work for such and such company, things are improving.\n\nSome things are clearly cheaper in the UK.  Beer and western food, for starters, I can still get a pint for £3 here - really I can.  Some beers that I like in Lidl are £1.25 a bottle.  My wife and I can feed ourselves to the point of being overweight for about £30 a week! Clearly we don\'t eat luxuriously, and we actually eat a lot of Thai food here.  but hey.

The skytrain and MRT are great, but need expanding  (and this is happening).\n\nOn the up for the UK side - if I criticise the Government, I won\'t be put in jail or re-educated.

Good to hear from you. \nMy Mum and Dad lived in Spain for 16 years. For 12 of those years they lived the expat dream. Beautiful house (one of the best I\'ve seen in Spain) lazy afternoons sipping wine by the swimming pool, great Spanish neighbors constantly looking out for them,  and evenings with a large  group of close friends at restaurants and bars in the nearby towns. It was a perfect lifestyle. They never missed the UK one bit. They almost hated going home for family visits.\n\nThat lifestyle all came crashing down about four years ago when my Dad was diagnosed with a serious illness and spent at least four lengthy spells in hospital. As great as the Spanish health service is,  the hospitals can be miserable for an expat when you have noisy Spanish families visiting the patient in the next bed and you have doctors who refuse to speak English and you have to rely on paying for interpreters. \n\nThen Mum started having panic attacks and my brother and I became desperate for them to return home to England. They both agreed it was time also.\n\nThey sold the beautiful house in Spain (for about 80% of what they paid for it) and they bought a nice bungalow near Stratford Upon Avon.\n\nTo answer your question Michael, they are loving life back home. I\'ve never seen them so happy. To be honest, we all think that they should have done this four or five years ago when Dad first got ill, but you can\'t turn back the clock I guess.\n\nThey can\'t believe how caring and fantastic the health service is. The selection of food has blown their minds and made them realise how much they missed it. And it helps that they live in a beautiful part of England. Their life consists of restaurant meals, walks along the river, concerts and shows, coffee in The Cotswolds, etc. \n\nCertainly not a decision they regret.

There is just one small problem - trying to making a living there having been an EFL teacher abroad for a long time. As well as this anyone with a Thai partner is probably aware of the onerous visa rules that the UK now imposes, which make it very tough to bring a Thai partner back to the UK. Factor into this that the government is not very foreigner friendly at the moment.  I always tell my wife that we can criticise the government all day in the UK, but they just ignore us for the most part. Furthermore the cost of living is about to get higher due to the weakening pound. The pound will get weaker and weaker because nobody feels certain about what will happen after brexit.

Also, I\'m not sure on the figure you came up with for the bills. A foreigner is almost certainly going to put on the air-con quite a bit when home. 1-2k sounds way too low, even taking into account different preferences etc (I\'ve never known anyone pay 1k for all their bills). I would say 4-7k for bills (air con, water, internet and possibly Truevisions if a sports nut).\r\n\r\nThe first job I had just oustide BKK was 27k (back in the early 2000s). It went up to 35k after probation about 3 months later, but the first 3 months were real struggle (and I had to take on lots of private work to make life bearable when on 35k!)\r\n\r\nWithout going into too much detail, I think 50k up is needed if you want to live in BKK (taking into account the cost of a decent apartment nowadays in Bangers).\r\n\r\n30k might be ok for a backpacker just wanting to stay in Thailand for another few months, but for anyone looking at staying long-term they shouldn\'t bother. The reason the backpacker teachers never last is due to many of them not taking the job seriously anyway, but also because the novelty of living on 30k wears off when they realise they can\'t afford to go out and enjoy their lives.\r\n\r\nHowever, supply and demand seems to suggest that there are still plenty of people willing to take a job in BKK for 30k (even less at times).

I enjoyed it, but knew it was not the type of work I wanted to make a career out of and therefore gained the skills and qualifications to move on. It was never a victim, I voluntarily took to low paid teaching  job as a stepping stone to an international career.\n\nIf a teacher wants to play the victim and gather sympathy for voluntary going to a foreign country and having the ability to take on a job which pays more than double the average wage in the country based on the fact the teacher had the good fortune of being born in a country which has the world’s lingua franca as a first language, it is best to stay within a very small circle of like-minded teachers.\n\nIt is highly unlikely the average Thai or anyone else will considered the teacher has been unfairly exploited and has no option but to continue to live in semi-slavery. \n\nBe an agent and take charge of one\'s career and happiness, or play the victim, we all can make our own choices. \n',0,'104.237.91.32',1,'2016-11-08 13:14:40','2016-11-08 13:31:48'),(5707,31436,'Craig','sameold_sameold545@yahoo.com','Roi-Et','Calm down, Jack.

There are very good jobs, but familiarity usually breeds some contempt. I\'d always advise any teacher to avoid working for an agency. Really, the best compliment I\'ve heard about any agency is \"Well, they always pay on time\". The bar is clearly set too low.\r\n\r\nI worked for two schools through two different agencies. Both schools were great, but the agencies were always a pain. Anytime anyone from the agency came to the school it put the foreign teachers on edge. Often it made people nervous because the agency were too overbearing about looking and behaving perfectly. They were obsessed with looking good and keeping their contract. That\'s fine, but have some faith in your teachers. You employed them after all. Both agencies paid on the right day, but you\'d never know what time. It was never before lunch and 1 time it was at 9 o\'clock at night. There\'s only really one thing I expected from my agency, pay the money on the day and preferably in the morning. You have one job.\r\n\r\nNow I work directly for a school and it is awesome. I have a boss who studied in the US so I can talk directly to her. There\'s no middle man diluting or simply not passing on information. She\'s a businesswoman first, but she\'s smart. She sent me on a course to learn how to use and utilize my interactive whiteboard. I have a projector, laptop, printer and awesome wifi. I even have a pleather office chair. I got an extra 5k for summer camp and a \'thank you\' because we had a lot of students signing up. That really made me happy. Even just a thank you sometimes makes a huge difference. It does to me. People need to feel the love sometimes. \r\n\r\nIt must be tougher for agencies now to find teachers. Salaries are still rubbish and places like Bkk are becoming more expensive. I know one young guy on 35k who recently quit. He said the money wasn\'t enough and he didn\'t come to Thailand to work two jobs. He\'s going back home. Thailand is an amazing place to live, but nowhere is fun to live if you don\'t have enough money. Me working directly for the school has netted me an extra 15k a month.

It\'s forced me to work on my Thai and the Thai teachers to work on their English. Our bosses are very adamant that we all get along and chat with each other. Some Thai teachers can\'t speak much English so I always speak Thai with them. The Thai teachers who can speak English always wanna speak English. That\'s fine by me ha ha.

The bit about student attitudes was especially relevant. I have had good students everywhere, but generally I was treated with much more respect when working in the country. I had students who were \"bad\" (as in not paying attention, not turning up, etc) but I was never treated badly, while in BKK I\'ve had a few students who were just outright hostile towards me as you noted in your example.\r\n\r\nDay trips and things were great in the country, but because there was nothing to do throughout the week you found yourself trying to get away every weekend, which wasn\'t feasible with the smaller salary. The lack of privacy REALLY sucks. Constantly feeling like a sideshow when out in town. There isn\'t a lot of extra income to be made.\r\n\r\nI\'ll have to disagree about accommodation. Yes it\'s cheaper in the country but it\'s also far less comfortable. In Bangkok I have a roomy (but not huge) condo with reliable fiber internet, a modern kitchen, a western style bathroom, and all those other amenities that make day-to-day life at home bearable. In the sticks you may be paying less, but you\'re also going to have a Thai bathroom (which was novel when I moved here, but man I\'ve grown to hate wet bathrooms over time). You\'ll have spotty internet usually. You\'ll be outfitting your own propane stove. Etc etc. So I\'ll gladly accept the higher cost here in BKK if it means that my home actually feels like \"home\" instead of a long-stay apartment. Those beautiful houses in the rice fields are certainly nice, but good luck maintaining a full house + furnishings when you\'re earning that 25-30k rural salary.\r\n\r\nOne thing that I will say, and I hope isn\'t offensive, is that generally it just feels much more... positive(?) in Bangkok. The slumping farming economy means there isn\'t a lot of surplus money flowing around the smaller towns. The middle class just doesn\'t exist. Which in turn means there isn\'t much growth. Sure a new coffee shop may open up in town, or a new row of shophouses gets built, but ultimately the places I lived felt to be more on the downturn as opposed to growing.

Why is the past tense of paint - painted, and the past tense of go - went? Sometimes it just is, Learn it and accept it for what it is. \r\n3. Too many schools do not do reading.

Their regular prices are the same for tourists and for residents. However, they will regularly hold special promotions for residents. (They also have promotions for tourists) The reason? They built a world-class water park with the best quality of slides imported from Canada. The cost for building this park was not cheaper due to the investment needed for the land and the facilities. Yet their regular prices are still cheaper than many other countries and  a GREAT value for what you get. Cartoon Network Amazone, is a smaller park with slides that are not always up to standard as they were purchased from an inferior supplier. They have double pricing at the gates for Thais and Foreignors.\r\n\r\nThe full price for Ramayana Water Park is the same for both thai and foreigners and still hundreds of baht cheaper than the thai prices at Cartoon Network. Yet Ramayana is still getting accused of being racist when they hold promotions for Thai residents. If they were to charge the same as Cartoon Network they would still have a hard time breaking even due to the quality of the facilities they have. They hold promotions for Thai residents because they want to give the less affluent the chance to enjoy their park. They allow foreigners who are residents to enjoy the same promotion because foreigners who work here, mostly earn less than they would in their home countries. \r\n\r\nHow is this racist?

Bit i always believed in doing good deeds and  thats why i found a contractor who was\r\nmore a charity guy than a contractor. He was introduced by a friend who had used his services  but i was still having a chill on this new contractor. But he was unlike other contractor..he was a step by step guy..always screaming at his workers if he find a little fault..he is the kind that does not want repeated works  from mistakes..he says its not worth  for him.\r\nHe don\'t ask for money necessarily. I noticed whenever advances were made he would buy a bunch of materials and pays his staffs daily without a hitched.\r\nbut finally all well and ended well.\r\ni believe i am one out 10 lucky guy to meet something good from bad.\r\njust a mote, i sold my home for a good price...good work , good design.

More hours in front of students for a higher salary would keep me in my current position while the newbies teach less because they need time to prepare.\r\n\r\nThis has not worked out and so I move again in the very near future. I have lived in 6 different parts of Thailand and changed jobs every time. Finding work is pretty easy and I do not need a lot of money.\r\n\r\nAs for staying where you are. If the school wants you they will keep you. I have seen it many times. I have never lost a job just chosen to move on. See more of the country.

I wasn\'t risking moving around and wasting my waivers allowance until I had completed said M.Ed. Stability and a suitable work environment are important to me.\r\n\r\n-as mentioned in my post moving far and wide is not something I wanted to do because of my commitments.\r\n\r\n-as for the school \'just filling positions\' that\'s exactly the problem at hand: they don\'t and won\'t accept anything they consider substandard. The main issue is the agency not being able to procure an appropriate replacement which is impacting on the overall relationship.\r\n\r\n-the school in question is a private school and off the beaten track therefore they rely on an agency to recruit for them. The school itself is fantastic and also professionally ran, the uncertainty is with the agency which is how I found myself  working there. It\'s not a case of the school breaking the contract with the agency, it\'s about them not extending that contract after the required current contractual period has been completed (they sign for a couple of years at a time, the current signing is up soon). My worry is about what happens next: i.e. They re-sign the contract and life continues on as normal allowing me to complete my M.Ed to obtain more security or they both go their separate ways and I find a way to go direct with the school. Going direct with the school is the grey area I would like to find out about. There\'s no issue with the school other than they will not participate in anything that is not above board. As I said, they do everything by the book, hence my attempt to figure out what sway the agency may have if they indicated to the school that my going direct was a breach of some kind of regulation. I stress, both my contract and the school contract with the agency will be fulfilled, it\'s the aftermath that I\'m researching, and what options are available to me. It won\'t be a situation that the school will \'find a way\' for me to go direct, it will only be a scenario where I can go direct with them if a clear, and legal method to do so exists. Risk-taking will not be an option on the table.\r\n\r\nAs for a 20% increase, I\'d be happy with 10% even, as they also provide fantastic free accommodation.\r\n\r\n-after my M.Ed my next step is an MA in TESOL, I\'m quite happy to work in a stable and welcoming environment for a few years and expand my academic inventory, and eventually move up the ladder at a later point. Without the former, the latter won\'t be possible. And yes Mark, I agree that most if not all of us are far from the utopian ideal of a teacher, but I\'m one that\'s a work in progress: an M.Ed coupled with an MA in TESOL plus 5+ years of good teaching experience and references (topped off with a decade of previous corporate experience I might add) puts me in a hell of a better position than some 19-20 year old fresh out of uni with zero life experience and nothing but a weekend lazing on the beach as a motivation for being here.

Imagine your childhood being spent studying with little time for relaxation. And for what? In the end most of them will get their jobs through personal connections. In the end most people do one type of job and don\'t use half of the stuff that they\'ve learnt. Perhaps the edutainment will give birth to an interest in English that might develop into more dedicated study later in life. \r\n\r\nI started learning Thai in my mid 20s and am practically fluent now.

Too many agencies sign a contract with corrupt school directors who only want to fill their pockets. If the students learn, or not isn\'t really important to them. All agencies have great brochures with information that makes people believe that thus agency provides plenty of experienced NES teachers with many years of experience. The truth is that a lot of them are NNES guys and I don\'t even want to call them teachers now. They are only there to fill in because they don\'t find an experienced NES teacher who signs a 10-month contract with a monthly salary of 30 K, or even less.\nI know from the past that these agencies have a hard time finding such people and they even look in tourist areas, approach people from English speaking countries and a week later they enter a Thai classroom for the first time. Some of them were planning to travel, but making some extra money and leaving after the first salary is quite common. I\'ve met ex- students who told me that they had seven different foreign teachers in one term? A shocking example was a 19-year-old girl with her 18-year-old brother and both were my students at a well-known primary school in grade six. They \"Waied\" me and I soon found out that the English they were taught at primary school was completely gone. After six years of high school at the best high school in town, they couldn\'t even answer the easiest questions. When they were in grade six, both could communicate and understood when English was spoken. Six years of high school, taught by experienced NES teachers and all of their English was gone down the drain? \n  Students have to fail when they are not good enough to do their assignments.\nTeachers need to learn more about child psychology.\nIt\'s time that somebody stops all the fishy agencies that pay so-called teachers, often only backpackers,  a 10-month salary only, many of them don\'t even have a degree. If a teacher didn\'t go to university, it\'s a very bad start position.\n The school directors are only interested in signing up with agencies because they make good money by doing so. The best teachers are those who\'ve got a lot of teaching experience and hired directly.\nA 12 months contract, visa and work permit paid for is a must and only shows how a school is treating foreign teachers.\nA lot of foreigners are long enough in the system to understand what should and has to be changed to see much better results. The students from today are the future of tomorrow. We don\'t need some shortsighted people who don\'t understand the importance of a good education.\nAnd when I hear that education in Thailand is free until grade 12, I only have to smile. Nothing is free and hidden fees have to be paid too often. To get a student into a school with a good name is already expensive.\n\nAnd if a Thai teacher who worked 30 years in a smaller town wants to work at a school where he, or she;\'s living the schools\' usually asking for 400,000 baht. people have to buy their teaching position. Students til grade 12 are not allowed to ask their teacher a question because they could lose face by not knowing the answer? It\'s time to stop this insanity, nobody can lose face, we can only work together and create a good environment, learn from our mistakes and help each other.\n\n  The use of Multi -media in class these days also helps a lot. I could go on and on and on all night long, but it\'s time for bed.\n\n  I wish all teachers a great time, please write about your own experiences and there might be one day where we all are united and have some say in this big circus called education.

His response was getting paid for your efforts (paraphrasing here).\n\nWhile at first this might seem like a flip answer to a thoughful question, after some thought, it might seem somewhat more insightful. \n\nThe term teacher and teaching are extremely abstract, and even a basic review of the research on education tells us students learn in different ways and different approaches work better in different contexts and as the author mentioned there are different perspectives from different stakeholders in the educational process. While there might be some general principles which apply in most teaching situations (showing respect for students, make the topic relevant to the student’s lives, be adaptable, etc.…), specific teaching practices will of course need to be adjusted for the topic, age level of the students, expectations of the students, and so on. \n\nIf you can get paid, sustain a career, see a few pay increases, develop somewhat of a career, then you must be a “good” teacher in an objective view.\n\nAlthough I suspect most teachers will respond with a subjective answer which more or less means to teach more or less like the person responding does.

For example, online higher education has become pretty well established and is provided by both totally online universities and as part of mixed programs of online and face to face courses provided by many traditional universities. Almost all American universities provide some courses online. I have been teaching online at a variety of universities around the world for going on ten years now, teaching undergraduate and graduate level courses as well as acting as a dissertation chair and committee member.\n\nMost of the work is part-time and the pay is the same as adjunct faculty members get anywhere in the world, while not high by Western standards it does provide a pretty good standard of living for those of us who mainly live in developing/low income countries like Thailand.

In a county like Thailand where you can teach kids with 0 qualifications or experience, I\'d say being normal is the biggest thing. Having a good work ethic and integrity will enable you to learn as you go, try your hardest and simply do the best you can do. \r\n\r\nBut let\'s get away from the teacher, and focus on their surroundings. Let\'s look at a good boss. A good boss is responsible for finding the best teachers hers/his budget allows. You can only work with what you have. If you take from the budget because you\'re a greedy boss, looking for good teachers will become increasingly harder and karma will rear its head now and again. I was given the job of finding new teachers at my old school and 2 of them couldn\'t have been better. The 3rd one turned out to be awful and was quickly replaced. \r\n\r\nInstead of whining and moaning about this guy being a bad teacher, I took full responsibility. I told the school to employ the guy and the buck stopped with me. I got a new guy in and he was \'okay\'. It was hard really. The budget was limited and their were no perks to offer. I tried to reward the 2 good guys as much as I could, but they quit at the end of 2 years because it really was a disposable job, and they were headed home anyway. \r\n\r\nIn the end, I went back home. I was in two minds when leaving and this swayed me. The final straw was telling the new guy that it was a 12 month contract when really it wasn\'t. It was 12 months if the school wanted to retain you and you wanted to continue another year. If you wanted to go or the school wanted you gone, it was 10 months. Lying to the guy didn\'t sit well with me at all and I really felt like a scumbag. Fortunately, he left after 4 months.  I decided that it wasn\'t for me. Loved my teaching, but hated having to find new teachers. It takes a certain kind of person in this environment to lie and not give relevant information just to get someone in the door. That really isn\'t me. \r\n\r\nI left early in 2016 and it seemed to be getting so hard to find good teachers. As I told my school when they complained about wanting good teachers, \"good teachers are not obliged to come and work for you\". Basically \'pay up or shut up\'.\r\n\r\nMy advice to any schools in the current climate is, if you find a good teacher, hold onto them for dear life.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I don\'t have a strong accent. I\'m from the south of England where it can be harder to pinpoint exactly where someone is from. I have a real broadcaster\'s accent with the non-rhotic /r/.  \r\n\r\nIt\'s always good for the students to hear different accents. There are not many accents I have difficulty understanding. But when teaching in class, if you have a strong accent, you do have to tone it down. That\'s why we have a standardised pronunciation as to not convolute things.\r\n\r\nNative-speakers often get uptight when they see non-natives teaching. I say the more the merrier. English isn\'t only spoken by native speakers. Thais often struggle understanding English from non-native speakers. It\'s good to have the practice. I think it\'s great to have non-native English speakers like Filipinos and South Africans teaching in Thailand. It\'s good to hear the more difficult non-natives speaking so Thais can practise their listening skills. \r\n\r\nI remember when I first met my South African friend at work.

Of course, the lack of better opportunities in the Philippines forced them to seek greener pastures but once they got teaching posts abroad, Filipino teachers did try to work hard compared to some, not all, white ESL teachers.   I used to train preschool teachers in Shanghai and Beijing.  These preschool teachers were Filipinos, white people from Ukraine, Russia, South Africa and Sweden.  The owners preferred to hire Filipinos although they knew that it was better for the school\'s marketability to hire white ESL teachers because of the parents\' preferences for blonde hair and blue eyes.  I understood why the owners preferred Filipino teachers.  They said, and I tend to agree with them, that the Filipino ESL teachers were more hardworking, less whiny, less demanding and stayed longer.  So, even though, Filipinos and white teachers might have had the same motive to earn more money, it was observed by the employers that the Filipinos performed better despite not having the native accent of English speakers.  I speak English with a neutral accent and am a qualified teacher with a master\'s degree in English; hence, my position as a trainer.  Of course, it was not nice to make someone feel guilty for slacking off or for being white since teachers just needed to do their work and mind their business and let the supervisors take care of the slackers.  On a side note, I had a whiny aging Englishman who migrated to South Africa  but he was responsible in making his own visual aids as required and executing my lesson plans. He was also serious about his work and not a slacker.  Yes, I was the one making the lesson plans for my teachers that won\'t happen in the Philippines which I told him to show him that teaching in China was a lot easier than teaching in the Philippines as noted by one teacher above who now has to write lesson plans and do a lot of unnecessary paperwork.

The public school teachers in Metro Manila are still better off than their private school counterparts with the 18,000 pesos a month and government-mandated benefits but I am not sure if the promise of Duterte will really come true. Even now,  his promise to double the salaries of the police and military men cannot be enforced because like other politicians, he overpromised when there are no funds for the hefty increases in salaries.  Aside from corruption, the Philippines subsidizes a lot of programs to help the entitled poor (I am sorry but many of our poor, not all, have become leeches instead of trying to work their butts and the middle class and working class like me have to foot the bill without getting anything in return.)  Oh, guys, you must also know that SSS premiums will be increased since politicians again promised a 2k increase in the pensions of seniors.  I told my pensioner mom before the elections that I was  sure an increase of premiums will be asked of the SSS members to foot the bill and I was right.  I told her that she would be happy but the working SSS members and employers who pay 1/3 of the premium won\'t be that happy.  Anyway, there are more taxes to be burden the working class and even non-working class so the proposed lowering of income taxes won\'t be felt at all in the long run.   The rehabilitation of poor drug addicts will also be shouldered by the taxpayers even though most of them won\'t really kick the habit they started in the first place.  So you can come back if you like but you will be surprised that when it comes to the financial gain that you think you will have here, it won\'t be as good as you think.  But, you will be with your family who should also be working and not depend on one OFW in the family to meet their daily needs.  I don\'t know if being with your family is a good sign or not since it will depend on what kind of family you have.  However, if you are exploited in Thailand, better leave.

There are definitely solutions and options but like everything in Thailand, you will get what you pay for. Here are a few pointers from our experience. yep, the water is undrinkable and heavily chlorinated and with other metals.  Forget about cheap seven eleven or Tesco Tresseme or Rejioce or Pantenne hair products (these are bad). Invest in some decent professional grade shampoo, conditioners and weekly protein masks. Personally i wouldn\'t really choose Villa but you may find or international brands there.  But usually supermarkets stock grade C hair products. If you want professional grade you have to look a little harder. We are big  fans of QOD Brazil brand hair products which are available at a few salons in Thailand. Because Brazil and Thailand are very similar high humidity climates, and Brazilians love the beach and sun, QOD products work very well at taming frizz, smoothing hair, treating hair. QOD also have a wide selection of sulfate and sodium chloride free products. And many of them also have hydrolyzed keratin and argan oils. This is step one to your hair recovery! use a good shampoo conditioner and weekly hair mask. \nStep 2 - High recommend a good quality daily serum or oil. This will seal your hair cuticles and protect against UV, pollution and stop the ends of the hair drying out faster, it will also help tame your frizz. We dont recommend the rather popular Moroccan Oil as its full of silicone.  We are fans of the QOD ARGAN oil sets-  again thumbs up to Brazil hair care.  \n\nwith regards to Brazilian keratin treatments or brazilian smoothing blowouts. They are very good and can give you sleek smooth hair reducing styling time to just a few seconds each day. But they do require care and you shouldn\'t really go swimming in sea or chlorine too much if you want results to last. Furthermore you have to use the correct styling products and sodium chloride shampoos or keratin treatments just will not last. A typical keratin treatment can cost anything from 3500-10,000 baht and may last 3-6 months depending on many factors. its about the same price as back home or maybe a little less, it really depends on how bad exchange rates, pounds, euros and dollars are doing against the baht. But generally in Thailand the price has remained the same for the last 12 years for keratin treatments.\n\nBut what if you love your curls and want to keep them but with less frizz? well they also make Brazilian keratin keep the curl treatments and another good product we recommend is a curl activator. it makes curls more defined and less frizzy. But rule number one here is restoring the health, moisture, proteins and oils back into your hair which Thailand sucks out fast, and then keeping it protected and locked in to the hairs cuticle. (argan oil or keratin).\n\nNow on to hair loss, we see this a lot at the salon too. Many international clients seem to suffer bouts of hair loss in Thailand. usually for no obvious or apparent reason it just starts after a few months of arriving. Stress, change of diet, hormones, water, chemicals, foods could all be factors and its sometimes tough to know the cause. In any case you can purchase hair tonics which regulate the hairs sebum (the oil your scalp produces). You see sometimes hair loss can be caused from oil scalp or unbalanced PH. we like the Compagnia del Colore hair tonics, they are imported from Italy. and i think QOD make some too. Another thing you can try is anti hair loss shampoo. and do not get coconut oil or hair conditioner too much on your scalp. remember less oil is better on the scalp unless you have a dandruff problem, but thats another story for another day. Either way these problems are going to require a few thousand baht and yes, Thailand is not always as cheap as people think. All the products that are imported from outside are subject to very high custom taxes and VAT. so quality products here cost more.

Religion and culture can shape us, but we\'re all human beings that have needs and wants. Thailand doesn\'t have a unique culture that makes them a different kind of human being. \r\n\r\nThere\'s Thai Buddhism and there\'s what really happens (same as all religions). You\'ll only truly understand that after gaining some experience here, and then you\'ll say \"Ah, deep down they\'re just the same as us\".  A shocker, I know. \r\n\r\nI find the easiest way of living here is to simply keep yourself to yourself (opinion wise). Smile and go along with it. You\'ll be told a lot about the culture, etc, when you arrive, but you have to see it and experience it to believe it. There\'s lots good and there\'s lots bad. \r\n\r\nAlso, people who say they\'re great never are. People who say they\'re holly and moral never are. People who say they never lie are liars. A person who is as content as you can be (through religion or rationale) never feels the need to emphasise this. They\'re not trying to hide or cover up anything. \r\n\r\nBuddhism, like all religions, has a heck of a lot of faults and flaws. Don\'t compare Buddhism with other religions. Compare religions with common sense. For example; happiness comes from within. I\'d argue that happiness comes from external factors. Family, friends, a good job and being healthy.

There\'s nothing wrong with having an opinion. Doesn\'t matter what\'s the country or the culture. You simply don\'t share those opinions with people who don\'t want to listen or have their own agenda. It\'s a very liberal idea that you must express your opinions within your own zone, but you can\'t express your opinions outside of that. Like; \'women should have equal rights to men, but in places like Saudi Arabia that\'s different. Must respect their culture\". Anyway, I digress. \r\n\r\nMy experience of the two government schools I worked in is that they had a heck of a lot of events. So many lessons cancelled to have shows, etc. Hey, if that\'s what they wanna do, go nuts. But why so many events? Are they beneficial to the kids? Simple answer I found was \'no\'. The school were taking money from the parents to host these events. These events were then filmed and photographed and put up on the website and Facebook, etc. The school were using these events to promote their business. Their school was strictly that - a business. \r\n\r\nI\'m a firm believer that education and healthcare are not something which should be allowed to be bought or sold (read previous paragraph to udnerstand why).

This applies to all schools and hospitals around the world. \r\n\r\nAnyway, I did the best I could when I was teaching. You wanna cancel classes to do some show? Fine.

Foreigners living in other countries often think the line is simply to be followed and you daren\'t have an opinion even with other foreigners. \'It is what it is\' syndrome.  I\'m always open for a frank and adult debate. This is also how science works. You have a theory and you welcome people trying to question it with logic and reason. Not with religion or emotion. We also loved to be proven wrong as it adds to the development of us all. We\'re not perfect so we must always be experimenting to improve. \n\nI\'m not American by the way. I\'m a Brit living in the US. I\'m also not a teacher. I work in the field of science. Yes, schools and healthcare are businesses here in the US. The US is certainly not the moral authority of the world. There are many of us here (local and foreign) who despise this and talk about it as adults without being offended. We talk about what\'s relevant to the conservation. I was replying in response to Sam\'s article. The relevance was to Thailand. Saying other countries have the same or worse problems digresses. Similar to \"Well, they do it as well!\" That doesn\'t make it right or in some way justifiable.\n\nI never once judged Thai teachers. They simply follow the rules of the school. I would be very critical of the owners and managers though. I went to Thailand to gain experience which is essential to my studies. I was employed to teach general science. I was asked in my interview if I could improve my students knowledge of science. My answer was yes. This is after all why I was employed. Unfortunately, with so many cancelled classes, I was unable to really do that. \n\n\'Also - why would you think that your classes are more \"beneficial\" to students than the numerous \"events\" that you disapprove of?\'\n\nNot really a hard one to answer. If you want your kids to study or improve in the core subjects like science and maths, etc, you actually have to have them attend the classes. I\'m not talking a few classes cancelled.

Maths was way beyond what I studied, and my M2 / 3 students were studying GCSE and even A Level topics from the UK. \r\n\r\nWhat seemed to be missing was that these subjects needed to be understood. The teachers taught, everyone passed, but only a few got it and got the benefit.\r\n\r\nIn my opinion, the ones who stood out were the children whose parents cared, and took time to make sure that their kids understood what they were learning. The best boy was half Italian / Thai, and he was exceptional. He would walk into any top school in the UK and not be out of place. The top girl used the word \"Encyclopedia\" in an English descriptive writing piece in class, (books would have sufficed). I had to check the spelling as her teacher.\r\n\r\nThe top schools provide this environment, so parents dont have to do it themselves. The parents there are busy, and well connected of course, as well as rich, so outsource this to the school and demand results. As with most things in Thailand, a little knowledge and effort goes a long way.\r\n\r\nI work at a highly rated uni, and we get students there from all over Thailand, and they didnt all go to excellent schools. One of my best English students went to Sarasas Thai Program in a small town.

The salary one makes as a teacher, first of all, is three times more than the minimum wage in Thailand. Yes, this is true. But when you factor in all the circumstantial costs, opportunity costs and expat costs, a Westerner making 30,000 baht a month will, in the long run, have a lower standard of living of Thai who makes currently 10,000 baht a month. \n\nPeople are bloody clueless. Consider the following factors:\n\nExpats pay for work permit costs and criminal record check costs, etc. \n\nExpats pay for visa run costs \n\nExpats pay more for Passport Services \n\nThais get access to free healthcare \n\nThais get access to bank loans and credit and local brokerages for investments\n\nWestern teachers are often paying off loans from expensive universities that cost up to 20 times what a Thai university costs\n\nWesterners pay more for national parks, taxis, and pretty much any other good or service \n\nWesterners were born in colder environments. Science proves that your sweat glands and optimal temperature are developed and adapted when you are around 2-5 years old. Therefore, air conditioner costs are higher for Westerners\n\nWestern Food that Westerners grew up with (although not a necessity to live, it is something they are adapted to eat) is two to three times more expensive than Thai food. \n\nThais have their family networks to draw on at all times and can share resources\n\nThais do not have to spend money to fly home for funerals, weddings, reunions, etc. \n\nThais are generally smaller in stature, so they do not have to eat as much \n\nThais are not constantly having to bargain with touts and vendors who treat them as tourists \n\nThais have more right to the laws and are less likely to have to pay bribes, get ripped off in a legal dispute or not get paid\n\nIt is much cheaper for a Thai to retire in Thailand than it is for a Westerner who needs x amount of money in the bank for a retirement visa \n\nThe amount of money a Westerner needs to retire in his/her own country is four times what a Thai would need in Thailand \n\nThais are legally allowed to work a second job \n\nThais are legally allowed to own property and a business \n\nA Westerner is expected to pay the lion\'s share for his/her Thai Spouse\'s lifestyle and family \n\nA Thai does not have to pay fines to immigration for not checking in every three months \n\nWesterners have to pay more for moving and shipping costs (presents, bank cards, documents, etc) than the average Thai \n\nThai entertainment, such as television, books and movies are also much cheaper and more available in Thailand\n\nThais can invest in their own furniture and not have to pay the \"service\" for serviced apartments, while only long term Westerners with a Thai spouse could and would be able to do this\n\nExpats have to pay remittance costs and exchange rates to move their money to and from their home countries\n\nExpats have to pay for Skype/Google Hangouts to be able to call family and friends back home \n\nIf they want to integrate, Expats have to pay (one way or another) for Thai language lessons\n\nIf they want to get married, go to a dentist, write a will, etc., a Westerner will have to pay a translation fee or premium for an English speaking service (unless they can read Thai very well and I have never seen this)\n\nAlthough paltry, Thais are entitled to social services and programs that Westerners are not \n\nThais (in slightly higher tax brackets) can write off expenses and purchases - like the genius first time car ownership tax deductible that Yingluck introduced \n\nThais don\'t have to do their taxes twice, or have the possibility of paying an accountant, tax documentation twice, and they don\'t have to worry about the residency/non-residency bullshit. \n\nThais don\'t have to worry about the work or fees of keeping bank accounts in two countries. \n\nAm I missing anything? Perhaps the above was somewhat rambling or petty, but I still believe that people need to \"Wake The F.... up\" and stop falling for this argument.

The process for getting a teacher\'s visa in Thailand (non-B) is anything but simple (as of my experiences with Jomtien immigration in May 2016 when I was last there).\n\nFirst, I needed original proof (housebook or letter from owner) of where I was staying. If the accomodation you are living in is owned by a farang (condo) then you need this letter from the Thai building owner. If you are staying in a hotel/hostel, you need a letter from the owner of that (whether or not they are actually in town/country doesn\'t matter to the officials, you still needed it). This then had to be authenticated by the city hall.\n\nSecondly, I needed to get my (original) degree certificate sent over from the UK. A photocopy would no longer suffice. It had to be the ORIGINAL certificate. \n\nWaiting for the required documents to arrived was a long and stressful process (what if they got lost in the Thai post?!) \nMy time on my tourist waiver ran out and I had to take a border run to Cambodia (getting a grilling of who I was, what I was doing in Thailand and why I was there from the stern Thai official at the re-entry border).\n\nI was then told to obtain photographs of myself including one of me \"teaching\" students, one of me with a Thai colleague and one again stood by the sign for the school name at the front gates (although when I questioned them asking me for pictures of myself teaching without a visa that allows me to teach would have been illegal, they became agitated and said \"I tell you already, why you no understand!?\" Of course nobody in Jomtien immigration office spoke English or even explained anything to my Thai partner when I took her with me. It seemed they didn\'t even know the rules themselves. The request for photographs was way beyond Thai logic and the whole thing would have been hilarious if it wasn\'t so stressful). \n\nI then waited for more than a couple of weeks for my monumentally incompetent school admin to produce the contract and proof of my employment document.\n\nIn the time waiting for this, my 30 days again ran out and I took a weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur, getting another 30 days (and another grilling off Thai immigration at Don Muang).\n\nThirdly, I had to take this to be legalised and authenticated by the British embassy of Bangkok.\n\nI was then told after that I would again have to go to Bangkok, this time to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cheng Wattana, waiting for several hours while this too was legalised. This involved 2 separate trips to Bangkok, the iron-faced officials didn\'t think to tell me this before so I could go to both places in one trip (luckily I lived in Pattaya so it was only a hour there but I dread to imagine what a nightmare this would be if I lived in Isaan/somewhere rural as Bangkok is the only UK embassy in Thailand (to my knowledge).\n\nOnly then after countless signatures and criminal-esque mugshots was my mountain of paperwork considered acceptable to the Jomtien immigration officials (although they did say several times in earlier visits that I paid them 10,000 baht, this would all be done \"no problem\").\n\nAfter at last getting my Non-B, I was then told by my school secretary that I would need to have my original deed poll certificate (my degree has a different surname to my passport as I changed my name) sending over from the UK. This had to be the original, a photocopy would no longer suffice. This was the last straw.\n\nAll this ordeal for the chance to earn a measly 32,000 in a country that obviously doesn\'t want foreign teachers there.\n\nAnd should you decide to change employer, be prepared to go through the WHOLE ORDEAL AGAIN.\n\nAt this point, I decided to call it quits on Thailand before returning to the UK, then onwards to moving to a language school in Italy.\n\nNot once did I encounter a friendly or even remotely helpful immigration official in \"the land of smiles\".

Some of my experiences  with TEFL in Korea (Gimhae, Busan) vs Thailand (Pattaya, Bangkok).  Taught for a year in Korea before 2 in Thailand. General comparison:-\r\n\r\nSchools\r\n\r\nKorea- A hagwon (language academy). More of a business than a school. Long, hard working days from 10am till after 9pm at night sometimes. Long days, odd hours and tiring but the students are more respectful and interested in learning English than Thai students. I pitied a lot of my students as many were forced by their parents to do extra studying on top of their already arduous schedule. Schools are more organised than Thailand and follow set curriculums although offer opportunity for games and funtime too, especially with kids. A lot of shady, hagwon horror stories but I got lucky and fared ok.\r\n\r\nThailand- 2 different government schools with Pratom and Mattayom. More fun teaching than Korea but I felt like more of a rent-a-clown than a teacher. Classes based a lot more around fun and games than proper learning. Students generally ok but largely uninterested in English. Thai students often lack critical thinking due to terrible rote-style learning from their Thai teachers and are more afraid to speak up for fear of losing face. Some very noisy, chaotic and naughty classes, particularly with younger kids (often leaving the room with a sore throat!). Schools are unbelievably disorganised and frustrating to deal with last minute changes, compulsory staff meetings in Thai language etc. Much more freedom in the classroom but far worse conditions (40 students to a class, dodgy facilities, some classrooms had no aircon etc). Some very dodgy Thai government schools indeed but I fared ok. Not recommended for more serious teachers as it will drive you crazy.\r\n\r\nVisa situation\r\n\r\nKorea- Difficult and expensive initially getting required documents (apostille, etc) and also fairly trapped to the school on an E2 visa. But at least no 90 day check ins, re-entry if you travel abroad and generally better once \"in-country\".\r\n\r\nThailand- Absolute nightmare. Ever changing rules and requirements for legalisation of documents to get a non-B visa, some of which were laugh-worthy they were such a farce. On top of that, 90 day check ins, re-entry permits to go abroad and having to leave the country and start the whole ordeal again should you change school.\r\n\r\nWeather\r\n\r\nKorea- Sucked balls. Blistering summers, arctic winters, typhoons and not much in between except a couple of weeks in cherry blossom season.\r\n\r\nThailand- Awesome, perfect winters, always warm and usually sunny. Just what the doctor ordered after a tough Korean winter.\r\n\r\nThings to do\r\n\r\nKorea- Cool mountains and beaches relatively ok but suck for the cold half of the year. Cleaner nature and some interesting things to see. Snowboarding in winter too. Cities cool but nightlife not as fun as Thailand.\r\n\r\nThailand- Awesome, jungle treks, stunning beaches and cool islands. Loved the crazy cheap nights out, pool parties, riding my moto down the palm fringed beaches and forests at dusk. Only downside is the polluted beaches/rivers in parts, especially nearer to BKK. A lot of rubbish, poverty and stray dogs everywhere which is pretty depressing.\r\n\r\nInfrastructure\r\n\r\nKorea- Far better, good roads and high speed trains anywhere in the country. Clean, modern cities with lots to do. But drivers sucked\r\n\r\nThailand- A lot worse but more interesting. Standard developing country affair of noisy, dirty and chaotic cities, bad public transport and terrible drivers. More \"character\" but can definitely become suffocating and after a while you long for a beach/nature getaway.\r\n\r\nPeople\r\n\r\nKorea- I found Koreans to be more contrasted, some very westernised with good english and interest in the western world, others very unfriendly and curt. More reserved than Thailand and oftentimes ruder too. I considered Koreans to be the \"Germans of Asia\" if that makes sense?\r\n\r\nThailand\r\n\r\nFar friendlier than Koreans but also more likely to try scamming you, particularly in tourist spots. Generally worse at English but more willing to talk to farangs. \r\n\r\nDating\r\n\r\nKorea- Worst place I experienced in Asia for dating (Korea, China, Phils, Viet, Thai). Loads of beautiful girls with zero interest in farangs unless they work for Samsung/similar. Humble English teachers particularly looked down upon. To make it worse, local guys can be the worst cckblockers. Although there are quite a few girls who are interested in westerners too. Only scored a few dates the whole time I was there.\r\n\r\nThailand- A single farang man\'s goldmine, lost count of how many dates I scored there. However, pay attention as a lot of them might just be golddiggers/hookers in disguise, particularly in tourist areas. Also, harder to find girls you can have \"intelligent conversation\" with besides shopping, facebook and crap Thai TV/music (but also some really cool, worldly minded Thai chicks too).\r\n\r\nOverall\r\n\r\nKorea- Sweet teacher packages (free apartment, flights, end of contract bonus and much better salary) but generally less to do outside of work (unless you live in Seoul or Busan). Generally attracts more \"serious\" teachers (as opposed to backpackers extending their trip). Weather sucks and locals are less friendly but the country is much more developed, modern and first world. EPIK generally safer than hagwons but you might get placed in the boonies and be the only farang in the village. Good for first timers or those looking to save money as you are totally spoonfed  with programs and can put away easily half your salary if you are frugal.\r\n\r\nThailand- Much more lesse-faire and possibly more intimidating to the first time teacher as you aren\'t babied nearly as much as Korea and with it being a developing country. More \"interesting\" mix of expats, some cool, some not so cool. Cheap costs but the salary sucks balls and it\'ll be hard to save anything unless you can fully live like a local in a crap, Thai-style apartment, eat Thai food every day and not party or travel, although lets be real, no farang goes to Thailand to live like a monk.\r\nLifestyle far trumps that of Korea (beaches, travel opportunities, nightlife, climate) and much more of an \"exotic adventure\".\r\n\r\nEither way, both destinations couldn\'t be more different to each other and boths have merits and downsides worth checking out!',1,'79.33.254.251',1,'2017-03-30 22:02:17','2017-03-31 00:06:36'),(5921,31837,'Mark Newman','teachermarkthailand@gmail.com','Paradise by the surfboard... lite!','\"Be careful, Mark.

Most of those people are from high class families and spent time studying overseas.\r\n\r\nI can relate to the problem of confidence, from both the English and Thai perspective. I previously knew Thai well enough to think that I was really good at it. I can speak, read and write. Time has taught me to recognise that I actually speak REALLY bad Thai, in terms of pronunciation and tones. Consequently I have lost a lot of cofidence to speak Thai that can only be overcome by immersion.\r\n\r\nLooking at this from the Thai perspective, it is understandable that they may have a wide grasp of the English vocabulary, but may be less confident in communicating, as they may believe that their pronounciation is not correct. They also (generlly) have less opportunity to be immersive and may be shy to do so.\r\n\r\nConsequently, adept, Thai speakers of English, are often highly motivated to learn a specific accent and concentrate. on learning the tonal inflections.\r\n\r\nEven now, I find that, even among my close friends, they are reluctant to speak in English for fear of making mistakes and appearing inept.

I remember standing on my balcony in Bangkok at night, looking out over the big city and crying my eyes out.  My world came crashing down and needless to say it was a very challenging time.  My mum insisted I stay in Thailand and carry on with my job as she told me she was so proud of me.  So I stayed but it was a real struggle and I stopped socialising and locked myself away at weekends.  Friends would come knocking at my door but I\'d tell them I was tired because I felt so emotionally tired knowing that my mother was suffering without me by her side.  I completed my contract and she amazingly fought for longer than the original prognosis of six months to live.  I returned home and boy was I glad to be there with her.  A month later she passed away and I was by her side.  \r\n\r\nFast forward five years, I\'m back in Thailand again doing what I love....\'teaching\'.   I was nearing the end of another two year contract but I\'d just signed up for another year at the same school.  I go back home as usual for the summer holiday and \'boom\' a bomb is dropped, my sister tells me that dad has cancer but that the doctor thinks it\'s not the aggressive type.  I calmed myself, believing he had more time.  Dad tells me to carry on, just like mum wanted me too, so I returned to Thailand after the holidays.   I arrive back at school feeling emotionally drained despite having a holiday.   There were many changes at my school aswell to contend with including a new boss and many new staff.   Two weeks into the term my sister calls me and informs me that the doctors misjudged the situation and dad\'s tumour was growing fast and spreading all over his body.   In a state of panic, I approach the new boss with this news and apologisingly told her that I must rush back to see dad.  She shows a bit of sympathy but seems more concerned with how the parents will react to me leaving so suddenly at the beginning of a new academic year.  She tries to convince me to wait a bit longer whilst probing me for more details in relation to exactly how long dad has got left.  The new deputy head comes to speak with me and she quietly reassures me to go and see my dad asap.  I flew out the next day and two weeks after my father passed away after a painful struggle.  During those two weeks I regularly corresponded with the school and uodated them.  The new Head and M.D reassured me that they were behind me and that I didn\'t need to rush back.  A few days after my father\'s funeral I receive an email from the M.D telling me that parents are asking when I\'m coming back and do I have a date of return.  The new Head also sends me an email asking to talk with me on the phone.  I thank her for her email and explain that I\'m not ready to have a telephone conversation but I\'m okay to communicate via email.  She then sends me a strange email telling me that she\'s sorry for upsetting me and then stops communicating full stop.  Meanwhile, the M.D is still hassling me and we sort out a return date which I agree too.  I return to the school only to find my job has been filled by somone with little experience teaching and half my age.  The new Head told me they had to replace me as they didn\'t know when I was returning.  However, teachers told me this employee was offered the job a week before I was due back when the school already new my return date.  The new Head gave me new duties including covering for absent teachers which I was okay with.  To cut a very long story short, I wasn\'t happy with all the changes and agreed to resign (with encouragement from the new Head).  Upon my resignation she assured me that I had nothing to worry about by breaking the new contract as I had done nothing wrong and she was happy to be a referee and explain my situation to potential employers.   She even went as far as telling me that she\'d make contacts for me when I felt ready to work again.  For four almost four months she corresponded with me via social media but strangely wouldn\'t respond to any of the emails I sent to her school email.  She was friendly and showed concern for my welfare in her correspondence.  So I start applying for jobs to start in the summer and put her name down as a referee as most schools ask for most recent Head.  She advises me to be honest about when I left and again reassures me that she\'ll be a referee.  Weeks down the line I miss out on job offers because she hasn\'t responded to them and job agencies treat me with suspicion because my most recent Head won\'t respond to emails and telephone calls.  Meanwhile, I\'m grieving for my father and getting increasingly anxious about finding work.  I email the M.D and ask him to help me scan a testimonial onto school headed paper than my boss before the new boss agreed to sign.  He refuses on the basis that I\'ve left the school and so has the previous Head.  All this, and bearing in mind I was a good teacher, with a good/outstanding observation record and parents were happy with the progress their children had made in my class.  I was also the only one of five teachers who stayed on at the school.  Then to be treated like this, for no apparent reason.

He can tell his friends and missus who quit her job when she met him how he arrived on time, taught his lessons and was loved by everyone at the school. Except for one person who had it in for him for \'no reason\'. Life\'s so unfair for James. \n\nRinse and repeat in many schools.

I don\'t think they were being racist **for the time and social setting** in which it occurred..\n\nToday -- yup, that would be racist/sexist, but times, social standards, acceptance have all changed .. and with that comes what is ok and what\'s not.\n\nI think for the OP - and others - who\'ve experienced this, I think it\'s more a matter of \"in the wrong place and at the wrong time\".... I do think this issue will change here in Thailand... I\'m serious when I say this... I really do... but it will be slow, uncomfortable socially and will met with resistance from the established status quo.\n\nI teach but at the university level.. and we have a wide range of foreign instructional staff -- men and women,  white, black, brown and everything between.. the key is how well you do the job.. not the visual... but I do cede that this is not the norm and will not be for some time..\n\nBut I\'ve met many parents of my students and had some rather candid conversations  .. what I hear more and more is that the number one concern from these parents is not the visual, citizenship or body appearance of their instructors, rather it is the quality of the instruction given, and by extension, the success of their children.\n\nTrue, this is in the minority, but I argue, it won\'t be so forever... I hear and see movement in this issue as more and more Thais go and study, live as work overseas.. and comeback to Thailand with a different, more globalized view.. and with that the notion that a person who may be Hispanic or of mixed Hispanic American ethnicity and may have a larger body frame can still be excellent in the classroom - it will be determined in the classroom.\n\nI don\'t for a minute pretend that all is well and will always be.. but I think that times change and whether or not we, the Thais or otherwise like it, what is \"right\" and the norm will change too...  today the OP may not be viewed biographically as desirable as a teacher,  but I do fully believe that in time he, and others like him, will be given equal chance to demonstrate the skills and do so with no weight (no pun intended) given to the biographical.\n\nDo I think he made a mistake? No.  He learned.. and as such, I think he\'s better off for it... now, I can\'t comment on his actual teaching skills and abilities - that\'s a different and important discussion.. but just from the biographical side, I think he learned what works for him right now and how to navigate today\'s reality in Thailand.',1,'182.232.147.34',1,'2017-04-23 22:54:58','2017-04-23 23:42:48'),(5955,31856,'T Mark','naisemama@gmail.com','Chantaburi','The over weight thing really need to be talked about in the TEFL courses as it is normal. \nI am slightly over weight and would often be called fat by the kids.

The lies your coworkers made up about you, on the other hand, and the nasty comments about your weight, are more uniquely Thai in nature. The Thais\' reputation for friendliness and modesty is largely undeserved, as quickly becomes apparent when one spends any length of time in the country as anything but a tourist. Back-stabbing and gossip are very much the rule in the workplace, and the national obsession with physical appearance has reached a point where even the Thais themselves must pretend to be \"white\" in order to succeed. Competence, experience and other matters of substance are ignored; the culture is shockingly superficial on many levels, and is becoming more so with the passage of time. I\'ve long since given up on the Land of Smiles as a work site, myself, though I\'m a Caucasian and speak fluent Thai.

I\'m tall and fair-skinned. This is who I am. Back home people might say that I\'m too fair- skinned. This bothered me when living back home sometimes. I wasn\'t doing anything wrong, but was made to feel like I was. Now I\'m in Thailand it\'s the opposite. I\'m complimented on looking fair.  Now when I go home I simply don\'t care what people say about me being pasty. \n\nI worked with an overweight guy before. The kids would often mention his weight. It was like they had turrets with words associated with overweight. It got him down and I felt bad for him. He wasn\'t the most confident or assertive fellow in the world, so I told him that he ever needs to chat, come and chat. Talking about problems really helps. I told him that it wasn\'t personal and it was just kids being kids. If he wanted me to, I\'d have a word with his class when they came to my class (I am a science teacher). I told the kids not to mention about his weight. It hurts his feelings and it\'s not nice nor polite. I told them that we\'re not to look down on anyone because of how they look. This is also my job as a teacher to have a safe and pleasant learning environment. This isn\'t an elitist farang idea, it\'s also a value shared by Thais. To think it wasn\'t would be to look down on the locals like \"they don\'t know any better\".\n\nThe kids were good. They respected me and understood my point. They liked the other teacher but simply didn\'t realize they were hurting his feelings. After all, they\'re kids and are still learning about life.

A know many good African teachers who have been fired because they were too dark, or too black and the students wanted young good looking teachers, which is why education rarely improves here. Of course agencies take a commission (a big commission) - 50% and more which is how they make their money.

Thailand actually requires by law people to have a university degree (preferably in education or English language) and will look much more favorably on people with TEFL certificates. I\'ve heard of some people getting teaching gigs legally in government schools without a degree, but this is the exception and most certainly not the norm. \n\nNow, this isn\'t what happens in many instances. You \'can\' get a job by simply being a native speaker here, but again, this \'ISN\'T LEGAL\'. Schools and agents employ teachers. The buck always stops with the employers to check their teachers\' qualifications and criminal history. Foreign teachers are no more obliged to work here than schools are obliged to employ them. Native speakers don\'t just rock up to schools with their birth certificates and say: \n\n\"Look! Here\'s my birth cert. It clearly says you must employ me as I\'m a native speaker of English\". \n\n\"But we don\'t want to employ you. You\'re not in anyway, shape or form qualified to teach!\"\n\n\"I\'M A NATIVE SPEAKER OF ENGLISH! Now where\'s my classroom!?!\"\n\nThailand doesn\'t have a problem with bad foreign teachers, it has a problem with people who are horribly unqualified to be anywhere near a classroom. These people are being enabled to teach by schools and agents. There\'s not enough money to get more qualified teachers? Well, \'Life\'s unfair\' seems to be the quote de jour on this thread. See! Other people can be just as obtuse. I\'m not arguing who\'s culturally right, wrong or superior. I don\'t have a complex and I\'m not a raving narcissist. I don\'t care. I\'m simply stating facts. Thailand can do whatever it wants. It\'s none of my business.\n\nThailand is a sovereign nation. It\'s a big boy and it can take care of itself. Thailand governs itself and makes its own decisions. Foreigners have zero input and I\'m blissfully happy with that. There\'s no reason why Thailand can\'t be like Hong Kong or Singapore if it wants to. Up to Thailand.

The poor and unfortunate are the way they are because the powers in charge are not qualified to be in their positions or they simply make bad decision after bad decision (intentionally or unintentionally) Exactly the same reason why there\'s so much poverty in the world\'s only superpower, the USA. Again, this isn\'t me being racist or supremacist, this is me stating facts. This logic applies to every country. Thailand has the resources and people to be anything it wants to be. I love it just how it is. \n\nNow, you can come back with your pettifogging and your race-baiting, I don\'t care. I just hate seeing disinformation.

I\'d like to think that the money we make isn\'t just for paying bills and buying useless crap. I use my disposable income to save and enjoy my life. I have a very nice apartment which I very much look forward to going home to. It has all the amenities and a second bedroom used as an office where I do online work. I work about 55 hours a week and very much love and appreciate my days off and holidays. If I have any more than 2 weeks off, I get bored. \n\nThe guy I work with loves to be at work. He comes in early and he leaves work late. He loves keeping busy and doesn\'t do much extra work as he thinks our full-time job should be the focus of our lives. He\'s consumed by his  job and always tells me the boss will look more favorably on me if she sees me coming in early and leaving late. I explained that this is just a job for me. I signed a contract, I do what\'s asked of me, and I go home and live \'my\' life. I explained to him that I won\'t judge his philosophy in life if he doesn\'t judge mine. If the boss wants me to work longer hours, she can compensate me sufficiently so I have no need to do extra work. It\'s not personal it\'s business. \n\nMy old farang boss once called all of us into a meeting. It was just before school term finished and we had two months of holidays and summer camp. He was basically trying to encourage us to not do summer camp and take unpaid leave. He did this by explaining that teaching is hard work. You need to turn your brain off and relax. Get out of Bangkok. Get out of Thailand. You need some perspective so get out of Asia for a month, etc.  Come back stronger for the new term. It was all very motivating and solid advice, except for one thing; with what money? You want us to maybe go skiing in the Alpes whilst not getting paid? Everyone just looked at each like \"This guy\'s a massive c***!\".\n\nIf you want to live in Thailand long term, you\'re gonna have to work hard to make it work. In my old job there was no yearly pay rise. In my current job I had to fight tooth and nail to get an extra 3k a month. And of course, there always has to be caveats. If you\'re just a gap-year teacher then go nuts. Have fun, don\'t do any extra work and have nice long holidays. If you wanna live here, you have to work to make it happen. Can\'t just romanticize being this teacher who dedicates his career to \'the kids\'. You need to find a balance and save for the future. \n\nThe old notion of \"As I get older I want to be working less for more\" doesn\'t apply to foreign teachers in Thailand. You want more money? You have to take on extra work. Simple as. You don\'t wanna do the extra work cos you love the kids? Enjoy trying to spend magic beans in Seven Eleven as you hit retirement age where you have little savings but great memories of how you dedicated your life to your full-time job and forgot to think about yourself. \n\nEvery school or agency I\'ve worked for has absolutely treated education as a business.

Yes, the future\'s uncertain but that\'s the same for all of us to some extent or other. I\'ll accept that you have the added complication of bringing a family with you but in all other respects your position isn\'t all that different from most 30-somethings. \n\nBy the time I\'d got to 32, apart from having a degree, my only \'selling point\' was to have worked in a bookies for five years or so. Like you, I had friends who had gone into something more appropriate to their degrees and were seemingly contentedly working their way up the greasy pole - long hours, time away from families - albeit for a bit more money than me.\n\nWind forward 20 years though and I think only one of those friends is still employed in the same field and more importantly hasn\'t been through some sort of family break up. Seems that in many cases, the \'success\' (moderate or not), wasn\'t all it was cracked up to be.\n\nWith hindsight (and I\'m sure your sister will agree), the skills I picked up in the bookies have been invaluable in later jobs - and more importantly were seen as useful by prospective employers. Similarly, you have 7 years experience where you will have picked up numerous skills that are perfectly transferable and very much in demand. I\'m sure you can list them better than me but resilience, confidence, and the ability to thrive in new situations are all skills very much in demand with employers.\n\nWhatever you do, don\'t listen to the doom-mongers and their talk of stacking shelves at Poundland. Do that if you have to and use it as a stepping stone. In my experience (and in that of most people I know), the right opportunity will come along.

Thanks for sharing. I had an almost similar experience.. lived and worked in Thailand 6 years (3 or 4 years too much in hindsight) then moved back to the US at age 32.  Moving back was hard at first, but I adjusted much faster than I thought I would.  It took me a few weeks to get settled and back in the groove. \r\n\r\nYou are right on some points...I had a hard time finding a job that matched my skill set and interests (finance - should have been easy, right?)  and most recruiters and interviewers looked unfavorably on my years in Thailand.  It\'s definitely hard to ignore the fact that companies are looking for good, dependable candidates and have to wonder about why I was even in Thailand in the first place. The interviews were awkward so start prepping a good \"my journey story\" now to prepare because I can assure you, it will come up.\r\n\r\nIt took me nearly 2 years of accepting contractor/temp roles here in the USA until I finally got the  permanent, full-time role with benefits that I wanted.  So yeah, it might be a struggle...but it depends on the industry you are in and what your goals are. I live in a fairly big and growing city and did not think it would be this difficult.\r\n\r\nHope you visa issues go well for your son and your wife. Not sure if things are easier in the UK, but regardless,  it seems the paperwork always takes longer than expected.\r\n\r\nOne question. I found this a bit out of place:\r\n\r\n \"I was content with my life as a teacher and my wife and I planned to open our own language school in her hometown.\"\r\n\r\nWas this her idea or yours? (Never mind. I already know the answer).  In fact, I have heard this \"idea\" circulated a lot. Maybe 8-10 times over the years. That\'s my concern....\r\n\r\nRegardless, good luck to you and your family. Stay focused on the big picture. Take the good experiences you had in Thailand and keep them, and learn from the bad ones. Thank you for pointing out the many pitfalls in your story. I think a lot of teachers don\'t like to talk about the negatives, but it sure seems as of late that they are starting to be discussed more and more, which will certainly help inexperienced and potential free spirits to at least reconsider their options.\r\n\r\n',1,'71.195.8.75',1,'2017-05-20 23:49:43','2017-05-21 11:20:24'),(6015,31886,'Jamie','jamieiankirk@gmail.com','Bangkok','Great read (And also the comments).

I gave it up to get a normal 9-5 job so I could spend more time with my girlfriend. About 50 teachers came and left in my period. There were a lot of wrong \'uns but also a few gems. These gems are still my good friends today. But I\'d like to talk about my old director of studies. \n\nMy old director of studies was this burly English guy who seemingly barely got past his GCSEs. He got the job because he played the game and had been there longer than everyone else. This guy had sold his soul for a paycheck of about 60,000 a month. I remember first meeting him for an interview and just getting bad vibes from him. He was socially awkward and was completely inept. Never trust a man who doesn\'t make eye contact. \n\nDuring my two years at the centre I was only late once. I had half a sick day (even though my boss wanted me to not go home \'cos he was too lazy to cover me), and I had students signing up again to learn with me. It was all good. I kept busy teaching 30+ hours a week, and my boss kept busy leaving me alone and looking busy himself. But as with any inept boss who fears losing their job, they can\'t help themselves by breaking things that are not broken. \n\nHe did many dishonest and stupid things, but I\'d like to recall my first problem with him. I worked six days a week. I was lucky my schedule was always Mon-Fri and stayed that way \'cos many students wanted to learn with me. I chose to do Saturdays as an extra. My usual hours were 12.00-20.30 - Mon-Fri. \n\nOne day, my schedule said I was done at 6pm on a Friday. Wahoo! I never got to leave early. So, on the Friday I was all set to clock out and have a beer. He called me into the office and asked for a “massive favour\". He asked me to cover a part-time teacher from 6.30-8.30 as she had to go to hospital. Now, I really didn\'t want to have to do it, but he said he really needed me to. I also \'assumed\' I\'d get the money from the class as she was part-time. I said yes and ruined my beer time. Come the end of the month there was no extra money for the class. My boss said I was contracted a certain amount of hours and I was below my quota. I said that wasn\'t fair and he should have told me at the time. I still would have covered the class, but I appreciate honesty. He obtusely said \'You could have just said no\". \n\nFrom there on in, he\'d ruined any trust and decency between the two of us. Any classes that needed to be covered were met with \"Oh, I\'m so busy marking tests and proof reading\". He knew it was BS, but because he was an inept boss, he didn\'t know how to take control. He went off and printed a poster saying \"Teachers must cover classes when asked!\". A real manchild in charge of 30+ teachers. \n\nThe second incident I had was with a private student who signed up for 80 hours. A great guy who travelled for work so just wanted to chat and practise his English. Well, one night I had a few beers and forgot to set my alarm. I woke up at 10am to a phone call from the sales girl, \"Where are you?\". I apologised and asked if someone could cover me. They said my student didn’t want a different teacher, so don\'t worry. My student said it was no problem. He will see me tomorrow. Come the end of the month - my boss docked me the equivalent of 2 hours part-time from my salary. If another teacher had covered me, I wouldn\'t have been docked he told me. He had got his revenge. Unfortunately for me, my student cared about who was teaching him. I ended up just sticking two extra hours down on my extra pay sheet and they paid me anyway. Again, my boss was totally inept and just assumed I never lied on my pay sheet. I only did it that one time. \n\nThe 3rd example incident is the reason why you take care of your staff and don\'t try to cheat them. My boss, after all the shitty and underhand tricks he played on people, asked me to work on Saturdays at a different centre. A centre far away from where I live. I thought it was just to cover a course. Maybe 20-40 hours and then be back to my local branch where I was contracted to work. I agreed to cover there for no more than 8 Saturdays. He said, \"Great! But if we need you there permanently on a Saturday, you can do that, right?\" I knew exactly what he was doing and I just said \"You know what? The course you want me to cover - I\'m not sure I can cover it now. Let me go away and think about\". He replied sarcastically, \"You\'ll think about it???\" And I never covered that class. \n\nMy language centre was very busy back then. I pretty much always had a full schedule where other teachers didn\'t. Teachers who weren\'t so popular (but on the same money as everyone else) were given mundane tasks like putting all the books in order. That took about 10 mins and it was back to twiddling their thumbs again. I didn\'t care that they were earning the same as it wasn\'t my business and I\'d rather be teaching than sat doing nothing. \n\nI\'m pretty sure my old boss was fired about a month before I left. They said he went home for a holiday, but he never returned. The Thai owner did his job for the last month. I knew something had happened to him so I offered my services to help. She admitted that they didn\'t actually need anyone to do this job. All he did was create schedules for teachers and find new teachers. She could do that. She then began to ask questions like, “what exactly did he do?”. I ripped the “teachers have to cover!” sign off the notice board and said “He made signs like this when his tricks didn’t work and he didn’t know how to assert himself”. She just smiled looking baffled. \n\nI’ve worked under four foreigners. The first one was fantastic. A fully qualified teacher with his own business who really wanted to be the best. The thing I liked the most about him was his honesty. He would admit his mistakes which made him very humble and easy to get on with. The next three were just terrible people. They weren’t qualified to manage and certainly didn’t have the experience to be in control of anything. Perish the thought they ever had to teach an unruly class of young learners. They’d be a shivering mess in the corner after the lesson had finished. But they always had a stupid answer for when things went wrong. It was never constructive and their arrogance just did more harm.\n\nMaybe if all these unqualified teachers out there had a qualified boss it wouldn’t be so bad. Someone who knows how to manage people and utilize them. Reward the good ones and dispose of the bad ones quickly. Instead, they tried to manage by lying and cheating. They thought that being a boss gave them some kind of omnipotence. That they could constantly lie and cheat people making 35k a month and these people would never ask questions nor just walk out one day. “Party Paul has really left us in the shit today! He’s not picking up his phone and Dave saw him down Cowboy last night”. Yea, creatures of habit behaving like creatures of habit – shocking!\n',0,'137.74.154.248',1,'2017-06-01 02:11:50','2017-06-01 02:15:44'),(6028,30533,'Mark Newman','teachermarkthailand@gmail.com','A.

Jack, you are a hypocritical, reprehensible and loathsome apologist.  \r\n\r\nNow, I agree with the academic studies 100%. But where do we draw the line in as much as where they apply geographically? Jack has referenced more than one academic study that we are supposed to take as gospel as it was written by....academics. They were written by academics, therefore, they are truer than any opinion. Only one small problem, Jack has made his arguments culturally unique.  \r\n\r\nThere are no rights and wrongs. There are cultural rights and wrongs. So how does academic research apply to this idea for \'unique\' cultures? Looking down your nose at somebody because they\'re a darker tone of skin is WRONG. Being born of a country with a unique culture and being told from a young age that you\'re better because you\'re fairer skinned is CULTURE.

There is reasoning behind this.\r\n\r\nOutside of these industries, especially in poorer areas of Thailand such as the north, English language is continually lacking in quality & presence - even more so among the older generations.\r\n\r\nI am not a sociologist by any means, but from talking to my Mum and her Thai family about why it is that even though English is taught in schools it is not regulatory applied by  local Thai people, the answer is as follows:\r\n\r\nIf there is no reason for a Thai person to use the English language on a regular/daily basis,  once you are out of education [If you actually focused and learnt to speak English well in school] you will end up forgetting how speak English. \r\n\r\nA rule with all languages: \"If you don\'t use it, you lose it.\" meaning those who get to talk to English speakers as part of their jobs will be getting regular refreshers in English, whereas a truck driver will not be.\r\n\r\nAlthough there is much more than the above point as to the reasoning behind English skills lacking across Thailand, I truly believe this is the main point for most Thai people.\r\n\r\nSecond point to note is - Culture:\r\n\r\nThere is a strong cultural national pride in Thailand, and being well spoken in Thai, and focusing inwardly [On Thai focused roles not needing foreign influence] is often considered a much better and more authentically \"Thai\" lifestyle choice and in turn makes you a better Thai person compared to those going down a path that focuses on the growing plague foreigners sunning it up and buying fake clothes in night markets. I won\'t get started on the bar girls and how they are viewed to by the higher class Thai people.\r\n\r\nAnd my final point - Ignorance is bliss:\r\n\r\nJust like how so many English people I know couldn\'t care less about learning a new language [even if they like travelling], for what ever reason that may be, there is the same belief held in parts of Thailand.\r\n\r\n\"I am Thai, why should I need to learn English if I will never need to speak, or write in English in my life time?\" - My mum\'s Brother.\r\n\r\nThailand is much poorer than EU & NA countries,  meaning holidays to English speaking places is not on the books for many Thai people. Its pretty easy to see why Thai people wouldn\'t be bothered to learn a language they wouldn\'t need to use, especially if most of their time is taking up doing work that doesn\'t have a requirement for additional language.\r\n\r\nTo conclude,\r\nI don\'t believe this inward facing ideology is a good thing for Thai people, but it is part of Thailand\'s culture and must be respected.  Just like in the UK, the older generations culture/beliefs don\'t care for much foreign language skills, neither do some Thai people. \r\nThis being said, I believe it is a passing ideology and people will adapt and evolve as the world globalises more and more each year. \r\nBut for now, a farmer isn\'t going to give a cr*p if you think its weird he can\'t speak English even though he spent 2100 hours learning English in school - He\'s just going to go about his day, speaking Thai to other Thai people and not speaking English because he doesn\'t need to like he always has done until he\'s reincarnated.\r\n\r\nTL;DR - \r\nPoint one:\r\nIf there is no need to speak it, people won\'t learn/remember it.\r\nPoint two:\r\nThailand is not as fortunate as EU and NA countries, career prospects that involve foreign language skills are not as readily as available/required as overseas. \r\nPoint three:\r\nPeople don\'t care too much about change until its on their door step. Until then, Thai people will stick to their own customs and lives.',1,'82.14.96.133',1,'2017-06-11 22:52:22','2017-06-12 00:04:45'),(6044,31925,'Craig','craig_zlist96@gmail.com','Bangkok','I worked for a school once where there was no contract. They told me that there was no point in drawing up a contract in English as it\'s only legal when in Thai. I was the only person with the balls in the room to state, \"Have it in Thai and translated to English. The Thai contract is legal. We just need it translated to English for reference\". Well, I was straight into the bad books with the boss for stating the obvious there. NEVER EVER EVER work without a contract. It\'s completely illegal.\n\nThat was a pretty shitty job, so I was looking all the time for a new job. No contract means I can leave via Line on the day, right? I\'m not obliged to give any notice. Well, my kids deserve better so I wouldn\'t leave without giving 30 days notice. Someone has to have some morals. \n\nI applied for a job that was walking distance from where I live. Seemed like a perfectly suited job for me . I went to the interview and I pretty much had the job bagged from the moment I walked in. Then came the contract question;\n\n\"This is of course a 12-month contract, right?\"\n\"Oh no. We only offer 10-month contracts here\"\n\"Well I\'m on a 12-month contract now\" (she didn\'t need to know I had no contract)\n\"Let me see what I can do\"\n\nShe called me later that day with \'good news\'. They couldn\'t offer me 12 months but they could offer 10.5. As soon as she said that I was on the fine line of firing a load of fucks into her or just hanging up. I just hung up. \n\nTeachers here really need to use their numbers. They need to stick together and start saying \"no more\". If something is put into  the contract and you sign it, fair enough. But when they start adding stuff just for the sake of it, say NO!. You didn\'t agree to this. My old school said they weren\'t going to pay us for when it flooded in 2011. We all said we would quit 2 days before we were due back unless we were paid in full. Guess what? We got paid.

They can bugger off and see a bit of the country. \r\n\r\nAlso - you go into this with your eyes open. I don\'t see a problem with this.  (I\'d personally hate it as I have a mortgage and a real life here.) \r\n\r\n2 - Health insurance is expensive (depending on what you expect the school to cover you for) and the free insurance that I get with my school actually isn\'t all that much use.  Better to go private.\r\n\r\n3 - Docking your pay for being a few minutes late is simply mean-spirited and vindictive. If your school does this they\'re being an asshole... although this might possibly be school policy if there are a large number of farangs at the school who are also being dicks.\r\n\r\nI took nine days off two years ago when I had a really bad flu. Still got paid in full. It\'s a salary, not an hourly paid job and you\'re allowed to be sick... but being late in my view is unforgivable.  Don\'t be late... ever.\r\n\r\nAlso - if a teacher is complaining that he has been docked money for being a few minutes late, I strongly suspect there\'s more going on that he isn\'t saying.\r\n\r\n4 - Overcrowded staff rooms? Seriously? You can\'t be arsed to go to the library or somewhere else? This is a problem the teacher can fix.\r\n\r\n5 - It\'s nice to have computers and printers and other things to help you do your job, but seriously... would YOU use a school computer for any serious work? Also - all the Thai teachers seem to manage to afford their own laptops... why can\'t you?\r\n\r\n6 - Grrr... I really hate it when the internet goes down or is slow. This matters a whole lot more if your school expects you to stick around even when you\'re not teaching. Funny, though... it wasn\'t that many years ago we did just fine without it!\r\n\r\n7 - Nine hours at school? That\'s presumably from 7:30 till 16:30... which is normal work hours right? Consider this, most Thai teachers work much longer hours at school than that and most other Thais work six days a week, so don\'t expect a sympathetic ear when you want to scoot off home just because you\'ve got no classes! You do realize that you\'re doing a full-time job, right?\r\n\r\nIf you don\'t like this arrangement then work for a school where you are the only farang teacher. Those schools can afford to be more flexible and lenient.\r\n\r\n8 - Seriously? There are schools that don\'t let you pop out of the school grounds at lunchtime? I don\'t believe it.\r\n\r\n9 - I must admit this is a deal-breaker for me too. I\'ve worked at schools with no air-con and it\'s fooking murder. Also - I\'m reasonably sure that it\'s harder to both teach and learn in a hot sweaty classroom.\r\n\r\n10 - Agents... why are you working for an agent at all? Can\'t live with the salary then don\'t take the job... or is that too obvious!\r\n\r\n11 - Why are you worried about how much other people are getting paid? Mind your own business.\r\n\r\n12 - I\'ve never bothered with contracts for schools... now, for corporates they\'re essential. If you or your school has a problem with the contract it\'s better to simply move on regardless of who is \'in the right\'.\r\n\r\n13 - How many teachers have been hauled out of their English language classes to teach woodwork or science without it being stated that this could happen before you\'re hired? And even if it happens - wouldn\'t that be a blessed relief? Come on - this is Thailand - start embracing that!\r\n\r\n14 - A semester-long contract is another form of probation isn\'t it? If you balls it up they can simply not re-hire you later. Oh, if you\'re being offered semester-long contracts the chances are you\'re working illegally, so there\'s that.\r\n\r\n15 - 16 - No desk? No markers for free? Yeah, I think we\'re trying to make this list longer than it needs to be!\r\n\r\n17 - \"I would prefer to teach around 16 x 50-minute classes.\"\r\n\r\nHa ha! Yeah, you don\'t get to make your own schedule... but you do get to decide whether you accept the one you\'re offered!\r\n\r\n18 - No free lunch? Who cares? I wouldn\'t eat that muck even if it was free. I also don\'t like being seen sitting down to eat with students... it\'s a personal thing but I find it undignified and too personal.\r\n\r\n19 - Schools that seem vague on visas, etc (especially who\'s paying for it) are a pain! But even well-intentioned schools who are trying to do the right thing can come across as misunderstood and \'vague\'. Most of them have little knowledge and even less interested in the convoluted process of trying to get a teacher all legally sorted out when they know he\'s going to bugger off within a year!\r\n',1,'180.183.250.90',1,'2017-06-12 04:26:37','2017-06-12 04:33:42'),(6049,31925,'Muz','muzmurray3@gmail.com','Bangkok','\"NEVER EVER EVER work without a contract.

You don\'t really need any qualifications to teach TEFL at the real TEFL level other than being a native-speaker and having a CELTA, etc. \r\n\r\nTake Spain for example; a great place to a take a year or two out and have a working holiday. At the time I was there they only requested we had some kind of TEFL cert. No degree was needed. You weren\'t sold the job as being a a real or serious teacher. You were sold it as helping students improve their English. This was generally done by practicing conversation. They wouldn\'t have dreamed about asking you teach Math or science etc, in a real school. We were restricted to the TEFL level language centers and rightly so. \r\n\r\nThailand needs to be more honest and open if they\'re serious about improving their level of language. There\'s no career here for the most part, but if you want a year or two out, regardless of your age, come here and have a working holiday. We can\'t pay you much but you\'ll have holidays and be able to get by. Thailand seems to be looking for properly qualified teachers for less than TEFL level standards. It ain\'t gonna happen.\r\n\r\nIf you\'re a properly qualified teacher, I wouldn\'t recommend Thailand for the most part. I\'ve known properly qualified teachers here earning 100k a month and they thought it was a lot. In the grand scheme, it\'s really not. Try having kids and growing old here on that. \r\n\r\nI knew a guy who came here with a degree and wanted to get qualified. He ended up doing his masters, and maybe even a doctorate here, and then realized that even within Thailand, it was pretty worthless. They wanted qualifications from western universities etc. He ended up starting an agency and basically just lies for a living.  Selling an idea of professionalism to people who simply aren\'t, being instructed how to teach by people with inferior qualifications. Just one big factory of teachers. \r\n\r\nIf you\'re a real teacher in the sense you wanna help people, god bless you. It\'s one of the most noble things you can do in life. You\'ll always be a teacher so make sure you invest in yourself. If you like teaching but are doing it mostly to stay in Thailand, do not waste thousands of dollars on teaching qualifications that restrict you to teaching the rest of you life. That is awful investment, especially in a place like Thailand.\r\n\r\nOnline work is the way to go. Affiliate marketing etc. There\'s a lot of money to be made if you\'re reliable and hardworking. You need zero qualifications other than a fantastic work ethic and knowing where the money is. I\'m not going to tell people how to do it, but there is money online to be made. It\'s definitely the way forward for people who wanna live abroad. \r\n\r\nWhen Thailand pisses me off, I just hop on a plane with my laptop to somewhere else for a week.

Because of the inefficiencies of the Thai legal system, a lot of things that would be settled in court in western countries gets settled through hired thugs in Thailand.  Ignoring crimes of passion, in Thailand, if you get a beating or get killed you are far more likely to know the person who either did it or ordered it.  \n\nIt should also be noted that there is a well-known difference between reported crime and actual crime.  Reported incidences of domestic \n abuse in Thailand are far higher now then 20 years ago, but actual domestic abuse has almost certainly gone down - society\'s tolerance has gone down leading to less of the crime, and increased incentives to report it when it does happen.   The most difficult crime stat to fudge is the murder rate (Governments often fudge official crime numbers - in either direction depending on the situation), and Thailand\'s has gone down significantly in the last 20 years.\n\nFinally, the ranking system used is silly.

Even in the Philippines and China, where the English skills are quite a bit higher on average than in Thailand, I have noticed a great sensitivity to being corrected, especially amongst the educated. \n\nThis being said, I actually rarely correct people directly, as I\'m a teacher and I have found that this is often not effective; rather, I usually repeat the sentence back to them correctly, letting them deduce the error themselves.  The only time I might correct in a direct manner is when a great misunderstanding has just occurred due to an English error.  \n\nAlso, I would like to add that foreigners do not necessarily have to adjust to the native environment (in any country, not just in Thailand) if the particular custom, habit etc. in question is destructive.

So unauthentic it hardly needs no further spelling out. Some of my \"colleagues\" there - we were all sent to the Northern parts of Thailand - were totally without any teaching experience whatsoever and some were even employed to check out on new teachers. They were paid extra money to keep new \"sheep\" within the fold and to inform on them the very moment they showed any sign of natural rebellion. I have personally been informed on by one such paid informer. She \"thought I was not quite comfortable teaching kindergarten\" and went straight to the school management to deliver her fabrication. The agency itself sought to have me transferred to another of their schools before this happened due to me speaking my honest mind. What I feel today is enormous sorrow for the students in these schools. They are not, in no way, being treated decently. They are nothing but victims of the money mongers that abuse them.

My story began in November 2015.\n\nI had been in my provincial town in Thailand for 3 years and had become jaded with the place. I had relatively recently come out of an unhappy relationship of 2 years with a local woman who was jealous, and controlling. I had become sick of the culture, the monotony of my town and Thainess generally. I longed for the west. In my head, I was looking for a way out. That came in the form of a job offer in a town close to Madrid, Spain.\n\nWith just over a month left in Thailand, having sold my motorbike and soon to be leaving my apartment, I met the love of my life which suddenly threw a spanner into the works. The final month became a blur with whirlwind romance and my excitement soon being replaced with dread at the prospect of leaving someone I had only just met but had fast become infatuated with. On our last day, we went to all our favourite places before a tearful goodbye at the airport. The moment I boarded the flight, I knew I had made a mistake.\n\nI touched down in a cold and rainy Madrid. It was winter in Spain. One part of me was happy to be in Europe, but the other part longed to be with the person I loved. I struggled to settle in to my new life. The school I worked at was very strict with their high standards and I was out of my depth with the formality of lesson planning and the classes themselves. \nOutside of work, I was lonely, I had no friends, couldn\'t speak a word of Spanish and was staying in a hostel as I was struggling to find an apartment. On top of that, I was trying to maintain a long distance relationship. It was a stressful time and I lasted just a month. My heart wasn\'t in it and the school could tell. I was fired after a month there. My parents told me to stop doing TEFL, come back to England and find a real job. But my head trumped my heart and with the money I had earned in Spain, I booked a one way flight back to Bangkok.\n\nAfter 18 hours, a short stop in Moscow and a few sterm questions off the grumpy woman at immigration, I found myself back in the sweaty embrace of a country I swore I\'d never return to and moved in with the woman I loved. But the novelty of being back was soon replaced with anxiety. I had sold everything I had to fund my flight and first month in Spain and had spent a considerable chunk of my earnings from there coming back. I needed a job and fast. \n\nIt was February so not an ideal time but \narmed with several copies of my CV, my girlfriend\'s car and a hand-full of optimism, I hit the streets of Pattaya, going door to door to every school. I soon got a job offer for summer school in April in a semi-international school in Pattaya.\nI felt good but my euphoria was short lived. My 30 days was fast running out and I needed to take a border run to Cambodia where the nightmare started. \n\nWith a day left, my girlfriend and I took a mini-van to the border at Poipet where we were told by the unhelpful Thai official that I wouldn\'t be able to renew my visa waiver as I still had a contract to my previous school!\n\nI had given my work permit back to my previous employer and left on positive terms with no plan to return. I had simply assumed they would cancel my work permit. But they hadn\'t. So I found myself in a position where I had to revisit my previous school in a different province, get them to write a letter stating that I had left, take it to the labour office and have them cancel the work permit, then go to the immigration office to cancel my visa and leave Thailand- ALL IN THE SAME DAY!\n\nMy first stop at my previous school was different. My friendly employer was now terse with me. She told me coldly that she \"knew I\'d be back\" and that my job was replaced with a \"hardworking Filipino\" days after my departure. After about and hour and half wait, I got the half-page letter stating my termination of employment. One of the secretaries then offered to accompany us to the labour office to cancel the work permit. After another hour, that was sorted and we went to the immigration office where I was told by the official that because I had terminated my employment in December and it was now February, I faced a 20,000 baht overstay fine! Luckily the friendly secretary who was with us was friendly with someone at the labour office so we popped back, asked them to edit the dates on the document to \"today\", returned to the immigration where my visa was cancelled without a second glance. \n\nAs it was now late in the day, it wouldn\'t have been possible to get to the border in time for it to close so I chose to go the next day. The following day, I returned to Poipet, got another 30 days without a hitch.\n\nThe next week or 2 was pretty uneventful till my new school gave me the document to take to the immigration office to get my new non-B. I had heard all about the reputation of the notorious Jomtien immigration office but had yet to experience it myself.\n\nOn my first visit to the cattle-shed as I liked to refer to the place, I was rudely told that I would need a copy of my girlfriend\'s house book as official proof of where I was staying. That was relatively simple and she accompanied me on the next visit where the same stone-faced official told me I would need my original degree certificate and would need to take it to the UK embassy in Bangkok to have it legalised.\n\nAfter a tense, worried couple of weeks waiting, my degree arrived in the post and we went to Bangkok before bringing the now legalised degree to the cattle shed where yet again the same rude official now told me I would have to return AGAIN to Bangkok to get the now legalised copy of the degree, legalised again by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cheng-Wattana. She could have told me that before??! To top it off, another \"official\" in the cattle shed offered to \"have the visa ready in a day no problem\" if I gave him 10,000 baht. No chance. I was at close to wits end by this point, my funds were dwindling and I would soon have to take another border run. My girlfriend, sensing my plight chose to make the border run a fun one, going for a weekend away in Kuala Lumpur where I forgot about all my problems in Thailand until my return to Don Muang where I got a grilling from the immigration official, saying \"no more border run!\" Despite me trying to explain that I had a job and was just waiting for the visa to process.\n\nA week or 2 after Kuala Lumpur, I finally got the visa and \"settled\" into a relatively normal life whatever that meant by this point. Knowing that neither of us were happy in Thailand, in June, my girlfriend and I got married in the city hall. At least now we were legally married. After making plans to return to Europe again, my DOS at my new school told me \"the immigration called, the won\'t give you a work permit till you have your original deed poll sent over\" (my degree was under a different surname to that of my passport). We laughed together as we both knew I was leaving.\n\nSince then, me and my wife have settled in Italy and even with the notorious Italian bureaucracy, it turned out to be a piece of cake bringing my wife over compared to the ordeal I faced in Thailand. Now we finally have some stability in life (until Brexit happens!!!)\n\n\nTips- when you leave a school, make sure you cancel your visa and work permit yourself, even if you don\'t think you\'ll return to Thailand. You never know what will happen!\n-Make sure to now keep your official documents with you (photocopies will not suffice as of May 2016!)\n\nBest of luck Ajarns!',1,'193.153.108.164',1,'2017-07-20 15:32:16','2017-07-24 23:47:18'),(6113,31996,'Mr. X','muehlner@yahoo.com','Bangkok','I work in Bangkok.

They were both educated in the north and when I first met them I didn\'t think they spoke a word of English. It turned out that they were very shy and also that they had a problem understanding me, either because they had never heard English spoken by an Englishman before, or maybe because they were struggling with my Yorkshire accent.\n\nI am not and have never been a teacher and I have to say I found it very hard work.... mostly to keep it interesting. The plan was to get them to be able to help out as best they could with my wife\'s business, at whatever they turned out to be capable of. So both they and I were motivated.\n\nI spent half an hour every evening (about all I could stand!) of what in my view was a concentrated question and answer session. The surprising thing was that they knew a lot more than I originally thought, and once they had learned how to pronounce certain words, it turned out that they already knew them, and didn\'t forget them. They also got into the routine of putting words they didn\'t know into their mobiles and reading the Thai translation - both of them can input text a lot faster than I can.\n\nThese sessions finished about 12 months ago. The younger son now man\'s my wife\'s office and deals with checking in and checking out, meter readings etc. and the older one does various repairs, mostly electronic, for a growing number of tenants. \nBoth lads are now both very confident and while they do not speak English well from what I presume would be an English teacher\'s point of view, they nevertheless earn a living through their ability to speak English.\n\nThey find it easier to understand people for whom English is their second language - we have a lot of Scandinavians here - but if they are stuck, they just get the customer to type his question into their mobile \'phone (this makes the questioner organise his thoughts, which frequently is more than half the battle) and they can then translate it and understand.\n\nSo, in my very limited experience I think that you teachers do a lot better job than you think.

Sure, you have clean air but us farang suffer in the heat so these guys were lucky to even find a mall. It\'s really sad to hear Ayutthaya\'s decline. Tourism seems to be dropping and is probably what helped Ayutthaya survive. What was once national heritage site, is beginning to sound like a place not worth seeing now. Take the minivan... make the trip worthwhile. I\'d you can rent a car there\'s so much to see in Ayutthaya. It was my first trip with Thai people and I think I saw an incredible amount. That was before smart phones for most people and digital cameras. 10 years ago that place was something formidable. Burma is going the same way... but not for a good 5-10 years.

Of course, English is not their first language, so to expect them to get it \'right\' all of the time is wrong. Even native-speakers make errors, of course. However, my experience is that they make a lot of errors.\n\nThey are also their own worst enemy (in my experience, which is fairly narrow if i\'m being honest). The Filipinos at my school are overly obedient and never question management. To the point that they end up working evenings and weekends for free. The Thai management see this and now expect the same from westerners. Obviously, this is harder to implement. Not due to \'white privilege\' or other such nonsense, but due to coming from cultures where employees have rights and will, if pushed, make their feelings known and move on to a different employer. We may be \'in Rome\', but we won\'t be taken advantage of as easily. \n\nThis is why you will see more and more Filipinos and an ever decreasing number of native speakers of English in Thailand. China is now offering twice the salary and many of those jobs also offer free accommodation. The Thais either cannot (or will not) compete with this. Thai management love the bowing and scraping. In their eyes,  westerners are not very good at this and some are not afraid to \'answer back\'. I\'ve never seen a Filipino question a management decision. I\'ve seen one agree to working 3 Saturdays in a row for free! They asked me too, and you can guess my response. \n\nThis has now caused me a few issues and I\'m seen as a \'trouble maker\' for refusing to work for free on Saturdays and Sundays, which is not part of contract. If, like me, the Filipinos stood up for themselves then perhaps I wouldn\'t be seen as \'the odd one out\'. Of course, they whine constantly in the staff room about being taken advantage of, but never say or do anything to stop it! They had the chance when I spoke up, but they just put their heads down.\n\nAs I, said, I think they\'re all lovely hard-working people, but I just wish they would stand up for themselves a little more, because the Thais and at times, western agents, can (and do) take advantage of their good nature.',0,'183.89.214.208',1,'2017-08-27 07:02:33','2017-08-27 11:10:31'),(6179,8066,'Joe','joejoemchoe@hotmail.co.th','Bangkok','I\'ve done two demo lessons before.

Evaluating teachers is like evaluating art.\r\n\r\nWatching teachers do their thing has been a great help to me. I have learned just as many things of what NOT to do as well as things that I can do to make myself more effective.\r\n\r\nUnless you know the teacher well AND all the students in the class, it\'s best to never question what they are doing or how they do it. Just cherry pick your way through the things they do and see if you can use them or avoid using them!\r\n\r\nThe best way to evaluate a teacher from a practical teaching standpoint is to make a video of the whole lesson and sit down later and watch it. It\'s amazing what you can pick up.\r\n\r\nFinally... in Thailand it\'s important to be pragmatic and accept that how \"good\" you are is entirely determined by the person who pays your salary... and their opinions are decided by the parents and the students, and NOT by other teachers.',1,'180.183.250.90',1,'2017-09-01 02:22:02','2017-09-01 02:41:52'),(6186,32057,'Aaron','safrte143@gmail.com','Beijing','I used to hate observations as I felt I was trying to be someone else to appease others. I had so many of them in the end that I would just pretend I wasn\'t being watched. The kids acted normally when I did. That\'s when I received my best feedback. \n\nAs I\'ve been teaching longer and longer, my feedback has been getting better and better. I always listen to any criticism and evaluate if they\'re good points or not. I\'ve been teaching for a long time now. I had some DELTA instructors observe me once and they gave me some incredible advice and ideas. \n\nOne observation I had really stuck out in my mind. I was observed by  \'bona fide\' teacher from the west. She\'s the same lady who interviewed me three times and employed me. She observed me once and when we sat down to chat about it, she said, \"Well, that\'s a lot better than I thought it would be\". Another teacher in the room who was clearly pretending not to be listening lifted his head up and looked at me with an astonished face. That comment really stifled and confused me. \n\nShe then went on and critiqued a few things that I had done. I explained why I had done them and she just nodded along. All in all, it was a good class, but she wasn\'t giving any praise. Other than the backhanded compliment, she didn\'t say anything bad either. I remember speaking to the other teachers about the, \'It was better than I thought it would be\' comment after which he just said, \"Don\'t worry. She says the strangest things sometimes\".\n\nMy worst observation was from the very same woman. There was only one slight nuance from my style I used the first time - I wasn\'t actually in the class. I had taken a day\'s holiday (I asked for it and they agreed) and she covered one of my classes. Normally another teacher would cover but she did instead. Yes, it struck me as weird, but I didn\'t think anymore of it.\n\nCome the morning I arrived back at work she called me in for a meeting saying she had serious concerns. I was genuinely worried. What had a I done? I didn\'t do anything bad, but you begin to worry anyway. She told me she was worried about my teaching style based on \'her\' covering my class. I wasn\'t there. She said she felt my teaching was too \'teacher orientated\'. Huh? She said, and I quote, \"I felt that when I was delivering instructions to your kids, they were too fixated on me.  They looked at me too much for guidance\".  So many things were running through my mind. So many questions, but I bit my lip and carried on listening.\n\nShe then went onto to say that when she set them a speaking activity for the kids in pairs, they would only do it and speak English when she was in earshot. When she was away from them they\'d stop and mess about. She felt as if me putting myself in the centre of class and being the main focus distracted them. I was gobsmacked. There were so many variables when a different teacher covers for one class. This was her first time ever teaching my kids. \n\nI asked a few of the other teachers what they thought of it, but they couldn\'t make head nor tail. I told them that she\'s going to come and teach my class so I can watch and see how it\'s done. But she never actually did that. In fact, she never actually observed me ever again. We went from \'serious concerns\' to absolutely nothing and all forgotten about. Was a surreal instance I\'ve never experienced before. \n\nNow when I have observations, I think of how I can explain what I\'m doing for whenever they have something to critique. So when they ask why I did something, I can give a clear and honest answer for something I did with the best intentions. When they say I shouldn\'t have done something, I can explain why I did it, and they can explain why it doesn\'t work. \n\nMost people don\'t like being observed. But if the person observing  can explain why something you\'re doing is wrong or could be done better, you can really learn from that. It\'s actually a great feeling. You simply can\'t just say \"I\'ve been teaching x amount of years and if I say something is wrong then it\'s wrong\". You have to explain why.\n\n\n\n\n',0,'178.33.33.138',1,'2017-09-01 06:02:23','2017-09-01 10:44:24'),(6187,32057,'Steve C','big_turner@btinternet.com','Bankok','Your analogy about the rocks is misleading, as the quote below shows.

I have nothing to do with the recruiting process (thank god) and I merely have to observe them when scheduled or when the teachers get complaints (it\'s happening a lot more now). \r\n\r\nThe standard of teaching has dramatically dropped at my school. Not just the teaching, but the quality of the teachers to come to work everyday, show up on time, not be doing something stupid at work, etc. My agency seems to be having great difficulty even employing the most basic teachers. They just seem to be employing anyone with a degree or anyone who can stay here longer than three months. And the results are getting my agency into hot water.\r\n\r\nI\'ve observed first hand how bad these teachers are. They should not be allowed to be anywhere near a classroom. We still have great teachers who\'ve been at my school for years or who are new, it\'s just we are getting a lot more bad and throw-away teachers. It\'s painful watching some of these people teach and me having to observe them. Unless my feedback is good, my bosses don\'t wanna know. They just bury their heads in the sand or try to blame me. Again, I don\'t employ or supervise anyone. I\'ve been given the task of doing observations simply because of how long I\'ve been at my school and my experience.\r\n\r\nI\'m becoming fearful for where it\'s all going. I can\'t win. If I give them bad grades, I get told to to basically threaten them (not my job) and to \'guide\' them. I\'ll help however I can, but the teachers have to want help. They have to want to better themselves. When they get a good grade, the agency pretends like there was never a problem until it comes back. There are complaints every single day. \r\n\r\nWho\'d wanna be entrusted with finding teachers now? It must be impossible. I don\'t want to observe anymore. I feel I\'m being used as someone who can take away some of the blame from the agency.

I believe that it is quite good, especially when compared to Indonesia or Vietnam for example. What I believe the discussion above fails to recognise is that there exists in practical terms, a version of English which is Thai English. That is what Thai people speak. In Thai English, you dispose of items into a \" Rubbish Bin\", you move between floors of a building using a \" lift\", you change Telivision channels using the \" remote\", you \" come holiday today uh?\", or \" you not want uh?\", \" he not like\". \" You make Color law?\" , \" Harbor\", \" You OK Mai?\". No doubt I may get replies saying that many of these are simply examples of poor English, grammar or spelling etc. Well, English comes from England, just like German comes from Germany. I think it a little arrogant to consider one countries commonly practised version of the language that deviates from \" English English\" to be correct whilst that of another country is considered incorrect. That said, if I was teaching someone English, then I believe it to be correct to teach them the version considered standard from the host country. I would not teach them \" Scotts English\", even though I am Scottish and \" Scotts\" is now recognised by linguistics as being a valid English language related tongue, and no longer considered to be incorrect bad English. If someone is to be taught English, please, for goodness sake, teach them English ( English ), just as you would German ( German ). However, if someone already speaks Thai English to a very high standard, instructing them that they should change it to the American version to be correct is just bad. In Thailand, the two most dominant spoken mother toungues are the official Thai language and Isan. Very educated Thai people are taught to consider Isan to be a dialect of Thai and sometimes may consider it almost as slang. Some linguists ( non Thai ) consider it to be a distinct language ( albeit with historical roots in Loas ). If you ask people in Thailand how to say something in Thai, they will tell you the Thai version, not the Isan variant. If someone in Thailand asks me how to say something in English, I tell them in English, not Scotts.

I like reading posts like this. Makes me feel less alone and saner in Thailand.\r\n\r\nI too dealt with a foreigner similar to this when applying for my third job in Thailand. It was an interview/process from hell. \r\n\r\nI applied for a job online and got an email about a week later asking for a \'skype\' interview. The lady\'s name was Thai but she had a \'farang\' sir name. Oh, she also asked me to email back about my teaching style. All was looking good. Skype interview to not waste time, and a Thai lady married to a foreigner who had very good English and seemed sincere in finding a good teacher.\r\n\r\nI called her on skype, and low and behold, it was a \'farang\' woman. Ah, I might get a job working with a foreigner.....great. We had the interview and all was good. She was very articulate in explaining the position and she implored me to ask questions. I finished the interview happy and excited and at the prospect of getting this job. This job didn\'t pay particularly well, but it seemed like a job where I could grow. The skype interview was done on a Tuesday, and she said she\'d contact me again on Friday to tell me if I\'d be invited to a face-to-face interview or not. They had more people to interview. \r\n\r\nCome the Friday and I check for a reply. Nothing. Gets to lunchtime and there\'s no reply. No problems, she said Friday. Gets to dinner time and there\'s still no reply. It hits 19.30 and nothing. I see she\'s been on skype all day so I decide to message her;\r\n\r\nMe: \"Hey there. How are you?\"\r\nHer: \"Good, thanks. And you?\"\r\nI\'m thinking, \"Okay, I\'m just being polite to start things rolling. Where are we on the job position?\"\r\nMe: \"I\'m great, thanks. Sorry to disturb you, but is there any news on the teaching position I interviewed for on Tuesday?\"\r\n\r\nNothing. She didn\'t reply. She was set to online all day. She continued to be set to online after we spoke. She replied to my first message within 30 seconds and now nothing. I ran the interview back in my head and remember she said maybe 5-6 times, \"We\'re a very professional company. We do everything properly\". \r\n\r\nI wake up the next day and still nothing. I go to my part-time job and speak to my friends at lunchtime. I explain my situation and they tell me I\'m overthinking it. They say she\'s probably still interviewing people but wants to keep you close by. I agree, but explain that I really want the job and she waxed lyrical about her company\'s professionalism. This just doesn\'t come across as professional.\r\n\r\nI know I come across as maybe overthinking things, but this job seemed great. Near my home, better than average salary, foreign boss who seems very professional and sincere. This was all new to me and I wanted to be a part of it. I emailed her on the Sunday and she finally replied. She said she\'d just got off a flight and had been busy. No problems, I thought. Just happy to hear they wanted me to come for a face-to-face interview. \r\n\r\nShe called me on the Monday and asked when I\'d like to come for the interview. Would I like Wednesday or Thursday? I said Wednesday is good for me, but it\'s really what\'s convenient for you. I\'m not working now so I\'m easy. She asks me to come on Wednesday and that\'s when things got even weirder. \r\n\r\nI arrive Wednesday and go to the teachers\' room. She introduces me to the other teachers and I shake their hands, etc. It all felt like I had got the job already. She says she will show me around the school. She introduces me to the Thai staff as \'maybe the new P5 teacher\' and one Thai staff member just said, \"Not maybe. For sure ha ha\". Guess they were impressed my shirt was tucked in and I was wearing a tie. It all felt very much like the job was mine, but she kept going from ‘maybe and might’ to language which sounded like the position was mine. \r\n\r\nI go to meet the P5 Thai teacher and the kids who were doing summer camp. The farang lady kept saying things like, \"This will be your classroom and this will be your Thai teacher\". The farang lady and the Thai teacher start speaking in Thai, so I go round and chat with the kids. I speak Thai fairly well and overhear the Thai teacher say \"No babies. He\'s older. It\'s good. No more babies\". Basically, don\'t be employing young foreigners for me to work with. I\'m late 20s now. \r\n\r\nI go back to the teachers\' room and get introduced to more people. We sit down and the farang lady asks, \"So, everything okay?\". I say sure. Seems like a nice school. I spoke to the kids and they weren\'t shy. She tells me they only employ the best teachers so that is why. The farang lady tells me that if I want the job it\'s mine. But…… go away and think about it. I tell her it\'s all good. I very much want the job. She insists I go away and think about it and contact her \'on Friday\'. It was all so fucking weird. None of it made sense. \r\n\r\nI get home after interview and my friend messages me about the interview. I tell him that I think I have the job. Crazy farang lady wants me to message her later to confirm or not. He just tells me to message her now and say yes. I message her back saying I want the job. She replies with, \"Oh, I\'m so happy. I was worried you didn\'t want the job!\". At this point I should have just said no. I was so confused by her behaviour. It was that of someone who\'s mentally ill off their nut on cheap booze. \r\n\r\nI started the job and it was the most unprofessional thing I\'ve ever experienced. Promises of a work permit. Being told I had to do a visa run because they hadn\'t sorted out my work permit yet. Doing a visa run and being told to get a \'double entry\' just in case. Being taxed when I had no work permit nor had a tax form for them. Paying \'social security\' when I had health insurance of my own. Being told that I couldn\'t be on their health insurance plan yet because a former teacher hadn’t returned his health insurance card for me yet. It was all fucking nuts. \r\n\r\nI\'m in my 30s now. I don\'t teach anymore. The crazy farang lady\'s company make my Thai company look like BMW. My advice to any new teachers; if a school or agency bang on about how \'professional\' they are all the time. If the boss has to keep reiterating their qualifications and credentials every 5 minutes in the interview - walk away.

And for most of the world, countries that were once colonized by a western power all have a mind set which prioritizes learning a colonial or a western language over their own. Of the countries in the world, I think the UK and the US have are the two countries that suffer from the language skill deficit the most. If you look at America, French is studied a foreign language by 20% of the students. But who can speak French in America? Almost none, except the rich kids whose parents send them to French immersion schools. Foreign languages are spoken in America and Britain by immigrants. But for average British or American, their is no need to do so. So they suck at foreign languages -- no interest to learn, whatsoever. \r\n\r\nI lived in Thailand for a long time and this is a country that has their own legal system, their own law codes and legal authority - from top to bottom. At school, they study their own literature. Their religious texts (Buddhism) maybe in classical Pali, but they have all the translations and commentaries in their own language. Of all the countries I\'ve been to, maybe only Japan and China prioritizes their own cultural learning over outside influence at this level. In Malaysia, the Malay language is spoken by over 200 million people - a true lingua franca. But everyone still speaks pretty good English. How come? It\'s just because Malay is no different than Hindi. True, they are used by everyone, but not at the level that matter.

No. They were purposely NOT colonised by mutual agreement between the French who were in control of Cambodia on one side and the British in control of Burma on the other side. Why? So it could be used as a \"buffer zone\" between the two colonising powers. Simple as that. In addition, Thailand gave away huge chunks of territory (Parts of Chanthaburi and  Trat) to the French in exchange for not colonising them. That territory was later returned to them by the French. Not really something to be \"proud\" about. Which is the reason it\'s conveniently skipped over and not mentioned in history classes.\r\nAs for having \"no reason\" to learn English ... more rubbish.

And of course people frequently have these same arguments when it comes to what a “livable wage” is in their own countries as well. For example I constantly get in heated arguments with my sister over her insistence that it is not even in the realm of possibility that she could ever afford to move back here to California - where she was born and raised by the way. This despite the fact that millions of people manage to live here just fine while making even less money than she does. \n\nIn any case, naturally you CAN live in Bangkok on 30K a month. After all, there are currently millions of people doing just that. For a foreigner living in Bangkok however I think the real question is; is 30k enough to live in the manner to which you have become accustomed back in your own country? And I think the answer to this question for most people would be a resounding “NO”. Living the same as you do back home of course means that you live in an apartment or house that is just as nice and just as large as what you had back home (and in as nice an area). It also means having your own car, or at least a motorcycle, and being able to pursue all the same hobbies and other interests that you enjoyed back home. For me personally this would mean making an absolute bare minimum of about 60,000 baht a month, which is about what you would earn per month working a 40-hour a week minimum wage job here in California. \n\nAnd of course, since I have spent pretty much my entire adult life living on the coast, this means I would need to live on the coast in Thailand as well and unfortunately properties in coastal areas in Thailand are extremely overpriced relative to the Thai economy. In fact, condos in Patong or Kata Beach in Phuket cost nearly as much per square meter as they do right here in idyllic San Luis Obispo, California. When my girlfriend and I were living in Phuket we actually got by fine on 60k a month but we were also not able to put anything aside for emergencies. And we certainly did not have enough money to travel around Asia much or to buy any luxury items. \n\nThe bottom line is, if I were forced to move to Bangkok with only 30k a month to live on I could definitely make it work.

These should be FAIR tests, under every meaning of the word.  Many the better students I ever spoke to about this actually resented their (usually lazier) peers getting the same grades as them, and didn\'t think it was \"teamwork\"- they wanted the school to stop it.  Or do their voices not count?  Are they less culturally Thai for thinking that?   \r\n\r\nOther Asian countries (including neighbouring ones) don\'t treat cheating as a trivial thing that is an expected part of the culture- they attempt to stamp it out.  Why would it be only Thai culture who thinks like this?  I realise Thailand is not interchangeable with Asia, but various aspects of the culture are borrowed from others- how is it they can see the negatives and Thailand can\'t?  \r\n\r\nIt is because Thailand does see the negatives.  This cheating might (or might not) be \"cultural\", but it sure isn\'t written down in any curricula, educational act or lesson plan; perhaps because everyone- from student to teacher to government- in fact does realise it is actually wrong.  Nothing is really done about cheating, to save face, but Thai education won\'t formalise it- why?  Because they know it is wrong!  \r\n\r\nThe \"teamwork\" one might witness (and I have seen this myself) is nothing more than an extension of rote learning, forgotten as quickly as it is learned.  This is not education in action!  \r\n\r\nLastly, thinking that high school tests aren\'t important is betraying a lack of knowledge of how one gets into a university here (and from there into a career etc) and what the summative assessment process is worth, especially towards GPA.  I would rather not have a doctor treat me who cheated to get to where he is, particularly if this cheating continued into his later qualifications (as no doubt can happen in Thailand).

I\'m not suggesting that we should impose our values and agendas into them, but that we be honest- with ourselves, first- about where we stand.

Thinking that academic, or intellectual, advancement is not really important, and that it\'s all a laugh, is certainly a way to keep people in the rice fields; or, in a more modern context, in offices, where you spend a long time each day, know your place, and never question anything the boss does.\r\n\r\nDavid is also, sadly, correct; most teachers I have met had to reduce their (sometimes not all that high) standards after teaching for anything more than a little while (as did I, until I got out of government schools).

When she asked me again she got angry that I had not finished yet. Even though she knew it would be two more years. She said the company was professional and they wanted everyone on work permits.

But racism is more sinister act then that and by you promoting that idea to people online you’re furthering a wedge between the two countries and people. Which is not only going to create actual unwanted hate, you may also be wrong on your observation and it has nothing to do with you being Filipino just bad staffing/management of that school.

And at 26, you\'re still very young so have lots of opportunities ahead. Also good to be looking at getting qualifications in high-paying jobs in a niche market. Gotta try something. \n\nI\'m afraid English teaching jobs at a TEFL level are dying a slow death in Thailand. I still have friends who work for a couple of my former agencies and they said it\'s getting harder and harder to find teachers. A mix of not having teachers available on tourist visas and the massive emergence of online work. What have the school and agencies done to prepare? Absolutely nothing. \n\nMy friend suggested to his boss that they pay more money or offer any form of benefits. He said his boss became so indignant at the suggestion. This kinda mentality of, \"I\'ve been earning this amount of profit every month and I will not lose a single satang\". There are teachers leaving and other teachers quitting the extra work to go online. One loyal teacher left after three years to go online. He told another friend he would have continued the weekend work as an extra, but when he quit, they didn\'t even say thanks. His attitude was, \'fuck you, then\".  Now they\'re threatening teachers who don\'t want to do their extra work. The threats are empty and the teachers know it. It\'s pathetic.  \n\nTeaching is great if you can find that balance of a good job (one where you\'re left one and not squeezed to to keep doing more simply because you\'re good and reliable). Add to that online work, and you can easily be pulling in at least 70k a month with your weekends free. I\'ve found that balance and I\'m happy for now. But I keep looking at the jobs. And I know the power is with me now. Same as it is with any teacher worth their salt.\n\nMy advice for any agency owners; pay up or pack up. Your time is up.

What you see on the outside isn\'t always what you see on the inside. Whether that\'s good or bad doesn\'t matter, because it is what it is. \n\nI\'ve taught countless Thais privately. It starts off with the usual small talk and then it elevates \'usually\' to all sorts once they find themselves comfortable and safe. I never elicit anything other than the academic subject at hand and stuff like, \"What are you plans for the weekend?\" etc.\n\nAnyway, it always opens my mind. Seeing some talk with such passion or disdain you quickly realise the person you\'re talking to is still very much a product of their culture, but absolutely more a product of being a human being (shock horror) with wants and needs and desires, and crazy & nebulous thoughts. I love when they say they love talking with me because they can say how they feel. People should always feel free to speak without fear of persecution or violence (no, obviously not hate speech). \n\nThis feeling of wanting to talk freely and have someone listen isn\'t owned by any culture. It\'s owned by feelings in us that are as natural as blinking. Sure, I\'m a man who quite often suppresses his feelings to look more manly. But I can admit that, and I would love to work on it. It can be an unfortunate byproduct of being the male species. Again, we\'re human before all else. \n\nMy point is that the education system here is the way it is. There\'s no harm in talking about it. There\'s no harm in people adding comments on how to make it better. You put a point across and you can shoot it down. Just be able to shoot it down with a clear and articulate argument. The Thai public should be asked their opinions. No, they\'re not in the education business, but a good idea is a good idea no matter whose mouth it comes out of. \n\nAnyway, my hat off to Mark. It\'s great to see teachers with a passion who simply want the best for their students. If we\'ve been entrusted to teach the kids English, let\'s do that to the best of our ability and with real integrity.

One reason I decided to try to do something was an article on WikiPedia I stumbled upon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Thailand.  I was shocked by the following statements:\n\n\"On 27 May 2015, the Ministry of Public Health released Thai student IQ survey results. They indicate that the IQ of Grade 1 students has dropped from 94 in 2011 to 93. The international standard is 100.[12]\n\nIt is highly possible that Thailand\'s education system is harming student IQs. While the IQ of pre-school students is acceptable, IQ drops as primary schooling commences, suggesting a need for changes at schools. The IQ of students in rural areas is considerably lower, at just 89. This difference persists at university. While studies have found the IQ of Bangkok university students averages 115, the IQ of provincial university students is 5-8 points lower.[12]\n\nAlarmingly, the low IQ levels in the recent survey confirm continuing high levels of intellectual disability: IQ levels lower than 70, also termed \"mildly impaired or delayed\".  The average global percentage of such students is 2 percent. However, a previous 2011 survey found that 6.5 percent of Thai students scored in this range. The recent results suggest intellectual disability in some rural areas could now be up to 10 percent.\"\n\n\"In comparison with the educational expenditures of other countries, (especially developing countries): China 13%, Indonesia 8.1%, Malaysia 20%, Mexico, 24.3%, Philippines 17%, United Kingdom and France 11%, the Thai GDP and national budget allocate considerable funds to education. By 2006 it represented 27% of the national budget. \"\n\nI also observed that many (but not all) of my M6 students last semester could barely speak more than a dozen words of English despite having completed 12 years of English classes.    And although I have a great deal of respect for them, the  staff at that high school were almost unable to converse in English.  I certainly agree that this is an enormously complex problem and my best efforts will probably be futile, but I\'d rather try and fail than do nothing.   In fact, I assume I will fail.   But hey, who cares?  I\'m retired.  This project gives me something to do.  I\'ve got nothing to lose.

As long as I was stringing sentences together that were coherent and grammatically correct, I\'d pass my speaking section with flying colours.  \n\nBeing a native-speaker doesn\'t mean I find it hard to listen for when the bus arrived from Heathrow into Victoria Bus Station. As a native-speaker it would just mean that I was concentrating at the time. It wouldn\'t be a proficiency test for a native-speaker it would just be a concentration test. Here\'s an example of part of a question in the listening test;\n\nListening = \"The bus leaves at 3pm. No, no. Sorry. Not three - it actually leaves at 4pm, madam\"\n\nA native speaker knows it\'s 4pm without even having to think about it. That trick doesn\'t work on a native-speaker. They could be half listening and only get the last part and they\'d know the answer. The test is designed purely to test the level of English for persons of who are not native-speakers. Regardless of how good they are, the colour of their skin or their country of origin. There are plenty of dumb and useless native-speakers. Interview them for 2 mins and you\'ll know. \n\nAt a TEFL level, the government would be much better having their own \'teaching test\'. They can cover grammar, public speaking, interaction with students, teaching style, etc. They can charge people to do the test. If you complete it, you get a cert and you can teach at a lower level. If you fail, you give up. Or you can study harder and try again. It shows dedication to teaching TEFL. Separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. \n\nAs for the comments on \'white privilege\' and being native-English speakers, what can we do? Apologise? Sorry the country I was born in happens to be the home of the English language. Sorry I was born white. Sorry the world had to have one common language which just happened to be mine. If I were to give you some money from my wallet, would that ease the pain?\n\nI don\'t care about what other people are earning or what qualifications they have. That\'s none of my business. What I do care about is that I\'m working for decent people. People who are honest and show loyalty. People who know how to utilize their teachers to not only benefit themselves, but also to benefit their teachers and students. This is what we should all be working together to encourage. Speaking out more about the rats in the business here who are just looking for a quick buck. \n\nIf schools are employing people based mainly off the fact they\'re white (and they often absolutely do), shame on the schools. But don\'t put that blame on the teacher who got the job. Don\'t hate the player hate the game.

Maybe the qualified teachers in my school don\'t live in quite as rarified an atmosphere as yours, but it still hurts when you are constantly bombarded with reminders about how comparatively poor you are (Wine Connection seemingly twice a week, hiso gyms and spas, holidays etc).\n\nQualified teachers do lots of work, but not really tons more of it, and as teachers they often aren\'t really better than experienced local hires (in fact, they often have problems relating to students, and I have seen my fair share of rubbish teachers giving awful lessons).\n\nA middle ground between low pay and luxury would be nice, and I really don\'t know why a housing allowance isn\'t in the picture for local hires, as a foreign teacher is not Thai and therefore may be subjected to ye olde double pricing (which definitely goes on- a Thai university lecturer I am acquainted with lets her houses out for prices multiple times of that she would charge a Thai. Why? Because they -the qualified teachers- don\'t know the real value, or care, though this does put the prices up for everyone else).\n\nIt is, I guess, understandable that local hires get less. However, I would draw the line at not providing your kid\'s education- that really is despicable. I don\'t know why the OP stays at such a place.  Treat the teacher differently, okay (begrudgingly).  But it\'s not as if an extra student in the classroom really puts costs up much.  Lunch, trips etc., sure, charge the teacher extra. Tuition fees? If not waived, your employer is an elitist snob, cheap, or both. \n\nCha- international schools, or thai schools when it comes to foreigners, rarely ever support anything which mean you could truly progess.

You think many schools with TEFL teachers are in this for the betterment of the kids? They\'re businesses. Unfortunately, most parents want young, white and attractive \'people\'. This is what the schools give them. If the school could simply employ whomever was cheapest, they would. They\'d stick in the cleaner if they could get away with it. \n\nMy boss has told me that I can do whatever I want. Follow the syllabus, but the rest is up to me. She\'s not an educator. She\'s a businesswoman wanting to make money. At least she\'s honest. I guess she can see that I come to work and do my job. She trusts me and knows I\'m good for business too. She also used to employ the young and beautiful. She didn\'t learn (probably still hasn\'t) until me and a colleague called her bluff and said we\'d leave unless we had a bigger input into who she employed. Things have never been better than right now. The trick is to get her to think these good ideas are hers.\n\nI can tell in about 10 seconds of reading a cover letter if the person writing is just another div. The people who are good will stand out straight away. We then process the information and invite them for an interview. To be honest, I\'ve only been part of that process once. That teacher is still here and doing a good job. Might he quit for a better job? Sure. But I know he\'d give at least a month\'s notice because he\'s been treated well. Amazing the loyalty people will show if you treat them well and with respect. \n\nMany Thai schools used to be able to get away with treating teachers like they were disposable. Now they\'re slowly and painfully learning that they can\'t. I predicted this about 2 years ago after they started cracking down on people on tourist visas. I thought it would happen sooner, but we are now witnessing it gather pace. Be rest assured that it\'s happening.\n\nIf you\'re good at your job, Cha, you will now start to feel the benefits of that. At my old agency they used to have the full-time teachers climbing over each other to get the extra work. Now the agency can\'t even threaten them into doing it. \n\nAs for the posters last comment on the package they get, fuck that. I\'m sure it\'s amazing. But working 12 hour days and doing work at home and weekend isn\'t worth it. I\'m sure they get lots of time off, but I came to Thailand for the balance. I put my shift in, but I\'m not getting married to a job. I know expats in other fields who earn ridiculous amounts. All they do is work. All they do is talk about work. They buy expensive shit that they don\'t need and have girlfriend\'s and wives who hate everyone. One guy I met a few times died recently at the age of 53.

It is entirely dependent on reaching a balance you feel comfortable with: a laid-back lifestyle that may not necessarily provide you with a high level of income, or working harder and creating a career path for yourself that will achieve that. (Whether that extra money will make you happy is an entirely different matter.)\n\nI work at one of the big three, and I am personally very happy. We clock in at 7:30 and we\'re out at 4:00, Monday to Friday. There are the occasional nights when there will be work to do in the evenings, but it\'s by no means all-consuming. In other words, those of us who work more, including me, usually do it because we enjoy it. Many of my colleagues don\'t fly off for \"exotic travels\". They often spend their holidays with our students on service trips, or volunteer in poor, rural communities here in Thailand and abroad. In some cases they do this on their own (not using their annual flight). I just enjoy work in general, so I typically take one holiday back to my home country for two weeks a year, and that\'s it.\n\nThe school that the OP works for doesn\'t sound like the norm to me, and I agree that it doesn\'t sound like a a school that has its priorities straight. (In fact, I\'d agree with Eddie: not offering places to children of local hires as opposed to international hires is despicable.) I\'ve worked in multiple international schools in Thailand, having started at one where I earned 60,000 baht a month, with very basic benefits. Yet local and international hires were all on that same scale and had the same benefits. It\'s also true of several others where I have access to  the pay and benefits information. They all have also supported professional development: EARCOS conferences, IB workshops and, yes, advanced degrees.\n\nAt my current school the local hires do not initially receive the housing allowance (though they can re-apply to get it later, which is common), but they have the same insurance, their children can be enrolled and they\'re on the same scale...which starts at 150,000 baht a month. It doesn\'t matter if you\'re a native speaker or non-native speaker; what matters is whether you\'re qualified. Is it worth it? I\'d argue yes, particularly if you are a very driven educator who enjoys growing professionally and really is passionate about teaching as a career. We work hard, but we do love what we do. The vision of burnt-out teachers who do nothing but work seven days a week is a myth.\n\nTo be clear, I would also argue that there are \"international schools\" and international schools here in Thailand. I\'ve been fortunate enough to work in the latter (though even there, some parts of it fell into the former), and do I mean very fortunate: I didn\'t even know what an international school was when I first came here.

In the sixties when I went to school the classrooms were appalling... much worse than in Thailand. Still managed to muscle through the freezing temperatures and come away with something.\n\n#9 - \"There is a ridiculous number of holidays and extra-curricular activities which result in fewer productive teaching days.\"\n\nWhat you meant to say is...\n\nThe West could learn a thing or two about how children spend their time in school. It\'s NOT about being academically hardwired for 8 hours a day. For one thing, it makes kids hate school and for another, it simply doesn\'t work. \n\nAdjust your priorities and adapt to the easier going and less rigid Thai school system. This is actually something that Thailand does right.\n\n#10 - Agree 100%. ONET is a national embarrassment and should have been scrapped decades ago. It\'s an absolute failure on every level. Parents should do more about getting something done about this.\n\n#11 - Agree 100%. The curriculum seems to be very haphazard in all the subjects and left to the schools and teachers just to muddle through. Again, parents should be making something happen about this.\n\n#12 - Agree 100%. Every single English language textbook I have ever seen is absolutely SHIT. There has been no effort to localize the books for individual countries. \n\n#13 & #14 - Platitudes.\n\n#15 - Rote learning has its place... so half agree on that one.\n\n#16 - \"School staff and above should listen to those with more experience.\"\n\nA definite maybe... but it ain\'t happening so don\'t sweat it!\n\n#17 - \"You don\'t see an art teacher who can\'t draw or a P.E. teacher who can\'t run.\"\n\nYes, you do... well, at least I do! The English language isn\'t the only subject riddled with incompetent and ineffective teachers. Poor training and oversight of teachers is one of the biggest problems that is missing off this list.\n\n#18 - Agree 100%. Grammar is just a waste of time. Social media has pretty much destroyed any value it ever had in English language communication. This should only be taught at the university level.\n\n#19 - Agree somewhat... contextual use of vocab is essential if the students are going to remember what they are taught.

I was actually referring to having ideas and an approach on how to improve your lessons and teaching. I only really have an opinion on the science department at my school. I\'m the head science teacher. We use the British curriculum and students have to pass a language proficiency test in order to attend science classes taught in English. Our students can and do fail. I wouldn\'t have it any other way. \r\n\r\nWhen I first started at my school, we were missing certain funds. Several months later a very important and powerful lady at the school retired early. She was asked to leave because she had embezzled a ridiculous amount of money over a long period of time. More and more details keep creeping out, and it\'s very upsetting that she could have stolen so much for so long and seemingly get away with it. It remains a huge black eye for our school and rightly so. Let\'s hope it doesn\'t happen again. The school is doing their best to make amends. This woman should be in prison, but what can you do?\r\n\r\nThe great thing about teaching science is that we deal with facts and what we know. My students are always encouraged to ask questions. There are no stupid questions. One of my students not so long ago asked me about a movement of people who think the world is flat. Other students sniggered and we talked about it at length. I\'ve conditioned my kids to always ask questions in my science classes. They can do what they like in other classes, but in my class we use the scientific approach. \r\n\r\nI didn\'t have any support when I started so I had to learn as I went along. Trial and error. Which I guess is true for a lot of teachers. Now I have lots of support and I\'m studying more. I can afford it and my school pay towards my studies. I\'m lucky. I know that. \r\n\r\nSomething we like to say in science is, \"opinions don\'t change facts\". We\'re all entitled to our opinions, but that\'s all they are; opinions. But let\'s move away from misrepresenting others\' opinions which I\'m witnessing more and more on here (and in life). It\'s an ugly trend within people to want to be right.

The big problem with it is that the usufract ends with the life of the holder.   You cant leave it to your kids. another problem is that it depends on the Land Office Official as to whether he will allow it to be registered if he thinks it is designed to bypass the foreign ownership laws.\r\nThis is what Thai law says -\r\n\r\nThe laws regarding Usufructs in Thailand are found in section 1417 of the Thailand Civil and Commercial Code. Usufruct is a right which allows an original owner to retain ownership of the real estate. The usufruct holder is then allowed to enter and occupy the property\r\n\r\nUsufructs have both pros and cons.\r\n\r\nThe main advantage is that there is no requirement under the Thailand law for a payment for the transfer of the usufruct right. A Usufruct is available for the life term of the holder. A holder of the Usufruct right is allowed to lease or rent out the land and receive a payment pursuant to a rental agreement. The usufruct can be registered for the life term of the usufruct holder. This is in contrast to a normal lease agreement which has a maximum term of 30 years. A longer time period may be important for foreign persons seeking to reside in Thailand.\r\n\r\nHowever the holder of the usufruct is not the lawful owner of the real estate. Additionally, a usufruct is not transferable in the usufruct holder\'s estate if they die. The owner of the land is able to grant more than one usufruct on the same land. Therefore, the usufruct is not necessarily exclusive to a single usufruct holder.\r\n\r\nThe specific law prohibiting the owner from granting an additional usufruct after the first, and the granting of such a second usufruct, is up to the discretion of the Land Department official to whom the application is made.\r\n\r\nAlthough the Thai law does not necessarily prohibit usufructs for foreigners, the final decision to grant a usufruct is up to the discretion of the Land Department official.\r\n\r\nAn important consideration for a foreigner to remember is the Land Department official will check whether the usufruct is being used to circumvent the law i.e. as a means of transferring real estate ownership for non-Thai citizens. Usufructs are primarily intended for various commercial enterprises, such as agriculture, mining, and stone collection.\r\n\r\nAlthough the Thai law does not necessarily prohibit usufruct for foreigners, the final decision to grant a usufruct is up to the discretion of the Land Department official.\r\n\r\nAn important consideration for a foreigner involved as well as the Land Department official is whether the usufruct is being used to circumvent the law forbidding the transfer of real estate ownership for non-Thai citizens. Usufruct, pursuant to the language of the Thai law, is primarily intended for various commercial enterprises, such as agriculture, mining, and stone collection.\r\n\r\nUnder Thai law, the right to reside on property pursuant to a usufruct is not expressly stated. However, this right is generally assumed to be included within the right to a usufruct within the right to occupy.\r\n\r\nThe types of activities that are expressly referred to in the Thai law include obtaining the fruits of the land, mining, forestry and masonry. What is important to note is that all of these occupations are already expressly prohibited to foreigners pursuant to the Foreign Business Act B.E. 2542 (A.D. 1999)\r\n\r\nAccordingly, since a foreigner would not be allowed to participate in these business activities, the only remaining activity would be the right to occupy. The right to occupy would include the right to reside on the property. Nevertheless, if a foreigner intends to use a usufruct for solely the right to occupy or reside on the property, and not for the expressed commercial activities as stated by the Thai law, it is possible that the Land Department official may decide that the usufruct is being used to circumvent the law and advise that the foreigner should register a right of habitation, which is a separate and different right, than a usufruct.

It happens but not often.\n\nThe big money is usually teaching jobs like Physics, Math or Chemistry.  Those teachers can make B150,000 or more per month with all the benefits. Teaching any college level class for HS students going overseas can also pay very well.\n\nI have known admin whose wages were on par with any large school district in the states. Sometimes, HS counselors come close.\n\nESL and elementary teachers tend to be towards the bottom of the Baht heap.\n',0,'124.122.46.62',1,'2017-12-14 01:11:36','2017-12-14 01:39:50'),(6401,32153,'Jack','upphils@bung.com','Not in the Sand','Sam \r\n\r\nNice reflections.\r\n\r\nThe lesson learned: Just because information is found on the internet does not make it true.\r\n\r\nOver the years there have been a few guys frequently posting here about how they make 2 to 3 times more than the highest salary ever posted on a reliable job site in Saudi or surrounding countries.\r\n\r\nWhile I won’t say these guys talking about all the big bucks there are to be had in the land of sand are all full of beans, it would seem obvious the number of jobs paying multiple times the going rate is very small.\r\n\r\nThe reality is being a professional in the field of education can lead to quality salary and a very nice lifestyle, but it will rarely lead to riches, despite what is sometimes written by people online to make themselves look good.\r\n\r\nThis is not a site where articles are edited and vetted for accuracy, just because you read it on Ajarn does not make it a fact.\r\n\r\nI have worked in a number of countries, and I have made more money abroad than here in Thailand but like you I generally prefer to live here than elsewhere.\r\n\r\nGood luck, but my advice (which you will probably ignore) is when looking for a long term career working internationally don’t limit your options to teaching.\r\n',0,'58.8.184.221',1,'2017-12-14 01:48:28','2017-12-14 01:57:04'),(6402,32153,'Daniel','intedsource@gmail.com','Bangkok','Those jobs are out there, and plenty are here. The bigger challenge is the competition you\'re facing for them. As Jack pointed out, the number of schools that pay more than what you typically see advertised is quite small in the larger education market. That being said, globally there are many international schools that do provide salaries and benefits well above the equivalent of $4,000 - especially if you factor in the other benefits. \n\nIn Thailand there are at least 15 to 20 schools that pay quite well, and a handful that pay extremely well. Take a look at a few examples: http://tiny.cc/salaryscales. The lowest there (assuming that STA\'s new scale has continued to rise) offers a minimum of just over 131,000 baht/month ($4,000+) when you factor in the housing allowance and bonus. The top example, with housing and other benefits again included, puts you at just over a minimum of 200,000 baht/month ($6,000+). In both cases, those represent the BOTTOM of their scales, and that\'s not mentioning the flights, health insurance and other perks. One of the four does show a second scale for \'other\' teachers, which is probably local hires for them.\n\nThe hard part is figuring out how to land one of those positions if you\'re already here. You\'re going up against a lot of applicants from around the world, especially for the best paying schools, which will usually only hire two or three local teachers each year.\n\nOn the plus side, especially if you can live with being outside the Land of Smiles for a spell, a lot of other comparable international schools around the world pay just as much as these ones. Check out internationalschoolcommunity.com and look at the \'Compare school salaries\' page. You\'ll find many of them there.\n\nGetting noticed means being different. Find a way to build up yourself so that you are offering something that other candidates are not. Simultaneously, start getting to know teachers at the schools you are aiming for. Attend PD, network with them, ask for advice in your area of expertise and build up a relationship. A lot of the teachers at these schools are hired because they\'ve gotten to know others there and are recommended.\n\nIt\'s absolutely not easy.

You can\'t change people like that anyway. \r\nIt all went South when a notorious teacher returned from an assignment. For 2 months teaching was fun. Then Attila the Hen returned and things went in the toilet. This woman had zero personal skills. Total dictator. Over controlling and no team consciousness. Morale instant zero. I wasn\'t overly surprised given the school atmosphere. The semi military assembly\'s,with the ever watchful Thai teachers patrolling the lines of students. Then the free for all classroom antics of super immature teens. Is this 2017 or did I miss something? Over control and under control in the same breath. Yeah that will work. \r\nThe whole system is unworkable. Believing the kids are (naughty) so ridiculous. Oppress and over control  them and then set them up for a free for all in the classroom. Great idea. No wonder the kids are so immature compared to any teenager I have ever been exposed to. Maybe because all day they hit each other in the head and its taking its toll. This is basic stuff, any hit to the head is an insult to the brain. I\'m disgusted with the archaic way these schools are being run and the teaching style being implemented. Top to bottom.

I liked it. It is well written and full of interesting ideas to reflect upon.\n\nThis is Ignasi, a teacher from Spain who taught in Bangkok in one of those middle range international schools (65,000B/month) and decided to go elsewhere in order to make/save more money. \n\nAfter 5 years making 5000$ a month in Kazakhstan, and saving 90% of my salary, because here the package is just excellent, the question is: was it worth it? Mmmm... Honestly I have my doubts. \n\nLiving in a place that doesn\'t make you happy is hard, really hard, especially in the long run.  Like you I love Thailand. I don\'t know why. It\'s just a matter of feeling. It makes me feel good.\n\nLong story short, I think moving out of Thailand and teach elsewhere for money can be a good option depending on your personality type and priorities. If you are a money orientated person, that will definitely suit you. But if you are the kind of person who values other things, mmm... then probably not. Besides, some inherit properties in their home countries and now can happily live accepting mid-range salaries. So the options are many, and as I said, it depends on one\'s priorities and personal situation. \n\nThe million dollar question though continues being: What is best, living in the \"here and now\" and \"sanuk\", \"sanuk\"? (like most Thais do); or sacrifice our present time for a better future? (like most Westerns tend to fall into blindly).\n\nIn my case the answer is clear: moving to Kazakhstan was not fully worth it. I am coming back to Bangkok at the end of this academic year. Why not? I feel I ruined my health and got older at a faster pace than normal due to  the low quality food, the extreme climate conditions, the air pollution, and the sadness it brings staying in a place where you feel you do not want to be at.

I came to teach in Thailand in 1987 - a lot has changed in Thailand and around the world.\n\nA couple of points:\n\nChina is the new Middle East. I have seen appalling salaries in the ME lower than in my own country (UK). So you will see less of the high salaries.  China offers low and high salaries. In a good school as HoD you will get circa 70,000rmb (Read 7,000pounds a month) and housing, flights, insurance, PD allowance in addition. That is savings potential.\n\nSchools in Bangkok have reduced their interest in local expat teachers. and I have seen a big shift to agencies. Many agents simply see the ad in say TES and then pretend they are offering the representative agents. They aren\'t. they will push your name and grab their fee fi successful, which most of the time they are not. Invest in Search associates or ISS with fairs in Bangkok. Schools can then start to get to know you even is you are not successful the first time.\n\nMany schools/Heads don\'t want to recruit a person because they love Thailand, they want to recruit an educator who loves teaching and  happens to like Thailand. This needs to be made clear which is why your plan to go to another country does work for many. But don\'t be surprised if you suddenly find you love your new country for  different reasons and stay longer than planned! \n\nMy viewpoint is as an experienced Head and teacher in many countries (3 times in Thailand.)

Unless the school takes seriously which most do not, you are just some good looking farang to turn up, look good, and pretend to teach.

Everyone wins (well except the kids of course) – a bit like from the fire and into the oven.

What was not fun was the useless foreigners I had to endure who would sleep at their desk, have no commitment for their jobs, agencies who scrimped and saved, would not pay you holidays. Honestly I thought the kids in Government schools really appreciated us being there. It all depends why you want to be here. Some think their blond hair and blue eyes is all they need. Well In some schools yes, but in the good ones you need to have some qualifications and 3 years’ experience. If you want to make a difference you can. Maybe. Depending on the school. If you are planning coming to Thailand to make a million forget it OK. You need some experience first. Your good looks still only go so far.

I began working as an English  teacher in Thailand 30 years ago. \n\nNot a lot  has changed since then except for the growth of the international schools and English programs in some of the better schools. There parents feel confident that their children will get a better education but at a great financial outlay. So money is a huge factor. \n\nThere are some successful Thai system schools like the Triudom Suksa or University Demonstation schools where the Thai elite send their children. They have to pay a lot and have influence to get into theses establishments but once in their futures are assured. These schools have a high success rate in getting their students into the top universities as it\'s a constant exam preparation process. The students will usually attend tutorial schools in English and science after school where they learn to navigate the absurdities of the Thai exams. So it\'s important to live in Bangkok. \n\nIn the English test it\'s mastering the Chinese puzzle complexity of multiple choice tests . it\'s the ability to hold 5 deliberately confusing choices in ones head without going insane so as to make an informed guess as to the corrrct answer.  It\'s an IQ test in effect or a test in knuckling down to put up with a failed system because your parents and grandparents put up with it and in turn you will subject the mental torture on your own children. \n\nTo reform the system would mean changing the funtamentals  of Thai culture and only an upheaval like communist revolution will bring that into existence. It\'s probably not education as we think in the west but it reflects the culture of a self- perpetuating elite in Asia. There is not much chance for a rural student to get into the prized careers of engineering, medicine, dentistry and business. \n\nOnce you accept this you realize tinkering with the system won\'t work and the farang contribution is only to make it look good on the outside like planting some flowers outside a state run orphanage for mental or disabled children to make it look nice while inside the neglect and suffering is ignored. A situation which is all too common here. If you think education is badly managed, social care and welfare is medieval! \n\nTry your best with the Thai students who respond to your efforts to help them master the skills of English. Maybe your contribution won\'t be wasted and with sheer ability and hard work one of your students will make it to a good college and into a well- paying job at the end of it.

The belief that this is a bad aspect of Thai society (a belief I hold) is purely subjective, but one of the first things that is taught in expatriate training is the need to adjust to the local culture and do not expect you will be able to change the local culture to fit your own personal and cultural values and beliefs. \n\nAnd we cannot also separate the political system from the educational system. Teaching English to rural Thai children is far down the list of priorities the current political leadership has in its educational policies. The first priority is to teach values and beliefs which create unquestionable support for the existing social hierarchy for obvious reasons, therefore critical thinking is not strongly encouraged. \n\nCriticizing governments for using educational policies for political advantage could be aimed at governments around the world and is not something uniquely to be found in Thailand.\n\nIf we want to make long lists of aspects of living in Thailand which we don’t like, I suspect I could make a list as long as anyone else.\n\nBut are these simplistic complaints useful to the average teacher in Thailand? \n\nI am not implying teachers should not try to do what they can to help the students and try to make small incremental improvements.  But presenting lists of everything one thinks is wrong with Thailand is not going to be received well by Thai educators and government officials and will likely have a negative effect. I have had a few conversations with administrators at Thai schools about the difficulties of working with “farang” teachers. The complaints I have heard usually have nothing to do with actual teaching, but about disagreements over the school or government policies. If you were hired to teach English, do not be surprised if your attempts to change school or governmental policies will not be looked upon as helpful extra duties carried out with no pay.\n\nThese types of simplistic lists of how bad everything is in Thailand seem quite popular on Ajarn,com and gather a lot of views and support from like-minded ethnocentric individuals, but over my time working and living in Thailand I have seen no proof engaging in anti-Thai rants is of any actual help to real teachers working in Thai schools. \n\nSo Mark, how many Thai government officials have contacted you to help redesign the educational system in Thailand after reading your list?\n',0,'171.97.34.90',1,'2017-12-19 04:58:18','2017-12-19 08:41:17'),(6419,32142,'Kevin','kevindempsey56@yahoo.com','Bkk','Thank you Jack and Cha for your interesting comments!

This is the reality. After 12 years of english study you are expected to jump through this miasama. No wonder most Thais can\'t utter a simple sentence or panic if they are asked \" what are you going to do when you graduate\"? I asked this of very intelligent students studying in Trium  Udom  Suksa next door to Chula where they all assume they will get to. They will.  \r\nAnyway .. Best of luck ., the Thai people are lovely. They have survived without learning a foreign language. The ones who need English to survive will get there .. the others will find ways to get by without it. It\'s not that important.

I am a Malaysian with fair skin. I consider English my native language, though I also speak Thai, Japanese, Cantonese, Mandarin and Malay. I have only taught English in Japan but that\'s a whole different story. I have been coming to Thailand for many years and is now married to a Thai from the heartland. \nOne of my best friend is a Puerto Rican American(one of the most unprejudiced most liberal person I have met in this world). I totally understand your feelings and appreciate you sticking to it and staying back to embrace only the good. I agree, the land of smiles also shares the same racial prejudice behaviors as all other countries throughout Asia. I think the prejudice issue in Asia may be much more subtle than in America but interestingly, I have to say, I have never been mistreated in anyway anywhere in America. Very interestingly, not in Nebraska, not even in Wyoming. But this was back in the nineties. It may be very different now.\nI have also travelled quite extensively in Thailand back in the nineties. I remembered making friends with many people from various countries and was also very well accepted by the locals being from a neighboring country(I have to admit, I did not see or had a chance to meet any African decent person here back in the days). Fast forward back to 2017/2018, I now see a very different Thailand. I am glad to see more black folks now traveling in Thailand. I also see an urban Thailand that idolize anything Japanese/Korean. A rural backpacking industry that segregates and caters to different race and culture. It is now obvious to see hotels that is only visited by upper class urban Thais and Chinese. And there are businesses that only want to serve Caucasians. Shops that are plastered with Chinese characters and some restaurants that only have menu in English(not even in Thai).\nAnd believe it or not, my partner and I were frowned for walking into a Reggae bar ordering a beer. I am a huge reggae music fan. Global village? Maybe true in a way.

Mostly in Bkk with language academies and private, corporate tutoring. I eventually got tired of the Bkk rat race lifestyle and accepted an offer with a Thai government school in a rural area.\r\nHUGE mistake. I was a teacher in my native country in a public school as well, but what I encountered in Thai schools is absolute rubbish and a waste of my skills, time and dedication as a career educator. I read the previous comments and agree with just about everything that has been written.\r\nBut one other aspect I\'d like to point out is how Foreign teachers are discriminated against in the public school systems here. I\'ll give you newbies some examples to contemplate before you decide to accept that job:\r\n1. One year non renewable contracts. We relocate thousands of miles to come here to teach, incur loads of expenses, and the best they can offer us is a 1 year contract whose renewal is  based on the admin\'s whims or whether they like your shirt color.  Nothing to do with your experience, contributions to the school, professional conduct and playing by the rules.\r\n\r\n2.Verbal, not written  amendments to the contract are always being done on the sly by the admin to favor them, not you the teacher. My partner\'s school has been extorting several hundred baht per month from the foreign teachers to pay for the school\'s electricity, food and parking!\r\nWhen they questioned this policy, the admin replied in two ways. First it\'s not up for discussion and second, all their contracts will not be renewed next year. Doesn\'t matter that my partner\'s contract expires for July 2018. Several years teaching there and then  you\'re out!\r\n\r\n3. Foreign teachers are not eligible for unemployment insurance, benefits or even any kind of severance package. I hired a Thai lawyer to work on my case of wrongful termination. He decided after several months that he was not gonna go up against the M.O.E. Ironically the same lawyer did represent me against a teaching agency operated by an American a few years prior. We won with the Ministry of Labor.. Another thing, STAY AWAY FROM ANY AGENCY THAT SEEMS DODGY, DISHONEST AND UNPROFESSIONAL.\r\n\r\n4. To add insult to injury, the government school I taught at, the admin allowed the English program students to EVALUATE  the foreign teachers! If I had been able to do that when I was in high school, I would have written anything to get rid of the teachers I did not like.\r\nNothing is based on fact, just whether you allowed the students to use their mobiles in class or if I had to exert any discipline in the course of my teaching duties. \r\nIt\'s all rubbish and a face saving gimmick to avoid any responsibility on the admin\'s or student\'s failures. Thai students don\'t mind being hit with a bamboo stick by Thai teachers, but no way will they tolerate a foreign teacher telling them to be quiet and pay attention, or fail them.\r\n\r\n5. I could go on but you get the picture. There\'s a lot wrong with the Thai educational system and the way foreign teachers are treated. \r\nI will NEVER waste my time in a Thai classroom again. I did have some good hard working Thai students, but those were the exceptions. The rest were just wasting time and space.\r\nNow the students I work with are NOT Thai and their English skills for a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10  year old is way beyond what any Mathayom level  Thai government student is capable of doing.\r\nSo, I will take my experience elsewhere, where I can earn a decent wage and be able to teach instead of baby sitting a bunch of brainwashed monkeys.\r\n\r\nCheers and a Happy Healthy New Year to all\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n',1,'171.5.236.163',1,'2017-12-28 08:15:55','2017-12-28 12:38:52'),(6424,24144,'Adrian','masuk39@gmail.com','Chiang Mai, Thailand','I\'ve taught English in Indonesia for 8 years and at an Aussie Uni for 1 year plus some on-line teaching with Korean students.

I teach at a public school where my students are actually less unruly in general than my former international school. While your stereotypes of the problems in Thai education are mostly  spot on I disagree with your ideas of methods of dealing with unruly classrooms. To breakdown why I disagree\n\nA.  As several have already mentioned I only have these kind of issues with 1/12 classes at my government run school. You make it seem like 90% of your students are rascals. If that is indeed true move schools.\n\nB. At my first international school the threat wasn\'t \"you keep talking and i\'ll have you spanked,\". It was \"you keep acting like that and ill send you to the vice directors office who won\'t hit you; but will call your parents to come to the school in person and they\'ll lose face and probably punish you severely\" which to a 14 year old is probably worse. \n\nThis was for major infractions/to make an example and it worked. I probably used this method 1-2 times in problem classes the first month of an entire year and no major issues happened after that. Minor offenses (and when I say minor I don\'t mean talking during class or using cell phones, I had no trouble grabbing a cell phone or just moving students to a desk right in front of me. I mean throwing things and so on) I\'d have them stand in the back of the room for the period or take their books so they had more homework or delay their lunch for 15 minutes. Something significant to them but certainly not having them smacked. 6 weeks into the year this also worked, nothing worse than the occasional phone which I\'d take.\n\nC. I\'ve also worked at public/government run schools and contrary to what another poster said it may be illegal but students DO get caned at public schools. This may be illegal in Thailand but so is prostitution. I\'ve never had a student sent to be smacked even though I could because I think it\'s wrong. However corporal punishment isn\'t necessary. Taking their phone and telling them they have to go to their homeroom teacher and write an apology letter in perfect english goes a long way. Again, within a month and a couple students a class no one causes problems anymore.\n\nD. If this sounds harsh (though not nearly as harsh as the blog\'s OP) after the first day (with good classes) and first month (with trouble classes) I\'m now extremely lenient and friendly.

He will go out of business if he doesn\'t offer more attractive packages. Other agencies are more than welcome to come along and take that business away. Only problem is they won\'t pay more either. They will be stuck with the same problem. Thus, the demise of agencies all over Thailand. \n\nYou must remember - agencies are businesses. Most just want warm bodies to send in. They want these warm bodies to get through the day without getting any complaints. They want their teachers to be good, but they won\'t lose any sleep if they\'re not.

I am not going to accept something as a “fact” just because you say it is so, and as far as I know there are few reliable statistics kept on the industry but I suspect you are generally correct in stating ESL salaries have stagnated in nominal terms and have dropped in real terms over the past couple of decades, with the changing nature of international trade and changing technology this is what one would expect. .\n\nBut whinging does not change market forces.\n\nThere are many injustices in the world including people being forced to live in extreme poverty and being affected by wars and violence, therefore I doubt the cause of the white men wanting to live in Thailand not being able to earn as much money as they want teaching English is going to catch the public’s sympathy. \n\nPersonally, I saw early on that teaching ESL in Thailand was not the best long term option for me, although it was a good choice at one stage in my life. Teaching English did not pay well and a quick analysis of the industry made it clear to me many years ago that it was very unlikely to be any substantial improvements (anyone with a backgrounds in business and economics can easily example why this is the case) in the industry.

I understand the short-term psychological benefit of maintaining one’s self-esteem by blaming someone/something else for one’s present less than optimal situation, but in the long-term I don’t think blaming Thailand or everyone in the ESL industry in Thailand for one’s own inadequate income is likely to lead to success and happiness.\n\nIf you disagree, ok, whine away and hope for the best.\n',0,'122.154.90.66',1,'2018-01-15 05:10:20','2018-01-15 07:47:08'),(6462,785,'Brian Corlett','brianpcorlett@yahoo.co.uk','Nakhon Sri Thammarat','I have a Thai wife.

I am not denying that speaking English has its benefits. But so does the ability to speak any other second or third languages. \n\nWhat Thailand needs is to have more information be translated into their own language - to have many many more good books translated into Thai in order for them to be accessible to as many people as possible. However, despite the fact that Thais have better English  communication skills relative to other East-asian, this has not happened. Guess what? People from poor desperate  countries tend to speak and read foreign languages well because it\'s the door to opportunity. But countries that are determined to reach a high-level of development WILL invest in its own language and intellectual culture. They will make the democratizing process of knowledge the highest agenda of their education. This is why East Asian countries could develop even if their English remains appalling.  \n\nWhat I am seeing in Thailand is that the upper-middle classes are sending their kids to International Schools. They want their kids to be a part of an \"educated English-speaking class.\" The english-speaking classes in Thailand see their ability to use English well as a sort of privilege marker. But they\'ve never been committed to using their \"privilege\" to spread the knowledge they into the local language. Nay, they don\'t even have the ability to use their mother language well anymore. It\'s a fashionable in Thailand for the educated class to speak Thai with english terms pr phrases sprinkled all over the place. Some think it\'s chic to do so.  This is a sort of colonial mentality (even though the Thais were never colonized) that benefits only individuals but not the society. \n\nThis is why Thailand still don\'t have a working democracy. What they have is a class-division mentality. English so far has been used as an excuse for the society\'s failure to spread knowledge to the rural poor. You cannot teach all Thai to speak English, since the primary language of education is still and will always be in Thai.

I think the biggest issue with tefl (in Thailand in particular) is the use of agents. Agents, of course, skim off the top of everyone\'s wages for every single payment from start to end of employment. They are parasites. Every single one of them, no matter what BS they try to pull to convince you that they are \'more than just agents\'.\n\nAgents seem to dominate most of the jobs on offer in Thailand so they\'re kind of difficult to avoid. Ours does things like make all the foreign staff come in weeks before the Thai staff each term to decorate their classrooms (!) Obviously, this is just to make the agent \'look good\' to the owner of the school. We (foreign teachers) work much harder than the Thais. This is a new one on me, it has to be said. Rumors abound of agents giving \'kickbacks\' from staff salaries to the owner(s) too in many cases. I wouldn\'t doubt for a New York minute that such a thing goes on.\n\nSalaries have frozen here, the cost of living has rocketed and the workloads have increased. I now have to work online too to make a decent salary. I get about 65,000-75,000 baht a month and it\'s still not all that great. It\'s certainly not enough to think about retirement plans etc. \n\nAdd to this frustration, a proliferation of Pinoy teachers who have bowed and scraped and enslaved themselves to such a level it has impacted on everyone else. Face it, TEFL as a \'career\' of any kind in Thailand is over. Unless you\'re prepared to work 60 hours a week with few benefits (the \'Health insurance\' packages are a joke in most cases) forget it. Stay out here too long and you risk being booted out of the country if you fall ill (no matter if you\'ve got a wife and kids and ten years\' of \'helping the nation\' by teaching in the government schools). Yup. Time to think how \'valued\' we really are to these schools/countries.\n\nDespite this, I don\'t get angry anymore. The best thing to do (if you enjoy teaching, which I do) is to get qualified. I have obtained an M.Ed now and will return to my home country to get properly licensed. If anyone is in the same boat, you just need to take a deep breath , relax and plan your escape. Everyone is different, but I\'ll need about a million baht to return and start teaching in my country (apartment/flight/money to support myself whilst I train etc). Just choose the path of least resistance when it comes to earning cash to save. For me, that means either the middle east or China later in the year once I\'ve saved a little.\n\nSo please everyone in the same predicament, don\'t get mad. Don\'t cry. Just plan your way out and don\'t get angry at how the education systems in far away lands work. Do you think they\'ll ever listen to Mr Farang?  You might as well bring your cat with you and ask them to listen to Mr. Tiddles\' opinions. It\'s all about the money and status, I\'m afraid with many Asian education systems. The desperately sad thing is that the kids\' education is barely important to many(not all) schools. \n\nJust do what you can (your best for the students) and don\'t get angry or upset at things you will never be able to change. Believe me, I\'ve got myself into really angry moods (punching walls at home once!) at the frustrations of the Thai education system and feeling \'trapped\'.  \n\nThere are ways out if you need one. Find them and use them. Because nothing will change.\n\nOn a final note, tefling is great for a youngster wanting to try life abroad for a couple of years. Probably unfair on the kids in some cases, but I don\'t think the (now diminishing) presence of western teachers makes this education system any worse.  Some teflers find that they enjoy teaching and return home to teach in their own countries.  But as a career? Well unless you\'re talking about some of those high paying jobs in the middle-east, as your sister said, \'You\'re digging your own grave.\'\n\nAnd as for trying to introduce \'Democratic Learning\' in Thailand, that\'s about as likely as John Goodman being the next Wonderwoman. Actually, I\'m not a huge fan of Summerhill myself, but that\'s another story (I prefer more traditional education models mixed in with a little  modern cognitive learning - think the top private/grammar schools in the west and you\'re there). \n\nOh, I forgot. You might make a career out of tefl if you become an agent. Personally, I couldn\'t live with myself if I did that. I do have some morals left, even after living in Thailand for a couple of years!\n\nAnyway, enjoyed your rant and good luck!',0,'183.89.96.13',1,'2018-01-24 14:57:12','2018-01-25 01:04:43'),(6485,32186,'Steve','steve_middleton_uk@yahoo.co.uk','Bangkok','If you were trying to use Harvard referencing, you forgot the year of the publishing.

I can\'t decide which at this point. You also appear not to have changed a bit since I worked with you at Mahidol in 2001. That\'s 17 years and you are still whining about TEFL and thinking it ought to work the way you want it to. You just don\'t get it and by now it\'s obvious you never will. \r\n\r\nSeems to me that the best advice I can offer is for you to see that your health scare was nature\'s way of giving you a wake up call; nature\'s way of telling you that all that negativity you allow to fester in your mind has consequences on your health. The poisonous ideas that you allow yourself to carry around in your head are seriously deleterious and thus damaging to your general wellbeing.\r\n\r\nAlthough I\'m married to one, I am not a  Buddhist myself, and so I have undoubtedly absorbed some of their thinking and core beliefs often unconsciously. I find it ironic that one such is the idea that all living things have good and bad elements inside them depending on good and bad past actions and if allowed to stay in the host body, they can cause havoc.\r\n\r\nFor example, Buddhists will release birds and fish back into the wild usually near or in temples to gain good karma and to expel and expiate bad actions However, they also believe that if, for example, you go to a river next to a temple and remove said fish and eat them, you take on those bad actions yourself and receive bad karma.\r\n\r\nThat\'s what I was thinking as I read your post above. You seem to have let your mind get poisoned by unnecessary pablum which you seem incapable of letting go, something in itself quite un-Buddhist and which is slowly causing a great strain on your mental state.\r\n\r\nMy advice is find another occupation less detrimental to your mental health or nature may not be so forgiving next time around.\r\n\r\nTom\r\n',1,'178.132.44.216',1,'2018-01-27 16:04:30','2018-01-28 01:49:25'),(6494,32186,'Steve Schertzer','esl_steve@yahoo.com','Bangkok','The comment section of a blog tends to fall into two camps:  (1) those who agree with the subject matter and some of the points within it; or (2) those who disagree with the subject matter and some of the points within it.  \nThere seems to be a third camp here, which can be called \"nothing to contribute here, but I just thought I\'d say something\", or \"ad hominem.\"  Those who agree may contribute to the conversation by offering other solutions to the problems laid out in the blog.

They didn\'t pay sick days before we worked for them, They said they used to (a collosal lie) but teachers used to take too many of them so they scrapped it completely. We tried to explain to them that they should limit the number of sick days people can have. Have a reward and punishment based system. They said in the most condescending manner possible, \"Na, we think it\'s better the way it is\". \r\n\r\nWe took this on the chin at first, but resentment started to brew. We were teaching kindergarten kids, so you can imagine all the bugs and illnesses going around. One teacher contracted \'pink eye\' from the kids. He went to the doctor and got some eye drops. The doctor wrote him a note explaining to his employers (the agency) that he needs to take the week off. The pink eye is very contagious and he should not go in. He asked the agency if he would be paid, and they told him, \"NO!\". The kind of how-dare-you-ask no. The pink eye was the catalyst for change (bet that sentence has never been uttered before). \r\n\r\nThe foreign staff called a meeting. The agency said we couldn\'t. We said we\'re having a meeting. They said they were too busy. We said we\'re having a meeting and then they came. We put our case forward and they gave us every excuse under the sun not to pay any sicks days. We told them that without sick days the job is basically part-time. You don\'t work you don\'t get paid. We won\'t feel bad taking sick days because we don\'t get paid. After a lot of passive aggressiveness they offered us a deal. We could have two sick days paid. The only caveat being that we wouldn\'t get them paid until the end of the contract. We said absolutely not. We went back and forth and we agreed to five sick days paid in full. The days were also to be paid at the time. Not great but better than before. Oh, they said we must have a doctor\'s note. We said sure, we\'ll give you a note as soon as we can pay to see the doctor from the health insurance you promised us. We never got it and they never got their doctor\'s notes. \r\n\r\nI still have friends who work for the agency and they still get their 5 days. Apparently the agency once said something vaguely along the lines of, \"If you use all your sick days, it may affect your bonus\". Teachers asked them to articulate more and put it into the contract. They didn\'t and it was all forgotten about. \r\n\r\nAgreeable people earn less money and take more shit than less agreeable people. We stopped being so agreeable as it was only serving the interests of the agency. We stuck up for ourselves as a group and we got something that was important to us. That something has carried on to the next group of teachers.\r\n\r\nIf anyone is offended by  a group of teachers fighting for (and getting) some sick days paid, I\'d like to tell them simply, \"don\'t ask me why I fought my agency for paid sick days, and I won\'t ask you why you wouldn\'t\". We all have our motives. Mine was honest. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n',0,'68.235.61.19',1,'2018-01-29 03:19:26','2018-01-29 03:49:50'),(6497,32186,'Jack','Upphilsbung@hole.com','About here','Steve\r\n\r\nI just don’t believe your desire to paint yourself as a “victim” of the “system” is either useful or positive.\r\n\r\nI am not “defending” the ESL industry, it is what it is. Compared to most professional occupations at home or expat jobs, teaching ESL is a low-paid and low-status occupation where the most important qualification is being born in a country where English is the native language. Whoever promised you anything different? This was true when you started 20 years ago and it is true today.\r\n\r\nThose of us lucky enough to have been born in wealthy Western countries where English is the native language have on average far more opportunities than the vast majority of people on the planet. We can try our luck through education or other means to try to become part of the elite “one percent” which is mostly made up of people from rich countries, or even if we go into a trade instead of a following a professional career path we can expect to end up in the top 20 or 30 percentile of income earners within the world. Almost none of us are part of the 1 billion people on the planet currently living on less than 1 dollar a day or the other billions living just above this benchmark.\r\n\r\nOr those of us lucky enough to be born in rich English speaking countries can even choose to go abroad and find a job teaching English, with being a native of an English speaking country being our main qualification (An option many other people are envious of). Claiming you are a victim because you made this choice is not rational.\r\n\r\nOn average, white guys from rich countries have far more options to make a quality living than the majority of people on the planet. No one forces any of us to go to Thailand to teach English.\r\n\r\nYou admit having taught for 20 years and the industry in your view is getting worse, despite your 20 years of attempting to change the industry. So you can easily see all of your whining and complaining have not changed the industry. Do you expect more whining and complaining to work despite the failure of this strategy for the majority of your working life? I suspect you know you cannot change the ESL industry through writing irrational blog posts.\r\n\r\nSo what is your purpose in playing the victim card?\r\n\r\nGo ahead, whine away, but I have serious doubts your claims of exploitation of the white men who voluntarily come to Thailand  to teach English (who on average make at least double the national average income) or other countries in Asia is likely to grab the public’s imagination.\r\n\r\nBut I am pretty sure you know this. Therefore it would appear you have another purpose. I suspect you are seeking confirmation from like-minded individuals to support your blaming some abstract versions of “them” or the “system” for your extreme unhappiness and despair. \r\n\r\nWhile I do understand the short term psychological benefits of blaming external forces for one\'s situation,  I don’t like the chances of your strategy of playing the victim on having any long-term positive effect on your life.\r\n\r\nIf you disagree, carry on, whine away and come back in a few more years to tell us the results of your chosen path.\r\n',0,'14.207.71.23',1,'2018-01-29 03:35:37','2018-01-29 03:49:50'),(6498,32186,'Nick','set7868bony@gmail.com','Chiang Mai','My agency tax teachers regardless if they have work permits or not.

I cannot comment on the rest of your response as I do not understand it.\n\nI do not like to eat liver. So instead of eating liver for dinner every night and then running around my neighborhood telling everyone how terrible my meal was, I just don’t eat it. I don’t like Hip-Hop music, so instead of listening to loud Hip-Hop music just so I am able to complain about the music when I go to work the next day, I don’t listen to it. I once worked on an assembly line, I hated it, so I quit. Are liver, hip-hop music and working on an assembly line “bad”? I don’t know, they are what they are, I just don’t like them so I avoid them. \n\nI didn’t hate teaching ESL, but I thought I could do better (my personal definition of better) so I gained the skills, experience and education needed to move into other types of work that suited me better. Of course I could have, like Steve, stayed in ESL and complained about it every day, but I prefer my chosen path.\n\nMaybe my personal experience was unique, and while I had one school and its British lackey director try to stiff me out of my final paycheck (I raised a big stink and did get paid in the end), but for the most part I liked and respected most of my co-workers, supervisors, students and other people I encountered in my time teaching English. But, for me, the work was not very intellectually stimulating and the pay was pretty poor. So I moved on. My choices, no one forced me to start or stop teaching English. \n\nEach of us can make our own choices. The English teaching business is what it is, in general a low-paid, low status occupation which allows those of us lucky enough to born in an English speaking country to go abroad and work with little training or few specialized skills except having a good grasp of our mother tongue. I think for many people, teaching ESL for a few years can be a great experience, but not a great career. But there are other people with different opportunities, talents, and desires and might find teaching English a rewarding long-term occupation. I don’t think people who make different choices or have different viewpoint from my own are “wrong.” But we should take responsibility for our choices and not blame others for choices that do not work out perfectly.\n\nI am not going to argue with anyone over the quality of life of an ESL teacher or the overall value of the industry, these are very subjective judgments. \n\nBut I don’t think having a very negative view of the world and instead of doing something to better one’s life decide to blame some abstract concept such as the ESL industry or the system for one’s unhappiness is either useful or healthy.\n\nHey, I am an educator, when I see someone doing something which is causing pain, like Steve is experiencing, I want to help. But a person is not going to learn what they don’t want to know. It is emotionally easier in the short-term to blame external forces for one’s unhappiness, but in the long run this is the path to a wasted and miserable life.\n\nI am not trying to insult Steve, I would actually like to see Steve get some help and change paths, away from wallowing in bitterness and self-pity to a path which is more productive and satisfying. \n\nMy last word on this post.

Yet I have never taken a foreign language class, or used a textbook or any other foreign language learning material which did not have any instructions and explanations in English. I can’t image what my high school Spanish class would have been like if the teacher came in on day one and only spoke Spanish the entire time with explaining what the words meant in English.  I can understand the philosophy behind trying to immerse students in a language, but I wonder if any native English speaking teachers have learned a second language without any guidance or explanation in English, at least during the early stages of learning the language? Would different teaching techniques be used when teaching English to non-native speaks than the techniques used to teach foreign languages to native English speakers?\r\n\r\nAs teachers, I think it is sometimes useful to reflect on our experiences as students as well as our experiences as educators and our knowledge from studying educational research and theory. What has been the teachers\' experiences in learning a foreign language? Immersion or guided in one\'s native language? \r\n\r\nWhile immersion does appear to be able to work in some situations, the fact we have all seen many foreigners who have lived in Thailand and surrounded by the Thai language on a daily basis for years and have not gone beyond the basic beginner stage would seem to indicate immersion alone is no guarantee of producing fluent speakers.

I said I felt it depressing (and might I add now, reprehensible) that anyone would alienate others based on their gender, race and/or socioeconomic circumstances. \n\n“I suspect you could use the fact the average income in Sweden and Bangladesh are exactly the same”\n\nWhat would you like the people of Sweden to do? Apologize for being born? Bend over? Why not compare Japan’s average income with that of the Chinese? I do believe the two countries have a bit of a history. One side being a bit of an asshole to the other during WW2. That would have been more relative. Well, except that they’re most definitely not Caucasian. \n\n “one’s appearance (including gender and skin color) is never considered when applying for a job”\n\nDon’t understand this one. My school has a Chinese program where they insist on you having a bachelor’s degree and you have to be a native-speaker of Chinese. The science program you need a degree in science. The English program you need a degree in education and a CELTA. Oh, and you need to be a native-speaker of English. They make around 55-65k a month. They prefer females. The school’s policy. \n\n“you seem to believe the path to success for native English speaking teachers in Thailand is to play the victim and claim one is being exploited by evil Thais or others”\n\nI haven’t referenced Thais or any others who may or may not have exploited anyone. My whole point was your ‘while males’ comment. This is what I wanted to talk to you about. That’s all I wanted to talk about. You seem to be speaking to Steve and some other members through me. \n\nYes, just agree to disagree. It’s a lot simpler. Or, actually address the points being made. \n',0,'5.135.136.191',1,'2018-02-06 01:51:34','2018-02-06 02:54:21'),(6519,32164,'Jack','Upphilsbung@hole.com','Around about','Craig\r\n\r\nWhy are you building straw men out of thin air?

I would advise, if your employer treats you like crap, demand better and if you don’t get it move on and seek out new opportunities. If you think the entire ESL industry is crap, move on. Or you can stay teaching ESL at the same place while you whine, play the victim and complain about how the exploited white men who want to live in Thailand without any special skills are not given the respect and salaries you and Steve think they deserve for teaching English.

I am also married to a Thai national, have been to Thailand many times, spent time off the beaten tourist path and thus likely understand Thai culture more than the average person who went on vacation there, thought it was really cool and decided to get a teaching job. \r\n\r\nI put on a lot of weight in the past 3 years. I have seen the difference in how people in the US look, or don\'t look at me. I\'m the one who is overweight. It\'s my fault. I understand the article\'s intent is to educate and warn people. That said, I have had a co-worker repeatedly make fun of me being fat. We are actually good friends at work. He also happens to be Philippino. So I figure it\'s a cultural thing similar to Thailand, so don\'t make much of it. \r\n\r\nAgain, I appreciate the author\'s intent and information. But something in the article really struck me. The author complained that teaching agencies make a commission off the teachers they employ. I should hope so! I don\'t engage in any business venture I\'m not going to make money on. To be frank, that makes me question the author\'s attitude just a bit.\r\n\r\nI will tread lightly here. I understand the author\'s intent. I understand Thai culture. But maybe, just maybe, is part of the problem the author\'s attitude? And I do mean PART. Additional disclosure, for perspective. I have been self-employed for several years. What I do doesn\'t take much time. I\'ve sat around the house and gained weight. Guess what? My fault. Part of why I plan on going to Thailand is that you can drop me anywhere in the country and I enjoy walking around and generally people-watching and culture-observing. I also eat healthier when I am in Thailand- much less ice cream, my biggest downfall.\r\n\r\nBottom line: I\'m certainly glad I read the article. I am thankful for yet even more information. In fact, the reason I read this article is because I was led to it when I Googled \"can a fat person get a job in Thailand?\" I have been aware of the ingrained cultural biases in Thailand for nearly 20 years.\r\n\r\nI still believe, even being fat half white, that l control my attitude and destiny- even in Thailand where bias against fat people is more prevalent. Also, I choose not to judge Thai people for their culture. I had a bit of a debate on another cultural issue in South Korea. They eat dog meat there. People were condemning the Koreans. One person even said a person who eats dog meat is subhuman. Huh.... ummmm... NO. It\'s a different culture. It\'s not better. It\'s not worse. It\'s different. I made a point of mentioning that Hindus in India think cows are sacred. Does that mean we\'re subhuman because we eat beef in the US? Of course not. And besides, who has been appointed to make such judgments?\r\n\r\nBut I digress. Good article. Good replies.

I\'ve taught in both the UK and the Thai education system. I too managed to \'almost\' have control of my classes in Thailand by having fun activities and providing rewards and even old fashioned punishments like detention (agreed with parents). \n\nBeing alone with 35-37 eight year olds in a Thai school is a huge challenge of your sanity. No matter what you do, you\'ll find that the pupils show more respect towards the Thai guy fixing the aircon than the \'farang\' teacher. I\'ve seen Thai kids fight, heard them swear in English (quite a lot) and refuse to stop talking to their friends during a reading exercise (teaching reading to Thai kids can be a nightmare if you have a large group of low level pupils).\n\nThe reason for all of this is not always the teacher\'s fault. Nor is it really the pupils\' either. It\'s the system as a whole.\n\nLet\'s be honest. Thai kids have more \'respect\' for Thai teachers for two basic reasons.\n\n1. They speak the same language and can reason with their pupils. \n\n2. Thai teachers tend to have big sticks they beat the kids with for as much as rocking in their chairs. We\'ve all seen this.\n\nNumber (2), in my opinion, undermines any real hope of a western teacher controlling a large class of primary pupils if teaching alone. The pupils only react to this negative reinforcement. If they don\'t fear you, it\'s time to go nuts and do as they wish.\n\nIn my time teaching in Thai schools in the Thai system, I could manage to control most of my classes, but some were simply impossible. Sure, countdowns work for about 1 second. TPR can last a minute or two (if alone with very large groups).\n\nSome subjects are easier than others to maintain control (Phonics/general English). Reading and writing or academic writing can be an absolute nightmare if you teach in a school with kids who only get 2-3 hours per week of English tuition.  I\'ve worked in schools that gave the kids books that were far beyond their capabilities. Books that merge several tenses, regular and irregular verbs and about 30 new vocabulary words for 7 year old Thai children. And the school gave us 50 minutes to get them to read 250 words and answer 3 pages of comprehension questions. All this, when the brightest pupils in the class are still getting to grips with using  regular verbs in the present simple (\"She like dog.\") Yes, I suggested they change the books. I might as well have asked the cat.\n\nThe system is a mess, to be honest. If you see a job with classes of over 35 primary aged  pupils with no assistant available...run away! Particularly if you\'ll be using books way beyond the abilities of the pupils.\n\nOn a positive note, you can make a difference if you \'hang in there\' and become creative with your lessons. But if you\'re forced to do \'pages 42 -45\' of the reading and writing book today, when this book is clearly aimed at native English speaking pupils and not your 3 hours per week mob...don\'t look back!\n\n',0,'49.229.144.33',1,'2018-02-15 18:27:39','2018-02-15 23:13:53'),(6532,32028,'Todd Saed','toddsaed@hotmail.com','Selma','I did his course and found him as above, one of the nicest memorable people you would ever meet.

More importantly lunch was the only time you were allowed off campus, and the only place in walking distance was a tiny \"restaurant\" with equally poor food, and we only went there to smoke and drink sprite.\n\nEven with the choices in my current canteen my school is directly next to a large market, and there are no rules dictating when you can or can\'t leave campus (other than if you\'re supposed to be teaching of course). So I \"eat out\" 90% of the time because I can afford a 35 Baht lunch over a 25 baht one.

As this never happens, we can assume wages are related (on average) to productivity.\r\n\r\nWhether it is in management, computer programming, accounting, marketing, or teaching, the evidence would seem to indicate both are important, equally? I think it really depends on individual situations, but I have seen no evidence showing having more education and understanding more theory makes a person become a less effective teacher. Sure, I and everyone else know at least one great teacher without a degree and someone with a PhD who is completely lost in the classroom, but on average incomes are higher and we can get better jobs as we get both more education and more experience.\r\n\r\nOf course, the theory needs to be relevant. Having a PhD in linguistics probably does little to help out in teaching English to a class of fifty 6 year olds, but I suspect having a PhD in early childhood education (and a few years teaching experience) would be useful.\r\n\r\nPeople who are successful, in teaching or in any other field, generally are life-long learners and are constantly trying to seek information which leads to professional improvement, both theoretical and from practice. With education and theory, we can learn from the experiences of teachers around the world, if we only rely on our own personal experiences we have much more limited information to draw upon. \r\n\r\nSo my answer, is not either or, but both in combination. If you want to be a good teacher, get a solid education and make a habit of reading up on teaching theory, and use these ideas to guide and learn from your personal experience. If you understand the theory, you are more likely to understand why a technique worked in a particular situation and will not assume it will work in every situation.\r\n\r\nJust my take on the topic.\r\n\r\nAn interesting and thought provoking topic which should be of interest to all professional educators. \r\n',0,'61.7.174.87',1,'2018-03-10 12:47:12','2018-03-10 14:30:22'),(6577,32228,'Phil','philip@ajarn.com','Samut Prakarn','Actually Jack, considering you don\'t know me or have never even met me -  how fucking dare you.',0,'115.87.169.164',1,'2018-03-10 14:34:50','2018-03-10 14:35:09'),(6578,32228,'Jack','Upphilsbung@hole.com','In a nice place','Seems I struck a nerve, sorry, grumble on and enjoy compiling your next list of complaints.

Nevertheless, I put in 100% in anywhere I teach and stay away from the politics.

This is certainly evident in the education market in Thailand, with major international schools (such as Brighton College) opening on a regular basis.  Furthermore, if this bitter writer were to venture anywhere outside of his miserable pit of despair, he would discover that Asia is (for better or worse) teeming with backpackers, the newest wave of the young masses seeking to live out their YOLO fantasies, hook up, party, and maybe even hit a temple or two.\r\n\r\nReturning to the topic of TEFL, however, although teaching English in Thailand remains a pathetic excuse of a career, it is still a terrific opportunity for a wide-eyed recent university graduate to have their \"adventure of a lifetime\" before settling into the routine life of a boring office job somewhere in middle England or America.  This writer, as most bitter farang tend to be, have completely forgotten the tingly thrill of one\'s first som tam, the joy of riding a scooter up windy mountain roads, and the surreal joy of being greeted with a chorus of \"good morning teacher\" from a gaggle of Thai kids in an upcountry school.  \r\n\r\nAs far as proper lesson planning and teaching pedagogy are concerned, well, much is up to the school and its investment (or not) in quality resources and support for staff.  Although the typical 20-something ESL teacher is not a trained educator and never will be, a good textbook with some youthful idealism will go a long way to avoid any catastrophes in the classroom.  In any case, if I were a Thai student, I would much rather a fun, enthusiastic younger teacher (even if clueless) than a bitter, jaded expat yelling about the proper use of the present continuous.\r\n\r\nLike or not loathe it, Thailand remains a great place for young graduates to gain incredible experiences and lasting memories while earning enough money to pay the rent.

I feel strongly that (in its most general form) \'Thai culture\' is a great to raise kids.

And I certainly don\'t want to change their world. As a teacher, the support I get is a short-term \'band-aid\' that essentially do no healing. As an old man, I see some awesome minds going to waste and that makes me sad.\r\n\r\nAnd you\'re right that kids are naughty the world over... and in my time we quickly learned some harsh lessons when we went astray. Naughtiness was met head-on with a lot of serious consternation. The modern world has changed a lot from those days and I\'m mostly happy to be a part of it.\r\n\r\nThai kids choose the path of least resistance and this is learned behaviour.

I don\'t know how a highly professional would find themselves working intimately within a school here considering how much they\'d cost to hire. Even as a hypothetical it doesn\'t seem to be in any way plausible. \n\nI\'m a fully qualified teacher from the UK. I\'ve done my extra studies and qualifications, but I don\'t know how much I could bring to the table here when it comes to your average Thai schools. \n\nI first came to Thailand when I\'d just finished university. I didn\'t have any money so decided on a working holiday teaching English. I had a friend from home who got me a job at a private school in Bangkok. My plan was to only teach a year then go home. I did nearly two years and decided I\'d like to further my career in teaching and live in Thailand. During my time teaching at this private school I\'d teach on average 18-22 periods a week. I taught class sizes that ranged from 35-50. I taught in hot classes with old air cons. I taught students of all levels and backgrounds. It was hard work but highly enjoyable.\n\nI went back home and did my PGCE. I started as an assistant and then began teaching formally. I taught back in Liverpool for three years and decided my CV was now strong enough to get myself a good job at an international school in Thailand. I applied early and had a few offers after quite a few interviews. I decided on the job that offered me the best money and the best benefits. \n\nI\'ve now been at the same international school for four years. I have some very qualified and very competent bosses. I teach class sizes of around 16-22 kids. The school seems to have a bottomless pit of money when it comes to resources. I ask for something and I get it. An air con breaks? I\'m moved to another class. My students are awesome. Smart, diligent, hard-working, well-behaved.......I could go on. Everything I was taught after university is geared pretty much towards my teaching environment now. My bosses\' knowledge is pretty much perfectly geared towards the environment we are in now. \n\nIf my old Thai school called me, offered me a job as academic manager with a better salary and better benefits than now, I\'d absolutely say no. I\'d be honest and say there\'s nothing I can do for you. I\'m not qualified. I don\'t really no anyone who is. Offer the job to one of the teachers there who does their job well and has lots of experience. They\'re far more qualified than me in this context. It would be pointless paying me a ton of cash to have my hands tied by budget restraints etc. You need experience from someone from or in this environment. \n\nMy friend still works at the school. He\'s some kind of head teacher. He really is the best person to be in that position. I\'ve told him to get qualified. He told me if he did he wouldn\'t remain at his current school. He\'d do what I did. There lies the cycle of teachers getting more qualified and leaving. \n\nI don\'t know if any universities out there offer any qualifications in teaching  hot, over sized classes with kids of all mixed ability etc. I very much doubt so. Therefore, you play the hand you\'re dealt. Schools do the best with what they\'ve got. \n\nWhat I will say about my old Thai school is the kids seemed more creative. They were left to their own devices a lot more which meant they could have fun being kids. My kids now are almost too perfect. It can be stuffy at times. I sometimes wish my kids now would act up a little bit more. They seem to spend their whole lives studying.

My take is this: (most, but NOT ALL) academic research into education is really more suited for the macro, not micro aspects of teaching.\r\n\r\nTo put it another way: it\'s not pointless academic masturbation for people to get PhDs and publish on the subject, nor should school districts or even governments completely ignore them. People like the aforementioned Dewey DID help revolutionize the field, and their contributions should not be overlooked. However: these contributions largely only trickle down to teachers over time, and are rarely universal, even the best ones. We spent an hour on Noam Chompsky today, for example, on theories that I\'d never apply in any classroom, much less in Thailand. More importantly is that word, theories. In my TEFL course today (designed for complete beginners, I had to sit through a farang whose been here a year lecture and answer questions, sometimes incorrectly today). \r\n\r\nThe the trainer then came back and discussed Noam Chomsky for half an hour...a man I greatly respect and was a major component of a class at NYU (summer make up class)...on philosophy.

I\'m in the middle of deciding whether to do a PGCEi or PGCE. There are a lot of things to consider and you\'ve got to decide what you want from living in Thailand. As you said, your heart has to be in it if you want to work in the top International schools and you have to really have a sincere passion for teaching your subject and truly enjoy it. \r\n\r\nI want to add a couple of other points though.\r\nFirstly, it\'s important to factor in the location of the school. The vast majority of the 1st and 2nd tier international schools seem to be in and around Bangkok, with only a handful outside of the city. If you\'re looking to teach a non-STEM subject like Geography, then these jobs are very difficult to come by outside of Bangkok and other big cities. So, if you have a family you need to factor in the cost of housing. Whilst prices vary greatly , a 2-3 bedroom house with a small garden in the city costs at least 2-3 times as much compared to the smaller provincial cities in Thailand.\r\n\r\nSecondly, the introduction of online teaching has changed the game somewhat for TEFL teachers and I have some friends who balance making 40k in a private school and making another 40k teaching online, and this is out in the sticks where housing and cost of living is much lower, and you don\'t have to deal with traffic and public transport systems when going home. Sure, these guys are working long days, often 50-60hours per week, but as you said it seems from what I can tell from a few new and relatively young  international school teachers in Bangkok that their commuting time and work load means they are working/travelling for a similar amount of time.\r\n\r\nEither way, it is impossible to live here long term on 40k when you factor in buying a house, kids, and retirement, and you need to either increase your qualifications or find another source of income.',0,'81.92.206.107',1,'2018-04-19 08:25:29','2018-04-19 10:42:45'),(6684,32250,'Cha','chacha.chua@gmail.com','PHL','As I\'ve just finished my 1st AY in TH (EP Thai gov\'t school in the south), I\'ve been thinking of PGCEi or taking the CELTA route.

They get off at 3pm but he stays til 4pm to prep for the next day. \r\n\r\nI\'m turning 34 and I thrive in a challenging and supportive environment so getting on a tier 2-3 intl school would be a good jump for me, while also getting the much needed support from my prospective school for the CELTA/ PGCEi. This is my career shift from advertising, though I faced an a** of an EP Head, I was fine with that (totally pissed her off) and know that problems are good to measure yourself whether you have grit or not for this.\r\n\r\nI think you\'d also have to consider other SEA intl schools or education around the region who are more open to accepting qualified and gritty teachers and not just the face value and passport they carry. For an Asian with a Phl passport and an MA from the UK (in-campus study), I know I need more to prove myself since I don\'t teach Maths/Sciences and know that you deserve more financially.

I teach science in secondary school and it can be tricky to motivate students in a such topic. \r\n\r\nHere\'s the thing: we always learn, as teachers, to make rules and establish clear consequences for students who choose not to follow it. But on the other hand, we have then to plan a reward system for people investing themselves more than expected. Indeed, most of the students are expected the meet the expectations of the teacher regarding org work and behavior. If they don\'t, well we\'ll come up to the consequences. But what about students that want to show a superior investment ? If there\'s no special rewards, they\'ll end up just doing enough work without unrecognized efforts. Quite discouraging for the motivated students.\r\n\r\nThis where I use the tickets. At the beginning of the semester, they learn that they can get a bonus ticket for any work or behavior going above and beyond expectations. (Notice that just meeting the expectations is not enough here). Then, I\'ll explain them that they can use it to buy different items depending the amount of tickets they want to spend (1,3,5 or 10). But here\'s the kicker: we don\'t want to come up with stupid rewards like a new eraser or something like that! Example for 10 tickets I used to buy any book (any topic) they wish. Yes that\'s an investment for me but believe me, the motivation they have then clearly worth it. I saw some very amazing work too.\r\n\r\nEven though we could argue that it still extrinsic motivation, I truly believe that it educates the student for the future life: all works deserve salary. As we all know, when we want something, we have to work for it. Sometimes we can\'t get our dream job straight ahead. But we can work hard on a different opportunity in order to deserve what we want later on. \r\n\r\nWe can\'t expect intrinsic motivation from the student in any subject.

I love a good clothing and style article (and you certainly know your Wimbledon)\r\n\r\nA woman feels like going to a party when she\'s got her favourite party dress and best jewelry on.  A soldier feels like a soldier when he\'s in uniform.  I always felt like a teacher when I had a necktie on with a crisp white shirt.\r\n\r\nI worked at Berlitz Language School for two years in the early 90\'s. Berlitz had a strict dress code from Monday to Friday. All male teachers were required to wear a business shirt and necktie.  However, for Saturday classes - mostly Japanese businessmen in their casual golfing attire - teachers were allowed to \'dress down\'.  For most male teachers - clearly lacking a smart casual wardrobe - that usually meant an open-necked business shirt worn with no tie. \r\n\r\nWhat this resulted in was interesting.  Male teachers would often complain that on Saturdays, they were never in the mood to teach. They found it difficult to get motivated.  There would be a general air of unwillingness and boredom in the staff-room, which almost every teacher put down to them being in \'weekend mode\'.\r\n\r\nI never felt that was the complete story and I used to tell them - \'you don\'t feel like teaching because you don\'t look the part. You\'re dressed casually, almost sloppily some might say.  It\'s not\'s possible to go into a classroom and act like a professional if you don\'t feel like a professional\'\r\n\r\nFrankly, my advice, unsurprisingly, would usually fall on deaf ears but I continued to wear the same business attire as I would wear during the week.

Having the ability to speak your native language is unlikely to be the only skill needed to really “make a difference.”\r\n\r\nMy only personal experience with a person who paid to come and teach in Thailand was a guy who ended up at a mid-level university’s international program being used as a conversation partner for the students, who mostly came from middle class backgrounds and he was not allowed to actually “teach” due to accreditation reasons. He seemed pretty idealistic at first but I think he saw the folly of it all before his six months were up. Oh well, but he made a few trips to Pattaya and as he was a pretty average looking middle aged guy I suspect he didn’t feel all of his time in Thailand was wasted.\r\n\r\nOverall, I don’t think these pay-to-teach teachers have much impact. But they don’t really hurt anyone either. The teachers get some liberal cred with their crowd back home for volunteering in a developing country, the school officials get a little face for having some international contacts and the students get a few hours of a foreigner babbling at them in a language they don’t understand.\r\n\r\nI can’t really blame a company for profiting on the gullibility of these well-intended but pretty naïve individuals.

We didn\'t have to wear a tie, and we could choose if we wanted to wear a polo shirt or a work shirt. I always chose to wear a work shirt because I didn\'t like the look of a polo shirt with trousers and shoes. I felt like a golfer. \r\n\r\nThe next school I worked for we had to wear a work shirt with a tie..........or we could wear a polo shirt representing the colour of the day. I always found this odd because you couldn\'t just wear a work shirt with no tie, but you could just wear a polo shirt. It was usually the younger teachers who wore polo shirts and for me it wasn\'t a great look. I remember one guy wearing a \'Sky TV & Broadband\' polo shirt. Apparently he used to be an engineer for them and that\'s what they wore when doing installations of cable TV. And there was me wearing a nice shirt and tie. \r\n\r\nI\'ve always worn nice attire. It bodes well for you, especially in Thailand. I worked for a guy once who was obsessed with wearing a crisp white shirt with his tie done up to the nines. He would have a go at teachers if their ties weren\'t straight or their belt buckle wasn\'t in the middle. To be honest, he looked like a British prison guard. I remember one teacher saying it wasn\'t practical wearing a tie teaching P1 kids. It\'s too hot and the tie gets in the way. Unfortunately for him, he had to wear a tie because the boss had short man syndrome. \r\n\r\nI now spend at least 1000 baht on a work shirt. I sometimes get other teachers tell me \"What!?

You seem like a clever guy and I\'m certain have explored all your options. I\'d simply change schools as the child might in disrupting your class for years. As for the student matriculating, as stated in another post, the student won\'t be better off repeating.\r\n\r\nThe system, for both similar and different reasons as the US and presumably the rest of the developed world has no time, money or patience to hold students back.\r\n\r\nI like to think of it in other terms. Unfortunately, students with issues due to lack of faculty or maturity do not grasp this. It\'s definitely the way Education is moving these days -\r\n\r\nEach student owns their own learning experience. It\'s up to them to develop themselves, to seek out relevant learning and to this end the teach facilitates this.\r\n\r\nTherefore, students get 12 years of free education to do what they wish with the time they have. I can tell you myself, I wasted a good many of those formative years. That was my short sighted choice. Luckily, with hard work I made up for that lack of performance in university. \r\n\r\nThis student is different, he lacks focus and perhaps capacity. He imo needs specialized assistance. I\'m no advocate of mainstreaming in general, but especially if the student is disruptive. The entire class suffers this child on a daily basis and that is wrong.\r\n\r\nThe child should be removed. \r\n\r\nTo finalize my point, about graduating students up and out - why is it the teachers, administrators, minders, etc role to hold a student back when 90% of them time the kids don\'t come to class, do the work, etc...? Holding a child back other than a wake up call and punishment have not addressed any of the issues that led to behavior that led to the student being held back.\r\n\r\nFinally, returning to Oat. He obviously has serious issues which holding him back will do nothing to resolve. SO...what WILL resolve those issues? Medicine and/or another school that can meet his needs.\r\n\r\nThe students around him are suffering. It sounds like a private school, the director should speak with the parents and find a solution.

When being a Caucasian and NES mattered more than qualifications? You weren’t here for that, or you were still at school in the west yourself? That’s only a decade ago, before the majority of backpackers and alcoholics outlived the credit card boom and went home. The continuing purge of the jetsam and flotsam continues to this day: ‘Good guys in, bad guys out’ - Pol. Lt. Gen. Nathathorn Prousoontorn. \r\n\r\nThose who worked here previously will have met them in every staffroom in Thailand, because it’s from the backpacking ranks that the so-called ‘teachers’ largely came from. Those who couldn’t even put a 40 minute lesson plan together, but held up flashcards and made funny faces. You think I’m joking? It’s not just Thailand either; China and Hong Kong had their own clean up and deported tens of thousands of fakes over the past few years, including those with criminal records and drug users. \r\n\r\nThese aren’t generalizations, it’s not even news anymore. You people didn’t know all this? Arguably, ‘a fun, enthusiastic younger teacher even if clueless’ is where foreigners got the babysitter reputation from and a salary to match.   \r\n \r\nThere is a very definite pattern here and it’s the ones who criticise the most often have the least to say and that occurs right across the blogs and almost invariably from the same people. \r\n\r\nAs a passtime I write articles, amongst others educational ones. I wrote the introduction for my company to help those new to China. I offer a complete free syllabus available to those just starting out, with suggestions on how to prepare an Asian resume. \r\n\r\nBefore criticising, think!

I took none of her crap and explained very curtly how I would be doing things. She backed off and now I\'m one of the few teachers at my school who she says hello to and who she seemingly likes. Guess she witnessed too many shitbird teachers and thought we were all the same. \r\n\r\nI\'ve had three assistants in total and we\'ve all worked perfectly well together. The trick is to use this little known secret called \'common sense\'. Go to work everyday. Show up on time. Do your job, and when it\'s you doing the teaching, make sure your assistant knows that you have control of your class and you know what you\'re doing. Never left him/her undermine you. Learn your trade. Become confident and fair, but let everyone know that you don\'t take any crap. If you are a crap teacher and give zero f****, you will have to bend over til you\'re fired. Also, get along with your assistant on a professional level. I have zero interest in what my assistant does in her free time. I\'m there to focus my time and effort on the kids.

I recently come across some research saying it takes on average 10,000 hours of study and practice to achieve fluency in a language.

I just assume it is because I am a slow learner (stupid in learning languages) but maybe not. \r\n\r\nI am not sure there is anything unique about Thai, looking at material often used in teaching English I suspect many Thai students of English feel the same way. The language that is being taught is often not exactly the language one hears in the coffee shops, offices and street in the US, UK, or Australia. I have seen more than once a student who had been studying English for years when given the opportunity to go abroad for six months they were able to pick up far more useful language than they did in years of study in a classroom (although classroom study is important in lying the foundation).\r\n\r\nMaybe one lesson we can learn from your, mine and other’s experience in the difficulties in learning Thai is to create a little empathy for the students who are struggling to learn English. For the lucky few, picking up a new language is rather easy. For most of us, it is a long, difficult and painful struggle which never seems to pay off to the degree we hope for.

Thanks for the article.\r\n\r\nI used to work six days a week. I did this for about 5 years here in Thailand. I had my regular 8-4 full-time job, I did a few evenings a week with privates and then taught 6-8 hours on a Saturday. I got completely used to it. People back home couldn\'t believe I did this. I had no problem with it. \r\n\r\nNow, I don\'t work at the weekends at all. I work from 8-8 Monday - Thursday. I teach online in the evenings after my full-time job. I have a well paying full-time job. I make excellent money working online, and I\'m earning far more than I ever earned before.  I work hard Monday to Thursday, but come Friday at 4pm, I\'m running out the door of my school ecstatic by the prospect of my weekend. \r\n\r\nOn Friday evening I meet up with my old work friends to play pool and have a few beers. Most of them work Saturdays as extra so they can only have a few. The mood is good. It\'s Friday. Everyone is unwinding and looking forward to the weekend. As they\'re considering having one more, I\'m easy. I don\'t have work tomorrow. I can stay or I can go home. Zero worries. It\'s a sadistically great feeling knowing I can do as I please and they can\'t. \r\n\r\nCome Saturday I naturally wake up about 8. I can\'t sleep anymore so I get up and contemplate the day of whatever ahead. I usually have a nice breakfast with a nice coffee. I then clean my apartment for about 1.5-2 hours (I actually enjoy cleaning my own gaff). There\'s something very therapeutic about seeing how clean your apartment is after you\'ve grafted for a couple of hours. I then go out and buy some wine before 2pm. Have lunch and just enjoy the Saturday vibe. Then off home to listen to music, watch TV, play video games or go to the gym if there aren\'t too many people in there.  Mates message about meeting up for a beer in the evening. I really do wanna go out, but then as I settle back in at home, I just can\'t be bothered. I live in a nice place, but most of my friends don\'t because they choose to spend their money on other things. I wouldn\'t wanna be cooped up in a shoe box room with my missus all day either. I\'d be gagging to get out. \r\n\r\nI work very hard in the week. It makes my weekends so much more satisfying. I\'ve had jobs where the work was easy so I didn\'t feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day or week. I work bloody hard now, so I really love my downtime. I could do nothing all day Saturday and not feel in the slightest bit guilty. I\'ve earned my rest. As you get older, you love your routines more. I don\'t try to fight this as I had my wild experiences when in my 20s and even early 30s. I\'m a much happier person now and actually rather enjoy getting older and caring less about trivial BS.\r\n\r\nI write this reply not to say there is a right or wrong way of doing it.

The only people who would look down upon people of either profession are those sad sacks who lack any self-confidence and are looking for someone to look down upon to make their sorry lives seem more important.  For the vast majority of us, there are people lower on the social ladder and people higher. I don’t know of anyone who approves of being looked down upon by those on a higher rung and therefore it would be hypocritical to look down upon people a half-rung below oneself. \r\n\r\nI understand the attempt to elevate one’s profession in the eyes of others and to try to improve one’s social status, but if we look at the industry from the perspective of the market or of an outsider we might get a more realistic picture. It is great to see ESL teachers take their profession seriously and try to grow, but in reality the market for “professional” ESL teachers is very small. There is no great demand from students (or parents of younger students) for teachers with 120 hour TEFL courses and such. The demand for “qualifications” is mostly industry driven with the intention of making a profit on wannabe teachers and not driven by market forces from customers.\r\n\r\nI came to Thailand 20 years ago, with a new university degree and easily got a job teaching English at a famous three letter language school. After a week of quick training I was thrown into a classroom to teach my native language, I am sure I wasn’t very good, but no students dropped my course and I retained my job while I slowly learned a few tricks of the trade, Within six months I had moved to a well-known university where my hourly pay was five times what it was at the three letter language school. I liked teaching English at that point in my life. But I could see it was not going to take me either professionally or financially where I wanted to go so I worked in improving my skills and qualification and moved into other occupations (but remained in Thailand or other countries in Asia). \r\n\r\nThe TEFL industry was great for me. I was able to begin my expatriate life with enough income to feed myself and my family and I consider that part of my life an important “stepping stone” and also an enjoyable time in my life. But I realize how lucky I was to have been a native English speaker so I could take advantage of the opportunity the industry provided me. For me, the decision to move beyond being an ESL teacher and move into other professions was a good choice. But remaining as an English teacher might be the best option for others with a different set of skills and motivations. \r\n\r\nWhile I generally agree with Jesse that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a basic ESL teacher for any length of time, and if you begin to hate the job you should get out of teaching as soon as possible, I do think it is better for an individual to take a realistic look at the industry and make a decision if teaching English is something you want to do for a temporary period or as an occupation you want to do for a long-term based on how the industry really is and not based on a wished for version of the industry,. \r\n\r\nWhile a little extra training and education never hurt anyone in any profession, the income of ESL teachers do not rise automatically or directly with increased education or qualification (although sometimes they can). If you decide to make a career of ESL teaching, it would probably be a good idea to follow Jessie’s advice and become an “educator,” but that will not automatically result in riches and a high-social status, but instead it is likely to provide mostly intrinsic rewards.',0,'171.101.33.111',1,'2018-07-27 20:45:09','2018-07-28 06:28:37'),(6996,32292,'Sash','bowleralex@hotmail.com','Bangkok','I do quite a bit of extra work other than ABA teaching (Applied Behaviour Analysis) which is my main expertise.

He\'s already done the necessary assessment of the flawed Canadian system. Thailand is not better. Thailand has consequently lost many, many of the best teachers acting self righteous and with indignation.  I have met every type of foreign teacher here and I just met one that was escaping some horrible job in Toronto. He vanished to southern Thailand and now thinks he is making a difference because he\'s \"content\" at his position.  He told me outright he teaches for a stipend and is happy to work on weekends. This man should not be teaching anywhere because he\'s part of the problem. He\'s inefficacious and happy. This is not good for Thai students or the Thai school system that greatly need effective foreign teachers to get a good result on English exams. You\'re also part of the problem Richard. Stand up for yourself and demand proper teaching hours.\r\n\r\nRichard, this is coming from Arden that has taught  in every major Asian nation and four public school systems including Japan, China and Korea. Thailand and its numerous administrators won\'t change because  you should know your worth.  Every foreign teacher should know and do not denigrate your position in Thailand with being weak, passive and ambivalent.  Thai teachers are mostly jealous and envious of the Occidental lifestyle and feel we are here to have a good time and maybe do some teaching along the way. This is insipid nonsense. Foreign teachers are 1000s of miles from home often taken advantage of by extra prices and where the gazump is a way of life. You do not speak for me or the hundreds of teachers I know teaching here and the nations listed above. I disagree and you\'re wrong.  Teachers should not be working on weekends because the Thai system does not deserve it.  Also, if you give an inch in Thai culture  it opens the floodgates. \r\n\r\nForeign teachers please  know your worth. Ask for more salary because you deserve it. Ask for better visa regulations and  a longer working visas because you deserve it.  Do not act happy for you\'re being abused. I know.

The topic of the TEFL industry in relation to education in general is complex. An important distinction between them is that the TEFL industry is an explicitly profit based business while education, in most countries, is free from K-12. The mission of education is in part to serve the greater good of society. This point is crucial when considering whether to be a teacher, and if so, what career path to take.  It is a salient point that more qualifications often do not translate into increased earnings, an obvious example being that persons with doctoral degrees working at the graduate/post-graduate level in Thailand often receive lower salaries than teachers in the TEFL sphere (especially compared with teachers at international high schools). Thus, if a person is seeking higher remuneration, the TEFL/international school pathway may be best; if a person is more intrinsically motivated, then a non-TEFL career path may be suitable. There is no right or wrong choice.  Sash, it is commendable that you will look at a job candidate\'s character first, rather than their qualifications. I strongly agree with that approach.

There are many good studies and books written by experts for a western audience in cross-cultural management about working in Thailand, or there are many others which take more of a country/regional studies approach which summarizes a deep understanding of Thai history, religion and culture to present to westerners in a more concise format. This understanding it is hoped can help a person understand the foundation of the new culture while adjusting and learning. These types of information would in my opinion be much more helpful for a person moving to Thailand than yet another subjective self-published book written by a short-term expat without any specialized training or education on the topic. \r\n\r\nThat is not to say amateur advice and observation is worthless, I sure have picked up a lot of ideas and useful information from chatting with and listening to non-experts, but when presented with the option of following medical advice from a friend who has had the same illness or a trained doctor, I would go with the doctor every time.\r\n\r\nI know the time and effort it takes to write a book, and I understand the desire to promote the work once it is finished, but from the short piece presented which seemed to rely mostly on stereotypes without any backing evidence that what is presented is the way things really are in Farang-Thai interactions, I think I will pass on buying the book. \r\nIf others find information gathered and presented using this approach works for them, then go ahead and purchase a copy.',0,'171.101.33.56',1,'2018-08-02 19:08:26','2018-08-02 20:12:44'),(7025,32292,'Jack','Up@butt.com','Here and there','I find much of the discussion about what makes a good teacher or what is needed to do the job well mostly ignores the student’s perspective.\r\n\r\nI suspect most teachers have spent a little time in the classroom attempting to learn a foreign language, but often we fail to reflect or utilize our experiences.\r\n\r\nWhile there are many types of “English teacher” and exam prep and preparation for passing specific tests might require specialized skills and knowledge, there are no magical way to actually “learn” a foreign language. Obviously some techniques work for some learning styles while others work better, but no foreign language teacher is going to have any special insight into the language which is both useful and unknown to most native speakers.\r\n\r\nI have seen research suggesting it takes about 10,000 hours of study and practice to become fluent in a language (including our native one). Another study suggest it generally takes about 7 years of intense study to become fluent in a second language.\r\n\r\nLooking at my own experience in learning foreign languages, I see most of the advice given to new teacher on this site conflicts with my own experiences. Although my studies have occurred as an adult which might be different from the perspective of younger students.\r\n\r\nI can’t say there is any one style of teacher I prefer, of course there is nothing wrong with having some fun in the classroom, but generally I like a teacher who can provide structure, explanations, useful examples and some gentle corrections of my errors.\r\n\r\nBut there are two types of teacher I have had which deter my learning.\r\n\r\nThe first is the babbler. Once you get to the upper immediate of advanced levels schools tend ban the use of English in the class and students are expected to only speak in the language beginning learned. Fair enough, but there are times when 10 minutes of explanation, examples and confusion could be avoided by a 10 second translation. But also some teachers babble on just like they were speaking to another native speaker. Hey, if I knew every word in the language I was learning I wouldn’t need to be taking a class. Slow down and choice your vocabulary carefully. \r\n\r\nThe second is the type of language teacher who abuses their position as head of the classroom to expound on their own personal philosophical, religious, cultural or political views. I consider myself a highly educated person with a wide range of knowledge, generally far more than my language teachers. I really don’t want to spend my time listening to half-baked ideas, stereotypes and misinformation, I am there to learn the language. If I want to understand philosophy, I will take a class taught by someone who is an expert in the subject. \r\n\r\nI prefer a language teacher who creates structure and provides guidance in learning the language, mixes explanation in both the native and target language and sticks to the topic they know.\r\n\r\nBut maybe I am a usual type of student.  So I don’t necessarily follow the idea of speaking only English in the English learning classroom or as a language teacher try to impose one’s own specific values and world view upon the students. A love of languages and a desire for life-long learning, ok, but don’t abuse one’s position as a teacher to advocate one’s own specific values.',0,'171.101.33.3',1,'2018-08-03 09:58:04','2018-08-03 10:57:18'),(7026,32308,'Steve','stephen.saad@yahoo.com','Thailand','Thanks Jack for your comments. \r\n\r\nThe book contains interviews with 13 expats in Thailand (one of whom is Phil - the owner of this site and in Thailand for 27 years); when added to the two co-authors, there is a total of 150 years of experience of living in Thailand behind the opinions and suggestions in the book. \r\n\r\nQuite frankly if someone wants / needs to study a social science analysis of Thai culture, in order to decide to move to Thailand or get an insight into what life is like here, as opposed to hearing it from people who actually live here, speak the language fluently, have Thai spouses, run businesses or work here long-term, then, yes, the book is not suitable for them. \r\n\r\nFor the rest, it is one of the most broad, balanced and insightful books written on expat life in Thailand.',0,'171.97.237.252',1,'2018-08-03 13:08:12','2018-08-03 15:05:29'),(7027,32308,'Phil','philip@ajarn.com','Samut Prakarn','\"The book contains interviews with 13 expats in Thailand (one of whom is Phil - the owner of this site and in Thailand for 27 years); when added to the two co-authors, there is a total of 150 years of experience of living in Thailand behind the opinions and suggestions in the book\"\r\n\r\nI don\'t think that is going to convince Jack somehow.

I\'ve also lived in Japan and I loved it there. It\'s an awesome place but all the wonderful things you see there come at a heavy price. \r\n\r\nThe best bit of advice I got was \'don\'t take yourself too seriously\". I think this is good advice living anywhere but especially in Thailand. I\'m a libertarian so Thailand can be a fantastic place for me. Bar the yearly trip to immigration to renew my work permit, nobody bothers me. No one tries to force me into doing anything. I\'m an outsider and I couldn\'t be happier about that.

I say embrace it because you don\'t have to worry about the social pressures. \r\n\r\nMy wife is Japanese so I feel a little bit out of the loop. My friends talk about their girlfriends and wives and a lot of it is lost on me. I live here because my wife was sent here to work. She\'s been sent here permanently and she loves it here. I won\'t go into the pressures and stress of Japanese culture but she enjoys working for an American company and being away from all that. She loves being an outsider, too, although many people assume she\'s Thai, which is good for paying local prices. \r\n\r\nThailand is a great fit for me and my wife. I\'m learning Thai at a reasonable rate and I don\'t overthink the whole culture thing. If you go around being a nice person and being polite, you\'re very unlikely to have any problems here. I don\'t know why anyone would feel the need to read in-depth information about Thai history, culture and religion. What happens when you understand it all? How does it change anything? By all means gain knowledge wherever but knowing it and preaching it to other foreigners won\'t make you any friends. We\'re all \'farangs\' at the end of the day.

AUD, SEK etc are worth less against the baht.\r\n\r\nThis situation isn\'t irreversible but it\'s going to take more than a few impecunious pensioners leaving for destinations with cheaper living standards to prompt the Thai central bank to emulate its Western counterparts by debasing the baht. \r\n\r\nMy advice would be to hope and pray that the next economic catastrophe strikes in Asia before it erupts in the West; then convert as much as you can while the baht is depressed.

Just some counterpoint:\r\n\r\n\"It’s great that Thai students are taught about their country and have a patriotic view.\"\r\n\r\nAre they taught the reality or a fairy tale?  Why is it necessarily good that they are patriotic (certainly in the blind way many students demonstrate)?  Can you really dissent in this culture without serious repercussions?  Would you say the same to a USA stereotypical type who loved his or her country the same way and to the same level (I would bet you would deride that person)?\r\n\r\n\"Thankfully all Thai people know their anthem and are proud to sing it.\"\r\n\r\nIf the British anthem was 8 whole lines and was heard two times a day, every day, so might British people.  So what?  And why should we be thankful for someone remembering what is essentially a mission statement?\r\n\r\n\"I wish we had been taught more in the UK about our royal family.\"\r\n\r\nYou can educate yourself quite easily on that, and what you learn might even come from differing points of view!\r\n\r\n\"I would love to learn more from Thai teachers about how to control classes that size.\"\r\n\r\nBeat them/have the power to get them beaten, or insist on their parents pay for their extra classes with you, and you can do this too!  Why should anyone have a class that size anyway?  Do you think this size best serves the individual students, especially the less able ones?\r\n\r\n\"Whilst I couldn’t find any official statistics about suspensions and expulsions in Thai schools...\"\r\n\r\nShock.  Thai culture doesn\'t like to expose such things, unless such information is being used in order to blame it on \"another team\".\r\n\r\n\"...they only knew of a handful of cases from their institutes. This could show that students are well disciplined or teachers are empathetic towards student’s issues. \"\r\n\r\nOr that they didn\'t understand the question, or your accent, or that they were in a top class of goody-goody types and didn\'t have this happen in those classes, or that no one really cares about discipline to the point of suspension etc. as long as the money is rolling in by whatever avenue, or possibly some students should have been suspended or removed but weren\'t and to the detriment of the class as a whole, or etc.\r\n\r\n\"The schools know they can rely on students to help with events, planning and project work. These are all great skills the students can use later in their lives.\"\r\n\r\nHaving experienced many of these events, I can say (a) it is rarely \"voluntary\", especially in large numbers/whole school activities, and (b) 90% of the students do almost or literally nothing for the duration and would rather be anywhere else.\r\n\r\n\"Foreign teachers are also made to feel welcomed...\"\r\n\r\nAlways? (Before anyone makes the obvious wisecrack in response, no, I am not referring to myself).\r\n\r\n \"Thai students are great at giving out facts and information which they have learned in class.\"\r\n\r\nMassive generalization.  Some are.  Many aren\'t.  And possibly the \"facts\" are not \"facts\", so what is the value?  A party trick?\r\n\r\n\"Thai teachers obviously face hardships and lower than average pay but you don’t hear them threatening to walk out of the classroom.\"\r\n\r\nThey can get paid very (sometimes even very very) well, especially considering the average salary of the country (in fact, I would feel they get a higher salary than UK teachers, if you compare them based on average salary in those countries, the cost of living, and the levels of effort and expertise- at least after a few years of teaching).  They also get many benefits foreign teachers cannot get.  Many of them have extra classes and make a lot of extra money from doing so (by fair means or foul).  And yes, you do hear of them threatening to walk out- it has been in the news a lot recently, because of loans they took out but can\'t pay back, and this has been a regular news feature since I have been in Thailand.\r\n\r\n\"In fact most foreign teachers in Thailand are paid more than local Thai teachers despise being less qualified.\"\r\n\r\nDepends what you mean by \"qualified\" and how it stacks up against western qualified teachers (no, I personally don\'t believe you can compare them in terms of rigor, even if they spend more time that training than western qualified teachers do).  And no, they are not necessarily paid more, certainly not as an overall package; even if they are (which they aren\'t), westerners don\'t tell Thai schools what they should pay them; it is what is offered by the Thai schools (an amount which has only changed ion the last 20 years by decreasing, by the way).\r\n\r\n\"You will also see the great deal of respect Thai teachers get from their students, they must be doing something right!\"\r\n\r\nIt\'s a culture based on respect, whether earned or not.  Corrupt people get paid lots of respect (including Thai teachers I have met).\r\n\r\n\"A lot of my Thai friends say their high school years were the best of their lives!\"\r\n\r\nIf you didn\'t necessarily have to do a lot of work over an extended period, you would think that too.  Also, don\'t many westerners say the same? \r\n\r\n\"The key point is that most of the complaints about the Thai education system come from foreign teachers working in these schools. \"\r\n\r\nThai culture frowns on criticism, for obvious and historical reasons.  Western culture doesn\'t do this as much, though it used to in the past.  Anyway, what is so bad about complaining?  It might be annoying but it can also improve things.\r\n\r\n\"Foreign teachers complain about the lack of air-conditioning and computers in every room or that students have to be tested too much. For a lot of Thai students this isn’t really an issue. \"\r\n\r\nSo why do richer Thai families send their kids to schools that do have AC and computers?  Why do these better-equipped schools usually pump out more able students?  Why do some countries in the area which highly value education have such things as standard (such as Singapore)?  And why do many students I have met over the years express quite a lot of stress over these tests?  Granted, these tended to be the most able students; the less able ones didn\'t have to try as hard...\r\n\r\n\"They have an education system which deserves far more respect from those who knock it. \"\r\n\r\nRespect is earned, not deserved, and nothing you have written has demonstrated that respect for Thai education has been earned, as it is easily disproven.  I will say that NOT ALL THAI SCHOOLS SUCK; of course not, and there are some schools which are probably better than many in the West (usually the ones in the West in slummier parts).  A handful of Thai schools are even very respectable.  \r\n\r\nHowever, your article is amazingly naive.  Either you haven\'t been here long, you don\'t notice what most of your students actually do or say, you work in one of the more elite schools, or you just defend Thailand against any criticism, even if it is (actually) deserved (don\'t worry, I am sure they will be some of the usual suspects coming along soon to tear me a new one, even though they won\'t give a single convincing reason for why I am wrong).',0,'110.170.39.2',1,'2018-08-21 10:33:42','2018-08-21 11:22:41'),(7117,32320,'Liam','cosgrove_liam@yahoo.co.uk','Bangkok','I\'d use some of that money to combat the corruption within the system.

I\'ll reply to a few of your main points. \r\n\r\nI\'ve been here for 5 years, worked at a Thai high school, two language schools and as a private business English tutor. Plenty of experience with students from all levels of society for all cities etc. \r\n\r\nI could write a list of bad things about Thai schools to make them look terrible but I thought I would look at the positives as not many people do that. I could also make a list of ten things that are terrible in every education system in Europe / US etc (or the international schools in Thailand)  but that wouldn\'t be as popular as putting the knee into the Thai system. \r\n\r\nPatriotism: \r\n\r\nI think it is a good thing. Most of my American friends are from places like Oklahoma and all are patriots and I think that is great so well done to Thai people for loving their country. I\'m proud of my country and I would love to hear our anthem more often than just at sporting events. These days we need things which bring people together and not split people. I get the impression that some people move to Thailand and instantly hate their own country and feel that being patriotic is wrong, in my opinion there\'s no issue with loving your country.\r\n\r\nClass size / discipline: \r\n\r\nObviously we know that 50 kids in a class isn\'t great but it can\'t be helped here due to budgets and facilities. So many foreign teachers just moan about this rather than finding ways to make it work. We can learn from Thai teachers in this respect.   I\'ve never seen them use force (although  have read about it). Obviously you can\'t condone force but I\'m sure many Thai teachers control their students without hitting them.  \r\n\r\nMost of my Thai friends speak fluent English or have lived abroad so no problems with them understanding me. They also talk about negatives here in Thailand so have no reason to lie to me about this. Obviously their experience at high school wasn\'t perfect but looking at the the American high school system I\'d rather learn here in Thailand, at least there isn\'t a chance of getting shot here. \r\n\r\nThai teacher salaries and qualifications: \r\n\r\nStarting salaries are low and getting to the top takes a lot of time, luck and is often more about who you know than what you know. You\'re right that some teachers do tutoring on the side but if you have to give up your free time to do this then it shouldn\'t be equated to salary as UK teachers could do the same on a Saturday or Sunday or after work and make even more.Sure some Thai teachers can make a lot but so can some in the UK - I\'m looking at starting - mid level teachers really. I only heard of teachers threatening to stop paying back their loans, not to walk out of classes but maybe I missed that... \r\n\r\nThai teachers have official teaching qualifications. A lot of foreigners teaching in Thai high schools may have a four week TEFL course, a lot wont even have that. I\'m sure some foreigners are qualified to teach in their own country. \r\n\r\nFacilities: \r\n\r\nOf course everyone would love AC and computers in every classroom. The problem is many schools can\'t afford to do this in every room.  Rich parents send children to international schools because they have the money and the schools have great facilities. How many people here could afford 200,000 baht a year or more to send their kids to international school? I certainly couldn\'t do this.  You can\'t compare the two, it\'s not fair. In the my village in UK we had a government school and a very famous private boarding school. Their facilities were so much better than ours but we made the best of what we had, same here in Thailand. \r\n\r\nStudents: \r\n\r\nI\'ve met a lot of smart, intelligent kids who live in the real world as they\'ve been in the Thai system. If someone has the creativity and imagination they will have this regardless of their schooling.\r\n\r\nI\'ve met a few people who studied at international schools and I\'ve not really noticed much of a difference. Some work well with others and some don\'t. Some don\'t bother to learn as they\'ll be working for the family business in Thailand anyway. \r\n\r\nIn general I think a lot comes down to parenting but that\'s another issue... \r\n\r\nRespect: \r\n\r\nSure respect should be earned. Problem is I get the feeling a lot of foreigners don\'t give the Thai system a chance. In the end a lot of Thai people will work in Thailand for Thai companies. They\'ll speak Thai and have a Thai family and will travel locally. If they can\'t tell you the capital of Peru or know who was the first president of the USA does that matter? \r\n\r\nThai schools teach their students English, Chinese and Japanese/Korean. They are taught about the AEC which will likely be their future. I think we have to stop taking the view that the EU / USA is the centre of the world and the standard to judge people on and respect that the Thai system is doing well for Thai people\'s needs.',0,'171.96.124.172',1,'2018-08-21 13:27:26','2018-08-21 16:51:31'),(7120,32142,'Pam','cutie.gemologist@gmail.com','Bangkok','Apologies for any mistake I might make later on, say, I am not an educator here.

Most agencies are reluctant to provide visas and work permits simply because of the cost and the hassle involved and most are reluctant to go through that. Added to that most do not have degrees and so they are happy to ride on the tourist visa until it runs out. Thinking about their next weekend, the next full moon party it seems these young guys have no interest in anything else. After working with these guys for a few months, most of them were lazy, just in it for the ride, had nothing to offer, would not do the exams, and would do no preparation for the classroom. One wonders Richard after your **whopping 3 months experience** in Thailand what makes you think you have the right to criticize other people who have chosen to make this place their home. \r\n\r\nAlso new so called newbies (not teachers) let’s be honest they have no right to call themselves teachers without a day of experience in the classroom, will not get 400K, they will get 30K or less. This is the agencies dream come true, young good looking teachers willing to work for bottom dollar. What could they want more? So you have experienced teachers with 10 years’ experience and if they have the misfortune not to have moved on through these schools are stuck to work with these airheads with no work experience. Most of them are nice guys but that does not mean the TEFL industry should be screwed up by a few guys with no interest or passion for their jobs other than providing agencies with low paid and low motivated newbies with no direction other than their next party. \r\n\r\nNice take on that – will be provided with a  9 month or 10 month contract so they have lots of time to party. Let’s hope so. Because your 30K salary will only take you so far. 30K a month = a 1000 a day if you do not have an apartment back in Bangkok and want to haul all your shit around with you, you could have 24K or less to “play with”. That includes beers, smokes, travel, and accommodation. I hope that you are good at it, because 30K spread over 9 months will leave you gasping for air.

The sooner a learner of any language, not just Thai (but probably more so for Thai because it is a tonal language), lets go of their own language, the sooner they can hear what they should be hearing and repeat accurately. The key is to get out of English mode, otherwise he will always just get to the closest approximation of what he thought he heard and that does not work in Thai because you are not just slightly mispronouncing (as you would be if it were English) but you are either saying nothing at all or a completely different word. And that is why Thai people look totally confused when foreigners speak Thai, thinking they have got pretty close to what they should be saying. \r\n\r\nHaving said all that, yes, I agree, it is important to have a go rather than just retract and hide away from awkward situations when learning Thai. \r\n\r\nAs for AUA, I am entirely self-taught and prefer that approach to being taught but I do know people who have learnt from proper Thai courses such as from Chulalongkorn University and, apparently, it is very good. But, like with my comments on tuition, don\'t do it if you are not fully committed mentally. Being taught will teach you the language much more thoroughly, like learning French or German at school but it will be more formal than learning Thai from books and practicing with Thai people. But the two are not mutually exclusive so you could do both if you are keen. \r\n\r\nThe good news is once things start to click, you can quite quick progress with Thai, especially because words are often short (one to two syllables) so you can pick up words quite easily).',0,'171.96.122.173',1,'2018-09-03 21:00:58','2018-09-04 06:30:39'),(7197,32322,'soleddy','pev100@live.com','Bangkok','I have taught at Uni and in government for the past 16 years.

So, i am able to make broad comparisons.\r\n\r\nI can add little to JBKK, and I am 99% in agreement.\r\n\r\nRather than pick on certain points, I would say that the range of problems relate to educational culture and to the superficiality and corruption which may be expressed in different ways but is inherent in this society. I have had frequent conversations around this topic but I had the same chat 10 years ago. Nothing has changed, and the salaries have eroded compared to the cost of living. Every six months, we hear of some new initiative pending (e.g. bring in 1000 foreign trainers and monitor the teachers), but nothing has changed in my 16 years here. The net result is that some schools and unis are finding it hard to appoint teachers who have all of the qualities desired, because we can earn just as much by clowning on Skype or just moving to Vietnam.\r\n\r\nEven with enforcement (itself a dirty word), the system will take 50 years to change.

Possibly this is more important in a more collective culture such a Thailand.  However, these sports and activities often take the place of education, being done during scheduled classes.  Additionally, though I am sure it will have defenders, I cannot help but think that one must be crazy if cheering practice etc can be considered a worthwhile activity, at least considering how long it goes on for, and how generally unimpressive the end results are.  \r\n\r\nFinally, no, being bad at a language doesn\'t mean you are (necessarily) thick.  However, these students often spend a lot (A LOT) of time studying English.  I appreciate their teachers might well be subpar, but it is difficult to imagine how you can spend that much time on something and produce so little (see cheering etc above).  Not to blow my own horn (ahem), but I spent much less time studying French at high school than Thai students seem to spend on English, with fewer resources and a non-native speaking teacher, and would be surprised if I hadn\'t finished with more competence in the respective language than they had (with me certainly not being a gifted student).  \r\n\r\nThough I admit my French skills are quite rusty now, I often meet PhDs and university lecturers who cannot string a sentence together (and who often have written multiple papers/\"lecture\" in English);  I feel like asking them what exactly they were doing in the English language classrooms they apparently spent so much time in?

I know some native speakers who cannot spell simple words correctly and write sentences in wrong grammar.\" 55555555555555555555555 ( lol)\r\n\r\n  Hello and  Dear Liz,\r\n\r\n         I\'ve copied and pasted an example of the ignorance that really made me laugh.  I\'m in my 14th year of teaching English,  I held various seminars for Thai English teachers on how to teach English most efficiently, and currently teach high school students English, also considered an NNES. \r\n\r\n\r\n IMHO, the article is great and the author didn\'t criticise the Filipinos in general, he/she only mentioned them, which should be allowed. There are way too many of them, a lot of them are in no way qualified to teach English, while many of them find it hard to have a conversation with an NES, no matter from where the native English speaker comes from. \r\n\r\nLiza\'s English must be perfect, thus she knows NES teachers who can\'t spell simple words, nor do they know their grammar?  Liza, I\'ve worked with countless Filipinos and I\'ve only met a few people who were fluent in English, not talking about their grammar and sentence structure now!\r\n\r\nI\'ve worked with Filipinos who had less than 600 points in their TOEIC examination but they were quite frankly so selfish and arrogant that they didn\'t seem to have a problem to Photoshop some of my documents and sent it to Khurusapha to be able to continue teaching.  \r\n\r\nLiza, if you\'d like to learn German, would you prefer an NES of German or Thai teachers who\'d been in Germany for two years?  Your statement is so incorrect and making all NES teachers to idiots doesn\'t make much sense.\r\n\r\nIt only shows how insecure you feel when somebody writes facts about teachers from your country,  and in this case, not even negative ones. \r\n\r\nTo get back on topic, it\'s not that important what passport the teacher\'s holding. Important is the teacher\'s education, his/her pronunciation, psychological skills, experience and of course a good understanding of teaching techniques. A great knowledge of the technology being used in education and how to use certain websites successfully to be a better teacher.  I\'ve never stopped learning, there\'s always a new technique, ways on how to control the students, or the courses I attend, just for fun. \r\n\r\nI\'ve led some primary, but also secondary students to winners of national competitions, but I wouldn\'t dare to use my name as the big winner.  I\'ve seen speeches written by Filipinos where I wanted to cry. \"My school have many tree, my school have many book, my school have........stop!\r\n\r\nLearning never ends, so when I read that a teacher\'s perfect, I already know how bad this teacher really is. Nobody is perfect, please consider Einstein\'s words as my philosophy: \"I know that I know nothing.\"\r\n\r\nI\'ve \"upgraded\" my BA in Social Pedagogy with a Diploma in Teacher education, to be able to receive the full license and have had the luck to see assignments of \"classmates who accidentally posted them into the open forum.\" Many of them were just copied and pasted, nothing made any sense, but these people are also holding their license by now. Scary, if you ask me. \r\n\r\nAnother fact might be very important and not yet mentioned here. I\'d personally prefer to have my kids educated by an experienced NES teacher with experience rather than from somebody who found the opportunity to start teaching in Thailand, but it\'s not really in their interest to create good English speaking students, it\'s more about the amount of money that they can send back home. \r\n\r\nThat\'s in my eyes obviously changing all. BTW, I love what I\'m doing and it\'s wonderful when I meet adults who were my students many years ago, but still thank me for their education in English.\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, do many teachers not know the difference e between the child-centered approach and the teacher-centered one.  I\'ve got colleagues who are hard to understand even by teachers from America. \r\n\r\nIMO, there\'s no teacher without an accent and that\'s good so. Times are changing and in a world where the NES teachers are already outnumbered by 4:1, it\'s important that the student can easily understand the teacher and learns all four skills in an environment that learning is fun. \r\n\r\nKind regards from lower northeast.',0,'118.172.189.70',1,'2018-09-16 13:09:42','2018-09-17 22:23:53'),(7253,32096,'Burton Schrader','burtonschrader@gmail.com','Near Korat','My new passport is ready for collection.

I am also a believe in “market” force.. by that I mean I think the salary should be dependent on what the market will bear.\r\n\r\nThe market determines what skills it wants... from there an applicant pool forms of possible candidates who meet said skill set.. if the market demand outstrips the applicant pool - then salaries .. and the converse is true as well.\r\n\r\nSo.. coming back to Thailand and teaching... I suspect it’s a somewhat simple application of this balance.. \r\n\r\nI’d guess that the market is placing a premium on those who are native speakers (Note: why the market places a premium on native speakers is a separate issue) and IMHO, the pool of qualified applicants (those who actually ARE native speakers and hold the necessary teaching skills and permits) is smaller than the demand.. so the salary rises.\r\n\r\nConversely, the market demand for non-natives is also set... but IMHO, the supply here outpaces the market demand.. so there’s no upward pressure to raise salaries.\r\n\r\nAt the end of the day I see this as: a) more non-native applicants than there are openings and b) what the market is demanding in terms of skills and applicant profile..  \r\n\r\nI don’t think this a subject of who is and is not a better teacher per se... rather it is IMHO, more a mathematical and economic balancing act between what the market (schools in this case, and by extension parents) demands and the supply available to satisfy it.\r\n\r\nWhen I first started my opening salary offer was not what I wanted, but I knew that given my data points (native speaker, licensed, etc) I knew had the balance of economic supply-v-demand paradigm in my favor; so I pushed for more and got it.

The smart lazy guy.  Work and do risky investments and not get the money back by doing a Masters for 4 years when you are not sure that teaching kids is where you will be.  This could be because of the political situation, some random woman that has got you hanging around, a kid, so many factors outside of your control that make further investing just not worth it.    Getting real serious means time / $ and not everyone has that on their side.  Imagine someone going back doing an 8 year course PT while they work back home and then having 10-15 years left before retirement.   \r\n2.  If you are in a position to get serious in your home country then you might as well not come back because you were already after the money.\r\nDo the time and pay off your new piece of paper.  Thailand is one of many places to go to too.  You won\'t get to talk to the complainers who were successful because they left and found a better place.  As a result, you are talking about those who didn\'t leave and have cast as coasters.  I am sure there were many more complainers who A) didn\'t come to you in Thailand  to hear the complaints B) Left the country and are more successful than you or C) had other reasons that weren\'t easily put into words.\r\n\r\nI did enjoy the rant though,  we are all bonded together by teaching in Thailand and the whole time I was there doing it, I never visited this site.

(might be wrong but 10k baht is not a game changer) I am also not sure only making a quarter of my salary  I do here at home will ever be justified, that is ambition without borders.  \r\n\r\nIn Australia, I make 4 times what I did in Thailand even while I work 3 days a week.

The school can suck sanity out of you while you were already taking a huge drop in salary.  Investing more money into that totally depends on what you hope to get in returns.

Thanks for that.  I agree with you, but also know that some of your obvious solutions will sadly not happen. \r\n\r\nAt private schools money talks.  Bigger classes is more money. To reduce the class sizes the fees will go up to international school standards I\'m afraid. \r\nSchools also don\'t need to hire teachers with a teaching degree.  I was amazed to see so many colleagues with no teaching background what so ever. Some of them are really good by the way.  \r\nOn the other hand I see teachers with a bachelor in education or higher with no teaching skills.\r\n\r\nIn government schools you have, on paper,  qualified teachers but in many cases they don\'t have the motivation to make a difference.  Many didn\'t choose education because they love it. \r\n\r\nI agree that many lessons that I have seen are grammar based (Thai and Filipino). Not saying it is wrong,  but it is not my way.  \r\nOn the other hand there are a lot of teachers that come through agencies and are not staying longer than a year (sometimes two).  That way you can\'t build consistency. Yes, if management is amazing it is probably possible. But in general new teachers have to find things that work and don\'t work by themselves again.  \r\n\r\nTo keep teachers longer will be hard.  The demand of good teachers is high and many native English teachers will go to international schools. Even good non-native speakers go to international schools.  \r\n\r\nWhat is left are many teachers, but nowhere near enough to fill schools with middle class children. \r\n\r\nAlso the communication to parents is something I obviously agree on.  I work at a school where 95 % of the parents speak at least basic English and are all on LINE.  Also they are open to talk to you after school. \r\n\r\nIn my previous school half of the parents could speak English but many of the kids lived with grandparents.  They didn\'t speak English and were not that engaged.  It was more difficult to reach these (grand) parents. \r\n\r\nIn my opinion the biggest step forwards that Thai education could make is improving the teachers.  I know that the government spends a lot of money to improve teachers. At the moment this money goes to trips around the country with no benefit to the schools what so ever.  Also colleges get a lot of money for buying equipment, but most of that money goes in people\'s pockets I\'m afraid. \r\n\r\nI hope the government could change this somehow.  Also monitoring schools is based on documentation rather than (classroom) observations.  I think there is enough room for improvement here.  Whiles not seeing the whole picture I think this is the first thing to change. \r\n\r\nKnowing that my English isn\'t perfect (non-native English speaker here) I hope that my reply will be commented on content rather than its grammar and spelling.',0,'223.24.149.55',1,'2018-11-10 21:53:54','2018-11-11 09:26:24'),(7488,32346,'Jack','Up@butt.com','Taking the day off at home','I have noticed over the past five to ten years a shift from the “semi-formal” attire to mostly the business casual look for male professionals here in Thailand, with the full suit and tie look reserved for top executives and the occasional formal occasion. It seems like we have been following the US West Coast trends.\r\n\r\nI prefer this trend myself, as I think it is much easier to look smart wearing business casual clothing (slacks, professional shined shoes and either a button-down short- sleeve or Polo-style shirt) than the old-fashioned semi-formal look of a long-sleeved shirt with a tie. It is also more comfortable. Take a walk down the business district of Bangkok during working hours and see how many men are wearing long sleeved shirts and ties. No many, although it was the look of 10 to 20 years ago.\r\n\r\nI personally prefer the business casual look, it looks more confident, but still professional enough to set one apart from the common tourist. \r\n\r\nPersonal opinion, while a man can look very professional and smart wearing a full suit and tie it needs to be worn in the right situation, the semi-formal old fashioned long sleeve often white shirt with a tie without a jacket looks pretty dorky on most men, although some can pull it off with style. \r\n\r\nI am not sure what is necessarily expected at government schools, but I suspect most language schools and other places operating outside official government regulations are comfortable with male teachers wearing clothes of a business casual style, which in my view is both more comfortable and looks smarter.\r\n\r\nBut of course, this is just opinion, there does seem to be some national differences with some of the English (British) teachers generally preferring the old-fashioned semi-formal look while many American teachers preferring a less formal look, with Canadian, Aussie, Kiwi and other foreign teachers being split on these opinions. \r\n\r\nJust an observation.',0,'171.101.33.65',1,'2018-11-11 11:40:56','2018-11-11 16:57:48'),(7489,32350,'Josh','republicjjc@gmail.com','..in between the lines','LOL!...as if...\r\n\r\n\"The benefits that emerge from appreciating a student\'s work, effort, imagination, ideas or contribution are the basis of Tojo Thatchenkary and Carol Metzker\'s theory of \'appreciative intelligence\' which they define as the capacity to see emerging potential\"...\r\n\r\n..even apply in Thailand.',0,'122.19.179.159',1,'2018-11-13 09:33:22','2018-11-13 09:37:05'),(7490,32096,'Alex','alx@pm.me','Chiang Mai','Awesome info, thanks so much for writing this up.\r\n\r\nCan confirm as of 13th Nov 2018, that this information is correct and up to date.

Possibly, because there is enjoyment and participation so that learners forget their fear of speaking a foreign language, but also for reasons mentioned above.\r\n\r\nYou can inspire students into a new and positive view of the subject/language and can influence their beliefs in general (a matter that all teachers anywhere need to be aware of, or else it happens unconsciously in all teaching).  Also true that students can teach something to a teacher and this should be a joyful catalyst to self growth and awareness.\r\n\r\nI recall a film called \'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie\' (actor Glenda Jackson) - where the teacher was cautioned about introducing her \'girls\' to topics not always approved of by tradition.

Moving half-way around the world is a big deal, and having a \"bird in the hand\" might not be all bad. Knowing there is a paycheck on the other end, especially if one has children or other financial obligations can create some piece of mind. Although if one is young and fancy free with a healthy bank account or support from Mom and Dad, it might be a different story.\r\n\r\nOk, what if you first job is not all you expect? You move on, its not that big of a deal, I suspect there are very few long-time teachers in Thailand who are still working for the first place where they started.\r\n\r\nObviously benefits from and conditions of jobs differ, but the idea the vast majority of schools in Thailand plan to make your life as hellish as possible upon arrival doesn\'t pass the common sense test. \r\n\r\nSchools have budgets and due to the nature of the industry most schools realize turnover among foreign English teachers will be high, but nevertheless most schools which bother to hire Foreign teachers do try to keep the good ones.\r\n\r\nMost of the problems teachers have are due to there being a mismatch being between expectations. Some of the posts found on here basically saying white English teacher good, Asian school administrators bad are not helpful.\r\n\r\nNot everyone is cut out for living in a such a culturally distant foreign country, nor is everyone suited to teaching English long-term.\r\n\r\nWhen I first came I did not have a job lined up, but did have a few contacts and interviews lined up which gave me the confidence to make the move. My first job? It was great, the pay was low, most of the work was on the weekends and the facilities left a lot to be desired. But they did provide some basic training and gave me an opportunity to stand in from of a classroom, often making a fool out of myself, but also maybe learning a little. I stayed six month and moved on to a position with better pay and more prestige.\r\n\r\nBut the first job was perfect for that time when I was in transition in careers and locations.\r\n\r\nSince that time, I have worked in many other countries in a variety of temporary positions, and each time I had an employment contract signed before going abroad.\r\n\r\nSo while the first \"mistake\" might apply to the people in the same category the writer probably was in when starting, it might not be good advice for everyone.',0,'171.101.33.35',1,'2018-11-20 18:07:51','2018-11-20 18:37:47'),(7504,32354,'PHILIP','philip@ajarn.com','Samut Prakarn','LOL That brought back memories, Richard. \r\nThe first couple of years in Thailand, I worked for Berlitz Language School on Sukhumwit and there were about a dozen foreign teachers (a mix of full-timers and part-timers) When the school told us that they intended to open on Christmas Day, we all put our foot down and said no!

The very first year I worked here I was working for a language center and I had 10 days personal leave a year. The first year I used my leave to go home in the summer. The next eight years I\'ve gone home every Christmas. \r\n\r\nChristmas really is the best time for me to go home. Nearly all of my friends and family will have some time off. Most of my friends who moved away will come back to our home town for a day or two and we all meet up. Seeing my friends and family once a year is something that is very important for me.  I ran to Thailand because I like it here more. I didn\'t run away from my home country because I didn\'t like it. There\'s a big difference. \r\n\r\nI\'m not religious. Going home at Christmas is just something that is very convenient for me. I get to see my mom which is the most important thing. It makes her very happy and my parents are getting older. I\'m not sacrificing seeing most of family and friends once a year for a basic salary of 53k. I only had a problem with one school when I took Christmas leave. They didn\'t like it so we both agreed I\'d leave at the end of term. I found another job within a week.\r\n\r\nDecember in most schools really is an odd month. So many lessons are cancelled and the kids are all practicing for sports day, practicing for the Christmas play or a dancing and singing show. My old school were happy for me to take an extra week off over Christmas. Most classes were cancelled and they didn\'t have to pay me. Now I work at a school where I\'m allowed five personal days which I use at Christmas. My boss always assumes I\'ll will be going home, and when I confirm, she always says \'That\'s nice. You can see your family\'. There\'s something to be said about people who are family orientated. I think it\'s very sweet. \r\n\r\nHey Phil.

Richard wrote a perfectly nice piece about working on Christmas Day and all you can do is bitch and moan. \r\n\r\nShould the Mexicans take Cinco de Mayo off? You do know Mexicans are piously catholic and celebrate Christmas also? Why didn\'t you ask that question in reference to Mexicans taking Christmas Day off? Oh, that\'s right. Mexicans are mostly brown people. You know many non-whites celebrate Christmas, as well? In fact, over 2 billion people in over 160 countries see Christmas Day as the most important holiday of the year. Should the Chinese be allowed a few days separate for Chinese New Year? Sure. They do at my school. They work Christmas while the rest of us have Christmas day off. \r\n\r\nMy school has 57 foreigners. About 80% of the foreigners think of Christmas Day as a holiday. The rest are Chinese and take off Chinese New Year. Apparently some of the Thai staff, kids and parents have some connection to China and also take time off. What a happy coincidence. My school allows its large foreign staff to have Christmas Day off because it\'s a nice and accommodating thing to do. We very much appreciate it. Even the Jewish guy I work with takes the day off. You treat your staff well and they\'ll be grateful. Should try it with you own. \r\n\r\nOn Christmas Eve we work a half day. We are then off until the first working day of January. On Christmas Eve we have a Christmas play, some teachers dress as Santa and we have a lucky draw where students and parents choose gifts from under the 12 foot Christmas tree.  Everyone fucks off home at lunch and the kids return the following day for a half-day sports day. Then the school is closed until the first working day of the new year. I imagine my Thai school is very similar to many others in regard to holidays over Christmas. \r\n\r\nSeriously, Jack - you can\'t possibly speak to people like this in real. You wouldn\'t have any friends and you\'d be getting slapped around a lot. \r\n\r\nOh, one last thing - \"Did it really come as a surprise to you when you moved to Thailand that it is is a foreign country built upon Buddhist traditions and therefore it has a different set of holidays than a country build upon Christian traditions?\"\r\n\r\nFunny, Thais seem to have two new years.

INSERT INTO `ajarn_blog_posts` VALUES (26,5,'Thai culture course experiences','thai-culture-course-experiences','How to scam, exploit and demoralise foreign teachers','Here\'s a complete breakdown of my time spent on the Thai cultural course. Actually I\'ve decided that it was nothing but a teacher\'s council money spinner. It had little to do with improving a teacher\'s performance in the classroom and just when I thought things couldn\'t get any worse, the foreign participants were given an impromtu dance class.','<p>I was away from work when the news was delivered, but of course I was already aware of all the rumours. Still, I told everyone: \"This is Thailand, don\'t listen to rumours, believe things when they happen\".</p>\n<p>But when I received the phone call telling me: \" The Teachers Council of Thailand has decided all foreign teachers are required to attend a course in Thai culture, and you will pay for it yourself\", I knew I was wrong this time.</p>\n<p>Naturally, the news went down like a lead balloon amongst my teaching colleagues. I think the administration at our school knew that, which is why they broke further details into little pieces and fed us day by day rather than in one big hit. The details kept on coming.....the course is eleven thousand bhat, you won\'t get your work permit renewed if you don\'t attend, and you\'ll be doing the course in your free time.</p>\n<p>Like everyone else, I protested. I have lived and worked in Thailand for nearly five years. I have a Thai wife and son, I am a member of the Tourist Police and I own property here, surely I must be exempt from the course? Other teachers raised similar protests.</p>\n<p>The responding message was delivered in a Thai style but it was clear:<br />\nshut up and take the course (PDF link). We (The Teachers Council) don\'t care how long you\'ve lived here. We don\'t care what qualifications you have. Hell, we don\'t care if you can speak fluent Thai, drive a tuk tuk, eat som tam and sing Bird Tongchai all at the same time. You will come to the Thai culture course, you will do so in your free time, and you will pay for the privilege. You don\'t like it?<br />\nGet out of Thailand.</p>\n<p>Oh and by the way, that thousand bhat you paid for your teacher\'s licence two months ago is now invalid. No refunds.</p>\n<p>We tried to keep our spirits up. We planned some pranks and organised a social event after the course. After all, at least our employer said we could wear what we liked. Or at least they did until three days later, when the announcement came: \"Actually a phu yai is attending the course so everyone must be dressed in business atire\". Like my colleagues up and down the nation, I gave up protesting and accepted the inevitable. I would miss two days of weekend work, take the darn course and forget about it. At least my school was good enough to cover some of the cost.</p>\n<p>Day one of the course began with the typical smiles and greetings. The venue laid on a nice little breakfast pack for each of us and well wishers waited at the doors to greet us with: \"Hello, thank you for coming!\". (Like we had a f***ing choice!)</p>\n<p>Included in the impressive bundle of worthless documents we were handed was a collection of CV\'s for those who would be speaking in the course. It was certainly impressive. Today\'s speakers included two lecturers from a well known university, tomorrow featured a Thai graduate from Harvard. At least these guys should be red-hot teachers.</p>\n<p>So first up on the agenda for day one was \"Thai language\". Now, I must confess I was feeling optimistic for this. My spoken Thai is below par and I cannot read Thai atall. At least I might get something useful out of this morning.</p>\n<p>On comes the lecturer, but her assistant takes the microphone, greets us in Thai and then announces \"This is (professor\'s name) but I will be doing the speaking today\". Our \"professor of languages\" is obviously so unsure of her English that she doesn\'t want to speak.</p>\n<p>The course begins, the first few minutes goes quite well as we run through the different Thai tones and learn how they are expressed in written form. I desperately try to take in and store this complex information. We are fifteen minutes into the class.</p>\n<p>The teacher (or rather her assistant) moves on to consonants. We orally repeat every consonant (yes, every last one) three times each.<br />\nMy mind is swimming.</p>\n<p>Then we move on to \"special cases\" (I forget the exact classification). We go over each and every one of them, too. Three times each. My head is hurting. We have now gone at least ten times over the daily quota of new information for the adult language student.</p>\n<p>But the professor is far from done. She moves on to different letters of the Thai alphabet that produce the same sounds. You guessed it, we have to repeat them three times each. My spirit is broken, I am prepared to tell my captors any secrets they want to make this torture stop as I mindlessly repeat the alien sounds. I have a magazine in my bag, but all the while our boss is walking up and down the hall, checking we are obedient.</p>\n<p>For the next hour I fix my eyes on the statue of the Virgin Mary at the end of the hall, reminding myself that this isn\'t really Hell.<br />\nMary finally answers my prayers an hour later as we break for lunch.<br />\nThat was the end of the language session. We had \"learned\" the entire Thai alphabet and all its idiosyncrasies in one morning.</p>\n<p>The afternoon was a little easier. We were handed a leaflet published by the TAT (yes the Tourist board, not the Teacher\'s board) about Thai food. We had a seminar on Thai cooking, its history and ingredients. I was missing my Saturday job (which helps to pay my many bills) to learn about the ingredients of pad thai. How was this going to make me a better teacher?</p>\n<p>Day one ended at four PM. Too deflated to go out, I went home and dreamed of halls full of zombies, repeating letters from the Thai alphabet.</p>\n<p>Day two could only get better. Our lecturer (the Harvard grad) was going to use this extortion of our money and time by the Teacher\'s Council to teach us \"professional ethics\". A bit like Ronald McDonald teaching healthy eating, I guess.</p>\n<p>In fact our lecturer was a nice guy, though I noticed on his CV he was working for the Education Ministry which struck me as a coincidence (we can only guess how much these lecturers were being paid). We started off by being introduced to the Council\'s code of ethics, highlights of which included \"Do not form mafia style groups in school\" and \"Do not gossip\".</p>\n<p>But the bombshell was about to come. We were about to be introduced to the new qualification requirements of the teaching council. To the lecturer\'s credit, he did it wisely. He broke the news ambiguously and slowly so it took us a while to work out was happening, allowing the shock to dissipate.</p>\n<p>We were told we had two years to pass a one year course. The course would be done in our free time and cost at least sixty thousand bhat.<br />\nThe only other option was to pass four teaching exams, at two thousand bhat each. The only problem was, from the first batch of people that took the exams, less than five percent had passed.</p>\n<p>\"This is the rule for all teachers\"; said our lecturer, \"The Thai teachers must do the same\". He neglected to mention how much the Thai teachers had to pay. And what was this one year course? A PGCE? A master\'s degree? No, it was brand new course dreamt up by the TCT and totally unheard of outside the nation.</p>\n<p>I sat in disbelief. As we broke for lunch, my colleague held a piece of paper up to my face. It simply said: \"BS\".</p>\n<p>The afternoon was actually quite interesting, we were given some case studies about ethics and had to offer our own opinions. Still, many people found it hard to concentrate. That was all for day two, our weekend was over, and we had one day still to go.</p>\n<p>So after another week at work (guess what the main topic of conversation was?) it was time for the final day, and many of us predicted it would be the worst: Thai dance and music.</p>\n<p>Yup, you guessed it, they made us dance. They made all of us wear long golden fingernails and dance around the hall whilst singing the \'Loy Khatong\' song. If I were on a drunken night out with Thai friends, or if I were at least making a fool of myself by choice, I would have laughed. But as I looked around the hall during our dance, I realised this folly was part of the plan. By getting us to dance around and act stupid, these people wanted us to forget we were being scammed. In a building with at least two hundred people paying eleven thousand bhat each to take a compulsory course to improve us as teachers, we were dancing around in fake fingernails. It was truly surreal.</p>\n<p>As three o\'clock came and the dancing stopped, my colleague turned to me and said: \"Now they are done humiliating us, they\'re going to let us go home\". And they did, after mentioning that the certificates we had been promised - and which were the entire point of the course - were not actually ready yet, and they couldn\'t say when they would be available. Thanks and goodbye. I went home feeling violated.</p>\n<p>The next week at work more news came out. It seems highly likely that the four exams we had been told about were .....ahem....\"purposely difficult\" to the point where it seems that the only real \"choice\" is to take the 60k+ course. Yes, Thai teachers had to do the same course, but at a tiny fraction of the price we were given. Thailand\'s foreign teachers are in a fix.</p>\n<p>Now, I want to make something very clear. I\'ve said before many times that Thailand\'s foreign teachers are, on the whole, a very imperfect bunch. Any attempt to improve them is most welcome and if I were given a test of my teaching ability and knowledge, I would tackle it with relish.</p>\n<p>But I hope I\'ve made clear that I am certain this latest set of events has nothing whatsoever to do with improving foreign teachers. The way the news was broken to us and the incredibly quick set of agreements that have been made between the Teacher\'s Council and various educational institutions were not hard to figure out. The staff involved in the courses, the dual pricing system and the fact that every teacher had to pay for his/her licence only to have it invalidated without refund by the new rules told its own tale. The ninety five percent failure rate of foreign teachers in the four new exams - in a nation where every student in my school passed a university entrance exam (even the students who cannot understand \"Good morning, how are you?\") after paying the exam fee - fills me with resentment.</p>\n<p>If this was about improving teachers, give us a break. Allow us to take the course of our choice, charge us the same prices as the Thai teachers, don\'t insult our intelligence with compulsory courses in dancing, take experience and prior qualifications into account, make the exams fair so more than two people out of seventy can pass them and refund the money that every teachers paid for their licence about one month before the new requirements were announced by the same people.</p>\n<p>I have to pay tribute to the Filipino teachers. They are paid less than half of the salary we get and nearly all of them send it home to their family in the Philippines as soon as they get it. If the new \"requirements\" were a kick in the teeth for us, it was a bombshell for them. Yet they handled the course and the further shocks far better than we did, and unlike us Englishmen, they spent a damn site less time complaining about it!</p>\n<p>Still, the morale of the teachers has been hit hard and those of us with families are in a very tough position. We either allow ourselves to be blackmailed or we leave.</p>\n<p>That said, I can\'t see how this will work out for the Teacher\'s Council. There is no doubt that a huge proportion of teachers will leave rather than be pushed into taking the new course and who will replace them? Better qualified teachers? Why would they want to pay for a totally unrecognised course to work in Thailand when other countries will pay them? Travellers and loose cannons? Not likely, and the few that do will be unqualified and untrustworthy.</p>\n<p>The only people that are going to feel the squeeze are those with roots here. Most if us work weekends to help with those extra bills and forcing us to give up our free time is impossible.</p>\n<p>My message to the Teacher\'s Council is this: you\'ve had your little money spinner with the \"Culture\" course, but don\'t push your luck too far. This game of \"Who needs who?\" works both ways. We will allow you to toy with us to a point because we love Thailand and want to stay, but as much as you hate to admit it, you need us too. If you insult our intelligence and continually try to milk us like this, it might be you that ends up losing face, families that suffer and the student youth of Thailand that pays the cost of your greed.</p>\n<p>Tazza correctly predicted Spain would win the European Championship.</p>','','2008-06-30 17:59:33',1,'2008-06-30 17:59:33','2018-04-15 03:03:13'),(27,5,'Copland - becoming a tourist police volunteer','copland-becoming-a-tourist-police-volunteer','Tazza joins the Thai Tourist Police as a volunteer','What happened during the two-day training seminar organised by the Thai Tourist police. What exactly do we foreign civilians have to go through before we\'re given our uniform and badge and we\'re ready to patrol those mean streets. ','<p>So, six months after handing in my application to join the Thai Tourist Police Volunteers, I finally received my invitation to a training seminar. What should I expect? Well the initial application stage was fairly impressive. The staff checked my background with the embassy and the Immigration department. I know this because my interviewer said: \"Oh you work at [name of my employer] my uncle is a director there\". That seem to go down well. Heck, I wasn\'t even recruited yet and already the nepotism was kicking in!</p>\n<p>So with a 5am alarm call, I set off to Sukhumvit soi 5, wondering what I would learn from the boys in brown. The hotel venue itself was very decent, if nothing special. I was ushered into a large conference hall and presented with an information pack. Amongst leaflets and tourists guides there was a booklet that explained how to make a police report. The information itself was solid, but the translation was poor. I wondered how the Tourist Police could produce something like this, but I was about to discover things would get worse before they got better.</p>\n<p>The event kicked off with a senior sergeant welcoming everybody and declaring the training session open. Suddenly some music began to blast and we all had to stand up and salute. The expression of the commander in front of me stopped me from smiling.<br />\nWe then began a lecture on the role of tourism in Thailand. There was just one problem - it was all in Thai. There were about one hundred volunteers at the seminar. Less than ten of us were farang, the others were Burmese, Japanese or Chinese. Very few could understand what was being said. Suddenly, a strikingly attractive young woman stood up and said something to a commander at the front. She then walked to the stage and was introduced as both \"Miss Chicago\" and \"Miss Songkran\", who would translate for us. And so she did, though I think some of the volunteers were a little distracted from the topic at hand.</p>\n<p>After a coffee break, the next lecture was on \"national security\" and was presented by a lady called Porpharas. Khun Pornpharas was obviously a highly educated lady from an upper class family. Her speech was intelligent and articulate but the topics she addressed covered issues such as economics and the politics of immigration. For me it was interesting, but the body language of those around me told me they knew this was not exactly relevant for police volunteers.</p>\n<p>After lunch we had a new officer and a new topic. We were treated to a slideshow of foreign criminals believed to be located in Thailand. It was interesting stuff and I was ready to blast Bob Marley\'s \"Bad Boys\" track on my iPod and hunt these guys down, but sadly our beauty queen had gone home and the talk was only in Thai. It was becoming clear now, the senior command in the Thai Tourist Police may be great people and great policemen, but they couldn\'t speak English. Still, the overall feel of day one was good. This was largely down to a man call Senior Segeant Major Peter, who was almost a one man police force by himself. Throughout the day he had exchanged jokes, wise cracks, banter and pranks with both his fellow Thais and the volunteers. He had broken down the culture barrier and explained why Thailand needed foreign volunteers and how grateful the police were.</p>\n<p>Day two began on an interesting note as I was attacked while eating a sandwich at \'Subway\' on Sukhumvit by a drunken prostitute who was upset that I wouldn\'t hand her my sandwich. Sadly, I had not yet received any training that would actually help me deal with the situation. Would today be different? Luckily, the answer was yes. Our first lecture was in English and \"Peter\" explained to us the different codes that could be used on a police radio. He also threw in a few very helpful names and contact numbers that we could use when dealing with police in general.</p>\n<p>The next talk was an exercise in incident reporting. This introduced me to Pierre, the TTP translator who explained how the reporting system should work. After being given some more training booklets, it was time for the \"awards\" ceremony and some general mingling. I managed to talk with a few senior officers who seemed genuinely friendly, grateful and good natured. I also spoke with a long serving English volunteer who explained how I could receive further training and move \"up the ladder\" (yes, the volunteers also have a ranking system) starting with the Lions Club convention in Bangkok next month.</p>\n<p>So after a few snapshots, receipt of my uniform and a few goodbyes, it was over. The training was interesting. I got to meet some new people from around the world and make some friends in the Thai police. I do feel ready to start, but that is more down to my chance encounter with the long serving Englishman than any of the training I received. But that seems to be Thailand through and through. There is far more focuses on friendliness and welcomes than there is on actual skills training. That might suffice in most professions, but when you doing a job such as police support, you would want something a bit more efficient.</p>\n<p>It also worried me that there was literally zero physical based training in the entire seminar. Other than a few questions on the application form about health, physical details and martial arts training, there was no defence involved at all. However, it was clear that all applicants were carefully screened for their own backgrounds and paperwork. This was applied to everybody which I thought was good, though it was clear the Burmese contingent were being given the closest attention. Still, I learned something, met some new people, made some friends and in time I will be able to do a lot to help visitors to Thailand. It was time well spent.</p>\n<p>(Tazza has a blog at http://reallifethailand.blogspot.com/  and is hoping Southampton FC don\'t get relegated this weekend.)</p>','','2008-04-30 18:17:55',1,'2008-04-30 18:17:55','2018-04-15 03:03:13'),(28,5,'Notes on a semester','notes-on-a-semester','What lessons can a teacher learn from a difficult semester?','When a number of students fail their course, what can a teacher do to make the next semester a better and more successful one? It\'s all about preparing well, observing other teachers and talking less in the classroom.','<p>Let me start with the negatives first so I can finish on a positive note. This year I have failed my students. My Social Studies (note that is not English)  lessons have been repetitive, too difficult and unengaging for the students. Many of them have learned next to nothing this semester. </p>\n<p>This isn\'t an easy thing for a teacher to admit. As the old saying goes, a bad workman always blames his tools and teachers always blame their students, colleagues, school, the noodle seller outside or anything else that can absolve them of blame. The fact that I am passionate about the subject just makes the failure even more disappointing.</p>\n<p>I have my fair share of excuses lined up too: I\'ve been given no course book for my course, exams are \"vetted\" by a non native colleague in another part of town and with whom I am forbidden to even e-mail, let alone speak to. What\'s more, the curriculum is translated from Thai and photocopies of any worksheet take a minimum of five weeks to return and outside photocopying is forbidden (I have no idea why).</p>\n<p>But none of this absolves me of blame. A little extra preparation could have made all the difference. Revising my worksheets and simplifying the language could have made the subject mater more accessible to the pupils. A lot more imagination and forethought cold have made each class less predictable. The list goes on.</p>\n<p>So why have I failed? If I\'m aware of some of my failings - which surely is half the battle won - why have I not changed them? Perhaps the answer is something many teachers can relate to, it\'s just too damn easy NOT to make an effort in Thailand. I\'ve noticed that many \'long term\' teachers in the Kingdom sink into a pattern of work, it seems like the longer we are here, the more futile we feel it is to actually get anything done. After all, why bother trying to clarify the course curriculum for your class when it\'s such a Herculean task to even contact the responsible person? It\'s far easier just to do your own thing anyway, blow the curriculum.</p>\n<p>And of course the inevitable language barrier can blind a teacher - especially a teacher of any subject other than English - as to how well or badly he is doing. Students are so used to being confused by the language that they don\'t really give away their feelings towards any class, they just go through the motions, stuck in their own little rut, I guess.</p>\n<p>And that\'s what it all comes down to: a rut. I\'ve seen it take hold of many long term teachers and I don\'t want to let it get me. If that means I have to make twenty phone calls to contact Miss Siripong, head of foreign languages, only to be told she is out of the office for the next three years then so be it.</p>\n<p>So what can be done? How can I or any teacher that feels he\'s underachieving turn things around? I doubt there is any magic formula, but I\'ve come up with a few ideas. Many of them are blindingly obvious but it\'s often the easy points we miss during difficult classes.</p>\n<p>* Talk to the students. Not just during the class, but at the end of the class too. I\'ve taken to speaking to a few random pupils at the end of each period and just asking \"What did you learn today? Is there anything you want to ask?\". Of course I ask this to the class as a whole, but I find students are far more willing to speak frankly when the conversation is more private. </p>\n<p>* Don\'t be too proud to ask students for their advice. I think a lot of teachers see this idea as a sign of weaknesses or unprofessionalism.  I think it depends on the approach. I try to chat with a few bright pupils and simply ask them like adults: \"How do you feel about your class? Is there anything you would change?\", etc. More precocious students can often supply some useful ideas.</p>\n<p>* Prepare in advance. If possible prepare months, not days, ahead. This may seem to be another shockingly obvious point - and indeed it is - but I feel the longer teachers stick around in LOS, the shorter their preparation becomes. This year I\'m hoping to prepare at least one semester\'s worth of worksheets before the term has even started, thus avoiding my problem of waiting at least one month for photocopies to come back and thus killing off one more problem. It should also allow me to plan the lessons more effectively and make any amendments in advance as the course progresses.</p>\n<p>* Observe other teachers. This one comes naturally to new teachers but those with more experience equally naturally drift into their own way of doing things. There\'s nothing wrong with that of course except that classes can become predictable for students, who then switch off more quickly. I\'ve found that by watching my colleagues every now and then, I can pick up some new ideas for an activity or exercise and try out in my class. By changing my style every once in a while, students are kept alert.</p>\n<p>* Talk less. This is a golden rule of teaching of course, and the one challenge I am having real trouble with. The more difficult a class becomes, the more I try and talk my way out of it. The more restless students become, the more I speak up to try and settle them. It\'s a vicious cycle but it\'s important to try and break it. It\'s rare to see an effective foreign teacher who talks at length in classes.</p>\n<p>So this is my plan right now. Any more suggestions or tips are welcome. I\'ve heard it said that teaching in Thailand is like a dog chasing its tail or playing football with a ball and chain on one leg. But I have no plans to become another teacher who blames all and sundry except himself for poor classes. I know that if I can make my classes even a little more effective despite all the obstacles in my path, then I can be pleased not only for my students but also for myself. That makes the extra effort worth while.</p>','','2008-02-29 21:17:35',1,'2008-02-29 21:17:35','2018-04-15 03:03:13'),(29,5,'Sad tales of customer service','sad-tales-of-customer-service','What happens in Thailand when the customer service department lets you down','All I wanted to do was treat myself to a brand new games system. Little did I know exactly what lay in store. If you like stories of lies, cheating and cover-ups, then this one\'s for you.','<p>Greetings to all Ajarners. I hope you had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year. Tazza had a great Chrimbo but today I\'m going to play a little bit of Scrooge and share a sad tale with you..... </p>\n<p>About two months ago, I decided to treat myself to a new Xbox360 games system. After checking a few stores, I decided to purchase my system from a shop inside The Mall Bang Khae. The name is PS BOX , you might want to make a note of that name and avoid the shop (read on!). </p>\n<p>I emphasise this was an indoor shop near the IT section and not some dodgy, outdoor market outfit. Still, I should have sensed something was wrong when after taking my credit card, swiping and presenting me with the receipt, the man handed me another bill for 600 bhat said \"This is the extra charge we add on to credit cards\". </p>\n<p>I explained I had only paid by card to avoid the two minute walk to the ATM, I insisted he reverse the transaction and allow me to pay by cash but alas, nobody in the shop knew how to reverse a basic transaction, my wife had to talk them through it. </p>\n<p>But it was all forgotten when I got home and - like the overgrown kid I am - start to enjoy my new games. All was well for about a month, until my Xbox 360 started to freeze more and more often, until eventually it died completely. I was disappointed but I had read that it was a well known batch problem and had cost Microsoft one billion in repairs already. There is no Microsoft office in Thailand so I had to rely on the seller. </p>\n<p>I took my system back to the shop and was surprised to discover they expected me to pay for the repair myself. \"It\'s only a one month guarantee so it has expired\" the man told me; \"We\'ll call you when we know the repair cost\". </p>\n<p>Two days later I got a call telling me the cost would be 1,500 bhat. I couldn\'t be bothered to argue so I agreed to pay. \"We\'ll send it to Chinatown for repair and call you when it\'s done\" I was told. </p>\n<p>So I waited......and waited.....and waited. I visited the shop three times, each time being told \" Yang mai set\". Finally, after six weeks of waiting I got my wife to call and get to the bottom of it, and that\'s when the lies really started to flow. </p>\n<p>We were told that the repair was serious. It was not covered under any guarantee and a new part had been ordered. They had tried to call me several times to let me know. The new part would definitely arrive but it might take some time so I could come and pick up my system in the meantime. </p>\n<p>We would eventually find out that not a single one of the things we had been told were true. </p>\n<p>Sensing something amiss, I went to the store to pick up my system. The man in the shop (it was the same man we spoke to every time) actually told my wife \"Your husband tried to use the system on the Internet and that\'s what caused the problem. The chip has melted\". Anyone who knows anything about Xbox systems or computer systems will know how laughable that line was. We were also told that if we didn\'t want to wait for the new part to arrive, we could take the system to Sapham Lek and get it repaired ourselves. (So why didn\'t they take it themselves then?) </p>\n<p>By now, I knew that we had been cheated and lied to. But as unsatisfied as I was, I also knew that if I could get it repaired myself it would save a lot of hassle. So, on my next day off, I took a little trip to Chinatown to hunt down a repair man in the Hong Kong style Sapham Lek Market, and sure enough I found one. </p>\n<p>It took about thirty seconds for the repairman to open the system, look at the mainboard, laugh and tell me that someone had already tried to repair it and had burnt the ram insert to a crisp. A repair now would be impossible, my system was ruined. You can probably guess how I felt. </p>\n<p>My wife asked around and found out the name of the storeman at the sales store in Bang Kahe and, usefully, the name of the owner. That same night we marched to the shop (my wife is so cool when she gets ticked off!) and demanded to speak the manager. After getting his number my wife made the call. </p>\n<p>I already had my list of promises ready. If I didn\'t get a refund or replacement, I was going to write to every newspaper I knew, make leaflets and hand them out to people walking into the shop, and tell all my new friends in the Thai Police and the manager of The Mall shopping complex. I had the receipts from both the sale and repair of the system and they knew it. </p>\n<p>To my relief though, the manager was a lot more helpful. He told us systems had a guarantee of six months from the shop and repairs were done through a contact at an electronics company in Chit Lom. When told that the storeman had mentioned a repair at Sapham Lek, there was concern. \"Mr. Manager\" promised to investigate and call us back. </p>\n<p>Thirty minutes later the call came. Mr. Manager sounded worried. He confirmed that indeed my Xbox had been sent to Chinatown when it should not have been. The damage had been confirmed as serious but a replacement had not been ordered. Mr. Manager also apologised for the storeman suggesting I pick up the system and take it to be repaired myself. This should not have happened. </p>\n<p>Obviously, Mr. storeman had let me wait six weeks while my system sat in his cupboard in the vain hope I would forget about my computer. When that failed he told me a bare faced lie about a replacement part on its way and when that lie failed too, he simply tried to get me to go away and deal with it myself. </p>\n<p>Mr manager seemed apologetic and promised to meet my wife today. But the storeman was still not finished. Today my wife got at call saying \"Sorry, the manager wanted to meet you today but he can\'t make it, can you cancel and come another day?\". My wife agreed but, based on past experience, called Mr Manager to check. Surprise, surprise, Mr Manager knew nothing about the cancellation and was looking forward to meeting my wife as arranged! </p>\n<p>And that\'s where we are now. But my question is this: just how stupid are some people? </p>\n<p>Just how moronic is the storeman to think that telling us a whole string of shameless, bare faced lies was going to get him out of trouble? Did he really think that if he didn\'t call me I was eventually going to forget that he had my computer? Did he honestly believe that we are going to believe that I melted my Xbox\'s chip by \"using it on the internet\"? Did he really think that we wouldn\'t check about the \"extra part order\"? </p>\n<p>I have become accustomed to Thai businesses having \"laid back\" ways of doing things and I am familiar with the concept of a \"kind lie\" in Thailand, but this is the only the second time I have been told an entire string of shameless lies to my face. It has never worked on me and it never will. All it does is make me lose any shred of respect and grows my contempt for the person telling them. What makes things harder is that as I in a foreign country it is a lot more difficult for me to use the usual methods of recourse I would use back home (contacting media, watchdog groups, etc.). </p>\n<p>I\'d be interested to hear from fellow farangs about any similar experiences in Thailand and how they were dealt with (if at all!) and any advice!</p>\n<p>Tazza is a teacher with four years of experience.

What are some of the golden rules you should always keep in mind to make sure you stay on the right side of the school owner....and the law?','<p>Perhaps the ominous warning of strange things afoot came when one PE teacher lost his sanity in front of onlooking parents, teachers and students during sports day practice. The teacher flew into a rage (apparently because the students had not heard him blow his whistle) and trashed the chairball equipment before storming off in front of a crowd stunned into silence. </p>\n<p>But my problem had nothing to do with the mighty game of chairball. My problem was discipline. You see, I\'ve been teaching for over four years and until today I had only received two complaints. One was from a girl who said that I spent too long on games in the class - apparently twenty five minutes out of three hours was too much - and I was ordered to stop. Needless to say, the girl did not win any friends amongst her fellow ten year old students! The other was from my very first adult class, who felt my lesson was too grammar focused. I took note of the constructive criticism and tried to improve. </p>\n<p>It\'s notable that both those complaints came from private school students. In my two and a half years of state school teaching, I never received a single indictment. Last year, I moved to a well known bilingual school and began to teach grade seven and nine students from privileged homes. By then I was a confident and capable teacher, but a class of thirty hormonal students can test the best of us. </p>\n<p>After a few weeks of trial and error, most classes were falling into place. However, there remained a small group students who just didn\'t want to know. Each day they would simply spend their time reading comic books, sending sms messages or even disrupting the other students. </p>\n<p>In the end, I took them to the teachers\' room during their lunch break to finish their work. Today, the parents of one darling little Somchai contacted the school to complain that I had \"stopped Somchai from having his lunch\". (Somchai doesn\'t look like missing a couple of lunches would do him any harm) What\'s more, Somchai had complained that I was showing favouritism to a female student in the class! The undertones of the second part of the complaint was what upset me. </p>\n<p>Nobody likes dealing with complaints, especially malicious ones, but there is a strong chance they will happen to anyone who teaches long enough. In my case I knew I could rely on the full support of my admin staff and the Thai support teacher in the classroom (more on this in a moment). Somchai was eventually coaxed to admit the truth (he hadn\'t lifted a finger in months and the \'favoured\' student had done everything). It was probably a bigger deal to me than anyone else, but at times like these, I always question my own use of discipline. </p>\n<p>How does one deal with difficult students? Well, it depends very much on who you ask. In theory, every foreign teacher should have a Thai teacher in the room for support. The reality - as any teacher will tell you - is that Thai teacher support is a lottery. Some will be very supportive, most will do absolutely nothing and a minority will even encourage disruptive behaviour, either inadvertently or otherwise. </p>\n<p>I always seek to strike a good rapport with my support teacher whenever possible, for they can be pivotal in the progress and behaviour of the class (not to mention the fact that they are usually asked to report on you, even if they can\'t understand a word of English). But again, any teacher will tell you that a minority of support teachers have decided they don\'t like you before you even start. You are an unqualified farang who has walked into the job and receive a higher salary for doing it. I can understand the sentiment, if not the reaction. </p>\n<p>So let\'s say you have a delinquent horde of teenagers and a Thai teacher who simply wants to sit at the back and play Sudoku. What\'s the next step? How tough should you get?</p>\n<p>One school of thought that is prevalent amongst TEFL teachers is to simply do nothing and ignore the disruptive kids. The rationale behind this varies but is often stated as \"I\'m the only that gets bothered by it, so why care?\" or \"Getting angry doesn\'t help\". </p>\n<p>Whilst I agree with both of these philosophies, I don\'t agree that they are applicable to good teaching. For one thing, as the person responsible for the education of the students, a teacher should be the one who is \"bothered\". To say \"What is the point in getting bothered?\" is equivocal to \"What is the point in giving a monkey\'s about my job?\". Fine if that\'s your attitude, but don\'t inflict it on those of us mad enough to actually think that even in the TEFL world one lone student might take some kind of benefit from a teacher who makes an effort. </p>\n<p>The second line of \"Getting angry doesn\'t help\" is also correct. But again, I find some (usually new or just poor) teachers mistakenly link classroom discipline to loss of temper. This is, in fact, an oxymoron. Anyone who cannot control their rage should not teach, period. Good discipline - including a raised voice - is done in a controlled, precise and understandable manner. </p>\n<p>Whilst many educators can and do use very laid back styles of discipline - or none at all - for good reasons, my experience has shown me that many use the aforementioned rationales as a smokescreen. That ostensible reasoning tends to hide a lack of assuredness that manifests itself as either a lack of confidence in using any kind of discipline or a fear that the kids will \"hate\" a teacher and see them as \"serious\" , the latter being the ultimate anathema for the farang. </p>\n<p>Now I don\'t know about you, but even when I was a hormonal teenager, I had a well developed sense of right and wrong. Adolescent or not, I knew when a teacher was punishing me for something I had done wrong (how I wish I could track down some of those teachers and apologise for my behaviour) and which ones were just obnoxious (I recall one teacher who shook me by my ear until it tore and bled when I was ten years old. I had got out of my chair for break two minutes early). </p>\n<p>Teenagers, on the whole, are fair. If a teacher is reasonable in warning students of their behaviour (or translating if the students\' English is weak) and explains any disciplinary action and empathizes it is not personal, they will respond positively.<br />\nIndeed, many students come to respect this manner far more than the out and out clown style of teaching. I can think of at least one class where stern behaviour made me far more popular with the majority of these students who had become frustrated at the troublesome group in the class disrupting the lessons for everyone. Once the students know where the line is, you can lay back, enjoy far more jokes and games with them and have fun and productive lessons for everyone. </p>\n<p>But just where exactly should a teacher draw the line? Is any copying allowed in the classroom? Should I ask little Jittiporn to turn that ghettoblaster down? Should I break up the boys\' fight or wait until one of them is knocked out? Is an impromptu classroom football match acceptable? Should the teacher join in? </p>\n<p>Limits and rules (if any) can only be reached through trial and error. Different teachers will work best under different circumstances. There is no single correct way to use discipline in the classroom but there are certainly some good rules to adhere by: </p>\n<p>1) Never strike kids. Even if you have just seen a Thai teacher doing his WWE impression and smacking a kid with a chair. They can do it, we can\'t (and hopefully don\'t want or need to).</p>\n<p>2) Always give students the benefit of the doubt. The first time you see them using their phone, give them a very friendly warning. I always give at least two friendly warnings for any student. </p>\n<p>3) Use humour whenever you can, it takes the tension out of the situation. This works particularly well with students who are usually good but are having an off day. Instead of telling Somchai to stop or you\'ll give him homework, tell him to stop or you\'ll make him listen to Westlife singles for the rest of the week. </p>\n<p>4) Don\'t ask things of the students you cannot deliver yourself. If you are late for class, it is totally unfair to punish students who do the same. Likewise, if you are delivering a lesson that is not going so well, don\'t expect the pupils to be on top form either. </p>\n<p>5) Bear in mind that each class will develop its own personality, often defined by the strongest personalities or the behaviour of the smartest students. Try to get these students \"on your side\" whenever possible. </p>\n<p>6) In a similar fashion, consider that different students respond to different approaches. Some need praise, some simply need attention and some will simply have behavioural problems that will not be helped by punishments. </p>\n<p>7) Be clear and even handed when explaining punishments to students. Be calm when doing so and make a point of telling them you don\'t dislike them, you simply want to help them learn.</p>\n<p>And that last point is what it all comes down to. After all, even if you believe you are just a hired clown, don\'t you want the kids to be watching when you do your tricks? </p>\n<p>Tazza has a blog at reallifethailand.blogspot.com </p>','','2007-11-30 23:44:38',1,'2007-11-30 23:44:38','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(31,5,'The Youtube battle is over','the-youtube-battle-is-over','The Youtube battle has reached closure but with no winners','A user with a Thai sounding name from America posted a bad, offensive and crudely edited video that was highly insulting to Thailand\'s king.

On one side, Thailand has once again been exposed as run by anachronistic bureaucrats, with little or no understanding of the technology they manage or the psyche of their own nation\'s young. In the other corner, youtube has lost Thai customers for many months. </p>\n<p>It all started when a user with a Thai sounding name from America posted a bad, offensive and crudely edited video that was highly insulting to Thailand\'s king. Thailand\'s MICT (Ministry for Information and Communication Technology) immediately blocked the site and demanded youtube remove the clip. </p>\n<p>Youtube staff initially refused, citing freedom of speech. Later, they reneged and agreed to remove the video although due to technical glitches the very first frame was still visible. Sadly, the google staff failed to understand just how pathetic Thailand\'s military junta can be and accidentally caused them loss of face by offering to \"educate\" MICT on how to block specific videos instead of an entire site. </p>\n<p>Red faced, MICT continued to block the site and played up nationalistic sentiment by branding youtube as \"bullying a small country like Thailand\". Yes, that would be the military junta who raped democracy accusing the entrepreneur google group - who donate millions of dollars into poverty relief projects - of \'bullying\'. MICT also \"demanded\" that the American ISP company \"reveal\" the identity of the user who had posted the video and, best of all, threatened to make their lese majeste laws extra territorial ( i.e. applicable to anyone in any country).</p>\n<p>Of course, while all this propaganda was going on, Thais were denied access to the site. A message would appear on screen saying the site was \"a threat to national security\". Meanwhile any user based in any other country could view the trashy video, and its viewer rating increased rapidly. </p>\n<p>The propaganda continued. Thailand\'s MICT threatened to sue youtube. Various other web sites fell under the censor despite MICT chairman Sittichai stating his team had invoked far less censorship than its predecessor. Appearing at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand, Sittichai promised that youtube would return to Thailand in one week. He announced that he had requested new legislation that all internet censorship would require a court injunction. When confronted with a FACTTHAI reporter who produced reams of paper that listed the name of each web site blocked by MICT, Sittichai declared the list to be \"wrong\". That night, most difficult and critical questions were fired at Sittichai by fellow Thais. </p>\n<p>Nothing changed. Youtube, anti - coup sites and some discussion forums remained blocked. After several weeks, the blocking message changed. It seemed that (perhaps to save face) the MICT requested legislation had indeed come into effect and MICT were no longer blocking web sites but now the censorship was (ahem) \'voluntary\' censorship coming from the ISP\'s themselves!!! In my case the censorship was enforced by TOT, a state telecom company who happen to have army general Saprang as their chairman. </p>\n<p>But just as I had given up on my sinful wish to see the questions posed to the candidates for American presidency or the blunder made at the Miss Teen USA parade by Lauren Caitlin Upton , my dreams were realised as youtube magically reappeared. It seems youtube (not MICT) designed new software systems to filter offensive material. </p>\n<p>Still, nobody has come out looking good. The MICT and the entire junta have exposed their hypocritical and outmoded way of thinking. The junta are so used to censoring and intimidating anyone who disagrees with their view, they had no method of communication or debate with an agency they could not control. </p>\n<p>And while youtube is the most prominent example, it is far from isolated. MICT (or rather now \"voluntary\" censorship by ISP\'s) is huge. Web sites can be blocked for any number of reasons, all of which are classed as \"a threat to national security\". Midnight University, a chat forum for Thai students, was closed down after it was critical of the coup in Thailand. Many sites remain blocked and others are falling victim to the censors each day. </p>\n<p>Rather than articulating the feelings and passion of the Thai people, MICT responds to offensive content like a child sticking his fingers in his ears when he hears a noise he doesn\'t like. And by labelling google as \"bullies\" the junta made a big error. Google are renowned pioneers of charitable research. The irony of a junta in a developing country labelling google as \"bullies\" was not lost on onlookers. Neither was the dual irony of MICT\'s threat to enforce lese majeste laws worldwide after their own protests that people worldwide should respect Thai laws and culture. </p>\n<p>The Nation (or maybe it was the Bangkok Post, I forget) also did not escape blame. Their cartoonist created a picture with an internet user being shouted at by a monster on the monitor screen. The monster was shouting something like: \"I\'m the WESTERN concept of freedom of speech! What that means is that I\'m just here to be OFFENSIVE and VULGAR! You should admire me\". </p>\n<p>That cartoonist should look at himself. Would he have a job in a dynamic English language media industry in Thailand if it were not for \"western\" influence? Personally, I found his cartoon offensive on that partcular day. The difference is that I would never dream of trying to stop other people seeing it just because it upset me. Freedom of speech does include the right to say something others might not like to hear. </p>\n<p>Of course, we should make critical comments with reason and articulation, something the youtube clip maker did not do. The video was disgraceful and designed to shock. But what I\'ve always said about shock merchants is that they thrive and bank on attention to their actions. If I see a video highly offensive to the Queen of England, I would say \"The person who made this is obviously an uneducated idiot who should be grateful he lives in a country where he can express his feelings\" and forget it. If I made a great big protest about the video, threatened to sue the ISP and the hosting company and tried to enforce my own English laws on internet users in Somalia then I would be effectively drawing great attention to an unworthy internet clip. </p>\n<p>It\'s worth pointing out too, that \"freedom of speech\" is not a \"western\" ideal simply because it (arguably) originated in the west. Freedom of speech is a wonderful concept that allows us to employ critical thinking, which is crucial to academic progress and therefore, the development and well being of a country. </p>\n<p>Imagine this experiment: you take two groups of students who are all trained in economics. To the first group you say \"I want you to design an economic model to aid the entire nation. However, you must ONLY think about the KEYNESIAN model. You are NOT allowed to criticize this model! You are BARRED from viewing information or statistics on welfare economics! Now go and do your best.\" To the second group you say simply: \"Study what you like. Feel free to weigh up the merits and drawbacks of each model.\" Which group will produce the better model? Why? </p>\n<p>I love Thailand. My son is Thai. But sometimes I wonder if Thai people really understand that in many ways, they are facing a culture clash. They want to be recognised as a major figure internationally. They want FTA\'s , Premier League football, big time cinema and all the comforts of modern technology and a free market. On the other hand, they also want to keep their traditional values and identity which is great and admirable. However, such values cannot be enforced on others , nor should they be pushed on all Thais without giving them the right to decide for themselves. </p>\n<p>Like I said before , freedom of speech does not include freedom to shout \"fire\" in a theatre, but it does include the right to say things we sometimes don\'t like to hear.</p>\n<p>Restrictions on freedom of speech are simply a form a thought control and involve a huge amount of power. Thailand must accept that if it wants to be a fore - player in the modern world, it must at least accept that other nations allow freedom of speech. </p>\n<p>What\'s more, Thailand\'s powers that be should perhaps consider allowing Thai people to decide for themselves what is allowed to be said and thought about, rather than employing themselves as moral guardians and thought police for millions of people who never invited them to do so. </p>','','2007-10-01 06:26:22',1,'2007-10-01 06:26:22','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(32,5,'Meds! meds! meds!','meds-meds-meds','Medical and health issues in Thailand','Bear in mind that illness can strike at any time and when it\'s time to visit the quack, it can be a little different to back home. So how good is Thailand\'s healthcare system and exactly what are your options. More importantly, what can sometimes go wrong?','<p>For many, medical care in Thailand never stretches further than a visit to the drug store in Patpong, which must be the only pharmacy store to proudly display its range of condoms in the window. But bear in mind that illness can strike at any time and when it\'s time to visit the quack, it can be a little different to back home. </p>\n<p>Let\'s cover the good stuff first. Thailand has a wide range of excellent private and international hospitals. The buildings and equipment are far better than your average English state hospital affair. The cost is usually great value and well covered by most insurance policies. Doctors are often educated abroad and speak good English. </p>\n<p>However, there is a downside. As I type this it\'s 2330 and my son has finally come down from his drugged high. For the last two hours he\'s been zipping around the bedroom in a frenzy, while I tried (and failed) to calm him. He won\'t be going for counselling however, since my son is only sixteen months old and the drugs in question were supplied by local doctors. </p>\n<p>I defy anyone, anywhere within Thailand to visit a doctor and come away without at least two forms of medication. Go ahead, try it. Visit any random medical centre and tell them you had a slightly runny nose a couple of days ago. See what happens. </p>\n<p>Thais love their medication and in all my time here, I have never known anyone to come out of a clinic or hospital without a minimum of three types of medicine. There seems to be a two fold reason for this. First, it\'s an all - Asian culture trait that the second you feel unwell, you throw drugs down yourself. After all, drugs make you better so why not take plenty, just to be sure? The other reason is one that is subliminally accepted but not widely discussed in Thailand: the doctors and hospitals get kickbacks. </p>\n<p>Thailand has only a minimal health care system built into its infrastructure. Staff salaries , standards and medication are monitored only by a very inefficient and anachronistic system. When you pay to see a doctor here, you pay not a set charge but a charge fixed by the age, rank and experience of your doctor. A GP of fifty years of age would command a far higher fee than a newly qualified twenty five year old. However, even the steeper fees are actually very reasonable, it\'s not where the money is made. </p>\n<p>The real windfalls for these institutions - be they government or private - comes from the meds. Its a terribly kept secret that pharmaceutical companies pay monster kickbacks to medical centres, and that little line can only be kept going if GPs are \'liberal\' with their prescriptions. Have a cold? Take this bottle for your stuffy nose, this liquid for your cough , etc. Bad stomach? Take this stuff for the stomach pain, these tablets to stop the runs, this antibiotic to kill the virus, this orange drink to replace your salts, etc. , etc. </p>\n<p>What\'s more, the charge for these medicines is usually four to ten times the cost for the exact same product from the pharmacy across the street.</p>\n<p>One of the most prevalent areas of this practice is in the paediatric section. After all,what parent wouldn\'t be relieved to hear the doc say: \"Just take these four types of medicine home and your precious little one will be fine\"? Not a bad little sales pitch is it? </p>\n<p>I may sound horribly cynical, but there\'s nothing here that isn\'t solid fact. Don\'t get me wrong, the vast majority of doctors in Thailand are excellent. I must also note the doctors will usually prescribe the right kind of medicine so you will get better. There are exceptions though, I know first hand cases of overzealous hospitals and pharmacists giving antibiotics for colds and sore throats. Even a dunce like me knows that ABs don\'t work for colds.In fact, in England a billboard campaign has been warning about the dangerous of using such drugs when suffering from a cold. (It increases bacterial resistance to medication)</p>\n<p>If you\'re single, the above shouldn\'t be too much of a problem. The hospital bill still feels relatively cheap, especially if you\'re only on holiday. And us westerners find it easy to refuse the \"generous\" amount of extra products. When I was single, I used to politely but firmly decline every prescription I didn\'t need. All the creams, salt drinks and other nonsense, I refused. If I was given a month\'s worth of meds for a cold, I\'d just take one week\'s worth and visit the pharmacy with the box if I needed more later. </p>\n<p>This tactic can save a lot of cash. A friend of mine - new to Thailand - fractured his arm playing football. He was delighted with how well the hospital treated him and bandaged him. However, when sent to the hospital desk he was presented with a bag full of creams, tablets and other goods he had no wish for that more than doubled his bill! He simply refused the extra meds and his bill was cut by more than half! </p>\n<p>However the problem has become more serious and difficult to tackle since I wed and became a father. My lovely son has been ill a few times, and on one occasion a doctor prescribed a whopping eight forms of medication for my boy\'s stomach bug. I reacted angrily, telling the doctor I was well aware that too much medicine is damaging to anyone and asked if he would give so much to his own child. Justified as I may have been, it caused problems for my wife. In Thai culture it\'s a big loss of face to disagree with a doctor and even more to dispute what medicines you are given. Embarrassment and annoyance reigned on both sides. </p>\n<p>So while it still makes me unhappy, I\'ve given up trying to fight the \"meds\" mentality. If you have a kid, you\'re as likely to escape the problem as you are to escape taxes , as likely to overcome the problem as you are to overcome death. </p>\n<p>It\'s also worth noting that local clinics are just as helpful as hospitals for patients with minor ailments. You\'ll still get the same volume and brands of medication, but the charge will be lower.</p>\n<p>At least now - thanks to ajarnforum\'s Tony Dabbs - I have insurance. Remember though, most policies for children only cover inpatient costs.</p>\n<p>So as my beloved boy recovers from bronchitis, we have to deal with the drug highs caused by his three prescribed types of medicine that are all rich in sugar and glucose, causing him to hit the roof for hours each day. As long as he recovers, I can\'t complain. </p>\n<p>Tazmanian just turned thirty, and is preparing to take the head teacher\'s torch at a well known language centre school.</p>','','2007-09-01 06:34:27',1,'2007-09-01 06:34:27','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(33,5,'Why don\'t you just go home?','why-dont-you-just-go-home','Do the Thais really want foreigners here?','When I hear farangs crying into their beer that the country won\'t lay down a red carpet to welcome the unqualified, ignorant, often lazy and uncaring section of the foreign teachers community, I ask myself a simple question........why don\'t they just go home?','<p>I\'ve been around the Thailand block for a few years now. I\'ve mixed with the high society on occasion and fitted in snugly with my fellow \'low so\' scumbags for the rest of the time. I\'ve been lucky to meet a wide and eclectic range of people, some of whom have broadened my horizons and become good friends. Naturally, when chatting with fellow ex-pats I want to get their feel on life in Thailand and how we can bridge the psyche gap , or at least to establish if it even needs bridging. (Just what is so hilarious about buffalos anyway? Why don\'t Thais laugh at John Cleese?.) Sadly though, experience has taught me that the majority - but by no means all - of farangs descend into negative and whining fixations about Thailand. It almost seems to be a rite of passage for the older ex-pats, as though it\'s as unavoidable as the widening of the waistline and greying of the hair. </p>\n<p>I\'m sure both Thais and farangs have heard all the common lines. Thais are too old fashioned, they don\'t say what they really think, they overcharge farangs and so on. Some of the particularly undesirable foreign element have a whole host of more malicious and hypocritical attitudes to the locals, but those lines can be saved and dealt with another time. What I want to focus on now is a line that I hear so frequently - sometimes from older and wiser ex-pats than myself - and one with which I completely disagree. It\'s a yammer that arrives in many forms but usually manifests itself as: \"They don\'t want us here\" or \"They just want rich tourists to visit and clear off\" or \"They can\'t accept they need us here\". Just to type these words brings me conversation flashbacks, each and every one of them from a moaning farang, sat in Thailand.</p>\n<p>So Thais don\'t want us here, eh? And how exactly are they displaying that? A pogrom? A neo-aparthied system? Perhaps at least a second class citizen status bestowed upon us white folk? No it\'s not me being over the top here, it\'s the whiners who spout such garbage about being unwanted. There is a great irony about the \"We\'re not wanted\" brigade. They frequently draw attention to the fact that a marriage visa in Thailand requires a minimum cash balance to be held in a Thai bank. Surprisingly however, the whiners usually don\'t even have that visa, they have a working visa which has no minimum cash requirements whatsoever! So if Thailand wants rich folk only, how are these people still here? Of course, there are many who actually work illegally on a tourist visa. Yes, you got it, the same men (for it nearly always is men) complaining about the lack of a red carpet are the same who, by rights, should be asked to leave.</p>\n<p>The second lumbering irony is the pseudo-liberal attitude displayed by this crowd. As they gripe about Thai government denial of house purchases, citizenship and various other rights for foreigners in Thailand - as though the country had chosen them instead of the other way around - they will happily bellyache without a hint of irony about their own countries. It\'s a fact that many ex-pats from England or America bemoan their own nation allowing a huge number of immigrants who take up employment and housing in their new country. Such policies have arguably contributed to the ethic tensions and aggravation in these nations. The fact that Thailand is a partisan nation that puts its own citizens first is a point of contention for the whiners, who would often use exactly the same policies in their own home.</p>\n<p>The final frequent complaint is one that I do have some sympathy with: the dual pricing system. It is a little hurtful that some attractions charge foreigners up to ten times the amount Thais must pay. It hurts because it conflicts with the western psyche that skin colour and race should never be a factor in price variations. Yet, it hardly strikes me as some great conspiracy to break us all then ship us home. The few attractions that employ this system, I respond to easily: I don\'t go there. Instead of getting ten times the cash from me, they get nil. For the places that charge me just a little more, that\'s fine. Once again, the same group who complain about paying a tad extra are the very same who decry the fact Thais can visit Buckingham Palace for the same price as Brits.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong. I\'m prone to the odd gripe myself. I do get exasperated when apparently easy tasks at work are made difficult by the traditional Thai \"assume somebody else will tell them the meeting is cancelled\" attitude. I do think that sometimes certain figures in government play up nationalistic sentiment to disguise their own deeds, and such sentiment can manifest itself in certain demographics as anti - farang feeing. But these are mere piccadilloes in the big picture. When I do gripe , I try and do it with tongue in cheek.

However some slightly more dubious characters - notably some taxi or tuk tuk drivers - have become more weary of the \'Thai speaking farang\' phenomenon','<p>A few months back I wrote a short piece in my blog recounting my surreal experience in a chemist. Two staff members in the shop enjoyed a conversation about my personal life as I stood right next to them, with the staff safe in the knowledge that I, as a farang, couldn\'t possibly understand a single word they were saying. </p>\n<p>It was a humorous experience that has probably been replicated for most long term resident farangs, but what I did notice by some of the comments I received on my blog was the different foreign interpretations of such behaviour. One anonymous writer actually told me that my knowledge of Thai culture was \"lacking\" and that \"When a Thai says something about you or to puzzle you, you can assume they know full well you speak Thai and they are playing with you. Thai instinct is to always play the fool with the foreigner.\" Since the poster was \"anonymous\" I couldn\'t reply, but some other readers mentioned that their own experiences didn\'t fit anon\'s conspiracy theory. </p>\n<p>What is true is that most Thais consider their language very difficult to learn. Thais from all walks of life will often give a genuine compliment or note of approval to any foreigner who can muster up any sentence beyond \"sawdee khrap\" , \"arowy\" or \"tho rai?\". When speaking the local language with - for example - a doctor in a hospital, the recipient will usually be happy to continue the conversation in Thai without making a big issue of the fact. </p>\n<p>However some slightly more dubious characters - notably some taxi or tuk tuk drivers - have become more weary of the \'Thai speaking farang\' phenomenon and will sometimes blurt a complicated and quickly spoken line in Siamese to test if you really can follow what\'s being said. Often this will be along the lines of: \"So do you want me to go this way, that way or the really long way?\" spoken in a very quick pace. If the farang fails the test, or worse yet agrees to the long way while not having a clue what was said, the less trustworthy drivers might attempt a scam. </p>\n<p>But there is no doubt in this writer\'s mind that the most sport is to be enjoyed at places such as markets, villages, the out of Bangkok shopping malls and other such locations where the locals have less experience of dealing with foreigners, period, let alone those who can speak a little of the lingo. </p>\n<p>I\'ve found when communicating with people in this group, there are some noticeable patterns of response:</p>\n<p>1) The \"Huh? Ally wa? Bai nai?\" response. </p>\n<p>These such responses occur not only when the speaker has perhaps uttered a word an octave below its correct tone, but also when the recipient is simply so sure that farangs can\'t speak Thai, that he has already told himself that he will not understand a word this white skinned person is about to say. This phenomenon is most notable to me with bus conductors, who will often respond to my everyday request of \"sen tern pa-ram sam\" (Central Rama three) with several utterances of confusion and sometimes by giving a kind of \"Can anyone understand what this moron is saying?\" expression on her face to other passengers. </p>\n<p>2) The parrot effect. </p>\n<p>My personal favourite. School kids are also very prone to this effect. The parrot effect is different to the \"Huh? Ally wa?\" effect because in this instance the speaker is actually understood. However, the fact that the speaker said something in Thai is so hilarious that the recipients will repeat the words to their nearby friends, imitating the speakers accent at the same time. I\'ve never quite understood the hilarity of my saying \"Ao nii khrap\" at the market but it sure does seem to be funny to some. While this response can still irk me a little on a bad day when done by adults, it\'s usually done in good spirit. </p>\n<p>3) The \"Puwt Thai geng\" effect.</p>\n<p>More openly pleasant than the other two. The \"Puwt Thai geng\" compliment is one of several examples of the recipient being so impressed with the speaker making the effort to use Thai that an inordinate amount of praise is heaped upon him or her. To be told \"You speak Thai very well\" because you said \"Turn left and stop here\" is not really meant to be taken seriously, it\'s simply a playful recognition of effort. </p>\n<p>There\'s plenty more examples of typical responses of course, but the above are the most common in my experience. While the guide books and language guides would have us believe that all Thais will greet your efforts to converse in the lingo with warm smiles and praise, it\'s important to realise that, just as many an Englishman will communicate with a non English speaker by speaking English in long, exaggerated tones (after all nobody could be stupid enough not to understand slow English, right?) so some Thais will greet your efforts with responses that can seem a little frustrating or sometimes impolite to the foreign psyche . Don\'t let it put you off, your efforts will reap rewards. It\'s also important to note that truly fluent Thai speakers - which certainly doesn\'t include me - have fewer if any of these problems. </p>\n<p>But what about speaking Thai in the classroom? What about speaking Thai with Thais who would really prefer to practise their English? Maybe it\'s even worthwhile to practise Thai with other non - Thais who want to practise too? </p>\n<p>The first question is an old ajarn.com chestnut, and one that pops up on the forums on a regular basis. Whilst the question is open to a long debate, I think one of the stipulations on a \"Code of Conduct for Teachers\" form that I recently saw at an upmarket language centre sums it up nicely: </p>\n<p>\"The classroom is not a place for you to display your knowledge of Thai or to practise it. Thai should only be used for low level classes and even then should be kept to a minimum\"</p>\n<p>In my experience, this rings very true. I find the majority of teachers who use Thai frequently in the classroom are usually seeking to impress the students or simply practise their own language skills. I know of more than one teacher who will proudly proclaim to his colleagues \"This class likes me because they want a Thai speaker\" . Another memorable example occurred when I interviewed a man who told me on no less than three occasions he could \"speak Thai and Isaan\". I was tempted to tell him I was more concerned about him turning up for an interview in jeans and trainers than I was at his ability to speak a language from almost hundreds of miles away. </p>\n<p>Such errant thinking is a particularly easy trap to fall into in Thailand, since some local students make the honest mistake of thinking a teacher speaking Thai is a good teacher because the students understand him! In the old days I would simply tell other teachers that if the ability to speak Thai was necessary for students to learn English, we wouldn\'t be here and the Thai teachers wouldn\'t paid so much less than the western teachers. The next time a \"Thai in the classroom\' teacher tells you children need to be spoken to in Thai when they learn English, ask him how many times his parents spoke to him in Thai when he was a kid.</p>\n<p>The other two questions are more open to a quick, common sense conclusion. I always speak English with Thais who wish to practise. I figure they have fewer chances to practise the foreign language than I do. </p>\n<p>How about practising with other non natives? It seems like a nice idea, and I know a few teachers who actually do this. However, I always figure that it produces the same systematic errors we farangs like to whine about when Thai English teachers routinely teach students the same mistakes and mispronunciations. The longer habitual errors in language go unmonitored or uncorrected, the harder they are to remove later on. </p>\n<p>In conclusion, there\'s every opportunity to pick up and practise some Thai every single day that you are out here. Be ready to roll with some of the taunts you\'ll get and remember that while practising Thai is great, and even fun to some, remember there\'s a place and time, and it\'s not in the classroom! </p>\n<p>Tazmanian is a four year resident of Thailand.

This was never plainer than in the era of (blatant) Western imperialism – I’ve said previously that cultural studies writers speak of ‘orientalism’, which, loosely defined, means disparaging other people because you want to put them to utilitarian purposes.','<p>I thought I would continue with the subject of culture this month, and make one more observation on the topic – this is what I would ask people to consider. In the past, few English-speaking people could speak the language of other cultures, and vice versa. Furthermore, science was none too well developed, and the rationalisation of things like history and culture had not extended very much into the Asian region (Charles Higham’s books plainly demonstrate, for example, that it wasn’t until well into the latter half of the twentieth that there was really a lot of decent archaeological work done in this region). The consequence of which, we need to note here, is that perceptions of culture were very much based on a number of very ‘shallow’ factors – in that context, you are judging another culture on the basis of things like that they use disparate sounds and symbols to convey their ideas (without any real knowledge of what those ideas are); that they eat different food to what you do; that they wear different clothes; that they practice different rituals; and that they live in different kinds of houses. Is it any wonder, then, that the common perceptions of Thai and Western people alike were, until recently, almost exclusively that ‘our cultures are very different’ – when you compare two societies on this shallow basis, or on these particular factors, of course they are, that much is very plain to see.</p>\n<p>Not only this, there is a lot of convenience to the idea that ‘our cultures are very different’. This was never plainer than in the era of (blatant) Western imperialism – I’ve said previously that cultural studies writers speak of ‘orientalism’, which, loosely defined, means disparaging other people because you want to put them to utilitarian purposes. Given, that is, that the colonial project involved capturing the people of other cultures and enslaving them, and taking over their lands and resources, we can see a considerable impetus, in this respect, to support this notion of ‘different’, it is the most fundamental step in arriving at the conclusion of ‘worse’. From where, of course, you can then head on to say that what you are doing to other people isn’t so bad, because you are a ‘civilising’ influence - furthermore, it serves to allay the anxieties of those ‘unfortunately’ politically significant humanist ‘meddlers’ back home (read, the increasingly educated masses back in England that compelled, in the Australian case for example, when reports did reach them regarding the deprivations of ‘black-birding’, that the colonial government enforce limitations on such activities). It works both ways as well, conservative people in Korea wouldn’t be keen to say today, for example, when it comes to the dissolution of things like the idea that ‘age is better’, that this is an idea that Western people upheld previously, and that has been challenged by social progress – for those that want to retain such traditions, a far more comfortable stance for them to take is that the ‘evil-doers’ who believe that knowledge is better, and that age is not the sole determinant of knowledge, are just simply fundamentally different, to go beyond that would pose too many uncomfortable questions. Probably, anyway, there are ways Thailand fits into this – the one thing that I can certainly say is that in the past they were, in some ways, a victim of Western imperialism.</p>\n<p>In the present day, however, certain elements of this picture have undergone a dramatic change. There are many English-speaking people who speak Thai now, and many Thai speaking people who can speak English – in addition, they are not simply people for whom another language is the lingua franca of profit, they are people, in academic departments of universities and in the broader community, who can subject things to more objective introspection (seems like a contradiction in terms, doesn’t it, ‘subjecting’ things to more ‘objective’ introspection?). So too, humanity’s scientific understanding of the puzzle of culture has gone through the roof, as has our understanding of both the West’s and Asia’s past – the consequence of this has been to shed a whole new light on the way that Western and other peoples perceive each other. That is to say, when you look beyond the shallow factors, and realise, hey, both our societies evolved on the same continent (Jared Diamond explains some of the significance of this in ‘Guns, Germs and Steel’); hey, a shift to intensive agriculture as our principal means of subsistence is what has defined our societies and cultures in the historical period; and hey, subsequent to that we both pranced along that merry road to ‘civilisation’ that all the other cultures who embarked upon this course have also taken (Diamond’s ‘Collapse’, while I think of him, seems to be a good rendition of factors that unite these cultures, although I am certainly hoping it never comes to that)…well, it all makes a very compelling argument for the idea that we share a lot more in common than we previously liked to think. In this context, in fact, the idea of shallow factors, or the appropriateness of the term ‘shallow’ to describe them, achieves an added valency – we see that food, clothing, our language symbols and so on are actually the outer adornments of culture, or an easily changing skin that simply clothes a set of far more homogeneous social structures and functions.</p>\n<p>The point is anyway, that if we focus on merely food and clothing, or who wais and who shakes hands, when we teach culture in the class, while these things are indubitably comfortable, useful and interesting (or at least can be), we’re hanging around very much in the shallow end of things – it has occurred to me of late that a side effect of this could be that we are promoting a distorted view of difference. There’s a lot more stuff out there these days to include in lessons, along with (or as a basis for) the usual fare – I found Diamond’s account of Easter Island in ‘Collapse’, for example, a lot more thrilling than how you come across it in that usual text-book nonsense about ‘Great Mysteries of the World’, my students were really interested in doing some activities on that. In fact, to elaborate on how I concluded last month, in conclusion here again this month, it seems that the way forward for me at least is this – get students involved, like a good constructivist, in asking the big questions like ‘What is culture?’, ‘What’s different, and what’s the same about them?’, and ‘Why do these differences and similarities exist?’. Then, show them the different answers to these questions that are around, show them what lies behind these answers, and get them to think about things for themselves. In my experience they enjoy it, building a worldview is, after all, the natural order of things.</p>','','2008-08-31 17:09:37',1,'2008-08-31 17:09:37','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(36,6,'Culture in the English speaking world','culture-in-the-english-speaking-world','The problems in developing a university culture course','I have in front of me here a Culture in the English Speaking World course book that was written by a person with a European name at another university here in Thailand.

This course is standard fare in most English programs – the idea is, previously socio-cultural elements of language were by and large ignored in language-teaching programs, very much to the detriment of the students’ ability to successfully negotiate their way through English-speaking society (or, should I say, very much to the detriment of their ability to optimise their chances in English speaking society). These courses have, subsequently, set forth to rectify the imbalance. I should add here too that we interpret the English-speaking world, at least at my university, to mean the Western English-speaking world, and not places like India and the Philippines; these are fascinating and important areas of said ‘English speaking world’, and we consider it of great value to bring the practices of these places to the attention of our students. However, this course is intended to teach primarily the culture with which the English language co-evolved, as opposed to those that it is presently affecting.</p>\n<p>Now I have in front of me here a Culture in the English Speaking World course book that was written by a person with a European name at another university here in Thailand – judging by its overall tone, I would guess that this was in about 1950, and that the author was a Mormon. What the book amounts to, I mean, is this; what it does is point out a number of supposed differences between Thai and Western culture. It then goes on, basically, to justify the things that Western people do in a positive light, while at the same time casting the contrary behaviour – its Thai parallel – in a very negative light indeed. This is one of the standard techniques of marginalisation, or of orientalism – what we do is observe a cultural difference, and then cast our own practice as the ‘norm’, and that of the ‘other’ as an aberrant behaviour (for purposes I began to touch on elsewhere in my articles). Sure enough, in other words, there are times when people in other countries do things differently to the way we do in Australia, and when we indubitably have landed upon a better way of doing things (or so I would tell you, you, obviously, might have your own views) – what makes me very dubious, however, about books like the one I’m holding is that they often overlook the parts of my culture I’m proudest about, or make no mention of rationalist science and the progressive social changes it has wrought; that they’re obviously very proud of the other good things they are left with that the Thais recognise as being good things; that they take things that Thai people see as being bad things (and that are bad things) and cast them too in a positive light; and, that they fail to deeply rationalise any of the different practices Thai people have in ways that truly recognise the benefit of certain cultural strategies Thai people have evolved as a means of navigating our species across time. </p>\n<p>Put more simply, that is to say, I find it quite suspicious that a book that purports to teach Thai people about Western culture in a way that is going to leave them empowered to better prosper in an English speaking world should completely avoid any of our enlightened critical traditions, or that it should overlook anything that might create a critical platform from which to look at the rest of its content, especially when so many people’s view of Western culture is one that sees its chief virtue not as being our mainstream Christian traditions, but instead as being the sacking of tradition …I find it very suspicious also that it doesn’t really leave us appreciating anything about Thai culture in terms of the comparisons it draws. And, that it doesn’t cast even the most vexing of Western behaviours in a negative light, and that it prefers instead to consistently leave us with a sense of the righteousness of, by and large, very 1950s and Mormon-ish type behaviours. Just as one example of what I mean, this course book here points initially to why Western people are so ‘jai ron’, or so ‘hot-hearted’ (which, unlike the book suggests, probably isn’t an observation on the Thais’ behalf that sees us as being ‘in a hurry’ so much as that they recognise, like I often feel myself, that a lot of Western people are lazy, cranky, narrow-minded b******s) – it goes on to tell us that Western people value diligence, punctuality, and efficiency (all the while telling us, in the sub-script, that we value things Thai people do not practice), because we see people who do not possess these characteristics as being ‘lazy’ (which is a pretty pointed way of telling students they are, culturally speaking, a bunch of lazy coconuts). If we threw in thrift, I mean, along with the diligence and punctuality, we’d have the triumvirate of Christian Sheeple values, or the things we need to most concentrate on because they are in the best interests of the management (and I would say, again, that it is particularly unfair to suggest that the Western people, the teachers, in the Thais’ experience, are characterised by their diligence and their punctuality) – along with there being no mention of the Western people who stray from these moral principles, or should I say no mention of the natural propensity of all of us Westerners to stray from these moral principles, there is also no mention of any of the possible reasons why Thai people might, traditionally, like to take things a little easy. </p>\n<p>It’s just that boring old explanation for why, over the last 4000 years, most hunters and gatherers have been black while most people in agrarian civilisations have tended to be white, because ‘whites are more diligent, more punctual, and, quite obviously, because they were given a soul that leaves them a lot closer to God’. While, on the part of black people, they are ‘lazy and thriftless’ – what this book fails to make mention of, I mean, is that the people who clear the naturally producing fruit orchard of the rainforest in baking tropical weather to grow potatoes all day are quite obviously the idiots, because it is a hot and bothersome waste of time. While the ones who manage it as a natural resource, on the other hand, because it provides an endless supply of very readily accessible foods and materials that can be gathered in a very short time, have obviously got something going for them, because they are going to be left with a lot more time to develop other aspects of their culture (and because they can have a little nap in the hottest part of the day). </p>\n<p>Which they did, of course (develop, I mean, not nap, or at least not exclusively) – people in tropical climes didn’t sit around all day in their undies, vacuously swinging in hammocks, as the popular depiction of history likes to put it – they developed extensive environmental and social knowledges that Western culture could really, had interactions not been so absolutely exploitative and one-sided all the time, make use of today. Cantankerous people need an injection of jai-yen-yen philosophy, to cite one trivial example (in fact, I frequently find myself embarrassed by the way I handle things in Thailand, because I am inclined to blow up over things myself). And selfish people too, of course, could really learn from Thai traditions about the nature of sharing. Or, if you need the words of more learned people to sway you, another example I could perhaps offer you is this - something that people like Clive Hamilton of the Australia Institute are trying to tell the people of the industrial world these days is that we need more time to relax, because it makes our lives more meaningful – interestingly, centuries of cultural evolution have brought people of this bent to a conclusion that Thai people’s environment very easily allowed them to arrive at.</p>\n<p>The other thing I find to be both very predictable about this book, as well as highly annoying, is that unlike my view of my key cultural traditions, which has the West characterised by enlightenment and the attempt to establish true democracy, this book goes to great length to explain our Judaeo-Christian roots (that’s where Western history/civilisation starts in this book), and to conform to the Thai expectation that somewhere, secretly, every ‘normal’ person must be following a religion (or that it naturalises that other old boring assumption that rather than being an unpleasant by-product of civilisation, spirituality was one of its necessary catalysts) – the undue attention given to the subject of religious history in the West (with all-important cultural questions for students to consider like ‘According to the Torah, why must people suffer in this life?’ and ‘How did Jesus change the Jewish religion?’…) – the undue attention given to the subject of religious history in the West, in my interpretation, I’m sure serves to justify to conservative Thai people that religion is, in fact, one of the central pillars of society. Which, if you believe the most scientifically minded people in Western society, isn’t an intention that is going to help them in any conceivable way. And which, if you believe a lot of them, is actually going to set their society back dreadfully. I mean, we all know ethics is important, and that religious morality contains a lot of advice around ethics that science well and truly backs (our project is to pick the best of the past, albeit that we are supposed to throw out the dirty bathwater that comes with it) – rather than being the central characteristic of religion, however, would not a better interpretation be to say that the essential goodness of a lot of things religion tells us to do is really the means by which all the other irrational and slave-like things it commands us to do are sold? Obviously, I don’t think this - of course - but it’s an idea that is certainly worth throwing in the air.</p>\n<p>The point is anyway, that when it came to what I had on hand to develop this course, I wasn’t much satisfied with the material we already had on offer – it was, at best, outdated, and in the worst of lights we could easily construe it to be extraordinarily culturally imperialistic. Which raised the question for me then, in view of these developments, of what really should be the best thing for me to teach – it crossed my mind at this point that perhaps I would be best to concentrate on simple contextual examples of language culture in action, or to focus on the importance of ‘please’ and ‘thankyou’, and of saying ‘excuse me’ at the appropriate moment, and other suchlike things (from which I could then move onto an enthralling expose of how while Thai people have Buddhist Lent, we celebrate – wait for it – the mystery of Christmas!). However, quite clearly – and obviously it wasn’t very long at all before this thought washed the previous one away – quite clearly this was hardly going to serve my students best; it takes but a moment’s introspection, I would suggest, to see that what we really need in such a course is to address the following issues. What’s the cultural crisis that confronts Thai people at present, and that in one major respect necessitates them learning English in the first place? Through their control of global capital, and, to a more limited extent these days through their scientific advances, Western people have a great power to sway other people’s culture through practice of their own – Westernisation, as visible as it is in Thailand, is what has the conservatives hopping, and even most of the average people at least a little worried. The central project for Thai people, of course, must on at least one count therefore be to understand this entity that is so influencing the continuum of their own ideas and behaviours – that way, they are going to know what represents the best side of Western culture, and they are going to be able to, of their own accord, reflect on what it means in terms of Thai tradition. At the same time, they might cast a new eye on some of the less progressive sides of Western culture to which they are exposed, and which many of them seem so eager to lap up, or will have a more informed stance from which to sort out what’s really good from what is positively dreadful.</p>\n<p>Which raises a very interesting question, doesn’t it – could it be possible in this kind of cultural dynamic, or in this kind of cultural engagement situation, that a conservative influence in the receiving culture could in fact have the consequence of meaning that the conservative part of the transmitting culture is what is taken on board? It certainly crosses my mind at this moment to ask this. But I diverge – quite obviously, if we are counting the directions in which the course in question here should be aimed, the next most important item on the list is the necessity of being able to use the English language with sufficient grasp of its sociocultural elements to be able to optimise your chances of getting along in English-speaking society…as I have been saying all along, and as it initially crossed my mind to, through the aforementioned use of simple contextual examples, do. Which I could immediately see is actually a skill that is derivative more so from a holistic (meta-cultural?) understanding of culture, and of Western culture in particular, than it is from the study of contextual examples (although they still have their place) - crikey, if you know that there are two Western cultures, the conservative and the progressive (the unscientifically and scientifically swayed). And, that hand in hand with these cultures there walks two views of culture, both of which see it as being ideas and behaviour, but one of which sees some behaviours occurring independently of ideas (the ‘nature’ view, I’ve brought this stuff up previously), and the other of which sees culture simply as ideas, or which sees all behaviour as being motivated by ideas…well, if you know this you’d know what old stiffo you have to bide your educated foreign tongue with to get a company job (if that’s your principal ambition in life), you’d know where to avoid regurgitating rote-learnt tradition (or where to speak your own mind) so as not to lose respect in front of the very scientifically-minded people who so often stand at the door of the best places we can head to in life, plus a whole bunch of other such important, shall we say (despite the unsavoury connotations of this word, you know what I mean) ‘manipulative’ skills. At the same time you’d be able to better defend your culture and dignity, because you’d know when people were trying to, in communicative terms, locate you in the racial hierarchy that is an intrinsic part of seeing history and culture in the traditional way – you’d know too that, in a Western society these days, they have absolutely no right to do so, and that in the worst of cases you have recourse to the law. </p>\n<p>If, I mean to say, a more holistic understanding of culture, and of Western culture, or a more cultural studies-like model for examining Western culture is to be an essential focus of the course, and if we indeed make it the initial focus of the course, studying specific examples of how to use the English language with different people and in different situations is something that really nestles very nicely into this greater framework. That is, it makes the study of particular contexts and situations, in many cases (stop calling me ‘sir’, Thai dudes), a heck of a lot more meaningful.</p>\n<p>Not to mention, of course, that it also paints a much better depiction of the meaning of things like Christmas and Easter, if that is what the student has set forth to understand, than the other example I mentioned earlier – they’d be able to see, for instance, that in the absence of the ritual significance of Christmas and Easter that religious thinking demands, why a lot of Western people simply see it as a chance to hang out with their family or friends. Or, even, why a lot of Western people are turned off these celebrations altogether, on account of their rampant commercialism.</p>\n<p>To cut what could turn into an otherwise very long story short, in other words, I’ve decided to take this tack – that is, to teach some of the central (sensible, I’ve talked about the try-hards elsewhere on this site as well) ideas of cultural studies, namely with reference to arguments around what culture is in the first place and what it all means in terms of the interpretation of Western history and society, and then to locate my contextual examples in this mould (and don’t worry, while I obviously have my own views, one thing grappling with the opposing viewpoint has given me is a fair capacity to render for inspection the ideas it rests on for objective perusal – that‘s all you need to do, have an objective look at what both sides reckon, to see the ludicrousness of certain aspects of tradition, and so I try not to go overly flogging the donkey). I’ve also decided to focus on cultural change, and the theories and evidence we have by which to interpret it (which are again, at least in the former case, derivative from the two main understandings of culture, adding further to the value of examining them) - I reasoned that, as well as giving us the chance to look at some interesting contemporary Western cultures, and to look at their interesting contemporary language products (to check out what young people, and not Mormons, are up to in the West), this is where the students can learn how to differentiate for themselves, in an informed fashion, what part of Western culture they’d like to emulate, and what part they might be inclined to reject. Quite naturally, too, because in this course is obviously the requisite place that this should be included, I’m going to throw in a bit of a Bryson/Bragg fusion of English-language history – where, after all, would one’s English language knowledge be if we didn’t have these writers to entertain us?</p>\n<p>It’s just an experiment, built on the rationale I put forward, and I’ll see how it goes – there seems to be a positive response so far, but as it is with teaching things like feminism, of course, you have to be careful you don’t, as I saw one commentator put it on the ABC website recently, ‘end up betrayed by the very people the theory sets forth to assist’. Basically, I guess the biggest dilemma with which I am confronted is getting the students to understand the importance of asking why (or at least getting them to ask themselves this without being poked) – before anyone goes accusing me of stereotyping Asians as incapable of critical thinking, however, I would add that the thought that has stemmed from that observation is that again, when you think about it, Australia isn’t that different a country to Thailand, teachers there lament the very same thing (Ryuku Kubota has many interesting things worth reading on this subject too). I’m certainly enjoying myself anyway, as I said teaching this course provides the opportunity to merge all sorts of very entertaining cultural products, like movies and songs and so forth, into the syllabus - it’s fairly cool, I mean, to be able to have serious discussions with the students about movies like Apocalypso or V for Vendetta, and to get them past the boy-band thing and to really understand songs, like Tata Young’s (is that her name?) or the System of the Downed’s (obviously for completely different reasons), that they like listening to, and that have interesting lyrical content. I’ll see how I go, and might even keep you posted (if it’s well, and not something I want to forget about)</p>','','2008-07-31 17:15:54',1,'2008-07-31 17:15:54','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(37,6,'Yes, but is it education?','yes-but-is-it-education','Privately owned media companies as promoters of education','What better way is there of broadcasting one’s message, or of shaping culture, than through an education system – I would say it’s quite plain why, exactly, an English language mass media company would invest considerable sums in creating for itself the image of being an educational entity.','<p>The topic I&rsquo;m interested in this month, because I saw people discussing these things on the forum, is the value of allowing privately owned media companies to front themselves as promoters of education. These are the facts as I see them. Obviously, if it is English language mass media, the more people who speak English the more people there are who are going to purchase their publications. Furthermore, and even more significantly in terms of the company&rsquo;s interests, the more people there are who peruse their products, the more interest companies are going to generate from advertisers. We might even add that the people who follow Western patterns of consumerism attract the advertising of very affluent global industries like fashion and cosmetics &ndash; very clearly, this is a very lucrative source of revenue to pursue. And finally, what better way is there of broadcasting one&rsquo;s message, or of shaping culture, than through an education system &ndash; I would say it&rsquo;s quite plain why, exactly, an English language mass media company would invest considerable sums in creating for itself the image of being an educational entity.</p>\n<p>It is this very fixation with profit, however, that might make us reluctant to agree with this particular representation (or should I say &lsquo;sales pitch&rsquo;?). The problems with it are, firstly, that the private mass media&rsquo;s vulnerability to the law, as well as the motto &lsquo;money first&rsquo;, make the straightforwardness of facts about a lot of things it provides very dubious to say the least. Things that might otherwise be left rather more open to interpretation, in other words, in the capitalist media, are often not left open to much interpretation at all, or tend to somewhat constrict our viewpoint &ndash; this, on account of the fact that such companies we might expect are on the one hand &lsquo;fiscally conscious&rsquo; of who they might offend, and on the other &lsquo;fiscally conscious&rsquo; of who they might better seek to serve. Even more concerningly, perhaps, there are very good reasons why the introduction of advertising into the educational environment has been contested time and time again, and why it remains a no-no in many countries &ndash; I teach media, and you don&rsquo;t have to go too far through even the most supposedly educational of materials to find advertising doing things like shaping concepts of beauty, or the value of class systems, or of how your money is going to be best spent, in very perfidious ways. I&rsquo;m sorry to the English language mass media to so perfunctorily let the cat out of the bag &ndash; I&rsquo;m sure you will agree, however, that these are very salient points, and that people need to consider them. (Let me put it another way, perhaps &ndash; could there really be any reason to argue that good school books, and good dedicated school materials, aren&rsquo;t in the long run a lot better?)</p>\n<p>People tend to, rather, associate the mass media with the idea of freedom of information, or more specifically think that it is the privately owned mass media that &lsquo;blows the whistle&rsquo; on corporate and government misdeed, and that gives us &lsquo;unbiased fact&rsquo; &ndash; there is still the idea abroad, actively promoted by the privately owned mass media and strung out since the days when an argument could definitely have been made that such mass media was not just a democratising, but indeed genuinely liberating agent&hellip;there is still this idea abroad that the &lsquo;free press&rsquo; is this wonderful thing that aids a country&rsquo;s transition to the wonderful state of Western democracy. Probably a better way to interpret English history would be this. The mass media came hand in hand with a revision of an existing social order. At first, it played a role that could be said (maybe at a stretch) to more so contest the existing social order than anything else. When it was realised the power this new technology-driven device conferred unto its owners and operators, people who also contested the existing social order (because they wanted to share the existing management&rsquo;s proceeds) seized not just this opportunity, but also took advantage of the fact that there was general unrest abroad, and used these favourable conditions to further their agenda. It&rsquo;s rather clich&eacute;d to say these days, in other words, that the privately owned mass media, unlike it so vehemently likes to tell us, is rather less of a liberating agent in Western countries, than it is a device for getting people to dance to the tune of political and corporate ambitions (I still think HG Wells and Howard Zinn mock believers in the ethos that a newspaper reader is &lsquo;informed&rsquo; the best) &ndash; it&rsquo;s one of the major puppet strings that, when we look beyond the bubble atmosphere of a flat earth, we suddenly see tugging on people&rsquo;s behaviours (and oh wow, the earth&rsquo;s round too!).</p>\n<p>Maybe I could conclude here too by saying that I&rsquo;m a little dubious about this notion that its OK for private enterprise to help itself while it is &lsquo;helping&rsquo; other people, or for us to help ourselves while &lsquo;helping&rsquo; other people in general (some spamming I see on the forum being a good example of that) &ndash; there would be conditions in which this were true, I guess, or when it would be good all round, but the problem is how often is it? Making it such, I would suggest, isn&rsquo;t an ethic for worshippers at the profit altar &ndash; more so, it is a straw they clutch at, a disguise beneath which they masquerade, that lends some credibility to what otherwise, in any naturally evolving human community, is going to be seen as very questionable behaviour.</p>\n<p>Whole nations get away with it but.</p>','','2008-06-30 17:23:49',1,'2008-06-30 17:23:49','2009-04-06 10:10:50'),(38,6,'First day on the job','first-day-on-the-job','A simple activity for your first day with a new class','If you’re new to the job, and haven’t figured this one out yet, you can start off classes with a new group in confident style every time – the first thing you can do is make a name card.','<p>If you’re new to the job, and haven’t figured this one out yet, you can start off classes with a new group in confident style every time – the first thing you can do is make a name card. A Korean teacher once showed me the simple way to get it together – you hand out a piece of A4 paper (if you want to make it fancy, upon which you will have printed a banner, with a few lines for writing on, across its breadth at the appropriate spot), you get them to fold it in half, and then to fold the outside edges into the centre, dividing it into quarters – you’ll find then that if you overlap the outside edges, and secure them together with a paper clip, you end up with an open-ended triangular prism they can write their name on, and sit upon the desk. Bearing in mind, obviously, that writing of the name should take place before the securing with the paperclip, because otherwise the process becomes a bit awkward. When they finish the class, students can just remove the paper clip, unfold their name card, and then put the piles of paper and clips they become into the file until next time.</p>\n<p>You can adapt the activity, furthermore, to suit different types of classes – one example of how might be to, for instance, with young students go through some materials for decoration and the correct way to spell and write their names. And then, of course, to have a little exhibition where they show their classmates their subsequent artworks (‘I’m Tippawan’, they can proudly point and say). If the students are unfamiliar with each other, you could teach them to say ‘Hello, my name’s …….’, and then grab their name cards, mix them up, redistribute them, and tell them to stand up and with such introduction find the rightful owner – or, if they were adult students, you could perhaps approach things like this instead. You could go through a few key English sounds, and how to spell them – take the opportunity to point out, for example, that if they want people to say a ‘t’ sound in their name, they’re probably better off not spelling it with ‘th’, because unlike what the shoddy transliteration of English using their own orthographic system teaches Thai people they are in fact completely disparate sounds – indeed, you could take the opportunity to raise their metacognitive awareness by broaching the very interesting issues of how ineffective the orthographic systems of other languages often are in rendering the sounds of our own, the disastrous effect this has on the pronunciation of English in foreign countries, and whether or not such practice should actually be encouraged in the foreign language classroom. Once you’ve gone through what sounds certain combinations of letters in the English language most generally symbolise for their native-speaker readers, you could let them have a lash at using them to craft their name in English – then, you could get them to come out to the board, write their effort on it, and you can read it to everyone as you imagine someone who knew nothing of the Thai language back home would, and see if they are pleased with their result. If not, you could get everyone in on making adjustments – this is also your opportunity to help them out in life in the English speaking world by making sure they haven’t spelled their name ‘Piss-a-my’, ‘C**t-ja-na’, ‘Poo’ or any of the other embarrassing permutations that can inadvertently crop up. The point is, making a name card is an activity for everyone, there’s no such thing as too childish, or that it’s actually a very versatile and constructive activity to start out with every time – in addition to its value as a language exercise, far more importantly it’s going to endow you with one other chief advantage.</p>\n<p>That advantage being, namely, that it is going to confer unto you the power of knowing someone’s name – folklore and mythology recognise, of course, that this is some power indeed, such that certain names in the past were often considered either secret and/or unmentionable. For young learners, in language teacher terms, this is going to strip the students of any anonymity behind the cover of which they might be tempted to misbehave (‘Please be quiet’ could be directed at anyone in the classroom, and in fact soon becomes part of the general hubbub in students’ minds that they themselves are creating – however, ‘Somchai, please be quiet’ has a very pointed effect because it is immediately commanding Somchai’s attention, and because everyone else is going to look at him as well…and, because the student’s figure that ‘wow, Ajarn is able to now name us as a troublemaker’, and thus perhaps strive to some extent to make sure that if ajarn knows them, it is better to be known on a favourable basis) – look, I couldn’t underestimate the value of having the students’ names clearly visible to you from the outset in classroom management terms, you cut out all the threat to the rhythm of a lesson that the difficulty of establishing which ‘you’ you are addressing poses (when soliciting students’ engagement through the asking of questions, or by naming people to read and so forth), and in my humble experience it’s the most fundamental step you can take in transforming your teaching environment from that horrible experience where you feel you’re just standing out the front and shouting and waving your arms to no-one in particular, no-one could care less…I would argue that it’s the first fundamental step in taking this dread scenario, so often confronted by the beginning teacher in another country with young learners, and turning it on its head.</p>\n<p>Which points now to the advantage of knowing names from the outset for learners of all levels, or to the general advantage of it – it’s the first step towards creating a human relationship with your students, whereby you indicate you are keen to know them, that you have some interest in their individual and shared cultural identities, and that you don’t want to take the out-dated/standoffish/authoritarian stance in the classroom, you are prepared to deal with them on a close and personable basis. Obviously the merits of this approach are going to be denied by some, imagined esteem, convenient threat-based student incentive schemes, and other ‘minimised workload’ regimes suffer considerably when we opt to take this tack – so too, there’s no use embarking on this course if you are in no other way prepared to follow it through. However, if you do know anything of the contemporary theory of language teaching, and most importantly if you’ve made reasonable effort to learn other languages yourself (this often being, quite significantly, the divider between teachers who see themselves as ‘sovereigns’ in the classroom and teachers who see themselves as mere ‘facilitators’ of information osmosis, I should have added that all the evidence indicates that the authoritarian stance is also the monocultural stance), you’d probably agree with the value here of what I’m saying – the point is, if you do think that having a human relationship with your students, as I have described it, is important, and that indicating to your students that far from being your liability (in terms of raising them from their miserable state of ignorance to the ‘lofty heights’ at which you yourself reside), they are in fact your valued charges, whose progress in life is of sufficient concern to you that you are interested to track it and develop it on a personal basis…well, obviously, you’re probably going to be able to see for yourself that this name card business is a positive step to take on the road which you’ll be following.</p>\n<p>One other thing I should perhaps mention at this point, too, being this – you’ll see I’ve been proceeding all along on the basis that you will encourage your students to write their real name, and not follow the practice whereby you give them an English name. ‘Now why on Earth’, you might wonder, ‘would he be recommending that?’, or bucking standard ‘Peacecorps practice’ – the foremost reason, or by far and away the most important reason, is that people are very tuned in to the sound of their own name. And, that when you give them a new one, they don’t equate it in their own minds very much with themselves, you can be saying ‘Paul, please be quiet’ until you’re blue in the face and the recently titled ‘Paul’ won’t care a fig because he doesn’t realise that it is him that you are talking to. Think also, of course, of how diminished your attempts at having human relations with the students become when you indicate their real name, and thus, it pushes to the mind of many no doubt, their culture, is possibly of little importance to you, you’re going to summarily label them something more convenient – the real advantages of knowing students’ names, as I’ve pushed them, only achieve their true effect when it is their real name with which we become familiar. You know also, while I’ve known some efficient teachers who do give their students an English name, I just can’t help having these concerns pressing on my mind – firstly, when I came to Thailand as a kid, and the older people said ‘Oh, your name is so hard to say, we’ll just give you a Thai name’, and then went through a few ‘humorous’ (to them) ones before landing on something suitable, I never felt so good – the people who had far more of a lasting impression on me were people who showed an interest in my real name, and who gave speaking it a real go. Also, I just can’t get the image out of my head of some bloody missionary, standing at the front of the classroom, sanctimoniously thinking to themselves that the first step for these ‘savages’ on the path to leaving behind their ‘debased native state’ and ‘primitive ways’ is to adopt a decent Christian name, one furthermore that won’t make them look a fool when they speak it (thus challenging their notions of intrinsic superiority, or of their ‘chosen-ness’ in the eyes of god)…well, do I need to continue. The thing is, as I’m reasonably confident I don’t need to convince beginning teachers of, this kind of practice was definitely centred in an age and ideology that has lingered on for way too long already – you’re hopefully keen to do better for yourselves, so might be receptive to the other option.</p>\n<p>My final note, or my closing note here, being that actually I don’t get my university classes to make name cards, I’ve been writing for you with far smaller numbers in mind – although when I come to think of it I probably would, except that I have all the students’ names handy on the class roll next to me instead.

I can side with him a little on the issue of the left-wing ‘intellectuals’ as well – having landed on generally left-wing arguments as those most appropriate to the analysis of society myself, I must say that in furthering my knowledge of these things I have often had the feeling there are an extraordinary number of supposed leftists who at the heart of things are really quite mainstream, but who have learnt that ‘walking the walk’, and ‘talking the talk’ can earn them a kind of social brownie point. Or, perhaps I should say, who imagine that talking the talk and walking the walk elevates their intrinsic human value – if you are at the heart of it mainstream, but you want to don the mantle of progressivism (some would say alternavism, of course), your ‘resistance’ to the system can only be expressed in certain ways, any one of which a real enlightenment activist would point out fundamentally changes nothing of importance, or any one of which the same activists suggest is really a bourgeois pursuit because it is (quite apart from how these people identifiably retain core mainstream beliefs and behaviours) ‘resistance’ that is contained and controlled by, and that all too often has already been turned to the ends of, said system – any real increase in social status that accrues from this kind of colonisation of the left can only be because there is a club of like-minded people who are going to cheer you into the fold, and of course given the nature of such ‘left-wing’ aspirations we can only say that in combination this club are imagining there is something worthwhile about what they think and do. We can see, too, from where the momentum to congratulate each other derives – if I didn’t overlook your obviously brainwashed, self-interested and conservative core attributes, and coo excessively about how wonderful your hokey artworks, music, writings or supposedly progressive opinions were, then I would be removing the platform from the very tool I myself use (in relation to a worldview that says everyone is different, and that following on from this convenient ‘logic’, that says some people are better than others) to show how much better I am than everybody else.</p>\n<p>Anyway, the thing is, I guess the more conservative the society in general, the more left-wingers there are that originate from it that are not in fact left-wingers at all, but who are in fact right-wingers masequerading as left-wingers to make themselves look good (or to obtain for themselves a sense of worth when otherwise they have failed to attain any of the usual benchmarks) – if a conservative society was going to actively encourage the resistance, we can assume that this is the type of resistance it is going to prefer, because if it pumps out this kind of ‘resistance’ in droves there is the opportunity to gain considerable agreement that this is an enlightened society, or to camouflage its real nature in this way, without heading in any truly enlightened directions at all. Furthermore, we might imagine that, in a world that for the most part has been dictated by hard-core right-wingers of late, who while they appreciate the excuse pseudo-left-wingers give them to look down on the left really have little other use for them…we might imagine that in this world a lot of these bourgeois leftists would find it difficult to get a job – when you look at the strata of Western teachers in Korea, we could perhaps make a fair argument that this kind of person is very heavily represented. And of course as I think Steve managed to very tellingly show, they do get up your nose, as I hope I have gone some ways towards explaining here myself he has every right to make an argument that their intervention in Korean society would likely be a very damaging one.</p>\n<p>However (and here it is)…However, I do not think people should leave Steve’s article with the impression that the project of injecting a bit of enlightened feminism (or any sort of enlightened discourse around race, class etc.) into the Korean classroom is something we should altogether steer clear of. Or, that there aren’t Korean people in their education system who wished that somebody would come and save them by encouraging a bit more of this overall. He has brushed over Korean women’s body image issues as though they are a natural part of growing up, and yes I agree that a middle school classroom is hardly the place to focus on radical tertiary-level Western feminist writings – however, something that struck me as an absolute tragedy when I taught in Korea myself, and that continues to sadden me as I see how heavily my own wife’s behaviours are dictated by a psychological requirement to conform to Korean norms around beauty and female respectability (she is reluctant to chat with people on our webcam, for example, or to go anywhere, even to the beach, without ‘putting on a face’ - i.e. she readily forgoes enjoyment for the sake of appearance), is how from the earliest age Korean women are crammed into this draconian, super-conservative old-world social mould. I noted, for example, that on the girl’s desks at middle and high school they have, usually on top of their study equipment, a mirror, a hairbrush and cosmetics – they would frequently zone out during the class to toy with these things, or would become lost for hours contemplating and organising their personal appearance – that a focus on this in the classroom is considered as natural for them as a focus on education (and that it should retain sufficient value in later life to endorse the continuity of the behaviour), as I thought particularly Steve might have noticed, in my opinion subverts the course of their growing up, and if I condoned it wouldn’t, I feel, make me very much of a teacher. I guess what I am trying to say here is this – I thought, like the line our immigration and business leaders in Australia feed us, that Korea was a developed country (or, on the other hand, that if it was Thailand style developed, that like Thailand we would find it redeemed itself through a tangible social emphasis on co-operation and compassion). However, the more I have got to know about Korea, the more I realise how here is a perfect example of how the technologies that scientific enlightenment provides can be used to augment tradition, or give the old-world the semblance of the new – as a matter of fact, the conservative traditions of stratified agrarian society are more strongly represented in Korea than anywhere else I have come across, leading me to the conclusion that the best general depiction of this society at present is as a threat to global human progress. You can say of this what you will – the point I am trying to make is simply that science shows us that age is not a reliable indicator in this day and age of knowledge; that black people are not inferior; that a stratified society is not a natural or acceptable thing; that women are not biologically ordained to fit the miserable role capitalist society shoves them in; that our commitments to our species as a whole are more important than family or so-called racial ties; that the Korean people are not a homogeneous ‘race’ in the first place; and a whole bunch of other things that run very contrary to what the Korean people, in my direct experience and as I believe I could very easily demonstrate through analysis of their cultural products, are in general, or as a general population, very strongly thinking.</p>\n<p>In short, in other words, the only thing that has in any way managed to drag my own society out of the terrible morass to which history consigned it are the principles of scientific enlightenment, and in particular how they apply to things like class, race, gender and so on – if we are to agree with modern anthropology and say that here in Korea we have exactly the same sort of society, but we are to observe that it has less developed critical traditions, the same responsibility we must take on in the Western classroom – that is, to give young people other options, or to show how enlightened people see the world – becomes just as important for us in Korea as it does back home. While it would most definitely be imperialistic, I mean, to say that Korea needs Western progress from a conservative or pseudo-leftist perspective – that is, while it would definitely be imperialistic to say you Korean girls need to become like Western girls if you’re the kind of Westerner who thinks that females in Western society today are in any real way freed from the chains of the past, or in any real way generally enlightened, as just one example…while I recognise the implicit imperialism in ESL teaching in Korea that people like Steve are worried about, can we not leave room to say that a teacher could gently obviate the faults implicit to certain traditional views in ESL classrooms abroad, while at the same time extrapolating on and encouraging more progressive understandings? Are we to forego altogether, that is, the concept of promoting enlightenment as a teaching ideal?</p>\n<p>The dilemma we end up at, I guess, being this then – how much of a focus on combating tradition should we adopt? Again, I find myself agreeing with Steve – if challenging Korean tradition is more important to the teacher than efficiently providing students with the basics, or if this becomes the foremost goal in the teacher’s mind, something is definitely awry. We might even go so far as to say, in fact, that if one is so zealous about this project that you leave people in any way resentful of you, you’ve probably exceeded the limits of your job description (not to mention have let Korea get to you too much, it’s time to leave). Also, as mentioned already, middle school isn’t the place for strictly tertiary level discourse, the kids are still being built up to that level. But, there are other, more passive and more constructive things you can do. If you don’t like your students foregoing lesson time to primp, devise an activity aimed at their level that gets them to think about the comparative values of how the different types of activity they’re engaged in in the classroom are going to serve them later in life, and to discuss the social justice of this – use constructivist learning, familiarise them with the problem, and then get them to go through for themselves the possible solutions (if you can’t do this in a meaningful way for middle school students, I’d say lack of inventiveness and a patronising attitude towards your students has been plaguing your teaching all along). Probably, this would be the first step – then, the more general strategy it becomes sensible to adopt, one whereby we positively represent females in ways that are simultaneously out of the traditional mould, but that are very believable, in our course materials, would take on an added valency, because as you kept bringing up examples of females that didn’t fit the norm the girls might contemplate more seriously just how it is that they’ve escaped it (raise their metacognitive awareness of the issue, that is, then the steps one takes against it become more meaningful). It gets back to this, I guess – the argument in the ESL literature is that, for those who have the nous to spot it, often even the simplest materials we employ in teaching, and the simplest pedagogies we devise, are strongly enculturing students with dubious traditions. The solution isn’t, of course, to shove your objections down children’s throats, but to oh-so-gently rectify the imbalance.</p>\n<p>And in fact there is a lot of evidence to show that students like challenging the status quo, because it is often young people who still retain the presence of mind to ask questions about why things happen to be the way they are, rather than simply consigning themselves to them – if you go about it in the right way, as well as being something that we should perhaps encourage on the grounds of teacher ethics, you will most likely find your students become even more interested in your lessons.</p>\n<p>At any rate, there endeth the spiel – if nothing else I just wanted to make the point that not everyone trying to get a bit of progressivism in the classroom is perhaps a total idiot, surely there should be encouragement to do this, albeit in a well-considered way. Which might be what Steve thinks for all I know, he just got me to thinking.</p>\n<p>Yours Sincerely,</p>\n<p>Matt Smith</p>','','2008-04-30 21:46:14',1,'2008-04-30 21:46:14','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(40,6,'White or wrong?','white-or-wrong','The strange fixation that Thai people have with white skin.','If we look at Thailand’s cultural products – that is, when we look at how beauty is represented in the media, in literature, in people’s popular perceptions and so forth – why do we so overwhelmingly see that white skin is thought of as more beautiful? Let\'s delve into this issue and perhaps find out where exactly the root of the perception lies.','<p>This month, I wanted to talk about the fixation Thai people have with white skin. Why is it, I mean, that when we search through Thailand’s cultural products – that is, when we look at how beauty is represented in the media, in literature, in people’s popular perceptions and so forth – that we so overwhelmingly see that white skin is thought of as more beautiful? In fact, there can be no understating just how much better white skin is thought to be – the preference for white skin is such that we can quite fairly say that people who are of a darker skin cast suffer a certain stigma in Thai society, or are generally thought less of and enjoy fewer opportunities in life than their lighter counterparts. You’ve all seen it, I mean – advertising banners with slogans like ‘White or Wrong’ only achieve their impetus when in the common mindset there is sufficient direct experience of the disadvantages of being dark-skinned to validate the claim. Or, that is to say, are only so prominently shown around the place – and we all know Thailand is awash with these types of advertising sentiments – when there is sufficient common agreement with them to make them commercially viable.</p>\n<p>So firstly, then, is there a scientific basis for this idea that white is better? And the answer to that is, as we have been scientifically sure of for sufficiently long enough now to see that we’re faced with a serious problem in terms of people’s widespread inability to see this, ‘NO’. At the end of the 19th century, while looking for the facial characteristics of criminals, the notorious racist Francis Galton made a very serendipitous discovery – he discovered, by overlapping pictures of people, that when you put them on top of one another the image became progressively more beautiful. Thus showing, of course, seeing as the same holds true today, that what the brain finds naturally beautiful are the average set of features it detects amongst the people it primarily encounters. Furthermore, there are some scientists who suggest now that what the brain finds beautiful are features that are easily processed by our facial recognition software – it’s geared towards the average, and in addition I find this idea appealing because I have met many people who at first I didn’t find attractive, but who as I grew to knew them increasingly became more beautiful in my eyes. In fact the whole Asian population are like this – when I was first turfed out of white Australia as a kid and came to Thailand, I couldn’t imagine having an Asian girlfriend as they all looked really strange. Suddenly, after about six months, I completely changed my mind about this, and as you know I am married to an Asian (Korean) woman today. Ring a bell for anyone?</p>\n<p>The point being, anyway, that what we should naturally prefer, in a world that wasn’t tilted by the power of human manufactured information and if we were completely bereft of the power to make conscious decisions about these things, is the average skin colour that we see about us. Which, for Thai people as a whole, is most definitely not snow white. I think we can fairly throw in the argument too, whilst we’re talking about natural phenomenon, that one would imagine that humans would be inclined to think that healthy is beautiful – and, of course, we know that in a tropical environment, a darker cast of skin is more advantageous. If you don’t believe this, by the way, you need to have a look at a chart of human skin colour distribution around the world today – higher rates of mobility have taken away from the effect of late just a little, but you can still clearly see that when populations were less mobile skin colour went from black to white moving away from the equator. Why? Well obviously, because this was what nature preferred. And of course what nature prefers, because otherwise this would have long since meant the end of us, at least in these types of cases, is better.</p>\n<p>One would imagine, in other words, if we’re going to blame this one on nature, that Thai people would in fact think that a darker cast of skin is better. But they don’t, completely contrary to what logic dictates they covet a fair complexion. So you can see culture at play – we must say that there are reasons that popular perception diverges so greatly from what we should expect, and of course when we do that we see there are a number of cultural inputs we can blame. First and foremost, I would suggest, there is the fact that traditionally, the rulers of tropical Asia have swept in from the north, where power has accumulated, quite likely in many cases to take over the helm of darker indigenous populations – you can see in my country, Australia, that European settlers didn’t say ‘wow, these Aboriginals people’s skin is well suited to the sunlight here, they look great’, they said ‘oh, they look different to us, we’re certainly the most beautiful, and these guys look dirty, black and ugly’. In fact, there was a great degree of inevitability to this – conquerors don’t feel as good about killing, subordinating and/or enslaving people they have a positive perception of, and are generally not as unfettered publicly to do this, as they do people who are seen negatively, and so bolstering what conquering people have made of the sudden difference in the average features with which they are surrounded when they enter a cross-cultural continuum there has always been this element that gives the outcome this particular flavour…if you know what I mean, I’m just saying that one of the seminal principles of cultural theory is that social convenience inclines colonisers to look down on their subject races. Over time, of course, because elites often have moved in from the north, you can see where this kind of momentum could most definitely have lent to the perception around these parts that white skin is better.</p>\n<p>Closely following which point, we then need to imagine the differences in personal beauty between people who lived a courtly life in the past and peasants, and the correlation between this and skin colour – if you were a court woman, I mean, well fed, parading around all day under a parasol, and never lifting a finger to do any hard work, on average we might imagine that your beauty could firstly be better decorated (more time and money were available to do this), and secondly better preserved, than a woman who lived a hard agricultural life – this much, I mean, is obvious. And, considering that the same agricultural life that would precipitate a greater degree of wear and tear on the female body also would make peasant women get much darker skin than court women, you can see how in people’s eyes white would come to be thought of as more beautiful. Acting on this dynamic, in fact, is that white skin would become thought of as a symbol of social status, and would thus become socially desirable – everyone who stood the slightest chance of doing so would want to look beautiful and rich, and being white in colour would form a fundamental part of achieving this aspiration. Never mind, of course, that there is a huge degree of injustice associated with the fact that the same grossly unequal conditions that made one woman wear out more quickly than another further cast the victims of this social situation in a negative light – this becomes overlooked in the very one-sided position that people are encouraged to, through the machinations of cultural power, adopt in these matters.</p>\n<p>And finally, of course, we should never underestimate the power of Western media in bolstering these perceptions. The fact is, there are millions of people who buy beauty products in Asia, and if a Western company can sell some, because the profit margin for clothing, accessories and cosmetics is so high (I used to work, for example, at a place that manufactured creams, and what costs a dollar fifty to make out of recycled oil from fast food deep-fryers and a few ‘essential’ oils can, if people are sufficiently enamoured of the brand, be sold for a hundred times that), there are huge fortunes to be gained. If, however, one is to develop a range of products to suit a non-Western style of beauty, it’s going to be much more expensive to manufacture, market and sell than if you could just sell everyone the same thing – the West’s access to and power over the global mass media is such that it is in fact easier and more profitable to go with nature, and to change people’s perceptions with constant informational bombardment, than it is to worry about entering into any degree of specialisation. In other words, it is very easy to, through the mass media, get everyone to aspire to Western beauty norms, one of which is white skin (actually, in the case of the Thais, to play on their cultural affinities for white skin in the first place) – then, the same products that are sold in the West can just as easily be sold in the East.</p>\n<p>Now I could quite naturally go on to say that people who aspire to the ways of Western culture, in developing Asia have often profited personally and considerably from this move, and that again not only do they choose to look like Western people they acquire the power to (overcome obvious criticism and) say their ways are best in doing so – I think, though, that when you look back you will find I have covered this point in general already. The main thrust of what I want to say here, of course, as I am constantly trying to tell my students, who tragically rub skin-whitening cream on for all they’re worth, is when you think about it there is no good reason why Thai people should, in the modern day, be of the opinion that white is better – if the things I’ve covered here form the foundations of the perception, I’d say that Thai people should definitely be inclined to re-examine it. It casts a negative light on the Western media (again) too – basically, the finger we should point here is that they are encouraging very dubious ideas, or ideas that are scientifically unsound and obviously very damaging in social terms, for the purposes of profit. Maybe you, too, like me, take exception to this idea, that black skin colour should be so undesirable that one has to anoint oneself, or even chemically treat oneself, with dangerous potions on a daily basis – if you do, and you think you can add to the picture, why don’t you drop me a line?</p>','','2008-04-30 21:56:30',1,'2008-04-30 21:56:30','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(42,6,'Trees or the lack thereof','trees-or-the-lack-thereof1','Global warming - something horrible is probably going to happen','You don\'t need to be a genius to see that if we continue the way we are, then the global warming crisis is going to turn out into something we could never have contemplated. Allow me to stand and look around for a moment.','<p>I was reading on the forum about how some people were skeptical of the phenomenon of global warming. And it made me think how, for me, the issue isn’t so much whether the evidence for global warming meets the standards of scientific certainty, but rather that, when you look at humanity’s impact on the environment, it doesn’t seem to require copious degrees of imagination to see that if we continue with our ways – the same ways that have led to the crisis of global warming – something really ghastly is probably going to happen. I guess this makes me more willing to jump on the global warming bandwagon, and I’m equally guessing that this goes for a lot of other people too – on the other hand, I think defenders of the opposition need to admit too that in their case there’s a lot of truth to the argument that we couldn’t say that global warming is a fact (in the same way that we can’t say that the non-existence of deities, spirit worlds and garden pixies are facts, you see what I mean), but that they’re treading onto tenuous ground when they say that the overall impact of the status quo they are defending doesn’t look set to make the world a less nice place for most of us to occupy. Actually, a comment lament from people who don’t come from the world’s concrete jungles, or who grew up in less dense settlements, is that the quality of living has already been diminished considerably for human beings because there are so few places most of them can go to without a crowd, and obviously, with the world population increasing, this isn’t going to get any better – the loss of access to the amenities of an unspoilt environment alone, or perhaps I should say more concerningly the loss of experience that cultivates an appreciation of unspoilt environment, and the consequent vanishing of the value that should be placed upon it within society (and what about the mass media supplied information, or mass media constructed world, that supplants it, eh, where’s the quality in that?)…the loss of this itself, let alone given any of the other risks we face, would seem enough to inspire us to action.</p>\n<p>One of the best renditions of the pattern of capitalist development was supplied by Alfred Crosby. In his book Ecological Imperialism, he outlines the fate of the first placed colonised by European people when they swept out of their native homelands, the Canary Islands. This is how European civilization ‘developed’ the Canary Islands: firstly, the native people, the Guanches, were murdered, slain by disease, or interbred with the Spanish population – today, there is abysmally little remaining that is in any way Guanch at all. Then, the forests were cut down, and replaced with farms that grew introduced cash crops. Animals like donkeys, camels and rabbits were also brought to the islands – it looks like subsequently the rainfall grew less, and the end result of it all was that today, after deafforestation, desertification, erosion and soil quality failure, the Canary Islands are a treeless and fairly barren wasteland. This is significant, because if we want to observe firsthand the effects of this pattern of development which has been repeated in so many places around the world, the Canary Islands provide us with the most long-term result. Although they did fall short of having the final step in the pattern, the blooming of dense settlements of human population (or shall we say avoided the final nail in the coffin) – still, it’s not too difficult to imagine how this step might add to the model.</p>\n<p>Now, when I look around myself, I can see a couple of places that are on this road. The first is my own country, Australia. The native people were, in the appalling jargon of the times, fairly much ‘dealt with’ by 1900, as was the forest – most of the valuable old growth, in fact, had been felled by halfway through the 19th century. And as the 20th century shows, Australian people were fairly good at replacing pre-European settlement ecology with farms. We’re even having a fair crack at present to create centres of dense population settlement, or have more than our fair share of people (‘tax’ collectors and people who sell and make things, or who own real estate mostly, for obvious reasons) who look enviously at America’s 300+ million – just 200 years down the track from when we got started, things are drying and salting up quite nicely (this is the demonstrated pattern of development, remember), and there are very few places you can go to enjoy the best things that Australia’s environment offers where you aren’t going to meet a few friends. In other words, we’ve replicated the conditions of the Canary Islands very successfully, and it looks like we can be fairly confident we’re going to enjoy their fate…except worse, because Australia is going to be a crowded barren wasteland.</p>\n<p>Even more concerningly, because this is where I live at present, I can see the lower north of Thailand happily heading out on this course too. Around my town, at the foot of the mountains, there is an endless sea of rice fields – as you go into the mountains, they are clothed in forest. But, there is absolutely no old growth forest visible whatsoever, it mustn’t have been so long ago that the hillsides were absolutely denuded. I poked around under the vines and things and there are any number of huge stumps (or more often holes, because even the stumps have been pulled up and sold); a couple of my classes also interviewed the old people, and we found out that it wasn’t so long ago that this area was the middle of a jungle. I headed to the temple museums too, to check things out – it was very sad to see these edifices built from massive trees, full of the few remnants of old growth wood that had been managed to be saved and put on display, and full of the stuffed skins and glass-eyed gazes of the many fantastic animals you could once have seen around here (I’ve seen nary a one of them out in the bush), not least because they are a very poor experience of the marvelous world they hint at. Anyway, what you obviously had here in the past was part of some of the most biodiverse and lush old growth forests in the world, and in recent times this has been converted into farmlands and towns (the population is really booming around here); this short way down the track, it’s hard to imagine there’s any negative impact from what’s happened, and certainly because the loss of forest was so abrupt and because there are so many people of immigrant descent around these parts most people are used to what you see now – is it my imagination, though, that Thailand seems to, in the 21 years since I first came here, have become each summer substantially drier and dustier? Certainly, if Thailand continues on this course, there is every reason to imagine that this could happen.</p>\n<p>If each couple chose to have one child, the world population would halve in a generation. Or, if wealth was limited, the people who profit from increasing population would no longer have the power to push their agenda they currently possess, people would come to their senses, and this would naturally happen. The alternative is to try and reduce people’s footprint, if you can in any meaningful way, by reducing their liberties – in other words, so that economic growth and profit could be maintained by those to whom these things are most important, there could always be a bit of further slave training. The latter solution is what we’re stuck with, because the former solutions, despite the straightforwardness of their application, are very difficult to bring about - that, to me, seems rather a sad thing.</p>','','2008-03-31 22:04:30',1,'2008-03-31 22:04:30','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(43,6,'Further unfurling of the Chinese situation','further-unfurling-of-the-chinese-situation','Cultural observations of Chinese students','I\'ve found out why some of my Chinese students aren\'t participating in lessons as they should.

In other words, they have either been staying up all night during the week drinking and going crazy, and then have been coming to class and just lurking there trying to keep it together. Or, they have been getting smacked out before coming to class, and have been sitting in there actually, as they say, ‘on the nod’ during lessons. Which explains a lot, doesn’t it? As to why I didn’t put two and two together previously, I guess I just thought that Chinese lived very sheltered lives like Korean people, and I didn’t expect anyone getting into a bit of recreational use of narcotics to let things get so out of hand that they would turn up to their university class non compus mentis (and personally, I find it more difficult to know if Chinese are out of it than I do people with whom I’m more familiar, and whose language I can speak) - if it had occurred to me earlier, as is the case with the universities in Australia I would have simply made it an explicitly forbidden act to turn up to my class off your head, thus at least making the perpetrators feel intensely paranoid when they did try to get away with this. More importantly, I would have liaised with my colleagues to make sure that for the cases in which things were obviously out of control, the victim in question received the appropriate counselling. </p>\n<p>Of course as soon as the administration became aware of this problem, they took all the correct and most humanistic steps to address it, the educated Thais were reliably understanding about the problems these young people had created in their (the students) lives – perhaps it’s tempting to think that Thailand created the problem, but of course when I asked the Chinese students they told me that drugs were very prevalent where they come from (which isn’t really very far away from where we live in Northern Thailand at all), and as I know many of them travel there by boat along some arm or another of the Mekong, which takes them right through a zone where all sorts of narcotics are very freely available (there’s no reason to suggest, in other words, that they were even buying their supplies in Thailand, because quite obviously they have been regularly travelling to places where this is much cheaper and easier to do – heck, perhaps they were even bringing it back and selling it, who would know?). No, these are just tragedies that could happen at probably any half-enlightened (i.e. not overly police-state) university in the world – the slope from casual fun with drugs to drug abuse is such a slippery one that there are inevitably people who are going to slide down it, and so rather than blaming Thailand in any way in this case, I think we just have to take it as a very commonplace, albeit tragic social problem. Furthermore, like I say, the Thais treated the victims of this tragedy, and indeed the whole situation, in as dignified a manner as was humanly possible, so we definitely have to give full kudos to them there.</p>\n<p>Nor would I, by the way, want anyone reading this to assume that I necessarily advocate experimentation with heroin – on the basis of my observations (growing up as I did in one of the most sadly heroin affected regions of Australia, and having seen so many people I knew permanently phased out of constructive human society by this addiction), it’s a permanently life altering experience, or something which all too easily drags you to places from where there’s no return. And how on Earth could any teacher ever advocate doing things that, as opposed to increasing your opportunities to live a free and rewarding human life, in fact diminish them so substantially? In fact, I’d like to point out that the only thing I’m advocating here, along with basic human liberties, is getting yourself a decent education while you are at university – if you’re letting anything intervene in that then whatever it is must be problematic, and quite obviously some sort of offer should be made to help you. </p>\n<p>Which directly accounts for some of the zoning out that was going on in class, and, as a catalyst for class dynamics to break down in general, indirectly perhaps some of the other manifestations of extreme apathy towards learning that the Chinese students were displaying – on the lighter side of things, addressing this problem, and also making the promise to participate fully in classes a right of entry into the classroom (part of the official procedure we set in motion at the beginning of this last semester, as per my previous article), seems to really have improved classes with the Chinese students. We’re far more at the bottom of the situation now, another enlightening piece of information I acquired through discussion with the students was that, for many of them, they don’t really see the degree they will get in Thailand as enhancing their life prospects (it’s like trying to use a degree you got in Thailand to get a job in Australia, of course they’re going to prefer an Australian education), and so they don’t turn up here as committed to learning as the Thai students enrolled in their courses – we’ve brought home to them that if committing yourself wholeheartedly to every educational experience you have in life isn’t, for some sad reason, a feature of your outlook, there are in fact a minimal set of responsibilities you have to uphold at a tertiary institution (if only in respect to the learning opportunities of other students), and that in fact there are penalties for failing to meet them. Also too, of course, their English is improving, as is their familiarity with the system here, both of which factors indubitably contribute towards making classes with them more interactive – these days, I have many Chinese students that are prepared to discuss things in class, as well as a steady procession of them coming to my office to talk with me out of lesson time about various aspects of their work.</p>\n<p>Some of them, but, if I can resort once more to the vernacular English I so love to use, are still the biggest units – I don’t think we’ll ever get them to realise that academic engagement and honesty are the way to pass exams, and not under-handedness. A Chinese student from my class, whom I made sign a contract saying that if she was anything less than completely honest at all times would absolutely fail my course (and, who I at the beginning of the semester actually made confront the question of what could teachers do when faced with aggressive exam cheating), just last week was caught in an exam for another teacher with a completely conspicuous cheat-sheet – when the teacher tried to remove her from the exam, and we’re talking about the kindliest and most non-confrontational half-Thai, half-Italian lady (and, by all reports, a good teacher to boot), this student physically attacked her. Nor did the unpleasantness end there – a Thai boy stepped in to try and prevent what was going on, and she absolutely put the boot into him as well. Later, one of the Chinese boys who comes fishing with me at times told me there is a particular type of Chinese woman that he says they know as the ‘rude and aggressive type’ (in the light of the circumstances, this seemed apt enough for me) – not only do they have a particularly unenlightened and self-centred agenda, he said, they fight very aggressively to make sure it is fulfilled. Without the fisticuffs, actually, or should I say the footwork, both of which are probably necessary in more populated places, I think there are groups in Australia with whom a comparison might be drawn here, so I could see what he was getting at.</p>\n<p>And are there any other interesting observations I can make about the Chinese experience while I’m on this subject? In fact there are. Firstly, some of them have been making themselves unpopular around town by getting haircuts and dinner, and then not paying for them – I can’t imagine there, either, what circumstances they have got themselves in, or what they are thinking, to do such a thing, but one thing’s for sure this practice, in a fairly tight-knit rural community such as ours, isn’t currying them any favour. Thai people are kind, but by no means stupid – once bitten, twice shy, so to speak. But not all cultural interactions are so frictional - there’s also a lot of love starting to transcend the culture gap as well. I know many female Chinese students that have Thai boyfriends – interestingly enough, they seem to prefer either the Indian or Austronesian (legs and arms like tree trunks) looking Thai men. On the other hand, there are also plenty of Chinese men that have a Thai girlfriend – there doesn’t seem to be any particular preference here, it looks like a case of whatever takes their fancy. Also, there are cases of Chinese students overcoming their culture’s social stigma against homosexuality, and I won’t go into the interesting combinations that are meta-morphing on this front – perhaps I could finish here by saying that quite obviously social constrictions, as cultural theorists have been arguing for ages, are very much responsible for determining the social pattern which has overt expression of only heterosexual sexuality, because when people get away from these constrictions all sorts of other permutations begin to emerge. Perhaps I should make the observation here too that Thai people are very adventurous when it comes to mixing it up romantically with other people – by all appearances, much to the dismay of many members of an older generation, I’m told, they seem only too keen to give it a try.</p>\n<p>Which fairly much does me for discussion this month, I’m pretty much out of steam – till next month, then, ‘oof widdershins’ (and yes, it’s a pun, actually borrowed from Monty Python, before any of you go sending me any pedantic messages about my ignorance of European languages).</p>','','2008-02-29 22:14:02',1,'2008-02-29 22:14:02','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(44,6,'Sick of eating white bread?','sick-of-eating-white-bread','ESL theory and the framework it revolves around','To be a teacher you have to have an ontological and epistemological perspective, right?

Is this not, I mean, one of the most integral platforms from which your practice – course and material design, and methods of instruction and evaluation - will arise?','<p>It seems to me that my ESL immersion has been whitebread all the way. Actually, I realise now that ESL theory rests on some very interesting theoretical frameworks that, were they given the introspection they deserve, would not only vastly illuminate teachers’ perspectives on language and on learning, but would also contribute greatly to creating a more enlightened global society. Unfortunately, however, the platforms for understanding the things regularly talked about in ESL literature I have rarely seen spelled out in any way in journal articles, and were certainly never a feature of my textbooks at university. What we’re too often left to infer instead, I would now point out – and I repeat again this is in the absence of the wonderfully illustrative analogies and plain logic of an enlightened explanation – is that traditional views around human nature, and around language, culture and society, are somehow the best explanation on offer; hence of course, the employment here of the term ‘whitebread’, there’s been very little of either the critical tradition, or of the science that supports it, in my experience to date.</p>\n<p>All I ever wanted to see, really, and at first I kept expecting to come across these words at any moment, was the sort of explanation that follows. Humans evolved. They evolved a brain that mapped out, or that made a working model of, themselves and their universe as a means of coordinating their behaviours, or of navigating the species across space and time. Language must be examined in this context. Specifically, it is a way of mechanically broadcasting data, and the knowledge structures that data is used to build, from one brain to another, or of shuffling it about the infosphere; at the same time, because words and numbers stand for things and the relationships between things that are represented by massive amounts of data in the brain, or because they recognise consistencies in our internalised data…well, surely they must be a simpler thing to manipulate than the entirety of the data that defines them, or a very useful software shortcut for our mind.</p>\n<p>What I would then really have liked to turn the page and see, of course, being these words – it makes great sense to imagine that everyone has the same brain. Or, that if we were to expect any evolutionary outcome, in view of what makes the human species successful this one, which is so robustly supported by the evidence, is where we could have expected our species to have arrived. What makes our species so successful, furthermore, is the other evolutionary outcome we should anticipate – to make us increasingly successful as a species our brains increasingly freed us from having to rely on mechanistic mechanisms for behaviour (which ones we might have had being a really very arbitrary thing to guess at anyway), and gave us increasing power to rely on, and to develop and manipulate in ever improving ways, our working model of the world as the determinant of our behaviours. To the point, in fact, and again this is a view that is very robustly supported by the evidence, where there was really no clockwork element to our behaviours, or to the point where some sort of knowledge(what you could acquire and what you put in place) or conscious decision-making apparatus bridged the gap between mechanistic inputs and stimuli to behaviour and outcomes in terms of action. I kept expecting to turn the page and read, in other words, that the established wisdom, in the twenty-first century, is that humans were a kind of machine and that their brains and personalities were its navigational equipment, and that from this there were two inferences we could draw – firstly, as mentioned, that language represented the construction of knowledge, and that as such it reflected the brain’s computational ambition to realistically analogise the real nature and function of the universe. And secondly, that when we looked at our students, what was different about them was purely what sort of software was dancing about in their brains, and that it was our job to help in providing the data, and to also help in shaping the data, from which the brain’s natural affinity to build a realistic simulation of its universe could proceed. Alas, however, while in my encounters with ESL theory I have seen some hint of this from time to time, as anyone else with such expectations would only be too acutely aware of I have for the most part been disappointed.</p>\n<p>I wouldn’t even mind, you know, if the inference has to be made that we are instinctive or innately-driven creatures, if this idea was articulated to the degree that it deserves – there is certainly a lot of reason to suppose that the shape of knowledge is influenced by one desire, the desire to, as I understand it, maximise one’s emotional positivity. Again, however, things are never fully spelled out here – needless to say, what is never dispelled in any way, or even discouraged, are the traditional views propagated in stratified agrarian societies that there’s either a clockwork mechanism behind human behaviour, or that there are differences in the brain’s biological construction, that have led to the consistencies in the shape and function of these societies throughout the historical period.</p>\n<p>So there’s something problematic here, isn’t there? Either I’ve been reading the wrong books or talking to the wrong people. Or, the world of ESL is somewhat more white-washed than (or, to stick to the previous analogy, ‘white-breaded’), or whitewashed well beyond the point of, the simple prevention of a teacher who first had ESL served up to him in Queensland, who has since had to stick to mainly the textbooks you find lying around ESL resource libraries and free articles on the internet, and who has talked about teaching mainly with the kinds of ESL teachers you meet abroad, from encountering any less ‘McArthyised’ viewpoints. Of course, imagining that equality has a biological basis could be a pipedream. Or, there might be no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about living in a society where inequality is evident, or to, in more specific teaching terms, worry about either trying to propagate principles of enlightenment in one’s students, or, if dogmatism isn’t the problem, to rescue them from whatever informational desert it is in which society has landed them - before I take such a drastic route, however, I would at least like to stick the scientific understanding of human nature it seems to me underpins our critical traditions, in a teacher’s words, out here in the ESL forum to, as we say in Australia, see what everyone else ‘reckons’. After growing up in an era in Australia (I was born in 1971) where boys and girls studied the same things at school (a new thing at the time); after going to school together with Aboriginal and South Sea Islander people in a period in which the traditional social category of race had been officially discarded (also a new thing); after learning to speak other languages myself; after spending so much time immersed in other cultures; after becoming a teacher; and because I am convinced by the theory of evolution and like to read literature about it; this is how I, personally, have come to understand what people are, and how they function. </p>\n<p>I think it auspicious here, or that it is in keeping with the order in which things have been discussed here thus far, to begin with what makes humans, as a species, successful. At first, we would have been a much simpler organism, or one that behaved in this way – we might have been some sort of simple worm, I mean, that had a temperature sensor in its nose that, when it was too hot or cold, by means of a direct connection caused the worm to recoil from heading in that direction. And, it might have had a moisture-meter similarly located on its head that, when things were too dry, made the worm dig deeper. Then, a kind of intermediary mechanism would have developed – the worm would have developed a memory bank and primitive neural processing system that allowed it to store information received from its temperature and moisture sensors, and to arrive at the following appraisals. It would realise that consistent increases, because it would now have an internal map of these things created from past experiences, in temperature mean that eventually things would get either too hot or too cold in that direction, and so would much earlier shy away from such directions. Similarly speaking, it would realise that incremental disparities in moisture content in the earth around it meant that things were getting either too wet or too dry, and would similarly head back from treacherous worm-paths that started providing it these signals. Part and parcel of being able to turn back before things did get too treacherous, of course, was that control over the worm’s behaviour would have been wrested from the direct mechanisms, and given to the informational construct that analysed them – of course the mutations that led in these directions would have been greatly preferred by natural selection because they obviously made worm lives much safer.</p>\n<p>The obvious follow-up on this, of course, being that the worm would then have evolved the capacity to relate its perceptions of temperature with its perceptions of moisture; it would have realised that increases in temperature meant increases in dryness, and that decreases in temperature, because of freezing, similarly led to these conditions. Which was another great advance – the correct permutations of moisture and temperature to seek out, and thus an even more exactly safer life, would have been placed within its grasp.</p>\n<p>Now as our worm evolved, of course – let’s say, into something like a hamster – it would have ended up with this kind of mechanism. It would have had sensory apparatus to detect physical features of its environment – eyes to detect light, ears to detect sound, and so on. These would have been hooked up to feelings – there wasn’t enough brainpower for our proto-human hamster to figure out why it should do things, and so to steer it in advantageous directions it would have evolved a more primitive means of differentiating between advantageous and non-advantageous plans of action. Or, would have evolved a mechanism that made it feel good when it did things that were beneficial to its existence (like eating delicious food and having sex), and that would have made it feel bad if it planned to do things (for example, jumping in a fire) that weren’t. Feelings, in fact, would probably have been something the worm evolved – as the brain’s capacity to model its environment became more sophisticated, however, they would have played a lesser and lesser role in dictating behaviour, and a greater and greater role in becoming an input for behaviour. That is to say, our conceptualisations of the world, as we became even more human yet, would have been composed of empirical data, as well as a matrix of information that related to how our physical experiences had made us, or might be figured out to make us, feel. Which, by the time we became the humans we are now, it seems had become a fairly handy mechanism – when we were low on knowledge to figure out what was good for us, feelings could step in. When we were rich in knowledge, this could thwart our feelings to take us in detectably advantageous directions.</p>\n<p>Bringing us, of course, to the point made earlier, that when you think about what evolution leads us to expect, this is the reality – the better the ways in which organisms are able to informationally model their universe, or the more realistically they can do it, and the better the ways of playing things out against each other become, then so too the more advantageous this method of determining behaviour becomes when compared to the more mechanistic means. So, the alien anthropologist might say, for example, that a pre-eminent ability to base behaviours on knowledge, or the ability to do that exclusively, was where evolution was going, and that to find it we should look at the most sophisticated species on any planet. The alien might then go on to say that such species should be tested to see if they have reached this penultimate evolutionary point – and like I also said earlier, is there really any reason to suggest that human beings would fail such a test? Certainly, the observation would have to be made that imagining that evolution would prefer to build organisms over the long term that were restricted in their behaviours, and furthermore that exhibited such restrictions in variable ways; and, that this was what we expected a species that was as far ahead as all others on this planet as humans are to be like; is something of a long shot.</p>\n<p>Although our alien anthropologist would then indubitably proceed to note that, in humanity’s case, things are far from perfect, or that our adaptation isn’t working altogether to our advantage – it would then say that the obvious spanners in the works are that low levels of knowledge lead to more impulsive ways of planning one’s behaviours, and that, because feelings were the precursor mechanism, it is to feel good and not necessarily to correctly analogise the universe that we form the knowledge that actualises our behaviours. Which is where the debate becomes the critical tradition proper – our anthropologist would say that knowledge can consciously be aligned to prevent feelings from controlling our lives, and that the possibility of animosity towards each other (if you go ‘down a bad road’ and can’t get a grasp of the enormous rewards of rationalism, or if stupidity doesn’t get you another way first) has always been a very good mechanism for preventing this from happening. But, that through a sequence of historical circumstances, this mechanism became in the historical period defused.</p>\n<p>At any rate, it follows on from this, or if we are to say that nurture, and by no means nature, is the state of the human condition, that you can see why the idea of evolution would also cause us to believe that, short of very rare dysfunctions, humans would all have the same brain. What you expect, in other words, is this – it is a combination of a brain that allows us to model our universe, and a set of biological moving parts that best augment this precipitant of behaviour, that give us our vast capacity for evolutionary success. In other words, to replicate itself human DNA builds a robot that has, along with essential ‘life support’ mechanisms, a certain set of features to sense and manipulate its environment, and a super-powered computer brain that uses these features to enure the organism’s prosperity – the brain’s what makes the species successful, and so it makes sense for every organism in the breeding population to be possessed of the best one that human DNA can pump out. Put another way, of course, we could explain it like this – at a more mechanistic stage of our evolution, or when a single appendage could only be used in a limited fashion, changes to the construction of that appendage would have been very useful. But as intelligence took over, changes to any appendage would have been restricted to changes that complemented the now mutable ways in which limbs could be employed. There’s a set of basic appendages for human beings that represents the best complement we’ve been able to come up with so far from what we started out with – as well as expecting humans to all have the best brain on offer within the species, it also makes sense for them to be equipped with this basic set of features.</p>\n<p>Indeed, we can take humanity’s intrinsic homogeneity, if I more directly fulfil my earlier promise of putting forward a model, per se, of human nature, rather than just discussing it, to a whole new level – what we might say in the human case is that we are the product of a very special replicator. It’s a cell, firstly, that is equipped with a DNA resource. And, there is a juxtaposition of genetic material within this resource – let’s call it humanity’s ‘genetic essence’ - that, to reproduce itself, has caused cells in the human case to behave in very ingenious ways. It makes cells copy themselves to make human bodies. The purpose of these bodies being to, in a step of logic that transcends the levels to which most people’s thinking seems to be confined, create a huge replication factory composed of autonomous units of plant equipment (said bodies) that interact with one another to reproduce this genetic essence. Since it’s building all of us, of course, it’s only too convenient that the chief purpose of the production line is to homogenise the units it churns out, or to equip each one with the same navigational computer and basic set of features – even the essential differences, like the development of the different types of apparatus necessary for sexual reproduction, become manifest from identical beginnings, and develop in very production efficient ways. Furthermore, in the leeway for difference the idea of being possessed of a basic set of features (a basic complement to our intelligence) allows, it looks like we’ve been homogeneously equipped with another survival mechanism – we can change colour and shape somewhat over the generations when we’re stuck in different environments.</p>\n<p>The inconsequential degree of genetic difference we do show, needless to say, being very easy to explain in reference to this model; when we say our genetic essence is a juxtaposition of genetic material, we are not precluding either that some essential elements of it, like genuine and non-factory parts in cars, produce identical outcomes from somewhat different beginnings. Or, that there would not indeed be advantages from such variability, like the resistance it would give our species to viruses keyed to the factory, as opposed to non-factory, spares. Or, the ability that this leeway for difference might give us, as mentioned already, to sport different housings for our brains over time in response to environment. So too we can imagine how other types of DNA which don’t affect our capacities for evolutionary success one way or another might benefit from their inclusion in the nucleus of our cell by being replicated along with the working part of our genetic essence – variations in this company of hitch-hikers could develop in different human lineages over time because they would not be acted on by natural selection.</p>\n<p>And it’s still necessary to address too, of course, the argument for intrinsic human difference, or individuality, that burgeons in this context – given that sexual reproduction allows beneficial changes to humanity’s genetic essence to be spread across as well as along lines of genetic inheritance, and that in the moments between when changes such place we expect natural selection to make every individual in the human population representative of an improved version, are we at present at a point where everyone is intrinsically the same, or where we have both new and old versions of our genetic essence in operation? It’s a question for which there is, at present, no definitive answer – how often do changes to humanity’s genetic essence take place, when was the last one etc. But again, I would stress that, in view of the shortcomings of the traditional view (that we are different), there’s no reason to suggest that we fall short of anything we might expect. And, that the evidence, a lot of which is unfortunately very malleable, falls very nicely into place around the principle of intrinsic homogeneity. I won’t elaborate on this evidence here, however, because it just ends up in rather banal argument around twins.</p>\n<p>So, just a couple more things to add. Firstly, it occurs to me that perhaps I should explain traditional views around human nature a bit better. Basically, as the neuroscientist Ken Richardson very succinctly points out, when you look at the apparent diversity of theories of human nature on offer, and when you look at the apparent difference between what we uphold in the present day and the thinking that has dominated human society over the last few thousand years, what you see is this – actually, what we see perpetuated are the same essential set of premises. If I could try my hand at sketching those out myself, this is what’s been pushed – there’s the idea, firstly, that people are possessed of, like clockwork workings, an inner template for behaviour (one that is outside of the kind of mechanism I described us as having earlier), and that we either collectively possess certain compulsions (like the desire to breed, to compete, and so on). Or, that we possess group templates (race and gender), or individual templates for behaviour. On the other hand, or should I say hand in hand with this view, there is the idea, already mentioned here, that knowledge is at the helm of the human ship, but that people have different biological capacities for acquiring and using knowledge – here again this variability is presumed to exist between groups and individuals. Stephen Pinker is a champion of the cause, and if you want to get a grasp of the kind of ‘old wives tales’ from which these premises so often derive you could pick up near anything he’s written.</p>\n<p>What it’s then salient to note about these premises being that when it came to dominant explanations for how we happened to become the way we were professed to be, or of the causality of our human nature, metaphysical ones reigned supreme; for a long time, and continuing for many people in the present, the Western world, for example, was led to believe that God made us that way. There came a time, however, when the idea of God, even after He had been revised to have blessed not just the nobility but also the nouveaux rich, started to, in the wake of the theory of evolution, still look unwaveringly dodgy – there was a lot of disequilibrium in Western society as people struggled to find a new explanation for why traditional understandings of human nature, and thus the social structures they were either desperate to propagate, or used to, should remain valid – the panic ceased (McArthyism slacked off) when it was realised that you could show that less sophisticated organisms on this planet showed intra-species variability in their construction and propensities for behaviour, and when it was realised you could say that humans yet possessed such variability themselves, and that particular variations were the product of natural selection. We ended up, you know, with the view that humans are biologically compelled to reproduce, in as many surviving-to-a-breeding-age-themselves offspring as possible, whatever part of their genes it is they pass on to offspring (which kind of ignores that replication is a natural event, and that there are possibly other ways to conform to its manifestation than being focussed on conforming) – this is just another way of giving validity to the ideas that, among others, women have that ol’ ‘biological clock’ ticking away inside, or that competition is an inevitable state of human affairs. This gives rise to that whole mythology about how to fulfil this imperative, men have evolved to be more aggressive, and to be promiscuous, and women have evolved to be gold-diggers and proponents of marriage – these too, of course, are folk tales given a pseudo-scientific backing. And so it goes on, you know, the field of so-called ‘evolutionary psychology’ is rife with this type of rubric.</p>\n<p>The other observation we should make in respect to these premises now being that, as well as being an unlikely evolutionary outcome for the most advanced species on this planet, the view of human nature that they in combination illustrate is suspiciously very like the view of human nature that one would design if one wanted to perpetuate the historical structure of Western society. I’m not crying conspiracy, of course, because it is very easy to imagine how, with a lateral nudge in the right directions here and there, things could have by and large biocomputed to be this way (although I am not precluding a certain degree of conspiracy either). But what I am saying, is that perhaps the principle reason to be a bit stand-offish about it is that it is so damn socially convenient. Our society is, and has throughout the historical period always been, a stratified one, right? Or, we might fairly say, a ‘people farm’, in which there are the husbanders and the herders. And so if you wanted to do things that perpetuated inequality, you could easily agree that inequality was a bad thing without being criticised for not doing anything about it because you could say that it was inevitable. On the other hand, if you were being oppressed, you could avoid killing yourself from despair, or having to gnash your teeth to stubs, because you could at least seriously consider the possibility that it was inevitable. Heck with it, if the lifestyle to which society had confined you made you lazy to get out of bed in the morning, you could avoid feeling too bad about that too because you could blame it on your biology – the traditional explanation of human nature has to be, I mean to say, the world’s most universally socially convenient concept. Imagine too how much it would rock the boat to have too much of a social emphasis on intrinsic homogeneity – if we’re looking for reasons why people would in this case be emotionally steadfast about promoting something that seems to so obviously fly in the face of reason, it seems there’s no necessity in this case to be making any guesses.</p>\n<p>The next thing I’d like to add here being now that, in relation to the evolution of intelligence as we described it earlier, it seems easy to see how we ended up with more computing power than we use, and why language is so important – before language evolved as the aforementioned software shortcut for our brain, much larger quantities of data would have had to be manipulated when thinking – instead of being able to think simply that ‘oh, it’s autumn, the fish are biting in the sea’ and going there, we would have had to invoke the full set of data of which ‘autumn’ is composed, and then mesh it with the full set of data that comprised the ideas of ‘fish’ and ‘sea’. This is nothing more than wild theorising on my behalf, needless to say, or even wilder theorising than I’ve come up with here so far because there’s not much I know about brain science – nonetheless, perhaps there’s something to this. It certainly seems to make sense to imagine, at any rate, if language did provide a computing shortcut using existing equipment, that we might suddenly get smarter very rapidly without noticeable biological change, and that this would land us with a lot of extra computing power.</p>\n<p>The last thing to add here, and perhaps the most significant addition to make, being that we might actually articulate a limit to which biological difference can exist between us – such biological difference would be acceptable, in evolutionary terms, to the point at which it started to contravene the success that the possession of our intelligence and the basic set of features that complemented it allows, or to the point where it started to affect the success of the giant replication factory we are, because beyond that it would be start to be acted on by natural selection. Which, as has been discussed here already, leaves considerable leeway for difference, or perhaps I should more properly say sufficient leeway for some ostensibly very distinctive differences to show – we can still be possessed of the different halves of the species’ reproductive mechanism, we can grow to difference sizes in response to changes in environment, and we can sport different hair, eye, nose, and skin types to even better adapt us to the environmental locales to which our part of the overall reproduction factory has been dispersed. The point here is, though, that these ‘ostensibly very distinctive features’ are actually only popping up in a tiny little window of opportunity – saying they can only exist to the aforementioned degree is the same as saying there is no biological difference between us that contravenes the homogeneous rulership of our consciousnesses. This, I know, is for a lot of people particularly hard to swallow – the tremendous pressure acting against this suggestion is that you’re kicking out one of the most important crutches people rely on in the, when you think of the wondrousness of what our collectively possessed intelligence actually makes us able, what we could only say are the rather miserable lives to which a society that complements the traditional views around human nature consigns them. </p>\n<p>So, like I say, to be a teacher you have to have an ontological and epistemological perspective, right? You have to have a grasp of the nature of our universe, and of what knowledge is and how it operates in human terms. Is this not, I mean, one of the most integral platforms from which your practice – course and material design, and methods of instruction and evaluation - will arise? If I’m correct in saying that it is, then it’s a great shame that the literature chosen as the key source material for my ESL education (Littlewood, who was once included as additional reading material – i.e. material most students never bother to read – being an exception), and that floats around the depths of the ESL world that I penetrate, was absolutely bereft of the ideas of people like Richardson, Stephen J. Gould, Howard Zinn, Jared Diamond, and all the other respected scholars who put forward ideas along the lines of the ones I’ve just sketched out here. I mean, when you consider how different conservative and progressive theories are, or think about it in the light of what the progressive theory actually is, do these things not deserve some very close and direct scrutiny? There’s also the dimension too, as I also started out here, that when the academy fails (and is it out of ignorance, or is it out of commercial imperative, or because the sites of information production have been ‘imperialised’?) to engage with the basest levels of theoretical reasoning, or to get students to consider them appropriately, it has really failed in what, in the West, has been supposed to for some time now be its mission – that is, to promote enlightenment. A wonderful opportunity has, in other words, been lost, because what is so important here to educational theory is also highly important in terms of any other theory (and at the end of the day in fact the shape of society) that invokes human nature.</p>','','2008-01-31 22:23:59',1,'2008-01-31 22:23:59','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(45,6,'Teaching the Chinese in Thailand','teaching-the-chinese-in-thailand','experiences of teaching an international program','I came back to Thailand from Korea because I far prefer working with Thai students, or because my experiences here were so much nicer. To my surprise,upon my arrival, the university announced it was launching an international program in which there were many students from the south of China. So I\'m in Thailand teaching Chinese students. Go figure!','<p>This month, I thought I would cut a quick outline of the Chinese situation here at my university. I can’t remember whether I mentioned this previously or not, and am too lazy to check back and find out (I can remember at least starting out mentioning this on a few occasions) – I came back to Thailand from Korea because I far prefer working with Thai students, or because my experiences here were so much nicer. To be confronted, upon my arrival, with the facts that at this university there is an international program in which there are many students from the south of China, and that I would predominantly be teaching them instead of Thais. I was pretty cool with this at first, because I really liked the Chinese academics at the last Rajabhat institute at which I worked, and because my Chinese students in Australia had always been quite nice – I can tell you though, that for everyone here, this international program has been quite an experience.</p>\n<p>There are quite a few parallels to be drawn between my Chinese and former Korean students (albeit, remember, that these things are far more serious on the former count, because my Chinese students are adult students and my Korean students were still at high school). To begin with, a noticeable number of them couldn’t care less about learning the things that are being taught in class, let alone making at least a pretense of living up to the, from mine and the Thai’s perspective, very serious obligations of the learning contract in which they are involved – I had to make it a ticket of entry into the classes to get them to bring their pens, notebooks and other learning materials to the class, and a ticket to stay there to get them not to sleep, and to actually do the activities. Furthermore, they are (or were, because I addressed this in similar fashion) completely unconcerned about, as well as ignoring the lesson, speaking to each other loudly in Chinese about anything except what’s related to their present responsibilities during classes – even worse, they were completely unashamed to do this while it was mine, the teacher’s, and the other students’ turn to speak. Lastly, and this is something that now sets them quite apart from the Koreans, who to their credit I never noticed doing any such thing to any untoward degree, they are chronic exam cheaters – it would be in no way unfair, and in fact would perhaps be somewhat of an understatement to say, that cheating is one general approach to taking exams that our Chinese students display.</p>\n<p>Nor is this, of course, entirely my experience, and this is what makes the situation even more interesting – I was a bit shy about complaining at first, because being critical of Asian people for very ignorant reasons seems to be part and parcel of a lot of Western people’s attitudes towards their role in Thailand’s education system, or because outright racism is after all an integral part of the West’s traditions, and has come to be expected of us. However, when I started to do a bit of grumbling, I realised that it was actually the case with my Thai colleagues that they were wondering if and when I was going to fall into a rage over the untenability of the situation the way they all had already. I instigated a meeting for everyone teaching on the international program so that we could get together and talk about it – I was keen to know what the official policy on dealing with this situation was, so that I could remove what had suddenly turned into this very unpleasant thorn in the side of my otherwise very enjoyable working life. What was uncovered at this meeting being that every last one of us, irrespective of subject that we taught or the nationality of the academic, was suffering from exactly the same problems, and was completely up in arms over them in all of the same ways (first time I’ve seen ‘jai yen yen’ altogether blown out the window). Official policy wise, there wasn’t really anything in place – the very lovely thing about teaching Thai students, you see (or at least this is what makes Thailand the gem of the ESL world for me thus far), is that you don’t have to spell out and enforce the sort of civilised behaviours you expect your students to engage in (or at least not beyond the degree that seems to be our human nature). And, because this international program is a new program, and because the Thai educational environment was the educational environment to which all the Thais were previously accustomed, there were no mechanisms in place to deal with this astounding eventuality. Yes, it would again be somewhat of an understatement to say that what we’d stumbled into was astounding – it was completely outside all of our experiences in universities to find such widespread cultural proclivities for aggressive non-participation and exam cheating.</p>\n<p>Now at this point, there are probably a few of you thinking ‘hmmm, but the Thais cheat in exams too’. And I must admit that I continue to, in the present, catch them now and then ‘helping’ each other in exams, or, as is usually the case, furtively peering (and it’s easy to pick here because the have a dark complexion and such wide eyes when they open them for copying) at each other’s exam papers. I think it should be emphasised here, however, that with the Chinese, it’s an altogether different kettle of fish – my Thai students are very shy about cheating, or at least look mortified when they are caught, I have never caught a one of them with forbidden materials in the exam room, and it is rarely necessary to outright fail them in their exams. With the Chinese, though, if you kindly try to stop them before they get themselves in trouble, they get angry at you as a group, as though you’re picking on them because they are Chinese, and not because they cheat – furthermore, if you remove one piece of paper on which they have written their ‘exam notes’, as was the case with the Dean of my department on one occasion, and tell them this is their last warning, they can pull out another, and then, even after you’ve done this twice, one more – they press you to the point, that is, where you are forced to take direct action against them. And then, they treat you like dirt when you do what you have to, and fail them. What would the rest of you reckon – readers, I mean – when I say that this is a particularly unpleasant predicament to be caught in? Or, that it would be far nicer if the students followed the rules themselves, rather than having to be at continual loggerheads with them?</p>\n<p>Maybe some of you are thinking too that Thais are non-participants, and I am willing to see it is the case that many of you might be the overseers of classrooms in which this is the norm – here again, though, I have to say how markedly more intense non-participation is with our Chinese students. Actually, with the exception of the usual ten percent of students we might expect to be a bit dodgy about their studies, non-participation with the Thais goes completely against my experience, and even the worst ones at least try to follow the academic conventions they’re obliged to – teaching across cultures, I am reminded again how one of the major benefits for me of working in Thailand is that the students are so polite, so genuinely altruistic, and so interested to learn. Obviously too I enjoy a major advantage with the Thais that I do no have with the Chinese – I speak their language. However, this is not a factor to bring into consideration too much in this situation, I believe, because I have had generally had so few Thai students in my classes, and because I am teaching subjects in English usually these days rather than ESL, I have very rarely spoken any Thai in the classroom. What I’m trying to articulate here, I mean, is that there is a one hundred percent certifiable gulf between the behaviours of Thai students and Chinese students in the tertiary setting, and that in my Australian eyes, which see the academic as the facilitator of knowledge and the students people with sufficient integrity to want their application to their studies evaluated fairly, this difference is for the worst.</p>\n<p>What you’re wondering by now, I guess, being what we have decided to do about the situation – this, basically, is how things have unfolded. We made a set of official rules for students in the international program to follow – it was eight basic principles designed to prevent all the problems I mentioned earlier. Our Dean also introduced a stricter code of punitive measures – these involved not just the loss of right to entry into the class for failing to meet the conditions that had been set, or the official endorsement of the removal of students who were unprepared to fulfil their end of the teaching and learning agreement; and, the immediate hard-hearted failure of any student who displayed even the most remotely suspicious of behaviours during exams; they also involved follow up action in the form of subsequent interviews with the movers and shakers of the international program (serious stuff). To introduce this new policy to my students, I carefully explained what the problem was, how we’d had a meeting, and how we’d arrived at this solution to our dilemmas – I went through the reasoning step-by-step, and addressed any concerns with it they had along the way. Then, to seal the deal, I made them sign a contract that said that they’d read and understood the rules, that they agreed with the rules in full, that they understood they didn’t have a single leg to stand on if they broke any of them, and that they deserved the penalty they would pay. Interestingly enough, during discussion, it turned out that many Chinese students were as unenamoured of their countrymate’s behaviours as the rest of us were, and were even more keen to see it stamped on the head – I observed keenly how there were some extremely diverse standards of ethics amongst the Chinese student population, and very interestedly how some of them were, in contrast to the trouble-makers, very ethically and intellectually outstanding.</p>\n<p>Brandishing the ‘rod of correction’ (can you believe that when I was a kid, we had these full on Christian people next door who got their kids to decorate a stick they used to beat them with, and call it that at the same time…), of course, wasn’t the only step I took either; it didn’t seem to be the root of the problem, but because my previous semester’s courses had, with my arrival here late in said semester, been hastily prepared, and because there was always the offchance that the Chinese were writing off so dramatically because they didn’t completely grasp what we were doing in the classroom, I spent a tremendous amount of effort to make my courses firstly as engaging as possible (I made multimedia supplements to all my lessons, and replaced anything that had been a bit arduous around with more compelling stuff), and secondly, as straightforward and easy to grasp and understand as possible. I made it very clear to them what I expected them to know, and the intellectual significance of everything they were learning, or why it appeared on the curriculum; I also made it very clear to students what they needed to know to be successful in the exam, I reviewed these things with them very helpfully, and I left them with the invitation, which many of the more ethically minded students took up on, to come and see me if there was anything I’d said they needed to know for the exam that they weren’t sure they’d properly taken on board or not. In short, I stuck to the recommendations of the research literature, in terms of making sure that any shoddiness or ‘stiffo’-ness in my behalf wasn’t lying at the root of the problem.</p>\n<p>Now all this seemed to be going very well – forcing them to bring learning materials to class, and to participate in learning, by threatening them with officially endorsed expulsion from the class, seemed in my opinion to be what mainly did the trick. Certainly, in other words, in terms of in-class behaviours, while I had to travel a tense route to get there, there was a dramatic improvement.</p>\n<p>And dearly, of course, I wanted this to carry over to the exam room, which was probably where the most concerning problems occurred – yesterday, too, was their opportunity to show me they could be civilised human beings, and just do things in the fair and honest way (the way, I’ll just repeat, they had agreed themselves was the best way to go about it – I’m not a nazi, I negotiated things with them). Unfortunately, though, while there was no talking, or while I had mostly succeeded on this count, I was in for disappointment; as the last students were leaving the exam room, this is what happened. One dude, as he was going, right in front of me as though I was some sort of idiot, chucked a little piece of paper to his mate – lo and behold, when I unravelled it, it was the answers to the test. This inspired me to look at a couple more remnants of paper lying around the place – incredibly, they too had secret notes written on them and, fortunately with little difficulty, because the answers were written in grammatically very unique ways, I was able to find one other student who had been breaking the rules. I got all of them in front of me, and tore their papers in half – ‘please Ajarn’, they begged, ‘just give us one more chance’, as if I hadn’t made it quite clear to them what the consequence of what they were doing would be. It was very upsetting, but I hardened my heart and failed them from the exam, my reasoning being that perhaps one or two examples had to be made as the final indication that we were serious about what was going on.</p>\n<p>I hope this solves the dilemma – I’ll keep you posted and let you know how things are going.

','<p>I mentioned here once previously the perils of immersing your treasured bodily parts in a Thai lagoon – one must beware the ‘bling’, a kind of fearsome aquatic leech. In addition, I have tousled with a giant ‘too-keh’, or house gecko, a monstrous green and purple beast that lived in a hole next to the doorhandle of a room in which I once lived – it would cantankerously burst forth every time I grabbed the doorhandle in the dark (and somehow, in the excitement of whatever had kept me up till the wee hours of the morning, and that had necessitated me sneaking in in the dark in the first place, I would always forget this was going to happen), and latch painfully onto my fingers. Nor am I a stranger to monkeys; in numerous locations around Thailand I have, in this order, dealt with hissing, imperious, and completely mannerless banana-grabbing fiends, as well as a close relative of theirs whose special characteristic it was to do the hop, skip and jump off a fence, leap onto a man’s chest, and then engage in a glaring tug of war with the actual rightful owner of the ka-noom that formed the rope in this equation.</p>\n<p>Beyond any measure of doubt, however, my worst experience of animal ambush was when I went fishing in this big swamp out in Isaarn. Or rather, it was a wonderful big lake in the hills, one end of which was swampy – this was the lee end of the reservoir, or the uphill part of the dam in the hills where the water gradually became shallow, and as the water and charcoal gatherers had rinsed this area clean of forest vegetation there had become exposed a large number of tiny hillocks, now islands, that in the dry season poked their heads above the water. Separating them was a veritable Everglades, or a labyrinth of knee-deep, weed-choked and, wherever shallowness permitted, grass-infested channels – in this morass of tropical biodiversity there were more blah chon (snakeheads) than I have ever seen, and the idea was you just waded from one islet to another, and dragged your plastic frog down the waterways in between. The blah chon were hiding in mere inches of water off the bank, eagerly awaiting one of the numerous frogs that cohabited their environment to make a move – as soon as something green and wiggling splashed down anywhere near them, they were pretty much straight onto it, and so as you might imagine I became very intent on what I was doing.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I’ve eagerly rushed over onto this one little island to chuck my lure down this row where I know I’m guaranteed to elicit a bit of interest straight off the bat – it was actually the remains of a charcoal furnace, and was thus almost perfectly dome-shaped on top, very much like a bald man’s head. It was nice and sandy too, as grass and what-not had been reluctant to grow back there after multiple firings of the clay from which the furnace had been constructed. In fact, it was completely unadorned, with the exception of one lonely, very miserable and rangy-looking twenty-centimetre thorn bush (the sort of thing you come back as in your next life when you are completely unfriendly to people in this one); in order to make a bee-line (quite literally as it turned out), to the most appealing place to plant my feet for my next throw, I headed straight across the middle of the island, just brushing the top of its single lonely floral occupant with the top of my foot as I did so.</p>\n<p>The next thing, as I’m fishing away, I hear a noise just like a helicopter – they have a helicopter where I come from back in Australia that searches everybody’s farm for marijuana plants, and I am very familiar with the noise a small one makes as it approaches closely. In fact, to say that I am familiar with the intrusiveness of this sound would be somewhat of an understatement – although from afar they make a kind of thudding, or chopping sound, when they get close all you hear really is a high-pitched whine, like a turbo-powered mosquito (if you could kind of imagine a deranged mosquito, off its head on Benzedrine, trapped next to your eardrum, you’d be getting close to what I’m talking about), and this is very disturbing. This is the first thing I thought about, at any rate - the helicopter back home – as this mechanical whirring sound increased rapidly in volume in my ears; I wasn’t left long to wonder what it was, because the next thing I knew it was like someone had delivered a massive electric shock to the side of my head. And then another to the back of my skull. And then another one to my nose. </p>\n<p>But at least I could see now what made this unsettling noise, and why such an unsettling noise was accompanied by such an unsettling level of physical sensation – buzzing around my head was a cloud of enormous wasps, whose island sanctuary I had obviously disturbed as I rustled the lone ‘palm’ in which they had taken refuge, and as they were enraged but in no way incapacitated by my affront they had swarmed out en masse to get revenge. Truth to tell, I’d never been bitten by a wasp before, the uncertainty about what would happen to me indubitably adding at this moment to my panic (I’d been well steeped in cartoons where the hornet’s nest is a frightful thing to encounter when I was a kid, to the point where fleeing and shrieking wildly was an action in which I almost instinctively engaged); fortunately, I had also read many accounts where the person or animal who had become the hornet’s victim escaped them by diving underwater (I had a bit of a story about a bear that did this when I was a kid, it sprang to my mind at that moment), and so instead of racing about madly flailing at my own head, I had the presence of mind to quickly jump into the water.</p>\n<p>This was, most surely, what saved my bacon, or what prevented me from ending up with a head like Wile E. Coyote’s on a bad day – that they would have continued to sting me ferociously until I left their ‘perimeter’ (if this would even have been possibly by fleeing where they could see me) was evidenced when, as I surfaced about twenty metres away ( a distance that, despite having been encumbered by having only one arm to swim – the other was clutching my fishing rod – I covered in record time), I came up for air only to find that the wasps had been following my passage underwater, and were waiting to descend on me again (vindictive little bastards). I had to grab a quick gulp of air, and I literally felt wasps landing on my face even as I did so, and then with no more than a couple of fresh bites (lucky me) once more submerse myself beneath the water. I swam as far as my bursting lungs could endure – most thankfully, when I came up this time, the wasps had lost track of where I went, and had retreated to their nest.</p>\n<p>I was subjected to twin indignities by this experience. Firstly, when I recovered from the initial shock of the bites and my headlong flight beneath the water, it gradually dawned on me that everyone else had stopped fishing and were, in lieu I’m sure of the puzzled expressions that must have been on their faces just moments previously, now grinning broadly. And yes, I wish someone had got me on video so I could check out the action myself. Secondly, I was left, for the remainder of the day, with ears and a nose that were so outrageously red and swollen that I’m sure, for my companions – especially as they made fun of it constantly – it was difficult to engage me in serious conversation; I was left looking like Alfred E. Neumann (from Mad magazine), with perhaps just a touch of the Elephant Man, as we’d imagine him to be had he spent all day on the beach drinking whiskey.</p>\n<p>I guess then, it’s back to keeping your eyes on the ground, isn’t it? Had I been a little more careful which particular fronds I had chosen to rustle – or, and this could perhaps be the motto of my life, had I been just a little less hasty in getting to where I wanted to go and doing what I wanted to do – I might have spotted the wasp metropolis before I blundered into it. Oh, it wasn’t too bad, though, not that I’d want it to happen again – I can now add ‘savage Thai wasp’ to the catalogue of misfortunes that, when it comes to it, you find yourself able to put up with.</p>\n<p>Blundered into any beasties?

You\'ll definitely find something you can use in this list of tried and trusted lesson-fillers.','<p>As I believe I have mentioned previously on this site, my wife is Korean, or a speaker of English as a second language herself. And so sometimes it is useful to ask her what, out of the spectrum of activities that might be used to introduce and develop a particular language skill, she found to be most helpful and engaging. Which I know would have some people – some very fashionable people – thinking ‘well, that’s a strategy of very limited use, different people have different learning preferences and styles’ – I guess, therefore, I need to make some sort of comment there before I proceed with what it is I really want to talk about this month.</p>\n<p>Because most of the world lives in societies where there are great inequalities in terms of the possession of wealth, and because to be a ‘have’ all too frequently necessitates the exploitation of one’s fellow human being, a fundamental part of such societies is that we believe people are born different in terms of their intelligence, or in terms of an imagined neurological template for behaviour – I’m not going to go too far into this here, but you try explaining it, and I mean really explaining it and not just tip-toeing through the daisies of surface thought and what everyone agrees upon, in a way that doesn’t shed an altogether unpleasant light on inequality and exploitation in any other way. So, because there is so much social convenience attached to this concept, it’s the official party line – people want to push it because it lends justification to the things they want to do, or they are fixated with the idea because the pushers have so saturated the infosphere with this concept. In addition, people from the TV generation (my generation) don’t really want to concentrate on anything too taxing in terms of brain power, and you have all those people in the world who are going to think what they want to think and do what they want to do without ever giving the slightest credence to any other option – altogether these things lend a lot (a heck of a lot) of added seriousness to the idea that teachers have to cater to individual’s ‘learning preferences’ (read in all too many cases ‘personal ideas about themselves and the world’).</p>\n<p>Obviously, though, if you know anything about ‘that little thing that not many people have heard about that happened a few hundred years ago called the scientific enlightenment’, and particularly if you’ve ever ‘bottom up’ processed the meaning of the theory of evolution, people are a lot more homogeneous (again, a heck of a lot more) than popular/dominant theory recognises – while I don’t discount learning style and preferences altogether in my pedagogy, I find at any rate that there’s a fair chance that an activity one person really likes is usually quite popular with most.</p>\n<p>That’s the serious shit out of the way anyway – the reason I bring up my wife again is that some time ago she reminded me about the all-time language activity that you can use, and that I’ve been thinking about lately because I’ve been using it with a couple of the classes I teach. Said all-time activity is one that, when it is properly orchestrated, I find really intrigues students of all types – if you haven’t added it to your repertoire, it’s such a versatile, useful and enjoyable activity I’d like to remind you here that you could. The game I’m talking about is Taboo – the essence of the game is that you give students something to describe, as well as a list of words (‘taboo’ words) they cannot say in the process, and that they have to do the best they can to get across to their classmates what it is they are talking about.</p>\n<p>Now it is tempting to say that the chief value of this game is that it teaches students and allows them to practice strategies by which to circumvent grey areas in their technical knowledge – with a little further introspection, though, we can see that here is a fun activity that does not just this, but quite a lot else besides. I’ll just quickly go through some of the things I’ve been using it for lately – once you’re used to the activity, you’ll intuit for yourself the enormous breadth of things to which it might be applied.</p>\n<p>I’ve been using the activity lately to teach the description of simple nouns with a lower intermediate group – here’s the procedure I’ve employed, and what it teaches them along the way. The first thing I do is give them a list of nouns we are going to stick to in the game – most of them will be nouns they have already learnt, because the learning objective is to practice the art of description rather than acquire this type of vocabulary, but there is the opportunity here for them to learn a few extra, and to clean up their pronunciation. I just read through the list with them in a bit of a drill to get them speaking what they see spelt in front of them correctly, and I then ask them which ones they don’t know so that I can explain them. Here is the opportunity to introduce them to the descriptive strategies they will be learning in the game, before you go directly translating anything on their noun list into their own language you can start saying how big, what colour, what shape etc. things are – the important thing here, remember, is that everybody knows all the nouns on their worksheet, or has an accurate understanding, so that they can all participate equally in the game. With the group I’ve been doing this with most recently I’ve just made a few lists of things like fruit, vegetables, common objects and animals – I find they are much more eager to engage with this particular part of the lesson if you use the fruits, vegetables and so forth in their immediate experience, rather than ones from other places of which they can have no conception of whatsoever.</p>\n<p>Then, I just stick what information we might give to describe the things on the list (colour, shape, size, mass, origin, use etc., don’t go too far overboard to begin with) on a PowerPoint slide, and point out that giving this information is the art of English description (and it does vary, Koreans for example would never describe much of what I’ve mentioned without talking firstly about the Korean people’s feelings and folklore in regards to the noun); subsequently, I show them, still on a presentation (for a reason I’ll get to in a sec) that for most of this stuff you either have to give a direct statement, or use a comparison, to deliver the appropriate understanding. So, they see a few slides that show ‘Colour – It is green, black, blue etc., It is the same colour as ______.’, ‘Aroma – It smells good, bad etc., It smells like ________.’, ‘Origin – It comes from _________., We can see it in _________.’ that show them the language structures they will be using in the game, and that allow them to become familiar with some of the words that make these descriptive strategies work (of course everyone has to know what ‘brown’ means before they can enjoy the game); you can just flick through these, or show them how they can deliver their descriptive information, and then on a final slide show them completely, and complete with a bit of modelling on your behalf, how to play the game. Because I don’t like rampant guessing, or want them to be considerate when it comes to thinking exactly what is it on their worksheet that their mates are describing, I make it a team activity – they can get a point if they guess correctly, but they must suffer some sort of exorbitant penalty if they blow it. At the same time, you can penalise them for speaking in their own language, for using their hands instead of words, for speaking the comparative structures incorrectly, and for doing any other stuff you discover is really non-conducive to the educational road along which you’re leading them. </p>\n<p>I chuck it all on a PowerPoint presentation, to get back to this, so that after I give them a card (on which there is a noun they are to describe, some forbidden lexicon, and a bit of a picture of the noun so they are confident about what it is they are explaining) they just don’t have to summons from thin air, or ruffle through sheets of paper to find, the strategies for communication I have just taught them – I get them out the front, and until they get in the swing of things I suggest a category of information for them to give, I go to the slide that explains how to do that, and they can look at that to help them. Put them at the front of the class, and the projector screen at the back, and they even have to look at their audience while they speak!</p>\n<p>In this case, in other words, this is what they are learning – they get a bit of pronunciation practice and learn a few extra fruits and veges and things, they learn how to make direct statements and comparisons about things correctly, and they learn how to use English to bridge an information gap in a context in which they are under considerable compulsion, generated by the nature of the activity in the personal sense, as well as by the expectant stares of their eager-to-score-a-few-points classmates, to speak. But you wouldn’t limit yourself there, like I said, you can venture into other word classes, more complex descriptive rhetoric, nouns that require categories of descriptive information beyond those I’ve mentioned, and so on.</p>\n<p>Have a lash in class, you probably do already, and if you would like to discuss it further I’m keen as always to hear from you</p>','','2007-10-31 23:59:52',1,'2007-10-31 23:59:52','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(48,6,'The burden of being fun','the-burden-of-being-fun','Why many ESL environments are so nightmarish','At its very worst, teaching is the kind of job you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.

And, you get to travel the world, and meet all sorts of interesting people and have all sorts of interesting experiences. At its worst, however, it is the kind of job you wouldn’t wish on your most hated enemy – when the students couldn’t care less about what you have to say, and even worse if they are determined to make fun of you, the ESL classroom can become a living hell. Which begs the question, for me, of why so many ESL environments are so nightmarish – sure, there’s definitely the element that many of the Western people managing them are only nominally teachers, or that they often lack experience and that, in terms of their professional practice, this shows (and of course, there are the ‘ring-ins’, or the people who lack any type of qualification even remotely relevant to the job, and/or who couldn’t care less about teaching other than it being a means to some other end). But, considering that when a class is interested to learn, or has an appropriate attitude towards learning, even the most poorly conceived of lesson plans can come off just fine, and that something meaningful can usually be salvaged for everyone, I think there’s a lot more to it than simply wetness about the ears. In other words, there are in my experience all too many occasions in the ESL world where the teacher’s practice is good enough for the job they’re doing, but where the students’ reaction to them is stultifying to say the least – I get the feeling that a major factor contributing to this situation might be something along the lines as follows.</p>\n<p>Basically, there are a lot of cases where you’re sold to the students as fun. ‘Yes’, the native conveners say, ‘learning English with your regular teachers requires you to concentrate, and by comparison to the things you might otherwise be doing demands rather a lot of effort – but we’ve got a native speaker now, there’s going to be no more grammar or language points, no more writing exercises you have to do, all that they will ask of you is that you go into their class, speak with them, and play a few fun and interesting games.’ By this means they seek to suffuse their occupation with a little bit of glamour to which the students might be attracted. And/or (depending on whether it is a public or private institution in question), they sell a few lessons to students whose interest levels might not otherwise be sufficient to make their worried mothers part with the money for the course.</p>\n<p>And to be frank, there is some truth to what they’re thinking; at last, with a native speaker, the students are presented with a context in which they can use English that gives what they’ve been learning a real purpose, or that lifts the words out of the limbo of being sounds you’re told people use somewhere to communicate their ideas into a dimension where the only real way you can get across is to use them (i.e. they shift from being mere gobbledy gook that supposedly represents something in your own language to become the only real means you can respond to someone, and to get them to respond to you, which lends them a new weight of seriousness). There’s the element too that, in some places, it’s exciting to have the Westerner enter the classroom – the rural Thais amongst whom I work are a classic example of that, it’s interesting for them to suddenly find one of the figures they’re more used to seeing represented in print or on screen suddenly become manifest, in a real and interactive form, in front of them. Unfortunately, however, when you sell the foreigner in this way, you’re invariably doing them rather a disservice; if the students don’t want to engage with language learning in an established fashion in the first place, or don’t want to put in an effort to try and learn something, to promote the entrance of the Western instructor into the learning environment in this way is purely an invitation to compound the problem. </p>\n<p>What I’m saying, in other words, is that if motivation, attitudes towards language learning and classroom management were issues before the arrival of the foreign instructor, to suggest that a foreign language is something students will acquire from merely being in the presence of and having the opportunity to say something to a foreign teacher, or to chuck all your hopes and expectations for improvement on their ‘foreign charisma’, is to toll their death knell – even given all the advantages of being a Westerner and native speaker of English in the classroom, it seems ridiculous to expect, particularly in an age where the novelty of Western-ness and the idea that teachers should be respected are wearing rather thin, that these attributes are sufficient to command the attention of the less than interested learners. And, that it is indeed possible to teach the English language in a way that is as cognitively effortless and un-disturbing as, say, a computer game, or sitting on the couch in front of the TV (which, unfortunately, is what a lot of students in the present day equate with the concept of fun, or think of as the comparable feeling they will get when they hear lessons with the foreign teacher being described as such). What I found in Korea, which is the last place I experienced a nightmarish teaching environment – and I would wager that any of you that have been plying this trade for any span of time would have reached the same conclusion – is that it is impossible to conduct any sort of meaningful activity or play any sort of speaking game without first reviewing the language that will be used in the activity, or without at the very least providing the students with the instructions on what to do, otherwise the activity will simply fall apart (because so many of your students, while the content of their current textbook might suggest otherwise, won’t have a clue in regards to the language the activities or games use, or, even if they know the words, won’t recognise them when spoken by the native speaker –furthermore, if they aren’t clear about how to do the game or activity, it will be a flop on every occasion). And if the students come into the classroom with the attitude that there is no way they have to do anything but relax and, at most, speak when spoken to, or that all the serious aspects of language learning have been left in their native teacher’s classroom, this is invariably what is going to happen. The swift follow-up to activities falling apart being that, if you’re teaching compulsory English, pre-adult learners, they monopolise on the situation with a quick reversion to their most unpleasant personas – your goose becomes, to put it simply, well and truly cooked.</p>\n<p>Now the solution is obvious. Students have to know, before they come into the foreign teacher’s classroom, that developing real communicative competence in the English language is a systematic process of examining and practicing various features of it. And, that while you have tried your best to make this process as engaging as possible, and to minimise this ‘disadvantage’, there can be no fun, and most definitely no results, without just a little hard work. Of course if you haven’t tried your best to learn the process, and if you haven’t tried to make the activities that engage the students with the various features of English fun and entertaining, you’ve really cooked your own goose – presuming that you are a good teacher, however, or that you read up on what you’re teaching, and on English teaching in general, accepting their responsibilities becomes the students’ obligation. Which is where what I’ve been saying all along becomes relevant – if the students have been disavowed of the notion that they have such responsibilities before you meet them, it’s very dubious as to whether you can ever really enjoy your job and stick at it, and as to whether doing it is really ever that fruitful for the learners either. The people who persist, in my observation, in the face of these dilemmas tend to do so firstly because they’re keen on the salary what they’re doing provides more so than whether their method of teaching has any really beneficial impact, and in view of these priorities tend to make getting what they want out of the situation as bearable as possible by distancing their professional practice from any of the things we might consider to have maximum effect when it comes to teaching and learning foreign languages. Hence of course, I would argue, when it comes to ESL continuums like Korea, and just about any cram school in general, the massive amounts of capital that are spent on English teaching that provides such minimal gain (i.e. we all know that they could do a lot better for their money).</p>\n<p>The responsibility for improving the situation, in other words, by this line of reasoning we could now say in so many miserable cases falls on the shoulders of the native administrators who are misrepresenting what English learning with a foreign instructor is really all about – if I step now into the realms of purely theoretical argument, however, or into a domain of purely hypothetical surmise, it would be pointless to imagine that said administrations are flippantly tossing us into hell, or that they are bungling things through purely oversight. The education systems in many countries that offer such unsavoury teaching environments to the unwitting ESL practitioner, that is to say, are faced with considerable difficulties, or in fact under extreme duress are betting such enormous amounts of money on the flimsy hope that bringing foreign instructors into the classroom is going to increase the students’ propensities to learn – for further evidence that it is indeed desperation, and not ignorance that drives them, look at all the other corny stuff a lot of countries waste their time on hoping that it is going to bring about real change. One of the classic examples that springs to mind here is something I heard about from a friend of mine, where there’s a particular school that gets their teachers to dress up like doctors, and where they consider the students to be ‘patients’ – tell me there that the learners don’t have serious metacognitive misconceptions of what learning is all about, if they think that this, and not some change of practice on their own behalf, is going to bring about an improvement in the amount of English they are going to take on board. Chuck in with this all the other stuff that I have talked about here previously, the clown shows, the puffs of smoke, the magicians and so on, and you get the real drift of what I mean – these are all the symptoms, boiling to the surface for our perusal, of a deep-rooted inability to learn effectively that, in the panic of dealing with how to negotiate it successfully, sparks such far fetched solutions.</p>\n<p>Hypothetically, I mean, I think I can see what’s going on here. In a lot of parts of Asia, the learners are passive learners, which doesn’t really lend it self to the teaching of English – particularly, that is, with the communicative methods that, when you understand them properly, really are in a lot of ways at the cutting edge of teaching methodology. But the solution to the problem is anathema to the social structure and function of the countries in which this passive learning dilemma exists – as soon as we get students to get seriously involved in learning, and to seriously think for themselves, they start to think in ways that threaten the fabric of tradition (tradition, it takes but little nous to see, that continues to be the dominant social influence in a lot of Asian societies). And of course, as in Western society, the lion’s share of most Asian social systems’ efforts are actually directed at preventing this, or as our critical traditions point out the majority of features of the prevailing social systems around the world are actually geared towards raising sheep and not people - to go against this would be to go against the main thrust of what near everything else in society is intended to achieve, and thus is not something we would be likely to see eventuate. So it’s a bit of a catch 22 situation – one of its unfortunate outcomes, from our perspective, or from the ESL teacher’s perspective, is that the problem gets passed along the line from social movers and shakers to native educators, who then, at the end of that line, fob it off onto us. Personally, although this is the escapist solution, I prefer to avoid situations in which I now know I will be the victim of this paradox – perhaps, however, there are those amongst you who can successfully subvert its causes.</p>\n<p>If there were, it would be nice to see you write a little bit about it – I guess my musings this month could be summed up in the statement that wow, if students were always keen to put in the minimum of effort to learn a bit of English, ours would universally be one of the best jobs around.</p>','','2007-10-01 00:08:11',1,'2007-10-01 00:08:11','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(49,6,'If miniskirts were shorter','if-miniskirts-were-shorter','Modes of dress among Thai female students','As skirts get shorter and blouses get tighter, I find myself siding with the Thai sticks-in-the-mud on this one. What are the reasons for this sudden prudishness? ','<p>This month I want to talk about the shortness of the skirts these days at university – indeed, about the young female students’ mode of dress in general. So let me begin, then, by describing what has recently brought this topic to my attention. My wife and I noticed that so short have the women’s skirts become that, in some cases, as the wearer is walking along underpants are, through the slit at the back that is presumably provided to make motion possible in the first place (the tightness of said apparel is also an issue)…so short have the miniskirts become that at each step underpants are clearly visible. There seems to be, furthermore, a shortage of adult-sized blouses in my town, and of buttons; in the case of blouses, they are so tight that it seems a miracle that the students can squeeze into them, and they certainly leave no contour of the body to the observer’s imagination. In the case of buttons, if we start from the bottom of the blouse heading upwards barely enough are provided to restrain the breasts from altogether - in the effort, no doubt, to escape the constrictions of the shirt - gaining their freedom. In short, while it is clearly the overabundance of girly mags and depictions of tarted-up movie-stars on the TV the girls are drawing on for inspiration, there’s one thing that is painfully apparent – in all truth, the girls are dressed up in a very fair resemblance of the way one sees women depicted in the hors d’oeuvres pages, or opening stages, of photo shoots in gentlemen’s magazines.</p>\n<p>Now I know that some of you happen to find this very titillating. And, in fact, consider it to be one of the perks of the job. I have to admit too that I find the view subconsciously very stimulating – like most of you (male readers), I have been encultured by my society to form, or to mentally internalise, a picture of females that, when these particular clues (the upper leg, a hint of breast, a bit of lacy garnishing) are apparent, activates the sexual machinery of the body. However, I find myself siding, albeit for perhaps somewhat different reasons, with the Thai sticks-in-the-mud on this one – I find myself fervently wishing that, when they are choosing what to wear at particularly university, the young women wouldn’t decorate themselves in ways that so closely parallel the ways males in our society have learned to be turned on.</p>\n<p>And what are the reasons for this prudishness? Well, they are, essentially, twofold. Firstly, the way they dress often makes me feel awkward in the classroom. As part of lecturing, or my public speaking practice, I alternate scanning the audience with putting the focus on individual students – so too, I often ask individuals questions to get them engaged, as well as provide personal assistance to students during activities (the latter frequently involves me crouching down next to their desk to explain things to them, or leaning over them to make corrections). And the way they are dressed in this respect throws somewhat of a spanner into the educational works – it is no longer viable for me to do any of these things without there being at least the possibility that my interest in students who are dressed provocatively exceeds the desire to teach. Furthermore, while I am happy to ignore the way they’re dressed, it taking an extremely overzealous imagination to pretend that they have chosen their appearance so that their middle-aged and slightly pot-bellied English teacher will get his rocks off, embarrassment is sometimes unavoidable – I have been mortified to discover that, when I ask the students in question questions or go over to help them, in the sights of my gaze or as I closely approach them they suddenly become acutely aware of their near nudity, and either put their hand over their cleavage or start pulling down their dresses. The problem here isn’t, I would stress, that I’m staring at their bare flesh, because frankly I have no interest in doing this whatsoever – the problem is that so revealingly are they dressed, any attention directed towards them whatsoever hints at the kind of attention they’re fearing.</p>\n<p>And it’s not even them letting me down in this way that I worry about, although I hardly like it – more concerningly, they’re letting themselves, and even the rest of the class, down as well. What do I mean by this? Well, while I try my best not to do this, because they do cause me embarrassment at times it is very difficult for me to stop myself from avoiding looking at or asking underdressed students questions during class, and it does make me feel just a little bit wary of approaching them – hence, they miss out on this valuable personal attention. Moreover, in respect to the classroom dynamic, because this reluctance to engage with them is an interruption to the way I would other wise teach, or because it does prevent me at least a little bit from employing the teaching practice I am prone to use, I find myself out of stride – with the loss of fluidity of my lessons, there is a slight but nonetheless quite sad diminishment in the quality of them as well. It takes more, I mean, to employ the slang of my home region in Australia, than a few young women ‘flanging out’ for the young blokes at the university to get Matt Smith all het up and anxious, or to take the emphasis off my work – nonetheless I find myself putting finger to keyboard this month at least partially on account of the fact that I do find the situation to be a little bit of a worry, and that all of these things add up.</p>\n<p>Following on from which, of course, there is the other reason I\'m what people would generally construe to be such a conservative on this issue – there’s nothing conservative about the nature of this gripe, however, it’s what the most progressive supporters of real feminism, or feminism that seeks true equality of the sexes, have been complaining about for decades. In essence, women are doing themselves a great disservice by dressing up like sex objects. Although to agree with this, you have to understand firstly the history of humanity – here, in the briefest of forms, is what lends validity to the statement. When people took up farming, and particularly in the types of environment where farming was naturally preferable in the first place – harsher, less biodiverse environments with higher mortality rates – women became valuable commodities; having a lot of children makes agriculture a heck of a lot easier, as well as ensures the future of your community, and of course women are the child-bearers. Once women were thus consigned to the insidiously droll fate of being breeders and domestic slaves, the two roles walking hand in hand with one another, or once the quality of their slavery became dependent on their personal attractiveness, they had a lot of incentive to make the most of a bad deal by dressing the way the whim of men desired; on the other hand, them being reduced to subservience at the hands of men, men had a lot of authority to enforce the female dress code as well. In the past, when men were more concerned with marrying a virgin, their sellers (their family) would increase their value by ensuring they looked the part, and it served them to aspire to dressing in this manner as well; in the present day, with men being considerably less concerned with the need for their sex toy to get about the place done up like a nun, and having less authority to force women to be like this anyway, the other aspect of what makes women desirable partners in the dominant paradigm, their jubbly bits, have come to the front of the fray. The point is, dressing up like either a nun or a harlot, or even just making yourself pretty in innocent pink for male delectation, doesn’t do jack about the way men are thinking about women, and thus the overall terrible way in which they are treated in society – as part of being a good teacher, I think it essential to take an interest in providing them with sufficient nous to get control of their human rights. Hence, as I said, the other great concern I have with the way they are sporting themselves about.</p>\n<p>Anyway, in conclusion here, there are a couple of things I’d like to get back to. The first is my wife – I bring her up again here because the discussion makes me think that yes, the problem is very deeply rooted – she’s a very educated and intelligent woman, and yet even with her I find that body image issues, all of which like I say can be traced back to this terrible need to dress up (in reality to forego a number of very important human liberties) in respect to the nature of men’s desires, plague away at her mind. And yes, of course she reads my articles, she takes a very close academic interest in this phenomenon herself. The other thing I want to get back to is the aforementioned ‘sticks-in-the-mud’, who go posting the anti-sexy dress billboards around the universities, and who might not even be sticks in the mud at all (like I say to protest can actually be an extremely socially progressive thing) – on what grounds exactly is it on which they are protesting? If they want women to dress up because it is ‘tradition’ – the same tradition that, in the not so distant past, saw women as trade commodities, and that emphasised the propriety of their dress code principally because it increased their value in the marital economy – then yes, they most certainly are sticks in the mud. On the other hand, if they are doing it for progressive reasons, then they hardly deserve at all to be described as such. I guess the only way I’m ever going to find out will be by looking into this further, or by talking to my Thai colleagues about it – it has me sufficiently curious, at any rate, to consider giving this a go.</p>\n<p>In parting, I guess I also better tell everyone from whence the title of the article originates – it’s from a little ditty taught to me by my dad, who I believe also happened to hear it from his dad as well. It goes like this.</p>\n<p>‘If miniskirts were shorter, said the fairy to the gnome, there’d be two more cheeks to powder and a lot more hair to comb.’ </p>\n<p>Obviously, it suits this article.</p>','','2007-09-01 00:21:15',1,'2007-09-01 00:21:15','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(50,6,'Did you plan it?','did-you-plan-it','Getting to grips with student compositions','To say that it is sometimes difficult to fix a student\'s written work is somewhat of an understatement; it would be truer to say that it is an excruciating process, one that is often impossible unless you have the author on hand to provide a bit of interpretation. ','<p>Lately I’ve been checking Master’s theses for my colleagues at the university. And never has it been more apparent that the greatest problem the Thais seem to have with their composition is their failure to logically organise their ideas. Indeed, it is often very difficult for me to fix up their writing because things are so extraordinarily haphazard I can’t get a basic grip on what it is they’re trying to say; working with my colleagues, however, I have invariably noticed of late that what they’re trying to get out on paper is usually actually quite reasonable, and that if you ask the right questions it seems that in their own minds at least they had everything in place. The problem obviously being, of course, that something goes wrong between the ideas their brain is cooking up and the way those ideas are coming out in writing.</p>\n<p>In fact, to say that it is difficult to fix their work up is somewhat of an understatement; it would be truer to say that it is an excruciating process, one that is often impossible unless you have the author on hand to provide a bit of interpretation. The way I have to go about it is like this; I have to do a bit of reverse engineering of the writing process they should have used to produce their composition, and by sifting through what they give me one by one identify what are decipherable points they’re trying to make, or statements that are obviously something they’re trying to say. These, I write down in point form, or on a linear diagram, like I say, of the type that should have been the precursor of their work. Then, I get them to translate the rest into similar sorts of direct statements that I can add to the plan. In this way, or with a bit of re-sequencing, it is usually possible to figure out what the correct juxtaposition of the things they’re trying to get out actually is, and thus what amongst what’s there actually fits and what should really be discarded. And, to make a simple restatement of what they had that, now that it’s in a set of discreetly partitioned, logically ordered and handle-able components, provides a digestible rendition of, because it is at the heart of it nothing but their own ideas I’m dealing with, whatever it was that they were initially trying to say.</p>\n<p>The point I’m trying to make is, their ideas are there, and because once decoded they do fit together logically the chances are that that’s the way they started out; furthermore, because discreet statements of them can be sifted out from their work, they are capable of making individual statements of the elements of what it is they’re trying to say. And, I believe, if they just did this before they started writing, or wrote down their ideas on a rough plan and, without worrying yet with what should go in between, gave them a rough order, it would first of all be a lot easier for them to get the basics of the more complex sentences they’re later going to make (because when I press my colleagues and students what it is they’re trying to say in parts, or if they just concentrate on single concepts, they can invariably render them fairly intelligibly); in addition, it would provide a clearer clue as to the sort of language they’re going to need to join them all together. I’m sure you’ve all done the sort of activity with your students where you give them a plan of ideas, or a set of statements, that together will make a paragraph, and give them a set of transition words and phrases that they can pick from to join them all together; they never seem to have any problem with this, and because they can, as I just said, also come up with the necessary statements of their own volition to compose such a plan there shouldn’t be any reason why they couldn’t come up with decent paragraphs themselves. Bit by bit they can come at; it seems to be trying to do it all at once that completely throws them off track.</p>\n<p>Which isn’t an original argument by any means; I don’t know about you, but my abilities to write were, to begin with, both explicitly and indirectly guided by the writing process. In other words, I was always made to go through the writing process as a kid at school, and, while I got it fairly much internalised while things stayed simple, again as my compositions became a lot more complex at university; when it comes to really complex things, I still find mapping my ideas out on paper before I begin writing to be an indispensable aid to getting things together smoothly. Also, I was taken through the logical processes that linear rhetoric reflects again and again in solving mathematics problems and in science class; this is what I mean by being indirectly conditioned to adopt a logical schematic for the unfolding of my ideas. To produce good English composition, that is to say, it’s fairly standard practice to teach people to plan and organise their ideas before they begin writing a rough draft, I’m not too sure you can do it automatically until you’ve had a bit of practice doing it externally on paper. Which reminds me of a couple of things I was reading not so long ago – firstly, I was reading where one of the scientists in that book Science At The Edge was saying very sensibly how it is very interesting the way the brain’s internal computations spill out on paper when it comes to doing stuff like long division and multiplication, or how writing and symbols become mechanical augments to our powers of calculation. This could certainly be said to be true, if you’re with what I’ve been saying here, of the plan of ideas you make before you begin writing. Secondly, I was reading how idiot savants have apparently devoted so much of their brain space to performing calculations that are normally so complex that we need to grapple with them on paper that cogs and wheels have been formed within the mind that that eventually allow them to dispense with these accoutrements, and thus perform what seem to be true miracles. In this case it would explain how a bit of practice of the writing process or the stuff that subtly parallels the writing process in other disciplines would leave you able to churn out compositions without their being apparent a need for ever having thought about a writing process in the first place. Or, more to the point, would, if you’re trying to churn out stuff but aren’t succeeding, suggest that such practice most certainly wouldn’t go astray.</p>\n<p>Which brings me to the main point I’m trying to make here, or what has gone through my mind much of late as I dismantle and rebuild my colleagues’ theses; if the Thais (and I shouldn’t pick on them because my Korean students were, and the Chinese students I also teach no on the international program here are, just as bad) were in the habit of planning before they wrote, or went through the writing process that what they’ve written allows us to in retrospect quite easily create, their stuff would be a heck of a lot better from the outset. Thus leading to the next question I’ve been onto of late – do you guys know anything about the writing process, and indeed, it being previously unfeasible for me to consider otherwise, are you in the habit of using it when you write stuff in your own language? What I’ve discovered is that no-one I’ve spoken to thus far has given an ‘aye’ to either of those inquiries; they’ve never practiced much writing at all, which is very different to the way the native-speaker’s abilities are cultivated, let alone studied the writing process, and they haven’t used it and don’t use it when they write stuff in their own language either. Which isn’t to say it hasn’t been a part of their education, I’m dubious about how much of what they’re taught a lot of people in my society can remember later either!</p>\n<p>Anyway, I’m an English teacher of the opinion that coming to terms with the writing process is an essential part of any composition course, or that providing a knowledge of and an ability to go through it is an essential prerogative of any English major; I think there are a lot of advantages for anyone to be gained from considering what it is about. And I’ve always found in teaching it that it allows one to confer a lot of necessary skills, like a better understanding of how punctuation works (important for people, like the Thais, whose language lacks any such mechanism) in dividing ideas into logical, process-able chunks, a better understanding of how to use the aforementioned transition words and phrases, and a better understanding of the relation ship of thesis statements to topic sentences, and topic sentences to the content of paragraphs, onto the students. So, in short, I’ve been getting right into it of late – I don’t think I have to look too far to find agreement that screwed up grammar setting forth a logical sequence of ideas is far preferable to screwed up grammar that convolutes something that is already inscrutable at the conceptual level. Like I say to my students, even if you have to resort to saying one idea in one sentence, or render what you come up with on your plan into a repetitive series of very simple statements, this is far preferable to going for the intellectual points with complex sentences that I can’t make head nor tail of because of the way the ideas in them have been so mysteriously strung together. Or so I reckon at any rate, you of course, as per usual, are welcome to your own opinion.</p>','','2007-08-01 00:33:34',1,'2007-08-01 00:33:34','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(51,6,'Agreeing with Alison Empey','agreeing-with-alison-empey','The downsides of teaching in Korea','What exactly is it that I don’t like about Korea, or that made me finally spit the dummy?

','<p>Gladly, I find myself back in Thailand, seated comfortably in a Rajabhat office chair, as I write this. Why gladly? Isn’t this, you ask, the bloke who but recently was telling everyone how excellent Korea is, and who was indeed offering a ‘heartfelt recommendation’ to all and sundry to ‘come and experience Korea’. And isn’t, for those of you who know your maths, nine months just a little shy of the twelve month term (sentence) that a public school contract in this country normally entails? Well, the first thing I would say is that most of the nice things I noticed about Korea remain, in my eyes, and indeed genuinely are, nice things. However, after a relationship with Korea that spans more than 12 years now, and that includes a lot of effort on my behalf to, through reading and interaction, get to know this country and its people, I have to say it is my most measured opinion that this is one place I don’t really like. If, in other words, I gave the impression that Korea was a really nice place to go and teach English, and that you will enjoy it as much as going to Thailand, I now feel a lot of remorse over being so hasty with such ill-considered advice – the truth is, if you’re anything like me, you probably aren’t going to enjoy it much at all.</p>\n<p>So why then, was I so eloquent in its praise? Why, I mean, was I so forthcoming with such a glowing representation of what going to Korea was all about? I think, while I know this doesn’t provide any real justification for the harm I might have wrought to some by recommending them to go there, it pertinent still to offer a wee bit of explanation. The reasons for this transgression were twofold. Firstly, I’d just finished working for a year apiece in Australia and Thailand, at wonderful jobs – jobs that, sadly, were marred by the presence of an overabundance of people who, through the pursuit of their own selfish and short-sighted agendas, just love to whinge about other countries. If I explain the type I’m referring to a little better, I’m talking about the kind of people who are as follows. They have a very poorly informed and self-centred agenda in life (and don’t those two things always walk hand in hand with one another?). However, they certainly don’t describe themselves as such; the reason everyone should accept, and indeed conform to, their drive to arrange the world and everyone else in it in the ways most suited to them is because their ideology is ‘best’. If you don’t want to conform to what they find it convenient for you to do, and – heaven forbid – if you should happen to notice them for what they really are, you’re the one with the problem, and they are very vocal in their grizzling about it. These people always whinge about Asians – as I’d copped a gutful of them by the time I went to Korea, I tended to be obsessive about looking on the brighter side of things, because I in no way wanted to be associated with their ilk.</p>\n<p>Also, my academic background is in humanities, and lies heavily in the fields of history and cultural studies; these disciplines inform you about exactly what’s wrong with being this type of person, or show the very irrefutable logic behind the discomfort that most normal human beings feel when subjected to this mentality. Moreover, they point to the very unsavoury purposes that ‘orientalism’, or the utilitarian misrepresentation of people from other cultures for the purposes of personal or hegemonic gain, has served throughout history; being schooled in these disciplines again leaves one inclined to, as Phil has referred to it on this site, try and avoid the temptation to ignore the glorious array of flowers above one’s head in favour of staring at the rubbish at one’s feet. Again, explaining why you made a mistake never lessens the severity of its impact; however, perhaps it sometimes makes forgiveness a little easier.</p>\n<p>And what exactly is it that I don’t like about Korea, or that made Matt finally spit the dummy? In as objective tone as I can muster, here’s the nature of my gripes. Firstly, I couldn’t ever enjoy my classes there; the main reason, and it’s made me really understand a lot of people who I thought previously might have simply been uninteresting teachers, is that Korean students – and this has been the case in every institution at which I have worked there, I just thought at first that it was my inexperience at ESL teaching that was the problem – the main reason is that Korean students all too often come to the class with absolutely no intention to make even the minimum of effort required to learn another language. (Or, for that matter, to engage in any such form of intellectual pursuit.) Instead, they expect you to ‘teach’ them in a way that will be as absorbing to them as whatever else it is they might be able to do if they didn’t have to attend your class – an impossible chore, because you’re competing with a lot of very relaxing activities. And, to make matters worse, if you don’t succeed at this, which by the very nature of the demand means a lot of the time they’re there, as well as moping about listlessly at the desk and, quite often, simply dropping their head on it to have a sleep, a lot of them take the opportunity to compensate themselves for the fun you have failed to provide them by actively taking the piss out of you!</p>\n<p>Which, if this was simply the mischievousness of the child and adolescent, or if this was an attitude that was simply a lack of learning motivation, would be containable in itself; I fear, however, judging by my complete failure to have ever formed any really human teacher-student relationships with most of my Korean classes (and before you start congratulating yourself on your own, please think about how many opportunities you’ve had to teach in other situations and compare), that there is far more than that afoot. And when you start wondering just what it is that’s up with them, of course you don’t have to look too far to see that there are a number of very likely things that fit the bill. Firstly, as I’ll provide more evidence of shortly, Korean society, despite its external dressing in the trappings of tolerance, remains enormously xenophobic; it’s very difficult not to imagine that the animosity that a lot of members of the public feel at large towards Western people isn’t present in their offspring, or doesn’t in many ways rub off onto them. Sure, they say they like Western people; however, if you become really familiar with Korean discourse, and if, like me, you take the big step of marrying a Korean woman, you’re soon going to come to real grips with the nature of the problem. Furthermore, as a quick glance at popular culture as we see it in films and TV will suffice to show, there is real status to be earned for male students – males, I must say, having almost exclusively been the recalcitrant students in my experience, I should have added earlier that when I’ve been fortunate enough to teach all girl classes they’re model students – there is real status to be earned for male students who, as a microcosm of Korean male culture in general, absolutely crave status, or anything that will show them to be ‘better’ than the other guys…there is real status to be earned by male students who flaunt the pre-eminent authority of, and who suffer unflinchingly the draconian punishments administered by Korean teachers. And, when they get this Western teacher out the front, who, by virtue of their own inhibitions and the direct dictate that discipline is to be the domain of Koreans only (but who in my experience rarely practice it to the degree that the creation of an effective learning environment requires) – when they get this ineffectual Western teacher out the front, here’s the opportunity to accrue such status without ever having to risk any of the disadvantages that its acquisition normally entails. Hence, the great temptation to be highly irritating and offensive.</p>\n<p>Also, I’d be very surprised if Korean students don’t harbour the expectation that Western English teachers are all fools; this is a natural representation of ‘the other’ in all cultures, let alone in any that the realities of European hegemony demand should focus on such a view as a salve for wounded pride (I’m not justifying colonial exploitation, I’m just saying if I was the victim of it I’d hardly be inclined to agree with the conqueror’s convictions that they were superior). In addition, the nature of Western-Korean ESL interaction has given many Koreans real reasons to uphold such a view; look, all I’m saying here is that the reality of the matter is that ESL teaching has traditionally been a missionary activity in South Korea, and that I remember from my own short-lived days in scripture classes at school (they didn’t last long into my generation in Australia for these reasons) and from the couple of times my mum, in the interests of my ‘moral betterment’ (we’ll get to her in a minute), sent me to Sunday school…I remember from these experiences that the sort of doughy, South Park school counselor, marching band, clown suit, overall patronising mode of education I was subjected to in these situations hardly left me with a respectful view of the teacher and of the lesson content they were pushing. Considering that, for want of a better term, the ‘evangelistic’ mode of teaching has somehow become the preferred norm in South Korea, it’s little wonder they think of us as idiots. Think of the teachers on those TV shows on educational TV in South Korea, with their silly voices, their Coke-bottle bottom glasses and bug eyes, their contrived, ridiculous and very condescending ways of speaking, and think of the slap-stick accompaniments that are provided for their shows (the whistles and horns, the puffs of smoke, the clashing symbols and spinning lights and so on) – given that, judging by the way these shows are so often parodied on comedy TV in Korea, there are quite a few of the believers themselves who can see through the charade, would it really be that much of a mystery if kids who are the product of an information age thought the dominant mode of ESL teaching in Korea plain silly? If I was them, I’d give those fools hell…</p>\n<p>It’s a bit hard to wonder too if it’s not the monolingual/monocultural view towards other languages that isn’t in part, or along with religious colonisation, responsible for what a lot of Koreans have obviously somehow come to think represents an effective way to have your kids engage in intellectual endeavour (or, to put it simply, that they have confused with an effective way to make them smart); to make good on the promise to bring up my mum, I ask you now to consider the way she, as a distinctly monolingual and monocultural Baby Boomer (born and bred in White Australia), has generally tended to treat my Asian friends. The only people in her experience with a less than complete grasp of the English language have always been children, and furthermore she is the sort of non-tertiary educated person who thinks that goo-ing at kids and making ludicrous facial expressions to emphasise the ‘point’ is best practice when it comes to cultivating their abilities; when she meets my Asian friends, she generally tends to mistake their cognitive abilities for those of a child, and adopt a similarly embarrassing strategy in trying to communicate with them. If, is all I’m saying, the older people in Korea who are indubitably at the reigns of how English language education in that country should proceed have similarly mistaken views about speakers of other languages, and about what represents effective teaching strategy…well, we have pause to consider that perhaps the role cast for Western ESL teachers in South Korea reflects very strongly this mentality.</p>\n<p>On top of which, outside the classroom, I didn’t have a particularly pleasant time overall in Korea either; I was prepared to overlook it at first, but the animosity towards Westerners I mentioned earlier – indeed, the whole box in the Korean weltenschaung into which one is stuffed – most definitely ended up wearing very thin. They were constantly just plain rude to me, especially the men, by any cultural standards; here’s a bit of a catalogue of my experiences. On numerous occasions, when I stopped to ask male Koreans directions to places, in their language, they simply turned their backs on me and pointedly ignored me; in one case, after I had the ‘hide’ to imagine that maybe they hadn’t heard me and repeated my request, I was abused. They always went out of their way, sometimes when I was fishing on riverbanks lined with Korean anglers, to angrily tell me to piss off when I was fishing in ‘no fishing’ (unsigned, but apparently so) zones – wouldn’t a simple explanation of the fact to someone who obviously wasn’t the best positioned to be in the know have sufficed? After I became paranoid about this, I stopped one time to ask some security guards at a turnstile whether the river adjacent to them was one in which fishing was permitted – one of them, with no provocation to such behaviour whatsoever, screamed angrily in my face that if he caught me fishing there, ever, he was going to punch me out and throw my gear in the river (if ever there was something that could make me hate Korean blokes, that was it). Constantly, on overhearing me speak English, Korean men would mimic my voice in mocking tones, particularly if it was my female colleagues or my wife with whom I was conversing – I mean, I knew after a bit that this would happen, so I kept my voice down, what gives there? Conversely, of course, I met a lot of people who were very kind to me – so frequent, however, were my unpleasant experiences, or so often did things like this occur, that I became after a while well and truly convinced that I was far better working in a more receptive place.</p>\n<p>There’s a whole bunch of other stuff I could add here too – how dismissive Koreans are when you make the effort to speak to them in their own language, how there is a lot of male showing off and dressing oneself up like a popinjay going on, how the women are enslaved to the point of their being a lot of disturbing body image-related and other psychological trauma evident, and how the streets are awash in vomit and spit – however, it all begins to sound, even to me, the author of this narrative, rather petty. Suffice to say that I’m off it, there are definitely greener fields elsewhere. The Koreans, of course, who made me feel unwelcome are indubitably as glad to see the last of me as I am of them; quite fortunately, I would say, the world at present remains large enough for both of us. My final word being that, to redress comments I made earlier, sure, if you have no specific qualifications and experience, Korea offers the highest salary; there’s definitely more to life than money, however, and if you’re after a gentle and civilized environment, I’d say you’d be doing well to find somewhere nicer than Thailand. I always do alright here at the end of the day; certainly, as my current situation demonstrates, Thailand offers a reliably lovely public education environment in which your teaching skills can flourish.</p>','','2007-07-01 00:42:56',1,'2007-07-01 00:42:56','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(52,6,'Phrasebook learning','phrasebook-learning','Is phrasebook learning letting Korean students down?','One of the true beauties of learning another language is the curiosity value of seeing how other peoples string together the concepts the words of their language embody to give meaning to the world in ways we never thought of.','<p>The interesting thing I discovered with the Koreans just recently is this. I have my students (who are high school students) making instructional videos at the moment that teach the sorts of ways they greet each other when they see each other during the day (they don’t have to be strictly different forms of hello, some of them are questions like the Thais ask one another such as ‘Where are you going?’ or ‘Have you eaten yet?’) – to help them write scripts for their videos, I asked them to fill out a translation worksheet where in one column they should write the words from their greeting one by one in their base Korean form, and where in the other column they should translate them into English. The idea is, they will then be able to say in their video that ‘this means this, that means that, and so altogether the words in the greeting you just heard us say add up to mean blah, blah blah’.</p>\n<p>The interesting thing being that it was very difficult to get them to do this – even after all the explanation in the world of the script and of the aims of the worksheet, and of how the latter helped in producing the former, they outright refused to write the Korean words one by one in the appropriate column, and translate them one by one into English. Yes, outright refused – what they did instead was write the phrases from their Korean greeting in the left hand column, and translate them as English phrases in the right hand column. Even the teachers were extremely reluctant to follow the instructions; they wholeheartedly endorsed the students’ view that the best way to fill in the worksheet was the way in which they were doing it.</p>\n<p>Which I thought posed an interesting dilemma – why couldn’t they see that in the videos, which were aimed at instructing their pen-pals at the school with which we engage in cultural exchange back in Australia, and who learn Korean at their school, a few of the authentic ways of singing out to one another that young people use in Korea…why couldn’t they see that it would be helpful in their videos if they indicated to the Australians what the individual words in the phrases were, and what their general meanings were, and then explained how we say it in English when they all come together? After all, one of the true beauties of learning another language is the curiosity value of seeing how other peoples string together the concepts the words of their language embody to give meaning to the world in ways we never thought of.</p>\n<p>Now I haven’t by any means figured this out altogether. But, this is what I’m thinking. Firstly, it is quite possible that the Koreans were so adamant to translate whole phrases on their worksheets because, when you translate the words of which their greetings are composed individually, through simple addition you don’t come up with the best English translation of what they really mean in combination. Usually, anyway, that much is pretty simple. But, if this was why they were sticking to their guns, there’s still a problem, isn’t there? They don’t realise that if you hear a phrase in a foreign language and its interpretation, you cannot distinguish which particular words in the interpretation mean which particular words in the original phrase - thus, it’s not a very good way of making an instructional video. They’re missing the point too that it’s very interesting, and greatly contributes to our understanding of the semantic breadth of a word, to figure out how its general meaning relates to its meaning in context. Or, how the particular combinations of things that words connote by themselves can come together in wondrous combinations, quite abstract from what the literal meanings would suggest, to represent ideas, and how a knowledge of this relationship fleshes out what we construe words to mean. Which has to be true – they have to be missing these things, I mean; otherwise they would understand the significance of the worksheet, or why it was asking them to do the activity it did. In other words, that the obvious way to teach a phrase to someone is to teach them the individual words of which it is constituted, what they mean in general, and what they mean when they come together in a specific instance.</p>\n<p>Unless, of course, the Koreans knew what some particular phrases meant in English because they had studied these, but were unsure about what the individual words in them meant because they hadn’t (hadn’t ever looked at them beyond their inclusion in these phrases, I mean, and hence could translate the phrase but not the individual words, through pure unfamiliarity with them); on the students’ behalf, I could believe this to be the case, but no, it doesn’t explain the attitude of the teachers, who for sure knew not just the meaning of the phrases but also the meaning of the individual words (under pressure they demonstrated this fact). Or unless they didn’t understand exactly what it was that they were doing in its entire context, or why I was asking them to fill out a translation sheet – there’s some evidence that this could be the case, because despite that we’ve been making these videos for six consecutive lessons there are still some students who couldn’t tell you what they’re doing (and I belabour the point every class, I guarantee, its not through lack of organising them). However, again this doesn’t explain the attitude of the teachers, who most certainly are in tune with the nature of the project. No, I believe there’s something else afoot here – this is what I reckon.</p>\n<p>Traditionally - and with the exception of the inclusion of foreign teachers like myself as a sort of token addition to their curriculum this has no less abated in the present - Koreans have studied English via the grammar translation method; what it means in this case, and I have observed them doing this day in day out, is that they memorise what endless phrases mean translated into their own language. So, their understanding of the English language, really, as opposed to being an understanding where they recognise words that have a semantic breadth that they understand that they, by searching from context for the appropriate aspect of this semantic breadth, slot together to produce meaning, is instead as a kind of pastiche of phrases. When reading a text, for example, I surmise they search for phrases that bear sufficient resemblance to phrases they have memorised, or the meaning of which they have memorised, and by adding these together – despite that there are inevitably gaps and incongruities they have to gloss over - come up with an idea of what the text is overall saying. Which, if you’ve memorised sufficient phrases, as my students’ test results indicate seems to, with familiar types of written material, work just fine; they have no problem generally in rendering the material in their tests, the questions they are asked about that material, and the multiple choice responses to those questions into something they can understand well enough to pass their exams, in many cases with a surprising level of accuracy.</p>\n<p>Which would explain, of course, their refusal to do my translation worksheet in the way that I had hoped; number one, given the vast amount of rote learning required to acquire their test passing abilities, it would be an automatic mental process to translate phrase for phrase. Number two, given the very secular monocultural, monolingual environment Korea is, they would never have thought of a second language outside of the ‘learn by phrase’ paradigm. My students would never have had, I mean to say in the latter case, reason to intuit for themselves the practical reasons why it is either helpful or interesting to have an intimate understanding of the building blocks of phrases, or to view phrases in this fashion.</p>\n<p>It would also explain too, of course, why my students can pass such complex tests, and yet can understand nary a word of spoken English (or at least why they are so easily thrown off the track). The amount of phrases one would have to memorise to employ the pastiche approach to comprehension when faced with the endless permutations of words that occur outside the rather narrow confines of their test material, or, if one was to say it isn’t perhaps that narrow and they’ve already consumed the necessary amount, the amount of time it would take the brain to process spoken language in the pastiche fashion and to compute a response, in both cases far exceeds the limits in which viable spoken communication is likely to occur. </p>\n<p>Which leads one, inevitably, to the question of why do they learn like this? Let’s say, for example, I turfed one of my students out of an airplane door in the backwoods of New Guinea (with a parachute, of course, otherwise the consequence would be too predictable for this story to continue). For them to learn to communicate, there’d have to be a lot of repetition of pointing at things and saying the prerequisite word, or a lot of actions or situations accompanied by the saying of the prerequisite word, for them to start building a vocabulary; as time went on they’d, through exposure to the full range of contexts in which a particular word applied, as well as experimenting with how it went together with other words, build a sense of the full semantic breadth/conventions of use of the utterances they were learning, and the ability to wield them in complex speech. In other words, with no interpreter present, the process would mimic the first language acquisition process; the only difference would be that they would have more advanced cognitive mechanisms than a child to put to work in figuring out the code. This, I would argue, seems like the natural way, and the most effective way, to learn a language; when we add an interpreter my opinion doesn’t change, provided we recognise that the value of that interpreter is that they can provide all the shortcuts to figuring out semantic breadth and conventions of usage without having to waste as much time on experimentation.</p>\n<p>But the learning by phrase routine isn’t doing this, is it? To give credit to the grammar translation method, technically speaking it’s aimed at providing the necessary shortcuts. In other words, by learning vocabulary and the rules of grammar, or the logic of the way words fit together that is generated by their meaning, as well as the conventions that govern their use, and furthermore by learning all of this in the context of examples, if we discount the role that interest value plays in such an approach (and the Koreans can obviously get over this), we should be learning English like champions. So wherein is the problem? Well, the problem obviously is, of course, that in practice there’s a divergence between the stipulations of the grammar translation method and the learning that is actually occurring. Or, a difference in the ideal form of grammar translation and the learning by phrase that is practiced in Korea, and that we’ve been discussing. To my way of thinking, the problem is too much, all at once, and not enough learning by doing; it takes time and a major effort at production, even with an interpreter to give you the shortcuts, to get a second language together, and the Koreans aren’t giving it enough of either.</p>\n<p>I wouldn’t go so far, though, as to blame either their notorious impatience, or any laziness on their behalf, for this particular state of affairs, although indubitably I’ve seen some cases where these things played a role; predominantly, it would seem that there are other factors at play. Mainly, they don’t get much of a chance to use English – when you add up all the time they spend in the classroom, which is the only place a lot of them get to communicate in English, you’re still well short of the many years it takes to develop fluency in a second language. In addition, they are short of second language experiences, as I mentioned earlier, to cultivate in them, and the way in which the grammar translation method has been implemented in Korea certainly hasn’t provided, a great deal – anything, in fact – in the way of meta-cognitive awareness of what the method sets forth to achieve. I reckon they simply haven’t thought about things, in other words, the way I introduced them here with the ‘chucking a Korean into New Guinea’ analogy, or don’t realise that interpretation and grammar rules are shortcut complements to the development of a holistic understanding of words and the way they operate in other languages, as opposed to the be-alls and end-alls of the learning process. Again, it is tempting to say that they don’t want to put in the effort to juggle words, according to the things they’ve learnt about them and the contexts in which they’ve seen them, in ways that will make them a genuine part of their repertoire (and you’ll excuse me seeming jaundiced in this respect, but you want to see the way my students, in the face of my best efforts to interest them, just zone out in the class); however, when you think about the exorbitant effort that most of them put into the extra difficult process of memorising enough phrases to use the pastiche method to pass their tests, such an argument doesn’t really cut much grass.</p>\n<p>Now the solution seems obvious, doesn’t it? You want to say, well, let’s use the English teaching methods that succeeded the grammar translation method, or that circumvented its shortcomings by encouraging the provision of actual opportunities to experiment with words according to the rules one’s learnt about them in meaningful contexts (rather than in purely inane drills or workbook exercises – they have their place, but there’s no information gap or spontaneous human interaction), and that thus provided considerably more interest value to keep students focused; let’s, in view of the time and effort required to learn a language properly, have more realistic goals for students, and more appropriate methods of evaluation. But therein lies the dilemma, doesn’t it (and for those of you who constantly criticise the Korean testing system, it’s not like they haven’t thought these things through carefully); you have to have a multiple choice questionnaire, because in a society that is as culturally prone to corruption as the one America shaped out of the Korean feudal system (come on, we all know that the fight for ‘democracy’ throughout the world has, on all the West’s behalf, all too often been a fight to prop up tottering imperialist systems as resource teats on which the West can easily suckle), as soon as you have any more qualitative testing system such as speaking or writing tests, justice goes out the window. And if you made the test easy enough that a proper method of learning a language would be able to produce students who could pass it, the unfortunate thing is that there is this learn by phrase approach that happens to ace such tests without necessarily producing students who are competent in the language, and that the test wouldn’t be testing anything because students would via this approach simply ‘cheat’ the system. I mean, in other words, that the quest for social justice, arguably the most important thing to take into consideration here, shapes the nature of the evaluation system, and that this in turn predicates the learning methodology.</p>\n<p>So like I say, it’s a dilemma I’m unable to figure my way around – what are you going to do, lead a revolution and right the global conditions in which corruption reigns supreme? It would be nice, but a bit beyond a humble teacher’s means. All I can think to offer is an emphasis on cultivating metacognitive awareness of what language is and how you learn it in English courses in Korea; it would still be more practical for students to use learning methods that maximise their test scores, but perhaps at least then they wouldn’t outright refuse to do exercises that are in keeping with the genuine learning of a language if now and again they did crop up, or perhaps the use of such exercises wouldn’t remain beyond their attention. </p>\n<p>In closing I should add here too that the audiolingual method must also be responsible for the learning by phrase mentality; I’ve been thinking about that along the way as a kind of subset of the grammar translation method, or as one of its direct offspring.</p>','','2007-06-01 01:43:15',1,'2007-06-01 01:43:15','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(53,6,'Amateur archaeology in isaarn','amateur-archaeology-in-isaarn','Playing \'Indiana Jones\' in deepest Isaan','For anyone that has ever thought it would be a thrill to stumble across a hidden treasure, and moreover the most valued possessions of an ancient civilisation, it pays to keep your eyes on the ground; you never know exactly when you’re going to stumble across something genuinely interesting.\n','<p>One of the most interesting things about living in Isaarn for me is the way one is so literally surrounded by history. I’ve always been a bit of an Indiana Jones at heart; around where I grew up on the Tweed River (not literally, of course, actually next to) in Australia there are more than forty different Aboriginal sites of cultural heritage importance, including burial grounds, midden mounds, stone tool quarries and bora rings, and it always fascinated me as a kid to imagine what stories these places told of the original Australians’ way of life. In Isaarn, of course, although I in no way mean this to denigrate the magnificence of North Coast NSW Aboriginal civilisation (one of the, because there has so much need for the post-European settlement Australian people to sweep the truth under the carpet, most misunderstood, misinterpreted and underrated civilisations that has existed on the face of the planet), along with similar such perhaps more inconspicuous evidence of human occupation (neglect and deliberate destruction on the behalf of post-European settlement peoples has played a huge role in making a palimpsest of the Aboriginal cultural landscape), one is confronted by the far more in your face constructions built by the Hindu-cum-Buddhist societies that, like moths in the summer, rode high upon the back of agriculture. I had the opportunity in particular to, as well as being an avid frequenter of your more renowned rock art sites and ruins in Isaarn, have a couple of very poignant ‘hands-on’ archaeological experiences last time I was there; it’s those that I would like to talk about this month.</p>\n<p>The first of these was when I drove the ute, in the dry season, down the huge expanse of ‘lawn’ (very beautiful) that surrounds Sirinton Reservoir in the dry season to go fishing; I was heading down one of those sandy tracks I have mentioned in a previous article when, just as I arrived at where I was going to park the car, I felt a strange bump. When I got out of the car I decided to, on whim, because it suddenly occurred to me that a bump was a rather strange thing on such a soft trail, check out what it was that I had broken, and took a look under the car; I saw, to my relief, that, as opposed to having crushed one of my fishing reels, the likes of which have not altogether been unknown to fall out of the back of the ute on occasion (paddock bashing is a very popular sport for Australians, myself being no exception, and the tracks around Isaarn always bring out the devil in me), I had simply driven over a rock. What occurred to me then, however, was that said rock was a very incongruous part of the surrounding landscape; the nearest outcropping was absolutely miles away, there wasn’t another pebble in sight, and the only way this particular chunk of basalt could have got there was via human transportation. Because, like I say, I am a bit of an Indiana Jones at heart, I grabbed it to have a look; to my delight I immediately recognised that what I’d driven over was in fact a Holocene axe. Or, rather, the slug of an axe; it had obviously been discarded because it was worn out - it was so well-used that the wood that had been wrapped around the top of it to make a handle had actually worn somewhat of a groove into the stone, and it looked from its extra blunt edge like someone had, as the blade became too short to conveniently sharpen to a point where it could effectively cut trees, used it for far more ignominious chores like perhaps pounding nuts or shellfish.</p>\n<p>The beauty of this experience was, for me, that like one writer whose article I read in National Geographic one time who, when in recreating an ancient stone tool he had found, felt a kinship with his distant tutor when he discovered that both of them succumbed to the same problems of manufacture and accidentally drilled the socket hole in the tool off-centre, suddenly the years between myself and the ancient artisan who had made and perhaps used this tool vanished; on that sunny afternoon, with nought but the sound of the wind in my ears and not a human being or dwelling in site, I found myself suddenly transported to that prehistoric era when what I held in my hand would have represented the epitome of Swiss Army sophistication, and felt the presence of the ancient creator of this artefact standing right beside me, or literally breathing down my neck.</p>\n<p>Not long after, moreover, I was witness to another fascinating discovery; this time, one of my students and landlady (same person, her name’s Kik – how her mum has, given the connotations of the word in recent times, tried to change that!) took me to a place where, out the back of Ubon, earthworks had been taking place in readiness for the construction of some sort of apartments or office building. Not far away, in some temple there, there was a very famous excavation conducted in the 1960s that revealed the kiln where funereal urns, for the containment of bronze-cum-iron age grave goods, was discovered, along with a number of the urns themselves; at this new site, perhaps about 800 metres distant, when the formerly impenetrable thorny bushes that had long convered the site were scraped away by the bulldozer, something rather more remarkable was revealed. The first thing you noticed upon arriving there was that the ground was paved with literally million of tiny little pieces of very intricately patterned pottery shards; down one end of the slight mound that these shards mosaiced, where the moist ground had made digging easy, the villagers were engaged in ‘robbing’ (bit subjective, as they may well have been the peoples descendants, as if not, the descendants were hardly around to care, and because the site was going to be destroyed by construction soon anyway) some rather fantastic graves. I saw them removing exquisite tiny glass bead and amber necklaces, beautiful cast bronze bangles, belts, torcs and ankle bracelets, as well as all sorts of other goods; these included numerous very large and intact, and very beautiful, urns, some huge bronze rings, like links in a chain, that were beautifuly engraved but which were for purposes that could only be guessed at (one villager suggested perhaps elephant harness), and a variety of assorted weaponry. The latter, for the more militaristically minded, and quite obviously these people’s ‘civilisation’ had achieved the point where they were at each other’s throats (Ban Chiang artefacts were predominantly manufactured for more peaceful purposes), included swords, daggers, spear and arrow heads and some sort of mace; all of these were wonderfully made, like modern machined tools, and were absolutely beautifully preserved.</p>\n<p>For anyone that has ever thought it would be a thrill to stumble across a hidden treasure, and moreover the most valued possessions of an ancient civilisation, this was definitely the moment; the only shame was that all the goods were being removed willy nilly, with absolutely no regard for what such a site might tell us about our ancestors if properly excavated, by profiteers, and that even when I informed a few different branches of the local authorities I don’t think anything was done about it. How often has this occurred, one wonders, in the process of uncovering our history? Anyway, for me it was an absolutely fascinating experience; it’s something that, along with one time when I was at Hua Hin I saw an aeroplane explode and plunge into the water, there is such a rarity of it happening in an ordinary person’s life that I will remember it forever.</p>\n<p>The moral of the tale being this month, I reckon, that, as well as dramatically increaing your chances of finding a lost twenty baht to fuel Pornchai’s motorcycle* (not to mention dramatically reducing your chance of falling through one of those many holes in the footpath that abound in Isaarn, and that lead to depths unknown), it pays to keep your eyes on the ground at times as you make your way around; you never know exactly when you’re going to stumble across something genuinely interesting.</p>\n<p>Did you ever actually ever see anything like this?

In my time teaching, one thing I have been short of is the opportunity to see other teachers teach. And you can always learn from other teachers.','<p>As you’d know by now from reading my articles, I’m not in Thailand at all at present, but am in fact teaching at a public high school in South Korea. Which isn’t too bad at all; admittedly, teaching 40 adolescents at a time, 20% of whom, when I surveyed them, said they didn’t want to be at school at all, let alone in a conversational English class, isn’t perhaps the easiest job one can select from the buffet, but it has its compensations. Firstly, as in the public education system back in Australia (the way I experienced it, anyway), most of my colleagues and the school’s administration are thoughtful, well-educated individuals, who veer well away from the purely economic towards the more humanistic side of things, and who care in legitimate ways about their students’ and societies’ welfare – they all seem, to put it more simply, fairly cool to me. There’s been no expense spared in terms of the equipment purchased by which to deliver English education at my school – I work in a special ‘English Zone’ which has desks for group seating, a computer workstation sequestered within each desk, a touch screen whiteboard, a digital projector, and in fact every item of electronic trickery one might imagine, and quite a few besides. And the students are (as long as one isn’t making the ‘imposition’ of asking them to expend too great a mental effort in learning the English language) reliably lovely – while the occasional admonition as to what constitutes acceptable social practice in any society (for example, greeting someone in a friendly and casual tone of voice, as opposed to screaming ‘hello’ at one’s maximum volume in my face and then turning around to laugh at one’s mates) is necessary, my overwhelming experience is that I am treated with courtesy and respect, and have been received with genuinely welcoming arms, by the student population. How could I not find, in fact, the way the students all smile and wave to me every morning, and indeed open the windows of their classrooms to do so – especially in a society where such effusive displays of kinship with one’s fellow human beings are such an absolute rarity – particularly endearing?</p>\n<p>Indeed, while South Korea has, in ELT discourse, been painted particularly black, and while, as numerous examples of this within my own society demonstrate, the perpetuation of old world social hierarchies isn’t something that can be achieved without retaining something of the unpleasantness of the days of kings and slaves, genuine vexations are something that can be counted on the fingers of a single hand. It worried me a bit how, despite there being no mention of this on my contract and with no other explanation given whatsoever, the government removed more than a thousand dollars from my pay over a couple of months as a deposit against me doing a runner on my contract. I was a bit bummed out how, instead of being an Assistant Language Teacher (also as per the conditions of my contract), it turned out that as well as working the high number of contract hours of an ALT I was in fact responsible for the development, with the provision of no resources whatsoever, of the syllabus for all my conversation classes – doing the research necessary to pinpoint what’s necessary and successful in a new environment, as well as just putting the effort in to create a well conceived, thoroughly organised and effective syllabus in general, is very time-consuming, and the plain fact of the matter is that this particular project has been my companion into the late hours of the night on numerous occasions (which doesn’t even count the hours necessary for materials preparation). And I found the initial attitude of the students towards conversation classes, that, as Ted Powers puts it (he calls it the ‘joke atmosphere attitude’), English ‘is an effortless game one needs only to observe’, fairly non-conducive towards learning – I’m not, I like to think, a stick in the mud, but I like my students to harbour at least some expectation that when they come to my class there might be a need for a pen and notebook to write down something interesting, and that they’re actually going to have to practice and use whatever conversational language it is we happen to be examining (that this atmosphere is present is something else I established via survey, it’s not just my ‘jaundiced view’ of the matter). </p>\n<p>Even these things, furthermore, have been by no means problems to which I am unable to reconcile myself; I get my money back at the end of the contract, and fair enough a lot of people do do the runner, so the unauthorised extractions from my pay don’t make me lose too much sleep at nights. I chose to be a high school teacher this time around because it was a domain of ELT in which I had no hands on experience; being so immersed in this particular aspect of ELT is certainly providing me with the insight I crave. And I am, after all, supposed to be a teacher, so teaching the students the perception of language learning that is going to allow them to derive maximum utility from their lessons isn’t really superficial to the job. Moreover, when I take into consideration all the other tremendous experiences my life in Korea offers – the new physical and cultural environments to experience, the new language to learn, the many lovely people I meet, the generally fantastic way in which I get looked after, the fantastic food, the fish I catch (just to name a few) – it would be particularly unfair of me, I think, to fall short of providing a heartfelt recommendation to anyone to come and experience this country.</p>\n<p>There is one thing, however, to which I find it difficult to reconcile myself, and it is that which I wish to talk about this month. Part of my duties at the school, or part of my contract conditions, including the following provisions; twice a year, I have to put on a demonstration lesson for my colleagues and peers in other schools (showcase what I’m up to with my students), and on more than a few occasions I have to travel to said other schools to see said peers putting on theirs. Which, in principle, is something to which I am not averse whatsoever; it’s the way it works out in practice I find a little bit disturbing.</p>\n<p>Let me begin then, with why I like the principle of putting on a demonstration lesson. In my time teaching, one thing I have been short of is the opportunity to see other teachers teach; watching other teachers teach, moreover, in the same circumstances that I myself have to negotiate, I find especially compelling – this, on account of the fact that I rationalise things as follows. Every teacher must have at least one good idea. Therefore, by simply watching ten other teachers teach, I acquire at least ten good ideas that I myself can utilise. Other people come to the job with different knowledges to my own; having unfurled, therefore, from a different platform to my own, their inventiveness, or the way they meet their circumstances, must usually include something that, for me, there would have been no spur to think of on my own. In addition, I get moral support, or feel less despair about things, when I see we are all confronted by the same dilemmas (thank heavens, I feel, it’s not just me being hopeless, this is something that everybody is coping with); at demonstration lessons, I also get to meet other teachers working in the ALT programme (not just wheregooks, but Korean teachers too), or to form professional relations. Indeed, the other wheregook teachers with whom I liaise here in Korea, and with whom I’ve become friends, were all met at these performances.</p>\n<p>That’s just my take on the matter too; I’ve been conducting research into demonstration lessons, and to these advantages the Korean scholars and bureaucrats from the Board of Education add the following. Demonstration lessons facilitate the osmosis of Western methods of EFL education into the Korean sphere – personally, I find the Korean teachers to be far more au fait with contemporary theory than any of my generally minimally educated peers (surprisingly so, try talking to the Koreans about theory), but there you have it (that, furthermore, from the head of the International Relations Department of my province in Korea). This osmosis operates between wheregooks as well; it is a well-conceived plan for the professional development of everyone, or neatly diminishes the risk that perhaps wheregooks don’t have as much to offer as everyone might be expecting, to provide this type of channel for ideas. Here’s the opportunity too for the Board of Education to conduct research into the effectiveness of the programme into which they’re investing such serious money from the taxpayer – we might presume that, as well as giving them something to crow about, on the other side of the coin there is the opportunity for quality control (something, surely, that the many Korean people who think the money could be better spent in other ways would surely be demanding). All told, in other words – and there are research papers in the Western world, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, that loudly applaud this policy – what we’re dealing with in demonstrations lessons is, at least, as I said, in principle, a fairly sound idea.</p>\n<p>So what’s the dilemma? Well, this is what worries me. Basically, there are two ways in which you might go about putting on one of these demonstrations, or two approaches that people generally take. The first is the ‘authentic experience’ approach; in this instance, one develops a lesson along the lines of the lessons one usually organises for one’s students, or just schedules a regular part of the schedule to be showcased on that day, and puts this on for the assembled peers and dignitaries (I forgot to mention, as well as one’s peers and colleagues, of course observers from the Board of Education come to monitor as well). On the other hand, there is the ‘rehearsed performance’ approach; in this case, rather than being spontaneously conducted for the students, the class that will be put on show goes through their lesson before the day, and then, on the day, does everything on cue. The advantages of the former approach, for me, in terms of why I like to go and observe these demonstration lessons, and in terms of the research conducted by the Board of Education, far outweigh the advantages of the latter; amongst them, I would list the following. Firstly, I want to see how the lesson that has been contrived works in real practice; if I’m going to learn methodology that I myself can apply, how do I know the success of a lesson has actually been achieved by methodology, and not simply had its bugs removed via the process of rehearsal? Secondly, I am gratified, as I said earlier, to see teachers confronted by the same real life problems that I myself experience; it’s perhaps trivial, but rehearsed performances are denying me this crutch (and all of us, I would say, one of the mainstays of our solidarity). Finally, what on earth is the use of conducting research on a rehearsed performance; sure, you can test whether teachers know enough theory to be able to stage a model lesson, but what does it tell you about the effectiveness of the ALT programme in practice? Perhaps I should articulate what it tells us, lest there be any doubt about the matter; it tells us jack, that’s what! One of the greatest ironies being, perhaps, that the rehearsed performances I’ve seen invariably include a lengthy treatise on the theoretical validity of the lesson plan on offer; this emphasis on theoretical validity, as we might rest assured will be the case if we subject what I’m talking about here to scrutiny in the academic forum, completely goes out the window when it comes to the purposes that decent recent is intended to achieve.</p>\n<p>Still, we might at least try to see things the other way, and consider the advantages of a rehearsed performance. Firstly, it’s kind to teachers in terms of performance evaluation; you’re not going to find your job on the line through a bout of simple stage fright, or on account of a bad day with your students, if it is acceptable to rehearse your lesson beforehand – I can go with that. Furthermore, in a society where social status, or not diminishing your projected status through any lack of personal preparation, is paramount, rehearsing prevents you being subject to the ‘indignity’ (in inverted commas because it is of culturally subjective importance) of losing any face. In addition to these two major advantages, as I heard a Korean proponent of the rehearsed performance approach put it (at out teacher’s conference a couple of months ago), the rehearsed performance approach still necessitates that teachers ‘go through the process of creating a model lesson’, or in that it forces everyone to gain firsthand experience in how to do it, as well as showcases (for the purposes of osmosis) what a model lesson could be – fair enough, you won’t find anyone disputing that. In other words, in all truth we can come up with a bit of justification for why a rehearsed performance approach might be preferred.</p>\n<p>And is it preferred? Well, I’ve been researching that too. Let’s begin with the Korean teachers at my school. In private, many of them hold the rehearsers in contempt – as for why that might be, along with the reasons already offered, we can get to that in a second. Some of them think that the concept of saving face is highly important – they don’t really feel that their jobs are ever in jeopardy, per se, but on these cultural grounds they think it’s important that the rehearsed performance approach be admissible. Amongst wheregooks, I’ve heard it fairly unanimously said that rehearsed performances are an outrage; the stress involved in making sure that the performance conforms perfectly to the expectations of (preserves perfectly the face of) the Korean teacher who will co-teach the class (who, ironically enough, rather than simply saying this is what we’ll do and allowing the wheregook teacher the provision of mutely following instructions, instead usually asks the wheregook teacher to prepare a lesson which they then ‘modify’…), let alone the loss of the genuine advantages that the authentic experience approach offers, judging by the views I heard aired at the aforementioned teachers conference and around the traps leave wheregooks not at all well disposed towards the adoption of this strategy. In terms of the Board of Education, it would appear there is no official set of guidelines; I contacted them on numerous occasions in regards to this, and ended up with zip. Although, anecdotally speaking, there appears to be genuine conflict of opinion; at one demonstration lesson I went to, I was explicitly told by the representative from the Board of Education, when I raised concerns that I had missed out in terms of methodology by watching a demonstration lesson that had been overly staged, that ‘a demonstration lesson is a demonstration lesson’ – that is, that it should be a show, and that there was no expectation whatsoever by the researchers from the Board that they would be seeing anything but a show. Whereas on the other hand, the head of the Department of International Cooperation in my province speaks so logically and sensibly of the aims and aspirations of demonstration lessons whenever I see him orate (and seems to be such a sensible bloke in general) that, while he has declined to directly comment on this, I get the distinct impression that he too holds rehearsed performances in disdain.</p>\n<p>Now, before we make up our minds on this, there is something else I should perhaps toss into this morass – the reader might be imagining that a rehearsed performance is simply the same as the authentic experience I described earlier, albeit that the lesson has been practiced with the class beforehand. Which, at the very least, it can be, and which isn’t really too bad. There’s a bit more to it than that, though; rehearsers have usually, in my experience, taken the following tack. Firstly, they make a special lesson, which we can only presume from the time spent on its preparation in no way accurately reflects the run of the mill lesson they’re preparing for their students; this involved, in one case, a twelve page inclusion at the beginning of the lesson plan that, in very dubious grammatical fashion, theoretically justified the rather obvious and for some time now much belaboured point that EFL teaching should include some explanation of the cultural context in which communication occurs (the lesson was a simple lower intermediate lesson about such things as the fact that Koreans take their shoes off when they enter the house, while Westerners sometimes do not – talk about superfluous!). Then, they hand pick the students who will perform in the lesson – what we get to see, as observers, is not a genuine sample of the students we typically get to face, but in fact the best English speakers at the school. Finally, the regular teaching schedule is, for weeks beforehand, thrown to one side – instead, the demonstration lesson is practiced again and again until it meets the standards of a Hollywood production. Furthermore, it has not often been, with these rehearsed performances, that the observer in fact gets to see actual instructional methods being utilised (after all, for me the central focus of the activity); instead, we just get to see the students showing off the English they have learnt. We get to see, in other words, students speaking perfect complex English – the inference we are left to draw is that the teaching methodologies employed were, without mention of whether or not they fell within the realms of what is realistically possible according to the constraints of time and effort, similarly perfect!</p>\n<p>Now, let’s just go back to the arguments for the rehearsed performance approach. Firstly, it’s kinder to teachers in terms of performance evaluation – could this not be achieved, however, by having the observers of the mindset that, realistically speaking, not everything works out perfectly, or that the best laid plans of mice and men, through no fault of the teacher, sometimes come unstuck? Even were the students non-responsive on the day, do the observers lack the nous to distinguish for themselves between what lies at fault in the lesson plan, and what can be put down to either the observer’s paradox or the weather? A good lesson, I feel, will always be a good lesson, and even in the most adverse of natural circumstances should continue to appear so. Then, there’s the saving of face – while it would be a bit obtuse to say that someone else’s culture isn’t important, the question we should be asking ourselves is whether, in the face of a lot of agreement with this point from the Koreans themselves, the advantages of an activity designed to maximise the benefits of public education for the young people of a nation should be compromised because someone wants to make sure they look good? The other point was that the rehearsed performance takes teachers through the process of producing a model lesson, and makes sure that a model lesson is on show – taking into consideration the fact that we’ve all presumably read the same ESL textbooks and thus know full well what a model lesson is, and would much prefer to see how they have to be adapted to cope with authentic situations, this isn’t really an argument against the authentic experience approach anyway; the authentic experience approach offers both these advantages and more.</p>\n<p>Leaving one, all told, suspicious that the real impetus behind rehearsed performances is not a logical impetus, but indeed one with a far more sinister and unacceptable nature. I can’t help wondering, in fact, if the genuine advantages of the rehearsed performance approach, as they were explained earlier, aren’t superseded in the case of many rehearsers by the taking of the opportunity to indulge in a bit of narcissism – to show off, as it were, to everybody in one’s captive audience what an absolute champion one really is. And, whether the approval for this approach isn’t evidence of the fact that being the Jones (as in the Jones who everybody is trying to keep up with) doesn’t altogether remained un-frowned upon in Korean society. To imagine that this was predominantly the case, of course, would be to overlook the contempt that it seems the majority of ordinary Koreans feel for this mentality; to say that this mentality, even were it upheld by a purely a minority, couldn’t dominate a capitalist democracy would be to overlook the lessons of my own. At any rate, with this suspicion niggling at the back of my mind, imagine my feeling when, at our teacher’s conference, it was the lesson that was the most deplorable of staged performances (the one with the previously mentioned theoretical overkill) I’ve seen yet that was put on as the ideal towards which it is expected we aspire – this, despite that the very wheregook who was involved in its production wrote a letter stating that that his feelings of empty falseness about the whole deal were a principal reason why he, the showcased talent, would for his next term of employment be moving out of the public sector!</p>\n<p>The thing is, anyway, that it makes little sense for there to be no official policy either way – if both the authentic experience and the rehearsed performance approaches are deemed acceptable, who would take the risk of not meeting the more overt expectations of the Board of Education and putting on a demonstration of more tangible benefit? There is little incentive, in other words, despite the overwhelmingly strong arguments in favour of an authentic experience approach, to make this attempt. Might as well just state officially that rehearsed performances are the go – the problem being, of course, that, as the studious avoidance of any statement that the rehearsed performance staged at the teachers conference was indeed of this type, there would appear to be a bit of discomfort intrinsic to this admission. Like I say though, trying to have things both ways isn’t doing any good, because there’s really only incentive to do things one way – my school and I, because we’re all in agreement that the ethics of teaching drive us to do things in a rational way (or at least the way we rationalise things), will probably soldier with the authentic experience approach, but there’s no doubt that do so leaves a little bit of a sour taste in our mouths. Ideally, because this is probably one of those situations also spoken of at our conference where the problems inherent to a good idea haven’t been thoroughly worked in practice, it would be good to see more honest dialogue about this situation in the Korean educational forum, and see the movers and shakers of the system come to some sort of an informed decision.</p>\n<p>What do you reckon about demonstration lessons? I’d love to know.</p>\n<p>PS: You may well be wondering from where the title of this article originates. It’s simply because, when I was talking about this article with the teacher from the school next to mine, he laughed and said ‘yeah, sure, everyone is thinking along these lines – but, there’s no doubt they prefer the dog and pony show’. Which I found to be both amusing, as well as particularly appropriate. Another interesting addition to make here that stemmed from similar such discussion, this time with one of my Korean teacher friends, is that she told me that a lot of the people with this explicit preference know full well that, under close scrutiny, they haven’t got a leg to stand on. But, that they don’t have to suffer the penance of any guilt in the matter, because it is such widespread, or culturally endorsed behaviour (reminds me of the belief in creationism in my own society). She in fact compared it to the practice, which she said is similarly widespread, of plagiarising your university essay in Korea; she said everyone knows it’s wrong, but that it’s OK because everybody does it. </p>\n<p>It certainly is, I think, an interesting old world in which we live.</p>','','2007-04-01 02:10:43',1,'2007-04-01 02:10:43','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(55,6,'Levisiting the plobrems','levisiting-the-plobrems','Problems with pronuncing R and L','Perfect pronunciation in my experience is pretty much the last aspect of a second language to properly fall into place.

Namely, they can’t make a sound that the native speaker can, on the basis of sound alone, clearly distinguish as being either ‘r’ or ‘l’. And, because of this, when they listen to words that contain ‘r’ or ‘l’, they’re not sure which of these letters of the alphabet they’re hearing. Is there any reason, furthermore, to say this matters, or to try to alter the course of nature? Well, obviously, there is such a thing as being too pedantic about pronunciation, as perfect pronunciation in my experience is pretty much the last aspect of a second language to properly fall into place. Nonetheless, there are some very good reasons to argue that Thai and Korean students should be shown very clearly from the outset exactly what they have to do to come up with an unambiguous ‘r’ and ‘l’, and the sort of problems that are going to stand in their way, as well as be reminded at auspicious moments that they need to keep up the effort to get it right.</p>\n<p>Foremost amongst these reasons, in my opinion, is that while we can usually guess from context which sound it is they’re trying to say, there remain plenty of occasions on which time can be wasted, and misunderstandings created, by mispronunciation. The spur for me to write this article, in fact, provides a very good example of this; as I was travelling in the car with two of my Korean friends the other day, both of whom are otherwise excellent speakers of English, they were trying to explain to me a Korean expression that means sudden surprise. The first word in the expression, they were telling me, means ‘river’; the remainder of the expression, they went on to explain, means ‘it is anticipated will fall down’. I was quite bemused, to begin with, because we wouldn’t really say in English that a river, per se, ‘falls down’; do you mean, I asked them, that this expression infers sudden surprise because it is analogous to the feeling one would get when one rounds the bend in one’s boat to be confronted by Niagra Falls? No silly, they told me, we’re not talking about the river as in water, we’re talking about the river as in the organ that cleans your blood. When you’re suddenly surprised, you get the feeling that your ‘river’ is about to fall down into the nether regions of your body. Ahhh…</p>\n<p>In fact, I find it fairly unsettling when the beautiful efficiency of the code to transcribe thought into sounds that spoken language represents is spoiled by mispronunciation, or when the logic of such a wonderful system is thus tarnished; nor is having conversation led down the garden path the least of the negative outcomes that said mispronunciation can create. Sometimes, the things one says, quite apart from being simply misleading, can be damned embarrassing. In terms of ‘r’ and ‘l’, there is always the clichéd example of people who can’t get it right asking for ‘a serving of flies’, or, when upholding the concept of democracy, ‘holding an erection’; I’m not just critical of Thai and Korean people speaking my language, of course, I need to be on the ball myself. My most classic faux pas was, when lecturing to 50 Thai students about snow, I decided to take the easy way out and translate the word snow into Thai; with but one slip of the tongue what I came out with was not ‘hi-ma’, which is the word that I was looking for, but instead ‘hee-mar’, which means, in the rudest possible sense imaginable, nothing less than a dog’s vagina! While such things are of considerable amusement to me, because I’ve never had to be taken seriously in either Thai or Korean society on the basis of my ability to speak these languages, imagine the indignity that arises for Thai and Korean people who are trying to be taken seriously on the basis of their English when they consistently mispronounce their ‘r’s and ‘l’s; I’d say that, while it is of course a sad inditement on the mentality of a lot of Australian people, there were more than a few of my Asian professors at university who wished they had an understanding of and ability to speak the sounds ‘r’ and ‘l’ that allowed them to forego the constant snickers and cruel mimicry that continually confronted them, and that so challenged their intellectual integrity.</p>\n<p>Which is not to mention either that, in terms now of listening, getting ‘r’ and ‘l’ right does wonders for a lot of Thai and Korean students’ spelling; once they’ve mastered the art, one no longer has to read about ‘flogs in the pond’, or how much they ‘rike the Austlarian people’.</p>\n<p>No, there are definitely a lot of reasons to prevent nature taking its course, or to initiate some appropriate intervention; this becomes completely apparent when we consider that, contrary to the opinion of many, there is absolutely no biological reason why a Thai or Korean person cannot pronounce a perfect ‘r’ or ‘l’. Rather than imagining, in other words, that to get these sounds right one is going to have to go to the lengths of performing one of the more ghastly acts of mutilation on one’s own body that the drive to conform to Western norms creates (or that to give your kids a dignified English speaking future you’re going to have to have it done on them), and suffer painful surgery of the tongue, the Thai or Korean person would do better to bear in mind that, with the exception of obvious deformity, the scientific community is predominantly in agreement that any human mouth can produce the sounds of any human language. For evidence of a lack of biological impediments to a native-like pronunciation of ‘r’ and ‘l’ one needs look no further than the Thai and Korean people who have been born within Australia; why, those amongst them who I’ve met speak no differently to the way I do! Furthermore, while deviations from the mainstream modes of Australian pronunciation that don’t create ambiguity of meaning are indeed in many cases somewhat lingering, when it comes to even non-native born Thai and Korean Australians I’ve come across many of them who, after no time at all, certainly aren’t struggling with ‘r’ and ‘l’; in fact, about the only ones who have never got it right in my experience are the ones who are very dogmatic about the already ‘high status’ of their abilities, or who think that the way they are when they come to Australia is as good as you can get.</p>\n<p>Which hints at one of the real reasons for why some Thai or Korean people wouldn’t be able to say ‘r’ and ‘l’; an inability to be critical of oneself in any society walks hand in hand with all sorts of disturbing flaws. But of course there are but few students one will come across, I think especially these days, whose troubles are the consequence of this mentality; more importantly, we might point to the following. Coming in at number one, without a doubt, when it comes to what lies at the heart of the ‘r’ and ‘l’ dilemma for Thai and Korean people, is the transliteration problem; to begin with, an enormous number of English words have been incorporated into the Thai and Korean languages, and of course because they have become a part of these languages they are spelt using the Thai and Korean orthographic systems. In addition, well-meaning but completely misguided teachers, right from the outset, tend to ‘help’ Thai and Korean students with the English language by, once again, spelling them using the characters of the Thai or Korean languages. The problem here is simple; Thai, Korean and English each have their own unique set of sounds, many of which are exclusive to that language; when it comes to ‘r’ and ‘l’, Thai and Korean lack the exact equivalents, and so what is substituted instead for the sake of writing English in these languages are approximants. Leading, of course, to the dilemma that, because when the students think of English words they are on account of these factors thinking of ‘English’ that uses the sound systems of their own languages, they mispronounce these sounds.</p>\n<p>In Thai, the nearest approximant for ‘r’ is ‘rohr ruhr’ (which is a sound I’m teaching you incorrectly because I’m using English to write it…); this is a sound made by vibrating your tongue against the roof of the mouth. If it was spoken the way that it is in very formal situations spoken in Thai as a substitute for ‘r’ (I’m sure you’ve all heard them giving it a good trill) it wouldn’t be too bad, because of course there are some native speakers of English who roll their ‘r’s, and we don’t have any trouble understanding them; usually, though, for the sake of brevity, or in normal speech, the tongue touches just once, and this is the way Thais say it when they substitute it for ‘r’ in English. The outcome – we hear a sound that sounds like ‘l’, not ‘r’. In Korean, they substitute the sound ‘ree-eul’ (again, a misleading spelling) for ‘r’; in this sound too the tongue touches the roof of the mouth, always just once here, lending native speakers of English the impression that an ‘l’ has been spoken. When it comes to ‘l’ in English, furthermore, while both Thai and Korean have similar approximants (‘lor-ling’ in Thai and the aforementioned ‘ree-eul’ in Korean), in my understanding the tongue doesn’t work as forcefully as it does in English, leading to much softer sounds that can easily be mistaken for ‘r’; hence, of course, the argument that the transliteration problem is nine-tenths responsible for the overall problems that native speaker English teachers typically observe in their Thai and Korean students.</p>\n<p>This problem with ‘r’ is exacerbated, furthermore, by the fact that there have traditionally been a number of linguistics texts that show ‘r’ being spoken with the very tip of the tongue curled towards the roof of the mouth; while there are a small minority of English speakers who pronounce it this way, for most of us the tip of the tongue doesn’t so much raise as retract (as you can see at <www.uiowa.edu/~acadtech/phonetics/english/frameset.html> ). The real shame here being that by learning to speak ‘r’ this way, if Thai and Korean people don’t outright mistake the pronunciation for the way they say the approximants they use from their own language (I’ve had them go self-righteously crook at me for criticising something ‘that’s plainly illustrated in this book’), the tongue is in a position so close to the way they’d say these sounds anyway that they just can’t help themselves from doing it. If they were to observe illustrations that depict the tip of the tongue being kept at bay, in other words, we might imagine that this would go a long way towards rectifying the problem.</p>\n<p>Indeed, when you see what’s at the heart of the problem – a general misunderstanding of how the mouth’s articulatory mechanisms should be working, and enculturation with a false set of instructions (the impregnation of the brain with a visual code that relates to or programmes the wrong mouth movements) – it clearly obviates what needs to be done about it. Humans are, when all the advantages to be gained lie in rational directions, reasonable creatures; by showing one’s students what they need to be doing to say ‘r’ and ‘l’, by pointing out to them the pitfalls, and by gently ensuring that they lend sufficient attention to their shortcomings of pronunciation to overcome force of habit, you can have them ‘r’-ing and ‘l’-ing like champions in no time. Of course it doesn’t hurt either to, in view of making them aware that there are advantages to be gained, point out the logical disadvantages of persisting with incorrect methods of pronunciation; unless it’s brought home to them succinctly that the benefits are worth the effort, any tuition in these directions will likely go to waste.</p>\n<p>In conclusion here, in other words, it would seem sensible to recommend the following. Ban transliteration; put the English alphabet up on the wall, teach your students to associate English characters directly with English sounds, and spell words in English. Explain to them that the Konglish and Tinglish pronunciations with which they’re familiar are not English, and why, and that there’ll be disadvantages to using them when conversing with English speaking people. Use clear diagrams, mirrors, peer-to-peer observation of the mouth and so on to make sure they know the way to get it right; avoid the use of English pronunciations of ‘r’ that lie too close to the pronunciation of Thai and Korean approximants, and make sure they know that to produce the ‘l’ sound the tongue works very strongly (like I always tell them, spit doesn’t come out of an ESL teacher’s mouth for nothing!). Finally, keep the mirror on hand, and get your class to check each other on subsequent occasions, so that you can constantly remind students of the mechanism of what they’re doing; get them to slow down and concentrate on it until the correct pronunciation is written to their memory, or until it becomes automatic.</p>\n<p>With some students you will, of course, want to throw your hands into the air (there are those who might even get a bit cranky at you because they keep blowing it); don’t give up, though, because if you get the whole class on side with what you’re doing and they help you remind the forgetful ones (make it more of a disadvantage to get it wrong), you’ll ultimately be successful.</p>','','2007-03-01 02:25:25',1,'2007-03-01 02:25:25','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(56,6,'Ruminations on curriculum development','ruminations-on-curriculum-development','advice in regards to developing your own curriculum','How can you develop a curriculum from scratch, with no materials to draw on whatsoever? Having been in this position myself, I might be able to help you out.','<p>What I wanted to offer here this month is some advice in regards to developing your own curriculum. The first thing I should point out being that this is something that I am only just getting into, or something that I have only just started to seriously read up on, as previously it has always been the case that I’ve been teaching established curricula – I mean, I’ve never come across the one that doesn’t require the teacher to put substantial effort into the development of lesson material, and into the invention of ways to liven it up, but it’s really only in the last couple of years that I’ve been faced with the situation where I have to develop an entire curriculum from scratch. I wouldn’t go so far as to say, in other words, that anything that follows here comes from a terribly well-informed perspective, or that people who are representative of such a perspective won’t be shaking their heads as they read it; for people in the situation, however, that has prompted the evolution of this procedure, there might be something at least here that they are going to find useful. Consider it, if you will, at this stage merely something I’m chucking onto the table; I’d be pleased to hear back from others what they reckon and, when I do finish reading the stack of books about it I’ve just ordered, I have every intention of, if necessary, returning to these thoughts with a suitable re-appraisal.</p>\n<p>And who do I think might find what follows here of some use? Well, basically, people who are experiencing the same situation I did when I first started ESL teaching, and that I kept coming across in many of the places I went. Here’s how it unfolds. You finally take the big plunge to decide to go somewhere; you tender your CV, you score a job, you get there, and this is what you discover. If you’re lucky, there’s at least a broad plan outlining some topics that you have to cover with the students in class; maybe, even, there are a couple of battered old texts, minus the teacher’s guides and workbooks, that have been there since the nuns left in 1965. Maybe there’s a computer too; chances are, however, that if it’s running a language you can use, there’ll be such intense competition for it from the other teachers in the institute, from the office staff, and from the boss’s kids, that you’re unlikely to be able to use it as your principal point of reference. Which is not to mention either that you, yourself, might be a recent graduate from a field that is nothing to do with either languages, education or culture, let alone that you might not have any specific qualification whatsoever in the field of ESL; even then, because when I first started teaching it was on the back of a humanities degree that had at least covered languages and Asian studies, and because I had at least done a Grad. Cert. in TESOL, you’re still likely to be sweating it out immensely. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am quite happy to admit that, when it came to my first few months on the job, even with all the best preparation that in short notice I was able to come up with, I didn’t have a clue; it’s not something to be embarrassed about, because you won’t have to look too far through any teacher literature to see that, as with any job, you can’t really develop professionally until you’re confronted first hand with the situation you have to deal with.</p>\n<p>With that, I wouldn’t mind adding a quick thought here either on the debate around qualifications vs. experience, and furthermore whether said qualifications are more beneficial if they are practically rather than theoretically oriented; this is what I reckon. Nobody has much of a clue to begin with. However, the more knowledgeable you are about ESL related things, the more potential resources you have upon which to draw to inform your actions; nobody could argue, I mean, that you don’t have a lot more to work with in this situation, and are thus better equipped. One very good way to become knowledgeable about the field of ESL is to obtain qualifications within the field. On the flipside of this, qualifications are a much better indication to an employer that you have some sort of a suitable knowledge base to draw upon than your word for it; you can provide the same sort of indication as qualifications to an employer, if you obtained your knowledge in other ways, using other means such as a portfolio, the publication of articles in the teaching journals or on websites, an annotated bibliography of the material you have read, and/or the inclusion of a theoretically astute teaching philosophy in your CV. Or, get your previous bosses to write you references that specifically demonstrate you are knowledgeable in the field, and in what ways, rather than just saying you were a good bloke (or woman, ’scuse the sexist language) who worked hard and who kept the students happy; it doesn’t take much to do these things, and for all future employers know, you might have been mediocrely entertaining the kids with magic shows and word searches for x hundred years without taking a single step in the direction of becoming a genuinely productive teacher.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, predominantly theory-based qualifications get a good bashing around the traps – yes, it’s highly likely that the professors who devise educational courses in Western universities are really stupid people (I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and I know history shows a real necessity for critical thinking, but I mean come on). I think the distinction to make, though, or the impetus behind the design of predominantly theory based teaching courses, is this. If you learn how to do practical activities, you can co-ordinate those activities very well, and even modify them in a few different directions. If you learn theory, however, you’re equipped with the means to generate yourself an infinite number of learning activities, or with a far more boundless practical imagination for the task. In view of the need for beginner teachers to have something to go on with, therefore, or something to give them a positive sense of direction, some training in the practicalities of teaching is in any good tertiary ESL course provided; however, the real emphasis is put on theory, because the returns in terms of eventual teaching productivity and the positive effect that tertiary education has on the aspirations of the profession have proven to be eventually so much greater. Or so I reason it to be, at any rate.</p>\n<p>Anyway, to get back to the main thrust of what it is I want to say this month, how can you develop a curriculum from scratch, with no materials to draw on whatsoever, if you don’t, to borrow an apt colloquialism, ‘know shit’? Here’s one way, having been in this position myself, I might be able to help you out. The first decision you have to make, if you want to do a bit of action research on the Matt Smith model, is what sort of language it is you are going to have to teach your students. Most times, you’ll be hired at a school as a conversation instructor, so you’re going to need to teach them to be able to speak and listen. And, because in the past students would spend years studying the English language and still not be able to say anything intelligible, and because the emphasis these days is therefore on ‘communicative language teaching’ (which we can simplify to mean teaching that provides them with the ability to enter an English speaking environment and actually be able to some degree participate in that environment by being able to express themselves, and by being able to understand what’s going on around them), you’re going to need to teach them to speak and listen to things that, in the sort of English speaking environments your students might feasibly one day head off to, are going to serve them in that context. So, to arrive at a map of the sort of language that is going to form the overall content of your curriculum, this is what you might do; grab your pen and paper, sit down, and imagine if you were in that environment what sort of communication it would be that you would be likely to engage in. Thinking about spending one day in that environment, from when you enter it until you leave, if you methodically put yourself in the shoes of the non-native speaker is going to generate for you enough material to keep you going for months.</p>\n<p>Then, once you’ve arrived at this map of your curriculum, you need to categorise things into topics; there’s any number of reasonable ways to do this, and I’m sure you can figure it out for yourself (i.e. as you see in the texts, ‘greetings’, ‘directions’, ‘office slave commands’ and so forth – please don’t be limited by these examples, there are endless permutations). What should you start with? My own guidelines are to start with the stuff that’s easiest, that most frequently comes up, and that provides the broadest knowledge base for the range of topics that you’ve arrived at. Following which, or once you’ve arrived at some sort of hierarchy, it might be sensible to do the following; do a little bit of testing of your students to see what on your language map they are au fait with, or at what point the real education is going to have to begin. Don’t forget to explain to them somehow the rationale behind what you’re doing; students stick to the mission, as you yourself might reason by imagining yourself in their place, far better if they can follow the logos of the operation.</p>\n<p>The idea being, of course, or what I’m proposing here is what you’re trying to accomplish, that you need to end up with a set, divided into suitable categories, of things that you want your students to, at the end of your instruction, actually be able to speak and listen to with some proficiency – just as examples, you might want them to be able to ask and respond to the question of ‘What did you do on the weekend?’, or to be able to describe their favourite food. You need to firmly arrive at, in other words, if you want to give this method a try, some target language, or some outcomes for your curriculum, that form the schema for the topics it’s going to teach. Again, you’re going to need to map out these topics; if, for example, you wanted to do the ‘What did you do on the weekend?’ one, you would sit down and write out as many (or at least a decent sample thereof) responses to this question that you, yourself, might come up with. This is to allow you to identify patterns in the language; the next stage of the process, and it’s really easy, is to see that there are definite regularities the ways in which we go about saying things, and in the content of our language. </p>\n<p>If, in other words, you write out some responses to the question of ‘What did you do on the weekend?’, you’ll soon notice that there are some categorisable ways in which we can answer this question; we might, for example, burst out with the one really exciting thing we did on the weekend. Or, we might list, with reference to the times at which things happened, a number of activities in which we participated. In regards to content, by looking at the mini-corpora you’ve produced, you’ll soon see that, in the latter case, students will need to know about times and, therefore, numbers, and about how verbs in English change into the ‘ed’ tense when we talk about the past (and that this happens in certain situations, and so on - you don’t have to be a grammar expert to be accomplished in this method, but it will certainly, through ‘reverse engineering’, with a bit of application make you one); in both cases, they need some adjectives to describe their experiences, some nouns that commonly recur in this type of conversation for them, and suchlike. When I say that the target language forms the schema for your topic, in other words, this is what you’re doing; you’re identifying the constituent bits, or subtopics, that you’ll need to teach in isolation from one another so as to be able to provide the students with a genuine capacity to be later able to bring it all together in competent communication. I’m not suggesting, of course, that you teach these out of context, or as disjointed bits of language, because this wouldn’t be the go at all; again, as it definitely seems more effective (if not logical), you’ll need to introduce your topics to students in ways that allow them to visualise very clearly the relationship of the subtopics to them.</p>\n<p>What you will end up with at this stage being the content of actual lessons; ‘today, students, we’ll work on adjectives that overall describe our weekend’, or ‘today, students, we’re going to do a bit of work on verbs’. The next step, quite naturally, being to transform this content into lessons; I’m not going to go too far into that here (although I might pick it up another time), other than to say when you want to do your activities and play your games, you’ve arrived at what they should be designed to teach. Little bits are easy to transform into interesting activities; once these little bits are learnt, you can develop in very interesting ways the more complex activities that bring them all together. What I observe in other teacher’s practice (and what I used to do myself) is that they often choose an interesting activity or topic as the focus for students’ engagement, but that the language learnt, because ‘topic’ or ‘activity’ rather than ‘target language within a holistic framework’ is the principal determinant of lessons, lacks integration; with this method, the topics are still just as interesting and relevant, albeit somewhat better structured, the interest value of games can still be the focus of engagement for students, albeit that the language that they teach has somewhat more of a point and is perhaps more thoughtfully sequenced, and at the end of the day the students can take pride in actually having accomplished something concrete in the way of skills. Furthermore, at the end of the day, the teacher is able to methodically cross off that topic, and all that it entails, as being definite skills that have been systematically added into the students’ repertoire. Take me with a grain of salt, though; who do you know, especially in the world of Western males (the method of cooking on a barbecue being an archetypal example), that doesn’t point out the advantages of the way that they, themselves, do things!</p>\n<p>I don’t mean to be like this, though; as I mentioned previously, I just want to chuck out a few things on the table for the consideration of my peers, and that might be of some assistance to those who are stressing because they’ve just started out in the profession. Especially if you don’t have any materials or references; the only thing you need to go through the procedure I’ve been talking about here is a pen, some paper, and the resources of your own English-speaking brain. Just to clarify things, here’s that procedure once again; in a series of steps, this is what you have to do.</p>\n<p>Step One</p>\n<p>By putting yourself in your students’ shoes, map out the type of communication in which they’ll have to engage in the type of English speaking environment they might reasonably head off to.</p>\n<p>Step Two</p>\n<p>Divide this into topics. Order your topics in terms of frequency, complexity, and the generalisability of the language they employ.</p>\n<p>Step Three</p>\n<p>Test your students to see which topics they know, and to what degree.</p>\n<p>Step Four</p>\n<p>Map out how the language in each topic you’ve chosen to teach unfolds.</p>\n<p>Step Five</p>\n<p>Identify the features of the language sample thus created.</p>\n<p>Step Six</p>\n<p>Devise lessons that teach these features in a logical sequence.</p>\n<p>Step Seven</p>\n<p>Devise some lessons that bring it all together. </p>\n<p>Step Eight</p>\n<p>Bob’s your uncle!</p>\n<p>Oh, and as a language learner myself, I cannot understate the importance of making sure that the features of the target language you’re teaching are taught in exceptionally small increments, and are revised with great regularity in subsequent lessons; this allows you to take them on board, and for them to solidify in your brain. Hope it brings you some luck!</p>','','2007-02-01 02:34:31',1,'2007-02-01 02:34:31','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(57,6,'Fishing in Isaarn','fishing-in-isaarn','the dummies guide to fishing in Thailand','Scattered all over Isaan are numerous ‘hoowhy’ (reservoirs) and ‘keu-un’ (lakes) which are not only amazing places to unwind after the tribulations of the classroom, they are simply terrific places to fish. Tight lines!','<p>One of the most interesting things you can do in Isaarn if you’re teaching there is go fishing. Nor do I mean the type of fishing where you go and sit on an insect-infested riverbank and wait for some muddy-tasting carp to come and mouth your bit of bread dough – oh no, fishing in the boonies is far more exciting than that. Scattered all over the place are numerous ‘hoowhy’ (reservoirs) and ‘keu-un’ (lakes) which are not only very quiet and picturesque places to unwind after the tribulations of the classroom, they also offer some of the most intriguing piscatorial pursuits it’s possible to imagine.</p>\n<p>Before you’re going to be able to get into it, though, you’re going to have to go and get yourself some gear. Don’t imagine, however, that the cost of this is going to be prohibitive to your enjoyment; while as one of my students said ‘Thai fishermen like to buy the expensive big brand names because they can demonstrate their skill’ (demonstrate the susceptibility of yet another ego-oriented male culture to the wiles of capitalism, if you ask me), and while the owners of the fishing shops in particular are going to encourage you to part with your hard earned baht in exchange for the complete matching ‘his and hers’ set of rod, reel, and garishly adorned gloves, hat, vest, tent and shoes, it is of course the fisherman and not the equipment that maketh the moment. Even that cheap Chinese stuff you buy at the market at Kong Chiam would, to people a hundred years ago, be a marvel of modern technology, and, if you just take care not to get any sand in it, will do a magnificent job in catching you some decent fish; believe me, you can get an outfit that’s going to last you for years brand new for no more than five hundred baht. A small ‘egg-beater’ reel (as we call them in Australia) can be obtained for about two hundred and fifty baht, and a rod to go with it will cost you the same. Rod-wise, get something stiff, and for line something around 15 lbs; some of the fish you’re going to latch onto in Isaarn are enormous, and this type of equipment is also convenient for pulling your lure out of the trees.</p>\n<p>Personally, I prefer to use a close-faced reel and a pistol grip rod, which once again for a pretty fancy looking set-up comes to around five hundred baht (and you just know that someone in China’s life totally sucks when you can make such a score); such an outfit allows you to cast the lightest of lures with great accuracy into the gaps in the lilly pads and under the trees.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, you’re going to have to get yourself some lures. Like I say, while once you get keen bait fishing can be a lot of fun in Isaarn as well, the real excitement for especially beginners is found on the move; you can get some wickedly healthy exercise and traverse a lot of very interesting environment, while simultaneously entertaining yourself enormously (not to mention getting something yummy to eat) by purchasing yourself a few simple plastic frogs. They’re the go; you want the type you can buy at any tackle shop that have either twin upturned hooks and a few streamers hanging off their bum, or that in front of them are decorated with a propeller. Grab a couple of both, and make sure you get big ones because it pays to be optimistic (upturned hooks are essential so that you don’t get stuck in the aquatic vegetation – nothing can be more vexing); the cheapest ones go for around twenty baht, and the top of the range for about one hundred and fifty.</p>\n<p>As for what else you’re going to need, none of it is specific to fishing; one of the best things about Isaarn is the warm weather, so you don’t have to worry about all that stuff like waders and fancy vests. Don’t bother with accessorising, in other words, you’re going fishing, not to a fashion parade; get a broad brimmed hat, so your face and neck don’t get burned off, a t-shirt, a pair of jeans or army pants or something, some socks and some sneakers. You can wear shorts fishing if you’re keen, I’ve done it heaps of times myself; the downside of that, though, is that if you make your way through the lotus beds, you’re going to get scratched beyond recognition. The leaf stems of lotus lillies are covered in amazingly stiff bristles; if they didn’t evolve to be like that specifically to dissuade animals like the ubiquitous Isaarn ‘kway’ (water buffalo, careful how you say that) from trampling them to death, they’re certainly fearsome enough to do so, and you’ll find that unprotected passage through the lotus patch can be a horror expedition.</p>\n<p>And then, of course, there are ‘bling’. I’m sure you know the bling; the first sign of its presence, if your senses have been heightened by fear to a point sufficient to make you conscious of it, is a gentle caress on whatever part of your body you’ve left uncovered (it could be the genital region if you opt for the shorts). What feels like the softest and most pleasurable touch imaginable, however, is a far cry from anything that is going to take you to nirvana; what you’re really feeling is a hand-span long black and orange aquatic leech, the most horrific thing you can imagine, zooming in for a feed. If I opt for the shorts, I just don’t look at my legs until I’m finished fishing (by which time they’ve generally dropped off, leaving merely the bleeding wounds) – mate, if I feel anything caressing my genitals, I’m out of there and, irrespective of the presence of an audience, it’s off with the drawers. Jeans tucked into socks and fastened tightly around the bottom of a t-shirt do, however, keep them off you. The trick is too, of course, to keep out of the shallows around the edge of water bodies that are less accessible to the fish; I think the fish must eat them, and so here tends to be their haunt.</p>\n<p>Anyway, once you’ve got all your stuff together, there’s only one thing between you and all the fun; you have to find a spot. There are a couple of approaches you can take here; the first is to head to one of the larger and more well known keu-un you can see on the map. A good example of such a keu-un is Lake Sirinton, which would have to be one of the most beautiful places in the world; there are very few places in Lake Sirinton you can throw your line where you’re not going to catch fish. I’m not going to spill all my beans here, because part and parcel of getting into fishing, or an intrinsic part of what makes it so much fun, is adventuring around to find the good spot; one clue I can provide though is that around Pattaya Noi, which is pretty much the first place you come to when you drive to Sirinton, is an excellent place to get started. Particularly in the wet season; if you go and chuck your plastic frog off the rocks by the side of the road just before you get to where all the raft restaurants are when the water is right up to the edge of the road, you better be ready to hang on. Which reminds me; if you haven’t tried fishing before, make sure you set the drag on your reel properly – on an eggbeater it’s the dial on the front of the line spool, and you want it set so that when you pull your lure, rather than breaking line will grudgingly unwind off the spool (the idea is that big fish will, rather than being able to bust you off and escape, become fatigued having to drag line off the reel). Mess with it, and you’ll soon see what I mean. Oh, and don’t forget either to, if you do go to Sirinton, go and give some bananas to the monkeys; just past the spillway, there’s a sign saying ‘Tourist Attraction: Natural Spring’, and if you drive in there and blow your horn a cool tribe of monkeys will emerge that you can feed.</p>\n<p>For my own part, though, all the fun is to be had in the hoowhys. The land in Ubon and Sisaket, my favourite haunts, was once an ancient seafloor, and in many places as soon as you get off the main roads you’re in essence driving along a beach-track; all that white sand and the gum trees that have taken over the countryside around there, as an Australian, remind me of all the most wonderful times I’ve had in my life. I keep expecting, in fact, to pop out onto a beach any second! At any rate, if you get onto your motorbike and charge out into the bush, you can ask the farmers where the hoowhys are; the more remote it is, and the bigger it is, the more fish you’re going to catch. The best ones are the hoowhys that have sections that are thick with lotus and/or choked with grass and reeds; herein there be frogs, and you of course are trying to tempt the fish into biting on an imitation of this type of tucker. This is where it becomes insanely fun; march to the edge of the water, chuck your frog into the gaps in the lilies or just drag it across the top of the grass and weeds (which won’t be a problem if you have a lure of the type I described earlier), and you can actually watch the water boiling as fish compete for a feed. It is, as I say, really exciting; the fish will burst out from all over the place in big explosions of water to get their teeth into your lure.</p>\n<p>And what sort of fish are there to catch? That’s part of the fun, too; if you come from another country, and you’re not familiar with the species to be found in Thailand, it’s interesting to launch your frog into the unknown and see what you come up with. Expect to catch the following; you’ll get blah sood (Asian Perch), or in the regional dialect, blah gasoob, you’ll get blah chon (what the Americans call ‘snakehead’, and the Koreans ‘gamulchi’), and, if you’re lucky, you’ll get the big brother of blah chon, blah chadoh, which grows as big as your leg. Personally, I don’t fish for anything except the latter two species myself, having tired of the prevalence of the former; it is blah chon in particular that I like to catch, as they are incredibly smart, and it gives me a great sense of achievement to capture one. I see them peeping at me from under the lilly pads, laughing to themselves I’m sure at my audacity in thinking they can be outsmarted; they can be though, and so violent is their strike when you trick them into biting that it just about gives me a heart attack every time (it is, I mean, a fantastic adrenalin rush). And, of course, they are delicious – if you’re going to engage in the cruelty of fishing, you have a black heart indeed if you’re not even going to take a couple home for a feed.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the last thing I should mention here being that earlier, I made it sound like Isaarn fishermen like to mindlessly dress up in the accoutrements of consumerism, or buy themselves all the brand gear and parade about like popinjays; as is the case in Australia (and Korea – you want to check out FTV here) there are plenty of people who confuse appearance (the possession of wealth?) with ability, but in actuality if I left you thinking this about the people around Ubon/Sisaket you would be harbouring an impression that for the most part lies a long way from the truth. I feel a real affinity with these people because I come from the countryside in Australia, and because as at home there are a lot of people in these parts who enjoy outdoor sports like fishing; as is the case in my own neck of the woods (as I mentioned in my previous article, the Far North Coast of New South Wales), as you make your way about the Ubon/Sisaket region you’re going to find a lot of really down to earth people who seriously enjoy their angling. It seems to me that the people of Isaarn, perhaps better than anyone, know showing off for what it is; I can guarantee that there will be times when, as you emerge from tangled thickets at the crack of dawn in some remote place that you’ve soldiered to to get away from the hoi polloi, it will be to do so only to find some bedraggled but grinning village legend with his frog already out there on the water.</p>\n<p>And the real sign of their good character, of course, is that, rather than having a temper tantrum, they invariably move over and invite you to come and stand beside them.</p>','','2007-01-01 02:42:22',1,'2007-01-01 02:42:22','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(58,6,'who speaks English well?','who-speaks-english-well','An impossible question to answer','If we compare Thais to Koreans, Japanese or Chinese, who comes out on top in the English language speaking stakes?

All this is purely anecdotal, or lacks any empirical research on my behalf to back such a claim, and I know there have been studies done recently that suggest otherwise; nonetheless, it seems clearly the case to me that not only are Thai students, generally speaking, no worse in terms of their abilities than those to whom we might appropriately compare them in the aforementioned regions, but also that there are several features of their culture that might, theoretically speaking, in fact make them more receptive to acquisition of the English language. Although perhaps I need to qualify this a little further; the Thai people with whom I’m familiar, who, coming as they do from the nether regions of Isaarn (Sisaket and Ubon), are really only arbitrarily ‘Thai’ at all, have a cultural predisposition that really seems to lend itself to the learning of other tongues.</p>\n<p>So what are the grounds then, upon which I put forward this notion? Well to begin with, the year before last I taught English at my own university in Australia (‘mine’ in the sense that it is the university in my home region, the Far North Coast of New South Wales, and that it is the university from which most of my qualifications have been attained); naturally speaking, my association with the international office there acquainted me with, in terms of their countries of origin, an extremely diverse group of students. What I noticed being that the Thais, most of whom were either the spouses of Australian men or on development scholarships, and thus usually from the Isaarn region, were usually better at speaking English to begin with than the other Asian students. Although of course if you’re married to an Australian, you enjoy a certain advantage over other would-be English speakers in terms of your previous exposure to the language, and indeed Australian men are far more likely to marry the better English speakers in the first place; having taken these factors into consideration, however, and having contemplated the peculiarities of the cases with which I became familiar, I still feel inclined to offer that observation.</p>\n<p>Then, there are my own experiences in Asia. I’ve been to Korea, where I am currently situated, three times now; last year, I spent a year teaching at university in Ubon. Although my association with Thai culture far exceeds my experiences in this period; I came here on a Bicentennial scholarship from Australia when I was kid, and since then have spent considerable resources on studying the language. What I can honestly say, on the basis of these travels (and my intimate acquaintance with these two places has precipitated fairly close engagement with young Asian people from a lot of other places as well), being that if Thai people are worse at speaking English than other people in their situation around the Asian region, this is something that has yet to poke me in the eye. Particularly with the Koreans I’m teaching at the moment (17, 18 and 19 year olds at a public high school), my most considered assessment is that, as a group, they are exactly the same in terms of their speaking ability as any comparatively situated group of students that I’ve come across in Thailand. </p>\n<p>Furthermore, as I say Isaarn students seem to be possessed of several cultural features that really lend themselves to learning speaking. To begin with, in any class I ever taught there the students were at the very least bi (and read on before you go jumping to any conclusions here!), and in many cases multi-lingual; I’m sure that anyone who has learnt to speak other languages would agree with me when I say that after the first, the rest come easy. Their multilingualism exists, moreover, on account of their multiculturalism; this region of Asia isn’t multicultural like Indonesia in the sense that there is a border around a whole bunch of culturally disparate regions (a bit of an outrageous generalisation, but I’m sure you get the gist of what I mean), it’s a truly mixed-up population (no double entendres intended here either!). The consequence of this, of course, is that students from this region lack the type of cultural secularism that monocultural populations typically tend to display, and thus the barriers to learning other languages that are part and parcel of being possessed of an inward-looking weltenschaung (such as that of the West). Finally, there’s the nature of their culture, if we treat its multiplicity as a single entity now, itself; it is, like many of what I like to think of as the ‘Sunda-Sahul’ cultures, a caring, sharing culture, and of course as we know carers and sharers lack the individual conceit and animosity towards others that is so prohibitive to language osmosis.</p>\n<p>In fact, might I, in conclusion here, offer an alternative possibility for why, in the part of Isaarn in which I lived, the students were generally thought of by Western teachers as being dreadful at English, and why the students and native Thai teachers alike have thus been sadly convinced of their inferiority to students in other places? Isaarn doesn’t have much money to spend on English education, and of course the lowest pay generally attracts the least attractive teachers; part of what might make a teacher less universal in terms of their ‘hireability’ includes a number of things, like low levels of or non-specific qualifications, advanced age (putting teachers into the ‘selfish generation’, Koreans aren’t stupid), colonial mentality and generally poor attitude towards other people, that we could consider walk hand in hand with what that wise man Edward Said coined the ‘orientalist’ outlook. (Perhaps it needs to be added too that looking for a wife half your age – or less – in a developing nation generally requires the sort of exploitative outlook that similarly typifies an orientalist nature?). Could it be, in other words, that criticising the students as hopeless simply performs the following purposes; on the one hand, it directs blame for their unreceptiveness to lessons and reluctance to speak to the instructor away from the quality of teaching, while on the other it provides yet another reason for why, as European tradition would have it, Asians are inferior? Certainly, I believe it to be food for thought.</p>','','2006-12-03 02:49:10',1,'2006-12-03 02:49:10','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(59,9,'Rocky but real relationships','rocky-but-real-relationships','thoughts on western entertainment','Western entertainment, when viewed from the perspective of living in the East, is unintentionally hilarious and makes me feel more than a little sad for Westerners.

Just last night there were two movies and a TV drama which all featured characters whose husbands or wives had cheated on them. One wife was in therapy, one husband killed his wife and her lover, and yet another husband (whose wife cheated on him with his best friend and colleague) divorced his wife, and never forgave his best friend for the affair. </p>\n<p>Later that same night, a truly dreadful American teen-sex comedy, used as late-night filler by the network, featured a teenage boy whose greatest angst in life was that he loved his teen girlfriend and she wasn’t ‘ready for sex’. An endless and mindless eternity was spent exploring the guilt he was supposed to feel at putting his physical needs ahead of ‘valuing’ his girlfriend’s decision. The climax, if you’ll pardon the pun, was his long awaited, very public confession that she was ‘the most important thing’ and that he’d been bad, bad, bad, for even considering taking the ‘guilt-free pass’ she had offered him to sow his wild oats with another girl, (if he could find one of sufficiently low IQ.).</p>\n<p>All this, when viewed from the perspective of living in the East, is unintentionally hilarious and makes me feel more than a little sad for Westerners. Asia, due to various cultural differences, (not the least of which being the simple abundance of people) has a far more fluid attitude to the sharing of pleasures. I know many Thais, both male and female, who are ‘butterfly’ and this is openly admitted to their friends and lovers. Karaoke bars are on every corner of my hometown where simple pleasures such as affection and inebriation can be attained, while singing along to the tunes of Isaan’s famous ‘Mor-Lam’ music. Last weekend a waitress in a local bar announced, within minutes of my pulling up a barstool, that she wanted me as her boyfriend. Judging by her face, her awe-inspiring figure and the confidence with which she claimed me, I would not have been her only ‘fan’…</p>\n<p>Whence then, cometh this disparity between ‘death before dishonour’ in the Western mindset, and ‘up to you’ in the daily life of countries such as Thailand? And “does anybody really know what time it is, and do they really care?” The relationships are fluid and sometimes fleeting. Often a lover will come back to you months after a break up. Sometimes not. Girls with whom you’ve been intimate will get together and calmly discuss you, as they might a plate of food they’ve enjoyed. Never have I been viewed as breaking some unwritten rule (as I’ve felt in the West) in choosing my own lifestyle, partners, and making my own decisions.</p>\n<p>It seems to me, that for all their scientific advancements, supercilious flag-waving pride and moral piety, the Western governments and media are missing out on what makes a truly happy life. Not access to pre-chewed food, manufactured ‘pop-sensations’ and blind faith in democracy (whatever that is), but the ability of the individual to make legitimate lifestyle choices, according to his or her own wants, needs and moral values. </p>\n<p>One Western film I did enjoy recently was ‘Rocky Balboa’, the story of a man pursuing his chosen path, making his own decisions and taking the consequences. He creates close and honest relationships, sticks it to da man when necessary, and makes a valid point about the pursuit of happiness when he harangues the boxing big-wigs for standing in the way of his dream. If not harming others, who amongst us has the right to deny the individual’s pursuit of happiness? </p>\n<p>Cue ‘Rocky’ theme.

Ice in beer, beer in hand, all’s right with the world. We arrive at the scene where Max is mistaken for Captain Walker, the long-disappeared leader of a tribe of plane crash survivors waiting for salvation in a desert oasis. The descendants tell the story of what they’ve “membered” about the world before “the Apoxoclypse.” One of the reminiscences is of the “v-v-video” suggesting that Captain Walker (or his teaching successor) had a stutter. Nice touch.</p>\n<p>This got me thinking. “Hmmm” thunk I. “Needs more ice.” After that issue was resolved I turned my thoughts to the way bad grammar is often the result of repetitive exposure to grammatical mistakes. There was a legend told me many years ago of a tribe in Africa where (after some brief exposure to missionaries) they had adopted the head shaking and nodding of Western culture. However, after the missionaries had been eaten, the memory grew hazy and to this day the tribe supposedly shakes their head for “Yes” and nods for “No.” This may have contributed to the demise of further generations of missionaries who may have asked the innocent question “Are you cannibals, by any chance?”</p>\n<p>Many English expressions are incorrectly heard and then repeated by countless future generations of the same village, family, or educational background. For example, you can tell whether a person attended Catholic school or not by asking them to pronounce the letter after ‘G’. If they give the more technically correct answer ‘aitch’ you can presume they went to a state-run school, if they answer ‘Haitch’ you can be guaranteed they have attended a Catholic run school following the traditions of Irish nuns and their pronunciation. If however, they answer ‘whillackers’ you should make your way quickly but calmly towards the nearest exit. </p>\n<p>Many native English speakers have inherited poor pronunciation which follows into their written language. Internet forums and blogs are rife with phrases such as “would of” and “could of” as opposed to “would have” and “could have.” I put this down to<br />\nthe similarity in sound between the abbreviation “would’ve” and the incorrect “would of.” Other misheard words that seem to be passed from generation to generation are the ever-annoying ‘fillum’ and the Pythonesque ‘fire burgade.’ Amb-a-lance also fits into that category. </p>\n<p>The correct use of pronouns in a sentence with more than one subject has confused even the best of us. A regular Ajarn Forum poster (whose name shall be withheld to protect the innocent) gave a great example of this when he recently posted that he was “going to cancel Dear and I’s plane tickets.” The way to avoid this confusion is to separate the two subjects and use the correct pronoun structure for each. Put simply “I’m going to cancel my plane ticket” and “I’m going to cancel Dear’s plane ticket” simply becomes “I’m going to cancel Dear’s and my plane tickets.” Or for the more advanced linguist: “Dear and I are going to tell the airline what they can do with our plane tickets.” </p>\n<p>They may well have stayed home and watched a v-v-video…</p>','','2008-06-02 06:18:19',1,'2008-06-02 06:18:19','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(62,9,'Death rides pillion','death-rides-pillion','Death and mayhem on Thailand\'s roads','The driver has pulled over so his ghost-hungry Thai passengers can disembark and stare at the unfolding drama.

We Seamen are a fickle lot, unsure and unsteady on the dry and rocky ground of relationships.

I secured several phone numbers, some deliciously naughty smiles, and a Hi5 address (whatever that is) but the truth is that there is usually a hidden agenda in these dalliances, however casual. Some of the women want you, not surprisingly, to buy something from them. Some want to practice their English, (with you, on you, or at you, it matters not.) Some are looking for a traditional, stable relationship with a ‘provider.’ Still others would be happy for you to merely be their benefactor for a short period of time until the rumpy-pumpy becomes yawny-yawny.</p>\n<p>A commonly heard expression in Thailand regarding the local lovelies is: “You can tell when they’re lying- their lips are moving.” And I have found this to be true in more than a few cases.

And all out of pure kindness!

Why, the Supreme Court itself admitted just last week that it did not “have the authority” to make decisions on matters brought before it! I find that kind of honesty so refreshing in these oh-so-cynical times, don’t you?</p>\n<p>Then there is the ‘grey blob’ TV censorship which isn’t really about censorship at all!

There are so many theories, with so few certainties. I speak not of the array of ‘hard-wired’ preferences in humans that seem to define us into groups; categories such as heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, trisexuals (those who’ll try anything!) even those who describe themselves as having ‘diverse sexualities’. What I am more fascinated by are the many and varied ‘soft preferences’, those traits that make a person feel not just attracted to obvious physical beauty, but to some not-so-obvious variations of it. What is it about the little idiosyncrasies that turns us on, gets our motor running, floats our boat, puts lead in our pencil, and generally gives us butterflies in the tummy?</p>\n<p>I have often wondered this when seeing beauty pageants on television. The parade of uniformly perfect women in boringly conservative outfits designed for PG-13 rated TV viewing hours leaves me yawning. Whereas the image of my local Korean bbq waitress with the bob-cut hair and black eyed half-shy-half-naughty smile, in a waaaay too tight t-shirt and jeans, showing off every Buddha-given curve on her voluptuous (by Thai standards) body, has me tingling as I write this. To others she is just another Isaan girl, a typically cute Lao face and pleasingly Rubenesque body, destined to never speak a word of English and possibly marry a tuk-tuk driver…</p>\n<p>Movie stars, for me, are same-same. Uma Thurman? Probably pretty cool in person, but leaves me cold. Diaz, Roberts, Pfeiffer, et al? Not a twinge. Even so-called ‘super-models’ bristling with health and vitality and undeniable charisma, still look and seem like Barbie dolls to me: False, unappealing, and somewhat lifeless.</p>\n<p>Give me the girl in braids, or cornrows, or secretary glasses, or a tight military uniform. (Panting now…) Give me the girl with a cool personalised tattoo that suggests a spark of originality, or the girl who’s so confident about some part of her body that she’ll deliberately dress to show it off, such as my good friends the Tiger girls in their little dresses doing that walk they do. (Sighs.)<br />\nI’ve met men who prefer white skin, dark skin, tattoos, no tattoos, short hair, long hair, a goofy gap-toothed smile, teeth with braces, snake-hips, curvy hips and big bottoms, slim pins, strong defined calves, (a personal favourite of yours truly) the list is as varied as human desire itself. Indeed, look at the so-called ‘sex-tourism’ market: Western men traveling to Asia for exotic-eyed, slim hipped excitement, and Western women seeking comfort in the lithe, sinewy arms of Kenyan Casanovas.<br />\nIs this an evolutionary tool? Are we, without even being aware of it, breeding a genetically varied population, fuelled by the desire to mate with those whose appearance most closely resembles our personal and slightly off-beat predilections? If so, I guess you shouldn’t be too shocked to see WB at Loy Kratong sometime in the future, floating a kratong with a black-eyed, braided-haired, buxom Isaan girl with truly great calf muscles…perhaps wearing a Tiger dress!<br />\nAhhh, we live in hope…</p>','','2007-12-01 06:43:45',1,'2007-12-01 06:43:45','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(68,9,'Abandon all logic','abandon-all-logic','Thailand\'s unfathomable logic','One of the great joys of travel is to experience the exotic; to find oneself immersed in a culture which holds little or any resemblance to that which we call home.','<p>Thailand is that rarest of mixtures, a place that, to the untrained observer, appears to be a fully-functioning modern nation with all the trappings of success and iconic cultural identity which that implies. Then, there’s the other stuff…</p>\n<p>Picture, if thou will, a typical evening in my beautiful Isaan homeland. I may wander the road-side stalls looking for such bargains as my inner-child deems indispensable. A Thai-flag coloured kite was my latest purchase. Upon getting it home, I discovered it had neither a tail (not a major problem, admittedly) nor a string with which to fly it. Ah well, it looks pretty, stretched across my desk at work.</p>\n<p>As hunger takes hold I may avail myself of a quiet corner of a local Korean bbq house. The term ‘quiet corner’ has a somewhat different meaning here, as the television blares out cartoons watched by adults and, if one is truly lucky, the owner’s children will be celebrating the end of Buddhist Lent by lighting fireworks and throwing them onto the road in front of oncoming vehicles. This, I am lead to understand, is in place of dinner music, which, after all, is so yesterday. I usually eat alone, and as the plate of vegetables is quite large, I take a little and donate the rest to a nearby group of eager diners. Never once has it occurred to the owner to make a half portion for single customers. In fact, he has now taken to pointing to the table he feels will be most appreciative of my left-overs.</p>\n<p>Act of charity duly performed, I saunter off to wet my whistle at a local lakeside bar and eatery. To do this I have to tightrope across a half-submerged bamboo gangplank and past the room with a clearly visible double bed in it. I guess the waitresses get tired during the evening, I’m not sure.</p>\n<p>The next day, as I realise that my motosai’s 3 month ‘servit’ is approximately 18 months overdue, I head in to town to the very friendly Honda dealership. There I am greeted by the mechanics wearing (what else?) bright, white overalls, and quoting me 112 baht for the service. Not a problem. “Aaah, eckuse me Teesha, this plice not collect. Plomotion: 29 baht.” So my two-stroke chariot enjoys a well-earned and well-overdue service, and I enjoy the labours of a white coated Honda technician working on my bike for an hour, for the cost of a bottle of Leo. Sounds fair.</p>\n<p>On my way home I see the Boys In Brown have set up a roadblock across the main road, the only access to my apartments. I realise it’s the end of the month and rules that have not mattered for three weeks suddenly become all-important. I have my Licence on me, so I cruise up fearlessly to see what the deal is. I ride straight through, as do the other riders, some with helmets, some without. There appears to be no rhyme nor reason to this practice. Perhaps they were only stopping cars today. Or perhaps only people wearing blue. We may never know.</p>\n<p>One of the great joys of travel is to experience the exotic; to find oneself immersed in a culture which holds little or any resemblance to that which we call home; to that which we call ‘normal’.

','<p>One certainty of being an expat farang in Thailand is that you’re never alone. Loneliness herself walks in your shadow, and sometimes you in hers. Curiously, (and against all principles of logic and science) her shadow is even heavier at night. Loneliness is the most feared of all human states, being the only emotion one grows less immune to with experience. </p>\n<p>Folklore tells of King Herrod’s experiment with two infant twins kept locked in a tower. The babies were given food and shelter and warmth, but were never held nor touched. As legend has it, they both simply withered and died. The expat and his penchant for massages, and spending money on girls he hardly knows, can be better understood when viewed through that tower-window.</p>\n<p>For the farang, who has most often left family and friends behind to pursue his (for it is usually ‘his’) life-plan of adventure in exotic climes, Loneliness is often a dormitory room with a fridge, a bed, a TV, and if he’s lucky, an Internet connection. These distractions will be enough to keep the farang captive and docile, but will not feed his soul. The fact that psychologists say that most people feel even more lonely after an Internet session, adds to my theory that one should reach out and experience the new-found culture at ground level. This has been my solution, and it has certainly made life more interesting, if not totally banishing Madame Loneliness. </p>\n<p>Some weekends, late at night, Madame and I will visit the all-night market in town and purchase, with what remaining sheckles the bars and dancing girls have left us, a few small trays of rice and (what I presume is) chicken, and on our way home will distribute these to the poor sleeping by their handcarts on the footpaths, or to tuk-tuk drivers sprawled uncomfortably in their back seats. This makes us feel all warm and ‘Mother Teresa’ inside, but I doubt if the Holy Mother ever did her good work reeking of Heineken and coyote-dancer. Then again, I’ve never preached the evils of contraception and abortion to a world losing its humanity, hope and dignity due to overpopulation either. To each their own.</p>\n<p>Another gateway to the heart of the people is to shop for food at the roadside market stalls. I speak precious little Thai, but my presence there and my grasp of sign language and Survival Thai seems to entertain the locals, and always I am greeted with the most beautiful smiles. Also, the fact that there are usually dozens of lovely Uni girls meandering through the rows of carts, picking up their evening fix of sticky rice, goes a long way towards raising the spirits of the ‘khun diaw farang’. In our isolation Madame Loneliness and I try to imagine what the girls are making of the sight of a tall, guileless Westerner asking whether the strange dish before him is ‘blah’, ‘gai’ or ‘moo’ but their bewitching smiles remain the very essence of the Orient, a face within a face. I alone ponder the mystery.

I must say your writing shows a uniqueness of style and simplicity of thought not often seen in someone your age. You deftly weave between the factual and the whimsical with a lightness of touch reminiscent of a drunk avoiding a puddle at midnight. Your warmth and sincerity and your home-spun philosophy lend your musings a Dickensian hearth-like hue without veering into the realms of Machiavellian cynicism or Orwellian nihilism. The way you purposefully penetrated the nuances of the given topic suggests an underlying Wildean flair for precociousness, while at the same time allowing the reader the benefit of peering deeply into the dark catacombs of your innermost soul and perhaps seeing, (in the form of your eternal and undying love of chili-enhanced ground papaya) a reflection of oneself in the collective unconscious.<br />\nD+</p>\n<p>(Love ‘em really!)</p>','','2007-09-01 06:56:48',1,'2007-09-01 06:56:48','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(71,9,'The isaan spirit','the-isaan-spirit','Isaan images','And what about the Isaan people themselves?

','<p>Often, when riding through the maze of street vendors, motorbikes, and impossibly beautiful girls that make up the tapestry of evening street life here in Isaan, I find myself smiling at random people for no particular reason. They always smile back. Sometimes (often, in fact) it is they who smile first. Sometimes my smile will be for a pretty girl, sometimes for a mother or father bouncing a baby on their knee, and sometimes for the small child pointing in my direction and calling out “Farang!” as if he’s just observed the most amazing event a young mind could ever conceive of, and he must stop, point at it, and call out, for fear that this momentous happening may not be believed if not witnessed first-hand by others!</p>\n<p>I treasure these moments. Coming, as I do, from a nation of stay-at-homes. For yea verily, mine is a land of hermits. A strange land at the edge of the world, where people will go out to sit in a crowded tavern, and proceed to talk only to the people with whom they already share a living room. They’ll look around at other people, talk about them, get drunk, and then go home again. All the while secure in the knowledge that their tightly organised, neatly stacked, dymo-labeled world has not been tainted or disturbed in any way by the meeting of ‘the others.’ Most days you could parade through the streets in full medieval armour, carrying a pink-tasseled parasol and wearing a balloon animal around your waist and nobody would notice. They’d all be inside in the air-conditioning, reading celebrity gossip magazines, playing video games and watching pay TV. </p>\n<p>Ah, but not here! Here we go out! Every night a bustle of Uni students can be observed, loitering with intent to have fun, outside the ‘Sewen-Elewen’ and buying sticky rice and ‘moo yor’ from street vendors veiled by smoke, as they cook on their bicycle-wheeled charcoal grills. The well-heeled student will choose to park his two-tone Yamaha Fino out front and take a seat in one of the only two self-proclaimed ‘restaurants.’ Most others will gather in groups of eight or ten at the many open air Korean barbecues. An interesting phenomenon occurs at these cook-out joints: Isaan people steadfastly believe the adage that you should never eat at any place where there are no customers. So, even when there are three barbecue places in a row, one will be bursting at the seams, and the other two will be looking at stacking up their plastic chairs for the night…knowing that tomorrow night, it will probably be their turn to serve 100 black and white clad Uni students at once.</p>\n<p>And what of the people themselves? When was the last time you went out in a western economy, err sorry, country, and had a table of strangers ‘cheers’ you, and ask your name? Or a gaggle of pretty girls send a waitress over to procure your phone number? Simply put, Isaan people are born to party. Actually, they are born to sleep. Then party. Then sleep. Then ‘sing-a-song’. But smiling! Always smiling! Sometimes I can’t help but just grin my biggest, silliest grin at a random student in class, and always they lock dark eyes with me and grin back, as if to say: “Yes! I know! It’s wonderful isn’t it? We’re living, laughing, learning, loving, meeting friends, swimming in ancient waterfalls, eating with chopsticks, riding motosais, sharing som-tam, singing karaoke, and falling asleep with (and of this there is no doubt) the Isaan spirits watching over our still-smiling faces!

The twin headlights strained to pierce the pea-soup fog as the jet-black limousine glided through the gloom of the low-lying Louisiana marshland like a sinister, marauding alligator, or perhaps a low-flying duck. Mack’s heart pounded in his chest and cold sweat trickled from his brow. His beady eyes flitted twitchingly between the white-lined road, and the rear-view mirror. Had they seen him? Was he being tailed? He could not be sure. His head grew heavy and his sight grew dim. He’d have to stop for the night. The deserted ‘Last Chance Motel’ wore its garish neon sign like a halo. But would this fateful evening turn out to be heavenly, or hellish? Only time would tell.</p>\n<p>The car pulled into the drive and stopped. Dead. Mack, trying to hide his nerves, sauntered, as nonchalantly as his present state would allow, to the door marked ‘Office.’ He rapped on the door thrice, but hearing nothing, pushed the squeaking door open and peered inside. To his shock and horror, there, on the floor, in a pool of blood, lay the cold, lifeless body of a dead man. His eyes stared, mute and blank, at the ceiling. Mack was shaken, but not stirred. He immediately set about the task of rifling through the drawers, but the dead man was ‘going commando’, so he settled for rifling through his pockets instead, all the while scanning the room for the hotel safe. The safe was in the small ante-room at the back, but, alas for Mack, it had already given up its treasures to an earlier guest. Mack turned on his heel and beat a hasty retreat. The powerful engine roared to life and the tyres screeched their goodbyes. Back on the road again, it wasn’t long before that old feeling started to gnaw at him once more. Jolene, Jolene…Jolene! Jo-lene! She could have her choice of men, but Mack could never love again. She was the only one for him…Jolene. Had it been her all along? Had she toyed with him as she had toyed with so many of her other boys? Her ‘toy boys’? He’d been played all right. She’d played him like a dime-store glockenspiel. She’d played him like a 12 inch extended dance mix of ‘Walk Like An Egyptian.’ She’d played him like a game of Craps.</p>\n<p>He grasped the wheel harder until his knuckles showed white in the dashboard light. He glanced furtively at his watch. Yep, still there. He checked the time on the dashboard clock. 12 midnight. The Witching Hour. He looked up to see a blood-red moon dripping vermillion light and staining the bayou. Somewhere in the distance a coyote howled and an owl gave a hoot.</p>\n<p>Did Jolene give one? Mack doubted it. He vowed that tomorrow would be another day. After all, he mused, what does not kill us makes us stronger. There were, of course, plenty more fish in the sea, and Mack knew that a woman was like a bus, if you miss one there’ll be another along shortly. And when all is said and done, it is better to have loved a short girl than never to have loved a tall. </p>\n<p>The long, black-windowed limousine cruised the foreboding highway like a dark angel of death, pausing only once to refuel its insatiable long-haul tanks, and once for Mack to take a wizz. “Tomorrow,” he swore to himself, “tomorrow, I will start over.” And how prophetic his words would prove to be. For, as yet unbeknownst to Mack, the agency had rung with the news that Brad Pitt would take the role after all.<br />\nMack was therefore free to pursue “other projects.”</p>\n<p><b>What Did You See, My Blue Eyed Son?</b></p>\n<p>Moto-sighing around my recently adopted Isaan homeland, armed only with a camera and a smile, I have seen some wondrous sights, had not a few exotic adventures, and been privileged to have been stirred by the meeting of some of the most beautiful people imaginable. At least one of these meetings will haunt me forever. </p>\n<p>Taking the ‘path less traveled’ and veering off the main road, I found myself on a side street lined with shop-houses overlooking the railway line. Suddenly I caught sight of a pair of child’s legs hanging limply from a young mother’s lap. The sort of legs you see shakily supporting the walking skeletons enduring African droughts. The sort of legs where the skin wraps tightly around the bone, proving beyond doubt that there had never been any flesh to begin with. This child had always been that thin.</p>\n<p>I stopped the bike and gingerly approached the mother. She eyed me curiously, neither of us knowing exactly what I was doing there. I motioned toward the child and asked in my ridiculous Thai: “Sabidee Mai?” She shook her head. “Mai Sabidee.” Not okay.<br />\nLost for words, I mimed wiping my forehead, as if the April afternoon heat were the least of the child’s worries. “Chai” she agreed, and wiped his forehead. “Hot.” The dribble on the little one’s chin and the vacant eyes bespoke a lifetime of waiting. Waiting for attention. Waiting for food. Waiting to ‘get better.’ Waiting for an end? </p>\n<p>I took the only note I had in my wallet and offered it to the mother with a wai. The smile returned me held no shame. I had added my light to the sum of light. There was nothing left to say.

And when I run, I feel His pleasure. Not to run would be to hold God in contempt.\"</b></p>\n<p><i>---- Eric Liddle, 1901--1945. Gold Medal winner at the 1924 Olympic games in Paris and the subject of the film \"Chariots of Fire.\" </i></p></blockquote>\n<p>On my way back to Korea on August 19th after visiting my family for a month, I turned my \'personal entertainment system\' as Air Canada likes to call it to the movie section. After passing through mindless movies starring Jennifer Aniston or Linsay Lohan, I finally settled on one of my favorite films--- the 1981 Academy Award winner, Chariots of Fire. </p>\n<p>In one memorable scene, sprinter and Christian Missionary Eric Liddle argues with his sister about him going to do his missionary work in China instead of running in the Olympics. Part of Liddle\'s extraordinary response is the above quotation. </p>\n<p>Now that got me thinking. How many of us can say something like that about the things we do? How many of us can honestly say that \"God made me for a purpose.\" How many of us can honestly say that \"When I teach, I feel His pleasure.\" Unfortunately, not very many. </p>\n<p>You don\'t have a Christian Missionary to believe that God made you for a purpose. You don\'t have to be deeply religious--- or religious at all--- to believe or to sense that when you do your job well you feel the Heavenly Father\'s pleasure. At least I don\'t. I am a self-described agnostic, but I can feel it when the Heavenly Spirits are moved and satisfied with the job I do. I can also feel their disappointment when I stink the joint out. This is but one thing that keeps me doing my best in the classroom.</p>\n<p>In his mammoth best-seller \"The Purpose Driven Life\", Pastor Rick Warren of the Sattleback Church, clearly tells us that we were put on this earth for a purpose; an explicit and specific reason why all of us--- every living being--- was born. Many of us may be the result of a night or three of wild passion in some long-forgotten hotel room, but once born we have a specific purpose on this earth. All of us may have come from our father\'s balls and our mother\'s womb; God did intend it that way, but once born and on this earth we have a purpose, although we may not know what that purpose is. </p>\n<p>We may have to search for it, sacrifice for it, suffer for it, but our life\'s purpose is always there, always with us, and always within us. For each one of us it\'s different and we must look within our tortured souls and follow our fractured hearts to know our true purpose in life. </p>\n<p>Teachers are put into classrooms for a purpose: To positively contribute to the lives of our students and to add whatever they can to the teaching and learning experience. It\'s not about taking from the experience; teaching is mainly about giving back. </p>\n<p>The Purpose Driven Teacher is, of course, purpose driven; but he is also self-motivated and results oriented. The Purpose Driven Teacher does not sit back and wait for instructions. I awake each morning not with a sense of dread--- \"Oh God, what am I going to do today?\" I awake each morning with an acute sense of purpose and responsibility. I know exactly what I must do long before stepping into the classroom, and I know how to get it done. I do not have to wait for instructions. </p>\n<p>The Purpose Driven Teacher takes Stephen Covey\'s advice and \"begins with the end in mind\", one of the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. He knows where he wants his students to be in one month, six months, and a year from where he begins. </p>\n<p>The Purpose Driven Teacher guides his students towards progression by using a pedagogical method that takes them where they need to go quickly, effectively, and efficiently. With a Purpose Driven Teacher, there is no time to waste; every moment counts. Each lesson must have a purpose and must yield positive results that can be quantitatively measured. If not, then what is the educational point of the lesson? </p>\n<p>A good EFL teacher uses a specific process which leads to progress. Consistency and continuity are two very important educational concepts which lead to learner progress. Language learners rely on instructors who are consistent with their lessons and use the concept of continuity to build upon previous lessons. If the teacher must know what to do and how to do it prior to stepping into the classroom, so should the students. The Purpose Driven Teacher makes sure that the success of the students is built into any pedagogical method that the teacher employs. Success in the classroom should not simply be hoped for, but actively sought. Success is a constant and continuous striving by both teachers and learners. </p>\n<p>Let\'s not forget, however, that the Purpose Driven Teacher is also emotional and uses his emotions for positive effect in the classroom. The Purpose Driven Teacher is not the Tin man from The Wizard of Oz and should never be.</p>\n<p>Remembering a particular incident for which I allowed my emotions to get the better of me, four days before my scheduled departure for home this summer, my Korean co-teacher pulled out the contract and asked me to read a specific clause. After doing so she said that according to the contract I have but one week vacation in the summer and one week vacation in the winter. (I teach at a public school where six weeks holiday in the summer and six weeks holiday in the winter are the norm.) Until recently, vacation time has not been questioned. </p>\n<p>The co-teacher also informed me that if I went home, (remember, I was going back to visit my sick mother), I might not get paid for the time I was away. Needless to say, I went ballistic on the poor girl. Telling her that this was the wrong time to bring up such contractual nonsense, I grabbed the contract from her hands and tore it up before depositing it in the wastebasket. This wasn\'t the first time a co-teacher tried to pull this nonsense. I did receive my salary for the time I was away, (I am on a 12 month government contract), and I\'m pretty sure that that incident will not repeat itself, (at least not at this school.) </p>\n<p>I am neither proud nor ashamed at what I did that day, but it was necessary. The Korean co-teacher was sticking her nose where it didn\'t belong and was being terribly insensitive at a time when sensitivity and compassion should have ruled the moment. This incident was also a perfect example of what happens when contracts (or mere pieces of paper) are placed above that of the needs of people. What is in the teacher\'s heart is always far more important and essential than mere words on a page. A teacher\'s sick mother always takes precedence over a contractual clause. And above all, the law is unyielding and unbending (not to mention straightforward) when a young Korean co-teacher suddenly becomes too big for her britches. </p>\n<p>Stepping into the classroom with a clear purpose can very well be the deciding factor in whether or not the learners and the teacher succeeds of fails. Doing anything with a clear purpose and having a plan for success is a solid indication that a purpose driven person knows exactly what to do and how to get it done. </p>\n<p>Eric Liddle may have felt God\'s pleasure with each step he took, but it doesn\'t have to be God\'s pleasure I feel in or out of the classroom. It can be anyone close to you. A parent, a relative, a friend, a student, a co-worker, even your own pleasure. The pleasure in a job or lesson done well should not be limited to the Almighty. To share in the success of others, and to invite the pleasure of others in our success, is to be taken out of our selfish human behavior and placed squarely into the realm of unlimited potential and possibilities. </p>\n<p>Not to do this would be to hold God and all that we hold dear in contempt.</p>','','2008-08-31 21:31:40',1,'2008-08-31 21:31:40','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(74,4,'Honor thy mother and thy father','honor-thy-mother-and-thy-father','family, redemption, being a man and a priceless gift','When you reach my age--- I recently turned 49--- there are certain letters and phone calls I dread.

The reason I am saying this is because mom\'s health has been deteriorating. We talked to her doctors and her MS is taking a toll on her, so we recommend that you come into town. Also, Rhonda [my other sister] and I decided that we don\'t want her to know, so we didn\'t tell her that we spoke to the doctors or what the doctor had said. So PLEASE don\'t tell her.\"</i><br />\n________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>I was planning to spend the summer in the Philippines with my girlfriend Mila, (maybe my ex-girlfriend now.) I had met Mila in February and we had also spent two wonderful weeks together in Subic Bay in May. We were planning to stay in her home province of Eastern Samar, meet her father, and plan our future. I had recently told my family about Mila and the plans we had when reality struck with Rena\'s letter.</p>\n<p>My mother has had multiple sclerosis for the last 22 years. She is confined to a wheelchair in a nursing home. Her MS has gotten progressively worse recently to the point where she can no longer eat solid food and has lost the ability to clear her throat. As Rhonda said to me on the phone, she can choke at any time. Rhonda was in tears as she told me that \"mom can go at any time.\" Not the thing I\'d like to hear when I\'m half a world away.</p>\n<p>I immediately emailed Mila and told her about my mother. We would have to put our summer plans on hold. I asked Mila if she wanted to come to Montreal with me and meet my family. She said she would be interested but expressed concerns that it would take too long to get a passport and secure a tourist visa for Canada--- three to six months, Mila was told. I doubted it would take that long. She had recently quit her job as a waitress to look after her own father who recently lost his wife. However, Mila did ask me for 18,000 pesos for a passport, visa, a cell phone--- she lost her old one on the bus ride to Samar--- transportation to and from Manila for herself and her father, bills, and food. I sent her just over 22,000 pesos to be sure she had enough.</p>\n<p>Now I know what you\'re thinking. Sending money to a Filipina? A Filipina that I had known for only four months? A Filipina that I had spent all of three weeks with? As a friend said to me one evening while telling him this story, I was thinking with my crotch. It is nice to know that at 49 my crotch can still think. We had made plans to spend our lives together. We had discussed getting married and having a child. Mila is not some bar girl with a list of Johns a mile long. She\'s not some \'Kiri\', (a morally loose woman in Tagalog), with three kids from three different men. She\'s single, childless, and was raised a devout Catholic in the countryside. She\'s a traditional woman who dreams of a simple and conventional life complete with a house, a loving husband, children, and maybe a dog. But from the moment my money began to streak through the Western Union wires, I began to have doubts. You know the kind; that sick feeling at the pit of your stomach that says, \"Oh boy, I hope I haven\'t been taken.\" So off my money went with perhaps a bit of my dignity and self-respect.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday, June 3rd, I received this email from Mila. It read in part,<br />\n________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Dear sweetheart,</p>\n<p>Thank you co\'s you\'ll understand my situation. You understand how hard to get visa and passport sweetheart. What if you go to Canada spend more time to your family, especially your mom. If you coming by beginning of July we can\'t see each other because my aunti try to invite me and my father to take vacation on their province.... it\'s been a long time we haven\'t seen my other cousin....</p>\n<p>.... can I visit first my love ones while I have a little bit time to spend to them? Spend your time first to your family like what I did and then come here to P.I.... I\'ll be back in Manila on 24th of July from my aunti\'s province.... can you please change your schedule? Be patience on me. It\'s just now, after this no more, I most focus on you.... I miss you always sweetheart.... please don\'t get upset....\"<br />\n________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Quite frankly, I didn\'t understand. I fired back an angry email asking her if this was why she needed the money. A vacation? Not a passport and tourist visa to visit my family? I told her how much I missed her too. I told her how much I needed her, how much I needed her love, touch, and reassurance now that my mother was gravely ill. I told her that she can take that vacation at anytime in the next five, ten, or fifteen years. In fact, we could have taken it together. I told her to stop treating our relationship as a joke, that a relationship is serious at times and needs dedication and commitment. I told her that we both need to sacrifice if we are to have a beautiful future. I also told her that I felt I was taken for a fool, and if she was not going to spend my money for the things she needed, then send my money back. I also sent our last few emails between Mila and myself to my father and two sisters for their opinion. </p>\n<p>On June 6th, I received this response from Mila. It read in part,<br />\n_________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Dear Steve,</p>\n<p>I been reading your emails, those words make me upset. Why? Coz you judge me already about the money you gave me. Did I tell you I will spend your money while me and my family going to stay at my aunti\'s province? and this is not totally vacation. My family have a problem also that we need to talk about and fix it.... We both know that it\'s not easy.... You care too much to your family but you don\'t care about my family.... If you love your family, I love my family too.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t tell my family I have money from you. I know that money is for my passport and visa like you told me, but it seems you don\'t trust me. Yet you are old enough. \"You should make your own decision.\" \"Grow up, be a man.\" \"You don\'t have your own decision.\" \"Be independent.\" (Quotation marks inserted by me for emphasis and future discussion.) If you love me, you should love my love one or my family. And stop saying you mother is dying.... I\'ll never take advantage of you and your generosity. Your thoughts was wrong. You don\'t know me very well so don\'t judge me. </p>\n<p>If you want a good relationship be understanding. I want my boyfriend understanding, patience, and loving. Everything has change because our situation....\"<br />\n________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Mercifully I\'ll stop here. Mila\'s last two emails to me--- especially this one--- led to my family\'s wholehearted rejection of her as my girlfriend and a potential wife. My family\'s unanimous verdict: She\'s bad news. Stay the hell away from her. She\'s no good for me, and she\'s no good for anybody. Ouch! That hurt. I can only imagine how Mila must feel.</p>\n<p>It was never my intention to air dirty laundry with this column. Nor is it my intention to feel sorry for myself or elicit the sympathy of others. Everyone goes through illness and death in the family. Everyone has gone through the emotional upheaval of a relationship breakup. I am simply trying to understand why this is happening and what important lessons I can glean from it. </p>\n<p>Pick my girlfriends more carefully? That would be helpful. Be more trusting of others? How do you think I got into this mess in the first place? Any lesson learned from this experience must go much deeper than that. Any lesson learned from this would have to include a profound understanding of the human condition and encompass a universal truth so far-reaching and steeped in history so as to eliminate any doubt about the legitimacy and veracity of the lesson itself. The lesson to which I refer was taught to the Jewish people thousands of years ago. It was imparted by God to Moses and brought down Mount Sinai on stone tablets in the form of the 10 commandments. It is the forth commandment. It is but six words long, and the lesson is this:</p>\n<p>\"Honor Thy Mother and Thy Father.\"</p>\n<p>Honor your mother and father. Respect your family. Know your roots. Know where you came from. It seems so simple, yet it is not. Since time began billions of people have sought to do this. Some have succeeded, many more have not. The libraries and bookstores are replete with volumes of literature about bent and broken people; sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, tortured by the reality of having let their parents down. </p>\n<p>\"Honor Thy Mother and Thy Father.\" A great lesson to learn. Maybe the greatest.</p>\n<p>\"Grow up, be a man.\"</p>\n<p>Mila\'s words, as painful as they are, must not be viewed through the prism of personal pain and sorrow for a love lost. While I understand that these words were essentially written in anger towards me, it would be helpful to see a much bigger picture; a picture that also includes the fragile phenomenon of human psychology combined with the philosophical awareness of how history and theology merge to direct man\'s thinking.</p>\n<p>Say what you want about women, especially Thais and Filipinas, but it can\'t be easy asking for help. It couldn\'t have been easy for Mila to ask me for 18,000 pesos. A smart and proud 29 year old woman who had been working hard since the age of 14. As Garret Keizer in his book \"HELP: The Original Human<br />\nDilemma\" says,</p>\n<p>\"To solicit help is like coming naked to the door of a stranger after having been assaulted and stripped of one\'s clothing. To come to that same door again, if only to says thanks for the blanket, is to be naked once more, in memory and imagination if not in fact.\" (p. 158.)</p>\n<p>Except Mila was penniless and asking for money. That could not have been easy. At least, it shouldn\'t be easy. That I probably made her feel like a beggar by asking that she itemize exactly what she needed the money for may not have helped in the trust department. That I became very suspicious when I suspected that the money I sent was being used for purposes other than originally intended also didn\'t help matters, regardless of whether my suspicions had any merit. If asking for help is difficult, then giving it comfortably and without question must be just as difficult. Maybe more so. With few exceptions, the human animal has never been comfortable with giving help without question. </p>\n<p>Did I expect too much from Mila? Was I too tough on her? After all, it\'s not every day that a poor fisherman\'s daughter from the Philippines can get to walk around with $500.00 in her pocket. Cut her some slack? Go easy on her? Let her enjoy herself? Then again, where\'s the personal responsibility here? The self-respect with which Mila was supposedly raised? Love, at least true love, involves two people who bring out the best in each other. It\'s a situation in which each partner looks to each others strengths in an effort to cultivate a better and stronger relationship. They never exploit each others weaknesses. So why do I feel that my weakness, my vulnerability in wanting and needing to care for Mila, was exploited? </p>\n<p>I am trying, however poorly, to see things from Mila\'s point of view. Then her words come back to me like a knife as it slices through my skin, my blood pouring out like a spigot.</p>\n<p>\"Grow up, be a man.\"</p>\n<p>That is something you say to someone who DOESN\'T honor thy mother and thy father. That is something you say to someone who DOESN\'T respect his parents and siblings. That is something you say to someone who has disowned his family. You don\'t say that to someone who has sought his family\'s advice on a troubled relationship. </p>\n<p>Show me a man who doesn\'t honor his mother and father, and I will show you a man who will not honor his wife and children. Show me a man who doesn\'t respect his parents and siblings, and I\'m willing to bet that this same man will not respect his wife and children. A boy who has been properly raised to respect his parents will more than likely become a loving and caring husband and father. </p>\n<p>\"Grow up, be a man.\" \"You don\'t have your own decision.\" \"Be independent.\"</p>\n<p>This is coming from a Filipina. This is coming from someone raised to honor and respect the sanctity of family and kinship. This is coming from someone who has been employed as a factory worker, a nanny, and a waitress since the age of 14 to help support her parents and four brothers. This is coming from someone who stayed home for over a year to care for her dying mother. This is coming from someone who, for the 29 years she\'s been on this earth, has heard little else from her society except the fact that family and religion are the be all and end all of Filipino life.</p>\n<p>That is why Mila\'s letter was so disturbing and frightening. It seemed to contradict her own upbringing. It was also a terrifying look into what she thinks a man should be and how he should behave, especially in relation to his family. I can only hope that Mila is not like the millions and millions of women everywhere who prefer the bad boys in life; men with tattoos and body piercings who swear and ride Harley-Davidsons. Men who wouldn\'t think twice (or once) about telling their parents to go to hell. Men who wouldn\'t think twice (or once) about pissing away their children\'s inheritance on beer and bar girls. The world is screwed up enough because of these people. There is something wonderful to be said about a man who respects his parents and is unafraid to seek the counsel and wisdom of his family, however old-fashioned and antiquated that notion may now be. </p>\n<p>\"Grow up, be a man.\"</p>\n<p>That is something Mila should be saying to her four brothers, neither of whom are giving their father any money to pay his bills or to help purchase their father\'s high-blood pressure medication. That responsibility fell solely on Mila. Grow up, be a man is not something she should be saying to someone who recently sent her the equivalent of four months wages so that bills can be paid, a passport and cell phone can be bought, and high-blood pressure medication can be purchased. I wasn\'t expecting gratitude from Mila, but a thank you for trying to be a good man would have been nice. As Garret Keizer would have said, if it\'s gratitude you want, then get a dog. </p>\n<p>Transferring the anger she\'s currently feeling for her brothers onto me, anger she is not allowed to express in Philippine society, may be psychologically understandable and culturally expedient, but it should never be tolerated. It\'s fine to help someone in need. It\'s nice to give money every now and then to someone who desperately needs it. It makes us feel good. However, there\'s a line one should never cross. The line is this: The feeling of entitlement. The feeling that somewhere there is someone who owes them. No one is entitled to anything. Yes Mila, I would be more than happy to help you for a few months, but just because we love each other don\'t you ever think that you are entitled to my money. You are a far better person than that.</p>\n<p>I would like to think that Mila seeks in a life partner the very thing that she herself was raised to be: A respectful and responsible daughter to her parents, and a caring and supportive sister to her four brothers. I would not have chosen her as a potential life partner otherwise. After all, isn\'t that a very large part of what true love is? To look into the heart and soul of the one you love and realize and accept with grace, humility, and open mindedness that he is also an interconnected part of a whole? An interdependent member of a family? A respectful and responsible son to his parents and a caring brother to his two sisters? </p>\n<p>I can understand statements written in anger such as \"If you love me you will...\", \"You don\'t know me so don\'t judge me\", and \"My family is important too.\" These are words that lovers shout and shoot at each other everywhere in hundreds of different languages.</p>\n<p>I can handle my inadequacies and shortcomings as a boyfriend, as friend, or a teacher. After all, I gave up on being perfect years ago. I can work on my lack of patience, my lack of trust in others, or my quick temper. To be criticized for these things hurt, but I can get over it. There is, however, one thing I can never get over. One thing no one ever really gets over. Being labelled a bad son, an inadequate daughter, a horrible brother, or a terrible sister is something each and every one of us take to our graves. I have been on dates with women who were reduced to tears when asked to tell me about a time in their past when they were labelled less than desirable by a parent or a sibling. People have been known to spend years on the psychiatrist\'s couch if they\'ve ever had the misfortune of being branded a bad son or daughter. We never get over that.</p>\n<p>That is why words like, \"You should make your own decision, grow up be a man\" and \"You don\'t have your own decision, be independent\" cut right to the bone. These words are an attempt to separate a man from his family, perhaps to gain some sort of financial advantage. It goes right to the heart and soul of what it means to be a son, a daughter, a brother, a sister, and an interdependent part of a whole. It is an unrealistic dream, a Hollywood fantasy, a cruel perception of man. This dangerous perception of rugged individualism is one of the main reasons why so many women worldwide are raising fatherless children. This female fantasy of the rugged and detached man as an individual devoid of purpose and commitment is a mental illness in far too many women. It is robbing the next generation of such important concepts and life lessons like honor, honesty, respect for others, personal responsibility, commitment to others, hope, faith, love, and the historical and social reality that we are all connected. It is another way of saying,</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t Honor Thy Mother and Thy Father.\"</p>\n<p>Don\'t listen to your parents or your brothers and sisters. Don\'t respect their advice and wisdom. Yes, making your own decisions is very important in life but only after consulting with those we love, honor, and respect--- like our family. In the end it is only our family that we have. Friends come and go. Lovers come and go. Wives leave husbands, husbands leave wives. We make money, we lose money. We get hired for a job, we get fired from a job. Cars lose their value, houses get repossessed. When we cut through all the clutter and bullshit that is our life, family is all we have left. This haven in a heartless world, this bridge over troubled water; whatever metaphor we choose to use, for the lucky few, family is all there is. Once we lose that, we lose everything. Time and family are the only things in this world not replaceable. </p>\n<p>I spent the first three months of our relationship making my own decisions about Mila. I spent a few thousand dollars going to the Philippines twice, staying in nice hotels with her, eating delicious food, and was planning a third visit to see her. I spent the first three months of our relationship not telling my family about her because I was waiting for the right time. I was also afraid, terribly afraid, that this would happen. Making your own decisions about matters of the heart, especially regarding a woman from another country, can cost a man his life savings. We have all seen that in places like Thailand and the Philippines. </p>\n<p>I hope Mila is not expecting me to say to my parents and sisters, \"Piss off mom and dad! Up yours Rena and Rhonda! Mila is my woman now. Who cares what you think. If you don\'t like her, too bad. We\'re going to elope and live on the beautiful Island of Samar where we\'ll raise animals and grow our own vegetables. We don\'t need anything except our love.\" </p>\n<p>To the potential amazement of many, I am not looking for a woman who will demand or expect me to do that. There is nothing more unromantic than two people who need to elope. Another Hollywood fantasy. Nothing more ugly than a man and a woman who cannot find a way of sharing their love with their respective families. Nothing more disrespectful than that.</p>\n<p>Isn\'t this what God had intended? A God-fearing and church going woman like Mila must know this. Isn\'t this what God wants us to do? Go to our family for advice and wisdom in such times as sadness and uncertainty? Isn\'t this how we attempt to take that extra step forward, to take love to the next level, that spiritual level where we invite love ones from both sides to share, celebrate, and rejoice in what is, and can be, a truly special partnership? How can love--- real love, true love, be otherwise?</p>\n<p>\"Honor Thy Mother and Thy Father.\"</p>\n<p>This is one of the reasons I wanted to marry Mila. This is why I wanted so desperately to have her share her life with me. This is why I wanted so much to dedicate my life to her. This is why I wanted to live and work with her. This is why I wanted to raise children with her. Because she honors her mother and father. Because she respects her family and learns so much from them. Because she is a beautiful, loving, and caring daughter to her father and sister to her brothers. Mila honors her family because they raised her well. If there is a better reason to marry a woman and dedicate your life to her, I wish I knew what it was.</p>\n<p>Our relationship was not just about me and Mila. It never was. I was so looking forward to meeting her father this summer. I was so looking forward to shaking his hand and thanking him. I was so looking forward to telling him what I\'ve been meaning to tell him since I met Mila, the very same thing that every father-in-law should hear and every son-in-law should say.</p>\n<p>\"Thank you for helping to raise such a beautiful daughter, Sir. Thank you for helping to raise such a kind-hearted, honest, caring, and responsible young woman; the kind of woman I am so honored to dedicate my life to. Your daughter is the woman I\'ve been searching for my whole life, and I can only hope that through my actions and hard work I will one day prove worthy of her. Thank you for raising her with values that are both traditional and contemporary; values with which we ourselves will raise our children. It will not be easy, I realize, but let me assure you, Sir, that your daughter and I will work together to make sure that we have everything we need. Again, thank you for raising such a beautiful daughter.\"</p>\n<p>I wish I could have met her mother and said the same thing. I was also looking forward to Mila meeting my parents and saying something similar; something from her heart. Not that I truly deserve it, but I was hoping that Mila too would say to my parents what all daughter-in-laws should say.</p>\n<p>\"Thank you for raising such a wonderful son. Because of your parenting I know that your son will make a loving and caring husband and father. Your son is the man I have been looking for my whole life. I can only hope to one day become a good wife to him and a good mother to your grandchildren. Thank you for raising him with the values that I too think are important: Honesty, hard work, responsibility, accountability, loyalty and commitment to others, love of family, discipline, and dedication. Yes, at times he can be too emotional, but he truly loves from his heart. He\'s not perfect, nobody is. But he tries hard to be a good person and I love him for that. So thank you for raising such a good son, and I hope to one day be the daughter-in-law that you have always wanted.\"</p>\n<p>Those are some nice and important sentiments to share with future in-laws. Imagine if Mila would have emailed my family with such touching and heart-felt words. Imagine if everyone did that. When we honor our mother and father, we also honor our in-laws. After all, they too are mothers and fathers. When we honor and respect our mother and father, we honor and respect mothers and fathers everywhere.</p>\n<p>This honoring of mothers and fathers is what God wants us to do. This sharing of our love with those who matter most to us, is a priceless gift that we not only give to ourselves and our parents, it is a priceless gift that we pass on to the next generation. It is one of the ways in which we become more responsible. </p>\n<p>It is difficult to find something positive in Mila\'s last letter, but I think I have. On a very warm evening in May in Olongapo Beach, the Philippines, Mila and I lay in each others arms talking the way lovers do--- making plans and looking forward to the future. She thanked me for giving her the greatest gift anyone has ever given her; the opportunity to go back to her home province and take care of her 77 year old father while who had been very lonely since the death of Mila\'s mother. I was happy to have given her this time with her father and to send her the money she needed to do so. As long as it was only for a few months and didn\'t go on indefinitely.</p>\n<p>I was profoundly moved by Mila\'s words on that warm May evening. But as I now think back I realize that while time and money to take care of her father may have been a nice gift, I had a much nicer gift for her; a gift of tradition, warmth, hope, and love. A gift that has stood the test of time. A gift that never tires of giving and is both grateful and humble in receiving. It is the gift of a man with a proper upbringing. The gift of a man who honors and respects his family. The gift of a potential husband who will deeply honor and love his wife and children. That is the greatest gift a man can give. But like far too many women, Mila seemed too quick to take the cash and too slow to accept the man with the good upbringing. That\'s a shame.</p>\n<p>As I continue to read the angry words that Mila and I shot back at each other via the Internet, much of my anger has now turned to sadness; a deep and profound sadness at what could have been. I\'m constantly searching my mind for what went so wrong with something that, for a while, felt so right. The introspection with which I torture myself includes such heart-wrenching questions as, did I overreact? Am I wrong? Did I blow it? Is Mila really decent, honest, moral, and ethical, and I just don\'t see it? Was my family\'s almost complete rejection of her too premature? Did we give her a fair chance? Or enough time? And if I am wrong, if I did overreact, what do I do now?</p>\n<p>Although my true gift for Mila fell far short of its intended objective, I have been thinking of her potential gift to me. What in that horrible, offensive belch of a letter can I see as a gift? Certainly not her angry words. Not the vicious judgement of my lack of manhood. Not the seeming lack of compassion for what my family and I are currently going through. Not her selfishness and self-centeredness that screams at the top of its lungs. She must regret that letter deeply. Anyone with a conscience would.</p>\n<p>Here\'s Mila\'s gift to me; a priceless and very painful gift, but I gift I accept with humility and a heavy heart. It is the gift of redemption. A second chance. A chance to make amends. It is the extremely painful realization that I have not been a very good son and brother. While teaching in Korea these last 27 months, I shamefully admit that I have not called my parents often enough; not emailed my father and sisters often enough; and I certainly have not told each and every one of them that I love them nearly enough. There is no excuse for that. More often than not whenever I call my mother she doesn\'t know who I am anymore. Sometimes she hangs up on me, saying that I have the wrong number. My mother doesn\'t recognize my voice anymore. Since Rena and Rhonda told me about my mother\'s worsening condition, I\'ve been calling her every Monday night, (Tuesday morning in Korea), when my sisters are there to take the call. It\'s nice talking to all of them.</p>\n<p>In her heavy-handed criticism of my reliance on my father and sisters in times of crisis and sorrow, Mila has paradoxically driven me back into the bosom of my family\'s warmth, love, acceptance, and protection. Another priceless gift. </p>\n<p>So as I prepare to go home for a month this July and August, as I prepare to see my family for the first time in 27 months, I will do something I have never done before. Thanks to Mila, I will, for the first time, apologize to my parents for not being the son I could have been. I will apologize to my sisters for not being the brother I could have been. As my mother lay in her nursing home bed, her body ravaged by 22 years of multiple sclerosis, her mind numbed by drugs too numerous to count, I will take her hand in mine and beg her forgiveness for not calling often enough. After I apologize, I will promise to be a better son. I will call regularly, just to say hello. I will be grateful for the loving and caring family that I have. </p>\n<p>Not being the boyfriend Mila wanted me to be? As painful as that is, I will deal with that. There is something far more important in life: Being a good son and brother. Being a good daughter and sister. Being the son and brother the world expects me to be. </p>\n<p>There remains the question, the age old question, of how to honor your mother and father. How to give your family the respect, reverence, and veneration that is their due. I can only answer with this: By living well. By living the values that they have passed on to you. By taking their stories and giving them life and breath. By listening to them. By learning from them. By loving them. Loving them because of who they are, and accepting them in spite of who they are. And by making great choices. Choices based upon their imparted wisdom and life experience. Because in the end we all are living legacies of our parents. We can\'t get away from that. No matter how hard we try. We can move to Thailand, we can teach English in Korea. We can volunteer our time in Africa, or we can fall in love with someone from the Philippines. It doesn\'t matter because in the end we are all living legacies of our parents. We are all responsible for doing our family proud. It is a tall order, a daunting task.

After deliberating with one another about this \"problem\", the missionaries notice a pile of bananas by one of the villager\'s huts. Picking up a banana, one of the missionaries began to \"advise\" the villagers on birth control by unravelling a condom over it, much to the delight and giggles of the villagers. The missionaries left a large supply of condoms and told the villagers that they would be back in exactly one year to witness the progress being made in the area of birth control. </p>\n<p>When they returned a year later they noticed that just as many babies were born that year as were born the previous year. The missionaries couldn\'t understand this. After all, they had left enough condoms and even demonstrated how to use them. \"What happened?\", one of the missionaries asked a female villager.</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t know\", she responded. \"When our men want to have relations we put the condom on the banana just like you showed us, but we still have babies. Maybe your way just don\'t work for us.\"<br />\n_____________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Well, maybe. My column last month titled, \"Understanding Culture Or The CULTure of Understanding\", outined a problem that many foreign EFL teachers have when working and living in another country; namely, that every now and then we come across ethnocentric people who believe that their culture and society are vastly superior to anything the \"socially depraved\" West has ever produced. There are two sides to this debate. This is the other side.</p>\n<p>On www.pusanweb.com  a thread was started last month by a teacher who wanted to bring into class feminist literature because he believed that his female middle school students possessed a negative body image. I argued that this is overstepping a foreign EFL teacher\'s boundaries. This negative body image is a universal phenomenon among adolescents and, in time, they will get over it. I also argued that if any feminist material should make its way into a Korean middle school classroom, it should be brought in by Korean teachers, not foreign ones. </p>\n<p>To back up my point, on April 16, 2008, I wrote an op-ed piece for the Korea Times titled, \"Westernization of Korea?\" in which I argued that some of the foreign EFL teachers are here not only to teach English but to \"proselytize the flock\", to indoctrinate their students into their way of thinking and behaving.</p>\n<p>In my column for the Korea Times I wrote,</p>\n<p>\"Examples of this indoctrination are native English teachers in private language institutes and universities \"advising\" Korean women on how to leave their husband or boyfriend, to English teachers who brazenly bring feminist writings,<br />\nrevolutionist literature, and material which openly advocates radical social change into a public school classroom with the intention of disseminating this to impressionable 13 and 14 year old boys and girls.\" I have personally witnessed this over the years.</p>\n<p>Over the next few days I received a dozen emails, mostly from foreign EFL teachers who took me to task for my belief that some EFL teachers are here as cultural imperialists or post-colonialists. Gerry from Britian wrote,<br />\n__________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"It is my duty as an Englishman to explain Western culture and CIVILIZED behaviour as we know it, (the letter writer\'s emphasis), to teach young Korean girls good hygiene, (that they obviously lack), to teach them manners, (that they all lack.)</p>\n<p>Western Culture --- Yes please and as quickly as possible.</p>\n<p>As a British man, I can see all the good around the world that we introduced, from the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa to Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.</p>\n<p>I will continue to educate young people in South Korea about the importance of adopting Western (British) culture.

He goes on to say that,</p>\n<p>\"Teaching English is a political act. One cannot use the public-private dichotomy to try and whitewash people into believing that one\'s English curriculum is somehow not politically and ideologically based, and that it will not influence Korean language and culture and language learner identity.</p>\n<p>To teach English in Korea, no matter how you censor it, is antithetical to Korea\'s socio-cultural existence. English culture must be taught with the language. That alone guarantees, for example, \'anti-gibun\' responses and results.</p>\n<p>The entire history of English teaching in Korea has been one long act of religious, cultural, and economic imperialism.... isn\'t it at least time for teachers to be honest and up front about what they are teaching, and why? Instead of embedding things within and beneath the surface of \"appropriate\" materials?\"<br />\n_________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Jason ends his long and eloquent letter with another example of how we foreigners must teach Koreans how to use soap and water.<br />\n__________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"What about another lesson I made about hygiene and diseases? Was it wrong that I taught the students about how to wash their hands using soap, hot water, and for at least 20 seconds? Or to cover their noses and mouths when coughing/sneezing? If the bird flu ever hits Korea the young and the elderly will die on a scale never before seen in this country.... I like to think I may have saved some lives with that lesson...\"<br />\n__________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Ah yes, Jason and Gerry to the rescue. What\'s next, are they going to teach the youngsters how to wipe their arse after a late afternoon poopie? Any banana and condom lesson on the horizon there, Skippy? And what\'s with foreign EFL teachers and hygiene? It\'s not as if we Westerners exude the scent of a pine forest whenever we sweat, burp, or fart. Obviously Jason, Gerry, and other foreign English teachers like them, don\'t seem to realize how seriously Koreans take bathing. With pubic bath houses on many street corners, it is a large part of Korean culture for families and friends to spend hours in them at least a few times a week. </p>\n<p>As far as oral hygiene is concerned, Koreans brush their teeth at least four times a day, sometimes more. (That\'s at least two or three times more than your average EFL teacher.) Koreans are also known to bring their toothbrush to work so that they can brush their teeth after lunch. I\'ve met EFL teachers here in Korea and elsewhere who, with their unkempt hair, shaggy beards,<br />\nand tattered clothes, look like they haven\'t washed anything in a week. (And the men are even worse!) So please spare us any lectures of how we\'re here to teach the dirty Koreans how to wash their hands. For the record Jason, Gerry, and EFL missionaries everywhere: Do you wash your hands every single time after you pee? In hot water and for at least 20 seconds? </p>\n<p>Jason does make some interesting points in his letter, especially the one about the entire history of the teaching of English being \"one long act of religious, cultural, and economic imperialism.\" He is right, of course, as many books including \"The Story of English\" by Robert McCrum, William Cran, and Robert McNeil clearly point out. But where Jason, and others like him go wrong, is that he gets stuck in the past; mired in the history of the subject in which he teaches. </p>\n<p>The entire history of teaching English may be \"one long act of religious, cultural, and economic imperialism\", but EFL teachers today have a choice that was not clearly evident in decades and centuries gone by. Our ancestors may have taught English by the sword and by the barrel of a gun, but we don\'t have to. We can put away the sword. We can look our students in the eye and see them for who they truly are. Not people who need to be indoctrinated so that they can become more like us, but people who need to be loved and nurtured so that they can become more like themselves and the men and women they were meant to be.</p>\n<p>Lest anyone think this sounds naive or esoteric, this is what education truly is.<br />\nEducation, from the Latin \"to draw out\", not to put in. When we truly educate someone, we do not fill the heads with nonsense or useless information that they will never use. We touch their hearts and draw out the real people within each of them. Then we accept them for who they are. A far cry from so many of the missionary EFL teachers out there today. </p>\n<p>With many missionary and imperialistic Western EFL teachers invading and occupying classrooms everywhere, a dark and dangerous irony is at work here.<br />\nThese EFL teachers come from countries--- Canada, the U.S., England, Australia, and New Zealand--- that are rife with their own political, social, and economic problems, everything from poverty, racism, sexism, ageism, crime, and the almost complete collapse of the moral and ethical values that have held traditional societies together for centuries. It is interesting that many of these EFL missionary teachers are attempting to import the very same problems that plague their own Western societies. Not to mention the fact that many of the same male teachers who are pushing Western feminist material in the East are themselves refugees of Western feminism. </p>\n<p>Another irony here is that these EFL teachers have chosen to indoctrinate their Eastern students with Western values at an interesting and very important time in world history. In the last thirty years we have seen the rise of the East at the precise moment that we bear witness to the decline of the West. As tens of millions of Asians become more affluent, mobile, and confident, millions of Westerners are living in poverty, seeing a sharp decline in their standard of living, witnessing a shrinking or near collapse of the middle-class, and seeing millions of jobs go overseas. Many of these displaced English speakers are now having to relocate to the East to teach English in order to get by. </p>\n<p>As China, India, and other Asian nations, as well as many nations in the Middle East, become the economic powerhouses of tomorrow, the economies of the U.S., Britian, Canada, and Australia are now in a state of stagnation and over the next generation are expected to fall behind Asia in terms of military strength and economic output. Books like Samuel Huntington\'s \"The Clash of Civilizations\" clearly attests to that eventual reality. </p>\n<p>It is becoming clear that many Westerners see the rise of the East as a threat to their autonomy and survival, both in terms of themselves and the country of their birth. Perhaps this proselytization and indoctrination on the part of these missionary/EFL teachers is their way of expressing the fear they feel over this historic, social, and economic reversal of fortune. Fear and jealousy are important and primary motivational factors in many things people do.</p>\n<p>As for Jason\'s point that the teaching of English \"is a political act\" and that \"English culture must be taught with the language\", that may have had merit decades and centuries ago when the English colonialists forced the English language and culture down other people\'s throats. They also forbade their captives to speak their own language and practice their own culture. Koreans remember all too well the Japanese invasions and occupations over the centuries in their attempts to \"civilize\" them. </p>\n<p>Out of curiosity, just what kind of culture is Jason and others alluding to when saying that culture must be included in the curriculum? Traditional British culture? Victorian morality? Shakespere? Chaucer? Dickens? Shall we teach Korean kids the rules of cricket while they take a break for tea and crumpets? How about some English pop-culture? The Beatles? Elton John? A touch of Amy Winehouse as she goes to rehab? Jolly-good, I say old chap! A lecture on Queen Elizabeth? A slide show about Princess Diana? Prince Harry as he plays polo? The history of Big Ben? And how much is it to see the bearded lady in the Picadilly Circus? </p>\n<p>Teach American culture? Like what? Traditional American culture? Abraham Lincoln\'s Emancipation Proclamation? The Great Depression literature of O\'Neil and Fitzgerald? The kitchen sink dramas of the 1940\'s? Arthur Miller, Tennesee Williams? Davie Crocket? Peter Pan? Elvis Presley? Disneyland? The McCarthy era? Watergate? The Studabaker? Old music? New Orleans Jazz? Mo-town? Contemporary garbage? Philadelphia hip-hop? L.A. gang-banging rap? Britney Spears, with or without panties? Michael Jackson? The black Michael or the white one? Buddy Holly? Ben Hur? Space Monkey? Mafia? Paris Hilton? Lindsay Lohan? Gerry Springer? Tyra Banks? Pat Robertson? The Moral Majority? Martin Luther King Jr? The KKK? The mind reels. </p>\n<p>Canadian culture? In English or French? Introduce the rules of hockey while the kiddies munch on Tim Horton\'s doughnuts. Have them read \"Anne of Green Gables\" while trying to remember your one childhood vacation to Prince Edward Island. Have them eat \"poutine\" while talking about the Quebec referendums and the rise of La Parti Quebecois. Show them pictures of snowmen and real live Canucks shovelling their cars out after a mid-January blizzard. That should get the little buggers dancing in the isles. </p>\n<p>Anything so that EFL teachers and learners won\'t have to work so hard. Anything so that learners of the English language won\'t be able to string three words together at the end of the term. Anything so that teachers of the English language won\'t have to prepare that hard for class. Anything so that EFL teachers won\'t have to take on the responsibility of preparing their students--- children, adolescents, and adults--- for the competitive reality of high school and university entrance examinations, and a very competitive globalized marketplace. </p>\n<p>Some of the things that I just mentioned--- great literature and music--- are very important aspects of any culture. They can and should be taught everywhere, but only within the safe confines of courses in a school or a university that specifically deal with these subjects in their curriculum. These courses--- literature, music, history, etc. should also be taught by those who are qualified to do so; not by those who have little more than a B.A. and are just in Asia for a year or two. There is precious little time in a 40 or 45 minute class to deviate beyond the teaching and learning of the English language itself. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately there are far too many learners of English--- in Korea and elsewhere--- who treat the English language, English culture, and their EFL teachers like a joke. And, just as unfortunately, there are far too many EFL teachers--- in Korea and elsewhere--- who treat their students, the schools in which they teach, and their host country as a joke as well. For those caught up in this vicious circle of hate, prejudice, and violence, they can have each other. Both sides are poisoning the teaching profession and, in the end, both sides will get what they deserve. Learners who don\'t learn, and teachers who don\'t teach.</p>\n<p>An important part of a teacher\'s responsibility is taking the time to help their students find their own voice. This is not easy. It requires a lot of time, sacrifice, and patience on the part of both the teacher and the learner. I would like to take this moment to put myself in the language learner\'s place. A language learner who is serious about learning English. An everyman or everywoman. I\'m still not sure how to address the kind of lunacy that Gerry, Jason, and others like them have exhibited. Admittedly it has been difficult (and fun.) But I\'m trying. So here it goes, from the perspective of a serious English language learner.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me, foreign English teacher. As entertaining as this lesson is, I really don\'t give a damn. I don\'t care about your culture. I have my own to worry about, thank you very much. The pictures of your family, very nice. Your cocker spaniel named Bingo, very cute. But again, I don\'t care. I need to learn English. I need to learn vocabulary, phrases, grammar, and idioms. I need to improve my listening skills. I need to learn how to read. Most importantly, I need to learn to speak in complete sentences so I don\'t sound like an idiot. That\'s what I need, foreign English teacher.</p>\n<p>Why do I need this, you may wonder? Because I have two young children and maybe another on the way. I don\'t have a lot of money, you see. So for me and many others, leaning how to speak English properly is the difference between having food on my table and clothes on my children\'s backs, or just one or the other. If you can teach me to speak English properly I can earn an extra 100 a month. With that we can have more than just rice. We can have Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken Pad Thai, Chicken Kiev, Chicken Adobo, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Catchatori, or Chicken Vindaloo. We can have better lives, foreign English teacher.</p>\n<p>So please don\'t look down on us, foreign English teacher. Don\'t teach us how to wash our hands, clean our feet, and blow our nose. Don\'t tell us what food we should eat, what we should drink, or how to raise our children. Don\'t tell us what books we should be reading, what music we should listen to, or what movies we should watch. Don\'t tell us what God we should be praying to, or how we should treat our wives, husbands, sons, and daughters. </p>\n<p>Just do one thing and do it well. Teach English. Teach English so that I can make more money and finally enjoy the same standard of living that you Westerners have taken for granted for so long. That\'s why we pay you. That\'s why you\'re here. Teach us your language so that one day our houses and cars can be as big as yours. Teach us English so that we can be rich.</p>\n<p>One more thing, foreigners: You need not bring bananas and condoms. We have our own.\"</p>','','2008-04-30 21:45:56',1,'2008-04-30 21:45:56','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(76,4,'Understanding culture','understanding-culture','Or the culture of understanding?','If knowing more about a specific culture can make me a better teacher while I\'m living there, then I\'d be more than happy to sign up and pay for some culture course.

I was teaching an academic writing class at AUA in Bangkok. Things weren\'t going very well. Students were complaining. It wasn\'t a bright and shining moment in my TESOL career. But I think I\'ve learned a lot since then. At least I hope so. Anyway, you can read all about it in my September, 2005 column on ajarn.com. </p>\n<p>In that class a student commented that I should learn more about Thai society and culture before stepping into the classroom. I\'m still not sure if he was referring to me personally, or simply making a blanket statement about all Westerners knowing more about a certain culture before attempting to teach students from the far east. Maybe he was just trying to help, but at the time I saw it as a personal attack. Perhaps I shouldn\'t have. Maybe he had a point.</p>\n<p>I bring this up because recently I saw this on the ajarn.com website:<br />\n____________________________________________</p>\n<p>URGENT PETITION AGAINST TEACHERS LICENSE<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Dear TEACHERS,</p>\n<p>Please be advised that the Ministry of Education with Teacher\'s Council of Thailand and the Labor Office require each and everyone who wishes to teach in Thailand to take a Teacher\'s License Course and Testing to be given/renew work permit.</p>\n<p>The twenty-hour training programme is as follows:</p>\n<p>--- Thai Society 4 hours<br />\n--- Thai Language and Thai Culture 6 hours<br />\n--- Thai Manners 2 hours<br />\n--- Thai Art and Thai Music 2 hours<br />\n--- Professional Ethics 6 hours<br />\n--<br />\n20 hours</p>\n<p>And the cost of the said course and testing are as follows:</p>\n<p>1.

After that academic writing class I may have signed that petition. But I\'m not so sure now. Maybe the Thai Ministry of Education is on to something here. </p>\n<p>In my September 2005 column I said that \"we (EFL teachers) are not here to understand and interpret Thai society. We are here to change it for the better.\"<br />\nAlthough that was said in anger and disappointment, to a large extent I still agree with what I said back then. We are here to make people\'s lives better. And in making other people\'s lives better, we improve our own. However I have questions I didn\'t have before. Namely, why?</p>\n<p>Although studying Thai culture, art, manners, language, music, and ethics can be fascinating, I can\'t help but wonder why the MoE would force future EFL teachers to study all this before issuing a teacher\'s license to them. It\'s a great idea, but why? What is their objective? Their purpose? Their aim and goals? Has Ms. Vince-Jillings, and others who are against this plan, bothered to ask the MoE these important questions? It could shed some light on the MoE\'s purpose and objectives. Afterall, many of the foreign teachers in Thailand, and elsewhere, have ulterior motives for being here and should certainly not be teaching.</p>\n<p>If the MoE\'s purpose for implementing this course is to help foreigners become better teachers, then I\'m all for it. If by studying someone else\'s culture--- it\'s language, art, music, ethics, etc.--- makes an EFL teacher better able to help his students achieve their goals and potential, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. In fact, this should be the aim and goal of every Education Ministry wherever foreign English teachers live and work. </p>\n<p>However, I still have doubts. Human nature and my own experience tells me that the best intentions of this MoE course may end up going awry. Unless this course is run by decent people who seriously desire to turn bad and mediocre English teachers into better ones by presenting their culture, and everything within it, in an objective and balanced light, then this course is bound to fail. As long as this course is run by decent people who are unafraid to show both the good and bad sides of their society, then foreign English teachers stand a chance of walking away from it with a good taste in their mouth. A tall order indeed, but an objective for which it is well worth striving.</p>\n<p>In the year 2000 I spent a short time at a school in the Chinese province of Shandong. It was a wonderful experience and I fell in love with many of the students I was teaching. It was the first time they had been taught by a foreigner and I felt privileged to have the opportunity to share my time with them. One night in particular stood out as five foreign English teachers, including myself, sat in the principal\'s office and listened to one of his underlings expound on the virtues and moral superiority of Chinese society. It may have been insulting to the Western ear, but it was also embarrassing. Worst of all, it was a missed opportunity. An opportunity for several people from different parts of the world to understand why we were all here: To figure out the best way to help our students, and to help each other grow as people.</p>\n<p>After all, that is what culture really is. The word culture comes from the Latin \"Cultura\", which means to grow, to cultivate. In many parts of the world we now have taken the word to mean something akin to \"Cult\", as in CULTure. Discussions about culture rarely bring people together. Discussions that begin with \"In my culture we care about older people\", are neither intended nor designed to bridge the gap between people of different societies. And future foreign English teachers who are made to sit through a similar cultural sensitivity evening that I experienced in China may end up writing letters and petitions such as the one written by Ms. Vince-Jillings.</p>\n<p>Far too often cultures, especially those here in the far east, tend to put their own people in a box. Individuality and, at times, creativity, are stiffled to ensure peace and harmony. Rarely does this work well. One way or another individuality tends to find a way of seeping through the veneer of collectivity. And at times in negative or pathological ways. Many of these societies who place their own people in the cultural box may find it appealing to put foreign English teachers in there as well, thus cutting us off from our own creativity and individuality--- the very things that many of us need to teach our students effectively. </p>\n<p>South Korea certainly has this problem with their own teachers as well as foreigners, and I can say from personal experience that it is very frustrating when a Korean teacher or administrator attempts to put me in the Korean cultural box. \"You must teach this way\" or, \"You must use this book.\" My instinct is to fight tooth and nail to escape. When I do, it\'s usually at the expense of my job. </p>\n<p>Attempting to \"fit in\" to someone else\'s culture is a tough challenge, especially if it compromises one\'s own beliefs, values, and principles. A great many people never seem to accomplish this. Suspending one\'s beliefs about how things ought to be can certainly be helpful if teachers and administrators focus on why we are all here: To help our students succeed and reach their full potential. </p>\n<p>So I am hoping, sometimes against my better judgement, that this MoE course in Thai culture will work. I\'m hoping that courses of this nature will work anywhere they are planned and implemented. But the goals must be clear, the purpose unambiguous, the mission obvious, and the objectives explicit and unequivocal: To produce and train teachers who will put the educational needs of their students front and center. After all, that is why teachers are being paid.</p>\n<p>If knowing more about a specific culture can make me a better teacher while I\'m living there, then I\'d be more than happy to sign up and pay for the course. But keep the \"My Culture Is Better Than Your Culture\" crap out of it. Or I may end up signing Ms. Vince-Jillings petition.</p>\n<p>One more thing: To the student in the academic writing class almost three years ago who told me that I must understand Thai society before stepping into the classroom, thank you. I now know you didn\'t mean any harm. I agree with you now a lot more than I did then. Oh well, better late than never.</p>','','2008-03-31 22:09:22',1,'2008-03-31 22:09:22','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(77,4,'Outsourcing in the TEFL industry','outsourcing-in-the-tefl-industry','It\'s not just for blond-haired blue-eyed wonders anymore.','no one bitches and moans like foreign English teachers.

The English-only classes will be expanded to all middle and high schools by 2012, according to the roadmap of the presidential transition committee.\"</p>\n<p>English to be taught in English?  Isn\'t that what teachers of English should have been doing all along?  If English teachers can\'t speak English, or are not speaking English in the classroom, how can anyone expect the students to?  Obviously this is going to take a lot of training--- six months according to the government--- since, admittedly, \"about 60 percent of English teachers in the city can currently teach in English\", according to the Seoul Municipal Office of Education, SMOE.  The percentage of Korean teachers outside Seoul who can teach English in English is smaller.</p>\n<p>These are the highlights of the \"English Friendly Plan\" that the new Lee Myung-bak administration plans to implement over the next five years according to an article in the Korea Times on January 30, 2008 under the headline, Korea Dreams of Becoming Asia\'s No. 1 in English-Speaking.\"</p>\n<p>*** To introduce Teaching English in English (TEE) system.<br />\n*** To outsource 23,000 teachers.<br />\n*** To increase English-speaking classes to three hours per week, (from the current 40-45 minutes per week.)<br />\n*** Smaller English class size in secondary schools--- from 35 students per class to 23.<br />\n*** To offer immersion programs and other language training to English teachers.<br />\n*** To select Assistant English Teachers from among housewives and overseas Koreans.<br />\n*** To introduce English Proficiency Tests to replace the current English test.<br />\n*** To establish English libraries for children.</p>\n<p>Try as I may, I can\'t find anything wrong with this.  Some of this may not go far enough.  And why wait three or four years to get started?  Let\'s start now.  I\'m ready.  Bring it on!  The big question is \"How.\"  How is the Lee administration going to pay for all this?  That remains to be seen.</p>\n<p>But not everyone is happy with these proposed changes.  If you listen closely enough, if you put your ear to the window--- any window in the Republic of Korea--- you may be able to make out the faint but incessant roar of the foreign English teachers.  And no one bitches and moans like foreign English teachers.  Especially the foreign English teachers with blond hair and blue eyes.  Especially the foreign English teachers who have been spoiled over the last three plus decades with free airline tickets to and from home and rent-free apartments.  Especially those foreign English teachers who have been given a relatively easy ride simply for showing up to work without having to prove their competency or qualifications.  Yes, those foreign English teachers.</p>\n<p>They will dismiss President Lee\'s ambitious education reform initiatives as pie-in-the-sky and unrealistic.  At least many of them will.  Any why not?  After all, these foreign English teachers have the most to lose.  Beginning with their jobs which many of them got only because they had blond hair and blue eyes, and need to pay off student loans and subsidize their travels through Asia.</p>\n<p>Am I being unfair here?  Well, let\'s see.  From the Korea Times on January 27, 2008 under the headline, \"53% of Foreign Tutors Lack Teaching Degrees.\"</p>\n<p>\"More than half of foreign teachers at elementary and secondary schools have no English teaching certificates.  Of 3,808 native English speaking teachers, 2002, or 53 percent, didn\'t have teaching certificates such as TESOL or TEFL as of September 2007, according to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development.\"</p>\n<p>Let\'s combine this with the fact that at least 40 percent of Korean public school English teachers in Seoul cannot teach their English classes in English, (the number is certainly higher outside Seoul), then you get a clear idea of how so many public school teachers are failing their students.  And not just failing, but failing miserably.</p>\n<p>Now this raises an interesting question.  With just under 4,000 native English teachers in Korean public schools as of last September, just where are the 19,000 other teachers going to come from if the new government is to achieve its goal of 23,000 English teachers in public elementary and secondary schools nationwide?</p>\n<p>\"Korea Can Utilize Pakistani Teachers\", Says Raza Ahmad in his column to the Korea Times on February 12, 2008.  \"Pakistan is a reservoir of English language teachers\", says Ahmad.  \"Pakistan English teachers are quite proficient for English teaching in any country and can match any English teacher from around the globe.  They are teaching in various countries including the U.S., Canada, and Europe.  So why not Korea?\"</p>\n<p>Yes, so why not Korea?  Schools in Thailand, both public and private, employ Filipino English teachers.  I have had the privilege of working with a few very good Filipino English teachers at AUA in Bangkok.  They\'re competent and hardworking, and can certainly give native English teachers a run for their money.</p>\n<p>The problem with this, as it now stands, is that the laws in Korea would have to be changed to accommodate English teachers from outside the countries where English is the official language.  Some of these countries include Canada, the U.S., Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand.  President Lee should certainly look into changing this law so that competent and qualified English speakers, regardless of their country of birth, can come here to teach English.</p>\n<p>But my ear is pressed up against the window again.  And I can hear the blond- haired blue-eyed teachers bitching and moaning.  It\'s about money, they complain.  It\'s all about the money.  Yes, they\'re right.  It\'s mostly about the money.  Why pay a Western teacher--- especially a Western English teacher that the Office of Education is not happy with--- $2,000--2,500 a month when a Pakistani or Filipino or a South African English teacher can do the job just as well, or better, for less money?  Well, ladies and gentlemen, that\'s called capitalism in a globalized marketplace.  And let\'s not forget that Western English teachers demand their own single accommodations, thus increasing the total cost of employing foreign teachers.  Non-Western teachers are used to sharing accommodations and will see nothing wrong with this, thus saving the taxpayers more money when employing them.</p>\n<p>In his book, \"Cheap?  The Real Cost of Living in a Low Price, Low Wage World\", (Kogan Page Limited, 2006), David Bosshart says that, \"A young well-trained Indian researcher with a university degree cost eight times less than a colleague with the same qualifications in Germany, France, or the U.S.A.\"  (p.50.)</p>\n<p>Bosshart goes on to quote Heinrich von Pierer of Siemens who says of software development, \"For the same money it takes to hire 2,000 German software developers, I can get 12,000 in China.\"  (p. 50.)</p>\n<p>This outsourcing trend will continue as part of globalization.  It will continue because of the parallel trend toward liberal economic polices by both new and established democratic governments who see free and fair trade with other countries as a way to increase economic growth in their own.  This outsourcing of jobs, whether we agree with it or not, is prevalent in all sectors of society.  Including education.  And, increasingly, in the TEFL industry.  Why should almost all or, for that matter, most EFL teaching jobs go to those with blond hair and blue eyes?  Why should almost all or most EFL teaching jobs be reserved for those who, through sheer geographical good fortune, were born white, middle-class, and in the U.S?</p>\n<p>If EPIK in Korea, or the JET program in Japan, or any other government program which places foreign English teachers in public schools, can get 100 qualified Pakistani or Filipino English teachers for the same amount of money that it takes to employ 50 or 60 Western English teachers, then more power to them.  Sounds like solid business acumen to me.  It\'s not as if the blond-haired blue-eyed wonders, who have flooded South Korea and other Asian nations over the years, have proven their worth.  We all know that far too many of them haven\'t.  Maybe it\'s time to try something else.</p>\n<p>Yes, it is about money.  The shipbuilding industry here in Korea regularly employs those from Southeast Asian nations.  And so does the entertainment industry.  It\'s far cheaper to import Filipina nightclub singers than it is to meet the higher salary demands of Korean singers.  A Filipina singer in a nightclub here in Busan can earn 600,000 won a month, or about 25,000 pesos.  It\'s very little by Western standards, but a least four times what she would earn back in the Philippines for doing the same thing.  </p>\n<p>A major drawback to this may be that some of the English teachers from non-native English speaking countries will be treated unfaily in terms of perception, job benefits, and bonuses, due to their looks.  And some Filipina singers will tell you that they were brought here to do more than sing.  Mistreatment like this is common, especially in a society like South Korea which still places a very high premium on physical appearance, and has a long history of discrimination against foreigners.</p>\n<p>In a letter to the Korea Times on February 3, 2008, Marsha Titchnell had this to say about Ahmed\'s column:</p>\n<p>\"Now I am reading that Pakistan wants to send English speaking teachers.  I cannot understand some of the so called English teachers from Europe and if you have ever heard a person from a non-native English country speaking English they are hard to understand.</p>\n<p>The U.S. outsources a lot of its work to India, Pakistan, England, etc.  Companies are now returning a lot of that work to the U.S. simply because we cannot understand these so called English speaking people.\"</p>\n<p>\"These so called English speaking people?\"  Excuse me while I open a window and take a good whiff of Western hypocrisy and not so veiled racism.  It wasn\'t too long ago that we were hearing from many Canadian and American teachers that Asians don\'t want to learn English from the British or Australians.  The accents.  No one will be able to understand them.  It\'s not the accents.  It\'s  competition they fear.</p>\n<p>Here\'s something I find interesting.  Most of these Western English teachers, who purport to being fans of a free-market economy, openly post on teacher/expat websites that they think they deserve a higher salary than that of a high-school principal.  Four or five thousand dollars a month is what some of them brazenly ask for.  Plus a big, free apartment.  All this for playing bingo and pop-songs.  Yet when well-educated and highly qualified Pakistanis or Filipinos are offered the same jobs for less money, these blond-haired blue-eyed wonders are the first ones to cry foul.  They suddenly become Karl Marx and throw a fit.  Instead of seizing this opportunity to become better teachers--- something most of them never had to do before--- they simply criticize the system or the host country for their greed.  Then they flee in droves.  Survival of the EFL fittest seems an apt expression here.</p>\n<p>What these greedy and ridiculous Western English teachers don\'t realize is that by demanding such outrageous salaries, they would thus be turning education into an elitist reality, the complete antithesis of what President Lee\'s new administration is attempting to do.  Traditionally, the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language has always been a low-skilled job.  Just about anyone can do it.  And low-skilled jobs require low salaries, which, in turn, keep costs down.  In the field of education, low but realistic teacher\'s salaries keeps education costs down thus giving more people the opportunity to learn.  If teachers truly believe that education is the right of the masses, not just an endeavor for the rich, then they should have no trouble living on $2,000--2,500 a month plus a free apartment, especially in a developing country like South Korea.  Unrealistic demands like $4,000--5,000 a month for doing little more than playing games in the classroom is certainly not putting the best interests of the students first.</p>\n<p>Those English teachers with Masters Degrees or Doctorates, especially in the field of education, will command higher salaries and will deserve it.  That\'s the way competition works and how free-market economies run.  Those with only a B.A. and who want to spend a year or two in Asia playing games with the kiddies, will also get what free-market forces dictate.  This is more than fair and a basic lesson in Economics 101.</p>\n<p>Regardless of what country an English teacher comes from, he or she must have a passion for teaching and clearly defined goals before stepping into the classroom.  Along with good qualifications and competence this is what education officials and recruiters must look when hiring English teachers.</p>\n<p>\"I want to help Korean students make their dreams come true through my teaching\", says Patrick, a 31 year old American recently interviewed by Kelly Ye, a recruiter from SMOE.  </p>\n<p>Ye, who majored in children\'s education and has a Masters in TESOL, was interviewed recently by the JoongAng Daily.  From an article on February 18, 2008 titled, \"Behind the Scenes of English Education\", Ye says, \"When interviewing, I am meticulous.  I make a point of checking academic, job, and crime records.  I even check the applicant\'s health.  I also try to contact the applicant\'s former employers.\"</p>\n<p>Ye admits that \"More than 15 percent of the applicants who pass the application package review fail the interview.  At times it can be difficult to find qualified applicants.\"</p>\n<p>Indeed.  Maybe the times they are a changing.  Although Ye is an exception in the recruitment of foreign English teachers, there seems to be some hope in this area.  Separating the wheat from the chaff by asking potential teachers the right questions is what good and caring recruiters do.  Patrick is right-on as well.  Helping students make their dreams come true is what dedicated and caring teachers do.  </p>\n<p>I\'m looking forward to the day when simply having blond hair and blue eyes and English as your mother-tongue is not near good enough to land anyone a TEFL job anywhere in the world.  Students everywhere deserve much better than that.</p>','','2008-02-29 22:17:00',1,'2008-02-29 22:17:00','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(78,4,'My tears and your legacy','my-tears-and-your-legacy','A letter to President-Elect Lee Myung-bak.','Recently the laws of South Korea were modified to improve the vetting process in the hiring of foreign English teachers. Analyzing my blood and urine for specific diseases and pre-existing conditions is one thing. ','<p>Dear Mr. President-Elect:</p>\n<p>Congratulations on becoming president of South Korea in the general election last December. I am an English teacher in a public middle school in Busan. As I enter my third year in the English Program In Korea (EPIK), it is both an honor and a privilege for me to work with the next generation of Koreans. Besides teaching English, I also teach my students honesty, respect (for self and others), hard word, sacrifice, discipline, responsibility, and cooperation all within a non-competitive atmosphere. It is a wonderful opportunity that I take seriously, an opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of so many young people.</p>\n<p>Recently the laws of South Korea were modified to improve the vetting process in the hiring of foreign English teachers. Medical examinations to check for HIV and drug abuse along with criminal background checks for E 2 visa applicants is certainly a good start. After all, it is not in the best interest of anyone to have unsavory characters in the classrooms of your nation. But these new laws, as positive a first step as they are, are incomplete. Analyzing my blood and urine for specific diseases and pre-existing conditions is one thing. </p>\n<p>But your government, Mr. President, also needs to analyze me tears. Your government needs to look inside my heart. Then you\'ll know who the real teachers are. Then you\'ll know which teachers to keep and which ones to discard. </p>\n<p>From January 7th to the 25th, I teach a three-week winter English Camp here in Busan. Most of the elementary school children are adorable, and it is an honor to teach them. Yesterday I was in a classroom of 10 year olds. I was teaching them to speak in complete sentences. They were teaching me to dance. One beautiful little girl nicknamed \"Sophia\", with eyes that danced as she spoke, took both my hands in hers and attempted to teach me the moves to \"Tell Me\" by the Wonder Girls. I wish you could have been there, Mr. President. I wish you could have seen this. The trust that she put in me as a teacher was truly humbling and brought tears to my eyes. As I remember this magical teaching moment today, I can\'t help but miss Sophia. </p>\n<p>Then there was \"Brian\", a shy little boy who, when I attempted to team him up with a girl to practice speaking, panicked and almost started to cry. He reminded me of myself when I was 22! I hugged Brian, then teamed him up with another boy. By the end of class, most of the students were speaking in the complete sentences I had taught them. As for my dancing skills, let\'s just say that Sophia has her work cut out for her. </p>\n<p>Mr. President, I realize that there is a lot on your plate. The economy, North Korea, various social problems in an ever changing society, and, of course, education reform. You are just beginning your presidency. No doubt that by the end of your presidency you will be thinking of a legacy. Something to leave the Korean people. As for education reform, may I suggest this? Since you and your government seem committed to hiring foreigners from English speaking countries to teach Korea\'s children, your legacy may be found in these very important seven words:</p>\n<p>Hire foreign teachers who love your children.</p>\n<p>Hire foreign teachers who are committed to seeing their students succeed. Hire foreign teachers who yearn to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Hire foreign teachers who love what they do. Hire foreign teachers who go to bed at night and dream about what they can do to improve the lives of their students. Hire foreign teachers who can\'t wait to jump out of bed in the morning and get to work in the classroom. Hire foreign teachers who miss their students when they are not with them. Hire foreign teachers who want to be here. Hire foreign teachers who can\'t imagine doing anything else but sharing their time and energy with their students. In other words, Mr. President, hire foreign teachers who love your children. </p>\n<p>You need teachers with love, hope, faith, passion, and compassion. You need teachers who are dedicated, responsible, reliable, and committed to the best possible education for young people. And Mr. President, there is no blood and urine test for that. </p>\n<p>When it comes to education reform, this will be your lasting legacy. The hiring of teachers who love your children and are dedicated to their success, will do more to improve the educational system than anything else humanly imaginable. </p>\n<p>To be blunt, Mr. President, my tears and your legacy are inexorably linked. The medical exam that I took recently will show that I have high blood pressure and am colored blind. When the doctors analyze my blood and urine they will find my father\'s high cholesterol and gout. They may also find my mother\'s faulty gene which led to her contacting multiple-sclerosis over 20 years ago. </p>\n<p>But one thing your doctors won\'t find, Mr. President. Regardless of how good and thorough your scientists are, one thing that won\'t show up in the test results is my passion for teaching. There is no blood and urine test for that. You\'re going to need my tears to test for love and passion. You\'re going to need to see the tears in my eyes when we all succeed. You\'re going to need to hear the quiver in my voice when I talk about how much I miss many of my students. And you\'re going to have to come to any one of my classes and watch my students in action as we all learn and teach together. In fact, you are most welcomed to do this anytime. </p>\n<p>In the meantime, I look forward to tomorrow. I look forward to teaching my students to speak in full sentences. I look forward to encouraging my students to reach for the stars. I look forward to pushing my students to their full potential. And I look forward to Sophia taking my hands in hers once again, and teaching me to dance. After all, Mr. President, you\'re not the only one with a legacy to leave.</p>','','2008-01-31 22:27:34',1,'2008-01-31 22:27:34','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(79,4,'Finding the poetry','finding-the-poetry','English teachers, Sonny\'s outcry, and finding the poetry','Governments and Immigration officials in various countries, including South Korea and Thailand, are finally starting to crack down on English teachers who have proven themselves to be less than desirable.','<p>In his book, \"HELP: The Original Human Dilemma\", (HarperCollins Publishers, 2004), teacher and theologian Garret Keizer talks about Kathy B, a drifter and vagabond whom Keizer befriended. Kathy B had spent decades requesting the assistance of others, much to the detriment of those who chose to help her. One evening Kathy decides to move to a remote campsite deep in the Vermont woods. It\'s November and it\'s cold. Keizer and his friend Sonny put her gear in a pickup truck and decide to take her there. </p>\n<p>They spend hours driving through fields and dirt roads, finally ending up in a clearing at the edge of a cedar swamp. This is where Kathy B wants to get out. At this point Sonny is about to explode. He looks at Kathy and says in an exasperated voice, \"Girl, you got to have a better plan than this!\"</p>\n<p>With these ten words, this outburst, this sagacious outcry, Sonny just about summed up what is wrong with humanity. \"You got to have a better plan than this.\" You\'ve got to come up with something that leads you to a better place. In fact, you must come up with something that takes you from point A to point B efficiently, effectively, and to the extent that it involves as few people as possible. Very few things in this world get more people into more trouble than a lack of planning.</p>\n<p>Which brings me to the many thousands of foreign English teachers across Asia. Governments and Immigration officials in various countries, including South Korea and Thailand, are finally starting to crack down on English teachers who have proven themselves to be less than desirable. These new Immigration polices are not just for those who have committed criminal acts, whether in their host or home countries. These polices should also be implemented for those teachers who are deemed incompetent in their jobs, lack respect, responsibility, planning skills, and refuse to take a leadership role in and out of the classroom. </p>\n<p>I don\'t want this to sound like a rant against foreign English teachers. After all, I am one, and I\'ve been fortunate over the years to have worked with some very talented and creative teachers; teachers who deserve respect and admiration from fellow teachers, administrators, supervisors, and Immigration officials, but, in the end, got very little of anything. Most of us know who these special teachers are. Most of us also know who the slackers are, and it is these people that are spoiling it for the rest of us who truly work hard and desire to make a positive difference in the lives of our students.</p>\n<p>That there are schools, whether language schools or public schools, who do provide for their teachers a curriculum is both helpful and admirable, especially if the teacher is young and has just started working in the teaching profession. But there have been, and are, older and more established teachers who berate the system for not providing foreign English teachers en mass with a set curriculum from which to abide. Rather than \"step up to the plate\" and show leadership by planning their own curriculum, these teachers look for any excuse to criticize others for their lack of planning. It is far easier to criticize others for their lack of planning than it is to take the initiative by showing leadership. To expect the school or the school district to plan English lessons that the teacher himself should be taking the time to plan is both foolhardy and irresponsible. I can hear Sonny\'s voice: You got to have a better plan than this! In other words, it\'s not enough to simply show up for work. </p>\n<p>I\'m also fortunate in the sense that I have complete creative autonomy in the classroom. After almost 11 years in this profession, I wouldn\'t have it any other way. But with creative control comes responsibility. And it\'s a responsibility I take seriously. My main concern, vis-a-vis the students, is to make sure that they learn something. Having fun while learning is nice too, and there are times when my students have fun. But having fun is not always necessary, and, at times, it can become a distraction or an impediment to the learning process. A large part of my responsibility as a teacher is to set goals and guidelines. Goals to enhance the probability that my students reach their potential, and guidelines to ensure their success by following my classroom culture of cooperation, mutual respect, and responsibility set out for them beforehand. </p>\n<p>Few things upset me more in this profession than lenient teachers; teachers with no goals, no rules, no guidelines, and no responsibility. Teachers who so readily lower the bar. Teachers who are afraid to teach and who just want to be liked by the children. Nothing wrong with wanting to be liked, but when being liked is the overriding emotion or endeavor of the teacher to the detriment of the students\' learning, then there\'s something definitely wrong indeed. Children have been known to act out against lenient teachers. Keizer puts it this way:</p>\n<p>\"This is why kids respond to demanding teachers and despise those too ready to lower the bar. They suspect, not without reason, that an abundance of compassion betrays a dearth of confidence.\" (HELP: The Original Human Dilemma. HarperCollins Publishers, 2004. p. 110.)</p>\n<p>An abundance of compassion betrays a dearth of confidence. Those teachers who are not comfortable being teachers, those teachers who, for whatever reason, refuse to take the responsibility needed to teach effectively, those teachers who lack confidence in their ability to teach will compensate for this by playing too many games and handing out copious amounts of candy. Then they\'ll wonder why the students are acting out and misbehaving. There is something pathetic about these kinds of teachers, something very sad. Maybe it goes back to something in their childhood. These lenient teachers are certainly not helping the students. In fact, they are helping to bring the whole education system down. That teacher training programs can\'t seem to find a way to weed this out shows how the vast majority of adults are failing children. Personally, I don\'t lower the bar.<br />\nI don\'t raise the bar either. I don\'t have a bar. I got rid of the bar a long time ago. That way, the sky is the limit for my students. </p>\n<p>It is unfortunate that the drop-out rate among foreign English teachers is so high. There are many reasons for this. Young and naive teachers whose unrealistic expectations are not being met; young teachers who just want to travel; teachers who are here for a short time to pay off a student loan; young, irresponsible wanderers who just want to party; or those who are looking to escape the rigors of a demanding professional life back home. There are almost as many reasons for wanting to teach English in Asia as there are teachers. </p>\n<p>There is another reason for the high drop-out rate among foreign English teachers, a reason not talked about very often. It is this: A lack of success. If there is a universal truth concerning the teaching profession, or any profession, it is that success begets love and love begets more success. Those who love their work tend to be successful at it, and those who are successful tend to love their work. In fact, they may not see it as work at all. Those teachers who love teaching and are good at it, tend not to quit. Simple as that. Once again, Keizer states this point eloquently if not metaphorically:</p>\n<p>\"The ultimate dismissal for a given line of work is not to say that there\'s no money in it but that there\'s no poetry in it.\" (HELP.<br />\np. 100.)</p>\n<p>Many teachers quit because for them teaching has lost its glamour. Forgetting for a moment whether teaching should be glamorous, many teachers either forget or have never known that teaching is a metaphor. A metaphor for what? Well, according to Keizer, Socrates the teacher saw himself as a midwife. Each teacher has to decide what metaphor he or she wants to use. \"Part of the social value of a profession\", Keizer insists, \"consists of its usefulness in analogy.\"</p>\n<p>Once teaching begins to lose its poetry, its beauty, we begin to ask some serious questions. This is natural and something people should do. It\'s not asking questions that\'s the problem. We must ask the right questions. And it\'s not asking the right questions that should frighten us. It\'s the answers. </p>\n<p>So teaching has lost its poetry. Now what? (Or should I say, so what?) Quit? Go back to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, the U.S? Become like Kathy B, a drifter and a wanderer? Go back to telemarketing or stacking canned goods at the local supermarket? Now there\'s poetry! You got to have a better plan than this. Teachers who are disorganized in the classroom tend to be disorganized outside the classroom. </p>\n<p>I like to think of myself as not only a teacher in the classroom, but also as a conductor. I often say that I\'m not teaching a class as much as I\'m conducting a class. And with 35 young teenagers in each room, it helps to hear a symphony. Keeping things in harmony is important with that many people in the room. As for poetry, there\'s no shortage of that in my classes. Oh yes, I have my share of miscreants. What teacher doesn\'t? But there\'s poetry when a student finally learns something. And there\'s poetry in a student\'s laughter. And there\'s poetry when a lesson plan takes shape. And there\'s poetry when a problem student finally jumps on board and participates. Poetic moments in the classroom may be rare, but they don\'t have to be. They\'re there if we choose to see. </p>\n<p>Poet William Carlos Williams said that people \"die miserably every day for lack of what is found.\" People live miserably every day too for that same reason. If not finding the poetic moments in our job and in our life is something akin to living in hell, then my poetic lunch today was a wonderful glimpse of heaven. </p>\n<p>As I write, I\'m beginning my winter break from middle-school. I\'m off from December 29th until February 11th. I came in today, December 31st, to finish this column. In school with me are a few of my favorite students, studying hard and cleaning the school. I promised to take them out for lunch. Nothing special. Just burgers. But there was poetry on those faces. Poetry when they ate their burgers and fries. And poetry when they tried to talk English to me. </p>\n<p>There\'s also poetry when they shyly huddle around my desk to see what I\'m doing. Poetry when they give me a candy. Poetry when I give them chocolate. Poetry when they tell me I\'m handsome. And poetry when they smile and say thank you. These smiles are sincere coming from 13 or 14 year olds. Tragically, this sincerity is something they\'ll lose in a few short years once they start studying 15 hours a day to pass college entrance exams. Give up on teaching because there\'s no poetry in it? I\'m not sure that\'s possible for me. To give up on teaching is to give up on children. And how many of us can afford to do that?</p>\n<p>As for Kathy B, she too gave up. She killed herself. A troubled woman who didn\'t see the poetry. As for teachers who don\'t see the poetry any longer; who, to quote from the famous song, \"lost that lovin\' feeling\", maybe it\'s time to go. Perhaps it\'s time to move on. Time to make a choice. </p>\n<p>As for me, I\'m basking in the memory of lunch today with a few of my favorite students. Their genuine emotions were a joy to behold. I treasure their company and am grateful for the poetry. The same poetry that makes me want to care about them. The same poetry that makes me want to become a better teacher. The same poetry that makes me miss some of my students when I\'m not teaching them. The same poetry that has sustained me all these years in Asia. The same poetry that keeps me in love with a profession in which so many others have given up. </p>\n<p>You got to have a better plan than this! Yes you do. Sonny is right. Coming to class prepared to teach so that you can take your students where they need to go in life is one way of having a better plan. Seeing the poetry in teaching; now that\'s essential. Experiencing the poetry in teaching; that\'s absolutely necessary. </p>\n<p>Just as I was about to end this column, I received a text message on my cell phone from one of the students I had lunch with today. It reads, \"I had a great time. Thank you, Steven.\" Now if that isn\'t poetry, then there\'s no such thing.</p>\n<p>No, sweetheart, thank you.</p>','','2007-12-31 22:32:54',1,'2007-12-31 22:32:54','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(80,4,'Not in my classroom','not-in-my-classroom','Dopey foreigners and mentally deficient Koreans','It\'s not that I love to discipline students.

Quite frankly, there are so many problems that I needed to add another part to the column. So here it is. Remember Miss In The-dark\'s letter from my last column? To recap, she mentions a foreign English teacher who got caught in one of his public school classes talking about marijuana and heroin and how to use them. He also, on occasion, swore at his students and played \"too many\" pop songs and movies. Basically the English teacher we all dream of becoming when we grow up. I wonder what happened to him. He\'s probably an administrator now. Or the Minister of Education!</p>\n<p>Before discussing at length the REAL danger of Miss In The-dark\'s letter, let\'s go over two points from the conclusion which was sent to the Korean co-teachers in Gyeonggi province.<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"To avoid any similar incidents, here are some announcements I\'d like to make:</p>\n<p>1) Do NOT go into a class to teach WITHOUT a Korean co-teacher. (I know you are sometimes asked to go in alone because the co-teacher is busy. In this case, refuse to teach alone.) Korean law states that unless one is duly licensed to teach in Korea, then one MUST be accompanied in the classroom by a teacher who is actually licensed. Even though you are teaching 100 percent of the class, a co-teacher must be present. Our office will be sending official letters to all co-teachers regarding this.</p>\n<p>2) Leave the disciplining of students to the Korean co-teachers. In recent years the punishing of students has been a huge controversy, so Koreans have been very sensitive about this.\"<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Let\'s begin with number one where Miss In The-dark tells the native English teachers to NEVER go into class alone. She\'s right, and there\'s a very good reason for this. She never mentions it. For me she doesn\'t have to. She says that it\'s against Korean law. True again, but the law has never stopped some of the people here from acting inappropriately. The law is not the only reason not to teach a class without a co-teacher. Here\'s the reason: Someone could get hurt. Someone could get very hurt. In fact, someone could get killed. It is not only for legal reasons that that a foreign teacher must never enter a public school classroom alone, but also for moral and ethical reasons. </p>\n<p>This is what I want to make crystal clear: Many Korean children today, especially teen aged boys, are viciously rude, ill-tempered, vulgar, unrefined, uncouth, and barely civilized. Many of them sprang from parents who are barely civilized themselves. Ouch! I know that hurts. But the truth must be told, and here\'s why.</p>\n<p>Every year thousands of Korean students get hurt in their public schools, many of them seriously and some of them very seriously. People fall down stairs, bones get broken, heads are banged against walls, and some idiotic students try to push each other out the the window. I\'m not the only teacher concerned about this. From a column titled \"War at School\" by Choi Tae-hwan, teacher Choi talks about his experiences.<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Every morning at school I find myself in somewhat of a nervous state of mind as I were about to enter a tug of war with myself about how to solve a variety of problems caused by my first grade middle school students, which range from harmless play to serious fights, often resulting in injury.</p>\n<p>A boy shattered a window because he was teased by some girls who made fun of his short hair. Two boys are now fighting upstairs. Some of the girls speak ill of me all the time. </p>\n<p>Listen up Korean parents! Do you think your children are well mannered and would never bother and tease others in their classes?\" (Korea Times, \"Thoughts of the Times\", August 3, 2007.)<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>If you think I may be exaggerating my point here, remember that just about all school shootings in the United States, including Columbine, happened because so called well mannered children initially bothered and teased others in their classes. As I write, I can\'t get this horrible image out of my mind. Friday, September 14, 2007. Just before noon. A fourteen year old boy was helped into the teacher\'s room of my middle school by another student. He was crying. He was also wheezing, trying to catch his breath. He was holding his side. He collapsed on the floor near one of the Korean teacher\'s desks. A teacher came to his aid. She held his head up and whiped his tears. She took a jacket and turned it into a makeshift pillow for the boy as he laid down in an attempt to be more comfortable. His crying and attempts to breathe went on for a good 15 minutes.</p>\n<p>What happened? He was punched in the stomach by another male student from the same class. Just past noon an ambulance came to take the injured student to the hospital. The injured student was still crying as he was led away on a stretcher. By the end of the day he was back in school. He had bruised ribs and a bad stomachache, but other than that he was fine. But it could have been worse. Much worse. Like this:</p>\n<p>\"School Boy Brain Dead After Survival Game Accident\", (Chosun Ilbo, October 5, 2007.)<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"An elementary school boy is brain dead after a brick wall fell on him during a \'survival simulation game.\' At 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, Kim a 13 year old student of \"J\" elementary school, was jumping through a window in the center of a 197 cm by 152 cm brick wall at a survival training ground when the wall collapsed. The boy lost consciousness and was carried to a nearby hospital. He was wearing NO PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. (Emphasis mine.)</p>\n<p>Survival training grounds have become popular with schools looking to teach students COOPERATION SKILLS, (emphasis mine), but safety management is weak and students are often exposed to risk.\"<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p>\n<p>Holy Crap! What in the world does jumping through windows have to do with teaching elementary school students the art of cooperation? I teach cooperation to my students everyday, but I do so in the safe confines of a non-competitive classroom. The current generation of Korean children live in a world of computer games where animated characters die and are miraculously brought back to life. They are not aware that in the real world of \"survival simulation games\", people get hurt and sometimes die. And apparently, neither are many of their dumb-ass teachers.</p>\n<p>I know this can and does happen everywhere. But that\'s not the point. Taking responsibility is. That\'s why it\'s easy for me to see these teachers and administrators as little more than dumb and irresponsible pygmies with so little knowledge of how to secure the safety of the children they were entrusted to look after. These people, with such small insular minds, have for centuries relied upon outdated methods and cultural superstitions to raise their children. From an anthropological perspective, it\'s interesting. A deep look into another culture without having to watch the Discovery Channel with a bowl of popcorn on your lap. But when children get hurt, when someone gets killed because he was wearing NO PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, it\'s time to take these \"quaint\" superstitions and flush them down the toilet. Or, at the very least, learn how to be more responsible.</p>\n<p>Those teachers who put their elementary school students through a military style boot camp are either some of the most irresponsible teachers on earth, or they are simply dumb as dirt. I would like to believe that it\'s the former. Koreans are simply not taught to be responsible for others, especially those who do not share the family blood. The higher and older one is in this Confucian society, the LESS responsibility one has and feels they have to take. The Korean version of responsibility falls upon the young and powerless. Once these people pass a certain age or enter a higher social strata, irresponsibility becomes acceptable behavior as one waits to be taken care of and venerated by the young. Irresponsible people grow up to become irresponsible teachers, who, in turn, pass that irresponsibility down to the next generation. It\'s a vicious circle that\'s not going to be broken anytime soon.</p>\n<p>So this making of excuses for the Korean co-teachers by Miss In The-dark and others at the Ministry of Education is as stupid as it is dangerous. According to her letter,</p>\n<p>(\"I know that you are sometimes asked to go in alone because the co-teacher is busy.\")</p>\n<p>Busy? BUSY!?! My fat, hairy, beer-filled, pizza-stuffed Western ass they\'re busy! Many of them are lazy good-for-nothings who take the opportunity to sit in the back of the classroom with their eyes closed and dream of Gucci handbags. Busy? Are they too busy to make sure that one idiot student is not punching another idiot student in the stomach? Are they too busy to ensure the safety and security of the very children placed under their care?</p>\n<p>Getting students to sit in their seats, be quiet, and take out their pens and notebooks is challenging enough even for the most seasoned of teachers. And EPIK is not helping to solve this problem by continuing to hire those with little or no knowledge of how to handle even basic classroom management issues. The marijuana monkey-boy advising his students how to \"roll roll roll a joint gently down the table\" was silly enough. Stupid and irresponsible too. But that was pretty small bloody potatoes compared to some of the co-teachers who ignorantly or deliberately put their students\' safety at risk by either not showing up for class or putting some of them through a military style boot camp without the proper equipment. The powers that be are, in affect, putting this country\'s children in danger by turning the other cheek whenever a courageous foreign English teacher attempts to point this out.</p>\n<p>Tragedies like the dead elementary school boy are just begging to happen more often. And because of the negligence of some of the co-teachers and the sheer stupidity and irresponsibility of the powers that be, there\'s a pretty good chance of something like this happening WITHOUT a Korean co-teacher in the classroom. Newbies don\'t know about all of the problems with EPIK or the public school system here before they arrive. They don\'t know how difficult it can be to work with co-teachers, bureaucrats, administrators, and public school officials--- many of whom lie, can\'t speak English well enough to communicate, and carry with them vendettas against the West that go back generations. </p>\n<p>They may not be aware that for centuries many people in this part of the world have drowned their own babies in rice paddies when they got tired of feeding them. For many years South Korea led the world in the export of their own children to Europe and North America for adoption. And thanks to medical technology such as ultra-sound and amniocentesis, thousands of female fetuses are aborted annually. I have 30 percent more boys in my grade one middle school classes this year. Thirty-five people kill themselves everyday here in South Korea, (one of the highest suicide rates in the world), many of them teenagers who failed who failed an exam. Newbies may also not know that people in this part of the world don\'t think in terms of three or six months down the road. That\'s the blink of an Oriental eye to those with a 5,000 year history. Many people are simply unaware of the strong resistance to change that permeates just about every segment of this society. \"Oh we tried that 700 years ago and it didn\'t work then\", is the common response when many teachers try to suggest something new. The people in this part of the world think in terms of decades and generations. Most of them have children so that in five decades they will be looked after in their old age. Children here are a means to an end. A form of social security. This right-brain kind of thinking is alien to me. This is not just a different culture. It\'s a different planet! </p>\n<p>So it\'s easy, (at least for me), to see why many in this part of the world still put their children, (and other people\'s children), in peril. And it\'s so easy for me to say this: Any co-teacher, Korean or otherwise, who does not accompany a foreign teacher to class every single time should not only be fired, but have charges brought against him or her for child endangerment. (In fact, being fired for child negligence would be the least of their problems.) That was the criminal act that Miss In The-dark failed to mention. Not the fact that an unlicensed foreign teacher walked into class without a Korean co-teacher, but the the fact that a licensed Korean co-teacher refused to go to class with the foreign English teacher. THAT\'S the crime. THAT\'S the immoral and unethical behavior. THAT\'S the mental illness and irresponsibility that purposely puts thousands of children a great risk for serious personal injury every day. </p>\n<p>It\'s also easy for me to ask these very important questions to educators and administrators at the MoE. How many more children must get hurt or killed before you start taking more responsibility, both professional and personal? How many more teenagers must throw themselves off 20 story apartment buildings before you start making your backwards educational system LESS competitive? How many more lives must be ruined before you start making education more cooperative and compassionate? After all, these are people I\'m talking about. Not commodities.</p>\n<p>The letter by Miss In The-dark was not intended to change things. It was meant as damage control. Plain and simple. It was meant to placate any potential dissent from parents who may somehow find out the truth about how poorly many of the Korean teachers work with foreigners. Remember the television documentary the Korean media wanted to make about the marijuana monkey-boy? Without the threat of this \"documentary\", there never would have been a letter to the Korean co-teachers, and this whole fiasco would have been swept under the rug. </p>\n<p>As for Miss In The-dark\'s second point, the disciplining of students, classroom management and maintaining control of the classroom is a very large part of an educator\'s responsibility. If the teacher is too lenient, the classroom becomes chaotic and very little will be accomplished. If the teacher is too strict, fear and intimidation become the norm and the teacher runs the risk of being seen as a dictator. It\'s an extremely difficult balancing act even for those experienced teachers in their own countries. Add the fact that EFL teachers are teaching not in their own country but in someone else\'s, and now we\'re dealing with a whole different series of potential problems.</p>\n<p>Even though I understand on a logical and intellectual level that certain cultural sensitivities should be followed regarding the disciplining of students by foreign English teachers , I can\'t help but see the MoE\'s request through Miss In The-dark\'s letter as just another way to put me--- the foreigner--- in my place. This request, to \"leave the disciplining of students to the Korean co-teachers\" is well and good, but what happens when the co-teacher refuses to discipline the students? Besides stripping me of one more responsibility as an educator, there are now far too many teachers here--- both foreign and Korean--- who are afraid of their students and simply want to be friends with them. Imagine being paired with a co-teacher who is afraid of the students and allows them to do whatever they want. I\'ve seen that right here in the public schools and it\'s not a pretty sight.</p>\n<p>It\'s not that I love to discipline students. I don\'t. But it is part of my job and I accept that. I have precious little time as it is to teach my students the English they need to know, so I would rather not waste class time telling students to sit down, keep quiet, and stop throwing things. For those miscreants who refuse to listen to simple classroom instructions, I do not (and will not) hesitate to squash any disruption in my classroom routine. As an educator I do not tolerate any student who is rude, disrespectful, uncooperative, and is, generally, a pain in the ass. Not in my classroom.</p>\n<p>From the moment I step into the classroom until the moment I leave, I convey these three very important messages to the students:</p>\n<p>1) I own the room.<br />\n2) I control the class.<br />\n3) I am responsible.</p>\n<p>The classroom is my house and I don\'t tolerate any disrespect in my house. I control the class, not the students, by seeing them as \"one body.\" This way, as a class, we accomplish whatever needs to get done. Although the students are responsible for their own learning, I am responsible for whatever else happens in the classroom. I am responsible because I control the class and I own the room. That way, I see to it that everyone does their job and no one gets hurt. Not in my classroom.</p>\n<p>Good teaching comes down to knowing your stuff. Great teaching comes down to responsibility. Either you take it or you don\'t. Far too many teachers wait for responsibility to be given to them while others shy away from taking any responsibility at all. That\'s unfortunate and tragic. Students yearn for responsible teachers. In fact, they need responsible teachers. Their future depends on it.</p>','','2007-10-31 22:41:45',1,'2007-10-31 22:41:45','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(81,4,'The perfect storm','the-perfect-storm','Dopey foreigners and mentally deficient Koreans part one','So Korea, go ahead and continue to hire unqualified native English teachers.

I love it when these things fall right onto my lap. Makes my job as a boat-rocker and a shit disturber much easier. I was on one of the teacher/ex-pat websites when I came across this beaut of a letter from an EPIK secretary. Let\'s call her Miss In The-dark because, well, that\'s basically where she and most of her colleagues are. Miss In The-dark was given the unenviable task of informing the foreign teachers in a certain province of South Korea about an unfortunate situation that took place in one of the public schools there. I\'ll let her say it. (I shortened the letter slightly and corrected any mistakes for the purpose of convenience.)<br />\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Dear teachers in Gyeonggi Prov:</p>\n<p>There has been a huge controversy regarding a native teacher in our province. Here is a short summary of what happened. (I will call the native teacher \"A\", so as not to mention the gender of the teacher.)</p>\n<p>\"A\" went to class without the co-teacher. \"A\" thought it would be okay since the co-teacher is sometimes busy. But when \"A\" couldn\'t handle the noise from the students, \"A\" sometimes swore at the class which some of the students understood. Other times \"A\" asked some noisy students to do push-ups to discipline them. </p>\n<p>Students complained that \"A\" showed them too many English movies and did too many pop-songs during class. One day while \"A\" talked about \'cultural differences\', (again, without the Korean co-teacher), \"A\" mentioned \'cannabis\', \'marijuana\', and \'heroin\', and even explained how to use them.</p>\n<p>These stories have been leaked and now there will be TV documentary about \'Native teachers in Korea\' focusing on teacher \"A\".\"<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>I\'ll stop here for now because I have something I want to say. I\'m bummed-out about the students complaining about watching too many movies and listening to too many pop-songs. What\'s next? Students in public schools complaining because they\'re receiving too much candy? I can see it now. A candy and pop-song revolt. Angry fifteen year olds holding placards chanting, \"We want more grammar or we\'ll throw you in the slammer!\" Serious students who want to study instead of play games? Say it \'aint so, Miss In The-dark. </p>\n<p>So let me see if I understand this. Teacher \"A\" swore at the students and some of them understood. You mean the students can understand \"F*ck you\", but they don\'t understand, \"Sit up straight and open your notebook?\" Do you see a problem here in your society and educational system? I sure do. Back to the letter.<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Yes I know this is probably one in a million, but it happened. Many schools, teachers, and students appreciate you coming to Korea to teach. Our office is aware of how good you are at teaching through open classes. </p>\n<p>Yes there can be confusion, frustration, and miscommunication with your co-teachers or school. Our office was very sad to hear about this native teacher\'s behaviour and how good native teachers will be seen by the public because of this incident.</p>\n<p>There have been many good reports about the advantages of having native ESL teachers in public schools. In fact, our office is helping a broadcasting team to videotape good native teacher\'s classes.\"<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Many schools, teachers, and students appreciate you coming to Korea to teach? MANY? You mean there are some schools, teachers, and students who don\'t? One in a million? ONE in a MILLION? Ah, Miss In The-dark, you are so kind. Much too kind. I know you may not have had much experience with foreigners in your country, especially the native English teachers. I appreciate that. And I know that you\'re just following orders like the obedient little Eichmann\'s that Koreans have been trained to be. But one in a million? Do you really believe that? Using your math, that would mean that there are only 30 people in Canada who smoke the evil weed, and only 300 in all of the United States. Hey, I guess we Western barbarians are not as barbaric after all. Good news!</p>\n<p>But wait! Five of those 30 Canadians and 13 of the 300 Americans who smoke those \"happy cigarettes\" were recently arrested right here in Korea. Imagine that! This according to a newspaper report by the JoongAng Daily under the headline, \"English teachers arrested on drug charges.\" (September 6, 2007.) What are the odds, huh? All in all, 23 people were arrested that day for drug possession and trafficking, including two Koreans and three Brits. The article goes on to say that \"Some of the teachers were intoxicated while teaching students.\" </p>\n<p>So you see, Miss In The-dark, one in a million is not quite accurate. Especially when one considers the periodic drug sweeps in your country which consistently nab a dozen or more people every time. Back to the letter.<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"To avoid any similar incidents, here are some announcements I would like to make:</p>\n<p>1) Do NOT go into a class to teach WITHOUT a Korean co-teacher. (I know you are sometimes asked to go in alone because the co-teacher is busy. In this case, refuse to teach alone.) Korean law states that unless one is duly licensed to teach in Korea, then one MUST be accompanied in the classroom by a teacher who is actually licensed. Even though you are teaching 100 percent of the class, a co-teacher must be present. Our office will be sending official letters to all co-teachers regarding this.</p>\n<p>2) Leave the disciplining of students to the Korean co-teachers. In recent years the punishing of students has been a huge controversy, so Koreans are very sensitive about this.</p>\n<p>3) Swearing to students is not acceptable... (but we all know that, right?)</p>\n<p>4) Using pop-songs and movies to teach English can be fun for the students, but too much will not... (but we know this too, right?)</p>\n<p>I wanted to let you know what happened and hope this will not happen again. Every one of you is a respected and valued member of the teaching staff. Don\'t forget that. (Insert smiley face here.)\"<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Really! In the original letter there was a smiley face at the end of that sentence. Oh, before I forget,</p>\n<p>5) From now on all teachers--- foreigners and Koreans--- must wear underwear!</p>\n<p>Ah man! You mean I can\'t teach commando anymore? Sorry. Couldn\'t resist. I don\'t know whether to laugh or cry. I\'m not sure which statement would be more accurate in attempting to describe the absurdity of this whole situation: (1) That this whole exercise in futility is so funny that it\'s tragic, or (2) that this whole exercise in futility is so tragic that it\'s funny! Where to begin. How about at the beginning. </p>\n<p>EPIK has been in operation since 1995 in some form or another, and since 1995 it has gone about hiring foreign English speakers, many of whom can barely teach a camel to piss on sand! In fact, many schools in this intellectually and morally bankrupt organization actually go out of their way and request a young, inexperienced, and nubile lad or lass to perform important functions--- like educating young people--- when the job clearly calls for someone with at least a modicum of intelligence, wisdom, educational acumen, morality, and life experience. The Korean, Japanese--- and, by extension, Asian--- fetish for young, inexperienced, and foolish native English speakers to fill the classrooms of their nation is stupid, irresponsible, and akin to a mental illness.</p>\n<p>It\'s easy to understand why this fetish for young people. Young and inexperienced teachers are a lot easier to control than us older folks with a big mouth and who like to rock the proverbial boat. Their inexperience coupled with the fact that many of the young teachers are scared shit less, being away from home for the first time, only adds to the delight of those who are so willing to take advantage of someone\'s youth and inexperience. Many older Koreans with a hint of xenophobia lick their chops at the prospect of having a young native English speaker by their side asking, \"So, what should I do now, Lord and Master?\" </p>\n<p>\"Well, talk about your culture?\", comes a typical response. \"Play pop-songs, play bingo, have fun.\" In other words, do everything but teach. Do what you like, as long as you don\'t make the Korean co-teacher look bad. After all, how good a teacher can you be when you\'re playing the latest Britney Spears ditty? How bad can you make the the co-teacher look when you\'re playing animal bingo? </p>\n<p>Talk about my culture? I\'d rather pluck my eyes out with a chopstick! Korean teachers everywhere celebrate whenever a foreign English teacher does something this stupid. It\'s not that I don\'t give a damn about \"my culture\", (whatever Canadian culture is). The reason I don\'t do this is because no one in Korea wants to see pictures of my Aunt Shirley and Uncle Moe standing ass deep in snow. I don\'t even want to see that! Only a Korean co-teacher with serious self-esteem issues would tell a newbie foreign teacher to spend precious class time talking about his life growing up on Prince Edward Island. Like 15 year olds in Busan really give a rat\'s bottom about Aunt Mabel and her delicious banana muffins. Insecure Korean co-teachers, who lack confidence in their own teaching ability, begin to look really good when newbie John starts showing home movies of his uncle Fester watching hockey. </p>\n<p>The real problem here is twofold: Newbie John really does have no idea what to do; and an insecure Korean co-teacher with serious issues of confidence and self-esteem does not want to look any worse than she already feels. She is more than content to let newbie John fall all over himself in his attempt to teach. She is not the least bit interested in helping the foreign English teacher succeed, (in her classroom and country, remember), when she is obviously having a problem seeing herself as a success. This is a problem many foreign teachers are having, and this is a problem that EPIK and many of the schools falling under her umbrella are not able and/or willing to solve. </p>\n<p>What these foreign teachers don\'t know, (at least not at the beginning), is that by acquiescing to these insipid requests to talk about their Aunt Gertrude winning first prize last year at the Minnesota State Bake-off to a bunch of bored 14 year olds, they are being set up to fail. By not stepping up and taking charge of the situation, they become willing participants in a dangerous and perverted game called \"Watch the Foreigners Fail.\"</p>\n<p>Don\'t believe me? Then let\'s look at some numbers. (Remember, numbers don\'t lie; people do.) Throughout last term, several foreign public school English teachers in one particular district of Busan had one of their classes observed by various people, from the school principal to an administrator from the Busan Municipal Office of Education. (All foreign English teachers from this year will have three of their classes observed and evaluated.) From what I was told, and from what was written on the \"official\" document faxed to my school by the BMoE, 30 percent of the foreign teachers passed the observation lesson, while 70 percent failed. (Those who failed will be sent to a re-education camp in North Korea where they will be forced to toil in the fields seven days a week, 12 hours a day.) Sorry. Again, I couldn\'t resist. (They will, however, have to attend another one of EPIK\'s infamous in-house training seminars where they will probably be taught, among other things, the fine art of using chopsicks.)<br />\nOne can only imagine the results of these evaluations city-wide and across the country!</p>\n<p>For the record, I was one of the 30 percent who passed. Big deal! What did I do to receive such an honor? I went into class and taught a real English lesson using the time-honored audio-lingual method of listen/repeat. After all, isn\'t this what I\'m supposed to be doing? This year I\'ve been very fortunate. I have helpful co-teachers and a very kind principal and vice-principal. Many others in this program are not as fortunate. As they say, no one can succeed on his own. My co-teachers and I work together to help our students succeed. And, in turn, our students help us to succeed as teachers. The young and inexperienced foreign teachers need help, and a lot of help if they are to become the competent and successful teachers they need to be. </p>\n<p>The same concept applies to failure. No one fails alone. I will bet dollars to donuts that most of the foreign teachers who fell into the 70 percent bracket were given a gentle and not so subtle nudge. Let\'s be blunt here. Seventy percent is just too high a number to be a mere coincidence. And what really galls me is the fact that I seem to be defending many of the same foreign English teachers that I have spent many of my columns railing against. So let me be very clear. I am no friend of most of the foreign English teachers in Korea. In fact, I dread the thought of being in the same room with most of these monkeys. The truth be told, I\'d rather spend my evenings all alone in my apartment watching endless reruns of \'Desperate Housewives\' than socialize with these EFL losers, many of whom have all the charm and social skills of a serial killer. But I also can\'t deny a lucid and glaring fact in all this, and here it is: The Perfect Storm.</p>\n<p>By focusing on recruiting mainly young and inexperienced teachers, EPIK is helping to ensure that the care and education of its children in the public school system is well staffed with those who have little or no knowledge of how to teach a second language properly and effectively. Remember, the marijuana monkey-boy of which Miss In The-dark speaks was actively recruited. So are thousands of others every year. Recruiters are paid up to one million won, (just over one thousand U.S. dollars) for every marijuana monkey-boy--- eh, excuse me, native English teacher that they can get over here. The five minute phone interview from someone half-way around the world usually consists of three questions:</p>\n<p>1) Do you have a Bachelor\'s degree?<br />\n2) Do you like Korean food?<br />\n3) Do you have hair just above your \"special place?\"</p>\n<p>If you can answer \"Yes\" to at least two of those skill testing questions, then congratulations, you got the job! (Again, I couldn\'t resist. But I\'m not far from the truth. In some of my interviews, I was asked the first two. I\'m still not sure what my reply would have been had I been asked the third question.) So why would recruiters care--- especially those of the unscrupulous kind--- who they\'re talking to? One thousand dollars goes a pretty long way when you need food on your table. And how in the world can anyone tell a good teacher from a bad teacher from a five minute telephone conversation?</p>\n<p>Now let\'s throw some another huge problems into the mix: Pencil-pushing and empty-headed bureaucrats, who have nothing better to do than interfere with your teaching; bored and nosy supervisors, who have nothing better to do than interfere with your teaching; and, in many schools, lazy and envious co-teachers who want nothing to do with a native English teacher setting up shop in what is supposed to be the Korean teacher\'s classroom. Now let the games begin! Watch the sparks fly! It\'s the perfect storm. In an atmosphere of this nature, which EPIK and many of the schools falling under her umbrella seem to be, is it any wonder that 70 percent of the native English teachers in my district failed the first of their three teacher evaluations? Quite frankly, I\'m shocked that 30 percent can pass an evaluation in that kind of teaching and learning environment. </p>\n<p>And if that\'s not enough, now certain members of Parliament are getting into the act. In a story from the September 16th issue of the Korea Times under the glaring headline, \"32% of Native English Teachers Found Unqualified\", Representative Lee Kyung-sook of the United New Democratic Party (UNDP) quoted a study which revealed that of the \"997 foreigners [who] have been hired from 2004 through 2006 to teach English at English immersion programs nationwide.... 326 or 32.7 percent of them were found not to have certificates, such as CELTA.\" The rate of unqualified teachers were even higher in other provinces, according to the survey. Didn\'t they realize this BEFORE the teachers were hired?</p>\n<p>Representative Lee concluded, \"To improve the quality of the program, it is essential to provide students with teachers [who have] appropriate certificates.\" Duh! You mean that Dave the plumber can\'t teach English with only his plumbing certificate anymore? Just how long did it take this educational mental midget to figure that out? It\'s not that I disagree with Representative Lee. The fact is, there are way too many bad and ineffective native English teachers in the system. But hey, many of them were actively recruited and hired. The Koreans who hired them knew the damaged goods that they were getting. This is why I don\'t feel the slightest tinge of guilt when I say about Miss In The-dark\'s letter,</p>\n<p>\"Hey Korea, you hired this idiot! You and your recruiter minions hired marijuana monkey-boy, and many others like him. So don\'t feign shock and surprise when marijuana monkey-boy starts to fling his feces around the room. That\'s what monkeys do. They certainly can\'t teach English. You see, Korea, this is what happens when you send a monkey-boy to do a man\'s job. A little damage control from Miss In The-dark? A bit too late for that now, isn\'t it? You want damage control? Stop hiring monkey-boys and start hiring real teachers.\"</p>\n<p>But will they do it? Will the powers that be finally start hiring real English teachers? Hell no! At least not until Koreans get over their superiority/inferiority complex. They have always had a love/hate relationship with the Western powers, endlessly vacillating between an unhealthy adoration of all things American and European and a pathological abhorrence to their dependence on Western aid, such as the U.S military. And, of course, many of the foreign English teachers feel caught in the crossfire. To compensate for this vacillation of feeling both good and bad about themselves, the powers that be in the Ministry of Education need a certain amount of foreign English teachers to fail. It makes them feel good. It reinforces certain beliefs that Westerners are barbarians after all. As a result, young and inexperienced native English speakers become pawns in a very nasty anti-foreigner war that is still being fought by too many people who refuse to move forward.

He begins teaching in the EPIK program in Korea the beginning of this month and, naturally, he\'s a bit apprehensive. I have a soft spot for newbies. It may not come across that way at times, but I do. Many newbies, although lacking in experience, come into teaching with enthusiasm and genuinely want to do well. Unfortunately, this business and profession being what it is, pays little attention and has even less time to devote to helping new teachers through their first few months of uncertainty, (and sometimes terror.) </p>\n<p>But fear no more, newbies. There are some good teachers out there to get you through these first rough few months of uncertainty. From those who say, \"Lay down the law the first week of class. You\'re not their friend, you\'re their teacher\", to those who offer good introductory first day lessons, there is a lot of good advice out there if one knows where to look.</p>\n<p>Some of the \"first day\" lessons found on many teacher\'s websites are fine. We\'ve all used those ubiquitous \"Find Someone Who....\" worksheets; some of us too often. But I have recently discovered something that I think all teachers can use which will make life in the classroom so much easier. </p>\n<p>I have recently read two books about teaching, \"There Are No Shortcuts\" and \"Teach Like Your Hair\'s On Fire\", both written by an extraordinary teacher in Los Angeles named Rafe Esquith. He teaches in a year round inner-city elementary school where most of his 10 year old students are financially poor and from Asia and Latin America where English is not spoken at home. In the first chapter of \"Teach Like Your Hair\'s On Fire\", Esquith talks about creating a classroom culture where students are expected to behave a certain way. These are not simply rules; they are behavioral expectations that are actively taught and learned. Esquith\'s behavioral expectations are straightforward:</p>\n<p>1) Be nice.<br />\n2) Work hard.<br />\n3) There are no shortcuts.</p>\n<p>His students listen. They are well behaved, even when he takes them on field trips across the country! They work hard. They read Twain\'s \"Huckleberry Finn\", Wilder\'s \"Our Town\", Salinger\'s \"Catcher in the Rye\", Harper\'s \"To Kill a Mockingbird\", and many others including \"The Autobiography of Malcolm X\" and \"The Diary of Anne Frank.\" They also perform one unabridged Shakespearian play every year. Did I mention that Esquith\'s students are 10 years old? And his students know that there are no shortcuts when it comes to learning anything, whether it be English, Math, or Science. Now this got me thinking. Ten year olds who rarely act out in class, read the classics, and perform and understand Shakespeare? How does Esquith do it? Well, he\'s a great teacher having won the American Teacher Award and the National Metal of Arts. And creating a classroom culture sure helps students focus on the task at hand.</p>\n<p>Before elaborating on each of my classroom culture objectives, a preamble about my classroom and how I prepare the students for each lesson. I have between 32 to 36 students in each of my middle-school classes. With the help of my co-teachers, we chose the top four students in each class to become student-teachers. We have also divided all the classes into four groups of eight or nine with one of the student-teachers leading each group. (Five groups of six or seven students would be fine as well.) Those foreign teachers who are already teaching in the Korean public school system know that we see each class but once a week. (Only on rare occasions do foreign teachers see the same class more often. By contrast, the Korean teachers have the same classes three times a week.) So, obviously, this does not leave the foreign teacher with much time to make a substantial educational impact. We simply must do the best we can with what we have been given. </p>\n<p>For one or two weeks, (depending on the length and content), I teach my lesson. The following week I hand over the same lesson to my four student-teachers in each of my classes and they teach it to their students in much the same way I taught it to them. (They are given a bit of leeway.) This gives my students the opportunity to show me how much of each lesson they understood, or if they understood anything at all! What isn\'t understood we do again and again until it is understood. Many of the younger and inexperienced teachers tend to breeze through things much too quickly, afraid of repeating certain things that need reviewing. I have made that mistake many times. </p>\n<p>I use an audio-lingual method combined with Stephen Krashen\'s \"Linguistic scaffolding\" theory which builds upon previous lessons. I use questions and answers and build upon them by using the five W follow-up questions plus How. The reasons for this are as follows: (a) The vast majority of the students are beginners, so a conversational approach would be useless; (b) These lessons are far more structured giving the students the discipline needed to learn a second language more effectively; (c) Given the structure and question/answer sessions, English is taught and learned a lot quicker than using a conversational approach; and, (d) This method places the teacher where he or she belongs--- at the center of the classroom where his or her authority is recognized and respected.</p>\n<p>With each question/answer lesson, I use the same simple and time honored EFL structure taught in almost all TESOL courses: Teacher to co-teacher (to demonstrate); teacher to student; student to teacher; and finally, student to student. There are times when I use the whole period (40-45 minutes) to model the activity. Again, don\'t be afraid to keep repeating until they get it. </p>\n<p>Now for creating classroom culture. I define classroom culture as the process of instilling certain universal values and behavioral expectations in your students to promote their well-being, facilitate learning, and to ensure any future success they may have. After all, success in the present leads to success in the future. My classroom culture objectives are as follows:</p>\n<p><b>1) Always come to class prepared:</b> The students must bring their notebook, pen, pencil, eraser, dictionary, etc. Whatever they need to help them learn English. This includes a positive attitude. Merely coming to class prepared is not enough. My students must also be prepared. This means sitting quietly in their seats and in their groups before I enter the classroom. </p>\n<p><b>2) Always keep the classroom clean: </b>If I see any paper on the floor, I tell the students to pick it up. A dirty classroom should never be tolerated. I will not start the lesson until the classroom is clean. I want my students to not only respect their teachers and each other, but to respect the sanctity of the classroom and the school as well.<br />\n<b><br />\n3) Be polite and show respect:</b> This doesn\'t only mean saying \"Please\" and \"Thank you.\" It also means never throwing things across the classroom. Far too often I\'ve seen students throw everything from pencils to books to their classmates. This also should never be tolerated. When someone needs a pencil or an eraser, a student must physically get up, walk over to the student in need, and hand it to him in a respectful manner. Students must also use the proper honorific when referring to their teacher. We must teach right speech AND right action.</p>\n<p><b>4) Pay attention and cooperate:</b> This means teaching the students to listen to the teacher and listen to one another. Listening is the first step towards cooperating with each other in order to get the job done and do the job well. </p>\n<p><b>5) Work hard and as a team:</b> Team work is important in my classroom. I\'m not looking for individual superstars. I want students who are team players. Everyone learns more that way. In working as a team, my students learn to plan their lessons carefully and to think before they act.</p>\n<p><b>6) Sacrifice your time and share your understanding: </b>Now we\'re getting to the heart of the matter. If a student understands something then he/she has an obligation to help another who does not yet understand. The students must help and support each other. I love to see a student physically get up, walk over to another, and kindly explain what he has just learned to someone who is struggling. If one team does not succeed in reaching the class/lesson objectives, then the other teams are responsible for helping them until they do. This shows respect, cooperation, and responsibility, and if we can teach our students that, then we are beginning to succeed as educators.</p>\n<p><b>7) Be responsible for one another: </b>Now we\'re deep into the heart of the matter. This is the crux of my classroom culture. Teaching my students to be responsible. Response-able. Or able to respond. Isn\'t this what compassionate people do in a compassionate society? Isn\'t this our main responsibility at educators--- to take on the responsibility of teaching others how to be responsible? What a thrill it truly is to see students taking responsibility for themselves AND others. If we can teach our students to naturally respond to others in need, then we are truly succeeding as educators.</p>\n<p><b>8) There are no free rides:</b> I don\'t want slackers in my class. If I see a student not pulling his weight, I let him know. The team is relying on him. The team either succeeds or fails--- as a team. The class either succeeds or fails--- as a class. In my classes, you will not get away with doing nothing--- and that includes my co-teachers and myself! There are no free rides.</p>\n<p>Here is a point by point, truncated version of how I teach classroom culture. </p>\n<p>*** Go over classroom culture. (Dictate it to the students; they write it in their notebook.)<br />\n*** Choose the student-teachers to write the classroom culture objectives on the board.<br />\n*** Check for spelling and other errors.<br />\n*** Co-teacher translates to ensure understanding.<br />\n*** Give each group leader two big sheets of white paper (B4) along with markers, (black, blue, and red.)<br />\n*** Each group is responsible for writing two of the eight classroom culture objectives as well as draw a corresponding picture to illustrate their understanding of them.<br />\n*** Each of the groups will act out their classroom culture objectives in the form of a three to five minute skit (in English, of course) in front of the class. (They will be given the appropriate time to practice.)<br />\n*** The posters will then be hung on the walls of the classroom and referred to when needed. </p>\n<p>All this will usually take somewhere between two to two and a half hours, or about three 45 minute classes at my middle-school. It can take a bit longer, (and perhaps should take longer since this is important), or the teacher can alter the activity based upon the level of the students, the length of the class, or whether the teacher is teaching at an elementary school, a middle-school, or a high-school. But it\'s well worth the time and effort. Of course each teacher should be free to create their own classroom culture objectives. Whatever works for you. The teacher can also take their classroom culture objectives and walk their students through them one by one. Personally I love to take the boys, have them walk over to the girls, and watch as they hand a girl a pencil or an eraser in a kind and respectful manner. You\'ll get a lot of shy giggles out of this, but there is a serious component at play here. Boys who learn to respect girls grow up to be men who respect women. </p>\n<p>Something interesting happened recently regarding number three, \"Be polite and show respect.\" I had just finished handing out the paper and markers to each group when I noticed, out of the corner of my eye, one boy who took the opportunity to throw the cap of a glue stick at one of his classmates. I firmly told him that this behavior is not allowed and demonstrated this by throwing his glue stick at the blackboard. I then handed him a sheet of paper and a marker and told him to do number three. What picture did he draw to illustrate \"Be polite and show respect?\" He drew a picture of two boys standing opposite one another with one of the boys throwing an object at the other. Between the two boys are the words, \"Don\'t throw glue cap.\" Well, maybe I\'m getting through after all. </p>\n<p>Teachers must ask themselves some very important questions before attempting to apply classroom culture objectives in their classes. These are the questions I\'ve asked myself, (and still ask.) Besides teaching English, what else do I want to teach my students? What do I truly want them to learn? Besides teaching my students English effectively, how else can I be an example for them? What are my main or primary responsibilities as an educator? What do I want to accomplish? And, how can I continue to improve myself and my teaching while still holding true to my principles and values? Very important questions, indeed. Here are some of the answers I\'ve come up with through reflection and introspection.</p>\n<p>The three most important values in my classroom are, (in no particular order), respect, responsibility, and cooperation. I hate competitive classrooms. That\'s my bias. It\'s unfortunate that new teachers today are taught to put their students into groups for the primary or sole purpose of competing against another group, usually at the expense of respect, responsibility, and cooperation. A little bit of competition can be fun at times, but when teachers and students use a competitive game to run roughshod over others, then all educational value is lost. A great opportunity was lost by the teacher to teach the fine art of cooperation and taking responsibility for others.</p>\n<p>A big problem with the public school system in any country around the world is the fact that so many teachers don\'t want to take on the responsibility of teaching their young students how to behave responsibly. Far too many teachers want to make their students feel good as opposed to teaching them how to do good. This may feed the teacher\'s fragile ego, especially those teachers with low self-esteem. But we are not doing students any favors by being their friend or, heaven forbid, allowing them to dictate curriculum. </p>\n<p>I want my students to know that I\'m in charge. I want them to know that I also have their best interests in mind. They need to know that in my classroom they will learn and learn quickly. They need to know that my classes are based on cooperation, not competition. My students need to know that they are also teachers; that they have a responsibility to help others in need. My students need to know that in my classroom we don\'t laugh or make fun of anyone, we assist and support them. I want my students to respect others who work hard and set an example. And I want them to respect the sanctity of the classroom by keeping it clean. Yes I want my students to feel good, but only because they have done good. </p>\n<p>Let\'s take my classroom culture objectives and turn them inside-out. It is not too far of a stretch to imagine a classroom where most of the students don\'t come to class prepared; where the classroom is usually dirty; where many of the students are impolite, don\'t show respect, don\'t pay attention, are uncooperative, don\'t work hard or as a team, don\'t sacrifice their time or share their understanding, are ir-responsible, and think of the classroom as one free ride. Walk into just about any public school in any nation and, odds are, you\'ll see much of this in action. Read the open forums and message boards of just about any teacher\'s/ex-pat website and, odds are, there will be dozens of teachers on any given day complaining about their students, their school, or the educational system. Who in their right mind would want to work in an atmosphere like this? But thousands of teachers around the world do. </p>\n<p>The bottom line here is that we can do much better than this. Every parent and teacher has an obligation to do better.<br />\nIt is a huge tragedy beyond human comprehension that there are millions of children around the world that never learn respect, responsibility, and cooperation either at home or in school. Whether it be that parents are too busy or that teachers are too apathetic, adults are failing children, (their own and others), the world over. By creating a classroom culture where children learn to respect one another, cooperate with each other, and take responsibility for their actions, teachers are compelled to treat each student as their own. This is the golden rule of the classroom: Teach each and every child the way you would want your children to be taught. </p>\n<p>Creating and adhering to good classroom culture objectives does several things: </p>\n<p>(1) Classroom culture allows the teacher to get things right from the beginning;<br />\n(2) The students learn exactly what is expected of them;<br />\n(3) The students learn to focus on the task a hand;<br />\n(4) Classroom culture helps to mitigate the likelihood of serious and repeated disciplinary problems.</p>\n<p>Of course there will always be problems. No school or class is trouble free. Dealing with the problems that inevitably arise will be a lot easier when teachers and students stick to a classroom culture that allows for everyone to grow, learn, and succeed. I consider classroom culture to be a precursor to classroom management, although the two are interrelated. What we teach at the beginning lessens the likelihood that students will act out during the year. If we teach students respect and responsibility right from the start, then they should not behave in a disrespectful manner during the year. And what could be more important for an educator than to teach respect and responsibility in a world full of disrespect and irresponsibility?</p>\n<p>We imagined a hellish scenario where there is no classroom culture. A \"Lord of the Flies\" classroom where students run roughshod and control whatever is left of the learning environment. Now let\'s imagine a classroom where the students and their teacher work side-by-side in an atmosphere of cooperation and trust. A classroom that is always kept clean and where the students are prepared to learn. A classroom where polite students listen to one another and cooperate with each other to complete a given task with pride. A classroom where the students respect not only the teacher and each other, but also the classroom as a sacred place of learning and sharing. Imagine a classroom where students work hard, sacrifice their time and energy, and share their understanding with their fellow classmates. A classroom where each and every student is treated equally and valued for who they truly are. A classroom where each and every student is given the opportunity to reach his or her potential. Imagine a classroom where each student naturally takes responsibility for every other student. A classroom where the good students help to lift others up. Imagine.</p>\n<p>This is what I imagine everyday. Am I there? Not even close. But I am getting closer day by day. It\'s hard work, and I will never give up. Imagine a classroom like that and work towards it. As educators, I do not think we can do better than that.</p>','','2007-08-31 23:02:59',1,'2007-08-31 23:02:59','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(83,4,'You are the solution','you-are-the-solution','what foreign teachers don\'t want to hear','Many foreign teachers forget that they\'re not in Kansas anymore, and demand that their hosts adapt to them rather than trying to find a middle-ground where a reasonable compromise can be reached.

In last month\'s column, \"Losers To The Right of Me, Morons To My Left: Why I\'m Quickly Becoming TEFL\'s Number One Enemy\", I outlined some suggestions to the problem of why many teachers are so miserable, and some solutions as to how to get their lives back on track. I\'m sure some people got it. But others didn\'t as witnessed by some of the responses found on a few of the various websites where I posted my column. This doesn\'t surprise me. After all, we\'re not dealing with a bunch of Einsteins here. To repeat: You are the solution. Be thankful for what you have. Rise above the human fray. Do your best for the students. Or, to quote Mahatma Gandhi: \"Become the change you seek in the world.\"</p>\n<p>Is that too difficult to understand? For some it is. For some people, these solutions are frightening. Why? Because it shifts the responsibility for change from others on to you. Foreign English teachers here in Korea, and elsewhere, are so quick to blame their hosts for just about everything. Especially for the fact that they hate change or anything that smacks of change. People love the status quo. That\'s nothing new. Yet these very same foreign teachers that bemoan that fact on open forums, are themselves extremely reluctant to change, whether it be their attitude or their way of doing things. Many forget that they\'re not in Kansas anymore, and demand that their hosts adapt to them rather than trying to find a middle-ground where a reasonable compromise can be reached. If many foreign teachers are the problem, (and they are), then they are also the solution. </p>\n<p>I recently had dinner with a friend in Bangkok, a teacher with whom I used to teach at AUA. He had a very poignant, yet important way of seeing this universal truth. To paraphrase him, don\'t see every confrontation or potential confrontation with your school as a problem. See it as an opportunity. An opportunity for compromise; an opportunity for growth; an opportunity to learn; and, most importantly, an opportunity to turn a potential lose-lose situation, (in which a confrontation will inevitably lead), into a win-win situation, (if the two parties are rational and smart enough to see beyond their own limited world view.) Now this guy is no idealistic, Pollyanna backpacker. He\'s 57 years old and has been around the block a few times. Admittedly this isn\'t easy, and I wish I would have practiced this years ago. But it\'s well worth it if you want to avoid huge problems, and value working in a comfortable and relatively stress-free environment. </p>\n<p>As I mentioned in last month\'s column, I teach in EPIK, a government program which places foreign English teachers in South Korean public schools. The program has potential, but it is riddled with problems from head to foot. Since the program is run by paper collecting, pencil pushing administrators and bureaucrats at the municipal level, (although this keeps changing. EPIK was recently handed over to the Ministry of Education in Seoul), EPIK currently has teachers ranging from 20 something year old newbies to 50 something year old professionals. That\'s fine if the program wants an eclectic mix of teachers with individual characters and styles. There is something positive to be said for this. But there is no national standard for EPIK. Never has been, probably never will be. That is something each teacher must deal with at his or her own school.</p>\n<p>For those teachers who arrive in time for the beginning of the school year, (EPIK hires through recruiters all year round), teachers new to the program receive a three day orientation. (According to EPIK, this will be expanded to 10 days beginning on September 1, 2007.) What teachers think of this orientation varies from somewhat helpful to totally useless. For the most part, teachers are left to their own devices. After years of being micro-managed at various schools, I find this hands-off approach to be very refreshing. Since starting with EPIK in April 2006, I, as well as many other teachers, have been given complete freedom to experiment and to implement their own educational program to help the students learn. This freedom does come with responsibilities. Far too many foreign teachers still see themselves as \"edutainers\", preferring to play the class clown rather than taking their jobs seriously. One Busan EPIK teacher in a Yahoo chat group for teachers openly bragged about doing nothing in class except for playing Jeopardy. A very constructive way to spend taxpayer\'s money!</p>\n<p>I am concerned, however, for many of the newbies in the program who are serious about teaching and who want to give their best where the students are concerned. They are the ones who really need support and are not getting it. A mentorship program matching new teachers with veteran teachers should be implemented as soon as possible. This mentorship program can happen on its own, without the help of EPIK as friendships among teachers are naturally formed. The trick here, of course, is to avoid the foreign riff-raff that has a tendency to parade itself in and out of Korea on a regular basis. It should be noted that this freedom in the classroom was not given to the foreign teachers out of the goodness of EPIK\'s heart. The truth is, EPIK has absolutely no idea what to do with us--- in or out of the classroom. To many Koreans, we are a pack of ET\'s who simply took a wrong turn somewhere and are looking for our mother ship to take us home. I have no problem with that perception. As long as the foreign English teachers know what to do when put in a classroom situation.</p>\n<p>Which brings me to another problem with the EPIK program: Co-teaching with a Korean teacher. It can either be heaven or hell. A big problem here is that neither the Korean teacher nor the native English teacher has been trained on how to work together in the classroom. The vast majority of Korean teachers in elementary schools and a significant majority of Korean teachers in middle-schools are women. Traditionally, women in Asian societies have received little respect. If they do receive any respect, it is usually in the classroom where teachers in this part of the world have been held in high regard for centuries. So it is understandable, though not acceptable, that many of these Korean teachers tend to view their classrooms as their own little fiefdom. </p>\n<p>Now let\'s throw a foreign teacher into that classroom. It doesn\'t really matter whether he\'s a trained professional with years of experience or a young backpacker. He will, most probably, be resented by many of these Korean co-teachers simply for being there. If he\'s young and inexperienced, he may cower in fear and intimidation by his co-teachers. If he\'s older and more experienced, like myself, he may tell those co-teachers where to go. Either way, this complete lack of training, and quite frankly, a total lack of concern for this matter on the part of EPIK has created a pseudo-marriage of convenience between the native English teacher and the Korean co-teacher for the sake of the children. A few months ago I spoke with an district EPIK supervisor in Busan about this, and other problems many of the foreign teachers are currently facing, and she had no idea about any of these problems and concerns. Or she claimed to have no idea. Many of the supervisors simply don\'t want to know. </p>\n<p>As I write this, I am currently in Thailand on a six week vacation. It is a paid vacation, just like the Korean teachers. Six weeks in the summer and six weeks in the winter. So far, so good. I\'m thankful for what I have and do my best to become the changes which I seek in others, but I do realize that not everyone in EPIK has it this good. In Busan, the city in which I teach, six week paid holidays twice a year are the norm, and those who want to teach in a three week summer or winter English camp receive extra pay. I chose to do the camps last year, but chose not to this summer. But it isn\'t the same in other parts of the country where school principals and administrators have chosen to follow the contract to the letter. </p>\n<p>Just about all EPIK teachers have similar contracts. Mine states that I\'m entitled to ONE week paid vacation in the summer and one more in the winter. It also states that when teaching in a summer or winter camp, that teachers are NOT entitled to extra pay. But principals and education administrators in each region are free to interpret the contract as they see fit. Confused? You should be. This is now what\'s happening.</p>\n<p>Remember, in Busan I still receive full paid vacations and extra pay when doing English camps. If or when that is taken away, then it is time to seek employment at another school or in another program. A friend, who taught in a middle-school just around the corner from me, recently finished his contract. Since he had a few problems at the school, (specifically with co-teachers), and because he wanted to be closer to Seoul, he transfered within the same program to a high-school in Incheon. A few weeks before transferring he met with an EPIK administrator at the national level in Seoul. He was promised fully paid vacations and a nice apartment within walking distance of the school. Once he got to the school he was told (by the school) that there was no nice apartment, (for the first week he lived with a Korean teacher until a one room studio apartment was found), and was also told by the school that he had to report to school every day of his summer vacation. There was, in fact, no vacation. Because of this experience, he has written a letter of resignation and plans to leave Korea on September 1st. </p>\n<p>His first mistake, of course, was believing this idiot who promised him everything under the sun. After all, he\'d been in Korea a little more than a year and left his first school because, as he put it, \"people kept lying to me.\" For me, the apartment was neither a problem nor an issue. It was brand new and free. That this lying administrator and the school never spoke with each other to either confirm or deny the administrator\'s outrageous promises, (which he probably had no intention of keeping), is also not surprising.</p>\n<p>Do these foreign English teachers really expect honesty here? Are they that naive? Do they really expect the EPIK bigwigs to say, \"Hey listen Johnny Englishteacher, you can work at a public school but let me be honest with you. You\'ll probably live in a very small one room apartment. There\'s a pretty good chance that your co-teachers will resent you from the moment you step into class, and will not want to help you either with lessons, lesson preparation, or with classroom management. Vacations? Yes, one week in summer and one week in winter. But you\'ll have to report to school everyday and twiddle your thumbs. Summer and winter camps? Oh yes, we have those. And the best part, Johnny Englishteacher, NO extra pay! So you\'ll be spending your summer and winter holidays working for nothing! Isn\'t that wonderful? Aren\'t you happy you came to Korea? Now here\'s a pen. Sign the contract.\"</p>\n<p>Before you start laughing, (if you aren\'t already rolling on the floor in fits of hysteria), the truth is that these pencil pushing administrators have a quota to fill, and they\'ll say anything to get you to sign on the dotted line. Surprised? Here\'s another truth: Hundreds of people have already signed this contract and are still signing it as I write. There is no other EPIK contract available. Now here\'s the trick. Don\'t follow it. The Koreans aren\'t. Sometimes they do when it suits them. Like when foreign teachers complain about every little thing under the sun and have proven that they can\'t be trusted. For thousands of years, Koreans, and other Asians, have not relied on contracts to conduct business. The Chinese sign contracts then start negotiating only AFTER the contract has been signed by both parties. That\'s how you play the game here. For years foreign English teachers have been fighting for contracts as if pieces of paper will somehow magically transform their dull and mundane lives into something magnificent overnight. \"Give me a contract\", they demand. \"Before anything, I want to see the contract.\" Well, now you have a contract. Happy now, you dummy? Obviously not. Does the adage, \"Be careful what you wish for\" mean anything to these teachers?</p>\n<p>On the EFL open forums, teachers are now blaming Koreans for \"forcing\" them to work at summer camps for no extra pay. Forcing them? Are guns being held to their heads? Are their arms and legs being broken by goons wielding baseball bats? No one is forcing anyone to do anything they don\'t want to do. It\'s a choice. Just like I chose to spend my vacation in Southeast Asia. What\'s next? Being forced to cut the heads off chickens if they want dinner? Being forced to wrestle alligators in their underwear? I shouldn\'t joke about this since these are serious allegations, but why blame Koreans for this? They are just doing what millions of people have done for thousands of years: Get some people to work for nothing. You have to admire that. I\'m not sure whether I should be pissed off or impressed. Americans can\'t even get Mexican migrant workers to work for nothing. I\'ve been lambasted for calling many foreign English teachers losers and morons. What\'s more moronic, Koreans who have gotten foreign English teachers to work for nothing, or the foreign teachers who have chosen to do so? </p>\n<p>My friend, who says he\'s now leaving Korea on September 1st, told me that some teachers are actually being threatened with a loss of pay if they don\'t show up to school during their vacation. This is absurd, not to mention against the law. Now who knows whether this is accurate. I\'m sure that the Koreans making these threats have their own version of the story. They like to call it a \"misunderstanding\" or a \"language barrier.\" In my six plus years in this country and ten plus years in this profession, I have experienced my fair share of \"misunderstandings\" and \"language barrier\" problems. Everyone has their own version of the truth in this part of the world.</p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with teachers volunteering some of their time either teaching or helping out with extracurricular activities, if that\'s what the teacher chooses. That\'s what dedicated and caring teachers do. But it must be of their own volition. It must be voluntary. A teacher must never be threatened or coerced in any way when it comes to the giving of their time or energy.</p>\n<p>My friend also mentioned that whenever he meets his fellow English teachers in Incheon, many of them seem so downtrodden, so depressed, so forlorn. It\'s as if they have been beaten down by the system. It\'s not the system that has defeated them. They had no will to begin with. No backbone. No spine. No balls. The Koreans who run this program have won the war without firing a shot. It\'s as if they have gone out and actively searched for the best possible people for the job: Docile and naive English teachers who won\'t fight back under threat. Cowards who run and hide under fire. Recent university grads to afraid to speak up because of massive student loans to pay back. This is the REAL tragedy here: Not that the foreign teachers have lost their voice. But that perhaps EPIK, with the help of their recruiter minions, are actively seeking those with no voice to begin with. After all, those with no voice or money are a lot easier to control.</p>\n<p>If this is the case, (and it\'s a very big \"IF\"), then those of us remaining must expose this nonsense for what it is and shine a light directly on it. If this is not the case, (and I\'m inclined to believe that it\'s not the case at all), then this nonsense is nothing more than bullying on the part of some Koreans. And if it\'s nothing more than bullying on the part of some Koreans, then obviously many foreign English teachers have forgotten what it was like in high-school. What do we do when picked-on by a bully? We fight back. We don\'t ignore him in the hopes that he\'ll go away. We don\'t give in to his threats. We don\'t allow him to take our lunch money and punch us in the nose. We fight back. Regardless of whether the bully is a clueless administrator, an ungrateful principal, an idiotic supervisor, or an uncooperative co-teacher, we fight back. We show him that we\'re not afraid. Bullying and threats should never be tolerated. I\'ve fought back when under threat and I\'m still here. The bully may not like it, but at least we get some respect.</p>\n<p>A friend, whom I mentioned in last months column, likes to say that many Koreans have no business acumen. They have no idea, he claims, that in order to attract more customers, you have to please them. You can\'t lie to them. And you certainly can\'t piss them off. All true. That\'s how a lot of business is done--- in the WEST. Remember, these same Koreans that my friend rails about, have gotten at least dozens, perhaps a couple of hundred, (no one seems to know for sure), native English teachers to give up their vacations and work at summer and winter English camps for no extra pay. That sounds like damn good business skills to me! I wish I had those business skills. And those people who rail against this only wish they had those business skills too.</p>\n<p>Here\'s more: On May 16th, 2007, EPIK teachers received a newsletter in our email from only God knows where telling us about all of the positive changes coming soon, like employing a national ombudsman to answer teacher\'s complaints and concerns to extending the orientation and training program. Included in all of this \"great news\" was a promise to pay each EPIK teacher 100,000 won (about $110.00 U.S.) for each teacher we get to sign on the dotted line and become a part of the EPIK family. It\'s interesting to note here that EPIK pays recruiters 10 times that amount or one million won for every teacher they recruit. One hundred thousand won. Wow, what will I ever do with that? </p>\n<p>This shows great business acumen. It really does. Remember, this from the same organization that has gotten foreign English teachers to give up their summer vacation and work at a camp for no extra pay. Why should the teachers complain about this, (which many of them are), when 100,000 won is 100,000 won more than they\'re getting for doing the camps? This is Korean logic and business acumen in action. Deal with it! And if teachers don\'t want to deal with it, then say \"NO!\" Teachers can\'t allow themselves to be taken advantage of and then blame those who took advantage of them. That\'s insane. </p>\n<p>I remember reading on one of the teacher\'s websites how one teacher, upon reacting to working the camps for no extra pay said, \"Well, at least we get our regular pay.\" Ya! And employees at McDonald\'s get a discount on their happy meals. Does that compensate for flipping burgers? Perhaps someone should tell these idiot teachers that bending over with your pants down around your ankles is perhaps not the best position to be in when attempting to negotiate. </p>\n<p>For those who have the audacity to ask why some Koreans are doing this: BECAUSE THEY CAN! Because some native English teachers have allowed them to get away with this in the past and continue to allow them to get away with this now. People will always attempt to do what they think they can get away with. This is human nature. Didn\'t mommy and daddy teach their little darling EFL teachers this before they left for Koreastan? Didn\'t they learn this in PC university back home? Don\'t they know that if they continue to bend over with their pants down, someone, somewhere is eventually going to stick something up their ass? Now some EPIK teachers are deathly afraid that even our vacation pay will soon be taken from us. And why wouldn\'t they be afraid. These idiot teachers with their pants around their ankles have set a dangerous precedent. Don\'t blame EPIK. Blame these idiot teachers who seem to be saying, \"Screw me now; screw everyone else later.\"</p>\n<p>Here\'s a life lesson brought to you by Dr. Phil. We teach people how to treat us. That\'s right. EFL teachers are not only responsible for teaching English, they\'re also responsible for teaching our adult hosts how we want to be thought of, perceived, and treated. Our actions speak louder than words. If some teachers behave like an idiot, then he deserves to be treated as such. If some teachers behave in a professional and mature manner, then he deserves to be treated as such. It all starts with the teacher. It starts with how we choose to behave. You are the solution.</p>\n<p>History is replete with examples of the so-called innocents being led like lambs to the slaughter. Should we blame the sheep or the sheep herders? The exploiters, or those who allow themselves to be exploited? If foreign English teachers continue to allow themselves to be led down the well-worn path towards their own exploitation, then they have no one to blame but themselves. </p>\n<p>Nothing will change unless the teachers themselves change it. You are the solution. Instead of taking to the open forums and ripping each other apart, grow the backbone necessary not to allow yourselves to be led down the well-worn path towards your own self-destruction. Instead of being angry at me for exposing the real problem and the solution, get angry at yourselves for not standing up to the bullies who want to take your benefits away. Instead of sitting back and waiting for someone else to solve these problems, take a proactive stance and become the problem solver. Like I said last month, and for so many months before that, change your attitude; rise above the human fray; become not the problem but the problem solver; see a problem as an opportunity for growth; learn the art of compromise and negotiation; become the change you seek in others; and always remember, you are the solution.</p>\n<p>As for those who can\'t handle all of the responsibilities inherent in becoming the solution, then go ahead and continue to poison the EFL forums with your venom under the guise of anonymity. Continue to rip other English teachers apart on open forums instead of looking into yourselves to see where the real problem lies. And don\'t forget to mention me. </p>','','2007-07-31 23:14:25',1,'2007-07-31 23:14:25','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(84,4,'TEFL\'s number one enemy','tefls-number-one-enemy','Losers to the right of me, morons to my left','There are many successful teachers here in Korea and elsewhere.

I like to peruse a few of the ex-pat/EFL teacher websites. There are so many that it\'s tough to keep up. On the forums of these websites you\'ll find a lot of garbage from people, losers and morons I like to call them, who, for obvious reasons, should not be in the classroom. Yes, the words \"Morons\" and \"Losers\" are in the title of this column. There will be some who probably think that I misspelled \"Mormons.\" Morons! I can see the angry letters coming in now. </p>\n<p>I\'ve been lucky enough to have some dear friends here in Pusan, some veterans of this profession and some newbies. I love newbies. I really do. They come with that baby-fresh smell that\'s so appealing. In all my years on the road, I have found that there are two kinds of newbies: The smart ones and the dumb ones. I like the smart ones better. Here\'s why.</p>\n<p>\"I\'ve been in Korea for two weeks now. Where can I buy toilet paper?\" This request was found on one of the websites that caters to newbie English teachers. Two weeks without toilet paper? One must wonder what he\'s been using thus far.</p>\n<p>Other questions and statements from dumb newbies are just as silly. </p>\n<p>\"Where can I buy good soap and Colgate toothpaste?\"<br />\n\"Where is the best place to wash my clothes?\"<br />\nPlease help, I\'m hooked on protein bars!\"<br />\n\"I need a cheap airplane ticket to the Philippines. Where can I go?\"</p>\n<p>And my personal favorite,</p>\n<p>\"I have a big stain on my bed sheet--- long story. Need a good dry cleaners. PM me with info.\"</p>\n<p>These are real questions and statements from people who, supposedly, graduated from university. And what\'s frightening is that these bozos are in classrooms all over Asia. How do you help a 27 year old who doesn\'t know where to buy soap and toothpaste? At the grocery store, you frickin\' moron! Even a 10 year old knows that. How do these people put their underwear on in the morning? Obviously, writing lesson plans and teaching English effectively seems to be the least of their problems. And did it ever occur to the moron with the stained bed sheet to throw it out and buy another one? Oh wait. He\'ll probably have to post another message asking where he can buy a new bed sheet.</p>\n<p>If anyone doubts how easy it is to get a job \"teaching\" in Korea, or in most other places, just read the story in the June 20th edition of the Korea Herald under the headline, \"Thriving in the Hermit Kingdom.\" Herald reporter Frank Smith writes,<br />\n__________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"When asked why he came to Korea, Andy Rocks, from New Zealand responded, \'It was easy. I was lying on the beach drinking D.B. Brown--- the cheapest beer there is--- read a classified ad, gave them a call, and two weeks later I was here.\'\"<br />\n___________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Well, gawawwleee, Jethro! Slap my bare ass and call me schlomo! Did you bring your banjo with you, Andy? I hope you know where to buy toothpaste, Andy. And toilet paper. After all that D.B. Brown you\'re going to need some good old fashioned two-ply. What a great advertisement for the profession. The article continues,<br />\n___________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Initially he \'didn\'t like it a bit,\' after getting dropped off at his apartment from the airport at 9:00 p.m. and heading to the local McDonald\'s only to get bumped around in line by a middle-aged woman. After a while, Rocks got used to life here and \'worked out what to do, how to order beer and food, how to get by.\' He came here to save and live, and stayed to fund travel, although he also admits \'there were some girls involved.\'\"<br />\n____________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Nothing wrong with saving money, drinking beer, and travelling. Especially when \"some girls\" are involved. But did you notice that our friend Andy said nothing about teaching? None of that Thoreau philosophical stuff about going into the woods \"to live deliberately.\" Not one of Covey\'s seven habits of success was mentioned. Just beer, food, travel, girls. Now it could be that Andy has become a very good teacher during his time here. There are plenty of opportunities to improve yourself. It could very well be that Andy, well--- Rocks. But judging by the amount of losers and morons that parade themselves in and out of Korea every year, I highly doubt it.</p>\n<p>To be fair, it\'s not only newbies that post silly stuff. At least it\'s funny, if not just a bit tragic. Many of the veterans in this business have become so vicious, so vile and vindictive that it\'s scary. It\'s a frightening fact that the longer one stays in TEFL, the more one blames others for their problems. And the list of others to blame grows exponentially the longer one stays in the business. </p>\n<p>When teaching English in Korea, free housing is part of the benefit package along with paid airfare and a yearly bonus. Free housing is a rarity in this business and one should be thankful for it. With the exception of a few cases, the housing in Korea for EFL teachers is modern and comfortable. Some of the apartments may be a bit small, but with Seoul being the third most expensive city in the world right now, EFL teachers should be even more thankful that they have free housing at all. </p>\n<p>But are they? A quick glance at any of the open forums here in Korea would prove otherwise. I teach in a government program called EPIK, or, English Program in Korea. It has a multitude of problems, but that\'s the subject for another column. EPIK places English teachers, (and you must use that term very loosely here in Korea), in the public school system where we teach alongside Korean co-teachers. Each school, (at least in the city of Pusan where I teach), is alloted 50 million won, (about $54,000 U.S. at the current rate of 930 won to the U.S. dollar), for one foreign English teacher for one year. This 50 million won pays the teacher\'s salary, (1.9 to 2.5 million won per month depending on the teacher\'s experience and qualifications), any key money involved in securing the apartment, plus monthly rent, furniture and appliances, the airfare to and from the teacher\'s home country, and the teacher\'s one month bonus at the end of his contract. This is more than enough to live comfortably.</p>\n<p>It\'s not uncommon for EFL teachers to openly criticize, on ex-pat forums, their apartments for being too small, too ugly, to uncomfortable, etc. And remember, except for utilities and a small monthly maintenance fee, the apartments are free! This is the epitome of ingratitude. It\'s worse than being invited to someone\'s house for a free meal, then complaining about the food. There is a solution to this nonsense. Unless your bathroom is outside and you have to walk three kilometers to take a leak; unless your apartment is full of cockroaches so large that one is waiting for you in the morning to ride you to school, any teacher who complains about a free apartment should be fired on the spot. </p>\n<p>Many of the complaints by these EFL losers are as endless as they are frivolous. Some have been known to complain because their pillows are too hard, or their shower isn\'t strong enough. Others don\'t like the shade of their wallpaper, or how their toilet seat isn\'t soft enough and doesn\'t quite accommodate their fat ass. Then there are those who constantly post on EFL forums that they have to stay at school until 4:30, even though they have finished teaching one or two hours before. What in the world in wrong with these people? It\'s not as if most of them are innundated with things to do and people to see. The bars here don\'t open until six. Obviously they have never been taught a work ethic.</p>\n<p>One solution would be take this privilege away. Since far too many foreign teachers feel content to see this benefit as a right and an entitlement, take this benefit away and have these teachers look for their own apartments. Japan does this. So does Thailand. It takes balls to complain about something given to you for free. Would these EFL morons feel entitled to a free apartment, paid for by the taxpayers, were they still residing in their home countries? But they certainly feel entitled to one here. Where is all this \"courage\", I wonder, when these same foreign losers are being treated unfairly by their employers? </p>\n<p>Most of these teachers have never seen $54,000 U.S. in one year, let alone lived on it. Many of them owe that, or more, in student loans. Wal Mart, McDonald\'s, and Pizza Hut do not pay their employees close to that for stacking canned goods on store shelves or for flipping burgers. It is the very ambitious goal of EPIK to hire 3,000 native English teachers to teach in South Korean public schools within the next few years. (Whether or not EPIK can reach this goal is another matter.) At today\'s rate, to place and maintain three thousand native English teachers in Korean public schools will cost the Korean taxpayers 150 billion won, or about 162 million U.S. dollars a year.</p>\n<p>That\'s not chicken feed. Important questions must be asked here. Namely, are Koreans getting their money\'s worth? If the answer is no, then adjustments on both sides need to be made. Given that enormous sums of money are being spent on hiring and keeping foreign English teachers, it is imperative that only the right ones be hired. It is extremely important, to Koreans and foreigners alike, that the wheat be separated from the chaff. Good, qualified, dedicated, and caring teachers must always have a place in good schools. Whiners and complainers, losers and morons, who have nothing positive to contribute, should not only be fired, they should never be hired to begin with. There is far too much at stake--- namely, the education of children--- to allow the nonsense found on ex-pat forums to continue.</p>\n<p>I have a wonderful friend, new to the EPIK program this year. His name is Bill from Tampa, Florida. Bill and I meet on Fridays for some food and drink. He has stories. Man does he have stories. Here\'s my favourite. Before coming to Korea, he was a student teacher at an inner-city public elementary school in Tampa when, one day, he walks into his grade four class. He sees a nine year old boy standing on his desk holding a knife. When Bill enters the room, this boy shouts, \"Yo, 305 in the house motherfucker! What ya gonna do about it?\" (For those unfamiliar with gang lingo, 305 refers to the area code in which this boy was a gang member.) What a boy! His parents--- may they rest in peace--must be proud. </p>\n<p>Now Bill is no slouch. He comes from a military background. His response was quick and brilliant. \"305, my ass. Sit your motherf**king ass down! You\'re in my class now.\" The boy was shocked and did what he was told. Talk about classroom management! In the same year in that same inner-city school, there were four student on student shootings, over 60 stabbings, and over 130 students arrested for carrying knives and firearms. And this was an elementary school! </p>\n<p>Now let\'s contrast this situation with the reality of teaching in a Korean public school. Bill will be the first one to tell you that he has never seen a student standing on a desk brandishing a knife and yelling, \"Yo, Mr. Kim Bong-nam in the house motherf**ker!\" He has never seen a student stabbed at his school. As for guns, none of that either. Sure, some bad-ass dudes steal money from others. And in the three middle-schools in my area, there is a roaming girl-gang who likes to beat up other girls and steal their cell phones. Bad boys and girls here? Yes there are, but it\'s a far cry from being stabbed or shot in Inner-city, U.S.A.</p>\n<p>Lest we get too complacent when taking for granted that most EFL\'ers already know this. The problem with most EFL\'ers is that they have no basis for comparison. No perspective. Most EFL\'ers in Korea, or in most other countries around the globe, have not taught for one minute in the North American public school system. Unless you\'re a Sunday school teacher in Butt-crack, Saskatchewan (pop. 412), where the most the locals do is exchange apple pie recipes and take turns milking Elsie the cow, then your view of reality of the Western public school system will tend to be a bit skewed, to say the least. And yes, there are some morons out there who actually believe that teaching in a Korean public school is the worst experience there is. I have recently butted heads with a few of them on one of the websites here.</p>\n<p>One more thing about my friend Bill. For a while, he was homeless. Living on the mean streets of Florida taught him a thing or two; namely, to be thankful for what you have. He happens to live in a comfortable three room apartment provided for him by the taxpayers of this nation. And he\'s thankful for that. But you don\'t have to have been homeless to appreciate a free apartment. Just smart. </p>\n<p>Now here\'s an idea for EPIK, or any other teaching program that has plans to employ EFL teachers. Hire the homeless. That\'s right. Send your recruiters to large North American urban centers and search for those living on the street or in the park. Offer them a job teaching in your school. Hey, it worked for Andy Rocks of New Zealand and thousands of others before him. Clean them up. Give them a haircut, shave them, clip their four inch toe nails, and buy them a nice pair of shoes. Now they\'re ready to teach. </p>\n<p>Are they qualified? Well, no, but--- how many in this business truly are? Will they be dedicated? That remains to be seen. Will they be thankful for a free apartment? Hell Ya! Will they know where to buy soap and toilet paper? I certainly hope so. I should stop joking now. The EFL losers and morons on the ex-pat forums will think I\'m serious. And maybe, just maybe, there is some truth to all this insanity.</p>\n<p>And wouldn\'t you know it? The very same teachers that are leaving EPIK because the apartments are too small, (among other things), are the first ones to blame EPIK for hiring fresh-off-the-boat newbies. EPIK already knows that 25 year old backpackers with a $50,000 student loan debt will not complain about their free apartment being too small. After all, they have 50,000 reasons not to. Don\'t these moronic EFL\'ers realize that by complaining about everything under the sun they make it so much harder for everyone else, especially those who like it here and are having a positive experience? Perhaps it is time for them to learn from the others who are having a positive experience.</p>\n<p>People leave the program and the teaching profession for a variety of reasons. They may try it for a year or two and realize that teaching children their ABC\'s in not for them. Or they have grown tired of all the red tape and bureaucracy. Or they have become angry and frustrated at an educational system or a workplace that values mediocrity more than excellence. Fair enough. They now face a clear choice: Change your attitude or leave. </p>\n<p>Here\'s a universal truth: Those who are happy in their work; those who are making a positive difference in the classroom; those who are successful in the job, tend not to leave them. Successful teachers find a way to succeed--against the odds. Successful teachers succeed not because of the system, they find a way to succeed in spite of the system. Successful teachers neither blame the system for their failures, nor do they rely upon it for their success and for the success of their students. Successful teachers don\'t need the system. They wake up every morning knowing exactly what to do and how to do it. They have a vision. They have a mission. And they\'re not afraid to teach in accordance with their mission. Do successful teachers often fail? Of course. But they pick themselves up, learn from their mistakes, and move on. That\'s what makes a successful teacher.</p>\n<p>I\'m now in the middle of the most successful year in my 10 years of EFL teaching. Why? Because of the universal truth about success. I may have some great people around me, that\'s true. But I do not rely on them for my success. I rely on myself and my own experience. I have been given the freedom to put an educational program in place that will help my students learn English better and faster. And I have chosen to rise above the fray. Unlike the multitude of EFL losers and morons found on ex-pat forums around the globe, I do not blame others for my failures. I blame myself. </p>\n<p>There are many successful teachers here in Korea and elsewhere. I have been lucky enough to work with many great teachers. But they are a rare breed, indeed. Successful teachers don\'t allow the system to beat them down. They rise up to answer the call again and again. Unfortunately, far too many EFL\'ers are unsuccessful because they allow themselves to be beaten by the system. What these morons in EPIK don\'t realize is that being an EFL teacher in a public school is the easiest gig they\'ll ever have. Most of the work has already been done for them before they even get there. The books have been chosen, the lessons and materials, in many cases, pre-ordained. All they have to do is teach. </p>\n<p>If you are not convinced by now that I\'m very quickly becoming TEFL\'s number one enemy among EFL teachers, just go on one the the many ex-pat/teacher forums where I post my columns. On these threads you\'ll find other teachers who \"want to use your head as a tether ball\", and one who wishes that a group of teachers meet me in a dark alley to \"give you a dental realignment.\" I\'ve had others write me personal emails and telling me to do something that, anatomically speaking, would give me a staring role on Ripley\'s Believe it or Not. Quite frankly, I wear all these threats as a badge of honor. I know I\'m on the right track in my attempt to infuse some sanity into this profession.</p>\n<p>To all EFL teachers: Be thankful for what you have, do the best you can for your students, rise above the human fray, and, most of all, develop a positive attitude, however difficult that may be. If not, then watch yourself become angry, bitter, and frustrated, and fail time and time again. </p>\n<p>To EPIK and other educational programs that hire native English speaking teachers: Support the teachers. Help them. Be there for them. Most of all, value them as teachers and people. Many of us are simply doing the best we can with what we\'ve got. And if that fails, HIRE THE HOMELESS!!!</p>','','2007-06-30 23:21:15',1,'2007-06-30 23:21:15','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(85,4,'Delusions of the lowly and mediocre','delusions-of-the-lowly-and-mediocre','A letter home from the mad world of an English teacher','Dear Mom and Dad.

Wow, I can\'t believe it\'s been five months since I arrived in Pusan, Korea. Imagine that. Me, a 26 year old recent University graduate with five months teaching under his belt. Well, five months of playing hangman and bingo, but we won\'t tell anyone. Just imagine, last year I was getting my B.A. in Sociology, (minor in Leisure Studies), and stacking cat food part-time on the shelves of Wal Mart. And now, bam! I\'m a teacher. Glad I refused that job offer at Burger King. If only the guys can see me now. </p>\n<p>My students are amazing. They pick up English so quickly. All you have to do is say many words and they repeat after you. Well, some of them do anyway. Others sleep in class. But who can blame them? They go to school 14 hours a day. I really feel sorry for them. Each and every one of my students are little golden rays of sunshine. That\'s how I treat them. And how respectful and obedient they are. They never forget to bow to me as I enter and exit the classroom. I wish I can take all of them home. We can learn a lot from their system.</p>\n<p>As you know I teach in a private school. Here in Korea they are called \'Hagwons\', or academy. I think it means academy. The director, Mr. Kim is really nice too. There are many people named Kim in Korea. Maybe 10 million. Mr. Kim hasn\'t sent me to Japan yet to get my E2 work visa, so I\'m still working illegally. But he said that when he saves up enough money, he will. He also hasn\'t paid me for last month and has only partially paid me for the previous two months. So I\'m missing about $3,000. But I know he\'s good for it. Believe it or not, some teachers don\'t get paid at all! I guess I\'m one of the lucky ones. Only $37,000 and I\'m free and clear from my student loan.</p>\n<p>The food here is incredible. And very healthy. Lots of fish, veggies, soup, and rice. You can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. You\'ll be happy to know that I\'m losing weight. I\'m now down to 96 kilos. Koreans eat something called kimchi with every meal. It\'s spicy cabbage and it\'s delicious. They claim it prevents cancer so I\'m eating a lot of it. And it makes me crap like a bear. Nothing like a bit of kimchi to clean out your guts. They do have meat dishes too. Something called Galbi and Bulgogi. They barbecue it over open grills and wrap it in leaves accompanied with sauce and many side dishes. I love this because it helps to put me back in touch with the caveman in all of us that modern society has unfortunately left behind. (I learned that in sociology.) Of course there are American restaurants here like McDonald\'s, Pizza Hut, TGI Fridays, and Outback. But who needs all that when you have Mandu-guk, denjang-jigae, and rice cakes?</p>\n<p>Two nights ago I got drunk on makkoli, a traditional rice wine, and threw up on the street. Since many Koreans do this a lot, nobody noticed. So I just picked myself up and stumbled home. Speaking of home, I live in a one room apartment. Well, it\'s a room actually. Six whole pyung! (One pyung is 3.3 meters.) But it has a bed, a desk, and a TV with stand. My microwave is on the TV and my CD player is on the microwave. It may be small, but it\'s clean and cozy. My room looks out onto a small alley. So at night I hear children crying, dogs barking, and cats in heat. Nothing like a little night music to put me to sleep in the Land of the Morning Calm.</p>\n<p>There\'s also something called \'soju.\' Many of us foreigners, (and Koreans), drink it. Sometimes we have contests to see who can drink the most soju and remain standing. We call this, \"Last Man Standing.\" So far my record is three and a half bottles, but I intend on breaking that record very soon. </p>\n<p>The TV shows here are interesting to say the least. Lots of women crying and men beating their wives. It\'s refreshing to see people so in tune with their emotions. And the children on these shows are always so happy. Running around and playing games, they are. But you know what they say? At the end of the day, we\'re all people. We all have the same needs and goals. The same wants and desires. People are people, wherever you go in this world. At least that\'s what I learned in sociology back home. </p>\n<p>I\'m on several ex-pat websites, (is that what I am now, an ex-pat? And when does one go from a newbie to an ex-pat anyway?), and have made many new friends. One of these websites is www.pusanweb.com. We go by strange names like Ignint, ReNamed User, Lumberjack, Woodsman, Stardusk, and Dogarse. There is even a woman on there who calls herself Extreme_Girly_Girl. But from what I hear, she\'s too extreme and not enough girly girl. There is even a Spanish professor who goes by the handle \'Ewok.\' (May the force be with him.) Some of us meet sometimes in bars, (they\'re called \'hofs\' here), and talk about how great our lives are and how lucky we are to be here. We eat chicken and share huge pitchers of beer. Then we go home alone and masturbate to soft-core Korean porn on cable TV. </p>\n<p>Last weekend was fantastic. I met a few of the English teachers in a bar and guess what? One of them was bi-polar, just like me. And another teacher was so depressed he kept talking about killing himself. Isn\'t that fantastic? And yet another teacher told me that she takes anti-psychotic medication. If it weren\'t for her meds, you\'d never know that she has Tourette\'s syndrome. It\'s nice to meet other teachers here with similar problems. And it\'s so nice of the Korean people and their government that they are not afraid to employ such \"damaged\" Western people. So understanding of them to put us into the classrooms of their nation and to bestow upon us the awesome responsibility that comes with educating their offspring. I wish we in the West were that open-minded and accepting of others. </p>\n<p>On pusanweb there are probably 20-25 of us regulars who like to \'shoot the shit\' as they say. There are many socks as well. These people take a second or even a third identity so that they can back up their points when trying to make an argument. There are more socks on that forum than in the little boys section at Wal Mart. (Ha-ha!) We got all kinds on pweb. Anti-Americans, holocaust deniers, white supremacists, and religious nuts just like back home. In fact, whenever I log on, I feel like I am home. </p>\n<p>There is one guy on who uses his real name. Steve Schertzer. What an asshole. He claims to be so much better than everybody else. He keeps talking about responsibility and how teachers should be professional and more dedicated. Screw him! Who does he think he is anyway, Mother Teresa? Anyway, this Steve Schertzer guy, (if that\'s is his real name), has been known to write columns for the Korea Times, a real pro-foreigner newspaper if I ever read one. He goes on and on about how most native English teachers in Korea, (and elsewhere), are scum; little more than losers and social misfits who probably couldn\'t get a job stuffing envelopes in the North Pole. What a monkey! What a buffoon! He claims that he uses a teaching method that guarantees results, and that his students learn English so much faster than everyone else. What a moron! </p>\n<p>We really ripped him apart on pusanweb. And we\'ll do it again if he dares to show his ugly face. We called him everything from a child molester to a misogynist and just about everything in between. Serves him right, criticizing us like that. Just because many of us are here to make money, drink, have fun, and play games with our students doesn\'t mean that these holier-than-thou, self-righteous English teachers can have their way with us. This Schertzer guy probably doesn\'t even know how to teach. He said that he had so much fun in Thailand. Maybe he should go back to Thailand and get laid.</p>\n<p>Speaking of getting laid, the women here are incredible. So slim and beautiful. Not just physically, but inside too. So coy and charming they are. So pure and pious. So loving and loyal. I haven\'t been this horny since dad bought me a subscription to Hustler magazine for my sixteenth birthday! And the best part: Most of them still live at home. I met one the other day. We went out for food and beer. She told me that she wasn\'t interested in holding my hand or kissing me goodnight. She just wanted a free English lesson. Wow! You really have to admire their honesty. Unfortunately we had to cut the evening short because she had to be home by 10:00 p.m. After all, it was Friday night and she was 27 years old. You have to admire such strong family values here. Such high ethical standards and moral turpitude. No point rushing them out into the real world too early. Better to keep them naive and innocent.</p>\n<p>I know several teachers who are married to Korean women. The guys all tell me the same thing. They spend their vacations in Thailand or the Philippines drinking and having sex with prostitutes. That\'s amazing. Imagine being married to such a loyal and understand woman that she would allow her Western husband to go to South East Asia and cavort with ladies of the evening. Talk about having your cake and eating it too! </p>\n<p>Anyway, I should end this letter now. It\'s almost time to get drunk. I know it\'s only 2:30 but it\'s 8:00 somewhere. I do hope Mr. Kim sends me to Japan soon. Word from the grapevine has it that Immigration is doing a sweep around the neighborhood. Just last week some guy got caught teaching without a visa and got deported. They say he was also fined a million won. That\'s over a thousand dollars! But it won\'t happen to me because I\'m careful. And Mr. Kim said he likes me. And, of course, there are the students. I walk into class and they\'re all smiling. Except for the ones that are sleeping. And throwing paper airplanes. And hanging each other out the window. I feel like Sally Field at the Oscars. They like me. They really really like me! </p>\n<p>Say hi to sis for me and give the twins Chip and Dale all my love. I miss your apple pie mom, but the black-bean cakes almost make up for it.

In the immediate aftermath ex-pat websites became inundated with foreigners ready to cast blame and recrimination at Koreans, Korean society, and especially the Korean media. The blood of the victims had not yet congealed when members of www.pusanweb.com had these things to say:</p>\n<p>April 18th, 4:20 AM: \"I won\'t be surprised if the Koreans blame America because Americans had taught Cho and turned him into a monster.\"</p>\n<p>April 18th, 8:21 AM: \"I know many ex-pats who are thinking the same thing.\"</p>\n<p>April 18th, 8:40 AM: (In response to the first message.)

There is more, of course, and a lot worse. I knew this was going to happen. So on the morning of April 18th, just past 8:00 AM, I wrote this on that same forum:<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"This is an unfortunate tragedy for everyone--- Americans and Koreans alike. It\'s also a great opportunity for us as an ex-pat community to express our deepest condolences and sympathy not only for the victims and their families back in the U.S., but also to show our support and solidarity with the Korean people. </p>\n<p>This is a time of heartache and shame for the Korean nation that one of their own has done this. The last thing we need to do is turn this into some sort of anti-Korean diatribe. It is our responsibility as an ex-pat community--- indeed our obligation--- to view this tragedy for what it is: An isolated incident, an act of a troubled young man.</p>\n<p>Let\'s not tar a whole nation for the actions of one person. Our hosts deserve at least that in their time of need and understanding.\"<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Tar a whole nation and its people is exactly what many members of the foreign community did. And that\'s despicable. On the Korean forum of Dave\'s ESL Cafe, whole threads had to be pulled and reviewed by moderators because certain posters could not contain their venom towards Korean society. </p>\n<p>What many foreigners don\'t understand is that Koreans have taken this tragedy to heart, even when they didn\'t have to. That was the important thing missed by many foreigners here. After all, Cho Seung-hui had spent the last two-thirds of his life in the United States, and was very familiar with American values and customs. What these vicious foreigners in their zeal to condemn Korean society seemed to have missed is the sense of clanship found in Korea, a clanship almost non-existent in American society. This is why when crimes are committed in this part of the world, the criminal is always referred to by his family name, his first name being irrelevant. This is why when a crime is committed here, the whole family feels a deep sense of shame, a level of shame so profound, that we in the West are often at a loss to explain it. That is why the Korean people and the Korean nation have apologized so profusely. In the minds of intelligent and rational Americans and Canadians, Cho Seung-hui represented no one but his sick self. In the minds of many Koreans, Cho was still a member of a group.</p>\n<p>This lack of understanding of Korean society should not excuse those ex-pats for their stupidity, viciousness, and lack of tact when discussing this tragedy. That Koreans have sincerely apologized for the fact that someone much more American that themselves could have committed such a horrific crime shows a level of class, dignity, and human decency not found with many of the foreigners here. That several foreigners have taken this tragedy as an opportunity to rub salt into the fresh wound of their hosts is unforgivable and the epitome of insensitivity.<br />\nFor those of us who have spent a considerable amount of time in Korea, it\'s not difficult to understand why many foreigners are angry at their hosts. Many EFL teachers are still being treated very poorly at language schools, and the xenophobia that many Koreans still feel is palpable and easily felt within the foreign community. In particular, politicians and the Korean media have been known to stoke the flames of xenophobia and anti-Americanism in the past, and, at times, continue to do so. </p>\n<p>For example, on June 13th 2002, just prior to the World Cup, two Korean middle-school girls were accidentally run over and killed by a USFK armored vehicle. Although the U.S. military apologized profusely and gave money to the families of the girls as per Korean custom, the media and politicians here had a field day. In fact, the current President of Korea, Noh Moo-hyun rode the anti-American wave all the way to electoral victory. I was here at that time teaching at a language school in Daegu. For several months these anti-American flames were spread within Korean society to the point where elementary school students were drawing pictures of the American flag with blood dripping from it, and U.S. servicemen looking like monsters.</p>\n<p>That same year American comedian Jay Leno made a joke during one of his monologues about Koreans and boshintang, or dog soup. Many Korean-Americans were up in arms, threatening to sue the comedian. Leno later apologized for the remark. Many Koreans still become upset at how they\'re portrayed in Hollywood movies. (Then again, isn\'t everyone?) And at the 2002 winter Olympics, the Korean speed skater tripped the American, Apolo Anton Ohno, and was disqualified giving Ohno the gold metal. This also lead to months of anti-American protests and the burning of American flags.</p>\n<p>The thin-skin of Koreans is well known to anyone who has lived and worked here. Learning to live with that reality is certainly a challenge. But that does not give the ex-pat community the right to kick a nation when it\'s down. Many of these foreign fools can hardly remember what they had for lunch yesterday, but moments after this tragedy they can suddenly recall events that happened five years ago. I guess Koreans are not the only people suffering from selective memory syndrome. </p>\n<p>The least these foreigners could have done was wait until the bodies of the victims reached the stage of rigor mortis before launching into their anti-Korean tirade. Foreigners certainly have the right to air their complaints about living in Korea. However, their timing was more than a bit suspect. That the foreigners and ex-pats, who engaged in this horrible behavior, refused to take a step back and allow the dust to settle before attempting to discuss this tragedy is a living testament to their lack of intelligence and compassion. </p>\n<p>It has been said on ex-pat websites, newspapers, and elsewhere that Korean-Americans living in the U.S. now fear a backlash again them. Although it\'s a legitimate fear, it won\'t happen. Again, Americans tend to see tragedies like this as the work of a very troubled individual. What we should fear, however, Koreans and foreigners alike, are these vicious and insensitive posters and their ilk who, with their anti-Korean agenda and a personal axe to grind, continue to perpetuate an atmosphere of us versus them. It is not native Koreans in the U.S. who have something to fear because of the tragedy at Virginia Tech. It is Koreans right here at home who should beware of those anonymous foreigners who continue to post their venomous hatred of Korea on open forums. They are not as anonymous as they think. </p>\n<p>I would like to think that these foreigners are a minority, a very vocal minority who drown out the intelligent and thoughtful majority of those in Korea who enjoy their lives and jobs. But judging by the sheer volume of pages and negative posts on these open forums, I\'m not so sure.</p>\n<p>One thing is certain however: These vicious and racist posters had a choice. They could have taken this opportunity to show understanding and sensitivity at a time when their Korean hosts needed it the most. Or they could have taken this opportunity to, as one poster put it, \"jab at the heart of anti-American, ultra-nationalist, arrogant, hypocritical Koreans...\" They made their choice, and they made it loud and clear. Now I feel that I must apologize profusely for the arrogance, racism, and insensitivity of a great many foreigners in Korea. Now I feel the shame and embarrassment of being a foreigner here. </p>\n<p>That many in the ex-pat community have taken this very inappropriate time to spew their venomous hatred and racism on various Internet forums is just another indication of how emotionally disturbed and socially depraved they truly are. Perhaps it is now time for the Korean authorities to take a long and hard look at just who they allow into their country. </p>','','2007-04-30 17:13:34',1,'2007-04-30 17:13:34','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(87,4,'Teacher as leader','teacher-as-leader','An article in the Korea Times','Far too many native English teachers come to Korea with neither plans nor goals in dramatically raising the English language ability of their students. Having failed, they then blame the Korean education system for being uninspiring and unprogressive.','<blockquote><p>What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.\"<br />\n---- William Morrow.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The immaturity and lack of leadership among foreign English teachers here in Korea never ceases to amuse and amaze me. Many of us veterans chalk this up to relative youth and inexperience , especially those who are living away from home for the first time. While that may have something to do with it, it goes beyond that.</p>\n<p>South Korea, like many other nations that employ native English teachers, are inundated with immature Westerners who have not a clue about how to teach the very language they speak. Many, if not most of these teachers, play it safe in the classroom. They take neither risks nor chances. Instead they choose easy activities and games or simply \"go by the book\" in hopes that they get by without the slightest effort. They become sycophants, acquiescing to the establishment that clearly does not have their best interests at heart. In other words, many native English teachers are simply too afraid to teach anything substantial.</p>\n<p>This is not about native English teachers \"rocking the boat.\" This is about doing our job well. This is about taking pride in what we do. This is about putting in place a pedagogical system which will guarantee the success of both our students and ourselves. This is about taking the leadership role that is expected of us and should be expected from ourselves.</p>\n<p>With few exceptions I employ, and plan to continue to employ, the Callan Method, (www.callan.co.uk). This audio-lingual method for second language acquisition promises the learner English in a quarter of the time it would usually take to learn English using any other methodology or approach. It is quite demanding on the teacher since we have to speak almost constantly, but I employ this method with great and almost immediate results. With the Callan method, my students begin to speak in full and coherent sentences within weeks, while students using most other methods needs months (or years) before beginning to speak English with confidence. </p>\n<p>Far too many native English teachers come to Korea with neither plans nor goals in dramatically raising the English language ability of their students. Having failed, they then blame the Korean education system for being uninspiring and unprogressive. While admittedly, the Korean education system does need reform, many of the native English teachers here stubbornly refuse to look into themselves to see how they have partly contributed to the lack of progress by their students. I have, and that is why I have chosen to use a method of second language acquisition which promises that students learn English much faster. </p>\n<p>Instead of badly needed reflection and introspection, many native English teachers choose to congregate on web sites like www.pusanweb.com  and bemoan the fact that they are here instead of taking the initiative to become leaders in their profession. While their immaturity is understandable, it should not be accepted or tolerated. Many of them simply do not have enough wisdom and life experience to know how to become leaders. </p>\n<p>They don\'t realize that success rests not on what we expect and demand from others, but on what we expect and demand from ourselves. They don\'t know that in order to succeed, certain conditions must first be put into place. Success just doesn\'t happen. They are unaware that it\'s less what others do that will determine the quality of their lives here in Korea, it\'s what they themselves do. They don\'t know that to live properly, we must ask not what life can do for us, but what we can do for life?</p>\n<p>As Nietzsche said, \"He who has a why to live can bear with just about any how.\" That is a big problem with many foreign English teachers. They have no why. They have no idea why they\'re here. Most mope around with little or no specific purpose in Korea other than to spend a year here, soak in a little culture, pay off a student loan, then go home having accomplished next to nothing in the classroom. </p>\n<p>It is unfortunate that far too many native English teachers in this country have left their courage on the tarmac of their home city\'s airport. I realize that it is not easy to live and work in a foreign country, especially a country as different as South Korea. But that is no excuse to give up. That is no excuse to capitulate to those very people we are supposed to impress. We come from countries where people are unafraid to show initiative, yet many of us cower under our beds when faced with even a little adversity. </p>\n<p>It may be that most native English teachers are doing their best given the difficult and, at times, trying circumstances in which many of them find themselves. But are they giving their best? Is this the best we can do? Are we teaching to the best of our ability and potential? I\'m afraid that the answers to these questions are obvious. By not giving their best, by not living up to their full potential, native English teachers have made failure an option. They have settled for maintaining the status quo, mistakenly thinking that just getting by is good enough. Maintaining the status quo should never be an option for ESL teachers who, instead, should be leaders.</p>\n<p>It is now time to prove your worth, English teachers! Just because others all around you are failing doesn\'t mean you must throw in the towel as well. It is now time to shine. It is now time to strut your stuff. It is now time to weave your magic and show the world what great English teachers you truly are. Now is the time to look inside and see what lies within us so that we can tackle the challenges that lie before us.

I got a phone call from a company that had viewed my mini resume, minus photo, on some Web site.</p>\n<p>They had asked me to send my full resume with photo. No problem, I sent it. I then received an email from the director, or whoever she was, telling me THE COMPANY IS LOOKING FOR ONLY WHITE PEOPLE! (Bold type, hers.) What was even more degrading, is when this \"person\" had enough gall to tell me that Korea is a racist country and always will be, so I shouldn\'t take it personally and not to feel bad because the blacks have it worse here.</p>\n<p>She closed her statement by saying, \"I don\'t know why you came to Korea, but you should go back to America because Korea will not change, so you may continue to feel this kind of prejudice.\"</p>\n<p>HELLO? WHAT? (Bold type, hers.) Although I\'m not 100 percent white, (my mother is Korean and my father is German), I was born, raised, and educated all my life in America. So I was \"surprised\" to hear this comment. If Korea doesn\'t consider people with one foreign parent to be \"white\", nor are they \"Korean\", what do they consider them to be? </p>\n<p>I actually came to Korea because I have always admired Korea and the Korean people, so I felt this was a great opportunity to come and get in touch with my \"roots.\" But never have I been so ashamed to have Korean blood run through my veins as I was this afternoon!! Makes me feel totally sick to think that this country is trying to \"westernize\" itself through hip-hop, western fast foods, languages and cultures. KOREA, if you want to play with the big boys, YOU NEED TO GROW UP FIRST!!!! (Bold type and exclamation marks, hers.)<br />\n___________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Obviously this kind of racism is not unique to Korea. All over Asia non-whites have always had trouble finding a job in a private language school and the public school system where looks tend to prevail over experience and merit. Poor and ignorant hiring practices among those in charge is only one the many problems facing the TESOL industry. Ageism is another. Japan is infamous for hiring mainly young teachers. Those over 40 years of age will have a lot of trouble finding work there. And last year when I was in Mexico, one school told me that they were only looking for teachers under 25. I wanted to ask how many of their teachers had pubic hair, but I though that that question may be too rude. It seems ironic that many Asian cultures, where older citizens were once revered for their wisdom and experience, are telling many older citizens of Western nations that their wisdom and experience is neither wanted nor needed.</p>\n<p>An interesting social phenomenon is happening here in South Korea and I wonder if it\'s happening anywhere else. Two people come to mind, two people that are openly celebrated in Korean society: Hines Ward, the wide-receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who is half-Korean and half African-American, and Sandra Oh, the Emmy award winning Canadian-born actress to Korean parents. Oh currently stars in the TV series Grey\'s Anatomy. That the accomplishments of these sports heroes and entertainment celebrities are celebrated in a society that still views half-Koreans as little more than circus freaks seems to be a wonderful step forward. Or is it? </p>\n<p>Is it the Korean-ness of these people that have made them the stars they are today? Or the westernization? Is it only the Korean aspects of their race that the Koreans are celebrating in relation to Hines Ward and Sandra Oh, or do they see how a certain amount of westernization may have contributed to their stardom and overall success? And what of Tiger Woods, who is half-Thai and half African-American? Same question: Do the Thais see Tiger\'s Thai-ness as the only contributing factor that has made him the world\'s greatest golfer? Or does his Americanization have something to do with it as well? These are important questions seeing that more people are travelling than ever before, and that more people are marrying and having children with those of another culture and race.</p>\n<p>The reason that the accomplishments of Hines Ward, Sandra Oh, and, for that matter, Tiger Woods is celebrated in Korea and Thailand can be related to the very fact that they are successful. They have nothing more to prove, (at least in the minds of those who celebrate them.) They have already proven their worth regardless of what society they happen to live and work. Call it the \"Hines Ward Effect.\"</p>\n<p>Back to Gloria and the not-so-unique problems she and others are facing when trying to find teaching jobs in Asia. Gloria, and others like her, do have a special talent. They can teach English as a Second Language. But since half-Koreans or half-Thais or half-anyone is still viewed as barely half-human, and since these well-intended teachers haven\'t proven themselves, (at least in the eyes of those wishing to hire them), then they are really screwed, especially in a society that elevates sports figures and entertainers to an almost God-like status. That\'s certainly a huge hurdle to overcome.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back to the article from the Korea Times on January 21st, 2007.<br />\n_____________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>According to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development, there are no regulations that enable authorities to punish employees of schools or hakwons for discriminating against people based on skin color in employment.</p>\n<p>An official from the National Human Rights Commission of Korea said since this case is not a criminal lawsuit, the victims of such discrimination, or a third party who knows of such discrimination on behalf of the affected person, can file a complaint with the commission.<br />\n_______________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>But who knows if a complaint of this nature will be taken seriously enough to warrant any punishment for those who discriminate against non-white English teachers. What is really shocking is the fact that in many Asian societies, this kind of racism is not even seen as a crime, but as a minor inconvenience. Something to be understood and accepted as \"just the way things are over here.\" </p>\n<p>Yes racism still exists in America and other Western nations. But there\'s a difference. Back home, racism is random and viewed primarily within the act itself. Back home we separate the racist act from the racist person; we classify the racist acts mainly for sociological and prosecutable purposes. We punish the racist person and prosecute the racist act. </p>\n<p>Here in many parts of Asia, there is no classification of racist acts because no distinction is made between the racist act and the racist person. Therefore, racism here is not seen as random acts committed by a few bad apples. Racism here is systemic. It effects and infects the entire population of a homogeneous nation. It is also seen as part of their history and thus, in their blood. Since we in the West are not as intimately tied to our history as an Asian nation that considers itself to be homogeneous or \"pure blooded\", systemic racism will continue to be a huge obstacle to overcome for those foreigners living and working in this part of the world. </p>\n<p>At the risk of putting a theological spin on this, Christianity tells us to hate the sin, love the sinner. Here we are told to accept the sin, understand the sinner. Remember what Gloria was told by a representative of the school about Korea being a racist country and that it will never change? And this was a Korean talking. So as a foreigner, who am I to disagree? </p>\n<p>In the end, this part of the world may change. Very slowly and gradually, it is changing. Not because it wants to, but because it has to. If countries in this part of the world want to remain competitive, it will have to become more accommodating to other races and people. </p>\n<p>Racism on any level can never be entirely stamped out. What people in this part of the world must do is begin to separate the racist act from the racist person if only for legal and prosecutable purposes. Perhaps the best that we can do is to help Asian nations move from systemic racism to systematic, or random acts of racism so that, once and for all, we can understand what causes racism and where it comes from. Only then can teachers like Gloria get the justice they deserve.</p>','','2007-01-31 17:25:53',1,'2007-01-31 17:25:53','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(89,4,'The politics of Babopalooza','the-politics-of-babopalooza','The joke is on us','The stress and aggravation of life in Korea for expats can be brutal at times, and that\'s why it\'s important to blow off a little steam every now and then.

Both are English teachers, one at a public middle-school, the other at a private language academy. Shane, the one in the public school, said to me before he left to Japan to see his girlfriend, \"Korea is like a prison. It\'s so much easier to make friends and have fun in Japan.\" Alex, who has but four days holiday from his private academy, said before he left to Taipei, \"I got to get out of Korea before I start kicking puppies.\" Certainly not ringing endorsements for Korean Tourism, I know, but for anyone who has ever tried to live and teach here, these sentiments sound all too familiar. </p>\n<p>The stress and aggravation of life in Korea for expats can be brutal at times, and that\'s why it\'s important to blow off a little steam every now and then. During times like these, most expats simply get together to eat, drink, and complain about life in a society that still views foreigners as less than equal. This is fine. Nothing wrong with a bit of drinking and complaining about the locals at your favorite watering hole. I do that too on occasion. But sometimes the complaining goes a little too far. Sometimes the complaining ventures into the realm of public satire, and sometimes the realm of public satire doesn\'t appreciate it. </p>\n<p>A case in point: On the evenings of December 1st and 2nd, 2006, nine foreign English teachers and three Koreans put on a comedy show called \"Babopalooza\" here in Busan. Now they\'re in trouble with Immigration. At least the nine native English teachers are. Read the story from the December 26th, 2006 issue of the Korea Times under the headline, \"Expats Risk Expulsion for Satire\" by staff reporters Tony MacGregor and Bae Ji-sook.<br />\n_____________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Foreigners may face deportation or fines if they volunteer at orphanages or organize performances without reporting them to the authorities.</p>\n<p>The interpretation came from Joo Jae-bong, an official at the Ministry of Justice. He said there should be no problem with joining a poetry club but that volunteer activities should be registered with the ministry.</p>\n<p>\"If it\'s just a gathering of friends, there should be no problem,\" he said. \"But if they are organizing performances, they need to register to do those things because they are changing the purpose of their stay here.\"</p>\n<p>Currently, nine foreigners are under investigation in Pusan for conducting performances beyond their visa-sanctioned jobs.</p>\n<p>A sketch performed by a mixed group of foreign English teachers and Koreans in Pusan has cast a shadow over the volunteer and extra-curricular activities of English teachers working in Korea.</p>\n<p>The players involved in what was intended to be a lighthearted sketch were trundled off to the police station for questioning after reports emerged that the play insulted Korea and Koreans. </p>\n<p>The play poked fun both at Korean customs and foreigners living in Korea. The jokes involved the Korean practice of eating dog stew and a pun on the number 18, an offensive word in Korean. There was also a scene involving Westerners pretending to be Korean.</p>\n<p>The sketch comedy, called \"Babopalooza\", was performed on the evenings of Dec. 1 and 2 at the Neoreun Small Theater on Kwangalli Beach by an amateur theater group called Round Face Productions. About 150 people watched the show.</p>\n<p>The jokes about Westerners included their constant complaining, drinking too much, being stuck in their ways, and not being able to be part of the country they choose to live and work in.</p>\n<p>What has annoyed the players is that information about the play that instigated the police investigation was distorted or completely inaccurate.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m angry about what happened because it was all based on rumors and distortion, but I don\'t want to leave\", said one of the players, an English teacher from Britain who did not wish to be identified. \"I\'m happy here. I want to carry on with my life.\"</p>\n<p>She said nobody who attended the performances appeared to be offended. \"Everyone was laughing and many people, including Koreans, praised us a lot after the performances.\"</p>\n<p>Twelve people were involved in the performance: nine foreigners and three Koreans. The foreigners were taken to the police station and questioned, but the Koreans were not.</p>\n<p>\"I didn\'t feel pressured of threatened by the police. They were polite, and we had apologized for the problem we had caused. We had no intention of offending anyone,\" she said.</p>\n<p>She said that now more accurate information is coming out about the sketch and the players plan to make available to the public copies of the script and a video to demonstrate the inoffensive nature of the sketch.</p>\n<p>She said the police had taken the case to the prosecution and that a judge or the prosecutors would have to decide whether charges would be laid.</p>\n<p>The charges, she said, would be for working outside of visa-sanctioned jobs, punishable by fines or deportation. The nine who would have been questioned are not allowed to leave the country until the investigation is over.<br />\n_______________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Similar stories appeared in the JoongAng Daily under the headline, \"Ajumma-baiting draws attention of Busan police\" (December 15, 2006), and in the Korea Herald under the headline, \"English Teachers Cross Line\" (December 16, 2006.) \"Babo\", as in Babopalooza, is Korean for silly or foolish, while \"Ajumma\" is a Korean wife, but it loses all of its pejorative impact when translated into English.<br />\nIn the JoongAng Daily, the reporter Kim Seo-jung ended the story by saying, \"The police insisted that their investigation was limited solely to the presentation of the play not authorized by the media board, and had nothing to do with its contents.\" Right. And I\'m Santa Claus. While the foreign English teachers did break Immigration law by not<br />\napplying for and receiving a special permit for staging such a performance, everyone knows that poking fun at Korean culture while Immigration officials sit in the back row with handcuffs is not a good idea. Better to eat, drink, and complain in your favorite watering hole. Or take a short trip to Taipei before you start kicking puppies. Either way, chances are you will not have to face fines and/or deportation, and still have a job to go to come Monday morning. </p>\n<p>Of course the holding and detaining of these nine native English teachers had more to do with the content of the show than anything else. If Immigration would have loved the show, then most probably there would not have been a problem. If the players would have complimented Koreans and their culture, they more than likely would have been kissed squarely on the lips and taken to the Outback Steakhouse for a big fat porterhouse with all the trimmings. So who are we kidding here? </p>\n<p>My question is--- and this is a very important question given what happened here--- where were the warnings from other expats and teacher\'s websites? Pusanweb, a website for native English teachers and other expats here in Busan, gave absolutely no warning whatsoever that this can happen, and even went so far as to advertise the Babopalooza event. Surely there are expats in Busan with enough foresight, wisdom, and intelligence, to warn the so-called \"Busan Nine\" not to go through with this. The illegality of working outside of your restrictive visa status aside, poking fun at Koreans who eat dog soup and ridiculing the habits of Korean middle-aged women in a public theater may not be the best way to win friends and influence enemies.</p>\n<p>Not that I\'m a culturally sensitive fellow myself. I\'m not. I\'m about as comfortable in Korea as a Rabbi would be at an all-you-can-eat suckling pig buffet. But even I, in my stupidity and cultural arrogance, would never step on to a stage--- even with my theater background, and say, \"What do Koreans call a dead dog in the middle of the road? Lunch!\" Better to eat, drink, and complain in your favorite watering hole. Or write a column for ajarn.com</p>\n<p>One of the biggest problems with many foreigners living and working overseas is that we don\'t know how to keep a low profile. It\'s as if many of us purposely go out of our way to cause trouble. Recent graduates from our politically correct Western universities have been brainwashed into believing that we are all basically the same; that, cultural differences aside, people all over the world all want the same things: Money, love, marriage, 2.3 kids, a nice house, a big car, a laptop, an MP3 player, and if you\'re still in the third world, perhaps a yard full of goats and chickens. </p>\n<p>We are taught by out-of-touch tenured university professors that Michael Jackson made a brilliant sociological statement when he sang, \"We Are The World.\" So we come to this part of the world wholly unprepared, thinking naively that if we just smile and hand out New York Yankee baseball caps to the natives, we will be lovingly embraced and taken to the nearest bonfire so that we can all join hands and sing Kumbaya. Then we become disillusioned very quickly when we realize that life doesn\'t work that way; that there are people who, for whatever reason, don\'t like us and want to do us harm. </p>\n<p>Now, here\'s a thought: How about just doing your job? How about doing your job to the best of your training and ability and going home at the end of the day? Sure you can still get drunk at the corner bar with friends and complain to your heart\'s content about the bigotry and closed-mindedness of the local population. Isn\'t that what bars are for? Teaching and living in Korea is not like teaching and living in Thailand. Although Thailand is cracking down on sex-tourism and sexual offenders, just about anything else still goes. The Thais are remarkably tolerant of the faux pas of their expat community. As long as we continue to spend our money in the land of smiles, it\'s amazing what many of us can still get away with. </p>\n<p>But if you want to live and teach in Korea, you\'d better be prepared to make sacrifices. You\'d better be prepared to fall all over yourself, (and others), in your quest to compliment the Korean way of life. If not, you may face fines and/or deportation. When asked about Korean food be prepared to say, oh yes I love the stuff. Especially Kim chi. I never knew that it can cure everything from cancer to the gout. God bless your national dish! The Korean education system? The best in the world! It\'s amazing how the students don\'t have to think for themselves. Just say something and the students repeat after you. It\'s music to my ears. Oh, and how they bow to you when you pass them in the hallway. Obedient little angels, all of them. Korean family life? I am in constant awe of how older people are taken care of in your society. In my society we put old people in special homes where they can play bingo all day and complain that their grandchildren never visit them. But here in Korea older people are so much more respected. Korean women? The most beautiful creatures the Lord has ever created. So kind and loyal they are. I haven\'t been this horny since I was 16 and discovered Hustler Magazine. But, of course, I will never touch them. They are for Korean hands only. If you can say these things and keep a straight face, then you should be okay. (Then again, if you can say this and still keep a straight face, you may be considered insane.) </p>\n<p>In the end, nobody looks good in this babopalooza fiasco. The foreign teachers, the police, Immigration officials, or Koreans. We all look bad. All this talk about globalization and the world becoming more tolerant and multicultural. It\'s just that--- talk. It\'s just another example of how far apart we really are. With the North Korean leader\'s constant bellicose declarations to turn this peninsula into a sea of fire, you\'d think the police and government officials here would have enough on their plate without having to run after nine foreign English teachers who like to spend some of their free time poking fun at middle-aged Korean women who possess the unique talent of walking down the street with 12 pounds of fruit and vegetables balanced on their head. </p>\n<p>As they say, hindsight is 20/20. Perhaps we can all learn something from this. Perhaps, but I doubt it. As long as there are young and naive people who think they can travel the globe and have extremely different people see things their way, we will always have this kind of trouble. They have yet to learn that in this part of the world, there are no facts, only good and bad fiction--- mostly bad. And this whole babopalooza fiasco is as bad as good fiction can get. I just hope Korean Immigration doesn\'t read this column. </p>\n<p>Happy New Year, fellow teachers.

','<p>One needs only to peruse the ajarn.com forum, or any of the other teacher\'s websites from Dave\'s ESL Cafe to pusanweb.com in Korea, to come face-to-face, or computer terminal to computer terminal with the biggest and loudest bunch of educational buffoons, social losers, sexual creeps, and degenerate drunks in all of cyberspace. These whining weasels, who have the audacity to pass themselves off as English teachers, possess not an ounce of responsibility as they take it upon themselves to endlessly pontificate about the integrity of the educational system. </p>\n<p>Their mindless pieces of garbage, in response to the MoE\'s attempt at improving the system of teaching ESL in Thailand, meant to spark discussion and debate, but it also pointed out the deep division within the ESL community, (if, indeed, there is such a thing as an ESL community). More importantly, a great many of the messages posted on the ajarn.com forum exhibited a woeful lack of intelligence and low standards of a great many of those who are, or think they are, ESL teachers. </p>\n<p>It pains me to say this. Anyone who has read my columns over the last two plus years knows that I am very much pro-teacher. The garbage that many of us ESL teachers go through, and the hundreds of horror stories posted all over the Internet by teachers world over is, and continues to be, a living testament to our courage, dedication, and resilience. We continually go against near impossible odds in our attempts to make the slightest positive difference in the lives of those we teach. For those dedicated and committed teachers who continue to slog through the muddy and dangerous waters of the ESL world, a million thank yous would still not be enough.</p>\n<p>I do not consider myself a good teacher. In my opinion I\'m one of the poorest. I lack a very essential quality in life: Patience. And my lack of patience makes me a not so nice person to be around. Having said that, what I lack in patience I more than make up for in passion. My passion for teaching, my passion for getting things right, and my passion for making a difference has often been interpreted, or misinterpreted, as impatience. I may not be a good teacher, but I am a dedicated and committed one. I better be if I want to last a long time in this profession.</p>\n<p>I have been very lucky over the years. I have worked with dozens of great teachers in Thailand and Korea. Teachers who have taught me more by allowing me to observe them in the classroom. I have learned more from them than I could have ever learned by listening to some arrogant, pompous jerk pontificating about the latest pedagogical theories.</p>\n<p>There are many problems with what is referred to as the ESL world; far too many problems to list here. Greedy school directors; a lack of leadership; a lack of vision and direction; outdated curriculum and teaching methods; a lack of proper training for teachers, or no training at all; very few professional development programs; and a lack of cooperation between people and departments, just to name a few. Now let\'s add drunks, perverts, and drug addicts who pass themselves off as English teachers and we got ourselves a pretty big mess on our hands. This is what the MoE is trying to fix. An impossible task? No, but a very difficult and complex project indeed.</p>\n<p>It is not helpful that ESL teachers, however good or bad they happen to be, are against these attempts by the MoE to improve a very poor system. And it is not helpful that many schools are also fighting these attempts by the MoE. A blaring and biased headline on ajarn.com bears this out: \"Phuket Schools Flying Flag For Teachers.\" </p>\n<p>In a recent article in the Phuket Gazette, schools on the Island will ask the Phuket Governor to drop the new regulations which require \"all new teachers to have at least a bachelor\'s degree and to pass an extensive background check before they can begin work.\" </p>\n<p>The article continues,<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"The new policy requires that all foreign teachers possess at least a bachelor\'s degree, a certified copy of which must be presented to the local MoE office along with a certified copy of the applicant\'s transcript (academic record).</p>\n<p>Before hiring a new teacher, schools must wait for approval from the MoE\'s International Education Promotion Division, which must check the authenticity of the teacher\'s credentials by seeking a confirmation letter from the university the applicant claims to be a graduate of.\"<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Does this mean that 22 year old Johnny English, that backpacker high-school dropout who can \"like barely speak English dude\" let alone teach it, is not allowed in a Thai classroom anymore? Does this mean that Fat Frank Flanagan, that late 40 something Viagra popper who almost graduated from university, can\'t pass himself off as an English teacher anymore? Does this mean that Michael McGoo, who just wants to spend six months in Thailand soaking up the sun, can\'t finance his sojourn in the land of smiles with a Khao San Road bachelor\'s degree and a little teaching on the side? Excuse me while I cry a river.</p>\n<p>Who are these schools that are flying the flag? Who are these teachers for whom the flag is being flown for? I certainly hope it\'s not for people like Johnny English, Fat Frank Flanagan, and Michael McGoo. </p>\n<p>According to the article in the Phuket Gazette, these requirements came into effect on September 29th of this year. Owners of small private schools complain that these requirements are \"too restrictive and time-consuming, taking months to complete before a new teacher can be hired.\" Again, excuse me while, this time, I cry an ocean. </p>\n<p>It\'s not just small private schools that have the gall to complain. The bigger schools too are complaining, especially those in Bangkok. Who\'s next? The International schools who employ foreign teachers? Government public schools? The Sarasas schools and Bangkok Christian College are infamous for hiring under-qualified native teachers who don\'t meet the MoE\'s requirements, and those with, shall I say, less than stellar backgrounds. Can anyone say, John Mark Karr? </p>\n<p>Japan has had these restrictions in place for years. People accept that as part of the system and hiring process. Try just showing up in Japan without a work visa and a lack of proper documentation and see what happens. In Japan every foreign English teacher must be sponsored by the school or the company. The process can take up to two or three months, but it\'s professional and efficient. What the teacher does while waiting for the sponsorship is the teacher\'s business, but the work visa is not school specific. This is something every country, including Thailand, can learn from.</p>\n<p>Even here in South Korea, where I happen to be currently teaching in a public middle school, notarized copies of my undergraduate degree, (either by a notary or a commissioner of oaths), and original sealed and signed transcripts from my university was a must when I applied for my job. And this was before I had to get two reference letters, written confirmation from at least two previous schools that I did indeed work there, proof of my TESOL certificate, and a criminal background check from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP. I said this before and I\'ll say it again: This should be the absolute minimum that every foreign ESL teacher should do. If any teacher, for whatever reason, refuses to do this, then they do not get the job. </p>\n<p>It sickens me that many schools are flying the flag for teachers for whom they have absolutely no business doing so. While I congratulate those schools who are not applying the \"warm body\" principle, (anybody in the classroom is better than nobody), too many other schools have gotten away with this nonsense for far too long. Their lack of personal ethics, professional standards, and responsibility towards their students is nothing short of astounding. From an article posted an ajarn.com titled, \"What\'s going on at the Ministry\", Mr Barry, the Head of Pittwater House Schools, has this to say:<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"It\'s never been easy to obtain teaching licences. We\'ve had the usual problems in the past with teachers presenting fake documents but if the teacher was a good teacher and he or she was well-liked then we could always find a way of accommodating them in our program--- basically because the situation wasn\'t policed. We could exercise some discretion and be a lot more flexible compared to now. Now we\'re entering a whole new era and we can\'t even think about hiring unqualified teachers.\"<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Wow. There you have it. Straight from the horse\'s mouth. \"We can\'t even think of hiring unqualified teachers.\"</p>\n<p>The question is, outside of pure financial greed and an attempt to apply the \"warm body\" principle, why in the world would anyone think of hiring an unqualified or under-qualified teacher to begin with? Besides any money gained from such a decision, why would any school even consider employing a teacher who does not meet the professional and objective standards of the teaching profession? </p>\n<p>On November 5th, I wrote this on the ajarn teacher\'s forum:<br />\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Isn\'t it interesting that the most vociferous critics of MoE\'s new restrictions are greedy language school owners/directors and teachers who view Thailand as their own personal playground. Strange bedfellows, indeed.\"<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Here\'s one response from someone who calls himself Jonny Danger. Mr. Danger admits to having a criminal past and does his best to hide it. He has also taught in Thai classrooms.<br />\n-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"If Steve Shitzer is your workmate, please ask him this: What about the kids? They need a teacher. Do they care if their teacher doesn\'t have 400,000,000,000 B in the bank? Does it matter to them he needs to cross the border every month in order to remain teaching them? If they like their teacher, if they\'re learning some English from him, if they are in contact with a good-hearted person of whom they admire, do they want an immigration soldier to come to their school and yank him out and wait months for his replacement to arrive?\"<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>And this from Mr. Danger on the ajarn teacher\'s forum as well:<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Sitting in a drawer across from me at this moment is a copy of an FBI background check done a year ago. If I were to hand this original over to the Thai authorities, would my process of proof be finished? In having this receipt, does it prove I\'d never yearn for deep tongue injection with children, or would it mean I have yet to be busted for it?\"<br />\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>And one more from Mr. Danger. Commenting on the John Mark Karr controversy,<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"All the time Thai teachers are doing all John Karr dreamed of, and more.\"<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>This is from a thread on the ajarn forum titled, \"Phuket Schools Fighting Teacher\'s Regulations.\" To this day it has 283 replies and over 4,200 hits. Now let\'s take some of his points, however ludicrous one thinks they are.</p>\n<p>What about the kids? Yes they need a teacher. ESL students need a good teacher, a caring teacher, a dedicated and committed teacher. A teacher that does not have the proper credentials and has to cross the border every month must be replaced, at least until this teacher does have the proper credentials so he wouldn\'t have to cross the border every month. The students deserve at least that. Yes it\'s important that the students like their teacher, but it\'s more important--- much more important that they learn something from him. After all, students pay their money to learn what they need to learn. </p>\n<p>The ESL teaching experience, Mr. Danger is not about liking the teacher as much as it\'s about trusting the teacher. Teaching is not, nor should it ever be, a popularity contest where ESL instructors dance around the classroom like a clown, or go out drinking and dancing with their students. There are no pageants, contests, or competitions to see which teacher can drink more, sing better, or look better. Language schools must become the professional organizations that so many of them profess to be, and ESL teachers must become the professional instructors that a profession like teaching expects them to be. </p>\n<p>Now I don\'t mean to single out Mr. Barry or Jonny Danger. They are just two of many people who, for whatever reason, are fighting any attempt to improve the standards of ESL teaching and learning. I\'m sure they would be fun to have a beer with, but there are some very important questions that beg to be asked: Where is the responsibility here, especially towards the students? Where is the ethics and professional standards that the students deserve from those in positions of power?</p>\n<p>Before people start to say, \"Yeah Steve, I know what you mean, but the reality is that there are good teachers without a degree and the proper documents, and there are bad teachers with degrees and the proper papers.\" To that, I say \"Stop it!\" There have always been, and always will be, exceptional people who, for whatever reason, do not meet any objective standards. It is unfortunate that a few good teachers will probably slip through the cracks of these new restrictions and guidelines. But they will be a very small minority, and the kinks of this system, like the kinks in any system will be worked out in due time.</p>\n<p>Let\'s be very clear about something: We are talking about setting objective standards to a profession that is long overdue. And by setting these standards, we will be getting rid of a whole lot of really bad people; people that have absolutely no business stepping foot inside a classroom, in Thailand or anywhere else. This reality completely and unequivocally trumps any attempts by language school directors to put into their classrooms unqualified or under-qualified teachers simply because they like them, or because they can sing well in a karaoke bar, or can drink three bottles of Korean soju, or simply because this blonde babe from the U.K. looks damn good in a mini-skirt. </p>\n<p>It may be a cheap shot to bring up John Mark Karr, the very same John Mark Karr who recently appeared on the Dr. Keith Ablow show in the United States and boldly declared that he saw nothing wrong with a six year old girl putting her tongue in his mouth; the very same John Mark Karr who compared himself to an ice-cream cone for little children; and the very same John Mark Karr who was found teaching English in a Thai classroom. </p>\n<p>In my September column about the whole John Mark Karr controversy, I ruminated about how nice it would be if Karr became the impetus for some real positive changes within the whole ESL teaching industry not only in Thailand, but all over the world. Yes, wouldn\'t that be nice indeed? This is a perfect opportunity to use Karr, and others like him, as an example of what the ESL industry should not be. He is the reason that this industry needs to be fixed.</p>\n<p>So what should every legitimate and professional ESL teacher possess?

As for those dodgy and unemployable ESL teachers, give them one final warning to clean up their act, or they get deported immediately. The teaching profession is just that: A profession. And any profession must have within it, people who are responsible, dependable, qualified, committed, and dedicated. I\'ve said this before, and I\'ll say it again, inherent in the teaching profession is the responsibility and a deep desire within every teacher to improve the profession and the educational system; a system of which we are all a part. </p>\n<p>The final word goes to an ajarn poster who goes by the name \"Haltest.\" In the aforementioned thread \"Phuket Schools fighting Teacher Regulations\", he had this to say:<br />\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Those who can\'t face or deal with the checks, you\'ve got fair warning to get your paperwork up to speed.

We even made headlines on Korean television and on the Internet.</p>\n<p>So who are these teachers? And what is the real story? Since the stories in each of the newspapers are pretty much the same, let\'s take the full story from the Korea Times.<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>12 Foreign English Teachers Suspected of Drug Use</p>\n<p>By Kim Rahn<br />\nStaff Reporter</p>\n<p>A dozen Korean-American, American and Canadian English-language lecturers were under investigation for taking drugs<br />\nyesterday.</p>\n<p>Police said that they detected 12 English lecturers at private institutes, or \"hagwons,\" on suspicion of taking marijuana<br />\nand Philopon or methamphetamine.</p>\n<p>They arrested five Korean-Americans and two Americans, while charging without detention two Korean-Americans, a Korean-Canadian, a Canadian and an American.</p>\n<p>The teachers, who are in their 20\'s and 30\'s, have worked as English lecturers at hagwons in Seoul and Kyonggi Province<br />\nsince early 2000 and habitually taken drugs at their residences, according to police.</p>\n<p>The seven Korean-Americans, who emigrated to the U.S. when young, belonged to the Korean-American crime rings there, such as Korean Play Boy. They were deprived of their permanent resident status by their host country for their involvement in drug trafficking, illegal gun possession and robbery, the police said.</p>\n<p>After being expelled from the U.S., they got the jobs at the institutes with fake diplomas obtained through a broker.</p>\n<p>The broker who helped them get jobs and three heads of the institutes where also booked without detention on suspicion of forgery.</p>\n<p>The 44 year old broker, identified as Kim, has run an unregistered job hunting firm named \"One and One\" in Kyonggi Province since July 2003. He mainly helped expelled Koreans get hired at hagwons, earning 300 million won over his three years in business.</p>\n<p>Kim, also a Korean-American who was expelled from the U.S., helped his customers by fabricating graduation certificates<br />\nthrough foreign Internet sites. He also has worked as an after school program teacher at two middle-schools in Yangjae-<br />\ndong and Songsu-dong in Seoul, according to police.</p>\n<p>The institute heads hired some of the teachers with the knowledge that their visa status did not allow them to work here,<br />\npolice said.</p>\n<p>The police plan to expand the investigation, following tips that Kim managed 80 lecturers, the officials added.</p></blockquote>\n<p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p>\n<p>So there you have it. If you read the article closely enough, several things glare out at you which seem totally incongruous to the screaming headline. Of the 12 so-called \"Foreign\" teachers, eight of them where actually born in Korea. Since when are Koreans foreigners in their own country? And how long do you have to live in the West before you\'re considered a foreigner in the land of your birth? As one Columbian born Spanish professor at a university here in Pusan put it, \"I\'ve been in Korea for six years. Does that make me a Columbian-Korean?\" For those Americans or Canadians that have been here for a number of years, are they American-Koreans and Canadian-Koreans? I\'d like to think that I\'m still a Canadian regardless of where I\'ve lived in the world or for how long. And did you notice that the broker and the three institute owners in the article are also Korean? So of the 16 people arrested, 12 were Korean while only four where actually foreigners. </p>\n<p>So it seems to me, and many others, that the real problem here is not with the foreign community. The real problem is unscrupulous Korean businessmen who fabricate false documentation and knowingly hire teachers, both foreign and Korean, to work at their schools. That\'s hardly a problem unique to Korea. </p>\n<p>Leesa, an English teacher here in Pusan, wrote this letter to the Korea Times, which she was nice enough to forward to me.<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Dear Kim Rahn,</p>\n<p>I have just read the article in the Korea Times entitled \"12 Foreign English Teachers Suspected of Drug Abuse\" and have been appalled by the light in which you have put foreign English teachers in Korea. I can understand your need to sell a story by the use of using a powerful heading to draw people in. But it has come at a cost of discriminating against the foreign community in Korea.</p>\n<p>There are many foreign English teachers who have come to Korea to make a decent living and who have sincere and legitimate intentions of helping members of the Korean community to learn English. We would like to be accepted and fit into your community in some way. But how can this be done when misleading information is given to the public through the use of the media? Only 4 of the 12 people were actually foreigners. Yet you stated that all of the people arrested were foreign.</p>\n<p>Please take more care in the way in which you portray foreigners in Korea. It is a delicate issue. Foreign teachers are struggling to fit in. We are trying to help the Korean community learn English. With globalization, Korean people realize that they need to learn the international language (English). Many foreigners are trying to do their part in helping Korean children and community members to learn English. Please don\'t put foreigners who are trying to help your children in the bad light of being drug abusers.<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------ </p>\n<p>There were a few other letters written by the ESL community here which were sent to the Korea Times and posted on www.pusanweb.com, a website for teachers here in Korea. What seemed to have galvanized us English teachers in this case was the headline; a headline, as you know by now, that lumped 12 unscrupulous and criminal Korean-born nationals with four North Americans, who also exhibited criminal behavior, under the all-encompassing banner of \"Foreigners.\" </p>\n<p>To be fair to the Korea Times, on October 27th, four days later, they retracted the word \"Foreign\" from the headline on their website. The headline now reads, \"12 English Teachers Suspected of Drug Abuse.\" Although the Korea Times have omitted the term \"Foreign\" in its reference to teachers, the story remains identical to the original by referring to Koreans as Korean-Americans, thus softening any shock within the Korean community that one of their own can be caught smoking marijuana or fabricating fake certificates.</p>\n<p>But as of this writing, the Chosun Ilbo still retains the term \"Foreign English Teachers\" in its headline, while the Korea Herald begins its story with \"Twelve foreign English language teachers were charged with taking drugs, police said yesterday.\"</p>\n<p>Anyone who has ever spent time teaching here in South Korea or has served in the U.S. military, knows that many South Koreans possess a tendentious nature to be xenophobic and nationalistic to the extreme. Their pack-mentality in thinking and action is, at times, frightening, and this makes it very difficult to live and teach here, but we try. It also makes it extremely difficult for any true learning to take place, but again, we try.</p>\n<p>These stories were not published in isolation. There has been in the past, and it continues to this day, a long litany of anti-foreigner sentiment in the media and in this country. This long litany of anti-foreigner sentiment is manifested in misleading newspaper articles, commentaries, and television programs that portray foreigners in general, and English teachers in particular, as unqualified, alcohol swilling, drug addicted, skirt-chasing perverts, liars, and frauds with no social values or ethical standards. If you think I\'m exaggerating, then I invite you to search the archives of both the Korea Times and the Korea Herald, as well as the English language versions of the Korean newspapers. I assure you it will be quite illuminating.</p>\n<p>I have spent quite a bit of time in Korea since 1997, and what I find interesting about many Koreans is their penchant for misplaced priorities. Here is a country that is being threatened almost daily by their nuclear neighbors to the North, and they\'re worried about four North American English teachers who blazed up a doobie! But I guess I should expect that when, according to a recent poll, a full 43 per cent of South Koreans blame Washington for the nuclear crisis here on the peninsula. (\"U.S Most Responsible for Nuclear Test: Poll\", The Korea Times, September 15, 2006.)</p>\n<p>Here is a country where millions of absentee fathers get drunk on a nightly basis and cheat on their wives. Here\'s a country where, on average, 38 people kill themselves every day, many of them teenagers, (\"Suicides Increase at Alarming Rate\", Editorial, Korea Times, September 6, 2006.), and they get all hot and bothered over four North American English teachers who, on occasion, puff the magic dragon! This is absurd. I am neither condoning nor condemning the behavior of these English teachers. I\'ll let the jurisprudence of the legal system handle this. But for the love of Christ, I think there are bigger problems on the Korean peninsula at the moment. I would prefer not to make light of this, but is the local media so desperate to put a negative spin on a story--- any story--- involving foreigners that they end up taking perverse pleasure in nabbing a few English teachers for enjoying a good dose of Columbian smack? Get a life!</p>\n<p>Leesa brings up a very good point in her letter about us \"trying to do our part in helping Korean children and community members to learn English.\" In other words, we are trying to do something bigger than ourselves. To use a rather worn-out phrase, we are trying to win the hearts and minds of those we teach. And, as I have said before, we ESL teachers are trying to give those we teach a better future. That is doing something bigger than ourselves. That is, in Leesa\'s words, doing our part. </p>\n<p>But we can\'t do our part alone. We can\'t win hearts and minds by ourselves. We need the support of the media and the community. Without it, we are all doomed to fail: The teachers and the students. If these articles that continually portray us English teachers as monsters is the Korean people\'s way of doing THEIR part, if these articles are the Korean people\'s way of trying to win OUR hearts and minds, then we all have a long, long way to go before any positive changes can take place. </p>\n<p>Criticizing the foreign element in your country, for whatever reason, is a burden. Or it should be. Moreover, it\'s an unwanted burden, and as with any unwanted burden, it comes at a cost. This unwanted burden of being critical with certain elements of the foreign community at appropriate times, whether in Korea, Thailand, China, Japan, or elsewhere, comes with a feeling of intense guilt. Or it should. After all, you are criticizing and excoriating your guests. That can\'t and shouldn\'t be a pleasant experience. But for far too many Koreans it\'s just that. For too many Koreans, criticizing, excoriating, and humiliating the foreign community has become a hobby, a sport, and an immensely pleasurable past time to while away the hours, days, weeks, and months of an otherwise mundane and humdrum existence. They are seemingly devoid of guilt, or any feelings associated with guilt, when they chastise us for any reason. This could be for anything from the quality of our English lessons, to the nefarious activities of some teachers in the foreign community. </p>\n<p>What should really scare people about this, besides the complete lack of tact in a society that supposedly prides itself on linguistic subtlety, is the almost total lack of rational thought that goes into these media rants. The anti-foreigner sentiment here in Korea has become a social mantra, a long-winded series of cultural flatulence that serves to do little but stink up the whole atmosphere. </p>\n<p>The problem with Koreans who write anti-foreigner propaganda, whether on the Internet or in newspapers, is that their thoughts and beliefs are unprogressive--- indeed, anti-progressive and their writing robotic and perfunctory. Their judgements and conclusions, based on false premises and faulty research, go unchallenged; not necessarily from outside, but from within.</p>\n<p>They show precious little skill for introspection. There seems to be little or no inner struggle to know or search for the real story. And most exhibit no uncertainty of thought. Many of them seem so certain that we are unqualified teachers. Many seem so certain that we are drug addicts, perverts, and child molesters. Many seem so certain that we spread disease like AIDS. Many Koreans simply assume these perceptions to be true without the slightest evidence or depth of thought. And the sad part is that many of them don\'t even challenge these assumptions about foreigners, whether through introspection, or by asking the essential questions necessary of their own society. And no amount or rational discussion will change their perception or their assumptions.</p>\n<p>Far too many Koreans are far too comfortable living within their four walls; far too comfortable reaching for that which is only within their short grasp; far too comfortable in not asking the right questions; and far too comfortable in their bias and ignorance of the foreign community in their own country which is made up of Canadians, Americans, Australians, Chinese, Thais, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, and many others. Ignorance may be bliss, but is is also dangerous when left to fester. </p>\n<p>Part of what being a human being is all about--- as opposed to say a baboon, a giraffe, or a stingray--- is not only answering, honestly and sincerely, the questions posed by another, but also asking the right questions: Questions for which there are no easy answers, or questions for which the answers are not so easily apparent or obvious. Good research and great writing depends on this. This lack of knowledge in asking the right questions, this lack of introspection, this lack of inner struggle, this lack of any depth of thought about the lives of foreigners within their borders prevents many Koreans from knowing the truth, and more importantly, allows them to perpetuate a false reality based on lies, myths, exaggeration, misinformation, and propaganda.</p>\n<p>Far too many Koreans possess neither the intelligence nor the wisdom to realize that when you attempt to bring down or destroy others in haste or out of fear, you succeed only in bringing about your own destruction. And this is what\'s happening. Even though the money and the benefits are good, fewer and fewer teachers want to come to Korea. And for those who are presently here, fewer and fewer of us want to stay. The reasons are simple: Not very many of us feel welcomed. We are constantly faced with a barrage of insults from the media and elsewhere. Our intentions are misinterpreted, our ideas either ignored, ridiculed, or misunderstood. And many of us seem not to be making a positive difference in the lives of our students. Far too many ESL teachers here feel that we are wasting our time trying to teach people who are simply not interested in learning from us. The system is stacked against us and the playing field is unleveled, and many of us know it. </p>\n<p>What to do about all this? Well, I suppose we can try to ignore it in the hope that it will magically disappear. I\'m sure many teachers are doing that already. Or we can let them know exactly how we feel, as some teachers have already done. It\'s important to work within the system to effect positive social change. But the question is, would we be welcomed to work within their system, alongside the Koreans, in order so that we can finally contribute to their society and make a positive difference in people\'s lives? </p>\n<p>It takes courage to be fair and honest, especially when dealing with foreign English teachers. It also takes intelligence and wisdom to see the big picture. A big picture in which the local English teachers and foreign ESL teachers work together to ensure that the students succeed. A big picture in which those in the local media, both electronic and print, have the courage to see foreign English teachers as a blessing and an asset in their society. A big picture in which the students, both adults and youngsters, have the courage to put their perceptions and biases aside for the length of an English lesson. And a big picture where everyone in this society begins to see ESL teachers as professionals, worthy of appreciation and respect. It takes courage and intelligence and wisdom for Koreans to see all that. We Westerners can be a patient people. But our patience has limits, and we can\'t wait forever for certain segments of the local population to come to their senses. </p>\n<p>For the record, I love my job here, and I love teaching English. I\'m fortunate enough to teach ESL in a public middle-school. Most of the students are fine, although a bit uninspiring. The principal and vice-principal are great to work with. And my Korean co-teachers are helpful most of the time. But I wish for two things: That we foreign English teachers be sincerely appreciated and respected more of the time, and that we can be allowed to make much more of a positive difference in the lives of those we teach.

They are busy talking with each other or throwing things at one another. The Korean teacher will raise her voice or bang her wooden stick against the side of the teacher\'s podium. That gets their attention. It takes 20 to 30 seconds for them to settle down. Then the class leader stands up. He or she looks around, then says, \"Attention! Bow!\" Then in unison the class says--- very unenthusiastically--- \"Good morning teacher.\" I try my best to ignore this superficial display of respect and move into my lesson.</p>\n<p>The first thing I do is arrange the students so that they are sitting boy/girl for every lesson. I tell my Korean co-teachers that they should be sitting this way before I step into class so that we won\'t waste any time. This seating arrangement is to get the students to behave themselves and to keep the noise level to a minimum. Most of the time they listen. Sometimes they don\'t. But they are getting better at this seating arrangement. </p>\n<p>The second thing I do is to tell the students to take out their pen, pencil, eraser, notebook and dictionary--- what I consider the five essentials of any ESL class. They all have pens, pencils, and erasers. Most of the boys have exacto knives that they use to cut up their erasers and throw the pieces at each other. Most of the girls have cute pencil cases, mostly of animals. Furry dogs or rabbits that can hold more than a dozen writing utensils. The first three of the five essentials are rarely a problem. It\'s the last two that are. Invariably, in most classes at least half of all students don\'t have an English notebook. And this in a part of the world that invented paper! </p>\n<p>Sometimes I will ask, \"How are you?\" Most of the time the response is dead silence. So I stopped asking. Not because I don\'t care. I do care about a lot of the students. But if they can\'t, or are unwilling to answer a simple question like \"How are you?\" then it\'s time to move on.</p>\n<p>I like to dictate the focus questions for the listening activity, so I must wait for half the class to tear a piece of paper from their notebooks and give this sloppily torn piece of paper to those who, for whatever reason known only to them and their closest friends, don\'t have a notebook. It is highly unlikely that most of these slackers will ever purchase a one dollar English notebook with a picture of a puppy on the cover and the words, \"Happiness is a warm puppy\" on it. </p>\n<p>As for dictionaries, forget it. The Korean teachers are the walking/talking dictionaries. One of my co-teachers walks into class with her electronic talking dictionary. Whenever a student needs a word translated from Korean to English, the Korean teacher will do it herself. If she doesn\'t know the word, she will punch it into her little machine and presto! The machine will tell the students. It must be nice to have students who never have to do anything for themselves. Spoon feed your students. Treat them like babies. Never let them do anything for themselves. And they\'ll goo-goo and gaa-gaa from one assignment to another, from one test to another, from one job to another, from one doctor to another, from one hospital to another, from their spouse to their mistress and back again. Never understanding what in the world is wrong with them. Never knowing what can or must be done to fix the problem. Never knowing what responsibility--- for oneself and for others--- really means. </p>\n<p>The real problem with this bowing stuff--- especially in the public school system--- is that it turns the society into little more than a self-fulfilling prophesy of social stagnation. Like Pavlov\'s dogs, people are turned into lemmings, blindly following the lemming in front of them without asking why. Students have absolutely no idea why they are bowing to their teacher except for the fact that for hundreds of years other people before them have been doing the same thing. Without a reason or purpose for asking why they are doing this, or perhaps there\'s a better or more socially realistic way of showing respect, they are like \"Little Eichmann\'s\" just following the orders of their superiors who themselves may not know why they do the things they do.</p>\n<p>Another problem with this kind of system is that, at least where I teach, nobody fails. That\'s right. A whole educational system where no student ever fails a test or exam. The students with the higher grades are guaranteed a place in one of the city\'s top high-schools, while the students who received the lower grades get to languish in one of the city\'s lower high-schools. Perhaps a vocational school or, God forbid, one of those \"Special schools\" that are talked about only in vague whispers. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophesy of social stagnation! In a situation like that, nothing moves. Nothing goes forward. In a situation like that, how will a society progress? How do we judge success? In a school where not one student fails, then who does? And are teachers in that kind of system really doing their job? It must be nice to pat yourself on the back and claim a 100% success rate every single time. </p>\n<p>So in a situation like that, everyone knows what their social roles are. No one has to guess. No one has to communicate. No one has to negotiate. No one has to work too hard or look too far outside their immediate surroundings or social boundaries to see where they stand. Outside of \"Good morning\" and \"Good evening\" and \"Nice day, isn\'t it?\" true communication becomes superfluous and information sharing downright dangerous. No need to become overly friendly. We all know what we have to do. We all know what our social obligations are. And so we must never question them. Never ask why. Never seek alternatives. And always know and accept our place in the social hierarchy. </p>\n<p>In an educational system where not one student fails, we all do. Everyone fails. Everyone fails because we have let everyone down. Everyone fails because not everyone can pass, or deserves to pass. Everyone fails because we educators are too stupid or too lazy to consider an alternative to a system that perpetuates a self-fulling prophesy of social stagnation. Remember, people don\'t fail systems. Systems fail people. And the educational system under which I\'m currently teaching is a complete and utter failure.</p>\n<p>Now I am not here to change their system. To be quite blunt, I don\'t care enough about them to think about how I would change it even if I had the chance. It is up to the local people to change their own system if they truly want to. At my age, life is tough enough just getting out of bed in the morning and walking to my school. I am here to work within the system and hopefully make a positive difference in the process. If we were here to fight and change the system, that would make us linguistic invaders and cultural imperialists, not ESL teachers. And we should never be linguistic invaders or cultural imperialists. To speak for myself, I am not fighting to change their educational system whether in Korea, Thailand, or anywhere else. I am here to take my rightful place within their educational system. As a professional ESL instructor, I am fighting for my rightful place \"at the table.\" </p>\n<p>The fact of the matter is, regardless of where we ESL instructors are in the world, we are not seen by most of the local population as professional teachers. This is especially true with regards to the local English teachers. Here in Korea we native ESL teachers are constantly insulted and excoriated by media reports that we are \"unqualified, unprofessional, unprepared, not dedicated, and sometimes downright stupid.\" We are told that we graduated from \"sub-par universities\" and that many of us are here because we \"cannot find jobs in our own countries.\" The insults have been know to become very personal. Some of us, according to media reports, have \"deep emotional problems\" and \"issues with our parents.\" </p>\n<p>While it is commendable that many of the locals are concerned about our emotional well-being and the issues we have with our parents, I\'m not sure how all of this concern will help our students learn the English they need to either get into a very good university or to get the well-paid job that they seek. Remember, all of this media criticism of foreign ESL instructors trickles down to those very same students who need us to succeed. </p>\n<p>While there are occasions when we ESL teachers contribute to this media smack down by not being on our best behavior, far more often the media and local teachers feel threatened by us. A case in point: Recently I read a story in one of the local papers which asked the question, \"Are native speakers of English qualified to teach English?\" In the article, ESL instructors were referred to as \"Native speakers\" 13 times, while we were called \"Western teachers\" only once. It was quite interesting the terms used by the author to frame his argument. </p>\n<p>Are native speakers of English qualified to teach English? That depends on his or her qualifications and experience. At the moment I have two Bachelor\'s degrees, a TESOL certificate, and eight years ESL teaching experience in four different Asian countries. Does that qualify someone to teach ESL? How about someone with a Master\'s degree in Linguistics with no experience? How about someone with a Bachelor\'s degree, no experience, and a TESOL certificate? How about someone with no university degree at all, but with 60 years of living experience and a burning desire to help people and make a positive difference? The permutations can go on indefinitely, but who\'s to say who is qualified to teach ESL and who isn\'t? Especially in an environment where ESL instructors are much maligned and vilified in certain media outlets.</p>\n<p>\"Native speakers\" is a very vague and nebulous term. Not all native speakers can be teachers, but all teachers are native speakers of their own language. The term native speakers connotes a certain amount of alienation from the society in which the ESL instructor teaches. Native speakers are constantly on the outside looking in. We are not a part of the system, but a part from it. It is exclusionary and demeaning to us and the teaching occupation. We are not seen as real teachers and therefore not a threat to the local population or the educational system.</p>\n<p>The terms \"native teachers\" or \"Western teachers\" is inclusive. It is inclusive by dint of the fact that the word teachers is being used rather than simply speakers. And because we are teachers, the alienation we sometimes feel in the society in which we teach is lessened to a degree. We are now on the inside. A part of the educational system, not a part from it. By being called--- or calling ourselves--- real teachers, we are seen as a threat to the population of local teachers and their educational system. This is why we are constantly being criticized, excoriated, and ridiculed by certain members of the local media and having our qualifications and dedication called into question. It continues to happen in Thailand, in Korea, and everywhere we ESL instructors are currently teaching. </p>\n<p>That many members of the local media and the local teachers refuse to see us as real teachers is one thing. To disrespect us by calling into question our qualifications, commitment, and dedication is quite another. That must stop. We must let them know--- teachers, students, and the media--- exactly how we feel. We must organize, write letters to the editor, let our co-teachers know how we feel, and tell our students about their responsibilities in class. Just as we have responsibilities towards our hosts, our hosts have responsibilities towards their guests. And these responsibilities--- mutual respect towards each other, dedication to the job, and having the teachers and students coming to class prepared--- must be spelled out very clearly and followed to the letter. </p>\n<p>I don\'t care about students bowing to me when I enter the room. That is learned behavior. And whatever is learned can be unlearned and replaced with something more practical, like coming to class prepared to learn English by bringing your pen and notebook; like paying attention while the teacher is speaking; by not throwing pieces of your eraser at another student across the room; by not punching your friend sitting beside you; and by not slapping a girl in the head because she won\'t lend you a pencil. Again, I don\'t want to change their way of life. Let them bow to the Korean teachers. But come to my class prepared. I think that\'s fair.</p>\n<p>I know it\'s not easy teaching teenagers. It\'s even harder being one. Korean teenagers are no different than teenagers everywhere. The angst and all the insecurities are there. You can poke holes through it with a chopstick. Insecure 15 year old girls looking into a little mirror to see if their hair is just right. Insecure 15 year old boys sniffing their armpits in hopes that it\'s not them who smell. All of them are insecure and hope that no one notices. Many of them are sad and hope that no one notices. Some of them are happy and hope that no one notices the silly grin on their face. And being 15, they\'re all horny. And, of course, they hope that no one notices. </p>\n<p>Sometimes I feel bad for them, and I don\'t know why. Sometimes I don\'t feel bad for them, and I don\'t know why. I teach over 700 of these kids and see each one only once a week. So I can\'t get involved. But we have an unwritten rule. You give me your best and I\'ll give you mine. That\'s up to them. I think that\'s fair.</p>\n<p>So they walk into class at the start of a new day. Actually, they don\'t walk. Teenagers don\'t walk. Especially Korean teenagers. They stride, stroll, saunter, march, strut, and amble their way to their seats. Especially after lunch. The only question that remains is how will they show respect to the native/western teacher? Will they give me the deep bow and silent fart treatment, then go about fooling around for the next 45 minutes? Or will they take their appropriate seats, take out their pens, notebooks, and dictionary, and silently sit at rapt attention awaiting the wisdom of their native/western teacher?</p>\n<p>As a professional native English teacher, that\'s up to me. And I wouldn\'t have it any other way.</p>','','2006-09-30 23:29:29',1,'2006-09-30 23:29:29','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(94,4,'From Boulder to Bangkok','from-boulder-to-bangkok','Thailand at a crossroad','When I heard that a teacher, an EFL teacher at that, had been picked up in Bangkok on suspicion of the JonBenet Ramsey murder, I knew that things would change. Or, at least, I hope that things will change. For the better. I, like everyone else, heard the name John Mark Karr for the first time','<p>On Christmas night 1996, something horrible happened to a six year old girl. Someone snuck into the home of this little girl and waited secretly for her return. This \"Someone\" was obsessed with the girl in ways most us cannot understand. In the hours that preceded her death this \"Someone\" gained the girl\'s trust. Right now, we can only guess what was said to her by this \"Someone.\" His obsession with the little girl, ugly as it was at the time, quickly turned uglier as he strangled her and bashed her on the head. </p>\n<p>This little girl\'s name was JonBenet Ramsey and her home was in Boulder, Colorado. It was Boulder\'s only homicide that year, but it was a biggie. It would be a homicide that would grip a town, a community, a state, and a nation for almost 10 years. JonBenet\'s parents were suspects, and falsely accused of the murder by Boulder\'s District Attorney\'s Office and by many members of an overzealous media trying desperately to find the killer.</p>\n<p>Fast forward nine years and seven and a half months from Boulder to Bangkok. The two places could not be more distinct. Or so it seems. Boulder, a calm, sleepy community of 97,273, nestled in Boulder Valley where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. Clean air, wide open spaces. A good place to settle down and raise a family among almost 17,000 other families in Boulder. </p>\n<p>Then there\'s Bangkok, a sprawling, suffocating megalopolis of almost 10 million people, many of whom are just trying to survive on its mean streets filled with cheap knock-off brand-names items and cheaper real no-name people. A place where the filthy rich lock themselves away behind iron gates when the sun goes down, while the dirt poor scour the streets day and night in search of food, drink, and a safe piece of pavement to call home. </p>\n<p>On the streets of Bangkok nothing seems real, but everything is. From the noodle vendors trying to survive on $150.00 a month, to the seven and eight year old urchins selling everything from garlands to gum. From the old women fanning themselves, more to keep the flies away than from the oppressive heat, to the hookers hustling fat balding foreigners for their night\'s pay. Bangkok has it all. It is a city that truly doesn\'t sleep. And when it does, the sleep is fitful, like an old dirty dog twitching from fleas and nightmares. It is a city where anything can happen, and often does. A city where people come by the millions--- 12 million a year by last count--- to have fun, to laugh, to play. Some come to Bangkok to work and study. While some students study law, others come to Bangkok to escape the law. Bangkok is one of the few places on earth where one--- anyone--- can re-invent themselves, truly becoming someone else.</p>\n<p>If you don\'t like yourself, (and how many of us really do?), if you\'re not happy with who you are, (and how many of us really are?), then Bangkok just may be the place for you. Many people come to Bangkok to find themselves, while others come to be themselves. Either way, Bangkok always has what people are looking for.</p>\n<p>For those who haven\'t read my column steadily, I lived in Bangkok from June 2004 until December 2005. I taught English there for those 18 months and enjoyed it very much. I\'m currently teaching at a public middle-school in Pusan, Korea. So when I heard that a teacher, an EFL teacher at that, had been picked up in Bangkok on suspicion of the JonBenet Ramsey murder, I knew that things would change. Or, at least, I hope that things will change. For the better. I, like everyone else, heard the name John Mark Karr for the first time when he was detained by Thai Immigration Officials on August 16th. </p>\n<p>We now know that John Mark Karr did not kill JonBenet Ramsey. His DNA did not match the blood at the scene of the crime. So why did Karr confess to a murder he did not commit? That\'s something for psychiatrists to ponder. But Karr did talk, and what he said made a lot of people sick. Thailand has been a home and a haven for paedophiles for years, and although the situation has improved in the last decade, Thailand is still a home away from home for the perverted, the dispossessed, the sick, and the just plain weird with the promise of satisfaction for every sexual proclivity known to man. </p>\n<p>Yes there has been, and still are other teachers in Thailand and elsewhere who take part in abusing children, but this case is different. What makes it different is that now, for the first time, EFL has a name and a face. And the name and face is that of John Mark Karr. The same John Mark Karr who married and divorced two under aged girls in the United States. The same John Mark Karr who\'s mother believed he was possessed by demons and attempted to burn him alive while he was an infant. The same John Mark Karr who was arrested in 2001 for possessing child pornography. The same John Mark Karr who had his facial hair permanently removed and acquired about a sex-change operation while in Bangkok. And the very same John Mark Karr who has spent the better part of the last five years globe-trotting around Asia and Central America teaching EFL. And that is just some of what we know so far! </p>\n<p>No doubt that Mr. Karr has had a very interesting past. What makes Karr special and so very important for the EFL world, is that he is simply, and whether we like it or not, one of us. An EFL\'er. For too long many of us EFL\'ers have prided ourselves and our occupation on the fact that we accept just about everybody. No one is discriminated against in our world. Hey, got a Bachelor\'s Degree? A TEFL Certificate? No. No problem. You can still teach EFL. You got a mouth, don\'t you? You can speak English, can\'t you? Yes? There you go! You start Monday! </p>\n<p>Perhaps you think I\'m being a bit silly here. Maybe. But how many EFL\'ers are working illegally in Thailand, (and elsewhere), because the schools need them and can\'t be bothered with the legalities of the paperwork? No one knows for sure, but it\'s a lot. How many EFL\'ers are teaching in Thailand, (and elsewhere), with a fake degree or with no degree because the schools need them and can\'t be bothered doing a simple background check? No one knows for sure, but it\'s a lot. How many EFL\'ers are in Thailand under the guise of teaching, but are really here to scratch a sick sexual itch? No one knows for sure, but it\'s probably more than anyone cares to admit. </p>\n<p>This from an editorial from the August 22nd edition of The Nation titled, \"A perfect lure for paedophiles.\"</p>\n<p>\"Another worrying trend is that some paedophiles, fully aware that commercial sex involving minors has become scarcer and riskier here, now come to Thailand to live and work under the guise of legitimate professions like English teaching. Such jobs are plentiful and allow paedophiles access to impressionable youths.</p>\n<p>Indeed, many paedophiles busted by the police were found to have used fake credentials to land teaching jobs at reputable schools, thanks to lax screening procedures and a failure by the Education Ministry to regulate language schools.\"</p>\n<p>I fully realize that the vast majority of paedophilia, whether in Thailand or elsewhere, is home-grown and aimed mostly at the local population. But it doesn\'t excuse the fact, and should never excuse the fact, that a lot of it is not. I also fully realize that around the time that Karr was detained, two male Thai teachers where themselves accused of raping five underage girls at a Bangkok school. In fact, the Director of the school, a woman, came out in support of the teachers and allowed them to stay at the school, (and to even perform rites), while they are being investigated. These teachers are innocent until proven guilty, but it is interesting to say the least how this local case was handled compared with John Mark Karr. </p>\n<p>Which raises the question of what should be done with the foreign element who abuse children, sometimes the very children that they have been entrusted to teach. A lot has been said in the press and on the ajarn forum about background checks, including both credential and criminal background checks for all foreign teachers. This is a great idea, but for this to work the Immigration Department needs to clean up its act as well. It also needs the help of the schools, the parents, and the general public all working together to ensure that only law abiding and truly qualified teachers are hired. Is all this doable? Let\'s look at the facts. </p>\n<p>First, Immigration officials in most poor and developing countries hardly make enough money to survive, and that includes Thailand. Any bribes that they receive for turning a blind eye, is usually most welcome. Second, the schools need teachers. It wasn\'t too long ago that many English language schools in Thailand where fighting a new MOE regulation which required all foreign EFL teachers to complete a 120 hour TESOL course in order for teachers to receive both a work permit and a teacher\'s license. Even to this day there are far too many EFL teachers without a TESOL certificate and thus without the required work visa. Third, although most parents are concerned about unqualified EFL teachers, both they and the public in general feel powerless to prevent unqualified and under-qualified EFL teachers from working in their country, and paedophiles posing as teachers from entering their country. They feel that the checking of a teacher\'s credentials is each school\'s specific priority, while imposing criminal background checks should be the exclusive domain of the Immigration Department or the Department of Justice. </p>\n<p>For far too long, English language schools throughout the world have put unqualified and under-qualified teachers into the classroom, not to mention the sick, the perverted, and the just plain weird. It\'s a simple case of supply and demand. There are just not enough good and qualified teachers for all those who want or need to learn English. For most language schools, it\'s better to have an unqualified teacher in the classroom than no teacher at all. No teacher at all doesn\'t pay the bills. No teacher at all doesn\'t keep the language school owners happy when they see their bank accounts blossom. No teacher at all cannot fool the parents into thinking that their children are actually learning something. So any warm, white skinned, Western body in the classroom is better than no body at all. One can only hope that this kind of greed and stupidity does not extend to paedophiles as well. </p>\n<p>As for getting a criminal background check, it\'s pretty easy and painless. In my case, I did it from overseas here in Korea. I had to have my fingerprints taken at the local police station. I sent those fingerprints along with the application form and a fee of $25.00 Canadian to the Royal Mounted Canadian Police (RCMP) in Ottawa, Canada. It cost an additional $16.00 at the post office, and if I include the taxi fare to and from the police station, it was another $10.00. So $51.00 Canadian or about 1,700 Baht to have the privilege of teaching in a public school. It usually takes between six to eight weeks to receive a reply.</p>\n<p>Checking the teacher\'s credentials and demanding criminal background checks are just two things that must be done. After all, this is considered routine in first world countries that employ teachers. But focusing primarily on an EFL teacher\'s credentials, or lack thereof, in Thailand\'s quest to improve the quality of English teaching would be just plain silly. Yes, qualifications are very important, but remember, John Mark Karr came to Thailand highly qualified. He was a substitute teacher in California, and is probably more qualified than the vast majority of EFL teachers currently in Thailand. He also dressed well and looked like a real teacher, according to the people who hired him. \"Packaging\" seems to be nine-tenths of what constitutes a \"real teacher\" in this part of the world.</p>\n<p>Israel\'s national airline El-Al likes to say that there are no suspicious packages, only suspicious people. They\'re right. By focusing mainly on the package, Thailand, as well as many other Asian countries, may be fooling themselves into believing that just because a teacher wears a long-sleeve lily-white shirt and a plain grey tie, that he is somehow above the sick, perverted, paedophile fray. This is simply a perception, not necessarily a reality. Focusing less on the package and more on the person is a good place to start.</p>\n<p>Since 9/11, law enforcement officials and agencies around the world have been sharing information in an effort to prevent another huge terrorist attack. They call this \"interoperability\" and it seems to be working. The same technology, communication systems, and information sharing that is keeping terrorists off airplanes, should be used to keep paedophiles out of our schools. It should be done, and it must be done.</p>\n<p>A friend of mine teaching here in Pusan contributed this idea on www.pusanweb.com if we want to take this new technology and information sharing one step further. He sees a new kind of passport coming into fruition. In his words, \"This new passport would contain a biometric thumb print, a retina scan print, a DNA/medical chip containing information about a person\'s blood type, etc., and a government chip. This new passport would instantly connect Immigration officials with the traveller\'s government thereby revealing whether or not the person has a criminal record or is listed as a suspicious potential enemy of the State.\"</p>\n<p>Sounds like something out of Mission Impossible to me, but who knows? In the kind of world we\'re now living in, it just may happen one day. Although his idea of this kind of passport would be used to protect us against terrorists, it can also be used to keep paedophiles out of countries like Thailand, and especially, out of EFL classrooms.</p>\n<p>This from an article in the Bangkok Post on August 27th under the headline, \"Thailand under a familiar glare\":</p>\n<p>\"The coverage of the Karr case has left Thailand, however unfairly, in its aftermath, looking pretty ugly to much of the world. What is doubly disappointing is this publicity (aside from that it was brought on by an American paedophile that Thailand never asked for) is that it perpetuates an image that Thailand has spent much of the last 10 years trying to undo.\"</p>\n<p>Yes there has been certain NGO\'s and individuals, both in public and private life, that have been working tirelessly in bringing about positive change in this area. But Thailand\'s reputation as one of the sex capitals of the world is very much earned. As anyone who has ever lived in Thailand knows, there are hundreds of thousands of locals who benefit from the sex industry. And it\'s going to take a very long time indeed to undo it. It has been said numerous times that the Thais are a very tolerant people. That\'s true. But could it be that this very tolerance is one of the driving factors that perpetuates a sex industry that is destroying the very foundation of what supposedly constitutes a civilized society? </p>\n<p>Thailand needs a lot of angry people--- very angry people--- to stand up and shout, \"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!\" But the apathy, powerlessness, and fatalism that has permeated all levels of Thai society has strangled any real efforts to make any serious dent in a sex industry that has kept hundreds of thousands of people dependent of sex tourists and paedophiles for their very livelihood. In a situation like that, the John Mark Karrs of the world are a very welcome sight indeed. While some Thais are angry and really want to do something, too many others throw their arms up in the air in resignation and say, \"Oh well, another pervert farang. I just hope he has money.\" And the story and cycle continues.</p>\n<p>In the end, it\'s up to Thailand. They got themselves into this mess, and it is they who will have to clean it up. That may be horrible to say, but Thailand is now at a crossroad. Will the Thais get together and finally stand up and shout in unison, \"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!\", or will they simply sit back, close their eyes, and think of the money? After all, the sex industry in Thailand is a one billion U.S. dollar a year business, or between three and four per cent of Thailand\'s Gross Domestic Product. That\'s a lot to give up for a developing nation. </p>\n<p>There has been great strides in Thailand during the last decade. Law enforcement officials are arresting more people who abuse children. More children and young adults are attending school. Loans for students and vocational training for them have been introduced to some poor families. And it also must be repeated again and again that there are many kind-hearted, dedicated, and well qualified EFL teachers living and working in Thailand. These teachers work tirelessly in an effort to make a positive difference in the lives of their students. Their efforts should never go unnoticed or taken for granted. But more needs to be done, and more will be done once more Thais enter the middle-class. If one statistic tells the story, it is this from the August 20th edition of the Bangkok Post under the headline, \"Reality still harsh for many.\"</p>\n<p>\"A radical inequality in income is visible as the richest 30% of the population hold 82% of the income while the poorest 30% hold only 9%.\" </p>\n<p>The rich and the middle-class do not sell their children into prostitution. If the rich and the powerful of Thai society really want to change Thailand\'s image from a sexual playpen where far too women and children are bought and sold to the highest bidder, to a caring and compassionate society where children and their futures are valued, then they would do well to help the poorest of their own country. And as for the poor who sell their children into prostitution, it is time to begin loving your children more and start loving money less.</p>\n<p>Although we now know that John Mark Karr did not murder JonBenet Ramsey, he remains one sick charlatan among the thousands of sickos, weirdos, and perverts that are allowed to enter the Kingdom of Thailand every year. Karr is, and should remain, a black eye on Bangkok\'s already bruised and battered corpus. There are many in the Kingdom, from politicians to members of the media, that would love to blame us foreigners for the mess that Thailand finds itself in. Although many of us are not totally blameless, we should never allow Thailand to get away with placing the lion\'s share of the blame on others, while much of their own population languishes in the mire of poverty and sexual exploitation. That would be too convenient and give the Thais an all too easy escape route instead of taking the long, hard road into solving their own problems. </p>\n<p>But wouldn\'t it be nice if John Mark Karr became the impetus for positive change in Thailand? Wouldn\'t it be nice if we EFL\'ers stood together to say, \"He\'s NOT one of us?\" Wouldn\'t it be nice if Thailand used Karr as an example of who NOT to allow into their beautiful country? The opportunity is here. There is no better time than now. Thailand is now at a crossroad. Which way will it go? Positive change, or the status quo? </p>\n<p>It\'s, as the Thais love to say, \"Up to you!\"</p>','','2006-08-31 23:37:17',1,'2006-08-31 23:37:17','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(95,4,'The greatest myth','the-greatest-myth','How communicative language teaching fails','These truths are not wild, philosophical, esoteric ramblings.

They are the three premises that will lead me to the conclusion that Communicative Language Teaching, or CLT, ultimately lead to failure. Failure on the part of language schools; failure on the part of teachers; and, most importantly, failure on the part of far too many students. </p>\n<p>Throughout history people have created systems, ideologies, and methodologies for all sorts of reasons: To make our lives easier; to facilitate the day to day activities of our existence; and even to change the world. We have created all sorts of systems, methods, and \"isms\"--- political, social, religious, and educational. We join social movements, political groups, think tanks and study groups. We even attend seminars and conferences. We do this because we think we can change things for the better. And many times, we do. Every once in a while, we actually get things right. Certain political movements have made the lives of women, blacks, and homosexuals far better and equal than they ever were. </p>\n<p>But ironically and paradoxically, there are times when our attempts to create a system or a method to make things easier for us and for others becomes the very same system or method that fails us. And the sad thing about this is that it doesn\'t have to be that way. The educational system, and more specifically, how we choose to teach English as a second or foreign language is a perfect example of how our methods of teaching is failing the very same people it was meant to help. </p>\n<p>A case in point: Although all three of my initial premises are interrelated, let\'s take the first two: \"Numbers don\'t lie, people do\", and \"People don\'t fail systems, systems fail people.\" When I taught at a well-known English language school in Bangkok last year, teachers were periodically given the opportunity to test the students. These weren\'t level tests, although the school did have them. These were \"gateway\" tests given after every fourth level to see who will move on to the next level and the next book. In one of my level four gateway tests, 20 students took part. Nine passed, and 11 failed. Of course there were other opportunities for the students who failed to retake the test. There were other teachers who experienced similar results.</p>\n<p>As we educators all know, there are a multitude of reasons why some students fail tests and exams. I myself was never very good at them. Some students don\'t memorize things very well. Others don\'t study as much as they should. Maybe the teacher didn\'t prepare the students as well as should be expected. While others, perhaps, just don\'t have good luck. Most of the students who have failed are probably asking themselves, \"What\'s wrong with me? Am I stupid or something?\" Maybe those questions can apply to a few students. I don\'t believe that these questions can be applied to most adult students studying EFL. </p>\n<p>Far better questions to ask are, </p>\n<p>1) What is wrong with a system that would allow 30%, 40%, and even half of the students to fail a simple English test?<br />\n2) What is wrong with the school\'s method or way of teaching that would allow for such a high failure rate? </p>\n<p>While I fully realize that there will always be students who fail--- some by their own fault--- the major and primary responsibility of a school is to ensure that as many students as possible pass. If the failure rate is consistently at 30-40%, then it\'s not only the students who look bad and incompetent. We must allow ourselves to look at this situation that we created as unnecessary, the method as unjust, the institution full of folly, incompetence, and perhaps, bitter political partisanship, and the system in desperate need of transformation. </p>\n<p>The method used by many, if not the vast majority of language schools and public schools that employ native English teachers, is called Communicative Language Teaching or CLT. This method is becoming increasingly under scrutiny by many TESOL professionals. And for good reason. In fact, many TESOL professionals don\'t consider CLT a \"method\" of second language instruction.</p>\n<p>In his essay on the subject, Dimitrios Thanasoulas calls CLT not a method, but \"an approach which transcends the boundaries of concrete methods and, concomitantly, techniques. It is a theoretical position about the nature of language and language learning and teaching.\" 1 The communicative approach tell us only how we should approach the subject matter, not specifically what we should be teaching.</p>\n<p>Which brings up a very essential question: Just what is Communicative Language Teaching? Consider these two responses.</p>\n<p>---- CLT is a \"teaching approach where negotiation for meaning is critical. The teacher becomes a facilitator. Collaborative learning and peer interaction is important. Students and teacher select and organize curriculum contents.\" 2 (Italics mine.)</p>\n<p>---- \"CLT makes use of real life situations that necessitate communication. The teacher sets up a situation that students are likely to encounter in real life. Unlike the audio lingual method of language teaching, which relies on repetition and drills, the communicative approach can leave students in suspense as to the outcome of a class exercise, which will vary according to their reactions and responses. The real-life situations change from day to day. Students\' motivation to learn comes from their desire to communicate in meaningful ways about meaningful topics.\" 3 (Italics mine.)</p>\n<p>You may have noticed that I chosen to put certain phrases in italics. Some may find that leaving students in suspense as to the outcome of a class exercise is a good thing. I don\'t. The classroom is not a movie theatre, and for the students to not know the outcome of a class exercise is to bamboozle them, shortchange them, and to somehow trick them into thinking that they are learning more than they actually are. If a teacher does not want to shortchange the students by leaving them in suspense as to the outcome of a class exercise, then don\'t negotiate for meaning with them.</p>\n<p>I\'m not saying that the teacher is, and should always be the de facto boss, but negotiating for meaning with them will leave you, as a teacher, with less authority in the eyes of your students. It will also leave your students with a lot less respect for you as a teacher. </p>\n<p>And just how do we communicate in \"meaningful ways\" using \"meaningful topics?\" Is teaching our students how to order a Big Mac with fries in English meaningful? Is putting advanced adults in groups and having them talk about controversial topics such as religion, abortion, or pre-marital sex meaningful? Asking advanced groups of adults what they want to talk about is useless and dangerous. It will lead to confusion as to the roles of the teacher and students. It will lead to anger on the part of the students when their point of view isn\'t expressed. And, most importantly, it will lead to the downfall of the class. Don\'t believe me? Try talking about religion and see how many of your students come back.</p>\n<p>Stephen Bax argues that CLT \"has always neglected one key aspect of language teaching--- namely the context in which it takes place--- and that the consequences of this are serious, to the extent that we need to demote CLT as our main paradigm, and adopt something more similar to what I term a Context Approach.\" 4 (Italics mine.)</p>\n<p>Bax argues that his context approach takes into account many different ways of learning a language, that \"Other methods and approaches may be equally valid\" 5, and that \"the context is a crucial determiner of the success or failure of learners.\" 6</p>\n<p>CLT also tells us to create a \"natural environment\" in the classroom so that students can communicate naturally. Create a natural environment in the classroom where students can communicate naturally? Just whose environment are we talking about? If I, as a Canadian, is teaching in Bangkok, do I go with a Canadian environment or a Bangkokian environment? And just what is a Canadian or a Bangkokian environment anyway? The same goes for a British female teaching in Osaka, Japan or an American male teaching in Pusan, Korea. Which environment are we speaking of, and how, specifically, are we to go about magically transforming a sterile classroom into a Pizza Hut so that our students can feel comfortable ordering a large cheese crust with everything on it? </p>\n<p>But the failure of CLT goes way beyond simply attempting to create a more natural environment for our students. Here are some other major flaws of the Communicative Approach.</p>\n<p>(a) CLT takes too much time for students to actually learn anything substantive.<br />\n(b) CLT takes too much for granted in relation to the students.<br />\n(c) CLT leaves too much open to chance.</p>\n<p>Let\'s take these flaws one at a time. </p>\n<p>(a) CLT takes too much time for students to actually learn anything substantive.<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ </p>\n<p>At the Bangkok language school where I used to teach last year, there were 17 levels. Levels one through 15 with two pre-levels (A and B) prior to level one. Let\'s say that some poor soul tested into pre-level A and wants to go through the whole system of 17 levels. Each level consists of six weeks with a one week break between each level, a two week break for Songkran (the Thai New Year and water festival) and a three week break for Christmas and New Years. If my math serves me correctly, 17 x 6 = 102. Add about 20 weeks for all the breaks between levels and that takes us up to 122 weeks. That\'s almost 28 months, or two years and four and a half months to get through the system. And that\'s without failing any of the \"Gateway\" tests and the level 15 speaking test, which many students fail and choose to repeat.</p>\n<p>Let\'s look at this realistically. Do busy, hardworking adult students have 30, 28, or even 24 months to learn English? I fully realize that it takes time to learn another language, but I also understand that in today\'s fast-paced globalized work environment, students not only need to learn English, they need to learn it very quickly. Or at least as quickly as possible. There are English language schools using methods, like the Callan Method, which claims that students learn in one quarter of the time. A slight exaggeration, perhaps, but a more direct method may prove to be a more effective way of teaching English to many Asian students who are not used to a student- centered atmosphere.</p>\n<p>(b) CLT takes too much for granted in relation to the students.<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p>\n<p>CLT is certainly a fun way to teach and I\'m sure it\'s a fun way to learn. Using warmers to begin the class, pair-work, group work, etc. takes the onus and some of the pressure off the teacher, but, again, we must ask ourselves, is this the best way for our students to learn? Student generated activities are sometimes fine. It can break the monotony of a more teacher-centered, direct method of learning. But we are only fooling ourselves and shortchanging the students if we believe that a steady diet of CLT and student generated activities will, in the end, somehow magically transform our students into confident and proficient English speakers. EFL students want, need, and expect results for the money they spend on English lessons and the time they spend in the classroom. CLT alone is not meeting those wants, needs, and expectations.</p>\n<p>(c) CLT leaves too much open to chance.<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Specifically, CLT tells the students that once they are in groups, something magical will happen. They will talk, discuss, even debate the particular topic or activity. They will banter and argue, (amicably, of course), and, eventually, they will reach a consensus and conclusion that they will present to the whole class for its approval. In theory this sounds fantastic, and it sometimes does happen. But more often than not, it doesn\'t. More often than not we Western English teachers are teaching in countries and cultures where discussing openly, debating, bantering, arguing, and reaching a consensus is not encouraged among its population. That is another problem with CLT.</p>\n<p>Although there are times when CLT will lead to \"Eureka!\" moments, and may lead to serendipitous discoveries among the students, these are few and far between. Serendipitous discoveries are those \"magical moments\" when the proverbial light bulb goes off in a student\'s head. Magical and rare moments, indeed, but serendipity alone can never compensate for a more holistic approach to second language acquisition. </p>\n<p>Failure, especially a failing system, can never be made an option. It is an unfortunate and inevitable result of the educational endeavor. It is never pleasant to have some of your students fail a test, the final exam, or your class. Even though failure in an inevitable result of the learning experience, it should never be made an option of any educational institution. Once failure of the students is made an option, it thus becomes a failure of the system to meet the specific needs of the students. </p>\n<p>Getting back to the \"Gateway\" tests at my former school, in teaching the communicative approach, just what is it that we\'re testing our students for? What is it precisely and specifically that we\'re asking our students to regurgitate? If CLT did not fail the students so consistently and in such large numbers, then the failure rate for these \"Gateway\" tests should be no more than 15%. And it certainly should never be more than 20%. But we must first find out what it is that we are testing our students for. We can drastically reduce the failure rate of our students if these three conditions are met:</p>\n<p>(a) The school must have a mission which corresponds to the social and economic realities of the day.<br />\n(b) The method of teaching being used by the school must correspond to how the local population learns.<br />\n(c) The school, the teachers, and the students must be \"on the same page\" as to how this method is implemented.</p>\n<p>The school\'s mission is extremely important and can never be underestimated. A school\'s mission gives the teachers a very clear idea of where it wants to take the students. It also gives the students a very clear idea of whether the school takes them seriously enough to invest the time, money, and energy in developing a system and method of language learning that will allow the students to achieve their desired results in the shortest possible time. </p>\n<p>Going back to my former school in Bangkok, this language school was established in the early 1950\'s and was the first English language school in Thailand. Back then it\'s mission was to spread the English language and American culture throughout the Kingdom of Siam, while preventing the spread of Southeast Asian Communism from entering Siam. At the time it was certainly a worthwhile goal, especially if you were a Capitalist landowner. But we now live in the 21st Century. We now have computers and satellite television. And the last time I turned on CNN, Laos was not about to invade Thailand. Cuba is not about to send over spy planes. We now live in different times. </p>\n<p>This brings me to my third external and indisputable truth: \"Time doesn\'t change things, things change in time.\" Since things change in time, missions must also change with the times. Let\'s look at how other schools see their mission.</p>\n<p>One Callan (Direct Method) School in Bangkok says its mission is to \"enhance the potential of students to understand, respond to, and contribute to a rapidly changing world.\" They also seek to \"accomplish this mission by teaching language, tutoring Math and Science and by preparing students for success for the many tests that will be given by academic institutions.\" 7 (Italics mine.) Rapidly changing world; preparing students for tests; Sounds like this school is taking their responsibilities seriously. </p>\n<p>Another Callan Method School in Bangkok, this one for children, says that their mission is \"to help Thai people both understand and enjoy the benefits of improved communication skills in English.\" 8 </p>\n<p>A bit vague and unspecific, perhaps, but in her letter to the parents on the school\'s website, Managing Director, Khun Uthaiwan Jantharan tells them that by sending their children to her school, \"we can build upon the lessons you have taught and allow them to become not only well qualified and highly capable in the profession they intend to choose, but also help them to achieve their goals with excellence.\" 9 (Now this should be the school\'s mission statement.)</p>\n<p>Stephen Bax and others in the ELT field, see a paradigm shift in how we think about and actually go about teaching EFL students. Bax claims that we are going from CLT to a more context approach. A context approach has always been essential in teaching EFL. \"Good teachers naturally take account of the context in which they teach--- the culture, the students, and so on--- even when they hold that CLT is essentially the answer.\" 10</p>\n<p>Remember my student from a past academic writing class who exclaimed, \"We don\'t learn like that!\" in reference to Westernized textbooks and teaching methods. (See last month\'s column.) We must take into account how other people learn. This doesn\'t mean that we must throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. On the contrary. Bax sums it up:</p>\n<p>\"With all these factors given their full importance as far as possible in each situation, the teacher will then identify a suitable approach and language focus. The decision will depend on the \'context analysis\'. It may be that an emphasis on grammar is useful to start with, or an emphasis on oral communication. It may be that lexis will come first. It may be that groupwork is suitable, or a more formal lecture mode. The approach will probably be eclectic, in order to meet varied learner needs. All this will take place within a framework of generating communication--- CLT will not be forgotten. But it will not be allowed to overrule context. Then, as the lesson unfolds, the teacher will aim to be as attentive as possible to contextual factors, and will patronize these over methodological aspects.\" 11 </p>\n<p>Here are a couple of important points for language schools to consider when taking the contemporary needs of the students into account:</p>\n<p>A good language school does not put 20--25 students into a CLT student-centered classroom and simply hopes for the best. A good language school limits a context based, method-centered classroom to no more than 8--10 students and expects the best. Why? Because CLT student-centered classes may have a general function, but they don\'t serve a specific pedagogical purpose outside of the communicative aspect. Students are spending their time and money not for function, but for a specific purpose and for results. </p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer, esl_steve@excite.com<br />\nAugust, 2006.</p>\n<p>References:<br />\n-----------------<br />\n1 Thanasoulas, Dimitrios. \"The Changing Winds and Shifting Sands of the History of English Language Teaching.\"<br />\nwww.tefl.net/es/-articles/history-esl-teaching.htm </p>\n<p>2 Language Acquisition: Glossary of Second and Primary Language Acquisition Terms.<br />\nhttp://earthrenewal.org/secondlang.htm </p>\n<p>3 Galloway, Ann. \"Communicative Language Teaching: An Introduction and Sample Activities.\"<br />\nCenter for Applied Linguistics, ERIC Digest.

It\'s their way or the highway.','<p>While teaching at a well known language school in Bangkok last year, there was a three day professional development seminar on classroom management titled \"Controlling the Chaos.\" Interesting and informative though it was, my mind harks back to the closing remarks made by its owner on the last day. </p>\n<p>Paraphrasing, the owner said that he didn\'t like the fact that he found many of the teachers sitting down while teaching. Although he admitted and understood that age does play a significant factor in this--- many teachers at this school are in their 40\'s and 50\'s--- he would prefer to see his teachers standing and moving around in their two and three hour classes as much as possible. Then he said something that shocked even the most seasoned EFL veteran. </p>\n<p>After talking to people and looking at various internet websites, including ajarn.com, this owner went on to say that a major problem with his school was that, at least in the eyes of many netizens, no one at his school ever gets fired. And, \"maybe we should.\" Yes, he did say that. Maybe we should fire teachers. Of course he gave no reasons why he thought he should fire teachers. But being the boss, I guess he feels he doesn\'t have to.</p>\n<p>At first, I though he was joking. And talking to my friends and many of the seminar\'s participants afterwards, a lot of others thought the same. But it became clear that he wasn\'t joking. Never mind that he has absolutely no idea who his teachers are. Never mind that his spends most of his day in his palatial air conditioned office or perusing the halls to see if his teachers are sitting down. The teachers are hired and fired by the Director of Courses and the Deputy Director of Courses. At least I was.</p>\n<p>As it became clear that the owner wasn\'t joking, the seminar was over, and it was time to eat and drink. But I am still living with the regret of not having spoken up. I wish I would have spoken up then. I wish I would have spoken up at any time in the last six months. But recent personal events and my job hunting has put this column on the back burner. Until now.</p>\n<p>I would have taken the microphone, and I think, and hope, this is what I would have said:<br />\n_____________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Sir: </p>\n<p>As I look around, I see perhaps 50 to 55 teachers. There are teachers here from the United States. There are teachers here from England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and even India. There are teachers in your school from the Philippines. All very good and capable teachers. Many of us are in your country for different reasons. Some of us came to Thailand to learn about a very different country and culture. Others may have come here to make money and support family members either here or back home. While others are here to enjoy the nightlife, many more are in your country because they love to teach and want to make a positive difference in the lives of their students. </p>\n<p>However, there is a common thread that binds us all. We are all human; we are all teachers, and most of all, we deserve respect. All of us have left our homeland to come to your country to teach English, a language that is needed if Thailand is to compete in a very competitive and globalized world. In case you haven\'t noticed, Sir, it\'s not easy to leave one\'s home, to travel to a distant land, and to live and work in an unfamiliar place. So respect is due to us teachers, Sir. We are the ones working for very little money so that you and people like you can become rich. So respect is due to us teachers, Sir. The fact that there are so many teachers here at this seminar is living proof that we want to become even better teachers. So respect is due to us teachers, Sir. Some of us are long standing members of Thai society and have married Thai nationals. And those teachers who have married Thai nationals, support their spouse and children. So respect is due to us teachers, Sir. And all of us, every single one of us, greatly contribute to Thai society and its economy. For that, your utmost respect is due to us, Sir.</p>\n<p>So the next time you want to talk about firing teachers, consider what was just said. And then show some gratitude and respect. Thank you.\"<br />\n_________________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>And with shaking hands, I put down the microphone--- and---- and, would probably have been fired on the spot. Wait a minute. I was fired. A few months later I received an email from the Deputy Director of Courses while I was on a one week holiday in Pattaya. I had requested an internal transfer from the main branch to another branch just outside the city. The letter was short and terse, and requested a meeting with me as soon as I returned to Bangkok. He also accused me of not being what is lovingly referred to by TESOL management a \"reflective teacher.\"</p>\n<p>So there I was, in the office of the Director of Courses with the Director and the Deputy Director. The Director of Courses held a thick file. It was just after I had met with the owner, who told me that my services were no longer needed. In the folder were copies of emails that I had sent them regarding my transfer request. In them, I had also criticized the management for what I considered to be mismanagement regarding not only myself, but also the students and other teachers. In the folder were also copies of previous columns that I had written for ajarn.com. </p>\n<p>The Director of Courses took one column out of the file and began to quote from it. It was the October 2005 column titled, \"Touch Their Hearts and Their Minds Will Follow\", in which I speculated that Thais use the right side of their brain far more often, and to much better effect than we Westerners do, and, perhaps our teaching style and methodology should reflect that. I also speculated that the poor choices we Western educators make in regards to textbooks for EFL classes, especially academic writing classes, do not reflect how the majority of Asians in general, and Thais in particular, learn. </p>\n<p>In her office, the Director of Courses called my comments \"condescending\", and implied that I was looking down on Asians and Thais in particular. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. I did reminder her that we teachers are entitled to our opinions regardless of whether language school managers agreed with them.</p>\n<p>The Deputy Director of Courses went on to say that he had \"interviewed\" a number of my lower level two students. A \"few\" of them had trouble understanding you, he said. Although he had absolutely no proof whatsoever of this \"interview\" or the results for me to look at, he used it as evidence of my need to be terminated. It is interesting to note that in a previous level two class, I had received a wonderful gift and a very beautiful card signed by most of the students. </p>\n<p>Unlike the seminar a few months back, there was no microphone in the room. But I do have something else to say regarding the Director\'s comments towards my columns and the Deputy Director\'s comments about his \"interviewing\" the students.<br />\n____________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Madame Director: </p>\n<p>Your comments about my ajarn.com\'s columns, although legitimate opinions, were wholly inappropriate and unbecoming for a Director of a major language school. To simply disagree with its content or message, is one thing. To openly accuse a teacher of being condescending and looking down on his students, especially with no proof whatsoever, is something else. If you were to have sat down with this teacher and attempted to engage in an open and honest discussion about this teacher\'s opinions and beliefs, whether it be learning theory or the day to day handlings of management and administration, that could have made headway into solving any problems there may have been. But your heavy-handed, almost dictatorial approach to teacher/management relations makes this practically impossible. </p>\n<p>I\'m sure running a language school isn\'t easy. Several things must be done to please teachers and students alike. As far as the teachers are concerned, whenever problems arise, as they invariably will from time to time, honest discussion, open dialogue, and fair and balanced debate are sure ways to help solve the problems. Teachers must feel that they are a part of the problem solving process. If we are not part of that process, then you as a Director have failed in your role by alienating us and not bringing us into the fold. This can never be allowed to happen.</p>\n<p>Again, you may not agree with certain things that the teachers say or believe, Madame Director, but we do have the right to believe and say them. In fact, we not only have the right, but the responsibility to speak out against any injustice, in your school or outside of it, whether perceived or real. The vast majority of teachers at your school are far better than you give them credit for. They are professional, dedicated, and well prepared. Gratitude and respect is owed to each and every one of them.\"<br />\n_______________________________________________________________ </p>\n<p>As far as the Deputy Director\'s \"interviewing\" skills are concerned:<br />\n_______________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>\"Mr. Deputy Director: </p>\n<p>Interviewing the students from time to time to see how any particular teacher is doing is a fantastic idea. In fact, I am all for this system of teacher assessment. I have even used it myself on occasion--- without the \"help\" of management--- while in Korea. It can be used to great effect in helping the teacher improve his or her skills and confidence, but only if it is done properly. </p>\n<p>Let me tell you a little secret about teachers, Mr. Deputy Director. Most teachers, especially those in the TESOL profession, are not as confident as we let on. In fact, a lot of us--- far too many of us--- are just a little bit scared and down right paranoid. One day someone may find out that we are not the great EFL teachers we claim to be, and then our hoax is uncovered. </p>\n<p>If \"interviewing\" the students is a way for you to help a teacher to become a better teacher, then I must thank you honestly and wholeheartedly. After all, you would have the teachers and students best interests in mind. But if you are \"interviewing\" the students as a way to drive a wedge between the teacher and the students, and to falsely prove to yourself that the teacher is inadequate, then you Sir, are undeserving of your post. Interviewing the students with the sole intention of denigrating the teacher is not only extremely unprofessional, it is also highly unethical. At the very least, you should be \"called to the carpet\" to explain your actions for this.</p>\n<p>As for \"a few students\", (in your words), not understanding the teacher, whatever happened to \"different students will have different levels of ability\" in every EFL class? Or do they not teach that anymore, Mr. Deputy Director?</p>\n<p>You see, Mr. Deputy Director, you can neither disparage nor denigrate a teacher without disparaging or denigrating his students. Conversely, you can neither compliment the teacher\'s ability to teach without also complimenting the learner\'s ability to learn. To call a teacher inadequate is to call his students inadequate. (Remember my January, 2006 column on ajarn.com titled: \"The Teachers and Learners as One: Towards a New Theology of TESOL.\") </p>\n<p>You may think me an inadequate and bad teacher, Mr. Deputy Director. That\'s fine, and it\'s your right. But in so doing, you also think of my students, any by extension, your students as inadequate. And that\'s NOT fine. Any dedicated teacher should be upset by this abuse of your position, and I am no exception.</p>\n<p>Perhaps a bit of \"reflective management\" is in order here, Sir.\"<br />\n_____________________________________________________ </p>\n<p>If I\'ve made this column about me or any one particular school, then I apologize. This is not my intention. This column is not necessarily about me or any one particular school, although what happened at this school did happen to me. Being fired from a language school, for whatever reason, happens to so many of us everyday. Listening to some fat cat language school owner say that he should fire more teachers just because he can is just one of the things that we have to put up with on a regular basis. Listening to an out of touch language school director calling a teacher names may not be pleasant. But it\'s something that happens hundreds of times in the ELF world every day. Listening to an assistant director or a manager telling a teacher that your students don\'t understand you--- or worse, don\'t like you--- is something that happens hundreds of times a day in this business. It happens to me. And it happens to countless others. Sometimes these things happen because some of it is true. Most of the time these things happen because it is not true. </p>\n<p>Outside of methodology, teaching and learning philosophy, and location, language schools are not that different from one another. But one thing is certain: Language school directors and managers must start listening to their students and teachers. We know far more about our students and how they learn than they care to admit.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been thinking a lot lately about my role as an ELF teacher; about our roles not only as EFL teachers, but as Western educators teaching in foreign countries. I remember a student I had in an academic writing class a while back. He was very bright and had been attending this school off and on for a number of years. Flipping through the textbook he told me, \"We don\'t learn like that.\" I asked him what he meant. I was fortunate enough as a teacher that he elaborated. \"I mean, the communicative way. We Thais don\'t learn like that. In our schools it\'s all listen, repeat; listen, repeat. It\'s very repetitive. Maybe it\'s boring, but that\'s how we learn. Put us in a group and tell us to talk, and we don\'t know what to say. This Western way, it\'s very interesting. But we don\'t learn that way.\" </p>\n<p>He was, of course, speaking from the Thai point of view. His point was well taken. It could have been a Korean speaking. Or a Japanese person. Or a Chinese person. The message would have been the same. </p>\n<p>Now I\'m learning. Very slowly, and a little late in my EFL career. But not too late. I\'m learning that every country and every society has its own way of learning; its own way of processing knowledge and information. I\'m learning that we EFL teachers must work within each country\'s boundaries, and within their own system. I\'m learning that it\'s not right to take our fancy-schmancy Western learning theories and attempt to apply them somewhere else. I\'m learning this because I\'m listening to the students. And what I\'m hearing is, \"We don\'t learn like that.\" Perhaps it is time to dispose of our Western arrogance in regards to how others learn. Perhaps it is time for Western directors, deputy directors, and managers to stop ramming their Western learning theories down the throats of their students, and to start listening to their students. This starts at the top. Teachers cannot succeed until their students succeed. And language schools and managers will never be successful until their teachers and students succeed first. </p>\n<p>I realize that many language schools have a huge problem listening to their teachers, especially the native English teachers. It\'s as if they want us to shut up and tow the party line; don\'t rock the boat; don\'t try to fix things. How is anything suppose to change for the better in an atmosphere like that? It\'s not enough for many language schools to tell us what to teach; they also feel they need to tell us what to think. It\'s their way or the highway. \"If you don\'t like it, then leave\", many of them tell us. This simplistic statement comes from simplistic minds. Minds that are caught in a time warp. Minds that have not even considered the realities of a changing world for English language learners. It\'s one thing for a language school not to listen to their teachers; it\'s quite another for any language school not to listen to their students. \"We don\'t learn like that.\" To me, that message is loud and clear. And any language school that doesn\'t listen to that message runs the risk of being left in the dust. Language schools that don\'t move forward have teachers and students that don\'t move forward. And this should never be tolerated.</p>\n<p>Good teachers look for three things in a language school:</p>\n<p>1) Honesty<br />\n2) Honesty<br />\n3) Honesty.</p>\n<p>And good students look for three things in a language school:</p>\n<p>1) Results<br />\n2) Results<br />\n3) Results.</p>\n<p>There\'s an important point here. Things are changing. Economic realities are causing the world to globalize. For reasons of business and commerce, many of the world\'s people feel that they must learn to speak English, or watch their businesses and futures disintegrate. Economies may stagnate from time to time, but societies never do. Societies, cultures, companies, and even schools must continually move forward. If they don\'t, they die. So new language schools are continually opening up. New schools with new ideas and different methods of learning English. Those schools with outdated models of teaching English will have to change or perish. These old schools not only have to change their ways of teaching to ensure that everyone succeeds, they also need to change their mission.</p>\n<p>A language school\'s mission and ways of teaching so that managers, teachers, and students succeed in this brave new globalized world, is something I will get into in more detail next month.</p>','','2006-06-30 23:56:20',1,'2006-06-30 23:56:20','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(97,4,'Caring or kinky?','caring-or-kinky','Corporal punishment in public schools','According to studies and surveys, neither the majority of teachers, parents, nor students are against corporal punishment in school.

Neither shame nor physical pain have any other effect than a hardening one.\"</p>\n<p>---- Ellen Key, Swedish writer, 1849--1926.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I was sitting in the teacher\'s room when I heard it. It was an unmistakable sound. At first I didn\'t believe it. Or I didn\'t want to believe it. Then I heard it again, and this time, there was an angry teacher yelling something in Korean prior to this unmistakable sound and a muffled cry immediately following it. The sound, first like a whistle, fast and furious, then the \"thwack!\" as wooden paddle met butt cheeks. </p>\n<p>I got up off my chair and tentatively stepped out of the teacher\'s room. My head turned slowly toward the left and down at the floor. I saw two girls, perhaps 14, down on all fours, and a male Korean teacher standing directly behind them with a wooden paddle. Again he yelled something in his native tongue, then, \"Thwack!\", his wooden paddle met the girl\'s buttocks. The sound reverberated all the way down the hall. I winced, but not as much as the girls I\'m sure. One girl took off her glasses to wipe her tear streaked face, only to be yelled at once more. I turned around and went back into the teacher\'s room not knowing what to do or think. This spectacle went on for another minute or two, then stopped as suddenly as it had begun.</p>\n<p>A week before, I saw something similar in the teacher\'s room. Two young teenage boys were on their knees in front of another male teacher who chastised them openly before boinking one of them pretty hard with his wooden stick, this time, on the boy\'s head! That \"boink\" sound as wood met skull made the boy cry, but in neither case did any of the other teachers come to the student\'s rescue. I have no idea what any of these students were being punished for--- perhaps not getting a good grade on a test, but I began to ask myself if corporal punishment is really the answer to the question of how to best deal with these students.</p>\n<p>Corporal punishment in public schools has a long and very dark history that continues to this day. It is not necessarily an Asian phenomenon, nor is it particular to any one country. In fact, we in the so called \"progressive\" and \"enlightened\" West are still struggling with it ourselves. As I write, according to the websites www.stophitting.com and www.repeal43.org, corporal punishment in schools is still legal in 21 U.S states as of November 2005, and in certain school districts in three Canadian provinces. Although corporal punishment was officially banned in all British schools in 1998, teachers can still use \"reasonable force\" in cases where students may cause harm to property and each other. So we in the West have not solved the problem of child truancy either.</p>\n<p>But since I\'m currently teaching English at a public middle school in South Korea, let\'s look at the problem here. And it\'s a pretty big problem. This from the September 14, 2003 issue of the Korea Times, headlined, \"7 in 10 Schools Allow Corporal Punishment.\"</p>\n<p>\"According to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development yesterday, 7,536 out of 10,381 schools across the country maintain an internal regulation that empowers teachers to dispense corporal punishment.\"</p>\n<p>In June of 2002, the Korean Ministry of Education did come up with \"a specific set of procedures\" and guidelines for teachers in dealing with unruly students. This from the June 28, 2002 issue of the Korea Herald, headlined, \"New rules on corporal punishment stoke controversy.\"</p>\n<p>\"The Education Ministry announced Wednesday revised regulations on corporal punishment, which allows teachers to give high school students up to 10 whacks using wooden sticks with a diameter less 1.5 cm and length less than 60cm. The regulations will take place this fall.</p>\n<p>Male students can be hit only on the buttocks and female students only on the thighs, and the punishment cannot be meted out in the presence of other students. Another teacher or school official, such as a vice principal or guidance counselor, has to be present when the student is being punished. Those facing corporal punishment have the right to ask for a different form of discipline.</p>\n<p>Elementary and middle school students can be struck with a wooden stick whose diameter and length do not exceed 1 cm and 50 cm respectively. Elementary school students can be hit up to five times, while middle school students up to 10 times.\"</p>\n<p>Needless to say, just about everyone had an opinion on this. And many teachers, students, and parents posted numerous complaints about these new guidelines. A spokesman for the Korean Federation of Teachers Associations (KFTA) called some of the measures \"unreasonable and vague.\" A high school student asked, \"Is it possible to report these teachers after we get thumped?\" Another teacher called these guidelines, \"the most deplorable measure devised by bureaucrats\", while another lamented the fact that \"the authority of teachers has already diminished\" and now teachers \"have to measure the length of the rod to punish students.\" (Yes, I do realize how perverted that sounds.)</p>\n<p>When are students beaten? This question was answered by Yoon Ji-hi, a writer for Seoul\'s Joong Ang Daily on September 26, 2003.</p>\n<p>\"Students are beaten when they are late for school, fight with friends, run around the playground in slippers, do not eat their school meals, fail to bring the required materials for a class, or when their grades fall. Are all of these really reasons for children to be hit? If so, no one in the world could avoid a beating. Then, why can children be hit? Is beating guaranteed by law?\" </p>\n<p>What do Korean parents think of their kids being whacked in school? Are they for it? Do they see a problem? Well, in a \"national telephone survey of 1,272 people, 91.8% of mothers and 82.9% of fathers approved of corporal punishment of children.\" </p>\n<p>(Kim, Y.J. 1998. \"A study of correlations between attitudes about domestic violence and violent behaviors.\" Korean Family Welfare Studies, vol. 2, pp, 87-114, cited in Doe, S.J., 2000, \"Cultural factors in child maltreatment and domestic violence in Korea\", Children and Youth Services Review; vol. 22, nos. 3/4, pp. 231-236.)</p>\n<p>How about the students themselves? Are they all for being whacked by their teachers? Do they see a problem? \"In a nationwide survey of 3,228 students conducted by the Korean Federation of Teachers Association (KFTA) in April 2003, 70% said that corporal punishment given by their teachers was fair, but it should be limited to severe cases of insubordination. Students said teachers should not abuse the right to punish students.\" </p>\n<p>(\"Students cite slip in respect for teachers\", Joong Ang Daily, Seoul, May 14, 2003.)</p>\n<p>According to these studies and surveys, neither the majority of teachers, parents, nor students are against corporal punishment in school. In fact, an overwhelming majority are for it and see very little, if anything wrong with it, as long as it is meted out \"fairly.\" Fairly? Who\'s to say what\'s fair? Teachers? Students? The government? And what happens when a brave and courageous parent doesn\'t want their child beaten by a teacher? Does this brave and courageous parent get treated fairly? Not if you\'re Lim Ke-Sook. </p>\n<p>In a story by the Associated Press and printed in the New York Times on February 4, 1999 under the headline, \"South Korea Doesn\'t Spare the Rod\", Mrs Lim\'s 12 year old daughter Hee-Soon \"nearly lost the sight in her right eye after a science teacher threw a textbook at her.\" Mrs. Lim went to the authorities and had the teacher charged with battery. What happened to her and little Hee-Soon as a result of this?</p>\n<p>Hee-Soon\'s classmates threw rocks at her house, as well as \"overturned her school locker and refused to play with her. Then hundreds of parents and teachers signed a petition defending the teacher. The teacher did not mean to hurt young Hee-Soon, the petitioners told the prosecutor ---- only to discipline her.\"</p>\n<p>\" \'Educational motives\' drove him to throw the book at Hee-Soon to stop her from chatting with a classmate while he was handing out homework, the petition said.\"</p>\n<p>Corporal punishment remains prevalent in schools because the support for corporal punishment remains widespread in South Korea. From the same article in the New York Times:</p>\n<p>\"My teacher always carried a knobby bamboo root,\" says Lee Ki-myoung, a 33 year old father of two. \"Whenever we broke the rules, the stick would come out. It whistled through the air and it stung. He hit you if you were late, if you had a runny nose, if you pushed or shoved in line, if you couldn\'t add or subtract. Now I know he was right. He was a shepherd guiding 50, 60 wayward kids ALL BY HIMSELF.\" (Emphasis mine.) </p>\n<p>All by himself? Now here\'s a big part of the problem, especially in South Korea. Parents here send their kids to school not only expecting, but also demanding that teachers raise their children for them. It\'s not enough that teachers have to teach reading, math, and science. They also have to teach kids how to stand in line; how to wipe their runny nose; what clothes to wear; and the proper way to eat rice and vegetables. </p>\n<p>Excuse me, but isn\'t that the parents job? I can understand a 14 year old who has trouble adding and subtracting. But a 10, 12, or 14 year old who doesn\'t know how to properly stand in line, or wipe their nose, or eat their vegetables, or even how to flush a toilet? How did that happen? </p>\n<p>I\'ve always said that there is no such thing as bad kids, only bad parents. Or bad parenting. Of course that\'s a slight exaggeration. There is such a thing as bad kids. But let\'s put the blame exactly where it belongs. Bad kids are a result of bad parenting. Parents who have not taken their responsibility to raise bright, healthy, and well-adjusted children. </p>\n<p>For those who believe in the \"It takes a village\" philosophy, let me suggest that it is this strange and ridiculous concept that has led to the sheer lunacy that we now see in Korean schools and other schools across the globe. Teachers across the world are already overburdened and underpaid for the work that they do. Expecting them to raise other people\'s children on top of that may be the primary reason why corporal punishment is still as prevalent as it is. It doesn\'t take a village to raise a child. It takes a family; two loving and dedicated parents who are committed to properly raising the children that they themselves brought into this world. </p>\n<p>If a parent came to me as a teacher and said that it\'s okay to \"discipline\" their child, I would have a few choice words for that parent. \"Listen,\" I\'d begin. \"Need I remind you that this is YOUR child we\'re talking about. YOUR child did not pass through my loins. You were the one who helped to make that child, so you raise him. My job is to teach him, not raise him. If you do not want to raise your own child, the child that you brought into this world, then next time think twice before pulling down your pants and making a baby!\"</p>\n<p>Of course parents should always have the right to spank and discipline their children as they see fit, as long as the discipline does not turn into abuse. And I believe that just about all parents know the line between discipline and abuse. For the vast majority of us, it\'s a very clear and distinct line. But teachers should NEVER physically strike a student. Plain and simply, it\'s just not our role as educators. Nor should it ever be. Education and physical punishment just doesn\'t mix. </p>\n<p>Has the perception or the reality of corporal punishment in South Korean society changed in the seven years since the Hee-Soon Lim incident? Well, maybe. Let\'s look at an article published just last month in the Korea Times under the headline, \"Teachers Suffer Violence From Students, Parents.\" (May 24, 2006.) According to this news story, a Korean teacher at an elementary school recently instructed her students to \"eat lunch in only 15 minutes and hand in a written assignment if they did not follow the directions.\" For her \"crime\", this teacher was made to kneel in front of the students\' parents for what they considered \"educationally improper action.\" Other recent incidents from the same story include: </p>\n<p>---- A middle school student identified as \"Kim\" knocked down his teacher during homeroom and kicked her several times shouting, \"End the meeting quickly,\" when the class was held over. He then hit other students before running away.</p>\n<p>---- A newly hired art teacher was attacked by a middle school student during a test. The student destroyed art work and shouted at the teacher in Korean, \"How can a rookie make such a difficult test for students! It the teacher continues this, I will stamp on the art.\" </p>\n<p>According to the KFTA, there were 52 abusive incidents against teachers in 2005, up 30 percent from the 40 cases the previous year. There were 32 in 2003 and 12 in 2001. But the teacher\'s association says that the actual figure may be quite higher. It is also interesting that that the student to teacher incidents have been slowly but steadily rising at the same time that the new rules against teacher to student corporal punishment supposedly came into effect. Although there is no evidence that these student to teacher incidents are becoming an epidemic, it is strangely reminiscent of the madness that was Chairman Mao\'s cultural revolution where children and students joined the Red Guards, turned in their own parents for not towing the party line, beat their teachers, and forced them to wear dunce caps while publicly denouncing them by shouting propaganda slogans. While it is highly unlikely that this will happen here anytime soon, these kind of instincts must be kept in check for the sake of social stability, and the perpetuation of educational integrity and individual dignity. </p>\n<p>While I\'m sure that there are many people out there who will blame \"Western society, movies and music videos\" for this sudden change in behaviour, those who do so will have missed several points. First, there hasn\'t been a change in behaviour. Whether it\'s teachers hitting students or students hitting teachers, the behaviour is the same. It\'s brutal, barbaric, and uncivilized, and should not be tolerated on either side. Second, Korean society, as well as most Asian societies, are hierarchical in structure. And Korean society is still Confucian in many ways. That the young must listen to their elders and follow them blindly is a social given. \"You reap what you sow\" and \"What goes around, comes around\" may be familiar to us Westerners, but they are foreign notions to Koreans and other Asians. Yes, shit certainly rolls downhill. And when it comes to Korea and many other Asian nations, there are a lot of hills and a lot of shit. Third, let\'s look at this comment from Kim Ahn-jung, an education professor at Seoul National University: </p>\n<p>\"It is inevitable that teachers see their rights weakened due to the rapid changes in society. To restore the falling trust, teachers should improve their skills and competitiveness and strengthen their teaching leadership.\"</p>\n<p>On the surface, I agree. Of course teachers should improve their skills and competitiveness and strengthen their leadership. But then again, so should doctors and lawyers, and accountants, and pilots, and just about everyone else who has a job. Where Professor Kim goes wrong is that he ties this in with the current reality of students attacking teachers. His quote was from the same Korea Times story on May 24, 2006. If we accept the fact that it is just as bad and immoral for students to attack teachers as it is for teachers to attack students, then there is no connection between the improvement of a teachers skills and competitiveness and the frequency of teachers being attacked. Regardless of how poor the teacher\'s skills are, it neither justifies, nor does it ever excuse a student from attacking a teacher. </p>\n<p>Forth, what in the world were 10 parents doing forcing a teacher to kneel down in front of them? What were they thinking? The sheer humiliation of this seems far worse than any paddle across the buttocks. Remember what happened in 1999 to Lim Ki-Sook and her daughter Hee-Soon? Is going to the other extreme the answer? Do the elementary school students, who know of the humiliation their teacher faced, fully understand the consequences of this action? Doesn\'t public humiliation beget more public humiliation? Where will it end? Or will it ever end? A more appropriate \"punishment\" for this teacher would have been for the Principal to sit down with her in private and give her a warning. Odds are it would have worked and saved many people a whole lot of pain and embarrassment. </p>\n<p>And fifth, although Professor Kim\'s message of teachers improving their skills, competitiveness, and leadership is always a good idea, it seems to put the blame for these student to teacher incidents on the teachers themselves. It also puts a major part of the onus and responsibility for changing the situation squarely on the shoulders of teachers, relegating the parents to a secondary or tertiary position when it comes to teaching children right from wrong. To reiterate my position, I am not against parents disciplining their children as they deem fit. Bad parenting results in bad children. Parents, and parents alone, are responsible for the raising of their own children so that we as teachers can concentrate on what we do--- teach.</p>\n<p>In a column on corporal punishment for the Korea Times on August 17, 2005, Heather Fairclough-Lee, a Native New Zealander, writes, \"In New Zealand it is reported by confidential sources that the Korean kids are the least co-operative in class, the rudest and most unruly. The absence of corporal punishment must be like some sort of trip to Disneyland topped with a more relaxed approach to study.\"</p>\n<p>I know what she means. I\'ve been teaching in South Korea on and off for years. While working on this column in a neighbourhood internet cafe, I now have the \"pleasure\" of sitting next to a Korean \"gentleman\" who has spent most of his time here playing computer games, barking out orders to be served food, smoking, belching, spitting in the ashtray, and, on occasion, openly scratching his genitals. This is not the first time I\'ve been treated to such a show. This is a \"monkey see, monkey do\" society, and little monkeys only mimic what big monkeys do. </p>\n<p>Another aspect of corporal punishment is the unintended consequence of premature sexual behaviour, especially, what is referred to by Western mental health practitioners as \"deviant sexual behaviour.\" The internet as well as psychoanalytic journals are replete with articles and information on this subject, so I will not delve too deeply into it here. Suffice to say that just about all of the information out there on this subject comes to the conclusion that spanking a child--- especially on the buttocks with a wooden paddle--- can, and often does, lead to some form of sexual deviant behaviour in that child later in life. This is common sense as far as I\'m concerned. A shrink\'s office is full of people who were abused as children. </p>\n<p>I can\'t help but think back to those students who were whacked on the buttocks and boinked on the head with wooden paddles. There is something sick and perverted, in fact, brazenly perverted and kinky about a middle-aged man holding a wooden paddle standing behind a young teenage girl who is on all fours, her skirt slightly raised to reveal her white laced panties, while this middle-aged man swats her on her derriere. It says a lot about a society that allows this to happen. It says a lot about the person holding the paddle. In fact, it says much more about the person doing the whacking than it does about the person being whacked. Changing the middle-aged man for a middle-aged woman won\'t help. This kind of perversion permeates society like a plague, unable to differentiate between race, gender, or religion. </p>\n<p>Edward L Vockell, a professor of education at Purdue University, defines corporal punishment as the infliction of a physical reprimand in the hopes of stopping an undesirable behaviour. Sounds like a good definition. This is why the vast majority of people use corporal punishment; to stop undesirable behaviour. But in attempting to stop undesirable behaviour, are we inadvertently but clearly creating other undesirable behaviours that will be exhibited by the very same people that we are attempting to discipline? In other words, in attempting to discipline children through corporal punishment, are we simply helping to create more weirdos, sickos, and perverts who will seek their revenge on their own spouses and children? </p>\n<p>Korea, like many other societies and nations, has yet to come to terms with it\'s own violent behaviour. Indeed, the whole world seems not to have the slightest inkling of what to do with disruptive and unruly children other than beat them with sticks and other blunt instruments. This is obviously a huge problem the world over. What is needed are debates on this issue on both a national and international level. Dialogue, discussion, and debates are good things. They get everything out into the open where they belong so that we as people and as individual nations can not only come to terms with what is happening, but also come to a consensus about what should be done to solve this very serious problem. </p>\n<p>I currently teach in a public middle school where 40 boys and girls in a class is the norm. If students don\'t do their work or misbehave, I give them a warning. If they continue on this path, I sent them out of the room so that they can do their work in the hall. I don\'t hit the students, nor do I want to. But they must realize that they are in class to behave themselves, learn English, and have some fun in the process. When some of them don\'t do the work in class, I have been know to keep them after class so that they can continue with the work they didn\'t do. There are times when I feel terrible disciplining them this way. But for the sake of education and classroom harmony, this needs to be done. So far this seems to be working, and my Korean co-teachers are quite helpful in this regard. </p>\n<p>These seem to be viable alternatives to corporal punishment. When I went to school, we had detention. Keeping undisciplined students after school to do extra work is a much better form of punishment. This could be a problem in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and other places where most kids go to hagwons, bushibans, and other private schools in the late afternoon and early evening. To this, I say, too bad. If children misbehave or don\'t do the work assigned to them, keep them after school. Throw the ball back into the parent\'s court. Taking away the children\'s play time, (if there is children\'s play time), and other privileges is another alternative to corporal punishment. And just recently I saw a both a male and female student on their hands and knees washing the floors of the hallway with a small towel. This punishment, for misbehaving in class. </p>\n<p>These alternatives, and others, must be explored and practiced on a wide level if schools are to produce smart, intelligent, better behaved, and well-balanced students. It also must be practiced in conjunction with parents and the community at large. On this very important issue, everyone must be on the same page. I fear that as time goes on, the longer I stay in places like Korea, I will no longer cringe or wince at a child or a teenager being beaten or whacked by a large piece of wood. This would be truly unfortunate, because with each whack on the buttocks; with each boink on the head, we are steadily and surely losing our humanity and killing the future.</p>','','2006-06-01 00:04:39',1,'2006-06-01 00:04:39','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(98,4,'A Taiwan and Korea story continued','a-taiwan-and-korea-story-continued','Noble warriors and the culture of Irresponsibility','It has often been said that a lot of people--- whether it be Immigration officials, those who work in Embassies or Consulates, members of the business and academic community, and many everyday people--- don\'t want us in their country.

But after my experience in Mexico in February, and looking after my father for seven weeks since the death of my stepmother, Asia didn\'t seem so bad after all. So I began to correspond with schools in both Korea and Taiwan. They\'re both just a good--- or just as bad, depending on how you look at it. Since I wasn\'t completely sure of the visa process for Taiwan, I emailed the Taiwanese Embassy in Ottawa.<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Taipei Economic and Cultural Office<br />\nOttawa, Ontario.</p>\n<p>March 29, 2006.</p>\n<p>Hello:</p>\n<p>I have a dilemma that I would like to discuss with your office. I am a Canadian native English speaker and would like to teach English in Taiwan. I am well aware of the visa requirements and would like to do things legally, ethically, and properly in regards to going to Taiwan. I am currently at home in Montreal and have been corresponding with schools and recruiters in Taiwan about teaching positions there.</p>\n<p>I realize that I need a 60 day tourist visa to enter Taiwan for this purpose. But what I need and what I\'m requesting is a 60 day \"extendable\" visa. A non-extendable visa would probably be useless to me since it may take longer that 60 days find a suitable position, have the school apply for the work visa, and actually receive the work visa all within the 60 day period. Again, I want to do this legally and properly.</p>\n<p>If I apply for this visa, can I get it extendable? Of course I will apply with all of the proper documents and have either the school or the recruitment agency email or fax you a letter of sponsorship. Also, can you guarantee that a work visa will be granted within the 60 day period?</p>\n<p>I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing from you on this matter as soon as possible.</p>\n<p>Sincerely,</p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer.</p>\n<p>----------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>I received a prompt reply that same afternoon.<br />\n----------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Dear Steve,</p>\n<p>Thank you for your email and we greatly appreciate your honesty. However, please understand that we could not guarantee you that we will issue you a 60-day extendable visitor visa or you will get a work visa within 60 days.<br />\nForeign nationals who have entered Taiwan on other visas (like a visitor visa) and have filed application for resident visas should also apply for ARC\'s within 15 days after the issuance of resident visa. Please see the website at www.boca.gov.tw for more information.<br />\nThank you !!!!</p>\n<p>Services Division<br />\nTaipei Economic and Cultural Office, Canada<br />\n45 O\"Connor Street, Suite 1960<br />\nOttawa, ON K1P 1A4<br />\nTel: (613) 231-5080 x 239</p>\n<p>------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>A few days later, I wrote them back. Don\'t worry, I wasn\'t mean.<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Canada.<br />\nServices Division.</p>\n<p>April 3, 2006.</p>\n<p>Hello:</p>\n<p>Thank you for your reply and for your honesty as well. However, I do have some concerns and questions for your office and the Consular General. You did thank me for my honesty, and I do appreciate that. I am thinking about teaching English in Taiwan, and if I decide to, I would like to do this legally and ethically. I also realize that there are TEFL teachers teaching English in Taiwan without a proper work visa or an Alien Registration Card (ARC), and that is not only illegal, it is also wrong.</p>\n<p>Since I, and many other TEFL teachers, would prefer to work in your country by following the rule of law and ethics, why would your office not make it easier for us by granting an extendable 60 day tourist visa? I believe that any extension needed would be for no longer than 180 days. Is that correct? This extension would give us more than enough time to find a job at a reputable school and apply for and receive the work visa along with the ARC.</p>\n<p>May I say that we TEFL teachers are not asking for any special privileges. We just need enough time to ensure that all of our legal documents will be in place within a specific amount of time. If your office can tell me that once in Taiwan with a 60 day non-extendable visa, I can be granted a work visa either within the 60 day period, or that an exception can be made to allow potential teachers to remain in Taiwan once the 60 day period expires so that the process can be completed, then I, and many other qualified and dedicated teachers would not hesitate to come to Taiwan. This way, the teacher doesn\'t have to leave Taiwan and risk not being allowed to return. Don\'t you want TEFL teachers to experience and live in Taiwan.?</p>\n<p>My suggestion is that we TEFL teachers work with the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office. In working together, we all succeed. Please keep in mind that we TEFL teachers are coming to Taiwan to help the Taiwanese succeed and have a better future as well as to learn about Chinese culture. If your office helps us TEFL teachers succeed, then we, in turn, can help the students in Taiwan succeed.</p>\n<p>Please reconsider your decision so that in helping us, we can continue to help you.</p>\n<p>Sincerely,</p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer.<br />\n------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office didn\'t reply to that letter. I wasn\'t surprised, but I was hoping for a positive response. The one and only time I did teach in Taiwan, I did receive my work visa within the 60 day period, but I have known and have met others who, unfortunately, didn\'t. They had to fly to Hong Kong at their own expense and apply for another tourist visa. Some received it, while others didn\'t. Taiwan is small, some of them were told. And you can see everything you want in 60 days. </p>\n<p>While this can happen anywhere and to anyone from any walk of life is true. But it does cause a lot of problems for us teachers and can leave us in a terrible bind while overseas. Except for writing letters to the people in charge and letting them know how we feel, I\'m not sure what the answer is. And from my recent experience with some of these people, that doesn\'t seem to work either. </p>\n<p>I am now teaching at a public middle-school in Busan, Korea. But getting the E-2 work visa from the Korean Consulate in Montreal was pure hell. If you\'ve read my very long July, 2005 column, then you know about my \"midnight run\" from that horrible hagwon on Jeju-do. That came up on the computer at the Consulate. That was fine, because I wasn\'t trying to hide it. Anyway, I received a call at home in Montreal from Irene Song at the Korean Consulate. It was a Thursday, a day before Good Friday. The Consulate wanted more information about what happened at the horrible hagwon in 2003. I told her. I was also scheduled to leave for Korea the following Friday, in just eight days. The recruiting agency in Busan called the Consulate in Montreal to tell them that I was to start teaching on Monday, April 24th so I would need the visa as soon as possible. Since the Consulate was closed for Good Friday and Easter Monday, I would have only four days to get it. </p>\n<p>But Irene Song had something else to say to me on that Thursday. \"I\'m not sure if you will be able to get the work visa for Korea. It depends on whether the hagwon owner reported you to immigration. If he did, then you cannot go back to Korea. We have to check with the Ministry of Justice. Call us back on Tuesday.\"</p>\n<p>So I waited. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. Monday. I knew I was right. I had committed no crime. I just left an extremely horrible situation like thousands of other teachers have done over the years. The Ministry of Justice? I know in Korea that\'s connected to the Immigration Department. But the Ministry of Justice? Isn\'t that a bit extreme? So I called Irene Song back on Tuesday morning. She said that the Consular General had my passport and he will make a decision today, and that I should call her back this afternoon. She still hadn\'t heard anything from the Ministry of Justice. \"Even if we give you the visa\", she said, \"We still don\'t know if you will be allowed into Korea. That is up to Immigration.\"</p>\n<p>So I left my father\'s condo, hopped on a bus, and went downtown. I wanted to speak to the Consular General in person. After all, there are two sides to every story. Maybe if we met face-to-face, he would see that I\'m not such a bad guy after all. </p>\n<p>When I walked into the Consulate, I saw Irene Song behind the counter. I requested an interview with the Consular General. \"It\'s okay\", she said. \"He gave you the visa.\" I was relieved. After all, for five days I felt like a criminal. \"But maybe you will be stopped at the airport\", she warned. \"Good luck.\" I\'ll take my chances, I thought. I also took my passport and left.</p>\n<p>By the way, I did get through airport Immigration with no problem. I really didn\'t think there would be a problem. But was all that really necessary? Is it really necessary to scare teachers like this? Was it really necessary for these people to be so unhelpful and not to take an active interest in the immediate concerns of TEFL teachers, especially when we are going to their countries to be helpful and to take an active interest in the lives of the students? </p>\n<p>It has often been said that a lot of people--- whether it be Immigration officials, those who work in Embassies or Consulates, members of the business and academic community, and many everyday people--- don\'t want us in their country. Some want to learn English. Many need to learn English. And most parents want their kids to learn English. But many people don\'t want us here--- whether in Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, and many other countries. I\'m not trying to be too negative here. I know that there are many people who are happy that we\'re here. I have met some of them and I\'m sure you have as well.</p>\n<p>It\'s also been said that if there is a problem with Immigration, a bottle of whiskey can go a long way in solving the problem. This may be true, and especially true in many parts of Asia. Knowing some powerful people does go a long way in this part of the world. But in my opinion, this kind of behavior has no place in the TEFL world. There is no substitute for doing the right thing. There is also no substitute for doing things the right way. This is not a West versus East thing. Doing things right and doing the right thing are universal codes of conduct. Our lives can and should be made at least a bit easier by Embassies, Consulates, and Immigration officials. We are not just noble warriors fighting the good fight. We are also foreign investors, investing our time, knowledge, energy, and passion to help others. </p>\n<p>One solution is to co-ordinate all government departments so a country like Korea can know more about each person that\'s coming in. It took me seven weeks to get this job at a public middle school, and during the whole application process not one person went to the Immigration Department to check me out. I sent my documents to the recruiter. The recruiter sent my documents to the Provincial Office of Education for the visa issuance letter. The POE then sent the letter back to the recruiter, who then sent it to me via DHL. I then took the visa issuance letter to the Korean Consulate to receive my E-2 work visa. But neither the recruiter nor the POE attempted to contact Immigration in Korea to see if I could come back here to begin with! This is why I had so much trouble with Irene Song. </p>\n<p>Again, I wish I had the answers to all this, but I don\'t. So I\'m relying on all of you out there to help me out. We may not be able to solve all the problems in the TEFL world. But by working together, we can solve some of them. One at a time.</p>\n<p>By the way, there is a great website that pertains to the rights and responsibilities of both teachers and employers.

This is about all of us, including me.) </p>\n<p>At the beginning of March, I applied for a teaching position at a public middle school in Korea. The ad on Dave\'s ESL Cafe sounded fantastic. Since the school was situated in a rural area and they had trouble finding a native speaker, they promised a four day work week and ten weeks paid vacation along with the usual perks for Korea--- a rent free apartment, paid airfare, and one month severance pay at the end of the contract. </p>\n<p>After a few days I received a phone call from a Korean teacher at the school saying that the Principal had chosen me after viewing my resume. I was honored. It would be the first time that this school would have a native English speaking teacher, and I was looking forward to meeting the students and doing my best to have them fall in love with learning English. </p>\n<p>They sent me the government contract through email signed by the Principal on March 8, 2006. I printed it out and signed it as well. I spent the next week getting all my documents together: Certifying my university degree with a notary, taking it to the Korean Consulate for verification, getting official sealed transcripts from my university, all the time keeping in contact through email with the school. Then it was time to FEDEX it to Korea to ensure the work visa before leaving. I realized that I didn\'t have the school\'s postal code. I emailed them to ask for it.</p>\n<p>One day passed. I emailed them again. Two days passed. I emailed them again. Three days passed. On the third day I received this email from the Korean teacher:<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />\n\"Dear Steve:</p>\n<p>Yes it is true. I am sorry but the Principal decide to hire another teacher. He just come yesterday. I am sorry.\"</p>\n<p>Chung.<br />\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>(Oh well, that\'s life. Next!)</p>\n<p>This time I decided to go with a recruiter. Why? Who knows. Since the public school year had already started, this recruiter wanted me to just come on down to Korea without first securing an apartment or the work visa. I told her that that was impossible. I told her what had just happened with the other middle school and that I had three conditions:</p>\n<p>1) That an apartment be secured;<br />\n2) That the E-2 work visa be secured;<br />\n3) That a one-way prepaid airline ticket be reserved for me prior to my leaving Montreal.</p>\n<p>All reasonable conditions since that is what schools in Korea promise an EFL teacher anyway. The recruiter wrote back giving me the email address of Mrs. Park Jeong-Sook, one of the Supervisors of the Secondary Educational Division in charge of hiring native English teachers for Chungcheongnam province. I wrote to Mrs. Park, told her what happened, and reiterated my conditions. What follows is her response.<br />\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"Hello Steve,<br />\nAt first I have not known what happened to you and between a certain school in Dangjin. We\'re not reported individual school hiring Native Teachers. I am only responsible for the hiring NT\'s (native teachers) by Governor of CNOE (Changnam Office of Education.) Therefore its authority is quite different from individual recruiting.<br />\nAnyway, the NT\'s are placed in a middle school in a rural district office among 15s. And 2--3 visiting school to give as many chances possible to the students in that area. But the specific name of the schools is determined by the district office of Edu.<br />\nSecondly, Now we are doing like this for E-2 visa. The NT\'s come first with multiple visa then change the visa into E-2 visa. The process are going successfully with no problem, as long as the NT prepare graduate diploma and transcript enveloped. Then the other documents are prepared by CNOE officers.<br />\nThirdly, the airfare will of course be reimbursed by contract.<br />\nAs for me, some NT\'s are constantly asking one thing or another and after all send e-mail not to come. In that case, My explanation will be a thing in vain, just wasting time. Hurry to make a final decision as soon as possible. we are asking some recruiters for NT\'s and will compensate the position by the principle \"first come, first served.\"<br />\nRefer to the final contract revised lately.\"</p>\n<p>Mrs. Park.<br />\nMarch 20, 2006.<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>(What follows is my response.)</p>\n<p>March 22, 2006.</p>\n<p>\"Hello Mrs. Park. Thank you for your reply. I realize that as a government employee for the Provincial Education Office of Chungcheongnam you are very busy. So taking the time to correspond with a native English teacher is something I appreciate. Having said that, I feel compelled to respond to a few of your comments in your last letter to me.</p>\n<p>I understand the CNOE\'s way of doing things. I may not agree with it, but I understand it. Korea is short quality and dedicated native English teachers , and for the sake of expediency, the Korean government and greedy business people who own private language institutes, are attempting to bypass the law and just about all notions of human ethics in an attempt to hire English teachers from English speaking countries. In a situation like this, is it any wonder that Korea is short quality and dedicated native English teachers?</p>\n<p>So you are aware of what recently happened to me regarding this middle school in Dangjin. That\'s good. I also realize that you are in charge of ONLY your particular department run by the governor of CNOE, and that you and your department cannot be responsible for what happened. May I ask, who is responsible? Who in the Korean government is prepared to take responsibility for this and the hundreds of other cases where foreign English teachers are not being treated fairly? Do you agree that someone in the Ministry of Education must be held accountable? Will you send me the email addresses of someone in the Ministry who I can write to about this?</p>\n<p>For the record, I have no doubt that the benefits of the employment contract--- apartment, airfare, etc., will be met. Just imagine what would happen if they weren\'t! But I am concerned about some of your comments and your department\'s attitude towards this whole process of hiring native English teachers. From your letter: </p>\n<p>\'As for me, some NT\'s are constantly asking one thing or another and after all send email not to come. In that case, My explanation will be a thing in vain. just wasting time.\'</p>\n<p>Are you kidding me? Is it surprising to you that we NT\'s have questions? Are you surprised that we have concerns? After all, many NT\'s in Korea are young, far away from home, living in a strange place among people with different customs, and thousands of dollars in debt due to student loans. They have read most of the horror stories about hagwans on Dave\'s ESL Cafe, and are scared to death about being cheated, humiliated, and even attacked by those who may want to hurt them. And you have the gall to say that we are wasting your time by \'constantly asking one thing or another.\'</p>\n<p>It is a very important part of your job to help NT\'s. It is an important part of your job to protect NT\'s. It is an important part of your job to answer any questions we many have; to address our concerns; to allay our fears. We rely on you and your office to do that, and more. Addressing our concerns and allaying our fears is a great opportunity for you and your office to move this whole process forward and improve the educational system that you represent. Again, from your letter:</p>\n<p>\'We are asking some recruiters for NT\'s and will compensate the position by the principle first come, first served.\'</p>\n<p>Again, are you kidding me? \"First come, first served?\" What in the world are you helping to run, an educational system or a Chinese restaurant? Do you and your office really expect NT\'s, many of which are young and already in debt, to spend over one thousand U.S. dollars to come to Korea on a first come, first served basis WITHOUT first taking responsibility for securing their work visa? </p>\n<p>We are qualified, dedicated, and committed EFL teachers taking a huge step in coming to Korea. We are coming to your country to do a job and to help people have a better future. There are many opportunities for NT\'s to teach in Korean public schools. First come, first served doesn\'t apply here. It\'s a school we\'re talking about, not a Chinese buffet!</p>\n<p>Why don\'t we replace \"first come, first served\" with \"be responsible, act responsibly?\" Now imagine how much better the educational system would be if we did that.</p>\n<p>\'Hurry to make a final decision and send your decision as soon as possible\' is fine so long as the process of recruiting teachers is done legally, ethically, responsibly, properly, and fairly. The whole process of recruiting a teacher properly--- from first email, to preparing and sending the appropriate documents, to sending the documents, to securing a work visa and reserving the airplane ticket usually takes no more than four or five weeks. Are you and your office saying that you can\'t wait four weeks to recruit a teacher properly and ethically? If this is the case, no wonder that NT\'s have lost faith and confidence in your system and way of doing things.</p>\n<p>Again, Mrs. Park, I thank you for corresponding with me, a native English teacher who is just trying to make a positive difference in the lives of my students. This is a learning experience for all of us--- teachers, students, and administrators alike. So why not take the time and do things the right way? We NT\'s can\'t do this alone. We need the help and cooperation of everyone, from you and your office, the parents of our students, and even the politicians in the Blue House.</p>\n<p>Our students are relying on all of us for that.</p>\n<p>Until then, I remain,\"</p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer.<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p>\n<p>And these are the good schools! These are public schools. I\'m all for higher standards in the TEFL industry. I\'m all for checking people out to make sure that the teacher\'s qualifications and experiences are real and legitimate. But there are some very important questions that need to be asked and answered. </p>\n<p>Must we put up with these unethical, irresponsible, and incompetent boobs? Must we noble warriors of the TEFL industry put up with this irresponsibility? Is it unreasonable for us noble warriors to expect of these people that they bring dignity and integrity to the recruiting and hiring process? Who is holding these people responsible for their reprehensible behavior? Who is holding these people accountable for their actions, or lack of action? And how can we dedicated and qualified TEFL teachers justify going to a country like South Korea when, even after all these years, the situation seems to have not improved one iota? </p>\n<p>With Principals who can\'t keep a promise and government employees in the Provincial Ministry of Education who refuse to take any responsibility for the failures of their own recruiting process, this industry seems to be getting worse with each passing day. Us noble warriors are being dragged down to the level of these irresponsible and incompetent fools who seem to have not the slightest inkling of how to properly recruit native English teachers. While the standards, expectations, and demands of TEFL teachers by many employers are increasing all over the TEFL world, there seems to be very little reciprocity on the part of those making the demands.</p>\n<p>No doubt that it\'s high time that this industry clean up its act. Checking references, background checks, and expecting TEFL teachers to behave professionally on and off the job is certainly not too much to ask. But perhaps my mistake was thinking that the public school system is somehow better than private language schools. That they are somehow more professional and responsible. But in this case I seem to have forgotten a very essential fact. A Korean is a Korean is a Korean. Regardless of whether they work in the public school system or a private language school, they were all raised in the same society. The problem is not that people are failing within their system; it\'s that their system is failing people.</p>\n<p>Judging by what has happened in the last month, reforming their system so that it will conform to universal values such as the adherence to the rule of law and treating those who are coming to their country to perform a valuable service with the dignity and respect that they deserve, seems a very long way off indeed. If these reforms by Koreans themselves are not forthcoming then the educational system, and all those working within it, are doomed to fail. </p>\n<p>As I write, I\'m corresponding and negotiating with another public middle school through a recruiter in the Southern Korean city of Busan. We\'ll see how that turns out. </p>\n<p>I said at the outset that this column and my experiences this past month is not about me. And it isn\'t. It\'s about all of us, including me. I believe that just about all of us noble warriors would like to look back on our overseas teaching experiences with pride and come to the conclusion that we did well. I don\'t know anyone of us who wants to look back at their experiences in anger and disappointment and conclude that they failed. </p>\n<p>Becoming TEFL certified, acting in a professional and responsible manner, and rightfully demanding of the Koreans the very same things they are finally beginning to demand in us is a good place for us to start. Adhering to the rule of law, and acting in an ethical, professional, respectful, and responsible manner towards us TEFL teachers is a good place for Koreans to start. Like I told Mrs. Park in my letter to her, our students are relying on all of us for that.</p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer, esl_steve@excite.com<br />\nApril 1, 2006.</p>\n<p>For those who want to email either Mr. Shin, the Principal, or Mrs. Park mentioned in this column to let them know how you feel, then by all means, go ahead.

I\'m also mourning the cancer that has pervaded this business--- the cancer of hate, the cancer of politics, the cancer of mistrust. Over the years I have asked myself, how low can this TEFL industry go? How low can language school directors sink? Well, I think I just found out.','<p>My father\'s emails to me while I\'ve been overseas have always been short and sweet. I\'ve grown used to that. But his last one was different. His last one had all the subtlety and sweetness of a sledgehammer across the head. It read,</p>\n<p>\"hi steve.......... i\'m sorry to say........... sandra died today.......... she was suffering at the end but she\'s not anymore......... I love you......<br />\npapa.\"</p>\n<p>That\'s all it said. I was at an Internet cafe in San Juan del Rio, Mexico, a beautiful colonial town in Queretaro State. I thought I\'d set up shop there and try to find my next teaching job. Mexico City was way too big, and, after a year and a half in Bangkok, I was looking for a smaller and more charming place. And I had thought I\'d found it. </p>\n<p>If you recall from my last column in February, Sandra was my stepmother. She was suffering from lung cancer and a brain tumor. She was married to my father for just over three months, but they had known each other for 20 years. I left the Internet cafe and began to walk over to see a few of the teachers that I had gotten to know over the last week. Before I got there, I knelt down just a few meters from their house and began to cry. Pulling myself together moments later, I went into their house and explained what happened. </p>\n<p>I then called my family. It was Monday afternoon. They had just returned from the funeral. Sandra had died on Saturday. The Internet cafe that I usually go to on Sunday was closed. I offered to come back home, even though I had missed the funeral. My father and both my sisters told me to stay in Mexico and look for a job. So I tried for about a week. But it\'s no use. My heart just isn\'t in it. So I will be going home again on March 4th. </p>\n<p>What does this have to do with how low language school directors can go? About a week before Sandra died, I applied for a teaching position with Global International Institute run by a Canadian woman named Laurie Roberts and her Mexican husband, Mario. After four days of observing classes, and teaching two classes of my own, (for no money), Laurie decided that she didn\'t want to hire me. There weren\'t enough hours for any of the teachers, and, by then, I had decided that her school wasn\'t for me as well. Fair enough. That\'s life. And that\'s the EFL business. We\'ve all grown used to that.</p>\n<p>Now, here\'s the problem: Three days after Sandra died, just one day after my family buried her, Laurie Roberts wanted to see me. A few days before, I had expressed my interest in living in the teacher\'s house, which Laurie and Mario had co-signed since foreigners here in Mexico cannot be sole tenants of a house. These teachers had a computer, which was constantly hooked up to MSN Messenger and other Internet call services. Since I have no such thing, the teachers agreed to allow me to live in their house so that I could be in constant contact with my grieving family. I kept having to run from Internet cafe to Internet cafe in the hopes that their computers worked, which they sometimes didn\'t. Without this constant hook up to the Internet, it was very frustrating and angering.</p>\n<p>Just one day after my father buried his wife, just one day after my sisters buried our stepmother, Laurie and her husband told me that I could not move into the teacher\'s house because \"The house is reserved for our teachers.\" You don\'t understand, they kept telling me.<br />\n\"Since you are not working for us, we cannot allow you to live in our house.\" And we weren\'t talking permanently. Just a week or two so that I can be in constant contact with my grieving family would have been fine. Then I\'ll move on. There were two other empty rooms and the other teachers that they were planning on hiring were not scheduled to be in town until April. So there was plenty of room and plenty of time.</p>\n<p>To say that Laurie and Mario\'s behavior on this issue was insensitive is a huge understatement. This is not about teaching anymore. It\'s not about managing a school anymore. It\'s not even about teacher/management relations--- or whatever is left of it. It\'s not about school bashing. It\'s about common human decency. It\'s about being ethical and moral. It\'s about putting differences aside--- at least temporarily--- and saying to a teacher--- any teacher, not just the ones that work for your school--- \"Hey, I\'m sorry about your loss. Even though we don\'t work together, stay in my house for a week or two and talk to your family. Make sure they\'re okay.\" (They did, however, find me a cheap place to stay while I was in town.)</p>\n<p>Is that so difficult to do for many language school directors? Do many of them hate and mistrust teachers so much that they would deny a teacher--- any teacher--- a week or two so that he or she can get back on their feet after the loss of a family member? This wasn\'t just a cruel business decision. It was human nature at its very worst. We all have choices to make. Choices that will make or break us. Choices that, when we look back, will either be among the best we\'ve ever made, or among the worst. language school directors can choose to treat teachers like crap, commodities, or human beings. It\'s their choice. But when they choose not to treat teachers like human beings, we all lose. I\'ve been saying this for years.</p>\n<p>I\'m not only mourning my stepmother who lost her battle with cancer. I\'m also mourning the cancer that has pervaded this business--- the cancer of hate, the cancer of politics, the cancer of mistrust. Over the years I have asked myself, how low can this TEFL industry go? How low can language school directors sink? Well, I think I just found out. And it\'s sad. It\'s very sad and tragic because the teachers and our students deserve more. We all deserve better.</p>\n<p>I know there are two sides to every story. Sometimes there are three or four. I will leave Laurie Roberts\'s email address at the end of this column so that you can get her side of the story. Apparently, I\'m not the only teacher who\'s had a problem with her.</p>\n<p>Being home with my family is where I need to be right now. Then, when the time is right, I\'ll choose another place to go to teach. I\'ve loved most of the students I\'ve ever had. I miss them. I continue to cherish the friendships that I\'ve made with other teachers over the years. I miss them too. And I\'ve even known a few pretty nice language school managers and directors. I\'ve learned a lot from some of them. But this experience has shook me to the core. How can I, or any other teacher, trust language school directors and managers who show extremely little sympathy and compassion for a teacher who just lost a loved one to lung cancer? </p>\n<p>I can understand the business end of EFL, even though I hate it. I understand that sometimes teachers don\'t work out at a certain school. I can understand the uncertain relationship between a Western teacher and a non-Western director. I understand that many of us get ripped off money and hours. I understand that\'s it\'s far easier to lie to a teacher over the Internet than it is to lie to him face to face.</p>\n<p>I understand all of that. That\'s business. But what I can\'t understand, what I\'m not smart enough to comprehend, is how a human being, a fellow Canadian, can show almost no sympathy and compassion to a fellow teacher who had just lost a loved one. </p>\n<p>The uncertainties of living and working overseas leaves open the tempting possibilities of language school directors to take advantage of teachers who, for reasons beyond their control, find themselves in extremely vulnerable situations, such as a death in the teacher\'s family. These same uncertainties of life also offer language school directors a wonderful opportunity. The opportunity to befriend their teachers; the opportunity to understand us, to get to know us, to support us, to appreciate our efforts, and to learn from us just as we have learned from them.</p>\n<p>Many language school directors love to use the buzz phrase \"reflective teaching.\" Here was a perfect opportunity for Laurie and Mario to use some \"reflective directing.\" Here\'s a perfect opportunity for all language school directors and managers to reflect upon how they see and treat their teachers.</p>\n<p>I have spent the last week feeling many different emotions: Anger, rage, pain, sorrow, disappointment, and guilt. Anger and rage directed at language school directors who don\'t give a damn about teachers; pain and sorrow for my grieving family; and disappointment and guilt for myself. Disappointment because I feel powerless to do something--- anything right now. And guilt because I could not get home sooner. Here\'s a perfect opportunity for language school directors to understand what we EFL teachers sometimes go through.</p>\n<p>So I must go home now, or else I\'ll never forgive myself. Families must be together at a time like this. This is not a time for teaching and managing. It\'s a time for support and healing. It\'s a time for understanding and forgiveness. It\'s a time for reflection and introspection. It\'s a time to think and rethink. And it\'s time--- just to take time.</p>\n<p>I\'m looking forward to hugging my family and letting them know that I will be there for them in these difficult times. And one day I\'ll be looking forward to being in the classroom once again.<br />\nBut embracing this business and this industry is getting harder and harder. Language school directors must understand this. They may not be willing or ready to accept this, but they must understand it. </p>\n<p>Laurie Roberts\'s email address: laurie_global@yahoo.ca </p>','','2006-03-01 00:43:16',1,'2006-03-01 00:43:16','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(101,4,'Coming home','coming-home','It just ain\'t what it used to be','I remember what I told my family and friends before I left for Korea to teach English for the first time in the spring of 1997.

(Quoted from \"The Art of Travel\", by Alain De Botton.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>I like to eat breakfast at McDonald\'s while I\'m home. It\'s only one of my terrible habits. While eating my egg mc muffin and sipping my coffee one morning, a woman stood out over all others. Also eating an egg mc muffin and sipping her coffee, she sits at the edge of the chair still wearing her winter coat as if she can\'t wait to leave. She\'s thin, (rare for a Canadian), and her long golden hair and soft facial features betrays the inner toughness I\'m sure she possesses. She\'s pretty. Very pretty. And I can\'t stand looking at her. Not because I don\'t like looking a pretty women. I do. But her beauty and graceful presence, even in a place like McDonald\'s, is a continual reminder of what a pathetic loser I am. I have seen her many times in the few weeks I\'ve been here and I don\'t even know her name. I\'m sure it\'s a beautiful name. A name that perfectly matches her appearance. Like Jennifer, or Caroline, or Phoebe, or Samantha. Even with all that beauty and grace and elegance, she is way out of my league and a constant reminder of why I don\'t like coming home. She personifies everything people tell me I\'m missing. </p>\n<p>I remember what I told my family and friends before I left for Korea to teach English for the first time in the spring of 1997. I remember telling them about my biggest fear: To end up like everybody else. I didn\'t want to end up like everybody else. And what is everybody else? Well, I guess it\'s having a nagging spouse, spoiled rotten children with their iPods and cell phones, a mortgage and a car I can\'t afford, dental bills, and.... well, you know, the white picket fence and all that. I chose, in the words of the poet, the road less travelled. And although there\'s been some regrets, although, at times, the road has bumps and potholes, looking back, it\'s been pretty good to me. </p>\n<p>Call me selfish, but I still don\'t want to end up like everybody else. I\'m constantly fighting against that. But now, I\'m not sure who\'s winning. It was easy almost nine years ago. I was naive and stayed close to home. I enjoyed my books and CD\'s and cable television. I still do. Except for the occasional cold and bout with the flu, I was healthy back then. I didn\'t know much about the world. I still don\'t. But I did know what I didn\'t want.</p>\n<p>It\'s now almost nine years later. For those who read my columns, you already know that my mother has multiple sclerosis. She\'s still in a nursing home confined to a wheelchair. My father pops pills for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and probably other things I\'m not aware of. And as I write, my stepmother is battling lung cancer, and I\'m limping around my father\'s apartment with a bad case of the gout which I inherited from my father. Hardly stellar material to include in the corpus of success literature. The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffectual People. I wrote the book on that.</p>\n<p>So who\'s winning now? I\'m not so sure anymore. But one thing I do know. I must continue. We EFL teachers must continue. Bad health and bad family genes aside, those who can make a difference, must make a difference. It\'s like wherever I\'ve gone in the six weeks I\'ve been home, I\'ve been surrounded by illness, disease, and death. A typical conversation with my 71 year old father goes something like this. </p>\n<p>Dad: Did you know that last year your cousin Robert had a heart attack?<br />\nMe: No.<br />\nDad: He was 40 years old. And a marathon runner. (An uncomfortable pause.) So don\'t you think you should stop eating at McDonald\'s?<br />\nMe: I guess so.<br />\nDad: And a good friend of mine had his leg amputated. I don\'t think you\'ve ever met him. But don\'t you think you should lose 20 pounds?<br />\nMe: That would be nice.<br />\nDad: And your uncle wears a pacemaker. He use to run five times a week. Don\'t you think you should get more exercise?<br />\nMe: Ah huh.<br />\nDad: And.........</p>\n<p>on and on and on. So we must continue to make a difference before life decides to squash us like a bug. And squash us like a bug, it will. And not only will life squash us like a bug, it will squash just about all of us long before our time. Long before we\'re ready to be useless. This is why we must continue.</p>\n<p>So I come home, stay for a few weeks, and leave again. I can\'t stand to see what I\'m missing. And I don\'t want to stay long enough to really find out because I get the feeling that not so deep down inside, I really do know. And how can I live with the reality of what I think I\'m missing? I hear the voices of family behind me, the pleas and echos of familiar messages: \"Stay here, you\'re home now. Settle down. Get married. Find a job here. Save money.\" And on and on.</p>\n<p>My fear of ending up like everybody else aside, here\'s the real message: In staying at home and settling down and getting married and finding a job here and trying to save money, I may be able to make a difference in one or two people\'s lives if I\'m lucky and if I try really, really hard. In teaching English overseas, we step into the classroom, look into the eyes of all of our students, and, if we\'re lucky and if we try really really hard, we can make a difference in dozens, maybe hundreds of people\'s lives. And sometimes, we don\'t even have to try that hard. EFL teachers who are given the freedom to be themselves seem to make other people\'s lives better without breaking into a sweat. </p>\n<p>It\'s often been said that education is a lot more about the future than it is about the past or the present. Learn about the past and use the present to equip students for the future. One of the most important things we can do for our students is to look into their eyes and see only the future. This isn\'t easy, but it\'s worthwhile. In seeing only, (or mostly), the future, we see their potential. We see what they can do, not only what they have done. The past and present everyday situations may have touched our students in both good and bad ways, we as EFL teachers can help our students touch the future and they in turn can help us. This is how we make a difference in many people\'s lives. And this is how many people can make a difference in ours.</p>\n<p>This job satisfaction is not something we can receive working at McDonald\'s or Walmart. I\'ve never heard anyone thank the manager of McDonald\'s for a two for one coupon. I\'ve never heard a customer say, \"Thank you Sam Walton for the great prices on underwear at your superstore.\" But many teachers, including myself, have been thanked by our students. We see the smiles on their faces. We hear their laughter. We see the results. And we feel good. We have made a difference.</p>\n<p>I remember speaking with one of the managers at my last school a while ago. I wanted to transfer to another branch and was told to hold off for a while because he didn\'t want to see the problems I was having follow me to another branch. Fair enough, and I understood why he said it. I understood because having problems, whatever they are, is all too human. But I\'m afraid the managers didn\'t understand because they were far too busy trying to separate the \"all too human\" from the teaching experience. And that\'s far more dangerous.</p>\n<p>We are not only teachers with textbooks and board markers. We\'re also teachers with troubles and problems and uncertainties. We\'re human. All too human. We bring to class not only our knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, but also everything our parents ever taught us, or not taught us. </p>\n<p>I\'ve been known to step into class with determination. There are times when I also step into class with a cold; a sore throat; a stomachache; a backache; a headache; diarrhea; the flu; the gout; and, my personal favorite, constipation. And those are just my physical ailments! Don\'t get me started on my mental problems! It\'s tough enough being upbeat in class while running to the toilet doing the Bangkok boogie, the Mexican mambo, or the Chinese cha-cha. We EFL\'ers get angry too sometimes. I know we shouldn\'t, but sometimes life\'s circumstances do that to us. Our parents piss us off; We have an insipid conversation with our father that makes a Seinfeld episode sound absolutely profound; Our girlfriend tells us to go to hell. Our puppy pees on rug; Our cat pukes on the floor; Or we simply miss the bus on the way to school. </p>\n<p>Somehow language school managers and directors have forgotten this essential connection between the everyday lives of the teachers and students, and what is learned and taught in the classroom. Hell, don\'t language school managers and directors experience the same problems and pitfalls of everyday life that the teachers and students do? While I agree that these problems should be kept out of the classroom as much as possible, sometimes some of them are bound to seep in. We are human after all. </p>\n<p>So as I get ready to go to Mexico for my next teaching gig, something is happening in my life. It\'s not like nine years ago when I was terrified that I would remain at home and end up like everybody else. Something else is now chasing me away. Something important and perhaps not so different. At least not as different as I would like it to be. </p>\n<p>As I look around at what was once my home, as I walk around in what use to be the city in which I lived, I am surrounded by all the things that could have been. The house that I could have lived in; the job that I could have had; the friends I could have drank with; the woman I could have made love to. It might not have been be much, but it could have been. Ending up like everybody else doesn\'t seem as terrifying anymore. </p>\n<p>But when I think about flying to faraway places, when I walk around Bangkok or Mexico City or any place else the needs EFL teachers, when I step into the classroom and see 10 or 15 uncertain and hopeful faces looking back at me, I am surrounded by all the things that can be. The cozy apartment I could live in; the teaching job that gives others hope for the future; my fellow teachers I can drink with; and the woman. Isn\'t there always a woman? For some people, this may not be much. But it could be.</p>\n<p>Home may be where the heart is. And it may be the place where we hang our hat. But for me, it\'s a place that holds too many memories. Too many \"what could have beens.\" It\'s far easier to go to a place where you have no memories than to return to one where you have too many. </p>\n<p>So I\'m off again to another country. Before I get a heart attack or a stroke. Before I need a pacemaker or Viagra. Before I get really sick or need my leg amputated. Before I\'m so bent over, my belt buckle is saying hello to my nose hair. I now realize that one day I may end up like everybody else--- in a wheelchair waiting for spaghetti and meatball night at the Old Folks Saloon. </p>\n<p>But until then, there\'s work to do. And English to teach. Until then there is the endless potential in the hearts of our students; Until then, there are unlimited possibilities. Until then, there is--- what could be. Ah, what could be.</p>','','2006-02-01 00:56:06',1,'2006-02-01 00:56:06','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(102,4,'Teachers and learners as one','teachers-and-learners-as-one','towards a new theology of TEFL','What if God was in our classrooms observing our teaching?

','<blockquote><p>\"Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.\"</p>\n<p>----- Madeline Bridges.</p></blockquote>\n<p>It wasn\'t a very good class. Not many of them are in Korea. But one student stood out, and, occasionally, I still think about him. He was in his 50\'s at the time, a child of the Korean war, who, with his six year old brother, crossed the Bridge of No Return in 1950 into South Korea never to see his parents again. He called himself \"Peter\", after the Biblical Apostle. A born again Christian, he spent a lot of time in class trying to convert the teachers and get them to go to church with him. Being Jewish, I wasn\'t too crazy about his method of communication, but I did have dinner with him on occasion and met his family.</p>\n<p>For those who have taught TEFL in Korea, most of the adult students are not necessarily a stimulating bunch. But Peter was different. Besides the Bible thumping he was not your garden variety Korean student. He was, for the most part, calm and reflective. Kind and introspective. I once asked him why, after all he had gone through, was he not bitter or angry. Why was he so calm and pleasant to be around? Why was he so seemingly accepting of life\'s uncertainties? Why did he seem so much at peace? He replied, (and I\'ll never forget this), that \"God is always watching me.\"</p>\n<p>Imagine that. Imagine going through life feeling, (or knowing), that God is watching you. Would you behave differently? That would be frightening to many people, but it was comforting to Peter. </p>\n<p>I\'ve been a non-believer for as long as I can remember. I would like to think there is a higher power looking after us and protecting mankind. Then I turn on FOX News or the BBC, and quickly realize that mankind is in a hell of a lot of trouble. It quickly becomes obvious that we\'re on our own.</p>\n<p>But what if there really is a Supreme Being looking over us? (Or looking down on us? It\'s tough to find a preposition for this situation.) What if God was in our classrooms observing our teaching? Would that change the way we teach? Should it? I\'ve been thinking about this lately. Even a non-believer like me. I would like to think that we would teach better if God were watching us. Would we come to class more prepared? Would we be more compassionate, more caring? </p>\n<p>This month many in the Thai TESOL community will be attending a conference in Chiang Mai, a conference that will attempt to discuss ways to teach our students better. This is all well and good. We need discussions and debates on ways to improve all aspects of TESOL. According to the Thai TESOL website, some of the issues that will be discussed on a formal and informal basis are teacher education and development, curriculum development and syllabus design, innovative approaches toward learner-centerdness, new ways of teaching grammar and vocabulary, IT applications, and more! This is fine, but there\'s a problem here. Unlike Peter, who honestly felt that God was watching him, who is watching these pseudo-intellectuals while they pontificate the latest TESOL theories? Who is questioning their comments and findings? Who will be there to keep these people honest?</p>\n<p>There are many problems with the TESOL business. One of which is that it\'s a business, not a profession. And it\'s still a very long way from becoming a full-fledged profession with all of its benefits and responsibilities. Another problem is that this business tends to be run by greedy and unethical people who are far more concerned with making money and seeing their name in lights, than they are with really improving the lives of teachers and students. But the problem that this column is concerned with is that the TESOL business is Godless. And in a Godless business, there is a tendency for those running a business to think they are God\'s replacement. This, of course, is dangerous. </p>\n<p>It\'s dangerous because of the tendentious nature of people, especially those in positions of authority, to view things as an either/or phenomenon. We tend to dichotomize people and their experiences, and the TESOL business is certainly no exception. We pigeonhole teachers based upon our perceptions of them, and, to a greater extent, on their beliefs and behaviour. We have doctors and their patients; lawyers and their clients; taxi drivers and their passengers, and TEFL teachers and their students. In the case of doctors, lawyers, and other professionals, a dichotomy between the professional and the people they serve may be warranted for a variety of work related reasons. Even a university professor and his students may, at times, have to be seen as two distinct groups for professional purposes. But there is neither a professional purpose nor a work related reason that TEFL teachers and their students should be viewed and perceived as two distinct groups. Hence the title of this column: The Teachers and Learners as One.</p>\n<p>While the language school directors, managers, and pseudo-intellectuals at TESOL conferences tend to perceive and treat teachers and learners as two distinct groups, we TEFL teachers can\'t. By dint of the fact that we have left out homeland and have travelled to faraway countries to live and teach is a testament to our courage and goodwill, and proof of our willingness to help others. We are on a journey. Call it an educational journey, a psychological journey, or a spiritual journey. But the truth is, we are on a journey. And by dint of the fact that our students are attempting to learn English to better their lives, means, to a certain extent, that they too are on a journey. It may not be the same journey, but it\'s a journey. And so we TEFL teachers and our students are on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. We are ONE, working together for the betterment of each other, one another, and the societies in which we live and teach. </p>\n<p>This may sound Pollyanna or pie-in-the-sky education, but it really isn\'t. By seeing ourselves and our students on a similar journey of self-discovery and self-improvement can only help us in succeeding and reaching our goals. You won\'t hear this from the educational theorists at TESOL conferences. </p>\n<p>Author Neal Donald Walsch talks about a theology of separation. A theology of separation produces a sociology of separation, and a sociology of separation produces pathology. Separating our journey from those of our students simply doesn\'t work. According to Walsch, we have created and are now living in, a pathology of separation. Separation from God, separation from each other, and even separation from ourselves.</p>\n<p>Peter chose not to separate himself from God while learning English in my class. He truly believed that he became a better student because God was watching him. This raises a very interesting and important question: If some students truly feel that they are better students because God is watching them, can this work for teachers as well? Can TEFL teachers become better teachers because God is watching us? If a teacher truly feels that he or she is a better teacher because God is watching them teach, then who is anyone to object? As long as the teacher does not overtly push an agenda, then what\'s the problem?</p>\n<p>In his classic book, \"The Power of Positive Thinking\", Dr. Normand Vincent Peale advised people to make God your business partner, a radical piece of advice when the book was published. This is an interesting idea. Imagine having God as your teaching assistant! Assuming that God is a pretty good teacher himself, how can that not make you a better teacher? </p>\n<p>In his book \"What God Wants\", Neal Donald Walsch puts it this way. \"Creating a feeling inside you can create an event outside you.\" In other words, by believing that God watching you makes you a better teacher can actually make you a better teacher. If this is so, then who is anyone--- be it language school directors, managers, or supervisors--- to tell you otherwise? At the slightest sign of trouble in the classroom, simply take a step back and ask yourself, what would God want me to do? Then do it.</p>\n<p>Now there\'s a good question. What does God want us TEFL teachers to do? We have travelled to strange and faraway places. We are employed in schools trying to teach people with very different customs how to speak our language. So what does God want us to do? Surely God wants us to treat people the way we ourselves want to be treated. He also wants us to help the poor, share ourselves with others, and to be kind and helpful whenever we can. This may be tough to do even under the best of times, but isn\'t that what most of us TEFL teachers are doing a lot of the time, day in and day out? Aren\'t we sharing ourselves with others? Aren\'t we helping many of the world\'s poor by teaching them the English language so that they and their children can at least have a chance at a better life? If this is so, then we are doing what God wants us to do. We are doing God\'s work. This is logical. If God wants us to do A, B, and C, and we are doing A, B, and C, then we are doing God\'s work. We are doing what God wants us to do.</p>\n<p>Ahh, I can hear you say. This all sounds nice, but I\'m no Mother Teresa or Mahatma Gandhi. I can\'t even begin to walk in their shoes. The good news here is that you don\'t have to. Walk in yours. Just do good. </p>\n<p>This brings me to the theology of TEFL. Some of you may be asking what is this new theology of TEFL? Actually, it\'s not new. But it\'s theology. The Theology of TEFL. At TESOL conferences, there\'s a lot of talk about the psychology of TEFL. But there is precious little about the theology of it. Pontificating the latest TESOL theories about how language students learn is little more than a pop-psychological analysis and interpretation of how educational theorists think the mind works. It becomes little more than a pseudo-intellectual commentary about education, second language acquisition, and culture. Interesting and somewhat informative, no doubt. But not something to be taken very seriously. </p>\n<p>Here is the theology of TEFL. If you want to succeed as a teacher, make sure your students succeed first. That\'s it! If you want to achieve your goals and objectives as a teacher, first make sure that your students achieve their goals and objectives. If you want to be the greatest TEFL teacher on earth, make sure that your students are the greatest students on earth--- FIRST. </p>\n<p>The psychology of TEFL is quite different. What the psychology of TEFL tells us is to concentrate on the teacher first and foremost. It tells us that the students can\'t succeed until the teacher first becomes successful. It tells us that the students won\'t learn anything until the teacher first teaches. The psychology of TEFL divides the classroom into two distinct and very different groups: The teacher and the learners; the active giver, and the passive receivers. This is separation theory, in this case, separation between the teachers and the learners. And as Walsch puts it, separation created pathology. It simply doesn\'t work.</p>\n<p>These pseudo-intellectuals and educational theorists who peddle and favor a separation theory in the classroom--- whether they realize it or not--- are doing far more harm than good. They don\'t allow the crucial emotional, and at times, spiritual connection between the teachers and learners that is necessary for true learning to take place. They don\'t allow for that \"magic moment.\" A moment that lets the learners and teachers know that they are on a wonderful journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. If these educational theorists don\'t watch themselves they may end up becoming the Dr. Phil of the TESOL industry! Their theories may end up on a bumper sticker! </p>\n<p>Dr. Phil McGraw, the American pop-psychologist du jour, loves to counsel couples by saying things like, \"you can\'t give away what you don\'t have.\" In other words, you can\'t love another until you first love yourself. That\'s wonderful, but it\'s not entirely true. It\'s probably not even mostly true. </p>\n<p>The BEST time to give something away IS when you feel you don\'t have it. This is the time when it comes back to you in a multitude of ways you never expected. This is the theology of TEFL. If you want to be the best TEFL teacher make sure your students are the best FIRST. In \"What God Wants\", Walsch puts it this way:</p>\n<p>\"If it\'s true that the fastest way to experience that you have something is to give it away, then if you want to experience having something, you\'ll immediately cause another to experience having it.<br />\nIf you want to experience that you have power, cause another to experience that they have power. If you want to experience compassion in your life, cause another to experience compassion in theirs. If you want to experience that you have more companionship, cause another to be companioned. If you want more humor in your life, bring more humor to the life of another. Try it with anything! Try it with everything! It works.\" (Page 110.)</p>\n<p>Walsch sums this up in three words: BE THE SOURCE. Gandhi tells us to \"become the change which we seek.\" However you choose to phrase it, it comes down to one thing: Successful students make successful teachers. Not the other way around. </p>\n<p>The psychology of TEFL tells the teacher to impart your knowledge, then wait and see if the students learn anything. Give and wait to receive. The theology of TEFL tells the teacher to \"give what you wish to receive.\" Giving and receiving become so intertwined that at times we don\'t know who is doing the teaching and who is doing the learning. And we really don\'t need to know. In this journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, we are all teachers and learners.</p>\n<p>I invite all my students on this wonderful journey. I also invite the language school directors and managers. Whether most people take me up on this invitation remains to be seen. I fully realize that this is not for everyone. Some students will be uncomfortable with this. They may be from a society that has never allowed them to take a proactive approach to their own learning. And many language school directors and managers may have absolutely no interest in this theology of TEFL. (Although they might, if they see more money in it for them!) </p>\n<p>Having the teachers and learners sharing a similar educational and spiritual journey will also cut down on many of the misunderstandings and disagreements that plague the teacher/learner relationship. As long as they both know, realize, and accept what they are getting in to, then disagreements and complaints should instantly and dramatically decrease. </p>\n<p>So why not try this? What do we have to lose? After all, God may be watching us!</p>','','2006-01-01 01:00:18',1,'2006-01-01 01:00:18','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(103,4,'The flame of hope','the-flame-of-hope','The optimistic goodbye and our living legacy','I\'ve had some great times in Asia, especially Thailand.

Swiss writer known for his \"Journal Intime.\"</p></blockquote>\n<p>I am leaving Thailand. In fact, I\'m leaving Asia. Not for good I hope, but for a while. It happened very quickly. I knew it would. I woke up one morning and suddenly felt that I had had enough of Asia. It happens. After seven plus years in Asia I was almost expecting this jolt. Don\'t get me wrong. I\'ve loved my time here. Most of it, anyway. I\'ve had some great times in Asia, especially Thailand. Times I will never forget. But when it\'s time to leave, it\'s time to leave. And we all know when it\'s time.</p>\n<p>I have titled this column \"The Flame of Hope, The Optimistic Goodbye, and Our Living Legacy.\" I\'m not sure why. For the most part, I\'m not a very optimistic person. And the times I feel hopeful, I mean real hope, are few and far between. As far as the glass being half empty, that would be wonderful. On most days, I barely see a drop of water in the glass. The world is full of horrible and beautiful things. I suppose it\'s up to each of us to find our way. It\'s like that old saying: Some people look out at the world and ask \"Why?\", while others look out and ask \"Why not?\" I suppose the worst thing would be to refuse to look out at the world and not bother to ask questions at all.</p>\n<p>The flame of hope lies in all of us travellers and expatriates: Teachers, doctors, missionaries, and anyone who tries to do good; who tries to make the slightest positive difference in the lives of other people, and in so doing, makes the world just a bit more livable. The flame of hope lies in us all as we struggle to connect with our fellow man and bring him some peace of mind that seems to have escaped him and most of us for so long.</p>\n<p>Inherent in the flame of hope is the profound belief that we EFL teachers can alter the course of human history simply by sharing ourselves with others. We many not be able to move mountains, but we can touch people\'s hearts and move their souls. Never doubt that a group of dedicated people, however small or seemingly insignificant, can change the world for the better.</p>\n<p>Why? Because throughout history, that\'s all it took. We may be a small group of EFL individuals, but we are very capable of making profound and positive changes in so many people\'s lives worldwide. That is the flame of hope. People don\'t have to live in dire poverty. People don\'t need to feel hopeless. We can help by guiding our students into a far better and more prosperous future.</p>\n<p>We EFL teachers are not doing this to make the rich richer. We should not be wasting our time, money, and energy padding fat businessmen\'s bank accounts. We\'re doing this to make the poor richer. We\'re not foot soldiers fighting some proxy war for business interests. We\'re not educational puppets on a string being made to dance by the school administration. We\'re EFL teachers trying to make our students lives better. And the respect that we deserve should be, and must be, on our own terms.</p>\n<p>As EFL teachers, there are always two major obstacles constantly in our way: The school management, and the financially upper class of the societies in which we teach. Some schools, with its repressive and archaic teaching methods, as well as their greedy business practices, are not always working with the student\'s best interests in mind. While the upper class has absolutely no vested interest, financially, socially, or otherwise, of seeing the poverty stricken of their own society rise to the ranks of the middle class. In fact, the upper class needs a certain number of its citizens to remain poor so that they, the upper class, can remain rich. I fully realize that I\'m saying absolutely nothing new here. I simply point this out as a reminder of what we EFL teachers are up against. </p>\n<p>Living and working in Thailand and other Asian countries offers us foreigners so much. It gives us the chance to see a different part of the world through, not only our own eyes, but through the eyes of others. It offers us the wonderful opportunity not only to teach, but to learn. It gives us the chance to experience life, in all of its multitudinous and wondrous facets. Life in other countries will make you angry, lonely, joyful, pitiful, afraid, glad to be alive, nostalgic, homesick, and sometimes, just plain sick. There are times when we experience so many of these emotions together. And if you\'re lucky, living and working in a foreign country will humble you. Although most of us want so much to help others, there\'s only so much we can do. That\'s hard to take, but accepting our limitations is a large part of what it means to live and work overseas.</p>\n<p>I have so many people to thank. Firstly, my friends, mentors and fellow teachers at AUA. Although I had some disagreements and irreconcilable differences with the management, my fellow teachers and mentors at AUA not only helped to make me a better teacher, they also helped to make me a better man. And for that, I\'m eternally grateful. Secondly, the people of Thailand. I have always felt welcomed here, whether as a teacher or a tourist. I look forward to coming back one day. Third, Philip at ajarn.com for giving myself and so many others the opportunity to express ourselves through columns and an open forum. His contribution to Thai TESOL community is very important and serves a great purpose. Keep up the great work, Phil. Forth, the readers and teachers on ajarn.com for letting me know when they think I\'ve gone too far. Never underestimate the power of the free exchange of ideas and opinions. The great TESOL debate is what is sorely lacking in this part of the world. So thanks guys. And, saving the best for last, the students. This is why we\'re here. I have been blessed in Thailand for some of the best students I\'ve ever had the pleasure of being with. Their smiles have touched me deeply, and their outlook on life has inspired me to continue. They are truly our living legacies.</p>\n<p>I will be going home to Montreal for a month or two. Then it\'ll be time to continue the journey.<br />\nI\'ve been thinking about South America for a while. Brazil seems exotic. Maybe Peru or Argentina. Mexico seems like an interesting place to try and make a difference. I hear that a secretary in Mexico City can earn up to a thousand pesos a month more just because she can speak English. With this extra money she can help feed and clothe her family, and perhaps send her children to a better school. She can have a better future. And it\'s the same just about everywhere else. More English means more money for those who learn it. And more money means a better future. This is our gift to the world. And the students that we help are our living legacies. </p>\n<p>Schools must continually remind us of our living legacy. We must be shown how we EFL teachers are making a positive difference in the lives of our students. The management of most schools shy away from this, and they shouldn\'t. Although in most cases we can see this for ourselves, it would be nice to be reminded of it every now and then. </p>\n<p>One of the reasons I write this column is the plain fact and honest truth that as foreigners living in a foreign land, we\'re all in this together. Whether we like it or not, whether we accept it or not, all of us are in the same boat. We all share the same goals and objectives for our students, or at least we should. Success, freedom, liberty, and knowing that with a lot of hard work and perhaps with a little luck, our dreams will come true. This is everyone\'s birthright, and as EFL teachers and TESOL providers, we all share in the responsibility to ensure the birthright of our students. A little support and encouragement does go a long way. </p>\n<p>I hope to continue with this column wherever I decide to go in the world. Not necessarily because I have so much to say, (that may be partly true), but because I still have so much to learn. I\'m continually learning from other teachers and readers on this website, and I am grateful for that.</p>\n<p>My flight home leaves on the 17th of this month and where I will teach and learn next, I don\'t know. A map of the world gives us many opportunities, and we EFL teachers are extremely fortunate to be in the position we\'re in. Before I go, I\'d like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes.</p>\n<p>\"A day dawns, quite like other days; in it, a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us.\" ----- Maltbie Davenport Babcock, 1858 -- 1901.</p>','','2005-11-30 19:14:51',1,'2005-11-30 19:14:51','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(104,4,'The TESOL diaspora','the-tesol-diaspora','Making the outside world a home','I feel that the TESOL community, (if indeed there is such a thing as a TESOL community), is at a crossroads.

And when it\'s time to tell our story, and one day we will, when it\'s time to put our story into words and tell the world, our story won\'t be about exotic travel destinations. It won\'t be about tropical Island paradises. It won\'t be about greedy language school directors dreaming of huge bank accounts. It won\'t be about pompous deputy language school directors and managers attending self-aggrandizing TESOL conferences in their clumsy attempts to turn language learning into an awkward science. It won\'t even be about the games we played or the songs we sang with little children in faraway places. Although this is a part of our story, and we will remember some of these things fondly. </p>\n<p>No. Our story is far more complicated than that. Far less mundane. Far more philosophical. Far more important. And far more human. Our story comes not from the mind, but from the heart. Our story comes not from the brain, but from the soul. Our story will not ask, How can we make teaching as a Foreign Language better? Our story will ask, How can we make ourselves better while teaching English as a Foreign Language? Our story will not ask, How can we make learning English better? Our story will ask, How can we make the lives of others better while they\'re learning English? Our story will not be about the experiments and theories of the day. Our story will be about the day to day lives and experiences of everyday people. Our story will not be about our attempts to escape the outside world by living in the comfort of our home or office. Our story as individuals in the TESOL community will be about our attempt to make of the outside world a home. Our home. Today we are living our story. A story that has yet to be told. </p>\n<p>Our story is the continuation of our ancestor\'s journey. My ancestors came from what is now Romania, the Ukraine, and Poland. They were Eastern European Jews, who forged for themselves a new life in a new country for them called Canada. I work with other teachers whose ancestors came from all across Europe, other parts of Asia, and Africa. They have moved and settled in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. Their children and grandchildren, in turn, are now living and teaching in faraway places. Globalization has never looked so good! </p>\n<p>But the history is emigration is the history of alienation. Just as our ancestors were torn apart from their villages and hamlets, separated by war, famine, disease, poverty, racism, anti-semitism, and political oppression, we, the members of the TESOL community, are also separated from our families. We are also witness to dire poverty, disease, and racism wherever we go. Although we have left our homelands of our own volition, and for many different reasons, we continue to face the economic reality that life back home just \'aint what it used to be. For a lot of us, it\'s either teach English in Asia, or flip burgers. </p>\n<p>The great American playwright Arthur Miller once wrote that all serious plays address a single question: \"How can a man make of the outside world a home?\" This question is the crux of our story that has yet to be told. </p>\n<p>\"Confronted with world or social relations apart from the family, the problem becomes\", Miller writes, \"How may a man make of the outside world a home? How and in what ways must he struggle, what must he strive to change and overcome within himself and outside himself if he is to find the safety, the surroundings of love, the ease of soul, the sense of identity and honor which all men have connected in their memories with the idea of family?\" </p>\n<p>I feel that the TESOL community, (if indeed there is such a thing as a TESOL community), is at a crossroads. Since so few of us have ever felt really comfortable living in another man\'s land, our story is not only one of alienation. It is also one of fragmentation, disillusion, and dissimulation. It is one with little sense of security and almost no sense of wholeness, especially spiritual wholeness. Many of us are like lost lambs, estranged from the hearts of others, and separated from our own hearts and souls as well. </p>\n<p>I\'ll never forget some of the people I\'ve met over the years. People like Shannon and her 10 year old son, trying desperately to fit into the life of rural China in the year 2000. \"I\'m not just looking for a job\", she told the school director during a difficult time. \"I\'m looking for a place to call home.\" Unfortunately, I\'m not sure if she ever made the outside world a home. And a former Montrealer I met in Korea in the Spring of 1997. We were both newbies at the time. He confided to us one evening that he spent the first three months crying himself to sleep because \"I just can\'t get used to this place.\" With time, patience, and the support of good friends, he eventually did make of the outside world a home--- if only temporarily. </p>\n<p>Even Bangkok, with its infamous nightlife, can be a difficult place for a foreigner to call home. Try taking a middle-class young westerner, uprooting him from familiar surroundings, and planting him in Korea, China, Japan, India, Vietnam or Thailand. Even under the best of circumstances, it is, at times, extremely difficult to feel at home in any of these places. </p>\n<p>So, how can we EFL teachers make of the outside world a home? How can we answer Arthur Miller\'s great question, so that we can begin to tell and write our story? A story that deserves and needs to be told. We can make of the outside world a home simply be supporting, mentoring, and nurturing one another. A home is more than bricks, cement, wood, ceramic tiles, and formica counter tops. A home is a place to kick off your shoes. A home is a place to learn, to live, to grow, and to find the freedom to be ourselves.<br />\nA home is where we support one another. Yes, there are and will continue to be conflicts. A home would not be a home without some conflict. But in our home we will not allow any conflict to keep us apart. Instead, we will use our conflict, our occasional disputes and disagreements, to learn from each other and bring us closer together. We must give each other the support we need or we will not succeed in anything! It\'s that simple. </p>\n<p>In his poem \"September 1, 1939\", W.H. Auden declares, \"We must love one another or die.\" Only in this case, I would change \"love\" to \"support.\" As EFL teachers in the TESOL community, we must support one another or die. </p>\n<p>So this is our story. Confronted with a hostile outside world, we must support one another or die. We must support one another, or we all fail. No one succeeds alone. </p>\n<p>The outside world can never replace the warmth, love, and spirit of our families and homeland. That would be impossible. It was never meant to. But by working together, by supporting one another, by nurturing and mentoring and learning from one another, we all grow together. And by growing together we help to create and perpetuate an environment where we all succeed. By doing this, the outside world, where we learn, live, grow, and teach English, becomes a lot more hospitable. It almost becomes a place to call home. </p>','','2005-10-31 19:19:45',1,'2005-10-31 19:19:45','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(105,4,'Touch their hearts','touch-their-hearts','Touch their hearts and their minds will follow','Let\'s leave the academic stuff to Thais. Leave all of this pedagogical, impersonal, pompous-ass, Ivy-league, academic mumbo-jumbo for their own people. As westerners, let\'s teach them some real English. ','<p>She was young and cute and eager to learn English. She was also shy and scared and vulnerable. And this experience taught me above all else what it really means to be an ESL teacher. And I forgot all about it. I try not to forget, but sometimes I do. And it\'s certainly not to my benefit to forget. And it can never be in the students best interest that I forget this wonderful life learning experience. So from hereon in I vow to remember. I promise to remember Mi-hwa. </p>\n<p>In the Spring of 1998, I was teaching adults at a language school in Seoul. I was still quite new to teaching, especially adults. One evening in class, as I was wrapping things up, I noticed a very shy young lady out of the corner of my eye. She looked extremely sad, and I noticed that her eyes began to fill with tears. I dismissed the class and watched the students leave. Moments later, they all left the classroom. Everyone that is, except for that one very shy young lady with the tears in her eyes. Her name was Im Mi-hwa and she was 20 years old. She remained seated with her head buried in her hands. \"What\'s the matter, Mi-hwa?\", I asked her hesitantly. </p>\n<p>Then the tears began to flow. \"I--- can\'t---- learn---- English.\" Again, this time very meekly, \"I can\'t learn English.\"</p>\n<p>I was almost in shock. I had been teaching adults for only a few months and this was the first time something like that had ever happened to me. I lightly touched her shoulder in an awkward attempt to console her. \"Please don\'t cry, Mi-hwa. I didn\'t realize this was difficult for you. Please come back to my class and I\'ll do whatever I can to help you, okay?\" She nodded her head yes. </p>\n<p>That night and all the next day I thought about Mi-hwa and what I could do to help. To be honest, I wasn\'t sure what I could do. But the next evening she did come back and I was grateful. I bought her a book on how to learn English. In class I asked her questions I knew she could answer. And I praised her for it. I even gave her some extra help. When I left the school after my contract was up, Mi-hwa gave me a note which read in part, \"Thank you, Steve. You have given me pride in learning English.\" I had spent the last several months at that school watching Mi-hwa\'s confidence grow and listening to her greatly improved English. It would be very wise to take this ESL experience with me wherever I go. Touch their hearts, and their minds will follow. </p>\n<p>It doesn\'t always work, but 99% of the time, it does. If you read my column last month, you will know the one time when it didn\'t work. I\'ve said it before, but it\'s worth repeating. I work with a great bunch of teachers. One of which is Barry Sarelson, the Jackie Gleason and Art Carney of AUA. He\'s the one with an endless supply of great jokes. </p>\n<p>\"What\'s the difference between teaching at AUA and a large pizza?<br />\n---- A large pizza can feed a family of four!\"</p>\n<p>Barry is worth learning a lot from. Not only about teaching ESL, but about life. He tells his students, \"Hey we\'re all here to learn, but we\'re also here to have fun. So let\'s have fun while learning something. And if you\'re not going to have some fun, then go home. And come back when you\'re ready to have some fun.\" Of course he says that with a smile on his face. But he\'s right. Barry is approaching his mid 50\'s and I\'m in my mid 40\'s. We both know that life is short and getting shorter all the time. If you\'re not having some fun in the ESL world, then it\'s time to get out. Touch their hearts and their minds will follow. </p>\n<p>I\'m trying to forget that awful writing class of last term, or at least put it behind me, but I\'m still learning from that experience. And my friend Barry, with his great attitude about life, is helping me along. In the past I\'ve been accused of taking things too seriously, and for the most part, that assessment is correct. </p>\n<p>Not too long ago, I sat in one of the manager\'s offices talking about this troublesome writing class. I told him that as ESL teachers it is our responsibility to have the students fall in love with English. What I would like to do, I told him, is to have the students fall in love with writing--- the whole process of it. Not just see it as an end result with a grade to follow. But it was as if I was talking to a chicken. Managers and teachers just don\'t seem to understand each other very well. It\'s interesting, and tragically unfortunate for both the students and teachers, that many managers and language school directors, in their zeal to see themselves as gurus of their profession, tend to neglect and ignore this extremely essential connection between the teachers and students: Touch their hearts and their minds will follow. </p>\n<p>That\'s just a part of the problem. Here are a few sobering statistics that may or may not convince readers why we ESL teachers should not be in the business of teaching \"academic\" writing to Thais. </p>\n<p>1) Thais don\'t read. According to a survey conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO), 18.3 million people out of 59.2 million citizens over the age of six do not read at all! And most of those who do read, prefer tabloid newspapers, comic books, and gossip magazines. A Thai English teacher at AUA was heard commenting, \"Why don\'t Thai parents read to their children? Because their parents never read to them.\" </p>\n<p>2) Results of more than 100,000 exams taken over three years from 1998 to 2001 also show that 95 per cent of grade ten high school students in Thailand scored less than 50 per cent in four subjects --- mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology --- and almost 70 per cent scored less than 30 per cent. </p>\n<p>3) For every 10,000 Thais, there are 1.27 scientific researchers, according to the National Research Council of Thailand. This is far behind most developing nations.</p>\n<p>4) Two years ago, Thailand\'s scientific development was ranked 28th out of 30 countries by the Institute of Management Development in Switzerland. It also doesn\'t help when Science teachers are earning a measly 7,400 Baht a month. That\'s less than $200.00 U.S. (The Nation, August 1, 2005.)</p>\n<p>Great academic writing is primarily based an asking and answering the question, \"Why?\" Thais cannot answer the question why because for most of their history they have never even been allowed to ask the question! Only in truly free societies can people dare ask \"Why?\", and expect not to be ostracized, tortured, or killed. </p>\n<p>Great academic writing is also \"left-brained\" in nature. It is rational, sequential, coherent, cohesive. Thais are \"right-brained\" thinkers. Look at the textbooks used in a Thai academic writing class. Take a glance at the table of contents: Introductions; Conclusions; Descriptive Paragraphs; Process Paragraphs; Comparision/Contrast Paragraphs; Topic Sentences; Thesis Statements; Outlines; Causality; Transition Words and Phrases; Unity and Coherence; First Draft; Second Draft.... It may be okay for us westerners, but it\'s totally foreign to Thais and their way of life. Expecting a Thai to adapt to a Cambridge or Oxford University Press academic writing textbook is like expecting a right hander to become a left hander overnight. Totally absurd and unrealistic. </p>\n<p>Thailand is not blessed with Harvard-type students. I wish it were, but all the wishing in the world is not going to change things.<br />\nMost Thai students are not even close to being at the stage or level where they can begin to tackle such writing. This is pure style over grammatical structure. By ramming this stuff down their throats long before they are ready, we are expecting our students to become marathon runners before they have even learned how to walk! Totally unrealistic and ignorant of us! </p>\n<p>People who don\'t read great literature, can\'t write. And until they do read great literature on a regular basis, they will never learn how to write. Period! Great writers are voracious readers. Voracious readers are endless thinkers. And endless thinkers are also dreamers who dream of better things. These dreamers fall in love with what they do, and want to extend that love to others around them. We should be teaching Thais to fall in love with writing. Teaching creative writing is one way to do this. But even this is a challenge. Great literature is based on three distinct but interrelated struggles in man: </p>\n<p>1) Man\'s struggle with himself, (based primarily on introspection.)<br />\n2) Man\'s struggle with man, (based primarily on conflict and confrontation.)<br />\n3) Man\'s struggle with God, (based on the freedom to ask questions, especially, \"Why?\") </p>\n<p>Thailand is still a non-information society. Knowledge and information here is not easily shared, and its distribution and dissemination is not done on an equal basis. This may be changing slowly, but that\'s open to question and debate. It would never even occur to a Thai to look inside of himself and ask the crucial question, \"Why?\" To accomplish this, one needs to see oneself as a self; a truly free and functioning individual separated from Nietzsche\'s herd. Given that Thailand is also a non-reading society, a non-introspective society, (almost anti-introspective), and a non-emotionally expressive society, at least traditionally, then opening Thais up to these kinds of struggles, both small and epic, is a huge task indeed. But with time, patience, and the proper material, it can be done. Touch their hearts and their minds will follow. </p>\n<p>So let\'s leave the academic stuff to Thais. Leave all of this pedagogical, impersonal, pompous-ass, Ivy-league, academic mumbo-jumbo for their own people. As westerners, let\'s teach them some real English. Thais, like just about all Asian students, are terrified at the prospect of learning English. Academic writing is a means to an end. An end that Thai students and their society are not near ready for. Part of our job is to get our students to love writing in English as an end in itself. Writing as a process of self knowledge. Writing as a process of discovery. Writing as a process of expression. Writing for the sheer love of it. </p>\n<p>Why fill their minds with useless foreign junk that the vast majority of them will never use in their own country, when we can touch their hearts and have them fall in love with the process of creative writing like it was the most natural thing in the world? Our goal and mission is to have the students fall in love with English--- all of it--- not to academically fine-tune it to the point where there is nothing left to fall in love with. Our goal is to throw the door to the English language wide open, not to put the students into the classroom, close the door, and expect academic miracles. </p>\n<p>Now I realize that we are not about to create a bunch of Hemingways and Shakespeares, but that\'s not the point and it\'s not the intention. Thailand is not about to join the great literary stage anytime soon. But we can make a small difference by getting the students to fall in love with writing by connecting their writing with their own environment. Personalize the writing. This will work. I\'ve done it. For those who don\'t believe that Thais aren\'t creative enough to do this, remember, these are people who have taught elephants how to dance and shoot basketballs. Creativity is only a problem for our students if we don\'t take the time and make proper use of what is already there. Touch their hearts and their minds will follow. </p>\n<p>But if you don\'t want to believe me, then the least you can do is believe Jib. Jib was a former student of mine in a past writing class, and a 30 year old secretary who wrote a beautiful essay titled, \"An Important Person In My Life.\" It follows with some corrections. </p>\n<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>An Important Person In My Life:<br />\n----------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>I was born into a Chinese family. By tradition, the first child will be an important person, especially the son. I am a second child and, being a girl, I always thought that no one loved me, especially my mother. So I never listened to her or believed what she taught me. </p>\n<p>My mother is a strong woman who loves work. I never seen her stop working since she divorced my father. Because she has to take care of two daughters and three sons, I was asked to help her with her work and she would punish me if I didn\'t. </p>\n<p>One day I had an accident. I had to stay in the hospital for six months, then recover at home. I couldn\'t walk for a while. She had to take care of me all the time. I was feeling numb all along the abdomen. Imagine how hard it was for my mother to take care of me and work at the same time. She cried when I got hurt. She told me that she gave me life and a perfect body, and why did I try to destroy myself? She wished I would be healthy, have a good life and be a good girl. That was all she wanted. </p>\n<p>I realized that she really did love me. I was touched by her words and acceptance. Now, whenever I do anything, I will think about her. I will try to make her happy and proud of me. I learned the power of love without conditions from my mother. </p>\n<p>Now I listen more carefully then when I was a girl. I now know that there are many things I could learn from her. I think this is a blessing from God that I have her.</p>\n<p>Jib.</p>\n<p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>This story brought a tear to my eye, and my only comment on the page was, \"Amazing story, Jib.\" This is what happens when you touch the student\'s hearts. They come back and touch yours. This is what happens when you free students from all of the academic, pedantic, pedagogical, and emotionally numbing crap that is \"academic writing.\" This is what happens when you tell them that\'s it\'s okay to feel; that it\'s wonderful to feel; that it\'s essential to feel! You get really good students. That\'s what happens. </p>\n<p>This is not just an ESL lesson. It\'s a life lesson. It\'s a life lesson never to forget people like Mi-hwa and Jib and the thousands of others just like them. It\'s a life lesson that tells every single one of us--- from teachers and students, to doctors and chefs, to shopkeepers and bus drivers--- that what is in the human heart is far more valuable than any of the garbage we so called educators can cram into people\'s minds. Touch their hearts and their minds will follow. I\'m learning that lesson. But are the managers and language school directors? </p>','','2005-09-30 19:23:50',1,'2005-09-30 19:23:50','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(106,4,'I want your English and nothing more','i-want-your-english-and-nothing-more','Human beings first, English teachers second','Most of the students marched lockstep into the manager\'s office and demanded another teacher.

I am a human being!\"<br />\n--- John Merrick, (The Elephant Man.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>I\'ve never been much for reality shows. American Idol is pretty good, I suppose. But the rest of them are ridiculous. Take the latest reality show in The Netherlands--- \"I Want Your Baby--- And Nothing More.\" If the title isn\'t self-explanatory, it\'s about a woman who, after \"dating\" and \"interviewing\" several men, chooses one of them to have his baby--- and nothing more. The \"lucky\" fellow gets to donate his sperm to this \"lady\" who then lives out her dream of having a baby without all of the emotional ups and downs of an actual relationship. Convenient, huh?</p>\n<p>I bring up this reality show because it reminded me of a horrible class I had last month. Or did this horrible class remind me of this reality show? It was an upper-level academic writing class. I tried my best. I really did. Like all the other classes, it was supposed to last six weeks. But I was kicked off the ESL island after only three weeks. It simply didn\'t work. The students were way too serious. Or was I not serious enough? </p>\n<p>By the beginning of the second week, one of the managers gave me an interesting idea. Get the students to write a letter to you, (the teacher), telling you how you can help them with their writing. Good idea in theory. A bonehead move in reality. Eleven students, eleven different letters. Eleven different letters, eleven different ideas. Eleven different ideas, eleven different ways on how I can help them. Eleven different ways on how I can help them, eleven different demanding students pulling me in eleven different directions. All at the same time! You see where I\'m going with this.</p>\n<p>To make a long story short, most of them complained bitterly about me. And why wouldn\'t they? I was well prepared for every lesson; I spent time and money downloading writing material from the Internet, (the textbook was sparse, to say the least.) I downloaded lighthearted stuff, like the \"Happiness Journal\" created by Marc Helgessen, who has been teaching in Japan for over 20 years. When I handed it out, they didn\'t even crack a smile. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Zero. Zippo!</p>\n<p>For the August 12th Mother\'s Day here in Thailand, I shared stories with them about my mother. I showed them pictures of her in her wheelchair while telling them about her bout with Multiple Sclerosis. I played the song \"Coat of Many Colors\", by Dolly Parton, a beautiful and touching song which tells the story about a poor girl who\'s mother makes her a coat from rags because the family couldn\'t afford a new one. Then I invited them to write an essay about a wonderful thing that they\'re mothers had done for them. Did it have much to do with \"academic\" writing? Probably not. But who cares. I\'m an ESL teacher, and part of our job is to touch our student\'s hearts. If you can\'t touch your student\'s hearts, then you\'ve done nothing.</p>\n<p>By the end of the third week, most of the students marched lockstep into the manager\'s office and demanded another teacher. Fair enough. I stepped aside. Was I ready for the seriousness of this class? Absolutely not. I had absolutely no intention of treating this class, or any writing class, with the seriousness that the students demanded. I am a human being first, an ESL teacher second.</p>\n<p>You can question my expertise, or lack thereof, all you want. There isn\'t a day that goes by that I don\'t question it at least 20 times. I\'m sure that the students, who marched lockstep into the manager\'s office, questioned my lack of expertise as well. I\'m sure that there are many times that the AUA managers question it too. And why not? No one\'s perfect. Not even the AUA managers. We are all in the same boat doing the best we can. </p>\n<p>I have been very fortunate to have such sympathetic coworkers and friends at AUA; fellow teachers who know from first hand experience what\'s it\'s like to have a difficult and demanding class. My fellow teachers certainly know what it\'s like to be an ESL teacher with all of the joys and frustrations that go with it. Since this experience some of them have told me, \"Hey Steve, this is only a 350 Baht an hour job. It\'s not worth it.\" I understand their rationale. And maybe they\'re right. But I\'m not here for the money. This is Thailand, who is? I\'m here to make a difference. I\'m here to help.</p>\n<p>I\'m a huge fan of ESL teachers bringing their humanity, their humanness as a teacher into the classroom. I\'m also a huge fan of AUA\'s professional development program (PDP) for it\'s teachers. I always have been and remain to this day. (I may be one of very few teachers at AUA that likes the PDP and its managers. This is why I\'m very comfortable in asking the questions that I\'m about to ask.)</p>\n<p>What good is a professional development program for teachers if, as a result, it contributes to turning your teachers into arrogant, unfeeling, pedantic pricks? What on earth is the point of becoming an \"expert\" in ESL, if, in the process, you lose your humanity and can\'t relate to your students on any emotional level? What the hell good is it to hone your ESL skills to such a fine point that you come off sounding like an uncaring son-of-a-bitch? What the hell good is a professional development program if, in the end, it contributes to the teacher\'s unfeeling, robotic implementation of the school\'s strict pedagogy at the expense of caring not a wit about the hearts and souls of the students? What on earth is the point of getting a Master\'s Degree in Applied Linguistics if you can\'t even apply your own personal skills in the classroom? The ESL/TESOL world is full of arrogant, pompous pukes who think they know their stuff. The last thing we need is more of them.</p>\n<p>What we need are human beings in the classroom. And a lot more of them. Human beings who feel every conceivable human emotion and are not afraid to convey that to the students. What we need in the classroom are human beings who are not afraid to take risks; human beings who are not afraid to take chances; human beings who are not afraid to take their students on the magical journey that is the English language. ESL is not rocket science. Sometimes the AUA managers seem to forget that.</p>\n<p>I\'ve had many years experience in this business, and I know one thing for sure: Almost every student will forgive their teacher for a \"pedagogical\", (how I hate that word), error in the classroom. After all, we are all human. But the vast majority of ESL students will NEVER forgive you if you come across as an arrogant, unfeeling, uncaring, robotic son-of-a-bitch. This is true regardless of wherever you are teaching in the world. First and foremost, ESL students need and deserve a feeling, caring, and dedicated human teacher.</p>\n<p>I am perfectly willing and able to step into the classroom as a fallible, limited and imperfect teacher. (Afterall, I\'ve been doing it for years.) And I\'m perfectly willing and able to fail and fall flat on my face as a fallible, limited and imperfect teacher. (I\'ve been doing that for years too.) What I\'m NEVER willing to do, however, is to fail my students as a human being. I am not willing, and certainly not able, to step into the classroom pretending to know more than I do. I respect my students far too much to even attempt that.</p>\n<p>The fact that I lack expertise in teaching \"academic\" writing is obvious. especially to the AUA managers. But what I lack in expertise, I certainly make up for in dedication, creativity, and human interaction, (or what is pompously referred to in TEFL circles as \"inter-subjectivity.\")<br />\nIn just about every one of the six classes I had with them, I told the students that I would do all I can to help them succeed. I told them that I liked them. I told them that I respected them. I told them that I was up late into the night correcting their essays. All true. And what happened? They demanded another teacher. I did all I could for them, but some of their behavior bordered on abuse.</p>\n<p>One woman in the class shoved the textbook in my face and demanded to know why I didn\'t teach a certain page that evening. A male student sternly told me that I must understand Thai society before stepping into the classroom. (Minor inconveniences compared to some of the crap that I put up with in Korea, but bordering on abuse nonetheless.) </p>\n<p>Let me make one thing very clear: Any student who shoves a book in a teacher\'s face, or something similar, should be told, in no uncertain terms, by the administration, to take a bloody hike! (I would suggest we use a stronger term than \"bloody.\") For the record, I did not report this student to management, preferring to handle the situation myself.</p>\n<p>As for understanding Thai society before stepping into the classroom, where do I begin with that? Rampant government corruption? Prostitution and sexual exploitation? Abject poverty? An educational system that purposely keeps most of its own people in the dark? Child abuse? Spousal abuse? Rampant addiction to alcohol and amphetamines? A lack of free press? The millions of people who are suffering from serious mental illness, and the complete lack of help that is available to them? Slave labor? Someone please stop me!</p>\n<p>I understand enough about Thai society to make me want to barf my guts out for the next seven years! I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again. We ESL teachers are not here to understand and interpret Thai society. We are here to help change it for the better. And for those who have a problem with that, too bad.</p>\n<p>My parents have taught me many wonderful things about life. I call them regularly on my cell phone. Before hanging up we always say \"I Iove you\", and \"I miss you.\" Mushy stuff, I know, so please bare with me with this hallmark moment. The last two things I said to the students in that writing class was, </p>\n<p>1) \"I care about you\", and<br />\n2) \"I promise to do all I can to help you.\" </p>\n<p>Then they were gone. I said what was in my heart, and because of that, I have no regrets.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to leave the last word to one of the students from the class. The following words are from a letter she wrote to the manager who relayed the letter on to me. It reads in part, (including errors),</p>\n<p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>Dear manager\'s name),</p>\n<p>I regretted to join our classmates for complaining about our teacher--- Mr. Steve on Wednesday. I thought a lot about the conflict between Steve and us after I returned home. Actually, I want to give moral support to Steve for things are becoming negative towards him now. </p>\n<p>At the beginning of this course, everybody is confused with Steve\'s teaching method, because it is totally different from that of (previous teacher\'s name.) After the first discussion with you and with the time going on, Steve is getting better and better, he is improving a lot in class, and he has given us a new look. However, some of us are still not impressed by his performance, and they want a teacher who is just the same as (previous teacher\'s name.) This is the point why they don\'t accept Steve at all, and they always compare Steve to (previous teacher\'s name.) As other students say, all the teachers have their own styles of teaching. For writing class, we need to learn the skill of writing, and all of us are serious about it. I find that Steve tries to make us relaxed and a little funny with studying in the class, this is his original intention. It is good! Unfortunately, some students can\'t appreciate the way he does, and they complain all the time.</p>\n<p>Moreover, I think Steve is also a good teacher now (some of our classmates agree with me.) I also know that he has spent a lot of time to prepare before class, and he really cares everyone in the class. At least, comparing with some of other teachers, Steve has a better sense of responsibility for students. Therefore, we can\'t say that Steve isn\'t a good teacher. On the other hand, he has already tried his best to make us clear in understanding. Unfortunately, some of students are still unhappy with him and still keeping complaint, so they just pay attention to this difference. To keep doing this, I think is unfair for our teacher--- Steve. In a word, no teacher can meet all the needs of the students.</p>\n<p>To my understanding, students have the right to express their difficult views and even complaint in terms of teaching methods. However, to find out the solution to the problem is the goal we should seek.</p>\n<p>Thank you for giving me your time to hear from me.</p>\n<p>Best regards</p>\n<p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>It was a nice letter. And it did cheer me up for a while. But it still does nothing to solve the problem. Huge and important questions remain to be asked and answered from ALL sides: Teachers, students, managers and directors alike. One of which is \"What in the world is ESL teaching about?\"</p>\n<p>We know what\'s it\'s NOT about. ESL teaching is NOT about the managerial staff sticking their collective heads in the sand, hoping against all hope that everything runs smoothly. Life doesn\'t work that way and neither does ESL. It\'s NOT about taking the money and running away with it. It\'s NOT about the managerial staff hiding in their air-conditioned offices, behind their desks, academic books, and papers, emerging three times a day to eat and pee.</p>\n<p>ESL teaching is about taking risks. ESL teaching is about taking chances--- before it\'s too late. It\'s about touching hearts, and changing minds. It\'s about learning from both the good and the bad moments, and all the other moments in between. It\'s about celebrating both the good and the bad moments, and all the other moments in between. ESL teaching is about the triumphs, the joys, the pain, the heartache, the sadness, the sorrow. It\'s about the what is, the what could be, and the what could have been..... only if..... It\'s about all the victories, great and small, and all of the many defeats. It\'s about showing up everyday with your REAL face. It\'s about falling flat on your face, getting back up, and trying again and again and again. It\'s about NEVER giving up. ESL teaching is about believing in your students when they don\'t even believe in themselves. It\'s about believing in yourself when the students don\'t even believe in you. It\'s about celebrating humanity and your own particular humanness. ESL teaching, like life itself, is all about getting buck-ass naked and rolling around in all of your limitations and imperfections, and inviting your students to do the same. ESL teaching is about ALL of these wonderful things, and so much more we can\'t even imagine. </p>\n<p>I know exactly what kind of teacher I want to be. A human one. But another important question remains for ESL students, schools, managers and directors: What kind of teachers are all of these people looking for? I want your money--- and nothing more. I want your baby--- and nothing more. I want your English--- and nothing more. Is this what the world has become? If it has, we ALL lose; teachers, students, teachers, managers, directors. Everyone. Can we afford to lose?</p>\n<p>(Next month: What I learned from this experience; the three most important qualities in an ESL teacher; and why we should never teach \"academic\" writing to Thais. \"Creative\" writing, Yes! \"Academic\" writing, No!)</p>','','2005-08-31 19:33:24',1,'2005-08-31 19:33:24','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(107,4,'Boredom in the ESL classroom','boredom-in-the-esl-classroom','What every teacher, student and administrator should know','When I hear of students complaining that they\'re bored, my first response, at least to myself is, \"So?\" My next response is, \n\"I really don\'t care.\" Which is true.

It\'s that simple.\n','<blockquote><p>\"When I have occasionally set myself to consider the different distractions of men, I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact; that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.\"<br />\n---- Blase Pascal, French philosopher. (1623--1662.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>\"Teacher, I\'m bored.\" \"Teacher, this is boring. Can we do something else?\" \"Teacher, you\'re boring!\" \"Teacher, are you bored?\"</p>\n<p>Who hasn\'t heard this from time to time? Just me? I thought so. But boredom in the ESL classroom is a problem. I just know it. Even if we don\'t acknowledge it, or do our best to ignore it in the hope that it will just go away. Like any other social problem, we as educators must come to terms with boredom if we are to help solve the problem.</p>\n<p>One of the things we may not know about boredom is that it comes in many shapes and sizes which contributes to its many perceptions. Blase Pascal was right. Man has yet to find a way to stay quietly in his own chamber. We are by nature restless beings, relentlessly seeking the next quick fix to our boredom, whether it be drugs, alcohol, loveless sex, or ESL lessons. But that\'s just one way of looking at it. </p>\n<p>Another problem with boredom is that, at least from a Marxist perspective, it\'s seen as primarily an aristocratic and bourgeois phenomenon. The upper class, and to a slightly lesser extent, the middle class of any society can be found at the malls purchasing overpriced and essentially useless items simply in order to stave off any boredom that has invaded and infested every cell of their body. The same can be said about people who spend hours on end in front of their computers playing violent games, chatting provocatively to people they\'ll (hopefully) never meet, and sending spam emails to others requesting them to buy Viagra or donate money to their fictitious cause. All this because, as Pascal said, they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber. </p>\n<p>This is also the same boredom that has driven thousands of useless and desperate people to seek refuge in English language schools, simply to escape the drudgery of their domesticity. This boredom has become a huge social malaise--- perhaps a malaise of the modernity of contemporary society. This malaise of modernity--- this boredom--- where just about everything has become easy and perhaps too convenient--- is spreading like a cancer into the very heart and soul of humanity.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\"People of wealth and the so called upper class suffer the most from boredom.\"<br />\n---- Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher. (1788--1860.) </p></blockquote>\n<p>The poor, at least the real financial poor, have precious little time for social frivolities such as boredom. They\'re simply wondering where their next meal will come from. Try living on a dollar or two a day, like a billion other people in this world, and see if you have time to feel bored. But I do realize that the Marxist perspective on this issue, although valid in a sense, is also a bit simplistic. Of course poor people feel bored. Why wouldn\'t they? It\'s a human emotion we all feel from time to time, isn\'t it?</p>\n<p>When I hear of students complaining that they\'re bored, my first response, at least to myself is, \"So?\" My next response is,<br />\n\"I really don\'t care.\" Which is true. I can\'t see why I should. I can\'t see why anybody should care. Education is the solution to boredom. Education offers opportunities for the student that staying ignorant doesn\'t. It\'s that simple.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\"Work relieves us from three great evils: Boredom, vice, and want.\"<br />\n---- French proverb. </p></blockquote>\n<p>But perhaps a better response to, \"Teacher I\'m bored\", would be, \"Then get a job! Earn some money! Roll up your sleeves and get to work! Learn something! Do something! Anything! But don\'t just stand there and complain that you\'re bored. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Help an old lady cross the street. Talk to God. Make merit. Buy a beggar a meal. Anything! Go to a doctor. Increase your meds.\" Okay, I\'m getting a bit carried away. But you get my point. Doesn\'t the good book say something about idleness being the devil\'s work tools?</p>\n<p>The thing is--- and here is where I hope every language school director is listening--- students are not necessarily bored by their ESL classes or their teachers. Although certain ESL teachers and classes are boring from time to time--- they can\'t always be fun and exciting--- the vast majority of ESL students bring their boredom with them to class. And for a large number of students, boredom is the main reason--- and, at times, the ONLY reason for taking ESL classes! In other words, ESL classes and their teachers are NOT the cause of the students\' boredom. The students were bored long before they ever got to the classroom.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\"You\'ll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.\"<br />\n----Earl Nightingale, American radio announcer, author, motivator, speaker. (1921--1989.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>Boredom is not only a social and psychological problem, it is a social and psychological disease. It is tough enough for us ESL teachers to teach even under the best of circumstances, but when we are constantly faced with a multitude of lifeless, listless people, made spiritually sterile and emotionally bereft by their own hierarchical and conformist cultures, then the challenge of teaching them anything at all becomes, at the very least, a herculean task. </p>\n<p>Where there is \"an absence of a good idea\", there is also an absence of curiosity and creativity. Where there is an absence of curiosity and creativity, there is an absence of will. Now here\'s the herculean task of all ESL educators teaching in conformist and anti-individual societies: To transform and reshape societies where a great number of its people lack the basic human qualities and characteristics necessary to build great and lasting civilizations; curiosity, creativity, will, ambition, diligence, passion, desire, foresight, and a profound social and spiritual yearning for self-reliance. Great and lasting civilizations were built by people who possessed all these qualities to a greater or lesser degree. Great civilizations and societies were built by people who rolled up their sleeves and got to work--- boredom or no boredom. </p>\n<p>The point and mission of any educational endeavor--- including ESL--- is to push the process forward by improving the conditions of both the learner and the society in which the learner functions. As long as this is being done, as long as we as educators and learners continue to work together to ensure that the process is moved forward, on however small or minute scale it may be, then boredom--- and by extension--- just about all sentiment becomes a moot point. In fact, boredom, and other similar social diseases, becomes an impediment and a danger to the educational endeavor itself. </p>\n<blockquote><p>\"Lotte signed, a deep internal cadence, her face turning to the weeping window. \'I\'m bored Lulu. I\'m not a bad person, but I\'m bored. And it was a little drama for me, you and Douglas. A woman can do a lot of damage just in the name of maintaining a bit of interest in this life.\'\"<br />\n---- Lotte Gerard. (A character in David Baddiel\'s novel \"The Secret Purposes.\", 2004.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>Then there are students who say they\'re bored because they know that they can get away with murder. In the spring of 2003, I spent just over a month at an adult language school in Istanbul. I was on a tourist visa having flown there directly from Bangkok. (You can get a work visa for Turkey ONLY in your home country.) I was teaching part time--- barely 10 hours a week plus another couple of hours in something called a \"Conversation hour\" where you just sit and talk to the students. It brought back nightmares of my Korea days. </p>\n<p>Needless to say, these \"Conversation hours\" were a colossal waste of time. Several teachers, myself included, were treated by the students with, \"Teacher, this is boring. Let\'s talk about something else\", whenever they got tired with discussing a certain topic, which only took most of them about 10 minutes. It was not unheard of at this school for students to request another teacher, and get it, just because they were bored. This is what happens when you allow students to run the school where foreigners teach. </p>\n<p>When it comes to boredom, the bottom line is simple. It\'s not that I can\'t do anything with bored students. I simply won\'t. I suppose I can dance naked for them or put on a clown\'s suit and juggle balls. That may make me a better clown, but how will it make me a better teacher? A bored mind is a closed mind, and a closed mind has no place in a place of learning and instruction. Period.</p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\"Only those who want everything done for them are bored.\"<br />\n---- Billy Graham, American Evangelist. (1918--) </p></blockquote>\n<p>Students from all walks of life must come to English class for a reason. They must have a reason for being there. \"I just wanted to get out of the house,\" is not a good enough reason. \"I just want something to do until my kids get home from school,\" is not a good enough reason. \"I\'m just here because my parents want me to be here,\" is not a good enough reason. \"I\'m just here because there\'s nothing good on T.V. right now,\" is not a good enough reason.\"I\'m just here to find me a man,\" is not a good enough reason.</p>\n<p>There are several good reasons to take ESL classes: Because you want to live and work abroad; because you want to escape religious or political persecution; because you have found the love of your life and want to move to his or her country; because you\'re a single parent raising a child on your own, and you want to make a better life for both yourself and your child; or because you simply love to learn and want to better yourself as a human being. These are great reasons to take ESL classes, and these reasons, as well as many others, leaves the learner with very little room to feel bored. </p>\n<p>For the last three months I have had the pleasure of having \"Aung\" in two of my lower level classes. \"Aung\" is a young man in his 20\'s from Burma. He is living and studying here in Bangkok, but is looking forward to going home one day. I hope that one day soon he will go home to a free and democratic Burma. But I\'m glad to see that he\'s enjoying my classes and that he is not bored. (At least I don\'t think he is.) He\'s been the brightest student in both my lower level classes, and I know that he\'s there not only because he wants to be, but because he feels that if Burma is to be free one day, he has to be. Now there\'s a reason to be in an ESL class! </p>\n<p>I also have \"Yu\" in the same class. Yu is a mom and a 28 year old nurse who hasn\'t missed any of my classes. I\'m also proud of her for what she is trying to do--- carve out a better life for herself and her family--- despite the odds against her. ESL students must take their fair share of the responsibility in moving the education process forward, or else it\'s simply not going to work. </p>\n<blockquote><p>\"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.\"<br />\n---- Dale Carnegie, American author and trainer. (1888--1955.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>It is our collective responsibility as ESL teachers, educators, administrators, principals, supervisors, and language school directors to remind our students everyday of their responsibility to come to class with a purpose; with a reason for being there, far beyond the ridiculous and mundane, \"I have nothing better to do.\" We must continue to remind our students of their collective responsibility for making both themselves and their society better.</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure what happened to \"Thanya\", the 23 year old who dropped out of my writing class because she was bored. I do know that she was an only child, that her parents bought her a car, and that she had a cell phone far more expensive than mine. I also know that when she complained to one of the AUA managers about her boredom in my writing class, it wasn\'t taken too seriously. I\'m glad that Tanya\'s complaint wasn\'t taken too seriously. There\'s only so much we ESL teachers can do (and should do) for someone so easily bored by life\'s circumstances.</p>\n<p>I can still remember my paternal grandfather Fred, who left his small Romanian village to come to Canada in 1928. He had very little with him except a strong desire and a deep determination to carve out a life for himself in the new world. He married and had four children, one of which became my father. Grandfather Fred worked extremely hard, six sometimes seven days a week, holding down two full time jobs and, at times, taking on extra work when required. Eventually his family did achieve middle class status, a status that I enjoyed throughout my life as well. But I have never forgotten how hard my grandparents had to work to make that happen. </p>\n<p>I wonder if Thanya, and others like her, are aware of how hard their ancestors struggled in what is still a third world country. I wonder if Thanya, and the others like her who have reached the \'upper-middleclass\' of their society, can still see the dire poverty of all those around them. Or have they shut themselves out to whatever they don\'t care to see? Her English was good, very good. And I not only wonder why she needed to learn English, but IF she needed to learn English.</p>\n<p>Connecting the individual\'s need to learn English to that of the greater good is one of the reasons why we\'re here. An ESL teacher must see the relationship between the individual\'s desire to improve himself and the societies need to better itself. This is the definite and clear link that binds us all to our goals and mission. ESL students must see and feel this as well. They must see and feel how the betterment of their lives will contribute to the overall improvement of their society. And language school directors and managers must also see this connection so that when a students walks into their office complaining that they are bored, the appropriate response will be, </p>\n<p>\"(Student\'s name), you have an amazing opportunity here. Not only will you learn something, but you have the added opportunity (and responsibility) to take your new-found knowledge and transform your society, making it a far better place to live not only for you and your family, but for many others around you. Life offers us so few of these pivotal moments. Let\'s not forget that there are others out there not as fortunate as yourself. So let\'s take this opportunity, (student\'s name), and make a difference.\"</p>\n<p>There you have it. I said my piece about boredom in the ESL classroom.

I have a problem with middle-aged women, especially middle-aged Asian women. Although I\'ve met a few nice ones in my 46 years on earth, most of them come across as angry, bitter, sexually frustrated hags who take their frustrations out on the western men they come across in their country probably because their younger Asian counterparts have already got what they don\'t have. </p>\n<p>Personally I don\'t care about middle-aged Asian women. I try to stay away from them as much as I can. But occasionally, (and unfortunately), I do run into a few of them from time to time, either currently in some of my classes, or in the past with old ESL jobs and job interviews. </p>\n<p>I have another confession to make. I\'m going through a bit of a crisis right now. Please don\'t worry. It\'s nothing too big. It\'s a personal AND professional crisis. I\'ve allowed some of my bad past ESL experiences to intrude on my present teaching. And that\'s not good. At least that\'s what I\'m learning. The demons of bad past ESL experiences should not and cannot intrude on the present. So I must deal with them, one slow and painful step at a time. </p>\n<p>PREAMBLE:<br />\n-------------------</p>\n<p>There\'s been so many bad experiences, I don\'t know where to start. Forget the times I was ripped off hundreds of dollars from unscrupulous Korean hagwon owners and Taiwanese recruiters. That might take too long and it\'s another column entirely. I\'m still trying to forget the time when one of the nine million Mr. Kims barged into my class and, in front of the students, told me in Korean what a horrible teacher I was. But he didn\'t stop there. He insisted that I change my character, and wasn\'t I ashamed of myself for accepting his money? (No I wasn\'t.) The only thing stopping me from strangling him to death at the time was the fact that he still owed me $1,500 U.S. I did receive it, and three days later I was on the next plane out of that armpit of a country. Since then I\'ve spent most of my time in Thailand and \"I haven\'t looked back?\" </p>\n<p>That\'s not quite right. I have looked back. And I am looking back now. It\'s funny how the past likes to creep in on the present. If you don\'t deal with those demons..... well, you know what can happen.</p>\n<p>Bored, lonely, and sexually frustrated middle-aged women are only a part of the ESL problem. Greedy, reptilian Korean language school owners are another part of the ESL problem. We are all a part of the ESL problem. Students, teachers, administrators, government officials, immigration. All of us are to blame. And all of us have a stake in fixing the problem. </p>\n<p>Even here in Thailand it is all too common for schools to hire western teachers without preparing the proper documents for a work visa and a teacher\'s license. It\'s irrelevent that the school can get into more trouble than the teacher. More often than not, the school will buy their way out of it. This is Thailand. </p>\n<p>The classroom is where we make our living. It\'s the students. They will either make us or break us. It\'s bad enough to have kids kick and spit at their foreign teachers. Afterall, they\'re just kids. And being strangers in a strange land there is almost nothing we can do about that. Kids mimic what their parents do. If the parents don\'t like foreigners, their kids sure as hell won\'t. I\'ve thought for a while that there\'s no such thing as bad kids, only bad parents. Or bad parenting. This is evident in any ESL classroom where kids are involved.</p>\n<p>HUMAN FILTH and ESL UNPROFESSIONALISM:<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>I\'ve been thinking recently about a lot of the classes I\'ve had over the years. A kids class, where the Korean teacher before me, a vociferous Christian convert, named all the students after Biblical characters. Both from the Old and New Testaments. In that class we had Solomon, Mary, Joseph, Luke, Matthew, Rachel, Moses, and yes, even Jesus! Diciplining the little buggers was quite a challenge. I found myself saying things like, \"Hey Jesus, stop pulling Mary Magdalene\'s hair!\" \"Judas, stop punching Moses!\" \"Solomon, stop poking the virgin Mary with your pencil!\" After a few days of that nonsense, I had to change their names.</p>\n<p>Most of the adult classes weren\'t any better. Once I had two students try to convert me to Christianity. They even came to class with a Bible. They failed. Then there was Steve Kim, the millionaire businessman/viagra popper/Russian hooker patron. He claimed to be worth over 20 million U.S. dollars. He\'d come to class and want to talk about nothing else but his four hour erections and his nightly romps with Russian \"Natashas.\" \"They have good technique\", he would say. He walked with a permanent limp because-- legend has it--- he once took too much viagra. It caused a stroke, hence the limp. No one knows for sure how much viagra he really took that night. </p>\n<p>Then there was Miss Park, the 51 year old virgin still living with her mother. How do I know this? Because she told me. Flat out. And she seemed to be proud of it too. Then there were the housewives in Seoul--- the \"Rich Bitches of Gangnam\" as I used to call them. These 40 to 50 year olds, with far too much time on their hands, would come to class and demand to play games and talk about every useless thing imaginable like cooking, shopping and makeup. And I had to sit there and listen to them like I was really interested in what they had to say. And then I had to respond. Express some witty and intelligent remark about cooking, shopping or makeup that I knew nothing about. These useless things would walk into class wearing rings on their fingers the size of frying pans and makeup so thick that whenever they smiled, a chunk of it would almost fall off their face. They were loud, brash, obnoxious, rude, bored and as dumb as dirt. One of them paid $50.00 U.S. an hour for private ping-pong lessons. Another had an American \"boy-toy\" that she loved to talk about. All this in an ESL classroom. </p>\n<p>I\'ve had adult students come to class so drunk, they barely made it to their seats. One time--- another one of the nine million Mr. Kims--- fell down twice in an awful attempt to find his chair. You could smell the soju on his breath all the way from the bar. That particular class was on pet-peeves, so I was stupid enough to ask him what his pet peeve was. It took him a while to comprehend the question through his inebriated haze. Then he looked around the room and to no one in particular said, \"Women who piss in public.\" ESL classroom or an AA meeting gone horrible awry? Take your pick. </p>\n<p>In another class, I attempted to connect with the students by showing them photographs of my family for the first 15--20 minutes, only to have three women complain to the director that \"We\'re not interested in teacher Steve\'s family.\" I was never so hurt and insulted in my life. I refused to step back into that class until I received an apology from each of those students. The following day, I did receive an apology. </p>\n<p>Then there were the \"Stupid Questions\" classes. I learned a long time ago never to ask my adult students at the end of class, \"So, any questions?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes teacher. Are there any bananas in Canada? What\'s this bone in my wrist called? Are their any pineapples in Canada? Why is it called a hamburger when there\'s no ham in it? What color is your blood? Do people in Canada have cell phones? Why are there so many guns in America? Is it true that everyone in Canada has an airplane? I heard that Canada is so big that everyone has to fly to work. Is that true? How often do people in the west have sex? Is it true that western people can have sex whenever they want? Are hot dogs really made from dogs?\" And my personal favorite, \"How can I get a green card for America?\"</p>\n<p>\"I\'m from Canada.\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh. So what color are the cards in Canada?\"</p>\n<p>I\'m not joking. These were just some of the studid questions I\'ve been asked from \"adult\" Koreans in various ESL classes. You would think with the huge influx of western English teachers coming to their shores that most of the local ESL students would have more intelligent questions to ask us, but I guess we\'re not yet at that evolutionary stage. I\'m still waiting for my Thai students to ask, \"Teacher, are there any clowns and jugglers in Piccadilly Circus?\" </p>\n<p>These were not ESL classrooms where students learn the English they need to succeed in an ever increasing competitive world. It WAS a circus; a bloody freak show! \"Hurry! Hurry! Come see the 51 year old virgin in Steve\'s class! See the man who once took too much viagra! Watch him limp! See the 50 year old housewife with nine inch make-up! Hurry, hurry!\" These people made Michael Jackson look normal. The Neverland Ranch was the bloody Brady Bunch compared to these folks.</p>\n<p>There was a teacher I used to work with in Korea. A wise woman who really liked to talk with her students. She\'d talk about anything and everything. The middle-aged women loved her. They loved her so much that they began to confide in her. They began to talk about their personal problems at home. How their husbands were horrible lovers. How they came home drunk and beat them. How they puked all over the floor and expected them to clean it up, night after night. How they cheated on them. These middle-aged women expected this foreign teacher to help them with their problems--- sexual and otherwise. \"Teacher, how can I have an orgasm? Teacher, why doesn\'t my husband love me anymore? Teacher, why do I never feel horny?\" And on and on it went. Interesting stuff from an anthropological point of view. It would be both compelling and entertaining if it were on the National Geographic Channel. But what in the world does this have to do with ESL teaching and professionalism? </p>\n<p>Even after all these years, I still can\'t help but wonder why we put up with all this nonsense, this garbage, this unprofessionalism, this never ending procession of human filth we call ESL. </p>\n<p>Teachers are just as much to blame. I was at one adult school in Taiwan where a few foreign English teachers where found--- on videotape--- having sex with the school secretaries in the classrooms! That course must have been called Full Frontal English, (FFE.) Unfortunately, I left that school before it became public news. Some teachers like to talk openly about how many students they\'ve slept with--- like this kind of behavior will help them to become better teachers. </p>\n<p>School owners, directors, and administrators are just as much to blame. Just look at most of the advertisements for ESL teachers in the newspapers and on websites. In most cases you still need nothing more than an undergraduate degree and presto, you\'re an English teacher. Just speak English and you can teach English. Nobody in their right mind would think that they can be a doctor because they\'ve watched all ten seasons of ER. No rational thinking person can claim that they are a lawyer just because they\'ve never missed an episode of Ally McBeal. That would be nonsense. So what makes anyone think that just because a person can speak a language, they can teach a language? Who\'s fault is that? The teachers? Maybe. The school owners? Most probably. Some greedy Korean hagwon owner offers a 24 year old newbie two million won a month, a free return airplane ticket, and a rent-free apartment within walking distance of the school and we\'re supposed to say, \"Well, that\'s a sweet offer Mr. Kim, but I must respectfully decline because I\'m inexperienced, quite naive, and not TESOL certified.\" Right! Like that\'s ever going to happen. </p>\n<p>Thailand has some great teacher training schools, as does other countries, but most places, (I hesitate to call them schools), will accept just about anyone, anytime, anywhere. Most students know this. Why should I learn anything from this person, they may ask themselves. Afterall, they haven\'t been trained for anything. Fresh off the boat, they are. So let\'s talk about four hour erections, viagra and Russian hookers. Let\'s talk about how my husband\'s a terrible lover. Let\'s play scrabble. You\'re not a real teacher anyway. So forget teaching. Forget your lesson plan. Let\'s go out and get drunk together.</p>\n<p>My mind is going back to a time--- almost two years ago--- when I was told just that. Global Language School in Korea, and that reptilian brained director Mr. Kim. I was preparing lessons for my evening classes. You don\'t have to do that, he told me through his translator. The students want to drink with you. They want to see you after class. They want to be friends with you. How will that unprofessionalism help to make me a better teacher, I asked. He didn\'t understand the question. How could he? Mr. Kim and his ilk are light years away from ESL professionalism. That was the same Mr. Kim who looked at my TESOL certificate and couldn\'t figure out what the hell it was. Even after I tried to explain it to him. I refused to get drunk with any of the students. I was tired, and I just wanted to go home. That was the same Mr. Kim who made up his mind that day to replace me. It was the same Mr. Kim who burst into my classroom soon after that and called me a horrible teacher; told me how I had to change my character. And wasn\'t I ashamed to accept his money. (No I wasn\'t.) But I still regret not putting his head through a wall when I had the chance. Fifteen hundred U.S. dollars or not. </p>\n<p>So after that reptile decided to replace me, he began pulling students out of my classes. How did I know this? Because the stupid reptile told me. I thought I was just being paranoid. I thought the students really hated my classes. But he told me flat out: \"I put no more students in your class!\" So for a week I would sit there with one student, or two students, or no students in my classes. (Thank God I had a book to read.) Then he would come in and ask me, \"Where are the students?\" He would send his stupid little minion of a secretary to peer into the window of the classroom and report back to him. I had no doubt that after a week or two of his childish games, he\'d tire of it, come into the classroom one final time and say, \"Sorry kid. You have no more students. So we have to replace you.\" But he never got the chance to finish his little game. I collected my final pay, and off I went.</p>\n<p>One of the ugly truths about the ESL world is that there are thousands and thousands of others out there in ESL land just like me going through similar experiences--- or worse. After that horrible experience with that reptile Mr. Kim, I went to Pattaya. I spent the next six weeks getting drunk every day and having nightmares about it for three months every night. I thought that I had buried that ghost. But I guess not. I thought that I had a handle on it, but maybe I don\'t. If you don\'t bury the ghosts of the past, they will come back to haunt you. </p>\n<p>My current school, AUA, unlike most schools in the ESL world, has a policy about teachers inappropriately socializing with the students. The key word here is \"inappropriately.\" Sharing a meal with the class at the end of the term is fine, I suppose. Taking her back to your place and dropping your pants is not. After so many times being told that I had to socialize with the students, or else. After so many times being told that I must drink with the students and talk about whatever they wanted to talk about, it\'s quite a relief to know that I could just teach. No childish games of pulling students out of my classes because I refuse to get drunk with them. No stupid, leering secretaries counting my students and reporting it back to the director. And no director bursting into my classroom and yelling at me about what a horrible teacher I am--- regardless of whether or not it\'s true. </p>\n<p>The truth is--- even if we don\'t want to see it and admit it--- adult ESL classrooms the world over are full of losers, loners, social outcasts, social retards, neurotics, psychotics, perverts, fruitcakes, and nutcases. Adult ESL classrooms the world over consist of a preponerance of men who are really little boys, women who are really little girls, wife beaters, wife cheaters, wife swappers, men who like little boys, boys who like big men, rapists, drunks, drug abusers, peodophiles, and sons and daughters abused in countless ways by their parents. The ESL classroom has been used for every conceivable purpose. To play games; to meet women; to meet men; to meet kids; to flirt; to cheat on your spouse; to fall in love; to have sex. The ESL classroom the world over has been used for just about everything--- except for its intended purpose: To learn English. </p>\n<p>Another ugly truth about the ESL world is that the locals can say whatever they like to you because they know that you must sit there and take it. They can insult you, your family, your culture, your religion. They can call you and your class boring at will. They can tell you that you\'re overweight, ugly, that your eyes are too big, your ears are too small, your nose is too long, your hair is too short, too long, too gray. They can ask you what religion you are and how much money you make. </p>\n<p>Greedy, ignorant, and racist school directors, and administrators have created an environment where ESL students can get away with asking and saying just about anything to their foreign teachers, all under the guise of education and learning. We ESL teachers are partly to blame for this as well. With our timidity and our reluctance to stand up in the face of this nonsense and injustice, we help to perpetuate a situation where we are actually afraid to really teach our students anything for fear of them complaining. If the students behaved this way in the presence of their own local teachers, they would be whacked in the head with a stick! It\'s that simple. </p>\n<p>Just pay your Baht, Yen, Won, Yuan, Peso, or Riggit, and you too can play scrabble, poker, rummy, blackjack, word-up, yahtzy, musical chairs, hangman, bingo, and what\'s my line? The ESL classroom the world over is seen and treated as the ultimate social hub. Just pay your money and make believe you\'re in a bar, a pub, a brothel, a gameroom, a karaoke lounge, a gambling den. Yes, we have every imaginable variation of human slime invading and conquering ESL schools and classrooms, or what passes for schools. ESL teachers the world over are forced to play the clown, the buffoon, the idiot, the fool, the jokester, the jester, the boob, the psychologist, and the priest, just so we could keep the students happy, jolly, elated, ecstatic, jubilant, merry, and mirthful. </p>\n<p>That reptilian director Mr. Kim gave the students a free pass to go to any class they wanted. No level testing. If they didn\'t like your class, they got up, walked out and went into another class. Just like that. Right in the middle of a sentence. It worked both ways. I also got students from other classes. Students who think with their feet. Now there\'s a novel idea in the ESL world. I was told that this was a \"selling point.\" I tried to explain that it\'s not a selling point, but a selling OUT point. Students need structure. They need to be advised of their level and what their responsibilities are. Otherwise, nothing works. </p>\n<p>And we are all suppose to relate to each other, like one big happy family. Do we honestly think that by playing scrabble, poker, or anything else, that we are changing ONE life? Does anybody honestly believe that by catering to the students\' every whim and fantasy that we are helping anyone to become better people--- including ourselves? Where is the connection here between US as ESL professionals and TESOL providers, and THEM as ESL learners? </p>\n<p>\"That was a great game of gin rummy, teacher. Now I can go home and make love to my wife instead of my mistress. Thank you for changing my life.\"</p>\n<p>\"Thanks for that wonderful game of scrabble, teacher. Now I can go home and finally have that orgasm I\'ve been thinking of.\"</p>\n<p>\"Another great bingo lesson, teacher. Now I can give up drinking forever!\"</p>\n<p>Who are we kidding?</p>\n<p>CREATING and MAINTAINING PROFESSIONALISM in the ESL CLASSROOM:<br />\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>To have any legitimacy, to be considered a profession with all of the benefits and responsibilities that real professions have, ESL/EFL/TEFL/TESOL must be,</p>\n<p>1) Process and results driven<br />\n2) Individually liberating for both teachers and students, and<br />\n3) Socially transformative</p>\n<p>It must give students alternatives. It must give them clear and unambivalent choices. It must show them a better way. It cannot, under any circumstances, be a free-for-all. If we are to become ESL professionals, we cannot tolerate useless ramblings about four hour erections, viagra and Russian hookers by bored and horny millionaires. We cannot give into the frivolous whims of bored and lonely housewives who frequent ESL classes simply to escape the drudgery of their days. That will contribute to nothing more that the drudgery of OUR days. If we are to become ESL professionals, we cannot tolerate for one second the rude, vulgar, uncouth, uncivil and ill-bred behavior of some of the locals who would like nothing more than to turn the ESL classroom into their own personal playpen.</p>\n<p>ESL professionals must maintain a higher profile than your average backpacker who is simply posing as a teacher. It is an extremely important and intrinsic part of our profession. There is a very specific social dynamic at work in every teacher/student interaction. An ESL teacher--- like any other teacher--- must always be in a position of respect and authority. Sleeping with your students changes that. Becoming \"chummy\" with your students outside of class changes that. Acquiesing to the students\' demands, requests or frivolous and perverted fancies for discussions about viagra and Russian hookers drastically alters the social dynamics of the teacher/student relationship, and puts into disrepute the very important role that teachers play in their attempts to personally liberate their students and to transform the very society in which we teach and live.</p>\n<p>WE WORK FOR THE ROOM.<br />\n------------------------------------------ </p>\n<p>In education, especially in the ESL world, we\'ve been experimenting for far too long as to exactly what the ESL classroom should be. We\'ve been bouncing back and forth between two extremes: The \"teacher centered\" classroom and the \"student centered\" classroom. Neither one works. </p>\n<p>A \"teacher centered classroom\", where the teacher becomes the center of attention, is too authoritarian and autocratic. It creates and perpetuates a sort of master/slave relationship between the teacher and students. It also stiffles any potential creativity and imagination that the students have. With a good teacher, a teacher centered classroom can be results driven, but the process and the enjoyment of learning can get lost in the shuffle.</p>\n<p>A \"student centered\" classroom is too liberal and lenient. It becomes the free-for-all that I\'ve been railing about. It\'s reminiscent of the California \"permissiveness\" experiments on children in the 1960\'s and 70\'s where parents allowed their children to virtually raise themselves by allowing them to eat and do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. We\'re still feeling the repercussions of a whole generation of 300 pound idiots and their 250 pound descendants. A student centered classroom, without teacher control and guidance, is like handing a 10 year old the keys to the Oldsmobile. Here kid, teach yourself to drive. I can\'t be bothered. It excuses us from any responsibility we have, or think we have, towards our students. It smacks of experimental, altra-liberal, artsy-fartsy, mumbo-jumbo California crap. Student centered learning is just another buzz phrase. It has to be called something, I suppose. It didn\'t work in the 60\'s and it doesn\'t seem to be working now. So let\'s heed the message. </p>\n<p>We put students into small groups and hope that something actually gets accomplished. But without teacher guidance and support, without a controlled learning environment, students will just sit in a small circle and look at each other like they\'re on a bad first date. Instead of admitting that we really have absolutely no idea what in the world we\'re doing, vis-a-vis ESL students and the classroom, we experiment with the very same people we\'re responsible for, like rats in a laboratory. With the absense of a teacher, or direct teacher involvement, a student centered classroom becomes only process driven. It may be fun for the students, but the class lacks direction and, as a result, not much of anything will be accomplished.</p>\n<p>There is a third way; an alternative to the two extremes. It\'s called an ESL \"classroom centered\" learning. Actually, it\'s not a third way at all. It\'s always been there, but we\'ve have rarely bothered to use it. ESL \"classroom centered\" learning, for lack of a better term, doesn\'t put the teacher at center stage. It also doesn\'t allow the students to do and talk about whatever they like either. It brings the classroom back to where it belongs: The pinnacle of learning. We all work for the room. The classroom. ESL \"classroom centered\" learning puts the classroom at the centerpoint of the learning process, and brings back the dignity and integrity that the classroom rightly deserves and has always had in years gone by.</p>\n<p>In years gone by, people used to learn in temples, churches, and synogogues. No one would dare think of using the temple or church or synogogue to play poker, or talk about Russian hookers. No one would dare walk into a temple or church or synogogue wearing a mini-skirt or torn jeans. No one would dare say to a Monk or a Priest or a Rabbi, \"Hey man, you\'re boring. Let\'s play games.\" </p>\n<p>No one whould dare do that because the temple or church or synogogue are places where people go to reflect on our past errors and mistakes, and to look ahead as to how we\'re going to correct our errors and mistakes. It is a room of ultimate respect, repute, honor, and esteem. It is a room for spiritual renewal. It is a room to go to when we want to know who we really are and where we came from. </p>\n<p>The ESL classroom must also be thought of and treated with that same respect, honor, and esteem. We must stand together in awe of the room. All of us. From teachers, students, school directors, supervisiors, and administrators. We must stand in awe of the world maps on the walls, the books on the shelves, the pens and pencils on the desks. We work for the room. All of us. We stand in awe because the room is a place of learning. We stand in awe because the room is a place of spiritual renewal. We stand in awe because the room is a place where great personal journeys begin. We work for the room. All of us.</p>\n<p>A judge will hold anyone in contempt of court who disrespects the courtroom. You wouldn\'t dare walk into a courtroom wearing a mini-skirt or torn jeans, would you? You would be distrespecting the room and the whole process of jurisprudence. A judge, a lawyer, a baliff, the stenographer; they all work for the room--- the courtroom.</p>\n<p>The room demands and commands respect from all of us. And when we give it the respect it rightly deserves, it gives us what we need a hundred times over. Working for the room liberates us, it frees us from every constraint we believe ourselves to be in because if gives clear and powerful choices. With its immense knowledge and wisdom, the room gives us ideas and the power to transform our lives. The room is both process driven and results driven. The classroom helps all us to become better than who we now are because we respect it and treat it with the dignity it rightly deserves. All of us work for the room.</p>\n<p>MY CRISIS:<br />\n----------------</p>\n<p>So here I am, at a crossroad in my teaching. A couple of columns back I talked about a wall that I built some years back to protect me from the bad experiences of my ESL past. At times it has served me well. And at times, it has gotten me into a bit of trouble. I feel it\'s time for a part of that wall to come down. I\'ve developed an aloof and standoffish approach to teaching, and consequently, I\'m not relating to many of my students now as well as I once did. So a part of the wall must come down. But how much of it? I don\'t know. And that\'s what scares me. If I don\'t take down enough of it, both myself and my students will become frustrated by a lack of progress and connection. If I take down too much of the wall, am I inviting some of the same bad experiences that I suffered in the past? </p>\n<p>I suppose I can rely on teaching talent alone--- assuming I have any--- and continue the aloof and standoffish approach in hopes that the bad experiences will stay away. But who am I really fooling? Do I honestly think that I can develop into the kind of teacher I truly want to be, and that the students deserve to have, by using only a third or 50% of my potential? </p>\n<p>In the past I went through a lot of these experiences alone. Most of the ESL world doesn\'t give a crap about teacher\'s problems, crisis, and development. Just keep the students happy and coming back for more, is all most local school directors care about.</p>\n<p>But this time I\'ve been truly fortunate to have been offered the time, attention, and the vast knowledge and wisdom of some truly remarkable people. Dr. Dee Parker and John Whenshall are two people that come to mind. They have helped me and stuck with me, and for that I\'m more than greatful. I have also been given the opportunity to speak to and observe other teachers in action, great teachers that I am learning so much from. Peter Filichetti, Dave Scholz, Mike Dupre, Greg McDonald, and Benny White are just a few. Thanks a lot guys.</p>\n<p>I\'ll solve this crisis. I\'ll bury the demons of my ESL past. And with the help and guidance of some truly remarkable people, I just may become the teacher I was really meant to be. But a very ugly fact remains. There are literally thousands and thousands of other ESL teachers out there going through this very thing, and right now, they are not as fortunate as I am. </p>\n<p>The Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Thai, and other local school owners and<br />\ndirectors in this part of the world are neither prepared nor interested in helping us through a teaching problem or a professional and personal crisis. Although it is certainly in their interest as business people, psychologically and emotionally many of them are still children themselves, and are light years away from developing anything resembling the kind of pathos and empathy required to relate to their employees as equal partners in the eventual success of their school. Those in power and authority in this part of the world have neither an inkling nor a clue as to how to relate to their own people, let alone western English teachers, except as subordinates and inferiors. This is the kiss of death for any westerner who happens to be in a typical and traditional Asian school. And unless this changes, thousands and thousands of our fellow western English teachers will continue to be harrassed and abused at the hands of these brutal, dictatorial, and childish directors. </p>\n<p>But this is highly unlikely. It is highly unlikely that some greedy Asian language school owner will tell the students, \"Look, John here has worked very hard getting his TESOL certificate. He doesn\'t want to play scrabble all the time or talk about Russian hookers. So knock it off!\" It\'s a pipe dream that some greedy Asian language school owner will sit down with his western English teachers and say, \"So Peter, Paul, and Mary, I truly understand the wall you\'ve built around yourselves. Some of our students can be very difficult. And I want to help you in any way I can. Remember, we\'re all in this together. We\'re all in the same boat. We\'re all equals.\" Ya, right.</p>\n<p>So it\'s up to us to stick together. It\'s up to us to get each other through the tough and difficult times. I like what some athletes say when they are faced with tough times. \"Tough times don\'t last long; people do.\" I\'ve spoke about this in past columns: Our intense need as ESL teachers to contribute something positive to the ESL experience and to make a difference. That is the common thread that binds the ESL and TESOL community together. If ESL teachers cannot accomplish this, or, for some reason, are not allowed to contribute something positive to the TESOL experience, then our disillusionment alone will contribute to a huge turnover rate in the ESL world, which, by the way, we have had since our profession began. </p>\n<p>The past must not be allowed to intrude on the present or dictate the future. This is another tough lesson I\'m learning. How much of our past to remember, and how much of it to forget. Or, at least, bury and try to forget. This is something we all must come to terms with in our own way. </p>\n<p>A new day has begun. And with it, another chance. Another opportunity to knock down one more brick. One painful but necessary brick at a time. </p>','','2005-06-30 19:48:19',1,'2005-06-30 19:48:19','2018-04-15 03:03:14'),(109,4,'Why don\'t we ever learn?','why-dont-we-ever-learn','ESL teachers, bar girls and the sex industry','I hoped that I would never feel the need to write about bar girls or the sex industry, but these two stories stood out for the simple reason that both of them involved ESL teachers living and teaching in Bangkok.

I make this bold statement because of two stories I recently read in the Nation newspaper here in Bangkok. An editorial, \"When will we face up to the sex industry?\" and \"A tale of woe and the Thai justice system\", a letter to the editor. Both were published in the May 15, 2005 edition.</p>\n<p>I hoped that I would never feel the need to write about bar girls or the sex industry, but these two stories stood out for the simple reason that both of them involved ESL teachers living and teaching in Bangkok. The editorial mentioned an \"American citizen who teaches at a well-known school who has allegedly been buying sex from two boys under 18.\"</p>\n<p>The \"tale of woe\" from the letters to the editor page was quite a classic. It told the story of a 63 year old ESL teacher who has been living here in Bangkok for four years. During that time he met a bar girl and decided to go into business with her and her policeman \"brother.\" (I put \"brother\" in quotation marks, because some of us who have spent more than a small amount of time in the red-light districts know that bar girls have an unusually exorbitant amount of \"brothers.\")</p>\n<p>Anyway, this ESL teacher, (maybe I should put ESL teacher in quotation marks too), buys this bar girl a 375,000 Baht pick-up truck for the business they were going to start only to have her and her \"brother\" take off with the vehicle. Now he\'s spending God knows how much more money trying to get the truck back along with some of his dignity. Would the same man spend $10,000 purchasing a truck for an American or a British hooker? Who knows? But it\'s an interesting question.</p>\n<p>One of these stories is a tragedy. One thousand or ten thousand of these stories is merely a statistic. And in Thailand, there are many statistics. I wish the man luck in getting his money, (and dignity), back. But I doubt if it\'s ever going to happen. When will we ever learn? Don\'t we foreigners realize by now that, in the minds of many Thais-- bar girls and non-bar girls alike--- we are here for one reason and one reason alone: To support them and their whole family so that they don\'t have to support themselves. Such is the evil and pernicious nature of the mass tourism industry. </p>\n<p>This industry has created a whole Thai subclass numbering in the hundreds of thousands--- perhaps millions--- who do little else but wait for ten million foreigners to pour into this beautiful country every year so that they can attempt to milk us out of every baht, dollar, euro, pound, yen, won, yuan, or peso. Mass tourism has created and is perpetuating a sick and perverted cycle of mutual dependence between the tourists and the locals. As TEFL/TESL providers and professionals, it should be our role and mission to break this cycle of pathological dependence. The choice is very clear: You either work to help solve the problem, or you contibute to it.</p>\n<p>As for that pervert ESL teacher who allegedly molested two boys, (and others of his ilk), what else can be said but those who partake in the sexual exploitation of children, whether in Thailand or elsewhere, whether the perpetrator is Thai or a foreigner, should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The editorial in the newspaper, and so much of the vast amount of other literature that\'s out there on this issue, point to many factors for the continued existence of the Thai sex industry. Police corruption, the apathy of ordinary Thais, and the hypocrisy of the government are all cited as contibuting factors. Fair enough. But these excuses for the perpetuation of the Thai sex industry only begin to scratch the surface. No one seems to want to talk about the real reason why the Thai sex industry is so big and pervasive.</p>\n<p>The real reason why the sex industry continues to exist, (and thrive), lies squarely on the laps of Thai mothers. Now I fully realize that any criticism of Thai mothers is tantamount to burning the flag, but so be it. Those who have lived here for any length of time know that the sex industry can be stopped dead in its tracks almost immediately if certain Thai mothers would stop sending their 14, 15, and 16 year old daughters to Patpong and Pattaya. These girls don\'t arrive in the red-light districts on their own. Someone sends them there. Someone in a position of authority and, supposedly, in a position of trust. Isarn, and other impoverished parts of Thailand, are replete with hundreds of thousands of uneducated, unethical, whiskey swilling, buffalo herding peasants who wouldn\'t think twice about sending their \"cherished\" daughters and sisters--- the very future of this country--- to Patpong and Pattaya so that daddy, brother number one, and mommy can spend their days drinking and enjoying the latest Thai soap operas on that new 42 inch plasma television that was paid for by, you guessed it, a member of the Thai sex tourist industry! </p>\n<p>Some may see this as a financial problem, a problem of poverty. It is not. It is a social problem. A lack of morality and ethics within the population that was strengthened and fortified by a relentless mass tourism industry which really doesn\'t care about improving the lives of the locals.<br />\nOthers may also see this as an economic phenomenon, purely supply and demand. And a demand will always be met with a steady supply. They opine that once the demand is eliminated, the supply side of the problem will disappear as well. But trying to tackle an economic problem by attempting to eliminate the demand first is not the way to go. Although the demand is a part of the problem, it is not the root cause. And until you get to the root cause of the problem, you will never solve it. This problem must be chocked to death at the source, the supply side of the Thai sex industry. But this will never happen. Why? Let\'s check the facts.</p>\n<p>Too many people are benefiting. That\'s a fact. No one really knows how many Thai girls are involved in the sex industry, but the figure of about 500,000 keeps being thrown around by NGO\'s and academic researchers. In my opinion, it\'s probably a conservative estimate, but let\'s go with that. Now the money that bar girls earn is shared by a great many people--- all of her \"brothers.\" Bar girls usually come from big rural families--- at least five or six in each family. A half a million multiplied by five or six gives us two and a half to three million people who live off the money of sex tourists. And this doesn\'t even include the bar owners and their families, the mamasans and their families, the police taking bribes and their families, and government officials and their families! </p>\n<p>So even with a conservative estimate we can plainly see that so many people--- from greedy and morally challenged Isarn mothers, to the police and government officials and millions in between--- the Thai sex industry, based on mass tourism, has, for the last 30 years, kept millions of Thais from developing a work ethic that would have taken them out of the third world and put them squarely into the developing world. This industry has, in three short decades, taken a once proud and very self-sufficient people and turned them into indolent corpses. Certainly not something to be proud of.</p>\n<p>All of this raises an interesting question for me. It is expected that newspaper editorialists and politicians will, from time to time, comment on the sex industry and the bar girl scene. Afterall, they have newspapers to sell and voters to win over. Their \"anger\" at the current situation--- if there is any--- is not at all surprising. Paying lip service to this problem is what politicians and newspaper editorialists are suppose to do. But what about the ordinary Thais? The ones that are not involved in this industry. Where is their anger? </p>\n<p>I love to roam the bookstores looking at the latest farang \"sex-pat\" novels. And I admit I\'ve read quite a few of them. Same old stuff. \"Fat, stupid farang meets beautiful bar girl; fat, stupid farang falls in love with beautiful bar girl; fat, stupid farang loses all his money to beautiful bar girl.\" And on and on it goes. They do make for interesting reading sitting on the beach in Pattaya. But have you noticed that each and every one of these books were written by us westerners. Why is that? Where is the rage and fury and indignation of ordinary Thais? Where are the books by the Thai poets, philosophers, and writers lamenting the fact that for the last 30 years their beautiful country has been turned into the world\'s biggest whorehouse? You would think that there would be a lot of anger about that from the locals--- especially those who aren\'t benefiting in some way from the sex tourism industry. This lack of anger amounst the Thais seems a terrible tragedy to me. To watch your country go from self-sufficiency to pathological dependence on fat, horny foreigners can\'t be easy. </p>\n<p>Thais aren\'t dumb. They\'re not stupid. Many of them have been made solely and completely dependent upon mass tourism for their financial survival, so they are not about to bite the foreign hands that feed and clothe them. A<br />\nperfect example of how mass tourism is ruining the lives of the locals by making them financially dependent upon foreigners is the island of Phuket. Eighty percent (80%) of the local population cannot survive without a steady supply of tourists, according to the Phuket Tourist Association. The recent tsumani has made it all too obvious that Phuket, and other parts of Thailand, are one-horse towns. Diversifying the economy is one of the obvious solutions.</p>\n<p>The politicians and newspaper editorialists know this. They also know that in the west, money talks. But in Thailand, money screams! Perhaps the screams of the money hungry in this society drown out the screams of the moral and ethical. This may be the only society in the world where a man can stand up and proudly shout, \"Yeah! My girlfriend\'s<br />\na prostitute!\"</p>\n<p>If selling your 15 or 16 year old daughter or sister into prostitution is acceptable behavior in Thailand, then what in the world would be considered UNacceptable? If it\'s okay for hundreds of thousands of Thai men to live off the sex money of their sisters and daughters, then what on earth can be deemed immoral? I\'m asking these questions because no ordinary Thais seem to be standing up and shouting from the rooftops that this is wrong! </p>\n<p>What does all this have to do with ESL and teaching English in Thailand? A lot, actually. Remember, the original two stories from the Nation newspaper involved ESL teachers. </p>\n<p>I must admit that I have been truly blessed living here in Bangkok and working at AUA. Most of my students are fantastic. About 70% of them have consistently been women. And that\'s significant because most of the young women here have been left behind in Thailand\'s attempt to modernize. The choices for young Thai women today are as stark as they are clear. Get an education, (if you\'re lucky), and work in an office or a factory for $200.00 a month, (again, if you\'re lucky), or sell your body to foreigners for $1,000.00 a month. Quite a choice! </p>\n<p>I\'m very proud of my students who work hard in and out of class. I feel a deep and profound responsibility for them. Some of these young women will succeed not because of their society, but in spite of it. What can you say about a society that tells its young women that what you have between your legs is worth at least five times more than what you have between your ears? </p>\n<p>So as ESL teachers and TEFL providers in Thailand, we all share a huge responsibility. Firstly, not to get involved in the sex industry. If we\'re not willing to help solve the problem, then the least we can do is not contribute to it. Those who get invoved with bar girls do so at their own peril. Any honest bar girl, (now there\'s a wonderful oxymoron), will tell you that she will ALWAYS treat foreign men with the same disgust and contempt that her mother treated her. This is a great life lesson when getting invoved with any Asian woman. (Observe the girl\'s relationship with her mother before getting invoved with her.)</p>\n<p>And secondly, to help our students to succeed. Especially the ones with very few choices. They are the future, and, by extention, so are we. </p>\n<p>The great American playwright Arthur Miller once said someting to the effect that the truly fortunate people in life get to choose their own regrets. (I\'m paraphrasing here.) I doubt that the regret of the hilltribe woman quoted above is what Mr. Miller was talking about. \"I regret not finishing school.\" \"I regret not spending more time with my children.\" \"I regret not telling my wife more often that I love her.\" These are the real regrets in life. Not, \"My only regret is that I should have asked for more\", when selling your 14 year old daughter into prostitution for $12.</p>\n<p>As ESL professionals, we have a profound responsibility to the daughters and sisters of Thailand. This responsibility presents itself daily. And by taking that responsibility seriously, by showing the daughters and sisters of Thailand that, as ESL teachers, we are here for them, that we are here to earn their trust so that they won\'t have to rely on the mass tourism industry to earn their living, we are presenting ourselves as the professionals that we were deemed to be. That, in itself, is a huge responsibility. The truly fortunate may get to choose their regrets, but the truly fortunate ESL teachers get to choose their responsibilities.

Even when I\'m old and gray and sitting in a rocking chair she will forever be etched in my memory. She called herself Wendy, but her real name was Wang Tien. I was in China, Shandong province with just over two years of ESL teaching experience. It was October, 2000. I was 41 years old, but I could have been 21. I was in China. And I was excited and scared.</p>\n<p>The place was called Huamei International school. It was an unfinished boarding school with half empty buildings and a heating system that worked sporadically. Although the teacher\'s dorms had western flush toilets and showers, the student dorms were a throwback to the Chairman Mao days of austere living. The students had to bathe using a filthy communal wash basin and relieve themselves through a hole in the floor. Their waste was collected on plywood, and t he plywood was changed once a day.</p>\n<p>The cafeteria was huge, but unheated. And the specialties most days were chicken\'s feet, rice, and hard white buns that could put someone in the hospital for days if thrown directly at them. We did eat some steam buns with real meat in them, but that was only on Saturday when the parents came to visit.</p>\n<p>My classes were fine-- 20 to 25 young teenagers to a class, although I was promised much smaller classes. The textbooks were boring, but Chinese based. Most of the kids were fantastic. They had never seen foreigners before, and they were as fascinated with us as we were with them. Some of them loved to rub my hairy forearms, while others just stared. But they were fun to be with. Most of them, anyway.</p>\n<p>One day while I was teaching, I noticed something about Wang Tien\'s hands. At first I wasn\'t sure what i t was. I took a closer look. Both her hands were covered with what looked like razor cuts. Dozens of superficial razor cuts. I should have noticed it before. Could that be? Could it be that she tried to cut open her hands? But why? A desperate plea for attention? Did something happen at home? I knew that this was China and girls are not wanted nearly as much as boys. Did her parents love her? </p>\n<p>I asked her what happened. She just said, \"accident.\" That\'s all she said. \"Accident.\" She didn\'t even try to hide her hands. So I told some of the Chinese teachers about Wang Tien\'s hands. \"Oh, problems at home\", they said. And that\'s all they said. \"Problems at home.\" I never did find out.</p>\n<p>She was 15 years old and whenever I saw Wang Tien from then on I would ask her how her hands were. \"Fine\", she would say shyly and walked away. </p>\n<p>Then one day I worked up the courage to take her hands in mine and gently rub them, hoping that the cuts would magically disappear. Whenever I saw her, whether it be in the hall or in the cafeteria, I would say, \"Hi Wendy, how are your hands?\"</p>\n<p>\"Fine\", she would say as a smile beamed across her face. After a while, I didn\'t even have to ask her anymore. We would see each other in the hall or the cafeteria. She would hold out her hands. I would gently cup them in mine and rub the cuts away. </p>\n<p>About two months after I started teaching at Huamei-- on Wednesday of week eight, I was called to the Principal\'s office. From what I was hearing-- especially from the other five foreign teachers-- the school wasn\'t very happy with me. Sure, I was playing some hangman with the students. And I did teach them the word \"fart.\" Could that be it? Imagine, being called to the Principal\'s office at 41 years of age. </p>\n<p>His name was Ma. Principal Ma. Th e first thing I noticed when I stepped into his office was a very large portrait of Chairman Mao directly behind his desk. The very same po rtrait you see in Tiannemen Square. From what I was told, Principal Ma adored Chairman Mao. Why anyone can adore a man responsible for the deaths of more people in the 20th Century than any other is beyond me. But there they were, Principal Ma and Chairman Mao. Also in the room was his interpreter. Principal Ma could not speak English. Not one word, I was told.</p>\n<p>\"Mr. Steve\", the interpreter began. I nodded and looked around the room. Principal Ma sat in a huge chair behind his desk. This huge chair made his body look small. I wasn\'t sure if he was aware of that. His interpreter sat just opposite me. His English was pretty good, although a bit stilted.</p>\n<p>\"Mr. Steve\", the interpreter said again. I nodded and this time I said \"yes.\"</p>\n<p>The interpreter continued. \"It has come to our attention that your teaching methods are not ---\" (a pause) \'appropriate.\' What you have done in the classroom is not---\" (another pause) \'the Chinese way.\'\"</p>\n<p>\"What have I done?\"</p>\n<p>Principal Ma and the interpreter looked at each other. Principal Ma said something to the interpreter. He may have been getting his inspiration from Chairman Mao. The interpreter looked back at me. \"You play too many games. And you teach them the English word for \'Fangpi.\'\" That was the Chinese word for fart.</p>\n<p>\"I was just having some fun. They\'re kids and I just wanted to have some fun with them.\"</p>\n<p>\"I understand\", continued the interpreter. \"But this is China. And we don\'t do that in China.\"</p>\n<p>Really? You don\'t fart in China? I wanted to say that. I really did, but I didn\'t. </p>\n<p>\"And one time you go to class drunk.\"</p>\n<p>\"Huh?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes. Some students say they smell beer on your breath.\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s not true\", I replied sternly. In reality, I drink only after class.</p>\n<p>\"And you don\'t speak Chinese very well\", the interpreter continued.</p>\n<p>In fact, I didn\'t speak Chinese at all, although in the two months that I was there, I did learn how to say \"Hello\", \"How are you?\", \"I\'m fine, thanks\", and \"please pass the salt.\" </p>\n<p>\"You are not a gentleman, Mr. Steve. You are not a gentleman. The students don\'t like you. They do not understand you. They want another teacher.\"</p>\n<p>\"They don\'t like me?\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s right.\" (A pause, but not a long one.) \"We want you out of the school by Friday. Our driver will take you to the train station. We have already purchased you a one-way ticket to Beijing on the overnight train. Do you have any questions?\"</p>\n<p>I was stunned. Did I have any questions? Only one. \"Why don\'t the students like me?\"</p>\n<p>\"They do not understand you\", came the interpreter\'s terse response.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t understand this. How can they do this to me? I wanted to fight this. The following day I met with the interpreter in his office. It was just after lunch and he was drunk. He was drunk! After falsely accusing me that I went to class drunk. \"Listen, Mr. Steve\", he began. \"The owner of school, he have no more money. He borrow so much money from bank to open school, he have no more money to pay teachers. He not even pay me. I do you favour. I think it\'s best that you go.\"</p>\n<p>Suddenly I understood. But why did they have to lie to me? To save face? And was it true about the students? Did they really not like me?</p>\n<p>The following evening-- Friday-- the day I was to leave for Beijing, I went first to the girl\'s dorm to say goodbye to the students. I thought I would have time to do both the girl\'s and boy\'s dorms. I took my camera since I had about a dozen pictures left. I explained to the girls what had happened. I showed them a piece of paper where I had written in Chinese, \"I was fired\", and a few of them started to cry. I couldn\'t believe it. Why would they cry? After all, I was told that they didn\'t like me. That they wanted another teacher. </p>\n<p>One by one they came out of their dorm rooms. Some with tears in their eyes. Some holding out their hands in a beautiful gesture of friendship. One by one they came out of their room. Some freshly bathed, their hair still wet. Some bearing gifts: A flower; a cassette of traditional Chinese songs; a good luck charm; beautiful pictures of themselves in traditional Chinese clothing. Some of them ran back to their room and came back moments later with notebooks and paper. They scribbled notes, tore the paper out of their books and gently handed them to me to read. They read:<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>\"I love you, Steve.\" </p>\n<p>\"I miss you forever. Please don\'t forget me.\"</p>\n<p>\"For my favorite teacher. I miss you forever.\" </p>\n<p>\"To Steve: My best friend. I love you and miss you forever. Please don\'t forget China.\"<br />\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>And on and on. Fifteen or twenty of them. It all happened so quickly that I couldn\'t keep track. There was Glenn, the girl that liked to rub my hairy forearms. Julie, the shy girl who couldn\'t even look at me. Sally and her friend, the one who cried. And then I saw her. Wendy. Wang Tien. Someone must have told her because her eyes were red from crying. I took her hands in mine for one last time. I didn\'t say anything. She didn\'t either. We didn\'t have to. I looked at her hands. The cuts were almost gone. Hardly noticable. </p>\n<p>Then we took pictures. We hugged each other and promised we\'d write. And we took more pictures until we couldn\'t take pictures anymore. I told them that I wanted to go and say goodbye to the boys, but they wouldn\'t let me. They circled me, tugged at my clothes, and wouldn\'t let me go. Chris, one of the two of the Chinese teachers who witnessed most of this, said that I really must have made an impression on them. I guess so. Even I wasn\'t aware of it.</p>\n<p>The overnight train to Beijing was uneventful. I did have one nagging question as the train made its way to Beijing. As I watched old Chinese men and women spit on the floor and throw chicken bones out the window, I asked myself how beautiful Chinese children can grow up and become ugly Chinese adults? One of life\'s greatest mysteries. </p>\n<p>The following day I was in an internet cafe across from Tiannemen Square looking for my next ESL job. I had decided on Korea, and sat in front of a computer screen wondering if I should mention this experience or include it in my resume. After all, it was only two months. And that\'s when it happened.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know how it happened. I guess it just did. I thought of the goodbye the night before. I thought of all those wonderful girls at Huamei and how I would never see them again. And I thought of Wang Tien. Who would rub her hands? Who would take care of her? Then my tears began to flow. I cried like I hadn\'t cried in years. It suddenly hit me. I would never see them again. I tried to cover my face, but I was fully aware that people were watching. I was also aware that someone was tapping me on the shoulder, asking me if I was alright. I said, \"Yes.\" Moments later, a glass of water appeared on the desk next to the computer. </p>\n<p>I decided to put my ESL career on hold, and went to Thailand to recover. That was my first broken heart as an ESL teacher. My heart wasn\'t only broken, it was shattered. I vowed never to let something like that happen to me again. From that moment on I decided to build a wall around me, a wall so thick and so strong, that no one would ever do that to me again.</p>\n<p>It\'s been four and a half years since I\'ve seen Wang Tien, and hardly a day goes by when I don\'t think about her and the others at Huamei. I\'ve had many experiences since then in Korea and Thailand-- good and bad-- but the wall that I have spent the last four and half years building and protecting is still thick and strong. That is, until a few weeks ago. </p>\n<p>I began a three week summer class at AUA. It was the students\' first exposure to AUA and I wanted to make a good impression. We all learned a lot and had some fun in the process. A difficult balance even under the best of circumstances. I still don\'t know how it happened. Maybe it was the grammar song that I composed using the tune of \"My Bonny Lies Over The Ocean\" for adverbs of frequency.</p>\n<p>1) Elicit sports, activities, and food from the students.</p>\n<p>2) Go over six or seven different frequency adverbs.</p>\n<p>3) Write this on the board:</p>\n<p>\"How often do you go swimming?<br />\nhow often do you go swimming?<br />\nI sometimes go swimming,<br />\nhow about you?\"</p>\n<p>Feel free to change the activites and frequency adverbs. </p>\n<p>4) Model it until the students understand, and let the fun begin.</p>\n<p>At some point a very smart 15 year old girl named Kam took over. She put the 20 odd students in a circle, and on \"how about you?\" threw an imaginary ball to the others. And on it went. For at least 15 minutes. I wasn\'t sure. I just stood back and watched as these kids were having a ball.</p>\n<p>\"How often do you eat somtam?<br />\nhow often do you eat somtam?<br />\nI always eat somtam,<br />\nhow about you?\"</p>\n<p>I wasn\'t sure what to think. But I left class that day feeling that I had accomplished something. That\'s a rare feeling in the ESL world. </p>\n<p>The following week one of the directors of AUA came to see me while I was in the teacher\'s resource room, a concerned look on his face. \"Steve, I just had eight of your students from your three week class come to see me. They seem concerned. They had a great time last week, and they like you very much. But they said that this week you\'ve changed. You\'ve become a lot more serious. At least that\'s what they\'ve said. They seem to be having problems with the listening activities.\"</p>\n<p>That was probably true, although I didn\'t really notice it quite frankly. I am serious and I do want my students to learn. And they were having problems with the listening which made things a bit more frustrating for all of us. Maybe I was taking things a bit too seriously, and should loosen up more. After all, it was a lower level class.</p>\n<p>The students were trying to tell me something. But what? I didn\'t want to sweep this incident under the rug so I came up with a warmer to begin next class. I brought in pictures of doctors, nurses, teachers, astronauts, and big houses. I wrote on the board in big letters, \"What is your dream? \"Then I wrote the word, \"success.\" Some of them looked it up in their dictionary. I asked them what their dreams were. Then I handed out pieces of blank paper and asked them to draw a picture of their dream. I explained that if they continued to study English at AUA and stay in school, they will succeed and maybe, just maybe, thei r dreams will come true. </p>\n<p>Their pictures were beautiful. Some were of doctors and nurses who cured the sick. Others were of big houses with happy smiling children. But their dreams were real. And so were they. I got the students up and they walked around the class asking others about their dreams.</p>\n<p>Friday, the following week, was our last day together. With five minutes remaining I thanked the students and told them that it was fun teaching them. \"Teacher\", one of them said. \"We have a gift for you.\"</p>\n<p>\"What? For me?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes!!!\", a few of them said in unison. Then one of them produced a colourful bag with with a large gift-wrapped box inside. \"Open it now.\"</p>\n<p>So I did. It was a clock. A pig clock. About 12 inches high. The pig was wearing very colourful glasses and looked as if he was riding a car, the steering wheel being the clock. It needs two batteries, one for the clock and one to make the pig\'s head sway from side to side. I was shocked. A few of the students began to laugh. At this point maybe I should explain. </p>\n<p>Those who teach in Thailand already know that their students have nicknames--- three of four letter ones, sometimes named after animals and, compared to the traditionally long Thai names, usually easy to pronounce. My nickname is \"Moo.\" It\'s the Thai word for pig, and I\'m very proud to say that I chose it myself. In fact, every first class of each term I put my nametag at the edge of my desk. It has my nickname on it as well as a picture of a pig. I invite the students to do the same. They are usually more than happy to oblige.</p>\n<p>Some of the students took pictures using their cell phones. Then they gave me a card. It was signed by 14 of them. This is what some of them said.</p>\n<p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>To Mr. Steve (Khun Moo) </p>\n<p>\"Thank you very much for your kindy and your concern to me and everybody in my classes. I love English Language more than 3 weeks ago. I wish you have a nice time in Thailand. You are a good teacher for me.\"</p>\n<p>Wan.</p>\n<p>To Steve</p>\n<p>\"This is the last time in this class. I feel so sad. But I have happies -- very happies all the time. I think you is very good teacher. I wish you very happies.\"</p>\n<p>Ooan & Ming.</p>\n<p>To my teacher (Moo)</p>\n<p>\"I like you very much. I\'m thank you your teach more than 3 weeks ago. You\'re good teacher for me.\"</p>\n<p>Fon.</p>\n<p>To... My teacher.</p>\n<p>\"Thank you very much. You are my best teacher for me. I wish you have a nice time in your life. Forget me not.\"</p>\n<p>Shung.</p>\n<p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p>\n<p>And on and on. Fourteen times. I couldn\'t believe it. What had I done to deserve this? Hadn\'t I spent so long building this wall? Didn\'t I want to make sure that what happened to me in China, and other places, would never happen again? What can I have possibly done in three weeks to deserve this much attention from these students? </p>\n<p>After all, there was no Wang Tien with cuts on her hands that needed healing. Or with the thick, strong wall that I had spent so long constructing, maybe I hadn\'t taken the time to notice. Cuts are not always physical. In fact, they very rarely are. Those wonderful students had fired a rocket that damaged the wall, and I\'m still not sure what to think. One thing\'s for certain. Building a wall around you is a wonderful way to keep the bad ESL experiences at bay. It\'s a way to keep the good experiences out as well. </p>\n<p>As part of AUA\'s professional development program, teachers are constantly asked what we have learned from our experiences both in and out of the classroom. So, what have I learned from this one? I\'m still not sure. Walls around us are okay, so long as they don\'t prevent us from connecting with our students and teaching them what they need to know in a comfortable learning environment. </p>\n<p>I did learn that students-- especially those here at AUA-- are acutely aware of the teacher\'s mood. Those eight students who went to see the director were genuinely concerned about me. They had sensed something about me that even I wasn\'t aware of. I\'m greatful for that, although I hope it doesn\'t happen too often. </p>\n<p>In past columns I\'ve talked about our role and mission as ESL teachers. That is a particular passion of mine. So what did I learn from this experience? It\'s not what I\'ve learned. It\'s what I\'m still learning. I\'m learning that ESL teaching is a useless endeavor unless there\'s a Wang Tien in your class. Someone who makes you care and feel. I\'m learning that a wall around you, although useful at strategic times, is dangerous when students are relying on you to connect with them and deliver \"the goods.\" I\'m learning that when you surround yourself with great people, other great teachers and supervisors who\'s job and role it is to help and support you, that you really don\'t need a wall as much as you may think you do. I\'m learning that all ESL teachers-- whether from Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, New Zealand-- or other English speaking countries-- are all in this together. </p>\n<p>But most of all, this experience taught me something very powerful. And it was from a beautiful young Thai woman in my class named Wan. \"I love English now more than 3 weeks ago\", she said.</p>\n<p>With those nine words, Wan, and others just like her, let me know exactly what I should be doing here. She let me and other ESL teachers know exactly what our mission should be. </p>\n<p>Thank you Wan. </p>\n<p>All in all, we\'re NOT just another brick in the wall.</p>','','2005-04-30 20:01:48',1,'2005-04-30 20:01:48','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(111,4,'No fries with that!','no-fries-with-that','Teachers as mentors and heroes (part two)','As we ESL teachers and TESOL providers--- especially those teaching in financially impoverished countries--- strive to help others to financially improve their \"lot in life\", are we not, at the same time, helping to turn them into the same capitalist and consumerist pigs that have now permeated Japan, South Korea, and other developed countries?','<p>I had that same dream again last week. More like a nightmare, actually. These dreams come and go, but the last one was particularly vivid. I dreamt that I was asleep when I was suddenly awoken by a fellow teacher. \"Hey Steve, you\'re late for class!\" was all I heard. It was 8:15, and my first class was at 7:00. So I rushed to school and tried to apologize to my boss only to be fired. (I must try to remember that it was only a dream, but we all know what these dreams symbolize.)</p>\n<p>I prefer the other dream that comes and goes. The one where I rush back home to Canada with little more than the clothes on my back because I saw a snake in my toilet. (For the armchair Freudians out there, please spare me what you think the snake symbolizes.)</p>\n<p>Last month, in part one of \"Teachers as Mentors and Heroes\", I quoted Julian Edge and Larry E. Smith, who fear that we ESL teachers, especially since the occupation and subsequent liberation of Iraq, are becoming more and more like neo-colonialists and linguistic imperialists, and less and less like ESL teachers and TESOL providers. In this column, I hope to put those fears to rest once and for all. </p>\n<p>To quote Mr. Edge one more time:</p>\n<p>\"To the extent that the dominance of English-speaking nations is now to imposed by force, English language teachers may now explicitly be perceived as a second wave of imperial troopers. We move in, following \'pacification\', with the unspoken role, it can be argued, of facilitating the consent that hegemony requires, so that the fist can be returned to the glove.\"<br />\n(TESOL QUARTERLY, Vol. 37, no. 4. Winter, 2003. p. 703.) </p>\n<p>If Mr. Edge fears that Western hegemony is turning into imperialism-- especially in Asia-- why does he take it out on ESL teachers and TESOL providers? Why not blame the sex tourists in Southeast Asia, who collectively spend billions of U.S. dollars every year perpetuating a climate and culture of immorality, greed, and pathological dependence? Why not blame the Western/American multinationals, who set up shop all over the third world and pay little more than slave wages to the local population, while, at the same time, increasing the CEO\'s overseas bank accounts to the point where the disparity of wealth is at socially dangerous levels? Why go after ESL teachers who are trying to make a positive difference in spite of the odds being against us? </p>\n<p>ESL teacher Tom Griffith responds to Mr. Edge by stating our careers as TESOL providers are founded on a paradox. </p>\n<p>\"Most teachers get into ESOL because they love other cultures. Yet by spreading English and its embedded values, they may be eroding the very cultural diversity that attracted them in the first place.\" (TESOL QUARTERLY, Vol. 38, no. 1. Spring 2004. p. 714.)</p>\n<p>Interesting point. But being and working in Thailand presents for me a slightly different angle on Mr. Griffith\'s theory. What attracted me to Thailand as a tourist-- the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere, and, to a certain extent, the Thai\'s sense of fun and play (Sanook) is the very same thing that, at times, drives me to distraction as an ESL teacher. Don\'t get me wrong. I enjoy sanook just as much as the next guy. But learning English involves a certain amount of committment and determination, and reconciling these many different elements in both Thai and Western society can be very frustrating for ESL teachers.</p>\n<p>But some cultures and certain cultural attitudes do have to be changed if we TESOL providers are to make a positive difference. As Griffith points out,</p>\n<p>\"TESOL members are passionately, incorrigibly idealistic. No one seems content simply to teach language--- TESOL professionals must have a larger purpose, they must shape students\' values as well as their grammar, and they must use their classrooms to change the world.\" (Ibid. p. 714.)</p>\n<p>Obviously there are dangers here, but the benefits in changing people\'s lives for the better will far outweigh any negative aspects of cultural change. ESL teachers don\'t, and should not, work in a vacuum or a culturally protective bubble. Where we see suffering and injustice we have a responsibility to speak out. But to do this, we need the help, encouragement, and support of a great many people: The school owners and directors, the administration, our fellow teachers, the parents of the young people we teach, our students, and the rest of the community. </p>\n<p>We cannot stand idly by in the countries that we teach and continue to rationalize and justify in the name of culture such barbaric practices as female circumcision, honour killings, female infanticide, and child labour just because people like Julian Edge and Larry Smith may label us as cultural or linguistic imperialists. If being against any or all of these barbaric practices makes me a neo-colonialist, then I for one wear this badge with pride and honour! </p>\n<p>Teaching ESL in Japan and South Korea are obviously different in many ways than teaching here in Thailand. While Thailand still has a large amount of financially impoverished people, many of whom are desperately trying to improve their \"lot in life\" by, amoung other things, trying to learn English, the Japanese and the South Koreans would not, by any stretch of the imagination, be considered financially poor. Spiritually poor, maybe. Ethically challenged, perhaps. Morally destitute, probably. But financially impoverished? Not anymore. </p>\n<p>And herein lies another huge and frustrating paradox in the ESL world: As we ESL teachers and TESOL providers--- especially those teaching in financially impoverished countries--- strive to help others to financially improve their \"lot in life\", are we not, at the same time, helping to turn them into the same capitalist and consumerist pigs that have now permeated Japan, South Korea, and other developed countries?</p>\n<p>Here\'s something to think about whenever someone like Julian Edge and Larry Smith refers to us ESL teachers as neo-colonialists and linguistic imperialists. Here\'s something to think about whenever we ESL teachers have any doubts as to exactly what our mission should be.</p>\n<p>Here in Bangkok the minimum wage is 173 Baht a day. That\'s less than $4.50 U.S. A day! Recently I went to Burger King for a double whopper with cheese and a small coke. (Now I know I didn\'t need the double whopper with cheese, but that\'s another story.) That cost me 179 Baht. To make 173 Baht for the day, a server at any of these fast food establishments would have to work nine or ten hours. It doesn\'t take an Einstein to do the math here. Imagine working at McDonalds, Burger King, or any of the other fast food establishments, and not being able to afford to buy the very same burgers that you\'re flipping! </p>\n<p>It\'s the same at the Nike plant in Chonburi or any of the other multinational companies paying slave wages to the local population. It\'s even worse at most Thai companies where getting more than two days off a month is unheard of. Part of what it means to go from an agricultural (third world) society to a manufacturing and service based (developing) economy is that the workers, after having been placed in the factories and restaurants, must be able to afford to buy the very same items that they manufacture and produce. Otherwise, they were better off on the farms! Even Henry Ford knew that! </p>\n<p>Given these harsh economic realities, can anyone think of a better reason to spread English around the world? Can anyone think of a better way that we ESL teachers can use our skills to become mentors to each other and heroes to our students than by helping to lift them out of this dire poverty so that they, in turn, can possibly become mentors and heroes in their own society? That is, if those working at McDonalds, Burger King, Thai companies, and first world multinationals can afford to take English classes. </p>\n<p>Japan, South Korea, and other \"developed\" countries have recently had their fair share of anti-English or anti-ESL movements. But this is not, as Edge and Smith would have us believe, that we ESL teachers are the new linguistic imperialists. The anti-English backlash seen recently in South Korea, and at times, elsewhere, has very little, if anything to do with the current Bush administration or the war in Iraq. This behaviour, by some people in certain host countries, is a direct reflection of who these people are: Xenophobic racists who haven\'t an inkling of how to get along with others who don\'t share their genetic code! </p>\n<p>What South Korea, with its recent anti-English backlash is saying is, our job is done. It may or may not be true, but that\'s besides the point. Japan, with Asia\'s biggest economy and the world\'s second biggest economy, stopped needing ESL teachers years ago. And South Korea, with Asia\'s third biggest economy and the world\'s tenth biggest economy is now telling us ESL teachers something we may not want to hear. It\'s time for us to leave. We have overstayed our welcome, if we were ever welcomed at all. (Personally, I got that message two years ago.)</p>\n<p>Eventually it will become that way in Thailand and other third world countries as well where English is still sought as a way to improve one\'s \"lot in life.\" With the emerging of a middle class, ESL teachers will quickly become irrelevent, so let\'s enjoy it while we can. So a huge part of our role as TESOL providers and ESL teachers is to help to create a middle class in the society in which we teach, recognize when we have overstayed our welcome and have become irrelevent, then move on to another third world country in the hopes of helping to create another middle class.</p>\n<p>Edge and Smith may see the convergence of the current Bush administration\'s foreign policy and the present reality of ESL teachers in South Korea. While many Iraqis now see the U.S. as occupires, \"You liberated us, we\'re free, we thank you, now piss off!\", many in South Korea now see us ESL teachers in much the same way. \"You taught us English, we increased our standard of living, we thank you, now piss off!\" </p>\n<p>But this connection--- if there really is one--- is based not on the war in Iraq, or American hegemony. It is based simply and purely on human nature; our self-appointed \"right\" to dislike and distrust other people who weren\'t born in your country. \"You liberated us; you taught us English; we\'re free; we increased our standard of living; wealth is now spreading quickly from west to east, so keep it going; we thank you kindly; now get the hell off my land!\" It\'s primarily human nature. Not politics.</p>\n<p>I realize that the Mr. Edge has taken quite a pounding, not only in my column, but from some of the other respondents published in TESOL QUARTERLY. I will give him the last word here because I\'m quite sure that some of these responses have helped to open his eyes to other points of view. </p>\n<p>\"I reaffirm immediately, lest I be misunderstood again, that in this piece, I am not working in a nonjudgemental mode. I am being as judgemental as the next person as I struggle to find my way forward.\" (Ibid. p. 720.)</p>\n<p>And that\'s the point, isn\'t it? That we ESL teachers are struggling \"to find our way forward.\" Sometimes we struggle so hard that at night we dream of being late for class only to be fired. We dream that we are on the next plane home because of that \"snake in the toilet.\" Yes, Mr. Edge, we all struggle with our own demons, and other people\'s demons, in this very precarious and often hazardous ESL world. But as we struggle to find our way forward, let\'s remember the harsh economic realities of many of the students we teach in financially impoverished countries. Let\'s give the snake in the toilet its due be recognizing not only own own doubts and fears, but also the doubts and fears of our fellow ESL teachers. By doing this, we can then become mentors to each other and heroes to our students. </p>','','2005-03-31 20:15:07',1,'2005-03-31 20:15:07','2018-04-15 03:03:15');

People like Julian Edge and Larry Smith should be ashamed of themselves. They spit in the face of every dedicated ESL teacher.','<p>ESL teachers as linguistic imperialists and neo-colonialists, or ESL teachers as mentors and heroes. That is the subject of this column. </p>\n<p>One of the good things about teaching English at AUA here in Bangkok, (besides the lasagne and pumkin pie in the cafeteria), is their Professional Development Program, (PDP.) Some teachers don\'t like it, but I do. The PDP gives us teachers a chance to observe other teachers, participate in article discussion forums, create supplementary material for your classes, and learn from so many others in the field.</p>\n<p>Two recent cases in point is an article discussion and a workshop which took place at the main branch of AUA. Both the article discussion and the workshop had a similar theme. The article, by Julian Edge, was titled, \"Imperial Troopers and Servants of the Lord: A Vision of TESOL for the 21st Century.\" The workshop, given by Larry E. Smith, was titled, \"English as an International Language for Thais.\" </p>\n<p>In the workshop, Mr. Smith asked these thought provoking questions: What is the difference between English as an International Language, (EIL) and English as a foreign Language, (EFL)?<br />\nWhat is the preferred method of teaching EIL? Is there an \'International English\' that we should be using, studying, and teaching? Is the global spread of English helpful for international communication or is it evidence of the cultural and linguistic imperialism of the United States? Are we teachers of English agents of peace or instruments of neo-colonialism?</p>\n<p>Definately some thought provoking questions there. I\'ll leave it up to each teacher reading this to decide for him or herself where they stand. Before I comment, here are a couple of quotes from Mr. Edge\'s article.</p>\n<p>\"It has become a commonplace of commentary on the worldwide hunger for English that the demand arises historically as an inheritance of the British Empire, and in the contemporary world, from the hegemonic status of the United States across many domains of human life, including the occupational, commercial, and cultural.\" (TESOL QUARTERLY Vol. 37, No. 4, Winter 2003. p. 701.)</p>\n<p>It is also Mr. Edge\'s perception,</p>\n<p>\"that the 2003 invasion of Iraq marks a watershed, if only in the raising of my own awareness. The shift to overt military imposition of will where hegemonic influence fails, even more striking when the main protagonists are the three figurehead TESOL providers worldwide, threatens fundamentally to recast the role of English language teachers. It represents a decisive move that one could express in colloquial terms as the shift from \'You should learn this because it is in your own best interests\' to \'You had better learn this if you know what is good for you.\' To the extent that the dominance of English speaking nations is to be imposed by force, English language teachers may now explicitly be perceived as a second wave of imperial troopers.\" (Ibid. p. 703.)</p>\n<p>Wow! ESL teachers as neo-colonialists and linguistic imperialists? And you thought you were here to enjoy the nightlife and play hangman with eight year olds! Ha! I guess it\'s my turn to respond. In defense of Mr. Edge and Mr. Smith, they are both scholars. And I\'m pretty sure that they are gentlemen. I, on the other hand, am neither a scholar nor a gentleman. </p>\n<p>I\'ve been in the ESL world since March 1997, and the vast majority of the ESL teachers I\'ve<br />\nmet---hundreds in at least a half dozen different countries--- are, for the most part, young, naive, (unaware of the \"real\" world), idealists, dedicated, tolerant, sometimes confused, sometimes too trusting, and, a lot of the time, downright frightened. A lot of us, especially in places like Taiwan, Korea, and Japan, are away from home for the first time, thrusting ourselves into a world unknown; unfamiliar places and hostile environments where Westerners are, at best, tolerated, and at worst, treated wit h such disdain and scorn that their illusion quickly turns to disillusion and they are unable to complete a year long contract. </p>\n<p>Many of us jackbooted imperialists, Mr. Edge and Mr. Smith are $20,000 or $30,000 in debt, teaching day and night to pay off a student loan. Where would we possibly find the time to do our George W. Bush impersonation, or spread the good word of Jesus? </p>\n<p>For these reasons, and others, ESL teachers-- most of us, anyway-- should be viewed as mentors and heroes, selflessly taking the time to improve the lives of our students. People like Julian Edge and Larry Smith should be ashamed of themselves. They spit in the face of every dedicated ESL teacher. They denigrate those of us who spend hours each and every day planning, preparing, and executing good quality English lessons that enable our students to learn and better themselves for the future.</p>\n<p>Regardless of how one feels about President George W. Bush and the war in Iraq, to lump ESL teachers into the same group with the neo-conservatives in Washington; to equate us, in anyway, with the political philosophies of Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, or Condoleeza Rice, is not only outrageous and outlandish, it also calls into question the sanity of the people who do this. </p>\n<p>Julian Edge and Larry Smith are certainly entitled to their opinions, as outlandish and outrageous as some of them are. That\'s not the issue. But perhaps they can answer this very important question: </p>\n<p>\"Given that the vast majority of ESL teachers worldwide are young, (under 30), inexperienced, (about teaching ESL and life itself), atheists or agnostic, and overwhelmingly liberal in their political thinking, what is the connection between any of these teachers and the neo-conservatives of the Bush administration?\"</p>\n<p>ESL teachers as neo-colonialists and linguistic imperialists? That would be nice. That would mean that we are truly making a difference. There are things in this world that need changing. (More on that in part two next month.) The problem is not that we ESL teachers are changing things and shaking things up. The problem is that we\'re not. (More on that in part two next month.) Most of us are far too meek and acquiescent in character to march lockstep into Asia and linguistically colonize the locals. Even if we wanted to, we wouldn\'t be allowed. So instead of shaking things up, instead of really going out on a limb and changing things for the better, we kowtow to the local customs. So in the end, nothing really changes.</p>\n<p>Any of us who has the courage to look in the mirror, regardless of what country it is we\'re teaching, will quickly come to realize--- much to our dismay--- that we are making very little difference at all--- if any. Although the English language is sought after as a linguistic means to an economic end, most of us lowly ESL providers are constantly on the outside looking in, very rarely feeling quite welcomed in the country we chose to better the lives of our students. \"Teach us English, Yes! But stay away from our sons and daughters\", is the common mantra of the locals in relation to ESL teachers. And if you do want our daughters, make sure you bring a whole lot of cash!</p>\n<p>We ESL teachers in Asia have had to put up with some of the most appalling conditions imaginable, especially in places like Korea, China and Taiwan. Far too many of us still do. ESL teacher\'s websites are full of horror stories about the mistreatment of ESL providers. People can read them for themselves. But that fact remains, most ESL teachers are mentors and heroes. </p>\n<p>At the core of education--- real education, not this \"ESL Mickey Mouse Crap\"--- is change. Positive political and social change. (More on that in part two next month.) Peel away the layers of the cultural onion and at the core you will find three things: Love, freedom, and justice. Without these three things, political and social change is not possible. We ESL teachers, like any other teacher, must be agents of positive political and social change. Doing anything to maintain the status quo, or doing nothing in the hope that the status quo will be maintained, is not an option that educators have. The status quo is the antithesis of education. </p>\n<p>I\'m left with one very good and interesting comment from Mr. Edge\'s article.</p>\n<p>\"When we are asked what vision of a better world it is that we, as educators, believe that we are contributing to by teaching English to speakers of other languages, it behoves us now more than ever to be ready with an honest answer.\" (Ibid. p. 708.)</p>\n<p>Well, here\'s my answer. Everyone in the ESL world, whether you are teaching, managing, administrating or mentoring, must have a mission. Everyone. What is your mission? You must know exactly why you are teaching English to people half way around the world. You must know exactly what it is that you want to accomplish as a result of teaching ESL. You must wake up every morning with a clear vision of exactly what it is that you do and why. Then do it to the best of your ability.</p>\n<p>I recently put my five word mission statement at the top of my resume. \"To propel the process forward.\" That\'s it. Life is a process, and whether you are a teacher or a student, it must be propelled forward.</p>\n<p>I will end the first part of this column by sharing two letters. As a columnist, I get my fair share of letters. Most of them are positive, but I like them all. The first letter is from my father, the second, from a young Thai woman.</p>\n<p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>December 9, 2004.</p>\n<p>Dear Steve,<br />\nIt\'s 4:30 a.m. I just finished reading \"Why I Came to Thailand\" for the third time. I think it\'s the best piece of work you\'ve ever done. First I didn\'t know where you were going with it.... or about your mother and the M.S.... and then the legacy.<br />\nSteve, you have no idea how proud I am of you.... and what you have accomplished in your life. You\'re doing the things I would have liked to do. It\'s 5:15 a.m. I\'m going back to bed. I feel better for writing you. Love you.</p>\n<p>Papa.</p>\n<p>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>February 1, 2005.</p>\n<p>Dear Steve,</p>\n<p>It\'s the accident to read your story \"Why I came to Thailand\" and I thought it\'s a good story for me and I like it very much.... Hope you have a good story again.<br />\nSorry my English not good but I love to read it. Thank you to live in Thailand and I hope you love my country too.</p>\n<p>Regards.</p>\n<p>So what is the mission of ESL teachers worldwide? It can be found in both these letters. It is both a personal mission and a professional mission. It is to make our parents and family proud.<br />\nIt is to improve the lives of our students. It is to leave a lasting legacy in those that we teach. It is to make a difference. It is to propel the process forward.</p>\n<p>Julian Edge\'s article can be read in its entirety in TESOL QUARTERLY, Volume 37. Number 4. Winter, 2003.</p>\n<p>Larry E.

I just finished reading an article in the Nation newspaper about the Thailand TESOL Conference which took place in Bangkok on January 20th, 2005. </p>\n<p>I try not to attend these conferences. One reason is that I\'m usually busy teaching. Another reason is that they are usually sponsored and run by self-centered, pompous, and arrogant buffoons who have been out of the classroom far too long to have anything worthwhile to share. </p>\n<p>A case in point from a talk on \"Technology in Education\" by Mr. Stephen Heppell, director of the UK-based Ultralab. </p>\n<p>\"Technology is adapting rapidly and bringing extraordinary changes in what youngsters can do and think about education. Almost every young adult now had a mobile phone, so they now can learn anywhere at any time they like.\"</p>\n<p>At this point I feel as if I must apologize. Obviously, I was quoting from the article so please bear with me. </p>\n<p>Technology doesn\'t adapt. People do, or they attempt to. And youngsters don\'t think about education. Adults do, or they\'re suppose to. Adults are in charge of the education of youngsters, or they\'re suppose to be. But by the looks of things, they are not doing a very good job.</p>\n<p>He calls this \"m-learning\" or mobile learning. There\'s also \"e-learning.\" (More on that soon.) e-learning? m-learning? Are you kidding me? Learning through your mobile phone? Are you kidding me? Learning what? Let me give you a short, but typical conversation-- cell phone style. (For those already in an ESL classroom, I beg your forgiveness.)</p>\n<p>ESL Student: (Mobile phone rings. A musical theme. Maybe a Britney Spears tune ot the latest Tata Young ditty.)<br />\nHello.</p>\n<p>Friend: Where are you?</p>\n<p>Student: Starbucks.</p>\n<p>Friend: Really?</p>\n<p>Student: Yes!</p>\n<p>Friend: What are you having?</p>\n<p>Student: A cappuccino.</p>\n<p>Friend: Really?</p>\n<p>Student: Yes!</p>\n<p>Friend: Anything else?</p>\n<p>Student: A brownie.</p>\n<p>Friend: Really?</p>\n<p>Student: Yes!</p>\n<p>Friend: What else?</p>\n<p>Student: I got a new CD today.</p>\n<p>Friend: Really?</p>\n<p>Student: Yes!</p>\n<p>Okay, I\'ll stop now. We all know that this useless exchange can go on indefinately-- and often does. I defy anyone in the ESL world to come up with any educational value to this insipid and intellectually bereft conversation. </p>\n<p>There is a porno actress in the United States that has recently come out with a series of \"moan-tones\" for mobile phones. Imagine that. You\'re writing something on the board-- perhaps how to use adjectives as past and present participles-- when all of a sudden a series of orgasmic moans protrudes from one of your students\' pockets.</p>\n<p>Hey Lek, I\'m very exciting about your cell phone! Your cell phone is excited me!</p>\n<p>Here\'s some more drivel from the article:</p>\n<p>\"The beauty of m-learning is that students can collaborate with other learners or teachers via discussion forums and chat areas. They can also access their materials and teachers through websites and TV.\" </p>\n<p>Again, my apologies. How did students ever learn anything before cell phones and computers? Oh yeah! Books! Teachers! Debating and conversing with classmates. Do I have to go back to the Starbucks conversation?</p>\n<p>By the way, I\'m writing this column in an internet cafe in the heart of Bangkok. There are 11 people in this room including me. Two foreigners and nine Thais. Seven of the Thais-- mostly high-school boys-- are playing games. Violent games, by the looks of things. A Thai girl is writing a letter-- maybe to a fat bald German man in Dusseldorf asking for more money. I\'m not sure what the other one is doing. But the point is, no educational activities are being pursued here. Not in this room, anyway.</p>\n<p>Do these pedantic pinheads at the TESOL conference actually believe that human nature has changed that drastically in the last 50 or 60 years, so as to allow contemporary technology to be used for its intended purpose? It has been only 60 years since the liberation of Awschwitz; only 26 years since the fall of the Khemer Rouge; only 11 years since the Rwanda genocide; less than four years since 9/11 and the overthrow of the Taliban. And the last time I watched the news-- just a few hours ago-- we were still killing, raping, torturing, and molesting each other in huge numbers. Do these cyber snake-oil salesmen really think that they can transform the world through the apotheosis of technology? </p>\n<p>Here\'s another quote. Again, my sincerest apologies. Talking about his UK-based Ultralab and how m-learning works, Heppell says,</p>\n<p>\"This project takes their (people\'s) experience and adds a degree. Imagine when you already have prior knowledge and skills, just adding a degree to that.\"</p>\n<p>Just add a degree? Just add a degree and what? Presto! Instant education! Just add water and presto! Instant noodles! Instant education. Instant learning. Instant noodles. Isn\'t education NOT suppose to be instant? Isn\'t education--REAL education-- suppose to remind us, teach us, and warn us about the dangers of instant anything? Education is a process-- some might say a life-long process. It takes time, patience, persistence, and perseverance amoung other things. The pursuit of a university degree is not for everyone. </p>\n<p>You don\'t add a degree to experiences. You add experiences to a degree. Hard earned experiences. A university degree is stationary. It is stable. In fact, it is one of the only stable things remaining in an everchanging educational environment. And it must remain that way if real education is to take place.</p>\n<p>Now it\'s time to get serious, and no apologies for that.</p>\n<p>\"Our investment in education is relatively large, amounting to 251.2 billion Baht last year, while the population\'s access to and participation in education is quite impressive.\"</p>\n<p>This from Khun Chana Kasipar, head of the Vocational Education Commission. The population\'s access TO education? The last time I checked, large segments of the Thai population have little or no financial resources to fully take part in what is, in essence, still an elitist educational system.</p>\n<p>And, by the way, how and where was this 251.2 billion Baht spent? Certainly not on teacher\'s salaries, where a first year teacher in a government Thai school makes less than 6,500 Baht a month. The cell phones that many of my students use, and these cyber snake-oil salesmen speak of, are more than twice a Thai teacher\'s monthly salary! </p>\n<p>It would be far too easy for me to sit back and say that these people don\'t know what in the world they\'re talking about. But that wouldn\'t be true. The fact of the matter is, these cyber snake-oil salesmen know exactly what they\'re talking about. They know full well the societal consequences of their foolish words. And that\'s what makes them dangerous.</p>\n<p>While the internet can be an effective educational tool ONLY if used properly, it is both fraught with an overabundance of useless information and innundated with charlatans, quacks, swindlers, and perverts of all shapes and sizes. By and large the internet is a wasteland; a dangerous minefield of human debauchery where people-- especially children-- dare to play at their own peril. </p>\n<p>The problem with the internet as an educational tool is that it can teach us no more than can a really good teacher. We learn about history, and more importantly, FROM history. The internet has no history. People do. Societies do. The internet, as an educational tool, has no depth. People do. Good teachers do.</p>\n<p>As far as the internet is concerned, there\'s no THERE there. No history. No depth. No mind. No warmth. No heart. No soul. No bowels. It has no stories to tell. No myths to pass down to the next generation. </p>\n<p>While there are some very good parents out there who are limiting their children\'s use of the internet and supervising them accordingly, there are, undoubtably, many more naive and gullible parents who are buying into this \"cyber snake-oil\" hook, line, and sinker! I can understand why. But it makes false promises. </p>\n<p>It promises parents that their children will have unlimited access to a global ecomony. It tells parents-- especially those in the Third World and developing countries-- that their children can succeed and prosper ONLY with full access to technology. Some will succeed. The vast majority won\'t. That\'s life. Meanwhile, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.</p>\n<p>What is also missing here in this apotheosis of the cyberworld is any discussion of how governmental and societal forces are at play in oppressing their citizens by other means, either through a lack of politcal will, an antiquated and insufficient justice system, or social inequality between the sexes and other segments of a particular society. Social change, which gives ALL people in a given society equal access to education, justice, and jobs is not what this column is about. But these kinds of changes will go a long way in educating our children in a way they should be educated rather than simply setting them loose on the minefield that is the internet.</p>\n<p>One last thought. Children do not need computers in the classroom. They need parents at home. Good, loving parents. Computers have no arms. Parents do. Computers cannot read stories to their children. Caring parents can. Computers do not hug and kiss their children goodnight. Loving parents do. Computers do not, and can never create a warm and loving environment for their children to learn, love, grow, succeed, and prosper. But caring and loving parents can. Computers can never do anything for their children, because computers can\'t have children. Besides having no arms, no legs, no mind, no heart, no soul, and no bowels, computers also have no genitals. They cannot reproduce. An interesting fact that seemed to have escaped the cyber snake-oil salesmen in their attempt to deify computers.</p>\n<p>If the internet is to be used as an educational aid for our children, it must be used in conjuntion with a supportive and loving home environment where parents are in total control of their children\'s internet use. Otherwise technology in general, and the internet in particular, will become ever more dangerous for ourselves, our children, and the world.</p>','','2005-01-31 20:41:05',1,'2005-01-31 20:41:05','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(114,4,'Where children used to play','where-children-used-to-play','In the aftermath of the tsunami disaster','In this our darkest hour, seeing children once again at play.

This is now. My mother has Multiple Sclerosis.</p>\n<p>That Bingo and meatloaf lunch, including the French crooner and other bodily noises, took place six months ago while I was home on a six week holiday. I always enjoy going home, although it\'s a rarity. I\'m a restless soul and can\'t seem to stay home for very long. I\'m not sure where I got that from. I spent time between sleeping on my fathers couch, listening to an old, crippled cat croaking like a frog, and in my sister\'s basement. She\'s the one with two teenage daughters that I didn\'t recognize. Imagine, being away from home for so long that your own nieces become strangers.</p>\n<p>It was a warm day in late May when I left the nursing home. To say it\'s a depressing place is a huge understatement. It\'s been described as \"God\'s waiting room.\" People go there to die. That\'s a horrible thing to say, especially when my own mother is there.</p>\n<p>Walking down Ste. Catherine Street that warm afternoon, I began to ask myself some important questions: \"What is life all about? What matters most? What is the best way to live life? How should life best be lived?\" For six weeks I spent time with the people I love most. I ate the food I love most. But was I doing what mattered most?</p>\n<p>I went into Chapter\'s Books on Ste. Catherine Street, and looked through the Philosophy section. Besides \"Philosophy for Dummies,\" some of the titles actually fascinated me. \"The Socrates Cafe.\" \"Six Questions of Socrates.\" \"Life: The Way it Ought to be Lived.\" \"On Fate.\"<br />\n\"Man\'s Search for Meaning.\" \"What Matters Most.\" Wow! So much to read, so little time. So I bought a few of them hoping to find a nugget of truth, a pearl of wisdom about the way life ought to be lived; about our search for meaning; about what matters most.</p>\n<p>To tell you the truth, when I left my mother\'s nursing home on that warm day in May, I was scared. I was frightened. Actually, I was terrified! I was terrified because in 20 years from now, I could actually see myself where my mother is now-- playing Bingo with a bunch of crabby, grouchy, cantankerous old people who burp and fart and have forgotten where they left their teeth! I saw myself in 20 years with nothing to look forward to but the meatloaf lunch and watching endless re-runs of \"Who Want\'s to be a Millionaire?\" I saw myself in 20 years listening to the same French crooner-- or maybe her daughter-- singing the same songs. \"You\'d be like eaven to touch. Hi want to old you soooooooo much!\" I saw myself listening to-- or worse,<br />\nsmelling the burps and farts of my fellow nursing home comrades. I even saw myself joining them in their bodily music of \"The Old and the Restless!\"</p>\n<p>It was then that I made a very important decision walking through downtown Montreal around Concordia University. How can life best be lived? Simply by living it. By grabbing life by the balls befo re life grabs yours! I walked into a travel agency and bought myself a one way ticket to Bangkok. I considered it an early birthday present.</p>\n<p>Bangkok is certainly not the answer to most of life\'s ills. In fact, Bangkok has been known to contribute to many of life\'s ills. But Bangkok gives a person pause for thought. It also gives one the opportunity to live-- if we are willing to take advantage of that opportunity.</p>\n<p>I\'m not 25 anymore. I\'m 45. A 25 year old comes to Bangkok for a variety of reasons, but mostly to FIND himself. At 45 I\'m not the least bit interested in finding myself. It\'s way too late for that. I have neither the time, nor the energy. I came to Bangkok to BE myself. That takes courage and freedom. Don\'t get me wrong. One is no better that the other. I\'m talking about different stages in a person\'s life. There are plenty of 25, 45, and 65 year old pigs on Patpong both finding themselves and being themselves. But the big question is, what brought us here? What were-- and continue to be-- the specific circumstances that compelled every single one of us, young, middle-aged, and elderly, to buy that plane ticket and move to Thailand? The responses will probably vary not only from age group to age group, but from individual to individual. And that\'s the way it\'s suppose to be.</p>\n<p>Since my mother can\'t walk, her decendants, including myself, do her walking for her. I take her with me through Bangkok, (except Soi Cowboy! I doubt if she would appreciate that.) I have a picture of her in her wheelchair. I\'m kneeling down next to her, my right arm around her. She is smiling. So am I. She\'s smiling because her children and grandchildren are with her. Her legacy. </p>\n<p>Multiple Sclerosis is a hideous and insidious disease. It robs you of just about everything. It robs you of your ability to walk, to run, to leap with joy. It robs you of your ability to cook dinner for your children and grandchildren, those very same wonderful meals she used to loving prepare 15 years earlier. It robs you of the ability to get yourself out of bed in the morning and pee without someone watching over you. But most of all, this disease-- any disease-- can rob you of your dignity. Every shread of dignity you thought you had, and took years of your life to build.</p>\n<p>Multiple Sclerosis may have robbed my mother of the ability to do many things. But there\'s one thing it can never rob her of: Her \"Willingness.\" Her willingness to see and watch her children and grandchildren continue to grow, and live the lives that we were meant to live, is her legacy. And what a legacy to leave! Her willingness to go on, in spite of everything, in spite of all the indignities she has suffered, is her legacy. A legacy that has been passed down to her children and her children\'s children so that we may be free and have the courage to leave legacies of our own.</p>\n<p>I remember my grandfather\'s funeral several years ago. In my eulogy to him, I looked out at his four children, one of which was my father. I looked out at his grandchildren-- my sisters and my cousins. I thanked my grandfather for leaving a legacy-- this wonderful legacy of successful decendants, who will take his torch and move forward. What I didn\'t realize at the time was that you don\'t have to die in order to leave a legacy. Watching your children and grandchildren grow, live, love and learn-- actively participating in this living legacy-- is arguably life\'s greatest gift. </p>\n<p>People continue to ask me why I came to Bangkok. My students ask. My fellow teachers ask. Some of my employers ask. I\'ve even been asked at job interviews. My answers were ordinary and, quite frankly, boring. \"To teach English,\" I responded. \"To travel; to see the world; to meet many different people.\" This is all true. But it\'s only part of the story. A very small part. </p>\n<p>Now here\'s the REAL reason why I came to Thailand. I came here to live life the way it ought to be lived; I came here not to find myself, but to BE myself; I came here to live the story of MY life, not anyone else\'s; I came here to do what matters most; I came here not because I expect more from life, but because life expects more from me; I came here not to change people, but to have them change me.</p>\n<p>But most of all, I came here to leave a legacy. My grandparents passed the legacy torch to my parents, and they, in turn, passed it down to me. This legacy is an awesome responsibility. Contained within this legacy is the responsibility to make my parents and family proud; to not let them down. </p>\n<p>I have been given that torch, that legacy, and I have taken it to Bangkok with honor and pride. This is no time to watch the parade go by. As my mother courageously lives her life within the confines of a Montreal nursing home, I will take the torch handed down to me and move forward into life, into the parade. I will not watch the parade go by. I will join it. I will join it.</p>','','2004-11-30 20:53:36',1,'2004-11-30 20:53:36','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(116,4,'Globilization at its best','globilization-at-its-best','Universal applications of ESL teaching approaches and methods','For those of us who have taught ESL in at least three of four different countries realize a major problem.

','<blockquote><p>\"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.\"</p>\n<p>----Ancient Proverb.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I recently had the pleasure and the privilege of listening to Dr. Jack C. Richards, the author of the New Interchange series for ESL students. He was giving a lecture at AUA Language Center here in Bangkok. Even though his speech was ambitiously titled,\"Learning From Other Voices--- Collaborative Approaches to Teacher Development\", it was both engaging and relevent. A timely topic in today\'s rapidly changing teaching environment. </p>\n<p>Dr. Richards raised some very interesting questions about the topic of teacher development, and how schools can better help their teachers to improve their skills. Those of us who have been in the ESL teaching profession long enough already know that finding a school which is dedicated to the continual growth of its teachers is extremely rare. </p>\n<p>Let\'s face it. Most language schools are small, have very few resources, and are run by greedy business people. Even the bigger schools are not immune to greed. They no more care about foreigners and the unique teaching skills a lot of us bring, than they care about their own people and the teaching skills that they bring. Money is the stuff these greedy business people smell. And the more of it they smell, the greedier they become. So hats off to schools like AUA and the few others who are dedicated to teacher support and development. These schools deserve to be in the spotlight. </p>\n<p>For those of us who have taught ESL in at least three of four different countries realize a major problem. All ESL teaching is local. What works in Thailand can get you fired in Korea. I know that from experience. Most Thais like to have fun in the classroom and have problems focusing and concentrating on more serious matters. Most Koreans just want to practice speaking with little or no listening activities. Free talking, they call it. Most of the students in Muslim countries are too fixated on grammar to care enough to listen and speak effectively. Most of the Chinese and Japanese students are far too serious and think learning is best when their collective noses are being held to the proverbial grindstone. Having some fun in the classroom is the furthest thing from their mind.</p>\n<p>For some, these distinct variations of learning styles and practices may not be a problem. It\'s just cultural. For me, it\'s a direct reflection of how little we all know about ESL teaching. It\'s a reflection of how little thought and effort the whole ESL community has put into the idea of how students learn another language. Instead of presenting students with universal propositions of learning the English language, we pander to their cultural instincts. Instead of being honest with them and letting them know where the \"rubber meets the road\"--- that it\'s hard work to learn a language--- to learn anything at all--- we give into the idea that it\'s bad to \"rock the boat.\" </p>\n<p>So most ESL students world wide continue to pay their money and get very little in return. It\'s everyone\'s fault. The students for actually believing that they can learn something from a 22 year old backpacker with a $30,000 student loan to pay off; the teacher, who has little or nothing in common with most of the students, and is just trying to \"get by\" in a foreign country; and most of the schools who couldn\'t care less about the students or the teachers as long as the money keeps rolling in. </p>\n<p>I don\'t mean to sound so negative here. Believe it or not, this is the reality of much of the ESL world. It may be sad, but it\'s true. Fortunately there are some people who are trying to fix it. There are people out there who are putting some serious thought into how to improve the ESL profession. And it is a profession. Not just a way to pay off a student loan or meet exotic women.</p>\n<p>Although Dr. Richards\' speech was engaging, it was too \"local\" in scope for my taste. Dr. Richards is a good man with a very good series of ESL textbooks, but I would like to have heard of more \"universal\" ways to approach ESL teaching. </p>\n<p>Success guru Dr. Stephen R. Covey will be in Bangkok this month. His \"Seven Habits of Highly Effective People\" is my Bible. It\'s also a great book for teachers who wish to organize their lives and teach more effectively. So after Dr. Richards\' speech, I began thinking. (Always dangerous for me!) I began thinking about the mutual obligations that schools and teachers have towards each other. (I think that\'s what Dr. Richards was also talking about.) And with Dr. Covey coming to town, I\'m thinking about the \"Seven Habits of Highly Effective Schools\" and the \"Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teachers.\" The two are not mutually exclusive. One cannot be discussed without discussing the other. </p>\n<p>So here we go.</p>\n<p>The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Schools:<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>1) Education First; Entertainment Second.</p>\n<p>Let\'s start with a basic fact. Students are paying money to learn English. Here in Thailand, it could be 15--20% of their monthly income. That\'s \"Mucho Baht\" for the average Thai. Schools and teachers have a mutual obligation to teach these students English. Yes, we can certainly have some fun (Sanook) while teaching and learning. That\'s important. I sometimes like to sing grammar songs in class. Mark Hancock\'s \"Singing Grammar\" by Cambridge University Press is always fun to use. </p>\n<p>But some teachers get carried away by bringing a guitar to class and doing their John Denver impersonation. What\'s next, having the students sit on huge beanbag cushions and getting them in touch with their inner child? Primordial scream therapy, perhaps? Fun is good sometimes. But let\'s not lose sight of why we\'re really here. </p>\n<p>The question that we should be asking students as they leave the classroom is, \"What did you learn today?\" Not, \"Sanook, mai?\" (Did you have fun?) </p>\n<p>2) Continuous Teacher Support and Development. </p>\n<p>This Dr. Richards dealt with in his speech. And I dealt with it in my last column. Great schools support their teachers and help them to develop and grow not only as teachers, but as people. Support, development, encouragement and mentorship. It\'s an ongoing process.</p>\n<p>3) Sell Teachers, Not Books.</p>\n<p>Far too many schools get into the terrible habit of believing that textbooks are more important than teachers. This is wrong. While books are an important learning tool, schools should never forget that teachers are the school\'s number one resource. Even with the internet, people still learn best from other people. It\'s been that way since the beginning of time. By selling their teachers--- by putting teachers first--- great schools are reinforcing the important and profound belief that the human approach to education if still, by far, the best way for everyone to succeed. </p>\n<p>4) Stress Quality Over Quantity; Substance Over Appearance.</p>\n<p>Great schools not only have great teachers, they also have great students. Students that want to be there. And teachers that want to be there. Students that want to learn. And teachers that want to teach. Sensing a pattern here? Great teaching and great learning go hand in glove. Students that are forced to be there by a third party-- a parent-- can bring the whole class down. Great schools train their teachers well. They also choose their students well.</p>\n<p>5) Bring the Teachers into the Decision Making Process.</p>\n<p>It\'s not enough for schools to train their teachers well. They must also trust them. And have faith in them. And believe that they are doing the right thing where the students are concerned. Bringing teachers into the decision making process-- whether it be scheduling or classroom management issues-- shows that the school trusts itself enough to treat its teachers as full partners in the continued growth and success of every aspect of the school.</p>\n<p>6) Be A Catalyst For Change Instead of Simply Reacting to Change.</p>\n<p>Great schools lead the way. They realize that we live in an everchanging world. Great schools welcome change and thrive on it--- whether those changes are economic, social or both. They don\'t react negatively to change, and they certainly are not afraid of it. Great schools see change as a good thing. An opportunity for continued growth and development. And as an opportunity to propel itself, its teachers, and its students into further greatness.</p>\n<p>7) Expect More From Your Teachers and Students Than They Are Willing to Give.</p>\n<p>Great schools challenge their teachers and students. This is a touchy issue for a lot of people. Recently I had a discussion with a fellow teacher at AUA. We were talking generally about the ESL world and I was telling him that a major problem with language schools world wide is that they never demand more from the students than the students are willing to give. It\'s simply bad for business. I understand that. The students are paying money, and if they want to play games and sing songs, then they should play games and sing songs. </p>\n<p>But it is PRECISELY BECAUSE the students are paying money that we have an added responsibility to teach them to the best of our ability. Great schools eliminate the tomfoolery. Expect more from the teachers and students and you will get more.</p>\n<p>I would like to throw in an 8th habit here. Since Dr. Covey\'s new book, \"The 8th Habit\" is now in bookstores, I think it\'s only fair.</p>\n<p>8) Designate Every Last Friday of the Month as \"Free Pizza and Chicken Wing Day!\"</p>\n<p>For some this may be the most important habit of all! Who can resist free pizza and chicken wings? Especially when the school is footing the bill.</p>\n<p>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers:<br />\n------------------------------------------------------------</p>\n<p>1) Establish Trust and Mutual Respect From the Get-go.</p>\n<p>It\'s extremely important to put your students at ease, especially during the first few classes.<br />\nSo let the students know that you are on their side; that you want them to succeed. Create a relaxed and cordial learning atmosphere. </p>\n<p>I knew one teacher that loved to bring New Age CD\'s to class--- nature sounds and all that stuff. I guess he thought that the students would love nothing more than to hear sparrows chirping, owls hooting in the forest, fish flipping in the water, and wolves howling in the wilderness as they conjugated verbs. Personally I would leave all of that mamby-pamby, artsy-fartsy, neo-hippy stuff exactly where it belongs--- on the tarmac at LAX.</p>\n<p>Like I said, it\'s important to have some fun, so bring in a few activities from time to time. But establishing some ground rules right from the start is just as important. A few that I have are very simple:</p>\n<p>1) No talking while the teacher is talking. Pay attention and stay focused.<br />\n2) Leave class momentarily if you must use your cellphone .<br />\n3) Come to class prepared to learn and have fun. Bring your books, notebooks, pen, and<br />\npencil.</p>\n<p>You\'ll be surprised how many students sometimes don\'t follow these simple rules. These rules are for the student\'s protection. If they are broken enmass, then chaos will ensure and the whole class will fall by the wayside. It is the teacher\'s responsibility to make sure that that never happens. Once the teacher and the students begin to trust and respect each other, then these rules will help the class run like a well oiled machine.</p>\n<p>2) Act as Their Guide and Leader, Just as You Would Want to be Guided and Lead.</p>\n<p>Just as the school supports you as a teacher; just as the school helps to develop your skills as a teacher, so should you, as a teacher, support your students and assist them in developing their skills as learners. Great teachers support and help to develop their students.</p>\n<p>Great teachers are leaders and good listeners. Classrooms are not \"free-for-alls\" where anything goes. Students look to us for leadership, and setting guidelines will earn a good teacher the respect he or she deserves. </p>\n<p>3) Know What Your \"Serving Up\" to the Students.</p>\n<p>This habit I learned from Dave Hopkins, a Teacher Trainer at TEFL International in Ban Phe, Thailand. He was also the Director of AUA. I guess another way to say this is \"Know your students well\", or \"Know what your students are capable of.\" Challenge them, but don\'t give them more than they can chew. Some teachers employ what is referred to as the \"A + 1\" technique-- ability plus the next level. ESL learning one level at a time.</p>\n<p>4) Maximize Listening and Speaking.</p>\n<p>\"Listening is learning; speaking is refinement.\" That\'s another Dave Hopkinsism. At least that\'s where I learned it from. While reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary are important, very important in some ways-- listening and speaking should be the numbers one and two punch in learning English. </p>\n<p>5) Don\'t take \"Yes, Teacher!\" for an answer: Go Beyond Simple Understanding.</p>\n<p>I used to make the same mistake over and over again. Whenever I finished explaining or modelling something, I would ask the class, \"So, do you understand?\" Ten or fifteen students in unison, \"YES, TEACHER!!!! \" I And I used to believe them. Concept check by asking \"Wh\" questions and \"Yes-No\" questions. Demonstrate and model exercises and activities--- even the simplest ones-- until you can see the whites of your student\'s eyeballs.</p>\n<p>I try not to let something go until most of the students fully understand. It could be frustrating at times, but it\'s also professionally fulfilling once they finally do \"get it.\" The students will also respect you for putting in the extra time and effort. </p>\n<p>6) Expect More From the Students than they Expect From Themselves.</p>\n<p>ESL students are notorious for expecting very little from themselves. Just as great schools expect a lot from their teachers, great teachers expect a lot from their students. So push them whenever you need to--- but not too much. Let them know that failure is not an option.<br />\nAnd laziness and lack of effort on their part will neither be ignored nor overlooked.</p>\n<p>7) Learn From Other Teachers. Be Open to New Ideas and Approaches From Your Peers.</p>\n<p>I have a dear friend in the ESL world--- a few of them, actually. We taught together in Korea in 1998-99. I learned so much from her about teaching and about life. She was and still is a great teacher and a good friend. She\'s still teaching in Northern Africa. But she did have this bad habit in the past, and hope she\'s over it. </p>\n<p>She is a wealth of great teaching, and has a plethora of great activities for the ESL classroom. However, she was almost always reluctant to share them with other teachers. (I was one of very few that she shared them with, and I am forever fortunate and greatful for that.) This reluctance was sad because she was really generous of heart and spirit. So many people have so much to learn from her. If you have great teaching ideas, then please don\'t hesitate to share them with your fellow teachers. They will be greatful for it, and will in turn share their ideas with you. I am greatful when other teachers share ideas with me. And I promise to share my ideas as well--- once I have them!</p>\n<p>For the students who put in the effort it takes to learn, guide then, support them, encourage them. Let them know that you expect them to succeed. Expect success and you will get success far more often than you realize.</p>\n<p>Again, an 8th habit.</p>\n<p>8) Reflect, Reflect, Reflect.</p>\n<p>This may be the most important habit of all. Great teachers are reflective teachers. They constantly ask themselves, \"What could I do to improve my lessons?\" and, \"What could I have done to teach that last l class better?\" Sometimes I\'m up nights wondering about this. It\'s a good habit to get into.</p>\n<p>If I am to be honest with myself, I am not a very good teacher. At least not now. I am not near the level of teaching ability and effectiveness that I want to be. But day by day, week by week, month by month, I am improving. Right now I\'m very lucky. I\'m surrounded by great people who are helping me to become a much better teacher. And I am greatful for that.</p>\n<p>In the end I think that great teaching comes down to very few things--- like the ancient proverb that I began with. It\'s okay to give someone a fish now and then. It shows that we can reach out to people; it shows that we care; it shows our humanity. But teaching someone how to fish goes way beyond simply reaching out to others. It connects us all in ways that we, in our limited wisdom and intelligence, can hardly imagine. </p>\n<p>Teaching people how to fish propels humanity into the 21st century, whether or not we are prepared for it. Teaching people how to fish forces us to look into the eyes of another human being and see ourselves. When you give a man a fish and feed him for a day, you can then send him on his way and forget about him. When you teach a man how to fish and feed him for a lifetime, he becomes a part of us--- of you and me. We cannot send him on his way. We cannot forget him. And he will certainly not forget you. </p>\n<p>As great schools and great teachers, let\'s teach our students how to fish.</p>','','2004-10-31 21:01:05',1,'2004-10-31 21:01:05','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(117,4,'Advice you can truly use','advice-you-can-truly-use','Don\'t listen to those barstool experts!','Having been warned-- or advised-- that appearance is very important here in Thailand, (just as important as Japan, Korea, or Taiwan I suppose), I set out on job interviews.

This was about ten years ago when I was still young and naive enough to think that a philosophical mind can change the world.<br />\n\"If you want to know how smart you are\", Professor Joos continued, \"just compare yourself to an idiot!\"<br />\nThe class laughed. Who would have thought that Philosophy 101 could have been that much fun? But underneath all that laughter there was something more serious, something more meaningful. And it is only now, ten years later, that I think I understand what my old, venerable Professor was really trying to say.<br />\nI am now a 45 year old English teacher in Bangkok. I have also spent four years trying to teach English in Korea, so I know what it\'s like to be surrounded by idiots. I arrived in Thailand the beginning of June of this year. I\'ve spent two months going to countless job interviews in Bangkok. Some good, some bad. I am now teaching full time at a reputable language school in the heart of Bangkok. (More on that a bit later.) During that time I searched the internet for advice, including ajarn.com. Anything that I can take with me to the interview. Again, some good advice, some bad.<br />\nHaving been warned-- or advised-- that appearance is very important here in Thailand, (just as important as Japan, Korea, or Taiwan I suppose), I set out on these interviews. Personally I couldn\'t care less if my socks didn\'t match my pants, or what my interviewer thought of my Bart Simpson tie. (My flashy ties are conversation starters. My students like them, and that\'s just fine with me.)<br />\nMost of the advice for teachers on the Thailand websites struck me as either superficial or downright absurd. </p>\n<p>--- Wear only long sleeve plain white shirts.<br />\n--- Make sure your shoes are dark and have laces.<br />\n--- No facial hair. You don\'t want to look like a monster.<br />\n--- Apply a superfluous amount of deodorant. There are plenty of people on the skytrain.<br />\n--- Make sure your teeth are pearly white.<br />\n--- Pop copious amounts of mints. Get rid of that chronic Western halitosis.<br />\n--- No flashy Bart Simpson ties.<br />\n--- No periwinkle blue socks with a cow brown belt.<br />\n--- Boxers, not briefs.<br />\n--- Briefs, not boxers.</p>\n<p>And on and on and on. Okay, so I\'m getting a bit carried away. But you get the point. Now I have nothing against looking good. And even less against smelling good. But what are these people thinking? Some of this advice is good. No one wants to walk into class with bad breath and pit stains. But let\'s not get carried away. A little common sense does go a long way. In my first two months in Bangkok, I actually followed some of this advice. Come to think of it, maybe that\'s why I got absolutely nowhere.<br />\nThat\'s why I have come up with some of my own advice. Actually, it\'s not really my own. I wish it were. I think it\'s brilliant. I wish I would have followed this advice three months ago. I\'m glad to share it with you. It\'s practical, pragmatic advice. I call it, Advice You Can Truly Use. It\'s in no particular order, but each one, I believe, is important.<br />\nSo, you\'re a qualified ESL teacher seeking a job in Bangkok. What to do? Where to go? When to go? Who to see? Why even bother? How to get there? </p>\n<p>1) Before finding a job, find a friend.</p>\n<p>Don\'t make the same mistake I did and try to do everything by yourself. Find the support<br />\nand encouragement in the ESL community that you will need to get started. And you will<br />\nneed a lot of support and encouragement. </p>\n<p>2) Trust if you must, but verify to clarify.</p>\n<p>This is a variation of Ronald Reagan\'s principle of \"trust but verify\" when he dealt with the<br />\nformer Soviet Union. Obviously, we must begin to trust at some point during the interview<br />\nprocess. But it\'s important to remember some common sense rules. The old expression<br />\n\"don\'t take no for an answer\" may work in certain situations, but there are times when we<br />\nshouldn\'t take \'yes\' for an answer either. Remember, an interview is a two-way street. Do<br />\nsome research. Talk to people. Ask questions-- lots of questions. And don\'t take yes for an answer. It\'s not what people say that matters, it\'s what they DO.</p>\n<p>3) Separate the wheat from the chaff.</p>\n<p>You do this by asking one question, and one question alone: \"What support systems and<br />\nmentorship programs do you have in place to ensure the success and continued improve-<br />\nment of your teachers?\" If there is no such system in place, don\'t walk, RUN to the nearest<br />\nskytrain.<br />\nSchools and agencies also separate the wheat from the chaff. We all do it, so let\'s not<br />\npretend it doesn\'t happen. I\'ve been to agencies advertising for corporate ESL teachers<br />\nwhere I had to take a grammar test. That was their foolish and inept way of attempting<br />\nto know the good from the bad teachers. These agencies were run by other Westerners<br />\nwho should have known better. A far better way would be to actually observe us teaching.<br />\nBut they would be forced to leave the comfort of their offices. So instead they continue to<br />\nchoose the lazy approach. It is also interesting to note that a lot of these same agencies advertise for teachers every two or three weeks!<br />\nThey are either for the teachers, or they are against them.</p>\n<p>4) Plan and prepare constantly, and teach in accordance with what matters most.</p>\n<p>It is important not only to prepare for the job interview, it is also essential to plan and<br />\nprepare for the lessons we\'re going to teach. This shows professionalism and pride in<br />\nour work. To not prepare is to not care. And our students deserve the best that we have<br />\nto offer. I once had an interview at a well known Bangkok language school where the interviewer, a middle-aged Thai woman, looked up from her paper and asked me, \"So Michael, are you the one with the Engineering degree?\" For the record, my name is Steve and my degree is in Philosophy. Just because some of your interviewers are unprofessional and unprepared, doesn\'t mean that you should be too. (It is also interesting to note that she didn\'t much care for my Marilyn Monroe tie.)<br />\nIs is very important to ask yourself two essential questions that will help you to become a<br />\nbetter teacher.</p>\n<p>--- What are the three most important values in my life?<br />\n--- What are the top three things that I look for in a school?</p>\n<p>In my case it is this: The three most important values in my life are honesty, trust, and co-operation. I\'ll throw respect in there as well. The three top things that I look for in a school are a limited stress environment which contributes to a healthy atmosphere and ensures the continued good health, physical and emotional, of its teachers; a sense of fun and play in the classroom where students and teachers want to be there and look forward to coming back; and teacher support, encouragement and mentorship which will contribute and ensure the teacher\'s continued success within the organization.<br />\nThat\'s what\'s important to me, and I look for schools that incorporate each and every one of these values. Different teachers, like different schools, have different values. It\'s important to match teachers and schools based on values. I was once asked why I teach according to my values. I teach according to my values because I LIVE according to my values. Consistency means something. It\'s that simple.</p>\n<p>5) Surround yourself with great people.</p>\n<p>This is not just a five word sentence. These five words are a way of life, and they can change your life forever. I know, because these five words have changed mine. In his book \"Leadership\", former New York Mayor Rudy Guliani advises everyone to do this. Teachers are leaders-in-the-making, and leaders are also great teachers. All good teachers and great leaders recognize and accept their limitations. By surrounding yourself with great people-- by purposely seeking out the company of others greater and better than yourself-- you are helping to make yourself greater and better in the process.<br />\nI am extremely fortunate. I just started to teach full time at AUA Rajadamri. I am constantly surrounded by great people-- great teachers, far better than I will ever be. People like Dee Parker, Phil Chappell, Jefferey Taschner, John Wrenshall, Steve Tait, Khun Pao Dabbaransi, and great teachers like Andy Harris, Sean O\'Malley, James McBride, and my mentor Patrick Joyce. (If I\'ve neglected to mention others, I apologize.) Most of these people have taken the time to teach me-- and others-- how to become a better teacher. I am eternally greatful for this, and I look forward to learning more from these great teachers and leaders.<br />\nTraining teachers has the ancillary effect of turning good teachers into better people. The support and encouragement that teachers receive at AUA does just that. I\'m not sure if the staff at AUA realizes this, but they should. Schools must support their teachers by training them properly and encouraging their need to grow and improve. Not only as teachers, but as people. </p>\n<p>6) Put people into two distinct categories: Those who are contributors to your success, and<br />\nthose who are impediments to it.</p>\n<p>This is another way of separating the wheat from the chaff, but it also serves another important function. It forces people to take their responsibilities seriously, especially when a large part of their responsibility involves looking out for you and ensuring your safety and well being. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people here-- and elsewhere in the ESL world-- who want to see foreigners fail. These are the people who don\'t want to see foreigners succeed where they haven\'t-- or feel they haven\'t-- and who will continually put obstacles in our way. These people are not only a nuisance, they are dangerous, and should be avoided at all costs.<br />\nThose who take the time and put in the effort to contribute to another\'s success are a rare breed. They fully understand the immense importance of this endeavor. Success breeds success. It\'s a win-win situation. By ensuring the continued success of our fellow teachers, we ensure the continued success of us all, students and teachers alike. </p>\n<p>Of course there is a lot more advice out there, and I welcome more of it from others. By surrounding myself with great people I now finally realize what Professor Joos really meant all those years ago. You may feel comfortable being in the company of a room full of idiots. You may even feel superior. But odds are you\'ll never really learn anything. And you\'ll never become greater or better than you are at that moment.<br />\nBy surrounding yourself with great people, you have a wonderful opportunity. The opportunity to change. The opportunity to learn. The opportunity to improve. The opportunity to grow. Schools who do not allow their teachers to change, learn, improve, and grow-- or schools who do not, for whatever reason, give their teachers this opportunity, are not worth our time, effort, and energy. It\'s not that they\'re bad schools, although a lot of them are. If teachers are not given these opportunities, then how can the students change, learn, improve, and grow? And isn\'t that why we\'re all here? </p>','','2004-09-30 21:07:23',1,'2004-09-30 21:07:23','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(118,4,'Fresh off the boat','fresh-off-the-boat','Newbies.

I just wanted a couple of drinks and to relax in a small inconspicuous corner of the bar after a day of teaching.<br />\nThis is a good bar. One of those ubiquitous outdoor beer bars found all over Bangkok, this one on Sukhumvit near Asok. I feel comfortable there, almost as comfortable as Norm on Cheers. People know my name and smile when I walk in. No one bothers me-- at least not anymore. Not even that bargirl named-- oh, I forgot. But at least she\'s stopped putting a small but visible sign on the counter right in front of me that read, \"Please buy me Heineken.\"<br />\nRight after Noi fixed me my usual, a gin and tonic-- heavy on the gin, light on the tonic-- she went to serve another customer. And that\'s when it happened. Again. While talking to this customer, she looked over at me. Then back to him. Then over to me. After this irritating variation of ping-pong, he got off the barstool and began to saunter my way.<br />\nHe introduced himself as Mike, but it just as easily could have been John or Jim or Hal or Bob. At that point, names don\'t matter. What mattered at that moment was his grin. It was that same stupid, dopey and half-witted grin that just about all first timers have after arriving in the City of Angels. As a redneck from Texas would have said, \"Hell, he was grinnin\' like a possum right after mating season!\" </p>\n<p>After finding out that we\'re both Canadian, Mike looks around and says, \"Wow! Look at the babes! Amazing, eh?\" Talking about \"the babes\" always follows the introductions with a newbie.<br />\nThis guy kept turning and twisting his head in ways I thought were physically impossible. It reminded me of the girl in The Exorcist. Very creepy.<br />\nThis Mike guy was your typical Bangkok newbie. Early 20\'s, tall, good shape, and tatooed. Lots of tatoos. And, of course, the grin. Like a retard who was just given his favourite toy. \"I just got here yesterday, and I can\'t believe it. I mean-- wow-- the babes! How do you handle it?\"<br />\nI was trying to think of an answer. I\'m still not sure there is one. I downed my gin and tonic and ordered another. He was drinking Singha.<br />\n\"Hey!\" He slapped me on the shoulder with the back of his hand to get my attention. It worked. \"Is that a ladyboy?\"<br />\n\"Huh?\"<br />\n\"A ladyboy. He pointed to a bargirl. \"You know, one of those guys that---\"<br />\n\"Yes, yes, I know. Ah, no I-- I don\'t think so.\"<br />\n\"Good, because I wouldn\'t want-- I mean-- I hate misunderstandings. I\'ve heard about them you know-- the ladyboys.\"<br />\n\"There\'s a saying in Thailand\", I reminded him. \"Sometimes the best looking women in Thailand are men. You have to watch it.\" Again, that grin!<br />\n\"So Steve, I hear you\'re an English teacher.\" I must have looked puzzled. \"The bartender told me.\"<br />\n\"Oh, Noi. Yes, I teach English here.\"<br />\n\"What do you need to teach English over here?\"<br />\n\"Two eyes, two ears, and a clean pair of underwear?\"<br />\n\"Oh? Anything else?\"<br />\nI think he thought I was serious. I told him what I thought he needed, giving him the benefit of my seven years of living and teaching in different parts of Asia. \"Do you have a B.A?\", I asked. \"A teaching certificate? TESOL? TEFL?\"<br />\n\"Any B.A?\"<br />\nI nodded.<br />\n\"TESOL? TEFL?\" He could hardly get the acronyms out of his mouth. \"Well no, I don\'t have any of them. But I know people that are here now, like this girl from Canada-- no degree, no certificate-- and she\'s making a stack of money. A stack of money!\", he said again slapping his meaty hand on the counter of the bar. \"I want one of those jobs!\"<br />\nThen it hit me, like the proverbial ton of bricks. Playboy Mike was asking for my help. But the thing is, he didn\'t need it. I was the one who needed HIS help. </p>\n<p>I\'ve seen it all before. We all have. These young, naive 20 something newbies, these walking erections with a backpack, who get off the airplane at Don Muang with nothing but a goofy grin and a 42 work vocabulary, and magically land that 40,000 Baht a month job te aching English, while the rest of us, with our credentials, our education, and our experience are left wondering where the good teaching jobs have gone.<br />\nWhether it\'s Playboy Mike or Dashing Dan or Naughty Nick, the story is the same. \"I was just sittin\' on the beach and relaxin\' on Koh Phi Phi, just mindin\' my own business, and then BAM! from out of nowhere some guy just offers me a job at his school, and BAM! I\'m makin\' 40,000 Baht!\"<br />\nPlayboy Mike and Thailand. It\'s a perfect match. All Playboy Mike has to offer is his incessant grin and enthusiasm to a bunch of Thai recruiters and Language School directors who wouldn\'t know a good teacher if it slapped them on both butt cheeks and called them Honey! What chance do older, more qualified and experienced teachers have in that kind of environment? I was crying in my drinks that night while Playboy Mike was laughing in his. I understand why.<br />\nSo far I\'ve been lucky here in Bangkok. Even though I\'m still struggling to find that really good teaching job, I\'ve met some great people-- other farangs who are helping me to become a better teacher, especially for adult Thai students. I am greatful to them. I believe that we, as foreigners, should be going out of our way to help one another. Since it is not easy to live and work in a foreign country, that should be our primary concern and responsibility. I love the students that I now teach. We are learning together, and they are a joy to be with.<br />\nA part of me wanted to help Mike. But another part of me-- the sadistic part-- wished for that uniqely Thai misunderstanding: That he would have one too many Singhas, go for that Katoey, and experience his own personal Crying Game. I feel guilty for even thinking that.</p>\n<p>So here\'s what I\'m now thinking. Let Playboy Mike, Dashing Dan, and Naught Nick enjoy Thailand. Let then experience the Land of Smiles of their own terms. They\'re entitled to it. They don\'t need our help. But for those of us who are older, wiser, better educated, and more qualified to teach English, let\'s continue to support each other. For those of us who have truly taken Thailand into our hearts and want to make it our home-- not our temporary playground-- let\'s continue to support and encourage one another.<br />\nIf Playboy Mike and the others want to join us in becoming fully qualified members of Thailand\'s ESL community, they are certainly more than welcome. But until that time, we have our own community: A community of older, wiser, more experienced and more qualified English teachers who are working hard to become the best that we can be.<br />\nIt is this that we have to sell, regardless of who is buying.</p>','','2004-08-31 21:27:11',1,'2004-08-31 21:27:11','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(119,7,'Surviving Tokyo trains','surviving-tokyo-trains','A commuter\'s guide','I hope that this quick tutorial will give you sporting chance should you step on a Tokyo rush hour train, but practice makes perfect so if you really want to get good you\'ll just have join the suffering masses and battle it out on a daily basis. ','<p>Waiting on the platform for the next sardine express to arrive is the ideal time to get warmed up. A couple of neck twirls, hip twists and ankle rolls are a good way to get your body limber for the ensuing battle. The platform is probably more neglected than it should be. Good platform position ensures a nice entry onto the train and the potential to grab some prime real-estate before the next guy does. Ideally you should be positioned closest to the opening door, just aside to allow disembarking passengers to spill out, but not too far to the side lest passengers pushed out who intend to re-board get the jump on you. On a super crowded train (and what else is there during Tokyo rush hour) the possibility of getting a seat is nil. Seated people typically board the train at its point of origination, which is evidently somewhere north of Russia. These people guard their seats with the territoriality of a pit bull. Most likely they have strapped on pampers to prevent bodily functions from forcing them off their foot squared perch. So let\'s put the idea of competing for a seat to rest. Still there is certainly a pecking order among the standing. The best standing positions are halfway between the doors, directly in front of the seats. This position is as far away from the door areas as possible translating into the minimal possible squeeze. Also this position gives the passenger access to the overhead rack. Being a good salary(wo)man, you will undoubtedly have a briefcase of sorts that will strain your shoulder over the course of time so the overhead rack is a luxury that shouldn\'t be understated. </p>\n<p>The second best position would be standing immediately behind position number one. This position eliminates some squeeze, but does not give access to the overhead rack. Now, the worst possible position is debatable. It is either directly in front of the door - photos of gloved train station attendants pushing people come to mind - or in the center of the door area. Either way your crushed. Is it better to be crushed between two human bodies or simply a human body and door? I leave this point unresolved and would encourage the reader to experiment with both (as a commuter you would undoubtedly have ample opportunity to do so) before choosing which constitutes the greater hell. When arriving a train station that you do not intend to get off at it is important to jockey for more prominent positions in the pecking order. This often runs contrary to common sense and decency on public transportation. Unless you are pancaked against the door, under no circumstances get off the train. If you do get off the train you are right back on the bottom rung and the cycle becomes endless. The thing to do is A) guard your position if it is good or there is no possibility of improvement; B) push your way inward toward a more prominent position that is opening up. The reason this flies in the face of common decency is that at the very least you will be hindering someone trying to get off if not pushing directly against them. Alas, this is the country that gave birth to Sumo. If you are trying to de-board you can use your bag as a sort of shield to push through the crowd. As a foreigner you will likely have a height/weight advantage.

','<p>How does one prepare for life as a Japanese salaryman? That\'s a question that I am currently asking myself. A friend of mine suggested a manga series which follows the fictitious career of a salaryman as a good primer. And so I started reading the series \'Shima, Kousuke\' (last name first, first name last). It confirmed for me many things I had already known. One thing that every good salaryman must do is commute. My commute will take me one hour and into the heart of Tokyo. I can expect to share my commute with a train car of 300 of my closest friends. Undoubtedly I will exit the train at the beginning of each work day feeling vaguely violated. I will feel doubly so upon my return home at the end of the day. Of course I can soothe the pain of the commute home with a quick alcohol lubrication at one of the many \'izakaya\' around the train stations. Most of these will be almost as packed as the trains on a weekday evening. If I do decide for the post-work fuel injection then I will have to time my toilet trips carefully. Most of the commuter trains don\'t have facilities and are to crowded to move about in anyway. If in the afternoons I can look forward to theizakaya , in the mornings I can look forward to lunch. I will have the choice of noodles, noodles or more noodles. There are also noodles if the other options don\'t appeal to me. The life of asalaryman is not all crowded humanity and consumption. A good salaryman must also attend many meetings. The first meeting is on Monday morning. This is a good opportunity to schedule all of the other meetings that will happen throughout the week. Fortunately, nothing will really be accomplished in any of these meetings so the only stress I will really have is keeping my eyes open. Also there is a good deal of tea drinking. And trips to the toilet. In between all of this is \'work\'. Due to the extremely private nature of Japanese companies I am not permitted to disclose the nature of my work, but rest assured it will involve paper, pens, phone calls and email. It\'s not all toil for thesalaryman however. There is the weekend. On Saturday I will be horrendously hungover due to the previous night\'s \'obligation\' drinking. Most likely one of the higher-ups will ensure that I am well inebriated by continually praising my \'strong drinking\' and topping of my glass when it hits the three-quarter mark. By the time I come back to life late Saturday I will probably be encouraged to go out drinking with some friends that I don\'t work with as this will be the only chance to get together. Sunday will be spent dragged about the department store with my wife who will ensure my allegiance to my employer by emptying my wallet that I may never break the vicious cycle of month to month living.

It was an observation that needed to be addressed. Fortunately, I was prepared. I went into a spiel on my working in Japan, then in Thailand, then back again. I emphasized the fact that English teaching positions were the easiest to find initially, particularly in Thailand. I didn\'t distance myself to greatly from teaching as it would have been detrimental to speak ill of something I had done just shy of a decade. I made it a mentioning some of the managerial work that I had done in the role of a teacher-trainer. The interviewer seemed somewhat assuaged by my response. He asked me about my time living in Quebec, Canada. He asked me why things hadn\'t worked out in Thailand. I had rehearsed answers to those questions in point form (not memorized, canned responses). I handled the questions well enough. The interviewer then moved onto my language ability. He was pleased to see I had passed a Japanese proficiency test. I assured him that I had maintained, if not improved my Japanese since taking the test. He then invited me to ask questions, a point at which the tone of the interview became decidedly more pleasant and the hard questioning ended.</p>\n<p>I got the job. </p>\n<p>It is not an easy thing to overcome a resume. I know of one friend who has found himself in a number of jobs that he was less than passionate about, but with each passing job he was defining himself more as a technical writer and less as a creative one. Another woman acquaintance couldn\'t escape data entry positions. Her attempts to break out of the job were met with more offers of the same. CV, curriculum vitae, the course of your life. Whether we like it or not, our resume defines us to employers. The best way to enhance our resume is to add to the \'work experience\' section. Of course, therein lies the catch-22. For those of us who have spent a long time teaching English overseas, it can be extremely difficult to land a job outside the industry. Even for those with degrees and certificates in education must be careful not to let to much time lapse, lest they lose their employability back home. </p>\n<p>In all of this, there does seem to be one thing that an overseas teacher can do to add luster to the resume... learn the language.

A real mastery of a language can lead to opportunities otherwise unavailable. For those with a shorter time horizon, partial acquisition still looks good on paper. Some certificate, passing mark on a test, time spent in a language school, etc. gives the appearance of earnest endeavour, not just idle indulgence while abroad. In both cases, studying the local language is a smart investment in the future.</p>\n<p>With things recently coming apart for teachers in Japan, those with Japanese language skills have found themselves in a much better position than those without. I leave you with this cautionary note - a great number of teachers in the former Nova graduated into management positions without needing Japanese ability. When G-Communications took over operations of Nova it sent out a form to every employee asking about language ability. Within in several months, G-Communications unceremoniously lopped of the heads of almost all of the foreign management in non-teaching positions.

After graduating from University I was hungry for some overseas experience, but my skill set (none) wouldn\'t have taken me anywhere. Luckily enough I was born a native-speaker of English. Have tongue, will travel. I\'ve lived in Japan and Thailand. I\'ve met the woman of my life. I\'ve been fortunate to make the acquaintance of a lot of interesting people from a lot of interesting places. It\'s been a great adventure...</p>\n<p>But (I knew he was winding up for a rant),... the game is fixed. Teaching English overseas is a tough racket. I knew a guy with an ESL Master\'s Degree working in the Japanese University system. I would say that such a job is the pinnacle of English teaching jobs in Japan. It came with decent pay, study stipends (i.e. free travel) and plenty of planning time, not to mention vacation time. The rub, every three years he had to find a new job because the University system in Japan would be forced to grant him a sort of tenure, which very few foreigners ever get. Given the number of job openings in Universities at any given time, he moved around Japan a lot. Great if you\'re single, good luck if you have a family. I mentioned the pay was good, but only relative to other teachers. A mediocre salaryman would be on the same amount in his early thirties with much more job security. And that is the best teaching job in Japan, arguably one of the better countries to work in as a teacher from a visa and salary perspective. That\'s to say that the most you can ever hope for from teaching English in Asia is a job that might just support a family who was willing to uproot every three years.</p>\n<p>It\'s a young man\'s game. If it were a Coen brothers film it might be called No Job for Old Men. In fact, it\'s a great job for retirees, particularly in a place like Thailand. As a second career for someone with a bit of a nest egg stored away, teaching makes perfect sense. It\'s generally low stress, engaging, physically easy work. I think Thai employers should be more keen to hire older candidates who are probably less transient, hence more reliable than younger globe-trotters. Unfortunately, I\'ve witnessed several older career teacher types crushed by the game. Nova\'s demise revealed just how many married men (often fathers) were living month to month, financially vulnerable, and not otherwise employable. You can\'t teach through your prime earning years and expect to make it out smoothly. It\'s not just the salary, but also the benefits. At the very least, if you were teaching chez vous you would be on some sort of retirement scheme. Several career teachers I know are only a decade or so away from retirement without any means of retiring. Evidently you can boil a live frog if you do it slowly enough; the frog never realizes the water is too hot until it\'s already cooked. </p>\n<p>The game is cruel. It\'s getting harder and harder to find full-time work as a teacher in Japan. Like vultures to a kill, employers skillfully savaged the remains of the Nova workforce by offering up part-time work to the desperate. The most egregious case was that of a local school district (private enterprise can be more easily forgiven for seeking profit over people) that decided instead of offering up a couple of full-time slots, they would slice and dice the work, save themselves some money and forgo the headaches of helping a teacher procure or renew a visa. This short-term thinking is rampant. The public school systems are trying to get more native-speaker teachers into the classrooms all the while engaging in the above and hiring teaching agencies whose abuses are notorious (who wants to work for two bosses anyway?)</p>\n<p>The game is over. For me anyway. At least till I get that nest egg that will allow my to be an old man teacher someday. The game may be drawing to a close in Japan. I referred to industry troubles last month. The website Let\'s Japan also did a piece on the decline of private language schools in Japan. Nova\'s bankruptcy is working like a double-edged blade - putting off consumers and eliminating the single biggest teacher importer in one fell swoop. On the other hand, we continue to hear government rhetoric about bolstering teacher numbers. There is also a program underway in Korea. The game may become more public, less private in the future. In our great consumer world, selling education might not be a game that anyone can win. </p>','','2008-02-29 23:21:06',1,'2008-02-29 23:21:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(123,7,'Talking business','talking-business','Does Eikaiwa make any cents','I wrote about the death of Nova previously.

Newsweek Japan recently ran a cover story indicting the whole industry as ineffective and full of false promises.  Nonetheless, there are still eikaiwa schools operating from less than prime real-estate at most major train stations in Japan.  So what gives?  Is an eikaiwa school a serious business enterprise or a way for a would be proprietor to make a small fortune from a large one?</p>\n<p>A quick look under the hood/bonnet is forthcoming, but first things first - what is eikaiwa?  Eikaiwa is a Japanese word constructed of three kanji characters that mean English conversation.  The eikaiwa concept may be somewhat unique to Japan.  It typically consists of small group lessons (no more than 5 students) lasting an hour or less in which oral communication is the focus.  Unlike the private English school that I taught at in Thailand, eikaiwa schools often work from a very loose curriculum and fixed courses are the exception, not the rule. In Thailand I often taught groups of up to 10, standing in front of them writing on the whiteboard, some written work was the norm.  In eikaiwa, the teachers is usually seated in a circle with the students, reading may be a component, but worksheets are seldom used.  Having never experienced the Korean hagwon, I won\'t attempt a comparison.  At first glance, eikaiwa  appears easy to teach, but the Japanese are some of the most recalcitrant conversationalist in the world so good luck to all those willing to give it a go.</p>\n<p>During Nova\'s heyday, eikaiwa schools could be found at nearly any sizable station in Japan.  Eikaiwa easily outranked any traditional Japanese art form (calligraphy, flower arrangement, martial arts) in terms of popularity.  Many housewives dropped by the eikaiwa school after the morning clean, before the afternoon shopping.  Students came late afternoon and businessmen in the evening.  The weekends were the busy times.  Now, to a certain extent I should be writing in the present tense, but realize that in the course of several months well over 500 such schools closed their doors nationwide.  The existing market has been unable to absorb all the students left out in the cold.  I have witnessed this first hand at my second job, a small eikaiwa school that has been turning away former Nova students due to lack of capacity.</p>\n<p>I wrote about the death of Nova previously.  The rest of the industry is not more than an ailing patient, perhaps destined for a Novaesque demise.  Nova\'s glitz and glamour was all surface show founded by its ponzi-scheme approach to moneymaking.  The more responsible operations usually inhabit dingy, dark office spaces within walking distance of major stations.  Their locations are necessary, but the interiors speak to real state of affairs.  As I write this G-Communications is actively looking for smaller spaces for many of its major schools.  They can\'t handle the rent overhead of the locations they took over from Nova.  The heart of the matter is profit-margins.  The small eikaiwa I work for is a great microcosm of the entire industry.  After paying staff overhead most lessons only gross 1000yen per hour.  That is about how much a convenience store employee in Japan makes.   I haven\'t accounted for other overhead yet so net profit is almost non-existent.  Still we have a great location, lovely interior and constantly updated lesson material. The secret... the owner is wealthy and runs the business as more of a hobby than anything else.  Great for me, bad news in general.</p>\n<p>Even more businesslike operations find it hard to balance operating hours, teacher numbers and lesson pricing in order to make money.  The problem is that the consumer will only pay in the neighborhood of 2000 yen per lesson for a group lesson.  The average teacher makes about that per lesson.  Considering operating costs, in order to break even most schools need at least three students in a lesson.  Easy on the weekends, impossible on weekday afternoons, a gamble on weekday evenings and remember if you don\'t offer enough lessons or long enough hours students won\'t be pleased.  The transience of teachers is such that maintaining the ideal teacher numbers is all but impossible and at any given time a school is usually understaffed and losing students or overstaffed and losing money.  Sounds too bleak?  Consider this.  The latest, greatest thing in Japan is a chain of schools called Gaba.  The Gaba concept is horrifyingly sensible.   All lessons are private.  Students pay over 5000 yen per lesson.  Teachers are paid a maximum of 2000 yen.  The teacher is not considered an employee as much as a sub-contractor.  If there is no student reserved for a class time, the teacher doesn\'t get paid.  This makes great business sense and seems to be the only real way to make money from eikaiwa with one major flaw... the conditions are so bad for the teacher that Gaba is only thriving on displaced Novaites and with the Nova recruiting machine gone will have great trouble expanding or even maintaining operations into the distant future.</p>\n<p>If it still seems as if I may be extrapolating too much from one example, I leave the reader with this thought.  The small school I mentioned above has been open for five years.  It has employed a dozen or so teachers in that time.  All but a couple came to Japan on a Nova sponsored visa.  If Nova had not existed the school would not have opened as the founding teachers were both former Nova employees.  Currently over thirty hours of instruction is delivered weekly by teachers who entered Japan on Nova visas.  Nova brought several thousand teachers to Japan every year.  No other outfit comes close to those numbers.  Japan is far too expensive for teachers just to show up, get a job and do a visa run a la Thailand.  Gaba doesn\'t recruit overseas, my small school doesn\'t recruit overseas, most eikaiwas don\'t recruit overseas.   Teachers average a year in Japan.  Who is replacing them?  Nobody.</p>\n<p>Is eikaiwa dead?  Not yet, but it\'s on life support. </p>','','2008-01-31 23:28:06',1,'2008-01-31 23:28:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(124,7,'Something great in 2008?','something-great-in-2008','A look back and a glance forward','Yes, it\'s the Japanese New Year.

And with no further ado... </p>\n<p>Phil mentioned in his editorial what a black-eye year it had been for teachers in Thailand with multiple arrests of pedophiles working in teaching positions. I suppose that is one issue that Japan based teachers have not confronted. However, there was tragedy and scandal here this year with the death of Lindsey Hawker, a young British woman murdered in the apartment of a man who evidently approached her as a student of English. She, herself, was an English teacher. The police have yet to apprehend the suspect. Here\'s hoping they do in `08. </p>\n<p>Of course the major news of the year was the bankruptcy of Nova. See my previous columns for more on that. The long term impact of the Nova collapse is hard to judge, but I think that the private English education industry in Japan has seen its apex and passed it. The population is ageing, the industry is now tarnished and given that many of its most loyal customers are hobbyists, not serious learners, they may take their yen elsewhere...think resurgence in flower arrangement or tea ceremony lessons. That said, the industry is far from dead. 2008 will be a make or break year for Nova`s acquiring company, G-Communications. Things are not off to a smooth start, but nor have any of Nova`s competitors made major market share grabs. Something to watch in the coming year. </p>\n<p>There was a silver lining in the Nova cloud. Both the Japanese employment offices and immigration department dealt with the crisis in a responsible and fair manner. Hello Work, as the employment office is known, was quick to provide English language support and to the best of my knowledge everyone who qualified for unemployment benefits received them in a timely manner. Immigration issued yours truly a three-year extension on the eve of Nova\'s collapse, in spite of all the rumors. Thanks guys. I was not happy to be working for a company that went under, but I am glad that company wasn\'t located in any other Asian country. Nonetheless, the bankruptcy brought to light a number of discrepancies between labor laws and practices that exist in Japan\'s English teaching industry. Something that probably won\'t change in the coming year. </p>\n<p>Speaking of other Asian countries... China hosts the Olympics. English First made a big push to recruit teachers from Japan to work there. I think this is just the beginning of something much bigger to come. Then again China is not typically a dream destination on the par of let\'s say...Thailand. But with the appreciating yuan it may become a moneymaker...the New Korea for Thai based teachers? For that matter, Korea is now requiring background checks in order to teach. China is looking good for the cowboy teacher in search of easy money. Something to keep an eye on in the coming year. </p>\n<p>On a personal level, `08 may see me change career and step outside the teaching arena for the first time in nine years. It\'s early to delve into specifics, but watching my job disintegrate gave me pause and has brought me to the realization that teaching English in Asia is like nursing. There is always a job for you, but usually the job involves a lot of crap. </p>\n<p>Something great in 2008? Let\'s hope so... </p>','','2007-12-31 23:32:06',1,'2007-12-31 23:32:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(125,7,'Fear and loathing in Asia','fear-and-loathing-in-asia','Why so many language schools are so deceptive','How can teachers, new and old alike, protect themselves from deceptive employers?

Call it an occupational hazard - it goes with the territory. Most long-term teachers based in Asia have a good horror story or two under their belt about an employer who didn\'t pay or wouldn\'t pay or used visas, bonuses, airline tickets, etc. to manipulate he or she into working longer, leaving early, changing locations and so on. Deception can be a two-way street and many employers will have several employee horror stories under their belt, but I\'ll leave the teacher bashing for another day. So why is this industry so rife with ruse? There are many reasons and I\'ll try to touch upon some, but first let\'s take a trip down memory lane. These are some of my favorite quotes over the years.</p>\n<p>\"The position pays 30,000 baht a month\"</p>\n<p>(Told to me by a Thai employer who only paid me that much during peak months)</p>\n<p>\"I guess you will have to go to Laos to make visa\"</p>\n<p>(The same employer explaining that, contrary to what I had first been told, I would have to do a border run as they could not officially sponsor my visa) </p>\n<p>\"We have 15 high school students signed up to learn French\"</p>\n<p>(Said by another Thai employer. I turned up to teach the class and not one student showed)</p>\n<p>\"We are so sad today is last day for Matt Sensei. What is your address? We will send pictures.\"</p>\n<p>(From a Japanese kindargarden teacher unceremoniously informing me my contract would not be renewed. Notice the lack of notice.)</p>\n<p>\"I\'m sorry to inform you your visa is no longer valid and we cannot employ you until you get a new one\"</p>\n<p>(This from the infamous Nova Corporation who had previously informed me that my visa was valid. Based on this information I moved back to Japan from Thailand)</p>\n<p>\"You\'re being assigned to the Nishi Kasai branch\"</p>\n<p>(Again from Nova. This commute took over an hour and, fittingly, past six other Nova branches. There were easily a dozen branches within a shorter commute radius.)</p>\n<p>\"...With this there will be no worry about next month\'s pay\"</p>\n<p>(Notorious Nozom Sahashi, former CEO of the failed Nova Corporation, in a fax to staff the month before the company sunk. No one has been paid yet.)</p>\n<p>\"We will pay you to wait at home and special accounting will be done in November to pay you more quickly\"</p>\n<p>(From G-Communications, Nova\'s acquirer, in a meeting with former employees, only a fraction of whom received pay for November. Some people put off filing for unemployment based on the above, erroneous information.)</p>\n<p>Is it really that bad? Yes and No. I have highlighted the worst of the worst over an eight year period of time. To do the same for all the honest interactions I have had wouldn\'t be nearly as amusing, though I could fill pages. But of course we expect honest interaction with our employer and anything less is unacceptable. Why is it that English language schools in Asia (I can\'t comment on other parts of the world) seem to engage in underhanded employment practices so frequently? I have come up with several answers to that question. </p>\n<p>The industry itself is quite young. Most private English language schools haven\'t been operating for a full decade. If we consider the case of Nova, it opened in 1981 making it one of the pioneers in the industry. I might be stretching the analogy slightly to compare the English education industry to that of textile mills during the industrial revolution. However, nascent industries are often disorganized and susceptible to abuse. There are no real labor unions to speak of that protect the interests of English teachers overseas. As a group of workers English teachers are transient foreigners, the majority of who don\'t consider teaching overseas to be a career. Nova, again one of the oldest in the industry, has two loosely organized unions whose membership numbers remain a mystery – most likely because there are so few members. If a company of this size and history can\'t mount an effective union, there is no way it will happen elsewhere. In addition, many employers open their doors without a real plan for employing long-term teachers, yet they often complain about teacher turnover. My Thai employer who was unable to sponsor me for a visa wasn\'t outright lying to me about her ability to secure one – I was the fist teacher she attempted to sponsor! In other several decades the industry will hopefully mature and improve. That remains a question of time.</p>\n<p>Cultural and linguistic misunderstandings are often common. I find that Thais in general often exaggerate in order to have \'big face\'. When interviewing with Thai employers I found that they always painted a very rosy picture of the working conditions and salary at first. With subsequent discussions reality started to emerge. This kind of communication style may be normal in Thailand; it is confusing to the Westerner. My dealings with Japanese employers have been fine once something is written in contract form, but the Japanese are well known for avoiding the word \'no\' and the word \'maybe\' is often used in its place. Can I have weekends off? Maybe. You mean no. I think I have mastered the Japanese communication style but there is a learning curve. </p>\n<p>Good old fashion greed is at the root of many deceptions. Open language school, employ staff, enroll students, roll in dough. Nova was the greediest of the bunch employing a tuition system that just begged bankruptcy. Pay us upfront and we\'ll teach you later...we promise. Young businesses seeking quick profits are loathe to pay for perks that may mean a more loyal workforce but smaller bottom line. I have yet to come across an English school that provides a solid insurance package to its teachers. I\'ll faint if I do. Most perks offered teachers are really gimmicky incentives to continue working. I\'m thinking return airfare that is conditional on doing just one more month. Or re-sign bonuses which are another way of saying that the only way to get you to continue to work this crap job is hand over a lump sum of cash. Consider a business model whereby improved working conditions would lessen teacher turnover by several months at a big corporate school like Nova. It only takes a few years before this several month employment extension starts to really pay dividends for the employer in terms of reduced recruiting and training costs. But most employers don\'t think long term.</p>\n<p>How can teachers, new and old alike, protect themselves from deceptive employers? Asking a lot of questions can help, not because the employer is always likely to answer in a straightforward manner, rather it can reveal their level of knowledge and experience in the industry. Take the visa situation. I asked my Thai employer if they would sponsor a visa. I should of asked them what steps were necessary to sponsor my visa. If they gave a muddled answer (which is what they eventually did) I would have known that they had little experience in visa sponsorship. Ask specific questions that will illustrate the employers knowledge of the industry. Ask how long they have been in business. Ask about teacher turnover and how they think it could be reduced. Don\'t take verbal promises or agreements seriously and don\'t make any decisions based on them. </p>\n<p>Deception and manipulation are not one in the same. The best method of protection against manipulation is a healthy bank account. Arm-twisting happens when one party is strong enough to twist the other\'s arm. If you have the money to walk away from a less than pleasant situation, it can make all the difference in the world. Of course the difficulty is not always just financial, visa status is an issue. A good plan B or country B is something to contemplate when making the plunge into the shark-infested waters of English teaching in Asia.</p>\n<p>Don\'t despair. It\'s not all misery. I have had at least one wonderful employer and several decent employers. English teaching can be stressful and demanding, but there is a seasonal nature to it that can translate into a lot of paid downtime. Visa regulations in some places (Japan for example) are fairly fair and allow teachers to bail on bad bosses. The Olympics are just around the corner and China is on a big English push. Yet another country, hence option when the going gets tough chez vous. Eventually employers will have to wise up and start shooting straight if they want to be competitive. The law of supply and demand is going to tip in favor of the teacher sooner or later. Chin up, campers. </p>\n<p>For more deception and manipulation check the blog</p>\n<p>http://asianalien.blogspot.com </p>','','2007-11-30 23:37:06',1,'2007-11-30 23:37:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(126,7,'Nova no more','nova-no-more','The collapse of a colossal language school ','Trouble has been brewing for a while.

His timing couldn\'t have been worse. If he had applied for the job several weeks later, the recruiting offices wouldn\'t have granted an interview. If he had started a month or so earlier he might have seen one paycheck, or at least a salary advance that had been promised him. But no, poor Charles came smack dab in the middle of the maelstrom – he never saw his advance, nor paycheck and got evicted from his apartment only two weeks into his stay. Now, I\'d like to give you the epilogue of the young lad\'s adventure, but I can\'t. The shutters came down on me too. In fact, I continued working longer than Charles because I could afford the train fare to the school. It seems Charles moved into a guest house too far away to gamble that commute would pay off – literally. And Charles chose right because none of us has seen a yen yet for our toil in September or October. We were employees of the largest, lowliest English school in all of Asia – Nova. And this is our story...well, mine at least. </p>\n<p>I started working for Nova in 1999. My life was as directionless as Nova management. I was working in Quebec, Canada at the time, but not really working. We founded a translation company, a friend of mine and myself – Cartier Communications. I think we made somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred bucks...Canadian (and though now the Loonie is strong, it wasn\'t then). I was a month away from moving back in with the folks when I came across an ad in the Boston Globe. Teach English in Japan. We\'ll get you in the country, provide shelter and even pay you. After several months of unsuccessfully looking for a teaching gig in South America I thought \'Why not? What\'s the worst that could happen?\' In \'99 I didn\'t have the prescience to think, \'Well Matt, the worst that could happen is that the company could nosedive into a disastrous bankruptcy that would potentially leave you and your wife stranded in a foreign country with neither money nor legal right of residence?\' But even if I had guessed that, it would still have beat Mom\'s couch at age 24. And so I resigned my post as co-chair of Cartier Communications and signed up with Nova. </p>\n<p>I showed up doe-eyed in Japan and was placed by the company in Chiba prefecture, basically suburban Tokyo. The company arranged apartment that I lived in was a revolving door of new roommates. The average duration of employment for a Nova teacher never really surpassed a year so at any given point in time someone was on their way in or out. Now, back in the day we all did forty lessons a week as opposed to a trimmed down thirty seven or thirty four that were more recently offered as a way to skirt government regulations for paying into the social welfare system. What that meant, the forty lessons that is, was I had a good enough salary to get out of jail, I mean the Nova apartment, at the end of the first year. This was a definitive moment. If I hadn\'t moved out, I would have probably moved home. Instead I stayed on. </p>\n<p>In the space of the four years that followed, I was promoted twice, not a stunning feat at a company with such high turnover, and worked in five different branches. Flipping through the pages of my personal history, these were the golden days of Nova. Every time I renewed a contract I was given a decent raise. My title, \'Trainer\', entitled me to more money on top of that. The structure of Nova was such that I was given autonomy in my branch and had plenty of planning time with which I planned what to do once the day was done. It was almost too good to be true - the kind of job that occupied you just enough to pass the day and pay for drinks afterward. I had little incentive to look for another job until I met my Thai wife. Once I had made the decision to move to Thailand I tendered my resignation and said goodbye to Nova and Japan. I thought that was that. If that had been that, well, that would have been a nice ending to a chapter in my life and now I would view the Nova downfall with a certain nostalgia, sense of pity and more than a hint of schadenfreude. </p>\n<p>But I came back to Japan. I came back for money and dragged my wife with me. I went back to Nova as well. The devil you know is better than the devil you don\'t. Plus they offered me a better salary as a rehire than I would have made starting with another employer. Not long after starting back with Nova I found a second job. My wife started working. We were on the gravy train. But the train was set to go off the tracks. </p>\n<p>Trouble was brewing for a while. It\'s hard to designate any one point in time as being the beginning of the end. For that matter the first day of Nova operations could have been the beginning of the end much in the same way that a person is born only to follow a path leading inexorably toward death. But if we are forced to flesh out a few events that ushered in descent from ascent then they would be the following. In 2005, while I was in Thailand, all the eikaiwa (English conversation) schools in Japan - but first and foremost Nova due to its first and foremost place of prominence in the industry - came under scrutiny by the Japanese government for not paying into the social welfare system on behalf of its foreign teachers. After some legal wrangling Nova and the others averted massive back payments but at the same time were forced to restructure teachers schedules, basically reducing working hours. Less hours equals less schedule coverage equals less happy customers. Nova students paid upfront lesson fees and were promised that they could more or less book lessons at their convenience. This was proving untrue as teachers schedules were being cut back. As this was happening Nova was on an all-out expansion. Unbelievably, Nova was opening small branches left right and center as teaching hours were shortened. Furthermore when I was preparing to come back to Japan in late \'05 there was actually a hiring freeze (high turnover meant that constant hiring was necessary just to maintain the status quo). This is the business equivalent of adding more tables at your restaurant while firing some of your cooks. In the decadent days of Nova many small \'satellite\' branches were manned by one staff member, one teacher and few students in the classroom. Never a great one with numbers, even I could figure that the satellite school system was losing money hand over fist on employee overhead alone. </p>\n<p>Observers compared Nova\'s business model to a Ponzi scheme. Nova collected payments from students upfront and then spent the money to expand. Whenever they opened a new school they could expect an initial cash infusion from new customers paying lesson fees in advance, but operating expenses for these new schools would eventually exceed real revenue so they would open a new school to drive sales, rinse and repeat. As long as there was room to expand the scheme worked, but the party couldn\'t last indefinitely. By early 2007 there were signs that the booze had run out and dawn was poking through the blinds. Some areas were reorganized into \'task groups\', meaning that Nova management was unhappy that these schools could draw no more blood from the students so they sent in a crack team of their most skilled sales-vampires to try extract a few last drops. Several ill-conceived sales campaigns took place aimed at kids and senior-citizens, but there was little budget for advertising and TV commercials gave way to handing out promotional tissues (if you\'ve been to Japan you\'ll understand) in front of stations. The icing on the crap cake was an order from the Ministry of Economy Trade and Infrastructure in June of this year that punished Nova for sneaky refund practices. Without digressing into detail, Nova was banned from selling large \'ticket packages\', those very instruments which kept the Ponzi scheme afloat, because of consumer complaints lodged against the company for manipulating numbers when refunding displeased students - the number of whom was growing. The dual effect of being ordered to refund massive amounts of money to students and the inability to bilk new students with big ticket packages, not too mention the negative publicity, spelled disaster. The house of cards was coming down. </p>\n<p>The first whiff of decay that Nova employees got was in late July when the Japanese staff saw their paychecks delayed for a week. In all of my years with the company I had never heard of late payment. This is Japan after all, land of trains that run to the minute. August came and went with ominous sales figures, but everyone was paid – no bonuses for staff who would have usually received them at this time of year. September 15th was teacher payday, but pay was triaged to regular instructors in urban areas first. Those in a rural Japan or higher positions waited for up to two weeks. Now the corpse was really starting to stink. By the time October 15th came around everyone was on edge. The president, a megalomaniac who will likely be indicted on several counts of corporate fraud in the near future, was sending out faxes to reassure us that everything would be alright. However, the Japanese staff had not been paid on their payday, the 26th of September, and it appeared that the company was going to attempt to pay teachers by not paying staff. Branch closings had started and though management tried to make it look like controlled downsizing, it was clear that in many cases Nova was being evicted for non-payment of rent. In what is probably the most appalling aspect of this, many teachers started to receive eviction notices from landlords who had not received rent from Nova in spite of the fact that said rent had been deducted from their paychecks. The employees of Nova were riding a bicycle built for five thousand, but the chain had long since fallen off and only momentum was keeping us upright – not for long though. No money on the 15th. We got a fax saying that money would be coming on the 19th. Until then I thought we might see 2008, now I realized that we wouldn\'t see November. No money on the 19th. Teachers were dropping like flies. Students were not allowed to make new reservations. I was handing out business cards in every one of my lessons hoping to secure a small income base of private students when the shutters came down. Another promise of money coming around the 25th and news of shady stock deals being made with offshore funds in the Virgin Islands. No money on the 25th. I had still been coming to work, one of the few, but the 25th was my breaking point. I called head office to tell them I wouldn\'t be in due to lack of pay. I called again on the 26th but this time I was told that all branches were temporarily (for most permanently) closed. It seems I burned out right about the time that Nova did. The board of directors had staged a coup, fired the president and filed for protective bankruptcy on the evening of the 25th. Nova Corporation 1981 – 2007 RIP. </p>\n<p>It\'s funny to be part of something so massive coming down. The Titanic analogy is a good one. The band just kept playing up until the end. We had one announcement come in from head office offering positions in 2008 with the government kids program which outsourced teachers to elementary and secondary schools. This as teachers were going unpaid and being evicted. There was another announcement inviting Nova instructors to post to a company blog whose aim was to promote overseas recruiting. \'Tell us about a typical day of your life in Japan,\' it read. Hmmm, after waking up and checking my bank account only to discover it is still empty I rummage through the garbage in front of my apartment building for anything edible and hope the landlord doesn\'t see me or he\'ll start harassing me about the overdue rent again. Yeah, there were a host of surreal moments. In a large organization one hand doesn\'t necessarily know what the other is doing. We had frequent evidence of this. Unfortunately for a lot of newer people the recruiting offices had been kept out of the loop too long. They just continued to dump fresh meat onto Japanese soil in something resembling human trafficking. Sure, just go there. We\'ll pay you once you arrive. Doesn\'t the Yakuza employ the same ruse to get Phillipina women to come and work in bars as indentured servants? Ironically for a company that was going under, there was actually a surge of student attendance toward the end. They were trying to use as many lesson points as possible before the ship submerged. I asked a large group in the conversation lounge if they had smelt blood. Blank stares as a response, but I appreciated my own joke. </p>\n<p>It\'s not completely over, however. I still work for Nova. I wasn\'t given a chance to resign. I heard that I could give my resignation by mail. I chose not to. I have more to gain from being a current employee of a liquidated company, but it looks as if Nova has found a corporate sponsor. (In fact, the katakana term \'suponsa\' is being thrown around liberally in the media. I think it\'s nice that Japanese are so international and sprinkle their speech with English sounding words. It makes me feel at home in a time when I feel otherwise isolated and alienated, what with being out of work in a foreign country. For instance, the Japanese unemployment offices are called \'Hello Work\'. I think \'Hello Work\' has a nice ring to it. Better than \'Goodbye Work\', which actually makes a whole lot more sense given that it\'s an office for people who have lost their jobs.) A small entity called G-Communications has bought thirty three percent of Nova and what is more amazing, they haven\'t ruled out the continued use of the Nova brand name. They plan to reopen thirty schools initially. Just to give you an idea, even after mass closings Nova still had almost five hundred branches when they filed for bankruptcy. So what\'s next, you ask. I don\'t know, but it\'s similar to driving by the scene of an accident; I\'d like to look away, but I can\'t - Nova rubber-necking. I\'m slated for a meeting tomorrow to hear all the gory details of this new setup. Someone should begin etching another tombstone...

My month off the souse was somewhat of an epiphany for me, though I’ll admit I haven’t yet become a teetotaler to the end of time.<br />\nOne of my workmates mentioned that there was a high incidence of alcoholism among teachers as a profession. Although I have no proof in support of this, I wouldn’t be surprised if it were true. There is something intrinsically repetitious and frustrating about teaching insofar as no matter how well you impart an idea, there is always a fresh-faced student waiting in the wings to not get it all over again. Teaching English to non-natives may exacerbate frustration levels due to the simplicity of the concept (English) to the teacher. Listening to the same, seemingly simple mistakes being made again and again I like sing-a-song I like go to shopping grates with time. Eventually, it may drive some to drink. </p>\n<p>To be honest, the English-teacher-abroad lifestyle doesn’t at all aid in maintaining sobriety.

What could be more conducive to a drinking lifestyle than a job that allows you time to sleep off your hangover on a daily basis? Not to mention that wrapping up work and 8 or 9pm gives one just enough time to do nothing (sports, study, etc.) other than have a beer or five. Add to the mix public transportation (Japan) or cheap taxis (Thailand) and what’s to stop a teacher from a high degree of alcohol induced impairment – ‘cause it sure ain’t the fear of drunk driving (though Japanese police can issue citations for drunk cycling – boozed up Lance Armstrong would-be’s take note).</p>\n<p>Working with people of different nationalities may remove some of the commonalities we take for granted back home. Even if I didn’t loathe baseball, it wouldn’t provide me any small talk fodder with a cricket fan from Liverpool. I played a bit of (American) football in high school, but that just kicks off the ‘who’s tougher’ debate with a rugby lover from Brisbane. Never to fear, we all enjoy a drink so why not start there and let the rugby players don’t need pads guffaw kick up later. Certainly when trying to work through language barrier booze is better than caffeine, at least you believe that you’re speaking the target language much better than you ever have, but then again you also believe the person you’re speaking with is looking much better than they ever have.<br />\nFinally, though I could probably go on citing reasons until I got drunk on my own BS, most English teachers living in Asia are fairly young. It’s over to fill in the appropriate Asian country for a year or two after graduating University name after which it’s back to English speaking country of your choice to start working as a depressing low-level white collar job here . For those of us getting on in years it may be tough to keep up with the younger crowd, but common sense and wisdom won’t stop us from trying. Of course, there is the other end of the spectrum, the seasoned-souse-hound who has drunk himself out of his home country and over to lands-more-forgiving, as long as he slurs his speech after class it matters little. With coworkers like this, who needs enemies? </p>\n<p>The title of this article should really be On the wagon and Back on the Gravy Train as a fair drinking habit is also fairly expensive. I dare not calculate how much money I have poured down my throat and pissed away over the years, but I am sure it wouldn’t be far off the price of a compact car. Drinking at home is always cheaper, but Asian apartments aren’t spacious enough to entertain and solitary imbibing does get a bit depressing. On the other hand, internet forums get most of their most colorful comments at 2:13 am in atrociously spelled rants, so I guess there are those for whom a bottle of Samsung, a liter of Coke and a high-speed connection is all the social outlet required. </p>\n<p>I should wind this up by tisk-tisking and, in an annoying, aunt-like way tell you all to drink in moderation or give up the devil water. But where’s the fun in that? We’re all adults. We make our choices. If we wake up one morning, pounding head filled with remorse for that puerile posting we did the night before, then we’ll change our ways, right? I mean, it’s not like you can teach your native language with a hangover. </p>\n<p>Cheers. </p>','','2005-11-30 23:54:06',1,'2005-11-30 23:54:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(128,7,'Japanic!','japanic','How things have changed in my absence','A lot of forum posters are claiming that Japan might not be the earner that it used to be, then again for those with a bit of hustle the market for freelance work is burgeoning.

','<blockquote><p>“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” – Robert Burns</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>Last I checked in I was headed back to the land of milk and honey (if not green tea and wasabi) to seek my fortune and repair financial damage done during my brief sojourn in Thailand.  What I did not know is that I was about to be buffeted about again by the wheels of fate (if not by the gears of immigration bureaucracy).  When I got back to Japan I re-applied with my former employ and was soon after hired, however it came to light that my visa was no longer valid.  I was caught by a new regulation stating that a working visa becomes invalid if the holder is not employed for a period of three months or more.  The particularly insidious thing about this is that it is untraceable by the authorities and won’t show up until the visa needs to be renewed.  In effect I entered Japan, undetected so to speak, with my visa valid, or so I thought, until April of next year. It is plausible that a less thorough employer could have hired me on the visa, but come next April I would not have been able to renew it (and perhaps would have jeopardized my chances at a new one).  Having already indebted myself to get back to Japan, this was nothing short of a metaphorical kick-in-da’-cajones.  I had two options: 1) Go back to Thailand and become on of those Farangs that eventually throws himself out off of a Pattaya hotel balcony.  2) Further indebt myself and apply for a new visa with the hope that a first world paycheck would have me back in black someday.  I have never been to Pattaya and am not too keen on going, so it was option # 2. </p>\n<p>            The Japan visa process consists of applying for something termed a Certificate of Eligibility.  The ‘COE’ is issued by immigration after receiving proper documentation from the potential Japanese employer.  Next the COE must be submitted in order to obtain a visa. It is possible to do so in country, but that requires an additional four weeks.  By doing a visa run to a foreign based Japan embassy or consulate the process is reduced to several days.  I choose to head back to Thailand for a week.  Fortunately, there were no snags and my re-entry to Japan went smooth enough.  After receiving the one year Specialist in Humanities and International Services (what bunk!) visa, one still has to pop into the local city hall and register for what is known as an ARC, or Alien Registration Card.  That done, the visa holder is good to go for employment – not a fun process, though relative to Thailand more straightforward and efficient.  In any case, now, a month and a-half after my initial arrival in Japan, I am where I thought I would be from the start.  All’s well that ends well?  Well,…</p>\n<p>            In the year I was out of Japan the EFL industry (Incidentally, Japan based teachers and employers tend to use the term ESL more prominently, though academics would point out the error.) has undergone some major changes.  Though I am simplifying, for reasons of governmental insurance regulations, most foreign teachers are now classed as part-time employees.  The result of this means diminished or diminishing hours for teachers, and in turn lower monthly salaries.  Not good.  There is a silver lining however.  Due to a new strict interpretation of hours worked, employers now offer very clear definitions of working time, meaning lesson planning is either included in the schedule or unnecessary.  There is no gray area in which one might have to plan lessons, but not be reimbursed for the time.  At least this is true of the big eikaiwa companies.  </p>\n<p>            In the meanwhile, a number of teacher-student introduction services have sprung up on the internet.  The basic premise here is that a teacher registers with a website for free and the student pays a fee to access the website’s teacher database.  The student can then contact the teacher directly to arrange for private lessons.  This may be the way of the future in a country where a ‘full-time’ (technically part-time) teaching job actually translates into a thirty hour work week.  Of course, the responsible teacher would be filing the extra income from private lessons on there tax-returns…no, really of course they would, wouldn’t they?  </p>\n<p>            A lot of forum posters are claiming that Japan might not be the earner that it used to be, then again for those with a bit of hustle the market for freelance work is burgeoning.  I personally believe that an English teacher overseas has to view him/herself as a miniature corporation and constantly innovate to keep up with market demands.  If the new business paradigm for a teacher is a part-time, visa sponsored job coupled with freelance teaching, then I see no choice but to go that route.  The only other way to go is signing on to Japanese social insurance with its hefty monthly contributions and throw yourself at the mercy of an employer who will then work you like a true salaryman (Employers also have to contribute to the employee’s social insurance, so that will get that money back from the employee in a pound of flesh, or a ton of stress.)  The irony is that after insurance contributions and figuring the extra hours involved, the teacher on social insurance is bringing home less per hour than the part-time, thirty hour per week teacher.  The social insurance scheme only makes sense for the long-term Japan resident, and then only if said resident has a family to support, otherwise it’s a raw deal.  </p>\n<p>            Are there any lessons in all this for the Thailand based crowd?  I think so.  One is to keep abreast of the latest visa regulations so that you don’t hit any SNAFUs (Situation Normal…you know the rest) with renewal, job change etcetera.  The other lesson is that, just as in any business, government regulations can have a spectacular impact on the status quo.  Good business people are constantly working to keep ahead and innovate during times of change, any teacher working overseas should be doing the same.  Remember that if you don’t innovate and advocate for yourself, no one else will.  I see myself as an English Communication Consultant.  Now, it’s true the school that sponsors my visa is my biggest and most important client, but I am beholden to make stockholders (Visa, Mastercard, Mom) to increase my customer base and maximize profits.  Believe you me, the companies that employ teachers adhere to the above philosophy, so why shouldn’t we?           </p>','','2005-11-29 00:43:06',1,'2005-11-29 00:43:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(129,7,'Japan or bust!','japan-or-bust','The costs of setting yourself up as a teacher','I assume anyone interested in Japan would be so for the money.

The Thailand to Japan move is not an especially easy one and I suspect that is the flow of teachers in the opposite direction is more common. It is certainly simpler. </p>\n<p>Money: In the past I have made contradictory statements about how expensive Japan is, but on one point I am convinced – Japan is very expensive for the traveler and start up costs are high. The cheapest guesthouses will run 50,000yen a month, typically with a month’s deposit upfront. That’s around 37,000baht to get into a guesthouse for a month. People need to eat as well. Forget road-side stands, there are none. For the cost conscious, noodle stands and donburi (rice topped with something meaty) come the closest to cheap eats at around 500yen a helping or 180baht. I imagine that even foregoing all forms of enjoyment, it would cost around 50,000baht to live in Japan for just the first month factoring in the deposit on accommodation. I have started with finances first because it is one reason that, unlike Thailand, prospective teachers just don’t show in Japan and then look for work. Consider that once a person has found employment they need to exit the country to start the working visa process, now consider that a visa run costs the roundtrip airfare to Korea, and add that to the living expenses. There is a reason why there are almost no TEFL/TESL/CELTA courses run in Japan.</p>\n<p>Employment: Some good news here – there are as many jobs in Japan as Thailand, probably more given the population of the Land of the Rising Sun is double that of the Land of Smiles. A great place to start a job search is www.gaijinpot.com or www.ohayosensei.com</p>\n<p>The bad news is if you look closely, you’ll find most employers are looking for someone in country. On Gaijinpot these jobs are highlighted with an asterisk. Try to find an asterisk-free job ad, it’s not easy. Moreover, most employers that advertise in country are looking for employees with a visa. </p>\n<p>Those among you who have been paying attention have probably noticed a glaring inconsistency; it is near impossible to get started in Japan yet all the employers are looking for people in Japan with visas – what gives? In step the Eikaiwas, huge private language schools with hundreds of branches and thousands of teachers. And guess what? They do hire overseas and arrange visas, housing and so on. Horror stories abound about the Eikawas, but I worked for one for six years. I’ll be the first to admit that the Eikaiwa gig is not for everyone, but I have witnessed far more unscrupulous employer behavior in small Thai private language schools than I ever did in a big corporate Eikaiwa. The fact of the matter is these guys pay you what they say and on time. </p>\n<p>The other major employer of English teachers in Japan is teacher agencies, often called dispatch companies in Japan. They supply most Japanese secondary, and now primary schools with ALTs (assistant language teacher). Whereas in Thailand the bulk of the work may exist in such settings, the majority of teachers in Japan work in the above mentioned Eikaiwa private language schools. Nonetheless, the dispatch companies are growing rapidly and provide the Japanese school system with a service that is replacing the direct contracts between schools and ALTs. As in Thailand, these agencies may be hit or miss, but the intrinsic truth is that working for a dispatch company means the teacher is answerable to two employers – the school and the agency. As of late the dispatch companies have been catching as much, if not more, bad press than the Eikaiwas. </p>\n<p>Visa: Essential for Japan, much more so than Thailand where a border is often only a several hour drive away. Fortunately, the Japan Specialist in Humanities and International Services visa that teacher obtain is much more straightforward than Thailand’s Non-Immigrant B, teacher’s license, working paper combination. Basically, once you get the visa, it allows for work and you never need to exit the country, even for renewal (though like most countries to change visa status from tourist to working means you must exit the country). The other welcome news about the Japan visa is that it is valid for its duration regardless of employment changes. </p>\n<p>Again, for those paying attention the formula for work in Japan becomes simple. Find employment overseas with a company large enough to recruit abroad and offer visa sponsorship – typically the Eikaiwa. If things don’t work out, there are a number of other employment options and you already have a visa. I am not necessarily advocating jumping ship on an employer, but the possibility is there. A word of caution, the original sponsor of the visa needs to ‘relinquish’ the visa to the new employer. Additionally, all potential employers will want to know how you came by your visa and will know the date of issue so there will be no covering your tracks if you quit a job only several months into it. </p>\n<p>I assume anyone interested in Japan would be so for the money. Unless you are a real Japanophile, the country lacks the beauty, fun and adventure of Thailand so there would be little reason to uproot from Thailand to Japan if it were not monetary. Of course the other money maker is Korea, but writers Ken and Steve would know more about that than me. One thing I have noticed about Korea is all inclusive employment packages with airfare and accommodation that may make Korea a better option for the truly destitute. On the other hand, Hagwon (Korean Eikaiwa) horror stories are in no short supply. </p>\n<p>My purpose is to neither recommend nor to discourage EFL teachers from seeking work in Japan; I wish only to inform.

It seems that there are some out there who actually want more. I received several responses mentioning an interest in my life in Isaan, the job scene and so on. Well, some writers write for their own gratification, I am not among them; I’ll easily prostitute myself for a bit of praise. So, with no further ado (or doodoo), I give you my life in Isaan: December ’04 - July ’05. </p>\n<p>I arrived in December from Japan and was joined by my long-time girlfriend, now wife, for a week in Koh Chang. After a pleasant vacation, we returned to Bangkok greeted by the news of the tragic tsunami that we were fortunate to have avoided by being in the wrong place at the right time with an isthmus of land between us and the disaster. We then made our way to Khon Kaen. </p>\n<p>I should jump back at this point to clarify why we had chosen Khon Kaen to settle down in. Firstly, my wife is from the general area. Secondly, Khon Kaen was big enough, and with a University, to promise decent opportunity for an English teacher. Thirdly, I have a special place deep within me that is reserved for the sole purpose of loathing Bangkok. And so we found ourselves in deepest, darkest Isaan. No, strike that – Khon Kaen is Isaan at its most cosmopolitan and refined. The city is no beauty, but I have yet to find any Thai city that is, nonetheless Khon Kaen has a lake in the center, the city streets our laid out on a grid, and the larger avenues are much wider than in places like Ubon Thani, all of which lend Khon Kaen a feeling of openness and not sheer urban intrusion. There is a Big C and Tesco for those seeking high-end items. For those seeking intellectual stimulation there is a Pizza Co., McDonald’s and KFC where the local intelligentsia can be found mulling over the machinations and vicissitudes of life in the driest region of the country. Also there are expat bars if you find the discussion of the high-society types at the former to taxing. </p>\n<p>Finding a rental place was all too easy. We simply hired a tuk-tuk to drive us around the local housing estates, or moo bahn, where we would inquire with security guard at the gate as to whether anything was for rent. It took us two days to find something that suited us perfectly. It was a small house with a little yard on the outskirts of town for only three thousand five hundred baht a month. The landlord had us in the house only a couple days later. Dealing with him would be the first in several now-I’m-in-Thailand learning-curve experiences. </p>\n<p>Moved into the house we faced the next problem of finding reliable transportation. For all its metropolitan flair, there is a dearth of available tuk-tuks in Khon Kaen, its songtaew-bus system is convoluted at best, and I’ll be damned if I am riding a motorcycle for any length of time – chalk it up to my strange fondness for an intact skeletal structure. We bought a car. That was not an expense I had anticipated, but of several decisions I now regret, that was not one. The simple luxury of having my own car after years of hoofing it everywhere in Japan is well worth the investment, and then there is the whole intact skeletal thing to consider. </p>\n<p>In the meantime I had been on the job hunt as well. Using the ajarn.com job database I contacted a local language school. The location was nice and it was obvious that the proprietors had invested a decent amount of money in it. The space was large, fully air-conned, well appointed and bespoke professionalism. I would learn that looks can indeed be deceiving. The management offered my thirty thousand a month, a visa and a fair schedule. I didn’t even bother to look elsewhere. I should have. </p>\n<p>Back to the landlord. We were trying to get a phone line for the internet when it first came out that he might not, in fact, be the owner. There was some irregularity with the bank. Through a jumble of translated Thai it appeared that he had either defaulted on the loan or was never approved for it. I simply shook my head. The man had the keys to the place and repeatedly repaired our water pump, so we continued to pay him the rent. </p>\n<p>I was back to the language school for a second interview. It turned out that the job only paid twenty four thousand a month for one hundred ground hours – not all of them teaching. They still held out the promise of a visa and hinted that they had contacts at the University that could supplement my hours. I wasn’t fully discouraged yet.</p>\n<p>One late afternoon a very rich lady pulled up in front of our house. I knew she must have had money because she was driving one of those Japanese compact sedans that are the sole domain of Chinese Thai and Western insurance salesmen. In any case, she claims that she is the real-estate developer and from now on we will be paying her rent as she owns the house. Of course this is not wholly true; she is only the sister-in-law of the real-estate developer, but I am starting to learn that in Thailand the truth doesn’t emerge until you have met someone several times…if it ever does. When we contacted the man claiming to be the owner he stated he had no knowledge of Miss Piggy (yes her nickname was Muu – I wish I was making this up). Of course that wasn’t true either and we have never heard from the original ‘owner’ since. Luckily, it would seem everything worked itself out, though I am worried about our initial deposit and whether or not Miss Piggy will refund it to us given the situation. </p>\n<p>Skipping forward a month or so, I am employed at the language school and have given them every form of paperwork necessary for a visa. But wait, it appears there is a problem. I should have high-tailed it out of the school when they told me they had never processed a teacher’s visa before. I had even read that somewhere on ajarn.com., something to the effect that ‘if your employer has never done a visa before – good luck.’ They were so ignorant of the procedure that I had to get online to find the information, then I had to ask them if they had the two-million baht in company capitalization that was required of a private language school wishing to employ a foreigner. Of course they didn’t, but they were fairly confident they could get me a teacher’s license (for those not in the know, a teacher’s license is meaningless if you can’t get the non-immigrant visa). I was starting to get good at this Thailand thing. I don’t even think I shook my head anymore. </p>\n<p>As I was dealing with my silly employer I started to look elsewhere. I made the mistake of taking on part-time lessons at another private language school. Relative to this new school, my full-time employer was the picture of competence and professionalism. On my first day I was set to teach a class of eighteen students. Not one came. The staff blamed it on the rain. I blamed it on the staff. That wasn’t my first lesson, but it was my last. Like a gifted karate student I was racing through the grades in Thai related living soon I would be approaching my black belt.</p>\n<p>It was during the same several months that I was dealing with my employment and visa situation that my wife started house shopping, this in turn sparked a lot of thinking about financial issues that I discussed last month. It was around April that I decided that I would be back in Japan at some point. Several months later I decided that it should be sooner rather than later and told my employers I would be leaving in August. </p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, I am still wrestling with the administration over issues of fair pay, planning time and sensible class-size and leveling. To be perfectly fair, they are not unscrupulous as much as unaware of what goes on in the classroom and what sort of planning is necessary for classes like TOEFL or Business Writing. I suppose another observation that many old-time Thai hands are familiar with is the Thai penchant for trying to please everyone. Several of my classes have been extended due to student cancellations and are now causing scheduling conflicts with new classes. Inability to make good on promises seems to be a double-edged sword that cuts both teachers and students alike. I will leave my Business Writing class halfway through the fifty hour course with no replacement in sight; the same can be said for a TOEFL class that will have a dozen hours outstanding when I leave at the end of August. Both of these classes were opened well after I had given my resignation date. </p>\n<p>Despite everything, I am having a great time in Khon Kaen. The nightlife is good relative to its size, far better than anything in Japan. There are several discos for the dancing inclined, dozens of venues with live music, more restaurants than you could shake a (chop)stick at. The city traffic isn’t too bad and there is free parking everywhere. My decision to return to Japan was explained last month by economics and has nothing to do with any dissatisfaction otherwise. Most of the snags that I have hit were at least partially expected. I have found Khon Kaen more livable than I had hoped. As much as I dislike visa runs, I don’t fear them like I did before arriving in the country. The car and the house on the outskirts of town afford me a degree of insularity that I could never find in Japan, meaning most of my interaction with Thais is limited to the classroom and very positive. Honestly, if I had a financial windfall today I would keep my butt right here. </p>\n<p>Khon Kaen is probably a better fit for the highly adventurous, highly adaptable new teacher or someone with a bit of TIT under the belt. Access to Western amenities is limited and there is the dual Thai/Lao language barrier. On the other hand, the people are among the friendliest in the Land of Smiles and very few tourists come through, meaning that the amicable attitude toward foreign residents remains fairly unspoiled. In any case, if anyone is interested in an underpaid teaching position that doesn’t offer a visa, I know of an opening coming up quite soon. </p>','','2005-08-01 00:53:06',1,'2005-08-01 00:53:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(131,7,'Casting off the shackles','casting-off-the-shackles','A free agent at last',' We all have to make decisions based on a given set of information provided at the time of the decision.

Something along those lines, anyway. For those of you bored enough to follow this column, you realize that I spent a fair amount of time teaching in Japan (six years to be exact) and then came to Thailand (Khon Kaen to be precise) to give life a try here. And like others before, and undoubtedly after me, I am headed back East to seek my fortune. So that’s it? You’re completely out of the game? No more Land of Smiles, bro? Not exactly. Like some bad Schwarzenegger flick, I’ll be back. I am married to a Thai lady and we are…building a house. I know this has never been done by a farang in Thailand and is strikingly original; It’s also the only way I can envision getting ahead in Thailand being that I have the business acumen of a road side mango vendor who sets up a stand next to a dozen others hawking the same fruit. To quote a poster on the Teachers in Thailand forum who goes by the name of Peeps, “…it really isn’t the wise man who come to Thailand to save money. For every success like BPhil (Bangkok Phil, ajarn.com webmaster) I bet there are many more who leave themselves financially vulnerable for the future.” That’s a bet I won’t take, which is to say our man Peeps has peeped the truth about teaching in Thailand. Nor is my idea of heading back to East Asia (Japan, namely) terribly inspired. Fellow ajarn writer, Ken May plus fellow frequent forum poster and Khon Kaen resident, Isaan Alex have both done the same, though their preferred money-maker is Korea. I know there are others who play for more than one team, drifting with the seasons between East and Southeast Asia, developed and developing countries. The developed camps seem firmly established as South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. Southeast Asia is represented primarily by Thailand with some real, I’ll say euphemistically, adventurers in Cambodia or Laos. Teaching in China and Vietnam - frozen communist dinosaurs thawing into hungry capitalist creatures - is still a gray area, perhaps better reimbursed than Thailand and company, salaries still lower than the developed camp and questionable livability. </p>\n<p>Free Agency has its advantages. </p>\n<p>Cost of living and salaries are equally high in East Asia, but if you are an adept player – rookies are rarely free agents – then you understand how to save money in the East. You mean, like no partying, man? Right. But the money you save in the East goes a long way in the Southeast. Conversely, the money you make in the East only goes so far in the East. A friend I’ll call Charles, a longtime English teacher in Japan, has just bought a mansion in Japan. It might be relevant to mention that ‘mansion’ really means condominium in Japanese, pronounced manshon - one of those great barbarized Anglicisms that I love so much. So Charles has been from bank to bank and finally got approval to buy his mansion at a cost of some 30million¥ - slightly under 300,000$US. This requires a 3million yen down payment – slightly under 30,000$US - and a thirty year mortgage (for-the-love-of-the-lord, one can build a nice house in rural Thailand for the amount of the down payment!). He’ll probably be spending 100,000¥ a month in mortgage payments – slightly under… you get the exchange rate by now, don’t you? After thirty years of work Charles will own his mansion outright, but I imagine there will still be committee dues and probably parking fees for as long as he resides there. This exorbitant expenditure will get Charles a spacious apartment (don’t let the adjectival descriptor overshadow the nominal reality, in other words, he ain’t got no friggin’ land). </p>\n<p>Free Agency has its advantages.</p>\n<p>As often as the debate roars about what a decent salary in Thailand should be, the talk is for naught. It’s a moot point. Mammary organs on a male bovine. As useless as a trash bins on Thai streets. The flip side of the cheap land phenomenon is the cheap salary phenomenon. My wife and I (my money, her name) bought a rai of land for 100,000 baht. If everyone was getting paid that much a month (teachers salaries are typically average as compared to other professions in a given society and a lot of English teachers in Thailand believe that’s about what they are worth) don’t think for a second that land prices would be so low. That’s the give and take. Teaching in Thailand is a great one year experience, a solid financial foundation for a future? - forget it. Even those who speak of saving money in Thailand as a teacher, talk in figures that would be easily wiped out with a monthly car payment or mortgage on a house of western standards.</p>\n<p>I have chosen not to sit on the benches, dying a slow financial death, but rather to take to the field as a free agent, playing in conditions (Japan) that might be less than ideal in the short term. The long term goal is to have enough assets (no precipitation on this parade please from scorned, burned and divorced louts who lost everything in their wife’s name when they got caught cheating) that monthly expenditures are limited to perishables and sundries. My current line of thought is if you can’t increase the income, then at least decrease the expenses.</p>\n<p>The question that begs asking is if I regret my decision to give up a decent salaried job and come to Thailand only to turn around and head back so soon. Not at all. I have seen the light. Simply visiting Thailand hadn’t given me an adequate insight into the dynamics of working and living here; I had to experience it first hand. Rather than being put off by the teaching scene, I am somewhat reassured to find that adequate work exists even in the provinces. If I was disappointed to find that employers and visas are not as straightforward as I had wished, I am equally appointed (by all rights I should be able un-negate it by dropping the prefix) to find the cost of living to be negligible and visa runs viable. The idea of slogging away in Japan till the end of time in order to have a manshon is as depressing a thought when you consider the possibility of having something much closer to the real thing in Thailand. The downsides to free agency are certainly many, but I prefer these inconveniences to the alternative of signing a long term contract for either team developed or team developing. </p>\n<p>One of the difficulties of playing for as a free agent getting Thaied down (I know, I really have to stop). A wife and kids put a crimp in the plans when thinking about moving between two countries. My wife and I don’t have children yet, but the visa process for her to come to Japan is painful one. Still the expenses involved will pay for themselves within a few months of work on a Japanese salary. I shouldn’t overstate the case however. The fact remains that with its overabundance of consumer retail outlets and drinking venues Japan is an easy place to spend every last yen earned. The difference is in the choice to do so. The option to save a substantial sum exists if one is willing to make sacrifices. The same can’t be said on Thai salaries that, even if saved in entirety, would amount to a bit less monthly than an ascetic Japan based teacher could pull of. Essentially that is what it comes down to for me, choice. Like some bizarre, economic refugee from the first world, I am choosing life in another country in order to gain an amount of financial success that I could not achieve here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>It wouldn’t be unfair to call teaching in Japan a young man’s game. The median age for teachers in Japan would be around twenty-five years. That is based on a very unscientific, yet undeniably valid observation on the part of yours truly. This is not to say that older teachers do not exist, but when we speak of older teachers we are talking of people in their thirties. In six years I had the pleasure of working with two, only two, people who were over forty. Contrast this with upcountry Thailand where almost everyone teaching is over forty, and you realize that the two teaching scenes are very different from one another. I am certain that Bangkok draws its fair share of younger teachers. I wonder how many of the twenty or thirty-somethings living in BKK have been at it for years. My bet is that most younger teachers in Thailand wash out in a year or two. In other words, I have an unsubstantiated hypothesis that I would like to prove or disprove, and yet have been able to do neither on nor the other – it is this: English teachers in Thailand are either older, retired, semi-retired men or young, traveling (read backpacker) adventurer. There is no thirty something career EFL/ESLer in Thailand like there is in Japan.</p>\n<p>Previously, I mentioned my friend Charles, a thirty something married to a Japanese lady, making a long-term teaching career for himself in Japan. In fact Charles is only one of about a dozen acquaintances of mine that fit the same description. These are mostly men, though one Australian lady married to a Japanese man fits the same description. They are all either married, engaged or in a long-term relationship with a Japanese person. They are all earning a reasonable living – though no one is getting rich. Some own cars. Some have children. A couple own houses. And they all have made their money in the English teaching industry in Japan. I would be extremely surprised to find that such a demographic exists anywhere in Thailand. Bear in mind that these people have bought houses (well, made a down payment at least), cars, etc. with money made from English teaching (there may exist such a non-teacher demographic in Thailand). A lot of these individuals came from difficult economic conditions in the West – industrialized northern England, Western Australia, mid-west of the US/Canada – and earned the entirety of their worth while working in Japan. Contrary to stereotypes, Japan is not such an expensive place to live, especially for an English teacher (I realize I am contradicting myself slightly, but it’s the question of choice again). Transportation is paid for by employers, insurance is cheap, and taxes are quite low for foreign residents. The elevated price of housing is offset by these factors and monthly expenses are about what you would pay in the West. All and all, there is fairly advantageous differential between salary and expenses, which makes getting by and then some quite feasible. </p>\n<p>The conclusion is that there really is no conclusion. We all have to make decisions based on a given set of information provided at the time of the decision. Right now, for me that means abandoning Thailand and going back to Japan. As much as it may seem to be a step back, I am forced to see it as a step forward.</p>','','2005-07-01 01:15:06',1,'2005-07-01 01:15:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(132,7,'Poverty\'s paradise','povertys-paradise','Meeting kindred spirits','All and all, the guys (and gal) at STUC are really great.

I felt helpless and isolated.  I wished there was someone I could talk to, someone who understood me.  Mine was a misery that wanted for company.  So you can imagine my elation at finding a support group for people like myself.   It’s called the Society for Teachers Underpaid in Country, but we tend use the acronym.  How I happened onto STUC is a story in and of itself, involving some heavy consumption of Samsong whiskey, and that I prefer left untold.  </p>\n<p>            My first meeting was a revelation.  I felt that a great weight had been lifted.  To know that there is not only another individual, but in fact many other individuals that are in the same situation as oneself is nothing short of cathartic.  I shed more than my share of tears when I heard a fellow attendee, whom I’ll call Ron, tell of his recent hardship when a soi dog in his neighborhood made off with one of his flip-flops leaving him to assort a mixed pair from the remaining half and one from a previous canine-footwear-jacking incident.  Poor Ron was a week from payday and it was either a new pair of sandals or his Sing and smokes; Ron chose wisely, but had to bear the brunt of giggles and snorts from his in-laws for an entire week.  I felt his pain.     </p>\n<p>            The next week Phil turned up and I was no longer the new guy.  He stood up and introduced himself, “Hi.  My name is Phil and I am stuck in Thailand.”  “Hi Phil,” we echoed back.  Phil’s story was a hard-luck one, but nothing unusual for us lot to hear.  He had come to Thailand after University and the first couple years had been good.  He was able to save a heady ten-thousand baht a month.  He got involved with a woman and used his savings as a down payment on one of those flash townhouses with a faux balcony on the second floor.  Things were ok, but then he got swallowed up in mortgage payments, UBC fees and the cost of school uniforms for his girlfriend’s kids.  Last month he sold his 100cc Honda Wave. Now it’s songtaew or sandals for the old boy when he wants to get around.  He said he’d like to go back to Blighty, but he doesn’t have money for the air ticket and his parents pulled life support after his trip to Pattaya last year and ‘Western Union mix-up’ as he calls it.  At least he got laid.</p>\n<p>            Week three was a surprise.  We had a lady in our midst. She didn’t think it would ever happen to her.  “It’s just that when I used to hear about people stuck in Thailand it’s like that’s too bad, but  it won’t happen to me.  Boy, was I wrong!”  She was wearing one of those Same Same T-shirts that they sell on Khao San.  It looked like she’d had it for a longtime (by the way, you can sell just about anything in Bangkok and some of the guys in STUC know where you can get the best deal for your used threads).  Doug, our group leader, offered her a Krung Thep cigarette.  It was a generous offer – Doug isn’t doing any better than the rest of us, he just likes pointing.  She smoked, cried and told us her story.  “I had a really good job.  I was making fifty-thousand baht a month.  Then some friends from the States, they were like, ‘let’s go on a trip around Southeast Asia.’ and I was like, ‘cool’. So we went, but they kept buying expensive drinks and shopping and using their credit cards and stuff and I was like, ‘me too’ and then I got the statement and I was like, ‘no way!’, except it was true and so I had to pay off the debt while earning baht and the fifty thousand a month was, like, about what the interest was.   That was three years ago.  No one in the USA is interested in my resume because of the black hole in it.  But I haven’t given up.  I’m thinking about selling some local handcrafts on Ebay.”  There was a collective sigh. We all knew the Ebay stage - the bird was in denial.</p>\n<p>            Last week was pretty cool. We did a potluck dinner and someone even brought pizza – cold and a couple days old, but pizza nonetheless.  I pitched in with somtam and sticky rice, which evidently wasn’t that inspired because the cardboard boxes we were using as tables were lined with the same.  Oh well.  I got to chatting with an old hand that refers to himself in the third person as PiJon and sports a nice gold chain that I might have nicked if PiJon hadn’t been twice my size.  PiJon doesn’t consider himself stuck in Thailand, but he likes socializing with farang once and a again.  He says that every time he gets enough money for a tank full of diesel he brings the pickup down from Isaan for a visit to Nana, Cowboy and of course STUC.  He turned me on to the fact that rice whiskey is a lot cheaper than Samsong.  Thanks PiJon.</p>\n<p>           All and all, the guys (and gal) at STUC are really great.

I think Doug summed it up when he said, “Look, if we go home now we’ll be on the bottom of our respective societies, but by continuing to teach in Thailand we guarantee ourselves a place firmly in the middle of this one.”  </p>\n<p>            Anyway, if you still have a left and right sandal of any sort, and you can bum some fags (newbie fee), then why not drop by STUC and tell us your story.

The most striking differences in teaching come with a change in age group or class size, not nationality. ','<blockquote><p>All generalizations are dangerous, even this one</p>\n<p>-Alexander Dumas</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>          Six months ago I was in a staffroom of a language school in Japan venting to my coworkers about how glad I was to be done teaching Japanese students.  I was suffering from a slight case of burnout after having done a year of six, sometimes seven day weeks to supplement my income in preparation for moving to Thailand.  I found sarcasm in the staffroom to afford me some degree of insanity insulation.  To my mind at the time, the Japanese were collectively the most dull, timid, narrow-minded nationality in the world and in turn every lesson was a slog through shyness and stereotypes.  It was simply a question of time until I would be teaching a new nationality of students, and though I didn’t have any romantic illusions of the Thai as ideal, little language learners, I am a firm believer in the notion that a change is good as a holiday.  Even if I had to sit through endless hours of “…but Thai food is spicy,” it would be welcome relief from “Can you use chopsticks?”.  </p>\n<p>        People love generalizations and stereotypes.  They make the world more comprehensible and more comfortable.  They aid in decision making.  They are fun.  They are overstated.  I wish that in order to make life easier for the English teacher in Asia, I were able to summarize the differences between Japanese and Thai students in some succinct manner.  Thai students are fun.  Japanese students are serious.  Unfortunately for would-be pigeonholers, I find any comparison between Japanese and Thai students to be an exercise in hair splitting.   I am limiting the scope of my statement to students, not to the general populace where differences are more apparent.  </p>\n<p>        World over the language classroom is fraught with hesitancy, under confidence and apathy.  How many of us remember High School French or Spanish?  I don’t recall any raucous debates over societal ills, or long oratories on metaphysics.  What does come to mind is a group of mostly bored students passing notes and randomly repeating words the meaning to which was unknown.   When comparing nationalities as language students, we note that even individual personalities flatten under the pressure of a foreign language, not to mention national characteristics.  The fun loving Thai outside the classroom may become the boring (and bored) student once the lesson begins.  The eternally embarrassed Japanese schoolgirl isn’t suddenly going to come out of her shell after mastering irregular verbs.  A foreign language reduces the beginner to infancy, the intermediate to childhood and the advanced learner to the state of confused adolescence.    </p>\n<p>            In Japan and Thailand the language classroom and the communication limitations within it are further compounded by some of what I will term Pan-Asian issues.  The first is groupism.  Groupism tends to make doing plenary (the teacher interacting with the students as a group) activities difficult.  To simply throw a question to the group is a recipe for silence in cultures where standing out is frowned upon.   The second issue is rooted in the rote learning that goes on in Asian schools.  I find that students in both Thailand and Japan have difficulty formulating independent questions, not due to a lack of grammatical competency, but because they are simply unable to come up with an idea for a question due to the fact they are not encouraged to form questions as part of their formative education.  Another frustration that exists for teachers in both Japan and Thailand is in getting students to expand on thoughts.  This may be partially based in linguistic deficiency, but I often feel that it goes back to the idea of exceptionality being frowned upon.  To talk at length about a recent trip may be construed as overly personal or impolite.  This flows into my final Pan-Asian issue, reticence.  Although it manifests itself in different ways in Thailand and Japan, both societies hold some idea of polite distance in social relationships.  Americans sit on the opposite end of the pole feeling a compulsion to reveal the most intimate parts of their biography within minutes of meeting a stranger.  In Asia social dialogue often centers on such ‘neutral’ subjects as food, food and food.  All this hesitancy to delve into non-gastronomic conversation matter makes for more frustration and silence in lessons related to life activities other than stuffing one’s face.  </p>\n<p>          Asian language learners (I suspect this is global, though can’t testify) are often ignorant of their role as students.  Learning a foreign language is a student-centered activity.  Unlike History or Science where the teacher imparts and the students intake information, learning a language requires the student to be highly active in the process.  Understanding a new word in a foreign language doesn’t make that vocabulary part of the learner’s active (usable) vocabulary.  The student must actually use the new word, probably several times, in order that they are able to add it to their active lexicon.  Asian students often have a sizeable passive (understood) vocabulary, but are able to come up with the most basic of sentences due to the dormancy of their knowledge.  It’s analogous to grasping the theory behind a good golf swing - it doesn’t amount to jack squat unless you practice over and over.  The problem lies in the belief that attending an English lesson is the same as going to a History class.  Most students in both Japan and Thailand incorrectly assume that showing up to class and listening passively is all that is needed to master English.  This manifests itself in a lack of classroom effort, sometimes construed by the teacher as laziness, but more likely a confusion on the part of the students as to their role – they believe it to be passive, but it should be active (Truthfully, the teacher’s role is to communicate to the learner their role, so I won’t pin  all the blame on the students - but it is exceptionally difficult to convey the idea of learner role in a foreign language to beginner students of that language, so I’ll pin some of it on the students or school staff).  The sum of this learner role misunderstanding is that classrooms in Japan and Thailand are filled with students who sit back and wait for the teacher to work magic.   </p>\n<p>         In spite of the similarity between English students in Japan and Thailand, I have been able to tease out a few, minor differences.  With magnifying glass and razor blade, let me proceed with the hair strand division:  Thai students tend to be less punctual than the Japanese, slipping in and out of class at about any point in the lesson.  Japanese students tend to be more grammar focused, often to the point of seriously reduced fluency, as if speaking English was a precision shooting event in which there was no time component.  The Thai, by comparison, are less concerned with grammar and slightly more fluent.  Japanese with its relatively simple phonetic system and flat intonation makes for clear, monotone pronunciation of English by its speakers.  Thai, on the other hand, with its complex tones and bizarre consonants (‘ng’ in an initial position) lends itself to an incomprehensible pronunciation of English words.  Simply put, the Japanese are easier to understand.  Thai students do value a certain amount of sanuk in the classroom; games are a mainstay of many lessons.  Japanese students tend to demand more grammar foolishness, and seem to feel that a lesson on tense differentiation is highly valuable (For many reasons, I am convinced that it is an absolute waste of time, at least in a classroom with a native speaker of a language).  I might add that any of the above observations are gross generalizations and from student to student it is possible to find the very opposite of what I have asserted.</p>\n<p>        Six months of hindsight have brought about a small epiphany on teaching English as a foreign language – it’s the same game wherever you go.  The most striking differences in teaching come with a change in age group or class size, not nationality.  The most concrete adjustments I have made in my teaching since coming to Thailand have to do with planning lessons for longer periods of time and larger groups.  I can hardly speak of tailoring my lessons more toward Thai students other than using games a bit more frequently than I did in Japan.   For a teacher seeking a professional change, a different school may well be worth a different country - something to bear in mind when setting out on a new experience, especially when that experience comes with a change in salary as well as setting.

Maybe not.  She picked up the drink and started sipping on it again.  The sip became a slurp as she neared the bottom.

There are more TEFL, TESL, and CELTA training courses available per capita here than anywhere else I am familiar with.  Many of these programs offer employment on completion making the transition that much easier.  The latest trend seems to be beachside locations for the courses, yet another plus.  Thai students are easy-going, friendly and fun, all and all a good nationality to start a teaching career with.  Domestic travel in Thailand is quite affordable, diverse and spectacular.  I’ll spare the guide book metaphors, but you’ve got your beaches, mountains, elephants, etc.  Sure beats Korea, Taiwan or Japan.  You will definitely have a great experience in Thailand whether or not you find teaching to be your cup of tea.  If I can give someone considering where to embark on teaching English overseas one piece of advice, it’s come to the Land of Smiles.</p>\n<p> Whatever you do, don’t start an ESL career in Thailand.  Why?  I’ll tell you.  Unless, you come over on a substantial mattress of financial support you will be behind from the get-go and spend your whole time here figuring out how to make ends meet.  Is Thailand a good place to visit?  Yes.  Cheap?  If you are on a developed country pay scale it is.  Here you are likely to be on a third of what you get back home.  Moreover, Thai employers can be less than scrupulous.  Many of them don’t care about visa regulations and won’t support your efforts to get one.  Do you really want to start an ESL career as an “illegal”?  What’s a border run, you ask.  Does it sound good?  It isn’t.  Many big English schools in East Asia will hire you overseas, provide a visa so that you have it when you arrive, train you at their expense and set-up (if not pay for) accommodation.  In addition, these companies will lay a decent size paycheck on you every month.  Are you interested in Southeast Asia?  Give it a couple years in the Japan, Korea or Taiwan, get your training and some money together, and then come give Thailand a shot.  If there is one piece of advice I can give you – don’t start fresh in Thailand.  </p>\n<p> Upcountry is where it’s at.  Life outside of Bangkok is the only way to go.  I know it’s hard to get an international flight that doesn’t land in Banger’s, but try to if you can.  The capital is polluted, dirty and will shorten your life span.  Forget about the air, think about the traffic.  The general premise behind roadways is that they are strips of land on which vehicles MOVE, not in BKK.  Out in provincial Thailand you are a novelty, not a tourist.  People are genuinely interested in you and “stiff the Farang” is a game that is not widely played in non-tourist areas, and of course, the capital.  Sure you can make a bit more money in Bangkok, but even if it’s an extra 10,000baht a month that won’t come close to resolving the accommodation situation.  In the country you can rent a comfortable house for 3-5000 yen a month.  I am sure cramped apartments near the skytrain will easily eat your salary difference, if not more.  As for traffic, in the sticks you’ll negotiate some livestock, but otherwise the road is yours.  Live long and prosper… upcountry.</p>\n<p> Bangkok, Bangkok, Bangkok.  A lot is made of the City of Angels, and it should be.  Bangkok is a cosmopolitan, international city that is actually affordable to a teacher.  Museums, temples, bookstores, restaurants, theater and all of it at a price that a fraction of what you would pay back home in the outrageously expensive capitals of the west.  Plus, Bangkok is teaming with jobs for English teachers.  If you are keen at working for crumbs somewhere upcountry that makes unfair demands, and can, because they are the only game in town, well suit yourself.  Bangkok is an ESL heaven.  Got a certificate?  OK, come lecture at a University.  Try that anywhere else.  Miss the niceties of home, a decent coffee, farang food that isn’t fast food?  Try finding an Italian restaurant somewhere in rural Thailand.  Certainly anyone aspiring to more than teach English should be in the middle of the action.  Maybe you’re the kind of person who is interested in befriending the crazy guy down the road because nobody else understands you, but if you want a decent social scene with people from back home, BKK is the place to be.

Employers back home see a couple years overseas as a positive, ten years overseas and they are wondering if the statute of limitations has just run out on some crime you committed.  All the things that you find slightly annoying about Thailand now are like a rock in your shoe, with the passage of time they will rub, worsening, not disappearing.  What do you really hope to gain in the next few years that you haven’t already gotten -  another twenty verbs in Thai and an acquired taste for Rice Whiskey?  You can always come back on vacation.  No time is better than the present…</p>\n<p> Where are you going so fast?  Off to claim your place at the table in the “real world”? What, you miss your cubicle?!  A job without a calculator isn’t really work?!  Do the following articles of clothing sit in your wardrobe back home; a raincoat, boots, heavy jacket, hat?  If you really think chasing after consumer goods is the meaning of life, then you not only shouldn’t you leave, you should stay a lot longer in Thailand, ideally in a temple.  There is a reason all Britons winge, Americans are fat and Australians drink Bunderberg Rum… they are miserable.  Why do you think they call it the Land of Smiles?  Everything is in the moment…     </p>\n<p> Well, I think I have set a few things straight and am glad to have the chance to share my knowledge with others.  Keep an eye out for my two upcoming articles on The Kingdom, “Thailand: Developing Utopia” and “Lies and Deceit: The Siamese Conundrum”.  </p>','','2005-03-01 01:47:06',1,'2005-03-01 01:47:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(136,7,'I finally made it','i-finally-made-it','Snapshots of my first month in Thailand','Let’s start with this one, the moment I landed at Don Muang airport and officially changed my status from Gaijin to Farang.

This notion must have been inculcated through various Mother Goose stories, Fairy Tales and other exposure to books for children because I certainly never lived anywhere near a farm or any other lieu where chickens reside. It would appear that I was slightly mislead, or perhaps it is that the roosters in rural Isaan are quite different from those in whatever Germanic country from which sprung forth such stories including sunup respecting cocks. I cry foul (yes I know in the past I have promised to avoid lowbrow puns, but I simply can’t help myself) because upon my arrival in Thailand I sojourned for several days in a small, avian riddled village where I was awaken at the not so holy hour of four in the am by the cocks’ cock-a-doodlings. This was a marked change from living in Japan where I was usually awaken at the not so holy hour of two am by the throaty groan of my neighbor’s Harley Davidson. I don’t necessarily prefer one to the other, but as they say, “A change is as good as a vacation,” so I’ll welcome the cacophony of the foul fowl to that of the foul neighbor. </p>\n<p>And so I am now in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Saying goodbye to Japan wasn’t really so difficult. The hardest part was sitting in stupor through endless evening drinks held in my honor. I do believe that the farewell process has thoroughly pickled my liver and may have done as much for several other vital organs. I suppose the biggest blow has yet to be felt, though on the fifteenth of next month my bank account will be lonelier for my absence from Nippon. Nonetheless, this period of transformation is a welcome one. I suppose anyone having embarked on an ESL career overseas has done so, at least partly, out of a desire for change – a change of lifestyle, climate, salary (hardly ever for the better), etc. And so, rather than pithering on this month about something related to teaching, instead I am going to give the reader a series of mental snapshots from the last month of my life, a pastiche, if you will, of all that is strange, wonderful, frustrating and stimulating about arriving in a new land to start a new life. So get ready to swallow your yawns like you were teaching a post-lunch private lesson to an uninterested high-school student… here is my slide show.<br />\nLet’s start with this one, the moment I landed at Don Muang airport and officially changed my status from Gaijin to Farang. Notice the naively enthusiastic smile.</p>\n<p>This is a good one. I’m sitting on White Sands Beach in Koh Chang. Remark my disgruntled look as I wave off the hundredth vendor of the day.<br />\nA picture of me on the ferry back from Koh Chang to Trat. Nothing special until you consider that at the same moment the other side of Thailand was being devastated by a Tsunami. Guess Koh Chang wasn’t such a bad choice after all.<br />\nIt’s 9am and I am drinking Lao Khao (rice whiskey) with the Isaan villagers. After all, I don’t want to offend anyone by not conforming to local customs.<br />\nIt’s 2pm in the afternoon of the same day. “Passed out” might apply more than the frequently used “napping”.<br />\nThis one is special. It’s my girlfriend bribing a member or the local constabulary after running a red light. He claimed he wanted to make a donation to a temple. How could we say no?<br />\nAnother good one with a law enforcement official. This time we’re being stopped for my lack of helmet while riding a motorcycle. It was stolen the previous day. If you look closely, you’ll see the officer is smiling at the naïve farang as he forgives the offence.<br />\nWe are on a roll. In this one I am bribing the police after getting stopped for speeding. The officer has told me in English that I am “handsome”. Maybe that’s why we were able to talk him down from five hundred to two hundred baht.<br />\nSorry, that’s all with the boys in brown. This isn’t bad. It’s me handing over a large sum of money as a down payment on my new car, a Honda Jazz. Jazzy.<br />\nIn this one you see the look of horror on my face when I check my account balance after purchasing the car.<br />\nHere I am at my first job interview in Thailand. Note the suit jacket. It was really hot that day too.<br />\nHere’s another one at the school. Can you see the perplexed look on my face when the school administrator explains my schedule and wage? I wish I had audio on this, maybe then I could make sense of it.<br />\nEw, this is my first class! Very different from Japan. Look at the high school girl talking on her phone. It’s just like I read about on Ajarn.com.<br />\nThis one is funny now, but believe me, after driving from Khon Kaen to Bangkok for five hours I did not want to be swerving in and out of drunks at 1:30am on Khao San Road looking for a place to stay.<br />\nThis one was a real lowlight. I have just scraped my new car in a parking lot. The other driver says “mai pen rai” in case I have forgotten that I am now in Thailand.<br />\nThis dude here is my landlord. He’s swell. He dropped off a leaking tank of propane in my kitchen, but, once again, “mai pen rai”.<br />\nCheck out the Pali writing on the hood of my new car. It has been blessed to the tune of five hundred baht. We can now take off the plastic seat covers and drive at break-neck speed. Buddha be blessed.<br />\nI know a picture of the Big C department store isn’t that exciting, but since coming to Khon Kaen I have been dragged there on a daily basis by my girlfriend, so I thought I would take a picture for posterity.<br />\nHere’s one of me and the girlfriend having lunch with a guy from the motor vehicle department. We are paying and he is going to help my girlfriend pass her driving exam. He looks quite full, doesn’t he?<br />\nThis one is only an hour later. As you may tell from the look on my girlfriend’s face, the test didn’t go so well. You’ll also see our satiated government official looking embarrassed. Turns out, he couldn’t really help. Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch?<br />\nWell, I think I have done my best to help you get a good night’s rest. I promise that next month you won’t have to sit through any more of my boring pictures. I will be back to bore you with teaching related material (or maybe some nasty jabs at school administrators who continue to postpone my classes). In any case, until then drive safely and keep a five note tucked under the visor in case you should happen upon any donations to the local wat, impromptu blessings or other vehicular unpleasantries. </p>','','2005-02-01 01:53:06',1,'2005-02-01 01:53:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(137,7,'Hoop hopping','hoop-hopping','The dreaded Thai visa procedure','You go to the Thai Embassy in aforementioned UN least-developed-nation-status state and submit your paperwork.

It was the gleam in his eye, the way he started the conversation without the typical lead-ins that people so like.</p>\n<p>“Not really. Why?” I was looking up at the counter indicating that I was now only five desperate souls with their futures in their handful of paperwork away from submitting my application for a tourist visa. I should backtrack at this point to mention what I needed to submit to get a tourist visa: a letter of employment (no independently wealthy travelers allowed) two just-so-sized photographic images of yours truly, a round-trip airline ticket with fixed return date (open jaw tickets strictly verboten) paid in full, and me trusty passport with at least six months validity (why? you only issued me a single entry visa anyway, it’s only good for two months without one trip to an immigration office, and then it’s good for all of three months if I’m lucky). All of this to get a visa that I could have pretty much gotten by just hauling my ass and ass pocket containing American passport to Don Muang’s little revenue-generator-cum-airport. </p>\n<p>“Because if you’re moving to Thailand to work as an English teacher, you’re really should. You should start jumping rope now, just to prepare for it.” He was sitting next to me and the man at the counter seemed to be applying for the I-want-to-work-and-live-and-retire-and-get-married visa that only necessitates 67 different forms, all copied in triplicate and notarized by Thaksin himself, so I had time.</p>\n<p>“Yeah, I’ll bite. Tell me about getting a visa to work in Thailand.” I kept my gaze forward and reclined a bit, making myself comfortable.</p>\n<p>He folded his arms and reclined also. “Do you have a pen and paper? Forget it. It wouldn’t do any good anyway. They’ll have changed it tomorrow, except they won’t tell anyone, even themselves. It’s like this. You find a job. The employer gives you some paperwork, a lot of paperwork. It probably takes a long time, so you risk overstaying your tourist visa, so you have to go to the immigration office for an extension, which requires some paperwork that your school probably will be slow in doing because they’re already busy with the paperwork for your Non-Immigrant B visa. Then, once you get the paperwork you need for the Non-Immigrant B you take yourself to the closest border at which you probably have to apply for a visa.”</p>\n<p>“You mean the Thai working visa.” I was slightly confused.</p>\n<p>“No, of course not. You have to apply for a tourist visa to get into Cambodia, Burma or Laos, not for Malaysia, but then if you’re going to Malaysia you have money and, therefore not an English teacher. Anyway, you get your visa to get into said backwater country where there’s a Thai Embassy, so you can change the status of your visa from Tourist to Non-Immigrant B.”</p>\n<p>“So, I have to apply for a visa to get my visa?” My expression must have been quizzical at best. </p>\n<p>“Precisely!”</p>\n<p>“Wow!?”</p>\n<p>“Yeah,” he paused for effect. “Then you go to the Thai Embassy in aforementioned UN least-developed-nation-status state and submit your paperwork. The immigration officer then asks you if the school that you’re going to work for is on ‘the list’. Then you say, ‘What list?’ and he says, ‘The list’, then you shrug and he tells you that it isn’t, then you say ‘So why did you ask,’ and he says nothing, and you say ‘What should I do?’ and he says ‘Damned if I care, but you ain’t gettin’ no stinkin’ visa unless your school is on “the list”.’ Then you call the school that employed you and they tell you that the manager is off. Then you go back to Thailand and furiously tell the manager about this so-called list and he looks at you with the same expression that you have right now.”</p>\n<p>“I didn’t realize I had an expression.” I retorted.</p>\n<p>“You do. It’s called totally dumbstruck.”</p>\n<p>“Oh, right. Please continue,” I urged.</p>\n<p>“So the manager of the school you’re now maybe going to work for because you still don’t have a visa says “Mai pen rai”, which roughly translates into “Isn’t it funny when I bear no responsibility for mistakes that I made?” You say “Pen Rai”, because your Thai sucks and you think that you’re negating what the manager has just said. Then the manager calls the Embassy in previously stated, landmine infested nation, and says ‘I want to be on the list.’ Then your school is on the list, so you can get a visa.”</p>\n<p>“So let me guess,” I say, “I have to go back to the formerly noted formerly war-torn country and apply for a visa to get in, and then go to the Thai Embassy again?”</p>\n<p>He smirked. “You’re a quick study, kid. You’ll do well.”</p>\n<p>I glanced back at the counter on the wall. It hadn’t advanced. “Go on.”</p>\n<p>“Then you’ve got your Non-Imm B visa.” (I guess that’s what those in the know call such things).</p>\n<p>“So now I can work?” I ask innocently.</p>\n<p>“Ha!” he exclaims so loudly that others are now staring at us.</p>\n<p>“What’s so funny? It’s a working visa, right?” I’m getting annoyed.</p>\n<p>“How cute! You’ve been in Japan too long. No it’s not a working visa. Now, you can stay in Thailand for a year, but you still need to get your teacher’s license.”</p>\n<p>I’m now turned toward the man. “How does this happen?”</p>\n<p>“More paperwork, TEFL/TESL certificates, pleading with the MOE. That stands for Ministry of Education. If your school isn’t on the list, then it probably isn’t in good with the MOE, so you’ll probably have some snags.”</p>\n<p>“But if I get that and then I can work?”</p>\n<p>“Well, then you have to get working papers,” he’s obviously taking a lot of pleasure in this. I’ve furrowed my brow to the point of pain.</p>\n<p>“Huh!” I say.</p>\n<p>“Yeah more paperwork, little booklets and the like, probably your employer will hold on to your stuff, so you’re at their mercy. Oh it’s almost my number,” he says looking at the counter on the wall.</p>\n<p>“Are you a teacher?” I ask.</p>\n<p>“Yep. So, how does it work in Japan?” His smile tells me he knows something.</p>\n<p>“My company sends me some documents and then I take them to an office about twenty minutes from my house. I fill out a small form, sit down and read a book. When they call my number I submit the paperwork, my passport and a self-addressed postcard. A couple weeks later the postcard comes to my address and I go back to the office. They give me my passport back and I go down the hall to get a multiple entry stamp, which is good for the entirety of my visa. Then I can work legally in Japan and exit and enter as much as I like until the visa expires three years later.” </p>\n<p>“You don’t say?” He leers at me and his tone drips sarcasm. “What if you change jobs?”</p>\n<p>“Yeah, I change jobs. No worries. What about it?” I don’t like what’s coming.</p>\n<p>“In Thailand if you quit you’re job, you’re visa becomes invalid and you gots to haul yo’self out o’ country within a week.”</p>\n<p>“Now you’re kidding, right.” I’m starting to get angry. Who is this guy anyway? “Messing about with the newbie? That’s your game, is it?”</p>\n<p>“Whatever, friend don’t take my word for it. Maybe one of those fine immigrations officials would fill you in.” I glance at the counter. The officer wears an angelic expression of someone who is about to open fire in high school cafeteria. “They’ll sort you out if you don’t trust me.”</p>\n<p>“The whole thing makes me tired just thinking about it,” I blurt out.</p>\n<p>Now his sneer Cheshire cats across his face, “Wait ‘till you actually do it!” He breaks into demonic laughter until the piercing stare of the immigration officers causes him to chuckle in soft, yet hysterical way under his breath much like Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. I am relieved when my number is called. I approach and smile politely at the man behind the counter. His thousand-yard-stare doesn’t register my greeting. I remember the line that Pyle utters before offing the sadistic drill instructor, “I AM in a world of shit.” </p>','','2004-12-01 02:00:06',1,'2004-12-01 02:00:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(138,7,'Veni vidi vici','veni-vidi-vici','Triple V and the certificates','For those of us coming to Thailand, vacillating about venturing a certificate won’t turn us into Verbosely Valiant Vince.

But don’t make the same mistake that Vehemently Vacuous Vince made.','<p>Vim and Vigor Vince bounced into the staffroom and extended me a firm handshake.  I had seen many newcomers during my tenure, but none so enthusiastic, so eager, so excited to get into the classroom.  His spring-toed step reminded me of a gymnast starting the floor exercise.  He popped in and out of his chair filling out files, grabbing resources, checking the schedule, a pen behind his ear, one in the pocket, advice flowing out like lava from a long awaited volcanic eruption.  In short, he was an annoying shit.  Within one week I had received one transfer request, a few grumblings from the staff, several instructor complaints, and a handful of negative feedback from the students all due to one Very Vociferous Vince.  And yet for all that, VVV taught well-planned, thorough lessons that made most of the senior teachers’ lessons seem like nothing more than fruitless babble (maybe because they were).  I had the pleasure of observing him on several occasions, and can attest to his ability in the classroom.  In fact, the student complaints were mostly based around an overabundance of handouts that he distributed furiously throughout the lessons.  Students left the class with small swaths of razed forest whose purpose remained enigmatic.  “Oh, just review it at home,” he would declare exasperated that he had not been able to convey the full nuance of conditionals one to three in the space of forty minutes.  Excellent teaching skill, little interpersonal skill, arrogant, able to alienate whole staffrooms in a single contradictory phrase, overconfident, under admired, more materials than a small library. Where from did all the above traits stem?  The answer is a four letter word…CELTA.</p>\n<p>          Our boy Verbally Vapid Vince was hot off a month in Bangkok where he had done the course.  We knew this because he mentioned it during every ten minute interval.  “In the CELTA course, they said that…”, “When I was doing the CELTA course, I found out that…”  “If you do a CELTA course, you’ll learn that…”  Say, Verily Vexing Vince does CELTA stand for Cocky English Language Teacher Assaulted?  ‘Cause it will in a minute.  Not that he hadn’t, in some way, benefited from the course, as I mentioned he was far ahead of the game for a beginning teacher, yet the negative feedback kept-a-coming.  He was overambitious and the students felt more intimidated by his lessons plans and uneasy in his frenetic presence.  Evidently, in his CELTA course someone neglected to impress upon him the importance of student teacher rapport, although they certainly did inculcate him with a respect for the photocopy machine (I wonder how many of these DELTA drill instructors have seen the inside of a real classroom since they joined the Parris Island of ESL).  Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that these courses do a world of good in getting people up to speed on the basics of English language instruction, but nothing can substitute for hours spent in the classroom learning by doing.  What are you rattling on about, dear boy? - Well, this is my long winded lead in to world of TEFL certificates.  </p>\n<p>          For the layman, TEFL stands for Teaching English For Living in a Foreign Country and Having a lot of Fun while Drinking all Night and Talking to Foreigners during the Day and Calling it a Cultural Experience before Going Back to your Home Country and Getting a Real Job, except that’s too long for an acronym, so they just shorten it to TEFL.  There’s also another certificate, which is basically the same, Teaching English So Living in a Foreign Country isn’t So Fraught with Visa Runs, again a bit too long for an advertiseable acronym, so they just parse it down to TESL.  These little certificates can be had for as little as 1000baht on Khao San road, or as much as 1,500 dollars at a CELTA school (CELTA is admittedly the most reputable of the bunch.  A CELTA instructor certificate is known as DELTA).  You can do them online, or on the beach.  They can prepare you well for teaching abroad, or for marrying a foreign broad (that’s without a doubt the cheesiest joke I’ve ever made, which is why I leave it here for posterity).  Basically, there is no regulatory body, no real accreditation of these certificates, or schools that hand them out, for the most part.  Sure, some advertised in LOS will be recognized by the Thai Ministry of Education, but what does that mean exactly?  A thick, unmarked envelope left discretely on someone’s desk, me thinks.  </p>\n<p>What’s the point of my rant?  None, I’ve completely lost my train of…ah, yes, recently I’ve been doing one of these little buggers myself.  Why? Because the above mentioned MOE is quite keen on them, necessary for Visas and Working Papers and the like.  Now, yours truly works six, seven day weeks in the Land of the Rising Yen, so that I will be able to buy my own Amphur when I come to Thailand, but that doesn’t leave me much time to mess about with conjugating verbs and talking about meta-functions with the sadistic, photocopy-loving, special forces DELTA bunch – plus there’s no such course offered in Japan because certification ain’t so big over here (at least not offered regularly in the Tokyo area that advertises online), which in and of itself is a bit of an interesting comment on the ESL situation in Jworld - in short, not enough cowboys to necessitate strict regulations from the cavalry.  Interesting comment number two on the Japan situation is that it is all but impossible to find even an on site TEFL course in the Tokyo area.  There are numerous reasons for this, but I think the biggest are expense of living, even temporarily, in Tokyo, and the fact that most schools in Japan have recruiting offices overseas, so the local talent pool, as it were, is relatively unimportant.  In any case, I’m doing a bit of a course online.  Granted an onsite course would be better for the observation and feedback, but with thousand of teaching hours, hundreds of training hours and dozens of observed hours with feedback, all while I was being paid, in so far as my confidence goes I guess I feel a bit like Voluminous Verbiage Vince (tired of the VVV thing yet? Too bad! It’s the only device I got this month).</p>\n<p>To conclude my meandering diatribe, I think the point is this.  For those of us coming to Thailand, vacillating about venturing a certificate won’t turn us into Verbosely Valiant Vince.  It’s all in the doing.  Bite the bullet.  Do the certificate.  But don’t make the same mistake that Vehemently Vacuous Vince made.  Listen to those with experience, learn what they know and realize that teaching is a learning experience.  All the sharp lesson plans, memorized grammar rules, and information gap exercises won’t get you far in the classroom (or the staffroom) if you don’t have the basic interpersonal skills to connect with those around you, students and coworkers alike.  The classroom is not a campaign and ESL teachers are not legionnaires.  Leave Veni, Vidi, Vici to Vince and value your students as individuals and not simply vessels into which you can vector your verbal knowledge.</p>\n<p>(The author pledges to his readers and promises his publisher that he will never again pursue alliteration as a prosaic piece of comedy.

The monks quickly bow (clock) out of the temple as I check the next day’s scroll.  It looks all right.  I bid the nuns farewell – they work late into the night.  I join the novice monks outside the temple and we all proceed to the izakaya.','<p>I start my day in the same fashion as my fellow practitioners of the Way by rising at the precise hour of somewhere between nine and twelve.  Upon waking we greet the new day with a salutation that could be collectively heard across The Land of the Rising Sun, “Oh my head!”  Following the morning salutation, we began a cleansing ritual that consists of drinking copious amounts of water in order to purify our bodies of toxins that we might have received during the previous night’s, what do you call it, err – meditation.  After performing said ritual I find myself with an hour or two of free time in which I can engage in such worldly pursuits as looking at the ajarn.com forum and amuse myself with the latest rants of former monks for whom monastic life was too harsh.  Soon, however, I must iron my ceremonial robes (shirt) and don them before affixing my sash (necktie).  I then set out for the temple to begin the day’s practice.  I walk to the local station and board the train.  All eyes are upon me.  Doubtlessly the masses are filled with reverence for me and what I represent – the Dharma (Ok, it’s just English).  I pay them no heed, mine is a higher calling and certainly their stares only serve to remind me of such.  </p>\n<p>          Arriving at the Zendo I go through yet another ritual whereby I punch a time clock (this is purely ceremonial, I receive alms by the lesson, not the hour, though the temple elders assure me this is necessary for taxation reasons).  As I am the head abbot at this particular temple my work begins before the other novice monks.  My first task is to arrange the day’s schedule.  In my sect, there are no set classes.  Laypeople can come in at their choosing by reserving a session in advance, meaning that our classes alter daily.  All of this is recorded on a spreadsheet that is hung out in the back room – think of it as our divine scroll.  I always arrange aforementioned scroll a day in advance, but invariably members of the nunnery (all-female Japanese staff) change it in a bid to drive the head abbot to anger.  I have detected their ruse.  This is only a test.  It is one thing to meditate on patience, another to practice it.  I will remain centered as I rearrange the scroll.  The nuns will not get the best of me.  As I work hastily to get the scroll in order the novice monks enter the Zendo.  I hear their grumblings at not yet having the scroll posted.  Finally, I finish.  We are ready to begin the teachings, but wait, in all of this I have barely had time to acquaint myself with the day’s lessons and the gong shall sound in several seconds.  This might be a problem for a novice, but I’m the abbot, intimately familiar with the sutras (lesson materials) and can recite them by heart.  I look at the laypersons’ files and determine that today will we meditate on Chapter 6, Verse 24.  The gong sounds. We move into the classrooms began reciting the sutras.  Mine is old, but precious lesson, “Today, we are going to talk about travel advice.  Hirotaka, have you traveled to a fo-reign count-ry?”  My chant is well practiced and the laypeople seem to understand the teaching.  My reading of the sutras is usually quite formal and arranged, but today I venture out of the routine with a short sermon on a recent pilgrimage to a sushi bar.  The laymen are impressed that a monk would actually eat a sentient being (or is that I’m foreign and they are impressed that a foreigner would actually eat sushi?)  </p>\n<p>          Let me say a word about the laypeople.  In the afternoon our worshippers are made up largely of bored housewives who have been known to occasionally flirt with the monks.  If this happens, it’s my duty to remind the monks of their vows (anti-socialization policy).  The very essence of our practice could be jeopardized by such going-ons.  Several monks in the past have had to leave the Zendo for said infractions, luckily none under my watch.  The other groups of laypeople who frequent afternoon sessions seem to be mainly retirees and the unemployed (this is true; the Japanese government is encouraging those with stagnant careers to study the Way by reimbursing a fair portion of the temple collections).  In any case, it’s not until the evening that the friendly salaryman pops in for his dose of spirituality.  Unfortunately, the salarymen often make for bad worshippers as they are overworked and tired, often forgetting even the most basic sutras (like the past tense), but I digress.</p>\n<p>          So, my lesson finishes forty-five minutes after it began, again sounded by the gong (all right, it’s only an annoying bell).  I must move quickly.  There are only ten minutes between sessions, barely enough time to write file comments, reprimand the nuns for some petty infraction, and relieve myself of the morning’s purification water.  Back in the breach and fired out again.  I do this four times in the afternoon, break for one lesson and then back for another four.  However, as the head abbot I have planning periods where I am supposed to plot the direction of our temple, thinking of ways to improve our practice.  I prefer to spend this time gazing upon the city before me and meditating on my upcoming move to the pure land (Thailand).  </p>\n<p>You see, the practice of the Way, in Japan, has become decadent and impure.  Bloated on decent salaries and easy visa regulations, our monks have lost their higher sense of purpose.  I have heard through the grapevine (internet) that the practice in Thailand remains pure and focused.  In that Kingdom, I am told, practitioners of the Way are paid only in alms of sticky rice and water (what else could one afford on 30,000Bht a month?)  Truly these monks must be devoted!  So, I intend to shed my fancy title and indulgent paycheck to join them as a novice monk -one should never lose the beginner’s mind.  In the meantime I doodle on piece of paper pretending to work lest the nuns see me and accuse me of laziness.</p>\n<p>The day passes quickly except for an agonizing lesson period spent in the confessional (conversation lounge) where I am peppered with questions about my origin and formative years before joining the temple.  At least when reciting the sutras I can avoid thoughtless questions, but in the Q&A session I am forced to make the laypeople contemplate their interpretation of existence with a series of Koans (Zen riddles) in answer to their inquiries. “Where’s your favorite place in Japan?”  - “My apartment!”  “What brought you to Japan?” -  “A plane.”  “Can you eat Japanese sushi?” -  “I have teeth.”  They are perplexed, but it is my role to awaken their minds, not to feed their hunger for facile answers.  </p>\n<p>Finally the last gong rings and the day is done.  The monks quickly bow (clock) out of the temple as I check the next day’s scroll.  It looks all right.  I bid the nuns farewell – they work late into the night.  I join the novice monks outside the temple and we all proceed to the izakaya.</p>\n<p>If school is our temple, then think of the izakaya as our rock garden.  We recite the sutras because we must, but in the rock garden our creativity really comes through.  In the izakaya we sit around a low table with foot wells underneath.  The waitresses bring us our… tea; yes that’s it, tea.  We turn on the Karaoke machine and, like the good monks we are, belt out a tune.  Some may find this outlet of emotion in opposition with our practice of calm, inner peace, but I feel that we have all earned the right to several cups of tea and a hearty song after a long days teaching – we are human after all (though the looks we get from some of the other patrons might disabuse one of this notion).  </p>\n<p>And so, after several cups of tea too many, I board the last train and return home.  The phone is ringing.  It’s my girlfriend in Thailand reprimanding me for my late night out – again. Like a Master with a stick whacking his pupil on the shoulders for sloppy meditation, so I am whacked by her tongue.  “Why you stay out so late?” “You go with lady?” “Karaoke in Thailand only for man looking lady, na?”  I prostrate myself symbolically before her with profuse apologies thanking her for teaching me the lesson of humility that I may not be bound by ego. I am reminded that as I pass through the universe and this journey we call life it is inevitable that I leave ripples in my wake.  We are all bound by Karma and to exist is to create it.  So I bid her farewell for the night and lay down to dreams of the Pure Land where all monks are brothers united in sincere practice and a diet of sticky rice and water.  See you soon, brothers.</p>','','2004-10-01 02:15:06',1,'2004-10-01 02:15:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(140,7,'Pissing on the tracks','pissing-on-the-tracks','The ups and downs of life in Japan','Hordes of middle-aged housewives roam department stores on the weekdays sniffing out bargains on anything and everything.

You see, shopping is the national pastime, er hobby.','<p>I am often asked what my first impression of Japan was.  I cannot say that I clearly remember, so much being modified by the passage of time.  I can, however, say that the one impression that I had of Japan that was truly erroneous was that of the wise old Japanese man, the Zen-like, silver haired gentleman who went about his affairs with a sense of higher purpose unknown in the West.  I had viewed the different genres of Japanese film and whether it be the stone faced business tycoon or the nerves-of-steel martial arts sensei, all had a great reverence in their behavior that imbued me with respect for their age and wisdom.  Sadly, that impression was done away with the first time I witnessed the urinary behavior of a certain old man that couldn’t quite resist the urge to have a ‘slag’, as the British say, from the platform of the train tracks at my local station.  From that day forth my image of the stately, elderly Japanese man has transformed into an image of an intoxicated buffoon whose best gag is to utter ‘OK’ in the presence of a foreigner in ordered to exhibit his command of the English language – well, at least he’s not pissing on my pant leg.</p>\n<p>The word Oyaji in Japanese might be rendered by the English word ‘geezer’ except that it finds its way into everyday speech much more commonly than its English counterpart.  Perhaps this is a reflection of day to day reality in a country whose population is so rapidly aging that they predict the year 2050 will see one million centenarians.  An oyaji has many identifiable features; sake-stinking breath, a disregard for anyone around him, a penchant for hacking up phlegm (and almost as often spitting it at his first convenience - in the middle of your path, undoubtedly), a gravely, emphysema induced growl for a voice, and most of all a love for the drink.  I imagine that for every Aikido master that spent his formative years learning the art of self-discipline and violent agility, there are a thousand Japanese men who spent their evenings in the izakaya refining their vulgarities and enriching beer brewers.  The worst of it would be a trifle if they remained at the izakaya , but there reaches a point in every evening when the oyaji must make his way home and often he finds himself hopelessly trashed on the last train where he does one of the following: a) urinates in between the cars b) vomits between the cars c) urinates on the tracks d) vomits on the tracks e) in a sad, but true case, falls into the tracks and is run over by an oncoming train along with two would-be rescuers who, all three, perish.  So, as you can see, the oyaji is a sanitary, safety, and social hazard.    </p>\n<p>What gave birth to such a crude creature?  In most countries it is the youth who run wild.  Why is it that public enemy number one in Japan looks like your grandfather?  I have a theory by which there is an inverse relationship between the rising price of golf course memberships and the consumption of sake by Japanese men over fifty.  Stateside our seniors are kept out of trouble by pursuing a small white ball over great distances of terrain rendering them too tired at the end of the day to find their to the local public house.  Unfortunately, Japanese seniors are left unoccupied for the better part of their day and with increase in ‘early retirement’, read obligatory retirement, the only amusement they can find is the pachinko parlor or the bar.  If you lose at Pachinko you will want to drown your sorrows with a drink and if you win, then you will want to celebrate your good fortune with a drink.  In either case you’re drunk.  To further complicate matters, we know that elderly people often suffer from bladder issues, to state things lightly.  It is not too much of a cognitive jump to figure out why peeing against walls, down drainage ditches,  off platforms and into train tracks has become something of a national pastime for the oyaji. </p>\n<p>There are, of course, other manifestations of drunkenness we can observe from our friend.  He is known to practice a mean golf swing on the train with an umbrella in place of a club (I am always amused when his glances up as if to follow the flight path of the imaginary shot – I wonder if he is seeing two balls?)  I already eluded to his profiency in foreign language.  “Hallo. How al you? Fine tank you!”  At which point it is strikingly obvious who is ‘tanked’.  Occasionally he shows off his dance prowess with a two-step jig that is also know in some countries as stumbling drunk. </p>\n<p>His ability for throat clearing might find him a mate on the plains of the Serengeti.  Alas, I have probably overlooked some of his other talents, but our hero needs not me to sing his praises.  He sings them on nightly basis.  He will be playing soon at a train station near you.  If you’re quiet, you might be able to hear him now.  Just don’t get too close; he likes to mark his territory.</p>\n<p><b>Going to shopping (or The National Hobby)</b></p>\n<p> The two most prominent mistakes, or errors for the academic – because you must first have knowledge of something to make a mistake, made by Japanese students of English are the phrase going to shopping, which is simply caused by inserting a superfluous preposition,  and the use of the word hobby, as in What are your hobbies?,  where the word interests or another phrase, such as What do you do in your spare time?  would be more natural.  These errors are somewhat revealing.  One is a grammatical inaccuracy, while the other is a matter of natural phraseology – both areas of difficulty for Japanese learners of English, but I digress.  The irony is that these two frequent errors are often spoken in the same breath.  “My hobby is going to shopping.”  Linguistic problems aside, this seems to summarize the behavior of Japanese people when they aren’t at work.  That is to say, they go to  shopping.  Wherever that  is.  Going to shopping is truly the national pastime, I mean hobby.<br />\nActually, I have taken some liberty with the reader and led him/ her to believe that I am ignorant of the whereabouts of Shopping.  In fact, I have been there.  Of course, like most newly arrived in Japan, I spent a fair amount of time speculating on the location of this mythical place called Shopping that I was always hearing about.  “I went to shopping yesterday.”  “We’re going to shopping after class.”  They all seemed to know where it was, but I was in the dark.  I figured that Shopping was a katakana derived name for a mega-shopping-complex that the locals all frequented.  Imagine my disappointment when a less green resident put my on to the fact that the students were simply making a translation mistake.  Kaimono ni iku.  Kaimono means ‘shopping’, ni means ‘to’ and iku means ‘go’.  The mystery unraveled as did my hopes of discovering the fabled consumer Eldorado.  This said, with the blindfold removed I was able to appreciate the true nature of Japanese shopping for it existed all around me.  There was nowhere I could venture where the signs of this activity were not prevalent.  Be it Department Stores, Outlets, Supermarkets or even the local Convenience store, I soon realized that going to shopping was omnipresent.  It was a satori-like experience.  The world as I saw it before was but an illusion and as if a membrane was removed from my third eye I awakened in a consumer paradise that far exceeded my whimsical expectations of a mere mega-shopping-complex that existed somewhere.  It existed everywhere.</p>\n<p>The Japanese are voracious shoppers.  They do shopping like Americans do burgers – in a frenzied state of excitement.  I sometimes find myself completely ignored in a shopping environment.  Surely someone should be staring at me.  But when there is shopping to be done even Gaijins must be disregarded lest the last 500yen blouse/shirt/hat/freeze-dried pack of natto be missed out on.  Hordes of middle-aged housewives roam department stores on the weekdays sniffing out bargains on anything and everything.  The only variance on their routine is that the weekend sees the husband and children in tow.  You see, shopping is the national pastime, er hobby.</p>\n<p>Some say that the Japanese are Shinto when they are married and Buddhist when they die.  The marriage ceremony in Japan is often Shinto (although this is rapidly changing toward a more Western style) and funerals are Buddhist.  Otherwise, most Japanese have little day to day religion, or so it is thought.  In my mind, the Japanese are Shinto when they marry, Buddhist when they die,  and shoppers at all other times.  So, I am raising the bar.  Shopping is not the national hobby; it’s the national religion.  Like all religions, there must be a deity/deities, a temple of worship and offerings to be made - enter the depato, Hello Kitty™, and the ichiman (10,000) yen note.  The depato is actually Japanese for department store and one of these divine halls can be found immediately proximate to any self-respecting train station in Japan.  A depato is made up of numerous clothing shops and cosmetics stands with typically a supa (supermarket – you’re catching on) in the basement.  For those who reside under rocks, Hello Kitty™ is a nauseatingly cute cartoon character that adorns a host of nauseatingly trivial items that can be purchased for the purpose of gaining merit with the shopping gods.  To make such purchases, you will need at least an ichiman yen note because there is very little you can buy in this country for less than that sum.  That withstanding, even the less fortunate can partake in the national religion (the clergy would never forget the masses) at the local one hundred yen shop, the US equivalent of ‘Everything-for-a-dollar’ stores.  100yen shops are found in all but the most posh depatos and offer the little guy his place in the sun even if he can’t spare ichiman yen (though don’t think there’s too much Hello Kitty™ to be had for 100yen).</p>\n<p>I am a bit too harsh, a bit too sarcastic.  I understand the need of the Japanese to shop.  It is, after all, a consumer society.  Food and sundries must be had to live.  Furthermore, in such a populace society it is hard to find a place where one can stroll around protected from the elements, not too mention noise and air pollution.  I certainly prefer the relatively breathable and acclimatized air of the depato to that of my neighborhood.  If you live in the Kanto area, you will have to drive for hours, probably in traffic, to arrive at any area of natural value, so a trip to the depato might be more economical and even environmental (there’s usually plenty of bicycle parking).  Really, I shouldn’t be too harsh on the Japanese about their shopping addiction.  In fact, I don’t have much on the agenda this afternoon; maybe I’ll go to shopping myself.  Now where was it again?</p>\n<p><b>Natto ( or Why I Am Still Here)</b></p>\n<p>When meeting an individual that is not from Japan it is the duty of any patriotic Japanese person to ask of said individual whether or not they like natto.  Natto is some bean-like thing that is enveloped in a gooey film; imagine the dung of a small rodent if you will.  The smell is off-putting and in the animal kingdom a species typically will not try to ingest something that smells unpleasant - call this a defense mechanism, I think it is quite sensible.  Somehow or other, someone, at some point in the history of Japanese culinary development put their survival at stake and risked poisoning to confirm that natto tasted bad.  How then is it that natto became a mainstay of the breakfast meal for many Japanese?  I leave this question to someone more diligent in background research than I am.   It suffices to say that natto is an unpleasant, yet edible bean that a nation full of people pride themselves on being able to stomach.  Which leads me full circle to where I started.  A Japanese person will invariably ask, at first opportunity,  someone of different nationality if they ‘can eat’ natto. (If the question is in English I always respond ‘yes, I have a mouth’ and play upon the translation error that has been made).  Essentially, the questioner wants to know if I like the mean bean – and I don’t.  Now, I could write off the question to cultural curiosity, but what fun would that be?  Instead, I have developed an entire thesis around why Japanese people consistently put forth the question, which will eventually lead me to explain why I have spent so much time being asked the question.</p>\n<p>It is well known to any student of Japan that the Japanese consider themselves to be quite unique.  They often will go to great lengths to point out just how unique they are.  I am also unique; I have a birthmark on my left hand.  Anyway, the old ‘Do you like natto?’ routine is further proof of this (that the Japanese think themselves unique  and not that I have a birthmark on my left hand).  It goes like this.  The general Japanese populace has discovered that natto is unpopular with foreigners.  This should really come as no surprise because I am sure that many Japanese people persist in  eating the acrid stuff out of national pride.  In any case, alerted to the fact that foreigners don’t like natto, the Japanese see a great chance to score a double victory.  By liking, or claiming to like, natto they assert their uniqueness, “You see, we Japanese are truly different!” and they gain points for being tough, as in “Wow, how can you eat that!?”  We all remember the kid in elementary school who would eat anything on a dare in a pathetic bid for popularity, or at least notoriety.  “Hey guys, how much will you give me if I eat this beetle?”  So, there we have it, the Japanese have scored twice in one-fell-swoop and this within only our first meeting.</p>\n<p>From now on let the one-up’s manship continue.  Today it is natto tomorrow it is the unique Japanese summer with its humidity (only the Japanese air becomes damp) and then on to the Japanese four seasons (as opposed to the one or two enjoyed by the rest of the world).  So, you now understand that asking whether or not someone from abroad likes natto is a clever plan on the part of our Japanese hosts to keep us locked in a brainwashed state of submission to their uniqueness.  </p>\n<p>Wherever there is deceit and cunning I will make my presence felt.  Like a fraternity member who fills his brothers cups from the keg first, I must make a stand and defend my fellow gaijins.  To this end, I have stymied the Japanese and their natto scheme for years by following this simple, but brilliant scheme.  I lie.  I lie like a prizefighter at the end of his career in gambling debt to the mafia.  I lie like a whale committing suicide on the shores of some cape.  I lie like the ill-conceived bridge that connects Chiba to Kanagawa and cost millions of yen and that no one uses so that they charge a toll fee equivalent to one months salary of a sushi chef, which further makes the bridge unpopular.  I lie and tell every last person who cares to ask that I, a foreigner in Japan, like natto.  In that instant I perceive a certain defeat in the eyes of my interlocutor, away washes the humidity of the summer, away washes the four seasons and I am triumphant for a brief moment… and then I am asked,  “So, can you use chopsticks?”  The fight goes on.  And that is why I have been in Japan so long.</p>\n<p><b>Safety Japan (or The Kindergarten Society</b><br />\nThe whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)</p>\n<p>I would not be surprised to discover that the famous US editor, H.L. Mencken had spent some time in Japan.  Certainly, if he hadn’t, he would have found ample evidence of his above assertion.  Several years back there was a public safety campaign aimed at drivers.  The catch phrase was Safety Driver , as in “I’m a safety driver”.  This slogan evidently adorned bumper stickers. Unfortunately the campaign had ended before I arrived in Japan.  I say unfortunately because I enjoy Engrish as much as anyone.  The remnants of the campaign nonetheless can be heard frequently in the speech of my students who believe the word ‘safety’ is an adjective.  In a discussion I had with a student when I first arrived in country I specifically remember him telling me, “Welcome to Safety Japan”.  I was forced to wonder if there existed in some parallel universe a Dangerously Japan, but my thoughts were cut short as I was given a rundown on the various features of Safety Japan, none of which I can accurately recall.  </p>\n<p>Part of my loathing of Safety Japan is that the whole notion is not based on the fact that Japanese people are necessarily safer than other nationalities, – What is safety after all? Crime rates slightly lower, cancer rates slightly higher, where’s the gain?- rather the idea of Safety Japan is based around the preconception that other places are more dangerouser, I mean more dangerous.  Certainly Japan rates statistically well relative to other countries when talking about violent crime, but one could find striking disparities within a nation from one area to the next.  There are certainly parts of Tokyo that I would not care to venture after dark.  Not that I have ever felt threatened in Japan, but then again, I never felt threatened in my small New Hampshire hometown.  Regardless of what would be obvious to most travelers – that safety has more to do with being in a particular place than a being within a national boundary – for many Japanese the rest of the world is dangerous in varying degrees.  For instance, everywhere in America is dangerous, but Canada is devoid of danger.  Australia isn’t dangerous because there are many Japanese tourists.  Same goes for Hawaii, which means Oahu and more specifically Waikiki for the Japanese traveler.  While we are on the subject of Hawaii it should be noted that Hawaii is a good place for Japanese people because many Hawaiians (i.e. second or third generation Japanese) can speak Japanese, or at least so I have been told by my students who are all paying me fistfuls of cash to speak English.  Is anyone confused?  </p>\n<p>So the world is a dangerous place.  And who is profiting from this?  To the best I can tell it is the Japanese travel agencies in cahoots with Japanese owned overseas tourist ventures; hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, even hostess bars (I meet a hostess who had worked for years in Australia and never spoke English there).  The package tour is Japan’s answer to the American RV motor home.  Mostly frequented by retirees, these package tours offer airfare, hotel, tour guide, meals and every assurance that no tour member will have to come into contact with the indigenous population – phew!  Usually the package tours are grossly overpriced.  However, if you are looking for upscale accommodations, there are deals to be had.  Several non-Japanese friends of mine have used the tours and the insight they gained was remarkable.  At certain points in the tour they were herded into souvenir shops and told that ‘these are the best prices you’ll find”.  Of course there was no comparison shopping,  stop at one store for Hawaiian shirts, stop at another for Macadamia nuts.  My friends, not fearing the locals, went out on their own and found that, shockingly, the stores connected with the tour were not necessarily giving the best deals.  To believe that such chicanery exists in the Japanese travel industry makes me question the fundamental notion of Safety Japan.  I, for one, am outraged.  Well, not really.  People pay for their ignorance and ignorance exists to be profited from.  </p>\n<p>It is not only the world outside of Japan that is dangerous.  Japan itself can be a dangerous place.  I have to believe this is the case,  why else would I see the plethora of warning signs and hear an incessant cacophony of announcements that contain words like be careful, dangerous, watch out.  I am constantly reminded that I must step off the escalator or that I should stand away from the train tracks.  I hear that running to board the train is “very dangerous” and I shouldn’t do it.  No matter where I go I am told to watch my step.  I wonder at how many times I was pulled back from the brink of discovering my own mortality by one of the above-mentioned signs.  Doubtlessly I have escaped sever maiming due to an altruistic announcement made in a train, bus or department store.  To think that in some places such preventative measures are not taken makes me truly feel happy to be in Safety Japan.  Some signs that I see are not necessarily for my safety, but they benefit myself and others anyway.  Take the sign that reminds me to flush the toilet, it’s really helpful.  Then there’s the female voice at the department store that says “Thank you for your coming”.  I always check my fly after that one before realizing that it’s only Engrish for “Thank you for shopping with us”.</p>\n<p>The sum total of Safety Japan is that it is a place where everyone can be happy and avoid unpleasant experiences that may happen elsewhere (unless you consider being pushed into a packed train and then commuting for two hours an unpleasant experience).  I feel that I should give something back to this society for having harbored me in its protective womb for so long.  I would like to propose that there be a sign or announcement, if not both, at Narita airport somewhere in the international departures area, perhaps in the immigration lobby or at the metal detectors, that states in several languages the following, “You are now leaving Safety Japan.  Please do so at your own risk and be careful!  Have a nice trip”.  You never know who might accidentally exit the country without meaning to.</p>\n<p><b>Hidden Gorge(or A Day Out With A Thousand Of Your Closest Friends)</b></p>\n<p>Several summers ago I was invited to go on a road trip to the countryside.  The proposition was an attractive one as my routine rarely took me too far off the railroad track, never mind the beaten track.  My friend had that rare commodity for an English teacher in Japan – a car – which meant freedom from the drudgery of public transportation, so I didn’t hesitate to accept his offer.  Evidently he knew of an area where he had done some fishing that would make for a nice barbecue and beer venue.  I was more disposed to the beer than the barbie myself.  In any case, that Saturday came and the weather was great.  We all piled in the car and headed out for a bit of R&R, a day away, a communion with nature, fun in the sun – enough already.</p>\n<p>When I was in High School there was this great little swimming hole that we used to go to when the weather warmed up in late May or early June.  It was called Troll Bridge Road because it was located off Troll Bridge Road; I don’t claim we were particularly clever with our topographical nomenclature.  To get to the swimming hole you would park your car in what was a dead end road leading into a field.  Then,  you would hike a quarter of mile across the field, duck into the woods, follow a path several hundred feet and you were there.  It was a magical place.  I don’t mean in a JR Tolken sort-of-way with hobgoblins and fiendish elves (or trolls, a bridge or even much of a road), rather it was quite beautiful and secluded.  There was a river that had formed a pool where the water backed up due to a natural half-dam.  The pool was deep enough to swim, even dive in, yet the flow of the river kept the water cool and prevented stagnation.  On the far bank a rocked leaned over the pool and someone possessing as much daring as they lacked sense had fixed a rope swing to a tree limb that overhung the water.  A fair number of people knew of the place and you could expect to find a few kids skipping class out there on any given afternoon.  Despite its popularity, you had a feeling of solitude, or at least intimacy when you went there.  I mention Troll Bridge Road because it immediately jumped to mind when my friend started to describe the river area where were headed while in the car.</p>\n<p>As we drove away from the urban sprawl of the greater Tokyo area, I had a sense of elation and realized that I had only been out in rural Japan on one previous occasion when I traveled to Gunma by car.  We exited the highway and weaved through a series of back roads, one becoming less trafficked than the next until we found ourselves in the forest.  Imagine, a forest in Japan.  I was taken aback.  We even had to  stop and ask for directions from a local farmer’s wife whose surprise at being asked for directions in that neck of the woods was easily doubled upon spotting the white people sitting in the back of the car.  We eventually came to a spot in the road where there was a small dirt parking lot that might accommodate three small cars if the occupants didn’t mind exiting through the sun roof.  The parking area sat on the top of the river gorge, thought the view was obscured by heavy forestation.  We had to walk down the road several hundred meters before veering down a treacherous footpath that was fairly well-disguised.  After an ankle twisting descent through the trees we emerged onto the river.  What I intend with the description is this – the place was damn hard to find!  Damn hard to find is a good thing when living in one of the most densely populated countries in the world.  Damn hard to find means escape from the constant brushing up against others, scooting aside, shifting in the aisle to let-someone-byism that is life in Japan.  Ah, the open air, I was refreshed and relieved, if not somewhat disappointed to find that the river was more a riverbed due to the lack of water and that the riverbed was more a concrete bed due to the, well, uh – concrete.  Nonetheless, we had achieved relative isolation.  We dropped our coolers, popped open our sun chairs (the concrete proved a stable surface, at least) and prepared to relax.  We even cracked a beer in celebration though it was not yet noon.</p>\n<p>And then it happened.  I can’t remember a precise time, but I had already finished one  Asahi beer, which added a surreal quality to the spectacle.  It was most likely just before noon.  The salary man must have risen a bit late after a hard Friday night’s drinking.  The wife had probably already prepared the bento boxes the night before.  I imagine the kids were only waiting for Dad to hop in the driver’s seat and captain the adventure, so that by the time he did get up and into the car they probably had drank enough green tea to drive them and their little bladders into a frenzy, which meant at least one stop at the konbini (convenience store for the layman).  So, by the time they arrived and parked – god knows where – the wiley English teachers had already cracked open their first beer and kicked back to relax, but not for long. </p>\n<p>The flow of people was like some sort of dike breaking.  It started with a trickle of people bobbing down the trail and emerging onto our riverbed.  And then, it increased to a steady stream of Papas and Mamas and little Takahirokuns and Emichans all rambling down the path and setting up shop.  They seemed to be coming in waves after a certain point – probably my third Asahi because now I really started to drink.  The whole thing became fantastic.  They were coming from all directions, walking out of the woods, appearing forth from small caves, emerging out of the stream itself.  Dozens, hundreds, could there possibly be thousands?  Was I really in Shinjuku?  JR Tolken-like, trees transformed into tots, the shrubs became salarymen, water fountained up into human form unfolded a beach chair, said ‘sumimasen’ and sat down beside me – arrrggggggghhhhhhhh. </p>\n<p>I had been an utter fool to think that I could escape the masses so easily.  I was so shortsighted that I never took into account the fact that many Japanese people, like my friend, own automobiles for the express use of ‘getting out’ on the weekend.  Perhaps, it was the long drive or the seeming obscurity of our chosen spot, but somehow I had naively believed that I had found somewhere in Japan where the people weren’t.  I saddened slightly and brushed past a few strangers while excusing myself on the way to our cooler for another beer.  I was going to get drunk, if nothing else.  My problems took a more serious turn when the urge to urinate took me.  As the day wore on I found myself hiking further and further into the woods to relieve myself - this despite the fact that the average Japanese taxi driver or Oyaji, they are often one in the same, drains his waste on your flowerbed at high noon.  </p>\n<p>And so I gloomily drank and wished I was in an izakaya where I wouldn’t have to get my own drinks or walk so far for the toilet.  As the sun set I waited in line to hike back up the trail, get in the car, wait in traffic, eventually arrive home to my chicken coop of an apartment to resume life in the most densely populated region of one of the most densely populated countries in the world, all the while haunted by memories of elves, hobgoblins and a place called Troll Bridge Road.</p>\n<p>Hashi joozu!*(or The Pleasure Of An Opposable Thumb) *You use chopsticks well </p>\n<p>“The chopstick is multipurpose; it serves the Japanese as fork, knife and spoon. They eat soup with it they cut food into small morsels with it; and they use it to pick up food and carry it from the plate to the mouth. You can do it, too.”</p>\n<p>-unknown (as found on an internet guide to “Things Japanese”)</p>\n<p> - “Can I really!?”</p>\n<p>-me (upon reading above quote)  </p>\n<p> If I had a yen for every time a Japanese person complimented my chopstick use, I would be able to open a performing arts theater at which I would charge admission to the viewing public to watch me manipulate food items into my mouth with the damn things.  I would then bring out a troupe of well trained primates and have them use chopsticks for the pleasure of my audience.  I envision several gibbons, a couple of baboons and a chimp all dressed in kimonos.  And I would stand in the center wearing my jinbei (think Japanese robe with knickers) surrounded by my monkey friends and after much applause we would hold hands and bow in unison.  But alas, this will remain only a dream for, although I am often paid compliments on my chopstick dexterity, I have yet to be paid in money.</p>\n<p>It is beyond me why anyone who has used chopsticks would think it a feat of small motor skills to eat with them.  Granted chopsticks can prove awkward to the novice user, though even the novice should be able to shovel food from ‘the plate to the mouth’ as expressed by the anonymous, semicolon-loving author of the above quote.  After several days of applied practice all but the most clumsy should be able to keep their clothing stain free while using chopsticks.  I dare say that one could outright master the use of hashi, as they are called in Japanese, within the space of a mere week.  I don’t intend insult my Japanese hosts  in making such a bold claim; surely they all struggled long and hard to master the tricky utensils, but perhaps they should be reminded that the foreigner struggles to master fork and knife when he or she was three years old as well.  Approaching adolescence with one’s hand-eye coordination at full development it should not be considered especially challenging to hold two small pieces of wood in one’s fingers.  Writing, sewing, tying shoes, walking and chewing gum at the same time may all be thought of as human accomplishments on a par with the use of chopsticks.  So, for those who would be prone to undue flattery, please compliment me on my ability to knot my tie or on the ease with which I teach irregular verbs and decide where to drink beer after work at the same time, but not on my use of the cursed hashi ! Thank you.  </p>\n<p>Among other annoyance that I have encountered on the subject of chopsticks is that of waribashi.  These are disposable, wooden chopsticks that keep whole lumber companies in business and leave whole swaths of forest razed.  I fear researching the true extent to which these wasteful little things are responsible for environmental destruction (let’s not lie, I’m just too lazy).  Imagine a world in which metal forks and knives only existed in homes and every restaurant, eatery, store and shop that served food distributed disposable, wooden utensils instead, and you pretty much have Japan.  In addition to being horribly wasteful, I often have little choice in whether I want them inserted in my shopping bag or not.  For instance, I have frequented the same convenience store for several years.  As I don’t cook, I venture into the establishment once a day, if not more.  In the course of my time spent in the store I have made friends of the clerks.  However, for every time I politely ask them not to deposit the little timber-killers in my bag, they sneak them in three times without me noticing.  I can’t quite figure it.  They know I live nearby.  It’s not like I’m a construction worker on lunch who’s going to picnic in front of the job site.  Do they think I don’t have access to chopsticks in my apartment?  Like I wouldn’t be able to purchase a pair anywhere in Japan.  My mom pulled the same thing nonetheless on my first Christmas home after moving to Japan.  Unbelievably, she put a pair of chopsticks in my Christmas stocking (yes, I still get a stocking. Stop chuckling!).  They came in their own wicker carrying case.  If my mother were as sarcastic as I, the joke would have been a good one.  My mom was completely on the level, though.  Of course, I have abused her on the subject ever since and I promise this is the last time, so here goes:  Mom!  What the hell were you thinking?  I live in a country where chopsticks outnumber people at a ratio of a thousand to one.  Why would I want to come back to America and get a pair of them in my stocking!?</p>\n<p>Not only are waribashi a terrible environmental idea, when you do need them they are always substandard.  There are several classes of waribashi: The ones that are attached at the top in a block shape – they’re the best, they always break apart clean.  The ones that are attached lengthwise, but are long and often come with a toothpick – because there was an acre of woods still standing after the chopstick quota was reached.  The ones that are sized for a preschooler and double as a toothpick – because the eatery you’re at is exceptionally cheap, not because they care about the forest.  The first, and best, category is reserved to izakayas and other restaurants where washable, reusable chopsticks would be a feasible alternative.  The second, and second best, category of chopsticks is usually found at stores in close proximity to your domicile, thereby rendering them unnecessary.  The third category, which should be reserved to day care facilities and orphanages, will most likely be found anyplace where you would actually need to use waribashi.  Oh well, shiyou ga nai (let’s ignore the problem).  That’s life.  </p>\n<p>The lesson to be learned about chopsticks is this -  if we continue to produce disposable, wooden chopsticks at such a rate, we will soon deplete the earth of precious woodlands.  Among the negative effects of lost forests, species such as the gibbon, baboon and chimpanzee will decrease in number, nearing extinction.  Should this come pass, the only place you would see such wondrous primates is at zoos and amusement parks where they will display their virtuosity with the tool of their very destruction…along side a jinbei clad gaijin who rants like a howler monkey.</p>','','2004-09-01 02:46:06',1,'2004-09-01 02:46:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(141,8,'Goodbye Thailand','goodbye-thailand','It\'s definitely time to leave','So the question remains why? Why leave Thailand, the Land of Smiles, the best country in the world if Thais are to be believed? The short answer is that I didn\'t have enough reasons to stay. ','<p>I’ll get straight to the point of this month’s column: I have given up my job and left the Land of Smiles. I already hinted in my January column that 2008 might be my last year in Thailand, so it’s not a big surprise for most people who know me. The questions I get asked most are: \'Why?\', \'What are you going to do?\', \'Where are you going?\' and \'Are you going back home?\' </p>\n<p>I\'ll answer these questions in reverse order as the last ones are the easiest. Am I going back home? What a silly question; I go home every day. Actually, Thailand has been my home for more than four years. Of course, most people use the word home to refer to one\'s country of origin or birth. Anyway, I\'m not planning to turn back the clock and pick up one of my former lives.</p>\n<p>So where am I going then? I don\'t know yet. I could have looked for a new job before quitting my old one, but I wanted a temporary break from work so I could have some time to relax and travel. By the way, I know that starting all over without planning too much in advance can be a refreshing experience; I’ve done it before. Also, I hope I\'ll be thoroughly rested and brimming with new ideas after a prolonged stay in the Land of a Million Elephants, probably followed by a tour of some other South-East Asian countries. Although I liked my job, I always thought that I didn\'t have enough time off to enjoy life and get away from it all. </p>\n<p>What am I going to do? This question is relatively simple. Unless I get offered a really well-paid job out of the blue, I\'ll more than likely find a new EFL job, probably somewhere in Asia. Teaching is what I apparently do well and it\'s also what I\'ve been doing for the last twelve years. Many countries need qualified teachers, so finding a new job shouldn\'t be that difficult. </p>\n<p>So the question remains why? Why leave Thailand, the Land of Smiles, the best country in the world if Thais are to be believed? The short answer is that I didn\'t have enough reasons to stay. </p>\n<p>Those who have been reading my column regularly will know that I acknowledge and welcome different cultures. When teaching, I don\'t want to radically change local students\' cultural values or ideas as I am convinced that English should be taught as a world language, not misused as a colonial tool to shove British or western values down someone\'s throat like it was sometimes done in the past. On the other hand, I don\'t think every cultural reference should be banned from a language course, as it can broaden students\' horizons and help them develop their critical thinking skills and personal world view. </p>\n<p>I have to admit that I was getting a bit bored with both my job and my host country, so simply finding another workplace wouldn\'t have solved my problem. I made a list of positives and negatives, and – surprise - the former list turned out to be the shorter one. The plus list told me that I mainly appreciate Thailand because of the climate (hot all year round), the food (one of the best cuisines in the world), the travel and sightseeing opportunities and the low cost of living. </p>\n<p>This \'what-I-like-about-Thailand’ list is a very personal list, and although many foreigners in the Kingdom might have one, the contents probably vary. Although quite a few long-term residents or repeat visitors might add other positives such as the abundance of teaching jobs and the wide availability of cheap prostitutes to it, I would rather put them on the negatives list as they often attract unskilled would-be teachers to the Kingdom for the wrong reasons.</p>\n<p>My \'pet peeve\' list on the other hand started to get too long, although after some reflection, I came to the conclusion that many items were quite trivial. As already stated, I respect other cultures and when living in a foreign land, I\'ll try to live my life as similar as possible to locals. I\'ll eat their food, use their means of transport, adapt my teaching style if needed and enjoy local markets and travel opportunities. However, when local culture clashes with my personal beliefs and values, I\'ll still respect the former but I won\'t necessarily give up the latter.</p>\n<p>Here are some entries which figured on the \'what-I-don’t-like-about-Thailand’ list. By the way, I think that after being away from Thailand for a while, I might change my mind about some of the items and realise I was exaggerating. </p>\n<p> Although Thailand has many breathtaking places to offer, Bangkok and its suburbs – where most jobs can be found - are just one big, ugly, noisy, polluted mess.<br />\n The majority of Thai students are rather uninterested, unimaginative and lazy. Instead of soaking up knowledge as a sponge, they usually need to be force-fed.<br />\n Appearance is more important than substance. Good-looking (white) teachers will always be in high demand, even if they have never taught and think a gerund is a tropical disease.<br />\n Any form of criticism in Thailand is taboo, even positive criticism. People prefer undergoing bad practices instead of wanting to change them, as this might cause loss of face for the one who implemented them. Actually, causing loss of face is probably considered worse than committing murder. Lots of people have been murdered because of petty insults.<br />\n Dual pricing and ongoing tourist scams ensure that foreigners will often leave Thailand with mixed feelings.<br />\n No-fail policy in all schools ensures that enough teenage morons graduate to fill universities. Many university graduates (esp. from private universities) would probably fail western high school exams.<br />\n Foreigners cannot own a business, land or a house (condo only). Buying a car or motorbike is possible but not straightforward; red tape and corruption are prevalent; banking is anything but foreigner-friendly; consumer service is virtually non-existent.<br />\n Traffic is dangerous. Most motorists think speeding, tailgating, weaving through traffic, using a mobile phone and drink driving are no big deal, despite the abhorrent death toll on Thai roads. There is a complete disrespect by motorists for pedestrians and cyclists.</p>\n<p>Some of my concerns might seem petty and also exist in lots of other countries, so they’ll erode over time. I don\'t think I\'ve been much of a moaner during all the time I\'ve been in Thailand, partly because I feel that endless complaining doesn\'t solve any problems. </p>\n<p>As a final thought, I really enjoy the teaching profession and have always done my best to further my students\' English skills. However, being employed by a language school where many young students study at the weekend, I feel that Thai youths are somewhat being denied their childhood. For many of them, life is a continuous learning nightmare as they are being dragged from one tutoring school to another. Few seem to realise that all this tutoring wouldn\'t be necessary if youngsters were given an adequate education from Monday to Friday. Unfortunately, unless parents can shell out big bucks for top international schools, this a pipe dream as the Thai education systems remains in tatters with oversized classrooms, inadequate and apathetic teachers, lack of decent materials, a no-fail policy and an everything-needs-to-be-fun attitude completely undermining effective learning. Unless the whole education system is fundamentally revamped, the future of Thailand looks gloomy. But hey, who cares as long as we’re all having ‘sanuk’ (fun)?</p>\n<p>After rereading this column, I felt it was too negative. I trimmed down the negatives list and decided to go ahead with it anyway as most – if not all – of my previous columns were by far and large positive. Thai censors would probably want to take it off-line or censor it if they could find it and understand it. Thailand is a wonderful country but I doubt it’s the best in the world; I surely wouldn’t want to be stuck here for the rest of my life. I’ve been to quite a few countries, but there are still countless places out there waiting to be discovered. Because of my thirst for change and with life being so short, I feel there is no time to waste.</p>','','2008-08-31 19:20:49',1,'2008-08-31 19:20:49','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(142,8,'Bangkok getaways - Lopburi','bangkok-getaways','This month it\'s Thailand\'s monkey capital','A town located just a few hours from Bangkok that\'s worth definitely worth a visit.

If you can&rsquo;t be bothered to read it or don&rsquo;t have any spare time to get away from the drudgery of daily life, check out my photos at www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland.</p>\n<p>A few months ago I went to a town located just a few hours from Bangkok that\'s worth definitely worth a visit. Lopburi, famous for its ruins and monkeys, lies some 150 kilometres north of the capital and can easily be reached by either bus or train. I opted for the latter mode of transport since I live not far from a train station. Most day trains are 3rd class only, dirt cheap and well-ventilated since they all run with both windows and doors wide open.</p>\n<p>Buses depart frequently around the clock from the Northern bus station, aka Morchit, and take two to three hours. Trains are regular as well and take slightly longer. The advantage of trains is that they take you straight to the centre of old Lopburi, whereas buses go to the bus station in new Lopburi, from where you\'ll need to take another bus or shared taxi to the old town.</p>\n<p>While inter-city buses in Thailand are usually modern and air-conditioned, trains take you back in time, especially when travelling in 3rd class. It seems that the Royal Thai Railways haven\'t invested a penny in rolling stock for the last few decades. Railway carriages are worn-out and their wooden benches become uncomfortable after a few hours. I wouldn\'t recommend them for long-distance trips as they are not only more uncomfortable, but also slower than buses. Buses, on the other hand, do have a worse safety record. You might get a sore derri&egrave;re, but you\'ll never die of starvation on a train, as there is an endless procession of vendors going up and down the aisle selling a myriad food and drinks. The wide range of inexpensive food for sale includes grilled chicken or pork with sticky rice, fresh fruit, peanuts, dumplings, stuffed buns, local sweets and even dried squid; water, iced coffee and tea, fizzy drinks and even beer can quench your thirst.</p>\n<p>Although seeing all the major sights of Lopburi can probably be done in just a day, I preferred to stay overnight in a typical local hotel. The Asia Lopburi Hotel, in the centre of the old town opposite King Narai\'s Palace, might sound expensive but it wasn\'t. Single fan rooms with private bathroom and TV could be had for as little as 250 baht (add another 100 baht for A/C) thus confirming again that travelling in the Kingdom can still be economical.</p>\n<p>Let me remind readers unfamiliar with Thailand that single room in traditional Thai-Chinese hotels usually refers to rooms with one double bed. Double rooms sport two beds, so make sure to ask for the right room if you&rsquo;re travelling as a couple. \'Suits&rsquo; (sic) or \'sweet rooms\' are the mispronounced or misspelt Thai equivalent of suites and only available in luxury hotels. In the local lingo, \'hong tamadaa\' means ordinary room or fan room while \'hong air\' is an air-conditioned room.</p>\n<p>As already mentioned, the main attractions of Lopburi are its ruins, temples and monkeys. All of them are conveniently located within walking distance of each other in the old town. The most interesting sites charge a moderate 30 baht entrance fee (10 baht for locals), so they are within anyone\'s budget. Travellers on a shoestring can limit themselves to the few free ruins or gawk at the good stuff from outside the fence. However, is money is that tight they might just as well start thinking about which body part to sell next.</p>\n<p>In my opinion as ruin and temple lover, the following sites are a must-see when visiting Lopburi: Wat Phra Si Ratana Mahathat (temple ruins on a large area opposite the train station), Phra Narai Ratchaniwet or King Narai\'s Palace (walled compound smack in old city centre) and Prang Sam Yot (Khmer temple ruins, aka the monkeys\' lair, along the railway near the main thoroughfare). Other interesting but less spectacular sites include Chao Phraya Wichayen (ruins of the former residence for foreign ambassadors), San Phra Kan (small contemporary temple where Thais make merit and another monkey hangout) and Wat Nakhon Kosa (temple ruins near the latter, along the railway line).</p>\n<p>If the above names are just gobbledegook to you, just have a look in any travel guide or surf the Internet and you\'ll find tons of useful information as I couldn\'t be bothered with copying what\'s in my Lonely Planet. By the way, travel information is often just meaningless words on paper. To really enjoy the great stuff that\'s out there, you\'ll need to get out of your sofa, put on your walking boots and find out for yourself.</p>\n<p>Basically, what draws tourists to Lopburi is mainly ruins and monkeys. It would be fair to say that the area around Prang Sam Yot is being completely overrun by monkeys. Estimates put the number of these long-tailed macaques at a couple of thousand! Although they are a major tourist magnet, these seemingly cute creatures can get on the nerves of local shopkeepers and vendors alike who use sticks and slingshots to prevent them from stealing their merchandise.</p>\n<p>For many tourists, hand-feeding these seemingly nice animals with fruit and veggies and taking close-up snapshots of the experience is high on their to-do list. However, once the cheeky buggers start jumping on your shoulders, pick your pockets or give you a nasty bite, you\'ll quickly start losing sympathy for them and wish the evil beasts were somewhere in a laboratory undergoing vivisection. Remember that they are wild animals and not miniature humans, so be prepared for a visit to the local hospital and a rabies shot if you get up close and personal.</p>\n<p>In November, there is the annual Monkey Festival during which the monkeys can gorge themselves on a lavish buffet set up around their lair. Don\'t think that is the only time for the poor animals to eat properly. Every day of the year they are given more food than they can possibly eat.</p>\n<p>Many of the Lopburi sites present great photo opportunities. Let me remind you that most great pictures are usually taken either early morning or late afternoon with the sun behind you or, at sunset, directly in front of you. If you\'re a lone traveller, don\'t forget to take a tripod as the pictures will become more entertaining for both yourself and friends or family. If you hate lugging a regular tripod around (like me), get yourself one of those mini-tripods that fit in your pocket. If you\'re not a (semi-)professional photographer, they\'ll do the job without other sightseers staring at you. By the way, when I was in Lopburi, many of the sites I visited were nearly deserted, thus giving me the opportunity to take some memorable pictures. So get off that couch and drag yourself to Lopburi! It\'s much more interesting than sitting in front of the TV all day or sleeping off a hangover. Have fun.</p>\n<p>-----------------</p>\n<p>In a totally unrelated story, the press reported a few months ago that many of their sleeper train carriages were infested with bed bugs. Ten trains were subsequently disinfected and refurbished. I wouldn\'t have included this trivial news item, weren\'t it for the fact that the Thai tourism minister and a so-called expert from a leading university pointed the finger at foreign tourists. According to them, backpackers were responsible for the infestation because (a) they might pick up the bugs when going on a trek and (b) they don\'t like to wash and often go without a bath for days, thus attracting the bugs. This is of course total nonsense and proved yet again that many Thais don\'t have a very high opinion of anyone who isn\'t Thai. Shame on them!</p>\n<p>For more photos of Thailand and the rest of the world, you can visit my photopage on Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland.</p>','','2008-07-31 19:27:26',1,'2008-07-31 19:27:26','2009-04-06 10:10:28'),(143,8,'Ignorance or arrogance?','ignorance-or-arrogance','Students and their lack of proper test preparation','Teachers who have taught TOEFL or IELTS courses can attest that for non-native speakers, doing well on these tests translates into a lot of hard work.

By the way, contrary to what I said in my introductory paragraph, this education doesn’t necessarily need to take place abroad since quite a few Thai universities – both public and private – now offer international programmes in Thailand, open to local and foreign students. The need for candidates to take an English language test remains though.</p>\n<p>Readers who have ever taken either test or teachers who have taught TOEFL or IELTS courses can attest that for non-native speakers, doing well on these tests translates into a lot of hard work.

For more exact information, students should contact the university they want to study at. Although most countries have now implemented the latest version of the TOEFL test, i.e. iBT, it is not unusual for universities to still use the older PBT (Paper-based Test) scores.</p>\n<p>Anyway, this article isn’t about the exact scores needed to gain entrance to university; it’s about Thai students’ preparation – or rather lack thereof – before taking these tests. Readers familiar with Thailand might know that getting the required score on these tests is often a Herculean task for many students, thus the need to start early brushing up their English, planning wisely and making English part of their daily routine. For more tips on how to improve your English, please read some of my earlier columns.</p>\n<p>As taking TOEFL and IELTS test has become commonplace in Thailand for many university entrants and graduates, tutoring schools helping students prepare have mushroomed. Unfortunately, many wannabe (under)graduate students still think preparing for a possibly life-changing English test is something which can be done in a matter of hours, days or weeks, whereas they should rather be thinking of months or even years. </p>\n<p>During the last few weeks, as part of my school’s placement test, I interviewed half a dozen candidates, all expecting to be taught the TOEFL or IELTS nitty-gritty in a few weeks. All but one student scored higher than elementary on the placement test. I have to admit that I was not really surprised. The tragic part was that most were planning to take the test at the earliest the next month and at the latest by the end of the year and all considered doing well extremely important.</p>\n<p>What baffled me most was that all these people, whose English could at best be described as poor and at worst as appalling, had no reservations at all about being able to study in an international programme where the lectures, assignments and even the possible overseas environment would be exclusively English. One woman, who was planning to enrol in an English PhD programme, couldn’t even answer basic conversational questions. She looked at me as if I was speaking Russian (to her, I probably was) and kept asking in Thai if I spoke Thai, which I of course stubbornly refused, as the whole point of the interview is to assess students’ speaking and listening skills. </p>\n<p>I tried to explain to her, with the help of a Thai colleague, that in order to prepare for IELTS, her general level of English needed some improvement first (understatement of the year) before embarking on a much more challenging test preparation course. She pretended to understand yet didn’t sign up for a course, meaning she probably went to another language school willing to let her part with her money and sign up for an IELTS course immediately. At one point I was about to ask her why she didn’t pursue her PhD in Chinese. If she had answered that she didn’t speak any Chinese, I could have replied that she didn’t speak any English either. Of course I didn’t, but I kept wondering if this university graduate whose English was virtually non-existent was really expecting to be able to study full-time in a language she barely understood. Was that out of complete ignorance or arrogance? </p>\n<p>This article would have ended here if it weren’t for an irksome incident I experienced the other day. Unfortunately, the title of this article does not exclusively refer to Thais\' language skills. As you may know, Thai roads are among the most dangerous in the world and saying that Thai drivers, even the ones employed in the public transport sector, aren\'t the world\'s most skilled drivers is tantamount to calling a Turkish bath rather tepid. Although I don\'t complain easily and I am aware of the cultural sensitivity of complaints and the ensuing loss of face for all parties concerned, a van driver was driving so dangerously during my last trip to Kanchanaburi that my blood started to boil and I couldn’t help berating him for driving so recklessly. I am sure that in just 30 minutes he had accumulated enough traffic violations to revoke his driving license for the next three lifetimes. Although weaving through traffic, speeding and tailgating – simply put, driving like an utter maniac - are very common, I couldn’t appreciate him doing so when it started to drizzle.</p>\n<p>In true Thai fashion, he completely ignored me apart from a condescending chuckle. His female companion tried to reassure me all was good by claiming ‘he vely good diver, no wolly’ , but although Evel Knievel slowed down slightly, I still felt far from being in safe hands. The look on the other passengers could only be described as completely indifferent and of course nobody wanted to get involved, either because they preferred running the risk of accidental death to losing face or because the simpletons thought driving like Lewis Hamilton on busy roads was swell. </p>\n<p>A few days later, after I had cooled down and decided to start my private boycott of vans, I read an article in the Bangkok Post about road safety. The Thai Health Systems Research Institute recently released figures putting the number of people disabled in road accidents at 35 and those injured at 350 a day. A quick Internet search put the number of people killed in traffic at around 13,000 in 2005, and rising yearly. Taking into account the number of vehicles, miles travelled and population, this is far higher than most other countries. Such tragic figures should spur passengers into demanding safer drivers, especially on public transport. Are drivers so ignorant about what causes accidents or are they so arrogant to believe that their driving skills, amulets and flowers garlands will protect them from any harm?</p>','','2008-06-30 19:36:50',1,'2008-06-30 19:36:50','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(144,8,'Back to school','back-to-school','A brief overview of primary and secondary schools in Thailand','There are three main kinds of schools in Thailand: government schools, private schools and international schools.

For some, this is a joyous occasion as they are getting bored stiff sitting at home with nothing to do; for others, it’s a relief for not being sent to summer school tutoring every day anymore; for many, it\'s the dreaded return to the Thai classroom where killing time is the main task of the day.</p>\n<p>In this month\'s article, I\'ll give a brief overview of primary and secondary schools in Thailand, introduce you to a few of my students and discuss some burning issues on the Thai education front. Being employed by a private language school, I have the privilege of meeting students of all different walks of life, well upper walks to be correct. Usually they have one thing in common: they – or their parents – can afford private tuition outside of regular school hours. </p>\n<p>I feel that extra-curricular tutoring can either be a blessing or a curse. It can be a blessing because apparently the quality of regular Thai education remains so inadequate in many schools that in order to learn anything useful at all, tutors – be it language, maths or science tutors – are an almost necessary addition to a student\'s formal education. However, as I mentioned last month, I have the impression that dragging children to several tutoring school at the weekend or after school hours can rob them of their childhood. Aren\'t children supposed to play with their friends and have fun after having completed their homework?</p>\n<p>There are three main kinds of schools in Thailand: government schools, private schools and international schools. Internationals schools are the most expensive, with average yearly fees ranging from 200,000 to 600,000 baht, depending on the quality and reputation of the school. All lessons are conducted in English, except foreign language lessons and Thai language lessons of course. Class sizes are usually small (15–25 students per class) and most, if not all, teachers are foreign. Admission criteria are strict.</p>\n<p>Private schools are schools resembling government schools, but are privately owned and managed. Tuition fees are much lower than international schools, ranging from around 50,000 to 200,000 baht per school year. Admission criteria are not as strict as for international schools and class sizes are bigger (25–40 students). Most of these schools run English programmes, meaning that students are usually taught in both Thai and English. It is possible for students to have a geography lesson in Thai, only to be followed by the same lesson taught in English by a foreign teacher. Unfortunately, despite the existence of admission criteria, some schools will admit just about anyone (they\'re running a business, remember), even if the candidate’s English is much to poor to undergo lessons conducted in English. These students often require extra tutoring to bring their English skills up to speed. </p>\n<p>Government schools are schools run under the patronage of the Ministry of Education. There are tens of thousands of them across the country and most don\'t have a very good reputation. A lack of funding, limited resources, not always qualified teachers and the no-fail policy all contribute to students graduating with few useful skills at all. Most schools admit just about anyone. Class sizes are big (45–60 students) and often most – if not all – teachers are Thai. Education is supposedly completely free, although many schools charge small fees to cover expenses such as utility bills and foreign teachers\' salaries. School uniforms and text books are other costs incurred by parents. </p>\n<p>Surprisingly, some 300 government schools country-wide, most of them in and around Bangkok, are considered top-notch and places in these schools are highly sought after. These schools usually have strict admission criteria. To give an example, more than 20,000 students sat the test to get into the top senior high school, with only 1,400 places available. Offering gratuities or tea money by patrons to secure a place for their offspring has been banned by law. Although considered excellent, classroom sizes in these schools remain high (around 50 students per class is not unusual). </p>\n<p>I imagined that teachers working in these establishments were better qualified and more dedicated than elsewhere and thus delivered a higher standard of education. The truth, however, seems to be that these teachers are often associated with prestigious universities and are thus abler to coach their students to pass entrance exams. If you get into one of these high schools, you’re almost sure to get into a good university. This emphasizes yet again the fact that Thai students aren’t in school to learn anything valuable for life; their only purpose for studying is passing exams.</p>\n<p>Let me introduce you to some of my students. Aclaire (not real name) is a 15-year old student of mine who got into what is considered the top government high school. There are 47 students in her class. She says courses are difficult and students are required to study hard. Every student also has to join one of the many school clubs with choices ranging from the English club and the cooking club to the movie club and the music club. These clubs aren\'t just for fun. Aclaire joined the movie club and her first assignment was, together with four other students, to write a screenplay for a 15-minute murder mystery video that will be directed and produced by the club. Apart from going to school on weekdays, Aclaire also studies on Saturdays and Sundays. Extra English, chemistry, maths, Chinese, music and art classes keep her busy most of the weekend. Although this year all her school subjects (except English) are taught in Thai, her English is of a high standard because she used to be enrolled in an intensive English programme the previous years.</p>\n<p>Nana (13) goes to a regular government school which is not considered exceptional. She is at the top of her class (51 students) when it comes to English grades, but she still takes extra lessons on Friday evenings. Her passive skills are quite good, but her active skills are sorely underdeveloped. Although she can make herself understood, she speaks very slowly, lacks confidence, hesitates often and thinks too long before speaking. She lacks fluency because she never needs to speak English, not even in class during an English lesson. She told me that during English lessons at school, her Thai teacher of English never speaks English at all. The only thing she does is explain the subtleties of English grammar in Thai. No wonder most Thai students don\'t have basic conversational skills. Although there might be some valid reasons why local teachers keep doing it their way, I think they deserve to be named and shamed more often if they underperform consistently. When asked what she does at the weekend, Nana guiltily admitted that she stays at home and relaxes, except for her piano lesson on Sunday. I was pleased to hear that she is allowed to be a normal kid.</p>\n<p>Nene (8) goes to an international school and has needed lots of extra tuition over the last 18 months. I suspect she wasn\'t ready to study every subject in English, but she was thrown in at the deep end, possibly because her school was too lax when enforcing entrance criteria. Fortunately, thanks to the quality of education and the benefit of private lessons, she is already showing the beginnings of real fluency and speaks very naturally with a slight American accent. Her reading skills are still lagging behind, but have progressed light years compared to last year. Although she is one of my younger students, she is one of the most talkative and will often start a conversation without being prompted. She is a really sweet girl and a joy to teach. I’m pleased that she is actually learning useful skills at school and not just becoming a trained monkey who is good at taking absurd multiple choice tests. Of course, this is just how I see it from my limited western point of view.</p>\n<p>An issue that has been discussed to death in teachers\' rooms lately is the Thai culture course. This 20-hour course which costs from 4,000 to 8,000 baht now seems to be mandatory in order to obtain a teacher\'s license. Many teachers, especially the \'old hands\' who have been in Thailand forever and often have a Thai wife and/or partner(s), have questioned the usefulness and relevancy of said course. As I haven\'t taken the course myself, it would be nice to have a reader or other columnist do a write-up of their experience undergoing it. I agree that it is important to know the cultural values of the country you\'re living in, so in that respect, the course might be interesting to newbies fresh off the boat. If it is, however, just a blatant attempt to make money at a teacher\'s expense or to assimilate all foreign educators by teaching them to sing the Thai anthem and to appreciate Thai classical dancing, then I would consider it another \'This-is-Thailand\' scam.</p>\n<p>A dress controversy has resurfaced at Thai universities. As you may or may not know, Thai university students are required to wear a uniform, consisting of a white blouse and black skirt (for girls and ladyboys) or white shirt and black trousers (for boys). If I remember correctly, girls\' skirts shouldn\'t show more than a few inches of flesh above the knee and blouses should fit. Many girls seem to have a problem with this as, in the name of fashion, they deem it necessary to wear ultrashort mini-skirts, revealing just about everything but their knickers (especially when sitting down) and blouses fit for 12-year olds, i.e. two or three sizes too small. </p>\n<p>There has been a lot of debate about this in society, in the press and even on Thai TV talk shows where female students heatedly defended their right to dress like sluts. As I am not a directly concerned party, I won\'t take sides. On the one hand, I\'m not particularly into sweets or sugary snacks, but I don\'t mind some eye candy from time to time. On the other hand, from a teaching point of view, it can get awkward and irritating in the classroom when students invariably start clutching their imaginary cleavage or try to pull their skirt down whenever you come within a 5-metre radius.</p>\n<p>I\'ve attached a picture collage to give readers who don\'t live in Thailand an idea of what I\'m talking about and judge for yourself. I strolled around a university neighbourhood armed with a camera, but couldn\'t locate many students. I then decided to check out the students\' more natural habitat, namely the local shopping mall, and I had instantly more luck. Within a few minutes I had taken two dozen useful snapshots depicting current fashionable student apparel.</p>\n<p>The questionable dress sense of Thai college students is not the only raging fashion controversy. Thais seem to have this bizarre idea that wearing dental braces is extremely attractive, possibly because girls flashing multi-coloured metallic grins are regularly featured in teen magazines, thus transforming the dental gear detested by western youths into a fashion statement. Needless to say that from a medical point of view, most teens (or even adults!) don\'t need to wear these monstrosities. Some, but not all, dentists might also be reluctant to prescribe them if they are unnecessary. Market forces, however, have brought braces within anyone\'s reach, as do-it-yourself kits can now even be purchased at local markets for very little money.</p>\n<p>Scores of illegal dental clinics have also sprung up around popular teen hangouts where youngsters can have their cute smile ruined for a fistful of baht. To make matters infinitely worse, many of the outlawed low-quality braces glued on healthy teeth can cause sores on the gums and contain dangerous metals such as lead. I wonder what will be the next fad. Wearing an eye-patch? Having fake buckteeth fitted? Nothing would surprise me anymore. One thing that has remained unchanged over the years is the students’ favourite complexion: acceptable colours are pale, ashen, pallid, pasty, sickly white and anaemic; definite no-nos are tropically tanned, mysteriously mocha and sensually dark.</p>\n<p>To end this month\'s column, here is my nickname of the month May 2008: Hygiene (girl, 12). What on earth were the parents thinking? Of course, it could be that I’m culturally ignorant and badly in need of the aforementioned workshop.</p>','','2008-05-31 20:26:42',1,'2008-05-31 20:26:42','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(145,8,'My songkran escape','my-songkran-escape','What better place to escape the madness than Singapore!','This year, the missus and I decided to go on a 10-day trip to Singapore and Malaysia, partly to avoid the songkran madness. I had been to the southern part of Malaysia (Langkawi and Penang) before but never to Singapore. She hadn’t been to either.','<p>For those who don’t live in the Land of Smiles, let me remind you that the Songkran Festival is the Thai celebration of the Buddhist New Year and is celebrated in the middle of April. Festivities usually last three to seven days and their main focus are on partying and water-throwing. Whereas the original festival was respectful and fun, nowadays it has completely degenerated into a drunken orgy of water hooliganism, harassment and binge drinking. No wonder that almost 500 deaths on the roads and several thousands of accidents occur yearly on Thai roads during Songkran. By the way, I completely disagree with most travel guides that say Songkran is one of the best times to visit Thailand. In my opinion, it’s one of the worst.</p>\n<p>The festival isn’t about gently pouring water onto people’s hands anymore as it used to be; it has become real guerrilla warfare where water cannons, dirty water and even ice water are used as weapons. Many sexually frustrated male punters also seem to think that groping females is a legitimate part of the ‘fun’. In order to avoid this misery caused by bullies and barbarians, many foreign residents barricade themselves indoors for several days during this period, I kid you not.</p>\n<p>This year, the missus and I decided to go on a 10-day trip to Singapore and Malaysia, partly to avoid the above-mentioned hysteria. I had been to the southern part of Malaysia (Langkawi and Penang) before but never to Singapore. She hadn’t been to either. Thanks to the Internet, I managed to buy some very reasonably priced aeroplane tickets to go from Bangkok to Singapore and come back from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. These ‘open jaw’ tickets made it possible to see both countries without having to do any backtracking.</p>\n<p><b>Singapore</b></p>\n<p>Although some friends and colleagues had depicted Singapore as rather dull and outrageously expensive, I wanted to see for myself. Most also reckoned that a two or three-day stay was ample time to see the mini-state, one even thought that one day was more than enough. How wrong they were. </p>\n<p>My first impressions of the smallest South-East Asian country were very positive and I soon realised that one could easily spend a month there in order to explore every nook and cranny without getting bored. That is, if one had the time and money to do so. Although prices in Singapore aren’t prohibitively high, the country is truly expensive when compared to Thailand.</p>\n<p>While walking along the Singapore River in the evening of our first day, my reaction was: ‘This isn’t Asia’. Singapore is really very different from most Asian countries I have visited. All the streets are clean. Traffic is very light. All motorists and pedestrians obey traffic rules. There aren’t any food stalls on the pavement or mangy dogs in the streets. Whenever there is an open space, there are some trees and well-kept grass instead of a pile of rubbish. New buildings are modern while old and historic buildings are tastefully renovated. Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere.</p>\n<p>The reason behind the light traffic is a government policy that forces car lovers not only to buy a vehicle, but also a permit to drive it. This so-called Certificate of Entitlement (COE) costs about as much as a small car.</p>\n<p>Singapore struck me as being similar to several western cities. I thought it combined the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Sydney, the sophistication of London and the homeliness of Amsterdam. Remember that this is just an impression based on a three-night stay. Thinking of the saying that a new broom sweeps clean, my positivism might erode with time.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I’ll go over the most interesting facts of our stay without trying to bore you with every detail. Accommodation is expensive: dorm beds start at 20 Singapore dollars (SGD), the shabbiest hotel rooms go for 50 SGD. You’ll need to pay at least 70 to 100 SGD for a half-decent room, as we did in Little India, one of the cheaper city districts.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of things to see and do; unfortunately they all cost money. We did seven of the ten must-see attractions (the iconic Merlion Park, tourist-friendly Sentosa Island, the original Chinatown, historic Clarke and Boat Quay, authentic Little India and alleged shopping paradise Orchard Road). Because of time constraints, we basically skipped all the animal and natural attractions such as Singapore Zoo, Night Safari, Jurong Bird Park and the Botanical Gardens. There are lots of good photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera.</p>\n<p>Tourist brochures are plentiful at Changi Airport, but they are disappointing as they mainly focus on high-street shopping and swanky dining, both of which cost tons of money. As I’m based in Bangkok, I’d never go to Singapore for shopping. An Arab wouldn’t go to Australia to buy a camel, would he now? (Yes I do know there are camels in the Outback.) Actually, we cut short our trip to Orchard Road, as seeing expensive department stores is not my idea of fun while on holiday. </p>\n<p>If you want to put your platinum credit card to good use when you’re getting hungry, you can wine and dine at the ubiquitous classy restaurants found all over the city centre. However, if you aim is to keep the food bill affordable, try eating at food courts or local, down-to-earth eateries, where the food is usually just as tasty but where you won’t need to sell a kidney to settle the bill. Food courts can be found in most shopping areas while basic restaurants are abundant in the ethnically diverse districts such as Little India and Chinatown.</p>\n<p>There is no Singaporean language. Most people speak Malay, Chinese or Hindi. Just about everybody speaks very good English as well. It was actually a relief to be able to speak English again wherever we went – contrary to Thailand, where hardly any local has the skill to conduct a basic conversation in fluent English.</p>\n<p>Sources have told me that Thais are envious of Singapore, and so they should be. General living conditions are much better, e.g. no traffic jams, limited air and noise pollution, clean and wide pavements, better working conditions and decent salaries. Also, very few people in Singapore seem sexually confused: there are no ladyboys, transvestites, transsexuals, eunuchs or tomboys to be seen on every street corner, contrary to Thailand. By the way, Singapore has also shown the world that it is possible to have an abundance of squeaky-clean, non-smelly public toilets. I wish the rest of the world would follow suit. </p>\n<p>Isn’t there anything negative about Singapore then? I suppose there is, but I just wasn’t there long enough to experience it. Rules are said to be very strict and laws are rigorously enforced. I saw a T-shirt for sale claiming that ‘Singapore is a fine city – smoking $500 fine, littering $1000 fine, jaywalking $300 fine’. Press freedom is supposedly suppressed and the government doesn’t seem to handle criticism very well. Also, if your daily diet requires lots of alcohol, remember that beer is about three times more expensive than in Thailand.</p>\n<p><b>Malaysia</b></p>\n<p>After three nights in Singapore, it was time to catch a bus to Malaysia. To our surprise, we were the only two passengers on the coach to Melaka (aka Malacca), a coastal city in the south-west of the Malaysian peninsula. Malaysian immigration was efficient, friendly and swift. I received a visa-free three-months-on-arrival stamp without even the need to fill in an arrival card. </p>\n<p>Although it doesn’t have the sophistication of Singapore nor the sandy-white beaches and nightlife of Thailand, Malaysia is a pleasant and relaxing place to visit with a lot of atmosphere. Melaka, which is rapidly being developed as a seaside resort city cum fancy shopping malls, has lots of interesting buildings, museums and remnants of the colonial era, mainly located around Bukit Saint Paul (Saint Paul Hill), in the middle of the old town centre. </p>\n<p>Accommodation in Malaysia is much cheaper than in Singapore, albeit slightly more expensive than Thailand. The hotel room we found was twice as nice and half the price of Singapore. Food is tasty and restaurants cater to most palates, with a mix of Malay and Chinese food being prevalent. Most restaurants are ‘halal’ (conforming to the Islamic dietary laws) of course, as the majority of Malaysians are Muslims. Alcohol is expensive.</p>\n<p>Seeing all the sights in Melaka and getting some relaxation took us three days, after which we moved on the capital Kuala Lumpur. After a two-hour bus ride we arrived in KL, as it is commonly known; it’s a big, modern city which doesn’t seem to be plagued by never-ending traffic jams and near-fatal air pollution. A swath of fairly inexpensive but scruffy hotels and guesthouses is located in and around Chinatown, so choose wisely. Most Malaysians speak basic English, although some can be hard to understand.</p>\n<p>KL’s Chinatown should really be called Faketown, since I hardly saw anything authentically Chinese sold at the Petaling Street market. Fake perfumes, designer clothes, leather ware, watches, pirated DVDs and the like was all there was. One could of course argue that producing fakes is an art the Chinese have perfected. On top of that, the market was swarmed with herds of obnoxious and bothersome vendors – none of them Chinese – who couldn’t sell a bottle of water to someone stranded in the desert.</p>\n<p>The main tourist sites in KL include Independence Square (Dataran Merdaka) with the picturesque Sultan Abdul Samad building, the Petronas twin towers and a number of famous mosques. Besides these, the Lake Gardens in the middle of the city provide a welcome oasis of green with several attractions such as a planetarium, orchid and hibiscus garden, butterfly garden, the biggest bird park in the world and a placid lake with boats for rent. Lake Gardens cover quite a big area, and doing all of it on foot can wear you out in the heat. I wish they would have banned all cars and rented bicycles instead. </p>\n<p>After another three nights in KL, it was time to return home. The Air Asia flight was not only cheap but also punctual and took us in two hours back to Bangkok. It had been a very nice break from Thailand indeed. Looking back, I was very pleasantly surprised by Singapore and racked up another positive experience in Malaysia. However, I was a bit surprised and dismayed that a lot more people than I had imagined in both Singapore and Malaysia smoked, with countless cigarette butts littering the streets especially in KL. </p>\n<p>Several English language newspapers are available in both Singapore and Malaysia. While we were there, two Malaysian stories caught my teacher’s eye. The first one decried the situation in which youngsters find themselves pushed to the limit by their parents to perform well academically and are dragged kicking and screaming to tutoring schools every weekend, thus denying them the opportunity to be a child and play with friends. It surely reminded me of Thailand. The second one focused on parents’ anger towards a teacher who thought nothing of caning a boy after he had supposedly misbehaved. Locals usually condone corporal punishment and wouldn’t have batted an eyelid if it weren’t for the fact that in this particular case the boy who underwent the caning suffered from Down’s Syndrome. </p>\n<p>A belated Happy Buddhist New Year to everyone.</p>','','2008-04-30 20:53:10',1,'2008-04-30 20:53:10','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(146,8,'Bangkok getaways - Kanchanaburi','bangkok-getaways-kanchanaburi','An idea tourist destination that\'s not far from the capital','Although I stayed 4 days/3 nights, Kanchanaburi can be visited in just a day or two if time is scarce. It\'s definitely worth it if you\'re in dire need of some low-cost rest and relaxation in unspoilt green surroundings.\n','<p>A while ago I had four days off and was in need of a change of scenery. I wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of noisy Bangkok and find some cleaner air and more relaxing surroundings. I decided to revisit Kanchanaburi, a small town some 130 kilometres west of the capital and mostly known for its historic landmark, the Bridge on the River Kwai.</p>\n<p>Although frequent buses depart from Bangkok\'s southern bus terminal and trains run twice daily from the Bangkok Noi train station, I opted for a passenger van originating at Victory Monument. The fairly spacious van took me and ten others for 130 baht to the centre of Kanchanaburi. Apart from an obnoxious mobile phone user sitting next to me spouting rubbish at high volume for the first 30 minutes, the journey was pleasant, quick and uneventful. </p>\n<p>After about two hours, the driver let out most people at the Kanchanaburi bus station and asked me where I was planning to go. \'Near the river,\' I told him, as that\'s where most of the tourist accommodation is situated. \'Okay, River Kwae,\' he said, \'no ploblem\'. As you may have noticed, the correct pronunciation of Kwai is \'kwae\', so don\'t be surprised if locals are dumbfounded when you ask for the River Kwai (‘kwai’ means buffalo in Thai). After another two minutes, he dropped me off in front of the River Kwai Hotel, a medium-range hotel in the city centre, quite far from the actual river. </p>\n<p>I didn\'t argue and got out, sensing that he might not comprehend why a wealthy foreigner would want to stay in budget accommodation overlooking a river. I hailed a motorbike taxi which took me for another 20 bath to the tourist street running parallel with the river. \'Pai nai?\', asked the motorbike driver and I blurted out \'Jolly Frog\', as that was the only one of the ubiquitous guesthouses I could remember from my previous visits three and six years earlier.</p>\n<p>Jolly Frog\'s Backpacker\'s was still around and going stronger than ever. Although I hadn\'t really planned to stay there, I had a meal in their restaurant and checked out the rooms anyway. The guesthouse had a nice, big garden with well-kept grass, palm trees, deck chairs, some hammocks and access to the river. Although it is a typical backpackers\' haunt, I thought it would be hard to find better price/quality.</p>\n<p>Prices at the guesthouse were low, ridiculously low even. In fact, I regained some of my travelling enthusiasm I had lost on overpriced Ko Chang a few months earlier. It appeared that not everywhere in Thailand tourists are being squeezed like lemons. Jolly rooms started at 70 baht (no typo, about 2 dollars) which got you a single room with fan and shared bathroom. Raft rooms on the river went for 150 baht (shared bathroom); in the main building, doubles with private bathroom cost 200 baht (fan) or 290 baht (A/C). As it wasn\'t too hot, I settled for a fan room.</p>\n<p>If these prices seem incredible, food at the Jolly restaurant was equally cheap, with meals starting at 25 baht. Just outside the guesthouse, \'Jolly Good Massages\' offered Thai torture for as little as 130 baht per hour. Renting a bicycle cost 50 baht for 24 hours. Motorbikes were on offer as well for lazy buggers with a death wish or a local sweetheart.</p>\n<p>Now what is there to see and do in Kanchanaburi apart from lazing in a hammock or sipping cold ones on a pontoon in the river? There is of course the famous bridge on the River Kwai, known around the world thanks to the war movie bearing the same name. The bridge was successfully bombed by the allied forces at the end of World War II, but was quickly thereafter restored. It is still used by the State Railway of Thailand which operates several trains daily on what is known as the Death Railway. This railway was designed by the Japanese and constructed by their prisoners of war linking Thailand with Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. It is said that one prisoner died for every sleeper on the railway.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, the line only runs as far as Nam Tok, some sixty kilometres west of Kanchanaburi. Tickets on the tourist train originating in Kanchanaburi cost 300 baht for foreigners (100 baht for Thais) and include - apart from a seat in the special carriage on the train No. 257 - a soft drink (tea or coffee - sic), a snack (cookies), a certificate of pride (?) and a 200,000 baht insurance. You can either buy tickets at the train station yourself or join one of the several tours offered by local guesthouses and travel agencies. If you don\'t like trains, just walk across the bridge to soak up some of the atmosphere. There is even a shuttle train for tourists unable to walk the 200 metres across the bridge, which is ideal for the disabled and Thai sightseers.</p>\n<p>Various day trips or half-day tours are sold everywhere in town and usually include more than just a trip on the Death Railway and a stop at the Hellfire Pass Memorial. Other diversions are visits to local waterfalls, hot springs or caves; bamboo rafting, elephant treks, elephant bathing and so on. Some agencies even offer overnight trips to hill tribe villages and the Three Pagodas Pass, located on the border with Myanmar, some 240 kilometres from Kanchanaburi. If you haven\'t seen a lot of Thailand yet, most of these tours are convenient and offer fairly good value for money (most one day tours cost 550 to 850 baht; entry fees and are food included). </p>\n<p>None of the travel agencies include the Tiger Temple in their tours, but do offer transportation to this increasingly popular but controversial tourist attraction. I had heard quite a bit about this temple where tigers supposedly roam free and wanted to check out myself what the fuss was all about. Let me start by giving you a brief history about this temple, based on the temple\'s own leaflet.</p>\n<p>The Tiger Temple is actually called Wat Pa Luangta Bua Yannasampanno. You can understand why it is commonly known as the Tiger Temple. It opened in 1994 and has gained a reputation as a wildlife sanctuary. Apparently, it all started with an injured jungle fowl given to the monks by villagers, followed by peacocks, wild boars, unwanted pets, deer, buffalo, cows, horses and wild goats.</p>\n<p>The first tiger cub arrived in 1999 but died soon thereafter. However, since poaching is a lucrative business in Asia, cubs are often left to fend for themselves after their mother is killed. Some of these were brought to the temple. As the years went by, the cubs grew up and \'to the abbot\'s delight and surprise started to reproduce\'. </p>\n<p>Now hold on a minute. Surprise? The abbot might have guessed what would happen if you put male and female tigers together. Delight? Definitely, since the temple charges a 300 baht entry fee. As a result, \'the abbot conceived an ambitious plan to create a large open air enclosure where each tiger would be given one rai (1600 m2) of land\'. </p>\n<p>I thought this all sounded good at the start: rescuing tiger cubs from the hands of greedy poachers and building a sanctuary. The truth however is that although the tigers are still alive and given ample food and decent-sized enclosures, they are still locked up. No tigers roam free at the Tiger Temple. Nor is there any initiative to reintroduce them back into the wild, or so it seems.</p>\n<p>When entering the grounds and following the crowds, the photo opportunity with tiger cubs is what you\'ll probably see first. A monk sits and plays with a number of young cubs which have been taken away from their mothers and hand-reared in order to domesticate them and suppress their natural instincts. Tourists can sit with the monk and cubs and have their picture taken. Allegedly, none of the tigers are ever fed raw meat in order to prevent them from having the occasional tourist for lunch. This might be working as I haven\'t heard of any maulings lately.</p>\n<p>The adult tigers are taken daily from their enclosures to the Tiger Canyon, walked there by the monks assisted by a horde of volunteers working at the temple. In the canyon, the tigers are chained to the ground and visitors can have their photo taken squatting behind some of these fearsome beasts. The photos are taken with the tourists\' own cameras by the volunteer workers and are free of charge. This lasts under a minute as on busy days hundreds of would-be Tarzans line up to be immortalised with a species that might soon feature on CITES EW-list (extinct in the wild). </p>\n<p>Special pictures can be obtained for an extra 1,000 baht. For this hefty fee, you can spend more time with the tigers and have your picture taken with one of the biggest but tamest tiger’s head on your lap. This might be the time to remember that in order to get access to the temple, you have to sign a waiver, agreeing not to hold the temple responsible for any injuries or damage that you or your personal belongings may sustain.</p>\n<p>Should a visit to the temple be on your itinerary when visiting the region? I think everyone should decide for themselves. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this temple on the Internet (cf. The Thorn Tree, Lonely Planet\'s online forum) and there are as many friends as foes of the temple. Friends describe their visits as an unforgettable experience, foes point out that this is no more than an ordinary zoo, where tigers are occasionally mistreated. </p>\n<p>I didn’t witness any cruel treatment myself, but if what the monks do is conservationism, then it\'s definitely Asian-style. It is clear that the temple has become a well-oiled commercial operation with hundreds of daily visitors. I suppose it’s running a healthy profit, although a substantial part of this must be used to feed the tigers and build their enclosures. The temple seems to have no plans whatsoever to release any tigers back into the wild. This would actually be impossible as they have become domesticated and probably wouldn\'t be able to survive in the jungle. On the other hand, tigers in the wild are facing a grim future, and the temple is one of the only places where one can see these beautiful creatures close-up, albeit in chains. So to go or not to go? Without intending to influence readers, I didn\'t think it was worth it.</p>\n<p>If you don\'t like seeing animals in captivity or want to avoid being mauled, you could visit some of Kanchanaburi\'s museums or war cemeteries instead. No danger there of being eaten alive. Like the Bridge on the River Kwai, all cemeteries and museums are conveniently located within cycling distance of the riverside accommodation. I thought the somewhat dilapidated and slightly bizarre World War II museum next to the bridge was the most interesting one, followed by the brand new, air-conditioned Death Railway Museum next to the centrally located Don Rak War Cemetery.</p>\n<p>For food, drink and entertainment, there are a string of pubs and restaurants along the River Kwai Road in the vicinity of the guesthouses. Although their food and drink might have been good, they all suffered in February from the lack of tourists. The Jolly Frog restaurant, however, was always quite full, unlike the 15-odd roadside establishments that vied for the remaining twenty tourists roaming free. </p>\n<p>My return to the capital on the fourth day was uneventful. I had booked a ticket for one of the vans that made the trip every hour to Sanam Luang, the park located near Kao San Road, and it picked me up right outside the guesthouse. Although I stayed 4 days/3 nights, Kanchanaburi can be visited in just a day or two if time is scarce. It\'s definitely worth it if you\'re in dire need of some low-cost rest and relaxation in unspoilt green surroundings.</p>','','2008-03-31 20:59:24',1,'2008-03-31 20:59:24','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(147,8,'How to motivate students','how-to-motivate-students','Keys to improving language learning','Motivation can either be internal or external.

Most students who are internally motivated tend to be adults. </p>\n<p>Few children or teenagers have the internal motivation adults have, which is not really surprising. Have you ever heard an eight-year old say ‘I want to learn English so I can find a good job when I graduate and make lots of money?’ I haven’t. When you ask children or even teenagers why they are studying English (or any other foreign language), they’ll more often than not say (or think) ‘because my parents want me to’, ‘because I have to’ or ‘I have no idea’. </p>\n<p>I admit that some give better reasons such as ‘because I like (sic)’, ‘because it important (sic)’ or ‘because I want to speak English very good (sic)’. In my experience, these replies don’t necessarily prove the student is internally motivated, especially not in Thailand; students usually just want to please their teacher by giving these answers. I sometimes have to refrain from replying ‘Well if you like it that much, why the hell don’t you try a bit harder?’ </p>\n<p>External motivation means that there is an outside factor giving students a reason to learn English. For adults, this could mean that their boss or company expects them to brush up their English (or face the axe) or that they need a certain TOEIC score in order to be considered for a bonus. Especially for adults, internal and external motivation often overlaps. For children, it is usually their parents or teachers who provide stimuli for motivation.</p>\n<p>Getting students motivated just by the power of persuasion is quite difficult. Thus, parents and teachers alike often use reward or punishment to motivate students. Here are some examples:</p>\n<p>• (Loving parents talking)<br />\nIf you get good grades,<br />\no we’ll go to KFC every day. (this makes not only students, but also Colonel Sanders happy; it also assures doctors\' future employment thanks to obesity and clogged arteries)<br />\no we’ll buy you a new computer game. (with illegally copied games to keep Thailand on the Priority Watch List)<br />\no you’ll get your dinner every night. (a bit more old-fashioned, I admit, but food is extremely important to Thais)</p>\n<p>• (Strict parents talking)<br />\nIf you fail or do worse than the neighbours’ kids,<br />\no Santa won’t come this year. (only works with kids under 15)<br />\no we’ll have you do exercise. (every couch potato’s nightmare)<br />\no we’ll start calling you Buffalo. (only works in Thailand)</p>\n<p>• (Caring teacher talking)<br />\nIf you do your best and cooperate well,<br />\no your parents will be proud of you. (a long shot, I admit)<br />\no we’ll play a (language) game after the break. (kids love games)<br />\no I’ll buy everyone pizza at the end of the term. (budget wisely)</p>\n<p>• (Fed-up teacher talking)<br />\nIf you keep mucking about,<br />\no I’ll have teacher Somchai cane you. (it\'s outlawed, but who cares)<br />\no I’ll confiscate your mobile phone and Game Boy. (ouch!)<br />\no I’ll tell your parents. (only works with strict parents)<br />\no I’ll send you to the principal. (annoys them both)</p>\n<p>There are of course other techniques in order to make students – willingly or unwillingly – cooperate more. Here are a few ideas:<br />\n Simple oral praise in the classroom.<br />\n Giving a \'thumbs-up\' when answering correctly.<br />\n Stars or positive comments in workbooks or notebooks.<br />\n For smaller groups, wall charts or whiteboard-based systems for keeping track of students\' cooperation and effort (e.g. Students\' names with smiley faces or ticks for positive participation, sad faces or crosses for disruptions or laziness; possible prize for the best student at the end of the term). </p>\n<p>Although I am currently based in Thailand, I have no reason to think that lack of motivation is typically Thai. It can be found in EFL classrooms around the world. In Thailand however, the lack of motivation seems to be more ingrained and tougher to stamp out. This could be due to the no-fail policy, which ensures students graduate no matter how good or bad their English is or how lazy they are.</p>\n<p>Also, many Thais – especially children and teenagers – don’t see any reason why they should speak English. As said before, they know a foreign teacher can’t fail them, so they feel untouchable. On top of that, many of them have absolutely no desire to go abroad or to speak to foreigners if they can avoid it. All foreign TV programmes are dubbed in Thai and cinemas provide either dubbed or subtitled versions of most films.</p>\n<p>Although I’ve been somewhat pessimistic, I’d like to end on an optimistic note. I do think it is possible to motivate students, even in Thailand. I am certain that the enthusiasm and creativity shown by many teachers eventually rubs of on learners, well, at least to a certain extent and if not on all, then at least on some students. We teachers can only do so much. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.</p>','','2008-02-29 21:18:58',1,'2008-02-29 21:18:58','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(148,8,'Ways to improve Thai education','ways-to-improve-thai-education','This should be the first government priority','So how can Thailand improve its education? In a nutshell: train the trainers, put fewer students together, motivate them better, hire the right foreign educators to help this bring about, and involve parents more.','<p>I would like to put forth some ideas as to how Thai education in general – and English language teaching in particular – could be improved in the Kingdom. In my opinion, this could be achieved through better teacher training, the use of appropriate teaching methods, reduced classroom size, fairer salaries, a more selective hiring process for foreign teachers and better motivated learners.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teacher training</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I think that first of all, teacher training should drastically improve. Students who are working their way through a university course in order to become a teacher should graduate with at least a decent working knowledge of English. Too often have I met university graduates with very poor language skills – even English majors often seem to struggle with the basics of the language!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One way of improving skills of future teachers – be it English, French or Chinese teachers – is to include a mandatory students’ exchange programme into the course, thus forcing students to study abroad where they will be able to use and fine-tune their language skills.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Thai English teachers, a stint in an English-speaking country can only be beneficial – even if it’s only a few weeks. Should this prove too expensive, regional countries with proficient English such as India or Singapore could be taken into consideration as training grounds.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course the problem isn’t really recently graduated teachers, but rather the older and more traditional teachers. Older refers to the many Thai teachers are now approaching retirement age; traditional refers to the local educators who stick to grammar-translation and rote-learning when teaching English.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The grammar-translation method was devised centuries ago and focuses on grammar, reading and translation. Without going into too much detail, teachers using this method usually conduct an English lesson entirely in Thai, without any speaking or listening practice in the target language. Need I add that this method has been shelved for decades in most countries worldwide?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teaching methods</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Instead of using the ancient and ineffective grammar-translation method, teachers should rather use a mix of the communicative approach (focus on speaking and listening), the direct method (only English is used without translation, making use of props such as realia, flashcards, etc.), the audio-lingual method (focus on drilling, memorisation and pronunciation) and the lexical approach (focus on vocabulary, phrases and chunks of language).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don’t want to go into too much detail, but it should be clear by now that in the English classroom, anything is better than the grammar-translation method; attention should be given to the four skills, with an emphasis on speaking and listening – skills which are essential for effective communication.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older generation of traditional Thai teachers should understand by now that being able to read Shakespeare and explain the usage of the present perfect continuous in their mother tongue gets students absolutely nowhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ways to improve existing teachers’ skills include appropriate and regular workshops in English led by qualified teacher trainers, teacher observations with useful feedback and peer observations. Teachers should also gradually move from teacher-centred learning to student-centred learning.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The teacher-centred approach that Thai teachers use is obsolete, does not allow any student participation and stifles debate and critical thinking. Even today, too many Thai teachers still see themselves as either omnipotent classroom dictators or infallible preachers who are never to be challenged. Unfortunately they haven’t noticed that most of their audiences have long fallen asleep.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So in order to improve students’ English skills, teachers should use a mix of appropriate teaching methods, be proficient in English, use more English when teaching (the more the better, but I feel that 50% - if not more – is an absolute minimum) and give more importance speaking and listening.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Classroom size</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Even the world\'s most qualified teacher wouldn\'t be able to teach decent English to classes of up to 50 unruly students or more, especially given the often limited time and resources at their disposal. In fact, learning a language effectively needs to be done in smaller groups of maximum 20.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I personally think that teaching 10 to 15 students is ideal, but it would be foolish to believe this will ever be possible in Thailand (except for the upmarket private language schools). Apart from being well-trained, flexible, creative, patient and enthusiastic, teachers should be realistic and pragmatic; having a good sense of humour is also not to be underestimated.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So in order to improve language learning in particular and education in general, more efforts should be focused on decreasing class size. Doing so will involve building more classrooms and/or schools and hiring more teachers. Given the acute lack of local teachers at present, achieving this will be no small feat.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Fair salaries</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In order to recruit new teachers successfully, the authorities will have to put more efforts into revaluating the teaching profession. Like almost everywhere in the world, teachers in Thailand are overworked and underpaid, especially the local teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whereas most foreigners teaching in Thailand usually earn a fair salary - albeit rather modest on an international scale - beginning Thai teachers often make less than needed to survive. Although salaries increase with seniority, this won\'t lure new graduates to becoming teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Therefore, the teaching profession should be made more attractive by offering a better starting salary and possibly performance bonuses (e.g. for attending or leading workshops). Moreover, teachers should be given more teaching responsibilities and fewer administrative tasks. Teachers should primarily teach, not push paper or other do chores which could basically be done by the school’s janitor.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Foreign teachers</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As there is an acute lack of good local English teachers, hiring foreigners is a quick and easy way to cope with this problem. Until there are enough Thai teachers who are capable of delivering English lessons in English with a half-decent pronunciation, recruiting hordes of barbarians to fill these jobs is a necessity.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Does it matter where these foreign cohorts come from? Not really. When it comes to teaching languages, students should be taught by well-trained teachers who master the language they are teaching. It’s not really important if these foreign teachers are American or British. They could even be non-native speakers, such as Filipinos or Kenyans, as long as they can teach and are proficient in the language of Shakespeare.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In order to attract well-qualified foreigners, Thai schools will have to cough up enough hard cash. Although some schools pay relatively good salaries, many schools still try to get teachers on the cheap. They try to get away with paying Filipino teachers a pittance (actually a salary somewhere between that of Thais and westerners, which some Pinoys – in particular the not-so-qualified ones -accept, thus shooting the whole community in the foot); schools even revert to hiring poorly qualified but cheaper Eastern Europeans, mainly because they are carbon copies of white-skinned native speakers, albeit with an often heavy accent. Of course, school administrators shouldn’t forget that if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Learners\' motivation</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Motivation to learn is one of the most important factors for students to achieve their goals quickly. Research has shown that average students who are well-motivated usually do better than excellent students who are not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although motivating students to learn isn’t always easy, I see a clear correlation between the students’ motivation and the teacher’s enthusiasm and teaching skills. I also think that motivating children and teenagers should be a joint effort between parents and teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Imagine children who are asked by an enthusiastic teacher to read a book, follow the news or practise some English outside the classroom only to go home to parents whose idea of time well spent is to watch never-ending daily soap operas, to spend most family time inside shopping malls and never to discuss anything more profound than what they have eaten or going to eat. I’d say the teachers’ efforts will largely have been a waste of time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thirst for knowledge isn’t innate. If children never see parents read a book or watch the news on TV, are never taken to a park or a zoo at the weekend, are never asked for their opinion or expected to be creative, it will be very difficult to undo this attitude they see as the norm. They’ll just be assimilated into a society where consumerism, ignorance and xenophobia are considered acceptable.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Will it happen?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So how can Thailand improve its education? In a nutshell: train the trainers, put fewer students together, motivate them better, hire the right foreign educators to help this bring about, and involve parents more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I am aware that efforts are already underway to improve teachers’ skills, but it seems that either not enough teachers are reaping the benefits from this programme or that too much is expected in too short a time. It is ludicrous to think that such profound changes can be achieved in one year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I fully realise that most of the measures I put forth in this article are largely policy decisions, thus depending mainly on the insight, common sense and willingness to change of politicians. Consequently, I have to admit that I am somewhat doubtful that any of the above ways to improve education will be implemented in the near future.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the meantime, as teachers, we can only continue to proffer advice and help and teach our Thai students to the best of our abilities. Let’s hope that the efforts of dedicated teachers will inspire learners and in the end rub off on both students and society.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Among the students of today will be the policymakers of tomorrow, so in the end the seeds we sow today might one day bear fruits and lead to a change in attitude towards learning in general. As this is a long-term investment, we can only hope that it comes full circle sooner rather than later.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If some readers see this article as an indictment of not only Thai policymakers, but also of established teachers and parents, well, it suppose is. I think it is about time for everyone involved in education to wake up and realise that something needs to be done and that if you’re not part of the solution, you’re more than likely part of the problem.</p>','','2018-04-25 21:24:00',1,'2008-02-29 21:24:17','2018-04-25 17:15:59'),(149,8,'Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008','goodbye-2007-welcome-2008','So what happened exactly?

I hope you all had a good time and are keen to get back to work, full of renewed energy. Personally, I’m really thankful Christmas and New Year are behind us as, apart from Songkran (the Thai New Year), it’s one of the times of the year I appreciate the least. In this column I’ll briefly look back on 2007 before making some predictions for the year that lies ahead. </p>\n<p>I spent the final days of 2007 on Ko Chang (Elephant Island) in the Gulf of Thailand. Although I have been quite a regular visitor there over the past years, I have decided that I won’t return anymore. Without going into too much detail or being too critical, let’s just say that the place has lost most of its charm to me and that the development going on there is – in my humble opinion – not sustainable and will just turn the island into another ugly and overpriced tourist trap. Despite the advertisements claiming the opposite, Ko Chang is not a world-class destination; nor is Suwannapoom in Bangkok the best airport in the world. Come to think of it, I’d be reluctant to recommend a holiday in Thailand to friends or family nowadays.</p>\n<p>So what happened in 2007? The main international stories of 2007 that I remember are the worldwide awakening to the fact that global warming might actually be a real threat after all, the short-lived but fierce uprising by Burmese monks and ordinary citizens fed up with their military dictators, the ongoing tragedy in Darfur, the turmoil in the financial markets leading to a global credit crunch and the first run on a bank in modern history and the tragic death of Benazir Bhutto, brutally assassinated shortly after her return to her home country. Education-wise, the collapse of Nova, the biggest English language school in Japan, deserves a mention.</p>\n<p>Also, let’s not forget the new batch of world leaders coming to the fore in 2007 (Brown, Sarkozy, Rudd, Fukuda), Al Gore receiving a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts, and the continuing plight of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese pro-democracy icon who remains under house arrest. I suppose the war in Iraq should get a mention with its relentless suicide bombers still wreaking havoc and the rising disgruntlement of US citizens with George’s disastrous adventure, but it is clear that global interest in this seemingly endless conflict has been waning. </p>\n<p>Although many Thais seem to think that 2007 was a bad year for their country, to me it was just business as usual. The main stories I remember were the public referendum for the new constitution (approved by 60% of the population), the run-up to the December elections and the resurrection of the defunct That Rak Thai Party under the name of the People Power Party, and the elections themselves with the aforementioned PPP as the clear winner.</p>\n<p>There was also the ongoing slaughter in the restive South, where rebels keep killing and beheading innocent people for no apparent reason (do they really want independence?), the numerous stories about the struggling economy (although 2007 was a top year for Thai exports), the fact that schools nationwide received the authorisation to increase classroom sizes as an ill-conceived panacea for the lack of classrooms and teachers (classes can now have up to 50 students if I remember correctly, but that’s irrelevant as 30+ students in a class is already too high to get a quality education). Finally, the Jatukarn Ramathep amulet craze and the King’s brief hospitalisation kept Thais spellbound in 2007.</p>\n<p>Many Thais had the impression that, economically, 2007 was a bad year. Although Thailand lagged behind most other ASEAN countries in terms of growth, the country’s economy still grew by about 4 per cent. I suspect the people’s unfavourable impression was especially fuelled by rising oil prices and the realisation that the government wouldn’t keep bailing out its gas-guzzling citizens and industries any longer. Thais should start waking up to the fact that global oil prices affect everyone and that the only remedy is to start economising fuel. State subsidies will not accomplish this as they are seen by most as a get-out-of-jail-free card and rather lead to an increase instead of a decrease in fuel consumption.</p>\n<p>So far for 2007, now what about 2008? Internationally, the US presidential elections will dominate the world headlines, with a predictable win for Hillary Clinton as the first female president in US history. Other topics that will dominate international news are Pakistan and global warming.</p>\n<p>Although global warming will continue to attract the attention it deserves, I still feel that equal efforts ought to be made to combat pollution in general and the depletion of the Earth’s natural resources if mankind is to survive the 21st century. As for Pakistan, it’s anyone’s guess what the outcome of its precarious situation will be.</p>\n<p>For Thailand, one can only hope that the newly elected politicians will be able to form a fair and democratic government, taking into consideration the delicate situation the whole country is facing. Reconciliation between the pro- and anti-Thaksin groups will be vital, as well as bridging the gap between the wealthy and the poor with sustainable policies instead of populist hand-outs. Other priorities of the next government should include finding a solution for the unrest in the Deep South, weeding out corruption at all levels and improving and reforming education, just to name a few. I predict that few of these wishes will come true though.</p>\n<p>For myself, I predict that I’ll stay just another year in the Land of Smiles. It seems that the longer you stay in Thailand, the more it grows on you but at the same time the more it gets to you. </p>','','2007-12-31 21:45:11',1,'2007-12-31 21:45:11','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(150,8,'Land of a million elephants','land-of-a-million-elephants','A recent trip to landlocked Laos','Contrary to visiting Thailand, which is only a package tour away for most international tourists, holidaying in Laos takes some more time and planning.

Land of a Million Elephants, or Lan Xang in the local lingo, does not refer to the Land of Smiles as readers familiar with South-East Asia will know, but to Thailand’s northern and north-eastern neighbour Laos. Strangely enough, I’ve never seen a single elephant in Laos. In this article, I’ll give a brief account of my recent trip to this landlocked country which is far less travelled not as well-known as its Thai neighbour.</p>\n<p>Laos, officially called Lao People’s Democratic Republic, is about half the size of Thailand - or roughly the same size of the United Kingdom - but has only 6 million inhabitants, which is only a tenth of the population of the two previously mentioned countries. It is basically one of the last remaining communist countries in the world, although various forms of free enterprise seem to be allowed nowadays. The economy is mainly based on agriculture, forestry, mining and tourism.</p>\n<p>Contrary to visiting Thailand, which is only a package tour away for most international tourists, holidaying in Laos takes some more time and planning. Also, it isn’t (and will hopefully never be) the ideal destination for tourists seeking to stay exclusively in four or five star hotels, to have themselves pampered by masseuses on white beaches or to pursue the personal services of local ‘business’ girls, be it bar, beer, karaoke or go-go girls.</p>\n<p>For more detailed information on this beautiful country, I suggest you just use Google and surf to the most appropriate webpage among the 3.5 million search results. I’ll limit myself here to giving information that might be useful for a short trip to Vientiane, the Laotian – or Lao – capital and Vang Vieng, a rustic rural town some 160 clicks north of Vientiane.</p>\n<p>For would-be tourists based in Bangkok, there are a few different ways to get to Laos. With budget airlines such as Nokair and Thai AirAsia, flying to Udon Tani in the upper North-East of Thailand is now within anyone’s budget. Promotional tickets start at 3 baht (10c), but with taxes and surcharges such as fuel, weight, height, luggage, check-in, nationality and gender surcharge, cost an average of 1,500 baht (1 US dollar = 34 baht; 1 euro = 49 baht; 1 pound = 70 baht). It’s still cheap though considering they take you to Udon Tani, located about 550 km north of Bangkok and 50 km south of the Lao border. Although direct flights to Vientiane exist, flying within Thailand saves significantly on airfare, airport taxes and service charges. </p>\n<p>From the Udon Tani airport, either use the ‘limousine service’ to the Friendship Bridge in Nong Kai (basically a small air-conditioned bus; fare 150 baht) or take a van to the local bus station to catch the convenient international bus Udon Tani – Vientiane (fare 80 baht; only do this if you have a Lao visa in advance as the bus doesn’t wait at the border). Visas can be obtained either beforehand from any Lao embassy or consulate or on arrival; visas usually grant a stay of up to 30 days and can be extended. The visa on arrival will take approximately 20 minutes to process at the border checkpoint and cost between 20 and 42 US dollar. The Chinese are happy campers while Canadians have the right to look sour-faced. Most other nationalities pay between 30 and 35 dollars (or the equivalent in baht). Make sure to have a passport photo handy.</p>\n<p>Another straightforward, but less comfortable way to get to Vientiane is taking an overnight bus to the Thai border town of Nong Kai. Buses departing from Morchit bus station cost between 350 baht for a second-class A/C bus to 700 baht for a 24-seater VIP bus. It’s always a good idea to pay a little bit extra to make the 8 to 10 hour journey more agreeable. Alternatively, people with lots of spare time might ‘city-hop’ to the border, visiting the main tourist attractions of - in my opinion - rather dull cities such as Nakon Ratchasima, Kon Kaen and Udon Tani along the way. </p>\n<p>For more detailed travel information, just visit one of the thousands of travel forums or tourist websites available online – or go with the flow, as travel should be partly a personal discovery, instead of just retracing someone else’s footsteps.</p>\n<p>Once you’ve crossed into Laos, you are still twenty odd kilometres away from the capital. If you came without using the international bus, dilapidated, metre-less taxis, private or public tuk-tuks (the smaller ones are called jumbos, the bigger ones Skylabs) or public buses can get you there. Don’t be afraid to bargain, but remember that the price of petrol has gone up markedly lately. Don’t think that because Laos is poorer than Thailand, it will consequently be cheaper to travel. Like Cambodia, it’s not; it’s even slightly more expensive (less cheap is actually more appropriate).</p>\n<p>Accommodation in the Lao capital ranges from the very cheap to the expensive. Five dollars might still get you a dorm bed or sleazy room in a grotty guest house, while credit cards are probably a must in Don Chan Palace, the one and only five-star hotel in the country. There are lots of options in between these two extremes; just walk around the small city centre and look around.</p>\n<p>Now what is there to see and do once you’re in Vientiane? Actually, the capital of Laos is a very laidback place, quite the opposite form the hustle and bustle of mega-Bangkok. It is similar to a provincial Thai city and lacks high-rise buildings. Traffic jams are also an unknown phenomenon in this city. Although Laotians do enjoy the comfort of a modern car, many cannot afford one and get around by motorbike. When travelling in Vientiane, there is always a whiff of a two-stroke engine’s exhaust in the air. Similar to their Thai neighbours, locals don’t seem to enjoy the pleasure of pedalling a bicycle, although the absence of heavy traffic makes for fair and enjoyable riding conditions.</p>\n<p>Bicycles as well as motorbikes can be rented along the Mekong River and are ideal to explore the fringes of the city. For sightseeing in the city centre, all one needs is a good pair of walking shoes. Compared to five years ago, most roads are now nicely paved and even sport pavements and a bunch of new traffic signs. Potholes no longer threaten the lives of bikers and hikers alike.</p>\n<p>The main attractions of Vientiane are its temples and its unhurried atmosphere. Just walk or cycle around the city centre to discover these hidden beauties. Wat Si Saket and Ho Pra Kaew are probably the most interesting temples within the small city centre. Admission price is a mere 5,000 kip for foreigners (1 US dollar = 9500 kip, 1 euro = 13000 kip, 1 pound = 18000 kip). Apart from these, there are plenty more where entrance is free.</p>\n<p>Other interesting sites in Vientiane include Patuxai, the Lao version of the French Arc de Triomphe and That Luang, the most important national temple and pride of the country. Just rent a bicycle or put on your walking boots to get there. Take a tuk-tuk if it’s a hot day or if you’re handicapped. When temple-fatigue sets in, just wander along the banks of the Mekong River and indulge in some local food and drink. Beer Lao, fruit shakes or fresh coconut juice as well as nice local food can be found anywhere at very moderate prices.</p>\n<p>Nightlife in Laos isn’t particularly exciting, but that has never bothered me or stopped me from visiting. With a midnight closing time for all entertainment venues, there are no opportunities for all-night drinking sessions or other debauchery, which is exactly what the Lao government intended when they implemented this so-called curfew. The most popular tourist haunts still seem to be Kobchai Deu Bar & Restaurant near Namphu Fountain, Samlor Pub which offers live football and the string of restaurants and beer gardens along the Mekong. There are a number of discos and nightclubs on the road to the airport, but these are primarily a deafening Lao affair. </p>\n<p>Seeing Vientiane can be done in just one or two days. If you’re fed up quickly, the most interesting site outside the city is probably Buddha Park, a green area full of Buddha statues and sculptures near the Friendship Bridge, some 25 kilometres east of Vientiane. Take either a local bus from the Morning Market bus station or rent a motorbike to get there. Don’t forget to take your camera if you’re a photo aficionado. Laos offers plenty of marvellous photo opportunities. In Vientiane however, you sometimes just have to go the extra mile to find them. Remember that the best time to take great pictures is usually early morning or late afternoon, when the sunlight isn’t too harsh, so even late or hung-over risers need not despair. </p>\n<p>If you’re not into city trips, Vientiane can be the stepping stone to a relaxing stay in Vang Vieng, a small town 160 kilometres north of the capital which is on every backpacker’s itinerary. The main draws of this insignificant town are probably the fact that it’s fairly far from modern civilisation (although there are several Internet cafes), the abundant possibilities it offers for relaxation and its laidback – even dormant – atmosphere. </p>\n<p>What most people do when they end up in Vang Vieng, which lies at the banks of the small Nam Song River and is surrounded by breathtaking mountains, is going tubing, kayaking, caving, cycling, hiking, sunbathing or swimming in the fast-streaming and shallow river. Other less adventurous options include just sitting along the banks of the river drinking Beer Lao, watching endless reruns of Friends in one of the ubiquitous restaurants or getting high on illegal substances (remember that penalties are harsh when caught).</p>\n<p>Accommodation in this small town is cheap and plentiful. Guesthouses are everywhere and charge as little as 3 dollars per night. Better rooms with A/C and hot water (depending on the season you might need either or both) cost a fistful of dollars more. My premium room at the Gran View Hotel on the riverbank came with A/C, hot water and a splendid vista of the river and mountains, and set me back fifteen greenbacks (only ten dollars for similar rooms without the view).</p>\n<p>Getting to Vang Vieng is quite straightforward. Just book a ticket for a tourist bus or van at a guest house or travel agent (6 dollars, 4 hours); go to the Morning Market bus station and take a public bus (2.5 dollars, 28 hours); go to the pickup (songtaew or shared taxi) station west of the airport (2.5 dollars, 4 hours); or rent a dirt bike near Mekong River and design their own road trip.</p>\n<p>Although this article only focused on Vientiane and Vang Vieng, there are many more interesting places to visit in this welcoming country. Quiet and colonial Luang Prabang (with airport) in the North and remote and relaxing Si Pan Don or Four Thousand Islands (fortunately without airport), in the South are rapidly becoming tourist hotspots. Although they are not exactly off the beaten track anymore, these places are still relatively unspoilt and definitely merit a visit before they become overrun by hordes of airborne tourists. Don’t forget to enjoy the serenity and beauty of the country and turn of your phone for a really relaxing stay. Also, even though the most rural places now seem to offer Internet access, checking your email account twice a day or updating your blog, or Facebook webpage with stories and pictures can really wait a couple of days. Stress and rat race are words which aren’t part of the Lao vocabulary.</p>','','2007-11-30 22:06:12',1,'2007-11-30 22:06:12','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(151,8,'The tools of technology','the-tools-of-technology','Using the internet to improve your English','For students looking for more educational content and online courses instead of authentic materials, a myriad of websites provide free English lessons for all levels, ranging from beginner to advanced, from IELTS preparation to business English, from Pidgin English to skid row slang. ','<p>During the last few months I received several requests for advice from learners of English eager to improve their English skills. In this column, I’ll give a brief overview of possibly useful resources that can mainly be found on the Internet.</p>\n<p>Let’s start with reading. When asked to advise students what to read, I never recommend any novels or other full-length English books to students. In my experience, students who try to read English novels often get discouraged easily, unless their level of English is really good (we’re talking upper-intermediate to advanced here). Buying an 800-page Harry Potter book is usually a complete waste of money if their English is below intermediate. Instead, I’d recommend graded readers for students keen on reading English. </p>\n<p>Graded readers are fairly short English books – often adaptations of real English novels – suited for almost every level. Graded readers usually come in five or six levels, from starter to advanced. I included links to a few of the major publishers’ websites at the end of this article. These sites give a good overview of what’s available and offer free downloads of extra materials (stuff to be used by teachers or students who bought the books). Unfortunately, there are no free book downloads available, but not to worry, as they are very affordable compared to full novels.</p>\n<p>Apart from graded readers which have to be purchased in real shops with real money, there are of course loads of free reading materials available online. The choice is vast, so I’ll limit myself to two of the websites I find particularly useful: www.readbangkokpost.com  and www.student-weekly.com.  Both provide lots of authentic articles and provide a word bank at the end of each article, so there’s no need to waste precious time looking up words in a dictionary.</p>\n<p>On top of tons of reading materials, the Internet provides many other opportunities. To practice listening, just tune in one of the numerous Internet radio stations. The BBC News website (www.bbcnews.com)  – among a plethora of others - provides lots of high-quality news reports and radio shows. This same website also provides authentic video material as well as an abundance of world news. As this is not a learning website, elementary or even pre-intermediate students might find it too difficult though. They should rather visit the part of the site dedicated to education (www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish).  </p>\n<p>Apart from the video footage available on the BBC site, there are many other sites which offer similar services – all for free. For students who prefer a US accent, once ground-breaking CNN and bigoted Fox News are just two American examples of news providers with massive content and good-quality video. </p>\n<p>Other authentic video sources include YouTube and podcasts. Although popular YouTube with its millions of video clips offers the possibility to view and upload home-made clips, I think it has more entertainment than educational value. Podcasts – a kind of video (or audio) clip that can be downloaded and viewed off- or online - are now also widely available on the Internet. Pioneer Apple with its slick iTunes interface offers a fair selection of free podcasts; it is necessary to install the iTunes software though if you want to download and view them (make sure you have broadband as it’s a rather big download). Although podcasts are available straight from several other websites, I still enjoy the tastefully designed Apple software.</p>\n<p>For students looking for more educational content and online courses instead of authentic materials, a myriad of websites provide free English lessons for all levels, ranging from beginner to advanced, from IELTS preparation to business English, from Pidgin English to skid row slang. Australian ABC and Australia Network for example offer very decent educational English content, entirely free. Better@English is another busy site full of useful stuff. </p>\n<p>Although it might seem that the Internet only provides opportunities to practise passive skills (reading and listening), this is not really true. Email, instant messaging programmes, chat rooms, forums and message boards are all wonderful tools to practice writing skills in an informal manner and without the pressure of a classroom environment. </p>\n<p>Moreover, with either an instant messaging programme and a headset or the use of an Internet telephone service (e.g. Skype) at ridiculous prices, learners can now even fine-tune conversation and telephoning skills. Why not talk to your online chat friend or give that anonymous cyber pen-friend a ring?</p>\n<p>I could go on forever about the availability of decent material and opportunities on the Internet, but I won’t. Computer-savvy learners surely know how to use search engines to their advantage and uncover more hidden gems. Make sure to share that knowledge with others if needed. </p>\n<p>Internet links:<br />\nwww.penguinreaders.com  (Penguin graded readers website)<br />\nwww.macmillanenglish.com/readers  (Macmillan graded readers website)<br />\nwww.oup.com/elt/catalogue/general/readers  (OUP graded readers website)<br />\nwww.readbangkokpost.com  (Bangkok Post site for learners of English)<br />\nwww.bangkokpost.com  (the real deal)<br />\nwww.student-weekly.com  (articles for learners of English)<br />\nwww.bbc.co.uk/news  (news, radio, video)<br />\nwww.cnn.com  (news and video)<br />\nwww.foxnews.com  (news and opinionated but good quality video)<br />\nwww.youtube.com  (video)<br />\nwww.itunes.com  (Apple iTunes podcasts)<br />\nwww.podcast.net  (podcasts)<br />\nwww.abc.net.au/vod/education  (educational part of the ABC website)<br />\nwww.australianetwork.com/learnenglish<br />\nwww.betteratenglish.com<br />\nwww.skype.com </p>','','2007-11-01 00:52:30',1,'2007-11-01 00:52:30','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(152,8,'Sightseeing in Bangkok','sightseeing-in-bangkok','Ideas on places to go in the capital','I\'m going to put my tour guide hat on this month and let you in on some well-known tourist attractions and some that are a little more off the beaten track. There has to also be a mention of the dreaded double-pricing system. ','<p>I did some sightseeing in and around Bangkok lately and I’ll share some of my impressions and experiences with you readers in this month’s column. </p>\n<p>Although I had already seen it, I revisited the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Pra Kaew) in the historic centre of the capital on Rattanakosin island; it’s conveniently located within walking distance of Khao San Road, the city’s backpacker ghetto which seems to be modernising rapidly.</p>\n<p>The Grand Palace and the temple are open from early morning to early afternoon (8.30 to 3.30 pm). I have to admit I’m not completely sure of the hours, but I do remember that they don’t close for lunch. Admission is 250 baht for foreigners, free for Thais. Make sure to dress properly or you won’t get in. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are a definite no-no; the rules for footwear have apparently been relaxed as even flip-flops are admitted nowadays. If you’re not properly dressed, you can rent some decent attire inside the palace grounds. It is never closed, so don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise unless you want to become the victim of a scam. </p>\n<p>Tourists visiting the Grand Palace often do so with a guide. However, there is really no need to, as individual tourists can now sign up for two free daily tours, at 10 am and 1.30 pm. I went on the morning one with a local guide called Geoffrey whose English was quite good and easy to understand, which is not always a given in the Land of Smiles. The tour lasted about an hour and a quarter and was completely free; many of the sightseers however – and there were about a dozen – did give Geoff a tip; to his credit, he didn’t ask for one.</p>\n<p>Just a word of advice for the tourists who want to see everything in detail: once the guided group left the compound of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha to go to the Grand Palace, there was no return possible. If you want to photograph everything in detail or spend more time in the temple complex, it’s a good idea to go early, go around on your own, take pictures and then join the free tour. This will give you more time to enjoy your 250 baht entrance fee.</p>\n<p>After the temple sightseeing I was hungry and thirsty and made my way to Khao San Road for lunch. As I walked along the Chao Praya, I saw a new and very nice restaurant where I had a decent masaman curry. I was pricier than on the main drag, but still very reasonable. Although I also wanted to see Wat Pho, I was already knackered so I put that off for the following week.</p>\n<p>Wat Pho is located just behind the Grand Palace and it’s one of the nicest temples in Bangkok. Main attraction inside the temple grounds is the huge Reclining Buddha. It rests in one of the main buildings and is quite difficult to capture in just one snapshot. There is one main entrance for foreigners in this particular building. Thais can also enter it on the side (look for the sign: for Thai people only). Don’t forget to take off your shoes before entering; there are lots of pigeon holes where you can keep them and a donation box for the visitors feeling generous. There was a separate shoe storage area for Thais (again with a sign: for Thais only). Admission to Wat Pho is a very reasonable 50 baht for foreigners (and probably free for Thais as the admission prices were in English only).</p>\n<p>I have to admit that at this point I was getting a bit annoyed with the Thai system of apartheid. Isn’t every man equal in the Land of Smiles? Shouldn’t this be reflected in the admission prices? I’ll get back to this later. Also, do Thai feet and shoes smell like roses? Is that the reason why they can’t be stored together with the tourists’ untouchable shoes? Is it because Thais don’t like queuing that they need a separate entrance?</p>\n<p>Other tourist attractions I visited lately include Dusit Zoo and the Ancient City. The zoo is a nice and relaxing oasis of green, conveniently located in the centre of overcrowded Bangkok and although it isn’t a world-class zoo, it’s definitely worth a visit. Foreigners pay 100 baht to get in, Thais 50 baht.</p>\n<p>The Ancient City or Muang Boran as it is called in Thai, is on the outskirts of the capital and takes a longer journey to get there. High rollers can go by taxi all the way, which would probably cost around 300 baht from the city centre. I wouldn’t recommend public transport all the way because there is no direct bus and you might end up losing a lot of time, but if you take a bus to Bangna, you’re a 100 to 150 baht taxi ride away from it.</p>\n<p>The Ancient City is a big park in the shape of Thailand where replicas of all major tourist attractions – mainly temples and ruins - of the whole Kingdom have been built. It’s an excellent way for people staying in Bangkok for just a couple of nights – or anyone else not knowing what to do and looking for an interesting day trip (like me) - to see what Thailand has to offer. The best way to get around this vast park is by bicycle. Unfortunately, private cars are allowed into the park, meaning that the only people I saw cycling were foreigners, whereas Thais were merrily polluting the air driving around in their air-conditioned vehicles. The entrance fee is 300 baht for foreigners and 100 baht for Thais. Rental fee for bicycles: 50 baht for both Thais and aliens.</p>\n<p>Perceptive readers might have noticed the dual pricing system that is often used in Thailand. Some also call it double pricing or price discrimination, although the former often doesn’t even come close to describing the practice accurately. Thailand is not the only country in the world to do it, but in my opinion that doesn’t really justify it. Tourists don’t like it and long-term expats hate it. It’s often labelled unfair and backward; some would even call it government-backed, daylight robbery. </p>\n<p>Personally, I sometimes don’t really care about paying more. I don’t mind shelling out a fistful of baht to see Bangkok’s amazing temples or a fistful of dollars to see Cambodia’s world-famous Angkor Wat temples or Peru’s breathtaking Machu Picchu. I do object, however, to give another Thai example, to paying 400 baht (about $12) to enter a Thai national park where there is often nothing more to see than lots of trees and a pitiful waterfall.</p>\n<p>In 2006, tourist entry fees for national parks were doubled to 400 baht whereas prices for locals remained unchanged at 20 baht. You read that correctly, foreigners now have to pay twenty times more than locals to go tree-hugging. Instead of raking in more tourist dollars, I wouldn’t be surprised if overall entry fees actually went down in 2007.</p>\n<p>It can get even worse for unsuspecting tourists if they use transportation such as tuk-tuks or private taxis, book daytrips with unscrupulous travel agents or go to restaurants in some touristy areas. Operators of said services aren’t averse to charging unsuspecting foreigners a multiple of the regular price.</p>\n<p>What bugs me most about the above-mentioned tourist scams is that both TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand) and police are more than aware of them, but seem unwilling to do anything to stop these malpractices. It’s about time authorities realised that letting dual pricing continue and not putting a stop to scams is more damaging to Thailand than they think. As people are usually more inclined to share stories about bad experiences than good ones, keeping these practices alive tarnishes Thailand\'s image worldwide. Instead of remembering Thailand as the Land of Smiles, tourists might think of it as the Land-where-you-get-ripped-off-with-a-smile and never come back again.</p>\n<p>Finally, if Thailand really wants to join the club of civilised nations, isn\'t it time they outlawed the dual pricing system? Thailand is a very popular tourist destination, so there must be a lot more creative and satisfying ways to make tourists spend more money. By the way, how would Thai tourists feel if they were asked to pay a double, triple or even higher entrance fee to the Eiffel Tower or the London Zoo? If Thais have enough money to travel to far-away lands, they must surely be rich, so they should pay a lot more than locals, no? </p>\n<p>Even though most Thais defend the policy with the flawed argument that ‘all foreigners are rich’, many seem to realise it is unfair to use price discrimination. Why else would operators and ticket booths use the rarely used (and to tourists undecipherable) Thai numbers for entry fees for locals and ordinary (Arabic) numbers for tourists?</p>\n<p>I do hope readers aren’t put off by this inconvenient Thai truth and still visit the aforementioned attractions because they are worth it. The Grand Palace and Wat Pho are must-see attractions, while the Ancient City and the zoo still offer fairly good value for money, especially if your wallet is full of tourist dollars.</p>','','2007-10-01 00:57:18',1,'2007-10-01 00:57:18','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(153,8,'An inconvenient truth','an-inconvenient-truth','Bangkok environmental issues','Bangkok had its own initiative to reduce global warming a few months ago.

This small-scale, almost insignificant campaign supposedly decreased the amount of CO2 or carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by a staggering 143 tonnes. \n','<p>I watched the Academy Award-winning movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ with Al Gore on DVD the other day. Although I was bit skeptical at first about the much-hyped tree-hugging flick, originally released in 2006, I was pleasantly surprised and didn’t get bored for a minute – quite on the contrary. </p>\n<p>The film is based on the slide show American ex-vice President Al Gore has been giving around the globe since he lost his bid for the US presidency in 2000. Although he had been an environmental advocate long before that traumatic experience, it seems that quitting politics has only fuelled his determination to make the whole world aware of global warming.</p>\n<p>Instead of spoiling the plot for potential viewers, I can only do what Al asked me to do: encourage others to watch his movie. You won’t get bored and might even learn a bit more about the dangers of global warming. </p>\n<p>Although I personally think there are more and other dangers threatening our planet’s future and our very own survival - such as pollution in general, overpopulation, nuclear warfare, etc. – global warming is certainly one of them and people should be aware of its potentially destructive nature.</p>\n<p>Even if it’s too late to stop the Earth from warming up – after all, we have been burning fossil fuels for a long time as if there’s no tomorrow – viewers will get a better understanding of the phenomenon and hopefully change their lifestyles and attitudes. Even if it doesn’t stop global warming, at least it will reduce pollution and the destruction of natural resources.</p>\n<p>---</p>\n<p>Although little seems to be done to combat global warming and pollution in Thailand, it’s not that nobody cares. In her last birthday speech, Queen Sirikit herself urged the Thai population and government to take the utmost care of the environment. She was especially worried about the worsening pollution in the South, the illegal logging of pristine forests nationwide by unscrupulous and greedy individuals and the sad condition of the once majestic Chao Praya River, now on its way to becoming an open sewer due to uncontrolled dumping of waste water and dangerous chemicals by numerous factories. </p>\n<p>As if the environment only matters when the Queen says so, a day later several government agencies and officials vowed to combat illegal logging, pollution and encroachment of national parks and reserves. As if they shouldn’t have been doing this all along - bunch of hypocritical sycophants.</p>\n<p>Her husband, King Bumibon, wholeheartedly agreed and pointed the finger accusingly at large-scale logging operations – both legal and illegal – as the prime culprit for the recurring flash floods in the North of the country. Although the highly venerated King and the Queen have often iterated their concern over the environment, both government agencies in charge of enforcing the law and potential perpetrators seem to quickly forget their promises, the latter often even colluding with members of the former in order to get rich quickly and ensure the destruction of the environment. Let’s just hope the Queen’s wishes come true and that these mafia-style tycoons redeem themselves (‘Fat chance! ‘ is what cynical readers now say or think). </p>\n<p>Bangkok had its own initiative to reduce global warming a few months ago. Governor Apirak called on everyone to switch off non-essential lights from 7 to 7.15 pm one weekday evening. This small-scale, almost insignificant campaign supposedly decreased the amount of CO2 or carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by a staggering 143 tonnes. </p>\n<p>I must admit that I\'m a bit of a sceptic when it comes to believing news reports about reducing global warming, especially when they mention these mind-blowing figures. I always wonder where and how they get their numbers. Does turning off the lights for a mere 15 minutes in a big city really cause such an important reduction? I mean, 143 tonnes is not a small amount. </p>\n<p>For a non-scientist like me, it\'s hard to compare something as esoteric as CO2 in the atmosphere to anything tangible, but if these carbon dioxide particles were solid matter, they\'d fill about seven 20-tonne trucks. Now that’s a huge amount of black dust I you ask me. By the way, I’ve no clue whatsoever as to what colour CO2 is supposed to be, but I have this idea that it’s black, ugly and dangerous (I’m sure some science geek will email me to say it’s really transparent or white). So if this insignificant urban gesture does that much good, why don’t we turn off the lights a bit more often?</p>\n<p>Similarly, I guess it would be an equally good idea to replace all the ancient buses that still run all around the city. As you may know, I\'m referring to the probably more than 40-year old, smoke-belching monsters that are still omnipresent in modern-day Bangkok. They are predominantly red (big buses) and green (minibuses), although other colours exist. Keeping them from the streets or replacing them with new buses would definitely have an enormously positive effect on the air quality in Bangkok and at the same time combat global warming. If there are hundreds of billions of baht available to build new Skytrain and underground routes (an initiative I totally support), then surely there must be some money left to buy new buses? Why wait any longer?</p>\n<p>Also in Bangkok, a solar-powered petrol station opened its doors on August 1 in the centre of Bangkok. Three hundred solar panels mounted on its roof provide electricity for the fuel pumps. Although it’s a very good start, all the hype and fanfare accompanying the opening seemed to have overlooked a few more sobering facts. First, the solar panels can only generate 10 per cent of the electricity the petrol station needs – the remainder being provided by the regular electricity grid. Second, the company has no plans to open more solar-operated stations, given the relatively high installation and operating costs. Finally, I don’t think that many motorists care. Anyway, it’s a very good initiative. Let’s hope the price of photovoltaic cells comes down soon and urge the government to give some incentives to green companies.</p>\n<p>To end with more upbeat news concerning our endangered Mother Earth, I have noticed that many of the newer passenger vans operating in and around Bangkok run on NGV (natural gas for vehicles), thereby joining the huge fleet of taxis that ply the streets and expressways of the capital. Have business operators become aware that saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions is vital for the long-term survival of the planet? Maybe so, although the lower cost of NGV – which sells at about a third of the price of diesel - could be the determining factor for choosing to go green on the road. Don’t let it spoil the fun.</p>\n<p>Should you wonder what I have done personally to keep the Earth cool, I can announce that I am the proud owner of two sets of rechargeable batteries and that I haven’t used the lift in my apartment building since January this year. Although the initial price of rechargeable batteries is significantly higher than disposables, they make an excellent and environmental-friendly investment in the long run. Also, Thailand doesn’t seem to have a system in place to pick up or recycle dangerous waste such as batteries, so they used ones probably just end up in a landfill. As for running up and down six flights of stairs every day, I just consider it free exercise.</p>\n<p>That’s it for this month. If you have any tips or suggestions yourself, don’t hesitate to send them to me. Just to remind you, if you haven’t done so already, don’t forget to rent the ‘Inconvenient Truth’ movie and watch it. Ninety minutes of guaranteed entertainment. If the video store isn’t too far from your house (this probably means less than 5 km for most people and less than 200m for Thais), you could walk or cycle. Burning fat apparently doesn’t contribute to global warming.</p>','','2007-09-01 01:05:11',1,'2007-09-01 01:05:11','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(154,8,'Full-time teacher, part-time thief','full-time-teacher-part-time-thief','Light-fingered shenanigans in the teachers\' room','Don’t start thinking that these highly skilled education professionals resort to stealing luxury cars or become successful pickpockets in busy Bangkok.

In a few cases teachers have even run off with computers, but let’s focus on the issue of disappearing books because that’s my main reason for writing this article.\n','<p>For many foreigners wanting to settle in Thailand, becoming an English teacher is just about the only option when trying to get a job locally. Some foreigners working in the Kingdom have a teaching background; many don’t, but a lot of them have nonetheless become fully or partly qualified teachers. Many Westerners working or posing as teachers have made a dramatic career change; it is not unusual to find teachers in Thailand that were mechanics, welders, bricklayers or even pastry chefs in a former life. </p>\n<p>Wages in Thailand are relatively low compared to what teachers might make in their home countries; hence it’s a very bad idea to assume that because you were a well-paid professional in Farangland, you’ll be able to secure a teaching job paying a similar salary in Thailand. If you want to have a rough idea of what teachers make here, just have a look at the job section of this website. Most advertised jobs promise salaries varying from 30,000 to 45,000 baht ($1 = 35 baht; €1 = 45 baht; ₤1 = 70 baht at the time of writing). The jobs offered are usually teaching positions in either government schools (lower end of the salary range) or private schools (higher end). </p>\n<p>There is another kind of schools where salaries are markedly higher (ranging from 50,000 to more than 100,000 baht) – but where securing a job is a lot more difficult: international schools. The lower end of the salary range is usually paid by schools with a lesser reputation that aren’t that international at all (with sometimes up to 90% or more Thai students), the higher end can be had at the more reputable schools such as Harrow or Bangkok Pattana, just to name a few. </p>\n<p>Getting a job at the latter institutions is a lot harder, as many require prospective teachers to be fully qualified and experienced, often including degrees that would be needed to teach in the Western world such as a B.Ed. and PGCE qualifications. Moreover, the top flight often seems to recruit directly overseas, thus making it harder for in-country teachers to get in.</p>\n<p>Bottom line: the majority of farangs working in Thailand – excluding diplomats and ‘real’ expats – are teachers. Although most of them make a relatively decent salary according to local standards, quite a few have an extra part-time job to supplement their monthly income. The most popular part-time jobs are undoubtedly teaching students privately after hours and working for a language school. For some individuals, even this isn’t enough, so they resort to yet another activity: stealing. Yes, you read that correctly, a number of so-called teachers are actually full-time teachers and part-time thieves.</p>\n<p>Don’t start thinking that these highly skilled education professionals resort to stealing luxury cars or become successful pickpockets in busy Bangkok. It’s much simpler and a lot less lucrative than that: some ‘teachers’ seem to think there’s nothing wrong with nicking books and teaching materials from the schools they work at. In a few cases teachers have even run off with computers, but let’s focus on the issue of disappearing books because that’s my main reason for writing this article.</p>\n<p>A couple of months ago, a number of books – resource packs in particular – started disappearing at the branch of the language school where I work. Although it had never really been a problem before, no fewer than eight photocopiable resource packs vanished into thin air in about six weeks time. The teachers among the readers will know what I’m talking about: those handy books full of photocopiable materials such as Timesaver, Activity Box, Penguin, etc. These materials are very useful to supplement a lesson, popular with most students and require a minimum of preparation time. </p>\n<p>One might argue that it’s half a miracle that they hadn’t disappeared earlier, but let’s dig a bit deeper. The stolen books weren’t originals; they were photocopies (yes, I know we’re supposed to have the originals), stamped front, back and side with the school’s stamp. As a book can be copied for very little money, the monetary value of these books was minimal (less than 100 baht each), but they were invaluable teaching resources. As the branch doesn’t have the originals, getting other copies is doable for some but time-consuming.</p>\n<p>To me, however, it is not just the act of unlawfully taking the books that is reprehensible; more so is the fact that the thief (thieves) deprived his (their) colleagues of the use of these precious materials. On top of that, who in his right mind would want to be seen by others using stolen books? If I saw one of my teachers using materials bearing stamps from other schools, I would immediately catalogue him as a thief and not trust him around the teachers’ room anymore. Are teachers that poor they can’t afford to buy some stuff of their own – or at least copy the school’s resources instead of pinching them?</p>\n<p>In order to give the suspect(s) a little benefit of the doubt, it could be argued that they mistakenly took the books home (yeah right, all eight of them?). I made it clear to the teachers that it wasn’t too late to bring the loot back – even anonymously – and thus redeem themselves. Nothing has happened so far (it’s still not too late, but I don’t count on it anymore). You might think this is just my pet peeve or much ado about nothing. Fact is, however, that this is happening in many schools and I’m sure I’m not the only one being pissed off by this. </p>\n<p>Teachers who misappropriate books or who handle teaching materials with an utter lack of respect (throwing books around, not bothering to replace materials properly, etc.) are a nuisance to their colleagues and bring the very essence of being a teacher and educator into disrepute. Some might say that I’m feeling too strongly about this, but I can’t help myself. </p>\n<p>I think that there should be a number of commandments for teachers. Here’s a possible selection:</p>\n<blockquote><p>1. Thou shalt not steal materials from the school.<br />\n2. Thou shalt not behave like a troglodyte on the school premises.<br />\n3. Thou shalt not imbibe prior to teaching.<br />\n4. Thou shalt teach with or without a hangover.<br />\n5. Thou shalt be punctual.<br />\n6. Thou shalt not be absent unless fatally ill or seriously injured.<br />\n7. Thou shalt be smartly dressed.<br />\n8. Thou shalt not engage in carnal pleasure with students.<br />\n9. Thou shalt do a minimum of lesson preparation.<br />\n10. Thou shalt worship thy head teacher like a demigod.</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>We might need en extra set of rules tailored to the Thai situation. They could go like this:</p>\n<blockquote><p>11. Thou shalt not yell at little Ploy because she’s hiding under the table.<br />\n12. Thou shalt not call little Somchai stupid because he doesn’t understand a word you say.<br />\n13. Thou shalt not hit little Dodo because he’s continually turning off the lights.<br />\n14. Thou shalt not get angry because half of the students aren’t interested in a word you say.<br />\n15. Thou shalt not expect total silence from three dozen children.<br />\n16. Thou shalt not think Miss Porn is hitting on you just because she’s wearing an ultra-short mini-skirt.<br />\n17.

In another unprofessional behavioural quirk, some teachers – luckily a minority - seem to think it is perfectly acceptable not to show up for class without even bothering to call. It should be evident to everyone with more brain cells than a trilobite that unannounced no-shows are highly disruptive for the schools, not to mention totally unprofessional in the eyes of the parents, thus tainting the reputation of other teachers. Although not as much as before, teachers are still fairly well-respected in Thailand. Let’s try to keep it that way.</p>','','2007-08-01 01:19:05',1,'2007-08-01 01:19:05','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(155,8,'My friend he sick','my-friend-he-sick','Frequent Thai student mistakes (part two)','Communicating well in any language just takes some motivation, dedication and a lot of practice. Is this too much too ask to become a proficient speaker? ','<p>This month I’ll highlight a number of possible mistakes using a fictitious (?) conversation between a teacher and a student, followed by some explanations concerning the errors. I didn’t analyse all the mistakes in detail; instead, I focused on a small selection. I think it should be clear by now that with a little improvement in pronunciation, better use of verb tenses and a basic grasp of essential structure, many students’ ability to communicate efficiently could indeed improve significantly. It just takes some motivation, dedication and a lot of practice. Is this too much too ask to become a proficient speaker? Becoming fluent in English is within anyone’s reach; I suppose some students just don’t try hard enough or give up too quickly.</p>\n<p>(S = student; T = teacher)</p>\n<p>S: Hi Teacher, I want to ask you about how can I improve my Englit.</p>\n<p>T: Well, there are different ways to do this. I think one of the best and most efficient ways is to use English as often as possible. Do you have any friends that you can practice English with?</p>\n<p>S: Well, I hab many friend, but they all Thai. I only speak Thai with them.</p>\n<p>T: I see. Do you have any online friends? Do you use the Internet to chat or send email? Maybe you could find an online friend to talk to or write to in English.</p>\n<p>S: Yes, I play computer many time. I play game, check email and chat with friend. My friend are usually Thai but I have friend from Japan too. He not speak Thai, only English.</p>\n<p>T: That’s a good start. Why don’t try to find some more friends? Dor you like to go out and meet people and make friends from around the world?</p>\n<p>S: Yes, I like.</p>\n<p>T: Good, the more friends, the merrier. Also, if you want to improve your vocabulary, it might be a good idea to read for pleasure in English. There are lots of materials available on the Internet and you can buy a wide range of books for language learners, called graded readers, in most major bookshops. Do you like to read?</p>\n<p>S: Yes, I like.</p>\n<p>T: What kind of stuff do you like to read?</p>\n<p>S: I like to read cartoon. But they all in Thai only.</p>\n<p>T: Well, you might want to try some English comic books then. By the way, I heard that your little brother speaks English very well. How come?

You said he was sick.</p>\n<p>S: Yes, he sick and my sister she nigh.</p>\n<p>T: Oh, you’re brother is six and your sister is nine. I see. Why don’t you talk English to them sometimes? I’m sure you’ll improve quickly if you do that every day. It’s not too late yet, but if you want to go to that university in Australia next year, there’s no time to waste. Have you ever been abroad?</p>\n<p>S: Yes, I ever went to Australia a long time ago and I also used to go to London with my family. But I not speak English because I go with my family.</p>\n<p>T: Tell me some more about yourself. It’s a good way for you to practice socialising skills and this is a conversation lesson after all. What do you do in your free time? What do you like to eat? Where do you live?</p>\n<p>S: I lib in a tao hao. In my fee time I go to shopping. I like CenTAN too much. I like to eat fied lie. I also like fith too muth.</p>\n<p>T: Tell me something about your last holiday.</p>\n<p>S: On my last holiday I go to the Mall.</p>\n<p>T: No, no, I mean a real holiday, when you travelled somewhere, to the beach or to another country for example. Where did you go? What did you do? Where did you stay? Who did you go with?</p>\n<p>S: Oh, I go to Pattaya last month. I stay in nigh hotel with my family, in a suit. I sleep a lot. Sometime I play banana boat.</p>\n<p>T: Okay, now why don’t you ask me some questions? After all, a conversation is always two-way street. It’s important to be able to ask questions. What would you like to know?</p>\n<p>S: I no question.</p>\n<p>T: Come on, I’ll give you a few minutes to think of some questions. You can write them down in order to remember them better. Think of questions you could use to get to know someone; you might need those if you ever study abroad.</p>\n<p>(An eternity later)</p>\n<p>T: Okay, let’s hear them.</p>\n<p>S: I make these question.<br />\n• What your name?<br />\n• Where did you come from?<br />\n• Why you come to Thailand?<br />\n• How long you stay Thailand?<br />\n• What you like to eat?<br />\n• Can you eat spicy?<br />\n• What about your family?<br />\n• Do you like dog?</p>\n<p>T: Alright, those are very interesting questions.

I drink many bottom of beer and no have beckfas this morning, only appun. Eckuse me, I hab to go toilet.</p>\n<p>T: Okay, see you next time.</p>\n<p>Feedback for some mistakes</p>\n<p>I want to ask you about (…)<br />\nRedundant. Just ask what you want to ask; there is no need to beat around the bush, just say ‘How can I improve my English?’ If you insist on using it, however, it should be followed by a noun or noun phrase instead of a verb phrase (e.g. I’d like to ask you about ways to improve my English).</p>\n<p>I hab many friend<br />\nCorrect pronunciation of v-sound and final –s would improve clarity significantly. </p>\n<p>He sick<br />\nThere wouldn’t be any problem with this statement if the speaker was talking about someone who’s ill, but there definitely is a problem when the speaker is talking about a six-year old. Thai students (and many teachers) seem incapable of pronouncing the x-sound (actually the final –s sound, to be correct). Try harder!</p>\n<p>I ever went to Australia<br />\nThe word ever is never ever used to talk about a single event in the past, except in a question form (e.g. ‘Have you ever been to Japan?’ or ‘Did he ever tell you he went to Japan?’). Just leave it out, use the word ‘once’ or another time marker (e.g. last year, a long time ago, etc.) instead.</p>\n<p>I used to go to London<br />\n‘Used to’ can only be used when it refers to something that happened frequently in the past (e.g. ‘We used to go to the zoo every Sunday’) or was true for a long period of time (e.g. ‘I used to have a car’). This speaker, however, used it mistakenly to describe an event that happened once in the past.</p>\n<p>I lib in a tao hao<br />\nIf you’re unfamiliar with Thailand, you might not have guessed that the speaker is referring to a town house.</p>\n<p>I like fith too muth<br />\nIt’s almost impossible to like something too much, unless you mean you’re addicted. Speakers should use other expressions such as ‘I like’, ‘I really like’, ‘I love’, ‘I adore’, ‘I’m into’, ‘I’m keen on’, ‘I’m fond of’ etc. Notice also the difficulty some speakers have with the fairly straightforward ending sound –sh and the slightly more difficult –ch.</p>\n<p>I drink many bottom of beer<br />\nThai doesn’t have the ‘l’ as a final sound. Whenever a word ends in –l, the letter is pronounced as –n (e.g. Ubol is pronounced Ubon). Unfortunately, most Thais seem to think that this rule is universal and also apply it to English, thus drinking bottoms (bottles) of beer, eating appun (apples) and shopping at Centan (Central). </p>\n<p>I stay in a suit<br />\nOf course the speaker didn’t sleep on the street in an Armani suit. In Thailand, most local hoteliers seem to call a suite either a suit or a sweet room (sic). </p>\n<p>I hab to go toilet<br />\nCan you believe it? They go TO shopping, but they go toilet. </p>\n<p>A final word of advice to Thai (and other) learners of English: don’t be afraid to speak out, try to speak as clearly and loudly as you can, and repeat what you said if someone didn’t understand you and asks for clarification. All too often, when I ask a Thai student to repeat what they said, they start thinking they made some terrible mistake; they think hard and long and are reluctant to repeat what they said. Please forget about the losing face issue! If you make mistakes in English that means you’re at least using the language; as an added bonus, you’ll learn from your mistakes. By the way, maybe I didn’t understand you because I wasn’t paying attention or a loud noise interfered with what you said.</p>','','2007-07-01 05:58:38',1,'2007-07-01 05:58:38','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(156,8,'I go to shopping','i-go-to-shopping','Frequent Thai student mistakes (part one)','If you\'ve taught in Thailand for any length of time, you\'ll be familiar with these errors. In fact you\'ve probably heard them more times than you care to think about.','<p>In this and next month’s column I’ll give a brief overview of some mistakes that I’ve heard Thai speakers of English make countless times. My initial idea was to put them into different categories, but I gave that up since many mistakes involve a combination of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation errors. Please note that most – if not all - mistakes involve everyday language that could easily be corrected using adequate drills and language practice.</p>\n<p>Where are you come from?<br />\nThe majority of Thais never seem to get this basic question right and consistently mix up the possible questions ‘Where are you from?’ and ‘Where do you come from?’ The above is probably one of the most frequently used incorrect combinations of both, although there are other variations such as ‘Where you come from?’ and ‘Where you from?<br />\nPossible answers to this question are of course ‘I’m from …’ and ‘I come from …’ and not ‘I from …’</p>\n<p>I’m study at university<br />\nWhen speaking about their lives and daily routines, many speakers seem unable to use the present simple correctly. It could be a case of not knowing the grammar rules, but more often than not it seems to be a pronunciation mistake. ‘I’m’ should only be used when using the present continuous (e.g. I’m doing my homework) or when using the verb ‘be’ as predicative verb (e.g. I’m hungry).</p>\n<p>I going to see movie<br />\nPresent continuous or ‘going to’ for the future is also a problem for many. Again, some speakers seem ignorant as to how to form it and when to use it, whereas others just forget to pronounce the helping verb. When having a conversation, listening to the question might help. If someone asks you ‘What are you going to do tomorrow?’, then the obvious answer is ‘I’m going to…”. Be consistent: if the question is in the past tense, the answer should be as well.<br />\nAnother mistake is the omission of the indefinite article ‘a’. In English, nearly every singular countable noun requires an article. For more detailed rules, please consult any decent grammar book (e.g. Murphy, Swan etc.).</p>\n<p>My father work in an offit<br />\nAgain, it’s poor pronunciation that leads to mistakes. Most people know that the third person present simple takes an –s, but it is hardly ever pronounced. Actually, a large number of Thai do anything possible in order not to have to pronounce final consonants. They’re especially creative with the final –s and -ch sounds, leading to ridiculous substitutions such as ‘t’ for ‘s’ in offit (office).</p>\n<p>Have many lestaulant<br />\nSome minimal pairs, in particular the r/l combo, form insurmountable obstacles for some, leading to involuntary mimicry of poor Japanese speakers. Although many can pronounce both sounds individually, using them while speaking proves difficult. Some will even pronounce ‘lorry’ as ‘rolly’!<br />\nOn top of that, many make the translation mistake of substituting the Thai verb ‘mii’ (have) with the English verb ‘have’, even when it’s inappropriate. In this case, ‘have’ should of course be substituted by there is/there are, as in most cases when something is described. Notice again the lack of pronounced final –s in restaurants.</p>\n<p>You want/like American share?<br />\nGoing Dutch is an idiom which is not at all being used in Thailand. Instead, people refer to the agreement whereby everyone pays for their own meal as ‘American share’. I suppose it usually involves sharing the bill and someone might have picked it up in America, but that doesn’t justify the use of this Thai English idiom. Another problem is not using the helping verb ‘do’ when asking a question, as in ‘Do you like…?”</p>\n<p>I go to shopping<br />\nThe hell you do! You don’t go TO shopping, you go shopping. Similarly, if you are Thai you seem to go TO swimming, TO running, TO skiing, TO wherever. This is probably one of the most common mistakes made in Thailand. Although this gets drilled into students at every level, they seem genetically impaired to use this phrase correctly. </p>\n<p>You go only you?<br />\nThere are a few problems with this small sentence. First, there is a problem with the verb form. Present simple is normally used when talking about a repeated action, which is probably not the case here. Second, it’s completely unclear if this question is referring to the past or the future. If it’s the future, it should be ‘Are you going’ or ‘Will you go’; if it’s the past, it should be ‘Did you go’.<br />\nFinally, there’s the ‘only you’ part. This phrase is often used when people really mean alone, by yourself or on your own. ‘Only you’ should probably only be used in Thailand when singing the greatest hit of The Platters.</p>\n<p>Call to me nah<br />\nThere are two mistakes in this polite (?) command. First of all, the verb call doesn’t take a preposition when it means to phone. It should be ‘Call me’. The Thai particle ‘nah’ doesn’t make any sense in English. I assume it’s used as a way to say please or as an interjection which doesn’t have a lot of meaning at all. Anyway, when speaking to foreigners, a more correct way of saying the above would be ‘Please call me’, ‘Call me tonight, will you?’ or ‘Could you call me (please)?’</p>\n<p>So you don’t like cheese? Yes!<br />\nSomething that drives me up the wall when speaking English to Thais is their complete inability to respond correctly to negative questions. As a result, I hardly ever use them anymore. It goes like this during a conversation (T = Thai staff, F = farang teacher):<br />\nT: Student Somchai call to inform that he go to hospital today.<br />\nF: Alright, so he’s not coming to class tonight?<br />\nT: Yes.<br />\nF: Oh, he’s coming to class after going to the hospital?<br />\nT: No.<br />\nF: So he won’t be here then?<br />\nT: Yes.<br />\nF: You mean no, he will not be here, don’t you?<br />\nT: I suppose so.<br />\nF: Just to make sure, is he coming tonight?<br />\nT: No.<br />\nF: Okay, I see, he won’t be here.<br />\nT: Yes!<br />\nF: What do you mean, will he be here?<br />\nT: No!<br />\nF: Okay, whatever, I’m out of here. If anything changes, call to me nah, I mean give me a call.</p>\n<p>As you can see, these kinds of conversations border on the absurd. Remember that when responding to negative questions, the answer should be logical. When this is difficult for learners, they should respond using short answers such as ‘Yes, he will’ or ‘No, he won’t’. Make sure never to use phrases like ‘Yes, he won’t’ or ‘No, he will’. Another way of steering clear from danger is answering ‘That’s right’ when confirming a negative statement.</p>','','2007-06-01 06:04:22',1,'2007-06-01 06:04:22','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(157,8,'Belated April fool\'s jokes','belated-april-fools-jokes','Humorous Thai news stories','You\'ll find it hard to believe but these stories - taken from Thai newspapers - are genuinely true. You just couldn\'t write the script! ','<p>It seems that Thailand is developing quite an interest in the Western tradition of April Fool’s Day. The country’s journalists embraced it so enthusiastically this year that one day apparently wasn’t enough for them. What follows are some news stories that appeared in the news at the beginning of April. Although most, if not all, weren’t published on April 1, one can only assume that the Thai media haven’t got the timing of the practical jokes fine-tuned yet. Assuming the news is real would be hilarious.</p>\n<p>CNS members visit fortune teller<br />\nIn this story, The Bangkok Post actually wanted its readers to believe that the elite of the September 2006 coup makers visited a fortune teller to ward off bad luck and allay their fears that their efforts to tackle the country’s problems could face unforeseen obstacles. Fearless top soldiers were supposedly visiting a soothsayer because they’re afraid of an invisible big bad wolf. Some people even believed this story. They didn’t fool me.</p>\n<p>Pay rise for CNS<br />\nA day later, it was reported that the members of the same CNS (Council for National Security) had awarded a pay rise of no less than 30% to their employees, albeit excluding the top eight senior members. As if this wasn’t unbelievable enough in itself, it got even more incredible when they announced that this raise would the cost the country just a few hundred thousand baht. One surely has to sympathize with the employees and coup makers themselves for willing to do such a frustrating and difficult job for peanuts.</p>\n<p>YouTube temporarily blocked in Thailand<br />\nAt the beginning of April, it was reported that the Thai ICT Ministry had allegedly ordered the access to the popular YouTube website blocked because of a video that was posted about his Majesty the King. The satirical video which supposedly portrayed the monarch as something less than a god and the ensuing shutdown of the popular YouTube website prevented millions of Thais watching their favourite amateur video clips. It definitely smelled like a hoax. Everyone familiar with Thailand surely knows that all Thais, including pets, farm animals and domesticated wildlife, as well as most aliens – both those from other countries and from outer space - have an unfathomable veneration for his Majesty, so mockery of the king is highly unlikely, if not unthinkable.</p>\n<p>In spite of this worship, it seemed that a great number of surfers tried to watch the online smut, in what could probably be called online disaster tourism. The alleged online posting of the spoof video was of course against the will of both the unelected rulers and the three aging spinsters and five mentally disabled prudes that make up the censorship committee. Access to the popular website was supposedly blocked by Thai Big Brother. Again, as there weren’t any major demonstrations of local office workers, one can only assume this was a hoax as watching online videos is an important part of their daily routine.</p>\n<p>There was another censorship story which I initially thought to be true, but couldn’t be unless censors wielding the axe had completely lost their marbles. A well-known film director was asked to cut four scenes from his latest movie in order to get permission to release it in Thailand. The four scenes didn’t exactly show explicit fornication, same-sex orgies, cunnilingus techniques or bestialities; on the contrary, what they allegedly showed was a monk playing guitar, two doctors drinking whisky, a doctor kissing his girlfriend and monks playing with a radio-controlled aeroplane. This gave away the April Fool’s joke because if censors were really that strict, they could just as well order the shutdown of all TV stations, imprisonment of all beer and pretty girls and a medical procedure for all Thai citizens to have their eyes surgically removed from their sockets.</p>\n<p>O-Net scores still unsatisfactory<br />\nIn this story, we were led to believe that the average scores of Thai secondary students that took the O-net test (Ordinary National Education Test, somewhat similar to British O-levels) were so low that untrained simians could have achieved better results. The average Thai student supposedly scored a mere 50% on the Thai language test (Thai is indeed the national language of Thailand, should you start wondering), 37% on English and similar results on Maths, Science and Social Studies. The tests were allegedly all multiple choice and were administered to gauge the knowledge – or rather the lack thereof - accumulated during the first four years of secondary education. I suppose you can see why I made the connection with the abilities of our closest relatives. This has got April Fool written all over it.</p>\n<p>Swiss man gets 10 years for lese majeste<br />\nAlthough hardly reported in Thailand, worldwide media were all too quick to be fooled by the sob-story of a Swiss man who supposedly faced jail time for spray-painting five posters of the Thai king. The Bangkok Post fooled its readers into believing that for doing so, this public enemy could get a 15 year prison sentence. As if this wasn’t enough, they made people believe it was per defaced poster. Simple arithmetic would have put the man in jail for more than seven decades. </p>\n<p>In a spoof video clip that surfaced on some news websites later, the man was seen wearing leg shackles while he was supposedly being led to the local courtroom. It was reported that he had already been held for more than three months in some stinking upcountry oubliette and been denied bail. Apparently, the newspaper realised that a 75 year jail sentence would be too outlandish for readers to believe, so they subsequently reported that the man had been sentenced to only 10 years in the slammer. </p>\n<p>The story had April Fool written all over it, but nobody seemed to realise it. Not only are even child molesters and serial killers treated better in the Kingdom, also using a muzzle and handcuffs instead of leg shackles would have been more credible tools to prevent the man from voicing his contentious opinions. Realising they took the joke too far, it was reported a few weeks later that His Highness himself had pardoned the poor bugger. I wonder who was behind this actor’s antics to discredit Thailand in this elaborate hoax.</p>\n<p>AoT to help with compensation costs<br />\nAlthough there were many more half-hearted April Fool’s Day joke attempts, let me finish with the story that wanted readers to believe that the Airports of Thailand (AoT) agreed to help with compensation costs for citizens exposed to harmful levels of aircraft noise following the opening of the Pride of Thailand, namely Suwannapum airport. </p>\n<p>The April Fool’s joke wasn’t really detectable in the amount of 736 million baht (about 20 million dollar) paid by AoT to alleviate local residents’ inconveniences, which was an acceptable figure. However, the story went on to report that the government supposedly approved a fresh study last November in which the total compensation costs were set at no less than 121.5 billion baht (about 3.5 billion dollar). Surely everyone with more than half a brain can see that this has got to be a joke. Not only is the above mentioned multi-billion baht figure almost as high as the price of the airport itself, it is also enough to buy the whole province of Chiang Mai, burning bushes causing haze included. Paying that amount to so-called locals would probably mean that said residents get a compensation for their swampland that equals the price of prime plots in the centre of Bangkok.</p>','','2007-05-01 06:11:36',1,'2007-05-01 06:11:36','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(158,8,'Songkhran getaways','songkhran-getaways','Escaping the heat and the madness','Songkran officially lasts for three days, from April 13 (Friday) to April 15 (Sunday), although many people start celebrating early and finish late.

Here are some ideas on where to go.','<p>In a couple of weeks, many foreigners will try to get out of Thailand temporarily in order to escape what most have come to see as an ordeal: the Songkran Festival, a.k.a. the Thai New Year or the Water Festival. If you don’t have any clue what Songkran is about, you can find more information about the festival itself and the way people celebrate it in one of last year’s columns (Water Wars, May 2006).</p>\n<p>Songkran officially lasts for three days, from April 13 (Friday) to April 15 (Sunday), although many people start celebrating early and finish late. If throwing water and being doused several times a day is not your cup of tea, it might be a good idea to flee Thailand for a week or so. Here are some ideas on where to go.</p>\n<p>First and most obvious, you could do as I will be doing this year, which is going on a long overdue family visit back home. Actually, I don’t consider the Old Continent home anymore, but just an expensive holiday destination. Staying with family and friends will thankfully lessen the damage the price of an airline ticket will do to my budget.</p>\n<p>Less expensive alternatives are available as well of course. Unfortunately, most neighbouring countries are also into the water hysteria. Laos has its own Phi Mai, Cambodia its Chaul Chnam and Myanmar its Thingyan festival. These are all festivals similar to the Thai Songkran festival, so these places are to be avoided if escaping from water madness is your goal.</p>\n<p>To the South of Thailand lies Malaysia. The nearest interesting destination is probably the island of Penang, with its historical Georgetown and Penang Hill as main attractions. There are some beaches and worthwhile temples to visit as well. One could definitely stay here for a few days without getting bored. Air Asia flies daily to Penang and fares are low. Another nearby possibility is Langkawi, a sizable island with sandy beaches where one can forget all the water misery. I haven’t been to Kuala Lumpur myself, but I guess it’s a safe bet if you’re into city trips and shopping. Singapore is probably a good alternative as well.</p>\n<p>Moving just a little bit further from Thailand are Vietnam and Indonesia. Although Vietnam as a whole is a bit too crowded to my liking, I really enjoyed a three-day tour in the Mekong delta a few years ago. Just go to any travel agent in the backpacker quarter of Ho Chi Minh City to book this interesting tour for a ridiculously low price (I remember paying 25 US dollars for 3 days a few years back). If you’re into history, Hanoi provides some nice monuments and museums such as Uncle Ho’s mausoleum as well as the possibility to try out a dog restaurant (i.e. not a place where you take Fido to lunch, but a place where you have Fido for lunch). If you fly to Hanoi, you could go on a daytrip to the Perfume Pagoda (temple on a hill among beautiful karst scenery) or a two-day trip to Halong Bay. The latter is a wonderful experience, although I got a bit annoyed by all the floating rubbish when I was there. Better visit it before it’s completely destroyed.</p>\n<p>If you’d like to visit the world’s most populous Muslim country, Indonesia, going to Bali is the most popular destination. Many visitors seem to like it, although I think it’s nothing more than a tourist trap. Sumatra would be my first choice, with relaxing towns such as Bukit Lawang (meet the orangutans up close at the rehabilitation centre), Tuktuk on the island of Samosir (in the middle of Lake Toba) or Bukittinggi (nice scenery and worthwhile daytrips) as the main draws. Alcoholics needn’t worry; local Bintang beer is readily available and fairly priced. Sumatra can be reached by ferry from Penang (Georgetown to Medan) or air (fly to Medan or Padang).</p>\n<p>Other Asian getaways include China and the Philippines. There are different possibilities when going to China. Keep in mind that a visit to China doesn’t necessarily have to include megacities like Beijing or Shanghai. The South-West of the country has a lot to offer as well. Unfortunately, the province of Yunnan is to be avoided as locals are into water throwing as well.</p>\n<p>I have personally never set foot in the Philippines, but I’ll definitely go there one day. Although the country seems to have a lot to offer, I have the distinct impression that the local flesh trade in particular still draws quite a number of tourists. Don’t be surprised if you bump into your Pattaya or Bangkok drinking buddy while visiting.</p>\n<p>Japan and South Korea are other possible destinations, albeit much more expensive ones than all of the aforementioned places. They’re still on my wish list as well.<br />\nBy the way, if you’d like to visit a Western country, why not visit Australia? Sydney, Melbourne, Alice Springs (Ayers Rock), Cairns (Great Barrier Reef) are all great places with lots of things to see and do. Unfortunately, having a good time there will cost an arm and a leg compared to the average Asian getaway. </p>\n<p>The list of getaways is endless, so I’ll stop here. I think I covered the most obvious choices, although there are many more. Egypt is fantastic, yet quite affordable, for example. India is a vast countries with lots of possibilities. By the way, if you’re stuck in Thailand but still want to escape five days of water misery, going to Hua Hin might be what you need. The people there seem to get their Songkran celebrations over with in just a day (for more information on Hua Hin, read my August 2006 column).</p>\n<p>I hope I gave all of you readers some inspiration on where to go if staying in Thailand during Songkran has become too much for you. More practical information is available on the Internet. I’m not a travel agent, so I didn’t provide timetables or prices in this column as these change all too often. Just remember that regional travel is usually convenient and fairly cheap thanks to budget airlines, although fares can go up a bit during the high season. Book as far in advance as you can. Alternatively, some of the discussed destinations can also be reached overland.

The English language including all of its regional varieties, such as Australian English and Indian English, is known as world English.</p>\n<p>The Little Book of World English – Oxford University Press</p>\n<p>How many words are there in English? Major dictionaries usually have between 80,000 and 120,000 entries, but there are many more words – up to one million according to some calculations. This is due to the abundance of synonyms, the large vocabularies used in science, computing, medicine and other specialised fields of study, and the above-mentioned world English. Not to mention slang and idioms.</p>\n<p>Thanks to the regional oddities that have developed over the years, English is not only the language with the most extensive vocabulary; it is probably the language with some of the most unusual words as well. Depending on the location where they live – and the age group or (sub)culture they belong to – people often give new meanings to old words and create new words in addition to existing ones.</p>\n<p>Take for instance the verb to die. It has an infinite number of synonyms such as decease, demise, depart, drop, expire, go, pass away, pass (on), perish, succumb, pop off, check out, croak, kick in, kick off, bite the dust, breathe one\'s last, cash in, give up the ghost, go to one\'s grave, kick the bucket, meet one\'s Maker, pass on to the Great Beyond, turn up one\'s toes etc. Most if not all of these are considered general English. An example of world English could be the Australian expression cark it, which also means to die or stop functioning. </p>\n<p>Have a look at the sample sentences below and see if you know any of the regional words used. Some are easy, some are impossible to guess.</p>\n<p>Indian English<br />\n• Abba, who is a babu, likes our ayah because she runs to chacha when we’re out of aloo. </p>\n<p>abba: a father<br />\naloo: potatoes<br />\nayah: a woman whose job is caring for children, doing domestic work, etc.<br />\nbabu: a person who works in an office<br />\nchacha: 1 an uncle; 2 a male cousin of your father; 3 a male friend of your family</p>\n<p>Canadian English<br />\n• The band council members were having moose milk and poutine on the Chesterfield, discussing the price of hydro and mulluks. </p>\n<p>band council: local form of Aboriginal government in Canada<br />\nChesterfield: any type of sofa<br />\nhydro: electricity<br />\nmoose milk: 1 an alcoholic drink made by mixing rum with milk; 2 any strong alcoholic drink which is made at home<br />\nmulluks: high soft winter boots that are traditionally made with the skin of seals<br />\npoutine: a dish of French fries with cheese on top, usually served with sauce</p>\n<p>Australian English<br />\n• The daggy chook lived in the back of Bourke with her illywhacker hubby; she had a bad case of tall poppy syndrome because they didn’t even have an indoor dunny and had to use an Esky in winter. </p>\n<p>back of Bourke: a long way from coasts and town, in the Outback<br />\nchook: 1 a chicken; 2 offensive word for an older woman<br />\ndaggy: 1 not fashionable; 2 untidy or dirty<br />\ndunny: a toilet<br />\nEsky: a bog or box which keeps food or drinks cold and which can be used for a picnic<br />\nillywhacker: a person who tricks other into giving him or her money<br />\ntall poppy syndrome: the fact of criticising people who are richer or more successful than others</p>\n<p>South-African English<br />\n• Gogo only needed boerewors and dop to joll. </p>\n<p>boerewors: a spicy sausage<br />\ndop: an alcoholic drink<br />\ngogo: a grandmother<br />\njoll: to have fun</p>\n<p>Scottish English<br />\n• The gillie’s bonny lass started crying because her neeps and tatties were getting cold while the eejit was having a wee deoch and doris. </p>\n<p>bonny: very pretty<br />\ndeoch and doris: a last alcoholic drink, usually whisky, before you leave<br />\neejit: idiot<br />\ngillie: a man or boy who helps somebody who is shooting or fishing for sport in Scotland<br />\nneep: a swede<br />\ntattie: a potato</p>\n<p>West-African English<br />\n• A been-to in a wrapper was selling garden-eggs. </p>\n<p>been-to: a person who returns to his or her home in Africa after studying, working, etc. in a foreign country<br />\ngarden-egg: a type of aubergine/eggplant<br />\nwrapper: a piece of cloth that is worn as an item of clothing around the waist and legs</p>\n<p>East-African English<br />\n• Wananchi, among them many mzees, were dealing with shauri on the shamba, holding pangas.</p>\n<p>mzee: an elder<br />\npanga: a knife<br />\nshamba: a small farm or a field used for growing crops<br />\nshauri: something that needs to be discussed or causes a problem<br />\nwananchi: people</p>\n<p>Please let it be clear that these sentences are very artificial and will probably never be used as such, but that is not the point. The point is that people from different places or cultures often use very different words for the same concept. It’s once again proof that English has become the language of worldwide communication and consequently doesn’t belong to the Queen of England anymore. </p>\n<p>People use language as a means of communication. In order to be able to speak a language fluently, one needs – among other things – a good knowledge of everyday vocabulary. Do the above-mentioned words represent basic vocabulary? Probably not, unless you live in one of these places where this local variety of English is used on a daily basis. If you don’t, there’s really no reason to start learning all these strange words, unless it’s for fun.</p>\n<p>What kind of English should students learn? British or American? Maybe Australian or South-African English? According to me, this is really a non-issue. It doesn’t matter what kind of English Asian students learn; as long as they attain a decent level of fluency and proficiency in any kind of English, they’ll have achieved their target. Travelling or traveling? Humour or humor? Airplane or aeroplane? Nobody notices when you speak and hardly anybody cares when you write. By the way, teachers who are overly strict when it comes to these differences have got their priorities completely wrong.</p>\n<p>I’d like to add one final comment, unrelated to the use of world English. In my opinion, it is only useful to learn a language if you intend to use it. Adults shouldn’t start learning English unless they need it for professional or personal purposes. People who do so anyway are hardly ever good at it. If you have to use English for oral communication, i.e. conversation, you should practise speaking English as often as possible. The same goes for writing, reading and listening. Just taking lessons without ever actually using English in the real world will get you nowhere. </p>\n<p>For young learners the situations is a bit different. With English being a world language, it gets increasingly more important to be proficient in English in order to secure a good job. Learning English is really an investment in their future. Unless they dream of becoming a rice farmer or motorcycle taxi driver, studying English could really benefit them in the long run. The key for youngsters in order to become good English speakers is of course their motivation; they shouldn’t learn and regurgitate the language like a caged parrot, but rather use it in daily life whenever possible. It sounds logical, but in a non-English speaking country, this is easier said than done.</p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed some of the words and sentences I used. Please forgive me for the probable mistakes I made – usage as well as well as typos; I should really get a proof-reader one of these days. </p>','','2007-03-01 06:22:14',1,'2007-03-01 06:22:14','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(160,8,'The academic debate','the-academic-debate','Does a degree make a good teacher?','Now what if a teacher has a degree, but no teaching certificate? Would that be okay? Probably. What about having just a teaching certificate and no degree? Maybe. What about no qualifications at all but a lot of experience? Possibly. And finally, what about schools hiring people with no qualifications whatsoever and no experience, would that go well? There’s the odd chance that it might, but I doubt it. ','<p>There has been some heated debate lately about the question whether having a degree makes someone a good teacher. Many unqualified teachers have vented their frustration using letters to the editors and various message boards, claiming that what makes a good teacher is not a degree, but qualities such as dedication, enthusiasm and a good understanding of the local culture, just to name a few. This controversy was of course sparked by a tightening of the rules by the Thai Ministry of Education (MoE) lately and the recent arrests of a couple of foreign teachers who used fake degrees to secure a teaching position. Just to make it absolutely clear, the teachers referred to in this article are foreign teachers of English, unless stated otherwise. The degree mentioned would be a B.A. or higher, as this is the MoE minimum requirement.</p>\n<p>This article doesn’t aim to explain all there is to know about the existing MoE rules and regulations and the possible modifications that are either in the pipeline or have already been put in place. Let’s just say that in an ideal world the MoE would apparently like teachers to have a four-year degree in education or any other university degree plus a teaching certificate (TEFL, CELTA, TESOL etc.). In the real world however, there seem to be a lot of differing rules, not always consistently applied by the officials in charge. Sometimes one even wonders if the ministry officials know the rules themselves. Anyway, are these kinds of new rules too strict in a country where the average teacher makes roughly 1,000 US dollars? Is this why some resort to fake degrees and can this practice be condoned? Are devoted, long-term teachers without a degree being short-changed by this new course of policy-makers?</p>\n<p>One could argue that a teacher with a degree is a good teacher. A teacher with a degree and a teaching certificate is better, and a teacher with a degree, a teaching certificate and experience is the best. Let’s just hire the latter ones then. If only it were that easy. There are many aspects apart from teaching qualifications that come into play when schools hire teachers; offered and expected salary and perks, location of the school, extracurricular duties, life expectancy of the teacher, looks and fashion awareness and so on. Often, schools just hire what they can get without being overly zealous when inspecting a prospective teacher’s qualifications. Technically, many schools are probably breaking the law, but what can they do if they want to hire a Western teacher and pay peanuts? Obviously, many schools aren’t too happy with the MoE’s new and stricter stance.</p>\n<p>Now what if a teacher has a degree, but no teaching certificate? Would that be okay? Probably. What about having just a teaching certificate and no degree? Maybe. What about no qualifications at all but a lot of experience? Possibly. And finally, what about schools hiring people with no qualifications whatsoever and no experience, would that go well? There’s the odd chance that it might, but I doubt it. </p>\n<p>On the other hand, teachers who do have the needed paperwork and even experience are not necessarily good teachers. Being a good teacher is more than just having the right qualifications. Being enthusiastic, flexible, patient, inspiring, interesting to listen to, emphatic and not resting on your laurels is just as important as that framed piece of paper that may hang on your wall. Teacher observation (both by head teacher and peer-to-peer observation followed by feedback) is a good way of improving one’s teaching and getting some fresh ideas. Of course observation only works if at least one of the parties is qualified. It’s not a good idea to have the blind lead the blind.</p>\n<p>Of course this is Thailand, and for Thais, only one thing counts: having a degree. Thais themselves can hardly get any worthwhile job if they don’t have a university degree. By the way, I’m not talking about taking up a managerial position; even ordinary secretaries need a B.A. </p>\n<p>If we believe the adage that a degree is all that matters to be good at what you do, surely the Thai teachers of English must be doing a hell of a job. They all have B.A. or M.A. for sure. So why aren’t Thai students better at English if they have such qualified local teachers? Let me shock outsiders by saying that the majority of Thai teachers can’t even count to ten in English. I’m not talking about the concept of basic arithmetic, but the pronunciation of these easy numbers in conversation. Ask any Thai – teacher or student – to count to ten and this is what you will most likely hear: one, two, tee, four, figh, sick, sewen, aye, nigh, ten. </p>\n<p>Looking on the bright side, they don’t have any problems with one, two, four and ten. Bottom line is, if even teachers can’t get basic pronunciation right, there’s something really rotten in the state of Denmark. Everything being relative, the fluency and proficiency Manolo, jobless waiter from Columbia, Yuri, high-school drop-out from Eastern Europe and Eli, beach bum from the Middle East suddenly seem more than acceptable when offset against local teachers’ skills.</p>\n<p>I don’t want to highlight local teachers’ poor skills any further and I would like to point out that a number of them are dedicated and try hard to improve themselves, but it’s apparently not enough. More training is definitely needed for them; if not by native speakers, then at least by speakers with a very good proficiency in English. Teachers are role models who are mimicked by students, so modelling correctly is extremely important. </p>\n<p>Thai teachers of English may be good at the ancient grammar translation method and ramble on and on in Thai about how and when to use the past perfect, but it should be clear by now that those skills are virtually worthless in today’s world. Being able to communicate clearly and fluently in a globalised society is what students need, hence the current need for foreign conversation teachers.</p>\n<p>It is crystal clear that the Land of Smiles desperately needs a master plan in order to better education, especially but not only in the field of English. Isolated measures that reek of witch hunts against sometimes well-intentioned farang teachers are probably not the best way to start. Although I wholeheartedly agree that there should be minimum standards in order to take up teaching in Thailand, I fear that flushing out the lesser teachers first without having any clear idea on how to replace them isn’t the best-advised policy. </p>\n<p>Also, even though some existing teachers might not meet the new criteria, some of these individuals surely have proven to be loyal, reliable and quite good at what they do in the schools they work for. Many of them have a Thai spouse, a family and a home in Thailand. Although I am not in their situation, I wouldn’t want to snub them and leave them out in the cold. Surely there must be some alternative for them in order to get qualified without facing the punishment of job loss and deportation.</p>\n<p>There is a lack of decent English teachers in Thailand. Raising standards for would-be teachers is very good idea and one I support completely. However, if nothing is done about the average class size in government schools and the salary remains low, I guess we’ll be back to square one in no time. What good is to attract an Oxbridge graduate and subsequently have them teach a class of 50 unruly students? Remember that class size is inversely proportional to the learning that goes in a classroom whereas salary is proportionate to the quality of teachers that apply for a position. If Thailand wants to continue paying teachers a lot less than the leading Asian countries, attracting more non-native, non-farang but proficient teachers might be a solution.</p>\n<p>Some wannabes without degree graduate from the Khao San Road University in a matter of hours. Other online alternatives exist, such as the lifetime experience degrees offered by a wide variety of online universities and delivered in less than a week to all and sundry who are willing to sacrifice around five hundred greenbacks. Although some schools have been doing it, I don’t think condoning or even encouraging teachers to get fake degrees is the solution to the problem. Neither is raising admission standards to a ridiculous level compared to the modest salary most teachers are paid in Thailand. So what is the way out of this morass? </p>\n<p>I don’t have a perfect, ready-made solution, simply because I think there isn’t one. In my opinion, some kind of qualification should be required for all teachers, because after all they work with young people and will always leave an imprint on them, for better or worse. Is asking for a university degree and a teaching certificate over the top? Not when it comes to international schools, but it might be for the lesser fortunate teachers who work in other private or government schools. Would a secondary school education in combination with a decent teaching certificate be enough for them? Maybe. Why not use international tests such as TOEFL or IELTS to determine the level of English proficiency for non-native speakers and the Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT) for everyone?</p>\n<p>Cooperation of all schools, recruiters and middlemen is also vital. If they don’t follow the rules and make fresh-off-the-boat newbies believe that anyone can teach in Thailand, we’ll always be stuck in this dead-end street. Finally, it is important that schools recruit the best teacher for the job, not the best-looking teacher. Although teachers need to have a lot of qualities, I don’t think race, age or religion should be among them.</p>','','2007-02-01 06:26:55',1,'2007-02-01 06:26:55','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(161,8,'Thailand 101','thailand-101','101 things you perhaps didn\'t know','The first column of 2007 (or 2550) is a collection of cultural trivia for people unfamiliar with Thailand.

I limited myself to 101 items. Feel free to send in your own bit of knowledge. </p>\n<p>Did you know that?</p>\n<p>1. For Thai people the concept of gaining or losing face is extremely important.</p>\n<p>2. Displaying or showing off one’s wealth will result in respect from others.</p>\n<p>3. People often spend more money on their car than on their house.</p>\n<p>4. Half of the world’s luxury goods are sold in Asia.</p>\n<p>5. Public display of affection – except for holding hands - is largely still a taboo.</p>\n<p>6. Teachers traditionally get a lot of respect.</p>\n<p>7. Foreign teachers are usually considered the clowns of the school.</p>\n<p>8. Students behave when studying with a Thai teacher; this behaviour is usually the result of fear.</p>\n<p>9. Corporal punishment – although outlawed - is still common in many schools.</p>\n<p>10. Students often misbehave when studying with a foreign teacher.</p>\n<p>11. Foreign teachers are often frustrated by the way Thai administrators run things.</p>\n<p>12. Communication between Thais and foreigners is often crippled due to insufficient language skills from Thais and lack of cultural understanding from foreigners.</p>\n<p>13. Getting angry results in loss of face – for yourself primarily – so conflict is to be avoided at all times.</p>\n<p>14. Thais will never really understand foreigners.</p>\n<p>15. Everything has to be ‘sanuk’, i.e. fun, in Thailand.</p>\n<p>16. The sanuk-attitude might be one of the reasons why students often perform poorly in schools.</p>\n<p>17. Thais get bored very easily.</p>\n<p>18. The rainy season usually starts in June and ends in October. </p>\n<p>19. Many Thais seem to think that you can master English in just 50 hours of tuition.</p>\n<p>20. Students don’t like doing homework.</p>\n<p>21. Women want their skin to be as white as possible.</p>\n<p>22. Dark-skinned people are looked upon with disdain.</p>\n<p>23. People enjoy putting salt in their orange juice.</p>\n<p>24. Thais seem to think that all foreigners dislike spicy food.</p>\n<p>25. Thailand is often referred to as the LOS (Land of Smiles).</p>\n<p>26. Fast food has become big business in the LOS.</p>\n<p>27. Never before have there been so many obese people in Thailand.</p>\n<p>28. Thais smiles are usually genuine.</p>\n<p>29. Thais even smile when they are pissed off.</p>\n<p>30. Thais are completely puzzled why foreigners enjoy lying on the beach and getting a suntan.</p>\n<p>31. Many Thais like swimming in the sea – usually fully clothed. </p>\n<p>32. Foreigners will never really understand Thais.</p>\n<p>33. Thailand is still mainly a society of haves and have-nots.</p>\n<p>34. The middle class is making a strong comeback in the big cities.</p>\n<p>35. Most farmers have replaced buffaloes by tractors.</p>\n<p>36. You should never believe anyone who claims they need money because the family buffalo is sick.</p>\n<p>37. Transvestites are very common in Thailand.</p>\n<p>38. Cross-dressers are sometimes hard to spot for newbies.</p>\n<p>39. These so-called ladyboys always dress like a lady, usually sport an above average bosom but seldom have their crown jewels removed.</p>\n<p>40. Ladyboys are gainfully employed as sales staff or hairdressers and hardly ever frowned upon by locals.</p>\n<p>41. All Thais love their ‘somtam’ or spicy green papaya salad, a national dish which is definitely an acquired taste for foreigners.</p>\n<p>42. Foreigners are called farangs or falangs by Thais, originating from the word for French. Nowadays farang refers to Westerner.</p>\n<p>43. Most Thais don’t pronounce the ‘r’ when speaking, but replace it with the letter ‘l’.</p>\n<p>44. Chances of finding a teaching job increase exponentially when you are white-skinned.</p>\n<p>45. Sad but true, the highest rated quality for teachers is often appearance; for Thai recruiters, race, skin-colour, age, gender and ‘look’ in general are more important than say experience and flexibility.</p>\n<p>46. Thai primary and secondary school students cannot fail exams; if they fail, the teacher has to make the test easier or drill the answers into students before they retake it.</p>\n<p>47. Quite a lot of expatriate farangs become somewhat cynical after having lived here for a number of years.</p>\n<p>48. Employees are never allowed to criticise their superiors’ opinion; even offering constructive remarks or personal ideas are taboo.</p>\n<p>49. Thailand was rated 63rd in the 2006 worldwide graft survey.</p>\n<p>50. Saving money for a rainy day is a concept which is alien to most Thais.</p>\n<p>51. Thai women forgive but never forget.</p>\n<p>52. Thais have an amazing ability to catnap anywhere, anytime; put them on a crowded bus in a noisy street and they’ll still fall asleep after a few seconds.</p>\n<p>53. Most Thais are fanatic supporters of English Premier League football clubs.</p>\n<p>54. Many Thais love gambling, so the national lottery is hugely popular but just about the only legal option; betting on sports events, playing card games or going to a casino are all forbidden and operators have gone underground or abroad.</p>\n<p>55. Many locally married foreigners met their sweetheart in a naughty bar.</p>\n<p>56. Marrying a Thai girl means marrying her whole extended family; moreover, for Thais family always comes first.</p>\n<p>57. There are no retirement homes in Thailand and few people benefit from a retirement pension; children are supposed to take care of their elders. </p>\n<p>58. A considerable percentage of mixed marriages end in failure.</p>\n<p>59. The preferred national pastime is going shopping.</p>\n<p>60. Compared to other countries in the region, Thais’ proficiency in English is poor.</p>\n<p>61. Thais love their air-conditioning; often it is turned so low that it seems they’re trying to cool down the planet.</p>\n<p>62. When going out to dinner, it is customary for the senior member to foot the bill.</p>\n<p>63. Among younger people, going Dutch is becoming more popular; they call it ‘American share’ though.</p>\n<p>64. Thais love to put sugar in and on their food. Even salad cream contains up to 25% of it.</p>\n<p>65. A lot of married Thai men seem to have one or more mistresses; amazingly, most wives seem to resiliently accept these ‘mia noi’ or ‘minor wives’ or get involved with a ‘gig’ (close boyfriend or girlfriend) themselves as divorce is not very common.</p>\n<p>66. Huge massage parlours catering to locals can be found just about everywhere and business is brisk.</p>\n<p>67. Prostitution is legally forbidden in the Kingdom.</p>\n<p>68. Soy milk is extremely popular, cow’s milk isn’t; locally produced cheese simply does not exist.</p>\n<p>69. Imported goods are invariably expensive, so going local is an excellent way to save money.</p>\n<p>70. Teenagers and adults alike still think The Eagles and John Denver are hot.</p>\n<p>71. Thais like their music so loud that talking becomes almost impossible without shouting; using earplugs when going out is probably a good idea if you don’t want to go deaf.</p>\n<p>72. It’s ridiculously cheap to get a tattoo; getting rid of one supposedly costs an arm and a leg though.</p>\n<p>73. Women – both young and old – often have a rather childish sense of fashion compared to Western norms; it’s not unusual to see a woman sporting a Doraemon T-shirt, Hello Kitty watch and Mickey Mouse bag.</p>\n<p>74. Female university students prefer their white blouses so tight that it looks like most of the buttons are about to pop off; unfortunately, they hardly ever do.</p>\n<p>75. It is common to see middle aged people offer their seat to perfectly healthy children when using public transport.</p>\n<p>76. It is not uncommon to see children behave like spoilt brats.</p>\n<p>77. Foreigners cannot buy property in Thailand, except for condos.</p>\n<p>78. Banking rules and regulations often tend to be complicated and xenophobic; most banks buy foreign currencies but almost none sell them.</p>\n<p>79. King Bhumibol of Thailand is the longest reigning monarch on the planet; he celebrated his 79th birthday in 2006 and has been on the throne for 60 years now.</p>\n<p>80. The King is revered as a god and prostrating (i.e. lying face down at someone’s feet in worship) for all members of the royal family is considered normal.</p>\n<p>81. The usual Thai greeting is the so-called ‘wai’, a prayer-like gesture accompanied by a bow of the head; the more respect you want to show (or the more ass you want to kiss), the deeper the bow.</p>\n<p>82. Although the Thai Chinese community only accounts for a small portion of the population, it controls most of the country’s wealth and influence.</p>\n<p>83. Thailand is becoming ever more popular as a medical tourist destination.</p>\n<p>84. Apart from cheap plastic surgery (e.g. face lift 825 USD, breast enlargement 1,125 USD), heart and organ surgery seems to be in rising demand as well. </p>\n<p>85. If you’re a bloke, you can have yourself turned into a woman for as little as 1,625 USD without any questions asked. (Quoted prices are from possibly the cheapest clinic in town)</p>\n<p>86. Thailand is considered to be one of the safest places to travel.</p>\n<p>87. Although Thailand is cheap, business proposals that seem to good to be true usually aren’t (e.g. the gem scam).</p>\n<p>88. Teaching is the most popular profession for foreigners living in the Kingdom.</p>\n<p>89. Although the majority of teachers are dedicated to their job, a number of midnight cowboys continue to give teachers a bad reputation. </p>\n<p>90. Showing up late, phoning in sick, being unprepared or unqualified, and doing a runner are probably the most common problems with teachers.</p>\n<p>91. The Ministry of Labour issues a very short list of jobs that foreigners are allowed to do; basically, if a job can be done by Thais, foreigners are banned from doing it so forget about becoming a taxi driver or shopkeeper.</p>\n<p>92. Foreigners can legally own maximum 49 percent of a company; setting up your own company thus involves handing over ownership to trusted Thai companions or working with nominees, which is technically illegal. </p>\n<p>93. Living and working in Thailand is completely different from holidaying in the LOS.</p>\n<p>94. Newbies often claim that they “have fallen in love with this wonderful country and want to spend the rest of their life here” after a two weeks’ holiday.</p>\n<p>95. Newbies should think twice before selling all their stuff, moving out here and giving up their plumbing career in their home country.</p>\n<p>96. It is safe to drink beverages with ice and eat at roadside restaurants.</p>\n<p>97. Gold is a common commodity in Thailand; buying and reselling gold jewellery is done every day by people needing money or wanting to spend it.</p>\n<p>98. A prolonged stay in the Kingdom, especially Bangkok, can be detrimental to one’s physical health due to high levels of air pollution; it might also affect one’s emotional and financial well-being.</p>\n<p>99. If you want to visit a county where the average girl is pretty, sexy, slim, friendly, smiling and helpful, don’t waste any more time and come to Thailand.</p>\n<p>100.

The problem a teacher can encounter during an English lesson in Asia is that these books are not always culturally suitable for the learners. ','<p>When people start learning English they usually have a goal in mind. For most learners this goal is to become proficient in the language of Shakespeare. While becoming a fluent speaker is probably the most important objective for most students, textbooks usually integrate the four skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. This is only logical as there can hardly be any speaking without listening, nor writing without reading. The two former skills are necessary for just about everyone, while the latter ones are especially useful for young learners planning to study abroad and professionals who need to do a lot of reading and writing in their job.</p>\n<p>Let’s have a closer look at textbooks. When teaching English, teachers usually use a course book. For many classes, especially the ones targeting young learners, this course book comes with a workbook or activity book, in order to give students some additional practice. If students only want to focus on conversation, a course could be taught without course book; however, I think that having one usually gives more structure to the lesson and makes it easier for the teacher to prepare a lesson. Starting from scratch gives teachers a lot of freedom to tailor a course exactly to the students’ needs, but also involves more lesson preparation. </p>\n<p>There are a lot of excellent books on the market; most of them are produced by major publishers such as Oxford, Cambridge, Longman and Macmillan. The problem a teacher can encounter during an English lesson in Asia is that these books are not always culturally suitable for the learners. Although many of them try to implement world culture into their approach, all too often there are cultural references which simply don’t make sense for Thai learners. I’ll give some examples later, but first a word about the role of English as a foreign language.</p>\n<p>I don’t really want to discuss the small differences between EFL, ESL, TESL TESOL and other acronyms because I don’t think it really matters. True, it is important to know where the students of English come from and where they are located. Teachers use a slightly different approach when teaching Asian students in an English speaking country compared to Asian students studying in Asia. In the former situation, introducing English culture, American, Australian or even South African culture into the language lessons can be really interesting and relevant to the students. However, if teachers try to teach irrelevant English culture in an Asian classroom, they will only complicate matters for both themselves and the students.</p>\n<p>Just to make it absolutely clear, I think that introducing cultural elements into an English lesson can be very rewarding and give learners a different and broader worldview, but it shouldn’t be a must. The English language doesn’t belong to England or America anymore. I support the view that English has become a global language - a worldwide commodity so to speak - that can be taught without all the cultural strings attached. I think it would be a lot better for local students to focus on the use of English to talk about their own country and culture instead of the country where the course book was written. Why should a Thai student be able to explain what steak and kidney pie is when they will never have the opportunity to see or taste one?</p>\n<p>If course books focus on the traditions and culture of the country where it was made, Asian learners of English will be puzzled by a wealth of materials that are completely alien to them. Here is a brief list of examples where culture can interfere with relevant language learning.</p>\n<p>o Food: Have you ever used a book where the characters eat cottage pie or flapjacks? Quite difficult and rather senseless to explain what those are, especially knowing that most students don’t even know the English names for the most popular Thai dishes such as fried rice, noodle soup, spicy papaya salad or sour lemongrass soup.</p>\n<p>o Festivals: I don’t think many Thais will get overly excited when a teacher is telling them about Bonfire Night or Thanksgiving. Making students talk about festivals they actually celebrate themselves will definitely stimulate them to talk more.</p>\n<p>o Religion: In a lot of books there are references to churches and sometimes even the odd cathedral. Why not include a temple instead or a mosque instead? Or even better, leave out religion completely as I don’t really see what it can contribute to language learning.</p>\n<p>o Geography: Course books will often focus on the geography of a country and this approach can give students a broader worldview. Knowing where Ben Nevis is or what the Appalachians are, is a different matter though and not really relevant for many learners.</p>\n<p>o Sports: Why are books full of locally unknown or unpopular sports such as cricket, American football or even curling? Thais would probably be more interested in badminton, Thai boxing or krataw (similar to volleyball, but played with the feet and a small rattan ball, a kind of cross between football and badminton).</p>\n<p>o Famous places: Instead of teaching about Trafalgar Square or Mount Rushmore, I suppose an English lesson about the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha would be more useful.</p>\n<p>o Weather: All course books seem to assume that everywhere on Earth, there are four seasons. Sorry guys, but spring, summer, autumn and winter just don’t fit into Thailand. Here we have the hot (or dry) season, the rainy (or wet) season and the cool season. Southern Thailand doesn’t even have the latter.</p>\n<p>Here is a short classroom conversation showing what can go wrong if books have irrelevant content.</p>\n<p>= After a reading exercise about Christmas =<br />\nTeacher: So children, did you like the Christmas story?<br />\nLittle Somchai: Yes teacher, but I don’t know what is turkey.<br />\n(Class guffawing or giggling now and saying ‘tur-kii’ to each other repeatedly; by the way, ‘tur’ is some kind of pronoun meaning ‘you’ and ‘kii ’is brown and smelly)<br />\nTeacher: You mean you don’t know what a turkey is. A turkey is a big bird people traditionally eat at Christmas. It’s like a big chicken.<br />\nLittle Somchai: What is Kitsemas pudding?<br />\nTeacher: It’s some kind of cake people eat at Christmas. It’s dark brown, sweet and it has got raisins in it. Sometimes people put cream or custard on it.<br />\nLittle Somchai: What are raisins, sir?<br />\nTeacher: Well, you know, they are dried grapes that have become very small and sweet. They sell them in every supermarket. Ask your mum to buy you some.<br />\nLittle Somchai: What is cream, sir?<br />\nTeacher (starting to get a little annoyed): That’s some kind of thick milk people use to cook or put on cake or apple pie. Costs a bloody fortune in Thailand.<br />\nLittle Somchai (persisting): What is pie, sir?<br />\nTeacher: That’s the same as cake.<br />\nLittle Somchai: And is custard the same as mustard, sir?<br />\nTeacher (getting exasperated as the lesson isn’t really going as planned): Yes, it’s exactly the same; it’s just not as yellow. </p>\n<p>I really think that Thais should be able to talk about their own country and continent in English. Ask any Thai student to tell you what in English Thailand is like and what it has to offer and the answer will be probably be a blank stare. The better students might tell you that “Thailand have many beautifool place, have tom yam and somtam that very delicious and you must go to see Wat Phra Kaew”, but that’s as good as it gets for the average student. None of this makes sense to someone who hasn’t been in Thailand of course.</p>\n<p>So how can this situation be remedied? In my opinion, international publishing houses should be persuaded to market a local edition of their popular course books or – if that’s not possible – at least market some kind of more “neutral” international edition, where most irrelevant cultural references are removed. Encouraging Thai education authorities or Thai publishers to design their own books will only lead to disaster. Just have a look at all the locally produced textbooks. They are either full of grammar and spelling mistakes, they are always unattractive and they don’t integrate the four skills; instead they focus primarily on grammar. Thus, going local is definitely not an option. </p>\n<p>The aforementioned international publishers have infinitely more resources and qualified editors. Local publishers will never be able to compete and produce top-quality books that are accompanied by good audio and the necessary supplementary materials. Will this ever happen? I think it might, as I’ve recently seen a course book series that has an Asian edition. Changes don’t happen overnight of course and until all major publishers start doing this, I guess teachers will have to continue to supplement course books and skip irrelevant passages, something I hope most of us have become good at.</p>','','2006-12-01 02:12:38',1,'2006-12-01 02:12:38','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(163,8,'Thai news','thai-news','It\'s funnier than comedy','Latest news before this article goes online: the government will agree to compromise and raise the age for buying alcohol to 20, instead of the planned 25. Cheers!','<p>Thais love comedy shows and vaudeville. True, they love their soap opera, but comedy – always the slapstick kind – has got to be number two. I’m not really into that kind of humour. Not only because it’s broadcast in Thai without subtitles, but also because I prefer a more subtle kind of humour. Luckily for me, following the news in Thailand can be as rewarding as watching comedy shows. The daily news is often dominated by a motley collection of characters that act unconsciously as comedy actors and are even funnier, especially to foreigners. I would define the humour they bring as the absurd kind. Here are a few of last month’s stories; I’ve added some comments. By the way, my main source for local news is the Bangkok Post, both paper and Internet version. I occasionally read The Nation and also watch the TV news in English on Channel 11, every weekday around 9.30 p.m. </p>\n<p><b>Rising student illiteracy prompts special student exams</b></p>\n<p>The Office of the Basic Education Commission apparently has plans to revive the National Test to gauge illiteracy of Prathom 3, Prathom 6 and Mathayom 3 students. The test hasn’t been given since 2003 but there has been a flood of complaints claiming that students graduating from Prathom 6 (last year of primary school) are illiterate. </p>\n<p>It appears that even for some Thais the farce of graduating without proper grades has been going on for too long. They claim that if Thailand needs to take action immediately to remedy the abysmal situation in many schools. The article in the Bangkok Post mentioned however, in true Thai style, that even if the test was reinstated, results would not be taken into account as criteria for admission for Mathayom 1 and 4. I can’t say I’m surprised. It’s a given that saving face by letting utter morons graduate is more important than making sure that students are at least able to read and write before entering secondary school. Who cares anyway if students can write and write? They surely don’t need those skills to take exams, as all students receive passing grades anyway, no matter how poorly they score on the tests. </p>\n<p>Surely this plan will be shelved, because the new Education Minister called admission exams for Mathayom unequal, stating it would violate student rights during their nine years of mandatory education. He claimed admission at the basic education level should be open to everyone who wants to learn. Now who can deny the logic of this man’s statements? It is obvious to me that all Thai students, especially those with extremely poor grades, are willing to learn, even if they aren’t even able to read and write at the age of twelve. Let’s focus on the positive aspects of these underachievers. Although some are illiterate, most are able to speak and have basic conversations, albeit using a vocabulary of no more than three dozen words.</p>\n<p>The Education Ministry is also preparing to ask the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration to build more secondary schools to meet the growing number of students in the capital. Some schools had tried to solve the problem by extending class sizes, but this didn’t work. The minister said that classes of up to 60 students adversely affected teachers and would eventually downgrade education quality. Come on, give me a break. What’s wrong with putting 60 students in a classroom? Even if they’re not learning anything, they’ll still graduate and – just to put the dots on the i’s – that’s all that matters, isn’t it? I’d put 100 or more in a classroom if I was in charge. It might bring down the energy bills.</p>\n<p>I wonder why policymakers are making this U-turn concerning the improvement of education now; after all, this is a situation that’s been going on for decades. I suspect some of the staff of the Ministry of Education must have known this for a long time, given the presumably high literacy level and excellent critical thinking capabilities of all the officials in charge. As to why nobody spoke up before and exposed these flaws, the answer is clear. Never make constructive criticism nor offer suggestions to one’s superiors are still some of the ultimate commandments carved in stone on the work floor. And rightly so. We can’t have subordinates thinking for themselves and offer their wisdom to improve a situation, can we now? </p>\n<p><b>Deputy PM says airport is embarrassing</b></p>\n<p>The new deputy PM claimed the new Suvarnabhum airport was an embarrassment for the country. He blamed the rush to open the airport for its poor services and stressed the need to rebuild its reputation. He said that although the airport and its hardware are considered world class, its facilities are not.</p>\n<p>It is a fact that the rush to open to airport had everything to do with ousted PM Thaksin desperately wanting to gain lots of face and subsequently exploit this in order to win the then upcoming elections. After the Sep. 19 coup, the coup leaders gave the airport authorities the go-ahead, probably because the scheduled opening was only a week away.</p>\n<p>The new government now seems to face facts and acknowledge the airport isn’t the best in the world after all. Where did they get that idea? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this fantastic airport. It’s definitely the best in the world, no matter what critics say. All the criticism about teething problems and not being fully prepared are simply false. </p>\n<p>Let’s just have a look at what the new deputy PM wants to be done ASAP. He ordered 200-odd extra toilets to be built inside and outside the airport. This is preposterous. The multi-billion dollar airport, which can handle up to 45 million passengers a year, already has no less then 12 toilets. This is surely enough. After all, there are toilets aboard every plane. Instead of criticising the possible foul smell and the negative image this would cast on Thailand, the deputy PM should welcome this aroma as it gives all newcomers an idea of what narrow back alleys smell like in the Orient. There’s surely nothing wrong with that.</p>\n<p>The Transport Minister on the other hand promised to make sure the planned rail link would be completed as soon as possible. Okay, I see his point, but let’s not forget the airport already has some bus lines and taxis taking passengers to the city centre and vice versa. Who cares that the rail link won’t be finished before the end of the decade if there are buses and taxis? The fact that some buses are rather decrepit and that many taxi drivers tend to overcharge just adds to the experience. At one point during their journey through Thailand, tourists will likely get crammed in an ancient bus anyway. As for being scammed just minutes after setting foot in the land of Smiles, this will only improve people’s awareness of some characters’ ill intentions towards Western millionaires. </p>\n<p>By the way, the overcharging taxi drivers are just a minor pain in the backside for newbies. There are after all a lot more dangerous scams that have been going on for years such as the 20-baht tuk-tuk rides (aka Lucky Buddha Day rides), the gem scams and the overcharging travel agencies around Hualampong train station, just to name a few. The Tourism Authority of Thailand must have received thousands of complaints about these scams by now, but nobody seems willing to weed out these malpractices. I’m not really surprised. I mean, if you were a high-ranking official or policymaker, would you want to take action against these scams if this could put half of your extended family out of business? </p>\n<p>The latest development in the airport saga is that a few taxiways and a number of parking bays are closed for repairs due to uneven surface and cracks in the tarmac. This is of course nothing out of the ordinary. The airport has been open for almost a month after all.</p>\n<p><b>Cabinet proposal concerning alcohol advertising and sales put on hold</b></p>\n<p>In an effort to make himself remembered forever after, the new Health Minister launched a proposal concerning alcohol. He must have had a good look at some statistics which made him conclude that alcohol is a major cause of unwanted trouble such as road accidents, family problems, financial misery, juvenile crime, unwanted pregnancies and a number of serious diseases which could adversely affect Thailand’s health care budget (e.g. heart failure, stroke) and tourism income (e.g. liver cirrhosis, erectile dysfunction).</p>\n<p>His solution to the alcohol problem was simple: ban all alcohol advertising and raise the age at which people can legally buy alcohol from 18 to 25. There has been a lot of discussion in the media about the viability of these plans and many have criticised the possible backlash they might have on the country as a whole. The most commonly mentioned negative effects were related to advertising income, employment, law enforcement and tourism. Let’s have a closer look at these.</p>\n<p>Economically speaking, advertising agencies will probably lose billions of baht in yearly revenue if this ban comes into effect; by the time you read this, it might already have come that far because the ban is likely to be approved. There have been international studies linking alcohol consumption to advertising and I’m sure there is some truth in them. Less advertising should lead to less drinking. It sounds somewhat plausible. </p>\n<p>However, will this work in Thailand? It might backfire if the Minister of Finance doesn’t kick some sense into his officials in charge of excise taxes. Believe it or not, Thailand has a system that taxes beverages with a low alcohol percentage higher than the ones with a high one. Beer – and most imported liquor I suppose – gets slapped with a high excise tax and becomes subsequently rather expensive, whereas locally produced firewater escapes with a very low excise tax. This local ‘lao khao’, or rice whisky as it is called, is the main staple of people wishing to drink themselves into a stupor at low cost before driving their car or motorbike home. There is of course no advertising at all for this type of alcohol. It’s easy to predict – unless you’re an alcoholic with diminished brain power - that the ban won’t have any effect here, </p>\n<p>On the employment side, some analysts estimated that as many as 30,000 beer girls could lose their job when the advertising ban comes into effect. Beer girls are the sexily dressed eye candy that hovers around in pubs and restaurants making sure customers drink the right kind of beer. They usually wear skimpy outfits emblazoned with the logo of the company they are promoting. This job loss would of course be a real shame, for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. What are we supposed to do in bars or restaurants when there’s nothing left to stare at? What can we do when these goddesses are no longer there? Look at each other and talk? Come on! </p>\n<p>By the way, some people have been confusing beer girls with bar girls when expressing their grieves by means of letters to the editor. The latter girls are a different breed altogether. Beer girls just promote one particular brand of beer; promoting their brand and refilling customers’ glasses is all they do. Bar girls on the other hand, even though they may stimulate the intake of alcohol into customers, don’t care which brand you drink, as long as you drink. They don’t sport any advertising on their clothes. Contrary to the beer girls, the main merchandise bar girls sell isn’t alcohol, it’s themselves. I suppose they’ll be immune to the new regulations, unless the new Health Minister plans to ban tobacco as well once he learns that most of these girls ‘smoke’.</p>\n<p>Let’s have a look at the plan that will likely be shelved: the ban to sell alcohol to people under the age of 25. A week or so after the announcement of the plan, some cabinet members including the PM started having doubts. They wondered about the enforcement of it and some saw trouble lying ahead with the constitutional court. After all, the age of adulthood in Thailand is 18. From then on, people can drive a car, get married, vote, and so on. Wouldn’t the alcohol ban constitute a violation of their rights? I was surprised. Since when are Thai citizens’ constitutional rights taken seriously?</p>\n<p>Anyway, it’s a fact that many of the so-called adults behave very irresponsibly. I wonder why the government didn’t just plan to raise the age of adulthood, given the fact that scores of adults act very immaturely. I’m not really sure if 25 would be the right age to become adult; it might still prove way too early for some. Maybe there should be some kind of test to determine if someone is mature enough to become an adult. But then again, what’s the use of exams if no one can fail? And while we’re at it, why not impose a blanket ban on the sale of fast food, cigarettes, petroleum products, chocolate, computer games and mobile phones, all of which can have disastrous effects on both individual health and the environment.</p>\n<p>Let’s move on to law enforcement. It should be clear to everyone by now that Thailand has a number of laws which – if enforced – will make the Kingdom a safer place to live in. Drink driving laws, laws regulating the sales of alcohol to minors and the access to entertainment venues, even absurd laws regarding the times when alcohol can be purchased; they are all in place. The big problem probably lies in the lax enforcement of said laws. Therefore, local authorities are now going to take what is to them the most logical step in order to curb alcohol abuse and the related misery: make more laws. As a long-term guest in the Kingdom, this sounds logical to me. After all, who cares if laws are enforced or not? If we can have more laws, by all means, let’s have them. This can only be regarded as excellent news for the people involved in law enforcement; more tea money is surely coming their way.</p>\n<p>Finally, a word about tourism. Contrary to what most observers think, I claim that this proposed law could have had a positive effect on tourist numbers. Just think of all those worried parents who oppose their offspring’s plans to see the world and discover new cultures. They surely wouldn’t have to worry anymore about their young sons and daughters becoming alcoholics in the Land of Smiles. I admit that there could have been a backlash concerning the young visitors whose primary concern when travelling is getting drunk as quickly as possible, but if we look at the bright side, they surely would have saved lots of cash on Alka Seltzer and have had more time to do some sightseeing instead of staring at the inside of a toilet bowl.</p>\n<p>Just to end on a positive note: the plan to ban alcohol sales to people under 25 would at least have earned Thailand a mention in the Guinness Book of Records, if nothing else.</p>\n<p>Latest news before this article goes online: the government will agree to compromise and raise the age for buying alcohol to 20, instead of the planned 25.

First there was the much debated change in visa regulations, with the main actors – victims just doesn’t sound right – the long-term residents without a proper visa who do monthly border runs. New visa regulations – if they are really enforced starting 1 October – will limit the number of consecutive visas on arrival to three, well actually to 90 days of stay within a 6 months’ time-frame, no matter how many stamps your passport sports. More information can be obtained on the Ajarn Forum or other websites such as www.thaivisa.com. What seemed to be a major cleanup in order to get rid of unwanted individuals, amongst others teachers working illegally in the Thailand, lost a great deal of its effectiveness when I read somewhere that tourist visas would still be readily available for those willing to spend lots of time in the Kingdom. Instead of putting a stop to the border run carousel, immigration might just have given the green light to start the visa run carousel. The latest news is that embassies could start to get very finicky when issuing non-immigrant B visas. The situation will probably get clearer in a couple of months.</p>\n<p><b>Coup d’etat</b><br />\nThen there was the coup on 19 September, a non-event that the majority of Thais apparently welcomed with open arms, if we may believe most opinion polls. The military finally decided that caretaker PM Thaksin had overstayed his welcome because he had caused unseen division in the country, muzzled or intimidated the press, got Thailand into debt with his populist policies and did anything but do away with corruption and nepotism. Although a military coup is definitely undemocratic, I agree with one of the Bangkok Post’s editorials saying that this was a step backward in order to be able to move forward. Mr Thaksin’s arrogant and snobbish attitude and his Bush-like “it’s my way or the highway” approach couldn’t last forever. His overwhelming support in the North and Northeast seems to have vanished as quickly as it appeared five years ago. Could the fact that these rural people know that handouts will surely stop and their rent-a-crowd services won’t be needed anymore have anything to do with it? Thaksin should have seen it coming, but didn’t. Good riddance, I suppose.</p>\n<p><b>Suvarnabhum airport</b><br />\nThe new airport has finally opened. After more than four decades of planning and building, one would think that’s not a minute too soon. Well, think again. Although most of the facilities are finished or in the final stages of construction, there were some glitches on the first day of operation. Fortunately they were said to be minor, such as an overload of the computer system, remedied by issuing boarding passes manually, inadequate signage, which caused some passengers to get lost in the huge terminal, and a lack of taxi drivers willing to drive to the new airport without overcharging. Getting to the airport is said is a piece of cake, thanks to the mass rail link, which is due to open in two years if all goes well. Minor problem as I said. Unfortunately, there also seemed to be some more structural problems, such as a lack of toilets and a leaking roof. Incredible when you think this is supposed to be a brand new, state-of-the-art building. Let’s just hope all these inconveniences are remedied soon. Good luck, Suvarnabhum (please notice that I omitted the final letter – an i - from the official transliteration Suvarnabhumi, as it is not pronounced).</p>\n<p>That’s it for current events. Let’s get to this month’s main story, which is not about visa regulations or politics, but about missing persons. Well, one missing person in particular actually. </p>\n<p><b>Where is Brian?</b></p>\n<p>Thailand is a beautiful place. Thousands of foreigners, many among them teachers, have made it their home. Lately some commentators have noticed however that more and more of these foreigners, or ‘farangs’ as they are locally called, are meeting their maker in the Land of Smiles. It wouldn’t be disturbing if they started pushing up the daisies because of natural causes such as heart failure, stroke, alcohol poisoning, STDs or traffic accidents involving motorbikes. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a growing number of foreigners seem to receive a helping hand in kicking the bucket. Getting help while falling of balconies, being stabbed or shot during a brawl or just old-fashioned premeditated murder are gaining popularity as a means to quickly lay hands on a Westerner’s wealth or get rid of an undesirable individual. A number of farangs just disappear and are never heard of again. This month’s column describes my own search for a missing teacher.</p>\n<p>Brian Sterenberg was one of the weekend teachers whom I hired in May this year. He already had a weekday job but was looking to make some extra cash. He worked a full weekend and always showed up early before class. During the short time I knew him he never called in sick or failed to show up. Until Saturday 22 July. That day Brian failed to show up and didn’t even bother to call. The school and I tried to contact him, but to no avail. His mobile phone seemed to be turned off. He failed to show up the next day as well and we haven’t seen him since. He hasn’t even claimed his last salary. What happened to Brian?</p>\n<p>Let’s go back to the Sunday before his disappearance, July 16. That day around noon, he received a phone call at the school urging him to return home because of some water problem at his apartment. I haven’t a clue if it was flooding or a leaking pipe, but off he went and I filled in for him in the afternoon. I tried calling him that Sunday evening to see if everything was all right but I couldn’t get through. His phone seemed to be switched off. I tried later that week but same scenario. </p>\n<p>Because Brian was incommunicado during that whole week, I didn’t really expect him to show up the following weekend and I was proven right. By that time there were some rumours flying in the teachers’ room about him having gone to America to either see a family member or start a new job. By the way, Brian’s Irish but he had mentioned having an uncle stateside to some of his colleagues and the possibility of getting a new job there. Nevertheless, I thought it was quite unlike him to do a midnight run without informing me or claiming his last salary. This was the man who’d call me three weeks in advance to announce that he’d be unavailable on a certain day because of some seminar he had to attend.</p>\n<p>Anyway, another week passed during which I repeatedly emailed Brian asking him to give me at least a sign of life. When that failed to return any results I asked a Thai staff member to contact the school where he worked on weekdays. His weekday employer informed us that he failed to show up there without giving notice on the Wednesday 19 July, apparently without claiming any of his salary as well. </p>\n<p>I couldn’t find a phone number of his apartment building near Pinklao, so I finally contacted the Irish embassy. A few days later I got a reply informing me that they hadn’t had any contact with Brian. Back to square one. I thought about contacting Immigration to find out if he’d left the country, but I didn’t have a copy of his arrival card, so I put it off. In the end I asked one of the Thai staff to help me explain the situation to Immigration. Although the only thing I wanted to know was if Brian had left the country, the immigration official on the phone refused to release any information, claiming that the matter had to be reported to the police first. He was probably anxious to go on his lunch break and it is difficult to offer a small bribe through the phone.</p>\n<p>A colleague of mine reckoned that Brian was probably alright because if not, his family would surely have contacted us or the Irish embassy. Although I had to admit he had a point, I couldn’t put the matter to rest. I put a message on the Ajarn forum concerning Brian’s disappearance, but I didn’t get any useful replies. </p>\n<p>Then I decided it was time to play detective myself. I got a hold of Brian’s application form and CV with photo and went looking for his apartment. I knew it was in the Pinklao area, but unfortunately there was no soi number on the form. I contacted someone living in the area and was able to narrow it down to just a couple of sois. Armed with a map and a copy of his CV I took a bus to Pinklao. Would he still be there or would he have checked out? And if so, were did he go?</p>\n<p>I set off early on my day off and a couple of buses later I was at the Central Pinklao shopping mall. I ventured in some of the sois near the mall, but I couldn’t really pinpoint any big apartment buildings. I asked around, but nobody was able to help me. Then I went back to Central Pinklao and had an idea. I asked one of the motorbike taxi drivers if they knew where the Bangkok Noi Apartments were situated. </p>\n<p>Most of them didn’t seem to understand or weren’t willing to earn a fare, but one of them told me he’d take me to Bangkok Noi Village for the princely sum of 20 baht. I later found out that he’d overcharged me, as the set fare was only seven baht. Never mind. It wasn’t very far. After a minute we reached the end of a soi were Bangkok Noi Village was situated. It looked quite nice really.</p>\n<p>I approached the reception desk, or least what I thought was the reception desk, but wasn’t. Two watchmen were just sitting there poking their noses lazily. I asked them if they knew Brian and showed them a copy of his passport photo. They immediately recognised the face and starting gibbering to each other in Thai. The first one told the other to make a call to a room. Brian’s room number was 846, but I definitely heard the men talk about khao-suun-chet, which means 907, and I think I also picked up the word faen, meaning girlfriend. Were they about to call his girlfriend and have her come downstairs to explain the situation?</p>\n<p>My hopes were dashed as they didn’t get any answer. I suppose the alleged girlfriend was out shopping. They then directed me to the real reception desk. Three women in uniform greeted me perfunctorily. They too recognised the photo, but couldn’t answer most of my questions. The only thing they could tell me that made sense in English was ‘move out, move out’. When I questioned them when or if they knew where he’d gone too, they couldn’t tell me but from their gestures I deducted he’d moved out a long time ago.</p>\n<p>So that’s it. The plot didn’t thicken but reached an anticlimax. I think I’ve explored almost every possible avenue. At the time of writing though, now more than two months after his disappearance, the question remains: Where is Brian? A colleague of mine again tried to reassure me by repeating that his relatives surely would have been in contact by now had anything untoward happened to him. I suppose so. There’s also the possibility that he simply doesn’t want to be found, for whatever reason. Finally, he might have become the victim of a crime or an accident. Was he involved in a hit-and-run accident and were his unrecognizable remains cremated? Was he murdered because he gave a tuk-tuk driver who tried to overcharge him the finger once too often? Did a jealous girlfriend take revenge? Remember that insulting or offending someone is considered serious enough by many rural or uneducated people to severely beat or even kill someone.</p>\n<p>I’ve kept this article rather vague as to where exactly Brian lived, where he hung out, where he worked and who his friends were. I did this partly because I simply don’t have all that information and I don’t want to invade too much of his privacy. People who know him will surely recognize him by the facts mentioned in this article. If any of you have relevant information, feel free to share it with me. This is not a witch hunt; it’s just one worried farang looking for another.</p>','','2006-10-01 02:25:42',1,'2006-10-01 02:25:42','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(165,8,'Rubbish!','rubbish','Please keep Thailand clean','If you ask yourself what this article is doing on a teaching website, it’s because I’m convinced that we should start teaching our children a lot more about all kinds of pollution and instil in them more respect for the environment.

It has become a very important industry in its own right. Now I’ve got nothing against colourful boxes, wrappers or even bags, but lately the sheer amount of disposable packaging material has got me worried. Not only is it a waste of precious resources, it is only a major contributing factor to the ever-increasing environmental pollution. In this article I’ll be the green guy and expose some of the problems Thailand and, truth be told, the rest of the world faces in this respect.<br />\nThe column will go beyond environmental pollution though and also address other forms of pollution such as noise, visual and intellectual pollution.</p>\n<p><b>Environmental pollution</b><br />\nPeople who often do the shopping in Thailand will have surely experienced this problem. Going shopping in Thailand means that you’ll come home with an incredible amount of plastic bags. I went to the supermarket the other day and spent the very modest sum of just under 200 baht (5 USD). The groceries and household supplies I bought were bagged in no less than six plastic bags. The problem was that he supermarket’s bagger – incidentally, a job that’s long been extinct in various Western countries - didn’t really go overboard because I had purchased that many items, but apparently because he had secret instructions forcing him to use as many bags as humanly possible whenever serving a customer. </p>\n<p>I won’t go into detail and bore you to death as to what exactly I bought or for which items he used separate bags, but let it be clear that he could have used less than half the amount of bags without inconveniencing me one bit. Most if not all bags will of course end up as rubbish on a tip or – worst case scenario – will be dumped anywhere along the road and because plastic is non-biodegradable, pose a threat for fauna and flora forever after. What good is it to have great, idyllic beaches and beautiful national parks only to find them full of litter when you visit them? By the way, I remember a photo at the Sydney Aquarium with the heading “Most dangerous killer in the ocean”. At first I couldn’t identify the strange creature, but then I realised it was a plastic bag.</p>\n<p>There are of course a lot of other materials that end up as rubbish such as polystyrene or Styrofoam (called ‘foam’ in Thailand) containers, disposable cutlery, straws, cans, bottles, etc. Some of these are recycled, usually not by consumers themselves, but by an army of refuse collectors and underprivileged people who try to scrounge a living by collecting and selling recyclable materials. Bottles, both plastic and glass ones, and cardboard are supposedly good earners for them. I sometimes wonder why most bottles sold in retail stores are disposable. Many drinks which come in disposable plastic bottles or cans (mainly soft drinks) and disposable glass bottles (mainly beer) could easily be sold in reusable bottles. I’m not an expert, but I assume that reusing bottles is cheaper and uses less energy than recycling (as reusing bottles only involves rinsing whereas recycling bottles involves crushing them and using the pieces to produce new bottles).</p>\n<p><b>Visual pollution</b><br />\nI’ll leave my plastic bag and bottle obsession for now and go on to visual pollution. By that I refer to all the ugliness around you when going somewhere. Bangkok is a big city that is not only polluted, it is downright ugly. You can find innumerable ugly buildings, run-down neighbourhoods, narrow and crumbling pavements next to hi-tech shopping malls full of ugly billboards. </p>\n<p>There seems to be a lack of building regulations as people are building and expanding cities at a breakneck pace without clear regulations as to what they can and cannot do. I’m pretty sure there are lots of rules and regulations, but I suppose they are either inadequate or not being enforced. All of this results in a helter-skelter and seemingly unplanned growth, not to mention the often poor quality of construction work because builders are often forced to meet impossible deadlines or use substandard materials.</p>\n<p>Real eyesores are the exposed, overhead electrical wires. Whereas in most developed countries these are put consistently underground, Thailand or rather the Thai government seems to think that this isn’t necessary. I know there are plans to put some of Bangkok’s electrical cables underground, but these plans come way too late. This should have been done years ago. By the way, in my opinion it’s not only ugly, it’s downright dangerous. I don’t think the tropical weather with its rainy season does the overhead cables any good. In fact, I think it’s a miracle there aren’t more accidents or power outages.</p>\n<p><b>Noise pollution</b><br />\nLoud, louder, the loudest. Bangkok can probably be best described with the superlative of the adjective loud. Traffic noise is probably unavoidable in most major city, but in Bangkok this is compounded with the blaring noise of shopping malls and advertising gimmicks. Most shops and advertising companies seem to think that the customers want to be exposed to deafening music when shopping. </p>\n<p>Even restaurants aren’t immune to this sort of pollution. I was having lunch at Oishi Ramen the other day when the person in charge of changing the background music apparently thought that diners liked loud music. I thought I was in a music pub. An elderly Thai gentleman wasn’t pleased with this loud music, called a waiter and asked for the music to be turned down. The waiter didn’t really know what to do about this difficult problem (talk about problem-solving skills) and went to get the manager. The latter seemed well-trained and customer-friendly and immediately came up with the most logical solution. He offered to reseat the elderly couple a few seats further away from the speakers. When the customers remained adamant that this wouldn’t solve the problem and that they liked their table, he eventually instructed staff to turn down the music.</p>\n<p><b>Intellectual pollution</b><br />\nI have to admit I haven’t really heard of this phrase myself, but I’m referring to the kind of intellectual nonsense that has been flooding Thailand for quite some time now and which could be considered mind-numbing and potentially dangerous to people’s intellectual advancement. The three most popular and omnipresent activities in this category are probably reading comic books, watching soap opera and playing computer games. </p>\n<p>Wherever you go, the odds are excellent that you’ll see someone reading a comic book. Although I never read them myself, I’ve got nothing against comic books per se. But when you see people of all ages, especially adults, reading Japanese manga as if their lives depended on it whenever they have the time or the opportunity, I think that’s all but a sign of intellectual maturity and socialising skills. </p>\n<p>The most popular kind of TV programme in Thailand is soap opera. Every single night, especially during prime time, no matter which TV channel you try, there’s a very good chance that they’ll be broadcasting soap opera rubbish. Again, there’s probably nothing wrong with watching some of this soapy misery once in a while, but when viewers’ lives and social diaries start revolving around it, there could be something amiss in society.</p>\n<p>Lots of Thais are computer literate, from the adults to the exceptionally young ones. Unfortunately, although most computer users are more than familiar with online chatting and extremely uneducational online games preferably played with the sound at full blast, lots can’t use the basic features of useful software. Addiction to chatting and games is a problem that without a doubt negatively influences children’s and teenagers’ grades. But then again, who cares about grades when you can’t fail?</p>\n<p><b>The future</b><br />\nFinally, are there any possible solutions to these modern problems? I suppose there are. I’m not going to discuss them here, but it probably involves changing our lifestyle and recognising that these are very serious issues. Solving them will take a lot of time and cost a lot of money, but let’s not forget that the future of the next generations is at stake here.</p>\n<p>If you ask yourself what this article is doing on a teaching website, it’s because I’m convinced that we should start teaching our children a lot more about all kinds of pollution and instil in them more respect for the environment. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a special course, why not have an English lesson once in a while debating the issue and asking students to come up with possible solutions. This will involve a great deal of communication and critical thinking, two important skills everyone should be good at. Let students brainstorm and debate possible solutions to pollution.</p>\n<p>Although due to the antics of American paedophile and self-confessed child-killer John Karr, the international reputation and image of Thailand has taken a beating lately, Thailand is still usually considered a beautiful country. Taking into account all the damage done by the above-mentioned kinds of pollution, I’m afraid it could lose that image rapidly. Ugly buildings, ugly overhead electrical cables, littered beaches and national parks, overly loud shopping malls, constantly increasing air pollution and people incapable of carrying out any intellectual task but smiling could well contribute to tourists staying away from what once was considered paradise. </p>','','2006-09-01 02:38:17',1,'2006-09-01 02:38:17','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(166,8,'Holiday in Thailand','holiday-in-thailand','Singing the praises of Hua Hin','I’ve been to Hua Hin a number of times, I think five times in total, and I have to admit I quite like the place. It’s easy to get to and not too far from Bangkok. ','<p>What is the best place to go on holiday in Thailand? Where do you get hassled the least? Where can you find the best food, nicest scenery, prettiest girls? This month’s article is partly about tourism in Thailand and partly about changes Thailand has gone through in the last few years. Those among you who are looking for extensive travel information about the whole Kingdom will be disappointed. I limited myself to giving a brief recount of my recent stay in a popular Thai beach town, namely Hua Hin.</p>\n<p>I’ve been to Hua Hin a number of times, I think five times in total, and I have to admit I quite like the place. It’s easy to get to and not too far from Bangkok. Nice A/C vans leaving from Victory Monument take you there in under three hours for the modest fare of 180 baht. Alternatively, buses leave from the Southern bus terminal, cost just a bit less and take an hour or so longer. </p>\n<p>Apart from the first time when I ended up staying in a guesthouse, I always stay at the same middle class, Thai hotel with swimming pool where a nice, clean fan room with satellite TV, fridge, and hot water can still be had for 535 baht a night (about 15 US dollars). It’s located in the centre of town, and is only a ten minutes’ walk from the beach. It caters mainly to Thais, but more and more foreigners seem to be staying there lately. Not surprising given the modest room rate.</p>\n<p>What is there to see or do in Hua Hin? Not a lot really. I usually limit my activities to walking or relaxing on the beach, having some seafood snacks and fresh coconuts, swimming in the hotel swimming pool and walking around town, both day and night. There are a few scenic spots where you can take nice pictures, such as Khao Takiab, i.e. a hill with Buddha statue some five kilometres to the south. You can get there by songthaew (shared taxi), motorbike taxi, tuk-tuk or just by walking along the beach. Other photo opportunities include the historic, renovated railway station and the luxurious Sofitel Central Hotel, formerly known as the Railway Hotel. I suppose there is golfing and fishing too, but I’m not really into that. </p>\n<p>Apart from this, there is of course some shopping to be done. The daily night market in the centre of town attracts lots of people for handicraft shopping and wining and dining. The area around the Hilton Hotel is also popular, esp. with the people staying there. There is now also Market Village, a recently opened airy mall cum supermarket about two kilometres south of town, which seems to be popular with tourists staying in the nearby luxury hotels. It’s very similar to Bangkok shopping malls and not really spectacular, but I suppose it’s worth a visit if you run out of ideas about what to do. You are on holiday after all, which probably means lazing about all day and spending money.</p>\n<p>Let’s not forget to mention the ubiquitous tailor shops. Nowadays, you can’t walk half a block without running into an Indian tailor trying to sell you his cheap combination of suit/2 trousers/2 shirts/2 ties and some other free crap for less than 100 dollars. If you go into the shop and start looking at nice fabrics though, you’ll soon find out that the suit you really want will cost about three times as much. Still a fairly good deal for people in need of cheap suits I suppose.</p>\n<p>The Northern hill tribe people have found Hua Hin. Whereas on previous visits I hadn’t really noticed them, this time they were there en masse. The daily night market and the area around the Hilton hotel seemed to be their favourite targets. You couldn’t sit for more than five minutes at your table before some hill tribe woman showed up and tried to sell you one of those wooden frogs or other handicrafts. Be prepared to do some bargaining but don’t go overboard. The things they sell are not extremely expensive and they only try to scrape together a living after all. Fortunately these people are quite friendly and take rejections in good spirits.</p>\n<p>Holidays in Hua Hin have become a bit more expensive over the years. The room rate at this particular hotel that I favour has just about doubled compared to first time I stayed there, which was four years ago. Luckily, it’s still rather cheap compared to other hotels or travel destinations. The food prices are still reasonable, although I have the impression that some of the seafood restaurant along the beach charge rather hefty prices for fresh fish, squid and shellfish. If you go to a place that charges by the weight of what you eat, you’d better keep an eye on those scales when choosing your dinner. It’s weird, but the cheapest tourist restaurants in Thailand for freshly grilled fish aren’t anywhere near the sea, but in soi Rambutri, the back street near Khao San Road, the ever-popular backpacker hangout in central Bangkok, where a big grilled red snapper can still be had for a mere 100 baht.</p>\n<p>Hua Hin has always been popular with Thai tourists and has attracted many international travellers as well. I had the impression that quite a few of the western tourists I saw where there on some package deal which probably included Bangkok and Hua Hin. Is it worthwhile coming to Thailand and just visit Bangkok and Hua Hin on a package tour, as some people from the West seem to do? I don’t think so. Mind you, this is just my personal opinion, but I think that if people travel half the globe just to see a vibrant, but crowded and polluted city like Bangkok and a nice, but ordinary beach town like Hua Hin, they could just as well go to a Greek or Spanish island or to an exotic Caribbean destination. Thailand has a lot more to offer and people willing to travel a bit could end up seeing a lot more interesting places, such as Chiang Mai or Krabi, some of my personal favourites. Unless of course they don’t want to move their butts for a whole two weeks and just eat, drink, lie in the sun and get a nice lobster colour or skin cancer.</p>\n<p>What else, except prices, has changed in Thailand over the last couple of years? The weather maybe. There seem to be more flash floods than ever and the rainy season has started unusually early this year. By the way, forget what the travel guides say about the best time to visit Thailand. There simply isn’t a bad time. It’s quite hot year round and when it rains, it’s usually just for a couple of hours. </p>\n<p>For the rest, the troubles with the insurgents in the deep South are still a long way from being resolved. It seems to be getting worse actually, with a hit man killing a teacher in front of his classroom last month and a disturbing number of random killings of officials, vendors, teachers, policemen etc. Tourists shouldn’t really be put off by this violence, as it is limited to the deep South, an area far away from the tourist destinations and with hardly anything worthwhile to visit anyway.</p>\n<p>Politics are quite different from a couple of years ago. Four years ago, the Thai Rak Thai party and Prime Minister Thaksin were still basking in the glow of their election victory and ruled the country with an iron, Thaksinomical fist. Now the country has been in political turmoil for more than six months, with upcoming elections in October. The difference seems to be that a big majority of the population is getting completely fed up with politics and even the King is desperate for the country to get out of the political quagmire it is in. </p>\n<p>In a nutshell, I don’t think there is just one best place to go on holiday in Thailand. There are many different interesting locations in this wonderful country. The most beautiful scenery can probably found in the North, with its relaxing mountain views, or in the South, on and around some of the smaller islands around Krabi. The best food is easy. Thai food is cheap and delicious just about everywhere you go. You’ll probably get hassled most in the busy tourist venues such as Phuket and Samui. The prettiest girls? I wouldn’t have a clue.</p>\n<p>PS: The hotel I stayed in was the Subhamitra Hotel on Amnuay Sin Road, very near Petchkasem Road and a large temple complex.<br />\nA map can be found on http://www.thaitambon.com/Maps/HuaHinMap1.htm . </p>','','2006-08-01 02:44:53',1,'2006-08-01 02:44:53','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(167,8,'How to land a job','how-to-land-a-job','The very basics','If you send your application and don’t get a reply, it means that you didn’t make the shortlist.

It won’t be an in-depth course on how to get your dream job, but rather an overview of the basics. As a head teacher, I go through a number of CVs and cover letters every month in search of finding the best teacher for the job. The amount is limited because our Director of Studies axes the rubbish and only forwards me the better ones. Still, most of these so-called better ones are still crap, pardon my French. Hopefully people who read this article will think twice before sending a letter without even bothering to proofread it first.</p>\n<p>Now let me first of all give you a review about what being a good teacher involves. Theoretically speaking, a teacher should possess a number of qualities in order to be called a good teacher. A teacher ought to be well-qualified, clever, dynamic, flexible, experienced, friendly, creative, enthusiastic, patient, have a good sense of humour, and so on. People who’ve done a TEFL or CELTA course probably discussed this at length during their training. I’m well aware that it’s next to impossible to find someone possessing all these qualities, so I’ll settle for a couple of them.</p>\n<p>What are the most important qualities? For a language school, it is very important that teachers are punctual, flexible and reliable. Teachers who are versatile and popular, who can cope with unexpected situations, go into a classroom and do their thing without having to hold their hand held are also high on any head teacher’s wish list. If you point out your strengths in your CV or cover letter, it’s always a good idea to give an example. Anybody can write that they are flexible and creative. Why do you think you are what you write? Okay, let’s move on to some more painful inadequacies.</p>\n<p>To whom it may concern<br />\nWell, I can tell you one thing. When I read a letter addressed this way, the last thing I feel is concerned. If you can’t even bother to personalise your cover letter or use a dear sir, madam, why write a cover letter at all? Probably because you want to send it to scores of potential employers without having to change anything at all, you lazy bugger. Do you really think that will make a good impression? And do you really think it’s a good idea to send your CV to more than a dozen employers at the same time? Only send your CV if you’re really interested in the job and don’t go wasting people’s valuable time by applying for every job you come across.</p>\n<p>Address<br />\nIt may seem incredible, but lots of applicants don’t even bother to put their address in their CV or cover letter. CVs – esp. the online CVs - often only mention the country where the applicants live and are extremely vague concerning the job the person is looking for. Stuff like “Currently living in Thailand and looking for a job in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam or China” isn’t exactly useful to an employer, is it now?<br />\nAlso, when mentioning your address, make sure to include your full address, “living in Bangkok” just isn’t enough. Bangkok is huge, so if you’re applying for a job, it’s vital to know in which part of the city you live (Silom, Bangna, Lad Prao etc.) Also, if you’re willing or planning to relocate, don’t forget to mention it. By the way, it doesn’t make sense to apply for a Rangsit job if you’re living in the Sukhumvit area, unless you relocate. Are you really going to commute three or four hours each day?</p>\n<p>KISS<br />\nKeep it short and simple. I don’t think it’s a good idea to bore your future employer to death with overly long cover letters and CVs full of irrelevant details. I couldn’t care one bit about you having been in charge of implementing Peoplesoft software version 7.1 in your previous job, or having been responsible for purchasing fine wines in your capacity as Food and Beverage manager for some fancy hotel. CVs should be relevant and list your experience as a teacher, esp. if you’re applying for a teaching position.</p>\n<p>Photo please<br />\nCall me shallow, but I like to see a photo of the job applicant. It’s not that looks matter that much, I just like to see who I’m communicating with. It’s not about the young teacher/old teacher or handsome/ugly issue, I just get a bit suspicious if people don’t send their picture and I start thinking they’re extremely ugly.<br />\nBy the way, if you do send a picture, use a recent and decent one, not one where you are seen in Hawaiian shirt in the company of questionable individuals or lots of beer bottles. </p>\n<p>Essentials<br />\nDon’t forget the other essential information, like many people do. It’s very useful for an employer to know your age, nationality and availability. How old are you? It might come in handy when assigning classes. It’s probably not a good idea to teach full-time kindergarten when you’re over seventy. Where do you come from? If you don’t put your nationality on your CV, I’d automatically assume that you come from Zimbabwe. Again, although most of this might seem just common sense, you’d be surprised of the sheer number of applicants violating these basic rules.<br />\nIf you are already employed but would like to change jobs, don’t forget to mention your availability. You’ll probably have to give a few weeks notice, or were you just planning to do a runner?</p>\n<p>Layout<br />\nPlease pay a little attention to the layout and organisation of your CV. If you’re CV looks absolutely disorganized and sports seven different fonts, there’s a good chance that you’re a disorganized and schizophrenic person. Have someone proofread your CV and cover letter before sending it – or use your spell checker if you’re a hermit – because it’s really a bad idea to send such an important document stating that you’re definately (sic) the right man for the job.</p>\n<p>Don’t call us, we’ll call you<br />\nIf you send your application and don’t get a reply, it means that you didn’t make the shortlist. It’s usually useless to call the employer and try to find out why you weren’t contacted. There a big chance the employer found someone more qualified for the job or maybe you didn’t meet the job requirements. By the way, having a Master’s Degree doesn’t automatically qualify for any position. I found proof of this in a telephone conversation I had last week. I’ll give you the rough transcript to end this month’s article (the sentences between brackets are what I thought, not what I said).</p>\n<p>Job applicant: Hello, my name is “X” (it’s too embarrassing to mention the real name, which I’ve already forgotten anyway) and I’m calling about the teaching position.</p>\n<p>Head teacher: Okay, what would you like to know?</p>\n<p>Job applicant: Well, I sent my CV last night and I haven’t heard anything yet.

They can teach just about anyone, but seem to be especially good at teaching young learners. They don&rsquo;t mind teaching children and are able to teach large groups of them. They are quite flexible when it comes to working hours. Their motto might be &ldquo;the more hours, the better&rdquo;. I don&rsquo;t have a clue about their reliability, but I don&rsquo;t think many of them call in sick often or ask for unreasonable amounts of time off.</p>\n<p>Do they have the right to get angry when their job applications are turned down because of the fact that they are Filipino?

It&rsquo;s their policy. They know that if parents pay huge amounts of money for their offspring&rsquo;s education, they want to see white faces teaching English in the classroom. They don&rsquo;t hire Filipinos.</p>\n<p>Does that mean that Filipinos are being discriminated? I don&rsquo;t think there is a widespread discrimination towards Filipinos, because just outside of the spectrum of the above mentioned educational institutions, there are plenty of job opportunities. Thai primary and secondary schools and a lot of language schools actually employ thousands of Filipinos teachers.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m going out on a limb here, but I wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if, apart from Thai teachers of English, Filipinos make up the biggest contingent of foreign English teachers.</p>\n<h3>\'Agitated\'</h3>\n<p>In my opinion, Filipinos sometimes get agitated because of the general attitude towards them. I agree that it can get frustrating when your umpteenth job application is turned down. You pick up the phone to try to find out why your services are not wanted and you are told that the school doesn&rsquo;t hire Filipino teachers. You argue that your English is good and that you&rsquo;re a good teacher, but deep down you know it&rsquo;s just water down the drain. Sounds familiar? Starting to get angry? Just wait a second.</p>\n<p>Maybe you should have read the job requirements better. A lot of schools want their teachers to have a degree, possibly a TEFL, TESOL or CELTA, and only hire native speakers. If you applied for a job without meeting the job requirements and subsequently got turned down, I don&rsquo;t think there is any reason to cry foul. By the way, most schools only contact short-listed candidates, so it might be a good idea to phone first before spamming scores of employers with your CV, cover letter and graduation pictures.</p>\n<p>Let me go on and expose some darker sides of society concerning foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>I have a suspicion that some non-native foreign teachers sometimes get frustrated because they don&rsquo;t really get the recognition they deserve. It is not unusual for Thai parents to look down upon non-farang teachers of English. It&rsquo;s completely unrelated to the quality of the teachers involved and has everything to do with face.</p>\n<p>Parents will gain a huge amount of face when they can tell their family and friends that little Somchai is being taught by Mike, a fair-haired, blue-eyed farang teacher from the USA, compared to a very small amount of face when the teacher is brown-skinned Felicito from the Philippines.</p>\n<p>Some parents bring their children to the language school I work in for extra tuition, often because their English isn&rsquo;t good enough to follow lessons in class. Sometimes the parents add with a sorrowful expression on their face that &ldquo;the children have a Filipino teacher at school&rdquo;.</p>\n<p>I usually start by reassuring them that there is nothing wrong with Filipino teachers, on the contrary. In fact, I think (but don&rsquo;t say to the parents) that those children are bloody lucky to have a Filipino teacher and not a Thai teacher of English.</p>\n<h3>Language proficiency</h3>\n<p>It&rsquo;s a well-known fact that the English proficiency of Thai teachers is usually not as good as that of non-native foreign teachers. I have to agree with the patents though that it is always a good idea to get some extra lessons for students with low English skills. Nobody can do miracles in a classroom where there are more than twenty students, not even Filipino teachers.</p>\n<p>If given the choice, parents will undoubtedly choose unqualified Harald from Denmark, who has never taught anyone in his whole life and who thinks EFL stands for European Football League, over Felicito, even when the latter is a top-class children&rsquo;s teachers with all the necessary qualifications and a better accent than the aforementioned smorrebrod. By the way, I&rsquo;ve got nothing whatsoever against Scandinavian teachers, it was just an example. Actually, I&rsquo;ve got nothing against any teacher, as long as they behave professionally and do a good job. Unfortunately, the customer is always right.</p>\n<h3>Money matters</h3>\n<p>Finally, there is the salary. Schools that employ Filipinos as well as Thai and Western teachers often have a three-tiered pay scale, with Thais at the lower end and Westerners at the higher end.</p>\n<p>If a Thai teacher makes let&rsquo;s say 10,000 baht a month, the school would probably pay a Western teacher around 30,000 baht and try to get away with paying the Filipino teachers around 20,000 baht. Is this fair? Well, on the one hand Filipinos aren&rsquo;t native speakers, so a slightly lower salary might be justified. On the other hand, non-native Western teachers are paid as much as native speakers, so it&rsquo;s not justified. Western non-native speakers are paid as much as native speakers because they have an extra quality Asian don&rsquo;t possess: their skin colour. Is this fair? Probably not, but that&rsquo;s the way it is and it&rsquo;s not about to change overnight.</p>\n<p>If the aforementioned (fictitious) school pays the Filipino teacher 25,000 baht, I guess that quite reasonable. Should they try to get away with paying a salary of 15,000 baht or less a month, that&rsquo;s robbery. Also, let&rsquo;s not forget that Thai teachers are often paid what some would call a pittance. This is true if you compare their salary to that of foreign teachers. In Thai society though, it&rsquo;s unfortunately not thought of as unusually low, it&rsquo;s a normal salary. Considering some Thai teachers&rsquo; English proficiency, it&rsquo;s probably way too much.</p>','','2017-03-01 19:07:34',1,'2017-03-01 19:07:34','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(169,8,'Water wars','water-wars','The infamous Songkhran festival','The Songkran festival, which could also be called Water festival, is the Thai celebration of the Buddhist New Year and officially lasts for three days. Although it seems to be immensely popular with Thais, many foreigners, especially expats, thoroughly dislike it. Why is that? ','<p>It’s the beginning of May and everything is getting back to normal in Thailand. Songkran is behind us and schools will open their doors again soon. This month’s article is about the famous – or should I say infamous – Songkran festival. Is it the best time of year to visit the Kingdom or should it be avoided at all costs?</p>\n<p>The Songkran festival, which could also be called Water festival, is the Thai celebration of the Buddhist New Year and officially lasts for three days. Although it seems to be immensely popular with Thais, many foreigners, especially expats, thoroughly dislike it. Why is that? Well, unlike a lot of other (Western) countries where the main party attributes are crackers, party hats, confetti or fireworks, Thais use something else in their celebrations: water.</p>\n<p>Songkran is all about throwing water onto one another. When you go out during the festival, expect to get wet. It doesn’t matter where you are going or what you are wearing, if you meet a bunch of Songkran revellers, you are bound to get doused. Although the old Songkran tradition meant gently pouring water onto other people’s hands to show respect (or something along those lines), the modern version is nowhere near that description. Today’s Songkran is synonym with water wars.</p>\n<p>If some of you start wondering what the big deal is about getting wet, read on. It isn’t just about getting wet once. During the Songkran celebrations, people usually start throwing water a day or so before the official start of the festival and finish a day late. The water activities often start early morning and can go on until late at night. Whenever you go out, there is a good chance of someone throwing a bucket of water down your neck or using you for target practice with a big water pistol. </p>\n<p>This might seem fun and it often is the first day of the festival, but when you get wet for the umpteenth time on the second or third day, the fun factor tends to drop dramatically. By the way, water isn’t the only ingredient anymore. Nowadays many people use a flour and water paste to rub onto each other. Instead of using cups of water, we’re now down to buckets, giant water guns, dirty water and even ice water. Although very dangerous and totally irresponsible, throwing a full bucket of water onto to oncoming motorbike drivers has become a normal and common occurrence. Water pistols will probably be replaced by water cannons before long.</p>\n<p>Although most Thais claim to love the festival, I have the distinct feeling that there is a part of the population that really loves it and just as big a part that just undergoes it. Big crowds are usually seen on TV throwing massive amounts of water. Targeting foreigners seems to be some Thais’ favourite pastime during this period of water hysteria. Needless to say that the festivities are often fuelled by large amounts of alcohol.</p>\n<p>Now I don’t mind a splash of water, but running around in wet clothes for the better part of a week is just too much. Moreover, it seems that some Thais are having extra fun at the foreigners’ expense. Should the latter dare to protest they get the ‘it’s part of our culture and you have to accept it’ lecture. I have the impression that they’re just shoving a part of their culture down other people’s throat. This is probably why a number of people barricade themselves in their apartments with plenty of provisions or spend a week abroad.</p>\n<p>Although I’m not a great fan of the festival, I usually stay in Thailand. My favourite place to celebrate Songkran is Hua Hin, and this for two reasons. It only lasts for a day there and it’s near the beach. Is it a good idea for people to visit Thailand during this period? I don’t think so, unless you spend your holiday on an island or near a beach and don’t mind getting wet for the better part of a week. If you think you’d go crazy after a few days of this water madness, avoid Thailand at all costs.</p>','','2006-05-01 08:00:15',1,'2006-05-01 08:00:15','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(170,8,'Person of odd jobs','person-of-odd-jobs','Let\'s hear it for the good old head teacher','Why is the head teacher the topic of this month’s column?

They are loved by some and loathed by others. They seem to have the best schedules and the prettiest students. They seem to lead a comfortable life. A lot of teachers tend to think that, at worst, they make a teacher’s life miserable, and at best, they just leave teachers alone to do their thing. Who am I talking about?

Indeed, teachers shouldn’t despise the head teacher just because he’s the boss, nor should they start kissing a certain body part of his just because he’s the boss. Luckily, many teachers don’t, simply because there’s no need to. By the way, I think a good head teacher isn’t just the big cheese of the branch he is working in; he is also a manager, coach and facilitator. And let’s not forget, a teacher.</p>\n<p>Why is the head teacher the topic of this month’s column? Because I became one at the beginning of this year, CE* 2006, at a newly opened branch of the language school I work for. Instead of giving a mission statement in this article and explaining in detail what my job involves and what the difficulties and the perks are, I have tried to make it a little more interesting and easier to read by putting on paper what others say about me.</p>\n<p>The branch manager<br />\nWhen I first met Philip, I thought he was very serious. It was during a meeting with the Thai staff, director of studies, marketing manager and head teacher. Man, did he fool us. It turned out he was neither serious nor sedate. He just wanted to make a good impression during our first meeting, I suppose. I thought it was a bit strange, because after all, every foreign teacher is some kind of clown, no? Prejudice or stereotype? I don’t think so. They all like onions and beer, don’t they? They all like lying in the sun to get a tan and they like dark-skinned girls. It’s clear that they’ve got a few screws loose. Come to think of it, Philip didn’t eat onions during our last staff dinner and he’s fairly white-skinned. There must be something really wrong with him.<br />\nHe does the scheduling for all the branch teachers, so that’s one headache less for me. We discuss branch policy and needs regularly, though I have to admit that I don’t get all of what he says. Sometimes when he speaks I hear him but don’t listen, I listen but I don’t understand all of it, I understand but I forget, or I don’t understand at all but pretend to. He’s really good with kids and I think he’s a good teacher.</p>\n<p>A teacher<br />\nPhil’s a good guy. Does the scheduling, gives us days off, arranges fill-ins when needed. Observes once in a while, gives us some tips and tricks. Can’t complain about him really. Does some teaching himself, keeps the teachers happy and seems to put in a lot of hours. I suppose that’s what they pay him for. The bastard gets two days a week off though.<br />\nCome to think of it, he does have some unreasonable demands sometimes, like starting classes on time and doing a minimum of lesson preparation. He doesn’t demand formal lesson plans, but he insists the teachers know what they’re doing, for example by using a simplified lesson plan or a brief running order of activities in the classroom. Bizarre, isn’t it?</p>\n<p>The director of studies<br />\nPhilip is one of our new head teachers and he seems to be doing a good job. I get a lot of positive comments about him from both the Thai staff and the teachers at the branch he works at. He’s conscientious and hard-working.<br />\nHe’s a funny fellow though. When the branch was about to open, I asked him to set up the school’s library and make a list of useful books to supplement lessons with. He did an excellent job and put together an impressive, yet not expensive list of resource materials. The funny thing is that he actually believed that we were going to provide the money to buy these materials. Hilarious, isn’t it? Instead, we just sent his branch a box of copied books and stuff other branches didn’t need or want anymore.<br />\nTo his credit, he didn’t keep bugging me about it, but seemed quite content with some of the materials. He’s apparently integrated himself well in Thai society and he’s quite knowledgeable about the way things are done here.</p>\n<p>A maid<br />\nMr Philip? Who? Oh, head teacher. Yes, I know him. He usually sits at his desk looking busy or chats with the manager about new courses and teacher needs. My main responsibility in the branch is making sure that I clear his empty coffee cup from his desk as soon as he finishes it. It’s quite a tiring and time-consuming task, as he usually drinks only one cup a day. I have to keep vigilant all the time.<br />\nMr Philip has this big computer and is always doing things. I don’t have any idea what he does exactly, but I’m sure it’s very important. He is a bit weird sometimes. The other day he instructed me to leave the crust on the bread that I use to make sandwiches for the weekend teachers. I thought he was joking, but no, he really wanted these poor bastards to eat crust. Incredible. After all, they’re not chickens or pigs or fish, are they? Well, maybe some of them behave like pigs in their free time, but I still don’t think that’s a reason to make them eat crust.</p>\n<p>A student<br />\nMr Philip he okay, we have fun, learn some things, he not boring and make us talk many time. Even when doing an activity or playing a game he make us talk English. He make us pay money when we don’t use English while playing Monopoly. I don’t think it good idea to lose money, but he calls it fine. Not fine for me! My English no good when I first come here, but now it getting more good, I mean more better. </p>\n<p>A job applicant<br />\nHe seemed nice at first, but then he started asking me these totally ridiculous questions. He asked me where I lived, how long I had been living in Thailand, why I wanted the job and so on. None of his bloody business, was it? Then he wanted me to explain the difference between past simple and present perfect. Can you believe it? It’s obvious, isn’t it? Past simple is used for the past, it’s that simple. Present perfect is used for the present, if you want to speak perfect English, I suppose. What more can a man say about verbs? It’s not as if it’s important, is it, I mean, who’s going to lose sleep over such nonsense, know what I mean? I don’t know why he gave me such a hard time. It’s not that I’m a freak or an alcoholic. Everybody calls me Handsome Man and I limited myself to a couple of vodkas before I went to the interview, just to ease my nerves, so I’m sure he couldn’t have smelled anything on my breath. I did put on a fairly clean and unwrinkled shirt and my Homer Simpson tie. I was only 20 minutes late. What more can a man do? I don’t know why I didn’t get the job.</p>\n<p>=====</p>\n<p>This is how different people can experience or describe the same person or situation. The story isn’t exactly 100% true, as I wrote the whole thing myself, but it’s definitely based on a true story. I didn’t exactly invent this writing style myself. I saw it in one of Stephen Leather’s books, Private Dancer. Private Dancer tells the story of an expat who gets entangled in a web of lies and deceit when he starts a relationship with a go-go dancer. The author describes the situation through the eyes of different characters, all in the first person. It’s an easy and addictive read and definitely a must for anyone coming to Thailand in search of more than just sea and sun. Originally, the quite popular Stephen Leather’s couldn’t find anyone to publish this book (as his publishers were used to his crime fiction), so he made it available as a free download. Although he finally managed to get it published in 2005, free downloading is still possible at www.stephenleather.com/unpub.html.</p>\n<p>That’s it folks. I hope you enjoyed the column this month.

That’s what most people thought until recently. But with the advance of modern computer technology and artificial intelligence, some now think that computers can take the place of a language teacher. Interactive interfaces, speech recognition, and vast memory capacity are all contributing factors to the possible success of computer-assisted language learning or, more generally, e-learning. I agree that computers can – to a certain extent – do a teacher’s job, especially when it comes to teaching grammar and spelling. They can even help for reading and writing. Furthermore, computers and the Internet can positively influence a student’s motivation and make language learning easier and more appealing. On the other hand, I’m convinced that they will never succeed in completely replacing a teacher. Or will they?</p>\n<p>If I had told my parents when I was young that one day a computer might be doing a teacher’s job, they would have ordered me to have my head examined. Of course, personal computers have only been around for 20 odd years and my parents never were computer-minded. Since then, the speed with which technology has advanced hasn’t ceased to amaze me. It’s both a blessing and a curse though. On the one hand, powerful processors are getting cheaper by the minute, putting the purchase of a decent computer within most people’s reach. On the other hand, this technological advance renders most new computers obsolete in no time. Computer whiz kids would probably call my four year old laptop medieval, while my nine year old desktop – which I wisely left in the Old World – is nothing short of prehistoric.</p>\n<p>What computers can do for a motivated student? If someone is really eager to learn a language (any foreign language, it doesn’t necessarily have to be English), a computer is the ideal tool for self-study. Actually, a computer is nothing more than a modern combination of a notebook, a pen, a dictionary, a phone and a fax machine. Without the communicative infrastructure called the Internet or the software to make everything happen, a computer is basically worthless. The diversity of Internet resources combined with ever-improving language-learning software puts e-learning within everyone’s reach. The only things students need are enough time and motivation. Although this sounds like a piece of cake, it is actually quite a tall order.</p>\n<p>What can computers do for teachers? When teaching English, there are usually three stages. In jargon this is called PPP, or present-practice-produce. First, there is the presentation. The teacher presents a topic (often grammar) and explains it. Then comes the practice. Students carry out well-defined, guided tasks in order to acquire the presented structure. This is where students are often bored to death with repetitive drills. Finally, there is the production stage during which the students engage in free or guided conversation and try to use what they have learned.</p>\n<p>I don’t see any problem why a computer couldn’t take over the first two stages of the learning process. To put it differently, it might benefit both student and teacher greatly if it were possible to integrate e-learning in the teaching process. If students spent some time preparing the subject matter with the help of a computer, this would free up a considerable amount of classroom time. This time could then be used by the teacher to answer questions about the subject matter, give advice and let the students talk. Most of the classroom time could be spent on producing language, actually speaking and having a discussion. Wouldn’t that be great? After all, the skill most students lack is free conversation.</p>\n<p>Whereas I am actually quite positive towards e-learning, the harsh reality of English language teaching in Thailand seems to contradict my optimism. Thai teachers of English simply don’t have the infrastructure and equipment in place to use e-learning on a large scale. Although using computers and the Internet in the classroom is a noble idea, there are so many pitfalls that I don’t see it happen on a large scale in the near future. Problems include equipment, cost, technical support, necessary blocking of ‘sanuk’ and X-rated websites, teacher training, overcrowded classrooms and so on. Some expensive international schools might have fully operational computer rooms and language labs staffed by well-trained professionals, but I think the average Thai student who sits with 40 others in a non-air-conditioned classroom with a poorly-trained and under-equipped Thai teacher hardly ever uses a computer to help him learn English.</p>\n<p>Apart from just using computers and e-learning, every teacher should try to motivate and inspire the students to dedicate more of their personal computer time to surfing English-language websites, learning sites, chat sites and message boards instead of playing yet another mind-numbing hour of Ragnarok online or the latest hot computer game. There are lots of language games on the Internet that help students improve their English and at the same time provide the element of ‘sanuk’ (fun) and competition that seems to be essential to make a Thai student do something useful (see list at the end of this article).</p>\n<p>The computer room at school – if there is one - should be used to show students how to use the Internet to improve their language acquisition. Thais are often very knowledgeable computer users, so the practical use of a computer shouldn’t be a problem. Encouraging students to use email and chat rooms to improve their writing and fluency is more than just a remote possibility. The majority of students already use these ways of communication, but unfortunately, most do it using only Thai. Although finding an international (e-mail) pen friend on the Internet or chatting in English with someone from the other side of the globe is a piece of cake, teachers might want to give students a few decent websites to start their quest. Of course, students will have to sacrifice some of their free time to do some useful surfing at home.</p>\n<p>To sum it all up, in my opinion a computer can indeed take over some of the more tedious, repetitive tasks a teacher is faced with, especially grammar rules and drills. I really applaud both students and teachers who use a computer to help them learn or teach a language. For students, it’s a great way to get more exposure to authentic English and it can provide extra motivation, esp. for people living in an area where English is not widely used or access to English materials is not readily available. At the end of the day however, most students will still need a qualified individual, i.e. a teacher, to stimulate them to use the acquired language and give help or correction when necessary. So, can a computer completely replace a teacher? Definitely not, unless it’s a mediocre or boring grammar teacher.</p>\n<p>Some useful websites:<br />\nwww.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/games (language games)<br />\nwww.eastoftheweb.com/games (word games)<br />\nwww.m-w.com/game (word games)<br />\nwww.interpals.net (pen friends)<br />\nwww.englishclub.com (online lessons – grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading, writing, business English etc.)<br />\nhttp://www.englishpage.com (lots of resources, mainly grammar and reading and listening links)<br />\nhttp://www.english-test.net (interactive free English tests)<br />\nhttp://www.englishmaze.com (with a number of free mazes, a kind of online reading adventures, pre- and post-activities – all levels and business English)</p>','','2006-03-01 08:07:35',1,'2006-03-01 08:07:35','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(172,8,'Teaching the kiddies','teaching-the-kiddies','Do they learn anything at all?','Although weekend courses have to be fun for everyone involved, meaning both children and teacher, I think that fun and learning should be balanced.

It must have been one of those days where you wonder if what you do has any impact at all on learners or if it’s just water down the drain. I guess all teachers go through that phase at one time or another. I started having doubts because I’d been teaching this bunch of very young learners (half a dozen five and six year olds) for almost a year and I couldn’t see a lot of improvement in their English capabilities.</p>\n<p>Luckily, along came a boy who had dropped out of that very class about a year before, just before I took over from another teacher. He made my day. Apparently, his mum had decided that he should learn English at a young age after all, so he rejoined the group he’d left earlier. He hardly recognised his former classmates as most of them were new faces to him. After his mum had dropped him off in the classroom and set off to commence her weekly shopping spree, he showed all of us what he was made of: he started crying.</p>\n<p>The other children didn’t join in but just looked puzzled. They looked at him and then me as if asking “What the hell is he crying for? It’s just an English lesson, not an appointment at the dentist’s.” I just smiled and let the new kid settle down. After a while he understood that crying wasn’t going to get him out of his ordeal and he quietly took his seat between two other boys while I went on with the lesson. So far, my experience has taught me that it’s better not to make too big a deal out of a situation like this, but just to let things run their natural course.</p>\n<p>Anyway, why did this kid make my day? Well, when I started involving him in the lesson, it turned out he didn’t know anything. And whatever he had ever learned before, he seemed to have forgotten most of it or buried it somewhere very deep in his grey matter. He didn’t understand basic classroom commands, he didn’t know most common words, he didn’t know diddly-squat. Then it dawned on me that the other students knew all the answers to my questions. They obeyed or carried out classroom commands without me having to repeat them and they knew most of the words the new kid on the block hadn’t the foggiest about. My doubts about them not learning anything had definitely been ill-founded. It turned out I had doubted them and myself when I shouldn’t have. I just didn’t have anything to compare them with and I had taken their skills – limited but valuable indeed – for granted. It hadn’t been a waste of time and money after all.</p>\n<p>Some children never cease to amaze me. I’m thinking in particular of another class of young children, aged six and seven, that I taught. It’s simply incredible how noisy some of them could be. There were a few boys in that group that were so loud you could probably hear them two classrooms further down the hall. Until I came along. When I took over that class from a teacher who’d quit, about half of them (mainly the boys) just acted like a bunch of unsupervised brats with no respects whatsoever for their peers or the teacher present. My predecessor had apparently relied on the non-intervention approach and had let the children do whatever they wanted to do, even if that involved causing chaos and doing anything but learning English.</p>\n<p>Now I’m fairly tolerant myself and I don’t to want to act as the teacher-policeman, but such a live and let live approach just isn’t my cup of tea. I presume that if kids are in my classroom, they must be there for a reason. The reason why they are there is to learn English, willingly or unwillingly. I realise that quite a few of them are probably there because their parents drag them by the hair to the weekend language school and make them study English. I know they’d rather be out in the park playing with their friends. So some of them think that’s just what the classroom is: a park where they can do whatever they want because the farang teacher can’t touch them. Well, not with this teacher.</p>\n<p>Although weekend courses have to be fun for everyone involved, meaning both children and teacher, I think that fun and learning should be balanced. If the parents pay good money to get their kids on a course, the least a teacher should do is make sure that they learn some English. This can be done using fun and games, but not exclusively. At the end of the day, learners have to put in a minimal effort if they want to achieve anything at all. By the way, the children shouldn’t just learn English, but also some sense of responsibility and the awareness that they can’t get away with everything. </p>\n<p>In general, the boys tend to be the troublemakers, while the girls are usually better-behaved. This might explain the difference in English skills. In my experience, girls often do better than boys when it comes to learning English. I know this is a generalisation, but if there were statistics, I think they would show that I am right. Of course I agree that there exist lazy and noisy girls whose English is very poor, just as there are plenty of boys who are bright and well-behaved.</p>\n<p>When it comes to singing, girls are usually a lot more willing to sing and a lot of them actually like it, whereas boys are often shy and reluctant. As for being cheeky or naughty, I guess girls almost equal boys. The other day, two six year old girls insisted on massaging my arm in the classrooms. I let them do it for just a few moments in order to keep them happy, but guess what, after a few minutes one of them asked me for 100 baht. I could see on her face that she was joking, but it goes to show how cheeky even the very young learners can be. Later in the lesson, a number of them ganged up on me and tried to steal my wallet out of my back pocket. I can assure you that even a small group of young children can be a handful to keep at bay, especially when there are a couple of overweight boys among them.</p>\n<p>One of the normal-sized boys in that class was very bright. Bright but naughty. For example, he would draw a nicely curved W on the board and ask what it was. Before I could even open my mouth he’d proudly announce loudly to everyone present it was a bum. He then went on to draw a picture of a girl, complete with a pair of convincing assets. When he was done, two of the cheekier girls informed that the girl had “big milk”. Now what the hell do you say to that? I know I could easily have shrugged it off, but I decided to correct them so that they wouldn’t keep saying it for the rest of their lives. In fact, it is very difficult to correct mistakes children or even adults have grown used to, so I decided to tell them it wasn’t big milk, but it were big… well, uh, I was stuck for a moment. Breasts just didn’t seem the right word. Moreover, a word with two consonant clusters would have been mission impossible for them to pronounce anyway. I don’t know what the politically correct word is with children, but in the end I settled for boobs. Probably better than bazookas, beer glasses, berthas, cantaloupes, Dolly Partons, dumplings, fried eggs, grapefruits, headlights, hooters, melons, tits or twin peaks. If I’d had to do it again, I might go for the fairly neutral, perfectly-sized and easy to pronounce coconuts. </p>\n<p>That’s it. I hope I didn’t offend any airbags or mosquito bites with my column this month. Remember, suggestions remain welcome.</p>','','2006-02-01 08:19:31',1,'2006-02-01 08:19:31','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(173,8,'How to improve your English','how-to-improve-your-english','Tips for students','Communication is all about using a language to transfer a message and to make yourself understood.

I started off by putting on paper a set of tips and tricks to improve the students’ fluency. As you all know, a lot of people in Thailand study English and many of them are quite good when it comes to passive skills, i.e. reading and listening, but they aren’t very fluent. Being able to read and listen is important, but the active skills, speaking and to a lesser degree writing, are even more important. Communication is all about using a language to transfer a message and to make yourself understood. If the students can’t say it, if they can’t get their message across, if nobody understands them or doesn’t even bother listening to them anymore, their knowledge of English is virtually useless and all the hours of studying it have been a complete waste of time.</p>\n<p>To make the column a bit more interesting for English teachers, I added some comments to the advice. The advice itself addresses the students directly using the second person singular ‘you’, whereas in my comments I refer to the students in the third person. After I started writing, I decided to include tips to improve the students’ overall level of English, not just their fluency. If students follow these tips and guidelines, their English skills will surely improve. I guess I’d better use the second conditional here. If students followed these tips and guidelines, their English skills would surely improve. Although I regularly give these tips in the classroom, I sometimes can’t shake the feeling that although most students recognise the advice as very valuable, few follow it. What you’re about to read probably sounds good in theory, but in the real, i.e. Thai world, I’m afraid it’s just not going to happen. Or is it?</p>\n<p>Pronunciation<br />\nFirst of all, before trying to improve your fluency in English, you might want to improve your pronunciation. What good is it to talk fluently when nobody understands a word you say? In English, nearly every letter has to be pronounced, especially final consonants. If you don’t, it will become a lot more difficult for people to understand what you say. If you have trouble pronouncing a letter or a word, repeat it until you get it right. Read words and even small newspaper articles out loud. Do it on your own at home, in a park, wherever. It’s a very good idea to use a tape recorder and listen to your own voice. You might be surprised of what you hear. If you can’t even understand yourself, it’s no wonder others have a hard time understanding what you say. Don’t get disappointed and keep practising. If possible, use speech recognition software. You’ll get it right in the end. </p>\n<p>Good advice, right? Probably, but it’s just not going to happen. Although it seems good in theory and most students agree with me – even to the point of ridiculing other Asians or fellow countrymen for their poor pronunciation - I just don’t believe for a minute that students will practice their pronunciation on their own. The most problematic of letters for Thais is of course the final ‘s’. Students just seem unable – or obstinately refuse - to pronounce this sound. It drives me mad sometimes. It’s very easy for anyone else, yet apparently extremely difficult for Thai learners. There are of course other difficult sounds such as l/r, x, ch and v, as well as the challenging consonant clusters such as sp-, st-, str-, spl-, etc. which prove difficult for Asian palates. Although many claim they think that learning English is important, I have the impression most people lack the drive to further their language skills on their own.</p>\n<p>Study, work or travel abroad<br />\nLiving in a country, preferably an English-speaking country, where you have to use your English skills to get around, to survive even, is probably the best way to master the language quickly. If you are forced to use English on a daily basis, becoming fluent is just a matter of time. The most important thing to remember is to get as much practice as possible. To benefit maximally from this kind of experience, it is advisable to go alone. Taking a friend who speaks the same language as you will slow down your progress enormously as you will still talk a lot using your mother tongue.</p>\n<p>• Study<br />\nInstead of trying to get into a foreign university after graduating, you should consider going on a summer course abroad when you are younger. These kinds of courses are offered worldwide and often combine the language course with a homestay to help learners practise their newly acquired language skills outside of the classroom. When looking for a course (use Google to find language schools worldwide), look for a school that provides a wide range of extracurricular activities such as welcoming parties, sports activities, sightseeing etc. In my opinion, socialising with other students is as much of a learning experience as sitting in a classroom. Moreover, these activities are very helpful if you are somewhat afraid of going abroad on your own, getting homesick or being unable to make friends.</p>\n<p>• Work<br />\nIt doesn’t really matter where you work or what you do as long as it’s in an English-speaking environment. The possibilities that I can think of off the top of my head are fruit picking in Australia or a working stay in America. Some job agencies in Thailand can arrange jobs for up to three months in the USA followed by a week of travel. These packages usually offer jobs in the hotel industry and make the necessary accommodation, visa and airfare arrangements.<br />\nThe packages are aimed at university students who want to improve their English and make some money at the same time. The participants are paid an hourly rate that would be considered rather low in America but high in Thailand (e.g. 8 dollars per hour). I’ve had two students recently who signed up for this kind of deal and both will end up in a hotel in Nevada, the heart of America’s gambling industry.</p>\n<p>• Travel<br />\nTravelling into English-speaking territory doesn’t have to involve long journeys. Any country where English is spoken will do. If you don’t have the opportunity to travel to the usual western (i.e. expensive) destinations, try Singapore, Hong Kong, India or the Philippines. Using English will be essential to get by. Whatever you do, don’t go on a package tour. Remember that the aim of your voyages is to improve your English, not to go on a shopping spree or create an overdraft on your credit card in the company of fellow countrymen.</p>\n<p>The three above-mentioned possibilities, study, work and travel, can of course be combined in whatever combination that suits your needs and/or finances.</p>\n<p>Good advice, right? Probably, but it’s just not going to happen. I don’t think a lot of Thai students will go abroad to learn English. Money is probably one of the problems. Enrolling at a foreign language school for a few weeks or months, combined with a homestay with a local family, isn’t exactly cheap. The work package might be a better option for those with limited resources. </p>\n<p>Also, studying English abroad for two weeks isn’t going to do the trick for most, it’ll be just a drop in the ocean. Students who have a good IELTS or TOEFL score as their objective will need at least a few months or more of full-time study to acquire the necessary skills in order to do well on either test. Knowing this, it is plainly ridiculous to see elementary students on Thai soil signing up for 20-hour (or even 50-hour) TOEFL or IELTS preparation courses and actually expect good results. Test preparation is all too often a case of too little, too late.</p>\n<p>As for the ones who do go abroad to learn English, quite a few of them will be scared stiff of going alone to a faraway, foreign land. They’ll be afraid of getting homesick, of not liking the food, of not being able to make friends, of being lonely, of getting ill and so on. Their answer to these irrational fears is to take a friend. And that is exactly what they shouldn’t do. If you study English at in a foreign language school, attending classes is just a small part of the learning process. What you learn outside of the school is just as important. People often enhance their English skills by making friends with other foreign students and by socialising. The use of English is usually the bonding factor between different nationalities and the English you speak in an informal situation, i.e. outside the classroom, is the real test to see if you are ready to communicate in English. Taking a friend who speaks the same language as you do will just undermine, if not completely eliminate, this valuable process.</p>\n<p>Use your English in Thailand<br />\nIf it’s impossible to study, work or travel abroad, then try to get in touch with English speakers in Thailand. Bangkok is ideal as many foreigners travel or live there. I can’t stress enough that, in order to become fluent, practising free conversation is the clue to success. I firmly believe in learning by doing. Never mind the fact that you make a lot of mistakes while talking, you’ll learn from them. By the way, the main purpose of using a language is communicating with others, not uttering beautiful, grammatically correct sentences. Talk, talk, talk, and you’re fluency in English will improve significantly. Remember that fluency is the ability to express yourself readily and without pause, which is essential to keep a conversation going. Not being fluent will lead to boring the people you try to communicate with to death with long pauses for thinking of what to say or how to reply.</p>\n<p>Although there are lots of foreigners in Bangkok, you might find it very difficult to actually start a conversation. I understand that this can be sometimes difficult, but once you’ve done it, it’ll get easier. Not only will your English improve, but so will your social skills. It’s always a good idea to tell the person you approach why you want to talk to him or her. Be honest and admit that you’re a student looking from some free conversation practice. Buy a round of beer if necessary, it might help loosen your tongue and diminish your stage fright.</p>\n<p>Also, when you’re in an English classroom, don’t forget to speak as much as you can. Remember that the classroom is a non-threatening environment where you can afford to make mistakes. Good teachers will never point the finger at you for making mistakes when speaking, scold you in front of others or continuously interrupt you when you say something wrong. On the contrary, they’ll give you plenty of opportunity to improve you fluency. Talking students are a teacher’s dream, so do try and don’t worry about making mistakes. I believe in learning by doing, which means it’s imperative to try to talk as soon as you can and learn from your mistakes as you go along. If you try to be perfect before you open your mouth, you’ll never speak at all. Nobody will make fun of you if you struggle, make mistakes or can’t find the right words.</p>\n<p>Good advice, right? Probably, but it’s just not going to happen. Most students are too shy to talk to foreigners or too afraid of making mistakes when talking. As for talking in the classroom, even though I try to make students as comfortable as possible and use materials and topics adapted to age and level, students all too often clam up and are quite unwilling to utter more than a few one-word answers. With some groups, getting learners to talk is like pulling teeth. </p>\n<p>Even with one of my private students, getting the young adult to say something is often mission impossible. I only get very short and slow answers in reply to my questions and the student continually wants to use a dictionary to look up words she doesn’t know, although I usually pre-teach important words. Moreover, I’ve told her countless times that a combination of simple words can be used to describe an unknown word, e.g. cancer is a dangerous disease, disease is something that makes you sick, subway is an underground train, coughing is a noise you make when you have a cold etc. All to no avail. Every time I see her, I try as hard as I can hoping that she’ll get it one day. I’m sure she will eventually. Anyway, by the time I really feel like banging my (or rather her) head against the wall during a lesson because she’s yet again trying to convey her ideas by just looking pleadingly into my eyes and willing me to read her mind, we do some grammar or reading exercises and all is well. After all, I’m no mind-reader nor do I have other supernatural powers.</p>\n<p>Read, listen, watch, write, think<br />\nRead newspaper articles, books, Internet stories, course book materials or anything else that’s in English. Not only will reading boost your vocabulary, which will in turn enhance your fluency, it will also improve your insight into the structure of the language, hence make you better at writing. It doesn’t really matter what you read, as long as you do it on a regular basis. If you really don’t know what to read or you don’t have regular access to English materials, get yourself an English-English dictionary and read a few entries whenever you feel like it. The Basic Oxford Dictionary costs only 99 baht and provides not only an English explanation of words, but also examples and a Thai translation. A bargain really. Also, when studying a language, I think it’s important to surround yourself with it. English books or newspapers lying around, a few posters in English, your Internet homepage in English, all bits help. Don’t expect all that knowledge to seep straight into your brain, but give it some time – a long time actually – and you may notice that you pick up a few words or expressions along the way.</p>\n<p>Listen to anything you can in English. Getting your ear tuned into to that strangest of languages is also vital if communication with other human beings is what you’re aiming for. Do it as much and as early in life as you can, because it is quite difficult to improve your listening skills just inside the classroom. Don’t just try to understand conversational and informal English but use it actively yourself whenever you can. You’ll benefit greatly from it later in life. If you don’t, well… just look at doctors. Many Thai doctors are fairly proficient in academic English, but unfortunately they all too often talk nonsense when explaining something (like many foreign doctors actually). When they talk to you realise that they speak English, but you don’t really understand what they say because they are incapable of using everyday words to describe a patient’s condition.<br />\nWhy don’t you start off by simply listening to the radio news (Virgin 95.5Mhz) every day? Don’t get disappointed when you don’t understand everything, as it is quite fast and sometimes difficult to understand. Arm yourself with a tape recorder so you can listen to it several times until you get most of it (this can be done with a group of friends). Use a dictionary. It’s a challenge but it will do you a lot of good in the long run.</p>\n<p>Watching TV, films, anything that exposes you to authentic materials and a different range of accents is just an extension of the listening practice, with moving pictures as an added bonus (probably necessary for the many comic book addicts). It’s also a good idea have a small notebook ready in case you don’t understand an expression and you wish to discuss it with your teacher (or anyone else) later.</p>\n<p>Write in English. It doesn’t have to be seven novels of a new Harry Potter series, just a few words will do as a start. Start a diary, find email friends or online chat friends (which really shouldn’t be a problem in the Internet Age), or just write whatever comes into your head in a special notebook to keep track of your progress. Many people hate writing, but it’s a skill that might come in handy one day. Your writing skills might even be a lifesaver if you ever need to take a TOEFL or IELTS test later on in life.</p>\n<p>Think in English as much as you can. When you’re having a conversation, try not to think in your own language before translating into English. If you can do this, fluency will come naturally after a while. I know it may be difficult in the beginning, so why not start on your own without the pressure of somebody to talk to. Think and talk to yourself in English. Imagine you’re having a conversation or a discussion or describe everything you see around you in English. You may be surprised of how many everyday words you don’t know. Use a dictionary to do some additional vocabulary building.</p>\n<p>Use the Internet to put into practice some of the above mentioned tips. Listen to online radio stations, download music and lyrics, surf to the Bangkok Post or Student Weekly sites and check out their free stories and learning materials (www.bangkokpost.com and www.student-weekly.com). Write emails and chat to friends. Find some international friends online (www.interpals.net) if you haven’t done so far. The Internet is anonymous and easy to use, so it should be doable for even the shyest or clumsiest of surfers. Do online tests and quizzes, look for test preparations materials, read message boards or participate in discussion boards. Although you’re not actually facing someone, all of this won’t do your English any harm, quite on the contrary.</p>\n<p>Good advice, right? Probably, but it’s just not going to happen. Reading isn’t the favourite pastime in Thailand, not even reading in the mother tongue. Picking up an English book or newspaper seems to be a problem for many. When surfing, the majority of learners will have a hard time not straying to the popular Thai sites or gaming websites. As for writing, even though finding online friends is easy and straightforward and chatting online anonymous, I haven’t seen it happen very often. Diaries are probably a Western thing and thinking is something that doesn’t seem to be encouraged in local education.</p>\n<p>What to do about it<br />\nYou’ve just read what the students can do to improve their English on their own. What can teachers do to help them? For starters, teachers should do their very best to be good teachers. I don’t want to explain in detail what makes a good teacher (maybe in another column), but I think we’re looking for words such as flexible, empathetic, motivating, well-prepared, intelligent, good sense of humour, patient, etc. By the way, I’m talking about one single teacher, not seven. If a teacher doesn’t even bother motivating students, who will?</p>\n<p>As for the students, when the teacher tries hard to get them interested in learning English or motivate them, the students should put in a little – or should I say big – effort themselves to let themselves be motivated. I can’t stress enough that learning a language depends significantly on the learners’ will to learn it. Drive, motivation, the will to learn, the passion for a language is what can help people acquire a foreign language relatively quickly and painlessly. In my experience, unfortunately, this motivation is what is lacking most in learners of English, esp. the younger ones. It doesn’t matter how hard a teachers tries, if the students aren’t willingly participating, the effort will more often than not be a waste of time. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, some people are changing their attitude towards learning English and really work hard to get better at it. Right now, I think the winners of this changing attitude are mainly motivated university students looking into the future at a possible career where English is important. Other winners are young professionals trying to get a promotion in the company they work for and, last but not least, a handful of young learners – children as well as teenagers - for whom studying English has become something they really enjoy. The former ones are probably motivated by financial reasons, whereas the latter are often unconditionally motivated, probably thanks to parents, teachers or parent-teachers. Hopefully more people will follow soon.</p>\n<p>Let’s also not forget that all schools should have sufficient and adequate teachers and good learning materials should be available. A good curriculum, well-trained and motivated teachers using efficient learning methods and appropriate resources are important keys to success. Sounds obvious and logical, but it’s no small feat in some parts of the world, believe me.</p>\n<p>A final word<br />\nI am aware that the tone of the column has been rather pessimistic. Do I really think it’s not going to happen and are students doomed forever? The answer is no. Although I think the immediate future is still looking rather bleak, I can see a watery sun at the horizon. More and more people are beginning to understand the importance of (some) English in education. For many people, English might be important for their future. </p>\n<p>Policymakers are beginning to see the light and are changing their attitudes towards education, not only for English but also for computer classes and the way the national curriculum is taught in the mother tongue. Rote-learning will gradually be phased out and replaced by more effective learning methods (see column November 2005). Let’s not forget, however, that government schemes shouldn’t try to make the whole nation proficient in English within the next five years, but should ensure that the people who will need it most – esp. the younger generations - will be able to use the mere basics of the most important international language fairly fluently.</p>\n<p>Although everybody starts learning English in secondary school, few become fluent. This is mainly due to large classrooms (in my opinion, fifteen students per classroom is a maximum to learn a language effectively, ten or less is ideal), a poorly designed curriculum, old-fashioned teaching methods and sometimes unqualified teachers. Fortunately, something seems to be moving and I expect to see a few changers for the better in the years to come.</p>\n<p>A number of learners complement their school education by taking private language courses. Language schools are booming and students enrol for all kinds of different courses, both class and private courses. Conversation classes, general English and test preparation courses are among the most popular. Needless to say that most students benefit greatly from these extra hours of study, which are often done in small groups with an experienced native speaker.</p>\n<p>A final word of caution though. Although some English courses offered by language schools can be quite costly (especially the one-on-one courses), students shouldn’t expect the course fee to include a magic potion (like the famous bird’s nest beverage that comes in small, expensive bottles) to boost their English skills. Nor should they expect that skills will be transferred by just listening to a teacher without actively participating in a lesson. As someone said on this website, there are no magic (English) bullets. Also, I imagine we’re still a long way from being able to clone and transplant English stem cells or inserting a bionic memory stick into someone’s brain. Until we can, becoming proficient in English will involve a hard day’s work. Don’t get discouraged. Consider it a hobby and get addicted. Learning can be fun.</p>\n<p>+++</p>\n<p>This has been the longest column so far. I hope you didn’t get bored by it. There might not be a lot of news in it for teachers, but sometimes I think it’s good to read the basics again and think about them.

I don’t think the column would be good reading material for actual students, unless you cut out my cynical remarks which predict none of it is going to happen.</p>\n<p>Finally, I’d like to wish everyone a lot of teaching pleasure in 2006 and thank all the readers who reacted to my columns.

Mr. Chaturon said Thai-language teaching needed to undergo a radical change since children were not good at their mother tongue.','<p>Some time ago (end of October 2005), I read an interesting article in the Bangkok Post entitled “Chaturon wants less rote learning”, about the way Thai children are being taught in primary and secondary Thai schools. In it, I discovered a number of quite astonishing facts which I would like to share with you readers. Like last month, I’ll highlight the most important passages and add a few of my own comments.</p>\n<p>• “To improve Thai-language skills amongst youngsters, Education Minister Chaturon Chaisaeng plans to cut rote learning and introduce more reading and writing. (…) Mr. Chaturon said Thai-language teaching needed to undergo a radical change since children were not good at their mother tongue. He proposed less rote learning of the structure and more focus on reading and writing. He believed more enjoyable learning activities improve students’ skills. “I don’t mean that all schools must quit teaching structure but I’d like children to start learning less by rote. With more writing, children will automatically develop an understanding of the structure (…),” Mr. Chaturon said.”</p>\n<p>Good old Chaturon. The man might not be perfect, but I thought this was one of his better proposals. Although rote learning can have its benefits, I think a lot of Thai students are in danger of an overdose of this educational medicine. If a student’s education is mainly based on learning by using memory rather than understanding (which is what rote learning is), graduates might turn out to be well-educated parrots rather than proficient scholars capable of creative and critical thinking.<br />\nHe specifically targeted Thai-language education because – and this came as a surprise to me – not only are children bad at learning English, they aren’t good at Thai either. I have to agree that putting more focus on reading and writing and introducing more enjoyable learning activities could well enhance the students’ interest in learning. Although I still have my doubts, knowing that the students can’t fail exams (see column November 2005), I think this proposal is a step in the right direction. I thought the idea would be applauded by Thai academics, but it seemed that I had misjudged them yet again. Read on.</p>\n<p>• “Pornpilai Lertvicha, a senior researcher at the Thailand Research Fund, said it was wrong to cut out rote learning because younger children were especially good at learning the structure of a language. Postponing structural lessons to later years of study would lead to students being too old to learn. A combination of structural and practical study was needed.”</p>\n<p>When I first read this researcher’s reaction, I thought she must have some kind of mental disability herself. Understanding clearly isn’t her forte, because the Minister proposed learning less by rote, not cutting it out completely. Although younger children are usually good at learning by rote, she still seems to think that this method of instruction is the Holy Grail of education, which history proves it definitely isn’t.<br />\nBy the way, whatever happened to the saying that people are never too old to learn? ‘Students being too old too learn’ sounds like some kind of oxymoron to me. I’ve seen grandfathers going back to school to finish their education and obtain their high school. While we are entering an age where lifelong learning is necessary to keep up with a job’s requirements, this researcher apparently still lives in the past. She surely can’t invoke the saying ‘leave well enough alone’ to keep rote learning on the educational menu, as Thai teaching methods using rote learning seemed to have failed miserably over the last decades.</p>\n<p>• “Chontira Sayawatana, director of the Centre of Thai-Asian Studies at Rangsit University, said that although the country’s literacy rate was as high as 94%, the Thai-language knowledge of primary and secondary school students was declining. She said that in 2002 the ratio between students passing and failing their Thai-language tests was around 50:50. (…) But she said that a similar survey last year (2004) found that all students in the surveyed grades failed their exams.”</p>\n<p>I was astonished yet again. On the one hand the official literacy rate is very high but on the other hand – according to this mentioned survey – half of the primary and secondary school students failed their Thai-language tests in 2002 and all of them (!) failed said tests in 2004. It’s simply incredible. Of course no student had to repeat a year thanks to the no-fail policy. Unless you’re as blind as a bat, it’s obviously clear that something needs to be done about these abysmal results.</p>\n<p>• “Mrs. Chontira said the curriculum aimed only to teach students to listen, speak and write Thai and know about Thai literature. It failed to make students love the language and know enough to create their own work. The Ministry should return to the old curricula that included learning through poetry, she said.”</p>\n<p>I think there is nothing wrong with the general aims of the current curriculum (teaching listening, speaking, writing and literature). It must be the way it is being taught that is not working. Making students love the language is a teacher’s job. Changing the curriculum without changing the teachers – or training them better - won’t help at all.<br />\nI completely disagree that the Ministry should return to a curriculum that includes learning through poetry. Let’s reserve poetry for university students who willingly read and study it. Anyway, what will primary and secondary school students get out of poetry? They’ll probably end up having to learn poems by rote.</p>\n<p>• “Kanchana Naksakul, president of the Association of Thai-language Teachers of Thailand, said rote learning could not be separated from Thai language education and the Education Ministry was focusing too much on teaching modern technology such as computer and English language rather than Thai-language education.”</p>\n<p>To end the Bangkok Post article, another dinosaur got a word in. This advocate of rote learning as the staple of Thai language education lashed out against computer classes and English language teaching. Although I personally think it is very important for Thai students to master their mother tongue, blaming computer and English classes for the poor Thai language knowledge of students is ridiculous. Blame the poorly designed curriculum, blame the sometimes badly trained or archaic teachers, blame the system (no one can fail, remember), blame the government for insufficient resources, but don’t go blaming modern subjects such as computer science and English, without which Thai students will never get anywhere in the modern world. I guess this guy was just pissed off because nobody seems to give a damn about Thai language proficiency lately, all eyes being on the more prestigious English programmes and computer schooling.</p>\n<p>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>The problems discussed above seemed to be confirmed a few weeks later (19/11/2005) in another Bangkok Post article about an assessment by UNESCO and the OECD.</p>\n<p>• “Thailand also has a problem of functional literacy skills, UNESCO Asia and Pacific regional bureau for education director Mr. Schaeffer added. Although Thai government figures put the adult literacy rate at 92.6%, an assessment by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) found that 37% of 15-year-old students were performing at a level indicative of very low reading abilities. In mathematics, the OECD report found tat only 40% of the 15-year-old student population had basic math skills.”</p>\n<p>I wasn’t really surprised by the fact that Unesco found the Thai literacy skills painfully lacking, but I found it most disturbing that the math skills were highly underdeveloped too. Can you imagine? Less than half of the Thai teenagers have basic math skills. We’re not talking about algebra or trigonometry, but about the fundamentals of mathematics such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. No wonder half of the population can’t even balance their bank accounts. I don’t really know what can be done to improve these skills, but one thing is sure: this situation is unacceptable and something has to be done quickly to remedy it.</p>\n<p>Finally, if Thailand wants to be part of the global community of scholars and innovators, sending its sons and daughters to foreign centres of study and research, in other words study and work abroad, Thai policy-makers will have to realise soon that swift and efficient action has to be taken, better sooner than later.<br />\nStudying at a foreign university or working for an international company requires a fair amount of creativity, critical and inventive thinking, original ideas and the capability of having and expressing one’s personal opinions. If Thai education doesn’t prepare students for these challenges, Thailand will never become the centre of anything in the world like the Great Leader wishes and it will forever remain a backbencher in the eyes of the international community.</p>','','2005-12-01 08:40:01',1,'2005-12-01 08:40:01','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(175,8,'The magical land','the-magical-land','Where no student fails an exam','Yes, dear readers, students in Thailand simply cannot fail exams.

Most people consider exams to be an important part of the process of educating students. Getting good grades is usually important as well. Indeed, failing exams in a Western country can have dire consequences for your studies, your future job opportunities, and your whole life. Places where it is impossible to fail exams only exist in the students’ wildest imagination. Surely no place on Earth can be that accommodating. Well, think again, there is such a place and it is called Thailand.</p>\n<p>Yes, dear readers, students in Thailand simply cannot fail exams. This probably comes as a very big surprise for the people unfamiliar with the Thai situation, but believe me, it is true. Well, it is still true at the time of writing, but maybe not for long anymore. On September 29, I read an article in the Bangkok Post entitled “Repeat class threat for students”. Let me give you the gist and a few personal comments.</p>\n<p>“The Basic Education Commission has approved a proposal that public primary and secondary schools nationwide should once again be able to make students who perform poorly repeat the same class the next year.”</p>\n<p>To me and my slightly prejudiced Western mindset, this is no more than basic common sense. I was rather surprised when I first learned that Thai (elementary and secondary) schools were unable to make students repeat the same class if their results were unacceptable. Surely everyone can see the logic behind this new move. I read on and was quite surprised to read that “the move (…) was met with concern by academics worried about the possible psychological and social effect on failed pupils.” I wonder who those academics are. Surely they can’t be people who want Thai students to perform well based on merit and obtain a worthy degree. After all, what is the value of a degree if no one can fail? In my opinion, it’s not even worth the paper it’s printed on. But no, the academics don’t see it that way. I guess I know why. It’s culture.</p>\n<p>Thailand is a society where gaining and losing face is accorded an enormous importance. Now, we can’t have little Somchai fail his exams, can we? What would the family, neighbours and friends think? They might think he is not so gifted after all. It would be a massive loss of face for the student having to repeat a year and his parents would equally lose face in the eyes of the rest of the world (i.e. Thailand). We can’t have that, can we? The fact that little Somchai might be lazy and stupid isn’t even considered. His teacher(s) would probably lose face as well, because they could be fingered as the real culprit(s) behind little Somchai’s poor performance. </p>\n<p>Thai teachers are probably accustomed to this situation by now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if foreign teachers get a bit frustrated when they can’t fail students who can barely write their name in English or can’t even answer the simplest of questions. Not even the ones who deliberately refuse to study in order to pass a fairly simple exam. Hence the ubiquitous multiple choice grammar tests where the only requirement to take it is capability of ticking a box or circling a letter. </p>\n<p>Mind you, not everyone will fail if the new system gets implemented. “Primary and secondary pupils with a grade point average (GPA) of under 1.00 and who have shown bad and irresponsible behaviour throughout the year should be failed and made to repeat (...)” Sounds logical to me. What is truly incredible is the fact that right now students with not only an amazingly low GPA (by the way, the maximum GPA is 4.00), but also severe behavioural problems still pass! Not for long anymore. Things are finally going to change. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my hopes were instantly crushed by the last four words of the previous sentence, namely: “(…) if the parents agreed.” Can you believe it? I can’t really see what the fuss is all about. The proposal is already dead in the water. Schools can make a student repeat a year if the parents agree. What kind of wishful thinking is that? What kind of Thai parent would agree to have the apple of their eye – even if they are a spoilt, lazy, or retarded brat – repeat a year and become the scorn of the rest of the world? No parent, that’s the answer and also the end of the educational reform. I can’t understand why they bothered at all to launch this proposal when they plan to provide a loophole bigger than the hole in the ozone layer.</p>\n<p>By the way, this proposal was launched following “complaints that the quality of education had fallen over three decades of leniency when schools would not let students fail for fear of being accused of not doing their job properly.” That didn’t exactly surprise me. And there we go again; the ‘losing-face’ devil rears its ugly head again. I agree that it is a school’s responsibility to provide a decent education and that teachers should do their utmost to help students master the subject matter that is being taught. On the other hand, it is the student’s responsibility to act seriously and responsibly and study from time to time, even if it isn’t really ‘sanuk’ (fun). Furthermore, it’s the parents responsibility to somewhat supervise the students’ efforts.</p>\n<p>I couldn’t agree more that if the proportion of failed students is unusually high, there may be a problem with the teacher involved, or the teaching materials might not be of the appropriate level. No student should be the victim of an inadequate educational system or a badly designed curriculum. But what has been going on for decades, namely the dumbing down of the exams so that every student can pass, is definitely not the solution to the problem. </p>\n<p>Again, what’s the value of an education and a degree if it’s impossible to fail? The country’s educational policy will become the laughing stock of the rest of the academic world, and rightly so. Thai graduates will have a hard time finding a good job on the international job market because most personnel managers know that a Thai degree doesn’t say much about the capabilities of an individual. </p>\n<p>Finally, will this proposal – if it ever takes effect - change the way things are done in the Kingdom? Probably not. Most Thais are here to stay. The majority of them will find a job with a local company that doesn’t care whether the applicant has had a Thai or Western-style education. A degree is a degree, never mind how easy is was to obtain it. Not being able to fail exams is probably a deeply ingrained cultural thing, and Thais will shrug off the scorn and derision of the international academic community. After all, this is an internal affair and foreigners shouldn’t criticise the Thai way of doing things.</p>\n<p>= = =</p>\n<p>This newspaper article and the discussed proposal were about the primary and secondary school system. I wondered if this impossible-to-fail rule also affected higher education. As I’m not completely familiar with what goes on at university level, I asked half a dozen of my university students. These students usually come to the language school where I work in order to perfect their already nearly impeccable English. They all love speaking to foreigners, listening to the news in English, writing essays and reading English poetry. I asked half a dozen students about the grading system at their respective universities and the (im)possibility to fail or having to repeat a year.</p>\n<p>As I had expected, every single one of them knew the rules about grades, passing and failing by heart, and they could all explain it briefly and clearly in academic English without the slightest of hesitations. Some even offered to write a paper about the subject or give a class presentation, but I respectfully declined their offer. I reckoned Thailand’s finest had more pressing matters to attend to than explain the gist of their grades in minute detail to a foreign ignoramus. After all, these youths all have a high workload and extremely difficult exams to deal with. That’s why most of them hardly ever go out and have no social life at all. I can remember one of my students falling asleep every time she came to class. This was because she never went to bed earlier than 6 AM. She stayed up every night to study and prepare assignments. </p>\n<p>Thai university students are basically concerned with one thing only: studying hard and obtaining excellent grades. They never waste time on their appearance, esp. not the girls. You’ll never see Thai girls wasting time to make sure their hair is well brushed or their make-up is well applied. When they go to class – and, truth be told, they hardly ever skip classes – they only take the basic necessities with them, i.e. course book, pencil and paper. They usually leave their mobile phones at home in order not to be disturbed, and if they do bring them into the classroom, they will invariably switch them off and never use them during a class, not even for texting. The small talk and chitchat before and after class is always about the subject that is taught and strategies to score well on tests. They will never cheat on exams, as they consider it uncool.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I didn’t need a five-page essay or a one-hour presentation from these fine students to explain to me how good and difficult the Thai university system is. I asked them to tell me briefly about the situation where they studied, and these are a few of the explanations the different students came up with. They were never contradictory and always crystal clear. Here is a summary of what they told me:</p>\n<p>• If you get bad grades, you have to repeat the year.<br />\n• If you get bad grades, you have to repeat the subject(s).<br />\n• If you get bad grades, you don’t have to repeat the year.<br />\n• If your overall grades are lower than GPA 2.00, you cannot go to the next year.<br />\n• You have to retire (sic) – i.e. stop studying - if your GPA is under 2.00.<br />\n• You cannot go to the next year if your GPA is lower than 2.00 for more than one or two consecutive terms.<br />\n• You cannot go to the next year if you have an F for any or every subject.<br />\n• If you have an F, you have to repeat that particular subject, but cannot go to the next year.<br />\n• You only have to repeat a subject if you get an F and you can go to the next year.</p>\n<p>Admit it, it can’t get any clearer than this, can it? I was completely enlightened, and I hope the same can be said for all of you readers. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the importance and quality of a Thai degree. Academics from all around the world acknowledge that Thailand has one of the toughest systems in the world, so obtaining a degree from a Thai university commands the highest respect.</p>','','2005-11-01 08:46:34',1,'2005-11-01 08:46:34','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(176,8,'Whinging farangs','whinging-farangs','Foreigner moans and groans','I have started to realise that a considerable part of the Western community in Thailand thrives on complaining and grumbling about the way things are done in the Kingdom.

There are small as well as major obstacles to overcome if one wants to fit in.</p>\n<p>Some foreigners &ndash; or farang, to use their Thai pet name - are more than willing to adjust to the Thai way of living and doing things, whereas others try as hard as they can not to become integrated (or &lsquo;assimilated&rsquo;).</p>\n<p>Lately though, I have started to realise that a considerable part of the Western community in Thailand thrives on complaining and grumbling about the way things are done in the Kingdom.</p>\n<p>Is their moaning justified? Do expats have a right to criticise everything they don&rsquo;t like about Thailand? Do they have any rights at all?</p>\n<p>Now let me tell you first that in my opinion the expat community in Bangkok is not exactly a jolly bunch. It&rsquo;s definitely not a tightly knit group where you can make friends or socialise easily.</p>\n<p>A lot has been written about this subject on various Internet websites, and most people tend to agree that there is a kind of &lsquo;every man for himself&rsquo; attitude in the city. Some claim this isn&rsquo;t a local phenomenon, but rather a worldwide one.</p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t go out very often and I certainly don&rsquo;t try to socialise wherever I go, but when I do see the occasional farang - even out in the suburbs where I live - and I give him a smile or a nod, I often get an icy or puzzled stare in return. It&rsquo;s as if people get suspicious when someone says hello to them.</p>\n<p>When I get to the stage where communication takes place, with either colleagues or strangers, the conversation is more often than not about what they don&rsquo;t like about living and working here, rather than the reasons they are here for. Let me briefly go into to a few classics.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s (four-letter word) hot today.&rdquo;</h3>\n<p>What did you expect? Thailand isn&rsquo;t far from the Equator and has a tropical climate with three seasons (two in the South): the cool season, the rainy season and the hot season. Some refer to them as hot, hotter, hottest.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure it was hot the first time you came here, so why complain about it now whenever you get the chance? Although I thoroughly dislike air-conditioning, there is a lot of it around. Some people have actually told me they would die without it. Quite pathetic, isn&rsquo;t it?</p>\n<p>What about the few billion people who live in the tropics and have to do without? By the way, according to the season, the topic can change from hot to rainy.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;The traffic is horrible.&rdquo;</h3>\n<p>I can&rsquo;t deny that the traffic usually is terrible in the city centre. On the other hand, I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;s quite horrible in every major city I know, be it Asian or Western.</p>\n<p>Many people still prefer the convenience of driving their cars everywhere they go and apparently don&rsquo;t mind being stuck in a traffic jam. I guess that both the quality of public transport and the level of oil prices are still not high enough to deter people from using their own vehicles.</p>\n<p>I know that the weather and the traffic are small talk topics all over the world, but it seems that here, people will only talk about it if they&rsquo;re bad. I&rsquo;ve never heard anyone say that it was a nice day and that there wasn&rsquo;t a lot of traffic.</p>\n<p>Anyway, the situation isn&rsquo;t about to change overnight, so you might as well get used to it.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;Thais are so stupid.&rdquo;</h3>\n<p>Thais are different from Westerners, that&rsquo;s for sure. Are they stupid? According to people educated in a Western society, they might seem to have a very strange way of doing things. They think differently, act differently, have other ideas and values, have a different culture.</p>\n<p>The Thai way of reasoning does indeed often defy Western logic. Their concepts like for example &lsquo;mai pen rai&rsquo;, &lsquo;kreng jai&rsquo;, &lsquo;sanuk&rsquo;, and &lsquo;losing face&rsquo; are virtually unheard of in Western cultures. Calling a whole population retarded because of their non-conformity to Western culture seems a bit bigoted and prejudiced to me though.</p>\n<p>As for the students, it&rsquo;s a given that their level of English is way below the international average. I wouldn&rsquo;t attribute these abysmal capabilities solely to a lack of brainpower though. It seems to me that they are rather the result of poorly designed curriculums, where emphasis has been placed for years on just one skill (mastering grammar).</p>\n<p>Furthermore, the fact that student cannot fail exams doesn&rsquo;t contribute to a learning culture (it really makes you wonder why there are exams at all).</p>\n<p>Last but not least, in Thai society everything that is done has to be &lsquo;sanuk&rsquo; (fun). Although learning can be fun, if one wants to become fluent in English they will have to put in a considerable effort. Also, both students and policy-makers should start to realise that learning a language cannot be done in a few weeks or even months. It&rsquo;s a process that takes years.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;Thai girls only want your money.&rdquo;</h3>\n<p>Thai-farang relationships have been a hotly discussed item for many years. Do these nice, lovely, dark-skinned ladies only want a Western husband because of their money? Does love still play a part in these relationships? Why do they often end in misery?</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure a good number of Thai women do love their Western partner. They are not just in it for the money, although it is undeniable that money and support &ndash; not just for the wife, but also for her parents and family &ndash; are a much bigger issue than in any farang-farang relationship. Let&rsquo;s face it, most mixed relationships are combinations of&nbsp;Western haves and Thai have-nots.</p>\n<p>In Asian culture and in Buddhist religion, taking care of the family is something that is ingrained in most people. I suppose a large number of farangs just don&rsquo;t realise what to expect from a relationship and how to behave in a Thai way. Willingness to adapt yourself to the Thai way of life is essential, because Thais will have a fairly hard time adapting themselves to Western culture.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m also sure that a good number of Thai girls are in the business for the money and the money only. The same can be said of their greedy friends and parents. Does this make them all bad? I think that depends on your expectations.</p>\n<p>Do you really think a gorgeous 25-year old chooses an ageing, overweight, balding farang as a boyfriend because he is such a stud or good conversationalist? Get real.</p>\n<h3>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m fed up with the food.&rdquo;</h3>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s too spicy, it&rsquo;s always the same, I don&rsquo;t like it anymore, I need my pot roast, KFC and hamburgers.&rdquo; Well, I&rsquo;ve got news for you. The food is just the same as the first day you set foot here.</p>\n<p>If you liked it then, why don&rsquo;t you like it now? Maybe because you were on holiday, and now you&rsquo;ve realised that eating Thai food every day isn&rsquo;t your cup of tea after all.</p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t forget that Thai cuisine is considered one of the best and most versatile in the world. If you&rsquo;re eating more farang food than Thai food and spend more time in fast food restaurants or British pubs, maybe you should ask yourself why you are living in Thailand.</p>\n<p>These above-mentioned negative statements are usually made by foreigners living in Thailand. I&rsquo;ve hardly ever heard a tourist utter the same complaints. So does the Thai way of life really gets to you when you&rsquo;ve lived here for a longer time? I guess it does. On the other hand, it is human nature to emphasise negative rather than positive experiences.</p>\n<p>Now what can we do about these negatives feelings many farangs seem to have? I don&rsquo;t have all the answers, but I&rsquo;ll nevertheless give a few tips.</p>\n<p>&bull; Why not stop eating for a few days? I reckon most farangs have enough stored body fat to survive for a few days. Then you might start to appreciate the food again.</p>\n<p>&bull; Save some energy and turn of the air-conditioning once in a while. Buy a fan. Most people don&rsquo;t die from a bit of heat. Take things easy. Don&rsquo;t rush around. If you often find yourself drenched in sweat going from one place to another, you&rsquo;re schedule is probably too busy.</p>\n<p>&bull; Don&rsquo;t try to be in charge of everything, esp. when dealing with Thais. Let them do their thing. If you want to have your say all the time, you&rsquo;ll just get frustrated and miserable.</p>\n<p>&bull; Don&rsquo;t be too gullible. If you believe a stunning girl who professes her eternal love for you after one steamy night of paid entertainment, you deserve to be taken for a ride.</p>\n<p>&bull; If you ever buy property or wheels, be mentally prepared not to see that money ever again if things turn sour.</p>\n<p>&bull; Take a break. Go on holiday inside or outside of Thailand and relax. If you want to do so and can afford it, visit your home country and ask yourself if you&rsquo;d prefer to live there. If so, do yourself a favour and get out of Thailand. If not, you might appreciate it here a bit more.</p>\n<p>Finally, remember that there is the farang-side of the coin, which isn&rsquo;t always flattering either. The way some farangs behave might give Thais the idea that they are just a bunch of surly, rude people with a rather poor personal hygiene. They are confrontational cheapskates who dress ridiculously and don&rsquo;t know jack shit about Thai culture.</p>\n<p>I know this is a stereotype, but it is sometimes true.</p>\n<p>Most of us are here to stay. Maybe not indefinitely, but at least for quite a long time. We&rsquo;re immigrants, even if our visas say non-immigrant. Let&rsquo;s make the best of it.</p>\n<p>Recently, someone pointed out in a letter to the editor in the Bangkok Post that we are just guests in the Kingdom and should therefore behave as such. I only agree partly with that statement. A lot of us have a job. If it&rsquo;s not a well-paid expat or embassy job, we&rsquo;re English teachers.</p>\n<p>Why are we here? Because we want too, but also because we are in demand. Thailand actually needs us. If we work here legally and pay taxes, we should at least have some basic rights like immigrants in the West have and not live in fear of being denied a visa renewal at the discretion of the Thai government.</p>\n<p>We don&rsquo;t deserve to be treated as a stray dog you take into your house and kick out when you&rsquo;re fed up with it. We deserve some respect. Fortunately, we often get it.</p>\n<p>I hope I didn&rsquo;t come across as a whinging farang myself.&nbsp;</p>','','2015-11-22 18:20:08',1,'2015-11-22 18:20:08','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(177,8,'TOEFL woes','toefl-woes','How Thai English speakers measure up','The Minister of Education apparently thinks it’s possible the revamp a whole educational approach in just a month.

TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language that students usually take when they want to study at a North American university or at a local university which runs an international programme.</p>\n<p>The 9000 Thais who took the test scored an average of 201 out of a possible 300 score, just one point above the Cambodians (200) and far behind the Singaporeans (252). To enter most universities, a minimum score of 213 is usually required (213 for the computer-based test or 550 for the paper-based test).</p>\n<p>A lot has been said and written about this poor result, but I doubt it a lot has been done so far. The Education Minister was very quick to react. He announced that there would be a major overhaul in the English language teaching programmes. Grammar and learning by rote will be replaced by a more communicative approach with a focus on speaking, listening and writing. He gave the schools one month to implement these changes.</p>\n<p>Yes, dear readers, you read this correctly. The Minister of Education apparently thinks it’s possible the revamp a whole educational approach in just a month. It made me wonder if he’s got any idea at all what he’s talking about. Everyone with more than a pea-brain should know that change – especially a change of this magnitude – is always a slow process. Moreover, people usually don’t like change. Thai teachers of English especially.</p>\n<p>I found proof of this reluctance in the fact that officials of the ministry stated that they had tried to persuade schools to change their teaching methods before the crushing outcome of the TOEFL survey, but that the schools and teachers usually refused. Although I suspect they released this statement in order to cover their collective asses, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually true. This raises the question why school administrators and educators would be opposed to a change for the better.</p>\n<p>I can think of a couple of reasons. As I already mentioned, people don’t like change. Changing the old ways of doing things requires an effort. This probably means extra work and added insecurity. Thai teachers aren’t paid well enough to expect a lot of them. I also suspect that a good number of local educators are simply incapable of changing their old habits. Not only because they’ve been using their methods for so long, but also because their spoken and written English is of such a poor standard that a change would be very demanding, if not impossible for them.</p>\n<p>The other day I spoke (or rather tried to speak) to a Thai teacher of English during a British Council workshop. To my astonishment, even a very simple conversation was far beyond her possibilities. Most of what I asked her drew a complete blank. I had the impression it was the first time she talked to a foreigner. I wondered how the hell she ever got a degree to teach English. </p>\n<p>Let’s face it. Many Thai teachers are quite good when it comes to teaching grammar and learning by rote. They master the art of talking about a foreign language (English) in their own language (Thai). The result of this is that students are often capable of passing a (not too difficult) multiple-choice grammar quiz, but their active knowledge of English is virtually non-existent.</p>\n<p>We all know something has to be done to improve the English skills of Thais, bearing in mind that the Prime Minister wants this beautiful country to become the Detroit of Asia, the Kitchen of the World, the Fashion Capital etc. To become an international player on this stage, entrepreneurs will surely expect to be able to do business in English. Furthermore, it is very important for university graduates to be able to use English fairly fluently in order to secure a decent job.</p>\n<p>So, is change necessary? Of course it is. Can change be achieved in one month? Of course not. We all know that it will take a much longer time. Giving schools a month is simply ridiculous. It will take at least six months to one year before anything will occur in the field. Teachers will have to be (re)trained. Resources will be needed, as well as a lot of planning and brainstorming. I just hope someone with more than half a brain will be put in charge of this master plan instead of some politically appointed pencil pusher who can barely utter three words of English.</p>\n<p>I could go on writing about all this, but I won’t because I feel I might get depressed. I will nevertheless end on a positive note. At least something seems to be moving in the Thai ESL world. People start to realise that something needs to be done urgently in order to improve the English skills of Thais. This is good. Change can actually be very rewarding and give people a new drive. Let’s just not think that change can occur within a month. A dramatic change will probably take a whole generation.</p>','','2005-09-01 08:54:47',1,'2005-09-01 08:54:47','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(178,8,'A bit of culture part two','a-bit-of-culture-part-two','The concept of face and other things','If a waiter in a restaurant screws up your order and brings you fishballs instead of the fried pork-skin on rice you ordered, most people won’t send it back or make a fuss about it.

Let me remind all of you that I do like Thailand and that these articles are not intended as criticism. I am totally against the globalisation of Western culture. Every continent and country should try to preserve its own culture and not ape another culture. That’s why I also think that in the English classroom, teachers shouldn’t try to shove their own culture down students’ throats, but focus on the language.</p>\n<p><b>Face</b><br />\nFace is extremely important in Thailand. I’m not referring to the physical meaning of face here. There’s nothing wrong with that. Lots of girls have very pretty faces actually. It’s the concept of gaining or - more importantly – losing face. The definition of “face” would be “a state of being respected by others”. In order to avoid losing face – or making others lose it - Thais will always try to avoid confrontation. </p>\n<p>If a waiter in a restaurant screws up your order and brings you fishballs instead of the fried pork-skin on rice you ordered, most people won’t send it back or make a fuss about it.

Just accept these mishaps and grin and bear it. Not always easy for Westerners.</p>\n<p>The face thing mainly prevents confrontation from taking place. People will hardly ever shout at each other or get angry. Even silent complaints are rare. I don’t mind people not arguing, but when it starts to affect the good running of a business – private company or government agency – I think it’s gone too far. Let’s face it: pissing off customers is economic suicide for private companies and constantly trying to avoid loss of face means avoiding responsibilities. That’s probably why pencil pushers at Thai ministries are incredibly slow when you need to get something done.</p>\n<p>Gaining face, on the other hand, can be easily done by displaying wealth. Again, it’s something rather unheard of most Western cultures. Spending lots of money on gold, Johnnie Walker Black Label, BMWs or Mercedes all have a common purpose: gain face. Of course, you have to make sure everyone can see your newly acquired wealth. So wear a highly visible, thick, gold chain or bracelet around your neck or wrist, drink Black Label in the company of others, and cruise the streets in your highly overpriced German car (thanks to the 300% import tax). </p>\n<p>Although I am not in the least impressed by people showing off their alleged wealth like this – after all, they might be heavily indebted to the banks – it will gain them lots of face and respect from Thais.</p>\n<p><b>Queuing</b><br />\nThais aren’t particularly good at the noble art of queuing. Unless there is some kind of physical barrier, like a rope, to force people to queue, they are not really inclined to form queues in front of ticket counters, coupon booths, bus stops, etc. And even if there is (the beginning of) a queue, many won’t hesitate to jump the queue without flinching.</p>\n<p>The only places where you can usually see people queuing in an orderly fashion are banks. More often than not, there are long lines of people waiting in or even outside banks to get their banking business done. As far as I know, this must be caused by the sheer number of customers banks have, the absence of electronic or automated transactions not needing the intervention of a bank teller, and the lack of employees at most branches.</p>\n<p><b>Smiles</b><br />\nThailand is also called LOS, meaning the Land of Smiles. I have to admit, Thais do smile a lot. A lot more than their Western counterparts. True, their smiles are not always genuine, but more often than not, they are.<br />\nMost of the tourists really appreciate their friendliness, and I have to admit that as a long-term resident, even I prefer a smiling face to dull, bored, unsmiling one every day of the week.</p>\n<p><b>Skin whitening</b><br />\nPeople want to be the opposite of what they are. If you’re black, you want to be white. If you’re white, you want to be black (or dark, sun-tanned at least). That’s the way of the world. No wonder most Thai girls prefer a white skin to a dark one. Most of them have a rather dark complexion and dream of having a white, pale skin. That’s why the market for skin-whitening products is booming. Personally, I don’t think these lotions and potions make a difference, but locals are all too happy to buy and use them. </p>\n<p>Nearly every grooming product, from shower cream and talcum powder to body lotion and lip-gloss has a whitening variety. Some products are fairly cheap, normally priced even, whereas others can cost an arm and a leg. I am convinced that the cheaper ones are very good-quality products that do a fine job, but totally ineffective when it comes to whitening skin. Never mind. Maybe the skin will get paler due to a placebo effect.</p>\n<p>Often foreigners, tourists and expats alike, criticise the use of these skin-whiteners. I don’t think they should. Just have a look on any beach where farangs are present. Most of them lie in the sun for hours, trying to get a suntan. Not really healthy, is it? Before you know it, you’ll be in the doctor’s office with a case of skin cancer.</p>\n<p>As for the amount of flesh shown on a beach, farangs go by the motto “the less I wear, the better”. People shouldn’t think they can go topless on any beach in the world. Don’t get me wrong; I am completely in favour of scantily dressed, pretty women. On the other hand, I really prefer seeing a girl in a decent bikini or swimming costume that puts my imagination to work to a pair of wrinkled, floppy tits.</p>\n<p>All right.

If you are here for the first time, you’ll notice the obvious differences. It’s bloody hot compared to just about any Western country, apart from Northern Australia, which also has a tropical climate. Thai people smile a lot. A lot more than their Western counterparts do anyway. Everything is cheap. Dirt-cheap compared to prices in farangland. These differences are the usual suspects.</p>\n<p>If you live here though, you’ll experience a few more subtle differences. You’ll get to know Thai culture and Thai attitudes better and you’ll understand that Thais sometimes have a completely different view and way of doing things. The way they act and think is often beyond Western comprehension. </p>\n<p>Now let me first get one thing straight. I like Thailand and I like Thai people. They are very friendly and I usually don’t mind their strange behaviour and views. They say it’s culture. It’s not a problem for me, but the question is: can you handle it? With ‘you’, I mean the newly arrived farangs who are still in the so-called honeymoon period and think Thailand is heaven on earth. They’ll soon find out that not all is what it seems in paradise. Can they handle it? I can. For now.</p>\n<p>To clarify things, here’s a selection of differences I’ve discovered so far.</p>\n<p><b>Air</b><br />\nAir is the Thai word for air-conditioning. Thais love their air-conditioning. I agree that it can be pleasant to be able to get away from the sweltering heat from time to time, and relax in a nice, cool place. The problem is that more often than not, the air-conditioning is on full blast, making the environment you’re in not just cool but cold. If the outside temperature is 37 degrees Celsius and the air-conditioning is turned to 20, the sudden transition can give you quite a shock. Although 20 is relatively warm in absolute terms, it feels arctic when you just came in from the heat.</p>\n<p>Have you ever been to a Thai cinema? If you have, you’ll know that it’s always freezing in there. During my first visit, I was only wearing shorts and a T-shirt. I had to keep rubbing my arms and legs to prevent frostbite. A friend of mine brought his leather jacket to Thailand just for one reason: being able to go to the cinema.</p>\n<p>Other extreme examples include forms of public transport. Although the Skytrain is very fast and convenient, it should be called Skyfridge. The same goes for the recently opened subway and most air-conditioned buses. Taxi drivers are usually dangerous individuals too. Whenever they get the chance, they’ll try to freeze you to death. If someone ever expires in a metered taxi, rest assured that his corpse will be delivered fresher than ever to the nearest hospital.</p>\n<p>What can I say? It’s a way of life. Just ask a few of your students what they do when they have a day off. They’ll tell you they go to the shopping mall. They’re not really going shopping. The main reason for going there is window-shopping and hanging out with their friends in the chilly confines of the local mall.</p>\n<p><b>Loud, louder, loudest</b><br />\nThis is not a grammar lesson to remind you of the comparative and superlative forms. It’s about the way Thais like music. Wherever you go, the volume of the music that is being played will be set to high, higher or highest. Sitting in a bar doesn’t involve lots of meaningful conversation. Not just because Thais are incapable of it, but also because it is physically impossible to make yourself heard and understood while spending time in these venues.</p>\n<p>In many bars, there is often a live band performing, and they always produce more than the legally allowed 90 decibels. Don’t think you’ll be able to get your say during breaks, because a CD will then take over and make even more unwanted noise.</p>\n<p>The same is often true for shopping malls. The music played in many of the small shops, such as the ubiquitous clothes shops or video stores, isn’t the soft background music one would expect; it’s earsplitting noise that has only one effect on me: run an never come back.</p>\n<p><b>Walking</b><br />\nThais aren’t particularly good at walking. By walking, I mean just walking around in the shopping mall, on the pavement, anywhere really. I don’t refer to hiking or trekking; those are activities are entirely foreign to most Thais. People who do that are completely out of their mind, if you’d ask Somchai Samsong (the average Thai, in analogy with Joe Sixpack). No, I’m talking about using your feet to get from one place to another in daily situations.</p>\n<p>What’s wrong with the way Thai people walk? Objectively speaking, probably nothing. As always, experiencing another culture involves comparison with your native culture, however objective you try to be. I’d say that my normal walking pace is about twice that of the locals. This means that, according to my view of the world, Thais walk incredibly slowly.</p>\n<p>I do like a leisurely stroll in the park myself occasionally, but I’d never dream of obstructing pedestrian traffic wherever I go the way Thais do. I realise it’s no big deal, but their perambulations sometimes get on my nerves. I guess they are so slow because they don’t like to walk and they are hardly ever in a hurry. The tropical heat, the culture at work or the lack of a job are probable causes.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, there is an economic advantage to this aversion to walk. The fact that Thais are completely unwilling to do the tiniest bit of walking makes the day for all kinds of taxi services. Especially motorbike taxis benefit from the Thai reluctance to walk even 200 metres (I am not exaggerating). </p>\n<p>There are many more differences, but for now, my column ends here.

English is a language. The main purpose of a language is communication. ','<p>I met a Thai girl the other day. I looked into her eyes. She didn’t turn away but looked straight back. Bold, defiant, seductive. We started talking. She was nice and talkative. One thing led to another. We hit it off and ended up talking about English grammar!</p>\n<p>Sorry to lead you on, but this is not a Thai-farang love story. I suggest surfing to other websites if that’s your thing. Please don’t email me to get the web addresses. I’m sure most of you can google your way around the World Wide Web. By the way, I wonder how long it will take for the word google to turn up in mainstream dictionaries as a new word, a verb perhaps.</p>\n<p>Now here’s what really happened. I was waiting for a bus into town the other day while this Thai girl was standing next to me. As the bus approached, she opened her purse and dropped a few coins. Being the perfect gentleman, I picked them up handed them to her. She smiled and thanked me in Thai. </p>\n<p>I assumed this would be the end of our brief encounter, but to my surprise something remarkable happened. We made contact. We started talking. My Thai is all but perfect (read: it sucks) but to my relief, she spoke English. Her English wasn’t accurate or sophisticated, but she was quite fluent. More than that, her pronunciation was first-rate so I understood almost every word she said. I was flabbergasted. Rarely had I conversed before without having to ask my Thai counterpart to repeat things ad infinitum.</p>\n<p>Fon was a student at a well-known university in Bangkok. She had almost finished her first year of Political Science but still had some exams coming up. After the usual chitchat about her background, she told me that she had flunked her English exam, and not just by a narrow margin. It wasn’t a close call; it was a disaster. I wondered how that was possible, as her spoken English wasn’t bad at all, on the contrary.</p>\n<p>Being an English teacher myself, I wanted to know more about it. It turned out that she had three hours of English every week. Her teacher was a Thai lady who apparently didn’t do a lot of teaching, but instead instructed her students to read books. I couldn’t find out if the books she mentioned were textbooks or English novels. Unfortunately, dear Fon didn’t seem to grasp the difference between both and I decided not to push her too hard.</p>\n<p>I believe it’s likely that she meant reading textbooks. When you ask university students what they do in their free time, they often reply reading books. When you ask what kind of books they like to read and in what language, they turn out to be textbooks, so what the students really mean is that they study in their free time.</p>\n<p>She told me she didn’t know things like subject and object, adjectives and adverbs. The exam she referred to had clearly focused on grammar. It was probably one of those typical multiple choice grammar quizzes. There wasn’t an oral exam to uncover if students were actually capable of uttering some basic English sentences. Who needs conversation if you can have grammar rules?</p>\n<p>I wasn’t really surprised. I had heard many stories before about Thai teachers of English awarding a ridiculous importance to grammar, as if it were the best thing since sliced bread. Of course it’s obvious why they do it. For many of them, it’s the only thing they’re really comfortable with and good at when they are teaching. I don’t want to offend Thai teachers, but it is no secret that numerous Thai teachers aren’t great conversationalists in English. Quite a few speak heavily accented English and aren’t particularly fluent. If the Thai government is serious about improving educational standards, they should either provide more assistance and funding for Thai teachers or hire more well-trained Western teachers.</p>\n<p>I think it is quite absurd to reward students who are good at cramming grammar rules – and may not be fluent at all – and punish students who can speak English fairly well but aren’t very accurate. English is a language. The main purpose of a language is communication. Communication in daily life means talking to other people, not being able to explain in your mother tongue what the difference is between a transitive and intransitive verb.</p>\n<p>When I asked Fon if failing English would have negative consequences on her further studies, like preventing her from advancing into the next year, she shrugged and said it wouldn’t be a major problem. She’d just have to take the exam again and again and again until she passed. I was relieved. In the end justice might prevail. She deserves to pass English exams. I’m sure she’s much better than most of her fellow students who scored well on the test. I wish her well.</p>\n<p>= = =<br />\nAdditional comments</p>\n<p>How should people learn a language or how should teachers teach it? I don’t pretend to know the perfect way, but here are some ideas I’ve come across that I agree with. They are just a few theories about language acquisition but they are food for thought (note: I’ve translated boring, academic prose into understandable English).</p>\n<p>Form and function<br />\nIn language teaching, great attention should be paid to the relationship between form and function. Form means structure, grammar, while function indicates which type of language should be used in different social contexts. Function is more important than people think.<br />\nWhat good is it being able to form grammatically correct sentences without knowing how or when to use them? Imagine a student asking another student “How are you today, Sir?” and when seeing the school principal using the expression “How’s it hanging, dude?” Quite hilarious, isn’t it?</p>\n<p>Organic<br />\nLanguage learning is an organic process, not a brick-by-brick process. Teachers shouldn’t try to build a wall of grammatical bricks and then expect the students to be able to use them correctly. Instead, they should consider themselves farmers who sow grammatical oats. Some of these will germinate and keep on growing, giving the students essential information about the English language.<br />\nSometimes the oats will grow and flourish, while on other occasions they might not even germinate. Teachers will just have to accept that not every student’s brain is capable or willing to produce another language.</p>\n<p>Rules<br />\nThe teaching of rules is not helpful. Teaching students grammar rules first and then have them produce artificial sentences with these rules isn’t the best way to proceed. Students should be exposed to English as much as they can in order to familiarise themselves with the language. Then the teacher can have them use the target language without the need to pre-teach rules.<br />\nThis is probably similar to the way as an infant learns a language. I’m no expert, but I don’t think parents teach babies the difference between present simple and continuous, nor do they expect them to utter grammatically correct sentences when they start speaking.</p>\n<p>Inductive<br />\nThe learning of grammar should be inductive, rather than deductive. Students ought to discover grammar rules by themselves, be able to grasp the rule after having used lots of target language, rather than have the rules spelt out for them first and then start using them.<br />\nTo do this, teachers should try to use as much of the target language and structure as possible before teaching the actual rules. Immerse the students in the target structure and have them formulate the rules themselves afterwards.</p>\n<p>I’m sure there are many more theories, but my column ends here. If you’ve come up with a brilliant theory of your own, please keep me informed. To end the article, I have a quote I came across on the Internet. I think it hits the nail on the head.</p>\n<p>The mediocre teacher tells.<br />\nThe good teacher explains.<br />\nThe superior teacher demonstrates.<br />\nThe great teacher inspires.</p>\n<p>PS: I might write an article about the use of English in the classroom, particularly how much English is used in a typical Thai classroom. To this effect I have a set up a poll that will hopefully give me some more information. Please surf to http://www.geocities.com/opium1213/poll.html and vote.

It\'s just about names.</p>\n<p>Another title for this article could be \"What\'s in a (nick)name? It\'s about Thai culture, especially the use and choice of Thai nicknames.</p>\n<p>It\'s particularly interesting for people who are unfamiliar with the Thai situation. If you are already living in the Kingdom, you will know about it and maybe find it less interesting. I\'ve tried to make it as entertaining as possible though.</p>\n<h3>Official names</h3>\n<p>Like most people, Thais have a name and a surname. Nothing special about that, one might think. Indeed, that\'s not really front-page news. What is unusual is the fact that they never use their official names.</p>\n<p>The reason for this is quite simple: all Thai names are very long, complicated, and (certainly for farangs) quite unpronounceable. The different transcription systems to transform the unique Thai script into Roman characters make it extra difficult. The transcription for the /i:/ sound for example (as in sheep) can be \'ee\' as well as \'ii\', depending on the source.</p>\n<p>Try pronouncing Kittisak Kittisopano, Kantathi Suphamongkon or Barnharn Sipa-archa correctly and without stuttering. Quite a task, isn\'t it? By the way, it\'s also virtually impossible for farangs (for the uninitiated, this is the Thai word for Westerners) to determine if those names belong to men or women.</p>\n<p>Don\'t think I\'m using extremely difficult names because I\'m not. I just copied a few names at random from the Bangkok Post. Thank Buddha that they\'ve found a solution to this problem.</p>\n<h3>Mom and Dad know best</h3>\n<p>Unlike people from other countries, all Thais have a nickname. Like first names, nicknames are chosen by the parents and the children will probably use them for the rest of their natural lives. Personally, I think a name is quite important. It identifies who you are. It\'s a part of you. I definitely wouldn\'t want to be called Basil, Boogaloo, Bespectacle or Gonorrhea (a quick Google search turned up these REAL first names!).</p>\n<p>Now how do Thai parents choose these nicknames? Sometimes a nickname is just a short form of an official name. If your name is Jiraporn, you\'ll probably be called Porn (this is a frequently used Thai nickname and has got nothing to do with being able to perform in X-rated films, on the contrary).</p>\n<p>Likewise, Sukanya can become Su or Ya. Or something completely different. More often than not, nicknames are unrelated to the official names. Scores of people go through life using popular nicknames such as Lek (meaning small), Noi (small) or Nok (bird). As these nicknames are chosen when you\'re just a kid, a girl named Noi isn\'t necessarily short.</p>\n<p>This might seem an uninteresting phenomenon to most of you. I agree. Luckily for me, some people seem to have gone overboard when choosing a nickname, especially when using an English nickname.</p>\n<h3>Western influence</h3>\n<p>I don\'t know exactly why (probably because it\'s fashionable), but lots of Thais have English nicknames. And not just English names. Most of these nicknames are just English words. Sometimes quite ridiculous words really.</p>\n<p>Whereas Belle and Beau are acceptable (especially if they belong to pretty girls), other nicknames are laughable. I wonder what the hell possessed parents choosing nicknames such as Boom, Bomb, Bambam or Beer (as mentioned in the title).</p>\n<p>Other strange nicknames include Music, Stamp, Gift, Machine, Bumbim, Ice, New, Arm, Title, Benz (as in Mercedes?), On, Off, Pop, Ay (as in the letter A), Bee (this could be the insect or the letter) and Bird, just to name a few.</p>\n<p>There are lots more, even more bizarre. Some of these might make sense in Thai, but others surely don\'t.</p>\n<h3>Resemblances</h3>\n<p>As you can see, some Thais go through life using the name of an animal. Sometimes in English, but often in Thai. I\'ve met people with names like Gai (chicken), Kob (frog), Phueng (bee), Pet (duck), Muu (pig) and Luukmuu (piglet). Although they don\'t always resemble their nickname, the girl called Muu definitely had the face of a pig and the boy called Luukmuu looked like an overweight piglet (and had the brains of one).</p>\n<p>The other kids often made fun of him in the classroom. I wonder why the parents chose that name. They just added insult to injury.</p>\n<p>As far as I\'m concerned, I haven\'t got a nickname yet. And if people ask I just tell them to call me Teacher.</p>','','2015-09-03 20:17:51',1,'2015-09-03 20:17:51','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(182,8,'Sit fetch and roll over','sit-fetch-and-roll-over','Basic Thai commands for teaching children','Let me get a few things straight first.

Sometimes they don’t listen to a bloody word you say. Especially when they haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about. That’s why this month I’ll take you through a few basic Thai commands you might need when teaching youngsters. Some of the commands are aimed at very young learners, as you’ll find out.</p>\n<p>Being a victim of summer school, I ended up teaching young (6-11) and very young (4-5) learners every day and I soon realised I needed more basic commands to make the kids understand what I wanted them to do.</p>\n<p>Let me get a few things straight first. First of all, it doesn’t really matter if the kids understand everything you say. Even if they do, they still won’t listen to you. Second, even if you know the commands in Thai, you’ll probably get the tones wrong and no one will understand you. And third, if you do know a limited number of Thai words, some of the students might assume you speak Thai fluently and start chattering away in Thai all the time. Not really what you want.</p>\n<p>Besides, I have a few doubts about so-called programmes for young learners (not just the summer school programmes). At the end of the day, it all comes down to one essential question: Do the kids themselves want to learn English or not?<br />\nIf they don’t, there’s really no point in trying to teach them anything, as they will only be focused on having a good time in the classroom and nothing else. Their parents will pay hard-earned (or hard-extorted) money to get them nowhere.</p>\n<p>To my disappointment, lots of kids are learning English because they are forced to do so by their parents. Now as far as I’m concerned, forcing someone young to do something he or she doesn’t like isn’t necessarily a bad idea (they might need it later), as long as there is the right incentive to make them do it, and more particularly, make them behave in class. </p>\n<p>Parents should try harder to motivate their children and make them respect other people, esp. the English teacher and his meagre worldly possessions he takes with him into the classroom. In spite of what a lot of Thais seem to think, we are not farang clowns whose only job is to entertain and kids should be taught this. Anyway. we’ll see who laughs last when they really need their English later for some entrance exam or IELTS/TOEFL test. It’s no secret that even university students can hardly put a three-word sentence together, let alone pronounce it correctly.</p>\n<p>Now what about the incentive for children (or even teenagers) that parents can or should use? The incentive can be positive or negative. A few examples:<br />\n- Positive: “If you behave, listen to the teacher AND learn English well, I’ll buy you a Masked Rider VCD (pink jacket, or some other crap).”<br />\n- Negative: “If you don’t behave, don’t listen to the teacher OR don’t learn English well, I won’t buy you a Masked Rider VCD.<br />\nThis is what I’d call the bribery approach. Please notice the strategically important words and/or.</p>\n<p>There is also the more threatening approach:<br />\n- Negative: “If you don’t behave, don’t listen to the teacher OR don’t learn English well, I’ll kick the shit out of you.<br />\n- Positive: “If you behave, listen to the teacher AND learn English well, I won’t kick the shit out of you.<br />\nI’ve got no problem with either approach as long as it’s effective.</p>\n<p>Okay, time for some commands. I’ll start with a few I needed most for very young learners, let’s call it the top-5:<br />\n- ya pit fai (don’t turn off the light)<br />\n- pert fai (turn on the light)<br />\n- ya non bon puen (don’t lie on the floor)<br />\n- tam diao nii (do it, now!)<br />\n- ya rong hai (don’t cry)</p>\n<p>I’m not going to describe the situations when I needed these, I think that with a little imagination everyone can do that for him/herself. </p>\n<p>Other useful commands are:<br />\n- nang long (sit down)<br />\n- luuk khuen (stand up)<br />\n- ngiap noi (be quiet)<br />\n- fang (listen)<br />\n- duu (look)<br />\n- kian (write)<br />\n- kopi (copy)<br />\n- ra bai sii (colour)<br />\n- ik tii (repeat)<br />\n- puut (say, speak)<br />\n- jab nang sue (take your book)<br />\n- jab pak ka (take a pencil)<br />\n- tob mue (clap your hands)<br />\n- mun (turn around)<br />\n- row (wait)<br />\n- tam kan baan (do the exercise)<br />\n- rip rip noi (hurry up)<br />\n- ya ta kon (don’t shout)</p>\n<p>I found the last command (don’t shout) particularly useful sometimes. Apparently Thai kids can be put into two categories. Either they are (very) shy and hardly speak at all, or they are so loud they actually seem incapable of normal speech. Everything is shouted, which gives me a headache.</p>\n<p>Now don’t worry too much if you can’t get the commands or the tones right. I can’t either. Remember, there is always miming, which is more effective and less time-consuming and frustrating.</p>\n<p>Finally, when kids go (or are dragged) to a language school to study for two or three hours, let it be clear that half of the time will just be an alternative form of babysitting. Never mind. As long as the parents are happy, there is no problem. We get paid, the school makes good money and let’s face it, even the kids will learn some words and hopefully some classroom discipline, making the next teacher’s life a bit easier.</p>','','2005-03-31 19:15:49',1,'2005-03-31 19:15:49','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(183,8,'Clock, peanut and frog','clock-peanut-and-frog','The problematic pronunciation of many Thais','I try to have as much empathy for my students as I possibly can and I am becoming rather good at understanding the unintelligible.

I personally think that &ndash; apart from sentence stress &ndash; classroom activities should really focus on this problem, or else the English that Thais use will remain unintelligible.</p>\n<p>I try to have as much empathy for my students as I possibly can and I am becoming rather good at understanding the unintelligible. However, there are limits to everything and I am not a mind-reader. If a person says for example /sa-pye/, I know he or she means &ldquo;Spy&rdquo; (the wine-cooler or James Bond, doesn&rsquo;t matter). But if someone says &ldquo;kye&rdquo;, I don&rsquo;t automatically think of cry.</p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t think it&rsquo;s impossible for Thais, it&rsquo;s just difficult. The last example (cry/kye) shouldn&rsquo;t actually pose any problems, as the consonant cluster /kr/ exists in Thai (think of Krung Thep), but it usually does. They can pronounce Spy too, very clearly even.</p>\n<h3>Spy or Sprite?</h3>\n<p>The other day a student told me she liked to drink gin mixed with Spy. She pronounced it perfectly. I was dumbfounded, not only because of the perfect pronunciation, but also of the bizarre combination of gin and Spy. The students interrupted me though, repeating that it wasn&rsquo;t gin and Spy, but gin and Spy. Spy, you don&rsquo;t know Spy? Finally it dawned on me. They were talking about Sprite&hellip; (/spr/ is indeed a difficult cluster and a final &ndash;t is hardly pronounced in Thai).</p>\n<p>The final &ndash;s is also a recurring problem as it is virtually non-existent in Thai. Confusion between the &ldquo;r&rdquo; and &ldquo;l&rdquo; is another issue. I won&rsquo;t even go into sounds like &ldquo;ch&rdquo; (as in cheap) or &ldquo;j&rdquo; (as in Jeep).</p>\n<p>Sure, everyone can learn, I won&rsquo;t deny that, on the contrary. I&rsquo;ve been to quite a few workshops and I know a lot of practice exercises and pronunciation games. Practice is the key to success and some Thai learners make good progress.</p>\n<h3>Retention</h3>\n<p>The problem however seems to be that many students have the memory span of a mosquito. After you&rsquo;ve asked them for the 50th time to please pronounce a word correctly, for example using the final &ndash;s (actually extremely easy to do), they&rsquo;ll still pronounce it &ldquo;the Thai way&rdquo; the 51st time. And I am not referring to virtually unpronounceable words as &ldquo;asks&rdquo;, &ldquo;vegetable&rdquo; or &ldquo;ventriloquism&rdquo;, but to much simpler things like the final &ndash;s.</p>\n<p>Normal sentences will get mangled and sound like &ldquo;She very ny, she wash TV evelly evening and alway go to shopping on Saturday.&rdquo; (By the way, that should read &ldquo;She&rsquo;s very nice, she watches TV every evening and always goes shopping on Saturdays&rdquo;, in case you wondered.)</p>\n<p>Ask ten randomly chosen students to spell the words black and blue, and I guarantee you that a significant number of them will spell them &ldquo;back and bue&rdquo;. Well, at least they are consistent and somewhat logical. They probably figure that if they don&rsquo;t pronounce the &ldquo;l&rdquo; there is no need to write it.</p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t want to go into how to teach pronunciation in detail in this piece. There are a lot of good books on the market and at the British Council you can pick up a good pronunciation booklet including two CDs. For free. Just remember when teaching pronunciation that students have to be able to hear and recognise a sound first before they try to make it themselves.</p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s quite useless making them for example repeat the word cheap over and over again if they themselves can&rsquo;t even hear the difference between cheap and sheep. So listening, recognising, producing the sound themselves and a lot of practice are the keys to success.</p>\n<p>I just wish sometimes that students had more self-discipline. They should practise a tiny bit outside of the classroom and try to improve their awareness of the language and their memory. After all, pronouncing the final &ndash;s isn&rsquo;t difficult at all, it&rsquo;s child&rsquo;s play. They have to remember to pronounce it though.</p>\n<p>They all have a computer at home, so it might be a good idea to purchase some educational software that features word recognition. They can try over and over again until they get the sound right. The software will even tell them how well they score (often on a scale from 0 to 100%). The price of the software shouldn&rsquo;t be a problem, as you can pick up pirate copies for as little as 150 baht).</p>\n<h3>Obstacle</h3>\n<p>Another obstacle might be the omnipresent schwa (the unstressed /e/ - sorry, but I didn&rsquo;t find it on my keyboard), actually the most common sound in English. Think of the way we pronounce America. Thais would pronounce it A-mE-ri-cA, but native speakers of English will hardly pronounce the vowels and say /e-mE-re-ke/.</p>\n<p>Linking sounds is also unheard of for many students. Think of the way we pronounce things, like /howeyou/ (how are you), /whaddeyewant/ (what do you want), /Idunno/ (I don&rsquo;t know) and so on. Do you know the animal called nelephant (as in an elephant)? Do you realise better now that the way we speak is completely different from the way we spell? Not so for the phonic Thai language. Every word is written the way it is said, or said the way it is written if you prefer it that way (there are a few exceptions, but hardly as many as in English).</p>\n<h3>Pitfalls</h3>\n<p>Until now the only thing I&rsquo;ve been talking about is pronouncing sounds. Those are the first building blocks that students should try to master (and they should start doing so at the earliest possible age). Then come two other major hurdles, namely word stress and sentence stress. As you see, dear native and non-native speakers, there are a lot of pitfalls in English pronunciation. Here are a few stereotypes we all know and love to hate. I&rsquo;ll focus on food and drink.<br /> &bull; I want eat hamburger or pizza and then go to beer garden.<br /> &bull; Where you going? What you doing?<br /> &bull; You want pineapple or watermelon?<br /> &bull; She not so beautiful like me.</p>\n<p>I guess it&rsquo;s possible to build a whole curriculum around these few phrases, focusing on grammar (to-infinitive or ing-form, verb tenses, use of the article, comparatives and so on), pronunciation, function etc.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m not going to go into this word stress business but just remember, dear learners, that in English the word stress is seldom on the last syllable. Also, as said earlier, a lot of the vowel sounds are pronounced as schwa, making the non-stressed syllables weak.</p>\n<p>As for sentence stress, English is a stress-timed language, which means that a sentence has stress on the most important words (content or meaning words), reducing most of the other words to a schwa-ridden, linked mumbo-jumbo. Never mind that, hearing the stressed words will make the meaning of a sentence more than clear, well for people with a reasonable grasp of English at least.</p>\n<p>My contribution ends here. I hope some of you can find some useful information in this piece. Please don&rsquo;t get discouraged, as a teacher or a student, and think that teaching/learning English is next to impossible. It isn&rsquo;t. It just takes a long time and a lot of determination.</p>','','2018-01-11 19:31:22',1,'2018-01-11 19:31:22','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(184,8,'Wishes','wishes','Reflections on the Thai TESOL conference','Okay, I have to admit that there are a number of good, dedicated Thai teachers of English who do make a difference, but there aren’t merely enough. As long as the government keeps teachers paying a pittance there never will be enough.\n','<p>I went to the Thai Tesol Conference the other day and saw and heard a few interesting things. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to go the whole conference, so what I’m writing here – let’s call it my two baht - might be a little distorted. Sorry for that. Can’t be helped.<br />\nSome hot topics were discussed “@ the bar”, a panel discussion organised by the British Council after the official part of the conference had come to an end. Not only was the discussion worthwhile, the free-flowing wine and excellent and the delicious snacks were widely appreciated. Thanks BC.</p>\n<p>Topic of the night was “Changes in ELT”, and more precisely which changes the esteemed panel members would like and would not like to see. A lot was said and discussed, so I’m going to limit myself here to two points.<br />\nSue Kay, author of the Inside Out course books, said she didn’t want any more government schemes and/or interference. She specified it was a general, worldwide wish and admitted she didn’t know the Thai situation. Never mind that, she was quite right, judging from a few of the comments she got. </p>\n<p>Apparently people are fed up with the government telling and ordering teachers what to do without giving them the necessary resources to do a good job. It’s a very good idea to decide that Thai children should learn better English in school, but it is foolish to think that it is possible without any substantial support. How the hell can you get people to talk fluently if you’ve got one foreign teacher in a school with over a thousand students…Needless to say that some top schools in Bangkok don’t have the same problems as certain high schools in backwater locations as Nakhon Nowhere or Mahasarakham (this last city really exists, I didn’t invent it).</p>\n<p>Okay, I have to admit that there are a number of good, dedicated Thai teachers of English who do make a difference, but there aren’t merely enough. As long as the government keeps teachers paying a pittance there never will be enough.<br />\nOne Thai teacher said that parents only wanted “a white face” in the classroom. I agree that if a Thai teacher does a good job, a farang isn’t always needed, but I couldn’t help myself commenting that the parents might be right. I sometimes wonder how many English is spoken during an English lesson with a Thai teacher. I suspect it’s not enough. An English lesson should be in English, not in Thai. Thai should only be used if all other means are exhausted. </p>\n<p>I also have some doubts when it comes to the accent of the Thai teachers. Having heard some Thai teachers speak English, I’m not surprised anymore about the awful accent the kids have. We shouldn’t blame the Thai language and it’s absence of sounded consonants all the time. Some of these kids are just aping their teachers… </p>\n<p>Learning has become a lifelong process. Obtaining a degree, following the strict school rules that were set decades ago and being complacent doesn’t do the trick anymore. Real professionals should keep trying to improve themselves. Thai as well as foreign teachers. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. But there is a problem if even I have trouble understanding another teacher (and no, I am not deaf). A foreign teacher shouldn’t be idolised, but shouldn’t be underestimated either. Moreover, while some teachers criticised the parents’ attitude, others were all too keen to have their pictures taken with those foreign devils…</p>\n<p>Moving on. Another panel member, a Thai teacher/intellectual/self-made man who had studied in England and who not only taught English, but also French and German (languages he had supposedly learned all by himself), wanted to (re)introduce the works of Shakespeare into the classroom. What a brilliant idea… NOT. The last thing I want to do is ridicule this distinguished gentleman, but I couldn’t help wondering why the hell he came up with this.<br />\nOkay, if someone studies English literature at university he should know about dear William. Introducing Shakespeare in other circumstances though seemed preposterous to me. I completely agree with someone who said that we should try to get the students reading for pleasure. But please, let’s try some other material to get them motivated first. I personally remember the time when a high school teacher shoved Shakespeare down our collective throats and I can assure you it didn’t go down well. It wasn’t until years later that I bought a discounted paperback with the Complete of Shakespeare to see what all the fuss was about.</p>\n<p>I just disagree with teachers who want to impose a reading list. Let students decide for themselves what they like to read. It doesn’t matter if it’s Literature with capital L. Remember, we want them to read for pleasure! When I was young, my favourite author was Stephen King. I admit, not the best of prose on the market, but that was what I liked to read. That trashy author wasn’t on the list of my English Professor of course. So please, let students read what they enjoy. There is still a lot of vocabulary in every novel and Harry Potter is a lot more popular than Shakespeare is. By the way, another (Thai) teacher commented that not everyone possessed the abilities of Mr. Academic.<br />\nA lot more was said, but this is it for now. Keep having fun in the classroom and see you next time.

Unlike Thai schools, the weekend is the busiest time for language schools.','<p>Welcome back to the column folks. What can you expect when you work for a language school? This month I am giving you a look into my daily routine. By the way, I am a full-time teacher at a well-known international language school. At the weekend I teach mainly kids and on weekdays adults. There are between 1 to 12 students in a class, with an average of about six to seven. I work on the edge of Bangkok, about 50 minutes from the city centre.</p>\n<p>A week in the life a an English language teacher</p>\n<p><b>Saturday</b><br />\nAs Friday is my day off, I consider Saturday to be the start of my working week. Yes, that’s right, I work six days a week, not unusual if you work for a language school. Unlike Thai schools, the weekend is the busiest time for language schools.<br />\nMy day starts at nine o’clock, with a three-hour class for young learners, kids between five and seven years old. Yes, this is the horror class I wrote about in my first column (October), so read that one if you want more detailed information. Basically, there are seven kids whom I try to teach English. Four of them are what I consider good kids, the other three are disruptive elements. Playing games among themselves and driving me up the wall is what they do. A pity for the good kids really, because not enough learning is going on. Luckily there are two fifteen minutes’ breaks.<br />\nAfter lunch, I teach a similar group of young learners from one o’clock until four o’clock. They are four girls and their level of English is above average. More importantly, they behave well and are a joy to teach.<br />\nI end my day with a two hours’ private class. Two 18 year old university students come once a week to brush up their English. They are good friends but they shouldn’t be studying together, as the command of English of the first girl is much better than the second one. The better student has a reasonable grasp of English. I’d call her level upper-elementary. The other one, well, when I talk to her, she looks at me as if I speak Russian. Thank Buddha the other one acts as an interpreter. I’d call her level pre-elementary. I’m not sure it’s a good idea for them to study together. Not my call though. At six o’clock I go home, have dinner at a local restaurant and relax. I seldom go out on a Saturday night as Sunday is another busy day.</p>\n<p><b>Sunday</b><br />\nSunday kick-off is at nine o’clock. I’ve got two private one-on-one classes that keep me busy until noon. The students are two thirty something men trying to improve their English in order to get a promotion. The first one is very nice but the second one is a bit stuck up. The bastard complains he has difficulties understanding the English other Asian people speak. I should just tape his own voice and make him listen to it!<br />\nIn the afternoon it’s kiddy time again. From one to four I am the host of a class of seven kids, aged six to seven, who try to make my life miserable. Unfortunately for them, I’ve recently discovered another method for keeping energetic kids in line: give them a writing exercise! They already know quite a few words, most of them know the alphabet, but they don’t know how to read or write words. So in order to prepare them for the next level, and to keep them quiet, I now make them write stuff in their notebooks the first hour. I started a picture dictionary. Some of the kids really do an excellent job. Another bonus is that the parents who check the kids’ books will definitely have the impression that some learning is going on, and rightly so.<br />\nIt is remarkable how quiet the classroom becomes when I write a number of words (and accompanying pictures) on the board and make them copy them. I make them draw the pictures of the words in their notebooks (that\'s easy for colours, body parts, clothes, fruit and veggies and so on). Only the die-hard troublemakers, in my case a boy and a girl, try to disrupt the event. They are the slowest students and when they get too noisy, I gently take them by the arm and suggest that they can do the exercise in the hallway under the supervision of a Thai employee. That quickly calms them down. Sometimes I really have to put my money where my mouth is. After a session alone in the hall, they behave a lot better the following week.<br />\nLuckily my day ends with a two-hour session of nine to eleven year olds. They behave very well and seem to like me. They are quite smart and reasonably willing to learn. I have to admit that their maximum attention span is limited to one period. After the first period we always have an activity or a game. This puts them in an extra good mood. I do invent a few rules of my own though. With Monopoly for example, I make them talk English, otherwise they cannot buy property or collect rent.</p>\n<p><b>Monday</b><br />\nOn Monday my day starts at one o\'clock in the afternoon. That\'s when I teach my dream class for two hours. It\'s an elementary level and there are three students in it. Three Thai girls/women/ladies, mid-twenties to early thirties. They are very motivated and are not afraid to talk. There was a fourth student - the ugly duckling really - who was lightyears behind the others but she quickly dropped out.<br />\nAll of these classes are fun to teach, as they are keen on learning new things. I don\'t just follow the course book but I supplement with some extra activities, like games and songs. They love it. I love it too. The fact that they are very pretty is just a bonus. Some other teachers probably hate my guts because I get to teach them. Others will start calling me Charlie soon, because these girls are angels.<br />\nAfter that I have a four-hour break. My place is about a ten minutes\' walk from the school, so I usually go home and relax. In the evening I have another elementary class with seven people starting at 7 PM. Three university students and four thirty-something people with a job. They are not as good nor as good-looking as the afternoon girls, but motivated and eager to learn, which makes the class also fun to teach. I finish work until nine o’clock and go home.</p>\n<p><b>Tuesday</b><br />\nKick-off is fairly early for a weekday, at ten o’clock. Then I teach another beginners’ class consisting of five students. Two of the students are extremely weak, but one of them is already improving significantly. The other’s pronunciation is horrible. It will take a lot of effort and practice before people understand what he says without repeating it at least six times.<br />\nIn the afternoon I have an intermediate class from one to three with three very knowledgeable students. They know a lot of words and can already manage a decent English conversation, but their pronunciation is still weak. I really have to listen carefully to understand what they say. I sometimes make them read out loud to practise their pronunciation. The way they read out loud makes me laugh out loud sometimes. They read – or rather try to read - twice as fast as I do, which doesn’t help their pronunciation at all, quite on the contrary. I’ll have to find some other phonics exercises.<br />\nMy day ends with a pre-intermediate class from five to seven. There are seven university students in it, which makes it a bit special. The atmosphere is great and we get along very well. They understand the value of being able to speak English and appreciate my way of trying to make learning English a fun activity.<br />\nAt seven o\'clock I go home, have a meal somewhere or have a drink with some colleagues after work.</p>\n<p><b>Wednesday - Thursday</b><br />\nMy Wednesday activities are an exact copy of Monday and Thursday is an exact copy of Tuesday so I am not going to repeat myself. As I finish “early (7PM)” on Tuesday, I sometimes go to central Bangkok to do some sightseeing. Friday is my day off, so I don’t have to worry about getting up early.</p>\n<p><b>Friday</b><br />\nRelaxing is the main activity of the day. That could mean cleaning my room (not), going shopping, reading, writing or going away for a day to do some more sightseeing. I recently bought a digital camera, and there are lots of things to capture on “film”. I try to relax mentally too, but I still think of how I will teach kids on Saturdays and Sundays and try to come up with new strategies of how to keep them in line and interested at the same time. Not always easy, I can assure you.</p>\n<p>So that’s it. If any of you plan to become a teacher in a big language school, this is what you might expect to be doing. You will be teaching at the weekend. I don’t mind it. I get a modest bonus and personally I don’t care when I work. I can’t really tell the difference between weekdays and weekend anyway. As for working six days a week, that can be a bit annoying sometimes, but if you get along fine with the head teacher, he’ll probably be able to get you a few extra days off from time to time. Have fun.</p>\n<p><b>Epilogue</b><br />\nI wrote this piece a few weeks ago. One of the regular teachers went back home for a couple of months and we seem to be having difficulties finding a decent replacement. That means some of the other teachers – including me – have a pretty full schedule. I’m teaching eight hours a day on weekdays and always finish late. Never mind, it will get more relaxing next year and it means more money as I get paid by the hour. Only problem is I don’t have to spend right now… Cheers!</p>','','2004-11-30 19:44:06',1,'2004-11-30 19:44:06','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(187,8,'The visa run','the-visa-run','One man and his trip to Penang','Going to Laos or Cambodia by bus might have been a bit cheaper, but unfortunately one needs a visa to enter those countries.

If you really plan ahead, you could apply for one of those in your home country and get it fairly easy if you have already a job lined up in the Land of Smiles.

I gave myself a month to look for a decent job and planned to get the necessary paperwork done later, i.e. a long-term visa and a work permit. I thought finding a job and getting a work permit would be a piece of cake, as I have both a Master’s Degree and a TEFL Certificate (real ones, to be perfectly clear) and seven years teaching experience (I had been a full-time corporate instructor in a previous life). It was.</p>\n<p>By the way, in order to get a work permit, one needs at least a Bachelor’s Degree. If you haven’t got one you won’t get a work permit, which means you’ll join the perpetual visa run carousel every month or every few months. Having a TEFL Certificate is not mandatory, but if you’ve never taught before or you haven’t got any experience in education, getting one might be a VERY good idea.</p>\n<p>After a week I found a suitable job and I started working as an English teacher for a respectable language school. Three weeks later my tourist visa expired and the school gave me the necessary documents (a letter from the school stating they employed me full-time and a copy of the manager’s credentials) to get my non-immigrant B visa. I chose to fly to Penang in Malaysia. Laos (Vientiane), Cambodia (Phnom Penh) or Singapore are other popular destinations. An AirAsia round-trip Bangkok-Penang cost me 2640 baht, including regular taxes and Malaysian airport tax. Not the 500 baht “Service Fee” one has to pay at Don Meuang airport in order to leave the Kingdom by air. This was the cheapest fare I could get at the time.</p>\n<p>Going to Laos or Cambodia by bus might have been a bit cheaper, but unfortunately one needs a visa to enter those countries. Not so for Malaysia. Anyway, I heard from a few colleagues that the Royal Thai Embassy in Vientiane is staffed by frequently obnoxious personnel (however another colleague told me he didn’t have any problem at all there). In Cambodia there is no Thai embassy near the border, so one has to travel all the way to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. This is a very long bus/pick-up truck journey overland and flying to Cambodia is a bit more expensive than flying to Malaysia.</p>\n<p>So Penang it was. Upon arrival I noticed to my discontent that there was no airport bus into Georgetown. Travellers were gently coerced into using the taxi service. Luckily I met another traveller at the taxi counter and we shared a taxi to Georgetown (prices at the end of the article). He was also on a visa run and was planning to go to a visa agent in downtown Georgetown. After about half an hour, the taxi dropped us in Chulia Street, the main backpacker’s area. Although I had planned to go to the Thai embassy myself, I decided to check out the visa agent.</p>\n<p>The employees were a bunch of friendly Indians and were all too happy to offer their services to the two foreign cowboys. They could arrange the non-immigrant B visa in two days for the regular fee plus a small commission. The Thai embassy charges 200 ringgit (2200 baht) for this visa and the agent wanted a 10 ringgit (220 baht) commission. It was 1.30 in the afternoon and I decided I didn’t want to go to the embassy myself if these guys could do it for a mere 220 baht. It would save me the hassle and two taxi rides.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately my flight back to Bangkok left two days later at 1.25PM, just too late to get my visa in time. I needed one-day service and got it. Unfortunately, it cost me an extra 70 ringgit (770 baht), which went straight into the Thai embassy’s coffers. Mai pen rai. Never mind. I checked into a modest hotel and enjoyed my two days’ holiday. I had visited Penang before and I can confirm that the island has lots of beautiful sights to offer to fill two days. Historical Georgetown with its Heritage buildings, Penang Hill Station and a famous temple somewhere in the hills are really worthwhile exploring.</p>\n<p>The next day I went to pick up my visa at 2.30 PM. I realized they hadn’t even given me a receipt and had some trouble finding the right place. Indeed, there are many visa agents in Chulia streets and their offices all look alike. They themselves also look alike. They’re all Indians. Cousins probably… Anyway, I got my passport with the visa, as promised, no problem at all. Decent and efficient chaps really. I’ve put the name at the end of the piece, just in case. I  don’t get any commission whatsoever, if you wonder. I was satisfied, but then again, I’m just one man with one visa.</p>\n<p>I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in Georgetown. I had some delicious food and a few drinks. Alcoholics beware! Alcohol is expensive in Malaysia. Beer and spirits are readily available, but at a price. A big bottle of beer (all imported, from Heineken and Carlsberg to Tiger and Chang) costs between 11 and 15 ringgit (120 to 160 baht) in the cheaper tourist hangouts or at the 7-Eleven.</p>\n<p>The next day I took a taxi back to the airport and landed in the early afternoon in Bangkok. I could stay for three more months in LOS. Now I just hope my work permit gets processed \"quickly\" (6 to 8 weeks) so I can get an extension without leaving the country. By the way, when you apply for a work permit, there have to be 60 days left on your visa. The detail of my expenses follows. I almost spent 10K baht. I suppose you can knock off a few baht if you live like a monk, but for most of us, that’s probably not an option…</p>\n<blockquote><p> What did it really cost ? - Prices</p>\n<p>Minivan to BKK airport                        : 15      baht</p>\n<p>Bangkok airport service fee                : 500    baht</p>\n<p>Round trip Bangkok-Penang               : 2640 baht</p>\n<p>Taxi airport-Georgetown (shared)      : 150    baht</p>\n<p>Visa fee (incl.

There is plenty of information available : visit relevant websites (e.g. www.thaivisa.com), go to forums, read discussion boards and talk to your colleagues (if you have any).</p>\n<p>·      Try to get a visa in your home country before coming to Thailand if possible. The chances of getting a long-term multiple entry visa are much better than in nearly all Asian countries.</p>\n<p>·      If you go on a visa run, check out the low-budget airlines. The deals and promotions they offer are sometimes too good to be true (e.g. fly to Singapore for 15 baht...). The fares are often as low as a bus or train ticket.</p>\n<p>·      Don\'t forget to check out the airport departure tax (if any), you don\'t want to spend your last money on the eve of your departure and subsequently get stranded at the airport...</p>\n<p>·      Make sure you have a decent set of clothes when you plan to apply for the visa yourself. Appearance matters to Thais. No need to buy an original Armani suit and matching Jim Thompson silk tie. Just don\'t wear your faded, dirty jeans and matching \"I love cannabis\" T-shirt when going to the Royal Thai Embassy...</p>\n<p>·      Take enough money with you, depending on where you go. There are no ATMs in Laos, Cambodia or Myanmar (Burma). An ATM (or credit) card will do fine in most other countries to obtain cash from the readily available ATMs.</p>\n<p>·      Plan ahead. I mean make up your mind about what you want to do. Do you really want to be a teacher? Have you ever taught before? If the answers are no, it might be a good idea to give it a try first (for instance by taking a TEFL or looking for a part-time job at a language school) before getting yourself a non-immigrant B visa and applying for a work permit. It\'s just not worth the hassle it if you plan to be a teacher for a few months.</p>\n<p>·      Know what you\'re getting into. Inform yourself about salaries and work conditions. Don\'t compare them to your home country. This is Thailand. You can have lunch for 20 baht and rent a room for as low as 3000 baht a month. Nobody gives a shit that \"you\'re worth 3000 dollars a month\" where you come from. You should have stayed there then. In Thailand you\'ll probably make somewhere between 25000 and 45000 baht a month (600-1100 USD), like most teachers do. That\'s about five times more than your average Thai colleagues...</p>\n<p>·      Consider your visa run to be a city trip. There are most likely some interesting things to see where you are going. How can you go to Phnom Penh and not visit the Tuol Sleng museum, to Penang and not see the historical centre or visit Penang Hill etc.? I think it sounds fairly stupid when you tell someone where you\'ve been there and then have to admit that the only things you saw where your hotel room and the closest bar...</p>','','2004-10-31 19:49:16',1,'2004-10-31 19:49:16','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(188,8,'Heaven and Hell','heaven-and-hell','Tips for teaching kids','Don’t think teaching kids is easy, it’s not. Tie everything down that’s yours. Keep it in your pocket, your bag, briefcase, socks, travel pouch, wherever. Learn to enjoy singing. ','<p><b>Hell</b></p>\n<p>Pandemonium. Utter chaos. Those are the most appropriate words to describe the state my classroom was in the other day. Kids running around shouting. A boy kicking the wall. A boy kicking another boy. A boy scaring girls. Girls starting to scream. A girl running out of the classroom crying hysterically. Materials scattered everywhere. Get the picture? Well, at least Teacher wasn’t supposed to clean up the mess…</p>\n<p>Sounds familiar? Maybe, maybe not. That’s why I think it’s eliciting time. Where do you think this happened? What kind of school was it? How many kids were in the classroom? What was the classroom like? How old were they? What do you think happened afterwards? I’ll give you one minute. Set? Go!</p>\n<p>All right, time’s up. Stop thinking and read on to see if you were on the right track. Contrary to what some of you might have been thinking, it didn’t happen in a Thai elementary school and no, there weren’t 40 kids in a hot, dilapidated classroom. No blackboard with good old chalk. No kids shouting “Good morning Teacher!”.</p>\n<p>It happened in a respectable language school, in a small, modern, air-conditioned classroom where five and six year olds come every Saturday morning for their weekly English class. There were seven of them. Yes, that’s right, just seven kids. If you are wondering how on earth a handful of kids can create a situation like that, you’ve obviously never taught kids.</p>\n<p>It had all started very well at nine ‘o clock. The sky was blue, the birds were singing and I was in a good mood. It was my first week working for the school and this was the first day I was teaching that particular group of “elementary young learners”. I replaced another female teacher who had apparently quit her job halfway through the course, although some teachers claimed she was just having a break. Other teachers had never heard of her and were even amazed to find out we had a female teacher on the staff. My guess was she’d quit. Maybe she didn’t like teaching kids. Maybe she didn’t like teaching obnoxious kids. Maybe she didn’t like teaching at all. Maybe she had a nervous breakdown. Maybe she’ll turn up in a klong somewhere, wrapped in a plastic bag and cut into pieces. At least then she’ll make the front page of the Thai newspapers, most probably with a close-up of her severed head. Thais love stuff like that. We’ll probably never know. Moving on…</p>\n<p>At nine o’clock sharp I welcomed the kids, said hello to just a few of the parents and started the lesson. We playfully reviewed some of the language they’d learned before (or were supposed to have learned) and I started eliciting and introducing new words. Topic of the day was clothes. After an initial period of cooperation that lasted for about twenty minutes, it became quite clear that it would be a gruelling three hours. Although I’m a born-again atheist, I profoundly thanked Buddha for the two 15 minutes’ breaks. </p>\n<p>The group consisted of three nice girls, a shy boy, a normal (regular? ordinary?) boy and two Problems. Minor Problem was a very bright boy, in fact way too intelligent when compared to the others. He didn’t want to be there, except to play and have a good time. Major Problem was a big, fat, supersized Thai bully (I’ll call him BB or Big Bully) whose command of English was above average and who was only interested in playing, shouting, wreaking havoc and encouraging the other, good kids to do the same.</p>\n<p>After those first twenty minutes, I realized I would be in for a rough ride. What do you do when kids just don’t listen to what you say? They don’t want to do what you say. They don’t want to sit down (although you know the instruction in English and possibly Thai, just to make sure). They don’t want to do the activity you prepared. They’re not interested in your game. They want to play their own, in their own language. They don’t want to be quiet when you’re asking someone a question or when you’re explaining something. They start running around. They start tampering with the cassette player. They start writing on the board. They take your pen and notebook. They take the markers. They get physical. They kick you. They lie on the floor. They fight. One hits his ear on the table (or has it hit for him) and starts crying. One takes a nap. A few play with a Spiderman puppet, have an argument and in the end a girl starts crying hysterically and run off to find her mummy. A few others draw stuff on the board. Not really pictures, just lines, dots and other nonsense, making sure the markers will be as good as useless next time. A few still sit at the table, a bit shy, but will join the rest soon.</p>\n<p>Do you think I’m exaggerating? Unfortunately I’m not. I really don’t want to scare would-be teachers away from the profession. I think this is a rare worst case scenario. Well, not that rare to be honest, but not very common either. Teaching is often a tiring and difficult job. But also rewarding and reasonably well paid according to Thai standards.</p>\n<p>Now back to the classroom. What happened next? I tried to teach a number of new words as well as I could, using the kids as live models (the topic was clothes, remember), I had them colour a number of memory cards, draw their own set of clothes and then we reviewed the words. Obviously, the main problem was that towards the end of the first period and during the whole second period, all discipline was completely gone. Nothing I did or said mattered, never mind the intonation or facial expression I used. No one seemed to remember their parents told them to listen to the teacher and be good. The classroom had become the Bounty and they were a bloody bunch of mutineers, with Sergeant-Major Big Bully and his second-in-command Minor Problem in charge.</p>\n<p>After two tiresome periods I asked for a bit of advice and feedback from a few colleagues (and  really started worrying about the physical and mental health of my predecessor). They basically told me to be a good babysitter and grin and bear it. However, I interrupted class in the third period and went to see the head teacher. I asked him if it was possible to remove an extremely troublesome student from class (BB of course) or have a chat with his parents. As it was, that kid was basically wasting the other parents’ good money because he was the main reason why no learning was going on at all.</p>\n<p>Head Teacher accompanied me to the classroom and asked the kid “to be good boy and listen to Teacher” (yeah, right). This may seem useless, but his presence made a difference because I then told BB to go into the hall for a few minutes with Head Teacher to continue the chat. I asked him to leave the classroom. In English. In Thai. In Thaiglish. He didn’t want to. He really didn’t want to leave. In fact, he was scared shitless. The look on his face was priceless.</p>\n<p>One of the reasons why he was extremely reluctant to leave the classroom could be the loss of face. Another reason could be that he was afraid to face the music when his parents saw him being accompanied out of the classroom and subsequently having the problem explained to them by the head teacher. That might have caused loss of face for the parents as well and BB surely would have lost the ability to sit down for a few days or been forced to wear sunglasses. </p>\n<p>Although I’m not an advocate of corporal punishment, I think that’s exactly what he deserved. But no, Head Teacher decided he could stay in the classroom if he listened to Teacher. Discipline did improve afterwards, but BB soon forgot all about his promise and became his obnoxious little self again. I had to remind him a few times of the possible consequences of being a bad boy. Luckily for the both of us, the class came to an end and lunch break started. I got it all of my chest during lunch with a couple of colleagues while BB was probably bragging to his folks how much he’d learned during class. He’ll have to watch out. I’ll get him in the end. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but I’m planning my revenge. </p>\n<p>Or maybe I’ll just forget all about him. Time makes you see things differently, put things in perspective. Kids. Aaaargh. Boy am I glad I’ve never had any of my own. Never have, never will, that’s for sure now. When I was his age…</p>\n<p><b>Heaven</b></p>\n<p>In the afternoon I had exactly the same young learners’ class on my schedule, but this time there were only four students. They were all girls. A very shy four year old, a shy five year old and two ordinary six and seven year olds. </p>\n<p>We reviewed the previous lessons. I elicited and introduced the new words. All the kids were very smart and knew a lot more words than I had expected. They were eager to cooperate. They repeated when I wanted them to repeat. They answered when I asked a question. They sang when I asked them to sing (although not wholeheartedly, but they did). They sat when I asked them to sit. They sha… no, not that. They stood up when I asked them to stand up. They jumped when I asked them to jump. They coloured when I asked them to colour. They cut and pasted when I asked them to cut and paste. We had fun, it was great, it was a dream class. The three hours just flew by. By the end of the class the two older girls were already becoming a bit forward but they never really misbehaved. </p>\n<p>Thanks girls. Just what I needed. Boy do I like these like kids. I want to have some of my own. Right here, right now. Can’t wait. Come to think of it, does anyone know if it’s possible to rent them? I’m not rich, but I could teach them English for free… Uh-oh, something’s wrong here, stop, relax, breath, take my pills, think straight…</p>\n<p>A few tips for teaching kids (from the very young to the grown-up kids </p>\n<p>· Don’t think teaching kids is easy, it’s not.<br />\n· Tie everything down that’s yours. Keep it in your pocket, your bag, briefcase, socks, travel pouch, wherever.<br />\n· Learn to enjoy singing. A lot of books are based on songs and chants.<br />\n· Learn to draw, paint, cut and paste. Enjoy crafts!<br />\n· Learn how to use the REW, FF and PAUSE button on a cassette player.<br />\n· Try to persuade the manager/principal/director of studies to buy (and copy) the CD’s instead of using (copied) cassette tapes. We’re in the year 2547 (2004) after all. Do you know when the CD was invented? Exactly 20 years ago, in 1984!<br />\n· Don’t get frustrated too easily.<br />\n· If the kids don’t understand what you say, explain again. And again. And again…<br />\n· Use very clear instructions and simple language, based on vocabulary they already know.<br />\n· It’s unlikely kids will understand instructions like “NowIwouldlikeyoutotakeyourbookwhenyoure ready page forty-seven open it and colour all the pictures I think the crayons might be somewhere under the table you remember the word under don’t you it’s like next to and above”. Difficult to read? Well, that’s probably how the whole sentence sounds to them.<br />\n· Demonstrate, rather than explain.<br />\n· Mime, rather than explain.<br />\n· Point, use hand movements and facial expressions, rather than explain.<br />\n· Repetition is often, if not always, a key to success.<br />\n· Review material introduced the previous week(s).<br />\n· Don’t get angry. As with adults, it will probably get you nowhere.<br />\n· Remember that a number of elementary young learners should actually be called ignorant spoilt brats.<br />\n· Don’t hit the kids, farang teachers are not allowed to.<br />\n· It’s better to make the parents hit their kids if needed.<br />\n· However if you do hit one, make sure not to leave any marks.<br />\n· The teacher’s ultimate threat is to make a kid leave the classroom. Anyone threatened with expulsion will calm down and behave. This threat can be used more than once if needed.<br />\n· Reward good answers (a nice remark will do fine, no need to hand out hard cash to make yourself more popular, like some politicians).<br />\n· Try to understand that with very young learners, you’re not only a teacher but a (quite expensive) babysitter as well.<br />\n· If you’re paid per lesson, don’t take on too many lessons. Teaching kids 40+ hours per week can damage your health. You’ll just drop dead on your day off.<br />\n· Use strong students to demonstrate. Encourage weak ones to repeat.<br />\n· Encourage physically strong, good students to keep physically weaker Problems in line.<br />\n· Don’t cause major psychological trauma by making a shy girl sing a song in front of the classroom.<br />\n· Persuade the management to make casual clothing (jeans, tracksuit, coveralls, clown suit etc.) part of the dress code when teaching young kids.<br />\n· On the other hand, don’t forget that parents or relatives often wait in the school lobby and see teachers come and go. Appearances do matter in Thailand. If you’re not tall, blond, blue-eyed and if you come short in the hair or teeth department,  I’d definitely stick to a shirt and tie.<br />\n· Try not to be late. However if you are late, make sure to have a good excuse like an accident and be able to show at least some nasty looking bruises or a reasonable amount of dried blood on your clothes to corroborate your story.<br />\n· Don’t take any sharp or dangerous objects into the classroom (sharp scissors, knife, gun, machete, acid). They can and will be used against you or anyone else present.<br />\n· Learn some basic Thai, but don’t tell the kids you speak Thai.<br />\n· Student’s books vary in quality, ranging from very adequate to utter crap. Be creative, adapt and supplement the teaching material if necessary.<br />\n· If the book you (have to) use is really worthless, it might be a good idea to convey your point of view in a tactful manner to the director of studies.<br />\n· Don’t be too hard on the kids. Many of them study English because their parents want them to. They’d rather be somewhere else.<br />\n· Don’t be too soft either. Their parents pay a lot of money for the English lessons so the kids should be learning at least something. Also, the kids themselves might start treating you like a soft doormat. Don’t think this is a figure of speech, take it literally.<br />\n· Don’t use Thai words when you’re eliciting or introducing vocabulary. Let them get used to English words and language. However if you’re determined to use some local lingo, be careful if you use the Thai word for banana (or any other Thai word really) unless you’re good at Thai sounds and tones. Watch out for the stand-alone form of the personal pronoun “he” as well…<br />\n· And last but not least, have a good time !</p>','','2004-09-30 19:56:29',1,'2004-09-30 19:56:29','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(189,8,'Bangkok getaways - Petchburi','bangkok-getaways-petchburi','An historical park on a hill, lots of temples and some monkeys thrown in','I went on this overnight trip to the scenic town of Petburi a few months ago.

I\'ll try to keep you posted in future columns although spending hours in Internet bars is not my idea of travelling fun. </p>\n<p>Petburi in a nutshell: a historical park on a hill, lots of temples and some monkeys thrown in for good measure</p>\n<p>I went on this overnight trip to the scenic town of Petburi a few months ago. Tourist maps and road signs often refer to this city as Petchburi or Petchaburi but the believe me, the correct way to pronounce it is definitely Petburi. Unfortunately, transliteration of Thai script into the Roman alphabet is often neither clear-cut nor logical (just think of the airport: Suvarnabhumi vs Suwannapoom). </p>\n<p>Petburi lies some 160 kilometres south of Bangkok and can be visited in one or two days. In order to get there, take either train, bus or van. Day trains depart infrequently from Hualampong train station in central Bangkok; buses depart every half hour from the new southern bus terminal (located what seems like 100 clicks southwest of the capital, but in reality it\'s only about 15 clicks); vans go all day long from Victory Monument to Hua Hin on a fill-up-and-go basis and can drop you off in Petburi.</p>\n<p>Once in Petburi, you can either start the sightseeing immediately if you\'re on a day trip or you can find a hotel to stay the night as I did. Remember that there is quite a lot to see and day-trippers might find themselves longer on a bus or train than actually sightseeing. Also, after a few hours, you might get tired and not bother going the extra mile to discover some hidden gems. Instead, the only thing you\'ll want to do is down a few cold ones and lie down for a nap. </p>\n<p>Once you reach the Petburi bus station (actually there is no bus station, buses just stop near the central market), motorbikes go just about anywhere in the city centre for a mere 20 baht or so. I had one drop me off at the Kao Wang Hotel, which is conveniently located next to Kao Wang Hill where the main sights are. The hotel was cheap at 250 baht for a fan room with bathroom (add 100 baht for A/C) but somewhat rundown (think not-so-new council flats or housing projects). Although the whole place was in dire need of a lick of paint, my room was airy and the bedsheets spotless. The bathroom sported a Thai toilet, which was okay as I prefer this to sitting on dubious toilet seats. If you like your western toilet though or if you\'re not into squatting, you might want to look for another place to stay or put your bowel movements on hold for the duration of your stay.</p>\n<p>As I already mentioned, the main attraction of Petburi is Kao Wang Hill & Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park. Cobblestone paths lead up and around the hill which is studded with temples and various components of King Rama IV\'s palace. The views are great and the whole area is a photographer\'s dream. Fat monkeys loll about in the trees and on top of the walls along the main path. The walk up looks easy but is fairly strenuous, especially since there is a lot of ground to cover if you want to see the whole domain.(*) You needn\'t be a mountain goat but it might be a challenge for couch potatoes and Thais alike. Make sure to drink plenty of water, wear a hat or use sunscreen, and take either an extra shirt or a small towel for when you\'re drenched in sweat. Entrance fee is a giveaway 40 baht (just under a Euro, just over a dollar).</p>\n<p>If you\'re on a day trip, you\'ll probably want to have a late lunch and then go home after seeing Kao Wang. If you\'re booked into a hotel, I suggest you have lunch followed by a shower and some rest before discovering the rest of the town. There are quite a few interesting temples in Petburi town itself, but seeing them will involve quite a bit of walking. The most picturesque temples are probably Wat Mahathat, Wat Chi Pra Keut, Wat Lat and Wat Yai Suwannaram (jut consult a tourist map once you get there). Instead of walking your way around town, you could hop on a motorbike to get you to the furthest temple and walk back from there. There are of course more temples than the ones mentioned here, but after a while temple-fatigue sets in and you might reach the point where you don\'t want to see any more of the bloody things, no matter how spectacular they are.</p>\n<p>At night, there is a huge night market set up in and around the park located next to Kao Wang Hill.

To outline the problems in a few sentences, it has always been very difficult to firstly get students to understand that the reason for which language exists is to communicate meaning, or more specifically to communicate our thinking (the ideas in our heads, or dancing of information through our neurons) unto others. Or, alternatively, to get meaning from the gestures and utterances of others. And, that they have to want to do that before language teaching and learning really is of any significant benefit to them. In other words, what I think lies at the heart of the biggest problems that I’ve faced is that Asian students don’t, without any training, really equate the sounds you’re teaching them and the symbols they are looking at on paper, or that (heaven forbid) you are asking them to produce on paper, with anything more significant than a bunch of silly sounds and squiggles; consequently, or furthermore, they don’t really want to do a lot of the language workouts that language teachers recommend to familiarise them with the system that puts sound and squiggles together to create meaning in a second language, probably because they don’t realize that what they are learning is a code, or a special combination of the sounds and squiggles we can produce that will transcribe our thoughts into a communicable form, and thus can’t really see the point of what you’re up to. You’re then faced, on top of this of course, with the fact that in many situations the English teacher is faced with in Asia, even if they do understand the context of what they are doing, for a variety of reasons they don’t want to expend the effort in doing it; the culmination of all this is that really, the English language teacher is then left in a bit of a pickle.</p>\n<p>The nature of that pickle being a particularly tiresome one; there are acres of established language teaching workouts out there for us to choose from, and indeed there are many tried and tested varieties that are, at any time, not too difficult for us to produce ourselves. It is very difficult, however, to get many Asian students to engage in a lot of regular style workouts, I have found that usually after I have explained what I want them to do until I am blue in the face, and why I want them to do it, it is still necessary to walk around and explain to each person individually the nature of the task. And, most often, to actually goad them into doing what they are supposed to be doing after they get the gist of it, often even to the point of demanding they pick up their pen (or open their mouths, whichever the case may be) and get cracking. The point is, in other words, that they are not naturally present in the classroom with the view that doing workouts, or activities, is how you learn a language. Even if they are, there is no guarantee whatsoever that they are present in the classroom with the desire to burn any brain energy engaging in such workouts. Or, that they really want to try and understand what little bit of English language knowledge you are passing on to them, and give it a go themselves. Before I go too far here by the way I am not suggesting that this problem is exclusive to Asian students, I have just stuck to that category because it defines the limits of most of my language teaching experience…although I would say that the university classes I teach here in Thailand, particularly when it comes to my Chinese students, are a lot less focussed on the teaching/learning dialogue, or more specifically are a lot less attentive to what the teacher is proposing to them, and on mastering the subject of the lesson, than the people in any university class I ever sat in in Australia. Again though, I am not blaming this on their ‘Asian-ness’ here at all, it could be that if I had sat in different types of classes in Australia, I might have found that those in faculties other than humanities, or at universities other than those I went to, were perhaps very much the same – the honest truth, which is what I am trying to express here, is that I am not in a position where I could say with any certainty otherwise, this issue would require a lot of further examination.</p>\n<p>At any rate, that it is the case that a lot of Asian students tune out especially for explanations of theory and activities, and then don’t engage in said activities, backs the English language teacher into somewhat of a corner; as I have said here previously, and as I have seen Steve Schertzer allude to on many occasions (in the sense that he genuinely wants his students to engage in the teaching/learning dialogue), this situation could very well be argued to be what whips up the ‘games fervour’, or what leaves so many teachers in so many countries frantically searching for a game or gimmick that is going to, like sitting a TV in the corner, at least draw the students’ eyes towards them. I got caught up in this myself at first; I stepped into the classroom with what I thought was an adequate grasp of some genuinely interesting kinds of English teaching and learning activities that I had gained from my training and academic background. Only to discover that all the things that I had been told were the heart of communicative language teaching were completely ineffective, on the grounds that the students couldn’t care less about listening to the nature of established activities, let alone in making any sort of effort to participate in them in what we might say was a ‘serious learning’ frame of mind. Because, moreover, I blamed this on myself, or blamed this on the fact that I thought my teaching style was inadequate, I at first simply looked for a new approach – all around me in Korean hagwons there was the games fervour, and it was all too easy to fall into thinking that this was the way to go. Nor, I should add, is it simply the poor old foreign teacher who is acting out of desperation in this context – I couldn’t count the number of times I have heard in the years since, from Asian teachers themselves (the Thais were lamenting this to me just last week), that communicative teaching is ineffective in Asian classrooms, they get just as downcast about the situation as we do.</p>\n<p>I’ve since wised up a bit, however. If you make, as I have said before, playing a game, or singing a song, the object of your teaching, it’s a very ineffective way of teaching – as any education graduate knows, you have to make the deliverance of some knowledge or understanding the object of your teaching, games, songs, and other materials or workouts are merely the vehicles for this transmission (this knowledge, furthermore, has to be appropriately sequenced, this is Education 101). When you get the hang of it, this in no way diminishes the relief you get from having an activity that does draw the students’ attention, or doesn’t take away at all from the fact that lessons are livened up with an injection of technology, liveliness, friendly competition or fun; all it does it put these things in a context that is much more expedient to students’ second language development. On the flipside, as Steve has said, you shouldn’t feel compelled to think that everything should be a game – the many books and papers on the subject I have since read, in my quest to see where I was going wrong, all give testimony to the fact that language learning, for any age, most definitely is a cognitive endeavour, and that contemporary CLT activities very much represent the cutting edge in terms of making this endeavour interesting, effective and fun. In other words, what I now know is this; sure, a lot of it was my fault to begin with, because a novice has to be that by definition. However, the students we are faced with here in Asia, or that I have at least been faced with, aren’t in a CLT frame of mind when you meet them, and as I have since also noted a lot of people try to tell us in the literature, rather than avoiding the responsibility (because it is the most arduous and emotionally upsetting part of teaching), we have to put in the effort to make sure that their attitude towards their classes is appropriate to the approach. Which isn’t, and it took me personally a long time to overcome my insecurities and arrive firmly at this conclusion, asking them to really make any sacrifices on your behalf – a proper communicative language teaching and learning environment is the best sort of teaching and learning environment you can give them, and thus they themselves have the obligation to make sure that their own attitudes meet your efforts to try and do your best by them.</p>\n<p>But, as I started out here by saying, it is not easy. If they genuinely want to get or generate meaning from the English language, they have to try and speak, they have to be patient and quiet while their friends are trying to speak, they have to listen to the teacher give instructions and explain theory without zoning out, they have to write stuff down, they have to ask questions when they don’t understand, they have to learn to keep trying when they are not understood, and they have to learn strategies by which to get others to make themselves understandable to them - in short, they have to do all the things they are so very un-wont to do. Still, this is what I have found; by implementing strategies that get them to do all these things, and I have found one definitely has to implement the rod as well as the carrot, although it is a very terrible ordeal, at the end of the day the execution of your job as a teacher becomes enormously easier (it drives me crazy, for example, when the students won’t listen when I am speaking, particularly if I have spent a long time making a great lesson for them, I wouldn’t have been able to stick at my job if I hadn’t figured out ways to get past this). Strategy-wise, this is what I have used myself – I devised activities that increase their metalinguistic and metacognitive awareness (boy, do I understand now why so many theorists tell us these days to do this), or that get them to understand what language is and how you have to learn it (because you won’t agree that the teacher is providing you with decent activities if you can’t grasp this). I spent a lot of time walking around the class making sure they knew the behaviour that was expected of them (i.e. that they were actually following instructions and doing activities). And I put in place systems of penalties that would adversely affect students who didn’t want to adhere to the teaching and learning contract. All this stuff, is what I am trying to say here, takes effort and misery to put in place; however, if I could give any advice to anyone who might be suffering the way I initially did it is that expending this energy is absolutely worth it. </p>\n<p>Personally, in fact, I would say that the practice that most improved any of my classes, by far and away was the practice of walking around the class (particularly in writing classes) and making sure that students were doing the activities, and furthermore knew what they were going to get from them – it was, I admit, as we would say in Thai the biggest ‘lum-barg’, especially when you have just explained everything to everyone altogether (with slide shows, flashing lights, and every other aid to comprehension one can think of it). When they get used to doing what they are supposed to be doing, however - and after the initial anguish of ‘police work’, or of confronting people, this took a surprisingly short time to happen (don’t give up, I mean, you get past the anguish soon) – when they get used to doing what they are supposed to be doing, your life immediately becomes a lot more interesting and pleasanter. I guess, too, that there are many of you, like me, who wouldn’t think that at a university even this police-work was going to be necessary (and it is a far cry from the university classes I taught in Australia) – I assure you it is, however, if you move to one, then, just like at schools and academies, if you want things to be better, this is what you are going to find yourself doing.</p>\n<p>The last thing to add here, I suppose, being what is meant by a ‘proper’ CLT approach; the first thing I would do here, because it took me countless books before the penny finally dropped into place, is direct you to a great book from the Cambridge Teaching Library written by Dubain and Olshtain called ‘Course Design’. Read that, and I would say you will understand what I have been talking about. Although I could add, from my own burgeoning understanding, that when we talk about CLT what we are talking about is this – before, with grammar translation (where you learn a verb tense and then practice it in the text in a variety of examples, or so on, until you have ‘acquired the language), meaning wasn’t the principal item being negotiated. This involves interaction between people, and between the learner and the things that people have genuinely written or said to communicate ideas to people, and not an interface with dry and artificial examples – communicative language teaching is an attempt to make meaning the focus, or is the evolution of earlier approaches in ways that address their shortcomings (it subsumes them, not supplants them). I won’t go on but, because if I did I still wouldn’t get it half as good as Dubain and Olshtain have already – again, I defer you, as the best starting point that I have come across, to their wonderful little tome.</p>','','2008-09-30 20:05:58',1,'2008-09-30 20:05:58','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(191,11,'Rising sun, helping hands','rising-sun-helping-hands','The work of the JICA organisation','Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is bringing thousands of Japanese youth into the global limelight with its volunteer-based development projects.','<p>Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is bringing thousands of Japanese youth into the global limelight with its volunteer-based development projects.</p>\n<p>Story and photos by Ken May</p>\n<p>While dining at a popular Japanese restaurant in Bangkok, Maiko Hashimoto, right, and Norihide Furukawa reminisce about their recent volunteer experiences in rural Africa. </p>\n<p>Lasting from 1986 to 1990, Japan thrived in a period of skyrocketing prosperity that is popularly known as the “Bubble Economy” (baburu keiki). The price of Japan’s stock and land surged in value, as the country’s economy grew to the second largest in the world. As a result, Japan heavily invested in financial projects across the globe, as it became more conscious of its international role. Coinciding with this prosperity, the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) industry also boomed in Japan, as its youth strived to improve English skills to gain a strategic edge in job placements and advancements within a company. </p>\n<p>The bubble of prosperity collapsed in the 1990s, and the price of Japanese assets and land equity went on a downward spiral. Japanese banks were greatly impaired by eroding capital and massive debt, which was inflamed by easily obtainable credit they had given during the “Bubble” years. This economic meltdown is known as “the Lost Decade” (ushinawareta).</p>\n<p>Japan’s university graduates were hard hit by this collapse. Lifelong career prospects as “salary men” at a single company were vanishing. Female employment as office workers was also losing its stability. Nevertheless, these graduates were highly educated with solid work ethics – and many had acquired English and global awareness as beneficial job skills. </p>\n<p>As a result, the “lost generation” started to question traditional job expectations and gender roles. And many unemployed youth, both men and women, searched for opportunities abroad. Some traveled individually across the globe as tourists – and others eagerly enrolled in volunteer organizations such as Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).</p>\n<p><b>Japanese Spirit of Volunteerism</b></p>\n<p>“You must have a strong heart and a spirit of motivation,” says Yu Maeda, who served as a JICA volunteer in Thailand. His experience included translating texts into multiple languages (English, Thai, and Japanese), while promoting tourism and cultural exhibitions at the Ayutthaya Historical Studies Center and the TAT office in Ayutthaya. Yu enrolled in JICA because he “wanted to know more about Thailand” after writing his Master’s thesis about Akha hilltribe members who migrate to Bangkok for work on Khaosan Road. </p>\n<p>Norihide Furukawa joined JICA to “gain practical experience; not just academic experience.” He was a Youth Activity Coordinator in Malawi, who polished his English skills while working with African children, since this second language served as a common tongue. “My interest has always been in international development,” he says, “it was something I always wanted to do.”</p>\n<p>“It is good to combine our perspectives together,” says Maiko Hashimoto, who enrolled because she enjoys working in a multi-national environment, “It is very important to think about development at each other’s level.” As a JICA volunteer in Ghana, where communication is limited by a saturation of tribal languages, English became the language that she was most comfortable speaking. Her tasks included teaching sexual reproductive health in public schools and helping nurses with HIV/AIDS awareness programs at government hospitals.</p>\n<p><b>JICA’s mission</b></p>\n<p>JICA was designed to bridge the gap between Japan and developing countries by taking a grassroots approach to ensure that millions of impoverished people gain access to education, health care, and other opportunities. The program focuses on country-specific development in seven fields: agriculture, processing maintenance, sports, forestry and fisheries, education and culture, health and hygiene, and civil engineering. </p>\n<p>After a highly selective recruitment process, Japanese volunteers undergo rigorous physical, intellectual, and linguistic training before serving two-year assignments abroad. Yu claims that being emerged in this all-expansive training really “helped him to think for himself while living abroad.” Norihide describes his training as an unusual experience that involved living with over 200 people in one place for several months. During training, volunteers were discouraged from speaking in Japanese, since they were expected to converse in English or learn the host country’s target language. “It was a bit challenging,” he admits, “but I liked it.” </p>\n<p>Although Japan had initiated technical cooperation programs as far back as 1954, the country’s roots of volunteerism really began with the establishment of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) program in 1965, which was followed by the creation of JICA in 1974. </p>\n<p>Since its inception, over 28,000 JICA volunteers have served in Asia, Africa, South America, the Mid-East, and other locations. In 2007, there were nearly 2,500 active JICA volunteers in the field. In addition, Japan has provided developing countries with a large number of Japanese-based technical trainees – more than 320,000 since 1954. </p>\n<p>Although the number of volunteers was relatively low in the beginning, statistics show a steady increase. In fact, the collapse in Japan’s bubble economy ignited an even greater curiosity about volunteer opportunities abroad. In 1994, the total number of Japan-trained technical trainees topped 100,000 for the first time, and the number of JICA volunteers rose above the 20,000 benchmark in the year 2000. Even as Japan’s economy stabilized, the hunger for unique volunteer experience via JICA continued to grow.</p>\n<p><b>Overcoming Hardships and Stereotype</b></p>\n<p>Once in the field, volunteers are expected to live and work side-by-side with the local community. This is a challenge for many Japanese youth, who are accustomed to the comforts and wealth in the land of the Rising Sun. Nevertheless, many volunteers thrive on the experience. </p>\n<p>“I had to walk 1.5 km every day to fetch water from the nearest pond,” remembers Maiko, who often had to boil and filter her own water, “It was a challenge to survive by making my own fires.” Nevertheless, she felt these hardships were worthwhile, since “living in the same environment as locals helps us to solve problems together.”</p>\n<p>One of her difficulties was the constant electrical blackouts that she experienced in Ghana, but she optimistically recalls that the even the darkness helped her to think about life and remember why she was volunteering. “I can appreciate nature and the environment much better,” she says now.</p>\n<p>Norihide was stationed in a remote village, one day drive from Malawi’s capital city, and far away from the bustle of the heavily populated cities that he remembered back home. His hardships often included finding basic equipment at the school. Classes of as many as 150 students gathered outside to scrawl notes on homemade backboards, while he hunted for people to donate footballs to the school’s athletic program. When it rained, nobody came to school, so he helped coordinate a feeding program that dished out rice porridge to students. </p>\n<p>One hardship is convincing locals to overcome their perceptions of Japanese people. “What they know about our country is that it is rich,” Maiko states, so people often begged for money and other stuff. It was also frustrating how some locals broadly categorized Japanese as “white” people. Norihide notes that Africans often referred to him as Chinese, but admits that it was part of the educational experience that he had to eventually overcome. “I think they were happy that I was there. They started to see me as Japanese.”</p>\n<p>For some JICA volunteers, the hardship also included attitudes about them after returning home. Both Norihide and Maiko point out that volunteer work isn’t as respected yet in Japan like the Peace Corps is in the United States. Some employers feel that two years is too much time spent away from traditional work at a Japanese company. “It can be a disadvantage,” to finding jobs afterward, Norihide admits.</p>\n<p><b>Seeking Confident Women</b></p>\n<p>One difficulty as a JICA volunteer is rising above the country’s traditional gender roles; however, a large number of Japanese women are doing exactly that as they survive challenges abroad. In 2004, the percentage of female JICA volunteers surpassed the rate of men. Over 12,500 women have now volunteered for JICA, and this number is set to increase. </p>\n<p>Maiko explains that many Japanese women want to “test themselves in a different country, too.” She had to confront her shyness to become a more effective volunteer. While teaching reproductive health to African men and women, she sometimes “felt awkward promoting condoms in front of large groups of men.” However, in order to increase awareness about AIDS prevention, she had to learn to deal with the intimate questions of students. </p>\n<p>“As a teacher, I wasn’t afraid or ashamed of anything,” she points out, and over time she could observe examples of changing attitudes. One day a boy promised he would take his girlfriend to the health clinic with him. She also helped AIDS patients generate a small income from activities such as soap making, which included attempts to change villagers’ perceptions about how the disease is spread.</p>\n<p>Volunteer experience does make Japanese women feel stronger and more confident, and for this reason, Maiko strived to get local women more involved in development projects as well. She explains that it is women who still carry the water, and that male villagers often refused to do this task even when paid. “You do what you think needs to be done,” Maiko suggests, “When you teach them how to sew, you are also teaching them to be more independent.”</p>\n<p><b>Keeping Dreams Alive</b></p>\n<p>The two-year experience as a JICA volunteer changes one for life. It is understandable therefore that a significant number of JICA alumni prefer to remain overseas and work on other development projects. Many volunteers also re-enroll in the JICA program after finishing their contract.</p>\n<p>“International development is complex and difficult. At the same time, I have become even more interested in the subject than ever before,” Norihide explains, “You can use JICA to carry out your dream, but you shoulder a responsibility we should never forget.”</p>\n<p>“One of JICA’s purposes is to educate young Japanese persons through volunteer work. If I go to a developing country, I can help,” Yu explains, “but I also get something in return.” </p>\n<p>All three have kept their dream of global participation alive. Norihide presently works as an Intern at the UNESCO office in Bangkok, while continuing with his Master’s studies in the Anthropology of Education. Yu resides in Thailand and utilizes his multi-lingual skills for a Japanese-Thai company. Maiko will seek a Master’s Degree in Public Health at Mahidol University and hopes to work for a NGO after graduation. </p>\n<p>Japan views these volunteers as a valuable investment. They not only help to raise a developing country to a higher level, but they also establish solid bonds between its citizens and communities abroad. This new trend of volunteerism reflects a growing global consciousness among its university graduates. Indirectly, JICA also demonstrates the EFL industry’s impact in the country. In just 1-2 generations, Japanese citizens have learned English skills to the point where they can now use them globally in third countries. With this language, many Japanese youth have survived the “lost decade” and etched out new paths on the global stage. </p>','','2008-09-30 20:19:53',1,'2008-09-30 20:19:53','2018-04-15 03:03:15'),(192,11,'Have a seat at the cafe','have-a-seat-at-the-cafe','An interview with Dave Sperling','Dave Sperling speaks about the trials and tribulations of his ground-breaking website, as well as where the education industry is heading ','<p>If you have ever looked for a teaching job online, sought out like-minded educators abroad for a virtual chat, or even surfed the Internet for a quick lesson plan moments before class; you are already likely to be acquainted with www.eslcafe.com . It was the first educational website of its kind. Originally designed as a classroom experiment in 1995, it became fully operational in 1996 and quickly morphed in all academic directions. English learners could soon use it to look up phrasal verbs, slang and idioms. Schools advertised for teachers and found them from across the globe. Expatriates logged onto its various forums to spar or provide helpful support; and for many recent university graduates, it was the gateway to Asia leading to their first teaching job.</p>\n<p>ESLcafe played an instrumental role in the rise of the English as a Second Language (ESL) industry, as well as English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It also demonstrated the potential for Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). As global communities spread with the Internet, and English became the dominant language online, it was natural for schools and teachers to use this resource to make contact. </p>\n<p>The website was pioneered by Dave Sperling, a man who was once horribly intimidated by computers but finally overcame this fear when he realized he could use them for his classrooms. Self-teaching himself on a Macintosh Performa, the Internet is what excited him most, “I was blown away at being able to meet and communicate with others from around the planet,” he says. </p>\n<p>And all of this started with a basic teaching job.</p>\n<p><b>Getting experienced</b><br />\nSperling explains, “Japan was booming in the 1980s, and it really was the place to be,” so he flew to Tokyo, Japan, and scored his first teaching job within weeks. </p>\n<p>“Ah the dark ages before the Internet,” he reminisces, “My job was found the old fashioned way: I just flew over to Tokyo, purchased a Monday’s edition of the Japan Times, and began calling school after school until I lined up interviews throughout the city.”</p>\n<p>“It was fairly chaotic,” he says of his first English classes, “I don’t remember there being an actual curriculum! I do remember a resource room with a lot of ESL books, as well as a copy machine, so I’d put something together at the last minute. Anyway, I was supposed to teach English conversation, and my students only wanted to talk.” </p>\n<p>From this initial experience, the BA degree-welding psychology major saw a niche, which he spun with entrepreneur spirit into co-ownership of a profitable language school.</p>\n<p><b>Well timed for Thailand</b><br />\nAfter saving a sizable nest egg in Japan, Sperling did what many other English teachers do – go to Thailand! His first vacation here was in 1988, and he immediately “fell head over heels in love with the country.” He rented a house in Chiang Mai, studied Thai, rented a motorcycle and started exploring. </p>\n<p>Before long, Sperling’s travels in Thailand led to love once again, but this time it involved something more than the country. In 1989, he got married to his Thai wife, Dao, and become a father to a son, Benjamin, in 1991. His daughter, Shannon, was born much later in 1997. He returned to teaching and raised his family in Chiang Mai. His resume includes local employment at AUA and Chiang Mai University. </p>\n<p>Sperling’s stay in Thailand lasted until 1992, when his family decided to leave for California, US. He explains, “I was 30 years old, married, a new father, and I was worried about my future.” He eventually earned a MA in applied linguistics at California State University, Northridge, and figured out how to operate computers. Although Sterling still visits Thailand often and feels deeply rooted to the country, the Internet revolution overcame him. </p>\n<p><b>A virtual café opens</b><br />\n“I had no idea” how quickly the ESL industry would boom in the 1980s, Sperling admits, but by the mid-1990s, he clearly realized the potential for computers in the classroom, “especially when I began getting my students online in 1995.”</p>\n<p>“I was working with a group of burned-out intermediate writing students, and the Internet seemed to really get them excited about learning,” Sperling elaborates, “I used to actually bring my computer to class, and I had them working in pairs learning how to use a computer, as well as how to create a web page. We published a class web page in December of 1995, and it was a big hit with the students.”</p>\n<p>Managing the new website wasn’t easy. Sperling explains, “Family and teaching consumed a lot of my time, so I’d stay up late into the night building and working the website, sometimes until 3AM. It was something that I was passionate about.”</p>\n<p>The hard work was rewarded as the website’s audience expanded. Sperling’s innovations in computer technology for classroom situations led to the publication of his book, The Internet Guide for English Language Teachers, by Prentice Hall in 1997. It was followed by two additional Internet-related books. </p>\n<p>In an odd way, he became a pop icon for the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) industry. “It was an exciting time in my life because I was proud of being part of the Internet revolution and being one of the first individuals to introduce the Internet to the ESL/EFL community. I subsequently traveled around the world giving Internet seminars to students and teachers, which was both exhausting and exhilarating,” he explains, so he finally made the decision to devote all of his time and energy building the website.”</p>\n<p>“ESLcafe was never meant to become a business,” Sperling insists, “It just became one out of necessity.” The cost of bandwidth was prohibitively expensive ($600-$800 per month, 20-27,000 baht), especially while raising his family with a small teaching salary. He considered closing the website down for awhile due to financial constraints, but decided to accept advertisements to defray expenses instead. </p>\n<p>“The first banner ads began in 1998,” Sperling says, and he started charging for this service in April 1999. At first, this financial maneuver sparked a great deal of criticism among viewers, there were cries of sellout, but it was the only way the website could have survived. It was a critical decision, which marked the website’s transformation into a lucrative business. It also marked Sperling’s transition into a new profession. “I quit teaching at the end of 1999, and I’ve run Dave’s ESLcafé full-time ever since.”</p>\n<p><b>Industry snags and struggles</b><br />\nThe education industry has hit a recent snag. The global economy is on a downturn and many private schools suffer from the crunch. The Nova corporation, in Japan, went bankrupt, sending thousands of teachers home jobless, and many Korean private schools (hogwons) have gone out of business. Teacher training course providers have also been hurt as enrollments declined. </p>\n<p>Moreover, a number of governments have cracked down on foreign teachers with new policies for visas and work permits. Some countries are trying to put the breaks on an industry that is seen as unpredictable and out of control.</p>\n<p>“There is definitely a backlash,” Sperling observes, “and the industry has made it more difficult for teachers to secure work visas in many places throughout Asia. In Korea, for example, it’s mandatory to provide sealed transcripts from your university, a health exam and a criminal background check.”</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Sperling admits his support of some alterations in the industry, “We are heading into the direction of increased regulation, which is probably a good thing because it means more of a standard on who can and who cannot teach EFL.”</p>\n<p>ESLcafe remains strong despite the weak global economy, new government regulations and competition from similar websites that have spawned. New markets for English learning keep opening up, and poor economies in the West encourage even more graduates to seek teaching positions overseas. </p>\n<p>“Korea and China are currently the really big markets for teaching,” Sperling notices, “but there are many growing markets throughout the world: Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Russia to name a few.” Schools need his website now more than ever, especially when finding a good native-English speaking teacher can make the difference in a company’s failure or success. </p>\n<p>Schools still need teachers, and for this reason, the ESLcafe continues to thrive. To place it into perspective, over the past 30 days, Sperling has received nearly 600 advertisements for teaching jobs for South Korea alone.</p>\n<p><b>Taming the Internet </b><br />\nThe success of Sperling’s website, however, has caused a type of backlash of its own. There have been complaints of over-moderation on his forums, censorship of posts and undue influence from advertisers. At issue is some particular controversies relating to how the Internet should be controlled. </p>\n<p>In 2005, South Korean citizens pressured an expatriate’s website to shut down after an anonymous user posted offensive material about having sex with local women. Other problems occurred over the naming-and-shaming of schools. Users want the right to warn other teachers about bad schools, while schools worry about being attacked anonymously online without the ability to defend themselves.</p>\n<p>Sperling responds, “All forums need moderators, and my team has done an outstanding job maintaining a high standard of quality … and I’ve even lost advertisers due to some of the negative comments that were written.”</p>\n<p>Critics forget that the website has always been primarily about education. It was created specifically for learning English. At times the open forums can be a distraction to the website’s original cause. While the advertisements do create revenue, the website has remained available to most users at no cost. Students are not charged any fees to review material online, teachers can still post their resumes for free, and anyone is welcome to log onto the forums with no price tag attached. The brunt of expenses continues to fall on schools, private companies and recruiting agencies. </p>\n<p><b>Revisiting the roots</b><br />\nSperling’s website has gone through a major transformation recently. A new forum was added in response to the burgeoning EFL industry in China, and Sperling hired a designer to give the website a new look.</p>\n<p>Returning to the days of 1995, in which EFLcafe was developed as an educational tool, a new section will be added specifically for students. Sperling remarks, “I’m currently working on creating a ‘Tips on Learning English’ section, which will have 300-400 pages of hints on how to learn English.”</p>\n<p>For students who want to study English, he suggests, “a lot is up to you, the language learner-- to take advantage of every opportunity to improve. Read anything you can in English; speak to as many people as possible in English; watch movies, television, and videos in English; listen to the radio in English; write email, letters and a journal in English. Do whatever you can to improve -- it\'s up to you.”</p>\n<p>The door is always open at the ESLcafe. There is plenty of room available, so pull up a seat and log on. </p>','','2008-08-31 18:18:56',1,'2008-08-31 18:18:56','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(193,11,'The end (sort of)','the-end-sort-of','Reflections on a last decade','It has been a long and interesting decade.

The ugly American had returned, but this time I shaved. My passport had filled up already. There were no more empty pages left. Plus, I needed to get a new one before I could sign another contract. I prepared for the event the night before by eating Mexican food and drinking Guinness beer – two things that strongly remind me of the United States. I needed practice; I have been away far too long. Case in point: I messed up while filling out my application twice. I kept writing in the dates with the British style – day before month. I was more cautious my third try, because I worried that I’d be driven away as an imposter if I made another mistake. Three strikes and your out. Anyway, I was waiting in the lobby, you follow, and I starting thinking about my life since I first got my passport ten years ago. </p>\n<p>It has been a long and interesting decade. When I applied for my first passport I was still living in a car. I imagined that an overseas teaching job might get me off the streets. I ended up teaching homeless and illiterate Americans instead as an VISTA volunteer. This is how I acquired the taste for classrooms. Since then I have taught formally and informally across Europe and Asia. I ricocheted like a bullet with a trajectory rather than a plan. I bounced around the globe teaching for 2-3 years until Thailand’s low salaries sounded nice. And it was nice until my house flooded in 2002. I spent my last two months having to paddle boats to class from my riverside bungalow. My comfortable living space got pulled out from under me by nature like a rug, so I fled back to America full of lukewarm nostalgia and fantasies of success. It was shortly after 9-11, President Bush was still training for war speeches, and I had my first published book in hand. I imagined that I could nail my work to an employer’s doorway as part of a resume. No dice. The United States was in the middle of a major recession. I got stuck in an endless cycle of temp jobs. Then the U.S. started the Iraq war by more or less lying about weapons of mass destruction. I bailed when I realized that no job program was immediately forthcoming. I tried Europe at first, but Asia rolled out a better welcome mat. I went to Korea for a second year then boomeranged back – to Thailand – the country where I last felt like I had a stable home.<br />\nThe past decade rolled my brain up like a tortilla as I kissed the Blarney Stone hoping that it would all work out in the end. As I waited in the lobby to apply for a new passport, a lot of fresh chaos was shaking up my life. My contract was nearly over and I needed to decide if I should renew. Meanwhile, I landscaped my home while trying to grow a sense of place. I was becoming domesticated; it was weird. I planted a garden, laid down a bricked and terraced foundation, and cleared away concrete debris. After one-month of intense labor, I had created a wonderful living space. It was too wonderful in fact. The landlady liked it so much that she sold our house. Faced with being uprooted for a second time, with a nearly exhausted teaching contract in hand, I did the most logical thing. I posted an ad on the Internet. I am now familiar with the routine: fire off a resume, initiate email exchange, and narrow the search down. Within days nearly 100 job offers poured in. This round pulled in invitations from Korea, China, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Mongolia, and both sides of Yemen. I culled through 90% of these selections with instant deletion and began the process of serious vocational courtship. </p>\n<p>It was at this time that an industrious Pom named Marmite started to confront me. He explained, “You don’t have to change countries just because you have to shift gaffs”. He also admonished me for not buying a desktop computer. “You’re holding out for a notebook computer that you can’t afford just because you’re too reluctant to settle down with something less mobile like a desktop”, he said. He was right, but I didn’t care. He had never known the feeling of being forcibly uprooted. I was busy prowling for new opportunities. Talks about stability were the furthest thing from my mind. Most countries pay English teachers shite salaries anyway. I just needed to decide where I would go next. Where should I sail off to? Then Marmite bought me my next Guinness. He maneuvered ahead strategically, “Mate, what you need is a really big project; something massive that will require a lot of time-consuming research”. The bloke was throwing me an anchor and I knew it. He tempted my sweet memories of lonely archival research done in dark basements at a public university. I recalled the scent of dusty microfilm on my fingertips and images of long hours with no pay. I got to admit that my interest was piqued. Another Guinness and I was ready to listen. </p>\n<p>****<br />\nThen I went back to teaching classes. I thought about the things that I had learned about teaching since I was first issued my passport. And one of those things is this: in the end, learning is the students’ own responsibility. I realize that I am not supposed to admit that as a teacher, however, if a student doesn’t learn it is his/her own bloody fault. Teachers can get certificates and study new methodologies until their eyes bulge like a bouncing bladder on a public bus. Parents can spend top dollar for private schools and buy their children bags of electronic gadgets for studying. Governments can redesign education policies until the buffalo jumps over the moon. None of this matters one iota if students aren’t willing to do their part. Students need to take good notes and review them periodically, they need to do homework without copying, and pupils need to sacrifice extra time to read books. Knowledge can be painful and time-consuming to acquire. Education is hard work. Let’s face it: many students are just too lazy and passive to put in the effort. There isn’t much a teacher can do when students skip class too often, gossip all day in class, cheat on tests, and cut-and-paste reports off the Internet. Sure, we can punish them with a variety of methods. We can call their parents or threaten them with bad grades. We can take away their mobile phones for sending text messages in class. We can place gold stars in the corner of there assignments or give bonus points as reward. However, all this positive and negative reinforcement adds up to nothing when a student simply doesn’t care. Ultimately, in the end, learning is our students’ responsibility. They need to put their butts to work. </p>\n<p>The best that teachers can do is to inspire curiosity. The gateway to knowledge starts with questions. Students have to be curious about how words link together and reshuffle. They have to be inquisitive about the functions of English and have the desire to communicate in different contexts. They have to be willing to peek around the corner and explore the area down the block. They have to go out there and get confused. Then sort questions out later like a puzzle. As my contract comes to its end, I have been focusing more and more on community-based learning with a variety of local projects. I am getting students out of their seats for physical research. I supply them with a number of questions then require them to interview people in their neighborhood. They come back the next week with original research. My motive is to make them curious about their own lives. I want them to explore their own communities and learn how to discuss them. For the most part, students have honored this responsibility. They care about the topic because it applies to their own lives. In result, as a teacher, I am learning to trust in my students and their capacity to create something useful and fresh about Ayutthaya. </p>\n<p>To illustrate, my struggle to find a sense of place had made me curious about my students’ own perception about their village. What did they know about home? I decided to ask them about it during my Humans and the Environment class. I was teaching them about old Ayutthaya; showing them outdated pix and explaining the former uses of remote canals. I was telling them about past wildlife. Many didn’t realize that a variety of deer and a number of wild boar had once lived around the city. Crocodiles once roamed in Sena and elephants were captured in nearby Saraburi. The flying fox bats and giant monitor lizards existed back then, and their local habitat included what is now Rajabhat property. Ayutthaya Island was once an oxbow instead of an island, and some canals had been expanded east in increments Basically, I attempted to spread curiosity. Once I had their interest I could persuade them to work on a project. I sent them to their parents and grandparents to talk about the history of their village. They returned with reports and discussed them in class. Some students went all out. They produced old photographs and pages of useful material. Later, we built on this exercise to create cultural maps. More layers of research can be added as we go. </p>\n<p>In the end it was my students who motivated me to renew my contract. These student projects were coming to fruit. The students’ village histories listed above illustrated their ability to produce something valuable. Another class created a fantastic picture dictionary of architectural words. I didn’t even ask them to put it together. Other students have been tracking down maps and old photographs. They have located a refrigerator-sized wall map, which we have been labeling and color-coding together as a group. We have produced a list of nearly 150 temples and mapped out their locations. We have added the names of local canals and rivers. Next we might list the names and locations of villages. What they are doing is learning English by studying local geography, history, and sociology. With the maps, students have been creating valid visual aids for the education of future classes. They are also conducting valid ethnographic research about their own community. Soon we may make copies of this map and share it with others. Moreover, my students are beginning to ask a lot of questions and take initiative on their own. If students are willing to produce new outlets for communication like these then I shall be happy to return.</p>\n<p>****<br />\nI picked up my passport two weeks later. A few incidents had happened during that time. A group of terrorists were caught planning to destroy ten airplanes in mid flight with liquid explosives. There was also the arrest of a pedophile who had claimed to murder the child beauty-pageant star, Jon Benet Ramsey, ten years ago. I braced myself for the worse. I removed any form of liquid from my backpack and stashed it on the side of the road. I wore clean socks. The security guards at the entrance forced me to turn off my cell phone and took it away. They removed my camera and other electronic items. The staff even rummaged through my newspaper to see if anything was hidden inside. It contained an article about video x-rays that could reveal a person’s naked body to security officials. I imagined which celebrity would get her x-ray pix leaked on the Internet first. Then I canceled that thought because it is always a good idea to avoid getting turned on while going through security checks. The American fortress in Thailand is protected by enormous reinforced walls and spiked railings. I had to wonder if it might not be easier to just reevaluate our foreign policy. Maybe it is time to dominate the world less and to build stronger alliances abroad with education. </p>\n<p>My passport was not waiting when I arrived. The friendly staff suggested that I come back three hours later and try again. I decided to kill time with a proper breakfast – rice noodle soup. As I skillfully dug through the noodles with a spoon and chopsticks I worried about my passport. I hint of paranoia crept in. Had I done something wrong? Could they take my passport away for being a broke American abroad? Would they harass me for protesting the Iraq war? I had a job that I loved and a roof over my head. I feared getting further uprooted by last-minute plot shifts and sudden surprises. Then I turned to the broth of my soup. I lamented on how education develops lasting bonds overseas. Why can’t the United States have a teaching program for recent university graduates (Canada does, and it’s called Korea)? Many citizens would be happy to volunteer in trade for a reduction of student loans. The demand for English skills is high globally, and the Peace Corp supplies only the smallest trickle of teachers. Certainly, a government program that supplies English teachers would be much more appreciated internationally than an expensive war that makes no friends. As an added bonus, it could help screen out pedophiles and teachers with phony degrees. It is time for western governments (the Yanks, the Limies, the Canucks, Kiwis, and Aussies) as the benefactors of English, to take a more pro-active role in the EFL industry.</p>\n<p>It turns out that my brief episode of paranoia was unfounded. My delayed passport was ready to go when I returned. Picking it up felt like trick-or-treating. I stared at my photograph in disbelief. I had been baptized American once again. I had flashbacks to those things that remind me of American culture: basketball, hockey, toasted avocado and sprout sandwiches, taco trucks, tater tots, eating sushi to Jazz, the smell of cedar forests after rainfall, microbrew, mossy roofs, and markets that sell Polish pilsner. This was more than a mere passport. This document marked a life transition. I was moving into a entirely new chapter. The last decade had been very rough. The next decade may present new opportunities. With this sense of new hope, I raced toward the Thai Immigration Department to seal the deal with a new visa. </p>\n<p>I presented myself to Thai immigration gleaming as a new and improved teacher – full of verifiable university degrees, international job experience, and locally-earned teaching certificates. I had become the type of teacher that Thailand claims it wants most. I did my part to get qualified, and I had a brand spanking new U.S. passport. While waiting in line the next three hours, I fantasized about a higher tiered teaching salary awaiting me, or an expedited process for visas and work permits, perhaps even a residency pass. After all, I have taught at the same school for a total of three years, and I was only continuing my contract from where the last one tapered off. Yeah, dream on! It never happens that easy in Thailand. Instead, I was promptly fined 2,000 THB for not reporting for the standard 90 day parole check (it came during mid-term exams and I had no time to leave the provinces for Bangkok, plus packages of official documents tend to disappear in the mail). The Immigration Department decided to bounce me to Ayutthaya and back demanding other work permit documents. Three trips, two canceled classes, and 5,000 THB later; and I was almost ready to teach on-the-books once again. Thai immigration was so excited to have me back that they took up the first thirteen pages of my passport with blue-inked stamps. My passport wasn’t even 24 hours old and nearly 60% of it had already been used up. Some readers may claim this is a bit of overkill, but I just call it the country’s spirit of education.</p>\n<p>It felt like I was starting a long journey on half a gas tank. I gathered together my tattered backpack, my scratched digital camera, and my battered computer. I was ready to begin yet another year in Thailand. I had new projects lined up and fresh ideas. My students did, too. I was only one in over a million of English teachers working abroad – fumbling through lesson plans, avoiding “dong chims”, testing new teaching methods, sometimes winging it, and occasional nailing it all together alright. Yeah, I am one of those EFL people. Whatcha gonna do about it? I am one of many. And we are coming on strong. Some teachers go to other places, but I have caught that contagious case of whiteboard wanderlust for unforgettable Thailand. </p>\n<p>****<br />\nIn the end, my notebook computer finally went tits up. Two hinges have been smashed clean off. The first hinge was cracked at the airport when I returned to the United States with my first published book in hand. Welcome home. The custom officers were feeling a bit angry and careless that day shortly after 9-11. They cracked it while forcing it open. The second hinge gave out as I traipsed across France and Germany looking for work (the first draft of my second book preserved on hard drive). My computer bounced around my backpack in the hot sun once too often. By the time I made it to Korea, my laptop was stringed together using salvaged wire. Scotch tape plugged the cracks in its body so dust couldn’t get in. My computer no longer shut, so it was left permanently open. It sat there on an empty table staring at me like the suffering eye of a hungry child. I felt sort of guilty, so I started to pen a third book. This was why I began to write monthly articles for www.ajarn.com. </p>\n<p>It has been exactly two years since I wrote my first contribution to this website. Now, my computer’s life literally hangs by a thread. Only a small ribbon attaches it to its monitor. My CD drive is busted, the outdated battery no longer holds a charge, and lose bones rattles inside when I move it. This gentle beast has become outright primitive in old age, and it is not worth the surgery to repair. I originally bought it seven years ago from a Welsh phonics specialist. Since then I have put it to productive use. I have written three books, dozens of on-line articles, and a plethora of academic material. I have traveled with this computer for nearly as long as I held my passport. The expiration dates on both items, unfortunately, have expired. I burn incense and make offerings daily in hopes that this computer survives one more month. I need it to last until the end of the semester. I will buy a new one if I get my bonus. When your computer dies it is a rite of passage of sorts. You must reevaluate life and make important decisions. By next month I will have stocked up on a new passport, a new contract, and a new computer. I even bought a bag of brown rice. Therefore, I might as well kill this Blog while it’s still ahead. It is time to move onto new enterprises. Before I go, I dedicate these website articles to my old traveling companion: Acer TravelMate 512T (1999-2006). Rest in Peace. You served me well, mate! </p>\n<p>****<br />\nFear not, kind readers, for I am leaving you with a parting gift. You see, I have been busy lately with a few big, time-consuming, projects. If you want to read more of my material, than check out the information below:</p>\n<p>1) I will start writing weekly columns about teaching for the “Learning Post” section of the Bangkok Post newspaper. They will explore the EFL industry much like my monthly articles on ajarn.com, except each piece will be 1,000 words or less. New material will be released every Tuesday. </p>\n<p>2) I am now co-owner of a new website for Ayutthaya tourism. This website will be the most fully comprehensive guide to Ayutthaya ever produced. I will most likely be posting new articles about local travel and tours every month. It will be under construction during September, but you can have a sneak preview at: www.ayutthaya-info.com.  </p>\n<p>3) I have three books available for purchase (300 THB each): </p>\n<p><b>Road Rash:</b> Western Tourists and Expatriates at Play in Asia’s Global Village is a study of the rapid increase of tourism in Asia and the impact of western visitors. It explores the transition from naïve tourist to seasoned traveler, and from traveler to hardened expatriate. The book also documents travel experiences immediately following the 9/11 incident up to the Bali bombings. It was released in Thailand by Postbooks, the publishing branch of the Bangkok Post newspaper. It has nearly sold out, but copies can still be made available by request. </p>\n<p><b>Lifting Fire</b> is a study of extreme poverty in the land of a superpower. It explores the mind frames that entrap individuals within poverty, and discusses the social anchors that prevent impoverished men from exploding with violence and rage. </p>\n<p><b>Whiteboard Wanderlust</b> is a study of EFL teaching in Asia. Many articles originally appeared on ajarn.com, but I have added a twist. This book contains a different beginning, middle, and end. The new chapters contain all the self-incriminating material that I did not want to include on-line. Together, they will provide an entirely new and surprising context to the articles.

I hovered far behind them trying to negotiate. I spoke in Thai as politely as possible while offering staff a respectful wai (a traditional Thai hand gesture). But, her own hands gripped my shoulder dragging me back. The woman insisted as her fingernails dug in, “You farang. You pay 30 baht”. I tried to reason with her. I am the tourism teacher at Rajabhat University Phranakhon Sri Ayutthaya. This visit was for a tour guide class. My students need to learn about local tour sites. We could either memorize passages straight from a book or visit the temples in person for active hands-on learning. I was acting in full capacity as a teacher. I even dressed respectfully in the standard shirt and tie. Still, the woman’s hands refused to release, “You farang. You pay 30 baht”. No discount are offered to foreign teachers, even if we are Buddhist. Once again a Thai official reminded me that, above all things, I am an outsider. </p>\n<p>This event wouldn’t have been a big deal, but it was the third time it happened that day. I got stopped at Wat Ratchaburana earlier. I spent the previous hour in class discussing the history and architectural details of this temple. I wanted students to go outside the classroom to see, smell, and feel it all live. Students had no idea that a staircase was built in 1959 that leads to a crypt below. There were old Buddhist murals that I wanted students to practice describing to me. We even met a Thai scholar at the entrance great. It would have been nice for us to speak together as professionals while students practiced translations, but the only words uttered to me were, “Your admission is 30 baht”. On the way there, a tuk-tuk driver demanded that I pay fifteen, when students were only asked for five. And we took that ride together in the exact same vehicle. In the end, the only rational given for this double standard was, “You farang”.</p>\n<p>These double standards are getting expensive. I have two tourism classes that require field work. It cost me 200 THB last week just for admission fees alone. It is true that virtually every temple in Ayutthaya has openings where tourists can sneak in for free [hint: walk around the outer walls until you find a section low enough to climb]. However, I didn’t want my students to observe me breaking such rules. There are principles involved that I am not willing to compromise. There is the matter of respect for professionalism. Education is a form of improvement. I strive to produce a constructive learning environment that local students will remember. In turn, do Thai officials strive to attract and retain skilled teachers? Or are migratory “cowboy” teachers still good enough? Likewise, do officials want to produce new revenue-generating tours? Or is persisting with the old stagnant variety the preferable alternative? It benefits Thailand to lift standards to a higher level. These admission fees are quick profit at the expense of overall development. These fees should be waived so teachers like me can train students properly (and weekly discount passes, good for all temples, should be offered to virtually all visitors as an incentive for them to stay longer). The long-term outcome ultimately benefits Thailand, but are these positive contributions secondary to the fact that we are outsiders? </p>\n<p>Next week, I plan to inform students that I will no longer take them to the temples that demand payment from me as a teacher. I am tired of being singled out in front of my students. Enough is enough. Let the inefficient status quo protect its own interests for now. I won’t be picking up the tab. It is too bad for my students. Many of these temples are where qualified tour guides are most desperately needed. My students could have profited from the demand for English-speaking assistance. They could have planted the seeds for new eco-tours. They could have promoted creatively fresh day excursions to provincial cites. The city could boost its reputation with locally trained guides, rather than the usual Bangkok-based travel agencies. This makes common sense. Shouldn’t the cash stay here rather than be given to the most dominant metropolitan city? Local travel agencies are starting to proliferate. New growth is happening. Ayutthaya has the potential to become a future hot spot for long-stay visitors. There are more sites to see and activities to do than either locals or tourists realize. Sometimes it takes a foreign traveler to point out the tasty morsels lurking outside the familiar. But is it more important to Thai officials that I am an outsider? </p>\n<p>As a foreigner I am also prohibited from becoming a tour guide. I can not legally own my own travel company, even if it employs well-trained students. Like other outsiders, I would be required to put up funds to start a business with Thai partners who have controlling interest. In other words, I would need to start a shell company – though new laws might make this practice illegal in the future. Those who invest in Thailand are taking a serious risk. Outsiders can put money into a start-up company only to have it taken away by Thai partners. Foreign husbands may invest lifetime savings into a family home, only to have it snatched off by a Thai spouse because outsiders are not allowed to own property. This anti-foreign-ownership environment makes Thailand ripe for crime. Manipulative swindles are rapidly burgeoning. Outsiders are commonplace marks for almost any scam (artificial gem stones, forged antiques, dishonored contracts, bar girl hustles, standard bribes, etc.). As a stranger in a strange land, it may be difficult to find the same level of justice that you would expect at home. And it is only a matter of time before occupational scams start hitting our schools. The investments made by English teachers (time, money, energy) are unlikely to lead to the payoff of job security. As an outsider any business transaction can go sour, and it remains to be seen if anyone will protect us. Likewise, nobody will bail teachers out in case of a stock collapse, an outbreak of war, or a natural calamity. You must pay the “admission” and “exit” fees in the end.</p>\n<p>As an English teacher in Thailand you will always be an outsider. We are required to check in every 90 days with the immigration department or pay an exorbitant fine. If we decide to stay at the same school for an extra year, we must physically leave Thailand to start a new visa process. Although there are a few shortcuts available, some more risky than others, the basic process requires a trip across the border (usually Malaysia or Lao) to get an initial three-month-visa. This short visa enables teacher to apply for a three-month-work permit. Then teachers are allowed to apply for an one-year-long visa. Afterward, teachers must loop back to the provincial office and change work permits to twelve months. The process of obtaining a legitimate visa is very long, and it often demands a lot of expensive, time-consuming, travel. By the time I completed my visa process, it had cost me nearly 10,000 THB ($250). Add another 2,500 THB ($62) for a multi-entry visa, otherwise you will pay 1,000 THB every time that you leave Thailand – even for day trips. Tax-paying English teachers with Thai wives and Thai children are offered no reprieve. They, too, must pack up every year and run for the border. Long term EFL professionals are given no breaks. They are given visas at the usual rate. To a degree, this expensive process reminds me of charging admission fees. Being an outsider, you must pay the maximum rate just to get into schools to teach legitimately. </p>\n<p>Compare this price gouging with other countries. My one-year, multi-entry, visa and work permit for Hungary only cost me $40, and I never had to leave the country to obtain it. My multi-entry visa and work permit for Korea only set me back about $50. I picked up my short visa at a Korean embassy in only one day, and it was easy to extend that duration to twelve months once I arrived. Japan and Taiwan also have relatively simple visa procedures. Wealthier Asian countries keep the price down to make teaching more alluring. Hungary places a low price tag on visas because it has a poor economy. Therefore, it is baffling that a developing country, such as Thailand, demands that outsiders pay 4-5 times the rate as other Asian countries. Think about this closely: English teachers can get permits/visas in Korea for one-fifth the cost of Thailand’s, plus Korean school will pay housing and airfare. Western teachers in Thailand can nearly triple their salaries by moving. Therefore, it is worthwhile to ask why foreigners teach in Thailand when there are better deals elsewhere. And if a teacher chooses to reside in Thailand, why bother going through the hassle of becoming legitimate? </p>\n<p>These questions lead to the dark underbelly of Thailand’s EFL industry. Let’s face it: the cowboys have invaded and they’re here to stay. Many English teachers are tourists who only want to extend travel by getting a quick paycheck. Some are fly-by-night sex-pats who have run out of cash. Many English teachers are fleeing a criminal past, or hiding from life back home. A significant number of English teachers have bought phony university degrees from Thai vendors on Khao San Road. I know one teacher who designed his in only one hour at an Internet café in Bangkok. Some English teachers have worked on bogus visa stamps bought from dodgy Thai agencies. Even fake TEFL certificates can be produced on locally “pirated” software. Many English teachers work here even though they are not native speakers. I have met “non-official” English teachers from Germany, Belgium, France, Morocco, Nigeria, Kenya, Israel, Russia, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines. And many of them could barely speak or write English. Teaching gigs are easy to pick up even for non-native English speakers. Experience, integrity, and quality are non-variables. Thailand is willing to settle for less. If you cut your toe on a piece of glass you would practically bleed out your next job or grow it as an infection. The demand for teachers is very high and supply is rather limited. At times Thai schools would be willing to accept anyone off the streets if they look “foreign”. </p>\n<p>Thailand’s giant-rolling-donut of a loophole is that English teachers can work here for years without ever going “legitimate”. They can cut through bureaucratic red tape with monthly visa runs. This process is simple: visit Thailand on a monthly tourist visa, work until time runs out, then head to the border for a visa run. Come back with a new tourist visa and start the revolving process all over again. Many English teachers prefer to work off the radar. When they tire of a teaching gig they can abandon the school. When the next full-moon rave takes place on Ko Pha-Ngan they can simply leave. Students hardly get to know them. There are no strings attached because the contract was never valid in the first place. Work permits and long-visas can be bypassed. The cowboys are also immune from the insulting 90-day check-ins. These English teachers exist outside a system that recognizes them only as outsiders. They are crashing the gate in mass and climbing walls without paying. At times I think ‘more power to them’. They are driving down salary rates, but maybe they are taking a path more righteous than mine. </p>\n<p>Teacher quality depends on the bait that Thailand is willing to cast. If schools are willing to employ bottom-feeders than so be it. It is easy for good teachers and scholars to find jobs elsewhere. However, many of us stay because we have fallen in love with Thailand. It’s a curse I tell you. The county’s primary flaw is that it makes few distinctions among “farangs”. We are all outsiders. It doesn’t matter if one is a professional teacher who is dedicated to a school or a fly-by-night cowboy who will take the money and run. You will both get paid the same most likely. The visa run doesn’t get any easier or less expensive because you have proven yourself as a reliable foreigner. Professional English teachers are not given any discount rate for residing at the same location for years. Your visa will not be placed on fast track because your school provides solid references. You are highly unlikely to receive tenure or any long-term faculty position. Westerners still have to kiss their children and spouses goodbye as they retreat to the nearest border on visa run. We are all outsiders. We will always be outsiders. Thailand does not belong to us and it never will. Yet, many of us have invested so much life into this relationship that it is difficult to move on. We learn to compromise. Some teachers chose to play the game and others don’t. Meanwhile, Thai students are bottle-necked at the gate waiting. And we dig in our pockets looking for change. </p>','','2006-07-31 18:31:19',1,'2006-07-31 18:31:19','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(195,11,'Where it all came from','where-it-all-came-from','A short history of Thai education','King Chulalongkorn is highly revered today for his advocacy of modern education.

Its blue blood bled across the white board; forming words and phrases like “change”, “rage”, and “rite of passage”. The university’s new semester had begun, and I was trying to create student interest in a class called Human Behavior and Self-Development. My blue marker pen froze beneath the word “change” as I underlined it. I was distracted by a breeze from an air conditioner and turned around. A television docilely slept like a classroom pet in the corner of the room. Computers wheezed to life in the hallway outside. Female students lined their desks with talking dictionaries, mobile phones, and Xeroxed textbooks. Shapely uniforms caught my eye. I had to consider the obvious: this change was evident all over our classroom. This was certainly a different educational environment than my students’ parents had experienced. I started wondering how all of this development came to pass. And after class, this is what I found out:</p>\n<p>The Ayutthaya Period (1350-1767) – The basic structure of education was divided into two types of schools: 1) The royal institute of instruction (Rajabundit) provided education to the sons of kings and noble families; and 2) Buddhist monks supplied education to commoners in temple schools (wats). The latter focused almost exclusively on religious education for males preparing to enter monkhood (sangha). Students would learn about Buddha’s teachings, as well as sacred languages such as Pali and Sanskrit. Although it was rare, a few wats also provided instruction in art, science, medicine, and astrology. The teaching methods were mostly informal and unstructured. Lecture and recitation were the norm. Students would come whenever they had spare time. Monks would teach individuals whatever topic they felt appropriate that day. There wasn’t a set time schedule or grading procedure, which is perhaps why students are still flippant about punctuality and test scores today. One important educational achievement during the Ayutthaya period was the creation of the first textbook of the Thai language, the Chindamani, which was designed during King Narai’s reign. The first Thai alphabet was developed earlier by King Ramkamhaeng during the Sukhothai period (1238-1378).</p>\n<p>Thai temple schools appealed to those seeking spiritual knowledge rather than social mobility. These schools did not teach any sort of occupational training. People either inherited their trade from family members or acquired skills through apprenticeship. Since women were not allowed to become monks they were rarely educated. Many of the commoner males also lacked education, because they were required instead to provide unpaid corvee labor for the royal family and nobility. At most, they experienced basic primary school at the rudimentary level. Even some of these male slaves were permitted a limited degree of education in the monasteries. Chinese residents were exempt from slave labor. Therefore, they created their own schools for instruction.<br />\nThe English language welded no great significance during the Ayutthaya period. Portuguese was the lingua franca among foreign traders at the time. The Portuguese were the first Europeans in Siam. They were given land to settle on and permitted to marry local women. Therefore, the Portuguese language had been well established in Ayutthaya before other Europeans arrived. In addition, the English lot who came here, to put it kindly, weren’t exactly of the stock that would have made good teachers. They drank profusely, chased after Siamese women, falsified their accounting records, and ran their factory into bankruptcy three times. They sometimes borrowed money from King Narai and struggled to pay off this debt afterward. Two English privateers, Richard Burnaby and Samuel White, bordered on piracy. Other Pommies joined Constance Phaulkon as his personal bodyguards, then attempted to massacre local Muslims. Ultimately, 60 Englishmen were killed in Mergui, and King Narai later declared war on the English East India Company. The English were beaten into retreat. Needless to say, the English language never really kicked off in Siam. It wasn’t until the reign of King Chulalongkorn that English became a desirable language. </p>\n<p>The King Chulalongkorn Period (1868-1910) – The modernization of education in Thailand began slightly more than 100 years after the fall of the Ayutthaya Empire. The Bowring Treaty (1855) opened Siam to foreign trade, allowing England to export rice to India and China. British subjects were allowed to reside in Siam, including Christian missionaries who opened up religious schools. Similar treaties were signed with the United States and other countries shortly afterward. English became the new lingua franca for trade despite the fact that few Siamese could speak it. King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) recognized the need for modern education as well as English skills. All this new trade required a large supply of civil servants, and modern schools could provide the necessary training. Furthermore, King Chulalongkorn believed that standardized education could lead to national unity.<br />\nKing Chulalongkorn opened up a palace school in 1871, which was the first modern style school in Thailand. It had its own buildings, lay teachers, and set classroom schedules. Shortly afterward, he opened an English school to prepare most of his sons and nephews for studies abroad [note: he had 77 children and a large number of grandsons in need of schooling]. During the 1880s, attempts were made to shift Siam’s educational policies. Free government textbooks were designed and printed, standard syllabi were created for coursework, salaries were increased for lay teachers, alms were given to monk teachers, and rewards were given for passing government exams. King Chulalongkorn created the Department of Public Instruction, which was formally recognized as the Ministry of Education by the 1890s. Despite his remarkable efforts to modernize, it would take decades before all these objectives would take effect. </p>\n<p>King Chulalongkorn’s progressive educational policies met with a great deal of political resistance. The sons of noble families traditionally received jobs through family connections. They did not see the need to seek new qualifications. The training of new civil servants, no matter how efficient, interfered with their privileged entitlements. Naturally, the old nobility considered these educational reforms a threat to their social status. However, other important social factors were at hand. The Chinese population was surging. Estimates suggest that there were 230,000 Chinese living in Siam in 1825, but this amount had more than tripled to 792,000 by 1910. The Chinese had already taken on a powerful role in banking, agriculture, canal digging, warehousing, and retail trade. They thrived on the rice trade that the Bowring Treaty allowed, and the Siamese worried about the impact this would have on them. King Chulalongkorn hoped that the new educational policies would help the Chinese to assimilate while encouraging the Siamese to compete with improved skills. Furthermore, there was the usual political tension in the southern provinces. The people on the Southern Peninsula spoke a language that was different than the Siamese of Bangkok, and many were Muslim rather than Buddhist. The new education program stressed Bangkok-Thai as its unifying language. Finally, the rural provinces, where the majority of the Siamese lived, were somewhat detached politically from Bangkok. Rural commoners lacked the desire for modern education and were quite happy with traditional temple schools. Therefore, King Chulalongkorn had to persuade village headmen and monks to allow children to attend school.</p>\n<p>King Chulalongkorn enlisted the help of two sons to overcome these difficulties. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab (1862-1943) overhauled the provincial administrative systems after much effort. He advocated modern education to older officials and encouraged them to send their sons to Bangkok schools. He wanted to train them for the civil servant position required for modernization: postal workers, police officers, accountants, typists, and administrators. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab felt that the traditional methods for education rushed students through school directly into bureaucratic positions. He founded the Suankulap school to provide better skills to the Thai nobility and elite. Boys and girls studied together until age seven, and then they were separated. Males studied Buddhism and topics such as politics; women learned domestic subjects including music and morality.<br />\nHis brother, Prince Wachirayan Warorot (1860-1921) was also a major advocate of education. Prince Wachirayan Warorot headed a reformist sect of Buddhism, called Dhammayutika, and later became the Supreme Patriarch. He was very popular throughout the countryside and impoverished regions. In this respected position he was able to make headway with village monasteries. Prince Wachirayan Warorot was able to introduce standardized syllabi and textbooks, written in Bangkok-Thai, to temple schools.</p>\n<p> Mathematics and science were included into the curricula in addition to Buddhist teachings. At first, only boys were allowed to attend these village schools, but after the turn of the century some girls could also start enrolling. Prince Wachirayan Warorot wanted to integrate the provinces for national unity. He srtuggled to create ties with the provinces, partially due to worries about Chinese technical and economic dominance. He also sought unity by balancing modern Thai education system with the traditional role of monks as teachers. This initial step was a prerequisite before greater educational change could take place in the agriculturally based countryside. </p>\n<p>King Chulalongkorn is highly revered today for his advocacy of modern education. However, he did much more than that. Between 1899-1905, King Chulalongkorn was able to abolish the old system of slavery. This made it more possible for commoners to seek education even at the secondary level. Since young Siamese were not forced into unpaid couvee labor they had more free time to study if they could afford it. He also helped open the first government schools for girls. For the first time girls had some limited access to education, although it was usually the daughters of elite who took advantage of the opportunity. </p>\n<p>Modern education still had a long way to go. Schooling was not compulsory or universal. It took until the 1920s to make four years of primary school mandatory for both boys and girls. Most commoners didn’t have access to anything beyond the rudimentary primary level, and limited resources were Bangkok-centered. Libraries were rare and little stocked. It took a few decades for teacher to be trained and for students to graduate to the upper levels. A government university didn’t exist until around 1916, when one was established under Chualongkorn’s name. However, by the 1920s and 1930s, most provincial centers did have a college of some sorts. A new crop of teachers were graduating to educate the next generation. The foundation for modern education had formed. English instruction was still very limited though. It was mostly learned by the royal family and nobility. Foreign language teachers were nearly non-existent outside of Bangkok. But a scattering of English schools were born that served as mortar to build a modern future.</p>\n<p>The First English Schools (1872-1900) – The English language had a very minor presence prior to King Chulalongkorn’s reign. However, there were some missionary schools in existence (ie. Assumption College). A few Siamese elite also studied with American or British tutors – such as Anna Leonowens, who provided English lessons during the 1860s and inspired bad musicals a century later. The first government schools to formally experiment with English instruction were created near the end of the century. A brief examination of them might shine light on the situation today:</p>\n<p>1) The Palace English School (1872) – In 1870, a school was founded for the education of the royal family and nobility. Instructions were conducted in Thai behind palace walls for the Royal Pages’ Bodyguard Regiment. An Englishman, Francis George Patterson, was hired as an instructor for 150 students, and this evolved into the Palace English school in 1872. Thai students responded to this school in hopes of earning the King’s rewards. However, enrollment dropped when these favors appeared to not be immediately forthcoming. By 1875, only three students were left, and these were all the King’s younger brothers. The English program was shut down. The Palace Thai school continued to exist into the 1880s, which was long enough to print textbooks. Education was provided by monks. The important change was that this school taught students in groups for the first time, rather than in the traditional practice of individual instruction (And, no, I don’t think they presented group reports about Thai fruit or played games such as hangman). </p>\n<p>2) Suan Anand (1879) – Once the Palace English School failed there was a void in English programs. Eventually, an ambitious replacement school was designed to provide Thai-English instruction at the secondary level. An American headmaster, Samuel McFarland, was hired for a five-year contract (at a salary of 6,400 baht). McFarland had been involved with missionary work in Siam since the 1860s. He hired several other Americans as teachers. Scholarships went to many of the male royals and noble elite students, so in the first year more than 100 students enrolled. Courses included English, astronomy, history, physics, geography, and military science. Pupils learned to make speeches and stage debates. Although Suan Anand proved very successful in its early stages the school was rapidly failing. Suan Anand’s curricula and teaching methods were considered too radical and western for the times. It was also located in the undesirable Thonburi side of the river. More importantly, McFarland promoted an open enrollment policy that allowed Chinese and commoners to study. Despite substantial tuition costs, the sons of Chinese merchant families flocked to sign up. The old nobility did not like to study with, or compete against, the industrious Chinese. Nobility started dropping out and enrolling in a competitor school (Suankulap), which was started by Prince Damrong Rajanubhab. In 1883, only seven students graduated out of the starting class, so Suan Anand was closed during same year. Eventually it reopened and changed its name. </p>\n<p>3) Suankulap School (1881) – Thai officials were slow to accept the need to revamp skills for better postal service, engineering projects, accounting practices, and foreign language usage. Old nobility tended to inherit these positions regardless of ability. King Chulalongkorn desired a solid political base that could stand against the old nobility. Therefore, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab developed a new palace school for the Royal Pages’ Bodyguard Regiment that would take upper-class students to the secondary level. These students would become a skilled force of civil servants for the modern age. This school emphasized western methodologies. Buddhist teachings were downplayed to make room for courses like math and geography. English was also added to the curricula and British teachers were hired. One of its English instructors, Baboo Ramsamy Pultar, was hired as a non-native speaker from Calcutta (maybe he worked for cheaper). Over 100 students enrolled in the second year of Suankulap. The school retained an upper class character. A twenty baht tuition fee was charged to keep commoners out. The majority of students were of royal lineage, who were given privileged positions in government service after training. </p>\n<p>4) Suanthalai (1890) – Suanthalai was founded on the remnants of the failed school called Suan Anand. In fact, Samuel McFarland also established the seedlings for this new school, which he stocked with American teachers. McFarland successfully petitioned to have the former school moved away from Thonburi to the Bangkok side of Chao Phraya River. This new institute was relocated to the abandoned buildings of a former girls’ school. Enrollment tripled after the move. In 1891, the Siamese government proclaimed a new English curriculum and standards for exams, which enabled it to have more control over education than before. Students were expected to wait under secondary level to study English. Despite this setback, Suanthalai’s reputation inspired over 200 students to enroll by 1892. Unfortunately, McFarland was dismissed the same year even with this success. Due to complicated budget struggles the right to use the Suanthalai buildings was revoked; taking away with it the large financial endowment that McFarland had built up. A Thai headmaster was placed in charge instead of a westerner. All of the foreign teachers were transferred elsewhere by 1893. McFarland was forced to accept a different job as a textbook designer at a major cut to his salary. He died shortly thereafter.</p>\n<p>5) Ban Phraya Nana (1893) – Ban Phraya Nana evolved out of the corpse of Suanthalai. The new Thai headmaster, Kon Amatyakul, spoke fluent English. He inherited a school with over 200 students, but with major budgetary constraints and a lack of foreign teachers. There isn’t much known about this school. However, some documents do exist. A Thai prince inspected this school while classes were studying grammar, reading, Thai composition, and Thai history. The Prince decided that the students did not study Thai proficiently enough to pass government primary exams. They were poor on grammar, but did well in math. Overall, the Prince felt that the students had nice discipline and that this school was still better than others. Nevertheless, enrollment declined anyway. Students preferred to study English at different Bangkok schools. Many Thai’s turned to missionary institutes, such as Assumption College and the Bangkok Christian Boys High School, for English skills. Each year, only a small group of Ban Phraya Nana students managed to pass the exams. The school was finally closed in 1903.<br />\n6) King’s College (1897) – The King’s College was established to prepare elite students for study abroad with the English language. It was structured like an English boarding school. Teachers earned a salary of 20 baht per month. Large tuition fees were charged to prevent non-elites from enrolling. The government heavily subsidized this school, and King Chulalongkorn gave many scholarships to those attending. [Note: The King’s College in operation today bears no historic connection to its predecessor, except for a shared name and perhaps the low salary]. </p>\n<p>7) Civil Service School (1900) – This school was founded to train lesser nobility for provincial administration. Prince Damrong Rajanubhab wished to integrate lower level officials with the noble elite for the sake of national unity. The school helped coordinate rural officials with Bangkok’s central government. Commoners could gain access to civil servant employment through this school. Over 180 students enrolled in its first year. This educational system was eventually adopted in Ayutthaya, the province where I presently live. Ayutthaya become the provincial center in 1894, which connected to administrative offices in Bangkok. By the turn of the century, parents sent children to Ayutthaya for their education – from as far away as Lopburi, Suphanburi, and Anthong – where they were trained to work in courthouses, post offices, police stations, hospitals, and tax departments. The top students were given scholarships to study at the advanced level in Bangkok. These Bangkok-trained authorities, in turn, where threaded back to region leading to solidarity. This educational structure rippled toward my students decades afterward. </p>\n<p>Farangs: Attack of the Zombies (1950s-Present) – To Thailand’s fortune, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has always placed a high priority on education. He was educated in Switzerland and the United States and was active in advancing modern schools in Thailand. King Bhumibol Adulyadej often toured the provinces, promoted development projects, and personally handed out university degrees. With his support the number of secondary schools increased by 63% between 1958 and 1962, and the production of new teachers lifted 78%. New vocational schools were created in the countryside during the 1960s, and regional universities opened up in Chiang Mai and Khon Kaen. By the end of the 1960s, the Private College Act was passed to permit the foundation of private collages, compulsory education was extended to seven years, and women made significant gains in education. This growth, in part, was also due to a massive injection of foreign aid by the United States. Thailand was the recipient of approximately $507 million in economic assistance and $660 million in military aid between 1951-1967, and this money continued to pour in during the following decade with the Vietnam War. </p>\n<p>The 1970s were a decade of social change in Thailand. Civil servant positions were getting filled, but new types of industries opened up. Factories and tourism became new revenue generators. A new middle class started to form and take voice. The country was becoming more urbanized, too, due to massive migration to larger cities. Urban families were having fewer children, which reduced pressure on primary schools and allowed greater funding at the secondary level. This enabled Thailand to increase its education to a 6-3-3 format: six years of compulsory primary school (pratom suksa), three years of mandatory secondary school (mattayom dton), and three years of high school (mattayom plai). Some institutes have added pre-school and kindergarten (anubahn). Unfortunately, the legal age limit for dropping-out of school is unclear. My resources are contradictory, and it appears that exceptions can be made if the child is poor or living in the countryside. I don’t really know for sure. [Note: I have also been told that there are exceptions to this 6-3-3 rule, especially at private schools]. The Ministry of Education experimented with new English programs during the 70s. It made English a mandatory topic of study. However, there is still debate whether English classes should begin at the primary or secondary level. </p>\n<p>Thailand’s education was no longer reserved for royalty and old nobility. All Thais were learning in schools and expanding global knowledge with media such as television and radio. To put this growth into perspective: slightly more than 1 million Thais finished primary school in 1937, but this rate had increased to 26.7 million in 1980; 13,000 Thais finished secondary school in 1937 and nearly 3.5 million did so in 1980; and only 5,000 Thais had any education at the university level in 1937, which expanded to 868,000 by 1980. The increasing access to education in the 70s, however, also brought about social unrest. Thai students were attending university like never before. Enrollment nearly double from the previous decade, which gave rise to a new political consciousness. In October, 1973, students joined together to launch pro-democracy demonstrations that were nearly a half-million strong. Another protest, on October 6th, 1976, resulted in a large number of protesters getting murdered by supporters of the right-wing military dictatorship at that time. It is almost as if the old nobility were trying to control the new political development of commoners. </p>\n<p>Thailand’s new educational structure reflected the influence of the U.S. system. This should be to no surprise, the enormous presence of U.S. soldiers gave rise to a competitive need to learn English, and U.S. dollars helped finance economic growth. America also sent a significant number Peace Corps volunteers to Thailand as teachers and developers. A few Peace Corps alumni are widely known expatriates today: Joseph Cummings writes for the Lonely Planet guidebooks from his home in Chiang Mai; Steve Van Beek penned a number of books about Thailand’s rivers and artwork; and James Eckhart, a very prolific humor writer, has single handedly doubled the population of Phitsanulok with his offspring. The demand for English was stronger than ever, but there was still a major shortage of native speaking teachers. Despite this U.S. earlier influence, most students still learnt English from older Thai teachers – repeating the exact same grammar mistakes that their elders made. The old teaching methods were like dragging a broken-wheeled wagon across quicksand. The English language just didn’t go anywhere. Unfortunately, this same pattern of mimicry (hear, recite, transliterate) was replicated across the globe.</p>\n<p>Then, in the 1980s, something strange started happening. It all started when a green meteorite struck Asia, and space aliens spilled out to discover that they could feast on human brains. It was something like that at least. English solidified as the language of global trade. All of a sudden, the TEFL industry multiplied and spread. In the same decade, tourism became Thailand’s leading earner of foreign exchange. Five million tourists arrived in 1987 alone, and they weren’t speaking Swahili. Anybody with limited English skills could prosper from the emerging tourist industry. However, there was still a major gap between local demand and those able to supply reasonable English skills. A small trickle of adventurous native speakers started to filter into Thailand. Many came as tourists, missionaries, or soldiers; falling into teaching positions by mistake. Some were snatched alive into the seductive mouths of local Venus fly traps and still haven’t escaped. A few sought out scarce language schools or profited from private lessons. Others figured out how to operate websites. This sordid, drooling, and debauched bunch slapped on the nearest tie and found a job. If they scraped the dirt from beneath their fingernails they could call themselves a professional. However, in a different part of Asia new batches of space-alien-zombies were quickening. </p>\n<p>The Japanese economy thrived during the 1980s. Japan rose like a blossoming sun to enjoy the world’s second largest economy, due to innovative production of electronic and automotive goods. Like Thailand, Japan felt a strong need to find English teachers. But Japan had the one thing that Thailand lacked: money for high salaries. The Japanese Exchange Teacher (JET) program was developed in 1987 to bring foreign teachers into their country. It is perhaps the world’s first comprehensive program to attract English teachers on a large scale. Japanese companies also offered lucrative salaries to encourage foreign teachers to relocate. Before long, profiteers realized that big money could be made with the English language. The EFL industry incubated in Japan throughout the decade. This new being could not be contained for long. Soon enough, Japan ejected this rapidly mutating demon-child from its womb. The purple-headed infant wiggled and squirmed like wet sushi on the ground. Eventually, somebody named it “Teaching English as Foreign Language”, but this name was never agreed upon by both parents. They still argue about it today. The little sprat grew so rapidly that nobody knew exactly how to take care of it. </p>\n<p>The EFL industry ignited like brushfire in the 1990s. The four Asian tigers (Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea) were hungry for Japan’s success. All of them made pheromone-beckoning attempts to draw English teachers to their countries. South Korea was the slowest to flinch. It had declared all private language schools (hogwons) illegal between 1981-1989, ultimately driving up the price. Korea changed this education policy in fear of the inflating power of their age old enemy across the pond. By the mid-1990s, South Korea was the hot spot for English teachers. South Korea started to offer competitive salaries and paid housing to lure the fish onto the hook. Before long, former Communist countries threw their gloves into the economic ring. This was how I got sucked in. My first teaching job was at a teacher training college in Hungary in 1997, which I found by word-of-mouth. The European Union and Euro Dollars weren’t even zygotes yet, and border crossing was still a test in endurance. Soon I tired of my $250 monthly salary and flew to South Korea to cash in on experience. It was too bad for me that the Asian financial crisis of 1997 had arrived first, but that is another story. </p>\n<p>The EFL industry, as we know it, didn’t really snap in Thailand until around 1998-2003. It was a late bloomer. Thailand lagged behind other Asian countries in terms of educational infrastructure. Low teacher salaries also slowed the growth of English programs that could provide native speakers. Therefore, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej took an active interest in improving higher education. He laid some of the foundation for the EFL industry’s local growth. Every Thai teacher training college was renamed as a Rajabhat Institute in 1992. The International Studies Center, where I presently teach, was established in 1995 with the goal of English-only instruction. Likewise, English programs were encouraged at the Rajabhat/university level across Thailand. The Rajabhat Institutes Act (1996) approved these institutes for regional development, codified legal standards, set regulations for distributing degrees, and granted Rajabhat schools the equivalent status of universities. The number of women seeking advanced education surpassed the total of men in the 1990s. These females were more likely to study English at Rajabhat schools. Demand for English increased, so sometimes budget money was used to hire foreign teachers. Finally, Thailand’s economy began to recover from the Asian financial crisis of 1997. The low cost of living attracted many foreign visitors, who would later join the pool of teachers – including myself. The tourism industry boomed so rapidly that 10 million tourists came to Thailand in 2002. It is also to my belief that a wave of teachers came to Thailand after the financial crisis, since they no longer trusted the Korean private schools that had cheated them. </p>\n<p>Behind the scene, during the 1990s, important innovations permanently altered the face of the EFL industry. One of them was the proliferation of certificate producing agencies. The RSA was the only recognized teacher certificate available in the 80s, which was taken over by Cambridge and redesigned as CELTA in 1996. In Thailand, Text-and-Talk started as a language school in 1991 before issuing its Ministry of Education endorsed teaching certificates. TEFL International started handing out certificates like travel coupons back in 1998. Now, local certification agencies have splintered into so many directions that I can’t even keep track anymore. Many of these certificate agencies now provide recruitment services. They can place program graduates directly into language schools, sometimes earning a fee or a kickback for their effort. In the last decade there has been a plethora of new private language schools and recruitment agencies across Thailand. One can practically throw a paper airplane made out of a resume and find a teaching job. That person may not be able to teach and that school may be dodgy as a Nigerian lottery, but the jobs are here for almost anybody that wants one. Newbies need not fear, the good jobs have not all been taken and the bandwagon is still rolling along. </p>\n<p>The Internet is perhaps the greatest catalyst of all behind the emerging EFL industry. Potential teachers can easily find jobs on-line, schools may post advertisements, and expatriates can exchange tips and advice (or just drive each other crazy with trolling). EFL websites are a burgeoning field yielding money-making harvests. However, these tools are also in an infancy stage. Teaching websites are barely one decade old, and nobody alive knows what direction they will take in the future. The first major website for teaching jobs (www.eslcafe.com) kicked off in 1995. It was American based and operated by a Yankee with a fetish for berets. Thailand’s first website for teachers (www.ajarn.com) rolled off the screen in 1998 when a couple of Brits ran out of beer and needed something better to do. English teachers can also find numerous websites and chat boards for Taiwan, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, Korea, and Japan. If you look real hard, I am sure you can find teaching websites for Kyrgyzstan and the Republic of Tuva, too. And if not, these might be good places to relocate to in advance for the next boom in the industry.</p>\n<p>My point of this entire article is this: Thailand’s education system did not come out of nowhere. It was a long and difficult battle. It was a battle by kings to modernize education. It was a battle by elite nobles to preserve privileges. It was a battle by western teachers to wield influence. It was a battle by Siamese official to retain control over western infiltration. It was a battle between the Siamese and Chinese residents to obtain economic advantage. It was a battle for commoners to lift themselves higher. It was a battle for girls to gain access to even the most basic education. It was a battle by Bangkok to bring provinces into their grasp. It was a battle between traditional temple schools and new government programs. It was a battle by university students to share political voice. It was a battle by expatriates to get accepted within this curious nation. Finally, it was a battle just to acquire the luxury of the English language. And we teachers need to be thankful, because we are all a part of that struggle.<br />\n____________________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>…. Back to School – The blue ink was drying in the center of the blackboard. I let my students gaze at the word to feel its meaning. “Change”, they had already written a paper about it. They wrote one page about three things that they want to change: a change in themselves, a change about Thailand, and a change of opinion. Now, I wanted them to appreciate the changes that made their education possible. Many of them were the first in their family to go to college. They have no predecessors to refer to about proper university behavior. Most of their parent’s lacked the formal training to help them with studies. Thailand still suffers from an educational lag between generations. I wanted my students to appreciate this opportunity to learn. Their parents and grandparents did not share the same luxuries. Therefore, I asked each student to interview an older family member about the past. I provided them with a list of 15 question. The responses gathered should illustrate my above article with a more human voice. This is what my students came up with:</p>\n<p>1) My 60 year old aunt finished up to grade 7, which was the highest level for women at the time (1957). She studied math, history, hygiene, and decorum. Since my aunt was a Chinese woman, she was also expected to learn how to sew dresses, cut hair, and cook in school. Her school didn’t have any English programs. My grandmother had no education, because women were expected to concentrate on being a housewife and their household duties. Most building were made of wood, but some walls had bricks. There were seven teachers for 150-200 students. Students bought books at the higher level but borrowed them at the lower level, since they were handed down to new students each year. The government donated pencils and notebooks. The brown notebook had a picture of the king on its cover. The students wore standard uniforms, and both boys and girls were required to have short hair. Naughty students were beat with a stick on their legs, hands, and bottom. Other punishment methods included standing on one foot, stretching out both arms, and holding a ruler in your mouth for 30-60 minutes. Her sister was the first person in her family to attend university, which was at Ramkhamhaeng – the first open university to accept commoners. The earlier teaching methods were recitation, reading, and memorization. She thinks that modern methods should allow students to develop opinions, create ideas, and actually produce something by doing it. </p>\n<p>2) My father went to government high school. He studied math, social studies, and the Thai language. His school had a female English teacher who was Thai. His uniform was brown shorts and a short-sleeved white shirt, which was a hand-me-down from his older brother. The books were made with bad paper, so they kept falling about. There were no air conditioners, overhead projectors, or computers. The classroom only had wooden furniture, a blackboard, and some chalk. Boys studied at a higher level than girls, since they were expected to head a family. He was punished with a stick for not doing his homework, so he was very afraid of the teachers. He was the first person in his family to attend university. He studied management at Kasetsart University. Thai education moved slowly, so textbooks were usually outdated. Now, he is impressed by the Thailand’s new libraries and the Internet. In his opinion, students should learn to love learning. They should enjoy the process of understanding.</p>\n<p>3) My mother studied at a temple primary school. Her family was poor so she could wear old dresses instead of an uniform. However, she begged to wear an uniform like other girls and disapproves of the short skirts worn by female students today. She says that in the past there were no talking dictionaries, which was better since students learnt spelling quicker if they look it up in a book. People thought that the education of boys was more important, since girls will only become housewives and raise children. Teachers hit students for punishment. She didn’t study English in school, but her sister did at higher levels (from a Thai teacher). Her sister was the first person in her family to attend university. Her sister worked hard at a tiring part time job to pay tuition fees. In the past you could not study if you didn’t have money, but now the government distributes scholarships or offers loans. She believes that the most important thing is not education, but developing your mind. Education only develops brains, but a developed mind makes somebody less selfish and kind.</p>\n<p>4) My grandfather studied up to the secondary level. When he was young people studied in the temple. His wat had five teachers and there were seven students per class. Students learned spelling, reading, math, and the Thai language. There were no English teachers because there were no English classes. His two textbooks were called “Jindamanee” and Patomkorka”. He didn’t wear an uniform because he was poor. He wore only shorts and many boys didn’t wear shirts to school. Hungry boys with no money could get lunch from the school’s monks, but girls couldn’t since they weren’t allowed to interact in the same way. Students were punished by rod. When they talked too much or failed to do homework they were hit on the leg in front of class. His brother was the first person to attend university, and he majored in education because he wanted to become a teacher. The family was so proud to have an university graduate in the family. He wants to be a young student again, so that he can learn about computers, high technology, and English. He thinks that Thai schools should bring back the rod for punishment. </p>\n<p>5) My mother studied until four years of primary school. She studied at a two-story temple school that was made of wood. Monks were the only teachers. Students went home for lunch, because there was no canteen. Compulsory education lasted only four years. The school didn’t have a blackboard or any paper. Students had a slate that they wrote upon with a type of nail-rock instead of pencils. Towels were used instead of erasers, and the textbook was called “Manee-Manee”. Boys wore brown shorts and a white shirt. Girls wore a blue skirt and a white shirt. Neither of them wore shoes or socks. They went barefoot to school. Boys studied in temples with monks and went to higher levels of school. Girls studied separately and finished after four years of primary school. She studied math and the Thai language. There weren’t any English teachers at all. His daughter [my student] is the first in her family to attend college. She feels that modern students are lucky because they have the Internet and libraries, plus girls can study at the same level as boys. She is proud of me and remembers driving me to the Rajabhat on her first day. She thinks that students should feel pride about going to a Rajabhat. </p>\n<p>6) My father studied in a temple primary school, where he also lived as a novice monk. He had to take care of himself, which made him independent and brave. The school didn’t have any technology other than a blackboard and chalk. He learned by studying nature. He could not buy books since he was poor, so this material was handed down from previous students. His uniform was brown shorts, a white shirt, and slippers without socks. Sons learned sports and girls learned cooking. Children didn’t study seriously because they had to work in rice fields and raise animals. The teachers used a cane to hit students on the butt and hands. Sometimes students were punished by making them clean something dirty instead. He studied English during the first year of secondary school from a Thai teacher, however few of his classmates practiced English because they couldn’t understand how it was important for their lives. He was the first person in his family to study at university. He skipped classes often and was lazy, something he regrets today. He is amazed about all the modern teaching tools: the Internet, computers, e-mail, telephones, video players, and VCDs. You had to trust your teacher’s knowledge and the contents of a book, but now you can check information out in other ways. He thinks that universities should teach less general subjects and have more specific topics. He feels that all college education is good. Students shouldn’t feel discouraged for attending a Rajabhat instead of an university with higher status.</p>\n<p>7) My father studied at a temple primary school until level four. His family didn’t have any money, so he stayed inside his rural village for education. The old wooden school building had a fan, broken furniture, and only old books. Students used charcoal instead of pencils. At first there wasn’t any uniform, but in the later years he wore the usual brown shorts and white shirt. He said that girls were more determined learners then. Boy played football, fought with friends, and failed to do homework. For punishment students were hit by a cane, forced to stand on one leg, and made to clean toilets. He feels that teachers communicate better with students than in the past. The school didn’t have any type of English program. I am [my student] the first person in his family to attend college. He is very happy to send me to here. Rajabhat students have the power to find good jobs, so they shouldn’t feel bad about the reputation that they can’t qualify for university. </p>\n<p>8) My grandmother never went to a government school. She studied at Catholic missionary school 70 years ago instead. Her family was too poor for formal education. They didn’t wear an uniform to church, and their only school supplies included a pencil, a notebook, and the Bible. Girls learned about cooking while boys learned to catch fish with nets. Both learned about the Bible and how to pray. The school had a missionary from Vietnam who taught English. Students were beat by teachers and forced to stand on one leg. Her sister was the first person in her family to attend university. She feels that students should practice more active learning, and that more scholarships should be given to children that don’t have money to learn. She is very proud that six of her students went to college and four became involved with clergy. </p>\n<p>9) My father studied until primary school. All the male student in primary school wore the same brown shorts and white shirts. Girls wore a white shirt and a blue skirt. They didn’t wear school-specific uniforms like today. The classroom had a blackboard, chalk, textbooks, and a special corner with comic books. There was a English program with both Thai teachers and a foreigner from Canada. The girls were better at English than the boys who preferred math. Overall, girls weren’t taken as seriously as students although they worked harder and did more homework. Some teachers hit bad children by hand. I am [My student] are the first person in my family to attend college. He feels that education is more wide open for students today. Students can choose subjects that they are interested in, and everybody has a chance to attend school. Scholarships are now offered at universities. Students should act in accordance with university rules and not rebel too much, and beating students should be brought back to install better discipline. The teaching style is more student-centered than ever before, but should be designed more like international schools. He wants to go back to school again to study with all the modern equipment. </p>\n<p>10) My neighbor earned a MA degree from a government university in Bangkok. He studied in a big class with 40 other students. The boys studied math, music, Thai history, Thai language, and English. All the English teachers were Thai. Both genders studied together in primary school, but secondary school was only for boys. Students carried around mobile blackboards that they wrote on with chalk. The teaching methods involved lengthy talks by a teacher. Students were never asked questions or allowed to participate. In primary school he was a very bad student. He missed school often to play with friends and was very lazy. Students were beat everyday with a cane. He was hit on the palm of his hand for not doing homework and hit again at home by his parents for getting in trouble. </p>\n<p>He was born to a very poor family during World War Two. Poverty in Bangkok was very high then, but due to a post-war baby boom his family had 13 children. His older sister was the first person in his family to attend college. He claims that he never took education seriously until high school. English was a major reason for this change. His first contact with a native speaker was a U.S. Army major who lived next door. He learned English through songs on the radio. His high school also had a few books such as Aesop’s fables. His first western teacher was a Peace Corps member who taught English at university graduate school. The local Rajabhat schools began as teacher training schools for civil servants and were started by our king. The old schools didn’t have libraries, so teachers were the only source of information. Modern schools do more group work than ever before. He believes that today’s students must apply new skills to improve society. They need to learn by doing. Most of all they need to learn to produce. Students must become producers rather than consumers. Some Thai students still think like slaves. They are still too dependent on foreigners. Their only plans after graduation is to work for a western or Japanese company at a local factory. They need to move beyond the past. They need to be more creative and design their own future. </p>\n<p>Special thanks to:<br />\nWyatt, David. Studies in Thai History. Chiang Mai: Silkworm Books, 1999.<br />\nWyatt, David.

But, instead of resting peaceful and proper-like next to her school regulation mini-skirt, her small hand started to rapidly flutter and poke around. This action took place in the middle of a university final exam. As usual during these tests, my mind was preoccupied with more pressing topics such as lunch, grade deadlines, and sordid events from the night before. However, this time something seemed out of place. It looked like she was strumming a guitar, and tucked deep in the vortex of my mind is the reptilian idea that nobody plays instruments during a test. And I couldn’t hear any Thai music coming out. I casually stood up as if to erase a few notes off the whiteboard, but it was only a decoy. I was really just trying to get a better view. A seven-inch object protruded from its hiding place in her lap; slightly secluded by the spread of her skirt. On closer look I could see a mobile phone peeking out. She was a cheater. She was caught with her SIM card down. </p>\n<p>To be honest, I didn’t realize exactly how she was cheating at the time (2002). I had yet to own or operate a cell phone. They were dead objects like the leftover bones on chicken legs. I had no use for them. However, when the vibrating tone came wafting up from her lap it suggested that she wasn’t exactly in the process of a phone call. I leaped toward this student like a cat. “Ah ha! I caught you cheating,” I pronounced victoriously. To my surprise, she confessed without a trace of shame. “But ahh-jannn…”, she explained, “I didn’t study for your test because I was busy drinking last night at the Cowboy Club”. I was befuddled by her candid response. ‘Well, excuse me for interrupting your cheating session,’ I thought to myself, ‘just call the office when you’re ready to turn in your exam’. Actually, the role of responsible teacher kicked in and I snapped her mobile phone away. She probably then tried to conjure up whatever karma she had gathered from the previous night to randomly guess for the rest of her test. Meanwhile, I picked and prodded at her cell phone trying to figure out how these gadgets worked. </p>\n<p>It is a problem when students are more technologically advanced than you. They can figure out ways to outsmart teachers on tests. In this incident, one of the smarter students text messaged the answers to her from the hallway. However, I often switch the order of questions on my exams so, unfortunately for them, the answers didn’t match. The student failed the exam anyway. I have since halted the use of multiple choice tests altogether. They might be easier to grade, but they make it too tempting for students to cheat. An even more primitive deception method is to write the answers on the back of an eraser, which is passed from one student to another. Students can quickly smear the answers if the teacher asks to see it. I used to wonder why so many Thai students forgot to bring their rubbers (British English) to class. I have managed to snatch dozens of these answer-laden erasers during my time. There are also an endless variety of cheat sheets and secretively scribbled answers (on desks, dress ties, thumbnails, and the sides of fingers). The odd thing is that Thai students are so flippant about cheating that they feel no loss of face when blatantly caught. Sometimes students even ask for their erasers back. The invention of new technology only allows more efficient ways for cheating; rather than just learning English by the slower form of trial and error.</p>\n<p>The more recent trend is to use electronic dictionaries for deception. Thai students usually call this new tool, much to my amusement, a “Talking Dick” (as pronounced in local Thai-glish). Thai students claim that they need this device to define words in test questions or to help them write examination essays. Again I fell for this trick for a while. The tip off was when students kept making the same grammatical mistakes on particular essay sentences. Entire transitional phrases were identical in some cosmic coincidence. I should have known. Any time that something is passed among Thai students during a test cheating is possibly involved. It didn’t take long before I realized that a Talking Dick could be programmed. Some could even spit out saved files if politely coaxed. Before long I banned Talking Dicks in my classroom. They are a distraction to proper learning. Students rebelled in outrage. “How can we get good grades if you don’t let us exercise our Talking Dicks?” they inquired. We soon reached a compromise: They could feed data to their Talking Dicks during lectures, but other students were not allowed to touch them. They had to keep their Talking Dicks to themselves and leave them in their pockets during test time. But cheating still persisted using other types of technology. Students next turned to the granddaddy tool of them all: the Internet. </p>\n<p>The Internet is applauded as one of the great advances in modern education. Hogwash! Check out the book marks on university computers sometime. Click on the history icon to see the websites that students have been actually visiting. Most likely you will see links to chat rooms, gossip columns, porn sites, pirated software, and computer games. However, student taste in websites is not my concern. What matters to me is how students have adopted this high technology for their educational needs. How does the Internet help them to write essays? How does this tool contribute to the exchange of information? What is the end result of the much hyped Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in terms of writing? I can sum it up in three words: Cut and Paste. It is so obvious when Thai students cheat with this method. All of a sudden essay paragraphs show up with advanced vocabulary and highly complex sentences. The correct use of dashes, brackets, and semicolons is a dead giveaway. Maybe the student tries to disguise this plagiarism with sharp photographs – copied from random, non-cited, websites. It is all about downloaded presentation rather than uploaded research. Copying via Internet has become such a standard practice among Thai students that there is absolutely zero loss of face when doing it. </p>\n<p>It is easy to catch a student who is guilty of a cut and paste job. Simply, ask them to discuss the paper verbally after class. If they are capable of handing in a flawless article, they should certainly be able to speak about it in person. Sadly, few students even bother to read what they have plagiarized. Copying gets pretty bad at times. Students have given my own classroom handouts to other teachers; claiming to have produced them by themselves. Copying from a teacher is very pathetic, but it gets even worse. I have seen one perfectly flawless essay turned in without a single mistake – the only problem was that it was written entirely in the German language (hey, the alphabet looks almost the same as the English one). In result of this rampant cheating, I have had to adjust my teaching methods concerning English writing. </p>\n<p>I now require all assignments to be done exclusively in class. I don’t want to waste my time grading false essays or copied homework assignments. I prefer to avoid piddling away precious time tracking down the original sources of plagiarized papers. Students must now write only in my presence, like a protective babysitter, so that they at least ask questions during the writing process. This way I can trust that they are practicing real English. I can also provide them with direct feedback. Furthermore, all writing topics now emphasize self-exploration. Essays focus on active local issues and hands-on community projects. Students write about factors that have direct impact on their lives. If they plagiarize, it will at least involve translations of Thai literature. Students copy less, however, when the information comes from within. Of course, the concept of outside research is thrown out the window, but at least I know that their essays come from the heart. And, to be honest, this compromise has led to some of their best papers yet. </p>\n<p>On one level copying bothers me because it insults my integrity as a teacher. I also feel that cheating on tests dishonors our profession. However, this dishonesty mostly disturbs me because students are selling themselves short. Studying should be about wisdom, personal growth, and self-respect. By cheating, students diminish their own education rather than lift themselves to a higher level of knowledge. They reinforce their weaknesses instead of becoming stronger persons. Instead of creating something fresh and original, they recycle old material and sign their names. They are selling out and not getting their money’s worth of tuition fees. Think about it: would students buy a movie ticket and leave immediately after the previews? Would they pay for an expensive dinner only to watch television without eating? Would they spend hard-earned cash on nice clothing only to exchange it for counterfeit knock offs? Therefore, I wonder, why do students squander tuition fees by not seizing every opportunity to learn in class? Students cheat out of laziness or the desire for better grades, but so much energy is invested in cheating that they might as well just do the work. They use all these helpful tools (mobile phones, electronic dictionaries, and the Internet) for the wrong purpose. It is like digging a hole with a pitchfork. At the end of the day they are only shortchanging themselves and going home empty handed. </p>\n<p>There is much debate about how to punish Thai students for cheating. Students are almost never suspended for plagiarism, and many government schools advocate policies that forbid failing students. The idea is that punishment and bad grades cause a loss of face. Why ruin a student’s chance of graduating when they are not likely find anything above a low-wage factory job afterward? Why saddle a student with a bad grade when karma will punish them instead? In result, students are often bumped forward regardless of how poorly they behave or attend class. Dishonesty and bad ethics are not taken as seriously as the damage caused by being reprimanded in public for their actions. Foreign teachers often argue that the tolerance of cheating is not beneficial in the long run. Personally speaking, I am not hell-bent on failing students, so I tend to adapt to whatever policy a school advocates. Thailand’s Department of Education will make policy decisions without my input as a foreign teacher, and I will get paid the same government salary regardless. Nevertheless, the bureaucratic response to cheating leads to an even more serious question: What ethical standard does Thailand want for its future citizens? These students might one day find jobs as police officers, politicians, bus drivers, business administrators, teachers, and tax officials. The future is in their lap. </p>','','2006-05-31 19:54:24',1,'2006-05-31 19:54:24','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(197,11,'Eating limes in Disneyland','eating-limes-in-disneyland','An hilarious look at the differences between British and American English.','Each day our students are bombarded with English from all directions.

I played a tiny trick on readers last month. It was more of an inside joke, really. But, in April’s article (“Klong Takian”) I conducted an experiment in the English language. As a writing challenge to myself, I penned the piece using British English. It wasn’t easy. Microserf® automatically switched my spelling into the American version, reverting me back to my American status against my will. I had to reinsert “Y” into “tyre”, “U” into “colour”, and “S” into “civilisation”. Even then, each British spelling was marked as a mistake with a red squiggly line. My British punctuation, in turn, was covered with hundreds of green squiggles showing writing errors. There were so many red and green ticks between the two that it made me sentimental for Christmas. It must be disheartening for British citizens to learn that, according to Bill Gates, they have been getting it wrong all these years. </p>\n<p>I wondered if this was the reason why an English expatriate sold me his computer so cheaply (or maybe it was just the broken C drive). But, then again, the bloke was actually Welch – and I really don’t want to get into how loony their spelling is. With effort I could fool the software into words like “aeroplane” and “centre”. But, a sort of paranoia later crept in. I imagined my computer altering words like “fish, chips, and cider” into “hamburgers, fries, and coke”. While I slept at night I dreamt that my Stone Roses CD was converted into Brittney Spears. Which led to greater problems in the morning. I debated how far I should take my experiment with British-ness. Should I slip on trousers before taking a petro-quaffing jitney full of blokes? Should I take the lift to the loo in my flat or wait in queue beside the postbox? And how exactly do I number the floors anyway? Do I start counting with the ground floor or the first floor? Or is the second floor really the first? </p>\n<p>Well, by now, readers may be asking questions of their own; like what does this article have to do with teaching? Therefore, I’ll fast forward to my actual point. Each day our students are bombarded with English from all directions. The modern EFL student interacts with native speakers from across the globe. British teachers provide one version of English, American lecturers contradict this version, Canadians waver mysteriously between the two, and the Australians and Scottish – well – let’s just be nice and say that they are in a league of their own. The average Thai student is told by one source that one style is correct. In the next class they hear the opposite view. Then learners are expected to distinguish between the two. We offer students the burden of Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde, then ask them to sort out this schizophrenic ride. </p>\n<p>One question that needs to be asked is: How are students retaining language when the stimulus is full of contradictions. Since life is short, I’ll spare you the worry and tell you myself. What is happening is what I call “linguistic mashing”. Lime juice and cabbage are getting stirred in together with vegemite and generic ketchup. Lately, I have spotted this dish often in student writing. My scurvy-fearing pupils pull information from multiple sources (or copy it from various websites). They will then piece together papers with linguistic acrobatics. Students throw American double quotation marks in with British dates (for example: The randy bobby said, “Queen Elizabeth shall shake her fanny dancing on her 80th birthday – 21 April 2006”.) They mix British/American English together freely (‘The nappy wearing wino, sleeping in the subway, covered himself with canned biscuits”). Although native speakers cling to their style with pride, globally it is evolving into forms of its own. And what ultimately has to be decided is if this is correct.</p>\n<p>While reading student papers, I seriously ponder if I should cross out a word like ‘waistcoat’ and pencil in “vest” above. This is especially problematic as I develop stronger relationships with British expatriates and take on components of their language. I catch myself ordering ‘starters’ at restaurants and looking for ‘rubbish bins’ for my empty ‘tins’ of baked beans. Non-American linguistics are slowly being absorbed into my own writing style (Damn, them Pommies). Therefore, I am reluctant to condemn students for the same practice. If a student writes: “The warder’s mouldy cheese was gently placed inside his pajamas”, how then should this spelling be properly edited? What side should I take? Should teachers allow different styles to intermix? Should British and American English remain segregated? </p>\n<p>This is no easy question. There are fundamental differences in communication styles. A statement like: ‘A pack of fags were inside Ken Keniff’s suspenders’ has radically different interpretations depending on if the reader is American or English. If I said something like: “Marmite’s knob didn’t work properly without glancing at the magazine” the British might be provoked to chuckles, while Americans would visualize him standing in front of a doorway with a home repair manual in his hand. If I write: Dirty Dog lamented, ‘Shall I show grandma my gums and rubbers?’, then the Yanks would picture him as a demented pervert quietly thinking alone in the privacy of a bar. Meanwhile, Limeys would think he was shouting out loud about school supplies like a raging lunatic. Thai students would bypass these complexities altogether to meditate about food or to consider if any of these statements had anything to do with their final grade. There are no clear definitions for native speakers. There are only arbitrary rules. For Thai students, it is only a question of cut and paste before lunch. </p>\n<p>Many professional teachers declare that either style can be correct as long as the student uses one of them consistently. Other teachers claim that American English should be employed for American teachers, while British English shall be embraced for British lecturers. These viewpoints are too simplistic for the global classroom of modern times. Is it really fair to expect EFL students to distinguish multiple styles of English when the majority of native speakers only bother learning one? A few industry professionals (nerdy, sentence-tree tweaking, tossers) are probably ready to brawl with that last statement, but it deserves closer attention, eh?</p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, few Americans have proper understanding of British English. Differences in spelling, grammar, and word choice are not taught in our public high schools. We learn British English from the Monty Python and Mr. Bean television series – and the latter only mumbles incoherent sounds (sort of like the Scottish). I knew nothing about British spelling or punctuation until I was already teaching at a college in Europe. I seriously doubt that even a fraction of Americans could understand something like British weights and measures. If somebody told me that Louis Minson’s baby weighs six stones, I would think, ‘Is that in pebbles or boulders?”. Confused Americans still believe that the British calendar operates on twelve-day months, because somebody can be born on 30/01/06. The average American would riot if asked to learn British English. They would dump perfectly good tea in the Boston harbour once again. They would enrage with nationalistic pride. I am not exaggerating. When Jimmy Carter tried to install the metric system in the 1970s he was practically impeached. My junior high school teacher threw the metric textbook out the classroom window as a public display of patriotism – and he was the one teaching math. </p>\n<p>Likewise, when British citizens attempt to speak like an American it usually sounds like they are auditioning for a Robert DeNiro film – and these are the more curious ones. The more pathetic remind me of an overly-polite Hugh Grant on a bad hair day: “Excuse me, sir, may I be so bold to ask you to properly F____ off?”. I imagine that a few British speakers resent it when Bill Gate’s alters their spelling (consider it a belated tea tax). Some might take offense when classic British sitcoms are remade to sound more American. And I hesitate to mention that certain ‘word’ which crawls up a British spine like a flesh-eating maggot. What the Hell, I might as well come out and say it: “SOCCER! SOCCER! SOCCER!”. Was George Best a good SOCCER player? Is Liverpool a decent SOCCER team? Why don’t British SOCCER players wear cool shoulder pads like they do in real sports like American FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!!</p>\n<p>OK…OK…OK…. I am only taking the piss (and you sepos out there can stop panicking, because I am not talking about urine samples for drug tests). Can we just have a spot of tea and get along? I’d put a kettle on, if the Brits weren’t all drinking coffee and eating curry these days. In a better world English teachers could phone the Grammarians to save us. You know who I am talking about. The golden elite who make up all our grammar laws while in high-rise skyscrapers above. These are the people who declared it improper to start a sentence with conjunction or to end one with a preposition. But, what do they know? They haven’t even invented a common phonic alphabet for us to refer to. The Grammarians are busy right now arguing about hyphens vs. parenthesis – and if it weren’t for them the semi-colon would have gone extinct (the subjunctive phrase might even be next in line). The Grammarian elite are painfully silent in the English/American debate. They are too busy diagramming compound sentences or something. I guess we have to work it out alone.</p>\n<p>There is a simple solution: We could place Bangkok Phil and Dave Sperling into a single boxing ring. They could lace up gloves and fight it out. If Phil wins then the world would have to speak British for a period of five years. If Dave knocks Phil out then American English would become the lingua franca. As a special bonus: the winner is entitled to pick the phonic alphabet of his choice. If the two or them get real crazy and start biting off ears or chewing up berets than both would get disqualified. Then the world must start speaking like Kiwis by default. It is crucial that this problem get solved NOW. Phil and Dave must rumble for the sake of the children. The future of English depends on it. Wouldn’t you readers, too, be willing to take a blow for English?<br />\nOh yeah, the children, I sort of forgot about the children. My students mash different English styles together. If truth be told, so do native speakers. But, what are we going to do about it? Probably nothing. The assumption is that British English is correct for the British, that American is appropriate for the Americans, and that Canadians are free agents who can do whatever they want – though Bill Gates still makes them write like an American, too. All of this is a double standard. If these English styles are correct for each culture, then why is the same luxury not offered to Asians? There are common language patterns across this region, which are clearly understood by the people using them. Maybe it is a global right to speak English with limited verb tenses, the lack of articles, and nouns without plurals. Nothing is permanent; even language evolves. Why shouldn’t Asians have a stake in an English of their own? And why should Asian students be doing all the work? Couldn’t wealthy nations pay a greater share of the tab? Native speakers could at least compromise by creating a new type of spelling that makes practical sense. Would native speakers be willing to learn it if somebody did? I, for one, am willing contribute my share. I am getting British English surgically implanted tomorrow. I’ll reserve a place for you next in queue. </p>','','2006-04-30 19:59:11',1,'2006-04-30 19:59:11','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(198,11,'Unseen Thailand','unseen-thailand','Travels on Klong Takian','Why spend a Saturday afternoon learning to Kayak on a canal that few people have ever heard of before?

Twice I tried to penetrate the canal to no avail. It felt like quitting in defeat before unhooking a precious bra strap.','<p>The kayak floated aimlessly like a tired fish hooked on a string. Two friends steadied the long and slender vehicle as I climbed in. This first mounting was a rite of passage. It marked the transition from the end of a long semester to the beginning of summer holiday. Testing was done and grades almost ready to turn in. My time was free for proper travelling. Nevertheless, this act of leisure bore a significance beyond scholastic endeavours. I was also about to explore Ayutthaya waterways for the first time without motors or petro. It was a loss of innocence, so to speak. After nearly 175 rides via long-tail boat, I decided to get a little more intimate. I wanted my body to have direct contact with the water. Besides, how could something not be fun when it involves me, two paddles, and two mates? Let me introduce them to you as Udall Coates and Joost Jacobsz.</p>\n<p>The three of us borrowed this kayak from a former landlady at a riverside flat where I used to live. She bought it for use during the great flood of 2001. My gaff on stilts was so saturated that I needed to paddle to work by boat (at least from my staircase to the main road). The neighborhood children would gather and laugh as I tried to manoeuvre with wooden paddles on route to class. There is something about a farang paddling a boat that is very funny for a Thai audience. But I got better at the skill with practice. At one point I even held a yard sale. Since the Chao Phraya River had swallowed my yard, I shuffled potential buyers onto a boat and paddled them to sales – like a strategic merchant from Venice (of the East). If they didn’t buy anything, I could always make them wade back to shore, right? I made a right amount of quid at this yard sale, I did. One of these passengers, Joost, who I met for the first time that day, later joined me for this latest Kayaking adventure. Our new eco-tour destination was an obscure local canal called Klong Takian.</p>\n<p>Why spend a Saturday afternoon learning to Kayak on a canal that few people have ever heard of before? Well, it is just sort of there. It was one of the few local canals that I hadn’t explored yet. Long-tail boats can’t navigate down its thin curves. They always break to a halt in frustration. Twice I tried to penetrate the canal to no avail. It felt like quitting in defeat before unhooking a precious bra strap. I had to do Klong Takian. That was all there was to it. I originally planned to have a go alone. Mind you, I doubted that anyone would be willing to join me. This isn’t passive tourism; it takes a lot of work to see the place. Klong Takian doesn’t harbour any major sites. It’s just a standard countryside fishing canal. But I wanted to see where it goes. During a typical Friday night at Ong’s pub, I babbled incoherently to Joost and Udall about my desire for more extreme forms of eco-tourism. I displayed old maps showing Klong Takian, which were grossly inaccurate in scale and contradictory in direction. Tributaries multiplied or vanished depending on who was drawing. Some maps solved cartography problems simply by ignoring this canal altogether. </p>\n<p>It was a flawed plan for an expedition, because we really had no clue about what we would see or the obstacles we would encounter along way. But to my surprise, Joost, the engineer immediately volunteered. He even suggested that we depart, hangovers intact, early the next afternoon. I was glad that he anteed up. I have a bad habit of falling off boats or getting hit in the face with random debris. It is healthy to have skilled engineer on the boat, especially one who knows first aid. By the end of the evening, a second engineer had committed to the journey, Udall, who was a professional rower. He knew all the technical nautical terms and even had his own boat, albeit one too large for our purpose. Joost and I coaxed him into the ride after a few beers and some discourse on local history. I promised to show him where the British once had a factory (which they ran into bankruptcy several times). Things were looking up for this excursion. At this rate, all I would need to contribute was opening beer cans and taking photographs. </p>\n<p>By early afternoon I had mounted the kayak. And it felt good. Udall took the bow and Joost sat in the stern. As I looked westward, from the middle, I imagined the most beautiful place in the world – the unseen location where you will go next. Before long the three of us were floating on the Chao Phraya River. It took a while to get the hang of steering. Paddling involves a lot of coordination between oarsmen. You have to navigate around the wake of larger boats. Surprisingly, the huge rice barges presented no problem. They were slow moving and easy to steer around. The main difficulty was fast moving long-tail boats, because they totally bounced our light-weight kayak as they sputtered by. At least, the Chao Phraya River moves very slowly and gently at this time of year (unlike the rainy season in which the river flows too rapidly due to monsoon floods). By the time we approached Klong Takian we had established teamwork. We took a brief minute to pay respect and to capture the moment on video, while I provided them with short historical context. They listened as we willingly hovered before the wide open mouth of the upper canal – waiting to plunge in.<br />\n****</p>\n<p>Klong Takian has its important place in history. It was the primary location of the bloody Makassar Revolt in 1686. This key event, although mostly unknown, was pivotal in Ayutthaya’s maritime relationships. It reflects the failed struggle by foreign nations to control Thailand’s trading quays and its religious destiny. In other words, the Makkasar Revolt marked a clash between European Christians and Asian Muslims to convert King Narai from Buddhism – and to take over political power in the region. Many of these struggles had little to do with Thailand’s self-interest, who only wanted to profit from trade, but they were battles among foreign visitors themselves. These disputes would ultimately drive a stake through the heart of maritime relationships in Ayutthaya – and theorists may reasonably argue that the Makassar Revolt marks the beginning of the downfall of the Ayutthaya empire. The story starts like this: </p>\n<p>Muslim conversions in the Malay Peninsular (Malacca) began in 1450. The Kingdom of Patani declared itself Islamic in 1457. Unfortunately, the Ayutthaya empire quickly expanded its territorial boundaries into these Muslim areas shortly afterward. Thailand took control of Tenasserim in 1460, and forced the Sultan of Malacca to submit to Thailand in 1489 after a series of attacks (still a touchy point for Muslims in the south today). Thailand held these states for only a short period before Portugal took Malacca in 1511, and expanded its influence in states such as Patani and Ayutthaya. Eventually, Thailand signed a treaty with Portugal in 1516 that recognized the Portuguese suzerainty, and the two countries develop a strong diplomatic trading relationship. In fact, the Portuguese were even given land to settle on in Ayutthaya and they were allowed to build three Christian churches (Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican). Other European countries soon establish trade in Ayutthaya. The Dutch arrive in 1604, the Danish in 1620, the English in 1661, and the French in 1672. In 1665, King Narai gave the French land to establish St Joseph church, which was formally opened in 1685 – at the upper mouth of Klong Takian [Note: many Japanese and Vietnamese Christians also came to Ayutthaya to flee religious persecution at home]. </p>\n<p>Also added to the global mix: Sometime between 1595 and 1602 two brothers arrived for trade from the Islamic holy city of Qom in Persia. Sheik Ahmad served as an advisor to the King from around 1610-1628. Muhamad Said, his brother, was not an ordinary trader either. The two aristocratic brothers relocated to Ayutthaya to stay permanently, bringing with them fleets of servants. This family (linked to the Bunnnag) had a lasting impact in terms of architecture, politics, and intellectual development. In the early 1600s, Muslims from the Mughal dynasty started to pour into Ayutthaya from South Asia. These were traders from the eastern coast of India (sometimes they are inaccurately referred to as Moors). Later, following Malay rebellions in the 1630s, a third group of Muslims was forced to settle in central and northern provinces. Many Muslims insurgents, who opposed King Prasat Thong’s usurping of the throne in Ayutthaya, were made to relocate to Ayutthaya from Patani and Tenasserim due to these uprisings. A fourth group of Muslims arrived in Ayutthaya from Cambodia, the Cham, who were promised land after serving as volunteer mercenaries. A fifth Muslim group, from the Celebes (now Sulawesi) of Indonesia, migrated to Ayutthya with King Narai’s consent after the Dutch occupied their island in 1666-1667. These were the Makassars. Like the French, they also settled at the mouth of Klong Takian. </p>\n<p>Klong Takian is an important location for various Muslim communities in Ayutthaya. This narrow canal was the population centre for most Pattani, Moor, and Makassar residents. Klong Takian also had strategic value, since the man-made canal acted as a backdoor to Ayutthaya Island. It bypassed the main trading quay. Although scholars neglect to point this out, Klong Takian might have also served alternatives purposes in terms of military value and smuggling. Muslims held power in Klong Takian precisely because that is where they lived. However, by the time that the Makassar arrived the Muslim influence in Ayutthaya was already waning. The death of an important Persian trader, Muhammad Sayyid Ardestani, weakened trade in 1665; Many South Asians had also been expelled from the country due to corruption; and King Narai seized more monopolistic power over the trading of goods. More importantly, however, the king had started to favor newly emerging western alliances. </p>\n<p>In this context, a Greek adventurer known as Constance Phaulkon (Gerakis) plopped ashore in Ayutthaya in 1678. Constance ran away from home as a young boy and spent his formative years in low-end jobs aboard English boats. Being a cabin boy and an assistant gunner (a powder monkey) on a ship full of hardened British nationals no doubt led to its fair share of bullying, especially when one is a Greek with a name like “Constance”. But luckily Mr. Phaulkon had the gift of tongue. During his travels he learned to speak Greek, English, Malay, and Portuguese fluently – and in only a few years he picked up Thai. His skill with languages made him priceless as a translator and accountant in this thriving maritime city. Constance rapidly scaled the ladder of upward mobility. He was given luxurious residencies in both Loburi and Ayutthaya. Before long he held a high ranking position and directly advised King Narai. </p>\n<p>Despite these achievements Constance behavior suggested a former cabin boy set on revenge for past abuse. For example, he angered Dutch and British merchants by representing private traders at the expense of company interests. He taunted French clergy for their bad pronunciation of the Thai language. He also informed King Narai that Persians, Malays, and Indians had falsified financial accounts – but, avoided to mention that the Dutch and British were also cooking the books. Constance was an opportunist. He manipulated situations to financially prosper and gain power. He had competitive rivalry with French and Muslim leaders, but also played up to both of them for future rewards. At the time of the revolt, Constance was ingratiating himself with the French, whom he believed presented the most lucrative security option in case of King Narai’s demise (It has also been suggested the French boats were helping Constance smuggle treasure out of Thailand). The French were beginning to make boldly aggressive overtures in Thailand. They applied pressure to have King Narai converted to Christianity, refused to take off shoes and to bow ceremoniously when meeting the king, and constructed two fortresses in Bangkok (with Thai approval). In 1686, Constance learned about a possible coup plot by Muslims. It was time for him to cash in on global politics. </p>\n<p>The alleged plot was that the Makassars planned to overthrow the king to place one of his younger brothers on the throne – providing that he convert to Islam. Then the waning Muslim influence could be corrected, and the growing Christian presence in the royal courtyards could be reduced (something that many Thai elites were growing suspicious of). Meanwhile, the French conspired to convert King Narai to Christianity, or at least place the crippled prince, Aphaithot, into power after Narai’s demise, since the prince had possibly converted to Christianity in hopes of overcoming his physical paralysis. Constance naturally sided with the French – he had recently been converted to Catholicism (from Protestant) by a French Jesuit and married a Japanese Christian for his wife. Therefore, Constance promptly formed a coalition of willing Christians to gang up on the Makassars. This military expedition included: Siamese and native Christians (of Portuguese descent), 12-15 Frenchmen, and some English. The Dutch stayed out of the dispute. The coalition of the willing attacked the Makassar settlement, but they had not thought out a winning strategy very well in advance. The Makassars are fierce fighters who are very skilled with a knife called a ”Kris”. They were not afraid to die in a battle against infidels. The military expedition was sent running for their lives. Constance barely escaped alive.</p>\n<p>Constance then reduced the number of opponents afterward by tricking 53 of them to leave Ayutthaya by boat. He promised them free passage out of Bangkok. However, Constance had ulterior motives. For some inexplicable reason, Constance send a second, contradictory, letter to Chevalier de Forbin, who was commanding royal forces at a fort in Bangkok. Forbin spoke Thai successfully and was in the King’s favour due to his training of regiments. The French navy lieutenant was instructed to block the passage of the Makassar’s boat. The letter suggested that the French retain them by deceit to spare bloodshed. The Makassar rebels’ boat was like a shaken hornet nest floating downstream. Forbin never had a clear idea about the volatile nature of Makassars when trapped. Predictably, full scale military combat followed. Forbin lost 356 men in the first day of confrontation. But, in return nearly every Makassars was hunted down and killed. Forbin later believed that he had been politically set up due to Constance’s jealousy. (*Smithies 42-45). </p>\n<p>The Makassars in Ayutthaya realized that reprisals would come quickly. As legend has it some killed their mothers and children in anticipation of coming slaughter. Constance returned later for a second attack. This time spiked stakes were placed around the river’s waters that would impale Makassar warriors as they swarmed in for hand-to-hand combat. Those that survived could have easily been picked off with French armaments. The Makassar prince was killed by multiple puncture wounds. His two sons were taken to France in 1688 and forcefully baptized Christian. The elder son later stabbed himself to death and the younger became devoid of humanity. Nearly all survivors were executed, and those that survived melted in with other Muslim communities. Today there are few traces of the Makassar in existence. In the two attacks in Ayutthaya four Frenchmen were killed and at least two of three British, including a captain that drowned in the river because he fell into it fully armed (*Smithies 42-45).</p>\n<p>Now, I don’t want to sound like a historical revisionist, but let’s just ask a single question: What if the threat of a coup was only a hoax? After all, it is not unheard of for an influential leader to lie in order to provoke a profitable war. Nor would it be an original idea to blame enemies as a distraction from one’s own foul intentions. The Makassar never actually attacked the capital at all, and it is questionable if they ever had the means for a successful coup in the first place. More importantly, why did Constance place himself in charge of a military expedition to crush the revolt? Why was the military expedition comprised almost exclusively of Christians? Why wasn’t King Narai informed or Thai troops involved?</p>\n<p>Constance had great incentives to make false claims about a plot to overthrow the king. For example, once the Makassars Muslims were eliminated, other Muslim leaders could in turn be made suspects for future coups. Constance already created an environment of distrust by pointing out the faulty financial accounting of Muslim merchants; he now had more evidence that could raise his standing. Secondly, Constance set up a political rival for a fall. The contradictory letters made the surprised Chevalier de Forbin look bad, since he lost so many men fighting the Makassar in Bangkok – while Constance defeated the same enemy in Ayutthaya with less casualties. Thirdly, Constance coveted the sandalwood supply of the private French merchant Sieur de Ruen, which he wanted to buy more cheaply. Sieur de Ruen was one of the French killed during the Makassar attacks in Ayutthaya, thus creating a lucrative opportunity for discount purchases. Finally, King Narai must have recognized Constance’s esteem after this defense from an alleged coup. When thought about in this light, the events are more of a staged massacre than an actual revolt. Nevertheless, the Makassar uprising in July 1886 ignited future religious and political friction.</p>\n<p>The British were among the first to face a violent backlash. The English had run their company into deficits many times in Ayutthaya, yet Constance Phaulkon had made extensive use of English bodyguards, even arming them in battle against the Makassar. Constance also commissioned English privateers (more or less pirates) against Muslim ships from India. These English privateers became involved in activities that conflicted with the English East India Company, like capturing ships and taking their booty. Ultimately, this tension exploded in July 1687 with the Mergui Massacre. More than sixty British were killed in a single night by Muslims in this port town on the Tenasserim coast. The British expatriates were slaughtered down to the last man. This time it was called a massacre. King Narai declared war on the English East India trading company and handed Mergui over to a French governor and his troops. British departure from Ayutthaya was quickly expedited after this attack.</p>\n<p>The moral irony is that all this violence in Thailand was to no avail. Shortly after a solar eclipse in April, 1688, King Narai became terminally ill (some scholars suspect poisoning by a Dutch physician). Constance Phaulkon was tortured to reveal where he hid his treasure, then beheaded in Lopburi on 5th June 1688. The next month, Phetracha, the former commander of the elephant camp, became an usurper to the throne. His support base included the Moors, who Constance tried to suppress, and the Dutch who desired a monopoly on deer hides. All the potential heirs to King Narai were executed. Two of Narai’s brothers were accused of being the accomplices behind the Makassar Revolt and murdered. King Narai finally died shortly later in July. The Makassar Revolt was more than a few random battles, it marked the beginning of a full blown revolution.</p>\n<p>In the middle of this revolutionary turmoil, the French sent 1,300 men and five war ships to the mouth of Chao Phraya to demand entry to Bangkok and to seize the fortresses. They were fully armed with a new invention of explosive shells that could be fired by gun. However, these wars ships had travelled during the harsh rainy season. Troops were too demoralized with dysentery and scurvy to fight. More than 200 soldiers died from sickness before any decisive battle could take place. One of Constance’s last deeds was to help derail these French military plans. Meanwhile, the French dream of recruiting King Narai as a Christian had desperately failed. Thailand successfully remained Buddhist till the end. The French began retreating from Ayutthaya in 1688. This departure marks the start of a new era in Ayutthaya history. It was the beginning of an entirely new dynasty, which unfortunately became the empire’s last. </p>\n<p>As we lined our boat up with the upper mouth of Klong Takian, the actual entrance for water flow, one obvious image unfolded that is lacking in textbooks. Directly on the east side of Klong Takian is St. Joseph church, where the French missionaries preached (and where the Vietnamese refugees lived that had converted to Christianity). Which raises the question: Where exactly did the Makassar Muslims live? One of my sources places the Makassar refugee settlement at the mouth of Klong Takian on its west side – directly across from St. Joseph church. Both settlements would be located close enough to be hit by a stone. Place two sworn religious enemies at this close of proximity and disaster must be inevitable. This would be a classic example of poor urban planning. </p>\n<p>More likely, the Makassar actually lived at the lower mouth of Klong Takian where waterflow exits back to Chao Phraya river (closer to Bang Pa-in Palace). Could the European Christians have noticed strategic opportunity in controlling both mouths of Klong Takian? Whoever held entrances at both sides of Klong Takian could dominate over and profit from the communities living within. Maybe they could declare some toll rights or avoid taxation on smuggling goods (bypassing the main port). Could the Muslim communities be slowly constricted economically until strangled? Such actions might serve to defeat an already weakened Muslim community. Of course, all this is just speculation, but one wonders if the Makassar Revolt/Massacre was provoked by ulterior motives. It’s hard to say, since nearly all the Makassars were killed. They have left no voice to defend themselves with. Therefore, when I gazed forward at Klong Takian, it was an unexplained void in history that looked back.<br />\n****</p>\n<p>This story was enough foreplay. It was time to slide in. A few quick flicks of the paddles and we were at the point of no return. I couldn’t help but wonder if we were the first farangs down Klong Takian since the fall of Ayutthaya. I don’t mean to imply that we were adventurous on the scale of Henri Mouhot, but that Klong Takian is too obscure and rural for anyone to bother exploring. Tourists never had a reason to see it before, and western expatriates don’t live in this part of town. We were one of the few westerners to find purpose touring Klong Takian. Steering the kayak down the narrow passage presented some problems. The weight of the boat had momentum. It was hard to correct our direction, which caused a few minor scrapes with trees along the shoreline. This is especially easy to do since some parts are so overgrown with vegetation that it is like a jungle. Luckily, I wasn’t sitting in front and Udall took he worse of blows. It didn’t take long, however, before we found our rhythm and developed breaking skills. We quickly learned to coordinate our paddling and to communicate about what was coming up ahead. </p>\n<p>In the first ten minutes we spotted a monitor lizard. I have seen these critters get so large in Ayutthaya that they are almost the size of Kimono dragons. This one was fairly small, though, and it dived underwater when it saw us. These timid creatures often escape to cavernous homes dug into the riverbanks. Seeing it by kayak felt more quiet and intimate. It didn’t really matter that the sighting was so brief. There is also a variety of colorful birds that I have never been able to identify. One of these days I need to persuade a bird watcher hobbyist onto a boat in Ayutthaya. As beautiful as they might be, I seldom bother to remember what these birds are called.</p>\n<p>Klong Takian used to be an open waterway. The liquid artery pumped into the heart of the Muslim community. It was too important to plug up. Nowadays, as we discovered, there are many obstacles in the water. The first one was a small wooden bridge. We thought we might have to lift the kayak over it, but when I climbed onto the bridge I noticed a second option. One large wooden plank could be slid over giving us room. Joost and Udall paddled the Kayak right through the bridge. I inserted the plank back into place after we had cleared the opening. The second barrier was the curse of the canals, a prolific plant called a water hyacinth, or Java weed. I have also heard some locals call them, “the giant vegetables”, which is the name that I like best. These water plants have no natural predator, so they quickly overpopulate canals and strangle the flow of traffic. Another 3-4 water tours could be done in Ayutthaya if hyacinth were dredged out more often. For the most part, we could steer our kayak around them, but in one bend a patch of Java weed was way too prolific. It took us ten minutes to hack our way through.<br />\nA thin layer of smoke wafted above the water. People were burning rubbish and yard scraps. This was a definite sign of civilisation. Many local fishers set traps along the canal. Their favourite is a large net that sinks to the bottom and spreads out. The net can be quickly lifted by a rope around a pulley, which ensnares all the surprised fish in the way. Fishing by canoe is very rare, in fact we only saw one other boat in this canal – and the woman wasn’t fishing. But the deeper we went into Klong Takian the more buildings seemed to pop up. There are many villages. Buddhist and Muslim presence are both evident. We passed numerous temples: Wat Klang, Wat Tha Mai, Wat Chang, and Wat Khok Chin Daram. There was also several Mosques that I know little about. The Muslims along this canal were once noted for their weaving and net-making skills, but nowadays most of them seek jobs as civil servants and factory workers. </p>\n<p>In an different age people might have worried about crocodiles in the water or tigers on the land. Nowadays, the greatest fear seems to be Muslim people. I am being serious. Tourists actually inquired if I was afraid of these Muslim-infested waters. They asked if I was not endangered as a white farang in remote Klong Takian. But Americans tend to be over frightened these days. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that villagers were quite friendly. One thing that all villagers had in common was their amazement to see three farangs paddling in a kayak past their homes. Fleets of bathing children would playfully swim at us. Adults would point us out to neighbors. Crowds would gather. We attracted a curious audience wherever we went. And for the record, the terrorist operative chief who helped mastermind the Bali bombings for Jemaah Islamiah, known as Hambali, never lived near these waters. In 2003, Riduan Isamuddin (alias Hambali) was caught near Ayutthaya “Grand” street, which is a busy tourist district outside the island – far away from Klong Takian. To be precise, Hambali was arrested in flat #601 of Boonyarak Apatments where he lived with his wife for $115 per month. This address is close to Ayutthaya karaoke clubs and red light districts. It is not where one would imagine a religious fundamentalist. </p>\n<p>One drawback of river communities is that they tend to pollute. The water quality of this canal is very bad. A lot of debris has built up along the banks. Plastic bags full of waste gently float by. In all likelihood the canal also has its share of raw sewage – always a problem in stagnant water when it comes to disease. Some discarded waste products can be useful. For example, abandoned lorry tyres can provide fish with breeding areas and old sunken boats can help slow the erosion of river banks. However, plastic debris, soda tins, and Styrofoam are very unsightly. It takes forever for them to degrade. I imagine that broken bottles have also injured more than a few children. Despite this pollution, Klong Takian plays a vital role for local communities. They use the water to fish, bathe, wash clothing, and nourish gardens. </p>\n<p>About half way down Klong Takian (some French maps label it “Grand Cochran”) we arrived at the mouth of Klong Pracham (which the French labeled “Petite Cochran”). Most old maps portray both canals in some form, but the latter canal especially lacks information. Pattani Muslims are clustered beside it. The Cham Muslims from Cambodia also built a community here (near Wat Kaeo Fa). Nowadays, Klong Pracham has greatly filled in with silt, so the passages are rather narrow. In earlier times people could take a boat north all the way to the Chao Phraya River, but a modern road supposedly prevents this today. I was game to see where Klong Pracham actually goes anyway. However, my proposal was promptly vetoed by Udall and Joost. They reasoned that is would be too difficult to turn around if we got stuck. The canal was so narrow that our kayak had too little room to manoeuvre. The water was also a dirty, stagnant, grey colour. It is hard to argue with the wisdom of engineers when you are only a humble English teacher. I felt slightly let down that this canal remained out of reach, but in the end we struck with our original plan to see Klong Takian. </p>\n<p>The three of us continued downstream. We spent a short time calmly floating in our own personal space. I focused on a river bend in front of me, because it represented the most beautiful place in the world – the unseen location that would unfold next. We paddled down a few more slight turns, when suddenly the mouth of the canal was within sight. I relaxed into a silent moment of triumph. After brief ceremony, we slowly slid our steed out from Klong Takian. It was like a slip road leading to a freeway. We were back on the Chao Phraya River once again. The Portuguese, Japanese, British, and Dutch settlements (in order) were just ahead to the north. </p>\n<p>We successfully kayaked from one end of Klong Takian to the other. The journey took roughly two hours from my former landlady’s home. There were no injuries and nobody fell into the water. I felt a cocky sense of accomplishment. We had invented a new eco-tour, put it to test, and survived without incident. It was an outright peaceful experience. Oddly, we had latched onto something thrilling that nobody else was doing. Only the rarest of tourists makes use of Ayutthaya’s waterways by kayak. However, many of the city’s small canals are ideal for this type of transport. The three of us immediately began to plan future kayaking excursions (Klong Hantra, Klong Aap, and Klong Sa Bua). I began mapping out possible kayaking routes on the island itself, while we ate a celebratory picnic of crisps at a riverside temple. I couldn’t help but notice how our harnessed kayak transformed back to a fish hooked onto a string. It just floated there aimlessly. I wondered if I could make merit by releasing it again for another journey upstream. </p>\n<blockquote><p>References:<br />\nBreazeale, Kennon (ed.).

The section for Ayutthaya in my Lonely Planet guidebook was fully ticked. I had seen all the big places listed: Wat Mahathat, Wat Chaiwatthanaram, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, Wat Phanan Cheong. Been there and done all that. I had conquered Ayutthaya. I could then go back to Khao San Road in Bangkok and pretend that I was expert. I was qualified to swap advice about Ayutthaya with ultra-cool travelers. I had also taken quick photographic evidence to show friends back home. What else was there for me to know? </p>\n<p>            This false confidence rapidly evaporated as soon as I started living in Ayutthaya. After one freezing winter in Mormon-dominated Utah, in a brief stint as a temp-hired librarian, I boomeranged back to the freedom of Thailand once again. I spent the next two years as an expatriate English teacher in Ayutthaya (2000-2002). Layers of ruins continued to unravel during this time. Each day I stumbled across an old chedi or prang that I had never heard about before. Walls of former temples poked out from behind trees everywhere. None of these sites had any name listed in English and few of them were even known to my Thai students. Many of the ruins hadn’t even been fully excavated yet. But, the layers kept on rolling. The ruins were like dormant plants springing to life; stretching upward toward the hot sun after centuries of slumber. These decaying buildings emerged from the graves of the past Ayutthaya empire. I imagined them as towering skeletons splitting the sky. </p>\n<p>Before long I realized how little anyone actually knew about the old city, especially the mysterious ruins lurking off Ayutthaya Island. Lonely Planet and other guidebooks were only scraping the most visible surface, but I couldn’t really blame them for not digging any deeper. The Ayutthaya Empire was as significant for its time  as the kingdoms in Angkor (Cambodia), Champa (Vietnam) and Pagan (Myanmar). There were over 400 temples constructed in the heyday of Ayutthaya. That is too large of a project for guidebooks to document alone, and the local TAT office only produces a limited amount of information for tourists. I think the latter has even used the same map and brochures for well over a decade. Therefore, I slowly chipped away at my own research. I started to map out the locations of more obscure ruins and explore them in person. There were a lot of false starts and misleading data. The more I learned about this former empire, the more I realized how little I actually knew about it. It was overwhelming. Before long, I simply left Thailand. I had fallen into the typical lifestyle of a transient English teacher, and it was time to move on. </p>\n<p>            My latest round in Ayutthaya is what did it. I was given my present class on tour planning and management. It was a good opportunity to try something different.  There are some decent day excursion that can be done from Ayutthaya, however hotels and travel agencies are reluctant to offer anything new. Therefore, I assigned my students several unique tours to see if they could be made affordable. They came up with budgets and itineraries as a mid-term project. The tours to cities far outside of Ayutthaya proved too expensive because of the high cost of renting a mini-van, so our class revised the original plan. We decided to create new tours that were mostly specific to Ayutthaya (all less than three hours long; under $5 per tourist). I seized the chance to introduce students to remote countryside ruins. Most of these former temples are unknown to both locals and foreigners. Few students had ever visited any of them before. But, in the classroom I was hit with a serious problem: I had difficulty coming up with material about these potential tour sites to share with my students. If our class could work together to find enough data and photographs we might be able to spark some interest. This way many more hidden layers of Ayutthaya ruins could be inexpensively revealed to tourists for the first time. </p>\n<p>The Skeleton Lecture:</p>\n<p>            What do we know about the ruins in Ayutthaya, really? The Burmese destroyed most of the libraries and the royal records when they invaded in 1767. Only a small number of documents survived, and much of what is preserved comes from foreigners that traded with the Ayutthaya empire. This might suffice for basic tour guiding because students could glean some data from locally produced brochures, but how could we learn more about the ruins in the remote countryside? This was my problem as a teacher. How could I help my students learn when I lacked access to important information myself? Knowledge was either destroyed or still buried. The best I could do was to scrape stringy meat off a few skinny bones. The next day in class I presented a thin shadow of information. </p>\n<p>            I started off by showing them some old maps drawn by foreigners. It is interesting to note that most of the early maps were visually centered from the south looking northward. The angles of the buildings, forts, and ruins are drawn as if cartographers were sketching from the old center of trade along the Chao Phraya River. For example, see the anonymous maps drawn by the Dutch school (1650) and Johannes Vingboons (c.1665). These were trader maps, really. The early Dutch cartographers didn’t make any observations about the temples located off the island, although it is well established that many were already in existence at that time. In fact, a mountain range is often shown in the north; hinting of the Lan Na/Chiang Mai region. This oversight, in part, is because foreigners were not allowed to take ships beyond the southeastern harbor. The outer temples were not necessary for them to know for trade. Therefore, Dutch cartographers simply drew what they could visualize as useful from port. In result, the shape of Ayutthaya Island and the city’s waterways were very contradictory and inaccurate. </p>\n<p>Maps improved with the growing French influence in the city. Alain Mallet (1683) created a map in a style similar to the Dutch. It added significant details, but still neglected to explore most temples residing off the island. In 1686, Father Courtaulin of the Mission Etrangeres (or possibly Abbe De Choisy) created an in-depth map that acknowledged water systems and ethnic villages. It was drawn with a tilt favoring a view from the south, but this map also signifies the later French trend of looking down from above onto the city. Maps drawn by French cartographers in 1687 (Vollant Des Verquains?) and 1693 (La Loubere) have the first totally aerial perspectives that I could find. La Loubere’s also details ethnic villages and other landmarks. A map penned by Jacques Nicolas Bellin, in 1750, has one of the most accurate portrayal of them all. However, there is virtually zero acknowledgment of any temple off the island to the north and east. The first map that I could find that specifically documented pagodas and other ruins was drawn by an European around the time of King Chulalongkorn (1868-1910) long after the fall of the empire. Only a handful of major ruins are observed by name and the freshly built modern train station slices across the map. </p>\n<p>The purpose of this map display was to show students how difficult it would be to find information for these countryside tours. The early cartographers virtually ignored the areas where we planned to take tourists. Courtaulin is one of the few to bother sketching any resemblance of countryside temples, but he also omits names. Europeans simply had little interest in these areas. Therefore, it would be difficult to use these old maps to track down when new temples were originally constructed. Map comparisons won’t provide a timeline of how buildings developed in the countryside. I challenged students to find maps drawn by Thai and other Asian sources, especially one that wasn’t oriented to the southern perspective. I even promised them a bonus 10 points, but none of them ever took me up on my offer. Nevertheless, there is a massive number of ruins to the north and east. Some of them are rather large and impressive. There is an entire history to be told about these places. However, there are also an exponential number of question raised in the process.</p>\n<p>It was an odd lecture, really. Students are supposed to learn facts, but I was teaching them about how little is actually known. But, we did need to gather some type of information for these future tours. I opened up some history books next to read about the founding of Ayutthaya. Historians generally place the city’s beginning at 1350 or 1351, and they attribute King Uthong as the original founder. However, there is overwhelming evidence that a number of temples already existed prior to this time. A Northern Chronicle speaks of King Sai Nampung, who founded Wat Pananchoeng (which is still active today, and especially venerated among the Chinese). There is a folk story that a Chinese emperor gave his daughter to King Sai Nampung for marriage, but his new wife committed suicide in despair. Thus, Wat Pananchoeng was built as a memorial to her. In 1324, a 19 meter high and 20 meter wide Buddha image was constructed at this temple. It was completely covered with gold leaf. How could people from a non-city be able to afford to built a meditating image of this magnitude and cover it with gold? Why would they build it in the middle of nowhere? Where did the labor come from? What forces could protect the investment?</p>\n<p>The most likely answer is that Ayutthaya exited as a city long before King Uthong’s arrival. Derick Garnier writes: “Archaeologists have founded traces of a pre-12th century Dvaravati town on and below the island at Wat Khun Muang Chai, Wat Maha That, and Tambon Bang Kracha. Some historians believe that there was an old city to the east of the island, which they call ‘Ayothaya’, and that traces of some of these old buildings remain” (p 40-41). Wat Ayothaya’s main chedi may be from the Sukhothai period. Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon has two Buddha images from the Dvaravati period. A large bronze Buddha head was discovered at Wat Dhamikaraj that predates establishment by King Uthong, and the same temple has Khmer-style  lions around its main chedi. The artifacts listed above may have been stolen from other cities after military conquest, but there is no proof of origins or records of acquisition. Therefore, Ayutthya’s past remains shrouded in mystery. </p>\n<p>The only certainty is that the majority of the ruins mentioned above can be seen either on the island or to the eastern side. Therefore, it is important to know that prior to 1350 both these areas were connected by land. Back then the geography was an ox-bow of a river bend. The eastern canal had not yet been dug to create an island. King Uthong constructed the canal so that the new city would be encircled by water as protective moat. This shifted the political center to an enclosed island and opened up new trading routes. The former pre-canal section is referred to as “Ayothaya”, which is pronounced quite distinctively from “Ayutthaya” (also known as Ayuthia, Ayuthya, Iudia, Iodea, and Iudiad). It isn’t a question of faulty transliterated spellings. These words actually refer to two different cities. The former city preceded the latter. But, there is little information about it.</p>\n<p>There are references to at least two distinct kings with connections to a pre-existing “Ayothaya”: Sai Nampung and a Thai named Phraya Kraek (who was supposedly linked directly to Buddha). But, I still can’t find details about either of them or their origins. A Persian scribe, Muhammad Ibrahim, was told by city inhabitants in 1686 that some of the local temples and buildings were over a thousand years old. French explorer, Henri Mouhot, cites a document allegedly written by a Thai king that states, “Our ancient capital Ayuthia, before the year A.D. 1350, was but the ruin of an ancient place belonging to Kambuja (now known as Cambodia), formerly called Lawek … Sometime near the year 1300 A.D. the former inhabitants were much diminished by frequent wars with the Northern Siamese and the Peguans, or Mons, so these cities were vacated, or left in a ruinous state, and nothing remained but their names … [King Uthong] made Ch’a-liang the seat of his government for six years, and then, in consequence to the prevalence of disease of a pestilential character, he caused various researches to be made for some more healthy location, and finally fixed on the site of Ayuthia … in 1350” (p 29-31).</p>\n<p>The more I learned about history, the less I actually knew. There were so many different theories and interpretations. I became more confused as I peeled off new layers of information. David Wyatt writes that “Ayutthaya had previously been the Lopburi region of the Angkorean Empire” (p 52). After the Angkor Empire had been weakened, around 1290, Sukhothai took control of the western edge of the Chao Phraya plain, and its former principality of Suphanburi soon dominated over the area. Lopburi continued to have a major influence on the eastern side. These two forces became power centers in the region, which led to many conflicts over the following decades and alterations in architectural styles. Many small towns sought political and economic opportunities through inter-marriage, other independents were forced into alliance by military imbalances. King Uthong’s (Ramathibodhi I) is widely credited with the foundation of Ayutthaya because he cemented his political base by marrying the daughter of a Suphanburi ruler, and he might have also married a woman with ties to a ruling Lopburi family. He later appointed his brother-in-law to govern Suphanburi and his eldest son to govern Lopburi. Thus, temporarily uniting the two major power centers in the region. King Uthong then had the political clout to start a new regional empire. </p>\n<p>King Uthong’s personal background is described in a Thai Royal Chronicle. He was born in 1314 to a powerful Chinese merchant named Choduksethi. [whose family is strongly connected to Phetburi, a southern city of trade]. After an (unnamed?) king of “Kamphucha” died without leaving a male heir, Uthong was raised as his replacement. A severe outbreak of small pox broke out across Thailand, so King Uthong marched his troops for days to escape pestilence. Eventually, they came to a circular river and established themselves. They referred to this new location as “Dong Sano Island”. This account does place the early life of King Uthong into perspective, but it also has many flaws. For example, it makes no mention of any village ever existing on the island before, even though there is clear evidence that Wat Pananchoeng had been constructed only 26 years earlier (when Uthong was age ten). He must have noticed the large, gold-covered, Buddha image in the area. Secondly, “Dong Sano” was not an island back then. The eastern canal was dug afterward. Furthermore, where did they find such a large labor force and the wealth to built everything upon empty land?</p>\n<p>A Dutch man called Jeremias Van Vliet recorded a much different version. Uthong was the son of a Chinese ruler who had to flee the country after violating the wives of important Mandarins. He wandered around Thailand for awhile, founding new cities, until he stumbled across an unknown island. King Uthong supposedly met an old hermit on the island, who told them that it was the location of a former city called “Ayodhya”. The hermit told the king that a dragon, called Nagaraja, lived in a marsh on the island. This dragon could blow enough poisonous saliva to cause epidemics, killing everyone within sight. The king would need to slay this dragon to make the island inhabitable. The hermit instructed him to do the following acts in order to kill the dragon: shoot an arrow into the air and catch it by the quiver, blow on a horn everyday like a Brahmin priest, and smear his body daily with cow dung. After successfully completing these acts (though some say rice meal was substituted for cow dung) the king sent for the hermit. Perhaps the king was not thrilled by this prankster hermit, who convinced him to rub himself with cow dung, but the king had a special surprise waiting. Without warning, the king promptly threw the hermit into the marsh and had it filled in. Since then the dragon has never returned and the land remained epidemic free.</p>\n<p>Another mythological version is that Buddha flew from India to the Chao Phraya Basin, where he left a footprint to indicate the site of a future kingdom. Ayutthaya Island has a shape similar to a Buddha’s footprint, and past kings have used this geographic coincidence to draw a connection between their own divine rule and Gautama Buddha. One legend, recorded in a religious script known as a tamnan, links Gautama Buddha to both a Thai king named Phraya Kraek of “Ayodhya” and to Ramathibodhi (Uthong) of “Ayutthaya”. The name Ayutthaya, itself, refers to an Indian city ruled by Rama during the Hindi epic Ramayana. Building an empire on the location of Buddha’s own footprint was seen by some rulers as an act of merit and divinity. </p>\n<p>So what is the truth? We don’t really know for sure. There are bits and pieces that seem reasonable. In all likelihood some community called “Ayothaya” had been established in this area prior to King Uthong’s arrival. These people constructed buildings on sites that have been used in later periods. There must have been some type of plague and warfare to cause most people to move away. The area had a strong connection to Chinese trading families who possibly established ties to the Sukhothai kingdom. The area would have been ideal for trade since a confluence for three rivers met at this location. The large amount of water would have been ideal for growing rice. But, all this history is fragile. All it would take is the discovery of new documents and old theories could change or unravel. For example, the discovery of a single silver coin in Nakhon Pathom stating “Lord of Dvaravati” provided the only local evidence of that state; and in the 1930s, a series of letters and certificates were discovered near Naha in the Okinawa Prefecture of Japan. They were written and preserved by the local Chinese community that served the Ryukyu kingdom. The nature of the trading relationship between Japan and Ryukyu was unknown until then. After these discoveries entirely new chapters could be added. I only hope that there are more ceramic jars buried someplace that could reveal all.</p>\n<p>I stood in front of my class confessing my lack of knowledge. It was a humbling experience; a very non-Asian pedagogy. But, it was exactly what I wanted them to do: speak freely without losing face. I feared that they would be uncomfortable making mistakes. But, what could I do, European maps failed to document the places where we were scheduled to go. Nearly all of the maps completely omitted the temples on the northern and eastern sides. Textbooks seldom produced much more solid information about eastern temples than a basic brochure and almost nothing at all about the ones in the north. Stories contradicted each other and dates didn’t match. This is not the fault of historians. Victors dictate how history is written, dishonest leaders embellish their own accomplishments, traders and craftsmen might not keep records, simple folks who can’t read or write exaggerate by verbal myth, books are burnt, artifacts are stolen, and sometimes people just lie. The more I learned the less I actually knew. It was frustrating. Maybe that was what students were suffering through with English; the more they learnt, the more overwhelmed they were by how much more they needed to know. There is no easy solution. Basically, I spoke with students about the empty space that exists between skeletal ribs. </p>\n<p>The Post-Lecture Marrow:</p>\n<p>            Students were having fun teasing me during the lecture. I was trying to pronounce the names of places where I planned to take them. “Oh teacher, very good,” they joked, “this time you said that name right”. Students even clapped in encouragement. They broke into gleeful seizures when I attempted the names of Thai kings (Borommatrailokanat, Phumintharacha, Athittayawong, Chao Fa Sri Saowaphak, Intharacha, Nakharinthrathirat). Their mirth was revenge for the difficulties of English. They had endured 12 verb tenses, third person singular, and countable/uncountable nouns. In return, they enjoyed listening to me suffer through the karma of five intonations and overextended Thai words. I had to speak without the availability of Thai punctuation marks. </p>\n<p>I was having a taste of my own medicine, really. I always tell students to not be afraid of making mistakes. Errors are a major part of language practice. My students need to be comfortable using English with real life dialogue. They can always learn later by more research and repetition. Nobody wants to admit to the lack knowledge about a subject, because it would be considered a loss of face. However, I want to eliminate this type of self-consciousness. By tasting a small portion of humble pie, I was able to make students more willing to speak out loud in class, even if it took the form of them correcting my own mispronunciations of Thai names. At least, it initiated constructive dialogue. </p>\n<p>Then I turned the tables. I would take them on a surprise tour the next week. They would have to explain places to me that they had never seen before. “You are tour guides,” I threatened, “You need to learn the words needed to articulate Ayutthaya to tourists”. Vocabulary can be stacked together like vertebrae. It was time for students to crack their spine into place. The class suddenly became silent. An unusual field trip was on the horizon. This time I would take them on a tour of the pre-1350 Ayothaya region to the east. </p>\n<p>I also scared them with this:</p>\n<p>_____________________________</p>\n<p>Final Test               (30 points)                              ♫             ♥              ☼</p>\n<p>The following ten questions are worth 3 points each. Students are expected to answer each one with as many details as possible. Higher points will be saved for the nicer descriptions. Spelling and grammar will also be taken into consideration, but aren’t as important for grading. The goal is for students to explain the class tours this semester and to provide personal opinions about them.

My landlady persuaded me to make morning  merit at a countryside ruin. Our vehicle was loaded with water, kitchen gear, and prepared food. On route, she pulled down a side street to buy extra offerings for monks. While meandering on a curvy dirt road we hit a dead end. The landlady let out a minor curse then spun off in a different direction. The new path passed Wat Kudi Dao, a rather large ruin of slightly mysterious origin. It is assumed to be built in the early Ayutthaya period, but might have been erected on the bases of even older buildings. I had never seen it before. There are at least seven ruins close to this street. My landlady later took us to another one, Wat Dusit Tharam, for the morning ceremony. The monks chanted for a solid hour, families ate afterward, and I began to wander around. Behind this active temple was a very large chedi. This site wasn’t manicured; large trees and bushes grew from cracks inside the chedi’s structure. This was probably how Ayutthaya temples looked on the island before the Fine Arts Department renovated them. I had just shown my class some pictures of Ayutthaya during the 1950s, so I could now offer something even more visual. </p>\n<p>Our class orignially planned to visit this area as part of a jungle food tour. There is a new elephant camp nearby and a daily snake show. We also scheduled an optional stop at a jungle food restaurant where tourists could dine on cobra meat, monitor lizard, wild boar, various rodents, and snake blood. However, the jungle tour wasn’t cost-effective for our entire class to go on. After reviewing out budget we had to cancel it. The students weren’t exactly thrilled by the idea of drinking shots of cobra blood either. This new eastside temple tour could be added as a substitute. It was a reasonable alternative to our first plan. Before long, we were heading there in the Rajabhat mini-van.</p>\n<p>            For readers, if you want to find these sites: turn either left or right when you come to the large roundabout chedi in the middle of a Rochana Road (Chedi Wat Samplum, to be exact). You can go either direction and find cool things. These temples are highly concentrated on what some students call “Ayutthaya Bang Pa-in Road (#3058)”. Our class began by turning northward at the roundabout Chedi. I wanted to show them Wat Ayothaya first, since its main chedi was likely to have been built in the Sukhothai era. It appeared as if untouched for centuries. Then, we visited Wat Maheyong which was constructed by King Borom Rajathiraj II (Chao Sam Phraya) in 1483. This ruin has a large bell-shaped chedi. The chedi’s base is surrounded by elephant figures and its upper terrace is encircled with Buddha images. This is an unique style in Ayutthaya. There is only one like it. Nowadays, meditation retreats are held at this location, which has become very popular among Thai tourists. There are many other places on this tour that are worthy of a visit (Wat Kudi Dao, Wat Samana Kotharam, Wat Pradosang Than, Wat Prayad). However, I am not going to write about them. It’s better to keep them a mystery for now, so as to preserve some element of surprise.</p>\n<p>            I  bombarded my students with questions at Wat Kudi Dao: When was the temple built? Who constructed it? What is the story? What style are these ruins? What is the difference between an ubosot and a wiharn? Are chedis and stupas the same thing? What did this temple look like before it was a ruin? Do you think tourists would pay for a tour to see this? This visit also opened up conversation about Ayutthaya roots prior to 1350. Much of this area was built on top of former dwellings. At first the students were reluctant to make independent guesses. They were shy until silences also became awkward. Then they spoke freely. Very few students had seen any of these ruins before, so they didn’t know much about them. But, they quickly caught on that I was simply trying to encourage them to talk. It was with this exercise that I learned the type of information that they had already acquired, and what data they were still lacking. I taught them a few things about these architectural skeletons. However, they could fit a few bones together on their own. </p>\n<p>            The next stops on our itinerary were Wat Phanon Choeng and Wat Yai Chaimongkhon. Both sites most likely preceded the founding of Ayutthaya. These two locations are already so popular that tourists are bussed in daily from Bangkok to see them. These temples can be difficult for tourist to get to by road, so they could be included as a draw for this countryside temple tour. However, my students and I had already visited them at least a dozen times already. We wanted to bite into something different since we already had access to the Rajabhat mini-van. Students suggested that we alter the itinerary, and I encouraged their spontaneity. Before I knew it we were on route to one of Ayutthaya’s largest standing buildings – Chedi Phu Khao Thong – a  pyramid-like ruin constructed in Mon style on the opposite side of the city. </p>\n<p>On route I saw something smaller that made me ask the driver to slam on his brakes to make a U-turn. Hundreds of  spirit houses were stacked together next to a dried up canal. Students explained that people abandoned them at this site because they were broken, but too sacred to throw away. Other students suggested that people left them there to get rid of the bad ghosts that lived inside the spirit house. It was almost like a folk art museum. A large variety of spirit houses was showcased, from old wooden ones to modern plastic designs. This was a graveyard of spirit houses. Now, that is something they should point out to tourists. </p>\n<p>            At Chedi Phu Khao Thong we ran into a very drunk Japanese tourist. He had managed to bike all the way to this site and was sweating profusely. My students’ tour guide instincts kicked in. Most of them have studied Japanese as a minor language, so seven of them volunteered to show him around. All of a sudden, he had seven beautiful Thai women as his private tour guides. He was a very happy man. The other students joined me on a walk through the adjacent temple. There is a Buddha footprint inside. I wanted to demonstrate to students that a tiny room is hiding underneath the footprint. If you step through the mouth of a tiger gateway, you can walk downstairs to a little shrine. There is a ceramic jar full of blessed water that anyone can drink. It is the knowledge of little details like these that makes a truly skilled tour guide. In turn, the students pointed out to me a special type of rock that could reproduce itself. It was located in a glass jar on a shrine. If people show this stone good faith than smaller pebbles will grow out of it. We traded knowledge as well as questions.</p>\n<p>Then came the test of the day. I promised students that there was a small hole at the top of the Chedi Phu Khao Thong, where tourists could crawl inside to find a small shrine at the end of a dark hallway. I wanted to see how many students would take me up on the invitation to see it. I raced up the staircase of the massive chedi, two steps at a time, wishing that a few students would instinctively follow me. The test was to see which tour guides would go the extra mile. I have only been on one group tour in Thailand, and at that time our guide seldom did anything more than point and say, “Go over there”. Our group had to wake up this sleeping tour guide whenever we returned to the van. Certainly, my students could be better than that. They need to actually go the full distance with tourists and surprise them with unique details about a place. </p>\n<p>At the top of the chedi I waited for students to catch up. It was quiet and peaceful. A cool sunset breeze began to blow in. On the distance I could see at least two more remote ruins on the north side of the island. These temples lurked within a confusing maze of rice fields, dirt trails, and muddy canals. They were my final obstacle to understanding Ayutthaya ruins, because I could never find a pathway to visit them. Back in 2001, I set out several times to track them down, but I always had to turn back after getting stuck in a rice paddies. However, these obscure ruins would become our next learning session. I knew that my class would find a way to see them one day together. It was an entirely new layer of ruins to explore. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately, only two students put in the extra effort to meet me on top of Chedi Phu Khao Thong. These are the students who will get top grades and reference letters. I showed them the hole at the top of the chedi that leads to a secret shrine. Afterward, one of the students was amazed. She told me, “You are farang. How can you teach me so much about Ayutthaya? I am Thai, but I never knew this shrine existed. I have never seen most of these temples before today”. These temples had become too commonplace for her. She sees temples everyday, so they have lost their novelty. If you look at something long enough you can no longer see it. The remote countryside temples were not important to her, so like the early western cartographers she omitted the outer temples as periphery knowledge. But, these obscure countryside temples could prove important one day as a source of revenue. Sometimes it takes a tourist to remind locals of what is so special about their city. I tried to introduce new information to students. Now, they had a new set of questions to chew on.  But, so did I.</p>\n<p>Adding Layers of Skin (Lecture Two):</p>\n<p>            Beth Fouser writes that there are three distinct architectural sub-periods in Ayutthaya history. The early period was from 1351 to the late 15th century, in which the Khmer-style prang tower was the prominent feature of these early temples. The middle sub-period, approximately 1488-1629, is signified by when the bell-shaped chedi became the most popular architectural style. This transition took place after King Trailok, annexed the Sukhothai kingdom as a vassal state, adopting the latter’s architectural style in the process. The third sub-period began in 1629 when King Prasat Thong constructed Wat Chaiwatthanaram, which included as its central point the first prang built in over 200 years. Khmer-style prangs were brought back to life in the late Ayutthaya period. This era would last until the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese in 1767 (p XIV). </p>\n<p>            Ayutthaya’s different architectural styles can be understood with the backdrop of an age-old rivalry between two powerful Thai families: one based in Lopburi and the other in Suphanburi. King Uthong (Ramathibodhi) had a peaceful attitude toward Sukhothai, since he had married a princess of the Sukhothai king and entered into an non-aggression agreement with his new father-in-law. King Uthong, however, had deep hostility for Angkor due to his family roots in Lopburi, which had been captured by the Khmer numerous times. King Uthong spent much of his reign trying to defeat the Angkor kingdom in return. In 1369, Angkor was temporarily taken and captive families were forcibly removed to Ayutthaya (much like the Burmese would eventually do to Thai families nearly four hundred years later in 1767). </p>\n<p>After Uthong died his uncle, King Borommaracha, forced Uthong’s young son, Ramesuan, to abdicated the throne. King Borommaracha had family ties to Suphanburi, which was once a principality of the Sukhothai kingdom. Once in power, he put his energies into overthrowing Sukhothai in the north. After King Borommaracha died his son was executed by Ramesuan, who returned to Ayutthaya to seize the throne for a second time. Attention was reserved once again for battles in the east. This friction continued for over a century until King Borommatrailokanat (Trailok) finally defeated Sukhothai once and for all. As each enemy was overthrown by warfare, new architectural styles and forced laborers were brought back to Ayutthaya. </p>\n<p>            The construction of temples was a way for kings to make merit and establish legitimacy. The laborers who actually built the temples might have appreciated a better alternative though. Building the temples was very grueling and dangerous work. It was rarely done on a volunteer basis. Ji Ungpakorn writes that the system of forced labor can be divided into two types: Taht and Prai (p 38-40). The first type was in the form of slavery. War captives were obliged to work for the king as slaves for a set period of time. In order to build loyalty to their new leader, they were sometimes paid for their services and could also make a living as a peasant. Skilled artisans and engineer captives were naturally required to contribute to construction projects. Debt slavery was another type of forced labor. Debtors could be contracted out by their masters as an interest payment, and families could also supply members as collateral for loans. They had to supply labor until all debts were paid. </p>\n<p>The population of male commoners (the Prai) was also forced to provide non-paid labor. In the 1680s, a westerner named Nicholas Gervaise described how all men were required to provide six months of service either to the King of Ayutthaya or a “Mandarin”. Corvee labor was mandatory to either the king, a noble, or the local ruling family. This general population is who mostly constructed Ayutthaya’s temples, palaces, and canals. These tasks were so brutal in Thailand’s hot climate that some males became debt slaves to rich patrons rather than to provide six months worth of voluntary service to the king. Sometimes the Prai were even tattooed on their wrist with their name, the location where they lived, and the name of their local boss. Male workers were settled in densely populated areas around the construction site. This close proximity was a way to politically control a large surplus labor force. </p>\n<p>            The construction of these temples, however, had a far wider significance in terms of religious belief. Beth Fouser writes that Thai temples are conceived as microcosms of the universe – stars, planets, heaven, and the directions of the compass. They are constructed to bring harmony between the universe and the world of humanity. In Buddhist cosmography, Mount Meru is the center of the universe. It is surrounded by seven mountain ranges, which are divided by seven seas. Beyond the last mountain range is the world ocean, in which four continents lie at each four points of the compass. In accordance with the path of the sun: east is the direction of birth, south is the direction of life, west is the direction of dying, and north is the direction of death. </p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that the birth of the earliest Ayothaya colony began in the east. King Uthong started the life of the new Ayutthaya empire by building his first temple (Wat Phuthaisawan) in the south. Ayutthaya’s destruction came from the west in the form of the Burmese who fired cannons from a western base (Wat Kasatrathiraj), and the final blow to the Ayutthaya empire was dealt from the north (based from Wat Na Phra Meru). To be precise, after a year long siege, the Burmese finally breached the city walls to set fire to the arsenal tower of the Mahachai fortress, which was located near the front palace (now the Chan Kasem Museum). The Burmese continued to destroy and plunder Ayutthaya from this breached wall. Ironically, the rebirth of Ayutthaya took place at this exact spot in the form of Hua Ror market. </p>\n<p>The natural geography of Ayutthaya, in itself, was viewed with the same principles of Buddhist cosmography. The island could be understood as a water-surrounded Mount Meru – a divine kingdom ruled by a supreme being directly liked to Buddha. Naturally, Buddhist cosmography is also reflected by many features of religious monuments in Ayutthaya. For example, most temples are built with an east-west axis or facing a body of water – the later could signifying the seven seas, the world ocean, or the fact that Buddha obtained enlightenment while sitting beneath a Bodhi tree by a river. A temple’s main prang or chedi could also represent Mount Meru. </p>\n<p>The role of Buddhist cosmography in the construction of temples is too immense and complicated for one article, but some general attributes should be made known. Thai temples, known as “wats”, have several physical features: “Prangs” are Khmer-style sanctuary towers. “Chedis” are bell-shaped memorials. “Mondops” are small square halls housing a Buddha image, often with a pyramidal roof. “Wihans” are assembly halls for all visitors. “Ubosots” are rectangular, boat-shaped, ordination halls for monks. They are usually off-limits to the laity. The ubosot is usually surrounded by eight “Sema” stone slabs (territorial markers) and a ninth one which is buried beneath the building’s center. In additon, many temples have living quarters for monks, galleries, and libraries. </p>\n<p>As you learn more about these features you can visualize how a ruin looked during its prime. You can read into some of the subtle symbolism in their construction. You can even identify common mythological figures such as the naga and garuda. However, all this knowledge only opens up doors to more questions. Some ruins don’t fit easily into the typical schema, they can be transitional or unique. Then a whole new series of hypothesis grow out of thin air. Knowledge bends flexibly in new directions. I have become older and educated, but still remain a naïve tourist. </p>\n<p>Countryside Ruins (North Ayutthaya):</p>\n<p>            The countryside temples north of Ayutthaya have always been the most mysterious to me. European cartographers almost never acknowledged them and most historical records about them have been destroyed. No guidebook mentions these ruins and tourists never go there. Local maps don’t even display or label the roads. Even the local TAT office pretends that they don’t exist. To make matters worse, the ruins can be very difficult to access. Northern Ayutthaya hasn’t been developed much. There are still many dirt roads and the few paved ones tend to be very narrow. Streets tend to be so thin that only one car can go down them at a time, and if somebody is driving from the opposite direction your in trouble. The roadway design is very maze-like. There are plenty of curvy roads and dead ends. I was often frustrated between 2000-2002 when I walked or bicycled around the north trying to find ruins. However, I knew that there were many in that area. I got close enough to observe silhouettes pointing at the sky. Although I knew nothing about these skeletal ruins the idea of new exploration was very exciting.</p>\n<p>            The mystery of the northern ruins began to unravel only a few months ago. Two popular posters on www.ajarn.com and www.teakdoor.com (Marmite and the Goddess of Whatever) recently visited me in Ayutthaya. I took them on a boat tour of small canals in Ayutthaya which are full of wildlife. The next day we hit the ruins. Little did I know at the time that this would soon become my most comprehensive tour of Ayutthaya ruins ever. The Goddess was well supplied with an air-conditioned car, and Marmite was well armed with import wine and a digital camera. We visited temples in all direction, including the “Ayothaya” tour mentioned earlier. Somehow both of them escaped temple burnout at the end of the day, so I leapt at the chance to see what we could find in the north. </p>\n<p>            We promptly got lost in the middle of a rice field. But, it was close enough to know that we were on the right track. We could see silhouettes of skeletons scraping the sky. We backtracked until we located an oracle of a family market where a few locals were drinking their afternoon alcohol – bottles of strong, locally fermented, rice wine. The Goddess was elected to ask for directions, since she speaks fluent Thai. Nearly all the men volunteered to take her there in person – after all, she is a goddess for a very good reason – but, the men were intimidated by the manly physiques of Marmite and myself. Our rippling muscles of manliness scared them away. But, the Goddess still scored us the divine information that we were seeking. Within minutes a new door of perception had been opened.</p>\n<p>            We stood in front of a large ruin called Wat Paya Man. The abandoned temple once had a moat encircling it, which still makes it difficult to drive to. Now, it has become a popular hangout for neighborhood teenagers. The main wiharn is covered with tiny niches along its alter and inner walls. Buddha images might have been placed inside them. This style is remarkably similar to Ayutthaya’s oldest temple, Wat Phanancheong. However, the complex chedis also have cubbyholes where larger images might have been placed. This style is not as common. While exploring this old abandoned temple the goddess found a yaba pipe. Teenagers have started to use this temple as a place to discretely smoke dope (I also found needles and syringes here at a later date). The remoteness of this ruin allows all kinds of mischief. </p>\n<p>            Afterward, we visited Wat Jongkrom. This ruin has a large hollow chedi that one can circle around while inside. It has niches built into its inner walls where Buddha images might have been. Next, we found Wat Chao Yaa. The original chedis were built in the middle Ayutthaya period, but outside the temple walls were two unique two-story towers. Buddhist monks used them for meditation. Only one person could fit on each floor, but there was probably an amazing view from its windows. We also stumbled onto Wat Phra Ngam where there was the remains of a two-story residential hall of King Borommakot (1732-1758). Its bell tower showcased a late period prang. The chedis in this area are unique: they are often tall and thin, rather than bell chaped, as if marking a transition between early and middle periods. Marmite, the Goddess, and I played around the ruins until sunset struck. Then it was time to go home. However, my experience with them felt like a conquest. After all these years I had finally explored the temples in the north. It was a victory. I had been taken to the unknown, but that is what always happens whenever the Goddess of Whatever is in charge.</p>\n<p>            The next week I took my students to the same locations. Not one of them had ever seen or heard of any of these ruins before. I hyped up this journey to students all week. When the time came, our Rajabhat mini-van was loaded once again with 12 of the most beautiful and accommodating female tour guides in Thailand’s future (life is tough as an English teacher). I took them to Wat Toom first. This active temple is located on the far outskirts of the north. The highlight is a crowned Buddha image that fills up with sacred water. Water magically gathers inside the Buddha’s head. Students told me there is no scientific explanation for it. Monks sometimes scrape the water out and visitors are allowed to drink it. I saw three of my students go for it. Who am I to turn down such an opportunity? I drank a glass of Buddha head juice while the students were watching. I imagined it as drinking the liquefied thoughts of Lord Buddha. That type of beverage had to be good for the soul. Actually, the water really had a kick to it. It made my head feel like it was elongating. I was a little self-conscious about this in front of my students. You can’t very well be leading students on a tour with an elongated head. What would their parents say? But, luckily, an expanding head usually makes me feel wiser. Therefore, I latched onto the role of a teacher once again. </p>\n<p>Our class walked around Wat Toom for a while. There is a life-sized elephant on site, but it has the unfortunate disposition of having three heads. I thought that my vision was just blurred. My students called it “Chang Erawan”, but the monks still wouldn’t allow our class to touch it. We meandered over to a very surrealistic chedi that my students claimed was in “Indian” style. However, I have been all over India and have never seen anything like it. The chedi reminds me of a space ship. There is a large ring of lotus blossoms encircling it, but they have hollow centers like the portholes of a boat. Suddenly, I started getting prophetic revelations: I could have my students design brochures for the northern area They could create maps. They could start a webpage for countryside temples. Before I knew it, my students were coaxing me back into the mini-van. Their curiosity was peeking. They wanted to explore the other ruins. I was their guide for the day, so I wanted to set a nice example.</p>\n<p>To my embarrassment I got immediately lost. We took a wrong turn and ended up in the middle or a rice field. The water from Buddha’s head must have kicked in. As we backtracked I distracted students from my mistake with a brief lecture about tour guiding – and the importance of memorizing maps and bringing mobile phones in case of emergency. They fell for the tactic and I saved face. I just didn’t want them to notice my elongated head. When we made our exit, however, we stumbled onto a ruin that I never knew existed before. Wat Khae is a major complex. It has four gigantic chedis, two of which were build in the early Ayutthaya period. One chedi was surrounded by a second layer, which has peeled away revealing the original intact. Another chedi is surrounded by the limited remains of Buddha images. There are hundreds of Brahmin cows grazing everywhere. Best of all, I discovered a way that this temple could be accessed with a long-tail boat ( a new tour in the making). </p>\n<p>            Our class continued to find ruins in the area that none of us had heard of before. One ruin, Wat Ta-Krai, stood out because it had a gateway of Bodhi trees that tourists could walk under. Some temples that we saw couldn’t even be identified by name. This area had once been the source for handicrafts, ceramics, and bricks; but little information is actually written about it beside that. The entire northern area continued to unfold before us. I took students to Wat Jongkrom next. Few students were willing to peek inside the hallow chedi because they claimed it smelled too strongly of bat shit, which gave me the opportunity to teach them the word “guano”. A handful of natural tour guides plugged their noses for a look inside. They had also caught the bug of curiosity.</p>\n<p>            Our final stop was at Wat Paya Man. To my horror, in only one week it had been vandalized. More yaba pipes, made out of aluminum foil, were scattered all over the main wihan. In the doorway was a thick layer of graffiti. On the staircase was a soiled pair of women’s underwear. It was the panties that disturbed my female students most. I insisted that students photograph this desecration of the temple. It was at this moment that I realized one common trait about the northern ruins. They were all thoroughly picked clean. There are no Buddha heads remaining. Any valuable stucco figures have been removed. The drawback of temples remaining remote is that they are easy to steal from. These ruins are vulnerable because they remain out of public view. Perhaps they can be better protected if they are made known to tourists in the future. For this reason alone I am letting the secret out. </p>\n<p>            Later that night I babbled incoherently about this tour to friends at Ong’s bar. One of the expatriates that overheard me was an engineer from South Africa. The curiosity about unknown ruins enticed him. He was a kindred spirit in the pursuit of knowledge – and he also owned a car. That weekend we made one more round of the temples in the north. I thought I had finally known this new layer of ruins, but they continued to unravel before me. </p>\n<p>The two of us promptly got lost. But, in the process of finding our way out we stumbled on grander experiences. We visited Wat Sam Wihan where there is a 600-year old, 21 meter long reclining Buddha image. We accidentally crossed into Wat Mae Nang Pleum. This temple is noted for Khmer style lions that encircle an enormous main chedi, probably from the first Ayutthaya period (or maybe earlier). This chedi has the best preserved lion structures in the city. It’s wihan was built in a Chinese style during the beginning of Ayutthaya. The two of us even tracked down a very obscure ruin that was still under excavation. After asking around the neighborhood it was identified as Wat Po. Absolutely nothing is printed about it in English.</p>\n<p>            One of our final stops was at Wat Paya Man. By now this temple was heavily covered with graffiti. Teenage vandals had scribbled across the walls of the main wiharn. They covered the niches where Buddha images once stood with thick black ink. More yaba pipes cluttered the ground. Even the few historical plaques manufactured by the Fine Arts Department were missing. The vandalism had quickly grown out of hand. The locals youths no longer appreciate these temples as sacred. For this reason, above all, I thought I would stress the importance of the northern countryside temple tour to my students. Once they create a new area for tourists to visit more rigid measures will be made to crack down on abuse. With this knowledge steps can be made to culture something more positive.</p>\n<p>Conclusion: Reading the Bones:</p>\n<p>            What do we know about Ayutthaya’s ruins, really? We have the bones of physical structures, the marrow of reflective thought, the flesh or maps and various documents, the skin of academic theories, and the viscera of raw experience – seeing and feeling these places with our own senses. We teachers are hunters and gatherers of knowledge. We collect and distribute data as we see fit. But, this body of knowledge remains fluid. Our perceptions and theories change as new information is found over time. All it takes is the discovery of a few scrolls buried in a ceramic jar, then new layers of questions unravel. </p>\n<p>            Students retain information about English by placing it in mental folders. They file data away every day in class (adverb folders, idiom folders, punctuation folders, vocabulary folders, things I have to do for a good grade folders, etc.). The more often that students open these dormant folders, the quicker they can access the contents inside. I learn about Ayutthaya ruins by placing information in folders for tours, maps, academic theories, local history, Thai cosmography, architectural structures, classroom activities, and personal experiences. Within these stacks is the body of tangible knowledge. But, there will always be empty spaces left for unanswered questions. These gaps are what fuels education. Meanwhile, we piece together skeletal remains. </p>\n<p>            Technology expedites the process of learning. The Internet is a quick way to locate information. Shortly after a tour, the South African engineer visited the Google Earth website. This sites uses satellite images to provide extremely detailed maps. My friend telescoped to Ayutthaya city. After studying the tour sites of northern temples he was able to detect even more structures that might be ruins. We could return to the area to peel off more layers. Shortly later, I caught one of my students doing the same thing. I was immensely pleased to see her take the incentive on her own. She showed me the map displayed on screen. The website has a function that allows viewers to tilt the screen at a different angle. When this student tilted the view I was shocked by how much that angle reflected the maps of early European cartographers. We could see Ayutthaya Island from the south at a slightly aerial viewpoint. Lightning does strike twice, but never with the same form. </p>\n<p>            Sometimes the most basic and primitive techniques can be the most effective. One day another student presented me with a map that showed the exact location of every temple in Ayutthaya. Our class could place names to the dots one day. We could put this data on a website one day as a future project. She also provided me with a list of over 100 ruins in Ayutthaya. She had translated it herself. The list was sectioned in the four directions and a fifth that focused on temples directly inside the island. For me, personally, this was like the discovery of the Rosetta stone. All of a sudden I had context and scale. I had direction for future research. My student found all this data by simply finding a proper resource. She visited the Fine Arts Department in Ayutthaya and picked up one of their books. It was written only in  Thai, so I never knew it existed before. The true honor is that she hunted for this information on her own. Our tour made her curious, so she wanted to learn more. </p>\n<p>            The final tests were given back to me by students yesterday.  I let them take the exams home, so they could work on them for one entire week. I wanted to know what they truly thought about the five tours that our class had developed. Surprisingly, their favorite tour was of Wat Muang. I thought that they didn’t enjoy it as much since many were frightened of the life-sized statues of hell. At that time many students vanished from sight. However, Wat Muang grew on them over time. Memories about the experience grew stronger. Many of them wanted to go back and see it again. </p>\n<p>Students felt that the countryside ruin tour (eastside) would be the easiest one to manage. The temples were clustered close together and they were easy to get to by tuk-tuk. My students reasoned that this tour could be done at a reasonably low price. The tour that they thought would be least successful, to my disappointment, was the one of countryside ruins in the north. For me they are the most exciting ruins of all. However, students believed that it would be too difficult to convince tourists to see them. They are tricky to find and there is an astonishing lack of information available about them. Students wondered how they could create interest in this niche tour without enough information to promote them. The tour of the floating village in Sena was well loved. It was ranked a close second as their favorite tour. However, it is off the beaten track. Many students doubted that tourists could be convinced to go there. The few students who went on our riverboat eco-tour loved it. They were surprised that tourists would be interested in these small canals since they don’t have the largest or most exciting temples. It was commonplace Thai lifestyle. However, virtually every westerner and Japanese tourist who I took on this eco-tour liked it much more than the standard ring around the island by long-tail boat.</p>\n<p>The final tests have been handed in and this class is officially over. There will be a lot of high grades issued. My students really impressed me with some of their work. For the final exam many of them included CDs of photographs and found special maps that can be used in the future. Others typed of the work on computer so that it would look very professional. They went the extra mile. I look forward to next semester when we can build on these tours with more depth. Some of the students even came up with new ideas for fresh tours in future classes. Who knows, maybe we will test them one day. Ultimately, this class helped students create something new in Ayutthaya. Time will tell if they actually put these tours into use to make money. However, the success of this class goes beyond the tours. The true success is that I made them curious. They wanted to learn more about the city they lived in. Curiosity is the key that opens the door of knowledge. So what do we know about Ayutthaya, really? A hell of a lot more then before the class started. </p>\n<p>Ken May</p>\n<blockquote><p>References:</p>\n<p>Breazeale, Kennon (ed.). From Japan to Arabia: Ayutthaya’s Maritime Relations with Asia.

At least, that is what I sometimes do. I had prepared another flawless lesson plan. It was all set up in advance. Two German guidebook writers were in town, the school mini-van was reserved, and my students were primed and ready to go. The plan was to take them all on a surprise tour. I would introduce them to some obscure ruins that they have never seen before. My students, in turn, would need to explain these sites to the German travel writers. My goals were to encourage the element of spontaneity and to break them from the habit of pre-memorized speech. It all worked in theory, until Children’s Day was announced. The university needed the van to deliver toys to little bambinos across the city. Our mini-van reservation was cancelled one day before our scheduled tour. So it was the children’s fault, really, that I had to adlib in front of class. It was a holiday for children. What could I do? </p>\n<p>The night before class I turned off my European mobile phone, poured myself an energy drink made from Chinese mystery herbs, and turned up the volume to some Arabic metal music (Rachid Taha and Aisha Kandisha). Berber grunge at 2:00 AM is probably what did it, but somehow I started getting wild ideas. I began wondering why there are so many Muslims living in Ayutthaya. There are over 131,000 Muslims in the Ayutthaya province, which is the 3rd highest rate in Thailand, excluding the south. Naturally, I looked first into Ayutthaya’s historical past. Muslims first settled in the Ayutthaya kingdom from Persia, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Cambodia (more about this in an upcoming article). One important Muslim advisor, who took high office in the Ministry of Interior, is entombed on our university property. Sheikh Ahmed settled in Ayutthaya in 1595 from Persia, and even local Buddhists still pay respect at his shrine. However, this information failed to answer my overriding question: Why did so many Muslims return to Ayutthaya after its fall in 1767? This single question would later motivate this entire article and the next day’s lesson plan. My mental “hijab” started to lift.</p>\n<p>Historians really love dates. They need dates to give life value and context. The Ayutthaya period is often listed as 1350-1767. Some detail-oriented historians argue that the Ayutthaya period actually began in 1351, and perhaps this has led to a few fistfights around the campus coffee machine. Then big league players such as David Wyatt get called up to referee and settle disputes. The truth is that these dates are bullshit. Ayutthaya existed way before Prince U-Thong established himself here, and the city continued existing long after the Burmese invaded in 1767. The only variable vanishing was an empire; the soul of Ayutthaya lived on. A tree doesn’t die in winter when its leaves are surrendered a hinter, and grass doesn’t cease growing after a summer mowing. Life comes back. However, most textbooks maintain the lie of Ayutthaya’s demise. The Burmese breached the city walls, stole all the gold, vandalized the temples, and killed everybody or forced them into slavery. Fires, famines, and epidemics ignited. Then the chapter ends. Ayutthaya ceases to exist even as an ellipsis point. The next chapter begins in Thonburi or Bangkok – depending on which edition. </p>\n<p>In honor of the Chinese new year, I spent the rest of the night trying to stamp a fresh date into history books: the new Ayutthaya period (1767 to 2006). I wanted to revive the missing chapter. How did people repopulate Ayutthaya? How did Ayutthaya survive? Historians focus too hard on political leaders and major wars, when a more powerful story can be told about a people’s struggle to remain alive. Maybe the soul of Thailand can be seen in how families revived a conquered territory. I slowly pieced together the skeleton of a lecture. I located a limited supply of information, which I hoped would be enough to trigger the interest of students. The truth is that my class was the best resource. Students had grandparents with stories to tell. They knew old people in their neighborhood who could color in empty spaces. My goal was to make them curious. Alright, I admit I was still winging it, but with the mini-van reserved for toy runs I had few options. It was the children’s fault. I blame it on the children.</p>\n<p>The Lecture:<br />\nWhen Ayutthaya was sacked, in 1767, survivors fled in all directions. Power centers shifted for a brief while to Issan (Phimai), the southern peninsula (Nakhon Si Thammarat), and the north (Fang and Phitsanulok). However, the Burmese were never able to hold the city for long. Ayutthaya was liberated within seven months by a mysterious Thai-Chinese character who had governed in the Tak province, who went by the name of Sin. King Taksin realized that Ayutthaya could still be used as a defense base against future invasions, although it was too ruined to serve as the capital city any longer. Taksin quickly allowed citizens to move to Ayutthaya to rebuild the city. Many of these people came from the power centers listed above. Taksin appointed a close relative to govern the ransacked empire (Praya Inthara Aphai). </p>\n<p>Many people continued to die from starvation and disease over the next few years. Rice fields were pillaged to salvage whatever grains that remained. Roving bands of people survived only by raiding tombs for the gold and silver that the Burmese missed. Bandit gangs robbed and looted. King Taksin needed to find wealth to finance his continued fight against the Burmese, so he sent expeditions to Ayutthaya to track down hidden treasures. Supposedly, the Chinese had a particular skill in locating gold. They were able to haul away shiploads of valuables. King Taksin also had huge sections of forts and palaces torn down to supply bricks for the new capital. The loss of protective walls allowed flood waters to flow in causing swamps. It has to be said that this period could be defined as the second ransacking of the fallen Ayutthaya empire. </p>\n<p>Thai people soon nicknamed Ayutthaya “Muang Krung Kao (the Old City)”. Many Thai and Chinese gradually returned to the area because the soil remained fertile. The city was still a good location to transport goods since several rivers passed through it. Residents worked as merchants, farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, and raised livestock. Nearly all of them lived on raft boats or in housing off the island. Curiously, there seems to be few early attempts by citizens or royalty to permanently relocate inside the walls of the former kingdom. This would soon start to change. After the execution of Taksin, in 1782, who possibly went insane while still in power, King Rama I took interest in Ayutthaya. He ordered some temples to be rebuilt. In addition, King Rama I constructed the Chang Bridge, which was the first one to ever link the island city to the mainland (bridges were never allowed before for defensive reasons). The front palace (now the Chan Kasem museum) was reconstructed to serve as his residence during visits to the old city. Governors and civil servants lived nearby. The economic and political base of the “Old City” was shifting to the northeastern part of the island into an area known as Hua Ror. </p>\n<p>Ayutthaya’s population remained very low. When French priest Pallegoix was permitted by King Rama II to visit Ayutthaya, in 1834, he estimated that the population was only about 40,000 – down from a peak of over one million people. However, Ayutthaya would experience a relative population boom in 1855 after King Rama IV signed a major trade agreement with England to import rice. The Hua Ror market became the most important business center for Ayutthaya. The Chinese played a major role in this rice trade because they transported supplies by boat from small remote villages to warehouses located at the market. For the first time in Ayutthaya history, its population density was highest in the north, especially between Klong Sa Bua and Wat Tong Pu. Muslims started moving into the northwest area known as Hua Laem. Traders began to move off the river onto land. Gambling dens and brothels began to proliferate along Hua Ror. After a fire burned them down in 1897 they were granted permission to reconstruct them. </p>\n<p>King Rama V played a progressive role in Ayutthaya’s development. He made the city the provincial capital in 1894 and promoted Ayutthaya as the regional education center (ultimately leading to the creation of our rajabhat university). King Rama V had the first railroad built that connected Ayutthaya with Bangkok. Merchants would take the train to Bangkok in the morning and return to Ayutthaya by mail boat (described by locals as either the “Green Boat” or “Red Boat”). King Rama V had the first road built inside the island, which completely encircled it. The majority of the population still lived on boats, and there weren’t any motor cars, so U-Thong Road made little sense. It is not completely clear whom U-Thong Road was actually designed for, but it might have served as a symbol of modernization and progress. The latter construction project is also bewildering, since Rama V later decided that the island would be a preserved area. In 1908, he declared that nobody could own property or land titles on the inner island. </p>\n<p>During the reign of King Rama VI life became even more prosperous. By 1921, there were so many river boats and raft houses that, according to Phraya Boran Ratchathanin, they lined the banks all the way from Chan Kasem to the railway station. The Thai culture and lifestyle still evolved around its rivers and canals. Boats doubled as restaurants, shops, and family homes. Ayutthaya was a city of river taxis, ferry shuttles, mail service boats, barbershop boats, migrating handicraft boats, fishermen dugouts and floating markets. A small community of treasure hunters made a living by seeking the gold, silver, and cargo of sunken boats. About 50-60 of these men continue this practice today, although they have since moved from Pom Phet to Hua Laem. Most of the inner island could still be explored due to its elaborate canal system, but sections had become swampland or overgrown with weeds. Temples had been hidden by trees and chedis buried in brush. The island was considered haunted by many residents and there was plenty of poisonous snakes. A few locals ventured inside to harvest fruits or vegetables, but nobody stayed long enough to do much trade. </p>\n<p>The absolute power of the monarchy was put to an end when a new constitutional government was installed by coup in 1932. The Ministry of Finance leadership, under Pridi Phanomyoung, who would later become a Prime Minister, heavily invested in the city infrastructure. A military base was developed in the northern Hua Laem area, the new Rochana Road linked the city to its east, and the first bridge crossing the Pasak River was built. After the Pridi-Thamrong Bridge was completed, in 1932, the river became a much slower form of travel than road. Therefore, roads were sometimes built over former canals. The new motor age was being superimposed over the traditional river-oriented livelihood. More importantly, in terms of real estate, Pridi Phanomyoung, who had a family background in Ayutthaya, approved legislation in 1938 that allowed land titles to be sold for territories inside the island. In the beginning only military officials and civil servants could own land, but eventually commoners were allowed to purchase it, too. For the first time in Ayutthaya history, any Thai citizen could formally buy and own the land inside the island. </p>\n<p>During the reign of Field Marshall Phibun Songkhram (1948-1957) Ayutthaya was heavily developed in the name of progress. Between 1951-1957 Thailand received $149 million in economic aid and $222 million in military aid. Phibun had national highways constructed using large amounts of these funds from the United States. The new Wang Noi-Ayutthaya Highway linked the city to its surrounding provinces such as Angthong, Lopburi, and Saraburi. The Asian Highway also connected cities as far away as Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Buses and cars could easily navigate around Thailand in a short time. By the 1950s, tuk-tuks had started to filter into Ayutthaya. They had been first developed in Japan after World War II and later imported into Thailand as cheap transportation. </p>\n<p>Motorized long tail boats were first introduced to Thailand’s water highways after the second world war, which was objected to by raft owners due to the loud noise and sudden waves. In 1957, Ayutthaya’s river lifestyle was permanently altered with the completion of the Chao Phraya Dam and the Phumiphon Dam. During monsoon season raft owners moved to the numerous canals to escape harsher currents, but the sporadic opening and closing of the dams was unpredictable so it created havoc on their homes. People started to move onto dry land, which had recently been made available for purchase. Thus, Ayutthaya Island became the city’s population center for the first time in nearly 200 years.</p>\n<p>Ayutthaya had fully entered its modern age. Money poured into the city to develop a large number of new factories, create a provincial banking center, renovate destroyed ruins, drain swamplands, and construct more roads over ancient canals. Most of the former city walls were removed (if they hadn’t already been taken). Some locals insist that a few monuments and temples had been destroyed in the process. In fact, there are many ghosts stories about the supernatural punishment of culprits who had disturbed the past. In ways these horror stories helped locals to collectively deal with changing times. The pain of the lost empire was being literally dug up once again. The face of Ayutthaya Island was permanently altered. Modern change struck quickly. The use of Ayutthaya’s river systems for trade and transportation had become nearly obsolete. People were letting go of old traditions and new industries were taking over. Then the English teachers came, but that is another story. </p>\n<p>The Tourism Organization of Thailand was formed in 1959. From the beginning, Ayutthaya was earmarked as a prime tourist destination. The Fine Arts Department struggled to preserve its national treasures. Precious artifacts and rare amulets were lying around everywhere. A new wave of looters, bandits, and corrupt policemen set out to steal from what remained. A very small population of lost travelers trickled into Ayutthaya during the 1970s while the Vietnam War was being fought nearby. Early tourists stayed in Chinese-operated hotels in the Hua Ror market. A few of them slept in local homes before guesthouses were slapped together to house them. By the mid-1980s, the formation of a tourist ghetto, nicknamed Khao Sarn Ayutthaya, had taken primitive shape on a dirt road, south of Hua Ror market. Thailand created its first tourism promotion campaign under the slogan of “Visit Thailand Year 1987”. In 1991, Ayutthaya was approved by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The new era of tourism had been born. Nowadays, my students were poking around this chaotic world trying to find jobs as tour guides. They had taken for granted the recent history that led to this choice. Ayutthaya is a reincarnated city. My students are part of the process of keeping it alive. </p>\n<p>The Assignment:<br />\nI intended this lecture to demonstrate that most of this history is recent. It is early enough to be remembered by either their parents or grandparents. The process of buying land and moving onto it was only within the last few generations. Therefore, the history is still alive. The tourism industry that thrives in Ayutthaya today began in their parent’s lifetimes. All this history can still be recorded through oral narratives. And that is exactly what I provoked them into doing.<br />\nDuring the lecture I broke out maps and asked them to point to the locations mentioned above. I encouraged them find remote canals and temples not recognized on maps. I prodded them with questions about the origins of their families in Ayutthaya: Why did your family come here? When did your ancestors first arrive? Where did they build a home? What is your ethnic background? How did your grandparents make a living? Students had to discuss their own history to me using English. Most of the information was already stored somewhere in their heads. They had to place their family origins into context, so they could later write about it. More importantly, they had to create a document that could be used by future generations to understand the rebirth of Ayutthaya. </p>\n<p>I was particularly interested in personal ethnographies. Ayutthaya is a city of surprising cultural diversity. The population of modern Ayutthaya is made up of people from Thailand, China, Malaysia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Lao, and Vietnam. Historians insist that these new communities aren’t directly linked to the former empire, but it is interesting that so many ethnic villages sprouted up in similar locations as in the past. Like a rebooted computer, the city socially sought similar patterns. Many students live inside the exact zone where their ethnic groups were originally located before. There was a clear palimpsest that linked back to the past empire. For example, the Chinese now live near Wat Phanacheong and Wat Suwannaram (like before). Many Muslims returned to the area around Klong Takian and Ban Kacha. Vietnamese Christians returned to Ban Yuan near St. Joseph Church (a large number of them coming from a refugee camp in Bangkok to settle). Ayutthaya’s rebirth was like a flock of birds instinctively migrating to seasonal habitats of the generations that preceded them. </p>\n<p>I handed each student two pages worth of question. They were instructed to conduct a 15 question interview with somebody who was at least 65 years old. The participant could be a grandparent, a relative, a next door neighbor, a monk, or somebody that they met at the market. It didn’t matter to me. What I wanted was one constructive action where each student learns from an elder. I am not the only teacher in this village. This was descriptive writing. In a rare gesture I promised them that spelling and grammar wouldn’t matter. They could make all the mistakes they want. I didn’t care. I even encouraged them to make mistakes, because it was all part of the learning process. I didn’t want them to get bogged down with complicated syntax. My objective was to gather as many details as possible. How carefully were they willing to dig? The grade would be entirely based on them teaching me more about Ayutthaya.</p>\n<p>The Results I (The Teacher Interviews):<br />\nAs a rule, I never ask my students to do anything that I wouldn’t be willing to do myself. If I require them to design a tour, then I will also labor at the same task. If I demand that they write a two page report, then my pen will be scrawling on paper at the exact same time. Since the assignment was based on interviews I conducted two of them on my own. As a foreign visitor I lack access to the target group, because I don’t know any Thais over 65 who can speak English. I was limited and confused about how to approach my interviews. When confronted by a problem it helps to speak with somebody who can listen. That is exactly what I did. </p>\n<p>In honor of research I headed to the nearest bar and interviewed the owner. Actually, he is a good friend and local celebrity. He built this bar with his own hands; carving all the furniture and painting each picture on the wall. The bar was constructed on the exact location as his childhood home. He knows the area very well. But, luckily tourists will never be able to find his place, because his bar doesn’t have any name. Ong doesn’t want it publicized because he feels people should find it by heart. So with a toast in honor of his good heart we sat down together for an interview.</p>\n<p>Ong (age 45): As far as he knows his ancestors lived in Ayutthaya before 1767. His family returned to Ayutthaya from Sukhothai in the north, because the former was becoming a big city. His grandfather is Thai and his grandmother is Chinese. When they moved to his present home, which is located inside the island on its southern side (by U-Thong Road), the family staked this territory out with wooden poles. It was purchased from a government official. The property was located on a swamp land and had to be drained before living there. At that time, all houses had to be made from wood in the Thai style. The family hunted and fished for food, but paid for rice with money. Wild boar lived on the other side of Chao Phraya River, but every boy in the neighborhood could swim across to hunt them. Nobody wore shoes, in fact, it was even looked down on to wear them. </p>\n<p>There were no cars, very few bicycles, and U-Thong Road was still made out of pot-holed dirt. As a child he remembers finding Buddha images and artifacts all over the neighborhood, however it would have been considered disrespectful to take them. If you dug a hole to plant a tree you might have discovered plates, cups, or amulets (it sounded to me like finding plastic soldiers in a sandbox back in the United States). He developed his English skills mostly by practicing with tourists. He had at one time moved to Bangkok to study art and make money as a musician. As an adult he believes that Ayutthaya needs to improve its rivers and canals, as well as revive old temples. The advice he gives my students is to make Ayutthaya an important city. They must improve their lives with education and help foreigners understand about Ayutthaya.</p>\n<p>The next interview was conducted immediately after I left Ong’s bar. I was inspired at the ease of gathering information. I had known my friend for several years, but never learned about his family history. On a whim, I jumped on a motorcycle taxi to the Moon Café. The owner was also a friend of mine. We bonded back in 2000 over a dish of king cobra and a glass of snake blood - with the bile sack still floating on top like an ice cube (I can send the story to anyone interested). </p>\n<p>Chai was lamenting about the recent edition of Lonely Planet, which arrogantly called him a violent person. Nobody from Lonely Planet ever asked for his side of the story, nor did they place this slander into context. In America, the guidebook would have been quickly slapped with a lawsuit, but what right of address does a small businessman from a developing country have against such a powerful and wealthy western corporation? Speaking quite frankly, some tourists could use a slap for their behavior. I have seen them grab the breasts of female workers, demand discounts with the false claim that they are a LP writer, and generally act like a third generation colonist. I sometimes feel like throwing some of the tourists out myself. Our meeting was timed right, so we were able to speak candidly. Unfortunately, as the evening progressed my note taking rapidly diminished from too many drinks. I had to return a few days later to make sure that I had recorded it correctly. </p>\n<p>Chai (age, older than me): His family was originally based in Saraburi. Both his parents were Thai. His father, locally known as Mr. Hong, worked as a teacher, but moved to Ayutthaya after switching jobs. His father worked as a government officer at the Ayutthaya courthouse. His employment required that he move around the province providing legal service, so he bought a boat house for his family to live on. It only costed 3,000 baht at the time. The family lived for many years on the boat, which was docked along the Pasak River. The Chao Phraya Dam had yet to be built. A common form of transportation was known as the “red boat”. Chai remembers taking the boat to Bangkok as a young child, and the shock of the overnight journey. People slept on the top floor and used the hull for storage and gathering. The river was very dangerous, because the rising level during monsoon season made the currents unpredictable. The raft’s location near a confluence was vulnerable to whirlpools. The family decided to move onto land after one of his siblings almost drowned. His father bought land from a government official. Their new home was located south of Hua Ror market on an unnamed street that would later be nicknamed Khao Sarn Ayutthaya (near Chao Phrom market). </p>\n<p>On land, as a child, Chai used to hunt for bee hives to sell. They also gathered a type of berry that made their mouths turn purple. Their family owned the only house in the neighborhood. There wasn’t yet a road, but the unpaved U-Thong was located to the nearby east. Many trees surrounded his home like a jungle. Occasionally, the area slightly flooded so that he could catch fish. Chai remembers seeing a few canals being filled with sand for future road construction. Most people lived in the Hua Ror market on boats. The area was known as China town. All the buildings were made out of wood, and a large fire had once destroyed many gambling dens. The people there spoke a Thai-Chinese mix. Many of them operated successful businesses, which crossed over to Chao Phrom market near his home. Their children were the best at sports and grades in Ayutthaya. One of his strongest memories was watching television for the first time. The broadcast was of the first walk on the moon and the entire village watched it together. </p>\n<p>His family was one of the first to welcome tourists. They shared their house with foreign visitors as a homestay. Backpackers slept on their floor. He learned to speak English from this interaction. When tourist visits increased too much for one home his family started the city’s first guest house in 1986. The accommodation was known by its more user friendly name of B.J. Guesthouse. The name was later changed to Ayutthaya Guesthouse in 1987, in recognition of Thailand’s first tourism promotion campaign (Visit Thailand Year 1987). A few hippy-friendly guesthouses opened up in the area in the 1980s (Toto, Lotus, Chantai, etc.). Before the mid-eighties travelers usually stayed in one of three Chinese hotels located at Hua Ror market. One significant event for him was when the Moon Café opened in 1994. He and his friends developed the place, so that travelers could stay up late at night partying. Too many arguments broke out at his guesthouse, because some people were trying to sleep. The Moon Café was designed to allow live music and late-night gatherings. Travelers even participated in its creation. It remains today as a prime gathering spot for westerners. The advice he gives my students is to learn by actually leading tours and interacting with travelers. Dialogues from a textbook aren’t too helpful. There are business elements that can only be understood first hand. </p>\n<p>The Results II (The Student Interviews):<br />\nI was surprised with how much energy some students put into these biographies. Some students included photographs and graphics with their reports. Most students could clearly understand what I wanted them to produce, however there were many complications in terms of articulation. None of the students have any background in anthropology, so this type of research was very unusual for them. It would be productive to return to this teaching exercise at a later date, so we can really build upon the English components. This class was for tourism majors, however, so I didn’t emphasize syntax too much. Mostly, I wanted them to practice speaking about their family background and the recent history of Ayutthaya. I wanted them to become familiar with such informal topics. Tourists often love this side information and it can really enhance their travel experience. </p>\n<p>Overall, the response was so good that I had a second class do they same biographic writing. The later was an English class, so I focused more on guided paragraph writing styles. In total, we have gathered 25 family histories. Ten random examples have been included below. I have paraphrased them into my own words. This should be enough for readers to get a better idea about how outcome might be improved with future research. </p>\n<p>Sanga (age 72) – Her family came to the Ayutthaya province over 50 years ago. She believes that her family originated in the Ban Mon area of the old empire (on the western side of the island), but they might have retreated to Bangkok for a short time. They now live with other people from the Mon ethnic group at Wat Kai-Teaw near Bang Pa-in. Many Muslims live in the nearby village of Kong Ta-Kiem, but her village is not Muslim. Journeys were very uncomfortable as a child. There were no roads in Ayutthaya and bamboo forests were located around their home. They used candles because there was no electricity. People worked in rice paddies and children often studied with monks at a temple, especially if it was a big family. Most people didn’t continue education beyond high school. Near her home she has discovered old plates and bowls by the river. She believes that Ayutthaya needs to promote its OTOP program more (one village, one product). Young people should return to their hometowns to help develop them. They need to respect their family and help elders. </p>\n<p>Say (age 72) – Her family came to Ayutthaya 72 years ago. She was born in this city and lives in an old house near the Chao Phraya River. She has a Mon heritage. They bought land from another family member and built their home by themselves. She has never found any artifacts near her home, but remembers many stories about the Burmese invasion. She believes that Ayutthaya needs to improve old monuments and develop the province. She wants young people to remember to come to Ayutthaya and study its history, because it is part of Thailand’s heritage. </p>\n<p>Sangworn (age 68) – His family originally came from Burma. They are Mon people who moved to Ayutthaya three years before he was born. His grandfather moved to Ayutthaya to become a politician in the Nakorn Loung district. His grandfather knew a soldier who sold him the property. Families survived by farming and small business. The family business was run as a cooperative. The Pasak River was the main resource for the Nakorn Loung people. Boats were used for transportation and trade. They bathed in the river and used its water for farming, but now there are cement and steel factories. The area has become an industrial complex. They can’t use the river anymore. As a child, he found some artifacts in his neighborhood. He calls them “meed aran yik” (toy knights?). They are made from iron and are very beautiful and strong. The Nakorn Loung Palace is located near this property. He remembers several ghost stories about thieves who were punished for stealing from ruined temples. Younger men used to go to festivals to meet girls and fall in love. Sangworn believes that Thai people should teach their offspring to have passion for their hometown. Ayutthaya needs to improve, but you have to improve first the people who live in Ayutthaya. He wants young people to love Thailand and be thankful for its culture and traditions. </p>\n<p>Mae (55) – Her grandfather came to Ayutthaya from Pakistan. He married a local woman who practiced Muslim traditions. They lived on the northern side of the island near the Pakistani mosque. When she was young the area was surrounded by forest. There were no homes or buildings in that part of the city. They bought the property from a friend and lived off the river with a big family. She believes Ayutthaya could improve the old places of the past. Young people should love the place where they live and preserve old buildings. </p>\n<p>Chor (age 70) – His family came to the area more than 70 years ago. The family has a Thai background, which they feel leads back to the old empire. They now live in the Bangban district in Angthong. As a child there were no roads. People used boats for all transportation. He worked as a farmer. Chor believes that Ayutthaya needs to clean up the garbage around the temples. World Heritage Sites shouldn’t be cluttered with litter. Young people should be proud of Thailand and love it. </p>\n<p>Ms. Sa-Nguon (age 82) – She originally came to Ayutthaya from Bangkok 41 years ago. She lives off the island in the Vietnamese (Yuan) district. There were many trees around her home at that time. It was quiet and not busy with traffic. The family lived in an old house without electricity. There were no televisions or electronic machines. She thinks that Ayutthaya needs to grow more trees. Younger people should preserve old places and behave themselves. </p>\n<p>Ladda (age 72) – She came to Ayutthaya before World War II. Her family lived in a slum in Bangkok (Sam Saen) as Vietnamese refugees. The King gave this land to the Yuan people. Her grandfather moved to the Sena district to get married. The new family rented land from the Catholic church for very cheap. The family fished for a living in the Sena canals. A French missionary, Father Broza, came to Sena to promote his religion. He was a friendly man who helped many people learn the English language. Father Broza wanted to build a school for the Catholic community, so he asked this family to help him purchase land. At that time foreigners could not buy Thai property, so her grandfather became owner of “Rad Bumrung Silp” school. Her grandfather tended the school and her family became teachers. Father Broza went back to France and a Portuguese priest, Father Leona De Jesus, took over. Ladda wants the government to help increase the education level of children in Ayutthaya. She feels that younger people should believe in God and go to church every week. </p>\n<p>Pa Chit (age 80) – She moved to Ayutthaya about 17 years ago. Her grandfather was Chinese, and he came to Ayutthaya to settle down and marry. Her family survived in the Hua Ror market as traders and shop keepers. She was given her current home by her father. She remembers that in 1967 temple looters would try to sell gold and gold leaves at the Hua Ror market. The treasure was considered state property. Allegedly, the thieves were punished by supernatural forces that made them sick or go crazy. She notes that there are more and more homes being built in the Hua Ror area. Teenagers like to ride noisy motorcycles very fast. She worries about this conduct. She believes that younger people should become interested in Buddhism and go to temples.</p>\n<p>Dang (age 78) – His grandfather came from China and married his grandmother who was Thai. They originally lived in Prachinburi. This place had many foreigners and most people worked as farmers. During World War II, his family moved to Ayutthaya. His sister got married so the family stayed. Transportation was very different between the two cities. In Prachinburi most people used trains, but in Ayutthaya the population used river craft. The canals and rivers of Ayutthaya were filled with boats. The family survived by gardening and growing mangoes, but they could not continue because their crops were destroyed during the second world war. He then got up early in the morning to sell pork by boat. Dang believes that the government should take care of Ayutthaya’s rivers and canals. Ancestors protected the city for 417 years. They sacrificed with their blood and their lives. Therefore, younger people must also take care of Ayutthaya. They need to learn more about the city and teach it to foreigners. </p>\n<p>Chamaiporn (age 69) – Her grandmother and grandfather both came from China. Her grandfather decided to conduct trade in Ayutthaya, so he brought his family to the city. Her family lived off the island opposite Hua Ror market, near the funeral pyre of Wat Prasat. There were many trees and temple in this area. There were many artifacts in the area: kitchenware and iron products. All the buildings were made from wood. They made their living at first by selling Moo Sa Tea (baked pork). Her aunt and mother bought a house together and shared it as a beauty shop (near Chamaiporn). She believes that the government should take better care of the canals and rivers. The streets should be cleaned more often because the city is a World Heritage Site. She feels that young people should take care of their family and be respectful. She wants the new generation to be industrious and honest.</p>\n<p>No name (age ?) – My family came to Ayutthaya around 1923. My grandmother told me that our ancestors are Pattani Muslims. The government ordered our family to migrate to central Thailand. When my ancestors came to Ayutthaya we conducted trade with Buddhist people. My grandparents lived on a raft boat because they couldn’t afford land. We lived off the island in the south. When my grandparents got richer they chose to buy land near the Chao Phraya River, because they traded by boat. That is where my house is now. After my grandparents died my parents worked the same trade. They didn’t have the knowledge to do any thing else. In those days few people had a good education. When my mother graduated from school she became a teacher. She has a good job. She wants me to be like her in the future and to have a good life.</p>\n<p>Conclusions<br />\nThis exercise should be followed up with in-class discussion and more intensive writing. The first drafts tend to be a little weak. I should have provided them with samples of my own interviews first. There is a lot of potential to build English skills. I could have students work more on clarity, sequence, pronoun matching, third person narratives, past tenses, and fine-lining details. There are many contradictions on dates (Buddhist vs. western calendars) and much confusion relating to pronoun use. For example, they are supposed to write with the third person narrative (about the interviewee), but students sometimes switched to their own first person voice. There are several misinterpretations of the actual questions that I asked. The answers sometimes don’t match. Words and phrases such as “artifacts” and “making a living” should have been made more precise. Place names are also confusing because Thai words can have numerous spellings when transliterated. As a teacher I need to become stronger. I have to understand the Thai language better and become acquainted with the names of small local villages. </p>\n<p>The next step would be to have students compare family histories to decide what is similar or different – to actually create a map of an older Ayutthaya. I will provide them with summaries of each report, so that my interpretation can be checked for accuracy. It will be interesting to learn if my understanding of their words was how students intended to write them. This activity did lead to a lot of discussion. It is fascinating how well these stories reinforced the lecture above. Perhaps I will require students to read a tamer version of it before their interviews in the future. Overall, the assignment was a success. It has a lot of potential. We have actually produced valid documents that can be used to understand the rebirth of the new Ayutthaya.<br />\nI never did fully answer my question about why Muslims returned to Ayutthaya, but this work was at least a good start. What I did learn, however, was how important the rivers, canals, and ruins still are for Thai elderly. There is a sense that the lifestyle of the true Ayutthaya will vanish, if children no longer stay here and develop respect for this past heritage. There is a persisting worry that it could all be lost. Perhaps this is the most important reason why this type of research is crucial for Ayutthaya. It all comes down to the children. It is the children of Ayutthaya, including my own students, that are responsible to keep this city alive. </p>\n<p><b>References:<br />\nGarnier, Derick. Ayutthaya: Venice of the East.

My love of this city’s waterways first struck me in the year 2000. I had just flew into Thailand for a new teaching job. Luck was with me. The first place that I looked at for housing was located right beside the Chao Phraya River. I rented the small stilted bungalow on the spot. There was no reason to look for anything else. After years of teaching abroad I had finally found what I was looking for. That night I was mesmerized by the brightly lit karaoke boats. In the morning I awoke to what sounded like neighbors mowing their lawn, and this noise turned out to be a long-tail boat full of tourists. There is a mysterious energy behind this Thai lifestyle. And I was curious and ripe for river exploration.</p>\n<p>I established a friendship with a Thai woman who had learned to operate her own boat by age thirteen. Her father had taught her before he died. Her family made their living with boat taxis. They spoke no English, but navigated the water well. They had to know the river; their home was located on a remote tributary. This woman was independent. She didn’t work for any tourism syndicate. She was just a single parent trying to support her family. We hit it off from the start. What I appreciated was her willingness to take me anywhere. Most tour operators merely made a circle around Ayutthaya Island, briefly stopping at two preset destinations. However, my friend allowed me to explore every small canal and to make lengthy excursions outside of Ayutthaya. I could stop randomly whenever something caught my eye. Soon enough I began to record patterns of local wildlife. I learned when elephants liked to bathe. I discovered the habitats of the giant monitor lizards. I acquired a sense of when the water hyacinths (what my boat chauffeur calls “the giant vegetables”) would clog canals to prevent passage. During this educational process, I fell in love with the classroom of the river.</p>\n<p>River tours quickly became my addiction. I visited the waterways every weekend. I taught my boat operator English and she gave me lessons about the river. However, this exploration all came to an end in 2002. The Chao Phraya, with all its powerful beauty, has its dark side. Every view years she likes to remind locals not to take her for granted. Shortly after the monsoon season my home was flooded. Entire houses filled with water. Children swam and fished inside the bedroom below my bungalow. Plumbing stopped working and rolling electrical blackouts complicated my day. Lizards and insects crawled into my home seeking higher ground. Frogs rooted around my kitchen. Large trees were carried away by rapidly moving water. The Chao Phraya River was having its revenge. My friend was prevented from docking her boat in front of my home. I knew it was time to go. I left Thailand for America.</p>\n<p>Take Me to the Bridge …<br />\nHarold Stephens, author of “The Chao Phraya: River of Kings”, writes that the famous 365 kilometer river is formed by four tributaries: the Wang (400km), the Yom (555km), the Ping (590km), and the Nam (627km). The Ping and the Nam meet at Nakhon Sawan, and this is where the Chao Phraya originates. Before Thailand’s river system became cluttered with bridges and dams, travelers could go all the way from the Gulf of Thailand to Chiang Mai – a six month long journey. In 1957, Thailand’s first major dam was constructed at Chainat above Ayutthaya, which permanently altered Thailand’s rice production center. The Bumibol Dam, completed shortly later in 1964, prevented long distance travel upriver; and the Saporn Bridge in Bangkok – also called the King Taksin Bridge – put an end to the passage of tall ships in 1976. Thailand’s river highway system have never been the same.</p>\n<p>Ayutthaya Island is formed by three rivers: The Chao Phraya, the Lopburi, and the Pasak (570km). A fourth river, the Noi, also runs through the Ayutthaya province. The main three rivers formed a natural boundary that was ideal protection from invaders. A moat was eventually dug on Ayutthaya’s eastern side that allowed the city to be completely encircled by water. This easily navigated land-locked island evolved into a thriving cultural center known by Europeans as the “Venice of the East”. There were more than 400 temples scattered around the city. Foreign nations were allowed to establish factories and residency camps off the island. The Chinese, who had conducted river trade with Thailand by its Sukothai period (1238-1350), established the earliest foreign relationships in Ayutthaya. The Portuguese made the first European contact in 1511. The Dutch (1605), the British (1612), and the French (1662) followed suit. Muslims from Persia and Malaysia also experienced significant diplomatic presence during this time. Many traces of these communities can still be found along the shores of the Chao Phraya. Ayutthaya remained Thailand’s capital (1350-1767) until it was destroyed by the Burmese. </p>\n<p>Harold Stephens was one of the early tourists to explore Ayutthaya’s waters in modern times. Like Joseph Conrad, who had sailed to Thailand in 1888, Stephens fell in love with the Chao Phraya. He lived along the water while outfitting his schooner, which he later sailed on Thailand’s river highways. Thailand has changed a great deal since this time, but Stephens continues his trips to Ayutthaya. I understand this craving. There is a part of me that also returns, like a rising tide trying to stretch its way into deeper territory. Therefore, I was surprised that Stephens skips a much needed chapter about Ayutthaya in this book. He provides readers with a detailed tour from the mouth of Bangkok to Bang Pa-In, then majestically leaps to the northern region around Chiang Mai. How can this gap be explained? As a teacher, I decided that I could provoke my students to write about Ayutthaya’s tour sites by themselves. They could do this research as part of my tourism class.</p>\n<p>Stepping into the Same River Twice …<br />\nFast forward to 2005. My return was anchored to a new situation. Students are now preoccupied with shopping malls, mobile phones, and western fashion. The rivers are too commonplace to cast that spell on them. Traditional fishing communities and boat operators are too often dismissed for having low social status. My students no longer felt any passion for boats. How then, could I help students to fall in love with their own rivers?</p>\n<p>As a teacher I pointed out the economic advantages of river tourism. I shared observations about how tourism had changed during my absence. It had gotten much more prominent. Tourists were staying longer. I acquired statistics from the local branch of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). Over 3 million tourists came to Ayutthaya last year, an increase by nearly 1 million since 1993. Tourist visits have risen in Ayutthaya despite the SARS virus, regional terrorism, rising oil costs, and the recent tsunami. Tourism revenue was nearly 4.5 billion Baht locally in 2004, an amount that has more than doubled in the past decade. Foreign tourists spend an average of 2,212 Baht per day. With this data, I tried to install a sense that this money could be in their pocket, if they developed strategic tours for untapped markets. I requested students to interview tourists and share the results in class. I wanted them to document recent trends and patterns. My goal was to convince them that Ayutthaya’s economic well-being could still be found in its rivers. </p>\n<p>The circle tour had really started to click with tourists. Many visitors were spending an extra day in the city just to see it by river. I could visibly count an increase of long-tail boats on the water since 2002. Groups were sharing boats that looped around Ayutthaya Island. Tourists usually made brief stops at Wat Phanachoeng to visit a 19-meter sitting Buddha image (that dates to the 14th century) and Wat Chaiwatthanaram to walk around its massive prang (a phallic tower designed in the Khmer architectural style). A trickle of more adventurous tourist were now venturing to Wat Phutthaisawan to see its hall of Buddha images and the reclining Buddha that hides inside its towering white prang. Some had even started going to the Elephant Kraal by boat. The standard tour lasted around two hours or less. A rare group of tourists were now taking converted rice barges all the way from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and staying at the more expensive hotels. Ayutthaya surges with the energy of change and development. </p>\n<p>The circle tour was now standard practice among students. Tourism majors had already undertaken this trip several times. I was the teacher who originally introduced students to this popular boat ride. It has since become a tradition at our university. The circle trip is an amazing journey, but I was looking for a different fix. I had already seen even the smallest temples a dozen times already. After my return, in 2005, it was the slow moving canals that fascinated me most. I craved the peace and quiet of the remote streams outside of Ayutthaya Island. The rivers are packed with wildlife. There are many exotic birds, a large number of lengthy monitor lizards, herds of bathing elephants, and even rare python sightings. Some of the local flora and fauna has retreated to these less disturbed areas. In addition, the countryside temple ruins tend to me more interesting because they are not manicured. Overgrown shrubs give them a more honest appearance of an ancient past. </p>\n<p>The problem is that tourists love to see big things. They flock to the biggest temples, the highest mountains, and the largest Buddha images. Small and ordinary objects are often stepped on along the way to grander destinations. However, simple village temples and scenic bends on a canal can be even more beautiful if the audience is willing to take the time to notice them. With this dilemma in mind, after watching the sun set with an orange glow from my new home beside the Chao Phraya River, I came up with a theory. I could renew my student’s love of their natural scenery if I help them step into a different river. They were getting immune to the basic circle tour, because they had experienced it so many times. The next day in class I promised them a new river to explore, one that we could float on for three hours without seeing a single tourist. I knew I could easily introduce them to a tourist-less boat ride, but my real gamble was that these small things had the power to put that spell over them.</p>\n<p>Into the Heart of Darkness (Eco-Tour #1) …<br />\nI lured students to the remote countryside with the bait of lunch. It works every time. Due to scheduling conflicts, we made a last minute appointment for a scorching Saturday afternoon. This group represented only 1/3 of class, since it was only a scouting expedition. I introduced them to my old friend, the boat operator. She had given us a discount. One goal was to encourage her to share knowledge about tour guiding with my students. In return, they would develop a brochure with a site map for her business. As karma unfolded, a former teacher at our university contacted me the night before. He had read my previous article on ajarn.com and realized that I was back in Thailand. He scurried onto the next bus, so that he could join us. I love it when a coincidence like this proves that people are actually reading my articles. However, I sort of dread the time when students discover that I am writing about them, which is why I am using extra perfect tenses this month just to confuse them. (Just in case: bonus points for any student that turns this article in with all past-perfect tenses circled. Due next Friday. No copying!).<br />\nI had worried about this excursion for several days. I wasn’t sure how my students would respond to it. We loaded the boat to maximum capacity and like Colonel Kurtz I began barking out questions: What is the name of that temple? Is there anything there worth seeing? What is that bird called? Can you find out its name in English? Gardenias? Where are the fields of gardenias? I tore out dreaded hyacinths from the river and dissected them with a sharp knife to display the critters living inside the “giant vegetables”. We pioneered down remote creeks to learn how deep they could be navigated. Many of Ayutthaya’s best river routes have been blocked by roads and enclosed gate ways. Our class prodded potential passageways. We charted unique sites along the quay. </p>\n<p>Our loyal boat operator taught us the names of obscure river pathways, and students translated them into English. The second teacher that joined us was supposed to play tourist, but his innate skills kicked in and he began to lecture instead. The students listened, repeated, and took occasional notes. Before long all three adults spontaneously combusted into educators. Rubba-dub-dub, three of us in a tub, and I was the candlestick maker. Our conversations flowed from recreation to reincarnation, and from lizard lairs to motor repairs. All three of us teachers optioned different methods. We splintered and pulled pupils from all directions. Then our calm little boat ride really began to get crazy. The confused students started to explain information to us. Each student specialized in something unique and they could introduce that information into our boat. They made spontaneous requests to alter our course. From the front of the boat, I made feeble attempts to seize authority and control. I wanted to provide communicative illumination. Meanwhile, students crowded around the center coming up with fresh ideas. The horror! The horror!</p>\n<p>As our boat coasted back to the shore of the city there was a quiet sense of peace. Something felt understated. I am not sure what it was. It was like I had smoked a left-handed cigarette or something. Anyway, my students took the bait. They became interested in the river. I was reeling them into a wave of fluvial learning. It must have clicked, because the following week I caught them designing a classroom trip to Ko Samet. There were making plans for a holiday vacation together.</p>\n<p>The River of No Return (Eco-Tour #2) …<br />\nSuthon Sukphisit, in “The Vanishing Face of Thailand”, writes about an unusual floating village that is located inside the Ayutthaya province. This town had once been part of an important trade line connecting Bangkok to Suphanburi. Homes, markets, and local businesses once floated on a canal. The buildings were constructed on top of bamboo buoys that adjusted to the level of the water. The buildings could rise during flood season and sink at times of drought. Two temples stood beside the canal bank, and both these rivals are notorious for legendary fighting. Recent road construction has nearly brought the village’s gentle lifestyle to an end. Boat owners were forced to lift their rafts out of the water and place houses on stilts. This requirement was at an exorbitant cost that many owners could not afford. A new canal was dug to relocate the homes of those who couldn’t pay. The progressive development of new roads, fueled by massive construction contracts, was bringing the old architectural style its demise. I was immediately enticed by the idea of visiting. </p>\n<p>The floating village, Ban Chao Ched, is part of a small town called Sena. Its remote canal fed into the Noi River. This information made me smile, because I had finally found a new river to step in. I immediately arranged to go exploring. Three of my students lived in Sena and two of them had already enrolled in this class. I plied them with questions about the floating village. To my surprise they claimed that it didn’t exist. How could that be? There had to be at least a few holdouts floating on the water. Suthon Sukphisit’s book was published in 1997, surely the floating village couldn’t have evaporated since then. I sent them back into the field for more research. The floating market in Bangkok has led to big money for the city’s tourism industry. I hoped that the local officials in Sena would have had the same foresight. However, even after a second round, they reported that there was no floating village. Yet, during this learning process, the students had come up with an unique plan of their own.</p>\n<p>A group of students walked into my office early one morning. One of them placed some material on my desk, which they had translated into English. There was a book written by a famous monk from Sena, a brochure for a homestay at a different location, and a complete itinerary. I was impressed. Apparently, they had the initiative to spend the weekend together coming up with something new. Before long the entire class was loaded into a mini-van for our next destination. We also hooked up with alumni from my tourism classes of 2002. It was a surprise reunion. </p>\n<p>The first stop was at Wat Rangchorrakea (the Crocodile Temple). It had gotten this name because it was founded on a bank among crocodile infested waters. The meat-loving reptiles have long since gone. The last remaining species lived inside a cage at the temple. Locals used to throw coins into its mouth for good luck. A few students remember doing this as a child. There is also a shrine to a diamond-eyed cat. The feline had intensely bright green and blue eyes. Its stuffed body can still be seen along with scraps of food and cat toys left as offerings. There is a small Buddha image at the temple. Legend has it that a foreigner once shot it with a gun, only to witness real blood pouring out of the wound. I am sure that the offender probably died or went crazy afterward in spiritual retribution. Another local story is that tears once poured from the eyes of the Buddha image before a fire broke out, warning villagers in advance. I love these local folk stories. You seldom get them from guidebooks. </p>\n<p>The next stop was at a homestay that could only be reached by boat. The place is located in the middle of a rice field, but every winter it gets heavily flooded. A large lake forms from October to January. You could water ski on it. Rice crops are planted after the water drains. After harvest, water fills the fields once again in a continuous cycle. This pattern is ideal for farmers to derive income throughout the year. We spent one hour on the boat. I got to hear my students scream as the boat rocked and bounced on the temporary lake. The isolated homestay was surrounded by water, acting as a type of bird sanctuary. Cool breezes wafted in from all direction. There is amazing sunset views and plenty of fresh rural air. Tourists can stay with the family by appointment (#09-881-1042). A shared room, boat ride, and two meals can be experienced for only 500 Baht per night. Unfortunately, our class could not spend the night, so we took another quick jaunt on the water. Long-tail boats are rare in these distant parts. Your more likely to find a quiet wooden boat with paddle. </p>\n<p>The next stop was at Wat Bangnomkho (Dairy Cow Temple). My attention was first drawn to a large Banyan tree that was covered with women’s dresses. I asked why vendors were selling clothing at a temple. One student corrected me that the dresses were hanging to a tree because a female spirit lived inside it. I should have known. But, this is what tour guides are for. They should add local color and detail that tourists wouldn’t know otherwise. Clothing trees? Taxidermied cats? Lucky crocodiles? Bleeding statues? This is the type of information that makes a place interesting. I was glad to have students pointing them out. They had anticipated what I would be curious to know. </p>\n<p>One thing I noticed by myself, however, was that this temple was packed with visitors – only all of them were Thai. Wat Bangnomkho is widely known for a famous monk that could perform healing miracles. Odds are that you would recognize Phra Luang Por Parn’s face if you have ever looked for amulets. Thai visitors crowded around his quiescent image to say prayers and ask for blessings. Then it struck me how domestic and foreign tourists are essentially different. Thais visit a place because of a personal or spiritual connection to it. Foreign tourists just want to have fun and check out some big stuff. Although this line is slowly blurring, most western travelers wouldn’t be caught dead anywhere that isn’t mentioned in their guidebook. </p>\n<p>Our final event was lunch, of course, after all this is Thailand. My students took me for a seafood lunch at Chaoched Paphao restaurant. The outdoor dining establishment had enormous fish living in a pond, which we fed with our leftovers. While I was digesting food, and enjoying updates by a former student, I couldn’t help but notice that my present students had gotten it right. They created something fresh and original. They not only provided information in English, but they also stuck to a well-timed three hour itinerary. Moreover, they had saved one more surprise for me. The canal with the floating village was located near this restaurant. It has been blocked off by a new road, so whatever it is that remains might be strangled before long. A blink of an eye and you would miss it. By a few more years, the floating village will have been gone if measures weren’t made to protect it by a few rebellious holdouts. One student from Sena was particularly proud to have tracked the canal. “See, over there,” see exclaimed, “that house is still floating on the water”. It looked like a few more buildings might have survived. The stagnant water had appeal, if not for tourists then at least for amateur historians. My students renewed my motivation. Now, I had a new river and a good excuse for exploration. </p>\n<p>The Albatross Hangs around the Neck …<br />\nLonely Planet writer, Joe Cummings, has spoke about the dilemma of publicizing obscure destinations. On one hand, an increase in tourism can improve the lives of locals with added income. Villagers can afford better housing or send their children to nicer schools. On the other hand, a boom in tourism will alter the mood of a location. Crime, corruption, and pollution inevitably seep in. I feel apprehension about promoting these new tours. I want to show gratitude to certain locals for treating me with kindness, but this new contact will alter the location’s chemistry. In some ways I am lighting a fuse that leads to a powder keg. The very things that attract me to these rivers can be destroyed by a high population of tourists. </p>\n<p>I can visualize long-tail boats clogging a river like a log jam. I imagine speed boats and water skiers disturbing the peace and quiet of rural neighborhoods. I can picture more rivers being destroyed by more roads to bring in more tourists. Fish might migrate upstream or the Monitor lizards relocate due to excessive traffic. Discarded plastic bags could clutter the river’s surface and broken beer bottles might bob on the bottom – making a simple swim a dangerous endeavor. The women who bathe in the stream will become self-conscious once voyeurs start taking digital photographs. They could go inside and close their doors. There is already a massive 500 room hotel being constructed on the Pasak River. New homestays, health spas, and houses are on the way. There is big money in Ayutthaya’s tourism industry. Development has already started to roll with momentum. The question is at what cost to it natural scenery? </p>\n<p>Hiding in the back of my mind is the secret hope that these tours will fail. I want to keep these water ways to myself; saving them only for a private group of friends who can appreciate them. However, eco-tourism in Sena could have saved the floating village of Ban Chao Ched if developers had understood its tourism potential. Eco-tours can promote conscious tourism. On the other hand, less scrupulous travel agencies can ruin natural scenery as bad as a 1767 Burmese invader if they are only concerned about maximizing profits. I am not qualified to walk this tightrope. I am a teacher, not a tour guide. Ultimately, it is my students own choice. I can show them how to appreciate the simplicity of their rivers and educate them about the value of the environment. We can practice English for tourism and experiment with tour guiding. But, this is Thailand. Only my students can decide what constituted success. Will the tourism boom be short-term hustle for quick cash or will it be something sustainable for generations. That is the type of test that can’t be answered with fancy essays or multiple choice questions. It is an examination of life over time. It is the albatross around their neck.</p>','','2005-12-31 20:23:15',1,'2005-12-31 20:23:15','2018-04-15 03:03:16');

They were all going to Hell, and I was just the teacher to guide them. I have been to Hell twice before and found it a special place. Backpackers are ripe for Hell. It is off the beaten path. Buses, planes, and trains don\'t go there. If you want to visit Hell it takes a lot of energy and planning in advance. But, for those with determination, Hell can be found in Angthong. It is located behind an obscure Buddhist temple called Wat Muang.</p>\n<p>In Hell you can see human bodies with the heads of chickens, cobras, and toads. You can peek at naked people scurrying up thorny trees while red-clad demons stab them with spears, hungry crows pluck out their eyeballs, and rabid \"soi\" dogs bite their genitals off. You could have a better day, if you know what I mean. In Hell demons slowly saw a persecuted soul in half and hack at a pig-headed man with an axe. You can be forced to drink flaming lava, or the new beer Cheers, by demons welding spiked clubs and chains. It\'s worth a visit. And honestly, who isn\'t slightly charmed by life-sized statues of chained up bong smokers, toking on water pipes, with tongues the size of arms. That\'s it, step right up, see all this and more at Wat Muang. </p>\n<p>Wat Muang is very surrealistic to say the least. You can see giant monkeys in battle against blokes with funny mustaches. There is a large statue of a male-female (katooey?) Chinese deity for compassion and folkloric portrayals of a father cruelly roasting his baby alive in an open spit to create a ghost. There are old bearded men on the backs of rats and a topless goddess riding a rabbit. There is a temple made completely out of mirrors, and an enormous statue with so many arms that it could comprise both sides of a volleyball team. Wat Muang has the world’s largest lotus around its main ordination hall. The temple is also constructing one of the world\'s largest Buddha statues on site. The latter is nearly complete, but stops just underneath the Buddha\'s eyes like a giant painting by Salvador Dali. The monument is a meditating being with half a face for the time being. But, people can make a donation to help finish his head. From the looks of things, tourists will perhaps be able to walk inside and touch the heart of the Buddha. </p>\n<p>I wasn\'t leading my students into Hell because I thought it would be a nice place for a cup of tea. My goal was to persuade my students to make sense of it all. What is the meaning behind all these images? I wanted them to articulate this mysterious Thai culture for me. After all, they were training to become future tour guides. Hell was a good place to start because we could always move upward from there. This class is entitled \"Introduction to Tour Planning and Organization\". These students are tourism majors at Rajabhat University Phranakhon Si Ayutthaya. The function of this field trip was to design a new tour. We came up with a three-stop day excursion from Ayutthaya. First stop: Wat Phu Khao Thong (the Golden Pagoda), which was originally constructed by the Burmese after invading Ayutthaya in 1767, but later finished by the Thai after the Burmese king had died from a guilt complex and bad karma. Second stop: Wat Pa Mok Worawihan, which contains a 22-meter long reclining Buddha that dates back to the Sukhothai period. It once floated on the Chao Phraya River before they transported it to land and covered it with gold. The final stop is a one-hour tour of Wat Muang. My class would use this trip to create a tour schedule, design a business plan, invent an advertising campaign, and actually lead tourists to this destination. I wanted to prove to them that they could do it.</p>\n<p>Going to Hell is not as easy as it sounds. I had to coax and prod my students into coming along for the ride. They were reluctant to visit Hell, but acquiesced after I promised them breakfast. Never underestimate food as a motivating factor in Thailand. Soon afterward, the school mini-van was loaded with a dozen young, nubile, and rather pretty Thai women (an event, in itself, that some teachers might classify as a fringe benefit). However, a van full of 20-year-old girls can be more noisy and talkative than one might ever imagine. And this class was never shy to begin with. Luckily, the computer teacher gave me a healthy supply of earplugs as a precaution. I stashed them in my front pocket when students weren\'t watching. I never used the ear plugs because the students had no intention of allowing me to remain a passive passenger. They talked, gossiped, and sang the entire way. I learned more about Thai pop stars than I ever needed to know. </p>\n<p>Most students have never heard of Wat Muang, let alone visited the place. They told me that tourists could experience Hell in Saraburi (Wat Pai Long Hua). Two students also claimed that there was a small Hell awaiting people in the Sena district. I didn\'t doubt them for a second. Ahhh … so many Hells to visit and so little time. Truthfully, I was feeling a little nostalgic for the Hell that I knew best, at Wat Muang, and I had read that they made recent upgrades. These students had it easy. When I was their age I had to walk seven kilometers to Hell (a typical school in Utah) every morning in a snowstorm. Now my students arrived there in a chilled mini-van. Leading my students into Hell was all fun and games until we came closer to its entrance. Suddenly, students started having second thoughts. They made last minute attempts to shift our itinerary. About ten minutes before arrival students started to worry. </p>\n<p>Student: \"But, teacher, I don\'t want to go to Hell.\"<br />\nMe: \"You will go to Hell and like it. So stop complaining\".<br />\nStudent: \"But I only want to see heaven.\"<br />\nMe: \"Wat Muang isn\'t really Hell. They just have many wild statues that portray it.\"<br />\nStudent: \"Why do we have to show tourists Hell?\"<br />\nMe: \"Because it is a place they have never been before, unless you count negotiating fares with taxi syndicates on Ko Samui.\"<br />\nStudent: \"Can we just take them to heaven instead?\" (giggles and cheers echo throughout the van).</p>\n<p>Our class visited the mirrored temple together. A group of us had our fortunes read by the multi-limbed deity (by shaking the numbered sticks). It was worth a shot. I figure any being with a dozen arms must know some neat tricks that I can\'t accomplish with my own two hands. Once in Hell my students scattered in every direction. They spent a total of 15 minutes in Hell than mysteriously vanished. Before I knew it only two people escorted me. These were the ones who would naturally guide tourists and make explanations. Two other students took freelance photographs, and the rest of the class just sort of dashed. Where had they gone? </p>\n<p>I left Hell to go looking for them. I looked by the feeding pool with gigantic fish. I meandered past the fields of Hindu Gods and Chinese mythological figures. I entered the hall of giant lotus blossoms. I walked past a parade of monk statues. Then it hit me that my students might be hiding in nearby heaven. Did this tour really scare them that much? It took a while before I cleared my path to heaven, but eventually I made it. Hell was a much easier place to find. Before long, I was climbing the stairway to heaven. </p>\n<p>My students weren’t there. They weren’t anywhere in sight. They had bypassed heaven for a different plight. Instead of staying any longer in Buddhist Nirvana, I left to lecture my learners. I made this sacrifice. But, where were my pupils? I was rounding a corner (where a topless, bright red-skinned, Goddess ferociously rode a tiger) when I finally found them. My students were nestled under a shady Bodhi tree. Some of them were desperately applying skin whitening crème as fast as possible. Others struck poses for our ad like fashion models. We could have created calendars rather than tweak a tour. My students had their cell phones cranked on at full blast. I could almost hear their mobiles sizzling from overuse. If Mara wants to attract young Thai women the only bait required would be unlimited SIM cards and air-conditioning. I had to admonish them for their mysterious disappearance. They needed to approach this project with right mind and action. </p>\n<p>Me: “C’mon, you didn’t even bother to find Nirvana. All you did was return to the same place that you started.”<br />\nStudent: “But, Hell was too hot, and heaven wasn’t very interesting.”<br />\nMe: \"Hell isn\'t supposed to be pleasant, and heaven isn\'t supposed to be fun. The aim of this project was to improve your capacity of understanding\".<br />\nStudent: \"But why should we suffer hunger any longer. Nothing is permanent.\"<br />\nMe: “Still, I am giving 10 bonus points to the students that actually worked. The rest of you will do extra assignments.”<br />\nStudent: “But, we also worked. We have been locating the best restaurant to take tourists to for lunch.”</p>\n<p>It was a nice try, but I didn’t bite. During lunch I delegated a variety of group tasks: creating advertisements from photos, calculating transport costs, writing data about each destination, and creating a reasonable itinerary. They had one week to figure out how to make this tour work. They had to time the 3-stop tour to be less than four hours long, and to budget all expenses to make a profit. They had to crunch numbers to decide on the proper price (250-300 baht) and figure out the minimum number of tourists needed (4-5 people) to make the tour a success.<br />\nAfter Angthong I led my students to a surprise stop. We visited Kao San Road in Ayutthaya. I had an appointment with a well-known hotel manager. After cordial greetings I sprung the real surprise. Each student in this class would be required to put in 25 hours of community service. They would speak directly with tourists at information booths, work at hotel reception desks, and a few would line up night tours as guides. After confidence has been built they will bring these new tours to life. This wasn\'t just a fun field trip; they would eventually guide tourists to these locations. They would have to improve language skills and become stronger students. </p>\n<p>Me: “This is a live classroom. These are not pretend tours. You are actually going to plan and manage them. You must speak directly with tourists. This is job experience.”<br />\nStudent: \"But, what if we are really bad, so that tourists are scared away?\"<br />\nMe: \"That won\'t happen because I am going to train you.\"<br />\nStudents: \"Can we just practice these tours instead?\"<br />\nMe: \"We will practice them together first, then you will learn by doing them. So get ready, this will be an interesting ride.\"</p>\n<p>I could see many eyes widen with surprise. They weren’t expecting this. They thought it would be a quick trip to Hell and back. This isn\'t a class full of multiple choice quizzes and complicated final exams. They couldn\'t simply cut and paste essays off the Internet. They had to really work. Hands-on experience is a new concept to them. Panic crept into their facial expressions as reality set in. For some students, they had just stepped into Hell.</p>','','2005-11-30 23:45:49',1,'2005-11-30 23:45:49','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(203,11,'Ayutthaya island','ayutthaya-island','Tales of ghosts and spirits in deepest Thailand','I have yet to see a ghost in Ayutthaya myself. But, I am learning to speak Thai, so maybe that will help. The main problem today is this: wailing ghosts don\'t attract western travelers, who are celebrating on vacation. Nobody likes whining and misery. We can always get that at home.','<p>Ghosts! That\'s the problem. Ayutthaya Island has too many ghosts. And they are not even the kind of phantoms that attract tourists. If Ayutthaya Island had Hungry Giants or even a few Krasue than tourists would surely come. Hungry Ghosts have long thin bodies with bloated bellies, and a hole for a mouth that is so tiny that they can only ingest food through a plastic straw (which is why street vendors always give extras to you). Krasue can snap their heads from their bodies at night and - with lungs, heart, and intestines still dangling - float around eating excrement when they are not busy spitting into people\'s water glasses. If Ayutthaya only had ghost like these than tourists would flock here by the thousands. But, it is too difficult to keep interesting phantoms here. You can not chain a Hungry Ghost to a tree since it is a disembodied mass, and Krasue can evade capture by popping their heads off like a cork in a wine bottle. They keep escaping. What can we do? All the really cool phantoms live in Issan. </p>\n<p>In Ayutthaya there are banana tree ghosts, but they don\'t know any original tricks other than how to spoil fruit (not exactly postcard material). Oh yeah, Ayutthaya is also residency to a thousand wailing apparitions that were slaughtered by the Burmese in 1767. We can\'t forget about them. Damn Burmese! The tortured souls from the fall of Ayutthaya have never left. They are as commonplace on Ayutthaya Island as bad-tempered stray dogs and plastic bags twisting in the wind. All the locals know somebody who has seen one of these ghosts. There is even a ghost at my university, where I teach English and Tourism Studies. She is a silent ghoul with long hair that walks around doing nothing, sort of like a student from a Thai technical school. Some of the ruins have their own personal ghosts. Youth visit them at night daring to be haunted. Ruins can be quite spooky in the moonlight.</p>\n<p>Not too long ago, only 5-6 decades, Ayutthaya Island was overgrown with trees and weeds like Angkor Wat. Many of the chedis and temples were hidden by debris. Uncle Mian, who was placed in charge of the Ayutthaya restoration project by Thailand\'s Fine Arts Department, remembers chopping his way toward a wild Wat Sisanpetch with a machete*. He was racing to protect Thailand\'s valuable artifacts before looting treasure hunters destroyed the ruins in quest of gold. Uncle Mian described Ayutthaya Island as full of snakes and ghosts, which is one good reason why it took so long for Thais to repopulate the place after its destruction in 1767. A few families gradually filtered back to the Northeast side of the island, and many of these were the ones who welcomed the first backpackers. Most ghosts have now drifted to the western side of Ayutthaya Island. I guess that is where Thai spirits like to go, to the west. Thai residents still prefer to live on the eastern side of the island, away from wailing ghosts. This is nearer to where most the tourist hotels are located. Ghosts or cash: that is an easy decision. I have yet to see a ghost in Ayutthaya myself. But, I am learning to speak Thai, so maybe that will help. The main problem today is this: wailing ghosts don\'t attract western travelers, who are celebrating on vacation. Nobody likes whining and misery. We can always get that at home.</p>\n<p>Another problem is that Don Muang airport will move further south in 2006. Right now, it is actually quicker to come to Ayutthaya from the airport than to take the shuttle bus to Khao San Road. However, the new Suvarnabhumi airport will shift the travel patterns of tourists. It will be located much closer to popular islands such as Ko Chang, Ko Samet, and Ko Samui. When this happens tourists might not visit landlocked Ayutthaya Island (which is encircled by a confluence of three rivers: Chao Phraya, Lopburi, and Pa Sak). Tourists might bypass central Thailand altogether and fly directly to Chiang Mai instead. Thai Air, Bangkok Air, and Nok Air cover this distance quicker. And domestic flights are getting cheap. If Ayutthaya wants to continue to attract tourists it much find new niches to lure visitors into staying a few days - rather than quick walk around excursions through Bangkok-owned agencies. Everybody loves an unspoiled niche to explore. I know I am always trying to pry my way into one. Future graduates from our university\'s tourist department must create original tours of their own. Like Uncle Mian, they must hack their way toward new trails. Students need to establish local contacts while there is still a chance. They have to learn more about tourist behavior - the industry\'s trends and patterns - and perhaps even become travelers themselves. If they hesitate they will lose. And the wailing ghosts will lecture locals endlessly about lost opportunities. My plan is to appease these ghosts by keeping spirits houses full with offerings of sweet drinks and rice. Then I will bring new skills to my students that will motivate their sense of creativity.</p>\n<p>My premise is that students will contribute to community development by acquiring the skills to be self-sufficient tour guides. However, to make this successful, first requires the ability to know what Ayutthaya has to offer, and to essentially learn how to think like a tourist. Students must understand the awesome process of travel, as well as tap into their own curiosity. If they can master that, they will be able to bring tourist here with new ideas. So as a teacher I will point them in the right direction and let them take it from there. I\'ll introduce them to a network of local hotel owners, tour guides, boat operators, and tuk-tuk drivers. They will be invite directly into our classroom. They will work together to start an actual tour. Students will design business plans, create travel brochures, develop sales pitches, and even practice taking small groups of foreigners on original excursions. This tourism project will incorporate the resources that are already here - the local community - to create some type of momentum. Some of these ideas will work and some will fail. And to be honest, that is the ultimate objective. If a tour strategy fails we can discuss the reasons why, and decide how to remove the obstacles. At least, it will keep ghosts away for the time being.</p>\n<p>Possible new eco-tours from Ayutthaya:<br />\n1) Boat tours designed by passengers (random stops and DIY activity)<br />\n2) Boat tours down small canals (quiet wildlife excursions).<br />\n3) Boat tours to Lopburi (the monkey city).<br />\n4) The floating village (houseboats in Sena).<br />\n5) Go to Buddhist Hell (with a trip to surrealistic Wat Muang).<br />\n6) Jungle food restaurants (snake blood, cobra meat, and extreme cuisine).<br />\n7) Distance bus trips to Kao Yai National Park.<br />\n8) Distance bus trips to Kanchana Buri.<br />\n9) Distance bus trips to Chiang Mai.<br />\n10) Whatever tour the students invent?</p>\n<p>****<br />\nLuck and karma will only take students so far; then hard work, marketable skills, and raw knowledge must take over from there. Therefore, I advocate the \"3E\" approach to teaching: Energy, Experience, and Education. This classroom project is an experiment in a new methodology that also stimulates English skills with speaking, listening, reading, and writing.</p>\n<p>Energy - I expect students to work hard. The need physical activity with hands-on learning that applies to daily life. Learning is a gradual process, and for this reason I am not a fan of the big final exam or grand multiple-choice tests. Nor do I want cut-and-paste essays straight off the Internet, downloaded academic papers, or copied homework assignments. I prefer for students to get involved in the process of creating something unique. They will write in journals all semester, conduct sociological surveys, read articles about local tourism issues, hand in weekly reports, and develop tangible material such as brochures for actual tours. All this student energy must contribute to community development in some way. </p>\n<p>Experience - In order to find employment after graduation students need to gain job experience and establish local contacts. This class will use the resources that are already in place. The idea is to send students directly to the tourism centers of Ayutthaya. They will learn the local infrastructure: ruins, temples, tour sites, nightclubs, hotels, transportation, and information desks. My class will set up booths where they can speak with tourists and answer real questions. I won\'t allow my students to peel onions in back of a restaurant or change dirty bed sheets as free labor. They have to work up front with tourists. And this activity must benefit the local hotels or travel agencies as well. I\'ll personally work with hotel managers, travel agencies, nightclub owners, and the TAT office. One goal is for students to listen to a variety of English accents while creating a future work reference. It is English language practice. If students are real good, they might even get hired for work. The local business should mutually benefit by this educational process.</p>\n<p>Education - Students will increase knowledge about trends and patterns of tourism. They will learn about tourist behavior, study demographics, and learn details about the local ruins, temples, and Ayutthaya history. They will acquaint themselves with English vocabulary to describe old architectural styles and the Thai culture. Students will be given tips on their presentation of English grammar and pronunciation. In short, they will learn to speak about what Ayutthaya Island has to offer.</p>\n<p>This 3E methodology sounds like a lot of extra work for me as a teacher. I\'ll need to be more organized in advance than usual. I\'ll have to coordinate the multi-tasking of several classes. We will have to tightly network. However, this could also be a lot of fun. How else could I get paid to travel and to explore upcoming tourist destinations? If this strategy really clicks, by the second half of this semester our entire class could be held on a boat. It will be a classroom on the water. Ayutthaya Island could be my blackboard, and the splendid Chao Phraya River could be my chalk. There is a chance that a few of my students could really surprise me. What a blessing it can be when your own students teach you something positive. Anyway, maybe these tourism classes will be really successful, or maybe the tours will all fall apart with complication. But, in the meantime, what an exciting learning process!</p>\n<p>• Special thanks to Desmond Lobo for his computer assistance.<br />\n• * Sukphisit, Sunthon. The Vanishing Face of Thailand.

It was a standard English grammar book, nothing of any deep intellectual significance. I just didn’t need this reference book anymore. I was done with Korea. My contract had run its course. I had no desire to stay longer. My career in Korea’s ESL industry offered nothing else but one last paycheck. I was finished and there was nothing left to do but count down my last ten days before departure. The action of retiring this English textbook was symbolic. It shattered the ice that trapped me to Korea. I was clearing a path so I could leave. Gradually, over the next few days, I would deposit new items into the suitcase. Piece by piece until it started to bulge from overstuffing. The final step would be to lock the suitcase and to drag my butt to the airport. The accumulated objects could sleep in dormancy until I arrived at my next teaching destination.</p>\n<p>Naturally, I fell into the usual process beforehand. I posted a few on-line resumes. I tested my marketability and checked the options available. My recently acquired TEFL certificate definitely opened up new opportunities. University job offers poured in from China, Japan, Latvia, Poland, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand. A few college teaching positions in Korea were also brought to my attention. For a brief moment I considered this latter idea, but the paperwork involved was rather discouraging. Korean Immigration now requires multiple copies of sealed university transcripts, notarized degrees, and criminal record reports to be eligible to work at public schools. The red tape demanded too much effort for teaching positions that required me to live in small on-campus dormitories. A different Korean hogwon was out of question. I am through with teaching children – regardless of location. In the end, Korean kids conquered the classroom territory, and my teaching methods were shoved to the jagged periphery. They won, I admit it, and their parent’s endless whining dulled whatever edges I could still grasp onto. I simply lost my will to play classroom politics any longer. I officially burnt out beyond salvage. </p>\n<p>I had ten more days until scheduled departure. In fact, I had to legally leave Korea before my residency card expired. Otherwise, I would face severe financial penalty and possibly prison time. My employer pressured me to extend the contract, but I wasn’t willing to take any more risks. I simply don’t trust Korea. Private academy directors are infamous for cheating teachers during their last few weeks of employment. The last week of a contract is like judgment day. It is the period when teachers learn if they will be given their severance pay and return airfare home – something promised by almost every Korean school. However, this is precisely the moment when Korean employers love to pull the bait and switch. English teachers often get surprised when a director refuses to honor the mutual contract. Mysterious reasons are pulled out of the hat to deny wages at the last minute. A lot of teachers get fired in their last month, so employers don’t have to pay the promised bonuses. In the twilight of the contract, hogwon owners creatively conjure up new penalties to subtract income. After all, it is well established that they can easily get away with this dishonesty. </p>\n<p>There is absolutely nothing that a teacher can do about getting scammed. Korean Immigration allows only ten days as a grace period before a foreign employee must leave the country after contract termination (and zero days once their residency card has expired). That gives a swindled teacher slightly more than one week to take legal action. A good Korean lawyer costs around $2,000, which is usually a greater sum than teachers are actually cheated out of. Even if the victimized teacher takes legal action they are forced into leaving Korea before the case comes to trial. The teacher has further problems collecting back fees once out of the country. Korean employers are fully aware that they can victimize teachers with absolute impunity. Therefore, some seldom hesitate. The same schools seem to scam teachers in continuous cycles. Eventually, scorned westerners just cut their losses and run. </p>\n<p>As I slowly packed my suitcase I felt a surge of anxiety. My employer has always treated me with respect in the past. She has always paid bonuses and honored her contracts. But, the Korean economy is still very sluggish and my hogwon has taken a financial hit. There persists the pressing possibility of getting scammed during the twilight hours. My eyes were firmly on my bank account, and my thoughts dwelled exclusively on survival strategies. Despite my director’s trustworthy record, I felt a familiar twinge of panic climbing up my spine. It ate its way into my head like the hatching eggs of a breeding insect. What would I do if I got swindled?<br />\n****</p>\n<p>Scams are a way of life in Korea’s ESL industry. Virtually all English teachers know somebody who has been cheated by Korean employers. People speak highly about the sizable teaching salaries in Korea, but what good are they if teachers are routinely screwed out of monthly income and promised bonuses? The precaution of caveat emptor is often cast forth, but Korean employment really comes down to the issue of trust. You can conduct advance research all you want, but the final outcome is always a roll of the dice. Will a recruitment agent’s words prove trustworthy? Will the contract be honored at the school? Will a hard-working teacher be awarded a fair deal? Once that dotted line is signed Korean employers can make alterations as they see fit. Contracts can be changed midway, legal wording can be reinterpreted loosely by employers, and new clauses thrown in with the threat of firing if they are not signed. Split shifts and weekend teaching sessions can be added after a contract has been formalized, freebie work can get assigned to unwilling workers, and overtime hours required without additional pay. Salaries can be paid late or suffer from mysterious deductions. The criteria within the legal document can be tweaked according to an employer’s financial needs. Korean private schools, known as hogwons, are notoriously disreputable in this regard. Korean employers just don’t take contracts seriously. Once a contract is signed, teacher are expected to obey the director without argument. If teachers protest bad treatment they can get unreasonably fired. </p>\n<p>There is a quick remedy to a bad contract. However, it only works at the midway point. An English teacher can protest with their feet by making a midnight run. “Pulling a runner” is a well established technique in Korea. The way is works is this: a disgruntled teacher flees Korea in secrecy immediately after receiving a paycheck. The teacher covertly packs luggage all week, and when the next weekend rolls around they spring into action. They catch the next train to the airport – money still in hand – without telling anyone. When Monday comes around the bewildered school administrators start wondering where the teacher is. They start making phone calls only to discover an empty apartment. As a coup-de-grace the school has to spend a lot of money to a rapidly recruit a new English teacher. Parents will get promptly irked if they paid good tuition money for a native English speaker, only to have the school come up empty handed. Shortly after the midnight run has been successfully completed, the teacher’s colleagues get tormented with e-mailed pix of the runner celebrating on a tropical beach with a frosty mug in their hand. </p>\n<p>The incentive to endure bad hogwon policy is to receive the final reward of severance pay and return airfare. English teachers can return home with financial security. As my own contract was brought to completion I didn’t want to become another statistic of a disgruntled teacher. I wanted to protect my own interests as much as possible. If this goal failed to materialize then I would actively seek out retaliation possibilities. How could I insure that my contract was honored? How could I guarantee that I could leave Korea with the promised bonus in my wallet? Would I need to resort to threats of blacklisting? Could I sabotage the hire of future replacement teachers? Should I drag adult students into protest in case my contract fell apart during the twilight hours? My nature is not inclined toward revenge, but given Korea’s reputation, I had to explore all options. It was pure survival instinct.<br />\nMy first move was to make contact with the Korean Immigration Department. I was curious if they offered us English teachers protection. However, my numerous phone calls revealed that few representatives could speak English. Those in charge of moderating “foreign” employment relationships, seldom had the skills for basic communication. I was juggled around in a telephone maze and passed among employees. How could they offer support if they were reluctant to even talk with foreigners? I turned to the Internet next to learn if the Korean Immigration Department could be a valuable resource for my legal protection. After spending sixteen hours on-line, I couldn’t trace a single case of Korean Immigration helping out a “foreign” English teacher with legal issues. My tired eyes bugged out and turned bloodshot, but I still couldn’t locate one example of Korean Immigration siding with a foreign English teacher. At best, immigration administrators might make a courtesy phone call to a hogwon owner as an official inquiry. The Korean Immigration Department is very understaffed, so they don’t place a high priority bailing out swindled English teachers. They are focused mostly on issuing visas rather than settling contract disputes. They are reluctant to get involved, and if they do it is usually on the side of the Korean school. English teachers seem to be powerless to change this situation.</p>\n<p>One tactic that English teachers can use, to insure that they will get promised funds, is to threaten a dishonest school with blacklisting. There are several sites in which teachers can blacklist schools that have cheated them (I counted seven that focus on Korea alone). Blacklists are the final resolve of disgruntled English teachers. We can report new scams. We can post warning to future teachers. We can name and shame a dishonest school. However, these blacklist are useless in reclaiming withheld salaries and bonuses. Blacklisting is solely a means to vent anger. It seldom helps with contract violations, except as an advance omen for future teachers. Blacklist websites have become controversial for a number of reasons. An opportunistic school can use them to damage the reputation of their competitors. Unscrupulous website operators can demand money to remove posts that tarnish a school’s reputation. Schools can be named and shamed without the opportunity to state their side of a dispute. It is tempting for a shady teacher to anonymously destroy a school’s reputation, rather than admit they got fired for showing up drunk to work. You have to take each post with a grain of salt and read them all with scrutiny. Ultimately, these websites get shut down often due to threats of legal action. Despite lawsuit potential, blacklist websites are an important part of the ESL industry. They are one of the few payback methods available to swindled teachers. Korea desperately needs a check and balance on dishonest schools. </p>\n<p>The number of swindled English teachers in Korea is severely high. Cheating on contracts is so commonplace that forums have been created to deal with this dishonesty. In 2002, a new website was established to provide teachers with legal feedback (www.efl_law.org). It should be mandatory reading for any teacher who wants to come to Korea. It is astonishing to read the wide variety of tactics used to deprive English teachers out of income. The website doesn’t necessarily help the teacher with legal problems, but they do catalogue contract violations and offer phone numbers for legal representation. A few hours on this website is a true eye opener. The following list documents techniques – but, only a few of them – that Korean hogwons have recently used to swindle or manipulate English teachers:</p>\n<p>• Dismissal at the 5th and 11th Month – English teachers are often fired shortly before their contract expires to avoid paying severance pay and return airfare.<br />\n• Forced Illegal Labor – English teachers are required to work for third parties, that are not enumerated in the contract. This outsourcing is in violation of Korean law. If teachers do it they can get heavily fined or deported. If teachers refuse to do this illegal activity they can get fired.<br />\n• Filing False Claims of Student Abuse – English teachers are accused of beating students, and the school lodges a complaint with the police. The teacher must flee the country without bonus pay to avoid prosecution or pay the school to help them out.<br />\n• Penalizing Teachers for Student Loss – English teachers have been forced to sign contract amendments that give the school permission to deduct wages as reimbursement for student loss. Refunded money comes directly out of the teacher’s monthly salary. Refusal to sign this amendment can result in job termination.<br />\n• Withholding Passports and Original University Degrees – Schools have refused to return this personal property to English teachers in attempt to prevent departure or in demand that teachers accept a job.<br />\n• Pressure to Extend Contracts – English teachers have been forced to renew or extend contracts, under the threat of withholding airfare or severance pay. Once a contract has been extended teachers have been fired anyway to avoid bonus payments. Once the contact’s date has expired, whatever happens afterwards is questionable territory.<br />\n• Pressure to Find Replacement Teachers – English teachers are often pressured to find a new teacher before quitting. There is sometimes an implied threat that severance pay or return airfare will not be awarded. At times, hogwon owners have even demanded that teachers post positive references on Internet forums (or defend the school from former blacklisting). The owner usually does not pay teachers a recruitment fee for this service.<br />\n• Threats of Lawsuit – The threat of lawsuits has been used to prevent English teachers from early departure. English teachers have also been threatened with legal retaliation for posting negative comments on Internet forums (or websites that blacklist dishonest schools). Likewise, the websites themselves have had lawsuits thrown at them.<br />\n• Racism – There are increasing incident reports that non-Caucasian English teachers have been abandoned at the airport by school owners who prefer white employees. Blacks and Asian teachers have routinely experienced discrimination during hiring practices.<br />\n• Improper Charging of Fees – English teachers often have fees deducted from their monthly salary to cover health insurance, recruitment costs, and government taxes. The English teacher later discovers that their employer was actually pocketing this money.<br />\n• Instructions to Defraud Korean Immigration – English teachers have been asked to apply for an easy-to-get visa that does not permit teaching. The teacher is told to deny that they are seeking employment, and pressured to claim that they are a tourist instead. Unfortunately, teachers are not informed that this action is illegal.<br />\n• Refusal to Issue Release Letters – English teachers must have a letter of release before they can apply for new employment in Korea (if the contract has been terminated early). Unscrupulous schools have refused to release teachers from the contract as a form of punishment or denied release letters to cover up illegal actions undertook by the school.<br />\n• Breaking Contracts by Changing Owners – Schools nullify a preexisting contract by selling the establishment to a new owner. The new owner often turns out to be a family member of the previous management.<br />\n• Borrowing Money from Teachers – Many hogwon owners have borrowed money from teachers or promised to pay salaries in postponed installments. This accumulated debt is sometimes never returned.<br />\n• Denial of Apartment Security Deposits – Some Korean schools insist on withholding one month of salary as a security deposit. This money is not always refunded at the time of departure.<br />\n• Unlawful Banking Practices – English teachers are required to start a second bank account in their name (one opened and controlled by the school). The school randomly deposits cash and shuffles it around. This tactic can be used to launder money and to avoid paying taxes (which are charged to the teacher instead).</p>\n<p>The practices listed above probably don’t encourage English teachers to rush into employment contracts. They feed into the general distrust of Korean schools. The truth is that Korean hogwons have been allowed to get away with this inappropriate behavior for years. The Korean government does little to stop it. English teacher seldom have resources to take proper legal action. It is easier to just cut your losses and go. However, it get worse. English teacher can get swindled even before they start working in Korea. Recruiting agents also live up to notoriously bad reputations. A recruiter can get paid well over $1,000 for finding a teacher. This adds up to big money during the course of the year. In order to maximize profits, many recruitment agents are willing to hide a hogwon’s shady past. They seldom inform new teachers about disreputable schools or dishonest owners. Likewise, they have been known to recruit unqualified teachers, westerners with criminal backgrounds, and workers with horrible employment histories. Recruitment agencies sometimes act as a loophole that allows illegal employees to filter into Korea. Recruitment agencies are chasing profits, it is only a marginal concern if an English teacher is placed into a bad situation. The following list are ways that English teachers have been swindled or manipulated by recruitment agents in Korea:</p>\n<p>• Demanding Special Processing Fees – English teachers are offered a prized teaching position, only to be informed later that the advertised job is only for special clients. They must pay a special processing fee to be eligible to apply for the more desirable job.<br />\n• Withholding Wages – English Teachers have been forced to forfeit a portion of their salary as a security deposit. If the teacher leaves before a certain date this money is kept to recruit a new replacement. Sometimes this deposit is never refunded.<br />\n• Withholding Passports and Original University Degrees – Recruitment agents seldom return application material. Unfortunately, they may also try to hang onto important documents such as passports and original university degrees. This action is an attempt to pressure a potential recruit into signing a contract. The teacher can’t find employment or an alternative recruitment agency if this material isn’t replaced. English teachers are promised these important documents after a recruitment fee has been paid.<br />\n• Double Charging Recruitment Fees – A recruitment agent unlawfully bills both the school and the teacher for the same service. They basically take in twice the amount of money by charging double.<br />\n• Recruitment of Illegal Workers – Many recruitment agencies knowingly place workers into illegal teaching positions. They find teachers employment without the proper visa or qualifications. They can also disregard criminal backgrounds in order to profit from recruitment fees.<br />\n• Recruitment for Illegal Classrooms – Recruitment agents have been known to hire teachers for unauthorized locations (such as factories, business corporations, third party schools, and unauthorized English camps). Many of these places do not have a license to hire English teachers. Instead, they find teacher who are outsourced by a hogwon. This practice is illegal in Korea. English teachers are prohibited from second jobs and private lessons. Teachers have been reported for this illegal activity to get them deported, rather than pay contractual bonuses.<br />\n• Borrowing Money from Teachers – Several recruitment agents have asked English teachers to loan them money to extradite processing. This cash is seldom returned.<br />\n• Illegal Banking Practices – The English teacher is asked to open up two bank accounts in their name. One account is controlled by the recruiting agent, who selects the PIN number. The second account is held by the teacher. The recruitment agent is paid directly by the school, and a sum is then transferred afterward to the teacher’s account. This banking activity is against the law. It is a tactic that could be used to launder money or hide improper employment. </p>\n<p>As a slowly packed my dusty suitcase a wave of paranoia set in. I couldn’t help but feel it. After all, this was Korea. This country has never been placed in high esteem regarding its ESL contracts. There is a lot of hype about how Koreans fear “losing face” – how they feel family dishonor for personal mistakes. However, when it comes to swindling English teachers many hogwon owner don’t shed a second thought. Apparently, losing face has little to do with dishonesty, especially if it is directed at foreigners or lowly employees. I have been very lucky in avoiding all the scams and contract violations listed above. I am thankful to have been treated respectfully. As a reward I have found many replacement teachers for my school over the years. I feel a sense of gratitude and loyalty. The agreement is simple: I work hard and I expect to get paid on time. I want my contracts to be followed. In the long run there is a larger payoff for hogwon owners. They can find teachers by word-of-mouth. They can avoid exorbitant recruitment fees. They can prevent being blacklisting and discourage teacher from making a midnight run. All they have to do is honor contracts and treat teachers with respect.<br />\nSo … into this disorganized suitcase went my photographs and spare toothbrush. I threw in extra clothing and all my remaining books. I was officially tucking away my past year in Korea. I was determined to leave. But, as I looked over the mess sprawled within my luggage, I couldn’t help but wonder about my life in Korea. I have spent a total of nearly two years at a single hogwon. There was sort of a sadness in leaving it behind. The chaos of my suitcase was like the wrinkles in my hand. I could read it to foresee my future. Inside this cluttered suitcase, I could also see an ESL history – the rise and fall of a Korean hogwon.<br />\n****</p>\n<p>I accidentally clicked onto the wrong television channel yesterday. I punched the wrong numbers into a remote control, and that which popped up on the screen is what I call the insect channel. Everybody has seen this program. The actors portray the pure static of flurrying black and white dots. The dots race around with frantic energy, as if they were dancing to a musical composition of chaotic noise. There is no plot or script. All that can be seen and heard are thousands of tiny dots spinning out of control. Viewers usually switch channels quickly at this point to avoid headaches. However, I chose to move a little bit closer to the screen this time. The program that I was watching was the perfect characterization of Korea’s ESL industry.<br />\nEnglish teachers arrive and depart. Students enroll and drop out. Schools open their doors and permanently shut down. Parents pay tuition money and transfer children to other schools. Recruitment agencies come to life and fly by night, and government officials stamp work visas into passports while cutting up residency cards with their other hand. There is the endless birth of new careers and the death of former jobs. There is the creation of success stories and the destruction of feeble dreams. The ESL industry is a non-stop chaotic dance. It is a frenzy without form. It is a shapeless blotch without blueprint. From a safe distance it does look like insects: scurries for food, crawls for cash, mindless mimicry, belligerent battles, magnificent maneuvers to mate, cross-cultural pollination, and periods of cocooned dormancy. Step up to witness the chrysalis and emergence of transformed students. In the end all parties experience a metamorphosis. Just break out your microscope for a closer look. Korea’s ESL industry is perpetually spinning and dancing, even as it discovers new shapes to bend into. Meanwhile, a cacophony of souls scrape toward goals and stumble at destinations renewed. </p>\n<p>The world of teaching can be mysterious and magical. Really, the best I can do is to just focus on my own role as an English teacher. What is the nature of my employment to this specific school? How does my contribution enhance its development? These are timely questions to ask, and not only because I am leaving. Last week, my hagwon celebrated its sixth birthday. The owner hired me, in 1999, for its grand opening. She tracked me down through a four sentence advertisement that I placed on the Internet after drinking scotch all day. I had already taught English in Hungary and the United States, and I wanted more. I was there from the beginning. The school had only been in operation for three days. My director had almost no experience with westerners, and she couldn’t speak English very well. It is risky to sign a contract with a new school. There are no former English teachers to provide references and no way of finding out about an owner’s reputation in advance. However, I didn’t care about these things back then. I was very adventurous and preferred a school with a clean slate. I was a full-blooded American cowboy teacher who only wanted to explore the world. If things fell apart I would have migrated into Japan. </p>\n<p>This newly opened school was located in a remote district. I was the first western teacher to ever work here. I became an instant celebrity. Children raced after me down several streets. Elderly couples stood and stared for lengths of time. Parents offered me gifts of fruit and fermented cabbage. Staff members bought me dinner and plied me with traditional wine. I became a part of local history. I was the only foreigner in a small district that was surrounded by rice paddies, and there were only two business streets. There was just a handful of private schools. In this environment, with few hogwons to compete with, enrollment thrived. By the year 2000, we had over two hundred students. My presence helped the school to double its classroom occupancy. These were happy times. Everybody gained something to improve their livelihoods. Students got better grades, parents heard their children learn a new language, factory workers practiced English to get promotions, Korean staff improved their speaking skills, and the owner made huge profits. I saved money, paid off some loans, and traveled around the world. All parties could develop their lives in some way. We lifted ourselves to a higher level.</p>\n<p>English teachers at other schools experienced a different situation. At the same time that my life was prospering, teachers at more shady schools were getting cheated out of salaries. There was only about thirty English teachers in Kumi back in 1999. However, at least 25% of them were getting screwed out of income in one way or another. Many were denied severance pay and return airfare. There was residual behavior patterns going back to Asia’s financial crisis in 1997-1998. When Korea’s economy plummeted many English teachers were among the first to suffer. There are many horror stories from those who taught in 1997. Teachers told me of how they were forced to work for two months without salary, even as the school owner purchased a brand new car. Others explained how directors transferred them from nice housing to unfurnished rooms at squalid sex hotels. I know one women who was required to move into her employer’s apartment, who subsequently made attempts to fondle her at night. Many teachers were trapped because they didn’t have funds to leave – not even having money for a midnight run. English teachers were vulnerable because hogwon owners often used this financial weakness to exploit employees. Korean Immigration barely lifted a finger in aid of foreign workers. Bad schools were rarely penalized. The pattern of cheating English teachers was pretty much established by 1997, and this evil giant has only grow bigger since then.</p>\n<p>One reason it is easy for Korean schools to swindle English teachers, without putting a dent in their conscience, is because these workers have become Korea’s first minority group. Koreans migrated to this peninsula several thousand years ago and they have kept this place to themselves (except when colonized by Japan). Korea is nearly 100% homogenous. It has never had a significant population of outsiders living here permanently. Even its own slaves were Korean. The few foreigners allowed to reside in Korea long term have had no voting rights. English teachers are the first batch of outsiders to fit into Korea’s Confucian-oriented social system. There is a lot of confusion about how to cut and paste us into their rigid hierarchy. We are square pegs trying to penetrate a circular hole, and Koreans are trying to protect their concept of life. Once English teachers are marginalized it is easier to treat us with less respect. The same accusations made against minority groups abroad are directed at westerners in Korea. We are labeled as unhygienic, criminally inclined, sexually deviant, and morally bankrupt. We have become scapegoats to their social problems. Once we are viewed as less desirable human beings than swindling teachers is an easy step. But, like many other minority groups we are given the right to leave – just as long as we are not hassled by customs officials at the Incheon airport – and, like frantic black and white dots on a television channel, English teachers come and go in this problematic cultural exchange with locals. </p>\n<p>Korea’s ESL industry, in 2005, has gone through many changes. It has grown to massive proportions. There is almost 100 English teachers in Kumi. The expatriate population has mote than tripled in the last five years. There are now three major expatriate clubs: the Rolling Stone, the S-Bar, and Psycho (the latter is operated by American and Korean investors). There is also the first western/locally owned restaurant, the Waegook Cook, that specializes in international cuisine. The Waegook Cook, in particular, is a good place for cross cultural mixing since it has a significant number of young and progressive Korean patrons. These popular meeting spots are crucial establishments for expatriates to swap notes. English teachers inform newbies about bad schools and provide advance warning about the treatment of former employees. However, they are more frequently used for a nice party. The large expatriate population is so huge that it has splintered into cliques, and it isn’t as tight or as supportive as when there was a small community of 30 teachers in 1999. The magnitude of Korea’s ESL industry has starkly grown, and the relationships among expatriates has been altered, but the old behavior of royally screwing English teachers out of contractual obligations has remained the same. </p>\n<p>What made my hogwon special was that the director honored her contract. She treated me with respect. For this reason, I was willing to return to Korea to help her out at a time of financial crisis. Korea is still suffering from the worldwide recession that started in 2002. Economic hardships in western countries have pushed university graduates into Korea for employment. The global demand for English has inspired many Korean entrepreneurs to start up hogwons. Many laid off factory workers and public administrators have jumped onto this bandwagon, too. The number of hogwons has increased to such volume that there are always schools looking for native English speakers. School owners are even willing to settle for teachers with zero experience and dodgy pasts. To put this growth in perspective, in 1999 there were only about a about five hogwons in my remote district, today there is almost thirty. There is a saturation of English teacher all over Korea, yet there is still a shortage. In order to keep students enrolled, a school must find native English speakers to increase marketability. In order to pull English teacher in owners make contractual promises that they know can’t be kept. As happened in Asia’s 1997-1998 financial crisis, those foreign hires can be later exploited to milk maximum profits – even if that means dishonoring legal obligations. </p>\n<p>The ESL industry is spinning out of control. Regardless of massive competition, new hogwons get opened every week. These private schools have exploded at such a prolific rate that many are unable to maintain profits. The limited amount of children get spread among dozens of competitor schools. Profits thin out after awhile. When I left Korea in 2000 my school had over two hundred children, by 2005 this number had been cut in half. The poor economy has exasperated the situation. Parents are having difficulty saving enough tuition money for their children. Many have adopted a new tactic that I call “hogwon hopping”. Parents postpone tuition payments as long as possible, and when the owner pressures for payment they promptly pull that student out of class. They vanish into the vortex of a competing hogwon only to start the same process once again. There are so many hogwons that parents can ride this wave of non-payment for months. The cutthroat competition has made parents ruthless. They demand refunds if their child’s grades don’t improve. They complain about an English teacher’s pedagogic style. The threaten to enroll students at a competitor school if the owner doesn’t reduce tuition costs. The business then tries to regroup these losses by extracting income from teacher salaries – and, I remember a time when parents thanked me and brought me gifts of fruit.</p>\n<p>The competition among hogwons has become nasty. Advertisement flyers for private schools blanket my apartment door every week. Sometimes opposing schools will send people to rip them down. School bus drivers can be recruited to spy on other schools and distribute this information. Competitors will spread rumors that an English teacher behaves immorally. They can drop hints about drug use or pedophilia. Eventually, these false claims are jumped on by the media without thorough investigation. Then the bad reputation spreads about the evils of this foreign minority. The next step is to distrust foreign English teachers and to further marginalize them. Once we are perceived as foul and immoral beings, people who are inclined toward sexual depravity and criminal disposition, then it is much easier to justify endless cheating on contracts. This is a self-fulfilled prophesy: well qualified teachers find more professionally rewarding markets elsewhere, good teachers burn out from exploitation and put less preparation time into class, and then the dregs of the teaching world start spilling in. In time, English teachers can grow to fit their stereotype, and the destructive cycle keeps revolving.</p>\n<p>When I returned to Korea in July, after gaining my TEFL certificate, my school had nearly fallen from insolvency. The owner tried to save money by forcing Korean teachers to work full weekends for no extra pay. She withheld salaries from them for weeks on end. In results there was a complete turnover of Korean teachers. They all quit their jobs at the same time, and many of the students left with them. Well liked teachers keep students enrolled, and when one quits school morale drops. Let down children will transfer to other private schools, and take their friends with them. Competitor hogwons were happy to scoop them up. My director could not compete with newer schools. They had nicer furniture and cleaner walls. Their air conditioners still worked.</p>\n<p> Many competitors invested big money in the design of their building. Some schools have elaborate architecture to catch a child’s eye – spiraling staircases, gothic turrets, and brightly painted primary colors. A few hogwons have a Disney-like appearance, complete with playgrounds and cartoon themes. Some hogwons have adopted controversial enrollment increasing tactics. For example, one popular new trend is installing cameras into the classroom so parents could anonymously spy via home computer. An even greater threat was private franchises. Big names such as GnB, Global, ECC, English First, Prime, and Wonderland could swallow family-operated schools alive. Corporate chains could purchase books and supplies in mass quantities for a cheaper price. They could permanently employ their own recruiting agencies. They had advertising funds. The one selling point of my family-operated school was that it had the only native English speaker in the district. It was the one niche that kept my boss in business.</p>\n<p>It is extremely risky to work for a school in the middle of financial hardship. Expatriates have insisted that I am foolish for even considering it. I even accepted a cut in pay that placed me well below my market price. My motive was based on principle. If an employer treats me with respect and honor I will mirror it back to them. If they honor my contract, so will I. Thus, I have never called in sick or reported late to work. My family has a strong working class ethic. My parents worked for the same company most their lives, and they educated me on the value of loyalty. I wanted to show a commitment to the principle of honor. Besides, I enjoyed the idea of helping a family-run school with its development. I hated watching large corporations mow them down. Therefore, I was willing to take the risk. I wondered if my contributions could develop a small Korean school, in a remote district, at the grassroots level. Could I keep this establishment alive? I viewed it as a test. I wanted to learn about Korea’s capacity to build friendships with foreigners. There is too much animosity recently between Koreans and westerners, and I wanted to transcend these social politics. </p>\n<p>My relationship with my boss was based on trust. She treated me with respect in the past, so I would return the favor. I have helped her to find three replacement teachers since I first left in 2000. She, in turn, has aided me in hard times. She wired me funds for a ticket when I was broke and sleeping in a public park in Berlin. It took trust to do that. I could have absconded with this money and never seen her again. I was hit hard by the recession in the United States and unable to find employment there. My desperate struggle to work in Europe failed to turn up anything reliable before my money ran out. If she could trust me than I would offer her the same. My last day in Korea – before I left to get my TEFL certificate in Thailand – my boss took me for a car ride on a recently opened highway leading to Kumi. She confessed that she had to undergo major surgery in July. Doctors would require her to take two weeks off while in recovery. The school would have to close down without my help. If its doors were shut they might never open again, because students would have enrolled at a competitor school during her absence. We made a mutual agreement in her car on that day. I promised to return for ten weeks after I finished obtaining my teaching certificate. She offered to give me a raise, my return airfare, and the severance allowance. Now, with a fully packed suitcase and two more days to go, I am about to enter judgment day. Will my contract be honored? We meet again tomorrow for our last time. I will soon find out about the power of trust.<br />\n****</p>\n<p>There is an important moral dilemma in finding replacement teachers. You are not sure what you are getting the next person into. The quality of a teacher is also a mystery until you see them in action. Since my contract’s date was about to expire I didn’t want to leave my employer in a bind, especially at a time of financial hardship. She was still in the hospital from surgery and unable to look for English teachers herself. On one hand, she had honored our past contracts and treated me with respect. But, there were also warning signs in the distance. After I returned to Korea, in July, my monthly payment date was switched from the 25th to the 10th without explanation. In consequence, I needed to wait six weeks before my first paycheck. When the 10th finally rolled around, only part of it was given to me. I was told that the next installment would come later (and it did after another two weeks). More importantly, airfare had been subtracted out of my salary. The agreement was that she would pay for my return from Thailand – after all, I did turn down many job offers. She wired me money for a ticket, an act requiring great trust, but decided later to withdraw it from my salary. I could practically smell the smoke coming out of the burning aircraft.<br />\nI had mixed feelings about putting a replacement in my shoes, especially with all the financial problems at my school. But, I was willing to see what I could do. I wasn’t just trying to insure that my contract bonuses would get paid. Still, Many English teachers are heavily pressured to fish for foreigners at the end of a contract. Sometimes they are even threatened with punitive fees if they don’t come up with the goods. It is comical how innovative teachers can get when their last paychecks might not roll in. I know several teachers who pretended that they were their own future recruit. They sent their employer bogus e-mails under a different account name. They included attachments of their best friend’s photograph, and designed phoney degrees on a computer. As a crowning touch to the façade the “recruit” imposter demanded confirmation that the current teacher that he/she got their severance package. Once paid, these English teacher quietly tiptoed out of Korea, only to fire off an e-mail to their boss later, under the false identity of the “recruit”, to say that they changed their mind. Their former directors were left empty handed.</p>\n<p>My search for a replacement turned up six reasonable candidates. This list makes a great cross-section of those seeking work in Korea. The top of the list was an ESL professional with a MA degree in English and a CELTA certificate. He spoke Korean well and had two years experience. He was willing to consider the position for 2.0 million Won (far below his market price). The second candidate was a blonde-haired American woman with a BA and five month experience (her employment was terminated early to avoid contract bonuses). She was already in Korea and willing to work as low as 1.9 million Won, if she was given two weeks vacation during Christmas time. The third English teacher was a Canadian woman fresh out of university with a BA in Anthropology. She had absolutely zero experience and had never traveled abroad before. The fourth candidate was a Korean-American who wanted to learn about his roots. He was willing to work as low as 1.8 million Won. The fifth candidate was a South African male who spoke fantastic Korea, and who had great local references. He had a MA degree and two years of teaching experience. Since he came from South Africa, a country Koreans know more for its Black citizens than its English usage, he was willing to work as low as 1.7 million Won. The final candidate was a Scottish baker who needed employment and a place to stay as quick as possible. He lived temporarily with a girlfriend in Kumi, but had just been fired by his employer (who screwed him out of back pay and contract promises). All candidates were willing to sign a contract due to my positive reference.</p>\n<p>I asked my school owner to narrow the list down to two candidates and an alternative in case one backed out at the last second. The ESL professional was the first off the list. He wanted too much money. The South African and Korean-American were also eliminated without serious consideration. I imagine that this was because they were perceived as non-Caucasian, which is slightly ironic since the former was a white Afrikaner and the latter was raised in a totally western environment. Female teachers are desirable because they have better reputations with children. Women can ask for higher salaries than their male counterparts and often receive them. However, the one who wanted vacation time became the alternate, and eventually she was struck off the list. The most desirable candidates were the ones willing to work for cheap. This proved the defining criteria of teacher qualifications. It helped to live in Korea already, to save employers from airfare reimbursements, but the overall requirement was the size of requested salaries. My school owner hesitated too long, and both women were quickly snapped up by different hogwons. The final candidate was the most unpredictable and desperate one. He needed emergency income and a place to live. I had time to warn him before he actually signed. </p>\n<p>He agreed to sign a contract during my final week. All he had to do was to see the hogwon before sealing the deal. I suggested that our director should meet him at the train station, since it would be difficult for a foreigner to find our obscure hogwon which was off in the remote horizon. For some reason my suggestion was rejected, however, I didn’t care because I had already done my part. I put one and one together. It was the owner’s and the recruit teacher’s responsibility to add up the sum of two parts into a mutual contract. I was not getting a recruiter fee for my efforts. It was no longer my business anymore.<br />\n****<br />\nIt was time for the grand event. The showdown of our contract. I was about to learn about the power of trust. My employer was out of the hospital and was returning to work. My services were no longer needed, my promises had been fulfilled, and the date on my contract was about to expire. I barely had time to buy my ticket and get to the airport. My residency card and E2 visa would be nullified in a matter of days. Above all, I hated this feeling of not knowing. Would I get trapped, swindled, or manipulated? Would I become a caged animal in Korea? Usually, when I leave a country there is a sense of celebration. I am taken to dinner parties and given gifts for the road. When I left colleges in Hungary and Thailand there was a feeling of gratitude and accomplishment. There was no doubt that I would get timely paid and my bonuses awarded to me. However, this is South Korea and I worked at a hogwon. My overall emotion was anxiety. I had no idea how much money would be in my pocket when I left Korea. I was too afraid to exchange money in advance or to wire funds home. Severance pay and airfare are important, but I still hadn’t even received my last month’s salary. I was reluctant to celebrate with English teachers or to even buy anyone lunch. I had no room to spare. My budget was tight as always. It was time for the last dialogue, and it could be roughly paraphrased as this: </p>\n<p>ME: “Hello, Ms. ______ tomorrow is pay day. I made a ticket reservation and I need to purchase it soon. Can you tell me how much money will be in my bank account”.<br />\nOWNER: “Well, you know that my school has had a hard time. The Korean economy is very bad”.<br />\nME: “Yes, I know. This is why I came back to Korea to help you out”.<br />\nOWNER: “This is a hard time. Parents don’t pay me. Many students leave”.<br />\nME: “Yes, but I did what I promised. My contract expires soon and the government demands that I leave South Korea”.<br />\nOWNER: “You can extend your contract”.<br />\nME: “But, I have found you a replacement teacher. I have an university job lined up in Thailand. I told you this before I even came back”.<br />\nOWNER: “Yes, but you only worked ten months. A contract is usually one year”.<br />\nME: “My contract states that you will pay me return airfare and my bonus on August 15th. You also promised me this in your car before I left for Thailand in March. Otherwise, I might not have come back”.<br />\nOWNER: “I think it is impossible to give you that money. When I said that I meant that you must come back to work for six more months”.<br />\nME: “But, I accepted a major cut in pay to help you out. I paid for my visa run to Japan. You subtracted airfare from my salary every time. I even found you an replacement. A recruitment agent will charge you up to $1,500. I have done this at no cost. I did what I promised you I would do”.<br />\nOWNER: “I thank you for your friendship and for helping me out”.<br />\nME: “Yes, your welcome, but what I need to know is how much money will be in my bank account”.<br />\nOWNER: “ I will pay your monthly salary, minus the money you will owe me for next month’s utility bills”.<br />\nME: “I think that I should be given something. I understand the business is bad lately, but I have made sacrifices to be here. We can renegotiate. Pay me for either airfare or my bonus salary. You can choose. At least offer me something for my effort”.<br />\nOWNER: “Maybe one day I can send money to your bank account in Thailand”. </p>\n<p>… So, to answer the shining question – will I be paid return airfare and the severance bonus promised in my contract? – well, the answer was “no”. The best I could hope for was that maybe there would be a check in the mail. One could debate either side. I had spent ten weeks in SE Asia, which we both agreed upon in advance. I took a major cut in pay in compensation. Does a contract get nullified due to a working vacation or sabbatical? Some will say that I got what I deserved. When I left in March it was on good terms. Why was I asked to come back? Now, a positive working relationship had gone sour. My bonus package was not paid, and I even suffered the humiliation of utility deduction. This wasn’t friendship, it was just a standard business arrangement. I focused on the principle of trust, but in the end it was money as usual. My were two people in great financial duress arguing about scraps. I wasn’t even treated to a complimentary dinner out of gratitude.</p>\n<p>My time in South Korea wasn’t a total loss. I did gain a few positive things. Working here enabled me to earn my TEFL certificate. It got me off the streets and helped me to buy a brand new piece of luggage. It was packed and ready to load on a plane. At least, I wouldn’t be empty handed. I had no plans to blacklist my school or waste my energy on revenge. This is South Korea. It is better to cut your losses and run. My moral responsibility now lay with the English teachers that I had recruited. They needed to be forewarned. I sent the following batch e-mail to all of them. I made it simple and sweet: “Warning: I can no longer guarantee this school will honor its contracts. It is suffering many financial hardships at the moment. Although this owner has been respectful of me in the past this hogwon’s future is unpredictable. Proceed at your own risk”.</p>\n<p>I barely made it to the airport before my hogwon owner sent messages to me in desperation. The recruit English teacher had changed his mind. The hogwon was located in such a remote area that he couldn’t find it. Korean streets seldom have names and its buildings lack numbers. The only landmarks in my districts are dozens of apartment towers. He got lost, gave up, and went home. He ended up drinking in an expatriate bar all night instead. While sipping his first beer that evening another English teacher informed of a better offer. It promised an inflated salary, because it was an emergency situation. The school had just lost its teacher due to a midnight run. With one phone call to my employer he backed out. My director was in dead panic. All of a sudden she had no teachers. The new semester was about to start. She asked if I could help her with last minute recruitment. “Sorry,” I told her, “I just don’t have the funds for that. I would like to help you as a friend, but it isn’t written in my contract”. </p>','','2005-09-01 04:22:18',1,'2005-09-01 04:22:18','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(206,11,'The madness to the methods','the-madness-to-the-methods','The often crazy world of teaching in Korea','Despite being sequestered on the furthest border of the Kumi frontier, nearly fifteen miles away from the closest foreign teacher, I am still surrounded by hagwon mania.

Corporate cells split into new franchises, and family schools spontaneously generated from the fertile remains of rice paddies. In just seven weeks, since my return to Korea, I have witnessed the construction of three new schools in my area, one of them is boldly located directly next door from my own hagwon. On a single five minute walk around my private school I counted 15 educational institutes. This detail should be surprising when you realize the remote location where I live. Despite being sequestered on the furthest border of the Kumi frontier, nearly fifteen miles away from the closest foreign teacher, I am still surrounded by hagwon mania. These private schools are everywhere. Due to all this severe competition, schools habitually search for new angles to draw in students. At times the teaching methods advocated are only passing fads and cheap gimmicks. However, these miracle methodologies are important components of Korea’s ESL industry. Everybody wants a painless short cut to learning English. The Holy Grail of the ESL industry is finding that easy methodology. </p>\n<p>Many English teachers experiment with a variety of methods to see whatever works. They scatter magical beans into a classroom hoping to sprout that beanstalk towards fluent English. Students sign up for courses that promise a miracle methodology that builds perfect English in only four weeks. Late night television advertisements beckon audiences with vows to install impeccable RP English dialects with a series of cassette tapes – just play them while you sleep and let subconscious learning powers kick in. The problem is that language takes a lot of time and energy to learn. There isn’t an instant formula which you can just add water and consume when necessary. It is easy to get discouraged when English fluency doesn’t automatically pour in after forking over tuition money. The learning process can be long and expensive. </p>\n<p>There is the English language full of grammar and rules; there is also the language underneath the syntax being taught. Teachers, directors, students, and parents want to quantify and measure immediate results, but language can be an abstract communicative tool – full of cultural subtleties, double entendres, insider jargon, absurd idioms, and tonal subtext. How do we, then, know that our pedagogic techniques are having impact? Since language development can be ambiguous, and testing procedures equally problematic, many miracle methods have been advanced as alternative solutions. After all, why not save money by going for the quick fix? Just buy this product and allow English to sprout to life as easily as a Sea Monkey® or Ghia Pet®. </p>\n<p>Some methods promoted recently in Korea are wild and unusual. Others seem to be based on more sound reasoning. Some are slightly outdated methodologies that have been around for decades. Many classrooms toss them all together in one big academic blender. Sip from this volatile cocktail and gain linguistic enlightenment, or just end up broke with your head spinning from the elixir once again. I make no claims or promises about the reliability of each methodology. I only want to document some of the pedagogic patterns and classroom experiments happening in Korea. Are these methods effective? I’ll let the readers decide for themselves. However, it would be wise to explore the trends happening in Korea’s ESL industry. Many of the methods used in Korea today will be adopted by other Asian countries tomorrow. Perhaps it is time to put these Korean methodologies under the microscope:</p>\n<p>Grammar Translation – This is perhaps one of the world’s oldest methodologies. Students memorize grammar rules, verb structures, and vocabulary words. They laboriously translate words, phrases, and literary text from one language into another. Grammar translation was most useful while Korea was still in its Hermit Kingdom stage, having minimal interaction with outsiders. English was used almost exclusively in the form of writing and reading. Speaking English was a rare opportunity. This method tended to be highly structured around the teacher. In the old days, Korean Yangban scholars emphasized grammar translations while whacking novices with sticks for making mistakes. The bruised and humbled students seldom asked questions in class or debated personal theories about language acquisition. </p>\n<p>The problem is that this method is still most widely used in modern times. The strict discipline and funny yangban hats have gone wayside, but Korean teachers still employ grammar translations without fail. Korean teachers often lack proper speaking and writing skills, so they turn to former methods that they can understand. They resort to the grammar translation methods because that was the technique used on them as students. Translations can be easily graded since the predicted response is either right of wrong. The Korean education system is very test focused. Progress is measured by filling in bubbles on an multiple choice exam. A high school student’s future is determined by whatever score is coughed out of the machine. A factory worker’s chance of promotion can be measured by the mathematical outcome of a TOEIC exam. Therefore, language development emphasizes a quantitative number rather than the actual capacity to speak English.</p>\n<p>I have witnessed first hand the limits of grammar translation methodology. Many of the highest ranking high school students, crumble in shyness when asked the simplest questions. They have a large dormant vocabulary that they can seldom trigger quick enough to form a conversational sentence. Moreover, creative thought and persuasive essay writing are seldom encouraged. Opinions and philosophies are too subjective. They don’t fit into a simple grading process. I have had adult students beg me to tell them the correct answer for an opinion paper, so that they would know how to write the essay. As Korea adapts to the global community, it has become evident that English needs to be used to have any real purpose. What good is all this language practice if it can’t be applied to daily life? By the time students hit university level they begin to desperately search for new means of practicing English. For many the next step is the audio-linguistic method.</p>\n<p>Audio-Linguistic Method – This method’s roots are in the behavioral psychologists movement of the 1940s. The student repeats phrases and sounds until they have been memorized, and the learner acquires the ability to reproduce them instinctively. In other words, they tediously repeat language patterns until they become an ingrained habit. Context and writing are downplayed to emphasize rote verbal drilling. One of the most popular behavioral psychologists, B.F. Skinner, used a combination of electroshock and positive reinforcements to induce mice to scamper through a maze. I am not sure if any English learners have been strapped up to a car battery, and electrocuted for improper use of third person singular, but we live in a sick world so it might have been possible. It should probably not shock anyone (no pun intended, well actually a little) that the United States proudly stood behind this approach to language acquisition. In the height of World War II and the following Cold War soldiers needed to be trained pronto in speech mimicry. The army promoted ceaseless drilling, memorization of dialogues, and formulaic pronunciation. It was natural that these methods were also incorporated by post-war Korea. </p>\n<p>Fast forward to the early 1990s. The private language schools, known as hagwons, had just been legalized once again after being banned from 1981 to 1989 by military dictator Chun Doo-hwan. Korea was still rapidly industrializing, while competing with its ancient nemesis, Japan, and English started becoming a highly marketable job skill. The Korean government had even made English a requirement at elementary school level. The rigid teacher-centered classroom persisted, but rather than straight up translation students now worked on listening and pronunciation skills. Since there was a serious lack of “foreign” English speakers, Korean teachers substituted cassette tapes or attempted to produced “foreign” phonics in class by themselves. The audio-linguistic approach was a popular method at this time, but the lack of western English teachers was having its toll. Tapes machines are easier to procure then low paid foreign teachers. Therefore, students continued listening to English recorded on cassette tapes and mimicked phrases verbally. In the meantime, the government and recruiting agencies struggled to bring in foreign teachers. A plethora of new English teachers would soon arrive from the west. </p>\n<p>A large and significant number of adult students still prefer the audiolingual method today. They listen to English cassettes on their way to work. They religiously view popular television programs on which English is produced, chanting out loud to whatever phrase is being broadcast. Many adult students print out list of phrases found online, which they wish to replicate in the classroom. They insist on reading them to me out loud to see if I can understand, or have me enunciate these phrases so they can repeat them afterward. This has some effect on learning, but these adult students seldom grasp the context behind these phrases. The don’t understand the appropriate timing to use them, nor can they comprehend the meaning if one word in a memorized dialogue has been substituted. If they studied “How are you doing?” that week, then they might get lost later with the alternative phrase, “How are you feeling”. The meaning is no longer understood outside of the memorized verbatim. Audio-linguistic remains a common strategy towards English dialogue. However, there is a ghost inherited in this machine.<br />\nFrom the beginning, Korean teachers were the ones in charge of flipping cassette players on and off. They drilled students endlessly from books and forced them to memorize entire sentences. The problem was that few of these Korean teachers could pronounce English correctly themselves. Students mimicked the very mistakes in verb tenses, pronouns, article, and countable nouns that the teachers made. Korean learners of English simply replicated the linguistic quirks of their Korean teachers. This hybrid of flawed English evolved over time into what is known as “Konglish”. Many Koreans now commonly embrace “Konglish” as a source of national pride. It is considered cool or cute to use this inaccurate “homegrown” English, despite the fact that native speakers are oblivious to what is being said. “Konglish” has become so commonplace that even foreign English teachers catch themselves using it by mistake in the classroom. </p>\n<p>There is an enormous catalogue or “English” words or styles of pronunciation only spoken by Koreans. Western visitors will be surprised to hear that a gas station is called an “oil bank”, a rear end is called a “hip”, and a mobile phone is called a “hand phone”. Pizza is pronounced as “Pi-ja”, change is called “chanj-ee”, and apartment is articulated as “apat-eu” (epenthesis included). Air conditioners and remote controls have been dubbed “air con” and “remote con”. If you split a dinner tab with Korean friends it is called “Dutch pay”. If this isn’t confusing enough, a menu will offer tasty mistranslated entrees such as “chicken stuffed with spinach and crap [sic]” or “grope fish with paper sase [sic]”. “Konglish” and bad translation combine to form the most atrocious English. Advertisements often promote meaningless English slogans. School supply companies use awkward English to encourage product sales. Children’s pencil cases, notebooks, and T-shirts are notoriously decorated with flowery speeches in mutated English. Today, I gathered the following examples in just a few minutes of a single class:</p>\n<p>“Please say ‘love’ to me instead of ‘happy’. I am happy to be with you”.<br />\n“Deep ocean mind. Always reserved seat. Only to one constant concerns.”<br />\n“Take it & ... smile dreaming in your mind. Sweet happy sensual jeans.”<br />\n“Anytime. Anywhere. Don’t forget a feeling the you wanna be ate.”<br />\n“Fresh fruits just dream that is in my heart.”<br />\n“International Basic R. Juciey World.”<br />\n“About me break your heart.”</p>\n<p>This Frank-n-English can’t be blamed by the audio-linguistic approach alone. It has evolved from randomly splicing together disembodied limbs of syntax. It has mutated after filtering dusty cassette tapes through rattling speakers. It has grown from 2-3 generations of Korean teachers who were trying to comprehend English themselves, even while they were teaching it. English runs amok and mistakes are duplicated when Korean teachers are exclusively in charge of the drills and pronunciation exercises. Drills can’t work if students are unable to make lexical substitutes, dialogue memorization has little impact if the necessary communication is in written form, and pronunciation corrections in “Konglish” will not improve matters much either. This methodology is weakened by a foreign English speaker’s absence. The native speakers offers the context behind speech. On the other hand, how effective is it, really, when that same native English speaker also narrows activity down to repetitious drills, memorization exercises, and formulaic speech dialogues? The audio-linguistic approach has its limits. It was for this reason that Korean Congress changed its education policies in the mid-1990s to allow additional hiring of foreign teachers. As a new wave of native speakers saturated Korea’s ESL industry, they brought new methodologies with them. The biggest trend in the west an this time was Community Language Teaching.</p>\n<p>Community Language Teaching – CLT methodology has its roots in the liberal 1970s. There was a paradigm shift in education to allow student-centered learning. Efforts were made to help students overcome their fears in the classroom, and to make their learning environment more comfortable. Students had a larger role in determining topics, they were given greater participation opportunities, and strict discipline was frowned upon. English teachers experimented with new classroom activities: warmers, coolers, games, role plays, drama, physical activity, free-talking, pair work, and one-on-one dialogue. Even the shape of the classroom and its seating arrangements shifted around. Teachers sometimes sat at eye level with students or placed tables in a circle. The teacher often took on the role of a facilitator, who got the ball rolling and let the students carry the bulk of classroom time. The teacher guided students and pointed them in the right direction, but it was from the position of support rather than authority.<br />\nBy the late 1990s Korea had already filled with a large number of native English speakers. As they flowed into Korea they brought the influential methods practiced in the west. These English teachers were often educated in the Community Language learning environment as youths. It was natural for these recent college graduates to apply the same techniques abroad. It must have seemed very strange for Koreans to watch foreigners rearrange chairs, encourage students to move around physically, and to ask questions about personal affairs. From what I have seen many Korean teachers are reluctant to diverge from traditional methodology. They still like to stand in front of the class lecturing all day in the local tongue. I have witnessed an astonishing number of English classes, taught by Koreans, in which not a single English word was spoken. The classroom style still tends to be hierarchically rigid and highly structured around teachers needs. Locals might attempt mixing in some CLT activities; but tedious translations, monotonous audio tapes, and routine memorization are still the norm. Korean teaching methods are slowly changing, but not necessarily in the direction of western styles. There has always been a level of distrust about foreign methodologies, and doubt persists about how well they can be applied within Asian cultures.</p>\n<p>The goal is for learners to acquire English as quickly as possible, and the presence of native speakers hasn’t proved a fast enough remedy. The novelty of foreign teachers has worn off, and competition is so tight that Korean hagwons need something more than a native speakers to allure new students into enrolling. After nearly one decade of watching foreign English teachers – many with no experience or teaching certificates – there seems to be some rebellion against western ways. Koreans are not convinced that methods such as CLT work with their own citizens. They have amused themselves watching westerners stumble around the classroom trying to make students practice English. They have seen young and inexperienced teachers fall apart in frustration, and their methods crumble to dust under the weight of energetic 12-year-olds. Koreans have also grown apprehensive about Community Language Teaching. In response, they are trying to invent there own “homegrown” methodologies. Each hagwon seems to advertise some new fad or gimmick. Since Korea’s economy is founded on industrialization, it isn’t surprising that many private schools favor the use of technology in the classroom. </p>\n<p>Technological Approach I (Screen English) – This technological approach goes back at least to the 1920s, when radio and film were brought into classrooms as learning tools. Even the use of cassette tapes and overhead projectors (mentioned above) can be summed up as technological methodology. It makes sense. Whenever a new communicative tool is developed, like a computer or a television, some innovative teacher will find a creative ways to put it to use. If students are already fascinated by that technology then they will be more likely to pay attention to the English activity involving it. Korea is a major developer of electronic goods. They produce CD players, LCD monitors, video machines, computer microchips, and other electronic goods. Naturally, all these resources could be brought together in the educational environment. The hottest trend catching on at this moment is “Screen English”.<br />\nScreen English involves a combination of movies and books. Children are provided comic book versions of popular stories: Three Little Pigs, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin’s Magic Lamp, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. Half of the book contains words scripted in English, the second half has the same pictures but with empty bubbles. The students fill in the captions in both their native tongue and the target language. Basically, this technique is a combination of translation, memorization, and practice writing. However, it has a twist. Students are invited to view a movie of that selected book 1-2 times per week. The movie comes in the VCD/DVD medium, so teachers can pause the movie to repeat specific sequences. They can also highlight text with a computer mouse and click on links to hear official pronunciation. My hagwon also requires students to memorize this dialogue, so that they can act it out later in a classroom performance. Screen English approaches learning with a four pronged attack: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.</p>\n<p>The students love Screen English. It is like watching a Saturday morning cartoon, but they can get away with it because it is educational. Sometimes they load up on snacks and soft drinks as if it was a celebration. Children fight for the best seats closest to the screen. It is a special event that few of them miss. They wouldn’t hesitate to view these films in marathon sessions because it reminds them of television, but instead of commercial breaks they are diverted by a lecturing teacher. Screen English recognizes that children’s attention spans have been dwarfed by massive viewing of television and computer games. It attempts to present education in a more entertaining way – as some people cynically refer to as “edutainment”. </p>\n<p>I am not allowed to conduct Screen English in my classrooms. This methodology is reserved exclusively for Korean teachers. It is considered wasteful to squander native English speaker’s time on recorded video techniques. We have been hired to produce proper speaking skills in a live environment. Therefore, Screen English is the methodological baby of Korean teachers alone. My role in Screen English is as the final audience, who ultimately grades children’s performances. The grand finale of Screen English is when they perform the material with a public presentation. The have done this as sing-a-longs, skits, and staged productions. I watch them playfully act out their parts or read from scripts. Basically, I clap and give them encouragement. </p>\n<p>I must admit Screen English has my curiosity. The children learn by having fun, but I am still somewhat skeptical. In many ways this technique is a lot like the audio-linguistic method on steroids. It still involves the same drilling and memorization, but with remote controlled video mixed in. I wasn’t thrilled to see Screen English’s advertising campaign, which uses the faulty slogan, “Enjoy sea of English Curriculum Natural method [sic]”. What exactly is the ECN method? The book’s are attributed to the Seattle based English Research Institute, but neither my friends or I have heard of them despite Seattle being our mutual hometown. Their claim is that they teach by sound recognition rather than alphabetic memorization. They also promise the bonus that this method prepares students for future TOEIC, TOEFL, and PELT exams. Korean parents must love the idea that Screen English will help improve exam scores – which seems like the ultimate goal of Korean education. However, as an English teacher I wonder if English Curriculum Natural method is not just another gimmick. At times it appears like old methods repackaged with new technology. Still, there is no denying that children love Screen English. Maybe the fact that they are entertained will make them open their minds to advanced learning. </p>\n<p>It is hard for me to know how effective Screen English is, because I am not allowed to experiment with it at my hagwon. Many hagwons heavily promote Screen English as a recruitment tool, but I don’t know a single native speaker who has done it first hand. It is always the Korean teacher who holds that remote control. They are the ones who conduct these classes and manage the methodology. For native English speakers, an entirely different technology is reserved for us: the telephone. </p>\n<p>Technological Approach II (Telephone Teaching) – Every week thousands of native English teachers across Korea sit down in front of telephones dialing from lists of numbers. No, this action is not telemarketing or boiler room side projects. Telephone teaching is basically English practice via telephone. This technological method has really taken off in Korea, and it is now standard practice at most hagwons. Telephone teaching is a non-official requirement. It is not listed in contacts, nor is it considered actual classroom work. Teachers don’t usually get paid to do it. This extracurricular work is usually considered a freebie (in true hagwon tradition). Parents pay a specified amount of tuition for a number of classes, and as a special reward native English teachers will call students at home 1-2 times per week. It has been compared to the special prize in a McDonald’s happy meal box – something added to the educational package non-gratis. However, parents have come to expect it and demand telephone practice sessions every week. </p>\n<p>The way it works is that teachers call students at home for conversation, hopefully within ear shot of their eavesdropping parents. The teacher spends the next 3-5 minutes with the student, either having conversation or going over homework together. Telephone Teaching borders on a publicity campaign. When parents hear that their child is actually speaking English to a westerner they are more likely to keep that student enrolled. It is live evidence that there money is being put to good use. Unfortunately, most native English teachers hate telephone teaching. They begrudgingly plug through the sessions because they are forced to. The fact that it is usually non-paid labor is not forgotten by foreigners, who resent extras that are not numerated in advance in the work contract. Many English teachers feel foolish talking with parents who are unable to comprehend their requests to speak with students. However, an overall complaint is poor scheduling. Teachers have to fit phone calls in between classes rather than prepare material for the following lesson. Students are often absent or playing outside, so teachers must call multiple times trying to track them down. By the time, all the students have been called the non-gratis work has really added up in hours. Teachers put in as many as ten extra hours every month.</p>\n<p>Contrary to popular opinion, I advocate phone teaching. I have had a lot of success with it. It is my one chance to really connect with students one-on-one. In the classroom students can be very wild and disinterested in English. However, place them on a telephone in front of their parents and it is amazing how well they behave. It is almost schizophrenic how polite and sweet they are in this context. I can take advantage of this mood to really get them to practice English with me. I grade their phone teaching sessions and put their results in a data base. I can actually track how they develop over time. My positive bias towards phone teaching has much to do with the fact that I get paid to do it most of the time. The hours can add up, however, so that I sometimes do freebies, too. Every week I spend 2-3 hours on the telephone with students. I usually have them practice that week’s material or read from the Let’s Go series. Some hagwons split the task up among teachers or rotate shifts, but I am the only native speaker at my school. Phone teaching is all my responsibility. Luckily, I have been able design the schedule myself to make it worthwhile, but sometimes I am still expected to call a stray student as late as 9:00 PM. I can be frustrating to have to postpone a night out just to dial up a student who missed the schedule appointment. Now, I have a three call limit. If the student misses the phone teaching session after three tries than it is their loss. They will have to wait until the next week for a new round of phone teaching. </p>\n<p>There is a lot of potential for the use of technology in the classroom. There could be a lot more experimentation with film, phones, and the Internet. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) seems to be a hot catch phrase these days in terms of methodology. I have experimented with this medium by creating teacher/student specific e-mail accounts and setting up on-line bulletin boards for informal discussion. It can be more time consuming than anyone imagines, especially when students start taking advantage of the new resource with multiple posts. On-line activity takes a great deal of maintenance and Koreans school owners are not willing to invest in it. Few hagwons even offer computers at school, so teachers would have to pay out of their own pocket for time at an Internet café. The general attitude at Korean private language schools is that this is all freebie labor. They want you to do it without pay. Work only counts in the currency of classroom hours. Therefore, most teacher wouldn’t bother with it. </p>\n<p>The technological approach could be successful in Korea, but only if owners are willing to pay for it and share resources with western teachers. Teachers can’t be expected to call students from their living room or e-mail pupils from their personal computers. Korean owners have to invest in infrastructure such as computer labs or at least compensate teachers for their time. Likewise, technological methods such Screen English should not be segregated. There still tends to be an us/them mentality in terms of technology: film and tapes are only for us, but we will give them telephones. Native English speakers are needed to convey context and proper pronunciation. This was the problem with audio-linguistic method in the first place. However, when it comes to technological methodology Koreans still want to exclusively possess the remote control (or, should I say remote con). Underneath it all is the desire to create a methodology by Koreans for Koreans – something tailor made to fit their own cultural style. They want to control the learning process. In the last few years this goal has taken more extreme forms. The hottest “homegrown” methodology in Korea these days involves the creation of entire English cities – albeit one genetically modified inside a Korean science lab. </p>\n<p>Natural Approach (English Village) – The Natural Approach was introduced by Gottleib Henese and Dr. L. Sauveur around 1866. The general premise is that meaning (of words and phrases) can be created by associating them with objects and actions. Students can learn the target language by the use of props, pantomime, and paraphrase. Teaching is done by active demonstrations, which includes the use of realia (real objects) that students can recognize and identify with. The emphasis is placed on learning the purpose of a word/phrase before articulating the sounds needed to communicate it. Error correction tends to be indirect because learners are expected to understand the importance of meaning. They have to know how a word or phrase can be applied first. In true Korean fashion, this method has been taken to its maximum limit with the creation of English villages. They have become the magical Disneyland in the world of English. </p>\n<p>English Villages are artificial environments that simulate a typical western city. There are reproductions of banks, post offices, restaurants, hotel reception desks, travel agencies, and airport customs counters. Children are submerged in this environment – for up to several weeks at a time – to understand the purpose behind the English language. They can practice English or learn how certain phrases can be applied to real life situations. Children are issued a “passport” to this global village, then they go through the process of immigration. Once inside they can tour artificial banks and visit quasi-post offices. They can practice mailing letters, withdrawing money, making hotel reservations, or ordering food in English. Native English speakers do not work in classrooms or deliver lectures. Teachers are instead hired as actors who portray the roles as bankers, police officers, and immigration officials. English Village cuts much deeply than an English camp, it is full immersion into a synthetic city in which real life situation are role played and English is spoken. </p>\n<p>There is more than one English Villages in Korea. The first was developed in 2004 on Daebu Island, near the Incheon Airport. It was established by the local governor, and is overseen by the English Cultural Foundation. The Korean government observed that a substantial amount of money was leaving the country for study abroad, so they sought ways to retain that money at home. A few enterprising government officials also predicted tourism potential in an English Village (and tour groups are actually arriving on package deals from Japan, Taiwan, and China). Korean hagwons are big business, so government officials and wealthy entrepreneurs wanted to tap into the market of education. They were willing to invest millions of tax dollars in the creation of these educational Disneylands. Before long, other English Villages began to sprout up near Seoul. In October, 2005, the Herald Media Corporation and the Seoul Metropolitan Government opened a new English Village after investing millions of dollars. They elected a mayor for this synthetic city, Mary Louise Heseltine, who happened to be the wife of the Australian ambassador. They expressed the goal of creating a center for community learning that focused on foreign cultures. There are two more English Villages under construction. One is slated for Paju in 2006 and next for Yangpyeong in 2008. There might also be a few English Villages already in operation that I haven’t even heard about.</p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see the directions that these English Village take. How extreme will the take role playing? Will the actors/teachers role play raving drunks on park benches, bribe seeking police officers, or disgruntled postal workers? Will the artificial custom officials conduct full body cavity searches or hotel receptionists lose your luggage? Will realia include broken glass, vile graffiti, and red light districts? Why not install hidden actors that rove around picking pockets and raising havoc? If they want to replicate real life situations, then they ought to really have fun with it. Of course, English Village will always be sanitized and user friendly. It will promote the most positive image possible, the version that people wish to be real. Fair enough, but how well does English Village’s methods actually work? </p>\n<p>The English teacher – or, rather, actors – that I have spoke with all hate this performance work. Work schedules can be chaotic and administrative control over employees very restrictive. There seems to be a high turnover rate due to low morale. One employee complained on-line that he was less of a teacher than he was a trained monkey in a fancy uniform. Others have described the job as strolling around, greeting children, while dressed up in a smelly Mickey Mouse or Goofy style costume? The general consensus is that this activity isn’t really teaching. However, for the children themselves, is this a productive methodology? It probably does build confidence. It most likely helps students to feel more comfortable speaking to foreigners. It is certainly a fun environment for children to playfully engage in English practice. True to the Natural Approach philosophy, children are learning applied English and the context behind language use. They acquire the actual meaning of words, rather than just simply memorizing empty phrases out of a book. It is live dialogue in a safe environment. Students are learning with actual props. They are pantomiming with role plays. Surreal as it might be, English Village does have very positive aspects to it.<br />\nCynics dismiss English Villages as a means for government officials to cash in on English mania. They note how profits are being made from start up funds that included tax dollars. Some critiques also point to budget short falls at public schools, to suggest that the government should be spending this money instead on buying better books and improving the teacher/student ratio. Others see it as a means for the government to latch onto the remote control, to push buttons on a hagwon situation that has gotten out of hand. English Village is a controlled environment that can be staged however someone sees fit, and in this case the “homegrown” technique is one designed by Koreans themselves. How this evolves over time has yet to be seen. But, I fully support any noble attempt to try something different in the ESL world.</p>\n<p>Lexical Approach (Crazy English) – One day, while exploring an adult language school in Busan, I was surprised to witness highly odd student behavior. A group of about eleven fully grown men were frantically waving their hands in the air while shouting English loudly in unison. They ran around in circles making wild physical motions. Sometimes they would sprint up and down the hallway yelling displaced phrases. The Korean teacher was joining in the unusual festivities at the same time. He stood on top of a chair like his students did while shouting out a series of English words at the top of his lungs. For a lack of a better explanation, I dismissed this class room as being full of stark raving crazies, and as it turned out I was right. I had stumbled onto the wild world known as “Crazy English”. </p>\n<p>Crazy English originated from a Chinese man known as Li Yang. As legend has it, Li Yang was studying for an important English test when, out of sheer frustration, he climbed to the top of a building and started shouting. He later discovered that this helped him to memorize English words. Eventually, this methodology would evolve into a minor empire, complete with late night television ads. The general idea is that Asian English learners are too self-conscious to speak in groups. They are afraid of making a mistake in public that will cause them to lose face. There are also inherited social dynamics that demand an unspoken hierarchy. Younger students might be too humble to outshine their older peers, women may fear doing better than their male counterparts, and the most fluent students could be too bashful to stand out. However, the nature of private language schools is that many students can be thrown together regardless of English level. An advanced university graduate student can share a classroom with an elementary level factory worker or a moderate level housewife. In this environment many social constraints will hinder active dialogue. Nobody wants to feel foolish in front of other students or to appear like they are showing off. Crazy English helps adults overcome shyness and social pressure. Everybody is behaving like lunatics together in unison, so there is no stigma attached. The gateway is then open to practice English without restraint.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to put a label on this methodology, but I imagine it approximates a Lexical Approach derivative. This methodology assumes that language acquisition derives from lexical sets of words or phrases, rather than mastery over grammar. Students learn to produce vocabulary and unanalyzed word combinations, that will eventually help with a particular situation. These chunks of words are the raw data to be used for communication. English grammar is secondary, since students will be able to comprehend systematic rules better after lexical development has been accomplished. From what I’ve seen of Crazy English there are few classroom explanations related to grammar. Error corrections are delicate and subtle. The idea is to get student speaking, to help them overcome inhibitions so that they start producing sounds. The repetition of these words and phrases will eventually cause them to be absorbed, and after that bitter pill has been swallowed they will be able to remember them in the proper context. Crazy English seems to be custom made for Northeast Asian English learners. In fact, it has spread like brush fire in China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. </p>\n<p>It was worth trying. Last month I introduced Crazy English techniques into my hagwon. I started with a classroom full of ten-year-old girls. These students had little inhibitions about speaking English in the first place, and I doubt that grammar was ever much of a concern for them. What they enjoyed was the opportunity to make noise and to behave mischievously. I had them recite passages from their Let’s Go textbook while hopping around the room like tiny frogs. I encouraged them to spin rapidly in circles shouting in present continuous tense. I insisted that they leap from chair to chair while balancing countable nouns in plural form. I didn’t explain a single thing about grammar. I just encouraged them to be playful and have fun. To this day I have never heard so much laughter come out of my classroom. These girls now request Crazy English activities from me all the time. Was it education or edutainment? I decided I needed to test this material once again. </p>\n<p>The next day I introduced Crazy English to a class full of 13-year-old boys. This is the class in which Satan, himself, enrolled his demonic spawn. They usually preoccupied themselves by vandalizing furniture, writing on walls, spitting out chewing gum, and fighting among themselves. I figured that since these students were crazy anyway this might be the methodology for them. In minutes I had them wiggling on the ground like epileptics while spouting out modal verbs. I instructed them to slide under the table while calling out superlative forms. I provoked them into standing on their hands while practicing verbal inflections. They loved it. They demanded encores. They ate Crazy English up alive. They invented their own versions of sadistic and unusual techniques to practice English with. I allowed them full permission to behave like total idiots. We held shouting contests. They were blowing out lexical chucks like fraternity brother on a Friday night. However, I realized the Crazy English was destined for a short life span. Before long Korean teachers complained that too much noise was coming out of my classroom. The school owner wondered what all the ruckus was about. I tried to explain that I was only taking the lexical approach, but my pleas for continuance were all dismissed. Crazy English was banned in less than one week.</p>\n<p>… and the eternal question is does all this methodology work? The eternal answer is I don’t know. Who really know why some information remains in a student’s mind or understands how data is forgotten? Was it Crazy English or Community Language Teaching that made that phrase stick? Did my phone teaching cause that word to solidify or did they absorb it earlier from Screen English? The brain is a mysterious tool. It has the power to overwhelm and confuse the very people who own it. Koreans schools play with various methodologies trying to find the magic key. Students risk dollars on miracle fads and gimmicks. Teachers revise techniques and invent new activities every day. We are all looking for the miracle of fluency. The problem is the English progress can never really be measured or attributed to a single methodology. Tests can be given and scores calculated appropriately. However, the outcome is only a number on a printout sheet. It has little to do with real life communication. Language takes years to build up. It takes an amazing amount of time and energy. In the end all these methodologies melt together like a plastic soldier stuck to a light bulb. It all remolds together in a shape that is unique for each student. If English could be embodied into a single entity with an easily recognizable shape, then it would most certainly be in a form wearing a straight jacket. For a lack of better words, I officially name this discombobulated, constantly shape-shifting mass – well, let’s just call it the Madness of English.

Believe me, I asked myself this question even before climbing off the airplane – a particularly grueling journey that involved sleeping overnight in Taiwan on the scratchy carpet of a departure lounge, while waiting for my transfer onto the next morning’s flight. My recently acquired TEFL certificate was gently folded into my carry-on luggage between two books. It was cushioned by a single change of clothing and a toothbrush. Travelers boisterously stepped around me as if I was a toppled chair with a broken leg. Half awake, I reminded myself why I returned to Korea despite a swarm of job offers in Thailand. Of course, money is always a prime factor. I was broke once again after a six week TEFL course in Thailand. I needed to generate income fast, and my former employer was willing to wire me cash. However, a distant promise overrode economic necessity. In the days before leaving Korea I vowed to my hagwon director that I would return to finish the time remaining on my E2 work visa (ten more weeks). I promised her that I would come back to put my TEFL certificate to test. It was a matter of self-respect. I honor my agreements. It is as simple as that.</p>\n<p>            Korea was the same as when I left it. New swarms of hagwons proliferated like rabbits on viagra and cheap wine. Every street twinkled with the latest corporate offspring – doe-eyed upstarts of whatever educational franchise chain. Small, independent, family owned schools struggled to compete; while saturating the nation themselves oblivious to supply and demand. The Korean economy was still suffering, but experiencing a slight quickening like a muscle twitch in an epileptic. It wasn’t exactly healthy, but at least it was moving. Debates continued about unqualified “foreign” English teachers. There had been many recent crackdowns on illegal teachers – a new Korean summer tradition – including those giving private lessons or working second jobs. There were a few symbolic busts and plenty of political posturing. Immigration officials now demanded sealed university transcripts from prospective teachers, and a few teachers have been fined for being outsourced to factories by their hagwon owners. Canadians working on six-month tourist visas were running scared. Filipino teachers quickly took up praising God for not getting deported. In other words, it was the same story as always.</p>\n<p>Anti-American sentiment was as strong as ever, especially after a military vehicle ran over yet another innocent civilian while I was away. There were more demonstrations and the usual demand to remove troops. Koreans youths spent their afternoons protesting the United States and their evenings emulating American fashion styles and musical genres. Meanwhile, bus loads of Koreans punched numbers into cell phones and shouted loudly into them at public places – sounding like schizophrenics babbling incoherently to themselves at a New York soup kitchen. I was probably the only person alive in Korea that hadn’t been text messaged that day. Curly haired ajumas, in puffy flowered pants, sold kim chi on street corners. The rubber-suited disabled elbowed their way down market streets singing into distorted  microphones. Marquees and billboards flashed with the latest Korean hallyu release. Buddhist monks tapped on wooden drums and Christian evangelist pounced on potential conversions. Nothing had changed since my absence. Nothing. Everything was in the same place as when I left the country. Ahhh …Korea … que viva Korea!  I had returned to my familiar home once again. </p>\n<p>It was me rather than Korea that had changed. I was different type of teacher this round. I departed as a typical English teacher, and I returned heroically like a prodigal son with a TEFL award. I had got certified! This achievement tingled with exhilarating sensations; as if I slew a dragon in battle, smoked my first left-handed cigarette, or lost my virginity to a sexy eye-glassed librarian. It felt like a rite or passage. I had crossed over to the other side to professionalism. Teaching could never be the same. So, back in my old apartment, I fixed myself a cup of tea in my favorite ceramic chalice and started planning lessons. I was no longer just an English teacher; I was a hardened grammarian. I would raise my bar to exude heightened standards. To make a good impression I dressed in some of my finest clothing for the first day of class. I even polished my shoes. </p>\n<p>It didn’t work. I got swarmed immediately after walking into class. The children didn’t care if I had a TEFL certificate, they only wanted to be entertained. Within seconds I got repeatedly “dong chimmed”. Dong chimming is a well-known Korean ritual in which children perform the profane gesture of sticking their fingers up your butt (see November’s article). Personally, I prefer a handshake, but I am only a stranger in this strange land. There was little that I could do about it. The Korean youth circled around me strategically and, when the timing was right, they acupunctured my bum with pointed fingers as if to say hello. It felt like tiny fish nibbling. Normally (if this ritual could be considered normal), I would discipline the children on the spot for this activity. However, I allowed it to slide this time. Let them get it out of their system. We could work on classroom management later. </p>\n<p>Over the next two weeks I adapted to a new a new style of teaching – one that could be directly applied to a Korea hagwon. I placed a lot of emphasis on prep time and creating new classroom material. Many skills from the TEFL program proved very useful. The feedback I got about worksheet design or from observed lessons was priceless. I also became more conscious about regulating the timing of a fifty minute class; breaking it up with warmers, coolers, fun activities, and staged language practice. I tried to keep events moving, so children wouldn’t get bored given their short attention spans. I started to keep a teaching journal, so that I could keep tabs about student progress and plan the next week’s lessons accordingly. Since my hagwon wants lessons developed around the Let’s Go textbook series, I pay more attention to the actual content of each unit. What are the actual functions being taught? If that chapter focuses on past continuous tense, lexical sets of colors, or expressing likes/dislikes – then I will develop activities that specifically focus on these goals. I can deliver clearer explanations about grammar and provide examples on the spur of the moment. As an added bonus, I throw in phonic practice whenever applicable. To sum, I am better fulfilling my role as a teacher. </p>\n<p>It is too early, perhaps, to fully understand the full impact of my TEFL certificate. After all, I am still developing as a teacher, which is precisely the reason I took the TEFL course in the first place. However, there are three traits that I have already seen personal change in. One is that I am more confident. I know that my teaching skills have improved and that I understand the English language better than ever before. Two is that my attitude has changed. I am more relaxed in the classroom because I am better prepared. My new attitude allows me to connect with students and build rapport, because I understand where they are coming from as learners. I don’t take misbehavior as a personal insult anymore. Finally, I am more conscious about the gestalt of education. In other words, I am becoming more involved with elements outside the classroom: state educational policy, hagwon politics, parental attitudes, and the responsibility of the children themselves. I find myself wanting to take a more active role at each level. At least, I am more aware at how all these variables interact together. </p>\n<p>I was eager to practice my new TEFL skills. Before I left, the Korean media had widely reported the most negative traits of “foreign” teacher. I wanted to counterbalance these claims with a marketable teaching certificate. I enrolled in the  TEFLworld course on Ko Samui and passed with flying colors. Now, I wanted to see how my new skills would play out. The fact that I am a better teacher is indisputable. When I hear debate in Korea about “unqualified” teachers, I know that this term will  never apply to me again. I did my part to improve myself. I got certified. I have become the type of qualified teacher that Koreans claim they want. Now, it is Korea’s turn to improve its own educational policies. And, it as at this point in which this article digresses from discussion about the value of teaching certificates. </p>\n<p>****</p>\n<p>What am I doing back in Korea? Even after one month had gone by I continued asking this question. I knew the reasons WHY I had come back, but I still wondered WHAT I was doing here. Of course, I was teaching and developing the skills harnessed with a TEFL certificate. However, my return to Korea goes deeper than that. Korea is an anomaly in my teaching career. It is the only place where I have ever been employed to teach children, and this is probably the last effort I will ever make with this target group. What I am doing back in Korea is teaching children. Therefore, it is high time that I look at my role as a mentor to these English learners. </p>\n<p>Former girlfriends have suggested that teaching children is my way of getting in touch with the fatherhood that I never had – never having the money or staying put anywhere long enough to raise my own offspring. Yes, that is right, I have yet to spawn my demon seed or sire an urchin to my likeness. I am the perpetual uncle. These same girlfriends have hinted that I fear commitment and domestication. But, what do they know? They are all blinded by my raw, wild, aggressive, unadulterated, animalistic, and creatively passionate masculine energy. It just makes sense to prevent my DNA from floating around. Whatever my motive, I fully realize that children can teach me plenty. This opportunity in Korea helps me to understand how language is acquired and how I can better contribute to that process as an English teacher. I wanted to listen and learn from these children. </p>\n<p>The problem with children is that they are sort of silly and spastic. They start fights over comic books, break into tears when their team loses a game, and throw tantrums whenever I take their dried squid away. They run into walls, hide under desks, and climb onto teachers like a private jungle gym. I have seen children stand on tables to announce that they aren’t an idiot, skid happily across the floor in pools of urine, and fling wet toilet paper across their face to declare that they are a ghost. Children seem to defy all logic. They covertly eat dry ramen noodles with blankets of hot chili powder during class and complain when I delay their water break. They distract themselves with extensive tug-o-war battles involving a classroom door. They break into lengthy sock fights in the middle of an English lesson. Children will interrupt a teacher every five minutes to ask what time it is, or line up in front of the door ten minutes before the end of class trying to escape early. Children pull at my arm hair with chocolate stained fingers in endless fascination. They gleefully exhibit anti-social behavior like farting towards a friend’s face and laughing about it afterwards. Even common sense physical responses – like whipping their nose before it runs into their mouth – seem impervious to them. Argghhh … what is it about children that makes them so immature?  </p>\n<p>In theory, as a teacher my job is to mold this wild, discombobulated, swarming, mass into upright citizens – the future leaders of our world. However, I kind of doubt it at times. Can you imagine George W. Bush swinging his diapers in the air while shouting that he is King of Pokeman? Can you visualize Tony Blair dancing like a chicken in cowboy boots to a song about ten little frogs? I think not. Nevertheless, children are blessed with an Darwinist mechanism that insures their future survival: on a lucky day, when all the stars are properly aligned, they can be very sweet, comical, and cute. This cute factor is so powerful that it can convince grown men to work boring jobs or double shifts, rather then spend their lives clubbing wooly mammoths and frolicking in bliss. Cuteness can tame even wild adventuresome men such as myself. It can transform us into serving children as protectors and providers. This cute factor can cause even grown men to intellectually discuss cartoons, give pony rides in public, and disfigure their voice with baby talk. I tell you, it is children that socialize and mold us rather than the other way around. </p>\n<p>Actually, I have a more serious theory about this. Most animals learn to survive almost immediately or they would die. Deer can walk within hours. Sea turtles can swim as soon as they hit water. Humans, on the other hand, take years to develop. Why do children take so long to mature? My theory is that humans survive precisely because their children are weak and in need of protection. The frailty of children brings families together and forces communities to form. Humans have survived this long because we unite for the sake of our vulnerable offspring. The fragility of our youth leads to human’s most valuable strengths: social bonding, protective forces, emotional conditioning, and even love. But, what do I know about these things? I haven’t even procreated yet. The only thing that I seem to reproduce is clothing with holes in them. </p>\n<p>Koreans, on the other hand, are well known for their love of children. It is easy to spot women everywhere with a baby cradled to her back or a number of toddlers holding her hand. Even total strangers lavish attention on children that stray by. Indeed, many Koreans view children as the prime reason of life. They see their future in their children. They even measure their own status by the achievements of their children. Therefore, parents are willing to spend huge chunks of their salaries to educate these whippersnappers. Since hagwon tuition is very expensive parents will pay close attention to teaching styles. The relationship between the adult teacher and the young pupil is watched by parents with great importance. However, young learners can be the most difficult audience. English teachers must coax, cajole, and convince children to go against their nature – to quit playing and open a book instead. This is no easy task. </p>\n<p>Being comfortable in a classroom full of children is not an innate trait. It takes time to become familiar with how the mind of a child operates. It takes practice to tame the swarm, and this frustrating process stings at times. It is for this reason that parents make the best elementary school teachers. They have already been altered by the swarm. They have developed immunity. However, most native English speaking parents are too busy raising their own youth. That can’t just pack up and move abroad for a scant salary or even risk being cheated by an unscrupulous hagwon. The notoriously bad reputation of Korean hagwons has been well earned, so many qualified teachers who have experience with children prefer to stay away. Koreans are, therefore, stuck with a dilemma. They must entrust their children to inexperienced, childless English teachers. </p>\n<p>The majority of English teacher in Korea are recent university graduates, who have suddenly finished discussing Bernoulli’s equation and Foucault’s post-modern theory to speak with kids about basic words such as “an apple”. They have abruptly switched from complicated thesis writing to sing-a-longs about ducks. These university graduates find themselves in roles more like a babysitter or an entertainer, rather than the teacher position that they were recruited for. A significant majority of English teachers have never lived abroad before either. The frustration that results can lead to many problems. Most of these English teachers quit or go home after only one year. With some teachers everything just clicks, and they find they thrive with children as students. These educators are a precious resource and a rare find in Korea (especially if they can adapt to living abroad for awhile). I have never had any problems adjusting to life in a foreign country, but it has been sometimes difficult to adapt to teaching children. This was the challenge for me in Korea. I needed to confront my weakness. I wanted to test myself and my new TEFL skills with my hardest target group to reach: children. As an added bonus, this teaching position would pay off the bad karma accumulated from my own misbehavior during elementary school days. </p>\n<p>****</p>\n<p>What am I doing back in Korea? This question crossed my mind again today. Teaching was going smoothly. My props were well developed and my lesson plan was impeccable. I held the attention of most children. They were participating in an English lesson and having fun. Then it happened. A twelve-year-old boy reached for my teaching aid and deliberately crunched it into a ball. Game over. Who knows why he did it. Maybe he was angry that he lost the game, confused by rules he could not understand, or just in need of extra attention. All of a sudden my lesson plan was ruined. I spend nearly three hours designing this material, and it could have been used with many classes over the years to come. I even spent my own money buying supplies. I watched with astonishment as the little brat unapologetically ripped my teaching aid to pieces. I could not just ignore this destruction or do nothing. Any lack of response would only encourage misbehavior in other students. This action called for discipline. </p>\n<p>Discipline is one topic that can’t be accurately taught in a TEFL or CELTA course. Teaching certificate programs do discuss useful tactics, but theories about behavior modification often fall apart at the live moment. Discipline tends to be spontaneous, and it varies according to the action being punished. Trainees need to witness a swarm of misbehaving children first hand to learn how to respond. Korean children love to test English teachers to see what they can get away with. Each teacher must find disciplinary methods of their own. So here I was back in Korea. I had all the training that a qualified teacher may need, but I was baffled over what to say. English teaching has nothing to do with English at all sometimes. It is also about establishing authority and classroom rules. The twelve-year-boy was waging a duel. I had to put an end to this behavior before other students began to copy him. </p>\n<p>Local teachers already know the perimeters allowed for discipline, since they were raised within this environment. They know the limits that parents will accept. Korea has changed many disciplinary practices since I first taught here in 1999, but some of the old ways persist. Many Korean teachers still employ stress positions as common punishment (although this is often denied). I know of other Korean teachers that flick problem children on their nose with a finger (although this is officially against hagwon policy). My students often claim that they are hit with long sticks at government schools (although this is technically illegal). In Korea there is official policy and there is also the actual practice. However, most local discipline comes in more tame varieties nowadays. Many schools give tickets or brownie points to students as positive reinforcement – which are cashed in to buy pencils, pens, and erasers. These points can also be subtracted for misbehavior. When a student goes bad, however, a simple phone call to a student’s parents is perhaps the most common disciplinary method of all. </p>\n<p>When a “foreigner” English teacher takes disciplinary action on a Korean student there tends to be a double standard. There is less parental tolerance for a native speaker that employs stress positions and other physical restraints. This is perhaps for the best since these tactics aren’t very effective in the first place. However, many English teachers are not given support by parents or school owners when they employ more moderate measures. Parents will admonish foreign teacher  for punishing their child or threaten to remove them, and hagwon business directors are reluctant to tip even unproductive students toward their competition. The overriding problem in the classroom is that children are well aware that foreign teachers lack the ability to punish them. Korean kids know that they can get away with more misbehavior when a native speaker is involved. At times they even goad us because they know foreigners are powerless to stop them. This misconduct is a major burn out for foreign teachers and a constant source of complaint on Internet forums.</p>\n<p>English teachers from the west seldom have the capacity to speak in Korean. Therefore, children usually call a teacher’s bluff about contacting parents. Korean children also love to tattle on foreign teachers, making any punitive measure a subject of parental scrutiny. Local tactics such as stress positions can get us deported. Other strategies can also lead to problems. Foreign teachers often make students do sit ups or push ups for misbehavior. They might slap students with a rolled up paperback textbook in frustration. They might attempt humiliation methods such as posing a student in front of class in a awkward position. However, most teachers prefer more docile techniques. Some teachers subtract brownie points or take tickets away, and most offer some type of reward to induce good behavior. But, all this activity – regardless of disciplinary style – ultimately adds up to less time actually practicing English in the classroom. </p>\n<p>The main difficulty in teaching Korean children is balancing play time with English practice. Class can go very smoothly if you just blow off English and allow children to play. It is amazing how little effort and preparation time a teacher can get away with. I know quite a few teacher who simply walk into class with zero planning. You can easily burn classroom time by wrestling with students or having them draw pictures. I know one teacher that read newspapers in class and another who handed out Korean comic books. As long as the children have fun then nobody complains. Parents are happy because their children are enjoying school and the directors are happy because they are profiting from tuition. The drawback is that students aren’t learning anything. How effective is student-centered learning when the students main desire is to not study? How useful is teacher-centered learning when the instructor is apathetic, frustrated, or burnt out? Classroom management is an art. It takes a sense of balance, almost like how a comedian focuses on the timing of jokes. A good teacher worries about balance. They add some playful activities to a lesson, but they never forget that they are strategically building up to the punch line – the English practice.</p>\n<p>The long term teachers in Korea figure out classroom management after a year or two. They learn how to balance the attention of children. They become comfortable with their standpoint as a classroom facilitator, and their directors have usually created a supportive environment. The large majority of native English speakers, however, never last that long. These disillusioned teachers are swallowed alive by hagwons that cheat them or the children that disrespect them. They simply quit trying to improve. Even highly qualified teachers end up quitting in frustration or returning home at the end of a contract. They hit websites with warning to prospective teachers, which creates lasting problems with national reputation and new recruiting. The cycle of supplying inexperience teachers, therefore, continues.</p>\n<p>What was I doing back in Korea? Despite my credentials, sometimes I am just taming the swarm. These kids study in government school all day and private schools all evening. They seldom have play time until they hit my classroom. They love the games and activities that I teach to them, but persuading these students to open their books is a major effort each day. I use positive reinforcement methods for the most part: reward tickets, bonus points, personal encouragement, compliments, remarks such as “good job” on the corner of their workbooks. If an entire class is good for a long time I will sometimes teach them a class outside. Sometimes I can have the desired effect just by promising them that we will play a favorite game AFTER work is finished. However, it is inevitable that each class will implode once in a while. Last week alone I witnessed spit wad fights, marker pen wars, graffiti writing on walls, refusals to open books, vandalism of chairs by riding them backwards, crying bouts over not being picked first, fights for my attention, licking furniture with tongues, bogger throwing, middle finger flipping, cussing in English, pulling my hair, and habitual cheating. In other words, it was a typical week at a Korean hagwon. </p>\n<p>When a bad student finally pushes me past the edge I use three punitive measures: 1) Make them stay after class. 2) Make them stand in the hallway during class. 3) Make them tell the director what they had done. When that 12-year-old boy tore up my teaching material I made him stand in the hallway. This is harsh punishment for Korean children because it ostracizes them. They are alone rather than in the group. The threat to remove them from others is usually enough, but in this case the kid went straight to the hallway. I didn’t have the patience to even deal with him. I also wanted to prevent my anger from exploding any further. The remaining students were shocked into studying English once again. I quickly drew on improvisation skills and old lesson plans to continue the class. For a moment, I had regained control of the stage. </p>\n<p>To my surprise, my director opened the door within minutes to demand that I continue teaching that child. Even after I explained the situation the child was allowed back in. No doubt the children were very amused to see the teacher reprimanded instead. She didn’t mean anything personal by it. She just didn’t want to have another student drop out of her hagwon to save the family from losing face. The misbehaving student was cheered like a hero when he reentered the classroom unpunished. It felt like a betrayal. The class has been my worse ever since. In Korea’s ESL heyday, starting in the mid-1990s, Korean teachers and administrators would have scooped that child from the hallway and forced him into stress positions. Parents would even present gifts such as fruit for disciplining their children. I remember my shock in 1999 when a mother presented me with a hand-made stick to beat her child – it even had her child’s name carved in it. However, times have changed since then. There is fierce competition among hagwons and school owner are reluctant to do anything that might result in the loss of a student. Parents will readily remove their children if they disagree with punitive action, and place them in another hagwon. I have had two parents already complain when I made their children stay after class. My options of discipline are rapidly dwindling. </p>\n<p>It may be impossible to quantify how discipline in Korea has changed in the last decade. But, my impression is that Korean children behave worse now than ever before. I remember how they sometimes bowed with respect to English teachers in the 1990s (something that made me very uncomfortable at that time). The novelty of having native speaking ESL teachers has worn off. Children have been raised in hagwons over the past decade (often spending even more time in schools than with parents). During this time, Koreans have seen so many varieties of English teachers – the qualified, the confused, and the outright cowboys – that they have lost their will to follow traditional decorum. Old educational standards no longer apply. In 2005, I see activities I would have never imagined before. School furniture is intentionally destroyed and walls are covered with the most vile graffiti. For the first time ever I have heard about major theft on school property. </p>\n<p>While I was in Thailand $90 and two MP3 players were stolen from the teacher’s staff room. The two culprits were revealed to be 12-year-old boys (both latchkey children who studied until late evening at our school). The MP3 players were eventually returned, but the cash went unaccounted for. The incident caused future problems when the issue of proper punishment was introduced. One problem was how the money would be replaced. Who should be responsible? Should the offender have to clean the school as repayment? Should the child’s parent return the stolen money? Is it the teacher’s fault for being foolish enough to leave that kind of money laying around? Should the director take the loss and offer extra money to the teacher?  Naturally, when I returned to Korea the staff room was heated with tension. </p>\n<p>The punitive outcome of this incident is not important. There are more valuable questions to ask: Who is responsible for the actions of a misbehaving child? Who is responsible for that child’s education? I am sorry for the cliché, but it takes a village to raise a child. It also takes the fragility of a child to bring a community together. I have done my part to make myself a better teacher. I earned my TEFL certificate after a lot of hard work. However, Korea’s educational problems cut much deeper than “unqualified” foreign teachers. Korea must also examine deeper cultural issues: absentee fathers, underfunded government schools, lack of access to private schools by poor children, test focused educational policy, lack of legal support for foreign teachers, increasing rates in crime and divorce, and the ability to open new hagwons without any background in education. The list goes on, but as a foreign teacher it isn’t mine to make. Koreans are the ones who are ultimately responsible for improving their society and educating their youth. Perhaps it is easier to blame foreign English teachers than to make real structural change. English teachers make great scapegoats. Let Koreans provide answers to their own problems. I have my own riddle to solve. </p>\n<p> What am I doing back in Korea? I am reshaping my teaching style and improving myself. This process of teaching children molds me personally and professionally. It makes me a stronger person. I have developed attachments to students regardless of my difficulty in disciplining them. My students, in turn, are becoming more familiar with me. Together we are building trust and establishing ownership of the classroom. We decorate the walls with their work. We cover dirty graffiti with something productive and useful. I argue about English, they question my authority, and we both struggle to learn. We are establishing a relationship. This is a mutual investment. I will leave these children in about seven more weeks. It is my last time to make an impact on them, and for them to return the favor to me.</p>','','2005-07-01 04:41:37',1,'2005-07-01 04:41:37','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(208,11,'Are you certified?','are-you-certified','Finding your way through the TEFL course maze','Teaching was no longer challenging. I was stagnating. Sure, I could always shake my life up with a weekend of debauchery, an occasional fling with a sexy female expatriate, or by traveling to a different city – and, truth be told, I often tried combining all three. But, at my core, I knew that I wasn’t growing productively. As a teacher I wasn’t developing. My methodologies had become stale. I needed a new bag of tricks. I needed rejuvenation. ','<p>Teaching became too routine. It’s as simple as that. I woke up, watched the sun rise, and shuffled notes around while drinking coffee – waiting for whatever inspirational idea to arrive before Korean adult students started knocking at my door. As a back up plan, on less creative mornings, I had stacks of old classroom material that I had developed over the years. I could easily pull out a random worksheet to incorporate into the day’s lesson. There were also a few stray grammar books that could be dug out at the last second. Later in the day, I walked a short distance to my hagwon. I allowed myself 15 minutes of prep time, which was mostly spent drinking coffee in the staff room and gabbing with Korean teachers, before children started pouring in energetically. In this case, I could simply open their textbook to the 1-2 pages assigned for that day. I had ten games that I played with them ad nauseam. There was always a steady flow of new students, so old material could be recycled endlessly. Parents loved me because their kids always had fun. My director was very pleased because I always reported to work sober and on time. Her business prospered because of my nice reputation. My salary increased, and I developed fantastic references. However, something was missing.</p>\n<p>The problem was that my teaching style had become too mechanical and predictable. I got by; but it felt like I was one of those toy monkeys – the type that you toss in a few coins so they will clap tiny cymbals together while grinning. I was just performing between paychecks. Teaching was no longer challenging. I was stagnating. Sure, I could always shake my life up with a weekend of debauchery, an occasional fling with a sexy female expatriate, or by traveling to a different city – and, truth be told, I often tried combining all three. But, at my core, I knew that I wasn’t growing productively. As a teacher I wasn’t developing. My methodologies had become stale. I needed a new bag of tricks. I needed rejuvenation. </p>\n<p>Then it happened: one day I was looking at naked women on the Internet while toggling around with www.ajarn.com (hey, sometimes that website downloads slowly, and you need something to look at in the meantime). Being distracted between the two, I accidentally clicked on an advertisement. You know, one of those flashing banners that always clutter Bangkok Phil’s homepage. I usually never read them because the blinding flash reminds me of a neon-lit shopping mall. But, this time it was different. This time I had already been stimulated. What downloaded before me was information about a teaching certificate program. I poured myself another glass of Scotch and started reading. </p>\n<p>Did I really need a teaching certificate? I already have a MA degree and five years worth of oversea teaching experience. My total teaching background extends tens years long. Finding employment abroad is as easy as spotting a dreadlocked farang on Khaosan Road. Whenever I post an on-line resume offers immediately start rolling in. I had all these opportunities, yet I still hadn’t got certified. What could a teaching certificate offer me that my qualifications didn’t already provide? I was curious, so in a sick and demented way I started clicking on links to trigger teacher-training advertisements. My employment contract in Korea was coming to an end anyway. I had nothing to lose by exploring the new rejuvenating options. </p>\n<p>The large variety of programs offering certification overwhelmed me. Unfamiliar initializations and acronyms unraveled at such a rapid rate that I became dizzy: ESL, EFL, RSA, CELTA, UCLES, ACTDEC, PELT, TESOL, TESL, TEFL. I thought I was reading a stock market report by mistake. To make matters worse, a few teacher training agencies played with their hyphens as if they had accidentally discovered a new erogenous zone: RSA-CELTA, TEFL-CELTA, TEFL-TESOL, TESOL-PELT, and so forth into infinity. Deeper prodding into the pungent folds of certification made my investigation even more confusing. There were hundreds – perhaps thousands – of franchises, sub-franchises, and licensed operators listed internationally. Even if I decided on a specific type of certificate, I would still need to narrow my choice down to a single country, then to further peel away at the layers of cities, and then to splay apart the competing agencies within that selected city. How could I possibly make the best pick?<br />\nTeacher forums on www.ajarn.com and www.eslcafe.com didn’t help matters much either, because everybody had a different opinion. Some posters claimed that CELTA was the Rolls Royce® of certificates, while other posters suggested that it was more like an unjustly expensive boot camp, and there was a bloke named Bruce who had an entirely different philosophy on the matter all together. I wanted clear facts rather than garbled street versions. Most troubling of all, there wasn’t even any consensus on what constituted a “valid” training program or a “qualified” teacher in the first place. Clearly, this decision would involve more research than two whiskies worth of time. So, I poured myself a third drink and started typing key words into search engines.<br />\nThe most amazing thing of all is how young and tender this ESL industry actually is. As I explored different websites I realized that few of these programs were older than the scotch in my hand. The oldest training program for English teachers (not directly connected to a religion, military, or government agency) was originally designed by John Haycraft in the late 1960s. After a decade long incubation period, the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA) took over administration in 1977. The RSA teacher training program was well timed for Japan’s economic boom and the upcoming globalization of English, which created a powerful demand for qualified teachers. The RSA program burgeoned in this untapped market. They were as happy as hungry mice in a corn field without predators. The esteemed private school, Cambridge, finally took over certification in 1988 and eventually redesigned the program in 1996 under its new name, CELTA. </p>\n<p>For some time, RSA/CELTA held a near monopoly over the formal training of English teachers. However, it would not take long before investors realized that English had become big business. Entrepreneurs spotted weaknesses in the RSA/CELTA program. For one, RSA/CELTA emphasized the teaching of adult students, but a huge chunk of the emerging market were younger pupils and children. The need for skilled English teachers was much greater than RSA/CELTA could keep up with alone. The demand for quality English instructors was greater than the supply. In result, a nasty strain of “cowboy” teachers easily multiplied in this vulnerable void like volleys of tiny crotch crabs (taking quick bloody bites before blazing to the next victim with a fresh paycheck). Before long entrepreneurs questioned the manner of RSA/CELTA training, and raised the valid issue of allowing a single entity to seal its near monopoly over the industry. </p>\n<p>The ESL industry exploded into thriving businesses in the 1990s. There was a heavy demand for English teachers in Korea, Taiwan, and other Asian countries. Fresh markets also emerged in former Eastern Bloc countries after the fall of communism. New certificate producing language programs turned to already established educational institutes, such as universities and education ministries, to receive proper accreditation – creating the TEFL and TESOL. By the end of the 1990s, Thailand already had two major TEFL issuing organizations. Text-and-Talk began as a language school in 1991 and later received its accreditation from Thailand’s Ministry of Education. In 1998, TEFL International was established as a Trinity TESOL certificate course (but, its accreditation is no longer through Trinity today). The origins of the first TEFL certificate, in itself, is difficult to track down since there isn’t a single entity that moderates over all certificate distribution. There are so many branches in the TEFL family tree that you might never return if you set out to count them. Like mushrooms, new corporate names in the ESL industry continued to sprout out of nowhere to issue TEFL/TESOL certificate, to hire graduates, or to provide both: Bridge-Linguatec, Intensity-Callan, Global, English First.</p>\n<p>The ESL industry has subdivided and morphed into many different shapes since the 1990s. The rapidly mutating ESL industry reminds me of that old horror flick, The Blob, in which a giant discombobulated mass squeezes through the projectionist’s room in a movie theater, and like a glistening plate of gooey Playdough®, the shapeless being from outer space eats the screaming viewers alive. Alright, I admit, perhaps that was a bit of an exaggeration, but my point is that this ESL business has gotten so big and powerful in a short period of time that a simple choice is overwhelming.<br />\nAll I wanted to do was get certified. All I needed was to improve my teaching skills, learn creative ideas, and get new feedback from experienced colleagues. I craved only to lubricate my mundane teaching life, so that I could thrust forward into new directions. Now, I had accidentally entered Pandora’s other box, and she evidently wasn’t happy about it. My simple routine life was complicated once again. I had confusing choices and disordered plans. Somehow I thrived in the chaos that followed. I had new goals and a sense of direction. Maybe I should of just toggled back to reading porn.</p>\n<p>****<br />\nMy decision to finally get certified came down to one thing: teacher development. I really couldn’t give a rat’s ass about grades, degrees, or gold stars in the corner of my papers. I wasn’t just smearing frosty pink icing on my resume. Certification was part of an ongoing process. It wouldn’t end with graduation. I have reached the age where I must admit that I have fallen into teaching as my profession. I never planned on it. Teaching was something I did for income while hunting for a real job. Teaching just sort of happened. I got a MA degree in an unmarketable field and, after learning that dumpster diving wasn’t my cup of tea, I was forced into reassessing my options. I could either be a low-paid social worker in urban America or I could travel to exotic countries by teaching English. It was an easy choice. As a instructor I adopted the “learn as you go” method and for a short period of time it worked. Over the years, however, I became more aware of my limitations as a teacher. But, luckily, I had also learned that I was doing a few things right. </p>\n<p>My strengths are that I am a very student-centered, flexible, creative, and approachable teacher. I can adapt to any student regardless of age, ethnic background, or level of English. Give me a dirt floor and a plastic ball and I could invent a lesson on the spur of the moment. However, this is not enough. My teaching skills were limited because I never deeply studied phonics, lesson planning, or grammar. I did not understand how the mechanics of English worked, therefore how could I explain grammatical rules to students? I could drive the car, but not maintain its engine. Sure, I knew how to use reference books to introduce material into the classroom, but I could have done it much better.<br />\nWhen I finished my contract in Korea I flew to Thailand to take a closer look at 3-4 certification programs. Internet advertisements were so overwhelmingly numerous that I couldn’t pick one. I was reluctant to shell out $1,000 to an agency that I had only seen on-line. I wanted to see a program in action before I started signing expensive business contracts. I cautiously created the following five criteria:</p>\n<p>1) Location: The place must be enticing enough to live there for 4-8 weeks.<br />\n2) Price: The program must be fairly priced, in an affordable place to study.<br />\n3) Accreditation: The school must have formal rights to issue valid certificates.<br />\n4) Trainer Credentials: The teacher must have an advanced degree and extensive experience with the ESL industry – including actual classroom time with students from the chosen target group.<br />\n5) Content: The class material must develop my weakest points as a teacher, and allow observed teaching practice sessions while I test it out. This ESL material must include phonics, grammar, lesson planning, and new methodology. </p>\n<p>I went shopping for the Rolls Royce® first – the CELTA. However, I was discouraged rather quickly from enrolling. The program seemed too rigid, and I wasn’t entirely convinced that they offered any cutting edge methodology that justified my paying an extra $250. CELTA admission required submitting in advance a variety of writing samples, lesson plans, and grammar tests (depending on franchise). I didn’t have the time or patience for this pre-testing. CELTA training programs are haunted with stories about imposed quotas to fail students or sadistic trainers publicly berating trainees to the point of nervous breakdown. I wasn’t sure I wanted to chance it. The CELTA trainers in Thailand seemed skilled and attentive, and I have no doubt that they provide a decent education. At the same time, I realized that in the practical world of English teaching I would need to teach children every now and then. CELTA placed its emphasis only on adult education. CELTA didn’t offer training that would apply to a diversity of student age groups and educational levels. Therefore, I was reluctant to invest my money in their course. I continued looking. </p>\n<p>I explored the PELT certificate next. This program combines one week worth of intensive classroom training with a 4-8 week internship. The idea is to train teachers by allowing them maximum face time with students. The agency even offered to hook me up with a rural school for economically disadvantaged children – an opportunity that deeply appealed to my sense of philanthropy. I liked the idea of the PELT in theory. The paid internship catered to my tight budget and the extensive student contact could be vastly rewarding. However, I had to ask myself the overriding question: will this program develop my desired teaching skills? The answer was, no. What I needed to improve was my ability to explain grammar clearly, to illustrate phonics, and to experiment with lesson planning. The skeleton of the PELT course was comprised of only one thin week of lecture (enhanced by the weakest vitamin supplements of DVD and CD-Rom). Although the internship might be great for somebody with no teaching background, for me, personally, it offered little nourishment. The certificate I craved needed to present new material to me with live demonstrations, allow me to practice these new techniques in front of more experienced staff, and then to produce it actively in a class full of foreign language students. My lengthy search continued. </p>\n<p>I decided to scope out TEFL certificates. The main problem was that TEFL agencies saturated Thailand like seasonal flooding during the monsoon. A quick glimpse of the Ajarn homepage revealed two main umbrella organizations: TEFL International and TEFL Text-and-Talk. Internationally, there were so many TEFL certificate-producing agencies, franchises, and licensed operators that I didn’t know where to begin. The origins of the TEFL certificate can be elusive. You have to peel away at layers of interconnected agencies to find the original source of accreditation, and at times this process feels like your spinning around an endless vortex without a solid foundation to grab onto for balance. Would a TEFL certificate one day become an over-franchised, mass-produced, generic product like a standard hamburger at a typical fast food chain? TEFL programs are so numerous that I wondered if the certificate might be endangered of becoming watered down and meaningless. Still, I had to explore this opportunity. I was running out of time and had to make a decision quick. </p>\n<p>I started with the Text-and-Talk office in Bangkok. They had a variety of branches throughout Thailand. I figured I’d see what they offered at their main branch, then narrow down my search from there. I immediately felt attracted to the casual and friendly manner that greeted me. They offered a comprehensive TEFL certificate program – internationally recognized – that included components such as phonics, grammar, lesson planning, methodology, and six observed teaching practices (allowing me to develop on my weaker points). As a bonus they offered a free course on the Thai language. I was attracted to this program because it trained teachers to work with both adults and children who are learning English as a foreign language. More importantly, this TEFL program was much more affordable than most others that I had researched. Before I left the main office I had decided to go with Text-and-Talk. </p>\n<p>I was reluctant to enroll at the Bangkok main branch, however, because of its location by a highway underpass near the airport. The TEFL course took six-weeks, and I lacked the patience to endure congested traffic and air pollution for this long. Having recently survived a cold Korean winter, in a crowded city, I needed a change of pace. I wanted to, at least, take this course at a desirable location – such as a hot tropical beach loaded with palm trees. I imagined strolling on a sandy beach at sunset after a busy day of study, or snorkeling while waves crashed ashore,. My requisite as to location presented no problem. Text-and-Talk had franchises in Hua Hin, Phuket, and a branch in Pattaya. They also had a licensed school in Ko Samui under the title of TEFLworld (the only TEFL program on Ko Samui with valid accreditations). </p>\n<p>I narrowed my choice down to these four locations, but I still needed to pick one. My final decision would be the qualification of the person actually in charge of training. While working at a teacher training college in Hungary, I learned that a degree in this field doesn’t always mean that somebody can teach it well. It is not unusual for a trainer to be a recent graduate or a novice to the actual classroom. Some teachers just lack the social skills to actively involve students in the learning process. I respect professionalism, but a stuffy grammarian can be quite boring to experience over a six week period. I can still recall a 10th grade English teacher that habitually forbid his students to speak in class, while routinely graphing sentence trees on a chalkboard without ever providing context. His methods were mechanical and very teacher-centered. He recycled the same lessons every year. Maybe he wondered why he never connected with students one day, and found new ways to develop as a teacher. I will never know, but I was certain that I didn’t want to pay for a repeat performance. I wanted to make the right choice in advance.<br />\nIn an amazing streak of luck the trainer in Ko Samui – Phil Jenkins – was somebody that I had worked with before. Phil was a teacher I could learn from. We both taught at the Rajabhat (university) in Ayutthaya. Phil first moved to Thailand over 15 years ago to participate in the first wave of English teachers. He learned to speak and write Thai fluently, married a local woman, and raised two very cute and talkative little girls. I knew he was well qualified: Phil has a MA degree in Applied Linguistics, he has worked for the Ministry of Education in Thailand, and he has been involved with teacher training for eight years. Phil was the faculty member at Rajabhat Ayutthaya who other teachers went to with questions. He taught all the grammar and phonic classes. Phil knew sound and syntax like my tongue knew my alveolar ridge and the back of my teeth. </p>\n<p>I lost track of Phil when I left Thailand three years ago. In fact, I lost touch with nearly all of my former colleagues. It was my former students that continued to correspond with me. They told me rumors that Phil found a nice job on Phuket. One of my last memories of him was our visit to a rural jungle food restaurant where we ate cobra, crocodile, and other mysterious forms of meat (I’ll e-mail this story to anyone interested). I still remember how courageously Phil lifted a glass of dark-green cobra blood to his lips. It was mixed with Mekong whiskey and the snake’s gall bladder, which floated against the rim like a bobbing balloon. He gulped the vile concoction down as fearlessly as any Thai man. I followed suit, chugging the cobra blood in one swallow after popping its gall bladder with a toothpick. The horrid taste gave me a real curious buzz that I won’t soon forget. You remember sharing an activity like that with someone. You have to trust those whom you share cobra with. This man could teach me about students in Thailand. He had the solid academic background, he was well-connected locally, and he wasn’t a stuffy executive in a three piece suit. The deal was cinched. I made my decision to take the TEFLworld course on Ko Samui (See: www.teflteachsamui.com and www.teflworld.org).<br />\n****<br />\nIn Ko Samui I had the powerful feeling that I was a part of something that was growing. TEFLworld’s training took place at the recently opened Panyadee elementary school, which follows the British National Curriculum and is officially accredited by the Ministry of Education (allowing it to formally issue internationally recognized certificates with registered numbering). Panyadee is a bilingual school that provides education to children from Thailand, France, Demark, Belgium, and Germany. Its campus is located in a mountainous coconut grove near Chaewang Noi beach. Each day something new was added to the quiet landscape – the planting of grass, the construction of a patio, the creation of a shady awning, and the installment of more air conditioning. There are long-term plans to build a swimming pool, a secondary school, and housing for teachers and trainees. The school is growing one step at a time. </p>\n<p>When I first arrived at Panyadee, where Phil also serves as the headmaster, a group of children were planting seeds in a garden. The teacher was delivering an active, hands-on, TPR session on the stages of plant growth. The children formed a circle as he explained germination to them – then the kids helped with watering. The lecture was appropriate since the school itself was in that stage. Likewise, this TEFL certificate program was just beginning. It was recently founded by Phil Jenkins and Stuart Baker (of the locally renowned Minerva language agency). The teaching staff all graduated from Phil’s previous TEFL courses (with other agencies). He selected the cream of the crop to get the school started. Faculty continued developing into stronger teachers, while the children polished English skills. I knew I made the right choice for me. I felt the opportunity for personal growth, so I jumped right in.</p>\n<p>The program itself is hard work. There is a great deal of preparation involved. We started off light by reading some of the modules required by the course. We discussed the characteristics of our favorite teachers and delivered presentations to get acquainted with the use of the whiteboard. Then the hard-core English material kicked in: phonemes, diphthongs, syllable stress, word classes, sentence trees, sentence moods, lexical sets, fricative soundings, places of articulation, Total Physical Response pedagogy, and the use of pitch and epenthesis in Thai pronunciation. Language acquisition is a incredibly complicated process. I felt like I was dissecting a butterfly in science class. We peeled away layers of English to peek at what functioned underneath. We broke out the microscopes and watched verb tenses wriggle and squirm beneath our lens. And then we put this new understanding to use with lesson planning.</p>\n<p>The next stage was to travel near the Ko Samui Airport for our first teaching practices. This field trip was the first entry into the world of live classroom English for some trainees. It was how they lost their teaching virginity. Fifty Bangkok Air employees studied at this language seminar, whom we broke into two smaller groups. The employees needed to develop practical English skills to communicate with tourists. This teaching style involved the audio-linguistic approach combined with communicative language teaching techniques. We practiced a specific pattern of dialogues, drills, and interactive exercises. Students worked in groups and pairs. We wanted them to get comfortable with basic airport-oriented conversations.<br />\nThe seminar was a nice piece of networking, really. The main facilitator, Scott Michael Smith, had taught with both Phil and me in Ayutthaya. Scott was developing as a teacher by getting a MA in tourism at Assumption University. To my surprise, Scott still taught at the same Rajabhat and was now living in my former home beside the Chao Phraya River. I lost touch with him like I did with Phil, but accidentally stumbled onto Scott while exploring river canals in a long-tail boat. I had just returned from Indonesia during Songkhran. Scott happened to have a nice supply of wine, so he invited me to visit him for a gourmet dinner. I explained my plans to earn a TEFL certificate under Phil’s training. As luck had it, Scott was already scheduled to facilitate a seminar for Bangkok Air in Ko Samui at the same time. We seized the opportunity to work together once again. Scott’s most positive trait as a teacher is his sense of motivation, and he brought this creative energy to our TEFL course. </p>\n<p>Our networking led to a four-way winning strategy: Bangkok Air had better trained workers, employees developed marketable job skills, teacher-trainees delivered their first lesson plans, and Phil found a possible resource for future TEFL courses. Bangkok Air was very pleased with the outcome of the seminar. They invited us to produce training manuals and design textbooks for future English seminars. Bangkok Air – with Scott’s coaxing – rewarded us with an exquisite gourmet dinner of tiger prawns, snow fish, and tender steak in a curry sauce (drinks included). While digesting this beach-side meal I realized why I really love Thailand. In Thailand, I have a sense of opportunity and raw potential. I can find new projects to work on, get published, or expand my range of teaching. It is amazing that I could simply drop back into Thailand, stumble into former colleagues, and get immediately turned onto new opportunities.</p>\n<p>In contrast, this spirit is lacking in Korea. There isn’t much room for promotion at a hagwon job. The long-term rewards in Korea seem to be limited to higher salaries or university jobs. Korea’s expatriate community isn’t as tightly networked because most teachers depart after only one year. It is difficult to discover new outlets for your creative energy. In Thailand expatriates help each other out. Teachers network to produce seminars, hand over private lessons, or find each other better jobs. In Thailand I always have that sense of possibility. </p>\n<p>The next stage of teaching practices took place directly at Panyadee school. These children have advanced speaking skills, but need more practice with writing and spelling. Future TEFLworld courses will also include a government school for impoverished children, who have had little access to native speakers. Phil helped trainees develop child-appropriate lesson plans. Teaching children is a style in its own. Children have short attention spans and an unlimited supply of energy. You have to keep them active with a lot of communicative activity. There needs to be a great deal of visual stimulus and physical response. If a lesson isn’t planned right the class may implode, and a room full of bored sugar-ingesting children is never a pretty sight. I already had a solid background with teaching children, so I was very comfortable with them. However, it was an eye-opener for new trainees. They got swarmed. Children fought over props, grassed out their mates, and fought for the teacher’s attention. But, by the next lesson, the rookies could adjust their teaching style for children. They were figuring out the teaching process. </p>\n<p>The most valuable tool for training, perhaps, is the use of teaching practices. Trainees delivered lessons to both adults and children while a certified professional observed them and provided feedback afterwards. TEFLworld provided us with six practice sessions each. However, there were many opportunities to do extra lessons if one was inclined. I delivered a total of ten observed teaching practices. It was the feedback from these sessions that set me in the direction of self-improvement. I learned how to redirect my energy and was able to experiment with new methods. The TEFL course was also a great way for future teachers to learn if they prefer adults or children as students. The rookies got exposure to English and established an initial foundation to build upon. I was able to take it one step further with more advanced material. Everybody was able to improve on their skills, and tap into their individual teaching style, no matter what level they came into at the start of the course.<br />\nThe six week TEFLworld program moves very quickly. Before you know it the class is over. In the sixth week we took the final exams and finished. Official certificates were handed out and our prideful celebration began. We fired up a barbeque at school on our last day (no, cobra and crocodile were not on the menu). We drank Thai beer and reminisced (students were on holiday). Our different levels of teaching experience turned into a bonus. I became a mentor, which is also a type of teacher, and the rookies reminded me of my early classroom experiences. I even learned from watching them at times. There was a type of bond that formed along the way. We had shared the lengthy process of getting certified together. Phil pointed them in the direction of their first teaching job, and one was even offered work at Rajabhat Ayutthaya. A new teaching network had formed. Who knows what will become of it? The smoke rose from the grill and beer flowed freely. I couldn’t help but get a sappy sense of accomplishment. We did it. We graduated. We got certified.</p>\n<p>As beer multiplied my head resonated with inner singing. I held a spanking new TEFL certificate in my hand. It had official accreditations from the Ministry of Education, and a registered number for future verification. The TEFL certificate would be listed on my resume directly above my MA degree. After all these years I had finally done it. However, I reminded myself of my original questions: Did I really need this teaching certificate? Did it add any value that my previous qualification didn’t already offer? A smile lifted to both corners of my face. I had learned many surprising things about my teaching style. Even subtle details could be helpful later. For example, Phil pointed out that I favor the right side of the room. Another observer noted how I cluttered the whiteboard with too much information. I also received great feedback about lesson planning. The days of scrawling a brief outline on a notepad were over. I had specific strategies to produce in class. I could custom-design lessons for specific language levels. More importantly, I got my spark back. I tapped into new resources of energy. I had become rejuvenated.<br />\nThe overriding issue, however, was none of the above outcomes. The most important litmus test, the one that would finally prove the value of this TEFL course, were the following questions: Did my weakest skills improve significantly? Did I develop as a teacher? The answer to both questions is unequivocally, YES. Not only did I learn more about phonics, but I also created fantastic lesson plans based on sounds – and I tested this new material in an actual class. I developed a curiosity for grammar and understood why Asian languages have such problems with it. I experimented with new methodologies and learned dozens of new classroom activities. I had a new bag of tricks. I had a tremendous sense of accomplishment. One small thing was still missing, however. But, it was something that I could easily fix.</p>\n<p>I cracked open a new flask of scotch and raced toward the closed school. There was one act that would confirm the fruits of academic labor. In seconds, I stood in the middle of the children’s garden. Their seeds had sprouted. Some of the plants had already grown to the point of harvesting vegetables. I roamed the garden until I found a shady patch of green beans. They climbed up tiny strings to create water falls of green. Like a strand of syntax the garden started from a basic foundation, and spread into more complicated forms. I harvested English words and phonemes, much like the produce of this garden. Both were tended to with great care and understanding. Both could be shared. I had a taste for English. I picked a few beans and promptly ate them. They tasted like opportunity. </p>\n<p>So, are you Certified?<br />\nWell, baby, you know I am!</p>','','2005-06-01 04:48:11',1,'2005-06-01 04:48:11','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(209,11,'Thirty minutes of a thirty day visa','thirty-minutes-of-a-thirty-day-visa','Travels in Indonesia','This time I\'m travelling through through Indonesia’s Bali and the Nusra Tenggara Islands, but location is not the point – this experiment is all about the writing process, and an author’s ability to chose the decisive moment to snapshot.

','<p>This experiment in travel writing is in homage to the lasting impact of even the shortest and most subtle moments. My goal is to consciously choose a moment, in each day, that is worthy of memorization. Each daily section consists of a single brief moment, lasting no longer than 15 minutes. The rules are: 1) no more than two edits, 2) retrospective thought should be avoided, and 3) after a single moment is selected, you can not change your choice – no matter how interesting an event is that comes up later. I do not provide historic background, hotel information, travel advice, or even logical transitions (and also note the avoidance of future and past tenses). The purpose is to honor the power of a small instant.<br />\nThis experiment in travel writing advocates a “quilted haiku” style - based on prose rather than poetry. My theory is that each moment, each daily section, is like a patch in a quilt. At first, each patch might seem detached and floating without any context or background, like a common haiku, but as the story progresses, patterns will emerge as new details and moments are added. As the story unfolds readers can piece together the quilt of moments to get a full view of the nature of travel. This time it is through Indonesia’s Bali and the Nusra Tenggara Islands, but location is not the point – this experiment is all about the writing process, and an author’s ability to chose the decisive moment to snapshot. It should still reflect the mystery, hardships, and exotica that accompanies travel. Soulhouse69@yahoo.com</p>\n<p>3/16 (Kuta, Bali)<br />\nThe street-tough Buddhist gangster is blocking sunlight as he stands menacingly in front of me. I peel the dry rough skin off a snake fruit while ignoring him. “You need woman. You need hash,” he demands, rather than questions. I negotiate, “What I need is to see the exact spot of the Bali bombings. I can give you 5,000 rupees to take me there”. He smiles at my novice bartering skills and money exchanges hands. He leads me down the street to where his friend is sleeping on some form of a reconstituted motorcycle. The gangster delivers a swift kick to his friend to awake him. Moments later we are blazing down a side alley on this forcefully borrowed motorcycle. The gangsters heavily tattooed arms glisten with sweat as he reiterates his mantra, “One woman for ten dollars, hash for twelve, smoke opium for extra”. Then we arrive. He points to the site, laughs, and shouts, “BOOM!”.<br />\nA large memorial at the site marks the deaths of nearly 200 people in the popular tourist ghetto. The enormous wall includes a plaque to acknowledge the terrorist acts on October 12th, 2002. I read the very globalized list of casualties: 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians, 23 English, 7 Americans, 6 German, 4 French, 2 Koreans, 2 Japanese, 2 South African, 1 Polish, and so forth. By what twisted act of fate does such a diverse group of people meet together to experience such a horrid and fragile event? One moment there might be celebration and unity; the next moment everything falls apart. Soon afterward people move on, get back in life’s natural rhythm and routines, then all is forgotten. Traffic buzzes by this memorial as if it has no more significance than a mountain tree or a shell by a sea.<br />\n“You want massage? You want bang-bang? You want me suck?”, 3-4 prostitutes shout at me from the sidewalk just outside the memorial site. Street children rush up to me and interrupt my viewing. They have dry mouths, ragged clothes, and shoeless feet. Dirt smears across their chapped skin. The children stick their hands out, palms upward, in praise of coin. They grab my notebook so I can’t write. I reach for my camera instead. The children intentionally stand in front of my camera, so I can’t take a picture of the memorial. I must pay them for that right. Averting my eyes, I make the mistake of having eye contact with one of the prostitutes. Now, she aggressively launches forward insisting, “You need massage. You need me go hotel room.” I am tugged on either arm by the prostitute and street child. Fuck it! I am out of here.</p>\n<p>3/17 (Pendang Bai, Bali)<br />\nIbu’s face is pressed into a plethora of wrinkles as if it is made out of fabric rather than skin. Her wrinkles spread like a tiny river tributary system. The thin gentle woman has earned these wrinkles by operating the village elementary school for over a decade. I can relate. I am growing gray hairs after only two years of teaching children in Korea. Ibu smiles at me kindly. She does not have enough change to return to me for my drink at her restaurant. The tab came to 15,000 rupees, less than $2, and I could only offer her a 50,000 bill. Leaving a seven year old guidebook as collateral, I race down three flights of stairs, all painted various shades of red, and sprint across a common square – past a Chinese graveyard, a cow, and two goats – to find a store that could make change. A series of highly decorative bamboo poles line the street. The ceremonial poles contain a tiny house-like structure where offerings of rice, flowers, and syrupy sodas are left as offerings. Objects such as coconuts, money, silk cloth, and even bags of potato chips are attached to the structure. They remind me of fishing poles because a chain of rolled leaves droop back down to the street.<br />\nReturning, I hurl myself past the Chinese graveyard – beyond the cow, two goats, and a new addition of chickens – back up three flight of red stairs to Ibu’s restaurant. I stand before Ibu with my chest heaving in lack of breath. She and her staff are busy with ceremonial offerings. Ibu is lighting candles, burning incense, and placing rice into banana leaf trays. Her staff add flower garlands and gently put the combination in highly selective areas, such as right in the center of the doorway where unobserving tourists could accidentally step on them. While I wait for them, Ibu hands me a few guestbooks to sign. Tourists have been making entries in them for over six years. By instinct, I choose to write the following statement on a blank white page although it dates back to 1999: How powerful a human life could be if we could go back in time and fill in blank spaces. I would fill this emptiness with the scent of this sunset wind, the sight of sunlight leaping from wave to wave, and the image of Ibu’s face. </p>\n<p>3/18 (Cakranegara, Lombok)<br />\nI am dropped off a busy street late at night. A simple horse-drawn cart gallops quietly by. The only sound I hear are the tiny clopping of hoofs on pavement; and then, after the traffic light changes, a river of motorcycles, taxis, overstuffed lorries, and private vehicles launch into night. The smell of diesel and manure waft thickly in the air. There are no open hotels in sight. I realize that I have no clue where I am. The primal instinct kicks in that this is not where I want to be. I change my mind. Immediately, I am swatted by a chain of hawkers and taxi drivers. I shout out a single word – the random name of a nearby city – and a half dozen of them argue among themselves while negotiating fare with me. A large round man and two of his friends usher me across the road and an entourage of competitors follow suit. They split traffic in two as vehicles slice into pockets around us. A kind-faced old man offers me a motorcycle ride at the best rate yet. His non-aggressive sales pitch enables me to trust him. He loads me on his rusty two-wheeler, my daypack swaying to and fro, as his vehicle putts its way back into the metal river of traffic. Sweat valiantly struggles to escape from entrapment within my shirt. Wind pounds at the corner of my eyes. I look upward to avoid this discomfort. Hmmm … I have not bothered to notice yet, but the sky is heavy with stars. They drop into my sight like ancient fruit.</p>\n<p>3/19 (Sengigi, Lombok)<br />\nThe shop tender motions toward my daypack. She mutters to me in a language that I am oblivious to. Already worn down from a series of hawkers, I rudely ignore her. She persists following me and pointing. What is she trying to sell me? In the United States shoppers are often required to check-in back packs before entering a store, but this is a village market and I am reluctant to remove mine. I promptly buy cashew nuts and hurry away. Outside the market a motorcycle driver jumps in with the same tactic. He points at my pack and starts shouting. However, this time the culprit can speak English. “Your pack is open,” he warns, “you better zip it up before you lose something”. I thank him and apologize for my foolish mistake.<br />\nAs I fix my pack I feel two drops of water strike my cheek. I look up to learn the source. A huge torrent of late-monsoon rain bursts through its cloudy gates. The rain soaks me in seconds. I leap across the street to the nearest restaurant. It has a canopy of thatched palm leaves and bamboo that offers surprisingly good protection from the downpour. The locals could smell the rain coming in advance and find cover early. A one-inch lake forms in the center of the muddy road. I could hear Indonesians laughing and singing. A Muslim caliph recites a prayer over a distorted intercom down the street. I can’t go anywhere for a while. Maybe it is a good time to eat.</p>\n<p>3/20 (Bima, Sumbawa)<br />\nOn my right, two women pull at my shoulder trying to provoke me into buying something in plastic containers to eat. I am the only westerner on this bus, so I must stand out like a walking ATM machine. To my left, are three devout Muslim men who are sharing the same seat in the very back of the bus. They quickly ask if I am an American then proceed to ignore me. Seven other men are perched near us, sitting and sleeping in the aisle between our feet and the community bathroom. The squat toilet, pretty much a hole in the floor, looks like it has been missed a couple times due to the bumpy ride. From time to time the bathroom door swings open as the bus swerves. Trickles of dark liquid seep into the aisles. A family of large slow-moving cockroaches play on the bathroom door. They have so little fear of humans that they forget to scurry away. Baskets of rambutans and snake fruit hang in the space above my head. A trail of ants feed off the juices of exploding overripe fruit.<br />\nThis is a 17 hour bus ride that we are sharing. I survive by sending myself in a meditative trance-like state. A man in front of me tries to sell me fake pearls that he claims his cousin authentically gathers direct from the sea. A new recruit pesters me into buying water during this brief flash at a rest stop. I don’t want any food because I prefer not to encourage the unfortunate possibility of hovering above the hole in the bathroom floor, while the bus rocks along an unpaved, twisty, mountain road. I don’t want water because the urge to pee would only keep me awake. I don’t want the pearls because I hate wearing jewelry – especially of the more feminine varieties. What I want is to close my eyes and awake at our destination.<br />\nThis moment is a crossroad. I could follow my instinct and walk off the bus. I could find the nearest hotel and start anew in the morning. I could simply leave and start a new path. A tourist always has many options. I decide to endure. There is only three more hours to go. It couldn’t get any worse. I bury my head in the nook of my arm trying to force sleep. A woman continues to tug at my shoulder despite multiple refusals. My strategy is to play dead until she goes away. From the corner of my eye, I spy a plump brown cockroach on the window sill. To my horror it sluggishly creeps up the sleeve of my shirt. I feel it plowing its way toward my armpit. </p>\n<p>3/21 (Waikabubak, Sumba)<br />\nStuck in a beemo-style minivan, sweltering heat baking down on my black vinyl seat, I guzzle a bottle of cold water like a baby with a pacifier. There is only a 15 minute shelf life until this cold water turns lukewarm. I need to take advantage of these brief window periods of favorable temperature. I am stuck on this minivan until the driver decides that it has sufficient enough passengers to take off. He has my money already, so I must wait it out. I consider exploring the marketplace or walking around the neighborhood, but I worry that my ride will depart as soon as I wander off. All the seats are already full. The driver just wants to fill the aisles first, and maybe even find passengers who are willing to sit on the roof. Sweat trickles in tiny streams down my back. My armpits are sopping wet. The stubble on my face has entered the itching stages. I haven’t washed in several days. The time on this toasting bus only contributes to my process of unsociable fermentation.<br />\nSuddenly, the mini-van fires into action. I can almost hear pistons bobbing. Air conditioning kicks in – thanks to whatever deity this island worships – and the vehicle departs. It races through nearby villages where people watch us from bamboo huts. It drives past horse-riding warriors who are practicing for battle at the Pasola festival ceremonial grounds, throwing bamboo spears at human targets. It moves by giant ancestral tombs where slabs of stone rise into air like a miniature Stonehenge. These are the things that I want to see. This is what makes travel worthwhile. The mini-van continued onward, making brief stops to pick up new passengers and to lift chicken-filled cages onto the roof. Then in one quick moment of pure calculated evil our vehicle slams to a halt. We park in the exact same spot at the marketplace as before. The driver turns off the air conditioner and we continue to wait.</p>\n<p>3/22 (Sawu Sea)<br />\nThe three hour late night ferry boat has come all the way from Timor. It is the only boat that ships out each week. The cabin beds consist of one long strand of white linoleum stretched across the platform floor. Twenty people sleep in each row, and there are dozens of identical rows. My bed is a four foot slot on the linoleum strip, squared off by the #55, which a porter has written on it with a black marker pen. A string of seven cockroaches – of the fast moving type – scurry across my designated sleeping quarters. The vile insects are not at all shy of people and easily crawl over sleeping bodies while hunting food. I spot a cockroach underneath the neck of a man in the slot next to mine. I attempt to force myself into lying down. I make it to my knees before deciding that I can’t do it. I am not that humble to sleep here. Sure, a sleazy guesthouse and fluid-stained mattress are quite familiar to me, but this is the line I could not cross. My dignity has limitations.<br />\nOn deck I am guaranteed a night of constant hustling. I am the only white-faced westerner on the boat. I couldn’t exactly blend in. Already passengers have been following me: plying me with hardship stories and pleas for cash, inquiring about the contents of my backpack and begging to peek inside, offering sexual propositions with the promise of a shared bed. Gangs of youth patrol the deck as I look for a place to hide my gear. In the daytime, there would be no problem. I could simply read a book or listen to music. However, night comes with the promise of theft. I am tired from my long journey and I still haven’t bathed in over three days. One night of cold air and peaceful sleep is all I need. However, even on deck the humidity and human disturbance every few minutes pesters me awake.<br />\nOn the linoleum floor, I finally coax myself into sitting, but I couldn’t bring myself to lay down. I could imagine cockroaches inside my shirt, crawling up my pant legs, or racing across my face while sleeping. It is a question of mind over matter, or maybe a spiritual test to overcome my ego. I just couldn’t do it. Instead, I walked back to the third-floor deck frantically searching for a hiding place. Next to a few emergency survival rafts, in an area clearly off-limits, I could see an alternative. I find a small storage space where an individual could sit without notice. I shift my body parts into yoga-like positions until I feel comfortable. As a crowning touch, a dark-color sarong could be attached to the survival rafts forming a tiny inconspicuous roof. Nestling inside my cubby-hole I could play a CD while watching the waxing moon. Sleep was waiting nearby. </p>\n<p>3/23 (Moni, Flores)<br />\nTropical rain cuts through the clouds and baptizes the village. I leave my homestay – a dingy room without a fan or toilet seat, but still a bargain because of its mosquito net in the malarial zone. I am curious if rain leaks through the thatched roofs of traditional homes. It doesn’t, in this case. But, while watching the rain, I slip and fall in the mud. I walk to nearby water ditch to wash away the debris. A group of woman are busy washing and doing laundry even during the storm. One of them attempts to speak with me, but her mouth is so full of betel nut that I can’t understand. The betel nut gives her teeth a foamy red appearance. I look elsewhere only to surprise a few children. They grab my hand and excitingly exclaim, “Look what we have”. They pull me toward their home. Just outside was a fat pig ready for laughter. They chase each other with glee around a huge stack of boulders and a stone slab that are used as an ancestor memorial – like a private family tombstone in the middle of their property.<br />\nThe noise brings a curly haired man out of his house. He asks me for winning lottery numbers to play. I suggest some random numerals from the top of my head, and then he invites me inside. His walls were heavily decorated with Christian memorabilia – a crucifix, a statue of Mary, a shrine to Jesus. Old green paint peeled off the walls to expose a brownish layer underneath. Smiling children laugh at my facial features, especially my big nose, until the man tells them to fetch us some coffee. These children have been adopted by him. He helps raise them and provides an education. We drink coffee and chat. For a moment life is simple and beautiful. He is a good person who is doing truly constructive things. Then the inevitable conversation comes. I am asked to buy local Ikat weavings. The handicrafts are pulled out and scattered across his home. He pressures me to donate funds to the local orphanage, pulling out a variety of forms and bank statements. No, they don’t need books because the school will only sell them for profit, no they don’t need volunteer English teachers; all that they need is cash. Just send money. </p>\n<p>3/24 (Kelimutu, Flores)<br />\nOn top the famous volcano, with its multi-colored lakes, a small group of tourists momentarily converge. They are the first westerners that I have seen since leaving Bali. New travel bonds are formed while other travelers split into different directions. I defiantly hold to my status as a solo budget traveler. I remain silent and alone. As we are descending the volcano an argument ensues when an Indonesian tour guide asks my next destination – and an Italian woman disapproves:</p>\n<p>Me: “I am heading next to Bajawa”.<br />\nItalian: “I hate Bajawa. It’s too full of tourists”.<br />\nTour Guide: “What is wrong with tourists? I like tourists?”.<br />\nItalian: “Tourists follow guidebooks like sheep. Their travel is unoriginal”.<br />\nTour Guide: “But, tourists give me money, so I can feed my family”.<br />\nItalian: “Maybe. But, tourists destroy traditional culture. They greedily exploit locals (she snorts like a pig for greater effect)”.<br />\nTour Guide: “What is so great about tradition? Tradition can be boring. I want new things. Have you ever lived in a home with a thatched roof? There are plenty of insects and it always needs to be keep fixed. I want a better life for me and my family”.<br />\nItalian: “I don’t think you can understand. I am not a tourist; I am a traveler. This is a long-term spiritual journey for me. Tourists just want to party or relax. My travel is at a deeper level”.<br />\nMe: “C’mon, a spiritual moment can’t be chosen. It just happens. Even package tourists can experience a flash of impact and learning. Even a drunkard on a binge vacation could find God while lost on an Asian beach. Spending your parent’s trust fund on an extensive backpacking trip, and daily banana pancakes, doesn’t guarantee enlightenment or privileged karmic promotions. Why the hierarchy? There is no need to set criteria to determine the tourist group with the most significant impact: spiritual pilgrims, backpackers, package tourists, sex tourists, working expatriates, local-language speaking expatriates, gone-native married expatriates. Who cares? If your honest, you would admit that that majority of your travel consists of mundane non-spiritual experiences such as waiting for buses, reading books in skuzzy hotels, and chatting with westerners”.<br />\nItalian: “I don’t take buses. I hire my own private driver to avoid the tourists. One person, one car, can you imagine that? Travel for me is a lifestyle. It is connected to a higher purpose and self-development. For you it is only time off. I am a traveler and you are a tourist. I can’t expect a tourist like you to distinguish between the two”.</p>\n<p>At the base of Kelimutu everybody diverges. The Italian quickly races away solo with her chauffer. A German and American ride off together on a rented motorcycle. Two Dutch women climb into a taxi. I board a budget mini-van with the Indonesian tour guide, two Norwegians, and a Polish couple. I am tired of being alone and taking extreme off-routes. It is time for me to readjust my traveling goals and tight budget. The conversation still disturbs the tour guide, “What is wrong with that lady? Maybe she is a little crazy. How is she not a tourist?”</p>\n<p>3/25 (Ende, Flores)<br />\nThe bus is full. People stand in the middle of the aisles and hang out the side of the door. There is no more room. The driver reluctantly asks if I mind climbing on the roof. I don’t want to wait four hours until the next bus, so I climb the metal ladder by using a spare tire to hoist myself on top. There are already five people perched among stacks of luggage – they immediately crawl across the moving vehicle to make room. I sit on a bunch of coconuts and surprisingly find a comfortable position. The bus rapidly weaves around tight mountain turns, boulders in the road, and oversized oncoming traffic. I see enormous drop offs and sheer jagged cliffs. The road had no protective barriers other than banana trees and a variety of shrubs. The passengers on top continue to climb around the careening vehicle as it cascades onward. They swing around the sides of the bus to get a better view. I remain firmly in place, only moving to avoid tree branches and low slung electrical wires. The mountain air smells alive and fresh. Wildlife is tucked in all directions. An Indonesian taps me on the shoulder. He points to a large hawk hovering skillfully above like Archilles flying into the sun. </p>\n<p>3/26 (Bajawa, Flores)<br />\nThe hot river gracefully sleeks down in two separate waterfalls. The water dances around several crevices of smooth stone – large enough for a human body to nest in. I tuck my body into a hollow of stone. The hot volcanic spring pours its contents on me from above. To my side a river of cool water washed me from another direction. I could feel alternating currents and fluctuating temperatures. The two rivers massage away the pain of a seven hour bus ride. I scrub away at my feet with a perfectly round pumice stone. A Dutch couple flirt by the waterfall. An American – Charles – takes digital photographs to show his girlfriend. He has convinced me that I don’t need to restrict my budget so tightly; aircon and hot water are worth the extra $2. A German travel book writer – Ralf – struggles to open a beer bottle. An Indonesian volunteers for the task by snapping the cap off between his teeth. Precious dark beer sprays everywhere. In the background there is construction – a lot of new development. Tourist bungalows are hammered and woven into existence. The hint of future luxury hotels echoes in the distance. Landscapers have cleared away new footpaths. They are empty and waiting for cement to fill them in. The hot spring feels sacred, but its days of remoteness are numbered. We enjoy this moment, and this mineral spring, knowing that we can never step into either again. </p>\n<p>3/27 (Labuanbajo, Flores)<br />\nThe old fishing woman smiles at the curious foreigners who are fascinated by her two-pronged spear. She proudly demonstrates how to catch fish with the contraption. She calls her family to come witness the event. In seconds a number of children and grandchildren gather in front of her house. Her home is fitted together from corrugated metal slats. The roof was covered with rust and moss. The walls are painted in a dark green that have discolored over the years into psychedelic shades. Eventually, her son is elected to translate various questions – hers and ours – into a form of localized English. Charles, an emergency ambulance driver from America, entertains the family with pictures on his digital camera. The neighbors join in to tease the woman about her pose. Charles gets her address to mail the photograph later.<br />\nWe continue up the mountainside as butterflies float by. We duck into a restaurant with a brilliant sunset view. I have finally found a town where I can exchange money (still no ATM machine, though). I can afford a fish dinner once again. I also repay Charles for a small loan. I am still surprised at his trust of a stranger. I order beer. The restaurant staff already know our names although this is our first visit. They pass us a note left by Australian and American women who teach English in Japan. We know them from out time spent in Bajawa together. The note invites us to visit them at their hotel room. In my mind, I chase visions of passion, pleasure, and the deep earthy scents of a woman’s body. </p>\n<p>3/28 (Labuanbajo, Flores)<br />\nThe first raindrop strikes violently against the walking path stones. It rapidly combusts. Then raindrops explode in all directions as they hit. Tiny pools of water start to grow until they are large enough for ripples to take form. The mass of liquid gains momentum and sudden streams carry it away. A loud chorus echoes while the water rises above the walking path. The current flow of water is not exactly dangerous, but it does make travel less desirable. It is more difficult to move. Malaria is still a possibility. Many of us our confused: should we get out adventurously or stay safely at home.<br />\nOn the ceiling, a half dozen gecko lizards hunt for insects. One gecko goes about its business as usual. Another rests upside down reevaluating its position in life. Many baby geckos race around playfully, obliviously to me watching them from below. Several minor-sized lizards dart and flutter around creating distractions. In the corner, a slender and strong gecko waits patiently and motionlessly. It has focused on a specific target. It bids its time waiting.<br />\nTwo Muslim mosques call followers to prayer. Loud speakers across the city crackle into action, some distorted even more by the sound of heavy rain. The two mosques compete among themselves for youthful attention. Multiple caliphs call out from different places. Heads spin in both directions, listening. Songs rise and fall then go silent. They incubate in dormancy until it is prayer time once again.<br />\nA single mosquito flies to the ceiling to rest after gorging on blood from my neck. The slender and strong gecko notices the blood-filled insect (plump and unaware). It watches carefully as the parasite inches closer to the blinding light bulb. The geckos eyes roll forward. Immediately, it strikes. Boom! The mosquito is gone. However, this action was a tradeoff. At the same moment that the adult gecko lunges out of its dark corner, a distracted baby gecko falls from the ceiling. Its life ends instantly as hungry cats pounce on it.</p>\n<p>3/29 (Labuanbajo, Flores)<br />\nThe nightclub staff drains the bottle of cheap alcohol (arak) in only a few minutes. They ask for more. Another bottle is placed on the table by the manager, but it is only have full. They pour slivers of toxic liquid into small water glasses, and forgetting momentarily about the patrons, slide the alcohol across the table toward a friend. Two guitars are produced from behind the bar and a series of local and western songs spill out. The guitars are of the cheap island variety. Their necks are so warped from the blazing sun that strings could only be pushed down up to the third fret. The eclectic, self-appointed, musicians serenaded the guests. They are all young, mostly teenagers, and they all sport western-influenced style – tattooed arms, long hair, afros, brand name t-shirts. They sing mostly in English, while lacking the ability to hold a conversation in this language. Random lyrics are applied to each song, sometimes Indonesian, sometimes local dialect, and sometimes English-oriented gibberish. Singers jump into chorus prematurely, filler words are used liberally, and the sentences actually memorized are repeated regardless of what part of the song they are on. Their mistakes do not matter because their singing is heartfelt and enthusiastic.<br />\nThe nightclub staff, however, are getting progressively drunk and mischievous. The quickly inebriated musicians conspire to produce a raunchy cover of a Boney-M song: / Hooray, Hooray, / it’s a holi-holiday/ It’s a world of fun for everyone / Hooray, Hooray, / it’s a holi-holiday / Gonna get a dick massage for everyone / Get a dick massage on my holiday. The manager springs forward to swipe the remaining bottle of cheap alcohol away from them. He plugs a cork back into the bottle and locks it in a kitchen cupboard. Reggae music is quickly placed back on the stereo. I could hear the manager complaining, “My staff are always getting drunk, and they can’t even pay for their booze”. </p>\n<p>3/30 (Labuanbajo, Flores) Volunteer Teaching<br />\nThe Muslim school is constructed out of fabricated wood and tin. The walls are so thin that conversations can be heard from all other classrooms. The classroom has no books. The chalkboard consists of a piece of plywood painted black. The teacher scrawls a English lesson across the board with a small sliver of chalk. There are no computers or Xerox machines. Four students share a wooden table and there are 6-8 tables per room. The Muslim students were fascinated by the stray English teacher who walked in. Most are too bashful to speak. About 75% of the students are women. They look at me with big eyes and thick eyebrows. Their heads are covered with scarves, which only draws more attention to their smiles and wide open eyes. Many students whisper to the girl nearest them and promptly avert their gaze from me. One studious girl sat in the front row. She is the first to break the ice, “Where are you from? How long have you been in Indonesia? Do you like Indonesian food? What do you think about Lubuanbajo?”. Her questions are of the safe and predictable variety, but they successfully inspired other students to talk.<br />\nI give them a tiny warm up lecture about past progressive verb tense, but they are more curious about me – the first American ever in their classroom. I ask them question so that they can practice replying. After giggles and laughter the most fluent student is pushed forward to test his English skills. The class demands that I interrogate him about Komodo dragons. He courageous delivers a speech about the reptiles – much of it feels unnatural, straight out of a textbook, but I am thankful for his effort to communicate. The original teacher resumes his role at the head of the class, thanking me profusely, as the bright student returns to his chair. Outside about fifty younger students greet me. They speak a few words of English to me and run away. The principle explains, “Today is a big test day. These students are looking for any excuse to postpone exams”. </p>\n<p>3/31 (Labuanbajo, Flores) Volunteer Teaching<br />\nI carry a bag full of donations for the school. It isn’t much, really, just whatever resources I could put together at the last second – English books, pencils, erasers, blank paper sheets, marking pens, foreign coins. Most of the material costs nothing at all. In a weaker instinctive moment, I use money that Charles has lent me, to reroute it to the school (instead of repaying him in full). I basically sacrifice the money that I would have spent on beer to purchase classroom material. The material was inexpensive, but crucial and valuable to an impoverished school. Students study English without a textbook, they learn about computers without access to one, and geography without updated maps. They are better equipped for religious studies because that material can come directly from the soul. The teacher offers me a copy of his thesis about Komodo dragons. Beside him are tests that he has copied by rolling blank pages through a machine with carbon paper. He is very surprised that I return two days in a row, “The students are waiting for you. I have four classes ready for your visit”.<br />\nI grab a broken shard of chalk to write a quick phonics lesson on the spray-painted chalkboard. This time the students are full of questions. However, the one question that they should bring into discussion is absent. I am an American volunteer at a Muslim school in one of the most Islamic countries in the world. Nobody asks me about the Iraq War, or about conflicts in Afghanistan and Israel. They are too polite to initiate this dialogue. I wouldn’t know what to tell them. The U.S. government is willing to spend over one billion dollars every week in Iraq. But, they recoil in moral shock about the proposal to donate supplies and computers to Muslim schools such as this one. We could be sending teachers instead of bombs; English books instead of loans with interest. I would teach at this school for the smallest salary if it could only reduce my student loans back home. One can always dream. Fantasies cost nothing at all. My brief moment of political anger vanishes as I enter the next classroom. </p>\n<p>4/1 (Rinca Island)<br />\nGiant dragons strut down a trail leading to guesthouses. Some raise their heads to stick their tongue out in our direction. Other dragons slouch unimpressively by the public bathroom and garbage cans. The seven foot long, very fat, man-eating beasts look like extras in a dinosaur movie. A fearless dragon waddles toward us menacingly, then lays down promptly to fall asleep. They have skin like a checker board – colored green yellow, and white. We continue our walk past wild boar, fetid monkeys, and a variety of colorful birds. Two French men, Serge and Krist, and an adventurous Polish couple, have hooked up with us for the boat ride. The French tourists give out a muffled shout of delight. I suspect a hidden Komodo dragon or another mysterious breed of beast. The source of excitement is a mound of buffalo dung – or, more precisely, the dozens of hallucinogenic mushrooms that are growing from the bovine excrement. Our entire group immediately pick them like delicate flowers.<br />\nIn no time at all an overflowing plastic bag is gathered. We inquire if the French men plan to do a spore check to determine if the fungus is non-poisonous. They laugh with a surge of energy, “We know already, We know. Believe us we know”. I continue to pick the plentiful mushrooms. They are wet from recent rain. I follow a vein of hallucinogenic mushrooms toward a large muddy patch. I hear a distinct animalistic sound and slowly look up. A water buffalo with an enormous set of horns gazes directly at me. Confidently, it shits. I want to thank it. </p>\n<p>4/2 (On Route from Komodo Island)<br />\nWhat intensely colorful fish. They shine with such bright blue-yellow-green-red that they form entirely new colors – ones that crayon and paint factories have yet to discover. We float gently in the sea. Snorkeling feels more like flying than it does like swimming. I am flying underwater, that is what I am doing. The coral are like clouds and the fish are like little birds. I want them to swim into my hands, as if I am holding a protective nest. I am like a shrunken man in the middle of a fish aquarium. I am super small like a molecule. I could transform myself into a cartoon fish, like in the movies, if I want. Maybe I can find myself a mermaid and live happily ever after, at least this is a pleasant thought to float by.<br />\nCharles, the ambulance driver, shouts at me in slow motion, “Come here and see this highly poisonous rock fish. It’s venom is so painful that doctors pour boiling hot water on your skin just to ease the pain”. I have to check it out. Krist, the calmer of the two French tourists, lends me his fins to swim further into the sea, far away from the boat. The fins allow me to swim past the currents. In a quick moment I was there. The rock fish is so well disguised that I would have never noticed it. It blends in well with the coral stone. Charles dives in for a better look. He waves his arms frantically trying to get it to move. Toxic splinters slowly rise out from the fish’s spine like sharp needles. That is enough for me. I swim through clouds of intensely colorful fish toward our boat. A kaleidoscope of colors float brightly by. </p>\n<p>4/3 (The Middle of Nowhere)<br />\nGigantic bats flutter above. They woke with the fall of the sun. I play chess with Krist. It is a particularly intense game that we have been playing for over three hours. The players are well matched. We anticipate each other’s moves exactly. Nobody makes a mistake. Not even one chess piece leaves the board, even after two hours into the game. The chess match has hit the level where the game itself no longer matters. We are playing against the mind and style of our opponent. We try to break the will of our foe; blocking his endurance to sustain enough intellectual energy to even think about winning. We are so preoccupied, alert, and focused that we don’t notice it is raining. Soon it becomes a downpour. The boat’s crew starts rolling up carpets and throwing gear inside. Our friends hurry to the shelter of their beds. We can not quit, even after nightfall, especially after a three hours game.<br />\nThe boat crew pleads with us to seek shelter above, at least in the security of a tightly stretched tarp. However, Krist and I can’t risk accidentally reshuffling the pieces on our chess board. These final moments of our game could go either way. Rain splatters our chess board, Pools of water start to form. The king, queen, and knights go wading for awhile. We slide the chess board slightly away to block the more ferocious rain, but continue playing. We are both soaking wet. Hints of thunder and electricity loom on the horizon. The flashes of light only enable us to better see the game. We design new attack strategies as we shuffle the board to different parts of the deck depending on the direction of the rain. Heavy wind knocks some of the larger pieces over as we strike. We both offer to concede victory to our opponent, but both of our overtures are refused because the game can still go any direction. We persists as rain hits our faces like tiny pebbles. In the end it is a tie. The best chess game I have ever played was a stalemate due to rain. We might have defeated each other, but we could never claim victory over nature. </p>\n<p>4/4 (Lumbuan, Lombok)<br />\nThe small passenger boat finally docks after four days. We all stood there dumbly making no attempts to leave the boat. Land has become unfamiliar to us. Maybe earth has become spongy and might suck us in. It feels strange to stand without the swaying and shifting of sea waves. Reality hits that we have to start making plans. We swap e-mails, trade books, discard unwanted dirty clothing, and readjust our backpacks. Tourists form new links and travel groups. Promises are made for unlikely future gatherings in third countries. Several people hint of visiting me in Thailand. We might or might not ever see each other again. The Polish couple, who I know from Kelimutu, join the two French men on route to Senggigi. Ralf, the German travel writer, gets sucked into the vortex of taxi drivers and travel agents. We never see him again, but rumor has it he is somewhere on a beach in Lombok chasing dangerously sexy Indonesian women. I sell a copy of my book, ROAD RASH, to him so that I can have enough money to get to Bali. Charles decides to continue with me for a bit longer – even if I no longer owed him any money. Some go east, some go west, and others fly toward their next nest.</p>\n<p>4/5 (Pendang Bai, Bali)<br />\nThe stray dog stood proudly at the top of the temple staircase. It has gotten slightly fatter that evening by eating all the offerings of rice and sweets leftover by devotees. The dog, a tiger-striped mutt with patches of baldness, gradually descended down to the earth where us less worthy humans walked. Charles and I both photographed the apparition as it scampered past us looking for new religious offerings to consume. On our way back from the temple we search for old vices to partake in – namely alcohol and cigarettes. While Charles buys a pack o’ smokes the latest ferry boat passengers filter by.<br />\nWe hear two voices call out to us from the dark corners of a espresso café. It is the two French tourists that shared a boat with us. Their primary instinct upon hitting land is to find the nearest coffee shop. We save them from an overly aggressive taxi driver who wants to take them to Kuta. Our tourist loops overlap once again. They have altered their original plans to tour Lombok. After four days on the water land is too awkward for them, so they continue moving by ferry all the way to Bali. The French tourists have severe hangovers. It has not been an easy ride. They still escape showering even after five days. “We are French. We don’t care,” one of them proudly states. He decides to buy a new t-shirt rather than do laundry or have a bath. We soon head to a nearby restaurant to meet up with three French tourist (including two females) that Chares and I have been spending our time with. Soon there is a French continuant dining at a beach restaurant. I am the only one who requires English.</p>\n<p>4/6 (Pendang Bai, Bali)<br />\nSerge asks the man in the laundry shop if he has any marijuana to sell. “Probably not,” the attendant replies, “because I am a policeman”. Serge who is drunk by afternoon, probably overlapping with his excess of arak from the night before, covered his faux pas by quickly requesting to buy and share a round of beer. The French tourist spin doctors his mistake into a positive event. Before long, a group of us find ourselves drinking a significant number of beers at the laundry shop. Groups of children peek at us, say something like “Hello Mister” or “Where you from”, then sprint away before we can answer. We catch their attention with bad magic tricks. We make thumbs levitate and fingers disappear. I wad up balls of paper, tear them up, and transform them into a whole piece once again (actually an identical piece is hidden in the palm of my hand).<br />\nThe children amuse themselves by figuring out the secret behind our magic tricks. Then they find it more entertaining to shoot rubber bands at us instead. In the water saturated alley way, that offers no rain drainage, I chase the children away. This activity became a new game. I snatch the rubber band away from them and threaten them with it. When this game becomes boring we invent a new one. I fire the elastic band as high in the air as possible. The children jump and dive in attempt to catch it for one point. They wrestle and trip each other in strategic maneuvers to achieve the object. Then their attention spans finally runs its course. They hop on their bicycles to energetically tease and torment inebriated Serge some more.</p>\n<p>4/7 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\nThe tropical rain is hitting the bottle once again, throwing angry fits, punishing us with its staggering assault, and making life more difficult. The night is too young to sleep off the storm. I pull myself down an alley, past the sounds of growing river, and move toward a music performance. The artistic sounds are chaotic – odd scales and mysterious instruments. Metal percussion pulsates and bamboo xylophones reverberate. These are ancient instruments speaking to me. This Balinese music feels spooky. It pulls you into its web and all surrounding noise muffles in unworthy silence. I paw my way past stone walls of volcanic ash. Shortly ahead a few lights spin and ignite. Florescent light creeps into the narrow alley. Frogs leap out of my way. Traffic flashes by. I arrive at the end of the alley to reveal the musical source, which is a small outdoor meeting place.<br />\nBalinese women sensuously and slowly dance. They take a few firmly planted steps and squat self-consciously low. Their hands twist in oddly beautiful shapes. The only sudden movements are index fingers, which vibrate so rapidly that is like they are attached to a string leading directly to their clit. The remaining fingers tap out a sporadic rhythm like Morse code. Their eyes twitch in their sockets, rolling into the far corners, as if the dancers are trying to look inside their own skulls, or scanning for spirits hovering above. If there are any deities or ghosts in the audience they would surely be enjoying the show.<br />\nMy body temperature is soaring. The weather is cold and I am wet, but a fever makes me sweat more profusely than the raindrops. My sense of internal temperature is confused. I feel cold spells in the hottest afternoon sun and hot snaps even in windy rain. My joints are starting to ache as if bone is scraping bone. Fuck it! The symptoms sound just like malaria. I am far from a hypochondriac. In fact, I haven’t seen a doctor in over a decade. However, I can tell that some microscopic battle is being waged inside my body. Something feels very out of place. Where could I have chanced my meeting with the malarial mosquito: Waikabubak, Bima, Moni, Kelimutu, or Lubuanbajo? Malaria survives in all these villages. In a fraction of a second I could of slapped that mosquito to death on my skin. I can’t foresee a disease lurking within the smashed bug. Yeah, I may have contracted malaria. I need to get medicine immediately.</p>\n<p>4/8 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\nJazz music syncopates between the walls, floors, and ears. The Indonesian guitarist has computer programmed his instrument to sound like a sitar, violin, drums, or trumpet. These modern sounds are a mystery that I prefer not to dispel. The magic would be gone once the trick is revealed. Drums and bass macheted a clear pathway for the guitarist to follow. It was a language of sound. This Jazz was a live conversation. The guitar delivers a monologue, the drums ask the keyboard for answers, and the bass splinters in side talk with the bongo. The music moves in a cacophony of party talk, then all return to hear the sole advice of the guitar. Then the instruments harmonize once again. Jazz is a language, but I lack the phonetics to understand its sounds. At least my fever is going away.<br />\nFemale tourists, from the west, dance solo on the outskirts of the nightclub floor. They rock sarong-clad hips back and forth, waving their hands in the air as if they are swimming. The women’s eyes twist to the back of the room – they are searching for the mirror to see how they look. Legs pound the floor quickly like they are trying to spin the earth. And, maybe they do. Their movements rotate the globe all the way to their African sisters, who keep it perpetually spinning back to Indonesia with the momentum of dance. This energy, women spinning in the nightclub, the talk between Jazz instruments, and the outside noise of traffic – it makes me feel oddly, and somehow important. Two women watch me from either side. A Swiss woman sits to my left. A French woman, who sings with the band, is on my right. This is a decision the demands commitment to a single choice. I turn in one direction and break the ice.</p>\n<p>4/9 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\nTemple caves are carved out of the stone mountainside. Black, orange, green, and brown moss have reclaimed them. A gurgle of water slides down a stone roof of these ancient homes and splashes in a pool on the ground. The afternoon sun lights this temple grounds beautifully. Well-pronounced shadows outline sculptured windows and doors like black ink. A few of the cave homes take the human form of a skull – roof for a hairline, windows for eyes, door for mouth, staircase for teeth. There are several stone archways to pass through into a different stone neighborhood. One has a modern offering left: garlands of flowers, sweets wrapped in banana leaves, strands of silk. The archway doubles as an alter. Incense is still burning, but the pilgrim has stopped lingering around. There is no one in sight. I have the place to myself.<br />\nTourists are conspicuously absent. Indonesia has been whittled down to only 5.1 foreign visitors per year. People are still too afraid. There has been riots, bombs, and attacks on embassies. There are even news reports today about threats to blow up shopping malls or sink ferry boats. Bird flu also keeps tourists hiding in their homes. In nearly one month I have only seen two Americans in this Muslim dominated country. There is a war going on in Iraq. Americans are no longer beloved visitors. When Americans travel nowadays they often claim to be Canadian, sometimes going so far as buying t-shirts and artifacts with the Canadian maple leaf emblazoned on them. Ask questions about hockey if you want to out any of these temporary imposters. I mostly see tourists from Germany, France, and Holland. East Europeans and Russians are making solid contributions to Asia’s tourism industry nowadays, and the majority of visitors to Indonesia aren’t even westerners. Perhaps American tourists won’t have as much impact overseas anymore. We might become less important if we stop traveling.<br />\nVendors and hotel managers tell me about it being difficult to fill buses and hotel rooms. Dropping prices and cut throat competition make profits dangerously low. They promise me, with jaded optimism, that tourists will come back to enjoy the bargain rates. How long will that take? It has already been three years since the Bali bombings. In a selfish way I am content. There are few tourists around, therefore I have uninterrupted access to this temple. I sit on the tooth of a stone staircase, drinking from a coconut slowly. I know that nobody else is coming for the next 15 minutes. There is peace and quiet. The only sound at this tourist site is the flutter of bird wings over a rice terrace and a waterfall in the distance. </p>\n<p>4/10 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\nShe pours me another glass of whiskey. This time she is buying. I want to take advantage of this rare situation. I hike up my sarong, so that she can see my naked calves. I twist my ankles to flash colorful tattoos. I want her to notice my body, to get ideas about it, and to maybe act on her instincts. I slide back in my chair so that wrinkles in my lap fold just right. I don’t care if I get lucky or not. I am just enjoying this process of seduction. In the orange light of our secluded bungalow, I appreciate her high Germanic cheek bones and the thickness of her lips. She radiates curiosity. I want her to direct that energy toward me. She lights a smoke, leans forward to me, and holds a stare directly into my eyes. She smiles while thinking to herself. She opens her lips; a bead of sweat drips from them into my glass.</p>\n<p>“I disagree with you,” she says, “location counts”.<br />\n“What I am saying,” defending myself, “is that it doesn’t matter if we are in Bali or in Indonesia. The place is irrelevant. The most crucial moments happen while in transition, during the process rather than the main event.”<br />\n“But, you can not say that Austerwietz or Birkau do not matter as tourist destinations”<br />\n“No, my claim is that the site, in itself, isn’t as important as the individual process of experiencing it”.<br />\n“ Millions of people lost their lives in those concentration camps. It is a catharsis to visit the place”.<br />\n“But what I remember – that which has lasting impact – are not the ovens, the death trains, human bars of soap, or the beds where people were rolled up like a rucksack on the last day of vacation. No, what I remember was a solitary moment in a room full of empty shoes. The most significant event is when I saw a single braid of golden hair. I viewed the other stuff without difficulty, but I practically cried over that fucking hair”.<br />\n“That hair would not exist without a place to store it in”.<br />\n“True, but it is the baggage that we carry, the raw response of witness, the details along the way, in which lasting meaning is created for the individual”.</p>\n<p>I am losing her. When I drink I get too cognitive and philosophical. If I want to seduce her I need to tap into her senses. I need to spark emotional response. If she cries I can hold her. If she gets pissed off I can tap into all that passion. If I can trigger bliss than she is mine. She has been very attentive to my needs all night. This graceful woman, who is Swiss, pours me another healthy shot of whiskey. She enjoys that I am turned on by her. She dances around my seduction. She know she can have me on a single affirmative word, plus I know she desires me, too. I just need to get from point A to point B.</p>\n<p>“May I give you a massage,” I blurt out, “I have fresh sandalwood oil”.<br />\n“But, that is how it starts,” she ponders, “You give me a moment that feels real good”.<br />\n“Yes, and that moment counts. It could have impact”.<br />\n“But that moment is connected to others. It is part of continumn”.<br />\n“If you present the gift of a single word to me now, specifically, ‘yes’, than our lives would both be altered. That is real power”.<br />\n“However, that moment, no matter how intense we both know it could be, can shake up our lives after the event. There is a cause and an effect. It is the chain reaction that I fear. I care about you dearly, so let me just pour you another glass of whiskey”. </p>\n<p>4/11 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\n9:00-9:05 AM – Walking down a side street I meet a German woman. Her fire-red hair is like a trademark. I know her from my first day in Indonesia. I could have stuck with my plan to flee Kuta for Ubud, but, having shared a mini-van with her along the way, I went to Penang Bai instead. I have not seen her since. Her room is now near mine, but she is leaving in the morning. I am invited to meet her a 6:45 PM for a session of meditation.<br />\n7:00-7:03 PM – I am late and she is gone. However, in the room next door I meet the Polish couple from my 4-day boat ride. They are staying in the same hotel as the red-haired German woman. What a coincidence! We reconnect to go for dinner.<br />\n7:10-712 PM – I decide to invite the Swiss woman to join us for dinner. She is already out for the evening, but near a hotel in the same alley I meet Krist. He is drinking a beer at a souvenir shop, while Serge bargains energetically with a vender for another clean ,throwaway, T-shirt.<br />\n7:15-7:17 PM – The five of us migrate to a budget restaurant. Along the way we spot Charles at an Internet café. He is drinking a beer while E-mailing his girlfriend. He has been riding motorcycles in Bali since we last met.<br />\n7:18-7:19 PM – The Swiss woman is eating dinner in a restaurant on the same street. I run in and invite her to join us.<br />\n7:20 PM – A large global group of us have swarmed into a budget restaurant to break bread together. We squeeze in with a Dutch couple, who happen to be staying in the room next to mine. We spark a tiny global village together. </p>\n<p>In less than thirty minutes our entire group crosses paths spontaneously once again. None of this has been planned in advance. Tourists/travelers just move within the same loops and circles. We split apart and come together. We propel and collide. Somehow we find each other. I might have never met the red-haired German at all, and none of this would have ever happened. The catalyst of this evening is the appointment that I missed with her. I could have also stayed with her in Pendang Bai for one extra day, and the delay in timing might have led to entirely different people and experiences. She has had impact on me twice and I have only known her for less than 15 minutes. This night is connected by random events, chance encounter, dumb luck, and well-timed moments of coincidence. One moment we are minding out own business, sitting alone, thinking about life, and then …. Boom! Cold beers are placed on the table and we are preparing to peacefully order. We are all sharing a meal with new and old friends in a foreign country. These small coincidental incidents are worthy of memory and celebration. </p>\n<p>4/12 (Ubud, Bali)<br />\nI walk down Monkey Street Road wearing absolutely nothing but my sarong. It is pass midnight and this busy tourist street is totally empty. All the shops have pulled metal doors down over their entrances. Nothing is open except for a 24-hour corner market five blocks away. All venders and taxi drivers are asleep, and whatever tourists that remain awake have retired for the evening at their hotel rooms. There is only me and a series of stray dogs – feral packs roaming for human scraps of litter. They surround me and growl from time to time. I immediately assume the role of alpha wolf. I shout or run directly at them so they back down. If that doesn’t work I have three rocks in the palm of my hand. I can throw them like missiles if one of these hounds gets too aggressive. In my other hand dangles a leftover bottle of whiskey. There is plenty liquid left in it for the evening. I am heading home to drink it.<br />\nThere is a environmental park on Monkey Street Road. Over three hundred monkeys live in this protected zone. They are very accustomed to human beings. They love to steal from tourists and demand food. At the gateway to this park a nocturnal primate watches me. It must have insomnia or something because it, too, is awake. It casually follows me, gazing silently from the dark branches of its hiding place. The monkey becomes more bold and creeps forward. It spies an object it my hand that it mistakes for food. It rolls on all fours preparing to strike.<br />\nAt that same split second, a tourist on a motorcycle spins around the corner. He is tiredly looking for a place to sleep in this shut down city. His headlight flashes squarely on my whiskey bottle. The glass container catches the light, and the liquid inside glows bright red. In shines like candy to this monkey. It decides on action. The monkey lunges forward and strikes.<br />\nThe motorcycle slides over the monkey. The driver does not have enough time to react to the monkey that has ran into the middle of the street. The steering tire of the motorcycle grinds the monkey underneath. The primate rolls three times before hitting the curb. It lies motionless. I think it is dead. The driver and I huddle around its settled body. We don’t know what to say. I am intoxicated and he is tired. It’s not like we can provide medical aid to a feral monkey. We stare, dumbly too close, waiting for it to move.<br />\nLife is never any more powerful than 15 minutes. All the security that we can ever have, is the 15 minutes that exist before we turn a corner. We can get struck by a swerving vehicle, we can bump into a wayward priest, we can stumble across old girlfriends, step into a terrorist’s trap, or accidently run into our niece. There can be earthquakes in the next 15 minutes, as there can also be attempts at making love. We are all pregnant with the next 15 minutes that could alter our lives. Andy Warhol got it all wrong. It is not our 15 minutes of fame that matters. This dangerous sense of entitlement to fame only serve our ego and pleases our memory. Fame is irrelevant to the non-famous. For us more subtle human beings, both fame and future are always out of reach. We have the next 15 minutes to experience full existence, afterward it is all past tense.<br />\nThe monkey rolls its eyes open. It is pissed off, confused, and alive. It’s so stunned it forgets my glass bottle of whiskey. It still shines in the headlight. What is familiar to this monkey is its forest. It’s instinct is to retreat back. It wobbly climbs to its feet. It still has life, but it is altered. The monkey looks at us trying to piece together the previous events. It wants to retaliate. It leans forward to us and howls. It screams with shock and incoherence, as well as its sheer will to live. Then it becomes silent. It leaps into the shadows of some bushes and is gone. </p>\n<p>4/13 (Kuta, Bali)<br />\nI am standing in front of the Kuta monument once again. This is an intentional act, since completion is sometimes easier to understand if it moves in a full circle – rather than something interconnected and perpetually ongoing. Same as before, the prostitutes beckon to me from the outskirts of the Bali bombings monument. The same street children beg for coin. The tattooed gangster works the street on a motorcycle as always, because this is his job. It is me that is moving. What am I carrying with me? On this journey, I have traveled with many tourists: 5 French, 4 Dutch, 2 Polish, 2 Germans, 2 Norwegians, 2 Americans, and 1 Australian. It is a spontaneous community of international travelers. We could have met up in Kuta in 2002, but luckily this wasn’t our fate. We stumble on accidental moments together, and these chance meetings alter our path. Maybe we turn left, maybe it is right, but the fact is that we are in motion. We have made conscious choices. We are traveler as well as tourists.<br />\nI am here, now. Charles is with his girlfriend in Bali. My Swiss flirting partner is back with her boyfriend in her homeland. Serge and Krist are racing motorcycles somewhere across Java, the Polish couple are probably at the full moon festival in Ko Pgan Nan in Thailand. The Dutch continue with volunteer work in Bali. Ralf is probably still in Lombuk trying to get to know as many dangerous Indonesian women as he can before his visa expires. Who know where everybody else is? Our paths diverge. All we have is the memory of the moments spent together. But, these will also slip through our fingers with time. As memory fades, all that exists is the impact. The raw fact is that something we have subtly experienced, or small characters that we have met along the way, have somehow altered our lives. Cheers!</p>\n<p>4/14 (Ayutthaya, Thailand)<br />\nIt is New Year’s Day. I step out of the airport and immediately get splashed by a volley of water. The streets are thick with pink mud and gentle pools of water. I have entered into the baptismal holiday of Songkhran once again. I start this new stage of travel in Thailand soaking wet. I know water fights will continue for the next few days. It is futile to attempt to stay dry. I shuffle into a taxi going to the ancient city of Ayutthaya. Children are splashing water at passing vehicles as I pass by. My plan is to jump out of the taxi while throwing water – to surprise neighborhood children where I used to live in Ayutthaya. I taught some of them English. Maybe I had impact as a teacher. I know they are much taller than when I saw them last in 2002. I hear that one is a novice monk. Things change, and I have stepped into a different river. I am armed with a small supply of water to douse the children with (excluding the novice monk, who I must now wai in respect despite my seniority). Won’t they be surprised to meet an old friend? My excitement builds as the taxi heads northward. Pent up tension and stale thoughts release like captured butterflies. I am so happy to be back in Thailand. It feels like home. </p>','','2005-05-01 05:13:46',1,'2005-05-01 05:13:46','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(211,11,'Expatriate waves','expatriate-waves','Socializing with Mr Expatriate','When in a foreign country, expatriates have a way of forming unlikely bonds.

The good bar in Seoul was full of foreigners that could have been him; it was hard to be certain because I had never seen Sodum before. I associated him with his Internet avatar: a picture of Moe from the Three Stooges comedy troop. However, I doubted that anyone would sport the same kitchen bowl hairstyle in real life. Sodum was somebody that I became acquainted with on www.ajarn.com - a popular website used by English teachers in Thailand. He took on a high profile identity of an pro-American, right-wing, police man. Sodum sent me a private message earlier that greeted me to Korea. We were both in the same town. He claimed to be in the country as a special security advisor. His invitation was suspect from the beginning because he liked neither me or my politics. In fact, he once declared that I came from a family of Appalachian clog farmers (actually not too far from the truth). However, when in a foreign country, expatriates have a way of forming unlikely bonds. Mutual disagreements can melt away when you discover the common denominator of living in a foreign county. People who wouldn’t give you the time of day in your homeland can strike up friendships with you abroad. So I figured, what the hell, I might as well meet him – security policeman and all. </p>\n<p>I patrolled the bar looking for signs of Sodum. He promised to sport a black t-shirt with a Three Stooges logo. Memories returned as I remembered that period on the www.ajarn.com chat room forum. I had recently finished nearly two years worth of teaching in Thailand. My first book, Road Rash: Western Tourists and Expatriates at Play in Asia’s Global Village, had just been published. I saw copies of it at the airport as I flew back to the United States. I earned 3-4 months worth of bragging and shagging rights, and then it started to taper off. In the United States I was unemployed. America was in the middle of a major recession and experiencing one of its largest job losses since the Great Depression in the 1930s. I had a lot of idle time. After one superfluous resume too many, expatriate chat rooms became my outlet. I had posted on www.ajarn.com before under a different username, but this time I went into full action. The Iraq War was unilaterally declared and this website allowed me to vent frustration. Janet Jackson flashed a breast at a Superbowl game and the website enabled me to laugh at the American concept of morality. After my 100th post I announced that I would quit. Chat rooms were sucking up too much time and energy. I started to write a second book and flew to France to work on an organic farm (a story better left unspoken). But, even in Europe there was a curious temptation to check out the website anonymously. </p>\n<p>Eventually, I spent time in Berlin, sleeping in parks to save money, while lining up my next teaching job. The Internet has always proved my best source to find employment. Within days all my former schools offered to rehire me. After brief deliberation, I decided to return to Korea (because my former schools in Hungary and Thailand didn’t pay as much money). I had worked in Korea previously in 1999 and 2000 and missed Korean culture. I also wondered how previous students were doing. Berlin had a Korean consulate, which was why I floated into Germany. I had plenty of time to kill before my work visa was obtained. I went back online under the user name, “Ihavenolips”, until a series of angry hackers shut ajarn.com down. Just as I was getting into the rhythm of my identity, after making it to Korea, I was blocked from signing in. Before long, I was posting on several websites that focused specifically on Korea instead. I switched websites, but continued to view ajarn.com anonymously. There was a part of me that felt more strongly attached to Thailand. Eventually, Sodum somehow figured out my new identity (on a Korean forum) and sent me a private message. I never met somebody from an on-line chat before, and debated if I ever wanted to, but I decided to make an exception.</p>\n<p>I heard a voice shout from across the bar, “Ken May, I presume?” (I had posted links to photographs that identified me). My gaze wandered toward the voice. I imagined a bulky policeman, somebody with skin like leather, who drank whiskey straight from the bottle, a salt of the earth type, but I was surprised at the individuals who stood before me. It was a young and lanky lad who looked like he struggled to grow even a month’s worth of stubble. The kid had no muscle tone to speak of and, to my horror, he had enough acne on his neck to play a game of dot-to-dots. Was this really the face of Sodum? You can never really be sure given the nature of the Internet. I decided to play along with the gag just in case it was him. We settled in with a few scotches and stories about other posters. The person before me had clearly participated in the ajarn forum. He knew so many subtle details about it. But, something didn’t seem right, maybe it was how he embellished stories about himself. He told me how he broke up a ring of drug smugglers in the Golden Triangle and how he busted the kneecaps of crooks in America. However, the story that pushed it over the edge was when he claimed to sell arms to freedom fighters that hid in mountains on an undisclosed Micronesian Island. Freedom fighters? Mountains? Micronesia? </p>\n<p>This could have really been Sodum. However, I had to examine other alternatives. If it was a imposter than who could it be. Many pranksters also used the ajarn forum around that time: The Mad Baron, Nemesis, Dirty Dog, Biohazard, Marco? I recalled that many users had worked in Korea before: Isan Alex, Spliff, Geo, Wangsuda, and even Sodum himself. There are quite a few connections between expatriates in Korea and those in Thailand. Many teachers swing back and forth between the two countries – between decent salaries and being broke in paradise. Korea is where teachers often go for their first experience (busting their chops on a hagwon job). It wasn’t clear if this unimpressive Sodum was the real McCoy or a mock apple pie. I wondered why somebody would put all this effort into playing this joke on me. My one brief experiment with Sodum left a weird aftertaste. In the end it came down to one variable: this man was buying all my scotch. As long as he paid for my booze than he was Sodum to me. Hell, he could be the Queen of England for all I cared. </p>\n<p>After this encounter I got to thinking. The website forums used by expatriates flow in waves. There are moments when everything comes together, momentum is built, and then it all dissipates when it crashes ashore. A collection of characters conflict and collide momentarily; creating an interesting forum. In time it starts to swallow itself: posters return home, they get new jobs, move to a different country, they get turned off by trolls, discover new forums, or feel that new users water down the chat room that they once knew – or maybe angry hackers just shut it down (or Korean Netizens as described in last month’s article). However, a new wave is created as the old one is pulled back into the ocean. Suction causes each wave to regroup. Maybe a few drops rematerialize to influence the next wave – and the process starts over again. Forums can be new and refreshed, but never the same. Sodum was an old user of the ajarn forum. That period, that wave, can never be duplicated. However, my encounter with what might have been an imposter pulled me back in. This is why I started to write monthly articles on www.ajarn.com as a guest writer. Surfers don’t quit after one wave, they just wait for the next one to catch. For awhile, I rode on top of various Korean forums, while writing columns for ajarn.com in Thailand, but now it is time to land once again. My time as an English teacher in Korea is nearly over. </p>\n<p>Expatriate teachers also move in waves. In Korea it always amazes me how fast the teaching scene can change. People sign new contracts, quit and go home, or discover opportunities in different countries. The expatriate scene is always changing. The teaching population fully fluctuates; and never stagnates for long. Not long ago I decided to abstain from expatriate bars (another story best left untold). After three weeks I returned to discover an entirely different crowd. There was a new generation of teachers. There were so many new faces that I felt out of place. Many of my old friends had silently moved on. People finished contracts, couple split apart, and some teacher started new cliques at different expatriate clubs. The one thing that has always impressed me about teaching in Korea is the sheer volume and magnitude of it. Westerners from all the Native-English speaking flavors are well represented. There are many drifts and flows to float among. After three weeks of absence there was a new wave of teachers. I could either catch it or softly eddy in my own pool. </p>\n<p>These thought were especially important since my own contract was coming to an end. Time constraints forced me into making my next choice. It was with this backdrop when voices from past waves began to coincidently whirl together once again. On a Korean forum website, I suspected that a poster’s style was like someone that I once knew in Hungary. I send off a few inquiring e-mails to find out. Eventually, I learned that one of my old friends was indeed living in Seoul. I fired off one more e-mail and I was visiting her within a month. She had found her special place in Korea, in 2000, and even studied at a Korean university. She spoke fluent Korean and learned traditional paper handicrafts on the side. She taught me how to make artistic tea coasters, in an obscure shop in Itaewon that few tourists would ever hear about. Afterward, we spent the evening with other expatriates. Many of them were deeply rooted, living in Korea for years. Some had even married Korean girlfriends. I worked with this friend in Hungary in 1998 and here we were again nearly six years later. The irony is that she came to Korea because of various e-mails that I sent her. However, she arrived exactly one week after I departed. My energy initially sucked her in, but she found her own wave to ride out over the years. </p>\n<p>Now, I could have latched onto her wave. Water seeks its own level; in Seoul I quickly found kindred spirits. She introduced me to several friends who offered me a place to stay in Seoul or promised to share connections for teaching jobs. We spent the evening in an expatriate bar, drinking stout beer, and swapping business cards. In the end, it was me who found one of them a teaching job in Kumi. It was a favor for a friend of a friend. It was the least that I could do. Private schools need to learn that the most vital asset for finding future English teachers is word-by-mouth references. A hagwon’s reputation depends on it more than they realize. On one hand, there are at least seven blacklists floating around the Internet about schools to avoid. I have mixed feelings when a poster anonymously names and shames a school (because you never know the context of the situation or the critic’s credibility), but I do find these blacklists helpful at times. On the other hand, a positive reference by a former teacher can easily seal a deal. I have hooked up at least seven teachers with my former schools. Likewise, I have found Hungarian students jobs as nannies in New York and Thai students employment as hotel workers in Ohio. Even while unemployed in America, posting incoherent babble on the ajarn forum, I was still able to use enough clout to get other people work.</p>\n<p>Expatriate websites have more power than people realize. My guest writer articles on ajarn.com have reconnected me with many people. A number of teachers have stumbled across them and found my e-mail address. Like myself (while in the U.S. and Europe), these friend couldn’t resist logging onto the ajarn teaching forum while stuck to their couches back home. Old friends have written about how they missed Thailand or have requested contact information about mutual acquaintances (much like I networked to relocate the woman I knew in Hungary). Last month, in my article about tourism in Korean, I folded a single sentence about teaching job vacancies within the text. In only two days I received seven inquiries. I am happy to say that I placed at least two of them with solid jobs. No less than three people responded from Thailand. They caught a wave into Korea, but at the same time I was riding mine all the way back to Thailand. Earlier this month, I finally decided not to extend my contract and will leave Korea shortly. Call it the expatriate exchange. </p>\n<p>My goal in Thailand is to pick up my first royalty check for Road Rash and to invest it in a TEFL certificate (one of the ones advertised on www.ajarn.com). I have been teaching for so long that I might as well call it my career. It will be immensely productive for me to learn new classroom tools and methods. After five years of teaching my old classroom activities seem stale. I want to refresh them. Afterward, I am not sure where I will teach. There are invitations coming from China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kuwait, Turkey, Poland, and Costa Rica. There are so many opportunities available for English teachers these days that a qualified individual can design their own wave. Many English teachers settle down in a foreign country for years. Some get married to a local and make roots. Other teachers, like me, prefer to migrate from country to country. We enjoy the thrill of travel and cultural exchange. So Thailand will be my next stop, but afterward who know? The world is open before me. The TEFL certificate will allow me to approach it with a more smooth seduction. And I have always had that savage thirst for exploration.<br />\n****<br />\nThere is a type of liberation in knowing that you about to leave something. You are free to do what you want with less consequences. The wave that you have caught is moving in the opposite direction. Therefore, I couldn’t resist trying to get one last leg over at the expatriate bars. I started out at the Rolling Stone and ended up at Psycho – and, yes, I am using real names, just in case newbies need to find other teachers in Kumi and stumble across this article. The Rolling Stone tends to be the bar where expatriates gather early in the evening, and some never leave until sunrise. It usually boasts a population of young, single, female teachers. My last experience at Rolling Stone lead to spending the entire evening with two gorgeous women – one talked all night about India and the other spoke fondly of cows. At midnight expatriates start migrating to Psycho, filling it with wild energy. It is tradition for teachers to climb on top of tables to start dancing when they are plastered. I have seen clothing fly and underwear twist in origamic shapes. A few particularly sensual female teachers from Canada are well-known for dancing on top of the bar – sexily surfing it like it was a wave towards expatriate inebriation.</p>\n<p>My last evening at the expatriate clubs was slightly tempered by recent events in Korea. There has been growing animosity that is directed against English teachers. Last month, Korean netizens put an expatriate website out of commission, a western-style bar was publicly humiliated for hosting a wet T-shirt contest, a petition was circulated on the Internet to expel “unqualified” foreign teachers, and a number of foreign teachers have already been arrested (see my March article). I thought that the tension would blow over, but in fact it has gotten worse. A popular Korean television channel, SBS, broadcasted a sensationalist documentary about the hagwon industry. The program hired actors to portray foreign English teachers performing a variety of misdeeds. Male teachers were shown as child molesters, who corrupted minors with booze and sexual seduction. A commentator announced that only 5% of all foreign English teachers were qualified. No discussion defined what the “qualifications” were exactly, which could actually be a productive idea, but that wasn’t the issue. The television program’s motive was clear: western English teachers must be treated harshly before they spread immoral social germs like a contagious disease. As we danced, drank, and played that evening few teachers took these events seriously. Meanwhile, at Korean hagwons it was a different story.<br />\nMany parent’s saw the television broadcast and virtually all private school directors are fully aware of it. It is a hot topic in most Korean staff rooms. Some parent’s have started pulling their children out of school. They fear the immoral activities of English teachers – more specifically male teachers. I live in the countryside where these accusations have even more impact. When I notified my director that I would leave, I helped her out by finding three decent candidates for a replacement teacher. On the books their credentials were solid. However, my director changed her mind at the last second and hired a Korean teacher instead. Many parents had informed my director that they were more comfortable with the latter choice. </p>\n<p>Personally, these recent events have made me slightly paranoid. Children sometimes climb on me affectionately, but now I instinctively push them away. Young students loved this game where they grab onto my shoulders while a spin them in circles. It used to be a fun activity to break the ice, but now I refuse their pleas. Today three of my more difficult students waited for me at my apartment for an hour. They had been roller skating in my neighborhood and wanted to surprise me (in a small district all the students know where you live). Normally, I might have invited the boys in for some water. I escorted them outside instead. The last thing I needed was a rumor that students had been inside my apartment. For a male teacher all it takes is a single accusation, let alone a rumor, to ruin your reputation. Job security can be more fragile than teachers believe. Ultimately, these reports have made me more cold, distant, and rude as a teacher. It was a letdown because Koreans can be some of the warmest people once you get to know them. The children can be fun to joke with at times. I started to shut myself off from the local community. </p>\n<p>Many teachers talked about this recent television program at the expatriate nightclubs. During our weekend festivities a few of us expressed a desire to do something more about it. It was decided to hold a ceremony at the anti-western monument that was erected in 1871. The Cheokwabi monument reads: “Western barbarians invade our land. If we do not fight, we must then appease them. To urge appeasement is to betray the nation”. In some ways the recent actions against English teachers reflect Korea’s past as a hermit kingdom. The monument had symbolic significance that applies today. The idea was to visit the anti-western monument and talk about these controversies. We could learn from the situation and educate others – after all we are teachers. Expatriates planned private rituals, discussed playing music, and mentioned writing letters to Korean newspaper. A few of us encouraged monthly picnics or annual parties (starting our own traditions). I didn’t really care what form the ceremony shaped into. For me it was all about education. I wanted the other English teachers to learn about Korean history and to see a side of Korean culture that they never heard of before. The monument is in the remote countryside, in an area enriched with a Buddhist past, and no guidebook even mentions my district.</p>\n<p>The ceremony was scheduled at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Korean holiday Everybody had that day off from work. Most teachers celebrated the night before at the Psycho or the Rolling Stone. Meanwhile, I solemnly stayed home packing my luggage. When I left Korea the first time, back in 2000, I had a full blow out with other expatriates on my final evening. However, this time I wanted something different. I wanted to be sent off with a significant act. My goal was to drag teachers away from the bars long enough for intellectual conversation and stimulating exercise. This was how I sincerely wanted to spend my last night out with expatriates in Korea. I should have known better. In the morning I started receiving phone calls to report hangovers. A little later other English teachers announced that they had partied until sunrise and couldn’t make it. One teacher changed her mind because the monument wasn’t big enough to warrant a visit. Before long, I realized that our numbers were dwindling.<br />\nIn the end not one English teacher showed up. I went to our designated meeting spot – yet another pub – and waited in case somebody straggled in. The only foreigners I saw were from the Mid-East. They worked in the factories. A few of them talked with me just because we were mutual outsiders. When I told them out plans to visit the anti-western monument, one of the Arabic men laughed. He explained, “Where I come from we also have anti-western monuments, but we tend to call them burning tanks”. He went on to invite me to teach English in his country. “We may not like your government,” he stated, “but we recognize that a country’s people are not the same as those in power. I would personally welcome more English teachers into my country. English can help us to understand each other”. The Arabic man pencilled in the name of his university and a contact to write to for a job. He regrouped with the other Arabs to walk down the local red light district. I was left alone, wondering if new opportunities were really open in the Mid-East. Who knows, it may be where I end up.</p>\n<p>I strolled to the monument by myself. I intentionally timed my visit to coincide with perfect afternoon light. It was a beautiful day. The winter cold had momentarily offered reprieve. There were tempting hints of spring. The air smelled wonderful. I cleared away dead grass from the monument. I respectfully left offerings of Korean food and poured Korean alcohol at its base. I fumbled with some bastardised version of a prayer and then I ate lunch. I conducted my own private ritual (that I won’t discuss in this article) and then I meditated on my time in Korea. Then I started to celebrate. I opened up a bottle of scotch – single row malt, peat smoked, and aged 12 years. It tasted exquisite. I lamented deeply about problems between Koreans and English teachers. I thought about my expatriate friends who I might never see again. Maybe this monument only has meaning for myself anymore. Koreans don’t come here and westerners never cared about it in the first place. I have made love on the monument, pissed on it, and fallen asleep in its shadow. Maybe the ceremony I craved was one within myself. The monument enabled me to understand myself as part of a continuity of expatriates. And for this, the stone boulder deserves a toast. I lifted my chalice – an old tea cup that I bought back in 1999, that passed through the hands of several generations of English teachers. Cheers! </p>\n<p>I climbed on top of the monument and drank some scotch in one shot. I subconsciously started to dance in welcome of the spring-like sun. My memory flashed back to the Psycho club, where every Friday night sexy women spontaneously dance on top a bar counter, as if was their own monument to feminine seduction. In praise of these women I offered my own dance in return. I stood on top of the anti-western stone boulder, breathing in the energy of the upcoming spring. Then I got an idea. I rapidly peeled clothing off my body until I was fully naked. Nobody pays attention to this monument anymore so I might as well have fun. Naked and drunk, I realized that I stood atop the anti-western monument as if it were a wave. I was riding the expatriate wave for all it was worth. This was the ritual I was looking for. I was catching a drift that was leading me back to Thailand. I was surfing the stone monument. In time, a new group of recruits would arrive on Korea shores – despite all the recent controversy. And in time I would be gone. My energy spent in Korea will be reabsorbed, and I will soon become another anonymous foreigner in an endless string of English teachers. All that remains is the eternal spirit of expatriates. It was time for me to catch my next wave. And with this final act – to Korea – I wave goodbye. </p>','','2005-04-01 05:19:20',1,'2005-04-01 05:19:20','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(214,11,'Anti-American protests in Korea','anti-american-protests-in-korea2','How the ugly american ate the ugly duckling','There is a time tested strategy that nearly all nations use to deflect criticism about their poor economies and failing domestic policies.

Write me: Soulhouse69@yahoo.com.</p>\n<p>There is a time tested strategy that nearly all nations use to deflect criticism about their poor economies and failing domestic policies. Put simply, the technique goes like this: blame it on the foreigners and the minorities. In the United States economic hardships have triggered the lynching of Blacks and Hispanics. In the United Kingdom migrants from Pakistan and Africa have been the targets of animosity. Therefore, it is not surprising to witness this strategy placed into action within Asia. Western expatriates often find themselves the focus of cultural distrust and national blame. An example of this process was recently observed in Korea. Having one of the most homogenous country&rsquo;s in the world (Korea has virtually zero minority groups), its usual targets of blame are western outsiders &ndash; American troops, foreign business persons, religious missionaries, and English teachers. Each of these groups have been earmarked for removal at one time or another &ndash; especially when the economy slumps or at times of chaotic social change.</p>\n<p>Koreans resent the popular stereotype that it remains a &ldquo;Hermit Kingdom&rdquo; &ndash; an isolated and xenophobic country. But, Korean history is full of events that reflect the fear of westerners &ndash; who often possessed the dark motive of colonization. In 1866, the Taewongun (Prince of the Great Court) ordered the arrest of all foreign priests; 9-12 French priests were eventually executed and thousands of Korean Catholics perished. In the same year an American merchant ship, the General Sherman, was burned to the ground and its entire crew killed. Japan, Russia, England, France, and the U.S. all attempted to force Korea into trading relationships and religious reform. Koreans just wanted to be left alone to practice their traditional Confucian lifestyle. However, Korea&rsquo;s age of innocence was coming to an end. Internal disorder had been mounting for decades due to misgovernment and official corruption. Peasant uprisings and riots had started to occur in various provinces. Impoverished Yangban scholars and disgruntled government officials added their voice to the crisis. When Korea&rsquo;s king died, in 1863, without a male heir, the nation was thrown into even more disorder. A 12 year old boy was made monarch, the Queen assumed regency, and the Taewongun became a de facto leader with absolute authority. The Taewongun struggled to preserve the old ways, but too many citizens felt that intrusion by foreigners could bring new opportunities. Reform was truly needed, but in the meantime this intrusion by foreigners proved an useful smokescreen to underlying domestic problems.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to modern times. Korea has rapidly industrialized from an agrarian nation to a modern economy. It now has one of the most advanced broadband connections in the world. Nearly all Korean youths have access to a home computer and the skills to communicate on the Internet. Korean netizens are widely known as some of the best computer gamers in the world. Internet cafes are loaded with children playing Starcraft and other computer games. This Internet usage combined with Korea&rsquo;s global trade are given as proof that it has abandoned its self-sequestering past. Despite these recent developments, and at times even because of them, the stereotype of the distrustful Hermit Kingdom seems to persist. Every now and then an incident takes place to confirm this misperception. An event that occurred a few weeks will help to elaborate. But, first I need to backtrack a bit, to the 1990s, when Korea&rsquo;s teaching boom first stuck and a flood of westerners poured beyond its borders.</p>\n<p>English teaching in Korea exploded in the late 1990s, bringing westerners into the country at a rate never seen before. This growth of expatriate teachers roughly coincided with Asia&rsquo;s financial crisis (1997-1998). Korean companies went belly up and the value of Korea&rsquo;s currency plummeted. Naturally, foreign corporations, global politics, and western currency speculators received a share of blame (along with family-operated Chaebols and Korean bank policies). Television campaigns were launched with the &ldquo;Buy Korean&rdquo; slogan, which featured the turtle boats used to repel Japan during its Hideyoshi invasion of Korea in 1592. The symbolic importance of the commercial was not lost on Korea viewers. Newspapers often printed article about corruption in western business practices and implied that western influence would damage its economy. At the same time, many Korean believed that globalization would bring new opportunities. The English language could provide workers with job promotion and make students eligible for better schools. Despite the falling economy the demand for English teachers remained strong.<br />The internet was the most crucial tool for obtaining English teachers. Many new websites were developed as the population of native English speakers increased. One of the first websites to capitalize on this movement was www.eslcafe.com (starting in 1995). So many teachers visited this site that it had to split Korea into its own forum. This is where I found my first Korean teaching job in 1999 (my previous opportunities were found by word-of-mouth without a computer). Initially, these sites introduced potential teachers to employers that wanted to hire them. As the population of teachers increased, and technology improved, these websites started to incorporate chat rooms. English teachers craved tips and advice. Disgruntled workers posted warnings about bad schools and kindred spirits arranged meetings. Chat room posters eventually designed avatars and created alternative identities for themselves. The population of teachers in Korea has expanded to such a large degree that there are now dozens of websites, blogs, and chat rooms available (www.expatinkorea.com, www.koreanesl.com, www.efl-law.org, and www.englishspectrum.com). A few of these websites even started to profit from advertisements. The ugly duckling was maturing into a beautiful swan.</p>\n<p>The most recent controversy ignited in Korea due to posts on the English Spectrum website. An individual poster named Lucky Guy started a male bravado thread entitled, &ldquo;How to Mollest Female Students&rdquo; [sic], in which he bragged about how easy it was to have sex with Korean women. Fellow posters responded with crude lists of conquests and infantile remarks of what posters found disgusting about Korean females. Other trolls remarked that Korean men are selfish and unskilled lovers. Some suggested tips to get laid like speaking English while pretending to need help with directions. A poster named Playboy added a party advertisement that hinted of sex. The English Spectrum website went as far as hosting the party, which was held at an expatriate club known as Mary Jane&rsquo;s. Photographs from the event&rsquo;s wet T-shirt contest appeared on the Internet &ndash; featuring both Korean and western women in see-through shirts. By western standards these pix were rather tame, the party wasn&rsquo;t anything more shocking than the standard Friday night at a frat house, and the style of demeaning commentaries are commonplace on the Internet. On-line anonymity allows behavior such as flaming and trolling that might not take place otherwise. Most distinguished website simply employ volunteer moderators to edit out offending material. Moderators have the power to delete a thread or to move it into a different location (the ice box). However, the English Spectrum encouraged degrading narratives with its &ldquo;Ask Playboy Forum&rdquo;. The intention might have been humorous satire, but for Koreans the website struck a bitter nerve.</p>\n<p>It should come at no surprise that many Asians also view these websites. Local students practice English skills, school directors scope them out to spot trends, and the host country&rsquo;s intelligence service gathers information from them (for what its worth). When Korean netizens stumbled across this thread a flurry of anti-western political activism exploded on-line. An on-line petition was circulated to have &ldquo;unqualified&rdquo; teachers expelled from the country. A Korean portal site called Daum gathered several thousand signatures towards this goal. The exact criteria for a &ldquo;qualified&rdquo; teacher was never an issue (and it was uncertain if the offending posters were even teachers), but the sentiment to have undesirable teachers removed was strong. Korean netitizens also created an anti-English spectrum website to vent complaints. Before long a few Koreans advocated the assault of male teachers at popular nightspots. English teachers were warned in Sinchon, Hong-dae, and Hongik University. The Korean women in the photographs at the expatriate club were named and shamed. The nightclub owners were ridiculed. The websites frequented by English teachers were bombarded by angry locals. Hackers promised to stage attacks and Koreans threatened to have advertisements pulled. In reflexive response, www.eslcafe.com (which heavily moderates its threads anyway) promptly announced that it would delete all postings about the English Spectrum controversy. Moderators at other websites pulled threads. The www.efl-law.org posted a warning on its home page, and steered dialogue away from the topic. In the end, English Spectrum was shut down.</p>\n<p>Korean netizens hailed this overblown political activism as a victory. They successfully put the offending website out of commission. But, was this action really a victory to be proud of? Korea is full of struggles for free speech and democracy. In an earlier time of domestic crisis, 1980, the Korean military dictator, Chun-Doo Hwan, made drastic alterations to the nation&rsquo;s constitution after coming to power by violent coup. Angry university students organized a rebellion in Kwangju, and as many as 2,000 Koreans were massacred for advocating democratic reform. Chun Doo-hwan declared private schools illegal between 1981-1988. Many hagwon&rsquo;s were forced into closing. Some teachers had been arrested and a number of foreign expatriates were expelled. Japan, in contrast, leapt at the opportunity to hire English teachers during the 1980s; while Korea was banning its private schools. Perhaps this is one reason why Japan&rsquo;s economy is more successful today. Obviously, the Kwangju massacre doesn&rsquo;t register on the same scale as the present day attempt to shut down Internet sites. However, it is ironic that in only one generation Korean university students stepped away from fighting for free-speech, to advocate the position of censorship instead.</p>\n<p>It is a double-edge sword that they weld. Korean netizens craved the ability to block offensive websites. But, this desire is also possessed by tyrannical governments. The same censorship that Korean netizens employ against westerners might one day be revisited on them. Check the bookmarks in any Korean Internet cafe, click on the history links, and you will likely find many sites that could be deemed subversive. Explicit pornography, pirate sites for downloads, left-wing political websites; more than a few Korean netizens could be caught in that net. When Korean netizens had the English Spectrum disabled, and other websites self-censored in reaction, it also put an end to useful dialogue. Offensive posters merely switched to a different homepage or changed their username. A significant number of posters switched from eslcafe to expatinkorea in anger of deleted threads. The stereotype of the hermit kingdom was confirmed in many western eyes, and the image of the salivating western pervert was reinforced for Koreans. The teaching moment was lost. The truth between these extremes was buried instead. It is the flow of free dialogue, even in crude and offensive forms, where the seeds of understanding are sewn. In the words of Voltaire, &ldquo; I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write&rdquo;.<br />****</p>\n<p>The violent threats made to western teachers and the attack on expatriate websites did not exist in a vacuum. The timing was appropriate. Foreigners are easy targets to blame, but overriding internal factors lurked within. The National Statistical Office announced that, in 2004, the private academic sector, known as the hagwon industry, declined for the first time since this data was compiled. The growth rate fell by an astonishing 8.3%. The sluggish Korean economy and soaring price of tuition are the main causes. Program fees have risen quicker than the rate of overall living costs. Parents simply can&rsquo;t afford to send their children to school like they used to. The Korean economic slump, like the recession in the United States, hit hard between the years 2001-2002. There were massive layoffs at factories and a high unemployment rate. A shocking number of personal and corporate bankruptcies took place. The previous financial boom lulled companies into bad loans and individuals into the faith of credit cards &ndash; and it all crashed down on them later. The rate of divorce and suicide were so high in 2004 that Koreans are naturally frightened. The family structure and social order is falling apart.</p>\n<p>Many Koreans started new hagwons or restaurants to survive. The Korean government did not place strict regulations on a hagwon owner&rsquo;s qualifications, so it was an industry where the newly unemployed could turn. Before long a glut of private schools saturated even smaller cities. With all the new competition many of the old schools couldn&rsquo;t make ends meet. Students transferred to newly emerging hagwons or parent&rsquo;s pulled them out due to lacking tuition funds. Many former customers now prefer to learn English for free on popular radio programs and educational television shows. The trustworthy private academic sector was thrown into chaos. President Roh Moo-hyun promoted education reform to the Korean Congress, but the size of the hagwon industry is so large that it is difficult to alter policy. There is big money involved, and some of the corporate franchise schools have become so powerful that change is resisted. These private schools are firmly rooted in Korean society, therefore attention was placed on expatriate English teachers instead. The role of outsiders and the visa regulations that governed them could at least be changed. Foreigners were already in the spotlight due to a surge in crime, and to a degree this information provided a proper scapegoat.</p>\n<p>Several newspapers printed articles that crimes by foreigners had jumped by 48% in 2004. Last year there were 9,103 cases of crime by outsiders; compared with only 3,438 during my last year in Korea (2000). The majority of these crimes are non-violent: fraud, document forgery, bogus marriage, and illegal residency. The nature of these violations suggests foreign workers who commit illegal acts to supplement living costs. In fact, it is estimated that around 188,000 people work in Korea illegally. It is consensus that many of these illegal workers are teachers. The demand for English teachers is so high that hagwons will often employ foreigners without question. There are seldom background checks made. A few teachers have fled criminal records back home. Canadians are issued a six month tourist visa and a significant number of them teach without a work visa during this time. Likewise, English teachers are sometimes hired from India or the Philippines even though this conflicts with government regulations. Some of these crimes by foreigners include more severe activity such as homicide, pedophilia, and drug-related acts. There were 60 murders by foreigners in 2004, which is an increase of 87%. Drug crimes soared 82% to 218 cases. In reaction to this crime wave police have staged many crackdowns. Over forty foreigners were recently snared by police in Gyeonggi.<br />Police crackdowns were also staged with publicity in a red light district near an American military base. A few symbolic arrests were made on &ldquo;Hooker Hill&rdquo; in Itaewon and many nightclubs temporarily shut down (but, bars hosting blonde Russian women remained curiously open). For a while, Hooker Hill turned into a dusty ghost town. Before tumble weeds could start blowing by, however, the world&rsquo;s oldest profession began to trickle back into these &ldquo;juicy bars&rdquo;. There was simply too much money to be made. The overriding issue was not just prostitution, but the regulation of crimes by westerners. Indeed, there are over a dozen red light districts in Seoul alone and brothel clientele often include married Korean men. But, Hooker Hill had symbolic importance because that is where many westerners go.</p>\n<p>Unrelated events added fuel to the fire of anti-Americanism. The &ldquo;Ugly American&rdquo; was caught in the limelight once again. North Korea had just announced its production of nuclear weapons and many Koreans felt that President George W. Bush&rsquo;s arrogant warmongering had something to do with it. Bush was blamed for the failure of President Kim Dae-jung&rsquo;s &ldquo;sunshine policy&rdquo; to materialize. The Iraq War is viewed as part of the U.S. lunge toward global domination. Many Koreans resented U.S. pressure to involve Korean troops. The killing of a Korean hostage by Iraqi insurgents also fanned the flames of anti-Americanism. Perhaps even more troubling was an accident involving the deaths of two teenage girls because an 50+ ton American military vehicle ran over them. The girls were innocently walking together on the edge of a road by a bridge when they were crushed by a tank that extended too wide. The girls were killed instantly. American troops were portrayed as showing careless disregard for locals. The public outcry and protests overshadowed the fact that crime committed by U.S. forces and their family members had actually declined by 35.9% in 2004.</p>\n<p>When the English Spectrum issue broke out many Koreans automatically assumed that the offending posters were American. Given the anonymous nature of a username, how could anyone arrive at this conclusion? In fact, the majority of English teachers are not from the United States. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have significantly large expatriate communities in Korea. Therefore, why did the Korean netizen campaign have an anti-American edge? The Ugly American had devoured the beautiful swan of Korea&rsquo;s private academic institutes. The sexist postings by men on English Spectrum provided useful evidence. Lucky Guy and Playboy were caught picking their teeth with the bones of the leftover carcass. The more colorful feathers were overshadowed. Many Korean youths are intermixing with English teacher in constructive endeavors. The controversial party at the nightclub only distracted attention from the fact that some Koreans have joined the celebration. Expatriate bars can be fun and a rare chance for Koreans to appreciate cultural diversity. Some may fear the Ugly American, but others welcome the opportunity to mingle.</p>\n<p>When Korean netizens launched their campaign against English Spectrum all these issues were fully known to them. Insensitive posters, such as Playboy and Lucky Guy, played right into stereotype &ndash; immoral perverts and criminal colonists. When they arrogantly bragged about sexual exploits over Korean women, the struck chord resonated with deeper fears: skyrocketing divorce rates, interracial marriage, the adoption of Korean children by westerners, the changing roles of women. It struck right into the heart of the conservative Korean family. The idea that these outsiders were also teachers (a fact never confirmed) also appealed to those who worried about Korea&rsquo;s suffering private academic sector. Westerners are often viewed as lazy, overpaid, and spoiled. Korean teachers work longer hours for less pay, and are often required to do extra janitorial work. Foreign teachers, especially if they slack in the classroom, are sometimes perceived as a drain on hagwon profits. When parents fork out hard-earned cash for soaring school fees, they want teachers that will treat education with respect &ndash; and they deserve it! It might surprise them that many foreign teachers feel the same way. We agree that teachers need better qualifications before they are hired. However, this discourse is precisely what was lost when English Spectrum was shut down and other websites banned threads about it. The English Spectrum controversy brought the venom to the surface. It was a good time to treat the wound.</p>','','2005-03-01 05:24:40',1,'2005-03-01 05:24:40','2009-12-14 13:01:42'),(215,11,'Lost in transformation','lost-in-transformation','Observations on Korea\'s Tourist industry','The problem is that Korea has difficulty finding an image that it can advertise to the world to bring tourists in.

Many people teach English and conduct business in South Korea, but relatively few westerners vacation here. Last month, I made several spontaneous road trips to learn why. As a side note: I want to announce that there are several new job openings for English teachers in Gumi City (The Silicone Valley of Korea). Your salary will be over two million won per month. If interested, E-Mail me at: soulhouse69@yahoo.com</p>\n<p>Korea’s most recent tourism campaign promotes the slogan, “Dynamic Korea: Hub of Asia”. The self-perception is that Korea has the capacity to become the center of business and leisure travel in Northeast Asia. This patriotism derives from the fact that Korea developed, in only a few decades, from being one of the world’s poorest nations to becoming a thriving industrialized country. Its current goal is to take it one step further by becoming a hub city. South Korea has a strong economy due to its production of electronic goods, steel products, and automobiles. This modernized country has superb port facilities, industrial zones, and shipping fleets to encourage trade. Nevertheless, Korea fails to attract serious attention to its desire to be the economic center of Northeast Asia. The problem is that Korea is sandwiched between two monolithic giants. To its east Japan has the world’s second largest economy. To its west China lurks with the fastest growing economy. In reaction, with national pride still strong, South Korea wishes to promote its tourism industry.</p>\n<p>The problem is that Korea has difficulty finding an image that it can advertise to the world to bring tourists in. There are many beautiful beaches, mountains, and temples that are worth seeing. However, many other countries in Asia and Europe also have similar attractions that can heavily compete. Why sacrifice a visit to a topless Greek island, in the Mediterranean climate, to sleep on a crowded Korean beach? Why hike up Seorak Mountain when you can ski down the French Alps? China has its Great Wall and Japan offers its Zen gardens in Kyoto. China is famous for its Kung Fu fighters and Japan widely known for its Samurai warriors. In contrast, the Korean National Tourism Organization (KNTO) can’t successfully market its own Yangban elites, who quietly practiced Confucianism during the Choson (Yi) Dynasty. The Yangban scholars lack international appeal, and the flat screen television factories won’t draw in leisure travelers either. What does Korea have then that will interest foreigners? What exactly is dynamic about Korea?</p>\n<p>Last month I searched for the soul of Korea. My original plan was to take a train to Jeonju – the city that is widely noted for its traditional music and art. The southwestern coast of Korea receives few tourist visits, and I wondered if the little known Jeollabuk-Do province had backpacker potential. I went with a friend to the Gumi train station to buy tickets. We even brought a map to point to our travel destination. During the course of our simple business transactions no less than three Koreans cut in line. Even as money was exchanging hands, impatient individuals batted us aside so that they could buy tickets instead. The distractions had its hidden cost, as we found out later when we arrived at the wrong destination. We actually landed in the northern Chungcheonbuk-Do province in a city called Cheongju. The mistake was due to the Romanized spelling of the Korean alphabet. Each city can have multiple spellings by maps and guidebooks. Both cities in question were spelled exactly the same way on our map. Our western pronunciation must have also been flawed. The fact that we alluded to a bilingual map, with our destination circled in red ink, should have alerted the cashier. But, here we were lost in a city we never heard of before. Strike one!</p>\n<p>In true backpacker spirit we persevered. Our objective was to find the heart of Korea. Why not look for it in a randomly selected city? The train station lacked any form of brochure or city map. If there was anything dynamic about Cheongju it remained a mystery to us. We dipped into our packs for an outdated guidebook (always a sense of defeat for me). The resource acknowledged a variety of sites nearby worth seeing: an old mountain fortress, a national museum, a sprinkling of Buddhist temples, and two mineral springs. The next problem was learning how to get to them. Most Korean streets do not have names. Therefore, there is seldom an exact address for finding desired locations. The city center was located far away from the train station and the bus information in the guidebook was not accurate. We took two of wrong buses toward the city center, and finally climbed off in some unknown district just because it had hotels. It was late and there wasn’t any sense in getting even more lost. We arrived in the seedy red light district of the city and stayed at a sex motel. Instead of exploring city sites, we ordered pizza, and stayed inside touring the G-spot. All in all it was a very good night.</p>\n<p>The next morning we rented a taxi to get to the city center. This was the true Korea: shopping malls, neon-lit karaoke clubs, and food zones. Nearly every Korean city seems to have a districts like this. The highlight was our trip to the French-owned, Carrefour, super store. We bought a nice wine and some cheese for a romantic picnic by a very polluted river. A shallow stream of brown water tricked by as we dined below a bridge underpass. We are expatriates and the fine wine was a precious novelty even if we drank it out of plastic cups. The cheese was cut with dental floss. We tore at a chicken carcass with our bare hands while Korean joggers strove by. What made this a splendid experience was that we had each other. It was accidental tourism, full of unplanned mistakes, but we made the most out of it. The rest of the day was spent at a few temples and a municipal park. We both wanted to see the fortress and mineral springs, but there was no more time. We already squandered too much energy just trying to find them. If Korea wants to expand its tourism industry in remote cities such as Cheongju, it must first invest in basic material such as brochures and maps. It would also be useful to start providing streets with names, so that a specific address can be found.</p>\n<p>If we were tourists we could have easily spent an extra day or two exploring the region, there are quite a few sites worthy of seeing, but as English teacher we needed to return to work. It wasn’t clear how to take a bus directly back to the train station, so we opted for a taxi instead. We attempted to communicate with drivers in both Korean and English. Even though English is a requirement in government schools few Koreans seem willing to speak it with foreigners. Students are well trained in the art of passing the TOEIC exam, but crumble when using practical English for conversation. Several taxies raced by us rather than deal with our question about rides to the train station. Once inside a taxi tourists are vulnerable to the driver’s dishonesty. To our misfortune, the taxi driver decided to hike up the fare by driving us to a train station in a totally different city. It should have been obvious to take us to the nearest station which was only 15 minutes away. Instead, he drove us all the way to the city of Jochiwon. He made his quick profit off us unsuspecting foreigners, but the bad taste afterward blocked any desire to return to the city later. Strike Two!</p>\n<p>Korea’s main location for tourism is Seoul. During its isolated past as a hermit kingdom few travelers were allowed to venture inland. Korea’s borders were closed to westerners until the 1870s. Even today few travels venture to the smaller inland cities. The second hot spot for tourists is Jeju-Do, an island especially favored by couples on honeymoon. However, it costs nearly as much to fly to Jeju-Do as it does to Bangkok. I would rather spend the extra $100 to go to beaches in Thailand. Oddly, the fastest growing tourism attractions in Korea are the locations where Korean soap operas were filmed. Korea exports its daytime dramas (“Autumn in My Heart” and “Winter Sonata”) across Asia. They have become very successful in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand. Entire group tours are designed to promote soap opera related travel. Likewise, many Asians visit Korea because they are inspired by Korean movies or pop stars. This enthusiasm for Korean pop culture is called “Hallyu” (Korean Wave). Thousands of Asians flock to Korea every month to experience its culture. It is a major boast to its tourism industry, albeit one that doesn’t translate well for western tourists.</p>\n<p>Tourism in Korea is best described as Asian. In 2004, there was a total of 5.8 million visitor arrivals in Korea (slightly more than half the amount in Thailand). Of this number 4.3 million visitors came from Asia (and 2.4 million of these were Japanese, the largest tourist group). An additional 300,000 overseas visitors were actually Korean nationals returning to the homeland. According to statistics produced by the Korean National Tourism Organization of visitor arrivals by nationality (see chart below), only two western countries made the top ten list: The United States ranked third (below China) and Russian ranked at sixth place. The entire non-Asian world combined only adds up to 1.2 million visitor contacts. The lack of western enthusiasm for Korea is detailed by the fact that, of the 1.2 non-Asian visitors, nearly half of them came from the United States. A significant percentage of these Americans visit family and friends on military bases. Without the presence of the U.S. military, how would Korea continue to attract these American visitors? The third largest group of western visitors are Canadian (more than 77,000), and I swear that 99.9% of them arrive in Korea as English teachers. They form Korea’s largest community of expatriate teachers, affectionately referred to as Canukistan.</p>\n<p>Top Ten Visitor Arrivals to Korea by Nationality (plus Canada)<br />\n1- Japan 2,443,070<br />\n2- China 627,429<br />\n3- U.S. 511,177<br />\n4- Taiwan 304, 912<br />\n5- Philippines 213,435<br />\n6- Russia 156,876<br />\n7- Hong Kong 155,065<br />\n8- Thailand 102,000<br />\n9- Malaysia 93,985<br />\n10- Singapore 85,000<br />\n11- Canada 77,597</p>\n<p>When you crunch the numbers Korea can hardly be characterized as a tourism hub. Nevertheless, it has improved drastically in the last few decades. In 1961, a scant 11,109 visitors arrived in post-war Korea. It first broke the one million visitor mark in 1978 (Thailand did it in 1973). The World Cup series encouraged 5.3 million visitors to arrive in 2002. The present total of 5.8 million visitor contracts translates into big business. The Korean tourism industry now earns well over five billion dollars in tourism receipts each year. In 1986, Korea broke the one billion dollar mark for the first time. Korea finally understood the power of tourism during the height of Asia’s financial crisis (1997-1998). The stock crash and declining currency value forced many Koreans to declare bankruptcy and corporate profits to plummet. However, its tourism industry surged by 34%, in 1998, due to bargain travel rates and currency exchange value. Korea hit its peak year in tourism dollars that year ($6.8 billion), a rate that it hasn’t matched ever since. The 34% growth in tourism receipts was very significant because it translated into an increase of over $1.7 billion dollars from the previous year. Not bad for a time of severe financial crisis. When the SARS virus hit in 2003 Korea’s tourism profits declined by 11% - an estimated loss of over $677 million dollars from the previous year. This impact of new tourism dollars is crucial. Now that Korean factories must compete with new Chinese enterprises, the alternative tourism industry becomes even more valuable to Korea’s fragile economy. </p>\n<p>The question remains: will the “Dynamic Korea” promotion campaign be able to sustain its tourism industry. The “Hallyu” movement will continue to attract Asian tourists. Korea is a relatively inexpensive place to travel, even for the citizens of less developed Asian countries. It is located nearby, a quick flight away, and its easy for Asians to obtain a tourism visa. However, Korea needs to allure more western tourists into the country since their expenditure rate tends to be much hire (with the exception of Japanese tourists). The image that Korea advertises, therefore, must be strong enough to convince westerners into investing $1,000 for an air ticket to come here. The tourism campaign’s choice of a cute Pokeman influenced mascot – much like the cartoon characters used to promote the World Cup – isn’t a realistic enough image to get the attention of adult tourists. Moreover, images from Korea’s past now echo with falseness. Korean woman have given up traditional clothing to emulate western fashion. Korean men never dress like their Yangban ancestors because that lifestyle died with Japanese colonization. Old traditional villages have been demolished to make way for 20-story housing towers. Even “Hallyu” reflects western culture with its soap operas and pop music. Therefore, how can Korea use these images to bring in western tourists?</p>\n<p>The best parts of traditional Korea hide in its mountains. There are wonderful Buddhist temples that remain active. Tourists just have to figure a way to get to them because they are rarely advertised at train stations. In my province, Gyeongsangbuk-Do, there are dozens of temples less than one hour away from my home. In Gimcheon there is the enormous Jikjisa temple which is over 1,500 years old. Near Daegu there is the Donghwasa temple with the largest statue of Buddha in the world (33 meters high). There is also a beautiful temple build directly into the rock summit of Geumosan, a mountain in the city where I live. I can even walk 15 minutes from my apartment to visit a hermitage operated by Buddhist nuns in a forest. The natural scenery and culture exists that can attract westerners, but it has to be found with some effort. The Buddhist and Shaman traditions are alive and well. However, modern Korea seems to be too ashamed of this past to actively promote it. This reluctance is due to the fact that modern Korea is comprised primarily of Christian and Confucianism religious groups. </p>\n<p>The truth is that in its quest to become a modern industrialized nation, Korea has sacrificed the very images needed to promote itself. I live in the industrial center of Korea: Gumi City. There are two rivers near my home that had once been used by its fishing industry. Traders drifted by to sell merchandise. Today the rivers are diverted for use by its factories. What remains is a shallow brown trickle that is so polluted with chemicals that even carp can’t survive. These rivers could have been used for riverboat tours, but instead they are so depleted that I could walk across them without getting my feet wet. There is no chance to revive these rivers for ecotourism. The images that remain for westerners are factories and the Korean War. The DMZ zone is another hot spot. Tourists go there to peek across the border at North Korea or to view tunnels dug by the enemy. This limited destination focuses on Korea’s past, however, more than its potential future. Why travel a thousand miles away to a country, only to gaze at a demilitarized zone that reminds viewers that they can’t travel any farther? </p>\n<p>To be a hub city, tourists need to link Korea with other destinations. Tourist can’t travel overland to China because all land travel halts at the North Korean border. Visitors can only link to Japan, China, and Taiwan by air – which can be very expensive without multi-stop ticketing discounts. In result, visitors come to Korea for business at a greater percentage rate than most countries. Leisure tourism remains a relatively small motive. The visitors that come here tend to be older than the tourists at more popular destinations. Specifically, Korea fails to attract the backpacking community. Korea’s tourism industry views backpackers as less desirable. Therefore, its target audience is quality tourists (in other words, people with money to burn). This miscalculation is to Korea’s misfortune. Tourists with fat wallets can afford a vacation in Europe or live like royalty in exotic Thailand. It is youthful backpackers that explore more remote areas to establish new hot spots. It is a predictable pattern: backpackers adventurously “discover” a new location, word-of-mouth attracts new visitors, a tourism ghetto eventually forms, and then quality tourists spread in as a desirable reputation is established. It is always the budget conscious backpackers that first return to an area after a financial crisis, civil war, or natural disaster (like the recent tsunami). Therefore, it is puzzling that Korea refuses to advertise a national image that will appeal to youthful backpackers.</p>\n<p>Last month, I searched for the Seoul of Korea. My original plan was to take a train to the capital city. I did not have a set destination, but instead just took a subway to a random spot somewhere in the city center. I wanted to avoid the Itaewon district. Itaewon is the tourist ghetto of Korea (sort of like Khaosan Road, but with older tourist groups and a larger military presence). Most western tourists eventually find a pathway into the district. Itaewon is a rare island of diversity in Korea’s highly homogenous society. The district is full of Russian tourists, Arabic businessmen, Indian traders, and American soldiers. It is one of the few places to buy ethnic food or used books in English. It is the location of the infamous Hooker Hill. This red light district was once lined with bars full of prostitutes. However, recent government crackdowns have nearly turned Hooker Hill into a ghost town. The decision to halt prostitution is morally upright, but a bad choice in terms of tourism. There is a lot of money generated by vice-oriented travel. The true value of Itaewon, however, isn’t due to its tourism potential, since most western countries have similar shopping districts. The district’s importance lies with the expatriate community, who appreciate its diversity and welcome the change of pace. Itaewon is a substitute that reminds us of life back home.</p>\n<p>My eventual destination was a street known as Insa-dong. This area is full of art houses, antique shops, and Zen-style tea houses. This single street best approximates the image of traditional Korea. Many of the buildings are constructed from wood and stone instead of concrete. Many interiors walls are textured with bamboo instead of mass-produced plastic wallpaper. Traffic is reduced so that pedestrians can walk without the fear of being struck by a motor vehicle – a very rare luxury in Korea. Insa-Dong is also a hot spot for tourism. However, there has been a major struggles to prevent its overdevelopment. Western corporations have tried to force their way onto the street. There is now a Starbuck’s, a few shopping malls, and a museum of erotica. Add one McDonald’s franchise and the street will be ruined. If Korea isn’t cautious this rare image of tradition will be lost in transformation.</p>\n<p>Can modern images replace the traditional portraits of Korea – and still continue to attract tourists? To a degree they can. There is a large area five minutes away from Insa-dong that is comprised of drinking establishments and restaurants. Pedestrians can walk 4-5 blocks and see nothing but nightclubs, karaoke clubs, and food stalls. The district shines bright at night with neon lights in multiple colors. There are bars that tower 6-7 layers high. Korea is not known as a party destination, but it clearly has potential in this field. Tourist can drink all night on the cheap. All they have to worry about is staggering to the nearest Yogwan (budget hotel) at the end of the evening. There are dozens of cheap places to stay nearby. I found a hotel with a waterbed, video player, and private in-room computer for less than $40 per night. I also found a more seedy room for only $25. The pathetically budget-conscious tourists can sleep in the local YMCA. There are hundreds of Korean restaurants available when the munchies kick in. Korean food is tasty and inexpensive. Tourists can grill their own bulgogi on a custom-built Korean table. The district never closes. You can find a party 24 hours a day. Korea is a conservative country that probably prefers to avoid the image of a partying nightlife – especially since alcoholism is a major problem – but, this is the very bait that will allure young travelers into Korea. Throw in some bass and drums and you have a “hallyu” that western youths can really bite into. </p>\n<p>Korea has the capacity to increase tourism to a level it never dreamed of before. Will it become a hub city? That is highly unlikely. Will it ever be viewed as a dynamic country? That is quite possible if the Korean National Tourism Organization plays its cards right. For a start they must make more remote cities accessible for random visitors. Each city should at least make maps and brochures available at train stations. Natural scenery and Buddhist temples have major appeal once visitors can find them. The large cities (Seoul, Busan, and Daegu) should promote tourist zones without congested traffic. The image of a thriving nightlife can draw visitors in. The “Dynamic Korea” campaign failed primarily because it did not understand the western images of itself. Korean tourism suffers a Catch-22: When it advertises its industrial success western tourists visualize factory pollution and traffic jams; when it promotes it traditional past it only reinforces the belief that Korea is a xenophobic nation – a hermit kingdom that distrusts all things foreign. Traditional Korean society no longer exists, and the transformed nation is viewed as too stuffy and factory-ridden. Korea needs to downplay the DMZ Zone, in favor of an updated image that is not bound to past wars. The rapid post-war industrialization that Korea is so proud of, is the very thing that frightens tourists away. </p>\n<p>The soul of Korea was lost in transformation. Korea can never retrieve its past. It will have a tough time bringing its rivers back to life. But, there is a remedy in sight. The beauty is that it is already here. Tourists visit destination based on word-of-mouth. Western tourists will only come to Korea based on how it is advertised by other westerners. English teachers are Northeast Asia’s version of the backpacker communities seen in Southeast Asia. There is a fleet of English teachers that travel across Korea every month. We blow our paychecks exploring new sites and drinking at nightclubs. We contribute to the economy and “discover” remote areas that are off the tourist loop. We take lessons in Taekwando and Hopkido. We experiment with Asian medicine and take classes in Korean yoga. Most of us explore Korean food and some even study its culinary arts. These are some of the images that get the attention of westerners. English teachers tell stories about Korea that motivate other westerners to visit. If Korea really wants to attract westerners it should take advantage of the abundant resource of young English teachers. </p>','','2005-02-01 05:32:48',1,'2005-02-01 05:32:48','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(216,11,'The staff room','the-staff-room','Inside a Korean hogwan','A total of seven teachers work at my school.

If I want to learn about the meetings I will talk to the director afterward.','<p>This week’s article provides a general outline of my work situation in Korea. It offers a brief glimpse inside the staff room of a typical Korean hagwon. It is based on my own experience, so please realize that other teachers will have different interpretations. The last thing I need is a bunch of oversensitive posters (from the Korean forum on www.eslcafé.com) sending me whining private messages that this article doesn’t accurately describe their own situation. I should also clarify that I am not complaining. I like my job and am thankful to have it. However, if a reader is wondering what to expect from a private school in Korea, before signing a new teaching contract, this summary illustrates with a helpful background. </p>\n<p>It was five minutes before class. I rummaged through the bookshelves to find teaching material. Moments before, I was informed that a new class of teenagers was added to my schedule. The students were not at the basic conversation level, so I wanted to produce a handout as a helpful aid. It is very rare for a student to take notes or to copy down anything that I write on the whiteboard, thus it helps to provide them with this information in advance. I eventually stumbled across an exercise from Side By Side (on subject-verb-object word order) and rushed to Xerox multiple copies. Unfortunately, the copy machine was broken and needed an ink refill. I was out of luck. It was time to improvise once again. I took a few moments to gain composure then launched into the classroom empty handed. It was performance time. Luckily, I was equipped with a standard bag of tricks – conversation topics, games, back-up handouts, and group activities. There was enough material to milk out another fifty minutes of spontaneous classroom time. </p>\n<p>Standard English lessons, even ones planned in advance, are vulnerable to abrupt changes at a Korean hagwon. Students suddenly enroll in or depart from the typical private school; language skills can greatly vary and fluctuate in each room; and children are often juggled around quicker than cells of reorganizing terrorists. Therefore, a teacher must think quickly and be able to alter lessons depending on shifting student needs. Sometimes I feel like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. I nonchalantly reach into a hidden bag and pull out various tools, props, and resources to entertain them. Sometimes it works successfully and other times I race out of class afterward feeling like a bumbling fool. One day I can blow the minds of youths with a new twist on conversational skills, but the same lesson in a different class might result in spit wad fights and public wrestling. Roll the dice and see how it goes, then tweak and alter the lesson until it clicks into place. </p>\n<p>To elaborate, an increasing number of my students are from middle school and high school. However, there is no English textbook used by them. The only required material is a book written in the Korean language. I am the only native English speaker at my school, therefore the resources most favored are written in the mother tongue of Korean teachers. I am giving full range to do whatever I want with these classes, and there is no coordination with other teachers on lesson plans. My job is to persuade these students into actually practicing English with me. This task is easier said than done. At this age students often feel that games are too childish. Pubescent hormones kick in and they become self-conscious about making social blunders. They can be defiant, rebellious, and outright rude (which is my karma coming back at me since I was the same way at their age). A good chunk of time is spent on begging students to close their comic books and to stop gossiping about the latest movie stars. Many students have no desire to apply English skills to their daily lives. Sometimes they debate how all this English conversation will help them improve test scores. Many would be happy to never write a single paragraph, as long as they improve their ability to fill in the bubbles of a multiple choice examination. </p>\n<p>Preparing classroom material in this environment can be rather tricky. When possible I get them to talk about the things that are important to them – sports, music, comic books, computer games, movies, the opposite sex. However, when they refuse to speak in class I often use handouts to provoke them into dialogue. If I give them an assignment from a book they will diligently get to work, or at least cheat by copying from their neighbor, but when I coax them into uttering basic sentences they clam up – and, unfortunately, I can’t rely on the social lubrication of alcohol. For written material, I often thumb through dog-eared copies of Interchange and Side by Side, erase penciled-in answers, and resurrect these old reliable resources for use once again. I have my own personal copies of Leo Jones and Raymond Murphy textbooks for supplementary material. The other textbooks available at the school are Headway, Expressway, and Exploring English. However, to be honest, the majority of classroom time involves spontaneous efforts to cajole students into speaking. I am skilled at question and answer sessions. I can rapidly fire off open-ended questions to solicit response from teenager students. The textbooks only give me something to fall back upon. </p>\n<p>The elementary students are much easier to teach (God! I never actually thought I would ever write that). Korean children can be wild. They have short attention spans and demented minds; the long term side effects from excessive television and Starcraft computer gaming. The children can be difficult because they have so much playfulness and a surplus of energy, but sometimes a quotient of cuteness kicks in so that it balances out [see my November submission, “Dong Chims and Dried Squid”, if you want perspective about hagwon children]. These classes are easier because they have specific books to work with, and I can coordinate lesson plans with Korean teachers. Teaching is predictable because it is so linear. If they studied page #10 yesterday, I know that I will teach page #11 today, and the Korean teacher can predict without flaw that page #12 will be her resposibility. There is no leaping ahead or back tracking. The Korean teachers design the quizzes and tests. I simply review material and chip away at the textbook page by page. Occasionally, I throw out a fun activity and material that isn’t in the textbook, however the school prefers that I stick with the 1-2 pages of scheduled material every day, regardless of what is on those pages. If that lesson is a sing-a-long I’ll skip it anyway. I got to have some sense of pride and limitations. </p>\n<p>My hagwon uses the Let’s Go series. We have also adopted Fun Fun English for beginner phonics and Hip Hip Hooray for advanced elementary students. Back in 1999, we taught with the American English series, but it was dropped since the director felt that it lacked adequate pronunciation exercises. I don’t really have much say about teaching material. Basically, a book is chosen for whatever reason and I must adapt to teaching with it. It helps to be flexible. I know that some hagwons profit from selling textbooks to students, and perhaps this can be a persuasive factor in book selection, however I doubt that my director is guided by these kickbacks. She is a businesswoman, but she does have integrity and the desire to improve the English skills of our students. This desire for predictable structure, however, can be problematic. When the students finish Let’s Go One it is well established that their next book will be Let’s Go Two, and so forth. Some children grow impatient because their level is so much higher than other students, while others get bored because they have fallen so far behind. Eventually, they will have an outburst in class, so that they will be shuffled into a new group that is at a more appropriate level. </p>\n<p>Other than books, the staff room has an adequate supply of props: flashcards, board games, and art supplies. For the most part, these are leftover from previous native English speaking teachers. I bought most of the flashcards back in 1999 and they are still there today. The next few generation of expatriate teachers added board games, crayons, and paint. Sometimes I invent new games or create fresh material from these hand-me-downs. There is only one computer in the staff room, and it lacks Internet access and a functioning printer. Therefore, it can be expensive to print material from English websites or my personal computer discs at the local Internet cafe. My school does not have access to television or the Internet. The director removed these props because they caused too much fighting among children. They argued about who would operate the mouse or have access to the remote control. There are still a few stray English videos gathering dust from these previous times. The prime teaching resource used by Korean teachers are cassette tapes. There are hundreds of cassette tapes available for students to listen to recorded English phrases. I have adjusted to the tedious process of pressing the fast forward and rewind buttons until the tape is at the right place. I yearn for English lessons recorded on compact disc. I would happily convert to any religious doctrine of your choice in trade for this modern technology. Also placed on my wish list are globes, maps of Korea, overhead projectors, and bilingual dictionaries. </p>\n<p>The classroom, itself, is comprised of a white board and about a dozen chairs and tables. The topics studied are English, math, social science, Chinese calligraphy, and Korean literature. I teach anywhere from 2-12 students per class (with an average of about seven students). Pupils are aged anywhere from five to fifty years old. The majority of them are somewhere between ages 11-17. There are approximately 150 students at my school, but I only teach about 100 of them. I work between 25-30 hours per week and have never been required to work weekends or overtime. Each class period is only fifty minutes long, with a 5-10 minute break between classes. In winter the rooms can be cold, so we are given a space heater for warmth. The children open up windows anyway since they seemingly prefer to wear coats inside the room. All in all teaching is not that difficult. The day goes by quickly and my salary is high enough to make it worth it.</p>\n<p>A total of seven teachers work at my school. All of them are Korean except for myself. Three of these teachers can speak English with me, but the others are too shy to do so. Staff meetings are held in the Korean language. I seldom understand what is discussed, but that is my fault for not learning to speak Korean fluently. If I want to learn about the meetings I will talk to the director afterward. Overall, the mood is very friendly. There aren’t any office politics that directly concern me. I am an outsider who actually enjoys his personal space. It doesn’t bother me that I am somewhat excluded at staff meetings. During the breaks between classes I can still enjoy social contact with the Korean teachers. </p>\n<p>The truth is that the Korean teachers work much harder than me for a much lower salary. They are required to report to work early on Saturday morning, while I am sleeping off my hangover from the night before. They must worry about scheduling and administrative duties, while I merely focus on teaching. Sometimes they labor at janitorial work, while I seldom do anything more difficult than change the water cooler or move something heavy. I am provided with nicer housing than any of the Korean teachers. I live in a fully stocked, modern, two-bedroom apartment. It has a scenic view of a mountain range from the 15th floor. I have no roommates and will never be required to share housing. In contrast, many Korean teachers still live with their parents and struggle to make ends meet. If there is any animosity or resentment over these unbalanced work conditions it has not been reflected back at me. The Korean teachers realize that a native speaker provides a competitive edge. There are dozens of private schools in the remote area where I live. The Korean economy is in a slump, so my school needs all the help it can get. I am the only foreign teacher in the vicinity. My presence brings in a lot of business and adds to the reputation of the school. Therefore, the staff does appreciate my contributions and they also benefit by practicing English skills with me. I can help them with grammatical questions and proofread written work. </p>\n<p>The one complaint that I have is that my school has a new anti-fraternization policy among employees. The teacher that I replaced had developed a romantic relationship which created a conflict of interest at the school. The resulting tension led to a negative environment and bad feelings. This was why I was asked to return to this academy as rapidly as possible. Conflicts also developed when two Korean teachers split from the school to open up their own hagwons – taking clients with him and pressing foreign teachers into recruitment. There is fear that fraternization will lead to unproductive discussion about the size of salary or individual treatment. In result, we are not allowed to meet outside of class. The employee bond is very important to me. I enjoy mixing with Koreans as much as possible. In the past, I had dinner with Korean teachers every week or visited karaoke clubs with male teachers. I developed close friendships which made me want to stay longer. Without this contact, I have less motive to develop Korean language skills. It is more difficult to interact with locals at a deeper level, since meeting them could prevent their enrollment as students. In result of this anti-fraternization policy, my social life is almost exclusively comprised of expatiates.<br />\nFor a short time, my need to mix with Koreans was fulfilled by adult classes. I held lessons in my own home. I converted a spare bedroom into a temporary class. I put on a kettle for some tea and waited for adult students to arrive. Sometimes we did instructive activities together involving cooking lunch, dining in restaurants, and hiking across wonderful mountains. The students and I developed a close relationship. They often called me at night and we sometimes met outside of class. For a while students thrived in this environment. Unfortunately, I later learned that some of them no longer paid my school for these classes. Since lessons were in my home, students could meet without my director’s knowledge, and attend classes without me learning that I was giving freebies. One student used my material to teach her own private lessons. My director has always treated me with honesty and respect. I was not about to undercut her business with these accidental private lessons. The line was finally crossed when I was asked to record my voice on a cassette tape (which the non-paying student intended to use to make money from private lessons). I decided to draw the line. Adult students could no longer visit my home or meet outside of class. They were only allowed to attend lessons held inside the hagwon. </p>\n<p>From time to time a teacher will meet with me in secret. It is actually very constructive to talk about our students and methods together. The Korean teachers seem to be curious about westerners. Many of them want to visit the expatriate clubs, which I encourage, but they are too worried to do it. They don’t want to get into trouble or lose their jobs. I understand their reluctance. At the same time, this round of teaching is missing something vital: that strong employee bond. Without this connection I will almost certainly move elsewhere when my contract has been completed. I am thankful for what my school offers me. I am treated well and my contract has been honored without flaw by my director. However, each teacher has a special requirement before signing on for a second or third year. For me, the deciding factor is always the situation of the staff room.</p>','','2005-01-01 05:36:41',1,'2005-01-01 05:36:41','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(217,11,'Anarchy in the S.K','anarchy-in-the-sk','getting to grips with the karaoke microphone','Korean karaoke, known as “noraebang”, comes in two distinct styles.

I am not talking about language barriers or exotic cuisine; no, what I am referring to are flashing incidents that point to the reality that things are not normal. This most recent epiphany took place in a South Korean karaoke club. I was enthusiastically singing a Sex Pistols song (“Anarchy in the U.K.”), standing on a chair and dramatically slamming a tambourine against a wall, when the apple of enlightenment dropped out from the ceiling and stuck me squarely on the head. It sounded exactly like an oven timer going off, “ding”! The Sex Pistols do not play the tambourine, nor do they carefully read lyrics off a television monitor to get a higher score. The synthetic music blared without drums, guitar, or a bass line. Like a background tune in an elevator or an unobtrusive supermarket ditty, the classic Punk Rock song lulled me with its computer-programmed single keyboard melody. The microphone heavily echoed with reverb that conveniently disguised my atrocious singing. On the monitor screen – which simultaneously displayed Asian women in bikinis – incorrect and misspelled lyrics briefly scrolled down: “I am an anti-Chris / I dont know what I want / But I know how to get it / I want to destroy passer buy / I want to be an anarchy”. </p>\n<p>I was striving for a perfect hundred score. My Korean compatriots were clapping in time and singing along. A deep black-eyed host poured me another shot of rice wine (“soju”) and stuffed a few squid tentacles in my mouth during mid-chorus. I fell off my chair, choking on the dried sea-critter flesh, and scattered a dish of silk worm pupae all over the karaoke room floor. I inappropriately stomped on the insect carcasses as I sprinted into the spirit of the song. I was serenading one of the local women with my Johnny Rotten impersonation. She didn’t know it yet, but she was being seduced. I was going to melt her romantic heart with a Sex Pistols song. I inched myself closer to her mouth for the final chorus. Our faces shined with the asymmetry of our different cultures. Her face was smooth and flat; mine was way too third-dimensional with its protruding nose, two-day stubble, and bloodshot blue eyes. She smiled as she lifted another shot glass toward my “ugly American” mouth. I raised the microphone to my lips, milked at the last few sentences, and lunged for the perfect score.<br />\nKaraoke music is an intrinsic part of Korean society. Yet, it is only a recent invention. Karaoke originated in Japan in the early 1980s. The term comes from the Japanese words “karappo” (empty) and “Okesutura” (orchestra). According to popular legend, karaoke began at a snack bar in Kobe (Kansai) when a strolling musician failed to show up for a performance. The improvising owner of the establishment played tapes in substitute while the scheduled vocalist sang, and patrons joined along in amusement. The amateur style proved to be a hit. In the Orwellian year of 1984, the industry was revolutionized by the creation of the karaoke box. Japanese previously sang to cassette tapes and the radio at home gatherings, but this proved too noisy for neighbors since houses were often constructed of thin wood. An entrepreneur from the Okayana Prefecture converted an old freight car into a private singing room and history was born. In the closed door, sound-proof room people could sing as loudly and as late as they wanted. As the new craze caught on new gimmicks were incorporated. Karaoke machines played videos so that individuals could read prompted lyrics while they sang, or gaze in a state of inebriation at skimpy clad women. Many singing rooms also employed an enigmatic system that rated the talent of each singer with a scorecard. Singing groups could compete for the highest grade. The insulated singing rooms rapidly spread across Asia. By the early 1990s even the smallest Korean neighborhoods boasted a variety of karaoke clubs. </p>\n<p>Korean karaoke, known as “noraebang”, comes in two distinct styles. The first is the family-oriented singing room in which alcohol is prohibited. Entire families attempt to harmonize current pop songs together, teenagers bond over the latest romantic heartthrob’s production, and children run wild murdering Korean nursery rhymes. Needless to say, I try to render my knowledge of these family singing rooms to a scarce minimum. The second form of noraebang, of the variety where I am more likely to be found, are the ones that allows patron to drink alcohol. Like many expatriates, I am less inclined to make a fool out of myself while sober, thus recreational lubricants are a handy source to loosen up tonsils for the proper vocalization of the favorite Tom Jones, Beatles, or Frank Sinatra classics. </p>\n<p>Mostly these alcohol-friendly karaoke clubs consist of whatever late-night collection of students, locals, and expatriates that drag themselves in after night festivities. However, there is also a darker side of karaoke clubs that specialize in male patronage. Female entertainers are rented for the evening, and to my knowledge their job is to enthusiastically play the tambourine, sing pop songs, pour men beer, feed them dried squid, and to clap for male performances. Of course, some karaoke clubs are fronts for prostitution but I have never witnessed this first hand. The most intimate these female entertainers have ever been with me is an occasional slow dance and non-stop compliments of my atrocious singing. Nevertheless, Korean businessmen often take these private singing rooms very seriously. Expensive bottles of whiskey are cracked open and sometimes over $1,000 is spent during a single night. Coworkers often compete to pick up the tab, to demonstrate higher status, and important business deals are often hatched between companies as their executives sing through the night. My presence has often been requested at this variety of karaoke club, however I am out of my element in the business underworld. I am an English teacher, therefore I mostly hear stories secondhand from their wives who complain during hagwon lessons that their husbands didn’t come back home until 4:00 AM.</p>\n<p>Korean culture thrives on its singing. Whenever a group of Koreans get together you can predict that they will break into some form of song, and if soju is consumed it will be inevitably soon. The environment is rather encouraging and talent is not a pre-requisite. Even the worse of singers are prodded into multiple numbers. There are plenty of songs and types of music to choose from. A typical noraebang is equipped with a thick book full of song selections in multiple languages. Individuals take turn picking their favorites to sing in front of other guests. Korean vocal music ranges from traditional pansori (epics that last several hours long); syrupy, ballad-laden, country music (by post-Korean War celebrities such as Na-Hoon-na and Nam-jin); and a variety of western-imitator pop bands – who often display a disturbing fondness for bad English acronyms (H.O.T., S.E.S, G.O.D., BoA.).<br />\nThe modern youth music, known as K-Pop, is uninhibited by western concepts such as artistic integrity. The high-gloss performers often lip-synch in concert, appear on silly television shows, and blatantly endorse products in advertisement campaigns. The Korean music industry is unhindered by the western idea that payola is somehow dishonest. The corporate star-making industry has repeatedly been caught paying bribes in trade of guest spots on television or radio programs. K-Pop has the metallic taste of industrialization. Performers are corporate assembled commodities. Singers often have little say in writing music or choosing the uniforms they dress in on stage. Manufactured boy band singers have even been prevented from having girlfriends in order to preserve the wholesome boy-next-door image. Simply put, K-Pop is corporate produced music in a can; just add water and you have an instant synthetic one-hit wonder band with a shelf life of about one year. Therefore, it is not a great leap for Koreans to embrace karaoke. The instrument rejecting, computer-programmed, artificial style is only one step away from what Korean youths listen to everyday. Karaoke reflects the post-modern reality that anybody can be defined a star – even if it is only for one evening at an insulated local singing room.</p>\n<p>Karaoke has taken Korea by storm and its success is enjoyed by those adults that study at universities and hagwons. Korean students tend to be brilliant singers. Many ESL teachers have been coaxed into a singing room to hear student renditions of painful choices such as Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, and Westlife. The English lyrics are displayed by video monitor while the student practices pronunciation. Many adults have claimed that karaoke improves their literacy rate and foreign language use. Even the most shy student in the ESL classroom seems to open up once they hit the karaoke club. I have often been surprised by students who deliver a song in impeccable English, even though they stumble with basic sentences inside of class. Even some of the most naughty Korean school children snap into shape when given the opportunity to sing during class. The trick is to persuade locals to select Beatles or Rage in the Machine songs instead of the usual choice of soft fluffy western boy bands.</p>\n<p>The expatriates in Korea seem to have a love/hate relationship with karaoke music. In the west it is usually sung to a large audience at a nightclub. Singers take turns performing on stage while they are either awarded with applause or slammed by hecklers. Most expatriates mock it profusely. However, a strange transformation takes place after a large supply of booze has been added to the mix. It is not unusual for a dozen expatriates to stagger into a private singing room at 2:00 AM after some well-timed coaxing. There are old western traditions, such as the Irish ceilidh, in which a community gathers around a fire to tell stories or to share music together. If enough alcohol has been added the nostalgic tendency kicks in for shameful sing-a-longs. It can be intensely wonderful to hear a dozen expatriates shouting the chorus of a Nirvana or Bob Marley song together. Some of us are even very professional singers. Karaoke clubs have become user-friendly for western visitors. When I first came to Korea, in 1999, the catalogue of western songs were usually less than 4-5 pages (and the selection was mostly comprised of soft ballads, lounge crooners, and hippie classics). Today the catalogues are thick with western music from all genres. You can sing everything from Willie Nelson to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Expatriates are discovering a fondness for karaoke even though they might deny this while sober.</p>\n<p>In Kumi City it is common for both Koreans and expatriates to crawl into a late night karaoke club together. However, we are sometimes rejected if there are members of the U.S. military with us. They have a reputation for fighting and making unwanted sexual advances toward female hosts. Therefore, soldiers are sometimes banned from admission. A military base is located in the nearby city of Waogwon and soldiers often visit Kumi on weekend excursions. The expatriate bar scene remains somewhat segregated. English teachers and foreign engineers congregate at the Psycho nightclub while soldier gravitate down the street at the S-Bar. As a typical Friday night progresses the expatriate communities begins to overlap, and those still surviving the alcohol-saturated evening tend to pool together at the end. A few weeks ago, a group of us drifted into a karaoke club. The manager refused to allow a soldier to join us. He was scheduled to depart for Iraq the following week (about a third of the troops in Korea are being redeployed to the Mid-East). The local Koreans and ESL teachers refused to budge. There isn’t exactly a lot of love lost by ESL teachers –the large majority being Canadian – over the absence of American troops, however this expatriate soldier was one of us. We had to stand our ground and defend him. The soldier was allowed inside after triumphant debate. I still visualize how deeply the soldier sang his songs of soul music.<br />\nWhile I tortured the Sex Pistols in front of an audience of shocked and bemused Koreans, I realized that there was an East-meets-West fusion. My gritty Punk Rock past overlapped with the soft mediocre world of Korean music. There was an odd surrealism that felt right. I was reminded of the western equivalent known as Muzak. In the 1920s, an U.S. corporation trademarked this form of unobtrusive background music that was designed to uplift factory workers and increase production. It took its name by combining the words “music” and “Kodak”. Eventually, the company employed Satan as its CEO who promptly discovered a means to inject subliminal messages into the music. The bellowing Beelzebub then possessed full power to brainwash listeners into buying shit that they didn’t need – and into voting for George W. Bush for that matter (but, that is a different story). Today, Muzak can be heard filtering into people’s brains across American shopping malls, elevators, and grocery stores. This is why, if you stand too close to some Americans, you can hear crackling static sizzle between their ears. Feeling uplifted in Korea, I was surprised to find Sex Pistols in karaoke edition. I warmly embraced my watered-down musical past. Sid Vicious is dead and Johnny Rotten never could sing anyway. It was time to make productive use of these dinosaurs. Burning up my 15 minutes of fame, I exploited their distorted music to get laid in South Korea.</p>\n<p>I nihilistically lunged for the highest score. The South Korean karaoke room was in a state of anarchy. My dress shirt was wet with sweat and my tie crumpled into a pocket. Soju dripped down my chin and dried squid was caught between my teeth. I growled from the most animalistic center of my primal soul, “I want to be an anarchist / get pissed / destroy!”. In the final burst of energy glasses tipped over on the table and bottles shattered – sending to the floor dregs of cigarettes and lukewarm beer. My patient audience clapped in amusement and demanded encore. A perfect 100 score flashed onto the monitor screen. I had mastered karaoke and turned it into my slave. It was a true conquest. I then turned my attention to the pretty women by my side. It was time to reap the rewards of my seduction. She was busy already, however, microphone in hand, she positioned herself for her next song. I slumped into the corner of the karaoke booth. Through the heavy reverb originating from karaoke box, I could here the start of an ABBA song. </p>','','2004-12-01 05:41:14',1,'2004-12-01 05:41:14','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(218,11,'Dong chims and dried squid','dong-chims-and-dried-squid','Changes in Korean education','Education in Korea has rapidly changed in recent years. Up until the end of the Yi dynasty (1392-1910) Korean education was heavily influenced by Chinese practice. Only a few privileged children were allowed to enter elementary school to study Confucianism, Chinese language, and literature. At age 15-16 elitist students attended secondary school. Graduation entitled them to sit for a crucial lower level civil service examination. ','<p>The classroom reeked of rotten fish. Mischievous children scampered under the table to chew on dried squid. My arms waved toward them in a flurry to whirl them out from their hiding place. Meanwhile, a young rascal clutched at my new tie with the syrupy fingers of melted candy. A second urchin climbed on my back for a pony ride, and a third swiped marker pens from my pocket so that she could draw human droppings on the whiteboard. The rest of the class frolicked around the room, either fighting with simulated Tae Kwon Do kicks or gambling by noisily slapping plastic Maple Stories figurines on the floor – the winner of the game took the other player’s toys. Needles to say, I was rather distracted.</p>\n<p>It was a classic Hagwan moment.  It was a time to wonder why I ever left my Thai college in the first place, and to yearn for the joyful ability to converse with adult students. As I bent over, pawing at children’s feet to pull them out from under the table, I overheard a child’s voice snickering from behind me. Glimpsing, from that special teacher’s eye that is located in the back of my head, I spied the prank that the little minx was planning. His hands were poised in the Thai Wai position, hands and palms pressed together at chin level, but the intended gesture wasn’t one of respect and reverence. The impish devil was positioning himself for an infamous dong chim strike. “Dong chim” is a Korean phrase that refers to splitting something apart by stabbing. The desired target of this childish prank is the underside of a vulnerable victim’s rear end. In other words, a dong chim strike attempts to part buttocks like the Biblical Red Sea. There was one split second to respond before the demented little bugger’s hands shot at me  – action and reaction – my nemesis and I made our best move …..</p>\n<p>Education in Korea has rapidly changed in recent years. Up until the end of the Yi dynasty (1392-1910) Korean education was heavily influenced by Chinese practice. Only a few privileged children were allowed to enter elementary school to study Confucianism, Chinese language, and literature. At age 15-16 elitist students attended secondary school. Graduation entitled them to sit for a crucial lower level civil service examination. The final test score determined the future life and vocation of the student. The highest grade allowed one to sit for an enrollment exam at the prestigious  Songgyun’gwan National University. The next tiers were accepted at four lower level colleges located in Seoul (haktang), district institutions (hyanggyo), or at local village schools known as sodangs. Educational rights were reserved for a hereditary aristocracy known as the yangban. Women were not allowed to attend school although some were privately taught at home by family members. Lower classes were, for the most part, denied education. A rare few were allowed training in technical fields and foreign languages – which the yangban viewed as beneath them. Some lower classes were also admitted into the military if they could prove their skills. Those not belonging to the aristocracy formed a small but emerging middle class known as Chungin. The classroom facilities were minimal: students sat on the floor obediently while they were sternly lectured by a teacher. Education involved memorization of manuscripts with little opportunity for creative thought. Discipline was strict and physical punishment common. </p>\n<p>A small educational renaissance, known as Silhak, reluctantly spread across Korean which stressed practical learning instead of the staunch teaching style of Confucianism. However, more significantly, western nations successfully pressured their way into to Korea. In 1882, Korea signed its first diplomatic treaty with the United States. Soon afterward, western missionaries filtered into the isolated Hermit Kingdom. A modern school was established in Wonsan in 1883, two missionary schools for boys were created in 1885 by American religious zealots, and the first girls school was developed in 1886 by an American female missionary – later to evolve into the highly regarded Ewha University. These schools brought Christianity to the Korean population, and for the first time commoners and women were allowed access to education. </p>\n<p>The intervention of westerners disrupted Korean social order. Confucian ideals stressed the importance of gender separation and class differences, but as Christianity took root old customs were placed into question. The hereditary privileges of the yangban class were threatened. Suddenly, education was provided by religious missionaries and western trade created wealth among commoners. There were many attempts by Korean elites to restrict the spread of Christianity and to halt merchant activity by foreign nations. Korea tried to maintain its isolationist policy. The endeavor to protect its traditional lifestyle was bound to fail. In the same period the British aggressively moved toward China, Russians crept beyond Korea’s northern border, and the French and Americans competed for influence within the country. Korea was thrust against its will into the modern age. The Yi dynasty would finally come to its end, along with the former educational system, after Japan invaded and occupied Korea. </p>\n<p>Japan formally annexed Korea by treaty in 1910 and independence would not come until 1945. In the meantime, colonial Japan threw out the old examination system, shifted study topics away from Confucianism, and disregarded old class distinctions. Japan controlled all newspapers, arrested pro-Korean teachers, and shut down schools. Education became a tool to spread propaganda and surpass Korean nationalism. Misbehavior in a classroom was punished severely. The goal was to produce loyal and obedient subjects. Many Koreans refused to learn the Japanese language as a form of passive resistance, but the reality was that the old elitist education system that favored the yangban class had come to an end. In 1919, a Japanese Governor-General, Saito Makoto, arrived in Seoul to pursue reforms. He planned to increase the number of primary and secondary schools in Korea, as well as make schools more accessible to girls. On arrival Korean nationalists (and religious leaders) tried to assassinate him at the Seoul rail station. Undaunted, Saito Makoto established the new Education Ordinance in 1920 which allowed the reopening of several colleges. Under his jurisdiction the number of students greatly increased, both male and female, and a few private schools were permitted. However, college enrollment still favored Japanese students and restricted Korean access to those most loyal to the colonists. Japan ruled Korea ruthlessly and this fact remains a source of resentment, but one indirect outcome of colonization was that education became available to commoners from both genders. The academic genie was out of the bottle, the fire of knowledge had been stolen, and Pandora bust open the jar that encased education.  </p>\n<p>After independence was won Korea enacted the Education law in 1949 to make elementary level education compulsory for children aged 6-11. Provincial universities were established. However, the Korean War (1950-1953) abruptly put an end to this progress. Korea was partitioned into two halves at its 38th parallel. In the north all private schools were abolished and education became a means to train youth in communist ideology. South Korea established its educational system after the United States – which contributed large funds for development. In 1968, the Charter for National Education defined the following three goals: 1) to construct a spiritual base to regenerate the nation; 2) to create a new image of Korean people; and 3) to promote knowledge of national history. In the 1970s, South Koreans adopted a standard school uniform that was comprised of a beanie cap, a blue vest, white shirt, blue short pants, and white ankle socks. Nearly all students had began to attend secondary school, as resources were developed, and private schools became commonplace. A system of examinations was reinstalled, so family expenditure on private cram schools rapidly increased to improve a child’s placement into better schools. The precursor to the modern Korean-style hagwon was born. </p>\n<p>In 1980, the military dictator, Chun Doo-hwan (1980-1988), took office in a bloody coup after President Park Chung-hee was assassinated by the director of the Korean CIA. The military leader made drastic alterations to the Korean constitution, which angered university students (who hold a solid tradition of political protest) and an organized rebellion burst out in Kwangju. The Chun Doo-hwan administration promptly massacred up to 2,000 student who demonstrated for democratic reforms. The troops used to pulverize the Kwangju rebellion were under the command of General Rho Tae-woo (who eventually replaced Chun Doo-hwan as president). One democratic rights leader, Kim Dae-jung, was sentenced to death for his role in the uprising. Chun Doo-hwan next turned against the private learning schools. He believed that he would build popular support for his coup-inspired government, if he appealed to the commoners who complained that hagwons were only affordable for affluent families.</p>\n<p> Chun Doo-hwan outlawed cramming schools and private tuition. Students could get dismissed from a school if they hired a private tutor, and teachers could get fired or arrested if they taught pupils on the side. Even some foreign nationals were expunged from South Korea for the crime of private teaching. Exactly one century after westerners first opened private schools in Korea, their modern counterparts were pressured into shutting down. Despite these Draconian measures the anti-hagwon policy was bound to fail. The illegal nature of private schools actually drove up the price of risky private lessons so that only the rich could afford them. Public pressure made government officials cave in, and by 1989 the private schools were re-approved. Hagwons were back on the table after one decade of “official” absence. Both Chun Doo-hwan and Rho Tae-woo were eventually indicted for corruption charges in the mid-1990s and sentenced to imprisonment. Ironically, they were pardoned in a mood for reconciliation by President Kim Dae-jung – the former democratic leader who had once been sentenced to death by these military dictatorships. </p>\n<p>The 1990s was a new era of democracy and unity. Hagwans began to prosper as students struggled to achieve high marks on a crucial high school examination. The future life and vocation of a student is determined by the final score. Pressure is so great that suicide is commonplace among those sitting for exam. Local folklore dictates that this crucial examination always occurs on the coldest day of the year. Parents often enroll children into private schools at a young age to get a head start. These private learning schools prepare students for a curriculum of math, social science, Korean language, Chinese calligraphy, and English (the later is now taught in government schools from grade three). The globalization of the English language made it important to demonstrate English skills on the exam. The dilemma is that the English portion of the test is in multiple choice questions, so Koreans are less focused on speaking and writing skills. Students are trained in test taking rather than practical English for practical communication. Thus, a great demand was created to bring foreign nationals into the former Hermit Kingdom for teaching. The 1990s became the great boom period for private learning schools in South Korea. </p>\n<p>It is often argued that only affluent families can afford hagwon tuition, so economic class is still an dividing variable, but even middle class families are willing to make the financial sacrifice to benefit their child’s future. Perhaps the greatest change in education is the mass enrollment of females. A large percentage of hagwon students are girls. Likewise, high schools are available to all women, although gender segregation is still normal practice. The majority of high schools separate girls from boys. For both genders uniforms are standard apparel. Luckily, the beanie caps have been discarded and student wear is much more – well – rewarding to the eye. The literacy rate in South Korea is now at 98%, which is one of the highest in the industrialized world. Private learning schools became an intrinsic component of Korean culture and family life. By 2003, it was estimated that there were nearly 25,000 hagwons in Korea – and  this statistic doesn’t even include the non-official schools, home teaching, or the private tutors that abound. </p>\n<p>The surging population of western teachers in South Korea have an impact on education. We make a difference in the lives of students. English adds a global perspective for Korean youth. The ungrateful kids are lucky to have this opportunity to study at a hagwon considering Korea’s problematic history. Still, as an experienced teacher I know better than to trust a young student that is laughing while crouched behind me. As I bent over, I gleamed the smiling Korean ragamuffin in position for a dong chim strike, and I thought about my contributions to Korean education.</p>\n<p>… I made my move. I whipped around with one hand and clutched at his fingers in mid-strike. I slowly bent his tiny phalanges to the side so that the student rolled onto his back on the ground. I silently paused for dramatic effect. While the amused children watched in anticipation, I rolled up a worn copy of the Let’s Go text book series and lightly smacked him across the head like he was a naughty puppy. The class burst out laughing, which made the mischievous child start to cry. With this action, I tricked the young whippersnappers into crawling out from under the table to enjoy the show. While they were preoccupied with laughter I snatched the squid from their hands quicker than the strike of a cobra. I lectured the stunned youth, “If you don’t do your work book, you will never see your squid again”. To prove that I meant business, I tossed one skinny tentacle into my mouth. As I tantalized them by slowly chewing the dried flesh I taunted, “Your squid in mine. Now open your books”. The next sound was a flutter of flipping pages and the pattering of palms to pencils. The golden silence that followed was only broken by the sound of students speaking in English syntax.</p>','','2004-11-01 05:44:56',1,'2004-11-01 05:44:56','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(219,11,'First impressions','first-impressions','Korea\'s EFL roots','If you scratch the surface of many English teachers in Thailand, underneath all that fine polish of discount dress shirts and shiny veneer of silk ties, you can often glimpse a trace of Korea.

English teachers have either sacrificed their prized cherry of lecturing in a dusty classroom floor of a Korean hogwan, or they are fleeing to the country from Thailand to refill depleted bank accounts with a 2.1 million Won monthly salary. There is a distinct connection between the two countries. Like soil being tilled in early spring - mixing up lumps of clay, rotting debris, and earth worms – there is an observable churning of English teachers across Asia every year. Korea supplies a valuable foothold as foreign teacher leapfrog between being bored, broke, and bewildered. There is a shuffling between Asian countries as English teachers move in every direction. For some the crucial decision is Korea or Thailand? – a step down or up, depending on which way your world spins. I have heard dismal jokes that it all melts down to one choice: prospering in purgatory OR impoverishment in paradise. However, to understand this distinct connection between Korea and Thailand you must scratch even deeper than the cult of teacherhood. Dig, my child, into the fertile soil of education and submerge yourself into history –  the answer rests in the recent rise of western ESL teachers in Asia. </p>\n<p>Prior to World War Two the number of English teachers living in Asia was rather small. There existed small groups comprised of adventurous “cowboys” with no teaching experience, missionaries trying to win bonus points with God through religious conversions, wayward soldiers that never returned home, and traders who tired of doing business with make-shift hand signals and speaking in mono-syllable cave man language. The Asian countries that truly started to learn English first were British colonies (India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, etc.). The Americans had their clutches on the Philippines, so English took a foothold in that country, too. After these former colonies won independence following World War Two the sphere of western influence was placed into doubt. Civil Wars broke out across Asia: China (1946-1950), Korea (1950-1953), and Vietnam (1956-1975), as well as violent conflicts in Cambodia, Lao, and Myanmar. During the Cold War it became evident that the shared language of English would be useful to build alliances and to hinder the spread of Communism. There was a strong need for English teachers, but the conditions of travel were inconducive to crossing the globe for teaching jobs. Air travel overseas was still in its incubation period and it took months for westerners to arrive to Asia by ship. Finding a teaching job in advance also presented problems. Either people found employment through governmental or religious affiliation or they rolled the dice and accepted the risk of going to Asia to shake up a job after arrival. Qualified or not, these cowboys attempted to find work, and often found it, after traveling across Asia.  Native English speakers were a scarce resource; a rare novelty without much teaching competition. </p>\n<p>The Cold War continued as Communism spread. China, North Korea, Lao, Cambodia, and Vietnam eventually fell to Communism and closed their doors to western imperialists. Racial riots broke out across Malaysia – which ultimately led to Singapore’s withdrawal from the union in 1969. Korea and Thailand both had military dictatorships that created unsafe environments for foreign teachers. The United States persisted with its Marshall Plan which provided economic aid for allied countries. Thailand used a significant portion of its financial aid to develop an infrastructure of roads and a rail system, while Korea concentrated on industrialization. During the 1960s and 1970s, a small number of volunteer teachers and NGOs started to trickle into Asia that provided English teachers as a program component. Third world development organizations, such as Peace Corp, included English teachers as a tool to encourage future trade and economic growth. If you read novels by late writers such as Graham Greene or William Lederer you can catch an odd glimpse of an English teacher farting on a barstool among diplomats, soldiers, and businessmen. All in all, this is not such a radically unusual sight in Asia today. The main difference is that in modern times it is large scale. Where did all the new ajarns, senseis, and songsaengnims come from? </p>\n<p>The great boom in ESL teaching really started in the early 1980s when Japan’s economy increased at an unprecedented rate. Japanese factories and industries rose to the forefront of the global economy with its production of electronic and automotive goods. However, one major obstacle in doing business was the inability to communicate with a common language. In 1987, the Japanese Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) was created to supply its schools and companies with English teachers, and today the program now boasts of hosting over 6,000 active participants. English teachers had an incentive to fill positions at Japanese elementary schools and business corporations. The Japanese Yen was very strong and foreign teachers could earn sizable salaries. Because of the decent pay Japan could afford to avoid hiring “cowboy” teachers and to insist on solid qualifications. Thus, the schism became more pronounced between ESL teachers with degrees and teaching certificates, and the odd traveler who happens to show up in the country to parley their native tongue into a job. Of course, there were many loopholes, but an entire ESL industry was emerging that advocated training and education as a condition of employment.</p>\n<p>During the 1980s there were also two significant changes that caused English teachers to multiple across Asia. One is that innovations in jet travel, developed earlier in the 1970s, made it more affordable to quickly venture overseas and find work as an English teacher. One could fly from the United States to Asia in less than one day. Secondly, the creation of the Internet also made it possible to communicate by e-mail with employers abroad, to post resumes on-line, and to obtain information from a school’s website. English teachers who were deterred from going abroad could now reduce potential risks by doing background research in advance. Teachers could swap advice, warn each other about dishonest schools, and find replacements. It can be argued that the impact of the Internet on English teaching remained in incubation until the 1990s because few individuals had access to it, however the infrastructure was taking shape. Teachers and schools experimented with the Internet’s potential. Websites such as the popular www.eslcafe.com (not actually created until 1995) and www.ajarn.com allowed teachers to find and post job-related advertisements. The barriers of travel time and the inability to communicate with employers abroad melted away.</p>\n<p> Coinciding with Japan’s economic boom were the rising economies of the four Asian tigers: Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. It was widely believed that the competitive edge in trade depended on advancing English skills. Hong Kong and Singapore already had a historical background with English because they had been British colonies. It is my impression that a significant number of English teachers from the Commonwealth continued to teach in the former properties. However, a rare breed of English teacher also branched out to chance other Asian countries. At the same time when a Thai barstool became a twinkle in Bangkok Phil’s eye, 1989, a new wave of English lecturers were spreading outside of Japan, forming unique teaching communities of expatriates. English teachers created support networks and established places to share each other’s company throughout Asia. Taiwan and South Korea took precautions not to be left behind. Korea became fully wired, and the Internet was promply incorporated for massive recruitment. By the mid-1990s, Korea emerged as a  hot spot for English teachers. </p>\n<p>Prior to World War Two, South Korea had an agriculture based economy, and only traded with the west to a limited degree. South Korea rapidly industrialized under the military dictatorship of Park Chung Hee and the United States became an important market for the goods that Korea produced. English became even more important for global trade. To a degree, Koreans had an eye on their Japanese neighbors. The nation that had repeatedly colonized them, and had sexually abused their women during wartime, was in a position of regional dominance once again. It was a matter of national Korean pride to create a highly educated population who were advanced in both technology and industry – one that would not be overshadowed by Japan. Proficiency in English was a major goal among Korean employers and families. Companies often considered TOEIC or TOEFL scores as a condition of promotion, and Korean high schools expected students to demonstrate English ability at final examinations. In response to this demand private schools, called “Hagwans”, proliferated during the 1990s. Children were enrolled in extra classes, often spending as much as ten hours a day studying. A highly competitive system of recruitment agencies was created both in Korea and abroad – concentrating on recent university graduates. Recruiting was a lucrative business, as was also the management of a Hagwan. South Korea motivated teachers to sign contracts by providing reasonable salaries and housing – the later was not often provided by schools in Japan and Taiwan. The Korean government refused to issue work permits to non-qualified teachers, so teachers without degrees and/or certificates had to go elsewhere for work (such as Southeast Asia). Korea’s economy surged in the early 1990s, until Asia’s financial crisis in 1997, but even then the infrastructure that found and hired English teachers remained strong. </p>\n<p>Thailand, being located in SE Asia, seems to have missed the industrial wave caught by its northern neighbors. After World War Two, Thailand used financial aid from the Marshall plan to build an infrastructure of highways and a rail system – ultimately fueling its tourism industry. During the 1970s, while other Asian countries were developing manufacturing factories, Thailand was undergoing changes related to the Vietnam War. The country was the location of several U.S. military bases, and the center for soldiers on R&R leave. Hotels, souvenir shops, restaurants, and tuk-tuk drivers popped up to quickly profit from this demand. Red light districts were also an inevitable source of revenue. There was a massive migration to Bangkok and Chiang Mai from rural areas. People moved to cities to find work in the tourism industry – in the process learning a pigeon type of English to communicate with tourists and soldiers. Jet travel allowed many westerners to visit Thailand, and soon tourist ghettos began to form (Sukumvit, Soi Ngam Duphli, Khaosan Road). The English needs of the local community was highly concentrated around tourism. With the slow rate of industrialization, Thailand remained a poor country that could only offer low salaries. </p>\n<p>Many early English teachers came to Thailand as tourists and taught as a means to supplement travel. Local schools felt lucky enough to find a rare teacher that they often downplayed the need to show proof of an university degree or teaching certificate. The spirit of the “cowboy” teacher continued in Thailand. Unlike in Korea, there wasn’t strong pressure for Thai students to learn fluent English at government schools. The family’s honor did not depend on children finding a high ranking management position at a powerful corporation. A simple job that allowed workers to contribute to the family income was suffice. Of course, there are many exceptions, but my point is that Thailand’s English needs evolved differently than in Korea. Even today, Thailand lacks the same scale of private language schools and recruiting agencies. Even with websites, such as www.ajarn.com, teachers must find work after arriving in country since they can seldom obtain jobs in advance. The selection pools of teachers is therefore limited. For this reason, Thailand remains vulnerable to unqualified cowboys who seek adventure. The recruitment pool is not of recent college graduates, but of those westerners who happen to reside in country for whatever reason. </p>\n<p>Korea’s tourism industry, in contrast, never really kicked in to the same degree as Thailand. South Korea could not be reached by land. China and North Korea were Communist and more or less closed to westerners. Until recently, travelers had to take a boat to Korea from Japan of fly there from Hong Kong or Singapore. Despite all the “Hagwans” it can be difficult for tourists to find their way around Korea. Many hotels, transportation, and restaurant employees lack even basic English skills. An English menu is difficult to find even in major cities and ATM machines are still often only in Korea script. In this environment it was impossible for tourist ghettos to form (outside Itaewon) like in Thailand. English teachers can not easily enter or depart Korea; making it difficult to work as a tourist or to stay longer than your visa allows. It is much more expensive to fly out of Korea and back on a visa run. Therefore, the chance of working illegally is reduced. Since tourist contact was also limited in Korea, the style of English learned did not focus on conversational dialogue – instead business phrases and test taking skills were stressed most. Native English teachers often form Koreans’ first bonds with westerners. We can be a novelty. It is not at all uncommon to have fleets of children chase after a foreigner teacher shouting “Mi gook, Mi gook”. Thailand, on the other hand, has been mixing with foreigners much longer. It surprises few Thai children to see a foreign teacher or tourist. </p>\n<p>The Korean version of a cowboy teacher is not the adventurous traveler or cash-strapped tourist. The “cowboys” of Korea tend to be naïve college graduates who go abroad for the first time. They can’t handle the culture shock or they get easily homesick. Instead, of learning to become well-skilled teachers many of them flee Korea in secretive “midnight runs” or waste their days drinking in bars with other expatriates. They might have earned college degrees, but teaching skills are at a minimum. For many of these cowboys teaching is just a job, or maybe a springboard for youths to save money during hard times at home. When I observe the teachers in Korea I notice that the average age seems to be younger than the teachers in Thailand.  It is still rare for teachers to reside in Korea for a decade or more, although there are exceptions. In contrast, in Thailand many English teachers marry local women and raise families. Teachers retire in the country with savings that can last a long time, since Thailand’s economy is weak and the exchange rate favorable. Thailand is also a very beautiful and exotic country to settled down in. It is understandable that so many English teachers in Korea eventually find their way to Thailand, maybe they visit on vacation and fall in love with the place (like I did). But, as Thailand’s visa requirements become increasingly hostile to foreign teachers there might be a migration of English teachers back into Korea. After all, the basic salary is more than four times what a teacher makes in Thailand.</p>\n<p>As Asia moves beyond the year 2000 there are seeds of change. English teacher continue to be churned under Asian soil, sprouting in new locations and sending down solid roots. Formerly communist countries such as China, Vietnam, and Lao are opening their doors to westerners.  The demand for English teachers remains strong. China is the hot teaching destination of the future. They offer competitive salaries and their economy is a future powerhouse to contend with. It is rapidly industrializing like Korea did forty years ago. In SEA Vietnam, Lao, and Cambodia are becoming prime tourist destinations. Each also has the potential for industrialization. Will English teachers leave Thailand or Korea one day for opportunities in these emerging economies? Will websites such as www.ajarn.com inspire a new fleet of English teachers to migrate to Thailand instead; or to Cambodia or Indonesia which now host equivalent websites (but, not nearly as good). We can only wait and see – or go abroad ourselves to test emerging markets. The “cowboy” teachers may be the first to arrive, but ESL professionals and new university graduates will surely follow. The ESL industry thrives and grows in new directions. English has been planted.</p>\n<p>Gumi City (South Korea)</p>\n<p>Ten minutes away from my Korean home lurks an anti-western monument that was erected in 1871. The Cheokwabi monument reads: “Western barbarians invade our land. If we do not fight, we must then appease them. To urge appeasement is to betray the nation”. The anti-western sentiment was provoked by specific events. Korea took note of the occupation of Peking in 1860 by Franco-British forces, as well as the earlier Opium Wars (1839-1842). Russian war ships appeared on its coast in 1865, and in 1866 the French sent a detachment of troops to Kanghwa Island in response to the persecution of Catholics. The United States, in 1871, sent a fleet to battle on Kanghwa Island in retaliation for the loss of a merchant ship, the General Sherman, which sailed without permission up the Taedong River (now located in North Korea). Koreans attacked the merchant ship, burned and sunk it, then killed its crew – who allegedly treated the locals with disrespect. Moreover, Japan continued to lurk nearby ready to invade and colonize. Thus, is the story of how the former “Hermit Kingdom” was thrust out of isolation into a new age. The barbarians had invaded. For better or worse, the new foreign army is that of English teachers. Armed with recycled textbooks and the dog-ear pages of dictionaries, we continue to mark our place in Korean history.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the year 2004. Directly across the street from the Cheokwabi anti-western monument is a major industrial complex. It is only one of the four in Gumi City. Before his assassination, the military dictator, Park Chung Hee, enforced factory construction in Gumi – to no surprise the city he developed was his home town. A mountain exists nearby to which locals claim bear a likeness to the late leader, including a pockmark where the bullet entered his face. The city where I now teach is known as the “Silicon Valley” of Korea. It produces Korea’s electronic goods, communication equipment, textiles, and semi-conductors. It is more recently famous for its innovative development of LCDs. Western countries are now major trading partners and factory employees struggle to learn English for job promotion. Thousands of Korean children spend as many as six days per week at private schools known as “Hagwons”. These schools have earned an infamous reputation on countless web sites and travel blogs. Hagwons are a rite of passage for many teachers. New recruits often bust their chops with improvised English lessons in classrooms that lack teaching material. Those not broken down by the ceaseless energy of young Korean children are often defeated by ruthless directors that pressure them into extra shifts. The survivors of this cryptic fire become hardened veterans that either reside in Korea longer or move on to a new country to apply their recently acquired teaching skills. After surviving a personal maze of unemployment in the United States, I returned to Gumi without hesitation for a second round of teaching. The anti-western sentiment is fading, but survives in dormancy. Every now and then there is a sporadic outburst or organized protest. However, Korea now welcomes western trade and English teachers like never before.</p>\n<p>The first time I worked in Gumi was in 1999 and 2000. I had previously taught in the United States and Eastern Europe. Like most teachers I was motivated by the Korean teaching salary. I found my job on the Internet through the eslcafe website. I blindly signed a contract and traveled to Korea without a clue about the city of Gumi. I knew that it had a beautiful mountain and a polluted river and that was about it. I arrived in Asia with less than $500 in my pocket (unable to save any more money with my Hungarian teaching salary). For the first time I was willing to teach elementary school children rather than students at the college level. Naturally, the Korean kids wore me down in my first six months. I exhausted every teaching technique in my book and resorted to cheap magician tricks, hand-made board games, and sing-a-longs. During my last few weeks I was desperate enough to break out the sock puppets. Oddly, the children loved me. I worked in a remote part of Gumi City – Okgye Dong (pronounced O.K. Dong) – that was covered with rice paddies. I was the first and only foreign teacher that lived in my province. It was months before I met another westerner. Massive gangs of Korean children would follow me to class and joke about the big-nosed teacher with strange blue eyes. They would block my path so they could play with my arm hair and taunt me with phrases such as, “Hello, how are you? I am fine, thank you, and you?”. Luckily, I was hired by a honest director, who honored our contract and treated me to many complimentary dinners. Thus, in 2004, I finally accepted the opportunity to return after teaching two years in Thailand, touring India, and suffering recession-related unemployment in my homeland.</p>\n<p>Hippocrates wrote that you can not step into the same river twice. The truth is that the Gumi city that I returned to after four years was not the same as when I left. It had become HUGE and the population surged during my absence. The rice paddies were all gone. A fourth industrial complex was built on the site. An entire mountain was cleared away to create more space. Residential homes were bought and enormous 15-story aparment buildings stood in their place. When I first lived in this section of Gumi there were only a handful of restaurants in the area and no hotels. Now there exists an entire main street with dozens of nightclubs, eating establishments, and places to spent the night. In 2000 my school was the only hagwan in the area; now there are at least 9-10. The saturation of new hagwans has actually caused a small crisis, since competition is so strong that profits are down. All my former students had since relocated or transferred to a different hagwan. There was nobody for me to surprise with a visit. Virtually zero expatriate teachers remained from my past. To be fair, I never expected the song to remain the same, but I wrongly believed that I could still find blasts from the past. The palimpsest that I stepped onto was an entirely different city. The students were gone, the teachers were gone, and entire areas flattened and rebuilt. When I finally resettled into my old home of four years ago I was pleased to discover one lone survivor from my past – a single tea cup that I had purchased from a local artist. It had since passed through the fingertips of four new rounds of English teachers; circling back to me once again. I filled the chalice with green tea and thought about continuity. Had all my energy and efforts vanished into non-significance? Did my teaching have any lasting impact?</p>\n<p>I struck out to find the western voice. I was curious to learn how Gumi went from point “A” to point “B”. The easiest way to find expatriate teachers is to head to the local watering hole. I ventured to two old bars called the “Hardcore” and the “Extra”. For me this journey was an one hour bus ride to Gumi’s central business district. In earlier days, these two clubs were hot spots for teachers to meet every Friday and Saturday night. In my book, Road Rash: Western Tourists and Expatriates in Asia’s Global Village (published by Thailand’s Post Books), I analyzed the dynamics of expatriate teachers at the local bar scene. I fancied rebooting myself to the environment that had given me so much drunken pleasure, wild sexual encounters, and severe morning hangovers. However, the Hardcore was no longer in existence and the Extra had been remodeled and was nearly empty. What happened in Gumi was that the population of English teachers had gotten so huge that it began to fragment into cliques. Some hagwans employed so many teachers now that they established their own cliques and bars to meet. Expatriates formed groups limited to their own nationalities. The small, tight, community of teachers that I had known split into multiple cells. All the passion that was exchanged at these bars had dissolved into nothingness. They vanished like the heat from my butt on a bar stool on a cold winter night. </p>\n<p>Persistence furthers, however, and in time, I eventually located a new nightclub where I could meet teachers. It was located across the street from the Extra on the third floor. The place is called the “Psycho”. Despite cliques and divisions, every Friday and Saturday at 11:00 pm dozens of expatriates gravitated to the site. There was a variety or English teachers from across the globe, a number of U.S. soldiers out for a night of celebration, and a fleet of German engineers. In many ways the Psycho reflected the spirit and dynamic that I described in my book. However, there was one major difference. This time the bar was operated, but not owned, by an unique blend of westerners. Expatriates had set out to carve their own niche in Korea and create a sense of place. There were sexy bartenders to fall in love with and wild managers that plied me with free tequila while I danced on wooden tables. Beautiful Korean women flirted and cool music pumped its way into my soul. I offered private toasts to Graham Greene and the Ugly American. Perhaps it is the foreigners who are now the isolated ones, forming our private Hermit Kingdoms in Asia, or perhaps we are just having fun. As the bar began to empty at 4:00 am I realized my role in the continuity of expatriates. I am the nameless teacher that passed by Gumi on my way to someplace else. I barked at the midnight moon and raged not softly into the morning light. In all this physical exchange and spilt beer only one thing remains after it has all evaporated away. What exists is the spirit of the foreigner living abroad. The missing link wasn’t a single person or a name that could connect me with the past. What survived was the energy of the expatriate. I drink from this cup of playful passion and pass it along. </p>','','2004-10-01 05:48:30',1,'2004-10-01 05:48:30','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(220,10,'The big black hole','the-big-black-hole','Thais and e-mailing','I have one customer – God bless her – who checks her email between 8.30 and 8.45am every morning.

MacDees serve a fairly edible breakfast menu between the hours of 7.00 and 11.00am and it&rsquo;s always nice to take a break from the tedium of pushing a trolley cart around crowded shopping aisles and negotiating your way around badly-behaved children.</p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve adopted this routine for several weeks now and noticed in that time, the service in this particular branch of McDonalds hovers somewhere between barely acceptable and an absolute disgrace. Nothing you order is ever cooked and ready.</p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s one counter assistant (who is also the manager) manning four tills - and she barks the orders to one overworked cook failing miserably to keep up.

If there&rsquo;s anyone reading this rubbish, you&rsquo;re probably already thinking &ndash; &ldquo;you fool&rdquo;</p>\n<p>The McDonalds restaurants in Thailand are operated by the McThai Company Limited. They have a flashy bilingual website that informs you where the latest branch is opening, the most recent additions to the menu, and how to book a kiddy&rsquo;s birthday party. What isn&rsquo;t apparent &ndash; not at first glance anyway &ndash; are the company&rsquo;s contact details.</p>\n<p>However, if you don some powerful spectacles, there is a tiny tab at the top of the page labeled &lsquo;quick menu&rsquo;.

Nothing.</p>\n<p>I typed the e-mail message two more times and submitted it, both times with the same result. Perhaps the message was already winging its way to the executive meeting rooms on the 18th floor or perhaps &ndash; and more predictably &ndash; I was completely wasting my time. Only time would tell.</p>\n<p>Lo and behold, the following day I got a response from one of McThai&rsquo;s PR executives. I won&rsquo;t reproduce the e-mail here, suffice to say the e-mail consisted of two paragraphs. A short, first paragraph - in badly written English - expressing disappointment that I had experienced such poor service at one of its restaurants, and a second paragraph, which was a corporate cut &lsquo;n&rsquo; paste job that went something like &ldquo;we are committed and dedicated to providing our customers with the highest standard of blah blah blah&rdquo; and contained words such as &lsquo;strive&rsquo; and &lsquo;policy&rsquo;</p>\n<p>I can&rsquo;t remember any more because I fell asleep half-way through reading it.</p>\n<p>Now this may come as a surprise to you, but I wasn&rsquo;t the slightest bit miffed that a McThai PR executive would consider me daft enough not to realize that I&rsquo;d simply been fed a line of corporate bullshit. I wasn&rsquo;t looking for some multi-paragraph apology. I wasn&rsquo;t expecting a phone call from some guy introducing himself as Steve Johnson, the Head of McDonalds Asia, and inviting me for a slap-up lunch at the restaurant of my choice (the limo will be there to pick you up in an hour)</p>\n<p>I was just overjoyed that I got a response. And a response within 48 hours at that! What more can a foreigner ask for when communicating with a Thai company by e-mail. It&rsquo;s something I&rsquo;d almost given up on.

What about the big black hole that e-mail disappears into every time you compose a message for a Thai recipient, press the send button and say a silent prayer?</p>\n<p>Several years ago, I was approached by a Thai school-owner to form some sort of business partnership. The details aren&rsquo;t important but after a chat over coffee at his plush new office, he told me he would put together a business plan outline and email it to me the following day.</p>\n<p>I waited two weeks before he finally sent it. After looking over the plan, I realized there were a few adjustments I needed him to make. I revised the outline and sent it back to him within 48 hours. I was eager to set the wheels in motion and not lose any momentum. This time I didn&rsquo;t have to wait two weeks for his response. It took him three weeks this time!</p>\n<p>At that stage I told him straight. I refused to do business with anyone who took a fortnight to answer an e-mail. Goodbye and good night. He obviously took things personally because I haven&rsquo;t heard from him since.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;d like to think the above is an isolated case but it isn&rsquo;t. Just exactly what is it with Thais and replying to e-mails?</p>\n<p>What about the real estate agent in Chiang Rai, who I contacted to ask about rental properties and it took them five working days and a weekend to respond? Then when I expressed an interest in one particular property, they never replied at all.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Eventually I called the office and listened to the woman squirm and offer one pathetic excuse after another on the other end of the phone. How do these people manage to stay in business?</p>\n<p>What irks me most is when company websites proudly boast that they have a 24-hour e-mail hotline - so contact us NOW! Four times I&rsquo;ve contacted UOB bank regarding problems with their on-line banking system and not once have they acknowledged the message or heaven forbid, offer a solution.</p>\n<p>I have one customer &ndash; God bless her &ndash; who checks her email between 8.30 and 8.45am every morning. If you send her an e-mail at 8.46, she won&rsquo;t actually read it until the following business day. Send it at 8.46 on a Friday and she&rsquo;ll deal with it after the weekend.</p>\n<p>Then how long it takes her to respond is anyone&rsquo;s guess. I always get this image of the minute hand striking quarter to the hour and a member of staff appearing with a chain and padlock. Either that or the woman is only willing to devote a quarter of an hour a day to reading e-mail and the rest of the time is assigned to two main tasks; searching the web for ringtones and downloading pictures of farang babies wearing sunglasses and high heels.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve always loved working at companies and approaching Thai female staff from behind. Actually that doesn&rsquo;t sound good. I&rsquo;m merely peering over their shoulders to get a glimpse of their computer desktops.</p>\n<p>I could spend all day analyzing the average Thai female&rsquo;s desktop clutter and trying to fathom out what on earth goes through their minds. The desktop wallpaper &ndash; the four furry kittens in a basket, the farang toddler dressed in an oversize leather jacket and the timeless legend &lsquo;Who Loves Ya Baby?&rsquo; I can let all that slide. It&rsquo;s the masses of folders and sub-folders that contain endless humorous photos and graphics that persons anonymous or well-meaning friends have sent to them over the years.</p>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t you know that you&rsquo;re supposed to look at it (if you decide to open it in the first place) have a quick chuckle and then delete it? Not store the damn thing in some hard-drive hogging, twenty gigabyte library containing 10,000 photos that were barely funny at the time.</p>\n<p>Is it any wonder that I&rsquo;m not getting my bloody e-mails!</p>','','2008-10-03 05:54:08',1,'2008-10-03 05:54:08','2014-12-03 10:10:09'),(221,10,'Taxi!','taxi','The eight kinds of Bangkok taxi driver','Get those rosary beads out mind because if there\'s one big advantage to being picked up by the tear-arse it\'s that he’ll get you to that meeting on Sathorn Road in lightning quick time.

Well, they say that first appearances are everything and I\'m getting pretty adept at recognizing the eight types of Bangkok cabbie. Here they are;</p>\n<p><strong>The Tear-arse</strong><br />The tear-arse is usually in his early 20\'s and instantly recognizable by his floppy hair, cheap pilot shades and at least one item of ear adornment. If you&rsquo;re lucky he&rsquo;ll be wearing flip-flops, but often prefers to drive barefoot. Driving a taxi is not the tear-arse&rsquo;s regular job and you always get the distinct impression that he&rsquo;s &lsquo;filling in for a mate&rsquo;. I\'m sometimes inclined to ask for some driving credentials, but think better of it and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Get those rosary beads out mind because if there\'s one big advantage to being picked up by the tear-arse it\'s that he&rsquo;ll get you to that meeting on Sathorn Road in lightning quick time. It may involve running a red light or two and knocking over an old man at the Asoke intersection, but you&rsquo;ll not miss a minute of that meeting. One way systems? Bus lanes? Let other motorists worry about them. I mean, it\'s not as if the tear-arse\'s personal details are actually held by anyone.</p>\n<p><strong>Uncle Somchai</strong><br />He&rsquo;s the complete opposite of the tear-arse above. Usually in his late 50&rsquo;s or 60&rsquo;s, he&rsquo;s been in the taxi game for donkey&rsquo;s years. He remembers the glory days before expressways and the sky-train, when he didn\'t have to bother with that bloody meter thing You charged 60 baht if the weather was dry and 160 if it was raining. He knows every far-flung industrial estate, every obscure sub-soi, and every twist and turn of the expressway system. You don&rsquo;t have to wave badly drawn maps at this fellah.<br />The disadvantage to using Uncle Somchai&rsquo;s services is that he loves to listen to that dreadful radio station that offers up-to-the-minute updates on how bad the traffic is in various parts of the city. Motorists will phone up the radio station from their particular stretch of metropolitan gridlock, witter on about how it\'s so far taken them 37 hours to get home, only to have the next caller ring up and say, &ldquo;You think you&rsquo;re in a traffic jam. You should see the one I&rsquo;m in&rdquo; It&rsquo;s all riveting stuff. And if it\'s not some dickhead moaning about traffic jams, it\'s some poor hapless soul regaling the story of how they\'ve left four million baht in a tan briefcase on the back seat of a cab and all they can remember is that the taxi was green and yellow. Or hang on...... it could\'ve been pink and blue.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Homesick.</strong><br />I like Mr Homesick I really do. This is the man from the North East of Thailand. Five years ago he gave up on a dry patch of land that would never see another grain of rice and he headed to the big, bad city to seek his fortune. Although he\'s by and large adapted to life in Bangkok (a place he hates with a passion) his heart and thoughts are always somewhere in Issan. He drives around on double shifts, listening to Luk Thung (the much loved music of North-East Thailand) blaring out of tinny speakers. If you\'re really lucky, your listening pleasure will be enhanced by a cheap sound to light system. There will also be a faded photograph on the dashboard, the subject of which is usually a slightly bruised-looking woman posing stiffly with two barefooted urchins. Once Mr Homesick feels comfortable with you, he\'ll tap the photo and say \"wife and kids\" and smile at you through a mouthful of either black or missing teeth. You\'re left with no alternative but to nod approvingly and tell him how beautiful they are. Lie through your teeth in other words.<br />But one word of warning. Beware of the question &ldquo;have you ever been to Nakhon Nowhere?&rdquo;<br />If you reply with &ldquo;yes, and it was wonderful&rdquo;, then you might find the pair of you parked up on the hard shoulder as the driver sobs uncontrollably, bemoaning the fact that Bangkok is hell on earth, and the northeast, with its unbearably hot summer days, its sub-zero winter nights, and hardly enough food to go around, really is the closest thing to Heaven.</p>\n<p><strong>The Planner</strong><br />You don&rsquo;t automatically jump into the planner&rsquo;s taxi cab. You adopt that \'door open, half-in, half out\' stance because you instinctively know that the planner doesn\'t want to go where you want to go. Something about his stern expression tells you that this is a man looking for passengers whose journey involves two left-turns and costs 43 baht (which you\'ll round up to 50 baht anyway because the planner never carries change) So you open the rear passenger door, stick your head inside, and tell him your destination, trying to hide the fact that it&rsquo;s almost in another time zone.<br />The planner never gives you a straight yes or no answer. He pauses momentarily, sucks his teeth, scrutinizes the road ahead and scratches his head. Time becomes uncomfortably frozen. He then considers a few other factors &ndash; the route, an alternative route, the time, the weather, the need to relieve his bladder, his hunger pangs, the Thai boxing on TV &ndash; then says no and drives off. You\'re left standing at the side of the road wondering whether to break down and cry or give him the middle finger, which he\'ll hopefully catch in the rear-view mirror.</p>\n<p><strong>The Masochist</strong><br />The masochist drives for a 12-hour shift with the air-conditioning set at its lowest possible temperature. The moment you get in the masochist&rsquo;s cab, your bum sticks to the seat and pools of sweat start accumulating near the small of your back. It&rsquo;s definitely hot enough to grow tomatoes and possibly less than five minutes before you pass out altogether. It\'s possibly the most unappealing environment you could put yourself in, with the exception of a Welsh seaside town on a bank holiday. There\'ll also be half a dozen mosquitoes buzzing around for good measure. Forget trying to swat them. Have you ever tried to swat mosquitoes in a moving vehicle? It\'s futile. Nothing to do except lie back, close your eyes and let the little bastards feast on your sweaty flesh. There\'s nothing a mosquito likes more apparently. Finally you pluck up the courage to request that the cooling system be turned up a notch&hellip;..and a notch is exactly what you get. At the end of a hard day&rsquo;s taxi-driving, the masochist likes to go home and slip into something uncomfortable.</p>\n<p><strong>The Interrogator</strong><br />When you&rsquo;re faced with a lengthy taxi journey and all you want to do is sit back and listen to that English-speaking radio station that plays Minnie Riperton\'s Loving You and Randy Vanwarmer\'s Just When I Needed You Most on the hour, every hour, you&rsquo;ll be picked up by the interrogator &ndash; I guarantee it.<br />It starts off with the fairly innocuous &ldquo;what country are you from?&rdquo; and &ldquo;how long have you been in Thailand?&rdquo; but before you know it the guy thinks you&rsquo;re the fucking encyclopedia Brittanica. He&rsquo;s asking you about the population of Manchester and how long Maggie Thatcher was Prime Minister. You can&rsquo;t remember when you had to work your brain so hard. It&rsquo;s almost like being back at school again.</p>\n<p><strong>The New Guy</strong><br />This is the guy who hasn\'t yet acquired \'The Knowledge\'. In fact it&rsquo;s a small miracle that he manages to put his shoes on the right feet every morning.<br />&ldquo;Silom Road? Yeah I think I know it. Could you tell me when we&rsquo;re getting near?&rdquo;<br />You know you&rsquo;ve got the new guy when he stops after barely 500 metres to ask a passer-by for directions. And new guys will never ask someone who looks as though they might know the destination (a businessman wearing a crisp white shirt for example) The new guy will invariably go for the most inappropriate-looking person for miles around, like some fried chicken seller who looks like he&rsquo;s never ventured further than the end of that particular soi. And woe betide you if the new guy and the chicken seller share a common bond (both from the same village) because they\'ll be off down memory lane while you sit there watching the meter spin round like a bloody catherine wheel.</p>\n<p><strong>The Opportunist</strong><br />Perhaps it&rsquo;s just me becoming more streetwise and radiating the look of someone who\'s been here a while, but there seems to be a dramatic decline in the number of opportunists &ndash; those drivers who whip out their massage parlor leaflets before you&rsquo;ve even had time to locate the seatbelt. Yes, there are times when the thought of spending an hour or two in a soapy tub in the company of a pair of insatiable vixens might seem quite appealing but good heavens man! I&rsquo;ve got a train to catch. Maybe another time eh?</p>\n<p><strong>The Mutterer.</strong><br />Now here&rsquo;s an interesting one The mutterer. Let\'s say that you want the taxi to take you to Sukhumwit soi 5, the driver will spend the next five minutes repeating it at various tones and pitches for no other reason than to reduce you to a quivering backseat wreck.<br />&ldquo;Sukhumwit soi 5&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Yes please&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Suk.......hum.....wit.......soi........five&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;That&rsquo;s right&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Suk................hum..........wit (deathly pause) soi...................five&rdquo;<br />It&rsquo;s like a form of Chinese water torture. Is he doing this because he doesn&rsquo;t know the location or is it a prelude to something more sinister? &ldquo;Put your seatbelt on, I want to try something. I saw it in a cartoon but I&rsquo;m pretty sure I can pull it off&rdquo;<br />You can never fully relax with the mutterer at the wheel. Is he just amusing himself with this series of &lsquo;staccato non sequetas&rsquo; or am I about to be driven to a piece of wasteland to re-enact a certain scene from Deliverance? You feel at any moment you\'re going to cave in and scream \"OK I\'ll do whatever you want. Just let me live\"<br />The worst part about being in a confined space with the mutterer? You never know when he\'s going to fire a question at you. And failure to give the correct answer could have dire consequences.</p>','','2008-08-05 16:26:02',1,'2008-08-05 16:26:02','2009-07-13 21:09:03'),(222,10,'Notes from a small island','notes-from-a-small-island','reflections on a trip back to the UK','England really does seem so expensive to me now.

There&rsquo;s nothing like a fortnight back in England (or in my case three weeks) to put things back into some sort of perspective.</p>\n<p>England really does seem so expensive to me now. OK you expect to pay more for goods than you would in Thailand but this time I really noticed it. I paid almost twelve pounds for four standard-size single-cone ice creams in the village of Henley-in-Arden. It&rsquo;s three pounds plus for a decent sandwich in Pret-A-Manger (almost five pounds if you have a bottled fruit smoothie to go with it) but for a sheer jaw-dropping, wallet emptying experience, how about five pounds for a large cappuccino and a muffin in Starbucks?</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve started off with take-away food and drink as a pricing yardstick because in the last couple of years, no business sector seems to have mushroomed in the UK quite like the take-away food industry. Stand on any busy high street, look around, and you get the impression that literally every other shop dispenses some form of takeaway food to the hungry masses. There are sandwiches, kebabs, trays of chips, baked potatoes with assorted fillings and cheese and onion pasties. In the town of Lichfield, I even came across a sandwich bar selling &lsquo;Irish sandwiches&rsquo;, with fillings slapped between two chunky slices of soda bread.</p>\n<p>My interest was piqued because I wondered what sort of salaries the English were earning these days. How much would you need to make to enable you to toss back a three quid Starbucks coffee on a daily basis, or smoke twenty cigarettes at six pounds a packet? I spent half an hour looking at the job ad cards in the windows of several temping / employment agencies on Birmingham&rsquo;s busy New Street. To my surprise there were hundreds of positions paying between 15K and 19K a year - most of them it appeared were for jobs involved with looking after the elderly, as you&rsquo;d expect now that Britain has such an aging population. So that&rsquo;s a take-home of about 230 pounds a week. The math just didn&rsquo;t add up. I&rsquo;d perused the classified ads in the Birmingham Evening Mail the night before and rented accommodation in even the most undesirable areas was nigh on 80 pounds a week. Throw a few Starbucks coffees, a chicken tikka sandwich and a packet of cigarettes into the mix and your immediate thought is how do people manage to put clothes on their back?</p>\n<p>I suppose at this point I should give special mention to the enterprising cafe-bar owner near New Street Station, who had customers queuing five deep at 8.30 in the morning to buy his daily special offer &ndash; two slices of toast for a pound! That&rsquo;s two slices of plain white bread, shoved under a grill, for the equivalent of 65 baht. And the three counter staff couldn&rsquo;t serve people quick enough.</p>\n<p>My Uncle Jeff is a smart cookie. An ex-amateur boxer, now in his fifties, he got his foot on the property ladder when he was just 23 and the last thirty years have seen a series of shrewd investments that have enabled him to put two daughters through top universities. Now the kids have well and truly fled the nest, he&rsquo;s enjoying the spoils of years spent carefully watching the coffers. Always a good man to talk to about all things financial, Jeff explained to me how things have changed over the past few years.<br />&ldquo;What you have now is a huge group of people called the stay-at-home twenties, or in some cases well into their thirties. These are people with fairly decent jobs, probably pulling in 20K plus a year, but no hope whatsoever of buying or renting a property and leaving home. So instead they&rsquo;re still living with parents and still holed up in the same childhood bedroom. It&rsquo;s not an ideal existence but it does mean the stay-at-home twenties have significant amounts of disposable income. They&rsquo;ve adopted a live-for-today attitude, and it&rsquo;s probably why the designer clothes shops and the pubs aren&rsquo;t struggling when it comes to attracting the younger customers&rdquo;</p>\n<p>I had an afternoon down at Edgbaston cricket ground to watch my beloved Warwickshire for the first time in almost twenty years. The entertainment lasted just short of four hours and cost twenty pounds per person. I&rsquo;m sorry to keep harping on about money and the cost of things, but back in the early 80&rsquo;s when my brother, dad and myself used to go to watch Sunday league cricket, admission barely broke a tenner for all three of us. Now if a guy wants to take his two teenage sons to a cricket match and probably enjoy a pint or two, he hasn&rsquo;t got much change out of hundred pounds when you also key in his petrol and parking.</p>\n<p>I stayed for a couple of weeks with my brother and sister-in-law in Sutton Coldfield &ndash; or &lsquo;The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield&rsquo; as the locals prefer it to be known. Both Paul and Yvonne hold down excellent jobs in banking and education, but with free time at such a premium (they have two young and demanding children) much of their shopping and day-to-day business transactions are done on-line. I sat in the living room with them one rainy afternoon as with laptops powered up, they proceeded to order a food delivery from the local Tesco&rsquo;s (75 pounds plus five pounds delivery charge), tax one of their cars (185 pounds a year) and enter themselves in the Birmingham half-marathon (35 pounds each)</p>\n<p>We&rsquo;re not talking about a particularly rich couple here. Sure they have a fairly comfortable standard of living but they aren&rsquo;t at the stage where money is no object. But as Paul so eloquently puts it - &ldquo;things cost what they cost&rdquo;<br />If they want to go out for the evening, they think nothing of spending twenty pounds on a babysitter. This is not some professional agency either. We&rsquo;re talking about a sixteen year old girl who wanders over from the house directly opposite. Factor in the twenty pounds for a cab ride home and you&rsquo;ve spent forty quid before you&rsquo;ve even stood at the bar. I used to do a whole month of beer and nightclubs on that sort of cash. I know times have changed but my word, how they&rsquo;ve changed. You get to the point where the costs of living in the UK or what people have to spend to buy goods and services just doesn&rsquo;t surprise you anymore.</p>\n<p>My favorite &ldquo;bloody hell, how much!&rdquo; moment still involves when my wife and I took a train from Wylde Green to Lichfield &ndash; a journey of 18 minutes and about four stations in-between. The off-peak fare was eight pounds return for the two of us. Think of how far you could go in a taxi for the 500 baht equivalent. And when we alighted at Lichfield Station to an empty, windswept platform, I looked at my wife and said &ldquo;obviously the ticket price doesn&rsquo;t include dinner and a show&rdquo;</p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s quite enough of these economic woes. Let&rsquo;s turn our attention to the British weather. It is after all our number one topic of conversation - a national pastime as it were. I&rsquo;d forgotten how irksome the British weather can be &ndash; even when you&rsquo;re in the middle of a wet, cold spell that includes the longest day of the year and claims to be &lsquo;The English Summer&rsquo;.</p>\n<p>My previous two visits to England had been in October 2006 and April 2005. You know where you are with those months. You know you&rsquo;ll need gloves, scarves and wooly hats because the terms &lsquo;late Autumn&rsquo; and &lsquo;early Spring&rsquo; mean just one thing &ndash; COLD!</p>\n<p>June is a different kettle of fish. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d pack three suitcases for a trip to the UK at this time of year - one with your light sweaters and jeans for when the temperature goes decidedly chilly, another suitcase with your thermal underwear and padded jackets for those typical early Summer afternoons, and then not forgetting a third suitcase with your t-shirts, shorts and swimwear because you don&rsquo;t want to be caught out on one of the three days a year when the mercury hits 22 degrees. If you&rsquo;re unlucky enough &ndash; as we were on several occasions &ndash; you&rsquo;ll experience all three climatic scenarios on one day.</p>\n<p>We spent a lovely day, the wife and I, picking our way around Oxford (a city I&rsquo;d never visited before) Although these English towns and cities are quite splendid, nothing can express the frustration the average day-tripper has to go through when it comes to the decision on &lsquo;how to dress for the weather&rsquo; because you invariably get it wrong. Wear a t-shirt and you suddenly find yourself freezing to death in a shaded side-street and wishing you&rsquo;d brought at least another eight layers. Wear a sweater and jacket and the sun burns down from a cloudless blue sky forcing you to remove clothing and walk around cathedrals and cloisters weighed down like a Himalayan Sherpa. At times the constant taking off and putting on makes you feel like an overbooked strippagram. I can see why in colonial times, gentleman of high esteem would perhaps have a personal valet trailing behind, proffering the occasional cardigan if the day turned nippy, but unfortunately I didn&rsquo;t have such luxuries to call upon so one just tends to grin and bear it.</p>\n<p>Moving on, let&rsquo;s talk about the numerous retail giants that are present on any British high street &ndash; Marks and Spencers, WH Smiths, Littlewoods, BHS and Wilkinsons, etc, etc. Nowadays, they all have one thing in common &ndash; the customer service is bloody awful! Years ago in these places, you were served by some elderly grandmother-type figure with a blue rinse and spectacles on a chain. She would by and large, be charmingly incompetent but she would deal with you in that wonderfully polite, British manner just as soon as she&rsquo;d located her glasses and found which key fit the cash register. These days you&rsquo;re lucky to find a shop assistant at all and even luckier to find one that doesn&rsquo;t speak with a thick East European accent. Go into any branch of WH Smiths the newsagents and you can virtually guarantee there&rsquo;ll be a long line of twitchy, irritable customers each holding a newspaper and a packet of chewing gum, and looking nervously at wristwatches while the 2.30 meeting with Peter from accounts moves closer ever closer. It occurred to me that queuing for five minutes (and five minutes is a long time when you just want to pay for your goods and fuck off) has become very much part and parcel of the UK shopping experience. It&rsquo;s something you&rsquo;re simply required to do. You stand in line with twenty other customers and you shuffle forward inch-by-inch as that line moves at a speed best described as glacial. And then when you get to the counter clutching your magazine and a few other bits and pieces, a pierced, tattooed twenty-something called Erika or Petra takes your money and asks if you want the items put in a bag. All this is done without even a fleeting second of eye contact. It&rsquo;s no good moaning about it. These are shop assistants who wouldn&rsquo;t know the meaning of customer service if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsichord. And their response would probably be &ldquo;well what the f*** do you expect for minimum wage?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>This asking a customer if they&rsquo;d like their goods put into a bag has become the norm in the British retail industry. The UK has gone environment-friendly bonkers. Ok let me be the first to say that Thailand could learn a hell of a lot here and I&rsquo;m all in favor of doing what we can to save the planet, but you have the situation in the UK now where companies who are doing their bit to save resources, eliminate carbon footprints (whatever that is) and make sure that Nicaraguan sewing machinists are paid a fair daily wage are ramming it down your throat at every turn. I&rsquo;ve got nothing against Marks and Sparks feeling a tad guilty about their factory emissions or Next Clothing grumbling about their Indian textile workers living on less than three rupees a month, but what ever happened to the words &lsquo;discreet&rsquo; and &lsquo;subtle&rsquo;?<br />Why not put a pile of simple, innocuous gatefold leaflets near the cash register so customers can choose whether they want to read up on what their favorite store is doing to eliminate third-world poverty? Instead &ndash; and Marks and Spencers are the worst culprits by far &ndash; you have whole walls of retail space festooned with bold-type statements and stark images of a starving workforce. Am I the only one who feels like saying &ldquo;well it&rsquo;s your fault for letting things get like that in the first place&rdquo;. You can actually purchase some very nice items of clothing, you might even look forward to wearing them when you get home &ndash; but you can still leave the store feeling like shit.</p>\n<p>At all Tesco supermarket checkouts &ndash; and I presume other supermarket chains are doing the same &ndash; shoppers are awarded points for bringing their own carrier bags. If you&rsquo;re one of these sooper-dooper environmentalists, you will have already bought the 2.95 eco-friendly, use forever, Hessian shopping bag with the tesco logo emblazoned across it. I&rsquo;m not sure if these points result in a cash discount or you accumulate the points and eventually exchange them for a 64-piece screwdriver set. Truth I be known I don&rsquo;t much care but I take my hat off to the British public who are walking out of supermarkets, pockets bulging with fruit and salad stuff and balancing the rest of the weekly shopping on their heads. Ask for a carrier bag and you&rsquo;ll regret it &ndash; as I did when I simply refused to stuff five packets of McVities Chocolate Digestive in my shirt pocket.<br />&ldquo;Would you like a carrier bag?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Er&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;yes please&rdquo;<br />The world seemed to freeze momentarily. The old couple behind me tutted. The young mother still packing her stuff away in front of me (in her Hessian bag of course) shot me a look as if to say, &ldquo;do you have no shame?&rdquo;<br />I grabbed the items and made sharply for the door. The biscuits were delicious by the way.<br />By way of a conclusion to this carrier bag saga, the shops at Birmingham International Airport now charge one pence for any plastic bag, regardless of size. I saw quite a brouhaha develop between an Indian sales assistant and a rather thuggish looking Liverpool gentleman, who was before me in the queue, holding a packet of Polo mints and a Daily Mirror. His mood wasn&rsquo;t helped by having to control a rather badly-behaved toddler who wouldn&rsquo;t sit in her pushchair. He&rsquo;d probably just had a shit fortnight in Tenerife as well. To cut a long story short, he wasn&rsquo;t willing to pay a penny for the carrier bag and between you and me, I&rsquo;d bet he was willing to go to prison for it. The Indian guy stood there, soaked up thirty seconds of abuse but still wanted the penny. I think the customer eventually told him where to stick his carrier bag and stormed out. Personally I would have just let the company take the penny out of my wages.</p>\n<p>Britain&rsquo;s cities are getting scary. They really are. I&rsquo;m not talking about knife attacks on innocent individuals and all those stories that seem to dominate the news headlines, I&rsquo;m talking about the simple act of walking down a city street and feeling safe. Perhaps I&rsquo;ve been away too long but in my nightclubbing / pubbing days of the early 80&rsquo;s you&rsquo;d occasionally see a couple of guys having a handbags at ten paces after a night on the sauce. Someone would get a slap and then the crowds of onlookers would disperse and the incident would be forgotten in five minutes. Cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield, at 10.30pm, were all about loads of people just out to have a good time. Are those days sadly gone forever? You walk through Birmingham City Center, even in broad daylight with the streets thronged with office workers and shoppers, and there&rsquo;s this underlying air of tension and aggression. Groups of swarthy Albanians huddled together outside a cheap Wetherspoon&rsquo;s pub, small gangs of third and fourth generation Asian kids with bags of attitude, chatting happily but all the time looking over each other&rsquo;s shoulders as though waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity for what I couldn&rsquo;t tell you. And clusters of young English guys, dressed from head to toe in designer chic and talking into hi-tech mobile phones. Add to that the Big Issue sellers with mongrel dogs on a length of string and the ubiquitous &ldquo;can you spare any change?&rdquo; mob and a day out in the city center can be a pretty daunting experience.</p>\n<p>I took my wife to a suburb of Birmingham called Erdington, simply because it was an area I hung around in from time to time during my misspent youth. Erdington has never been what you&rsquo;d describe as classy but I was astonished at just how far it had fallen. The first thing you see as you get off the number 11 bus is a Polish Welfare Organisation &ndash; a testimony to an area that now boasts an incredibly high ratio of Polish immigrants. There are Polish guys on every street corner. Shaven-headed and muscular, they hang around in small groups cadging cigarettes and shouting obscenities at the local girls. I dragged my wife down Erdington High Street in record time. The poor girl&rsquo;s feet barely touched the floor. I wasn&rsquo;t inclined to browse in any shops. I just wanted out.</p>\n<p>As an aside, the number of Polish workers in Birmingham is falling rapidly. A report in the Birmingham Evening Mail stated that now working conditions, job opportunities and salaries are getting much better in Poland, the number of Poles heading home now far exceeds the number of new arrivals. Interesting that.</p>\n<p>I realize that I&rsquo;m straying on to very dangerous territory here but British people are definitely getting &ndash; how can I put this? &ndash; less attractive. They&rsquo;re certainly getting heavier, there&rsquo;s little doubt about that. I&rsquo;m not sure whether it&rsquo;s a diminishing access to decent healthcare or beauty products are too pricey but the younger generation seems to be taking far less pride in its appearance. I know I&rsquo;m an old fogey of 44 and I&rsquo;m in grave danger of becoming one of those who sits around in his favorite armchair telling anyone who&rsquo;ll listen about how things were much better &lsquo;in my day&rsquo; but what the hell is going on? You&rsquo;ve got these high-street fashion trends for distressed and disheveled clothing &ndash; a look which very few people carry off with any aplomb &ndash; and everyone seems content to let it all hang out. By letting it all hang out, I am of course referring to bulges of fat and flabby skin. I sat in a trendy Sutton Coldfield pub with my brother at 8.00pm on a Friday evening. This would be the classic watering hole for the Friday club crowd before they headed off to the bright lights of Broad Street in the Birmingham city center. I sat there nursing my three quid bottle of designer lager and stared around me open-mouthed. Perhaps my hormones aren&rsquo;t in the same state of frenzy as they were twenty-five years ago but I&rsquo;ve still got an eye for a good-looking girl (please don&rsquo;t let the wife read this) and girls did look great too. Nowadays the chunkier the thighs, the flabbier the arms and the fatter the arse, the more a person has to show it off. If the exposed area is tattooed and pierced then that&rsquo;s better still! Don&rsquo;t people look in full-length mirrors anymore? I sat in that pub and don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ve ever felt happier and more relieved that my courtship days are well and truly behind me.</p>\n<p>And for all this moaning and groaning, England still has its plusses. Get out of the cities and enjoy the English countryside because for me it&rsquo;s the best in the world. We spent four days rambling around the Derbyshire Peak District, drinking and eating in the fine pubs around Castleton and browsing the markets of Chesterfield and Matlock. We enjoyed some wonderful days out in Chester, Oxford and Stratford and I thought to myself &ldquo;it doesn&rsquo;t get any better than this.

','<p><img height=\"148\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/tescolotuspic.jpg\" style=\"float: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" width=\"111\" />Let&rsquo;s have a look at the retail trade in Thailand for a moment, in particular the supermarkets, the convenience stores and what are lovingly referred to as the &lsquo;Mom and Pop&rsquo; shops. One of the reasons I&rsquo;ve chosen this topic is there&rsquo;s currently a storm brewing over Tesco Lotus&rsquo;s aggressive expansion plans and the accusations that they are leaving their competitors trailing in their mighty retail wake. Several Thai economists and business writers have got themselves into serious hot water over this issue and Tesco is flexing its muscles and suing the journos for all manner of misleading statements, at least according to Tesco Lotus. And these are statements that have found their way onto the pages of some of Thailand&rsquo;s most influential business magazines. I was involved in the retail game for quite a number of years in England, and it&rsquo;s a business that never fails to excite me. I don&rsquo;t care if you manage a hypermarket in the downtown area of a capital city or run a tiny convenience store in the middle of nowhere and see five customers a day. There&rsquo;s something so wonderful, something so challenging about dealing with members of the public and putting their goods into a plastic carrier bag.</p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s get back to Tesco Lotus&rsquo;s quest for world domination. There was an interesting letter in the Bangkok Post last week. I couldn&rsquo;t work out whether the writer was personally bemoaning the demise of the friendly neighborhood Mom and Pop shop (I didn&rsquo;t read it that carefully) but he made the point that it isn&rsquo;t the supermarket giant that is killing the Mom and Pop trade, but the 7-11 convenience stores, which seem to sprout up on every street corner in Bangkok these days. I&rsquo;ll go along with that argument part of the way at least. There are far too many 7-11s. Sometimes you can stand at a busy intersection and have three stores fall within your normal range of vision. That&rsquo;s just ridiculous. There can&rsquo;t be that many people who need to pay an electricity bill or fancy munching a sausage-on-a-stick. There can&rsquo;t be that many customers who want to buy something as insignificant as a can of Coke and then watch as no fewer than four shop assistants get involved in the buying process &ndash; one to take the beverage, one to ring up the amount on the cash register, one to sort out the change, and a fourth one to standby lest one of the other three should faint during the transaction.</p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t want to debate the shortcomings of Thailand&rsquo;s favorite convenience store chain (there isn&rsquo;t enough room on the website) but whenever there&rsquo;s an argument over who&rsquo;s killing the Mom and Pop trade, I can&rsquo;t help feel that everyone is missing the point. What&rsquo;s in danger of being forgotten is that nipping into a Mom and Pop shop, be it for a packet of potato chips, a bottle of water, or one of those green and yellow scouring pads, is often the most miserable of experiences. Let&rsquo;s be honest about it, the reason they&rsquo;re dying out is because they&rsquo;re crap. I ventured into a dark and dingy Mom and Pop shop on Soi Thonglor yesterday in search of one of those refreshing cold towels (phaa yen) which normally sell for about ten baht. An old boy of about ninety-six shuffled out of the gloom in his grubby singlet and faded khaki shorts, and when I asked him if he had the item in stock, he mumbled about having to go back in the direction he&rsquo;d come from to fetch it. He re-appeared with the cold towel in what felt like a lifetime later and asked me for eight baht. He then had to disappear into the murkiness a second time to count out two baht change from a filthy dirty money pouch. The whole transaction took four minutes. That&rsquo;s about three and a half minutes longer than it should have. By the time he&rsquo;d finished, oh man &ndash; I desperately needed that cold towel. Yes, the Mom and Pop stores are dying out and we should all be up-in-arms. We should be burning our bras and chaining ourselves to fences as these time-honored pillars of the community are ruthlessly swallowed up and spat out by the retail giants. I&rsquo;ve got two words for that &ndash; &lsquo;my arse&rsquo;.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m almost ashamed to say it, but I&rsquo;ve very recently become a Tesco Lotus shopper. For years and years I&rsquo;d pledged my allegiance to the Foodland chain of supermarkets and pushing a trolley around the small but well-stocked Sri Nakarin branch was a weekly ritual come rain come shine. But all good things come to an end. I&rsquo;d grown tired of the dry-cleaner losing my trousers and thinking a smile made everything OK. I&rsquo;d had enough of the appalling service in the Took La Dee restaurant. Most of all I was fed up with seeing an exciting new item on the shelves only to have it disappear completely when stocks were sold out (Naan bread, tins of Mediterranean style tuna, fresh parmesan cheese and small plastic Zip-loc bags to name just four) And don&rsquo;t get me started on the price of fruit at Foodland. Does the guy who prices these items ever stick his head outside and see what the rest of the world is paying for an apple?</p>\n<p>I do unfortunately get slight pangs of guilt from walking around Tesco Lotus and filling a shopping basket. I&rsquo;ve read the articles written by the Thai economists and I&rsquo;ve looked at Tescopoly.com, the excellent anti-Tesco website that seems to have an awful lot of weight behind it. However, Tesco&rsquo;s have won me over with their excellent range of Tesco ready meals. These are not those crappy microwave meals that you stick in the oven for two minutes and consist of a plastic tray with two sections of overcooked disappointment, but a range of freshly cooked meals all nicely packaged and lovingly wrapped with a cardboard sleeve that announces itself as &lsquo;sweet and sour fish and rice&rsquo; or &lsquo;macaroni with chilli and chicken&rsquo;. The fruit&rsquo;s cheaper too. Perhaps it&rsquo;s just me getting old but whereas I would once stand outside the Birmingham council house, fist raised aloft, protesting alongside hundreds of others about the hardships faced by Nicaraguan tin miners, these days it&rsquo;s anything for an easy life. I&rsquo;ve put the Billy Bragg albums in storage you might say.</p>\n<p>I realize that I&rsquo;m moving into dangerous territory here, but I&rsquo;m something of a supermarket snob and fiercely proud of it. Alas, supermarket snobbery and shopping at Tesco Lotus aren&rsquo;t exactly the most obvious companions. For that reason I tend to drag the wife around Tesco&rsquo;s just as the sun is coming up and not later in the day when Thai families descend on the place in search of a cheap day out. You could say I get there early to secure the choicest fillets of fish, but that&rsquo;s not the reason. The truth is that I hate having to duck out of the way of runaway child-powered trolleys and I can&rsquo;t stand to see or hear Thai men coughing phlegm over the salads and freshly baked muffins. Someone really does need to put up a sign in the bakery section that says &lsquo;please note that the tongs are for picking up the bakery items, and not scratching your backside with&rsquo;. But early morning shoppers tend to exit the store unscathed by such experiences so I&rsquo;m proud to count myself among them.</p>','','2008-07-22 16:37:36',1,'2008-07-22 16:37:36','2009-07-13 21:09:37'),(224,10,'Homesickness of sorts','homesickness-of-sorts','40 things I miss about life in England','Just off the top of my head - and I suppose I could have thought of a lot more - but here are forty things I miss about life back in the old country.','<p>1) Standing outside Gregg\'s the Bakers eating a hot sausage roll with proper sausage meat in it<br />\n2) Fields of daffodils and spring lambs<br />\n3) A pint of bitter shandy at some isolated country pub<br />\n4) The phenomenal selection of quality microwave meals at Tesco Lotus<br />\n5) Driving through ten villages and knowing that each and every one will have its own identity<br />\n6) Church bells on a Sunday morning<br />\n7) The first frosty morning that\'s always good for the brussel sprouts<br />\n8) A lonely train station that sees barely six passengers a day and yet still manages to keep a guy in the ticket office under full employment<br />\n9) Elderly shop assistants in newsagents and off-licences who address you as \'my love\' or \'lover\'<br />\n10) Strawberry bon-bons, Jaffa Cakes, Jammy Dodgers and Wagon Wheels.

Well \'stroll\' is probably not the correct word to use - it\'s more of a limp and a hobble if truth be told. I\'m talking here about the Sukhumwit end of Wittayu Road with the lush compound of the American Embassy on one side of the street and that untidy hotch-potch of food-stalls and fly-by-night translation businesses on the other. It\'s never been the most pleasant of walks, whichever side of the road you choose, but at the moment there are extensive footpath repairs in progress and the whole area resembles a war-zone. It\'s horrible. I ambled down to my local bank this week, opposite the Conrad Hotel, and walked most of the journey in the face of oncoming traffic. You couldn\'t negotiate the footpath itself unless you fancied going arse-over-tit into a sand dune or falling down the infamous Bangkok pothole. Why oh why does the Bangkok pedestrian constantly have to put up with being treated like a third-class citizen? Why should cars have priority over me?</p>\n<p>Of course all this is nothing new. Thais have been digging up the footpaths and endangering the lives of pedestrians for donkey\'s years. I remember a student telling me a long time ago that the major problem is none of the utility companies consult each other. The electrical company might dig up a stretch of footpath to lay a new underground cable (or do whatever electrical companies do) and after they\'ve returned the footpath back to a reasonable state, along comes the water company to dig it all up again. Six months later, and the electrical company decide their original work could probably be improved upon. The result - a stretch of footpath in almost constant upheaval. And all the pedestrian can do is smile through gritted teeth as they twist an ankle for the third time that week. Complain? Well you could do - but frankly no one gives a shit. That\'s if you knew who to complain to in the first place.</p>\n<p>It\'s not always the fault of the utility companies though. Sometimes paving stones are dug up and replaced purely for cosmetic reasons. I\'m all in favor of making the city look more appealing but I\'m also a believer in if a job is worth doing, then it\'s worth doing well. You\'ve probably seen the gang of Thai laborers mark out an area of footpath in readiness for a paving stone makeover. They\'ll set about the task with bits of string and measuring tape. Some of them even look as though they\'ve got the right tools. Six months and a few heavy rainstorms later, the whole foundation layer subsides and you\'re left with a concrete ripple effect with every stone or slab sticking out at a jaunty 45 degree angle. Soi Thonglor (Sukhumwit 55) is a fine example. No wonder the motorcycle taxis that ferry people from one end of the soi to the other do such a roaring trade.</p>\n<p>The whole footpath and re-paving conundrum is rather like Thailand in a microcosm. It\'s a kind of \'organised chaos\' - the begrudging acceptance of second-class results with little or no regard for the end user. All I\'m saying is surely there\'s someone somewhere in the this kingdom who knows how to lay a proper footpath.</p>\n<p>While we\'re on the subject of \'expat gripes\', I took my wife out for lunch last Saturday, funnily enough to Soi Thonglor and a fairly up-market restaurant called Vanilla. I\'m told it\'s owned by the S&amp;P chain of restaurants but we\'re thankfully spared the display stands of tasteless bakery items and processed cold meats that are part and parcel of its mainstream outlets. Vanilla is tastefully decorated in an old colonial style and at about 700 baht a head for a main dish and dessert, it certainly falls into the category of mid-range eatery. At just after midday on a Saturday there were surprisingly very few diners in there. This however didn\'t stop the waiters making a complete balls-up of every single order. My wife got the wrong dish twice, and a Thai woman dining with her husband on the next table managed to send three meals back to the kitchen before she eventually got her spaghetti and clams in a neapolitano sauce. Now this kind of chaos I don\'t mind so much because watching each waiter come out of the kitchen, stand in the middle of the restaurant, and try hard to guess who the dish he was holding belonged to, was both amusing and entertaining. It was a bit like watching Manuel in Fawlty Towers but with six waiters all playing the role. All this aside, what really gets my goat in Thai restaurants is when your partner\'s meal arrives ten to fifteen minutes before yours does - as was the case today. We recently held a poll on the ajarn discussion forum and asked members what was the single-most worst aspect of dining out in Thailand. Meals arriving at different times stood out as easily the most common gripe. To be honest I\'ve come to expect it in lower-priced restaurants but I find it hard to swallow in a place where you\'re handing over the best part of 2,000 baht for nothing more than a quick lunch. As my wife and I paid the bill and left the restaurant, I turned to her and said \"do you know what?

It&rsquo;s an eaterie that frankly speaking serves up distinctly average Thai meals but is better known among local Thais for its mouth-watering array of home-made cakes and pastries. I&rsquo;d better not mention the restaurant&rsquo;s name because the Cheesecake House probably wouldn&rsquo;t like it.</p>\n<p>Anyway, on this particular day &ndash; at the height of the Thai strawberry season &ndash; the restaurant was promoting a special &lsquo;strawberry and scones cream tea&rsquo;. It consisted of a pot of tea for two, a couple of plump freshly-baked scones with cream, jam and butter and a small helping of fat, ripe strawberries. At least that was what was offered in the photograph. What could be more satisfying and what could feel more British than a cream tea on a hot Sunday afternoon? I gave the waitress my order and rubbed my hands together in that state of giddy expectation you only experience as a precursor to strawberries and cream.</p>\n<p>When the cream tea finally appeared, what was plonked in front of me bore little resemblance to the hype. I counted one miserable-looking scone, a miserly dollop of jam and cream and three strawberries that had definitely seen better days. I didn&rsquo;t complain. I&rsquo;ve learned that there&rsquo;s little point in these situations, but it did kick-start something that still irritates me more than most things. I&rsquo;m not sure of the legal or formal expression &ndash; or even if one exists &ndash; but let&rsquo;s refer to it as &lsquo;pictorial misrepresentation&rsquo;. It sounds so much nicer than &lsquo;lies and bullshit&rsquo;. Pictorial misrepresentation is when you sit there scratching your head wondering how someone (usually a business owner) can possibly get away with it. One section of wall in the Cheesecake house is festooned with press clippings detailing the owner&rsquo;s story and how she developed a passion for bakery while living in the USA. You couldn&rsquo;t complain about your measly high tea to her because she was probably entertaining friends on an obscenely large yacht somewhere off the Phuket coast, but you&rsquo;d think that living for many years in the good old U.S &ndash; where the consumer is king &ndash; would make her slightly more appreciative of the golden rule &ndash; &lsquo;what you see is what you get&rsquo;.</p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve all been duped at some stage haven&rsquo;t we? We&rsquo;ve all arrived at hotel rooms chosen from brochures that promise us &lsquo;a paradise on earth&rsquo; only to find out it&rsquo;s anything but. And while your heart may sink and thoughts of a dream vacation may rapidly diminish, you can&rsquo;t help but begrudgingly admire the trickery of the photographer and his wide-angled lens. I&rsquo;m sure that pictorial misrepresentation goes on all over the world. It&rsquo;s just that Thailand never seems to think there&rsquo;s anything remotely underhand about it.</p>\n<p>If I could give out an award for the worst offender, then let&rsquo;s engrave the name of Swensens ice-cream parlours on the trophy right now. The vast gulf between the photographs on the menu and the stark reality of what gets delivered to your table is almost beyond words. That&rsquo;s not to say Swensens ice-cream products are not enjoyable; they&rsquo;re just always a huge disappointment. Can that thing sitting in front of me with a plastic spoon sticking out really be the same as the item on the menu with its lush maraschino cherry, the jelly beans, the lashings of chocolate sauce, the American flag &ndash; all fighting for space in a glass vessel you can barely hold with both hands.</p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve had it in for Swensens ever since a couple of years ago, when they introduced a devilish creation called &lsquo;Mars and Me&rsquo; - two halves of a Mars Bar lain lovingly atop a double scoop of rich chocolate ice-cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Yes I know it&rsquo;s not very imaginative and I know it would usually only appeal to a seven-year-old but you see, I&rsquo;m a glutton for such small pleasures, particularly if they&rsquo;re made of chocolate. I just couldn&rsquo;t wait to sink what teeth I&rsquo;ve got left into it. But what&rsquo;s this? Two scoops of rich chocolate ice cream, a sprinkle of chopped nuts, and unless I&rsquo;m very much mistaken, the two halves of a two-fingered Kit Kat? Glory be. Call the waitress over. I need a word.<br />&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s the bloody Mars bar?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Sorry sir.

It\'s always a very challenging situation for me because they invariably arrive with two \'new best friends\' and new best friends always want to see everything that this magnificent city has to offer. Over the years - and in the company of several husband and wife couples - we\'ve been to the Grand Palace five times, Wat Arun on probably half a dozen occasions, and we\'ve spent more time at the POW cemetery in Kanchanaburi than a world war two historian. We\'ve bought T-shirts in Mahboonkrong, had trousers altered in Central Chidlom and stood in more rooms in Jim Thompson\'s House than probably even the silk king himself ever did. But all good things come to an end. I waved them a tearful goodbye at Suwanabhum airport on Saturday morning and hung up my tourist guide\'s cap for at least another year.</p>\n<p>What these family visits give me is the opportunity to get out there and see Bangkok through a tourist\'s eyes. I mean instead of moping about my house in Samut Prakarn and shouting at the the garbage-men for leaving litter on the drive-way. It\'s nice to remind yourself what the capital has to offer for the package tourist on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation or perhaps the jet-lagged traveller on a two-night stopover. Anxious to ring the changes this year - and because Ma and Pa were staying fairly near the river - I was determined to finally get to grips with Bangkok boat travel. Not the mad boats that ply the smaller canals but the glorious vessels that chug up and down the mighty Chayo Phrya river. As both a non-swimmer and someone who listens to far too many stories of people falling into polluted Bangkok waters, I\'ve made avoiding boat travel one of my missions in life. Perhaps it was time to conquer the fears that had built up inside me for so long. One glance at a decent Bangkok map tells you that moving four elderly people around on water is always going to be preferable to organising two metered taxis and instructing the driver to \'follow that cab - and don\'t you dare stop at any gemstone shops\'</p>\n<p>BTS Saphan Thaksin is definitely the place for all things nautical. Just a few short steps from the river (follow the tourist throng), you can catch all manner of cross-river ferries and tourist express boats at one convenient location. For the real skinflints you can even hop a shuttle boat to one of the lavish 5-star hotels on the other side Then you can wander around the hotel lobby to waste a bit of time and jump the shuttle boat back. But for those not comfortable with \'cheating the system\', the normal Chyao Phrya express boat will take you all the way to Nonthaburi (a journey of some 45 minutes) for just 15 baht. It must be the world\'s greatest travel bargain. Even more so if you\'ve ever harbored a perverse desire to see Nonthaburi.</p>\n<p>I felt like a whole new world had opened up to me. To see Bangkok from the river is to see Bangkok at its very best. Old colonial buildings with immaculate lawns stand side-by-side with dilapidated factories and the ramshackle corrugated iron lean-tos that belong to the capital\'s forgotten river folk. Nothing gives you a more varied and exciting taste of Bangkok than a quick trip up river. And as you drift and bob at each of the thirty pier stops between Saphan Thaksin and Nonthaburi you see suburbs of the city you didn\'t realise existed. There are numerous riverside restaurants you make a mental note of sampling and old forgotten temples that even those with the severest cases of \'temple burnout\' wouldn\'t mind exploring. Take a boat up the river - you\'ll be glad you did.</p>\n<p>Hats off to Ayutthaya</p>\n<p>We decided to spend a day in Ayutthaya and journey there by train. I quickly came to the conclusion that this old capital city is somewhere I\'ve sadly neglected. Firstly it\'s just a couple of hours from Bangkok and secondly it really does have some lovely attractions and georgeous old ruins. My wife can\'t remember the last time she set foot in Ayutthaya. That\'s nothing short of criminal because it\'s a delightful city with so much to offer. But first a word or two about train travel.</p>\n<p>My word, hasn\'t Hualampong Railway Station changed over the past few years? All I could remember from my visa run days were grubby people sifting through garbage bins and overweight women selling dubious-looking chicken-on-a-stick. Now Hualampong has embraced the KFC / Black Canyon Coffee Shop era and waiting for your train is more enjoyable for it. You don\'t even need to look for the information booth these days. In front of the computerized ticket office, there are smartly dressed staff armed with all manner of timetables and leaflets, who are not only a mine of information but deliver it in impeccable English. Now that\'s what I call progress! How far we\'ve come from the run-down information desk with \'back in five minutes\' scribbled on a piece of cardboard or a bored-looking female clerk who when quizzed about the platform number for the Chiang Mai train would often give you a choice of three.</p>\n<p>One thing I still don\'t understand is the disparity between the price of a second-class ticket and a third-class ticket to Ayutthaya. Second-class tickets get you a numbered seat in the filthiest air-conditioned railway carriage imaginable featuring crud-covered windows you can barely see out of and all the mosquitoes you can swat. You do get an unappetizing complimentary meal served in a polystyrene box but it hardly justifies the cost of over 300 baht per person. Third-class travel on the other hand is a mere 20 baht per person and you get to sit in a far cleaner carriage with windows open to let in the country breezes. Not only that, but in third-class you experience by far the most enchanting aspect of train travel in Thailand, namely the sellers who walk up and down the aisle dispensing ice-cold drinks from plastic buckets and beef jerky with sticky rice. Trust me - third-class travel wins hands down.</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure who\'s responsible for the tourist authority in Ayutthaya but he / she deserves to be shaken warmly by the hand. One of the more disagreeable aspects of travelling by train (or bus for that matter) in Thailand is that moment when you disembark and find yourself besieged by half the local population - all wanting to take you somewhere in their preferred mode of transport, be it car, jeep, open-sided truck or go-kart - and all for a price of course. I\'ve always found it a most distasteful activity to start negotiating schedules and itineraries the moment you step from a train. You always try to project an air of \'I\'m in control so don\'t be quoting me over-inflated prices sunshine\' - but the local knows he\'s got you. You\'re a stranger in a strange town. Exit the station alone and all you\'re going to be doing is negotiating mile after mile of hot dusty road flanked by tyre service bays and Suzuki dealerships. The unofficial tour guide has got you well and truly over a barrel.</p>\n<p>In Ayutthaya, they\'ve handled the problem very well indeed. There\'s a large notice-board on the station platform displaying clearly the names and photos of all licenced tour guides and drivers. The guides themselves are kept off the station giving you ample time to compose yourself and pay a quick visit to the station loo. Once refreshed you\'re ready to tackle the tour guides head on. We approached a young gentleman by the name of Pong and he gave us a straight deal at 200 baht an hour for three hours. He was polite and courteous and spoke excellent English. He took us to all the usual temples and ruins and a few I hadn\'t been to before. It really was a marvelous few hours spent in his company and not once did he attempt to steer us towards a tourist scam. After the trip, I was only too happy to sign and write a testimonial in his notebook. Well done Ayutthaya!</p>','','2008-05-21 16:48:16',1,'2008-05-21 16:48:16','2009-07-13 21:09:17'),(228,10,'chatting with the natives','chatting-with-the-natives','How long you ever go Thailand before?','I think it\'s a terrific idea to send students out as part of a class project and get them comfortable with talking to foreigners.

Usually part of a class project, the English teacher gives students a questionnaire and asks them to prowl shopping malls and tourist areas to find willing \'foreign victims\' to provide the answers. This is not however to be confused with the bunch of commission-driven idiots who stop you near BTS Asoke and ask you how long you\'ve been in Thailand and where you\'re currently staying. Their objective is solely to get you to into some nearby 5-star hotel where hopefully you\'ll part with hard-earned cash for a membership scheme entitling you to a double room three weekends a year and half a dozen buffet lunches.</p>\n<p>I was approached on Saturday morning in Central Bang Na Shopping Mall by four very polite schoolgirls. Firstly, having taught a bit myself, I know how much courage it can take to ask a foreign stranger if they\'ll answer a few questions - especially one being dragged around the shops by his wife and now taking five minutes rest to ease his nagging lower back pain. My expression must have conveyed all that and more. But suffering aside, I\'ll always take the time out to answer carefully and even correct any grammatical errors in the questions. I\'ve never worked out whether or not students appreciate me putting my teacher\'s hat on at times like this but I guess old habits die hard.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never really taught students of this delicate, impressionable age nor have I ever set students the task of \'harassing\' foreigners while they go about their daily business but I do get so irritated by the questions themselves. On Saturday morning, the girl who had been chosen by her friends to enter the dragon\'s lair and engage me in conversation, put the ten questions in front of my face and said \"can you answer these?\"<br />I asked what school they were from and what nationality her English teacher was. The school I must confess I\'d never heard of and their teacher was apparently a Thai lady. That might go some way to explaining why the first question was \"how long have you ever go to Thailand before?\" and then moved to \"what is your phone number?\", \"what is your e-mail address?\" and ending with the utterly bizarre \"what about Thailand?\" Well, what about Thailand indeed?</p>\n<p>Perhaps I shouldn\'t interfere and bring the occasion down, but I can never just answer the questions as best I can and let the students walk away happy thinking \'mission accomplished\'. Before you know it I\'ve whipped out a biro and I\'m making corrections and explaining verb tenses. All in the middle of a busy shopping mall. I may be coming at this from the wrong angle but isn\'t this their teacher\'s job? I wanted to know what they stood to learn from letting me read the questions on the clipboard instead of holding it away from me and relying on their spoken English. I was also interested in what they were going to do with my e-mail address and phone number? And finally we worked out that \"what about Thailand?\" would be better phrased as \"what do you like most about Thailand?\"</p>\n<p>I think it\'s a terrific idea to send the kids out and get them comfortable with talking to foreigners.

The oppressive humidity hits an annual low, the traffic can be considerably lighter, especially towards the end of the month, and there are often lighter teaching schedules for Bangkok chalkies. Then why is it the one month of the year I probably look forward to least and feel at my most morose? The answer is of course - Christmas and New Year. It\'s a period of time to get misty-eyed and nostalgic and experience the unwelcome burden of homesickness. You\'d think it would get easier after living eighteen years in Thailand but let me tell you it doesn\'t. I was fortunate to be brought up by parents who always did Christmas up right and made it a magical time of year for us kids. Decorating the tree, pulling crackers over the Christmas turkey, watching an old John wayne movie on Xmas eve, and jostling elbow-to-elbow with last-minute Xmas shoppers. I loved every single minute of it. Even the relatives who I didn\'t particularly like, who would drop by on Boxing Day for a \'small snifter\' Every moment is still a cherished memory.</p>\n<p>I think teachers are divided into two camps at this time of year. Those who say \'bah humbug\' and continue working as usual, and those who make a token effort to recreate the festive spirit in the comfort of their apartments - as difficult as that may be.

After years of treating December 25th as \'just another day\' I now find myself with a house and a wife and I do everything possible to recreate some of the memories from those childhood Christmasses. It\'s tough though. There\'s something very weird about decorating a Christmas tree when it\'s ninety degrees and blazing sunshine outside, and there\'s a definite sadness about watching your partner open a modest pile of presents and then have to rush off for another day at the office. I make the usual Christmas Day phone calls to Mom and Dad, my brother, my three aunties, and my only living grand-parent. They\'re always pleased to hear from me but they too seem to be going through the motions. It\'s almost as if once the children have fled the nest, the magic of Christmas is gone forever.</p>\n<p>But at least they cook a Christmas dinner. I gave up on mine years ago. I\'m not one for stuffy hotel dining at 2,000 baht a head complete with hordes of screaming kids and besides, I\'ve had some bad experiences in Bangkok down the years. One year stands out in particular when my wife and I (we were not married at the time) walked the length and breadth of Sukhumwit Road popping our heads into every hotel to see who did a Xmas lunch. At every single establishment we were told to come back at 6 \'o\' clock. But I wanted a Christmas dinner now! To cut a long story short, we ended up in the Hard Rock Cafe in Siam Square and got the last two seats next to the toilets. Between mouthfuls of turkey and cranberry sauce, we got to watch a steady procession of males emerge from the bathroom wringing their hands and doing up their zippers.</p>\n<p>Christmas can be an endless source of conflict in private language schools between teachers and Thai staff or management. Basically the teachers don\'t want to work and the Thai staff do. It starts off as a casual \"are we going to close at Christmas?\' asked by a teacher in the first week of November, and then leads to a threatened strike by the middle of December. I\'ve found from experience that Thai management will often succumb to teacher pressure and close their doors for a day or two but it\'s often done begrudgingly. Students very often cancel classes anyway so in some cases it\'s not a big issue. However, to finish with a brief and not particularly funny anecdote, I was working at a private language school in the early 90\'s and every teacher (and there were a good fourteen of us) was adamant that he / she would not work on December 25th. Well, all except one - the teacher that needed the money. There\'s always a teacher that needs the money. And work he did. We gave him the keys to open and lock up and he came in to work on Xmas day to teach five hours while the rest of us walked up and down Sukhumwit in search of a turkey dinner.</p>','','2007-12-08 16:55:34',1,'2007-12-08 16:55:34','2009-07-14 14:02:35'),(230,10,'Apartment-hunting','apartment-hunting','Looking for digs and the hell of the lower Sukhumwit','I\'d been all over the internet in an attempt to compile a list of suitable locations.

It\'s something I hadn\'t done for nigh on eight years, but I\'ve got my folks coming over for a month in January and the instructions were simple - find us an apartment for no more than 30,000 baht a month. Oh and make sure it\'s near the sky-train line. And a swimming pool would be nice as well. Piece of piss I thought. I\'d only ever looked for stuff in the 5-10,000 baht bracket so with a 30,000 baht budget at my disposal, I\'d probably have a deposit slapped down within half an hour. Oh how wrong you can be.</p>\n<p>I\'d been all over the internet in an attempt to compile a list of suitable locations. Some websites I even got redirected to three times. It\'s amazing how difficult it is to locate independent websites amid the jungle of real estate portals and listings of serviced apartments way over my budget. It\'s even more difficult to find somewhere that will rent for just a month. A quick scour of Bangkok\'s well-known expat forums told the same story - finding good apartments near the sky-train for one month for under 30K isn\'t actually that easy.</p>\n<p>I started off on Silom Road with some internet leads in the Soi Saladaeng and Soi Convent areas. Of the three I looked at, one had a lovely garden setting, a spacious coffee bar area but pokey rooms and no swimming pool. The second ticked almost all of the boxes but was slightly over budget and had lazy-looking staff. The third one didn\'t have any rooms available so I never got further than the reception desk. However, I lucked out with the fourth choice on my list - the Shangarila Suites, in the shadow of Chong Nonsri BTS - and I told them I loved the room but in time-honored fashion \'still had a few more to see\'. Truth is I didn\'t. I headed up to lower Sukhumwit and from there my plan was just to walk up and down side-streets and keep my eyes peeled for bargains.</p>\n<p>I started off with Sukhumwit soi 15. This soi is something of a nostalgia trip for me because the Manhattan Hotel is the very first place I stayed at when I came to Bangkok on a three-week package holiday in 1988. I popped my head in just for old time\'s sake and it was refreshing to see things hadn\'t changed. It was a three-star back then and although I\'m no hotel inspector, you\'d be hard pushed to give it a better rating now. The lobby hasn\'t seen a coat of paint for twenty years and the only addition to what I remember had been the installation of a scruffy internet corner with four computers that had been just plonked there rather than arranged with some sort of thought process. The taxi mafia still plies its trade just far enough away from the main entrance to stay out of trouble with the hotel management. The tailor\'s shop touts are younger but still just as irritating, and Yong Lee is still on the corner serving up overpriced food in the dirtiest restaurant imaginable. What is it about this part of Bangkok that always puts me in a bad mood?</p>\n<p>I headed on to Sukhumwit 22 on the other side of the Asoke intersection. This is another place I have strong ties with having lived there for almost a year in the early 90\'s. From my balcony I actually watched the Imperial Queen\'s Park Hotel being built. It all seems so long ago. I cut through Washington Square and its mish-mash of badly-parked cars and dilapidated beer-bars to emerge in Soi 22 and its rows of massage shops. As far as the eye can see, if you\'re into foot massages then Soi 22 must be foot massage central. Unfortunately not that many people are on a Tuesday afternoon so you\'re left with huddles of under-employed teenage girls and middle-aged women sitting outside their respective shops with little to do other than scoff noodles and beckon half-heartedly to passers-by. I ambled a few hundred metres up the soi, more out of duty than anything else, before deciding that Soi 22 held nothing for me. Getting accosted by the taxi mafia opposite the Imperial Queen\'s Park and being told that it was senseless to walk around Bangkok put the tin lid on it. I reached the mouth of the soi and vowed never to walk on its footpaths for as long as I shall live.</p>\n<p>It\'s about now (and it could have had something to do with the heavy pub lunch at The Robin Hood) that the energy levels dropped dramatically. I\'d started off that morning with the best intentions - perhaps not a spring in my step but definitely looking forward to the day ahead - but now here I was seriously flagging. I\'d been told that sois 36 and 39 were a hotbed of apartment rentals but I shuffled up both sois with the look of a man who knows when he\'s beaten.

The purity of the air has you almost gasping for breath and reeling with dizziness. It takes a good few days to get used to it. Chilly winds and morning frosts are something you forgot existed but experiencing them once again is a sheer joy. How lovely it is to walk on organised and well-built footpaths with proper paving slabs and quality curb-stones.

It\'s great to walk in a city where the humble pedestrian is both recognized and well catered for.</p>\n<p>The biggest shock to the system is when you get behind the wheel of a car. My wife found driving in New Zealand incredibly hard to get used to. And there was me thinking that if you could negotiate the traffic in Bangkok, then you could drive anywhere in the world. Alas, it\'s not quite as simple as that. You suddenly find yourself in a world of speed limits, courteous driving at right-hand turns, motorists who signal, motorists who stick to their lanes, and heaven forbid - the dreaded roundabout, where you have to signal right and then signal left as you exit. I\'d never really though about it but Thailand doesn\'t really have roundabouts like the ones in the civilized driving world.</p>\n<p>But although there were many things I adored about New Zealand, I was glad to get back.

There are little things you appreciate like the personal service at gas stations instead of having to pump the gas yourself and spilling four litres down your trouser leg. And there are the big things you miss such as supermarket shopping. Thailand may not have the greatest selection of goods on earth when it comes to supermarket shopping but oh boy you can\'t beat those prices.

I keep telling her it\'s like riding a bicycle and something you never forget how to do, but my protests are all falling on stony ground as they say in the good book. I\'m excited about this trip because New Zealand is a place I thought I\'d never get to visit. One of my more cynical colleagues from years ago used to question why anyone would want to visit New Zealand when it\'s just like Wales only much further away. I can\'t argue with the distances. Even Australia has always seemed a ridiculously long way to go for a vacation - and yet look on a map of the Pacific Rim and you\'ll see that New Zealand is Australia and then some. It\'s a bloody long way from home! I\'ve just checked the weather stats for Christchurch and it\'s a chilly sixteen degrees with a good chance of rain. That sounds like my idea of heaven.

I hate the sinking feeling of walking into a Thai bank and just not knowing where to go or who to ask for help. You find yourself just standing there with a look of helplessness and hoping one of the staff will stop shuffling papers for a moment and take pity on you. The Onnut branch of The Bangkok Bank adopted a wonderful system several years ago where they employed a middle-aged gentleman to greet you as soon as you walked through the door. You told him what you were there for and he would direct you to the appropriate counter. It was an amazingly effective system and a godsend to any foreigner who found himself in a strange and busy out-of-town branch.</p>\n<p>Like in most countries I guess, the level of service varies significantly from branch to branch. I spend a lot of time in banks and while I always endeavor to use the branch I\'m most familiar with, it isn\'t always possible, especially if I\'m on a tight schedule. Walk into a branch where my face isn\'t known, and the teller will bring up my details on the screen and look at me as if I were Osama Bin Laden\'s right hand man. I have to clock my reflection to double-check it\'s not a day when I\'ve decided to venture out in my turban, robes and ceremonial sword. Even in a branch where I\'ve made numerous financial transactions, the staff will question my signature or ask why I\'m sending the money overseas. I know we live in times of due diligence and money laundering, but why does paying a thousand dollars into an overseas pension fund sometimes feel like I\'m funding nuclear missile tests in a remote desert.</p>\n<p>Last week I went into my local branch to buy a banker\'s draft. It wasn\'t a significant amount of money and the transaction should only involve filling out a form and waiting twenty minutes for staff to complete it.<br />\"Could I have the form for a banker\'s draft please?\"<br />The teller looked at me as if I wanted to discuss the results of her pregnancy test. She let out what I can only describe as a shriek of terror. \"Banker\'s draft cannot. Not this branch\"<br />What should follow in this situation is the suggestion of what to do next and where to go. I think in the customer service world, it\'s referred to as \'help\'. But I\'m only a customer. And a foreign one at that. She shoved the number of the helpdesk into my hand and waved me away. There\'s nothing I love more than calling a helpdesk on a Monday morning and hearing \'if you would like to apply for a credit card press 1.

It\'s frightening how the years take their toll.

The kindly bespectacled doctor who greets you with a cheery \"and what can we do for you on this fine morning?\" before it dawns on you that it\'s the only sentence of English he can speak correctly.<br />6. The middle-aged, overweight out-patient who sits in the reception area picking at her bare feet.<br />7. The glasses of cold Chinese tea, covered with cling-film and looking suspiciously like zebra\'s wee-wee.<br />8. The clapped-out TV that\'s showing a loud tranvestite slap-stick comedy routine and forcing the engrossed patients to miss their appointment.<br />9. The stick-thin 60-year old nursing sister who\'s given the job of looking after the foreigners on account of her ability to say \'this way please\'<br />10. The hospital gown cunningly designed to reveal your bare buttocks as you shuffle past the mincing queen in the X-ray department.<br />11. The registration form that takes your partner thirty minutes to fill in while you die slowly of a heart attack. Despite the hospital already having your details on a computer.<br />12. The Thai family of fourteen who have come to visit someone in hospital with a cold.<br />13. The fifty-year old farang who gets wheeled out into the reception area temporarily distracting the people from the antics of number 8.<br />14. The explanation from the pharmacist that you take the blue pills twice a day, the green ones four times a day, and the striped ones only if it\'s a full moon - and the fact that no one ever listens anyway.<br />15. The sad lonely S&amp;P franchise which sells tuna sandwiches, slices of madeira cake and tins of all-butter shortbread - the cornerstone of any good convalescent diet.<br />16.

Even though my wife and I are fairly seasoned travellers, we found ourselves spending a small fortune on songtaews and tuk-tuks - often for distances that would barely cost fifty baht in a Bangkok taxi. I can certainly see why the first thing most long-stay ex-pats do is buy themselves a \'motorsai\'. There\'s no way you could live in Chiang Mai for any great length of time and be reliant on hired transportation. The whole system is a tad confusing and very often irritating. There are two-seater tuk-tuks and the larger red \'songtaews\', with their two rows of bench seats, on literally every street corner and parked in front of every hotel and guest house, but most of those are only interested in tourists wanting to do a 100 baht or 200 baht run out to a local tourist attraction such as Doi Suthep or the Chiang Mai Night Safari. If you\'re looking to get from the central area around the Thae Phrae gate to say the train station or CM University - a journey worth 30 baht at the most - then you have to flag down a red songtaew and hope the driver is going in that direction or willing to go that way for a reasonable fee. This will then be on the understanding that the driver can pick up other passengers on the way. The whole journey has to be discussed and negotiated with the driver beforehand - and very often in pouring rain or searing heat.</p>\n<p>Chiang Mai is officially one of Asia\'s most comfortable cities to live in with its relatively clean air, an abundance of good restaurants and helpful friendly locals, but the way you are pestered by vehicle owners from the moment you land at the airport is not one of its more attractive features. Even a gentle stroll down one of Chiang Mai\'s main roads becomes an endurance test as you find yourself saying \'no thanks\' to the tenth taxi driver in as many minutes. I\'m all in favor of people touting for business but just because I stand on a street corner to take in a view or collect my thoughts, doesn\'t mean I\'m in the market for a tour around a Burmese temple and a quick gawp at some remote hill-tribe village.</p>\n<p>I\'m no economist but there are simply far too many drivers chasing too small a market. And all of them are looking to make their one big daily catch. Even at Chiang Mai bus station, there was a huge sign, clearly visible and clearly stating that a taxi into the center of town was 60 baht (and steep even at that price) However, it still didn\'t stop one opportunist accosting us as we got down from the bus to offer his services for 80 baht. When we drew his attention to the sign, he came down to 70 but we walked on, wandered a little away from the bus station and got a songthaew for 40. This high-pressure negotiation for transport is of course part and parcel of life in Asia but it doesn\'t make it any less wearisome the older you get - regardless of how long you\'ve lived here.</p>\n<p><strong>Chiang Mai\'s attractions</strong><br /><img height=\"165\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/panda1.jpg\" style=\"border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; float: left;\" width=\"150\" />I undoubtedly fall into the \'demanding\' category as far as Chiang Mai\'s attractions go. I\'ve been up and down those steps to the temple at the top of Doi Suthep more times than the head monk, and the hill-tribe experience has left me a little cold ever since I saw a hill-tribe hut boasting its very own satellite dish. I sat down in front of the hotel tour operator on the first morning and she knew within a matter of minutes that she\'d got her work cut out. She went through a great long list of options and much to her annoyance, I interjected with the occasional \'been there\', \'no thanks\' and \'done that\'. We eventually settled for Chiang Mai Zoo on one side of town and the Chiang Mai Night Safari on the other. I suspected this might amount to \'caged animal overkill\' but when it comes down to a choice between waterfalls that are probably no more than ambitious streams, opium smokers with long necks, and oh no, not another temple please! - I\'m sorry but the animals win hands down.</p>\n<p>I last went to Chiang Mai Zoo about six years ago and commented then on how it obviously needed a serious cash injection. Sadly no one seems to have dug deep into their pockets and on a low season, rainy afternoon in September, the zoo painted a pretty depressing picture. Refreshment stalls were closed and shuttered. Cages stood empty and forlorn. And most of the star attractions looked as though they\'d long given up. I swore that the ostriches and giraffes (caged together to probably save on labor costs) were nuzzling each other to hide the fact they were having some sort of secret meeting, and top of the agenda was how to get the hell out of there. For a tourist it was soul-destroying; for an animal lover it was heart-breaking. However, the zoo does have two fine pandas, and when you\'ve got pandas on your list of exhibits then there\'s always hope.</p>\n<p>As you\'d expect, the pandas enjoy five-star treatment in their own five-star enclosure. There\'s a whole army of Thai staff engaged in the welfare of these magnificent animals. There\'s someone employed to make sure the humidity is kept at exactly the right level. There\'s a woman who specializes in covering your camera flash with black sticky tape (pandas love bamboo but hate flash photography) and there are three people who look after the panda gift shop. It\'s a pity they don\'t tell you at the entrance kiosk you have to pay a further 100 baht (on top of the 100 baht zoo entrance fee) to enter the panda enclosure but every one seemed to accept it. A closed circuit TV positioned outside keeps visitors informed on what state of activity the pandas are currently engaged in - be it sleeping peacefully in their den, gnawing on sticks of bamboo, or running around playing a little baseball. I didn\'t care much because I wasn\'t going to miss the opportunity to get up close and personal with one of nature\'s rarest bears. And I\'m so glad I did. I got about as close as its humanly possible to get to a panda. Any closer and I could have tickled its stomach and Chuang-Chuang could have put a furry arm around me. I stood there mesmerized for a good thirty minutes. When you\'re a guest of the animal kingdom, this is about as good as it gets.</p>\n<p>The Chiang Mai Night Safari is a relative newcomer to the list of CM must-sees and in stark contrast to the zoo, it\'s obviously had oodles of funding thrown at it. It\'s twice the admission price of the zoo but you get very well-trained staff, spotlessly clean toilets, attractive eating areas, a lake with its own magic fountain, and an extensive, if unexciting array of healthy-looking animals. Like other night safaris around the world, the main idea is you clamber aboard an open train with small groups of excited people and do a four-kilometer circuit of dark jungle terrain. Every so often the train makes a stop and the driver shines the brightest flashlight imaginable into the eyes of some unsuspecting meerkat. There\'s a polite chorus of \'oooohs\' and \'aaaaahs\' and the train shuttles on to the next animal enclosure - this time inhabited by animals that look like a meerkat but aren\'t one.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the whole experience was ruined by a group of Chinese tourists two rows behind us. A famous French existentialist once said \'hell is other people\'. I get the impression he\'d probably been to the Chiang Mai Night Safari. They really were the most obnoxious bunch of people. The women were loud; the men were louder. We stopped in front of the lion enclosure and it became a contest to see which of the Chinese could roar the loudest. Yes, they were that irritating. I would have given anything - and I mean anything - for one of the big cats to scale the perimeter fence and indulge in a Chinese take-away - provided he left me alone of course.</p>\n<p><strong>Thai massage and the lost opportunity</strong><br />You\'ve got to have a massage if you\'re in Chiang Mai. There are massage shops everywhere, ranging from the 120 baht an hour \'mattress on the floor\' type to the up-market teak wooden house complete with gurgling fountains, aromatic candles and staff who look as though they have some idea what they\'re doing. The wife and I tried both kinds of establishment while we were there, and like anything else in life; you get what you pay for. I do like a traditional Thai massage now and again provided that the pampering is gentle rather than rough, and the massage is administered by a female under forty. There\'s nothing sexual or thrill-seeking in it, but I don\'t want to be pummeled and manipulated by a woman who looks like an extra from Prisoner Cell Block H. Or indeed by a Thai man. I don\'t care how many Wat Pho certificates he\'s got under his belt or how many years he\'s been blind. I don\'t want the back of a Thai man\'s hand brushing against me comics - accidental or otherwise.</p>\n<p>So the wife and I have stumbled on a massage shop imaginatively called \'Modern Massage\' somewhere near the Tha Prae gate. At 150 baht an hour for a traditional massage it fell into the category of cheap and cheerful. Well it was certainly cheap. We walked in and spoke to the girl sitting in the window. This is how the conversation went (in Thai);</p>\n<p>My wife: \"We\'d like a massage please. I want a one-hour foot massage and he (pointing at yours truly) wants a one-hour traditional Thai massage\"</p>\n<p>Girl 1: \"OK. You want a one-hour foot massage and he wants a one-hour traditional Thai massage\"</p>\n<p>My wife: \"Yes that\'s correct\"<br />(at this point a second girl enters the reception area)</p>\n<p>Girl 1 to Girl 2: \"This lady wants a one-hour foot massage and he wants a one-hour traditional Thai massage\"</p>\n<p>Girl 2: \"OK. You want a one-hour foot massage and he wants a one-hour traditional Thai massage\"</p>\n<p>At this point a third girl entered the picture. I\'ll let you guess what Girl 2 said to Girl 3 and then Girl 3\'s response. By now I was seriously close to killing someone.</p>\n<p>There then ensued the most bizarre conversation between the three girls as they discussed which one of them knew how to administer a foot massage. As it turned out only one of them did. As for my traditional Thai massage, none of them seemed very keen on the idea of laying their hands on me. I put it down to lack of training but you can make up your own story. As they stood there arguing the toss I so wanted to butt in and tell them that this was the kind of conversation you have out of the customer\'s earshot but the truth was I was enjoying the lesson on how to best ruin a business in just ten minutes flat.<br />This is a problem I have with so many, so-called Thai business people. They have no interest whatsoever in being successful and who knows, perhaps making a little money along the way. They\'re interested in doing enough to just survive. The two concepts are entirely different. You see evidence of the \'let\'s just survive\' mentality all over Chiang Mai. The woman in the bookshop who tells you she hasn\'t got such and such a book but makes no attempt to recommend anything else. The girl in the restaurant who doesn\'t bother to point out that having the special with coffee and fruit included will cost you just 30 baht more. The tour operator who would rather tell you where you can\'t go due to the risk of floods and not where you could go. The list is endless. It\'s not a language thing because if there\'s anything that I admire about the Chiang Mai people, at least those in constant contact with tourists, it\'s their ability to speak English well.</p>','','2007-07-24 19:12:36',1,'2007-07-24 19:12:36','2009-07-14 14:02:37'),(238,10,'Planning a trip','planning-a-trip','Scouring the internet and guide-books for the ultimate travel experience.','All I need is a decent hotel for a few days and a plan on how to while away the dalight hours.

We were lucky enough to secure return flight tickets for just 3 baht each as part of Nok Air\'s third anniversary give-away. OK, once you\'ve figured in airport departure tax, fuel surcharge, baggage charge, docking bay tax and the pilot\'s alimony payments, you end up paying about 2,000 baht a ticket, but I do love a bargain. One of the most enjoyable parts of taking a trip in Thailand (at least from my point of view) is that it gives me a chance to blow the dust off my Lonely Planet guide. Now I\'m going to be the last person to criticize a range of guides that clearly sell by the proverbial truckload but I tend to read through the LP guidebook for all the wrong reasons. While up in Chiang Mai, I\'m planning on doing a side-trip to Lampang. Although I\'ve been before and frankly the town itself isn\'t much to look at, the two-hour bus journey from Chiang Mai to Lampang takes you through some of Thailand\'s most beautiful countryside. The journey really is rather splendid. With that in mind I looked through the LP guide\'s \'accommodation in Lampang\' section. This is one of the entries</p>\n<p>\"The cheapest place in town is the number 4 guest house, a large old teak house which has gone through at least three different managers and two different names over the last six years. Rooms are basic - just a mattress on the floor - and cost about 100 baht a night. The shared bathroom facilities feature hot water but aren\'t exceptionally clean\"</p>\n<p>So basically it\'s a filthy dirty hovel with a stream of owners all looking to offload it at the very first opportunity. Now doesn\'t that sound like an idyllic place to spend a holiday or mini-break? I think it\'s just me getting older but do people still travel to Thailand and want this kind of experience? To take a shower in a bathroom that looks as though it was recently part of a multiple murder investigation? To spend all night listening to the scurry of fat cockroaches and to laze away hours on a terrace of wooden planks that look as though it might give way at any time sending you hurtling into the stagnant pond below? I can never work out whether the descriptions in LP guides constitute a recommendation or a warning. Why don\'t they come right out with it and tell you you\'ll wake up with mosquito bites on your mosquito bites and probably wooden splinters sticking in your bum.</p>\n<p>I\'m not one for the five-star hotels it must be said. I have no interest in going to Chiang Mai and \'dressing for dinner\' or sitting at the bar ordering cocktails with silly names, but I do like a certain level of comfort. I enjoy filling in a proper registration card and having my bags carried to the room. I love fiddling through the TV channels and watching Forrest Gump for the 127th time or X-treme skateboarding from Venice Beach. What\'s a mini-break without laughing at the prices of the goods in the mini-bar or working out which of the little bottles in the bathroom contain shampoo, conditioner and laundry detergent? And the amazing thing is that these mid-range hotels as I like to call them, often cost just a few hundred baht more than the grubby fleapits. I suppose it\'s all about horses for courses, but while others are unrolling sleeping mats to keep them safe from the perils of the grubby 100 baht-a-night mattress, I\'m sitting on the bed watching Oprah Winfrey with the air-conditioning going full blast and the remains of a bland chicken and cashew nuts courtesy of late night room service.

The fun usually starts about thirty minutes before the VIP arrives, when you notice a sudden surge of police activity. Pedestrian bridges and walkways instantly become no-go areas, choppers hover menacingly overhead, and an eerie silence seems to descend on the city. You half expect someone to shout \"run we\'re all going to die\" which is the signal for a Tyrannasaurus Rex to come rampaging down Sukhumwit Road or at the very least some sort of tidal wave. These monthly occurrences have niggled me down the years not just because anyone who isn\'t in possession of a crackly walkie-talkie is viewed as a potential suicide bomber, but it gives the chance for humble security guards and junior police officers to turn into God. Young uniformed security staff who have guarded the entrance to a particular building for years, and who have saluted you smartly as you breeze past, suddenly turn into your worst enemy. It\'s almost as if their recognition of you gets completely erased from memory. Just as you attempt to enter a building, they\'ll block your way and give you the wagging index finger - a gesture I find deeply annoying at the best of times.

Call me old-fashioned but I like my computer technicians to look like computer technicians - and not \'bits of kids\' to borrow one of father\'s favorite expressions.

She got off her chair with some considerable effort and gestured towards a display case with two webcams in it. I asked her a few questions - none of which fell into the category of \'searching\' - but her product knowledge was unfortunately zero. Well she did know that the two items on display were webcams - I\'ll give her that. I shot her a look of exasperation and told her I\'d look elsewhere.</p>\n<p>The second shop had about eight shop assistants all fighting for space behind a counter barely big enough for two. It was like watching an I.T version of Twister. Eventually one of them plucked up the courage to ask what I was standing there for and produced the only webcam the shop sold - a snazzy-looking Logitech affair priced at a rather ambitious 1500 baht. I quite fancied it to be honest but I wasn\'t parting with that sort of cash unless I had a demonstration first. The sales girl (again about 17 years old) looked as though I\'d asked her to run naked around the shopping mall shouting \'look at me I\'m a goblin\'. She summoned the only male employee (as far as I could see) and he muttered under his breath as he realized testing the product involved taking it out of its plastic packaging and heaven forbid - downloading a driver. First of all he had to find a computer. This in itself was no mean feat. He eventually dragged an old laptop from some dusty recess and spent the next twenty minutes battling error messages and resisting the obvious step of turning to me and saying \'sorry the thing\'s knackered\'. Losing patience rapidly, I leant over the counter and told him the item clearly didn\'t work. He gave me a long convoluted answer about my computer at home being much better than his (how the hell would he know?) and I would have no problems at all setting it up.<br />\nI told him that in the world of computer software, there are two choices - something either works or it doesn\'t. I turned and fled.</p>\n<p>At the third shop things began to look up. The sales girl was almost old enough to vote and ride a motorcycle, so my hopes were high. However those hopes were dashed when she told me that they didn\'t offer a free demonstration, but if I paid for the goods first I could then have a demonstration and if the webcam wasn\'t functioning properly I could get a refund. This would actually be terribly convenient because I would theoretically be already standing in the fucking shop. Can you get your head round that? No, neither could I.....and left.</p>\n<p>I was by now more than willing to return home minus webcam, because I could see my poor long-suffering wife starting to receive the brunt of my anger (as the dear angel usually does) but for one last throw of the dice, I approached one of those dreadful \'accessory stalls\' that are piled high with plastic CD cases, funky mouse-pads and blank DVDs and serve no great purpose other than to block up the center aisle and make the whole place look a mess.<br />\n\"Webcam?\" I enquired, with more than a hint of impending disappointment. The lady behind the counter (and she was a lady) leapt from her stool, plonked a 500 baht webcam on the counter for me to examine, clicked a button on her computer where she already had the same model of webcam rigged up, and within seconds I could see myself on the monitor, waving and pulling faces in glorious real-time technicolor. I whipped out a 500 baht note, bid her good day and left a happy man. You see - selling things to the general public isn\'t really all that difficult is it?</p>','','2007-06-28 19:21:48',1,'2007-06-28 19:21:48','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(240,10,'Office blocks and Starbuckian','office-blocks-and-starbuckian','If you can\'t get into the elevator there\'s always a Starbucks','I think the menu board refers to a large-sized coffee cup as \'tall\' or \'grande\' or something equally pretentious.

Frankly speaking, I spend a lot of time here. The building, which adjoins the World Trade Center shopping complex, was apparently derelict and unfinished for several years when contractors suddenly run out of cash, but with its polished, shimmering steel and glass facade and a Starbucks on the second floor, it\'s now blossomed into one of the capitals premier office locations. And you can\'t call yourself an office building these days unless you have a branch of everyone\'s favorite coffee chain, a tiny Boots chemist with just enough room for one customer and a slightly effeminate shop assistant , and a place to buy overpriced fruit smoothies. </p>\n<p>The WTC Office building also has the most complex elevator system imaginable. The first step in the journey from ground floor to desired floor involves approaching the information desk. Depending on the time of day, the desk is either manned by three young ladies who I\'m convinced are all pre-op \'ladyboys\', or two male security guards who are memorable only for their total lack of English and their navy blue uniforms that are six sizes too big. I think the ladyboys come on duty at 8.00am - give or take fifteen minutes because I\'m sure it would ultimately depend on how long they spend applying make-up in the bathroom. Once at the information desk, you tell the staff the number of your destination floor and receive an electronic card that allows you to go to that floor only. To get this electronic card you have to exchange it for a form of identification with your picture on it. Hand the staff something like your Blockbuster Video card or just a plain business card and they positively revel in the opportunity to throw it back at you. When you eventually get hold of the electronic elevator card, you have to walk over to the row of elevators and scan it against a card reader. A visual display then tells you which elevator to use, be it P,Q,R,S or T. Only that particular elevator will take you to your desired floor. Sounds like a recipe for disaster doesn\'t it? Well, you have two distinct groups of elevator-user: those that work in the building and are as you\'d expect, au fait with the whole system, and then there\'s the rest of us. The rest of us spend twenty minutes getting in the wrong elevators, going up to the wrong floors, and then trying to find someone who can explain how the damn system works. For a first-time visitor or perhaps a motorcycle messenger who isn\'t the brightest bulb in the marquee, it\'s a wonderful way to start the day.</p>\n<p><b>The language of Starbuckian</b><br />\nLet me go back to the topic of Starbucks coffee shops if I may. To tell the truth I\'m not their greatest fan, but like so many others, I can\'t start the day without my regular intake of caffeine and very often Starbucks is the only choice at 7.00 in the morning. I\'m convinced the worst thing you can do is \'get known\' at any particular Starbucks branch. I don\'t even have to bark my order at them, because they know me as the \'medium-sized cappuccino\' guy. I\'ll approach the counter and the cheerful assistant will say \"good morning sir, medium cappuccino?\" and that beaming smile will light up her face. Thankfully she stops short of addressing me by name because even as it is, it\'s a level of cheerfulness and bonhomie that I just can\'t handle at such an ungodly hour of the morning. You\'ll notice how I refer to the drink as a \'medium-sized\' cappuccino. I think the menu board refers to it as \'tall\' or \'grande\' or something equally pretentious. I refuse to get drawn into using that strange \'Starbuckian\' language. The words small, medium, and large have served us well for centuries and if I\'m the last man defending them then so be it.</p>\n<p>While I was waiting in line recently, I noticed a rather fetching pastel-colored Starbucks mug, which would have matched the color scheme of my kitchen very nicely indeed. It was displayed on those shelves where they plonk all the other Starbucks paraphernalia such as bags of coffee beans, placemats, coffee grinders and tins of after-coffee peppermints (you know what I\'m talking about right?) I gasped aloud at the price ticket affixed to the bottom of the mug. 290 baht. I put the mug back on the shelf with a slight whimper and even picked up a second mug to make sure someone hadn\'t had a mishap with the labeling gun. They hadn\'t. 290 baht was the price and that\'s simply outrageous. This is the major problem I have with Starbucks. Does the guy who decides the prices of their goods ever set foot in the real world? Does he not know that 85 baht for a quiche pie the size of a ten-baht coin is pushing it a bit? Does he not realize that no drink, no matter which mountain slope in Columbia the beans have been picked from, is ever going to be worth 120 baht? And yet you can sit in Starbucks for just half an hour and see a constant stream of middle-class Thais and ex-pats, grabbing a coffee and a snackette, and not once baulking at having to hand over twice Thailand\'s minimum daily wage for the privilege. As I\'ve said, I go there for my early morning medium-sized cappuccino and some days I might even take a quick peek at the complimentary Bangkok Post if that irritating Japanese fellah hasn\'t got to it first. The other stuff - the peripheral stuff - the coffee grinders, the booklets on the history of Brazilian coffee-growing, the mugs and the environmentally-friendly t-shirts - can all fuck off.  </p>','','2007-05-20 19:26:27',1,'2007-05-20 19:26:27','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(241,10,'May I look in your bag sir?','may-i-look-in-your-bag-sir','McDonalds cafes and MRT security','Don\'t ask me how these two got mixed up together either.','<p><b>McDonalds cafe</b><br />\nHow wonderful to see that everyone\'s favorite corporate clown has seen fit to bring the McDonald\'s Cafe concept to Bangkok. I\'d previously been to their cafes in Hong Kong and Singapore and was suitably impressed. I\'m delighted to say that the newish McDees cafe at the Erawan intersection near Central Chidlom is every bit as good. It\'s an oasis of early morning peace and tranquility where you can relax on a Mcsofa and savor the delights of the sausage burger or perhaps even a blueberry muffin. I\'ve become quite a regular here, and at 6.20 in the morning there\'s usually just me and a handful of bleary-eyed counter-staff. The breakfast menu is extensive, the coffee is decent and the staff are charmingly incompetent, but it just adds to the charm of the place. There\'s one girl who\'s my particular favorite on account of the fact that she seems unable do anything right. I\'ve watched her warm cheesecake up in the microwave, spill coffee all over a customer\'s tray, and spend thirty minutes wrestling with newspapers and gripper rods. When it comes to adding up 70 baht for a coffee and 45 baht for a chocolate chip muffin it\'s like watching someone try to split the atom. Heaven knows what she\'s like under pressure as the day gets busier. And it does get busier. I was so enamored with my first morning visit that I decided to pop back later in the day for a strawberry sundae - and psyche myself up for the rush hour sky-train journey. My word, how things change. There wasn\'t a spare seat to be had. The place was over-run with schoolchildren. I skulked away hands in pockets and adjourned to the vastly inferior Burger King about a hundred yards away. It was the same story there - hordes of pig-tailed schoolgirls doodling on exercise books and copying each other\'s homework. I realize this might be a tad controversial but don\'t you think a law should be passed stipulating that once school-kids finish school at 3.30 or whatever time it is, they are by law, required to go straight home immediately. Let\'s take it a step further and say that failure to do so would result in a small fine or perhaps a black mark on a school attendance card. Or someone could just shoot them.</p>\n<p><b>May I look in your bag sir?</b><br />\nIsn\'t it weird - not to mention a little unnerving - that security checks become more and more lax the longer stories of terrorism stay off the front pages of local newspapers? I\'m talking about the checks made on our bags and briefcases as we enter Bangkok department stores, office buildings or descend down into the capital\'s MRT system. Security was beefed up all over town after a series of explosions in late 2006 and on New Year\'s Eve itself, but with thankfully nothing major to report this year, we\'re slowly getting back to normal. But is that what\'s supposed to happen? The security guards are still there at the entrance to every MRT station but to call their barely cursory glance into your computer bag a \'security check\' is just plain absurd. I have a laptop case with three separate compartments. I\'m no expert on these matters but I would say any of them is spacious enough to hold an explosive. I walk through those MRT security checks and open whichever compartment I fancy. The other day I just waved my bag in the air and they motioned me through. What\'s all that about? Is it because I\'m in a shirt, tie, and business slacks rather than sandals and a flowing white robe.  Perhaps I don\'t look the sort. At the Emporium Department Store they\'ve given up altogether. The guards used to check your bag carefully and then attach a brown baggage tag to it. You were then free to wander around the store without fear of suddenly being wrestled to the ground in the bedding department. When was the \'red alert\' situation called off? and by who? And more to the point - why did nobody tell me? </p>','','2007-04-05 19:32:21',1,'2007-04-05 19:32:21','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(242,10,'A restaurant and an ancient village','a-restaurant-and-an-ancient-village','A place to eat and a place to visit','This week I went to the Ancient Village in Samut Prakarn and had a meal at the Great American Rib on Sukhumwit.

Get off at Thonglor BTS and walk to the mouth of soi 36, where there is a large group of motorcycle taxi-drivers. Any of them will deliver you safely at the front door for a ten baht fare if you say \'Amelikan Lib\'. If you ask for the \'Great American Rib\' then God knows where you\'ll end up - just don\'t come crying to me.<br />\nOnce at the restaurant, you can sit outside under the twinkling fairy lights (which although hot is far superior to the characterless air-conditioned indoor section) and feast on their incredible \'platter for two\' - which includes shredded pork, spare ribs dripping in barbecue sauce, spicy chicken, home-made cornbread. mashed potato and corn-on-the-cob. Go hungry - but just don\'t go at 6 \'o\' clock in the evening as the wife and I did yesterday. You\'ll get what I call the \'watching eyes\' syndrome. It\'s that awful situation when you and your partner are virtually the only diners in a restaurant and the place has far too many waitresses - all with nothing to do. I kid you not, we had fifteen waiting staff (I counted them) watching us, monitoring us, waiting for a sign, a subtle gesture, that maybe my plate wasn\'t big enough or my ice-cubes were the wrong shape. Is this something that\'s unique to Thailand I wonder? For me it\'s one of the great downsides of dining out in Thailand.  </p>\n<p><b>The Ancient Village in Samut Prakarn</b><br />\nIf you’re ever in the position of having to show relatives or friends around the city and you’ve done all the tourist-guidebook favorites like The Grand Palace and Chatuchak Market, then Muang Boran, The Ancient Village, in Samut Prakarn is a little gem to impress your visitors with - especially on that difficult fourth or fifth day when everyone’s had their fill of shopping and had enough temples, monks and scented joss-sticks to last them a lifetime. The ancient village is in essence a pleasant theme-park with a rather fine collection of scaled down historical buildings and structures depicting architecture from the four corners of the kingdom (now how’s that for a bit of guide-book speak) For those in an energetic mood, it takes a good 2-3 hours to walk around the park, but walk around is only something barmy farangs tend to do. You certainly won’t catch the Thais doing that. They sensibly choose to drive around the circuit in their air-conditioned Toyotas, stopping off for the occasional photo shoot or to get their laughing gear round some barbecued pork or some chicken and sticky rice. But to do The Ancient Village on four wheels is to miss the very essence of what this scenic and memorable tourist attraction has to offer.<br />\nA word of advice – go on a weekday when you’ll probably have the whole place to yourself. The weekends often see hordes of badly-behaved overweight schoolchildren all holding competitions to find out who can scream the loudest and generally be the most obnoxious. The park authorities also provide bicycles (and I use that word in its loosest possible terms) for those with cast-iron backsides and for those who don’t mind feeling like they’re part of a circus act. The last time I visited Muang Boran, I must have test-ridden about 20 different machines before I found one with wheels that went in the direction I wanted them to. </p>\n<p>I can’t conclude a section on Muang Boran without having a little moan about the double-pricing tariff when you buy your entrance ticket. Foreigners pay approx 300 baht (which includes the comedy bicycle) - Thais pay a lot less. And that’s the way it is. I know this is an issue that many foreigners get hot under the collar about. Let\'s just say that depending on your character you can either shrug your shoulders and tell the ticket-sellers how many world wars you fought in….or you can go off and write pompous letters to the Bangkok Post.

In my quest for a new job, Vietnam featured on the \'possibles\' list. <br />I had already visited both countries some six years ago, so I knew more or less what to expect. My expectations were broadly confirmed: both countries have been going through boom times, proof of which can be seen in the multitude of new hotels and construction sites that dot all major cities and the improved road networks that make travelling and transport much easier.\n<p>Neither country is as evolved as Thailand, which boasts a superb road network and well-organised public transport system. In Vietnam, the major transport arteries running from North to South consist of just a two-lane motorway and a single-track railroad. Although the main road has been improved considerably, it still sports a zillion bumps and potholes, making travel all but a relaxing experience. Most of Cambodia\'s roads have been paved and are great, especially when compared to the dirt tracks of a decade ago. The only section on the tourist trail which hasn\'t been finished yet lies between Siem Reap and Sisophon. When travelling by bus or car, be prepared to undergo a three-hour long vibro-massage.</p>\n<p>This column will mainly focus on Vietnam. Would I ever want to work in Vietnam? Absolutely not. There is no way whatsoever anyone could convince me to work in Vietnam. Although the country has a lot of beautiful sights, many interesting tourist destinations and is relatively cheap to live and travel in, not once did I feel the urge to inquire about job opportunities or settle down there. On the contrary, at times I pondered cutting our stay in Vietnam short and move on to its neighbour. The main reasons for my discontent were the constant hassle from hawkers and taxi drivers (esp. cyclos and motorcycle taxi drivers) compounded by the horrendous traffic situation.</p>\n<p>Traffic is probably bad wherever you go in Vietnam, but in major cities it is an absolute nightmare. Ho Chi Min City (aka Saigon), Vietnam\'s economic hub, has a population of more than eight million people and a mind-blowing five million motorbikes circle its streets. Motorbikes have become affordable to almost everyone, not just because of the higher purchasing power of Vietnamese workers, but because cheap Chinese motorbikes have started flooding the market and started selling like hot cakes the last few years. Five years ago, only good-quality Japanese motorbikes were available costing a few thousand dollars; now, cheap but unreliable Chinese bikes go for as little as 400 dollars, thereby putting a purchase within just about anyone\'s reach and literally clogging most streets of HCMC.</p>\n<p>Crossing the streets as a pedestrian is often tantamount to attempting suicide in Vietnam, and driving a bike yourself is only recommended if you are a retired stunt driver. Although there must be some official traffic regulations, nobody seems to follow them. The unwritten rule seems to be that everyone is allowed or even supposed to drive recklessly and aggressively but should try to avoid crashing into all the other madmen out there. The result of all this for the sightseeing tourist is that although there are quite a few interesting sights, often the only way to reach them is by taxi or tourist bus; consequently, many sightseers don\'t even bother at all and stay in their hotel rooms or the nearest bar.</p>\n<p>In smaller cities such as mountain town Dalat or seaside town Nha Trang, renting a motorbike is daunting but still doable if you avoid rush hour. It is also a good way to explore the more rural Vietnam at your own pace and get away from the organised tours that sometimes make you feel as if you\'re on a cattle truck. Make sure to wear a helmet and drive aggressively though or you\'ll get nowhere. I tried to brave the local Mad Maxes and even rented a bicycle and motorbike a few times; in HCMC though, I wouldn\'t have used one if they were free.</p>\n<p>Although public transport in Vietnam has evolved for the better, tourists are still guided towards the convenient tourist buses going from South to North (or vice versa) and stopping in the most important tourist destinations (aka Open Tour). Overnight trains are also popular as well as domestic flights for the travellers wanting the see the whole country\'s highlights in a week or less (madness if you ask me). Public buses and passenger vans are abundant but unpopular with tourists. We only used a van once, to get from the border at Lao Bao to Hue.</p>\n<p>A big Ford van picked us up near our hotel, we got in and got two nice seats in the back. The van was only half full and we thought it would be heavenly to travel in such comfort. Our opinion of public vans changed slightly when twenty minutes and a dozen stops later, no fewer than 24 people had been crammed into the 16-seater van. As you can imagine, there wasn\'t an inch of room to spare and we got to know some fellow passengers more intimately than we ever wanted to. We decided to stick to big buses from then on.</p>\n<p>Food and accommodation are satisfactory and plentiful. In many places, air-conditioned rooms with (unnecessary) hot water shower, fridge and cable TV can be had for as little as 10 dollars; double or triple that in prime locations or two-star local hotels. Although Vietnamese food is varied and tasty, the tourist trail now seems to have more pizza joints than authentic and affordable local restaurants, which is really a shame. I\'d rather forsake culinary globalization altogether.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t get to know any Vietnamese personally, but if I was asked to describe them, I would say they are ambitious, industrious and creative; unfortunately, I suspect they are also rather insensitive and flexible with the truth. Queuing or awaiting their turn are alien concepts to them. Not unsurprisingly, they have a very different world view from westerners, whom they might see as overly sensitive, fussy and downright weird. Below are some lines you might be given in tourist places and how to interpret them, and a conversation outlining possible differences between westerners and Vietnamese.</p>\n<p>How to interpret Vietnamese tourist speak</p>\n<p>Vendor: I have cheap price for you.<br />What it really means: You should be happy that I only overcharge you by 200% instead of the usual 400%.</p>\n<p>Bus driver: The bus will stop at the next corner because we are not allowed to drive in the old town.<br />What it really means: We are actually still far away from the entrance to the old town, but we are going to drop you here anyway because our hotel is just around the corner. We hope that you\'ll be too tired to go looking for other accommodation and spend the night with us.</p>\n<p>Dried fruit vendor: Please buy some dried strawberries. Very good.<br />What it really means: Please buy some lookalike dried tomatoes which I have cleverly disguised as strawberries by deliberately mislabelling them. They are cheaper than strawberries so I\'ll make a bigger profit and you\'ll probably be too far away from here when you discover it so you won\'t come back to complain.</p>\n<p>Travel agent: Free lunch is included in this day trip.<br />What it really means: Unless you order extra food at highly inflated prices, you\'ll have to share a tiny plate of fried tofu accompanied by plain rice among 10 sightseers.</p>\n<p>Travel agent: Sightseeing in the morning, then transfer to the Vietnamese border followed by a one-hour boat trip from the Vietnamese border to Cambodia.<br />What it really means: Sightseeing until 9 A.M., a 1.5-hour boat trip to the Vietnamese border followed by lunch in an awful yet expensive food shack and another four-hour boat trip to Cambodia. If we are honest about travelling times, nobody would go on this trip.</p>\n<p>Different attitudes</p>\n<p>Westerner (on a jungle trek): Be quiet everyone, there a rare sun bear ahead of us, I\'m going to try to take some awesome photos.<br />Vietnamese guide: Bears are great. Let\'s try to capture it, put it in a tiny cage, stick a catheter in its gall bladder and sell the bear bile for a bomb.<br />Westerner: That\'s horrible.<br />Vietnamese guide: I admit bear bile is an acquired taste, but it\'s good for you.<br />Westerner: No, I meant it\'s cruel and painful for the bear.<br />Vietnamese guide: Don\'t worry, cruel is not a Vietnamese word and bears don\'t feel pain.<br />Westerner: I hope you\'re joking. What\'s that noise? Look there, it\'s an endangered horn-bill. What a majestic bird.<br />Vietnamese guide: Good, be quiet so we can kill it and have it for dinner. <br />Westerner: No! I won\'t let that happen.<br />Vietnamese guide: Swell, now you\'ve scared the bird away. Oh well, we\'ll just have stir-fried porcupine and turtle hot pot then, washed down with some snake wine. Maybe there are even <br />some leftover dog kebabs from yesterday.</p>\n<p>As the end of this column approaches, I would like to apologise to all Vietnamese citizens and residents if my judgment of their country was too harsh. After all, I only spent a few weeks in this beautiful place and didn\'t get to know all the ins and outs. But then again, first impressions matter. However, I do recommend a holiday in Vietnam, although I think it would be a good idea to combine it with a more relaxing destination such as Cambodia, or even better, Laos.</p>\n<p>Let me quickly point out that Cambodia fulfilled my expectations. It hasn\'t changed dramatically and people are still friendly and make an effort to speak English to hawk their wares (their English sounds considerably better than their neighbours\' and without much of an accent). Cambodia would be a wonderful country without some of the relentless hawkers, tuk-tuk and motorcycle drivers, but I suppose they\'re just trying to make a living.

This education was a curriculum of survival. \n','<p>When the tsunami struck Thailand\'s western coastline on December 26, 2004, it left many questions scattered among the demolished buildings and natural debris. Like flotsam and jetsam, development issues bounced into light after periods of submersion. Who owned the land? How should survivors be compensated? What should be done about the villages, hotels, businesses and government buildings that had been destroyed - including schools?</p>\n<p>Caught in the net of the confusion were several small communities of sea nomads known as the Moken or Chao Ley, generically labeled as Sea Gypsies, who are believed to have Malay-Indonesian origins. It is estimated that over 3,000 Moken live on the Thai side of the Andaman Sea, but the actual population size is still subject of debate.</p>\n<p>Traditionally, Moken communities lived on hand-made boats and traveled in fleets numbering from 10-40 along the coastline of the Andaman Sea, occasionally going ashore to forage or to reside in thatched-roof huts for short periods.</p>\n<p>They lived simple but hard lives. Moken caught fish and seafood with spears and hand-made nets, and they had no need for electricity or piped water. They informally learned to make nets, carve boats, gather wild plants, preserve fish in the sun and salvage fresh water for drinking. Their traditional knowledge included where to find seafood and how to navigate the flow of the seas. This education was a curriculum of survival.</p>\n<p>However, long before the tsunami struck, the traditional Moken lifestyle had been colliding with modern development. And like jagged rocks below the surface, even schools could thrust forth as points of controversy.</p>\n<h3>The Princess Mother intervenes</h3>\n<p>The Moken community has partially settled in areas of Thailand such as Ranong, Phang-nga, Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi island and the Surin islands. However, this ethnic group has a distinct culture, religion and language that is separate from Thais - a point that became more vital after World War Two as more local Thais spread into these provinces with permanent housing, and industries such as tin-mining and tourism began to flourish.</p>\n<p>As a result of their different cultural background, Moken were rarely given Thai citizenship even when born on Thai soil. Being stateless people, Moken were unable to access many government services, which in turn denied them land ownership, medical care and education. Without Thai citizenship or land ownership rights, entire Moken communities could be legally evicted from valuable territory or chased away.</p>\n<p>It was the Royal Family that would change this practice of cultural isolation. Her Royal Highness the Princess Mother Somdej Phra Srinagarindra Boromarajajonani visited areas with Moken populations and gave family names to over three thousand people - Klatalay, Hantalay, Nawarak and Samutwari.</p>\n<p>The Princess Mother affectionately referred to the Moken people as Thai Mai (New Thai). In return, the sea nomads still refer to her fondly as Somdet Ya, roughly Royal Grandmother.</p>\n<p>Her first Royal visits took place on Ko Ko Khao in 1968 and Pak Chok in 1971. The Princess Mother also attended the opening of Surin\'s national park in the1980s and permitted Moken to continue living on the protected islands.</p>\n<p>By giving Moken family names, and recognizing their communities, it enabled them to obtain identity cards that could lead to nationality. The doors were open, in theory at least, for the Moken to live on \"Royal\" land, access medical services and obtain education.</p>\n<h3>Education struggles</h3>\n<p>The government has often viewed education as a way to integrate traditional Moken people into modern Thai society. The opportunity for some Moken children to attend formal schools, however, is not without drawbacks.</p>\n<p>Since Moken lack a written script for their language, teaching has mostly been done by verbal narrative. This made it much more difficult for Moken to adjust to the rote learning from textbooks at Thai schools. Furthermore, the Moken traditional lifestyle requires very few possessions, and their lack of money makes it impossible to buy material items such as books and uniforms.</p>\n<p>Their nomadic lifestyle has also made it difficult to obtain education. Nearly all schools are land-based stationary buildings that require students to travel to them. Classes are delivered at a set schedule each day. This has been incompatible with the Mokens\' nomadic lifestyle that is based around the ebbs and tides of the sea.</p>\n<p>The earliest schools to admit Moken children failed to retain them for long. For example, the Ko Tchat Village School on Phra Thong island was established around 1935 for 20-30 students. The one teacher at the thatched roof wooden school was never able to get them to attend class regularly and the school closed in 1957.</p>\n<p>Recent attempts to mix Moken children with local Thai students at a government Education Service Area (ESA) have often failed because students from the mainland sometimes view Moken children as subjects of ridicule and contempt - mocking them for their lack of education and inability to adapt to a national Thai identity. As a result, the retention rate of Moken children in Thai schools has remained low, and few advance to the secondary level.</p>\n<p>The high dropout rate further compounds the problem since few Moken advance to the level of becoming a teacher. Young children therefore lack role models in their own community that would encourage them to be successful in school.</p>\n<h3>Cultural tsunami</h3>\n<p>As many Moken continue to struggle for identity cards that would recognize their rights to own property and to obtain education, they must also wrestle with the fact that their traditional nomadic lifestyle is coming to an end.</p>\n<p>Thousands of households in the provinces hit by the tsunami were struck by land ownership problems. Hotels and financers filed lawsuits to legally claim valuable land to profit from the boom in tourism, which at times led to attempts to evict Moken communities as squatters. They were especially vulnerable if they had lost personal documents in the tsunami that could verify they were born on Thai soil.</p>\n<p>Moreover, some Moken have partially abandoned traditions in order to conduct trade with locals or to profit from the tourism industry. Lacking education, Moken have turned to making money by transporting tourists across the islands or selling shells and seafood that they have gathered. This has led to conflict with local fisherman and boat taxis that resent the competition.</p>\n<p>The abundance of motorized fishing trawlers in the area has sharply reduced the amount of fish that the Moken can catch, and this has also forced them to move ashore.</p>\n<p>Some of their cultural or religious practices are now in contrast with environmental conservation projects. For example, they are now forbidden to hunt endangered animals such as sea turtles in the national park or rare mouse deer on land. Restrictions have been placed on the sale of conch shells to tourists, which the Moken collect by free diving to remarkable depths.</p>\n<p>In some places, televisions can be seen glaring inside Moken households with corrugated iron roofs, while tinned food and packaged goods lay littered around their boats.</p>\n<p>Alcoholism has become a major problem, which has especially increased among Moken women whose traditional roles have changed with the stationary lifestyle. There have also been reports of gambling and theft in these communities that previously shared what few material goods they owned.</p>\n<p>Their traditional knowledge enabled many people to survive the tsunami. Moken warned others to find higher ground after predicting the killer wave. In the Takau Pa district of Phang-nga, the Moken also provided neighbors drinking water from their own wells. They also searched for bodies and survivors in their boats shortly after the wave.</p>\n<p>Many Moken felt that the tsunami had punished them for abandoning their old ways. And this made some parents even more reluctant to allow their children to sacrifice a traditional lifestyle on the sea for a concrete classroom ashore.</p>\n<h3>School projects for the Moken</h3>\n<p>In the aftermath of the tsunami an enormous amount of international financial aid poured into the country. The flood of money also came with a renewed desire to invest in education, including a number of projects focusing on Moken communities that have come to fruition this year.</p>\n<p>A German company that manufacturers knives and cookware, JA Henckels, rebuilt a primary school at Chao Thai Mai village in Phang-nga province. About 70 percent of students are estimated to be Moken. The company also contributed to the construction of the village\'s first high school.</p>\n<p>Siam Commercial Bank donated funds to encourage Moken children to return to school after the tsunami, including help with obtaining legal papers needed to be eligible for education programs in Phang-nga\'s Takua Pa district.</p>\n<p>One Non-Government Organization, Foundation for Children, took an alternative approach in 2007, providing Moken children with transportation to Thai schools and supplying breakfast even if the child had not proven Thai citizenship. The NGO helped provide special classes to Moken children at Ban Koh Lao that developed Thai language skills while taking into account Mokens\' cultural background.</p>\n<p>Even as far back as 1998, the Thai government permitted a special curriculum for Moken on the Surin Islands to give them a sense of pride in their culture. Moken students learned about the history of their tribe at the same time as studying math, science and Thai.</p>\n<p>However, Dr Narumon Arunotai, who has studied the Moken for more than a decade at the Social Research Institute of Chulalongkorn University, warns that caution must be taken before introducing education systems on these nomadic populations of the Andaman.</p>\n<p>Moken children could lose their self-esteem if too much emphasis is placed on building a Thai identity. They might feel that their own language and culture are inferior, and thus turn away from education. Dr Narumon believes that education should provide room for cultural diversity and enable Moken to develop traditional knowledge.</p>\n<h3>Between two waves</h3>\n<p>Thailand\'s government has a tough choice to make. On one hand, it can promote the tourism industry at a great expense to the Moken way of life. Beachside luxury hotels and other tourism-related enterprises generate a huge amount of revenue for the country. On the other hand, there is a moral issue of preserving the culture of a small and impoverished minority group. In this backdrop, the overriding issue is whether a balance can be created between the two - and how education can play a productive role in this effort.</p>\n<p>Jacques Ivanoff, a renowned specialist in research about Moken communities, observed that they have been able to survive by creating an economic niche while adapting without repudiating their special ethnic qualities. It remains a tight balance between traditional knowledge and the requirements of modern education. The curriculum needed for their survival has changed, and the painful fact is that Moken must learn to navigate between the two crashing waves of knowledge.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2008-10-31 20:59:14',1,'2008-10-31 20:59:14','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(260,9,'The voyage','the-voyage','William Blake waxes lyrical','My boat is older now than before.

No, really. We were awakened one sunny morning in August by an ear-piercing squawk, and life hasn\'t been quite the same since.\n<p>I must confess that I knew very little about parrots. I had an inkling they came from tropical countries but I mostly thought they were put on earth to offer companionship to lonely old age pensioners. My grandmother kept a parrot for years. It rocked gently on its perch. It looked at itself in a small plastic toy mirror. Sometimes it would sharpen its beak on a piece of cuttlefish. And that\'s how it passed the time save for occasionally being told what a pretty boy it was. Parrots in a cage went hand-in-hand with ticking grandfather clocks, boxes of snuff, tea in best china cups and a plate of assorted biscuits all four years past their expiry date.</p>\n<p>At first it was fun. The bird adopted our modest two-storey house as his new home and would entertain us by dancing on the kitchen window sill before retiring to bed in the alcove of the upstairs bathroom window. The wife and I googled &lsquo;parrots\' on the internet and found out that our new resident was indeed a moustached parakeet, recognizable by its green feathers and gorgeous pink breast but more notable for its love of making noise......lots of noise. As a piercing shrill suddenly rang out from somewhere near the front porch, the wife and I looked anxiously at each other. Little did we know of the magical times that lay ahead.</p>\n<p>It\'s well documented that parrots have a destructive streak, and after an initial week of generally acceptable behavior, our newly-acquired pet decided to flex its destructive muscle - or whatever parrots flex. He started by pecking a coating of white paint from a wall-mounted air-conditioning pipe. That damage I could live with to be honest. It didn\'t detract from the value of the house a great deal and any future house-buyers could be fobbed off by being told it was weather damage. What came next hurt a great deal more as the parrot turned its attention to the modest clothes-drying area we\'ve erected at the side of the house. A few days after the destruction of the air-conditioning pipe, I hand-washed possibly my two favorite shirts and hung them out to dry in the afternoon sun. I loved those shirts. They were two genuine Cuban Cubavera shirts that I\'d successfully bid for and won in an E-bay auction. I wore those shirts so much that they knew their way into Bangkok on their own. The following morning when I went outside to check if the items were dry, I froze in horror as it dawned on me that the shoulders of each garment had been pecked to ribbons in what crime scene investigators would probably describe as &lsquo;a frenzied attack\'. I tore the shirts from their pegs and threw them in the garbage bin. Wiping a tear from my eye, I fixed the sky with a steely gaze - \"this time it was war\"</p>\n<p>But parrots aren\'t like dogs for example. You can catch dogs in the middle of doing something wrong, give them a sharp smack on the nose, shout \"bad boy!\" and watch them flee under the nearest chair. Parrots are something altogether different. Our green and pink moustached parakeet had realized that attacking laundry was the most fun he\'d ever had. He\'d got a taste for it now. Next on the agenda were my wife\'s knickers. The parrot knew I couldn\'t stand guard over the washing line forever and the moment I disappeared into the house to watch a little TV, he silently went about his business. Fast forward an hour or two and my wife\'s underwear is in shreds. I defy any man not to get a little upset over something playfully biting chunks out of his wife\'s panties the moment his back\'s turned.</p>\n<p>The next day as I sat on the living room sofa, I heard an incredibly loud twanging noise from upstairs. It was like the sound of someone plucking an out-of-tune guitar. Either a musician had moved into the spare bedroom or the parrot was up to more shenanigans; either way the noise merited further investigation. The parrot had squeezed its way through the bathroom window pane and was now biting huge holes in the mosquito netting. I flapped my arms frantically, which was a stupid thing to do because I had him cornered and could\'ve just wrung its neck, and the bird forced itself back between the window pane and frame and flew off. As it flew away, it let out a volley of squawks. I have little doubt it was the parrot equivalent of &lsquo;fuck you\'</p>\n<p>That night, there was a meeting of the Samut Prakarn Society for the Abolition of Moustached Parakeets\'. There were admittedly only two of us present and there was just one item on the agenda - 1) what the f*** are we going to do?<br />The parrot was laughing at me. He\'d now got into the habit of landing on the kitchen window sill as I was preparing dinner. I\'d put down the kitchen knife, run out of the back door and flick him with a towel. But every time he was too quick and he\'d flutter as far as the next door neighbor\'s washing line. And from such a safe distance away, he could smirk at me and waggle the ends of both wings as if to say \"come on then. Let\'s have it\"</p>\n<p>Throughout this parrot ordeal, there\'s always been one underlying problem and I feel it worth a mention. I have always considered myself an animal lover but when it comes to being a lover of all creatures great and small, my wife has no equals. On the rare occasion a cockroach has scurried across the kitchen floor, my wife will usher it out of the back door and send it on its way with a flask and sandwiches. I\'ll generally batter it with the bottom of the nearest shoe. So you can see what I was up against.</p>\n<p>Regardless of our love for animals, something had to be done and fast. My master plan was to trap the bird in a cage - or something similar like an old sock. Then drive it out to Chonburi, or somewhere even further afield, and release it into the wild. I honestly thought the wife would go for that idea but she looked horrified at the mere mention of it. She started talking about &lsquo;loneliness\' and the only reason the parrot had taken to us was because he had no family. It takes more than walking around in holey knickers to turn my wife against animals. This was worse than I thought. The parrot had got her under its spell. Both of them were now against me. On one side I\'d got the incessant squawking, the unbearable noise while I was trying to watch the football on TV. On the other side I had the parrot.</p>\n<p>As luck would have it, while surfing the web my wife happened upon a website maintained by a group of Thai parrot enthusiasts. Further investigation uncovered the fact that Nonthaburi, on the outskirts of Bangkok, has its own little piece of parrot heaven - an aviary for tropical birds where moustached parakeets and the like can fly around all day long shrieking and shitting to their heart\'s content. Now isn\'t that far more agreeable than the great aviary in the sky where I wanted to send our bird to?</p>\n<p>The truth is that the Nonthaburi plan was never executed. We still can\'t catch the damn bird. We\'ve spent almost 2,000 baht on a beautiful wooden birdcage and it stands forlorn and empty on the front porch while the parrot flies around the house, pausing to perch on a tree branch and puff out its chest in defiance.</p>\n<p>Occasionally it will tilt its head to one side as if it\'s making a decision. Do I fancy a spot of mosquito net twanging or shall I hound that stupid guy while he makes dinner. Who knows, with a bit of luck he might even buy some more shirts off E-bay. It\'s great being a parrot!</p>\n</span></p>\n</span></p>','','2009-01-05 05:40:19',1,'2009-01-05 05:40:19','2009-07-13 21:09:20'),(472,10,'Five days in Hong Kong and Macau','five-days-in-hong-kong-and-macau','It\'s a tale of casinos, seasickness and egg tarts','Hong Kong has its amazing Chinese Food and Macau has its glittery casinos.

This was our fourth trip to Hong Kong in the last three years but the first time we\'d visited Macau. </span></p>\n<p><span></span>Macau is described in guide-books as \"a Portuguese colony famous for its casinos\" and frankly, if you\'re not into gambling, 24 hours is more than enough to take in all that Macau has to offer. Once you\'ve ambled around the main square and the ruins of St Pauls, you\'re left wondering whether 2.30 in the afternoon is too early to start drinking.</p>\n<p>We felt duty bound to take a peek inside at least one casino so we settled for the lavish and glittery Lisboa Grande. After going through the security check, you\'re hurled into a smoke-filled world of card tables, slot machines and roulette wheels - all competing to part tourists and locals with their hard-earned cash.</p>\n<p>I like an occasional bet, but up to now it\'s been nothing more than &lsquo;a few quid\' on the horses. This was taking things to a whole new level. I was immediately struck by how informal it all was.</p>\n<p>My perception of casinos has been formed largely from James Bond movies, but in the Lisboa Grande there were no dinner jackets, dry Martinis, or sultry maidens in low-cut dresses winking at you from opposite ends of the roulette table and offering suggestions on how to best to spend your winnings. The gaming crowd was a strange mix of curious tourists and Chinese housewives taking a break from the afternoon shopping.</p>\n<p>After thirty minutes spent trying to work out all the features on the slot machines (why do those things have to be so damn complicated?) I settled for a seat at a dice table. I think the game is called &lsquo;Tic-Bo\' but basically you bet on the outcome of three dice. I have quite a knack for this - or so it would seem - and a very pleasurable couple of hours passed with me taking the casino for about a thousand HK dollars. OK, it\'s not an obscene amount of money and it certainly didn\'t arouse suspicions from the casino &lsquo;heavies\' but it was a lovely feeling to come out on top.</p>\n<p>Macau is just a one-hour ferry ride from the Hong Kong mainland, with little to do en route except recline your seat, enjoy the gentle swell of the ocean and doze off.</p>\n<p>I\'d read some time ago in a Lonely Planet article that the Chinese are particularly susceptible to travel sickness. This became startlingly apparent on the return leg. Opting to catch the very last ferry of the day, which left Macau at 10.30pm, the Chinese day-trippers had had all day to gorge themselves silly on free snacks.</p>\n<p>Two of Macau\'s specialties are grilled flat pork and a kind of peanut candy. Such is the competition among the food-shops in the St Paul\'s area that each of them employs a salesperson whose job it is to stand on the footpath and hand out free samples to hungry passers-by. It\'s possible to walk the few hundred yards from the main square to St Paul\'s ruins and indulge in serious quantities of pork and candy - never a good combination at the best of times.</p>\n<p>And indulge is what far too many had done. After ten minutes on the ocean, the chatter and laughter turned to tears. Every time I looked at the passengers around me, another one turned white and made a grab for the sick bag. The crossing became a 75-minute \"barf-fest\" as all I could do was sit back and listen to a chorus of retching. It wasn\'t the most pleasurable journey it must be said.</p>\n<p>When I\'m in Hong Kong, I always have to visit a fortune teller. I\'m not sure whether I believe in it but I\'m a sucker for all that tarot and palm-reading stuff. The area around Temple Street Market is heaving with Chinese fortune tellers, all promising to give you the most accurate reading for the year ahead.</p>\n<p>Most of them conduct business in Chinese but a small selection display a sign that simply says &lsquo;English spoken\' so you hover around outside their tent and go for the one with the friendliest smile and the most enthusiastic welcome. I opted for a snazzy looking lady in her mid-40s. Not quite the classic witch, but she had the glittery dress and the long flowing hair and she\'d probably messed about with the odd live toad in her time.</p>\n<p>For 160 HK$ I was given a tarot reading for health, wealth and career. Thankfully I wouldn\'t experience any major problems in 2009 although she did point out there was some risk of a car accident between February and April - time to get back on the Bangkok buses perhaps.</p>\n<p>Not wishing to be left out, my wife settled for a Chinese gentleman in the next street, who according to his colorful signage was the self-proclaimed \"Fortune Teller to the stars\" Alas, not one of the foreign &lsquo;stars\' did I recognize apart from a relatively unknown travel presenter from England\'s Channel Four.</p>\n<p>For a pricey 180 HK$, he offered a ten-minute palm reading and told my wife that this year she would experience considerable stress and pressure from her job. That sounded quite plausible. She would also go on to have two children at some stage in her life. Now he was just talking bollocks.</p>\n<p>Temple Street Market is also known as &lsquo;Men\'s Street\' because many of the market stalls specialize in items for the more discerning gentleman. One moment you\'re browsing Mao Tse Tung paraphernalia and the next you\'re confronted by more sex toys than you\'d get in a Dutch mail order catalogue, and there\'s this wizened old Chinese grandmother type sat behind lotions of all scents and flavors and dildos of all thicknesses and dare I say purposes.</p>\n<p>Occasionally one of her regular customers will stop by for a chat. The conversation is all in Chinese of course, but it sounds suspiciously like \"tomorrow is my girlfriend\'s birthday and by God, she\'s going to get it. Do you have anything that\'s guaranteed to inflict pain?\" To which the old woman replies \"stop messing about - how much pain exactly?\"</p>\n<p>While all this was going on, I was peering over the customer\'s shoulder deciding whether to go for the three-speed &lsquo;Exocet\' or the sleeker-looking &lsquo;Emporer of Pleasure\' and how I was going to possibly explain them to a customs officer. But I\'ll save that story for another time.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve seen the latest Woody Allen movie &lsquo;Vicky Christina Barcelona\', you\'ll be familiar with the part where Penelope Cruz asks Scarlett Johansen what\'s she\'s studying at university. When Scarlett responds with \"oh the Chinese language\" Penelope sneers and says \"why on earth would anyone want to study that? Have you ever heard two Chinese cooks arguing in a kitchen? It sounds just horrible\"</p>\n<p>I must confess that I\'m on Penelope\'s side here. It\'s probably not my place to criticize the world\'s most widely-spoken language but I\'m going to do it anyway. Eavesdrop on two fresh-faced college students on the Hong Kong subway, possibly talking about homework or which teacher they fancy, and spoken Chinese is still an assault on the ears. Is there a language that sounds more aggressive or more chaotic?</p>\n<p>When two Chinese gentleman start a conversation near you, you instinctively look skywards to see if you\'re about to be crushed under something heavy. Spoken Chinese always gives one a sense of impending danger. I wonder if there\'s a sentence in Chinese fiction that begins with \"The man from Beijing leaned forward and whispered\" I somehow doubt it.</p>\n<p>To kill some time on the fourth day, and to prove that we had other interests apart from shopping and eating, the wife and I ambled around the Hong Kong Natural History Museum. The museum had put together an exhibition on The French Revolution, and while it was very well done, I found it difficult to summon up any enthusiasm for portraits of Parisian philosophers wearing the most ridiculous outfits.</p>\n<p>Come to think of it even the prehistoric section failed to keep me entertained. After ten minutes, I\'d had enough of glass cases full of stone-age arrow-heads and fossils from the Aegeon period. All I wanted to do was get back into the discount clothes shops. Does that necessarily make me a bad person?</p>\n<p>Anyway, during the brief period spent at The French Revolution exhibits, there was a large group of about 40 Chinese tourists, all being escorted by a Chinese-speaking guide. I sat down for a moment and enjoyed the sheer occasion of being in the company of the world\'s loudest man. I have no idea whether he was prattling on about King Louis\' childhood diseases or the terror of being locked in the Bastille, but this guy was so loud it almost made your ears bleed. I wanted to go up to him, lift up his jacket to find the volume control and then slap his head a couple of times for good measure. I would have thought if there was just one place I could escape from a decibel-packed spoken Chinese onslaught, it would be a museum. Well, apparently not.</p>\n<p>The only thing worse than listening to two Chinese people engaged in heated conversation, is watching certain Chinese people eat. I suggest you avoid it entirely if your stomach is of a more delicate nature.</p>\n<p>The most popular breakfast dish in Hong Kong is congee - a sort of rice porridge with bits of meat and vegetable floating on top. In a caf&eacute; near our hotel, I did the very British thing of ordering a plate of ham and eggs but unfortunately got seated opposite an old fellah enjoying his morning congee. I\'m not sure how they do it but the knack of eating this watery rice dish seems to involve burying your head in the bowl and sucking the contents up with both nostrils. I warn you now - it isn\'t pretty. I just looked on as what little appetite I had rapidly disappeared.</p>\n<p>Being in Hong Kong on New Year\'s Eve meant we had the task of finding a suitable place to view the midnight fireworks and although over 200,000 people were expected to flock to the Kowloon harbor area, we decided this place would be as good as any.</p>\n<p>The HK police had sealed off the main Nathan Road, one of the city\'s main thoroughfares, and all roads led to the harbor for hopefully an unforgettable firework display. Our trip to Hong Kong was not without its letdowns - and Hong Kong\'s midnight pyrotechnics was certainly one of them. It\'s not that the spectacle was mediocre in any sense, it\'s just that I expected better from the nation that gave the world gunpowder.</p>\n<p>I think anyone who witnessed the opening ceremony at the Beijing Olympics would have gone with high expectations. That afternoon, back in the hotel, we\'d already seen glimpses of news bulletins showing the celebrations in Auckland and Sydney - Australia and New Zealand being among the first countries to see in the New Year - but Hong Kong disappointingly came nowhere near to putting on a show of such magnitude.</p>\n<p>Most of the 200,000 crowd seemed happy with what they got though, and a huge throng of people shuffled its way back up Nathan Road in commendable high spirits.</p>\n<p>We\'d stood at the side of Kowloon Harbor for over two hours to get a good vantage point and one thing struck me as I indulged in my favorite pastime, people-watching - not a single Chinese person was drinking alcohol. Had that been 11pm on New Year\'s Eve anywhere in Europe, you\'d have had the majority of revelers lying spark out on the nearest patch of grass or throwing up behind a bush. The rest would be walking around clutching a beer can and looking for a fight. I admired the Chinese for that because despite the absence of alcohol, they still looked as though they were having a great time. The only time you saw a can of Heineken, there was always a Westerner hanging off it.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back to the 200,000 people slowly making their way home up Nathan Road in a sensible and orderly fashion. Suddenly the happiness of the occasion was rudely interrupted by two Australian girls, who had obviously had too many sniffs of the barmaid\'s apron and thought \"I know, let\'s make complete arseholes of ourselves\"</p>\n<p>They decided the best way to do this was to start pushing and shoving people out of the way while simultaneously trying to wish everyone a Happy New Year and plant a kiss on the world\'s cheeks. When the Chinese started to look the other way - out of bewilderment and sheer embarrassment - the girls launched a tirade of verbal abuse calling everyone around them \"miserable bastards\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve never hit a woman but I would have made an exception for those two morons. The question is really this - why is it only westerners who need to ply themselves with drink in order to label something a celebration? Pass an exam, pass a driving test. Let\'s get pissed. Someone\'s retiring from the office. Whose round is it? Having a baby, had a baby, split up with a boyfriend. Come on - get it down your neck. Isn\'t it a little bit pathetic when you think about it? I mean really think about it.</p>\n<p>Let\'s talk about the bird flu. I\'ve never had it. I wouldn\'t want it. But Oh boy is Hong Kong ever paranoid about it.</p>\n<p>Warning signs are posted all over the subway trains and on many lamp-posts instructing people on how to best handle their bodily fluids. \"Please use a handkerchief\", \"Please do not spit in the ashtrays\". My personal favorite is the one that says \"if you feel unwell, then please contact a member of the security staff at the next station\". The security staff are easy to recognize because they\'re dressed up as chickens.</p>\n<p>Only joking of course but who on earth is going to do that anyway? What would happen if you approached a member of staff on some lonely isolated platform and told them you had a slight fever and your feet were beginning to turn yellow? Would you be ordered to lie face down with your hands behind your back while government officials in plastic suits seal off the area and try and scoop you up with a large butterfly net? Me? I wouldn\'t take the chance.</p>\n<p>It\'s interesting to see how the paranoia manifests itself though. On a couple of occasions, while riding the tube, I sneezed quite loudly. I mean it\'s a perfectly natural thing to do. But all around, passengers stared at me. I know exactly what they were thinking. How long has he had it? How many of his family have already died? Oh my God - we\'re all doomed!</p>\n<p>If you\'re into fashion and shopping for clothes, Hong Kong is a paradise. But I have to give special mention to the sales assistants in most of the clothes stores. I don\'t know what sort of commission they earn or what kind of training they receive, but they are brilliant at their jobs. And what a refreshing change it makes from shopping in Thailand where you have to play hunt-down-the-salesgirl simply to enquire if they have a particular shoe in a size eight.</p>\n<p>In Hong Kong, the sales assistants are nibbling at you the moment you walk through the door. It starts with a pleasant greeting and then you are left to wander around the store at leisure. At least that\'s what you think is happening. But the moment you show interest in a particular item or go and try it on, they descend on you with armfuls of stock. Perhaps something similar to the item you tried on but in a different color - perhaps a handbag that would go well with the blouse or a set of beads that would match a particular T-shirt.</p>\n<p>And it works! My wife entered one store because she &lsquo;quite liked\' a blouse in the window and emerged half an hour later with four tops and a handbag.</p>\n<p>Actually the shop assistant tried to sell her two bags, even going as far as telling her that she would hold the special discounted price of the second bag for one hour while my wife looked around other shops. So confident was she that my wife wouldn\'t find another handbag like it. Now that\'s salesmanship!</p>\n<p>The sales assistants are never pushy, they never outstay their welcome, but they recognize those buying signals and know exactly when to strike. I have nothing but admiration for them.</p>','','2009-01-14 05:52:07',1,'2009-01-14 05:52:07','2017-08-01 21:09:08'),(473,10,'The Joys of Air Travel','the-joys-of-air-travel','Things I hate about flying','Do those responsible for devising the prices of food at airports actually ever go out in the real world and see what normal people pay for everyday things?

Not just the plane journey itself, but the getting to the airport, the going through immigration, the shuttle bus from terminal to aircraft - in fact was there a single aspect of travelling by plane that I still enjoyed? In no particular order, here\'s a list of my endless moans and groans associated with air travel. I\'m sure you have your own list of favorites too.\n<p>When people store things in overhead lockers, why don\'t they store it only in the locker directly above the seat they\'ve been assigned? I\'ve noticed that if you\'re one of the last passengers to board a plane, there\'s never any room for your stuff in the overhead bin. How can the carry-on Samsonite in the locker above seat 23C possibly belong to the man sitting in 46F?</p>\n<p>Many airlines offer passengers a hot towel after they\'ve been seated on the aircraft. It\'s actually a nice welcome touch. But do stewards really have to collect the towels five minutes later with that pair of luxury length tongs and make me feel as if I\'m the guy battling advanced stages of leprosy? Just hold out the basket. Walk up and down the aisle ringing a school-bell and shouting &lsquo;cast forth thy soiled linen\' if you have to but please - lose the tongs.</p>\n<p>I hate the way slightly camp Amerasian stewards ask if sir would care for more coffee.</p>\n<p>You can have an in-flight entertainment system with 6,000 different channels, but it invariably comes down to watching an old episode of Friends, a documentary on the ridiculous amounts of money you could burn through in Dubai or a movie featuring a wholesome American family and a lost puppy.</p>\n<p>And if you don\'t want to watch TV, you can always play Super Mario Go-karting or listen to a music channel devoted to the latest from the world of Scandinavian Euro-pop.</p>\n<p>I despise in-flight duty-free shopping magazines. Does anybody sit there as the plane cruises over the Pyrenees and think \"yes, I think I\'ll buzz the slightly camp Amerasian steward and ask him if they\'ve got the Bvlgari diamond-encrusted matching watch and pendant set\"</p>\n<p>About half an hour before landing, the air-crew hands out immigration cards for you to fill in. It\'s at this moment that you realize the cheap biro you bought specifically for this task is located somewhere at the bottom of your suitcase. And you can only watch with a mix of self-loathing and inadequacy as the guy seated across the aisle whips out a gorgeous Mont Blanc fountain pen and signs the card with a flourish.</p>\n<p>If you\'re anything like me, you\'ve read the in-flight magazine, the duty free booklet and the safety card instructions before the plane has even taxied down the runway. But then comes the savior in the form of a stewardess with a trolley loaded with daily newspapers. The Abu Dhabi Times, The Mumbai Herald - the choice is yours!</p>\n<p>Many airline companies offer kiddy packs - crayons, coloring books and comics - to younger travelers to alleviate boredom during a long haul flight. Hey! What about us adults? How about six back issues of Penthouse and a newspaper in a language we understand? We\'re all in this together.</p>\n<p>Why fight to get a position right beside the baggage carousel? Is there a logic that says if you don\'t grab your luggage first time around, the ground staff has the right to put it up for public auction?</p>\n<p>Why does the captain have to come on the PA system and tell us how fast we\'ll be travelling and how high we\'ll be flying? There are no traffic cops up there, no speeding tickets - just put your foot down you gold-braided twit.</p>\n<p>\"After we\'ve flown over Hamburg. We\'ll be making a left and reaching an altitude of about 20,000 feet with a tail wind of about 45 kilometres an hour\" Hey! Here\'s the news - there isn\'t a single person on board apart from you who gives a shit. I don\'t knock on the cockpit door to tell you what I\'m going to be doing during the flight. Just get us to the place that it says on the ticket and that\'ll be more than good enough.</p>\n<p>I can never work out the toilet occupied / engaged lighting system on aircraft. I can\'t even open the toilet door most of the time. And I never want to be part of that little queue of toilet-goers that develops near the stewardess\' galley. I know I\'m not alone and this is why the first toilet inside the arrival terminal is always so horribly crowded.</p>\n<p>Even though you might be the most law-abiding person on God\'s planet, going through immigration control anywhere is always an ordeal. Why is the officer scrutinizing my passport more closely than everyone else\'s? There isn\'t really anything to worry about but all you can think of is &lsquo;Midnight Express\' <br />Nothing quite matches the terror of when the officer examining your passport engages in conversation with a uniformed colleague. It\'s probably no more than a casual chit-chat about football, the workload or how good one of them is in bed, but to you it\'s YOU they\'re discussing.<br />\"What should we do with this one?\"<br />\"I think we should take him in for some questioning in that little room we\'ve got with the water trickling down the bare stone walls\" <br />\"And then what?\"<br />\"And then possibly hang him\"</p>\n<p>No-one and I mean no-one, has ever invented the perfect travel companion. By travel companion I mean a fashionable leather travel organizer where your passport, boarding card and all that other irritating paperwork is ready to hand. No matter how many pouches, flaps and pockets you\'ve got in your &lsquo;travel-mate\', you still end up stuffing your boarding card in a jacket pocket that you\'ve never ever used before. And of course the only time to begin frantically searching for it is as you\'re about to board the plane with a queue of two hundred passengers behind you.</p>\n<p>I love the facial expression one adopts as they lift their suitcase onto the conveyor belt at the time of check-in to disguise the fact you need the strength of Samson to get it off the ground.</p>\n<p>Everyone is a better traveler than I am. I look around an airport departure terminal and most seem to take air travel in their stride. I particularly like the hippy couple - all goatee beard, henna tattoo and sweaty armpits - and the way the male pushes the female around on the baggage trolley looking as if they haven\'t a care in the world.</p>\n<p>Do those responsible for devising the prices of food at airports actually ever go out in the real world and see what normal people pay for everyday things? Because listen - were you to leave the relative safety and comfort of the airport complex, you would see that no one in the real world pays five dollars for a tuna sandwich wrapped in cellophane.</p>\n<p>There are few places you can kill time whilst waiting for a flight. The duty-free shop, particularly the fragrances section is the worst place of all, because there\'s a strange force that compels you try a squib of every after-shave and eau de toilette going. You end up with Jean Paul Gautier\'s Machismo on your left wrist, Calvin Klein\'s Man Love on your right, and Hugo Boss\'s Twilight behind your ear. No one goes around smelling like that.</p>\n<p>When was the last time you flew economy and sat next to someone who could hold a decent conversation? I seem to always get the guy who can tap into levels of sleep previously known only to medical researchers. This is the guy who\'s got the neck pillow and eye mask. This is the guy who\'s slipped on his in-flight socks and covered himself in the blanket before the crew have even had chance to pass round the dinner menus. At one point he even starts snoring. How do these people do it?</p>\n<p>Swish! I love the swish of that curtain that divides the richer people sitting in business class from you, and the rest of the rabble in the economy seats. Every time a stewardess passes from one section to another you get a fleeting, painful glimpse of what you could afford if only you were more successful.</p>\n<p>Of course, the ultimate in luxury and good fortune - if you\'re travelling in economy that is - is to have the seat next to you free. And so you go through that ordeal of wondering if the person walking towards you is the one. But no! He\'s walked right past. He\'s got a seat at the back of the plane and not next to me. Snigger. What\'s more, I can hear them closing the aircraft door. I\'ve done it! I\'m home and dry. And then the captain comes on the system to ruin your whole day in seconds. \"Ladies and Gentlemen, we apologise for this delay. We\'re just waiting for one or two late arrivals\" And then you catch sight of him - wobbling down the aisle with a 42-inch waist. Ladies and gentleman I give you Blubberman! He pauses momentarily to check the seat numbers. \"Yep, this is the one\" he says, gesturing towards the unoccupied seat next to you. Now I ask you - is there a worse feeling in the world?</p>\n<p>We all know that few passengers pay attention to the on-board safety demonstration, but they still make me chuckle. Nowadays, the steps are not only presented in the traditional fashion but also via computer-generated images on your personal TV screen. We see the loving mother placing the oxygen mask over her infant\'s face, smiling as she goes, and we see everyone queuing in commendable orderly fashion to use the life raft - \"no, after you, please\". <br />Heaven forbid that big bird does come down and has to perform an emergency landing on water, but if it does, you can bet your bottom dollar it\'ll be in the middle of The Atlantic Ocean in the dead of night with the water a bone-chilling fifty degrees below. Now I hate to say that I would be the selfish swine throwing women and children behind me in my efforts to find the nearest emergency exit but I can\'t help feeling that cometh the hour, it\'ll be the survival of the one with the biggest boots.</p>\n<p>\"Ladies and Gentleman the plane is now ready for boarding. We\'ll be boarding the plane in sections starting with rows ten to thirty\" Cue a mad rush of people rarely seen outside the opening day of a Harrod\'s January sale. Why on earth do they bother? Call me callous but I think passengers who attempt to board the plane when they clearly don\'t possess a ticket in the required section should not only be forced to go to the back of the queue, but they should also be made to sit in the hold. Who knows? Perhaps ten hours of being bumped and bruised by flying luggage might sharpen up their hearing skills a bit.</p>\n<p>No matter how many items you place in that plastic tray that goes through the X-ray scanner, there is always a five-baht coin, somewhere in the deep folds of a trouser pocket, which manages to set off the security alarm.</p>\n<p>I love airline breakfast menus. How many words and expressions is it possible to use to dress up an omelet and mushrooms? Wild baby mushrooms. Country style eggs, pen-fed Lincolnshire sausage. I can\'t tell you how sick I am of removing that foil wrapper and seeing the same old bloody omelet.</p>\n</p>','','2009-05-12 06:18:40',1,'2009-05-12 06:18:40','2009-07-13 21:09:41'),(474,8,'Interviewing Foreigners','interviewing-foreigners','Being interviewed in the street by English students','Taking to the streets and talking to complete strangers is something no Thai student would do out of their own volition. It is clear that most – if not all of them – do it because their English teacher imposed it as a mandatory assignment.','<p>During all the years I\'ve spent in Thailand and the rest of South-East Asia I have been approached dozens of times by students armed with questionnaires eager to interview me.</p>\n<p>I can only applaud this way of practising English as it provides much needed exposure to actual English-speaking tourists or residents (both native and non-native speakers) and puts students in a position where they cannot run or hide and have to use their English skills creatively in order to make communication possible.</p>\n<p>However, thorough preparation is vital for this approach to succeed, something which is often sorely lacking when Thai students go on their inquisitive tourist hunts.</p>\n<p>Taking to the streets and talking to complete strangers is something no Thai student would do out of their own volition. It is clear that most - if not all of them - do it because their English teacher imposed it as a mandatory assignment. Many teachers - including myself - often advise students to practise their English outside of the classroom.</p>\n<p>Doing so for listening, reading and writing is relatively easy, as the anonymous Internet provides a treasure trove of possibilities. Practising speaking, however, especially face-to-face conversation, is easier said than done. Where on earth do you find someone to talk to?</p>\n<p>Instead of repeating myself and summing up a list of places where there is a good chance of speaking English to foreigners, just try to remember, dear reader - no matter if you are a student, teacher or other - the time when you were at school studying a foreign language, be it French, Spanish, Chinese or Swahili; be it in London, Los Angeles, Sydney or Kaapstad.</p>\n<p>Did you roam the streets of the multicultural city you were living in with the sole purpose of finding new friends to practise your newly-learnt language with? I bet you didn\'t, for whatever reasons.</p>\n<p>I haven\'t undertaken any formal study, but I am sure that all over the world a significant proportion of language students aren\'t fluent in the language they studied, even at university level. How big this proportion is differs from country to country. I am pretty sure that there is, for example, a huge ability gap between English graduates in Sweden and Thailand - without intending to idolise the Swedes and bash the Thais.</p>\n<h3>How not to</h3>\n<p>Before giving some hints and tips on how to conduct a productive interview, let me give you a few examples of how things can go wrong - and believe me, they often do. The following scenarios should absolutely be avoided unless the sole aim of the exercise is being away from the school benches and mucking about with classmates:</p>\n<p>1/ A pair or small group of students interviewing one or more foreigners whereby only one of the students - always the strongest - asks all the questions; the others usually stand around grinning or commenting in their own language.<br />2/ Students letting interviewees read the questions they prepared for their survey.<br />3/ Students asking mostly closed questions (e.g. You like Thailand?), vague questions (e.g. What you think about Thailand?) or rather nonsensical questions (e.g. How about your holiday?) - oftentimes using incorrect structure (as in my examples).<br />4/ Talking very quietly - almost inaudibly really - with terrible pronunciation (e.g. You lie ee lai?).*</p>\n<h3>Getting started</h3>\n<p>Time to give some advice. When students interview foreigners, it is essential that they properly introduce themselves. Nobody foreigner wants to waste precious time by participating in yet another useless time-sharing survey. The introduction needn\'t be long, but should be brief, clear and honest. It could go like this:</p>\n<p>Option 1: Good morning, my name is Ploy and these are my classmates Lek and Noi. We study English and we\'d like to practise our English by asking you some questions. Could you please spare a few moments of your time?</p>\n<p>Option 2: Hi, could we ask you a few questions? We are English students at Wittaya Whatever School and we are doing a survey to practise our English. Can we ask you a few questions? It will only take five to ten minutes.</p>\n<p>Option 3: Hello, we have to interview foreigners for our English school assignment. Could you please help us by answering some questions? Nobody wants to talk to us because our English isn\'t perfect. Thank you so much for saving our lives. (fairly honest, funny but possible effective)</p>\n<p>Other variations are of course possible. Students should use language and words they are familiar with and fully understand, not just blurt out phrases they\'d never use on their own. Memorising every single question isn\'t necessary as speaking naturally is more important than sounding like a parrot. Fluency should take precedence over accuracy when speaking in a real situation where communication is the prime objective; however, interviewers should get the very basics right by asking grammatically correct questions and use intelligible pronunciation.</p>\n<h3>Possible questions</h3>\n<p>I don\'t think there are right or wrong questions as this depends on the kind of interview or survey you want to conduct. It can either be a general survey about Thailand or be more specific, e.g. targeted at tourists and tourist attractions, food, customs etc. Let students come up with their own questions first, either individually, in pairs or small groups.</p>\n<p>I prefer to do this in sequence: individuals devise a few questions, compare them with their neighbour and then move on to form groups of four or six. This way everybody will be at least forced to do some work as most groups won\'t welcome freeloaders.</p>\n<p>What follows is a short list of questions that might be used for general surveys. I don\'t recommend just handing this out to students as this means forgoing the very useful stage of making questions whereby creativity and accuracy are important.</p>\n<p>- What\'s your name?<br />- Where are you from?<br />- Which languages can you speak?</p>\n<p>- Are you on holiday in Thailand?</p>\n<p>If yes:</p>\n<p>● How long have you been here?<br />● How long do you plan to travel in Thailand?<br />● Where are you staying now?</p>\n<p>If no:</p>\n<p>● Where do you live?<br />● How long have you lived in Thailand?<br />● What\'s you job?<br />● Where do you work?</p>\n<p>- Which parts of Thailand have you visited?<br />- Which place did you like most?<br />- Do you like Thai food? What is your favourite dish?<br />- What do you like most about Thailand?<br />- What don\'t you like about Thailand? (interviewers should be able to handle criticism)<br />- What do you do to fight global warming?</p>\n<p>Most, if not all of these questions are also extremely useful for general conversation. Remember that asking questions is not only a way to start a conversation, but also to keep it going. Open questions can be used to make someone talk longer (e.g. What did you know about Thailand before coming here? Why do you like Thailand?), while closed questions will obtain specific information (e.g. Are you married? Have you had a Thai massage yet?). An effective way to keep a conversation going is by asking follow-up questions.</p>\n<p>Example: What did you do yesterday evening? (Answer: I went to the cinema.)</p>\n<p>Follow-up questions:</p>\n<p>● Which film/movie did you see?<br />● Did you enjoy it?<br />● What\'s it about?<br />● Would you recommend it?<br />● Where did you go to see it?<br />● Who did you go with?<br />● Did you see the original version or was it dubbed?<br />● How much does a film ticket cost?<br />● Who\'s your favourite actor?<br />● What kind of movies do you like?<br />● How often do you go to the cinema?<br />● How do you get there?</p>\n<p>There are many more but I think you get my drift. Students should be given similar exercises to hone their skills.</p>\n<h3>Tips for teachers</h3>\n<p>Finally, conducting great interview depends largely on the quality of preparation and the guidance from the teacher. In general, most people aren\'t born interviewers. Having good conversational skills will certainly help, but decent preparation is still needed to fine-tune interviewing skills.</p>\n<p>In this regard I can\'t help pointing out that most Thais aren\'t exactly perfectly enunciating chatterboxes - especially not when speaking English - so their choice of questions should be scrutinised before sending them into the real world in order to avoid inappropriate, incorrect or confusing questions. Pronunciation drill and exercises may be required. There are already too many conversations like \'Where you from? - How long you stay Thailand? - You have girlfriend? - What about your job? - You like Thailand yes or no? - Goodbye see you again.\' Let\'s try to get it right for once.</p>\n<p>What teachers should remember before sending their students on a foreigner-hunt:</p>\n<p>- Persuade students there is no need to be shy; most foreigners don\'t mind answering a bunch of questions if asked by enthusiastic students;</p>\n<p>- Give the assignment to pairs or small groups (maximum 4);</p>\n<p>- Avoid pairing good friends in order to limit goofing off (unless you know they are competitive and work well together);</p>\n<p>- Make sure students know that introducing themselves is important;</p>\n<p>- Let them come up with their own questions but make sure to correct grammar mistakes in an appropriate manner;</p>\n<p>- Ask for proof of interviews: tapes, pictures or short video clips of interviews (shot preferably with a digital camera instead of a mobile phone for quality reasons) are not only a lot of fun to watch afterwards, they are also very useful for post-interview correction and feedback;</p>\n<p>- Practise, practise, practise: students should practise the questions often and know many of them by heart before using them in a real situation;</p>\n<p>- Let them interview each other in a controlled, but not necessarily quiet, environment (classroom, playground, school grounds near noisy street, etc.) before doing real interviews (again, don\'t pair friends if possible);</p>\n<p>- Do a dry run: ask one of your English-speaking colleagues to be a mock interviewee so students feel the stress of interviewing a stranger (if, for whatever reason, you have been ostracised by your peers, play the victim yourself);</p>\n<p>- Help students devise a quick and easy way to record answers using abbreviations for places (e.g. BKK, CM, AYU, KCh, KSi, KSt, SUK, PHU, KRA etc.)**, languages (EN, FR, SP, CH, JA, IN, GE, KO, IT, etc.)***, countries (e.g. US, UK, EN, CH, JA, KO, Swi, Swe, GE, FR, SP, IT, AUS, NZ, IS, etc.)**** and possibly many more (food, tourist attractions in Thailand and so on); taping an interview and transcribing the answers later is also possible but involves a lot of work afterwards;</p>\n<p>- Make the whole exercise competitive by rewarding the best students;</p>\n<p>- If time and school infrastructure allow, set up a class blog or forum where students and interviewees can post messages and get in touch with each other; sending a class newsletter or survey results to interviewees\' email addresses can be another way of keeping in touch and practise report and email writing;</p>\n<p>- Remind students to thank interviewees for their time and patience.</p>\n<h3>Good luck to all.</h3>','','2017-02-14 18:38:05',1,'2017-02-14 18:38:05','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(475,8,'2008 - A Year To Forget','2008-a-year-to-forget','Another year has gone by and unfortunately it hasn\'t been one to remember','Looking at the 2008 headlines, most Thai news was bad and gloomy.

In culinary terms, if it was a meal in a posh restaurant, you\'d send it straight back to the kitchen; if it was a swig of wine, you\'d spit it right out. Academically speaking, it was a complete failure. Welcome to my overview of 2008, a recount of events as I remember them. Since I haven\'t lived in Thailand for the last four months, this overview starts worldwide, since outside of the Land of Smiles, news coverage of the Kingdom was rather scarce, apart from the airport seizures last November.</span></p>\n<p>From an international point of view, Thailand is still anything but the centre of the world. After a turbulent 2008, the Land of Smiles seems to have consolidated not only its image of a popular yet overrated holiday destination associated with paid sex and drugs, but is now also considered a land of mass demonstrations, riots and lame-duck governments. Some well-known news organisations even wondered if it was about to become a failed state and dozens of countries issued admittedly exaggerated travel warnings. The Thai tourism industry has been in dire straits lately and the outlook has probably never been bleaker.</p>\n<h3>The negative worldwide</h3>\n<p>What I think of first are the credit crunch and the ensuing global economic crisis. The financial crisis which erupted in September almost pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Without going into too much detail, the main culprits of this catastrophe were major banks who got too greedy and reckless. The catastrophe started with the US subprime crisis which had been smoldering since late 2007. Egged on by the authorities, banks had started approving home loans for just about anyone, often without even asking for proof of income or employment. No wonder many jobless Joe Sixpacks defaulted when interest rates of their teaser loans went up, so many of the bad-quality (aka subprime) loans led to foreclosures, thus sending the house market tumbling down and leaving many families stuck with negative equity (as the bubble burst, the outstanding value of loans was often higher than what the houses were actually worth).</p>\n<p>At about the same time, banks recruited an army of mathematical eggheads who invented a swath of hybrid financial instruments to get both rid of and ensure against bad risks. Nobody really understood the risks of these products and highly leveraged investments yet nobody cared as unregulated trading of these instruments had started an era of big banking profits. Doubting if all these seemingly easy profits were above-board was a non-starter for managers who were under severe pressure to maximise banking profits and simultaneously jack up their own obscene bonuses.</p>\n<p>Financial fire brigades were set up worldwide and massive bail-out packages were announced in order to douse the flames of the banking Armageddon and relieve the banks of billions of dollars of toxic assets. Yet although this prevented a global banking collapse, it couldn\'t prevent the damage from spreading to the real economy, leading to a myriad of factory closures, bankruptcies and millions of jobs lost worldwide. Even the CEOs of big three US automakers flew to Washington in their corporate jets to go begging to Congress to bail them out (US lawmakers refused to fill their bottomless pits but George W eventually filled their begging bowls).</p>\n<p>The major problem of the first half of 2008, namely runaway inflation due to soaring oil, commodities and food prices, solved itself. Thanks to the economic crisis and bumper harvests, demand for raw materials plummeted and food supplies became plentiful again, thus sending prices to more realistic levels (although I suspect consumers didn\'t always benefit from lower prices).</p>\n<p>Apart from the global economic crisis, lots of news coverage was given to the Mumbai attacks which sent India reeling in November. Terrorists killed almost 200 people at random in the heart of Mumbai, India\'s financial centre. After almost three days, all but one of the heavily armed madmen was captured alive. It seems the perpetrators of what was labelled India\'s own 9/11 were trained in Pakistan but not acting of behalf of that country. Investigations are ongoing but one can only hope this ruthless slaughter won\'t lead to a military confrontation between two nuclear-armed neighbours.</p>\n<p>The situation in Afghanistan also deteriorated significantly, leading to more foreign troop casualties than in Iraq. It is clear the country is falling yet again into the claws of the fundamental Taliban, who are not exactly the paragon of human rights and international peace efforts. In my opinion, the troubling fact is that apparently an important part of the Afghani population would actually prefer living under the iron fist of Sharia law, which prevents for example girls from getting an education and provides stoning as punishment for raped women. How can you save someone who doesn\'t want to be saved? Splitting the country into two parts - one for brain-damaged fanatical zealots and one for the all the others - is hardly feasible, I imagine.</p>\n<p>In Central Asia, Russia flexed its muscles and showed Georgia who\'s the boss in that part of the world during the Russian-Georgian war in August. It is clear that Russia, after having become an important international player again mainly thanks to oil and gas riches, won\'t let itself be pushed into a tight corner by NATO and won\'t tolerate being challenged or provoked by western-aligned former Soviet states. Contrary to many other autocratic states, the big majority of Russians adore Prime Minister Putin and his prot&eacute;g&eacute;, the newly appointed President Medvedev.</p>\n<p>Ongoing conflicts such as the Darfur debacle in Sudan, the war in Iraq, the standoff between Israelis and Palestinians and the regular skirmishes between Sri Lankan rebels and government troops are still far from being resolved but seldom captured the headlines in 2008. It seems the world - media world and audiences alike - gets tired of these endless battles. Solutions to these conflicts are also long overdue.</p>\n<p>In Africa, a new civil war broke out in the already war-torn DR Congo\'s northeastern Kivu province, where rebel troops of the Rwandan-backed (?) megalomaniac rebel leader Laurent Nkunda wreak havoc. The latter doesn\'t seem to mind allowing his bullies to terrorise and slaughter locals in order to extort direct talks with the central government it wants to topple.</p>\n<p>The former bread basket of Africa, namely Zimbabwe, was pushed further to the brink of collapse by dictatorial Robert Mugabe, even after losing a general election. Although he agreed to share power with the main opposition party of Morgan Tsvangirai, he soon reneged this agreement and his country spiralled further into hunger, despair and fatal illness as cholera broke out due to contaminated water supplies. Inflation rose into millions of percent and a 10 billion Zimbabwean dollar note (that\'s 10,000,000,000) was the central bank\'s ridiculous Christmas present to its population.</p>\n<p>The fact that in Asia the autocratic and oppressive generals of the Burmese regime illegally extended freedom icon Aung San Suu Kyi\'s house arrest almost seems benign in comparison, though it certainly isn\'t.</p>\n<h3>The negative in Thailand</h3>\n<p>Looking at the 2008 headlines, most Thai news was bad and gloomy. The political battle fought in Parliament as well as in the streets and the courts divided Thai society more than ever. Political foes, together with intolerant battering-ram organisations like the PAD (yellow shirts) and UDD (red shirts), made absolutely sure the country became even more polarised thanks to their respective hatred and reverence of ousted PM Thaksin.</p>\n<p>Thaksin\'s cronies were democratically elected, albeit with some inevitable vote-buying (nothing new there), under the banner of the PPP Party and formed a coalition government in early 2008, but the courts (instructed by his Majesty the King?) made sure their reign was short-lived. After barring PM Samak from office for the most ridiculous reason in history (hosting a cookery show on TV), a replacement PM was found in the person of Somchai Wongsawat, incredibly enough none other than Thaksin\'s very own brother-in-law. Red rejoiced while yellow was outraged; more protests and violent clashes were the logical result.</p>\n<p>The PAD (People\'s Alliance for Democracy) subsequently launched their \'new politics\' plan, in which only one third of the Parliament would be elected, while the rest was to be appointed (by whom remained unclear). They claimed that poor, uneducated farmers were too stupid and too prone to vote-buying for the good of the country. Actually, the PAD, which comprises mainly the old rich, the Bangkok elite and an assorted bunch of royalists and academics seemed royally fed up that a bunch of dirt-poor Isan farmers were able to shape the political landscape by electing populist politicians, thus undermining the status quo of Thai society in which the poor were supposed to remain poor and the rich supposed to get richer.</p>\n<p>This battle between old and new culminated in the occupation by the PAD of Government House and Bangkok\'s two international airports. The siege of Government House slowly but steadily undermined the governments legitimacy as police and army were unwilling to kick out the peaceful PAD protesters, most of which were armed with iron bars, slingshots and handguns. Moreover, the head of the army repeatedly urged the PM to resign and call elections. The airport seizures unnecessarily paralysed the country and its economy. Not only were hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists stuck for weeks, billions of dollars worth of tourism income, exports and credibility also went down the drain.</p>\n<p>Finally, a judicial coup brought a controversial way out of the morass as judges disbanded the ruling PPP Party for vote-buying (of one of their executives). The PPP government\'s coalition partners all switched sides and a breakaway faction from the outlawed PPP itself (the Friends of Newin Chidchob, an Isan heavyweight now probably wanted dead rather than alive in the Northeast), declared its sudden love for the Democrats, thus giving Democrats party boss Abhisit Vejjajiva the PM\'s job on a silver platter. Although the Democrats lhad ong coveted to be in power, I personally wouldn\'t want to be in Abhisit\'s shoes sorting out the incredible mess the country is in. If he doesn\'t tread carefully in this snake pit, his rule might be short-lived as well.</p>\n<p>In January 2008, the King\'s sister, Princess Galyani, died after a prolonged illness at the age of 84. After no fewer than ten months, she was finally cremated in an opulent ceremony lasting a whole week. Evil gossips labelled it a fine general rehearsal a possible future royal demise which might plunge the country into chaos.</p>\n<p>For teachers, 2008 wasn\'t a vintage year in the Land of Smiles either. In a possibly well-intentioned effort to enhance teacher quality, the Ministry of Education not only launched a mandatory culture course but also severely compromised the issuance of work permits by implementing new draconian and impractical requirements. Teachers without a BA in Education were supposed to sit the MoE\'s four error-ridden exams or take a costly and time-consuming training course. Rules are more complicated than they seem and might have changed by the time you read this, so check out the rest of the website for up-to-date information.</p>\n<p>Anyway, there was some major disgruntlement in many teachers\' rooms as the quality of the provided culture course and the proposed exams were all but top-notch. All this seems to have caused an even greater shortage of qualified teachers, thereby opening the door for more unqualified individuals with dubious teaching and language skills who will end up working illegally, exactly the opposite of what the MoE envisaged. I guess unscrupulous recruitment agencies are having a ball.</p>\n<p>Visa agents might see their business boom as well, as visas-on-arrival by land have now been limited to 15 days in a move to flush out people working illegally. Although the intention of this new rule might have been honourable, it not only affects border-hopping teachers and Pattaya residents but also backpackers and migrant workers from neighbouring countries, all of which spend good money in the Kingdom and help keep its economy running. The timing of the new rule certainly seems odd, given the economic woes Thailand is going through and the fact that most other countries in the region are actually relaxing visa regulations.</p>\n<h3>The positive worldwide</h3>\n<p>The Olympic Games held in August in Beijing were considered as possibly the best ever. Chinese authorities excelled at organising and coordinating the massive event and even managed to keep the ever-present smog at bay by closing nearby factories and ordering most cars off the roads. Efficient public transport and very strict traffic policemen ensured everyone got to their destination on time without bending any rules.</p>\n<p>It also became apparent that China is the new powerhouse in the sporting world, claiming more medals than ever and even humbling the mighty USA, the perennial number one. China scored medals across the board but was particularly ruthless in gymnastics. Although the minimum age for participation in the Olympics still stood at 16, some critics observed that many of the Chinese female gymnasts looked as if they belonged in primary school.</p>\n<p>Oversees reporters covering the Games were granted unprecedented Internet access and a special zone was provided for provided for protesters and demonstrators. Overzealous officials in charge made sure though that every protest permit was turned down and would-be demonstrators swiftly traced and put behind bars.</p>\n<p>Most people will probably consider the election of Barack Obama as America\'s 44th president as the most positive event of 2008. I do admit that this historic election was one of the highlights in America\'s recent drab history, yet how could they not elect the charismatic and energetic son of an American mother and a Kenyan goat herd? Electing a geezer whose age rivalled that of former Soviet Politburo members would have surely lost America the last morsel of respect it retained on the world stage.</p>\n<p>Despite an overwhelmingly negative campaign from his opponent, Barack Hussein Obama (who is not a Muslin though smear campaigns wanted to make voters believe otherwise) convincingly won the popular vote (52% vs 46%) and claimed a big majority in the electoral college (some 350 vs 170 votes). On the one hand, one could say that 52 percent of Americans finally saw the light and elected the right man for the job.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, it is quite amazing and deplorable that no fewer than 46 percent of Americans (mainly whites) still voted for the craggy John McCain, an ancient war hero who personified anything but change and who would probably have given the US four more years of the same (or definitely similar) Bush policies. More disturbing even was the fact that McCain\'s choice of running mate Sarah Palin definitely signalled a sharp shift to the right, as the self-proclaimed hockey mum quickly became an icon for the far-right, gun-toting moral majority. Sitting President Bush, on his way to become the most unpopular president ever, was conspicuously absent during the whole election campaign.</p>\n<p>Oil prices reached an unimaginable 147 dollars per barrel in July last year. Although this put strain on the economy and fuelled inflation worldwide, this price level triggered a welcome avalanche of investments into renewable energy sources and the development of clean and hybrid cars. In December, prices plummeted to under 40 dollars, thus giving the economy some well-needed breathing space but unfortunately putting the development of alternative energy on the back burner.</p>\n<h3>The positive in Thailand</h3>\n<p>This is a tough one. I suppose the fact that the new government might put the country on the road to reconciliation is positive. Ousted PM Thaksin being convicted of corruption and abuse of power is also something to cheer about, although he is still hiding in plain view abroad and it is doubtful he will ever see the inside of a Thai prison.</p>\n<p>Finally, the food is still fresh and affordable and the weather is as hot as ever. Although many destinations now have become blatant and overpriced tourist traps, there are still some nice and inexpensive places with honest and friendly people. Just read some of my other columns if you wonder where they are.</p>\n<p>Thanks for all the reactions I received in 2008. Comments and suggestions remain welcome. I wish all readers a prosperous 2009. I will refrain from making predictions for 2009 as I absolutely do not believe in fortune-telling.</p>\n<p>South-East Asia photos available on www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland. <br />The author of this article can be contacted at philiproeland@hotmail.co.uk. <br />1/1/2009</p>\n<p><span></span></p>','','2009-01-04 01:21:28',1,'2009-01-04 01:21:28','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(476,8,'The Growing Pains of the TEFL Industry','the-growing-pains-of-the-tefl-industry','My take on another ajarn.com writer\'s column','I can understand Steve\'s disillusion with someone he probably trusted and looked up to. I also think part of his criticism is justified; teachers, administrators, recruiters and policy-makers alike should question themselves and the industry they are in more regularly. I do not, however, agree with the overall image that Steve paints of the EFL industry.','<p>English is a world language. Correction, English is the world language. Although there might be more native speakers of Mandarin Chinese, Hindu, Arabic or Spanish, it should be obvious that English is the most important language of international business, tourism and the Internet. Just look around you: Japanese businessmen speak English with their Thai counterparts; Swiss tourists speak English in Mexico; Cambodian students chat in English with Brazilian cyberfriends. Whether you like it or not, being able to communicate in English has become quite important in our ever more globalised world, unless you work in an area of your country where contact with English-speaking foreigners is virtually unheard of (a remote village in central China perhaps) or are do a menial job that doesn\'t require any contact with foreign barbarians.\n<p>Keeping this in mind, it is no wonder that demand for English lessons and capable English teachers has exploded, especially with vast countries such as China opening their doors to the world. Of course, English as a school subject has been around for decades in many countries, with most of the lessons being taught by local teachers with a decent working knowledge of the language. More often than not, this approach has been quite successful, proof whereof can be found in an interesting statistic: when taken into account the number of people capable of speaking English not only as a first, but also as a second or even third language, there are more speakers of English than any other language in the world.</p>\n<p>In some parts of the world, especially Europe and former British colonies, learning English in school and becoming semi-fluent in the language of Shakespeare has been around for more than half a century. Local qualified teachers who have relevant degrees and are fairly fluent in English are usually in charge of conducting lessons and teaching pupils the four skills, with an emphasis on speaking and listening needed for oral communication. As modern course books are quite encompassing, reading and writing aren\'t forgotten either, with many curricula providing for essential contemporary skills such as email writing or skim reading. It might be important to add that most western or westernised schools adhere to the student-centred learning methodology, in which student needs and active learning are given high importance. Classroom sizes are usually manageable.</p>\n<p>In other parts of the world, especially major parts of Asia but also swaths of South America, local qualified English teachers are not as abundant. Their skills are also different: many excel at teaching grammar and reading and they often use L1 abundantly in the classroom. Let\'s not forget that many Asian schools still use the teacher-centred approach, in which the teacher acts as a lecturer and students are not supposed to participate or even ask questions. Rote learning still rules and critical thinking is not encouraged, sometimes even suppressed. Although most curricula have been rewritten to focus on communicative skills, many teachers haven\'t changed their old ways. This is because they either lack the abilities or due to other factors such as resistance to change in general (not to be underestimated), supersized classrooms and lack of support and teacher development.</p>\n<p>As a consequence, many schools have resorted to hiring foreign English teachers in order to improve students\' skills. Said teachers are often given the task of teaching conversation, something they are normally best at. Also, the fact that many students don\'t learn the necessary skills to communicate in the real world by just going to regular school has fuelled the demand for ever more tutoring schools where students study English at the weekend or after hours on weekdays. Needless to say that the whole EFL industry, comprising public schools as well as private language institutes is big business as affluent parents are willing to shell out a small fortune to make sure their offspring get a head start in their professional lives.</p>\n<p>Do customers get their money\'s worth and is this approach working? Absolutely. It is a given that most foreign English teachers - the majority of which are native or near-native speakers - are much better at teaching English (esp. conversation) than many of the local teachers. That students are exposed to different accents and real-world English is an added bonus, although I think this should not be overestimated as most English speakers worldwide are now non-native speakers; many of my Thai business students used to complain that they found it very hard to understand the Japanese speaking English (talk about the pot calling the kettle black).</p>\n<p>Moreover, let\'s not forget that in Asian societies, \'face\' is hugely important; especially parents will gain lots of face if they can boast to friends and family that their loved one is being taught by a handsome westerner. This might be the reason why customers or parents often tend to place appearance before substance: it is a fact that skin colour, age and number of teeth remaining are often more important than teaching skills or academic qualifications when looking for a teaching job. But then again, isn\'t the customer always right?</p>\n<p>Let me ask it again. Do customers get their money\'s worth and is this approach working? Absolutely not. As demand often exceeds offer, recruiters sometimes revert to hiring unqualified and unsuitable individuals posing as teachers. Background checks are non-existent or perfunctory at best. Private and public schools alike shamelessly take parents\' money and promise them English skills on a silver platter only to never materialise after. Moreover, students and parents alike often expect foreign teachers to perform miracles. They think that being in the presence of a foreigner will trigger a magical osmosis transferring the teacher\'s skills to students without the latter having to make any real effort. Schools are guilty as well when they assign huge classes and then expect fluency in return.</p>\n<p>So what\'s the deal? Do customers really get their money\'s worth and is this approach working? The above should make it clear that this depends on how you look at it. Nothing in life is ever completely black or white. The EFL industry is far from perfect. Many of the English teachers making a living in it are far from perfect. Let\'s not forget that nothing in life is ever perfect. Are students learning anything at all? I think they are, although not nearly enough in many cases. In my opinion, we should not only take into account students\' achievements when judging the efficiency of EFL lessons but also customer satisfaction - EFL is a business after all. Doing so, I think that overall, the scales are still tipping towards the positive.</p>\n<p>Last month, fellow columnist Steve Schertzer wrote a column - or rather diatribe - crucifying the EFL industry and even questioned if it shouldn\'t be completely shut down. The reason for his scathing attack was the arrest of a Canadian teacher formerly working in Thailand, John Wrenshall, involved in an international paedophile ring. In a personal twist of fate, this nabbed pedophile used to be his boss, mentor and friend while Steve was working in Bangkok. Consequently, Steve felt betrayed and thought it necessary to vilify the whole EFL industry, calling it ad nauseam a stinking, putrid corpse, apparently forgetting he has been part of this rotting cadaver for years.</p>\n<p>I can understand Steve\'s disillusion with someone he probably trusted and looked up to. I also think part of his criticism is justified; teachers, administrators, recruiters and policy-makers alike should question themselves and the industry they are in more regularly. I do not, however, agree with the overall image that Steve paints of the EFL industry. The big majority of English teachers are not unqualified backpackers, vicious child predators, chronic boozers or perverted sexaholics, as Steve claims. These do exist of course, but the generalisations made in Steve\'s column are downright insulting to a significant part of the EFL community.</p>\n<p>By the way, I\'m sure the face of the EFL industry depends on where you look. I guess there might be more pot-smoking Canadians working to pay off a student loan in South Korea. There are probably more backpacker teachers in Southeast Asia than the rest of the world combined. I also suppose that there are more horny teachers living and working in Bangkok than in any other major city of the world. The percentage of sex-addicted teachers in Bangkok probably skyrockets when marital status (single) and location (city centre) are taken into account.</p>\n<p>Steve not only seems to target child abusers in his column. Every participant in the adult entertainment industry and cosmopolitan nightlife had better beware. In Steve\'s universe, the whole local cottage industry of erotic service providers caters solely to the likes of ill-paid EFL teachers commuting to the restricted pleasure zones by non-airconditioned buses. Our reborn moral crusader has even the deepest contempt of innocent netizens who indulge in the vile act of what he calls \'beating their meat\' to Internet porn.</p>\n<p>Well, I guess if we put good old Steve in charge, self-gratification in the privacy of one\'s own home would soon become punishable by castration. Why don\'t we just shut down the Internet while we\'re at it? Steve\'s approach might be a welcome solution to the problem of overpopulation though, with possibly half the male population worldwide in danger of losing their nuts.</p>\n<p>In order to avoid gratuitous sneers, let me point out that I\'m not on the defensive here as I don\'t even have the luxury of Internet at home. I\'m just concerned about all those manufacturers of blister creams going under. Moreover, I never beat anything except for eggs and drums; and after reading Steve\'s column I wanted to beat my head against the wall. No, really, I guess I\'m just sticking up for common sense. I mean, before you know it, Steve will have all sex toys banned worldwide and put the whole of Holland behind bars. Not to mention a possible ban on the sale of alcohol to all males suspected of being employed as English teachers.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to imply anything or point an accusing finger to Steve, but wasn\'t he himself a SWM living and working in downtown Bangkok? All I\'m implying is that his perception of the typical EFL teacher might have been skewed and that the incidence of love hotel visits or child buggery is much lower among teachers who don\'t live in central Bangkok (or Pattaya); also, numbers continue to drop markedly when we include teachers who are either in a long-term relationship, married, live outside the city centre or upcountry.</p>\n<p>During my time in Thailand as a teacher and head teacher I saw, met and worked with some dubious characters. They were a small minority, however, although I have to admit this was on the outskirts of Bangkok and in neighbouring provinces. When hiring teachers, I always tried to separate the wheat from the chaff. Checking teachers\' degrees and credentials as well as schools insisting on a police background check are highly recommended, but can never rule out the possibility of unsavoury con men slipping through the net.</p>\n<p>I don\'t think any of my teachers were deviants like John Wrenshall, although I realise I can never be sure until they eventually get arrested. As far as I am aware, the most serious charges that some of my teachers were ever guilty of were smelling of alcohol or cigarettes, sporting haircuts that suggested their barber had long died or was at least chronically ill, wearing ill-fitting trousers and wrinkled shirts, applying overdoses of deodorant, delivering the occasional sleep-inducing lesson and being seen drinking energy drinks at work.</p>\n<p>Although I am fully in favour of employing the best teachers, I am not convinced that implementing ever more rigorous police checks and more stringent degree requirements are beneficial to the Thai EFL industry. If teachers, either in-country or would-be teachers, are asked to jump through ever more hoops, what was intended to keep out the riffraff might backfire and have the opposite effect. It may scare off decent teachers from making Thailand their home and drive out some of the better teachers who see this as the straw that broke the camel\'s back.</p>\n<p>Let\'s not forget that criminal background checks only verify the past, thus merely barring known and convicted criminals (By the way, does a conviction for shoplifting or juvenile delinquency carry the same weight as one for child molestation? It wouldn\'t surprise me). Also, what percentage of child molesters out there has ever been convicted is anyone\'s guess. It\'s just a gut feeling, but I suspect that the majority of abusers have escaped justice so far, thus rendering the important background checks somewhat ineffectual. I daresay it is partly the responsibility of head teachers and colleagues to expose bragging molesters; I, for one, wouldn\'t have any qualms about turning in a suspected child molester.</p>\n<p>Another solution would be the introduction of palm readings and tarot sessions for weeding out the bad apples as these techniques are virtually foolproof for predicting someone\'s future. However, as it is still illegal to fire or refuse to hire people for acts committed in the future, this is a dead end. Firing teachers for the offence of looking like potential axe murderers is also impractical since at least half of all existing teachers would lose their jobs overnight.</p>\n<p>As for the degree requirements, in a perfect world every teacher would have a Bachelor\'s Degree of Education or an MA in English (or any other required field) plus a teaching certificate (preferably PGCE or CELTA I suppose). I think it is evident that given the massive need for teachers in Asia, these requirements are not always met. In fact, in Thailand they are partly responsible - together with the criminal background checks and the massive amount of red tape - for the influx of not-so-qualified \'teachers\' who usually end up working illegally, i.e. without a work permit. Schools that pay well can afford to be demanding; schools that offer peanuts normally end up with a fair amount of monkeys among applicants.</p>\n<p>Finally, as I am a positive person, I prefer to gently point out possible defects and offer advice to remedy a situation rather than harshly criticise or condemn. This is true when dealing with students as well as teachers. Correcting a student too severely or too openly (especially in Asia) is counterproductive. I believe the same goes for observing teachers. One should point out a teacher\'s strengths first (e.g. great tie) and praise them before subtly offering some pointers on how to improve the aspects of their teaching that aren\'t perfect yet (e.g. bicycal isn\'t spelt that way). Unless they are so bad that they are beyond salvage (e.g. Elvis hairstyle) - in which case just firing them outright is the best option - I think repeated or harsh criticism doesn\'t work.</p>\n<p>I think I\'ve made my point. Although the EFL industry is still booming, it is sometimes going through rough times. However, I believe there still are many qualified and dedicated teachers who make a positive contribution to learning English around the world; they definitely outnumber the drunks and deviants found not only in the EFL industry but in all layers of society (Remember all those priests molesting altar boys? I don\'t recall any outcries for the abolition of the Catholic Church).</p>\n<p>Finally, I personally know many capable and decent teachers who don\'t deserve the foul language and blatant generalisations used by Steve Schertzer in his personal requiem of the EFL industry. Maybe Steve is under severe stress and needs a break from teaching to put things in perspective. To his credit, he was brutally honest about his feelings and wasn\'t afraid of letting the world know. I doubt if it will change anything though as I\'ve already stated that harsh criticism is usually just like water off a duck\'s back. What I find more disconcerting is that Steve seems to revel in making enemies. A professional like him should know that this won\'t get him anywhere, save a psychiatric ward.</p>\n<p>Maybe he wrote the column while he was down and out. Fair enough. It wasn\'t the first time his somber mood was reflected in his writings. I felt personally embarrassed for him while reading his latest July column. His recount of how a Filipina predator took him for a ride had me seesaw between cringing and laughing out loud. At least he didn\'t start a campaign to have the Philippines nuked back to the Stone Age.</p>\n<p>So please Steve, take a deep breath and get a grip. Stop acting like a hysterical housewife on the verge of a nervous breakdown and quit dragging all of us through the mud. See a shrink, take up meditation or become a practising Buddhist, and at least try to comprehend that lashing out indiscriminately and being pessimistic and defeatist is not going to solve any problems. Be constructive, write some \'How to\' columns rather than \'How not to\' ones. Focus on the positive, rather than keep dwelling on the negative. If I want gloomy tidings or dreary forecasts, I\'ll just watch CNN or read the latest stock market update.</p>\n<p>By the way, my column just reflects my personal opinion and was written while sober. I don\'t want to start a war of words or generate venomous discussions. In my view, the EFL industry is alive and kicking; it is definitely experiencing growing pains, but it is all but a putrid corpse although some teachers might look like living dead on a Monday morning after a heavy weekend. But then again, who notices when most of the students and co-workers behave like zombies anyway?</p>\n<p>New sets of photos from Northern Laos, Northern and Northeastern Thailand (Isaan) are now available on www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland.<br />The author of this article can be contacted at philiproeland@hotmail.co.uk. <br />1/2/2009</p>\n</p>','','2009-02-02 02:08:54',1,'2009-02-02 02:08:54','2009-07-14 16:04:55'),(477,8,'The Ideal Teacher','the-ideal-teacher','What makes the perfect teacher in the Thailand EFL classroom?','Let me point out that this list is based more on personal experience than large-scale research.

Remember that your enthusiasm and motivation will rub off on your students. For more on how to motivate students, please read one of my last year\'s columns on this topic.</p>\n<p><strong>Good at building rapport</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Try to create a bond, a harmonious understanding with your students. Promote an atmosphere of \'We\'re all in this together\'.</p>\n<p>Make it clear that your door is always open and that you\'ll listen to their problems. If students see you as someone who will help them get their heads around the maligned English language instead of an enforcer shoving it down their throats mercilessly, more learning and cooperation will be achieved in the classroom.</p>\n<p>Showing empathy is crucial for building rapport.</p>\n<p><strong>Creative</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>When teaching outside the glamour of reputable international schools, you may find yourself with limited resources - or no resources at all.</p>\n<p>Never take the use of a photocopier for granted (even when there is one it may break down once in a while) and try to make lessons worthwhile and interesting without the need to copy half a dozen worksheets each lesson to kill time.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve got absolutely no idea what to do with 40 bored and restless kids, peruse the school library (if there is one), go on the Internet and check out the countless teaching websites or create materials from scratch, based on your own experience. As for the Internet, there is a lot of good stuff out there for free; it just takes some time and effort to discover it and adapt it to your needs.</p>\n<p><strong>Discipline</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Enforce discipline on yourself as well as on your students, but do it gently.</p>\n<p>Will yourself to refuse that 17th beer on the eve of a school day, have daily showers although they used to be weekly back home, read a good book instead of going out to watch Isan damsels gyrate chrome poles.</p>\n<p>There is absolutely no need to take up self-flagellation, become a teetotalling monk or beat students\' heads against the nearest wall at the smallest infraction. Leave corporal punishment to local teachers who are much better at it and enjoy administering it.</p>\n<p><strong>Pragmatic</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Don\'t be too idealistic and think that the English classroom is an peaceful and intellectual paradise where English proficiency is the highest goal of all students. It\'s not. It\'s often a war zone, with students playing the role of brain-damaged rebels keen to undermine all the efforts of the reviled officer in charge, i.e. you.</p>\n<p>Don\'t give up too quickly and try to see the bigger picture. Even if your materials are substandard or virtually non-existent and your students all but willing participants in the classroom, there must be something you can achieve.</p>\n<p>Instead of having them memorise Obama speeches or challenge James Joyce\'s writing skills, set achievable goals. For example, make sure they can at least introduce themselves intelligibly, write a short email without scores of mistakes or count to ten properly.</p>\n<p><strong>Sense of humour</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Unless you want to establish a reputation as the driest teacher in school, have a laugh once in a while, crack a joke and enjoy at the lighter side of life.</p>\n<p>Be warned though that western humour is often very different from what locals find funny (Thais usually prefer slapstick). Telling dozens of jokes that only you think are funny will get you nowhere.</p>\n<p><strong>Well-qualified</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>A good teacher is not necessarily well-qualified and a well-qualified teacher is not necessarily good. however, qualifications are important and in my experience teachers with formal training and a relevant degree are often in a much better position to be successful at teaching english.</p>\n<p>If you think that being able to speak english means that you can teach it you are deluding yourself, so stop sending me emails asking if you\'ll find a job in thailand without a degree. You probably will but I think Thailand already has plenty of unqualified teachers without you joining the flock.</p>\n<p>Also, for visa and work permit purposes, a degree (ba) and teaching certificate (such as tefl or celta) is often required - or do you intend to join the legion of illegal workers and visa-runners - or marry your local girlfriend you met in a beer bar in a desperate attempt to secure a non-immigrant o visa?</p>\n<p>If you have a degree but have never taught, enrol in a tefl course, go to workshops, brainstorm with colleagues, ask help from the head teacher, browse teacher\'s books and resource packs but don\'t rest on your laurels because the students seem to like your lessons and the bingo and hangman games you play with them.</p>\n<p><strong>Good teaching skills</strong></p>\n<p>Whether you have your whole wall plastered with degrees or not, make sure you have good basic skills in order to teach effectively.</p>\n<p>If elicitation, seating arrangement, pair and group work, speaking prompts, TTT or PPP mean absolutely nothing to you, get on a refresher course or read a decent methodology book (such as The Practice of English Language Teaching by Jeremy Harmer or Learning Teaching by Jim Scrivener).</p>\n<p><strong>Resourceful </strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>I realise this is very similar to creative. For example, when students ask for the meaning of a word, don\'t just throw the translation at them in broken Thai (or any other L1) all the time because the odds of them understanding you are small anyway.</p>\n<p>Explain it in English first, ask them to look it up in an English-English dictionary, rephrase the definition, repeat it, mime it, draw it, use flashcards, make students guess its meaning from context. Finally, after most students have grasped its meaning, translation into their L1 isn\'t a bad thing as it will reassure them that they got it right.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t lecture</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Limit your teacher talk time as much as possible.</p>\n<p>Give students the opportunity to practise the language, to digest (the material, not their lunch), ask questions, discuss and reflect. Never just sit at your desk and read literally what\'s in the course book.</p>\n<p>I had my fair share of lecturers in my school days and I always thought \'Do these guys think we can\'t read?\'. By the way, the same goes for powerpoint presentations (with or without handouts).</p>\n<p><strong>Technology-savvy and computer-literate</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>You should at least be able to switch on a computer and operate common classrooms appliances such as overhead projector, tape recorder, CD-player and DVD-player. Knowing your way around the Internet, being able to use an interactive whiteboard, setting up a blog or website and coordinating classrooms projects online might get you a step ahead of your colleagues.</p>\n<p><strong>Patient</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Patience is really an invaluable virtue. You will often need to explain something over and over again. Try your best to find different ways to explain something. Don\'t just explain (or lecture), but demonstrate, get feedback, let students explain to each other if necessary and give them plenty of non-threatening opportunities to practise.</p>\n<p>Learning by doing is one of my mottoes. Practice makes perfect is another.</p>\n<p><strong>Punctual</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Be on time, no matter what. \'My alarm clock didn\'t go off\' is a pathetic excuse so don\'t use it.</p>\n<p>Traffic jams, heavy rainfall and stomachaches are equally non-starters. Street food has never given me stomachache or food poisoning. Maybe you should keep the arsenic safely locked up. This is really a no-brainer: never make anyone wait for you. By the way, do you like waiting for others?</p>\n<p><strong>Reliable</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>As a teacher, it is your job and duty to teach whenever you have a class. Calling in sick because you don\'t feel like it or you\'re hung over is unacceptable.</p>\n<p>If you did indeed ingest too much alcohol, at least be a (wo)man and teach with a hangover. You\'ll start feeling better in the afternoon anyway.</p>\n<p><strong>Flexible</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Schedules may change, schools may be fire-bombed, colleagues may be unavailable due to a myriad of reasons such as visa runs, \'food poisoning\', appointments at the local STD-clinic or girlfriend troubles so you may be asked to fill in for these slackers, possible for no extra pay. Just do it without too much complaining as it is an inescapable fact of life.</p>\n<p>Blaming the management is counterproductive; giving the absent loafer a piece of your mind is usually more effective.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t be a whinger</strong></p>\n<p>Moaning and groaning is part of quite a few teachers\' daily routine. My advice: don\'t do it. It\'s not going to solve any problems or improve the situation you\'re in so you might just as well keep your big trap shut as it can really get on your colleagues\' nerves.</p>\n<p>If you \'just want to get it off your chest\', join an Internet forum or self-help group.</p>\n<p><strong>Good-looking</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Some societies - or at least some of their cultural values - might be called shallow. Locals often idolise handsome, young(ish), white-skinned foreigners. This might be an unfair yet invaluable trump card for totally incompetent wannabes.</p>\n<p>If you\'re less fortunate in this department, don\'t despair. Don\'t rush to your local beauty clinic to schedule surgery with the resident quack or apply bleach to yourself as there are jobs for all of us.</p>\n<p><strong>Calm, cool and collected</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>If you\'re in a conflict situation, stay cool whatever happens (jai yen, literally cool-hearted). Smile, take a deep breath and think of an idyllic brook running through a green valley (or whatever works for you). Don\'t get all worked up, don\'t be hot-tempered (jai-rawn, literally hot-hearted), don\'t shout, don\'t accuse, don\'t point your finger to assign blame as this kind of behaviour will make everyone involved lose face, especially you.</p>\n<p>If in Asia, try never to be confrontational and understand the concept of face, which I admit is easier said than done.</p>\n<p><strong>Not overly critical</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Adopt an easy-going and care-free approach to local life. Don\'t expect things to be like you think they should be. Please realise that criticism is absolutely taboo in Thailand (and lots of other countries), unfortunately even when it is meant to be constructive.</p>\n<p>Criticising people, their customs, lifestyle or way of doing business will get you nowhere. Criticising important people might get you in court for libel or slander. Criticising the monarchy will get you behind bars.</p>\n<p><strong>Good personal hygiene</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Bathe at least twice a day and remember that perfume or deodorant are no alternatives to showering. Even if time is scarce, a quick shower doesn\'t last longer than a few minutes.</p>\n<p>Don\'t sport scruffy beards, dreadlocks, long hair or ponytails (absolute no-nos in Thailand and, by the way, completely pass&eacute;). Visible tattoos or piercings are not appreciated either.</p>\n<p><strong>Sharply dressed</strong></p>\n<p>If you\'ve no idea what this means, revisit the ZZ Top video \'Sharp Dressed Men\'. I suppose nicely pressed shirts, fitting trousers, spit-polished shoes, stylish tie and matching socks sums it up for English teachers. In some Thai schools, a shabby yellow polo shirt may be mandatory.</p>\n<p><strong>Intelligible</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>You shouldn\'t necessarily speak the Queen\'s English, but if even your co-workers have a hard time understanding you, there is a problem. In the classroom, you should speak with a clear voice and enunciate well. Don\'t speak slowly nor quickly but use a natural rhythm.</p>\n<p>Refrain from pidgin English at all times; when students don\'t grasp what you\'re saying, repeat or rephrase instead of asking slowly nonsense like \'You go Japan before, yes or no?\' as this will only give the impression that it\'s okay to use Thaiglish, Singlish or other local versions of English. Unless when dealing with advanced students or on purpose, avoid idioms and other colourful language that may impede communication.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t smoke</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>It\'s a fact that increasingly more parents and students insist that teachers don\'t smoke.</p>\n<p>Although I am absolutely against smoking myself, forcing teachers to kick their dirty habit is a delicate matter.</p>\n<p>Paying customers (who are always right) often argue that smokers - even when not smoking - emanate a pervasive and repulsive smell they don\'t want to be subjected to. I guess they are partly right, although employing non-smokers only is somewhat impractical and in many countries possibly illegal.</p>\n<p>When asked about a teacher\'s habits, I usually quip that none of my teachers smoke when they are inside the classroom.</p>\n<p><strong>Abstain from binge drinking and illegal drugs</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Although you might argue that you are free to whatever you want in your free time, this should not interfere with your work-related activities. Smelling of alcohol or pot while on the job is inadmissible. If the damage is done, use strong chewing gum or plenty of deodorant (still better than calling in sick), but don\'t think for a minute this will fool the sniffer dogs at work.</p>\n<p>Let me stir up some controversy and question if we - in our role as educators - are really free to do as we please when off duty.</p>\n<p>Just put yourself in the shoes of a concerned parent. Would you want your kids to be taught by someone who is hammered on a daily basis, prefers a dose of magic mushrooms to a wholesome dinner and keeps the adult entertainment industry in business?</p>\n<p><strong>Respect local customs</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>\'However daft they may seem to you\' should be added here. Remember that when you\'re a long way from home, people do things differently. They may say yes when they mean no.</p>\n<p>They may smile when they are angry. They may waste perfectly good food to ward off imaginary spirits. They may think it\'s cool to wear childish clothes well into their 40s. They may think it\'s okay to insult you in your presence (e.g. calling you fat or pig-faced).</p>\n<p>They may expect you to join them to get plastered every day after work. They may think all foreigners are barbarians yet try to emulate them at the same time. They may think a successful marriage is based on money and deceit. They may keep the indoor temperature at 16 degrees Celsius but moan and groan (and put on thermal underwear) when the outdoor temperature drops below 18.</p>\n<p>Just make sure to prepare and adapt yourself if necessary (read a \'Culture Shock\' book if available).</p>\n<p><strong>Thick-skinned</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Local culture can be very different from your own. Whereas calling someone \'fatso\' or \'slaphead\' might trigger a fatal stabbing or at least a severe thrashing in the west, in some countries it is just a way of life. Don\'t start crying or make a big deal out of it when your students - children and adults alike - blandly state you are fat (although your relatives back home might be impressed with your recent weight loss) or ugly (although some local ladies insist you\'re a handsome man).</p>\n<p><strong>Realistic</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Set yourself a number of personal and professional goals, but don\'t overreach. If you plan to teach in a developing country, you might earn less than where you came from. Don\'t start arguing that \'You\'re worth at least 4,000 dollars in New York\' or \'You could make that much flipping burgers at home\' when you\'re applying for a teaching job in upcountry Thailand.</p>\n<p>Remember that the cost of living is usually much lower so you should still be able to have a good life and put some money aside. At work, don\'t expect students to become fluent within weeks. Set realistic and achievable goals.</p>\n<p><strong>Speak English</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>By this I don\'t mean that your English should be of a high standard, which is self-evident, but that you should speak it in the classroom as much as possible during an English lesson. This seems to be especially difficult for those teachers who speak the students\' L1.</p>\n<p>Many but not all of these teachers are locals who don\'t seem to have no qualms about conducting a whole English lesson in Thai. Don\'t short-change your students this way as it will prevent them from ever achieving decent communicative skills.</p>\n<p>Students need to be exposed to the language they\'re learning. Don\'t use L1 in the classroom before exhausting all other options first.</p>\n<p><strong>Country of origin</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>It is a fact that most schools prefer to hire native speakers.</p>\n<p>In my opinion however, being a native speaker of English is far less important than all the other criteria mentioned above. Let\'s not forget that more than 90 per cent of English teachers worldwide are locals.</p>\n<p>Actually, expecting every English teacher to be a native speaker is mathematically impossible. As long as a teacher\'s language and teaching skills are up to par (which, I admit, isn\'t always the case, especially in Thailand), it doesn\'t really matter where they are from.</p>\n<p>Native speakers might be great at teaching conversation and offer more natural and authentic speech, but since most of the English conversations worldwide now take place between non-native speakers, this is no longer the advantage some claim it to be.</p>\n<p>Some readers sent me emails asking if there are opportunities for either non-native speakers or degreeless teachers in Thailand. If you weren\'t born in the right country, just have a look at the above list and see if you think you\'d qualify. The same goes for \'teachers\' without a degree.</p>\n<p>Finally, as an ideal teacher you realise that no human being in the world possesses all the above-mentioned qualities. Therefore, you understand that nobody\'s perfect and, as a result of this convoluted logic, you don\'t exist.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-06-02 17:19:31',1,'2015-06-02 17:19:31','2015-06-03 07:07:32'),(478,8,'Making The Move','making-the-move','How to prepare yourself for life in Thailand','In this month\'s article, I\'ll address some issues that may worry adventurers pondering a move to Thailand to become an English teacher and give some practical advice that might come in handy either before or after the move.','<p>Thailand is not only a popular holiday destination, it is also a country many foreigners want to live and work in. However, giving up your life in the west to move halfway around the globe and take a leap into the unknown is evidently no small feat. Uprooting yourself - and possibly wife and kids - from a country you may have lived in since birth takes careful consideration and preparation in order to avoid bitter disappointment down the road.\n<p>It will come as no surprise that most people making this life-changing move are single (or happily divorced) without children. Even then, giving up your accustomed surroundings, friends and worldly possessions in pursuit of a more fulfilling life-style is no split-second decision - or one made when under the influence. In this month\'s article, I\'ll address some issues that may worry adventurers pondering a move to Thailand to become an English teacher and give some practical advice that might come in handy either before or after the move.</p>\n<p>If you\'re still in the safety of your western home, the first thing you need to ask yourself is whether you are really sure you want to travel to the other side of the world in order to pursue a teaching career - because realistically speaking that is about the only job for which there is a big demand for westerners - and live a long stretch of time in a foreign culture. This decision should never be made just after a fantastic, fun-filled beach holiday in Thailand, where your only daily worries were limited to what to have for lunch and which bar to patronise at night. If your desire to move to the Land of Smiles is mainly based on your urge to see your summer sweetheart again, you\'d better let your infatuation cool off a few months in order to avoid rash decisions you might regret forever after.</p>\n<p>Once you\'ve made the decision to take the jump, it\'s time to get organised as you\'ll have lots of things to do. Quitting your job (if any) and giving notice to your landlord probably top the list. Informing friends and family, selling your furniture (and possibly car) and getting rid of stuff in general are not to be underestimated either. I feel that if you\'re really committed, it\'s better to go for a clean break as putting things in storage or filling up your parents\' attic only results in unwanted bills and mountains of dust. Moving all your stuff around the world could cost more than it is actually worth. If you\'re a tenant, subletting your dig to friends may seem a good idea at the time, but once they call you for every minor problem or skip town unannounced you\'ll wish you hadn\'t. If you\'re a home owner, get in touch with a trustworthy estate agent who manages rental properties.</p>\n<p>It is probably easiest to make the move to Thailand when you\'re single, live in rented accommodation, are fed up with your job, don\'t consider friends and family to be of monumental importance, and are quite familiar with foreign cultures. It is a plus, but not essential or foolproof, that you\'ve visited the country beforehand. Previous teaching experience and relevant qualifications will also give you an important edge. If your employer allows you to take a sabbatical with the option to get your old job back, don\'t think twice. If you don\'t have the resources to scout your final destination beforehand or are already planning a possible move back home before even taking off, it might be a good idea idea not to burn all your bridges and have some kind of pull-out scenario in place should things not work out.</p>\n<p>Please understand that the above profile is flexible. If you don\'t fully recognise yourself in it, don\'t start being miserable and put all your plans on hold. Strong motivation can be an excellent substitute for lack of whatever you\'re short of if you don\'t fall into the \'perfect candidate\' category. However, if you\'ve never set foot abroad, have never travelled independently, have a hard time making friends, thoroughly dislike exotic food, get homesick easily, are not used to taking the initiative and need your hand held most of the time, then I wouldn\'t bet the kitchen sink on you bringing the house down in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Anyway, let\'s suppose you do want to move to the Kingdom no matter what. You\'ll have to save some seed money first in order to pay for a round trip ticket and organise your job hunt once you\'re on the ground. You should be aware that applying from overseas is virtually a waste of time unless you\'re PGCE qualified and have teaching experience in your home country. You\'ll need some nice clothes (which can be acquired quite cheaply in Thailand) and money to get a place to live and buy some essentials (I\'m not referring to a wide-screen plasma TV here but to ordinary stuff like bed linen, pillows, a fan, an electric kettle and possibly a fridge).</p>\n<p>Airfare and emergency cash included, you\'ll ideally need a minimum of 3,000 US dollars before making the move. This amount is not set in stone but only a guideline; I estimated airfare at USD 1,000, emergency cash at USD 1,000 and initial expenses at USD 1,000. This is supposing you don\'t want to find yourself in a faraway land forced to take up a career as a beggar or bum; I am also assuming you don\'t want to pester your family at home into sending you money every other week or build a reputation as freeloader among your newfound local friends and colleagues. If you plan to do a TEFL or CELTA course before starting your Thai teaching career, make sure to have another fistful of dollars handy.</p>\n<p>Don\'t forget that once you have arrived in the Promised Land, you should hunt for a job before settling into an apartment as you don\'t want to get stuck in endless traffic for your daily commute. This means that you may have to stay one to four weeks in a hotel or guest house before moving into a more permanent place, depending on the success of your job hunt (by the way, if you still haven\'t found a satisfactory job after a month, I\'d start planning the return leg). Get yourself a local SIM card - available on just about every street corner - so that possible employers can contact you easily. Get streetwise in your new surroundings. Know that metered taxis, Skytrain and subway are often the easiest and cheapest way to get to an unknown destination timely without arriving drenched in sweat. This is no time to start saving a few baht by using non-A/C buses or walking several kilometres to your next interview in the sweltering heat.</p>\n<p>Once you have successfully landed a job, start looking for a place to live. Inner city places near good transport links might save you a lot of time but usually come at a considerable premium. Although Skytrain (BTS) and underground (MRT) are difficult to beat when it comes to getting around easily, they are rather limited in range. Many areas outside of the city centre have comfortable vans and buses going into the belly of the beast, so unless you are addicted to the adult entertainment zones in downtown Bangkok, taking up a job on the outskirts of Greater Bangkok is definitely worth considering. I wouldn\'t dismiss jobs further afield out of hand simply because of the absence of either Skytrain or underground. As taxis are cheap, the money you save on rent will more than likely surpass your monthly taxi fares.</p>\n<p>Try to get accommodation near your workplace or at least within a reasonable distance of the school you\'ll be working in. It\'s difficult to say what an apartment will cost as it depends on quality and location; it can range from 2,000 baht for a spartan room in the boonies to 20,000 baht or more in the CBD. MrRoomfinder.com might give you some idea of what\'s out there, although I feel you\'ll mainly see the more expensive tip of the accommodation iceberg. As a rule of thumb, I think rent shouldn\'t take more than 20% out of your salary if you plan to make ends meet. Most landlords will insist on a two months\' deposit and a month\'s rent up front. Utility charges will be another 500 to 5,000 baht monthly, mainly depending on your use of A/C.</p>\n<p>Living and working near the beach is probably the dream of the majority of foreigners arriving in Thailand. It\'s also the dream of many expat teachers who have been in Thailand for years. I\'d take it for what it is: a dream. Apart from a handful of jobs in Phuket, Hua Hin and some lesser known beach towns, the bulk of teaching positions can be found in and around Bangkok, which has after all a population of nearly ten million. For some, reality kicks in when you realise that living and working in Thailand is a world apart from coming here on a package holiday.</p>\n<p>Although your health is invaluable, I don\'t think you should buy expensive medical insurance beforehand as Thailand is cheap compared to the west. Most people already have some kind of travel insurance anyway. Also, good employers offer medical insurance for free or at a reduced cost. If they don\'t, take out your own locally by contacting for example BUPA, a major insurance company which offers competitive packages or Ajarn.com\'s Group Package from Tony Dabbs. Don\'t bother bringing a truckload of medicine from home as Thailand probably has more pharmacies than the rest of the world combined. Yaa (Thai for medicine) is cheap as well.</p>\n<p>In order to survive Thailand as a bachelor(ette) you don\'t need the skills of an experienced housewife as the average cost of eating out is anywhere from affordable to dirt cheap. Keeping your clothes clean is also a piece of cake as myriads of laundry shops around town are keen on washing your dirty underwear and pressing your shirts. Again, you don\'t have to break the bank to use these services. I don\'t think shopping even deserves to be mentioned, but let me point out anyway that small purchases can be made at the 7-Elevens that possibly outnumber the urban cockroaches. More substantial shopping pleasure - and possible credit card hemorrhaging - can be experienced at local or international hypermarkets such as Big C, Tesco Lotus and Carrefour, as well as at the massive shopping centres such as Siam Paragon, Central Plaza, The Mall, the Thai-style behemoth BMK, the hi-so hang-out Emporium and the snobbish Gaysorn, most of which are conveniently located within the city centre.</p>\n<p>Once you\'re settled into your new job and dwelling, you should explore other possibilities for getting around cheaply such as motorbike taxis, vans, buses and river boats. Those of you who plan to work and travel around Thailand or Southeast Asia should realise that it\'s not always easy to take a few weeks or months off whenever you feel like it. Either choose a school which allows for long summer holidays or travel around the region before taking up a job. Southeast Asia is probably the easiest and cheapest part of the world to travel in, with lots of wonderful beaches, national wonders, ancient temple complexes and exotic foods. Although inexpensive, an average one month\'s itinerary will still cost around USD 1,000 minimum, so make sure to have either credit card or money belt available. If you\'re not into travelling, check out the parks Bangkok has to offer as they are welcome and relaxing oases in the noisy concrete jungle.</p>\n<p>When coming to Siam from overseas, arriving on a tourist visa - if possible a multiple entry one - is probably the simplest and most sensible scenario, unless you can obtain a non-immigrant B visa at your local embassy without the hassle of needing to submit extensive paperwork from a prospective employer. After having found gainful employment, your employer should handle the necessary paperwork and apply for a work permit and a yearlong extension of your visa. If you arrived on a tourist visa, this will either need to be converted to a non-immigrant B within Thailand or you\'ll have to do a visa run to get the latter.</p>\n<p>Remember that in order to be eligible for a work permit you should have at least a (genuine) bachelor\'s degree and a TEFL certificate (the latter is not required if you have a B.Ed). Make sure to bring the originals. If you get your non-immigrant B visa abroad, don\'t forget to bring a police clearance as well (the conversion of a tourist visa into a non-immigrant B within Thailand, although more expensive at 4,000 baht, seems to make a home police clearance redundant). For more information on this topic, please browse some other parts of this site, the forum or consult the Visa Guru, as I personally get splitting headaches from this ever-changing red tape. By the way, if you\'re a tree hugger or a nitpicker, this process will be sheer agony: not only will you be asked to sign a ludicrous amount of papers, it will also include a baffling amount of powers of attorney and possibly a few blank sheets just in case.</p>\n<p>Although I\'ve covered most of the practicalities in this article, I think that for many planning to move to Thailand the main hurdle before making the final decision to come to Thailand is psychological. From the dozens of emails I\'ve received over the years, it is clear that you have lots of questions which in fact nobody can answer. The list is probably endless, but I\'ll give a few examples anyway (for more, look at the Questions sections elsewhere on this site).</p>\n<p>&bull; Which is the best TEFL course to take? (search for feedback on-line, scour the forum) <br />&bull; Will I find a job without having experience? (likely) <br />&bull; Without a degree? (possibly) <br />&bull; Without either? (who knows) <br />&bull; Without degree, experience, hair and teeth? (please stay put)<br />&bull; Will I find a job in Pattaya or Phuket? (are you sure it\'s the teaching you love?) <br />&bull; Is 55 too old to start a teaching career in Thailand? (probably not) <br />&bull; Should I do a TEFL or start a job first? (the former would be better)<br />&bull; I\'m an American citizen but look Thai. Will I find a job? (I\'d give it a try)<br />&bull; I have a 3-year Teaching Diploma, am qualified to teach in my home country, have 21 years experience and have enrolled in a TESOL course. Would my overall qualifications be suitable for acceptance as a teacher of English in Thailand? (does a bear shit in the woods?)</p>\n<p>The real answers to all these questions aren\'t just the ones in brackets, they are also \'I haven\'t a clue\' as I don\'t personally know you, what drives you, how good and motivated you really are. Teachers with degrees and experience (and a score of unrealistic demands) occasionally muck up job interviews while others without either manage to worm themselves through the door, so if you\'ll ever get that plum job is anyone\'s guess. I can guarantee you one thing though: if you\'ve really set your teeth into moving to Thailand and finding a job, you\'ll probably succeed as long as you try to suppress some of what is considered by Thai employers your arrogant western attitude and expectations. And even if you don\'t and eventually return back home, make sure to take the opportunity to explore the region and enjoy all the marvels Southeast Asia has to offer.</p>\n<p>Finally, I don\'t think it would be a good idea to consider this column gospel, as some arrive in in Thailand each year woefully unprepared yet seem to find their bearings rapidly and adapt to living and working in a tropical country where some local customs range from eye-opening to mind-boggling. Anyway, as they aren\'t the ones to worry incessantly and to prepare themselves for every imaginable eventuality, they probably won\'t come across this piece unless they stumble upon it. This being said, if you have doubts about a move to the Land of Smiles - which is after all only human - I suggest you don\'t let your insecurity spoil the adventure you\'re about to embark upon.

Contrary to the authors of most – if not all – of the books, I decided to include only what I’ve experienced first-hand. ','<p>Over the last few years a myriad of books have been published recommending what to visit, see, eat, drink, do, listen to, etc. I\'m referring to titles such as 1000 Places to Visit Before You Die, 500 Cities to See Before You Die, 1000 Books to Read Before You Die, and so on. It seems to have developed into a craze with publications (and websites) such as 1000 Wines to Try, 1000 Recordings to Hear, 500 Trips to Take, 1000 Films to Watch, 500 Natural Wonders to See, 1000 Birds to Spot, 1000 Artworks to See and many more. I wouldn\'t be surprised anymore to come across a volume entitled 1000 Cigars to Smoke, 500 Bars to Get Hammered In, 1000 Cathouses to Patronise or 500 STD Clinics to Visit.\n<p>From most of the above-mentioned titles I have deliberately omitted the &lsquo;Before You Die\' part as I find it somewhat lugubrious. Actually, I think some of the titles - esp. the ones concerning alcohol and daredevil activities - should be labelled &lsquo;And Then You Die\' or &lsquo;And Hope You Don\'t Die\', since doing what the books say could definitely lead to liver cirrhosis at best or an untimely death at worst.</p>\n<p>Also, most of what the books prescribe is virtually impossible to do in just one lifetime. For example, the recommended places to visit are spread all over the globe and the reading suggestions contain works such as Tolstoy\'s War and Peace. Apart from becoming an energetic and globe-trotting centenarian, being a millionaire is a necessity as well for enjoying many of the fine wines and far-away exotic locations. Not to mention stamina and 20/20 vision for some other activities.</p>\n<p>I actually like perusing these books although I am quite aware that I\'ll never be able to complete even a tenth of what they encourage people to do. Unless you combine several of the once-in-a-lifetime activities and do so for decades on end, it\'s impossible to experience them all. However, I can\'t see myself riding a camel (a thing to do) in the streets of Timbuktu (a place to visit) while savouring a Chateaux d\'Yquem (a wine to try), puffing on a Cohiba (a cigar to smoke), listening to Tchaikovsky\'s 1812 Overture (a recording to hear) and reading Hemingway\'s Old Man and the Sea (a book to read) all at the same time.</p>\n<p>Although I\'m not a die-hard fan of these &lsquo;list-books\' and feel there are too many already, I couldn\'t resist jumping on the bandwagon and provide you with some lists of my own. Contrary to the authors of most - if not all - of the books, I decided to include only what I\'ve experienced first-hand. My approach unfortunately excludes a number of amazing locations I haven\'t been to myself, but so be it. Although most of what I included is definitely worthwhile, I don\'t expect you to go running to your local travel agent or bookstore to book a world trip or buy a cartload of novels. You will survive and possibly live happily ever after without treading in someone else\'s footsteps and ticking off &lsquo;been there, done that\' lists.</p>\n<p>By the way, even though there is occasionally some kind of advice in my column, one of the best pieces of advice I can give is not to listen too much too other people\'s advice. Yes, you read that correctly. This is based on the fact that everyone is unique and has different tastes and preferences. What I consider to be a picturesque waterfall might just appear another boring day trip in someone else\'s eyes. What others consider must-see ruins may seem uninteresting piles of bricks to me. Some readers may consider Stephen King worthy of a Nobel Prize while others think it is literary rubbish.</p>\n<p>So please don\'t think you should do everything these lists or books mention, nor should you get frustrated or depressed if you don\'t have the means to do so in this lifetime. Nobody would expect a New Yorker to go on a city trip to Sydney or a Singaporean to fly around the world just to see Machu Picchu. However, if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, you might just as well make a detour or add a couple of days to your journey. Alternatively, if you have time and funds aplenty, take a few months (or years) off so you can enjoy some of the beauty at your leisure.</p>\n<p>I chose to keep the lists that follow short. I know there are uncountable other marvelous things to see and do around the world, but if you\'re really into long lists, just pop out to any of the major English bookshops, spend some cash and support the local economy.</p>\n<p>Wonderful Places to Visit in Thailand<br />1.

Among my 200 most popular photos, only 22 are from Thailand. Pictures from Laos are the most popular by a mile, followed by Vietnam as a distant second.

I also surf regularly to quite a few EFL websites, but most of them are just one hit pit stops to me. I don\'t often return to one and usually use Google as a starting point to find whatever I need. Until I stumbled upon ESLprintables (www.eslprintables.com).\n<p>ESLprintables is a website where EFL teachers from all over the world upload and share their home-made worksheets. Thousands of spiffy worksheets are available for download, all for free. Now don\'t stop reading at this point to visit the site, eagerly expecting to siphon off all those materials, because you won\'t be able to. Let me explain.</p>\n<p>Browsing and searching the site can be done by anyone, but if you want a piece of the action, you\'ll need to register - a process which is free and doesn\'t take long. After that, you\'ll be a registered member of the site, but you\'ll still be unable to download any goodies from the treasure trove. That\'s because the philosophy behind the site is to give before you take.</p>\n<p>In order to download the worksheets you so desperately want when you had a peek, you\'ll have to upload some of your own work first. Each worksheet you upload gives you one point and each download of your worksheets by another member gets you one point as well. You can then spend your points downloading the stuff you want. Once you have reached 30 points, you\'ll be automatically upgraded to premium member, which means you\'ll be able to download 30 recent worksheets for free each day. By the way, if you share quality worksheets, you\'ll achieve 30 downloads in no time.</p>\n<p>If this sounds too complicated or you\'re in dire need of a specific worksheet, ESLprintables is not the site you\'re looking for. Instead, you should view this site as a platform where teachers share some of their best creations with others worldwide, free of charge. Should you ever decide to give it a go, get some quality worksheets ready to upload. Make sure it\'s your own work, as copied, scanned or stolen material isn\'t tolerated on the site. Moderators check uploads for violations of the site\'s rules, and flag and remove unacceptable worksheets. By the way, every member with more than 1,000 downloads automatically becomes a moderator.</p>\n<p>Although this site is a goldmine when you\'re looking for worksheets, there\'s more to it. Once you get into creating and uploading your own materials, you might get addicted. You\'ll start excitedly monitoring your worksheets, the number of downloads you\'ve accumulated and the comments other members make on your worksheets. The forum on the site is rather small and basic, but provides a simple way of addressing the whole community should the need arise. Apart from printable worksheets, members can also upload PowerPoint presentations and make online exercises (this is done with cloud software; instructions provided online).</p>\n<p>With 180,246 registered users and 162,784 printables (on May 21, 2009), ESLprintables is unquestionably a popular EFL resource site. The fact that there are more registered users than worksheets may indicate that some cybernauts don\'t bother to read the rules and policy before signing up. The site isn\'t a money spinner, quite on the contrary. It\'s a private initiative from a Spanish teacher named Victor, has no advertising and limited server space. In fact, worksheet uploads are limited to 300Kb and presentations to 500Kb, so the site is definitely no alternative to file-hosting or file-sharing websites like Scribd.com, iFile.it or torrents.</p>\n<p>You can check out the thousands of printables on www.eslprintables.com.

Let\'s keep in mind though that nobody\'s perfect and that most teachers would probably be over the moon if only a slight majority of students showed some of the traits mentioned','<p>It is generally acknowledged that a teacher\'s life is often stressful and daunting and that pursuing a teaching career is not exactly the shortest path to fame and riches. This seems to be more or less true all around the world.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, legions of foreigners still end up on Thailand\'s shores each year, either competing for the most lucrative positions or contenting themselves with securing less demanding jobs. Schools, on the other hand, try to pick the cream of the crop in an attempt to sign up the illusive ideal teachers.</p>\n<p>However, if school boards and parents keep insisting on higher standards, we teachers should at least be allowed to fantasise about the benchmarks for role model students. This blog doesn\'t focus on teachers and how to achieve near-perfection, but on what the ideal student would be like. Let\'s keep in mind though that nobody\'s perfect and that most teachers would probably be over the moon if only a slight majority of students showed some of the traits mentioned below.</p>\n<p>These characteristics are not based on full-scale research among teachers but rather on personal experience. Also, finding an accurate yardstick valid for the whole student body worldwide is tantamount to looking for the Holy Grail as regional cultures and customs play a determining role.</p>\n<p>Anyway, these are some of the characteristics I think ideal students should have:</p>\n<p><strong>Motivated</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>You can lead a horse to water, but you can\'t make it drink. Even the best qualified teachers will have a hard time transferring their English skills to students if the latter are completely unwilling to absorb any of it.</p>\n<p>Motivation is vital to doing well when learning a language. More information on how to motivate students can be found in one of last year\'s columns (March 2008).</p>\n<p><strong>Inquisitive</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>It\'s very handy for teachers when students occasionally ask questions when they don\'t understand a word, expression, idiom, grammar point, etc. This not only shows their interest but also gives the teacher valuable feedback without solely having to rely on formal tests (on which lots of students try to cheat anyway).</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, general lack of interest in learning English and possible loss of face often prevent students from doing so as in Thai culture, asking questions equates to admitting you are stupid.</p>\n<p><strong>Cooperative</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>It\'s always nice when students do what you ask them to do. Although this may seem self-evident, it not always is. By the way, I\'m referring to basic classroom instructions which students understand but sometimes prefer to ignore.</p>\n<p>Examples are \'Please open your books on page 27\' (met by blank stares), \'Attention everyone\' (students keep talking among themselves), \'Be quiet please\' (students start talking more loudly), \'Please do exercise 3 on page 11\' (students start moaning \'mai ao\') and \'Please move your chairs and sit in groups of four like we\'ve been doing for the last three months\' (students look flabbergasted and remain immobile)</p>\n<p><strong>Enthusiastic</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Let\'s just say it is far more pleasant to teach a group of motivated, energetic students than a bunch of loafers slouching in their chairs with boredom written all over their faces.</p>\n<p><strong>Unafraid to make mistakes</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Teachers like students who try out the language they\'ve just learnt when asked to. Controlled practice and free conversation are essential to internalise structure and vocabulary as well as improve pronunciation.</p>\n<p>Many Asian students, however, have a deep-rooted fear of making the slightest mistake as in their respective cultures this is tantamount to losing face. Consequently, many of them are reluctant to answer oral questions freely or engage in discussions enthusiastically.</p>\n<p><strong>Hard-working</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Learning a language involves making considerable efforts. In order to better their skills, students not only need to work hard, they should also be persevering and determined.</p>\n<p>Nobody\'s active language skills will improve just by listening to a teacher. Teachers can teach, guide and assist students in their learning process, but they can never do the actual learning and practising for them.</p>\n<p><strong>Open, talkative</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Students who aren\'t afraid to share their opinions and experiences are a joy to have in the classroom. Being talkative is not only beneficial to students as it will help them progress at a faster pace but also to teachers as this will make their lessons more interesting and faster-paced.</p>\n<p>For teachers, it is a welcome break from conversation classes in which trying to get students to talk is often similar to pulling teeth.</p>\n<p><strong>Realistic</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>When students are learning a language intensively and practise often outside the classroom, their English skills will pick up quickly. Rome, however, wasn\'t built in a day, so it is important that students don\'t have unrealistic expectations when starting a course.</p>\n<p>One can only achieve so much in a short time. It is impossible to be fluent after doing a 20-hour conversation course or fully prepared for devilish exams such as TOEFL or IELTS after signing up for a 30-hour prep course.</p>\n<p><strong>Patient</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>In my experience it is often the more zealous - but not exceptionally smart - students that can be a wee bit impatient. When they get stuck while doing an exercise they\'ll call your name or say \'Teacher, come here please\' and keep repeating this until you actually go over and help them, even if it is clear that you\'re in the middle of helping one of their classmates.</p>\n<p><strong>Helpful</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Some of the more intelligent students who fall in the category \'quick finishers\' sometimes turn into real teaching assistants, helping weaker students get through difficult exercises and actually explaining again the teaching point you wanted them to grasp.</p>\n<p>Needless to say that this is a dream situation where you can easily overlook the use of L1 in the English classroom.</p>\n<p><strong>Independent </strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>It is nice to have students who can think for themselves and try to solve problems on their own before asking assistance from either teacher or classmates. Classroom exercises, homework assignments and tests are often subject to blatant copying and cheating as well as any activity that requires critical thinking.</p>\n<p>Independence is also important when it comes to learning and practising English outside of the classroom. Students who make an effort to do so will usually progress much more rapidly than the ones who constantly need their hands held or only respond to the carrot and stick approach.</p>\n<p><strong>Serious</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>While most students in Thailand perceive this as a negative quality, they only do so because they are referring to the wrong definition, i.e. unable to laugh, quiet, overly thoughtful. I\'m using it in the sense of determined.</p>\n<p>Students who are serious about learning English and willing to put in some serious efforts are obviously easier to teach than the ones who consider it a waste of time or even a joke.</p>\n<p><strong>Sense of humour</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Using humour in the classroom can help teachers build rapport and create a relaxed and non-threatening atmosphere. Therefore, it\'s useful if the students have some sense of humour themselves, aren\'t awestruck by your every casual quip or don\'t try to dig for biblical meaning in your latest joke gone wrong.</p>\n<p>However, teachers should never overdo the serious humour part as you don\'t want to be seen as the resident joker or turn your classroom into Comedy Central.</p>\n<p><strong>Well-mannered</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Although I have been teaching for years in Thailand, I am still appalled by the lack of basic manners that some students exhibit. Openly sleeping in class, playing computer games, texting, burping, farting, fighting and shouting are some that spring to mind.</p>\n<p>Some adults aren\'t much better when they forget to turn off their mobiles or don\'t even bother going outside of the classroom when taking or making calls. I suppose it\'s a worldwide phenomenon and I should be somewhat grateful that at least most Thai students don\'t bring knives and guns into the classroom - and when they do it\'s not to hurt the teacher but to maim or kill students from rival schools.</p>\n<p><strong>Disciplined</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Apart from behaving themselves in the classroom and refraining from being rude, unpleasant, cocky, crass, coarse, insolent, obnoxious, uncivil, snotty, ill-bred and vulgar, ideal students should also show some self-discipline when it comes to doing homework, taking exams, practising English outside of the classroom and making genuine efforts in general to further their language skills.</p>\n<p>After all, their future may depend upon them.</p>\n<p><strong>Sociable</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Teenage and adult students who enjoy meeting new people and aren\'t afraid to use English during conversation are definitely a step ahead of their shyer peers, who recoil from speaking to any stranger, no matter what their nationality.</p>\n<p>Although being gregarious is a trait that is worthwhile having for every language student, I feel it\'s particularly important when people study - out of their own volition - in a language school where the dynamics of a lesson often depend on the atmosphere and collaboration among all students.</p>\n<p><strong>Well-dressed</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>This is not really an issue as most language learners wear uniforms. Most students dress in their obligatory uniforms, unless they take tutorial weekend classes.</p>\n<p>Business students are usually dressed business-like, especially when coming from or going to work.</p>\n<p>Many female university students are dressed in skirts so short and shirts so tight one sometimes wonders if they have lucrative part-time jobs. Although I am not averse to eye candy and prefer sexy girls to dragons and battle-axes, it can be distracting when teaching.</p>\n<p><strong>Rich </strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Although being affluent does not necessarily make learning English easier, it sure helps (both student and teacher) when expensive private lessons are about to come up for renewal.</p>\n<p>Having the means to travel extensively and practise English along the way is another advantage. Up until now, however, I haven\'t positively witnessed any correlation between wealth and talent/motivation.</p>\n<p><strong>Good-looking</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Although I am not averse to teaching students who are easy on the eye, teachers who think that ideal students are sexy and available are clearly crossing a line which is a lot vaguer than in most western countries.</p>\n<p>Whereas socialising with students may be okay in certain situations (e.g. end-of-course get-together), striking up relationships with students can hardly be called ethical and can lead to immediate dismissal. Fantasising about students among colleagues may be technically legal, but it nevertheless turns my stomach.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-06-22 17:13:12',1,'2015-06-22 17:13:12','2015-06-23 07:07:13'),(482,9,'The taking of responsibility 1-2-3','the-taking-of-responsibility-1-2-3','An alternative look at Thai culture','Much has been written about the Thai culture, some of it well researched and gleaned from many years of experience.

They are the charming, yet unmotivated, product of a &lsquo;no-fail\' education system, which has never let them feel the sting of failure, nor take responsibility for it.\n<p>These same students will daydream, or even physically sleep, through their semester, before huddling around the notice board peering at their final marks, with perhaps little or no understanding of the correlation between class participation and academic results. The more brazen among them will, if past form is anything to go by, beg in broken English (\"You hell me?\") for undeserved grades, or padded attendance points to boost them past a fail mark. The fact that the self-same student has missed 8, 9, or even 10 lessons is of no consequence. The jury is advised to lend it no weight.

The heart bleeds.</p>\n<p>Much has been written about the Thai culture, some of it well researched and gleaned from many years of experience. This article is unashamedly neither. What I have noticed is the trickle-down effect of a persistent lack of responsibility within everyday Thai practices. For instance, how many &lsquo;Inactive Posts\' can one country have? Every day there are news reports of some ne\'er-do-well in officialdom having to step aside after having been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but, if anything is actually done, (and it\'s a big IF, as in the recent case of vote-buying politicians who were banned from politics for only 5 years) they can simply dust themselves off, regroup, and lobby for reinstatement. No muss, no fuss.</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s latest faux-pas on the world stage was the setting adrift of humanitarian refugees. This has been covered in some (gruesome) detail by the international media, and yet the government\'s spokespeople still come out with statements denying that anything actually happened. This is hot on the heels of the bizarre scenes of a badly-executed protest which shut down Thailand\'s only international airport, thereby strangling the tourism industry, doing irreparable damage to the country\'s image, and causing untold suffering throughout the economy. \"Oops.\"</p>\n<p>As caring educators we are obliged to instill in our students a sense of responsibility, or at the very least, an understanding of the scientific principles of cause and effect, before they go out into the world, enter professions, raise families, and perhaps even form governments, only to further unleash the \"but this is Thailand\" mentality on future generations. The ability to make reasoned and reasonable decisions with an eye to future consequences, is of utmost importance in the development of the framework, international image, and people, of this country and this region.</p>\n<p>\"Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

And what it occurred to me to ask was, perhaps the age of reading is over? Reading and writing evolved at a time when there were no electronic communication mediums like we have today, nor even the means to create images other than by hand, which was a laborious process (and which, by comparison to the image produced by even the cheapest of instant cameras, yields distinctly &lsquo;inferior\', or far less than lifelike results - people forget what a miracle photographs were to people who had only ever seen hand illustrations).\n<p>And in this context, it was the cutting edge of home entertainment; if you wanted an adventure, or some romance, or some other momentary respite from the real world, the written word was it. Therefore, even though reading is a skill that is very burdensome to develop, there was a lot of incentive early on in the piece to do so; if you stuck at that oh-so-laborious task of learning symbols and learning to translate them into meaning, and became practiced enough at it that it was no longer so arduous, or something you became very proficient at doing, the reward was that suddenly you had access to the DVD player or MP3 player of the time. Which, of course, in the present day, because they\'re the cutting edge of communications technologies (not to mention their role as a status symbol), are highly coveted pieces of equipment - books, and the ability to read them, we might imagine were once like that as well.</p>\n<p>Naturally enough, being able to read stories wasn\'t the only benefit that accrued from becoming literate, although I would like to suggest here that for many a plodding reader the desire to have the imagination fired up in the way movies or video games might have that effect today was the light at the end of the reading tunnel, or kept them struggling until they could do it - your prospects in life became that much better, because you could communicate with people across space and time in ways that hitherto would have been impossible. Once also you attained the ability to read stories and enjoy them, and read a lot of stories because you enjoyed them, because reading was suddenly so cognitively less demanding more serious stuff would suddenly have become more appealing - you could realise how marvellous it was to learn about the world, or about the theories and facts that describe our world. Or, how personally enriching, even though it is very alienating, it is to expand upon one\'s knowledge.</p>\n<p>What I\'m saying here is, in other words, that reading is hard work, sufficiently so that the labour involved is enough to put people off doing it; but, that in early days if you stuck at it you ended up with the ability to access the internet of the day - there was a lot of incentive to develop that ability, because in this context the rewards were enormous.</p>\n<p>Now though, we have new communications mediums that, firstly, are more naturally intriguing to the human brain - they offer images, moving, real-time pictures, and sound all at the same time, and many of them are much more interactive. Furthermore, they are by no means as cognitively demanding; you don\'t have to translate as much of the information being juggled between your brain and the medium into symbols, or engage as much with this cognitive &lsquo;lingua franca\', because a lot of the information is already in its primary form. So, suddenly, as many an English teacher has lamented, the incentive to stick at learning to become an advanced reader - the entertainment value of reading - has gone, or has been surpassed by other forms; these other forms, really, instead of maligning them offhand as &lsquo;non-intellectual\', we have to realise are actually more sophisticated ways of exchanging information than an orthographic system. The possibilities for our students are, that is to say, two-fold - firstly, whether or not new communications mediums are superior or inferior to writing, people prefer them for entertainment, and so reading becomes a lost art from this direction (no entertainment, no continual practice, and thus minimal consumption of the information contained in the Gutenberg continuum).</p>\n<p>Secondly, these new communications mediums are more sophisticated than plain old writing, or can do all that books can plus a lot more, furthermore with less effort on the behalf of the consumer - from this direction too, rather than trying to push books on people like ballet or classical music, it needs to be recognised that reading in its traditional form is, at the heart of it, perhaps these days increasingly an anachronism. Don\'t get me wrong, nobody loves reading more than I do - in retrospect, however, what sets me apart from most of the other people in my generation is that my mum and dad absolutely prevented me from accessing electronic media, leaving only reading to pick up on in their stead. In addition, it is clearly obvious that if the purpose of writing is to communicate ideas from one brain to another, I can at least see the potential for newer communications mediums to be better at doing this, or better at fulfilling this role, than written text. What could there be written in a book, in other words, that you couldn\'t conjure up with a video and digital effects - about the only drawback I can really think of to the latter technology is that if you were confined to that, you wouldn\'t be able to get the ideas of Aristotle or Charles Darwin firsthand, because they are no longer around to record them in this format...unless, of course, someone &lsquo;re-mediated\' them for you, so perhaps if we had skilled interpreters this is not so much of a drawback after all.</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t go the whole hog and say, however, that this is the time when encouraging our students to read should be left at the educational wayside, and all books exchanged for information recorded in electronic formats - the problem, quite obviously, with that idea, although it may one day become valid, is that the best information is still transcribed in writing. In my opinion, even the best stories are still to be found in written format (personally, I can never get it out of my head when watching movies or shows that there are cameras giving me my perspective, or that out of sight of the narrative there are all the accoutrements of the stage - i.e. that none of it is real in any way, it is all a ghastly masquerade) - the most important ideas in the world, moreover, in terms of progressing the human worldview, are still definitely only to be found in written format, the best information for by far and away the most part just isn\'t available in any other form. The way new mediums are used greatly complicates the issue as well; it is still upholders of only a particular type of worldview that produce most of the information available on electronic mediums in forms other than plain writing (the mass media remains a form of social control), and so if one doesn\'t encourage one\'s students to read in the hopes that one day they might start reading a diversity of academic literature, one is really consigning them to a life of slavery (or at least to a life of being &lsquo;ting-tong\'). Which doesn\'t, we might then add, do wonders for the Earth\'s environment, or for the human species either.</p>\n<p>So as teachers, then, if all of this pondering actually means anything, here are our choices. We want our students to become better at the English language, and to absorb more of the facts and theories that describe our universe. So, we can either deprive them somehow of other types of communications mediums, so that reading becomes once again the preferred form of entertainment, and let their thirst for knowledge develop in this way. Or, we can engage with and encourage the rendering of human knowledge into multi-media forms. About the only time we have power over a student\'s life to the extent we can make reading the only form of entertainment is when they are in class, there is fat chance of making this the case at home - so, I guess the moral in this case is that time under the teacher\'s supervision needs to be devoted to reading, hopefully in this way they could develop the taste. In regards to multi-media, the immediate imperative would seem to be to make sure that the students are exposed to messages outside your usual corporate and other types of controlling propaganda - really, our job is, if we can\'t find such material already available, to assist in remediating all written knowledge into this more transmissible form.</p>\n<p>As a final observation, too, I can see now how the world went so backwards in so many ways in the latter half of the 20th century, or since the advent of electronic mass media, or why people forgot that the beauty of scientific enlightenment and the printing press was that it saved us from the feudal system and started to make us press for things like democracy, public ownership of things and social equality - electronic mass media prevented a lot of people from becoming advanced readers, because they got their entertainment in other ways, and the only information that was left in their brains in lieu of this was once again the very stultifying message of those who seek to pull our strings to their own ends, or a message that inevitably has this effect. If you like The Matrix, the electronic mass media was the matrix - people who choose to ignore this message, I guess, are those who keep eating the blue pill.</p>\n</p>','','2008-11-01 00:06:17',1,'2008-11-01 00:06:17','2009-07-15 14:02:18'),(484,6,'Long-tailed Boating','long-tailed-boating','Life on Thailand\'s waterways','One of my most enjoyable purchases here in Thailand has been my long-tailed boat – ‘ruhr-harng-yao’ in Thai, which means ‘vessel long-tail’, and which by interpreting the term in relation to our own organisation of adjectives and nouns gives us exactly what it is.','<p>One of my most enjoyable purchases here in Thailand has been my long-tailed boat - &lsquo;ruhr-harng-yao\' in Thai, which means &lsquo;vessel long-tail\', and which by interpreting the term in relation to our own organisation of adjectives and nouns gives us exactly what it is. Mine is a typical fishing boat - it is manufactured from wood, it is about five metres long, and rather than having a car or bus motor affixed to the back, like the larger models, it has a 10 horsepower general-purpose motor to which the long-tail shaft and propeller has been bolted. There are, in my experience several advantages to purchasing such a boat (although I am ashamed to say that before I could use it properly I used to malign it, it being one of those things that there is somewhat of a trick to operating, and Western male culture being such an elephant on one\'s back) - once you do get used to it, it is in fact a very functional design (despite that it is really nothing more than a dug-out canoe onto which an engine has been affixed to save paddling, rather than something that has been specifically designed as a form of powered transport). It\'s pretty cool to enjoy something that is someone else\'s tradition, I like trying new stuff. People are less inclined to &lsquo;borrow\' it while I am not around, because it is just the same as their boats. It never breaks down, and is extraordinarily easy to repair, because as Myth-Busters never got around to showing, but I am sure they were always thinking of showing, single cylinder general-purpose agricultural motors are extraordinarily robust. And finally, but of course not least in this list of positive attributes, it is extraordinarily cheap - a brand new boat only costs 15 grand at most, and a motor and long-tail apparatus can be bought brand new, with a one year warranty, for just 7-8000 baht. On the down-side, you need to keep it where you use it, because it is way too heavy to cart about, and you can\'t let them dry out - there\'s only one place I want to use mine anyway, on the enormous lake near my home, and so for me this isn\'t by any means a worry.\n<p>Although I have, of course, in very utilitarian fashion, skipped over here what the real pleasure has been for me in buying my boat - said lake is a wonderful place to go. I live near Sirikit Dam, which I believe must be one of the larger lakes in Thailand, if not right up there in the global scheme of things - if you\'ve only ever been there as a tourist, believe me you\'ve not seen anything yet (because that\'s how I went there at first myself), eating lunch on a floating restaurant or being towed out to sing karaoke on a floating raft, while fun (once, sort of), are not by any means the greatest attractions. My wife and I, when we headed beyond the beaten track on our first voyage (fishing is like this, you have to get away to get them, I bought the boat because a motorbike expedition around the lake\'s circumference had shown the possibilities), were immediately taken - just around the corner, when you get beyond the beer bottles on the bottom and tangles of lines and forked sticks on the bank, there was on one side (I should be saying &lsquo;to starboard\', to keep with the theme of things) a much larger expanse of water than we had expected (a veritable inland sea, the opposite shores of which were only very distantly visible). On the other, there was an absolutely fascinating archipelago of islets. The water, beyond where human habitation has disturbed it, if the wind doesn\'t blow is crystal clear in Sirikit, quite clear enough to go snorkelling - when the wind does die off, and this is a very usual state of affairs, the water becomes oily smoothe, and as you head away from land one really does get the sensation that one is casting off for other climes. A veritable carpet of small fish and shrimps arises from the depths in the evenings, the former to gorge themselves on a kind of nocturnal insect, and here and there one can see truly massive leviathans either themselves taking advantage of the platter (small fish have big fish behind their backs to bite them, and so on), or simply wallowing about on the surface - beyond the village where I stash my boat, there are very few signs of human life to be observed, it really is quite a special experience.</p>\n<p>Don\'t think either that seafaring, snorkelling and angling are the only pleasures to be had - in winter, or beginning about now, as the water drops in the lake (it is used to generate hydro-electricity, I did a teaching job at the plant once, that was very interesting), the lower slopes of the aforementioned islets are exposed, revealing a magnificent place to camp. That dreadful thorny bush that is the bane of fishermen in Thailand, or that springs up in no time on any exposed land near water, and that is so absolutely impenetrable and itchy (not to mention something that seems to have been specifically designed to catch your lure), is well put paid to by several months of submersion - the grass, furthermore, seems to be in a mid-way state of evolution between water-weed and grass proper, or after just a week or so, when the water does go down, far from being drowned comes back just as green and lush as ever. The islands look like coral atolls, crowned with a perfectly defined (at maximum water level) &lsquo;top-knot\' of larger trees and thicket - below this, there is what looks like nothing less than a beautifully manicured lawn of soft grass, which even for my wife makes camping the obvious choice of activities. Most of the islands are completely deserted, apart from the odd boat you won\'t see another soul - they are insect free, too, or at least annoying insect-free, which is another bonus in terms of getting my wife to accompany me - the ants don\'t venture below the &lsquo;high tide\' mark, or make their way down to the campsite, and so many fish and tiny bats live between the islands and the mainland that even the mosquitoes are loathe to venture out over the water (I have only been bitten by one in all the time I have spent out there camping, which is miraculous). It\'s definitely one of my favourite places in the world, when it is a beautiful Thai winter\'s day, with not a cloud in the sky and not a soul in sight (and when I am happily engaged in catching these giant jungle perch and snakeheads, and my wife is happily engaged in reading her book or knitting), it truly is a wonderful feeling.</p>\n<p>Navigating a long-tailed boat, however, is not without its trials and tribulations, especially the first time you set forth - my first experience was a near disaster. I charged out onto the lake, somewhat tentatively I must admit, in this kind of cul-de-sac which is surrounded by floating restaurants, local residents\' homes, and the entire fishing fleet - I turned on the motor, kicked it over, and lowered the long-tail into the water. Instead of going straight, like I expected (I didn\'t know then you have to get some speed happening before the bottom of the boat works like a keel), the boat immediately curved around towards the most crowded part of the port, and we started accelerating into a combination of boats, fish farms, homes and some very crowded restaurants - the more I pushed the motor the way you would expect it needed to be pushed, the more contrary the boat became in the direction it was taking. Never mind, I though, I\'ll just switch the motor off, we\'ll avert disaster with an oar, and I\'ll paddle out a bit further before I try again - to my great shock, when I touched the kill switch, it leapt plain off the motor and fell into the water. I didn\'t have time to extricate it via the wires it left behind before having a serious collision, my only recourse at that stage was to lift the propeller out of the water - we kept up our forward momentum, of course, and ploughed into some boats and a restaurant just at the same time as the now wildly accelerating motor (it sped up and became a heck of a lot more noisy when I lifted the propeller clear of the water) made sure that every head was turned towards me. I was trying to be really careful not to compound the damage by wrecking anyone\'s things with the propeller, which by now was dangling precariously in the air - in my eagerness to avoid this further liability, I nearly accidentally beheaded my wife, it drew a gasp, like you hear when a man puts his head in a crocodile\'s mouth, from all the restaurant onlookers. Fortunately, we finally came to rest, furthermore without having caused much real damage (a few scrapes of paint were exchanged between mine and other people\'s boats) - the Thai guys helped me get the kill switch out and turn the motor off, and once again everything returned to normal. To their great credit, they didn\'t shake their heads at me, or use my obvious inexperience as a chance to make out I was a fool (and thus, by association, that they were wise old champions, as the fishermen are inclined to do back home) - instead, they laughed and told me their own embarrassing stories of what happened the first time they took the helm of a long-tailed boat, Thai people really are often so very nice.</p>\n<p>I\'m a master seaman now, anyway, I definitely have the hang of it, I even just traded in my first boat for a brand spanker, ready for this winter - the days have cooled off here, the weather has become very clear, and best of all the fish are biting. I would say that I will see you out on the lake, this being the sort of jovial thing that these kinds of articles usually culminate with in fishing literature - except I won\'t, of course, or at least I don\'t expect to, people are scarce out on the parts of the lake I frequent in general, let alone in terms of the kind of people who might read this article. If things get too bad around here, in fact, I might have to go and hide out on the lake - while they seem a world away in my rural environment, it looks like things in Thailand are becoming very serious. Let\'s hope that things have a progressive outcome.</p>\n</p>','','2008-12-01 00:13:55',1,'2008-12-01 00:13:55','2009-07-15 14:02:56'),(485,6,'Teaching at my university','teaching-at-my-university','What does holding down a university job entail?','if you want to teach university classes like mine, in particularly regard to Thai classes, if they are school leavers they’re really as good a bunch of starters as you could ever hope to get. If you try and teach them in a systematic way, you will encounter difficulties – difficulties that might, at first, be inclined to plunge you into the deepest depths of despair.','<p>What is it like teaching my university classes in Thailand? Well, there\'s been a &lsquo;before\' and &lsquo;after\'. Before was when I was a very poor teacher, with very little understanding of what my profession was all about - my activities did not teach specific skills and knowledges, mainly because my own knowledge of the mechanics of English was very limited. My materials were very poorly presented, or were given to students on a piecemeal basis, and lacked any guiding format or instructions. And my administration of classes was very haphazard - there was no sign of me following any sort of a comfortable routine in the way I organised things, or indeed that I had it fixed in my own mind where things were heading. In combination, of course, these things gave very little indication to students that there was anything either serious or genuine about what they studied in my courses - in these conditions, this is typically how classes went.\n<p>I\'d stand out the front and explain something about some language I wanted them to be able to use - the vocabulary, usually, and whatever other vague feature of the nature and other organisation of the language I knew. Or, if I was teaching writing, I\'d kind of do the same thing, I would write them or show them something, and then I would explain the most basic, or most general features of it. There would then be some sort of activity or game that got the students involved in using that language, be it speaking, listening to, reading or writing it - I\'d only very summarily check how people were going with things, or was content usually if a good portion of students were able to show some understanding. Things went absolutely famously like this, I thought I was killing it - everyone was happy, it looked like people were doing what they were supposed to, and there was sufficient response from the group to make me think that everyone was learning.</p>\n<p>In other words, I\'d walk into the room (I was always a bit testy about punctuality, and so they were always there waiting for me), and all the students would stop their conversations with one another, and arrange themselves in their chairs. Before I could even say &lsquo;hi\' they would all be smiling fit to burst - naturally, it would make me smile too, and very easy to say a genuine hello. I\'d begin explaining whatever was on the agenda, and they\'d all lean forward in their chairs - I would ask questions of them periodically throughout, which they either answered, or which they solicited the help of their friends in answering. Thai people, in other words, if this is left unaddressed, are very quick to whisper to their uncomprehending classmates both what you said to them, as well as how they should respond - at first, I didn\'t think too much of this. During group or individual student tasks too, I\'d wander around and see in general how people were going - I could see that some of them didn\'t have much of a clue, and I would try to help them, but seeing that as I didn\'t have too focused a grasp myself of what they needed to know and do exactly to produce the targeted language, or to understand what I had given them, it was difficult to know in what ways they were off track, and how exactly I should be going about getting them back on it. Consequently, I had to be very benevolent in the way I tested the students - some of them performed very badly in their exams, and it was necessary for me to give them special tuition, and to let them do exams again and so forth, so they didn\'t get in trouble with the university. I didn\'t make it easy for them, by any means, but I could see that their attendance or rejection of their studies were not factors contributing to their predicament, and I don\'t like to punish the students for ignorance when I\'m supposed to be the teacher - it was figuring out what was going on here in particular, or the close involvement it gave me with struggling students, that shed the most light on what I should perhaps be doing.</p>\n<p>Teaching older students, however, was a completely different story. While my young undergraduate students have always by and large demonstrated exceedingly civilised classroom behaviours, when I taught the mature age Thai students, I saw all the behaviours I have read other people complaining about. I wonder, in fact, how widely known this is - many older Thai people, in class, often even when they are teachers themselves (and it seems to be directly proportional to their seniority), pay about as much attention to what is going on as a group of Chinese tourists would pay to the recorded messages on the subway. They doze off. They talk with one another. They even leave their mobile phones on, and answer them in the class. Furthermore, the only groups of Thai people I have taught in which I had to combat blatant cheating were the groups of older students - I guess their peers were as appalled by this as we might be, because they have certainly done a very good job fixing it. Like I say, until I came to teach mature age students myself, or on the basis of the young people, I thought for sure that Thailand was the best place to teach - my young Thai students, as I have recounted previously, have always, while they are not in every case the most diligent doers of homework, nonetheless been almost unanimously an absolute pleasure to have in the classroom. As I remember someone on this site writing somewhere, they make your face hurt from smiling.</p>\n<p>The thing was, though, that in early days, while it looked like everything was going well, it wasn\'t. I came to find this out because as I became more established in this kind of institution, and as I became more knowledgeable about the English language and about teaching, I fixed up my game. Or actually, I should say, I came to know this especially, because I was confronted with the Chinese. Like the mature-age Thai students (with whom, when I think about it now, they might be compared, there must be something of significance in this), being in any sort of state of under-preparation, if its is the Chinese I know you\'re teaching, is the end of you before you\'ve begun - you need a well conceived sequence of learning activities, and an absolute will of iron to get people to stick to them in the way they are intended to be used (which means great confidence in what you are doing), if you want to run anything like what we would think of as a contemporary language lesson. Confronted with this change in my student population, in other words, and with a few basic ideas in place, it was high time to address the professionalism of my practice - I put the things I had discovered into practice by making decent course books, with decent activities, and with decent guiding structure, as well as established more formal systems of administration and classroom management.</p>\n<p>Which is where I immediately saw a whole new face of my Thai students. Suppose you start off as a good teacher, and walk into an &lsquo;untrained\' class (because the likes of me before didn\'t prepare them too well), and start trying to teach them something productive - this is what you\'ll experience (at least at my university). You begin by referring to last week, to give them a sense of the context in which this week fits, or to encourage their holistic understanding of the course - nobody will have thought about it in the meantime, and you\'ll be met by blank stares. This makes you feel somewhat anxious to begin with. Never mind, you remind everyone of where we are at, and you begin to explain what the next workout will be, whatever theory is involved, and whatever the students have to do - as soon as they figure out that this is the theory and instructions phase of the lesson (something you\'re trying to make plain to them so they can get with the lesson), a whole bunch of them immediately turn off. Maybe even some of them, as well as visibly beginning to fidget, or loll about listlessly, even begin to go down that slippery slope towards paying no attention whatsoever, and having a conversation of their own. This certainly made me wonder whether I had made the right choice of improvements to my teaching strategy when I experienced it - I desperately wanted them to think just a tad about what they were doing before they did it, and especially how they should go about doing it, to give them a better sense of what they were trying to accomplish. My inability to do this, or the thwarting of this ambition, certainly gave me doubts about what I was doing, as well as threatened the previous joviality of our relationship.</p>\n<p>Having pressed on through this obstacle, you tell everyone to get in their group, and to begin. Nobody moves, they just sit there relaxing. Come on, you tell them, hurry up, let\'s get it all happening - they continue to smile benignly, and maybe a few will begin to rise. Oh, you realise, despite the many hours you spent at home trying to make the most potentially boring part of the learning experience interesting and meaningful, or despite the cunning bait you prepared to capture their interest, and to get them on board with the lesson, a lot of them don\'t know what\'s going on. So, you gently get them doing what they should be doing, which is making groups. Next thing, you discover, as you go around to closely check how everybody is going with the activity proper, is that some people still have absolutely no idea what is happening, and furthermore aren\'t even trying to find out - they\'re just sitting there, happily and apparently busily, but with no engagement whatsoever in whatever the activity is. At this stage, I thought my activities really sucked, because upon this close inspection, and with a very clear idea of what students should be doing, I found the level of participation was fairly low - still, you patiently try and get them to get with it, or to salvage the point of the whole learning experience from this quagmire into which the lesson has suddenly descended. Then you head back to your office with your heart in your shoes, and wonder was it the wrong approach, or was it too difficult, or was the whole thing boring, or all the other non-congratulatory things about yourself that teaching failure gets you to thinking - I can easily see teachers going so far as to imagine, even, that student-centred learning, or the communicative approach, or even Western methods of education, are not appropriate to Thailand, the textbooks don\'t mean anything.</p>\n<p>The trick is, however, to persevere. I\'ve talked about this previously - at first, trying to be a better teacher depressed me enormously, trying to give the students a greater appreciation of what they were doing, and how to go about it; and, having to go around and make sure that they all knew what to do, and were in fact doing it as it was intended (not just copying off their mate or something); was to begin with exceptionally arduous (making what I thought were massive improvements looked like it was making my classes fall apart). Just when I was ready to give up, though, I burst through the threshold - suddenly, the students got it, they realised the structure of lessons, or the ways I had in mind for them to learn, and embraced the concept, and everything was sweet. I guess the conclusion is, I mean, that the students at my university are not used to learning in the way we might rationalise learners would go about it, or according to the way contemporary instructional material is designed - rather than losing heart, however, or dumbing it down, or wringing your hands trying to devise new methods, if you just bear with their confusion for a bit, they soon get the hang of it. And, of course, are at the end of the day much better off for it, because if activities are designed well, and students are doing them, you have the basics of decent language education.</p>\n<p>So this is what my classes are like now. As mentioned, my Thai students are all very punctual - we actually implemented a penalty for lateness in our faculty, so there is this added incentive, but in fact this was specifically introduced to counter the lateness of the Chinese, and I think that just asking the Thai students to be punctual was enough to bring this about. I mention this, in other words, because if you haven\'t taught in Thailand, and you don\'t mention it specifically and harp on it just a little, Thai students will not be punctual, or will drive you crazy with their lateness - this is the first major structural fault in their perception of what their classes are all about, that it doesn\'t matter if they miss the beginning, it can\'t be all that important, with this particular thread unravelled getting them to picture things at all differently is very difficult. They are, however, with the exception of some of the mature age students, who simply become defiantly late, amenable to trying a new outlook, you just have to get on their back a bit about it, or make it quite plain why, for the good of the class, it is a good idea - this is not something that was ever a pressing issue to me, or a problem I found it notably difficult to resolve.</p>\n<p>The students are in there, therefore, when I arrive - in the case of the classes of mixed nationality, which in many ways are the most interesting to observe (although, because of the international students, by far the most difficult to teach), the Thai students will be seated in a little group on one side, and the Chinese on the other. Or, in the case of the latter, because they live to push the limits, hurriedly and damply, on account of their freshness from the shower (I\'m thinking of a morning class), trying to get in their seats and get organised. They still look at me a bit nervously because they know that, having had my morning coffee, I am going to want to talk to them, and there is still that lingering anxiety that they\'re not going to understand what I am going to say, and that I will persist with the process of making them figure it out (which is a vast improvement on being afraid of the situation where they don\'t know where to begin figuring out what I was talking about) - while I talk with them, and become befuddled in my organisation of the equipment, because it is difficult to concentrate on two things at once, they very kindly help me get the plugs in the right places and everything turned on, and if not enjoy then at least give a little of their own input into the conversation. The Thais, while their marks are usually not the best in the class, are much better at conversation than the Chinese - they are more confident, and give much more creative input than the latter, as well as are really the only ones that ask me questions, and that give other prompts to continue the discussion (another point of interest here, I mean, is that they are the ones progressing most rapidly in terms of their reflexivity to situations, and the depth of their response).</p>\n<p>In other words, after a relentless crusade to make this chitter chatter a part of the before class routine, as engaged teachers and students who are juggling interesting stuff, and who are on the lookouts for things in the broader world that bear relation to it - after innumerable awkward lockups on the behalf of the students, whose panic in the face of this normal exposure to language, and whose inability to understand and respond made the act far more of a torment than anything like a light-hearted prelude to lessons - now the students are fully speaking English. They became competent at dealing with the situation, and now for me this kind of communication serves the primary purpose for which it is intended - it is interesting for me to discuss things with my students before our respective roles become more formal, they\'re nice people, and they have a lot of interesting things to tell me. What was, I will repeat, horribly awkward and difficult initially has become kind of comfortable, and our relationship has benefitted - they feel more involved with my lessons, because they can see that I wasn\'t trying to get them to speak to force them to speak before it starts (laying on the pressure right from the word go), I was saying stuff that was genuinely, dare I say it again, &lsquo;human\'. Perhaps I could draw a comparison here with my own experiences in Thailand, people were always saying things to me unsolicited in the shops, and at the ATM machine and so forth, and before I could understand what they were saying I wondered what their problem was, why they couldn\'t just mind their own business - it was a fundamental realisation to me, as I accompany my non-Thai speaking wife through Thailand, to see that in fact Thai people go out of their way on many occasions to tell you something really helpful, like how you have to queue up, or get a ticket or so forth, in a really practical way (they\'re really empathic in the way they know what\'s going to be an obstacle for you). When I saw the full purpose and meaning of what they were doing, I mean, my anxiety turned to appreciation, because I suddenly saw how they were just doing normal, and indeed very friendly things - henceforth I felt comfortable with it. The point is, anyway, the students have a bit of a chat with me before the class, and this is all now very pleasant.</p>\n<p>When I begin whatever we are doing, they all pay attention to the theory and instructions, and now look kind of keen to find out - I\'m just getting used to this, it marks a remarkable, and very wonderful, divergence from the past. When I talk to them about what\'s going on, if they can\'t answer a question they don\'t just sit there like a stunned mullet anymore, or as if I\'ve just sentenced them to the guillotine - after telling them a million times that this was our only recourse, they say &lsquo;I don\'t know\', and we move on, they listen to somebody who does. Better yet, they ask a few of the kinds of questions we might expect of people who are trying to turn things around the right way in their minds, or get an adequate grasp of a concept - all this seems rather mundane when I describe it, but actually it was very hard-won ground, the most difficult thing to turn around was to get the struggling students not to be a spanner in the works, or to raise them to the standard where they were no longer, as we say in Thai, &lsquo;mai roo reu-ung\' (lost the plot, no idea). When we do the activities, they all actually do them, and if they cannot they employ strategies by which to find out how - the ones that didn\'t understand don\'t just sit there hoping they will in due course anymore, they realise that rather than staying out of things the onus is actually on them to try harder than anyone else to get with the picture, so that A. Matt doesn\'t have to return to the same point so repetitively (they realise that by no means will I give up and go away these days, I won\'t be content until everyone is up to speed). And, that it doesn\'t take much to do this, by communicating your desires and difficulties, you can just get somebody to explain.</p>\n<p>What I am getting at with all this being that, in conclusion here, if you want to teach university classes like mine, in particularly regard to Thai classes, if they are school leavers they\'re really as good a bunch of starters as you could ever hope to get. If you try and teach them in a systematic way, you will encounter difficulties - difficulties that might, at first, be inclined to plunge you into the deepest depths of despair. But, don\'t wig out, the problem is that the students are just in the preliminary stages of learning by doing, very few people look like they are enjoying themselves when they are having trouble trying to understand. Actually, they very rapidly get the hang of things, and soon make comprehension-checking and helping with the activities much easier routines for the teacher to perform - then, teaching them is more rewarding than ever, with a decent pedagogy in place they all perform well in their tests, and on top of that are very interesting and entertaining people. The more I find out about how to teach, and the more effective improvements I can get in place - and don\'t imagine for a second I see myself as the &lsquo;good\' teacher I mentioned earlier, the best I could lay claim to is that things are in many ways much better now than they were when first I started teaching - nonetheless, the more improvements I make to my practice, the more satisfaction I get from teaching here; I\'ve said it before, and I will say it again, the project is so interesting that, for me at least, it makes up for the extra money my wife and I forsake from working somewhere else many times over.</p>\n<h3>January Extra</h3>\n<p><strong>Working At My University - What Are the Conditions Like?</strong></p>\n<p>I thought I might talk a little bit here (a little bit more, because this is now in addition to the other article I posted previously, which was hastily penned and submitted because I couldn\'t find where the file for this one had got to in my computers) about what it is like working at my university in Thailand. Why? Well, because it is a job that is increasingly growing on me. Not everything, as I will explain, is what you would call perfect. However, I live in a marvelous place, my job is really interesting, and my Thai colleagues are very supportive, and so overall I have become very contented with my lot.</p>\n<p>The worst thing about working at university in Thailand is, we know, the money. I don\'t know what it is like elsewhere, but my experience of university salaries is this - at one institution I worked, you could make a flat rate of 27 000 baht per month, year in, year out, with no chance of a pay rise, with no end of year bonus, and regardless of your qualifications. On top of which you had to pay your own air fare, and for your own visa and so on. At my present institution, things are a little better - in recognition of the lack of incentive such a scheme offers for people to stay on and develop their careers here, they have adjusted the salary scales, and things really are improved. Now, as a starting rate, if you have a Bachelor\'s degree, you get about 29 000 baht a month. If you have a Master\'s degree, you get about 33 000 a month. And if you have a PhD, you get about 40 000 a month. This is reviewed yearly and, provided you pass your performance assessment, it will be increased annually by about 1300 baht per month. As a base rate, you also get a month\'s bonus, minus the housing allowance (8000 baht per month I have already included in the figures quoted here), at the end of every year - that\'s not quite what you take home, because you have to pay for health insurance and a bit of tax, about 1500 baht per month, this is automatically deducted from your salary.</p>\n<p>Then, there are extra courses to teach during the week, and, unless you are firm in your refusal, in the evenings and on the weekend (teachers are hard to come by in the country); you get 300 baht per hour to do extra lectures in the week, you usually get paid from 5-600 baht per hour to work in the evenings, and for teaching on the weekend, I\'m not sure what the hourly rate is, but for teaching one course, on Sunday, for sixteen weeks, I just got paid around 30 000 baht. If you can publish articles, you get between 500 - 5000 baht a pop as well. And, there are cash bonuses for other types of academic work sometimes, like making course books or editing articles, these types of activity can be very profitable also. I don\'t really count the beans, but I guess my wife and I together take home about three thousand Australian dollars a month, without teaching any privates - that\'s why the money is the bad news, obviously this is but a fraction of the combined income we would make elsewhere.</p>\n<p>But, it doesn\'t bother us. For a variety of reasons - to begin with, the cost of living here is very cheap, so we are able to live very well off a very small portion of our salaries. So cheap, in fact, that secondly, we save up enough so that if we did decide to go back to either Korea or Australia, we don\'t feel like by staying here we are entirely forfeiting our futures. Whether or not I have enough money, in other words, is never an issue that concerns me, although quite obviously I\'m not in line to, in the near future, become the owner of a mansion and a yacht - the advantages so greatly outweigh this and the other disadvantages I will mention here, that the question of the Thai salary has never, quite frankly, caused me to lose a wink of sleep.</p>\n<p>Otherwise, my complaints are very few. It\'s fairly annoying to be a foreigner sometimes, and to have people go all silly all the time when you just want to communicate with them like a normal human being (I speak Thai, by the way, they still do it, you can see how fixed a lot of Thai people\'s perception of the way you are really is). And, to be confronted with either the nationally constructed, or limited-experience/biased-sample stereotypes of what Western people are like. Also, there is the dimension that quite a few parallels could be drawn between present Thailand and white Australia, and of course the mere presence of my parent\'s generation, or the lingering-ness of the pre-information age, mass media formed, McArthyised mentality into my times was bad enough, let alone given having to live in a world that is more directly shaped according to those values - still, I find that conservatism, while you can\'t exactly avoid it, and while it does have some significant and tragic impacts on your academic freedom, isn\'t something that is as secure here as it tries to so desperately make itself. Or, that Thai people are a lot freer than we think, and that to offset that dreadful experience of being confronted by the self-important dogmatist (many of whom, to the misfortune of teachers here, it has come to my attention through teacher training are incumbent in Thailand\'s public schools, that\'s something I don\'t experience in the tertiary sector), there are always a few people around the corner who are a lot more enlightened about the state of their society, and who are going to make you feel a lot better. Look, the fact is, you do have to shut up about what it is like living on the other side of the historical fence sometimes, or keep the implications of our (critical, not pseudo) scientific traditions a secret, this can be very galling - I don\'t seem to experience too much more frustration here than I did working in Australia, however, in fact in many ways it\'s much less.</p>\n<p>Like I say, or if I now expand upon what I said earlier, one of the principal attractions of working here is that my colleagues are cool. The university academics I work with, I mean, are really nice people, really nice to me, and really educated and interesting. I\'m not always the best teacher, I can assure readers, but, rather than breathing down my neck all the time, they recognize I\'m trying my hardest, and very sensitively support and encourage me - there\'s no way I\'m going to throw this away, when I think about the other places I have worked at, where I was at best a chattel, and at worst a threat, if I did ever manage to do a good job, to the established teachers, who would thus treat less experienced teachers unhelpfully and unkindly, this is absolutely heaven! It\'s really easy to learn from the academics at my university, too, they know a lot of things specific to teaching English and other subjects to Thai students, and they are really dignified, and never condescending, in the way they help you out (I\'ve never had a one come over and give me any pompous &lsquo;advice\', despite that there have been occasions when it would have been warranted, they are entirely collaborative) - this factor alone, or the fact that I do have the best of environments in which to develop my knowledge and skills, is pretty much of its own accord enough to tie me to this job.</p>\n<p>In addition, as I also started out by saying here, my job is really interesting. My Thai students have really pleasant natures, and even the Chinese have now shown me a much more appealing side, and so they are by no means the most difficult of people to teach - in fact, I number them amongst the most pleasant. And I really enjoy the project, looking at where my students are on the path to knowledge, and how to take them further (how to contribute to helping them live knowledgeable, meaningful, happy, self-determined and socially and economically productive lives; how to introduce them to the cutting edge of human intellectual life) is something I can get right into. I mean, I have to research interesting and important things to teach my students, and then figure out efficient ways to make them get it - this is a fascinating occupation, as long as I haven\'t been stressed out by an extensive workload, at which times I tend to become a bit less effusive than you see me here, I just can\'t wait to get into my office each day and get on with it. The teacher, it has often been said, learns more from the act of teaching than does the student, because it is us who are trusted to become the authorities - I really like learning, it is what I would do if I didn\'t have a job, and so that it is my job seems to me to absolutely be a miracle.</p>\n<p>So there you have it. You might not make a lot of money to send home. And you might meet a few people who wouldn\'t be out of place in Victorian England. Thai people are by and large more pleasant than a lot of cultures to begin with, however, and as is the case anywhere education only makes them nicer - so, overall, my university is a very nice place to work. Enlightened academic culture is less developed here, and so you have to make provision for this - like I say, though, the Thais are keen to learn, my students, if I do a good job, tend to be quick learners, and so bringing them up to speed is truly fascinating work. It\'s not all as gloomy, in other words, as some would make it out to be - let\'s not forget either that not only do I have a job that suits me, I also happen to live in one of the most environmentally appealing places in the world. Actually, I probably owe the Thais a lot more than they owe me, they also treated me famously well when I came here as an exchange student all those years ago - still, they\'re not resentful, the thing about Thai people is you really only have to make the very minimum of effort to try and do your best by them to have them absolutely glowing with appreciation.</p>\n</p>','','2009-01-03 00:18:15',1,'2009-01-03 00:18:15','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(486,6,'The word farang','the-word-farang','What does this strange word really mean?','Many foreigners in Thailand seem to even wear the term Farang as though it were a badge of honor…Thai people will call you it while you walk down the street, your native friends will call you it, and other foreigners even refer to themselves as “Farang.” I do not believe that this term is generally meant to be an insult, this is simply our title in Thai society, and, if we do not like it, there is nothing we can do about it.’','<p>I think a good topic for discussion this time around is the word &lsquo;farang\'. If you want a few theories about where it comes from, you can check out Wikipedia (and don\'t I tire of Thai people, whenever you bring the subject up, offering one of these theories as immediate evidence of their exclusive knowledge of the word, when such far more comprehensive overviews are instantly available even in other languages - as if I didn\'t look at least this far, duh, rather than supporting any assertion about how you think I should understand it you are considerably diminishing in my eyes your ability to grasp the full implications of what you, yourself, are saying - why is it always the ones who are most indiscriminate in their use of this word who tend to do this?). My interest is to make some other observations; the first of these is that, when they completed a survey that asked them about the attitude of all the farangs in their experience towards this word that appears in one of their course books, my students overwhelmingly indicated that they (the farangs), were &lsquo;mostly uncomfortable\' with it. So we have some evidence that by and large Caucasians don\'t like to be called farangs by Thai people. And, that despite their full knowledge of this, Thai people nonetheless continue to feel justified to do so. What the nature of that justification might be is a very complex issue, some of which will be touched upon here later; just this much, though, I am sure you will agree, is actually rather interesting.</p>\n<p>Bringing me to the second observation I want to make here; when you look at the popular discourse regarding this word in the English language, you can see that Caucasians actually exhibit a variety of responses to it. Some people hate the word in principle, or think it is altogether bad; certainly, the following posting from &lsquo;Mandrunk\', when I discuss it with my students, leaves even the shallowest thinkers disposed to agree that it is not altogether harmless. Any thinking person can, I mean, empathise with Mandrunk, and thus feel sympathy for this person, when we read their lament; at OrientExpat.com (www.orientexpat.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4468), this is what was posted.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;How do you feel about being referred to in this way? From my point of view, when I spend long periods in rural Thailand, I grow very weary of locals who see me every day refer to me as \'The Farang\', even though they know my name. Worse still, they will often refer to me as such when talking to my partner as though I wasn\'t even there. To me, it is insulting and I am deeply offended by it in the long term. I feel it is no better in this case than being called n##ger, long nose, roundeyes, whitey, spick, polak, kraut etc etc etc.</p>\n<p>However, if you don\'t spend much time in a country I guess it can be humourous and fun to have a bunch of schoolkids shout \'Farang Farang\' at you in the most innocent way possible and to be seen as a curiosity and in that case, what\'s the problem?... but when does it get too much for you, when your name effectively becomes \'Farang\'?\'</p>\n<p>On the other hand, though, we can see that some Caucasians take a very opposite perspective - there are those, of course, who are inclined to believe that the word farang is not in any way inoffensive, and who would even wear it as a &lsquo;badge of honour\'. &lsquo;Wade\', on the About.com travel guide (http://www.hobotraveler.com/ni_thailand-nicknames-for-foreigners.php) offers evidence of this mentality; &lsquo;he\' (which is presuming quite a lot) tells us that:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Many foreigners in Thailand seem to even wear the term Farang as though it were a badge of honor...Thai people will call you it while you walk down the street, your native friends will call you it, and other foreigners even refer to themselves as \"Farang.\" I do not believe that this term is generally meant to be an insult, this is simply our title in Thai society, and, if we do not like it, there is nothing we can do about it.\'</p>\n<p>So there you go - quite obviously, when you do look at what people are saying about the word in the public forum, there are those who are indeed off it, or who see the word &lsquo;farang\' as intrinsically bad. That\'s certainly not everybody, however; there are definitely those around who would argue quite the opposite. A more compromising perspective, perhaps, is to say that there are uses of the word where offence is neither intended or implied - I don\'t have an adequate grasp of the full breadth of Thai language discourse by which to offer an educated opinion here, although I must say that people I know who on all other counts treat me very well and sensitively do on occasion refer to me or mine as &lsquo;farangs\', which does support this view. But, that there are problems with the word, to the degree moreover that in this case it might become an item of lexicon that will be gradually phased out of use.</p>\n<p>Here are a couple of examples of attitude number three, or of the more compromising attitude - at IntoAsia.com (www.into-asia.com/thai_language/farang.php), for instance, we come across the following material:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Even if you can speak no other words of Thai, most European and American visitors to Thailand will quickly become familiar with the Thai word farang (often mispronounced (even by Thais) as falang - farang with a slightly trilled \'r\' is the correct pronunciation.) It\'s basically used to describe caucasians, though African-Americans will sometimes also be known as farang or as farang dam (\'black farang\'). Farang is also the Thai word for the guava fruit, so you can expect to hear farang eating farang \'jokes\' if you happen to purchase any.</p>\n<p>Other Asians are generally known by their country of origin (e.g. kon jeen - \"Chinese people\", kon yee-bpun - \"Japanese people\"), while people from the Indian Subcontinent are often known as kairk (which translates as \"guest\"). Kairk is used to describe even fluent Thai speakers of Indian descent who have been living in Thailand for generations and consider themselves as Thai - obviously being referred to as a \'guest\' in these circumstances, while not particularly offensive, is not exactly complimentary either.</p>\n<p>Some people get very offended at being called farang, but whether it\'s an insult should or not really depends on the context. A few Thais who are uncomfortable with using it will say kon dtahng bpra-tayt (\'people from other countries\') instead, but this is still pretty rare. Farang is basically a neutral word, but people who respect you (or who should respect you) will not use it - if you hear a work colleague, for example, refer to you as farang they probably mean it as an insult while a taxi driver or market vendor doing the same is unlikely to mean any offense at all.\'</p>\n<p>The point being, as I say, that while the material definitely doesn\'t cast the word &lsquo;farang\' in the most positive of lights, we do find a firm assertion that whether the word is insulting or not &lsquo;depends on the context\', and that in some contexts is unlikely to be intended to cause &lsquo;any offense at all\'. &lsquo;The Farang\' (I again presume) at TheFarang.com (and who better to give their opinion?), offers a similar interpretation; there (www.thefarang.com/farang), we are told that:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Farang is most commonly used to describe white Westerners although black people from the US or UK (or other Western countries) may also be referred to as farang or farang dam (black farang). These is some debate on whether or not the term is offensive. In general it is a neutral word intended as nothing more than a description of the person. It can be used as an insult though which is why there is some debate. It depends on the context of how it\'s used much like many other descriptors. For instance if someone were to say \"She has a farang husband,\" then it\'s a neutral word communicating the fact that her husband is non-Thai. If someone who you know well were to use the word in a sentence like \"Here comes the farang,\" it is probably meant as an insult.\'</p>\n<p>Again, such description doesn\'t exclude the casting of any negative light on the word; however, again we are told that whether or not we should take offense is context dependent, and that there are possibly instances where the meaning is altogether neutral.</p>\n<p>Following on from which it becomes very easy to say what sort of problems might be intrinsically associated with the word, or why, as my students verified, the majority of Caucasian people seem more on the side of Mandrunk than Wade; after giving it some consideration, this is what seems to lie essentially at the heart of this conundrum. Firstly, Thai people are using the same word for a person that they do for a fruit - you don\'t find English categorising people biologically, or at least not in any polite sense that I can think of, by using words that relate to non-human objects (please someone, correct me if I am wrong) - I guess, because we do feel, like Thais, that to use the same pronoun to refer to people that we do to non-human things is a bad thing, or that there should be some division here of sorts, that subconsciously this lends itself to the generation of angst (the double standards don\'t help out here either). On top of this, this homonym means that the title chosen for Caucasians is in part inextricably linked to, or in essence is perennially constituted in part by, a joke - that this should be something that doesn\'t ride well with the people it intrinsically makes fun of is very clearly demonstrated by this posting from theThailandqa.com forum. How is it, the poster (www.thailandqa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1293) invites us to think, when you buy a yummy guava from the market to appease the basic human instinct of hunger, and someone says:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;\"Farang chob farang\", and then they [a whole bunch of people who we might normally expect to mind their own business] all point and laugh and you have this blank look on your face as you try to chew the last bit and swallow it down so you can at least laugh at yourself...\'</p>\n<p>You don\'t feel very good at all. It\'s like yes, let\'s all laugh at me, even though you don\'t know me, just because of how I look - this is hardly, we could fairly say, the sort of strategy that if we thought about it is guaranteed, by any standards, to endear other people to us.</p>\n<p>Then, we have the dimension that - coming in at problem number two here - the term categorises people too broadly. &lsquo;Capricious\', on the Ajarn.com forum (www.ajarnforum.net/vb/the-virtual-pub/29556-category-farang-2.html), demonstrates this quite amusingly; to save you going there, I have included the entire post:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Farang...have you ever wondered just how large of a generalization it is? Well I have, and I am bored at work, so let\'s figure this out.</p>\n<h3>Countries and Populations Belonging to Farangastan</h3>\n<p>1. United States - 303,645,612 10. Poland - 38,115,967<br />2. Russia - 142,499,000 11. Canada - 33,211,200<br />3. Germany - 82,210,000 12. Uzbekistan - 27,372,000<br />4. France - 64,473,140 13. Australia - 21,228,525<br />5. United Kingdom - 60,587,300 14. Netherlands - 16,408,691<br />6. Italy - 59,337,888 15. Greece - 11,147,000<br />7. South Africa - 47,850,700 16. Belgium - 10,584,534<br />8. Ukraine - 46,398,114 17. Czech Republic - 10,349,372<br />9. Spain - 45,200,737 18. Belarus - 9,714,000 <br />19. Sweden - 9,182,927 29. Ireland - 4,339,000<br />20. Hungary - 10,053,000 30. New Zealand - 4,260,500<br />21. Austria - 8,327,709 31. Moldova - 3,794,000<br />22. Switzerland - 7,591,400 32. Lithuania - 3,366,200<br />23. Israel - 7,254,500[ 33. Kosovo - 2,126,708<br />24. Denmark - 5,475,791 34. Slovenia - 2,024,466<br />25. Slovakia - 5,398,629 35. Estonia - 1,340,600<br />26. Finland - 5,305,262 36. Iceland - 313,376<br />27. Norway - 4,748,300 37. Greenland - 58,000<br />28. Croatia - 4,555,000</p>\n<p>So as we can see the word \"farang\" lumps together at least 37 different countries with at least 37 different cultures....arguably one-third to one-forth of the world\'s total population. A pretty vast generalization. The sad thing is many Thais feel that people from all of these countries are one in (sic.) the same. I\'ve talked to some Thais that were absolutely shocked when I revealed to them that all \"farang\" do not speak English. They thought it was one of the inherent abilities that came with white skin. So I asked do you speak bali or tagalog? \"No\". Well why not, you have a similar shade of skin ?\'</p>\n<p>As well as ignoring people\'s national and cultural identities, in other words, or overlooking unique aspects of these identities that people often hold important, the word can also be seen to have a lot of potential here to bother people because it makes one other fatal mistake - it throws non-Americans, and even people like Russians, in with Americans, it throws the French and the Irish in the same basket as the English, and it throws Western European people in with Eastern European people, amongst other such faux pas - regardless of the justifications for ignoring people\'s objections here, my true objective just being to try and explain why Caucasians burr up at this word, I would guess that this is a generalisation (a perceived attempt at stereotyping, perhaps) that will never go down too well. It almost seems contrived, in fact, in this case, to promote discontent.</p>\n<p>Nor is this the extent of the problems - coming in at number three now there is the fact that this word &lsquo;farang\' is associated in the general Thai mindset with some very negative impressions. At moments when I have observed resentment boil over, or when I could pinpoint the &lsquo;dark side\', semantically speaking, of the word &lsquo;farang\', these are the kinds of stereotypes I\'ve generally found on offer; Thai people, to phrase it like this, are thinking (via notes I have taken over time in my journal of some genuine expressions of what kind of people Thais have said they understand farangs to be, as well as the affirmation of my students):</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Rich tourist coming for a cheap holiday at our expense (because they are rich, and made us poor); Pattaya, Phuket, farang men and bar girls (prostitution, sex shows); old farang men getting a young Thai wife, or even molesting children, because they have the money; teachers with less qualifications than Thais, or even no degree at all, who are very unfairly getting much higher salaries than qualified Thai teachers, and who are able to live a better life in Thailand than they can back home, because they are farang; Christian missionaries pretending to help Thai people while they get more people who will pay money to their church; someone who has more money than sense, and who is too stupid to realise, let alone resent the fact, they are being cheated by special high prices in Thailand....\'</p>\n<p>Amongst a whole bunch of other altogether very uncomplimentary things - the point is, if this is some of the &lsquo;cultural baggage\' that hangs off the word in their minds, and one doesn\'t happen to belong to any of these categories, to be called a farang, especially if putting you in one of these categories seems to be their obvious intention, is highly offensive. I have particular experience of this - my wife is Korean, not Thai, and if you heard some of the lewd and rude things that complete strangers said to her because they wrongly assumed she was some bargirl (which fortunately she cannot understand), just because she was with a &lsquo;farang\'...well, quite obviously, if it reflects like this on my wife, there are definitely times I don\'t want to be called a farang.</p>\n<p>The final problem being, of course, as Mandrunk already demonstrated, or the final reason the word &lsquo;farang\' might be inclined to produce resentment amongst the people to whom it is applied (problem number four that I can think of)...the final problem we can see with the word &lsquo;farang\' is that it seems suspiciously like words that, in my country Australia, for example, formerly rolled off people\'s tongues without the slightest inclination on their behalf that there could be anything wrong with them, but that we have since reconsidered to the extent that they are now prohibited. I\'m talking, of course, about words like &lsquo;gook\' (to describe &lsquo;han-gook saram\', or Korean people), or &lsquo;nip\' (to describe &lsquo;nipponese\', or Japanese people). Which, while they just seem like abbreviations, or something you wouldn\'t imagine anyone (with your big red neck, ho, ho, ho) would get all het up about, for reasons touched on here already in fact, when we looked past our own noses, were highly offensive to the people we once used to think nothing of calling such things. Again, I don\'t know how much of a comparison can be drawn here, because my knowledge of Thai discourse is insufficient to do anything more really than speculate, and my students weren\'t able to be of much help because they similarly do not understand the English words enough to comment - the point is though, there are some grounds to draw, and people obviously are drawing, these comparisons, again we have here a definite perceived, if not real reason, to say the word &lsquo;farang\' has some problems.</p>\n<p>Which about wraps up everything I wanted to say here. I\'ll just go through the main points again, to keep things in perspective - my observations were that in Thai people\'s experiences they know most Caucasians don\'t like to be called farangs, but for the most part continue to feel justified to continue doing so, which suggests they have reasons. Maybe these reasons are legitimate, maybe the word is essentially neutral - or maybe, they justify it as a postcolonial backlash, or as a valid generalization in terms of the sample of Caucasians with which they are familiar, you wouldn\'t say that they would be completely without grounds to do so. Not all Caucasians, however, are actually offended by the word, there are people who are proud to be &lsquo;The Farang\' - certainly, it is not too difficult to see where the observed angst derives from, there are a lot of things about the word, including some things in its very nature, that are going to make the people to whom it is applied feel prickly (and, as I said in introduction here, that might one day signal the demise of the word). As a final word of my own, I, personally, have never felt comfortable with the term, mainly on the grounds that most of what people think when you say the word &lsquo;farang\' are the negative stereotypes, and while I understand the Thai people\'s positions I don\'t like to be thrown in these categories - also, one of the most respected Thai educationalists in my acquaintance once told me very convincingly that the word is intrinsically &lsquo;teu leung\', or &lsquo;cheeky\', if you have a full and introspective feel for it, one of the reasons people who often use it are so staunch in its defense is because of the sneaking suspicion they themselves uphold that what they are doing is wrong. I don\'t spin out at anyone, though, unless slight is obviously intended (I err on the side of caution, often, I guess, at my own expense) - like I say, I don\'t have enough of an understanding here to get on my high horse about anything.</p>','','2009-02-01 00:27:26',1,'2009-02-01 00:27:26','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(487,6,'The root of all evil','the-root-of-all-evil','A return to the subject of student materials','I think choosing content that encourages students to think in scientific ways facilitates their English language acquisition. ','<p>I wouldn\'t mind returning to the subject of materials this month. What puts this topic at the forefront of my mind is that I was teaching out of this book the other day, and I noted that its listening and speaking lessons prominently featured topics of conversation like Feng Shui, what it is like to attend a spiritual retreat, and, in its apparently sincere &lsquo;First Aid\' section, the advisability of drinking eight glasses of water a day (which I understand is the archetypal urban myth). I would add, too, that this book was published by a well thought of Western institution. My argument being, simply, could we not admit that such a book would be improved by having students think and talk about something a bit more meaningful? In fact, that\'s what I want to say here this month, if you do introduce things that get students\' brains going through the motions that, if they choose to work on it, might one day turn them into a creative or scientific genius (if you do give them the basics we can provide on the road to perhaps one day being something better), then really, unlike the book I just mentioned, you kill two birds with one stone - not only do you have the students practicing their language skills, you are also training their minds in the ways of thinking that are the true font of good learning, or that will really enable them to get the most out of their English lessons.\n<p>Although it belittles the true benefits of getting students to practice their logical, linear, rational thinking skills, and of fuelling their imaginations in this way, of course, to say that the only advantage gained is in terms of their English education - do I really need to spell out the benefits of sticking to the aims of enlightened education, while rational thinking (which can be applied in some ways and not others) has certainly made the traditional exploitation of people and the environment in many ways far more efficient (leading to the ironic situation where the followers of tradition ward off the challenge posed to many aspects of their beliefs by science by saying &lsquo;look, you can clearly see scientific thinking isn\'t universally a good thing\'), is it not also responsible for all the true and wonderful improvements that have taken place in the way people live their lives, and is it not the light at the end of the tunnel in dealing with our woes? All I\'m saying to begin with, I mean, is that the human species wasn\'t born with knowledge, we were born with a capacity to manufacture knowledge (which is, in its ideal form, simply an inner working &lsquo;model\' of ourselves and of our universe we possess that allows us to tell the future, and to figure out useful relationships between things, and to put things in our world together in ways that give us marvelous technologies, and so on), and so there have been stages in the development of the neural &lsquo;software\' that allows us to construct this ideal form of knowledge - the latest &lsquo;update\' comes from what scientists call the &lsquo;great leap forward\', or from the scientific revolution, it\'s the ability to think mathematically/scientifically, if we had the opportunity to in some way cultivate this ability in students, why would we pass up on the opportunity? (In favour, furthermore, although I\'ll not head down this particular road any further, of encouraging the kinds of &lsquo;harmless\' silly beliefs that can legitimise the presence of much more damaging ones?)</p>\n<p>At which stage I can hear the groans of people saying why does learning have to be so serious, which is their way of saying why can\'t it be &lsquo;interesting\' and &lsquo;fun\' (by focusing on &lsquo;real life\' and so on, as if this needs to be perpetuated) - this is the typical argument of people who don\'t have very well developed abilities for rational thinking, or much of a repository of contemporary scientific knowledge to rely on (knowledge that derives from all the enlightened sectors of all academic fields), quite naturally its difficult to appreciate something you know little about and really do not understand. I\'m not saying that I am much of an intellectual giant either, far from it you don\'t have to talk too long to me to find out about all the things I don\'t know about - this just adds weight to what I\'m saying, however, the fact that someone who is nowhere near the ideal I\'m aspiring to can see this much surely indicates we\'re talking here about something that is intrinsically fascinating. The point is, in other words, that it denigrates the wondrousness of our universe, and of the intellectual achievements human beings have made, to suggest that scientific thinking, and the knowledge that scientific thinking has brought about, are not interesting, or are not what normal human beings would find engaging - the people who think this probably had teachers who didn\'t know much scientific knowledge, and who didn\'t cultivate much scientific thinking themselves, because it is when the tool-user is unfamiliar with their equipment that its uses go unappreciated, and its implementation becomes a failure. The question becomes, I mean, is there no topic of conversation that will develop students\' scientific knowledge and scientific thinking (get them to marvel at and try and understand the wonder of their world) that is as interesting or more interesting than talking about Feng Shui? If you say no to that, or if you say the time your students spend studying at an educational institution couldn\'t be spent more productively overall by taking such a question into account, then perhaps you really need to think things over.</p>\n<p>I\'m not suggesting shoving feminism or environmental issues down five-year olds\' throats, either. But what I do want to say here is that if given the choice between teaching some kids some simple nouns by getting them to name the items out of fashion advertisements that are going to make Ken and Barbie look best, or, as was the case in a lesson given to me to check by one of our Thai postgraduates recently, by collectivising wonderful pictures of the insects of our region beneath their appropriate &lsquo;bug, grub, ant\' heading, I\'d definitely go for the latter kind of lesson (it had been made to be terribly fun, and at the heart of all the games and frivolity the students were using real-world pictures and information to practice their powers of description and classification). Furthermore, in terms of my own students, I like my courses to feature genuine academic issues, and to focus on key contributors in each field - rather than giving them material that is designed for younger people than themselves, or that is drawn from the mass media and representative exclusively of mainstream consumer culture, I have this funny little dream (in keeping with the principles behind my own education, why would I dish out anything less here) that making real academic material accessible and enjoyable to them will somehow be better for them. We perhaps need to take the attitude, I mean, that stuff that increases the powers of students\' intellects is interesting, or at the beginner end of things can certainly be made very interesting, and that if students are off it it is not perhaps the content\'s fault - there are other settings you have to tweak to make it all successful, it might be necessary to turn our attention to those instead.</p>\n<p>Here, too, is why I think choosing content that encourages students to think in scientific ways facilitates their English language acquisition. Learning a language is actually a very scientific process that involves the application of logic, and that is enhanced by advanced analytical skills - we don\'t call the breakthroughs we make when learning other languages &lsquo;eureka moments\' for nothing, this is when you at last figure out the rationale for how some pieces of a language you have been given actually go together. Which, of course, means that making breakthroughs entails logical, rational thinking, and that the better you are at this, or the more trained your mind has become at doing this, the more rapidly and frequently breakthroughs will presumably be made. I could put it another way, too, although it is a lot more indirect (the connections aren\'t as obvious) - if you can encourage your students to start thinking like a scientist about language, or to look at it like a device that has a purpose (to communicate and activate thought processes), and that is made of working parts that go together to achieve that purpose (giving you the kind of scientific description of language that a linguistics text contains), they will see that to be competent in a language actually involves having a repertoire of knowledges and skills (information you need to have downloaded in your mind, and things you have to be able to do with it). When they understand this, they will see what they have to actually get from lessons, thus giving them something tangible to focus on, and thus leaving them better equipped to appreciate the value of your teaching - because contemporary lessons are based on this view of language, and aim to facilitate the acquisition of the necessary skills and knowledges in pointed ways, they will better be able to understand the rationale of their design, and participate in them more effectively. To get them thinking like a scientist about language, we could either get them to think rationally about things in general, or to rationalise their world more in general, which we hope will rub off onto English, or which we hope will naturally get them to start subjecting it to this kind of introspection (which is what I have been arguing we should do at every level via an auspicious choice of content). Or, we can explicitly teach the scientific view of language and language learning, or raise their metacognitive and metalinguistic awareness. Or, because the point of doing this diminishes in proportion to the age of the students, perhaps most importantly of all we can make sure that each and every student goes through each of the steps, and can successfully complete the steps, in good contemporary lessons - their design does stem from the desired view of language, and by doing this we are thus putting all the pieces in place that will allow them to intuit this desired understanding, via repetition (of the teaching and learning method), for themselves.</p>\n<p>I think, actually, that this is what lies at the heart of the problems I have experienced with &lsquo;passive learning\', because as Phil Roeland pointed out last month there are many schools that have good syllabuses in place in Thailand, that my students don\'t put a lot of importance on paying attention to what I am saying, and on doing learning workouts properly, when first I get them cannot be blamed on a lack of proper planning - rather, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that teachers haven\'t made students go through the motions in the way they should enough to make them familiar with what their lessons are trying to accomplish, and thus enthusiastic about doing them. Nor have they helped students who were otherwise willing to do this, but couldn\'t, with very much the same outcome, if you can\'t make it through the motions successfully you\'re similarly denied the sort of understanding of English language learning that is conducive to its success. A lot of what lies at the heart of what stands between my students and being successful learners, in other words, I feel now is that their teachers at school didn\'t put them under the sort of compulsion to engage with lessons that quells disruptions and creates a good communicative learning environment, as well as that coerces those that are stricken with anxiety to actually get those brain cogs turning and get over it (wherever I have been, it\'s more like pay attention if you want, but I\'m not going to make you if you don\'t, in fact I don\'t care less if you sit there without saying anything, or even make phone calls, or have a sleep, or run riot up the back) - they also teach from out the front, often with a microphone, and fail to head around at all and see how everybody is going. Like the students, I would say, they don\'t have much of a scientific understanding of language in general, let alone English, and thus much of an understanding of contemporary English language teaching methods (this is the country, and a shortage of teachers means they are often teachers of other subjects, along with other contributing factors we might see to add here) - thus, as Phil said, they don\'t really appreciate very well what they are actually setting forth to achieve, or therefore how to apply them most effectively.</p>\n<p>Whatever way you want to look at it, I want to return to the point I made a couple of months back, in conclusion here, that there are two things that definitely helped me enormously in making my teaching more successful. Firstly, we implemented at our university a set of behavioural rules, backed up with substantial punitive measures, that carefully articulated what students had to do to be effective learners, and to create an effective learning environment (not too much to expect at all, or by no means an unreasonable expectation) - I didn\'t start out with much of an emphasis on codes of behaviour, look at my email address for heaven\'s sake, but I can definitely say now that they are a tremendously important part of making teaching here successful. Which probably doesn\'t help a lot of you, I know, I think that is definitely one place where EFL school teachers get cooked, the institution gives foreign teachers no power whatsoever to affect their students\' behaviours in this way, half the time the native teacher who is supposed to look after that end of things for you doesn\'t show up and you\'re left in the worst of predicaments. The other thing I did, along with making the students get with the lesson in the way they are supposed to via some rules, was make sure that every student was being given equal opportunity to participate in class, and that each and every one of them was given the help they needed to do so successfully (which involved me speaking to every one of them in equal quantities, and making the others have the patience to be quiet and give strugglers the opportunity to get a feel for what they had to do to respond correctly, as well as constant individual consultations both during and outside classes - walking around when I said to do something and checking they could do it were most important here, because I found they don\'t tell you if they can\'t) - if I was to give you two things to do in Thailand, these would be them, while it certainly wasn\'t easy to apply either of these solutions the outcome for me, personally, and I feel for my institution in general, was certainly very worth it. I enjoy my job so much more now that my students are interested and engaged, this and the fact that their exam scores have become what I hoped for are the most tangible benefits that have been derived from the experience.</p>\n</p>','','2009-03-01 00:59:41',1,'2009-03-01 00:59:41','2009-07-15 15:03:42'),(488,11,'Terry of the Bangkok Post','terry-of-the-bangkok-post','What\'s black and white and read all over?','To promote learning via newspapers, Terry Fredrickson has turned to the technology that many children love most – the Internet.','<p>Starting his career as an educator in Thailand over forty years ago, Terry Fredrickson cuts to the edge of English skills development with his sharp use of newspapers <br />\n<p>Imagine that you arrived in Thailand to teach English in 1968; sent as a new volunteer to a remote mountain range, 13 kilometers from the nearest city! Try visualizing the difficulty in putting together lesson plans for a reading class without access to the Internet, modern textbooks, or even a basic library. How would you teach? What resources would you turn to? Where could you exchange ideas about education with like-minded teachers?</p>\n<p>Terry Fredrickson is one man who has faced this exact situation head on. As a Peace Corp volunteer, he found himself working at a small teacher training college near Nakorn Sri Thammarat from 1968-1971. At this time, western teaching methods were nearly unheard of in the country, only four international schools existed, and the Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) industry - as we know it - was virtually unborn.</p>\n<p>From these humble beginnings, Fredrickson has developed thousands of online lesson plans, published a plethora of books for English learners, and founded an entire newspaper section that focused on education. Read on to see where he is heading within the TEFL industry, and how you can personally benefit as a teacher from what he has to offer.</p>\n<h3>Getting the scoop</h3>\n<p>As Fredrickson remembers, \"At that time, the teacher training schools in Thailand (the forerunner of the Rajabhat universities) all used a massive grammar-based textbook. It was all grammar explanations and grammar drills ... I had a terrible time with it.\" Luckily, his Peace Corp training gave him some impressive drills and other methodological skills, \"but one day it occurred to me that all that the students were doing was learning structure. Meaning was only secondary.\"</p>\n<p>Lacking alternative resources, Fredrickson started creating his own material, which was quickly adopted by other teachers at his school. This evolved into the creation of his own textbook, \"English for College Students\", which was once used by half the teacher training colleges in Thailand.</p>\n<p>After 13 years of developing curriculum for teachers in Thailand, he left in 1981 to get the scoop on a Master\'s Degree in TEFL at the University of Minnesota. When he finally returned, he discovered it more meaningful to go straight to the headlines.</p>\n<h3>Pressing on: North, East, West, and South</h3>\n<p>Imagine waking up at 6AM to design numerous lessons that would be faxed non-stop on four computers for daily \"broadcast\" runs lasting four to five hours. Try visualizing the difficulty of promoting this technology in 1993 to encourage Thai learners to develop English skills for understanding newspapers. Keep in mind that most Thai private schools were not even legally allowed to teach English until 1994 and that English had yet to be made a compulsory subject for Grade 1 pupils.</p>\n<p>Well, starting on September 17, 1993, Fredrickson did exactly that. \"With the Bangkok Post, I had so much material every day to choose from,\" he explains, but the problem is that newspapers are \"likely to be full of vocabulary and topics that the reader has never dealt with before. That is where technology comes in.\"</p>\n<p>By faxing lessons, English became more accessible to Thai readers even if they were located in remote areas. Faxing also helped them get acquainted with the \"inverted pyramid\" writing style favored by journalists, which stacks the most important data in the first few paragraphs and tapers in the finer details later.</p>\n<h3>Learning from the Post</h3>\n<p>Readers\' interest quickly took root and, before long, the faxed lessons evolved into a series of weekly submissions that were tucked into the classified section of the Bangkok Post starting on May 19, 1997. The articles included the reproduction of material translated from English into Thai script so that both locals and expatriates could benefit.</p>\n<p>Fredrickson and staff produced these education-based articles to such a large degree that the column quickly expanded to a six-page weekly section, and \"Learning Post\" was officially born on December 11, 2001.</p>\n<p>\"My main focus was on interesting developments in education here in Thailand. Since many of our readers would likely be sending their children to international schools, \" he explains, \"I spent a lot of time acquainting them with what the different international systems had to offer. And when English programs began to take off in the Thai system, I quickly added that to my list. I also spent a lot of time looking at what the revised national curriculum aimed to do and how it was to be implemented.\"</p>\n<p>While still working as an editor at the Learning Post, Fredrickson published, \"English by Newspaper\" - a book of lessons that encourages Thai learners to read. Soon afterward, he launched a series of seminars and workshops nationwide along with teammate Ajarn Sunee Siidao, who also penned the popular and sorely missed column of translations known as \"Phut Prasa Thai\".</p>\n<h3>How to Get Thais to Read</h3>\n<p>It is not easy to persuade Thai readers to enjoy reading, let alone in English. A recent Bangkok Post article points out that 22.4 million Thais do not read in their daily life. The Thais that do read only average about two books per year - compared with 40 to 50 books read annually by Singaporeans and the Vietnamese who average 60. And to make matters worse, the number of public libraries in Thailand is miniscule nationwide and totally lacking in some remote areas. In this environment, how can teachers get students to make the leap toward English newspapers?</p>\n<p>On technique is to start with the material that Thais are already reading. Fredrickson has often used cartoons for lessons because they \"have clearly defined characters and recurrent themes.\" He points out that, \"If I were teaching, I would assign different groups of students to follow the same comic strip every day for a month, so they can start seeing some of the continuity.\"</p>\n<p>He also notices that even computer games have potential. Children are reading menus, viewing onscreen instructions, using manuals to figure out key commands, and researching on the Internet for \"cheats\" or tips about how to play the game more effectively. They might even be developing writing skills by asking other kids for information on gaming forums. \"For many kids, it is far from mindless,\" but Fredrickson adds, \"The teacher would really have to know the video game to make this work.\"</p>\n<p>To promote learning via newspapers, Fredrickson has turned to the technology that many children love most - the Internet. In recent years, he has spent a great deal of energy into building his website: www.readbangkokpost.com.</p>\n<p>The Internet is a tool that young learners are already comfortable with, and they can surf this website in a hurry for material that is appropriate for their level. By going online, these resources have become freely accessible all over Thailand, and the time required for distribution is drastically cut down.</p>\n<p>The newspaper\'s writing style is ideal for learners, Fredrickson believes, because \"the inverted pyramid gives them at least three chances to understand the main idea: once in the headline, once in the first paragraph, and at least once in the main body.\" Although newspapers can be intimidating, \"the newspaper is for everyone and there is a huge variety of content.\" Students can easily browse this website for stories that they would like to read.</p>\n<h3>Read All About It</h3>\n<p>Fredrickson is a very prolific writer. Every day, he usually posts 2-3 new lessons online before 11AM, as well as several others that have been already prepared in advance. \"Teachers should be aware that when a big news event occurs, there is likely to be a lesson waiting for them to use on our website,\" he notes.</p>\n<p>\"Our website visitors go overwhelmingly for the main news story I do each day, plus the simplified story in Easy English News,\" Fredrickson observes. They already have a background to these stories from the Thai media, which helps them to learn at a quicker rate.</p>\n<p>Readbangkokpost.com also showcases news material for learners of business English and a section that adapts stories for younger children. A popular section is called \"Mainly for Fun\", and it focuses on light and entertaining stories for readers. A heavy emphasis throughout the website is vocabulary development, so news articles are usually accompanied by a list of words, definition, and even some translations.</p>\n<p>However, Fredrickson wishes to stress that he is not a reading specialist. \"I almost always suggest speaking activities based on the readings. I also have a lot of experience teaching listening, and that is why I include mp3 sound files with most my lessons,\" he says. Students can listen to an article as it is read while practicing their speaking skills.</p>\n</p>','','2008-12-01 01:05:10',1,'2008-12-01 01:05:10','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(489,11,'Lost Stories','lost-stories','Experiences with one of Thailand’s most progressive educators ','He single-handedly broke every stereotype of the Ministry of Education.

(Retrospective side note: Having untimely run out of batteries for my camera, I was forced to run three kilometers and wade through a drainage ditch in order to buy new ones. Dogs chased me all the way back. This shot was taken while still huffing from lack of breath).</p>\n<p>Christmas Eve sizzled with heat, and the steam of slow moving traffic wafted upward into a polluted haze. My taxi scratched forward at a snail\'s pace as I hurriedly glimpsed through the notes scattered across the backseat. I was on my way to another interview for the Bangkok Post. Accompanying me was a Nicaraguan teacher, who had taught illiterate peasants to read during the Sandinista revolution. I had just finished an article about her and invited her to join me in the festive spirit of Christmas. However, I had to prepare myself without allowing any distractions because this interview was one of particular importance.</p>\n<p>The scheduled interview was my gateway to Thailand\'s Ministry of Education. It was the first time that a high-ranking official consented to an interview with a reporter of the Education section. The administrator was the director of the English Language Institute, Dr Wattanaporn Rangubtook, and although it was an informal evening, I wanted to make sure that I projected the image of sheer professionalism.</p>\n<p>I entered the Ministry of Education complex with brief hesitation. I imagined the building as a monolithic cement tower - long, dark, dusty, halls leading to big desks where unapproachable officials scowled from the comfort of badge-saturated uniforms. Luckily, this assumption proved wrong. The staff was remarkably friendly at all levels. They gave me a tour of the building, introducing me to everyone from director to temporarily hired secretary. I did a few preliminary interviews as scheduled and then we broke out the karaoke machine.</p>\n<p>Office workers took turns singing as the Christmas buffet was revealed. Before long a festive mood had set in even though no alcohol was being served. I was busy exploring the office, hoping to find a hidden stash of the standard Johnny Walker black, when the room suddenly became silent. Instinctively, I reached for my cup of non-carbonated fruit juice and pretended to be looking at brochures. In walked a group of VIP administrators, and the office acquired a tone of reverence and respect. The office staff rushed to serve them dinner while the more talented karaoke singers were pressed into performance.</p>\n<p>The evening\'s greatest surprise came when one of the VIP\'s asked for the microphone. He launched into a number of songs in Thai, English, and Japanese - delivering each version in a flawless accent. Later, the same man salsa danced with the Nicaraguan woman that I had brought. She was quite impressed with his accurate footwork. During the course of the evening, the VIP meandered around the room speaking one-on-one with everyone present - from the director of the English Language Institute to the lowly office cleaner. He asked for their opinions about education in Thailand and listened carefully. The same VIP also sought out the foreigners, answering even our more controversial questions in impeccable English.</p>\n<p>Who was this mysterious man? He single-handedly broke every stereotype of the Ministry of Education. He was outgoing, inquisitive, articulate, globally aware, and willing to debate ideas about education. I resolved to formally interview this man one day and tell his story. Little did I know on that Christmas Eve that this man would be later revealed as Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education.</p>\n<p>\n<h3>Education for All</h3>\n<p>Shortly after Christmas, I was navigated toward the new role of \"desk jockey\" at the Bangkok Post. Some members of the Education section had quit their jobs, so I needed to learn and concentrate on their former tasks. I wrote fewer articles and focused on editing instead. As a result, the momentum that I had built up was lost and stories were postponed. Eventually, I heard that UNESCO would hold a weekend seminar under the name Education for All and decided to attend.</p>\n<p>Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat had previously served as the Secretary-General of the Thai National Commission for UNESCO, so he was likely to be in attendance. I had tracked down various articles where he spoke of education reforms - a topic that I had been greatly researching. This would be my chance to acquire a formal interview.</p>\n<p>The timing was good. Samak Sundaravej was just elected as the new prime minister of Thailand, and his list of department ministers were being sworn in while the seminar was in session. There was much speculation about the appointed education minister and forthcoming polices for 2008. I wasn\'t scheduled to work on the weekend of the seminar, so I could spend my free time writing the article.</p>\n<p>I financed this trip on my own dime. After finishing work on a Friday night, I quickly threw a change of clothes and spare toothbrush into my day pack and climbed aboard a public bus for a six-hour journey to Jomtien. I found the cheapest dive to stay at near the beach (600 baht per night) and shook out the blankets to get rid of the sand and escaped hair from previous occupants. Ants chewed on something decaying in the corner of the room.</p>\n<p>At the event, I got promptly loaded up with a forest-load of books, brochures, and handouts. It was like packing 12 bricks into my daypack and climbing Mount Everest. I stashed this behind a sofa and circled the floor like a dehydrated vulture with only a camera, notebook, and pen in hand. In this single swoop, I snapped an overabundance of poorly-lit indoor photos and made enough contacts to publish 2-3 future articles (some later appearing on this website), but my main objective of the event was to track down Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat. To my luck, he noticed me first and greeted me by name. Great memory on the lad!</p>\n<p>A pack of reporters soon formed together for a mass interview. There were reporters present from rival newspapers, wire service agencies, and student magazines. In a flashing moment, I was whisked away by the tornado of reporters rushing in for a scoop. They butted in during other reporters\' questions, hogged up interview time, and grandstanded with lengthy diatribes about Thailand\'s failed education system (which could hardly be considered a question). I felt like a discount shopper at a K-Mart special.</p>\n<p>I caught myself rating other reporters\' questions. I took notes like: that was a stupid question (\"Is education important to Thailand\'s economic growth?\"); that question was too loaded for an opener (\"Do you think Thailand should apply more of its budget for educating Burmese refugees and other illegal workers?\"); that question was sort of a catch-22 (\"Do you feel education should be provided totally for free or that not every student deserves schooling?\"). The most puzzling reporters of all were the ones that never asked any question.</p>\n<p>I left my tape recorder running and patiently waited. My opportunity came as most reporters gradually wandered off to interview people at other tables after obtaining a few quick sound bites to quote in their next edition. When my time finally came to interview him one-on-one, I barely wanted to discuss education. A human connection had already been established between us, and after five hours worth of seminar lectures and the barrage of reporter questions, I wanted to talk about salsa music instead. I inquired how he learned those dance steps.</p>\n<p>In time, my sense of responsibility as a journalist kicked in, much like the inert instinct to run when a tiger is trying to bite you, and I conducted a formal interview about education. The interview was difficult on one level. Samak Sundaravej had just been elected, the next education minister was recently announced, and upcoming education policies were still unclear. His responses could only be speculative at this point. Nevertheless, Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat answered each question as frank and honestly as possible, taking time to pause and reflect upon wording. He politely waited until all reporters had finished asking their questions before he stood up.</p>\n<h3>The Interview</h3>\n<p>I am a bit hesitant to add quotations from an interview that took place over one year ago. As a writer, it would be nice to retract some of my comments and the more clunky grammar displayed in previous articles. Likewise, Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat might also want to rephrase his earlier quotes, and he has likely altered some of his viewpoints since the seminar.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, after recently listening to the interview once again and looking over my field notes, it continues to strike me that this man knows what he is talking about. He attempts to understand both sides of an issue and establish a balance. He dares to be critical of the education polices of his own political party (which I find unnecessary to reveal within this article). He can pragmatically accept positive qualities in ideas he doesn\'t fully agree with. He can also point out examples of education policies in other countries and draw comparisons with Thailand\'s goals. He admits to mistakes and flaws in Thailand\'s education system and seeks out multiple remedies. Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat belongs to a rare breed of Thai public official; the little spoken of hybrid called an intellectual. Here are a few randomly selected samples from the interview:</p>\n<p>\"The provision in the constitution of Thailand is that basic education is made available for 12 years, free of charge, with maintained quality and standards; that is the law. In reality, we have to accept that we are still facing many limitations particularly on our budget and other educational resources\".</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t think the teacher shortage problem will be resolved any time soon\" because employing a new crop of adequately trained teachers would take up too much of the education budget.</p>\n<p>\"The One Million Laptop project should be a flagship program in terms of education\" because it would make computers more accessible to kids in rural areas. \"We face the problem of teacher shortage, so making computers more available to the children can help alleviate the problem\". All the schools could be connected. This would help provide distance learning. The expense of Thai textbooks could be reduced by making them and other educational software available online.</p>\n<p>Science and math programs could be broadcast via satellite to hard-to-reach primary and secondary students on a Ministry of Education channel. \"The project will be a step toward promoting literacy and boosting education\".</p>\n<p>\"The One Scholarship, One District scheme failed because students returned early due to their lack of language skills. Students also overspent abroad\".</p>\n<p>Nobody has to agree with these ideas, but it should be acknowledged that Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat is seeking realistic solutions and willing to tackle difficult issues. He is not afraid to explain government policies to outsiders.</p>\n<h3>Lost Opportunities</h3>\n<p>I put together a draft quickly after returning home from the Education for All conference. Unfortunately, the nearly finished product was put on the backburner while I worked on my subediting duties. More colleagues quit, and I had to take on extra responsibilities that required overtime. For example, I wrote the Report Card and Happenings columns, which provided weekly updates about education and cultural events (though my work was never credited), and I also spent hours tracking down and legitimately \"pinning\" wire-service stories and pix from around the world. As a result, the timeliness of the Dr Chinnapat article soon expired.</p>\n<p>Departmental politics also started to unravel at the Education section of the Bangkok Post. Conflicts arose relating to my required duties as a subeditor/writer and opposing ideas about the artistic direction of our section. When no compromise was reached, I decided to quit and go back to teaching - a move that I have never regretted. In my last month, I furiously chipped away at a number of articles trying to get them into print before I left (some of these are now readable in my more recent submissions on www.ajarn.com). For a time, I referred to these articles as my lost stories.</p>\n<p>Before long, Thailand fell into political conflict and the global economy started to crash. The issue of improving education was quickly overshadowed in the following chaos.</p>\n<p>In 2008, Thailand has experienced a lot of turbulence. Political protesters blocked the government house so that parliament was forced to set up camp at Don Mueang airport. In November, the People\'s Alliance for Democracy (PAD), also known as the yellow shirts, followed this aggressive act by shutting down the country\'s two international airports for eight days. Over 350,000 tourists were stranded and unable to return home.</p>\n<p>During these protests, while Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat was Deputy Permanent Secretary for Education, arsonists attempted to set fire to the Education Ministry at least six times. The unidentified protestors threw petrol bombs into the building housing the Office of the Private Education Commission. Regardless of one\'s political stance, the targeting of schools and other academic facilities remains a truly vile and unjustifiable act. The physical damage to the building was limited, but education suffered as an early casualty.</p>\n<h3>Fractured Kaleidoscope</h3>\n<p>One consequence of the yellow-shirt protests is that education strategies were put on hold. Political instability led to the removal of many government officials, and this made the future of budget allotments and mega-projects unpredictable.</p>\n<p>The ever emerging Kaleidoscope of cabinet officials is difficult to keep track of. Five different prime ministers have held office during 2008, starting with General Surayud Chulanont, who was placed into office by coup leaders and finally stepped down in February 2008. Prime Ministers have not held office for long ever since. Samak Sundaravej lasted less than nine months, Somchai Wongsawat didn\'t even make it to three, Chaovarat Chanweerakul became acting prime minister for about two weeks, and Abhisit Vejjajive took over the position in December 2008. Nobody yet has remained in position long enough to have an impact on education policy.</p>\n<p>Thailand has also gone through education ministers as quickly as plastic straws on a class field trip. When I first met Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat, the education minister was Dr Wichit Sri-sa Arn - a very wise and progressive educator with a solid background in Thailand\'s university system. Once elected, Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej quickly appointed Somchai Wongsawat, the brother-in-law of Thaksin Shinawatra, as his Education Minister. Boonlue Prasertsopha and Pongsakon Unnopporn were assigned positions as Deputy Education Ministers as well. Not one of the three people had a prior background as an educator.</p>\n<p>After Prime Minister Samak was removed from office for badly torturing phad thai kung on a public cooking show, Education Minister Somchai Wongsawat was next in line. His two deputy education ministers got lost in the political shuffle and nobody has heard much from them since.</p>\n<p>Srimuang Charoensiri was appointed as next education minister, despite having zero background as an educator. His qualifications included overseeing important financial matters such as distributing money to Thai Rak Thai candidates and MPs in Isan. At one point, Srimuang Charoensiri was slated to become energy minister, but Prime Minister Samak removed him from his list of potential cabinet ministers. In retaliation, Srimuang did not support Samak\'s re-nomination to the office of prime minister. Paybacks are a bitch in the Land O\' Smiles.</p>\n<p>Education Minister Srimuang Charoensiri\'s reign generated much controversy during his 2-3 months in office. He planned to refinance the massive debt owned by teachers by using approximately 100 billion baht from the Social Security Fund. In addition, Saowabha Vocational School used its own funds, staff, and students to provide catering services and souvenir production for the wedding of Srimuang Charoensiri\'s son - writing it off as a special \"training program\".</p>\n<p>With the collapse of the People\'s Power Party, a new round of politicians took office. This time Democrats seized control and Prime Minister Abhisit was placed in charge. His choice for the next education minister was Jurin Laksanawisit - a veteran politician of the Democrat party. He is highly noted for his role as a watchdog that brought many defamation lawsuits against the opposing party.</p>\n<p>Like most education ministers before him, Jurin Laksanawisit lacks a significant background as an educator, but some of his strategies for improving schools are starting to emerge. One idea is to hire 13,000 more school administrators, so that teachers can focus on other tasks. However, the education budget is now greatly limited due to the crash in the global economy and subsequent decline in tax revenue. The bigger issue now is where to find or borrow alternative funds to finance future projects. The tub has been draining while people were busy arguing over their right for the next bath.</p>\n<p>Jurin Laksanawisit also has two deputy education ministers to help him: Chaiwuti Bannawat (Democrat) and Narisarat Chawaltanpithak (Puea Pandin). They may of may not have backgrounds in education, but at this point I have become too jaded and cynical to continue researching. The Kaleidoscope has broken into fragmented splinters, and it is time to repair it.</p>\n<p>The position of education minister has become a big relay race where the runners are only allowed a handful of sand, which they must pass along before it filters through their fingers. In this hyper-competitive hustle it is Thai students that are ultimately getting lost.</p>\n<h3>Chance for Continuity</h3>\n<p>The United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), also known as the red shirts, started a violent riot in April 2009 - just in time to celebrate the Songkran holiday. In the opposite corner, the yellow shirts are also back in action after attempts were made to assassinate one of their leaders. Thailand now has blue shirts, green shirts, and white shirts on the scene. There is little left to do but wait and thank Buddha that Thailand is running out of primary colors.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Education section of the Bangkok Post has been cut down to 4-four pages per week. The Report Card and Happenings columns appear only on rare occasions in downsized versions. Most \"wire\" stories are now too preoccupied with education in the United States to explore issues in other foreign countries. However, you can still get updates about the current situation in Thailand by typing in \"Sirikul Bunnag\" into the Bangkok Post search engine. The Education section hasn\'t been printed for a month, and I am wondering if anyone has noticed. At one time, I felt so much passion while \"pinning\" my articles to the collective Learning Post. There are so many hidden stories about education that deserve to be told; miss the opportunity and they will get folded, filed, and lost.</p>\n<p>For this reason, one anniversary after quitting my job at the Bangkok Post, I have dusted off my article about an astute educator, which never made it to print. As I read it once gain I realize the value of people like Dr Chinnapat Bhumirat. He gives Thailand\'s academic community something that it truly thirsts for: continuity. While politicians and education ministers come and go, he has stood his ground as an educator. He continues to participate in discussions about education; respecting opposing viewpoints, reevaluating his own, and striving to find a balance. I can still picture him wandering down the halls of a Ministry of Education building. He is probably speaking with an office worker about a Thai school right at this moment.</p>\n<p>At the end of the day, education is not about nicely packaged sound bites to journalists or catchy theories presented at academic conferences. What matters most is action. It is somehow comforting to know that people like him are busy working on projects, generating ideas, and realistically studying the tight budget. The truth is that there are many employees at the Ministry of Education like him. They are firmly planted as pillars in Thai education, even when local politics are frantically swirling around them. We don\'t usually hear their lost stories, but they are there with a lasting commitment to education.</p>\n<p>Enough talk about politics and education for now; it\'s time to get back to school!</p>\n</p>','','2009-06-01 01:13:02',1,'2009-06-01 01:13:02','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(492,108,'Where\'s Santa Claus','wheres-santa-claus','Remember - health insurance is a business','Taxpayer supported health care is not a yet a reality for most of us.

The next morning when I looked under my pillow, I would find that the Tooth Fairy had come and taken my tooth and had replaced it with a nice shiny coin. Eventually I learned that it really wasn\'t the tooth fairy that had left those coins under my pillow, it was my parents. The Tooth Fairy didn\'t really exist.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>On Christmas Eve, I would go to bed early, like a good boy, so that Santa Claus would come and leave me a lot of presents. I would wake up early the next morning and check under the Christmas tree. Sure enough, Santa had brought a lot of nice presents - eventually I discovered that it wasn\'t Santa Clause that had brought me those gifts, it was my parents. Santa Clause doesn\'t really exist.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now, many years later, I find that there are many adults who still believe in Santa Claus. And, they believe that Santa Claus has taken form in the shape of a health insurance company. In some countries he really has, in a sense. But medical care isn\'t really being provided to the population of those countries by some sort of philanthropic-being with deep pockets filled with money. It is being paid for by the citizens of those countries, themselves, in the form of taxes. Taxpayer supported healthcare is fast becoming the wave of the future. Thailand is working toward this goal. And, the U.S. is starting to consider it also.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For now, though, taxpayer supported health care is not a yet a reality for most of us.

They are in business to fill a need, make a profit and remain competitive against their rivals.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If private health insurers become too easygoing in their processing of questionable claims, their claims losses will increase considerably. If this happens, they will be forced to increase their premiums to cover those high claims losses. If those losses force them to increase their premiums too much, they will lose customers. I\'ve seen this happen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>One of the biggest problems is that some people only buy&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">health insurance</a><span>&nbsp;when they know that they have a medical problem and want the health insurance company to cover the cost of their treatment. They really, honestly believe that the health insurance companies are some form of big philanthropic entity that, after receiving just one small premium, is ready to take over paying their costly medical bills.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I see this often. One person, I will never forget, submitted his health insurance application to me and then, the very next day, called me from the hospital and asked me to tell him his hospital card number. He explained that he needed it because he was about to have an operation. Apparently, he bought the insurance in order to pay for this operation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>I explained to him that most health insurance plans have a 30 day waiting before they will cover treatment for illness. Also, the fact that he had scheduled the operation before he bought the policy very clearly classified his problem as a pre-existing condition. I told him that his operation was not covered.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Unconvinced, he called the insurance company. After they explained to him that his treatment was definitely not covered, he started yelling at them and then hung up. He called them back again a few more times over the next week and yelled at them some more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>When you buy health insurance you are sharing risk with a population of insureds. It is like all of you are putting your money together into one big jar to draw from if any of you have any medical needs.

Actual Cost pays 100% of the actual cost of the surgery up to the limit of the Maximum Coverage. Surgery Schedule pays a percentage of the Maximum Coverage determined by a surgery schedule that is standard within the industry. It pays 100% of the coverage maximum for major surgeries and less for more minor ones.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4.

It is also a chance to get some quiet time before the wife wakes up. When she does wake up I am on breakfast duty. Then it is time to clean the apartment. This should be an easy task given the relatively small size. But like any good Japanese person, I have tons of crap in the apartment and crap attracts lots of dust and needs to be moved during cleaning. Nexy it is time to go to the supermarket where an argument will ensue about what we want for lunch. My wife is on lunch duty so we are eating Thai. Later in the day we are getting ready to go out - a time consuming task for at least one of us. Saturday night and we are at a bar run by a Thai friend. My wife has managed more Thai friends in two years than I have managed friends of any nationality. The Japanese residing Thais tend to be quite interconnected. I suppose this is a good thing given that papaya is not sold in the average supermarket. I call this a somtam-network.</p>\n<p>Sunday: We are sleeping in - read slightly hungover. After we get up I am again on breakfast duty. Then we fight over who gets to use the computer. I lose. Next is shopping. We need to go one station over to the imported food shop to get Naam Plaa and spicy Thai ketchup. If it seems my weekends revolve around the procurement of Thai food, that\'s because they do! Later in the evening we watch a Thai movie I have downloaded (legally of course) from the internet.</p>\n<p>Monday: I get out of bed around 8 again giving me just the time to type of few lines for my Ajarn submission - notice I was unable to accomplish this in the first two days. The wife is up again and we are fighting over the computer. She wants to get on her Hi-5 social networking site, whereas I am after my Facebook updates. Later in the day we are back to the supermarket again. Like most Japanese people, food shopping is a daily chore. We are limited to the amount of food we can buy because we don\'t have a car or large refrigerator. My wife is cooking again. I can\'t complain. It\'s great to have a personal Thai cook. And this will probably be the last good meal I have until the following weekend.</p>\n<p>The three day weekends are nice and yet living in the suburbs of Tokyo offers little diversion beyond shopping.

I love the smell of EFL hypocrisy first thing in the morning. I did not respond to any of those emails. My response is this opinion piece.</p>\n<p>Another man charged with having sex with minors in Bangkok? It must be Tuesday. What\'s so different about this one? Probably nothing. Just another day in Thailand. But for me it\'s different. For me, this one strikes home. It\'s a knife through the heart. My heart, and the heart of EFL.</p>\n<p>John Mark Karr, Christopher Paul Neil, and the thousands of others just like them, who prowl the streets of Bangkok looking for their next prey, are just names to most people. They read the stories, look at their pictures on cable news and think, \"Oh well, just another pervert in Southeast Asia.\" Then they move on. There are people to meet and money to make, after all.</p>\n<p>I knew John Wrenshall. I spent 18 months working with him at a very well-known Bangkok language school. He was my supervisor. More than that, he was my mentor. He was my friend. At least, I considered him a friend. And I think he considered me his friend.</p>\n<p>According to a story in Canada\'s National Post, John, (and I think I can call him John), is charged with \"one count of conspiracy to engage in sex tourism, two counts of aiding and abetting sex tourism, one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography, seven counts of production of child pornography, and seven counts of distribution of child pornography.\" (\"Canadian arrested in U.K. for allegedly pimping children.\" National Post. December 15, 2008.)</p>\n<p>The story goes on to say that \"Mr. Wrenshall essentially acted as a pimp, arranging trips by U.S. sex tourists and others to his home in Thailand where they would pay to engage in sex with boys as young as six, sometimes for weeks at a time.\" The indictment also alleges that \"Mr. Wrenshall\'s customers were allowed to videotape and photograph their abuse.\" (\"Canadian arrested in U.K. for allegedly pimping children.\" National Post. December 15, 2008.)</p>\n<p>Now here\'s a question for you, John:</p>\n<p>WHAT THE F*CK WERE YOU THINKING?</p>\n<p>John, I spent 18 months at this language school learning from you. I observed a couple of your classes. You observed a few of mine. Most of the time you complimented my teaching. Sometimes you didn\'t. You said I had great potential as a teacher, and I believed you. And when I had problems with that academic writing class, (you remember that, John), you took me under your wing and offered to co-teach the class with me. You went the extra mile for me then, and I was grateful. I still am.</p>\n<p>Now this. From The Province, \"In 1970, he [Wrenshall] was convicted of sexually assaulting boys, was given a suspended sentence and put on probation for two years.\" In 1997, he [Wrenshall] \"had been charged with indecent assaults on choir boys from Calgary\'s Cathedral Church of the Redeemer.\" (\"Calgary man accused in Thai paedophile ring led double life.\" The Province. December 17, 2008.)</p>\n<p>\"The former scout master, then 51, lured the boys to his home under the pretence that he was running a study on preteen boys\' sexuality. During his trial, Wrenshall admitted that he also had molested at least a dozen other boys aged nine to 12. He was never charged in the latter incidents.\" (\"Calgary man accused in Thai paedophile ring led double life.\" The Province. December 17, 2008.)</p>\n<p>So this has been going on for over 40 years, in Canada and Thailand. A church goer, a former scout master. Now that explains a lot. An EFL teacher too. That explains even more.</p>\n<p>John, we had some interesting conversations in your office. About teaching. About your Master\'s Thesis on bringing the psychoanalytic concept of inter-subjectivity into the classroom. About my columns for ajarn.com. About our mothers. I remember you telling me that your mother died of multiple sclerosis. My mother passed away too of MS related complications on September 1, 2008.</p>\n<p>I also remember one particular class of mine which you observed. You excoriated me afterwards, telling me that I didn\'t use my students\' names often enough. I went home and cried, John. I cried for days. And what did you do? You went home and pimped prepubescent Thai boys to American sex tourists. Do you or any of your sex tourist clients remember the names of the little boys you assaulted? Did you, or any of the perverts you helped bring to Thailand, call your victims by name as they were being raped?</p>\n<p>I trusted you, John. I trusted you, and the other supervisors at the prestigious Bangkok language school, to turn me into a better teacher. How can anyone put their trust and faith into any supervisor at any language school now? To say that native English speaking teachers and their supervisors have lost all credibility and legitimacy is to assume that we had some to begin with.</p>\n<p>Let\'s make something very clear. John Wrenshall is not the only person to blame here. Everyone is to blame. Everyone. From the court system who let John down by allowing him to walk free, to the school recruiters who just want their commission on every blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner they can drag into the classroom, to the language school owners who hired John without checking into his sordid past, to the thousands of EFL teachers out there who don\'t give a damn about teaching. We are all to blame.</p>\n<p>Let\'s make something else very clear. John Wrenshall is symbolic of everything that is wrong with the TEFL industry. We can\'t blame this on the young. John was 62 at the time of his arrest. We can\'t say that John was just a teacher. He was a supervisor who worked his way up to a position of power and authority in just a few short years. He was in the upper echelons of the TEFL industry, giving lectures and public speeches on teaching at TESOL seminars, and helping to run a professional development program at his school. He was no backpacker who just wanted to spend a year of his life exploring Asia. And it is this that is the real danger and hypocrisy of the TEFL industry.</p>\n<p>To say the TEFL industry is full of young and useless good-for-nothings may be obvious, but you\'d be missing the point. To be a 20 something year old backpacker who pines to explore Asia while supporting himself by teaching English at privately run language schools is the common stereotype of this business. It\'s bad enough that most of these 20 somethings can barely speak English themselves, let alone teach it. But most of them are young and good looking, so many members of the opposite sex flock to these language schools to get a good look at the foreign monkey willing to play English games with them. Hence the copious amount of money that flows from EFL students to TEFL school owners.</p>\n<p>A victimless crime? Think of the billions of dollars being wasted every year so that a bunch of useless 20 something year olds from the English speaking countries of the West can fund their Eastern travels. But at least most of them go home after a year or two with no money and lots of memories. Unlike John Wrenshall, they didn\'t spend long enough in the far East to work their way up to a position of power and authority.</p>\n<p>John did, and that is the real danger of the TEFL industry. If us lowly EFL teachers are the feet of this rotting, stinking corpse that is the TEFL industry, then the supervisors are the head. The supervisors, the school owners, the principals, vice-principals, the board of education officials, are the head of this putrid rotten corpse. This sickness, this cancer has now spread upwards, all the way up to the top.</p>\n<p>Is there a blessing in disguise in this? For me, maybe. I\'m waiting, I\'m just waiting for the next supervisor, the next school owner, the next principal or vice-principal, the next board of education official to say to me, \"Steve your class was okay, but you didn\'t refer to your students by name often enough.\" My response:</p>\n<p>\"Thank you for your constructive criticism, Sir/Madam, but the last supervisor who said that to me turned out to be a child molester. Yeah, that\'s right. At the end of the day he went home and pimped little boys to sex tourists. What do YOU do when the sun goes down?\"</p>\n<p>A tad harsh? Perhaps. But who the hell do these people think they are? These supervisors, these board of education officials, these school owners. Well, maybe they are not child molesters but, at the end of the day, they\'re doing something. If they\'re not pimping little boys, then they\'re beating their wife. If they\'re not beating their wife, then they\'re beating their dog. If they\'re not beating their dog, then they\'re beating their meat to Internet porn, assuming they can find their meat after 12 beers. If they\'re not beating their meat to Internet porn, then they hang out in red-light districts. If they don\'t hang out in red-light districts........</p>\n<p>My point is this: Just about everybody in this business is doing something they shouldn\'t be doing. Most TEFL\'ers do not stay home and read Shakespeare or watch Masterpiece Theatre on PBS. And that includes the lowly teachers at the bottom. Now I\'m not going to compare beating ones meat to Internet porn to pimping little boys. But the hypocrisy in this business is astounding as it is horrifying.</p>\n<p>Just log on to any expat/EFL teacher\'s forum, and if you have an extra few years, read the thousands of insipid, vile, racist, bigoted, and ignorant posts written by hundreds of EFL teachers all over the world. They complain about everything, from their salaries to the free apartments they live in. Or better yet, Google me. Google my name, Steve Schertzer, and see what comes up. You will see that I have a lot more enemies than John Wrenshall. All because I dare to expose this stinking, rotten corpse that is the TEFL industry. All because I dare to say that there a lot more useless good-for-nothings in this business than there are dedicated and committed teachers. All because I bravely say that John Wrenshall and his ilk make up more of the TEFL industry than any of us dare to admit.</p>\n<p>What many people don\'t know about John was that he was also a prophet. That\'s right. He wasn\'t just a choir boy and a part time Santa. One day John and I were discussing the TEFL industry with a few other teachers during a professional development meeting. One of the other supervisors had pulled an article off the Internet which criticized the industry because it allowed into its fold, among others, Christian Missionaries. The article called on these missionary teachers to stop proselytizing and start teaching. When John was asked what he thought of the article, he replied,</p>\n<p>\"We should stop beating ourselves up over who should or should not be teaching. There is room for all of us.\"</p>\n<p>Indeed, John. How prophetic. There is room for all of us in this rotten, putrid industry. There is room for Bible-thumpers, drunks, cross-dressers, cocaine and heroin addicts, women who were once men, women who want to be men, child molesters, and all the other psychopathic sexually frustrated social misfits posing as EFL teachers spending night after night congregating in cyberspace because they can\'t get a date. Judging by the behaviour of thousands of TEFL\'ers out there in TEFL Land, these seem to be the requirements for the job.</p>\n<p>It is both shocking and appalling that the vast majority of Asian parents have not a clue as to the clear and present danger their children face by many foreign teachers. That the majority of teachers, whether foreign or domestic, should not be teaching is obvious. Most have absolutely no idea how to properly teach children or teenagers. Classroom incompetence is not a crime, for if it were, our prisons would be filled with teachers. Classroom incompetence can be rectified with the proper training, but even many of the training programs are wholly inadequate and do not address the needs of both students and teachers.</p>\n<p>That many teachers have no idea how to teach is nothing new. However, the tolerance level of Asian societies which turn a blind eye to the abuse of their own children by foreigners is. Instead of locking these people up for life, instead of punishing people like John Wrenshall to the full extent of the law, we are now trying to understand them, we are now writing books about them, we are now psychoanalyzing them. Moreover, we are now making them supervisors at major EFL language schools. That\'s what\'s new.</p>\n<p>What is also shocking and appalling is the deafening silence by the expat community surrounding this story. Unlike John Mark Karr and Christopher Paul Neil, there was very little news about it in the electronic media. A few stories in major North American newspapers. And almost nothing on the EFL teacher\'s/expat forums. But I guarantee that if John Wrenshall were a Korean teacher, if he were a Thai teacher, if he were a Chinese or a Japanese teacher, then the expat forums would be inundated with vile and racist posts about these \"bleeping\" teachers and how these Asian societies are full of perverts who shouldn\'t be teaching.</p>\n<p>Yes, I love the smell of EFL hypocrisy first thing in the morning. Or for that matter, late at night. Google me. Google my name and see what comes up. I dare you. In fact, I beg you. Better yet, log on to the teacher\'s/expat forums and read the responses to this opinion piece. I do have more enemies than John Wrenshall.</p>\n<p>Bangkok is a whore. For decades she has been spreading her legs for just about any foreigner, fat or thin, ugly or handsome, rich, poor, or otherwise. So why the shock and surprise when millions of foreigners decide to take her up on her offer? To be fair, this is not a Thailand problem or an Asian problem. It\'s a world problem, of which the TEFL industry is a player. And a bigger and bigger player every year, it seems.</p>\n<p>I was fired from this language school of which John Wrenshall and I were a part. After 18 months as a teacher there, I was fired by committee. John Wrenshall was a part of that committee. I wrote about it in my December, 2005 column for ajarn.com. I heavily criticized the school for what I considered it\'s lack of concern for the real needs of its students along with their antiquated teaching methods.</p>\n<p>The Director of Courses and her sidekick stood before me with several copies of my columns and chastised me for my \"cowardly\" act of airing my grievances on a public website. As I walked out the door that day in December of 2005, I looked into the school director\'s eyes and saw nothing. I looked into her sidekick\'s eyes and saw nothing, except perhaps, a little anger. Then I looked into John Wrenshall\'s eyes. I saw compassion. I saw a man who felt bad for me. He understood. John understood my need to fight a system that let the students and teachers down. He understood my need to shout at the top of my lungs for reform of an industry run by stupid greedy people who allow just about anyone with two pair of underpants to teach English.</p>\n<p>I understand that people are going to be uncomfortable when I say that I saw compassion that day in a child molester\'s eyes. I write this not to say that John Wrenshall is a monster. He is not. He is a human being. And that is real danger on the TEFL industry. John Wrenshall resides in all of us, and all of us reside in John Wrenshall. For those uncomfortable with that fact, too bad. We share over 98 percent of our DNA with monkeys, after all. Another uncomfortable fact for many people. John Wrenshall fooled his school and thousands of other people on two continents for decades with his sexual sickness. Most others teachers fool their school and hundreds of other people for a year or two pretending that they can teach English.</p>\n<p>Looking back, it\'s interesting having been fired by a child molester and his sidekicks because I dared to criticize their precious pedagogical methodology. That\'s going to look good on my resume. But this is not an \"I told you so\" moment. Even though I\'ve been right all along about the sick nature of this industry, too many students and children are getting hurt to gloat in such a moment.</p>\n<p>A huge question remains: What should we do with this rotten, putrid, stinking corpse that is the TEFL industry? If by some cosmic fluke or Divine intervention, tens of thousands of Asians took to the streets and demanded that their respective governments round us EFL\'ers up and throw us out for professional incompetence, wasting taxpayer\'s money, and perpetrating heinous crimes against their children, it would be very difficult to disagree with them. \"Throw the bums out!\", they can shout in unison. \"Shut this whole industry down.\" Hardly anyone is learning anything from a bunch of young drunks, middle-aged Bible thumpers, and old perverts anyway. Maybe it\'s time to shut this sucker down. Too many people are getting hurt.</p>\n<p>TEFL\'ers are supposed to come here and make a positive difference in the lives of their students. They are supposed to come here and help their students become better people. TEFL\'ers are not supposed to go to Asia with the intention of having sex with their students. They are not supposed to videotape their sexual exploits with the very people they are claiming to help. They are not supposed to take naked pictures of Asian children. But some EFL teachers do. Time to shut this sucker down? Maybe.</p>\n<p>A huge concern for everyone pertaining to this industry is the almost complete lack of introspection by anyone in it. No one is bothering to ask the essential questions necessary to either reform the TEFL industry, or to get rid of those who do grave harm while employed within it. No one is willing to take any responsibility whatsoever for badly needed reformation. The vetting process implemented by some governments is a joke; many of the school owners are still determined to turn a blind-eye to the abuses of EFL teachers in the Holy name of profit; and greed, incompetence, and sheer stupidity seem to rule the hearts and minds of educational officials and bureaucrats everywhere. Add to that the sycophants and \"yes men\" culturally endemic in Asian societies, and a lack of leadership in just about every segment of these societies, and the situation seems hopeless. Time to shut this sucker down? Maybe.</p>\n<p>If reform is ever to happen, it must start with the teachers. It must begin at the grassroots level, where all social change has its most humblest of beginings. The few brave and determined teachers that remain in this industry must lead the way by asking, where do we go from here? Those usless good-for-nothing backpackers, drunks, and perverts posing as English teachers must stop shouting at the world. They must stop congragating on TEFL/expat websites under aliases and spreading their vile lies, illnesses, racism, bigotry, and hatred. They must stop playing the victim card. That\'s getting old and very stale.</p>\n<p>EFL teachers are put into positions of authority and responsibility, most at a time in their lives when they have yet to learn what it means to be responsible. EFL teachers must learn to teach properly. They must learn to love their work. They must learn to see it as a mission and an honor. They must learn to be accountable for their actions, or their inactions. In essence, they must learn to become fuller human beings.</p>\n<p>If convicted, according to newspaper reports, John Wrenshall \"faces up to 15 years in prison for each count of sex tourism, a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 20 years in prison for each count of producing child pornography, and up to 15 years in prison for distributing child pornography. He also faces a fine up to $250,000 per count.\" (\"RCMP tip led to Thai sex ring bust.\" National Post. December 17, 2008.)</p>\n<p>This man spent the better part of a decade in Bangkok as an EFL teacher, a supervisor, and almost made it all the way up to the top of a major language school. He, and others like him, should serve as a constant reminder of how sick the TEFL industry truly is, and how far it needs to go before it can boldly claim to be helpful to anyone.</p>\n</p>','','2009-01-01 05:30:53',1,'2009-01-01 05:30:53','2009-07-15 19:07:54'),(498,4,'When in Rome','when-in-rome','Definitely don\'t do as the Romans do','With the school year just beginning, at least the public schools here in South Korea, this is as good an opportunity as ever to discuss the teacher-training workshop that is offered twice a year to native English speakers by the various Offices of Education. I\'ve had the misfortune of attending two of them in my three years with the program, both presented in the exact same fashion. \n','<p>In my last opinion piece for ajarn.com, (\"The TEFL Industry: A Stinking, Rotting, Putrid Corpse\", January, 2009), I wrote about how many of the foreign English teachers and supervisors are ruining the TEFL industry with their crude and, sometimes, illegal behaviour. Specifically I focused on John Wrenshall, a supervisor and teacher I worked with at a Bangkok language school, who was recently indicted for allegedly pimping young boys to foreign sex tourists while living and working in Thailand. I would now like to turn my attention, (and perhaps my wrath as well), to the Board of Education, specifically, the BoE here in Busan, South Korea, with which I have been associated for the last three years.\n<p>With the school year just beginning, at least the public schools here in South Korea, this is as good an opportunity as ever to discuss the teacher-training workshop that is offered twice a year to native English speakers by the various Offices of Education. I\'ve had the misfortune of attending two of them in my three years with the program, both presented in the exact same fashion.</p>\n<p>Along with about 40 other English teachers, I was forced to attend an \"In-Service Training For Native English Teachers.\" At least that\'s what it was called. Subtitled, \"A Workshop Designed to Improve the Effectiveness of ELT in Busan Schools\", it took place from September 22 through the 26th, 2008. I am all for teacher training workshops, and I wouldn\'t have minded attending had I gotten something positive and educational from it. If I would have learned a thing or two about teaching or classroom management, then I would have left happy. It\'s not as if I have nothing to learn about how to become a better teacher; I do. In fact, I have a lot to learn. But those running the show, had nothing to teach. Nothing new. Nothing effective. Nothing that would have taken the students to higher levels. Nothing that would have allowed the students or teachers to reach their true potential.</p>\n<p>The titles of their lectures in the booklet handed to each teacher did sound promising.</p>\n<p>*** Effective Co-teaching Skills.</p>\n<p>(The problem was that there were no Korean co-teachers participating in the workshop.<br />Only us native teachers. So I suppose at weeks end we all went back to the same problems that existed prior to the workshop: Less than helpful and antagonistic co-teachers who offer little or no support in the classroom. So much for problem solving.)</p>\n<p>*** A Class Demonstration, (by a native teacher named Jennifer.)</p>\n<p>(The problem here was that, although the demo class was fast-paced, it focused too much of activities and games and was deemed by the Municipal Office of Education as something not to emulate. So much for a positive demonstration of how an English class should be taught.)</p>\n<p>*** A Speaking and Listening Lecture, (by a native teacher named David.)</p>\n<p>(The problem here was that the whole exercise was all, and I mean ALL, about playing games. If games are to be played in the classroom, it is to reinforce what was previously taught. And nothing was taught. David came into the classroom and demonstrated his teaching technique by immediately going into game mode. That was bad enough. But with each question answered, he ended up throwing candies or sweets to his \"students.\" That\'s right, actually throwing them causing quite a commotion. I can only imagine doing this to 12 year olds fresh out of elementary school.)</p>\n<p>Maybe I\'m \"Old School\" but, to me, the classroom is a sacred place of learning. Any attempt to turn the classroom into a zoo or a game show studio for the teachers own perverse pleasure, and that of their co-teachers and school administrators, should be met with extreme resistance. A teacher has the responsibility of upholding the sanctity of the classroom.</p>\n<p>*** Busan English Education and the Roles of the EPIK Teacher. (This also included a discussion of the contract.)</p>\n<p>(Never mind that the contract is vague and full of double-speak as to make your tax return form look easy by comparison. Never mind that it was written with absolutely no consultation from the English teachers, and is open to personal interpretation and abuse. Never mind that your Korean co-teachers, and the BoE, can use the contract as a form of blackmail in an attempt to get the foreign teacher to do as they please. The role of the EPIK teacher, at least to the socially and educationally underdeveloped mind of the Koreans in charge, is twofold:</p>\n<p>1) To have the foreign English teachers focus on trivial matters in the classroom, such as playing games and speaking about where they are from, rather than doing any actual teaching. This makes the Korean co-teachers look better in the classroom than they would otherwise be, and reinforces the Korean stereotype of foreigners as little more than EFL monkeys, war hungry GI\'s, and a form of cheap labour.</p>\n<p>2) To assist the Korean co-teachers in placing face over form. The foreign teacher merely has to look good in the classroom, not necessarily be good or do good. The doing good that any foreign teacher manages to do stems from not ruffling any cultural or educational feathers and making the Koreans in charge look good, thus maintaining the status quo. Very little, if anything, is ever taught or learnt.</p>\n<p>There were other teacher/demonstrators, Korean and foreign, who did little more than hand out photocopies of more games and mindless activities designed to keep the kids in your classroom happy, but almost nothing on how to properly and effectively teach Korean students how to listen, speak, read, and write in English. Nothing on classroom management. Only edutainment for edutainment\'s sake. The BoE\'s message to the foreign teachers: \"Play games, have fun, throw candies, and don\'t worry about any real teaching. You\'re on your own.\" That\'s unacceptable and irresponsible.</p>\n<p>But the highlight of the week occurred early on when some idiot from the Office of Education, (and there are many of those), stood in front of the native teachers and invoked that all too common refrain, \"When in Rome, do as the Romans do.\" She was, of course, referring to those newbie English teachers who remain unaware of how to conduct themselves when living and working in a foreign land.</p>\n<p>Never mind that the Romans threw the Christians to the lions, regardless of whether the lions were hungry. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Forget the fact that in Ancient Rome virgins were snatched from the streets and taken to the emperor\'s chambers for deflowering, or that senator\'s wives were forced to participate in orgies and saw their husbands murdered in front of them. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Crucifixion, live burnings, beheadings, and tying people\'s arms and legs to the wheels of chariots as they rode off in opposite directions were just a few of the things that the Romans did. Nero roamed the streets at night dressed as an ordinary citizen and slashed the throats of his own people just for the fun of it. He once fell in love with a young boy, and when the boy did not return Nero\'s advances, he had him castrated.</p>\n<p>When in Rome, do as the Romans do? Well, contemporary South Korea is certainly not as brutal and vicious as the Romans once were, (North Korea is a different story), so let\'s keep it in perspective, shall we? Would it be okay if I drink three bottles of soju tonight and then puke my guts out on the street? On in an elevator? Because that\'s what many Koreans do. Would it be acceptable to my co-teachers, school principal, and the BoE if I come to class tomorrow morning so hungover that I have trouble standing up for longer than 30 seconds at a time? Because that\'s what many Koreans do. Would it be perfectly fine if I cheated on my spouse, or had sex with a middle-school girl in exchange for an MP3 player or the latest cellphone? Because that\'s what many Korean men do. It\'s called \"Wonjo Gojae\" or, literally, the \"sex trade\", and it\'s been going on in this part of the world for centuries.</p>\n<p>Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Actually Nero didn\'t fiddle. He sang. And that\'s what the good people at the BoE are doing. They\'re singing while the Korean educational system burns. After patting themselves on the back for a job well done, these incompetent bureaucrats have the gall to congregate at the local \"Noraebang\" or singing room to belt out the latest Wondergirls ditty.</p>\n<p>Not that the foreign teachers are any more competent. While schools and classrooms burn, we\'re expected to do little more than play games and throw candies at the kids. One participant in the workshop, a woman named Wendy, complained about the lack of vacation time in the contract. At one point she said, \"I\'m not here to teach. I\'m came here to travel.\" A native speaker of English who didn\'t come here to teach? How weird is that? Don\'t worry Miss Wendy, and all the other foreign clowns who didn\'t come here to teach. Because you don\'t have to teach. Just play games, have fun, throw candies, make your co-teachers look good, don\'t challenge authority, and most of all, learn to kiss ass. The sooner you do all that, the happier everyone here in edutainment Lala-land will be.</p>\n<p>So keep singing, you brainless and incompetent bunch of boobs at the BoE. Keep telling your teachers to focus on tests and exams while passing kids, who can\'t even spell their own name in English, to the next grade. Keep telling us foreign clowns to throw candies at the students instead of demanding that we teach them to read and write at the appropriate level. Keep on hiring new teachers who are too afraid to correct their students because we are not supposed to single them out and embarrass them. Keep employing teachers who can barely speak the language they are supposed to be teaching. And last, but certainly not least, keep failing students of all ages, from kindergarden to university with your lack of vision, your lack of objectives and a clear mission, your lack of leadership, and your half-brained stupid ideas that keep children from developing their full potential. Because, in the end, it\'s not your ass that gets thrown onto the street. Your jobs at the BoE are perfectly safe behind this educational shell game of yours; perfectly secure behind your wall of secrecy, incompetence, inefficiency, and irresponsibility.</p>\n<p>Beheadings, religious persecution, young girls having acid thrown in their face if they dare to attend school, and schools being burned to the ground. Rome? Greece? Europe in the middle-ages? No. Parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan right now. Swat Valley. Google it. Taliban. Google that too.</p>\n<p>UNICEF claims that there are 72 million children in the world of primary school age not in school as of 2005. Their website (www.unicef.org) goes on to say that, \"As high as this number seems, surveys show that it underestimates the actual number of children who, though enrolled, are not attending school.\" The actual figure may be close to a staggering 100 million.</p>\n<p>To put this figure into perspective, 72 million is the combined population of North and South Korea. If we were to take these 72 million children who are not going to school and call it a country, say \"Noschoolistan\", it would be the world\'s 18th largest by population. (Remember, the actual figure is higher.)</p>\n<p>Africa is especially hard hit by school age children not in school, particularly Nigeria, where, \"The highest estimate of the number of primary school age children who are not in school is 8 million, suggesting that around 40 percent are not attending primary school and 60 percent are not attending secondary school, with markedly lower rates of participation in the northern states, particularly amongst girls.\" (Chris Ochayi, \"The Vanguard.\" Thursday, September 11, 2008. www.vanguardgr.com )</p>\n<p>Southeast Asia is another region hard hit by the reality of children not attending school. Thailand and the Philippines are two countries in the region where many parents find it extremely difficult to fund their children\'s education, especially after primary school when public funds tend to dry up.</p>\n<p>The National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) in the Philippines says that \"The number of Filipino children who did not have access to primary education worsened to 16.8 percent of the school-age population in the school year ending 2007 from 15.6 percent the previous year because of the rising cost of living.\" (Michelle Remo and Beverly T. Natividad, \"Philippine Daily Inquirer.\" July 15, 2008. www.inquirer.net )</p>\n<p>The article goes on to say that \"The number of Filipino youths aged 12 to 15 who were not able to attend high school stood at 41.4 of the population, translating to a net enrolment ration of 58.5 percent.\" (\"Philippine Daily Inquirer.\" July 15, 2008.)</p>\n<p>We all know what happens to children who are not in school. Many end up as child soldiers, fighting in a war that they should be reading about years later in history books. From Myanmar to Sierra Leone, thousands of them end up with no limbs and no future. Millions more children end up on the streets begging for money and selling their bodies to paedophiles. I\'ve seen many of these children in Thailand. Cambodia, and the Philippines. And if these children are not on the streets, then they can be found in sweatshops toiling for 12 or 14 hours a day for slave wages.</p>\n<p>Females are particularly vulnerable to a lack of formal education. Bangkok, Manila, Pattaya, Angeles City, Phenom Penh, and Ho Chi Min City are full of Asian girls and women who sell their bodies and souls to Western and Asian sex tourists because their families lack the money, resources, and perhaps the will to send their daughters to school. To many Asian parents, children are little more than commodities bought and sold on the open market. Their daughters are worth more to the family working in Pattaya or Angeles City than they would be if they were enrolled and attending university. A tragedy on so many levels.</p>\n<p>I can go on with more examples from the developing world, but the world\'s hatred for children, whether their own or the children of others, is certainly not new and may be the subject for another blog entry. We all get the picture. Except perhaps those education officials, administrators, and teachers who remain oblivious to these tragedies and harsh realities that they refuse to acknowledge.</p>\n<p>When in Rome, do as the Romans do? Korean men are famous for flocking to Pattaya and Angeles City and paying top dollar, (or Baht, or Peso, or Won), for the pleasure of having sex with a virgin. Upwards of one thousand U.S. dollars, I\'m told. Quite a throwback to the times of Nero and Caligula. Korean camera crews, complete with actors and actresses, routinely go to the Philippines to shoot their soft-core porn movies, with an emphasis on soft. When in Rome, do as the Romans do?</p>\n<p>If I am being told to do little more than play games with my students and throw candies at them, then it can\'t be all that bad here. At least not anymore. It has been little more than two generations since South Korea was itself mired in abject poverty. Its third-world status comparable to what is now Bangladesh. How soon these people forget.</p>\n<p>No, the children here are not languishing in sweatshops sewing buttons on dress shirts that will be worn by Wall Street swindlers. They are not having their arms and legs hacked off by communist rebels. They are not having acid thrown in their face by religious fanatics who believe that girls should not be going to school. But they are being deprived of a decent education. They are having their dreams shattered. They are being prevented from reaching their full potential.</p>\n<p>Seventy-two million children not in school. That\'s a huge tragedy. But what about the tens of millions of others who are in school and not getting a damn thing out of it? Except for playing games and having candies thrown at them by people who are behaving more like trained clowns and monkeys rather than well-trained and licensed teachers.</p>\n<p>For the record, in the three years that I have been a teacher in Korean public schools, I have never thrown candies at my students. I have given them some by politely handing it to them. I have rarely played games. I don\'t talk down to them. And, unlike many of the Korean teachers, I don\'t treat my students like babies. Any attempt by the Board of Education, or the school principal, or my co-teachers to begin treating them this way will be met with stiff resistance and an extreme resolve in knowing what I\'m doing is right. My students will be taught, not bought.</p>\n<p>It throwing acid in the face of a girl who is on her way to school is the height of human brutality, then throwing candies at the face of any student in the classroom is the height of irresponsibility. As teachers, children are on loan to us. As teachers, we are responsible for our students from the time they enter the classroom to the time they leave it.</p>\n<p>When in Rome, do as the Romans do? Hell no! When in Rome, DON\'T do as the Romans do. When in Korea, (or anywhere else, for that matter), don\'t throw candies at your students; teach them to listen and speak coherently. Don\'t just play games with them; teach them to read and write properly. When in Rome, rise above the Romans. When in Rome, show the Romans a better way. And then do it. Full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes! Because those tens of millions of children around the world, who are fortunate enough to attend school, deserve teachers and administrators who genuinely care about the students and their progress.</p>\n</p>','','2009-03-01 05:45:46',1,'2009-03-01 05:45:46','2009-07-15 19:07:47'),(499,4,'The 3-4-3 principle and the importance of repetition','the-3-4-3-principle-and-the-importance-of-repetition','Putting students through their paces','Each lesson has four sides.

If by the end of the lesson the students know what is under the remaining three sides, I do not repeat the lesson.\"<br />---- Confucius.</em>\n<p>I admit it. I have been badgering some of my students lately. I\'m being tough on them. And for good reason, I believe. Many of them are not applying themselves, not working hard enough. I have been testing them. I give them a lesson. Model it. Demonstrate it. Practise it with them. Repeat it. Then I test the students by having them give the lesson back to me. I put two of them in front of the class and they give the lesson back to me in the same way that I gave it to them. It\'s now their turn. I shine the spotlight on them. It\'s either sink or swim. Some swim. Some drown. Others waddle in the shallow end of the pool for a while before I sit them down for more practise.</p>\n<p>This is a test I tell them, not a game. My voice, a bit too loud, scares even my Korean co-teacher. Poor Miss Kim. She probably has never met a foreigner who is also a serious teacher. I tell her that I left my clown outfit back in Canada. Big shoes, make up, rubber nose, balls. Everything. Well, not my balls. Unlike some other teachers here in Korea, I brought those with me.</p>\n<p>Now I know what some of you will say. Go easy on these kids, huh. After all, they\'re only 13 or 14. Play games. Give them candy. They study so hard. Korean teenagers with their regular public school, their after school school, their private lessons, English tutors, Math tutors, piano lessons, violin recitals. Yes, Korean students are busy. But not busy enough to apply themselves and work hard in my class. After all, education is about the future.</p>\n<p>So I repeat a lot of my stuff. (I think I already said that.) I like to review, although I admit I don\'t always do so. Here\'s a question: Say you have 16 classes with your students. You can,</p>\n<p>(a) Teach 16 different and non-connected lessons, or<br />(b) Teach four of the same lessons four times.</p>\n<p>Which scenario will have your students learning more? Repeat, repeat, repeat. Then go back and review. A little boring? Maybe. But you are there to teach, and your students are there to learn.</p>\n<p>Many seasoned teachers, supervisors, and administrators tend to advice new teachers to vary their activities in EFL classes. Keep the class rolling and fast-paced. Never let the students think. Silence is the enemy. Some well intentioned advice, perhaps, but in my opinion, many of these seasoned teachers, supervisors, and administrators are ill-informed about how to improve the retention rates of the students. Again, through constant review and repetition.</p>\n<p>I can understand why many teachers feel the need to vary their activities, especially when it comes to teenaged EFL students. It\'s not that the students alone are afraid of failing and looking bad in the presence of their peers. It\'s also the teachers who fear their own failure much more acutely. They are deathly afraid of looking inadequate in front of the students. <br />It\'s a real and legitimate fear, but it is neither an excuse nor a reason for a teacher not to do his or her job properly.</p>\n<p>That some students cheat is bad enough. That many teachers cheat, either by fudging test scores to make themselves look like better teachers, or by not reviewing and repeating out of necessity, is even worse. Let this truth be known. Let this dirty little secret out of the bag. It\'s the teachers who are terrified of looking bad much more than the students. That\'s why the quick change of activities. That\'s why the fast-paced atmosphere. That\'s why the lack of necessary drilling and repetition. Teachers also don\'t want their students to know how little they are actually learning from them. So more activities. More candy. More games.</p>\n<p>Then there\'s the 3-4-3 Principle. I read about this principle in a book written by Rafe Esquith, one of the great public school teachers in Los Angeles. Teachers learn this relatively quickly. Good teachers learn this more quickly. The principle is simply this: You can have 10 students in your class or 40. It doesn\'t matter. About 30 percent of them are with you. They like you. You have won them over even before stepping into the classroom. Another 30 percent are not with you. They don\'t like you. And you will probably never win them over. Then there\'s the 40 percent in the middle. They are teetering on the brink. They can go either way. They are waiting to see how you teach before making their decision.</p>\n<p>Here\'s the question: Which group, as a teacher, do you focus most of your attention upon?</p>\n<p>1) The three of ten who are with you?<br />2) The three of ten who are not with you?<br />3) The four of ten who may or may not be with you?</p>\n<p>There is no right or wrong answer here. Each teacher has his or her own preference. Personally, I go with the four of ten. My goal is this: To get at least 70 percent of my students to understand at least 70 percent of what I give them so that they can give it back to me at least 70 percent correctly. Anything over that is gravy. Sometimes I get gravy, sometimes I don\'t. If this 70 percent is not reached with a particular class using the 3-4-3 Principle, I repeat the lesson until it is reached. This is what I have done, with few exceptions, in my three years in the Korean public schools.</p>\n<p>To be a good teacher is to sometimes do things you don\'t like to do. To be a good student is to sometimes do things you don\'t like to do. For instance, repeat. Here\'s another question I was once asked during a job interview in a Bangkok language school which teaches EFL using the Callan method.</p>\n<p>How do you think your students will learn more and retain more of what they read?</p>\n<p>1) By having them read something they like once?<br />2) By having them read something they don\'t like four times?</p>\n<p>Repeat, repeat, repeat. Review, review, review. Sometimes one step forward, two steps back. Sometimes two steps forward, one step back. Patience is a virtue here. Both your own as a teacher and the patience of your students. Set a realistic goal and eventually you and your students will get there. Don\'t fear failure. We learn from it. Most of all, don\'t be afraid to teach. Both you and your students will be rewarded for it.</p>\n</p>','','2009-05-01 05:49:29',1,'2009-05-01 05:49:29','2009-07-15 19:07:30'),(500,4,'The woman of the world','the-woman-of-the-world','Jane Doe and our true responsibilities as teachers','I am looking for a school where I can make a positive difference in the lives of my students.

I took it towards the end of May, 2009 while on holiday. Does it matter where this picture was taken? This picture could have been taken anywhere. Jane Doe could be anyone. I am between teaching jobs right now. I am looking for a school where I can make a positive difference in the lives of my students. That\'s what I\'ve been trying to do for years. That\'s what every dedicated and committed teacher strives to do.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I was walking down the street one hot and humid evening gazing at the beach on my left and the seemingly endless parade of stores and hotels on my right. This place is full of very good pubs and restaurants from all over the world. German sausages and schnitzel coexist alongside mutton vindaloo from India, burgers and fries from America, Gammon steak with Yorkshire pudding from England, and various soups and spicy salads from Southeast Asia. A gastronomic paradise. My only problem that night was deciding what I was going to eat.</p>\n<p>Then I saw her. First out of the corner of my eye before she came into my line of vision. \"Hello mistah. I go wit you short tahm.\"</p>\n<p>I continue walking. Then I stop. Something about her just wasn\'t right. Not one of the usual, run-of-the-mill prostitutes that are seen plying their trade along the main road. I walk back to her. \"Yes, mistah. Short tahm.\"</p>\n<p>\"You look very young. How old are you?\"</p>\n<p>\"18.\"</p>\n<p>\"Really? Can I see your ID card?\" She takes it out of her pocket and hands it to me. I look at it and calculate. \"You\'re not 18. You\'re 16.\"</p>\n<p>\"Okay. Short tahm, mister.\"</p>\n<p>\"And you\'re pregnant. How many months?\"</p>\n<p>\"Seven.\"</p>\n<p>We sit down and talk. In broken English she tells me a bit about her life. \"Mamma, die. Pappa, I don\'t know.\" She seems lost, but she knows where she is. I ask her if she goes to school. \"High school last yea. Now baby, I don\'t know.\" I ask about brothers or sisters. \"One sistah.\" I ask what her dreams are for the future. I don\'t why I ask her that. I like to ask all my students that. She didn\'t understand my question.</p>\n<p>\"A doctor? You want to be a doctor? Or a nurse?\", I ask pretending to take my blood pressure. I must have looked like an idiot to the passersby.</p>\n<p>\"Don know.\"</p>\n<p>\"A teacher?\" Now I\'m writing on an invisible blackboard.</p>\n<p>\"Don know.\"</p>\n<p>Okay, I drop the subject. We can safely conclude that this 16 year old pregnant girl, who should be in school and dreaming about her wedding day some 10 years away, may not have a future. At least, not a good one.</p>\n<p>Is there something wrong with this situation? Maybe it\'s me, but I don\'t think 16 year old pregnant girls should be on the street selling their body (and soul) to strange men. I am not going to overwhelm and bore you with statistics about how many children in the world never see the inside of a classroom or have their education cut short by social, cultural, or economic circumstances. I\'ve dealt with that in past writings. And I\'m not going to mention the problem of child prostitution, especially in countries with a large amount of financially poor people. That has been dealt with before as well.</p>\n<p>So let Jane Doe symbolize the face of failure. Not her failure; our failure. Our failure as parents. Our failure as teachers. Our failure as educators. Our failure as guardians of the poor and vulnerable. Jane Doe, and millions like her, are our failure. It hurts, I know. It is something that we still refuse to acknowledge. And what we refuse to acknowledge, we cannot and will not change.</p>\n<p>I mentioned that I\'m between teaching jobs right now. In my introduction letter that I send to schools along with my resume, I tell school directors and recruiters that I am a serious teacher with a burning desire to succeed. I tell them that teachers cannot succeed until their students succeed first. Why should you hire me, I ask them. Because I am purpose driven and results oriented. EFL teachers must have a purpose that is related to the success of their students, and any results that teachers and their students work towards must reflect that purpose.</p>\n<p>So far I have received a few bites from all the fish in the sea, but not that many. I suppose if I had said in my introduction letter that I am a teacher who likes to have fun and play games with the students, then maybe I\'d get a few more bites. Who knows. Perhaps if I had mentioned to the school directors and the recruiters that I\'m just in Asia to kick back, enjoy the sunshine, the cheap beer and the cheaper women, (and pay off a student loan while I\'m at it), then the job offers may come pouring in. Who knows. But that\'s not why I\'m here.</p>\n<p>Let\'s take a good look at Jane Doe again. She\'s one of the reason\'s why I\'m here. She\'s one of the reasons why many dedicated EFL teachers do what they do. Because we don\'t like to see 16 year old pregnant girls selling themselves.</p>\n<p>So my message to all the school directors and recruiters who pine for 25 year old hippie backpackers that love their beer and Asian women: Stop it. Stop telling me and other dedicated EFL teachers to forgo real teaching for fun and games. Stop telling me and other dedicated EFL teachers to forget about teaching reading and writing; that we only need to talk to the students. Stop telling me and other dedicated EFL teachers to throw candies at the students and dance like a clown. Stop telling me and other dedicated EFL teachers that we don\'t have to be dedicated and committed to the cause. Because we do. We all do.</p>\n<p>I am currently looking at a few places in which to teach next, including Shanghai, China, and Taiwan. Some of the offers I\'ve received are from schools who offer low hours for matching low pay. Taiwan is famous, (or shall I say infamous), for telling EFL teachers to come as a tourist first without mentioning, of course, that it\'s a possibility that in a month or so you will be kicked out when the job you were offered was never guaranteed. When I inquire why and check their websites, I am told that being free most of the day will give me the chance to study Chinese. I can also learn about Chinese culture or learn how to cook Chinese cuisine.</p>\n<p>Excuse me, Ms. Wang. I am going to your country to work. And work hard I might add. I want to teach 30 or more hours a week, (including any overtime or extra classes), and be well compensated for my efforts. I want to dedicate most of my waking hours to teaching at your school. I want my students to actually learn something and to succeed. I want to succeed. What part of that, Mrs. Wang do you not understand or accept?</p>\n<p>There are still far too many people in the TEFL industry who love watching young foreign monkeys dance. Young foreign monkeys may be a dime a dozen, but these ignorant school directors and their recruiter lackeys show their bias against dedicated EFL teachers by their perverted preference for young, inexperienced, and unmotivated English speaking Westerners. These young and unmotivated native English speakers are not seen as a threat either to their schools, the establishment. or the status quo.</p>\n<p>Study Mandarin? Learn about the life of General Tao? Or the Ming Dynasty? Learn how to cook Chicken Chow Mien? Fantastic. Nothing wrong with that. As long as I do these things on my own time. After I finish teaching my long hours. After my students succeed. After I have made a positive difference in the lives of my students. After I make sure that not one--- NOT ONE--- of my students end up on the street selling her body like Jane Doe.<br />There\'s a lot of work to be done. There\'s too much at stake. I hope you understand that, Ms. Wang.</p>\n<p>Take a good look at Jane Doe all of you school directors and recruiters. She may not be your daughter or sister, but she\'s someones daughter and sister. She may not belong to your family, but she\'s a member of someones family. A family that is just as important and as valuable as yours. So show some respect for those hard-working and dedicated EFL teachers.</p>\n<p>I am reminded of a bumper sticker I\'ve seen so often on the back fender of so many cars; the one that proudly proclaims, \"Jesus Saves.\" It\'s not Jesus who saves, it\'s teachers. It\'s good and dedicated teachers who save. It\'s education that saves. I realize how dangerous it is to compare teachers to Jesus. I would never do that. Jesus tried to save others too and look what happened to him. If I dared to compare teachers to Jesus, I just might be--- well--- crucified.</p>\n<p>We may attempt to deny the fact that millions of Jane Does exist in the world. We can try to ignore the problem, but only to our own peril. Education is not just a privilege for the rich and middle-class. Like food, clothing, and shelter, education is a basic human right and need for all the world\'s children. Especially girls. This we cannot ignore.</p>\n<p>This may sound biased, but it\'s far more important to educate girls than it is boys. Girls are the carriers of the next generation. They are the keepers of the family and cultural flame. To fail to educate girls is to fail future generations. It is to say that girls don\'t matter. It is to say that culture and society and God and country don\'t matter. A failure to educate girls is to acknowledge before God and country that we are all failures. To educate a boy is to educate an individual; to educate a girl is to educate humanity.</p>\n<p>I have seen Jane Doe a few more times while writing this. One evening she seemed particularly sad. I don\'t know why. She wouldn\'t say. I asked her where home was. She told me she lived in an apartment in the capital city.</p>\n<p>\"Who do you live with?\", I asked.</p>\n<p>\"Jus me. I live alone.\"</p>\n<p>\"You live alone.\" It was more of a question than a statement. I didn\'t want to believe it. I was about to ask her the next question on my mind, but I caught myself just in time. I wanted to ask how she supports herself, but we all know the answer. A 16 year old pregnant girl living alone. What kind of a world do we live in?</p>\n<p>Before moving on and continuing my evening walk, I hugged Jane Doe. She didn\'t seem surprised by my sudden affection for this vulnerable 16 year old pregnant girl. But I was. I wish that she was in one of my classes. I yearn for the opportunity to teach her. I dream of the chance of helping Jane Doe, and many other Jane Does, turn their life around through education. Education is the key for a better life.</p>\n<p>Before continuing on my quest for a good restaurant for dinner, I asked Jane Doe when she plans on going home. (I prefer on using the word home instead of the reality of an empty room.)</p>\n<p>\"In one month. I go home one month, hab my baybee.\"</p>\n<p>One month. I have no idea how this will turn out. I can only hope and pray that Jane Doe and her baby are healthy and happy. I can only hope and pray that Jane Doe can turn her life around. But we all know that the odds are against her.</p>\n<p>To educate a boy is to teach an individual; to educate a girl is to educate and raise humanity to a higher level.</p>\n<p>Yeah, that sounds about right. The message on Jane Doe\'s T-shirt is as interesting as it is perplexing and paradoxical. \"The Woman of the World.\" Jane Doe may very well be a woman of the world. An uncaring and cruel world that treats its female children as expendable commodities to be bought and sold. A vicious and barbaric world that hates its children and eats them up and spits them out.</p>\n<p>Those of us, such as myself, who are fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to teach children in countries where daughters are not among God\'s most valued beings know what\'s at stake. It is children like Jane Doe who teaches us one of our most cherished and valuable lessons. Children are on loan to us--- from God, from a Spirit we do not understand, from their parents, from their society--- our young students are a gift we can never repay. To teach them well and to the best of our ability is the only way caring, dedicated, and committed teachers can hope that their students can reach their full potential and achieve their dreams.</p>\n<p>Jane Doe teaches all of us what is truly at stake.</p>\n</p>','','2009-06-01 05:54:54',1,'2009-06-01 05:54:54','2009-10-28 06:06:55'),(501,4,'Sticking up for passionate teachers','sticking-up-for-passionate-teachers','Are we sore thumbs fighting the good fight?','This is a column (or a blog entry) that I should have written long ago.

I received a few interesting letters about that and I would like to share a bit of them with you. This from C.W. in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Dear Steve,</p>\n<p>I want to say thank you so much for the article you wrote on Jane Doe. I have only been in the ESL industry two years and alarmed at some of the characters that are allowed through the doors of a school let alone have contact with students. However, you have installed confidence in me that there are genuine teachers out there who do the job as a vocation rather than a means to buy beer and prostitutes. My conclusion is that because Thailand is still a poor country they cannot afford to pay good teachers a decent wage for their work. Do you think that\'s the reason?</p>\n<p>I was starting to get very cynical over the whole situation out here (especially because I work with a bunch of people who clearly do NOT have the children\'s needs at the forefront of their minds.)</p>\n<p>Just about all countries and schools do not pay good, dedicated, and caring teachers what they are truly worth. They simply can\'t afford to. Most caring teachers go into the profession because they they care. They care about the lives of children who are the future of any nation. Although money is important in all our lives, it usually isn\'t a major factor in why dedicated teachers, who are committed to the profession, choose to remain teachers.</p>\n<p>You are right, C.W. when you say that \"many of them are here just to go with prostitutes and drink beer.\" They give us all a bad name. Language schools should be judged not only by how much they are willing to pay competent teachers, but also on how often they are willing to hire them, keep them, and offer them benefits such as health care and a legitimate work visa. I\'m sick of people telling me to just \"cross the border every few months.\" That\'s illegal and schools who do that should be reported to the proper authorities.</p>\n<p>S.H. writes,<br />Hello Steve,<br />I couldn\'t agree more with you about the sad reality that Jane Doe calls a life. This is a human being and a young girl at that. It\'s not about her. It\'s about the rest of humanity--- the ones who didn\'t question, didn\'t fight vigorously enough, didn\'t apply ourselves to the right goals for the right reasons, the ones who didn\'t care.</p>\n<p>From America I went to Bangladesh to try to make a difference, and was spat upon, assaulted, lied to, cheated, and threatened. After 3 years of frustration (and I had some darn good jobs too), I finally bought a plane ticket to Thailand. After 2 years in Bangkok, I am dismayed to discover that it is mostly a veneer. There are so many underlying problems in this society which Thais simply refuse to acknowledge. This is not cultural arrogance on my part. They cannot live in isolation anymore and they know that. But they are so ill-equipped to deal with this inter-related world.</p>\n<p>I am also aghast at the lack of appreciation by Thais of the differences between the typical sex tourist farangs and folks like me who want to live here peacefully, contribute to this nation, and help foster greater understanding and respect between Thais and foreigners. A salient point is the teaching and learning of English. What a scam it has turned out to be.</p>\n<p>I have been trying to get a teaching job here in Thailand and have encountered all sorts of hurtles. Frankly, I don\'t know what schools want. Do they want your short-stay hippies or do they want to trust their children\'s future with folks like you and me who want to actually teach, show by example, and educate through experience? I am not in Thailand for the sunshine and the cheap women. Hell, I don\'t even drink alcohol. I like Thai food, the people, the smiles from the street vendors, and the shopping. Why can\'t I find a good teaching job where it really matters?</p>\n<p>What do schools want from foreigners? In a word, S.H., they want everything. They want to make money off our fair-skinned, blond-haired, blue-eyed look without having to pay us much or, more importantly, without having to respect the work that you and I do. I wrote about this extensively for ajarn.com while teaching in Korea.</p>\n<p>You said in your letter to me that \"Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country that was never colonized by western powers.\"</p>\n<p>True. Now think about this. Maybe it is this fact which scares Thailand the most. Maybe it is the fact that Thailand has never been colonized by the West that prevents them from allowing foreign teachers to reach their full potential in the classroom. The same fact (and fear) which also does not allow foreigners to own land. To the Thai mind--- \"unprepared to deal with our modern, economically-interdependent world\"--- foreign ownership of land and the shaping of young Thai minds in the classroom by foreign teachers, at the very least, smacks of western interference in domestic affairs. For those Thais who are ultra-nationalistic, it is little more than western imperialism and perhaps a precursor to colonization.</p>\n<p>There are some good schools out there. It\'s tough searching for them, but we do need to seek them out just as the good schools need to do a little more digging when it comes to finding and hiring dedicated professionals.</p>\n<p>An interesting point was made by Dale when he wrote,</p>\n<p>Hello Steve,<br />I am a teacher in Thailand who is losing his job this month because of some of the things that you talk about. They [the school] had two teachers (Native English speaking) tell me to lighten up on my students. I was making them learn English with Economics, Literature, Social Studies, and Current Events/Politics. The Thai teachers at the school told me to be easier to the students till the grades came out from the tests which showed a major improvement in their ability.</p>\n<p>Congratulations for the article and keep up the good fight.</p>\n<p>Lighten up on students. Don\'t push them too hard. Don\'t expect much from them. Funny, that\'s what I was told in the South Korean public schools while teaching in the EPIK program. Far too many students are not being given the education that they need and deserve. That\'s why we must, as Dale put it, keep up the good fight.</p>\n<p>Why then are we hired as educators? Well, for the most part, we\'re not. Many schools simply want \"edutainers.\" (God, how I hate that word.) Cases in point from two ads on a popular EFL job website.</p>\n<p><br />Example One:<br />\"We offer multiple level programs focusing on \'edutainment\' for children,\" claims one ad. They stress bringing \"enjoyment into the classroom.\"</p>\n<p>Example Two:<br />A school \"founded in 1996 by a group of professionals in the education circle who shared the same philosophy: \'Children learn best when learning is fun.\' There is no textbook and students learn through participation in songs, games, and other fun activities.\"</p>\n<p>Oh goodie! Are there cookies and ice-cream for the kiddies after all of that strenuous singing and playing? There are other examples of \"edutainment\" schools, of course.</p>\n<p>The school in example two does offer 35,000 to 40,000 Baht a month based on qualifications and experience. I would love to know what qualifications and experience a man would need to work in a school like that. \"Well, I have ears like Dumbo the Elephant and spent a summer dressed as a clown singing songs at birthday parties. And I was the \'Hamburglar\' in a school play way back in \'79.\" Great, you\'re hired.</p>\n<p>Other fun activities? Like what? Throwing paper airplanes at the teacher? Playing BINGO? Dancing to Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse? And teachers sit in bars or bitch and moan on open forums and wonder why the students don\'t respect them. \"But I sing them songs and give them cookies. And then we dance. But I\'m not respected as a teacher. Boo-whoo!\" Gee, I wonder why. I\'ve been racking my brain trying to figure that one out.</p>\n<p>Now before I get all sorts of emails telling me what a horribly serious teacher I am, I\'m not against having fun in the classroom. And, believe it or not, I have been known to play the odd game every now and then. But there is a time and a place. These ads for \"edutainment\" teachers, (a dangerous oxymoron), compel me to ask two serious questions.</p>\n<p>1) With all of the singing, dancing, and playing that these \"edutainment\" schools do, how much time is left over for actual teaching?</p>\n<p>2) I realize and understand that children need active participation in the learning process.<br />However, how much of this \"edutainment\" philosophy is based on a genuine epistemological concern about how children learn best, and how much of it is based upon a perversity in the powers-that-be to see a foreign person dance?</p>\n<p>These are important questions because the truth revealed in the answers of the powers-that-be and the lemming-like antics of sycophant \"edutainers\" says more about them and their lack of professionalism than it does about serious, caring, and dedicated EFL professionals. Edutainment teachers is a dangerous oxymoron and an even more dangerous reality given how many teachers in both the public and private sectors are verbally and physically attacked every year by students who simply cannot respect teachers that sing and dance instead of teach.</p>\n<p>There are schools and governments that actually feel threatened by caring, competent, and dedicated foreign teachers. They make the locals look and feel incompetent by comparison and, understandably, no one wants to look and feel that way. No school feels threatened by a 24 year old hippie backpacker who spends his Bangkok nights drinking 40 baht bottles of Chang in Boom Booms Beer Bar. And just how threatening to the Thai educational system is a 55 year old fat bald guy nursing a gin and tonic in Spank Me A Go-Go? Let\'s face it, in the land of smiles these blokes blend.</p>\n<p>Now a caring, competent, and dedicated EFL teacher, who truly desires to make a positive difference in the lives of students here, will stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. Regardless to age, girth, or lack of hair. Many schools don\'t want sore thumbs. Sore thumbs rock the boat. Sore thumbs have a work ethic. Sore thumbs get results. Sore thumbs demand that things are done efficiently, effectively, and properly.</p>\n<p>Until schools in this part of the world develop the courage to hire competent and professional foreign teachers, until the schools in this part of the world learn to respect these competent and professional foreign teachers and pay them what they are worth, then nothing will change. The powers-that-be know that. And so do competent and professional foreign teachers. There are some good schools out there that prize caring and competent foreign teachers, but unfortunately, they seem few and far between.</p>\n<p>Finally this from G.A P. in England,<br />Dear Steve,<br />I have just read your moving account of the fictitious Jane Doe (or perhaps not so fictitious) and have to agree with everything that you have written. I have visited Thailand and Cambodia and saw examples of what you have described. Most of the girl prostitutes do live in squalid and abominable conditions and no one seems the slightest bit interested or concerned. Your paragraphs about the attitude of TEFL teachers and their employers are equally true. The aim of teaching MUST be more than just imparting knowledge (or lack of) it MUST be teaching for life.</p>\n<p>Yes the aim of teaching MUST be more than just imparting knowledge. It MUST be teaching for life. Teaching respect, (respect for others and especially self-respect.) Honor, hard-work, patience, responsibility, sacrifice. These are universal values that make every society strong. Teachers have a responsibility to impart these values to their students wherever they are in the world. Caring, dedicated, and passionate teachers do this instinctively.</p>\n<p>I use the word passionate to describe caring and dedicated teachers because the etymology of the word passionate is the Latin word Pati. Pati means to suffer. Caring and dedicated teachers suffer when they see students not being given the proper knowledge that they so desperately need. The world is so confusing today for them. And so dangerous. We teach in the 21st century with an early 20Th century educational system. Millions of teachers and students are stuck in a time warp. But we caring, dedicated, and passionate teachers must struggle on and keep up the good fight. For our students, for ourselves, and for the teaching profession.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2009-07-01 06:03:01',1,'2009-07-01 06:03:01','2009-07-16 18:06:02'),(580,21,'Teacher agencies','teacher-agencies','Do they deserve such a bad press?','I first wrote about the topic of teacher placement agencies (TPAs) back in 2006.

Back then, there were relatively few TPAs recruiting foreign teachers in Thailand compared with the number who operate today - but even in those early days, there were certainly a good few complaints about them.</p>\n<p>I felt it was time to revisit the whole TPA debate <a href=\"http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/generationemigration/2014/06/21/banged-up-in-bangkok-after-job-agency-bends-the-visa-rules/\">having read this horror story about a Thai agent</a> who actually forged visas for two of his foreign teaching staff and thought they could get away with it.</p>\n<p>And the reason / excuse the agent gave upon his arrest? \"<span>The Thai visa process is an overcomplicated process and sometimes agencies like mine bend the rules to try to simplify matters and speed things up\"&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p>The two unfortunate teachers, blissfully unaware of their crime, were stopped by airport immigration and ended up doing jail time in Bangkok. The mind boggles. Let\'s all hope and pray that this is an isolated case because no teacher deserves that sort of punishment, regardless of how naive they were.</p>\n<p>I accept that this was a worst case scenario, but teachers and TPAs still seem to be having plenty of problems with each other. Let\'s investigate the situation once more.</p>\n<h3>Points to ponder</h3>\n<p>Before we go any further, it\'s important to keep the following points in mind;</p>\n<p>1) There are still decent TPAs out there. I don\'t know whether the good TPAs outnumber the bad ones or vice versa, but there are TPAs who look after their foreign teachers, pay salaries on time, support their teachers with coursework and act as that all-important buffer when problems or misunderstandings arise between the teacher and school management (as they frequently do).</p>\n<p>It would be grossly unfair to tar all PTAs with the same brush and say they are all bad. It\'s simply not the case.</p>\n<p>2) Bad news travels faster than good news on the internet. We rarely / never get comments from teachers along the lines of \"I work for a fantastic agency and here are the reasons why\" and likewise, despite my numerous invitations to the \'better TPAs\' to put forward their case on ajarn.com, none of them have ever taken me up on the offer, which is rather a shame.</p>\n<p>3) TPAs - the better ones of course - are still a decent choice for the \'new arrival\' in Thailand. I\'ve heard many teachers say with the gift of hindsight - \'find work with a TPA, get a year of teaching under your belt, learn the ropes - then in your second year, start applying to schools directly. That still sounds like good advice to me.</p>\n<h3>What is a TPA?&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>The concept behind the TPA is perfectly simple. A school or institute, for various reasons, is finding it difficult to employ decent teachers, so it turns to a \'middle man\' to recruit its teaching staff. Enter stage right - the good old teaching agency. The TPA asks a few questions of the school - \"How many teachers do you want? How many classes need to be taught? What are the levels of the students? What do they need to learn?\", etc, etc - and the TPA is in business.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know the financial nitty-gritty but I\'m pretty sure that a \'per teacher per year or per semester\' figure is decided upon, and in addition, the TPA will often make a \'charitable donation\' to the school to gain a foothold and become that school\'s official teacher supplier.</p>\n<p>TPAs are fiercely protective of their client list. The last thing TPAs want is for the names of their client schools to fall into the wrong hands and competitors approaching the schools directly and undercutting the price.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Why use a TPA?</h3>\n<p>We need to examine the reasons why many schools and universities are washing their hands of the task of hiring teachers and deciding to call in the middle men (the TPAs). There are a number of common reasons.</p>\n<p>Many institutes just don\'t have the Thai administration staff with the ability to distinguish between a career teacher and the guy who\'s going to ride off into the sunset the moment he gets his first pay packet (\"but he seemed so genuine at the interview\") A lot of schools have been bitten many times by \'fly-by-night\' teachers.</p>\n<p>The whole situation has become painfully embarrassing for them and just too difficult to manage. Not only that, but relationships between the school and student parents can become strained. No parent wants to constantly hear their son or daughter come home from school and tell them stories about their foreign English teacher not turning up for work again. After all, it\'s the parents who pay the school fees. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>So you can see the appeal for the school when along comes a TPA and promises to supply them with the best and most qualified teachers in Thailand (and it\'s incredible just how many TPAs have the \'best teachers in Thailand\' on their books) No more interviewing and selection headaches. No more serial absentees. No more alcoholics or recreational drug users. Nothing but an endless supply of great teachers.</p>\n<p>And if that wasn\'t enough to get the school owner jumping for joy, in many cases, the TPA even promises to replace any foreign teacher the school doesn\'t like (for whatever reason) - with another foreign teacher who might prove more popular. Many TPAs do make those kind of promises. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Employing foreign teachers can also be a major headache in terms of administration and paperwork. The school has to apply for a teacher\'s licence and a work permit. A school representative might need to make multiple trips to immigration to organize a teacher\'s long-stay visa. All of these processes require a mountain of documentation and photocopying as the teacher makes their way through the beauracratic maze and gets the bounced around from one government department to another.</p>\n<p>Many schools - those who still hire teachers directly - often have an \'admin person\' whose sole responsibility is to take care of these mundane tasks and cut through the notorious Thai red tape (and top marks to the school if they do) However, many schools are still utterly clueless when it comes to the job of making a new teacher \'legal\' (especially if hiring foreign teachers is new to them)</p>\n<p>So what\'s the solution? What\'s the easy way out? Answer = to hand over responsibility for all that stuff to a TPA. Let them take care of it. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>It\'s not what you know</h3>\n<p>Many Thais, often with little or no experience in the education, teaching or recruitment fields, will decide to embark on a career as teacher placement agent. One day they\'re a florist or an accountant in a struggling business, the next day they\'re a fully-fledged TPA. All you need are contacts - proving the old adage, it\'s not what you know, it\'s who you know.</p>\n<p>You would be surprised at just how many Thais will have a best friend or relative who is responsible for the hiring of teachers at a local school. Over a coffee and a chat, one of them lets slip how much trouble her school is having finding good, reliable teachers. The other person immediately sniffs a lucrative business opportunity. Minimal research then fills in the blanks. A desk, a phone, an ad on ajarn.com and before you can say \"don\'t worry about a work permit\" another new TPA joins the ranks.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, for every teacher placement agency that folds, it seems like there are two new kids on the block looking to fill the gap they\'ve vacated. It\'s not a situation that\'s going to change in the forseeable future. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Good money in it?</h3>\n<p>Teachers working for TPAs in Thailand generally make in the region of 30,000 to 35,000 baht a month (Filipinos considerably less). Most of the \'dodgier\' TPAS will pay at the lower end of that scale. Always the big question on a teacher\'s lips is how much money is the school paying the TPA? In other words, how much is the TPA skimming off the top when I\'m the one who does all the hard work in the classroom?</p>\n<p>I find this a moot question. Who should care about how much profit the TPA is making? They have overheads. The TPA has often had to go out there and secure and negotiate contracts. There\'s also the \'charitable donation\' I mentioned earlier. I\'m sure your average TPA could list plenty of other business expenses they have.</p>\n<p>I\'m all for teachers earning a decent salary (and in my opinion 30K is just not enough) but there has to be profit in it for the TPA as well. And I\'m talking about the good TPAs here of course.</p>\n<h3>So how about your opinions?</h3>\n<p>I\'ve never worked for a TPA so how do I know what really goes on? It\'s always best to get the views of those on the front-line. Please keep in mind that the comments from different teachers below are at least five years old (about the time I last updated this article) but that shouldn\'t make them any less relevant. I\'m sure the same old problems exist today, probably even more so. Anyway, here are some of your TPA experiences.</p>\n<p><strong>Any new comments on this article (hopefully) will appear in the comments section at the bottom of the page.&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<h3>Chris says it\'s only for the money</h3>\n<p>Just a couple of very brief comments, maybe somewhat subjective, but definitely based on my own earlier experience in Thailand and on that of a few acquaintances and close friends:</p>\n<p>No, TPAs are not a prerequisite for the employment chain. Anyone with the confidence to be a teacher, has the confidence to organize himself with a list of schools and do his own walk-in interviews. It is a proven fact that this formula works best.</p>\n<p>The vast majority of these agencies, alas, are doing it strictly for the money and exploiting the situation that a great many schools in Thailand do not have the foggiest idea of how to go about recruiting anyone from janitors to directors of studies.</p>\n<p>The schools are easily taken in by the smooth-talking ex beach-bar bully from Phuket who swears that all his teachers are qualified and experienced. This way, the schools themselves never get to see these &lsquo;qualifications\', often assuming that the placement agency is the employer, and that the agency has provided the necessary working documents.</p>\n<h3>Dee escapes the TPA shackles</h3>\n<p>I make very little money while the agency sells me for a profit - a profit that goes straight into the boss\'s pocket. He charges the high school I\'m at about 450 an hour and pays me 250 baht an hour. I am a professional teacher with 17 years experience, an MA in English and a teaching credential (the real thing). The agency has not secured my visa, I\'m on a tourist visa. They did not set up housing, I\'m at a guest house. I\'m working full time and I don\'t even have a damn kitchen!</p>\n<p>I don\'t get it. Why do people work in Thailand? I\'ve been coming here for years on holiday and, yes, it\'s a great country, but the pay is inexcusable! I\'m teaching so a guy can get rich? I worked in China (a third world country, despite the propaganda) and was reimbursed my full air fare, given a free luxury two-bedroom apartment and transport to/from work. And my salary was $200 more than the lousy $600 I make here. As I said, I don\'t get it. Why would any qualified person work here?</p>\n<h3>Welcome to my dining table - in the kitchen</h3>\n<p>I wanted to make a comment on the teacher agencies acting as a middleman for schools and instructors. I think it\'s a complete waste of my time and I personally don\'t think that teachers need agencies to help them out. This isn\'t a modeling agency and we don\'t need agents as this isn\'t a cat-walk event.</p>\n<p>Some agencies pretends to have an office and it\'s usually a dining table in their kitchen. I had been looking for work and e-mailed my resume to numerous places. One of them in particular caught my attention. I finally made up my mind and went to meet him. As his address was not familiar to me, I didn\'t really know where I was going though I was shocked when i got to his \"so called office\" -a dining table with a laptop.</p>\n<p>The man had the nerve to ask me for a 30,000-40,000 Baht commission once he helped me find work. I did ask him why he didn\'t deal with the school directly... he said \"the school wouldn\'t even know that I\'m your agent, and when you go in for the interview don\'t tell them who referred you to the school - make believe you applied to it yourself\". I ran out of there in five minutes and it scared me to death.</p>\n<h3>Jim\'s scam agent story</h3>\n<p>I know of a fake agency that is taking hordes of money from unsuspecting ESL teachers searching for jobs online. I fell prey to them about three months ago, mostly due to my lack of knowledge regarding typical salaries paid in various provinces.</p>\n<p>I received an e-mail from the agency (whose name is getting splattered on many ESL discussion boards) who advertised a very high salary being offered by a school in Thailand. His e-mail mentioned a fee up-front for visa processing and later a 25% fee from the first month\'s salary.</p>\n<p>No excuse, but my time has been running out here in China where I\'m teaching at a bilingual school in Guangzhou, so I wanted something concrete and was willing to pay well for it. At first the agent in Thailand asked me to send him my credentials and all original documents to him, which I simply refused to do. I told him he would get copies and would have to deal with that or the deal was off.</p>\n<p>He accepted the copies and then wanted a total of 2500 Baht for the processing, which I wired to him via Western Union. He sent me an e-mail detailing not only his address in Bangkok but also his bank information for money transfer (in case Western Union didn\'t work out) and phone numbers.</p>\n<p>Long story short, I should have known it was a scam because he was claiming that the school was offering 48,000.00 Baht a month for it\'s ESL teachers (an outrageous amount for that area, which I would have known had I researched it a bit more).</p>\n<p>After wiring him the money, he disappeared off the face of the earth for a while until finally I received an e-mail from him, claiming the agency had changed their policy and could no longer wait until the teacher was placed in the job because so many of their (supposed) past bad teachers still had not paid their 25%, so he required me to send half of the 25% salary cut now in order to ensure he was going to collect his fee for getting me a job.</p>\n<p>I flat out refused and basically told him what I thought of him and informed him that I would be notifying Dave\'s ESL Cafe of his little scam and that I had done some research and obtained an e-mail address from the school directly. The school had told me that the whole agency process was a scam and that many other ESL teachers had complained about getting trapped.</p>\n<p>Obviously, I never heard from him again. I\'ve kept all the receipts from the Western Union wire and all the original e-mails from this scumbag and it\'s obvious to me that he is definitely in Bangkok and still scamming and sucking money from the pockets of unsuspecting ESL teachers.</p>\n<h3>My agent makes a mint</h3>\n<p>I found out recently what my employer is receiving. He runs an agency here in Thailand. He charges the school on a per student basis, not a per hour basis, and his prices are pretty much in line with what other agencies are charging upcountry. He charges 500 baht per student per term. That may not sound like a lot but here are the figures for last year......</p>\n<p>Revenue: approximately 980 students in the school x 500 baht= 490,000 baht. multiply that by two terms and you get 980,000 baht</p>\n<p>His monthly expenses: My salary 26,000. My assistant 7,000. Supplies 1,000. Utilities 2,000. &nbsp;Total: 36,000 per month x 12 months= 432,000 plus a bonus of 26,000 for me = 458,000 baht for expenses</p>\n<p>But he also has expenses for his small office in his house, which come to about 66,000 baht a year.</p>\n<p>Total expenses= 522,000 Total profit= 458,000 per year or 38,000 a month for this one school.</p>\n<p>He has two schools on his books and his income approaches 76,000 baht on his total outlay of time, which is about 3 to 4 hours a week. iMost of the time, he sits around surfing the internet, watching UBC at home and in the evening, he teaches private classes.</p>\n<p>The only time I see him is when he stops by the school to collect his pay on the last day of the month.</p>\n<p>As we are both foreigners, my outlay of time is disproportionate to his outlay of time for the income involved. I think the schools are the ones who lose out, not the foreigners.</p>\n<p>The problem is that the agencies are selling a product and claiming it is superior, but the teachers they are providing are not up to snuff - in essence the schools are being cheated. And ultimately the students are. Teachers work to the level that there income is, like all humans. I will put on a better class if I am paid 50,000 a month versus 26,000 a month. You know this. So I won\'t keep it up. And I find it harder to work for the school when I know what is happening.</p>\n<h3>Thumbs up for TPAs</h3>\n<p>As long as the agent is paying the teacher something around the going rate I don\'t see a problem. The teacher always has the option of asking around at a few schools and landing an 80,000 baht job for himself - or perhaps something just a little lower - if these scenarios abound.</p>\n<p>I think the annoying ones are where the school pays seven or eight hundred baht an hour, and the agent pays less than half that to the teacher, while having few significant overheads to meet.</p>\n<p>To be honest, I can see the day when agencies are the main employers of teachers. I know in England, people are leaving their permanent jobs and signing up with supply agencies. Basically you get all the perks and none of the shit and you get to pick and choose when you work and when you don\'t want to. I think again it comes down to supply and demand. Think about how many computer programmers etc are self employed or work on a contract.</p>\n<p>I know in Japan that some of the language schools work like agencies. Shane for example sends teachers to a different base each day. Also the teacher may be asked at short notice to go to a different school that day. Agencies may not be good for the idea that students/teachers develop a relationship over time, but who gives a shit about that? IMO teaching agencies empower the teacher.</p>\n<p>This allows the teachers to teach and not deal with the bullshit and Thai school politics. Also the teacher has someone to turn to for assistance. That is great, but teachers should still have their take increased to 50% of whatever is being charged. You have a lot of greedy people out there starting agencies that have no idea about education and quality.</p>\n<p>Give it a year or two and every mom and pop is going to be opening an agency to cash in on the huge pot.</p>\n<h3>Agencies fill a gap in the market</h3>\n<p>I don\'t have a problem with agencies. I think agencies have a place to fill in the market, either by providing teachers to schools who are incapable or unwilling to get teachers themselves. Or by providing short-term cover teachers the way supply agencies do in England.</p>\n<p>Of course I do have a problem with &lsquo;bad agencies\'. The ones we hear about all the time. The ones who don\'t provide work permits and medical insurance. Low pay isn\'t an issue for me. If you are willing to work for 20,000 Baht a month then that\'s your problem but the agency should be forced to provide a work permit and foreign workers really need medical insurance in this country as well.</p>\n<h3>Too many cowboys?</h3>\n<p>The really problem as I see it is not agencies but cowboy agencies, and this is unfortunately what most agencies in Thailand are.</p>\n<p>In the UK a teacher placement agency would assume some responsibility for checking out the school you were going to and would have the job of checking your qualifications and generally making sure the whole process was legal. In Thailand most agencies just take the money from the school and pocket the profit.</p>\n<p>They don\'t care about the teacher - or the client for that matter. It is though they believe that the supply of teachers and clients is endless so it doesn\'t matter how you treat them as long as you\'re making as much profit as possible. At the end of the day what Thailand needs is more professional, well-run agencies to drive the cowboys out of business.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately I don\'t think we will get many of those in the near future.</p>\n<h3>A word from an agent with a different approach?</h3>\n<p>As an agent may I put my two pence worth in? As opposed to most agencies I do not, and never will employ teachers to work in Thai schools. I work purely as a middle man locating teachers for schools to employ directly.</p>\n<p>All the schools I represent I visit and check their teacher\'s contract first. The schools MUST provide all legal paperwork for the teachers. I charge a one off fee to the school of 20,000 or 25,000 baht per teacher for a one year contract.</p>\n<p>If the teacher breaks the contract for any reason I replace them free of charge. I try to interview all teachers prior to taking them to the school to introduce them. Due to time restraints set by the school I have been known to telephone interview, both locally and internationally.</p>\n<p>I try as much as possible to get the best salary and conditions for the teachers, which is not easy. I never charge the teachers anything. Once the teacher is in place at the school I act as an intermediary if there are any problems between the schools and the teacher. I act as a taxi driver taking the teachers for interviews at schools, many times all weekend.</p>\n<p>I am selective of the schools I work with, as I am with the teachers I represent. I give as much as I can - a professional service that the schools and the teachers appreciate.</p>\n<p>I am on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for both teachers and schools. I don\'t believe there is another agency in Thailand giving the same service, and I have been told recently I am the least expensive in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Finally, I have taught in Thai schools for over 12 years and understand the difficulties encountered by many foreign teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com - I\'m almost 100% sure that this agent went out of business beacuse I haven\'t heard from him for a good few years. I\'ll let you draw your own conclusions.</strong></p>\n<h3><strong>Further Reading</strong></h3>\n<p><strong>Jason Alavi, who runs a TPA in North Bangkok, and is still very much in business, wrote two very interesting blogs on the topic of Thailand teacher agencies back in 2008.

However, in order to allow Thai students to be exposed to native-spoken English, schools recruit native-speaking teachers. Thailand has opened itself to foreign visitors, many of whom speak English; so if Thai students can improve their language skills and understand better the foreign cultures of these visitors, it will be very helpful to Thailand\'s development.</p>\n<p><strong>What are the MoE\'s expectations regarding native-speaker teachers?</strong></p>\n<p>The MoE expects foreign teachers to (1) improve the communicative language skills of Thai students (2) teach specializations such as translation and foreign examinations, etc.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been a teacher in Thailand since 1999 and witnessed what seems to be an explosion in demand for native-speaker teachers beginning just a few years ago. Why?</p>\n<p>In fact, neither the Thai Government nor the MoE force educational institutes to have native-speaker teachers. Nevertheless, parental demand encourages each institute to find their own foreign teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Why does it appear there are special rules for government education institutes regarding the employment of native-speaker teachers?</strong></p>\n<p>If the Government or the MoE forced educational institutes to employ native-speaker teachers, there would need to be universal employment requirements that would include Thai Government education institutes. This is not possible as it conflicts with current Thai law regarding employment as a government officer.</p>\n<p>Conditions regarding employment as a government officer: <br />1. Must have at least a first degree<br />2. Maximum starting salary 7,xxx Baht. (Seven Thousand something Baht).<br />3. A Thai Government Officer must have Thai nationality.<br />4. A Thai Government Education Institute Teacher is a Thai Government Officer.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the normal practice in government schools, colleges, and universities when they hire foreign teachers is to create a special employment agreement (อัตราจ้างพิเศษ) between the teacher and the individual institute. This agreement may, or may not, specify the minimum qualification as degree and/or TEFL.</p>\n<p>From the native-speaker teacher\'s perspective it appears that it\'s now much harder to work legally as a teacher in Thailand. Certainly within staffrooms and internet discussion boards across Thailand some native-speaker teachers are starting to feel insecure about their future here.</p>\n<p>The situation regarding foreign teachers in Thailand has been examined by the Thai Government more closely recently because of a few criminal cases, including Jon Mark Carr, involving foreigners who disguised themselves as English teachers. The Thai Government and the MoE had to take urgent action to protect Thai schools, colleges, universities and their students. In actual fact, there are many bad cases involving Thai teachers as well. However, bad Thai teachers are covered under existing Thai laws and regulations; there are specific and strong punishments for these teachers. Regulations and punishments for foreign teachers have still not been clarified.<br />There are several foreign languages, including English, whose instruction is supported by the MoE. Thus, there is not a policy to remove foreign teachers from the country. On the contrary, the MoE has been trying to improve the whole process to manage foreign teachers in Thailand more effectively. The Thai government still supports Thai students to have experience regarding foreign countries, cultures, and languages.</p>\n<p><strong>What are the minimum qualifications to work as a native-speaker English teacher in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>Foreign teacher\'s qualifications are decided at the discretion of each individual education institute. At this present time there are no rigid rules regarding the hiring of foreign teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Is it compulsory to have a teacher licence?</strong></p>\n<p>No. Currently, they are only an individual school\'s requirement. Teacher licences are issued and withdrawn by the Teacher Council Board of Thailand (คุรุสภา). Please read the latest announcement from the Teacher Council Board (TCB) *. At present this is only a notification and has not yet been accepted as the final version. The TCB is still working on the final standard of qualification for foreign teachers in Thailand. <br />Currently the TCB is actively trying to implement teacher licenses for all Thai teachers. In future it\'s the intention of the TCB that all foreign teachers in normal private and government schools [15/1] will be required to have them as well, but for now it\'s the individual school\'s requirement. Foreign teachers in language schools [15/2] and free/merit [15/3] schools will be exempt.<br />In future the teacher licence will need to be applied for by the teachers themselves.</p>\n<p><strong>What teacher information is required by education offices?</strong></p>\n<p>A copy of their degree, evidence of a non-immigrant &lsquo;B\' visa and the police check clearance from the Thai FBI. <br />The police check procedure for foreign teachers in Thailand is that the local education office will send the teacher\'s passport information to the Thai FBI (ตำรวจสันติบาล) in Bangkok to inspect the teacher\'s background when the school registers its teacher with its local education office.<br />The degree certificate is only checked if the education office has information that leads it to believe the document is not valid. Schools are responsible for checking the authenticity of degree certificates.<br />If any information is found to be invalid, the teacher\'s personal information will be added to a blacklist and he or she will not be able to teach in Thailand again. In future this information will also be forwarded to the TCB.</p>\n<p><strong>Are schools obligated to provide this information?</strong></p>\n<p>Currently, no!</p>\n<p><strong>Is there a MoE crackdown on fake qualifications?</strong></p>\n<p>Concerning fake degrees, the school\'s directors/owners are responsible for checking the authenticity. The degree document will be sent to the local education office. If it is found to be a fake at a future time, that foreigner may be prosecuted under civil and/or criminal law by the Thai government.</p>\n<p><strong>How can schools check the authenticity of degrees?</strong></p>\n<p>We know it\'s very difficult because some fakes are very real looking. We also know it\'s very difficult to expect schools to try to contact the originating university because of information protection laws in many western countries. What do you suggest?</p>\n<p>I agree that it\'s difficult and time consuming. I don\'t have a solution. How does the MoE view education in Thailand?</p>\n<p>In summary, the Thai MoE\'s concept of education in Thailand is to:</p>\n<p>1. Bring Thai wisdom to students<br />2. Bring foreign wisdom to students<br />3. Bring local wisdom to students</p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for allowing me to interview you.

My name is Jason Alavi. I\'d like to give you a little background about myself so you know why Phil has so graciously allowed me to write this column. <br />I have my own private English school in Rangsit, Pathumthani. My main line of work is providing and managing foreign teachers for several schools in Pathumthani province (just Northeast of Bangkok) and the neighboring areas. I have been doing this for six years, so I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly (Yes, I\'m a big Clint Eastwood fan) from both my teachers and their Thai counterparts. For lack of a more readily recognizable term, you can call me a \"Teacher Agency\" although I\'m usually reluctant to describe myself as such. This is because many teacher agencies have reputations that are not as good as they should be. Everyone should remember that no one is perfect.<br />I asked Phil if I could write from the teacher agency\'s point of view, so as to let all of you teachers out there know that there are many good, honest, fair and professional people in this industry.

My email address is teacherfinder@hotmail.com.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>May 2008 - The new teacher licensing regulations</p>\n<p>Now, to the subject of this column; \"New Teacher Licensing Regulations\". There is a lot of confusion out there as to what we have to do and who does or does not have to do it. First, let me state that all of the information that I am about to give you is correct as of Monday, May 19th, 2008. If you\'ve been here even one year you probably know that rules and regulations change here with a frequency that would not be accepted back home. T.I.T. (This is Thailand) Moaning about \"this would never happen in... or \"the way things should be\" doesn\'t help anyone. Let\'s deal with the reality. If anyone after reading this has some more recent information or thinks that any of my information is incomplete or incorrect, please let me know! I would appreciate it. I can disseminate to a lot of other people who might be in need of it.<br /><br />There are 3 types of applicants and 4 methods to apply for a teachers\' license. Details follow:</p>\n<p><strong>Applicant Type 1 - (Method 1)<br /></strong>For any teachers possessing a Bachelor Degree (or higher) in EDUCATION. People in this category must possess, obtain and/or complete the following:<br />1) Must possess a Bachelors of Education from an internationally accredited and recognized university. <br />2) Must possess a valid Non-Immigrant Visa<br />3) Must attend and successfully complete the \"Foreign Teacher Thai Culture Training Program\" which has been designed by The Teachers Council of Thailand. <br />4) Must possess a valid Work Permit<br />5) Must have at least 1 full academic years teaching experience and be able to provideverifiable documentation to prove as much. (University teaching internships can be counted.)<br />6) A certified translation of all of their academic documents. (Transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc.) This translation must be done by a licensed translation service.<br />7) Two 1 inch, color pictures<br />8) A receipt for the 500 Baht application fee, for the Teachers License itself. This can be obtained at The Teachers Council of Thailand. When you have completed all of the above steps, you can then apply for (and receive) a Teachers License from The Teachers Council of Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Applicant Type 2 - (Method 2)</strong><br />For any teachers possessing a Bachelor Degree (or higher) in anything OTHER than education. People in this category must possess, obtain and/or complete the following:<br />1) Must possess a Bachelors Degree from an internationally accredited and recognized university. <br />2) Must possess a valid Non-Immigrant Visa<br />3) Must attend and successfully complete the \"Foreign Teacher Thai Culture Training Program\" which has been designed by The Teachers Council of Thailand. <br />4) Must possess a valid Work Permit<br />5) A certified translation of all of their academic documents. (Transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc.) This translation must be done by a licensed translation service.<br />6) Two 1 inch, color pictures<br />7) A receipt for the 500 Baht application fee, for the Teachers License itself. This can be obtained at The Teachers Council of Thailand.<br />8) ****** Must successfully complete a one year \"Teacher Professional Licensing Course\" at any academic institution authorized to offer it by The Teachers Council of Thailand. The average rate for this course is 60,000 Baht and the courses are held on either a few weeknights per week or on weekends. When you have completed all of the above steps, you can then apply for (and receive) a Teachers License from The Teachers Council of Thailand.</p>\n<p>OR<br /><strong>Applicant Type 2 - (Method 3)</strong><br />- Steps 1 through 7, same as Method 2<br />8) Take a 4 part written exam, in lieu of the year long course. Each part of the exam costs 1,000 baht to take. If you pass all 4 parts you\'ll receive a certificate proving so. When you have completed all of the above steps, you can then apply for (and <br />receive) a Teachers License from The Teachers Council of Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Applicant Type 3 - (Method 4)</strong><br />For any teachers possessing a High School Diploma, or lower. People in this category must possess, obtain and/or complete the following:<br />1) Must be able to provide original transcripts from the institution where their highest educational level was attained.<br />2) Must possess a valid Non-Immigrant Visa<br />3) Must attend and successfully complete the \"Foreign Teacher Thai Culture Training Program\" which has been designed by The Teachers Council of Thailand. <br />4) Must possess a valid Work Permit<br />5) A certified translation of all of their academic documents. (Transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc.) This translation must be done by a licensed translation service.<br />6) Two 1 inch, color pictures<br />7) A receipt for the 500 Baht application fee, for the Teachers License itself. This can be obtained at The Teachers Council of Thailand.<br />8) **** The Principal of the school they are working at must write a letter to The President of The Teachers Council of Thailand. This letter is to, basically, beg The Teachers Council to issue a Teacher License to said teacher for one or more of several possible reasons:<br />a) The school does not have the budget to hire anyone else<br />b) The teacher has many years of teaching experience, whether at that school or others and The Principal feels that this should be considered, in place of a Bachelors of Ed.<br />c) The teacher has been through many conferences, seminars, training sessions, etc and The Principal feels that this should be considered, in place of a Bachelors of Ed.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Warning!! I have been told by The President of The Teachers Council of Thailand that rarely is a teachers licenses awarded this way, so I wouldn\'t count on it as a truly viable alternative if I were you.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>When you have completed all of the above steps, you can then apply for (and receive) a Teachers License from The Teachers Council of Thailand. Now, after reading every thread I could I find on this subject on the ajarn forum and other teacher gathering places, I would like to try and answer some of the questions I have been reading from many posters.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Some people have been wondering where to take the 20 hour Thai Culture Training Course. There are a few places that have been approved by The Teachers\' Council of Thailand, (T.C.T.) that I have been made aware of. There are probably many other places, but these are the only ones I know of now. I am not recommending any of them, just passing on knowledge. These are:</p>\n<p>1) The Filipino Educators in Thailand (www.filipinoeducatorsinthailand.com) ,I tried to get a phone number and an address for them but their website was down. I do not know if they ONLY accept Filipinos or accept all nationalities to attend their classes. The course is supposed to be taught in English, not Tagalog. If any one finds out the price details, please let me know. Thanks.</p>\n<p>2) Chandrakasem Rajabhat University, which is in Bangkok. Registration and Education Promotional Office, Tel. 0-2541-7744, 0-2942-6900-99 ext 1210-1241) A Belgian teacher of mine went through this course a year ago and said it was very professionally run and came with many helpful materials. They charged him 8,000 baht.</p>\n<p>3) Suan Dusit Rajabhat University, (www.dusit.ac.th) (02) 244 - 5000. I do not know anyone who has gone through them. If anyone has, please share your thoughts, experiences and opinions.</p>\n<p>4) Thepsatri Rajabhat Lopburi University, (www.tro.ac.th) (036) 422-607-9 ext. 426 or (081) 745-6668. I do not know anyone who has gone through them. If anyone has, please share your thoughts, experiences and opinions.</p>\n<p>If you want to know of any other schools approved by The Teachers Council of Thailand, contact them directly and ask. Their website address is www.ksp.or.th. As of the writing of this article, NO downloadable documents could be downloaded through their home page. The Teachers Council of Thailand\'s phone number is (02) 280 - 4331 or (02) 280 - 4334 thru 4339. Some helpful links are below: (Thank you to Jimmy Lee, through Ajarn.com)<br />http://www.ajarn.com/trainingprogramforforeignteachers.htm <br />http://www.ksp.or.th/upload/301/files/570-8429.pdf <br />http://www.ksp.or.th/upload/301/files/570-8429.pdf <br />http://foreprof.ksp.or.th/foreign-test.pdf <br />http://www.ajarn.com/Filipino/articles/culturecoursecomments.htm</p>\n<p>The first memo about these new regulations from The Ministry of Education and The Teachers Council of Thailand came out about 2 years ago. Until a few months ago, no mention of this has ever been made to me at either Immigration or The Labor Department. When I tried getting new visas and work permits for my teachers, (a few months ago) the Immigration officials told me that the teacher had to have their teachers license under the new regs before they could be issued a Non-Immigrant Visa.</p>\n<p>They recommended me to call The Teachers Council and ask for an \"Extension of Permission To Work Without a Teachers License\" (ทำจดหมายถึงเลขาธิการคุรุสภาเพื่อขอหนังสือขออนุญาตให้ครูชาวต่างชาติปฏิบัติการสอนไปก่อนโดยไม่มีใบอนุญาตประกอบวิชาชีพ, in Thai) under the new regulations. The Teachers Council did give me as many as I needed. Each one was good for TWO years. So that means that my teachers can continue to work until mid-February 2010, before they will need a teachers license. Now, in the latest memo pertaining to all of the Teacher Licensing Requirements, The Teachers Council stated that teachers had until \"the end of the academic year ending in 2009\" (which is Mid February 2009) to get all of their ducks in a row so to speak. So we have Immigration officials saying one thing, letters from The Teachers Council granting another and memos from The Teachers Council saying yet another! Where does that leave us? I don\'t know.<br /><br />For example, I have an American teacher who is 50 years old - a fantastic teacher, has a great attitude to work, but never finished his bachelor degree. Now according to these new regulations, he is supposed to finish his degree between now and mid February of 2010. How is he supposed to do that? He\'s not. I have also heard the date January 15th thrown around, as a rumor, as to the cut-off date for when those of you who do not have a teacher\'s license (under these new regulations) will no longer be able to get a non-immigrant visa.<br /><br />As far as I know it\'s an unsubstantiated rumor. Who knows what\'s going to happen? I think (and hope) what will happen is that the MOE and The Teachers Council will stick to their guns until a few weeks into the 2010/2011 academic year. (Somewhere around early June 2010.) Then when around 80 percent of all Thai public and private schools suddenly can\'t find foreign teachers, they\'ll probably come up with a flexible way for everyone to work. Yes, for my business these rules are as difficult as they are for all of you individual teachers. Every April and May I typically have about 800 applicants to fill the 5 to 10 positions I need. This year I had less than 400 - a drop of MORE THAN 50%!! The only thing different this year is the teachers license requirements, not to mention the criminal background check (which I think is a great idea!) I need to know if any of my applicants are running from the law.</p>\n<p>Oh...in case you are wondering, even the teachers who work in shopping mall English schools are affected by these rules. These schools are officially classified as \"15 (2) Private Schools\" under M.O.E. Code. These are any private schools which do NOT have to follow the curriculum guidelines set forth by The MOE, such as language schools, beauty schools, sewing schools, dancing schools, etc. They all have their own curriculums, which are not dictated by The MOE. A \"15 (1) Private School\" is a private school that must follow the curriculum guidelines set forth by The MOE. Some new information I received, just this afternoon, is that <br />1) If a private language school (like mine) sends a letter to The Office of The Private Education Commission (O.P.E.C.)(www.opec.go.th) officially appointing that foreigner as a \"person who engages in the act of teaching\" (but NOT as a \"Teacher\") that foreigner does NOT have to have a teachers license. <br />2) However, if that language school wants that foreigner to be officially listed as a \"Teacher\", that foreigner will have to get a teachers license. Gee, I wonder how many of us will want \"Teachers\"?<br />This information was correct as of today, May 18th, 2008. It may change soon, who knows? If you want to be sure, ask your employer to ask OPEC.</p>\n<p>Going back to the teacher licensing methods, I think that the vast majority of teachers are going to try to use Method 4. That is where the school they are working at sends a letter to The Teachers Council, basically begging them to give this teacher a Teacher\'s License. However, The President of The Teachers Council has told me that it is VERY rare that they will grant one of these. Don\'t worry though because if you are lucky enough to be granted a visa this way it is yours for life, even though you would not have gotten it without the school\'s help. You will not lose it if and when you stop working for that school. The days of a school being able to hold a teacher\'s license over a teacher\'s head are over. At the most you would owe the school a debt of gratitude.</p>\n<p>So to conclude - no matter who you are or what your educational background is, you\'ll have to take the 20 hour \"Thai Culture Training Course\". The sooner you do it, the better for you. It may help earn you some leniency in getting an extension, because at least you\'re trying to do what they want and show good faith. As far as the other requirements go, if you have a Bachelors of Ed, you\'re golden. If you have a Bachelors of something else, take the 4-part exam on educational knowledge and, even if you fail and have to re-take it, it\'s cheaper than the 60,000 Baht 1 year Professional Certification Course. It\'s only 4,000 Baht each time you take it. I can\'t imagine anyone taking more than two times to pass it. 8,000 baht is a lot less than 60,000! If you don\'t have a college degree, ask the school you are currently at to start writing a letter to ask for The Teachers Council to \"have mercy and give this foreigner a teachers license\".</p>\n<p>I understand that The MOE is tired of having a lot of unqualified teachers teaching Thai children. However as the man said, \"You pay peanuts...you get monkeys!\" I wonder if anyone who makes policy decisions knows how uncompetitive the salary and benefits packages a lot of Thai schools offer are. I think that a high school diploma in combination with a TESL certificate from a reputable TESL school should be enough to teach conversational English. Grammar doesn\'t come into play there and all I need out of a conversational English teacher is a good attitude, a good work ethic and the ability to speak English fluently.</p>\n<p>For English programs, I agree that a teacher should have a degree in the subject they are teaching (or something related) OR a Bachelors of Ed. In my experience, English Program teaching is too detailed and fine subject oriented to have someone without a Bachelors teach well in. That\'s not to say it can\'t be done, but for EPs I agree with The MOE. They are just trying to improve the overall teaching force in their country.</p>\n<p>So go out there, take the 20 hour Thai Culture Course and, if you really love this place and want to stay here, try to get your teachers license through one of the 4 methods. If you can afford the year long Professional Certification Course, (60,000 baht) go for it. It couldn\'t hurt. If not, take the 4 tests for 4,000 Baht and good luck.<br />Finally, if anyone receives their teachers license under these new regulations, could you please write to me and let me know how easy or difficult it was or anything else you feel might be helpful? Then with your permission I\'ll include it in my column for all to read. Hope to hear your opinions, see you next month and may the force be with you!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2008-04-30 19:40:52',1,'2008-04-30 19:40:52','2010-08-25 11:11:53'),(583,14,'Regulations update','regulations-update','Some amendments to last month\'s article','All Teacher’s License applicants must have 1 year of teaching experience, prior to application.

I received many interesting and useful questions, facts, corrections and words of encouragement. Thanks for the support. Also, sorry that this article is coming out so late. Phil was in The U.K. for most of June, so I had to wait for him to get back before I could post it.\n<p>Next, a few updates. Some things I have found out since last month\'s article.</p>\n<p>1) All Teacher\'s License applicants must have 1 year of teaching experience, prior to application. Several readers had emailed me that they heard that it was two years. I got the one year answer from The Teacher\'s Council, just yesterday.</p>\n<p>2) In last month\'s article, I stated that The Filipino Educators In Thailand was putting on an authorized 20 Hour Thai Culture, Language and Professional Ethics Course. This was wrong. It was really put on by The Private Schools Association of Thailand (P.S.A.T.). The Filipino Educators In Thailand were the group doing the P.R. Thanks to Jimmy Lee for the correction!</p>\n<p>3) I have obtained, from The Teacher\'s Council, an updated list (as of June 23rd, 2008) of all of the currently authorized institutions that offer the 20 hour Thai Culture, Language and Professional Ethics Course. You can download the list here. However I received news that there is a 20 hour course being given now, in Chiengmai, by The Private Schools Association of Thailand. That is NOT in the list I received from The TCT. Thanks again Ron!</p>\n<p>4) I also found out that if you attend the year long Graduate Diploma in Teacher Education Course at Assumption University (it costs 60,000 Baht) you can then convert that to a Master\'s of Education, with only one more year of study. This assumes that you possess a Bachelor Degree in something other than Education already. For more information, call the programs\' office at (02) 300 - 4543 - 62, ext. 3727 or 3718.</p>\n<p>5) In my May article I may have led some readers to believe that only people applying for NEW Non-Immigrant Visas (leading to Teachers Licenses and Work Permits) need to go through all of the new licensing procedures. People who already have a Non-Immigrant Visa, and want to renew theirs, also have to do all the same things. Sorry for any misunderstandings. (Thanks to Ron Grant.)</p>\n<p>6) Some readers have told me that when they went to Immigration offices in Chiengmai, Khon Kaen and Prachuab Kiri Khan, the officers didn\'t say ONE word about any of these new requirements, because they didn\'t know or didn\'t care. Maybe those of you who don\'t feel like dealing with the new regs should try taking your documents to remote, provincial Immigration offices? I can imagine, though, they might look askance after a few applicants from Bangkok schools try to do their visas in MaeHongSon or Surat Thani. Good luck, if you try it, and please let us know what happens. (Thanks to Ron Grant.)</p>\n<p>7) There seems to be some confusion in some peoples\' minds about the One Year Graduate Diploma in Teacher Education Course and The 4 Part Teachers\' Council Professional Competency Exam. They are separate issues entirely. You have to take one or the other. You don\'t take the one year course to prepare for the 4 part exam. If you take and pass the one year course, you don\'t need to take the 4 part exam and vice versa. (Thanks to Gordon McEvoy.)</p>\n</p>\n<p>8) Also, as far as I know, there is no \"Study Guide\" for the 4 part exam, not an official one anyway. The best source I\'ve seen so <br />far is the \"TCT Test Takers Club\" on ajarnforum. It is very well run by \"Stamp\" and he and everyone else in it do a great job of organizing info and helping each other prep. Check it out. Also, The Teachers Council changes the format, order and wording of <br />the test questions every time they give the tests. I guess they assume we are trying to pass any way we can, as well they <br />should!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Finally, my subject for this month\'s article. It\'s a very short one, but (I hope) has the potential to accomplish quite a bit. The Secretary General of The Teachers Council of Thailand, Dr. Chakraphat Wata, resigned on Wednesday June 25th and his last day at work was Monday June 30th. A replacement has not assumed his duties yet. However, I have a standing appointment with the new Secretary General of The Teachers Council of Thailand, whoever it ends up being. I intend to very politely, diplomatically and professionally let the new Secretary know that myself and many, many other people involved in the education of Thai people feel that several aspects of the new Teacher Licensing regulations could be better accomplished in different ways. Basically, I\'m going to say that I think many aspects of the new rules are excessive and unnecessary and will make it even harder (if that\'s possible) for Thailand to attract and retain quality foreign teachers and that he MIGHT want to think about revising a few of the rules to reflect a more REALITY based approach. From some of the comments I\'ve received on the ajarn forum, I understand that there are several people that think I should \"be more of a Westerner\", \"be more of a man\" and \"go in there with both guns a-blazin!\", because that is the Western way. Well, to that, I would respond...we are not in the West. We are not in the Wild West either. Although I love Josey Wales, I\'m not a gunfighter. I feel that MUCH more can be achieved by at least TRYING to get change through diplomatic, peaceful means. If that doesn\'t work... I\'ll be the first to admit that all the cynics are right. UNTIL then though, I would like to hear YOUR positive, constructive views. I will not guarantee that I will include everything that people send to me, but if it makes sense and is not too politically dangerous, I\'ll include it when I talk to him.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Some requests though:<br />a. Please keep your emails as short and succinct as possible, for obvious reasons. Clearly state (in an organized, methodical <br />manner) your bits of advice, comments or questions. If I start reading an email and it takes me 30 lines to even get to one idea, <br />I\'ll stop reading it.<br />b. Please do not send me emails cursing, ranting or raving against the government, schools, other people, me or Britney Spears. <br />(Well, Britney is o.k. to rant against.) Let\'s not get personal or unprofessional.<br />c. Please accept my apologies, beforehand, if I do not respond to your email. Last month I received over 600 emails. I tried to <br />respond to everyone, but it\'s not always possible. I do read them all though.</p>\n<p>Sometime in July, probably in the third or fourth week, I will put up the draft of my letter that I intend to give to him. It will go up on ajarn.com. You can read it and, if you choose to do so, \"sign\" your name to it, electronically. If I go into the meeting with this letter of recommendations, observations and questions with an online petition signed by thousands of foreign teachers, it might give us a little more weight. Or he might just let forth with a sinister laugh and release the hounds...it could go either way really. <br />I already have about 11 points to talk to him about and, hopefully, will have even more once I start hearing your ideas. Hope to hear from you on this issue that affects ALL of us in the teaching industry and take care.</p>\n</p>','','2008-06-30 19:48:18',1,'2008-06-30 19:48:18','2009-07-18 09:09:19'),(584,14,'News from the TCT','news-from-the-tct','The latest in the ever changing world of teacher requirements','Thanks for stopping by this month, and reading my article.

The last month has been a busy one for myself and many other teachers I have met. There have been many conferences hosted by The Ministry.\n<p>If you are new to my articles, just a quick overview of what I hope to achieve: basically, I am just trying to be an information clearing house for any and all information that (I feel) might be of some use to anyone teaching in Thailand. If there is a specific issue any of you would like me to look into, let me know. I\'ll do my best to find the info for you and post it here. If I can\'t find out, I\'ll let you know. If there are any questions you have, let me know. I am not an expert in any given field. I am just someone who has several years experience dealing with the academic, administrative, legal, and social aspects of teaching here. Of course, if there are any helpful tidbits of information that you think other people might want to know or could benefit from, I can always put them here for you and everyone else. Not everyone uses, is familiar with, or wants to utilize ajarnforum. So maybe this can be a source of info for the people who don\'t, although I highly recommend the ajarnforum for anyone who is not yet a user. It can be a treasure trove of helpful info, once you become familiar with it, and know how to look for helpful information.</p>\n<p>First off, I\'d like to correct a mistake in my last month\'s article.<br />Last month I wrote that the 1 year Graduate Diploma in Teacher Education at Assumption University (www.education.au.edu/programs.html) costs 60,000 Baht. The correct price (as of August 11th, 2008) is 144,300 Baht. Thanks to many readers, both emailers and on ajarnforum, for pointing that out.</p>\n<p>Also, a poster on ajarnforum sent me an email and told me that those of you who are near Khon Kaen might be able to go to immigration in the airport there. I, like many, always thought that there was no immigration office in Khon Kaen. Apparently, there is one in the airport. Anyway, the principal of his school called Khon Kaen Immigration and asked if they could process one of his teacher\'s visas, so that the teacher would not have to go to another immigration office. It worked for him, see if it works for you.</p>\n<p>Last month, I wrote that I was going to meet The Secretary General of The Teacher\'s Council of Thailand and that I would post an online letter to him, that any one who wished, could sign online. A new President of The TCT has been named, but not yet a new Secretary General. Some contacts of mine in the TCT have told me that a new Sec. Gen. should be in place by mid-September, so myself and a few other concerned private citizens, school owners and/or administrators have an appointment with The President and The Sec. Gen once that person has been named. I don\'t know if it will accomplish much of anything, but we\'ll wait and see. Right now, we\'re in a holding pattern. It\'s not like we\'re trying to solve the Middle East Crisis, I know, but please hang in there; change takes time and happens incrementally.</p>\n<p>After asking those same contacts at The TCT and a few others in The MOE if they thought there might be an adverse reaction to me posting an online open letter (petition) to The TCT, they replied that, yes, there might be. They reminded me of the website \"Thai School Watch\" and how it was basically shut down due to extreme displeasure (on the part of many high-up people at The MOE) concerning many things written there. So in an effort to spare ajarn.com any (potential) animosity or friction from The TCT or The MOE, I decided NOT to publish the online letter. However, if there are any of you who would like a copy of the document I intend to use in my meeting with them, email me and I will be more than happy to send you a copy. You can then add any ideas of your own to it, if you like, even adding your name if you wish.</p>\n<p>I received several emails asking if I know when the next 4-part TCT test is going to take place. The tests are going to be held on Saturday October 3rd and Sunday October 4th, 2008. You can register, online, from August 14th until September 4th. You can also register in person at The Teacher\'s Council. Go to foreprof.ksp.or.th/index.asp and click on the blue link, at the bottom, that says \"Click Here\". For those of you who do not meet the official qualifications required by The TCT, there is a \"Temporary Permission To Teach Without A Teacher\'s License\" that you can get. In Thai it is called a \"Bai Pawn Pun\".</p>\n<p>It will explain, to them, what they need to type and who they need to send it to. Depending on whom you ask, they are either very strict in handing them out or are giving them out like candy, down at The TCT. The Principal of your school needs to sign an official letter, asking The TCT to issue you one. Maybe it will work, maybe not. Good luck. Also on the subject of people who don\'t meet the official criterion, I received a few emails from people which went something like this (I\'m paraphrasing here)...</p>\n<p><strong>\"Dear Jason,<br />My name is _______ and I have been teaching in Thailand for 12 years. I have a Bachelors in \"Something Other Than Education\" and a TEFL Cert. from _________ and a PGCE from _____________. Can I qualify as someone with a Bachelor in Ed. (due to my extensive experience and other quals.) and bypass all of these rules?\"</strong></p>\n<p>I called The TCT and read a few examples to them. They said that, basically, if any teacher does not meet the strict, official requirements but feels that they might have other qualifications that should entitle them to a teacher\'s license, they need to go to The TCT themselves. So, if you are one of these teachers, take ALL of your paperwork, qualifications, etc. to The TCT and state your case. Be sure to take originals and copies of all documents. If they agree with you, they\'ll issue you a teaching license. They said that, like everything else in Thailand, the rules are not \"set in stone\". They can be bent a little on a case by case basis if the TCT thinks you qualify.</p>\n<p>One place that might help some of you is The Ramkamhaeng University International Program. They have both a Teacher\'s Professional Licensing Course and a Masters Degree in Education, both in English. You can check out the details at www.iis.ru.ac.th/English_Program/Teacher_Qualification/teacher_qualification.htm I also had a few questions about correct, legal rates of taxation. For example, I had one email from a Filipino teacher in which she told me that her pre-tax monthly salary is 30,000 and her employing school takes out 15,000 Baht per month in taxes. Obviously, she\'s getting robbed. I have included, as an attachment, the correct, legal income tax deduction rates below. If you download the English version, you only need to pay attention the two columns on the left, in light blue. If you download the full, original, Thai version, there will be a lot more helpful info that I just don\'t have the time to translate for you. Sorry. Please keep in mind that all of these deductions DO NOT take into account any allowable deductions like child rearing costs, costs of caring for a senior citizen, life insurance/providence fund profit dividend deductions, etc. The figures are based ONLY on salary alone. Hope it helps. My sources are my own licensed accountant and The Royal Thai Office of Revenue and Taxation. The info should be correct as of 8/11/08.</p>\n<p>Finally, I would like to tell everyone about one of the departments in The Ministry of Education that (I think) are doing a great job with few resources. Their name is The English Language Institute (E.L.I.) They are responsible for all English language instruction, in public schools, at the primary and secondary levels. They were only given this responsibility a year and a half ago and only have a staff of 17 people! Think about trying to improve all English language instruction, from 1st through 12th grade, nationwide, with 17 people. (This includes all conversational English in normal Thai curriculums AND English Programs.) In the last month alone they have organized two academic conferences to help foreign teachers in Thailand. The first one was in late July. It brought together many teachers and administrators from The Central Region to help revise and improve the National Curriculum. The current National Curriculum has already been re-written and is in the process of being translated into English. If all goes according to plan it will be in public schools in 2010 or sooner. This way foreign teachers can finally have an English language National Curriculum to use in writing their lesson plans, course descriptions, and to know what they do or do not have to teach.</p>\n<p>The second conference just ended yesterday. It was all about various teaching methodologies and theories, especially for TESL and TEFL. Many of us who have been teaching and/or administrating for many years were already aware of many of the concepts. But many teachers there were new to teaching and new to Thailand so it helped them. At least The ELI is trying to improve things for us and them. I can remember when I first entered a Thai public high school as an exchange student in 1986. I asked if any of the curriculum or lesson plans were in English. (My Mom, a teacher, wanted to see some of them.) The Principal of the school literally laughed out loud. I think it\'s hard for many of us sometimes to remain optimistic in the face of the daily struggles we face in teaching here but there ARE people at The Ministry who know of our problems and ARE trying to fix them. I think we should all give them some time. Whatever rules or regulations The TCT have come up with have NOTHING to do with The ELI. How well they can or cannot fix the problems remains to be seen. But I choose to be optimistic. I think we should give them some time. They\'ve only had a year and a half. Don\'t forget that every time the government changes, most of the policies change as well.</p>\n</p>','','2008-06-30 19:52:47',1,'2008-06-30 19:52:47','2009-07-18 09:09:48'),(585,14,'Good news for teachers','good-news-for-teachers','At last a glimmer of hope','The important news this month is that foreigners who wish to continue teaching in Thailand can now do so, even if they are not yet qualified.

The important news is that foreigners who wish to continue teaching in Thailand can now do so, even if they are not yet qualified. Read on.</p>\n<p>I finally (Monday August 25th) met with the Assistant to the Secretary General of The Teacher\'s Council of Thailand. As of the writing of this article there is still no new Secretary General. She took me to meet the Director of Teacher Licensing of T.C.T., the Director of Teacher Professional Standards of The T.C.T. and The Director of Teacher Professional Qualifications Transfer and Accreditation. Everyone was incredibly helpful and open. I thought I would just be ignored and they would ask me to leave my documents and that they would \"get back to me\". I would like to thank her again for being (probably) the most open, nice and helpful government worker I\'ve ever met here!</p>\n<p>She and the other three officers I talked with at The T.C.T. asked me to NOT use their names, as they are government officials and they, like most other government officials I\'ve met in any country, are not eager to take a definitive stance on anything for obvious reasons. Of course, anyone who REALLY wanted to could figure out who they are merely by their positions but who would want to waste their time doing that? That being said, it is (obviously) up to you as to whether or not you want to believe what they told me. Long term residents know that T.I.T. (This Is Thailand) and things here are usually \"fluid\", for better or for worse. <br />I have dealt with several M.O.E. officials at the local, provincial and national levels on many issues over the years and they have (almost) always been helpful and honest in their dealings with me and I have rarely been disappointed by them.</p>\n<p>So... here we go:</p>\n<p>On the subject of teacher licensing, the information I was given is:</p>\n<p>\"If a foreign teacher has a Temporary Permit To Teach Without A Teacher\'s License (ใบผ่อนผัน) and it has reached it\'s two year expiration date, IF that foreign teacher can prove that they are showing good faith and continuously working towards meeting the licensing requirements, The T.C.T. will then issue another Temporary Permit To Teach Without A Teacher\'s License, to allow said teacher enough time to successfully meet the requirements for professional licensing of a teacher set by T.C.T.\" (ใบผ่อนผัน)</p>\n<p>So, if a foreign teacher is...<br />A) Trying to finish a Bachelor Degree (Ed. or Non Ed.)<br />B) Trying to finish a One Year Graduate Diploma in Teacher Profession<br />C) Trying to finish a Masters in Education</p>\n<p>Or</p>\n<p>D) Trying to pass all 4 T.C.T. Exams (In lieu of an Ed. degree)<br />and they still have not been able to complete A, B, C or D above, The T.C.T. will ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TEACHING LEGALLY (i.e. get a new visa and work permit!) as long as they have the paperwork to prove that they really are trying become qualified, one way or another. If you are showing good faith, they won\'t cut you off.</p>\n<p>This pretty much means that anyone who sincerely wants to stay and teach in Thailand can do just that!</p>\n<p>I can hear some of you saying things like \"O.K., but who wants to spend the time and money to finish a bachelor or master degree, so I can make 35,000 a month when I\'m done?!\" I hear you. Decision time.</p>\n<p>P.S. You STILL have to do the 20 Hour Thai Culture, Language and Professional Ethics Course. No getting around it unfortunately. No testing out of it either.

The foreign teacher is left to deal with all of the linguistic and cultural misunderstandings that will inevitably arise, on their own.','<p>The reasons I started writing this article were to, hopefully, try to improve the overall image of teacher agencies a bit and to disseminate helpful information for teachers. I realize that the overall image of teacher agencies in Thailand is somewhere slightly above personal accident attorneys, whether deservedly or not. I understand why this is and I don\'t blame many foreign teachers in Thailand for having these negative opinions. I just want people to know that not all teacher agencies are run by inept, uncaring, money grabbing people who don\'t know what they are doing. There are good agencies out there, run by good people. They, unfortunately, usually don\'t get any good press or publicity. Anyway, what are the reasons for this poor image? The following reasons are (of course) only my personal opinions, based upon experience from when I used to work for teacher agencies, before I opened up my own school/teacher agency:\n<p>1) Most agencies just drop foreign teachers off at a school and leave them to fend for themselves. They give teachers no curriculum, lesson plans, grading rubrics, textbooks, workbooks, realia or anything else to help them. The foreign teacher is left to deal with all of the linguistic and cultural misunderstandings that will inevitably arise, on their own. Of course, there are misunderstandings, bad feelings and disagreements between the foreign and Thai staff. With no one there to mediate and help each side (hopefully) see the other sides\' point of view, things often deteriorate into a work environment that no one wants to be in. Then the rep from the agency comes around, at the end of the month, with their hand out for their monthly fee. <br />Some agencies have a site manager at all of their client schools who coordinates with the teachers, the Head of The Foreign Language Department, Head of E.P. and/or The Vice Principal for Academic Affairs. They all, together, come up with all of the necessary support documentation, books, realia and anything else that is needed for the teachers to do their jobs. It\'s not a perfect system, but at least the teachers who work with them have someone there to run interference for them and try to give them all the support they need.</p>\n<p>Off the top of my head, I can only think of two or three teacher agencies who do this. I\'m sure there are probably more, but I don\'t know of them. I often find it crazy that anyone would think that they could offer a quality service by just hiring any farang who comes their way, performing no reference or background checks, dropping them off at a school and then coming back once a month to collect their fee. Those same agency reps are usually surprised when the school does not renew their contracts.</p>\n<p>2) Most agencies are concerned with only one thing, keeping the contract with the school. They will pander to the school, no matter how unfair, illegal or ridiculous a request the school makes of the foreign teachers. They tend to hire and fire at their whim.</p>\n<p>When I was still working for an agency, one of the Thai teachers asked my boss to tell me to wear only blue shirts from now on, because she thought blue was \"the best color for farangs to wear\". I refused to do this and the agency fired me. I didn\'t bother to sue, even though I could have, as that was blatantly illegal. It would have cost me more in legal fees than I could have won.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, I\'m no saint. I run a business and I am also interested in keeping the contract with my client schools. But never at the expense of the teachers who work with me. I have told client schools many times that I would not even try to force my teachers to do something which I thought was unfair, illegal or demeaning. I even lost a very lucrative contract with one of the schools because I refused to budge on an issue that I felt was ridiculous. I just transferred those teachers to another client school which was much more reasonable in its\' requests.</p>\n<p>I think that that most Thais who run teacher agencies either don\'t know what is considered acceptable business and interpersonal behavior in Western culture or just don\'t care. They usually are ignorant to the detriment of the agencies they work for. After the teachers, the site manager is the second most important person in this situation. If the agency has a competent, smart, culturally aware, diplomatic and responsible site manager, they will stay at a school for a long time. If the site manager is someone that no one wants to work with and/or doesn\'t know what they are doing, everything falls apart. There are, however, many very decent, fair and professional Thais running teacher agencies that I\'ve met.</p>\n<p>3) Most teacher agencies refuse to assist teachers with getting visas and/or work permits, forcing them to work illegally. This is, I think, because the Thai government changes the rules and regs every time we turn around. I have lived in 3 countries and visited many more and I have never seen anywhere else on Earth that has such nonsensical, convoluted, strange immigration and labor laws as this place. I don\'t blame agencies for not wanting to do it. Hell, my wife and I don\'t WANT to do it! Who would? But we do it and so should all other agencies. Nobody I know wants to work illegally, never knowing if they\'re going to be caught up in some snap Labor Department raid or something equally dramatic. It makes for a very stressful work environment.</p>\n<p>4) Most teacher agencies have histories of paying late very often. No one likes this. I remember a few times that I was paid late and I always raised hell and annoyed my bosses at the agencies. We all have bills to pay. It is, in my opinion, the height of unproffessionalism to pay your employees late. There\'s no excuse.</p>\n<p>5) Most teacher agencies make a lot of false promises and give wrong or incorrect information from the very beginning to potential hires. \"You don\'t need a visa to work for us\", \"You will need to pay 20 percent taxes on your salary\", \"All the class rooms have air conditioning\", \"You DON\'T have to stand at the front gate or do the morning flag ceremony\", etc, etc, etc. are a few that come readily to mind.</p>\n<p>Most potential hires I\'ve met have told me that they appreciate being told everything \"warts and all\" up front and find it refreshingly different from other agencies when they are told. It\'s not smart to lie in the beginning anyway. The teacher is going to find out sooner or later what the reality is. But if they know up front what they should and should not expect, they\'ll probably stay longer and we all know it\'s easier to help a long time employee adjust/adapt/improve than to train a new employee. Also, most teachers I know would rather find a place they like to work and stay there a long time than to have to move around a lot.</p>\n<p>That\'s it for this month. If any of you readers have any other reasons that I missed, please let me know! Thanks and have fun teaching.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2008-09-30 20:10:29',1,'2008-09-30 20:10:29','2009-07-18 10:10:30'),(587,14,'The flipside of teacher agencies','the-flipside-of-teacher-agencies','Reasons that a teacher agency could be good for some teachers','Teacher agencies are just like people. Some are fun to be with and some you just wanna kick to the curb. Shop around, ask around. Check to see if the agency you are thinking of working with actually possesses a valid license from The Ministry of Education, many do not. Remember to keep an open mind and not to be too quick to judge though. ','<p>Last month I wrote about some of the bad practices that some teacher agencies engage in and why those practices have given some agencies a bad rep. This month I\'d like to write about some of the reasons that a teacher agency could be good for some teachers.\n<p>First off, let me divide foreign teachers in Thailand into four general groups, based upon my experience, as a teacher agent:</p>\n<p>Group 1: \'Newbies\' or teachers who have not been here very long. The teachers in this group usually have little or no knowledge of current immigration, labor or teacher licensing rules and regulations. They usually can\'t speak, read or write any Thai and, consequently, don\'t have a very deep understanding of Thai people, their culture or their way of life. Because of this lack of cultural understanding, they often (unintentionally) piss off or offend the Thais they work with and could definitely be helped by having someone who knows how to work harmoniously with Thais by whispering in their ear.</p>\n<p>Group 2: Teachers who been here for a long time. They usually speak, read and/or write some Thai, or are able to do so fluently. They have a deep knowledge of immigration, labor or teacher licensing rules and regulations and they also understand Thai people, their culture and their way of life - especially how to work harmoniously with Thais.</p>\n<p>Group 3: Teachers who may be new or may have been here for a long time, but do not have the paper qualifications to enable them to get their own non-immigrant visa, work permit and/or teacher license. Also in this group are teachers who have been here a long time, may be perfectly qualified, but don\'t feel like going through the hassle of doing all of the paperwork themselves and would rather have someone else do it. They have probably had negative past experiences at some school, with some poor, hapless teacher who has been tasked with the unwelcome job of getting all of the foreign teaching staff their visas and work permits. This is a task that usually causes many of them to break down in tears, give up in frustration or pick up the nearest chainsaw. My wife and I have been getting visa and work permits for teachers for 6 years now and we\'ve got it down to a science.</p>\n<p>Group 4: Teachers in this group may have a variety of qualification and experience levels. The one thing they all have in common is that they are only too happy to tell anyone who will listen how much they despise everything Thai. \"Thais are stupid\", \"I can\'t be bothered to learn Thai. It\'s beneath me!\", \"All Thai teachers and/or administrators are idiots!\" are some of the gems we frequently hear from these types. I avoid these teachers like the plague. Not only are they annoying and bad for morale, they should not even waste their time, or mine, by trying to work with Thais. Nothing good can come of it. If I let them talk enough in the initial interview they always show their true colors.</p>\n<p>I currently have teachers working with me from groups 1 through 3. All of them have their own unique and detailed reasons that they work with me instead of going it alone. I think, obviously, the two groups that can benefit the most from working for an agency are those in Groups 1 and 3. Teachers in group 2 usually sign a contract directly with a school, as well they should.</p>\n<p>Some of the reasons that teacher agencies might be a good fit for some foreign teachers are as follows:</p>\n<p>1) In my case, I know the Immigration, Labor and Teacher License rules and regulations front to back. I do whatever I have to do to get Non-Immigrant Visa and Work Permits for my teachers who depend on me for just such help. I have people I have known for a long time at Immigration, The Teachers Council and The Labor Department in Pathumthani Province (where all of my client schools are located). In short, I\'ve already spent the time and money to have the experience and personal connections to easily get my agency properly licensed and to get Non-Imm Visa and Work Permits for the people who work with me. As far as Teachers Licenses are concerned, it\'s no longer the responsibility of the employer to get one for the employee. I will, however, assist any of my qualified teachers in getting one in any way I can. This is something that very few newbies could ever do and few long term teachers can do alone. In other words, the agency goes to bat for the teacher to get that teacher whatever that teacher needs. This can be very comforting for some teachers when faced with the confusing rules and regulations that govern our lives here in L.O.S.</p>\n<p>2) Some agencies already have a set curriculum and lesson plan in place for their teachers, eliminating (or, at the very least, lessening) the amount of lesson plan writing and re-writing that is such a chronic annoyance in many Thai schools.</p>\n<p>3) The agency rep has the potential to be a very good buffer between the foreign teaching staff and the Thai school administration, if and when necessary. I get paid to deal with the small, annoying, day to day administrative B.S. that most of the teachers who work with me never even become aware of. Without an agency rep, each foreign teacher has to deal with the Thai administration from big issues such as the curriculum, lesson plans and days off to small issues such as what color shirts to wear on which days, why a certain foreign teacher always forgets to flush the toilet after doing his business (I\'m not making that up!) or why a certain foreign teacher didn\'t bring any kanom back for everyone else after his trip to Chiengmai. Would YOU want to deal with this stuff, day in and day out?</p>\n<p>4) Working for an agency has the potential to allow access to other foreign co-workers on a daily basis. This may or may not appeal to some of you out there. I had one guy who used to work with me from Belgium. He had a Bachelor of Education and spoke Thai well. He went it alone for eight years before he came to work with me. He seemed very overqualified and I told him as much during our first meeting. He said he was tired of being the lone farang in a staff of Thai people and having no one to talk to about \"Western stuff\". He got along just fine with the Thai staff at his old school, but missed the ability to talk F.A. Cup news, and other stuff from home, with someone who would know what he was talking about. Some of us are more social animals than others.</p>\n<p>5) If you work for a good agency, that agency will have plenty of cash reserves to ensure that no one ever gets paid late. I can\'t remember the last time I paid my teachers their salaries later than the first or second of the month.</p>\n<p>So if you\'re new to Thailand, or considering coming, a teacher agency might be a good place to do your first year with. Once you\'ve got your \"Thailand Legs\" underneath you and you know what\'s what, go it on your own if you prefer. That\'s what I did when I started here many years ago.</p>\n<p>Teacher agencies are just like people. Some are fun to be with and some you just wanna kick to the curb. Shop around, ask around. Check to see if the agency you are thinking of working with actually possesses a valid license from The Ministry of Education, many do not. Remember to keep an open mind and not to be too quick to judge though. Most of the horror stories I\'ve heard about agencies have been pretty unbelievable and (usually) one sided.</p>\n<p>Good luck to everyone and see ya next month.</p>\n</p>','','2008-10-31 20:14:31',1,'2008-10-31 20:14:31','2009-07-18 10:10:32');

Instead of telling you about of some of the more “interesting” interviews I have conducted, I thought I would write about what types of behavior and teachers schools and agencies here want and do NOT want.','<p>\n<p>After reading Phil\'s hilarious \"Crazy Interviewees\" article last month, I got to thinking about some of my past employees, good and bad. Instead of telling you about of some of the more \"interesting\" interviews I have conducted, I thought I would write about what types of behavior and teachers schools and agencies here want and do NOT want.<br />The following illustrations are based upon actual past employees. I will not use any names or personal details because us Westerners like to sue at the drop of a hat and I have better things to do with my time and money. <br />Rules of what NOT to do and how NOT to behave:</p>\n<p><strong>1) Do not be late to work every single day or often.</strong><br />I had one gentleman from a certain Northern European nation who was late to work every single day for the 3 months of his probationary period. He had rented an apartment a 5-minute walk away from the school and he was STILL late. When I gave him a letter telling him he had not passed his probationary period, he was flabbergasted. I don\'t know why.</p>\n<p><strong>2) Realize who you do and do not work for.</strong> <br />Some teachers I have had (almost always the ones who have been here a few years or Thai employees) like to play political games. By this I mean they ingratiate themselves with the Thai Department Head, Vice Principal, Principal etc. Then, when I tell them something like \"We all have to wear black next Tuesday because Victor Borgia\'s granddaughter passed away\" they usually respond with something like \"Well, Ajarn so-and-so said we don\'t have to.\" They may be right. So I check with Ajarn so-and-so and they (usually) tell me that either they never said that or that they would really prefer that everyone wear black but they were \"just being nice\" when they told that teacher he didn\'t have to. If Ajarn so-and-so actually said that, no problem, don\'t wear black. Believe it or not, SOMETIMES a Thai person will look you in the eye, tell you that something is o.k., then complain and criticize behind your back when you do what they said was o.k. to do! I know, it\'s hard to believe (tongue in cheek smirk now which you can\'t see) but it CAN happen.</p>\n<p>When I go back and tell them this, the immature, unprofessional whining begins. I tell them that they work for me, NOT Ajarn so-and-so and then I usually issue a memorandum to all of my teachers, which they must sign. Then, if that teacher comes to work on Tuesday wearing anything but black, I give that teacher a written warning. Some people might think that makes me a cruel, heartless boss. I think it makes me an adult who expects all of my employees to act like adults, not silly little children. (But I don\'t waaaaaant to!!)</p>\n<p><strong>3) NEVER criticize or complain about ANYTHING Thai within earshot of any Thai coworkers.</strong><br />I\'ve been working with Thais since 1986. I can count on the fingers of two hands the number of Thai people I have known who can accept constructive criticism or even well-intentioned advice, even when they know the advice is good advice. There is NO more surefire way to get terminated than to start a \"Thai people this\" and \"Thai people that\" bitchfest. Even if you\'re right, they don\'t want to hear it. One lady, just off the boat from Massachusetts, who I terminated for this reason just couldn\'t understand what the big deal was. I asked her \"If a Thai teacher moved to Massachusetts, started working in a public school, and started saying things like \"Well, in Thailand we would NEVER do things THIS way\" or \"American people are SOOO stupid when it comes to...\" or other such heartfelt, endearing sentiments, how do you think that Thai teacher\'s American co-workers would react?\"<br />Common sense can be a good friend.</p>\n<p><strong>4) When you are asked to do something, no matter HOW much you disagree with it, be an adult and just do it.</strong><br />In my experience, somewhere between 90 to 100 percent of all of the boneheaded orders we receive come from The MOE to The District Ed. Office, to The Principal, to the Department Head, to you. I can\'t remember how many times I\'ve been asked to do something I thought was silly, pointless and often counterproductive. But I smile and say \"O.k., no problem.\" This is Thailand. It belongs to the Thais. Whether they want to improve it or screw it up is up to them, not you. You are not here to change Thai society, culture or traditions. Even if you were, you couldn\'t do it. Complaining incessantly about some work you have to do or refusing to do it because you don\'t think it makes any sense may make you look like James Dean for five minutes to your Western co-workers but remember...James Dean died. In The U.K., The U.S.A. and every other country I\'m familiar with, orders are orders are orders, no matter HOW we feel about them. Just grin and bear it and do what you\'re asked to do.</p>\n<p>Also, there\'s no point in any of us constantly comparing Thailand with The U.S., The U.K., The Phillipines or wherever else it is we\'re from. You\'re not back there, you\'re in Thailand. You\'re only going to make yourself and anyone who has to listen to you miserable and stressed out. There is a clause in current Thai Labor Law that says (I\'m paraphrasing here) \"An employee must comply with any reasonable, work related request. If employee refuses to comply in a well documented manner, said refusal is adequate grounds for termination.\" Makes sense in any country, you ask me. If your boss asks you to wash his car at 10 p.m. on a Friday night, you can obviously refuse, but good luck convincing a Labor Court Judge that you have the legal right to refuse to hand in your grades, in an organized manner, in a timely fashion. Again, common sense can be a good friend.</p>\n<p><strong>5) Do not come to work smelling of alcohol, Marijuana or any other controlled, mind altering substances.</strong><br />DUH! I had one young British guy who was fond of cannabis. I really don\'t care what anyone does when they\'re not at work. It\'s none of my business. The second you walk through the school gate though, it\'s your boss\' business. The school he was at had set up a smoking area in the back of the school for the smokers. I told him on his first day on the job that the window above this area was The Principal\'s office and it was usually open because The Principal didn\'t like A.C. and was a smoker himself. So what did this guy do? He sat at the table, under the window to The Principal\'s office and burned a fatty! Wow!! He was terminated that day and had the stupidity to hire a lawyer to sue me for wrongful termination. The guys contention was \"Jason told me that The Principal was a smoker.\" He actually thought I meant that The Principal was a pot smoker and that that would The Principal wouldn\'t care! When his lawyer heard all the details, he told his client to forget about it and walk away, lest he end up in Bang Kwang. Good advice.</p>\n<p><strong>6) Do not have intimate relations with any of your students.</strong><br />DUH again!! I had another young Brit (I don\'t mean to imply here that there are any problems with Brits. There aren\'t, it\'s just the luck of the draw. I\'ll get to some bad Americans soon enough, don\'t fret) This young, very handsome teacher was spotted by no less than 7 Thai teachers and 15 Thai students walking hand-in-hand with a Mattayom 5 girl from the school he worked at. She was still in her school uniform! Instant termination. There\'s another clause in current Thai Labor Law that says \"If any employee acts in a manner that causes serious damage to the reputation or property of their employer, said employee may be terminated immediately, with no legal penalty to the employer.\" A perfect example of the truth of this is a case that my labor lawyer was working on when I first met him. He was representing a man who had been a Senior Vice President for Siam Commercial Bank for 12 years. He, apparently, had a fondness for after hours gambling. One night he was in a gambling den in Chinatown which was raided by the police. He made the front page of several newspapers, both Thai and English, with his name and his position at Siam Commercial Bank clearly printed. He was fired the next day. When the case went to court, the Judge awarded nothing to him and found in favor of Siam Commercial Bank. This was because he \"caused serious damage to the reputation\" of his employer. I\'m not sure if I agree with that decision or not, but (according to my lawyer) that\'s the way that most of these cases go.</p>\n<p><strong>7) Don\'t beat, physically assault or throw things at your students.</strong><br />Common sense? I had one Physical Education teacher who forced his students to run around the football pitch and do push-ups until they vomited. Then he poured water on their heads and made them run again! He would shoot spitballs at the student he didn\'t like. He was proud of this. He said \"When I went to school, the teachers would beat me incessantly and it turned me into the strong man I am today. I\'m grateful to them!\" (I\'ll give you one guess which nation he was from) I told him \"Well, thanks for that insightful statement. Now I understand why you are the way you are BUT it is illegal to do things like that in Thailand.\"</p>\n<p><strong>8) Don\'t do just the absolute minimum. Don\'t be lazy.</strong><br />Just because you\'ve been given a detailed job description doesn\'t mean that you ONLY have to do what\'s on the list. If you see that someone needs help or that something needs done, do it. It will help build up goodwill with your coworkers, your boss and everyone else who sees it. Which leads me to...</p>\n<p><strong>9) Never forget that image is, perhaps, THE most important thing in Thailand. <br /></strong>See numbers 1 thru 8. I once knew an American guy who was going around passing himself off as a holder of a PhD, calling himself \"Doctor\". He walked the walk and he talked the talk. He came into work dressed in a suit and tie, his paperwork was fastidious, he got along with everyone and even remembered to buy cookies, cakes and other nonesuch for all of the Thai teachers in The Foreign Language Department. If you look respectable you will receive respect. If your clothes look like you bought them second hand in \'Indiatown\' and they have stains and rips, you will receive no respect. When it was discovered that he did not even possess a Bachelor Degree, the school decided to keep him. Why? Because they liked him, plain and simple. He was nice, he got along with everyone, so they let him stay. The fact that he was a good teacher helped, but wasn\'t (necessarily) the main point. I don\'t care if you have a (legitimate) PhD from Harvard, if you have a bad image, you won\'t last.</p>\n<p><strong>10) If you get caught doing something wrong, don\'t fight or hem and haw, just take it like a grown-up and move on.</strong> <br />I knew another American guy who also was passing himself off with a fake degree, this time from one of those well-known, online diploma mills; however I didn\'t realise it was an online diploma mill at the time. After I told him I discovered this fact, instead of just saying \"Oh well, you got me. Thanks for the opportunity and I\'ll be going now\" he made a huge scene, stormed into the Principal\'s office and generally threatened to sue everybody but Santa Claus. In the end, of course, he went. However, if he would have just gone quietly, he could have gotten more jobs. By acting in such an unprofessional manner, he angered the Principal - and the Principal sent his name to The Central Region English Program Center, where he was officially listed as an \"undesirable hire\". Since then I haven\'t heard anything about him in teaching circles.</p>\n<p><strong>11) Don\'t deviate from the lesson plan.</strong> <br />If you\'ve been given a lesson plan, stick to it. There are usually many reasons that an existing lesson plan is in place. Some are academic, some may be political, some may be financial. Whether you agree with them or not is, for the most part, irrelevant. In subjects where you meet the students many times per week (E.P. English, for example, meets 4-6 times a week, depending on the school.) it\'s easier to improvise. As long as you cover the basic material in the lesson plan, and you have extra time left, add supplemental material. No problem. However, I am sooooo tired of teachers not teaching anything in the lesson plan they are given and then acting like I am The Son of Satan when I ask them why not or DARE to give them a written warning. Their typical responses are along the lines of \"I just don\'t like it, man\", \"It\'s a horrible lesson plan\" or some other such pearl of wisdom. Cry me a river. Just do your job.</p>\n<p><strong>12) Don\'t forget that most of the Thai people you work with are (probably) jealous of your higher salary and lighter work load from day one and act accordingly.</strong> <br />The average Thai teacher, working in a government school, teaches 18 to 20 periods per week, has to take care of all homeroom responsibilities for one homeroom, maybe two, do the morning flag ceremony, stand at the front gate at least once a week, stay overnight in the school at least once a month as free security and usually has to do extra administrative function(s) as well. The Head of the Foreign Language Department at one school I know has been there 12 years, has a Master\'s in English and makes 25,000 Baht a month. That\'s pretty typical. So when (some) foreigners come breezing in with no or little qualifications (comparatively), teach much less, have almost no extra responsibilities and STILL piss and moan all day, believe me, none of the Thai teachers feel any sympathy. Emotional reactions to this statement aside, an intelligent foreigner understands this and can use it to their advantage by NOT being one of those complaining foreigners. I\'m sure I\'ll get some negative comments for number 12 but that\'s o.k. It\'s still true. Any foreigner who has lived here a while knows this - if they\'re smart. Like it or hate it, this salary jealousy, as petty as it is, isn\'t going away anytime soon. Sometimes, if you\'re lucky, you get to work with open-minded, well-traveled, understanding Thai co-workers who get that our lives aren\'t all wine and roses...sometimes.</p>\n<p>Neither I nor any administrator I know wants to fire a good teacher! Good teachers are so incredibly difficult to find these days. The only reason I would ever fire a good teacher is if they were so seriously deficient in some other area of their professional responsibility that I just didn\'t dare keep them anymore. Thailand CAN be a wonderful place to live and work, if you adjust to it. No matter where you are in the world and no matter what you do, those who don\'t bend usually break...laws of physics and whatnot. You can\'t expect everyone to be tolerant and keep an open mind, but you can do it.</p>\n<p>So, if you\'re a good teacher, you dress well, you get along with your coworkers and you\'re not lazy, you can have a job forever in Thailand. How YOU adjust to Thailand is up to YOU. If, after reading this month\'s article, you haven\'t yet booked your flight out of the country -good luck and have fun teaching!</p>\n</p>','','2008-11-30 20:20:51',1,'2008-11-30 20:20:51','2009-07-18 10:10:52'),(589,14,'Doing it yourself','doing-it-yourself','What it takes to start your very own language school','For the first two years we actually lived in our school. This was tiring and annoying, but saved us a lot of money, obviously. Our monthly mortgage was only 6,600 baht, for which we got a house AND a school! The drawbacks to this sort of arrangement are that we had to pull out our bedrolls after the school was closed down','<p>I often get asked \"What\'s involved in opening up your own language school?\" So, this month, I thought I\'d write down some of the basic steps for anyone who might be interested. Here goes...\n<p><strong>Step 1: Acquiring a storefront...</strong></p>\n<p>You can own or rent this space, it doesn\'t matter. When I first started my school, my wife and I were living in a 3 bedroom, two story townhouse in a village in the Klong 3 area of Rangsit, Pathumthani. All 3 of the bedrooms were pretty small. <br />We went to the local E.S.A. (Educational Service Area) that holds jurisdiction over our area and asked them what we need to do. They gave us a stack of documents you could choke a horse with, laughed and wished us good luck. Included in the many other bits of info they gave us were exact details of the dimensions needed to open up a private language school. <br />We needed at least one \"large\" classroom and one \"small\" classroom. The large classroom had to be at least 2 by 5 meters. So we knocked out a wall between 2 bedrooms and we had our large classroom. The 3rd bedroom was fine for the \"small\" classroom, which only had to be 1.5 by 2 meters.</p>\n<p>We needed one Mens Room and one Ladies Room. So we just made the downstairs bathroom \"Ladies\" and the upstairs \"Mens\". <br />We needed a \"Reception Desk\" with an attendant \"Waiting Area\" with seating for at least 6 people. We just bought an L-shaped desk at Office Depot (4,500 Baht), a sofa for 4 people and 4 loose chairs (8,000 Baht), all of them in a matching set. We needed a \"Break Area\" for our teachers, which was our dining room table and the \"Coffee Area\" was in our kitchen.</p>\n<p>For the first two years we actually lived in our school. This was tiring and annoying, but saved us a lot of money, obviously. Our monthly mortgage was only 6,600 baht, for which we got a house AND a school! The drawbacks to this sort of arrangement are that we had to pull out our bedrolls after the school was closed down, put them away before the school opened, and we had to make sure that the bathrooms were clean and dry before the school opened up and we had to, in general, make sure that our \"house\" was fastidiously clean at all times, so that we could convert it into our \"school\" at a moment\'s notice if necessary. There is nothing (that I know of) that prohibits any of you from doing something similar, as far as zoning or laws are concerned. This is, after all, Thailand! If you can afford to have your business and living areas separate, please do. One friend of mine has a commercial storefront that has 4 stories. He lives on the 4th floor and the lower three floors are his school. I think that is probably the best way to do it. What a short commute!</p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Feeding the paperwork beast...</strong></p>\n<p>a) You\'ll have to provide detailed architectural plans of every square inch of your prospective school\'s property, both the interior and exterior. Those plans will have to be \"signed off\" on by a licensed Engineer or Architect. This can sometimes be free, it can sometimes cost between 10,000 and 20,000 Baht for a \"signing fee\", depending on your circumstances. For example, ours were signed free by the Lead Engineer of the village we bought our townhouse in. My friend I mentioned earlier though had to pay a Licensed Engineer 20,000 Baht to sign off on the plans of the commercial building he rented, because \"the plans were lost in a fire\". (According to the building owner.)</p>\n<p>b) You will have to provide detailed paperwork attesting to the qualifications of the school\'s license holder. For example, my wife has a Bachelor Degree in Finance and Banking from Dhurakijpundit University, In Bangkok. How does that qualify her to own an English language school? It doesn\'t. However, the 12 years she was Head of Conferences and Special Events for The Queens Park Hotel does qualify her, according to Pathumthani E.S.A. 1. They felt that the fact that she had to speak, read and write English every day, in her professional capacity, was enough to qualify her to own a private English language school. Obviously it\'s easier to get a license holder qualified if their qualifications have something to do with the type of school you want to open up. My wife is the License Holder, General Manager and Founder of The American English Language School. I am the Head Teacher.</p>\n<p>c) You will have to get the curriculum approved. There is a standard English language curriculum written by 3 party animals named Lert, Pinyo and Chaweng. I think it was written sometime in the 14th century B.C. It is chock full of useful exercises such as \"Pardon me kind sir, is this the Paddington Station?\" or \"Excuse me my lady, might I inquire as to where I could find a reasonably spot on shop at which to have my Bowler steamed?\" That is \"officially\" the curriculum of my school. I can\'t remember ever having used it to teach. It looks very pretty on my bookshelf though, where the MOE inspectors see it when they come. I like the Cutting Edge and Opportunities textbook series, by Longman. I find them ideal from Mattayom 1 through university, up to working adults. They come with CDs, have plenty of pictures (but not too many) and teach both British and American Vocabulary and pronunciation. For pure grammar, I use the Oxford series. Ask the E.S.A. where you are what they recommend, then make it the official curriculum of your school. Whether you ever actually use it is beside the point. You\'ll score brownie points for asking and they\'ll notice that you followed your advice when they do the inspection to decide whether or not you\'re ready to receive a license.</p>\n<p>d) You\'ll have to have all the usual paperwork to administrate a language school.<br />This is pretty self-explanatory...sign in sheets, attendance sheets, daily logs, payroll records, etc.</p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Miscellaneous</strong></p>\n<p>a) You\'ll need a first aid kit that meets the E.S.A. requirements.<br />b) You\'ll want a T.V. in the reception area, for parents and students who might be waiting. I hate T.V., but you will want one, trust me. (See point \"e\" below.)<br />c) Lots of magazines/books for people to read in the reception area.<br />d) Lots of plants and an overall pleasant atmosphere.<br />e) I recommend that you hire a young, pretty, outgoing receptionist who LIKES to talk! Did I mention that they should like to talk?! On Saturday mornings, when we have kids classes, you should see the reception area. Ten to fifteen housewives or working Moms sitting and talking and talking and talking and talking. Wow! <br />f) Air conditioning for every classroom and the reception area.</p>\n<p>Miscellaneous Tips and Advice:</p>\n<p>- As far as pricing is concerned, there are usually two ways you can go, hourly or monthly. I think this depends, mostly, on your clientele. For example, a friend of mine has a language school in Ratchaburi and he charges a flat fee per month, for a set number of hours per week. Of course, whether it\'s a private or a group class effects the price as well. I\'m sure (at least I would hope) that any of you who are considering opening up your own language school already know all the basics of pricing and textbook choosing and number of times a student can cancel, etc.</p>\n<p>- Have a CD/DVD player in the classroom. If you can, also have an overhead projector linked to a computer with an internet connection. If you have a lot of classrooms, this can be an expensive proposition.</p>\n<p>- After you have submitted all of your paperwork asking to get licensed, a team of inspectors from the local E.S.A. will come to inspect your school. I recommend that you offer to take them out to lunch or dinner AFTER the inspection is finished. Don\'t be cheap! While you\'re at the restaurant, ask them if there\'s anything special they\'d like to order to take home. They will love the largesse, they\'ll remember you when it comes to doing your paperwork and it might put you out an extra thousand.</p>\n<p>- I recommend that ANY time you, or a representative of your school, have to go to the local E.S.A., take a gift! If you\'re going into an office where you don\'t know who\'s a drinker and who\'s not, take a cake from S&amp;P. If you know someone is a drinker, get them a bottle of Johnny Red or Johnny Black. Whether you are or not, they assume you\'re rich and they usually have a salary of somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 a month, so every little free thing helps.</p>\n<p>- In my experience, it helps to have at least one teacher (preferably a foreigner) who can speak decent Thai. This is for the really slow classes. It helps. The students get way too discouraged, too quickly, if they can\'t even get out of the gate due to linguistic inadequacies. I say \"preferably a foreigner\" because, in my experience, the vast majority of Thai students would rather have a \"farang hua daeng\" than a Thai educated abroad. Although I disagree with this sentiment morally and philosophically, I tend to look at it from a business standpoint instead.</p>\n</p>','','2008-12-31 20:27:18',1,'2008-12-31 20:27:18','2009-07-18 10:10:19'),(590,14,'And it\'s goodnight from me','and-its-goodnight-from-me','Feathers have most certainly been ruffled','Unfortunately this monthly column of mine has to come to a rather premature end.','<p>Well, boys and girls, it\'s been real.

Aphisit\'s campaign promise of slashing tuition and incidental fees for all Thai taxpayers has many government schools running scared. One friend of mine works at a government school which has had had 6 foreign teachers for the last six years but only has the budget for 4 this year! Also, instead of only teaching 20 periods per week, they all have to teach 25...that\'s if they want to keep their job! There seems to be a lot of that going around, schools hiring less people and giving them each heavier workloads. The big, famous government schools probably won\'t suffer too much because they have very generous Alumni and Parent Associations (if ya know what I mean) and have way too many applicants to fill too few seats. A good Thai friend of mine said that he had to give a \"generous donation\" of 300,000 Baht to get his 12 year old into a mid-level public mattayom school! That same school was accepting \"generous donations\" of only 100,000 last year. I guess that the schools are going to find their budget somewhere. So that\'s (I think) why the job market is a lot tighter this year than last.</p>\n<p>Also, that initial tidal wave of fear, resentment, anger and anxiety that accompanied the \"Recent Teacher License Unpleasantness\" (think of John Gielgud in a smoking jacket, glass of dry sherry in hand saying that) has disappeared like the police at a U.D.D. rally. In typical Thai government fashion, The MOE (Teacher\'s Council) issued stern warnings like \"We really mean it this time people!\", \"We aint f$@kin around dude!\" and \"Never listen to a Barry Manilow album after sex...it\'ll ruin the mood!\" Now, when we go to The Teachers Council they seem to be handing out those \"Temporary Permits to Teach Without a Teacher\'s License\" like dancers of dubious sexual plumbing hand out condoms at the end of Silom Soi 3! Oh well, business as usual. They showed us the carrot but it turns out the stick just may be a wet noodle.</p>\n<p>Speaking of Teacher\'s Licenses, I have some friends who are teaching in private language schools and, at their request, I went to The MOE last week to try to get a definitive answer to the question \"Do language school teachers need to get these new teacher\'s licenses?\" The answer I was given was that there are two groups of teachers who do NOT need to bother with jumping through these (relatively) new teacher licensing hoops. They are:</p>\n<p>1) Teachers who teach in private language schools, i.e. ECC, Siam Computer, Inlingua, Berlitz, Wall Street, etc.</p>\n<p>2) Teachers in colleges or universities, whether public or private.</p>\n<p>Who is my source, you ask? My source is Mr. Suphat Boonsong, Head Legal Counsel for The Council for Higher Education in Thailand (C.H.E.T.), the governing body for all colleges and universities here. He got on the phone with Head Legal Counsel at The Office of the Private Education Commission (O.P.E.C.), the governing body for all private, pre college level schools here and that lawyer confirmed it too. So if any of you at private language schools or unis are being told that you need to get a new teacher\'s license, just have the organization you work for call Mr. Boonsong at his office number, (02) 628-5281, to get yourself off the hook.</p>\n<p>So if you teach in one of the mall language schools or at a uni, good on you! Don\'t even bother worrying about it! If you don\'t, my sympathies and I\'ll see ya in the line at The Teacher\'s Council to get one of those temporary things. I\'ll be the guy with the stupid grin on his face, wearing the Barry Manilow t-shirt!</p>\n</p>','','2009-04-30 20:48:05',1,'2009-04-30 20:48:05','2009-07-18 12:12:06'),(592,31,'An unexpected conversation','an-unexpected-conversation','A little chit-chat down at the MOE','I was at a new housewarming party of an MOE official the other day and I had a very unexpected, but very pleasantly surprising, conversation. \n','<p>I was at a new housewarming party of an MOE official the other day and I had a very unexpected, but very pleasantly surprising, conversation.\n<p>Most of these \"parties\" are pretty dry affairs with bland, socially acceptable conversation, food and company. No one dares say anything even slightly controversial or contrary to whatever the current MOE policy is on anything when we talk shop.</p>\n<p>I was seated next to the Head of one of four Educational Administrative Regions. In Thailand, the four are Northern, Central, Northeastern and Southern.</p>\n<p>After the usual small talk we started discussing the differences between educational systems in different countries. He asked me what I thought the number one problem facing the education system in Thailand was.</p>\n<p>Uh-oh, I thought. Talk about a loaded question! As I sat there, with an expression like a deer caught in headlights on my face, he laughed and proceeded to give me his two cents worth.</p>\n<p>\"The biggest problem with the education system, or any other system here, is the (expletive) patronage system\" he proclaimed to my amazement.</p>\n<p>He then went on to rail against the patronage system that puts \"...unqualified Principals in schools who come in, have a cup of coffee, take a piss and then leave!\"</p>\n<p>I was blown away. I\'ve been talking to Thai government officials for years and I always thought to myself \"WHEN is one of these people going to say something real for a change?\" Here was one doing just that.</p>\n<p>We continued to talk for about an hour more and he continued to astound me with his candor, ability to critically evaluate the citizens he served and his seeming burning desire to fix the problems holding his country back. He controls policy implementation for 14 out of the 76 Provinces Thailand has and can move Principals at will in the nearly 500 schools in those Provinces.</p>\n<p>I suppose the reason I wanted to write about him was that he gave me hope. Sometimes dealing with the same seeming unwillingness to enact change or admit that others might have better ideas grinds me down. This guy made me realize that there ARE MOE officials \"fighting the good fight\" at the risk of sounding maudlin.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Just wanted to share the experience with you. I thought it might give some of you, like me, hope that positive change will happen, it will just take time.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>On June 18th - 20th The Teachers Council of Thailand is holding a 3 day seminar at The Welcome Hotel in Pattaya. It is being administered by Chonkanyanukul School of Cholburi. The seminar is free. The hotel room is 800 baht per night, single or double. The hotel fee and transportation fee is up to the teacher, the school or both to pay.</p>\n<p>The MOE has tasked The TCT with licensing all teachers, as we know. The TCT, in turn, has enlisted the assistance of The ELI (English Language Institute) which is a part of The MOE in the administration of the seminars. The ELI has set up four different public schools as \"Regional English Program Administrative Centers\". The school that handles all EP matters in The Central Academic Administrative Region is Yothinburana School, in Bangkok. Yothinburana has passed the torch onto Chonkanyanukul School of Cholburi which leads us here.</p>\n<p>This seminar is a training seminar in which you will be taught all of the information to take the 2nd of the 4 Part Exams to receive a Teachers License. The 2nd part of the 4 part exam covers Curriculum Development, Learning Management and Classroom Management.</p>\n<p>The Teachers Council realized that it\'s 4 part exams failed miserably and now they are trying to rectify the situation by doing this seminar. An English speaking instructor will give all of the information needed and then, on the last morning, you would take the exam. If you pass, you only have to take the other 3 parts. I\'ve been told that (at this point) they plan on having \"one or two of these seminars per year\".</p>\n<p>Who can go?...<br />1) Anyone who teaches in a public or private Anuban, Primary or Secondary school that falls under the jurisdiction of OBEC or OPEC in The Central Academic Administrative Region. (If you\'re not sure if your school qualifies, call the people running the seminar, their info is below, at the end of the article.)</p>\n<p>2) Any teacher who has already taken and passed the \"20 Hour Thai Culture, Language and Professional Ethics Course\" prior to attending the seminar.</p>\n<p>3) Any teacher who has AT LEAST a Bachelor Degree in any subject OTHER than Education. (You will be asked to provide copies of academic credentials.)</p>\n<p>4) Any teacher who meets qualification requirements 1 to 3 who sponsoring school feels \"has a more than reasonable chance of understanding and passing\".</p>\n<p>I have been told, by Chonkanyanukul School, that teachers from English Programs will be given priority admittance, but everyone is welcome to apply until seats fill.</p>\n<p>The man you want to contact is Ajarn Root (from Chonkanyanukul School) at (086) 543 - 7688.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Good luck and I\'ll see you there!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Correction</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Ajarn Root at Chonkalyanukul School in Cholburi called a friend of mine (after reading my recent article), who called me, to ask me to correct two mistakes.</p>\n<p>1) There will be NO exam at the end of the three day seminar, in Pattaya, on June 18th, 19th and 20th. It will JUST be a seminar to impart the knowledge needed to take Exam 2 (of the 4 part exam series) to help interested foreign teachers get a better pass rate. HOWEVER, everyone who attends will receive a certificate attesting to the fact that they attended this seminar, which will probably help anyone who doesn\'t have one yet in getting a \"Temporary permit to teach Without a Teacher\'s License\". Of course, having an idea of the material that will be covered in the second exam, after attending this seminar, can only help you pass the exam.</p>\n<p>2) The English Language Institute is NOT directly involved with this. Cholglayanukul School is taking the initiative itself, with the knowledge and consent of The Central Academic Administrative Region. The ELI is already overworked with the translation of the 2551 Curriculum into English.</p>\n<p>My apologies to Ajarn Root and to any of my fellow foreign teachers out there!</p>\n<p>I still think it\'s a great idea and I want to thank Ajarn Root for having enough vision and initiative to see something that needed doing and doing it!</p>\n<p>See you in Pattaya!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2009-06-01 00:38:24',1,'2009-06-01 00:38:24','2018-04-15 03:03:16'),(593,31,'Studying for an online degree','studying-for-an-online-degree','What are your options if you need to get a degree pdq','I know a few foreign teachers who never finished their Bachelor Degree and they are a little stressed out about that fact, vis-à-vis the (not so) new teacher licensing regulations from The Teachers Council of Thailand.','<p>There a few things I thought I\'d discuss this month.

In an effort to help them, I compiled the following list of several websites that refer the surfer to various online and/or distance learning college/university programs.

I thought I\'d share the list with you and if any of you would like to add to the list, let me know and I\'ll add your info and repost it at a later date. Thanks in advance.\n<p>I apologize for the fact that there are not many online/distance colleges/universities from Great Britain, Canada, Australia or New Zealand listed. It was not intentional.

Why am I putting this link into an article to help people who never finished their Bachelor Degree? Because Leicester has the right, like any other British University, to accept students into their Masters level programs who never finished their Bachelors, as long as they judge that you have enough teaching experience to equate with what you would have learned in the last two (major focused) years of an Education bachelor degree. Why just get a Bachelors when you can spend 2 to 3 years and graduate with a Masters from a university that is accredited by The British MOE? It costs around 300,000 Baht, but WHAT a deal! I already checked with both The British Embassy and The British Council and the both assured me that it is legit. You will have to type a rather lengthy essay, explaining to them why you think they should admit you to the program. Obviously, if you have several years of teaching experience, this will help you sell yourself. You\'ll also need a few references, the more impressive the better and you will have to show them your transcripts from any college level courses you DID take. They may accept you or may not. A great program all around.</p>\n<p>2) http://www.londonexternal.ac.uk/ <br />One of the oldest (if not THE oldest) university level distance learning programs in the English speaking world.

I don\'t want to give you nightmares!)</p>\n<p>\n<p>I was walking down Ratchadamnoen Avenue, near the Democracy Monument, the other day and I walked past The Lawyers Association of Thailand. I went and talked to them and they gave me some very useful information.</p>\n<p>They have volunteer lawyers always on call ready to assist anyone who walks through their door, free of charge! I have read a lot of threads on various forums lately about employment contracts, wrongful terminations and other legal skullduggery, so I thought this might be useful information to many of you. However, they are NOT to be confused with the Law Society of Thailand, the Professional Licensing Body (i.e. Bar Association) for all Thai lawyers. The Lawyers Association of Thailand is, as it was explained to me, a volunteer organization set up to assist the underprivileged in obtaining free, high quality legal advice and/or representation.</p>\n<p>They assured me that they have given free legal assistance to many foreign nationals over the last 52 years, since their inception. However, that did ask me to tell anyone who might be interested to please bring along a friend or someone else who can speak both your language AND Thai. It is very difficult, time consuming and expensive (for you) to find an interpreter for you. If you bring your own along, you\'re golden.

In four years of living here I have only had two of those encounters where a local that you know, for no apparent reason, suddenly starts ignoring you. And even those exceptions went away quickly.','<p>The northeast of Thailand is called Isaan [also Isan and Isarn] and takes in towns and cities like Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Loei and Nong Khai.\n<p>It is the poorest and least touristy area of the country.</p>\n<p>There are a lot of retired foreigners living across the region though.</p>\n<p><strong>ACCOMMODATION</strong><br />Houses and apartments are cheap to rent. What would cost upwards of 10,000 baht per month in Bangkok can be had for 2,500 baht in Isaan. Accommodation can be found either in town or outside it, with the latter frequently offering beautiful views of paddy fields and fruit trees.</p>\n<p>Apartment blocks in town tend to be seedy affairs because most of the tenants are male tourists that frequent go-go bars. If you are here for the longer-term, then you should rent out of town.</p>\n<p><strong>TRANSPORT<br /></strong>Taxi-buses are cheap, reliable and fairly extensive, but finish shortly after sunset. Tuk-tuks and motorbike-taxis can be reasonable, but not at airports or train and bus stations.</p>\n<p>Secondhand motorbikes are cheap and, once you are established here, it is easy to find a local who will sign a monthly deal for you with a motorbike dealer if you want a new one.</p>\n<p>New and used cars do not provide good value for money. I always find this surprising because Thailand manufactures cars.</p>\n<p>Traffic police can be a nuisance unless you have a helmet, a license and an up-to-date tax disk. Fines range between 200 and 500 baht. Ironically, if you are stopped for not wearing a helmet, you are free to ride off again just as soon as you have paid the fine.</p>\n<p><strong>VISAS<br /></strong>Much of Isaan was part of ancient Lao and getting to and from Vientiane and a certain consulate is quick and easy when compared with overnight journeys that many people have to make from the south.</p>\n<p>The immigration office at Nong Khai has toughened up on visa rules over the last 12 months though, and you must meet requirements to get extensions.</p>\n<p><strong>FOOD AND DRINK</strong><br />Isaan cuisine is probably the best and most unique food in the whole country. It is a fusion of Lao and Thai with hints of Chinese and Vietnamese. This reflects the ethnicity of the people in the region.</p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the locals all speak Thai and Laos, none of them will tell you that they are Thai-Lao in origin. Thai-Thai, yes. Thai-Chinese, yes. Thai-Vietnamese, yes. Thai-Lao, never.</p>\n<p>Useless trivia. Why do the gold shops have Chinese writing on them? Because Chinese prospectors settled here after the California gold rush and all of the families that own those shops are Thai-Chinese.</p>\n<p>With a lot of Isaan food you have to be adventurous. The best way to experience it is through dinner party invitations and to listen to local advice as to which are the best restaurants.</p>\n<p>With the exception of perhaps green chicken curry, classic Thai dishes are not as good here as they are elsewhere in the country.</p>\n<p>The most common Isaan staples are sticky rice and papaya salad, with the latter being the best in Thailand and coming in many different varieties. But watch that MSG though.</p>\n<p>Sticky rice is an essential part of a lot of Isaan cuisine so give it a chance by weaning yourself onto it. And wash your hands before eating it too.</p>\n<p>The number of vegetable, meat and fish dips that accompany it is mouth-wateringly mind boggling.</p>\n<p>A lot of the food is seasonal. All of the leaf and herb salads are good for body and soul, and the wild fruits and vegetables that appear at various stages throughout the year are not to be missed.</p>\n<p>My own personal favourites are the raw beef salads and the barbecue and hot pot dishes that you cook at the table.</p>\n<p>Freshwater fish, cockles and shrimp from the Mekong are always high on my shopping list.</p>\n<p>Sa-gok from Nong Khai is up there with the world\'s best sausages.</p>\n<p>Rice porridge is the best in the country and, once you have found a really good breakfast shop, addiction quickly follows. Along with many other foreigners here, it is my favourite meal of the day.</p>\n<p>While it is possible to eat low-calorie and low-fat food, many delicious Isaan dishes are not for those watching their weight or cholesterol levels.</p>\n<p>Street vendor food tends to be below par when compared with the rest of the country. Incidentally, the best hawker food I have ever tried was in Chon Buri.</p>\n<p>Food markets are cheap and plentiful, and it is easy to eat three decent meals for no more than 80 baht a day. 100 baht and you are a true Isaan prince.</p>\n<p>Beer is also cheap, especially in out of town stores. Three large bottles of Chang and a bag of ice should cost you no more than 110 baht.</p>\n<p>Beer Lao is also available but at almost twice the price of what you would pay for it across the border. There has to be a good reason why one of the world\'s finest brews has yet to make a mark outside of its own country.</p>\n<p>Foreign owned bars tend to be overpriced, with Thai beers coming in at around the 90 baht mark. At 160 baht a pint, Irish stout is extortionate.</p>\n<p>I prefer cheap and cheerful Thai watering holes by local beauty spots.</p>\n<p>There are a number of foreign restaurants that deserve a mention too.</p>\n<p>All of the established German, Italian and Japanese restaurants are excellent. German restaurants also have great deli and bakery sections. Those offering Bavarian or Swabian menus are the best.</p>\n<p>If you are looking for authentic French or a really good Indian curry, Vientiane is your next destination.</p>\n<p>British restaurants always seem to have one thing missing. No horseradish for the beef. No English mustard for the chicken or pork. No salad cream for the ham salads. No mushy peas with the fish and chips. No fried slice or black pudding with the cooked breakfasts.</p>\n<p>Never short on condiments or side-dishes though are the American restaurants. Started up by ex-servicemen, they offer some of the tastiest home-cooked southern-style food anywhere outside of the USA.</p>\n<p>Food prices at foreign restaurants are reasonable but it is not possible to eat at them everyday if you are on a budget.</p>\n<p>KFC is here in force, but McDonalds has yet to make a dent.</p>\n<p>Lots of foreign foods and brands can be found at retailers such as Tops, Tesco Lotus and Big C.</p>\n<p><strong>PEOPLE</strong><br />Isaan folk are by far the easiest to get along with in Thailand. In four years of living here I have only had two of those encounters where a local that you know, for no apparent reason, suddenly starts ignoring you. And even those exceptions went away quickly.</p>\n<p>Even in larger places like Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, the local grapevine can make or break you.</p>\n<p>My advice is to stay well away from go-go bars. I have known three teachers that lost their jobs over this.</p>\n<p><strong>WORK</strong><br />There are opportunities for entrepreneurs, but you need money and good local contacts.</p>\n<p>Failing that, teaching English is the way to go and there is usually plenty to choose from.</p>\n<p>Most of the vacancies never make it to the Internet.</p>\n<p>You can work for government schools and earn up to 30,000 baht a month. Higher than this is uncommon for Isaan.</p>\n<p>Private schools are a better option for teachers who take work more seriously because you can actively become involved in curriculum development and other interesting initiatives.</p>\n<p>Most schools do not push for a work permit. Indeed, you have to push them.</p>\n<p>Universities do insist on work permits however, so you will need your documents in order.</p>\n<p>You can increase your income by about 5,000 to 15,000 baht a month by teaching part-time at private language centres. If you go all out and work seven days a week, daytimes for your school and evenings and weekends for AUA, you can expect to net an additional 30,000 baht a month. This shift is a killer though.</p>\n<p>With the exception of AUA, do not give up your day job if a language centre tells you that it has full-time work. This is always seasonal and never lasts for very long. One language centre that has about seven branches across the region is notorious for doing this.</p>\n<p>In most cases, you need to actually be here to find work and this is why there are so few female teachers here.</p>\n<p>As newcomers, the first places that they go to are the town and city centres where they see bars and restaurants full of retired foreign men with Thai partners. And then they see the other kind of establishments previously mentioned.</p>\n<p>I know only two female teachers that have lasted it out here and that is because they both have Thai partners.</p>\n<p><strong>ENTERTAINMENT AND SIGHTSEEING</strong><br />Well, you can play golf at excellent courses and visit beautiful national parks. You can even take in the odd cave, prehistoric site or ancient temple. But, above and beyond that, Isaan offers very little in the way of tourist attractions.</p>\n<p>What it does offer is a simple, laid-back and inexpensive lifestyle. And that is something I will gladly accept any day of the week.</p>\n</p>','','2009-01-01 00:48:09',1,'2009-01-01 00:48:09','2009-07-21 15:03:10'),(595,32,'Yes, it\'s official','yes-its-official','Thais can be just as good at English as Khmers, Vietnamese and Laotians but','English is a compulsory subject in Thailand.

Therefore, the language of instruction is actually Thai filled in with English.</p>\n<p>Observe the majority of local teachers and you will see that this is the case.</p>\n<p>They are not knowingly at fault though. It\'s how most of them learned English and it was how they were trained to teach it. And not actively speak it particularly well.</p>\n<p>And that makes sense to your average tutor at a teacher training college. Why bother modeling the language or using visual tools when you can just simply explain the material in Thai?</p>\n<p>This is the model that most tutors and local teachers use;</p>\n<p>1. TELL THEM WHAT YOU\'RE GOING TO TELL THEM in Thai</p>\n<p>2. TELL THEM with English content and prompts in Thai</p>\n<p>3. TELL THEM WHAT YOU\'VE JUST TOLD THEM in Thai</p>\n<p>So, English is a compulsory subject in Thailand. But class sizes are normally large. This leaves little or no room for one-to-one dialogues.</p>\n<p>The MoE is only doing its job and it can only do this with tangible data that comes from compliance with and results from written tests and exams.</p>\n<p>School heads are just the same. How else are they going to meet MoE stipulations and judge the effectiveness of English teachers, student success rates and parent satisfaction? English is just another compulsory subject to them.</p>\n<p>That most students advance through the education system learning English in Thai is a given.</p>\n<p>But what about the students that do have native speaker teachers from P1 to M6?</p>\n<p>Those teachers also have to deal with large class sizes and they have to cover x-amount of mandatory material so that students can pass written tests. Hands are pretty much tied here.</p>\n<p>The key to this apparent dilemma is to build and maintain a basic classroom rapport with your students, I.E. Do you like...?</p>\n<p>What they can actively and willingly use is always retained. And that\'s a fact. Try it if you haven\'t already done so. It really works.</p>\n<p>For 5 or 10 minutes of every class, exploit what students are interested in and you\'ll soon get them talking.</p>\n<p>Teach them how to tell English Premiership football scores properly [three nil vs. three zero, two all vs. two two, etc.,.].</p>\n<p>Give them the ability to talk about major sporting events like the European Champions League and the Olympics, major festivals like Christmas and the latest cartoons and films like Dragonball Z and Iron Man</p>\n<p>Thais also like talking about food, as we all do. Most native Chinese teachers will confirm this point. Ask them.</p>\n<p>By the time that Thai students finish high school/university and begin to venture out into the private language centres, it\'s because they have a specific need to continue learning English. Exploit this too.</p>\n<p>Those that need to pass entrance exams or communicate using written general or business English, are hardly going to want conversation classes.</p>\n<p>Vice versa, those that do need conversation are hardly going to want written grammar exercises. Think about it.</p>\n<p>I have read a good number of Internet forum posts where people have said that Indochinese are better at English than Thais because of their need to escape poverty.</p>\n<p>Having worked in Cambodia, Lao and Vietnam, I don\'t completely disagree with these statements but look at most Thais. They\'re relatively poor too. Sure, not quite to the same extent but are most Thais in a position to lend someone, I.E. you, a large sum of money?

It wasn\'t that it was boring because if it had of been then other students wouldn\'t have liked it or excelled at it. It was because it wasn\'t particularly accessible to you as a learner.\n<p>And this is how English is to a lot of students when they have to study it as a compulsory subject. They may even enjoy or be competent at parts of it but it is still the least accessible subject to them because of language barriers.</p>\n<p>Beyond primary 4 or 5, a lot of homework becomes a copying exercise or it simply just doesn\'t get done. I never set it. Even with adults at private language centres.</p>\n<p>As individuals, many of us don\'t like working on our own and if you do then I would suggest it\'s either because you\'re genuinely good at it or you were conditioned to do so during your school years.</p>\n<p>Working with other people is always more enjoyable and it takes the pressure off of weak spots too. This is teamwork at its most basic level. Everyone can bring something to the party and if they can\'t then they don\'t end up feeling like an idiot.</p>\n<p>Use this in the classroom. Create learning groups and don\'t get hung up on trying to balance learning styles and skills. Let students self-select and name themselves. There were always a few kids on my school sports teams that I couldn\'t stand but I always wanted to be on their teams because they were good players.</p>\n<p>The only time you should step in is if the very best students do try to cluster themselves. This rarely happens though. Cheats!</p>\n<p>Learning groups can become teams in the classroom. Like in games or weekly competitions. But where they can really work is outside of the classroom. Set them stimulating and enjoyable activities to complete. Sourcing things from the Internet or the library. Drawing and labeling. Writing funny shorts. Creating profiles of the latest pop or movie icons. Designing and describing superheroes. Producing mini comic books. What I\'m saying here is just make it interesting for them.</p>\n<p>If you have large class sizes then be realistic. You can\'t benefit every student. It\'s almost impossible. But what you can do with learning groups is reward the best students with things that they actually want to do. And conceivably help students that are normally difficult to reach.</p>\n<p>So what if some students in learning groups don\'t lift a finger? Most of those don\'t usually do so in the classroom or where homework is concerned either!</p>\n<p>So, how big or small should a learning group be? The ideal is to have around five students on each team. That way the chance is increased that all of them actually contribute something to projects.</p>\n<p>Learning groups aren\'t an answer to large class sizes and they aren\'t the answer to students that struggle with English. What they can do with the latter though, is to make the subject more bearable.</p>\n<p>Pass the good news on to teachers in the grades above you too. Show them your successes. What works in one school year should certainly work in the next. And it doesn\'t matter what sort of teacher you are either, serious or funny.</p>\n<p>For primary 3 and above try experimenting with the Internet. Create collaborative blogs for students. Let them choose the design and name too. Have regular email competitions.</p>\n<p>If your school has computers and a local network, you can also create team folders. Get them using the fun features of applications like PowerPoint and Paint.</p>\n<p>Let learning groups maintain their own CDs and have them submit projects on them. Show these in class if they\'re really good.</p>\n<p>Ask students if they play Audition and other online games and there\'s your answer to whether they can use a computer or not.</p>\n<p>Put up performance charts in class but don\'t turn them into a race. Highlight what each learning group did well. Award prizes and certificates where necessary.</p>\n<p>You don\'t need to be a rocket scientist. Honest.

Isaan folk are by far the easiest people to get along with in Thailand.\n<p>They are very easy going and like nothing more than to be surrounded by family, friends and food.</p>\n<p>But they do not like to be controlled or governed. I think the same can be said about a lot of Thais but you can really see it in action here. Isaan folk will only tolerate something when it can\'t be ignored.</p>\n<p>The media frequently told us that this was the stronghold of a former prime minister. Not in any conventional political sense it wasn\'t. This is the poorest area of the country and that politician realised that pulling favours here would earn votes. And it worked.</p>\n<p>It was and is rare to find a picture of said former P.M. in offices, public buildings and homes though. And there was not a lot of love lost here when he was first of all ousted and then subsequently forced into exile.</p>\n<p>Back to Isaan folk. You can divide them up into three groups;</p>\n<p>Thai-Thai; this is where you find the majority of the poor, many of whom live at a similar level to people in Cambodia, Lao and Vietnam. Don\'t agree? Then go to village areas and all will be revealed. Most of them can\'t speak a word of English but will greet you you with a great big smile. They\'ll also point at you and say \"Falang\" and want to come and study you for a minute or two. If you can speak some Thai though, they will usually want to have a giggle with you. Bless &lsquo;em.</p>\n<p>Thai-Vietnamese; apart from in places like Nong Bua Lam Phu, these people are the minority. They maintain certain traditions such as wearing ao dais to weddings and cooking pho bo. I have yet to meet any who I would describe as being dirt poor. They do have to work hard to make a living though. I don\'t understand why more of them haven\'t branched out in to the food business because Vietnamese fayre is popular up here and I much prefer authentic style cuisine to the VT restaurants.</p>\n<p>Thai-Chinese; this is where the money is and it varies between having a comfortable house and a decent car to being noticeably wealthy or absolutely filthy stinking rich. A middle group always make me laugh. They holiday in expensive countries, drive flashy cars, have sets of golf clubs to die for and own every conceivable gadget, but their homes still need a good lick of paint and some decent furniture. If you teach at a private school in Isaan many of your students will be Thai-Chinese. Absences during Chinese New Year are always noticeable.</p>\n<p>What are Isaan folk like to teach? At every level from primary 1 up to TOEFL and business English you need to make your classes lively and enjoyable. If you can\'t do this then it will be difficult to build meaningful connections with your students.</p>\n<p>If you can do this however, then finding private tuition work is relatively easy. Word of mouth means a lot here and reputation can be everything.</p>\n<p>What are Isaan folk like to work with?

The better private schools require two job interviews, several observational classes and a probationary period.</p>\n<p>There are quite a lot of private language centres too. With the exception of AUA none of them can offer permanent work. If they tell you that they can, then the work is seasonal and will quickly dwindle away after the big school holidays.

Fair\'s fair after all.</p>\n<p>Many private kindergartens are also crying out for foreign female teachers.</p>\n<p>Some poor schools, particularly those with private benefactors, will pay about 20,000, whereas government and private schools and universities pay around the 30,000 mark. Some private schools also offer free limited accident insurance. Schools that also hire native Chinese teachers usually pay them by the class. If you are offered the same, demand a guaranteed minimum monthly salary or leave it at that. N.B.

Well, most of the available textbooks are as dull as dishwater and are far too generic. If they were designed for international markets then most of the countries in Southeast Asia didn\'t appear on the list.\n<p>The delivery of courses can also be sub-standard. Some people have a bee in their bonnets about teachers that don\'t have degrees. I feel the same way about people who teach business English and don\'t have commercial backgrounds. Why? Because they can\'t bring any empathy to the role or add any real value. They\'re not teaching a subject, they\'re teaching a textbook.</p>\n<p>While we\'re on this touchy subject, I can tell you that none of my academic qualifications, with perhaps the exceptions on an English Language O-Level and an English Literature A-Level, have helped me to be a better teacher.</p>\n<p>My Trinity TEFL was only a starter and I am so far removed from it now having developed my own teaching style over the years.</p>\n<p>I also have professional qualifications from the marketing communications industry. These have marginally helped where teaching business English is concerned. More importantly though, I held middle and senior management positions for big-name direct marketing agencies in London for over ten years and this experience has definitely come in handy.</p>\n<p>I taught the Business English Certificate [BEC] in Cambodia about seven years ago. As a newbie I was asked to observe some experienced teachers. One had clearly mastered the teachers guide and was managing to deliver the bare minimum to get students to pass the course. The other two were barely out of university and didn\'t have a clue what they were talking about. And this was in front of an audience of senior managers and successful businesspeople. I wasn\'t impressed either.</p>\n<p>Many people teach business English because they have to because the private language centres where they work offer it alongside their general and conversational classes. But don\'t get me wrong, I\'m not writing this to criticise or wag a finger, but to add a profitable solution to the equation.</p>\n<p>I teach businesses privately. And I offer them specific courses that match their needs to the letter. An economic downturn is when businesses need to invest more carefully, and generic courses just don\'t cut the mustard.</p>\n<p>If you work for a private language centre it is unlikely that you will be able to use any of this. Your employer has far too many overheads to go around changing things; the costs of their offices and classrooms, stocks of textbooks, marketing initiatives and staff salaries, to name but four.</p>\n<p>If you do work like me though, then the following should be of interest to you. Please let me know how you get on if you decide to run with it.</p>\n<p>Preamble over, what I\'m talking about are weekend seminars and special evening courses. And there\'s not a sniff of a textbook here either because the courses use real life simulations and role-plays throughout.</p>\n<p>If you don\'t have a commercial background, then you\'ll need to revert to the Internet, Amazon.com and the big bookstores for industry specific content. And you may not find what you\'re looking for either.</p>\n<p>If you do have a commercial background however, here\'s what I suggest. Draw-up a hit list of industries that you want to target. Banks with foreign exchanges and Western Union services for example.</p>\n<p>Consider all of the touchpoints where English is required; face-to-face, telephone, email, fax, website and paperwork, etc.</p>\n<p>Then create a list of scenarios, good, bad and indifferent where banking staff need to interact with foreigners. Make the list as extensive as possible and don\'t leave anything out.</p>\n<p>Then create some sample simulations and role-plays. Write them as scripts. Set the scene and provide some dialogue. It\'ll need to be everyday English that staff can retain and that foreign customers who are also speaking English as a second language can understand.</p>\n<p>When you know approximately how long your sample would take to deliver, i.e. 2 hours, you can then tally up your other scenarios and have a good idea of how long a weekend seminar or special evening course should take. And from there you can work out your costs; course creation, materials and actual teaching time.</p>\n<p>Get a local business directory and you\'re ready to go to market. Make appointments to see senior managers, and try to go for regional rather than local headquarters. Give them copies of your sample and outline your costs. Explain that they can\'t buy anything similar from private language centres and that if they can the costs will be considerably higher. Tell that you have no overheads beyond course creation and delivery and that your courses are also more realistic because they are actually held at the place of business. You can even offer prospective clients a free trial class.</p>\n<p>If, after reading this, you want to see a sample simulation or role-play, then teaching business English probably isn\'t for you. I stress again the need to have a commercial background and if you can\'t understand the benefits of the approach I\'ve outlined above it\'s because you don\'t have one.

','<p>I\'ve been teaching TOEFL and IELTS ever since I arrived in Thailand and I quickly realised that there\'s far more to passing the tests than simply memorising the strategies in the textbooks.\n<p>When I first came here I did a tour of the private language centres in Bangkok and managed to squeeze out of more than a few of them that it takes your average Thai student at least four attempts to pass the tests.

I will not adhere to rules and regulations that mean students have to repeatedly sit tests. It\'s a rip-off.</p>\n<p>I also only work with the most committed of students. There are two ways of sounding out potential students on this; [1] they must be able to provide their weekly schedules so that you can see their free time. Anything less than eight hours of available TOEFL or IELTS time is a big turn-off for me and [2] they must be able to tell you exactly what degree they want to study, which country they would most prefer to study it in and why, and what job/career they expect to have after graduation.</p>\n<p>If they can\'t do this, especially with the latter, it\'s because mummy and daddy are footing the bill and pushing them towards something they have at best only a notional interest in. I won\'t work with these kinds of students.</p>\n<p>Students study with me face-to-face for a minimum of six hours per week. Mistakes are treated as learning opportunities and we do not move on until both of us are confident that the same mistakes will not be repeated. Indeed, actively refer to &lsquo;mistakes\' as &lsquo;learning opportunities\' and praise every single success.</p>\n<p>Tailor your lesson plans and teaching approach so that your students never feel disappointed with their efforts. TOEFL and IELTS are difficult subjects after all.</p>\n<p>The remaining two hours of the TOEFL or IELTS week is spent on daily projects and contact with me via telephone and/or email.</p>\n<p>What sort of projects? Whatever ones will help to develop weaker areas and reinforce the stronger ones.</p>\n<p>For example, I might get them to actively watch and read BBC World and the Bangkok Post and report specifics back to me. But I only set them tasks in which they have a genuine interest. By focusing on what they really like, I find that it takes a lot of the pressure off of studying the subjects.</p>\n<p>This approach ensures that students are immersed in English on a daily basis and it uses all of the four skills to mastering it; listening, speaking, reading and writing.</p>\n<p>When I begin working with a new student I always stress that TOEFL or IELTS are a once in a lifetime activity and when they have passed either test they\'ll never need to sit it again.</p>\n<p>The results that I\'ve received from this 360-degree approach have been impressive too, with many students passing on their second or third attempts.</p>\n<p>And, no, my rates aren\'t cheap but my students do get excellent value for money and are at least one step closer to realising their ambitions than they ever will be with your average private language centre.</p>\n</p>','','2009-06-01 05:48:27',1,'2009-06-01 05:48:27','2009-07-21 19:07:28'),(605,32,'Edutainment is back','edutainment-is-back','Love it or loathe it - we\'re in the entertainment business','Games are a great way to get student’s brains working in English.

You won\'t be able to do it with all of them.</p>\n<p>It is only in my adult life that I have developed a hobbyist interest in mathematics. As a student I couldn\'t stand the subject. And no mathematics teacher could ever persuade me otherwise.</p>\n<p>If your TEFL or CELTA was worth its salt, you\'ll have learned about the importance of regular review work. But do you really practice it? This is how I\'ve come to define &lsquo;regular\':</p>\n<p>Draw a horizontal rectangle across a piece of paper. Then draw a straight line from the bottom left-hand corner to the top right-hand corner. Write \"Start of term/course\" under the left-hand corner and \"End of term/course under the bottom right-hand corner. Then write \"New material\" in the top triangle and \"Review work\" in the bottom one.</p>\n<p>By looking at this simple model it\'s easy to see why so many students struggle to retain new material and score higher in tests and exams.</p>\n<p>We all learned our first language through repetition and I would suggest that the same approach be applied to attempting to learn a second language.</p>\n<p>The following is intended chiefly for primary school teachers, but secondary and private language centre teachers may also find it of interest if they are able to make teaching style &lsquo;adjustments\'.</p>\n<p>Unless university students are majoring in English, I\'ve come to the conclusion that this model can only be applied to reading and writing activities. Call me a defeatist, but I find it a sad but true fact. The most you can do is to help students improve their grades, not their spoken English.</p>\n<p>Now, welcome to the engine room. Primary! The most important level too, as far as I\'m concerned. This is where good learning habits can be created over life-long bad ones that are so easily formed and that are almost impossible to get rid of.</p>\n<p>It\'s also where students form their earliest and ongoing opinions about whether they actually like studying English and/or are good at it.</p>\n<p>Primary school teachers really do have the keys to the kingdom and bear a great responsibility to make sure that as many students as possible do decide that English is for them. Make or break so to speak.</p>\n<p>It is why parents pay extra to have their children taught by native speakers and why the MoE created a budget to recruit native speakers in the first place.</p>\n<p>P1 to 3 is fairly straightforward but you\'ve got to get it right because P4 to 6 suddenly starts to become more complex and it is here where a lot of students die in the water. And they\'ll carry their negative and disinterested attitudes all the way through secondary and on to university. Game over.</p>\n<p>On a more positive note, the best things about primary are that it\'s fun to teach, fun for students to learn and fun for everyone to be a part of IF you take your job seriously.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, primary level student books, workbooks and worksheets are generally based around fun themes. I always shorten or strip out anything that is boring or irrelevant, i.e. cardinal vs. ordinal numbers, baseball, etc.</p>\n<p>There are many reasons why students don\'t or won\'t read something and the number one reason has to be because they have no interest in the topic. Go on, read a newspaper article that you know will bore you senseless and see how it feels.</p>\n<p>I use games and amusing activities in every single class. The Einstein equation of teaching... \"enjoyable means retainable\".</p>\n<p>Phonics is an integral part of every class I teach. If students can read and pronounce words that they\'ve never even seen before and/or don\'t know the meaning of, then it\'s easier for them to learn English. It\'s that simple.</p>\n<p>I also start to introduce basic grammar at the P3 level to help prepare students for the shock that is waiting for them in secondary.</p>\n<p>As your reviewing begins to grow, decrease reading and writing and increase listening and speaking. What may seem incredibly repetitive to you is very stimulating for students. Why? Because they\'re speaking a foreign language and they know what all of the questions and answers mean. And they\'re not coding and decoding between their first and second language, they\'re communicating. Nirvana!</p>\n<p>I went through a brief phase of reading TEFL guru books but stopped when I became sick of reading academic citations and scrutinisations about what DIDN\'T work. Most of these books are written by people that have long since left the classroom. I also already knew what they told me what DID work.</p>\n<p>What I do read from time to time however are books by real teachers who are actively practicing what they preach. Here\'s a great quote from, oops I\'m making a semi-citation here so I\'m deliberately leaving out the publication date, \"Reading Assessment\" by JoAnne Schudt Caldwell. It was intended for English teachers in the US, but it contains some great thinking that can be readily applied to many situations.</p>\n<p>\"Spoken language and written language are much alike. They share the same sound system, the same vocabulary, and the same structure. For example, the sounds that form the spoken word dog are the same sounds that are represented by the letter sequence d-o-g. The meaning of the word dog is the same, whether we are talking, writing or reading. The structure of sentences in spoken and written language remains basically the same. The spoken sentence \"I saw a big dog\" will be represented in print the same way [I saw a big dog]. It will not be twisted or altered to another form, such as dog big saw I a. This means that if children are to learn to read and write their language, they must first acquire that language. They must learn the sounds that stand for meaning. They must learn the underlying concepts. They must learn how to string sounds together to form words and words together to form sentences. They must learn certain language conventions, such as adding -ed to what happened in the past.\" End of quote.</p>\n<p>Don\'t aim for complex, long or grammatically correct conversations. Go for genuine communication and mutual understanding instead. Your improved test and exam results will prove that this method really works.</p>\n<p>Ironically, I\'ve found that the more students actively talk the better they become at writing. This is grammar falling into place the natural way. And that\'s the best way in my humble opinion. But hold weekly spelling tests and written quizzes just to keep this in check.</p>\n<p>Next, the A to Z of English grammar. Secondary! Unless your students are specifically tested on grammatical terminology and/or free-form writing, you need to ask yourself if it is really necessary to teach them something that they will never actively use in conversation.</p>\n<p>Can you, as a native speaker, name every single grammatical term without referring to a book? Very unlikely otherwise you would have been published by now. Do you have in-depth conversations about grammar with anyone other than fellow teachers? No.</p>\n<p>A lot of the secondary tests and exams that I\'ve seen are easy to mark multiple choice questions and gap-fills. Hardly the domain of dull and instantly forgettable terms like present simple continuous and modal auxiliary verb! Think about it.</p>\n<p>\"We know what\'s best for us!\" MAC Education, a Thai publisher, has partnered with Mc Graw Hill and produced &lsquo;Adventures in Reading &amp; Writing\'.</p>\n<p>The series is far more accessible than anything I\'ve seen from other Western publishers and there\'s not a sniff of grammar in it other than actually using the language correctly.

Neither would I.</p>\n<p>You\'ll also notice that the condensed and simplified readers aimed at teens and adults are still far too wordy for non-native speakers. The need for students to continually refer to dictionaries makes the readers tedious to use. Although I have recently seen a series where English to Thai is provided in sides bars on the page BUT the books are still quite wordy.</p>\n<p>The solution to this is to write your own readers and, by doing so, you can produce something that students really want to read and understand.</p>\n<p>First of all there are foreign festivities like Christmas and Valentines Day.</p>\n<p>Then there are sports like football [soccer] and events like the SEA Games, the World Cup and the Olympics.</p>\n<p>And as if this wasn\'t enough, you\'ve then got the latest crazes: Ben 10 and superhero movies for primary students.

In case you haven\'t noticed, most Southeast Asian students are infinitely better at art than we are. I\'m always gob-smacked when I walk into the school art rooms here.</p>\n<p>Use the pictures as talking points. Ask and encourage questions about pictures. Make this language everyday, meaningful English so that students can retain it. Let them realise how relatively straightforward it is to ask and answer wh- questions. But don\'t do this in a hurry, one step at a time if you please.</p>\n<p>If students can understand what a picture is telling them then they can more easily understand the accompanying text that goes with it.</p>\n<p>Verbal Q &amp; A for pictures, written Q &amp; A for text.</p>\n<p>You can also introduce grammar questions as well, i.e. simple present or present continuous? When do we use simple present? Etc.</p>\n<p>Verb, noun or adjective? etc., for younger students.</p>\n<p>A real litmus test is to get students to relate the theme of your readers to local English teachers and then have those teachers relate it back to you. \"Almost\" = very good. \"Exact\" = excellent. Both will help to ensure that your students more confidently pass tests and exams.</p>\n<p>So, give me an example of a homespun reader. Ur, that\'s your job matey!</p>\n<p>What I will say though is that shorter and simpler, based on the level that you\'re teaching, will work way better than anything you can buy in a bookstore. We\'re teaching English, not nuclear physics.</p>\n<p>To conclude, I once read somewhere that if a student can\'t ask and answer questions about their immediate environment, then they haven\'t really learned the language. I quite agree.</p>\n<p>Writing your own readers is one way around this and a powerful one too when you realise how easy it is.</p>\n<p>Go on, MS-Word is a piece of cake.

Your local Thai restaurant may have 50 different items on its menu. Come to Thailand and multiple the possibilities. 50? There are restaurants with 500 different dishes.</p>\n<p>2) Freshness and flavor. It simply isn\'t possible for Thai restaurants outside Southeast Asia to have the fresh ingredients necessary to bring about the hearty, healthy, and authentic flavors you\'ll find in Thailand. Unlike culinary traditions that use dried herbs and spices, Thai cuisine in Thailand only uses fresh herbs. For these and other reasons, the world\'s best Thai food is in Thailand!</p>\n<p>3) Ambiance. Imagine smiling waitresses in beautiful sarongs, while you dine in a gorgeous traditional teak building. Picture a stroll through a charismatic neighborhood on a quest for a legendary street hawker. My personal favorite: feasting at an authentic riverside night market with a beer or two.</p>\n<h3>Regional Specialties</h3>\n<p>In the north and northeast (Isaan), sticky rice is as common as regular steamed rice. Delicious sticky rice, Thai style salads (notably unripe papaya salad) and grilled meats are the unforgettable staples of Isaan cuisine. Khao Soi curried noodles are the dish of Chiang Mai, and shouldn\'t be missed. Tip: first time you try unripe papaya salad (som tam) make sure you only order 2 or 3 chilies, take it from me!<br />The Central Plains, the traditional heart of Thai culture, offer a tremendous array of fantastic eating options. This land of fish and rice is the home of Royal Thai Cuisine. Try local street vendors, such as the fantastic ones at Phitsanulok\'s vibrant riverside night market. Be sure to try Pad Thai, coconut milk based curries, steamed fishes, and for the adventurous - deep-fried insects.<br />The South is home to the hottest food in Thailand. Some of the world\'s freshest and most delicately prepared seafood is available on Thailand\'s coasts. Burmese and Malay influences are more palpable here. Don\'t miss spicy Thai-style shrimp soup (tam yum goong), spicy mung bean noodle salads, and sweet roti desserts.</p>\n<h3>Bangkok Culinary Scene</h3>\n<p>Without a doubt, Bangkok is the epicenter of Thai cuisine. Dishes from all over Thailand find their way to Bangkok. Intense competition leads to incredibly high standards. Inventive chefs specializing in Euro/Asian fusion find ready audiences. Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malaysian, and Indian foods are all readily available; occasionally they\'re fused with Thai ingredients to create some of the most interesting gastronomic mixes of in the world. <br />Try the street food! Street food has tremendous benefits: it\'s fun, it\'s cheap, it\'s (almost always) safe, and many vendors serve only one or two dishes, which means they are extremely specialized. All foodies should try a meal or two from a street vendor. Some particular local personalities, known to Thai foodies and a few culinary tour companies, are absolutely worth seeking out (a la Domenico De Marco in Brooklyn\'s Di Fara Pizza!). <br />Some insider tips: Try the vendors selling fruit on the street, it is almost always fresh, hygienic, and delicious! Yaowarat Road in Bangkok\'s Chinatown at night is a wonderful culinary adventure; go with an empty stomach and an open mind. The neighborhood Pratunam can be overwhelming with its crowds and outdoor bazaars, but the assortment of street vendors here is absolutely incredible. If the food looks like it has been sitting around since last night, use common sense and move on. Lastly, remember to have fun and try whatever you think you might like - you probably will!</p>\n<p><strong>Eating Experiences not to be missed in Bangkok<br /></strong>Cabbages and Condoms - 6 Soi 12, Sukhumvit Road<br />This restaurant is easy to find, supports safe sex and responsible social development, and has an ambiance you will never, ever, forget.

The Chinese restaurant is passable, but the international buffet offers a great variety of dishes and unbeatable views of Bangkok. Go at night, right before sunset, to beat the crowds and to maximize the experience.</p>\n<p><strong>Chao Phraya River - Riverside Eats</strong><br />You\'ve got tons of options here, though mostly for tourists. There are high quality, reliable luxury options such as the restaurants in the Oriental and Shangri-la hotels. For delicious fine food consider getting picked up in a traditional teak boat by the Supatra River House, www.supatrariverhouse.net. Reservations recommended.</p>\n<p>Across the river from Wat Arun, adjacent to Tha Tien Pier, is a small shopping bazaar with a few cheap riverside eating options. Walk through the bazaar, in the direction of the river, to find the eateries.

There are a number of reasons - 1) Many offer very high quality services that are more interesting that more generic tourism packages. 2) They can take you to \"insider\" places. 3) Some of the companies listed below offer packages that will save you money (and time!). 4) Thailand, and especially it\'s culinary scene, can be difficult to navigate, in terms of the choice and wide range of quality. 5) Some tour companies, notably Global Taste Tours, is a sustainable tour operator, conscientious of being an agent of responsible tourism.</p>\n<p>We believe the best deals currently available are offered by Global Taste Tours, www.globaltastetours.com. These guys offer terrific customized culinary and cooking vacations in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. It seems they offer the best prices around.<br />High quality luxury options include the Artisans of Leisure http://www.artisansofleisure.com/ and Kensington tours http://www.kensingtontours.com/index.cfm Their tours are of a very high caliber, but will cost you about 1000 USD, or more, each day.<br />Two of the best cooking schools in the country are the Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School, http://www.thaicookeryschool.com/ and http://www.blueelephant.com/bangkok/index.html</p>\n</p>','','2009-01-31 20:08:17',1,'2009-01-31 20:08:17','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(611,33,'A famous Thai dish','a-famous-thai-dish','The best fried pork with holy basil','The question is: what makes ‘the best pad gra pow moo?’ It turns out that the answer, especially in Thailand, it is totally subjective. \n','<p><img height=\"250\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/benfink.jpg\" style=\"float: left; border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 4px; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" width=\"250\" />When I moved into a new apartment last week, my real estate agent Jan told me about an eatery that, \"makes the best pad gra pow moo. Go before 12, then too busy. Very, very good.\" <br />Jan pointed to a street stall was already closed by 3 in the afternoon. The tables had been abandoned; the portable kitchen cleaned and packed up, motorcycle taxi dudes had taken the place of customers and were lounging on plastic chairs. It didn\'t look particularly impressive, but her reverential tone, the tone usually reserved for the royal family, made me realize I had to try their holy basil fried pork.\n<p>For those unfamiliar, &lsquo;pad gra pow moo\' is a staple of the Thai diet. A version of the recipe can be found at http://www.realthairecipes.com/recipes/stir-fried-pork-with-holy-basil/. <br /><br />It is a relatively simple combination of ingredients, fried (often minced) pork with holy basil leaves, fiery chili peppers, and appropriate sauces. It is served over rice and many people order it with a fried egg (pad gra pow moo kai dow). In Thailand, virtually all eateries serving this dish have bowls of &lsquo;prik nam blaa\' (aka chilies floating in fish sauce). Scoop a few spoonfuls of this sauce onto your plate to really bring out the dish\'s salty and spicy nature.</p>\n<p>The question is: what makes &lsquo;the best pad gra pow moo?\' <br />It turns out that the answer, especially in Thailand, it is totally subjective. <br />A mangy street dog chasing a family of canal rats served as my pre-meal entertainment. So, you could say my appetite wasn\'t exactly whetted. My Thai friend sat across the table from me and therefore didn\'t get to enjoy the circus perform, and she thought it was quite good. Ultimately I\'d say this gra-pow vendor served good holy basil fried pork, but far from the best we\'d had.</p>\n<p>Most street vendors are as hygienic as restaurants with indoor seating - which is to say pretty high standards of hygiene - so don\'t get too scared. But when you are selecting your local street stall, definitely consider the factors below.<br /><br />1) If you already like a street vendor or restaurant, find out if they serve &lsquo;pad gra pow moo.\' Good chance they do.<br />2) Check out the ingredients. What you see is what you get. If the basil leaves don\'t look fresh or the leaves have dark wet looking edges, move on. If the chili peppers look soft or lousy in some way, keep moving. If the rice is uncovered and it looks like something is crawling inside the pot, it goes without saying. <br />3) Check out the clientele. Anybody else eating?<br />4) Check out the vendor. I\'ve seen nose-picking hawkers in touristy areas. Consider yourself warned.<br />5) Ask for recommendations. Especially dealing with food in Asia, a good tip can go a long way.<br />Feel free to send me info on your favorite restaurants and street vendors.

When I read about that meal, his last meal in 1992, I imagined that this delicacy had gone by the wayside. Environmental + cultural loss = loss of traditional dishes. Happily I was wrong (not the first time). Matter of fact, in Thailand\'s relatively modern Chiang Mai, you can still find red ant egg omelet.

Kind of chalky in substance, and somewhat bitter in taste, ants eggs have a great texture. To get the full effect, isolate an egg and pop it in your mouth. The broken embryo will run down your mouth and slide down the back of your throat. <br />Huan Soontaree ouside Chiang Mai is a great place to go to give fire ant egg omelette a shot. It is an absolutely top notch restaurant owned by the former star Soontaree Vechanont. She has been a well known northern Thai singer for almost 2 decades, now she is settled here and she serenades the audience 6 nights a week (excepting Sunday).

Most stalls are open Tuesday-Sunday 6PM-2AM. ','<p>Let me lay it to you straight - some of the world\'s best Thai food can be had for a pittance late night on Sukhumvit Soi 38. <br />Tuesday - Sunday nights, Suk Soi 38 is jam packed with loyal customers. Though many of the vendors open for business at 6PM, the heavier foot traffic starts rolling in around 10. Night owls find this Soi an ideal munchie haven both before and after a night at the nearby Thong Lor nightspots. Turns out Bangkok\'s hippest do, contrary to popular belief, consume more than whiskey and soda.\n<p>There are almost a dozen &lsquo;favorites\' here. Since all the stalls are of such high quality, it really depends on what you are in the mood for. The most acclaimed vendor, by yours truly (and national food critics), is the Phad Thai stall that can be found a few feet from the intersection of Soi 38 and Sukhumvit.</p>\n<p>I readily admit I\'m a sucker for Phad Thai, but the noodles here are so succulent you wonder if MSG (or something more sinister) was added to the noodles during the production process. Add chili flakes, peanuts, and a bit of sugar, and then enjoy the dish like there is no other. Because there isn\'t.</p>\n<p>Next stall down is a terrific noodle soup vendor. The egg noodles, red pork, and pork wantons are all quite nice and the Chinese men that run the joint are proud of their offerings. In a welcome twist to this standard meal is the crabmeat they can add. The crabmeat has been completely de-shucked and its naturally salty flavor permeates the broth.</p>\n<p>If a large dose of protein is what you crave, Suk 38 can fill you up. Lining the right side of the road (if walking from Sukhumvit) you\'ll find terribly addictive thinly roasted duck, top notch chicken satay, and excellent &lsquo;khao mun gai.\'</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Khao kaw moo (translation: ass kickin\' pig foot)\' is a personal favorite. Arriving from the daughter of the stall\'s owner, this dish is an alluring blend of lean and fatty meat. It comes with both blanched and pickled greens, which adds a welcome balance. The pork is tender enough to cut with a spoon, and the fatty bits giggle with the appropriate amount of giggliness. The peppers and garlic aren\'t sitting there to decorate the table - people, use the accoutrements to add to your dish to optimize your experience.</p>\n<p>Suk 38 is truly all-inclusive. Though I\'m stuffed after my mains, I can\'t help but finish my night here with one of the two mango sticky rice vendors that hold audiences here. Though my friend and I nearly came to blows after we disagreed about which one was better, this classic Thai dessert is a great way to cap a visit to Sukhumwit 38.</p>\n<p>Sukhumvit Soi 38 is easily accessible via Thong Lor BTS.

Although people won’t exactly stare at you, you’ll generally have little interaction with locals, apart from hotel and restaurant staff.','<p>My regional sightseeing trips took me to Myanmar last month. Due to limited time - just eight days - we only explored the capital Yangon and the nearby cities of Bago and Kyaiktiyo. I didn\'t want to rush around, so we skipped the great city of Mandalay and the must-see temple town of Bagan, destinations I was fortunate enough to visit some years ago. If you wonder why of all places I chose Myanmar, the availability of cheap Air Asia tickets (2,150 baht return from Bangkok), the abundant cultural sites and the fact that I had already visited most of Southeast Asia would be the main reasons.\n<p>I do realize that with the international condemnations and boycott following the recent trial on trumped-up criminal charges of pro-democracy icon and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, the Golden Land, as Myanmar is also called, is probably one of the least popular tourist destinations worldwide (together with Iraq and North Korea). Actually, these countries are part of what George Bush used to call the Axis of Evil, although Axis of Poor Infrastructure might be a more suitable moniker.</p>\n<p>Myanmar doesn\'t welcome a great many visitors these days, so the country isn\'t geared towards tourism like its Thai neighbour. Although people won\'t exactly stare at you, you\'ll generally have little interaction with locals, apart from hotel and restaurant staff. Also, although most people are either friendly or mind their own business, it is clear that many don\'t know how to deal with tourists, but they try. As Myanmar is not exactly the most prosperous Asian nation, local businesses could do with some extra cash and would welcome more independent tourists spreading their wealth around.</p>\n<p>Visiting Myanmar independently doesn\'t mean you\'re supporting the reviled military regime, as you\'ll spend most of your money in private businesses such as hotels, restaurants, local guides, regional handicrafts and bus companies. There are of course some moderate entry fees to the most interesting temple sites, but these seem to go towards the upkeep and restoration of the sites, an admirable feat for a cash-strapped country that teetered on the brink of civil war a few years back.</p>\n<p>Locals will have to learn to deal with travelling barbarians of course. For example, in downtown Yangon, there are numerous restaurants and teashops, yet there are hardly any tourists seen among the patrons. Lack of English menus, nobody to welcome you or usher you in and the fact that many establishments seem a men-only affair won\'t earn them many tourist dollars. Also, the crowded yet crumbling streets around Sule Paya that look like London after the Blitzkrieg don\'t provide a world-class culinary setting. Food is leaning mainly towards Indian, with biryani being served just about everywhere.</p>\n<p>Although there is no lack of hotels and guesthouses, insufficient guests and income apparently hinders upkeep and renovation. This isn\'t hard to understand when the country has fewer than 1,000 tourist arrivals daily - a mere fraction of the 50,000 revellers its Thai neighbour welcomes every day. This has basically put the whole country off the beaten track, something which might attract the more adventurous traveller.</p>\n<p>Although within in the country there are no visible signs of public disgruntlement with the hard-handed regime, this doesn\'t mean all is hunky dory. The Union of Myanmar, as it is officially called, is a quilt of seven divisions (mainly Bamar or Burmese) and seven different states (usually home to ethnic minorities, Shan State being the biggest). Many of the states have their own administration and separate armies and I wouldn\'t be surprised if future troubles or uprisings would lead to a Yugoslavia scenario, triggering the creation of a swath of new nations. Police and soldiers were nowhere to be seen during my visit. Perhaps they have retrenched or dug themselves in around the new capital of Naypyidaw, located somewhere in the jungle.</p>\n<p>Tourist-wise, Myanmar really has a lot of wonderful sights to offer. If it weren\'t for its international isolation and lack of infrastructure, it could rival Cambodia and Vietnam combined. Unfortunately, it\'ll probably take a couple of decades and billions of dollars before roads are fixed and power plants completed. It\'ll also take a new, democratic government and a massive injection of foreign aid and investment.</p>\n<p>Getting around the country can be daunting. There are lots of buses and even some train lines, but it often takes a lot longer to get from point A to B than you\'re used to. Flying is a quick and fairly affordable option (Air Bagan is one of the local airlines), but of course, you don\'t get to know the country very well doing so. As it stands now, travel is fairly easy but time-consuming. For example, the nearest beach is barely 100 kilometres from the capital, yet it takes four hours to get there and it is all but straightforward. Kyaiktiyo, home of the sacred and mind-boggling Golden Rock, is located just over 200 kilometres from the capital, but it almost takes a day to get to the top of the mountain (or vice versa). By the way, the person who designed the main bus station in Yangon ought to be hanged, drawn and quartered. Not only is it further from the city centre than the airport, it is also a cluttered and disorganised affair in the middle of nowhere.</p>\n<p>In Myanmar, a new taxi is usually less than 10 years old, while the average age of the whole fleet is probably closer to 25 years. Air-conditioning in taxis or on buses means windows (and possibly doors) open. Some cars, buses and trucks could have been called new just after the Second World War. In spite of these minor inconveniences, the Golden Land offers a treasure trove of temples, historical sites and ruins - and can be a photographer\'s dream. Visas allow you a stay of 28 days and can be obtained at local Burmese embassies (be polite and patient).</p>\n<p>In order to take it all in, the intrepid traveller will have to take his time, be patient and put up with a bit more hassle and a lot less luxury than in other countries. If you take the trouble though, you won\'t be disappointed. If you don\'t like to travel independently and make all arrangements yourself, you can hire a local guide with car to take you around the country for as long as you wish (30-50 USD per day, depending on your bargaining skills and quality of guide and vehicle). You will probably get to see a lot more of the country than when you travel by night bus. Finally, if you\'re married to a woman whose idea of having a good time is trolling around A/C shopping malls for bargains or brand name goods, I\'d go it alone or give it a miss altogether.</p>\n<p>Check out Philip\'s Myanmar photo portfolio on http://www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland\"&gt;www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland</p>\n</p>','','2009-08-01 14:12:37',1,'2009-08-01 14:12:37','2009-10-26 06:06:38'),(764,8,'Ni Hao','ni-hao','Travels in South-west China ',' visited Southwest China for the first time some five years ago and was surprised how advanced and modern China had become.

As a traveller, my first impression of China was quite positive. When I got a fair job offer a while ago to teach in Chengdu (Sichuan province), I decided to accept it up and move to the most populous nation on Earth. As living in a country is usually very different from travelling, I wasn\'t really sure what to expect so you could call it a calculated step into the unknown. So far, after almost a month, I haven\'t regretted a minute of it. Since I haven\'t had the time yet to soak it all up, this month\'s column will be a brief overview of what has captured my attention so far, especially in comparison to Thailand.\n<p>When I first went for a stroll after touching down, I noticed how quiet the city streets were. Although there are plenty of cars of all makes and origins, and associated traffic jams or rather stop-and-go traffic, there are still lots of bicycles to be seen on city streets. Many bicycles and most - if not all - motorbikes are electric and don\'t make any noise whatsoever. Bicycle lanes are abundant and pavements are incredibly wide and uncluttered. Although walking and cycling can still be done in Chinese metropolises without risking life or limbs, cars are king and drivers often don\'t give way to pedestrians unless there are traffic lights and zebra crossings. The free right turn spoils this though.</p>\n<p>Chinese food is excellent; ordering it, however, can be daunting if the restaurant doesn\'t have an English or picture menu. The average Chinese shopkeeper or waiter has very low or non-existent English skills. Tables usually sport real tissues or napkins instead of toilet paper like in Thailand. Local beer is drinkable, cheap and not very strong (avg. 3.6%). Drinking beer with ice would be considered an oddity. Although smoking is prohibited in many public places, some people still light up in restaurants and public toilets.</p>\n<p>Shopping opportunities are everywhere. There are several major shopping areas in the city with plenty of malls and supermarkets. The latter cater to both Chinese and western tastes. Imported products are available at higher but affordable prices. Local products are cheap and fresh. Seeing turtles on sale at Carrefour was a first for me though. And no, there weren\'t meant as pets, but were sold in the fresh foods department. There seem to be quite a few entertainment zones and venues as well, but I haven\'t had time to check them out yet.</p>\n<p>Living conditions are good, and the average size of apartments and condos is considerably bigger than in Bangkok. Forty square metres would be considered tiny in China. Most - if not all - places come fully furnished and include fridge, TV, washing machine, cooker, possibly microwave oven and A/C-heater combination, yet remain affordable. Renting always needs to be done via an estate agent, so you\'ll need some local help if you don\'t speak Chinese.</p>\n<p>When it comes to teaching English, there are very few good ESL resources available and course books from international publishers such as OUP, Macmillan, Longman or Cambridge are not available locally but need to be ordered. By the way, the one-child policy the Chinese authorities have imposed for decades now makes &lsquo;Family\' units in course books virtually redundant, since most people don\'t have any brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers-in-law or sisters-in-laws.</p>\n<p>Zai jian (goodbye) for now.</p>\n<p>Check out Philip\'s photo portfolio on www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland.</p>\n</p>','','2009-09-01 14:15:47',1,'2009-09-01 14:15:47','2009-10-26 06:06:48'),(765,8,'Great  Expectations','great-expectations','When parents of students are simply too demanding','The demands and expectations that some parents burden their children with are alas often too great. At the moment I’m teaching a kid who hasn’t even turned six, yet his life revolves solely around learning.','<p>When it comes to learning English (or any other foreign language) there are no secret recipes, nor guarantees on how quickly a student will improve or become proficient. Studying a language involves a lot of hard work including practice, repetition and revision.</p>\n<h3>Unrealistic</h3>\n<p>Students - or parents of students - who think that their or their offspring\'s English skills will skyrocket in a short period of time are nurturing unrealistic expectations. Getting better at English is not something which happens overnight, but depends on a lot of variables.</p>\n<p>Apart from the hard work I already mentioned, students should ideally have a purpose for studying English.</p>\n<p>Trying to teach English to a student who has absolutely no desire to learn it and thinks that being in the classroom is a complete waste of time is tantamount to mission impossible. Without purpose, motivation or willingness to learn, students will hardly ever get anywhere.</p>\n<p>What I\'ve written so far isn\'t new or earth-shattering; it\'s just that I wanted to revisit this topic because I feel that sometime parents are pushing their children too hard when it comes to education.</p>\n<h3>Time to be a child</h3>\n<p>Although I wholeheartedly agree that getting a decent education is one of the most important things in one\'s young life, we shouldn\'t forget that there is a time to study and a time to play. Having fun and being allowed to horse around and just be kids shouldn\'t be denied to anyone.</p>\n<p>The demands and expectations that some parents burden their children with are alas often too great. At the moment I\'m teaching a kid who hasn\'t even turned six, yet his life revolves solely around learning.</p>\n<p>Although little &lsquo;Jimmy\' lives in China, his spoken English approaches that of a native because he lived for several years in Canada. In kindergarten he already started learning basic phonics, so he is able to read many 3-letter words. He\'s quite good at writing the alphabet as well.</p>\n<h3>Hard parents</h3>\n<p>One should think that his parents ought to be as pleased as punch about his accomplishments so far, yet nothing seems further from the truth.</p>\n<p>Instead of rewarding him and allowing him some time to play after a long school day in first grade, he is dragged three times a week to tutoring classes in order to improve his English.</p>\n<p>This in itself would be acceptable if he was just given the opportunity to practice and enhance his English skills in a relaxing environment. It would also be easier for the teacher that he wasn\'t overly tired when attending classes, especially not to the point of physically falling asleep.</p>\n<p>Instead, his parents came up with a wish list of nearly impossible demands, including intensive vocabulary building, reading and writing.</p>\n<p>They mentioned that they expected the boy to be able to write essays after one year of study (that\'s just before he\'ll turn seven). Well, to be honest, not real essays, but just sentences and stories about his life and surroundings. But still, these are not exactly the favourite leisure activities of a young boy.</p>\n<p>Detailed lessons plans from the teacher on how to achieve this were part of the demand package, plus a phone call from a sibling criticizing the materials used for being too easy (remember that the boy can\'t even read most words). Mission impossible if there ever was one.</p>\n<p>It is often said that parents are the best teachers. I agree, but only when it comes to certain life skills, such as teaching children how to speak their mother tongue when they\'re young, teaching them table and other manners, how to ride a bicycle and fly a kite.</p>\n<h3>The worst teachers</h3>\n<p>When it comes to teaching kids a foreign language or mathematics, parents are often the worst teachers imaginable. Not only are they too demanding, they also don\'t seem to realize what they are putting their children through. Not to mention their criticism of experienced and qualified teachers who have been doing this for years.</p>\n<p>I think it is a wonderful idea to give someone a head start in life. Tutoring centres can play an important role in this process, especially if children aren\'t getting the necessary education they deserve in school. However, parents and students\' expectations alike should remain realistic when they sign up for classes.</p>\n<p>As said, the student\'s hard work, motivation and cooperation are every bit as important as the instructor\'s experience, attitude and teaching skills. Miracles don\'t happen in this world and as I\'ve said before, you can lead a horse to water, but you can\'t make it drink.</p>\n<p>Check out Philip\'s photo portfolio on www.flickr.com/photos/philiproeland.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-09-03 20:18:32',1,'2015-09-03 20:18:32','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(766,4,'My tango with Tony the Tarantula','my-tango-with-tony-the-tarantula','Dodging the TEFL scammers','There will always be people like Tony, or worse, in this industry.

Wouldn\'t you agree?</p>\n<p>Also, my tourist visa expires on the 19th of this month, so I will have to go to Laos to apply for a non-immigrant B visa. I told you about this and you seemed to have no idea how to go about applying for one or about providing me with the documents necessary in getting one. Frankly, I find that strange since you are a recruiter who has dealt with many teachers before.</p>\n<p>Mr. Tony, I am a serious teacher looking to work for a school that will appreciate me and the effort I put into teaching. I deserve to see the school, meet the teachers, and see the apartment near the school when I want or need to. Not when it is convenient for you.</p>\n<p>You seem to be a very deceptive man. I am not. I am a dedicated teacher who wants to work hard for his students and make some money as well. Look at what you promised me in your previous emails. The agreement you showed me was far different than what your previous emails to me suggested. There is no 45,000 Baht net, but 37,000 Baht a month net. (I realize that this includes 2 free meals each day at the school.) Fair enough. That\'s good. Perhaps your emails should have said 37,000 Baht net a month, including 2 free meals a day at the school.</p>\n<p>Mr. Tony, I know that as a recruiter you are making money from employing me at the school. It is either a one-time lump sum from the school, or most probably, the money that you are making from me is being taken from my paycheck every month. I would like to know which one it is. I would like to see the contract that you have with \"the school in question.\" As a serious and dedicated teacher, I think that\'s fair and I am entitled to see this.</p>\n<p>So Mr. Tony, if you are willing to work fairly with me, then I am more than willing to work fairly with you. Like I said at our meeting this afternoon, it works both ways. So it\'s now up to you. Show me the school and the apartment before I\'m scheduled to move in, (in the agreement we both signed this afternoon, didn\'t it say something about free accommodation?), let me speak with Philip and the other teachers at the school, and show me the contract that you have with the school which will say how much money you are making from me and the other teachers.</p>\n<p>Fair enough? I think so. In closing I want to say that I am an honest and fair-minded man. I hope you are too.</p>\n<p>Sincerely,</p>\n</p>\n<p>Steve Schertzer.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>As you can see, I was trying to be diplomatic. Not easy for me. Difficult as hell, in fact. I received a response from \"Tony the Tarantula\" two days later. I immediately shot back a response. Diplomacy be damned! For the sake of space, I have combined the two emails.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>9/08/2009</p>\n<p>\n<p>Hi Steve,</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>I got your email dated Thursday, August 6, 2009 3:44 AM with many thanks. I don\'t totally understand for such a long email that you wrote to me after you left my office for a while and I was alleged to be a deceptive man just you want to let me inform you some unimportant information.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>Unimportant information? Such as meeting or speaking with teachers already working at the school? Looking at the school and the apartment on my own time before I start? That kind of \"unimportant\" information? My God, we can\'t have teachers doing that now, can we? Soon teachers will start asking to be appreciated and respected. Heaven forbid!</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>-I have explained all of the details both via my emails as sent before you came to sign an agreement and I also told you while talking in the presence of you at my office, I think that just a simple mathematics as explained even normal people they will understand well, after you signed an agreement with me but why a well educated teacher as you mentioned yourself tries to not understand.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>Simple mathematics? Like the 5,000 baht a month I will save on breakfast and lunch in the school canteen? 5,000 baht for two meals a day in a Bangkok school? What in the world is on the menu, steak tartar? Lobster in a creamy white wine sauce? I\'ve seen Thai breakfasts and lunches sold on the streets of Pratunam for 20 baht each. With a fried egg on top! Multiply that by 20 days and you have 800 baht for two meals a day. Okay, say 30 baht a meal. That\'s 1,200 baht a month for two meals a day. Where in the world do you get 5,000 baht? I\'m sure the rich students are paying that as well.</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>-I informed you everything those I learnt from foreign teachers\' behavior those they did with me but you are always arbitrary try to request me as you like and there was no any other teachers asked me to see my contract with the school it was very strange thing I have never met before, and what for how much money I made it is not concern with you at all, I think that you are doing something very strange, are you O.K. I am not sure.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>Personally, I don\'t care how much money you make. As long as you don\'t make any money off my labor. I am the only one who makes money off my labor. Seeing the contract you have with the schools is every teacher\'s right.</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>At the first met it seems that you are an unreliable man but I want to try and see what will be happened so I spoke to you since the beginning that are you definitely sure to attend the school on the first day of the semester\' opening, but you have not any guaranteed; as my sentience feel that you may fail to fulfill your promise so I asked you for keeping your passport and /or your certificates but you refused all.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>Like I told you, my passport is the property of the Canadian government. Feel free to contact the Government of Canada and request the holding of my passport if that would please you. As for my university degrees and TESOL certificate, they are mine and will remain in my possession at all times.</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>I have been doing in many activities in educational services for a long time, every teacher those have been working with me are very happy. If you think that you want to do everything at will, it is not allowed here, as you told me that you used to sign an agreement with other company and they canceled your position before taking you to school, it might be definitely in the same behavior that you have done with me in this time.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>I have been teaching for a long time and can spot a shark in the TEFL industry from a mile away. Everyone of your teachers are happy? Really? Then give me their phone numbers so that I can hear the glee and laughter in their voice. Oh please, I want to experience their happiness. I want them to tell me what an honest and wonderful man you are. We\'ll start with three teachers, okay?</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>Fortunately I have not informed you the information of my staff and the school if not you might go to create a lot of dissensions with them and will cause me a lot of problems.</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>Oh so that\'s why you\'re not giving me phone numbers of some of the teachers? Because you believe that I will \"create a lot of dissentions with them and will cause a lot of problems.\" Oh Mr. Tony, please forgive me. I didn\'t realize that I was such a bad person. And here I am in Bangkok just trying to get by and make a living without being taken advantage of by a slimy recruiter who wants to make money off my labor. How can I be so stupid?</p>\n<p>(Tony)</p>\n<p>If you are so conceited I think that it is still not too late, I can call any other applicants and you can find other job that you select which employer is the best as you imagined or as my suggestion you should go back home to Canada soon, why do you come to find a job in Thailand .</p>\n<p>(Steve)</p>\n<p>It\'s not a matter of being conceited, Mr. Tony. It\'s a matter of being careful. I\'m sure an intelligent man as yourself understands the importance of being careful. Why did I come to Thailand? Because a lot of students will benefit from my kind and dedicated teaching. That\'s not being conceited, Mr. Tony. That\'s being confident.</p>\n<p>One question: Would you want your children to go through the very same things that many kind and dedicated teachers here go through when dealing with slimy and unscrupulous recruiters? I hope not. If you believe that your children deserve to be treated with dignity and respect when looking for employment, then so do everyone else\'s children. Think about that, Mr. Tony.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Steve.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>Now it gets interesting. This is the last email I received from \"Tony the Tarantula.\"</p>\n<p>12/08/2009</p>\n<p>Steve,</p>\n<p>Please don\'t send anymore emails to me further, I don\'t want to waste my time and my energy to associate with a meaningless or without substance person like you anymore and it will not cover my cost at all to do so. As I suggested you that you have better to go back to Canada soon, that is correct because Thai people are not pleased to welcome a person like you, we can find good and qualified teachers to teach English, even without you we can use and speak English well enough no need to cite that you come here because the Thai students want you to teach them, in fact the foreign teachers like you come just want to come for whoring in in the other hands Thai women they just wanted to cheat your money and one more reason that you cannot find works in your own home town due to you are inferior in qualification, comparing if not working in your own home town you will get many times more income than you getting here, I known your lineage and your background very well, so I known that why are you coming to find a teaching job in Thailand but I guaranteed that you cannot teach well, and the significant thing is that your voice is female\'s voice that has no any power at all, it shown weakness and nonsense as well as your manner is not a practical Caucasian I dare to say that you are not a good teacher I certified; any students who are taught will get nothing from you, amen.</p>\n<p>Be careful that you are a foreigner don\'t try to look for any trouble here, it is not your home Canada , but it is Thailand remember. One more time Be informed that don\'t send any reply to me; I have blocked your email counting from now.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Tony.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\"Tony the Tarantula\" blocked me from his email. How mature. (I stick my fingers in my ears and shout: \"Na nanana Naaaaa!!! I can\'t hear youuuu!!!!\") Hey, that felt good. Who cares what \"Tony the Tarantula\" thinks and says? Like I said, he is just one of TEFL\'s many whores. In fact, from my experience in this industry and from the experiences of others, Tony is not one of the most horrible people out there. There are a lot worse. Now isn\'t that frightening? But he, and many others like him, should not be ignored.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Aside from the personal insults,</p>\n<p>\"...your voice is female\'s voice and has no power at all...\"</p>\n<p>(I talk like a girl? Really? Like, really? Like, OMG!!! Do I throw like one too? I can\'t wait to text Amber and Tiffany. Oh I\'m like, so excited!)</p>\n<p>\"...your manner is not a practical Caucasian...\"</p>\n<p>I hope that doesn\'t mean what I think it does.</p>\n<p>Tony and his ilk represent a nightmare for those like myself who just want to teach and make a positive difference in the lives of students. He may be an obstacle, but he\'s a huge obstacle in the face of so many facts--- good and bad--- that are out there in the English teaching world.</p>\n<p>Tony and his ilk are not a problem for those itinerant EFL teachers, (part-time backpackers who just want to experience Southeast Asia for six or 12 months.) And he knows it.</p>\n<p>\"... in fact the foreign teachers [like you] come just want to come for whoring in the other hands they just want to cheat your money...\"</p>\n<p>Tony\'s own words in his final email to me. Tony knows why many teachers are here. So does his ilk. So do school principals and directors. So do other teachers. So do ex-wives. That\'s why it is such a nightmare for good quality teachers to come here and try to do good. Perception, in this part of the world, seems to be everything. And the millions of whoring backpackers who file in and out of here every year are certainly not helping that perception.</p>\n<p>If the whole whoring situation really concerns you, Tony, (personally, I don\'t think it does), then why not try and do something about it? Why aren\'t you? Because the mobs of whoring backpackers posing as English teachers are keeping you (and your ilk) in business. These mobs of whoring backpackers are keeping your family in that nice suburban villa. They are helping to keep your wife in full sartorial splendor. They keep your children in expensive international schools where they are given English names like Matthew and Tiffany. So Tony (and your ilk), don\'t bite the hand that feeds you.</p>\n<p>\"...in the other hands they [the Bangkok bar girls, I presume] just want to cheat your money...\"</p>\n<p>Oh. Sort of like you, Tony? You know a thing or two about cheating people out of money. The 8,000 baht a month that you wanted to take from my paycheck for example. The difference between a whore like you, Tony, and a whore on Patpong? At least the whores on Patpong give their customers some pleasure in return.</p>\n<p>I know I\'m being tough on \"Tony the Tarantula.\" There are worse than him in the industry. Far worse. But it\'s nice to know that I can spot these TEFL whores from a mile away and give them a piece of my mind. (Albeit a small piece. I think I\'ve lost most of my mind after so many years in this business.)</p>\n<p>There will always be people like Tony, or worse, in this industry. Just as there will always be hordes of backpacking sex-tourists posing as English teachers. This industry, like any other, is obsessed with money and power. And where there is money, there are pimps and whores. A lot of them. Welcome to the TEFL-A-Go-go. Happy hour is from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Two adjectives for the price of one. Nice. Cool. (Is cool an adjective?)</p>\n<p>I will end with a warning from \"Tony the Tarantula\'s\" last email to me. then I will respond.</p>\n<p>\"...Be careful that you are a foreigner don\'t try to look for any trouble here, it is not your home Canada , but this is Thailand remember...\"</p>\n<p>My response: \"F*ck You!\"</p>\n<p>Actually, I was hoping for something more intelligent, more eloquent. I\'ll try again.</p>\n<p>My response: \"Oh Tony, pull down your pants so that I can kiss your ass. Please, I beg you. Drop you trousers. I am honored and deeply moved that you have chosen me above all others. I can only hope to be a teacher truly worthy of your confidence in me. That you will skim 20 percent off every monthly paycheck of mine is but a small price to pay for your generosity. I only wish I can give you more, but as you know, I am only in Bangkok for the cheap beer and cheaper women. I weep with joy and mild trepidation as I await the beginning of the school year. I do hope and pray that I can last the 12 months of the contract because, as you know Tony, the ladies just want our money.\"</p>\n<p>That wasn\'t exactly what I was going for. Okay, one last time.</p>\n<p>My response: \"I am fully aware that Thailand is not like Canada. We are a nation of laws. In Canada people like you are jailed for the unethical antics you pull. Don\'t try to look for trouble here? No Tony. I don\'t look for trouble. Trouble finds me. And you know what? I don\'t mind because trouble comes with the job. It comes with the territory. It comes with speaking out and being a dedicated teacher. So trouble and I--- we go way back.</p>\n<p>One last thing, \"Tony the Tarantula\" (and his ilk): As long as there are students longing for an education, as long as children hope and dream of a better future, as long as little boys and little girls with untapped potential remain either out of school or in classrooms with burned-out or uncaring teachers, I will scream at the top of my lungs. I don\'t care if the culprits are sub-par backpacker teachers who are here just for the beer and women, or greedy recruiters and school directors who put profit over people. I will cause trouble. For those voiceless children who can only dream of a decent education, I will be their voice. And so will many other dedicated teachers. So Tony, (and your ilk), deal with me. Because I\'m not going away.\"</p>\n</p>','','2009-09-01 14:34:32',1,'2009-09-01 14:34:32','2009-10-26 06:06:33'),(767,4,'Show me that you love me','show-me-that-you-love-me','The Bangkok freak show, and my response to John Wilson.','Last month John Wilson, the director of a Language Institute in Thailand, wrote an article for www.ajarn.com. It was an article about creating a good impression at job interviews.','<p>I should say from the start that I have absolutely nothing against looking good. I have nothing against smelling good either. I can apply aftershave and deodorant along with the best of them. But if I see another article from a director of an institute lecturing English teachers on how to dress, talk, walk, and smell, I\'m going to burst a blood vessel.\n<p>I have been writing articles, columns, and blog entries for ajarn.com since 2004. I have received countless letters from well qualified, caring, and dedicated teachers who have spent weeks, sometimes months in Bangkok looking for a good job. Did I mention that they dress well? Maybe not Armani suits, but hey, what can you expect when you\'re jobless in Bangkok?</p>\n<p>Appearances to Thais are more important than qualifications? Really? I don\'t know about that. Important, yes. Very important? Yes. More important than qualifications? That\'s like so third world. So Hollywood come Oscar night. Once school directors start putting looking good above doing good, then schools deserve the teachers they get.</p>\n<p>A man wearing a Dire Straits T-shirt with crumbs on his mustache. A seedy-looking woman wearing a faded cotton dress. Teachers with body-piercings and tattoos showing up at job interviews. American high-schools and colleges are full of teachers who spend their lunch periods picking fleas out of their beards. (And the men are even worse!) I\'m not making excuses for these people. It\'s impossible to defend the antics of many so-called English teachers in this part of the world. Many are just young kids who just want to experience Southeast Asia while others are post-60\'s hippies who pine for a return of the \"good old days\", or perhaps missed them altogether.</p>\n<p>Here\'s a thought, Mr. Wilson: Don\'t hire them. We all know that Bangkok is a freak show. That\'s not news. Enjoy your interview with the bearded lady or the three-legged teacher, then boot them out of your air-conditioned office if that pleases you.</p>\n<p>Here\'s another thought, Mr. Wilson: If you don\'t hire them, somebody else will. There\'s always some nut bag or fruitcake in this industry who salivates at the thought of some foreign freak with three eyes or two noses to place in front of a class. The classroom could be in Thailand, Korea, China, or Timbuktu. That\'s the nature of this industry. There\'s a whole other side to your \"First Impressions Count\" philosophy, and this is it.</p>\n<p>Charles Manson can step off an American Airlines flight tomorrow, take a taxi from Suvarnabhumi to just about any language school and land a teaching gig faster than you can say \"Helter Skelter.\" That\'s another truth of this industry. Somebody is hiring these people or else they wouldn\'t be here. And there wouldn\'t be so many of them. You see, looking like a bohemian does have its advantages in the Bangkok freak show.</p>\n<p>Looking good is very important, but it\'s not the be all and end all of one\'s work experience here. Remember John Mark Karr, the weirdo who confessed to killing Jon Benet Ramsey? He taught at a school in Bangkok too. He dressed well too, better than most of the other English teachers. Thailand is full of impeccably dressed pedophiles.</p>\n<p>You can show up to the interview in an Armani suit, a silk tie, cuff links, and alligator shoes. You can speak with all the authority of the leader of the free world. You can smell like a pine forest on a hot Bangkok afternoon. But at the end of the day, you\'re still nothing more than a foreign freak with three eyes or two noses. That\'s what Thais, Koreans, the Chinese, the Japanese, and just about everyone else sees when we go to an interview. That\'s what \"appearances are more important than qualifications\" really means in this industry.</p>\n<p>Speaking of interviews, I was at one last month. In his email, Mr. Tony promised me 45,363.64 baht a month net to teach all subjects at a private school. I go to his office. By the way, I was wearing gray trousers, a plain white shirt, and a conservative tie, along with nice loafers to match my pants. Very chic! I filled out an application and waited for five minutes. Mr. Tony comes out to meet me. We small talk. He tells me a bit about the school. Then he shows me an agreement that he wants me to sign. I read it over. It says that I will make 37,000 baht net per month. I ask about the 45,000 baht and change he mentioned in his email. He says, \"Oh, I pay you for your vacation. That is 3,000 baht more per month. Then you get two free meals in the school canteen every day. That is 5,000 baht per month that you don\'t pay. So that\'s 45,363.64.\"</p>\n<p>You see where I\'m going with this. Let\'s call this Thai math. Actually, Mr. Tony was Chinese but that doesn\'t matter. That\'s the nature of the industry, remember? The other side.</p>\n<p>Five thousand baht for meals in the school canteen? What in the world is for lunch, steak tartar? Lobster in a creamy white wine sauce? I\'ve seen Thai lunches for 20 baht. With a fried egg on top! I asked Mr. Tony about a non-immigrant B visa and the documents he would need to give me to apply for one. He had no idea how to go about applying for this visa.</p>\n<p>I asked when he would take me to see the school. After you sign an agreement with me, he answered. I asked if I could speak with teachers at he school. After you sign an agreement with me, he replied. You see a pattern here? You gotta love the Bangkok freak show.</p>\n<p>(You can read our exchange of emails also posted on ajarn.com this month. It\'s called \"My Tango With Tony the Tarantula: Pimps and Whores in the TEFL-A-Go-go.\" Fascinating stuff.) Read article.</p>\n<p>Okay so I went against my better judgment and saw a recruiter. I know I have to stop doing that, but I was bored sitting in my room watching CNN. Unlike Korea where recruiters take a one-time lump sum from the school, here at the Bangkok freak show recruiters have been known to skim money every month from teacher\'s paychecks. About twenty percent of a teacher\'s monthly salary can end up in a recruiter\'s pocket. Or in somebody\'s pocket. Certainly not mine.</p>\n<p>Many language schools are not much better, Mr. Wilson. I\'m sure you know that. I recently applied for a full-time EFL teacher\'s position at a well-known Bangkok institution. They boast five branches in the Greater Metropolitan Area. Let\'s see if we can guess which school I\'m talking about. (Hint: It\'s where the New York Stock Exchange is located. Got it? Okay, let\'s try another hint. It\'s the title of an Academy Award winning movie staring Michael Douglas. Oh I love this game! I wish I could play it all day!)</p>\n<p>Anyway, the interview was fine. I dressed well. The salary was 47,500 for five days a week. I wanted this job. I could see myself working there. Thing is, those five days a week could include, (and usually does), Saturday and Sunday. I wanted at least one of those days free to pursue some part-time work. They could not guarantee either a Saturday or a Sunday off. So I went back to my room to think about it.</p>\n<p>I emailed the title of the Michael Douglas movie school some time later to request a compromise. I will give you my weekends, I said, if you will let me work six days a week for 62,000-63,000 baht a month. I can teach seven days a week for more, if you like. Their response. Maybe the New York Stock Exchange location school is not for you. But we will keep you on file if anything comes up.</p>\n<p>Ah-ha! So they take the teacher\'s evenings and weekends, offer a limited salary with no chance of overtime or extra classes to earn more money, and expect the teachers to kiss their ring. I\'m not maligning this school. During the interview it did seem that they were serving the students well. But I am ambitious and I should never feel that I should apologize for wanting to work extra hours for more money. I hope you are not one of those schools, Mr. Wilson. One of those schools that play God with teacher\'s hours and pay. \"We only have eight hours a week for you this term, Ricky. Sorry about that. But hey, you sure look good in that suit. And that silk tie really brings out the colour of your eyes.\"</p>\n<p>English teachers are not the only buffoons in the TEFL industry. I\'ve been to interviews which would make a Marx Brothers movie look absolutely normal by comparison. So here I am, dressed in my Sunday best, (and it\'s only Wednesday!) I step into Miss Wonsipoon\'s office and sit down on a nice padded chair. \"How are you, Jason?\", she asks.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m fine, but I have no idea who Jason is. My name is Steve.\"</p>\n<p>She looks down at a resume. \"Oh, so did you major in Psychology in America?\"</p>\n<p>Obviously not my resume.</p>\n<p>\"No. I majored in Philosophy in Canada.\" Nice to see she was prepared. When Michael Jackson\'s life starts to make more sense than the Bangkok freak show, it may be wise to ask yourself some very serious questions. For instance, \"What the f**k am I doing here?!?!\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve been offered jobs here, Mr. Wilson. Jobs that sound like something you\'d read about in \"The Great Gatsby\" and other novels coming out of the Great Depression.</p>\n<p>\"We\'ll give you $900.00 a month, Mr. Steve. But we can only pay you for 10 months. So you can have a nice two month vacation with no pay. And because the school is poor, we have no health insurance for our workers. And no dental plan either, so I hope you have strong teeth. And we can\'t give you a work permit, so you\'ll have to hop the border every 90 days. Enjoy your stay in Thailand.\"</p>\n<p>No thank you. I have worked very hard over the years and know exactly what I deserve. These 30,000 baht a month jobs in Bangkok are fine for 25 year olds or 65 year olds. I must admit that between 25 and 65, the money is nice and certainly comes in handy. Personally, I don\'t think that 60,000 baht a month for a full six days a week is asking too much.</p>\n<p>I put most language school directors, recruiters, and supervisors in the same category with pimps, tuk-tuk drivers and Patpong hookers. They\'re all after the same thing: Money. This industry is so obsessed with money as to make Bernie Madoff green with envy. So let\'s get that out into the open. In our part of the world, money talks. Here it screams.</p>\n<p>Many of the emails I\'ve received from disgruntled but dedicated teachers over the years, say that most Thais, (or Koreans or the Chinese, Japanese, etc.), can\'t tell the difference between a real teacher and a sex tourist. You know what? Neither can foreigners. Not until it\'s too late. That\'s another thing we lie about.</p>\n<p>I know that expats (farangs) don\'t like to be pimped out by their Thai employers to interview other expats (farangs.) That point is painfully obvious to anyone who has had the misfortune to interview with one of these lackies. Sorry for the brutal language here, but I\'m getting sick and tired of being in the same room with farang interviewers 15-20 years my junior who have shown me little more than mistrust and disdain because I want to work hard to help the students succeed. I am made to feel like I am trying to hone in on their job, whatever the hell that is. The assistant to the assistant\'s assistant. The only white boy on staff who can ask with a straight face, \"So, what is your teaching philosophy?\"</p>\n<p>At a recent interview at a Bangkok Christian school, the farang assistant to the assistant\'s assistant had no idea who I was. He had not read my resume prior to the interview and had not read my introduction letter which accompanied it. Perhaps I didn\'t get the job because I was not qualified enough for the grade 2 homeroom teacher\'s job for which I was interviewing. Fair enough. But at least the farang interviewer could have prepared himself. And he could have regarded me as more than an annoyance; a scheduled interruption in an otherwise spectacular day in the Land of Smiles.</p>\n<p>Schools should not be pimping out their responsibility for finding good quality teachers to other foreign teachers who don\'t give a crap. Or to some slimy recruiting agency who obviously does not have the best interests of the students at heart. It\'s stupid and dangerous, and perpetuates the third-world backwards thought that this society, and many others, has been mired in for centuries.</p>\n<p>In your short article, Mr. Wilson, a lot was said about the sartorial obligation of teachers, but nary a word was mentioned about actual teaching. Nothing was said about pedagogy or methodology. (Perhaps that would have made you sound pompous but hey, that\'s why we\'re here, right? To teach.) Nothing was said about dedication and personal commitment to the teaching profession. Nothing was said about a teacher\'s obligation to establish a rapport with his students. Nothing was said about the love a teacher should feel, (for his students and the teaching profession), whenever he steps into the classroom. I\'m sure you meant well, but teaching is a lot more than looking the part.</p>\n<p>So here\'s my message to you as a language school director, Mr. Wilson. It\'s the same message that I have for every school who seeks to hire good quality teachers. Show me that you love me. Show me that you care. Show me that you really, really, really want good quality teachers in your school. Dedicated teachers who put the interests of the students first. Ambitious teachers who want to work. Kind teachers who love what they do. Show me the respect that teachers like this deserve. Show me that you value them. And then--- show me the money. Show me the moneeeeeeeeey! SHOW ME THE MONNNNEEEEEYYYYY!!!!!! Because good quality teachers deserve to be well compensated for their hard work and dedication.</p>\n<p>Learn to distinguish between good quality teachers and sex tourists. It\'s not that difficult. Do some research. Do a background check. Prepare yourself for the interview. Ask the right questions. Ask for demo lessons. As many as you want until you are satisfied. Put surveillance cameras in the classrooms. I don\'t care how expensive they are. Observe the teachers in action. We all have a responsibility for the children under our care.</p>\n<p>Here\'s something else especially for those in Thailand. Have the documents for a non-immigrant B visa ready from the get-go. Hand out work visas for good quality dedicated teachers like candy. I know this is an Immigration thing. So work closely, like teeth and gums, with the Immigration Department to ensure that ALL good quality teachers possess the proper and required documentation so that they can be legally employed.</p>\n<p>These are the obligations and responsibilities that everyone in this profession has. It goes well beyond wearing the right clothes or sounding like James Earl Jones in a cave. It goes straight to the heart of taking your responsibilities seriously, never passing the buck, and consistently doing the right thing. First impressions may count. But it is every other impression and action after that that will either make you or break you.</p>\n<p>I don\'t care how much teachers pay for their clothes. I don\'t care how many silk ties Johnny has. Or how many pairs of leather pumps Miss Farangteacher owns. It doesn\'t matter what anyone\'s father does for a living, or whether their mother is a housewife or a CEO. If you\'re a good, caring, qualified, and dedicated teacher, you\'re hired. If you stink on ice and make no effort to teach well, you\'re history. That\'s the way the real world works.</p>\n<p>I don\'t mean to sound rough, Mr. Wilson. I know that there are some capable and competent language school directors who do look out for the best interests of the students in their school. It seems like you\'re one of them. If that\'s the case, then I thank you for that. My objective here was to present a small part of the other side. A side with so many seedy and dodgy characters, that I feel sick to my stomach whenever I have to meet someone from this industry.</p>\n<p>This industry need a lot of fixing, Mr. Wilson. I\'m sure you\'ll agree with that. First and foremost this industry needs teachers who care about the lives of students. Second, it needs school principals, vice-principals, and administrators who care about the lives of students. Third, it needs language school directors and legitimate recruiters who care about the lives of students. Forth, okay I\'m beginning to see a pattern here.</p>\n<p>Let\'s focus on what is really important.</p>\n</p>','','2009-09-02 14:40:12',1,'2009-09-02 14:40:12','2009-10-26 06:06:13'),(768,31,'Aim high, fly high, be united','aim-high-fly-high-be-united','A.K.A. Attarax is your friend','A report from a well-attended academic event in Bangkok','<p>I recently had the pleasure of taking part in The Central Region English Program Open House at The Mall Ngamwongwan in Bangkok. Its theme was \"Aim High, Fly High, Be United\". I wasn\'t sure whether I felt like joining The Air Force or calling my travel agent first. Instead, I packed my overnight bag, all of my exemplary students work and went off into the sunset and the bowels of the overnight air conditioned coach to Ekkamai.\n<p>It was a rousing success. There were a number of garbled speeches through substandard speaker systems, plenty of cheerleaders, unintelligible speeches by bigwig talking heads and eight, yes eight, different versions of \"Hero\" by Mariah Carey. Each one tugged the heartstrings more than the last. Oh, I almost forgot. There was also a ballerina dancing around in front of the stage! Now how\'s THAT for fantabulastic?! The cacophony of 30 or more different schools each doing something noisy, plus two stages on which some song that would make an M1 girl cry were being belted out, was enough to make me wish I had brought my earplugs. But hey...when in Rome right? Farang kit mak!</p>\n<p>There were booths for every single school with an EP in The Central Region. We had to present some our students best work, make sure we had plenty of slick, expensive brochures to pass out and be on hand to answer such hard hitting questions as:<br />- \"How much of an under the table payment do I need to make to ensure that my <br />child gets a spot? <br />- \"Are all of your teachers farang hua dang?\"<br />- \"Can my child take his cell-phone into the classroom?\"<br />- \"Since I am paying so much, do you guarantee that my child will get a good <br />grade?\"</p>\n<p>My fellow teachers and I arrived, as ordered, at 8 a.m. After a delicious and nutritious McDonalds \"bake-faht\" we proceeded to the front doors of The Mall. Of course they were locked. We looked around for some signs that would, perhaps, point us to an alternative entrance. Would you believe it? There weren\'t any!</p>\n<p>With a hopeful smile upon my visage and a spring in my step, I proceeded to ask Mr. Somnuek the security guard if he, perchance, knew how we could get up to the 4th floor? (I asked him in Thai.) His answer, after a full minute of brow bending inner deliberation was \"Mai roo.\"</p>\n<p>So I decided to call Ajarn #@&amp;*%$, The Head of EP at our school. Surprisingly enough, her phone was turned off. So we went back into McDonalds and waited for the inevitable phone call. I knew, from past experience, what sort of things and atmosphere were waiting for us upstairs. So I decided to head to the bathroom to take an Atarax!</p>\n<p>Let me tell you about Atarax, I beg you! Forget teaching degrees, experience, common sense, dedication or any of that malarkey right now mister or miss! Atarax just MAY be the single most useful teaching tool the EP teacher here has at their disposal. Hear my words newbies! Atarax! (OK, \"word\", not \"words\" but you get the picture.)</p>\n<p>They come in 10 or 25 milligram tablets, are completely legal and can be found anywhere. They are advertised as \"an antihistamine with a pleasantly sedative effect.\" I recommend the 25 mil ones. Ahhhhhhh.</p>\n<p>After taking one you are (almost) as mellow, relaxed and laid back as after having smoked a Backwoods and taken a mild &lsquo;Lude. PLUS your nasal passages are clear! WHAT\'S not to love?!</p>\n<p>Stressed out by the seeming chronic inability of certain groups of people around you to ever do anything in an organized, planned, professional manner? Take an Atarax!</p>\n<p>Saddened by the fact that only those children from families with money ever get a chance, even though they often have their grades/degrees bought for them? Take an Atarax!</p>\n<p>Tired of being the convenient scapegoat for any and all troubles that ail your academic program? Take an Atarax!</p>\n<p>Have to spend your entire weekend at The EP Open House, whether you want to or not? Take an Atarax!</p>\n<p>By the time the phone call came, I was feeling no pain.</p>\n<p>Ring...ring...</p>\n<p>Me: Hellllloooooooo?</p>\n<p>Ajarn #@&amp;*%$: Where you at!?</p>\n<p>Me: I\'m here, in McDonalds, with all the other teachers.</p>\n<p>Ajarn #@&amp;*%$: Why you don\'t come upstairs?</p>\n<p>Me: We cannot find a way in, everything is locked. (Giggle)</p>\n<p>Ajarn #@&amp;*%$: You stay there I send Teacher &amp;%$#@ to bring you.</p>\n<p>Click</p>\n<p>Me: Giggle, giggle</p>\n<p>So Teacher &amp;%$#@ came and found us. She then led us on a circuitous trek, akin the lost tribes of Israel, through the parking garage, an employee\'s entrance, up five flights of stairs and into the promised land.</p>\n<p>We had made it at last! Angels sang, clouds parted and a light, warm rain fell on our faces as we thanked Teacher &amp;%$#@ for our deliverance. (I was hallucinating by now, but that was from lack of sleep and the climb up the stairs, not the Atarax.)</p>\n<p>After a severe dressing down, reminiscent of the morning flag ceremony harangues, we all went to our booth, feeling very guilty and inadequate for not being able to do something SO easy as find our way to the conference room. (You know how trying we farangs can be!)</p>\n<p>So we then stood there from 9 to 3, Saturday and Sunday and made the future safe for democracy. We heard \"Hero\", \"Nobody, Nobody\" and \"Love...I Need Somebody\" enough times that I now know the lyrics better than my 13 year old niece. You should see me do that dance with the little beating heart thing with my hands. I look JUST like that Korean Pop sensation. She\'s quite impressed and has congratulated me several times, so the weekend wasn\'t a TOTAL waste, which is good.</p>\n<p>So in conclusion, the Open House was highly informative and showcased how successful EP programs have been in turning undisciplined, spoiled, misbehaving, intellectually disinterested, narrow minded Thai students into the model world citizens, open minded diplomats, heady intellectuals and free thinkers that they are today.</p>\n<p>To quote a friend \"A good time was had by all!\"</p>\n<p>So I\'ll see you next year at The Open House and (whatever you do) DON\'T forget to bring your Atarax!</p>\n</p>','','2009-08-02 16:48:36',1,'2009-08-02 16:48:36','2009-10-26 08:08:37'),(769,31,'Any truth in the rumors?','any-truth-in-the-rumors','It\'s about time we analyzed what the bar-stool experts are saying','There seem to be a lot of rumors floating around these days about how the teacher licensing requirements set forth by The Teachers Council of Thailand have changed. ','<p>There seem to be a lot of rumors floating around these days about how the teacher licensing requirements set forth by The Teachers Council of Thailand have changed.\n<p>Some people seem to think that the 4-part exams are no longer a valid option or that they have been changed. Some people would like to know if teacher certification courses from outside Thailand, such as The Cambridge TKT, are acceptable in lieu of the approved one-year courses at places such as Assumption and Ramkhamheang.</p>\n<p>One person, who emailed me, told me the story of how he sent all of his paperwork in to The TCT, including a Bachelors of Education, but received a letter back stating that his request for a teacher\'s license had been denied due to \"lack of qualifications\"!</p>\n<p>So, with a lot of questions, a detailed printout of what courses are taught in The Cambridge TKT and copies of the same qualifications that the man who had been denied had sent to The TCT, I walked into The TCT.</p>\n<p>Below is what I was told by Khun Teeranuch Saipanya, the personal assistant to The Secretary General of The Teachers Council and it was also confirmed by Khun Kedtida Kiensaard, Head of Professional Standards Assurance for The TCT.</p>\n<p><strong>1) Application Methodology:</strong><br />There are still only three types of applicants and/or four ways to go about getting a teachers license, the details have not changed since February 2007. To see those details, you can click <a href=\"/Contris/jason%20alavi/jasonalavimay2008.htm\">here</a>:</p>\n<p><strong>2) The Cambridge TKT and similar courses:</strong><br />The Cambridge TKT \"may\" be acceptable. According to all of the records that Khun Teeranuch and Khun Kedtida checked, so far no one has tried to apply for a teacher\'s license citing a diploma from The Cambridge TCT. If someone does apply, citing The Cambridge TKT as a qualification, then a precedent will be set. This of course applies for similar courses, certificates, etc. from other nations. Unless and until the transcripts and course descriptions have been given to The TCT, a decision cannot be made.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, The TCT itself can not make rulings as to which overseas academic institutions are acceptable or not. That duty falls to The Academic Accreditation and Comparisons Office. In Thai it is abbreviated as ก.พ.</p>\n<p>There is a young lady from The Academic Accreditation and Comparisons Office attached to The Teachers Council. When foreign teachers apply for teachers licenses, she has the onerous and difficult task of verifying the authenticity of both the granting institution, the course content (based on transcripts and syllabi) and, by extension, the degree/certificate/diploma itself. Usually she is enough. If however, things get busy and she is overwhelmed, she calls an MOE courier who then takes the overflow to the main offices of The Academic Accreditation and Comparisons Office. There is also a satellite office on Chaeng Watthana whose help can be enlisted if things get really crazy.</p>\n<p>I have two friends, a husband and a wife, who are both Fillipino and both possess a Masters of Education from The Phillipines. Their degrees are from Ataneo University, one of the best known universities in the country. When they applied, they were given a 6 month \"temporary\" license and were told that The TCT (really The Academic Accreditation and Comparisons Office) would take six months to verify their degrees. Now, eight months later, they have their teacher\'s licenses. Their degrees checked out.</p>\n<p>Which brings us to our gentleman who was denied even though he possesses a Bachelors of Education.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Fake and/or Unaccredited Degrees:</strong> <br />At the main office, deep in the bowels of The MOE, there is a room which I jokingly refer to as \"The Bat Cave\" The reasons for this are twofold. First, I\'m a Batman fanatic. I know that\'s off topic. But hey! This is my article.  The second reason is that it is staffed by four young Thai men who only see the light of day on their lunch break and when they get off work. They all received Undergraduate and Masters Degree scholarships from The Thai Government and are now paying that off, working for The MOE. They all speak, read and write English fluently. More importantly, they all have dedicated phone and fax lines as well as super fast and reliable internet connections as well as the full official weight of The Royal Thai Ministry of Education behind them.</p>\n<p>Why am I going off about this? Because that man who e-mailed me and was denied, based on \"lack of qualifications\" was denied because he had a \"Lifetime Experience Degree\", in Education, from Ashwood University. Now, I am not going to get into a debate about the pros, cons, validity or anything else of Lifetime Experience Degrees. Some ACCREDITED universities, such as masters Degrees from University of Leicester (for example) are real, accredited and will present NO problems to people who hold degrees from them. However, the young guys in The Batcave can find out if the degree you are presenting is from an internationally accredited academic institution or not! Even if they can\'t find it online, which is not a good sign, they can still write a government to government communication asking the Ministry of Education in that country for their full cooperation and assistance. My point is, if you have a degree from an academic institution that does not hold any international accreditation, for your own sake, do not present it to The TCT for approval towards receiving a teacher\'s license.</p>\n<p>To see a list of the most well known Institutions of Higher Learning which DO NOT possess international (or even local) academic accreditation, click here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unaccredited_institutions_of_higher_learning</p>\n<p><br />If The TCT or The Academic Accreditation and Comparisons Office feel so inclined, they can report teachers who apply with fake and/or unaccredited degrees to The Royal Thai Police and I have yet to hear a happy ending to any story like that! <br />(http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/the-staffroom/41328-the-consequences-of-using-a-fake-degree-mr-hippo-s-day-in-court.html)</p>\n<p>If any readers have any questions they would like me to ask directly to The Teacher\'s Council or have heard of any other rumors that they would like followed up on, just email me and I\'ll see what I can do. I\'m at The MOE, on average two days a week.</p>\n<p>So long and thanks for all the fish.</p>\n</p>','','2009-10-01 16:52:57',1,'2009-10-01 16:52:57','2010-08-25 11:11:58'),(770,32,'An alternative guide','an-alternative-guide','A rough guide to the lonely planet of teaching in SE Asia','If you studied TEFL or CELTA in your home country, something that would have almost definitely been lacking from your course was your tutors experience and knowledge of SE Asia.\n','<p>I\'m being biased here and limiting this article to Indochina [Cambodia, Lao and Vietnam].

Because most people never make it to the other six nations of ASEAN [the Association of SouthEast Asian Nations]: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines or Singapore.</p>\n<p>Unless you\'re a highly qualified academic professional, there just isn\'t enough work or money in these other countries. Like Hong Kong though, some Singaporean universities will pay top dollar if you\'ve got a PhD and have experience, especially if you\'ve been published.

Those sections are usually miniscule and paint an incomplete picture because they weren\'t written by teachers for teachers. They also don\'t warn you about any of the teaching pitfalls here. Read on.</p>\n<h3>CAMBO A GO GO</h3>\n<p>On the whole, the Khmers are a lovely bunch of people but if you frequent barang [the Khmer word for &lsquo;foreigner\'] haunts, then expect to find your odd bad penny or two. These are exceptions though as are corrupt police officers.</p>\n<p>Bear in mind that during the Khmer Rouge era most of the adults of the country were killed and that the adults there now grew up without having parental figures in their lives. What they had were either American camps on the Thai border or the occupying Vietnamese as educators and role models.</p>\n<p>Many Khmers are quite shy and nervous at first and the key to this is to make them laugh or smile.</p>\n<p>Avoid confrontations over money and never make them look or feel like an idiot in public. They are the only race in SE Asia that will lose their temper or resort to violence, but that is at a real push and it never happened to me.</p>\n<p>If, like me, you have an inquisitive mind and can make links between people, places and events, keep your thoughts to yourself. Other foreigners pose the biggest threat in Cambodia but, as long as you watch your back, you have absolutely nothing to worry about: male or female, single or attached, younger or older, etc.</p>\n<p>Consider this. A business visa is available to all and sundry on arrival and this can be extended indefinitely without having to leave the country.</p>\n<p>You can place foreigners into five groups: NGOs, teachers, private businesspeople, journalists [who paid most of these people and in which overseas media their work ever appeared always baffled me] and &lsquo;the others\'.</p>\n<p>The latter seem to have no role in the country or any visible means of income. End of consideration. But, please, Cambodia is a beautiful country and I really enjoyed working there.</p>\n<p>Pre-recession, you could walk into a job at the many private language centres [PLCs] and the few private schools, and it was easy to earn at least $1,000 a month, and this was eight years ago.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know what the situation is like there now but if it\'s anything like the Northeast of Thailand which has its own cocooned economy, then it should still be relatively straightforward to find work.</p>\n<p>There is one PLC to watch out for. They rarely pay on time and when they do it\'s never enough. Their building and facilities look good and they have the word &lsquo;business\' in their title. Avoid them.</p>\n<p>As with all of the countries in this region, you actually need to be there to find work. Most of the work remains in Phnom Penh. Be warned though that it\'s a small city and that the public behaviour of barangs rarely goes unnoticed by the locals.</p>\n<h3>&lsquo;NAMTASTIC</h3>\n<p>I have to say that out of all the countries I\'ve worked in Vietnam is by far and away my favourite. Students, people, culture, cuisine, the works.</p>\n<p>Teaching positions were starting to become available in some of the larger towns while I was there, but the mainstay was still in Ho Ch Minh City and Hanoi.</p>\n<p>It can take time to establish yourself in Vietnam, so you should arrive with savings that you can fall back on. Unless you want to live in a dump, the average daily cost of living is around the $20 to $25 mark, excluding luxuries.</p>\n<p>PLCs provide most of the work and you need to be flexible and willing to work evenings and weekends and at more than one PLC.</p>\n<p>There is an excellent national university and a foreign-owned international university. I wouldn\'t work at the latter again for all the tea in China.</p>\n<p>Four years ago, you could expect to earn anything from $1,000 to $2,000 per month. This may have increased.</p>\n<h3>LOVELY LAO</h3>\n<p>I visit Vientiane on a regular basis, but I don\'t have any really good news to report in this article.</p>\n<p>I was recently told by several English teachers that there are more applicants than vacancies at the moment. There are too many PLCs and they all offer the same thing and there just aren\'t enough students to go around.</p>\n<p>There is also small number of private, international and bilingual schools in the capital and although you will see them advertising on TEFL Asia from time to time, you need to be in Vientiane to get a firm job offer from them.</p>\n<p>I\'ve yet to hear of anyone working in Luang Prabang or Savannakhet although I\'m sure that there has to be at least one PLC in each of them by now. Whether they recruit native speakers is a different matter however. It is very unlikely that you will find PLCs elsewhere in the country though.</p>\n<p>PLC teachers can earn about $600 to $700 and school teachers about $1,000 a month. Where PLC work is concerned, like Vietnam, it can take time to establish yourself and one English teacher I know told me that she had recently had her hours cut. And this was with one of the better PLCs.</p>\n</p>','','2009-08-01 17:15:57',1,'2009-08-01 17:15:57','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(771,32,'Phonics for teenagers and adults','phonics-for-teenagers-and-adults','Why should students feel intimidated?','Phonics for absolute and false beginners?

Otherwise, phonics is the way to go as far as being able to read and pronounce the 70% of the English language which can be mastered by using the method. I actually think that this figure is higher because you can argue that words like &lsquo;chemist\' have a hard &lsquo;ch\' sound. And &lsquo;tion\' on the end of a word is always pronounced as &lsquo;shun\'. Etc.</p>\n<p>But students feel intimidated by it? To answer a question with a question, why should they if it\'s helping them?</p>\n<p>Those that aren\'t already familiar with it will quickly recognise it as an invaluable tool that really works.</p>\n<p>Just watch their faces when they begin to read and pronounce words they\'ve never even seen before. And, no, they don\'t need to know what the words mean unless there is a clear need to, i.e. because they\'re a part of the lesson.</p>\n<p>So where to start with teaching phonics? Go with the individual sounds of each letter first of all. Leave long vowels like the &lsquo;a\' in ape and soft consonants like the &lsquo;c\' in celery until later. Start with the basics.</p>\n<p>For 5 to 10 minutes of each class cover two letters. So, for example, in the first class &lsquo;a\' and &lsquo;b\'. Ant, at, apple. Big, bad, bag. Etc.</p>\n<p>Draw these up on the board and write the key letters in a different colour and then have students copy them into their notebooks. Continually review the sounds of letters as you progress your way through the alphabet.</p>\n<p>Once you\'ve reached the halfway mark, you can start to play a game. Write up the letters that have already been taught. Form two teams and have one student from each step up to the board. Phonically pronounce a letter and have them run to touch that letter and say a word that begins with it. Students take it in turns and the first team to get to ten is the winner.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;X\' is the exception. Forget about the ridiculous &lsquo;x-ray\'. Teach it as an end sound. Ox, box, fox, mix, etc. And that sound by the way is &lsquo;cus\'.</p>\n<p>When students have learned the basic sounds of the alphabet then you can start to use Hazel Loring\'s book from Unit 1. Aim to cover between eight to ten words per class. Sound out each part of the words. And again, make sure that you constantly review students.</p>\n<p>Have them copy the words in two colours into their notebooks.</p>\n<p>Unit 1 is where the really smart students will be able to read and pronounce words before you do. Let them do this because it encourages the rest of the class. By Unit 5 most if not all students should be able to do this.</p>\n<p>All in all there are 44 units. In a school year where I teach phonics for 5 to 10 minutes of every class, I have only reached Unit 30.</p>\n<p>Also, if you teach privately, the better students are at being able to read and pronounce words, the more likely they are to continue learning with you.

No. Especially not the ones that you use as energy burners and to get students\' brains working in English at the start of a class. Games can also be rewards for good work. No English? No game!</p>\n<p>For older students, first of all show them your wares and then let them tell you which their favourites are. Volume and enthusiasm will dictate which games are the most popular with younger students.</p>\n<p>Generally, I split large classes into two teams. This gives every student the chance to be or at least feel a part of something and it encourages an often ruthless atmosphere of competition where students are firmly focused on using their English.</p>\n<p>Let the class choose their own team names or give them funny ones yourself.</p>\n<p>The first team to reach three points games:</p>\n<p><strong>1. WORD TENNIS</strong><br />Students are NOT allowed to write or use dictionaries during this game. Write a theme word, i.e. jobs or an individual letter on the board. Each team must shout out a new word. The first team to repeat a word is out and the other team is awarded a point. The next round then moves onto a different theme or letter.</p>\n<p><strong>2. TEAM HANGMAN</strong><br />This is great for reviewing new vocabulary, tenses and Q&amp;A. Write two identical words or sentences [as blanks] on the board, one for each team. Each team calls out a letter in turn. Just play it like normal hangman. The first team to guess the word or sentence is awarded a point. Students will only ever reach hangman in this game if you give them something they\'ve never seen before. It\'s fun to write up just three blanks with a new M5/6 level class though because first they\'ll go through all of the vowels, then they\'ll go through common consonants. They usually lose because the word is KFC!</p>\n<p>The first team to reach ten points games:</p>\n<p><strong>1. HOT SEAT</strong><br />Place two chairs at the front of the class facing away from the board. Have one student from each team volunteer to come and sit down. Write a word up on the board. The teams can then use gestures and language to help the two students guess what the word. This is great for reviewing opposites. Teams must not say the actual word or speak their first language. The first student to guess the word wins the point and then two more volunteers are selected. This game goes down a storm in SE Asian classrooms.</p>\n<p><strong>2. SLAP THAT PHONIC!</strong> <br />Write the alphabet, using upper- and lowercase letters, across the board. Pick two volunteers one from each team and then pronounce a phonic sound. The students then have to race to slap the letters associated with it and say a word that begins or ends with it. The winner receives a point for doing so. Keep selecting different students to take a turn. This is one of the best ways that I\'ve found of teaching young learners and beginners the phonic alphabet.</p>\n<p><strong>3. THREE STRIKES</strong><br />This is good for reinforcing new vocabulary. Choose eight words and write them up on the board and on eight pieces of paper. Flip a coin or play 1, 2, 3 to see which team goes first. Hold up your pieces of paper so that students can\'t see the words and ask them which one you are currently looking at. Each team gets three guesses. If they guess correctly they get two points otherwise the other team is given one point. Then it\'s the other teams turn. Keep shuffling your pieces of paper.</p>\n<p><strong>4. ANSWER MY QUESTIONS</strong><br />This can be anything, i.e. \"What am I?\" [mime an animal or a job], \"What am I eating? [give verbal clues and gestures], \"Where am I?\" [give descriptions of surroundings and what you can see], \"Who am I?\" [give descriptions of famous people, superheroes or even class members], etc.</p>\n<p><strong>5. THIS IS...<br /></strong>Make up a fictional character and give details about their name, age, country, likes and dislikes etc. Then play true or false, i.e. \"She lives in Vietnam\". If there\'s one game that gets a class to be quiet, this is it because if they don\'t listen they can\'t win.</p>\n<p><strong>6. WHAT\'S MISSING?</strong><br />Choose a theme, i.e. food, and write this up in a bubble in the centre of the board. Draw a line out from the bubble and write an example word, i.e. &lsquo;hot dog\' and then have students populate the rest of the bubble with words that they call out. Get the students to stand up and turn around and wipe one word from the board and then call out \"What\'s missing?\" The first team to say what word is missing wins the point.</p>\n<p>Games that don\'t involve any points:</p>\n<p><strong>1. MINIMUM </strong><br />For first graders you need to start the minimum number of letters at three, for all other levels you can start at five. Write up one word at the top left of the board, i.e. &lsquo;chair\'. Teams take it turns to call out a single word that begins with the last letter, i.e. &lsquo;rabbit\'. Word must meet or exceed the minimum number of letters but not end with &lsquo;y\' because it limits the game. Students can use plurals to meet the minimum but they are not allowed to repeat words. As you start a new line on the board, increase the minimum by one letter. When a team gets stumped, begin a countdown from ten. The first team to be get to zero is out. I had a great fourth grade class once that could go up to a minimum of twelve letters [eight lines] and an advanced class that could go to thirteen. I have always found this game to be very popular in SE Asia.</p>\n<p><strong>2. DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS</strong><br />Plan out two small dungeons on a piece of paper, say 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 squares and populate each &lsquo;room\' with things to do, find, interact with or fight. Write up the maps on the board as well as basic commands, i.e. Go_____ [north, east, south or west] / Look / Get the_____ / Use the_____ / Talk to the_____, Eat the_____, etc. Flip a coin or play 1, 2, 3 to see which team goes first and then have teams take turns to move their way around the dungeons one turn at a time. Each team starts in the top left hand box and the objective is to reach &lsquo;home\' in the bottom right hand box. The game doesn\'t have to have fantasy or horror themes either. I\'ve created maps of home towns, fun parks, movies and cartoons. This game really captures the imagination of second to sixth graders, so use yours when designing maps for it.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/joko-mackenna/too-many-games\">Too many games!- Beware of turning your class into gameaholics</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/teachers-playing-games-in-class\">Teachers playing games in class - Is it a case of too much monkeying around?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-teaching-game\">Games - I love \'em and I use them in my classroom in every way I can.</a></p>','','2009-10-01 17:29:40',1,'2009-10-01 17:29:40','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(773,108,'We get letters','we-get-letters','A selection of letters from ajarn readers','Two years ago I was in a bad motorcycle accident and spent three months in the hospital including three weeks in an induced coma.

I am doing ok now, however, I need powerful pain medications to be comfortable enough to get around. I broke over 20 bones (my spine had to be fused together, hence the need for the pain meds.) and lost my spleen. I currently need these medications every month. Morphine Sulfate 15mg, 60 tabs and either, Oxycodone (Roxycodone) 5mg 270 tabs, or Hydrocodone/app 10/325mg 270 tabs for pain. I am also on two anti-depressants/anxiety medications.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>I was turned down for COBRA extension (I was on COBRA at the time of the accident) here in the United States so (1) I had to purchase a policy through my state government (Oregon) to get any&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">medical insurance</a><span>. (Oregon Medical Insurance Pool, OMIP)</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I have done a lot of research including posting questions on the arjan newbie board. (2) I am wondering if I will be able to even get insurance in Thailand and IF I can, will it cover the cost of my prescriptions?</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>I contacted Bumrungrad Hospital to see if the meds are even available in Thailand and is (3) sounds like the are available although very expensive and difficult to get there. I know that on a teachers salary in Thailand the cost of these meds will make it impossible to support myself without insurance to cover the costs of the drugs I need.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First off do you believe that I would even be able to pass the required medical certificate needed to teach there? (4) Also I was wondering if I could apply for insurance there (without paying for it first) and if it would cover prescriptions. Also, is there a way to get prescription coverage there at all? From what I have read it seems that most insurance does not offer Rx coverage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>My Reponses:</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(1) The Oregon Medical Insurance Pool (OMIP) is the high-risk health insurance pool for the state. OMIP was established by the Oregon Legislature to cover adults and children who are unable to obtain medical insurance because of health conditions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In other words, if you were accepted by OMIP, it was because no other health insurer would cover your existing medical problems. That is still a problem you face.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(2) You can probably get medical insurance in Thailand, but it will definitely exclude treatment and testing for your current medical condition and it will certainly exclude coverage for your medications.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>If you got a job at a school offering group coverage under the government SSI program you might be able to get coverage for your medical condition. But ...</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(3) If your medications are available here, but expensive and hard to get, that tells me that they are not being produced here. This means that the SSI program will not pay for them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>(4) If you get hired with coverage under SSI, the premium would be taken out of your pay every month, but there would be a waiting period for coverage to start. Your medications, though, would not be covered if they have to be imported into Thailand. No private health insurer will cover medication for pre-existing conditions.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This letter writer is very, very fortunate that OMIP exists. It didn\'t exist when I lived and grew up in the States. Now, apparently, a few other states have somewhat similar support for the uninsurable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The good news for this letter writer is that the problem should heal over time and expensive medications will no longer be required. My very strong recommendation is to just Jai Yen (remain cool) for now and remain in Oregon until the medications are no longer required (or at least are more affordable).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If any readers disagree with anything I have said here, please write me and let me know.

Lately though, we have had to send out quite a few.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Looking through them to see why, I discovered that most of the claims had one thing in common: They were for follow up OPD care after release from an IPD stay in the hospital. Yet the insured\'s insurance plan allowed for OPD follow up care within so many days release from the hospital. And the claims were within this time limit.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\"Oh, oh...\" I thought, \"Going to be reading about this on a few forums.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In spite of what many people would like to believe, the insurance company must follow the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. The insurance policy is a contract approved by the government for the protection of the insured and the insurer.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That said, I still must be able to explain the rejections to my clients. Actually, the reason for these rejections is quite simple, if you understand the difference between IPD and OPD, and you understand the fact that there are three distinctly different types of OPD coverage plans available in Thailand, depending on the level of <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>health insurance coverage</span></a> you purchase.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>IPD</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hospital Inpatient care (IPD) requires that you have a medical problem that is serious enough for a doctor to admit you into the hospital for an overnight stay. (Some insurance companies allow you to be released after 6 hours; others require you to stay longer. In any case, the insurance company pays for a full overnight stay.)</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>While you are in the hospital the insurance company pays for your room &amp; board &amp; nursing care, as well as surgery costs and one doctor visit to you per day. Most importantly, though, they pay for \"Hospital General Expenses\" - which includes just about everything required for your medical treatment not included elsewhere.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This can quickly become the most costly part of your hospital bill. Outpatient Follow-up Care is normally covered under \"Hospital General Expenses.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>OPD</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hospital Outpatient care (OPD) is optional with most insurance policies. OPD allows you to walk into the hospital and visit with a doctor for any medical reason, no matter how minor. Because of this ease of use, OPD tends to be more costly for the benefit it provides. For this reason, and because of the low cost of doctor visits in Thailand, most insureds choose not to take this option.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Most health insurance plans sold in Thailand provide coverage in the mid to low range. The OPD coverage options range from 600 baht per doctor visit per day up to 3,000 baht per visit per day, for up to 30 days per year.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The higher coverage plans provide OPD coverage ranging from 25,000 baht per year to 75,000 baht per year. There are no limits on usage, but when the coverage is used up, there is no more outpatient coverage for the rest of the year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>One of the best OPD coverage \"options\" available in Thailand is actually totally integrated with the insurance plan it supports. It only becomes \"optional\" when you remove the OPD coverage and take a premium discount,</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Why no post-hospitalization OPD follow up coverage?</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The reason depends upon the level of health coverage you bought. With the mid to low coverage plans, if you used up the maximum figure shown in your policy schedule for \"Hospital General Expenses\", there will be no OPD follow-up coverage for you when you get released from the hospital.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is in spite of the fact that you haven\'t used up the Major Medical support coverage. Major Medical supports IPD only, not OPD. Having OPD might have helped, depending on the amount. Spending the money for higher coverage, without OPD, might be better.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>With some of the high-end plans, if you don\'t have OPD, then you won\'t have post-hospitalization OPD follow-up coverage.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you put the money out to have the best medical coverage, don\'t short-change yourself by leaving off the OPD</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For more information on healthcare and medical insurance in Thailand, please feel free to reach out to&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Pacific Prime Thailand Insurance Brokers</a><span>, or email Walter directly at&nbsp;</span><a href=\"mailto:walter@pacificprime.com\">walter@pacificprime.com<span></span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p></p>','','2018-07-16 01:52:00',1,'2016-07-16 01:52:50','2018-09-27 21:31:02'),(779,36,'First impressions count','first-impressions-count','Get the basics right first','Here are some valuable interview tips derived from my experience as the academic director of the Language Institute at DPU.','<p>An advert on ajarn.com placed by a Bangkok institution can expect about thirty applications. Yet half of these will be rejected due to their poor presentation, dubious life histories and the simple failure to seem like a teacher. You may not have a teaching degree or much experience but nobody wants to give a job to an applicant whose paragraphs run into one another, whose CV lists events little connected to teaching as an occupation and who shows no evidence of simple courtesies in the introductory letter.</p>\n<p>From the other half - about fifteen - your application will be jostling with applicants of equal ability, similar qualifications and backgrounds. There may be a couple of superstars with PhDs or research activity in nuclear physics but they will turn down the job because of the salary. From the remaining twelve, how are you going to be the one who is offered the job during the fifteen minutes you get at an interview?</p>\n<h3>Common sense is a must</h3>\n<p>A lot of success at your interview can be obtained by common-sense but it is surprising how many applicants fail to observe just simple observations. During my time at DPU we had many examples: A man with crumbs on his biker moustache applied for a job wearing a grimy Dire Straits tea-shirt, &lsquo;Got any jobs, mate?\' Another seedy-looking woman with a law degree did not get to the panel stage because she wore nun\'s sandals and a cotton dress so faded she looked like a character from Marat Sade.</p>\n<p>So ... avoid any tendency to look bohemian. The Thais like people to be rep-roy, that is, smart: take out the body-piercings, cover up any tattoos and shave off that Aleister Crowley beard. Men should comb their hair, wear a clean shirt and tie, women should look smart and feminine (sexist bastards, aren\'t we). It is no compromise to your values to look like the person you want to be at work - a competent communicator with an educational experience you can pass on to others. The Thais go a lot on appearances - they are more important than your qualifications, so be aware.</p>\n<h3>Your job is to convince</h3>\n<p>Another factor is voice. Can this person influence an audience of thirty students? Many of whom may be inclined to continue their breaktime conversations rather than listen to the teacher. During your interview speak a bit louder than normal. At DPU feeble-sounding applicants never got the job. You must convince the panel that you have a personality that will command and communicate itself to an audience.</p>\n<p>Ask relevant questions connected to the job. Find out something about the institution before you go to the interview. A question like, &lsquo;What is their English like, already?\' makes it seem like you are already on the ball concerning what really goes on in the classroom. It will inspire confidence in you from others.</p>\n<p>Finally, show something human about yourself - a smile, a small admission of weakness - interviewers are people too and some may even be as nervous as you are. A smile at the right moment will show you are an approachable person who can make others feel comfortable. At the end of the day success at the interview will depend on whether the panel liked you or not - forget all that stuff about post-graduate research - first impressions count and in your fifteen minutes will remain that way.■</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2009-07-01 09:58:47',1,'2009-07-01 09:58:47','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(782,21,'Scam warning','scam-warning','Here\'s a well-used teacher scam that\'s doing the rounds.','Be careful.

I fell in love with Thailand on a 4-month travel experience and decided that I needed to escape the rat race and try something different. I was tired with seeing all my friends swimming up stream just to get an apprenticeship for an advertising job, or something as equally conformist, and so made a break for it.</p>\n<p>\n<p>For four or five years I was living the dream to the max. I had moved from a start-up job teaching lexis and vocab from flash cards to working as a lecturer teaching in a university. I had a 3-bedroom house with a couple of rai and our own little orchard, a wonderful girlfriend and a dog named Sadie to tick all the boxes of settling down Thai style. With a great bunch of mates thrown in, I was well and truly happy with my decisions and with life in Thailand. I learnt the Thai language, including reading and very poor writing skills, to help me empathise (and communicate) with my students. I was also able to integrate so much more by having a pretty good command of Thai and found wonderful friends from shop keepers to professors, and monks to businessmen.</p>\n<p>Slowly my girlfriend and I made the decision to move to the big city and progress financially as well as professionally. After avoiding it for 4 years, Bangkok was finally calling. It turned out to be both a blessing and a curse.</p>\n<p>I moved to a prominent language school and quickly started working my way up the ladder. Within a year and a half I was an Assistant DOS and then a DOS. The baht was rolling in and life was peachy. Air-con classrooms, bright students and a good location. My other half found a job with an international school and our salaries were providing us with a carefree lifestyle and our C.V\'s were improving to boot. The only problem was that I was starting to get back to the farang lifestyle and wasn\'t too sure that this was why I had traveled 6,000 miles to the other side of the world. Traffic jams and sky train sardines were the name of the day and I started getting home pretty late. The ungodly hour of 6pm on some days!!!!!! \'Different city, same old shit\' I thought to myself.</p>\n<p>I made a final move to a more &lsquo;relaxing job\' (which turned out anything but) however my colleagues and friends gradually started to move on, go back home or just drift away. It was beginning to feel that the Thailand I was living in wasn\'t the Thailand that I had signed up for and had lived in for the past 7 years. Disenchantment was lurking around the corner and I was starting to question whether this was what I really wanted.</p>\n<p>I umed and ahed for about a year as I slowly started to lose faith in many things - the system, the government, the psyche, the workplace and professionalism - associated with the place I was living and working in. I knew that leaving Thailand would be harder than leaving England (I arrived on a one-way ticket with 200 quid in my pocket and an overflowing backpack) I had a 2-bed condo filled to the brim with sofas, kitchenware and all the stuff that you acquire in 7 yrs of living. I was also shit scared of what it meant to decide to return to England to live and work. Credit crunch??? Who cares... Negative equity.... what\'s that? Price of milk... must be the same as before... Getting a job... oh my God!</p>\n<p>I finally took the decision to return home in the October break to do a \'recce\' of the UK and see what I found. This helped immeasurably as I was able to spend time there not rushing around like a maniac as I would normally do on a home visit at Christmas. I grilled everyone about the cost of living, tax rates, rental prices, job availability etc. etc. The funny thing was that I was able to decide that I could actually give it a go working there.</p>\n<p>Popping into my old college was a great help. With some advice from my old tutors, I learnt that I could open access courses for immigrants wanting to improve their English, I could also do some teaching with students going for their A-Levels if I liked - anything to start getting experience. Keeping busy was a bonus. What I didn\'t do was call in at the language centres as I thought it pretty useless to pop in and say &lsquo; Hi I may come back in 6 months, do you have any jobs?\' So i just collected website addresses and telephone numbers and looked at locations. I didn\'t want to burn bridges by making empty promises about committing to a job. Something I also advise any of you to consider.</p>\n<p>I ate fish and chips and even the odd kebab. I drank real ale and took some brisk walks in the countryside. I tried to get back into the TV soap opera, Eastenders, (but gave up) I even adopted the English reserve, or the grumpy bastard look, that was so far from my Thai personality. I finally resorted to never speaking to anyone on trains or buses for fear of getting happy-slapped by a 9yr old with a new (but recently stolen) i-phone. All in all I was immersing myself back into the culture, and you know what? It wasn\'t that bad. I had had enough of inane smiles so grumpy would wear for a season.</p>\n<p>England was somewhere I could try, so the decision was set. On my return I asked the question to my girlfriend and of myself. \" Are we really going to commit to living another ten or twenty years over here in Thailand and raise a family, or am I going to give it a go back home and stay with my family and friends for a while and see how things go?\" The decision was one of the biggest; to give it all up and go home. Was it failure or prudence? Would it be a disaster or a success? Could I stop myself from saying &lsquo;Kap\' at the end of every utterance??? What would it feel like to be cold.................</p>\n<p>So many questions had been answered after my initial trip back and I totally recommend this to absolutely everyone. If it has been a while since you have swum at home then dip your foot in the river to see if the water is too cold for you. But always remember that you never step in the same river twice! It would be madness to leave Thailand without researching life back at home, just as it would be madness to leave for Thailand with no idea of what it is like.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I resolved to quit my job and my girlfriend would come and join me once I was set up with a flat and job and we could satisfy the visa requirements. I would leave in 6 months. Plenty of time to figure out what I was going to do next. Only question. How do I figure out what I needed to figure out? Next step, was packing up and looking for a job. Not the easiest so Ill save that step for another episode in my journey home. Keep you posted.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"136\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/pj5.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"94\" />So, I had decided to leave and had to sort myself out. First point of order was to decide what was going to come with me and what was going to stay in Bangkok. We knew that we could no longer afford to keep the condo that we were currently renting and a downsize meant that a lot of the stuff that we had would have to go as well. This included an oversized 3-piece suite and a lot of other stuff. Question was who would want to take it all off our hands? The answer was to go onto &lsquo;craigslist\' and sell it all through the internet. We also had to sublet our condo as our contract was half-way through. A kindly spoken word with the landlady and some &lsquo;baak - waan\' (sweet-talk) meant that she agreed that if we could find someone to rent the place then we would get back all of our deposit.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Craigslist is basically a ad site for absolutely anything and is not only the perfect swap shop place to find stuff if you are a new arrival but it is also the perfect forum to have a garage sale of all that you want to get rid of. In a matter of weeks I had managed to sell my sofa for a cool 20,000 and passed on a truckload of books, lamps, and other furniture.</p>\n<p>Renting the condo proved a bit harder but eventually I found a guy willing to take it on at the right time for us and so it was all done. Without the web site I would have had to take a loss on many things and maybe had to give stuff away for free. So tip of the day is to get on to this website for anything that you may want to sell (or indeed buy!)</p>\n<p>I sent the Missis round to rent a condo close to our current one and she managed to have them arrange a pick-up truck to move us down to the smaller place. I also had a bit of a fire sale at the condo we were in and managed to offload a lot of plants and other bits and pieces. The final call was to take stuff to my place of work and leaving it with a small price tag I soon found that they were getting snapped up quicker than Som Tum and sticky rice. All in all it wasn\'t too bad and with the added cash in my pocket, deposit money etc I was looking to the tune of another 60,000 in the bank which was great.</p>\n<p>Then it was time to let the job hunt begin. I had heard about teachers getting paid 15 quid an hour in the UK for teaching as a standard rate and wasn\'t thrilled by this (I had a private class teaching at a media magazine for 1,000 an hour as it was) so I really wanted a full time position and job security. But then again didn\'t everyone else? And how would I return to usurp all the other incumbent teachers in the UK? Certainly not a prospect I was relishing.</p>\n<p>Where to start? My first thought was to send off my C.V to every school I could find on the web, second was to see if they actually had any jobs going. What I found out was that there were a number of jobs advertising for ESL teachers to come and work in summer schools throughout the UK. Could this possibly be a good place to start? They were by and large residential so I didn\'t have to worry about finding accommodation and they all lasted a survivable 4 - 6 weeks a pop. I decided that I would apply for a few and see what feedback I got.</p>\n<p>From having done loads of recruitment myself I was wary of applying from overseas but found that this wasn\'t the case with the companies I applied to and within a week or so I had 3 telephone interviews for summer school jobs lined up. I had researched what a summer school was and found out that in comparison to many of the schools you may teach in in Thailand they were pretty good. Hours were long but conditions good and you got a lump sum pay cheque at the end of your contract which really appealed to me rather than spending a load of cash as soon as I arrived. Why not get a teaching job with full board and save every penny whilst getting your feet on the ground.</p>\n<p>Stage one: What jobs were on offer... <br />Teacher ( basic ESL 20 hrs per week non- residential) <br />Teacher / Activity Leader ( basic 20hrs teaching plus responsibility for assisting with activities / games / excursions etc. Residential ) <br />Activity leader ( leading activities , no teaching)<br />Senior Teacher ( bit of teaching and office duties)<br />Senior Activity leader ( lead the activities team)<br />Centre Manager ( no teaching , admin only, more money )</p>\n<p>Obviously I was shocked that the lowest number of teaching hours was 20 hours per week. Could this be right? My Thai bubble was beginning to burst. Never let it be said that you have too many hours in Thailand. As I was to find out, if you want to live and work in the UK then expect to work 30hrs per week MINIMUM if you want to earn some real cash. Unless you get a juicy contract in an academic post this is a given.</p>\n<p>So to all teachers in Thailand I would say that the 20-hour a week contract you are on (25 max probably) is less than what you can expect to do in the UK so don\'t get too complacent. Trust me, as I continue this journey you will find out that many things in Thailand may not be that bad and whilst you may moan and bitch about the Thai lifestyle there is just as much to moan about over in England - only less time to do it all in as you are constantly working!</p>\n<p>On that note, go and get the BTS home or take your motorbike taxi in that nice tropical weather (not the freezing rain) and enjoy leaving work at 4pm. I\'ll be here till 6.30 !!!!</p>\n</p>\n<p>Update to follow after a pint of real ale in the pub (there are some good bits) what I am saying is that once you leave Thailand, you realize that you may not necessarily look back in anger at the politics and mai pen rai attitude. Sometimes it is nice to have something getting in the way of work - other than more work.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"136\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/pj10.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"150\" />With phone interviews all lined up, I was ready to go. I had to schedule the calls to make sure that I would get a good reception and hope that there was as little time delay as possible. The interviews themselves were quite standard but less \'chatty\' than the ones you usually have in Thailand. there were also some very specific grammar and management questions so you certainly couldn\'t blag your way out of things. Fortunately I had 4 years experience in management roles and had taught all ages from young kids to post grads at the universities. I was hoping that all my experience would make me a shoe-in for a job as a teacher.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The thing to remember here is that it makes no difference to someone in England if you drop names like Chulalongkorn University or Dr Thaksin as employers have no connection with the names. You are actually better off if you have worked in language centre and thankfully I had done so at a British company that operated out of England. Having a DOS/referee that they can call, preferably a native speaker, is a very important thing. Letters of reference don\'t go very far these days (but can help at the start) What employers are looking for is a brand that they recognise and someone\'s name that they can pronounce. They will and did indeed phone my referees.</p>\n<p>As always, be prepared to ask some questions on the phone, after all, lots of these posts are residential so there is a lot you should find out (accommodation / location / work hours and responsibilities etc. ). Research the company and make sure that they understand you have been away and will be returning at a certain time. Most companies will have you come and do some training before the course starts. I found all companies to be very helpful and secured second interviews for 2 positions out of 3 . At the end of another round of phone calls, I had two offers tabled for schools near my hometown for the posts of centre manager and senior teacher.</p>\n<p>The jobs all begin in July, last about 6 weeks in total, and you can expect a salary of around 400 - 550 pounds a week. Of course there are no expenses (food and board included is included) so you can walk away from the contract with a clear 2-3 thousand pounds in your pocket, which is a very nice bonus when you consider all the costs of setting up a flat, buying a car and kitting yourself out with a winter wardrobe etc. etc ... Many of the adverts required a DELTA for the centre manager jobs but I was offered that position even though I didn\'t apply for it. Motto for the day - don\'t sell yourself short. I jumped at the chance and the next thing I knew I was sent a sample contract, job post outlines and details on how to get a CRB check (police check) - which is a must for all teaching jobs in the UK these days. I was also signed up for management training courses, first aid certificates and on-risk assessment duties (I\'ll come to these later). All in all the position was offering professional development, the kind of which is very thin on the ground in Thailand and seemed to be a pathway to a longer term position - which was certainly my objective. The thing I immediately noticed was that training was of high importance to the company and I found myself looking forward to working in a truly professional environment with career teachers, instead of some of the other kind of colleagues I have worked with over the years in Thailand. Would it all be a bed of roses or was I setting my expectations too high?</p>\n<p>I said a very tearful goodbye to my girlfriend and a not so tearful goodbye to Sukhumvit and made my way with my exact 35kgs of baggage through the departure lounge (use the electronic scales you find outside TESCO lotus and such places to make sure you don\'t go over the limit!) I was listed as a British non-resident and had no bank account. This meant I was going to be in a world of trouble renting a flat as without a credit rating and past landlords, it was going to be hard. I couldn\'t open a bank account as I had no bills with my name and address on. I felt like a homeless person. All I needed was the cardbox box and a bridge to shelter under.</p>\n</p>\n<p>To add to this, about the time I was touching terra firma in good old Blighty, the world decided that it would be a good time to a) rain and b) have a global financial crisis . Still every cloud has a silver lining... surely.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"111\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/pj9.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"90\" />As I landed in the UK I felt happy to be home. The sun was shining and a heat-wave was forecast for the coming week. I was picked up at the airport with my three bags and whisked back to my home town. I promptly went into the garden, popped open a can of beer and sat down to contemplate. What I noticed immediately was the amount of wildlife, birds singing and flying all around , all manner of bugs and insects and the colours of flowers and shrubs. After being surrounded by Thai flora and fauna for so long it was quite a welcome comparison. Best of all there was no smog, no sweat and the air felt fresh and clean. It took a while to take stock but I was really happy to have returned and it felt great. I spent the next week between pubs and meeting old friends and settling back in; even going to Sainsburys was a wonderful delight. Of course you can get most things in Bangkok but it was never the same as good old Sainsburys. I picked up some comfort food and bottles of wine that didn\'t cost an arm and a leg as they do in Thailand. I enjoyed sitting outside in beer gardens till ten pm with sunlight. It was refreshing not be on that 6am - 6pm sun clock that Thailand runs on.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Eventually my work start date came around and I was off to my residential summer school. This was to last for four weeks with up to 200 students at any one time. We had excursions to Windsor castle, Madame Tussauds, Arundel castle, Marwell Zoo and many more to boot. This meant that I was actually getting paid to travel around the country going to places that I had dreamed of and missed in all my years away, albeit with 200 kids in tow. But as Centre Manager you can allocate yourself with a floating role ie. no students, so I found this a great opportunity to reunite myself with good old England.</p>\n<p>The days were very long but you can\'t beat good solid work. It was a real wake-up call to have to work under actual health and safety laws again, take a register 4 times a day and run fire drills every week. Then I had to write incident reports - even if someone broke a nail. I thought back to my camps in Thailand where the students just crammed onto any bus they could find and minor miracles were hoped for at every turn in that all students were present and with every part of their body still attached.</p>\n<p>In England, I had about 150 students in the first week and 20 staff to contend with but it all went well. One thing that working in Thailand does prepare you for is how to work with initiative and adapt to situations. How to expect the unexpected, and how to improvise. So rest assured, if you work in a government school or for nearly any school in Thailand, those experiences are all of value and stand you in good stead when you return.</p>\n<p>Similarly it is just the same for the teacher, no excuses , no lateness, everything must be planned and prepared and you never, NEVER leave a class unattended , something that I would see very often in Thailand. It is very different working in a multi-lingual class as well. Students cannot rely on first language support and all of them will have different language difficulties. Still at least when you practice describing people they don\'t all have dark eyes, dark hair, dark skin , and a white shirt with black trousers!</p>\n<p>I plodded through the 4-week camp and all of a sudden it was over. I had put in a great deal of effort to try and make it as successful as possible and felt that I had done a good job. What I was working towards was a full time contract. These are rare to come by, as I said before , most teachers are employed on short term contracts that are dependent on the bookings that a language school will have in the system. This means holiday is not paid, and there is a lot of uncertainty. Not something I really wanted after running from year to year , visa to visa, for all that time in Thailand. So, I intimated very clearly that if there was a job going I would like a full time contract with all the perks.</p>\n<p>Standard teaching rate at language centres is about 15 pounds per hour. Most teachers will work 30hrs a week pulling in 450 a week before tax. Tax over here (after the allowance) is around 20%. Add 11% for national insurance and the 10% or so that so many people back in Thailand complained about suddenly doesn\'t seem so bad!!! OK you don\'t get much for your baht in return in Thailand but you have more in your wallet, and that is always a good thing. Without having the experience of coming in and doing a summer school my chances of getting a contracted job would have probably been zero to none. So it really is a good move to get your feet in the door doing such a programme. Some courses are longer - up to 8 weeks - and you may even consider taking the first term off, coming home and working for the summer, saving all your cash and then, if things don\'t turn out, go back to the land of smiles in October with some nice cash reserves in your pocket. I know a guy who does that each year and makes a good living and gets to live in both the UK and Thailand. Not a bad deal.</p>\n</p>\n<p>So what would it be trying to start a full time working contract and what are conditions like working in the UK as an ESL teacher? <br />I\'ll let you know next time. We are decorating the tree and having mulled wine and mince pies with all the students in our canteen in a few minutes. Then its off to the pub together. Its one of those crisp cold days - just three degrees but sunny, perfect Christmas weather. My nostalgia has finally become reality. And with the situation in Thailand at the moment I laugh at the tin pot government and people wearing coloured t-shirts making a mockery of a beautiful country. I miss you Thailand but I don\'t miss all that...</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"136\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/pj5.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"94\" />So Christmas has come and gone and we are back to school. As you know, most language centres have mandatory holiday over the Christmas break as no student wants to be here so you will get your two weeks off but it also means that you have to save the holiday from your entitlement which can be a good or bad thing depending on what holidays you are used to. Working in Bangkok and other places as an ESL teacher I have been used to a good 8 weeks holiday a year (for 3 years I was getting 12 weeks off a year!) so coming back to 24 days seems a bit short. Something to keep in mind . Anyway, Christmas was great and after seeing all that happened in Thailand I was glad to be with family and friends.</p>\n<p>\n<p>However , I will have to rewind a bit to when I started my full time contract with the school. . . <br />Summertime is far and away the best time to come back and look for work. The best thing about the credit crunch here is that whilst most businesses are going under and/or laying people off. The ESL industry is doing superb. With the falling pound and strong euro it has essentially meant that a lot of students are saving up to 30% on what they would have spent a year ago. Sales are good and student numbers are strong for now so there is a small silver lining for being an ESL worker for once. Already you can go onto TEFL.com and see all the summer school advertisements as the schools are starting to get bookings for their summer courses and so are looking for staff. I might like to add , as a summer school manager, that I will be offering the best terms and conditions, especially financially, for the summer so wait for my ad to go up in a week or so if you are thinking of applying!!</p>\n<p>So, it was Mid September and I started my full time contract with my school. The school runs lessons for an hour and a half with teachers teaching up to 7.5hrs a day. If you are on an hourly rate then you will want to get all the work you can while it is there! That is nearly 40hrs a week of teaching. So, again count your blessings in Thailand. Classes are no larger than 12 and all have a good mix of students. That was the most refreshing thing to be honest , to be back with multi lingual classes where all the students were paying customers so are very motivated and also quite mature about their studies. I was on 15hrs a week being a contracted teacher / manager. I don\'t think I have sped up enough from Thai time to actually teach that amount. Still classes were a breath of fresh air. A well resourced school. Professional teachers who actually want to teach and are committed to education and teaching. On site professional development, training , seminars and support are all there for those interested.</p>\n<p>You are encouraged to do your DELTA and this was actually part of my contract that I must complete it within 2 yrs, with it being fully funded by the school. This really is the next step over in the UK. Most schools seem to offer some kind of scholarship for teachers to do their DELTA, in return you will be required to commit to a two year contract or something similar though you can just pay them back if you want to leave. It\'s a great deal if you ask me.</p>\n<p>Once you have a DELTA then you are that bit more employable. The problems I was facing were not coming from work but from life outside the office. I had been back for 6 months or so and still couldn\'t get a bank account. I was stuck in catch 22: to get an account you need bills or council tax. I didn\'t have that as I was still living at home. I couldn\'t leave home as you need a bank account to give to the letting agent/landlord. So with no bills and no bank account you are in a limbo. Also, even if you have an account you will find that with no recent references from past land lords you may well have to pay 6 months in advance to secure a place. I also have no credit rating having been away for so long and that caused a whole load of other problems.</p>\n<p>Eventually I went to banks with my contract from work with my address on it. No good. Have you got a phone bill they asked? No, I cant get a mobile in my name as I need a bank account to set one up, it was in my Mums name. aarrgghhh and so it went on. Finally I went to Abbey National and they gave me a no frills bank account, no overdraft or credit cards. It was like a new dawn. And it only took 7 months to do. This was in part due to the fact I was waving quite a large cheque at them and also that the banks were losing money and customers - like rats leaving a sinking ship. They were surprised at someone actually wanting to give them money I think.</p>\n<p>With that sorted I then managed to find a friend to rent me his place without the need for a guarantor or a deposit so sidestepped any more problems there. And suddenly I was feeling like an Englishman again. It seemed that things were turning around, until I looked at the exchange rate and realised that I could earn a lot more in sterling in Thailand than I had been. Not close to my English money salary but standard of living and all that I started to wonder again what might Europe or even the land of smiles have to offer me in terms of opportunity.</p>\n<p>Pushing on at work and dreaming about other opportunities , its bloody freezing here and recently got down to -7. I honestly have not felt that kind of cold for so long. You wake up and at 7.30 it is still dark. You leave the office at 4.30 and it is already dark. Winter true and proper. With spring on the way. Still I\'m coming over to Thailand for Easter. A month on the islands and spending a somewhat British pound means I will still feel rich as things are so cheap. Average pint in my town is 3.50 for a Stella. Ciggies 5.50, a single bus journey 1.80. Chips from the chippie 1.80. And get this , I went to the supermarket prawns are 25 quid per kilo and they are tiny little things. I nearly had a coronary... I remember them at about 250 baht for the biggest best ones at the market. A fry up in a greasy spoon is 4.50 on average (in London it is more like &pound;8). So, yes Thailand will feel cheap and I got a flight for 25,000 baht with Thai airways. Nice.</p>\n<p>Anyway. Maybe one more update to follow with a bit of a survivors guide to the first year back may just about do it from me. I hope this has given you all a bit of food for thought.</p>\n<p>Loves: Food , culture (theatre etc), friends , family , professional work place, variety of students , no pollution , systematic accountable practices , buses and trains that come on time, lots of attractive blond women, animals , nature (birds, sheep seagulls etc), BBC TV, cultural events, no humidity, cold rain , beautiful sunsets that happen at different times, no need for AC.</p>\n<p>Hates: Food (prices) grumpy people , hard work, no swimming pool in my condo , weather , systematic accountable procedures , everything being on time, no dark haired slim Thai women, dark mornings and early evenings. PRICES . no need for AC, central heating ...</p>\n<p>You get the idea, wherever you are you will love and hate certain things. Often they are the same. Feel free to ask any questions if I can help I will. And I will recruit soon for summer school so keep an eye (I\'m hoping Phil might let me place a small cheeky ad!)</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/pjs_journey.jpg','2008-11-29 13:17:39',1,'2008-11-29 13:17:39','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(784,21,'A time of change','a-time-of-change','How does teaching in Thailand now compare to twenty years ago?','For those of you pissing and moaning about visa runs, the immigration department, the work permit process, the unpredictability of the consulates in neighboring countries - let me tell you this - it was no better in the early 90s. In fact I\'d say marginally worse.','<p>1990 eh? Seems a long time ago. Nelson Mandela began life as a free man, Maggie Thatcher stepped down as British Prime Minister, West Germany beat Italy 1-0 to lift the World Cup, Microsoft launched Windows 3 and I launched my teaching career in Thailand. And it\'s been downhill ever since. Seriously though, how have things changed in the world of Thailand TEFL over the past couple of decades?\n<p>I suppose that the mesmerizing variety of jobs on offer has been the most noticeable change. Nowadays you have vacancies at private schools, universities, secondary schools, kindergartens, etc, etc. In 1990, you were pretty much limited to private language schools such as Berlitz and Inlingua, and anyone else who had a fancy logo in the Bangkok Yellow Pages (the place where I found my first job incidentally) It was very seldom that you got to share conversation with someone who had the title of \'university lecturer\' or \'college professor\'.</p>\n<p>Those guys were certainly around in those days, but few and far between. With the current scope for employment, it\'s become a \'teacher\'s market\' in Thailand. It\'s always been easy to pick up teaching work here but you couldn\'t always be choosy in the 90s. I remember taking on a private student for a small school just off Silom Road. It required me going to this huge house in the Sukhumwit soi 33 area (where all the rich people live) and teach (in its loosest possible terms) a seven-year old boy for two hours twice a week. For this I was paid 200 baht an hour. No transportation allowance, no teacher support - just 200 baht an hour. I think I lasted two days but I did get paid the 800 baht owed to me. These days if someone offers me a private student, I\'ll figure in the time wasted on travel, the level and age of the student, the proximity to shopping malls and restaurants, and even then I\'ll probably say no.</p>\n<p>Teachers or should I say good teachers, have become a lot more discerning today. They are exercising their right to turn down jobs because invariably there is always something better around the corner. It\'s been extremely bad news for the employers, but who cares? They had it too good for too long anyway.</p>\n<p>For those of you pissing and moaning about visa runs, the immigration department, the work permit process, the unpredictability of the consulates in neighboring countries - let me tell you this - it was no better in the early 90s. In fact I\'d say marginally worse. The old hands will shudder to recall the dreaded trips to the Bangkok immigration when the most basic of visa extensions would require you to go in three separate rooms on three different floors.</p>\n<p>You started off on the ground floor, then it was off to room 302 to join a large nervous-looking group of visa applicants all shifting uneasily on straggly rows of plastic chairs. Everyone waiting for that magical moment when the officer with all the medals would beckon you to his desk. There was no queuing system. There was no losing your temper but there were all sorts of communication problems. The immigration officer didn\'t speak a word of English, but that was your problem not his. This was his country and he was doing you a favor by not booting your ass out there and then. A visit to immigration is a dream these days compared to the past.</p>\n<p>Visa runs have always been troublesome. Nothing\'s changed. I can remember standing at the Thai consulate in Kota Bahru when only two farangs in the world knew it existed. Me, and the bloke who told me about it. Kota Bahru had a market, an A&amp;W Root Beer, and probably only two places you could call a hotel. I didn\'t see another white face in the three days I was there, and yet the consulate officer wouldn\'t budge - \"we can only give you a two-month tourist visa. Sorry\"</p>\n<p>I got the same story in Penang and Singapore. In those days they didn\'t even look at whatever paperwork you brought from the school. They just said no.</p>\n<p>The Ministry of Education has always by and large been \'off limits\' to foreign teachers looking to sort out a teacher\'s license for themselves, but the Labor Department (who issue work permit books) had staff there who positively rejoiced in the misery and hell they could put you through during the work permit application process. I personally knew only three teachers in the good old days who were lucky enough to qualify for the little blue book, and each of them used to come back from the Labor Department with their own horror story.</p>\n<p>But if the thought of a journey to the Immigration or the Labor Department had you quaking with fear, nothing came close to the nightmare of the tax clearance office. Tax clearance? What the hell is that I hear you cry? Well, the system was mercifully abolished in about 1991 but that didn\'t stop me needing to perform the duty on three occasions. Basically for anyone who stayed in the kingdom longer than 60 days either working or as a long stay tourist, you had to show the immigration officer at your departure point that you had either not been working or had been working and paid your taxes like a good honest citizen.</p>\n<p>The process, at least in theory, was simplicity itself. You toddled off to the tax office near Banglampoo. A Thai desk clerk would glance at your passport and then stamp \'tax paid\' somewhere at the back of your passport. The logistical aspect was a totally different story. Imagine one desk clerk behind one glass window, and now imagine three hundred people (Indians, Africans, large Americans) all waving passports in the air and being incredibly silly. And all this taking place in a corridor barely three feet wide, with no chairs and no water cooler. Yes, it was that bad.</p>\n<p>Such was your resignation and acceptance of this nightmare experience that you got there at 8.30 in the morning (for a 9.00 opening) and if you managed to get out by lunchtime, you were one very happy camper. I used to do these \'tax clearance runs\' with an old school-friend of mine and we\'d ritualistically celebrate surviving the ordeal by having tea and scones at a lovely old colonial-style cafe just around the corner from the tax office.</p>\n<p>Enough of the red tape, let\'s give a mention to the kid\'s market. My word, how that\'s developed in the past ten years. To meet someone whose five year old kid \'studied English at the weekend\' was a real novelty. Yet walk past any branch of ECC on a Sunday morning and take a look at the hordes of kids climbing over the reception area furniture and goading the Thai desk-staff. Think about Go Chulalongkorn and the fact they now employ something like 30 teachers for weekend kids classes alone. Weekends in private language schools have become almost exclusively kids territory. Adult students are just not welcome.</p>\n<p>I taught a private student for Inlingua at the Mall, Bangkapi several years ago. He was off to the States for a month-long training course and wanted to brush up on his social skills. There was me, my student and 500 screaming kids. We locked ourselves away in a little corner of the language school but it was still like being on some noisy fairground ride.</p>\n<p>Don\'t ever complain to me about how long it takes you to get from A to B. In the early 90\'s if your academic director offered you a teaching job in Bang Na, you\'d laugh in his face. Two hours of well-paid work it might have been, but what about a journey that necessitated a detailed map, sandwiches and an overnight bag? And then of course, let\'s not forget that those were the days when you stood at the side of the road bargaining fares with taxi drivers. Now we\'ve got the sky-train, a subway system&nbsp;and a pretty impressive expressway network. You people don\'t know you\'re born.</p>\n<p>What about the teachers themselves? Well, I think we\'ve seen a vast increase in the number of middle-aged \'career changers\' I\'m no sociologist but it could stem from resentment and dissatisfaction with life \'in the West\'. However you look at things, there are definitely more men in the 40-60 age group pounding the streets looking for 250 baht an hour teaching work, with the plush offices, the pension plans, and the weekend golf games now just a distant memory. There are certainly a few more females around too. Perhaps Bangkok is shaking off its \'male playground\' \'sin city\' image and becoming more appealing to the gentler sex? Perhaps Thai men themselves are the draw? No, surely not.</p>\n<p>We all like a good bitch now and again. It\'s often something that helps preserve our sanity. But to say that things have never been worse for a farang TEFL teacher is a trifle surreptitious. Listen chum, I remember when we really had it tough.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/timeofchange.jpg','2009-02-10 14:00:15',1,'2009-02-10 14:00:15','2009-10-27 05:05:16'),(785,21,'Freelance teaching','freelance-teaching','Ever thought about going it alone?','How easy is it to go the freelance route in Bangkok and make money charging students upwards of 500 baht an hour?

You\'re not paying taxes either.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But we\'re not talking about someone teaching from a \'bricks and mortar\' language school with a clearly visible shopfront. This is you, the teacher, offering a few hours of your time to an individual or&nbsp;a bunch of willing students in the privacy of your own room or perhaps a fast-food restaurant or wherever.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one is going to bat an eyelid provided that you&nbsp;keep a relatively&nbsp;low profile. Back in my freelance teaching days, I even had a chief police officer as one of my private students. He would come to the house twice a week for a couple of hours of conversation practice and he loved studying with me!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We actually became great friends and I used to love to listen to his stories of tracking down credit card fraudsters and con-men. The lessons were as much fun for me as they were for him.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Your house as a classroom &nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are looking to rent a house in order to set up a private teaching business (as I did in the 90s) then you seriously need to pay attention to location.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your house needs to be easy to find because you\'ll need to give directions over the telephone once potential students start hearing your name and getting recommendations that there is a \'good teacher\' living in the neighborhood&nbsp;and offering English lessons. Word can spread very quickly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If your Thai language skills are not up to scratch, you\'ll need to ‘recruit\' a willing Thai friend or Thai&nbsp;partner to deal with the enquiries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nothing will lose you customers faster than insisting your prospects have to speak English on the phone. Many Thais will struggle through a few sentences and then eventually&nbsp;hang up out of frustration and embarrassment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally, I always taught private lessons from a house.&nbsp;With a house, you&nbsp;can easily&nbsp;convert a spare bedroom into quite a nice learning environment by furnishing it with a whiteboard, a table, a few office chairs and one or two tasteful prints on the wall.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I also used to put photographs of my family and snapshots of life back in England on a nice big cork-board.&nbsp;Thais love looking at photographs - especially ones of you and your family. Photos were not only a great way to initiate conversation practice during lessons but they were also a good marketing tool.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you have a potential customer sitting down in your office / classroom and you\'re talking prices and schedules and suitability, etc, they feel more comfortable dealing with someone who clearly has a very human side and loves his family and friends, etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve always felt that teachers who try to teach from their tiny, studio apartments never seem to do as well as the teacher with a small house and room to spare. There\'s something tacky about conducting a lesson in full view of your bed and dirty laundry basket, but perhaps that\'s just me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a house you can keep your living and working areas totally separate.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Location is key</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Going back to the importance of location, it\'s generally the middle-classes and above who are going to form your client base (in other words, those who can afford your fees)&nbsp;so you want to be on top of them or at least near them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one is going to travel miles and miles every week for a two-hour lesson - it doesn\'t matter how good a teacher you are.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Mobile freelancers</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve known several teachers specialize in becoming a ‘mobile teacher\' - very often with a motorcycle to improve their mobility.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\'Mobile freelance teachers\' will target a specific area or large housing estate giving private lessons to housewives during the day and often their children after school.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This kind of approach to freelance teaching&nbsp;can be very successful, but considerable time&nbsp;can be&nbsp;wasted zipping from lesson to lesson.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you teach from home, the onus is on the student to be there at the agreed time and it\'s always going to be possible for you, the teacher,&nbsp;to squeeze more students into a working day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So teaching from home, a typical daily schedule with five ‘blocks\' might look something&nbsp;like this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>9-11am, 11.30-1.30pm, 2.00-4.00pm, 4.30-6.30pm, 7.00-9.00pm.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Peak vs off-peak</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Once word gets around and&nbsp;you&nbsp;earn&nbsp;the reputation&nbsp;as a decent and reliable teacher, you\'ll have little problem filling these blocks at the weekend - but during the week, it will be a very different story. Kids are at school during the day and parents are out either working or shopping.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You might want to consider reducing your prices a little for ‘off-peak\' study. Off-peak customers are like gold.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The pricing headache</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Teachers always have difficulty in deciding on and fixing a price for an hourly lesson. We all figure we know what we are worth, but it\'s sometimes difficult to look your prospects in the eye and tell them how much you want for your services.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You have to become ruthless. It\'s as simple as that. Bear in mind I am going back a few years, but I used to charge 500 baht an hour for a one-on-one lesson, 700 baht an hour for two students and 900 baht an hour for three. I would probably charge&nbsp;considerably more than those rates if I ever started the business up again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For me, time is the most valuable commodity. There is never enough of it. And if someone is going to take up an hour of my time, then I need to be reimbursed.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Study with a friend</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Keeping the above student rates in mind, it makes sound business sense to encourage individual students to find a friend - better still find two friends.&nbsp;The teacher&nbsp;ends up with more income, the students get a cheaper price per head, and it\'s far easier to teach a group than it is&nbsp;to teach one student alone. Everybody\'s happy. It\'s a win-win situation!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to pricing, you ALWAYS want money up-front. Insist that students pay for at least ten hours in advance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai private students&nbsp;are notorious for canceling lessons at the last minute and you need to give yourself some kind of security.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tell students you will allow them one cancellation per ten hours provided they give you 24 hours notice. In reality this is easier said than done because very often a bond does develop between the teacher and student and the students become \'friends\' as well as customers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I once had one student - a lovely girl - cancel at the last minute on four successive Saturday mornings, with her excuses becoming more and more pathetic each time. She must have cremated her grandmother at least three times!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, I decided to refund her money and basically told her to find another teacher. And I swore it would be the last time that students viewed me as a ‘soft touch\'. Keep your freelance teaching as a business. Don\'t earn a reputation as a teacher who can be manipulated and taken advantage of. But do it in a nice way of course.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Why money in advance?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I used to have students pay for ten hours in advance (rather than 20 or 30) because it gave me time to evaluate them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are they serious about learning or are they forced to study by well-intentioned parents?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Did the student&nbsp;start the lessons with the best intentions but they are now becoming bored and fidgety?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do you literally dread the moment when&nbsp;your private&nbsp;student&nbsp;rings the doorbell?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After ten hours, you can always come up with an excuse not to teach them anymore. \"Sorry, I have to work at the office on Saturdays from now on\" was always my time-honored favorite.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>All students are different</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I once did a 30-hour course with a middle-aged businesswoman who wanted to hone her business writing skills. She was a joy to teach. She was full of questions from the moment she arrived and sat down. And it was a topic I was only too happy to offer guidance with. The lessons used to fly by.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Disappointingly, this kind of student is often in the minority. Most of your requests to teach will be from adults who are false or rank beginners, or parents wanting you to teach their very young children or their teenage sons and daughters.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You\'re a better man than I am if you want to take on teaching children from home. Children need room to run around and make a nuisance of themselves. You just won\'t be able to keep kiddies entertained in the average-sized townhouse.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The terrible teens</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Teenagers, especially males, can be the worst students of all. I\'ve had parents knock on my door and&nbsp;beg me to&nbsp;take on their little teenage&nbsp;Somchai, who hasn\'t spoken to anyone in over&nbsp;two years ever since he started sprouting facial hair.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Why on earth do they think he\'s going to talk to me? \"Sorry but I\'m fully booked right now\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Take it from me - when you\'re facing two hours in the company of a bored, self-conscious teenager swiveling around in his chair and looking at everything in the room except you - five hundred baht an hour suddenly seems nowhere near enough.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t want to tar all teenagers with the same brush though. I had many teenagers who made great students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Get your marketing head on</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So you\'ve got your house or your apartment, and you\'ve got your classroom set up and you are all ready to go. OK, so where are your students going to come from?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the beginning, the marketing of your freelance teaching business is always the most difficult part. You will certainly need some business acumen to survive.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most effective way I found to find students was to put a simple notice on the garden gate. Something like \'English teacher - reasonable hourly rates\' Even though I lived on a quiet soi, with probably ten cars an hour driving past, I would often see drivers slow down or double-back to read my notice on the garden gate and jot down the contact details. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you\'ve found your first half a dozen customers, word of mouth will often carry you the rest of the way - unless you\'re a hopeless teacher of course. It\'s finding those first half a dozen students that\'s probably your biggest challenge.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Handing out flyers in the street or door-to-door leaflet delivery never or rarely works. Statistics show that the feedback is often less than 1%. In addition, you\'ll have to pay someone to do the leaflet distribution for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, leaflet distributors and reliability are not entirely synonymous and it\'s a fair bet that most of your two thousand flyers will end up&nbsp;in a ditch&nbsp;somewhere, and you\'ll be left sitting at home wondering why the phone never rings.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This actually happened to me. I paid a bunch of local layabouts a few hundred baht each to deliver a couple of thousand flyers door-to-door. The following day, a neigbor rang my doorbell to tell me the flyers had all been dumped in her front garden.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One very effective form of advertising I came up with was to have large stickers made up advertising my teaching services. I then paid the local songthaew drivers 200 baht each to put the stickers where their passengers could see them. I got a lot of phone calls and enquiries as a result.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Target small businesses</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t underestimate the potential of small businesses in your neighborhood to become&nbsp;clients. You might want to target small office firms and companies with say fewer than 10 employees for your leaflet distribution (it you go down that route).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It can be quite appealing for smaller companies to put together a group of 4-5 people if a) your home is relatively near their office and b) you can gear lessons towards their particular line of work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But again, be ruthless! If the boss of the company rings you up one week and says \"sorry we don\'t have time to study because we are preparing for an overseas exhibition\" and the next week it\'s another excuse - you are better off knocking it on the head and looking for other customers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Companies - even small companies - can be notorious time-wasters.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The work is out there!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Good luck with your freelance teaching business. Some teachers make a great success of it and others fail miserably.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You will need to be smart, professional and friendly and as I said earlier, you will certainly need to have some business acumen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Negotiation skills will also come in handy for those times when you want to charge a thousand baht an hour and your customer had budgeted for a couple of hundred baht at most.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Case scenarios</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I know a guy and gave up a well-paying teaching job in Japan and came to Bangkok with the sole aim of targeting the rich Japanese housewives (and their kids) in the Sukhumwit 33 / Thonglor areas.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not only was he a very good English teacher, but he could also speak fluent Japanese and knew Japanese culture inside out. Within six weeks he was creaming 70,000 baht a month from students gained purely by word of mouth. And he always seemed to have plenty of time for himself. It can be done!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum, I worked with a Canadian lady who tried freelance teaching as a way to supplement her full-time salary. She set herself up with a couple of private Thai students - both female business-owners - but made fatal errors of judgment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The students didn\'t have a clear objective of what they wanted out of the lessons (beware of the student who says \"just give me conversation\") - and business owners are always busy. They will often do a couple of sessions to lead you into a false sense of security and then those horrible last-minute cancellations start creeping in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before long, the teacher finds that their heart just isn\'t in it. Your heart needs to be in it if you want to be a successful freelance teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Reciprocal arrangements</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When I made the decision to improve my spoken Thai, I found a charming middle-aged lady who owned a small&nbsp;shop and seemed to have plenty of free time on her hands. We would meet twice a week. I taught her English for an hour and she taught me Thai for an hour in a reciprocal arrangement where no money actually changed hands.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The arrangement worked very, very well and I mention this because it might be something to consider if your objective is to study Thai and you don\'t much care about making extra money.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Work smart, not hard</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I would always describe freelance teaching as the \'icing on the cake\'. It\'s the chance to boost your main teaching salary by say 10,000 baht a month (as I used to do)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you take a look at our <a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living\">cost of living section</a>, you will see that anyone who teaches private students on the side treats it as a seperate, additional income to their main day job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I would never suggest you gave up your day job to become a full-time freelance teacher because I don\'t believe there is enough work around in the Monday to Friday daytime slots. Most students want to study at the weekend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m also a great believer in working smart and not working hard. I used to teach private students for a couple of hours, two evenings a week and I might sometimes do a group class on Sunday mornings for a couple of hours. That was enough. I placed too much value on my free time to want to take on any more teaching work that that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And those few hours a week were enough to bring in another 10,000 baht a month. That extra money made a big difference to my lifestyle and spending power. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/freelance_teaching.jpg','2017-11-16 17:54:00',1,'2017-02-15 17:54:31','2018-08-27 15:36:07'),(786,21,'When illness strikes','when-illness-strikes','Are you prepared for the unhealthier times?','As the old saying goes - don\'t leave home without it! Not your health insurance card anyway. ','<p>I held a Thai health insurance card for around eight years. For seven of those years it remained in some dark and secret compartment of my wallet, only being fished out when I had the sudden urge to check on the expiry date.</p>\n<p>I often felt that the annual expense of renewing the card was something I just didn\'t need to pay, especially when you consider that the policy didn\'t cover me for out-patient visits (which most hospital visits tend to be) and I appeared to be in relatively good health.</p>\n<p>In fact other than an eye infection, which cleared up within twenty four hours, and a minor operation to remove a tiny growth from the back of my neck (which cost barely a thousand baht), I can\'t think of any other time during that seven-year period when I took advantage of Thailand\'s medical services.</p>\n<p>Then I reached my fortieth birthday and it all seemed to go horribly wrong.</p>\n<p>Just four days after I\'d blown out the candles, I went to bed before midnight with a strange pain in my side. It was nothing too alarming but rather like the old &lsquo;stitch\' that you used to get after you\'d completed an exhausting cross-country run. Somehow I managed to fall asleep though.</p>\n<p>Then at about four in the morning I woke up in agony. The pain coming from my lower abdomen was excruciating. I paced around the bedroom for half an hour willing it to go away. But the pain just got worse.</p>\n<p>I threw on some clothes, locked the house and then stumbled the quarter kilometer to the main Rama 9 road (pausing several times to throw up on the way). The taxi driver who picked me up fortunately realized the gravity of the situation and got me to Samithivej hospital in Thonglor within minutes (he rode at least two red lights).</p>\n<p>Upon reaching the hospital doors the pain got worse and I literally sprinted up to the duty receptionist screaming for help and attention. For those who don\'t know Samithiwej hospital, it fits easily into the five-star luxury category (in my blind panic it had been the nearest hospital I could think of) and true to form, the night staff rallied round to bring a wheelchair, mop my brow, show genuine sympathy and finally pump me full of painkillers.</p>\n<p>To cut a very long story short, because I don\'t want to turn into one of those sad middle-aged men that likes showing off his battle scars, I was admitted to the hospital for three days, underwent an emergency operation to remove a kidney stone and at the end of the ordeal was presented with a bill for 107,000 baht.</p>\n<p>The health insurance company thankfully coughed up almost 95% of it. If I had been unsure up to that point that health insurance was all a waste of time, then I had just been given one hell of a wake-up call.</p>\n<p>Health insurance is something you cannot afford to be without! And yet most of the teachers I seem to meet with have little or no cover whatsoever.

Like so many others, I\'d grown disillusioned with life in the UK and the whole nine to five existence, and just knew there was something better out there for me. I got myself a world atlas and a pin...and the rest is history.</p>\n<p>I knew right from the start that teaching English was the most realistic way of earning enough money to survive, but I never fell into the trap of thinking that it was the only way. I was constantly keeping an ear to the ground for something better. By &lsquo;better\', I mean something better-paid than the 150 baht an hour I was earning and something that would rescue me from the daily grind of riding Bangkok buses from one freelance job to another.</p>\n<p>I taught English for three very long years. I was actually extremely good at it and the students loved me. Re-enrolments were never ever a problem. But I\'d be constantly looking around me at the crummy apartment I was in and the fact that I was living this hand-to mouth, day to day existence. I just couldn\'t see myself teaching English for years on end. I had in truth, grown to hate it.</p>\n<p>My big break came totally out of the blue. I was teaching a group of corporate students and one of them told me that she knew a farang guy (Indian actually) who was looking for a European or American person to sell advertising space in some of Bangkok\'s best-known &lsquo;middle-class\' magazines.</p>\n<p>I decided to give it a go, and knew from day one that I had found my niche. You need one major quality to sell advertising space in Thailand - you need to have no shame.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been doing this for six years now, and I never think twice about calling up the head of a company to ask if they are interested in what I\'ve got to offer. If there\'s an appointment to be got, then I\'m the man to get it. I\'m aggressive without being pushy and I can flatter people without coming across as insincere. That\'s been the secret of my success.</p>\n<p>The rewards have been huge. I\'ve just bought my second condominium cash (I rent out the first one) and I\'m smoking around in a brand new motor. My daughter just started international school and I\'m earning enough to employ a full-time nanny. Yet underneath, I\'m basically the same guy that taught English for 150 baht an hour.</p>\n<p>You\'ll like this, but every Saturday morning, I still give English lessons to a young girl and her mother at their family home because they were my first ever students and they told me they could never study with anyone else. I have increased the rate to 400 baht an hour though (as if I need the money)</p>\n<p>Stories like that of Jonathon\'s above will undoubtedly lift the spirits of many a dejected teacher. It\'s very easy to look at the Ministry of Employment\'s list of occupations prohibited to foreigners and think to yourself &lsquo;is teaching English really all there is?\' and indeed one of the most common emails we receive at ajarn.com is from someone who feels that they would be better suited to anything, absolutely anything bar teaching English.</p>\n<p>These stories are not presented to belittle English language teaching at all, but to show that for some &lsquo;lucky souls\' - where there\'s a will......there\'s always a way.</p>\n<h3>Derrick</h3>\n<p>Derrick from Reading hated Bangkok from day one. \"I really didn\'t know what people saw in the place. Noisy, dirty, congested hell-hole. I couldn\'t wait to get out.</p>\n<p>This was about 1992, and it seemed like even though I loathed Bangkok, I was a prisoner there because Bangkok was where all the jobs were. It wasn\'t like it is now where you have teaching vacancies the length and breadth of the country. I can\'t understand why someone would stay in Bangkok now unless they were earning in excess of 50,000 baht a month.</p>\n<p>I did English teaching for a few months before moving to Hua Hin a bit further south. I was lucky to hook up with a Thai partner who also happened to be a very good business lady, and together we pooled our savings and opened up a small restaurant. As Hua Hin has developed I\'ve gone on to do other things. I\'d rather not say what they are but they\'re well within the realms of the law.</p>\n<p>I\'m convinced that Thailand is a land of immense opportunity but there is certainly a &lsquo;right place at the right time\' factor. I\'m no businessman but everything I\'ve touched has turned to gold. I guess I\'ve just smiled a lot at people. Yes, that\'s definitely it. I\'ve kissed a considerable amount of ass over the years, but I certainly don\'t feel ashamed about it.</p>\n<h3>Alec</h3>\n<p>\"I suppose you might classify me as an in-house company teacher, but I do very little actual face-to-face teaching these days\" says Alec from Scotland.</p>\n<p>I was originally employed by a large multi-national company to give language tuition to as many staff as I possibly could with a bit of proof-reading and help desk work thrown in.</p>\n<p>As I became more and more familiar with the company\'s products and the company procedures, I became much more valuable.</p>\n<p>Now I\'m the classic jack-of all-trades. I can meet clients and give sales presentations. I can promote the products and services all over Asia. And it all started from teaching English. Don\'t get me wrong, I still love to teach but nowadays, I feel I play a crucial part in the overall company itself.</p>\n<p>Yes, I was lucky to join a company who appreciated my talents. Many companies will employ you as an in-house teacher and see you as exactly that, but take my advice - develop interests in as many areas of the company as possible\"</p>\n<h3>Dave</h3>\n<p>Dave from the USA has worked at many different jobs during his eight years in Thailand, and has an interesting approach. \"Networking is what it\'s all about. There\'s no secret formula - the more people you meet, the more doors will open. It\'s common sense really.</p>\n<p>You have to meet the right people though, and that\'s usually foreigners in high positions. When I first started out teaching (and I didn\'t last long at it) I worked with some big-shot financial consultant who was looking to get into something similar over here. He admitted to me that the only reason he signed up as a corporate teacher was to make contacts. As soon as he\'d taught three groups of Thai junior managers who\'d never made a decision in life between them, he realized that his strategy was all wrong.</p>\n<p>Meeting the right people is paramount and you rarely/never do that by teaching English.</p>\n<p>I joined up with the various chambers of commerce - the Canadian, the British, the American - and as part of the membership deal, you get invited to all sorts of networking evenings by the poolside at some fancy hotel. Sure it can be bloody painful walking around making endless small talk but you\'d be amazed how many members will come out with the magical &lsquo;our company could use a guy like you\'.</p>\n<p>These are the jobs that never get advertised. They\'re out there. They truly are\"</p>\n<h3>Erika</h3>\n<p>Erika, also from the USA, has done well as a freelance writer. \"There\'s nothing radically wrong with teaching English but it just doesn\'t pay enough. A lot of Americans have crippling student loans still to pay off and earning 25-30,000 baht a month isn\'t going to put much of a dent in it.</p>\n<p>I work for several SE Asian magazines and I find that the economic and political magazines pay quite well. But for me, it\'s the freedom. I tend to be a nocturnal creature, and I can work till three or four in the morning and get up at midday. I just can\'t imagine me getting up and battling the traffic to get there in time for an eight o clock class. Yeah, working from home is nice\"</p>\n<h3>Barry</h3>\n<p>Barry from the North of England was a victim of the global IT recession so brought his talents as a website designer to Thailand. \"I quickly realized two things when it comes to Thais designing websites. They are generally good at the cosmetic &lsquo;fun\' things that go into making a professional website, but they lack attention to detail.</p>\n<p>I decided to get myself a Thai partner and start up on my own, and only approaching the larger companies who had an eye for quality and the budget to match. Believe it or not, I\'ve done really well. I only need one or two good clients a month to give me a very nice living.</p>\n<p>The marketing side can be a pain - it always is - and I\'m not particularly good with negotiating fees but I get by. I\'m not outrageously expensive but I\'d like to think I\'m up there with the best Thailand has to offer in the way of corporate website design.</p>\n<p>I\'ve even taken on a couple of Thai staff to help with the day-to-day tasks but I keep my eye on them and make sure that every page is proofread at least half a dozen times\"</p>\n<h3>Benno</h3>\n<p>I think many of us have wandered around the weekend market, looking at some of those amazing handicrafts and antiques, and thought about exporting to the west and then sitting back and reaping the cash.</p>\n<p>For some, the export lark has worked, but for many it\'s remained just an impossible dream. Benno from Switzerland has been buying up silver jewelry in the Bangrak area of Bangkok for over five years and is already thinking about semi-retirement.</p>\n<p>\"All I ever dreamt about was living in Thailand, but what was I going to do? I didn\'t see myself as an English teacher, although I certainly gave it a go. There had to be one thing that I could buy here cheaply and sell at a good profit in the west.</p>\n<p>The answer was silver jewelry, marcasite jewelry, and a semi-precious stone called Lapis. I researched the markets in several countries around the world and homed in on Italy of all places. I\'ve made a huge killing there.</p>\n<p>You have to believe in what you are doing. You will meet obstacles along the way and they will have to be overcome, but there is a market for everything. Never sit back and think that all the good export ideas have already gone\"</p>\n<h3>Lester</h3>\n<p>Find something inexpensive that will sell well abroad and then exploit it. You\'ll get the same advice from Lester, a confident, slightly brash Londoner, who has been buying up half of Chinatown since quitting his teaching job over two years ago.</p>\n<p>\"Basically, I sell Thailand-produced goods to people all over the world via internet auctions. It sounds easy but there\'s a huge learning curve involved. There are payment methods to be worked out, shipping costs to be taken into consideration, and then there\'s always the time-wasters, but hit it right and you\'ll make a packet.</p>\n<p>I\'m on first name terms with everyone at the local post office - I traipse down there at least three times a week to send my little packages all over the world. Nothing illegal you understand - simply stuff that people can\'t get unless they come to Thailand (laughs) and other than that, my lips are sealed. I don\'t really want the competition\"</p>\n<p>Lester did also mention that he makes six times the amount of money that he did as a teacher.</p>\n<h3>Trudy</h3>\n<p>For some folk it\'s not about the monetary rewards. Job satisfaction comes high up the list. Trudy from Canada has worked at a graphic design company in Bangkok for 18 months.</p>\n<p>\"Graphic design has always been my profession and I love living in Thailand, so what a perfect combination. Unfortunately I only earn 20-25K as a graphic designer, which is on a par with the Thai staff. I suppose it\'s because I work faster than everyone else and can make deadlines. That\'s how I landed the job.</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard of several well-paying graphic design positions but I like the people I work with and I come into the office whenever I want (lowers voice to a whisper), But I do teach English a little bit as well\"</p>\n<h3>Greg</h3>\n<p>And finally the movie star - Greg from Newcastle in the north of England. We\'ve all heard the stories of Khao san Road backpackers working as extras for a thousand baht a day and all the grub you can eat, but for Greg, he\'s found his own niche in the Thai movie industry.</p>\n<p>\"Look at me. I\'m hardly what you\'d call Sean Connery, but I\'m turning work away left right and center. And well-paid work too! 7,000 baht a day minimum. The film industry can be tiring - loads of standing around doing nothing and waiting for takes, but at 7,000 a day, you don\'t need many gigs a month to make a comfortable living, and the Thai directors are now finding much larger budgets at their disposal.</p>\n<p>That said, most of my work is in advertising, so the next time you\'re at the movie theater and see this big-nosed farang getting out of a helicopter with a bottle of premium whisky - give me a wave.

Is it really enough to live on? The fur really flies in our heated ajarn debate. So how much do you really need to earn in order to survive? A selection of teachers have their say on the whole issue of pay scales.','<p>I have lived and taught here in Thailand since early 1998. The salaries leave us living from month to month even if we adjust to a moderate lifestyle. Like so many other farongs in Thailand I am always amazed at how such an incredibly kind and generous people such as the Thais can be so incredibly selfish when it comes to the sharing of their wealth. So many claim that Thailand is a \"poor developing nation\"....yeah right !!!! How many Mercedes Benz cars do we see driving around the nation, nice houses, nice clothes, eat out almost every night, laundry ladies, servants....a lot of wealth here. The fact is, the rich are completely unwilling to spread the wealth around. They have a \"user\" attitude towards employees....both Thai and Falang. We are their ticket to the \"cash cow\". We are all fools. We support and encourage the temporary \"backpacker\" teachers at our own demise. As long as we provide an easy source of unqualified and unprofessional so-called \"teachers\" then we will all pay the price. I believe the best course of action is to only advertise jobs on Ajarn.com that pay a minimum salary (30-35,000 does sound OK) and boycott posting all other jobs. On the resume \"teachers available\" postings, set up a format that includes qualifications and references. Yes this can be circumvented but at least some honest and qualified people will be able to compete with the deadbeats that are lowering the salaries for all of us and creating a mindset amongst the Thais the we are disposable and replaceable at the drop of a hat. What we need is a unified front and a common objective that benefits both the best employers and the best teachers. Get rid of the rest. OK....enough said. Good luck with your efforts. Have a great day.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>You don\'t know me, but I saw your invitation to comment on farong teacher salaries and couldn\'t resist suggesting the following acronym for any site That might evolve out of this topic: The State of Salaries (SOS).</p>\n<p>\n<p>But on a more serious note, I don\'t see a way to change the pay scale as long as there is a ready supply of teachers willing to work at the current rates. The manipulation of supply and demand is accomplished by most professions through licensing schemes. However, it doesn\'t seem to me as though farong English teachers in Thailand are part of a profession. I guess it is more of a trade. But, never the less, it is a pseudo-profession and it is ruled by the \'certifying authorities.\'</p>\n<p>The certifiers will sell a certificate to anyone that can pay their fees. Something along the lines of \"Those that can certificate, certify. Those that can\'t, teach\". That certifying bunch is laughing all the way to the bank.In all fairness, I do think that the certification process, as it exists today, is of some use. What I\'m suggesting is that meaningful change in the area of salaries will necessitate modifying the certification process.</p>\n</p>\n<p>A recent posting on the ajarn.com job board is promoting a \'partnership\' of corporate teacher/trainers. That venture may prove to be of some interest. However, it is not addressing the issue of salary rates. It is, rather, trying to maximise income by reducing overhead in a variety of ways.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>You may have noticed my many posts on this board ranting about the pathetic salaries offered English teachers in Thailand. By acknowledging this problem you have already taken an important step. Here are a few additional ideas.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Educate recruiters at the various language schools. Are employers aware of the benefits of investing in a trained teacher, or at least employing someone with a commitment to teach?</p>\n<p>Do not provide a forum for schools with ridiculous compensation packages. I would be willing to bet that most schools that advertise on the \'Ajarn.com\' website gauge what to pay a teacher based on what the competition is offering. It then becomes a vicious cycle!</p>\n</p>\n<p>Lets agree on what\'s considered an acceptable salary range for TEFL/TESL teachers. Does the teacher have a degree? An teaching certification? or is their only qualification that they are a native speaker?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I don\'t have the answer to lifting pay scales for various foreign teachers, but I would like to request some sort of code to designate what the schools are actually paying. I have interviewed in several schools recently for international primary teacher. Problem was, not ethically valid to ask before an interview is granted what they pay. So you go, waste, time money, energy getting out to these far flung schools and when they ask \"what kind of pay are you looking at\", their eyes pop out when you tell them 100000 baht or more. One offered me \"maybe 65000\". This was a school that is due to start its first year in August. There are many new schools opening this year. The administrators haven\'t a clue as to the difference of opening a school and getting it accredited and running correctly, and an established school. Teachers and admin people at the schools should be asking salary requirements before they give an interview......it would save them time too. Perhaps a letter next to a school name to denote a pay range, like Siam International School - Range \"C\".......A - could be 10000 - 20000 baht, B - 20000 - 40000 C- 40000 - 60000 D - 60000 - 80000 E - 80000 - 100000 etc. I don\'t know what would work. It would save me given administrators a heart attack when I tell them what I would like for pay. It seemed they already had negotiated the wage each time before I was even asked<br />Anyway, this is why teachers teach elsewhere I guess (we are not all money-mongers, but we don\'t have a Thai family to fall back on when we retire). I will be going back to teach in Alaska...not that I want to, but not much luck here with being honest at interviews with \'what I think I am worth\'</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Good idea to be a little more discerning regarding the quality of jobs that ajarn will post.</p>\n<p>\n<p>A minimum, and reasonable, amount should be a pre-requisate. But, please remember to take into account where the job is located.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I would give my left nut for a 25,000 Baht/month job right now, but I am in Khon Kaen and have heard that this is more than reasonable for a greenhorn such as myself. Possibly there could be 3 post pages. One for decent jobs in Bangkok, one for \'the Sticks\' and another for all of the shit ones combined. Just a suggestion. <br />hi phil...i\'ve got no idea how we can work together to change these pathetic salaries...i\'m still green in the teaching profession, and it\'s not for want of trying...ok, for a start, i am still a student, so even with a tefl, could still be in the lower salary range, but i am mature, responsible, presentable, reliable, professional, intelligent and capable...and won\'t work for inlingua (that\'s between you and me), an international, \"reputable\" language school, for an insulting 220 baht per hour...am i desperate??? i mean, if i keep knocking back these ridiculous offers, i will indeed become desperate...but some unshaven, uncouth sex tourist with a degree from the university of koh sarn road will anyway get there before me, in effect robbing me of my paltry 220 baht plus sneaky, just as paltry, end of course bonuses to make it look like you\'re earning more...i genuinely want to develop my english teaching experience, but if i wanted to do it for free, i\'d be in some poor dusty village in the middle of africa, not bangkok...and i still have the bloody problem of not being able to teach adult or corporate classes cos i\'m too young, too pretty...but that\'s a different story...i am even considering dodgy jobs for a bit (yup, telesales) cos it\'s better paid and i can still justify it to myself by \"well, it\'s a learning experience\"...and at least when i do get that 450baht per hour corporate class, i\'ll be able to say \"financial consultancy, offshore banking, tax-efficiency, commission, incentives\"...etcetc... the point is, as i\'m sure you well know, the situation will never change so long as there are farang in thailand desperate to stay here, doing anything to stay here... as for me, i have to keep my options open, and go where the money is...i don\'t need much, but i like to be paid what i\'m worth... all i can suggest is keeping my fingers crossed...</p>\n<hr />\n<p>As a Director of Studies of a major institute in Thailand, I would like to share some of my thoughts on the issues of the low payment that many English instructors complain about on your web site.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The first issues to realize are: Thailand is more or less a poor and developing country yet and doesn\'t have the huge budgets, salaries and company profits found in western countries.</p>\n<p>We have many highly educated Thais merely earning 9,000 to 15,000 Baht per month for working 10 to 12 hours a day and without receiving any overtime payment.</p>\n<p>In my past 10 years of doing business in Thailand, I have met and interviewed hundreds of unqualified English instructor applicants that never attended any type of upper education, more than attending high school.</p>\n<p>So, I wonder how these English instructors can expect to make double or triple the amounts of salaries of the educated and experienced Thais for just walking into a class unprepared, late, and dominating the class by speaking about what they enjoy most, just to waste the two hours of the class to get paid and without having any outcome or student advancement once the course has been completed?</p>\n<p>In most cases, after the training course has been completed, the students cannot communicate any better than when the class began. Why?</p>\n<p>I would have to say that 90% of the so called English instructors teaching for most schools in Thailand are not really professionally skilled instructors. In many cases, they can\'t even spell their own language well and are not able to teach the staff or student the actual way of communication.</p>\n<p>The English instructors just follow the provided textbook to teach the students more and more useless English grammar, since it is easy to teach without putting any efforts into getting people to learn the language as we learned it. We didn\'t learn to speak English by following textbooks based on grammar, did we?</p>\n<p>It takes a lot of effort and input to teach a language, which requires an outgoing person to perform the training well and an instructor with the skills of actual teaching which cannot be acquired by taking a useless 120 hour TEFOL course offered by many hungry institutes. I know that is takes at least of 8 years of university to become a teacher in a western country, so how can is be learnt in 120 hours? And as we all know, not everyone walking the streets of Thailand is a born teacher, a doctor or a lawyer, so how can we presume that any person that comes to Thailand is a qualified teacher? It\'s just an acquired job that most English teachers become by moving to Thailand to earn a living.</p>\n<p>Think of this, maybe those low paid English teachers should consider making more money by becoming a doctor in Thailand. They could begin the same way as they became an over night English teacher, just walk into a hospital and I say \"I am a highly experienced Doctor\" and I can practice on your patients well. Ha ha.</p>\n<p>The second point of the low payment issue. Many Thai companies and students have had some type of English training in the past, and they were probably trained by these inexperienced so-called English teachers, therefore not advancing to a higher level of communication.</p>\n<p>The companies or staffs have tried so many schools in hopes to receive good communication skills as promised they would at every school and have discovered that most schools and teachers follow the same pattern. Since the English instructors go around from school to school and company to company providing the same type of poor training.</p>\n<p>And nowadays those companies cannot justify paying high rates of tuition for receiving the same type of poor training and as a result, it has become harder and harder for our sales staff to convince the companies that we can offer better training than their last institute did. Would you pay for a high priced dinner, knowing you are going to get a McDonalds hamburger? I don\'t think so.</p>\n<p>Another fact, there are hundreds of hungry schools operating around Thailand and new ones being opened each month which has made a great amount of competition.</p>\n<p>In the last few years we all had to lower our hourly training rate from 1,500 Baht per hour to less than 1,000 Baht per hour.</p>\n<p>If you would take out your calculators to do some simple math, you will see how much profit is left over for the institute after paying 30% income taxes to the Thai government, the high cost of rent, utilities, the needed Thai staff and other expenses to remain in business. And also having to survive through the lean times of the year. So how can we afford to pay the instructor more than they are earning?</p>\n</p>\n<p>I would really like to suggest that the English instructors that feel they are not earning enough salary, pick and go back home instead of wasting their time here, since the rates can not ever go up to please their needs.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Certainly you have support from me.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The employers have certain amounts of networking. They can follow up people; why can\'t we? I know a lot of disgruntled teachers.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, things are rather fluid with a high turnover of Teachers. This is an employers\' market with workers the meat in the sandwich - we are very replaceable and basically of no inmportance. Your good idea will fall short of slowing down the unscrupulous because there are any amount of canon-fodder teachers to take up the slack.</p>\n</p>\n<p>There\'s the weak link (us!!).</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Let me start by saying that I am all for raising the profile and standards of English teaching in this country. You would know better than most of us I\'m sure that it is long overdue. Whilst I can imagine that 25,000 is peanuts in Bangkok and is only going to attract monkeys I have taught for just over a year in the south of Thailand (Trang) and this is more than adequate in my humble opinion. So while I agree that for a qualified and experienced teacher in Bangkok should be at least on a minimum of 30,000+ 25,000 is acceptable in small provincial towns in the south and upcountry.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I\'m sure you have a thought about this, but how do you try and eliminate that backpacker type teacher who is just trying to extend their holiday and is willing to accept these 300baht per hour jobs and low salaries? Seems there will always be a market for this and it only serves to drag the rest of the industry down with it.</p>\n<p>I would be more than happy to see EFL teachers, including myself, getting a better salary, and not being exploited by unscrupulous companies that only care about money and not education. Despite that -and I don\'t want to burst your bubble here- there are certain conditions that need to be considered before attempting any change and that might prevent the teaching community from achieving its goals. Firstly, many travellers will be willing to get jobs promising a \'competitive salary\' just for the sake of covering their expenses herein Thailand. Secondly, there will always those who will be more interested in the visa rather than the salary, and won\'t mind working for less. Thirdly, those schools outside of Bangkok will continue using the excuse that costs are less living in the province than living in a city like Bangkok. I believe that it\'s difficult to achieve a better standard given the diversity of people and their interests. Yet, we\'ve got nothing to lose, and if all professional teachers -I\'m saying professional to separate ourselves from those for whom EFL is just a passing profession- stayed clear of such offers, then a change could happen. I certainly hope so.</p>\n</p>\n<p>A personal note: I live in Phuket, where it\'s very difficult finding a decent job. The only place that offers a visa and \'competitive salary\' poses incredible conditions to its teachers: having to do 2-3 summer camps a year, holidays which can never be taken, extra work if they think that you\'re not working a lot, just to name a few!! All others, offer less than 200 Baht an hour, or so I\'ve heard.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>Having lived and worked in Thailand for almost three years for lousy pay, and having now left to work in a country where the pay is much better, I have come to some conclusions about why Thailand can get away with paying such bad wages to teachers. I think it\'s because of the dearth of sleazy, flea-bag western men who are willing to put up with the wages because they are not qualified, or they are running away from the law in their own country, or more commonly because the Thais will put up with behaviour at work that would get them fired in countries where the job is more lucrative. I mean, for example, turning up to work drunk and bragging about their exploits with bargirls, ( I never understood how it could be possible that anyone could be proud of having to pay for sex),sexually harassing students half their age, screaming and yelling at staff members, not turning up for work, etc. The other thing, I guess is that there are many teachers here who are addicted to their 200 baht pussy and couldn\'t go home even if they had a moment of clarity which told them that they probably needed to. The extra benefits of being treated like a king (instead of a loser), and being able to afford a lot of things one can\'t afford at home must make up for the lousy pay as well. Don\'t get me wrong - I love Thailand and I know that a lot of teachers are there because they love it too, and they deserve to get more money. However, when complaining about the lousy wages, I think we shouldn\'t really be pointing the finger at the Thais only - the noble farangs bumbling around in a kind of sex-addicted alcoholic ego-demented daze don\'t help the case. What do you think???</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/nomoney.jpg','2006-06-21 16:34:14',1,'2006-06-21 16:34:14','2009-10-27 10:10:15'),(789,21,'The ajarn.com guide to renting an apartment','the-ajarn.com-guide-to-renting-an-apartment','How to find a place you can call home','If you\'re searching for an apartment in Bangkok - or anywhere else in Thailand for that matter - know exactly what to look out for and what questions to ask when you go apartment hunting.','<p>One of the most valuable pieces of advice I could give to a new teacher in Thailand is always find a job <em>before</em> you look for an apartment. The last thing you want is to get settled into new digs and then find your dream job leaves you with a two-hour daily commute through some of the heaviest traffic known to man. I\'ll cover this point and many others in the following guide.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1) What are you looking for in an apartment?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Obviously your choice of apartment will depend on the amount of money you have at your disposal, but in the long run, it pays to spend as much as you can afford on accommodation - especially in Bangkok. Not only will you get something better, but you\'re far less likely to wander the streets in search of entertainment if you have your own apartment where you can relax and enjoy a few creature comforts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For me, an apartment is my little haven - a place where I can be surrounded by books and music, perhaps watch a little TV or a video, or maybe spend time at the computer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">An apartment should have a sizeable balcony where I can sit out and hopefully enjoy some kind of a view or rustle up bacon and eggs on Sunday mornings. Most importantly, I want to know that when I close that apartment door I have total privacy - away from the crowds and the noise and the hustle and bustle of Bangkok life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I\'ve known many teachers who view an apartment as purely a crash-pad - a place to sleep, shower and get changed. Everyone has their own opinion of what a \'perfect\' apartment is.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Before you continue - have a look at how teacher Steve Salyer set about <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/teachers-crib/\">turning his basic apartment into a real home</a>.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2) Location, location and location</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of my good friends has a saying - \"anything over an hour spent traveling to and from work is unacceptable\". While cutting travel-time from home to work to less than an hour is not always possible, your life will be infinitely more pleasurable the less time you spend hanging from the sides of buses or trying to flag down taxis during the monsoon season.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It makes great sense to find employment first and THEN find somewhere to live. Being close to either the skytrain or underground network can make the commute to work a lot easier, but as you would expect, rents are generally higher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teachers have moved into the Bangkok surburbs to places such as Rangsit and Samut Prakarn. The downside is that you&nbsp;could be&nbsp;a long way from the bright lights and the entertainment hot spots&nbsp;- but on the plus side, there&nbsp;can be&nbsp;a&nbsp;stack of work in the suburbs for any teacher with an ounce of business acumen. Think of all those private students you could be teaching in your free time. And apartment-wise you get far more for your money. I know several teachers who ply their trade in the Rangsit area of Bangkok (about 20 kms from downtown) and they all earn decent coin from their freelance teaching.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3) What are the price ranges?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can get apartments in Bangkok for as low as 2,000 - 3,000 baht a month. I certainly don\'t recommend you live in such a place but it\'s possible. Like everything else in life you get what you pay for. Cheap apartments (and by \'cheap\' I mean less than 4,000 baht) are mostly in poorly constructed buildings complete with substandard plumbing and lights that go out every time there\'s the threat of a storm.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Because apartments in this low-end category tend to attract working-class Thais - sometimes sharing three or four to a room - you can have all sorts of problems with noise. Take it from me - when you have a room full of rowdy Thais living next door to you, your problems are going to be never-ending.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many apartments fall into the 5,000 baht to 8,000 baht price range - some are surprisingly good; others can be very poor value for money. Alas, for a teacher earning let\'s say 30,000 baht a month (and plenty still do) this is really all they can afford. If you\'re going to end up in an apartment in this price range, you\'ll need to do some serious shopping around. The quality varies enormously.&nbsp;Some will have swimming pools, rooftop gardens, good&nbsp;security, elevators, mini-marts while others will have few of those amenities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can afford to move into the 10,000 -15,000 baht bracket, you\'ll be amazed at the difference. You might be lucky enough to find a place that has a living room area with a separate bedroom. All of the aforementioned apartments (those at 8,000 and below) are what real estate agents class as \'studio apartments\' and what I call \'bedsits\' - you sleep in your bed, you sit on your bed to watch TV, you even eat meals on your bed. That\'s really no way to live. Imagine the joy, the sheer pleasure, of saying to a guest, \"why don\'t you flick through the TV channels while I go and get changed in the bedroom?\" Now that\'s living!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4) Can I use the services of a real estate agent?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve never used a real estate agent personally and I don\'t know many teachers that do. Generally speaking, the majority of&nbsp;estate agents are only interested in ex-pats on fat relocation salaries. They aren\'t so interested in teachers looking for the world for less than 10,000 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are one or two realtors who\'ll show sympathy towards a teacher in need of a roof over their head, but don\'t expect them to put too much effort into finding you&nbsp;a place. They might dutifully show you a couple of apartments, but as soon as they realize you fall into the category of \'cheap but demanding\' they\'ll be off faster than a ferret on a firework.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re looking for an apartment then a good source is your fellow teachers and colleagues. These guys will have already lived in good and bad apartments and will be in a good position to make recommendations. I might take a bit of flak for this but I never trust Thais who want to show me \'great apartments\'. I\'ve found from painful experience that their definition of \'nice\' and my definition of \'nice\' are not always the same. They mean well but Thais (generally) don\'t attach as much importance to their home environment as a foreigner does.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Still one of the best methods however to finding an apartment is simply decide on the area you want to live in, strap on your sports shoes, and hot-foot it down all those little sois and sub-sois. It\'s amazing what you can unearth. You might want to take a Thai friend with you (if you haven\'t got one then hire one) to ask the numerous questions you\'ll need to ask (coming up later in this ajarn guide)</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5) Utility bills</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately there\'s no way to avoid paying the dreaded electricity, water and telephone bills. If there\'s any bill that\'s going to get \'padded\', or any way that you\'re going to get \'cheated\' (apart from deposit money) then it\'s with the utility bill.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A friend of mine lucked out and got an excellent job that came with a 60,000 baht luxury apartment. The company would pay the rent on the understanding that he was responsible for just the utility bills. After his first month\'s tenure, he presented himself at the office to settle up the utility account. The office staff asked him for 1000 baht to cover the water bill alone - a \'standing charge\' they told him. Being something of an old Bangkok hand - he\'d already lived in four different apartments and never paid more than 150 baht for water - so he refused to pay it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He also told them that he was checking out immediately. Thankfully the apartment owner relented and from then on he got his water for free. I\'m not promising that things will always end that favorably but stand your ground when it comes to utility bills. Make sure that you have access to the respective water and electricity meters and make a note of the totals each month. That\'s not being miserly; it\'s called being careful.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Water and electricity are charged by the unit (the number of units used and the price per unit should be clearly displayed on your apartment bill) and phone calls are charged per call. I\'m a little out of touch with current prices, but I\'m making a guess that water is around 15 baht per unit. The average person (two showers a day and some washing of clothes) would use about 7-10 units per month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Electricity is much more of a grey area. If you blast out air-conditioning all day long, you could be facing a bill of about 3-4,000 baht at the end of the month. Apart from the air-con, very little else uses much in the way of juice. If you have the air-con unit on for about 4 hours a day, you can expect a bill somewhere in the region of 1,000 to 1,500 baht a month. There\'s no avoiding the fact though; utility services are huge money-makers for apartment owners.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6) Facilities</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The availability of swimming pools, gyms and saunas never really bothers me (they\'re often neglected anyway) but I do like to have an accessible mini-mart (that\'s open when I need it), a laundry shop (that doesn\'t take forever to iron two shirts and a pair of pants) and some kind of a restaurant/cafe area.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some apartments provide a small restaurant service for residents and non-residents alike but I\'ve noticed over the years that only foreigners tend to sit down and eat in such places (possibly to escape the confines of the bed-sit) whereas Thais prefer to have food delivered to their rooms. I\'m yet to see anyone make a real success of running an apartment-building restaurant and many close down after a year or two.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apartment laundries are a law unto themselves. Anyone who\'s lived in a Thailand apartment building has their own laundry horror story, whether it\'s a white shirt that suddenly became pink or a pair of shorts that were handed in and never seen again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apartment laundries have a captive market and don\'t they know it. They know you\'re hardly going to walk to some laundry in the next street and carry back ten shirts on ten coat-hangers. So they can take as much time as they want washing your clothes and hell, who\'s bothered if they lose an item or two along the way. I don\'t want to give the impression that all apartment laundries are crap but I\'ve heard plenty of horror stories.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Security / Security Guards</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Security is obviously a major concern for anyone living in an apartment building. Thailand is one of the safest countries to live in I\'m sure - but petty theft has always been a problem.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had someone come in to my apartment at three in the morning - while I was asleep! - and steal my wallet from the dressing table. Totally my fault for leaving the door unlocked but it\'s not what you expect - someone lifting your valuables while you\'re snoozing literally six feet away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What about the different security methods? A system deployed in many apartment buildings is&nbsp;the automatic keycard \'swiping\' system. Every bona fide resident has a plastic entry card that they swipe through a card-reader every time they want access. I have my reservations about the keycard system. It works in establishments where you don\'t have too much&nbsp;foot traffic going in and out&nbsp;and there are security staff to keep a vigilant eye on things.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But at busy apartment buildings, where there is no security guard, a non-resident can easily \'slip in\' behind&nbsp;a legitimate&nbsp;resident. How many residents would stop and question&nbsp;you? Hell, I\'ve slipped into apartment buildings many times without a keycard -&nbsp;and in some cases, I\'ve even had&nbsp;the resident hold the door for me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The traditional method of employing a full-time security guard/guards is also still quite common. I\'ve heard several horrific stories of teachers having things stolen from their apartment and the security guard being the actual perpetrator. Who is in a better position to know about the times you keep?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t be scared off though. For the most part, security guards do their job reasonably well. That said. here\'s a little tip for you - get the security guard on your side. Make friends with him. Share a joke and a smile.&nbsp;Engage in small-talk about football. Perhaps even&nbsp;slip him twenty cigarettes now and again. It\'ll make all the difference.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7) Deposits</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve checked out of four different apartments in Bangkok and had a problem with getting back the deposit money every single time. I\'m certainly not the only one, because I\'ve overheard many foreigners complaining about the same. I\'ll put two instances down to simple misunderstandings, but on two occasions the apartment owner was clearly trying to cheat me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In none of these places was I ever a problem tenant. I paid my bills on time, rarely/never complained unless I had to, and came and went with a minimum of fuss (I tend not to mix with fellow residents). With deposits usually being two, or sometimes three months rent in advance, you\'re looking at a substantial amount of money. There\'s no way I would give up 30-40,000 baht without a fight, but clearly some residents do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One apartment owner refused to return my key money because I\'d lost the tenant\'s agreement. I was left with no option but to go to the police. The police, it must be said, were helpful to the extreme. They wrote out a piece of paper (heaven knows what it said) and told me to present it to the apartment owner. The key money was given back to me right away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Checking out of another apartment, the owner claimed (and this is a little embarrassing) that I\'d stained the bed-sheets that were provided by the apartment. The stains were just general everyday \'grubbiness\' - nothing else, but she deducted a thousand baht for a sheet I could have picked up in a local market for a fraction of that. Quite a slanging match developed in the reception area, and I\'m not proud to say that I can shout louder than most.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fortunately, with crowds gathering to witness the brouhaha, it all became too much for the apartment owner and she gave me the one thousand baht (actually she threw it at me, but you get the gist)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The saddest part was that I\'d always enjoyed an excellent relationship with this particular apartment owner, and it all got soured for a thousand measly baht. Here\'s some more advice - let the reception staff know well in advance that you are checking out. Don\'t leave it to the final day and run the risk of last-minute misunderstandings.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>8) The initial inspection and what to look for</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Khoo duu hong noy khrap? (May I see a room?)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you present yourself in the reception as a potential tenant, what typically happens is that a bored-looking member of staff appears jangling an obscenely large bunch of keys. Yes, it\'s room inspection time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ask to see several rooms on different floors - not just one. Ask if there are any corner rooms (they are often larger for the same price).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From that moment in reception, when the girl with the keys appears, my antennae are twitching. I\'m taking everything in and missing nothing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even the elevator itself can tell you a lot about the building and the management. Is it looked after and kept clean? Or are there buttons missing from the control panel&nbsp;and graffiti on the walls? If they can\'t be bothered to take care of the elevator, what hope is there for the rest of the building?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you walk down the corridor, take it all in. Look in any open doors and get a feel for the kind of residents that live there. If I see a bunch of Thais all asleep on a&nbsp;bed or piles of shoes and cooking utensils outside a door, then it\'s thanks but no thanks.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Is anyone playing the radio loudly? Can I hear screaming children? What are the corridors themselves like? Do they look clean? Is there the unmistakable whiff of disinfectant?&nbsp;Is there any&nbsp;sign of a garbage chute or do residents just put a black garbage bag outside the door and hope for the best?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even before you have inspected the vacant room, you should have formed an opinion on the quality of the building.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>First impressions are everything. When the door to the apartment swings open, if your first reaction is anything less than \"Wow! I can see myself living here\"&nbsp;- walk out there and then. Step out onto the balcony. Are you going to enjoy sitting out there? (presuming you want to) Turn on the water in the shower - how\'s the water pressure? Do the lights work?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the first things I do is check for electrical sockets. How many are there? If I\'ve got a computer, a fan, a fridge, a Hi-fi and other electrical oddments, I need a few sockets around the place.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re going to inspect a room, be a fusspot and do the job properly!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>9) Go there twice!</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You\'ve been to look at the apartment in daylight - now go back again at night. &nbsp;Neighborhoods have a habit of undergoing major change after darkness falls.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps that group of friendly-looking residents, who were snoozing and playing checkers in front of the apartment when you first came in the middle of a hot afternoon have now turned into the town drunks? And funny how you didn\'t notice the snooker hall/karoake lounge/hostess joint next door when its neon facade was unlit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Try to catch one or two of the foreign residents as they leave and enter the building - farangs love to talk and share information. \"I\'m thinking of moving in. How do you enjoy living here?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>10) If you\'re a \'long-termer\' - accumulate!</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re thinking of staying in Thailand for longer than a couple of years, start investing in things like fridges, TVs and nice basic furniture. You can always take it with you when you move.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apartments will usually rent you fridges and TVs, etc but you don\'t have to be a genius to work out that it\'s a completely false economy. Stuff like TVs and fridges are not that expensive in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>11) Stand your ground - get mad. Or maddish.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Numerous annoying little things can go wrong when living in an apartment, from the neighbor who constantly plays loud music at two in the morning to the kids who use the corridor as a playground and the weak water pressure that you reported to the management six days ago but still comes out the shower as a dribble.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I refer to them as \'little things\' but they can definitely get you down depending on your level of tolerance. However, I think it\'s&nbsp;essential that you stay on good terms with the Thai apartment staff even if sometimes you want to boil them alive.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Address the staff by name and take the time to treat them as people. Earning a reputation as a \'nice tenant\' will go a long way. When a lightbulb goes out - as they often do - a nice tenant usually gets the bulb changed faster than a tenant who specializes in rubbing staff up the wrong way at every opportunity.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>12) The Neighborhood</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Living in various Bangkok apartments really&nbsp;brought home to me the importance of neighborhood. Although most apartments I have lived in have been OK, the surrounding environment hasn\'t always been great.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s nice to have that peace and quiet in your apartment but sometimes you do get the urge to go out and connect with other people and do something other than vegetate in your digs. Weigh up what the neighborhood has to offer and more importantly,&nbsp;what it lacks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Happy apartment hunting!</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img height=\"327\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/help_and_guides/room5000.jpg\" width=\"639\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This picture&nbsp;above is typical of an apartment you\'d find in the 5-8,000 baht a month region (although don\'t expect it to come with a TV and fridge) You can see the cheap, poor-quality wardrobe and dressing table and also the large queen-sized bed. However, there\'s enough room to walk around and the apartment lets plenty of light in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A lot of teachers live in these kind of digs and are very happy. If you\'ve got imagination and a bit of money to spend, it\'s amazing what a few pictures and nic-nacs can do to brighten up a place. The lime-green curtain would certainly have to go though and uuuuurgh - don\'t talk to me about that awful vase of plastic flowers on top of the fridge.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We can\'t see the bathroom in this picture but I\'m betting it\'s something clean and modern albeit a tad small.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img height=\"318\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/help_and_guides/corridor.jpg\" width=\"639\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This picture above is your typical apartment building corridor (in the 5,000-8,000 baht a month range). Although I quite like the unusual touch of adding the wall-plaques to show the room numbers, the corridor has that cold, characterless, almost \'borstal school\' feel to it. It\'s a bit like I\'d imagine an inner city hostel for battered wives to look like.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And of course this photo has been taken when the corridor is mercifully free of accumulated shoes, dirty plates, garbage bags and general detritus. You\'ll only find apartment building corridors in this condition if the cleaning staff are truly on top of their game.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"327\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/help_and_guides/room12000.jpg\" width=\"639\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is what 12,000 - 15,000 baht a month might get you. Although there\'s still the same crappy chipboard furniture, you\'ve got the feeling of space. It feels more like a home. There\'s a nice well-polished parquet floor going on, a tasteful roller blind, and the furnishings are generally of a much higher standard.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The receptionists will be more professional, the security guards will be awake more often than they\'re asleep, the cleaning staff will wear uniforms, and the restaurant on the ground floor will look like a restaurant and serve food that\'s almost edible. It will simply be a nicer place to call home.</p>','storage/legacy/files/help_and_guides/apt_for_rent.jpg','2018-03-15 05:04:00',1,'2017-06-15 05:04:14','2018-04-21 16:05:37'),(790,36,'Can you start on Monday?','can-you-start-on-monday','What lies behind that oft-heard request?','This request often means the organisation you are joining is less than adept at hiring procedures and is pressed for time.

The &lsquo;power-dressing princess\' delegated to find new recruits may have had little aptitude for the practicalities of recruitment. She may have little idea how to get the money from accounts to pay for a newspaper ad, or what to write in it. Moreover, she is so bothered people might think her incompetent if she asks, she blunders along in painful solitude when really she should engage in teamwork with her colleagues. (The chances are she has never heard of Ajarn.com., where there are more responses and you get it done for nothing.)</p>\n<p>Can you start on Monday - or even, can you start tomorrow? - may also mean nobody in the organisation has bothered to recruit until the last moment. A new term looms and managers realise they are a teacher short. In desperation, candidates like yourself are hastily called to interview. When this happens the chances are there are only a couple of interviewees - one of whom turns up in yoga pants and holding a lollipop - after which, when chosen, you will be thrown into the classroom without any preparation. You will have to catch up fast, and use your own initiative. What page are the students on in the book? Which are my rooms? If you are lucky, someone will give you a register with a list of names and, later, a timetable. For some reason, most Thai institutions have no mentoring arrangements for the new teacher, let alone a known inventory of what new recruits must do.</p>\n<h3>Circumspect welcomes</h3>\n<p>Worse still, students may be wondering what happened to their old teacher (sick? sacked? dead?) and give you a circumspect welcome. Does this new teacher know how things are done? Apparently not. You are obviously an incompetent yourself. So you will have to brazen it out with spur-of-the-moment adaptations and the hyper-confidence of a Kate Winslet. Thankfully, the students themselves can be often as much help as the one ordinary teacher who, bereft of the acumen needed for political advancement, helpfully befriends you from her lowly status.</p>\n<p>You might also find that some of the administration staff are also less than on the ball for recruitment procedures. When you have identified the official responsible for filling out your Work Permit form (much written in Thai) you may, or may not, find her willing and able. Since many Thai office staff are short on international acculturation, you may, or may not, get to feel like a Martian every time you go to the office downstairs trying to find her. And you may, or may not, see a change in her expression after your &lsquo;thank you\', or your smile, when the job is done.</p>\n<h3>Getting a good reputation</h3>\n<p>On the days that follow, someone in the organization will be worrying whether you are fitting in (rather than providing you with the exact means to do so). Worried &lsquo;Is everything okay?\' queries you may have to put under sedation yourself while, at the same time, discreetly helping others to help you with some level-headed questioning. Do I have a mail box? Maybe you can leave a note for me there. Keeping cool in moments of confusion will earn you a reputation as a good performer. And, after a month, everyone will have gotten used to your face and, through trial and error - your trials, their errors - will have forgotten any hiccups along the way. Well done! You are now on the first steps of being kreng-jai (considerate) and if the office staff, next time, don\'t know how to handle you, you are well on the way to handling them. Mai pen rai!</p>\n<p>Can you start on Monday? Wow! You are in luck. But don\'t think that too much a celebration of your perceived aptitudes at the whiteboard. You might find you are expected to conduct administrative tasks beyond the call of didactic prowess - and be expected to let a Thai administrator take the credit for it later.■</p>\n</p>','','2009-08-01 14:29:53',1,'2009-08-01 14:29:53','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(791,36,'Are TEFL qualifications necessary?','are-tefl-qualifications-necessary','Let\'s consider what can go wrong after TEFL courses.','One argument against qualifications is that teaching experience itself is enough to guarantee a good teacher. Not so. I have recently been learning French in an institution where my intermediate classmates are often poor performers in their out-of-class interactions. And for what reason? ','<p>On joining a TEFL course a friend of mine complained, &lsquo;Having a qualification does not mean the applicant is a good teacher.\' I agreed with him. There is certainly no necessary connection between having a qualification and being a good teacher. But there are some contingent ones.\n<p>I pointed out that, at the very least, a TEFL qualification shows that the applicant has bothered to get a qualification. That, in itself, shows willing. And a certain visceral - though possibly temporary - conviction that a qualification is worthwhile getting. The time, energy and money invested by the student-teacher testifies to some kind of diligence concerning the job.</p>\n<p>Later on, I thought my argument was wishy-washy. Surely there is more to a TEFL qualification than acceding to the need to get one. What, then, distinguishes the qualified applicant from an unqualified one if the difference may sometimes prove spurious?</p>\n<h3>Open-ended activities</h3>\n<p>To support my friend\'s argument, graduates of TEFL courses quickly become aware that some activities they learnt on a course simply do not work with certain groups of learners. I quickly discovered that open-ended group activities do not work well with oppositional teenagers. Such activities more often offer an incitement to riot: as the noise in the room rises to Armageddon proportions, the teacher is lucky if she can get a word in, let alone jointly summarise the results at the end. Again, with Thai learners, one cannot wisely use activities that encourage confrontational discourse. Unfavorably, oral communication activities sustain the extrovert learner and embarrass the quiet ones. The list goes on.</p>\n<p>To my knowledge, issues such as these have not been inadequately discussed on UK teaching courses and it goes to show that simply expanding one\'s activities repertoire does not imply universal success. TEFL course organizers have not considered sufficiently the social dimension of language teaching. Nor the peculiarities of different cultures and the curious atmospheric divergences between one class and another. All this rallies against universalizing-indiscriminate activity choices can even damage the teacher\'s reputation in an organization.</p>\n<p>When an activity fails to work, it is not Christopher Candlin or H.G. Widdowson who takes the blame - it is the teacher herself who, behind her back, gets a reputation for &lsquo;not being a good teacher\'. So, defensively, one learns by induction what are the social norms in a given institution and what activities in the classroom might contravene them. This, once again, is not a frequent topic on teacher training courses. So do we really need them?</p>\n<h3>Traditional teaching</h3>\n<p>In other words, if one cannot universalize TEFL methodology, does this not mean that the qualifications themselves are invalid? Does this mean that &lsquo;traditional teaching\' (another word for just following the book and writing up the grammar) is better? In many ways &lsquo;traditional teaching\' is a safe option: it is what the administration and the learners expect. However, research has shown traditional teaching does not markedly increase learner spoken proficiency when compared to CLT. We all know those graduates of Thai university courses, with an English component, who cannot string a sentence together in speech.</p>\n<p>For the fact is CLT (Communicative Language Teaching) works well as a component on any TEFL course today. Learners who have followed CLT courses can speak. They have also learnt courage concerning the use of a second-language and have acquired both communicative and strategic competence as ancillary skills. Despite much hand-wringing during their early days of performer anxiety, they can now participate effectively in a dialogue - whilst the graduates of traditional teaching methods prefer to write or sit like shrinking violets on the outskirts of an interaction.</p>\n<p>Another argument against qualifications is that teaching experience itself is enough to guarantee a good teacher. Not so. I have recently been learning French in an institution where my intermediate classmates are often poor performers in their out-of-class interactions. And for what reason? You\'ve guessed it! The teacher does not employ CLT oral activities in the classroom. Assiduous in our note-taking, we remain puzzling &lsquo;passive\' grammar freaks. So, a teacher can become very accomplished with a limited repertoire of task activities - multiple grammar productions swarming in print - but that, in itself, does not induce full membership into the target language community.</p>\n<p>Some administrations are aware of this - they want their course graduates to talk. Achieving this is done through TEFL-trained teachers using CLT methodology. But, unlike traditional teaching, CLT is not intuitive. It requires learning. Here, then, is the justification for having TEFL trained teachers. My friend was right: having a TEFL qualification does not guarantee a good teacher. But it does mean that the job applicant knows something about up-to-date methods to increase spoken proficiency and, hopefully, will use that knowledge in the classroom.</p>\n</p>','','2009-10-01 14:34:06',1,'2009-10-01 14:34:06','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(792,21,'The ajarn.com guide to renting a house','the-ajarn.com-guide-to-renting-a-house','When you\'ve had quite enough of apartment living.','For those getting tired of apartment life and the world and its uncle knowing your business - then perhaps renting a house could be the answer. It\'s not going to be the easiest thing you\'ve ever done - but nothing is impossible.','<p><strong>Who rents a house?</strong></p>\n<p>Renting a house is primarily for the farang who\'s looking to stay in Thailand long-term (at least 3-5 years). Houses are for long-term stayers who have grown tired of apartment living and require a little more privacy - away from the prying eyes of nosey apartment neighbors. You get a feeling of \'status\' when you have the keys to your own house and it\'s&nbsp;strangely satisfying to avoid the &lsquo;stigma\' of telling people you live in a 5,000 baht a month studio. Another major reason is it gives freelance English teachers the chance to work from home and set up their own language business sideline</p>\n<p><strong>What kind of house is available and where are they?</strong></p>\n<p>The most commonly-rented type of house is what the Thai real estate market refers to as &lsquo;the townhouse\'. It typically has at least three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen area, a living room, sometimes a maid\'s room, and also a front and back garden. It\'s worth mentioning at this point that houses in Thailand are generally built for large families. It\'s extremely difficult to find a house suitable for a couple or a single person.</p>\n<p>Before you rush headlong into the world of house-renting, stop and think. Do you really need two bathrooms or three bedrooms? Whereas an apartment can be relatively easy to clean, a house can be a pain in the ass. There are floors to mop, windows to wash, mosquito screens to be hosed down, and gardens to tend. Houses are often &lsquo;open to the elements\' compared with apartments and I know from experience that if you go away on vacation for a week or two, you can almost write your name in the dust when you return. If you\'re the sort who takes no pride in your living environment then this won\'t matter, but if you\'re a house-renter,&nbsp;be prepared to spend a lot more time doing mundane household chores.</p>\n<p>Many town-houses for rent are located on &lsquo;moobarns\'. In Thai, the word moobarn translates as &lsquo;village\' but the term &lsquo;housing estate\' would be far more accurate. These moobarns or housing estates are situated all over Bangkok and most likely the best places for your house-hunting. There are different types of moobarn, from the decaying urban sprawl to the neat, well-designed property development complete with security posts and landscaped gardens. Needless to say, houses in the latter kind of moobarn will generally be far more expensive to rent.</p>\n<p><strong>How much can you rent a house for?</strong></p>\n<p>Obviously this is an article&nbsp;aimed at the teaching fraternity, so we\'ll ignore the huge 60,000 - 100,000 baht a month places touted by the realtors. I rented a house in the Rama 9 area of Bangkok between 2000 and 2005. That terrific place had three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a maid\'s room (now a storage area), and one bathroom, for which I paid 9,000 baht a month. The further you go away from the center of Bangkok, the more you\'ll get for your money. Take Rangsit or Samut Prakarn for example - there are many folks out there renting great houses for 6-10,000 baht a month.</p>\n<p>It was an ex-teaching colleague of mine who originally put me onto the idea of renting a house rather than an apartment. He had lived in the same gorgeous house in the Ramkhamhaeng area for 18 years. When he first moved in, he was paying 6,000 baht a month, which was a substantial sum of money in those days. Eighteen years later, how much do you think he paid? (and let me say that it really&nbsp;was a beautiful home) 12,000? 15,000? No, he&nbsp;still paid&nbsp;an unbelievable 6,500 baht a month. His rent had increased 500 baht in 18 years.</p>\n<p>One point we shouldn\'t overlook is that if you have a good relationship with your landlord and pay your rent on time, it\'s highly unlikely that you\'ll ever face unacceptable rent increases. Oh, one other point. Most house-owners will expect you to sign a one-year contract.</p>\n<p><strong>The Search</strong></p>\n<p>Finding your dream house to rent is undoubtedly the most difficult step, unless you personally know someone looking to rent out a property and the deal drops in your lap. For me, it was four months of searching. Every single Sunday was spent trawling around moobarn after moobarn. Whereas searching for an apartment is a simple case of walking up and down sois and looking for tall buildings, moobarns can\'t ideally be covered on foot - so&nbsp;you\'ll be one step ahead if you have a Thai friend who can assist you in the search. Preferably a friend with four wheels!</p>\n<p>To give you a little more help, there is a terrific property magazine called &lsquo;Baan La Tee Din\' - it\'s easily the most popular property mag in Thailand and it\'s choc-full of apartments and houses for rent and for sale. Unfortunately the magazine is in Thai so once more it\'s your Thai friend to the rescue. Circle a few possibilities, telephone and make appointments to view, and then hit the streets.</p>\n<p>As you drive around the moobarns, you\'ll often see adverts for houses tacked onto telegraph poles. Take a pen and paper with you and jot a few phone numbers down. Call the owners on a mobile phone and make an appointment to view while you\'re in the area.</p>\n<p>Be prepared for disappointments! House-owners are often fickle and indecisive. I found a superb house down a private soi off Phattanakarn Road for which the owner wanted 5,000 baht a month. It needed a fair amount of work doing on it (re-tiled floors, air-con installation) but I could see the potential and for a modest outlay I could turn it into a palace.</p>\n<p>After the owner and I shook hands on the deal, I went out to buy furniture, fans and a refrigerator. Three days before I was to move in, the owner called to tell me she\'d decided to rent the house to her sister. I was both&nbsp;devastated and more than a little angry.</p>\n<p>At this stage, I\'d virtually given up hope of ever finding the kind of place I was looking for. My prime&nbsp;objective was to rent&nbsp;the kind of house where I could attract middle-class private students and build up my own \'teaching from home\' business. It was not proving to be an easy task.</p>\n<p>I decided to have one more drive around Moobarn Seri on Rama 9 Road - a moobarn I\'d driven around several times before. Noticing a very fine house with a &lsquo;for rent\' sign on the front gate, I rang the bell and was greeted by the owner. She gave me the quick dime tour, and while the house was very nice and I could certainly see myself relaxing on the porch with a large gin and tonic, the asking price of 15,000 baht a month was way out of my budget.</p>\n<p>Seeing my disappointment,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Thai lady&nbsp;told me about another house she owned located just a few sois away (she actually owned six houses in the area&nbsp;I later found out)&nbsp;We piled&nbsp;into&nbsp;her car and she&nbsp;took me down to the house in question -&nbsp;and as soon as I saw it, I knew it was home. It was everything I was looking for.</p>\n<p>I ended up&nbsp;living there for five years. It started out at 9,000 baht a month and the rent never increased in all the time I was there. I taught English to most of the landlord\'s family and went out for many a meal with them. They became great friends.&nbsp;Never be ashamed to suck up to the landlord and landlady. It\'ll make your life much easier.</p>\n<p>Slightly off topic, but house-hunting gives you an incredible opportunity to peek inside the lives of middle-class Thais and their &lsquo;surface-wealth\' existence. You\'ll roll up at places with a couple of brand spanking new Mercedes Benzes on the drive-way and then once invited into the home, you\'ll see furnishings that wouldn\'t look out of place on a council rubbish tip. Being something of a \'nosey parker\' I quite enjoyed that aspect of house-hunting.</p>\n<p><strong>The Inspection</strong></p>\n<p>It\'s crucial to remain as impartial as possible during a house inspection. House-owners (often Thai families still living there) always make you very welcome. There\'s always a couple of kids to admire and perhaps even a golden retriever to fuss over. It\'s easy to be sucked in by elaborate stories of wonderful neighborhoods and statements like &lsquo;we\'ve been very happy here\' (then pray tell why are you moving?)</p>\n<p>I find it very easy to visualize how I could make an apartment look when it\'s nothing but an empty shell, but in a family home with endless rooms of wall-to-wall junk, it\'s a lot more difficult. You need to visualize how nice you could make the place look.</p>\n<p>The most important questions you need to ask are 1) How many rooms have air-conditioning? - don\'t listen to the owner who tells you that there\'s always a beautiful breeze wafting through the lounge if you open the French windows.</p>\n<p>2) Does the house have a water-pump? - If your main bathroom is on the second floor, you could find yourself showering under a veritable trickle if that water-pump downstairs&nbsp;ain\'t got the balls to deliver.</p>\n<p>3) How many amps is the electricity meter? - I found out from painful experience that my house didn\'t have enough power to run more than two &lsquo;thirsty\' items (an air-con and an electric iron for example) and I was constantly being plunged into darkness until I got the electricity board to upgrade the meter (another 15,000 baht I hadn\'t bargained for)</p>\n<p>4) Does the soi flood in the rainy season? - don\'t just take the landlord\'s word; go out and ask local shopkeepers or anyone you see walking around who might like a friendly chat with a farang.</p>\n<p>5) How is the security? - is it a relatively crime-free area or can you see all sorts of undesirables roaming around?</p>\n<p><strong>Location is everything</strong></p>\n<p>A house in the middle of nowhere, stuck down some deep leafy soi, might sound idyllic, but the novelty will soon wear off if it means you are stranded. I lived in a very isolated section of the housing estate - so isolated in fact&nbsp;that Pizza Hut refused to deliver to me because the delivery boy could never ever&nbsp;find the house. If you\'re thinking of teaching English&nbsp;from home, is it going to be the same problem&nbsp;for potential students?</p>\n<p>How easy or difficult is it going to be to get to civilization (the shopping malls and the movie theatres)? In my&nbsp;case, I had a brilliant songthaew service on my doorstep.&nbsp;I could take a three-baht open-jeep (songthaew)&nbsp;that plied the smaller sois and sub-sois every five minutes. Metered taxis were virtually non-existent though. Always think about what your public transport options are going to be if you don\'t have a car?</p>\n<p>If you are not the kind of person to make use of your kitchen and cook at home, then where are you going to eat? Are there restaurants or food-stalls within easy walking distance? I thoroughly recommend that you invest in a cooker or microwave of some description and put your culinary skills to the test, but there are times when you just can\'t be bothered and need the easy option.</p>\n<p>What about a convenience store when you suddenly run out of the essentials? Is there a ruddy-faced woman nearby who stays open late when you desperately need twenty&nbsp;cigarettes and a small box of washing powder?</p>\n<p>And then there are clothes to be washed. Is there a laundry within easy reach, or at least a kindly neighbor willing to do your smalls for a bit of extra pocket money? I guess I had it quite easy - my laundry woman was at the end of the soi, the convenience store was virtually next door and I had several restaurants all within easy&nbsp;walking distance.</p>\n<p><strong>Initial set-up costs</strong></p>\n<p>Most houses for rent come completely unfurnished. The owner might throw in an old&nbsp;plastic sofa and a coffee table (which you will hate but accept begrudgingly) but by and large you\'ll be solely&nbsp;responsible for turning a house into a home. Don\'t cut corners! Buy the best of what you can afford and it\'ll last a life-time. Wonky chipboard furniture will collapse in a sad heap after barely twelve months and it looks crap anyway.</p>\n<p>When I moved in to my rented house, I decided to turn one bedroom into a study/classroom, and keep one bedroom as the main bedroom. I&nbsp;needed to spend&nbsp;money on furniture and equipment for&nbsp;the lounge and kitchen areas, but the bathroom was already set up and&nbsp;in pretty good nick.</p>\n<p>The major expenses were TV (7,000), Fridge (7,000) Wardrobe (8,000), Bed and mattress (12,000) sofas and easy chairs (20,000) Tables and bookcases/display units (12,000) and things like plants and stand-up fans, whilst not costing the earth individually, soon add up.</p>\n<p>I think you\'re looking at probably&nbsp;80-100,000 baht&nbsp;as a basic set-up cost for an unfurnished home. It sounds a lot of money I know, but if it bothers you or you simply don\'t have it - then rent a furnished&nbsp;apartment and make life easier.</p>\n<p><strong>Know your landlord!</strong></p>\n<p>Things do go wrong with a house. A tap comes off the wall. A mosquito screen develops a hole. Rainwater leaks in from the roof. An ant\'s nest develops in one of the skirting boards - all numerous, niggly problems that can really stress you out if you let them. Make sure you know exactly who is responsible for putting these things right and more importantly, if it is your landlord, then is he/she accessible? Picture the scene - you\'re late for work on a Monday morning and suddenly realize that there\'s no water. Then it dawns on you that the landlord lives in Ayutthaya and it\'s going to take him at least three hours to get his shit together and get to you.</p>\n<p>My landlord was a tenant\'s dream. He was a retired but very fit handyman who could turn his hand to anything. Whenever I picked up the phone to report a problem (as I did on numerous occasions), he was round within ten minutes. I never worked out whether it was because he genuinely loved to help or whether it was to escape his nagging wife. I suspected both, but I was very grateful to him over time and always showed my appreciation with a carton of his favorite ciggies two or three times a year. I would hate to have a landlord whose only interest was in collecting the rent once a month but I\'m sure they\'re out there.</p>\n<p><strong>Security - will the men in ski-masks pay me a visit?</strong></p>\n<p>You hear all kinds of stories from house-renters as regards the number of times they\'ve been burgled, but touch wood I never had a problem in five years, and my house was something of a burglar\'s dream with an expanse of common land directly opposite and numerous and obvious getaway routes. Although neighbors on a moobarn rarely talk to each other, it\'s worth making a good friend of at least one neighbor - a person who can &lsquo;keep an eye\' on the place when you go away, not to mention water the garden and keep your prize begonias in the pink.</p>\n<p>One of the downsides of living on a moobarn is the amount of junk mail and leaflets&nbsp;you get wedged in between the gaps of&nbsp;your garden gate and stuffed in your letterbox. I\'m talking about flyers distributed by Pizza Hut, MK Suki, Big C and any number of other local businesses. Let these leaflets accumulate and it\'s like putting up a big sign saying please break in and steal my DVD player and wide-screen TV.</p>\n<p><strong>Privacy - can I sunbathe nude in the garden?</strong></p>\n<p>Privacy was always one of my major concerns. I had this image in my mind that once the locals knew there was a&nbsp;\'farang\' living in&nbsp;the house, I\'d attract every &lsquo;con merchant and charity collecter\' for miles around and I wouldn\'t get a minute\'s peace. I\'m happy to report that it wasn\'t the case. I was very rarely disturbed - and every time a stranger did ring the doorbell and launch into some sales pitch, a polite \"no, thank you\" would send them on their way.</p>\n<p><strong>Utility Bills</strong></p>\n<p>If there\'s one great advantage of living in a house. It\'s the fact that you are billed for water, electricity and phone directly from the utility companies. This alone can save you a fortune when compared to renting an apartment and paying their grossly inflated figures. You can&nbsp;pay your bills directly at the bank or at the&nbsp;nearest 7-11. I\'m sure there are other options as well. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>The three types of neighbor</strong></p>\n<p>Thai neighbors are nothing like the ones that we\'re used to in the west. Whereas in England or America they can often feel like part of the family, Thai neighbors keep themselves very much to themselves.</p>\n<p>You can argue that it\'s a fear of the foreigner and the inability to communicate but I\'ve noticed that&nbsp;Thai neighbors often&nbsp;don\'t even talk to each other. We\'ve already mentioned the &lsquo;good neighbor\' who waters the garden in your absence, but as for the rest, they\'ll fall into three distinct categories.</p>\n<p>1) The invisible neighbor - usually an elderly woman who lives alone, totally inconspicuous save for the occasional twitch of a net curtain</p>\n<p>2) Mr and Mrs Sawatdee Khap - the husband and wife couple who are pleasant enough but your relationship with them never advances past the basic hello and cheery wave.</p>\n<p>3) The Party Animals - the group of students who drink, shout, play music loudly and can at times be a real nuisance. If you are renting a house near a university, then be aware that some houses around you might be shared by half a dozen students. And students love to party and make noise!</p>\n<p><strong>Getting connected</strong></p>\n<p>I had no problems at all getting a phone put in but be prepared to wait a little longer if you are only available at the weekend. Everyone wants phones installed at the weekend. When I rented a house, it was the age of dial-up internet connections and mobile phones were still very much in their infancy. Now of course, everyone has a mobile phone&nbsp;and access to&nbsp;wi-fi.</p>\n<p><strong>Mobile Traders - let the world come to you!</strong></p>\n<p>If there\'s one thing I hope never disappears in the name of progress, it\'s the itinerants -&nbsp;the mobile salespeople who drive around the moobarns offering their services. Let\'s see - there was the&nbsp;ice-cream boy peddling his gaily-colored &lsquo;ice-cream bicycle\', the barbecued chicken lady, the guy who sharpened all your kitchen knifes&nbsp;and his distinctive klaxon, the two lads who sold ceramic pots and gardening equipment from the back of a pick-up, and there&nbsp;were&nbsp;the household equipment&nbsp;peddlers with&nbsp;their array of brooms and mops all arranged fastidiously on a rickety old bicycle. The list of different sellers&nbsp;was endless&nbsp;-&nbsp;and I loved them all. They were&nbsp;a connection with a by-gone era and long may they flourish.</p>\n<p><strong>Soi Dogs - get off me you little sod!</strong></p>\n<p>Talk to anyone who lives on a moobarn and they are sure to have their favorite soi-dog story - the night they were chased from the corner shop to the garden gate by a pack of savage dogs nipping at their heels and dripping saliva. It\'s not quite that bad in truth, but soi dogs can be a major problem if you don\'t have a car and&nbsp;you\'re the type of person who walks everywhere</p>\n<p>You\'re going to laugh at this but I had three different routes that I would use to get to the laundry - even though it was only at the end of the soi. Whether I took the quickest and shortest route depended totally&nbsp;on whether the black Labrador at the house half-way between my house and the laundry was wandering around outside.</p>\n<p>The second route was more reliable but it meant passing a house with two Great Danes that flung themselves against a flimsy wire mesh in their attempts to get at me. When I got to the laundry my heart would be pounding fit to burst.</p>\n<p>The third route was generally the safest but often drew quizzical glances from neighbors who wondered why I had to walk down six adjoining streets to get from A to B. I tell this story purely to hi-light the problems you might face. By the way, I am a dog-lover.</p>\n<p><strong>The Creepy Crawlies</strong></p>\n<p>Cockroaches, ants, mosquitoes, spiders the size of your fist, lizards, and then snakes if you\'re really unlucky - your house is the insect and reptile equivalent of Club Med. Just accept it. You can wave cans of chemical spray around until your arms are about to drop off, but they\'ll be back tomorrow. There are plenty of precautions you can take (poisonous chalk, mouse-traps, etc) but you won\'t eradicate them totally.</p>\n<p>Think of it as a challenge. I came home one evening, opened the front door and came face to face with what I thought was a snowstorm, but was literally millions of flying ants that had got in through a small hole in the window-pane. \"You can get through this\" I thought and had the foresight to call up one of my colleagues who had a doctorate in entomology. He advised me to turn on all the lights in the house for&nbsp;ten seconds&nbsp;and then turn them off again. Don\'t ask me why but it certainly had the desired effect. Sure enough, ten minutes later, millions of flying ants were scattered all over the floor twitching their last. It took me three months to clean the bloody place up.</p>\n<p><strong>Opportunities for a freelance teacher</strong></p>\n<p>As has already been mentioned, renting your own house presents a wonderful opportunity to teach private students at home. They can park their car right outside and enjoy an hour or two&nbsp;of private tuition. It\'s worth thinking about a house purely on this basis. Put a whiteboard on the wall and&nbsp;a nice rug on the floor with a&nbsp;table and a few&nbsp;swivel chairs. Finish the room off with&nbsp;a few nice wall pictures and a pot plant&nbsp;- and you\'re in business. If you are interested in teaching English from home and need some pointers, then <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/freelance-teaching/\">I wrote an&nbsp;article on freelance teaching that\'s well worth a look</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>So what\'s it to be - a house or apartment?</strong></p>\n<p>In my opinion,&nbsp;renting a&nbsp;house wins hands down over renting an apartment. You\'ll have numerous communication problems if your Thai is not up to scratch or you can\'t find a Thai friend to speak on your behalf, but come on, where\'s your sense of adventure? Seriously though, it\'s the privacy factor that swings it for me. It\'s that feeling you get when you close your garden gate and know that you are&nbsp;safe in your own little world. Home sweet home.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/help_and_guides/sweethome.jpg','2016-07-03 04:39:34',1,'2016-07-03 04:39:34','2016-07-03 18:06:35'),(793,21,'Will I need a degree to teach in Thailand?','will-i-need-a-degree-to-teach-in-thailand','A question that will rage forever and a day.','Ajarn.com asks just how many teachers are teaching with fake credentials. Will schools employ teachers without a degree? And does a degree even make you a better teacher? Ajarn.com also braves the sticky, sweaty Khao San Road and comes face to face with not only foreign women that have let themselves go, but the degree makers themselves. Graduate for 600 baht? Surely not. ','<p>Is it possible to teach in Thailand without a degree? To use something of a tired clich&eacute;, If I had a pound for every time someone emailed me with this old chestnut...........I wouldn\'t need to worry about a pension plan anymore. And if so many teachers are concerned about working without a degree, then exactly how many teachers are gaining employment using false documentation. I\'ve heard all sorts of figures banded around over the years, but if I was betting on it, I\'d say somewhere around 30% of the foreign teachers in Thailand are working with fake documents. One teacher in three? Yeah, that sounds about right. Surprised? Time to delve deeper methinks.\n<p>Scour any TEFL jobs board in Thailand and you\'ll see that almost every vacant teaching position carries a combined TEFL certificate plus Bachelor\'s degree requirement. Some of the more hopeful establishments might even ask for a Master\'s. Turn your attention to TEFL discussion boards, and controversy continues to rage about whether a degree makes a good teacher or not. There\'s no questioning the value of a teacher training certificate, but a degree? Hmmmm......is it absolutely necessary? There are those who say that a degree is an educational &lsquo;benchmark\'. It proves that an individual has devoted several years of life to absorbing lectures, analyzing theories and preparing themselves to be fine, upstanding, educated members of the community. Others say that university is an excuse to lounge around, smoke pot, and listen to Cure albums until the early hours. To add further fuel to the argument, just ask any teacher who\'s worked in Thailand for any length of time, and they\'ll all have their own story of the degreed teaching colleague from hell - the teaching colleague who turns up for work late, is hated by every student on the campus, has body odour you can almost chew on, a chronic drinking problem, and if that were not enough - is possibly the dullest teacher on earth.</p>\n<p>But for the new arrival from England or America, the arguments are meaningless. You\'ve either got a degree or you haven\'t.</p>\n<p>Before you analyze the situation in detail, it\'s important to bear in mind that Thailand has a typical Asian attitude towards degrees. No degree equals no hope. That\'s how I\'ve heard many educated Thais put it. Things here are not like in the West where a young person might leave secondary school, gain employment without going anywhere near a university, and still make a great success of life. In Thailand, only multinational companies tend to use evaluation methods such as competency tests and truly try to get &lsquo;inside\' the individual. For most hirers in Thailand, the degree certificate with its fancy, cursive font means everything. It matters not a jot if you have the personality of a wooden spoon.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, one body that certainly possesses this &lsquo;degree is everything\' mindset is Thailand\'s very own Ministry of Education. Applying for a teacher\'s licence at the Ministry of Education is the first step for any teacher looking to obtain a work permit and thus becoming legally employed. However, if you have no degree certificate, it\'s possible that the MOE might have you escorted off the premises or just plain ignore you. Here we go again - a minimum of a B.A and TEFL Certificate required.</p>\n<p>In 2003, a group of powerful and influential Bangkok language school-owners got together to form &lsquo;Farang Rak Thai\' (Farangs who love Thailand) It was the group\'s objective to march to the Ministry of Education (well actually they had an appointment) and try to convince the Chief Minister that the government\'s insistence on teacher\'s having a degree in order to obtain a teacher\'s license was doing nothing to ease the foreign teacher shortage, a shortage that was beginning to bite hard.</p>\n<p>Alas, the appointment was not kept and the two parties never met or re-scheduled. Thailand became embroiled in the worsening bird-flu saga and the moment passed. Teachers would still need degrees to get a teacher\'s license and that\'s pretty much how things stand today. One does hear stories of teachers who have side-stepped the degree rule on account of someone at their school who knows someone at the ministry, especially in the more rural areas - but the stories are few and far between. You can safely file them under Teaching in Thailand folklore.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;So is this the point where all those without a degree stop reading right now, abandon all hope of ever teaching in Thailand, and go back their routine nine-to-five job slavery? Far from it, in fact, where there\'s a will, perhaps there is always a way. Especially in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Failing to mention the availability of bogus degrees in Bangkok and perhaps one or two other Thai cities is to do the topic of teaching and degrees a gross injustice. Fake degrees are out there and readily available. Ajarn.com took an evening stroll through the infamous backpacker ghetto of Khao San Road and was offered a Bachelor\'s degree for as low as 600 baht. An outrageous 900 baht if we wanted the transcripts to go with them. The sellers aren\'t too difficult to locate either. Better quality documents - that\'s to say ones that don\'t look as though they\'ve been knocked up on a toddler\'s first printing set - are priced slightly higher. You choose your subject and you take the gamble. Foreign interviewers say that they can recognize a fake degree from one end of Khao San Road to the other. Apparently one or two officers in the Ministry of Education are getting good at it as well. Stories abound of teachers going for interviews only to find that the academic director on the other side of the table went to the same university. Except, he really did go to the university.</p>\n<p>There are many teachers who get past the interview stage and their fake degree goes undetected. This can lead to a fascinating array of scenarios further down the line. If the teacher turns out to be unprofessional, unreliable, and a thoroughly bad hire all round, then schools have been known to launch a witch-hunt, asking the teacher to supply them with an official letter of verification on university letter-headed paper. In some cases the school might chase after degree verification themselves. However, this isn\'t always possible. Ask ten people whether an employer is legally entitled to do their own detective work, and you\'ll get ten different answers. Some universities charge a fairly hefty fee for a verification service. Others are governed by privacy protection acts. Some colleges will only issue a letter if the student graduated within the last 25 years, and then there are some colleges that have closed down or burned to the ground.</p>\n<p>To put things into perspective though, it\'s worth remembering that there are also schools here that find out an instructor\'s degree is fake and yet continue to employ them. If a teacher is good at his job and popular with students, it sometimes makes sense for the school to turn a blind eye. Demand for teachers is currently outstripping supply in spectacular fashion. The last thing a school wants is to get involved in yet another interview and recruitment merry-go-round. There are even rumors of schools that make degrees themselves or at the very least, pat a new teacher on the head and point them in the direction of Khao San Road.</p>\n<p>Seeking a legal opinion on all this, a Thai lawyer from one of Thailand\'s oldest established law firms told Ajarn.com that working with fake documents is a very serious offence and there can be dire consequences if the teacher is caught. In the eyes of Thai law, you are in effect, cheating the government, and that\'s never going to sit well. The lawyer summarized the situation by saying it\'s far riskier to work with bogus certificates than it is to work illegally without a work permit. So work illegally is what many non-degreed teachers choose to do.</p>\n<p>Despite what stuffy academics would like us to believe, Thailand will never be some educational utopia where every TEFL classroom contains a teacher who is a genuine degree holder. Not in our lifetime anyway. Thailand needs truckloads of foreign teachers and simply not enough teachers want to work here. That\'s the bottom line. There\'s nothing complicated about it. The teaching salaries are by and large poor. There\'s little or no government help if you fall sick or are made redundant. There\'s even a school who listed &lsquo;use of a bicycle\' as its main teacher benefit. And Thailand\'s too hot.</p>\n<p>Schools will continue to list a degree and a TEFL certificate as necessary qualifications and the well-paying international schools are sure to get them. But for those schools and institutes that pay below the magical 350-400 baht an hour, employing some blonde-haired, blue-eyed teacher clutching a degree in one hand and a TEFL certificate in the other is nothing but a pipe dream.</p>\n<p>As a wise old teaching colleague once said - what some schools want and what some schools get are two entirely different things.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Feedback from this article (when it was originally posted)</p>\n<hr />\n<p>With regard to Mr Phil Williams\' contribution to the Learning Post of 2nd August, 2005, I wish to express my solid agreement with nearly everything he said regarding the issue of EFL teachers and their degrees (or lack thereof), and would like only to add a little from my own observations and experience.</p>\n<p>\n<p>There are a number of misconceptions on the part of the Thai Ministry of Education, and one is that EFL teachers with degrees are both available and capable.</p>\n<p>First, capability. Frankly speaking, to expect an English native-speaking university graduate (even one with a degree in education) to possess the ability to stand before a class of Thai students, either children or adults, and teach ESL or EFL users successfully can be likened to assigning an accountant the task of performing heart surgery. It just doesn\'t work. For years, the MOE has held onto this misconception, granting teacher licenses and then work permits to foreign degree holders while abroad to pave their way to come here and work. There have been few takers, for the reasons I will discuss in a moment; and the few takers there have been have rarely worked out, owing principally to their lack of EFL/ESL teacher training and, along with that, their nearly total ignorance of the Thai people, culture and language, resulting in conflicts with Thai school directors, other teachers and government officials.</p>\n<p>Thus, if the MOE had had its way all along, Thai people generally would be using English (with our apologies to the following) as poorly as people generally do in Taiwan, Japan or Korea, for example, where, also, the only essential hiring requirement has been a degree. (Yes, the Thai people DO generally use English better than people in those countries, though that is beginning to change, with the realization that teachers there also need to be trained in order to make language courses successful.) Luckily, in practice, the Thai people up to now have had the benefit of being taught, in large part at least, by trained English teachers without (systematic) regard to whether they were degreed or not.</p>\n<p>Second, availability. People with degrees, particularly if they are concerned about their earnings, go to teach in countries where earnings are high and work permits facilitated, such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. They do not, for the most part, come to Thailand where earnings are low. Thus, though the Thai MOE would like to have degreed English teachers, their society is not prepared to compete salary-wise with other countries. Furthermore, with regard to degreed persons who enter the country prior to deciding to teach here, these are often discouraged by the difficulties of acquiring work permits and other documents to legalize them.</p>\n<p>So who does teach in Thailand? Almost nobody plans to! With or without degrees, people come to the gentle nation of Thailand for a holiday, maybe once, or maybe three or four times, fall in love with the Thais and the Thai nation and resolve to dispense with whatever life plans they might have made up to that point and set forth on an English teaching career here.</p>\n<p>The advantages of using such teachers are several. First, they love, respect and largely understand the Thai people and their culture and thus know what English learning problems must be dealt with on a priority basis. Second, they recognize the need for attending an appropriate teacher training course wherein they learn how both to make an effective lesson plan, and, at the same time, make learning fun for their students. What a contrast to the attitudes of degreed persons assigned to teach without having earned qualifications!</p>\n<p>This leads to the question, how valuable is a degree? Very much so, in terms of self-discipline and the satisfaction of having taken on a lengthy (generally 4-year) project and seen it through to a successful conclusion. It does not, however, qualify one to teach English in Thailand. This leads, nonetheless, to the follow-up question, how can a short course in teaching EFL or ESL aid a person with no degree to teach English successfully here? The answer is a simple one. Though there is an enormous amount of knowledge, as well as observed teaching practice, that must be learned within such a course, this can be fully adequate for persons who successfully complete the program. This is because, though it takes years and years to train to be an accountant, doctor, engineer or lawyer, it only takes a short time along with (you may be sure) a lot of hard, dedicated effort, to learn to teach English effectively, especially in a course taught in Thailand whose trainers are knowledgeable of all, or nearly all, Thai learning needs.</p>\n<p>Thus it is that educators experienced in Thailand are themselves happy to employ trained, effective teachers, loved by their students, without regard to where a \"degree\" supposedly earned by such teachers actually came from! This is the reality of the situation, bared and exposed down to the bone. A further area of exposure, and one which differs from the opinion of Mr Williams, is that fully 70% of the foreign English teachers in Thailand lack real degrees, though the overwhelming majority are qualified through a valid teacher training program.</p>\n<p>If the MOE wishes to continue cutting off its nose to spite its face, as it were, these teachers could supposedly be identified and deported, with the result, in my opinion, that the entire educational system in Thailand could collapse, or at least suffer enormously. Is this what anyone would like to see happen? I, for one, sincerely hope not! However, now that the MOE is requiring transcripts, as well as degrees, before issuing teacher licences, one wonders just how far certain unthinking bureaucrats might really be willing to take this issue?</p>\n<p>Finally, discussing the matter of teachers who are teaching without real degrees may not be as constructive as it might be, taken out of the context of the manner in which teacher licences and work permits are issued. Nearly all English (external) training done in Thai companies and schools is provided by language school teachers. However, teacher licences are issued to language schools solely for teaching in the employing school only. Thus, there is no way that companies and children\'s schools can legally use these teachers (nor the language schools legally send them) because there is either no work permit at all for the teachers, or it is issued for teaching elsewhere. How, then, can companies and children\'s schools acquire properly trained part-time teachers if their teachers can\'t get (actual authorizing) work permits. If this is not bad enough, the number of teachers a language school can hire and get teacher licences and work permits for is limited to the physical number of classrooms! Thus, if a school needs to provide training in 30 companies and 18 children\'s schools, it cannot acquire a work permit for most of these teachers at all, even one not actually authorizing, with respect to the teaching location.</p>\n<p>What should be done? Background checks should be required for all teachers, to the extent that this is possible. Teacher licences and work permits should be issued to teachers teaching both full- and part-time. These should be issued to allow them to teach for, rather than in, their employing schools. These should also be issued on the basis of need, rather than the number of classrooms available in the employing school. Teachers could be required to study online, part-time, in pursuit of a degree. Last, and most importantly of all, persons seeking a teacher licence should be given a book from which to make a lesson plan, and this lesson should be performed with a class of MOE staff who need English training, along with an MOE decision-maker prized away from his or her regular job long enough to observe a 30-minute lesson to determine if this person is a good teacher or not.</p>\n<p>One can only hope that these small changes would not be too much to ask, to ensure proper and professional English language training for all Thai people.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>a caring educator</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>Great article - I read it when you first posted it on the website. But I can\'t help wondering about the rationale behind publishing it in the \'learning post\' section of the newspaper. My understanding is that this section of the paper is for English learners, people who\'s first language is not English. Publishing this kind article here does nothing but cast aspersion on the entire ESL/EFL industry in Thailand; indeed, by your estimates, students can figure that the teacher in front of them this evening has a 1 in 3 chance of being a fake.</p>\n<p>I\'m concerned about the public backlash against teachers that could be created by publishing this kind of article in the post; it is highly unlikely that it will produce the condtions you mention in your article - better pay and conditions which would in turn attract better quality teachers. Instead, I find it highly more likely that the very sort of \'witch hunt\' you speak of could take place on a national level, further damaging the already-suspect reputation of the falang, and making it more difficult for everyone - real quals or no - to work through the proper procedures to teach legally here.</p>\n<p>At the very least, publishing it on the learners\' page seems to be placing it where it will do maximum damage to the profession in the eyes of the paying student. As I said, I enjoyed the article on the website. But I\'m wondering if the lure of seeing your name in a by-line may have clouded your judgement - what \'good\' could it possibly do?</p>\n<p>Hope it doesn\'t seem like I\'m mud-slinging; I\'d be interested to hear what your intentions were.</p>\n<p>(And BTW, I\'ve got a BA, a CELTA, and work currently in China - so maybe it\'s none of my business!)</p>\n</p>\n<p>Cheers,<br /><strong>Don Henson</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I believe if you have the natural ability to teach, where you have a teaching cert or not, one should be able to teach ... however, though anyone with the ability to teach, should be allowed to teach, those without degrees should only teach at the level they have reached education wise. E.g. if a foreigner does not have a degree, then teaching english to high school or primary students level (if they finished high school) should be fine - provided they know how to spell and structure proper English sentences, and use the tenses properly of course. The demand by the Thai education system for teachers to be degree holders is justifiable I think, as teaching is transferring the knowledge you have earned/gained over years of studies and experience ... what is there to transfer if one has not reached a higher level of knowledge to ensure they have a wider perspective and an open mind. <br />I can understand why the locals demand degree holders as teachers - so their kids are taught by teachers who have surely proven to have learnt something new and innovative. Learning English is one thing, but since when did anyone just learn ABC without wanting to know the what, where, why, how, when, ... <br />? So, for a non degree holder, how well would they answer the questions? <br />There are different degrees of intelligence in answers, right?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>I read with interest recently your article in the Bangkok Post regarding teachers with fake degrees in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I myself have taught in Bangkok for a total of four years. I have been with various different language schools within that space of time, generally as an external teacher to a number of private and government schools throughout the city.</p>\n<p>I have a Thai wife and a two year old daughter. We also have a another baby daughter on the way, both of which are, and will be, Thai citizens. My wife also has three sons from a previous relationship who are full-blooded Thais and who I support financially, send to school, and who live with us.</p>\n<p>I would like to say that I am a good teacher, in the fact that my students love me, and learn from me. I love my job and have never been absent or had a sick day since I have been in this country. I also look forward to going to work every morning, something that was never apparant with previous occupations that I have had.</p>\n<p>I do not have a degree, and in order to obtain previous teaching licences and work permits, have had to use a fake one which I bought in Khao San Road. It has always helped me to work \'legally\' in Thailand, and so I have always thought that it was a good investment.</p>\n<p>However, I have recently changed employers, and so have had to go through the process of obtaining a new teaching license. But I have now found out that the MOE is getting stricter on fake documents, and indeed I am now unable to get a license to teach, through them as they have informed me that they believe it to be a fake.</p>\n<p>So yes, many people might say that this is justice, and that an \'unqualified\' person such as myself should not be teaching in this country. However, I am in the mind that teachers with degrees do not necessarily make good teachers, and there are a lot more \'qualified\' ones out there who are a lot worse and inexperienced than myself.</p>\n<p>It now means also that I am going to have to leave the country soon, as my visa will shortly expire. This means that I will have to return to my home country and be apart from my family for a long time. It also means that they will be a lot worse of than before.</p>\n<p>The current political party that is in power is \'Thai Rak Tai\', if I\'m not mistaken, which means \'Thai love Thai\'. Well if they were aware of my situation and many other peoples\', who I am sure have experienced the same problems as me, I wonder if they would amend the \'degree to teach\' law, which might just help to put food in some of their citizens\' mouths.</p>\n<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail. If you would like to publish it on ajarn.com or elsewhere, please feel free. Otherwise, I look forward to reading your future posts and logging into your site.</p>\n<p>Thank you and regards,</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Mr. Robert</strong>\n<p>\n<p>I read with great interest your article in today\'s Learning Post. You have stated so clearly and well the dilemma that me and many others farangs are faced with in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I have my resume on ajarn.com and am a regular reader of the jobs posted as well as the other links, particularly \"School Watch\". I realise that site is not affiliated with ajarn.com but it still gives one food for thought.</p>\n<p>However, I digress. Today\'s article as I said, sums up totally where I am at the moment. I have a Ph D in Psychology from Macquarie University in Sydney, have worked in Thailand for over 2 years and am presently employed at a rather large, prestigious Government University, teaching English conversation to students who are not the least interested as my courses give them no credit points.</p>\n<p>I have applied for a number of teaching positions at International Schools but the reply is always the same, you have no teaching certificate!! I enjoy teaching Secondary students when I have done some casual work and would like to join one of these schools and teach other subjects besides English. I want to help the young Thais with their education but it all comes back to a piece of paper. I obviously backed the wrong horse when I wasted 4 years of my live gaining my Ph D.</p>\n<p>As time goes by, I am afraid to admit that the Khao San Road Academy becomes a more attractive option. I am an honest person and so have been putting off this course of action as long as I can. However, as I get more desperate to stay in Thailand my thoughts are focused on how I can \'massage\' my CV to accomodate a teaching qualification from that Academy!.</p>\n<p>The silly part about it all is that as a Ph D I can teach in Universities but not in International Schools.</p>\n<p>Sorry to go on Philip. you are doing a great job with ajarn.com but if you have any advice for me I would appreciate it.</p>\n<p>Best wishes</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Paul</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>To provide some perspective, here\'s a web posting I made in response to your article in the BKK Post. Why not publish this on your website fore some balance</p>\n<p>Recently the Bangkok Post ran an article by the current webmaster of ajarn.com, Philip Williams. While the quality of articles published in the Bangkok Post varies quite a lot, this one deserves special mention for daftness beyond the usual measure (whether on the part of the editor in charge, or Philip Williams).</p>\n<p>In this article, Mr. Williams supposedly discusses the prevalence of fake degrees in Thailand, while actually trying to build a case that degrees are a) not needed to be a good teacher, b) many degree holders are either dull, uncouth, alcoholics, and /or loathsome*, and c) that Thailand would be better off not requiring degrees for English teachers.</p>\n<p>Philip Williams, or Bangkok Phil as he calls himself, is part of an old-boys network in Thailand, whose main claim to fame is having been here for a number of years, and being married to a Thai. Higher education or advanced qualifications, on the other hand, are not part of the old boys agenda. Did anyone perhaps wonder why Bangkok Phil didn\'t mention his own qualifications (or rather lack thereof) in the article? How about some words about his educational background?</p>\n<p>One of the things a good education will hopefully give you is some tools to evaluate the world around you critically. Among these tools, is that we should verify sources of information. Is the source credible, knowledgeable, and can the information be verified independently? Think about someone like Bangkok Phil. Does being a webmaster make him an expert on educational issues? Does teaching English in Thailand qualify him to make judgments on educational policy? <br />How about you just ask yourself this: would you rather have Bangkok Phil and his buddies teaching your kids, or a qualified, well-educated teacher, who is a professional in his or her field?</p>\n</p>\n<p>If you want education in Thailand to improve, you will have to raise the standards of teachers and teaching, not lower them to the level of barstool experts, no matter how long they\'ve been teaching here.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>I think that the recent call for lowering the requirements to teach in Thailand will not resolve the current situation.</p>\n<p>The first question to ask yourself is: Why do people teach in Thailand? Well, do people fall in love with the country because of the culture? Or is it because the farang feels like they are important in Thailand and can get what they want for next to nothing?</p>\n<p>The second question to ask yourself is: What is the point of a degree? A degree is not necessarily a measure of intelligence and knowledge, but a level of the skills which can be tranferred to other professions. That is why many companies in the UK do not specify a specific degree subject when recruiting.<br />Therefore, in Thailand, like in all other countries where EFL is taught, a degree is the minimum requirement.</p>\n<p>The third question to ask yourself is: Does a degree make a good teacher? Teaching is a profession, and just like training to become an accountant, nurse or doctor, it takes time. The degree does not guarantee that one can teach but it is the minimum level of academic attainment necessary. Following the degree, specific training for that profession is necessary. <br />If someone has a degree + CELTA then they have some idea about being a teacher, but a profession teaching qualification would be the PGCE (a one year full time<br />course) which enables you to work in International schools. To teach EFL in Hong Kong and Singapore, the respective MOEs ask for the equivalent of a PGCE. <br />Don\'t forget, however, that a PGCE does not make an effective EFL teaching if the PGCE is not language teaching or English. An R.E. teaching would only be effective at classroom management and general techniques, not language acquisition methodology.</p>\n<p>Are people who come to teach in Thailand teachers in their own country? The answer is probably no. They are probably joiners, office workers, IT consultants etc. <br />Even if they have a degree, they need training in teaching. I am quite sure they would still be joiners, office workers, IT consultants in Thailand if they could be!</p>\n<p>Are there any exceptions? I would say there is an exception to the degree rule. Those who have considerable experience in another profession (and I mean a profession) who undertake a teaching qualification should be able to get a teacher\'s license. What\'s wrong with changing career and offering their general life experiences to others? And don\'t forget that degrees have not always been perceived as the minimum academic achievement.</p>\n<p>I will give you a brief example, I have a friend who wants to move to Malaysia. He is a Financial Banker working for JP Morgan in London on big money of course, and with many years experience. However, as he doesn\'t have a degree, he cannot move to Malaysia.<br />Is that fair?</p>\n<p>So, why isn\'t the Government cracking down on the source of the fake degrees (i.e. going to Khao San Road and closing them down)? Genuine teachers have to suffer the extra administrative burden as a result. <br />How many UK teachers have transcipts? I graduated in<br />2003 so I could probably get hold of them but what if you graduated in 1990? I am sure prospective teachers will simply go elsewhere (unless they are from the US where transcripts are the norm).</p>\n<p>Finally, I have a BA + PGCE, don\'t have the experience for an international school, so am stuck in the middle. Luckily, I have no commitments here, but I will have to leave the country in a few months to enter greener pastures, namely Hong Kong or Singapore.<br />I have lots of student debts to pay off you know!</p>\n<p>Solutions? keep the degree standard, consider experience with CELTA. crack down on the Uni of Khao San Rd, do not make transcripts a necessity and drive up teacher\'s pay (I wish!).</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br />In journalism, we call this kind of feature \"The Degree Dilemma Continues\", a scoop; it has all the ingredients of a hard earned, well-researched story that delves into the polemics and paradigms of ESL scenarios specifically set Thailand. In short, Phil\'s column has tapped into a raw nerve.</p>\n<p>For the \'stuffy academics\' out there, the angle Phil takes smacks of heresy. As Don Henson, a qualified teacher says he fears that there could be \" a public backlash against teachers that could be created by publishing this kind of article in the post...\"</p>\n<p>Far from it Don, and a nebulous statement for someone who is a parachute observer who is teaching in China, where the EFL climate does not apply to the homegrown aspects that Phil writes about specifically, that are uniquely grounded in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I think that Phil is not playing devil\'s advocate- he\'s informing new arrivals on the Teaching trail the pros and cons of taking the \'fake road\'. What he\'s saying is that in the \'Taksin\' era, times have changed, and consequences of deportation are more evident for flirting with Thai laws.</p>\n<p>The rules of engagement have shifted from the roaring nineties when I use to don a tie and carry a black Samson bag full of photo copied English books, while racing against the traffic on the way to a lesson, along the coagulated traffic of Sukkumvit. And that\'s why I\'m raving about this article, for filling in the void of wishy washy reporting on EFL in Thailand, and in short, cutting to the chase. Which makes it all the more commendable for the Bangkok Post for putting their neck out, and actually running this expose.</p>\n<p>Confession: I\'ve actually taught on a fake degree. I loaned it off a buddy who graduated at Concordia University in Canada, and doctored the name in photo shop. . Back in the early nineties, doctoring of degrees wasn\'t as sophisticated as the high tech copies offered today at Koa San. I\'ve moved with the times, however, and recently updated my qualifications with transcripts of my design, for as little as 1000 Baht! Asian Studies is my field of expertise!</p>\n<p>I taught at a University down the road from Sukkunvit 26. There were two young Canadian graduates who attended the same University. Over the one semester they became suspicious of my teaching credentials- and they had good reason, they both attended Concordia. They were newbies to Thailand, and didn\'t have a clue about Thai culture, yet they were the most obnoxious example of the \'Degreed Class.\' And every second day, administration hounded me for requisite transcript. But the faculty held onto me for another semester. I was a regular with the other senior teachers at a hole-in-the-wall bar along the klong. Martin, the head teacher, has since had a heart attack, and the other senior qualified teachers are now full blown alkies drinking lao koa.</p>\n<p><br />But there was one part-timer teaching in the Faculty of English Department, who came clean and said he didn\'t have any qualifications. The students loved him, and so did administration. This \'bar stool\' teacher would come into work disheveled and stinking of a night on booze down the road at Soi Cowboy. But he couldn\'t do wrong, the student\'s loved him and his approach to teaching was very non-academic and effective.</p>\n<p>\"How about you just ask yourself this: would you rather have Bangkok Phil and his buddies teaching your kids, or a qualified, well-educated teacher, who is a professional in his or her field?\"</p>\n<p>To this insightful question posted on Ajarn.com, in response to Phil\'s article, yawn... Which reminds me of Scottish Steve, a young, impressionable lad who spoke with a thick working class Glasgow accent, compounded by nervous bighting of his nails that were bitten raw to the fingertips. He had no formal education to speak of, yet in my eyes and many of the private schools in Bangkok, he was the most inspired and culturally sensitive teacher (he taught himself to speak, read and write Thai fluently from the Fundamentals of Thai, 1946 Edition) to have taught in the Kingdom. He\'d party and whore all night, yet this teacher who claimed to his employers that he was educated at Oxford, would never miss a morning class. If I were a Thai, I\'d definitely choose Phil\'s buddies to teach me. What they might lack in degrees, they\'d definitely make up for by having a \'life\' and a \'personality\'.</p>\n<p>Great article Phil, and thanks for saying it how it is, and not how it should be, for the great hordes of itinerant teachers like myself.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Regards Tom</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>Dear Philip</p>\n<p>I have become an avid reader of your website (I intend joining the army of native English speakers teaching in Thailand at some stage in the future), and the debate over the degree issue is really interesting. Here are some random thoughts from this expat Brit in South Africa.</p>\n<p>In my humble opinion, a good quality TEFL qualification is not just a nice to have, but it should be an absolute prerequisite. In the main our only experiences of being a second language learner are in the schooling system. Since most people coming over to Thailand appear to be in their thirties and forties, the difference between their ages and when they left school is often twenty years or more. This doesn\'t allow them to step easily into the students\' shoes so to speak.</p>\n<p>Regarding the degree, I guess it shows evidence of competence. If you need to have a degree to teach in the UK or South Africa, then why should Thailand be an exception? I have to agree with the Thai MoE on that little prerequisite.</p>\n<p>My CV is posted on the ajarn.com website and I have already had a couple of approches from schools, but I cannot even consider putting in a formal application without a TEFL qualification plus teacher training. Ultimately Thai pupils, like any pupil around the world, need professionals to guide them in their learning. In my opinion, being a native speaker is not enough on its own.</p>\n<p>Those are my random thoughts</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Nigel</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>First, I agree that those with fake degrees should be exposed when and where possible. I know of at least one female who has only a diploma from an fine art college in Ireland and had been teaching in Si Racha since February.</p>\n<p>Second, the Ministry should contact universities in the west to verify that the degree in genuine, but do not let the applicants know about this move. Universities are only too willing to provide this type of information as it helps to safeguard their own reputations. I know this as I did it at a couple of universities in Thailand when people applied for a job.. Some came back, as suspected, as being phony (no record of said person).</p>\n<p>Third, and this is a biggie, the Ministry should begin to take control of the situation. How? Very simple. When I go to a school to teach, I always ask for an outline of my courses, and for the courses of all years. Invariably, nothing exists. As a result of there being so many \"private\" schools, combined with the government institutes, all schools set there own curriculum. These are done without thought of what the students should have been taught in previous years, and without consideration for future studies. Ergo, (don\'t you just love that word) there are very few locations with a continuum of studies. Further more, when students change schools or start university, much of their previous studies are repeated as the instructors are not competent, do not have any experience in planning courses, and never talk with the staff or students regarding what took place prior to the students starting a new school or university.</p>\n</p>\n<p>At one location, I failed 15 university students. They complained to their adviser. The adviser attended a meeting and condemned my action without first telling the students to talk with me, and without meeting with me herself. Upon checking the student\'s workbooks, those, and others, had not even written one word which told me that they did not practice. None of that group talked with me outside of class, but those that did excelled. When I informed the director and the advisor of the truth of the matter, they would not believe me until i showed the evidence.<br />Regards, <strong>David</strong></p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<hr />','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/ksrdegree.jpg','2007-10-29 08:29:07',1,'2007-10-29 08:29:07','2009-10-29 00:12:08'),(794,21,'Oldies........but goldies?','oldies........but-goldies','Are those teachers over 45 suddenly too long in the tooth?','With one or two positions on the jobs board asking for teachers no older than 45, ajarn.com asks if  this is the start of a terrifying trend and whether our middle-aged days are numbered?

My last assignment was through Ramkhamhaeng University\'s Nonthaburi Project but Filipinos were preferred to Native Speakers. To be honest I have struggled to get work ever since I have been in Thailand and I know age is the main problem. I have a job starting in May but the salary isn\'t great considering the responsibilities. This month I must have contacted at least 10 schools through your website without any response and it doesn\'t come cheap answering ads.<br />A lot of schools are happy with inexperienced backpackers who can produce a fake degree certificate as long as they are not over 45. I was able to get a work permit with a business diploma.( I am aware that it is common for schools to accept fake certificates). If you know of schools accepting old fogies like myself please let me know.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I fell out of a tree 61 years ago and started teaching Mathematics in a secondary school MEP program in Nakhon Sawan two years ago. I started in the middle of the first semester in the first year of the program. Prior to my coming there were zero Math teachers. After developing 2/3 of the Math material to follow the Thai textbooks I have just been told that my contract will not be renewed next year. I\'m too old and they want somebody under 50. When the start of the next year rolls around I bet that they don\'t have a teacher and no curriculum to teach. No one in the Thai Math Department speaks or reads any English. Now that they are doing M1 -M6 the problems that they had the first year will be multiplied by 3. Oh well I don\'t think that they will ever learn!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I read with interest your comment about schools/institutions requesting teaching staff in the 20 to 45 age bracket. In the past I have contacted such schools asking why they have an \'ageist\' policy. Surprisingly enough most did respond by saying that younger people were more reliable.</p>\n<p>I shall continue to do so in the future and if you are interested I can forward any responses to you. I think this attitude is disgraceful and schools/institutions that have such a policy should be \'outed\'.</p>\n<p>I am finding the age limit in employment advertising to be quite common and even if it isn\'t in the ad, it later rears its ugly head when an employer sends a request for documents including one that \"proves an age of less than 50 years\" as the one I recently received from a Christian school recruiter with schools all over Thailand.</p>\n<p>I am considering leaving Thailand for just this reason. I am 58. My mother is a retired teacher in the US and still substitute teaches as many days as is allowed by law; she is 81. To be told, at 58, that I am too old to teach English in Thailand is unspeakably insulting to me. This is not PE or football coaching that I am applying for!</p>\n<p>I speculate that this trend is due to Thailand\'s educational system being more of a social institution, where students and school administrators require teachers to be entertainers rather than educators.</p>\n<p>I would really like to know what the schools claim to be their rationale for discriminating against teachers who, in the West, would be considered to be in their prime teaching years.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>You are absolutely right, what is wrong with those schools that do not want teachers at a certain age. To me this is pure discrimination, the same counts for those who only want females. Teachers are not worn out at 45, not at all. Actually I know of a guy who is around 80, still teaching and is liked by everybody. He is probably one of the best and most experienced teachers around, so to all schools that requires young and handsome teachers: \"you are creating problems to yourself and the more experienced teachers\".</p>\n<p>An other thing that I would like to comment on is salaries. Dear fellow teachers, stop applying for the low paid jobs if you have a real TEFL certificate, please!!! Schools are getting used to paying much to little for their English teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Jake</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I would like to comment on the ageism trend you\'ve noticed in Thailand.I see it in another form with \' only EU nationals\' : My question is \"If Europe is such a base of democracy, why the hell do they restrict employment in a way which is so clearly undemocratic? They limit people\'s rights purely on the basis of country of origin, which is akin to racism, but they are quite happy to invade Iraq because \' it needs democracy\'. Ageism is just as bad, and does not take into account that older teachers are more experienced and more likely to stay in one job than younger globetrotters. Be happy that you have the website for income. I\'m 50 next birthday, and it\'s much worse for me.</p>\n<p>If you could do more on your website, all of us \'oldies\' would appreciate it. Whatever happened to the Thai/eastern/world tradition of respecting and honoring your elders?</p>\n<p><strong>Dave M</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'m a vigorous 59 year old. I think I have skills to offer in teaching English. You\'re right, they are shooting themselves in the foot. But I don\'t mind, that just makes those employers\' ignorance audible, I just don\'t bother applying to those places.</p>\n<p><strong>Dale</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I have to say that I was a bit shocked and pleased to see your comments on Ajarn.com. I was first shocked that someone would actually bring up this subject and on such a visible arena, Ajarn.com. When I first came to Thailand, I began my job search by looking through the news papers. I was amazed at the number of job postings that had age limitations.</p>\n<p>I was pleased because I think you mention two really good points. First, I also believe schools use the copy-cat methodology for job posting. I think they do this because often the person writing the job posting probably doesn\'t know a lot of English in the first place and instead of writing a job posting that fits their requirements they simply takes the easy road of copying someone else\'s job posting. Secondly, I agree that these schools may be shooting themselves in the foot. I also think that these schools are missing the point of \"work experience and developed skills\" that are found in experience teachers. I worked at one school were a young 20 something year old guy couldn\'t handle the noise the kids were making in the classroom. He would often blow his top and start yelling at the kids which didn\'t leave a good impression on the Thai staff at the school or the students he was teaching. These blow ups really highlighted his lack of experience in handling a classroom environment.</p>\n<p>With this said, I have to say that although I have seen these adds in the papers and web posting, I haven\'t found that they have limited my obtaining teaching jobs. I first came to Thailand when I was 42 year old and found my first teaching job fairly easy. After teaching for able a year, I then found a job in my professional field, Information Technology, pretty easy too. I still continued to teach, but only Corporate English classes, evening and weekends. I\'ve been do this for the last 2 plus years and although I still see the age limitations in some job posting, I\'ve still be able to keep my schedule pretty full over the past two years with teaching corporate English classes.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, I believe that a positive attitude has been the key to me landing my teaching jobs. I know that age, skin tone (how light or dark you are) and country origin are factors here in Thailand and probably in other parts of the world were they need English teacher, but I still think that unless you are well over 60 and really have no teaching experience or ability, you will still be able to find a job teaching English somewhere in the world. A friend of mine just returned from India a few weeks ago from a year long contract. He\'s over 60, but they still asked him to come back for a second year.</p>\n<p>Again Philip, thanks for bring up this important point in the first place. I certainly hope that schools will start to become more focused on the teacher\'s qualifications, teaching ability and professional references rather than his age, color or country of origin. After all the end result should be the students learning English, not taking a picture along side some young, US or England born student traveling through Asia who thinks teaching English in a foreign country is a cool way to make money while traveling. Please don\'t get me wrong Philip, I know a lot of good, qualified, and capable young English teachers. So, I &lsquo;m not saying that age determines whether you are a good teacher or not, I\'m just using this as an example to making a point.</p>\n<p><strong>Nick</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I read your note on the internet and understand how you feel about ageism. Quite frankly, when I see a position that I know that I am suited for, I apply, regardless the age thing. Don\'t make the sale unless I ask. I left Canada because of the prejudice of age, sex, divorce, blah, blah, blah.</p>\n<p>The school that I am at, has a Thai Head of English Department who is 58. My colleague is 48. He said that he is having a difficult time to find interested native speakers of any age. Having worked with the backpackers from North America, it seems that the ones who are truly interested in the education of these youngsters are us, the baby-boomers.</p>\n<p>I just keep on keepin\' on, trying to keep myself in demand with skills, dedication and positive focus on the future (as well as keeping my fingers crossed). So far, so good. If all else fails, I can go back to South Korea. Anyway, those are my 2 baht\'s worth.</p>\n<p><strong>Nina</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>As a newbie in Thailand, I totally agree with you. I am 57 years old and have been employed by two universities in 8 months. Some of the worst teachers I\'ve encountered here are either younger or the \"backpackers\". They may be young, but they are not TEACHERS. Just because someone can read and write English does not make him/her a teacher.<br />I have taught for 25 years and still love it. It keeps me young.<br />Mark Twain said it best. \"Youth is wasted on the young.\"</p>\n<p><strong>Joe</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'m Peter - I am an Australian. In December 2004 after 38 years teaching i \'retired\' from the Victorian Education Department. I then took an 88 day trip to Asia - got back to my hamlet, tendered to my garden and said after 6 days - hell! is this is what i am going to do for the rest of my life. The upshot was I applied through ajarn.com for jobs. got 3 in Bkk, 1 in Khorat and took the one at Kalasin. Why Kalasin? - the Isaan people.</p>\n<p>I am 60 years of age (turned 60 in 2005) - staff and parents were shocked with the amount of energy I have; exceptionally pleased with my teaching practice and willingness to be involved in Thai culture, community spirit etc. Parents, staff and students have expressed their disappointment at my decision to leave Kalasin They are very keen for me to stay but I have bought a share of a language school in another part of Isaan. The twenty five year old guy who came with me got bored with the night life etc and walked out on December 2. This happened despite the school bending over backwards to meet at times what were unrealistic demands.</p>\n<p>Nearby schools would say that they have changed their focus from recruiting young teachers to that of recruiting more mature age teachers because the latter are far more reliable, focused, don\'t have to go to disco\'s every night and have the interests of the student (and let\'s face it - that is what it is all about) as their priority. If I wanted to continue full time work in the classroom I would stay here - no doubt about that. I have gone to part time - my choice.</p>\n<p>Phil I have been tempted to apply for one of these - max 45 years schools - and use referees from this school just to see what happens. To me age is no barrier - and if you want the job done get someone who is reliable and focused. Thanks for the opportunity to air my comments. As an aside - it was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I learnt more about Thailand and its people in 11+ months than in many previous trips here.</p>\n<p><strong>Peter</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I have never cared for the age and sex restrictions nor the picture request. However, as a previous executive who did hiring in the USA, I can see how this could cut down on the deluge of unwanted resumes and ghastly number of inappropriate interviews, but usually this filter is much too rigid and broadly applied. Much of the criteria and restrictions seem arbitrary to me.</p>\n<p>I know a very good teacher with 15 years experience. He has trouble getting work at the doddering and grizzled age of 47. I find this absurd. In Thailand youth means \"active\" (as Thais inform me.) Hence, sales executives and teachers cannot be slow old lumps of low energy. These same sage hiring experts also desire teachers to be handsome, so youth wins again. I believe the optimum age is 30 -40 years. This candidate is perceived as young enough to still have his looks while old enough to be respected.</p>\n<p>Now that my ranting tirade is over, let\'s have a look at me, so that we can see this is not the result of bitterness. I am male which is a plus. I am 37 which is a plus. I am viewed as being very handsome and make for a nice photo. Yet, I think this type of selection methodology is ludicrous.</p>\n<p><strong>Dave Cook</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'ve written to you on this subject before . . . a couple of years ago, it seems. I have a Ph.D., three master\'s degrees, CELTA, University and teaching experience of years (my own and other schools). I also have fifteen years in the fund-raising business, having helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars for NGO\'s. You\'d think I would be seen as a valuable commodity by most any employer.</p>\n<p>I have applied for many university jobs in Thailand, yet rarely hear from anyone. Strange. I wonder why? My age, of course. I don\'t tell them my age but they presume it from all my experience and background. I look 45 but am 63. I have had half a dozen interviews and job offers from Silapakorn, Chula, Bangkok U, and others. They hire me instantly, then when we proceed with the paperwork, the job \"disappears.\" Silapakorn was kind enough to tell me why . . they are not allowed to hire anyone over 60, they say. I don\'t fashion working for a private school. So, shall I just roll over and die now?</p>\n<p><strong>Stan</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I should not spend my time commenting on this matter because aside from this means less sleep for me tonight, I am not yet belongs to those teachers that are rejected because I\'m still 40 but soon to be 41. Don\'t ask me to invite you on my birthday because I don\'t celebrate birthdays. That is contrary to by belief (just kidding but its true).</p>\n<p>Can I just call you Philip? You know Philip, the school idea perhaps is older teachers have less energy and enthusiasm in teaching while the younger ones are the opposites.<br />They are right but what important in teaching is the ability, sincerity and dedication. If I lack something please fill it.</p>\n<p>Teaching is not a job that needs strength so that it needs younger ones to perform it. It is the work of mind. As long as you can still dance, sing a song (but my songs are Elton John\'s and David Pomeranz\'s) has a strong voice, not sitting in a class while teaching, you can deliver your lesson well, etc. that\'s it!</p>\n<p>To these schools who advertised this, hope that you will not get any older and jobless. Otherwise, you will feel the pain of qualified teachers but disregarded, discriminated and stripped of the opportunity to teach and to share their teaching knowledge just because of their old age. We all get older and nobody can oppose that rule of nature.</p>\n<p>Thank you for letting us to share our opinion on this matter. More power!</p>\n<p><strong>Reginaldo</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Being 52 myself, just what are those people implying? I sure as hell don\'t feel I\'ve got one foot in the grave yet! Could it be that they think that; I am too old to be effective; that the students themselves wouldn\'t appreciate a mature, experienced and arguably a wise individual to teach them what they need to know; that we don\'t have the energy required to keep up with the students or maintain their interest or what?</p>\n<p><strong>Rick</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I wholeheartedly agree with your comments regarding those \"not over 45\" job postings. It\'s discriminatory and illegal in our western societies.</p>\n<p>Of course the schools have the right to disregard an applicant of the grounds of age, but to include it in the job ad is right out of order, and I think it would be very wise for you to ban this before it does get out of hand. I seem to recall you put a ban on ads that read \"no flips or Indians\" a while back.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been working in teaching in Thailand for 25 years now, and I\'ve seen more trouble coming from younger teachers than the older ones. The younger teachers are more inclined to hit the bars/pooyings during the week and either take many days off or roll up late and hungover, whereas the older guys are more stable, more in control, as more often they\'re already married or in stable relationships. Also older teachers have more experience, not just teaching experience but experience in life, in handling people and relationships.</p>\n<p>I employed teachers for 15 years at one Thai school. The most trouble I had was with young farang female teachers (which is what most Thai schools are dying to find) I found them dreadfully unreliable, quitting without notice to run off to Koh Samui or Koh Samet to meet their Thai boyfriends, or just getting homesick and vanishing after payday. I also had frequent trouble with young farang male teachers (for the reasons I state above). But no trouble at all with older teachers (45 upwards) who were all married to Thais, interested in keeping their jobs, able to control their drinking, genuinely interested in teaching.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I\'m glad you raised this issue of age and hope you can put an end to it. Keep up the good work!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I have read your page on the debate about older teachers and I wanted to share an alternative view :-)</p>\n<p>First of all to say that I understand the frustration of the older teachers in finding jobs. I have met many of you guys and I am sorry that there aren\'t more \"teachers\" needed in Thailand, but that\'s just it.</p>\n<p>Quoting Lily from the debate page: \"school administrators require teachers to be entertainers rather than educators\" - that is exactly true.</p>\n<p>Thai teachers teach English to Thai students and most kids here can read and write basic English (most better than I could speak French when I finished my eight year at a British public school). The job of the ferang teacher, I believe is to encourage the students to use the English that they have learned in a real environment with \"a real native speaker\". The best way to do that for a teacher is to \"edutain\" and make friends with the children. In actual fact, what would be most beneficial to the children would be a native speaking friend. (I have some Thai friends who, through knowing ferangs, speak far better English than most university graduates)</p>\n<p>So a teacher of 60+ could be a great teacher, probably the best but what these students need is not more teaching, they know enough, they need a reason to speak English and young \"edutainers\" provide that. Young teachers in school give students a reason and the enthusiasm that they need to really learn a language.</p>\n<p>To love learning a language is not something that you can give someone, they have to really want to! Thai students do not need more teachers, they need people to talk to in English. That is why, even a khao sarn road bum could be more beneficial to a child\'s English skills than a triple masters degree bore.</p>\n<p><strong>Rob</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'m over sixty and I have been teaching in BKK for the past 7 years as both a teacher and a head teacher. The branch I work in has been described as having \'more maturity\' than the other branches in the company. The majority of our teachers are over forty five and we have a reputation of having the best teachers\' room atmosphere in the company. Here\'s why.</p>\n<p>The older teachers are usually in Thailand because they have made a personal commitment to live here, not because they are taking a year out for adventure. Some have private income and so don\'t regard the salary as the most important thing in selecting a position. They have had their careers elsewhere and have little to prove in terms of their new position as teachers and that makes them less competitive with one another, less likely to move around if they are happy where they work. Generally, certainly not always, they are more tolerant of the idiocyncracies of others because they have lived more and that makes for less tension in the workplace. They have more life and business experience than younger teachers, though most would have to yield to younger teachers on the subjects of technology and pop culture.</p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief in both Western and Eastern culture, many older people are excellent teachers of the young-there is just something about the passage of time that makes one appreciate young life more. Many of these teachers are the fathers that never were (I\'m the only teacher at my school who is a father and I can tell how attached some of these little kids are to them and I can tell by the way the teachers talk about their students how much they care about them). Teachers of my generation, and this is just a personal observation, have a different work ethic than today, one that was born out of the concept of duty and a time before having to have everything was possible. We don\'t take sick days unless we simply cannot get to work and certainly, no matter how much damage one might have inflicted upon self in the course of lifestyle the night before, we always show up for work. Our peers expect that we will be there, so do the students, and so we will be there. This rubs off on the younger teachers because we let it be known we aren\'t carrying anyone.</p>\n<p>My work experience and observations about Thai management style over the past seven years has led me to the conclusion that little premium is put on staff as an essential input into a business. That probably comes from the farming culture where one farmhand is generally interchangeable with another. There is also a view, likely from the agriculture culture, that a man/woman is worn out by the time they are in their fifties. Thais have little experience with the \'live \'til you die\' culture of the West.</p>\n<p>If a school principal wanted to make his/her job easier, they would forget about age and concentrate on, first, hiring staff that will stick around for the long term and deliver a reliable, consistent teaching service. Second, they would do their utmost to make their teachers\' room an enjoyable and tolerant place for the teachers to want to be. Third, they would support the teachers with resources and amenities that convince the teachers that the principal/owner of the school wants the best possible service for the students. Pay is an important consideration for both the school and the teachers, but it is less important for certain teachers who are in Thailand for the long term.</p>\n<p>Hiring on the basis of age is the least important issue in running a professional school. If you are an upcountry school, you can keep pushing for younger teachers and live with the vacancies and turnover or you can make life easier for yourself and your students by just trying to find people who have the staying power you need. That was what I concentrated on when I was a head teacher and, young or old, I hired the staff I thought would fit into the teachers\' room and who held the work, communication and tolerance ethics that were part of it.</p>\n<p><strong>David</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Nice collection of statements from people. To add minor insult to injury, my own university (RMUT Srivijaya, Trang) just posted an ad on ajarn.com with a specific 45 years age limit. We have a new dean and echelon of vice-deans, I think those who hired me in 2004 would never have allowed such an ad. I\'m being pushed out end of May, but may be one of the oldest Americans teaching at any university in Thai, now 68.</p>\n<p>The four autonomous state universities here have no age limit anchored in law, nor do any of the private college and universities and schools. Payap U in Chiangmai offered me a job last year and said explicitly \'age no bar\', so you might advise a few older TESOLers you know about the autonomous state universities (like Suranaree in Korat), and the fully private institutions, they are \'free\' to hire anyone.</p>\n<p>How the university here in Sikao was able to hire me and get around some clauses in the law for state universities is not fully clear to me, but has something to do with the category of funding from which they financed my position, which apparently was locally generated money (rent from land for date palms, such stuff) available to the campus. My dean, retired last October, definitely wanted a teacher closer to his own age.</p>\n<p>PSU, the biggest university in the south, repeatedly told me they could not hire anyone over 65, but have some way of offering a regular contract to a foreign EFL teacher between 60-63 if they so decide. This too is some kind of loophole, since official cut-off nationally for these state schools is 60.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I read all the reactions on this age-limit-question for certain job applications as English teacher. <br />My opinion is that, if this tendency of putting people of 45+ aside goes on, this will be an ugly development for the aging teachers and for the Thai students in general. Like others before me already stated: the more experienced people (and I mean experienced not only per se in teaching but in knowledge of life in general) will be gone and only (to put it \"bluntly\") the blue eyed, blond beach boy who can entertain the youth with their bullshit will be the ones who are going to be responsible for the \"education\" of the Thai youngster.</p>\n<p>This \"fashion thing\" of hiring the good looking young type, just to impress the parents or whatever, is absolutely stupid. If all these parents who have the money to educate their children properly would use their brains, they for sure have to come to the conclusion that the older teachers will be at the end the ones who are more motivated, more experienced, more stable, so the outcome would be more quality teaching for their children with people who have experienced some more in their lives than just whoring and drinking and going to the disco.</p>\n<p>If they stay ignorant to the fact that most, not all, of these young teachers are just ships passing by in the mist paying for a nice \"2 year holiday\" with their teaching tricks, then don\'t be surprised if Thailand stays behind in comparison to the other developed Asian countries: go to Malaysia and everybody speaks English perfectly and in a country such as Thailand with many, many years of tourism only a lucky few speak English to a certain point of acceptation and then most of the time the ones who speak English well you meet in a bar in Pattaya and those have learned the lingo through their horizontal acrobatics, if you get my picture....so maybe they should hire some of these people to teach English: for sure you have your entertainment there and you learn English to trap a tourist! If they want their youth to be educated through this kind of circus.....No, without the jokes, I think, really, that if they continue this age-thing they will be the next \"sick man of Asia\". Their economy already went down and the lack of a good comprehension of the English language won\'t do any good to their tourist-industry in due time.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I was disappointed that there were hardly any comments on your board coming from younger people. Most reactions came from teachers aging 50+. In fact there should be some kind of union of foreign teachers in Thailand who take the defence of all the things that shouldn\'t happen to foreign teachers doing a good job in Thailand like this age question, schools who don\'t pay the teachers their final salary when they get rid of them in the last term of their contract etc. etc.</p>\n<p>The lack of hardly any reaction of younger \"teachers\" to this particular case shows already the indifference of the younger people to a problem that in time will affect also the younger teachers, but....they don\'t give a shit because it was just an extended holiday right? If they were really motivated teachers then they would have stood up for their peers and joined the discussion. At age 45+ they will be back in their home countries living the \"decent\" life, building a pension with a white woman, having left the drinking and whoring and \"teaching\" behind as a memory which has faded away in time.....</p>\n<p>If schools want entertainers and not teachers, then maybe they should put a big widescreen t.v. in every classroom and just put MTV on and a f**k**g X-box and then you have entertainment enough. And yes, I am still far from being 50 but I believe in solidarity and in fact you shouldn\'t put any ads from schools like that on your board. Let them find their teachers themselves in Khao San road.</p>\n<p><strong>Jeff</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I think there are two main fears working against the 50-plus crowd (honestly I can\'t understand why under 50 has a problem):<br />1. Bad image. Lets face it when you go down Soi Cowboy, or Patpong or have a jaunt down to Pattaya. Which group is most represented in the less then family entertainment establishments...the older 45 very sketchy crowd. Sure the under 30 crowd is more apt to leave early but in a country where image is key, I am sure language centers and universities want to distance themselves from people that Thai society has determined to be \"bad\". Never mind that most of the undesirable crowd are non-native speakers from Germany or France...we all look the same. <br />2. Reality. I saw many people in their 50\'s complaining about not being able to get a good job but, try and do it back home,come on, we are waiting.....<br />3. How can you relate with younger students? I mean a few years ago you were back home complaining how you cannot understand you son\'s taste in music or why you granddaughter insists on dressing like a tramp at the age of 10. This may surprise you but young Thais are just as different if not more so then the people you cannot understand back home. I am thirty and I have trouble connecting with people in their early teens.</p>\n<p>I am not saying it is right but at the end of the day it is how Thailand is, just like mail that never makes it and 20-somethings on koh san road smelling of weed and the same bad song being played at every bar. But instead of complaining about things so much I see two possible solutions 1. go back to America or Britain or wherever and stop whining so much or 2. Get together and start your own language center and give us young uns a run for our money (it would be good I think because it would force my crowd...the 30-40 crowd to stop complaining so much) I hope you choose the second option, it would be good for everyone, but if you are all American, Canadians and Brits (not so much Australians) you will probably go on some rant about how much the world owes you.</p>\n<p><strong>Josh</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/oldteachers.jpg','2006-03-02 09:47:21',1,'2006-03-02 09:47:21','2009-10-29 02:02:22'),(795,21,'More power to us','more-power-to-us','I lay myself prostrate at the threshold of your venerable institute','The Filipino teaching community is huge here in Thailand.

And sometimes on the next day as well? <br />Do you have special software that enables you to do this, or do you just not pay any attention? <br />Do you not think that employers will consider you totally ridiculous for sending a cover letter that is an exact match of another Filipino\'s cover letter?</p>\n<hr />\n<p><em>And some e-mails from the accused</em>.</p>\n<p>This preference for native English speakers in language centers is not only true in Thailand but in many countries as well. On some level, this is also true in the Philippines: white teachers get a higher rate than the Filipino teachers. In fact, I have a white Costa Rican friend who earns more than double of what his Filipino counterparts are earning and he has yet to spend a day in school. Yes, his parents never put him in school! He does not even know what a dangling sentence is but he is already handling English group discussions. On the other hand, his Filipino co-teachers are earning a little more than the minimum wage even though they have university degrees.</p>\n<p>Fact is many Filipinos are fluent in three languages: the dialect of their province (Waray, Bisaya, Ilonggo, etc.), Filipino and English (the two official Philippine languages). Many children of educated parents are actually raised knowing English only. They only learn Filipino in school and by interacting with other kids. All are required to be good in Filipino and English before we leave grade school.</p>\n<p>The Philippines is currently competing with India as the call center capital of the world. 90 % of these companies are US-owned (some are Australian or UK-owned) so it is likely for American Express cardholders, Dell customers, and Microsoft clients to be connected to Filipino call center agents.</p>\n<p>Being a former US-colony and having a government patterned from the US system, the Philippines has its constitution and laws originally written in English. All of our street signs are in English. Court hearings are in English. Public announcements in malls, train stations and car parks are in English. Many of our TV programs and advertisements are in English. We use this language everyday.</p>\n<p>EFL teaching in the Philippines is a booming industry. Every year, thousands of Koreans (students and professionals) fly to Manila, Cebu, Baguio and other Philippine cities to study English. Many of them take their undergraduate courses here as well because it is cheaper in the Philippines than in South Korea and they are forced to interact with English speakers (the Filipinos) everyday.</p>\n<p>I have been to Bangkok a couple of times as a tourist and I am planning to come back to teach but I am very nervous. I have a degree in English Studies but I am afraid that the Bangkok schools will find it lacking. I am a published writer in English but I am afraid that my color will be a problem. I have already taught Koreans for a year but I am afraid that inexperienced Brits or Americans will be considered more qualified than me.</p>\n<p>English is not a white man\'s language. I have met Singaporeans who can spell better than my Aussie friends. I have met American teachers who almost piss in their pants after being told that they\'d have to take some grammar tests. I hope Thais and schools in Thailand will realize that race or nationality has nothing to do with how qualified a person is in teaching this language.</p>\n<p><strong>Dexter.</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I don\'t usually interact with this kind of issue and I guess this would be the first. Honestly, I\'m surprised with the huge numbers of Filipinos come to Thailand day after day. The act would literally tell you that employment is really not easy. Pressures and politics in that matter, but I don\'t really have to talk about it.</p>\n<p>I just want to say that there are a Filipinos who are also qualified to teach take in to accounts. And that schools should give them a chance, on probation perhaps rather than totally shutting them off. Schools shouldn\'t be biased and that discrimination must not be practiced.</p>\n<p>If qualifications are not met then, that\'s the time to share the bad news...<br />I have nothing against Native Speakers over powering Filipinos but the main concern is probably the chance for others as well native or non - native speakers.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Guilty. Yes, I am indeed guilty of massively sending out resumes to all job posts I see over the internet for TESL whether Thailand, Japan, China even as far as Mongolia. It\'s basically under this universal premise - the more resumes sent, the bigger the chance for responses. You have to take into consideration that our second language is English. Even kindergarten pupils speak perfect English. Apart from that we actually have some kind of joke here - you can practically bump into a Filipino whichever corner of the world you\'re in. Every deserted island from Africa to Oceania, there is 100% chance that a Filipino is making his living there. It goes to show our resiliency. This trait is actually one of the findings that I got when I conducted my college thesis on popular culture.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I don\'t think Filipinos are shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to Thailand job hunt. You said it yourself, the Filipino teaching community is huge out there. So flooding recruiters\' inboxes with emails aint bad after all. It works!</p>\n<p><strong>Geraldine</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Although I would like to express my opinion on this matter, I\'m afraid that this site is biased and sides more with the recruiters/employers and the native speakers of english with white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair.</p>\n<p>But it\'s worth a try. Let\'s see...</p>\n<p>I\'ve been working in a school for 5 years all of which I must say has given me an insight about teachers from different cultures, Thai, Indian, Filipinos and Native Speakers, (British, American, Australian, New Zealand, Canada etc.) including Russian, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch.</p>\n<p>I am a Filipino and my school has a policy of recruiting only native speakers preferably white skin and blonde hair. And yes, I receive 50 e-mails everyday for the first 5 days every time we post an ad. And there are many Filipinos answering the ad as well as other nationalities. But between receiving an over formal cover letter and receiving a cover letter that writes \"I\'ve taught english to a Friend in Thailand and I\'d love to work at your school\" - I\'d definitely rather like to read the over formal cover letter which at least shows respect to the profession and to the school. Mediocrity is a work of lazy people.</p>\n<p>A Cover letter is an important part of a CV. One must be able to write a good cover letter especially if you\'re a teacher.</p>\n<p>The issue of qualification:<br />Between an Asian/Filipino and a native speaker\'s resume. <br />I have two resumes in my hand: one from an Asian lady who taught english for two years in Thailand and one from a native speaker who taught english for 6 months in a language school.</p>\n<p>After presenting it to the employer of my school, needless to say - she chose the white skin, blue eyes and blonde hair candidate. And why is that?....</p>\n<p>So it comes to my mind: What about the quality of the school? Should we pursue the famous I have a \"farang teacher\" rather than the quality of teaching which reflects the school? If it\'s all about the image, where will the quality of education be in the next ten years? Unfortunately, it\'s all about the image. And that is something that Filipinos or other Asian nationalities can\'t do anything about.</p>\n<p>International schools are springing out like mushrooms in Bangkok alone. And all have the same idea: to have a farang teacher - regardless of qualification. And oh yes!!! what about the fake certificate one can easily get at Khao San road?</p>\n<p>A principal from one of the popular international schools in Bangkok admits that while their students do speak english fluently, they can\'t write equally good as they speak, and its far different. So, what do you think of that?</p>\n<p>Then there comes the issue of equality, and fairness.<br />The issue of quality not quantity.<br />The issue of racism. <br />The issue of good to excellent educational leadership.</p>\n<p>So before you start to think of anything else. think of these matters first... because they do count more importantly. . .</p>\n<p><strong>Cho, a Filipino.</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I am a Filipino residing and working in Thailand. I say Filipinos are getting discriminated against in getting a good teaching job in Thailand. I had to admit that we have our share of failures. More and more Filipinos are coming to Thailand untrained and not really qualify to teach English. But what about those Filipinos who are qualified? Those Filipinos who got a degree in Education and those who passed their TOEFL/TESOL/CELTA certifications. Yes, Filipinos are not native speakers and regardless of how we try we will not be (not if we live in an English Speaking country). But WE can teach. Grammar wise, I say we are better than \"real farang\". Conversation wise, some are as competitive as any \"real farang\".</p>\n<p>Our education in Philippines is solely based on American curriculum. English subjects were taught early on. And most of the other subjects like science, math, music, computer and even our history are being taught in English. English Language is everywhere - music, movies, videos, books, newspapers, shooping malls, fast food chains, just to name a few. Our experience in learning the language is far better than any Asian countries. And we speak better too. We can easily loose our regional accent in a month or two. American outsourcing companies are all over the Philippines. Companies like American Express, Sykes, People Support are investing heavily to trained Filipinos to answer phone calls and inquiries coming from the United States. There was an article in some Washington newspaper about 3 years ago asking Pres. GW Bush to stop the outsourcing companies to hire Filipinos because American residents needed jobs too.</p>\n<p>Currently, I am teaching in a small private school in Phatthalung. This is my first teaching job and I like it. The school doesn\'t have any English Program so I have to work from scratch. But we had some succees. My students did very well on the Sermpanya.com English Proficiency Test. We are number 1 in Phatthalung province, number 12 in the south and number 81 in all Thailand. There are about 12,000 students who took the tests this year. In one local English contests here in Phatthalung we beat the school who have a \"real farang\" to handle their English Program.</p>\n<p>Again, Filipinos are being discriminated for just being a Filipino. I want to ask the employers, the school supervisors... please have a second look at our application. We may not be as good as any \"real farang\" in paper, but we always get the job done.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'m a one time teacher, Chaiyaphum, decided teaching wasn\'t for me at the time and that the agency I was working for was sub-standard, so I left it.</p>\n<p>\n<p>During my short stay there as M.2/M.5 English teacher, I saw the agency mistreat Filipinos in a way that seemed to be taken for granted as being perfectly just and the norm. Filipinos are subjected to blatant discrimination in Thailand in the English teaching racket on top of often coming from such dire economic situations in their country, and schools and agencies often would never consider paying Filipinos wages on par with those made by Falang and don\'t seem to view this type of behavior as being in any way unethical. <br />This is well known.</p>\n<p>An additional angle I\'d like to tack onto this discussion is that of the Falang view point when confronted with this kind of activity. I personally felt very uncomfortable living and working with a woman from the Philippines who was working hard to support her family that she was separated from, who had eight years teaching experience and a Master\'s Degree of some kind who was making quite a bit less than I. I, by the way, had no experience teaching, and still have no degree! To top it off, when they offered her a contract extension, accompanying it was a pay cut! I also noticed that she wasn\'t invited to many outings and English Camp gatherings and so forth.</p>\n<p>The agency deemed it none of my business when I voiced my feeling about this. It feels awkward at best to teach and live with a second class citizen when you\'re considered to be first class. I wonder how Filipinos might better their cause, and hope they find and implement a way to do so.</p>\n<p><strong>Bryan</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I am bothered about hearing so many sad stories of Filipinos teaching English in Thailand. First, they have gone through this process called \"discrimination\". Second, they have to try very hard to prove their capability because of, again, discrimination. They are not native speakers and so they have to prove they\'re good. And it\'s a pity because, even how hard they try, still, they are being turned down because they are not \"native\".</p>\n<p>What do they have to do? Appeal in the UN so they would be recognized as another English speakers? Yes, they don\'t own the language, but for God\'s sake, English has been a part of their lives so many centuries back. And they become ally of so many English speaking countries. They are ranked third largest English speaker after UK and US.</p>\n<p>If the only way for them to get recognized is to rally in front of the UN Headquarter, then they have to do it.</p>\n<p>And for the Filipinos who are being discriminated because of the \'Filipinized\' English...long live the battle for recognition!!!! You have to march in front of the UN Headquarter, so you would be noticed.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I am Filipino student who is planning to teach in Thailand right after my graduation. Now, with regard to the questions you posted regarding the preponderance of Filipino teachers in Thailand, my answers to the questions are as follows:</p>\n<p>Can Filipinos make it easier for themselves to find jobs?</p>\n<p>Filipinos are extremely adaptable and talented people. This is the reason why most Filipinos who go abroad succeed. This is also the reason why most employers prefer Filipino workers to their Asian counterparts. While other nationalities suffer from culture shock and other migration-related problems and even need months or years to adjust to their new environments, Filipinos readily adjust themselves to the culture i.e. lifestyle and language of their host countries.</p>\n<p>They do it through learning the language including the accent (that\'s how intrinsically motivated Filipinos are), befriending with their hosts and establishing a good relationship with them. The flexibility of the Filipino self can be indirectly accounted for the fact that the Filipino race is a product of many races. Also the Philippines is a very multicultural country; its more than 7,000 islands are inhabited by people with distinct cultural practices and languages. Filipinos get to expose themselves to other cultures and languages in the Philippines when they visit different places in the country and when they go to cities like Metro Manila, the so-called melting pots of Filipino culture, to study, work, conduct business, etc. In these cities the hosts (city people) and the guests (those from the provinces) adjust with each other in terms of language and practices. In short, Filipinos have already learned and exposed to such types of adjustments even before going out to other countries</p>\n<p>Filipinos are also talented and creative people. Most of them can be considered jack-of-all-trades considering the variety of tasks they can do. Filipinos also have a known work ethics marked by their sincerity and passion for their work Sadly, they only manifest such work ethics when they are in other countries probably because of the more motivating work atmosphere.<br />Filipinos are also humble. They are willing to start with the most basic of salaries and be assigned to inconvenient areas.</p>\n<p>What about the English-native speaker status issue?</p>\n<p>Undeniably, Filipinos are among the best speakers of English in Asia. Some Filipinos even speak the English language as fashionable as the native speakers. However, it can\'t also be denied that some Filipinos particularly those who did not attend good universities speak Filipino English, which like any English varieties around, is a bit different from international English. <br />The ability of Filipinos to communicate and teach in English excellently should be the most important thing to consider not their non-native English speaker status. After all, it\'s not the knowledge about the English language (or any subject for that matter) that only counts in language teaching or any field of teaching but more importantly is the ability to use or share this knowledge with other people. Filipinos make the perfect package because aside from their good knowledge in English they also have the passion for imparting this knowledge to their students.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I am very surprised on the very high level of discrimination other ASIAN countries had with Filipino teachers. The idea of hiring only native speakers to teach english and other subjects in their country seemed to be a good option in realizing their dream of having an english speaking citizens. Since the coming of the Americans way back 1800s here in the Philippines, the speaking of english by a Filipino had become part of its culture and everyday dealings.</p>\n<p>Right now, western countries like the US, Canada, Europe and other english speaking countries in the world have opened more doors for Filipinos to teach their children. Just recently, The US states have hired more than 5000 Filipinos and the demand grows higher and higher every year. These opportunities for Filipino Teachers would not just come overboard without due planning and thorough evaluation of the Filipino potentials by their experts and planners.</p>\n<p>There is now an existing paradox: Caucasians are hiring Filipino Teachers to teach their kids while Asians are hiring native speakers to teach children. With the demand of hiring 2 million teachers in the US for the next decade I think Thailand, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and other asian countries should reconsider their selective(racial)preference in hiring teachers. A good educative processes/programs by a country should eliminate biases and disciminatory approaches. Education should cater to all walks of life and races.</p>\n<p>The next thing to watch in the coming few years will be the migration of Filipino Teachers in America, Canada and other English speaking countries because their expertise and experience are sought for and their qualifications stand out among other nationalities of asian origin.</p>\n<p><strong>Antonio</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Been in Thailand for almost a year but the issue of discrimination bothers me. I am an English major and been teaching the language on EFL and ESL context for 8 years now. There are plenty of Filipinos teaching English here in Thailand. There\'s no problem with that. The problem is there are those who have the guts to teach the language but they don\'t have the skills and training to do so. With this premise, you can\'t blame Thai adminstrators if they prefer Native Speakers.( I am not really comfortable using the term \"native speakers\" because they don\'t exist. Its a myth. Ask the socio-linguists and they will answer \" fluent user of English\" )</p>\n<p>Remember: You can\'t give what you don\'t have. You can call me biased or whatever but let me tell you this fellow Filipino teachers.</p>\n<p>WHEN IT COMES TO ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING, LEAVE IT TO THE ENGLISH MAJORS.</p>\n<p>Do I have the bragging rights. What do you think? To Thai Admin.: IF YOU WANT A GOOD ENGLISH TEACHER THEN HIRE AN ENGLISH MAJOR FROM THE PHILIPPINES.</p>\n<p>Sorry about this but those non-english majors are doing injustice to us English teachers. Why? I don\'t have to explain because its common sense.</p>\n</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I think that we are over simplifying the Filipino issue in Thailand. The attitude that if we throw enough mud against the wall, some will stick just does not work. Many might not view that as resiliency but a lack of professionalism. Parents want their children to speak English with proper pronunciation. This is why most schools let Filipinos teach grammar and the Westerner\'s conversation. This might be why many children speak very good English but lack writing skills as many schools do not have the budgets at time to afford both so they choose conversation over grammar as it shows progress to the parents. Teaching is a market, and you have market forces at play. With so many qualified and unqualified Filipinos in Thailand, the supply of Filipino teachers far outstrips the demand. This imbalance causes people to abuse the situation as they take the view that there is more waiting outside to come in and mass mailing your CV just reinforces this perception. Yes, Filipinos do shoot themselves in the foot both here in Thailand and in Dubai! As for an existing paradox, I see none. What I do see this is global economics at play. Western countries \"pouch\" staff from less fortunate countries as it decreases their salary bills. How many nurses in the UK, Middle East or even Holland are from those countries? Welcome to Global Economics 101.</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Andre</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>It\'s comforting to know some people care about what\'s going on....<br />Discrimination per se is not new so who cares? We weren\'t born yesterday. Filipinos almost all over the world are considered 2nd class citizens and I am not bitter about it, I have been to other places and I kinda like it here (been here for three consecutive years now).</p>\n<p>Speaking from experience I attended a workshop/training seminar ( I was part of the team of trainors) most recently where the opening speech from the chairman was I should say, purely anti - filipino and pretty offensive too because he said filipinos are \"kikiat\" and \"ngong\" that the trainer from the British council came up to me and was very sorry some people had such views.</p>\n<p>Teaching English in Thailand is no joke that nobody has the bragging right. \"Native speakers\" can be rightly preferred because they are born with the language and the idea of perfection that comes with it but teaching could be another angle. Filipinos can teach the language purely owing to the reason that we learned it and it was taught to us. But then again experience can be the best teacher. There is always that big sphere of learning and improvement and please note there is no perfect language.</p>\n<p>Secondly, finding a job is no joke either and everybody has the right earn a living, let us stop discriminating and on the sad note kababayans please don\'t discriminate your kababayans. Please do care people here mean serious business because they are paying serious money, if you don\'t have what it takes please don\'t. Ruining the \"Filipino Values\" could mean a downfall to everybody.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, employers please don\'t seal the fate of an individual simply because he is a filipino... Germans, Dutch and French are not in any circumstance native speakers. Proper screening could help at least do away with the so called \"rotten ones\" and make use of the \"good ones\". Give us a chance to prove our worth.</p>\n<p>I am presently working with the english program in one of the best government schools in Thailand happily being paid a \"falang\'s\" wages with all of the benefits not to mention housing allowance, paid leaves and vacations. And writing lesson plans for a year now for an English program in another school in Bangkok. I should say, Angel or whoever you are I am not an English Major and so are my other foreigner friends be it filipinos or westerners. Please stop this seemingly unstoppable bad attitude towards others after all we are all but humans if you know what I mean.</p>\n<p>I sincerely worked for where I am now and everybody deserves his or her own chance...</p>\n<p><strong>Jessie</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/morepower.jpg','2007-10-29 10:20:18',1,'2007-10-29 10:20:18','2009-10-29 02:02:19'),(796,21,'Black teachers in Thailand','black-teachers-in-thailand','Does racism exist in The Land of Smiles?','Over the years, ajarn.com has asked the question \'do black teachers have a harder time finding work in Thailand?\' Racism? Xenophobia? Fear of the unfamiliar?  These have been some of the responses from various teachers.','<h3><em>Douglas to start off the discussion.</em></h3>\n<p><em></em>My name is Douglas Ashby and I\'m an African American teacher here in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been with a popular language school since its inception. I\'ve taught corporate classes for Sony Vector, Toyota, HP, and so on. I\'ve never had a problem securing work here. Privately, I have instructed over 50 businessmen and international students in various aspects of the English language.</p>\n<p>Is it hard to find work for black folks? It depends. My experience is that the more affluent, educated Thais realize that teaching abilities and effectiveness have nothing to do with ethnicity or skin color. Furthermore, my experience is that the more educated farangs who fill director positions at local schools realize that teaching abilities and effectiveness have nothing to do with ethnicity or skin color.</p>\n<p>My experience also is that those who might be \"academically challenged\" , Thai, farang or otherwise, seem to keep the notion that persons of color are seemingly less qualified than their white anglo counterparts (could it be to keep the benchmark at a ridiculously low level?? too conspiratorial for my tastes).</p>\n<p>Knowing such, I approach it for what its worth. Racism exists everywhere. I urge all black teachers to buck the system and prove differently.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3><em>Does racism exist in Thailand? \"undoubtedly\" says Mark</em></h3>\n<p><em><strong></strong></em>In my opinion, there is definite racism in the Thai community. I worked in Thailand for 2 years and experienced it first hand.</p>\n<p>First of all as a backpacker. I was waiting for a room to free up at a guesthouse in Bangkok when a black guy came in and asked if there were any rooms. The owner said no they were full. I was shocked to hear as they guy went away, the owner say under his breath, fu*k off you black bast*rd and get out of my country.</p>\n<p>In the school that I worked at it was policy not to hire a black teacher. The owner told me that the reason she asked for a photo when applying was to check if they were black or not. When I asked her why, she said that she didnt mind \'them\' but the students wouldn\'t accept a black teacher.</p>\n<p>The ironical thing about this argument is that white people often get treated better than Thais (for example in restaurants etc).</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Is the white man\'s welcome coming to an end?</h3>\n<p>This is a myth being perpetrated by racists largely from Europe, America, and Britain residing right here in Bangkok and other parts of Asia. These people never fail to miss an opportunity to demonstrate their racist attitudes.</p>\n<p>To even assertain such a silly topic as to whether a person of color can teach both native and non-native speakers the English language is laughable.</p>\n<p>Perhaps, it would serve you best, if you would sober up and look around you. Start with the woman you\'re climbing out of bed with. The vast majority of people in Southeast Asia have skin that is considered to be black, or close to it.</p>\n<p>I wonder, is the white man\'s welcome finally coming to an end in Asia?</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>We will overcome</h3>\n<p>I am black and very hard working. I have a decent education background and now fully armed with a BA and loads of teaching experience. Still it\'s really difficult for me to get a job in Thailand.</p>\n<p>At this one school, a week after I had started to teach, I was told that an Italian teacher would replace me because \"I was not qualified enough\". I met the Italian teacher \"Mr. Alex\" and all the staff was so pleased to meet him. I found out that he was actually an Iranian refugee called &lsquo;Ali\' who didn\'t even have a high school diploma!</p>\n<p>What\'s funnier is that one of the other \"English Native Speakers\" in this same school was an Israeli who spoke some English but did not know the English alphabet - and I was being replaced!! I kid you not!</p>\n<p>I have heard of worse scenarios than mine. Due to the fact that I am black and living in Thailand I try so hard to do more than what is required of me to keep a job. It\'s really painful to see backpackers and other not so qualified teachers replace us because they are white. I dream of a day where all teachers in Thailand would have to go through a government sponsored screening process run by WHITES! Yes! We Blacks have a better chance of employment in Thailand when the interviewer is a Caucasian.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Having said this there are a handful of blacks that are paving the way for the rest of us. I was employed in a school outside of Bangkok. simply because they were happy with a black teacher that once taught there. We have been through worse. We will overcome - slowly but surely.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The Thai children love me!</h3>\n<p>I\'m a browned skinned teacher working here in Bangkok. It\'s nice to know that I\'m not alone. I thought I\'d share my views on this topic.</p>\n<p>Yes, it\'s always going to be harder to find work and that\'s something you have to accept. However, There are so many schools that are crying out for teachers you will certainly find something it just might not be the job you were looking for.</p>\n<p>I have a native accent which helps. Although, I think there are probably a lot of brown/black teachers that don\'t.</p>\n<p>You have to remember schools are paying for a native speaker and to be fair if the students can\'t understand you, then it\'s a waste of time.</p>\n<p>I came over from England worrying about would I find a job. I\'ve not really had any major problems. Unfortunately, in places such as \"Pattaya\" the darker races can be very rude and aggressive! The Thai people see a lot of this going on and I do sympathize with them.</p>\n<p>I\'m completely the opposite to this and when most Thai people meet and get to know me their views dramatically change. I\'m working at a government school in Bangkok and the majority of children love me. Life can be hard at times but if you don\'t try you won\'t know? Good luck!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>A step in the right direction</h3>\n<p>Back in 2001 I came to Bangkok and did a TEFL course with a well known language provider. In my class were two black teachers.</p>\n<p>I asked at a school I\'d acquired work at, if they would employ them and I was told definitely not. The Thai owners said that the families would remove their children from the school if they did.</p>\n<p>Well, three years on I have come back to Thailand to teach , I called in to see my friends at that first training school and am happy to say they have broken ranks and employed a black teacher. A big thumbs up to them. Lets hope those with the mentality of a minion follow their example.</p>\n<p>A big step in the right direction.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Reality check</h3>\n<p>As a falang teacher working here, and knowing many other falang teachers, word tends to get around on this subject.</p>\n<p>There really is no point in trying to reassure black teachers that there are plenty of reasons to come to Thailand. There aren\'t. The simple fact of the matter is that they will not be hired, certainly in relation to public and private schools.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know about language schools in this regard. As falangs who live here know, there are many contradictions between Thai culture and the teachings of Buddha, just as there are in every other country in the world. The correct term for this is racism, and it is alive and well in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Got any female Thai friends ? Ever noticed the latent jealousy of Thais with darker complexions ?</p>\n<p>Look out on any Thai street during the day, especially at the girls/women as they cross the road. They are obsessed with blocking any ray of sunshine from hitting their delicate skin.</p>\n<p>Why ? God forbid any of it causing them to be darker. So it\'s just not going to help our black brothers and sisters to sell them false re-assurance. Sad, but true.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Not only Thailand</h3>\n<p>Well, I don\'t know about Thailand, but I can tell you about Taiwan.</p>\n<p>I\'d been working out there for a couple of years when a good friend of mine pitched up with the intention of doing the traditional seven year course one goes through to qualify as a practitioner of Chinese medicine.</p>\n<p>Now it just so happens that this friend of mine was a graduate of Oxford University, so he was bright as they come by anybody\'s standards and surely the sort of lad you\'d want to have working at your school. I mean Oxford University for goodness sake!</p>\n<p>Well, I\'m afraid not even that can outweigh the stigma and prejudice attached to being black. Not even a foreign friend of mine who ran one of Taiwan\'s \"ajarn\" equivalents was able to land him a one year contract with a school.</p>\n<p>So unfortunately it remains the case that if you\'re black then Oxford University or not, you\'re up against it. I wouldn\'t want to suggest that the prevailing culture in Taiwan tolerates people being openly racist, but nevertheless, it\'s got a way to go yet.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3><em>Some words from Dr Jobass based on his study</em></h3>\n<p><em></em>I am a social scientist who, among other things, have lived in Thailand, visits there twice a year and conducted the most extensive research on Thai Attitudes Toward African Americans and Africans ever published.</p>\n<p>My treatise entitled \'From Victim to Victory to Victim Again\' is a comprehensive study of prejudice in Thailand from the days of the war in Vietnam to the first part of 2004. I worked with the American Embassy to bring an end to discrimination against Blacks during the war years leading a team of 50 assistants. The study was wholly scientific.</p>\n<p>Most recently, I have done a quasi-scientific study of prejudice in Thailand and the focus was on Africans as the number in that category is growing (representatives from 40 African nations) while there are few African Americans there now compared to the war years. I am an African American of mixed blood. I speak the language and have contacts at several levels of the Thai society.</p>\n<p>At the conclusion of my recent limited study, I found that there was no organized prejudice against the African American but there was some against the African.</p>\n<p>However, there is also some prejudice against other groups as well as the infusion of foreign capital form Korean and Japan has greatly impacted the total society of Thailand especially in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I hope to do a more scientific study of the problem in the year approaching if my time permits, as my agency has the funds for such a study and it is needed, although not requested or seen as important for the Thai elite.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Preconceptions do vanish</h3>\n<p>It\'s not easy for a black person to work as a teacher in Thailand. On the other hand, the onus is really on people like me to share experiences and set the tone of the discussion.</p>\n<p>I\'m a black American who has taught English in Thailand for three years. I have not experienced any reportable racism. In my experience Thais are not racist; they\'re prejudice -- just like people all around the world.</p>\n<p>In a homogenous society, as is the case for Thailand, it is not surprising that people would have preconceived notions of strangers (blacks or otherwise). My experience has shown me that after even a few seconds of social interaction, the great majority of Thais are genuinely nice and welcoming.</p>\n<p>The reaction of course is dependent on how I present myself. Apparently I\'m on to something.</p>\n<p>My guess is showing respect, being polite, patient and presentable (a few things my parents taught me) cause a friendly response. And trust me, the response is genuine. As a testament to this genuine nature and in terms of teaching opportunities, I have dozens of private students (from P1 to M1 as well as a few adults) outside of my work in a private school.</p>\n<p>Thais, in my opinion, who are not familiar with blacks, seem pleasantly surprised once an amiable experience is gained. In fact, the experience, at first, is a novelty and people seem to like that they like it, which ultimately makes the experience more profound.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, I\'m not on a crusade to win people over. I put forth the same modest social effort in all situations.</p>\n<p>With regards to teaching, I have worked in several primary schools (through an agency) and of course get a curious look from parents and teachers the first morning of a term. However after the first lesson, once everyone realizes I\'m an effective teacher (i.e. prepared, informed, fun and engaging), any and all preconceptions vanish.</p>\n<p>The kids dig it, the schools dig it and the parents seem to like that their child has \"the black teacher\", not to mention that the child is actually learning.</p>\n<p>Maybe the uniqueness of the experience is more memorable? I don\'t know. I do know that native English speakers of color (particularly blacks) create the possibility of a broad learning experience by simply not being a status quo teacher.</p>\n<p>Think about it, you have two equally (I mean exactly!) qualified and talented teachers, both American, one white and the other black, respectively. Which one offers the greater learning experience beyond the language instruction?</p>\n<p>Remember that both teachers are equally skilled. I believe the black teacher can affect the child\'s lifelong learning in terms of social tolerance and world view. As you are well aware,</p>\n<p>Thai kids could certainly use a broad world view. And as I am well aware, Thai kids are completely color blind to race.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately at some point as children move on to adulthood they tend to gather an opinion about racial matters. Most opinions, and definitely negative ones, are based more on assumptions than actual experience.</p>\n<p>The web forums about how difficult it is for black teachers in Thailand and other parts of Asia just reinforce the status quo (i.e. English teachers are white guys) and discourage some blacks from experiencing these places for themselves; as a result denying students the broad experience.</p>\n<p>Furthermore it may instill the false idea that there really aren\'t talented teachers of varying hues, hence perpetuating issues of ignorance.</p>\n<p>If in fact it were true that there are no capable teachers outside of the status quo, it would really be a frightening science fiction-type scenario. Without a doubt, it\'s well past the time that we view ourselves, all of us, simply as Earthlings.</p>\n<p>The more I\'ve traveled, the more I realize that that\'s what we really have in common, Earth. All of the differences, the colors, cultures, customs and such are here to make the shared experience more interesting. Why limit experience?</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The negativity didn\'t come from Thais</h3>\n<p>I am a Black American and would have to agree with others. Thais are not racist, but are very much regular people - overwhelmingly decent but prejudiced just like everybody else in the world, including the Black people from my big city neighborhood in the U.S., who would look a Thai up and down if one randomly walked through our all-Black block.</p>\n<p>I have just recently returned from Thailand, and, while not a teacher, have travelled extensively through parts of the country. I did not experience any racism from the Thai people, although I did get a huge amount of stares and curious/perplexed looks, especially outside of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>About the only negativity was if I didn\'t buy from a vendor at the various night markets - then some would shout rudely, usually in Thai, so I\'m not sure if racists words were included.</p>\n<p>I travelled with a group of four young Black women (braids, twist, naturals, and a perm) and we were never denied access to anything and got along great with pretty much everyone we met.</p>\n<p>The Thai people especially responded well to us when we spoke a few words of Thai to them. In Koh Samui, many seemed generally surprised that we could say anything or would ask us where we were from. They even greeted us more enthusiatically than they did the Europeans.</p>\n<p>By the time we left Thailand, we had heard that we were beautiful several times and a few cab drivers even held their arms against ours and said \"same, same\" in regards to color. Sure, we ran in to some Thai grouches along the way, but for the most part they were all good. A smile and a good attitude can get you through any place!</p>\n<p>Usually any negativity that I received came from the huge amount of white Australian, British, and American farangs that congregated in Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Koh Samui. And Bangkok, to a lesser degree.</p>\n<p>Honestly, the whites looked at us with pure contempt and had an attitude of entitlement to Thailand. You could tell that they felt that we had no right to be anywhere in Thailand. We had one group of whites tell our tuk-tuk driver to take them as passengers (mind you while we were still in the back) and had an old white guy literally walk up and shove us from behind.</p>\n<p>Seriously, I am not making this up. There were other incidents but they are not even worth mentioning.</p>\n<p>In my opinion, I think that many of the difficulties mentioned by some of of the Black teachers in this forum are the result of European and American whites spreading lies and racist notions about us. I\'ve experienced their bad attitudes first-hand and they are a large, influential group in Thailand.</p>\n<p>This is even more reason for Black people to continue to travel to Thailand (and anywhere else for that matter) and undo any damage that may have been done.</p>\n<p>As for the Vietnam war stuff and other historical issues that may have affected the way Black people are perceived in Thailand, I really can\'t speak to this because I know very little about it. But honestly, I think that most Thai are intelligent people and will treat you decently as long as you are respectful and decent.</p>\n<p>I say anybody Black should at least go and try travelling/teaching/living in Thailand. There is no guaranteed great experience anywhere that you go, but its highly unlikely that you\'ll experience any real problems other than the typical foreigner/farang-out-of-water situations.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<h3><em>Melissa Jones is currently teaching in Thailand&nbsp;</em></h3>\n<p><em></em>I am a teacher in Thailand. An African American woman.</p>\n<p>The issue about Black people in Thailand is one that should be discussed as often as possible. There is limited information about our experiences here and I think it is important that we share the good bad and ugly.</p>\n<p>In the name of sharing, I would like to share my experience in hopes that you revisit the topic in the future. I came to Thailand totally ignorant of basically everything and I hadn\'t even thought about potential racism. Having just graduated from an HBCU (Historically Black College and University), I had been sheltered as much as one possibly could be from racism in my every day interactions.</p>\n<p>Coming here opened my eyes to how deep and how far racism has traveled.</p>\n<p>It definitely is here in Thailand. It is as present as it is anywhere where there is access to Western media. Unfortunately one of Americas greatest exports is media- Hollywood, advertising and the likes. And in America, African Americans images in mainstream media aren\'t exactly diverse and we aren\'t painted positively as often as we are negatively.</p>\n<p>Here, this racism is all inclusive not only affecting African Americans but also Thai people with darker skin. Kids wear white powder on their faces to lighten themselves and I would venture to say that whitening creams are one of the highest selling products in the Thai market.</p>\n<p>The word for white doubles as the word for beautiful for God sakes! Having said all of this, it is important to realize, as I have being here, that this racism or idea that lighter skin being the symbol of all things good, in some shape or form reaches to the very ends of the Earth or it seems that way.</p>\n<p>That doesn\'t mean that everyone everywhere excepts that to be true. Thailand is no different and everyone of every race who has the opportunity to visit, or work here should jump at it.</p>\n<p>Living in the South with the darker Thai people, I have felt welcome. The Thais have called me beautiful and treated me kindly while some have not.</p>\n<p>Yet for the most part I have been welcomed with warm smiles, and offered food and drink most places that I\'ve gone. And most of importantly my children love me...</p>\n<p>In order to overcome the stereotypes we must make connections with people, we must show them hard work ethic in the work place not because we have to but because that is what good workers do.</p>\n<p>We should show our bright smiles and not come into Thailand defensive and ready to combat racism. Racism is ignorance and a kind action can educate. This is a beautiful country and I love it here. I\'m not staying forever, but I am glad I have the opportunity to be here and experience everything that I have.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/its-not-the-land-of-smiles-for-us\">It\'s not the \'Land of Smiles\' for us - Facing challenges as a black teacher in Thailand</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/tosir.jpg','2015-10-28 21:06:29',1,'2015-10-28 21:06:29','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(797,21,'Corporate training','corporate-training','Is the end really nigh?','We\'ll send a teacher to your company two nights a week and after forty hours your employees will be gassing to each other like natives. Yeah, right. Why are so many Bangkok-based companies saying \'enough is enough\' where English language training is concerned? ','<p>Before I begin, I want to make something absolutely clear. I\'ve not written this article to be my usual controversial self. The facts, figures and opinions have been based on conversations and business relationships with over one hundred training and human resource managers working in Bangkok-based multinational or Thai companies. I haven\'t plucked this article out of thin air. I was intrigued by the number of Thai training managers who now see English language training as a &lsquo;necessary evil\' - a low priority way to throw some of their company money down the toilet. English language training is something they\'ve tried many times before but never seems to work. Students show little or no improvement. Many of the students don\'t even bother to turn up for class (I\'ll go into the reasons later). And yet the amazing thing is that companies continue to throw good money after bad.\n<p>In the words of one of Bangkok\'s finest language consultants (now retired), \"95% of language providers in Thailand just don\'t deliver either what they promise or what the company actually needs. Only now, are the companies beginning to realize it and are saying enough is enough\".</p>\n<p>Many new teacher arrivals in Thailand have the notion that the corporate training market is the most lucrative to tap into. Many fly-by-night back-street language schools have set up shop and sat someone down at a desk with a phone directory in the mistaken belief that if you call up one hundred companies, tell them you\'re an English language provider, you can then sit back and watch the business (and money) come rolling in. In reality, nothing is further from the truth. It\'s one of the hardest areas to get into for the would-be teacher (certainly if you\'re operating on a freelance basis) and one of the fastest ways to ruin your reputation if you\'re a language provider that promises the earth and then fails to deliver.</p>\n<p>What is corporate training by definition? It\'s when a company calls up a language provider or language institute and gets them to test a particular group of employees and then provide face-to-face tuition on the company premises. The employees/students can range from a group of receptionists looking to improve their overall communication and telephone skills to a solitary manager or director wanting to enhance his performance when delivering a Powerpoint presentation.</p>\n<p>The most common form of training is what I call the 3T course (teacher, tape and textbook). A &lsquo;qualified, experienced\' teacher (hopefully) will go to the company twice a week (usually after company working hours) and deliver a business English course with both a textbook and tape in tow. Language schools dress up the title of the course with no end of fancy names (communication for business, etc, etc) but at the end of the day it\'s a course for everyday working Thais to improve their confidence and to stop them running into the nearest dark corner the moment a farang employee asks them a question.</p>\n<p>Companies have been implementing the stale 3T courses for donkey\'s years, often cramming a ridiculous 15-16 students in a room barely big enough to swing a tape recorder. In my time I\'ve even taught in company canteens because XYZ Computers don\'t have a spare room for the English class. I\'m sorry, but you can\'t teach English and you can\'t study English in a canteen or reception area. I don\'t care how good you are.</p>\n<p>Very often the material presented from textbooks (Business Basics and Business Objectives are two popular choices) is totally irrelevant to Thai students. There are long, drawn-out sections on taking a flight and ordering wine and a starter in a posh French four-star. What hope has a teacher got of maintaining any kind of interest level to a bunch of people who rarely venture further than the end of the street and whose idea of a &lsquo;beverage with your meal\' ends with a glass of water every single time. Of course, it\'s in the hands of the teacher to be selective with the textbook and omit or refrain from teaching the &lsquo;boring bits\' but when unpaid lesson preparation time is something of a luxury amid a busy teaching schedule, well, it ain\'t that easy.</p>\n<p>The most popular time for students to study a 3T course is after work on a Tuesday and Thursday. Monday and Wednesday is a popular choice also. There\'s an initial buzz of anticipation as every student wants to get a glimpse of their new farang teacher, but then two weeks into the program, an employee begins to realize that staying behind after work for two hours to study English and then battling the traffic and getting home at 10 at night is not a lot of fun. As a result, class attendance plummets and the teacher\'s job is made infinitely more difficult as half the class who show up on Thursday is not the same half that came on Tuesday. Continuity goes right out of the window dragging progress along with it.</p>\n<p>Spending large amounts of time as I do in multi-national companies, it\'s frightening to see the amount of pressure that employees are under in this new global environment. Employees are constantly being evaluated from those colleagues above them and those below. There are sales targets to reach, seminars and specialized training courses to attend, and then on top of that - the job they are paid to do. And then there are bloody English language lessons getting in the way of it all.</p>\n<p>A handful of companies have realized that after a hard day\'s work is no time to study a foreign language, and have set up &lsquo;early bird\' classes, where the employees arrive at the office an hour early on a given morning and study before work, let\'s say 7.30am to 8.30am. I\'m a very fierce opponent of early bird programs. I think they\'re a waste of time and money. Your average half-motivated Thai employee is in no fit state to study a language at such an ungodly hour. Then again - who is? Early bird classes are also a language provider\'s nightmare. You have to schedule a teacher to actually be in the training room for 7.30, bright and alert, and all the teacher gets out of it is an hours pay. And just pray that it\'s a teacher who doesn\'t have a fondness for the sauce.</p>\n<p>The saddest companies of all are those who have given up totally on both the 3T after-hours programs AND the early bird courses, choosing instead to give their employees a fixed amount of money (usually in the region of 10,000 baht) and instructing them to go out and study at a language school of their choice. It\'s these companies that make me want to give it all up. It\'s almost as if they have washed their hands of English language training (which in effect they have) and are doling out &lsquo;study money\' as purely a token gesture. Thai training managers have said to me \"well, it\'s better than nothing\" To which I usually reply, \"no, it\'s the same as nothing\"</p>\n<p>Laughably, the employees participating in this kind of scheme are often asked to select a school from a &lsquo;recommended\' list. I am yet to meet one single training manager who can tell me how a certain school has received the recommendation or even who has recommended it. How is it possible to gather and centralize feedback and progress reports when you have employees studying at dozens of different schools? As I said - the scheme isn\'t better than nothing. It\'s the same as nothing. I\'m quite certain that &lsquo;a list of recommended schools\' is a dozen names randomly chosen from a phone-book anyway.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, in-company 3T courses can be very successful. I\'ve taught some wonderful groups of students down the years at a time of day when they\'d much rather be going home, but there are many hurdles to overcome. I call it the corporate teaching &lsquo;jigsaw\'. A successful 3T course has several elements (or jigsaw pieces) that come together to make the language learning experience an enjoyable one for both teacher and students. Class attendance needs to be as close to 100% as possible. The teacher needs to be an &lsquo;edutainer\' (a buzzword I hate but always find myself using). The material being presented needs to be fresh and relevant. The learning environment (the classroom) needs to be the right size. It needs to have the basics of a whiteboard and board-markers. You\'d be amazed if I told you the number of times I\'ve walked around company floors looking for board-markers that actually work. The room should also be comfortable (not too hot and not too cold) I once worked at a company where the centralized air-conditioning went off at 6pm and for the last hour of the lesson, the sweat poured of us. A couple of students almost passed out on one occasion. Why don\'t companies think about these things before they sign on the dotted line? The point I\'m trying to make is that a successful corporate training program is made up of &lsquo;jigsaw pieces\'. All too often, some of those pieces are missing.</p>\n<p>A step up from the 3T program is what I call &lsquo;the specialized skills courses\'. These seem to be gaining in popularity as multi-national companies decide to concentrate on improving the English ability of their higher-level employees and forgetting about those at junior management level. The most common specialized courses are presentation skills, meeting skills, negotiation skills and telephone skills. The content of the courses is pretty obvious but yet again I can\'t help but feel what an enormous waste of time they are. Take meeting skills for instance. Part of the program would probably involve the teaching of &lsquo;interjection phrases\' such as \"I\'m sorry but can I just butt in a moment?\" or maybe \"Sorry Tom, but I totally disagree with that opinion\" In a European or American meeting room? -every time. In a Thai meeting room where you have the concepts of social status and &lsquo;kreengjai\' going full blast? - never in a million years.</p>\n<p>The strange thing about specialized skills courses is that in a perfect world, you should always have an instructor who is experienced in delivering that kind of program. The modus operandi for the vast majority of language providers in Bangkok is to buy a book titled &lsquo;Presentations made Easy\' from the bookshop and put it in the hands of the first teacher available to do the course. Is it any wonder that the clients themselves complain? But when you have schools paying the same teacher rates for this kind of course as they do for all the others, then what can you do? The number of language providers who continue to consider the specialized skills program a program that any teacher can teach constantly baffles me.</p>\n<p>There is an increasing demand for &lsquo;management skills programs\' - teambuilding, decision-making, delegation skills, etc. - really high-end stuff that in my opinion one Bangkok teacher in a thousand can actually deliver. I\'m happy to say that your average back-street language school keeps away from this kind of program, but there are still a few willing to humiliate themselves and make a complete pig\'s ear of it.<br />Going back to my conversations with that now retired king of the Bangkok consultants, he told me \"many companies in Bangkok have given up on using local language providers to implement management programs. I could name at least five companies that have gone as far as flying an instructor in from the USA and putting them up in a five-star hotel. The cost is phenomenal but if it is company policy to provide these programs to their employees globally then the cost is immaterial\"</p>\n<p>I\'m going to ruffle a few feathers here but I lay the blame for this corporate training &lsquo;crisis\' at the doors of two separate groups - the low end language providers and the Thai HR/training managers themselves. I do NOT blame the teachers.</p>\n<p>I can\'t think of another way to put it but many Thai training managers are appallingly clueless when it comes to language training. Perhaps we shouldn\'t expect them to be an authority on it though. Perhaps we should be saying \"put your English language training in the hands of the provider\" But it doesn\'t work like that. Because of past experience, the average company has lost all trust in the language provider and lost all confidence in the provider\'s capability. They\'ve been bitten too many times. That doesn\'t stop the average training manager asking the same questions. My two favorites are \"How many teachers do you have?\" and \"How can we guarantee that the students will progress\"</p>\n<p>\"How many teachers do you have?\" Every single training manager asks that question. What kind of answer are they hoping to hear? 20? 50? 500? I wonder to myself, is there some direct correlation between the number of teachers you have and your ability to deliver the product? Because I just can\'t see it. What about if institute A has ten teachers and all of them have full-time schedules and enjoy coming to work. What about if institute B has 150 teachers, and there isn\'t enough work to go around and the teacher\'s room is a breeding ground for disillusionment and contempt. Wouldn\'t you rather choose institute B? No, size really does matter to your average training manager.</p>\n<p>\"How can I guarantee that students will make progress?\" It\'s always a difficult question to answer because the company never wants to hear the correct answer - &lsquo;we guarantee that the teacher will play their part but there is a responsibility to the students to attend class, do homework. Participate in the lesson, etc, etc\' Oh my god - the dreaded word - responsibility.</p>\n<p>I actually once said to a training manager, \"Your employees study for three months a year whenever you get the training budget and then for the other nine months of the year they expose themselves to little or no English whatsoever. And you\'re asking me why they never show any improvement\" That\'s always been one of my problems - I\'m too honest.</p>\n<p>I wonder how the low-end language providers answer the two difficult questions above. By low-end I\'m referring to those who sell their souls to the devil in order to win contracts (the price is probably around 700 baht an hour). They lie. There can be no other way. Yes Mr Training Manager - we have over 50 teachers and we guarantee your students will progress. I\'m not going to name names (although I certainly could) but these low-end providers have ruined / are ruining the corporate training business. They don\'t care about their client. They\'re just in it for the money. I\'ve seen their pre-testing analysis, their progress reports, their textbooks, their final exams, the whole service they deliver to their clients. There aren\'t words to describe how I feel about it.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to end by flying the flag here for the good old Bangkok teacher. They put up with a lot. Oh sure there are plenty of unprofessional drunks out there with no affinity for their job but by and large many of the complaints about Bangkok corporate teachers are made by low-end language providers and clueless multi-nationals looking for a convenient scapegoat.</p>\n<p>Let me divulge a recent email I had from a very nice Thai lady asking for a bit of advice. She had set up a language school and like a lot of other misguided souls, had decided to attack the corporate market. She did the marketing and got a few contracts. Then came the hard part - recruiting and keeping teachers. To cut a long story short, she\'s having all kinds of problems finding a teacher to do three hours on a Saturday morning at 400 baht an hour. Teachers have quit on her, dropping students in the lurch and making the client lose face. My explanation and advice are both simple - it\'s the nature of the beast.</p>\n<p>The teacher has to make a commitment to teach three hours on a Saturday morning to earn 1200 baht. So for a start, Friday night out is cancelled. Then, there is let\'s say an hour of unpaid preparation time involved. We\'re also approaching the rainy season. Perhaps a sudden downpour results in the teacher needing to take a taxi to the company (no transportation money was provided with the contract) With the cost of maybe a little breakfast en route and the bus fare home, the teacher is left with barely a thousand baht in his pocket for giving up half of Saturday. Do I need to go any further?</p>\n<p>There is really no such thing as a full-time corporate teacher. It\'s the icing on the cake, an extra bit of pocket money. Corporate teaching supplements your day job. When you key in the fact that teachers need to prepare student reports (often two per course), make up exams, travel from one side of the city to the other and arrive looking like a drowned rat, is it surprising that corporate teachers are difficult to find and even the 500 baht an hour benchmark figure is beginning to look like simply not enough.</p>\n<p>So what about the future for corporate language training and more so the providers themselves? The decline in companies offering language training to their staff is surely set to continue. As for the providers - those who are fooling everyone into thinking they are a professional outfit, should frankly get out now and find something else to do. They are ruining it for the legitimate institutes who do care about their clients and who do a half decent job. As you may guess, I feel passionately about this topic. I\'ve taught hundreds of hours of corporate lessons, and the fact that many of my students (some of them from eight years ago) still keep in touch, fills me with some sense of pride. But I can\'t just stand back and see this aspect of English language training become ruined by those just out to make a quick buck.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/trainflipc.jpg','2006-02-18 12:42:04',1,'2006-02-18 12:42:04','2009-10-29 03:03:05'),(798,21,'How to land that job','how-to-land-that-job','Tips for getting a teaching job in Thailand.','Thinking of interviewing for teaching jobs? What\'s the best way to go about it? What are the questions to ask at an interview and what kind of answers should you be looking for?','<p><strong>Applying</strong><br />There was a time when the first place job seekers looked for teaching positions were the two Bangkok daily newspapers - the Bangkok Post and The Nation. However with high&nbsp;advertising rates for a&nbsp;position buried somewhere in the inside columns, most schools and institutes are exploring cheaper&nbsp;on-line alternatives to fill their recruitment needs. For schools that have a high turnover of staff, advertising in the daily newspapers&nbsp;can be a very expensive game.\n<p>You stand an infinitely better chance of landing a job if you are already in Thailand. Most schools can\'t be bothered with the person who &lsquo;arrives in three months\' or may sound like the answer to a school\'s prayers but isn\'t immediately&nbsp;available for an interview. When a school advertises a position, they invariably need the teacher to start as soon as possible.</p>\n<p>The best way to apply for a job is by telephone. Find the number of the school, call up and asked to be passed to an academic director or head teacher. Most teachers these days seem to be going the e-mail route, but take it from me, it is extremely hit and miss. Very often, the job of handling e-mail applications will be in the hands of Thai administration staff who may not be God\'s gift to Microsoft Outlook, or probably don\'t feel confident replying to an e-mail using English.</p>\n<p>If you are going to apply for a job by e-mail, then spare a thought for the&nbsp;employer\'s e-mail account. Nothing annoys a recruiter more than getting an e-mail with 10MB of attachments that take ten minutes to download. If someone sends me an e-mail that size, I won\'t even wait for it to arrive in my MS Outlook. I will go straight to my e-mail account and delete it at source.</p>\n<p>Unless the employer / recruiter specifically asks for them, just send your resume and photo. Save the copy of your degree, your medical certificate, your passport and the 2MB&nbsp;photos of your graduation ceremony&nbsp;and you standing in front of&nbsp;a temple in Khorat for either the interview or for&nbsp;another time. Don\'t send&nbsp;all that paraphenalia&nbsp;with&nbsp;a \'first&nbsp;contact\'&nbsp;e-mail unless you are asked&nbsp;for them in the job description.</p>\n<p>Might cold-calling be a good way to apply for a teaching position? There are many teachers who luck out by just walking into a school and asking if there are any vacancies. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as the old saying goes.</p>\n<p><strong>Interview Dress Sense <br /></strong>There is some controversy raging about this one, because there are professional teachers out there who say a person should be judged on their qualifications and experience, and not the quality of their necktie. It seems to be Americans especially who adopt this more casual approach to interviews. Don\'t believe a word of it! An interview calls for a man with a shirt and tie and whatever women wear when they want to look nice. Thais DO judge a person on first appearance, and a lot of foreign academic directors do too. You may have an MBA in Linguistics and twenty years experience at the Harvard Business School but a casual approach to an interview endears you to no one.</p>\n<p><strong>Resumes </strong><br />Schools often get inundated with resumes. Make yours stand out by keeping it to one or two pages. Schools are only interested in what you\'ve done that\'s relevant to teaching. Building dry-stone walls in the&nbsp;countryside during a force ten gale might well have been character building, but it needs to be cut out of a resume. Obviously contact details, and educational background are important, but most schools are looking for teaching experience and whether or not you plan to stick around.</p>\n<p><strong>How much is the salary?</strong> <br />Don\'t go into a job interview with unrealistic expectations. I&nbsp;once interviewed a woman from New York who was interested in a teaching/marketing position. Throughout the interview she kept using the sentence \"But in New York, this job would be worth......\" So what? This is Thailand, and 42,000 baht with weekends off&nbsp;was as good if not better than what anybody else&nbsp;was offering at that time. If you come here to save a few shekels and perhaps pay off debts, you could be in for a short, sharp shock. Thailand is not a place for teachers to make lots of money. That said - you need a salary that enables you to survive.</p>\n<p><strong>Advance preparation</strong> <br />Find out as much as you can on the phone beforehand because you might save yourself a wasted journey. Does the school provide a work permit? Is there a contract? Is it a twelve-month contract? I put this point in because the 10-month and 11-month contract is becoming more and more common. Many of the government Rajabhat colleges for example,&nbsp;do not pay a teacher for the month of April (traditional holiday time) If this is the case, are you going to earn enough in the other eleven months to see you through the fallow period? Or alternatively, will your employer be able to find you stuff like summer camp work when the students are all&nbsp;on term break.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If you work at a private language school, are you going to be paid hourly or by salary? If it\'s the former scenario, how many hours a week are you going to be guaranteed? April, December and January often see a dramatic decline in the number of students studying at private language schools. Am I expected to work weekends? If so, do I get two days off during the week and&nbsp;are weekend hours&nbsp;paid at a premium rate?</p>\n<p><strong>The interview itself</strong> <br />Remember that interviews are a two-way thing. They might want you, but do you want them? Ask for a guided tour of the school and pay special attention to the teacher\'s room. If the teachers you meet all&nbsp;greet you like a long-lost friend and shake you warmly by the hand, then that\'s a good sign. If they are all stuck in their little alcoves and recesses and look at you with that sort of disdain reserved for someone who\'s muscling in on their territory, ask yourself a question - do you honestly want to work in a place like that? Getting along well&nbsp;with your teaching colleagues is so important.</p>\n<p><strong>Tricky interview questions</strong> <br />How long do you intend to stay in Thailand? You\'d better be up for at least a year. Where are you staying now? Say Khao San Road or Banglampoo and you may as well rip up the application form there and then. How would you explain the difference between a separable and inseparable phrasal verb? Don\'t know? Then you\'d better find out. Actually, it\'s rare to be given a grammar test, but never say never. I\'ve been to interviews where they\'ve asked me to stand up at the whiteboard and demonstrate how I\'d explain the present perfect continuous to a group of lazy teenagers. And why not? As an English teacher, it should be meat and drink.</p>\n<p><strong>Checklist (provided by Steven)</strong></p>\n<p>Here are the most crucial bits of information to get. Any waffling or refusal to give a straight answer means unless you\'re all trussed up and ready to be jerked around like a chicken on a string, you should be outta there:</p>\n<p>1. What is the salary?</p>\n<p>2. How many months is the contract? [the correct answer is 12, including pay during school holidays].</p>\n<p>3. Do you [CAN you] sponsor me for all paperwork, including teacher\'s license, work permit, and visa extension? In the past, a \"no\" answer meant you had to evaluate your risk. These days, I\'d recommend running on a \"no</p>\n<p>4.&nbsp;How soon&nbsp;can you get this paperwork processed? The correct answer is SOON, with a promise to pay reasonable compensation for any visa trips necessary while the employer&nbsp;dawdles.</p>\n<p>5. If the job is less than 40K a month, you&nbsp;will of course pay for all these visa/WP fees,&nbsp;won\'t you?</p>\n<p>6. How many hours will I be teaching?</p>\n<p>7. What kind of insurance is on offer, considering that I am not on the 30B Thai government scheme [try to ask this one with a straight face] If there is no insurance, naturally you will be paying me more so I can purchase my own private insurance?</p>\n<p>Assuming the school passes the bare facts of life stage above, it\'s time to estimate the bullsh!t level at the school. There will always be some BS - it\'s inherent in many&nbsp;schools. Everybody has his own level of tolerance for such things, so I can\'t tell you exactly when you should cut and run but if your school gives the wrong answer to most of these kinds of questions, you might put them a bit lower on your list:</p>\n<p><strong>BS Factors:<br /></strong>1. When are the starting and ending times for work? Are these the&nbsp;real starting times, or will I be sitting around drinking coffee while the parents watch their kids doing yoga and singing the dorky school song?</p>\n<p>2. About how many events a month are teachers required to attend outside normal working hours - teachers\' meetings, parents\' meetings, school festivals, seminars, brainwashing sessions, etc</p>\n<p>3. Does the school have/provide books or is it an unwritten job description that I make/photocopy my own? Will I be getting extra pay for this work?</p>\n<p>4. How many management signatures/days distance am I from permission to make my own friggin\' copies for my students [especially if you don\'t have textbooks] Naturally, you DON\'T expect teachers to pay for the copies for their students, DO you?</p>\n<p>5. Does the school have whiteboards or chalkboards, and does the school have markers and chalk for them?</p>\n<p>6. Does the school have \"special\" rules that may seem unusual to outsiders, such as:</p>\n<p>a. Air-conditioning is not allowed during select times of the day.</p>\n<p>b. Entrances and gates are locked and monitored so that you, too, will have the feeling that you are in prison.</p>\n<p>c. All 20 people in your teachers\' room must do all their paper work on your ONE computer [without printer].</p>\n<p>d. Teachers are judged by administration on their clothing, by their students on how much of a clown they are, by the parents on how easy they are to walk all over, and by the tests on how well the students do. Despite the possibility that one or two<br />of these may get in the way of three or four of the others, failure to achieve the desired level in any may result in immediate dismissal without explanation.</p>\n<p>e. That \"one old guy\" can abuse anyone he likes and get away with it without being fired, but no one knows why.</p>\n<p>7. Are we required to attend such fine things as \"summer camps\" in the middle of our holidays in cold, mountain cabins with a bunch of snoring Thai teachers?</p>\n<p>8. Is there a discipline policy? What is it? Who will back me up on it when the inevitable snivelling loser of a child goes home crying to his mommy after I prevent him from knifing the guy in the next desk?</p>\n<p>9. Of course, all the students pass- it wasn\'t even a question- but am I allowed to engineer the&nbsp;way they pass or there some officially desired result? If so, what is it?</p>\n<p>10. Is there a curriculum or am I making that up, too? If there isn\'t one, who will tell me what I\'m supposed to be teaching?

It is a 15 hour train trip on way . So we limit the number of people we ask. If we have two people for the same job we are lucky. Two is enough because this town is not exactly on the top 10 of the most sought after places. If we get two that sound good I am happy - but sometimes we only get one. But we don\'t settle for anyone. We would rather wait than lower our standards.</p>\n<p>1, 2 or 3</p>\n<p>only 3 or 4 - those who meet all the requirements and/or have outstanding CVs. Applicants who call have a much better chance</p>\n<p>Everyone who meets our requirements is offered a chance to set up an interview appointment here at Victory Monument.</p>\n<p>We try to interview all those who fit our requirements</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis</em><br />So it would appear that approximately a quarter of applicants get called for an interview. Unless you live near Victory Monument, because then you can bank on getting one.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>What kind of e-mail responses if any, annoy you the most?</strong></p>\n<p>A lot of Filipinos especially send huge attachments that take forever to open. In many cases I have to forget them.</p>\n<p>There are really three groups that annoy us - non-native speakers who can\'t read the job ad properly, tyre-kickers who are just testing the water and have no intention of working anywhere, and finally people from overseas looking for a sponsored trip.</p>\n<p>None annoy us, though we would like non-native speakers to take note of our ad when it clearly states something like \'native speakers only need apply for this position\'. Similarly, we would like unqualified applicants to take note when we state something like \'applicants must hold at least a TEFL certificate from a recognized school or college\'</p>\n<p>What annoys me the most? The number of people who can\'t write a resume. It is unbelievable some of the rubbish I get.</p>\n<p>Those that ignore the specified criteria/apply for every job regardless.</p>\n<p>Any from people who don\'t meet the requirements listed in the ad, and ones that have a long list of demanding questions without giving any details about the potential applicant.</p>\n<p>Large wordy emails with excessive attachments.</p>\n<p>So much spam comes our way...sometimes over 150 e-mails per day but that is not the fault of ajarn.com</p>\n<p>Nothing really annoys me.</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis</em><br />So basically it\'s those teachers who can\'t read a job ad properly that piss off employers the most. Oh and those that send big attachments and those who can\'t write a resume to save their lives. Is there anybody out there?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Have you noticed any changes in interviewee attitudes over the past few years?<br /></strong><br />Not really.</p>\n<p>People are demanding better conditions and more money these days.</p>\n<p>Standards of applicants remain mixed, Thailand will always attract a diversity of types of teacher; subsequently, attitudes remain equally mixed. Most applicants choose to apply for a teaching position in Thailand because, a. they feel it will be laid back here, and they will not need to work hard (not completely correct of course) b. due to qualification issues, they are limited as to which countries they can apply to for salaried teaching positions c. they feel it would culturally a very interesting experience and a year or two well spent.</p>\n<p>I think people are asking more questions about work loads and pay.</p>\n<p>Haven\'t been interviewing that long!</p>\n<p>Teachers are becoming more qualified but less professional. They have the required credentials, but have a lack of drive to do anything with it.</p>\n<p>Being increasingly a buyers market...the applicants are shopping around and having more interviews to select their choice of employment.</p>\n<p>Foreigners are more responsible about their behavior ,clothes,and other cultural things</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis<br /></em>Teachers are evaluating financial re-numeration against the number of duties they will need to perform. In other words, looking after themselves and generally being greedy. Perhaps we didn\'t need the computer after all. Oh, the last response came from a Thai recruiter who probably just shied away from saying anything negative.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>How do teachers let themselves down at interviews?</strong></p>\n<p>They come with no teaching qualification and give very vague reasons as to why they\'ve only worked at many schools for such a short time.</p>\n<p>Ton of reasons - where do I start? - poor personal hygiene (some teachers actually stink), bad attitude towards Thai people (they\'ll upset the receptionist even before they get to the interview room), asking for more money (often rudely) - how do those four grab you?</p>\n<p>Variety of ways, though it is either appearance or attitude related. We need teachers who have an interest in their work and performance, rather than a single and strong interest in trying to receive a high reward package for the least effort on their part. The better applicants are always well prepared, and have a professional interest in the requirements of the teaching position.</p>\n<p>It is important to present yourself well at an interview. We are not looking for someone who can talk for a half hour on the latest educational theories ( I don\'t know them ) but we are looking for a warm intelligent body that will do his / her fair share , care about his job, care about the students and get on with everyone.</p>\n<p>Eye contact is important. Look at the people you are talking to. Be honest and sincere. After a while you get a feel for people who will do the job and those who will not be able to cope.</p>\n<p>lack of attention to dress/over-sell themselves/set their own conditions</p>\n<p>By not being prepared to demonstrate their knowledge/ability</p>\n<p>Demanding teachers that are not flexible and patient will not turn out to be good employees This is often sensed at an interview..</p>\n<p>We still get applicants who come in inappropriate dress, without resumes etc.</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis<br /></em>I think the general consensus is that teachers stink. Some of them probably have body odour that you can almost get your Sunday dinner out of. Hey c\'mon guys, we know it\'s hot out there and no one expects you to float into the interview room smelling like a tart\'s vanity case, but there\'s a branch of Boots the chemist on every street corner. Perhaps a little squib under each armpit would not go amiss - pssst pssst.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Would you describe your demand for teachers as high, medium, or low</strong><br /><br />Usually, a few years ago, our demand for teachers was low. Unfortunately, this academic year 2005, our situation changed to high due to our expansion and we have more competitors in the market.</p>\n<p>It\'s usually high I\'m afraid.</p>\n<p>We always feel it is high, as we employ approx 45 overseas teachers at any one time. It is a comparative measurement, though; other schools employ more staff than us, and others less.</p>\n<p>Medium. You are left to do your job and no one will interfere if you do that... A lot of emphasis is placed on student evaluation at the end of each semester and if the students are happy, they are happy. (Not a completely sound educational evaluation - but at least you know what you have to do)</p>\n<p>medium/high (expanding enrollment)</p>\n<p>Low, but increasing with our growth.</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis</em><br />This was a crap question.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Are you seeing any increase in the number of female applicants or is it still a male-dominated profession?</strong></p>\n<p>Not really. It is still a very male-dominated profession.</p>\n<p>We are definitely seeing more females.</p>\n<p>If we truly require female teachers, we can recruit them. Recruiting from within Thailand does produce more male applicants, and by a large margin. Specifically-targeted recruiting from outside of Thailand produces many female applicants.</p>\n<p>No the number of females is not increasing - not down here - I will take all the good female teachers I can get. (The female students and staff love them),</p>\n<p>hopefully...but definitely a minority</p>\n<p>About 25% of the applicants are of the gentler sex</p>\n<p>Still a male dominated situation...more of the older, retired males from America...fleeing George Bush. The women we do interview quickly find jobs for a lot more money.</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis<br /></em>It\'s still a profession for the laaaaaaads. Whaaaa-haaaay. Who wants to work with a bird anyway? - losing the teachers-room scissors and trying to turn everyone into a vegetarian. Like they do.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Is it becoming harder or easier to recruit good quality teachers? If so, why do you think that is?</strong></p>\n<p>Harder because we need more professional teacher (BA of Education) but they always work at International School that can afford the high salary. On the other hand, they have to work harder than Bilingual or Goverment school.</p>\n<p>It\'s much harder these days. We\'re an agency and teachers tend to view agencies with a great deal of suspicion (ajarn.com hasn\'t helped our cause in that respect).</p>\n<p>It hasn\'t changed really, we do mostly get good teachers if we run our application process effectively.</p>\n<p>It is getting harder to get good teachers or any teacher. Here in Nakhon Si Thammarat it seems every school needs a native English speaker and every school does not have enough. The high schools are offering 30,000 for the first year and more for the next. We only offer 26.110. We are fighting a losing battle.</p>\n<p>limited experience - doesn\'t seem so bad</p>\n<p>Harder. The demand is still too high. Teachers are like sports athletes. \"Show me the money\". I believe our school pays above average, has an above average teaching environment and a nice packet of benefits, but it seems impossible to get and to keep quality teachers.</p>\n<p>We lost some good teachers whose parents would not let them come to Thailand because of SARS. Some teachers have left because of the bar hours being closed early (not Khao San Road backpackers either). I have had teachers prefer Japan and Korea over Thailand because of the higher salaries (and not consider the higher cost of living). I have had three good teachers opt not to work in Thailand because they would not use phony college degrees or certifications to get the Ministry of Education\'s teachers license as requested by other schools.</p>\n</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis</em><br />It\'s getting tougher and tougher for schools to recruit teachers. Of that there is no doubt at all. Hang on....is that a tear in the corner of my eye? No, it must be a small insect.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Do you shy away from personal callers and feel that e-mail applications are the best for you?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes, definitely.</p>\n<p>We\'ll interview walk-ins if one of the senior staff is around.</p>\n<p>Personal callers are welcome, but it must be by prior appointment. We usually instruct those who were initially personal callers to email their resumes to us after visiting our school, and include a cover letter mentioning that visit.</p>\n<p>No I welcome phone calls. You can quickly sort the sheep from the goats by talking to someone, even on the phone. But I still want to see resumes via the internet before I arrange interviews.</p>\n<p>emails are better to make a shortlist</p>\n<p>No - I prefer personal callers, and ask them to forward a CV/photo by e-mail after arranging an interview. Checking e-mails is time-consuming, especially when you\'ve advertised for native speakers only and have to wade through dozens of non-native applications. I can see the benefits of e-mail applications, but they don\'t suit a small language school like us.</p>\n<p>It is easier and more efficient to determine suitability by perusing the information they have provided, ie cover letter and resume than it is to determine that in conversation over the phone.</p>\n<p>If we are in the office we are pleased to interview walk ins. It gives us a chance to thank the Filipino\'s for coming but explaining that we have nothing to offer them.</p>\n<p><em>Expert Analysis<br /></em>Applying by e-mail is definitely preferable to just turning up with your body odour. If you do darken a school\'s doorstep without prior appointment then you\'d better be either the greatest teacher in the world or there to fix the air-conditioning.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/piechart.jpg','2007-08-05 12:17:50',1,'2007-08-05 12:17:50','2009-10-29 04:04:51'),(800,21,'The negative interview mindset','the-negative-interview-mindset','Is it sometimes too easy to get a teaching job in Thailand?','A growing number of foreign teachers (particularly male) think that it\'s so easy to get an English teaching job in Thailand that all you have to do on interview day is turn up. Ajarn.com looks at a common mindset behind interviewing for TEFL jobs','<p>Very recently a university in the Siam Square area of Bangkok advertised a vacant teaching position. Now listen to this for a package. The university offered a 70,000 baht salary for starters, usually going up in 10,000 baht increments for every year of service. On top of that came three months paid holiday, an extensive health insurance package, and unlimited internet usage. And if that were not enough you got subsidized meals in the uni canteen and every classroom came with air-conditioning. There may have been assistance with accommodation as well but for someone with a B.A and a TEFL certificate (and that\'s all the university required) it was a package to die for.\n<p>I was fortunate to find out from the foreign hirer and interviewer himself exactly how the interviewing went. As one would expect, the applications arrived by the sack-load, but once he\'d weeded out the degree-less, the people who liked Bangkok because they\'d once enjoyed a two-day stopover en route to Melbourne, and those growing number of applicants who feel the need to write to every single email address they can find, he was left with a shortlist of ten potential candidates.</p>\n<p>Cometh the day, cometh the hour, and the interview panel (one farang and three Thais) is sat behind a polished wooden table with fresh notepads and sharpened pencils. The clock strikes nine and it\'s time for the ten applicants to file into the room one by one and toot their horns. Except there\'s no-one there. Well, actually there\'s one. And to do himself justice he\'s arrived with his rent-a-night girlfriend tutting and frowning because she\'s not used to being dragged out of bed at such an ungodly hour. Worse still, she\'s been ordered to wait in the reception area outside. She obviously considers this the ultimate liberty. I mean who wants to leaf through dog-eared car magazines when there are gold shops to be plundered? However, all is not lost. The dividing wall between the interview room and the reception is sheer plate-glass, so the candidate can pause between answers and give playful little waves to his fidgety companion and mouth that re-assuring \"just another five more minutes\" in her direction. It\'s not known however if at any stage he actually blew kisses.</p>\n<p>As the farang interviewer cheekily admitted to me - \"when it comes to interviewing for jobs, never go with your ho in tow\"</p>\n<p>As the first interview wore on and &lsquo;sexy hotpants\' became more and more antsy, phone calls started to come in from several of the other nine job applicants.</p>\n<p>\"Where did you say the university was?\"</p>\n<p>\"My taxi driver didn\'t know it and I\'m currently in Muang Thong Thani - 27 kilometres away\"</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t think I\'m going to be able to make it\"</p>\n<p>\"After careful consideration, I\'ve decided not to take the job\"</p>\n<p>And those excuses came from the four people that could be bothered to call. Five of the ten couldn\'t be arsed to show up at all. No phone call. Nothing.</p>\n<p>The second applicant arrived over an hour late. Dressed from head to toe in black and with more facial hair than Robinson Crusoe, he made fairly steady progress through the first twenty minutes of quick-fire questions and answers, and despite his rather off-putting appearance, the Thai staff began to warm to him and you might be forgiven for thinking that they had finally found their man. Then it all went horribly wrong. It went tits up in quite spectacular fashion. Someone on the interview panel said something about Thai students needing to be a little more active in the classroom and Robinson Crusoe felt that this was a slight on his unquestionably perfect teaching ability. He got out of his chair, rose to his full height and started banging a hairy fist on the table. \"The sooner Thai students realize how lazy they are, the better off we\'ll all be\" he bellowed.</p>\n<p>The foreign interviewer can\'t remember what else was said because he was too busy assuring his Thai colleagues that they weren\'t about to be murdered. \"I\'ll never forget the look on their faces\" he told me \"It was a look of sheer terror\"</p>\n<p>What is it with this interviewing mindset that many foreigners (particularly male) seem to have here? As something of a social observer, oh man I\'m intrigued. This behavior has been going on for years. It doesn\'t matter a jot whether salaries have gone up or down, or the availability of jobs has increased or decreased. There has never been any feasible correlation between a damn good job opening and the steady flow of nutcases who apply for it.</p>\n<p>Now call me old-fashioned but I\'m one of those people who always prepares for an interview like a military campaign. And I know thankfully that there are many more like me. I can remember interviewing for jobs in my twenties and going through an almost ritualistic list of pre-interview &lsquo;tasks\'. Firstly I\'d have my suit dry-cleaned or at least make sure it was &lsquo;sponged and pressed\'. Then I\'d spend half an hour sitting on the front step polishing my black interview lace-ups until you could literally see your face in &lsquo;em. And here\'s the best bit - I\'d sometimes do a trial run care of Birmingham public transportation just to make sure that on the day I\'d arrive in good time for the appointment. Now how\'s that for planning!</p>\n<p>You just don\'t get that kind of dedication to duty here do you? Ok we don\'t wear suits and we don\'t have front steps to polish our boots on but we can at least make sure that our journey preparation is a bit more carefully thought out than asking the apartment receptionist how long it takes to get to Din Daeng and then hoping for the best.</p>\n<p>I asked the foreign university interviewer why this blas&eacute; attitude exists among so many and he felt that it\'s because there is simply always an escape route where Thailand TEFL jobs are concerned. Contracts don\'t mean anything here; handshakes don\'t amount to much either. If you don\'t like a job you just move on - leaving the employer screaming hollow threats of deportation and concrete boots behind you. Teachers know they can clear out their teacher\'s room locker and ride off into the sunset whenever they want. So in reality, job applicants are doing the interviewer a massive favor by just turning up for the interview. If they arrive on time then the school should consider that a bonus.</p>\n<p>I\'ve done my fair share of interviewing for teachers in the past. I won\'t mention names but here are a few of my own personal favorite stories.</p>\n<p>I remember a Canadian guy I interviewed at a time when the school I worked for was simply desperate for teachers (sound familiar?). It wasn\'t a case of taking on the first western face through the door but it was pretty damn close. I took this Canadian guy to a small classroom where we could chat in private and we went through the preliminary getting to know you stuff. It became obvious very early on that this teacher was in it &lsquo;purely for the money\'. I\'ve got nothing against that per se provided that a) you still do a decent job in the classroom, and b) you don\'t make it blatantly obvious during an interview. After a while, I told him to have a quick look through some of the text-books the school used and to familiarize himself with what he\'d be teaching. I put a small pile of books in front of him and disappeared for a coffee. When I returned five minutes later, he\'d pushed the text-books to one side and taken a thick Wilbur Smith novel out of his back-pack to read. What do you say in situations like that? Believe it or not I employed him. I was desperate. And he turned out to be the worst teacher I\'ve ever worked with for more reasons than I care to go into. It was only after he threatened to throw a student out of a third-floor window that we finally fired him, but his employment period had been nothing short of a nightmare from day one.</p>\n<p>I remember an American female teacher telling me what the equivalent salary in New York would be when I offered her a 40,000 baht a month position in Bangkok and that no one in the Big Apple would ever consider working for such a pitiful wage. And she honestly thought I gave a fuck.</p>\n<p>I had a teacher arrive once with no resume, no degree, no TEFL certificate - just the shoes he stood up in. When I asked where his documentation was, he replied \"I didn\'t think it was going to be that kind of interview\" The question of how many kinds of interview there are still baffles me to this day.</p>\n<p>Any head teacher or AD who has interviewed teachers has a story of the guy whose expectations are so wildly out of touch with reality that you wonder whether they just went to the airport and played lucky dip with the departures board. I interviewed such a guy in the mid-1990s and I still see him around from time to time. He\'d just flown in from Hong Kong where apparently he\'d enjoyed several successful years as a high-profile stockbroker. When I offered him the standard 250 baht an hour I could see by the expression on his face that it wasn\'t quite what he expected despite him having no teaching experience whatsoever. After concerted efforts on his part to try and nudge me towards a more realistic 800 baht an hour, he conceded that Thailand was all about making contacts, so he would take the job (at 250 an hour) and see if he could &lsquo;connect\' with any of his new students. He started on the Saturday and quit on the Monday. The fact that none of his eight teenage students in his first-day class had ever been out of the country had frankly come as a great disappointment to him.</p>\n<p>But my favorite interview anecdote concerns the middle-aged man who turned up for our afternoon appointment laden down with three huge Tesco\'s carrier bags.</p>\n<p>\"I thought I\'d get a bit of shopping in for the wife and kill two birds with one stone\" he cheerily announced.</p>\n<p>He plonked the shopping bags on the table (not on the floor as most normal people would do) and whipped out a dog-eared, coffee-stained resume. I forget at which point during my perusal of his resume it happened, but one of the bags suddenly collapsed under its own weight. We both watched as a succession of foodstuffs made their way across the table before dropping and bouncing on the concrete floor - an iceberg lettuce, a Spanish onion, two large baking potatoes, and one of those purple egg-plant things. It was like the conveyor belt on Bruce Forsyth\'s Generation Game. If you\'ve never spent the first two minutes of an interview searching the room for wayward vegetables, well you haven\'t lived.</p>\n<p>I can never understand the arguments that sometimes pop up on discussion forums regarding whether one should wear a necktie or not to an interview. How ridiculous can you get? Of course you wear a necktie - it\'s an interview for fuck\'s sake. Had there been an eleventh commandment, it would have been &lsquo;and thou shalt always wear thy necktie at an interview\'</p>\n<p>What are we going to be debating next? Whether or not to give the receptionist a playful slap on the arse as she bends over the intercom?</p>\n<p>\"Ooooooh you can go through now...........cheeky\"</p>\n<p>As I always say to inexperienced interviewers, how do you know that come the first day of class the teacher even possesses a necktie to wear if you didn\'t catch sight of one at the interview. Joking apart, it shows a remarkable ignorance of Thai culture to turn up without a tie - in a country where &lsquo;packaging\' is so important and first appearances count for everything.</p>\n<p>Suits never do it for me either. Yes, they do show that a person has made an effort with his appearance but you can go too far the other way in my opinion. I\'m yet to meet a teacher who can arrive at an interview suited and booted and looking like part of the Versace Spring collection. Suits mean sweaty foreheads and clammy handshakes. Shaking hands and having it feel like you\'re trying to grab a rainbow trout is no way to begin a relationship.</p>\n<p>Interviewing for jobs? Then shape up or ship out. Polish those shoes, buy a decent tie, ditch the chewing gum, and get there on time. It all sounds like common sense to me</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/negmindset.jpg','2005-10-11 13:15:45',1,'2005-10-11 13:15:45','2009-10-29 05:05:46'),(801,21,'Where are all the teachers?','where-are-all-the-teachers','Is there a severe shortage of warm TEFL bodies?','Is there really a chronic teacher shortage in Thailand?

The moment the teacher has made enough money to buy a plane ticket out of here, they\'re gone! If you\'re very lucky, you might get a phone call, but to have a dozen kiddies one morning all wondering where their teacher is can be a sad way for it all to end. As a school owner I know the way things are, but it can be very difficult to explain it to parents who just want the best for their children. Bangkok is a terrific place for the \'unqualified teacher\' looking to replenish the coffers. Terrific in the sense that it has very low set-up costs (apartments, guest houses and transport are all very cheap). You couldn\'t do the same thing in Korea or Japan could you?\"\n<p><strong>Bangkok School specializing in corporate work</strong><br />\"This is one of the most difficult areas of teaching work to be involved in as regards teacher recruitment, because it\'s purely part-time work. It\'s that little extra money on top of a teacher\'s regular salary and as a result many teachers don\'t approach corporate work with any degree of professionalism. To be honest, we don\'t care much about degrees or experience or teacher training certificates. It would be nice if a teacher had those things, but at the end of the day we\'re happy for the teacher just to turn up for class. Teachers will turn up late or they\'ll give lame excuses for not turning up at all. If a client complains once, you can usually smooth things out, but the second complaint often means you\'ve lost the contract. <br />I wish that teachers would think a bit more carefully before they take on a corporate job. If you live in downtown Bangkok, it\'s no good accepting a job out in Rangsit and then bitching about the exhausting journey barely two weeks into the course.

They\'ve spent so long trawling around the Bangkok \'sweat-shops\' that they\'ve developed a blas&eacute; attitude to TEFL and it\'s frankly unhealthy to have that kind of person in your teachers room\"</p>\n<p><strong>Bangkok Private Language School<br /></strong>\"I\'ve noticed an interesting trend over the past couple of years and that\'s just how few teachers are willing to work weekends. Years ago teachers accepted that working on Saturdays and/or Sundays was part of the deal but these days you\'re lucky to find a teacher who will work on even just a Saturday. The exception will always be schools like Go Chulalongkorn who pay 700 baht an hour or so on a weekend, but those who are still around the 300 baht mark must really be struggling. Of course the increase in demand for Monday to Friday university/school teachers has meant that weekend work is not perhaps as crucial as it once was. Teachers are beginning to enjoy the idea of a whole weekend off. And really who can blame them?\"</p>\n<p><strong>Rajabhat Recruiter<br /></strong>\"I can never quite work out those teachers who listen to the salary package on offer and start furiously tapping figures into a calculator and working out the dollar or pound sterling equivalent. I\'m not advocating that Rajabhat teachers are well-paid, not for a moment, but to tell us that x amount of dollars is one step away from cardboard city is plain daft. It is cheaper to live here and if you\'re the right kind of teacher, you can easily earn upwards of 40,000 a month by taking on a few private students. The Rajabhat schedule allows plenty of free time to look for extra well-paid work.<br />As a result of ads on Ajarn.com, we get requests for return air-fares, health insurance for a wife and four kids, etc, etc. There is a wealth of information on the internet but it\'s as though teachers thinking of coming here just don\'t read it. So many potential applicants are way out of touch with reality\"</p>\n<p><strong>University in Southern Thailand<br /></strong>\"If we advertise for a qualified teacher (degree in education, experience, etc) we get one worthwhile application. If you couple that with 25,000 baht a month (our hands are tied regarding teacher salaries) we get no-one. It\'s really as simple as that.</p>\n<p><strong>A teacher recruiter with years of experience in Thailand <br /></strong>\"In my opinion a lot of the \'sanuk\' has gone out of living in Bangkok. It\'s become just another modern, everyday capital city that can suck money out of you left, right and center if you\'re not the sort who looks after their finances. I\'m never surprised by any teacher running into financial difficulties. You have a system of red-tape (work permits, teachers licenses, etc) that\'s getting more and more confusing, and fuelled by over-active rumors. There\'s also the on-off predictability of visas and border clearance. And lets face it - these are globally very uncertain times. You may laugh at this but I think the 2am curfew for entertainment zones also has an effect. Bangkok was the ultimate party city where at least you could kick back after a week\'s work and drink yourself stupid until six in the morning. Now even that option is not there anymore.

Those that do bother to make the journey out to see us, either have an attitude problem, an alarming set of demands, or both. <br />The information available on the internet has been an absolute good but there is also a lot of misleading information out there, and teachers come to us with expectations that are quite frankly unreasonable.

Teaching positions are not abundant in Chiang Mai nor are the salaries particularly high, but it does offer a decent quality of life.

It\'s very much a tale of two cities - and how one dedicated teacher fared in both.','<p>Dear Ajarns and prospective Ajarns,\n<p>A couple months ago, I told Webmaster Phil that I would be willing to author a few paragraphs about my experience teaching in Thailand. He said he would appreciate that and so here they are:</p>\n<p>I moved to Thailand from America on September 25, 2001. I had come earlier in July/August to interview at several schools in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I was fifty-five at the time and was unwilling (terrified) to just quit my job of twenty years, pack up, and trust that I would be able to find work. As it turns out, doing that would have worked out fine, but I know I felt a lot more secure, while quitting my job and making the change, knowing I had a good position waiting for me here.</p>\n<p>I should mention that I have a master\'s degree in T.E.F.L. I had been working at a university in America (not teaching) and had free tuition as one of my benefits. When I decided to act out my decade-long dream to come live in Thailand, I got my master\'s first. I also taught for two semesters in America before coming here. I say this because a master\'s degree (and some experience) was required for both the jobs I have had here.</p>\n<p>Let me tell you, while I think if it, that I have not regretted coming to Thailand for even one minute. I\'m not happy every moment, but I have zero regrets about having come here. I am sure I would be full of them if I had not.</p>\n<p>Thailand is an amazing country, just like the slogan says. The people are wonderful and it\'s definitely an adventure to live here. However, I wouldn\'t say it\'s for everyone. Do your homework. An interesting site is http://www.stickmanbangkok.com/ on which there is a (150 page) section on teaching in Bangkok. A good site to visit if you want to work at a university is http://www.inter.mua.go.th/glance/index1.html which lists every university in The Kingdom and helpfully sorts them by private and public. You are on the definitive site for job hunting.</p>\n<p>I have never been interested in working at any position other than a full-time lecturer at a university. I would not be good teaching kids and I have no interest in language schools or traveling around doing corporate work. There are some tempting jobs at resorts down south teaching hotel staff. The pay is good - about 40,000 baht per month - but some properties that employ English teachers are a bit isolated. I decided to work at universities and am now working at my second.</p>\n<p>My first post was as the full-time contract advisor of Fundamental Skills in the English Department of a big government university in Chiang Mai. At the time, the school had six \"contracts\" and twenty-five part-timers. It was a fine job in most ways. The campus is very beautiful and Chiang Mai is a nice town. I\'m in BKK now, and I miss many things about CM. For instance, I had a nice studio apartment in a great building with a beautiful mountain view for 5,000 per month.</p>\n<p>The single biggest difference between the various universities in Thailand is whether or not they are government schools. Most people here would generally say that the best universities in the Kingdom are Chulalongkorn, Thammasat, and Kasetsart. All three are government schools. The problem with all pubic schools is the pay. The current remuneration for a full-time contract at government schools is 25,580 baht per month.</p>\n<p>That isn\'t much and the number hasn\'t changed in many years. Government schools (as of the last time I had inside information) are supposed to start cost-recovery next month. In my opinion, that process could get ugly. I certainly wouldn\'t be hoping for a raise this year if I were at a government school (not that you\'d ever have gotten one before).</p>\n<p>I have been in touch with a former colleague who\'s at Thammasat (Rangsit) now. He gets a lot of extra work outside his contract - seven hours a week at 1,000 per hour. That schedule comes to about 55,000 per month if the extra work is steady, which it never is. More importantly, seven hours a week, outside normal hours, is a lot of work.</p>\n<p>My contract in CM only called for teaching seven courses a year, three in one term and four in the other. That\'s only nine contact hours a week for one term and twelve hours a week for the other, and there are plenty of weeks with no classes. Don\'t get too happy - they have plenty of other work for you to do. Edit this and then proofread that. Write a test, take a meeting, and by the way - be there 9 to 4:30 weekdays. After a couple months I noticed I was working seven days a week to keep up. I mentioned this to my supervisor and was told that everyone was working evenings and weekends. The workload did get better after my complaint, but I lost political points. Don\'t imagine those are unimportant. I had been told that I would have the opportunity to teach extra classes for extra money, but I only got one extra class in a year.</p>\n<p>Supply and demand in Chiang Mai has kept the price for teachers low. My school paid the part-timers 250 baht per hour - with fifteen hours a week the maximum permitted. That\'s only 16,250 per month if you have work every week, which you never do. Good luck during the long summer vacation. Most of the part-timers had second jobs at language schools. The most convenient way to live while working at a government school is to have your own money.</p>\n<p>250 baht per hour was the standard at language schools as well. Everybody wants to work in Chiang Mai. The best job I ever heard of in CM was at the British Council for 30,000 per month, and if you\'re not English, save your time. Anyway, I couldn\'t live on 25,580, even in CM. It can be done for sure, but not living in the style I prefer. I have a car, I go out a lot, and I don\'t like to skimp. Luckily, I don\'t drink. Forget about saving anything.</p>\n<p>The facilities at the university left a lot to be desired. There were six computers for all the teachers, but that didn\'t matter much because the connection was so slow you couldn\'t really do anything on them anyway. I did all my computer work at home on a much faster connection (which was still slow).</p>\n<p>Another thing I never got used to was the lack of air-conditioning. I never had a classroom with aircon. Half my classrooms didn\'t even have a fan. Yes, Chiang Mai is a little cooler than Bangkok, but it still gets plenty hot. I started wearing white shirts because they don\'t look quite as bad when soaked in sweat. Some teachers carried their own fan around, but I couldn\'t do that.</p>\n<p>Government schools are bureaucratic. They are not open to change. Everything is done \"by the book\". The textbooks I used were grammar-based and produced by the school. Since the courses for which I was mainly responsible were taught to the whole university (sometimes forty sections), there was zero room for creativity. That\'s fine if you like that. Get your teacher\'s book and (after reconciling it to the text) find that for the first ten minutes of the lesson for Tuesday you do so-and-so. The next fifteen you do this-and-such. There were coordinators and co-coordinators for every course. There were overall coordinators, sub-overall coordinators, and test committees. And if your grammar knowledge isn\'t perfect - keep it to yourself. I\'m serious.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong - I\'m very proud and happy to have been at the school in CM. My colleagues were very nice, the students were fine, and my lifestyle was good (with a little help from savings). As I mentioned, the campus is beautiful. It was the perfect place to start, but I finished my one-year contract and moved on. Most of the best teaching jobs are in Bangkok and that\'s where I am now.</p>\n<p>Had I started in BKK, I may have been swamped by culture shock. This is a town that eats the weak. It\'s huge, the air is dirty, the traffic is as bad as its reputation and it\'s hot as hell. I pay 15,000 a month for my apartment (but it is nicer than my place in CM). You can get an apartment for a lot less, but I like a nice apartment, I live alone, and I want to be relatively close to my work. (You really don\'t want to set yourself up with a cross-town commute in Bangkok). The Big Mango is not without some considerable advantages as well. It took some getting used to, but I\'m happy here now.</p>\n<p>I have a great job now. As you might imagine, I\'m at a private university. I choose not to name it. I want to write some details and don\'t want to compromise the privacy of my administration or my colleagues.</p>\n<p>My base pay is 40,000 baht per month before taxes, which run a little under 10%. Eight periods a week of seventy minutes each are required to earn base. That\'s nine hours and twenty minutes of contact a week. You could live here in BKK on 40,000 - plenty of people make it on less. For me though, 40K here is about like 25K was in CM. The good news is that at my current school I make a lot of money besides the base salary.</p>\n<p>Permit me to remind readers of a fact I mentioned at the start of this story. I have a Master\'s of Science in Education with a major in Teaching English as a Second Language. By the time I accepted my current position, I had been teaching almost two years, the second at a good school in Thailand. Competition for jobs at the top tier schools is keen, even at the government schools. From my experience, without a master\'s, they\'re impossible to get. I take my responsibilities seriously, as do all my colleagues. I\'m twice the age of some of them, but we are all professionals. We\'re held to a high standard.</p>\n<p>I am allowed to teach up to a maximum of six extra hours a week. I rarely get that much. This summer I will have two hours a week of extra work. For the fall term, I will have five extra periods per week, the same as I had last semester. This extra work is paid at an extremely good rate - over 1,250 per hour. I made exactly 73,000 in April, my best month yet and pretty close to the best month possible. I will average a little over 60,000 per month (before taxes) year round. I don\'t feel guilty when I cash my checks.</p>\n<p>That\'s because thirteen periods a week is plenty of work. That\'s fifteen hours and ten minutes a week of contact, which is a lot, even if you have only three different courses. I teach only four days a week, so I have a day that I have to be in the office but don\'t teach. That\'s a pretty good thing. It gives me time to plan lessons. I get Sundays and Mondays off. That will change to Saturday and Sunday next semester. I shudder when I read ads on this site that offer a pittance for 25 contact hours a week, sometimes five and a half days a week. That would be too much, even if you had only one course.</p>\n<p>I signed a two-year contract last October. I get two weeks vacation per year and two paid weeklong semester breaks a year. Arranging time off for Christmas is no problem. In CM, I got the two weeks vacation but no other time off, and couldn\'t go home for Christmas because we had midterms then.</p>\n<p>My hours are actually worse now, in that I have to be at work from 8:30 to 5:00. But in six months at my current job I have done the same amount of those time-consuming extra jobs that I used to do in a week in CM. Now, I mainly teach. The rest of the time in the office I use to plan lessons and meet with students. Nobody is watching so I could actually do pretty much as I please, but it\'s OK with me to be in my office - it\'s nice.</p>\n<p>Another great thing about my current school is the facilities. I have a computer on my desk and the connection is good. I have my own (little) office. Every inch of my campus has aircon. I have a computer in every classroom, most with Internet. I have digital overhead projectors and sound systems. I do most of my lessons on PowerPoint or MSWord and use the Internet a lot.</p>\n<p>Another big difference between my two schools is the help I get with visas and work permits. Now I go with the International Affairs Liaison in a chauffeured aircon university car, smile on cue to the official (to whom I am not required to speak), and pay the fee. In CM they told us (approximately) where the Immigration, Employment, and Tax Offices were located and sometimes provided the requisite documentation. Other than that, we were on our own. It was frequently a nightmare. I couldn\'t recommend working for a school that doesn\'t give you some help with Immigration, and I personally wouldn\'t work without a permit.</p>\n<p>A huge difference between the two jobs I\'ve had is in the way the fundamental responsibilities are delegated. In Chiang Mai everything was provided and there was no room left for a single discretionary activity. By contrast, my current school gives me total freedom. I get a course description and decide everything else for myself. I select the textbook, design the curriculum, syllabus, and outline and teach (usually) all the sections of the course. Total freedom does bring total responsibility. I prefer this way.</p>\n<p>One final difference is quite important to me. I\'ll be fifty-eight this year. At government schools you may not have a full-time contract after the mandatory retirement age in Thailand, which is sixty. You may continue as full-time part-time but you may not have a contract. At private schools they are much less strict about this. Since I don\'t have much savings, can\'t take even early Social Security until I\'m sixty-two, and have no plans to go back to America to teach, this is a very good thing.</p>\n<p>That\'s about all I have to say for now. I hope my words have been some help.</p>\n<p>Ajarn A</p>\n<p>Here is a ranking of language schools in Chiang Mai that I constructed after conducting a fact-finding mission and is based on hard evidence from interviews with rivals and former teachers. I think it is fair and if anyone challenges it, I have data on class size and all of the other relevant info. Chiang Mai is vastly different from Bangkok for several reasons: 1) population size (2 million in the province, 150,00 in the city); 2) 100 baht an hour for a group class is considered expensive; 3) courses for young learners are tricky to schedule because most take extra classes (science, math, Thai, etc) on Saturdays, leaving only Sunday); and 4) most schools close at 8pm on weekdays and 5pm on weekends, with few able to offer morning or aftermoon group classes unless they are corporate ones.</p>\n<p>Ranking of Language Schools in Chiang Mai by Prestige and Academic Quality</p>\n<p>This list is based on a comprehensive survey from May to June 2003. It includes considerations such as: teacher qualifications and experience, number of proficiency levels; class size, curriculum; course management system; and school facilities (computers, language lab, etc)</p>\n<p>Level 1: British Council, Australia Centre, English First, Princeton <br />Review</p>\n<p>Level 2: London House, Direct English, AUA, King\'s College</p>\n<p>Level 3: ECC, CEC, Education Mall, Interlanguage Education <br />Centre, Prestige</p>\n<p>Level 4: NES, Teya</p>\n<p>Note: This list includes only the most well-known language schools. There are hundreds more, primarily Thai owned and managed.</p>\n<p>* AUA used to be a Level I school but its quality has slipped in recent years as testified by former teachers and students. British Council has the largest market share, with 650 young learners (70% of total enrollment). Direct English, affiliated with Pearson Education, is a new school and it\'s difficult to assess its quality because of its low enrollment. EF Chiang Mai, which officially had a soft opening on May 14th, opened 12 new courses within a month, a new record for language schools in Thailand, and especially remarkable considering that Chiang Mai\'s city population is only 150,000 and the school opened during the low season. By comparison, it has taken Inlingua and other EF branches in Bangkok over 6 weeks to open a single course. Princeton Review, though in Chiang Mai for one year, has had only 20 students; and the reason for this is simple: its prices are over three times more expensive than any other school in Chiang Mai (18,000 baht for 54 hours).</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/hilltribe.jpg','2006-10-30 08:38:35',1,'2006-10-30 08:38:35','2010-03-03 20:08:36'),(803,20,'My TEFL career','my-tefl-career','The ups and downs of over fifteen years \'in the game\'','It\'s a been a long and often painful journey, but here\'s an account of 15 years in the Thailand TEFL business. My careers officer never once told me that it might turn out like this.\n','<p>Like many others I kind of &lsquo;fell into\' English language teaching. I never ever envisaged working for &lsquo;someone else\'. All through my twenties I\'d been something of a wheeler-dealer. I had a mail order vinyl record business (which I started when I was in secondary school). I was a partner in a very successful high-class catering firm. And I still found time to help out in a friend\'s antique/second-hand business, accompanying him on house clearances all over the Midlands and doing car-boot sales, where we\'d stand ankle deep in cow-shit all day trying to shift a job lot of Japanese radios that we\'d mysteriously acquired from blokes like &lsquo;Jewish Mickey\'. In fact, training the staff at one of the world\'s leading car rental companies on how to rent cars to walk-in customers was the only &lsquo;normal\' job I ever did in the UK. It wasn\'t that I couldn\'t get a nine-to-five job; it was more that I didn\'t want one.\n<p>Slowly but surely I started to become disillusioned with modern day England. I think it was a combination of many reasons. I was always comfortable money-wise - there was always money for clothes and foreign holidays twice a year, but I was tired of living with Mom and Dad in the &lsquo;second bedroom\' and driving a succession of borderline MOT failures. I was a man desperate for change.</p>\n<p>I was in love with the idea of living in a foreign country. I can\'t explain why but I was. I remember buying a book called &lsquo;Work your way around the world\' and while the book was aimed at reckless individuals who land at foreign airports with barely ten dollars to their name, it did give me some ideas. For many a day I mulled over the ridiculous notion of becoming a coach driver in Belgium, or perhaps moving to Canada, arriving on a relative\'s doorstep and seeing what fate had in store. Europe? Canada? The USA? - I decided to move to The Far East.</p>\n<p>I narrowed down my choice to three countries - Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand. Japan and Korea have never appealed to me for some reason. Even though I had an old friend living in Hong Kong\'s Causeway Bay and I\'d splashed out six quid on the Lonely Planet guide to Taiwan, HK and Taiwan were both unknown quantities. I\'d spent three weeks in Thailand the year before so I knew what to expect. I hadn\'t explored many options but work for foreigners seemed desperately thin on the ground in Thailand. I knew though that English teachers were always in demand and whether I chose Taiwan, Hong Kong or Thailand didn\'t really matter. ELT was always something to fall back on. I did a very generously discounted full-time TEFL course thanks to the local barmy left-wing Labour council, and I got a few teaching hours under my belt at the Brasshouse Center in Birmingham, a school which caters for EFL students from mainly Spain and France. Even though I enjoyed the teaching and felt I was relatively good at it, I wasn\'t moving abroad with teaching as my primary goal. I wanted to see what other doors opened or if they were going to be continually slammed in my face.</p>\n<p>So in 1989, I arrived at Don Muang airport with Tony the Milkman. He\'d just got 15,000 quid in redundancy money from the Unigate Dairy, and I was carrying a fairly fat wallet myself. After a few days in Bangkok, we moved down to Hua Hin to extend our &lsquo;holiday period\'. We ended up staying there three months. In those days Hua Hin truly was the sleepy fishing village it still claims to be in certain guidebooks - but most definitely isn\'t. There were three hotels, six farang-friendly restaurants and your night-time entertainment consisted of three bars. You also quickly got to know the other twelve foreigners who lived there on a permanent or semi-permanent basis. Tony the Milkman ended up buying a 50% share in a guest house/restaurant and I sat on the beach with a &lsquo;Teach Yourself Mandarin\' course just in case Hong Kong came back into the equation. It didn\'t. I sat there looking out to sea, being waited on hand and foot with soft drinks and seafood, pausing to chat with a friendly local, and thought there was no way I could leave this place. I felt as if I could have stayed in Hua Hin forever. Reality kicked me up the arse the following day however and I knew that I would have to return to Bangkok if there was going to be any chance of finding work. There was nothing for me in Hua Hin. I was stagnating by the hour and it was time to move on. I hugged Tony the Milkman at Hua Hin station and caught the train back to Hualampong.<br />(Incidentally, Tony left Thailand in 1998 and went back to the UK penniless)</p>\n<h3>The Gemstone Years</h3>\n<p>I checked into a cheap guest house in the lower Sukhumwit area and the following day I went down to the Bangkok Post offices to place an ad in their &lsquo;employment wanted\' classified section. I can\'t remember the exact wording but \"Englishman 26 years old - anything considered\" might not be far off the mark. You tend to be brief when you pay by the word. <br />The ad duly appeared the following morning and the phone in my dingy guesthouse room literally rang off the wall. I got all sorts of offers from managing a hotel in Pattaya to selling timeshare to rich expats (as you\'d expect). One job offer came from an Indian gemstone company on Silom Road who were looking for a sales manager. I went down to see them the same afternoon, liked what I saw, liked what I heard, and we shook hands on a deal - 15,000 baht a month plus lunch plus commission. I threw myself into the work and learned all I could about semi-precious gemstones. Now I was a bit more settled I also moved into a cheap apartment in Sukhumwit 22.</p>\n<p>The job itself involved calling up jewelry manufacturers and trying to make an appointment with the gemstone buyer. Then came the hard work of trying to sell them a bagful of loose amethyst. Because it was a trade largely undertaken by Indians, I was something of a novelty and found it easy to get appointments. I also became well-known within the Indian community and have kept many friends to this day. As I became more of an expert on the gemstones themselves the company paid for me to go on buying trips to India and I was able to travel back to England twice to show the stones around the Birmingham jewelry quarter and the Hatton Garden area of London. The first time I went back, I arrived unannounced on Mom\'s doorstep as she was cooking the Sunday lunch. I\'ll never forget the look on her face.</p>\n<p>The trips to India were out of this world - a dream come true!. I would stay at the house of the biggest gemstone dealer in Jaiphur and have my own servant to take care of me. I also stayed in the Walkeshwar area of Bombay - the millionaire\'s playground as it\'s often called. I realize now that I would never have gotten to see India if it wasn\'t for that ad in the Bangkok Post.</p>\n<h3>The Berlitz Years</h3>\n<p>Although I was making decent money at the Indian gemstone company, I craved a better lifestyle. I was living in a pokey 2,500 baht a month apartment in one of Bangkok\'s more undesirable areas and I was constantly dipping into my own savings to feed both my fast food restaurant and tailor\'s shop addictions. I would have to supplement my income and teaching seemed like the most obvious way. These however were the days before the internet and if you wanted a teaching job you either looked through the Yellow Pages or you scanned the Bangkok Post classifieds. I happened upon the Berlitz logo in the telephone book and gave them a call. Surprisingly the Academic Director at the Silom Road branch was bursting with enthusiasm on the other end of the line and begged me to go and see him that very evening. He offered me a job on the spot - three hours a night, two nights a week. Although it only paid 150 baht an hour (Berlitz actually teach 40-minute periods) it put a very welcome extra three or four thousand baht a month in my pocket.</p>\n<p>After doing part-time teaching for less than three weeks, I was getting excellent reviews from the students and Berlitz asked me if I would be interested in teaching all day Saturdays at the Sukhumwit branch. I said that I would be happy to. The first Saturday I remember as if it was yesterday - a real baptism of fire - ten periods with a 40-minute break for lunch. I crawled home knackered. But I\'d never had a job that was so fulfilling. The following Monday I asked Berlitz if I could join them full-time and they couldn\'t put the contract in front of me quickly enough. I was now going to be earning double what I was making at the gemstone company, I went to see Nalin, Nita and Asit in the afternoon and told them that I was moving on (they knew nothing about the part-time teaching) They were sad to see me go but fully understood.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to summarize the Berlitz experience in one paragraph. I stayed there for two years. In retrospect it was one year too long. I worked alongside some great people, none more so than David Siutyk, the A.D of the Sukhumwit branch, who has played such an important part in my TEFL career and who has become a lifelong friend. You\'ll be hearing his name pop up again for sure. I developed confidence teaching and standing up in front of small groups of students. And I consistently scored highly on student surveys and earned the right to call myself a competent teacher. I rose to the position of assistant academic director at the start of the second year. Everyone has to cut their teeth at some place - Berlitz was as good a school as any to do your apprenticeship. However, the hours were long (twelve hour days were not uncommon) and the Berlitz method of teaching was mind-numbingly dull. In addition Japanese housewives (who made up a large percentage of the Sukhumwit clientele) are simply too boring for words.</p>\n<p>I started to suffer from teacher burnout and became irritable and unpleasant to be around. Although I\'ve never liked the ordeal of changing jobs, it seemed like the only way out of the &lsquo;blackness\' I\'d descended into. In the end the decision to leave was made for me. The old Berlitz manager, who had been so good to me for two years, was called back to Japan and a new guy took over the everyday running of the operation. His style of management was radically different to mine and Dave\'s and we both knew it was time to abandon ship.</p>\n<h3>The ELS/ELC Years</h3>\n<p>The next stop was ELS on Ramkhamhaeng Rd. It\'s probably unfair to label it as a &lsquo;stop\' because I was there for five years - five generally very happy years. My old buddy Dave became the Academic Director and I was given the position of senior teacher. ELS is an American franchise and specialized in preparing Thai students for study in America. I\'ll always be grateful to ELS because it was here that I truly developed as a teacher. Students would come for an intensive one-month program (120 hours) and we had nine levels of study. Some students went from level one to nine in nine months.</p>\n<p>This was very serious stuff. I taught conversation and grammar skills and reading techniques, but it was academic writing and TOEFL preparation that became my forte. Students refused to study another level if they couldn\'t have Phil as the academic writing teacher. I worked long and hard developing ideas to make academic writing and TOEFL Prep more interactive and it seemed to pay off handsomely. I had more work than I could cope with, easily pulling in 35-40,000 baht a month (and this was the mid 90s) I moved to a much better apartment on Petchburi Road with luxuries such as a separate bedroom and cable TV.</p>\n<p>An elderly teacher, who we referred to as Uncle John, joined the ELS teaching staff. John had been in Thailand for about 20 years and rented a large house on a Thai moobarn (housing estate) He told me about the days when he opened his home to private students and earned himself 500 baht an hour teaching them (I was earning about 300 baht an hour at the time). \"You could easily earn another 10,000 baht a month by doing a few hours at the weekend\" he said. I don\'t want to say I was driven by the thought of money but my brain cells suddenly went into overdrive. After three months of house-hunting I finally found the place I was looking for - a three-bedroom house on a quiet residential soi - 9,000 baht a month. Now it was time to start earning some real money.</p>\n<p>Within a month or so of setting myself up as a private teacher in my own home to supplement my ELS income, ELS underwent a major change. The ELS franchise was given up by the Thai franchisees and overnight the school became ELC. It was to become 100% Thai-owned and run. The walls were painted yellow and blue, the receptionists got brand new uniforms, and the school took on a completely different identity. The ELC (formerly ELS) schools at both Ramkhamhaeng and Victory Monument were now under the watchful eye of a Thai advertising and marketing whiz-kid, who was brought in to take ELC into the new millennium. He made sweeping changes and at least 50% of the Thai staff was fired or gently helped out of the door. I was definitely part of his future plans though and within a month I was made Head Teacher of Ramkhamhaeng and Dave S remained as Academic Director, but with Victory Monument continuing to be far busier than the Ram branch, I moved &lsquo;sideways within the triangle\' to take over at Victory.</p>\n<p>There then probably came the biggest &lsquo;twist\' of my whole TEFL career as Dave S dropped a bombshell and handed in his resignation. He had been head-hunted by a brand-new international school on Sukhumwit Rd and been made an offer he couldn\'t refuse. The path was now clear for me to take over as Academic Director of both ELC branches. I was formally offered the position and asked to name my price. I foolishly settled for the ridiculously low salary of 35,000 baht a month. I was just looking forward to the challenge. There was now a real buzz about the place.</p>\n<p>I lasted six months as an Academic Director. I didn\'t fail. I just hated it. Anyone who wants to be an Academic Director wants their bumps feeling. It is the most thankless of tasks. You\'re trying to keep both the Thai owners and the farang teaching staff happy and you find yourself failing on both counts. The workload was enormous. I was crawling home at midnight and getting on a bus to Victory Monument at 7am. I barely had time to call my girlfriend (now my wife) on the telephone and when I did all she got were moans.</p>\n<p>Two incidents clearly mark the end of my time at ELC. Firstly when I broke down in tears outside 7-11 one Friday lunchtime because I was so exhausted. I\'m a great fan of the Rastafarian poet Benjamin Zephania. In one of his poems he warns against the dangers of working too hard and not having time to relate to anything else. This was me all over. Secondly I had a nasty and heated argument with the advertising whiz-kid and an irremovable wedge was driven between us. The honeymoon period was well and truly over - but he could stick his midnight finishes where the sun doesn\'t shine.</p>\n<h3>The Onnud Years</h3>\n<p>Unemployment didn\'t last long. In fact it lasted less than 24 hours. My old mate Dave S came to the rescue again. He put in a good word for me at the International School on Sukhumwit (I knew the owner very well anyway) and I was hired on the spot as senior teacher. Some would say it was a demotion but I never looked at it that way. I was just happy to get away from ELC and to be managing 7-8 hours sleep again.</p>\n<p>The international school on Sukhumwit had just been built at a cost of about five million baht. I\'ve never seen a school as beautiful as this one and neither had any of the few teachers that ever worked there. There was a sound-lab with new Sony TVs and computers - all with internet access. There were about a dozen classrooms tastefully decorated in soothing pastel colors and furnished with expensive wall-hangings. There was also a swimming pool and restaurant. The only problem was that no budget had been allocated to marketing and promotion. Once Dave and I had put the curriculum in place, we sat there and waited for the students to come. And then we sat and waited some more. We sat and waited for eighteen months. And then on a fine, sunny day in October, the owner took me to one side and told me that the school could no longer afford to pay my salary. I was just surprised I\'d lasted as long as I had. I have never to this day seen such a colossal amount of money go to waste. Dave married an Australian-Thai girl and moved to live in Sydney and I was unemployed once again.</p>\n<p>It would be unjust to ignore the fact that while I was working at the international school was when I first met Ian of ajarn.com fame and got involved with the Wednesday teachers nights at the Londoner. I had ridiculous amounts of time on my hands and offered to do a teacher\'s tales section for the website. You\'ll find them buried here somewhere.</p>\n<p>During the last few months at the international school and in a desperate attempt to hang onto my teaching skills, I\'d got in touch with my pals at Inlingua (Al Lock and John C) and offered to do some corporate teaching for them. Fortunately I still had a good name for professionalism despite slipping out of the game a little and I did some good programs for them at Philips Electronics and also a couple of finance companies. It seemed like a logical step to approach Inlingua and ask them for full-time work. I mean everyone goes through Inlingua at some stage. My time had finally come.</p>\n<p>My duties at Inlingua were two-fold. Firstly to run a Thai language program for beginners that I had designed with a Mr James Neal (sadly no longer with us) and secondly to teach corporate clients. My six months at Inlingua was probably the lowest period of my EFL career. It wasn\'t Inlingua\'s fault. They tried very hard to make me happy but my employment period coincided with the worst teaching slump in living memory. No one wanted English language training. Companies just couldn\'t be bothered with it anymore. The full-time teachers fought for scraps and the part-timers got nothing. The Thai course flopped and my bank balance was reaching alarmingly low levels. I was down but not quite out.</p>\n<p>I lay on the bed at home and stared at the ceiling. I\'d worked for ten years in Thailand\'s TEFL industry. I\'d missed something like four days due to sickness. I\'d been late for work twice. I\'d consistently got top marks on student surveys. I knew my stuff. I\'d worked hard and always given 100%. And yet I had nothing to show for it all.</p>\n<h3>Ruthlessness</h3>\n<p>And then, as the old clich&eacute; goes, it came to me in a vision, I realized that the key word was &lsquo;ruthlessness\'. I\'d never looked after number one. I\'d spent far too long trying to please everyone else. That was where the whole root of the problem lay. From now on (and I realize I\'m going to sound like one of those dreary self-help books) I was going to shift the focus. I cleaned up the &lsquo;classroom\' at my home - the first thing I was going to do was get the private teaching back on track. It had been two years since a private student had knocked on my door. Now I was more determined than ever to make a real go of it.</p>\n<p>As I was flicking cobwebs from the room\'s darkest corners, my mobile phone rang. It was Ian. Sony Vektor were looking for a sales and marketing director to take care of the Thailand and Malaysia markets. They were looking for someone to call up companies and sell a unique brand of self-study e-learning. They wanted me to be that man. My Dad always says that if I fell off a department store roof, I\'d land in a new suit, but I think you make things happen. Or perhaps it was Ian\'s way of thanking me for doing the teacher\'s tales section.</p>\n<p>I was at Sony Vektor for eighteen months and enjoyed it immensely. I also&nbsp;made some decent money out of it. I also took over ajarn.com from Ian when he moved to work in China. But sales jobs are always stressful and coupled with the long commute to and from work, I jumped at the chance to join a new training consultancy that was setting up in the Sukhumwit area. I\'ve moved on from being a teacher to being a consultant. I work with great people. I conduct serious on-site training programs. I\'m well-paid and hopefully respected as a hard-working professional. \"Phil was the epitome of professionalism\" is how I most want to be remembered.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/clowntears.jpg','2005-10-30 08:53:51',1,'2005-10-30 08:53:51','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(804,20,'Low teacher salaries','low-teacher-salaries','Is ajarn.com partly to blame?','No, ajarn.com isn\'t responsible for low teacher salaries - at least not according to Louis Minson.

Of course I\'d like to see salaries rising in Thailand, but I\'m a realist. Banning jobs that pay under 40k a month is just ridiculous, and completely ignores a number of factors that might make such a job quite acceptable to many people.</p>\n<p>Of course working for 40 hours a week for 20k baht is a joke, but is working for 10 hours a week for this salary more paletable if you could come and go as you pleased and work overtime or privately. A blanket ban based on salary bracket alone is not the way to go. Another suggestion was to put all jobs below this salary level into a \"trash bin\". I\'m not sure what schools other people work for, but I know for a fact that if mine discovered that it was being labelled as trash, it would soon withdraw it\'s ads in outrage. It wouldn\'t increase salaries, but would instead find another website that treated it with a little respect.</p>\n<p>The view being taken is that making Ajarn.com jobs more exclusive would increase salaries throughout Thailand, whereas the opposite is true, it would merely be sweeping things under the carpet. No, it is not Ajarn.com\'s job to force salary rises in Thailand, rather it is the job of market forces, and individuals to influence those who actually make decisions about foreign teachers\' salaries. To illustrate a very pertinant example, I give you Songkhla.</p>\n<p>Three years ago when I arrived at the Wor Zone I was offered the full-time salary of 25k baht. A year later it had risen to 28k, and two years later the school was offering a starting salary of 30k. Why? Because it\'s an employee\'s market. There are more jobs than teachers, and salaries are offered to tempt those few that are here that one place is better than others. It also goes without saying that once salaries are raised it\'s very difficult for schools to lower them lest they want to appear a laughing stock by other schools. Meanwhile across town other schools are offering 32k, and we still can\'t compete, but thats all good as it\'s something to push for next year.</p>\n<p>It\'s informal networks of recruiting teachers having a quiet word here and there that are influencing school admins, not pressure or bans from classified ads sites whose role it is simply to reflect market reality, and include the occaisional editorial opinion that analyses the impact that certain salaries have on lifestyle, which Phil at Ajarn.com does and I\'m sure will continue to do, but placing restrictions based on a simple salary level cutoff would do nothing but destroy Ajarn\'s well-earned reputation of carrying the most comprehensive selection of jobs in Thailand - a fact acknowleged by both Thai and Farrang alike.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/paypacket.jpg','2008-10-30 08:12:51',1,'2008-10-30 08:12:51','2010-03-03 20:08:52'),(805,21,'Problems at your school','problems-at-your-school','There are always problems where you work','So there are 25 things wrong with your teaching job?

It was a very well-written list and I have no doubt that most of the entries are true and can probably be verified. The overall message to any new teacher thinking of working at this school was simply DON\'T.\n<p>The list got me thinking. I thought back to the longest teaching job I\'ve ever had in Thailand - the five years at ELS in the mid-90s. Armed with pen and paper, I set about compiling a list of the 25 things that really used to bug me. Here they are in no particular order,</p>\n<p>1) The school\'s key-holder sometimes arrived late leaving a group of teachers, eager to prepare their morning lessons, standing outside in the hot sun.<br />2) Important issues were raised at meetings but little was ever resolved.<br />3) It was easier to take the receptionist\'s virginity than it was to get a new board marker off her.<br />4) There were some appalling management hires.<br />5) Many of the teachers had no qualifications or experience and were constantly asking the more experienced teachers for guidance. They became \'time thieves\'.<br />6) The maid often failed to wash up the coffee cups.<br />7) The maid sometimes forgot to buy coffee.<br />8) The air-conditioning in most classrooms was ancient and frequently broke down.<br />9) The school allowed students to take TOEFL prep courses when they clearly weren\'t good enough.<br />10) We only had one decent-sized classroom.<br />11) There was nowhere to have a smoke.<br />12) The teachers shared toilets with students.<br />13) The elevator never worked and teachers often had to climb five flights of stairs to get to their lesson.<br />14) Teachers had to do evening classes where students showed up tired or didn\'t show up at all.<br />15) The photocopier frequently ran out of ink.<br />16) The reception staff were bone idle and often forgot to pass on important messages.<br />17) On the day you wanted to use the solitary TV set, four other teachers wanted to use it as well.<br />18) The school smelled of cheap disinfectant.<br />19) Pay was sometimes late as the school encountered cash-flow problems.<br />20) The conversation classes were filled with mixed level students because no one got turned away.<br />21) The listening equipment in the sound lab was pre-war.<br />22) There were frequent power-cuts.<br />23) There was a teacher sign-in book to record the time you arrived and left. Many teachers found this a little degrading.<br />24) The breaks between lessons weren\'t long enough.<br />25) We sometimes ran out of A4 paper.</p>\n<p>So there you have it - twenty five problems or \'grievances\' that I can recall effortlessly from all those years ago. It sounds like the school from hell doesn\'t it? ......................................I loved every single minute of working there.<br />The fact is that every job has 25 things wrong with it. Every house or apartment has 25 things wrong with it. Every childhood, every parent, every journey to work. You may need some time to think about them but they are there. Provided the 25 don\'t all happen on the same day, you\'ll muddle through. It\'s how you react to these \'inconveniences\' that will make or break your time in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Henry Holmes writes about the notion of not letting these things get to you in his excellent book \'Working With the Thais\'. Much of the book is a little dated but certain sections are still as relevant today. He calls it the \'perception barrier\'</p>\n<p>\"A European lady moves to Bangkok. At first she\'s appalled by the trash she sees on the road near her apartment. For some time she can\'t help looking at it as she walks along. And then one day, by accident, her eyes drift upward and she notices there are beautiful, multi-colored bougainvillea billowing over some walls in the neighborhood. From now on, it\'s going to be a question of where she rests her eyes during these walks. This decision will to some extent affect her morale, vis-a-vis her stay in Thailand\"</p>\n<p>A lot of the problems in my list of 25 really used to bother me. It took me a long time to realize that you will invariably never change things so you may as well just get on with it. But the photocopier breaking down, the lack of storage lockers, and the meeting that gets cancelled at the last minute are not enough to recommend other teachers give the school a wide berth. This is not about being pro-teacher or pro-employer, it\'s about realizing that sometimes you just have to go with the flow.</p>\n<p>I remember a female teacher weeping loudly in the teachers room because her whole lesson relied on flashcards that needed to be cut out in readiness for the next class. Ten minutes before the lesson is due to start and she can\'t find the staffroom scissors. Either one of the teachers had taken and not returned them or one of the \'bitches from hell\' (a term she used for the office girls downstairs) had \'stolen\' them. \"What am I going to do?\" she howled through strands of saliva and snot.<br />One of her colleagues looked up from his paperwork and said \"why not do something else?\"</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/angry_boss.jpg','2008-01-14 12:00:07',1,'2008-01-14 12:00:07','2009-10-30 00:12:08'),(806,21,'The mass transit factor','the-mass-transit-factor','Where do they go and what do they know?','Ajarn takes a look at the Bangkok underground and sky-train systems. How has the average Bangkok teacher\'s life improved since the systems started operating?','<h3><img height=\"542\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/skytrain_big.gif\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" width=\"500\" /></h3>\n<h3>Overview</h3>\n<p>The BTS (usually referred to as simply \'the sky-train\') consists of two lines - the lengthy Sukhumwit line, which currently runs from On Nut to Morchit and the much shorter Silom Line, running from the National Stadium to Saphan Taksin. You\'ll see from the map above that Siam station is the only station where the two lines link. There is considerable construction underway to extend the two BTS lines in all directions but I\'ll get on to that later.</p>\n<p>The MRT (usually referred to as \'the underground\') is a single route from Hualampong to Khampaeng Phet. The underground \'connects\' with the sky-train at two points - Sala Daeng (the Silom line) and Asok (the Sukhumwit line). Both interchanges require you to physically leave one station before entering another, in fact the walk from BTS Sala Daeng to MRT Silom is a good five minutes. You have the usual choice of single journey and stored-value tickets on both systems.</p>\n<h3>The BTS Sukhumwit Line</h3>\n<p>The BTS Sukhumwit line runs from the residential area of On Nut (lots of cheap apartments around here) to the bustling, predominantly Thai working-class area of Mo Chit (also the home of the northern bus terminal) During the morning rush hour thousands of commuters pour into On nut station, which serves the eastern side of the city, and you see many teachers traveling to Chidlom and Siam (possibly to connect with the Silom line) and also beyond Siam station to the many schools and universities in those areas. Riding from one end of the Sukhumwit line to the other would take in the region of 40 minutes I guess (I\'ve never really timed it). Let\'s begin our journey at BTS On Nut, in the shadow of the giant Tesco Lotus superstore.</p>\n<p>The BTS line travels from the terminus at On Nut to the grimy grey Phra Kanong area and then into the up-market residential neighborhoods of Ekkami and Thong Lo. After that it\'s BTS Prompong - a favorite stop for bejeweled socialites going to the Emporium department store and then BTS Asok for those wanting to transfer to the underground line. BTS Nana is slap bang in the middle of tourist territory and an exit point for those seeking hotels, pool halls, girly bars, pub restaurants and tailors shops. You get the picture. Ploenchit and Chidlom are both business and residential areas combined with dare I say it - a touch of elegance, and then it\'s all change for the Silom line at Siam (sometimes called Siam Central by those who just like to confuse people)</p>\n<p>After Siam station - and pretty much for the rest of the Sukhumwit line - the vista completely changes. BTS Phya Thai, BTS Ari, BTS Saphan Kwai - gone are the flashy department stores, the apartment compounds and the five-star luxury hotels and their places are taken by characterless apartment blocks, office buildings with low occupancy and what might best be described as a sprawling mess. My apologies to people who live out that way because I\'m sure Victory Monument does have its good points. I\'ve just never found them that\'s all. It\'s not all bad though. You do get a nice whiff of chlorophyll as you alight at BTS Mo Chit thanks to its elevated position overlooking Chatuchak park.</p>\n<p><strong>Future extensions <br /></strong>The BTS plans to extend the eastern (On Nut) end of the line another five kilometres all the way to Samrong (hooray! that\'s near where I live) and work is set to be completed in February 2009. At the Mo Chit end of the line, an extra twelve kilometres is due for completion between 2010 and 2012.</p>\n<h3>The BTS Silom Line</h3>\n<p>The map above shows that the BTS Silom line is covered by just five stations, but work on extending the line over to the Thonburi side of the river should now be nearing completion (an extended distance of just over 2 kilometres). The Silom line begins at BTS National Stadium (something of a misnomer because the official national stadium is now the Rajamangala stadium in Hua Mark) and is your stop off for the mighty Mahboonkrong shopping center (MBK). After stopping at BTS Siam (all change for the Sukhumwit line) it then winds its way down to BTS Ratchadamri, with spectacular views over the Bangkok Royal Sports Club. BTS Sala Daeng is your stop for the top end of Silom Road and then it\'s on to one of Bangkok\'s major business districts, Sathorn Road, served by BTS Chong Nonsi. If you\'re a fan of concrete and steel constructions then you can really fill your boots around here. Then there\'s a quick look at the non-descript BTS Surasak, before the train pulls into BTS Saphan Taksin. With its riverside location, its nautical hustle and bustle and its impressive views, this is possibly my favorite station of all. Traveling from one end of the Silom line to the other takes about 15-20 minutes.</p>\n<h3>The MRT Line</h3>\n<p>The MRT or \'underground\' is a single route from Hualampong (next to the main central railway station) right up to Kamphaeng Phet in northern Bangkok. I must confess that I\'ve never ridden the whole line but it must take about 40 minutes at least. The MRT is a useful addition to the city\'s transport options but I personally only find it useful if I need the Petchburi, Rama 9, Huay Kwang area of the city, otherwise the BTS covers all my daily needs. I know quite a number of teachers who live in the areas around the Thailand Cultural Center (which you will see has its own MRT station) so the MRT is a godsend for those guys.</p>\n<p>I always find traveling by underground far more pleasant than zipping around by sky-train. The carriages are far less crowded, there\'s a lot more space down there than there is above ground, and you are mercifully free from those annoying TVs and PA systems that are the scourge of the BTS.</p>\n<p>If you use the MRT it\'s very important to work out your exit strategy. Because the MRT stations cover such vast areas, they typically have four exits. Failure to read the exit signs will have you emerging at street level like some half-crazed gopher, realizing that his destination objective is almost a pinprick on the horizon. I\'ve been caught out many times.</p>\n<p><strong>The Teacher\'s Viewpoint</strong></p>\n<p>By presenting a few case scenarios, I think you\'ll get an idea of how much easier things have become for your average Bangkok teacher since the MRT and BTS started operations.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher 1</strong><br />Tony has an apartment in Sukhumwit 56 which is about a five-minute walk from BTS On Nut on the Sukhumwit line. He\'s a corporate English teacher so most of the companies he teaches at are located near the sky-train line. He might typically have three classes a day - one at a company near BTS Siam, another near Sala Daeng (on the Silom line) and then his final class near Asok (back on the Sukhumwit line) Years ago, scheduling these classes would have been a nightmare. You might have spent ten minutes going from one job to the next......or it might have taken an hour during the rainy season. Your journey time was literally in the lap of the gods. Nowadays Tony knows exactly how long the journeys will take and can schedule classes accordingly, He can also move out to the On Nut area where there are some good apartment bargains to be had.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher 2</strong><br />Greg works at an international school, located a stone\'s throw from BTS Mor Chit. However, he doesn\'t want to give up his lovely rented riverside house near to BTS Saphan Taksin. Years ago the thought of doing this kind of commute would be for mad fools and Englishmen, but thanks to a combination of the Silom and Sukhumwit lines, he\'s door-to-door in 50 minutes.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher 3</strong> <br />Fiona lives out in the Phahon Yothin area of the city but she\'s just a few minutes from the underground station. She takes the underground to Asok and connects with the BTS Sukhumwit line as far as Siam. Then it\'s all change for the Silom line and into the office on Silom Road. Even though her journey to work relies on her using all three mass transit lines - the journey never takes longer than an hour. Even the car-drivers using the expressway can\'t do it that fast!</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/skytrain.jpg','2007-10-30 08:35:29',1,'2007-10-30 08:35:29','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(807,21,'Teacher licensing regulations 2009','teacher-licensing-regulations-2009','What you will need to do or have in order to become a legal teacher','With the help of one of Bangkok\'s top teacher recruiters and a few contacts at the Thailand Ministry of Education and The Teacher\'s Council of Thailand, ajarn.com has come up with the following information regarding what will be involved if you want to teach legally in Thailand as of mid-May 2009 (the start of the next academic year)','<p>With the help of one of Bangkok\'s top teacher recruiters and a few contacts at the Thailand Ministry of Education and The Teacher\'s Council of Thailand, ajarn.com has come up with the following information regarding what will be involved if you want to teach legally in Thailand as of mid-May 2009 (the start of the next academic year).

The course is held on weeknights and/or weekends for those who work full-time.</p>\n<p>OR</p>\n<p><strong>Method 3</strong></p>\n<p>After you have passed the 20-hour \'Foreign Teacher Thai Culture Training Program\' you can then take a four-part exam (instead of the one-year long Teachers Licensing Course) If you pass the four-part exam (each exam will cost 1,000 baht) you will then receive a teachers licence for the Kingdom of Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Applicant Type 3 - Method 4</strong><br />For any teachers possessing a High School Diploma (or less) but NO Bachelor Degree.</p>\n<p>People in this category must possess / obtain and/or complete the following:</p>\n<p>1) A letter from the school you currently teach at - <br />a) stating how long you have been teaching there.<br />b) signed by The Principal<br />c) stating that the school does not have the budget to hire qualified teachers, as they demand a much higher salary.<br />d) stating that you are a fantastic teacher and the world as we know it would simply stop spinning if the school lost you, so please, please. please (with sugar on top) give this foreign teacher a teachers licence.</p>\n<p>Whether or not the Teachers Council does or does not grant you a teachers licence will be entirely up to them. Even if they do, and before they do, you will STILL have to complete the 20-hour \'Foreign Teacher Thai Culture Training Program\' and you must have completed this course BEFORE you send the letter from your school to The Teachers Council.</p>\n<p><strong>Do the new rules only apply to new applicants?</strong><br />by Jason Alavi</p>\n<p>The new licensing procedures do NOT only apply to new applicants. Even people who have had teachers licenses from many years back have to get a new one. I\'ve had one for 6 years and I\'m in the same boat. This is for two reasons:</p>\n<p>1) It is a lifetime teachers\' license and (according to The Teachers Council) there has never been a licensing procedure for non-Thai teachers that is this comprehensive. We will now basically have to go through the same hoops that Thai teachers do in order to get a teachers license. I showed several Thai friends of mine, who are teachers, the entire process and they said that it\'s exactly the same process they had to go through. The 20 hour \"Thai Culture Course\" in conjunction with either a Bachelors of Ed or a 1 year Teacher Training Course will in theory, produce farangs who are as well educated in both cultural and esoteric educational points as Thais with a Bachelors of Ed. The new teachers license will be similar to a license for a physician. A physician only gets licensed once, but may work for many hospitals and or care providers throughout their career. The new license will no longer be \'employer dependent\'.</p>\n<p>2) It is no longer tied to a specific place of employment. Under the old process, private schools would have to request a \"Teachers\' License\" from the O.P.E.C. (Office of the Private Education Commission, www.opec.go.th) office in their province, before they could go to immigration to request a one-year Non-Immigrant Visa on the applicant\'s behalf. This so-called, \"Teachers\' License\" was nothing more than a pretty piece of paper to hang on the wall of the private school and a step in the visa acquisition process. All a private school had to do was give basic data about the teacher and OPEC would grant it. No 20 hour \"Thai Culture Training Course\" existed or any 1 year \"Teacher Training Course\".</p>\n<p>This process for private schools only was streamlined in anticipation of the new Teachers\' Licensing regulations on March 5th, 2008. That is the date that OPEC sent a memo to all private schools nationwide allowing the private schools themselves to \"appoint a foreign national as a teacher or officer\" of the private school. This letter, issued by the private schools themselves, will now be given to immigration in lieu of that easily obtained \"Teachers\' License\" in the Non-Imm acquisition process. Phew! I\'m exhausted!</p>\n<p>Now, whether you currently work at a public or private school, you and NOT the school you work at apply for it. It has nothing to do with your current employers\' licensing class under MOE regulations. You don\'t even have to be currently teaching to apply for a teachers\' license! When you leave any place of employment, your license follows you since it\'s a lifetime license. It is now the responsibility of the individual, not the school, to prove that they are licensed to teach through proper channels.</p>\n<h3>Ajarn Comment</h3>\n<p>Applicant 2 Method 2 is completely insane. It has to be said. And we have it on very good authority that there are even a few employees at The Thai Ministry of Education shaking their head in disbelief. Unfortunately the head-shakers aren\'t the decision makers. Seriously, who is going to invest 60,000 baht and a huge chunk of time to take a one-year program of this nature? Even those who are looking to teach here for 5-10 years or maybe looking to settle here for good will think twice about it. As for those people on a gap year or coming to teach English in Thailand for the short haul - forget it. It\'s a complete non-starter. There\'s a school of thought that so many schools and employers are going to be up-in-arms about this that there has to be a U-turn from the MoE. It\'s either that or many schools will either have no teachers or be forced to employ teachers illegally.</p>\n<p>Applicant 3 method 4 is interesting and there are many teachers who will go down this route. I guess that the success of method 4 will largely depend on the failure of method 2.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/teacherreg.jpg','2009-01-21 10:38:55',1,'2009-01-21 10:38:55','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(808,21,'Four times the salary of a local Thai?','four-times-the-salary-of-a-local-thai','What a load of bullshit!','Nothing irks me more than reading that statement and you see it all over the web wherever the topic of teaching in Thailand is discussed or promoted. It’s a statement that’s both grossly misleading and wildly inaccurate.','<p><em>\"You\'ll be earning four times the salary of a local Thai\" </em></p>\n<p><em></em>Nothing irks me more than reading that statement and you see it all over the web wherever the topic of teaching in Thailand is discussed or promoted. It\'s a statement that\'s both grossly misleading and wildly inaccurate.</p>\n<p>Let me tell you this. Local Thais who work for medium-sized Thai companies and foreign multinationals - even those who aren\'t the brightest bulb in the marquee - earn salaries that went way beyond those of your average English teacher a long, long time ago.</p>\n<p>I\'ve always struggled to give an identity to this &lsquo;local Thai\' - this person who takes home a mere quarter of what an English teacher does. Is it a bus conductor? Is it a street-sweeper? Is it the bored-looking shop assistant in Robinsons? I really don\'t know. But one thing I do know - surely you would expect at the very least to earn four times what they do.</p>\n<p>Such wild claims invariably forget two fundamental things.</p>\n<p>Firstly, the foreign teacher doesn\'t have the family support network that many average local Thais enjoy. How do you think a Thai earning 15,000 baht a month - and there are plenty of them - can drive around in a spanking brand new car? Perhaps they saved up five-baht coins in a glass jar? I don\'t think so.</p>\n<p>Secondly, foreigners can\'t &lsquo;live\' like a Thai. However romantic the notion of living in a boxy apartment and eating street-food three times a day may be, few foreigners can handle that sort of lifestyle for more than a few months.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to get into the argument of how much money a teacher needs to earn in order to survive or live comfortably in Thailand. Every person has different needs when it comes to standards of living. It\'s a discussion topic that\'s raged forever and a day. However, I feel it\'s important to realistically assess how far a salary of 30,000 baht will stretch (and let\'s assume 30,000 baht is the magical figure being touted as four times that of a local Thai)</p>\n<p>Here goes. A salary of 30,000 baht will probably be closer to 29,000 baht after tax.</p>\n<p>I\'m a little out of touch with the cost of basic apartments but accommodation is probably going to be your biggest expense. I would say 6,000 baht a month is the minimum you would need to pay in Bangkok for something decent. With utility bills and phone, this could easily top 8,000 baht a month all in.</p>\n<p><strong>So that leaves you with 21,000 baht a month in your pocket. </strong></p>\n<p>If you take the average month as being thirty days then that leaves you with the princely sum of 700 baht a day. And out of that 700 baht a day, you need to put food in your stomach and clothes on your back. Then of course there are the small matters of laundry, health insurance, transportation, weekends away on a tropical island (you did come here to see Thailand as well didn\'t you?) computers, toiletries - and wouldn\'t it be nice to fly home to see the family every year or two.</p>\n<p>I earned 35,000 baht a month teaching English as far back as 1994. Anyone earning that kind of salary in a private language school certainly had to put in the hours, but at least the hours were available for those who wanted them.</p>\n<p>When one was younger and had infinitely more energy, you didn\'t mind the punishing schedules if it meant a few extra treats at the end of each month and a generally better standard of living.</p>\n<p>You could well argue that salaries haven\'t risen for the Thailand-based foreign teacher in the last 10-15 years but what\'s more obvious (at least to me) is that nowadays there is far more to spend your money on.</p>\n<p>Everyone wants a nice PC or laptop complete with the latest software. And then there are the temptations of the high street - the Starbucks, the KFCs and the McCafes to name just a few - all vying with each other to separate you from the baht in your pocket. In the mid-90s they just weren\'t around. But why shouldn\'t you enjoy the luxury of nipping into Starbucks for an iced latte and an oatmeal muffin, despite it probably eating up a whopping 20% of your 700 baht daily &lsquo;allowance\'.</p>\n<p>Of course not every teacher works in the salary-squeezing capital. There are plenty of chalkies out there plying their trade in Thailand\'s rural areas, where many teachers (and employers) claim that the cost of living is &lsquo;much lower\' or &lsquo;far cheaper\' than that in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never subscribed to this point of view at all. Accommodation can be cheaper, I\'ll give you that one, but transportation, the cost of getting around town? - not necessarily.</p>\n<p>Order a whopper in Burger King and the price is the same. Stroll around a department store and you\'ll see that a quality pair of shoes is on a par with what you\'d pay in Bangkok. Assuming they sell quality pairs of shoes in the first place.</p>\n<p>Next time you see promotional blurb proclaiming that you\'ll be earning four times the salary of a local Thai, perhaps you might want the above ramblings to be your small print.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/localfarmers.jpg','2009-10-30 09:47:23',1,'2009-10-30 09:47:23','2016-07-03 18:06:24'),(809,21,'The A to Z of TEFL in Thailand','the-a-to-z-of-teaching-tefl-in-thailand','A playful look at this sometimes crazy industry','Have we come up with the ultimate A to Z of teaching TEFL in Thailand.

Mainly because no-one else wants the job of doing it.</p>\n<p><strong>B</strong> is for brainstorming - that magical time at the beginning of a lesson when you ask students to fill up the whiteboard with ideas and involves almost all the students either collapsing in a giggling fit or looking completely devoid of inspiration&nbsp;</p>\n<p>B is also for back of a beer-mat, where a teacher works out if he\'s going to make enough to pay the rent this month.</p>\n<p><strong>C</strong> is for cowboy outfit, a modern, plush-looking language school that\'s usually owned by a woman with big hair and more jewels than the Queen of Sheba. It\'s got smartly-dressed receptionists, expensive floor tiling, an exciting display of textbooks all fastidiously arranged in a bookcase, and yet can\'t keep teachers for shit because it pays barely six dollars an hour.</p>\n<p>C is also for contract, the six-page document that tells you your responsibilities, your working hours, your remuneration package, and your employer\'s obligations. See also S for scrap paper.</p>\n<p><strong>D</strong> is for the Dunkin Donuts party pack, the cornerstone of every decent teachers meeting. It invariably involves the least popular teacher getting his hands on the most delicious-looking donut, and you getting left with the one covered in pink icing sugar.</p>\n<p>D is also for danger zone, the awful realization that there are still five minutes of the lesson left and you\'ve totally run out of material. \"So...did anyone see a good film at the weekend?\" is a classic example of a teacher entering the danger zone.</p>\n<p>D is for drag foot, the name given to describe a student\'s gait as they walk into your English class.</p>\n<p><strong>E</strong> is for \'extra activities\' - things that usually happen at the most inconvenient time, take up more time than your allocated teaching and are always conducted 100% in Thai, even when it\'s organized by the English Department.</p>\n<p>Also E for \'experimental lesson plan\' - closely linked with \'winging it\' (see W), but sounds better when you say it to the DOS.</p>\n<p><strong>F</strong> is for first-day classes, when newbie teachers have students all standing in a semi-circle throwing a ball to each other or something equally daunting for a bunch of people who have never met each other.</p>\n<p><strong>G</strong> is for Graveyard Shift, the task of having to teach in a language school after everyone else has gone home. Dust covers have been placed over computers and stock-room doors have been locked, but in a lonely little corner of the language school burns a sad fluorescent light, because four students with no friends and nowhere else to go have signed up for a two-for-one promotion deal.</p>\n<p>G is for gate duty, the responsibility of standing at the school entrance - at an ungodly hour each morning - purely to show parents dropping off their kids that the school has a foreign, white face on the teaching staff.</p>\n<p>G is also for gap year teacher, that young free spirit who comes to Thailand for four months to teach English, muck about with elephants and get off their tits at full moon parties.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>H</strong> is for hole, something an inexperienced teacher will have no trouble in digging. <br />\"Teacher, what\'s the difference between recognize and remember?\"<br />\"Ah that\'s easy. You recognize someone, but you remember something. So for example, you can say I recognize your face but you can\'t say I remember your face. Er....well, actually you can. Let me just get me coat\"</p>\n<p>H is also for hangover, the teacher\'s normal functioning state on Monday mornings.</p>\n<p><strong>I</strong> is for \"I\'ll get back to you on that one\", the time-honored retort when the palms begin to sweat and the H for hole becomes obscenely large.</p>\n<p>I is also for itemized phone bill, and the chance for a school to find out which teacher made the 7-minute phone call to Canada. It then leads to L for locking of the telephone, an act which bars all teachers from using the phone even though the guilty culprit left the teaching staff six months ago.</p>\n<p><strong>J</strong> is for Japan, that mythical land where you can actually earn enough money as a teacher to survive on.</p>\n<p>J can also be for jump, as in the hoops teachers jump through in order to obtain the visas and work permits we need to legally stay here in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>K</strong> is for Korea, where you go if you don\'t make it in J for Japan.</p>\n<p>K is also for kitchen area, two square foot of space where teachers all stand and wait for the oldest member of staff to finish making his coffee. How can someone possibly be that slow?</p>\n<p><strong>L</strong> is for lead-in (not to be confused with warmer). The lead-in for a lesson on \'decision-making\' might involve asking the students \"tell me what you would do if someone you loved was on a life-support machine?\" After two minutes of head-shaking and blank looks, the teacher wishes he\'d just said \"open your books to page 36\".</p>\n<p><strong>M</strong> is for muppet, the 10,000 baht a month employee who has had plastic surgery to have his/her lips sewn permanently to the manager\'s ass. The muppet has basically two responsibilities - photocopying hundreds of exam sheets and making illegal copies of textbooks - both of which he/she manages to balls up with alarming regularity.</p>\n<p>M is also for maid, that short, overweight woman in a bright yellow uniform that shuffles about, muttering to herself in a north-eastern dialect, and choosing to busy herself only when it\'s not possible to squeeze another dirty coffee cup in the kitchen sink.</p>\n<p>M is also for meta-speaker, the kind of teacher who gives students a running commentary of the whole lesson - \"now where did I put the board marker? ah there it is. No that\'s not it. It was here a minute ago. And where have my glasses gone to?</p>\n<p><strong>N </strong>is for nice little earner, one of those corporate jobs which pays 800 baht an hour and you also get to pocket the 500 baht travel money because a non-airconditioned bus goes door to door.</p>\n<p>N is also for neglected TEFL website, the kind of website that announces itself as \'your one-stop shop for teacher resources and TEFL information\' and hasn\'t been updated for five years.</p>\n<p>N is for \"not in Thailand\" - the most common response to any suggestions or requests made by teachers based on common sense in academics or business.</p>\n<p><strong>O</strong> is for observation, The unenviable job of having your lesson evaluated by a bored-looking academic director who sits in the corner doodling on a notepad. Feedback from lesson observations can depend solely on how \'matey\' you are with the evaluator. If he\'s your Friday night drinking buddy, then you can expect to get away with any old lesson performance. If the two of you don\'t really get along, he\'ll pick your lesson apart like a vulture on a dead antelope.</p>\n<p>O is for \'Oh Christ...\' The thought we have after asking a student what they did at the weekend and they respond with \"watch tv, eating, go to shopping or read a book\"</p>\n<p>O is for obvious teacher - usually seen standing on the sky-train and looking like he\'s just got up.</p>\n<p><strong>P</strong> is for picket line, the totally unforeseen event that occurs about twice a year at any private language school when the person responsible for opening up the school oversleeps. This leads to an embarrassed gathering of cigarette-smoking teachers and confused students all making uneasy conversation while waiting for the key-master to arrive.</p>\n<p>P is also for personal phone call, the kind of lengthy phone call that school receptionists engage in when they should be working. Usually cutesy and lovey-dovey, you have the best chance of overhearing such a conversation when there is an emergency, such as one of your students has just fainted in class.</p>\n<p>P is for private student, a special breed of student who feels no shame in calling you up ten minutes before the lesson is due to start and saying she\'s decided to ditch the study for today and go shopping with her mates instead.</p>\n<p><strong>Q</strong> is for quota disparity, in other words, how lessons at a private language school are divided up. Teacher A gets four lessons a day from 9.00 - 1.00, while teacher B has two hours from 9-11am and two hours from 7-9pm, with a gap in-between that allows enough time to do a little shopping. Or to get married, divorced and start a revolution. Teacher B is teacher B simply because he doesn\'t like to make a fuss.</p>\n<p>Q is also for qualification - the document that says the magic words: &lsquo;Teach\', &lsquo;English\', \'Foreign\', &lsquo;Language\' and possibly &lsquo;Speakers\' somewhere on it, ideally in a fancy cursive font and topped off with a crest or arty logo</p>\n<p>Q is for quick drink after work, when a group of teachers decide to have one beer together at the end of the teaching day - and eventually leads to 2.00am in a Patpong disco surrounded by freelance hookers.</p>\n<p><strong>R</strong> is for revision - a word that no student across the whole of Asia understands.</p>\n<p>R is also for rumormonger - when some well-meaning soul posts on a forum that you are no longer allowed to do more than two visa runs back to back. This is followed by someone posting that the Thai consulate in Penang is refusing to give out any kind of Thai visa whatsoever and those with more than four pages of entry stamps will be frog-marched into the nearby woods and shot. This news is followed by someone posting that timeless legend - \"the honeymoon\'s over. Goodbye Thailand. I\'m off to Vietnam where foreigners are more welcome\" Five years later, they\'re still in Thailand - and still moaning.</p>\n<p><strong>S</strong> is for sound lab, the room in the furthest corner of the building which has more knobs and buttons than a space shuttle, is used less often than a space shuttle, and the door of which is only ever opened when a) some bigwigs are visiting, or b) The Farang Ajarn wants to find somewhere quiet to sleep off his H for hangover.</p>\n<p>S is for student survey, the chance for students to evaluate the teacher\'s performance even though the students haven\'t a clue what the questions mean.</p>\n<p>S is most definitely for shock horror resume, the kind of resume that usually belongs to men who have gone through a terrible mid-life crisis. The shock horror resume contains entries in chronological oder such as \'from 1978-1998, I was responsible for 500 sales people in the Pacific North-West\' followed immediately by\'1998-1999, I taught three hours a week at ABC language institute. And as the interviewer, you\'re thinking \'what the hell happened?\'</p>\n<p>S is also for supplementary textbook, one of those meaty offerings entitled something like \'non-stop discussion\' or \'500 activities that work\', and even though you\'ve flicked through them countless times, you\'ve never managed to squeeze a single decent lesson out of them.</p>\n<p>S is for school lunch, a luke-warm, unidentifiable clump of meat that sits atop a luke-warm clump of low-grade rice. But it\'s either cheap or free and that\'s all that matters.</p>\n<p>S is for shared teacher accommodation, a crumbling building full of dangling electrical wires and mouldy bathroom tiles that new teachers put up with purely to keep living costs down</p>\n<p>S is for sweatbox, the non-airconditioned classroom usually found in rural schools. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>T</strong> is for teacher\'s room notices, those sheets of A4 paper, often decorated with tacky clip-art, that contain messages such as \'please kindly to wash up your cup of coffee after you will finish\' The fact that such a grammatically incorrect and incomprehensible message could adorn the wall of a language school goes by and large unchallenged depending on the seniority of the person that wrote it.</p>\n<p>T is for teacher\'s book, that thickish manual that says \"begin the lesson by getting the students to tell you about a time when they felt frightened or scared. Or some other piece of teacher advice that\'s guaranteed to sink faster than the Titanic.</p>\n<p>T is also for teacher\'s pet, the mainstay of any corporate training group. Usually female, she\'s the kind soul who fetches your glass of water and cleans off the whiteboard five minutes before the rest of the rabble arrive.</p>\n<p><strong>U</strong> is for \'under consideration, that timeless legend which is stamped in your passport at least four times whenever you go through the work permit process. Whether it\'s because the immigration department genuinely have meetings to discuss these things or whether they just like to make you keep coming back is not really known. If you\'re a gambling man, put your money on the latter.</p>\n<p><strong>V</strong> is for visa run chaos, the task of shuffling teachers around to cover Bill\'s visa run to Malaysia. It begins with \"can you cover Bill for just one day?\" Then it becomes \"Bill called to say the embassy was closed for a Muslim holiday\" Then \"Bill\'s lost his passport\" And finally \"has anyone heard from Bill?\" After two weeks, the students have forgotten who Bill is.</p>\n<p>V is also for video lesson - closely related to to \'winging it\' and \'experimental lesson plan. The video lesson is a frequently used lesson type employed by farang teachers who have imbibed a scoop too many the previous evening, and usually involves watching something a lot longer than the allocated time and pausing the machine every 10 or so minutes and asking \'ok, what do you think will happen next?</p>\n<p><strong>W</strong> is for warmer, one of those fun-filled, run up to the blackboard, whisper to your partner, fold up the paper activities that the students enjoy doing so much that you totally lose them when it\'s time to do some serious work.</p>\n<p>W is also for \'winging it\', that essential - but much frowned upon by TEFL course providers - activity that all TEFL teachers have to fall back on at short notice.</p>\n<p><strong>X</strong> is for Xenophobia - something that every English teacher will experience in Asia.</p>\n<p><strong>Y</strong> is for yakety-yak - what the students should be doing when they get themselves into pairs, and not discussing where their partner got their new mobile phone from.</p>\n<p><strong>Z</strong> is for student feedback.

It is, however, a big pain in the proverbial to get from Nonthaburi to the city centre of Bangkok. Traffic is horrendous. Especially where i live. Right on Rattanathibet Rd across from the Carrefour, not that far from the Bangkok border.<br /><br />Having said that. It is easy for me to get to school in the morning. I work at a near by Thai government school, in the bilingual programme. I am fortunate enough that my apartment is a short motorcycle taxi ride away, through the back sois.<br /><br />I am usually home before 4 pm. If i have a quick shower, i can be on a bus and on my way to The Mall, Ngam Wong Wan in no time. My gym is there and the food and shopping is as good as any in the centre of Bangkok.<br />I am one of 14 foreign teachers who are aged between early twenties to mid fourties, me being 25. We regulary go out as a group and have a great time. Whether it be at foreign owned restaurant or the local down the road.<br /><br />If you know people in the area, you will find that there is plenty to do, even into the wee hours of the night or possibly early morning. An example. On Thursday night i went out with a few of my collegues for a bite to eat and a few drinks at one of the thai owned places down the raod from my school. We ended up at the bar next door playing drinking games and singing with the local talent, who encourages us to get up on stage and sing with him.<br /><br />Then last night, (Sat 30/07) We all met up for a few frames at the bowling alley in The Mall. We left just before mid-night. A few of us continued on at a foreign restaurant on Chaeng Wattana Rd. I got home just after 3am. So you see, it is not all about knitting and an early night with a cuppa tea and a good book.<br /><br />I am not sure what this half closing day thing is though. Where did you hear that?<br />Best regards and keep up the good work</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Hello Philip<br />My name is Matthew Cottrell from the land of OZ. I am a co-ordinator at a suburb in the Nonthaburi province. It\'s a pleasure to introduce myself to a man that has kept me constantly side tracked from my work over the last few {7} years.This is in response for the request you made to all those people that live and work in this far and dull area to speak up and defend it. <br />So, in it\'s defence........let\'s see.<br /><br />I don\'t live in Nonthaburi myself. I live in Suparn mai near the airport. I have lived and worked all over Bangkok and found sanity far away from those strange fulang that give us good, hard working people a bad name. In all honest truth I think it\'s very strange to stay in Thailand for more than a year or so and still be attracted to Sukumvit and all the semi useless bums that float around the area. If people miss fulang so so much, go the f home and come here on holidays with a pocket full of money. There is a much better chance the girls will look better and show you a little respect again. The last comment I have to make is if you have been here a while and still haven\'t worked out that all the decent working girls {bargirls} don\'t live and work in this area! If a girl is dead ugly this is where she will most probably end up. I don\'t want to be too rude but the only worse place I have seen is the area around Suk soi 3. This is the so called low of the low. Only one and a half steps from soi 4.<br /><br />Now for Nonthaburi. There are disco\'s with real women who want to have fun. So far I have spotted about 4 on the main road. I believe it\'s called Ruttanatibet road. The music is so loud in these discos the lack of speaking Thai won\'t be a problem and we all know that if you see one shop/business that is doing well there must be 10 more in the same vacinity. As for small discrete karaoke bars with fine young women who will take care of all your needs without a bar fine. mmmm I also love the fact they don\'t speak English. Come on, who needs cheap compliments to know a women likes you and your money. Just giggle a bit, get me a beer and rub my back please. <br /><br />Back to self disiplined thoughts again. My teachers{ 2 girls} travel from Bangkapi near The Mall. They say the bus is about an hour or so. Not bad, because they go against the flow of traffic. For me coming from the airport it\'s about 40 to 50 minutes by motorbike, depending on the amount of adreniline pumping thru my body from the near misses.<br /><br />So for a the summary, it ain\'t that far mate. According to most Thai people it\'s the other side of the world. They think it\'s near the country called Fulangland. Get a map, get a bus and be a brave little cookie because there are some good jobs and good schools. Don\'t ask your bargirl now fiance is it far from sukumvit rd. She probably puts on make up and gets a taxi just to go to 7/11.<br /><br />Back to work now because my bloody silly American didn\'t come to work today. He forgot it was Wednesday. Then said he was to busy to come in. He is a resident of this fine suburb. I\'m sure his neighbor would love to see some more white handsome males around. Good luck Teacherrrr Matt</p>\n<hr />\n<p>My first ever teaching job was in Nonthaburi, working at a little language school near a crossroads, I remember, on the main road going North, a few kms outside town. Back in 1991, very little traffic came through, and it really did seem a rural backwater. Durian gardens abounded and most of the houses were wooden ones on stilts. Suburbia was spreading, though, and through that year the volume of traffic greatly increased. Entertainment was definitely limited, but I have fond memories of trips with students to Sampran Elephant Ground and Zoo, to a waxworks museum, as well as being treated to various banquets in riverside restaurants.<br /><br />In 1992, I felt the need for a bit more stimulation (it would have been good to have had a colleague) and moved to Bangkok. Teaching and management positions with several schools in several countries followed, and I am now a teacher trainer in the Middle East, doing a PhD. So there is life after Nonthaburi. My year there, though, was very pleasant.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Mark</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I have lived in Bangbuathong for two years working at a bilingual school.<br />I am 35 years old (not that old yet), been with the same employer for five years (no interview merry-go-round), no graduate degree (so, unqualified, maybe). I have parts of three different degree programs, never completed, and a swag of certificates and diplomas. I got my work permit five years ago before the government started seriously enforcing the degree and tefl agenda. I am married with one child of 2 and a half.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I find Nonthaburi to be an easy going place, definitely not party central by any means unless you like karaoke. Living here without a car would make things difficult. With a car northern and western Bangkok are easily accessible, and trips out of town to everywhere but south are easy. In heavy traffic I can get to Silom road in 50 minutes. Public transport takes about an hour and a half if you use the BTS.<br />I like it here, it\'s a good place for my family and I don\'t go out to the tourist or girl bar areas more than once every two months.<br />Nonthaburi rules. The air is cleaner and the traffic\'s better.<br />Oh, the extension to the MRT due for completion in 2009 (believe that when it happens) will really open up this area. I\'m planning to buy a house out here.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/nontzombie.jpg','2007-10-30 10:05:49',1,'2007-10-30 10:05:49','2009-10-30 02:02:50'),(811,21,'Who do you work with?','who-do-you-work-with','Recognize any of your colleagues from this list?','Nothing more than a playful poke at some of the teaching characters we\'ve all worked with down the years. Maybe you can even recognise yourself in there somewhere?','<p>We\'ve all worked with them from time to time. I just hope that you\'re not one of them - well, certainly in most cases. Many thanks to ajarn.com board members Canom Jim, Johnny Larue, Silvercharm, Peace Blondie, Dude, Louis, Amoxycillin, Just William, Mustaffah Pint, Mr Snafu, Judge Thread, Ian Mac, Bluebeard, Exiled Gooner, Bluffer, morpher, and Ijustwannateach,\n<p><strong>Mr Reception<br /></strong>This is the teacher who always seems to get on with the reception staff better than anyone else. In those final moments before class starts you\'ll find him giggling and gossiping with the Thai receptionists about what they did the previous night and where they had their hair hilighted. He\'s also the only farang who lends a shoulder to cry on when they have boyfriend problems. Not quite an out and out sissy, but there are certainly eyebrows raised at his unwillingness to join in the laddish banter about Saturday\'s rugger or the shortcomings of the new cleaning lady. He prefers to find out where the girls are going for lunch and invariably ends up tagging along to some footpath Khao Kaa Muu joint. When he needs the receptionists to do something for him, they literally fall over themselves to be his personal Maid Marian. When you want something done they ignore you completely.</p>\n<p><strong>The Borrower<br /></strong>\"Are you using your Interchange tape. I seem to have left mine somewhere?\" <br />\"Oh bloody hell, I\'ve forgotten me neck-tie, you haven\'t got a spare one in your desk have you?\" <br />\"You couldn\'t lend us a purple until tomorrow afternoon could you?\" <br />If you\'re familiar with any of these golden requests, then you work with \'the borrower\' He could earn eighty thousand baht a month and his lifestyle would still be as f***ed. Borrowers are always borrowers. And as you\'d expect - tapes are never returned, money is never paid back, and well, you\'ll certainly need to get your tie dry-cleaned.</p>\n<p><strong>Stressed Eric</strong> <br />This is the teacher for whom&nbsp;25 hours in a day still wouldn\'t be enough. He bursts into the teacher\'s room at one minute to nine demanding coffee, flashcards, and someone\'s help with his lesson plan. At lunchtime, he\'ll ask someone to \'get him something from the food court\' because he\'s strangely the only one still with a pile of test papers to plow through and just doesn\'t have time. If student reports need to be given in on Friday, he\'ll hand over a pile of dog-eared papers on Monday afternoon. I\'ve seen stressed Erics actually take off their necktie with the knot and loop still intact just so it will save them precious seconds in the morning.</p>\n<p><strong>Canom Jim<br /></strong>He gets on with all of the Thai staff so well that he never has to&nbsp;spend a baht on food. He is fed&nbsp;a daily diet&nbsp;of free&nbsp;curry and Chinese noodles, gaeng som served in little metal stacked lunch pails, and lashings of sticky rice desserts and canom that look like they should taste much nicer than they actually do. During evaluation season this factor generally overrides any concerns about his teaching.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Hustle and Mr Bustle <br /></strong>Was there ever such a pair! Mr Hustle - a former salesman - is always trying to sell you something, using his fast-paced sales patter to \'teach\' bemused students. Mr Hustle&nbsp;figures out the grading system and successfully exploits it to the&nbsp;Thai staff\'s satisfaction, though ultimately is rumbled after all the classes complain.</p>\n<p>Mr Bustle thunders through the staff room with the ground shaking as he walks. A professional teacher of 30 years, he has devised a system of grading that only he understands and involves mountains of tiny squares of paper and microscopic spreadsheets, which are shuffled and dealt like a master croupier. Can often be found despairing and clucking at official paperwork that interferes with his own. Perpetually adopts the stance of a&nbsp;blue-arsed fly. Eventually he\'s&nbsp;ordered to re-write the&nbsp;grading book after his mountain of paper contains too many low scores.</p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Know</strong><br />The ultimate professional who has been in Thailand about 10 minutes and proceeds to lecture all around him about Thai culture, teaching practices and methodologies, student discipline techniques, and of course - the parent, student, teacher partnership for learning. He usually lives in a bubble and doesn\'t let the real world in too often.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Dousafavorandleave</strong><br />This type of teacher cannot get along with any foreign teachers in his dept. He will lie about, intimidate, harass foreign staff, and do his best to make sure his manipulated desires are met. Believes that only he knows how to teach and other teachers, no matter their qualifications and experience, are not real teachers. He will come across as charming with Thai staff, will have pseudo-relationships with them, but will stab them in the back as well.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these pseudo-relations cast him as the \"Super Teacher\" in the eyes of many native staff members, allowing him to continue his false sense of power. This teacher is very insecure, cannot see his own faults, and will even use his students for his thirst of power and control. When finally confronted with higher powers than himself, this type of teacher will accuse those higher powers as being incompetent and useless (never mind while pointing one finger at others, three point right back to him). Afterwards, he\'ll run to Thai staff and claim he is being victimized. This teacher\'s satisfaction only comes from undermining those around him and creating daily problems. Nothing but a troublemaker.</p>\n<p><strong>Bob Native</strong><br />He\'s been here for 15 years, is married with&nbsp;two kids, speaks, reads and writes fluent Thai, knows how to work the system, keep the Thai staff sweet, and knows which wai to perform where and when. Pretty likeable but tends to bang on about the good old days of living in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Dirty Darren<br /></strong>Thinks he\'s fluent in Thai because he knows the words \'goo\' and \'mung\', and frequently likes showing off his skills.&nbsp;Has intimate relationships with some of&nbsp;his students and also&nbsp;does their tests for them. Frequently absent, Darren will punctuate his absence with foul whiskey breath appearances. Eventually gets carted off to IDC with a 6-month overstay, and the local mafia come after him about a gambling debt.</p>\n<p><strong>Fred Semester</strong><br />He doesn\'t like teaching but that\'s all he can do since he got a bargirl preggers. Hasn\'t the temperament to last longer than one semester in any one place, and so drifts from town to town on a bi-annual basis. Initially liked by the school for his clown-like antics in front of the kids, it\'s only a matter of time before questions about his constant red face and bloodshot eyes eventually leads them to the conclusion that he\'s constantly pissed and stoned. Fred is also prone to breaking the photocopier and blaming it on others.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Cool and Ms Unflappable</strong> <br />This charming duo is so thoroughly Thai-ized that their only motto is, \"Mai bpen rai,\" which they gladly translate to \"doesn\'t matter\" and \"not important\" and \"let\'s decide that later.\" They endear themselves to the Thais by adopting four-syllable, mis-pronounced fragments of the Thai language, and smiling incessantly. These folks could teach Eskimos how to be cool. Nothing bothers them - sudden changes of schedule, other people\'s absences, misbehaving students. Nothing.</p>\n<p>Of course, these \'teachers\' have no lesson plans, and they do very little teaching. They also don\'t get involved in office politics, and can never be arsed to insult anybody. So they\'re popular..........and they get rehired.</p>\n<p><strong>Too cool for school</strong> <br />This one is just off his TEFL course&nbsp;and straight&nbsp;out of Uni. He thinks he\'s got it all down pat and relies on his wit and repartee to get him through his lessons. He\'s out down Khao San every night chatting up students at Lava. He\'s constantly late but laughs this off. He\'s unprofessional but gets away with it purely because of his youth.</p>\n<p><strong>The Grammar Head <br /></strong>There you are preparing lessons in the relative peace and tranquility of the teacher\'s room - nose in a textbook, minding your own business, and then suddenly out of the blue \"Does anyone know if you can use this with a split infinitive?\" or \"I\'m compiling a list of binomials. Does anyone have anything to offer\"</p>\n<p>This man lives and breathes grammar rules and sentence structures . He can tell you what a predicate adjective is without even thinking about it. He can answer the age-old question of when to use gerunds or when to use infinitives without breaking sweat. But he couldn\'t tell you whose back-heeled goal relegated Manchester United to the second division in the early 70s.</p>\n<p><strong>Fred Realia<br /></strong>The teacher who shows up all other teachers by constantly dragging foreign objects into the staffroom with the intention of using them as teaching aids. His CELTA reference is his bible, and he worships the ground that Penny Ur and Mario Rivinludicrous walk on. His lesson plans are completed weeks in advance, and is constantly praised by Thai staff to the irritation of everyone else. He\'s thinking of writing a book or starting a website.</p>\n<p><strong>The question asker</strong><br />Picks up a pair of scissors and asks \"do these work\" Constantly in need of attention. \"Has anyone seen ............\" is another favourite. Also sits at the computer looking at news websites and saying things like \" I see they won then.\" or \"I can\'t believe that happened\". This person takes the word \'annoying\' to a whole new dimension.</p>\n<p><strong>Light-fingered Larry</strong> <br />This character is invariably the roving replacement teacher. The school/agency depends on his uncanny ability to be in the classroom of an ill/missing teacher in less than 30 minutes.</p>\n<p>After receiving a phone call at his dilapidated townhouse in Nonthaburi, this teacher usually exploits his transient-like status by wearing brightly colored short-sleeved shirts with the top three buttons undone. He is known to piss other teachers off by loudly declaring that he is off to the \"sports bar\" at the end of his last class, which usually happens to be just before lunch. Unfortunately, however, there is sometimes a sinister and rarely spoken about element of this fella\'s make-up. Occasionally after he has been in the teacher\'s room, items ranging from the Thai secretary\'s mobile phone to the head teacher\'s sandwiches go missing. No one ever points the finger at Light-fingered Larry, although drunken discussions at the staff Christmas party usually provide a good indication of what everyone thinks.</p>\n<p><strong>Tarquin and Flossie The Backpackers<br /></strong>They arrive as a couple, demand dual jobs, and will be gone in&nbsp;four months. They spend every second weekend somewhere exotic like Samui, spend the latter half of the semester looking at internet jobs pages for when they return to the west...teaching \'not really being their thing\' . Make no attempt at grading books. Complain that nobody told them about&nbsp;anything...like public holidays or giving students tests.</p>\n<p><strong>Hong Nam John</strong><br />Nobody knows what he looks like because he\'s rarely seen. The threat of extra assignments means he\'s invisible. He supposedly teaches a full load, but is usually busy dropping a full load while reading the Bangkok post in his \"office\".</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Mysterioso <br /></strong>Like Melchizedek of old, this man appears on the scene for a brief time, with absolutely no paper trail that tells from whence he came. His university diploma? That\'s in the post from Lord Shaftesbury, post-haste, any decade now. His TEFL certification? Got lost in the Irawaddy during a trek with Aung Sahn Suu Kyi. That letter of recommendation from his prior school? He\'ll get that out of the backpack that he left in Khanchanaburi when the lead singer of that famous rock group....</p>\n<p>Nor can one figure out what this fellow has actually done on this planet since birth, because other than the amazing tales and name-dropping, somehow the actual title of his alma mater is....missing. His origin is about as vague as \"America; I\'m American.\" Yes, and so are the Inuits and the Tierra del Fuego-ites. Pick a city in the USA and he\'ll have a drunken story about it, which he probably cribbed from \"On the Road,\" but try to get specifics out of him, such as the name of the main street in that city, and suddenly he has to go to the toilet.</p>\n<p>And like Melchizedek, this character vanishes as suddenly and totally as he appeared. No \"exit stage left,\" no good-byes. You\'ll be lucky to run into him at something like Sean Penn\'s cocktail party, where he\'ll have an entirely new ID. Oh, as a teacher of English, you ask? Scared to death of grammar. His lesson plan for a 50 minute class, if forced to come up with one, will be five lines long, based on the textbook. The students don\'t like him, but somehow he\'s not so bad that they\'ll actively complain. Nice guy, though. Maybe he\'s a spy for the KGB or SAVAK or SLORC.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Deathwish</strong><br />Is absolutely incapable of cordial relationships between either farangs or Thais. Turns up to school on the first day of semester sporting&nbsp;two black eyes and broken fingers and proceeds to tell all and sundry how firstly he had a beating from the biggest farang in town, and then decides to try and leave a sing-a-song shack with out paying for his private singing lessons. Doesn\'t quite get as far as the&nbsp;second day of semester.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Scammer</strong><br />Pleads poverty to get a pay advance from his latest school before disappearing never to be seen again. Oh, maybe seen briefly in the staffroom....... blagging money.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr Showpiece</strong><br />The teacher that the management always wheel out to show off to parents and MOE inspectors. A sacrificial lamb both hated and appreciated by the other natives.</p>\n<p><strong>The Weekend Warrior</strong> <br />The teacher who comes in on Saturdays and Sundays to \"help out\", who either doesn\'t teach full-time or is teaching elsewhere during the week and is \"moonlighting\" at your place on the weekend. Although this teacher needs to teach weekends to make ends meet, they never seem to know when it is pay-day!</p>\n<p><strong>Mummy Teacher <br /></strong>The teacher who has a full-time job being a Mum and comes in to school in the mornings to help teach the young ones. In it for the love, not the money [always the most dangerous type]</p>\n<p><strong>The Cover Monster</strong> <br />The moment the headie rolls into the staff room with the days casualty list and periods available,&nbsp;cover monsters&nbsp;immediately drop what they are doing and grab their timetable to see how many lessons they can cram in today. This is done to give the illusion they are a team player and helping out the school but the reality is they just want more money and are prepared to kill to stop others getting the extra work. Unfortunately, their teaching method is to show a video or hand out&nbsp;colouring-in sheets and sit in the corner doing the crossword or reading text messages</p>\n<p><strong>The Apologiser</strong> <br />Always starts a sentence with, \"I\'m sorry but ...\" and then proceeds to ask a question to which the answer is so obvious - even to those teachers who\'ve only been in the school for 10 minutes. They usually have few friends and remind me of those saddo types who spend their free time propping up bars and trying to make conversation with anyone who\'ll listen.</p>\n<p><strong>The Screamer</strong> <br />This teacher has a limited vocabulary of Thai words and thinks that by screaming them at young students he will achieve his desired discipline objectives. The words are usually the Thai equivalents of quickly, 2-lines, young boy, student, sit-down and quiet. As this teacher is invariably new to Thailand, he often suffers from a form of classroom shock, leading to crazed fits of screaming in his classroom, mostly at students standing on chairs with their hands on their heads.</p>\n<p>These fits not only scare the clappers out of students and Thai staff, but also are usually sufficient to promote discussions amongst other foreign staff regarding the chap\'s mental health. The screamer usually means well, is a nice bloke, and quietly respected by other teachers for his harsh disciplining of students.</p>\n<p><strong>The Chronic Complainer</strong><br />This person sits in the teacher\'s room and complains. About everything. The students not doing an activity, the students not respecting the teachers, a particular student who progresses slowly, tardiness, unruly behavior, cell phones in class, the food in the school canteen. Then there\'s the moans about the administrators and the manager.&nbsp;Complaining can bring the mood down. It also spreads like a virus. But year after year, these chronic complainers stay.</p>\n<p><strong>Sydney sexpat</strong> <br />The guy who rolls in every morning smelling of Spey Royal and regales his colleagues loudly during assembly about last night\'s sordid&nbsp;threesome with internationally understood hand and body gestures.</p>\n<p><strong>Somchai Limpwrist</strong><br />The hormonally challenged local teacher who spends all day loudly flirting on his mobile and gossiping frantically about the farang teachers uninhibited by any known facts.</p>\n<p><strong>The Singing Nun</strong> <br />This Filipino\'s dreams of a successful career as a singer in the resident house band at Spasso have been laid to rest and she\'s now committed to saving money. How and why she lives on a grand total of 4,725 baht a month is never fully disclosed. She\'s good friends with every other Filipino within a 100-mile radius of Bangkok and spends her free time meeting up with each and every one of them. No boyfriend however. She\'s saving herself for Jesus.</p>\n<p><strong>Simple Sid</strong> <br />This part-time teacher/clown is a feature of most Thai schools/language agencies. The two key prerequisites for this teacher\'s position are (a) Thai nationality and (b) being a blood relative of the school owner. This teacher\'s key responsibilities include covering classes, although only in the rare situation that the roving replacement teacher was run over by a tuk-tuk on the way to the school, and preparing school policy relative to the foreign teachers department.</p>\n<p>This teacher has usually been educated in the U.S., although clearly spent his/her time abroad socialising with other Thai and perhaps Chinese students as he/she has absolutely no idea about how to communicate with westerners. The male version often assumes a nickname such as Sid, which is invariably derived from the name of his favourite football player/coach.</p>\n<p>It is usually very clear that this teacher has been over-indulged by his/her rich family since day-dot and is, as a result, as thick as two short planks. At the end of the day, this teacher would probably be happier selling ice cream in his/her local moobaan, but such employment would cause massive loss of face for his/her family.</p>\n<p><strong>Scarface Sam</strong> <br />He comes into the office the day after calling in sick with a large bandage on his face claiming that he \"fell in the bathroom.\" Through office gossip the other teachers find out that the girlfriend he unceremoniously dumped showed up at his new bachelor pad and slashed him with a box cutter. It wouldn\'t matter except that he may be the DOS or academic manager, and thus a (cracked) pillar of the community.</p>\n<p><strong>Henrietta High-up <br /></strong>She\'s the classic teacher or head teacher who talks so highly of the bosses it forces you to vomit. You know she\'s lying through her teeth and that the employers are unscrupulous crooks. She basically will do anything to move up the EFL career ladder and it shows. What the bosses don\'t know is that she moonlights for their #1 competitor in the evenings! Still, her impeccable taste in clothes, ability to speak Thai, and talent for doing nothing shows she\'s the right candidate for the job.</p>\n<p><strong>Michelle Moustache</strong> <br />English backpacker studenty type in need of a mach 3 and a rocket up the arse. Incessantly whining know-it-all voice, dead keen on interacting with locals, which often means shagging motorcycle taxi drivers or beach boys. Wants to get close to Thais while wearing a singlet and thongs in the classroom. Has a nose stud. Gets all the high-paying jobs cos she\'s blonde and sounds it. Doesn\'t know an infinitive from an initiative</p>\n<p><strong>The Siamese Twin</strong> <br />He comes in and immediately&nbsp;his phone rings and its the little trophy girlfriend who doesn\'t know how to get out of the flat and asks for advice on how to open the door. Advice is given (loudly so all can hear), the phone goes down. A few minutes later and the phone goes again and this time its \"what bus do I get to get to college?\" ( she has only been going there for 2 years but never mind ). \"What should I have for lunch/dinner/snack?\" invariably follows.</p>\n<p>The phone constantly goes throughout the day as&nbsp;\'the trophy girlfriend\'&nbsp;is totally incapable of making any decision without consulting the boyfriend who publicly puts the phone down with a shake of the head and a muttered \"useless thai girls!\" but secretly is overjoyed as it reinforces his secret view of himself as a knight in shining armor who is riding to the rescue and is indispensable to the world at large. He also spends all his free time with her and goes to the pub with her as well ( sometimes wearing her uniform !)</p>\n<p><strong>Old Hand Pete</strong> <br />This teacher lives in a matrix of windows and Pepsi max. This is not because he is an Internet junkie, but more to do with his yearning to be everything that is Thai. The windows he encounters are usually of the freshly polished type, enabling him to check his latest hairdo and necktie at a flash. The Pepsi max is consumed in order to maintain his rat-like figure.</p>\n<p>It is not rare for this teacher to assume head teacher status quickly, despite his inability to earn any respect amongst long-term teaching staff. His regular appearance at haunts on both Patpong 1 and 2, use of school maids as weekend fun, and previous run-ins with crazed Thai sheilas leads to much criticism from his peers relative to his fondness of wearing Thai-style shirts on Friday. In reality, this teacher clearly needs a kick up the arse and should take some action towards reversing his current debt situation in his homeland.</p>\n<p><strong>The Minimalist</strong> <br />Now, we all like to find ways not to work too hard- but the Minimalist is a master. He\'ll be the first one to find someone to take over his class (for no extra pay) and the last to volunteer. He\'s the one who\'s out sick so he can go on his 5-day beach holiday. The students are lucky if he shows up only 10 minutes late with the papers he copied last year for a subject that\'s even vaguely like the one he\'s teaching. One of his master moves is bait-and-switch- pretend to be volunteering in a meeting to do something with another teacher, then abandon ship when the other teacher has&nbsp;committed. Grades? That\'s what dartboards and random functions are for. Strangely, he seems to hang onto his jobs- possibly because of his excellent skill at flattery and snitching.</p>\n<p><strong>The Silent Guru <br /></strong>Comes into the teachers room everyday, never says hello to anyone, but always speaks to you if you speak to him first. Has a few teacher groupies who usually sit with him and ask him questions about life. Is full of hard-won worldly experience - some quite horrific and painful. Any story you may have, he has one even more terrible and astounding. Always pleasant and accommodating, but is rumoured to have a psychotically bad temper. Never goes out with the other teachers. Usually enjoys a puff of Mary every now and then. I seem to have one of these in every school I go to.</p>\n<p><strong>Quincy A. Cessment</strong> <br />This teacher is bedazzled by the need to assess student levels. \"How can we help the students improve if we don\'t know where they\'re at already?\" This is the guy that makes teachers meetings five times longer by insisting that everyone practice marking sample essays. The problem is that when you inherit any of his former students in a subsequent term, you realize that he apparently spent all his time assessing them, and none actually teaching them. It will only take you about five seconds to assess his former students. They are crap.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/colinhunt.jpg','2011-07-29 03:09:48',1,'2011-07-29 03:09:48','2011-07-29 17:05:49'),(812,21,'The evil expatriates','the-evil-expatriates','What the hell do you think you\'re looking at?','Ever had a farang teacher look you up and down on the sky-train?

Is there anywhere on earth where there exists a more vicious and spiteful rumor mill? where there is such a petty \'every man for himself\' attitude? and where you can find yourself walking nonchalantly in a city surburb and be stared at with contempt by a fellow countryman. This all sounds very dramatic and perhaps I\'m approaching it from the wrong angle, but this \'be suspicious of your fellow man\' way of thinking is definitely out there. I wondered if it existed in other SE Asian cities - Ho Chi Minh, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong? Did other Bangkok long-termers agree with me?</p>\n<p>You\'ll overhear one man tell another that a new law is coming into existence that requires all foreigners to report to immigration on the last day of the month. You\'ll see advice on discussion forums warning people not to go to this place or that place, or cross the Cambodian border at your peril, because you\'ll be shot on sight. 99% of it is absolute crap, but people take it on board and do unhealthy amounts of worrying. Why do we feel the need to spread negative rumor and gossip and treat our TEFL brethren with such disdain?</p>\n<p>Keen to see if others shared my views, I threw up the topic on the This is Thailand discussion forum. Here\'s a selection of the responses.</p>\n<p><strong>Smiley</strong> had the following to say about his own little corner of China - \"I\'m in China right now, in a city named Cheng du, and I have to say it\'s somewhat the same here. It seems, more often than not, that encounters with a fellow \"laowai\"(apparently the most polite word for foreign devil in the Chinese language) tend to be less than warm. I have yet to extract a return nod or smile from any laowai that I have encountered. I\'m at a loss as to why and I have a degree in psychology. Although I may have missed the \"SE Asian ex-pat behavioral analysis\" class.</p>\n<p>Correct me if I\'m wrong but it would be my understanding that the majority of long-stay foreigners you meet in all of SEA would be teachers and it would stand to reason that teachers, qualified or not are going to be people with at least no aversion to helping their fellow man, and one would think they are the kind of people who actually enjoy it. So in a nutshell this is what leaves me wanting for some plausible explanation as to why they treat each other so suspiciously\"</p>\n<p><strong>Shaggy</strong> is also an expat living in China. \"I live in Shanghai supposedly the most \'cosmopolitan\' of Chinese cities. There are 1000\'s of Laowai\'s here. This is the way it works - if I see another foreigner we might politely nod at each other, sometimes say hello or ignore each other. It depends which part of the city you\'re in. If I\'m in the boonies I nod and say hello - If I\'m in downtown Shanghai I ignore \'em\"</p>\n<p><strong>Eltel</strong>, like me, is confused by the whole atmosphere within the Bangkok ex-pat community. <br />I don\'t know what it is. Must be not wanting any competition whether for jobs or women. In all my years here, I\'ve never had any serious altercations with Thai guys. It\'s always been with fellow Western ex-pats. The older ones tend to be the worst. \"You looking at my \'ho?\" type of thing. Being a \'teacher\' doesn\'t help. After being in front of a class for a few months and getting far more \'respect\' than they ever got back home, many English teachers let it go to their heads and suddenly start to think that their shit don\'t smell. Then being called \'hansum\', whether by their students or BG\'s, condescending arrogance quickly worms it\'s way into their personality.</p>\n<p><strong>Sero</strong> offers an interesting analysis. \"Does it stem from insecurity ? Perhaps if someone from a class-ridden society that has felt put-upon for most of their life comes to Thailand and acquires status as \'The Farang\' they then fear the loss of that ?<br />As an expat in Spain you are of little interest to the locals and can derive little benefit from it. Up-country teachers in Thailand speak of being treated like kings.<br />So : low self-esteem, insecurity, fear of loss of the only social standing the person has ever had. And perhaps, just perhaps, a little residual sexual guilt ? If the hostility of the farang is born of insecurity then what is its source ?<br />Is it the subconscious knowledge that he is living a lie ? That Khun Ajarn, looked up to by (and therefore able to look down on) Thais, is unworthy of this respect ? And he knows it.<br />Is it the fear you will see behind his carefully constructed facade ? Where the Thais see a professional man to be admired you might see a drunken slutmeister ?<br />Of course you may see nothing of the sort. But if the hostile farang has repressed this miserable self-image then your presence may trigger its recall.<br />So, in short, its the return of the repressed. They left the West to escape the way they felt about themselves. And the presence of other falangs acts as an uncomfortable reminder.</p>\n<p><strong>Marko</strong>, our man from Samut Prakarn, adds his two cents.<br />1)if we\'re talking (mainly) about blokes, then the whole thailand \"playground-full of bewdiful laydeez\" thing plays a big role. Blokes without (many) women from their native country around creates a slightly more primal beefy world, which seems to flush primal beefy social skills to the surface. ie. acting like a complete tit.</p>\n<p>2) there\'s a kind of second psychological skin that ex-pats seem to have to develop to protect them in their newly-chosen \'homeworld\' . i reckon this kind of slowly replaces what was originally underneath, so they\'re over defensive to strangers of their \"own kind\".</p>\n<p><strong>Jon</strong> chips in to say that leopards don\'t change their spots.<br />\"There are plenty of similar obnoxious people these expats have left behind in their own countries, and, rather than being changed by Bangkok I reckon most were like this before they arrived. I think it\'s to do with Bangkok attracting more than its fair share of mostly male losers, failures, criminals, sleazebags and other pondlife, running away from a past they\'d rather forget, to a life they wouldn\'t tell mummy about, so that they present a higher proportion in the resident population than they would in most other places. And farangs know that, so they either fear or don\'t trust other farangs that they don\'t know well. Anyone with common sense, drive, reliability and presentability can make a modest success of themselves in Thailand, as it isn\'t that hard to shine like a jewel amongst this pile of human waste\"</p>\n<p><strong>Cortezcortez</strong> considers Bangkok a paradise compared to what he left behind. <br />This is basic chimpanzee self-preservation instinct. Trust only those from your group. However, unlike chimps we do have the ability to recognise that some strangers may be alrite, and thus the group expands.<br />Whilst there is a general \'Oi!\' mentality about in places, I\'ve personally found BKK more enjoyable than home because you can meet a lot of people here from all over the world, many of who become good friends. Back home, the number of new friends acquired in say, one year, is pretty close to zero, although my home is rather different than BKK in size and diversity.</p>\n<p><strong>Merlin</strong> nods in agreement.<br />I agree with the wise words of Eltel, Sero and others who point to a version of the imposter syndrome at work in the surface hostility. Mt White Boy is all hopped up on this new and improved version of themselves courtesy of the ever-flattering Thais, and he knows that a careful look at them will reveal the sad truth behind the visage. There\'s also a dose of \"hey, you, get off of my cloud\" going on too. This is supposed to be a far away and exotic place -- Xanadu of sorts -- that must retain some cachet. Meeting other expats who have clued into the benefits of living here sort of diminishes the cleverness of our unfriendly white boy.</p>\n<p><strong>Eltel</strong> re-enters the arena and states that we could be blowing things out of proportion.<br />I think the whole \'expat pondlife\' argument is overblown and partially the result of certain expats putting down their own kind in order to gain some kind of superiority. It\'s very easy to denigrate the \'septic\', the \'brit\', the \'aussie\' etc. as losers or failures simply because they have chosen to live and work outside their home country and to make one feel a little better about oneself. See some previous posts/threads.</p>\n<p>I\'ve made more friends on the Bkk-Butterworth visa-run train than in all my years in the UK. There\'s always a few dickheads but they come in all nationalities. It\'s just that Brits and Yanks make up the vast majority of expats. I\'d say 90% plus of expats I\'ve come into contact with in LOS are thoroughly decent chaps (even English teachers!). Yes, a few here are running away from something or have something to hide but I believe they make up a very small percentage of the total ex-pat population here.</p>\n<p>What about <strong>Smitty</strong>? He considers it a city thing.<br />I\'m from a large city in the US, and I traveled quite a bit there prior to coming here. I\'ve lived and worked in several states and I can say for a fact that behavior is different in larger cities than smaller ones,(at least in the US) and that seems to be true for LOS as well. I lived in Khon Kaen for about 3 months when I arrived this trip, and both the \'feel\' of the city and the way the average Thai responded to me was slightly warmer than here in BKK, while most of the farangs there were just as stand-offish as most here. On the other hand, when walking down the street, it\'s hard to stop and make instant friends. Meeting someone in a pub, where both of you are seated and relaxed, sipping a brew, is far more conducive to conversation than passing on the street. The same person who may give you what you perceive as a suspicious look may be quite friendly if you get a few minutes to chat with them. Keep in mind that everyone\'s facial expressions are subject to YOUR interpretations (or mis-interpretations). One of the teachers at my school is dark-visaged, and somewhat of a serious guy. Comes from being an ex-diving instructor, where mistakes mean death, not a poor grade on a paper. When he looks serious or is working, people assume him to be pissed off just because he isn\'t smiling. But he is one of the warmest and friendliest people I\'ve met here.</p>\n<p>That said, I may be different. When I\'m out, I TRY to make eye-contact with ex-pats, because I view each as a potential friend, with whom I can at least communicate more easily than with the Thai folks I meet. Quite a few are as described here, aloof and suspicious. However, (a plug here) I went to O\'Leary\'s pub a few months ago for the open stage sessions they hold on Sunday night, and I found everyone to be quite friendly and enjoyable. Brits, Aussies, Irish, Yanks, Kiwis, everyone was there for the music,the beer and the food. No one minded that it was my first night there, all were cool. As a final shot though, I wonder about all those who denounce the city as being full of \"losers n\' lowlifes\"....if ya try, ya can find them everywhere.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/drac.jpg','2006-04-11 11:26:06',1,'2006-04-11 11:26:06','2009-10-30 03:03:07'),(813,21,'Thai teaching assistants','thai-teaching-assistants','Angels from the planet Xerox or Satan\'s snitch?

I have been in Thailand for 4 years now and have always had an assistant, and I wouldn\'t work without one. Obviously they vary but my experiences have generally been good, in fact they end up being a good friend and very helpful.\n<p>One though got sacked for smelling of booze after she had left my services and I did hear that she told my boss I hit the kids when I never hit children. I think this was an excuse to take the pressure off her. My current assistant is fantastic and not only helps me in the classroom, but with many life problems too - like paying the electricity bill at 7-11 (i never knew that) and we now teach privately together - she find the kids and arranges the money, time etc and assists me teaching.</p>\n<p>Generally I use them for;<br />1. translation to check students understanding of what they just said. After 6 months of teaching the kids were great at speaking, unfortunately they didn\'t know what they were saying<br />2. I give out gold stars continually in the class. She manages that and stamps them up on the board.<br />3. She acts as an excellent buffer between the school and me. Stating that falang do not work weekends and that they don\'t like being disturbed at home. Also to deflect \'krooyais\' desire for me to attend boring speeches and crap self-gratifying presentations where most folk look asleep and extremely bored.</p>\n<p>We also have loads of fun and she\'s great for ideas in a tight spot. Highly recommended.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Jimothy</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Great idea for a topic. I\'m sure a lot of teachers have some cracker stories.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Well mine goes like this...</p>\n<p>I taught at a well known school in Bangkok. Well known because the owners daughter was a politician in Taksin\'s Thai Rak Thai party. The school it\'s self was great. A great staff, great environment to work in, and amazing classrooms and resources. While it wasn\'t perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it was, by Thai standards, quite a good deal. That is, unless you took my Thai assistant teacher out of the equation.</p>\n<p>Her name was Apple (is it OK to name her? she probably can\'t read English anyway). She was a 30 something Thai lady, most often seen scuttling around the school with a vague, dull-witted expression. It was as if, even she, sometimes struggled to remember her job description. And this of course was the problem, she really did struggle with her role in the classroom.</p>\n<p>Apples hobbies included getting students to ask the farang teachers if they could watch DVDs. For her to watch of course. Constant interference in the classroom. Constant undermining of the western staff. An almost mystic ability to do the exact opposite of what she was asked to do, and coloring in activities.</p>\n<p>Quite often, she would disrupt the rhythm of your lesson so much it would take a good 20 minutes to get your class under control. She would start handing out work books in the middle of class for no good reason, start talking to the kids in Thai, give the students answers to questions they were unable, or too lazy to do. At full power, her mere presence was enough to destroy a carefully planed lesson.</p>\n<p>Apple had been working the same job at the same school for around 10 years. She once told one of the western teachers that her job was to \"control the farang teachers\".</p>\n<p>Anyway mate, that\'s my story. Hope you like it. If you want any extra info just send me an email.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Regards, Mark</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>For two years I taught at Chinoroteittayalai School in Thonburi. This is an ordinary government high school (M 1 - 6) with a mostly working class student body. During the first year, I was assigned to both the Intensive English Program (50%) -- a tuition based program--and to the regular program (50%). In my second year, I was full time in the Intensive English Program. Thai law requires that a Thai teacher be in the classroom when a farang is teaching. So, over my two years, I experienced many Thai \"assistants.\" This letter is about only one of them and may be a bit different than others you will receive.</p>\n<p>\n<p>For most of my classes, Ajan Sayan was the Thai Teacher assigned to me. She was in no way my \"assistant\". She was my co-teacher, my equal and very much my mentor. In every sense of the word, she was, and still is, my colleague. At the onset of our professional relationship, i recognized that any successes I would have in the classroom depended not only on my skill as a teacher but also my ability to capture and utilize her knowledge--what she knew that I did not. Perhaps this may sound arrogant but... I am good. Ajan Sayan made me better.</p>\n<p>Though I have moved on and am working in an international school in Chiang Mai, I still hear from some of my Chinorot students and I do miss them. I also miss working with Ajan Sayan. I would not be where I am today if it were not for her skill and guidance.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Brian Quinby</strong><br />College &amp; University Counselor<br />American Pacific International School.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Remember \"dwarf tossing?\" I could toss one of these bitches much farther than I\'d ever trust them.<br /><br />The Thai class-room supervisor is decidedly some sort of wannabe CIA operative on mission to access the foreign teacher\'s cerebral cortex and download perverted information telepathically...be that projected information or extracted...it\'s all the same in the Thai to foreigner communication...which doesn\'t seem to have much to do with the actual words.<br /><br />They\'ve been obsessed about paper more than anybody I\'d ever imagined. It goes way beyond the drive to reduce consumption or save money...it\'s clearly representative of some larger issue here. Perhaps these women are so bent on controlling men that they\'ve developed little games and rules about everything and anything. Maybe making copies at the wrong time of day really represents some sort of deep personal flaw rooting back to when I was twelve. Similar to the skin rash that I got that was caused by a black haired caterpillar walking across my backyard. Or the dream of a snake that I had, and how that means that I\'m going to meet my true love. Or maybe I\'m just a speed freak because I drink a cup of coffee in the morning.<br /><br />Who knows. It\'s obvious that education is secondary to something else in the Thai Education system...and that\'s just way too ironic for me. \n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Hello Phil. I hope it\'s not too late to contribute to your discussion on teaching assistants. For what it\'s worth, here\'s my two cents.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I currently have four (Yes, four!) Korean teaching assistants in the public middle-school where I\'m now teaching. Two for the grade one students and two for the grade three students. All four are women, single, and a couple of them are almost pretty. They are neither angels from planet Xerox nor are they Satan\'s snitch. But let\'s give them time. I just started teaching there on April 24th. They have to be in the classroom with me because it is mandated by the Provincial Office of Education. But they probably really don\'t want to be there. So, what should I do with them?</p>\n<p>The other day one of them was nice enough to sit next to me and say, \"I\'m your assistant teacher for the 1--1, 1--3, 1--5, and 1--7 classes. How would you like me to help you?\" How would you like me to help you? Wow! I never expected that. I spent the next few days thinking about it. How can Korean (or Thai) teaching assistants help a native speaking foreigner? First, let\'s stop calling them assistants and start calling and treating them as equal partners in the classroom. I say this not out of a sense of some grand or magnanimous gesture, or a naive proponent of the \"We are the World\" teaching philosophy. Being partners with your Korean or Thai co-teacher is a real \"on the ground\" solution to many of the problems faced by all teachers in both public and private schools. It also shows some solidarity in dealing with the problems.</p>\n<p>My co-teachers and I have two basic and very real issues that we deal with on a daily basis: The language barrier and classroom management. My classes are only 45 minutes long, so it helps to keep the modelling and concept checking to a minimum, even though modelling and concept checking is very important. What is not understood can be quickly translated. I am also dealing with 35--40 students in every class with an age range between 13--15. Discipline can, and often is, a problem--- especially with the boys. My partners help to keep the students in line so that they can work together on group tasks. They also help with monitoring and correcting.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is not easy for me. (I can hear the managers at AUA laughing already.) Like Phil at ajarn.com, up until now I\'ve also never had the pleasure of working with co-teachers. But it\'s a learning experience for me and I\'m glad I\'m going through it. And I\'m sure it\'s not easy for Korean or Thai teachers too. We come from two different worlds and have very different experiences. We also have very different ideas about teaching English.</p>\n<p>That\'s why it\'s also important to keep your co-teachers at arms-length while emphasising a businesslike approach. There will be disagreements with co-teachers on how best to teach the students. I, for one, do not want to fall into the trap of telling or advising my partners on how to teach, and I expect the same courtesy in return. So translating, classroom management, monitoring, and correcting, are the ways in which native speaking English teachers and non-native speaking English teachers can work together to achieve a common goal.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Steve Schertzer, esl_steve@excite.com</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Hey,<br />Being new to teaching I had the joy of working with an evil child loving,farang teacher hating assistant.She helped me a few times in the classroom but spent most of the time playing with the kids or making them sing and dance to loud Thai hip-hop.I tried to get her to help me with crowd control when the kids got a bit hostile,but all she seemed to do was sit back and let me deal with it.In the end I had a plan to report her or throw her off the third floor.I did nothing and left the school with a slight taste of blood after biting on my tongue so hard.<br />Cheers, <strong>Chris Bell</strong> in Ayutthaya</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I wanted to throw my two satang in on the teacher assistant discussion. I read a great interview with the former Superintendent of Nogales Unified School District in Arizona, USA. A district of 7000 students, most of them are ESL due to the fact that Nogales literally straddles the Mexican Border.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Over a three year period, the community saw dramatic increases in student test scores and achievement. When asked why this occurred, the first reason he gave was that he fired the assistants, and then was able to pay the teacher\'s more. This resulted in better quality applicants, and a higher retention rate.</p>\n<p>My personal experience has been that they are not very useful. I\'ve seen them come in thirty minutes late, eating a bag of food from Jack In The Box. They also tend to be underachievers, who are ready to tell you the students \"can\'t\" do something.</p>\n<p>Student-teachers are a different story. Fresh out of college with B.ed.s, they seem to always be ready. When I worked as a Substitute, I would usually just put the Student teacher in charge, and just take it easy for 131 U.S per day.</p>\n<p>Kind Regards,<br /><strong>Mark Kling</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/thaiassist.jpg','2008-08-03 11:35:05',1,'2008-08-03 11:35:05','2009-10-30 03:03:06'),(814,21,'Go on, give us a job!','go-on-give-us-a-job','No degree?

We asked for your first lesson in Thailand memories. Were you as cool as a cucumber....or absolutely bricking it?','<p><strong>Bangkok Phil</strong><br />I remember my first lesson in Thailand very clearly. It was in the early 90\'s and I had joined Berlitz to do purely a bit of part-time evening work. I\'m guessing that it was about 6.15 in the evening and armed with all the knowledge that a two-hour training session on the Berlitz method can give you, I found myself standing up in front of four middle-aged Thai-Chinese brothers and sisters from a family textile business. Basically I was teaching them the difference between uncountable and countable nouns by showing them a picture of empty glasses and bottles half-filled with water (a few glasses, a little water, etc, etc) Well, it seemed useful at the time. I do remember that they were very low level students. Berlitz also had a method of filling out the student cards with the purpose of learning English. In the case of these four guys, it was the irritatingly vague \'for travel\'. I pondered on the fact that when you\'re standing in the middle of Belgrade railway station and wondering where the hell your platform is, then the ability to say \'Mr Manzini has a few cigarettes\' struck me as missing the mark somewhat. Anyway, they complemented me on a \'wonderful\' lesson and they were never seen again.</p>\n<p><strong>Haltest</strong><br />My first ever class was teaching IELTS. No problem teaching Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening skills with no idea at all what the hell IELTS was. It was a three hour class when the most I had ever taught before on my celta was 40 minutes or an hour. <br />Lucky I had had a few days to read through the textbook, but the students still knew more about the exam than I did. Got through the first hour and a half ok, scuttled off to graba coffee and extend the 15 minute break for as long as I could and wished I could extend the break to cover the rest of the class. <br />Eventually I had to go back and all the students were already sitting back at their desks waiting for me. I went in played a game or 2 with them and somehow survived to the end of the class. Then the next day I had to go back and do it again.</p>\n<p><strong>Unwell</strong><br />The first time i was put in front of students with a whiteboard behind me could certainly not be classed as a lesson and the only thing learnt was by me- this gig sucks! <br />I was terrified, sweating, couldn\'t talk any slower than a race horse commentator and pretty much forgot the English language. a horrible experience that only good people could get me to repeat. i did and it was little better but slowly, and slowly it got better. Now I grandstand in front of students and (most of the time) i love it!</p>\n<p><strong>Keegan</strong><br />M2 students in a gov\'t school. Knocked on the door on Friday. Told to start the following Monday. At that stage I hadn\'t even done my TESOL. Nervous as shit, and so were the kids. Taught the verb to be for about 20 minutes, then went to hangman. <br />Here I was with my BA (Eng), never having taught in a school before, trying to occupy an hour. <br />Don\'t think I\'ve ever studied as hard as I did for the next three weeks. BA in Eng! Nothing compared to trying to bluff my way through that first lesson.</p>\n<p><strong>LDMA<br /></strong>On first coming to Thailand some 3.5 years ago, I arrived too late for the main hiring season so all the good jobs in Songkhla had already gone. I ended up at this private \"polytechnic\" who only got the students no-one else wanted and paid 200 baht per hour for a grand total of 12 hours per week. <br />Confronted by 40 x 21 year old students with very little ability in English, I decided I wanted to learn their names, so I decided to use my newly-acquired digital camera to take pics of all the students Each student had to come out to the front write their name on a bit of paper and tell me their names, age, where they live, their favourite colour and their favourite food before snapping them. <br />The first student announced her name, and said her favourite colour was \"brue colour\" and her favourite food was \"noodle.\" <br />10 students later, we hadn\'t moved from blue or noodles. 10 students later we had an extra item on the menu \"som tam\" (hadn\'t a clue what it was), and finally I clicked on at the total lack of imagination and banned repeated words. Wasn\'t a disaster, but that one class taught me 50% of what I needed to know about Thai students. <br />Also note from the pic below that asking students to write their names on pieces of paper for photographing is a silly idea, as they all wrote their name tiny, and the flash rendered the signs invisible...the next class I got them to write their names on the board</p>\n<p>M4 class. 1999. Introducing oneself (speaking). I had no idea that their English was THAT bad. <br />I asked them to write something about themselves and I scratched my head when they would end some of their sentences with a tag phrase \"yes or no?\" (chai mai?) only for me to realize that what they meant was something like \"...isn\'t it?\"</p>\n<p><strong>Beausawnlaaw</strong><br />It was in 1995 at ECC Nontaburi. Had to teach present continuous tense to about 6, 18 year old beautiful girls. I was terrified as I didn\'t know what the hell it was until the night before. I remember practising in my shit guest house on KSR after half a dozen Changs myself miming \"driving a tuk tuk\", \"eating somtam\", \"singing\" etc. <br />It was a terrible lesson, but the girls had a good laugh and one of them started going out with my mate, lucky child of questionable parentage!</p>\n<p><strong>Peace Blondie<br /></strong>More like a demo but my first real class in Thailand. It must have been the class of 50 M1 kids. I taught Sunday School to that age group for about ten years, had preached sermons, taught medical doctors and tax technicians, etc., so there wasn\'t enough stage fright. I had a couple of ideas from TEFL school (was given no prep time, no real intro, just thrown in for a demo). They were okay. Then I was whisked to another classroom, given ten minutes prep time, and it was 51 M4 kids, some of whom were pretty sharp. The platform was multi-level with a low-hanging TV monitor and a lectern. They began taking bets as to when I\'d fall off the platform or knock myself unconscious on the monitor. They all lost the bets, and I got the job, which I never should have taken.</p>\n<p><strong>Marmite The Dog</strong><br />All my teaching has been 1 on 1 apart from my practice teaching, so luckily, I never had to go through the 50 bored students sydrome (only 1 bored student!). <br />My first lesson was with an 8 or 9 year old Korean kid called Dong Jae Park, using Let\'s Go 2. It wasn\'t too hard, but he got distracted easily and would wander off and get things to show me. I didn\'t mind this as we were still using English (well, Konglish actually). Everyone seemed happy with me, but the motocy ride back along Rama 9 was a bit hairy at times. <br />When I met my boss at the apartment block, my boss had another Korean women with her who told me how handsome I was , but I know that, because I\'ve been told it many times on the soi near my home....</p>\n<p><strong>Asian Alien</strong><br />April \'99 in Ginza, Tokyo. Overlooking the bright lights and big city I did the whole \'likes dislikes\' lesson that seems to be such a mainstay of the new teacher. I remember trying to elicit for favorite musicians and getting \"Dreams Come True\" and \"Mr. Children\" as a response. In fact the names of two Japanese pop outfits, I believed that either I\'d happened onto some metaphysical dialogue or was dealing with a \'special\' <br />student. <br />It took the intervention of the person I was co-teaching with to get over that hurdle.</p>\n<p><strong>Joe Beets</strong><br />My first lesson was in Khon Kaen. I\'ll try to keep this brief. <br />I arrived fresh from My TEFL course early on a Saturday, was taken to my room, took in a little shut-eye, and spent the rest of the weekend being shown some of the many local wonders by a tag-team of very cool teachers from the school at which I would be starting that Monday. A very nice start. <br />Sometime before dawn on Monday my brand new phone woke me up so I could groggily hear my brother tell me our dad had just died. It took a good long while before I was awake enough for that to start to sink in, but I figured there was no need to rush to the airport, as the flights that would connect to those going to North America were just then taking off. So I put on my best black clothes and headed into school to say my hellos and goodbyes. The plan all along was to be introduced to several classes and guide the students through question and answer sessions, and I suggested we go ahead with that plan. We did, and what might well have been a hellish experience turned out to be anything but, and everyone, from the teachers and administrators to the students, was simply wonderful. Looking back, I was so lucky to have been in that place with those kind people, instead of the spoiled Bangkok brats I\'m dealing with now - but that\'s for another day.</p>\n<p><strong>Stricken</strong><br />Mine was a catholic girls\' school in Bangkok about 2.5 years ago. The first lesson was with a class of P5 students and although I was as nervous as hell to begin with it actually went quite well. What helped is that I was given detailed lesson plans for the P5 and P6 classes I taught. Pretty good plans, too I thought.</p>\n<p>The real baptisom of fire was the next day when I had my first Mattayom class. These were double periods with no lesson plans or materials provided. Well, I had 1 hour 40 minutes to fill and about an hour into the class I\'d got to the end of my plan and then paced round the class gibbering like a fool. One of the girls whispered to me, \"Teacher, do you want me to help you think of something?\" Bless her! After that I went home and planned a ton of stuff for the other M1 - M3 classes that week. <br />The other bad thing that week was when I made a student cry when I said something about boyfriends - she\'d obviously just been dumped. On the whole though I really enjoyed that school. The fact it was all girls made things easier - I\'ve always found them much easier to teach than the boys. Their standard of English wasn\'t too bad either as I realised when I later taught at other schools.</p>\n<p>One other thing that really helped was that I spent a day at a similar school the week before observing another teacher. That was a great help for getting through that first lesson. <br /><br />I taught my first lesson two days after arriving in Bangkok. I obtained a job at a Rajabhat university and was told that orientation would take place on 2 November 2003. I show up to the assigned room at 8.00 in the morning and a Thai teacher basically told me, \"Good luck!\" For the next 45 minutes, I played the waiting game . . . waiting to see what would happen next. Starting at 8.45, students started coming into the room. By 9.30, 78 students had entered the room, all waiting to see what the lastest ajarn farang would teach them. Heck, I had no idea what the class was about! <br />I ask the students, \"What class is this?\"</p>\n<p>\"Conversation!\" they yell out. <br />\"Do you have a textbook?\" <br />\"Yes!\" <br />\"Did you bring it?\" <br />\"NO!\" <br />\"Why not?\" <br />\"Mai roo!\"</p>\n<p>For the next two hours, I played the name game, trying to learn who and what my students were. I learned that all my students were English majors, two students were blind (and they actually had the textbook!), all were third-year students, I was their third teacher this year, they liked playing hangman, sleeping is their favorite hobby, and that almost none of them could string together five or more words to make a sentence. In short, a conversational class nightmare. <br />The funniest incident in the class was final exam day. I gave the students a 20 question exam that I reviewed for four weeks. Each class session, I would put the exam questions on the board and had the students recite the correct answers. I told them that this was the exam, memorize these answers, and everyone would pass. When exam day came, I caught 17 students cheating! AND I STILL HAD TO PASS THEM! Unbelievable! <br />I stuck with the job till the end of the term and managed to slightly improve the conversational skills of some students. But I did learn the limits of my teaching skills, as 78 students were too much for me to effectively manage. There were some high points, but overall, it was an \"interesting\" and eye-opening experience to the Thai educational system.</p>\n<p><strong>Just Another BOF<br /></strong>My first lesson was at a small school in Silom called BritAm Academy. I remember it was something about introductions using my own stuff as the school had no books. But the thing I remember most was one of the students asking me if information was an uncountable noun and me thinking to myself what the \'kinell is an uncountable noun? I knew I was cut out for teaching when I said \"That\'s an interesting question, we\'ll deal with it in the next lesson.\"</p>\n<p><strong>Early Ant<br /></strong>1987 - Universal Language Centre in Banglumpoo. <br />Remember going in there with a huge pile of handouts. Giving one out every five minutes. Receiving confused looks from the students. Confusing them even more trying to explain. Firing off yet more handouts to fend them off. Getting covered in chalk, and leaving the class thinking \'never again\'.</p>\n<p><strong>Dongintheklong</strong><br />My first class I\'ll never forget. I worked for a very dodgy \"language school\" (run by a rich woman from her townhouse living room). The lessons were from 7am-9am in a graphic art firm. My employer said, \"you don\'t need a book--just talk to them.\" Needless to say I did get a hold of a text book, xeroxed several pages, etc. I remember sitting at a big table with 15 very sleepy 24 year olds wondering what the f*ck to do. It went ok, but I was so nervous I couldn\'t sleep the night before. After a month of doing this I asked, \"when will the class end?\" Reply:\"it just keeps going...\" Huh?? I finally resigned, but not before drawing a chimney and smoke on the whiteboard in permanent ink (it was part of the lesson). It resembled an enormous phallus.</p>\n<p><strong>Francis Bacon</strong><br />Yes,yes I remember it well. The class was uneventful as I memorised it in fear.. I remember looking round at the students at one point and thinking \"I can do this\". It finished without spectacle then I had to return a tape \'upstairs\' <br />It was the famous old name for Thailand language school and as I entered the \'upstairs\' office the slink I was supposed to return the tape to was performing fellatio on a fake male organ stuck onto the screen of his computer ..well I thought shall I interrupt his viewing? and of course being nieve I did. Handing him back his tape I said \"What you doing .....?\" He never looked at me in the same way after that we had to share an office for a year too.

Thankfully we didn\'t have a category for those who were \'not sure\'. So there you have it - teaching in Thailand is still a predominantly male-dominated profession. Or women just don\'t like doing surveys. Or they\'re busy washing dishes in the kitchen. You be the judge.</p>\n<p><strong>What age range do you fall into?<br /></strong>34% of Thailand\'s TEFLers are in their 30s. Let\'s be honest - it\'s a wonderful age to be. You\'re old enough to be taken seriously but still young enough to make a fool of yourself in front of ten screaming toddlers. According to the survey, the age groups 25-30 and those in their 40s are also very well represented. Surprisingly there were not that many teachers in the 18-25 age group and I say thank heavens for that. Do you think we want some lantern-jawed Adonis breezing into town and nicking our jobs? No. Then again - teachers in that age group are probably soaking up the rays on some palm-fringed tropical beach anyway. Money in your pocket, free love, a golden future - God I hate them.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your marital status?</strong>&nbsp; <br />Almost 39% of teachers have decided to tie the knot (around where I\'m not entirely sure) 30% describe themselves as \'in a relationship\' (we won\'t go down that route) and 21% are young, free and single. Divorcees account for 6%.</p>\n<p><strong>How many children do you have?</strong><br />There are those TEFLers who not only teach the little blighters for a living, but actually want more punishment when they get home. 30% of teachers have either one or two kiddies in tow, but the vast majority - the selfish people (and that includes me) - account for a whopping 59%. For us the pitter patter of tiny feet is probably next door\'s cat.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you currently live in Thailand? <br /></strong>89% said yes and 11% said no. But all 11% said that they had lived in Thailand at some stage of their lives.</p>\n<p><strong>Which province do you live in?</strong><br />Of the 89 people who bothered to answer this question, about half lived in the capital, where the streets are paved with gold - or sometimes just loose paving slabs. The rest are pretty well spread out - a few in Chiang Mai, a few in Nakhon Pathom, a few in Nakhon Si Thammarat and a couple of brave souls eking a living out there in Chacheongsaw. There was even a person living in Mahasarakham. Group hug everybody. I went there once on a Saturday afternoon and it was closed.</p>\n<p><strong>How long have you lived in Thailand? <br /></strong>The largest group in this category (over 30%) are the TEFLers who have been here for 5-10 years. They\'ve done their apprenticeship. They also pay twice as much as a Thai to go into places that have a \'double-pricing\' system but you can be sure they\'ll have a bloody good moan about it. However, living here for such a lengthy spell does mean that you\'re far more adept at getting the elastic bands off those plastic food bags. Incidentally, only 10% of teachers has managed to make it to the ten-year mark. They can often be spotted on the sky-train shaking their heads and muttering to themselves. Where did it all go? This question could apply to money, youth, ambition, confidence....or just hair.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you foresee a time when you will leave Thailand?<br /></strong>I think it would be a very brave man who answered \'definitely not\' to this question but that\'s exactly what 5% said. Either that or their Thai wives are watching over them while they fill in on-line computer surveys. The majority (36%) went for the more cautious \'probably not\' while 23% gave the question a resounding \'definitely yes\'. 20% didn\'t seem to care either way and were willing to go with the flow. Thailand certainly gives you a lot of practice with that.</p>\n<p><strong>Give a rough estimate as to when you think you will leave.</strong> <br />Most TEFLers are willing to give Thailand between 1-3 years of their lives. Almost a quarter of the voters said they would stay for between 1-2 years and another quarter said they\'d be willing to stay a year longer. About 29% of TEFLers said they would be gone within 12 months. One teacher out of 98 said that he / she is looking to stay here for 20 years or more. He must really love it here.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your immigration status in Thailand?<br /></strong>The Thai immigration will be pleased to know that an enormous 73% of teachers are here on a non-immigrant B and 16% are here on an O category visa. Two lucky souls have a Thai residency visa but no-one in the ajarn survey had risen to the dizzy heights of Thai citizenship.</p>\n<p><strong>Are you working as a teacher in Thailand?</strong><br />89.8% said they were chalkies and the remaining 10.2% said they weren\'t. Inserting \'ner ner ner ner ner\' in the additional comments box was really quite unnecessary I thought.</p>\n<p><strong>What qualifications do you currently hold?</strong> <br />Almost 40% of those surveyed had a degree in a non-teaching related field and a TEFL certificate. 6% had a PGCE and 7% had a masters in education. Only one person admitted to have no qualifications whatsoever.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you hold a current work permit?<br /></strong>74% said yes.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a Thailand teacher license?<br /></strong>The yes teachers and the no teachers were virtually split down the middle on this one.</p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever worked on fake documents?</strong> <br />92% of teachers surveyed said they had never worked on fake documents.</p>\n<p><strong>What age group do you MAINLY teach? <br /></strong>Almost 47% are working in the Thai secondary schools while 24% ply their trade in the primary schools. 18% are at universities and colleges while only 5% work in the library-like environment of the corporate training room where students sometimes join hands to contact the living.</p>\n<p><strong>What type of organisation do you work for?<br /></strong>43% of teachers are employed by government schools and 18% are working at international schools. Less than 10% of those surveyed strut their stuff in the private language sector. It would have all been very different years ago I can tell you.</p>\n<p><strong>Are you employed via an agency?<br /></strong>They\'ve been called the Satan\'s arse of the Thailand TEFL world and yet only 7% of teachers work for them. So what are the other 93% moaning for then?</p>\n<p><strong>Do you like your current teaching position?</strong> <br />75% of teachers like their job a lot (how come we never see you on the ajarn forum?) Only a miniscule 3% said they disliked their job and 21% wouldn\'t commit either way. Not until they asked the boss first I suppose.</p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been working at your current place of employment?</strong> <br />This was a somewhat mixed bag of answers with an employment period of 1-2 years coming out as the top answer.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you work full-time or part-time?<br /></strong>Only 7% had managed to work out life\'s eternal secret of how to work, rest and play with the emphasis on the last two.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your monthly income from your main teaching job?</strong> <br />Forget what\'s gone before. This is what people are really interested in. Who\'s earning more money than you are? Well...30% of teachers are in that \'Bangkok-safe, rural-rich\' 30-39,000 baht a month zone. Almost 20% are reaching out and touching luxury at 40-49K a month, and 17% are in the 50-59K middle-class \'good heavens, look who\'s moving in next door\' bracket. 8% are in the Villa Supermarket preferred shopper category (60-69K) and 5% earn over 100,000 baht a month and probably have Japanese neighbors. Don\'t fret though if you\'re worried where the next hot meal is coming from. A sizeable 15% of TEFLers here live and survive on between 21K and 29K a month.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your total monthly income? <br /></strong>This is the part where you take your teaching salary and add it to the import / export business that you beaver away at in the evening. It might be sending a dozen moody polo shirts home to your brother-in-law or flogging ornate Thai hand-carved chopsticks on Ebay. It all counts! And when you take all this into consideration, an entrepreneurial 11% of TEFLers tweak the nose of the five-figure monthly income and positively laugh in its face. In fact 64% of those surveyed are making over 40,000 baht a month when they tally up their revenue streams. Good to see that capitalist spirit is alive and well in The Land of Smiles.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/fillin.jpg','2008-08-14 03:48:18',1,'2008-08-14 03:48:18','2009-10-30 09:09:19'),(819,21,'Ten of the best','ten-of-the-best','Give us your top ten of any Thailand TEFL-related topic','Nothing more than a bit of fun.

But are you going about things the right way? Read recruiter Chris\'s excellent guide on how to do it right.','<p><strong>So you are thinking of getting a job as an EFL teacher, huh? By e-mail...?</strong>\r\n	<br>Recruiters have a busy job. They sometimes receive many e-mail applications every day, particularly to ads posted on the internet which of course is read world-wide. If you wish to even receive a reply you could consider the following points:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Personalise your application</strong> to the organisation whose ad you are answering. Obvious blanket or multi-mailings are uninspiring, demonstrate a lack of personal energy and engagement, and will almost certainly be ignored. Make sure that you adhere faithfully to the requirements of the ad: no less, no more; and if you are applying for a job in EFL, make sure your own English is absolutely perfect. One of my friends, also an EFL director, with a typical British penchant for cynical humour sometimes sends this automated reply:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"A prerequisite for being an English teacher is being able to understand the language. You were unable to follow the instructions in our ad. We regret that your application cannot be processed\". or \"Thank you for your excellent example of bad grammar. With your permission we would like to use this as an exercise in our end of term exams for 3rd graders.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Avoid lengthy letters of motivation</strong> - it is unmodern, and everyone uses the same template, particularly those which were prepared with the help of the instructors at the TEFL/TESOL institute. Do not display your lack of knowledge about the country which you have \'supposedly\' chosen to be your next place of work. We know if you have sent the same letter world-wide. If it is Thailand you want to work in, it might help to mention it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For one thing, it will show the recruiter that you already know about salaries and costs of living in developing countries; that you have looked up everything you can find on the net about \'Teaching in Thailand\' and that you realise that the average EFL teacher lasts less than 4 months in a job before leaving because the school was a lousy place, or he/she got fired and sent home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The CV is critical.</strong> Nobody is interested that you were a pom-pom girl, a catcher\'s glove carrier, or a cub scout. Likewise, the vacation stint serving burgers in Joe\'s diner only demonstrates that you were refused anything better! Nevertheless, do not be so brief that the recruiter will have to contact you for more information.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Try to avoid sending your CV as an attachment</strong>. These take more time to download and open and sometimes carry viruses.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Do not send</strong> CV\'s to organisations who are not currently recruiting. They will certainly not be read.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>It helps to mention your age</strong>. In fact it is one of the main features of personal details that should be on every CV. A 20-year old greenhorn is less likely to manage a class of 60 unruly grade 12 farmer\'s sons than someone with firm experience in class discipline. Some climates (and work-load) may also be unsuitable for older persons looking for a post-retirement job. So, no age, no reply.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>It helps to mention your gender.</strong> With all the first names out there from a hundred countries using western languages, it is not always clear if boys or girls are writing in. Some jobs involve specifically working with girl students in convent schools, while some require teaching English to car mechanics. So, although Thailand may have three genders, neuters don\'t get replies to job applications.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>And finally, to reiterate a tip on many a teacher web site</strong>: The best jobs go to those who are already in the country and on call for an interview at a moment\'s notice. Beware of those organisations who ply the universities with promises of jobs abroad. In one year you will not even earn back the cost of their fee (900 pounds in the UK + air fare), the insurance package they offer you can be got locally for half the price (BUPA) and the rafting in Kanchanaburi the week before your group leader dispatches you to your school can be done for 15 pounds at any weekend of your choice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Happy job hunting!\r\n	<br>Chris</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chris, if I could add another point to that list, it would be <strong>don\'t just&nbsp;send a resume without some sort of cover letter</strong>. It only takes a moment to type out a short cover letter to state which position you are applying for and perhaps&nbsp;just a few words about yourself (or write \'please find my resume attached\') When jobseekers send an e-mail with a resume attached but don\'t bother with any kind of cover letter, it&nbsp;suggests an unprofessional, half-assed attitude. Seriously - why would I want to employ a person like that?</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/atsign.jpg','2018-04-17 21:40:00',1,'2016-11-06 21:40:32','2018-08-27 15:36:54'),(821,20,'Teaching in Chiang Mai','teaching-in-chiang-mai','A bit of info on Thailand\'s Rose of the North','All the information on this page is courtesy of our friends at One Stop Chiang Mai.

One popular way of doing so for those wanting to delve too deeply into their savings is to take up a position teaching English.</p>\n<p>While rates are not as good as those in Bangkok, an English teacher (whether full time or part-time) can easily earn enough to cover the costs of living in Chiang Mai with plenty to spare for splurging on the odd night out or shopping spree. Full time positions usually receive between 17,500 - 30,000 baht or more per month, while part-timers can expect to earn between 180 - 400 baht per hour.</p>\n<p>Thais are no different from other employers and place very high emphasis on the appearance and attitude of the prospective employee. Therefore those with the proper qualifications (Bachelor Degree, TEFL / TESL certificate) who look for a position will have little problem finding English teaching work in Chiang Mai if they are well-dressed, friendly and professional. No matter what qualifications you have, they won\'t help you if you turn up at a school with sandals, jeans and casual top.</p>\n<p><strong>Thai Visas for teaching English</strong></p>\n<p>Obtaining a work permit is a little difficult in Chiang Mai as there are not many schools willing to go through the administrative nightmare of preparing the necessary documentation and going through the procedures to get you one. Also, Thai schools are reluctant to give you time off to travel outside the country to obtain your Non-Immigrant B visas, and are even less likely to pay for either the trip or the Thai visas and work permit costs. More on Thai visas</p>\n<p>While the private international schools in Chiang Mai do most of their recruiting for English teachers abroad, many schools (primary and high schools), universities, colleges and language schools tend to rely on door-knockers to fill vacant English teaching positions. Demand is higher than supply, however, so competition for the best paying Chiang Mai English teaching jobs is fierce.

There is a wide variety of schools in the city, ranging from international schools to universities and colleges to language centres. Similarly, the professionalism exhibited and expected can vary widely. While there are some fulltime positions, most are part-time and newcomers on the scene can expect to spend some time juggling part-time jobs while waiting for a fulltime one to become available.</p>\n<p>Qualifications dictate both the quality of work and remuneration. Professional EFL/ESL certified teachers can expect to earn considerably more than less qualified ones, and generally these teachers are the only ones considered for positions at the British Council, the AUA Language Centre, English First (EF) and the Australia Centre, whose wages range from 300 to 400 baht an hour.</p>\n<p>Those with a Bachelor Degree can apply at any Thai government educational institution. Chiang Mai University is the pick of these, with a sizable staff of native speakers earning 300 baht an hour part-time or 20,000 baht full time. Read about Chiang Mai</p>\n<p>Other language centres around Chiang Mai include ECC, CEC, NIS, Teya, and London House. Most of these offer wages of 180 - 250 baht per hour, with the teachers left pretty much to themselves to decide curriculum and texts, and tend to be located on the western side of the city (Nimmanhemin Road; Huay Kaew Road) near Chiang Mai University. The motto of many of these schools is profit before education, hence the high turnover in English teaching staff as dedicated teachers become frustrated with the system. However, they are great places to get a foot in the door while looking around for someplace better suited to teaching English in Chiang Mai, and are the places most people start off in.</p>\n<p>There are other smaller independent English language schools in Chiang Mai, especially for young kids, but openings are few and conditions aren\'t great.</p>\n<p><strong>Living in Chiang Mai</strong></p>\n<p>Magnificently situated in a valley surrounded by mountain covered in jungles, and blessed with a mild climate for most of the year, it is little wonder that foreigners have called Chiang Mai home for over 150 years. With recent advancements in infrastructure, such as a convenient international airport and network of highways and bypasses, living in Chiang Mai has never been more comfortable to live in, a fact confirmed by the thousands of foreigners that live in the city for part or all of the year.</p>\n<p>Voted one of the Asia\'s top ten cities for lifestyle, Chiang Mai is famed for its relaxed, traditional ambiance. The local Thai people are friendly, tolerant and eager to impart their culture on willing &lsquo;farang\'. The incredible multi-cultural diversity of the ex-pats is also inviting, with friends easily made due to the common desire to enjoy a lifestyle removed from the hectic, dog-eat-dog pace of large developed cities.</p>\n<p><strong>The Chiang Mai night life</strong></p>\n<p>Yes, there is a bar life here too and while Chiang Mai may not boast the beaches of the popular resort islands of Phuket and Samui, it does not suffer the regular inundation of hoards of culturally insensitive package tourists that pre-empt any laid-back, quiet lifestyle that many ex-pats are seeking. In addition, Chiang Mai is relatively free of touts, beggars and the like, and the environment is generally better cared for. There is still plenty of action here however, with some great night life centred round a tasteful selection of pubs, bars, restaurants with live music, and the odd disco or two. Chiang Mai night cubs and bars scene .</p>\n<p>Living in Chiang Mai is helped by a well established network of services aimed specifically at foreigners, and the burgeoning ex-pat community here creates a comfortable \'safety cushion\' to help newcomers to Asia adjust to life as an occidental in the Orient. Many choose Chiang Mai because it is far more liveable than Bangkok, and the cost of living is much lower. It\'s a great place to go shopping too. Many tourist reserver their shopping for Chiang Mai and for good reason, if you live here you\'ll find your money goes a long way.</p>\n<p><strong>Chiang Mai city</strong></p>\n<p>Founded in 1296 by King Mengrai as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai was soon to grow into one of the largest and most influential cities in the region. Named &lsquo;Nophaburi Sri Nakorn Ping Chiang Mai\', the city occupied an area of 1.8 km by 2 km, and was surrounded by fortifications and a moat, remnants of which are still visible today.</p>\n<p>Chiang Mai grew wealthy on trade due to its strategic geographical position, with the population flourishing and temples constructed everywhere. Proud of its achievements and power, the Lanna Kingdom also developed its own unique cultural heritage, distinctly different from that of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya to the south. More on Chiang Mai</p>\n<p>It was not long, however, before Chiang Mai\'s prosperity was noticed by envious eyes, and the city was sacked the Burmese and lay deserted in ruins before being rebuilt. Chiang Mai\'s Lanna culture was preserved and is reflected today in the wealth and variety of beautiful handicrafts, sumptuous cuisine and exciting festivals that make up life in this centre of northern Thailand. Indeed, Chiang Mai is a shopping paradise for not only foreigners but for Thais as well and cheap shopping is a real attraction in Chiang Mai - in fact it\'s easy to blow all your monthly wage in a weekend here, because you get so many goodies for so little.

Walls and the moat form the north, south, east and west borders of the city, with landmark gates positioned in the centre of each. Main roads run north-south and east-west, with smaller lanes running off these. Many of the old temples and chedis are still standing and make great places to visit, while the iconic moat is an ever-present reminder of the city\'s glory days. More on sight seeing in Chiang Mai</p>\n<p>Chiang Mai has emerged as one of the top tourist sight seeing destinations in Asia, and is equally popular with foreigners as a home away from home.

Although he started working there for less than 10,000 baht a month, he soon found out that displaying a degree of professionalism reaped dividends.','<p>I moved to Chiang Mai after six months in Samut Prakarn (probably a worse place than BKK). I arrived here with a non-teaching mornings-only job lined up, editing financial news for a UK newswire on a laughable wage. Armed with a bit of experience and a recently completed ECC TEFL course I approached 5 of the decent 8 language schools in town. I dressed to meet Thai expectations (tie and smart shirt/pants), tried to speak Thai and had all my papers ready. By the end of the day I had two offers of part-time work. One was with CEC, a very busy Thai-run outfit that was more of a baby-sitting agency than a school, the other was with the Australia Centre, one of the more professional and prestigious schools here. So, juggling the three, I had plenty of hours work, with a combined salary of 25k.</p>\n<p>After awhile it became obvious to me that although my initial impression was that Chiang Mai had too many wanna-be teachers and not enough jobs, the quality of \'potential\' teachers here was woeful. I saw guys with dreadlocks, teachers in T-shirts, girls wearing skimpy \'backpacker-type\' clothing, dirt old men, etc. I realised that a little understanding of Thai expectations and a professional approach went a long way. One hirer gave me some insightful information. He had been school manager for several years and had seen lots come and go. His office was centrally located on the canal withing spitting distance of guesthouses. At least 20 people came to see him a week. Some didn\'t even have a CV, and some were dismissed by the receptionist for poor dress. He reckoned he binned 10 of the CVs, and only 5 others were worth keeping on file. If he hired one a month he was lucky. \'You have all the right qualifications and are well presented young man, unfortunately I have nothing for you right now, keep coming to see me each week\' he had said.</p>\n<p>And so I settled into CM, working mornings only with several other farangs and a team of Thais for a pultry salary of 10000 baht a month (80 hours work), and several hours in the evening between the two language schools, I found an apartment out in the suburbs and cycled everywhere. None-the-less, it was easy to settle in, the environment was much better, I soon made plenty of friends among the ex-pat community, the Thais I met were less material and more down-to-earth, wilderness was at my doorstep and things were cheaper. A lower salary didn\'t really matter to me.</p>\n<p>Six months later things have moved on. As a freelancing journalist (which I am by profession) I had made a breakthrough with a UK company writing content for websites (My specialist area), I soon gave up the awful mornings-only job, and dumped the Thai-run school (for all the usual reasons, cancelled classes, disorganisation, lack of curriculum etc.), and now I have a burgeoning copywriting business which employs 15 people part-time. I run everything from home, turnover is quick, and I\'m making 3 times more than my previous teaching salary. I seldom mingle with the tourists in town, still live cheaply and occassionally teach at the Australia centre for good measure. I get frustrated at the poor standard of service here and the low level of professionalism among the people (Thai and Farang alike), but the math is good when doing business with overseas clients. A lot of people here have set up product export companies.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been lucky, but the harder you work the luckier you get. The truth is, Chiang Mai is full of \'life stylers\', people who don\'t want to work, people who will happily live off 10,000 baht a month, eat at noodle shops and loiter in tourist bars playing pool, riding their bicycles everywhere and seldom leaving CM other than for the monthly visa run to Mae sai. It\'s a small place, the schools know who\'s who and won\'t touch them. Many hang around for months looking for work, but eventually give up, broke and broken, and leave. They don\'t bother to learn any Thai, in CM you don\'t need to. I know several who have arrived with their act together and landed plum jobs on no prior experience. There are few jobs in Thai high schools, but a handful of international schools hire properly qualified people. Occassionally they hire ex-pats who have been here awhile with their \'ear to the ground\'. Sometimes it\'s a waiting game of getting in with the crowd and waiting. There are lots of people here who subsist on bit work from the various language schools, and eventually leave. Few language schools offer full-time contracts, and few even underwrite a Non-Imm B application.</p>\n<p>It\'s easy to get by in Chiang Mai, consequently it attracts the scum. I\'ve had people apply for a job with my fledgling company who admit to being down to their last 300 baht. Others have asked for advances less than 2 weeks after starting (I let them go). Some can\'t even afford to do their visa run (700 baht).</p>\n<p>Then there are the retirees. Those who have made their money elsewhere and simply loaf. Some are as young as 35 or 40, but they distort the picture, leading others to believe that it is OK to party and not work. There is also the NGO crowd, mostly working quietly for Burmese aid outfits that aren\'t entirely allowed by the government. They are serious, compassionate people on varying salaries who have been recruited externally.</p>\n<p>Chiang Mai is way better to live in than BKK, but that\'s my opinion. Nowadays I prefer an early morning mountain bike ride to a night out at the MOS. I\'m settled in my little bungalow, with a normal life, regular places to go to, where you almost always run into people you know, the traffic is dodgy, but not too congested, the air is cleaner, but not always clean, It\'s cooler, sometimes rainier, but a little humid at times, the pace is slower, sometimes its really boring, but there is a steady stream of cultural events put on at the uni. There are a few nightclubs worth going to, plenty of bar girls, less odious rich Thais breezing around, and most things are cheaper. It\'s possible to have your own house and no one need use public transport. The mountains are really accessible, everywhere in Thailand is noisy, locals in Chiang Mai can also be frustrating.</p>\n<p>If you come here, come with the right attitude and you\'ll succeed. Many come here with long-term plans. I know many who ahve been here 10 years or more. Others come, plan to stay, but never quite make it.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/cmfabrics.jpg','2007-11-16 11:20:25',1,'2007-11-16 11:20:25','2009-10-31 02:02:26'),(823,20,'No magic bullets','no-magic-bullets','Dave Patterson would most certainly like a word','Dave Patterson, who is a teacher at the Prince of Songkhla University in South Thailand, says it\'s about time Thai students took studying English seriously. And it\'s about time schools got serious about taking care of their students.','<p>I noted again recently the shock and dismay expressed as once again Thailand and the Thai education system face the fact they are doing a rather poor job of educating Thai students in the English language (\"....tests revealed that Thais have the second-worst English language skills in Southeast Asia...\", BKK Post, Aug 11/05 (note - this story appears to be unavailable on the BKK Post site, but you can see it here - http://www.dlo.co.th/news_e.php?news=2109 )). Following which were the usual \"By golly, that\'s just awful! Heads will roll! We\'ll have to do something about that!!\" expressions from everyone in positions of responsibility for this sad state of affairs, and then the equally usual \"instant great and magnificent NEW PLAN\" to make everything better real soon!! from the Education Minister - all of which is, of course, in reality, the usual \"Run around waving your arms and shouting loud and creating a big commotion and LOOK busy and really serious and concerned without actually doing anything!\" for a few days pattern we see concerning many things here (and elsewhere of course regarding many things, it\'s a political thing and this is how politicians behave everywhere), until the story falls out of the news again, at which time we can finally get on to the endgame - back to life as normal, forget all about it until somebody is so thoughtless as to raise this issue again.\n<p>And then, as happens regularly, I get a call from some department head at my university - \"Teacher! I have student / grad student / some student(s) who go to (some country where they\'re going to have to speak English to get by) - and they need to learn English! They leave in two weeks, you teach them OK?!?!?! They come for maybe 5 hour - no more than 10!! - and they certainly don\'t have time to study by themselves! - but you can help them learn enough to get by, yes??\"</p>\n<p>- and there, in a metaphoric nutshell, lies the root, or at least one major root, of the problem of the poor TOEFL scores, year after year, averred to at the beginning. The apparently hard-wired Thai belief in some sort of Magic Bullet that will enable them to ignore English as much as possible for years, but then learn it quickly and painlessly should the need ever arise, that I have been seeing for the 7 or 8 years I have been involved with English teaching in this country. Nobody I know of has ever produced such a magic bullet (they\'d be richer than a guy named Gates if they ever did such a thing), but the belief seems to be that if we just keep changing Education Ministers and teachers and plans, SOME DAY!! we will find that Magic Fountain of English, and all will be well! Haha! With no work!! Won\'t it be grand!!</p>\n<p>It\'s sure a lot easier than studying, I guess.</p>\n<p>But I\'m afraid I have some rather bad news, if anyone is ready to listen yet - there is no magic bullet. If you want to learn English - you have to study. Seriously. For several years. And practice, practice, practice. (There is an upside - studying can be fun, and accomplishing something difficult (which learning to speak English decently surely is) can be satisfying.)</p>\n<p>Here is what you need to do, for starters, if you want your university students, or even a select subgroup of them, to be reasonably competent in English when they graduate, and be able to deal confidently with TOEFL tests to gain admission to foreign universities, and not consistently find your students near the bottom when compared to other SE Asian countries:</p>\n<p>1. Get serious about your attitude, which comes from the top down - meaning, first and by far the most important - get rid of the Magic Bullet mythology - there are no Magic Bullets. If you want to accomplish something, you need to work at it. This most assuredly applies to learning English. Teachers need to teach, students need to study. Paradoxically, perhaps, \"being serious\" can actually be more fun than \"having fun\" - there is a satisfaction in accomplishing things (being serious), a true enjoyment and feeling good about yourself, but \"having fun\" as a goal soon reveals itself to be a pretty empty and ultimately boring pastime, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction and worse. As another example - I was once faced with a course for Medical Residents at my U here - they had just completed 6 undergrad years with NO English courses available, but now, when they were working 60+ hour weeks, with great amounts of practical medical learning to accomplish and worry about, the Administration decided that in response to some government plan that all medical grads should be proficient in English, in a 30-hour course over 30 weeks, these same residents would become proficient, in doing doctor-patient interviews, seminar presentations, writing and reading research papers and all kinds of medical documents, showing visitors around Thailand, writing a CV, writing letters of various sorts, general conversation, and several other things that escape me now, all in English. And many of the students in this very mixed in terms of skill-levels group probably could not attend many classes because they were quite busy, or be expected to do much self-study between their weekly one-hour classes, but they all had to get at least a B, and preferably an A, in the for-credit course - and that was up to me, the teacher, to arrange. In other words, I was going to be the Magic Bullet for this year. We\'ve all of us who teach here seen such things, I think. And that is the sense of unreality that seems to pervade almost everything around the acquisition of the English language in Thailand.</p>\n<p>English is a difficult thing to learn, let alone master, as is any art or science, and can ONLY be accomplished through sustained learning and practice. It simply can NOT be done in a few hours, weeks, or even months. If you want your university or college graduates to be halfway decent in English, they have to be studying it EVERY year of their undergrad days, with good teachers and good courses, one course every undergrad semester, and with lots of speaking - listening practice, which means SMALL classes, not 30+ students per class.</p>\n<p>2. Get serious about your teachers - I understand the problems of too many students and not enough qualified teachers for all the rural schools, but you have to come up with something better than teachers who \"teach\" their students that, just for instance an example from last week, the word \"parents\" is ALWAYS plural, or that the verb \"to have\" is always conjugated \"have\" (yesterday I have lunch, Thailand have beautiful beaches, my boyfriend have nice car, etc and etc), or \"same-same\", \"no have\", and \"where you come from?\" are good English conversational sentences. Such teachers are NOT teaching their students things about English they ought to know - i.e. things that will help them do ok on their TOEFL test sometime down the road - they are actually doing damage, as once ideas like this get ingrained in the young learners\' heads they are quite difficult to remove later on (which you need to do if the student is going to pass something like a TOEFL, or speak without embarrassing him or herself in an English country). Again, this will take time - the sooner you start, the sooner you get there.</p>\n<p>3. Teach your students to be a bit serious - I understand that \"serious\" is a major conflict with the idea that all learning and everything else should be \"fun\" and students who fail aren\'t going to have much fun - but you can\'t have things both ways. You can prioritise having \"fun\" over learning and continue to pass everyone regardless of their ability and then watch everyone do very poorly on TOEFL etc tests (where the examiners regard English ability as more important than whether or not the students are having much fun taking the test) - or you can get a bit serious and actually make them learn some things before giving them pass marks into higher levels (and maybe have them learn along the way that learning can be fun in its own right!!). Things like getting to class on time are another way of showing that you are taking something at least a bit seriously.</p>\n<p>4. Get serious about assessment - it is ridiculous that at the language department of my university when I taught there I had to deal with a majority (that would be in the 90% range, rather than a Canadian election \"majority\", for instance, which usually means around 25%, but that\'s a story for another day) of first year students who could neither speak nor understand more than a small handful of spoken English words or sentences - and yet they had all \"passed\" several years of lower school English, PLUS the university entrance exams! It\'s hard to take anything seriously when you see this going on at the university level - unfortunately, the TOEFL test people don\'t play along with this system and actually expect some performance from their testees, thus the continually low marks of Thai students, meeting the real world for perhaps the first time.</p>\n<p>5. Get serious with what you are teaching - I would not mind teaching these students who come to my institution at any level, I am a teacher who enjoys teaching, and the Thai students I have taught (a LOT in six years) are almost all very enjoyable to work with, by and large, smart and willing to learn - but the things that are taught have to be at some useful and realistic level for the students, based on their current level of knowledge and some realistic expectation of what they can do in the term ahead. At the Language Department at my university, however, those first year students, with at best beginner-level ability, were given a very advanced English course with, further, no cultural connectivity to the situation of most students (the most advanced level of a course for immigrants to America, with cultural situations appropriate to that teaching situation, called Interchange 3). These students have no idea, just for instance, about how to use the simple past tense (Why were you late? I eat breakfast.) - yet they are supposed to learn the future perfect tense (Tomorrow at this time I will have eaten breakfast!?!?) Ridiculous to say the very least. About all that most of these students \"learn\" from this type of course is that English is far too difficult to ever learn, and they never want to have to go near it again. Very, very bad pedagogy. They need a course that is at least comprehensible to them which, at least at this university, they do not have. (And although 90% of them learn nothing from this course - they all pass it!!! and many then go into second year conversation courses unable to speak or listen any better than they could in the first year course, closer and closer to that TOEFL test they have no hope of passing - see \"assessment\" issues above...)</p>\n<p>5a. And then we have getting serious about grammar - stop stop stop STOP trying to spread this nonsense that students learning English don\'t need to learn grammar!!!! Communication in any language is composed of two things - vocabulary and grammar - one is no good without the other. More importantly, regarding the sad TOEFL scores, TOEFL concentrates a LOT on grammar - rightfully so, in my opinion, although the test in general is somewhat more difficult than it ought to be, I think. You maybe need to change the way grammar is taught - if everyone thinks grammar is just boring and difficult and a waste of time, then there are both teaching and teacher issues to be dealt with.</p>\n<p>6. Give the students a chance! - Many of them really want to learn, but when you put 30-60 students in the same class the teacher becomes little more than a babysitter trying to find a few games to keep them entertained for awhile - the amount of English learning is minimal if not non-existent. Beyond the most basic levels, students can NOT learn what is essentially a hands-on art form requiring personal guidance in large classes. You also need to stop putting students of wildly varying abilities in English together in the same class based on some unrelated criteria and expecting your teachers to deal with it - this is just a waste of time for everyone. Poorer students require different lessons than more advanced students, as in every other course that is taught - imagine putting elephants and crocodiles into the same class, and trying to teach them to be tigers. Crazy. Separate them into appropriate levels, they need different things.</p>\n<p>So, some serious problems to be dealt with - government bureaucracy, teachers, students, courses, assessment - what about a few possible solutions?</p>\n<p>1. MOST IMPORTANT!!!! - first just cease and desist with the Magic Bullet theories - there are no such things, and all the wishing and hoping and blustering in the world is not going to change this. Luck might win you a lottery, it will NOT help your students learn English. The longer you proceed on this course, the more time you are going to waste. Plan and institute some realistic courses, that progress over several years, with realistic teaching and assessment and expectations of the students - and in time, you will start graduating students with good English skills. In time. No \"instantly\" is going to happen. No next month or even next year. Accept this. You can speed it up a bit with more money and better and more teachers, but not with magic. Learning takes time. Period. The sooner you get on the right path, the sooner you get to the end.</p>\n<p>2. Accept that at this time you can NOT teach all students to become good in English - there are just too many obstacles right now, from a lack of competent teachers to many students who don\'t want to learn English anyways - so stream them. Those who do not want to learn English, let them go, at least for now, it is their decision anyways, do not try to force them to do something they do not want to do! - focus your resources on those students who want to learn, and help them learn properly over a period of years.</p>\n<p>3. I know all the arguments about the impossibility of much of what I say, but all we are really talking about is political will and allocation of resources. If you are serious about having your students become proficient in English, you will make it happen, perhaps using some of the ideas expressed herein and being creative about other things. You made the Skytrain happen and the 30-baht health care system, you made the Thai Rak Thai party happen, you build big dams and skyscrapers and airports - and you can help your students become proficient in English by providing a positive, encouraging and realistic learning milieu, if you want to.</p>\n<p>4. Show the students that you care about this, really, that it is not just something you say because you are expected to say it. Give them good teachers and courses, give them good and honest assessment, demand good performance (really, this shows you care!) and then reward them when they meet your expectations, such as by getting high marks in the TOEFL test. Maybe you could make better jobs available in Thailand for students who can get good scores on something like the TOEFL test - more money is a very positive incentive these days. Maybe you could make it known that people who are good in English are to be honoured for this skill that also honours Thailand through a better presence in the world community, as teachers or doctors are honoured right now - social standing is a strong incentive.</p>\n<p>In the classroom, be creative with \"carrots and sticks\", rewards and punishments. Maybe you could establish some kind of contest, and for the students or classes or schools that do best in this contest, arrange a visit from some famous person - someone from the royal family, a movie star or pop singer, someone all the kids look up to and thus to meet them in person would be a thrill and honour, good also for prestige in their social group, worth working for - to meet with the best students and talk awhile (in English, of course!). Maybe there could be a dinner or something together, a weekend at a holiday resort - something VERY TANGIBLE that would make them all very happy and proud of what they have accomplished. Students learn better with this kind of incentive - and yes it would cost a bit (although most public figures do a lot of free things for good causes, which this would be) - but how much is the poor English skills of people costing the country right now? How is your prestige helped by continually doing so poor in the international TOEFL tests? Maybe you could look at spending money on English as a good investment in the future.</p>\n<p>Well, I guess I\'ve ragged on enough for now. Good luck - although, as they say in the farming community I hail from in Canada, \"good luck\" tends to follow hard work.</p>\n<p><strong>Dave Patterson</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/bulletholes.jpg','2006-11-16 22:29:44',1,'2006-11-16 22:29:44','2010-03-03 20:08:45'),(824,8,'Bear Hugs','bear-hugs','Observations from Chengdu','China hasn’t escaped globalisation.

I was just wondering if all these &lsquo;animal lovers\' who seem to be willing to shell out big bucks for this realize that what they are cuddling are wild animals and not some teddy bear or other soft toy. Why can\'t they hug a tree or a kitten instead? By the way, cuddly pandas can pack a mean bite and even maul idiots intruding in their pens, as several huggers found out over the last few years.</p>\n<p>The Panda Base has dedicated a lot of efforts and money on getting these undersexed mammals to procreate, not a small feat when Mr and Mrs Panda seem to have perpetual headaches. Giant pandas are endangered and face a high risk of becoming extinct in the wild in the near future. Depending on sources, only 1,000 - 2,500 remain in the wild, so a breeding programme might make sense.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, reintroducing pandas bred in captivity back into the wild has been so far problematic at best and a failure at worst. There seem to be too few pandas left to sustain the population in the wild. Even if they suddenly started humping as if possessed, they\'d be doing it with siblings, parents and cousins and produce inferior offspring.</p>\n<p>Maybe the Chinese should focus solely on maximising the income from hugging instead of trying to reverse the impossible and aim for a large captive population. Apparently, there are plenty of suckers willing to pay, as this post on a message boards showed: \"I would love nothing more than to hold and take a picture with a panda and I\'m willing to pay whatever the cost.\" To make matters worse, this was posted by someone in vet school. My message to him/her: unless these pandas are in need of medical attention, please keep your germy paws off my bears.</p>\n<p>Apart from the panda-experience, Chengdu has some other aces up its sleeve. I won\'t bother you by listing all the tourist attractions but limit myself to what you may not find in a run-of-the-mill guidebook (just have a look at my photostream on Flickr or do a Google search if you want to know more about all interesting attractions). If you ever visit this megalopolis, beware of King Car. Indeed, motorists are blissfully unaware of perambulating pedestrians and wouldn\'t think twice if running one over would get them quicker to their destination. Their honking is annoying as well but at least not life-threatening. Other safety concerns in Sichuan include drinking the incredibly foul local firewater known as &lsquo;baijiu\', which may turn you blind.</p>\n<p>Contrary to Thailand, nobody seems sexually confused, so there is no need to continuously wonder if tall or well-endowed stunners are really women. Quite a relief, I\'d say. Also, the Chinese have grasped the necessity of reducing pollution, so shops and supermarkets have stopped handing out plastic bags. Although they remain available for a small fee, most - if not all - shoppers carry their own cloth or plastic bags, or just carry stuff in their hands.</p>\n<p>Fares on city buses can be paid by a refillable magnetic bus card, which is not only convenient but also lets you transfer to other buses for free within a two-hour window. On top of this, bus card holders get a 50% discount on the already low fares. The underground which is due to open in 2010 will be the icing on the transport cake. By the way, visionary transport policies are an absolute necessity in a city (or country) where more and more families have started earning enough to afford a car. Where five years ago Chengdu traffic was moderately light, some parts of the city now suffer day-long congestion.</p>\n<p>China hasn\'t escaped globalisation. Multinational chains or franchises can be found in every big city and most foreign products are readily available. Restaurants like McDonald\'s, KFC, Pizza Hut, Subway and the like have become popular but thankfully make up only a small portion of the thousands of restaurants. There is even a Hooters in Chengdu and the ultimate Chinese beer, Tsingtao, sports NBA advertising! German and French cars as well as Japanese electronics are in vogue as well, though most of those are made or assembled in China. Shopping can be done at Carrefour or Wal-Mart.</p>\n<p>Chengdu is situated in the Sichuan Basin and thus enjoys a fairly mild subtropical climate with hot summers and fairly mild winters (it rarely snows or freezes). The city is often enveloped in fog (or is it smog?), except on sunny days. There are definitely four seasons in Sichuan though, which manifests itself in the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables and trees turning all colourful and shedding their leaves in autumn. I hadn\'t eaten peaches or leeks for a very long time.</p>\n<p>Finally, if you want to experience the real or old China, big cities are not the place to go. I\'m under the impression that most metropolises have been almost completely torn down and rebuilt over the last ten years. Some cities still have old quarters with original buildings, but those are usually run-down and dilapidated blocks of flats or warehouses. To see the original China (if there ever was one), you\'d be better off visiting one of the many Ancient Towns around the country. Beware of the tourist hordes though if you go on a weekend or national holiday, as more available income has made China the country with the fastest growing tourist population.</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-02 09:00:33',1,'2009-11-02 09:00:33','2009-11-01 23:11:34'),(825,32,'Some solutions to the challenges of teaching in Thailand','some-solutions-to-the-challenges-of-teaching-in-thailand','Some ideas on how to make life easier for yourself','Don’t take complaints or awkward suggestions to your local head.

But here, as I see them, are the key ones:\n<p>1. English is a compulsory subject and the majority of students will never excel at it, let alone be competent in it or actually enjoy studying it.</p>\n<p>Accept this. From day #1. Unless you teach primary 1 to 3 or 4, there is very little that you can do but help students pass tests and exams. Mein Gott, I hear you cry! Wait until point #2, please.</p>\n<p>You can still create a good rapport with students by playing games though. [http://ajarn.com/Contris/geoff%20richards/geoffrichardsoctober2009.htm]</p>\n<p>Build grammar and new vocabulary around trendy themes that students are interested in and try to make lessons as enjoyable and stimulating as possible. Any teacher that brings the NF friggin\' L or baseball into the classroom should question what they are doing working in this country. The Thais are NOT interested in these sports.</p>\n<p>2. Class sizes are far too large and English is just another foreign language and to properly learn it one-to-one dialogues are essential. And there\'s not a lot we can do about that with class sizes of fifty or more students and only fifty minutes to operate in.</p>\n<p>This is the dilemma of a poor country that is trying to develop. If you haven\'t got a local teacher to keep discipline for you, I\'d look for another job. Either that or a steady supply of valium, ibuprofen and ear-plugs.</p>\n<p>Try splitting students up into learning groups [http://ajarn.com/Contris/geoff%20richards/geoffrichardsfebruary2009b.htm]</p>\n<p>That said your focus HAS to be on reading, comprehension, writing, vocabulary and spelling. It\'s how students are judged during tests and exams. And isn\'t that the truth?</p>\n<p>3. A standardised curriculum has never existed; neither has a clear mandate on what it is that we are and aren\'t supposed to do be doing. A whole variety of textbooks are used, both British and American English. There are even some Thai and Singaporean books in circulation that, while not exactly chock-a-block full of errors, do contain grammatical mistakes that should be penalised at test/exam level because they ARE incorrect.</p>\n<p>The word &lsquo;audacity\' springs to mind when I read on Ajarn Forum about the visa woes of highly capable falang English teachers without a university degree. Can someone please tell me how a degree makes you a better English teacher to non-native speakers? Thailand also isn\'t a developed country like Japan or South Korea where students are paying higher premiums for education. I\'ll make an exception though and say it is a bit cheeky working at a university if you don\'t have a degree. Line firmly drawn.</p>\n<p>A verifiable TEFL or CELTA and decent high school qualifications or diploma should suffice. The MoE could also develop a standard English grammar test that budding falang teachers must pass in order to get a license</p>\n<p>Five periods a day for what? Approximately $860 USD per month. Come on!.</p>\n<p>The cheek of this situation is that many falangs who are struggling to stay in Thailand are spending/banking all of what that they earn here.</p>\n<p>And what about the local English teachers that can\'t have even the most simple and basic conversations with falang teachers? And they teach the subject to their students in Thai. It\'s just a reading and writing exercise. Full stop. Period. Dot. Funny little thing at the end of a sentence which doesn\'t matter a damn because teacher will just &lsquo;red pen\' it anyway. FACT: tests/exams NEVER judge listening/speaking abilities or punctuation [beyond the question mark].</p>\n<p>I must stress though, that the local English teachers at my school do speak excellent English and you can have proper conversations with them.</p>\n<p>MoE and TCT, look in your own backyard first please. The Cambridge ESOL TKT test that local English teachers were supposed to start studying a few years back quickly died a death because you need an IELTS score of at least 6.5 to pass it. BUT if you can barely answer a question about whether the coffee machine is working or not, then you\'re very unlikely to pass the test.</p>\n<p>The latest supposed TCT crackdown on falang teachers is a farce and, in my humble opinion, lack of financial and human resources will bid it a swift farewell. Like I say, look at your own first please.</p>\n<p>Bitching session over, NONE of this is for falangs to decide. This is MoE territory and rightly so.</p>\n<p>4. I\'m going to finish off on two soft challenges that require little debate. Firstly, always be prepared for the worst. If you do have air-con then assume there\'s always the chance of a power-cut. Sweat-faced city isn\'t funny. If you don\'t have air-con at all, the following is essential and is quite literally the difference between misery and comfort.</p>\n<p>Put on plenty of talcum powder after you shower each morning and wear a loose-fitting white cotton T-shirt under your loose fitting cotton shirt. If you can, set a trend by NOT a wearing tie. Either that or take the damn thing off when the room starts to heat up.</p>\n<p>Request or purchase your own cheap personal desk fan and always use a thick cotton cloth to wipe your face and head with. Shirt sleeves become sodden and dirty after a while!</p>\n<p>Don\'t drink coffee at all and make sure that you drink plenty of water throughout the day.</p>\n<p>5. Don\'t take complaints or awkward suggestions to your local head. Go to them with easy to understand positive solutions instead. And don\'t push your case or demand an immediate response. It can take time to consider and answer intelligent open-ended questions and ideas. It has nothing to do with language barriers. It\'s called being a human being.</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-02 09:03:34',1,'2009-11-02 09:03:34','2009-11-01 23:11:35'),(826,108,'Health insurance in Thailand','health-insurance-in-thailand','A reality check','There are basically 2 types of health insurance coverage available in Thailand, government Social Security Insurance (SSI) and non-government, privately funded health insurance.','<p></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are basically 2 types of health insurance coverage available in Thailand, government Social Security Insurance (SSI) and non-government, privately funded health insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For expats to qualify for government SSI insurance, they have to work for an employer who offers that coverage to their employees. For one reason or another, though, many employers don\'t tend to offer it.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For most expats, the only <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>health insurance</span></a> option for them here is some form of privately funded Thai baht health insurance, like AIA, Luma, Pacific Cross, Aetna, or other health insurance companies. Some life insurers are also authorized to sell a form of limited basic hospital inpatient health insurance coverage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In any case, all health insurance sold to expats (and Thais) in Thailand is tightly regulated and controlled by the government Office of Insurance Commission (OIC). It may take months for the OIC to approve the selling of an insurance plan in Thailand and many more months to get them to approve any future changes to that plan.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Other than providing tight regulation and control over the Terms and Conditions of the insurance policy and the tight monitoring of an insurer\'s financial solvency, the government pretty much leaves the insurance companies alone when it comes to medical underwriting and claims processing.. The insurance underwriters can choose whom to insure, what to exclude and whom to reject. The government approved policy Terms and Conditions, though, plays a major role in the approval or rejection of claims</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Unlike governments in many other countries around the world, the Thai government does not give the insurance companies any money or any other incentives to encourage them to accept substandard health risks or to cover pre-existing conditions. But, they closely monitor the financial stability of the companies and make certain that they maintain enough capital reserves to handle future claims.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">With no financial help from the government forthcoming, the <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>insurance companies</span></a> must keep themselves financially fit enough to handle any future claims on their own. If they don\'t, the government can step in and close them down. This has happened with some auto insurers and at least one life insurer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>One of the ways that an insurance company can protect their financial solvency is through the hiring of well qualified Insurance Underwriters with strong medical knowledge. The Underwriter\'s job is to carefully screen each application to look for, and exclude from coverage, any potential health problems that could become a costly claim in the future.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finding and weeding out claims that the insurance company shouldn\'t be responsible for covering is another way that the insurance companies protect their financial solvency. Since not everyone is completely honest in completing insurance applications, the law protects health insurers by giving them an additional two years to find and exclude coverage for health problems not mentioned on the application.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>One of the things that the insurance companies watch for during the first two years is whether the condition currently being treated existed at the time of application and wasn\'t mentioned on the application. If the claims person has reason to believe that the problem did exist at the time of application, the insurance company can refuse to direct pay to the hospital and have the insured pay the bill while the claims person takes more time to carefully evaluate the claim. Once their policy has been in force for more than two years, this should no longer be a problem for insureds.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another way that health insurers protect themselves financially is by raising the premium for individual insureds with high claims. Generally, if your claims are equal to your premium, or higher, expect a premium increase. How much of an increase depends upon how high your claims were for the past year. 50% increase is common for high claims. I have never seen 100% increases, but I guess it is possible. One insurer limits the individual increases to a maximum of 25%. But, that same insurer has across the board premium increases more often than other insurers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The final solution for keeping an insurance company financially healthy is to raise the premiums across the board for every insured. Most insurance companies don\'t like to do that unless they really feel they have to.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Keep in mind that the health insurers based in Thailand are only allowed to sell to residents of Thailand. Some of them may have international names, but they are licensed Thai companies and, therefore, are selling in a much smaller market space than their much larger cousins in Europe or America.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For more information on health insurance plans in Thailand, please feel free to reach out to&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Pacific Prime Thailand Insurance Brokers</a><span>, or email Walter directly at&nbsp;</span><a href=\"mailto:walter@pacificprime.com\">walter@pacificprime.com</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p></p>','','2018-07-16 01:54:00',1,'2016-07-16 01:54:56','2018-09-27 21:33:45'),(827,20,'Oh, one more thing - you\'re fired!','oh-one-more-thing-youre-fired','One teacher\'s account of being popular with students and getting fired','I found out later after talking with other teachers, that there were two teachers that didn’t like us and they were both on the “committee” The director couldn’t go against the committee because she would lose face.','<p><strong>By Ralph Sasser</strong></p>\n<p>This is one of many stories about the way some Thai schools operate.</p>\n<p>On June 6, 2009, I was sent to a school by an agency. The school was desperate for a teacher because the previous teacher was fired five weeks into the semester. When I arrived, a teacher met me at the gate and took me to my desk. He said, \"put your book-bag on your desk and come with me, you have students waiting on you.\" On the way to the class, I thought of an old lesson plan to teach. The class went well. After the class I went back to the office.</p>\n<p>I was accepted and got along with all the teachers. Of course there were some Thai teachers that I thought had a bad attitude, but I got along with them and did my job. I was told several times that the students liked my teaching and had fun in my class. I always had some students that wouldn\'t or didn\'t show up for class, but for the most part, the students were wonderful and I enjoyed working there. I never had problems with any students. They all were well behaved and that made my job much easier.</p>\n<p>During the semester, all the foreign teachers were taken to the tax office to get our tax numbers. We asked constantly about getting work permits, and were told they would be coming. We continued to do our job well. Late in the semester, the lady that takes care of the foreign teachers gave me a work permit application and asked for some pictures to go with it. I filled it out, gave her the pictures, and never heard about it again. Every time I would ask about it, I was given an excuse as to why it was taking so long.</p>\n<p>The Thai teachers were continually asking me to edit their work, which I gladly did. My director was great and I enjoyed my job. There were never any arguments and everyone seemed to get along well together, even the ones I thought had a bad attitude.<br />At the end of the semester, the director called a meeting, but no foreign teachers were allowed. We all thought this was strange. The meeting lasted 3 hours and after the meeting we all noticed all the Thai teachers acting differently towards us. But, we all continued to be at school doing our end of semester work.</p>\n<p>On September 30, 2009, my director called us all in for a meeting. I was told that I was a wonderful teacher. Was? This word made me think something was wrong, so I listened. She continued to tell us that the co-teachers and the students are surveyed about our performance and I had failed my student survey and some of the students couldn\'t understand me. I told her, \"some of the students? Of course there will always be some that do not understand. That is why we teach ESL. I think that is reasonable considering they have never been taught by a native speaker. They have only been taught by a Thai teacher that cannot speak English or even a coherent sentence in English. I think the students did well.\" I ask, \"what are my percentages?\"</p>\n<p>She told me, \"You have 73%\" I said, \"So, 73% liked me and learned?\" She said, \"Yes.\" I thought that percentage was reasonable. She went on to the other teachers and told them their percentages, which were basically the same. So, to make a long story short, at the end of the meeting two out of three of us were \"let go\" as the director called it. In spite of the fact, that none of us were ever spoken to, warned, reprimanded, counseled, and we did our jobs to the very best of our ability. We never had any problems of any kind.</p>\n<p>I found out later after talking with other teachers, that there were two teachers that didn\'t like us and they were both on the \"committee\" The director couldn\'t go against the committee because she would lose face. The director told my wife, whom she liked, \"Ralph had a hard time climbing the stairs because of his handicap. I didn\'t want to let him go.\" Even though I never complained and most people never know I am handicapped. You certainly can not tell by the way I walk.</p>\n<p>So, it boils down to the fact that the student\'s survey had nothing to do with being \"let go.\" I believe I was \"let go\" because two Thai teachers didn\'t like me, I am handicapped, and I am sixty one years old. In retrospect, it doesn\'t matter how good a teacher one is as long as you kiss the Thai teachers asses, are not handicapped, and are young - then you can work.</p>\n<p>The schools know how to skirt the system. By not providing us with a work permit, we have no right to file a claim against them for termination without cause. Needless to say, I was shocked. I have taught in Thailand a long time and I know how the system works in the ESL community. Or I thought I did. This was a first though.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/fired2.jpg','2009-10-06 08:09:38',1,'2009-10-06 08:09:38','2009-11-01 23:11:39'),(828,21,'Those crazy interviewees','those-crazy-interviewees','A tongue-in-cheek look at some rather eccentric teachers','I’ve always been wary of religious types.

During that time he\'s hired literally thousands of teaching staff for a chain of private language schools. On the rare occasion I manage to get together with Jimmy, I can sit there for hours and listen to a wealth of anecdotes. What follows is my own personal favorite. I\'ve heard the story a dozen times and I can only hope I live long enough to hear it a dozen more.\n<p>Jimmy was looking for someone to go and teach a group of management level executives at one of Bangkok\'s top law firms. Not only did the teacher need to have a background in law but he also needed to look the part. This wasn\'t an opportunity for some geriatric world traveler with chronic smoker\'s disease. This was a job for a well-cut Italian suit and the kind of face you only see in stock photos. To Jimmy\'s delight, such a gentleman knocked on his office door one rainy Bangkok afternoon and within thirty minutes he was hired.</p>\n<p>Cometh the hour, the ten legal eagles are sat in a plush company boardroom waiting for the first lesson of their &lsquo;Business Communication Skills\' course to begin. In walks their new teacher. Wow! Clothes so sharp and freshly laundered that they\'ve still got the coat-hanger in them. Polished shoes squeak with every step and there\'s that unmistakable waft of expensive aftershave. The teacher nods at the small gathering and launches into the time-honored &lsquo;getting to know you\' section - the cornerstone of any good first day class. \"Good afternoon everyone. My name is Peter. Before we begin, I\'d like to get one thing straight. I\'m a Christian. I have certain views on Christianity of course but basically anyone who disagrees with them can blow it out of their ass\"</p>\n<p>Now I\'m all in favor of making an impact with first day classes but dare I say there\'s a right and wrong way to go about things. Peter spent the next twenty minutes walking the participants through the curriculum and course content. He needn\'t have bothered. No one was taking a blind bit of notice. The participants sat there rigid with fear, avoiding eye content, lest the teacher strike them down with great vengeance. One of the female class members is even rumored to have burst into tears at one point. Eventually one of the group managed to excuse himself from the training room and raise the alarm. The law company\'s training manager called Jimmy on the phone and barely able to control her anger, demanded a school employee come down immediately and remove the teacher from the premises - by force if necessary. The saddest part was that the teacher couldn\'t see what on earth he\'d done wrong.</p>\n<p>I guess we\'re all strange in certain ways. We all have our little quirks and peccadilloes. The opportunity to share interview anecdotes always makes me think back to some of the truly amazing people I\'ve interviewed down the years. Someone once said to me they considered Bangkok to have more oddballs per square foot than any other major city in the world but as those who have hired teachers for private schools will know - when you work for a school owner who won\'t get their hand in their pocket for more than 250 baht an hour, there are times when you are simply desperate to get bodies in classrooms.</p>\n<p>One elderly gentleman came to see me about hourly paid weekend work. He sounded good on the phone, knew his stuff and I thought he might be a good fit for the two Saturday classes I had in mind. He turned up smartly dressed and on time for the interview. So far so good. The only thing worrying me were the two enormous supermarket carrier bags he was holding, both bulging with the profits of a very recent shopping trip. Sensing my obvious bewilderment, he told me that he\'d decided to \"pick up a few things on the way\". The situation got weirder (if that was possible) when we sat down for the formal interview. Rather than placing the bags at his side like any normal, sane person would do, he plonked them down on the office table itself. I was just about to give him some background information on the school when one of the bags collapsed and both of us watched as two cooking onions and half a dozen cherry tomatoes rolled across the polished surface and bounced onto the floor. The details are hazy but they may have been followed by a couple of French Golden Delicious. Anyway, I do remember that we spent the first couple of minutes retrieving fruit and vegetables from various dusty corners and recesses.</p>\n<p>After a busy day\'s interviewing, the school owner approached me and asked if I\'d been successful in my quest to find the school a new teacher. I assured her that everything was under control. She lowered her voice and said \"it\'s not the guy with the carrier bags is it?\" I said \"no, it\'s not the guy with the carrier bags\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve always been wary of religious types. Let me be the last man to begrudge anyone the right to have a faith but there\'s a time and a place. Sunday morning in church springs instantly to mind. But if I ever saw the name &lsquo;Jesus\' written on a lesson plan I would subconsciously file the teacher under &lsquo;one to keep an eye on\'. If that same teacher suddenly appeared at school with a guitar, then the needle would twitch momentarily and then go straight to red alert. I\'ve seen teachers and guitars hold groups of young learners spellbound for hours but when you peer in a classroom window and a bunch of Thai adults are clapping along nervously to a slightly wonky rendition of Micheal Row the Boat Ashore, complete with rousing Hallelujahs, it\'s time for a quiet word in the office - and of course the promise that you\'ll write the teacher a good reference.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never been the world\'s greatest interviewer. Despite there being numerous books written on the topic of interviewing - all promising to turn you into a master interrogator - I think it\'s a skill that few people master. One of the best interviewers I ever worked with once offered me some good advice - \"just let interviewees talk. It\'s amazing how many will hang themselves once they feel the need to fill silences\". I\'ve always found this to be true as well. I\'ve lost count of teachers who have given an overview of their classroom experience, a quick tour of their family background and then got on to the more delicate topic of how they fill their spare time. Before you know it, the eyes develop a slightly wicked and perverted look and you\'re getting a blow-by-blow, stroke-by-stroke account of nearly every bar in Nana Plaza.</p>\n<p>But let\'s go back to the individual stories. I particularly loved the American woman who I once interviewed for a very routine marketing job. The position basically involved lots of cold-calling and hopefully plenty of sales appointments. It paid about 30,000 baht a month plus a generous commission. As I outlined the details, the woman, obviously dissatisfied with the remuneration package on offer, would butt in every five minutes and ask me if I had any idea how much this kind of job would pay in New York. After tolerating the interruptions for far longer than she deserved, I played my trump card - \"but we\'re not in New York love\" <br />Her expression conceded the fact that I probably had a valid point.</p>\n<p>Numerous teachers have expressed disappointment at interviews once you let them know how little they\'ll be earning. One gentleman I recall had been working as some hot shot financial consultant in Hong Kong and for whatever reason, had suddenly found himself scouring the 250-baht an hour private language schools in search of work. The interview was going swimmingly until I got on to the subject of money.</p>\n<p>\"So if you can start on Monday Steve, we pay 270 baht an hour. After you\'ve completed a million hours of teaching, you become what we refer to as a senior teacher - and your rate goes up to 280\"</p>\n<p>Steve paused, not really taking in what I\'d just said and so asked for further clarification. He did a few quick sums in his head (never a good idea) and said \"but that\'s barely 8 dollars an hour. I would earn that flipping burgers back in Nebraska\"</p>\n<p>I shrugged my shoulders. I never really know what to say in those situations and perhaps it\'s not the best time to comment on an individual\'s appalling lack of research. Steve eventually came to a decision \"well, life is all about making contacts and if I\'m teaching a group of eight people then there might be someone in the class who can connect me with something better\"</p>\n<p>Relieved to have another teacher on board, I shook Steve\'s hand and spent a sleepless night worrying about his motives.</p>\n<p>The day of Steve\'s first class coincided with my day off, so I wasn\'t actually there to see him glide across the reception in a pair of designer jeans and a tight beige turtle-neck sweater but I did have no fewer than three of the school staff phone and tell me about it. When I called Steve later that evening and got on to the subject of inappropriate attire for a teacher, he took it completely the wrong way and told me quite plainly that he would teach in what he felt comfortable in. Ever get the feeling that a certain teacher was going to be nothing but trouble? Going back to that first day class, he\'d found himself opposite eight Thai teenagers who had never been kissed and probably never ventured further than the end of the street. Not a single high-flying merchant banker among them. Three hours went by and not one of the class had walked over to Steve, a smile playing across his lips, and said \"Steve, our international conglomerate needs people like you. How does 250K a year and and a luxury Sukhumwit apartment sound?\"</p>\n<p>Five minutes before the start of Steve\'s second class, I got the dreaded phone call. \"Sorry Phil, I just can\'t do this. It\'s not worth my time. Good luck with everything\". Click.</p>\n<p>Another favorite was the Canadian gentleman who came to apply for a full-time teaching position. Showing him into one of the classrooms, I told him that I had an urgent phone call to make and wouldn\'t keep him waiting longer than five minutes. To keep him occupied, I gave him a selection of the textbooks we used in our writing and speaking classes.<br />\"Have a little look at those while I\'m gone and you\'ll get a feel for what we do here\"<br />When I returned five minutes later, the small pile of textbooks was in exactly the same position I\'d left them, and to add insult, the teacher was engrossed in a paperback novel that he\'d extracted from his backpack. With the gift of hindsight I should have gone through the motions of a short interview and never ever contacted him again. However these were desperate times and he started work the following week. The fact that a month later he turned up to work drunk and threatened to throw a student out of a window is neither here nor there but it has taught me to go with my instincts when it comes to hiring teachers.</p>\n<p>Another Canadian teacher (and I don\'t wish to imply all Canadians are slackers because I\'ve worked with some wonderful Canadian teachers) came for some part-time morning work teaching a couple of speaking and grammar classes from 9.00 until 12.00. The first week didn\'t go particularly well with the teacher being late three mornings out of five. After a quiet word in his ear, things could only get better. On the Monday morning of his second week, I got off the bus and found myself following the teacher over a pedestrian footbridge. A quick glance at the watch told me that he was already five minutes late for his first class. Expecting him to pick up the pace a little and perhaps jog the last 100 meters to the school entrance, he promptly disappeared into Dunkin Donuts. I stood outside on the footpath with a slightly puzzled expression, as the teacher chatted with the shop assistant and debated whether to go for the Bavarian Cr&egrave;me or the strawberry frosted. Eventually I caught his attention through the shop-window and pointed frantically at my watch. He quickly paid for his goods, came out of the shop and said possibly the worst thing one could say to me in that situation. \"Chill out dude\". The rest of the story you can probably guess.</p>\n<p>My craziest experiences though have always been with interviewees who have in their infinite wisdom, decided to bring a friend along to the interview. In most cases they\'ve probably only known this &lsquo;friend\' for a matter of one evening and a long night. Shall we just say the sort of friend who earns a living by doing favors for sailors and leave it at that. If you\'re intent on coming to an interview with a companion, my advice would be to leave them outside the interview room - a piece of advice one gentleman chose to ignore and subjected me to one of the worst hours of my life as he tried to answer my well-prepared questions while the lady at his side made playful grabs at his crotch. Another teacher I well remember arrived at an interview with his long-term Thai partner - a young gentleman wearing one of those string vest affairs through which one can clearly see the nipples. He did at least have the sense to leave the boyfriend outside in the corridor but every time I turned away to get a textbook off a shelf, teacher and boyfriend would make faces through the plate glass window and wink at each other in that unmistakable &lsquo;just wait till I get you home\' manner.</p>\n<p>At the time, many of these interview experiences can be both mind-boggling and frustrating. People\'s complete lack of professionalism astounds me at times but take a step back and you realize that it\'s all part of life\'s rich tapestry. These are the colorful characters that truly make this wonderful world go round.</p>\n<p>The names of people in this article have obviously been changed.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/hshake1.jpg','2009-08-20 08:17:31',1,'2009-08-20 08:17:31','2009-11-01 23:11:32'),(829,20,'You\'re moving to where?','youre-moving-to-where','People\'s reactions on hearing that you\'re Thailand-bound','Leigh-Anne Hunter has found out that people fall into three distinct groups when you let them know of your ridiculous plans to move to Thailand. How do you know you\'ll like it if you\'ve never been? Isn\'t that where the tsunami was? I guess these people mean well.','<p>You can tell a lot about a person when you announce you\'re moving to a foreign country. (Very foreign as it turns out - Some of them haven\'t even heard of it). Firstly, there were the Nutters (the ones who thought I was nuts). I might as well have said that I\'ve got a contagious fungus festering under my left armpit and would they like to have a look.\n<p>A typical conversation with a Nutter would go something like this:</p>\n<p>\"I\'m going to Phuket in July.\"<br />\"Oh wonderful, I\'ve heard it\'s a great vacation spot.\"<br />\"Actually I\'m relocating there.\"<br />\"Oh come on, very funny, ha ha.\"<br />\"No I\'m serious.\"<br />(Cue expression of horror accompanied by gasps and eyebrow-raising).<br />\"You mean, you\'re going to LIVE there? But why?\"<br />\"Er, well, I\'ve always loved karaoke and fried rice,\" I\'d joke.<br />\"What are you going to DO there?\" <br />\"Well I thought I would sell my body, at least what\'s left of it after I\'ve contracted a flesh-eating virus that leaves me disfigured, and of course I\'ll drop half my weight since all they eat there is grasshoppers washed down with diesel.\"</p>\n<p>(Cue nervous smile that says: I\'m not sure if you\'re ripping me off or if you\'re being serious).</p>\n<p>\"But why would you want to lose everything you\'ve got here?\" asked a work friend.</p>\n<p>\"Yeah, I know, why would I want to give up all this,\" I\'d say, sweeping my arm over the grey office with its grey walls and grey-faced people watching the clock inch its way to 5pm. \"I must be mad.\"</p>\n<p>\"But how do you know if you\'ll like it if you\'ve never been there?\" was another typical Nutter question.</p>\n<p>\"Come to think of it you\'re right. Beautiful beaches, crystal-clear waters... Sounds awful. What was I thinking?\"</p>\n<p>\"You always were such a free spirit\" was another Nutter response. (In other words, you crazy hedonist, the sixties are over you know. Give it a month and you\'ll be back).</p>\n<p>Of course my poor mum had visions of me lying in a gutter with a sign, \"Farang needs money to fly home. Will sell body in exchange for food.\" I comforted her by saying that I hear they have world-class gutters in Thailand.</p>\n<p>She tried hard to put me off the whole idea. \"You know Aunt Marcy went to Thailand and she said there were no flushing toilets in the whole country. And you have to...\" (she whispered conspiratorially)... \"squat!\" She threw a nervous glance at her own flushing toilet to make sure it was still there, no doubt saying a silent prayer to the God of Plumbing for modern appliances.</p>\n<p>The rest of my family are Nutters too. Instead of doing crossword puzzles, my gran has another hobby: She collects news - the bloodier the better. \"And did you hear about that poor woman who set herself on fire after she painted her nails and then lit her cigarette?\" she said excitedly, pouring me a cup of English tea.</p>\n<p>I tried not to focus too much on Thailand, with my highly-strung mum within earshot. \"So how have you been?\" gran asked. \"Oh fine, works fine, Wayne\'s fine, we went shopping yesterday, we\'re moving to Thailand, and...\"</p>\n<p>\"Thailand?\" she perked up, downloading any horrific stories from her cerebral news archive. \"Isn\'t that where the tsunami happened? And wasn\'t there a military take-over?\" \"Er, I squirmed in my seat, watching my mom turn pale. \"Another cookie, gran?\"</p>\n<p>At one stage I was worried my mum might try track me down. I pictured a little English lady wearing binoculars and safari gear asking the &lsquo;natives\' if they\'d seen a young, malnourished lady in a gutter. But I relaxed after I heard from my brother: \"Mom says that you\'re moving to Taiwan...\" Another colleague wished me a pleasant stay in Ireland (Thai-land, Ire-land... I guess they\'re easily confused).</p>\n<p>Then there were the Romantics, the ones who gushed about my decision and claimed to be \"soooo jealous.\" Cue reminiscing about the life-changing gap year they took back in their youth (most of my friends are still in their thirties) to Switzerland and how they worked three jobs at a time and didn\'t have enough money to buy a coat so they froze in winter, and wasn\'t it wonderful! So character-forming! And if only they\'d stayed there and married that barman/lady, life would be so much better.</p>\n<p>Cue dramatic sigh. \"I would go tomorrow if I could. But I have a mortgage to pay off, and ten children, and responsibilities. If I were single I\'d do it tomorrow. You\'re so lucky.\" Another weary sigh. I tried to explain that I wouldn\'t be sitting on a beach all day sipping pina colades but they refused to have their vision tarnished.</p>\n<p>Lastly there were the Cynics. The ones who lived in Thailand for five years, got scammed by some Thai woman, and now all they can talk about is how wonderful their country is, how reliable the public transport system is, how much they missed the snow, that lying, cheating minx, etcetera etcetera.</p>\n<p>Despite the mixed reactions from the Nutters, the Romantics and the Cynics, everything worked out fine. In fact, as long as I\'m employed and not starving my mom doesn\'t really worry.</p>\n<p>\"How are you darling? What is it like over there?\" she asked me over the phone.</p>\n<p>\"Oh it\'s really interesting. There\'s so much to see and...\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s nice,\" she said, distractedly.</p>\n<p>\"Especially the fried worms and cockroaches.\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s lovely darling.\"</p>\n<p>Of course the usual question from everyone is: When are you coming home? And for each person I have a different answer. For the Nutters and Cynics it\'s \"soon\" and for the Romantics it\'s \"never.\" Let\'s hope my mum doesn\'t find out.</p>\n<p>Leigh-Anne has her own blog at www.mrs-scribbles.com</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/worried.jpg','2009-09-15 08:23:51',1,'2009-09-15 08:23:51','2009-11-01 23:11:52'),(830,20,'Teacher\'s crib','teachers-crib','Look what I did Mom!','Take a look at what teacher Steve Salyer has done to his studio apartment in Sukhumwit 71.

Teacher Steve Salyer has combined imagination with a bit of hard earned cash and turned his Sukhumwit 71 studio into the perfect Bangkok pad. Many thanks Steve for sharing the photos with us.

If you live in a room that you\'re not particularly proud of, it stands to reason you wouldn\'t want to spend a lot of time there. So simply put, you spend more money on outside entertainment. And that can cost you serious wonga. I bet Steve enjoys dimming the lights and curling up on the sofa with a good book just as much as he enjoys the hustle of an overpriced Bangkok bar. I\'m not saying you should become a hermit and have all your friends forget what you look like, but staying in does keep your costs down.</p>\n<p>A word of warning - always have a quiet word with the landlord before you start doing serious decorating in a rented apartment. Many landlords will charge you a fee for putting holes in walls and a host of other minor things. Even though you may have improved the property, it\'s a glorious opportunity for a landlord to \'nickel and dime\' you when you check out and need to get your deposit money back. In my opinion, you should only make changes that you can literally pick up, pull off, peel off and pull down. And whatever you do - don\'t take a lump-hammer to any supporting walls.</p>\n<p>Do you have a studio apartment that you\'d like to show off on ajarn.com? <br />Let\'s see your pics!

The names, locations, and certain details have all been changed to protect the girl\'s identity. Creating a daily journal was not part of a larger &lsquo;writing for grammar\' exercise. It was about expressing the student\'s thoughts, feelings, and actions in English in a free and open way. I have left in most of the grammatical errors in an effort to keep the diary as true to her voice as possible. I have added small details to help fill in the blanks. She is obviously writing to an audience, her English teacher, who knows all of the details. I found the following diary remarkably honest for a Thai student and remarkably lucid for a Thai student who has never been out of the country, immersed in a native environment.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, May 11 2007</strong></p>\n<p>This morning, my cousin who lives with me named Meet (12 years old) woke me up. I tried so hard to get out of my pillow and took a bath. My breakfast was boiled rice, salted eggs and fried pork. I wonder why salted eggs were not salted but I didn\'t ask anyone and kept eating like a robot. <br />I came to school. It\'s such a boring day like everyday. First subject was Thai and the teacher gave us 2 projects to do. I hate project! I never like it. I wonder why we have so many homework to do!? Today, Mr. Hiho, our Japanese teacher, didn\'t come because he have to go to funeral at Bang district. So all studied Chinese. I don\'t like his (Chinese Teacher) teaching style, just talk, talk and talk. Some of my friend still can\'t read Pin-yin, even though they studied Chinese for 1 year! Next was computer class. We went downstair for taking a photo because computer teacher want our photo but I don\'t know what he will do with our photos.<br />At lunch, 1 of my friend who likes Nit gave me strawberry milk. I don\'t know why he gave me. (He\'s younger than me 1 year.) <br />After that we had 3 hours with Mr. Evan. He said that it\'s hell hour. We watched some American TV show comedy. I feel my English is improve (but only listening) because I understand what they\'re talking about more than last year but it\'s just the feeling.</p>\n<p>Ps. Today I\'m very tired!</p>\n<p>Tuesday, May 15, 2007<br />Today I feel very bad because last night I cried. I don\'t know why I cry but my tear fell and I can\'t control. I talked to my parents about what is happening to me now in EP. I can\'t take my classroom. It\'s too small. Not like last year. It so suck! They told me they can\'t help me. They just only can tell the way to get out of this problem that is get out of the this EP Program. Our room is so small and we pay same as other students. <br />And I cried. I don\'t wanna get out of this program but if it\'s no changing, then I wanna get out. I\'ve been thinking about it all the time. <br />My parents came to school today and talk about my problem to the school director. He\'s the EP director\'s boss. I hope they change us to the big classroom. All I can do now is waiting for the result.</p>\n<p>Ps. I got many homework!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, May 16, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I wonder why we got a lot of science homework!? Why? Why? Why? And I don\'t like Mr. Sam, our science teacher...no...I mean his teaching style. He just give us homework but also we have to read by ourselves and it\'s a lot for us to be a homework reading. Vocabulary words are also difficult. If I got homework only this subject, it\'s OK but I have homework in almost all subjects. I have to do geography project and two Thai projects. Oh! And also health education project, too!</p>\n<p>Ps. I think my dad really want me to leave EP. He keeps asking me everyday.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, May 17, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I feel very tired today. I really want to go to bed. I try to do all my homework and go to sleep.</p>\n<p>Ps. So tired!!</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, May 21, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>After I read my journal, I feel like why I\'m sayin\' it\'s such a bad day in everyday but it\'s true. And today is a bad day, too. Why? I will tell you. <br />First, I came back home late last night because we had our M3 reunion party and it\'s end about 9pm. It\'s the first time for me coming late. I feel very bad at that moment because I thought my parents will waiting for me but they didn\'t say anything just asked what did you do today? Great? So, I told what I did all day (and also told that I went to Bang\'s house and saw his older brother. It\'s the first time for me and he\'s very handsome!)<br />I went to bed very late and didn\'t do any homework. (Ha! Ha! Very bad.) And back at school today and I got an essay homework from Mr. Sam. Oh! Oh! He also tested us on the reading. He wanted us to read out loud and he will give the points for reading, such as, how you pronounce the words? It\'s like the other people? Is your voice loud enough? I have no idea about that but I wonder why we have to do this? It\'s not an English class but it\'s the science class. Why we have to do this? It suck! (I really wanna kill him by turn off the air conditioner!) <br />Go back to essay, He told me it\'s a group essay. He want us to separate in two groups and talk about it, then write an essay by YOUR OWN! WHAT!? It means one person one essay. But why he called it a group essay. You know what I mean? AH! KILL HIM! (Or kick his giant butt. Oopps! Sorry.)</p>\n<p>Ps. I hate all my homework!! Let it be. Let it be, and I never have enough sleep because of the homework!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, May 22, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Bad day again but today is really, really bad. <br />First, Mr. Naha, that\'s what we call our EP director, came to my classroom and talked, talked and talked about our behavior. We didn\'t do anything bad, just classroom is dirty but it\'s not only my class! And he talked like we are the very bad students in EP! Hey! Hey! You, you! I don\'t like Mr. Naha! He also punch May\'s head because she wear PE uniform! He also don\'t let us leave our books at school, including under the desk and in the locker but other class can do. <br />WHAT! Why in EP has no justice!?<br />I have to take 4 English books everyday and also 3 other books! It\'s so heavy for a little girl like me. I hate him so much. <br />And because you didn\'t come today, he came to teach Grammar in English class. It\'s very funny because he said that &lsquo;Noun plus -ing is gerund!\' Ha ha ha... Noun plus -ing? Ha ha ha...I think he has high-self confidence. And always has it, too. But in the afternoon he let us have free time. <br />I finished unit 12 in grammar book and did my Thai homework. <br />Oh! I heard from Kate that today her class love Mr. Hank because Mr. Sam told him that he got Mr. Carl in trouble with Naha. Mr. Hank very angry because he like Mr. Carl because Mr. Carl is a good person. YES! Mr. Hank very angry. He wanted to fight with Mr. Sam, too! YEAH! I cheer Mr. Hank. I still hate Mr. Sam and his accent. <br />I don\'t know why Naha always attack our class but I hate him so much what about he did to May! Punch the student is not the good thing to do.</p>\n<p>Ps. Naha get out! Where is the justice?</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, May 23, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>When I went upstairs to class, Neat said to me \"Mr. Robert is gone! Dead.\" I said \"What!?\" It\'s really, really sad. I really don\'t want him going. He had not been to school for a long time and in hospital sick or something like that. I\'m very sad. <br />In last year, he liked to talk with me. I can remember one thing that he told me. He asked how old I am? And I said 15. Why you asked me? He said you are very young. Do you have any boyfriend and I said no! I never want to. He said it\'s a good idea. You\'re right. Now, is the time for study and have some fun with your friends. When you are grow up, you can do whatever you want, but remember you cannot trust in every boy. And I can remember it clearly. <br />In the morning, all of the EP students and EP teachers were downstairs in front of the building and Mr. Naha announced about Mr. Robert\'s profile and in that moment, he cried. WHAT!? Yeah! He cried like he feel very sorry about that. I understand but he cried very hard and it\'s very funny (about Mr. Naha) I laugh and I can\'t control laughing at Mr. Naha. Every student were very surprised and me, too. Because we\'re never seen that before. One student said we forgot to record Mr. Naha crying. I know it\'s very bad that I laughed at him when he fell very bad. But I can\'t control. I\'M SORRY!</p>\n<p>Ps. God bless Mr. Robert<br />Ps. And Mr. Evan, I hope you get well and come back soon!</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, May 24, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Mr. Hiho is very boring. He speaks very low...w...w. I have to tell him to speak louder at least 2 times a day. And I don\'t understand his English...you know what I mean? When I ask him to speak again he will write it on the board. But I want him to speak and not to write because I want to learn Japanese accent! I try to communicate with him but it doesn\'t work. And sometimes, he check our works not right. I mean in the same answer I right but May wrong but he say both are right! And it\'s too many times that he do. What should I do? <br />I went to Mr. Robert\'s funeral with my friends. It\'s really sad. We met Mr. Hank, Mr. Carl, Mr. George, Mr. Sid, Mr. Ronald, and Mr. Naha. Every one cried, including me. <br />Robert\'s wife look very sad. I understand but it\'s too much for her with 3 children. She may fell lonely in this time but I think she can get through this because it is the truth. Mike, Allen, and Sara are his children. Mike doesn\'t know that his dad pass away and never come back. He thinks his dad just have a long sleep. I heard from someone that he asked his mom &lsquo;when is dad wake up?\' It\'s very sad story. Everyone miss him so much, including me. It\'s hard to accept this. And there was an event that happened. At the time that someone (I don\'t know him) talked about Mr. Robert, his name that was hanging on the wall fell down suddenly, like ghost. But nothing happened to the others.</p>\n<p>Ps. (All my tissue have gone) I will remember that I never have a teacher like Mr. Robert and I will never forget him, too.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, May 25, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I woke up late, about 10am because I didn\'t have enough sleep for a week and it makes me feel very tired. I didn\'t go to Mr. Robert\'s second funeral because I have to go to Home Pro with my parents. And we met my aunt and her daughter (my cousin). They came here to buy an air conditioner. We went to an Italian restaurant for our dinner.</p>\n<p>Ps. I chat with Mew from and he looks not the same, like something is wrong. I don\'t know, maybe he\'s upset about something but I ask him and he says nothing wrong. So, I don\'t know what\'s wrong with him.</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, May 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I woke up very late again because today is weekend. I ate lunch at home. <br />Then I had to go to Min Buri city. The reason I have to go there is my dad is building our new house and he wanted to check something and prepared for the next step. <br />He wanted me to drive my care (actually, it\'s my mom\'s car, but she gives it to my brother and me but my brother is in Bangkok for studying Thammasatt University. It\'s my chance to practice and use this car but someone parked a care behind my car and I couldn\'t take it out of my parking lot. So I have to drive my dad\'s car. It\'s a Camry and too big for me. I was very excited and everyone, too. It\'s not only my dad and me but also my mom and Meet. (Can you remember her from the first page?) When we reached there I ask Meet that did you scared of me driving? She answered \"a little bit scared.\" Ha ha ha. I didn\'t tell her that if my mom allow me to drive a car to school, she has to go with me. Ha!<br />After my dad finished checking the house, I drove home. And I asked my dad to comment on my driving. He said good. I am very happy. I\'ve been practicing driving for 6 months. And it\'s getting better every month. YEAH!</p>\n<p>Ps. I chat with my brother and I order him to buy me CD for me. Ha Ha!</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, May 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>The last day of this weekend is today. It\'s very sad. Today I wear red t-shirt. It\'s my favorite color. I didn\'t go out anywhere, just stay at home and played Nintendo DS and watched Korean Series with everyone. My mom cooked noodles. And because she cooked a lot, so we have to eat it for lunch an dinner. Ha! Because I didn\'t go out, so no story today!</p>\n<p>Ps. No Ps.</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, May 28, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today I asked many questions to Mr. Watannakom, he\'s one of the Thai teachers in our program. He answered the questions like a circle, you know? And if he doesn\'t answer my questions, I will ask him again or ask him why you don\'t answer my questions. He\'s like surprised, but it makes me fun. <br />I feel bad about my fish that died in the jar. It makes me feel bad but you know? Nat and May\'s jar, there are 3 fishes died. It makes the water dirty. Ha!<br />I got an extra class after school and I feel tired.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, May 29, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Yesterday, I forgot to talk about the science teacher Mr. Sam. Mr. Sam is wearing a mask all the time. When Naha comes, his teaching is very good and he is very nice but when Naha go, he will change his style very quick. He thinks he is right every time. Everything he do it\'s right. Maybe he forget that no one is perfect in this world. <br />Today, Mr. Hiho (Japanese teacher) told I, May, and the others who study Japanese class that Mr. Naha told him that there are students that told Mr. Naha that they don\'t understand Japanese teaching and he asked \"Is it right?\" WHAT? And he\'s very serious too. We didn\'t tell Naha. It is someone else. He\'s like very angry. I didn\'t do anything. (But I want to change Japanese teacher if I can.) Ha! Ha! ...Yeah! I don\'t like his very Japanese style. It\'s like if you just keep busy like pay attention to your work, ever though you\'re just faking, pretend to be busy, they will think you are a very good teacher. Ha! Ha! Crazy. I didn\'t mean he does nothing but sometimes he thinks his teaching is very good but the truth is we understand nothing, even though I ask him so many times. He force us to remember everything he taught and quickly and we can\'t do that, you know? Who can remember everything that other people tell?</p>\n<p>Ps. Please keep the plastic bottle and can for our class.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, May 30, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today, it\'s a different day. NO SAM! YEAH! Yes! And tomorrow, I don\'t have to go to school. Wooo! Um...I helped my friends collect the bottles and it\'s very fun. I want to help everyday (maybe). I\'m proud that Mr. Evan told me my English has improved. Yeah! I told my mom and she smiled like she proud of me, too. Ha ha...</p>\n<p>Ps. D&eacute;j&agrave; vu 2 times today.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, May 31, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is a holiday, Yeah! Wake up late. No breakfast. Play games. Watch TV. That\'s my styles! Ha ha ha...My dad and grandad\'s sister went to BKK, today. So I stay with my mom. I drove to Min Buri city again, but this time not excited.</p>\n<p><strong>June 2007</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Monday, June 4, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I like Ajarn Mary. She is very kind. I didn\'t finish my homework because I don\'t know how to do. So, I asked her and she wasn\'t mad at me. She talked very polite and try to explain slow for me because I slowly understand math. She never says you are wrong! She always says let\'s do it the other way. And she explain very clear. I really like it. <br />I talked to Mr. Hank about the books problem. We have to carry every book home and can\'t keep them at school. It not make sense much. Why must we do like this? He told me he will help us. He will talk to Naha. <br />Mr. Naha asked me \"why you let your parents talk to the school director about the classroom and the books? Why don\'t you talk to me?\" I think if I talk to him it will be wasting my time. I don\'t tell him but it\'s what I think. He always think he\'s always right in everything. He talked to me 15 minutes but you know...I recorded it. Ha ha ha. I will give to my parents. They will know everything that he talk to me. Yes! Yes! Yes! Pull his mask!<br />In PE class I have to run and record the time. We were very tired. <br />I really hate today. It\'s like every problem is in this day. I was so every tired. Sometime I feel like I\'m alone, nobody doesn\'t want to talk to me or tell me. They always say because I\'m not there. And why they don\'t call me if I\'m not there?</p>\n<p>Ps. Ah...tired. Too many too many problems.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, June 5, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m very tired today. I feel sleepy all day. I don\'t know why but I\'m very, very tired.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, June 6, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Why Naha always find fault with us everyday? I\'m very, very annoyed. He always says our class get many troubles. I think he hate me a lot. He told me that I\'m selfish because my parents talked to the school director. He told me to keep the books at school. He said like if I got the trouble with the books, then he will let me keep the books at school only me. I said it\'s not fair. He said \"yes, that\'s what I wanna hear from you.\" WHAT! ...Naha is very crazy. What he talked to me should go back to him all of it. You know what I mean? <br />And he is very angry about we collect the bottles for recycle. He asked us who start it and Gate said we do it together to keep the money for school project coming. Naha said we don\'t have this policy. The school will give money for this. But I told him we can have money from bottles more than enough but he didn\'t listen to me. (I told him 3 times.) Gate said the money that the school give to us is never enough. Yes, it is the truth but Naha said \"how could it never be enough. The old class did it for a long time and they never have this problem.\" Damn. How could he know it? He never do it? Bad mouth! My sister and other people who did the project before told me that the budget is never enough. You have to pay again. Naha is wrong again! He asked us, \"are you a garbage keeper? You keep like a garbage keeper!\" For that we say, \"dog mouth!\" It is like a dog non-stop barking! One of the younger students told me that he\'s very mad because he collect the bottles to buy water and sell it to students. <br />After he finished barking at the other class he went to our class and yell at us. \"You make another trouble again?\" We didn\'t make the trouble and it is not HIS business, too, to stop us keeping the bottle. We didn\'t do anything wrong . We didn\'t steel money from anyone. We didn\'t sell drug and what we do is clean money. The teacher downstair said to us that\'s a good idea. But why Naha don\'t like it? (I know you know why.) He\'s crazy. But you know he can\'t stop us from this project. We will still do it and we have the place to hide it from him. And may I ask you 1 question? Did the bottles in the other class smell bad?</p>\n<p>Ps. Today I wrote very long. Hope you enjoy it. Ha!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, June 7, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>All three of our classes in one room! That\'s happen in the morning. EP Director Naha came and talk to us about collecting for recycle and IELTS. Boring. I was late so I listened to him only half speech. He\'s very happy. I eon\' know why he\'s very happy and I don\'t want to guess, too. He told us that he want us to help sell food at the Canteen. He will give us money for our project then. I think it is a good idea but I\'m not agree when he said stop taking the bottles and cans for recycle. I don\'t need his help because I guess he wants us to do something after he pays us more than just the money from the Canteen. I don\'t think he is kind enough to pay us all the money we need. And if he wants us to do this thing why he didn\'t talk to us politely yesterday? He always shouts to us or hit us first and then talk normally to us. In Thai, we say hit head then stroke the back. It\'s like you do the bad thing to someone and then you do good to him/ her later. I don\'t like it.</p>\n<p>Ps. The science class will be on Monday. No.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, June 8, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today I had computer class and my computer hand while I was doing my works. It\'s not only one time but too many times. Very, very annoy. So, I talk to Mr. Carl that I wanna do it at home. It is the best way to serve the problem. When I came back home, I found something that is unbelievable from internet. I found the letter from Ministry of Education. We are not on the list of real EPs in Thailand! Oh my Buddha! What should I do to make it right?</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, June 9, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I woke up very, very late. I went to ECC to study Japanese class with Bin and Nit. When class finished, it rained. I hate rain! It can make me wet and cold. Sometimes I may catch the cold from rain.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, June 10, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Science will be on tomorrow! I hate this subject! Very boring! Not fair, not fair...I don\'t want to go to school tomorrow. No! Life is unfair.</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, June 11, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is my cousin\'s birthday. She is 22 years old now. I like to talk to her and I can talk to her about everything. Last year, she lived with me. I enjoyed talking to her a lot, maybe cause her age is nearly to her. <br />I heard from On that Naha talked to her in the morning. He told her that there is one student called to the director and told him that he or she wants Naha to get out, if not he or she will write news. And Naha thinks it is me. But I didn\'t do that! Why he always think who talk to the director is me all the time!? Everything is what I do, my fault. But I didn\'t and never want to do that! I\'m very angry what he said to On. I am really disappointed.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, June 12, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Pan got a wound on her toe because of the desk. Her blood drop on the floor. Everyone standing and try to said to her &lsquo;breathe\' or &lsquo;long breath\' something like that.<br />In Japanese class I argued with Mr. Hiho and I won. Yeah! I\'m very happy. <br />In the afternoon, we (all EP students) had to go to the University for listen about study in the UK. The younger students went with Naha by bus. The rest of us had to walk. Unfair! Unfair! But Go take his car to school so I went with him, May, Pan, Ban, Cartoom, and Jo. Ha! <br />At the University, there are many students and it is like the pressure around me. I met Wit. (Can you remember him?) We talked to each other a little bit. (I meet him every Monday and Friday at the extra class.) Naha (again) wanted us to do his worksheet about the study abroad. We have to write the name of the school and the place something like that. Very crazy! You know we copy each other a lot. Ha! His idea is kind of like crazy, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, June 13, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I feel sleepy all day. Mr. Hank tried to tell me that if you fight with Naha, you will never win! I try to tell him that I never want to win. I never say I wanna win but he didn\'t liten to me and started talk about his life (again). He always talks on and on about his life and never teaches. I\'m very upset that he didn\'t listen to me and try to say that I will never win. I didn\'t want to win but I want my rights and do the right things. What Naha did to us is not right. This is not about win or lose but it\'s about right or wrong.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, June 14, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I really dislike science teacher Mr. Sam. He think he is God teacher. Ha! I don\'t want to hear he says anything ever again. I think life is really unfair. <br />Someone in our class got a good grade by let someone do all their work. Unfair...unfair...I would be proud if I do all my work by myself and get a good grade. But if I copy or let someone do my work, I wouldn\'t be so proud.</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, June 18, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Oh! Math test is very, very, very, very, very, very, difficult. Maybe I am not good at Math, so I think it\'s really hard. Today we got 2 science classes. And I told Mr. Sam that his answer always right and very good. Ha ha ha...but sorry, just joking. <br />I think Mr. George hates me. He told Mr. Watana that I\'m very bad student, always get trouble. I don\'t like the way he talks to me. He always wanna top me. He told me that \"Thai government said teachers always right.\" I think it\'s really crazy. I told him to show me the evidence. Then I will accept that because I don\'t agree with him. No teacher always right because anyone can make mistake. I think he is another teacher who is always thing that he is God teacher. <br />I am very happy to see Boi back from America. Her English is really, really, good. What about mine? (Joking)<br />EP webmaster answered my email. I asked her that I want to know how many schools in our province have EPs? She answered me, but she didn\'t say about our school yet. I will send it again and ask her \"What about our school?\" I don\'t know if we are a real EP.</p>\n<p>Ps. I have another test tomorrow that is Geography.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, June 19, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am very, very tired. I don\'t wanna write today.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, June 20, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Mr. Naha came to our classroom and talk, talk, and talk. He told us about the project that we HAVE TO do. He complained about one student parent\'s phoned the school director and tell him that he must get Naha out, if not, see ya! Something like that. And Mr. Naha thinks that it\'s MY parents. And he said to us your parents have no BRAIN or brain damage, something like that and he stared at me. I really, really, really, really, hate him and really angry. I wanna kick his stupid head to take the germs out of his head so he can think like normal person. I told my parents about his. I think if he says it one more time, my dad will come talk to him about this SURE! Now, my parents didn\'t say anything. It didn\'t mean they are not upset and accept that. Mr. Naha, go to hell!</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, June 21, 2007 </strong></p>\n<p>Oh! Yesterday, I forgot to tell you I got 40 out of 40 in Geography test. Ha ha. I\'m very proud! Today, I argued with Mr. Sam and I won! But I won\'t tell you about it. (Ask someone)</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, June 25, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Science teacher Mr. Sam thought I slept in his class but I didn\'t ! I really hate when he looks at me. It\'s like in his mind, he always thinks that I\'m stupid and he is super clever teacher! Bad, very very bad...He shouldn\'t be a teacher...he should be a farmer who really want to breath fresh air and eat clean veggy and also live 150 years. <br />Damn! <br />He really excited to talk about history of Mr. Sam and it\'s really his-story! But no wanted to know...Ha ha ha...He always pronouns my name WRONG. It\'s not a boy\'s name. I\'m a GIRL. He also told us that he is not looking for a girl in Thailand because he thinks most women in Thailand have HIV/AIDS! He don\'t want to get HIV from Thailand. Did he think all women in Thailand are really easy!? I can\'t believe this! UNBELIEVABLE! <br />I really hate 1 girl and she is my friend but not best friend cuz I don\'t want her to be my best friend. She always bothers my friends who have boyfriend. It\'s like she will touch my friend\'s boyfriend. And I really hate that. And if I got one and she does this to me, I will kick her and we will end the friendship because I can\'t handle it. I can\'t accept the people like this in my life. And also that person already has her OWN boyfriend!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, June 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I think I make many teachers have a hard time. Ha ha. But I like it! But I really worry about my grade. Maybe it can affect my grade. I really hope it won\'t happen to me. I wanna go to Korea!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, June 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I start to feel like I have many troubles in my life. I feel hopeless about the grades. I don\'t know...but I don\'t wanna talk to anyone about this. Sometimes I hurt inside, but nobody knows, nobody cares. I care everyone show is supposed to care but they don\'t care me. And I don\'t know why...</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, June 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am very happy to meet Dim. Umm...I really hate Japanese class. I don\'t like Mr. Hiho. He doesn\'t like me. And he shows his reaction that he doesn\'t like me. When I ask him, he doesn\'t answer me. AHHH!</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, June 28, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>AHHHHH I got a pimple! NO! Because I don\'t get enough sleep, SURE! This week I have 3 tests, 2 Japanese and 1 science. AHH, gonna die.</p>\n<p><strong>July 2007</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, July 3, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I passed AFS test (again). I have to take an interview this Sunday. I chose to go to Japan because I really like Japanese. When you pronounce Japanese it\'s really cute. Ha..ha..ha.. However, I talked to my mom and she said \"No matter if you pass an interview test, we can\'t let you go because we don\'t have enough money. It cost 500,000 baht. It\'s really big money. And now we don\'t have it.\" I\'m really sad. I wonder why my brother could go but I can\'t. My brother went to America and he bought PS2, Nintendo DS and MP3 player. But for me, I have to buy my own money. I feel like I hate him. I can pass a test but I don\'t have a chance to go.</p>\n<p>Ps. Wipe my tears...</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, July 4, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today Ajarn Kanchana talked to me about doing an EP video. It\'s like he want me to introduce or say something about EP and he will record it for showing people who are from the Ministry of Education. They will come to our school for a check up. And I don\'t know why Mr. Naha wants to show off that it\'s very good. If it\'s good 100%, why he doesn\'t let them see the real class. I mean ... why not show that some teachers suck! I always complain. I\'m so tired but if I don\'t take extra classes I don\'t know what I need for entrance, especially Japanese. And when I ask a question in Japanese class, he doesn\'t want to answer me. <br />Anyway, Ajarn Kanchana choose me and Dim for this. I don\'t want to do it. I NEVER want to do it. But they force me to do, so I will do it badly. Ha..ha..ha.. They said they choose me cuz I\'m good but I never say I\'m good. I told them to choose another student but they didn\'t. I told Apple and May that I don\'t want to do it and Apple\'s reaction show by her face. I think they don\'t want to do, too. But there are few students who want to do this and they said I\'m good so it\'s me. But I don\'t think so. I think Apple thought I\'m selfish that I\'m not want to do this because I saw he face. But I think I\'m not selfish. Because I said it already I DON\"T WANT TO DO! And the reason is I don\'t want talk to Mr. Hiho. I really hate him. He\'s a bad teacher. Anyway, they are selfish, not me. I told them many times that I hate Hiho and don\'t want to talk to him but they force me to do this. So, I will make it worse much as I can. I know that they don\'t wanna do, too. They are also good at talking Japanese. They can read. They know the words. Why they force me to do? I don\'t understand. I told everyone already that I don\'t want to do anything about i. But everyone act like I\'m so selfish. I wanna ask them, too. \"Who is really selfish, me or you?\"</p>\n<p>Ps. Please shut up, Ajarn Kanchana!</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, July 5, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t want to do the interview for Kanchana but I have to. The reason is I have no idea about it and also I will have to do what I said yesterday. Not enough. I have to take four Japanese tests. However, my friends who choose to learn Chinese take only 1 test, 20 questions and also they can copy! This week is completely the worst. I am so tired. Many midterm examinations, homework, News Show project, 2 Thai subject projects. All are trying to kill me. First They wanted me to write about EP in Japanese but I said NO! I promise you it\'s not easy like Chinese because Chinese has no tenses, no past, present and future. In Japanese, negative sentence is not like put \"not\" after verb to be but you have to change verb in another form and there are many, long form, short form, past, present. It\'s not easy to think and write it down like this Journal. I make a deal with Ajarn Kanchana. If he don\'t give me Japanese script, I won\'t do it. Ha! But you know? I\'m really tired. If I can choose, I don\'t want to do the interview and give my friend who study Chinese to do it.</p>\n<p>Ps. Long complain come back!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, July 24, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>After Midterm Exams, I\'m still tired. Maybe because I have to wake up early more than before 1 hour. My scores are OK. Ummmmm...I wonder why people always judge others by the outside.? For example, when a girl\'s walking with a boy, people will think they get together. I mean girlfriend and an boyfriend. And it happens to me. Oh! What the heck!? When I am very close with someone (actually boy), it doesn\'t mean I am his girlfriend. But my friends like to make fun of me and him. Ah...and I hate that!</p>\n<p>Ps. My mom allowed me to drive to school. Don\'t laugh and don\'t be frightened!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, July 25, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today, Mr. Naha came to our class and talked, talked, talked. Boring! First period Mr. Hank brought a DVD Rainman and it\'s really sad. Like I said yesterday, \"people always judge others by the outside.\" It happened in this movie. And today, Ms. Kanchana didn\'t come because she had to go somewhere. So we played around. Ha ha ha...I really thanks to Ajarn Evan that give me a chance to re-do the test. Thank you.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, July 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>After school, I had to study Chinese extra class. I drove to school, so I drove to the place that I study extra class with Dim and On. They really scared of my driving and they always talk about it all day. It\'s a pressure for me because this is my first week of driving to school. It\'s really sad.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, July 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>All EP students had to go to the University for a competition but I didn\'t. Meet, my cousin, (can you remember her?) went to Bangkok to meet her family. I had to send Thai report to my friends. I went with Ou and I let him drove my car. Actually, he drives very well and better than me. On went with us and she always says she feels safety when he drives all the time. It makes me sad. Ah...</p>\n<p><br /><strong>Saturday, July 28, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I studied an extra class with Dim and On but today On is absent because she went to Bangkok with her family for watching wrestling. I hope she will enjoy watching it.</p>\n<p><br /><strong>Sunday, July 29, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is my grandmother\'s birthday. I had to go to Min Buri because she lives there with my aunty. She is very old now, about 80 up. Sometimes, she forgets about something, like she forgets my name today but tomorrow she can remember it. I met my cousins. I talked a lot to them. We shared what is happening to us. I complained about what is happening to me. (again) And I feel like I let my feeling out and it made me feel better.</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, July 30, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I had to stay home ALONE! Really sad... My parents went to Bangkok to send my brother there. And I wanna stay home because I have 2 days extra classes. It\'s today and tomorrow. They trust me to stay home alone but it\'s not really home ALONE because they sent my cousin to live with me. My mom called me every 4 hours (like taking pills) for asking \"What are you doing?\" I know they cared me a lot. My cousin is the same age as my brother. Her name is Kaew. When we have problems, we will talk to each other. We share our experience and we talk about everything. She is really good. I love HER!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, July 31, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is the last day of the month and I got salary. (maybe you say allowance?) YEAH! Before I got 1,500 baht but from this month I get 2,000 baht. That is a good news. However, I have to buy stuffs by myself. That is a bad news. I studied Chinese 4 hours with On and Dim. Ah...tomorrow, it will be grammar test. Oh! I could forgot it.</p>\n<p><strong>August 2007</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Monday, August 6, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>This week I have no car for driving to school. Someone (I don\'t wanna say who) borrowed my car, so I don\'t have a car! (For this week.) It really annoys me because I can\'t go anywhere by myself. I have to wait for my mom to bring me to school or home. Some days she is busy. I have to wait for a long time. Someone (I can\'t remember who) said, \"It\'s good, right? You have a car. When you don\'t have it, you get mad.\" It is true. Now I\'m getting MAD! I feel like I have to decide by depending on my parents. Oh, I want my car.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 7, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>It rained all day and it is still raining NOW! It started raining last night. I hate rain! It is my big trouble. It is not easy to go to anywhere. And it is easy to catch cold. I got another assignment and I (also my friends) am lazy to do it. Ha...ha...ha...</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 8, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Rain again...boring...I have to do a lot of homework today. I have to send it tomorrow. Ah...get back to work.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 9, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>He just came back! He just came back from traveling with his family! And he taught us in the fourth period. I don\'t know why but he talked very fast today. And I totally didn\'t understand what he said. But I didn\'t ask him to explain more or speak again because I didn\'t want to make any communication with him. Oh! I forgot to tell you who he is!? Mr. Sam the hated science teacher! He is the cutest teacher in the English Program. I\'m not joking. (I\'m joking.) After he came back, he\'s still cutest. Ha! Ha!<br />Another bad news, my parents didn\'t allow me to go abroad in the AFS program and good news for me but bad news for everyone. I got my car back!</p>\n<p>Ps. What for clef? Is that a complete sentence? Our music teacher speaks like that! I know he\'s Thai but what\'s that? What for clef? Sounds like me in M1...Ha! Ha!</p>\n<p><strong>Friday August 10, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>In the morning, all the students had to be stuck in the football field because we had to celebrate mother\'s day. And most of the other M5 class skipped school! There were on 5 student\'s in that class. That is so funny! <br />We studied Thai for first period. Second period was Japanese and Chinese. All of us skipped that class! Ha...Ha...Ha...I think I was the first who get out of the classroom. We planned to skip because we are sick of Mr. Hiho, who now we call Mr. Robotto (haha). And today we had a chance to skip so we did. All of us played computer games in the computer room. We played card games online together. Umm...Can you remember I hate 1 girl who has strange behavior? You won\'t believe this because it is happening to me! But...but...I didn\'t have any boyfriend. How could this happen to me? OK...I will tell ya!<br />I have 1 close friend. He is a boy. Everyone thinks he is my boyfriend but the truth he is not. And yeah...she thinks he is my boyfriend. She TRIED to touch him, talk to him, or sit next to him. When he and I sit and talk to each other, she sees us, she will utter &lsquo;ahem\' to stop us talking. It\'s really bother me. I don\'t understand why she does that? I hate her. I tried to say, \"don\'t bother\" or \"please go away\" but it\'s not work. She told my best friend that he (my close friend) sweets on me. I don\'t understand she said like that? It is not her business to tell my best friend. I really hate her. Why did she come into my life?</p>\n<p>Ps. I wanna kill her!</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, August 11, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m really angry with my mom. Today I had an extra class. It finish at 4pm. She picked me up at 5pm! I was waiting for her for 1 hour. I\'m angry because she didn\'t tell me before that she will pick me up late. And before when she picks me up and I\'m late only 10 minutes, she will be upset. She always says, \"do you know I have to wait for you 10 minutes. It is 10 minutes I have to wait for you!\" Ahhhh...so annoying.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, August 12, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I didn\'t go anywhere. Today is mother\'s day and also my best friend\'s birthday. I just ate, played games and sleep all day. Such a relax day. I didn\'t do any homework. Ha...ha...bad...That\'s bad! (But I don\'t care.)</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, August 13, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today I didn\'t have to go to school. That was GREAT! But I had an extra class. (a little tear) I went there with Dim from the regular program. Oh! On Told me that this week there won\'t be Chinese extra class. Yeah! Part ! No...just kidding. Yes, yes, yes no extra class this week!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 14, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Oh! Back to school! Today, we had 2 guest speakers. They came from Switzerland. They are really nice. They speak French. However, their accent is really hard to understand. They said I look like a Japanese girl. <br />The air conditioner couldn\'t turn on in the morning and Mr. George was really upset. He didn\'t teach us. He was wet and walked around with no smile. <br />I think the girl that I hate might know that I hate her. Every time she walks by or sits or stands with us, I stay away from her. She also stopped touching my friend or even sitting next to him. However, I still hate her. I also hate an writing assignment that I got today. I can\'t think about it. I don\'t know what I should write. I have no idea. Oh! In first period, I and On studied Japanese. The others didn\'t come. They went to make their passports. Mr. Hiho wrote \"I thing\" on the board. It should be \"I think,\" so I said I think, not thing. It sounds like I think nothing. It\'s very funny. And On laughed like non-stop.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 15, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Before we had the grammar test, I read the stuff that\'s about the test. But while I was doing the test, I totally forgot it! Bad luck! <br />I am really bored with Ajarn Suanneepan. Her teaching style is suck! She may think we just a little kid who don\'t understand anything about English. In her period, I tried so hard to stay awake. Her monotone is always trying to make us sleep. Also, the information that she gives us is look and sound Thai. Actually, it\'s English because she translated it. But it\'s really look like Thai style. You know what I mean? She\'s very proud that her translation is really GOOD!? But you know it looks like Thai style. When you read it, you will know. <br />Almost are whole class went to the mall today. We went by my Civic 3 door car. Can you imagine that? Seven teens stuck in a tiny car, and two of them is big and fat! We ate an ice-cream together at Swenson\'s. (How do you spell that?) It\'s really good time. We talked to each other and laughed together. I loved it. Oh! I came to school at 7am with Mean to give food to the monks. That\'s a great time, too.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, August 16, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today, we had our science classes. Mr. Sam, the hated science teacher, said that if we bring in a certain movie to his class and would let us watch it. So, we brought it, but he didn\'t let us watch it. He said we could watch it next time. My friend asked when. He said he doesn\'t know when but we will. And he laughed. Damn! I totally understood his &lsquo;WILL.\' It means we will not now. And we can say &lsquo;WILL\' anytime and ti still means &lsquo;WILL.\' It is not the same as we say &lsquo;tomorrow\' today. Tomorrow, when we wake up. Tomorrow from yesterday means today. You know what I mean? He wanted us to do the stupid experiment. That we knew about it before when we was in Grade 5th.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 21, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Back to school...The Ministry of Education came today to check our program. Then they came to our class while we were studying with Mr. Evan. (you) We were so excited. My mind was off. I understood nothing. Ha...ha...ha...I got another assignment again...ah!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 22, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Mr. George was upset in our class. He didn\'t talk or teach, just wrote on the board read these pages and answer these questions! We had to write an essay ( which we very hate!) at least 100 words. He also said even M1 wrote at least 500 words. I don\'t understand why he\'s always upset in my class. Oh! Maybe yesterday Kim asked him a question which Mew already asked him before. He thought that we talked and didn\'t pay attention to him but why we can\'t ask the questions twice??? If we don\'t understand or think about the other thing (but in the lesson), that means we didn\'t pay attention to the teacher!? Damn...</p>\n<p>Ps. They came again and borrowed my car again! (a lot of tears)</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, August 23, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>We had a stupid and bad English music test. I can\'t understand what Mr. Mitanna teaches. He said something in English but I understood nothing. I can\'t understand his English because it sucks! It\'s really annoying me. Ahhh...</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, August 24, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is the last day of one of my extra classes. I feel very, good. Oh! Yesterday, she came back again and said something which I don\'t like! You know who? That girl I really hate. She is really annoying me.</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, August 25, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t have anything to write, today!</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, August 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>It was a terrible day! There was a party at a place where they sell Izuzu cars. (I don\'t know what it\'s called?) My father\'s best friend wanted to go there to make news. He invited my family to go there. I didn\'t want to go because I know that there will be a lot of people and I hate that! However, I had to go. (very sad) When I got there , it\'s like a billion of people. That made me have a headache! The party was suck! A lot of people = A lot of perfume = headache + annoying. I really wanted to go home but I had to wait until the end of the party. When that time came, it was like I won the lottery and someone whispered to my brain that &lsquo;GO HOME! YEAH!</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, August 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m wearing new contact lens. They make my black eyes look bigger, we called it big eyes. However, they don\'t make my black eyes look bigger so much because mine are big already. My last contact lens made my life get worst. Many trouble happened during the time I wore them. Ha...ha...Maybe if I change them, it will make my life better.</p>\n<p>Ps. Just a silly thought!</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 28, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I had an extra class. I had homework. I needed to sleep but I couldn\'t ! Can you imagine this? You\'re talking on the phone and then someone who you\'re talking to went to sleep suddenly. And you just talk to an empty phone. What would you do?</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 29, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Time is always going and doesn\'t wait for anyone. I haven\'t finished all my homework! What should I do?</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, August 30, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am crying. My cat is gone, gone forever. Her name is See-nin. It means black in Thai. We gave that name because she has black hair covering her body. I had an extra class after school and when I came back home, my Dad said Seem-nin was dead. I was shocked and almost cry. He told me that he came too late. She just died at the time my Dad got home. My parents guess that some stupid, idiot, crazy, jerk, guy had ride motorcycle and hit her at her head. (He really need to go to hell!) She\'s gone about at almost 1pm. We are really, really sad, even my Dad who don\'t pay with her so much. I love her so much. She made me laugh when I am mad. I talk to her when I feel alone. I hug her when I am sad. But now she is not here. My mom grow some beauty plant at her grave. However, I have not enough brave to go there.</p>\n<p><strong>October 2007</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Monday, October 22, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Oh! Come back kitties! Bad news - my two new kitties are gone. First, one died in front of me. Did you ever see someone die in front of you?</p>\n<p>That day was a normally day like everyday. My mom didn\'t stay at home. I was alone. At noon my dad came back home. He drove into the garage and rolled over my kitty\'s head. I don\'t know why he wanna drive into the garage at noon because he always goes out after finishing lunch. There was not cat sound. When my dad got to the door, he looked back and saw my kitty struggle with her head under the wheel! So he moved the car quickly but that was too late.</p>\n<p>She is gone... Her name is &lsquo;sing-toe.\' It means lion because she looks like a lion.</p>\n<p>I screamed and cried so hard. If I didn\'t see that shed died in front of me, maybe I wouldn\'t cry. But I saw everything... Her body is with See-nin, my last cat. Her mom felt very bad. I saw she was around my kitty\'s grave for one week after her daughter is gone. The truth is she has three children. The first one is gone because a big bad dog bit her back and her backbone is broken. The second one is &lsquo;Sing-toe.\' The third one is &lsquo;So-ting.\' His name is a spoonerism of Sing-toe. Guess who gave them names? Me! Ha..ha.. Another bad news - Sing-ting disappeared after Sing-toe died but their mom still is at home.</p>\n<p>Ps. I miss them and you also! Ha ha...</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, October 23, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I started studying Thai-Social extra class with Pawn. The dates are from 16-28 October and the time is 7:30am to 12:45pm. Damn! I have to wake up earlier than when I go to school. However, I enjoy studying this extra class. It is fun and helpful for the entrance exam. To tell you the truth, I go late everyday. Ha ha. You can ask Pawn if you don\'t believe me.</p>\n<p>The class is about 20 people. In front of me there are two lesbian girls who sit together. When I see them, my arms hairs will go up even though I don\'t have hairs on my arms. Horrible! But that\'s not enough! There are also the lovers who sit in back. The are not a normal lovers like the others. They are CRAZY lovers! I hate them both. They are so annoying! The girl laughs very loud and in a very high tone! She is so annoying!? She makes me have a bad mood. She wears glasses and makes two pony tails. I don\'t know what it is called. She looks like this picture. They are so weird.!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, October 24, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I will tell you the truth. I stopped helping them work for sports day. They didn\'t plan. They said it is a plan for them but it is not a plan for me. It is just the equipments that we have to do for stand and cheer. They also talk not polite to me. It sounds like they are very professional. I don\'t wanna argue with them because it is wasting our time. <br />Ps. I love...me!</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, October 25, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I didn\'t study extra class. I skipped! I went to Bangkok. I am very tired.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, October 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today I am so happy because the weird lovers didn\'t come to extra class but only the boy. That\'s so bad. If they don\'t come, I will be more happy than today. And I figured out some ting that is...the girl didn\'t laugh so loud today. I don\'t why but maybe her boyfriend didn\'t come so she doesn\'t know who will listen to her laughing.</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, October 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Today is the last day of this extra class and the last day of my break, too. The class finished very late but I still enjoyed studying. My aunty was in the hospital because her large intestine is bigger than it was so she can\'t poo-poo. Very bad. I am broken. That\'s very bad. However, it\'s only three days and then I will get my next allowance.</p>\n<p>Ps. I don\'t wanna go to school.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, October 29, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Yesterday, I talked to my mom about So-ting, my last kitty. We wondered why he left. My mom said someone stole him but I said maybe a snake ate him because I don\'t believe that he tames enough to trust other people, because sometimes when I touch him, he escapes. And today we saw a small snake in front of our house. My mom said she believes me now.</p>\n<p>Oh! Oh! Today is the first day of the semester. We had Mr. Sam\'s class. We started to make him want to put his head against the wall, again! Ha..ha..ha.. First, we interrupted him by asking questions every minute and then he walked out of the room to do something that I don\'t know what. We grabbed our bags and ran out suddenly! But Pawn and Piece didn\'t come with us. We went downstairs and stayed in the classroom on the 2nd floor. And we discussed to each other. And we decided to go back so we went upstairs and he wasn\'t there. We sat at our seats looking like nothing happened. Then he came back and taught us again but we still made trouble.</p>\n<p>At second period, we started working on sport day. We are staff and practice M1 and M2 cheering. In the afternoon I went to Nap and Keen\'s house to get the equipment for cheering at school.</p>\n<p>Ps. I like Mr. Sam! (When he hates us.)</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, October 30, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I ate lunch with Bomb, Ding, and Ding\'s girlfriend. And then we went to school. I helped them work for sport day.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, October 31, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I stayed at home but Ajarn Bunn called me and said we have to go to the university to do something at 8:30am I am very lazy to go there because there are exhibitions. A lot of people, hard to breathe, hot. NO GOOD.</p>\n<p><strong>November 2007</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, November 1, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I had to go to the university but I skipped because I wake up very late. Ha..ha..</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, November, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I went to the temple at Udonthani with my aunties, my cousins and my nephews. There were many people. We made the alms. I don\'t know what it is called in English. It\'s like we made the restaurant in the temple and we give food to everyone who wants it. We made the toasts. It was very fun. Some rural people don\'t know what is bread. Could you imagine that? We had to sleep at the temple, because it was very cold. So I didn\'t take a bath. Don\'t tell my friends. Shh... We had to wake up very early to give the food to the monks. I met Team. Do you remember him from M3? He even told me he missed you. After that I came back home and took a bath. Then I fell asleep.</p>\n<p>Ps. Because I didn\'t have time to write yesterday, so wrote today. Please FORGIVE ME!</p>\n<p>Pss. I forgot to tell you my mom and dad went to Nan yesterday and came back today.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, November 4, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I stayed at home today. I am doing a cross-stitch. This is one is very big and it is the biggest one I ever did. I am excited to finish it. I never finished the big cross-stitch because I will be bored when I feel it is so hard to do. But this one I will fight my laziness. FIGHTING!</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, November 5, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am nothing in everything and I am everything in nothing. Is it the same?</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, November 6, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I went to school to play my friend\'s PSP. I was very excited to play it because I\'ve never played it before. I have only Nintendo DS. I gave him Nintendo DS and he gave me PSP.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, November 7, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>My brother came back from Bangkok. I drove my car to pick him up. He is so different. He changed his styled like from black to white. He also has a girlfriend! First girlfriend. It\'s very funny for me. My parents were very happy to see him.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, November 8, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I went to school and Bomb called me that Note-Udom came to Min Bury and now he is at the university. He performed. His show is a one man talking show. It started at 2pm but it was 230pm when he called. I, Bomb, Pin went there. First Ding would go but he was in a bad mood and he decided not to go. Note-Udom is very funny. Even though we go went there one hour late but we could still laugh.</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, November 9, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I went to school to decorate the stands for cheering. We had to set up the equipment to cheer. Our color is blue or azure. We are at the end. Tomorrow I have to go there a 5am. Ahhh....</p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, November 10, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am so tired. I don\'t have enough energy to write so I will write tomorrow. Now GOOD BYE! Hello!</p>\n<p><strong>Sunday, November 11, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Yesterday I woke up a 5am and went to school. I ate breakfast with Ten, Ding, and Bomb. In the morning, I went to Building 8 with Bomb because we would check the sound and the other things for the cheering. We didn\'t do well in the morning. Oh! I saw you but I didn\'t call you.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I stayed under stage in front of the stands. It\'s very hot and it\'s only a little space to site. We, the staff, went up the stage and danced. It\'s very fun. We laughed. We were very happy. We sand a song together. Our team got only two prizes, one for football and one for cheering. However, we didn\'t get the biggest prize. Everyone said we should have got it. The judges that gave the first prize were in that group that got it! Then we kept stuff and ended about 1pm.</p>\n<p>When we finished, everyone went somewhere. But I, Pond, Pawn, Ding and Bomb went to Ding\'s restaurant. We had lunch together and we talked together about the work. I came back home very late about 3pm. I was so tired. Today, I stayed at home and didn\'t take a bath. Ha..ha.. My brother went back to Bangkok at 10am but I couldn\'t get out of my bed to say GOOD BYE to him. Ha..ha..</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, November 19, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Sometimes the teachers want to show that they are more clever than the students. Sometimes the teachers want to show that they are very rich. SUCK! Some teachers like to talk about themselves to themselves and nobody understand them. I don\'t understand why my \"super clever teacher\" always answers very long and also has the very beautiful drawings but I can conclude his answer with three or four words. It\'s wasting our time.</p>\n<p>I am very upset with Ajarn Pimporn. He never listens to the students. Maybe when the students give him a suggestion, he thinks his is better. Even though the students are better or right. He never accepts any suggestions. I don\'t know and wonder why. He lies to me. I know he can\'t do because no one in this world can do but he lies that he can\'t do because he didn\'t stupid. What da heck!? We are M5. We have good brains enough to think reasonable about the fact. We aren\'t M1 that just sit and try to listen and try to understand what the teacher is saying.</p>\n<p>Ps. I hate them.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, November 20, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>Japanese is stuck in my head. We have to take a test on December 2nd and there is only 15 days left. I have not finished reading my books. I am really lazy to read. No...no... I have many things to do in one day.</p>\n<p>Ps. TAKE IT EASY!</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, November 21, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I use my new pencil to write in my journal. My dad bought four pencils, black, red, blue, and yellow. He gave the black one to me and the yellow one to my mom. He will give the blue one to my brother and he uses the red one. So, we have the same pencil. Even though I don\'t want it but I have to take it and use it. If not, he will be upset and not talk to me. He likes to call my mom \"lao.\" It\'s not Laos but it means old in Chinese. I think he is very happy that he gave his family the same brand of pencil and he bought it very cheap, only five baht and it\'s not bad. He really loves the computer. When he comes back home, after he takes a shower, he always sits in front of the computer and click, click, and click. He is addicted to the computer. He likes to dlownload Korean drama series for my mom. He also pauses my dlownloads to cut the line for my mom, even though my file is smaller than his. Not fair! But I don\'t want to argue with him because I never beat my dad. He always is right. If he says it is right and we say it\'s wrong, he will be upset.</p>\n<p>My mom says my eyes look like a Panda. WHAT!? But I\'m a rabbit with my teeth.</p>\n<p>Did you ever feel like you want to go back to a kid again? And why? Answer please:</p>\n<p>Sure, I\'ve thought about. I think it about mostly because I would know so much and it would be a tremendous advantage over the other kids. Also, I\'d have far less responsibility. It\'s easy being a kid.</p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, November 22, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I am sick of Mr. Sam. He is not a teacher. He wanted us to write ANY question about the climate or the weather or whatever in the sky on Monday. He answered them today. He made me mad because he didn\'t answer my question. He skipped my question! How could it be? He is a liar. I asked him \"What is the difference between El Nino and El Nina? He didn\'t know the answer and he said \"We don\'t really need to know that. I have no idea.\" He said he would answer every question but he skipped mine. He is A LIAR!</p>\n<p>Ps. I hate him ALL TIME!</p>\n<p><strong>Friday, November 23, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>He answered my question but I still don\'t understand it. Ha..ha..</p>\n<p><strong>Monday, November 26, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I really hate on teacher from the regular program. His name is Suripatanek. He is really rude. He tries to make himself like a god, can control everything in his life. But it\'s not!!! He talks very bad to the students. Do you want to know what happened? Please answer yes. OK! I will tell you.</p>\n<p>Bomb went to school late and me too. RT (Rude Teacher) wrote students name who are late. I don\'t know why he has to do that every morning because teachers should teach the students to help them understand, not do the silly stuff like this and get the salary. I heard he teaches English. I would be glad, if he reads my journal. RT wrote Bomb\'s name. Bomb then waited for me. He shouted at Bomb: Go! Go! No waiting! It\'s like he really angry with his wife??? Then Bomb walked out and spitted. OH...MY...God... RT heard that and thought Bomb spitted for him, so he was extremely angry like a black hurricane, because he is black and fat and always wears sunglasses which is so cool in his mind. He barked at Bomb to come. Bomb came. RT asked why Boom spitted. Bomb said: \"Because I have mucus.\" RT said something impolite and hit Bomb\'s arm. OH...My...God... Every student looked at them including me. They talked about \"dad.\" I didn\'t hear everything clearly. I was shocked.</p>\n<p>They looked at each other like tigers. Then RT said something. Bomb walked away. When Bomb disappeared, RT cursed to Bomb direction. I thi9nk he fears Bomb. If he didn\'t, he would have cursed in front of him. Then RT walked up to me and asked: \"Is he waiting for you?\" I said, \"Yes, he catches a cold. He said, \"I saw him since school opened. He said to me his is sick!\" Actually, he shouted. Then I said, \"It\'s up to you to think about it.\" He stopped barking and wrote my name and let me go.</p>\n<p>I don\'t understand why he became a teacher because he didn\'t love any students. He wants to be a mafia, a big, black, fat mafia. No one in this school loves him for sure. I don\'t understand why he had to hit Bomb. If he wants to get back why he don\'t just spit back to him. He is really rude. I hate the teacher like this! He didn\'t love his job. Damn! And the truth is Bomb really caught a cold. He asked me for tissues but I don\'t have it. Oh! One question: Why do adults always teach that we have to solve the problem by using our brains, not by fighting? But even MY teacher who is old, solves his problem by fighting. If they can\'t do what they say, why tell us to do it? Why is this? Please answer in the space down under.</p>\n<p>Ajarn Evan\'s opinion: Not all teachers say one thing and do another. I think it is important to judge each person and each teacher individually. Some teachers are just not right for teaching, yet here they are teaching. In the end, someone who says one thing and does the opposite, shows weak character.</p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, November 27, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>I really hate my new computer assignment. It is really hard because it takes very long to finish so my eyes are so tired. And it is so confusing it makes my head want to explode.</p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, November 28, 2007</strong></p>\n<p>My homework almost makes me not breathe. My teacher wants to kill me.

Whether that was a mistake I don\'t know but perhaps in some airless office at the bottom of a dark corridor, there are one or two female administrative assistants breathing a huge sigh of relief. Only Ryan really knows.</p>\n<p>Ryan came to Bangkok on a whim. He was a qualified teacher struggling to find a full-time position in his native Canada and decided to risk everything and give Bangkok a whirl. As you do.</p>\n<p>He\'s picked up at the airport by the giggly Joop (the school secretary) and taken to his dank dusty teacher digs in the middle of nowhere. Going on Ryan\'s description of his first Thailand home, I would have been back at the airport within the hour. But these Canadians are obviously not quitters. Even before the second or third chapter, those of you have been through something similar will already be feeling for the guy. He certainly makes a massive case for never arranging a job before you actually set foot on Thai soil.</p>\n<p>The \'accommodation included\' qualifies on account of its four walls and a roof, but this is just the beginning. Before long, he\'s got well-meaning Thai neighbors fussing over him after getting bitten by a scorpion. He shares a teacher\'s room with some of the strangest characters to ever wield a board marker. And of course there are the countless invitations to karoake evenings and stuffy restaurant dinners (all arranged with no advance warning) from the school owner and various head honchos.</p>\n<p>Things do eventually start to go smoothly but it\'s not long before administrative cock-ups and pointless teacher meetings start to rear their ugly heads. We\'ve all been there but it\'s always reassuring to know that some other teacher has been asked to present himself in the meeting room at 5pm sharp without the foggiest idea why.</p>\n<p>I won\'t spoil the ending but it\'s certainly a messy one. There\'s an alleged broken contract, an angry school dictator, and a confused teacher caught in the middle. This is life as a chalkie in Thailand. I can\'t say any more than that.</p>\n<p>My criticisms are minor. I felt a tad cheated by the front cover graphic depicting a nude girl sitting on the end of the bed, gazing out wistfully at the moon and stars, and waiting for her English teacher to arrive. The mind boggles at exactly what the lesson content was on that particular evening but sadly our voyeuristic expectations go unmet. And secondly the final chapter comes to something of an abrupt halt. One moment we\'re digesting the school owner\'s e-mail reprimand on the topic of Ryan\'s broken contract - and then without warning the reader is taken to a couple of pages of teacher regulations that look as if they\'ve been lifted from the Ministry of Education rule-book. You\'ll definitely enjoy reading about Ryan\'s first year in Thailand but let\'s hope the sequel gets a little more steamy.</p>\n<p>Hopefully we\'ll have an interview with Ryan in the very near future.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/bexit.jpg','2006-11-02 11:11:15',1,'2006-11-02 11:11:15','2009-11-02 01:01:16'),(835,20,'Discrimination against Filipinos','discrimination-against-filipinos','Are the Filipinos getting a fair crack?','Straight-talking Australian teacher Ajarn X has written an excellent article on racial discrimination in Thailand, and also what makes the good Filipino teachers very good and the bad ones extremely bad.

Most normal people do. If I didn\'t care for Thailand, I wouldn\'t be here. But let\'s not forget, it\'s a country which has grown up in many ways so very fast - by western standards. It\'s economic development has sprung up from almost nowhere in a relatively short number of years.</p>\n<p>In many ways it models itself on the West ( whether for good or bad - who can say.. I just hope the wonderful and positively humbling elements of Thai Culture are not lost in the process - as is all too often the case in westernising countries ), however some of the social developments taken for granted in the west, are still in catch up mode here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Social reform won\'t happen over night. Even in my own country Australia, racial and sexual discrimination as such has only been officially outlawed within the last 25 years.</p>\n<p>Prejudices still occur, however it is illegal to, for example, hire on the basis of gender, religion, race or colour, or even to adjust your shop prices on the basis of race or background ( sound familiar? ).</p>\n<h3>Leading by example</h3>\n<p>I do love Thailand, but dealing with some of these common frustrations are at times a daily issue for us foreigners. The best I can do is try to lead by example. Thais are basically good people. We have to do our best to demonstrate other ways of thinking and operating, until better practices, where appropriate, become the norm.</p>\n<p>It is my vision that today\'s MBA\'s studying in Thailand ( under a NO FAIL policy - oops ), will be tomorrows CEO\'s, and will hopefully - when they take office someday accept nothing short of world\'s best practice, and the kind of business standards that are common place in the west.</p>\n<p>This kind of thinking will filter down through the community, resulting in less corruption, less \'old school\' business tactics and behaviour, more accountability, and more fair trading.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Less than helpful generalisations don\'t serve to help this issue. eg. \'Filipinos are better at grammar than native speakers..\' etc etc etc. Clearly we can\'t with any credibility say that ALL native speakers or ALL FILIPINOS are better at anything, than anybody. So let\'s keep it real.</p>\n<p>However, I digress. There are sad facts on both sides of the fence that need to be addressed. Be warned. I\'m a straight shooter. I tell it like I see it. I try to show balance and honesty. I\'m not always right - but I do my best to portray things as I see them - and criticism is my friend. Below are some of my observations concerning this issue based on the years I have spent teaching EFL here in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Hardworking</h3>\n<p>1. I wish to say this from the outset. MOST Filipino teachers are the MOST hard working and passionate teachers I have ever come across in my 20+ years of teaching.</p>\n<p>Generally, most Filipino teachers spend more time in preparation and making materials than most other teachers I have witnessed. This is a flat fact. Does it make them better teachers? Well - you can play golf for twenty years, practice your swing daily, and still be a crappy golfer... but it does demonstrate a level of dedication and professionalism that is self evident.</p>\n<p>Most other teachers I\'ve worked with, including myself, don\'t spend as much time and effort in these areas.</p>\n<h3>Low pay</h3>\n<p>2. Racism is real. Yes, we all know this fact. Rarely does the pay level of a Filipino come close to that of a native speaker. A quick check around the staff room will show you that you are in fact the lowest paid English Teacher in the school - aside from the Thai staff who teach English there - sorry dear friend - it\'s all relative.</p>\n<p>Clearly many advertisements ask for native speakers only. And while it is often necessary that English teachers have a level of proficiency that is at least equal to that of most native speaking people, a person\'s racial background obviously does not qualify this fact.</p>\n<p>Part of this is a mix of quasi cultural / business prerequisite on the part of the employer. Face does play a part of business relations in Thailand. If a parent is paying 30 - 60 000 baht per semester for their child to attend an English program or a bi-lingual school, sometimes the parent is not happy to see that child being taught by someone other than a native speaker.</p>\n<h3>Filipinos or Thais?</h3>\n<p>Some schools are acutely aware of this. One particular school I have witnessed, has gone so far as to take the most sickening of measures, by trying to disguise Filipino staff as Thai staff. Yes, you heard me correctly. I would love to name and shame this school - for a variety of reasons, however - moving along, female Filipino staff were actually forced to wear uniforms identical to Thai staff uniforms, while native speakers actually had a separate dress code.</p>\n<p>Practically all of the 100 or so native speakers at this school signed a petition urging the school to relax this and the countless other discriminative policies enforced by the administration, against the Filipinos. Many, including myself, eventually left in disgust at the various kinds of humiliation perpetrated against our Filipino comrades ( among other reasons )... however change DID occur. If no-one had spoken out, what would be next? Why not make them wear a \'Star of David\' on their shirt ( no offense intended )? You get what I mean?</p>\n<p>But of course discrimination also occurs against dark skinned people ( Thais included ), as well a Farangs. Some African people I have worked with have grammar skills and education degrees far superior to my own, and beautiful enunciation to boot, but are not only paid less, but forced to stay at school, alone, while the rest of the school attends field trips. How would you feel?</p>\n<h3>Not all teachers are competent</h3>\n<p>3. Some Filipinos are truly crap teachers, have crap grammar, crap attitudes and sound like crap. Sorry. Flat fact. But this is ALSO true for some teachers from every other country in the universe.</p>\n<p>Some teachers qualify in some way for either part or all of the previous compliments. Sometimes I will walk past a classroom, being taught by a highly qualified Filipino teacher, armed with education degrees, beautifully prepared material and lesson plans, and shake my head in wonder of what the heck it was they actually said. My worry being that if \'I\' didn\'t understand what they\'d said, there is no chance in hell that the students will have the slightest chance of getting any of it.</p>\n<p>Then the teacher will finish the class daunted and exhausted from the amount of classroom management having to be applied during the lesson, and complaining of how disinterested and lacking in focus the students were. I wonder why?</p>\n<p>Having said that - I similarly have walked past Irish, Australian, and Scottish teachers, and wondered exactly what language they were teaching. This is a common issue in ESL instruction. It is a commonly appreciated fact, that for practical reasons, it is important for ESL students to be exposed to a variety of accents, however - some accents really do make ESL learning about as comfortable as passing wind in a space suit.</p>\n<p>Some teachers on the other hand, take great care in their delivery, so as to make their presentation more neutral. One particular teacher, a Texan guy with one of those incredibly strong \'southern accents\' was deeply passionate about this. I did a double take past his room once, thinking we had found a new teacher, when I in-fact had discovered to my delighted surprise that he had completely ironed out his accent for the classroom. It was so lovely to see. Not an over qualified guy by any means, but a truly dedicated and passionate professional teacher, who cared deeply about the learning outcomes of his students.</p>\n<h3>Survival wages</h3>\n<p>Another problem I have encountered is grammar. A case in point reflects the problems associated with the terribly low salary some Filipino teachers are forced to accept. Due to this fact many teachers fill a gap in the market, catering to students who\'s families can\'t afford to pay around 500 baht per hour for after school tuition.</p>\n<p>Some Filipino teachers are happy to work for 200 - 350 baht per hour tutoring students after school. The basis for some of the lessons taught by some of these teachers, involve the completion of the students\' mainstream English home work assignments.</p>\n<p>This has represented a real dilemma for me. I have frequently found my students, being taught by my Filipino colleagues after hours, presenting their completed homework with numerous grammatical errors courtesy of the Filipino teacher.</p>\n<p>This presents a couple of problems - 1. I have to un-teach these errors. 2. I really would prefer the teacher to stop teaching my student, on account of providing erroneous lessons. When I mentioned this issue to the teacher concerned, it was world war three.</p>\n<p>The small amount of extra income is desperately needed by some of these teachers, who are often forced to share accommodation and live a fairly spartan lifestyle. Faced with the prospect of possibly losing this extra work, this previously friendly ( and self proclaimed \'God Fearing\' ) teacher, rather than creating her own lessons for the student ( as was suggested ) and leaving my assigned homework alone, instead decided to act overly defensively, assigning great hatred and fury towards me.</p>\n<p>Needless to say, 99% of all other Filipino staff at the school shared similar sentiments towards me after this. Most pleasant. My dilemma was obviously between my empathy towards the poor teacher, and my duty as a teacher - to the student, who was receiving conflicting lessons.</p>\n<p>My feelings here lean towards suggesting that teachers who are not English majors, and / or are professional enough to know that grammar is not their strongest point, should stick to health, social, science, or conversational english in these cases. I hope that doesn\'t sound too harsh.</p>\n<h3>People DO care</h3>\n<p>4. Got a chip on your shoulder? Beat a dog often enough, and before long - it will act defensively even when only looked at.</p>\n<p>Most Filipinos I\'ve met have the biggest hearts and are the most passionate teachers of all I\'ve met. The common place discrimination is hard to shrug off. There are bound to be casualties.</p>\n<p>Now, increasingly I see small numbers of teachers of Filipino origin, huddled together, wagons in a circle and quick to lash out ( often when back is turned or Thai admin are out of sight ) at anything or anyone that may seem even remotely anti-Filipino, whether it is the case or not. Hypersensitivity and extreme defensiveness has been observed from many teachers who are rightly \'shell-shocked\' by this incessant lack of equal rights.</p>\n<p>Let me say this to those people. You are not alone. People do care. Native speakers do care. Many Thai people care too. Don\'t forget who you are. It\'s the worst thing to do. I have lost too many friends ( totally different situations ) who have come to Thailand, and forgotten who it was they were back home... and allowed themselves to give in to the pressures and temptations of living life in this country.</p>\n<p>Don\'t alienate yourself. Don\'t hide. Don\'t think that the only honest support you will get will be from your Filipino brothers and sisters. Seek - dare I say it - \'outside\' counsel. Like minded caring professionals from all walks of life are ready to listen. It will help you broaden your outlook, give you ideas about how to survive and succeed and even help you take your mind of some of this crap, and stay focussed on working well and enjoying life.</p>\n<p>Thanks for your time. Filipino teachers... ( and others ) bless you. You are admired. You really are doing a great job. Be proud of yourself, keep it real, live well and prosper.</p>\n<p>Peace &amp; Love.</p>\n<p>Ajarn X</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/filipman.jpg','2017-01-30 19:16:37',1,'2017-01-30 19:16:37','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(836,20,'With a kid in tow','with-a-kid-in-tow','Loving parent Kirsten Jeffrey tackles the parent child issue','Kristen Jeffery came to Thailand for 18 months to teach English....with a husband and a very young daughter in tow. Kristen very kindly tells ajarn.com how her experience unfolded and needless to say, it\'s a must-read for anyone thinking of teaching English while caring for a young child at the same time.','<p>In the summer of 2006, my husband and I moved with our young daughter to Thailand. We taught English for 16 months there. I\'d like to share what we did and why, in the hope that it will be useful to other families who may be considering such a move.\n<p>First, we broke the cardinal rule of ajarn.com: we accepted employment before we left our home country, the United States. While our initial plan was to arrive in Thailand and explore our opportunities in country, we found a great school and an offer we felt was very fair. For us, it worked. It may be better for a single person or a couple to arrive in country, secure housing and employment, and then gain their visas, but for us it would have been very difficult. Instead, we arrived with visas in hand, having received them before we left the U.S.; our townhouse was provided by the school, furnished and ready for our arrival. We found it extremely advantageous to secure our jobs before leaving and never regretted doing so. We felt that it was a good sign when the school proved organized and reliable in helping us gain our visas from the Thai embassy in the U.S., and arranged for us to be met at the airport upon our arrival. Certainly we could have made our own arrangements, but after a cross-Pacific flight with a nineteen-month-old child - we were grateful for the assistance!</p>\n<p>We researched the country extensively and put a lot of thought into our location. We had visited the country before and knew firsthand something of Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Hua Hin. We decided against Bangkok because we dislike the pollution, and ultimately decided against Chiang Mai and Hua Hin because of the cost of living vs. earning potential. We lived in Khon Kaen, six hours northeast of Bangkok. While Khon Kaen lacks the thrill of larger cities it was a good place for us as a family: affordable, friendly, small enough to get around, but large enough to offer a few \"farang\" restaurants and grocery stores with some imported foods. Khon Kaen also has excellent hospitals, which proved important to us: I gave birth to our second daughter in Srinagarind Hospital. My husband had taken two semesters of Thai in college and continued to study the language with a tutor while we lived in Thailand. This was most definitely a plus; while most of the doctors we met could communicate in English, few of the nurses and none of the office staff in doctor\'s offices and hospitals could speak English.</p>\n<p>We chose to work at a small, private elementary school offering a bilingual program. I have a bachelor\'s degree in English, my husband has a degree in linguistics, and we both have minors in TESOL. We had also spent some time teaching in SE Asia as student volunteers; our backgrounds made it easy to get the jobs we wanted. I taught KG 1 and my husband taught English and math to the third and fourth grade classes. Our school also offered childcare and our daughter was able to attend for free. She quickly learned Thai and was fully fluent within a few months. After the initial school year and the birth of our second daughter, I decided to teach part-time for Khon Kaen University to have a more flexible schedule. I was able to take my baby with me to work, and my co-teachers and the office staff kept an eye on her while I taught (I was very lucky that they needed teachers badly, for they were exceptionally accommodating of me). I was also able to use the nursery at my husband\'s school part-time. The going rate for infant care seemed to be between 1500 and 3000 baht per month for full time care, depending on the facilities and the child-to-caregiver ratio. Not all facilities had air con, which we felt important because our daughter was not entirely acclimated to the heat. Some facilities had one caregiver for several infants, and they spent most of their time in cribs or infant seats. We were lucky that the school where my husband taught had good childcare available. We were very pleased with the educational but fun activities provided for our older daughter. All of our children\'s caregivers were loving, patient and kind.</p>\n<p>We found infant clothing to be extremely cheap in Thailand, but any imported baby product was prohibitively expensive. Quality toys are almost nonexistent, and what is available is overpriced. A quality infant carseat could easily run 10,000-40,000 baht. I had bought a double electric breastpump in the U.S. for $250; the same model sold for 24,000 baht in Bangkok. Most of the shops selling such products seem to be marketing to wealthy expatriates on corporate or government salaries. English teachers need to be creative, come prepared from their home countries, or learn to do things more Thai-style.</p>\n<p>Thais loved our daughter and were exceptionally helpful where she was concerned. She was given food, toys and attention nearly every time we left the house. Her picture was taken constantly, with and without our permission (not that we would have denied it, but it was a little odd). At times the attention was overwhelming for her but she came to enjoy it. Now that we have returned the U.S., I think she wonders where her adoring audience has gone!</p>\n<p>There were many ups and downs during our time in Thailand, but we are so glad we did it. It was a life-changing experience for us and our children.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/children1.jpg','2008-11-02 11:32:10',1,'2008-11-02 11:32:10','2009-11-02 01:01:11'),(837,20,'An Indian teacher in Thailand','an-indian-teacher-in-thailand','Bobo Meitei faces the perils and pitfalls of finding a teaching job','Bobo gets to grips with sliding pay scales and agents bemused by his pseudo-American appearance.

Now they were in dire need of a potential and displayable person who could step into the shoes left by the allegedly grumpy man.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first thing she asked me after she supposedly screened my forwarded resume was \" I know that you are from India but what colour is your hair?

Would that do?\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She said I could give a demo lesson at the school then it would be up to the school to decide my fate. Beggars can\'t be choosers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Behind the main gate was a huge statue of Lord Buddha, the man who disagreed with caste system in traditional Hindu society and a man who saw beauty and value in everything and every creature.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was a hot morning and I was exhausted after spending two hours travelling by the sky train then a bus ride and another shuttle bus ride to get to the place not to mention the hassle of asking people at every stop in my limited Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The friendly security guard escorted me to the office building where I was to meet the lady from the agency and the director of the school. She was standing there in her black attire next to the obese lady director who was enveloped in shiny Thai silk suit. She also asked me \" where you come from?\" I didn\'t have to give a second thought to the answer She looked at me once then turned towards the lady from the agency and their discussion in Thai volleyed over my ears.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>(In Thai) \" Ohh! his speaking is very fluent and clear, but we are afraid whether parents will be able to accept him. OK, we could see how he teaches just to make him feel good.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Demo lesson</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I was trapped in a hopeless situation. I could have bolted out of that creepy place but I was the person in need and I wanted to grasp the moment and demonstrate my skills.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When their discussion in Thai was finally over, I was taken into a classroom where the polite Thai homeroom teacher smiled at me graciously and disappeared leaving the director and the agent outside the classroom observing me teach through the ajar door. &nbsp;Their animated discussion and constant nose-picking session continually distracted my demo lesson.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I underestimated their obvious indifference. When I came out from the classroom I saw the answer on their indifferent faces. One had already come to a conclusion before I had even started the demo lesson. Without further questions and discussion the director pressed her palms against my arms with a Thai \"Thank you.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The agent met me at the school gate where the Buddha was planted to rationalise the obese lady director\'s\" Thank you\" to me. There was no way they could have an Asian teacher with oriental look as the consequences would be a direct threat to the school committee from the parents\' association.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wanted to scream at the lady from the agency for wasting my time and money when I could have been at home reading a book and blogging, but I was a committed person and the fuel that kept me running was the romance - otherwise why I would be knocking on people\'s doors for a job only to be subjected to discrimination, when I could be working in a university anywhere in the sub-continent or as a writer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was the architect of my fate.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seeing that I was deeply disappointed, the lady took off without even bidding me adieu and left me in the middle of a remote place 50 kms from Bangkok.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chafing would not help me. Instead I phoned up some leads to inquire if they would be in a position to employ me at their schools. The sympathetic English man, who from my understanding was in charge of a language centre, boasted how he hired people on the basis of their talents and experience rather than ones\' skin colour and nationality.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Another lead</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The man was kind enough to forward an SMS to me mentioning the exact location of his office and how I could get there. On Sunday afternoon dressed in formal attire I rode the sky-train and sat in a taxi for one hour to see the person who sounded so just and sympathetic. Smiling. he ventured out from his shop-house to welcome me.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was no signboard whatsoever to identify the place and the office space was meticulously carved out in between the recklessly piled up thick folders on the desks and the empty floor ceiling book shelf, and leading me through mounds of more files, he offered me a place to sit in front of the Tesco Lotus desk over which his AVIO laptop compute sat, perhaps displaying his familiarity of modern conventional know-how.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To quench his disbelief that I was from India, I explained I really <em>was</em> from the sub-continent but still he relentlessly maintained his \" but your English is not Indian, and also your look. I thought you were an American when I heard your voice. It\'s just intriguing.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After he listened intelligently to me, he unintelligently presented the true nature of his business and what erratic things he could offer in return for the professionalism he was expecting.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was a government school which was in desperate need of a teacher so what he wanted me to do to get his supposed 3-month full-time job without any guarantee for visa and work permit was to display my skill for a week at the school.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If the school liked me then I would get his 3-month full time job.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Thanks but no thanks</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes when you are repeatedly humiliated, the degree of humiliation you feel is lessened</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my politest manner, I explained how odd it was to me to see professionalism and impermanence at one place, expecting consistency from a persistent vagabond.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was too exhausted to display my contempt, so we shook hands like old friends and I left the godown-like office smiling at the Filipino teachers who had travelled from another province for the same job.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wishing them the best of Indian luck I hurried home to ponder over what I should do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I stuck to an evening part-time job and reading and writing in the daytime for a few weeks. However, I sensed that my helpless girlfriend wanted me to go out to find a full-time position which could help prolong my stay in Bangkok.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What could I expect from those job advertisements which were only for Caucasians? It would be naive on my part to spend time writing formal e-mails and calling the schools which specifically mentioned \" no Asians please! Europeans or NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS only!\" - but I was a person waiting for an unexpected fat chance relying on my incorrigible side and fed by the optimistic side of human life.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes! The colour of my blood is red like that of my friends. I get drunk when I gulp down a pint. I also know what\'s just and unjust as emotions and understandings are not the patented properties of one group of classed people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A prominent school from Bangkok which had just opened one of its branches notified me that my name was on a list of potential mathematic teachers and I should be at the school the following day to meet the supervisor who would observe me teach. I was not a brilliant economics student but I had no doubt that I could teach math to primary students given my year and a half year experience in a bilingual school.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although I got home late at night from my evening part-time job I managed to wake up before 5 o\'clock to press my clothes and prepare everything.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I had planned, I got to the school 40 kms from downtown Bangkok and the flamboyant supervisor welcomed me and instructed the Filipino teacher to help me by explaining where I should go to observe other teachers teach and at what time I should give a demo lesson.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the lunch break, I ran into an Eastern European teacher who insisted that he was from the States - a crow strutting in another bird\'s feathers? What I didn\'t know was his insistence was quite worthy - worthier than ordinary Europeans, not to mention the Indians and Filipinos.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Pay scale</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The school admitted that the observers were satisfied with my methodology and the pseudo-American led me to a meeting room where a larger and a more observant bunch were waiting to grill me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I faced the music and waited for what they had in store for me. Certainly they had something, but it was not the flamboyant supervisor who could decide how much he could offer except for sticking to the categorised scales, 15,000 Baht for Filipinos, 20,000 Baht for Indians, 30,000 Baht for Europeans and 35,000 Baht for the so-called native speakers of English.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I made it a point to put it before them that I had been in this field for more than three years and it wouldn\'t be impossible for me to accept the Indian pay scale as my last remuneration was 60% more than what they could offer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The pseudo-American cast his perplexed eyes at the flamboyant supervisor upon hearing that, throwing his left leg over the another and throwing his hands wide in the air and addressed me in his rounded vowels \" all I can do is to speak to the school director and call you\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sitting on a few rumbling buses, somehow I got home in the evening feeling slightly hopeful.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I did hear from the flamboyant man in time, but this time his voice was the voice of a defeated man who would just sit and listen if one cracked on him. The school director made it quite clear that it would be against the school\'s policy to offer an Asian teacher with three years teaching experience anything beyond 20K a month.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anger is what renders a man to an irrational and pitiable creature, gripped by abundant anger and more humiliation I barked on the phone \" if you hired an inexperienced American mathematics teacher how much would you offer him?\" , the defeated frail voice answered \" it\'d be between 35,000 and 40,000 Baht\",</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I yelled at that caught up man \"so your bloody school thinks that Indian mathematics is cheaper than American mathematics, do you? It\'s appalling!\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There\'s no denying the fact that there are abundant Asian teachers with incoherent English. This however does not justify the absurd attempt to invalidate the capabilities of individuals from a few parts of the world. We should also admit the fact that professional teaching is not the patented skill of Caucasian people. If so then the world is going to the dogs and we know the produce of the doggy world.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To me, this is nothing more than undermining the potential of various intellectualisms, which appear so crude through the prism of people like historian John Mill. It seems like those successful Indian born writers and professors teaching crème de le crème students in various parts of the world would have a hard time finding a place in this land of smiles.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/bobo1.jpg','2018-04-29 10:37:00',1,'2007-08-04 10:37:55','2018-04-29 17:27:08'),(838,20,'Colored education','colored-education','The road to becoming a teacher','Bobo Metei came to Thailand as a fresh graduate on the lookout for different things.

So being a young man with little money in my pocket I decided to take up teaching as I had been engaged with teaching economics to secondary students for one year. A language school employed me but their inability to obtain a work permit and the required visa compelled me to quit the position to attend TEFL course in Bangkok, which I still think was worth attending considering the introduced approaches in teaching English as second language. By the time the course was over all my friends were already placed by various school but I was left without a school where I could complete the internship period, the placement officer at the training would not try because I am Asian and the schools I had approached would not consider me because I was too Asian to be on their campuses as an English teacher.\n<p>Understanding my problem the English-educated Malay trainer somehow pulled out the name of a school in Bangkok and told me to try. So in few days time I found myself in front of the school being welcomed by a diminutive lady with who I had to communicate by smiling at each other. She examined me from my gelled up hair to my Tawyin-cushioned feet as if she was in a store looking for a doll for her grand daughter, finally over with the intense examination she released a smile and told me to sit down facing the wall where pictures of animals with name incorrectly written below.</p>\n<p>As her understanding of the language, through which we were going to communicate, was limited I just put on a nice smile and asked her few questions by relying on gestures, her comprehension appeared rather shakable and she called out for the young secretary, who was already nervous at the fact that she had to do something related to translation, excusing herself she ran out of the office room to find a teacher who could communicate in vain. Her return was met by the cold lashings from the diminutive lady. The diminutive lady rose up to ask if I could start teaching from the following day, but I would have to teach kindergarten. There I was caught in a dilemma; I badly needed a job but I had never taught young learners before. I diverted my eye contact to imagine how it would be like to be with young learners, then I returned my gaze at the eyes which had been eagerly waiting for \" yes\' , I nodded my perplexed head in agreement.</p>\n<p>Next day I was in the classroom looking for someone who would explain the whole things in vain. After two hours a lady in her late forties with freckled face which ran down till her chin showed up, smiling at me she introduced herself and left me before I could even ask her what I had been expecting. Half an hour later there 12 kids in the class, curiously staring at me, they sat down in horse-shoe shaped on the floor and turned around their head to look at me as if asking \" come over here and teach us!\" The lady in her forties rose and said \"teacher you go and teach.\"</p>\n<p>The bizarre ended after I met few British teachers who explained what I had been looking for and the following days turned rather smooth. Few days after I had joined the teaching staff I ran into a tall teacher from Holland. At the parents-school meeting the parents looked at the tall handsome high-school dropped out teacher from Holland in admiration, when he mentioned the word \"Amsterdam\" they fixed their eyes to him for a while then \" wow! Beautiful\" snuck out from their mouth. Then my turned came, the expression became observant and critical, when I finished my explanation I asked them if they had any question, to which they wagged their head.</p>\n<p>I knew that from day one that my attire should be formal and I followed it; neck-tie, pressed shirts and trousers. Being a person who grew up in a cold place I had to roll up the shirt-sleeves sometime in the afternoon due to the profuse perspiration in Bangkok. One day a lady from the office approached me to ask why I had rolled up the shirt sleeves, slightly vexed by her oblivion I said \"you would not understand mam.\" As she was going to walk away the tall Dutch teacher grabbed her by the wrist and sent down a smile and she instantly became the subject of his smile, his exposed chest , the rolled up sleeves. All that mattered to her was the acceptance by that tall flying Dutch man.</p>\n<p>Few months after all the teachers in the school had to pose with children for pictures, the Caucasian stood prominently, Thai teachers knelt right next to the Asians wearing the same shirt as the school had the rule to hire only Native English speakers. The following weeks pictures of the Caucasian teachers were hung on the front walls of the school, their names were even displayed but that their qualification and achievements were nowhere to be seen.</p>\n<p>In the middle of the semester the diminutive manager who recruited the new teachers and systematically arranged our wages according to the colours of the skins was told to hang up her boots, a new religious one arrived and she was welcomed in the most pompous fashion, the pomposity of the ceremony overwhelmed her that we could barely see her existence in the crammed room where the subservient Thai employees displayed the best demeanour.</p>\n<p>I found her rather sneaky, sneaking up on people and leaving without even greeting people around her, but she was the person in charge of the school where 600 young minds had been receiving formal education. In the middle of the second semester all the teachers were informed that our teaching would be observed, nobody objected but English teachers in general suggested that someone who could speak and understand English should supervise the observation part. Hearing what we had suggested the new religious manager notified all the teachers for an urgent meeting, there in the staff room we found her sitting hair spiked up, eye glasses hanging on the tip of her nose, wearing pink skirt and blue jacket over a white a green shirt, discerning our steps she raised her head and stared at us over the glasses then released a smile which allowed her canine teeth to sneak out as if she was cunning vixen.</p>\n<p>A person who smiled at all of us a moment ago now diverted her attention and it was fixed on the a young Thai teacher, who spoke the best English among the Thai teachers, gibbering while wagging her head as if she was threatening her, to it the young Thai teacher lowered her head until it touched her knees and when she woke with her entreating welled up eyes relaying the meaning through her quivering mouth only said \"yes, yes\". The Thai teacher on the verge of crying gathered herself and announced that the manager had the utmost desire to observe our teaching regardless of her English level.</p>\n<p>She came to my classroom and sat in the back of the classroom. I was little worried that my kids would not response well even though I had been slogging. Much to my relief it turned out to be a disciplined lesson with kids having a good laugh during the activity time. The manager stood up holding the evaluation sheet and wandered out without even looking at me and not even saying \"hi\" to the kids. Slightly disturbed by the whole thing I rushed out and stopped her, she turned around and looked at me like a cornered creature. Having explained why I stopped her I looked at her eyes and waited for her response. I wanted to know what she felt and I expected some feedback from her, but my curiosity was met by her postponement which didn\'t come for 7 months.</p>\n<p>Sitting in front of the tiny mart with my colleague drinking a bottle of green tea during the lunch-break I saw my British mate approach us. He sat down next to me and delivered his positive outcome from the one-to-one interview with the manager. The smile on his face disappeared leaving me wonder what he was going to do now. \" The manager says you are fired mate.\" he released the gloomy appearance. Both my colleagues insisted that I go and find out in person. So I rose and scurried to the office where the manager was yelling at the young Thai staffs.</p>\n<p>Understanding my intention she ventured in to her office, but she didn\'t utter a word but behind the friendly mask she wore there were many things she wanted to say, which had not been allowed by quite cultural backstabbing. \"Parents call everyday say we no like Asians, we like farang teacher, committee say you teach no good\" she released the verbal lump inside her. I demanded which parents had called the office and if the school had any written complaints. Holding out the matter instead of facing it is another na&iuml;ve mantra that I had experienced, so she expected me to buy what she had cooked up to seek personal vendetta. Having found out that I was not going to leave the premises without given a valid justification she, at some points, stopped coming to school for few days, however my aggressive mind didn\'t give up easily instead I hung in to wait and organized the teachers- committee meeting. Only when she was summoned by the chairman of the committee she showed and we met in one room after days. She backed down but behind that submissive manner I could see the cold expression which would prolong to nurture up the egoistical beast inside her. The beast which allowed personal vendetta overcomes professionalism.</p>\n<p>In a month time I was offered a job by a language centre in Bangkok which required me to teach in a government school with a good 67 years American mate. Teaching 26 hours a week and handling classes of 50-55 exhausted and drained the creativity that we could have employed for a remarkable outcome. However, the curiosity in the eyes of those innocent kids kept our spirit up and we surrendered to the innocent curiosity while ignoring that fact that the school administration never even dealt with us, as, to them, as if we were bunch of aliens from a language centre.</p>\n<p>It\'s such a pity that the quality of teaching is compromised for the sake of appearance as if what one wears and colour of a person is what we are eyeing for. Are we too na&iuml;ve to figure out what we our society needs?</p>\n<p>Small people spend a large part of their life talking about people, while great people talk about great minds, and people who talk about great minds are not necessarily encased in one preferred skin, what is beneath the surface of what appears so ugly, so dark, so brownish ,so white is more important that how flashy the appearance is. Those who see more than the tip of an iceberg and those who can see what is beneath the surface are the people who outwit the conventional wisdom. The anachronistic belief of racial superiority seems to hang in as a stubborn beast in a society which I love. Certainly the racism prevails in most countries but it is the degree of it.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/bobo1.jpg','2007-05-25 10:44:36',1,'2007-05-25 10:44:36','2010-03-03 20:08:37'),(841,37,'Fun with language','fun-with-language','Next time you want to make a Thai smile, just mutter a few words','What is true is that most Thais consider their language very difficult to learn. Thais from all walks of life will often give a genuine compliment or note of approval to any foreigner who can muster up any sentence beyond \"sawdee khrap\" , \"arowy\" or \"tho rai?\".','<p>A few months back I wrote a short piece in my blog recounting my surreal experience in a chemist. Two staff members in the shop enjoyed a conversation about my personal life as I stood right next to them, with the staff safe in the knowledge that I, as a farang, couldn\'t possibly understand a single word they were saying.\n<p>It was a humorous experience that has probably been replicated for most long term resident farangs, but what I did notice by some of the comments I received on my blog was the different foreign interpretations of such behaviour. One anonymous writer actually told me that my knowledge of Thai culture was \"lacking\" and that \"When a Thai says something about you or to puzzle you, you can assume they know full well you speak Thai and they are playing with you. Thai instinct is to always play the fool with the foreigner.\" Since the poster was \"anonymous\" I couldn\'t reply, but some other readers mentioned that their own experiences didn\'t fit anon\'s conspiracy theory.</p>\n<p>What is true is that most Thais consider their language very difficult to learn. Thais from all walks of life will often give a genuine compliment or note of approval to any foreigner who can muster up any sentence beyond \"sawdee khrap\" , \"arowy\" or \"tho rai?\". When speaking the local language with - for example - a doctor in a hospital, the recipient will usually be happy to continue the conversation in Thai without making a big issue of the fact.</p>\n<p>However some slightly more dubious characters - notably some taxi or tuk tuk drivers - have become more weary of the \'Thai speaking farang\' phenomenon and will sometimes blurt a complicated and quickly spoken line in Siamese to test if you really can follow what\'s being said. Often this will be along the lines of: \"So do you want me to go this way, that way or the really long way?\" spoken in a very quick pace. If the farang fails the test, or worse yet agrees to the long way while not having a clue what was said, the less trustworthy drivers might attempt a scam.</p>\n<p>But there is no doubt in this writer\'s mind that the most sport is to be enjoyed at places such as markets, villages, the out of Bangkok shopping malls and other such locations where the locals have less experience of dealing with foreigners, period, let alone those who can speak a little of the lingo.</p>\n<p>I\'ve found when communicating with people in this group, there are some noticeable patterns of response:</p>\n<p>1) The \"Huh? Ally wa? Bai nai?\" response.</p>\n<p>These such responses occur not only when the speaker has perhaps uttered a word an octave below its correct tone, but also when the recipient is simply so sure that farangs can\'t speak Thai, that he has already told himself that he will not understand a word this white skinned person is about to say. This phenomenon is most notable to me with bus conductors, who will often respond to my everyday request of \"sen tern pa-ram sam\" (Central Rama three) with several utterances of confusion and sometimes by giving a kind of \"Can anyone understand what this moron is saying?\" expression on her face to other passengers.</p>\n<p>2) The parrot effect.</p>\n<p>My personal favourite. School kids are also very prone to this effect. The parrot effect is different to the \"Huh? Ally wa?\" effect because in this instance the speaker is actually understood. However, the fact that the speaker said something in Thai is so hilarious that the recipients will repeat the words to their nearby friends, imitating the speakers accent at the same time. I\'ve never quite understood the hilarity of my saying \"Ao nii khrap\" at the market but it sure does seem to be funny to some. While this response can still irk me a little on a bad day when done by adults, it\'s usually done in good spirit.</p>\n<p>3) The \"Puwt Thai geng\" effect.</p>\n<p>More openly pleasant than the other two. The \"Puwt Thai geng\" compliment is one of several examples of the recipient being so impressed with the speaker making the effort to use Thai that an inordinate amount of praise is heaped upon him or her. To be told \"You speak Thai very well\" because you said \"Turn left and stop here\" is not really meant to be taken seriously, it\'s simply a playful recognition of effort.</p>\n<p>There\'s plenty more examples of typical responses of course, but the above are the most common in my experience. While the guide books and language guides would have us believe that all Thais will greet your efforts to converse in the lingo with warm smiles and praise, it\'s important to realise that, just as many an Englishman will communicate with a non English speaker by speaking English in long, exaggerated tones (after all nobody could be stupid enough not to understand slow English, right?) so some Thais will greet your efforts with responses that can seem a little frustrating or sometimes impolite to the foreign psyche . Don\'t let it put you off, your efforts will reap rewards. It\'s also important to note that truly fluent Thai speakers - which certainly doesn\'t include me - have fewer if any of these problems.</p>\n<p>But what about speaking Thai in the classroom? What about speaking Thai with Thais who would really prefer to practise their English? Maybe it\'s even worthwhile to practise Thai with other non - Thais who want to practise too?</p>\n<p>The first question is an old ajarn.com chestnut, and one that pops up on the forums on a regular basis. Whilst the question is open to a long debate, I think one of the stipulations on a \"Code of Conduct for Teachers\" form that I recently saw at an upmarket language centre sums it up nicely:</p>\n<p>\"The classroom is not a place for you to display your knowledge of Thai or to practise it. Thai should only be used for low level classes and even then should be kept to a minimum\"</p>\n<p>In my experience, this rings very true. I find the majority of teachers who use Thai frequently in the classroom are usually seeking to impress the students or simply practise their own language skills. I know of more than one teacher who will proudly proclaim to his colleagues \"This class likes me because they want a Thai speaker\" . Another memorable example occurred when I interviewed a man who told me on no less than three occasions he could \"speak Thai and Isaan\". I was tempted to tell him I was more concerned about him turning up for an interview in jeans and trainers than I was at his ability to speak a language from almost hundreds of miles away.</p>\n<p>Such errant thinking is a particularly easy trap to fall into in Thailand, since some local students make the honest mistake of thinking a teacher speaking Thai is a good teacher because the students understand him! In the old days I would simply tell other teachers that if the ability to speak Thai was necessary for students to learn English, we wouldn\'t be here and the Thai teachers wouldn\'t paid so much less than the western teachers. The next time a \"Thai in the classroom\' teacher tells you children need to be spoken to in Thai when they learn English, ask him how many times his parents spoke to him in Thai when he was a kid.</p>\n<p>The other two questions are more open to a quick, common sense conclusion. I always speak English with Thais who wish to practise. I figure they have fewer chances to practise the foreign language than I do.</p>\n<p>How about practising with other non natives? It seems like a nice idea, and I know a few teachers who actually do this. However, I always figure that it produces the same systematic errors we farangs like to whine about when Thai English teachers routinely teach students the same mistakes and mispronunciations. The longer habitual errors in language go unmonitored or uncorrected, the harder they are to remove later on.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, there\'s every opportunity to pick up and practise some Thai every single day that you are out here. Be ready to roll with some of the taunts you\'ll get and remember that while practising Thai is great, and even fun to some, remember there\'s a place and time, and it\'s not in the classroom!</p>\n</p>','','2007-07-01 13:46:28',1,'2007-07-01 13:46:28','2009-11-05 05:05:29'),(843,37,'Why don\'t you just go home?','why-dont-you-just-go-home','Problems with living in Thailand','Don\'t get me wrong. I\'m prone to the odd gripe myself. I do get exasperated when apparently easy tasks at work are made difficult by the traditional Thai \"assume somebody else will tell them the meeting is cancelled\" attitude.','<p>I\'ve been around the Thailand block for a few years now. I\'ve mixed with the high society on occasion and fitted in snugly with my fellow \'low so\' scumbags for the rest of the time. I\'ve been lucky to meet a wide and eclectic range of people, some of whom have broadened my horizons and become good friends. Naturally, when chatting with fellow ex-pats I want to get their feel on life in Thailand and how we can bridge the psyche gap , or at least to establish if it even needs bridging. (Just what is so hilarious about buffalos anyway? Why don\'t Thais laugh at John Cleese?.) Sadly though, experience has taught me that the majority - but by no means all - of farangs descend into negative and whining fixations about Thailand. It almost seems to be a rite of passage for the older ex-pats, as though it\'s as unavoidable as the widening of the waistline and greying of the hair.\n<p>I\'m sure both Thais and farangs have heard all the common lines. Thais are too old fashioned, they don\'t say what they really think, they overcharge farangs and so on. Some of the particularly undesirable foreign element have a whole host of more malicious and hypocritical attitudes to the locals, but those lines can be saved and dealt with another time. What I want to focus on now is a line that I hear so frequently - sometimes from older and wiser ex-pats than myself - and one with which I completely disagree. It\'s a yammer that arrives in many forms but usually manifests itself as: \"They don\'t want us here\" or \"They just want rich tourists to visit and clear off\" or \"They can\'t accept they need us here\". Just to type these words brings me conversation flashbacks, each and every one of them from a moaning farang, sat in Thailand.</p>\n<p>So Thais don\'t want us here, eh? And how exactly are they displaying that? A pogrom? A neo-aparthied system? Perhaps at least a second class citizen status bestowed upon us white folk? No it\'s not me being over the top here, it\'s the whiners who spout such garbage about being unwanted. There is a great irony about the \"We\'re not wanted\" brigade. They frequently draw attention to the fact that a marriage visa in Thailand requires a minimum cash balance to be held in a Thai bank. Surprisingly however, the whiners usually don\'t even have that visa, they have a working visa which has no minimum cash requirements whatsoever! So if Thailand wants rich folk only, how are these people still here? Of course, there are many who actually work illegally on a tourist visa. Yes, you got it, the same men (for it nearly always is men) complaining about the lack of a red carpet are the same who, by rights, should be asked to leave.</p>\n<p>The second lumbering irony is the pseudo-liberal attitude displayed by this crowd. As they gripe about Thai government denial of house purchases, citizenship and various other rights for foreigners in Thailand - as though the country had chosen them instead of the other way around - they will happily bellyache without a hint of irony about their own countries. It\'s a fact that many ex-pats from England or America bemoan their own nation allowing a huge number of immigrants who take up employment and housing in their new country. Such policies have arguably contributed to the ethic tensions and aggravation in these nations. The fact that Thailand is a partisan nation that puts its own citizens first is a point of contention for the whiners, who would often use exactly the same policies in their own home.</p>\n<p>The final frequent complaint is one that I do have some sympathy with: the dual pricing system. It is a little hurtful that some attractions charge foreigners up to ten times the amount Thais must pay. It hurts because it conflicts with the western psyche that skin colour and race should never be a factor in price variations. Yet, it hardly strikes me as some great conspiracy to break us all then ship us home. The few attractions that employ this system, I respond to easily: I don\'t go there. Instead of getting ten times the cash from me, they get nil. For the places that charge me just a little more, that\'s fine. Once again, the same group who complain about paying a tad extra are the very same who decry the fact Thais can visit Buckingham Palace for the same price as Brits.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong. I\'m prone to the odd gripe myself. I do get exasperated when apparently easy tasks at work are made difficult by the traditional Thai \"assume somebody else will tell them the meeting is cancelled\" attitude. I do think that sometimes certain figures in government play up nationalistic sentiment to disguise their own deeds, and such sentiment can manifest itself in certain demographics as anti - farang feeing. But these are mere piccadilloes in the big picture. When I do gripe , I try and do it with tongue in cheek. (Well, except for politics of course! )</p>\n<p>I have an enjoyable and rewarding job, a pleasant home , disposable income and a host of cheap holiday destinations on my doorstep. All this in a country that owes me nothing, isn\'t obliged to accept me or my opinions and was visited by me because of its reputation for beautiful beaches. No pleas to inspire Thailand with my awe inspiring white skin, (then) scruffy hair and untouchable western charisma were received. When I hear farangs crying into their beer that the country won\'t lay down a red carpet to welcome the unqualified, ignorant, often lazy and uncaring section of the foreign teachers community, I ask myself a simple question........why don\'t they just go home?</p>\n</p>','','2007-08-01 05:14:32',1,'2007-08-01 05:14:32','2009-11-05 20:08:33'),(844,37,'Meds! meds! meds!','meds-meds-meds','The medical situation in Thailand','Thailand has a wide range of excellent private and international hospitals.

But bear in mind that illness can strike at any time and when it\'s time to visit the quack, it can be a little different to back home.\n<p>Let\'s cover the good stuff first. Thailand has a wide range of excellent private and international hospitals. The buildings and equipment are far better than your average English state hospital affair. The cost is usually great value and well covered by most insurance policies. Doctors are often educated abroad and speak good English.</p>\n<p>However, there is a downside. As I type this it\'s 2330 and my son has finally come down from his drugged high. For the last two hours he\'s been zipping around the bedroom in a frenzy, while I tried (and failed) to calm him. He won\'t be going for counselling however, since my son is only sixteen months old and the drugs in question were supplied by local doctors.</p>\n<p>I defy anyone, anywhere within Thailand to visit a doctor and come away without at least two forms of medication. Go ahead, try it. Visit any random medical centre and tell them you had a slightly runny nose a couple of days ago. See what happens.</p>\n<p>Thais love their medication and in all my time here, I have never known anyone to come out of a clinic or hospital without a minimum of three types of medicine. There seems to be a two fold reason for this. First, it\'s an all - Asian culture trait that the second you feel unwell, you throw drugs down yourself. After all, drugs make you better so why not take plenty, just to be sure? The other reason is one that is subliminally accepted but not widely discussed in Thailand: the doctors and hospitals get kickbacks.</p>\n<p>Thailand has only a minimal health care system built into its infrastructure. Staff salaries , standards and medication are monitored only by a very inefficient and anachronistic system. When you pay to see a doctor here, you pay not a set charge but a charge fixed by the age, rank and experience of your doctor. A GP of fifty years of age would command a far higher fee than a newly qualified twenty five year old. However, even the steeper fees are actually very reasonable, it\'s not where the money is made.</p>\n<p>The real windfalls for these institutions - be they government or private - comes from the meds. Its a terribly kept secret that pharmaceutical companies pay monster kickbacks to medical centres, and that little line can only be kept going if GPs are \'liberal\' with their prescriptions. Have a cold? Take this bottle for your stuffy nose, this liquid for your cough , etc. Bad stomach? Take this stuff for the stomach pain, these tablets to stop the runs, this antibiotic to kill the virus, this orange drink to replace your salts, etc. , etc.</p>\n<p>What\'s more, the charge for these medicines is usually four to ten times the cost for the exact same product from the pharmacy across the street.</p>\n<p>One of the most prevalent areas of this practice is in the paediatric section. After all,what parent wouldn\'t be relieved to hear the doc say: \"Just take these four types of medicine home and your precious little one will be fine\"? Not a bad little sales pitch is it?</p>\n<p>I may sound horribly cynical, but there\'s nothing here that isn\'t solid fact. Don\'t get me wrong, the vast majority of doctors in Thailand are excellent. I must also note the doctors will usually prescribe the right kind of medicine so you will get better. There are exceptions though, I know first hand cases of overzealous hospitals and pharmacists giving antibiotics for colds and sore throats. Even a dunce like me knows that ABs don\'t work for colds.In fact, in England a billboard campaign has been warning about the dangerous of using such drugs when suffering from a cold. (It increases bacterial resistance to medication)</p>\n<p>If you\'re single, the above shouldn\'t be too much of a problem. The hospital bill still feels relatively cheap, especially if you\'re only on holiday. And us westerners find it easy to refuse the \"generous\" amount of extra products. When I was single, I used to politely but firmly decline every prescription I didn\'t need. All the creams, salt drinks and other nonsense, I refused. If I was given a month\'s worth of meds for a cold, I\'d just take one week\'s worth and visit the pharmacy with the box if I needed more later.</p>\n<p>This tactic can save a lot of cash. A friend of mine - new to Thailand - fractured his arm playing football. He was delighted with how well the hospital treated him and bandaged him. However, when sent to the hospital desk he was presented with a bag full of creams, tablets and other goods he had no wish for that more than doubled his bill! He simply refused the extra meds and his bill was cut by more than half!</p>\n<p>However the problem has become more serious and difficult to tackle since I wed and became a father. My lovely son has been ill a few times, and on one occasion a doctor prescribed a whopping eight forms of medication for my boy\'s stomach bug. I reacted angrily, telling the doctor I was well aware that too much medicine is damaging to anyone and asked if he would give so much to his own child. Justified as I may have been, it caused problems for my wife. In Thai culture it\'s a big loss of face to disagree with a doctor and even more to dispute what medicines you are given. Embarrassment and annoyance reigned on both sides.</p>\n<p>So while it still makes me unhappy, I\'ve given up trying to fight the \"meds\" mentality. If you have a kid, you\'re as likely to escape the problem as you are to escape taxes , as likely to overcome the problem as you are to overcome death.</p>\n<p>It\'s also worth noting that local clinics are just as helpful as hospitals for patients with minor ailments. You\'ll still get the same volume and brands of medication, but the charge will be lower.</p>\n<p>At least now - thanks to ajarnforum\'s Tony Dabbs - I have insurance. Remember though, most policies for children only cover inpatient costs.</p>\n<p>So as my beloved boy recovers from bronchitis, we have to deal with the drug highs caused by his three prescribed types of medicine that are all rich in sugar and glucose, causing him to hit the roof for hours each day.

On one side, Thailand has once again been exposed as run by anachronistic bureaucrats, with little or no understanding of the technology they manage or the psyche of their own nation\'s young. In the other corner, youtube has lost Thai customers for many months.\n<p>It all started when a user with a Thai sounding name from America posted a bad, offensive and crudely edited video that was highly insulting to Thailand\'s king. Thailand\'s MICT (Ministry for Information and Communication Technology) immediately blocked the site and demanded youtube remove the clip.</p>\n<p>Youtube staff initially refused, citing freedom of speech. Later, they reneged and agreed to remove the video although due to technical glitches the very first frame was still visible. Sadly, the google staff failed to understand just how pathetic Thailand\'s military junta can be and accidentally caused them loss of face by offering to \"educate\" MICT on how to block specific videos instead of an entire site.</p>\n<p>Red faced, MICT continued to block the site and played up nationalistic sentiment by branding youtube as \"bullying a small country like Thailand\". Yes, that would be the military junta who raped democracy accusing the entrepreneur google group - who donate millions of dollars into poverty relief projects - of \'bullying\'. MICT also \"demanded\" that the American ISP company \"reveal\" the identity of the user who had posted the video and, best of all, threatened to make their lese majeste laws extra territorial ( i.e. applicable to anyone in any country).</p>\n<p>Of course, while all this propaganda was going on, Thais were denied access to the site. A message would appear on screen saying the site was \"a threat to national security\". Meanwhile any user based in any other country could view the trashy video, and its viewer rating increased rapidly.</p>\n<p>The propaganda continued. Thailand\'s MICT threatened to sue youtube. Various other web sites fell under the censor despite MICT chairman Sittichai stating his team had invoked far less censorship than its predecessor. Appearing at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand, Sittichai promised that youtube would return to Thailand in one week. He announced that he had requested new legislation that all internet censorship would require a court injunction. When confronted with a FACTTHAI reporter who produced reams of paper that listed the name of each web site blocked by MICT, Sittichai declared the list to be \"wrong\". That night, most difficult and critical questions were fired at Sittichai by fellow Thais.</p>\n<p>Nothing changed. Youtube, anti - coup sites and some discussion forums remained blocked. After several weeks, the blocking message changed. It seemed that (perhaps to save face) the MICT requested legislation had indeed come into effect and MICT were no longer blocking web sites but now the censorship was (ahem) \'voluntary\' censorship coming from the ISP\'s themselves!!! In my case the censorship was enforced by TOT, a state telecom company who happen to have army general Saprang as their chairman.</p>\n<p>But just as I had given up on my sinful wish to see the questions posed to the candidates for American presidency or the blunder made at the Miss Teen USA parade by Lauren Caitlin Upton , my dreams were realised as youtube magically reappeared. It seems youtube (not MICT) designed new software systems to filter offensive material.</p>\n<p>Still, nobody has come out looking good. The MICT and the entire junta have exposed their hypocritical and outmoded way of thinking. The junta are so used to censoring and intimidating anyone who disagrees with their view, they had no method of communication or debate with an agency they could not control.</p>\n<p>And while youtube is the most prominent example, it is far from isolated. MICT (or rather now \"voluntary\" censorship by ISP\'s) is huge. Web sites can be blocked for any number of reasons, all of which are classed as \"a threat to national security\". Midnight University, a chat forum for Thai students, was closed down after it was critical of the coup in Thailand. Many sites remain blocked and others are falling victim to the censors each day.</p>\n<p>Rather than articulating the feelings and passion of the Thai people, MICT responds to offensive content like a child sticking his fingers in his ears when he hears a noise he doesn\'t like. And by labelling google as \"bullies\" the junta made a big error. Google are renowned pioneers of charitable research. The irony of a junta in a developing country labelling google as \"bullies\" was not lost on onlookers. Neither was the dual irony of MICT\'s threat to enforce lese majeste laws worldwide after their own protests that people worldwide should respect Thai laws and culture.</p>\n<p>The Nation (or maybe it was the Bangkok Post, I forget) also did not escape blame. Their cartoonist created a picture with an internet user being shouted at by a monster on the monitor screen. The monster was shouting something like: \"I\'m the WESTERN concept of freedom of speech! What that means is that I\'m just here to be OFFENSIVE and VULGAR! You should admire me\".</p>\n<p>That cartoonist should look at himself. Would he have a job in a dynamic English language media industry in Thailand if it were not for \"western\" influence? Personally, I found his cartoon offensive on that partcular day. The difference is that I would never dream of trying to stop other people seeing it just because it upset me. Freedom of speech does include the right to say something others might not like to hear.</p>\n<p>Of course, we should make critical comments with reason and articulation, something the youtube clip maker did not do. The video was disgraceful and designed to shock. But what I\'ve always said about shock merchants is that they thrive and bank on attention to their actions. If I see a video highly offensive to the Queen of England, I would say \"The person who made this is obviously an uneducated idiot who should be grateful he lives in a country where he can express his feelings\" and forget it. If I made a great big protest about the video, threatened to sue the ISP and the hosting company and tried to enforce my own English laws on internet users in Somalia then I would be effectively drawing great attention to an unworthy internet clip.</p>\n<p>It\'s worth pointing out too, that \"freedom of speech\" is not a \"western\" ideal simply because it (arguably) originated in the west. Freedom of speech is a wonderful concept that allows us to employ critical thinking, which is crucial to academic progress and therefore, the development and well being of a country.</p>\n<p>Imagine this experiment: you take two groups of students who are all trained in economics. To the first group you say \"I want you to design an economic model to aid the entire nation. However, you must ONLY think about the KEYNESIAN model. You are NOT allowed to criticize this model! You are BARRED from viewing information or statistics on welfare economics! Now go and do your best.\" To the second group you say simply: \"Study what you like. Feel free to weigh up the merits and drawbacks of each model.\" Which group will produce the better model? Why?</p>\n<p>I love Thailand. My son is Thai. But sometimes I wonder if Thai people really understand that in many ways, they are facing a culture clash. They want to be recognised as a major figure internationally. They want FTA\'s , Premier League football, big time cinema and all the comforts of modern technology and a free market. On the other hand, they also want to keep their traditional values and identity which is great and admirable. However, such values cannot be enforced on others , nor should they be pushed on all Thais without giving them the right to decide for themselves.</p>\n<p>Like I said before , freedom of speech does not include freedom to shout \"fire\" in a theatre, but it does include the right to say things we sometimes don\'t like to hear.</p>\n<p>Restrictions on freedom of speech are simply a form a thought control and involve a huge amount of power. Thailand must accept that if it wants to be a fore - player in the modern world, it must at least accept that other nations allow freedom of speech.</p>\n<p>What\'s more, Thailand\'s powers that be should perhaps consider allowing Thai people to decide for themselves what is allowed to be said and thought about, rather than employing themselves as moral guardians and thought police for millions of people who never invited them to do so.</p>\n</p>','','2007-10-01 05:26:52',1,'2007-10-01 05:26:52','2009-11-05 20:08:53'),(846,37,'A very bad day indeed','a-very-bad-day-indeed','Today was one of the most unpleasant in my four years plus of teaching','My problem was discipline. You see, I\'ve been teaching for over four years and until today I had only received two complaints.','<p>Perhaps the ominous warning of strange things afoot came when one PE teacher lost his sanity in front of onlooking parents, teachers and students during sports day practice. The teacher flew into a rage (apparently because the students had not heard him blow his whistle) and trashed the chairball equipment before storming off in front of a crowd stunned into silence.\n<p>But my problem had nothing to do with the mighty game of chairball. My problem was discipline. You see, I\'ve been teaching for over four years and until today I had only received two complaints. One was from a girl who said that I spent too long on games in the class - apparently twenty five minutes out of three hours was too much - and I was ordered to stop. Needless to say, the girl did not win any friends amongst her fellow ten year old students! The other was from my very first adult class, who felt my lesson was too grammar focused. I took note of the constructive criticism and tried to improve.</p>\n<p>It\'s notable that both those complaints came from private school students. In my two and a half years of state school teaching, I never received a single indictment. Last year, I moved to a well known bilingual school and began to teach grade seven and nine students from privileged homes. By then I was a confident and capable teacher, but a class of thirty hormonal students can test the best of us.</p>\n<p>After a few weeks of trial and error, most classes were falling into place. However, there remained a small group students who just didn\'t want to know. Each day they would simply spend their time reading comic books, sending sms messages or even disrupting the other students.</p>\n<p>In the end, I took them to the teachers\' room during their lunch break to finish their work. Today, the parents of one darling little Somchai contacted the school to complain that I had \"stopped Somchai from having his lunch\". (Somchai doesn\'t look like missing a couple of lunches would do him any harm) What\'s more, Somchai had complained that I was showing favouritism to a female student in the class! The undertones of the second part of the complaint was what upset me.</p>\n<p>Nobody likes dealing with complaints, especially malicious ones, but there is a strong chance they will happen to anyone who teaches long enough. In my case I knew I could rely on the full support of my admin staff and the Thai support teacher in the classroom (more on this in a moment). Somchai was eventually coaxed to admit the truth (he hadn\'t lifted a finger in months and the \'favoured\' student had done everything). It was probably a bigger deal to me than anyone else, but at times like these, I always question my own use of discipline.</p>\n<p>How does one deal with difficult students? Well, it depends very much on who you ask. In theory, every foreign teacher should have a Thai teacher in the room for support. The reality - as any teacher will tell you - is that Thai teacher support is a lottery. Some will be very supportive, most will do absolutely nothing and a minority will even encourage disruptive behaviour, either inadvertently or otherwise.</p>\n<p>I always seek to strike a good rapport with my support teacher whenever possible, for they can be pivotal in the progress and behaviour of the class (not to mention the fact that they are usually asked to report on you, even if they can\'t understand a word of English). But again, any teacher will tell you that a minority of support teachers have decided they don\'t like you before you even start. You are an unqualified farang who has walked into the job and receive a higher salary for doing it. I can understand the sentiment, if not the reaction.</p>\n<p>So let\'s say you have a delinquent horde of teenagers and a Thai teacher who simply wants to sit at the back and play Sudoku. What\'s the next step? How tough should you get?</p>\n<p>One school of thought that is prevalent amongst TEFL teachers is to simply do nothing and ignore the disruptive kids. The rationale behind this varies but is often stated as \"I\'m the only that gets bothered by it, so why care?\" or \"Getting angry doesn\'t help\".</p>\n<p>Whilst I agree with both of these philosophies, I don\'t agree that they are applicable to good teaching. For one thing, as the person responsible for the education of the students, a teacher should be the one who is \"bothered\". To say \"What is the point in getting bothered?\" is equivocal to \"What is the point in giving a monkey\'s about my job?\". Fine if that\'s your attitude, but don\'t inflict it on those of us mad enough to actually think that even in the TEFL world one lone student might take some kind of benefit from a teacher who makes an effort.</p>\n<p>The second line of \"Getting angry doesn\'t help\" is also correct. But again, I find some (usually new or just poor) teachers mistakenly link classroom discipline to loss of temper. This is, in fact, an oxymoron. Anyone who cannot control their rage should not teach, period. Good discipline - including a raised voice - is done in a controlled, precise and understandable manner.</p>\n<p>Whilst many educators can and do use very laid back styles of discipline - or none at all - for good reasons, my experience has shown me that many use the aforementioned rationales as a smokescreen. That ostensible reasoning tends to hide a lack of assuredness that manifests itself as either a lack of confidence in using any kind of discipline or a fear that the kids will \"hate\" a teacher and see them as \"serious\" , the latter being the ultimate anathema for the farang.</p>\n<p>Now I don\'t know about you, but even when I was a hormonal teenager, I had a well developed sense of right and wrong. Adolescent or not, I knew when a teacher was punishing me for something I had done wrong (how I wish I could track down some of those teachers and apologise for my behaviour) and which ones were just obnoxious (I recall one teacher who shook me by my ear until it tore and bled when I was ten years old. I had got out of my chair for break two minutes early).</p>\n<p>Teenagers, on the whole, are fair. If a teacher is reasonable in warning students of their behaviour (or translating if the students\' English is weak) and explains any disciplinary action and empathizes it is not personal, they will respond positively. <br />Indeed, many students come to respect this manner far more than the out and out clown style of teaching. I can think of at least one class where stern behaviour made me far more popular with the majority of these students who had become frustrated at the troublesome group in the class disrupting the lessons for everyone. Once the students know where the line is, you can lay back, enjoy far more jokes and games with them and have fun and productive lessons for everyone.</p>\n<p>But just where exactly should a teacher draw the line? Is any copying allowed in the classroom? Should I ask little Jittiporn to turn that ghettoblaster down? Should I break up the boys\' fight or wait until one of them is knocked out? Is an impromptu classroom football match acceptable? Should the teacher join in?</p>\n<p>Limits and rules (if any) can only be reached through trial and error. Different teachers will work best under different circumstances. There is no single correct way to use discipline in the classroom but there are certainly some good rules to adhere by:</p>\n<p>1) Never strike kids. Even if you have just seen a Thai teacher doing his WWE impression and smacking a kid with a chair. They can do it, we can\'t (and hopefully don\'t want or need to).</p>\n<p>2) Always give students the benefit of the doubt. The first time you see them using their phone, give them a very friendly warning. I always give at least two friendly warnings for any student.</p>\n<p>3) Use humour whenever you can, it takes the tension out of the situation. This works particularly well with students who are usually good but are having an off day. Instead of telling Somchai to stop or you\'ll give him homework, tell him to stop or you\'ll make him listen to Westlife singles for the rest of the week.</p>\n<p>4) Don\'t ask things of the students you cannot deliver yourself. If you are late for class, it is totally unfair to punish students who do the same. Likewise, if you are delivering a lesson that is not going so well, don\'t expect the pupils to be on top form either.</p>\n<p>5) Bear in mind that each class will develop its own personality, often defined by the strongest personalities or the behaviour of the smartest students. Try to get these students \"on your side\" whenever possible.</p>\n<p>6) In a similar fashion, consider that different students respond to different approaches. Some need praise, some simply need attention and some will simply have behavioural problems that will not be helped by punishments.</p>\n<p>7) Be clear and even handed when explaining punishments to students. Be calm when doing so and make a point of telling them you don\'t dislike them, you simply want to help them learn.</p>\n<p>And that last point is what it all comes down to. After all, even if you believe you are just a hired clown, don\'t you want the kids to be watching when you do your tricks?</p>\n</p>','','2007-12-01 06:33:34',1,'2007-12-01 06:33:34','2009-11-05 20:08:35'),(847,37,'May I help you sir?','may-i-help-you-sir','A sad tale of Thai customer service','About two months ago, I decided to treat myself to a new Xbox360 games system.

','<p>Greetings to all Ajarners. I hope you had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year. Tazza had a great Chrimbo but today I\'m going to play a little bit of Scrooge and share a sad tale with you.....\n<p>About two months ago, I decided to treat myself to a new Xbox360 games system. After checking a few stores, I decided to purchase my system from a shop inside The Mall Bang Khae. The name is PS BOX , you might want to make a note of that name and avoid the shop (read on!).</p>\n<p>I emphasise this was an indoor shop near the IT section and not some dodgy, outdoor market outfit. Still, I should have sensed something was wrong when after taking my credit card, swiping and presenting me with the receipt, the man handed me another bill for 600 bhat said \"This is the extra charge we add on to credit cards\".</p>\n<p>I explained I had only paid by card to avoid the two minute walk to the ATM, I insisted he reverse the transaction and allow me to pay by cash but alas, nobody in the shop knew how to reverse a basic transaction, my wife had to talk them through it.</p>\n<p>But it was all forgotten when I got home and - like the overgrown kid I am - start to enjoy my new games. All was well for about a month, until my Xbox 360 started to freeze more and more often, until eventually it died completely. I was disappointed but I had read that it was a well known batch problem and had cost Microsoft one billion in repairs already. There is no Microsoft office in Thailand so I had to rely on the seller.</p>\n<p>I took my system back to the shop and was surprised to discover they expected me to pay for the repair myself. \"It\'s only a one month guarantee so it has expired\" the man told me; \"We\'ll call you when we know the repair cost\".</p>\n<p>Two days later I got a call telling me the cost would be 1,500 bhat. I couldn\'t be bothered to argue so I agreed to pay. \"We\'ll send it to Chinatown for repair and call you when it\'s done\" I was told.</p>\n<p>So I waited......and waited.....and waited. I visited the shop three times, each time being told \" Yang mai set\". Finally, after six weeks of waiting I got my wife to call and get to the bottom of it, and that\'s when the lies really started to flow.</p>\n<p>We were told that the repair was serious. It was not covered under any guarantee and a new part had been ordered. They had tried to call me several times to let me know. The new part would definitely arrive but it might take some time so I could come and pick up my system in the meantime.</p>\n<p>We would eventually find out that not a single one of the things we had been told were true.</p>\n<p>Sensing something amiss, I went to the store to pick up my system. The man in the shop (it was the same man we spoke to every time) actually told my wife \"Your husband tried to use the system on the Internet and that\'s what caused the problem. The chip has melted\". Anyone who knows anything about Xbox systems or computer systems will know how laughable that line was. We were also told that if we didn\'t want to wait for the new part to arrive, we could take the system to Sapham Lek and get it repaired ourselves. (So why didn\'t they take it themselves then?)</p>\n<p>By now, I knew that we had been cheated and lied to. But as unsatisfied as I was, I also knew that if I could get it repaired myself it would save a lot of hassle. So, on my next day off, I took a little trip to Chinatown to hunt down a repair man in the Hong Kong style Sapham Lek Market, and sure enough I found one.</p>\n<p>It took about thirty seconds for the repairman to open the system, look at the mainboard, laugh and tell me that someone had already tried to repair it and had burnt the ram insert to a crisp. A repair now would be impossible, my system was ruined. You can probably guess how I felt.</p>\n<p>My wife asked around and found out the name of the storeman at the sales store in Bang Kahe and, usefully, the name of the owner. That same night we marched to the shop (my wife is so cool when she gets ticked off!) and demanded to speak the manager. After getting his number my wife made the call.</p>\n<p>I already had my list of promises ready. If I didn\'t get a refund or replacement, I was going to write to every newspaper I knew, make leaflets and hand them out to people walking into the shop, and tell all my new friends in the Thai Police and the manager of The Mall shopping complex. I had the receipts from both the sale and repair of the system and they knew it.</p>\n<p>To my relief though, the manager was a lot more helpful. He told us systems had a guarantee of six months from the shop and repairs were done through a contact at an electronics company in Chit Lom. When told that the storeman had mentioned a repair at Sapham Lek, there was concern. \"Mr. Manager\" promised to investigate and call us back.</p>\n<p>Thirty minutes later the call came. Mr. Manager sounded worried. He confirmed that indeed my Xbox had been sent to Chinatown when it should not have been. The damage had been confirmed as serious but a replacement had not been ordered. Mr. Manager also apologised for the storeman suggesting I pick up the system and take it to be repaired myself. This should not have happened.</p>\n<p>Obviously, Mr. storeman had let me wait six weeks while my system sat in his cupboard in the vain hope I would forget about my computer. When that failed he told me a bare faced lie about a replacement part on its way and when that lie failed too, he simply tried to get me to go away and deal with it myself.</p>\n<p>Mr manager seemed apologetic and promised to meet my wife today. But the storeman was still not finished. Today my wife got at call saying \"Sorry, the manager wanted to meet you today but he can\'t make it, can you cancel and come another day?\". My wife agreed but, based on past experience, called Mr Manager to check. Surprise, surprise, Mr Manager knew nothing about the cancellation and was looking forward to meeting my wife as arranged!</p>\n<p>And that\'s where we are now. But my question is this: just how stupid are some people?</p>\n<p>Just how moronic is the storeman to think that telling us a whole string of shameless, bare faced lies was going to get him out of trouble? Did he really think that if he didn\'t call me I was eventually going to forget that he had my computer? Did he honestly believe that we are going to believe that I melted my Xbox\'s chip by \"using it on the internet\"? Did he really think that we wouldn\'t check about the \"extra part order\"?</p>\n<p>I have become accustomed to Thai businesses having \"laid back\" ways of doing things and I am familiar with the concept of a \"kind lie\" in Thailand, but this is the only the second time I have been told an entire string of shameless lies to my face. It has never worked on me and it never will. All it does is make me lose any shred of respect and grows my contempt for the person telling them. What makes things harder is that as I in a foreign country it is a lot more difficult for me to use the usual methods of recourse I would use back home (contacting media, watchdog groups, etc.).</p>\n<p>I\'d be interested to hear from fellow farangs about any similar experiences in Thailand and how they were dealt with (if at all!) and any advice!</p>\n</p>','','2008-01-01 06:38:16',1,'2008-01-01 06:38:16','2009-11-05 20:08:17'),(848,37,'Notes on a semester','notes-on-a-semester','What can you do when teaching starts to get you down?','How can I or any teacher that feels he\'s underachieving turn things around? I doubt there is any magic formula, but I\'ve come up with a few ideas. Many of them are blindingly obvious but it\'s often the easy points we miss during difficult classes.\n','<p>Let me start with the negatives first so I can finish on a positive note. This year I have failed my students. My Social Studies (note that is not English) lessons have been repetitive, too difficult and unengaging for the students. Many of them have learned next to nothing this semester.\n<p>This isn\'t an easy thing for a teacher to admit. As the old saying goes, a bad workman always blames his tools and teachers always blame their students, colleagues, school, the noodle seller outside or anything else that can absolve them of blame. The fact that I am passionate about the subject just makes the failure even more disappointing.</p>\n<p>I have my fair share of excuses lined up too: I\'ve been given no course book for my course, exams are \"vetted\" by a non native colleague in another part of town and with whom I am forbidden to even e-mail, let alone speak to. What\'s more, the curriculum is translated from Thai and photocopies of any worksheet take a minimum of five weeks to return and outside photocopying is forbidden (I have no idea why).</p>\n<p>But none of this absolves me of blame. A little extra preparation could have made all the difference. Revising my worksheets and simplifying the language could have made the subject mater more accessible to the pupils. A lot more imagination and forethought cold have made each class less predictable. The list goes on.</p>\n<p>So why have I failed? If I\'m aware of some of my failings - which surely is half the battle won - why have I not changed them? Perhaps the answer is something many teachers can relate to, it\'s just too damn easy NOT to make an effort in Thailand. I\'ve noticed that many \'long term\' teachers in the Kingdom sink into a pattern of work, it seems like the longer we are here, the more futile we feel it is to actually get anything done. After all, why bother trying to clarify the course curriculum for your class when it\'s such a Herculean task to even contact the responsible person? It\'s far easier just to do your own thing anyway, blow the curriculum.</p>\n<p>And of course the inevitable language barrier can blind a teacher - especially a teacher of any subject other than English - as to how well or badly he is doing. Students are so used to being confused by the language that they don\'t really give away their feelings towards any class, they just go through the motions, stuck in their own little rut, I guess.</p>\n<p>And that\'s what it all comes down to: a rut. I\'ve seen it take hold of many long term teachers and I don\'t want to let it get me. If that means I have to make twenty phone calls to contact Miss Siripong, head of foreign languages, only to be told she is out of the office for the next three years then so be it.</p>\n<p>So what can be done? How can I or any teacher that feels he\'s underachieving turn things around? I doubt there is any magic formula, but I\'ve come up with a few ideas. Many of them are blindingly obvious but it\'s often the easy points we miss during difficult classes.</p>\n<p>* Talk to the students. Not just during the class, but at the end of the class too. I\'ve taken to speaking to a few random pupils at the end of each period and just asking \"What did you learn today? Is there anything you want to ask?\". Of course I ask this to the class as a whole, but I find students are far more willing to speak frankly when the conversation is more private.</p>\n<p>* Don\'t be too proud to ask students for their advice. I think a lot of teachers see this idea as a sign of weaknesses or unprofessionalism. I think it depends on the approach. I try to chat with a few bright pupils and simply ask them like adults: \"How do you feel about your class? Is there anything you would change?\", etc. More precocious students can often supply some useful ideas.</p>\n<p>* Prepare in advance. If possible prepare months, not days, ahead. This may seem to be another shockingly obvious point - and indeed it is - but I feel the longer teachers stick around in LOS, the shorter their preparation becomes. This year I\'m hoping to prepare at least one semester\'s worth of worksheets before the term has even started, thus avoiding my problem of waiting at least one month for photocopies to come back and thus killing off one more problem. It should also allow me to plan the lessons more effectively and make any amendments in advance as the course progresses.</p>\n<p>* Observe other teachers. This one comes naturally to new teachers but those with more experience equally naturally drift into their own way of doing things. There\'s nothing wrong with that of course except that classes can become predictable for students, who then switch off more quickly. I\'ve found that by watching my colleagues every now and then, I can pick up some new ideas for an activity or exercise and try out in my class. By changing my style every once in a while, students are kept alert.</p>\n<p>* Talk less. This is a golden rule of teaching of course, and the one challenge I am having real trouble with. The more difficult a class becomes, the more I try and talk my way out of it. The more restless students become, the more I speak up to try and settle them. It\'s a vicious cycle but it\'s important to try and break it. It\'s rare to see an effective foreign teacher who talks at length in classes.</p>\n<p>So this is my plan right now. Any more suggestions or tips are welcome. I\'ve heard it said that teaching in Thailand is like a dog chasing its tail or playing football with a ball and chain on one leg. But I have no plans to become another teacher who blames all and sundry except himself for poor classes. I know that if I can make my classes even a little more effective despite all the obstacles in my path, then I can be pleased not only for my students but also for myself. That makes the extra effort worth while.</p>\n</p>','','2008-03-03 06:42:42',1,'2008-03-03 06:42:42','2009-11-05 20:08:43');

What should I expect? Well the initial application stage was fairly impressive. The staff checked my background with the embassy and the Immigration department. I know this because my interviewer said: \"Oh you work at [name of my employer] my uncle is a director there\". That seem to go down well. Heck, I wasn\'t even recruited yet and already the nepotism was kicking in!\n<p>So with a 5am alarm call, I set off to Sukhumvit soi 5, wondering what I would learn from the boys in brown. The hotel venue itself was very decent, if nothing special. I was ushered into a large conference hall and presented with an information pack. Amongst leaflets and tourists guides there was a booklet that explained how to make a police report. The information itself was solid, but the translation was poor. I wondered how the Tourist Police could produce something like this, but I was about to discover things would get worse before they got better.</p>\n<p>The event kicked off with a senior sergeant welcoming everybody and declaring the training session open. Suddenly some music began to blast and we all had to stand up and salute. The expression of the commander in front of me stopped me from smiling.<br />We then began a lecture on the role of tourism in Thailand. There was just one problem - it was all in Thai. There were about one hundred volunteers at the seminar. Less than ten of us were farang, the others were Burmese, Japanese or Chinese. Very few could understand what was being said. Suddenly, a strikingly attractive young woman stood up and said something to a commander at the front. She then walked to the stage and was introduced as both \"Miss Chicago\" and \"Miss Songkran\", who would translate for us. And so she did, though I think some of the volunteers were a little distracted from the topic at hand.</p>\n<p>After a coffee break, the next lecture was on \"national security\" and was presented by a lady called Porpharas. Khun Pornpharas was obviously a highly educated lady from an upper class family. Her speech was intelligent and articulate but the topics she addressed covered issues such as economics and the politics of immigration. For me it was interesting, but the body language of those around me told me they knew this was not exactly relevant for police volunteers.</p>\n<p>After lunch we had a new officer and a new topic. We were treated to a slideshow of foreign criminals believed to be located in Thailand. It was interesting stuff and I was ready to blast Bob Marley\'s \"Bad Boys\" track on my iPod and hunt these guys down, but sadly our beauty queen had gone home and the talk was only in Thai. It was becoming clear now, the senior command in the Thai Tourist Police may be great people and great policemen, but they couldn\'t speak English. Still, the overall feel of day one was good. This was largely down to a man call Senior Segeant Major Peter, who was almost a one man police force by himself. Throughout the day he had exchanged jokes, wise cracks, banter and pranks with both his fellow Thais and the volunteers. He had broken down the culture barrier and explained why Thailand needed foreign volunteers and how grateful the police were.</p>\n<p>Day two began on an interesting note as I was attacked while eating a sandwich at \'Subway\' on Sukhumvit by a drunken prostitute who was upset that I wouldn\'t hand her my sandwich. Sadly, I had not yet received any training that would actually help me deal with the situation. Would today be different? Luckily, the answer was yes. Our first lecture was in English and \"Peter\" explained to us the different codes that could be used on a police radio. He also threw in a few very helpful names and contact numbers that we could use when dealing with police in general.</p>\n<p>The next talk was an exercise in incident reporting. This introduced me to Pierre, the TTP translator who explained how the reporting system should work. After being given some more training booklets, it was time for the \"awards\" ceremony and some general mingling. I managed to talk with a few senior officers who seemed genuinely friendly, grateful and good natured. I also spoke with a long serving English volunteer who explained how I could receive further training and move \"up the ladder\" (yes, the volunteers also have a ranking system) starting with the Lions Club convention in Bangkok next month.</p>\n<p>So after a few snapshots, receipt of my uniform and a few goodbyes, it was over. The training was interesting. I got to meet some new people from around the world and make some friends in the Thai police. I do feel ready to start, but that is more down to my chance encounter with the long serving Englishman than any of the training I received. But that seems to be Thailand through and through. There is far more focuses on friendliness and welcomes than there is on actual skills training. That might suffice in most professions, but when you doing a job such as police support, you would want something a bit more efficient.</p>\n<p>It also worried me that there was literally zero physical based training in the entire seminar. Other than a few questions on the application form about health, physical details and martial arts training, there was no defence involved at all. However, it was clear that all applicants were carefully screened for their own backgrounds and paperwork. This was applied to everybody which I thought was good, though it was clear the Burmese contingent were being given the closest attention. Still, I learned something, met some new people, made some friends and in time I will be able to do a lot to help visitors to Thailand. It was time well spent.</p>\n</p>','','2008-05-01 05:46:14',1,'2008-05-01 05:46:14','2009-11-05 20:08:15'),(850,37,'The Thai culture course','the-thai-culture-course','How to scam, exploit and demoralise foreign teachers','Day one of the course began with the typical smiles and greetings.

(Like we had a f***ing choice!)','<p>I was away from work when the news was delivered, but of course I was already aware of all the rumours. Still, I told everyone: \"This is Thailand, don\'t listen to rumours, believe things when they happen\".\n<p>But when I received the phone call telling me: \" The Teachers Council of Thailand has decided all foreign teachers are required to attend a course in Thai culture, and you will pay for it yourself\", I knew I was wrong this time.</p>\n<p>Naturally, the news went down like a lead balloon amongst my teaching colleagues. I think the administration at our school knew that, which is why they broke further details into little pieces and fed us day by day rather than in one big hit. The details kept on coming.....the course is eleven thousand bhat, you won\'t get your work permit renewed if you don\'t attend, and you\'ll be doing the course in your free time.</p>\n<p>Like everyone else, I protested. I have lived and worked in Thailand for nearly five years. I have a Thai wife and son, I am a member of the Tourist Police and I own property here, surely I must be exempt from the course? Other teachers raised similar protests.</p>\n<p>The responding message was delivered in a Thai style but it was clear:<br />shut up and take the course (PDF link). We (The Teachers Council) don\'t care how long you\'ve lived here. We don\'t care what qualifications you have. Hell, we don\'t care if you can speak fluent Thai, drive a tuk tuk, eat som tam and sing Bird Tongchai all at the same time. You will come to the Thai culture course, you will do so in your free time, and you will pay for the privilege. You don\'t like it?<br />Get out of Thailand.</p>\n<p>Oh and by the way, that thousand bhat you paid for your teacher\'s licence two months ago is now invalid. No refunds.</p>\n<p>We tried to keep our spirits up. We planned some pranks and organised a social event after the course. After all, at least our employer said we could wear what we liked. Or at least they did until three days later, when the announcement came: \"Actually a phu yai is attending the course so everyone must be dressed in business atire\". Like my colleagues up and down the nation, I gave up protesting and accepted the inevitable. I would miss two days of weekend work, take the darn course and forget about it. At least my school was good enough to cover some of the cost.</p>\n<p>Day one of the course began with the typical smiles and greetings. The venue laid on a nice little breakfast pack for each of us and well wishers waited at the doors to greet us with: \"Hello, thank you for coming!\". (Like we had a f***ing choice!)</p>\n<p>Included in the impressive bundle of worthless documents we were handed was a collection of CV\'s for those who would be speaking in the course. It was certainly impressive. Today\'s speakers included two lecturers from a well known university, tomorrow featured a Thai graduate from Harvard. At least these guys should be red-hot teachers.</p>\n<p>So first up on the agenda for day one was \"Thai language\". Now, I must confess I was feeling optimistic for this. My spoken Thai is below par and I cannot read Thai atall. At least I might get something useful out of this morning.</p>\n<p>On comes the lecturer, but her assistant takes the microphone, greets us in Thai and then announces \"This is (professor\'s name) but I will be doing the speaking today\". Our \"professor of languages\" is obviously so unsure of her English that she doesn\'t want to speak.</p>\n<p>The course begins, the first few minutes goes quite well as we run through the different Thai tones and learn how they are expressed in written form. I desperately try to take in and store this complex information. We are fifteen minutes into the class.</p>\n<p>The teacher (or rather her assistant) moves on to consonants. We orally repeat every consonant (yes, every last one) three times each.<br />My mind is swimming.</p>\n<p>Then we move on to \"special cases\" (I forget the exact classification). We go over each and every one of them, too. Three times each. My head is hurting. We have now gone at least ten times over the daily quota of new information for the adult language student.</p>\n<p>But the professor is far from done. She moves on to different letters of the Thai alphabet that produce the same sounds. You guessed it, we have to repeat them three times each. My spirit is broken, I am prepared to tell my captors any secrets they want to make this torture stop as I mindlessly repeat the alien sounds. I have a magazine in my bag, but all the while our boss is walking up and down the hall, checking we are obedient.</p>\n<p>For the next hour I fix my eyes on the statue of the Virgin Mary at the end of the hall, reminding myself that this isn\'t really Hell.<br />Mary finally answers my prayers an hour later as we break for lunch.<br />That was the end of the language session. We had \"learned\" the entire Thai alphabet and all its idiosyncrasies in one morning.</p>\n<p>The afternoon was a little easier. We were handed a leaflet published by the TAT (yes the Tourist board, not the Teacher\'s board) about Thai food. We had a seminar on Thai cooking, its history and ingredients. I was missing my Saturday job (which helps to pay my many bills) to learn about the ingredients of pad thai. How was this going to make me a better teacher?</p>\n<p>Day one ended at four PM. Too deflated to go out, I went home and dreamed of halls full of zombies, repeating letters from the Thai alphabet.</p>\n<p>Day two could only get better. Our lecturer (the Harvard grad) was going to use this extortion of our money and time by the Teacher\'s Council to teach us \"professional ethics\". A bit like Ronald McDonald teaching healthy eating, I guess.</p>\n<p>In fact our lecturer was a nice guy, though I noticed on his CV he was working for the Education Ministry which struck me as a coincidence (we can only guess how much these lecturers were being paid). We started off by being introduced to the Council\'s code of ethics, highlights of which included \"Do not form mafia style groups in school\" and \"Do not gossip\".</p>\n<p>But the bombshell was about to come. We were about to be introduced to the new qualification requirements of the teaching council. To the lecturer\'s credit, he did it wisely. He broke the news ambiguously and slowly so it took us a while to work out was happening, allowing the shock to dissipate.</p>\n<p>We were told we had two years to pass a one year course. The course would be done in our free time and cost at least sixty thousand bhat.<br />The only other option was to pass four teaching exams, at two thousand bhat each. The only problem was, from the first batch of people that took the exams, less than five percent had passed.</p>\n<p>\"This is the rule for all teachers\"; said our lecturer, \"The Thai teachers must do the same\". He neglected to mention how much the Thai teachers had to pay. And what was this one year course? A PGCE? A master\'s degree? No, it was brand new course dreamt up by the TCT and totally unheard of outside the nation.</p>\n<p>I sat in disbelief. As we broke for lunch, my colleague held a piece of paper up to my face. It simply said: \"BS\".</p>\n<p>The afternoon was actually quite interesting, we were given some case studies about ethics and had to offer our own opinions. Still, many people found it hard to concentrate. That was all for day two, our weekend was over, and we had one day still to go.</p>\n<p>So after another week at work (guess what the main topic of conversation was?) it was time for the final day, and many of us predicted it would be the worst: Thai dance and music.</p>\n<p>Yup, you guessed it, they made us dance. They made all of us wear long golden fingernails and dance around the hall whilst singing the \'Loy Khatong\' song. If I were on a drunken night out with Thai friends, or if I were at least making a fool of myself by choice, I would have laughed. But as I looked around the hall during our dance, I realised this folly was part of the plan. By getting us to dance around and act stupid, these people wanted us to forget we were being scammed. In a building with at least two hundred people paying eleven thousand bhat each to take a compulsory course to improve us as teachers, we were dancing around in fake fingernails. It was truly surreal.</p>\n<p>As three o\'clock came and the dancing stopped, my colleague turned to me and said: \"Now they are done humiliating us, they\'re going to let us go home\". And they did, after mentioning that the certificates we had been promised - and which were the entire point of the course - were not actually ready yet, and they couldn\'t say when they would be available. Thanks and goodbye. I went home feeling violated.</p>\n<p>The next week at work more news came out. It seems highly likely that the four exams we had been told about were .....ahem....\"purposely difficult\" to the point where it seems that the only real \"choice\" is to take the 60k+ course. Yes, Thai teachers had to do the same course, but at a tiny fraction of the price we were given. Thailand\'s foreign teachers are in a fix.</p>\n<p>Now, I want to make something very clear. I\'ve said before many times that Thailand\'s foreign teachers are, on the whole, a very imperfect bunch. Any attempt to improve them is most welcome and if I were given a test of my teaching ability and knowledge, I would tackle it with relish.</p>\n<p>But I hope I\'ve made clear that I am certain this latest set of events has nothing whatsoever to do with improving foreign teachers. The way the news was broken to us and the incredibly quick set of agreements that have been made between the Teacher\'s Council and various educational institutions were not hard to figure out. The staff involved in the courses, the dual pricing system and the fact that every teacher had to pay for his/her licence only to have it invalidated without refund by the new rules told its own tale. The ninety five percent failure rate of foreign teachers in the four new exams - in a nation where every student in my school passed a university entrance exam (even the students who cannot understand \"Good morning, how are you?\") after paying the exam fee - fills me with resentment.</p>\n<p>If this was about improving teachers, give us a break. Allow us to take the course of our choice, charge us the same prices as the Thai teachers, don\'t insult our intelligence with compulsory courses in dancing, take experience and prior qualifications into account, make the exams fair so more than two people out of seventy can pass them and refund the money that every teachers paid for their licence about one month before the new requirements were announced by the same people.</p>\n<p>I have to pay tribute to the Filipino teachers. They are paid less than half of the salary we get and nearly all of them send it home to their family in the Philippines as soon as they get it. If the new \"requirements\" were a kick in the teeth for us, it was a bombshell for them. Yet they handled the course and the further shocks far better than we did, and unlike us Englishmen, they spent a damn site less time complaining about it!</p>\n<p>Still, the morale of the teachers has been hit hard and those of us with families are in a very tough position. We either allow ourselves to be blackmailed or we leave.</p>\n<p>That said, I can\'t see how this will work out for the Teacher\'s Council. There is no doubt that a huge proportion of teachers will leave rather than be pushed into taking the new course and who will replace them? Better qualified teachers? Why would they want to pay for a totally unrecognised course to work in Thailand when other countries will pay them? Travellers and loose cannons? Not likely, and the few that do will be unqualified and untrustworthy.</p>\n<p>The only people that are going to feel the squeeze are those with roots here. Most if us work weekends to help with those extra bills and forcing us to give up our free time is impossible.</p>\n<p>My message to the Teacher\'s Council is this: you\'ve had your little money spinner with the \"Culture\" course, but don\'t push your luck too far. This game of \"Who needs who?\" works both ways. We will allow you to toy with us to a point because we love Thailand and want to stay, but as much as you hate to admit it, you need us too. If you insult our intelligence and continually try to milk us like this, it might be you that ends up losing face, families that suffer and the student youth of Thailand that pays the cost of your greed.</p>\n</p>','','2008-07-01 05:48:01',1,'2008-07-01 05:48:01','2009-11-05 20:08:02'),(851,38,'Before you teach','before-you-teach','What every teacher should do and know before opening day','The first thing every teacher should do before starting a new job is to inspect; inspect beyond the usual school tour that is part of most interviews.

Is there air conditioning?','<p>Before beginning this first installment on teacher help and needed materials, let me introduce myself. I am \"wangsuda,\" sometimes-frequent poster on www.ajarnforum.net, and a teacher of English, math, and science here in Bangkok. I have been teacheing for over five years now, starting my career in the USA teaching American literature and composition to high school students. After three years of teaching in America, I moved to Korea and taught TOEFL exam preparatory classes, as well as EFL/ESL classes. In 2003, I moved to Bangkok to continue teaching. I now work for a government school in their Mini-English Program. Through all this, I managed to earn a dual subject teaching credential (English: EFL/ESL specialization, and math) in California, as well as a Korean teaching credential. Why do I state this? Because I want you to know that there is experience and education behind what I write. Is what I advise guaranteed to work? Nope, you must put it in practice OR adapt what I suggest to fit your own needs. I do hope that these articles give you a solid foundation with which to build your own teaching career. Let us now begin with what every teacher should know and do before the first day of class, and what every teacher should prepare for during the first week of class.\n<p>It is October, and time to search for that perfect teaching job here in Thailand. Before you go out looking, be prepared for the interview. There is no better way to prepare than by reading the information located at http://www.ajarn.com/Jobs/interview.htm. In this article are tips on looking your best for that first impression and the hard-hitting questions you should ask before signing on the dotted line. If everything is in order, then sign away! Congratulations! You are now an EFL instructor! So what should you do now?</p>\n<p>The first thing every teacher should do before starting a new job is to inspect; inspect beyond the usual school tour that is part of most interviews. Ask to be taken to the classrooms you will use. Look at where you will teach. What do you have? Are there whiteboards or chalkboards? Do you have any type of technology to aid you in teaching? Is there air conditioning? Are you moving to several different classrooms, and are they far apart? Take notes! Ask questions! The better informed you are, the better prepared you will be on that first day. Additionally, ask about the course material. Schools saying, \"oh, the students will have everything they need\" is not an acceptable answer. Learn what the course books are and where they can be purchased (or where they are stored, if the school supplies the books). Ask to take a course book home with you, and read it. Learn what you will teach. Remember, the better prepared you are for day one of the new term, the more \"face\" you will gain. Now do not stop here, there are supplies you need to obtain!</p>\n<p>Regardless of what your school or organization states, ALWAYS have your own supplies ready and with you at all times while at work. What you need to prepare is a \"teacher toolbox,\" containing all your supplies. In a regular tackle-box container, you should have:</p>\n<p>Whiteboard markers in at least three colors. Bottles of refill ink for said markers are also recommended and rather cheap. I find that the Sakura brand of markers is very long lasting, and very easy to refill. So far this year, I have only used one set of colored markers - they last forever! Oh yes, do not forget whiteboard marker erasures! <br />Pens and pencils. Try to keep at least five extra pens near you at all times, as well as five \"2B\' pencils for marking computerized grade sheets. This category also includes felt markers for grading (black or blue), and liquid paper or correction tape. <br />Stapler and staples. I have yet to teach at a school ANYWHERE where I have easy access to a stapler. Get your own. Stay away from the smaller staplers that use the #10 refills; they really are not worth anything. For all school stapling needs (from one sheet to 20 sheets) obtain an Elephant Brand #DS-45N stapler and at least two boxes of #35 staple refills. <br />One box of assorted clips. Like staplers, they are never around when you need one; just get your own. <br />One box of paper clips. <br />A glue stick. <br />A decent pair of scissors. Schools usually have the small, \"made for kindergarten\" types, and they are crap. Get adult scissors. <br />Your own hole punch. The Power Stone PS-20 is small, and can punch up to 10 sheets of paper at a time. <br />A calculator. <br />Markers for overhead projectors (nothing worse than having access to an overhead projector and having nothing with which to write). <br />Post-It notes. <br />A floppy disk and CD-W (if you have computer access). <br />A pad of lined, A-4 paper (at least 100 sheets). <br />A ream of unlined A-4 paper (optional). <br />Rubber bands.<br /><br />Yes, this is a big list, but all is obtainable at the larger stores (Big C, Tesco-Lotus) and can be purchased for under 1000 baht. There are pros and cons to purchasing your own supplies. The pros are that you are ready to teach on the first day of class WITHOUT searching for supplies and making lame apologies to your students as to why you cannot write on the whiteboards (\"sorry kids, I didn\'t think I had to bring my own,\" is NOT a good impression). The cons? Your school might not ever buy you supplies if you show up with your own. My advice is to be prepared. Even when I taught in America, I always had my teacher toolbox with me, and refilled it from what the school supplied.</p>\n<p>You have inspected the school, read the course book, and purchased the supplies you need. So what do you do now? Now, learn what kind of students you have, and how you will teach them. Generally, you will have below average or beginner level students (regardless of what your school tells you). This next part of the article gives you tips and suggestions in identifying less-proficient readers and strategies in teaching them, identifying below average English language learners and strategies in teaching them, and ends with general suggestions in teaching EFL.</p>\n<p>Characteristics of Less-Proficient Readers</p>\n<p>Less-proficient readers read and process what they have read at a slower rate than most of their peers. Less-proficient readers are likely to have some or all of the following characteristics:</p>\n<p>&bull; Slower reasoning processes; less likely to see cause-and-effect relationships and to make inferences, draw conclusions, transfer learning, or generalize based on several experiences.</p>\n<p>&bull; Difficulty recognizing and using contextual clues to assist comprehension.</p>\n<p>&bull; Shorter attention spans and less motivation to learn.</p>\n<p>&bull; Difficulty with following directions.</p>\n<p>&bull; Difficulty retaining what they have learned.</p>\n<p>&bull; Poor work habits and difficulty working on their own.</p>\n<p>&bull; Less confidence and creativity than their peers.</p>\n<p>&bull; Poor organizational skills.</p>\n<p>&bull; Difficulty sequencing.</p>\n<p>&bull; Less confidence when reading orally.</p>\n<p>TEACHING STRATEGIES: LESS-PROFICIENT READERS</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide a stimulating environment to help keep students\' attention.</p>\n<p>&bull; Use direct teaching; have a clearly defined goal (more on this in the lesson-planning article).</p>\n<p>&bull; Break learning goals into smaller tasks and teach in increments.</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide many practice opportunities.</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide immediate feedback to avoid having students \"learn\" errors; give encouragement to build confidence.</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide high interest, low-level reading materials for practice.</p>\n<p>&bull; Pre-teach vocabulary to build confidence.</p>\n<p>&bull; Preview unfamiliar concepts.</p>\n<p>&bull; Reward steps of achievement; use a progress chart to indicate improvement.</p>\n<p>&bull; Ask for and provide frequent summaries of reading material.</p>\n<p>Characteristics of Students with below average english language abilities</p>\n<p>&bull; Short attention spans; easily distracted from tasks.</p>\n<p>&bull; Trouble with abstractions, such as humor, figures of speech, maps, and diagrams; they are concrete learners.</p>\n<p>&bull; Difficulty understanding cause and effect; reduced capability for problem solving, reasoning, drawing conclusions, making inferences, and generalizing; also have difficulty transferring learning from one situation to another and with sequencing.</p>\n<p>&bull; Communication problems with peers.</p>\n<p>&bull; May show a lack of judgment.</p>\n<p>&bull; Willingness to accept the authority of others.</p>\n<p>&bull; Dependence on others to assist with tasks.</p>\n<p>&bull; Like and need routines.</p>\n<p>TEACHING STRATEGIES: STUDENTS WITH below average <br />(pre-beginner or beginner) English language abilities</p>\n<p>&bull; Break down tasks into smaller tasks. Sequence the tasks.</p>\n<p>&bull; Give simple, clear directions; make the teaching objective clear.</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide many opportunities to practice; use computer-assisted instruction, peer tutoring, and much guided practice.</p>\n<p>&bull; Provide immediate feedback so that errors are not \"learned.\"</p>\n<p>&bull; Have whole-group responses, such as responding in unison, so that responses are offered from all students.</p>\n<p>&bull; Incorporate good work habits with learning tasks, such as emphasizing the importance of following directions, working cooperatively, and providing satisfactory work.</p>\n<p>&bull; Use a variety of teaching strategies, as well as visual, audio, and concrete materials.</p>\n<p>&bull; Assign smaller, less time-consuming tasks. Use concrete examples.</p>\n<p>&bull; Use direct teaching. Provide students with more time to complete work.</p>\n<p>&bull; Introduce key words before reading; provide guided notes that will help students through the assignment.</p>\n<p>&bull; Use a reward system. Help students keep track of achievements on a progress chart.</p>\n<p>&bull; Follow a familiar teaching procedure or pattern. One procedure is to model and explain the steps of a task; then repeat the steps, pausing between steps to allow students to tell what to do next.</p>\n<p>&bull; Include students in whole-group discussions; then review questions with individual students after the lesson.</p>\n<p>general strategies for efl/esl teaching</p>\n<p>1. Make the directions brief and specific. In some cases, have students repeat the directions for completing the task. Present the directions orally, in written form, and on tape. Have extra copies of the written instructions available or provided on the computer with enlarged fonts.</p>\n<p>2. Provide well-organized study guides. Add prompts to the guides, highlighting or underlining important points and key words and ideas. Tape-record chapters of reading for students to take home or use books on tape available at local libraries. Have students keep assignment notebooks.</p>\n<p>3. Use peer tutors and collaborative learning situations.</p>\n<p>4. Teach vocabulary and important information before reading. Build on the students\' range of knowledge and experiences. Make connections to the students\' lives.</p>\n<p>5. Review important information from previous readings or lessons before continuing.</p>\n<p>6. Present information in a variety of ways to address different learning styles or intelligences. Include tactile and concrete presentations.</p>\n<p>7. Teach to fill in specific gaps in knowledge. Direct instruction works well.</p>\n<p>8. Break the learning goal into small subtasks and teach these sequentially. Teach prerequisite skills when needed.</p>\n<p>9. Focus instruction based on specific objectives. For example, block off parts of a workbook page or an assignment to focus on one skill or idea.</p>\n<p>10. Slow the teaching pace and allow extra time for students to complete tasks.</p>\n<p>11. Use a reward system, such as earning special privileges. Have students help keep track of their achievements on a progress chart.</p>\n<p>12. Provide many practice opportunities. Simple repetition works best in many cases.</p>\n<p>13. Provide immediate feedback. It keeps interest and motivation high and lessens the chance that students \"learn\" a mistake by not noticing correction made later to their work.</p>\n<p>14. Evaluate student work by focusing on specific learning goals for that student.</p>\n<p>15. For evaluation, give tests orally and accept oral responses, or highlight the questions that are most important for students to answer.</p>\n<p>Wow! A lot of information to learn and much to buy BEFORE your first day of class! For those who have completed a TEFL course, much of this is review. For those who are the \"dive right in\" type, read carefully and realize what you are getting yourself in to! For the November start date of the new term, my next article will detail lesson planning, complete with your very own lesson planning guidelines. Postscript: I would like to thank Dr. Albert Jones, Charter College of Education - the California State University of Los Angeles, who helped me compile these teaching suggestions. His lectures (and the notes I took on said lectures) during my graduate work in education are the foundation of this article. I would also like to thank Dr. Edward R.

While appropriate strategies, applied to learning, work; all is for naught when there is no set classroom environment. In other words, what are the classroom rules and goals that allow you, the teacher, to effectively use proven methodology to teach? And not just to teach, but to accomplish unit objectives and daily goals that you set for your students? This month, I will share some basic classroom rules and goals that I use every day, and my reasoning behind using them.</p>\n<p>When discussing overarching goals and objectives that I set for my students, it is important to review both my central focus, and how that focus relates in creating my ideal learning environment. The central focus of my classroom should not be entirely on me, as a teacher and a fountain of knowledge. Instead, I want to share the focus of the class with informational finding and understanding. To accomplish this, I want to set the student\'s feet on a particular path of knowledge, and let them (the students) lead the way. My role then becomes facilitator, answering questions and keeping students on the chosen path of the day. While the central focus of my classroom is student understanding, that understanding comes through my intervention in making curriculum knowledge accessible. In short, I plan the route, and let students lead the way through discussion, acting, writing, and various exercises. This focus, in turn, leads to creating my ideal learning environment that stimulates learning through teacher/student interaction, gives students hope through having a teacher listen to them, establishes trust between students and the teacher through the teacher working with, instead of against, the students, and has limited, but directed, teacher intervention. This paragraph, then, establishes my overarching goals as a teacher. Let us now see how my goals define various student expectations, expectations in student behavior, classroom climate, and academic goals.</p>\n<p>Student behavior is nothing more than the rules teachers establish to govern students. For many teachers, these rules have one thing in common - they all begin with the word \"NO.\" The problem with this rationality is when a teachers states what cannot be done, no positive statement is made as to what will be done in a class - all negative rules do is highlight the bad. With this in mind, I have established a few rules highlighting positive, rather than negative, behaviors.<br />1. Be Respectful - many teachers have rules stating \"no talking back,\" \"no gum chewing,\" \"no writing on desks.\" Cannot all this negativity be summed up in one positive statement? Yes, it can, and that is what \"be respectful\" means. It also means more than just no talking, chewing, and destruction. It is a method of treating other students as well. If a student is respectful to his/her teacher, his/her fellow students, and the school\'s property, than you have a well-behaved student whose life is not governed by a list of \"no\'s.\"</p>\n<p>2. Be Informed - when a student walks into my class he/she needs to be ready for anything. Being informed is more than having homework completed; it includes reading (assigned material as well as outside material), classroom awareness (what are we doing, and where are we in the grand scheme of things), and news awareness (being aware of school, local, state, and national events). Being informed helps in literature interpretation, since many texts relate their stories to events that happened in Thailand or world history.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;3. Be Prepared- like the Boy Scouts, a student should be prepared when s/he walks into my class. This preparedness is more than just having a pencil and some paper (although that is nice); it includes being ready for a changing classroom dynamic. Some days may include acting out scenes from the currently studied literature, working on group projects, demonstrating a knowledge base and understanding of material on assessment day, and/or anything my educationally directed mind thinks of. Being prepared for class allows a student to better prepare him/herself for the world.</p>\n<p>4. Participate - a student can be as respectful, informed, and prepared as s/he can, and I will never know it unless the student opens his/her mouth in class. My classes are loud, for much learning and understanding comes through interaction between the students and me. One method of assessment I use is how a student responds, orally, to questions I pose to the class. Participation also includes reenactment of literature, drawing, reading aloud, sharing ideas, debate of topics and concepts, and anything else I can think of which brings learning and understanding more accessible to the student.</p>\n<p>Combining the aforementioned rules with my central focus let me now describe to you the climate of my class; that is, what can you expect when you walk in to my class? This is the physicality of the classroom environment, how I take my ideas and physically implement them. An important aspect in my ideal learning environment is room layout. Rather than have desks regimentally lined up with no room for deviation, I believe that desk layout should be flexible. My room normally has desks arranged in either a horseshoe or a \"V\" shape. This allows me instant access to any student who needs immediate help on any project. In my opinion, when a student has a question, it should be answered immediately, and not having rows of desks to navigate aids in that, thus furthering the creation of an ideal learning environment. Desks in a horseshoe arrangement allow another facet in an ideal learning environment - that of performance freedom. With a large, empty space in the middle of the room, students can perform plays and scenes out of books without the stigma of being in front of the class. It also allows me to move freely when lecturing, personally addressing all students, and making them feel like they are part of the learning process, rather than something being \"spoken to.\"</p>\n<p>A learning environment should be colorful. Posters, student works, and relevant materials need to be displayed to facilitate learning and understanding. It is important to frequently change wall displays, depending on units taught. All these things, open communication, room layout, and room design, help create what I consider an ideal learning environment.</p>\n<p>Through all this, it is my goal to have students achieve certain academic standards related to my central focus as a teacher. Since my central focus is to promote an overall understanding of an English curriculum as provided by a given school, it is my desire to aid students in achieving the following goals:</p>\n<p>1. Students will question - question what, you may ask. Anything and everything. The way students learn to interpret literature is to question what the author is trying to say. Through questioning, students learn to create their own interpretations of literature, thus making the story theirs (this means that instead of a teacher dictating interpretations, students question, learn, understand, and develop their own correct interpretation).</p>\n<p>2. Students will interpret literature, and be able to link various interpretations to their own lives - in my opinion, people write to share experiences and to inform others. If students can read, understand, interpret, and link a story to their life, then that student can understand more of the world around him/her, and hopefully be able to accomplish goal number three.</p>\n<p>3. Students will learn critical thinking - two important aspects of critical thinking are questioning and interpreting. When a student can do these things, s/he can critically think through and analyze anything. For me, the question is, why should students (or young people) have a herd mentality when it comes to forming opinions. Just because \"everyone else is doing it,\" or something is popular, does that make it right for everyone? My students should be able to question, interpret, and critically analyze whether an idea is right for them or not; and if not, how to inform people as to the negative side of something. This leads to:</p>\n<p>4. Students will be effective communicators - the above three goals are for naught if a student cannot communicate his/her ideas to the outside world. For me, communication includes both written and oral communication. Students learn how to write essays, plays, and stories in my class. Students learn oral communication through question and answer time, oral presentations, and mock debates. All this prepares students to effectively be rational thinkers, able to take ideas and either make them their own, or discard them as useless. Thus, these four goals could be combined into one overarching goal - that of helping students reach their full individualistic potential, to become a person in their own right, and not just another follower.</p>\n<p>The goals that I have for students may seem lofty, and some may doubt whether all of them can be accomplished in a single school year. What is important is that I, as a teacher, implant these ideas into the minds of students.</p>','','2004-10-01 06:22:20',1,'2004-10-01 06:22:20','2009-11-05 21:09:21'),(853,38,'The basics of lesson planning','the-basics-of-lesson-planning','Something every teacher should know','The first step in planning a lesson is to have an overview of exactly what will be learned in that lesson (or group of lessons).  For example, if you are teaching verb use, you need to determine what you want students to learn.','<p>Last month, a columnist wrote on the importance of lesson planning. This month, I would like to expand on that importance by explaining some of the basics in lesson planning. These basics include overview, purpose, and objectives of lessons; information transference; activity planning; and knowledge/skill acquisition verification. So let us start at the beginning and examine what is useful in planning lessons.\n<p>The first step in planning a lesson is to have an overview of exactly what will be learned in that lesson (or group of lessons). For example, if you are teaching verb use, you need to determine what you want students to learn. Are you including future, present, and past tenses? Active and/or passive uses of verbs? Regular and/or irregular verbs? In the overview, you can block out each step of verb use you want to teach, and this helps in estimating exactly how many classroom hours you will spend teaching this particular topic. Tied in with the lesson overview is the lesson purpose. The purpose is the justification of the overview; that is, why is what you are teaching useful? To go back to the verb example, many people would argue that teaching the passive tense of verbs is no longer important in either speaking or writing English (please refer to current issues of the MLA Writing Style Guide for further information regarding the fazing out of passive voice). Therefore, if you are teaching the passive voice, state why it is learning is important. An easy way to do this is to answer this question: \"What benefit will the students gain in learning this information?\" The answer to this question is your lesson\'s purpose. Once the overview and purpose of a lesson is established, individual lesson objectives can now be determined. Lessons objectives are nothing more than listing the specific skills or information that you hope the students will learn on that particular day. Objectives should be kept short, simple, and easily achievable. Teachers who expect that \"students will be able to master verb use\" in one lesson are dreaming. Students will not be able to master verb use, even after five lessons. Break that objective down into several small chunks; for example, \"students will be introduced to, and orally practice, simple present tense.\" This type of objective is more realistic and much easier to accomplish.</p>\n<p>Now that you have mapped out your overview, purpose, and objectives of your lesson, now it is time to plan how you will disseminate knowledge. This is the second step in lesson planning, planning how to give and demonstrate your information. This is the easy part of lesson planning, for all you have to do is make a list of what you will need on teaching day. List the worksheets you plan to use, the pages of a textbook you plan to cover, audio and/or video equipment you plan to use, etc. By doing this, you can plan for any equipment you will need, copies you need made, or supplementary material you might need to obtain.</p>\n<p>Now for step three - the class activity! What will you have the students do? Is it time for group work? An individual project? A game? Reading and writing? Worksheets? Simple lecture and discussion? A combination of one or more of these? What ever you do, write it down and be ready for it! Plan your class activities carefully, and always have a backup activity ready, just in case the original activity does not go over well. Additionally, list what supplies you might need for your activity and make sure you can obtain them. Class activities are a great way to learn, but only if the activity is well planned.</p>\n<p>We now come to verification - how will you determine what (if anything) the students learned? Verification takes many forms, including oral checking (question and answer), short quizzes, tests, and oral explanations of what was discussed in class. Verification should take place at every class session. In this way, you can pre-determine what material needs to be reviewed for the next session OR if you can move at a quicker pace because the students learn fast.</p>\n<p>Finally, every lesson plan should have a summary column - a place where you can make notes during the class. Write down what activities were successful (or not successful). Keep track of material that needs to be reviewed or highlighted. Finally, take detailed notes if the class took a different track than what was originally planned (especially if that different track encouraged greater student learning).</p>\n<p>Lesson planning can be difficult, especially if you have never done it before. To make planning easier, here is a template to help you organize your thoughts. After a few tries at planning, a good lesson plan can be written in a short time. Additionally, once a lesson is written KEEP IT! Lessons can be used many times! Save all worksheets, activity plans, and lesson plans, for they can be used when you re-teach the course during another term.</p>\n</p>','','2004-11-01 07:26:55',1,'2004-11-01 07:26:55','2009-11-05 21:09:56'),(854,38,'Classroom discipline','classroom-discipline','How to keep students in check','The first step in maintaining classroom discipline is to find out exactly what the overall school disciplinary procedure is. Somewhere, a school should have a published discipline policy and you need to obtain it.','<p>Perhaps the hardest thing for a teacher to maintain is classroom discipline. A teacher can be prepared for class from now until Sunday and be extremely knowledgeable in his/her subject matter, but all is for naught if the class is completely uncontrollable. So how does a teacher go about setting up and maintaining class discipline? This month\'s article will explore the realm of classroom discipline, first looking at what the teacher needs to accomplish before actual teaching, and then looking at various methods of maintaining control and discipline in the class.\n<p>The first step in maintaining classroom discipline is to find out exactly what the overall school disciplinary procedure is. Somewhere, a school should have a published discipline policy and you need to obtain it. This policy should clearly explain the school rules, and what punishments occur when these rules are broken. If your school does not have a rules/discipline policy, it is up to you to talk to an administrator and verbally get a list of rules (after all, you cannot \"play the game\" if you do not know the rules). Additionally, find out what sort of disciplinary actions you and the school can take when these rules are broken. Once you have the school rules, set up your own class rules (preferably ones that dovetail with the school rules. For more information on classroom rules, please see my previous article on classroom rules). Explain the rules to your students and explain the punishments that go along with breaking the rules. If you are ambitious, you can set up a \"first/second/third\" offence policy. What ever you set up, please STICK BY YOUR POLICIES! Once you allow one exception to the rules, students will walk all over you. Let us now look at some common methods of maintaining classroom discipline. NOTE: Just because I write about them does NOT mean I endorse them. Personally, I do not believe in draconian methods of punishment. With that said, some teachers can use them effectively.</p>\n<p>I. Draconian Methods of Classroom Discipline. Called this because they directly act upon the student, making them do some sort of physical action as a punishment for bad behavior.<br />A. Standing at attention. This is a simple method of classroom discipline. If a student breaks a rule, simply make him or her stand at attention for a set length of time. <br />B. Nose to the wall. A bit more harsh than standing at attention, this method of punishment requires a student not only to stand at attention BUT to hold a piece of paper against the classroom wall using his/her nose. Very humiliating, but can be effective for severe troublemakers.<br />II. Brownian Movement Methods of Discipline. Called this because you make the student or students move to various parts of the room.<br />A. The \"dunce\" chair. Have a desk in the front of your class. The offending student gets to sit in full-view isolation for a period of time. This method can work well for talkers.<br />B. Full class movement. Students like to sit with friends and talk. Break them up by assigning seats. Sitting by student number works well in maintaining a healthy and effective learning environment. If this does not work, seat your students in boy/girl alternates. For the younger grades, this can work wonders. <br />C. \"Dumb and Dumber\" Method of Discipline. It has been my experience that the students in need of the most discipline are those who are either failing of receiving a \"courtesy pass\" (a common grade here in LOS). Re-arrange the seats so that the lowest grades sit up front with you. The advantages of doing this is twofold: first, these students are less likely to cause trouble; and second, you can easily give them extra help. <br />III. Pavlovian Methods of Discipline. Yes, good old reward and punish!<br />A. Loads of homework - part one. The offending student receives extra homework or class work for every infraction of the rules. Eventually, the poor lad/lass is bogged down with extra work and soon learns (you hope) that good behavior means less work. If your little offender does not do the extra work, a simple call to the parents can work wonders.<br />B. Loads of homework - part two. If a student breaks a rule or is generally a pain, then load the class with extra work. Make sure the class knows who is responsible for the extra assignments. Hopefully, your class will be disciplining themselves in order to get out of extra work. Additionally, your little offender might receive a bit of \"street justice\" which is far more effective than anything you could do!<br />IV. Proximity Methods of Discipline. Go to where the trouble is!<br />A. Vocal. Many students tend to talk when you are talking. Fine, then put them on the spot. Personally call on the talker and ask him/her a question based on what you said. For me, I always ask, \"What did I just say?\" Yes, this causes embarrassment, but it does get students listening. Additionally, it can reinforce your lecture by having students repeat salient parts. <br />B. Physical. This is my favorite method of maintaining classroom discipline. When I see a troubled area of my classroom, I simply walk over there and teach from that section of the room. I will even get my students involved by having them make my whiteboard notes. We all know how shy students can be, especially at the younger ages; so, for me, this works the best. If a student in my \"trouble area\" does well at making my whiteboard notes or solving problems I give him/her, then I make sure the whole class knows what a good job that student did.</p>\n<p>Remember, these are only brief suggestions designed to spark your own ideas in maintaining discipline in your class. Not all ideas work for all teachers or situations. Let\'s face it; any class of over 50 students is next to impossible to discipline based on the numbers. The best you can hope for is to teach to the 10-20 students who want to learn, and hope that (maybe by osmosis?) the rest of the students learn something. The important things to remember are this: create a set of rules and enforce them; and create a discipline system that works for you and use it.</p>\n</p>','','2004-12-01 07:30:18',1,'2004-12-01 07:30:18','2009-11-05 21:09:19'),(855,38,'Preparing for school (part one)','preparing-for-school-part-one','Welcome to April! - school is definitely finished','For all teachers, the school break can be used for self-improvement. Self-improvement is easy and can be done from the comfort of your own home.','<p>Welcome to April! School is definitely finished; grades are turned in and now all we, as teachers, have to do is relax, right? Wrong! This is the time to start getting yourself ready to face the trials and tribulations you will face in the next school year. To help you accomplish the tasks needed in preparing for the first days in school, these next two articles (April and May) will detail what should be done in insuring a successful school year beginning. First, let me outline the parameters of the next two articles. First, a recent scan of the ajarn.com jobs board showed a large increase in the number of school wishing to hire teachers for EPs (English Programs). EPs generally have small classes (20-35 students), teachers generally have between 35-100 students, and teachers see these same 35-100 students all year. These articles are directed to those who work in EPs. Second, this first article will be divided into two parts: new hires and returning teachers, as the tasks for each are different. Let us now delve into what newly hired teachers should do before that first day of school.\n<p>Congratulations, new hire! You have just landed one of the higher paying jobs in the TEFL industry! Now what do you do? First, organize your teaching supplies. In a previous article I wrote (entitled \"Before You Teach\"), I listed the necessary articles every teacher needs when setting foot into a classroom. Read that list, and see what you need. Find out how many of those items your school is providing and how many you have to provide. Once all the necessary supplies are gathered, assemble them in one place (either in your home or in your classroom).</p>\n<p>The second thing you should do is get hold of the material you will teach. Become familiar with its contents. Identify areas that might be difficult for you to teach and start learning it. Find out if the school uses pre-made worksheets along with the texts, or are you required to make your own? Start blocking out a teaching time frame of the materials. Estimate how long it will take you to teach the material and start forming units. In other words, start planning your lessons. Nothing is worse than a teacher unprepared to teach, so be prepared.</p>\n<p>Many EPs have dedicated classrooms for EP students. If you have a dedicated classroom, then this third item is for you. Visit your classroom before school starts, and organize it as you see fit. Arrange the desks as you want, put English language posters on the wall, and if you teach young students (M-2 and younger), add some color to your room. Make it different. Post your class rules at this time (see my article entitled \"Class Rules\"). If you want, move all your teaching supplies into your room and place them in your desk. While at your desk, organize that as well. Make sure your supplies are where you can easily get to them. Place a couple of pictures on your desk. Students love to see pictures.</p>\n<p>Finally, do a dry run to your school. In other words, pick a weekday and go to your school during the morning rush hour. Find out how long the travel time is and what alternate routes are available to you. Make sure that you know exactly how to get to school and exactly how long it takes you to travel.</p>\n<p>Well new hires, that should keep you busy for a while. Good luck to you in your new position. Now let us look at what returning teachers should do before the first day of school.<br />For returning teachers, the school break can be a time of self-assessment; that is, examining what you did last school year and finding ways to improve it. So how is this accomplished?</p>\n<p>First, examine what you taught. Did you have extremely successful lessons? If so, what made them successful? Are the elements of a successful lesson transferable to all lessons? Did you have unsuccessful lessons? What made them unsuccessful? How can you improve them? Speaking of lessons, now is the time to go over those old lesson plans (you did save them, right?). What materials can you add or subtract to make your lessons even better? Can you re-organize your lessons into a more logical progression for better learning? Are there educational game that you can add to further lesson understanding? While refining your lessons, find out if your school is adding or changing the learning material you use. If there are changes in the learning materials, change and adapt your lessons now, to be ready for the new school year. In short, take what you prepared last school year and make it better. Get your lessons written and perfected NOW, so that the school year is easier for you.</p>\n<p>For all teachers, the school break can be used for self-improvement. Self-improvement is easy and can be done from the comfort of your own home. For those serious about teaching, here are some books that can help you become a better teacher. These books are available from amazon.com.</p>\n<p>1. \"The Structure of Schooling,\" by Richard Arum and Irenee R. Beattie (ISBN 0-7674-1070-X).

So what do you do for the first two days of school? This is the time to organize and structure your class the way you want. This is also the time to pre-assess all new and returning students to determine their level of English. Now let us look at how the first two days of school break down, and the activities you can do for each day. Please note: these activities are designed for a 50-minute period. If you teach in blocks, then the two days of activities can be merged into one day.\n<p><strong>DAY 1</strong><br />1. Teacher introduction. Introduce yourself to your new students. Tell them who you are, what you do, and what you expect. Things to include are where you are from, your qualifications, your likes and dislikes, hobbies, and maybe a small, personal anecdote. Why do you do this? Because it is a lead-in to the second activity of the day.<br />2. Student introduction. Have your students introduce EACH OTHER, following the model of your introduction.. Pair your students up randomly. Put a list of item they need to include on your white board for them to answer. Give your students 10-15 minutes to write their answers on a piece of paper. During this preparation time, the students should be interviewing each other, and writing down the information given by the other student. At the end of the allotted preparation time, call on your pairs to introduce each other. This activity is good because it allows you to accomplish many things. It allows you to:<br />a. Assess your student\'s ability to follow directions.<br />b. Assess your student\'s speaking ability.<br />c. See how well your students work together.<br />d. Find the troublemakers (or the students who would rather play than to do class work).<br />e. Learn about your students.</p>\n<p><strong>DAY 2<br /></strong>This is the day you set down your class procedures. Class procedures need to me taught and hammered in immediately, otherwise you lose too much time during the school year trying to control your little mob of children. What items need to be covered? Well, how about:</p>\n<p>1. Entering the classroom. How do you want your students to enter? All at once? In a group? With or without shoes? (Moreover, I mention this one because at my school, students have to remove their shoes before entering ANY class, as per the director).<br />2. Getting to work immediately. Tell the students what their work assignments will be by having them written on the whiteboard. Train the students into getting to task right away.<br />3. When students are tardy. Do the students have to wai you before entering the room? Can they just walk in? Set this policy NOW and IN STONE. NO deviations.<br />4. End-of-period dismissal. How do you want your students to leave? Does the bell determine anything?<br />5. Listening to and responding to questions. How should the students answer questions?<br />6. Participating in class discussions. How much of a percentage of grade is class participation? Tell them now!<br />7. Understanding. How will you check for student understanding after you disseminate information?<br />8. When the teacher is absent. What should the students do when you are not in class?<br />9. Working cooperatively. How do you want your students to behave when working in groups?<br />10. Keeping a notebook. How should the students organize their notes, class, and homework?<br />11. Knowing the schedule for the class. Will you preview your class for the next day? Will you have instructions written on the whiteboard?<br />12. FINDING DIRECTIONS. It is amazing how many students do NOT know where to find directions for class work or homework. Tell them now.<br />13. Passing in papers. How do you want your students to turn in class work and homework? How about quizzes and tests?<br />14. Returning work. How will you return work? What should the students be doing while you return work?<br />15. Headings on papers. How do you want your students to put names and dates on papers? Nicknames or full names? Student numbers?<br />16. Asking a question. How should students indicate that they have a question?<br />17. Saying \"thank you.\" Is this something you want your students to do? Many Thai teachers require manners from their students. Will you?</p>\n<p>Yes, this is a long list. However, some items will not need to be covered. These are optional and need to be chosen by you. Remember, an effective teacher has well thought-out and structured procedures for all activities. An effective teacher teaches the procedures for each activity early in the year. An effective teacher rehearses the class so that procedures become class routines. In addition, an effective teacher reteaches a procedure when necessary and praises to reinforce when appropriate. Good luck for this new school year!</p>\n</p>','','2005-05-01 10:23:46',1,'2005-05-01 10:23:46','2009-11-06 01:01:47'),(857,38,'Making learners','making-learners','How learners learn','Each learner and each learning experience is unique; yet educators can identify patterns in the learning process. Designing effective learning requirements requires a clear understanding of, and attention to, both commonalities and differences in the learners and the learning.','<p>Each learner and each learning experience is unique; yet educators can identify patterns in the learning process. Designing effective learning requirements requires a clear understanding of, and attention to, both commonalities and differences in the learners and the learning.</p>\n<p>Since ancient times, the learning process has been a subject of study for philosophers, educators, and scientists. This curiosity continues to drive forward the methodologies used in a classroom. One major change in educational philosophy brought on by this research is the shift in paradigm from a teacher-centered classroom to a learner-centered classroom. This shift makes the students (learners) more responsible for their education, forcing them to draw upon previously learned skills in order to learn new materiel. Gone, then, is the simple task of memorization; replaced with an active, educational process. How does a teacher create a learner-centered classroom? Simple; by following these eight suggestions (the first four given now, the second four given in my next installment), a teacher can not only create a learner-centered classroom, but also shift his/her classroom position from simple lecturer to a knowledge facilitator.</p>\n<p>Step 1: Effective learners link new information to prior knowledge.<br />Meaningful and lasting learning is a cumulative process that connects previously learned material with new knowledge. Background knowledge creates a context and foundation for new material. Unsuccessful students often do not have the skills for linking previous learning to new information. They often lack essential retrieval strategies. Prior knowledge and experience remains inaccessible for these students.<br />The instructional challenge is to help students get in touch with what they already know. Learners need a repertoire of strategies to help them access this knowledge, as well as strategies for organizing new information into patterns that will help them make connections and integrate new understandings. Some strategies that can aid in this process include (but are not limited to):</p>\n<p>1. Visualizations of past learning experiences.<br />2. Quick (five minute) reviews.<br />3. Brainstorming and grouping.<br />4. Venn Diagrams.<br />5. Semantic mapping.<br />6. Group or class discussions.</p>\n<p>Step 2: Effective learners engage with process and context simultaneously.<br />Motivating students\' mental engagement is critical to successful education. Engaging instruction is student-centered, designed to instill a sense of wonderment, build self-esteem, and foster creativity. Open-ended experiences, with no \"right or wrong\" answers allow students to practice generating alternatives to simple memorization of facts, and choose actions and answers based on judgment and not just what they think the teacher wants to hear. In this way, context comes alive as knowledge and skills are applied in context actively and interactively.</p>\n<p>When students are given a choice in the when, what, and how of learning, they are more likely to embrace learning goals and increase their commitment to learning tasks. This idea is particularly important to students who feel they have little control over many aspects of their lives. Teachers who provide flexibility will most often get a higher level of responsibility from their students. Methods to accomplish this include:</p>\n<p>1. Choices in assignment time frames.<br />2. Various levels of difficulty for assignments.<br />3. Different formats for final products.<br />4. Different methods for task completion.<br />5. Options for either individual or peer work.</p>\n<p>Step 3: Effective learners access and organize information.<br />The ability to organize information is fundamental to effective thinking and learning. Skilled learners are able to organize information by recognizing and developing patterns both \"in and out of the box.\" <br />Learning-focused teachers move from isolated skills lessons to learning strategies lessons, sending the message to students that information gains value when we understand it and apply it. In this way, students gain a tool kit for building, shaping, and connecting information. Teaching students various organizational tools (along with constantly modeling them) provides cues for thinking, frameworks for accessing and retaining information, and the transfer of learning to other settings. This tool kit can contain:<br />1. Venn diagrams.<br />2. Story maps.<br />3. Concept maps.<br />4. Graphically displayed patterns and connections.<br />5. Sequence charts.</p>\n<p>Step 4: Effective learners require international and external mediation.<br />In a meditative learning environment, open-ended questions are the norm and both praise and criticism are limited. Students are encouraged to articulate \"thinking in progress\" as they experiment with both ideas and materials. The goal here is to transfer the external meditative voice of the teacher to the inner voice of the student. This self-talk and student-to-student talk guides the work on topics at hand and provides ways of focusing on and thinking about the materials at hand.<br />Meditative teachers and their learners mutually develop challenging goals and criteria for success for units and projects. Reflection and self-assessment along the way are critical components of such classrooms. To accomplish internal and external mediation, these tools help:<br />1. Journals (single-subject and general thought).<br />2. Learning logs.</p>\n<p>The concept of learning and teaching has come a long way from the simple lecture. Teachers now need to take a proactive hand in aiding and developing the learning process as well as teaching students how to learn. Unfortunately, most standard four-week TEFL courses do not include this kind of information during their learning and certification process.

Relatively speaking it costs a lot to employ a foreign teacher in Thailand.','<p>One of the greatest ironies of a Thai education - and there are many to choose from - is the constant need to withdraw students from lessons (where they learn) to practice and show others from outside of the school how much they have learnt (when they have not been in lessons to learn anything). The sports days, math days and science days (which include little of the named subject), the endless propaganda and marching, the speeches and gift giving: all in the name of education. Obviously these skills will benefit the student in the workplace, but only if they wish to be professional marchers. This attitude and approach is not only propagated in Thai education, but deeply embedded in the Thai psyche. &lsquo;Style over substance\' is a phrase normally targeted at the modern-day spin-centred politician, and the word commonly used to describe this shallow breed would be &lsquo;superficial\'. This phrase can also be used to describe many facets of the Thai education system and maybe Thai culture in general.</p>\n<p>Now before I offend anyone too greatly, I do not contend that Thai people are particularly more superficial than any other race. Since I have stayed in Thailand I\'ve found the Thai people remarkably friendly and generally polite, much more so than people back home in Britain are to foreigners. Thailand, for all its problems is a great country, not because of the beaches, islands or nightlife, but because of the people that inhabit it. This has led me to find reasons for and justify the &lsquo;superficial\' aspects of the culture. There is in western societies a need felt by the poorer members, or those that have come from a poorer background, to exhibit personal wealth. Proving how rich they are as a form of status, in short, &lsquo;showing off\' off to boost social self esteem. This argument could be used to explain why people living in a developing country, e.g. Thailand, have a burning desire to parade themselves around - both literally and metaphorically - doing only what could be described as &lsquo;showing off\'. Therefore, it can be argued that Thai\'s aren\'t innately superficial; they\'re just displaying symptoms of an insecure population scaling the slippery slope of development.</p>\n<p>Even if this argument holds true, it is hard not to criticise these symptoms. There can be no denying that Thai\'s have a penchant for superficial ceremony, superficial architecture and building work, superficial agreements and superficial smiles, all of which must, and I mean must, be captured by a camera or ten. The attitude beneath this picture taking feeding-frenzy is that without the picture to show people, the event might as well never have happened. It is always the staging of the event that matters, not the actual usefulness of the event itself. As any teacher who\'s been to a Thai sports day (where\'s the sport?) can vouch. There doesn\'t seem to be any concern that little Kwan has had a week of his valuable education (and bar a loving family what is more valuable for a child?) taken up by walking from A to B holding a stick, flag, balloon or anything else the teachers feel appropriate. What is of concern is that he is seen to be doing it right, doing exactly the same thing as everyone else, and much more importantly, doing it so it looks good in a photograph.</p>\n<p>Being a foreign teacher is again another superficial and costly exercise. They want to show you off like a new piece of gold jewelry or a good photograph. Relatively speaking it costs a lot to employ a foreign teacher in Thailand. Where is the value for money for the Thai in this transaction? You would hope that they would seek repayment from taking advantage of your English speaking and teaching abilities and background knowledge of a modern-education system, but alas no. You are there to attract new customers (i.e. parents of students): wheeled out like a 10 year old at a family gathering, asked to perform (instead of a little song, you just have to stand there and look western), and then shooed away whilst the Thai\'s get on with the all consuming business of snacking on a fishy or sugary treat, or maybe if they\'re in the mood, a little sing-song on the karaoke.</p>\n<p>How many Thai students fail their exams? None. What do you do if the students are not reaching the level the exam is set at? Drop the exam level. Does this attitude extend from Primary level all the way up to University? Yes. Does this make a Thai education worthless compared to other countries? Probably.</p>\n<p>I believe that the problems mentioned above stem ultimately from the fear of &lsquo;losing face\'. It is this fear that holds the education system back. What can be done about this? Unfortunately little can be done to change an adult\'s already indoctrinated mind, but there certainly is hope for the students. They need to be encouraged to ask questions and not fear failure in front of other people. Ultimately they need to be told that short-term failure can actually be a catalyst for long-term success, and losing face now might actually preserve face in the future.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2005-11-01 12:33:57',1,'2005-11-01 12:33:57','2009-11-06 02:02:58'),(859,39,'The pee, the nong and the wai','the-pee-the-nong-and-the-wai','Aspects of Thai culture','Although ajarn.com has never shirked from handing out some just criticism on Thai education and culture I felt it was only fair to balance worthy criticism with worthy praise.','<p>The last article I wrote for ajarn.com was highly critical of what I termed the &lsquo;superficial aspects\' of the Thai education system. This was an unsurprising rant: if an ex-pat doesn\'t grumble about the local population then something\'s wrong. Although ajarn.com has never shirked from handing out some just criticism on Thai education and culture I felt it was only fair to balance worthy criticism with worthy praise. Consequently, I have decided to brush the \"I will never be accepted as anything other than a foreigner\" chip off my Farang shoulder and praise the admirable aspects of Thai culture. Now this isn\'t as easy as it sounds, not because choices are lacking, but because it\'s always easier to moan and detract, rather than praise and promote. Similar sentiments are expressed by musicians who find that the hardest songs to write are the cheerful uplifting ones, and the easiest songs to write resemble a melancholic dirge. For some obscure reason it seems more genuine and heartfelt to criticize, but bogus and dare I say &lsquo;superficial\' to praise. Nevertheless, below is a brief description of some of best and most interesting parts of Thai culture. I have declined from talking about two of the biggest pulling factors to Thailand - the beaches and the weather - as praising a culture for its geography and climate makes as much sense as damning a population for living in a country with boring geography and a poor climate, or more specifically, Belgium. Anyway, I will proceed.\n<p><strong>The Food<br /></strong>I could write an essay on the various dishes of Thailand, and there are many already written, but instead, I\'ll limit myself to saying that it\'s cheap and fantastic, and without doubt deserves its reputation as a world food along side the likes of Italian, French and Indian food. Thai food is delicious (aloy mak), apart from the dessert, which is definitely disgusting (mai aloy).</p>\n<p><strong>Muay Thai</strong><br />Muay Thai is a great sport, though I have to confess that I am biased in this appraisal. A couple of fellow teachers and I have been allowed to train in the art at the Provincial Sport College. Being a person who has in the past shunned exercise in favour of a really comfy seat, this sport has captivated my imagination, getting me off the really comfy seat and into the gym. Muay Thai is another of those classic Thai contradictions. Thailand is a country where the head of the person is most revered and should rarely be touched by anyone else. The foot of the person is seen literally and spiritually as the lowest point of the body, and the saving of face and the preservation of face of others is imperative. Yet in Muay Thai - Thailand\'s national sport - the aim is to put your foot (leg, knee, elbow or fist) on the head of the opponent in such a way that the opponent loses face by, er, having it broken. I may have exaggerated the violent aspect of this for pure journalistic fun, but Muay Thai remains a magnificent sport which is deeply rooted within Thai culture and steeped in a thousand years of history making it one of the oldest martial arts in the world.</p>\n<p><strong>The Language<br /></strong>The Thai language and the sound that is created when spoken, has a dual action: its squawks can either reduce a man into a quivering murderous wreck or its hypnotic tonal undulations can lull him into a blissful sleep. Therefore I commend the Thai\'s on having a thoroughly interesting sound to their language. Foreigners might smirk at the problems the Thai\'s have when speaking English by mispronouncing &lsquo;V\' as a &lsquo;W\', mixing up their &lsquo;R\' and &lsquo;L\' sounds, and pronouncing &lsquo;S\' as &lsquo;Sa\'. Does it matter though if they want to watch a &lsquo;wideo\' or that their favourite colour is &lsquo;led\', or that &lsquo;sa-wimming\' is their favourite &lsquo;sa-port\', after which they might enjoy a nice &lsquo;i-sa-cream\'. Easy to mock, hey? But, their minor discrepancies in pronunciation pale into insignificance compared to the overall mangling of the Thai language by foreigners. The tonal system is certainly a problem for non-tonal speakers. For those of you you\'re not acquainted with it, there are five tones when speaking in Thai: high, low, middle, rising and falling. This leaves the possibly that one word can mean five different things depending on the tone in which it is spoken. When we get a tone wrong we must sound ridiculous to say the least, as we are in genuine danger of not only mispronouncing a word but also pronouncing a completely different word from the one intended, or turning a statement into a question, or a question into a statement.</p>\n<p><strong>Sonkran<br /></strong>They certainly know how to party in Thailand. Sonkran, which takes place in April is the biggest water fight in the world. No one who leaves their house will come back dry, as the streets are lined with willing assassins armed with water pistols and buckets of iced water, and the roads are congested with trucks full of people also armed and executing drive-by attacks. It\'s the hottest part of the year in Thailand (which is a great time to have a water festival), but also the driest with droughts raging all over the country (which is maybe not a great time to have a water festival).</p>\n<p><strong>Cigarette Packs<br /></strong>I like the &lsquo;old lady\' and the &lsquo;skulls\', but hate the &lsquo;intensive care man\' and the &lsquo;open chest cavity\', the &lsquo;teeth\', well, they just make me laugh. For those of you who have not been to Thailand recently, the country has now become one of the few to give their cigarette packs health warnings in the form of pictures as well as words. This is obviously an attempt to try and dissuade the smoker from continuing his or her habit, but to my knowledge it has not dissuaded a single one, and has only affected the length of queue in 7 Eleven when the customer asks for a different pack then the one originally given. One counterproductive result from this measure is that it has now given each pack a certain cartoonish character of its own; turning something that should be serious information into a macabre joke. Ok, I\'d be hard pushed to argue that cigarette packs are an important part of the culture, so why then have I listed this as one of the characteristics to be praised? Firstly, it\'s a novel feature which has only just been implemented. Secondly, Thailand is one of the first countries to introduce this measure which can certainly be viewed as groundbreaking. Thirdly, and most importantly, it is the intent of the measure and not the effectiveness that I believe is significant. In a country where change is usually small due to fear of offence, the extremeness of this measure is refreshing. Also, I have to confess I do find them quite funny.</p>\n<p><strong>The Smiles</strong><br />\"Thailand: the land of smiles\". It\'s very hard not to agree with this slogan, as in Thailand if all else fails then smile: an excellent way to shrug off any unfortunate situation. Smiling is clinically proven to increase happiness and is also known to be infectious. Therefore, smiling can be seen as a contagious disease that increases the well being and happiness of those infected, which is certainly better than contracting bird-flu.</p>\n<p><strong>The Pee, the Nong, and the &lsquo;Wai\'<br /></strong>To &lsquo;wai\' or not to &lsquo;wai\': that is the question. The &lsquo;wai\' is a beautifully submissive greeting (the placing of both palms together in front of the face accompanied with slight bow), which I think is to the benefit of Thai culture. There are rules accompanying the position of the &lsquo;wai\' in relation to the face (the higher up the more respectful), and also who should &lsquo;wai\' whom, and who you should not &lsquo;wai\'. This is clearly a minefield for the Farang, as these &lsquo;rules\' are learnt by the Thai progressively through life. The respect for elders within Thai culture is something that is lacking within western culture. The proper term of address for anyone who is older is Pee (placed before their name), which literally translates as older brother or sister, and anyone younger is Nong, which translates as younger brother or sister. This can also be troubling for the foreigner as gauging the age of a Thai person is difficult at the best of times, and you easily risk causing offence. A general rule of thumb to go by if you are not sure of the age, is to flatter the other person by addressing the male as Pee and the female as Nong.</p>\n<p>The above list is highly subjective and only touches lightly on certain aspects of Thai culture; anything more in depth would be a dissertation and not an article. I have refrained from mentioning Buddhism and the monarchy, which are both intrinsic characteristics of Thailand, owing to the fact that I know relatively little about these two subjects, which deserve to be covered in detail and with the up most respect, as anything less would be insulting. Above all Thai culture is unique, and it is something that the Thai people treasure, and I believe rightly so.</p>\n</p>','','2005-12-01 12:38:54',1,'2005-12-01 12:38:54','2009-11-06 02:02:55'),(860,40,'Career services corner','career-services-corner','Help in finding a job','As the head of a well-regarded English program at a government school in Bangkok, Thailand for the last 1.5 years, I have been largely appalled by the thousands of resumes I have seen, e-mails I have received, and the lack of interviewing skills of most teacher candidates I speak to.','<p>Hello and greetings to all of you. I am excited to be writing a new column for Ajarn.com called The Career Services Corner. The column is an effort, albeit miniscule, to improve the professionalism of teachers and prospective teachers, as well as employers, as we engage in the courtship game we call employment.\n<p>As the head of a well-regarded English program at a government school in Bangkok, Thailand for the last 1.5 years, I have been largely appalled by the thousands of resumes I have seen, e-mails I have received, and the lack of interviewing skills of most teacher candidates I speak to. I hope to address many of my concerns about the lack of professionalism in these areas in my monthly column on Ajarn.com. More importantly, I plan to raise these concerns so that I may then use this column to provide career services guidance to those seeking employment. This is not to disparage all those seeking teaching jobs in Thailand. On occasion, and with great joy, I meet someone who has it all together - from the first e-mail inquiry, to the cover letter, to the resume, to the interview, to the post-interview formalities. And, I promptly offer them a job!</p>\n<p>To begin with, let me provide you with a bit of background. I am a lawyer from the U.S., graduating from NYU Law in 1992. After law school, I spent 10 years working in career services at American law schools. First, I developed and managed an organization called The Public Service Law Network Worldwide (PSLawNet). This organization was designed to encourage public service by law students, and to help job seekers find work in the public interest. It is now the world\'s largest public service legal employment database.</p>\n<p>After my time at PSLawNet, I moved to American University Washington College of Law to create and coordinate the Office of Public Interest. I stayed at AU for about 2 years before moving to Thailand for a \"change\" about 2 years ago.</p>\n<p>All of this information is provided to show that I am an expert in career services, particularly as related to public service. As teaching is a public service, I feel that my nearly 10 years of career services experience is directly applicable here. In the last decade, I have helped edit, write, or review more than 20,000 resumes. I have conducted more than 2000 interviews. And, I have never before seen such a lot of bad resumes or met such bad interviewees as I have in the last 18 months in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Let\'s start the first column with the most simple, and overused, of platitudes: The first impression is the most important. Like with almost any platitude (which is why they become overused and unoriginal), this one carries much truth. Where does the first impression come from these days in the job-seeking world? The introductory, or initial inquiry, e-mail, of course. Let me show you a few examples from recent e-mails I have received in response to an ad posted on Ajarn.com:</p>\n<p>EX. 1 Computer Teacher Application</p>\n<p>EX. 2 I have experieces in teaching Elementary and College.</p>\n<p>EX. 3 I am available to teach this August.</p>\n<p>EX. 4 So incase you cant contact me within this month, email me and I will get to you as soon as I caome back.</p>\n<p>EX. 5 Our names are --- and Rick --- and we are both native English speakers from Australia.</p>\n<p>Alright, here we go. Let\'s look at each of these cases individually just to give you an idea of what my column will attempt to do. First, the computer teacher application. Hmm...looks ok, right? WRONG! I listed an ad for an English teacher, not a computer teacher. So, BOOM...deleted. Don\'t use the subject line of an e-mail to shoot yourself in the foot. There are too many such opportunities! This kind of mistake means I don\'t even have to look at the resume! Remember, when an employer posts a decent job with specific information, don\'t waste your time or the employer\'s time by sending an application e-mail that completely disregards all the ad\'s specifics!</p>\n<p>Second, the statement of \"experieces.\" What exactly are \"experieces\" anyway? Sounds scientific! Clear enough mistake, huh? Spelling is pretty important, even in e-mails. Even more important, I should not have to note, when applying for an English teaching job! In addition to spelling, as teachers of a second language we should all know that the word \"experience\" is a non-count noun, and should not be made plural. Be careful about this stuff - it makes a first cut quite easy for employers who want teachers who are qualified!</p>\n<p>Third, the August availability. Again, seems ok right? WRONG! The ad called for immediate English teachers only. Just another reminder of the importance of reading and paying attention to the details of the ad. When things like this happen, I wonder why I even bothered writing it in such detail. The fact that someone doesn\'t take the time to read what I wrote makes it unlikely they would be the kind of person I would want to manage.</p>\n<p>Fourth, self-explanatory. Another application full of typos and misspelled words. Please, please, please spell check your e-mails! If necessary, write them in MS Word so they are auto-checked, then copy them into the body of the e-mail! One mistake in an e-mail is too many. Three in one sentence sound the death knell for this application!<br />The last example actually came from a relatively strong e-mail, and was sent by two candidates who each are quite impressive. Unfortunately, they are apparently bound at the hip. I advertised for one position, quite clearly. And, like most employers, I rarely hire couples. There are any number of reasons for this. If one person goes, for example, two go. If one is unhappy with something, two are unhappy. If one proves to be an inept teacher, dealing with them is too touchy. Those are just three of a litany of reasons most of us avoid hiring couples.</p>\n<p>So, my advice, don\'t apply as couples. Don\'t even hint that you \"come attached.\" Write me an e-mail by yourself, with only your information in it. Let your partner do the same. If I interview you both unknowingly, then at least you have shown your independent worthiness to me. That might get you past the initial inclination to avoid couples. At that point, feel free to be open about being a couple. But be willing to offer yourself as an individual. Then it\'s the employer\'s call, as it should be!</p>\n<p>Ok, that\'s just a taste of what\'s to come. Stay tuned for crazy interview stories, more resume and cover letter advice, employer tips, and other random advice about job-seeking as a PROFESSIONAL in Thailand!

In fact, the very service my column appears on is an example of a job search device that by virtue of its very structure seems to discourage cover letters.</p>\n<p>Simply click a button and, \"BOOM,\" 37 odd employers have your resume and a short note from Phil saying you are interested in working with them! Convenient, yes. Effective, not necessarily!</p>\n<p>I am not saying that electronic mass mailings for teaching positions are completely useless. I understand that some employers, perhaps an increasing number, will disregard the lack of a cover letter and move right past the cookie-cutter e-mail from Phil announcing your \"interest\" and dig right into the cookie-cutter resume online.</p>\n<p>I am not one of those employers, however, and my sense is there are quite a few of us who look for, or at least appreciate, a bit more initiative.</p>\n<p>Having perhaps bitten that hand that feeds by complaining about the cookie-cutter style of e-mails and resumes from Ajarn.com, I will now try to mend fences a bit by noting that even in the world of mass-mailed, electronically-generated expressions of interest in teaching employment, there is some room fro creativity. I urge you to use this room, and to do so wisely.</p>\n<p>First and foremost, in sticking to this month\'s topic, take a few minutes to write a couple paragraphs to personalize the Ajarn.com e-mail containing the link to your resume. In particular, make me aware of the fact that you actually read my posting, know the name of my school (correctly spelled!), and have a legitimate interest in hearing back from ME rather than just hearing back from any old desperate English Program coordinator or language school head teacher who has lost his latest teacher and is tired of covering classes! Make it genuine, and show some creativity.</p>\n<p>Second, if you have the time and are willing to invest it in writing a serious cover letter (which I and many others request in our postings), there are a few more pointers to make it both effective and memorable (as opposed to ineffective and memorable, which I see all the time!):</p>\n<p>1. The salutation should read \"Dear Sir/Ma\'am:\" or something equally as gender neutral (Dear Hiring Coordinator, etc.), when you do not know the person\'s name or sex. I am amazed at how many letters starting with \"Dear Ms. Crossley:,\" I receive every time I post a job! I am a fairly liberal guy, and don\'t really take offense, but it doesn\'t really get things started off on the right foot to pop me in the side of the head with a \"Dear Ms.\" before I even get to read your letter! I know Thailand is the place for sex changes - but let me decide when and if I am ready, don\'t do it for me, ok?</p>\n<p>2. The letter itself should be relatively short and to the point. I would suggest no more than 3-5 paragraphs. The first paragraph notes your interest in the specific school and specific job listed, and reinforces that your qualifications meet the qualifications sought by the employer. Here is a short example:</p>\n<p>\"Dear Sir/Ma\'am:</p>\n<p>I write to express my interest in the M.4 English teaching position listed on Ajarn.com. I am a native-speaker of English from Canada, with two years of teaching experience in Asia. I am now based in Thailand and seek a challenging position at a school such as yours. I hold a B.A. in History from the University of Ottawa, and have recently completed a TEFL course. Thus, I am confident that I more than satisfy the requirements listed for the position. Your advertisement sparked great interest because I enjoy teaching at the M.4-M.6 level, and would prefer to be in a school like Potisarnpittayakorn, where teachers have ample support to carry out their work.\"</p>\n<p>3. The meat of the letter in the most important. The second, and sometimes third and fourth, paragraphs are the BEEF. They should NOT simply restate what is on your resume. I can read your resume if I want that. Instead, an effective cover letter ties your experience to your suitability for the position listed. So, when you sit down to write the letter, look closely at the ad, or think a bit about what the position entails if the ad doesn\'t provide adequate detail. For example, take an actual cover letter I got that reads:</p>\n<p>\"I spent two years teaching in Korea and a year in Japan, so I am familiar with Asian students.\"</p>\n<p>Sorry...ineffective, and as we who teach in Thailand know, just plain wrong. A better sentence would be:</p>\n<p>\"I have spent two years teaching students in the same age group as the students at your school, and my interactive and creative teaching style suits this age group well.\"</p>\n<p>I could spend a lot more time on this point, but I hope you get the idea.</p>\n<p>Also, please use this portion of the cover letter to explain motivation for seeking the job and to clarify any concerns that arise from your resume. If you just left a lucrative international school and are applying for a job with half the salary, tell the prospective employer why. And if you have gaps in your resume, or have switched jobs a dozen times, explain why!</p>\n<p>4. The penultimate paragraph should ask any relevant questions you may have that were not addressed in the advertisement. DO NOT ask things that were covered in the posting! Again, I am amazed by how many people say in their cover letter, \"Could you please tell me some more about the job?\" Sure, but I would rather tell someone who read the ad and knows specifically what to ask!</p>\n<p>My ads tend to be quite detailed, so this especially annoying for me. Still, I am sure most of us can fashion a better question that this. For example, how about asking whether a curriculum is in place, whether textbooks are provided to each student, or whether there is a Thai coordinator in each class? Think of a serious question or two to show you care about the environment you seek to work in!</p>\n<p>5. The last paragraph is the summation and the closing. Short but sweet. Reiterate your strong interest and qualifications for the job. Express your availability (at the EMPLOYER\'S CONVENIENCE!) for an interview. Thank the reader for his or her consideration and let them know you are looking forward to hearing from them (and by what means you prefer they contact you). Simple...here\'s an example:</p>\n<p>\"Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. I am eager to meet with you to discuss this position, as I believe I would be an asset to your teaching team and would enjoy working at Potisarnpittayakorn School. I am available to further discuss my qualifications and availability at your convenience and can be most easily contacted by mobile phone at 0X-XXX-XXXX. I look forward to your call.\"</p>\n<p>Ok that\'s about it for this month. Cover letters seem to be extremely difficult for many people, but I hope the tips above help out! Remember, it\'s the cover letter than connects the resume to the position offered, and makes you stand out in a pack of viable teaching candidates. It\'s a chance to show your skills in the English language (or lack thereof, so be careful), and to make an early impression on the prospective employer.

In my opinion, that makes you about as bad as they get. You are cheating yourself, and worse, lying to people - usually children -- you are supposed to be educating. I am not saying a degree makes people good teachers, but lying and saying you have one when you really do not, by definition, makes you a no good liar who has no business educating our youth.</p>\n<p>(By the way, I am starting a network of English Program managers on the Thonburi side, and one of our primary areas of focus will be on falsified educational credentials. We probably won\'t make much of a dent, but we are going to try. Lying about your degree has a huge impact on all of us involved in the real pursuit of quality education, and any of us who take our roles as mentors and role models seriously ought to be concerned about it.)</p>\n<p>Anyway, to finish up on resumes, they should be neatly presented, well-organized into 5 main areas (Name/Address; Professional Experience; Education; Other Affiliations or Experience; Skills and Interests), and reflect only experiences related to the career track you are interested in. In other words, I really don\'t need to know you were a pizza delivery boy 12 years ago. And, cut out the career objectives! They go in the cover letter. Objectives or job goals on a resume became obsolete 15 years ago. Stop using them! They are unnecessary, as your goals are implied in your application for a specific job. Clarification of these goals, or amplification of how securing a job fits into your life plans, should be in the cover letter.</p>\n<p>Now, let\'s get to the nitty-gritty of setting up an interview. First, if you are seeking a job, you make yourself available whenever and wherever the EMPLOYER indicates it would be convenient to meet. If you have such a hectic schedule that you cannot work yourself into the employer\'s interview plans, then you are not showing sufficient interest in the job.</p>\n<p>Of course, the employer should be reasonable also. Too often, employers in Thailand ask you to come for an interview the next day at 8 AM, when you already have something scheduled. Declining hastily offered times is perfectly acceptable, but the organized employer will offer you ample advance warning and a variety of times to come for an interview, so to decline in such a case will often disqualify you for consideration.</p>\n<p>Once an interview is scheduled, KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENT! You put yourself in a bad light by canceling an interview, or even changing the time, unless you give ample notice and have a very good reason for doing so. Changing your appointment time with a prospective employer even once is unadvisable; do it twice and you have effectively killed your candidacy.</p>\n<p>Now, should you have to cancel or change the interview, notify the employer as soon as possible. Anyone who does any hiring in Thailand has had the all-too-common experience of waiting for someone to show up, and waiting, and waiting, and finally realizing you have been stood up. Needless to say, but this is the most unprofessional conduct in which a candidate for a job could engage. (It immediately disqualifies you for future consideration if you do it to me.) There is simply no viable reason, aside from death or major catastrophe, for missing an appointment time without calling the person you are supposed to meet.</p>\n<p>Now let\'s get real. I realize Thailand, with its traffic, rain, iffy taxi-drivers, confusing directions, and the like, is THE place for missing appointments. But we are also in a country where a used mobile phone costs 1000 baht and there are pay phones everywhere. There is, as I said, no reason not to make a call if you\'ll be late or miss the appointment entirely. Folks who cannot even do this really do themselves a disservice in a country where the foreign teaching community is really quite small, and where names get around. (The same is true for falsified degrees...your name will get around if you are caught...I have taken no less than half a dozen calls in the last 6 months from prospective employers about people who I know have fake degrees.)</p>\n<p>In the interest of full disclosure, I recently made an appointment with 4 candidates for 2 positions at my school - all at the same time and place...or so I thought. I met the four, and turned off my phone to take them off to my school. Oops! There were supposed to be 5! By the time I got to school, the fifth candidate had left me half a dozen messages to find out where I was, and it was too late for me to do anything but reschedule. He had gone a long way to be on time and at the right place (though as it turned out he was not really at the right place, but was a floor below where he was supposed to be, albeit in the correct building), and I was at fault for being unprofessional in that case. We are all human, and there are exceptions to every rule. But by and large, there is, for the third time, virtually no reason to miss or be late for an appointment for an interview without a phone call.</p>\n<p>As for getting places in Thailand - it is YOUR responsibility to find the way there. It is also your opportunity to show your confidence, your initiative, and your adaptability to a new environment. Take the opportunity and find your own way to the interview. There is nothing wrong with asking directions or bus numbers, and the employer should be able to help you with that information. Beyond that, it is up to you. I am amazed at how many people have asked me to meet them at Siam Square, a BTS stop, or even their hotel to take them to the school. (I do meet all my candidates at a local shopping mall to facilitate the process, but at your hotel, come on!) Employers do not have the time to do this, nor do they want to employ such a seemingly helpless candidate.</p>\n<p>Finally, to close the column on setting up the interview, I will address the issue of attire briefly. It is better to be overdressed than underdressed. Business attire for the first interview - ALWAYS! Remember the refrain about first impressions, because it\'s true. I remember at least a handful of times where a candidate showed up in shorts and sandals, and I can tell you, I never hired on of them.</p>\n<p>Alright, that\'s enough for this month. Happy job hunting!</p>\n</p>','','2005-09-01 11:48:15',1,'2005-09-01 11:48:15','2009-11-06 02:02:16'),(863,40,'The all important interview itself','the-all-important-interview-itself','How to perform well on the day','Interviews in Thailand seem to range from a Thai person simply checking to see if you have the right “look,” to more in-depth conversations between the candidate and one or two people responsible for hiring.

Having already reminded people they should be dressed professionally and show up on time, I\'ll move right into the interview process itself.\n<p>Interviews in Thailand seem to range from a Thai person simply checking to see if you have the right \"look,\" to more in-depth conversations between the candidate and one or two people responsible for hiring. I personally rarely spend less than an hour with a candidate for a job at my school, and often far longer. I figure an hour invested now, especially if the candidate doesn\'t impress me, is better than all the headaches that person might cause if I hired them blindly.</p>\n<p>When meeting those who will be asking you questions, say hello and greet them warmly. Shake their hand firmly if it is appropriate. Be prepared to offer them a copy of your resume and other materials you may have forwarded by e-mail. It never hurts to be over-prepared and have your diploma and passport with you too.</p>\n<p>The interview usually starts with a few questions from the interviewer. They range from why you came to Thailand, to how long you plan to be here, to why you decided to become a teacher. Try your best to answer these questions directly, and from the heart. Of course, if you came here because you had no degree, could not get a job in your country, and wanted an extended sex vacation, maybe a little fudging will be required. (Or maybe you should go home.) Most of us, though, can come up with some legitimate and respectable reasons for making the changes we made in our lives, and should be able to discern a reason or two we feel qualified to and interested in teaching.</p>\n<p>The interviewer, if they are at all experienced, will also try to find \"holes\" in your resume and find out what happened during those unexplained periods of time. Be prepared to answer questions about long gaps in employment, changing jobs frequently, lapses in educational information, etc. All such questions are fair game.</p>\n<p>Also, if you are expecting to avoid questions about your college/university experience, beware. At the most recent meeting of the newly created English Program Network of Thailand, which was founded by my school as a consortium of Thai schools who could work collaboratively on common issues, we spent a good amount of time discussing how to ferret out fake degrees. One easy way to do so is to ask about college experiences and see if the candidate has a reliable and confident recollection of his or her experiences. So don\'t be surprised to be asked about your favorite professor or class, or what kind of living arrangement you had at school, or anything else that will give the interviewer some clue as to the credibility of your candidacy.</p>\n<p>By the way, a few folks seem to be personally concerned that my concerns about fake degrees stem from them. In fact, a couple of those employees were decent in the classroom, and I am not really concerned about their ability to occasionally dupe all too desperate employers. If someone wants to engage in hypocrisy and deceit about their own education when they are applying for a position that involves teaching children how to be responsible, educated and upstanding citizens, that\'s an issue for their own conscience. I am simply committed to making sure that during the interview the candidate\'s credentials are adequately vetted and the interviewer feels comfortable with the veracity of the resume or CV. Surely, folks without degrees will still slip through the cracks, but at least the entire responsibility for the fraud is left with the so-called \"teacher\" if the candidate is forced to answer legitimate and fair questions about their educational credentials.</p>\n<p>Now back to the interview. When you are answering an employer\'s questions, be direct, clear and succinct. There is no need to ramble on for long periods of time. Clarify questions you don\'t understand so you don\'t miss the interviewers point entirely. And look the interviewer directly in the eyes when you speak. Nothing is more telling about a candidate than someone who furtively glances about the room while concocting contrived and useless responses to interview questions.</p>\n<p>Also, don\'t be cocky. Sure you are a farang in Thailand - and work is relatively easy to find. Too much confidence, though, is just as damaging as a total lack thereof. Be humble, polite and sure of yourself - without overdoing it.</p>\n<p>As the interview progresses, take notes mentally (or even on paper). Remembering what the interviewer is saying will help you towards the end of the interview, when you are asked if you have any questions. And, please, when asked if you have any questions, ask some! It is critical at that stage to demonstrate you have been listening and you care about the work environment you are interviewing to enter. Nothing is a bigger turn off to an interviewer than a candidate who sits like a stump on a log and cannot even think of two or three questions about what may be his future place of employment.</p>\n<p>When asking questions, be reasonable! Don\'t ask if salary advances are available before you even have a job offer, for example. It kind of turns an employer off...kind of. Remember, too, that you are in Thailand, so don\'t ask ridiculous questions like, \"Does the school allow students to make noise during lunch period while other classes are in session?\" Or, even better, \"are classes ever cancelled without notice?\" (Two actual questions I have heard from unsuccessful candidates.) Remember where you are, or you end up shooting yourself in the foot quite effectively. Furthermore, make sure your questions don\'t inordinately focus on holidays, salary and benefits. Save those types of questions for the \"acceptance conference,\" which I will write more about next time. Instead, at the interview, show an interest in the work, the resources, your future colleagues, and most importantly, the students you will possibly be teaching.</p>\n<p>Towards the end of the interview, make sure you ask for a tour of the school if it was not offered already. Look at the classrooms, the other teachers there, the resources, and the working conditions. Do people, especially the teachers, look happy? Is the office well-lit and comfortable? These small clues will be some indication of what\'s to come if you are offered, and accept, a job there.</p>\n<p>In Thailand, it seems to be the custom to make an offer at the end of the interview. I personally never do this, as I usually have several candidates to talk to and I believe in taking time to reflect on the interviews I conduct. If, however, you are offered a job - DON\'T TAKE IT! (At least not immediately!) First of all, accepting immediately is a sign of desperation. Jobs are plentiful if you have your act together, so there is no hurry. If you believe the employer to be a good fit for you, simply express that and ask if you can have the afternoon to think it over, talk with some colleagues, etc. Tell the employer you will surely call them back within 24 hours, and do so - one way or the other. There is nothing unreasonable at all about taking a day to think a job offer over. In fact, it seems quite unreasonable not to!</p>\n<p>Also, a forgotten art is the thank you note. No, I am not saying run down to the local Hallmark (are there any here?) and buy some fancy note cards. Just a quick e-mail thanking the interviewer for his or her time, and expressing continued interest if that is the case, will do. It can tip an unsure interview in your favor...and it takes 2 minutes...so do it! (Just be careful not to send a thank you with lots of mistakes and typos, which could easily tip an unsure interview against you.)</p>\n<p>Next time, we\'ll discuss the etiquette of accepting or declining an offer. Lots of \"great\" experiences in this country with people who say one thing, then do another. That\'s farangs who accept jobs and agree to start dates - not Thais! For now, happy interviewing!</p>\n</p>','','2005-10-01 11:52:35',1,'2005-10-01 11:52:35','2009-11-06 02:02:37'),(864,40,'Ethics in interviewing and hiring','ethics-in-interviewing-and-hiring','An article that will press a few buttons','I will again reiterate that it is not my goal to blacklist all teacher “wanna-bes” in this country who either mistakenly or knowingly make a sad joke of the employment process at schools in this country.

','<p>This month\'s topic will likely press some buttons - ethical behavior in seeking and maintaining employment in the education sector in Thailand. After having interviewed another batch of prospective employees recently, and after year in and year out of other employers\' horror stories and personal experiences with employees that already accepted and started a job, I can conclude that a good grasp of ethics is pretty rare around here.\n<p>Before going directly into the issue, I will again reiterate that it is not my goal to blacklist all teacher \"wanna-bes\" in this country who either mistakenly or knowingly make a sad joke of the employment process at schools in this country. In fact, I am not even that concerned about those who knowingly do so, often repeatedly. My comments in this column are directed at those who care about ethics and honesty, not those who don\'t.</p>\n<p>Some of my previous employees still seem to believe that the comments herein are directed at them, and that I may even seek some retributive action against such individuals. Please be assured -- I do not spend my time in the past. I have far too much experience here to ever spend my time worrying about whether some schmuck that I already wasted time on months or years ago is out scamming some other school. Rather, my thoughts are here for those who are forward looking, and who seek to help improve the educational system in Thailand. If my words give one person some insight into why or how things could be done in a fairer, more honest, and more efficient way that truly enhances the ability of schools to educate their students, then I have accomplished what I set out to.</p>\n<p>That said, let\'s look directly at a couple examples of ethical and unethical behavior I have encountered in my time as an employer here:</p>\n<p>CASE 1: A middle-aged American male interviews for a position at a school, and by the close of the interview indicates that he would be more than willing to sign a contract with the school if a position is offered. A day or so later, the offer is made and the employee accepts, agree to come back to school in two days time to sign a contract. The employee also notifies the employer that he will need documentation to get a 90-day non-B visa as he will almost immediately upon signing the contract be leaving Thailand on a \"consulting\" job for a couple weeks.</p>\n<p>The employer (yes, silly me) prepares stacks of materials from books the teacher will be expected to use, the paperwork for a visa, the contract itself, and a variety of other materials and waits patiently for the 10 AM appointment at the school. 10:30 rolls around and giving the prospective employee the benefit of the doubt for having been presentable and appearing professional at the interview, the employer (me again) calls the employee. The phone rings and rings, but there is no answer.</p>\n<p>30 minutes later, after a couple of SMS messages to the now less attractive employee, the employer begins to feel a bit discouraged. After having turned down 3 or 4 other decent candidates for the job, and now having done lots of prep work to help this individual hit the ground running, the employer begins to wonder if he has just wasted his time again. Again, as it is Thailand and we can all get away with far too much, the employer grasps at the possibility that perhaps the phone was lost, the taxi took the wrong way, the employee forgot to bring the school number to call from a pay phone if late, and that he in fact will be at school sometime that day. Trying to convince himself this could be the case, the employer says nothing to anyone and leaves the materials ready for the employee to pick up at a moment\'s notice.</p>\n<p>Of course, hours pass and the employee never shows up. The employer goes home dejected again, only to receive an SMS about 10 PM that night from the once respected prospective teacher that says, simply, \"Sorry things did not work out.\" Hmm...mind boggling professionalism.</p>\n<p>CASE 2: A prospective employee interviews at the school, and after the employer has interviewed a few other viable candidates, he calls this twenty-something year old woman to offer her a job. She accepts wholeheartedly, and as the employer asks, sends a formal agreement letter by e-mail back to him a day or so after that. She then trades various e-mails with the employer over the course of two or three weeks leading up to the start date, all still evincing a strong desire to be employed by the school and be a stellar employee.</p>\n<p>About a week before the start date, the employer takes the employee out to lunch with a few of her future colleagues. An innocuous enough occasion, one would think. There is again nothing but positive discussion about the terms and conditions of employment and the young woman leaves promising to see the employer \"bright and early\" on the appointed start date.</p>\n<p>The date approaches and unwittingly, the employer checks his school e-mail. A bad decision. The first e-mail he reads is from this seemingly talented and professional young woman, and again the employer is to realize the error of his ways in actually believing people to be honest and sincere. The e-mail explains that due to family circumstances -- blah blah blah -- the employee will not be able to start on the agreed to date. Fair enough, but reading on, the employee then expresses doubt about her suitability for the position - weeks after interviewing, sending an acceptance letter, joining her new colleagues for lunch, and leaving 3 or 4 other qualified candidates to search for other jobs after having been rejected by this school, while this young woman clearly made up and changed her mind over and over again.</p>\n<p><br />I could, unfortunately, tell 100 more stories like these of my own. I could call any employer and get thousands more. What is it that gives people the idea that lying, equivocating without sincerity or openness, and downright wasting people\'s time is ok? Are these the same people that take money others\' dropped, take towels from the hotel, or keep undue extra change when a sales clerk makes a mistake and just rationalizes it by saying \"It\'s part of the game.\" I am afraid that is probably the case.</p>\n<p>Now, I am of course making judgments without a lot of real information from those whose acts of underwhelming professionalism I refer to above. Perhaps there were some serious and legitimate reasons for the actions they took. More than likely, however, they were simply cowards who took the easy and convenient way out, just like so many other job seekers in the educational field here in Thailand. In all likelihood, they got a better offer, woke up drunk that morning, got a Western Union from mom to keep them afloat for a few more weeks, decided the commute was too much, stayed up too late the night before watching their favorite go-go dancers, or whatever else.</p>\n<p>The unethical behavior, unfortunately, doesn\'t end at the pre-contract signing stage. Some folks who seem to be able to pull things together for an interview and even get to the point of signing a contract and getting to work can\'t keep up the ruse very long after that. Sooner or later, everyone\'s true colors are revealed. Ethics, inherently, are about self-respect. Those who respect themselves want to keep it that way. Those who falsely convince themselves that their unethical behavior is just the \"way things are,\" have already accepted their own perceived lack of value worth and are out to play the game fast and loose. Whatever they can get away with, they will.</p>\n<p>The effect of all this? Tremendously damage to us all. Millions of hours wasted in this process/game, costing employees and employers, and ultimately our students, the efficiency and integrity they could all benefit greatly from. Responsible peoples\' lives are affected as they have to scramble to cover for those who could not carry their side of the deal. Children are short-changed, other qualified candidates are rejected for jobs they would have done better at than the bloke who outwitted the employer, and most importantly, the whole interviewing process shifts to one of distrust and uncertainty. As such, prospective employees who are ethical are left to prove themselves because of the selfish and immoral acts of others.</p>\n<p>In fact, though it may not sound like it, there are a whole lot of good, honest and sincere people in this country. I have a staff of 24 teachers now who I have grown to trust and respect. But, as with most circumstances, the few bad seeds all too often win out over the vast majority of respectable folks out there and poison the system for all of us. This means, sadly, that I now have to grow to trust and respect people I hire, rather than affording them respect until someone proves unworthy. That is the wrong way to work things, but it is unavoidable as long as people continue to rationalize completely unethical and unprofessional behavior in our field.</p>\n<p>Again, I will close by saying that these words are meant to give people something to think about as they look forward, not to cast stones about past conduct. We all have a new opportunity every day to do what is right. I hope that those who read this entirely too long column this month will pause and think about how they want to move forward in this process of job hunting. And I hope the will remember that the job they are hunting for is as teacher, mentor, and role-model - which I argue makes unethical conduct here a bit more destructive from taking that towel at the hotel you stayed at the night before.</p>\n</p>','','2005-11-01 12:55:09',1,'2005-11-01 12:55:09','2009-11-06 02:02:10'),(865,40,'Making your mark','making-your-mark','How to \'get along\' with your school','We have discussed the lead up to the job, so now let’s talk a bit about what a teacher can do at work to merit a passing grade or better with his or her students, colleagues and the administration','<p>We have discussed the lead up to the job, so now let\'s talk a bit about what a teacher can do at work to merit a passing grade or better with his or her students, colleagues and the administration.</p>\n<p>All too often teachers in Thailand think once their in, they can relax, but the first few months on the job are when the real work starts. Here are some pointers:</p>\n<p>First, make a good initial impression. You have three main audiences to win over, and none of them are going to be pleased by the same thing, so this can be a bit tricky. Still, it is far from difficult to accomplish.</p>\n<p>Here are some pointers with each constituent group, starting with the least important and moving towards the most important:</p>\n<h3>Administration:</h3>\n<p>I list the administration as least important, even though I am personally an administrator, because I know I do not make probation or employment decisions based on how I feel about a teacher.</p>\n<p>Of course, I only hire teachers I think I\'ll like, but after that, how I feel about them is far less important. What matters more is what the students think, what their Thai colleagues think, and what their foreign teacher colleagues think about them</p>\n<p>Thus, pleasing administration is really about pleasing students and other teachers.</p>\n<p>All you really need to actively do to make the administration happy at most Thai schools is be on time, dress appropriately, show up for your classes within a minute or two of the bell, and teach what you are supposed to teach. This is not really all that hard, except perhaps the latter which sometimes remains a mystery at Thai schools!</p>\n<p>One other suggestion - try not to cut out of the office every day as early as possible. Make yourself visible, hang around a bit, and ask administrators if there is anything you can help with. Go to a few voluntary school functions! These small things will leave a lasting impression and move your career forward quickly in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Colleagues:</h3>\n<p>Next most important to keep happy are your Thai and foreign colleagues.</p>\n<p>For the Thais, much of what I spoke about relating to keeping the administration is also true for Thai colleagues. They want to see a timely, well-dressed foreign teacher. But, they expect a bit more.</p>\n<p>Make sure your lessons are prepared and that you don\'t spend too much time shuffling papers or blatantly killing periods with useless activities like word finds for example. Try to ask Thai teachers for feedback - they appreciate being consulted. And smile and be polite to them when you see them.</p>\n<p>Offer to pay for their noodles now and them too, remember they usually make 1/3rd of what you do! The gesture will be appreciated, as will some fruit for those you work closely with at New Year\'s time!</p>\n<p>For your foreign teaching colleagues, much of the same is true. More specifically, though, be supportive of them in their work.</p>\n<p>Ask their opinion of what to do in problem situations, offer to give them a hand if they are preparing an activity for class, and just be there for them. Not in their face - we all need distance - but be ready to lend a hand or share some ideas when appropriate.</p>\n<h3>Students:</h3>\n<p>Students are your key audience. If students are happy, teachers and administrators will also be happy.</p>\n<p>To keep students happy, keep your lessons active and varied, treat them with respect, and give them positive feedback on your work. Sure, there are other things, but I find the most popular teachers do these things most often.</p>\n<p>Students don\'t mind being given homework, for example, unless you are going to be yet another foreign teacher who never marks it.</p>\n<p>Develop a relationship of respect with your students, learn their names, and treat them as human beings. Don\'t shout at them, make fun of, or berate them. Remember you have no idea what they went through the period before you got to class or the day before at home, and they are children, so take it easy and be understanding and nurturing.</p>\n<p>None of this is rocket science. I just wanted to remind people that just landing a job does not mean you have to quit being conscientious, polite and professional. That is a daily part of the job from start to finish that far too many foreign teachers leave at the doorstep after they take a job.</p>\n<p>The result is often a very poor impression of foreigners, and an early exit from that great job you were so excited about just weeks or months before.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-10-22 00:01:39',1,'2015-10-22 00:01:39','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(866,40,'The screening process','the-screening-process','How I select teachers to work at my school','First, I run a detailed and thorough advertisement on ajarn.com and a few other Thai web sites. I do not advertise outside of Thailand, as I do not accept applications from abroad. ','<p>For this month\'s column, I\'d thought I\'d give folks a bit of an insight into how I screen and select applicants for interviews and job offers. Admittedly, as I manage the selection of interviewees and selection of new teachers fairly autonomously at my school, this process will be somewhat unique. Nonetheless, I share it with my readers in the hopes that some parts of it may be useful in terms of improving your chances to secure the job you are seeking. It may also help folks who are developing or managing programs that utilize foreign teachers in their hiring process.\n<p>Let\'s go through the process step-by-step:</p>\n<p>First, I run a detailed and thorough advertisement on ajarn.com and a few other Thai web sites. I do not advertise outside of Thailand, as I do not accept applications from abroad. There are, surprisingly enough, a sufficient number of locally-based foreign teachers from which to hire. The complications of telephone interviews to other countries is simply more than I am willing to engage in, and in my experience hiring by phone in the States, is often an insufficient way to assess candidates\' interpersonal skills.</p>\n<p>Next, I begin screening applicants within 24 hours of the time the job is posted. Normally, I get 70-100 applications within the first day, so it is important to stay on top of the game. (The last positing I put on Ajarn.com generated 370 applications in 10 days, so it is important not to fall behind.)</p>\n<p>Even though I list basic requirements to be considered, I try to at least glance at every applicant\'s resume even if they do not meet the exact specifications in my posting. Thus, while I am hesitant to say so because it adds tremendously to the screener\'s work load, it is usually a reasonably good idea to apply for a job you are interested in even if you may not have every one of the minimum qualifications requested.</p>\n<p>After the initial reading, I sort applicants into three categories and many sub-categories:</p>\n<p>1) Native English-speakers are divided into teaching subjects. This past round, I looked for Math, Social Studies, Drama &amp; Music, and Computer teachers, so those were the four sub-categories. Teachers who can teach any of these subjects are sorted into that subcategory, even if they also could teach English. A fifth sub-categories for English teachers only.</p>\n<p>2) Non-native English-speakers are divided the same way as native speakers. I keep these resumes aside, however, as I look first for native speakers to fill my teaching slots. If I have a paucity of applications in any one teaching subcategory, I will look more closely at the qualifications of the non-native speakers who have applied. Should I need a math teacher, for example, and have only one or two native-speaking applicants, I will move all the non-native applicants in this category to the appropriate native-speaker folder. I never consider non-native speakers to teach courses in the subject of English, but I will hire non-native speakers for specialized areas of teaching such as those noted above.</p>\n<p>3) Non-local applicants are put into a third category and sent a short e-mail explaining that I do not hire from abroad, and that they should re-apply when or if they reach Thailand.</p>\n<p>Now, as a next step, before inviting anyone for an interview, I go through the entire collection of resumes before me with a fine tooth comb. I eliminate people very quickly who send resumes with multiple typos or mistakes, cover letters of one or two sentences or those electronically generated by Ajarn.com (I ask specifically for a thorough and thoughtful cover letter in my ads), applications with 5 or 6 attachments that I did not request, or blind applications that clearly are not tied to the specific positions I have listed at MY SCHOOL. For example, a cover letter that is well-written but closes by telling me that the candidate really would like to work for my \"company\" or teach \"kindergarten\" at our Mathayom school is an immediate indication that the individual applying has not done his or her homework before applying to my school. Such an application would be an immediate reason to use the \"DELETE\" button on my keyboard.</p>\n<p>I also eliminate applications from people who make religious references to their lord or god, send me Buddhist sayings, lash into the Thai educational system or the Thai way of life, or otherwise invoke religion, politics or cultural critique in their initial correspondence. I may ask a person about their views on education in Thailand at the interview, but a written job application is not the editorial page of a newspaper, and I do not have the time to interview or work with someone who steps on a soap box of any kind before they have visited my school or met me or any of our other teaching staff.</p>\n<p>Then I carefully consider the following qualifications, listed in the order of importance I assign them:</p>\n<p>a. Minimum educational qualifications (must have a B.A. from a school I can find a credible website for on the Internet or the candidate is disqualified from consideration)<br />b. Teaching experience in Thailand (shows ability to handle the conditions we face as foreign teachers in this country)<br />c. Teaching experience abroad (shows a commitment to and interest in the profession, and an opportunity to practice skills that would be used at our school, even if in another cultural context)<br />d. Advanced or specific educational credentials (M.A. or PH.D. in any field, bachelors degree in education, or CELTA, DELTA, TESOL, TEFL, etc.)<br />e. Other skills and experiences (music, drama, computers, first aid, counseling, etc.)</p>\n<p>Lists of recommenders, career goals, work experience at retail stores or as a newspaper boy, etc, are not at all relevant. I barely notice them. What is important is the experience and training you have had that is directly applicable to teaching my students.</p>\n<p>Finally, I make the first cut. Usually, I eliminate 85% of all applications through the steps listed above. Thus, from the 370 applications I received this time around, I ultimately selected 39 for interviews.</p>\n<p>Next month, I will go more into depth about the process of setting up an interview and why I do it the way I do, how I view pre-interview communications (e-mail and telephonic), how I manage and what I look for at interviews, what comments or behaviors by candidates result in immediate disqualification, and what a successful applicant for a job at my school looks like.</p>\n<p>Happy job hunting! Hope this is of some help!</p>\n</p>','','2006-03-02 13:09:08',1,'2006-03-02 13:09:08','2009-11-06 03:03:09'),(867,40,'Hubris vs humility at the helm','hubris-vs-humility-at-the-helm','Why I decided that enough was enough','The Thai members of staff to whom I regularly voiced my concerns about the very visible slowing, sometimes even reverse pace, of the program’s progress, always said give it time.

I have been unable to submit a regular career counseling column for the last 3 months, due to major changes at my school. As head of the English Programs, managing 24 full-time foreign and 5 part-time Thai teachers, work can take control of one\'s life quite easily. I apologize for not writing more frequently, especially since my last column was entitled \"The Teacher-Applicant Screening Process, Part I.\"\n<p>Several people have written to ask when I will be writing the second installment of that column, but it will have to wait a bit longer. For this month, I am taking a detour to discuss my recent resignation from my past employer, where I was Senior Coordinator of the English Programs for nearly 3 years. I have read and heard several unsubstantiated rumors, so I will try to use my space on Ajarn.com to set the record straight.</p>\n<p>I started this column to give people career advice, as I came to Thailand with more than a decade of career counseling experience at New York University School of Law and American University Washington College of Law. Given this purpose, I will attempt to keep my comments regarding my school and my decision to leave on topic. My goal in writing about this experience is to give people a framework for making career decisions, and to raise some issues folks should be on the lookout for when deciding where to sign their next contract.</p>\n<p>I write, of course, about my decision-making framework and no one else\'s. I do not pretend that everyone has the same goals or ethics that I do, nor does everyone have the financial freedom allowed by being a single male who had a solid professional career before coming to Thailand. Everyone needs to evaluate career decisions based upon the entirety of the circumstances they face. My overriding concern when looking at my career options is whether a given workplace allows me to make a valuable and constructive contribution to the teachers I work most closely with and the students I am responsible for.</p>\n<p>For nearly 2 &frac12; years, the school afforded me the incredible and rare opportunity to do just that - on a daily basis. I went to school every day with energy in my step, and on a natural serotonin high because I could literally feel the progress we made every day. In just 30 months, I saw a program that was in shambles, poorly organized, and frankly doing a disservice to our students feebly stand, gradually gain its footing, begin to walk forward, and then to run at a steady pace.</p>\n<p>To put the turnaround in perspective, we went from a 250% turnover rate in my first term at the school, while using agencies, to a less than 20% turnover rate by the last full term I was at the school. Students enrolling in the program were more and more qualified. Resources, from the library to the technology available to us, were plentiful and well-chosen. The annual budget went from 4 million THB to more than 40 Million THB per year. Foreign teachers, including myself and my two assistant coordinators, were respected and TRUSTED. The quality of the teaching staff got better and better as salaries and benefits improved, and as we all took it upon ourselves to make decisions to improve the program rather than just to win an argument, save some money, or get out of work as early as possible. Most importantly, senior level Thai administration at the school made an effort to understand the cultural differences between us and use these differences as opportunities to learn and grow, and we all worked to compromise. These are the main factors, I believe, that set us apart from other schools.</p>\n<p>So, with such a wonderful experience over 2.5 years, why did I decide to leave? First and foremost, because of the nonsensical policies of the Thai Ministry of Education. For example, in May and June of 2005, the school lost not one, not two, not three, but all four of its deputy directors. 6 months later, the school\'s director was replaced. All five of these people were given two weeks to pack up and report to new schools.</p>\n<p>These were four deputy directors and a director who worked together to start the English Programs and supported our work over time. Together they developed a plan for an English program, and worked with me to adapt and strengthen it as we gained knowledge and wisdom. Together, our team of six, plus a number of talented and committed Thai and foreign teachers, built what I believe to have been the most unique and progressive English program in Thailand. We developed a Visiting Scholars program, a peer observation program, a professional development program, a global studies program, a curriculum that was supported by a well-researched and painstakingly developed understanding of the differences in Thai and Western teaching styles and educational goals, honors and foundations courses to assist the weakest and build the strengths of the strongest students, special classes in Study Skills, Drama &amp; Music and Debate, and much, much more. Together, we accomplished more in two years than I every dreamed possible in any country, let alone in a bureaucratic environment of a government school.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, these were four deputy directors and a director who understood -- because of experience over time -- how to work with foreign teachers and a foreign managed department. These were four deputy directors and a director who had made mistakes and learned from them. These were four deputy directors and a director who TRUSTED foreign staff as if they were Thai nationals, and treated us as equals in terms of respect and courtesy.</p>\n<p>When the senior administration changed wholesale (not a single member of the senior team that started the English program was allowed to stay), things began to slow down again. Gradually, our run became a slow walk. Then we knelt down to crawl again. Soon, I felt even the pace of the crawl slowing, and often we seemed to be standing still. Sometimes, decisions were made due to lack of insight and experience that headed us backwards rather than forwards. Decision-making authority was transferred to people who did not speak English, who did not trust foreigners, who did not have experience managing English programs. Decision-making authority was wrested away, for all practical purposes, from the foreign teachers, and handed to Thai staff with little or no experience in such endeavors, let alone the ability to communicate with us about what was happening and why, or ask our opinions and understand what we had to offer. In short, we became a rather typical Thai school trying to manage an English program in a very, very short time.</p>\n<p>The Thai members of staff to whom I regularly voiced my concerns about the very visible slowing, sometimes even reverse pace, of the program\'s progress, always said give it time. So I did. For a year, from the time our four deputies were very ceremoniously replaced, I waited and hoped something good would happen. When the director was replaced 6 months later, I waited and hoped the new director would bring a clear, progressive vision to the school. For a short time, I was heartened by his words - he told me he would continue the programs management as the prior director had with no major changes, time and time again. Gradually though, everything changed. The management of the program expanded to include more and more non-English speaking Thai teachers. Decisions were shifted to committees, making it easy not to take responsibility for mistakes or bad decisions.</p>\n<p>Regularly, cultural differences were blamed for the problems that began to swallow my energy and passion for my job. At more than half a dozen meetings with the director, I asked him to stop blaming cultural differences for poor management. He promised things would get better. Perhaps they will during his tenure, but as long as people look for excuses and shift blame nothing will improve, at this school or in any environment where there are problems. And that is just about everywhere, right? People must accept responsibility for their errors, and learn from their mistakes.</p>\n<p>Certainly, I made more than my fair share of mistakes while at the school. One thing I took way too long to learn was that direct confrontation in this society has a very limited role -- if it is going to be constructive. I am, after all, a lawyer trained in NYC. So some of it has become almost innate to me. And, I still believe directly addressing and dealing with issues and problems is the best way to handle serious concerns, but I probably wasted far too much energy on small issues in a confrontational way than I needed to, and burned bridges with Thai staff as a result. If I were to do things over again, this is the primary change I would make in how I handled most day-to-day problems. I would have let more small things go, and focused my energies on the larger issues</p>\n<p>I would urge foreign folks teaching and managing at schools in Thailand to do the same. Remember your ultimate goals, and keep small problems and disagreements in perspective. Don\'t let the energy you spend on things that ultimately don\'t make a huge difference engulf you and leave you unprepared for the real important battles. Having said that, I would still and will still fight those significant battles in a direct and honest way - I would just be more careful about how I chose the battles to engage in.</p>\n<p>In closing, I left the school because I lost passion for what I was doing. I did not have the energy to re-educate 5 senior staff members, or sit patiently and learn enough about each of them and their motivations and styles to mold my own strategies to be more effective under their administration. External circumstances, largely related to bureaucratic decisions beyond my control about who would lead the school for the next few years, created a vacuum in experience at the helm.</p>\n<p>Rather than humility, and an eagerness to learn from one another, all of us at the helm, including every one of the new senior staff members (and myself in many regards) decided to dig themselves into a bunker and do things the way they did before. Not a single senior staff member sincerely took the time and energy to try new approaches to new problems - they simply tried to solve things in a cookie cutter fashion that won\'t work with a new and progressive environment that has been moving forward at a remarkable pace for several years. Hubris took hold at the top, and people decided it would be done their way or not at all.</p>\n<p>The real moral of the story here is that you cannot teach a child to run, supporting him as he first stands then walks then begins to sprint, and then tell him to crawl backwards for miles and expect him to do so willingly and happily. When the Ministry of Education changes all five of the top decision-makers at a school in a compact period of time, and replaces them with people who have no experience rearing this type of child or training in coaching track and field in an international environment, things are bound to come apart. I sincerely question the motives of a wholesale change in power structure and leadership at a place where things are going so well. It\'s as if people somewhere were afraid of an up-and-comer, a new way of doing things, and it was time to throw some severe road blocks in the way.</p>\n<p>I asked a close Thai friend, a Yale-educated professor now teaching at a top Thai university, 3 years ago if he thought the power structure in leadership in certain areas of government were consciously making decisions to hold people back, because it so often appears to me that is what happening. I won\'t report his specific answer to that question, but I will tell you when that same friend was asked his opinion of Thai education at a cultural awareness program I conducted for teachers at the school just 3 months ago, he very bluntly said the system is ill. I would argue that the story of what happened at the school in the last year is a sure sign that the system is ill due to sabotage, not natural causes.</p>\n<p>Let me clearly say that I do not personally blame any one of the new administrators at the school for the problems the school is having. They are simply doing what they know how - forging ahead with their duties as required by their civil service commitments. They are but pawns, who just keep things moving around (largely in circles it seems) while someone somewhere else makes the decisions that keep lasting progress at bay.</p>\n<p>In fact, I hold no personal grudge against any one of the staff members at my old school - current or past. For at least 2 years, it was the most remarkable and rewarding job I have ever had, and that is pretty good!</p>\n<p>For the last year, I guess, I simply was in the process of learning again, for the umpteenth time, that powers greater than I and forces often unknown to me can very quickly change things for those of us who are just contracted employees in a foreign land. Even that knowledge I appreciate, as it will equip me to more effectively build structures, forge relationships, and make decisions to ensure that at some of the good I try to do in the world lasts beyond my tenure in any given place. At this school, I am confident I and the teachers I worked closely with did make a positive change, though the progress we made had far less profound reach than I wish it could have. Now, with more experience, I am poised to do things better next time - with more humility and less hubris. I hope that those at the helm of my former school can also be a bit introspective and do the same, in the interests of the nearly 30 colleagues and more than 1200 students I left behind when I resigned.</p>\n<p>Now I am comfortably settling back into the role of just teacher, with only the small added responsibility of managing the Gifted English Program, at a small Issan school. It is exactly the kind of change I needed for a while. I am quite pleased to be able to focus on making my difference in the world on a person-to-person level with my students, and not engaged in battles over culture and resources on a managerial level. I am also heartened to see at my new school a young and vibrant Thai teaching staff who seem eager to learn, ready to try new things, and disinclined to sit at the desk at the front of the room and ramble into a microphone.</p>\n<p>As much as I am concerned for the educational system here in Thailand, and the future of its youth, I am also regularly heartened by frequent experiences of great hope and promise for the system - both at my former school and here in Issan. Of course, I am now at a demonstration school that is highly selective in admitting students, but the dedication and passion of the students for learning here despite large classes and other concerns is amazing.</p>\n<p>What can job seekers take from my experience? Perhaps you can read through the lines above and begin to see some of the issues you should look for in your work environment or with an employer you are considering working for. Perhaps asking about the vision and experience of senior staff and where and how decisions are made would be useful, especially if you seek a managerial role. Of course, finding out about budgetary discretion and authority is paramount. Perhaps just hearing how someone goes from a job that is rewarding every day to a situation of frustration and dismay will provide some insight into building your own career and keeping things in perspective. Also, my ability to find new experiences that are challenging and help me re-dedicate myself to my goals should provide comfort to those who currently face frustrating employment situations. There are places out there that meet our needs and reward our perseverance, if we keep looking and know what questions to ask.</p>\n<p>Regardless, I hope that everyone takes from my story both a dose of hope and a pinch of reality as well. We can, as teachers and participants in this educational system, even if it is terribly ill, make a difference. We can make more of a lasting difference if we open our minds and set our sights on the attainable, and put the smaller nuisances aside whenever possible. And we can benefit greatly from being aware of our limited capacity to effectuate change in a world where so many people operate around us, with contrary agendas, personal vendettas, irrational fears, and shifting priorities. And this is not a story about Thailand, but of humanity at large.</p>\n<p>P.S. I have been made aware by some of my former colleagues of concerns that my remarks about my experience at this school will adversely affect them. I say here with all sincerity, that is not my goal nor do I believe that this article will have said effect. If it does, it is even further evidence of the danger of hubris that I refer to. To ameliorate the concerns, I have removed the name of the school from the article, though I doubt this will have much effect in concealing the identity of the school or those I refer to by position above.</p>\n<p>Let me state in closing that for anyone who works at this school, and for anyone who considers the possibility of doing so in the future, I am hopeful that the work we did over three years, and the remarkable talents of the foreign teachers we hired that are still there, will enable the program to continue to progress. I am sure that were the progress not so remarkable the first couple of years, I would not have felt the impact of the change in administration so profoundly. Perhaps it was that we were on such a steady course towards success that made the changes so obvious.</p>\n<p>Those who remain on or join the foreign staff at the school in the future may very well continue to find it a remarkable and progressive place to teach. It could be all a matter of perspective, and I will be the first to say my perspective is colored by my rather intense and unique experience. Others will certainly see things differently, and should always evaluate any and every career decision on the basis of their own priorities and experiences. Good luck to all.</p>\n<p>I will return to my column\'s specific focus on career counseling tips and techniques next month!

But I do miss the way that some of them made me feel.','<p>New research by British scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne suggests that drinking tea regularly could help improve your memory... but I can\'t remember the last time I had a cup of tea!\n<p>Well, reading that got me to thinking about other things that I had forgotten about since leaving my homeland permanently back in 1987. It was easier to come up with a list of things that I liked and missed. you know; Branston Pickle, Penguin bars and sausage rolls, etc. It was a bit harder to think of the things that I had forgotten about and no longer even cared for, but here are a few anyway:</p>\n<p>First off, tea! That great British institution that cures everything from the bad news on TV to having your GIRO arrive two days later than it should!</p>\n<p>Cricket and Beefy. When I lived in the UK cricket was played in white by every team and only a real fairy would wear a mask. Ian Botham was a hero to every schoolboy. Apart from being the most enigmatic cricketer the world has ever known he also managed to balance raising millions of pounds for leukemia patients with smoking cannabis in public!</p>\n<p>My favourite wrestlers; Mick McManus, Billy Two-Rivers (and his \'Tomahawk chop\'), Masambula (the African Witch Doctor!) and who can ever forget those tag teaming twits; The Royal Brothers who had different surnames - Bert Royal and Vic Faulkner!</p>\n<p>I don\'t miss the freezing cold weather of Britain, nor the people living in it. Back in the sixties (before we had a fridge) we kids would put a few cups of water outside the back door at night and eat the ice the next day. No gameboy back then! Watching old people fight their way uphill with their two-wheeled tartan shopping baskets wearing fifty years of misery and icy drudgery carved into their faces was a depressing thing to grow up with. England is a gloomy grey country in every single way imaginable.</p>\n<p>\"Hands on your heads!\" at school - for hours on end! Actually, school was cool. The smell of the lunch canteen was a mixture of hot paint from the overheated (and over painted) cast iron radiators to suet pudding! British Bulldog was played with pedantic fairness and the boys NEVER hit the girls. The matron had big tits and the girl that fancied me didn\'t have any!</p>\n<p>It seemed that each season of the year had its own activities. There was cart-making, newspaper collecting, playing marbles and carol singing. We\'d go down to the \'pitch and putt\' course and offer to \'caddy\' for sixpence, then spend the money on chocolate liquers to taste the rum inside them which we all said was fantastic, but which I suspect we all equally hated!</p>\n<p>\"Carry On\" movies. Mention the names of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques and you need go no further. Everyone recognised the stars of those saucy Carry On films. From the first one (Carry On Sergeant, in 1958) the humour was unsubtle, slapstick and sometimes even a bit blue, but I remember when producer Peter Rogers said \"We\'re vulgar, but never crude\". Mum and Dad agreed, and the films were strangely a family institution.</p>\n<p>Well, I didn\'t mean for this first essay to become maudlin or even nostalgic. I don\'t miss these things really. But I do miss the way that some of them made me feel... The uncontrollable laughter watching Norman Wisdom bark out orders to a troop of soldiers from his hole in the ground, driving the fuming and confused Sergeant Major crazy. I wet myself watching that! The anticipation of Christmas day when the Queen would blather on and on through the sound of my Scalextric set. The heartbreak of finding out that the girl who snogged me at lunchtime had chucked me at teatime for that cunt with the new Stevie Wonder LP, Innervisions! (of which at the time, I had none!) The frustration of walking to a pub, called \'The Bell in Tong\', for an hour in the freezing cold to be refused service because we were just three years under the legal age for drinking and my mum had phoned them to let them know we were coming! Bastards!</p>\n<p>In the sedate and more relaxed world that I am confined to in middle age, I don\'t get to feel these extremes of emotion too much anymore. Maybe the kids around me today have similar highs and lows, but I suspect that they don\'t. Life seems to be a numbed feeling of tedium for many kids. There was a period of time from the end of the second world war, when the welfare state was getting started, to about 1980, when the UK was really an \'island\' and a \'treasure island\' at that...</p>\n<p>But what do I know.

Anyone can do it, so if you are friendly, able and willing you\'ll be a success.</p>\n<p>Rather; this &lsquo;top ten\' list is more for how to most effectively succeed in your new teaching environment.</p>\n<p>It is in order of what I consider to be the most important, too!</p>\n<h3>1) ALWAYS Be On Time</h3>\n<p>Duh! (Well, you\'d think so wouldn\'t you?) Punctuality is very important in \'the land of smiles\', but it only is important if you are a \'farang\'! Weird, eh? If you are late, you will definitely NOT start out on the right foot with your colleagues and superiors.</p>\n<p>If you arrive after a class has begun which you are supposed to be teaching, you are placing yourself and your bosses in a very awkward situation.</p>\n<p>There is a horrific shortage of teachers in Thailand and abusing that situation by being late is the worst thing you can do if you really want to succeed at this new way to make beer coupons!</p>\n<h3>2) ALWAYS Dress Appropriately</h3>\n<p>Thailand is very much a &lsquo;style over substance\' orientated society. If you don\'t look like a teacher then you are not going to be an effective one.</p>\n<p>Many people disagree with me on this, but looking the part, I believe, is about half of everything you need to do outside of actually teaching the little rascals! As a teacher, you are a professional and you really should dress like a professional.</p>\n<p>Don\'t look at fellow Thai teachers for help on this. The male Thai teachers are often sloppy looking as well as sloppy in their teaching methods. Don\'t look toward your fellow farang comrades either. They may not have anything like the enthusiasm to do things in the classroom that you have.</p>\n<p>There is nothing wrong with over dressing during your classes. This is especially important if you are fairly young and feeling a bit of a fraud being called &lsquo;teeCHA\' for the first time in your life!</p>\n<p>Also, your dress lets EVERYONE know what your attitude is - from the girl that gives you your bowl of swill in the canteen at lunchtime to the vice principal who is reviewing who to sign on for the next round of contracts.</p>\n<p>Your appearance says something of your professionalism and dedication to what you do.</p>\n<h3>3) Be Flexible (most of the time!)</h3>\n<p>How do you react when the principal or head of department adds an extra couple of hours to your day without any notice? How do you feel about coming in early to do the gate duty and perform for the fee paying parents? What if your pay is a couple of days late?</p>\n<p>What if your so called new best mate got shitfaced last night and you have to combine your classes with his because he\'s watching CNN in his apartment nursing a hangover and the bird that you fancied about eight hours previously! Are you called in last minute to spend the weekend on a &lsquo;Youth Camp\' in the boonies somewhere when you had already made plans?</p>\n<p>It happens and a whole lot worse happens besides! But that doesn\'t mean you have to sign up and do everything that you are asked to do. No sir! In fact if you did you would be quickly chewed up and abused. Also you would be burned out in a few weeks!</p>\n<p>So - \"KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO!\"</p>\n<p>If something is no trouble, then by all means do it and get a few brownie points. But early in your career you must learn to say no and offer a sweet white lie as a reason why you can\'t do that extra unpaid something!</p>\n<p>You will be asked to teach the heads\' kids in your own time or transcribe the novel he or she is writing! You\'ll be asked to perform extra hours and duties when people are sick or lazy or they simply think you will say yes! Be flexible but learn when (and how) to say NO!</p>\n<h3>4) Follow the School Rules</h3>\n<p>This might seem obvious to you but it is very important in Thailand that you are not seen to break the (admittedly sometimes rather bewildering) school rules.</p>\n<p>If the campus is \'smoke-free\', do not light up during your lunch period. This is definitely not professional and would be a mark against you when it comes time for your review.</p>\n<p>Any Thai teacher with tenure can either be a powerful ally or a deadly enemy! They can screw you over on a whim or lie in your favor. Find out what the rules are if your not sure and if in doubt - don\'t! Should I really have to mention that boning or even touching a student is a bloody stupid thing to do? No? I thought not! Good - carry on, then!</p>\n<h3>5) Try to Plan Ahead</h3>\n<p>If you know you will need copies for your students, do not wait until half an hour before the lesson to get them done. Many schools have pedantic procedures that have be followed for copying to occur. That\'s if the copier is free to use when you want to use it. And that\'s if the copier is even working that day!</p>\n<p>If you don\'t follow the procedures or you don\'t plan for your classes in advance you will be stuck without a lesson and will probably look unprofessional to boot. Do you know that you are filling in for someone who is away? What are you going to be expected to do? Find out - it\'s worth it.</p>\n<p>Have you heard a teacher say that they are so good that they can &lsquo;wing it\' with no lesson plans? Well, if you haven\'t then you will! Don\'t listen to a word they say. They are crap teachers and you\'ll learn nothing from them.</p>\n<h3>6) Be Friendly with the Office Staff</h3>\n<p>This is an especially good idea if you hope to be extending your contract or even if you believe that you will be staying in the same area to teach. These people\'s opinions of you will have an impact on whether or not you are hired. They can also make your time during your first few months much easier to handle.</p>\n<p>Smile and say good morning to the office staff. Don\'t underestimate their worth. Bring them in a tin of cookies once a month. It\'s a very sound investment, especially when things go wrong (and they will) and you need their help!</p>\n<p>(Also a word to the wise about the canteen staff should get a mention here. It\'s amazing how big your portions can be when you know their names!)</p>\n<h3>7) Maintain Confidentiality</h3>\n<p>If you are writing notes about students or classroom experiences to turn in for grades, you should either not use their names or give them codenames to protect their identities. You never know who you are teaching or what their relationship might be to your fellow teachers and bosses.</p>\n<p>If you are privy to personal information about a student or teacher then keep it to yourself. For one thing the information that you have uncovered may be of dubious authenticity.</p>\n<h3>8) Don\'t Gossip</h3>\n<p>It might be tempting to hang out in the teacher lounge and indulge in gossip about fellow teachers over a coffee and some cake. DON\'T.</p>\n<p>Thai TEFLers are an odd (and sometimes dangerous) breed. Distance yourselves from the gossips and don\'t give too much information away about yourself to start with. You might say something you could regret later.</p>\n<p>In addition you might find out information that is untrue and clouds your judgment of other fellow teachers. You might even offend someone without realizing it.</p>\n<p>Rise above the gossip and stay away from the chit chat! Remember also; these are teachers you are working with now may soon be colleagues or even bosses of the future!</p>\n<h3>9) Be Professional with your Fellow Teachers</h3>\n<p>Do not interrupt other teachers\' classes without a genuinely good reason. You can easily disrupt the flow of a lesson.</p>\n<p>When you are speaking with colleagues (both Thai and farang and whether or not you personally approve or like them) treat them with respect. You can learn a lot from these teachers, and they will be much more likely to share with you if they feel that you are genuinely interested in them and their experiences.</p>\n<p>Offer to sit in and &lsquo;observe\' them. Many teachers don\'t like this intrusion, but some may let you share their secrets. You can pick the brains of people around you.</p>\n<p>Do in the classroom what you like seeing and remember not to do what you secretly disapprove of! This tactic has certainly helped me a lot more than any amount of &lsquo;education\' could have!</p>\n<h3>10) Don\'t Wait to the Last Minute to Call in Sick</h3>\n<p>You will probably get sick, hung-over or lazy at some point during your term and will need (or want) to stay at home for the day. Remember that your chums will have to take over the class during your absence. If you wait until the last minute to call in, this could leave them in an awkward bind making them look bad to the students. Call in as soon as you can!</p>\n<p>As a closing remark I would just like to add that if you do not want to be in the classroom then don\'t be. If you really want to be a good teacher and you are dreading your classes then change jobs or take a month off. You are burnt out!</p>\n<p>There are NO effective teachers in a classroom that do not want to be in there.</p>','','2016-07-20 03:00:47',1,'2016-07-20 03:00:47','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(870,41,'Good teachers or warm bodies?','good-teachers-or-warm-bodies','What do we deserve?','I’m guessing that at least one third of all TEFL teachers are underprepared, underqualified or lack any kind of training in their subject.

Well, it\'s not news really is it? Any recruiter in Thailand has been struggling with this quandry for years and there is nothing to indicate that this situation will get better during our tenures as teachers!</p>\n<p>And, as in the past, there are significantly worse problems for schools and students the further outside of the big Mango you go. In the high-income schools in and around the center of Bangkok there are more qualified and prepared teachers, but there is still a dreadful shortage in Thailand\'s state schools generally.</p>\n<p>I\'m guessing that at least one third of all TEFL teachers are underprepared, underqualified or lack any kind of training in their subject. Compounding the problem is the fact that government funding for teacher training/re-training is non-existent. In addition the enforcement of regulations controlling who can teach what and where is not upheld.</p>\n<p>But probably worst of all is the lack of any clear direction from the Ministry of Education to get things moving in the right direction and to enable Thai students to become educated and compete globally in the next 10, 20 or even 30 years.</p>\n<p>And there\'s more. The teachers that are here and are qualified and are willing are demanding much much more than they did a few short years back. It wasn\'t that long ago when you could secure the services of a reasonably competent and enthusiastic teacher for less than 30,000 Baht a month with an oral contract about as legally effective as the instructions on a shampoo bottle! With the explosion of expensive private schools, dual-language schools and demands for private tutors the rates of pay have risen dramatically. The contracts are iron clad and there are bonuses for attendance, achievement and completing the year sane! Rates are hovering around 100K for full time teachers and 1K an hour for the &lsquo;private\' instructors.</p>\n<p>If you think that this is a tad high in your experience then you are asleep at the wheel. If you think that you\'ll never be making this kind of money then you probably won\'t be! But people are. So what of the rest of the teachers who are happy with 40K a month or sometimes a lot less? Well here\'s what I think. If we gradually reduce teacher standards to keep classes staffed, the numbers can look good even as the quality of teaching sinks ever lower. So that is what is happening.</p>\n<p>What is our definition these days of a &lsquo;qualified\' teacher anyway? Is it that of a qualified degreed teacher - a teacher who has earned \"full teaching credentials\", which usually means completing several years of course work and student teaching and passing key tests? But if this is the case then we are still being too generous (and why would anyone like this come here to our friendly and sunny climes?)</p>\n<p>Licensure doesn\'t guarantee quality.</p>\n<p>The education authorities in Thailand (and the rest of Asia probably) could do a lot more to upgrade curricular requirements and start to implement testing and accountability programs. Is it not, after all, the function of an educational authority to ensure that their &lsquo;educators\' can educate to a certain degree of proficiency? Well, you would think so, but any new initiative by the MofE department is a glacial process. And usually a process that focuses on secondary initiatives, such as discipline and holidays, etc.</p>\n<p>Getting the best teachers may also mean offering well-qualified candidates more than just a fist full of travellers\' checks and round trip tickets home. Many of the ongoing concerns that teachers have are not in the classroom. It\'s the tedious Thai attention to irrelevent detail that bogs down teachers. The lack of goodwill to foreign staff and a lack of understanding of how they see things. Classroom sizes, teaching aids and assistant support are also concerns.</p>\n<p>English teachers teaching English should be teaching English the English way!</p>\n<p>In another sign that we\'re settling for too little, the school\'s grading systems seem to be built around the &lsquo;nobody fails\' method. This in effect means that the teacher is really not accountable for his performance anyway because at the end of the school year all the students are going to pass. So why put stops and checks in place at all?</p>\n<p>Make the class sizes smaller! That doesn\'t necessarily mean reducing class sizes across the board, but it ought to call for an examination of just where very small classes work and under what circumstances, and also where they don\'t.<br />Almost certainly, adequate resources, particularly in low performing schools, require better staffing levels - more help (and training) for principals, more counselors, librarians, reading specialists and yes of course the English teachers.</p>\n<p>These issues don\'t seem to be a popular talking point with fellow Thai colleagues, but it has to be in the picture for teaching to improve. Thais don\'t like being told how they can improve do they! Well, who does?<br />Anyway - to summarise; it is imperative that the Thai Ministry of Education figure out a way of getting genuinely good teachers into their schools and keeping them there.</p>\n<p>That can\'t be done just by increasing the supply of teachers and lowering the standards. It can\'t only be made to happen by handing out more money either. It has to be done by increasing the incentives teachers are increasingly demanding of their employers especially in the more needy schools outside of Bangkok - things like differential and overtime pay, better working conditions, smaller classes, better living accomodation, more support for teachers, more prep time, etc.</p>\n<p>But what may make the most difference in teacher quality (and we are a long long ways away from this!) is when principals in all schools can choose amongst five or six candidates for each teacher vacancy, and not be forced to accept the first warm body that floats into the interview office from Don Muang airport</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2005-01-01 15:01:16',1,'2005-01-01 15:01:16','2016-07-20 17:05:17'),(872,41,'Here is the news','here-is-the-news','as prepared by the Thailand Ministry of Open and Honest Government','In Education news - A British English teacher who had been fired for failing a student has been reinstated.

For them to show disdain for loud noise would be a sign of weakness. ','<p>There are two English language dailies in Thailand. Their \"Letters to the Editor\" columns each have at least one letter per week lamenting excessive noise. It is foreigners who write the letters - for two underlying reasons: (a) they\'re not encumbered by cultural restrictions on speaking out about discomfort, and (b) the noise is louder and more pervasive than what they hear in their home countries.</p>\n<p>To spend any time in Thailand, one must be inured to loud noise. To not be callused to noise would be akin to a stroll in a Yellowknife blizzard dressed only in pyjamas. Buddhist monks and their temples are also not exempted from loud noise. One may wonder how blasting pop songs from nearby shops or ads blaring from roving pick-up trucks affect their meditations.</p>\n<h3>\'Oversized boom boxes\'</h3>\n<p>Any shopping experience in Thailand is fraught with loud pop music and/or vehicle motor noise. No exceptions.</p>\n<p>Thai shopping malls are like oversized boom boxes with torn woofers and the treble turned up full. For added ambiance, imagine 7 different bubblegum pop songs played full tilt through too-small transistor radios. To add flavor to the mix, you\'re likely to also be assaulted by a young woman shouting about some discount via a Romper Room-era public address system.</p>\n<p>It\'s a similar story for bus trips, boat rides, restaurants, strolls on sidewalks, you name it. For anyone who isn\'t convinced, try this little experiment: phone someone in Thailand during the day. It\'s likely the phone on the receiving end will be drenched in noise.</p>\n<p>You\'re excused for thinking that such places as post offices and banks might be a source of refuge. Nope. As with Thai restaurants, TV rules.</p>\n<h3>An escape from the city? Not really</h3>\n<p>You may think that excessive noise is only in the cities. Not so. I moved to the countryside - a mile from major roads and waterways. It\'s better than the city, for sure, but growls of internal combustion engines and loudspeaker noise from outdoor festivals can often be heard.</p>\n<p>Then, there are neighbors. Of the mere three houses within a hundred meters of mine, guess how many often have radio noise blaring from open windows and doors? That\'s right, all. And my nearby little village has the required speakers strung up on power poles to blast away at all residents. Thankfully for me, the authorities have not run speaker wires up my corner of heaven. Not yet, anyway.</p>\n<p>Thailand relies on tourism to supply a major portion of its revenue. Offensive noise annoys tourists and lessens their probability of returning to Thailand - as well as colors the impressions they convey to others when they return home. More importantly, noise pollution lessens quality of life for Thais.</p>\n<h3>Plucking up courage</h3>\n<p>The sad part is; lessening noise pollution could be easy. It would not necessitate government expenditures. It would start with acknowledging that there are massive amounts of unnecessary noise. A follow-up step, though difficult for Thais, would be to have the courage to actually make a mention to shop/restaurant managers.</p>\n<p>A person doing that would have to put aside worries of possibly offending that manager. An extra dollop of courage would be needed to raise a concern to bus drivers, concert promoters, and drivers/procurers of roving advertisements, town headmen and such. In serious situations, police could be called upon to influence the situation - though authorities would likely chuckle while trying to explain the noise away.</p>\n<p>At the risk of sounding xenophobic..., what the heck, I\'ll say it: Thai people don\'t hear noise in the same manner as foreigners. Could it be that Thais have some sort of innate (spiritual?) ability to \'tune it out\'. More realistically, the reason is; Thai people \'bear it\'. For them to show disdain for loud noise would be a sign of weakness.</p>\n<p>Similarly, the main reason that no Thai person ever complains directly to the noise maker is the ingrained Asian penchant for \'saving face\'. There\'s the complainer\'s worry that he/she may lose face (be deemed a sissy or \'spoil-sport\') by raising a concern, but the more pressing is the worry that the person fielding the complaint will get offended.</p>\n<p>Asians are taught to be exceedingly polite. An example was given by one newspaper letter writer (a foreign tourist) who was stuck in a very hot train car for hours. The air conditioner was broken and the windows were clamped shut. Not one of the many Asians in the stifling car raised a voice of concern. Guess who finally did?</p>\n<h3>Polite requests</h3>\n<p>For a foreigner to lodge a complaint, language barrier can be a drag. Besides basic misunderstandings of the message trying to be conveyed, the foreigner won\'t likely possess the language skills to couch their concern in florid polite nesses.</p>\n<p>The Thai equivalents of \'would you be so kind as to.....\' or \'it has come to my attention that.....\' are not easy phrases to master. When a foreigner does make a complaint (in a less than perfectly courteous manner), there\'s the real possibility of the respondent getting annoyed or even lashing out in anger. This is more likely in regions where Thais have frequent contact with foreigners (\'familiarity breeds contempt\').</p>\n<p>Noise generation and how it affects others is a manifold issue. Below are perceptions garnered from residing on &amp; off in Thailand for a few years. The list gauges noise makers\' varied attitudes - ranked in order of likelihood. <br />A person generating loud noise will either...</p>\n<p>1. ....enjoy the high volume (most often bubblegum pop music) and assume that everyone else enjoys having it broadcast far and wide.</p>\n<p>2. ....be unaware or unconcerned that their noise may adversely affect others nearby.</p>\n<p>3. ....blast loud songs from their commercial establishment. It\'s been shown that loud pop music/sounds attract customers. Whether that music annoys others is a moot point when compared to possible gain in revenue.</p>\n<p>4. ....have a message to convey by loudspeaker. This can be advertisement for product or people (politicians), but it\'s got to be very loud. The hardware is usually horn-blower speakers which are either strung through every town and city in the country, or by way of pick-up trucks slowly cruising through town. Oh, and such messages cannot be spoken, they must be shouted and stuck completely \'in the red\' of the VU meter - distortion guaranteed.</p>\n<p>5. ....figure their vehicle has to be loud. That\'s just the way it is and if you don\'t like it, tough. For some, it\'s a measure of manliness. Such things as decent mufflers or insulated engine housings are for sissies.</p>\n<p>Addendum: Voicing a plea to \'please turn down the volume\' in any of the above situations will be met with slight annoyance at best. But there\'s also the possibility a benign complaint will elicit indifference, rudeness, anger or worse.</p>\n<h3>And where are the animals?</h3>\n<p>So far I\'ve only mentioning one species; Homo sapiens. However, animals suffer every bit as much, if not more from excessive noise. The elephant is Thailand\'s national symbol. A wild one has extremely sensitive hearing - able to hear low frequency sounds from great distances. Few elephants in Thailand are wild, whereas most are taken to urban environments (to display for tourists), so you can bet their hearing is at least damaged, and painful hearing is probably common.</p>\n<p>I\'ve hiked &amp; biked a bit of countryside in Thailand - mostly in the suburban areas of Bangkok. I\'ve also paddled down stretches of rivers and explored beaches in the southern part of the country. Sightings of wild mammals have been nearly nil.</p>\n<p>In a country where a plethora of wild mammals once roamed, you\'ll be lucky to see a little brown squirrel once in a blue moon. Large reptiles have fared little better. Does anyone doubt that noise pollution has played a significant role in scaring away what few wild animals still exist?</p>\n<p>Large birds in the wild are as rare as insects are common. That\'s it. Sad commentary on a land where cascades of exotic birds and animals once roamed.</p>\n<p>As a whole, Thailand has many qualities, but a thriving ecosystem isn\'t one of them - and silence, even in temples, is rare.

Start thinking like a teacher, teaching isn’t a 9 - 5 job, it’s a profession taken up by people who want to educate young minds. ','<p>There are loads of people out there who for whatever reason want to teach in Thailand. There are though, only a few who realize what teaching is really about. Most teachers come here from a non-educational background, and as such don\'t really know what is involved in working in a school.\n<p>Let\'s start with the biggest problem: Hours of Work.</p>\n<p>Thai schools are notorious for thinking they own their teachers, body and soul. This is due in large to the way they treat their Thai teachers; six or even seven day weeks, one or maybe two weeks holiday a year, if they are lucky, start at 06.30 or 07.00, finish at 17.00 or 18.00 or even later. Why should foreign teachers be treated different? Don\'t all scream at once, it isn\'t my point of view it\'s the Thai administrations.</p>\n<p>Teachers in Thailand really fall into two categories, school teachers and language school teachers. As language schools tend to work outside normal business hours the biggest problem for teachers is getting enough hours to make a living. Corporate clients all want the hours between 5 and 8 pm, with very little work before this. All other work is on the weekends. There is always private work, but usually not enough to keep the wolf from the door.</p>\n<p>Schools on the other hand fill the big gap during the day. A typical day in a Thai school starts at 07.30 sign in, there is then an assembly with the playing of the national anthem and some words of wisdom from one of the teachers who can\'t put the microphone down. This could then be followed by a mass berating for some unknown fault of the students. This is normally done in Thai so the poor English teachers stand around thinking what a waste of time; they could be somewhere else having a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. But such is the life of a teacher. Assemblies are part and parcel of being a teacher.</p>\n<p>Teaching hours do vary from school to school, but on average a foreign teacher will be expected to teach between 20 - 25 fifty minute periods per week. A Thai teacher will on the other hand teach around 10 - 15 periods per week.</p>\n<p>Pastoral care of the darling little children under your care is nearly all done by the Thai teachers. Most school don\'t trust foreigners to take care of the wee ones. Any foreign teacher who volunteers to do pastoral work will be very welcomed by the Thai teachers, but looked at suspiciously by the admin, except at a few of the more enlightened schools.</p>\n<p>Your down time between lessons is not for drinking coffee, but for checking your pupils\' work, creating lesson plans, arranging interesting activities for your lessons, marking homework, preparing tests and exams, keeping records. All the things teachers do. The hours of work are there to work, not shirk.</p>\n<p>When you go home at 16.30, or even earlier, the Thai teachers are still working.</p>\n<p>I can hear your screams, \"They don\'t pay enough to keep me at school all day.\" \"What\'s the point of sitting around when there isn\'t any work to be done?\" \"Why can\'t we go home when we have finished teaching?\" \"What\'s the point of starting so early when my first lesson isn\'t until after lunch?\"</p>\n<p>Start looking at things from an employer\'s point of view. Start thinking like a teacher, teaching isn\'t a 9 - 5 job, it\'s a profession taken up by people who want to educate young minds. It isn\'t about money, but about teaching. Teachers all around the world start early, finish late. Most take work home with them. It is a way of life, not a way of getting rich. If you want to get rich working, don\'t be an employee. If you don\'t want to do the hours of a teacher, don\'t become a teacher.</p>\n<p>Before you start a job you are told the hours of work. You have the choice to accept or decline. If you don\'t like the hours in a school, look at language schools for employment. You can have a lie-in in the mornings, work hard two days a week, and, maybe earn enough to pay the rent a buy a few beers. The choice is yours.</p>\n</p>','','2004-09-01 14:16:09',1,'2004-09-01 14:16:09','2009-11-06 05:05:10'),(875,42,'The enigma of lesson plans','the-enigma-of-lesson-plans','Why do teachers hate them?','The students are the ones that benefit most from a well prepared lesson plan. By the teacher preparing a lesson plan, the teacher is organizing their thoughts and ideas along with a coherent follow on from previous lessons.','<p>Why is it that schools have to fight the teachers to get them to do their lesson plans on time, or even do them at all? Let\'s face it; lesson plans are part and parcel of a teacher\'s work load. So, let\'s look at what a lesson plan is and why it is so important:\n<p>First and foremost a lesson plan is a tool. A tool that helps teachers organise their lessons so that the students can learn in a methodical and well structured way. It is also a tool for the school administration to let them know what you are doing in the classroom. Let\'s be honest, the school pays your wages, no matter how pitiful they may be, so they have a right to know you are doing your job correctly. In Thailand the Education Ministry also want to see what you, the teacher, are teaching the poor unsuspecting students. Yes I know the argument that nobody ever looks at them, but that isn\'t your problem, it\'s the schools.</p>\n<p>The students are the ones that benefit most from a well prepared lesson plan. By the teacher preparing a lesson plan, the teacher is organizing their thoughts and ideas along with a coherent follow on from previous lessons. By following on and building from previously taught subjects the teacher is allowing the students the opportunity to review items that may not be clear in their mind, and put in place the necessary building blocks for language acquisition. Lesson plans also really do help the teacher, especially the teacher who has had no formal teaching training.</p>\n<p>It\'s strange, teachers who are qualified teachers in their own country don\'t normally have a problem with making their plans, it is the teachers who come from a business background object the most . Strange that isn\'t it. You would think it likely that people who come from a business background would see the benefits of planning ahead, or am I being naive?</p>\n<p>Why should the teacher have to plan their own lesson? Don\'t lesson plans come with a well designed syllabus or curriculum? Come on! Who knows the students better, you the teacher who sees the students all the time, or someone in an ivory tower who never sees a student? As a teacher you need to be flexible, if something you planned isn\'t working, change it. With a ready made lesson plan you can\'t change anything. You just have to keep fighting your way through the lesson. You don\'t do anybody any favours. With your own plan, you can change things on the spot, help those that need help, and rearrange topics into an order that the students can learn from. One thing I have learnt is: Every teacher teaches in a different manner.</p>\n<p>Schools also want lesson plans in advance so that if you are absent, the teacher taking your classes knows what you have been doing, and can either continue where you left off or recap. You say you won\'t be absent, with the food in Thailand, you can never be sure.</p>\n<p>We all know that once you do your lesson plans, nobody ever looks at them, but that isn\'t your concern. If the school asks you to do something that is in line with the real work of teaching, are giving you the time to do it, and are paying you a salary, why do you have a problem doing it? According to the schools, the ministry of education does sometimes pick on a school and go through everything with a fine toothed comb. The school never knows when or if it will happen. What they do know is if things aren\'t up to scratch they get jumped on.</p>\n<p>There are thousands of lesson plans on loads of websites that can be adapted to suit any lesson.

Many just up and leave with no word or thought for the mess they are leaving behind.\n','<p>A thing that is close to most teachers and schools alike is your contract. Many of them aren\'t worth the paper they are written on, but most are. Schools will go to enormous lengths to get out of honoring a clause in a contract that is seen as detrimental to the school. Likewise teachers try to find loopholes that will help them break the contract so they can leave with a clear conscience, and feel they honored their part.\n<p>Let\'s face it, when a teacher realizes they made a mistake by taking the job, or have suddenly found another school that will pay them more money, they will try to get out of the contract. Many just up and leave with no word or thought for the mess they are leaving behind.</p>\n<p>All contracts have a probationary period, usually three months. This time is not only for the school to see if your work is up to standard, but is also for you to see if the school is what they have presented themselves to be, is the school up to your standard? Let\'s be honest, if you can\'t suss out a school in three months you\'re a bit slow. At any time you feel that the school isn\'t for you within the probationary period you can leave without penalty or a feeling of guilt.</p>\n<p>Be careful though. Your visa if it is a non-immigrant B visa is tied to the school. You quit, the school is obliged by law to notify the immigration division and cancel your visa. That gives you 7 days to get your house in order. Most of the time you will need to leave the country and re-enter on a new visa. This isn\'t the school being mean, it is the law. They can get into the smelly dark brown sticky stuff is they don\'t, just as much as you can.</p>\n<p>Contract lengths vary with schools. Some go for a twelve month contract, others for two years, and others for ten months. Check the length of the contract before you sign it. Like most things in Thailand, contracts are negotiable. The obvious disadvantage for the teacher with a ten month contract is that it means the school doesn\'t have to pay holidays; which means you get stiffed for two months wages, just when you need them most. However, schools don\'t give uniform holiday entitlement. I know schools that give paid 6 weeks between academic years, plus 3 weeks in October, plus usually 1 week - 10 days over Christmas and New Year. Yet I know others that give three weeks out of the whole year, the rest you work or don\'t get paid. Whilst you are looking at holidays, don\'t forget the Thai teachers, they get an average of 1 week per year.</p>\n<p>One thing I will say for Thai schools: They do tend to reward loyalty. The more you show the school that you want to be a part of the school, and stick with them for a few years, the more the school will support you in what you try to do and pay you better for doing it.</p>\n<p>Contracts are there to be used by both parties, be ready with a bit of give and take, (you give the school takes) be honest with yourself, are you really worth the salary you expect? Should a non-teaching degree be worth the same to a school as a teaching degree? Yes, we know you could be earning twice as much in Korea or Japan, so why aren\'t you? Yes, we know you have commitments in your own country, so why are you here? Before you commit to a contract think hard and long about it. Don\'t rush into it, take a day or two, look at the options, then decide. Once you have decided though, stop thinking about whether you have made the right choice. Get on with the job, keep your head down and avoid the gossips. Honour your contract, and be honorable to yourself, your employer, and your pupils/students.</p>\n<p>Should a school break your contract, you can always go to the Ministry of Labour, they will help you. You can sue the school for breach of contract.</p>\n</p>','','2004-11-01 15:40:09',1,'2004-11-01 15:40:09','2009-11-06 05:05:10'),(877,43,'Minority report','minority-report','B.Ed teachers in Thailand','Language schools often do not recognize the qualifications of a B.Ed. teacher. Often directors of schools have no background in the field of education and so do not know how to assess the credentials of a B.Ed. teacher.','<h3>The deception</h3>\n<p>For the last ten years, in Canada, the provincial government predicted an epidemic of teacher shortages. This, it was claimed, would be caused by teachers, hired during the Baby Boom generation, entering into retirement. Of particular concern was the shortage of male teachers in the primary grades. Committees were formed, statistics compiled and recommendations made. Teachers Colleges across the country began to increase enrollment two and three times the amount of previous years. However, while these forecasts predicted unparalleled opportunities for new Canadian teachers, it soon became clear to recent graduates that the market was not as accessible as they had been led to believe.</p>\n<p>Teacher strikes, pink-listed boards, budget cuts, and an over-abundance of new graduates all contributed to the current situation. Sure, new graduates can often find part-time employment as substitute teachers, on short-term contracts, or going to more remote northern aboriginal communities, but the availability of long-term contracts for newly graduated teachers is quickly diminishing. And the competition is fierce. Those teachers with the greatest success are those with advanced degrees, masters degrees and subject specialties that are still in high demand, such as French, physics, chemistry and math.</p>\n<p>And with respect to the shortage of male teachers in the primary grades, the situation is also not as it would seem. The schools, in many cases, are simply not hiring men for the primary grades. Whether this is the result of traditional gender stereotypes that favor female teachers for younger children, or the influence of a public hysteria surrounding child sexual abuse, is unclear. What is clear is that, once again, male teachers who entered into the profession seeking to specialize in early childhood education, and to fill predicted shortages, are finding it increasingly difficult to find work.</p>\n<h3>An alternative</h3>\n<p>For these teachers there is another alternative. Increasingly, new teachers are choosing to travel overseas to work as language teachers. This is a particularly attractive alternative for teachers with considerable student debt, or teachers not wishing to work in substitution positions. Working overseas is an adventure, an opportunity to learn about a new culture and study a new language. And why remain in a market where you are under-qualified and underappreciated when you can tap into a market where you are highly sought after and respected? Particularly in Asia, the opportunities for qualified B.Ed. teachers are limitless.</p>\n<p>Recently new initiatives have started in some Asian countries to bring in qualified teachers to teach English in the public schools. Japan is the pioneer in this area with the JET programme, or Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme, which recruits both B.Ed. teachers and TEFL teachers to work in rural schools. The Taiwan Ministry of Education also recently started the &lsquo;Foreign Teacher Recruitment\' program to bring qualified B.Ed. teachers into the public school system.</p>\n<h3>A market ill-equipped</h3>\n<p>However, a problem arises when B.Ed. teachers attempt to get work with local language schools. Language schools often do not recognize the qualifications of a B.Ed. teacher. Often directors of schools have no background in the field of education and so do not know how to assess the credentials of a B.Ed. teacher. Policy is often outdated and does not take into account the possibility that a B.Ed. teacher might apply for a position. Schools, wanting to employ teachers who will be able to obtain a visa, are often unaware that the Ministry of Education does not require TEFL certificates for teachers who possess an education degree.</p>\n<p>There is also some contention among TEFL teachers with regard to the qualifications of a B.Ed. teacher. Some TEFL teachers would argue that holding an education degree does not mean that you are qualified to teach English. Courses in language acquisition and education theories directly related to teaching English are absent from most education programs, and so B.Ed. teachers are ill-equipped to be teaching English. On the other hand, some B.Ed. teachers might argue that a six week TEFL course is hardly a sufficient course of study compared to a four year degree in education.</p>\n<h3>A community</h3>\n<p>However, despite our differences, B.Ed. teachers need a community too. A place to call home. A forum to communicate with other teachers and to find support and assistance. If we are to meet with success we need to speak with other teachers who have gone before us. If we are to grow as teachers we need to be able to exchange ideas and to learn from each other. If we are to enjoy our time here, we need to seek friendship with those we have the most in common with.</p>\n<p>As a B.Ed. teacher myself, I hope that I can find a home here on ajarn.com. I hope that you will welcome me here as one of your own. I hope that I might provide a resource for other B.Ed. teachers. And I hope that, by providing an alternative perspective, I can help us to grow as a community.</p>','','2006-11-01 15:47:11',1,'2006-11-01 15:47:11','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(878,43,'Culture shock','culture-shock','Adjusting to a new life abroad','The transition to life in a new country means adjusting to a foreign culture.

I tend to rely upon what I know rather than experience new things, to speak to other foreigners rather than attempt to learn a new language, to eat Western food rather than order something unknown from a menu that has no English translation.

But what is culture? What is it that we are confronted with? Culture is a set of shared, accepted behavior patterns, values, assumptions and common experiences. It defines the social structure, the expectations and the norms of communication for a society.</p>\n<p>Upon traveling to a new country you will be confronted with a set of beliefs very different from your own. The degree to which these things will differ from your own culture will vary greatly depending on where you are. When confronted by a foreign culture, it is not uncommon to experience anxiety. &lsquo;Culture shock\' is a term that was coined by Kalvero Oberg in 1958, to describe just such a phenomenon. Such anxiety can cause a person to feel lost, confused, restless or unable to make decisions. According to this theory, a person experiencing &lsquo;culture shock\' will go through 5 stages.</p>\n<p>The five stages of culture shock are:<br />1. Honeymoon stage: You are enamored with the new culture. You enjoy experiencing the new sights, sounds and tastes of your new environment. You love your new life, and have no regrets. <br />2. Critical stage: At this stage you experience a &lsquo;crash\'. You no longer feel the euphoria you had during the first stage. You begin to experience feelings of dissatisfaction, doubt and confusion. You become critical and judgmental. You are more aware of the problems that accompany adjusting to a foreign culture, and you may become easily upset or impatient. This also the stage most commonly associated with &lsquo;culture shock\'. <br />3. Adjustment stage: You have a renewed sense of commitment. You are taking positive steps to alleviate the problems you encounter. You realize things aren\'t so bad. <br />4. Adaptation stage: You develop a greater appreciation of the culture in which you live. You incorporate local customs into your daily routine. You have adjusted to your new life.<br />5. Re-entry stage: Also known as &lsquo;reverse culture shock\'. This stage describes the problems encountered during re-integration back into your home country. <br />Suggestions</p>\n<p>This is a list of suggestions and sound advice for those making the transition to a new culture. These are suggestions for not only overcoming &lsquo;culture shock\', but beginning your new life abroad.</p>\n<p><strong>Relax</strong></p>\n<p>Though this may be a stressful time for you, it is important for you to relax and enjoy yourself. This too shall pass. Your anxiety is only temporary. There is a wealth of new and exciting cultural experiences just waiting for you, new food, new sights to see, things to do, etc.</p>\n<p>Refrain from making serious decisions<br />I suggest refraining from making any major decisions for at least 3 months. With any major move, especially to a new culture, there is doubt. You may think that this is not for you, that it would be better to abandon your new job and move back home. My suggestion is to wait. You are not thinking clearly and may not be able to make a rational decision. A hasty decision to return home may be regretted later. Give yourself time to adjust before making such a decision. <br />But returning home is not the only major decision you should refrain from during this time. Decisions to quit your job, to break up with a long time girlfriend, to move to another apartment, are all decisions that should not be made during your initial transition. <br />Sometimes it is not possible to refrain from all major decisions. For example, it will be necessary to find accommodations in the first few months in a new country. In this case, make a decision only after careful consideration of all the available choices at your disposal. And it is often wise to seek the advice of others who have lived here for sometime, preferably other expats.</p>\n<p><strong>Be open-minded</strong></p>\n<p>It is a natural tendency to see the world through the eyes of the cultural concepts we grew up in and internalized since infancy. So when confronted by a culture different than our own we tend to judge that culture. We may view certain customs and traditions as primitive or we may think certain beliefs to be immoral. I would encourage you to refrain from making judgement. Be open-minded. Acceptance is the best method of keeping an open mind. You need not make a moral judgement about another culture\'s customs or beliefs, but merely accept that that is how it is done. By doing so, you will make your adjustment that much easier.</p>\n<p><strong>Learn about the culture</strong><br />Immerse yourself in the daily life of the culture of the country you have chosen to call home. Enjoy learning new ways to do things, tasting new foods, seeing new things. Speak to people. Do not be afraid that they may not speak English. If they don\'t then you will soon find out. But if you approach people with a smile, it is likely that they will not be offended by your attempt to communicate. <br />There are also many books available to help you to learn about a new culture. One such book series is the &lsquo;Culture Shock\' series. I have found it to be one of the most informative books when learning about a new culture, and each book contains sections for expatriates who are starting a new life abroad. These books can be found at most major bookstores.</p>\n<p><strong>Learn the language</strong><br />Nothing will help you to adjust to a new culture more than learning the language. Being able to speak to people who do not speak English will teach you more about a culture than any book can, and it will go along way toward gaining acceptance and respect among the locals. <br />Now you are probably thinking that learning a new language will take an enormous effort and amount of time. You are probably thinking that with your new job you will not have the time to learn a new language. You are right. It is likely that you will never be fluent without full time study, but learning even some basic words and phrases will make your adjustment that much easier. <br />A good place to start is: <br />&bull; greetings<br />&bull; numbers<br />&bull; transaction phrases, such as &lsquo;How much is...?\'<br />&bull; phrases to help you learn new words, such as &lsquo;How do you say..?\' or &lsquo;What is it?\'<br />&bull; food (an essential to tapping into the local cuisine)<br />It is also a good idea to bring a notebook and phrasebook with you at all times to assist you.</p>\n<p><strong>Make friends<br /></strong>Nothing makes an adjustment to a new culture easier than when you don\'t have to do it alone. Probably the best place to make new friends is at your place of employment or school. It is likely you will want to get to know the other expats first and that is fine. They are the ones you have the most in common with, and they can provide you with invaluable advice. Remember they have been through what you are going through. But do not limit yourself to just expats. There are many locals who speak very good English who will be more than willing to show you around and assist you in settling in.</p>\n<p><strong>Come prepared and come early</strong><br />It is important that you come to a new country prepared. It will make your adjustment much easier if your affairs have been settled at home and you have enough money to begin your new life abroad. Do some research before you come to find out how much money you will need to begin your new life. <br />Coming well before you will be required to start your new job, if you were hired from home, will give you time to get adjusted before you have to invest all of your time in learning your new job. It will give you time to relax and enjoy yourself and to get a lay of the land. Also, many leases on apartments are for one year and so if it takes you a month to find a place to live that means you will have to break your lease agreement at some point when you leave. Coming early means you can avoid that.</p>\n<p><strong>Make a life</strong><br />Many expats come to a new country and never get settled. They never make a home for themselves. They consider there situation temporary. They stay in hotels, guesthouses, or bachelor or studio apartments with only a bed to call home. And as a result they never quite feel at home. Though this may seem like a good idea I would like to caution you that there are consequences. If you choose to live like a tourist, you will always be a tourist. Making a home for yourself, buying dishes and a broom and toilet brush, can go a long way to helping you to become a part of the world around you.</p>\n<p><strong>In conclusion</strong></p>\n<p>Adjusting to a new life in a new country, confronted by a foreign culture, can be a monumental task. And though &lsquo;culture shock\' is a well-documented phenomenon, it affects people to different degrees. If, for example, you have lived abroad before, then you are less likely to experience the degree of difficulty that someone might experience who has never left home. Studies have also shown that more self-aware individuals tend to experience more intense culture shock than others, but they also tend to adapt better in the long-term.</p>\n<p>I hope these suggestions will help the inexperienced traveler, who like me, has to struggle to adjust to a new culture. But if you take the steps and see it through, living abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have, and others only ever dream of</p>\n</p>','','2006-11-06 15:53:46',1,'2006-11-06 15:53:46','2018-04-15 03:03:17'),(879,43,'Blogging','blogging','An ajarn lifeline','Blogging is way for people to communicate on the internet by posting articles or entries on their own personalized website. People viewing your website can, in turn, write responses or comments to your articles.','<p>As teachers and expatriates living abroad we are inevitably faced with the problem of how to communicate with our loved ones back home. Using traditional forms of communication, such as writing letters, is just primitive; or the telephone, but that can be expensive. Of course e-mail is an option but it can be tedious to write to all your friends and family. I suppose you could send group e-mails but then that is very impersonal and nobody reads those anyway. And so how can we talk with our friends and family back home? The answer is simple: you blog.\n<p>Blogging is way for people to communicate on the internet by posting articles or entries on their own personalized website. People viewing your website can, in turn, write responses or comments to your articles. Other pages and features can be used to add photographs to your website, insert a list of favorite links, or other information. Most blogging software allows you to have people become members of your website so that they can be notified of updates.</p>\n<p>Another advantage of blogging is the ability to publish your own work. Many people choose blogging software to put their thoughts and opinions on the internet. Blogs are available on every subject imaginable from gardening to politics, from the performing arts to teaching English (not much difference there anyway). And with the assistance of a search engine your blog can become accessible. You can attract an audience for your blog.</p>\n<p>Essentially there are two types of blogging software available. Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog servers or they can use independent blog software, which must then in turn be hosted by a third party web hosting service. There are distinct advantages and disadvantages to both and in this article I will attempt to review some of the more popular blogging software.</p>\n<p>Blogger<br />http://www.blogger.com</p>\n<p>Though Blogger was not the first blogging software it certainly helped to popularize the medium and make it more accessible. It is clearly the most popular free blogging software available. The most attractive feature of Blogger is its ease of use. It makes blogging a very simple process. Anyone can use Blogger and put their ideas on the internet in a very short period of time.</p>\n<p>Its ease of use can be both an advantage and disadvantage though. While it is very easy to use there are very few templates available to choose from, so you are very limited in deciding the appearance of your website. Blogger does give you the option of changing the code used to determine the design of your website, but this requires a very advanced knowledge of programming and website design. <br />The interface for inputting posts is very user-friendly, however, and allows users to write basic html, or to edit using an assortment of common word processing options such as bold, italics and lists.</p>\n<p>Blogger also allows you to publish an almost unlimited number of pictures on your website. This is done with the use of additional software to upload the pictures. The process seems rather tedious, but it is not difficult to understand and use. Editing the pictures, however, and placing them in the body of a post can also be difficult. It can be done but only by posting the pictures to another blogger website and then editing the html in your post.</p>\n<p>I recommend Blogger to anyone just beginning to blog. It is a great place to start. But inevitably you will tire of the software and want something more.</p>\n<p>Typepad<br />http://www.typepad.com</p>\n<p>This is an excellent blogging software tool. It is yet another blogging software which also hosts your blog on their server, however unlike Blogger, Typepad is a pay service. The cost is similar to what one might pay for an independent web hosting service so some might consider it worthwhile. And if you are uncertain, Typepad also has a trial period for you to test their software to see if it is right for you.</p>\n<p>Clearly Typepad offers a more professional feel to your blog. There are more options available to change individual features of your site, such as color, font, etc. However, Typepad comes with only a limited number of skins to change the overall appearance of your blog. And one cannot directly manipulate the code in Typepad, though that feature may be available in the most advanced membership option (one which I did not test).</p>\n<p>The most impressive element of Typepad is its photo publishing tool. It is very easy to upload images to your blog and the blogging software has a feature which automatically generates thumbnail images of your photographs on your main page. The page for viewing photos is also very pleasing to the eye. It is a very simple yet effective design I have not found in any other software available.</p>\n<p>I would recommend Typepad to anyone seeking a more professional appearance to their website. Typepad has the same ease of operation available in Blogger with more options, and so it is a good choice for those of you who do not wish to worry about learning website design. It is also an excellent choice for people wishing to post a large number of pictures on their website.</p>\n<p>Wordpress<br />http://www.wordpress.org <br />Wordpress is a free, open source, blogging software. It is the first of its kind. It is quickly becoming one of the most popular blogging tools available on the internet. It is both easy to use and yet makes customizing and personalizing your blog very manageable.</p>\n<p>The most obvious disadvantage to Wordpress is that it does not provide you with a web hosting solution, and so while it is free you will have to find a web hosting service to host your blog. Recently Wordpress.com opened and provides a free web hosting solution however not all features are available, for example I do not believe plugins can be added, and there are only a limited number of templates available. But these are the best features of Wordpress and so using this hosting service would seem to defeat the purpose. You see, Wordpress has literally hundreds of templates or skins available to choose from to change the design of your website. It also has innumerable plugins available to improve the quality of your blog. Everything from adding smilies to your comments to posting up-to-date weather forecasts.</p>\n<p>The reason Wordpress has so many different features available is because it is open source software. Anyone can contribute to improving the software, making new templates available or developing a new plugin. And with so many people choosing Wordpress over other blogging software, there are that many more programmers working to improve it.</p>\n<p>I highly recommend Wordpress to anyone willing to go through the process of purchasing their own domain name and web server space. This does require some time and effort, and just a little bit of technical know-how. But if I can do it then surely anyone can. Once the software is installed on your website the process is just as simple and intuitive as any other blogging software. And if you choose to learn a little bit of web design, then there isn\'t anything you can\'t do with Wordpress.</p>\n<p><strong>Other options</strong></p>\n<p>Well these are only examples of a few of the blogging software available on the internet. There are many more choices, however I chose to limit my discussion to software I have had the opportunity to test.</p>\n<p>I encourage anyone to look around and experiment. Begin simple and then, as you learn more about website design, you can try software that requires a little more technical expertise but provides you with more options to make your website into the site you want.</p>\n</p>','','2006-04-01 15:58:32',1,'2006-04-01 15:58:32','2009-11-06 06:06:34'),(880,43,'Moral education','moral-education','The Bangkok case','So what are the problems faced by Thai youth?  Well, many of the same problems are faced by Thai youth as are faced by their North American counterparts, though in different degree and proportion.  Unfortunately, statistics are few and far between and often unreliable. ','<p>Increased violence in our schools, teen pregnancy, rising crime, and a general disintegration of traditional values are all problems which spark the ongoing debate about moral education. The two advocates of moral education generally fall into two categories, those who support the &lsquo;discursive\' method and those that support the &lsquo;directive\' method.\n<p>The discursive method, also known as the &lsquo;decision-making model\' or &lsquo;values clarification\', encourages students to reason out positions on moral issues. Classes are generally structured to allow students to engage in debate on moral issues. The purpose of this model is to allow students the opportunity to develop their own values. There are several problems with this model however. More often than not classes degenerate into shouting matches. Students tend to learn how to defend, and rationalize their own positions rather than listen to opposing arguments. It is also argued that the goal of eliminating bias is unrealistic. Teachers will inevitably introduce some element of bias in their classes.</p>\n<p>The directive method advocates teaching students a set of defined values or morals. The students are taught what is right and wrong. This is immediately problematic. What is right and wrong? Who decides what values will be taught? This method though is the method most widely supported in the United States, and is currently part of the curriculum in some states. It is most often discussed with regard to sex education and encouraging abstinence among teenagers.</p>\n<p>And though there does not seem to be any agreement among educators as to the best methodology when it comes to moral education, there has been some significant changes to the educational system in North America as a result of this debate. The most significant of which is the insistence that educators be role models to students, to be models of exemplary behavior. More and more teachers are expected to be examples of moral behavior in and out of the classroom.</p>\n<h3>The Bangkok case</h3>\n<p>So what does all of this have to do with Thailand? Not much, on the surface. But more than you might think. Obviously the problems I highlighted in the introduction to this article are problems in North America. That is not to say that only people living in North America face those problems, but it was my source for writing about the moral education debate.</p>\n<p>So what are the problems faced by Thai youth? Well, many of the same problems are faced by Thai youth as are faced by their North American counterparts, though in different degree and proportion. Unfortunately, statistics are few and far between and often unreliable. There are also issues which are unique to Thailand that deserve special attention. Some these involve access to quality education, poverty, and enticement to prostitution.</p>\n<p>As an educator though, one of the first things that struck me about the educational system here in Thailand, with respect to foreign teachers, is the inordinate amount of teachers regularly engaging in immoral behavior, or what might be commonly thought of as immoral behavior. That is, teachers who regularly drink themselves into a stupor or go to go-go bars and solicit the services of a prostitute.</p>\n<p>Some of these teachers teach EP (English program) or ESL (English as a Second Language) programs in the primary or secondary schools, in either private or public education systems, or in international schools, or private language schools. They are the teachers who teach young children in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Now clearly they do not drink in class or engage in the services of a prostitute during English lessons, but I think it is would be na&iuml;ve to believe that this trend does not deserve attention. More specifically, it deserves attention for two reasons. I have often heard it said that &lsquo;children just know\', that you cannot hide anything from a child. And in my experience as an educator I know there is truth in this adage. To believe that one\'s behavior outside the classroom has no effect or impact on your behavior in the classroom is na&iuml;ve.</p>\n<p>Secondly, we are foreigners, we are &lsquo;farang\'. We are expected to behave differently afterall we are outsiders. We are not Thai. One might believe that this gives us a certain degree of freedom with respect to our behavior and how our behavior might influence those placed in our care. And it does, to a certain degree. But the nature between the foreign teacher and the Thai student is a complex one. It is not inconceivable that a Thai student might want to emulate some positive characteristics he sees in his farang teacher. The problem becomes more complicated however when the Thai student associates negative stereotypes of the farang with that farang teacher he admires. It is for this reason, it may be argued, that we should not do anything that might validate those negative stereotypes.</p>\n<h3>Lessons to be learned</h3>\n<p>I have been here now for only a short period of time and I am not so conceited as to believe that I can solve all the problems faced by the education system here in Thailand. I thought only to relate to you a subject which, to my knowledge, has never been formally discussed. That is, the impact by foreign teachers on moral education in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Though I cannot help but notice the irony. It is ironic that there exists such an inordinate amount of teachers with, what some might consider, questionable morals, teaching in Thailand. More ironic is the fact that this has never received any attention from either the media or from academic investigation.</p>\n<p>As I have mentioned, I do not support moral education. I also make a habit of refraining from making moral judgments of others. And so please note that the &lsquo;immoral\' behavior I make mention of in this article, is not behavior that I, myself, would necessarily consider moral or immoral.</p>\n<p>That being said, I do believe there are lessons to be learned here. First, I think that as educators we should not underestimate the impact our behavior has on the students in our classroom. That is not to say that we should necessarily change our behavior, but we need to be aware that everything we do and say can have an impact.</p>\n<p>Second, though we are educators we are not saints, and this is an invaluable lesson, and one I refer to as the &lsquo;Bangkok case\'. As teachers we are role models. And it has long been thought by educational professionals and advocates of moral education that as role models, we must always adhere to a strict moral code of conduct both in and out of the classroom. This we are learning is an unrealistic ideal, and in the end counter-productive. It has lead many teachers in North America to lead two lives, one in the classroom and one outside. But wouldn\'t it be more valuable for students to learn that role models are people too. That even teachers make mistakes. We are only human.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, this is a subject which should not be ignored, especially when it provides students with an opportunity to learn about not only other cultures, but about values that may be different than their own. A curriculum then is needed. And I do not believe it should be the responsibility of foreign teachers but the responsibility of Thai teachers, since it is Thai teachers who students will listen to. A curriculum that teaches students, from an early age, about other cultures and about other values, which may be different, but may also be neither right nor wrong.</p>\n</p>','','2006-05-01 15:01:42',1,'2006-05-01 15:01:42','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(881,43,'Behaviour management','behaviour-management','What cultural aspects do we need to consider?','Any behavior management system must have a system of rewards and punishment. Even the Grade 1 teacher utilized a rewards and punishment system, though in her case the reward was positive reinforcement and praise.','<p>When I was in working as a student teacher in Canada I had the privilege of working with a very talented Grade 1 teacher. It was a pleasure to walk into her classroom. Her desks were leisurely placed around the classroom in groups of four, student artwork decorated the walls and most of her lessons were taught at the back of the classroom on the mat. But what made it such a pleasure to be in her room, was the exceptional behavior of her students. They sat attentively during lessons without moving about restlessly, they were engaged and interested in the material being taught, and they work cooperatively during classroom activities.\n<p>So how did she do it? What type of reward or punishment system did she have? What did she give as prizes? How loud did she raise her voice at the beginning of the year? She had no complex reward or punishment system. She simply used positive reinforcement and praise with her students when they exhibited good behavior, and when they would misbehave she would have them sit next to her. She was always calm and caring and her students wanted to behave well.</p>\n<p>\"Well I would like to try that,\" you might say. Well, be careful. Because I tried to do just that this year and it failed miserably. I just lack the ability to run that type of class. It had occurred to me that this might be a problem, that I might not be able to implement such a program in my classroom, but I felt a teacher has to start sometime. And a rewards and punishment based system of behavior management cannot be used simply because we lack the skills to effectively manage a classroom without it. Surely the teacher in the example above had to start somewhere, and so I felt would I.</p>\n<p>Of course there are innumerable reasons why this behavior management system did not work with my students here in Thailand. The simplest explanation is that I am an inexperienced teacher. I will be the first to admit it. However, I am a committed teacher and a teacher who is committed to learning and becoming a better teacher. And so perhaps this is something I can learn from.</p>\n<p>But most importantly, this behavior management system did not work because it lacked a respect for Thai cultural differences. An effective behavior management system must take into consideration the students it hopes to influence.</p>\n<h3>Rewards and punishment</h3>\n<p>Any behavior management system must have a system of rewards and punishment. Even the Grade 1 teacher utilized a rewards and punishment system, though in her case the reward was positive reinforcement and praise. Students need to be encouraged to behave appropriately and discouraged from acting inappropriately. In order to do this a teacher needs to take into account what motivates his/her students. What do they want? What do they like to do? What do they consider punishment and what would discourage bad behavior? <br />Many teachers will use a complex system of rewards and punishment, such as awarding stars for good behavior or writing a students name on the board if they misbehave. Some teachers now even use monetary reward systems where students are awarded fake money for good behavior and penalized by losing money for bad behavior. Students can then purchase items at certain intervals. And while some systems are effective, others are not. I think it is important to keep any reward system simple, so that students are not confused. Students must always know what will happen if they behave and what will happen if they don\'t.</p>\n<p>For foreign teachers working abroad this presents a particular problem. Many new teachers simply do not know enough about the new culture they are living in to know what their students would consider a good reward. Well in the first weeks of class you must make an effort to find out. Ask students what they like to do. Find out about your students and their culture in classroom activities.</p>\n<h3>Positive reinforcement</h3>\n<p>It is always a better practice to reward good behavior, then it is to punish bad behavior. It can improve your rapport with your students, focus students on good behavior rather than bad, and make your job that much easier. Positive reinforcement, or praise as it is more commonly referred to, consists of no more than acknowledging good behavior. When you see a student is working well, commend him for his good work. It encourages that student to continue the behavior and if used in front of the class, will encourage other students to model that behavior. Most positive reinforcement is used in collaboration with a more complex system of behavior management, such as the ones mentioned above.</p>\n<h3>Consistency</h3>\n<p>This is the great irony of being a teacher. A teacher, it is said, must always adapt and learn from their mistakes, constantly improving their teaching practice as they discover what works and what does not. This does not work with behavior management. The more times a behavior management system is changed the more ineffective it will become. Why? Because students need consistency in order to implement a system designed to modify behavior. As I mentioned, students need to know that if they do this, this will happen. If a student learns that every time they talk during class they will be given detention then they will be less likely to talk, but if they find that they can get away with it sometimes, they will continue to talk.</p>\n<p>This is why it is important to implement your behavior management system on the first day of class and use it consistently throughout the year. Changing the system each week to make improvements will only cause problems and confusion.</p>\n<h3>Clear rules</h3>\n<p>Your classroom rules should be clear and easy to understand. Students need to know how to behave in your classroom. Your rules should be visible to students so that they can always be reminded of what is expected of them. And you should make use of your rules whenever a student misbehaves. Point to the rule on the bulletin board, have students read the rules aloud, ask students what rule they did not follow. Students need concrete examples to understand.</p>\n<h3><strong>Classroom organization and lesson preparation</strong></h3>\n<p>These are important in maintaining good behavior in your classroom. Your classroom should be organized in such a way as to allow lessons to run smoothly and without interruption. Similarly, your lessons should be fluid and engaging so that students have no reason to become bored and anxious. Always provide clear instructions so that students always know what is expected of them.</p>\n<p>In Thailand many schools require that students take off their shoes before sitting down. A place should then be set aside in your classroom to make room for students shoes, and organized in such a way as to not impede regular classroom activities.</p>\n<h3>Your School</h3>\n<p>My school has a list of school rules which they would like to be used in the classroom. It is important for foreign teachers to find out what is expected of you and your students. Ask the school. Find out what students should know and what expectations they have been taught before. It is always a good idea to build upon a foundation.</p>\n<h3>Cultural Expectations</h3>\n<p>Different cultures have different expectations when it comes to learning. Parents and school administrators and even students will have expectations of you. It is extremely important in maintaining an effective learning environment that you respect these cultural differences and tailor your classroom to accommodate them. Ask other teachers, school staff and even parents if you do not know what is expected.</p>\n<p>One of the most significant differences in teaching in Asia is the importance of recognizing achievement. But it is not enough to simply acknowledge achievement. Achievement must be recognized through tangible rewards. Parents expect a report card with high grades, school administrators expect work product, a clean and well decorated classroom, and students expect prizes for good behavior. Keep this in mind when planning your behavior management strategy.</p>\n<h3>Some Interesting facts</h3>\n<p>&bull; Behavior problems is the main source of teacher-related stress<br />&bull; Behavior problems are the main reason former teachers cite having left the profession<br />&bull; Ineffective discipline is the main reason citing for not rehiring teachers</p>\n</p>','','2006-06-01 15:06:42',1,'2006-06-01 15:06:42','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(882,44,'The teacher mindset','the-teacher-mindset','English teachers are all business owners','In Thailand, I have found that people quickly get labeled and categorized as either good or bad, helpful or unhelpful, good teachers or bad teachers, etc. Then once you are labeled it is a long and difficult process of changing your projected image.','<p>So lets dig in and get right to the meat of this month\'s article. Many of you might be sitting back and reading this asking yourself \"Why is this months column is about business and not about teaching, making lesson plans, or any of the other many important task teachers do to be successful?\" Frankly, the answer\'s simple; we all want to earn more money and some just don\'t know how. Besides there\'s already loads of information available on the topics of class organization and I don\'t really think my input on the matter would be all that valuable.\n<p>Well, lets state the obvious, there are definitely some very different approaches to making money as English teachers in Thailand. Some teachers choose to work at language schools, government schools, private schools, and fulltime freelance. After studying all the different approaches in search for the \"best\" approach I have found that there are two common factors that determine whether you will succeed or fail using any or a combination of the approaches. Not surprisingly the keys to success in the TEFL industry are personal relationships and self-marketing.</p>\n<p>You might be asking yourself, \"So, what does this have to do with being a business owner?\". The answer is \"Mindset\". There are two very different mindsets that most people have. I call them the Employee Mindset and the Business Owner Mindset.</p>\n<p>Employee Mindset - You know the person that goes to work everyday complaining to everyone that will listen that they don\'t make enough money and that they are being taken advantage of. It\'s also the person that is usually the last person to get to work and the first person to leave. Finally, the person with an employee mindset usually does just enough lesson preparation to keep the students awake and to keep collecting a paycheck.</p>\n<p>Business Owner Mindset - It is usually the exact opposite of the employee mindset. The people with the business owner mindset are usually the first people to work and are often one of the last people the leave. They do that little extra that takes their lessons from being good to being exceptional. Note: An easy way to tell if your lesson was exceptional is if when the students leave they are still talking about the lesson topic.</p>\n<p>In Thailand, I have found that people quickly get labeled and categorized as either good or bad, helpful or unhelpful, good teachers or bad teachers, etc. Then once you are labeled it is a long and difficult process of changing your projected image. It is up to each of us to determine what type of mindset we want to have and get labeled with. In order to help you seriously consider the business owner mindset lets take a look at a few numbers (I didn\'t mention it but I am also a math teacher, so I like numbers).</p>\n<p>A study conducted by the White House Office of Consumer Affairs in the United States found that every unhappy customer (student, boss, co-teacher, etc.) shares their grievances with at least nine other people, and that 13 percent of unhappy customers will tell 20 or more people. Unfortunately, satisfied customers tell only half as many people (five other people, on average) of their positive experience.</p>\n<p>Lets use an example of the numbers to help get a solid understanding of how this works. For instance, I teach more then 700 students per week at a large government school outside of Bangkok. From the above study I know statistically that if a student has a good experience they will in turn tell approximately 5 to 10 people. However, if they have a bad experience they will usually tell 13 to 20 people or more. So at the end of the week I know I can either have 3500 - 5000 people hearing good things about me or I can have 9,000 to 14,000 people hearing bad things about me. Now if only 1% of the people (brothers, sisters, mother, fathers, uncles, aunts, friends, etc.) that my students share their experiences with are outside the school than I have just gained 35 to 50 potential customers per week. On the other hand if I do a bad job, with the same 1%, then I know that I have just lost 90 to 140 potential customers per week.</p>\n<p>In other words, good news travels fast but bad news travels even faster. I also know that if I take an extra 30 minutes and prepare a little extra in order to do an extraordinary instead of a good job then just that may more people are going to know about it and thus it will be easier in the long run to make more money.</p>\n<p>Good luck to all and happy marketing.</p>\n</p>','','2004-11-06 16:09:48',1,'2004-11-06 16:09:48','2009-11-06 06:06:49'),(883,47,'From Sri Lanka to Thailand','from-sri-lanka-to-thailand','Life as a teacher in a small village','Before I came to Thailand just over a year ago, virtually all of my English teaching experience was in a small village environment in Sri Lanka.

It was far cry, to say the least, from big bustling Bangkok Mahanakhon. So much so, in fact, that by the time had stepped off the flight from Colombo, hailed a cold, speedy taxi, and hit the BTS Skytrain, I felt like I had come straight through a time machine that had beamed me a thousand years into the future. Unbelievable. Bright lights, big city! I was dazzled (not to mention a bit dazed). At that point, however, the jaw-dropping City of Angels itself was not my final destination. I\'d come to Thailand with a very different and specific goal in mind: to find a shack with a hammock on a beach where I could sleep for (most literally) a few weeks. Why? Well...\n<p>I was more physically, mentally, and spiritually exhausted than I\'d ever been before. After teaching in a tiny, dusty multilingual (many students spoke at least three among the Singhala, Tamil, English, and Arabic languages) \"international\" school (perhaps in name only) in a northwestern Sri Lankan mostly Catholic fishing village, I had swapped whiteboards and workbooks for pickaxes and ration palettes in a local tsunami relief project on the devastated southeast coast (we got flooding and panic, but no wave where I was, luckily). We were some of the first on the ground there in Kirinda. We worked fervently and continuously on as much sleep as we could muster on the stone floors of a small Muslim elementary school up on a hill (and therefore spared). Once we had eventually gotten most of the essential things under control and in order at the camp (such as the jerry-rigged \"electrical grid\" we pieced together to make sure we had lights on high posts through the night to keeping away packs of stomping wild elephants- \"smokin\'\", perhaps, is the best way to describe it!) I was also able to organize activity sessions and games and classes for the many kids there. The ones who made it, that is. And there were a lot who didn\'t...</p>\n<p>But I\'m not going to go too far into the many deep sadnesses of that experience here (I\'m still trying to write about most of them, but the flow of ink is almost always blocked by pain and tears which freeze my hand). Instead, I want to open this column by telling you about the specific moment that happened there in (what remained of) that Sri Lankan village when I realized I really wanted to be an ESL teacher...</p>\n<p>Most nights, after long, hard days of work, the men at the camp would congregate in my tent to share stories, drink coconut whiskey, sing songs, cry, and dance; trying to forget, just for a moment, the living hell they were going through. Some of these guys had lost their whole immediate families. Wives and kids ripped out of their grip by the incoming waves or pull away out of reach in the outgoing currents. Sunil, one of three surviving brothers, watched his wife and daughter die even as he saved the lives of several other children. I know because I listened to the survivor\'s stories when they were still cruelly lucid and fresh in their wounded minds. I had been casually though intently studying Singhala, and I was glad I did, because these were words worth comprehending. And so, with a lot of miming and retelling, we communicated and we confided...Practical, busy things during the day as we worked to build a kitchen hut, latrines, or a new road, and emotional, heartwrenching things at night, when these tough men showed and shared their wounds and their worries and their wonder...</p>\n<p>In those late night pow-wows I never really felt like I was doing any \"teaching\". I certainly wasn\'t consciously trying to \"teach\". Mostly I was just trying to be helpful, compassionate, and responsible. I had already fallen in love with Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan people. I was just there to work my tush off to help those with less luck then I (a last minute travel decision literally saved my life) and continue deepening my relationship to the place and the people...So, I wasn\'t teaching...</p>\n<p>But I was. These guys were so interested in communicating with me, it was inevitable that I would need teach and they would have to learn. After all, they were continuously teaching me Singhalese. What do they say about learning always always being a two-way street? We were transferring language back and forth on a two-way emergency road. There was only one guy at the camp who I officially tutored. He was eager to improve his English skills because he anticipated a career change. He had been a fisherman just like all the rest of the men in this village. Unlike most of them, however, he was now absolutely terrified of the sea and vowed never to go out into it again. For him it was absolutely out of the question. So I tutored him while the others were back out there, mostly working with the subjects at hand- how he was feeling each new day, what we could do to improve the camp, what had happened, what do to next. We practiced telling, in English, the story of how he saved his family and others in a miraculous burst of physical speed and power he described best as \"Spiderman\" (The practice turned out to help when he had the oppurtunity to tell his story for the cameras of a visiting charity foundation). He thought he might be able to find work as a musician at a new hotel someday. But he was the only one I could call my \"student\" in the formal sense. For the rest (of the adults) at the camp, my English teaching was all...well, to put it in ELT terms, purely \"activity- and task-based\" in the extreme. How can we afford these three bags of onions and this mosquito net when we also need to buy more cement and a bottle of aspirin? It\'s amazing what guys will pick up when it helps get food on the table. About a month in and there were a handful of Westerners representing different aid agencies- if the guys at our camp could at least say hello or even \"we need fill-in-the-blank in Kirinda\" it helped...</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t, however, my \"student\" or the daily \"activity-based\" practical language teaching that ultimately tipped the balance towards committed TEFL teaching or provided me with my \"moment\". That came late one quieter than usual night in my tsunami camp tent. I was sitting there with a young man named Nimal. Another one of the three surviving brothers I mentioned above, Nimal was a true leader in the community- an expert fisherman and conch-shell diver, builder, singer and storyteller, husband, father, and good friend to many. His energy seemed boundless, even in the midst of hopelessness and devastation. Nimal was raring and ready to start building a new house from scratch before many others had even settled into their temporary shelters. You could see the constant plotting and planning behind his eyes at all times. I saw it this night. And the owner of a nearby plot of land had just made clear his intention to donate the area to the tsunami victims at our camp. That night we were looking at a map of that plot of land...</p>\n<p>Nimal, unlike a lot of the people at the camp, never attempted a word of English around me. I thought it was probably because he was too busy, too proud, or maybe just to scared to. I spoke some Singhala with him, but he was all business all the time, so we didn\'t get into much conversation. He was also the first one back out on the water catching fish for all of our dinners (survivors and volunteers alike). All this seemed to be his best way of coping, and I respected that. In fact I was, and still am, more truly awed by him then anyone I\'ve ever met. Looking at the map of the land that night, I pointed to where he might be able to break ground, looked up at him, and said \"this area\". He looked up from the map, at me, and then back at the map. Circling the spot with his index, his eyes wide, looking back, he repeated, clearly, loudly \"ah...this area\". Our eyes met. He smiled. Recognition. Communication. Success! It wasn\'t so much that I had taught him two words of English. It was the meaningfulness of those two words coming from him, in \"my\" language. In our language! It\'s not really something I can explain. Or maybe it\'s just that simple. Whatever it was, it was at this specific moment, those two simple words, that somehow bent my path most definitely towards becoming a professional ESL teacher...I\'ll never forget it, even if I don\'t stick with this career forever.</p>\n<p>It didn\'t take me long to find my shack with a hammock on a gorgeous white sand island beach soon after I got here to Thailand. And I did sleep down there for a few weeks. I could never definitively determine whether it was the intense physical work I did at the camp or the emotional toll of being so intimate with trauma that made me need that retreat into a long, dreamless tropical slumber so badly. Maybe it was the combination of both. In any case, I came, I saw, and I slept. But not forever...</p>\n<p>When I was finally ready to get up and walk it, the next turn in my path led me to right ECC in Siam Square and the CELTA course. And the rest is recent history...</p>\n<p>I\'d like to thank Bangkok Phil for giving me this lil\' space on his site to post some \"articles\" (let\'s use that term loosely!). Look out for a steady monthly column as I wouldn\'t like to waste this opportunity. I won\'t always be telling such personal stories. I\'d like to write a little bit about some of the ELT methodology I\'ve learned so far, about the slooow process of figuring out how teach in the classroom in Thailand, and about some of the (I think) common experiences of newbies teaching in Thailand, among other things. Just reflections on this thing called TEFLing and things I think may be helpful to someone in my shoes not more than two years ago, ready to set out to conquer, in my own little way, some tiny corner of SE Asia. Of course, I\'ll be leaving the tough issues and supercogent analysis to the experts. I\'d like this column simply to be like a folksy postcard from a regular young TEFL hack in Thailand. Nothing special. In the end, it may just be nothing more a monthly demonstration of my -uh- imperfect writing style. Well, thanks for reading it!

Disorientation Syndrome\" or FALOSwthwtDS. So this month my article will surely reflect my state of mind just now - all over the place, getting by with whatever, plugging the leaks as they spring, one and off, alai godai.\n<p>Moving, even if just across Bangkok, is a stressful thing- even for a newbie without his own furniture or major appliances to haul out. Maybe worse than any of the physical work, there\'s the insecurity one feels about his security deposit. I wrote &lsquo;desposit\' there before Word autocorrected it, but that may be appropriate, as so many Bangkok landlords do strike one as a bit despotic as they play fast and loose with our Thai-language leases and the sometimes substantial sums we cough of for first, last, and &lsquo;just because I can\'. I had heard and read far too many Bangkok apartment horror-stories to just relax, and I didn\'t for a second believe all, or even most, of my money was gonna come back to me until it was placed in the palm of my hand.</p>\n<p>Moving to a much nicer place has been a joyful thing. This was a move from a box to a space. It\'s night and day. I feel like a human being again when I\'m home. I liked to describe my previous abode to friends as \"cozy\"...and, I suppose it was. But there\'s a thin line between cozy and cramped, and it only mattered what kind of day I had at school to determine what side of that line I landed on when I got back there.</p>\n<p>Even though I\'m spending a bit higher of a percentage of my salary on my new place, in terms of a cost-benefit analysis it\'s off the charts for the better. I would recommend to anyone wondering why, after having moved to Thailand for an easier-going lifestyle, they\'ve found themselves still feeling uncannily like the proverbial racing rat in Bangkok, to consider NOT skimping on rent. Sure, paying one-hundred bucks a month on rent to live in a great city like Bangkok is fantastic. But after a while, the &lsquo;bedsit\' studio takes its toll. Perhaps after inhabiting a proper space for a while I\'ll be able to revert and live happily for another year in a super-cheap small studio again. But for now...I need to be able to leave the room without leaving the house.</p>\n<p>Shifting from a patch-work schedule of various part-time gigs (some uni classes here, test prep tutoring there, a little language school stuff over there) to a truly full-time (7:15-4:30 daily) homeroom teacher job has also been a bit stressful. Gone are the long lazy mornings, the breezy fun feeling of the hit-and-run, teach-and-go gig, the constant mobility leading to new discoveries in the nooks and crannies of the big Mango. And in their place is the staffroom, the staffroom, the staffroom.</p>\n<p>But if I had one thing to say about starting at a new school with new students it\'s this (and this applies not only to moving, but to just starting out): don\'t even try to make some kind of big entrance. I did, thinking that if I made a big personal impression on my students right off the bat, they\'d follow me for the semester, respect me, follow my rules and orders, take my word for things, and eventually, a la Dead Poets Society, climb up onto their desks and salute: O Captain, my Captain!</p>\n<p>How silly. Better to ease in, I believe, with Thai students. Every day is a new blank slate. Of course you build rapport and relationships, and your personality does play a part in teaching...but what I\'ve learned is that the force of your personality will never make up for the lack of a good lesson plan. And that\'s where I went wrong. I spent the first few days trying to come off as &lsquo;really cool\' to my grade 8 student and neglected to do much pre-testing stuff so I could gauge their levels and pitch my lesson plans correctly. Now I\'ve got to figure it out on the fly. But the curse is also the blessing. They don\'t really seem to remember or care what you kid last week. You can leave class one day thinking \"great, now they probably hate me\" and the next day, after a successful class, \"what a class...what a teacher!\" What I think I\'m finally beginning to learn is that of the three elements of learning: students, teachers, and materials, it\'s the first and the last that should make of 95% of all interactions. The teacher\'s 5% is ideally potent and effective, but still only amount to 5%. And this is as true on the first day in front of new students as it is in the middle of the term and in the last week preparing for final tests.</p>\n<p>More notes from a newbie coming next month.

Not unlike many a TEFL-hack\'s favorite Friday night Soi Cowboy de-stressing diversion, the rear end of this baby is flying all over the place as it pummels headlong into the deeps of the Thai night.\n<p>Happy New Year to all the teachers out there, especially my fellow newbie kroos. Seems we\'ve made it through quite the first year here in the Land of Smiles. We made it through floods, coups, and John Mark Karrs. We made it through visa crackdowns and fake degree smackdowns, baht crashes and teacher\'s forum rehashes. And finally we made it through an explosive New Year\'s Eve and slipped on into 2007 almost dropping our blue whiteboard markers. Time now to shake it all off, regroup and march on.</p>\n<p>I have a few resolutions this New Year related to teaching.</p>\n<p>The first one is to relax more and try to really enjoy teaching in this land of sanook. I knew about sanook before I came here to work- it was partly the great sense of fun in Thai culture that attracted me to it- I just didn\'t know that for a Thai person it quite properly should infuse just about everything worth doing. Working? Sanook. Eating? Sanook. The first, second, and third conditionals? Sanook Mahk Maaahk! As they should be, of course!?!</p>\n<p>It couldn\'t have been only me who found all this a bit disorientating at first. All this fun in large doses would seem to preempt learning. Real learning. Serious learning. This is just the attitude I\'d like to leave behind in 2006. As much as we may find ourselves sometimes thumbing our noses at aspects of the educational culture here, we really must admit: this is a precious opportunity to hang up our hang-ups, throw caution to the wind, and make work like play. So I\'m gonna play my way through to next New Year\'s day.</p>\n<p>My second resolution: don\'t lose a \"beginner\'s mind\" about teaching. Sunryo Suzuki was a Japanese Zen Master who relocated to San Francisco in the 1960\'s. He famously said that \"in the beginner\'s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert\'s mind there are few\". As I learn EFL/ESL teaching mainly by reading about it and doing it, I\'d like to try to keep from adopting any rigid set of techniques or developing predictable habits as a teacher. There are so many competing theories and opinions about the best ways to teach a language, and then there are our own experiences of learning in our formative years that pull and push us certain ways as teachers ourselves. None of these necessarily promote a insightfully fresh look at the needs of our students as they file in and out of our classrooms everyday. I\'ve experienced some struggle with both of these things. This year I\'m gonna try to keep it real simple-like. I ain\'t no expert anyway, so it ain\'t gonna work even tryin\'.</p>\n<p>My third and final resolution for 2007 is to study some grammar! I hardly know the first godforsaken thing about it, because it always seemed to be just that: forsaken by the Almighty Himself and not to be partook, partaken, par-whatever of (you see). Truly, verily, Mai Sanook is grammar of any kind. Sure, I do teach it a bit, and I bone up on that bit as needed. But as a matter of course I\'m like a Whig when it comes to grammar: a know-nothing. So this year I\'m going to study it, learn it, drink of it. And it\'s not really because it\'s so important, here in Sanookville, that I must be some kind grammarian- it\'s only because when we make New Year\'s resolutions one must be a bit unsavory, like quitting smoking or losing those 12 delicious pounds. So there you have it.</p>\n<p>So, from the wildly jerky very back seat of this two-car Chiang Mai-Bangkok 2nd class late night express train- here\'s a toast to teaching English in Thailand again in 2007. I hope all of your resolutions work out. Having fun, thinking fresh, and perhaps a bit less grammatically challenged, I\'ll see you again next month.</p>\n</p>','','2007-01-01 05:52:46',1,'2007-01-01 05:52:46','2009-11-06 07:07:47'),(886,45,'Children and stress','children-and-stress','The edinburgh techniques and more','Stress tends to be thought of as an adult problem, if not preoccupation these days. For years many doctors didn’t even recognise its existence. \n','<p>Stress tends to be thought of as an adult problem, if not preoccupation these days. For years many doctors didn\'t even recognise its existence. But that\'s all changing now as our knowledge of brain chemistry improves. Today we can give chapter and verse on what stress is.\n<p>Put simply, stress triggers our fight or flight response, a reactive, automatic defence mechanism which gives us extra energy to fight or flee any given emergency via a burst of adrenaline.</p>\n<p><strong>Anxiety<br /></strong>Stress manifests itself as anxiety or secondary tension. Females and young boys tend to be anxious whereas older males hold their anxiety in check i.e. fake it, leading them into the more harmful &lsquo;tension\' stage. Which is one reason I\'m sure why males on average live up to five years less than females.</p>\n<p>Tension and anxiety in most children however begins with their parents, especially the mother. Show me a school failure or underachiever and I will show you an anxious child who has an anxious mother. The child picks up the tension and/or anxiety from the parents at a subconscious level.</p>\n<p>The following questions now arise. How does this anxiety affect the child? And, what can be done about it?</p>\n<p><strong>Bedwetting<br /></strong>Anxiety can affect the child in a variety of ways. One obvious example is bed-wetting. Less than 1% of bed-wetters have a physical problem, it\'s virtually always anxiety of some sort of another which creates so much tension that the bladder cannot be fully opened while the child is awake. When the child sleeps, that part of the brain which controls the bladder &lsquo;switches off. Muscles relax and the water flows uncontrollably.</p>\n<p>This doesn\'t mean that the anxious child sleeps well, on the contrary, anxiety creates havoc with sleep patterns and this in turn affects the child\'s ability to function properly. First of all, the child can be tired and listless next day.</p>\n<p><strong>Assimilating Information</strong><br />Secondly, we use sleep to make sense of events which happened during the day, that includes making sense of what we have learned during the day. If we don\'t fully assimilate the days learning, our decks are cluttered for the next days learning and that makes future assimilation even more difficult. Multiply that over a period of weeks and months and you can see how easily it is to fall behind in the learning process.</p>\n<p><strong>Expectations</strong><br />It\'s understandable but completely wrong to imagine that if someone is failing to pick up the basics like spelling, tables and reading that they must be lacking in intelligence. Most learning, especially early learning is done at the subconscious level via a process known as Ontogenesis. For example, we don\'t learn to speak formally we pick it up as we develop. Equally, other major players in the learning process also work at the level of the subconscious, for example belief systems, in this case self-belief and self-confidence.</p>\n<p>The expectations of others affect our own expectations and as you will read in future articles, these expectations are extremely powerful forces. They can drive us on to higher things or they can limit us for the rest of our lives. Happily they can also be altered. The point is they have to be recognised. Unrealistic expectations, for example parents demanding too much of a child before the child is ready, will drive up the child\'s anxiety ratings which will have the exact opposite affect which the parent is trying to achieve for the child.</p>\n<p><strong>Intellectual Development</strong><br />Recent research by Professor Howard Gardner of Harvard Psychology Department has identified 8 different types of intelligence in all of us, two on the left side of the brain, what I call the masculine intelligence and two on the right, which I call the feminine intelligence. Masculine intelligence is straight line and sequential in nature, i.e. mechanical. It is relatively simple to develop and most of its work is already being taken over by computers. The vastly more complex feminine intelligence is what gives us our humanity and will never be matched by anything other than a living computer, if such a thing can ever be devised.</p>\n<p>The point here is that left brain children, especially boys will appear to soar ahead on in the academic field leaving their right brain counterparts floundering in their wake. At this point parents, especially left brain fathers might panic. They begin to put major pressures on their right brain sons to stop being so &lsquo;lazy\', get some work done and stop messing about with all that arty farty rubbish, without realising that their right brain sons were infinitely more intelligent than they were themselves. With the correct training, i.e. using Wholebrain Teaching methods their children could easily begin to master the basics and make considerable progress across the academic map.</p>\n<p><strong>Know Your Child</strong><br />First of all, all humans are programmed to learn, but we are not all programmed to learn the same things or in the same way. Indeed, the modern workforce is expected to continually update its information throughout its working life and this will be the case for generations to come.</p>\n<p>Learning for life is no longer an empty slogan but a reality. So if your child seems a bit slow at times, encourage and stimulate by all means, but do not force, panic or show alarm or you will create growing anxieties in your child which, as we have seen, will actually prevent your child from learning.</p>\n<p>Look for the signs of right brain dominance. The most obvious is left-handedness. Most left handers, certainly everyone I\'ve ever met, are right brain dominant. Right brain children tend to be dreamy and unworldly. They will remember tunes better than words, will be sensitive and intuitive, people orientated and caring. They are far more likely to be affected by any form of row in the house than their left brain counterparts, but will be especially hurt and confused if the shouting is directed at them.</p>\n<p>They are delicate flowers and should be handled with care, loads of love and affection. They thrive on intellectual and emotional stimulation and the attention of adults. All children should be treated with respect, but right brain children especially; they are very perceptive and are not easily fooled; though they might allow you to think they have been.</p>\n<p>Right brain intelligence wont accept that 4(2a - 3b) + (2d + 3c) = x elephants - 77p unless they know why and what for, whereas the left brain will happily accept it if told to and learn the why\'s and wherefores later on. Left brain intelligence is one dimensional and operates in a narrow range whereas right brain intelligence thinks wide and deep and wants to know everything.</p>\n<p><strong>Physical and Emotional Development</strong><br />Linked to intellectual development and a crucial part of it is the development of the body and the child\'s emotions. Each is linked to the child\'s self esteem and self-confidence and general feelings of self worth.</p>\n<p>It is now well documented that children with low self esteem and poor self confidence are slow learners. Spoon feeding children and keeping them in a &lsquo;safe\' environment (the home, the car, at mum\'s side wherever they go etc) is actually killing them physically and emotionally. Never in history have so many children been overweight or at best, unfit. Never before have children been so cautious and in many cases frightened about life.</p>\n<p>In our efforts to protect and preserve our children we have in fact been slowly strangling the life forces in them. This in turn produces stress, which affects the learning process but more importantly it affects their ability to mature emotionally. It produces weak men who in turn are less able to help their own children to develop. We are in the middle of a vicious circle which we must break and soon.</p>\n<p><strong>Dyslexia and its Signs</strong><br />Finally, a word on dyslexics and defence mechanisms Most, if not all dyslexics are right brain dominant, dyslexia being an underdevelopment of the left hemisphere and a dysfunction between left and right hemispheres. The left hemisphere organises our thinking and our information, by paying attention to the details of a subject.</p>\n<p>Some of the signs that your child may be dyslexic to some extent or another:</p>\n<p>1. Difficulty distinguishing between left and right.</p>\n<p>2. Difficulty mastering the technique of tying shoe laces or buttoning coats or shirts/blouses.</p>\n<p>3. Learning anything in sequence for example: Days of the week; Months of the year; the Alphabet.</p>\n<p>4. Writing d instead of b and vice versa.</p>\n<p>5. Short term memory problems due to anxiety.</p>\n<p><strong>Defence Mechanisms<br /></strong>To combat problems within their lives your child\'s subconscious will develop defences to keep the trauma of failure to a minimum e.g. &lsquo;laziness\'; withdrawal; selective deafness; defiance; truancy; to name but a few. The Fear of Failure in itself is a major obstacle to learning. Fear of letting you, the parents down. Letting the teacher down, letting themselves down in front of adults they respect and need respect from, and of course, from their peers. They would rather die than look stupid in front of their peers.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<br /></strong>Children can be even more affected by stress than adults can. What\'s more they pick up our stress and develop their own from it. Stress interferes with the short-term memory, which is electrical in form and very easily disrupted. It\'s housed in the Limbic System and is the brain\'s &lsquo;clearing house\' or control centre. All information flows in and out of the Limbic System. Stress interrupts the flow of information in and out of the centre, thus learning and memory is disrupted. It affects all of us this way, but especially children and especially those very sensitive right brain boys.</p>\n<p><strong>The Edinburgh Techniques</strong><br />To combat stress in children, Brian Hill adapted and developed two psychotherapeutic techniques especially for students, The Magic Garden and The Study Relaxer. Soon young clients were being brought to the Edinburgh Centre from all over the UK. The Magic Garden is a simple but powerful piece of therapy aimed at those students under 12 years old. The Study Relaxer is for all students from the age of 12 and over.</p>\n<p>Both techniques ware designed to relax the students, allowing for a good wholesome night\'s sleep. They build confidence and self esteem and generally create the correct atmosphere for students to learn and assimilate new information and of course, remember and use information already learned, especially during exams.</p>\n<p>As a secondary issue, The Magic Garden also stops bedwetting, nightmares and sleepwalking within 7 to 10 days.</p>\n<p>You can download or find out more about the Edinburgh Techniques by emailing visiting the website: www.edinburghtechniques.co.uk</p>\n<p>Brian Hill MA (Edin) is an Educationalist, formerly at the Edinburgh Centre for Accelerated Learning and the Stress Management Centre in Harley Street, London. He is a specialist in Accelerated Learning and Stress Management.</p>\n<p>In the 80\'s he developed a range of Whole-brain Learning Techniques to help dyslexics and slow learners who came to his Centre from all over the UK. In the mid 90\'s he wrote the Techniques up and they have been selling ever since over the Net. From 1997 to Jan 2005 he licensed Classroom Resources to sell his Techniques throughout schools in the UK.</p>\n<p>Those techniques and more can now be downloaded from the new website: www.edinburghtechniques.co.uk</p>\n<p>Key Points</p>\n<p>1. Stress affects children even more than adults because they are less able to handle its effects than we are.</p>\n<p>2. Most childhood stress is caused by adult expectations, adult disapproval, or even parental stress picked up at a subconscious level by the child. This is particularly true of boys and mothers.</p>\n<p>3. Stress interferes with signals entering or leaving the brain. Thus learning is a major victim of stress, especially in children.</p>\n<p>4. Children in particular, need a happy, loving environment in which to learn.</p>\n<p>5. Feeding the child\'s physical and emotional needs is paramount to its intellectual development.</p>\n<p>6. Signs of stress can stretch from withdrawal to tantrums in younger children. Tiredness could indicate broken sleep patterns due to stress.</p>\n<p>7. A happy, supportive, unconditional loving atmosphere is the best cure for childhood stress.</p>\n<p>8. The combination of Stress, broken sleep, frustration with failure in the learning process and low self esteem and poor self confidence caused by this failure leads to can lead to severe unhappiness in the child which can accentuate the withdrawal symptoms over the years or explode into violent episodes.</p>\n<p><strong>Case Study</strong></p>\n<p>One of my earliest clients was a 12 year old girl from Dunfermline who was in special needs. She had a very low IQ, as denoted by her low pitched voice and slow speech. She couldn\'t go out on her own. She threw tantrums, wet the bed, had nightmares and regularly walked in sleep. She was making virtually no academic progress and the parents were led to believe this was not likely to improve much over the years.</p>\n<p>I adapted a simple visualisation technique to her needs, The Magic Garden, and made a tape for her which she played nightly. Within 10 days her nocturnal problems were over. She had been suffering from acute anxiety which prevented her from learning; this further lowered her confidence and self esteem. The Magic Garden tape broke the cycle of anxiety, non learning, low self esteem etc and allowed her to begin to move forward. That, combined with other ECAL Wholebrain Learning Techniques, saw her make improvements that her parents had been told would be impossible by professionals in conventional educational psychology.</p>\n</p>','','2005-01-01 17:56:25',1,'2005-01-01 17:56:25','2009-11-06 08:08:26'),(887,45,'Intelligence','intelligence','Intelligence is not fixed at birth.','Over the last 25 years we have more than doubled our understanding of how the brain works.

All the new research is good news for humans, but it severely dents many long held beliefs.\n<p>First of all, intelligence is not fixed at birth. It can, and should be developed throughout life from childhood to old age.</p>\n<p>Second. Intelligence does not deteriorate with age. We do not lose 30,000 brain cells every day, or every time we have a beer or a whisky, though an excess of alcohol or drugs can cause brain cell deterioration.</p>\n<p>Third. Intelligence isn\'t even a single entity. Professor Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified 7 different types of intelligence, two in the left hemisphere of the brain, what I call the masculine brain and five on the right hemisphere, what I call the feminine brain. The masculine intelligences are maths/logic and linguistics and until the mid 80\'s were still regarded as the only intelligences worth having. The school system is based on them. Gardner eventually recognised an 8th intelligence, spirituality, based in the right hemisphere.</p>\n<p>Fourth and perhaps the most startling point of all. Women are potentially far more intelligent than men. That statement isn\'t 100% true. It should read: Feminine thinkers are potentially more intelligent than masculine thinkers, because feminine and masculine in this case cut across the genders of male and female.</p>\n<p>The most obvious example of this was Margaret Thatcher, a very masculine, machine like thinker. Her strictly utilitarian, non feminine approach to problems did immeasurable social damage to the UK from which we are still suffering today, almost 15 years later. The late Carl Sagan on the other hand, was primarily a feminine thinker, despite being a scientist. He was brilliant, charming and worked tirelessly for the benefit of humanity.</p>\n<p>Feminine of course, in the context of thinking should not be confused with effeminate or female. Many men are born right hemisphere dominant, especially black men. The theatre, the music industry, advertising and films are full of right brain men.</p>\n<p>Of our eight intelligences six are on the feminine right side of the brain, our creative intelligences. They can handle information at the rate of one and one quarter bits of information per second i.e. 1,250,000 bits per second whereas the poor old masculine brain can only handle forty bits per second, yes 40, four zero.</p>\n<p>Masculine thinking is straight lined, sequential, non-emotional and thinks in words. Feminine thinking is flexible, has depth and breadth, is creative, emotional and almost limitless in it\'s imaginative properties and it thinks in pictures, which is why it\'s so much faster. A picture tells a thousand words. Masculine thinking demands one task at a time whereas feminine thinking allows multi-tasking. Panorama did a programme in 97 called the Future is Female. What they meant is The Future is Feminine. They failed to take into account the large number of feminine male thinkers.</p>\n<p><strong>School Failures<br /></strong>From all this new research has sprung three new terms: Wholebrain Learning or Accelerated Learning and its consequence, Integrated Intelligence. Wholebrain Learning is Left and Right Hemisphere working together. Because the Right Brain is so much faster it is dominant. Despite this, the majority of school failures are Right Brain Dominant. They are totally misunderstood and often put down by a largely left brain teaching staff as being lazy and difficult, either withdrawn or downright disruptive.</p>\n<p>Right brain pupils, especially boys, are sensitive, creative daydreamers who take failure and criticism very badly unlike their left-brain counterparts who are much less emotionally affected by other people\'s perception of them.</p>\n<p><strong>What is Intelligence?<br /></strong>Intelligence is the linking of brain cells (neurones) by connective tissue known as dendrites. Everyone is born with 12 to 15 thousand million, brain cells, each cell capable of holding information. But each cell can make up to 100,000 connections to other cells and it\'s those connections, which effectively makes up Intelligence. The more cells which are connected the more information we can work with and the more ideas we can come up with, providing we haven\'t killed off our creative right brain intelligences by an over abundance of left brain training at school or by many university courses.</p>\n<p><strong>Live Longer</strong><br />What this means is that everyone on the planet has the same intellectual potential. It means also that there is no such thing as stupidity, only levels of intelligence, all of which can be developed up to the day we die. Indeed, if stupidity exists at all, it exists as a defence mechanism. It also means that age is no barrier to intellectual development. On the contrary, the more we keep our brain active, the longer we are likely to live, i.e. healthy mind, healthy body. Couch potatoes beware.</p>\n<p><strong>Expectations</strong><br />Expectations are crucial in any field of development, but especially in education. If you expect something to happen, you are already half way to achieving it. The American psychologist Rosenthal divided a class in two following a series of class IQ tests. He told the teacher he had divided the class in two halves according to the results, bright on the left, less bright on the right, but not to tell them why they were thus divided and above all, not to treat them differently.</p>\n<p>Eight months later the class results of the &lsquo;brighter\' group were up by 30%, even their IQ\'s scored higher. Incredible really as Rosenthal had chosen the names for the original lists at random, but because the teacher expected the &lsquo;brighter\' group to do better, as much as she tried, she unwittingly conveyed this message to them, over the months which followed Rosenthal dividing the class. She also conveyed the opposite view to the other half of the class.</p>\n<p>For this reason it is crucial that all teachers be made aware of the new research which offers neurological evidence, that all intelligence can be developed. Without question, some of us are natural mathematicians, or musicians or organisers or writers, but all of us can and should develop the weaker parts of our intellect to bring them up to at least average.</p>\n<p><strong>Social Conditioning and Lack of Confidence<br /></strong>One major reason for poor academic achievement is the switch from really trying to make the grade, to looking as if you have already made the grade. We\'re talking image building here. Even those who are making the grade as footballers, pop stars etc get caught up in teenage image building where loud mouth and super cool swagger replace reality. A false confidence often bordering on arrogance masks the reality of fear, lack of confidence and low self-esteem. This means individuals never solve their problems, therefore never move on. Problems? What problems? How can you begin to solve what isn\'t there?</p>\n<p>This is all perfectly understandable under the circumstances, but unfortunately by not facing up to the problems of lack of confidence, low self-esteem and poor educational standards, it hinders the progress of intellectual development.</p>\n<p>To over come any problem we must first of all recognise that the problem exists. Parents and teachers must find ways of encouraging their children to learn without putting them under unnecessary pressure or trying to terrify them into working. Parents and teachers must find ways of learning how to relax so they don\'t over-react to their children\'s normal mistakes by shouting and they should never physically hit their children for making mistakes. That is so counter productive.</p>\n<p>Parents must continue to stretch their own intellectual potential at every opportunity to lead their children by example. Love, kindness and gentleness should be by words in all schools and homes. All children need that. All children deserve that. You deserve that. You also deserve the joy this new approach will bring to your homes and communities.</p>\n<p><strong>Defence Mechanisms<br /></strong>Every Human Being is programmed to learn. Therefore any child who shirks the learning process is doing so because his inner defence mechanisms, over which he has no control, have been set up to protect him from further emotional hurt. They are designed to shield him from the pain of failure, which he is experiencing during the learning process. Let us all adopt these simple concepts:</p>\n<p>Failure is OK. It\'s part of the Learning Process<br />and<br />Mistakes are our Best Friends.</p>\n<p>The only people who don\'t fail are those who never try. We learn from our mistakes, pick ourselves up and try again. And when our students make a mistake let\'s not be too ready to point it out before first pointing up the part of the answer they have got right e.g. 95% correct, but just a little mistake here, rather than: WRONG! With the emphasis on the mistake and completely ignoring the bits he got right. Let\'s remember that children are easily hurt. Indeed. Are even we as adults not easily hurt if we look silly in front of others? But who\'s perfect? People, especially the young should always be given credit for trying and if they fail they should be encouraged to have another go and helped where possible to succeed next time.</p>\n<p><strong>Teachers Fail, not Students</strong><br />Because everyone can learn and is programmed to do so, anyone who is failing to learn is not being taught properly. If our students aren\'t picking ideas up, isn\'t it up to us as educators and/or parents to find another way of presenting the information? Humans aren\'t machines all programmed exactly the same way. We now know there are numerous learning styles, which we should all become familiar with.</p>\n<p>Student failure is a failure of communication between educator and student. It\'s the educator\'s job to find a way of communicating his information to the student. Accelerated Learning Techniques, which are now available to schools via Classroom Resources in Bristol, can overcome any problems with spelling, tables or reading. We have no excuse for not having the tools to overcome our problems as communicators.</p>\n<p><strong>Anxiety Problems</strong><br />As a therapist in the 70\'s and 80\'s working in the field of dyslexia and slow learners I soon discovered that all of the students, irrespective of age or background, were being hampered by anxiety or second stage anxiety, namely tension. I used a visualising to help the under 12\'s and hypnosis for the over 12\'s. The techniques were not only successful in calming the students down (including stopping bed wetting, nightmares and sleepwalking within 7 to 10 days) they also produced a dramatic improvements in the learning process.</p>\n<p>Modern research shows why. The seat of short-term memory is in the Limbic System, i.e. mid brain. It also controls, among other things, the emotions. When the emotions are upset, the brain switches to fight or flight mode during which little or no learning can take place until the student is calm again. Fear is the enemy of learning, whether the student is 5 or 55.</p>\n<p><strong>The Edinburgh Techniques</strong><br />Almost everyone who has learning difficulties is right brain dominant, i.e. big picture thinkers. They prefer to see the big picture first then fill in the details as they go along. Despite the right side of the brain being far more powerful than the left, RB children fall behind at school because they can\'t pick up on the details of tables and spellings. They appear &lsquo;stupid\' whilst often being far more intelligent than their &lsquo;cleverer\' LB classmates.</p>\n<p>The first thing this damages is confidence and self esteem, without which learning is much more difficult. After a short while on this downward spiral, they begin to lose hope and give up. The Edinburgh Techniques, developed in the mid 80\'s for children of the rich and famous (as it turned out), are based on Wholebrain Learning which is Right Brain dominant, allowing even 7 year old dyslexics to spell words like Psychiatrist and Encyclopedia in the first session. (Because the technique is visually based, students can also spell the words backwards. That has to be seen to be believed. If anything shows they are not stupid, spelling PSYCHIATRIST backwards does.) The best then go onto learn a technique for the 12 times table (up to 12 x 19) in the same session.</p>\n<p>You can imagine what this does for flagging confidence and low self esteem. Suddenly students see a way forward and are keen to learn more. The techniques cover all aspects of learning and include 2 Relaxation CDs, the Magic Garden for the under 12s and the Study Relaxer for 12 and over. A written version of the Garden is now available in 6 languages. Dutch and Turkish will be added in March 2005.</p>\n<p>The techniques can be viewed and downloaded at: www.edinburghtechniques.co.uk</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />Every one of us has the same intellectual potential, but not the same Intellectual abilities. I can give a speech in front of thousands of people from only a few notes and keep the audience interested and amused for 2 or 3 hours. I can organise and run political campaigns with ease. I have a good grasp of BIG subjects like politics and psychology but I am slow at learning languages and other detailed subject matter. Engineering and maths beyond 10th grade leave me cold. Many of you reading this will say no, maths is easy, it\'s logical. You can check your work. There are guidelines. I don\'t know how you can work with such amorphous subjects like politics and psychology.</p>\n<p>The reason for the differences are the way our intelligences link up and whether we are right hemisphere dominant or left, people orientated or fact orientated.</p>\n<p>Two important facts to bear in mind are these:</p>\n<p>One: It is never too late to take up or resume learning. All learning makes the brain progressively better.</p>\n<p>Two: Information in itself is not intelligence. Intelligence is the use of information not the gathering of it.</p>\n<p>Finally. As we move through the 21st century change will become even faster and more complicated. We must always be ready to move with the times. No generation in history is right about everything. Even the most deeply held beliefs of past generations have been found to be ridiculous. Spare the rod and spoil the child belongs in the 19th century and has no place in a modern society. If we can\'t lead our children to the Promised Land we certainly aren\'t going to be able to beat them into it. Let\'s take off the pressure. Let\'s encourage and applaud effort. Let\'s try and be more understanding about the difficulties of our students.

Start of class</strong>\n<p>At the start of every English class, the students will rise and say in unison \"Good morning (or afternoon), Teacher\". It is your duty to respond with \"Good morning (or afternoon) students, how are you?\" which will elicit the rote response of \"Fine, thank you, and you?\" Say \"fine, thank you, please sit down\" and then get on with the business of your lesson.</p>\n<p>As part of Thai culture, the students are required to show their respect for their teacher, and somewhere along the line they came up with the previous exchange. While it is a bit ridiculous to have a large group inquire together about your well-being, this phrase has been beaten (sometimes literally) into every Thai student from an early age, and thus is impossible to change. The aim is to mimic the Thai custom of simultaneously praising and thanking the teacher at the start of class, and, while certainly not an exact translation in meaning, it is best to simply accept the intention.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Wais</strong></p>\n<p>The Thai wai can be a tricky business for the incoming foreign teacher. This prayerlike gesture of respect is ubiquitous in Thailand, and has a different convolution for each type of encounter. Through LanguageCorps, I found a Thai host family, who gave me the lowdown on proper wai etiquette. The younger, or lower-status, individual must initiate the wai, with hands at a different level according to the relative social prestige. Sound confusing? Damn straight, but luckily the Thais accept that you most likely don\'t have a clue about it, and thus appreciate any effort with the classic Thai bemused smile.</p>\n<p>Due to several superstitions, it is better to simply nod when a student gives you a wai, as you could inadvertently take seven years off his life. However, it goes a long way with older Thai folk if you give them any form of wai. In particular, you should be sure to wai the principal of your school, no matter what you may think of him personally. At my school, nearly everyone talks behind the principal\'s back but pays him the utmost respect to his face, a form of ingrained politeness that has its roots at the very foundations of Thai society.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Classrooms of bad students.</strong></p>\n<p>The Thai educational system stresses grouping students into classrooms of like ability, and then paradoxically gives them all the same lessons and tests. For the farang teacher, this can mean going from room of forty eager young learners to forty who can\'t yet read English, and certainly don\'t appreciate you trying to teach them.</p>\n<p>The Thais place great emphasis on maintaining a jai yen literally a \"cool heart\", so losing your temper with an unruly class is virtually unheard of. Be aware that the Thai educational system places the responsibility for learning on the students, so that teachers are not held accountable for their pupils\' failures. Instead, teachers will complain that the students are lazy or naughty, removing any possibility of poor teaching from the equation. This cuts both ways, as you are absolved of most blame for a poor lesson, but any successes can also be attributed to the strengths of the students.</p>\n<p>In general, the best method is to take it easy, maintain good humor and not take it personally when a class isn\'t interested in English. This is much, much easier said than done, but your Thai colleagues will quite frankly be bewildered if you as a teacher worry over or take great responsibility for your students\' grasping the subject.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Late Students</strong>.</p>\n<p>This is what Thai people do, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. The Thais have what may be generously described as a \"flexible\" sense of time, meaning that nearly everything outside of Bangkok, from buses to meetings, are ten minutes behind schedule. If the students coming late really screws up your lesson, then you simply teach a bit past the bell, as most Thai teachers do that already (making students late for their next class, and perpetuating the whole damn scene)</p>\n<p><strong>5. Unique student-teacher relationship</strong></p>\n<p>For starters, when asking a teacher a question outside of class, the student will sit on the floor, almost prostrating himself. If a student walks by a seated teacher, he will bow his head and shoulders slightly. This stems from a Buddhist urge not to be higher than anyone else\'s head, and is actually done by most Thais without thinking, as automatic as breathing. Students are taught to revere their teachers as second parents, and there is an entire ceremony known as Wun Wai Kroo that enhances this relationship.</p>\n<p>Most Thai teachers treat their students with a mixture of affection and condescension, accepting their role as both educator and parent. The typical Thai teacher thinks nothing of telling a student to erase the board, carry books and bags, and even to run simple errands. Despite the insistence of my colleagues, I haven\'t been able to bring myself to do this, and thus end up doing most of my menial tasks myself.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Kreng Jai</strong></p>\n<p>Don\'t be na&iuml;ve, but keep open the possibility that, Thai people want to help you. The concept of kreng jai (being considerate) is a key facet of Thai culture, and many Thais will consider it their duty to help a foreigner in their care however possible. I already had LanguageCorps providing additional in-country support, so I turned down far more offers of help than I accepted.</p>\n<p>For a new teacher, this can seem a bit overbearing at times, as many of your colleagues will feel obligated to tell you to eat at this restaurant or stay at this hotel, no matter what you might think. A balance must be found between showing appreciation for the advice and making your own decisions, but an open heart can often lead to new adventures and untold rewards.</p>\n</p>','','2004-10-01 17:05:27',1,'2004-10-01 17:05:27','2009-11-06 08:08:28'),(890,48,'Wan Khru','wan-khru1','Today is teachers\' day','The only country in Southeast Asia never to be colonized by the West, the Thai people take great pride in the preservation of their way of life, and the customs and traditions that make their country unique.','<p>The only country in Southeast Asia never to be colonized by the West, the Thai people take great pride in the preservation of their way of life, and the customs and traditions that make their country unique. The culture revolves around respect, for the elders in their families as well as those higher in the hierarchial society. The relationship between puu yai and puu lek, literally adult and child, works both ways in terms of responsibilities and mutual indebtedness.</p>\n<p>Thai schools stand as bastions of these traditions, with their emphasis on reverence towards teachers and state-sponsored Buddhism. One ceremony in particular illustrates the nature of the Thai hierarchial system. Known as Wun Wai Kroo, it is a day nationwide where students pay their respects to their teachers, taking vows to behave in class and devote themselves to studying. Unique to Thailand, the entire ceremony is based around the state religion of Buddhism, with symbolic flowers, lengthy rituals and a whole row of orange-clad, chanting monks.</p>\n<p>The ceremony was held, per tradition, on a Thursday early in the first semester. It began with the entire student body of some two thousand pupils assembling in the new auditorium. This aircraft hanger-sized building was built over the summer with open walls, to let in the afternoon breeze and thus be more comfortable in the Thai heat. Unfortunately, the design proved to also let in the Thai rain, as a passing monsoon sent the students scurrying to the middle of the building. After the initial laughing confusion and intermixing was resolved, the students lined up in their respective classrooms and sat on the floor (typical for Thailand). The eighty-odd teachers sat in front on the students on plastic chairs, with a row of tables behind them. At the very back was a raised stage, with the principal, Mr. Supporch, on a leather couch in his position as puu yai of the school, the vice-principals arrayed behind him and a Buddhist shrine, replete with gleaming golden statuettes, shimmering mirrors and freshly arranged flowers, on prominent display.</p>\n<p>The ceremony began with a mass standing wai as Mr. Supporch shuffled on his knees to the shrine. Once there, he slowly and gracefully lit a candle and three joss or incense sticks, reciting a Buddhist prayer to bless the proceedings. Once the principal returned to his seat, the entire assemblage sat down, secure that the ceremony had some form of higher approval.</p>\n<p>A representative from classroom 6/1, known as the \"king\'s class\" and supposedly the best and brightest in the school, came forward to lead the students in the traditional oath. After swearing their allegiance to king and country, the pupils made a promise that seems completely alien to my experiences with Western education. My Thai is shaky at best, but I was able to paraphrase the following:</p>\n<p>Rao nak rian pla poot laet faang took</p>\n<p>We students shall speak and listen correctly</p>\n<p>Rao nak rian ja tum took laet mai tum pit</p>\n<p>We students shall behave well and never do wrong</p>\n<p>Rao nak rian ja ruk ajarn rao laet mee kwahm suk rian tee rong rian nee</p>\n<p>We students shall love our teachers, and enjoy learning at this school</p>\n<p>There was a certain power to hearing those words spoken by two thousand earnest (to all appearances, anyway) souls, and I was struck by the evidence of feelings of respect and gratitude for teachers that are sadly absent from American schools, and Western culture as a whole.</p>\n<p>After the oath was complete, a boy and girl leader from each of the six grades came forward bearing a meticulously designed floral arrangement, with one candle and three incense sticks wrapped amid the blossoms. Each pair of students walked to the stage, then crept on their knees, presenting their flowers first to the Buddhist shrine and then to the principal, each time with a deeply reverential wai, touching their foreheads to the ground three times. Mr. Supporch, normally a jovial fellow who joins wholeheartedly in evening pickup soccer, maintained perfect solemnity throughout the ceremony, showing his respect for the tradition and representing the entire school in recognizing the gratitude of the students.</p>\n<p>The rest of the students now had their opportunity to show their individual appreciation for their teachers, myself included. I lined up with my colleagues in front of the stage, and pupils began come in waves, each bearing a small bunch of flowers with a candle and incense sticks. They presented this token of respect to one teacher with a wai and thanks for our efforts in teaching them, another idea that I had much trouble envisioning at an American school</p>\n<p>The prayers then started, with one elderly monk beginning a deeply sonorous chant and the rest picking it up, gaining volume like a rock rolling down a hill gains speed. The principal, student body and teachers stood and assumed the resting wai position, with hands tented at chest level and arms pressed to the sides. I soon became grateful for the \"resting\" part of the position, as the prayers lasted well over thirty minutes. Each booming chant washed over us like the sheets of rain still falling outside, and left this simple transient with an altogether pleasant feeling of tranquil harmony. I was later told that these particular prayers were for the well being of students and teachers alike, as well as an allegorical wish for the seeds of knowledge to be duly planted, and the fruits of wisdom ably cultivated.</p>\n<p>Several large metal jugs of water were brought out and perfunctorily blessed by the head monk, who then proceeded to throw the water over the entire assemblage of teachers. To do this, he used a long bamboo pole, sliced away at one end to resemble a wooden whisk. He walked slowly and surely through our ranks, with assistants bearing jugs to refresh his instrument. I was quite impressed with both the accuracy and volume of this elderly man\'s delivery, as I received a decent splashing of what I assume was holy water directly in my face (and with my hands in wai position, there was no way to defend myself). Now fully blessed, and apparently protected from all evils for the rest of the school year, we teachers set off to lunch, with a feast prepared for us similar to that of the monks. The students, after lining up to receive a summary splashing from the other eight monks, headed off to the canteen, the ceremony at a close, and classes to resume in an hour\'s time.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2004-11-01 18:12:45',1,'2004-11-01 18:12:45','2009-11-06 08:08:46'),(891,48,'Transitions in Thailand','transitions-in-thailand','The grass isn\'t always greener on the other side','Bored with teaching?

Sure there is a better way to make a baht in Thailand besides the TEFL game? Well, I just finished a six-month stint working in the marketing department of a large Thai furniture company, and am returning to teaching with a far greater appreciation for the academic life. In particular, I have to admit that the respect and admiration afforded to teachers in Thailand is of a different sort than that given to businessmen.\n<p>This can be traced, I believe, to a cultural imposition for each member of the Thai citizenry to do his or her best to improve the country as a whole. Thailand is a hierarchical society, and the stratification relies on acceptance of certain roles, and a willingness to perform those roles to benefit the greater people. The role of teacher, with inherent sacrifices made to assist the youth, does more than nearly any other profession to further the development and success of Thailand. Thus, teachers are, by and large, afforded a measure of respect beyond that of even the most successful Thai businessman.</p>\n<p>This is, of course, a generalization, and a solid case can be made for the prevalence of BMWs and other outward expressions of wealth as ways for the business classes to demonstrate their higher position in Thai society. However, from my experience, I noticed a definite change in attitudes when I moved from teaching to business, and then back to teaching. I came to Thailand through a program called LanguageCorps, and was set up with a Thai host family for my first year of teaching. This family owned the aforementioned furniture company, and I was quite friendly with several employees while teaching at the local high school. They were greng jai to the extreme, always willing to help me through all the bewilderments of life abroad. When the family suggested I begin work for them, assisting with marketing and maintaining customer relations, I accepted immediately, thinking that I already had several friends among my new colleagues.</p>\n<p>The change in attitude, while subtle, was also immediate in its effect. The strongest example came with the head of Logistics, Khun Anong. She was, and is, a tireless and dedicated worker, and I often chatted with her happily beofre leaving for school in the morning. She even took the time to correct my scribbles during my first forays into the Thai alphabet. On the first day of my new job, I was given a desk next to Anong, and several of my new responsibilities involved working with her. From the first day, I had continued difficulties with every request and question, and it quickly became clear to me that Anong had no great wish for me to work with her.</p>\n<p>Part of this problem came from my Americanized approach to business, as well as my inexperience in the export world and still evolving Thai language skills making communication an adventure. However, I was quite astounded at the general coldness from a woman who had previously been such a good friend. The only return to her previous good spirits and kindly interest came when I would leave to teach private lessons with some of my former students. Other parts of the job progressed well, as our Western customers were glad to have me working there, and I was able to learn about the world of international business. Still, the inequities inherent in a Thai factory were a nagging issue, along with the usual mid-twenties angst. After months of unending problems with Anong, and a creeping sense of immorality with the job itself, I decided to move back to teaching. I broke the news as gently as possible, not letting on that I was unhappy at this job, and hopefully not burning any bridges. My host family was understandably saddened, and I felt badly about leaving people who had done so much for me, but the strangest reaction came from Anong and other employees.</p>\n<p>The past troubles were pushed aside, and they threw me a very sweet going-away party. Indeed, all was very much the same as during my first time as a teacher, and I felt a sense of general appreciation for my choice. Looking back, I believe that the troubles came from my innocently throwing away an occupation afforded such a high level of prestige. My brief foray into the world of international export, while understandable from an American viewpoint, was difficult for a Thai person to grasp. The return to teaching, thus, was a return to order, and reinstated me into an accepted place in the Thai hierarchy. We\'ll have to wait and see where I go from there.</p>\n</p>','','2005-03-01 18:16:04',1,'2005-03-01 18:16:04','2009-11-06 08:08:05'),(892,46,'Ajarn lesson number one','ajarn-lesson-number-one','The first steps to becoming a teacher','A teacher, me!

Confidence levels had risen and most of the children could annunciate with ease the following sentences &lsquo;The robot is yellow. The robot is small. The robot is on the chair.\' Did I feel a warm glow resonate from my teaching soul, in short no. The reason? I was teaching items of clothes. Mmmm. What was I missing? Did Thai children have a thing for robots? I began to hunt for clues, hair clips, book covers, pencil cases, mobile phone covers (I did mention that the parents were rich right?) anything that would be marked with their tribe signature. All I could see were teddies, ducks and anything that was round, soft and fluffy. Where were the robots, at home? Most of the children were borders so home literally for some was their classroom, their pencil case an extension of their beside cabinet. It began to niggle.</p>\n<p>New topic for the staff room coffee corner discussion board &lsquo;what\'s with the robots? iRobot still playing?\'. Silence and then an exchange of &lsquo;oh bless her\' looks &lsquo;Flick through the textbook, start from the beginning and cross reference with the teachers book\' said the fluffy cat mug owner. &lsquo;Yeah but if you wanna be really educated, flick forward the next 3 chapters from this week\' offered the You Suck elongated mug slurper. Silence. The quiet stayed with me as I walked to my desk and pulled out the textbook. The mug owners remained quiet as they sipped their 3 in 1 mix and watched my reactions as I turned the pages. My eyes bulged, my hand stifled a gasp, my motivating teacher mood was at hig, but it crash landed at &lsquo;movie time\' teaching level.</p>\n<p>I had found the robots. The entire book was about robots. The last 3 months had been a subtle yet constant implementation of brain washing. Someone in the department of education titles at the Oxford Books Publishing house might want to debate with me, so I\'ll admit that talking toy machines were not the only primary coloured pages fillers.

Bold and rebellious, ah just like my school days. Deprogramming was tough, trained in the way of the robot the young ones fought to let go, but let go they did. Without the limitations set by the text book and the &lsquo;R\' word the lessons became more spontaneous. Banning the word helped, making a swear box (yep only one word was considered a curse) helped even more. Every time the &lsquo;R\' word was uttered, drawn or pointed at in the forbidden text book a fine had to be paid. 10 baht. Steep? At first I thought so until they all started to ask me for change from a 500 baht note! The coins clinked continually, even the brighter children whispered the word so they could drop their gold centred denomination into the large glass jar. Some even tried to get their coins to spin and flip before they landed and would drop more coins until their money acrobats scored a 9.9.</p>\n<p>The novelty worn off and the word was eventually phased from their short term memory. All that was left to show of the robot invasion was 2 sun bleached drawings on the wall and a jar full of sliver coins. And my turrets had reverted to the normal fisherman\'s wife standard. A day trip was scheduled and the class was given the chance to decide what they wanted to do. Visiting the beach to ride the 4 seater bikes was booed. Crying in front of the the gorillas who are in a shoe box cage at the department store zoo was also not an excursion to excite. The vote was in and it was unanimous - Lets go to the movies. Both my hands were in the air for this one as I had an excuse to sing the same titled song/scene from Annie for 5 days straight! In between broadway bursts the day was arranged.<br />The day came, the bus was boarded and the children we each given equal shares from the &lsquo;R\' swear jar for movie goodies. We arrived early and in time for a promotional cabaret for a coming soon blockbuster. A girl and a boy were shimming in character along to the movie sound track and my students readily handed over their &lsquo;R\' baht and all purchased pencil cases emblazoned with the movie title and lead characters.

The tape a list of grammy nominees and hip hop and rock were the play list leaders - yep subjects that Thai teenagers actually studied out of the classroom. 5 weeks were going to fly by. Punching out I checked out the The Teen crowds. All in regulation uniform, they each had their own signature look, each defining their identity. Oh budda they were cool and I was a farang teacher wearing floral purely to receive the superior female Thai teachers fashion approval - dress points mean bonus prizes at the year end after all. But things had shifted, the teenagers needed to like me,if they liked me the Thai teachers liked me - again points mean bonus prizes.</p>\n<p>Wardrobe rejuvenated, my accessory pot was over flowing and my retail hit was hard.

I flirted, danced and even spun at the request of 3 girls who wanted to see where my side hair braid ended. Standing up at the top of the class I waited for their approval, did I make the grade, what team would I end up on? My clothes were assessed. I soon understood that eyebrows when raised by the girls was a sign of acceptance and lip puckering was a mark of disapproval, therefore I name dropped clothes stores with care. Questions were asked, the boys were the quiz masters and they were not shy in the asking.</p>\n<p>How much did I weigh? How tall was I? Did I have a boyfriend and where did I live? Can you figure out which 2 questions were asked by the gay and straight boys? All in my stride I answered the questions, like training a vicious dog, show no fear and you will prove yourself the master. Tables turned I asked some questions, what did they like to do at the weekend. A safe and open question, answerable by each and every student regardless of their speaking abilities. The girls answer was short and sharp &lsquo;shopping\' while some of the boys preferred to fly kites. By mid week I had heard this answer a lot and it wasn\'t until a particular 14 year old mimed the activity that I realised that they were all telling me in slang that they liked to &lsquo;fly their kite!\' I blushed hard for two consecutive classes.</p>\n<p>\'So how did ya week go.

Teachers have a certain \'aura\'<br />2 - I can only think about my own school.<br />3 - I personally like middle-aged teachers, but a lot depends on what kind of class it is.<br />4 - A qualified Thai teacher can teach, but never as well as a farang<br />5 - I\'d prefer the teacher with experience.<br />6 - Low cost of living, fewer controversies (politics, social, etc), pleasant Thai people, and more chances to do things than they would get in their own country.<br />7 - I don\'t know, but I\'m willing to pay for a quality product.<br />8 - 30-50,000 baht a month. His living conditions will influence the quality of his work, his attitude and his lifestyle. A teacher can\'t deliver quality on a low salary.<br />9 - Yes, but there has to be a balance - learning vs entertainment. 10.&nbsp;It starts with the official curriculum at the national level. There needs to be a system of education officials overseeing teacher quality. The students need to have learning materials and not teaching materials.</p>\n<h3>The devious mind behind the questions.</h3>\n<p><strong>1) When you are walking around outside, how do you recognize an English language teacher?</strong><br />I\'m interested in this because personally I can spot an English teacher a mile off. Generally it\'s a male between the ages of about 30 and 50, and they usually bear the look of someone who\'s perhaps struggling to make ends meet. Teachers often have a sort of \'world weary\' look about them. One female teacher I once worked with commented that she\'d never known a job that made her feel so old. I want to know if the Thais can differentiate between the teacher and the company ex-pat or are they going to be too polite to say?</p>\n<p><strong>2) When you think of English language schools, which name comes to mind?</strong><br />I\'m genuinely interested in who is perceived to have the most recognizable brand name. I fully expect AUA to be a popular choice even though they are not as \'visible\' as say, ECC or Siam Computer.</p>\n<p><strong>3) What age would your ideal English teacher be? And why?<br /></strong>I chose this question because I suspect that Thais do consider a teacher to be too young at a certain age and too old at a certain age. I\'m even more interested in what reasons they back it up with.</p>\n<p><strong>4) Can a Thai teacher teach English as well as a native-speaking &lsquo;farang\'?</strong><br />I think the answers to this could be surprising. I feel (and hope) that the farangs will come out on top. How many students will draw on bad past experiences?</p>\n<p><strong>5) Would you rather study with a teacher who has a Master\'s Degree in English and no experience, or a teacher with five years experience and no degree?</strong><br />I\'ve deliberately left a TEFL qualification out of the equation because I\'m convinced most Thai students don\'t have an idea about them. I\'m anticipating the \'a degree means everything\' attitude, but perhaps I\'m in for a shock.</p>\n<p><strong>6) Why do you think foreigners come to Asia to teach English and then choose Thailand instead of Japan or Taiwan or Korea?</strong><br />Can the students avoid the obvious answers. That\'s the question. And what indeed are the obvious answers?</p>\n<p><strong>7) What do you think the average hourly pay rate is for a teacher working in a private language school?</strong><br />The next two questions both deal with salaries. Some of the people I\'ll be putting these questions to will be earning well in excess of 30,000 baht a month. I\'m interested in how in touch with reality they are. If I told them that there are teachers out there earning 200 baht an hour, what reaction would I get?</p>\n<p><strong>8) How much do you think a foreign teacher needs to earn per month in order to survive in Bangkok?</strong><br />I wonder what kind of lifestyles they think we lead?</p>\n<p><strong>9) Should English language lessons always be fun and entertaining?</strong><br />As teachers we\'re sometimes a little concerned that our lessons aren\'t \'sanuk\' enough. This question finds out if it even matters.</p>\n<p><strong>10) How could we improve English language education in the Thai schools?</strong><br />I\'m hoping that students can draw on their own positive and negative experiences. Quite a number of my students have children themselves and I expect them to have quite strong opinions about this.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/thaistud.jpg','2008-11-03 17:09:07',1,'2008-11-03 17:09:07','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(966,21,'The anatomy of a teachers room','the-anatomy-of-a-teachers-room','What goes on in that cramped, airless little room?','For all those who have ever taught in Asia - laugh along at \'the anatomy of a teacher\'s room\' from the water-kettle that\'s never full to the pot-plant that always needs watering.','<table border=\"0\" class=\"col2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img height=\"108\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/teachers_room/tr1.gif\" width=\"100\" /></td>\n<td><strong>The Water Cooler</strong><br />The worst thing about the water-cooler, apart from having to drink from one of those cylindrical cones of paper that implode after 2.7 seconds emptying the contents over your crotch, is that you invariably have to make small talk with Reg.

Always armed with her trusty damp cloth, when it comes to muck and grime she specializes in redistribution rather than actual removal.

How many neckties do I need? Will the pony-tail have to go? From the moment you walk in the room, you\'ll be turning heads and not stomachs. On no, not all five Spice Girls please!!!!','<p><strong>Hair</strong></p>\n<p>Thai students like a teacher with &lsquo;nice hair\', and \'nice\' usually translates as \'short\'. The girls back at university might have enjoyed fiddling with your pony-tail (among other things) but it\'s got to go. Even Steven Seagal and Antonio Banderas realized that pony-tails look ridiculous as you grow older.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of old-school, traditional Thai barber shops around and for as low as 50 baht you can have the man with the magic clippers whip off your sideburns in the blink of an eye. Choose your barber well and he\'ll do a decent job but f you can\'t face the thought of wearing a hat for three weeks, then \'proper\' hairdressing salons, with complimentary drinking-water and mincing ladyboys will charge 400 baht up for a cut and blow dry.</p>\n<p>There is no need to tip hairdressers in Thailand - but many foreigners do. I guess old habits die hard.</p>\n<p><strong>Shirts</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In my opinion, shirts are the make or break item for any teacher. Avoid elaborate cuff designs such as French-style or monogrammed. They\'re OK if you\'re an attach&eacute; to the Swiss Embassy but as a teacher you\'ll just look a prat. Go for something simple like plain white or grey or light pastel colors. Not only will these colors keep you cooler but they\'re less likely to get screwed up by your local laundry shop. And anyone who\'s ever had a navy blue shirt ironed so shiny, you can virtually see your reflection in it, will know exactly what I mean.</p>\n<p>You\'ll want to wake up in the morning, especially when you\'ve overslept, and put your hands on a nicely pressed shirt, so it\'s important to have at least seven shirts in your closet - a good week\'s supply in other words. Laundry shops can have strange opening hours. Yes, I know it says open from 7.00am on the door. And no, I have no idea why it\'s 9.00am and the place is in darkness. Don\'t leave things to chance with Thai laundries or you\'ll be teaching in your pyjamas.</p>\n<p>Oh, and short-sleeved shirts are the domain of air-line pilots and trainee managers at McDonalds. Leave them to it.</p>\n<p><strong>Neckties</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If you work at one of those schools where the emphasis is on &lsquo;having fun\' and you can get away with wearing a polo shirt, then good luck to you, but for most chalkies - teaching English means having to wear a tie.</p>\n<p>It\'s said that a man can have fifty neckties or more but there will only be about six that he regularly wears. Yeah, I\'ll go along with that. So why not treat yourself to half a dozen quality ties and you\'ll never have to worry about buying them again. Ever.</p>\n<p>Decent ties are quite pricey in Thailand. You\'ll need to pay about 700-1000 baht for something nice from a Thai department store. Probably more if it\'s something really &lsquo;designer label\'. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Oh and one more thing - you know that tie with Walt Disney characters that your colleagues back in the States used to love so much? When your back was turned, they were wetting themselves. Don\'t go down the comedy tie route. Please.</p>\n<p><strong>Facial Hair</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Be warned, Thais have strange feelings towards beards, possibly because you\'ll rarely see a great beard on a Thai man. Thais are unsure about them, even a little frightened of them - and I\'ve seen teachers fail job interviews purely on the grounds of their facial furniture. You might get away with a well-trimmed George Micheal style goatee or the rap artist boot-strap but if your beard wouldn\'t look out of place on a Canadian lumberjack and people are beginning to wonder if there\'s anything nesting in it - then you had better be one hell of a teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>Belts</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Bits of string? your girlfriend\'s old nylon stockings? I don\'t care what you hold your jeans up with at the weekend but when it comes to schooldays and dress trousers, you\'re never complete with a nice leather belt. Avoid the Sukhumwit Road street-vendors because this is the time to invest in quality. Buy the best leather belt that you can afford and it\'ll be your friend for donkey\'s years.</p>\n<p>Oh, and shop assistants in department stores will be only too happy to punch a few extra holes in just in case you fall victim to middle-aged spread.</p>\n<p><strong>Trousers</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Always go for dark colors like navy blue and you can\'t go wrong. Cream and beige trousers might look very nice in tropical climates but you\'d be amazed how quickly board marker ink can transfer from a whiteboard to a trouser pocket.</p>\n<p>Avoid wearing trousers more than three days running. Letting trousers have a day off and \'hang\' on the hanger allows them to regain their shape and you\'ll avoid the \'shiny-arse\' syndrome.</p>\n<p>The range of trousers in Thai department stores has improved a lot over the past five years or so and I actually think you get much better value for money buying off-the-peg trousers compared to having them made at a tailor\'s shop. Tailored clothing is not the bargain it once was.</p>\n<p>The one massive disadvantage of buying trousers from a department store is if you need them altered and taken up an inch or two. Most department store staff have never heard of &lsquo;invisible stitching\' and I could cry when I think of some of the &lsquo;dog\'s dinners\' I\'ve had presented to me in the name of trouser alterations. If you\'ve got time on your hands, buy the trousers and seek out one of those roadside sewing machinists. They\'ll do a much better job.</p>\n<p><strong>Socks</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>don\'t make the fatal mistake of not paying attention to your socks. When you\'re sitting on your teacher\'s chair or sitting around the conference table at a school meeting, your ankles are exposed for all the world to see. Go for thin woolen or cotton&nbsp;business socks in dark colors available from all good department stores - and avoid the street vendors with their five pairs for a hundred baht deals.</p>\n<p><strong>Shoes</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I take a size nine and a half shoe (no idea what that is in that fancy European system) and I\'ve never had a problem finding good footwear. Although this guide is aimed chiefly at male teachers, it\'s worth mentioning that my wife takes a size eight and a half and can NEVER find shoes to fit her. So if you\'re a lady and you\'ve got plates of meat like a couple of Rhine barges then you might want to bring some shoes from home with you.</p>\n<p>Once again, always go for quality with shoes. Even though a nice pair of &lsquo;shoes for work\' could set you back 3,000 to 5,000 baht, it\'s worth keeping an eye on the sales, when you can pick up some terrific reductions. I once bought a 6,000 baht pair of Timberlands at 70% off. The bargains are out there!</p>\n<p><strong>Jewelry</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Be discreet where jewelry is concerned. A thin necklace here, a tasteful gold ring there - and leave it at that. You\'re far less likely to draw attention to yourself and you\'re far less likely to get mugged on the way home. I suppose that the very yellowy Thai gold might make for a good investment. But don\'t walk into a classroom dripping in the stuff.</p>\n<p><strong>Bags</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nothing marks you out as an English teacher faster than the bag or holdall that you carry your books in. When I\'m sitting on the sky-train, I can spot a chalkie a mile off - and it\'s usually down to the bag. So what do you do? do you go for the antique leather satchel? the fashionable man-bag? or the computer case? What are the choices? Well, we\'ve devoted a whole page of the website to the teacher bag issue <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/whats-your-bag/\">so check it out</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Body Odour and Other Horrible Smells</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The garbage on the street might be piled six feet high and dumping shit into the canals might almost be a national pastime, but when it comes to personal hygiene, The Thais have few equals. They are obsessed with showering and the whole concept of &lsquo;smelling nice\'.</p>\n<p>The Thai word for stink is &lsquo;men\' And if you hear the words &lsquo;ajarn men maak\' it means &lsquo;the teacher absolutely stinks\'. And they ain\'t talking about your teaching ability either. I\'ve seen teachers come into staff-rooms and kick doors and bang desks because their class of Thai teenagers or adults has dropped the &lsquo;you stink\' bombshell.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a smoker or if you\'re inclined to sweat heavily on hot days (and who isn\'t?) then suck polo mints, splash on the cologne, rub in the hand cream or dab on a little perfume. Do whatever you gotta do to make sure that you float into that classroom smelling like a tart\'s window-box.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, spray deodorants are very expensive here. The brand I buy (Nivea) can be over five dollars for a small can. In fact it\'s virtually three times the price it is in the UK. I\'ve never got to the bottom of why it\'s so expensive when the bloody stuff - at least in Boots case - is manufactured in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Vests / Undershirts</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Wearing some sort of undergarment beneath your long-sleeved shirt is always a&nbsp;very wise idea. People seem to&nbsp;think that wearing another layer under your business shirt is going to make you sweat even more but in reality, an undergarment of some cotton description&nbsp;actually keeps you cooler. And of course you avoid those&nbsp;horrible armpit sweat patches.&nbsp;The teacher arriving for a lesson dripping in sweat wins admiration from no-one,&nbsp;regardless of where the taxi or bus broke down and&nbsp;whatever the temperature&nbsp;might be&nbsp;outside.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Finally, if you are sick of the boring old shirt and necktie combination, <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/spice-up-your-teacher-threads/\">we\'ve got some alternative teacher fashions you might be interested in</a>.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/fashion_guide/tieknotted.jpg','2016-09-13 02:09:07',1,'2016-09-13 02:09:07','2016-11-16 16:04:08'),(968,21,'How employable are you?','how-employable-are-you','Take our fun quiz','Find out if you\'re the kind of teacher who any school would be proud to have as part of their team.......or perhaps why no one ever sends you a reply to your e-mail application?','<p><strong><img height=\"138\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/fun_quiz/funquiz5.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;\" width=\"92\" />1.

When you walk into an interview room, you\'ve probably got the position before you\'ve even sat down.</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Mostly Bs</strong><br />Well done! You don\'t take the job of teaching (or yourself) too seriously. You turn up on time, you teach your classes well and students really do learn. But you know when to draw the line. You don\'t mind doing the odd sports day but weekends are for shopping, socializing and leg waxes. You\'re known in the teacher\'s room as the guy who\'ll happily lend someone 500 baht until payday, or the guy who\'ll always have the short answer to a teasing grammar question. You might even go out for the occasional pint with colleagues but there\'s a life outside the classroom. You know when to switch off. <br /><br /><strong>Mostly Cs</strong><br />Let\'s be honest - if friends and family knew the state you were in - they\'d worry. You\'ve burned your bridges at every 250 baht an hour language school in town and a string of ex-girlfriends are banging on your apartment door at all hours. The rent is two weeks overdue, the emergency money from Mom still hasn\'t arrived, and you haven\'t got the funds to get your computer fixed. Basically you\'ve lost contact with the outside world. At least you don\'t have to worry which shirt goes with which necktie. You\'ve probably only got one of each!</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/fun_quiz/employable.jpg','2009-03-30 01:53:03',1,'2009-03-30 01:53:03','2009-11-18 16:04:04'),(969,20,'The teacher\'s diary','the-teachers-diary','One teacher\'s descent into madness','The diary is the sad and heartbreaking four-week journal of Mr Jim Elmdon - a teacher who came, saw, and failed miserably. Keep a box of tissues handy.','<h3>Monday</h3>\n<p>Garfield has nothing on me when it comes to hating Monday mornings. Monday signals the beginning of another week and the passing of my one solitary day off - Sunday. I would love to have the whole damn weekend off but Saturday is a busy day at my school and it brings me in around 2000 baht. I would be 8,000 baht down if I gave up Saturdays and that\'s a sizable chunk of my salary.</p>\n<p>Two things dawn on me this morning - firstly that I forgot to go to the laundry yesterday to pick up my washing and secondly that I haven\'t prepared today\'s lessons. My own absent- mindedness continues to wear me down and I\'m now faced with wearing a pair of socks and underpants that are both very much at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the weekly wash cycle. Still - if I can manage to stay sitting down in class, the students won\'t notice Bart Simpson peeping out from under my trousers.</p>\n<p>I arrive at school at 8.57 for my 9.00 morning class. God, how I hate getting to school and having no time to prepare, not even time for a quick coffee. Water\'s just not the same. Not even time for a quick puff on a cigarette.</p>\n<p>Without caffeine and nicotine, I feel gloomy - very gloomy indeed. Things are made worse by the fact that my group of three teenage girls haven\'t done their homework. They promised implicitly that they\'d do it but no - they lied. My whole lesson plan (checking homework) has gone well and truly out of the window. Is this the moment when I vent all my growing frustration, stand in front of the whiteboard and call them lazy, good for nothing arseholes? Would they complain to the front desk if I did? Would I get the sack? Come to think of it - do I even care?</p>\n<p>During the break I stand and smoke a fag near the fire exit. Great to at last take some nicotine into my lungs, but not so great to hear the weekend war stories from my teaching colleagues. Nana Plaza is going down the pan apparently. Number 27 at the Doll\'s House has a hell of a set of top bollocks on her. And John\'s sexual performance on Saturday night matched that of the great John Holmes himself - she was begging me to stop.</p>\n<p>Difficult for me to either digest or comment. I\'m too busy trying to work out an interesting and entertaining way to teach phrasal verbs. I decide that there isn\'t one. There\'s only one thing that can get me through the next lesson - a hastily photocopied word-search. The students will never use words like \'telescopic\' or \'botanical\' but it\'s the actual searching for the words that they enjoy - and isn\'t that what it\'s all about?</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I\'m summoned to the office of the director of studies. He doesn\'t have a teacher to do the corporate job at XYZ computers out at the Whoflungdung industrial estate. It\'s a nice little earner - 600 baht an hour - if you can put up with the journey which involves a one-hour bus ride, 3 motorcycle taxis and a canal boat.</p>\n<p>I arrive just in time for the class. Six overweight executives wearing glasses sit around a conference table. That\'s actually all that\'s in the room. There\'s no whiteboard, no board markers and no hope. I get out a book called \'presentation skills for a new generation\' and the class ask me about whether I prefer Thai women to farang women. An hour into the lesson and we eventually turn to page 73. It looks dull - it looks deadly dull. I\'m beginning to wish that I\'d made more photocopies of the word-search.</p>\n<p>A two-hour bus journey, 3 motorbike taxis, and a canal boat later, I\'m standing outside my local laundry shop. She hasn\'t finished my washing. God, how I loathe and despise that woman with her nervous and embarrassed Thai smile which translates as \'life is a bag of shit...and this is your bag of shit\' What I really need is a bag of freshly-laundered clothes.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday</h3>\n<p>Standing on a crowded bus to work, I\'m gripped with the paranoia that befalls someone wearing a pair of trousers that don\'t quite meet his shoes - a pair of shoes that could do with a polish actually. Upon arrival at work, I find myself face to face with a worried looking Thai mother who wants to know how little Somchai is progressing in his lessons - is he participating? is he conjugating his verbs in a clear and succinct manner?</p>\n<p>\"Oh he\'s doing fine\"I say instead of \"The kid\'s only five years old for fuck\'s sake - he should be trying to get Mario onto the next level or sticking pictures in books\" I go through the motions of showing concern when all I feel is sorry for the kid.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon I have a new class of six students. I go for the time-honored warm-up of getting them to introduce themselves to the rest of the class. It never ever works, but right now I\'m so snowed under with lesson preparation that it\'s all I can think of. When we get to the fourth student, everyone else is getting bored and fidgety - I\'m getting bored and fidgety. I wonder if it\'s acceptable to start a new class with a word-search.</p>\n<p>I finally have a few hours free in the afternoon and instinctively reach for the Bangkok Post classified. Usual stuff - yet another school running a teacher training course that will \'open doors all over the world\' and other well-worn cliches. A Thai-run school in soi 156 is looking for full-time and part-time teachers. They promise top-rates of pay but can only afford the smallest of ads in the newspaper.</p>\n<p>With my brain on auto-pilot I read through all the horoscopes and the business section, looking at pictures of high-flying businesspeople who aren\'t teachers or who never ever wanted to be. I even have a look at Ajarn Terry\'s lesson plan. Is it going to be the answer to my prayers? No yet again, it\'s a lesson plan that focuses on football, and yet again it\'s aimed at advanced level students. I promise myself to write Terry a letter reminding him that in every single class there will always be one student that has no interest in football whatsoever.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Wednesday</h3>\n<p>Wednesday\'s a quiet day. I have one of those awful teaching schedules with lessons in the morning from 9.00am to 11.30, and then evening lessons from 6.00pm to 8.30. I have a gap in the day which gives me enough time to go shopping.......in Singapore.</p>\n<p>The morning students are tired, the evening students are even worse. I love the way that the office people finish work, and then come to class and just want to be entertained. They view me as some sort of circus act. I want to tell them that I\'m tired too. I\'ve spent six hours wandering around air-conditioned shopping malls. I\'ve read the Bangkok Post six times. I even picked up the Bangkok Metro - that\'s how bored I was. I managed to make a coffee in Starbucks last for an hour, and after filling that time, after filling all that time - I still didn\'t have the motivation to sit down and prepare the lessons.</p>\n<p>Relaxing at home with a good book and desperately trying to keep my eyes open, I receive a phone call. The lady who lives just down the soi wants me to teach her two children on a Saturday morning. She has two little barstards - aged somewhere between 5 and 8. It doesn\'t matter how old they are - let\'s just say that they\'re small. There are two issues here - firstly how much do I charge? and secondly, what do they want to learn?</p>\n<p>\'Just give them conversation\' is a sentence I love. It\'s about as unimaginative and wearisome as any sentence you care to mention. And what exactly madam do you propose that I converse with two small Thai boys about? - China\'s emergence as an Asian superpower? The advantages of holding the world cup in two different countries that have a history of bitter rivalry?</p>\n<p>Saturday morning it is then Khun Somphop. I\'ll see you at 7.30. Oh...the price? (the price, the price, how much is it worth?) There\'s a little man in my head. I call him my spiritual accountant. He\'s saying \"charge her 800 baht an hour, go on. You\'re professional, you\'re qualified, you have a good reputation. Charge the loaded old bag 800 baht an hour\" The words are there in my throat but they won\'t come out \" Shall we say 500 Khun Somphop?\"</p>\n<p>Khun Somphop is more than happy. I couldn\'t really understand her reply but I\'m guessing it\'s the Thai equivalent of \'sorted\'.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday</h3>\n<p>I feel quite good this morning. I\'ve got my best shirt and tie on and I\'m clocking my reflection in the mirror \'not all five Spice Girls please!\' It\'s a good \'money\' day today - an eight lesson day with almost no breaks bar the one-hour break at lunchtime. I\'m going to treat myself today. I\'m going to have sausage and mash or pie and chips at the Toby Jug. Yeah, I know that rice and a few scraps of chicken followed by a bag of fresh pineapple is healthy but I\'m a bleedin\' farang - I need sustenance, I need carbohydrates. I need to occasionally enjoy the delights of an unhealthy diet and not feel guilty about it. Bollocks, after my sausage and mash nosebag, I might even grab a Mars bar from 7-11 and stick two fingers up to the world.</p>\n<p>The day was spoiled by only one thing - a lesson observation. The head teacher came and sat in one of my morning classes - a class that didn\'t go particularly well. After the observation, we sat down together to discuss and analyze the class in detail, as you would expect two professionals involved in Bangkok\'s EFL profession to do. It was a case of pinpointing my weak areas and making suggestions on how I can become a more competent and successful teacher.</p>\n<p>\"You didn\'t move around the class enough\".</p>\n<p>\"Well what do you expect for 220 baht an hour. Why don\'t you get me a pair of bloody roller-skates.\"</p>\n<p>\"The one student participated very little in the class. It was as though you were deliberately trying to avoid asking her questions.\"</p>\n<p>\"I avoid asking her questions because she\'s a complete f***ing retard. Every time she answers a question, she\'s 100% wrong. That takes a special kind of talent.\"</p>\n<p>\"Do you feel that you used the whiteboard correctly?\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, I wrote on it if that\'s what you\'re getting at. It\'s generally what I use the whiteboard for. I do know some teachers who take it off the wall and take the students out for a snowboarding session but they\'re few and far between\"</p>\n<p>Ahhhh, professional development - the cornerstone of any language school.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Friday</h3>\n<p>I start off the morning\'s kids class with a Mr Bean video lesson. It involves watching two episodes of Mr Bean (fills an hour just nicely) and then the kids tell me whether it was good or not. Listen chum, while they keep telling me it\'s good, I\'ll keep on giving the punters what they want.</p>\n<p>I\'m then left with two hours to kill before my next lesson and have no alternative but to mingle with my colleagues in the teachers room. Our teachers room is no different to any other I guess - there\'s a selection of coffee mugs, \'world\'s greatest lover\', \'If you had it last night smile\' you get the picture. Next to them there\'s the communal spoon, which is caked in dried coffee powder, coffee mate and sugar. That\'s about all as regards the comforts and luxuries department.</p>\n<p>In the academic department of the teachers room, there\'s a battered old sofa which literally thousands of people have farted into, and half a dozen ergonomically challenged armchairs. There\'s a bookcase full of textbooks written by Oxford University professors, with titles like \'English Grammar - Full on\', and \'Grammar and more Grammar - the non-illustrated version\' There\'s a crossword game with half the pieces missing and a trivial pursuit with all the answers marked on the cards with a cheap biro. We have a hanging file index where teachers can put ideas for activities, and things that worked well in their lesson. It currently contains a paperclip, a discount coupon for happy meals at Burger King and an old lottery ticket.</p>\n<p>This time spent idly in the teachers room does give me the chance to meet up with some of my teaching colleagues. Thursday is a busy day and most of the staff are present in one form or another.</p>\n<p>There\'s Daphne from the home counties. She\'s here with her husband, who\'s been sent from the UK to work on a big chemical project on the eastern seaboard. She teaches just to keep her hand in and keep her from getting bored. She regales me with stories of last night\'s superb meal at Auberge Dab and that the foie gras is simply \'to die for\'. She keeps getting interrupted by Dagenham Dave, who is trying to fill us all in on why Soi Cowboy just isn\'t the same since the Big Pussy Bar closed. And then there\'s Jemima, darling Jemima, a new graduate from the USA, coming to teach in Thailand because......well, actually she doesn\'t have a reason. The school arranged to pick her up at the airport, arranged an apartment, sorted her out with a schedule, told her where she could buy decent underwear, and still she\'s pissing and moaning.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>And while the rest of the Bangkok population push trolleys around supermarkets and play computer games in the peace and quiet of their homes, I\'m faced with my busiest day of the week.</p>\n<p>Those who don\'t push trolleys or play computer games, come and sit in my lesson with expectant looks on their faces. They expect me to open a little trapdoor in the top of their heads and insert a small component that has \' English Language\' stamped on it. There are horrified looks all round when I imply that learning the English language involves opening books to certain page numbers and performing alien functions such as speaking, moving and getting up out of your chair.</p>\n</p>\n<p>It all comes as quite a shock.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sunday</h3>\n<p>Pissed.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Monday</h3>\n<p>Monday morning promises to be interesting - I\'ve taken on a private course with Mrs Sakakaki, a Japanese housewife who lives in a high rise condo on Sukhumwit 33. I\'ll do one hour of conversation with her and then one hour with her eight-year old son Aoki . With him it will be basically anything I can get away with. I\'ve slipped a cheap coloring book into my satchel as purely a precautionary measure. It may well be a case of &lsquo;close the door little Aoki and let\'s see how many of these animals we can color in - oh a blue kangaroo, you\'re making wonderful progress\'</p>\n<p>I arrive at the condominium well before our scheduled 9\'o\'clock start, which gives the insecurity guard ample time to subject me to the closest of scrutiny. He regards me with a look of contempt that is usually adopted by people inspecting a particularly horrible carpet stain.</p>\n<p>\" I\'m here to see Mrs Sakakaki in apartment 53B\"</p>\n<p>\"Are you an English teacher?\" he asks with a sneer.</p>\n<p>\"Yes I am\" I reply \"Why the f*** else would I be here at 8.30 in the morning sodden with sweat and wearing a cheesy smile\" I mutter the last sentence under my breath.</p>\n<p>Mrs Sakakaki\'s apartment is exactly what you\'d expect to get if you were willing to shell out 80,000 baht a month on rent. It\'s a veritable palace in the sky with numerous doors leading off from the sumptuous main living room. No doubt they are doors that lead to fitted kitchens, master bedrooms, and en suite bathrooms. I find it hard to control my jealousy.</p>\n<p>In the refreshments department, Mrs Sakakaki stretches to a glass of tepid water and a plate of nibbles each predictably wrapped in a thin coating of seaweed. As we spend a painful hour trying to ascertain which part of Japan she\'s from and where her husband is now, little Aoki races around the room on a skateboard periodically crashing into my chair with a resounding thump. To which his mother berates him with the Japanese equivalent of \"go and play in your bedroom my darling\"</p>\n<p>At the end of an hour, I\'ve discovered that she originally hails from Tokyo, her husband is presently at the office, and her favorite place in Thailand is surprisingly, the Bridge over the River Kwai. I\'ve also discovered that her little Aoki should have been strangled at birth.</p>\n<p>Today is something of a kid\'s day for me - I have a class of five-year olds waiting for me back at the school in the afternoon. After 3 weeks spent coloring in animals, I decide to introduce them to the world of drama.</p>\n<p>\"Now kids, I want you to imagine that I\'m a little seed buried deep in the earth, and you\'re the sun. That\'s right you\'re the sun. Now I want you to come over and touch me and watch me grow bigger\" I just pray to god that the director of studies isn\'t ear-wigging this on the other side of the door.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Tuesday</h3>\n<p>I spend the morning at home going through the pages of Ajarn.com and trying to fill some of the gaps in my schedule. I make two phone calls. One is to a school on Sukhumwit 58 that is looking for...wait for it.....English language instructors. I just love that. As though avoiding the word &lsquo;teacher\' is going to conjure up an image of anything different to standing in front of six bored shitless teenagers holding a well-thumbed Interchange. I had already sent my resume to the director so he was expecting my call. After the traditional pleasantries, he goes on to ask me about my resume itself.</p>\n<p>\"I see that your C.V states that you have an interest in English grammar. Can you tell me the difference between a countable and an uncountable noun?\"</p>\n<p>I immediately reply with \"Good heavens man, it says I\'m interested, not f***ing obsessed\" It becomes crystal clear that this is not a job for me.</p>\n<p>The second phone call is to a woman who has advertised for &lsquo;teacher wanted for casual conversation\' She picks up the phone and I ask her for more details. \"Yes, we are three middle-aged Thai women with big hair and faux pearls. We want to sit around an expensive-looking dining table with a farang teacher and make the most appalling grammar mistakes while at the same time pawing each other\'s silk dresses and cackling raucously. For this we are willing to cross your palm with the princely sum of 400 baht\" I ask her if I can have some time to think about it. She reluctantly agrees.</p>\n<p>On the bus journey into work, I sit next to a pretty young girl who is clutching a copy of the Interchange textbook. She\'s obviously on her way to an English class. I can sense that she so desperately wants to start a conversation, but she\'s at the distinct disadvantage of having studied from Jack Richard\'s hallowed text. She spends the whole journey wondering if \"Hey dude, how are they hanging?\" is really the most appropriate conversational gambit.</p>\n<p>Back in school and time to pick up my photocopying. We have a marvelous photocopying system. The teacher decides how many copies of a certain page they need, fills in a photocopying request form and leaves it on the receptionist\'s desk. The following day you walk into the school and find that the request form is exactly where you left it. A truly wonderful system. And why may you ask should a receptionist spend her valuable time fiddling around with an archaic photocopying machine when the time can be spent calling up boyfriends and manicuring her fingernails.</p>\n<p>So after an hour or so of fishing jammed-up paper from the machine\'s internal workings, I can at last retire to the sanctuary of the teacher\'s room. Only to find that the maid is sick and the communal coffee spoon has gone missing.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Next Wednesday</h3>\n<p>On my way out to work I stop in at the reception to pay my apartment bill - 280 baht for international phone calls I never made, and 1,300 baht for air-conditioning that I rarely use. As I leave through the front gates being careful not to wake up the security guard, the apartment owner pips his horn from behind the wheel of his new Mercedes.</p>\n<p>Before work, I drop by the English language bookstore in Siam Square. I\'m desperately looking for something that will spice up my lessons. The choice of books is mind-boggling. All of them seem to have wistful and romantic names like &lsquo;Expressions\', &lsquo;Whispers\', and &lsquo;Lifestyle\' - names that are quite frankly more suited to a luxury panty liner than a range of English language textbooks. It takes me an age to select something I\'m happy with, and at the end of the day I just want to grab the book, slap 250 baht on the counter and fuck off, but no......there\'s the teacher\'s manual to consider. Not to mention the workbook, the video, the class cassette, the student-counseling guide, and the CD Rom with supplementary dance-mat.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I have a private one on one lesson with a Thai businessman. He is the product analyst for one of Bangkok\'s leading pharmaceutical firms. He tells me that it\'s his responsibility to meet with international clients and explain to them the merits of a whole range of cancer-fighting drugs and the advantages that original medicine can have over its generic competitors. After listening to him waffle on for half an hour and with my eyes feeling like they have lead weights attached to them, I ask him to think of some questions to ask me. He pauses for a moment, purses his lips and just comes straight out with the first question.</p>\n<p>\"Do you have lady Thai?\"</p>\n<p>I sink to my knees and beat my head on the carpet. Before breaking down into uncontrollable sobbing. Yes.....I would rather be driving a bus for the Greater Manchester Transport Authority.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Thursday</h3>\n<p>The Director of Studies calls all the teachers in for an emergency meting. We all sit there in a semi-circle and wonder if our jobs are on the line. I\'ve noted down the number of Siam Computer just in case.</p>\n<p>The DoS looks worried. \"We are not attracting anything like the number of students that we should be. From now on, I\'m introducing a student request system. Students will decide which teacher they want to study with. I\'m telling you now - GET FUNNY!\"</p>\n<p>That night I go home and practice in front of the full length mirror. Which side is my funniest? What\'s the laziest letter in the alphabet? - the letter E because it\'s always in bed. I visualize a scenario where no one laughs and so I have to tell the joke a second time. Then the brightest student in the class has to explain it to the rest and any hope that the joke ever had of being even mildly entertaining has vanished forever.</p>\n<p>And I see a vision of six students beating a path to the reception and banging collective fists on the desk. \"That teacher just isn\'t funny. We don\'t want to study with him\"</p>\n<p>I reach deep into my pocket and finger a scrap of paper. It\'s the phone number for Siam Computer.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Friday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>In the morning I have a corporate training class at Bangkok Jams limited. The training manager has complained that I\'m not gearing the lesson towards the needs of the students. The fact that their primary need is simply to distinguish the difference between the &lsquo;he\' and &lsquo;she\' pronoun is lost on him.</p>\n<p>I prepare an ambitious lesson based on the present perfect &lsquo;have you ever\' question word followed by the past participle of the verb. After familiarizing them with the structure by asking them questions such as &lsquo;have you ever been to Lumpini Park?\' and &lsquo;have you ever seen Last tango in Paris?\' I remember the words of the training manager \"Gear the lessons to their needs\"</p>\n<p>So class \"How many of you have ever fallen into the jam?\"</p>\n<p>Silence</p>\n<p>Have you ever dropped a jar of jam? If so, what flavor was it? (I thought that added a nice twist)</p>\n<p>Silence again.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me teacher. What\'s jam?\"</p>\n<p>My Saturday students have all cancelled so I have the rare chance to hit the town tonight. One student is burying her grandmother for the eighth time this year. Still let\'s not dwell on the possibility of it being a white lie - it\'s Buckskin Joe Village for this here language instructor.</p>\n<p>And as the sun goes down and the night owls come out to play, I\'m sitting on a barstool next to a chubby Isarn girl called Noi. I\'m nursing a bottle of Super Leo and wishing I were anywhere else. After a marathon session of 4-in-a-row, she eventually asks the question that we all dread \"you work what in Bangkok?\" She probably wouldn\'t understand the expression &lsquo;language instructor\' so I regrettably plumb for the more universally acceptable \"I\'m a teacher\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh, Bangkok have teacher too much\"</p>\n</p>\n<p>Her grammar is appalling, but I can\'t think of a five-word sentence that conveys a message so brutally honestly..so embarrassingly forthright. Her words are like a dagger to the heart.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Saturday</h3>\n<p>Today I\'ve been invited out for a meal by a group of ex-students. They say that there are only two things in life that are certain - death and taxes. But there are actually three. Whenever you are invited to dinner by students they will invariably choose one of those restaurants that a) specializes in serving up spectacularly average sea-food b) can seat 4,000 Thai customers at the same time c) is near the river, and d) has a menu the size of the Koran.</p>\n<p>\n<p>And yet after an entirety spent ordering, re-ordering and then calling back the waiter to change the order a third time, what arrives at the table? .............shrimp-cakes. Always bloody shrimp-cakes. Why don\'t these restaurants just present their customers with an A4 sheet of paper with shrimp-cakes printed on it in a size 48 font.</p>\n<p>And so the evening passes pleasantly enough with a group of eight people nibbling excitedly on shrimp-cakes and the teacher answering time-honored questions such as \"Why do you live in Thailand?\" and the perpetually vague \"What about your country?\"</p>\n</p>\n<p>And I realize that I\'ve still got Monday\'s lessons to prepare.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Sunday</h3>\n<p>Hangover. No aspirin.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Monday</h3>\n<p>At my corporate class with Bangkok Jams, I bump into the ex-pat general manager, Mr Hertz Van Rental, a cheerful, smiling middle-aged gentleman from the land of clogs, windmills, tulips, peep shows and 24-hour sex shops. Mr Van Rental is a dapper figure (suit by Daks of London, shirt from Reiss, necktie from the Gucci Spring collection, shoes by Churches of Northampton, socks by Burberry, and hair by Keith at Stink - \'would sir like a dab of mousse on that?\'</p>\n<p>This is in sharp contrast to yours truly (shirt from the Mall, Bangkapi, necktie borrowed from a mate, shoes from the Bata clearance sale, and hair by Mr Somchai at Ekkami barbers - \'that\'ll be 50 baht sir, next!\'</p>\n<p>He seems pleased to see me and shakes my hand warmly.</p>\n<p>\"Thank god you\'ve come, we\'ve been sweltering these past few afternoons with the air-conditioning not functioning properly\"</p>\n<p>\"Actually sir, I\'m not here to fix the air-conditioning. I think you\'ll find that\'s a job for a Thai. I\'m here to teach English to your staff\"</p>\n<p>\" Oh I\'m so sorry, I thought you were here about the air-con\"</p>\n<p>How we both laughed. What a lovely man.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I\'d prepared a lesson on ailments and cures for my conversation class of some 8 students. It involved holding up a series of pictures showing common maladies such as a sore throat and a backache. The class then had to tell me what they would do if they suffered from such an affliction.</p>\n<p>I held up the picture of a man with a toothache.</p>\n<p>\"Go to the pharmacy\" shouted the class in unison.</p>\n<p>\"Ok, yes, you could go to the pharmacy. What about this picture?\"</p>\n<p>The man with migraine brings about the same response. \"Go to the pharmacy!\" they all shout. A similar pattern develops for the woman with period pain and the man with malaria.</p>\n<p>\"Go to the pharmacy, go to the pharmacy, let\'s all go to the bloody pharmacy. Let\'s forget about the power of healing with the mind, home remedies, hypnotherapy, reflexology, let\'s all go to the bloody pharmacy!</p>\n<p>The vein on my forehead starts to glow bright purple, which always happens when I get mad.</p>\n<p>A silence descends on the class as though a naked man has just run through the room. I have, in what is referred to on EFL training courses, lost them.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>The following Tuesday</h3>\n<p>Chinese New Year - Student cancellations threw the whole day into turmoil. It seems that my flock would rather stay at home and gorge themselves stupid than come to my English class and study the present perfect passive. Whichever way you look at it, I lost 4 periods of teaching. To make matters worse the director of studies says that we have to show compassion toward the students and not charge them for late cancellations on this special day. I just stood there a quivering wreck. But I have bills to pay - the laundry woman always has 800 baht off me on the 15th of every month. And then there\'s the phone bill. I\'ll get cut off If I don\'t pay within 3 days and it costs 2000 baht to be re-connected. What am I going to do?</p>\n<p>I approach the director of studies and ask him if there\'s any chance of an advance on my salary - just 1000 baht will tide me over.</p>\n<p>Asking for an advance is every teacher\'s nightmare. Not only because it tells the world that you are totally incapable of handling your finances but because of the humiliation of going through the \'getting an advance\' procedure. It involves informing the one member of Thai staff that you particularly loathe, who will in turn make a huge play of asking exactly what it\'s for before she conveys the problem to every other member of staff including the cleaner and the bloke delivering the water. You just have to sit there at the reception counter in full view of students and student mothers while the receptionist from hell reaches behind her to take down a huge ledger into which she enters the total amount to be advanced. All that then remains is for her to check your passport, teacher identity card, work permit and to post your name on the teacher\'s notice-board on a sheet of A4 paper with the words \'ADVANCES FOR FEBRUARY\' cunningly created with Microsoft Wordart.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, in my appalling pidgin Thai, I explain to the laundry woman about needing to show compassion toward the students who have had to cancel lessons so they can enjoy the new year festivities in the bosom of their family. She listens intently, occasionally shaking her head in mild sympathy, and when my sob story is complete and it is obvious that no money will be forthcoming, she stares at me and mutters \'arsehole\'. Happy New Year love.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Wednesday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Once more I\'m calling around after jobs advertised in the Bangkok Post. British American are claiming that if I\'m serious about teaching then I shouldn\'t consider working for anyone else, and Siam Computer are promising new improved pay rates. The Christian school on soi 71 is looking for new teachers, as it does every month, and Adacac are looking for their fifth academic director in a fortnight. One school is looking for \'professional teachers - you need to be either male or female\' I feel like calling them up and asking what other categories applicants might fall into, and another school promises \'loads of work for the right teacher\'. I have a huge problem with the expression \'the right teacher\' because it usually means a guy fresh off the boat who will happily teach a 50-hour schedule and not ask for advances.</p>\n<p>I resign myself to staying at home with the bane of my life - the devious Noi. This girl shows me so much affection and all she asks in return is a roof over her head, the opportunity to play cards twice a week with the girl on the fourth floor, the freedom to spend hours chatting with the motorbike taxi drivers at the end of the soi, and 500 baht a day to put clothes on her back and bread on the table. Realising that I\'m going to be under her feet all day, she retires to the balcony and rustles me up an omelette (the Thai equivalent of spam and chips) Is this what I get for my 500 baht?</p>\n<p>In the evening I have an interview at the imaginatively named \' School of English Language \' on Thonglor soi 45/3. It\'s mid-way between 45/9 and 45/11 so you\'ll understand why it took me two hours to find the bloody place. Being 2 hours late and sweating profusely from both armpits didn\'t do much to endear me to the interviewer so to show his impatience and arrogance, he launched straight into a grammar test.</p>\n<p>\"How would you teach adverbs of frequency?\"</p>\n<p>Ah, here was a double whammy - he wants to know about my teaching style and also if I know what an adverb of frequency is. I spend the next five minutes enlightening him as to the subtleties and how best to make students understand. But as often happens in these situations, I get too clever. I tell him that \'often\' is an adverb of frequency but \'I often go to the movie theatre\' could mean once a week, whereas \'I often go to the dentist\' might convey the idea of twice a year, so it really depends on the situation.</p>\n</p>\n<p>The interviewer thanks me for coming and says he\'ll be in touch. I have no doubt whatsoever that the moment my back was turned, he scribbled the word \'smartarse\' across my resume and shoved it in the bin.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Thursday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>I have an interesting morning in store after Wednesday\'s enforced day off and zero baht going into my bank account. The director of studies is sick and he\'s asked me to step in and interview some potential teachers. The first guy is an American. It\'s obvious he\'s an American the moment he walks through the door - the shirt and tie with a baseball cap back to front are a dead giveaway. He introduces himself as Chuck De Vittori, or some other pitcher/ESPN/college football/running quarterback type name. It\'s obvious when he starts to talk about paid return flights home, annual bonuses and free education for his kids that he\'s probably got the wrong address....in the wrong city of the wrong country. Next!</p>\n<p>Charlie Simpson is an interesting fella. Well educated, qualified, a history of being involved in top management, could this man be the answer to all our prayers? I listen with interest as he furnishes me with stories of winning billion dollar contracts and looking for a career change at 57. There\'s something sinister about him though - he\'s reluctant to give me a contact phone number and he\'s a little sketchy about what he was up to between 1962 and 1985. His e-mail address \'ilovenanaplaza at hotmail.com doesn\'t do him any favors either.</p>\n<p>The best of the bunch is easily young Igor from the Balkan states. He\'s enthusiastic and energetic and more importantly willing to work for peanuts. I tell him about a nice little corporate job we\'ve got coming up - just past Ayutthaya. 70 kilometres past to be exact. Don\'t worry though Igor (my voice lowers to a whisper) we\'re gonna stick 200 baht travel money in yer sky rocket. What can you do in the class? Just give \'em conversation me old son but for f*** sake don\'t mention Bulgaria or any of the other Wombles. I turn to the receptionist and tell her to \'put this man on the payroll\'. We shake hands and I end the interview the way I end every interview \"Welcome aboard, I hope this is the beginning of a long and happy working relationship between us. Or at least until you\'ve finished the contract\" He expresses his deepest gratitude. At least I think it was his deepest gratitude. Difficult to understand that thick Eastern European accent at times.</p>\n<p>In the evening, I do a private lesson with a girl from the next apartment. She comes round to my room with a bag of pineapple and her 300 baht tuition money (well you can\'t charge neighbors too much can you). We both sit perched on the edge of the nylon duvet and talk about what she\'s done at school today. Despite my pleas to the devious Noi to make herself scarce while I\'m teaching, Noi sits on the floor watching a third rate Thai soap opera and laughing loudly for no apparent reason. Unable to take any more of these interruptions, I lash out at her with my foot and tell her to go and do something useful like make me an omelette. My private student is then witness to a whole half-hour of name-calling and face-slapping, which ends with a Thai girl being locked in the bathroom. My private student hands me my 300 baht with a trembling hand. \"I think Phi Noi is angry\"</p>\n</p>\n<p>\"No, she\'ll be OK later. Same time next week then?\"</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Friday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Early start this morning. I teach an executive from 7.30-9.00 before he starts work. The pay is good but who in their right mind would want to study at this time of the day? Is he in fact human? And so we sit in his pokey little office - an insomniac executive who obviously hates his wife and can\'t wait to leave home in the morning, and a teacher wearing the face of a man who has had no breakfast, too little sleep and no time for a decent bowel movement. By 10.00 in the morning I\'m exhausted.</p>\n<p>Friday is workshop day. I love the word \'workshop\'. I\'m positive that it was brought into academic circles by radical feminists . . . simply because I blame them for everything else. The word workshop should be used to describe an environment of wooden work surfaces and blokes in grimy overalls with a pencil stuck behind their ear. But no - at our school it\'s the opportunity for the only teacher with an RSA certificate to stand up and bore us to death for two hours. Today\'s workshop is titled - &lsquo;Should we be overloading young learners with grammar rules?\'. Last week\'s was just as exciting - \'Can we let students run wild with role-plays?\'</p>\n</p>\n<p>The answer to both questions is obviously &lsquo;No\' so why do we need two hours to discuss it? Why don\'t we get it over with in five minutes and head down to Toi\'s bar for the happy hour? Oh I\'m sorry - it\'s called professional development. I knew I was missing the point somewhere.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Saturday</h3>\n<p>\n<p>This weekend I\'ve been invited by a group of students to \'do Pattaya\'.</p>\n<p>There are actually two ways to \'do Pattaya\' - the Thai way and the farang way. The farang way involves copious amounts of lager, a simple but comfortable hotel room with a mini-bar and a queen-size bed, the obligatory run-in with a mouthy ladyboy, pie and chips at an establishment known as the Red Lion or the Rovers Return, a stroll along the beach road, the hire of an obscenely large motorcycle, a smile and an offer you can\'t refuse from a rakish freelancer, and getting legged by a bunch of Thai hoodlums.</p>\n</p>\n<p>The Thai version consists of 2 days in Naklua (which isn\'t really Pattaya at all), a makeshift bed on the floor of a ludicrously small living room, a guitar, an icebox, a f***ing banana boat, and the opportunity to stick your head in a bowl of noodles five times in the same day.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Sunday</h3>\n<p>I can\'t remember ever being happier than when we rolled into Ekkami bus station at 6pm on a Sunday evening.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Monday after</h3>\n<p>Disaster strikes as early as Monday morning. I\'m in the office of Khun Amarit, my three times a week private student. He wants to cancel his lessons for a fortnight.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m going on a business trip to Rio De Janeiro \" he tells me.</p>\n<p>I can barely control my emotions as he delivers this crippling body blow. My bottom lip begins to quiver as I see a potential 8,000 baht disappear before my very eyes.</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t go Khun Amarit. Please don\'t go\"</p>\n<p>\"I beg your pardon\"</p>\n<p>\"Please don\'t go. Rio \'s crap. It\'s over-rated. The girls on the beach positively wobble with cellulite, and homeless kids will pester you at every turn. Take my word for it - Rio sucks. Even that statue of the bloke with his arms out isn\'t as impressive as you think when you\'re close up\"</p>\n<p>\"But my company are sending me. It\'s the annual regional sales conference and I\'m the token Thai person\"</p>\n<p>By now Khun Amarit has walked to the other side of his spacious office to replenish his coffee cup while pulling me along by his trouser leg. I am wailing hysterically.</p>\n<p>\"What am I going to do! There\'s no bloody work out there!\"</p>\n<p>\"It\'s only two weeks\"</p>\n<p>\"It\'s 8,000 baht\" I cry. And then I immediately stop dribbling snot as an idea comes like a bolt from the blue.</p>\n<p>\"What about your daughter? You always say that you want her to study English\"</p>\n<p>\"But she\'s only 6 weeks old\"</p>\n<p>\" So what! Start &lsquo;em young\"</p>\n<p>I have an afternoon conversation class, which consists of three male teenagers who should, in all honestly, be taken out into a forest, any forest, and shot painlessly in the back of the head. As you may guess it\'s a class I don\'t really look forward to.</p>\n<p>I decide to lighten things up a little by playing a game called 20 Questions. Briefly, you choose one student to stand in front of the class and they must imagine that they are a famous person. The remaining students ask direct questions such as \"Are you male?\" or \"Are you a movie star?\" In theory, the game becomes one big raucous party swing-a-long as the clock counts down and the students fight each other to ask the very last direct question - the one that will reveal the identity of the famous person.</p>\n<p>This is how the game goes when you play it with a group of Thai students.</p>\n<p>First question. \"Are you black?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes\"</p>\n<p>\"Michael Jackson\"</p>\n<p>Wow that was quick! says the teacher, trying to desperately inject some kind of enthusiasm into the proceedings but failing dismally. Let\'s have another one.</p>\n<p>\"Are you a movie star?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes\"</p>\n<p>\"Julia Roberts\"</p>\n<p>I don\'t know one single teacher in the entire f***ing universe who has any success with this game. I think it\'s referred to as a &lsquo;lesson filler\' because you end up wanting to actually fill the students in.</p>\n<p>I do get my own back though. When it\'s my turn to be the famous person, none of them can guess that I am in fact Donald Sutherland from 1973\'s Don\'t Look Now, and they struggle even more with Patrick Troughton, who was quite superb as the flamboyant time-lord Dr Who before Jon Pertwee assumed the role. I punch the air having won the game yet again. Fuckwits!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday after</h3>\n<p>\n<p>This morning I\'m covering two writing classes for a colleague who has gone on a visa run to Penang. My thoughts are with him as I sit in the teacher\'s room looking over his lesson plan sheet. Right now, he\'ll be at Hat Yai station tucking into barbecued chicken on a skewer ( it\'s all you can eat when you travel by train in Thailand). He\'ll have no doubt had a restless night\'s sleep, tossing and turning to the pitch and roll of the railway carriage but you can guarantee that the last thing on his mind will be whether my substitution of his writing lessons goes smoothly or not.</p>\n<p>We have a system at the school where any teacher who goes on a visa run or buggers off to a tropical island for a month has to fill in a lesson substitution sheet. This invaluable piece of A4 size paper tells the substitution teacher the name and size of the class, the textbook to use, the page number to start on, and the work to cover. The theory is that the substitute teacher can just walk into the class unprepared and perhaps even a little pissed, turn to the lesson plan sheet and bingo - a blind man could teach the lesson - for all the notes and lesson plan have been carefully documented. Except today.</p>\n<p>There is just one short sentence written in the &lsquo;comments\' section. It simply says &lsquo;give them conversation, see you Monday\'. No page number, no instructions, no hint of what the class did in the last lesson - naff all. I am for want of a better expression - f*cked.</p>\n<p>The first class is an advanced writing class. I ask them what they\'ve been doing the past few weeks. Apparently Ajarn Mick (as the students call him) has spent most of the time telling the students about his favorite eating-places in the capital - the German beer-garden in Sukhumwit soi 7, the Rex Hotel coffee shop after 2.00am, and at the weekends, he\'s quite partial to a few hours at the Siam Hotel on Petchburi Road. I change the subject quickly; it\'s quite obvious that Mad Mick (as the teachers call him) has not spent much time on topic sentences and thesis statements.</p>\n<p>The class is in for a treat today. I\'m going to play them six pieces of music and I want them to let their imaginations run wild and write down what comes into their heads. Where are they? Who are they? What is the environment like? I start off with &lsquo;Mars\' from the Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. As the cymbals crash and the drums beat louder ever louder, I tell the class that I feel like a gladiator marching to the stadium. Today I\'m going to fight the most famous gladiator in the whole of Rome - a duel to the death. The crowd is cheering and mothers hold small children above their head so they can see their all-conquering hero. You get the idea.</p>\n<p>I give the class something a little more mellow - a nice Spanish guitar concerto by John Williams. When I listen to it, it evokes images of hot passionate Senoritas. I can almost smell the camp-fires burning in the woods of deepest Cataluna and I can almost smell the paella drowned in olive oil and brimming with freshly caught mussels and squid. When I ask the class of 7 students what is brought to mind by the beautiful flamenco music, four of them all agree that it reminds them of window-shopping in the department store, two of them can\'t think of anything to save their lives, and one has fallen asleep.</p>\n<p>I decide to abandon the impromptu music lesson and get the students to ask me questions about my family (it never works but we keep trying). One of the students asks if my grandmother is still alive, to which I reply that she died about 15 years ago. After a slight pause, I decide to add a supplementary comment, &lsquo;she\'s still a good shag though\'.</p>\n<p>I\'m only joking. I didn\'t really say that. But I would have loved to. Anything, positively anything to just get one spark of reaction from that class. Just for me to see one inquisitive tilt of the head, one furrowed brow or one look of sheer horror and it would have been worth it.</p>\n</p>\n<p>The second writing class is a lower level of ability so I decide to not set them too taxing an assignment. The instructions are simple - draw a plan of your home or apartment and write a spatial description composition based on that plan. The students set about the task with admirable enthusiasm. As I wander around looking at the plans and sketches, it strikes me how many of the students live in palatial mansions and luxury condominiums. There are servant\'s quarters, maid\'s rooms, fruit orchards, wrought iron gates, and driveways with ample parking. Far removed from my own 4,000 baht a month studio apartment (read bed-sit) decorated by the devious Noi and featuring a plastic clothes rail with a blue and white striped nylon cover, a tiny balcony dominated by an overworked rice cooker, pink plastic shelving units and a poster by the bathroom door that depicts a toddler in a leather jacket and sunglasses and bears the timeless legend &lsquo;Hey man I\'m cool\'. My devious Noi - the queen of tat!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Wednesday after</h3>\n<p>\n<p>I wake up in that familiar state of mild panic - I forgot to go to the laundry yet again. Why is it that I can\'t organize my life into any kind of shape or routine? Why can\'t I eat three meals a day at the times my Mom recommended, and is it so difficult to make sure that there are always clean clothes hanging in the closet and my rent and bills get paid on time? I was never ever this disorganized when I lived with my parents. I swing my legs out of bed and go across to the linen basket (actually, it\'s a black bin-liner). I have one clean shirt - it used to be white but is now an insipid gray. In addition, it has a stain on the breast pocket, which is unmistakably chicken tikka masala. That stuff just never comes out.</p>\n<p>I look across at the devious Noi lying fast asleep under crumpled sheets and decide to give her a poke (a poke in the &lsquo;I need a shirt ironed\' sense) She groans audibly \"araaaay\" and goes back to dreaming about being let loose in a Las Vegas casino with unlimited spending money. I\'m going to have to iron the shirt myself. A quick glance at the clock tells me that I have exactly 40 minutes to iron a shirt, take a shower, do my hair and get to Mrs Sakomoto\'s apartment on Sukhumwit 39. Every minute has to count. It dawns on me that I have never had to iron a shirt before - my Mom never showed me. But I do as best as I can - a squirt of spray starch here and a squirt there. For a novice ironer like me, I still have to endure the challenge of ironing on one of those low ironing boards much favored by the Thais - when you turn the shirt over, the sleeve that you\'ve just done drags across the floor and becomes a mass of creases again (which rather defeats the whole purpose methinks)</p>\n</p>\n<p>Eventually I\'m away out of the apartment - no lesson plan, late for the lesson anyway, and a crap shirt. The insecurity guard wants to tell me about last night\'s football but I\'ve no time to offer opinions. Petchburi Road is bumper to bumper - total gridlock. I approach the loathsome gaggle of motorcycle taxi drivers on the corner of my sub-soi. \"I apologize for disturbing your game of bottle-top checkers but could one of you fine gentleman ferry me from here to Sukhumwit 39 for forty baht and a song?\" The fattest and most aggressive member of the group removes his sunglasses and takes a sharp intake of breath. \"80 baht - take it or leave it\" I realize that negotiation is out of the question. The traffic is getting heavier by the second and Mrs Sakamoto will be by now busy arranging a pen and notebook on the living room table. I reluctantly accept fat-boy\'s extortionate offer. When I get to Mrs Sakamoto\'s palace in the sky, I\'m still fifteen minutes late. She then spends the next hour wrestling with the concept of British time vs American time, and all the while she\'s trying to work out what kind of stain that could be on my breast pocket.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday after</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Today yet again, I get into another argument with the Thai staff. This time it\'s over the distribution of board markers. One of the receptionists is in charge of making sure that no teacher exceeds their allowance of three new board markers per month. Woe betides the teacher who dares to ask for a fourth new board marker! His name shall be blackened in the grim recesses of the teacher\'s room for all eternity. He shall be reminded that the items in question are 14 baht each from Makro and under no circumstances should they be used so generously. I blow my top and ask &lsquo;marker pen girl\' why she isn\'t as protective with her virginity as she is with the marker pens. After a moment\'s silence, I go off to my lesson and marker pen girl retreats to the toilet to reapply her mascara.</p>\n<p>Later that day, I\'m called into the director\'s office. \"Take a seat,\" he says</p>\n<p>\"Where do you want me to take it?\" I reply.</p>\n<p>I can see he\'s in no mood for jokes. \"Jim, the Thai staff are frightened of you\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh come on, they know what I\'m like. I don\'t really mean it\"</p>\n<p>\"Jim, the one receptionist is still in the toilet. She refuses to come out. What\'s her name? You know - the one that\'s in charge of the board markers\"</p>\n<p>\"That was just something out of nothing\"</p>\n<p>\" Jim, you\'re a fine teacher. You\'re one of the best we\'ve got. You\'re a professional and we\'re happy to have you on board\"</p>\n<p>At this stage, my heart is almost bleeding. Someone get me the silver goblet.</p>\n<p>I\'m in no mood for this shit.</p>\n<p>\"The Thai staff just can\'t do their job properly. They forget to take messages, they screw up my pay and what\'s more - what is a teacher supposed to write with?\"</p>\n<p>The director looks at me and flashes a half-smile.</p>\n<p>\"Just try to be a little more culturally sensitive, that\'s all I ask\"</p>\n</p>\n<p>I leave his office. I don\'t need any of this. Perhaps it\'s time for a change of direction? But can I really see myself handing out leaflets in Siam Square while wearing a huge dinner-plate size badge that says quite simply &lsquo;I love Herbalife\' and putting up with people calling me a prat. Or calling up Australians at 4.00 in the morning Bangkok time and telling them that I\'m about to offer them the financial opportunity of a lifetime. No, that\'s definitely not me.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Friday after</h3>\n<p>\n<p>This morning there\'s a teachers\' meeting on the agenda. Twelve teachers of varying financial status and each with the weight of the world on their shoulders sit around a circular table waiting for the arrival of the director of studies. In the middle of the table, there is a jug of iced water and the obligatory Dunkin\' Donuts party pack containing 12 donuts for 109 baht. I never look forward to teachers\'meetings, but when the one teacher I really don\'t get along with dips in and takes the double chocolate, I look forward to them even less.</p>\n<p>Being the perfect gentleman, I let everyone else select their choice of donut and find that I\'m left with the one covered in pink icing sugar. A donut which would have no doubt made me very happy had I been seven years old, wearing a knitted V-neck sweater and a guest at Tracey Hargreave\'s birthday party.</p>\n<p>The Director of Studies arrives unshaven and hungover. \"Good night at the Cowboy was it?\"</p>\n<p>\"Ay, not bad. There are some great looking birds in that Titty Twister bar. Sorry ladies I shouldn\'t be saying that, hahahaha\"</p>\n<p>He smiles through crooked yellow teeth. Nothing like a cheap sexual comment in front of the female teaching staff to really break the ice.</p>\n<p>The female teaching staff, it must be said, are used to it by now. They are used to having their arses playfully slapped while they\'re bent over the photocopier. They are used to eating one of those cylindrical ice lollies and one of the male staff saying \"I thought you\'d be able to get all that in your mouth in one go\"</p>\n<p>They are used to hearing teacher\'s room banter littered with references to broken condoms, padded bar-bills, and regulation closing times. Oh, they are used to all that.</p>\n<p>Cheap sexual innuendo aside, today we are 13 professionals gathered in one room for the sole purpose of improving the standards of the school. There are over a dozen points to discuss, debate, analyze, and comment on. Some teachers are not filling in their pedagogical cards correctly. I\'m not really bothered about that. I\'m only concerned as to why we can\'t refer to them as attendance sheets. Is it that the term &lsquo;attendance sheet\' isn\'t stuffy, overbearing and academic enough? The DOS drones on. \"When you prepare a lesson, don\'t forget your 3 P\'s - Production, Practice, and the other one\"</p>\n<p>I personally prefer to have two sections in a lesson plan - what I\'m going to teach, and what they\'re going to learn. It\'s really that simple.</p>\n<p>I can\'t be bothered to listen to the rest of the meeting. I don\'t think anyone can. After all, today is payday.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I pick up 34, 652 baht after tax deductions and a contribution to the school health insurance scheme. This is what makes the job worthwhile. It\'s Friday night, your wallet\'s stuffed with Thai baht, and the world\'s your oyster. Come 9pm I\'m sitting in an outside bar at Clinton Plaza surrounded by ladies and lady drinks. Tonight I\'m not a teacher, I\'m Hugh Hefner, Antonio Banderas and any other fanny magnet you care to mention. The girls are laughing hysterically at my crappy jokes and appalling Thai and I sit there like the lord of the manor - the king of all I survey. \"Another drink Lek? Get yourself one in\" I peel off another 500 baht bill from my sweaty wad. Tomorrow\'s another day. Live for the moment.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday after</h3>\n<p>\n<p>I\'ve volunteered to do a few extra classes. Little bit of overtime if you like. Six hours of kid\'s classes. Six hours of Incey Wincey Spider climbed a little spout. Six hours of I\'m a teapot, what the f*** are you? Six hours of look at me, I\'m walking on a floor made of treacle. Six hours of babysitting while the sofas in reception are occupied by mothers in designer clothes sitting on their fat, idle backsides.</p>\n</p>\n<p>On the journey to work by sky-train, I sit opposite a young man preparing a lesson in full view of the commuting massive. He scribbles notes on a jotter pad while the cover of his Interchange 2 textbook flaps around for all and sundry to see. I am so full of admiration for people who see no shame in being a Bangkok English teacher. Here is a young guy putting his heart and soul into the language education of Thailand\'s baby boom generation and he doesn\'t care who knows it. When the train stops at Ekkami, a young European-looking executive gets on board. He sits down next to me to take the weight off his suit. No sooner has he sat down than his mobile phone goes off. The phone is tiny and expensive - you can barely see it when it\'s pressed against an ear. There begins a protracted conversation, which contains loud references to &lsquo;closing down the Stockholm office\' and &lsquo;getting Ludwig to meet the client at the Sheraton on Monday\'. The teacher puts his lesson preparation to one side and listens to the one-sided conversation. When the phone call is finished, the teacher and executive look at each other. They each have only one question on their mind &lsquo;What\'s it like being you?\'</p>\n<hr />','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/tdiary.jpg','2004-11-18 03:31:17',1,'2004-11-18 03:31:17','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(970,21,'Thailand on 30K a month','thailand-on-30k-a-month','Is it feast or famine?','With many teaching positions on the ajarn jobs page paying 30,000 baht a month (some even less) forum member Hollow has decided to put things to the test and record his daily spend.

At 5800Bht and only 28 Sqm (excluding bathroom and balcony) some might call it pricey and claustrophobic, I call it a bargain and here\'s why. The building itself is modern and very secure, with an electronic key-card swipe entrance and cameras in the hallways.</p>\n<p>There is a small convince store just outside and the guy that runs the building is friendly, helpful and always just a call away.The (freshly painted) walls are thick leaving my room almost silent when the sliding doors onto the balcony are shut. The room itself is on the second floor and is completely furnished with contemporary fitted wardrobe, king sized bed, chair, desk, side table, cabinet and shelving unit. There is a 22 inch flat screen Samsung TV, Microwave, Kettle, Toaster, Fridge, fan, new remote-controlled air-con unit, glasses, cups, plates and even some chop sticks! There is also Wi-fi and a phone.</p>\n<p>The bathroom is a wet-room and is about 4 sqm, it\'s clean, has hot water high pressure shower, sink, mirror and western flushing toilet. The balcony is the same size as the loo (a bit smaller) and houses a washer dryer! The bad sides are - There is a mosque not far away and so you get the stupid praying sounds that you can hear even when the doors are closed and it\'s only a really small soi so you need to walk out and down another one till you can hail a taxi. Accommodation total = 5800 Baht.</p>\n<p>I wanted to go to Big C this morning to stock up but unfortunately something came up with a distraught friend and his relationship problems so I had to spend the morning listening to his tales of woe instead. I\'ll be going tomorrow and have already made a list of all the supplies I\'ll be getting. But I did buy a few things from 7/11 to tide me over until then.</p>\n<p>Small sachet of Nescafe red cup = 30 baht.<br />1 Litre of Milk = 27 baht.<br />Half loaf of white bread = 22 baht.<br />4 pack of butter sachets = 12 baht.<br />1 small jar of raspberry jam = 16 baht.<br />1 Large bottle of water = 12 baht.<br />Packet of chocolate biscuits = 10 baht.<br />2 large bottles of Leo beer = 84 baht.<br />1 pot of Tom Yam mamma noodles = 13 baht.<br />Pack of 4 eggs = 12 baht.<br />Small bottle of orange juice = 15 baht.<br />1 small bottle of coke = 10 baht.<br />Pack of LM red cigarettes = 64 baht. <br />Breakfast - 2 slices of toast with butter and jam, big mug of coffee, small bottle of orange juice, boiled egg with 1 slice of toast. <br />Lunch - Pot of Tom yam noodles, small bottle of coke.= Free!<br />Dinner - Bowl of noodle soup with pork slices and glass of water from small street stall beside apartment = 30 baht.<br />Snacks - Cup of coffee, chocolate biscuit</p>\n<p>Leisure - 10 Cigarettes, two bottles of beer = Free!<br />Other expenses - Phone Card = 500 baht.<br />Days activities - Read book, surfed Web, watched TV, talked to neighbours, listen to tales of woe, threw stuff at soi dogs from balcony = Free!</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 6657 baht<br />Running total = 6657 baht</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments</strong><br />This could be a very interesting journey through one month in the life of an English teacher. What\'s always at the back of my mind here is that teachers were earning 30,000 baht a month almost twenty years ago. I know because I was one of them! However, times have changed considerably. Back then all you had to worry about was accommodation and putting food in your belly, oh and the occasional weekend away. Nowadays there are so many things vying for the dollar in your pocket - computers, internet, mobile phones, lattes at Starbucks - the list is endless.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday May 2nd</h3>\n<p>I managed to get down to Big C to stock up, although I did get tempted along the way (Damn you McDonalds! ) Here\'s the break down of the trip -</p>\n<p>Small bottle of water from 7/11 = 6 bht<br />BTS ride, Surasak - Siam (4 stops) = 25 baht<br />2 litres of Milk = 79 baht<br />Jar of instant Nescafe Red Cup =68 baht<br />8 pack of butter sachets = 50 baht<br />Loaf of white bread = 28 baht<br />8 Eggs = 49 baht<br />Pack of 12 slices of ham = 65 baht<br />Pack of 12 cheese slices = 145 baht<br />12 Large potatoes =114 baht<br />3 half cans of Baked beans = 63 (21 a tin) baht<br />Jar of Raspberry Jam = 34 baht<br />Bottle of washing up liquid = 30 baht<br />Bottle of Shampoo = 27 baht<br />Large box of Corn Flakes = 148 baht<br />Can of Shaving Foam = 66 baht<br />Can of Deodorant = 68 baht<br />Large bottle of Mouth Wash = 42 baht<br />Toothpaste = 18 baht<br />Large sized Talcum powder = 22 baht<br />Hair Gel = 68 baht 10 packs of assorted crisps (potato chips) = 54 baht<br />Large bag of Salt = 10 baht<br />Pack of Cherry Tomatoes = 15 baht<br />Pack of Chocolate biscuits = 10 baht<br />Carton of Orange Juice = 149 (pack of 2 cartons) baht<br />1 Liter of Gilbeys Gin = 399 baht<br />9 Limes = 53 baht<br />6 cans of tonic = 72 (12 a can) baht<br />2 Packs of LM Cigarettes = 99 (49 a pack) baht<br />6 Rolls of Toilet paper = 23 baht<br />4 Strawberry yogurts = 49 baht<br />6 cans of coke = 62 (multi-pack) baht<br />Washing powder = 39 baht<br />Fabric softer = 18 baht<br />Box of 12 condoms = 133 baht<br />Lube = 54 baht<br />3 Large Bags of crisps = 50 baht (deal)<br />6 pack of Tom Yam dry Noodle pots = 67 baht</p>\n<p>I also had to get a Taxi back, I wanted to get the BTS but there was just too much stuff.<br />Taxi = 80 baht (66 plus tip)</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Mug of Coffee, 3 slices of toast, boiled egg, glass of milk <br />Lunch - Super size Mega Mac deal = 155 baht<br />Dinner - Mashed potato with baked beans, can of coke <br />Snacks - Cup of Coffee, Strawberry yogurt, Chocolate biscuit, bag of crisps</p>\n<p>Leisure - I went out last night for a couple of drinks after sinking 4 large gin and tonics at home. I only had to buy 2 G&amp;Ts (at 100 baht each) and had 2 bought for me. I also smoked 16 cigarettes over the course of the day. I went out and got home by BTS (Surasak to Sala-daeng (3 stops) 20 baht each way) Total = 240 baht<br />Other Expenses - Bag of ice from 7/11 = 7 baht.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Spent a lot today but I knew I would, looks like it\'s going to be a frugal week. Morale - Pretty damn good, although the gin helped a lot</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 3054 baht<br />Running total = 9711 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sunday May 3rd</h3>\n<p>So today was a good day concerning outgoings. Going to sleep late, coupled with the fact I \'d a bit of a hangover, it wasn\'t till late on in the day that I could even face eating. (Top tip: Drinking lots will save you money on food the next day!) apart from the water I could\'ve spent nothing, if it wasn\'t for the fact that I was guilt-tripped into buying fruit by certain forum members who commented on the fact I was eating myself into an early grave . It seems that this is already becoming a positive exercise as I\'d never really considered what I was eating before. Anyway, here\'s the breakdown</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Cup of coffee, Large Glass of orange juice, 2 slices of toast<br />Lunch - Ham, cheese and tomato sandwich, half a bag of crisps and cup of coffee <br />Dinner - Mamma pot noodle, can of coke <br />Snacks - Multiple glasses of water, chocolate biscuit, watermelon from street stall = 10 baht</p>\n<p>Leisure - Smoked 5 cigarettes <br />Other Expenses - Filled up 3 large empty bottles with water from dispenser outside apartment = 25baht<br />Activities - Surfed web, watched TV, did some exercise</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - This is where Thailand comes into its own. Even though I felt fragile and wasted most of the day I still felt as though there where so many options in terms of what I could do for minimal cost or even for free. Food of all kinds is cheap, abundant and usually only a few meters away. <br />Morale - Feeling good now that the big expensive chunks are out of the way. Spending the best part of 10 grand in the first couple of days is a little worrying, but when you realize that once they\'re done, keeping topped up is relatively easy and cheap!</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 35 baht<br />Running total = 9746 baht</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments</strong><br />Now that\'s more like it. A whole day in Thailand on 35 baht, or as my grandmother would say - \"seven shillings in the old money\". I\'m getting all nostalgic. It\'s just like going back to the 1950\'s. Not that I was even born then you understand.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Monday May 4th</h3>\n<p>Another enjoyable, cheap day that I hope will become the standard. Here\'s the breakdown.</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Bowl of cereal, Cup of Coffee, Glass of orange juice, 2 slices of toast<br />Lunch - Mamma Pot noodle, can of coke, half bag of crisps<br />Dinner - Full BBQ fish covered in salt and pepper with side salad, chillies and rice from street stall. = 120 baht (100 plus tip)<br />Snacks - Chocolate biscuit, cup of coffee</p>\n<p>Leisure - Smoked 9 cigarettes, 5 decent G&amp;T\'s <br />Other Expenses - None.<br />Activities- Surfed the web, watched movie (Bridge to Terabithia, great family movie that packs an emotion punch) ,worked on various materials for teaching and went onto the the roof of my building and spent the evening drinking G&amp;Ts and talking to some incredibly friendly Thai guys about politics of all things. Weird.</p>\n<p>Days thought = Had a really nice, full and productive day as well as meeting some really interesting people that totally went against the grain in terms of usual Thai behavior. Once again I spent a minimal amount and had no real desire to spend more. If things can continue in this way it looks like I\'ll be on course for a bit of the high life at the weekend (steak and wine, here I come!)<br />Morale = Still feeling good and the drop in temperature over the last few days has really helped maintain low stress levels.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 120 baht<br />Running total = 9866 baht</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Tuesday May 5th (public holiday)</h3>\n<p>Bit of a boring day all together as it was mainly spent sending E-mails, reading and watching downloaded programs. Although I did venture out and about for a bit as I was getting a little cabin feverish</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Cup of Coffee, Glass of Orange, juice and some mixed fruit from a stall = 15 baht<br />Lunch - Beans and cheese on toast, can of coke and chocolate biscuit <br />Dinner - Green Curry with steamed rice and bottle of water from Thai restaurant = 140 baht (120 plus tip)<br />Snacks -Cup of coffee, some crisps and a Cornetto ice cream from 7/11 = 20 baht</p>\n<p>Leisure - Pack of LM red cigarettes from \'mom and pop\' store = 55 baht<br />Other Expenses - BTS ride, Surasak - Chong Nonsi (1 stop) both ways = 40 baht (20 each way)<br />Activities - read, watched the world go by, surfed the web, did some exercise, a little window shopping</p>\n<p>Days Thoughts - Middle of the road in many respects and I was severely tempted to go out and about but I managed to hold strong and think of the weekend. I\'d rather have a few really good nights than a bunch of diluted ones.</p>\n<p>Morale - Felt good by the end of the day due to sticking to my guns and actually doing some decent exercise. Although this was the first day that I began to begrudge the fact that I had to think about money. I\'m sure I could of just thrown caution to the wind and gone out, but with 25 days still to go I don\'t want to end on a low.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 270 baht<br />Running total = 10,136 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Wednesday May 6th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Another day , another dollar. Well a bit more than that actually. I actually bought stuff today! Here\'s the breakdown</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Large cup of coffee, Orange juice, 3 Slices of toast, 2 Boiled eggs<br />Lunch - Sub of the Day deal from Subway = 69 Baht<br />Dinner - 2 sticks of chicken from street vendor and some mamma noodles I already had, can of coke = 40 baht.<br />Snacks - Cup of Coffee, Pack of crisps, chocolate biscuit</p>\n<p>Leisure - Smoked 10 cigarettes and had couple of Gin and Tonics <br />Other Expenses - BBQ bucket = 89 baht, Metal Tongs = 79 baht, Metal Grill = 120 baht, Bag of coal 20 baht = Total 308 Baht.<br />Activities - Set up ma BBQ on my balcony, read a little and worked on some materials for work</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - After looking at all the great cuts of meat while I was at Big C, but not having a way to cook any of them I\'m glad I finally bothered to get a little BBQ. It\'s pretty small and probably won\'t cook very much but it\'s just for me and I can always invest in something a little bigger and better down the line.</p>\n<p>Morale - Feeling good and manly after getting my BBQ. It\'s such a small thing but opens up a lot of possibilities in terms of meals in the future.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 417 baht<br />Running total = 10, 553 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday May 7th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Woke up late this morning feeling a bit dodgy for whatever reason. I considered going to get some stuff for my BBQ, but decided that I\'ll wait until the weekend as I\'ll probably need to replenish some stocks (GIN) anyway and might as well get everything together.</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Cup of coffee, Orange juice, Bowl of cereal<br />Lunch - Beans on Toast, can of coke<br />Dinner - Pack of heated spicey meat and garlic bread from 7/11(Glass of orange juice) = 51Baht<br />Snacks - Cup of Coffee, chocolate biscuit, lots of water</p>\n<p>Leisure - Smoked 5 cigarettes <br />Other Expenses - None <br />Activities - Sat in bed and watched lots of downloaded Anime.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Pretty non-eventful day which a lot of people would probably be bored with. But I managed to get though 10 episodes of Naruto and 10 of Bleach! (For those who even know anything about Anime, or care.)</p>\n<p>Morale - Feeling OK, but defiantly itching to get out drinking, dancing and bagging some new sexy folks! Looks like tomorrow night is going to be an expensive one!</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 51 baht<br />Running total = 10, 604 baht</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments</strong><br />This week\'s spending money has barely topped 900 baht and while it\'s put Hollow\'s budget firmly back on track, I sense the restlessness of a man in his early 20\'s whose exertions over the past five days have been limited to watching Japanese cartoons in bed and fiddling about with a new barbecue. The weekend approaches. The neon lights are beckoning and those Bangkok fleshpots are limbering up in readiness to part a young bloke from his hard-earned cash and throw his Bangkok budget into chaos. All I can say is be strong young man. \"Resist the temptations of the devil and be pure in morning\'s first light\" as my old vicar used to say. It was easy for him though. He never felt that rush you get from the third Heineken sliding down.</p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Friday May 8th</h3>\n<p>Woke up late, had breakfast (Coffee, Orange and toast with eggs) and spent the morning cleaning my room, doing washing and generally mucking about. Had lunch (sandwich, crisps and remaining juice and biscuits) then went down to the shop and bought some ice (7 baht) 2 cans of tonic (28 baht) 3 bottles of Leo beer (126 baht) and some fags (49 baht) I then went home and spent the afternoon finishing off my remaining gin and sinking the beers before showering, dressing and heading out.</p>\n<p>Got the BTS to Siam (4 stops, 25 baht) and met a friend at the Paragon mall for a nice meal at a Japanese restaurant. Had some noodle soup (90 baht) a Sushi platter (265 baht) bottle of sparkling water (65 baht) and a coffee (75 baht). (I also left a 100 baht tip)</p>\n<p>Then I went to BTS Saladaeng (2 stops, 20 baht) and went to a bar and drank 7 G&amp;Ts. (2 were bought for me and I paid for 5 at 115 baht each, and left a 100 baht tip) Then went to a club (300 baht entrance) had a few vodka oranges (I paid for a 2 at 150 baht each and had a few others bought for me) and some shots (I didn\'t pay for them either, woohoo! ) Went back to a friends, bought some more cigarettes (49 baht) and a bowl of noodles from a street stall (30 baht)</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 2,204 baht<br />Running total = 12,808 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday May 9th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Woke up at about noon at a friends and got a Taxi back to my room (100 baht, fare was about 80 and I left a tip) Lay in bed for a bit, showered and then went down to the shop and bought a 1l bottle of Gilbery Gin (450 baht) 4 cans of tonic (56 baht) and some fags at (49 baht) and a 12 pack of condoms (140 baht) Then I got some limes from a stall, along with some chicken sticks and rice (60 baht all in). Then went home, had a decent chunk of gin, then got ready and took the BTS to Saladaeng (2 stops, 20 baht). Went to the same bar/restaurant as the night before and had some chicken and vegetable spring rolls (95 baht) a pitcher of beer (250 baht) and 3 gin and tonics (115 baht).</p>\n<p>It\'s at this point things get a little hazy (and expensive ). I\'d a few more drinks at that bar. I bought some drinks for people and had some bought in return. I went to at least 2 other bars and had several drinks in each of those and then to a \"show\" (It had a 250 baht entrance fee, but I didn\'t have to pay because I\'m a legend ) I also had a few drinks in there. In each place I went to I had a mixture of gin, vodka, beer and shots. Each place had different prices and there where surprise happy hours, rounds, and BOGOF deals. All of that just makes it too hard to list exactly. I got a taxi somewhere and then another taxi somewhere else and spent some more money on other \"stuff\". Suffice to say I spent quite a lot, 2000 baht all in. I know for a fact that I could double that if I actually paid for everything I had, suppose that\'s the benefit of being spectacularly handsome and generally great... and awesome.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Had a great time and caution was most defiantly tossed into the wind. I suppose it goes to show to any potential newbies thinking about heading over to the big mango that if you like to party, be prepared to pay. Although it has to be said that even though I spent a fair whack if I were to do anything similar back in the UK I would have spent 4 or 5 times that amount. If not more. I drank myself into oblivion and for 60 quid. It isn\'t all that bad. Just don\'t expect to be living it up like this, every weekend on 30k.</p>\n<p>Morale - Felt a twinge of guilt about the amount I spent but then I bought myself another drink and I felt fine!</p>\n</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 3,335 baht<br />Running total = 16,143 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sunday May 10th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Today was spent recovering for the most part but I did venture out to the Paragon Mall to watch the new Star Trek film (which was very entertaining by the way) Most of the the remaining food was finished off and I did relapse towards the evening with a couple of beers at a bar. Here\'s the breakdown -</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Water, toast with butter and jam, coffee and a small bowl of cereal <br />Lunch - Toasted ham and cheese sandwich, glass of orange juice <br />Dinner - Spicy pork and vegetable spring rolls with salad (95 baht) 2 bottles of Singer beer in restaurant/bar (75 baht each ) = 245 baht<br />Snacks - Cup of coffee, biscuit, pack of crisps</p>\n<p>Leisure - Pack of cigarettes (49 baht) Cinema ticket (120 baht) Medium popcorn (65 baht) = 234 baht<br />Other Expenses - Sky train (Surasak - Siam 25 baht, each way) = 50 baht.<br />Activities - Went to the cinema, looked at things in shops I couldn\'t afford, surfed the web and read.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Had a good day although the expenses of the previous couple of days began to dawn. Going to have to really clamp down over the next week to keep on target. Morale - Feeling good if a little hungover.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 529 baht<br />Running total = 16,672 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Monday May 11th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Woke up today with renewed vigor and after a quick shower, some exercise and a bite to eat I went out to Big C to replenish my diminished stocks. I also spent the evening toying with death as I finally fired up the barbie. (burgers where good) Here\'s the breakdown -</p>\n<p>2 liters of Milk = 79 baht<br />8 pack of butter sachets = 50 baht<br />Pack of 12 slices of ham = 65 baht<br />Pack of 12 cheese slices = 145 baht<br />Large bottle of shampoo/conditioner = 132 baht<br />4 Strawberry yogurts = 49 baht<br />Bag of 12 apples = 59 baht<br />Half, sliced watermelon = 20 baht<br />20 crab sticks = 20 baht<br />4 large tomatoes = 16 baht<br />Carton or orange juice = 49 baht<br />Bottle of chilli sauce = 22 baht<br />Large bottle of Coke zero = 28 baht<br />2 Packs of LM fags = 98 baht Bottle of Bathroom cleaner (Free bag of fabric softener) = 30 baht<br />Large box of Corn Flakes = 148 baht<br />Loaf of brown bread = 28 baht<br />Can of Air Freshener = 32 baht<br />Box of tea-bags = 50 baht<br />Pack of minced meat = 123 baht<br />Pack of 12 sausages = 161 baht<br />Pack of fire lighters = 14 baht<br />Pack of 12 noodles = 99 baht<br />Bag of lettuce = 28 baht<br />Spring onions = 18 baht<br />6 bottle of tonic = 50 baht<br />Pack of burger buns = 32 baht<br />Large bag of crisps = 30 baht</p>\n<p>Breakfast - 2 slices of toast, Cup of coffee, 2 boiled eggs.<br />Lunch - Some noodles (25 baht) and a small bottle of water from 7/11 (6 baht) <br />Dinner - 2 BBQ burgers in bun with cheese, sauce and salad.

I\'m also quite pleased with myself in that I managed to do a fair work out that I hope to build on.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday May 12th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Breakfast - Cup of Coffee, Glass of orange, bowl of cereal and a slice of toast= Free!<br />Lunch - Cheese, Ham and tomato sandwich, boiled egg and some Coke <br />Dinner - BBQ sausages in a bun with some salad, apple and crisps.

Or at least I thought I did. Sent out numerous CVs, emails and exercised till my bones ached. had an early night. <br />Morale - Felt good and still feel that my standard of life is anything but sub-par. Pauper, I\'m not</p>\n</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 320 baht<br />Running total = 18,750 baht</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Wednesday May 13th</h3>\n<p>Breakfast - Large Glass of Orange Juice, Cup of Coffee, Toast, 2 Boiled eggs, Yogurts <br />Lunch - Cheese and Ham toasties, some crisps and salad <br />Dinner - Bowl of Mamma noodles, some watermelon, glass of coke<br />Snacks - Apple, 2 crab-sticks, 2 cups of coffee <br />Leisure - Smoked 5/6 cigarettes, 2 Gin and tonics <br />Activities - Exercised, Read, Began writing, surfed the web, dealt with filing</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Stayed in today and sorted out boring things like banks and stuff to do with home. Boring things but necessary. Spent a bit on phone so will need a top up tomorrow.</p>\n<p>Morale - Feeling OK but thinking I\'m entering that period that everyone goes through every-so-often when Bangkok becomes a little over-bearing. Just about riding the storm but perhaps a couple of days on a beach would be nice....</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = Nothing!<br />Running total = 18,750 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday May 14th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Breakfast - Bowl of cereal, Cup of coffee, some watermelon <br />Lunch - Chicken Fried rice (25 baht) , Bottle of coke (14 baht), plate of Spicy salad (20 baht) = 59 Baht<br />Dinner - Bowl of mama noodles, Bowl of salad with cheese, tomato and crab-sticks <br />Snacks - Yogurt, 2 Cups of coffee <br />Leisure - 5/6 cigarettes, 3 gin and tonics, Bag of Spicy crisps (20 baht) = 20 Baht <br />Other Expenses - Phone card (500 baht) Bag of Ice (7 baht) 4 limes from street vendor (20 baht) = 521 Baht<br />Activities - Spent the day watching Anime and and movies and lying in bed</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Lazy day. <br />Morale - Feeling OK. Bloody Thais!</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 600 baht<br />Running total = 19,350 baht</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments</strong><br />Most of today\'s spend went on 500 baht for a phone card. You\'re always going to have these little mid-month \'budget bashers\' that creep up on you when you least expect it. I have a stored value card for both the sky-train and the underground system. I topped them both up last week with 500 baht on each. There\'s a thousand baht gone in a matter of minutes! Then there\'s what I call the supermarket \'household\' week when apart from buying food you find that you\'ve also run out of bathroom cleaner, washing up liquid, shaving gel, razors, garbage bags and furniture polish. Those things really do stack up at check-out.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I think one or two people are casting a critical eye over Hollow\'s eating and drinking habits. He tends to start the day well with a fairly healthy breakfast but on all too many days, I don\'t see a decent healthy meal later in the day. In Hollow\'s defence, he\'s a young guy. Your body can take an awful lot of punishment when you\'re in your early twenties. It was only when I moved into my own house with a western kitchen - and was able to cook \'proper meals\' - that I realized the amount of junk I\'d been putting inside me for the previous ten years. The endless ham and cheese toasties from the sandwich-maker, tinned tuna sandwiches, a few ritz crackers with a cheap sandwich spread. I\'d forgotten what a bloody lettuce leaf looked like! Little wonder I was so skinny! Food just wasn\'t a priority. But nowadays, I always make sure I have one healthy meal - usually in the early evening - and it will usually include pasta, fish and fresh salad or vegetables with some fruit to follow. It\'s for others to judge of course, but I certainly think I look better. I know that I feel better. And I\'m 17 kilos heavier to boot!<br />Teachers can often find themselves working long, irregular hours and there\'s that constant temptation to grab something on the go (how else would McDonalds make money?) Finding the time to prepare one healthy meal a day isn\'t always easy but it\'s well worth the effort.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Friday May 15th</h3>\n<p>Well TFI Friday, although the memory of last weekend is still very much at the forefront of my mind I\'ll be out and about. There will be fun, oh yes, but perhaps in a slightly different manner than before.</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Large Cup of Coffee, glass of OJ, Bowl of cereal and Apple <br />Lunch - Large KFC burger set = 130 Baht<br />Dinner - Went out with a couple of friends to a Mid-scale Thai restaurant. Shared several dishes: Bowl of Tom Yam, Som Tam, Red Snapper, Green Curry, Spring Rolls, Noodles with Pork and Fried Rice. We also had several beers each (I had about 4) My share of the bill = 700 baht. <br />Snacks - Orange Slush Puppy-esq drink from street stall = 10 baht</p>\n<p>Leisure - Went to nice bar for a few cocktails at 180 baht each (I had 3) = 600 baht (including tip) Then to a bar, had 4 G&amp;Ts (75 Baht each) = 350 baht (including tip)<br />Pack of LM Red = 60 baht<br />Other Expenses - BTS (20 baht) Taxi home (100 baht) = 120 Baht<br />Activities - Had a relaxed day that included reading, surfing the web, and watching Anime and a nice evening that was not about getting totally hammered, had good food, drinks and company. I needed to be relatively awake when I got home anyway.</p>\n<p>Days Thoughts - Overall I nice day with lots of different aspect that didn\'t cost an absolute fortune. <br />Morale - Felt good during the day and even better at night. Good company makes the world of difference, and I\'m not necessarily talking about that kind of company.

I\'d only really been in a couple of times as I always thought it looked a bit shabby but looking around, I\'ll be back.</p>\n<p>Morale - Feeling good that a few interests seem to be gathering some momentum although I did have a significant set-back in other areas that I will not be going into.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 286 baht<br />Running total = 22,079 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Wednesday May 20th</h3>\n<p>\n<p>So this is day 20? Two thirds of the way though and the budget is beginning to creak under the pressure. Will probably be going to Big C for a final stock up in a few days but I feel I\'ve a few days of cheap Thai food and mamma noodles left in me yet. Here\'s the breakdown -</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Couple of cup of Tea, few slices of toast = Free!<br />Lunch - Bowl of Noodles, Bottle of Pepsi (7/11, 10 Baht) = 10 Baht<br />Dinner - Sliced Duck on steamed rice with soy sauce and spicy side salad, glass of water (From market stall) = 80 Baht<br />Snacks - Bowl of Cereal, Pack of biscuits (7/11, 10 Baht), Selection of sliced fruit from stall (20 baht) = 30 Baht.</p>\n<p>Leisure - LM Red = 60 Baht<br />Other Expenses - Lighter = 5 baht<br />Activities - Spent the day watching movies and listening to music while pondering the meaning of life. I continued my research into various different projects although I soon gave up and ended up going for a late night stroll around the city streets instead, which I love.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Reaching the 20 day mark is interesting as it allowed me to take stock on what has gone before... I\'ve been collecting thoughts throughout the past 3 weeks and will try and cobble them together as a note to end on.</p>\n<p>Morale - Bit of a reflective mood today which meant I ended the day neither happy or sad, but felt both throughout course of it.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 185 baht<br />Running total = 22,264 baht</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments</strong><br />I\'ve long maintained that 30,000 baht a month is nowhere near enough to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle in Bangkok. In fact I don\'t think 40,000 baht a month cuts it anymore. And you could say that Hollow is beginning to prove the point. He\'s two-thirds of the way through this experiment and the cracks are beginning to appear. He\'s pondering the meaning of life, experiencing mood swings and walking the streets late at night. If nothing else, I applaud his honesty. There are eleven days still to go and just under 8,000 baht in the kitty. The cupboard\'s looking bare and he sounds like a young man in need of a good night out. Don\'t forget that there are still those monthly utility bills to be figured in somewhere. It\'s not looking good is it?</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Reader\'s Comment</h3>\n<p>\n<p>This guy seems to have a drinking problem, not really doable on 30k a month. And certainly not on expensive gin, he should change to Sangsom and diet coke. His diet is dreadful, full of all the expensive crap that people who don\'t like Thai food eat. He doesn\'t have a clue about breakfast. Buy one big can of porridge oats from Tesco, price 70 baht. Enough for 7 breakfasts, add a little honey and some banana, excellent, healthy and cheap, it\'s all I\'ve eaten for breakfast for many years now. I love this article but we don\'t get some important information, why does he need all those condoms? Is he paying for sex? Rather vital to know. He seems rather lazy and unmotivated, what is anime? Japanese cartoons? WTF. He is looking for a job but hardly seems employable to me. Last point: he claims to exercise like crazy but doesn\'t specify. Running outside? OK. Gym? not doable on 30k. Pushups in his room? bit of a waste of time. Oh well, good luck to him. <br />Rory</p>\n</p>\n<p>I\'m following this with interest. On the food front alone I\'m horrified at the unhealthy food. I hadn\'t used to be so faddy but since I developed diabetes I watch what I eat (and what others eat) a lot more carefully. He doesn\'t eat much fruit and veg, does he? I can get a very healthy fresh fruit lunch nearby for around 30 baht a day. OK a bit monotonous but it\'s healthy. Of course I can\'t eat jasmine rice any more either - the highest sugar content of any rice. But really - toast (olive oil spread by the way not butter, readily available at Villa Mart), yoghurt, porridge, fresh fruit - you can live inexpensively and healthily for two out of the three meals a day (less than 100 baht in my experience). Budgeting ten thousand a month for food allows me to eat out two or three times a week at places like Molly Malone\'s Sunday buffet. I guess the Thai cigarettes will kill him first anyway (and I\'m not an anti-smoker) plus the high booze intake. Oh dear me! And I haven\'t even started on the vegetables. I\'m pleased to see he did buy some apples. Ten thousand for rent. Six thousand for utilities including UBC (Gold) and ADSL. Four thou for everything else. He\'s not even trying!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday May 21st</h3>\n<p>Well here I stand... or slumped I should say. Looking back over 20 days I\'ve mixed feelings. I always stated that this thread was as much for myself as it was for potential new blood, and I feel I\'ve learned a lot. The food I eat and the amount I drink and smoke has been a bit of a shock. In my day to day life I never really stopped to take stock of what I was putting in my body. Was it harmful? would I regret it years down the line? was it enough?</p>\n<p>So I woke up this morning with a clear mission. Write a list to take me through to the end... there would be some dramatic changes in how I acted, in what I ate. I would have renewed focus... Concentrating on what was important.. sorting out my priorities and rectifying what I had done wrong in the past. This list would reflect how I would carry on for the rest of the year, if not my life. This list would truly reflect what I came to Thailand to do. Here\'s the breakdown.</p>\n<p>1 Liter bottle of Gilberys Gin = 440 Baht<br />10 Cans of Tonic water = 140 Baht<br />Bag of Limes = 54 Baht<br />10 Large bottles of Leo Beer = 470 Baht<br />8 Packets of LM Red = 480 Baht<br />Loaf of White Bread = 28 Baht<br />Box of 12 condoms = 133 Baht<br />Lube = 60 Baht<br />12 Pack of Processed Cheese = 165 Baht<br />10 Pack of Dried Mamma Noodles = 50 Baht<br />Pack of Processed ham = 110 Baht<br />8 Eggs = 49 Baht<br />2 Packs of Chocolate biscuits = 20 Baht<br />2 Large bottle of coke = 54 Baht<br />4 Tomatoes = 16 Baht 4 Strawberry yogurts = 49 Baht<br />5 Large bags of Crisps = 100 Baht<br />Pack of minced meet = 123 Baht<br />Bag of Onions = 36 Baht<br />Pack of Burger Buns = 32 Baht<br />2 Liters of Milk = 79 Baht<br />Large box of cereal = 148 Baht<br />10 Pack of butter sachets = 50 Baht</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Couple of cups of coffee, 2 Bits of toast and some cigarettes <br />Lunch - Triple-Decker Ham, Cheese and Tomato sandwich, with crisps and coke <br />Dinner - Bowl of Chicken Red Curry and steamed rice = 120 Baht (Including tip)<br />Snacks - Coffee, some biscuits, and Watermelon from a stall (10 Baht) = 10 Baht</p>\n<p>Leisure - Had 2 Bottles of Beer, 5 Gin and tonics and smoked a bunch of fags<br />Other Expenses - Bag of Ice from 7/11 (7 Baht), Refilled water bottles from machine (25 Baht) BTS Trip (50 baht return) = 82 Baht<br />Activities - Went shopping, did a few sit-ups and press-ups in my room, surfed the web then got slaughtered at night</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - I feel I really completed my objective today and I\'m optimistic that I will stay on budget even though I spent quite a lot. It\'s really refreshing to know where you\'ve been, where you are and where you want to go.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 3,098 baht<br />Running total = 25,362 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Friday May 22nd</h3>\n<p>Woke up on the wrong side of noon due to sleeping late after talking with a neighbor into the wee small hours. Decided that I\'d do some work. I felt pretty dazed and hungover so I headed down to 7/11 for the world best hang over cure! 5 Bottles of Red Bull = 50 Baht</p>\n<p>Breakfast - 2 Bottles of Red Bull, some toast and cigarettes <br />Lunch - Plate of Chicken fried rice, water followed by some grape fruit = 60 Baht <br />Dinner - Fired up the BBQ and made myself some burgers with tomato, cheese and chilli sauce the nice lady at 7/11 gave me for nothing, drank coke <br />Snacks - Had some crisps and a couple of biscuits later on</p>\n<p>Leisure - Bottle of Leo beer and a few G&amp;Ts <br />Other Expenses - None<br />Activities - Spent most of the day and night online working and procrastinating. Then had a friend over for a heated debate.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Felt good and actually managed to make some decent money! At last my online workings are making a return! Woo hoo!</p>\n<p>Morale - Money makes Hollow feel good and so does a knock on the door at 3am.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 110 baht<br />Running total = 25,472 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday May 23rd</h3>\n<p>Woke up early doors and got changed into some smart gear, then went out for a swanky buffet breakfast with a friend to a nearby 5 star. We then headed back to mine and spent the afternoon on the roof terrace talking nonsense and drinking G&amp;T. We then got a lift to a bar for a while but I was already half-cut so only had a few drinks.</p>\n<p>Breakfast - Buffet at Hotel = 600 Baht (Including tip)<br />Lunch - None.<br />Dinner - Paid for half of a delivered pizza = 170 Baht (Including tip)<br />Snacks - None.</p>\n<p>Leisure - 2 Bottles of Leo, 4 Gin and tonics (at home Free), 3 in a bar (250 Including Tip) A lot of Fags = 250 Baht. <br />Other Expenses - None. <br />Activities - Went online occasionally to check some stuff but mainly spent the day talking, drinking and eating.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Had a great day... Really enjoyed the change of scenery and would recommend the occasional buffet Breakfast to anyone. It allows you to dress up, enjoy the surroundings of a lovely hotel, absolutely rape the free (good) coffee and all for 5 or 6 hundred baht. <br />Morale - Feeling good. 1 week to go and although the last few days will be quite tight it\'s something that I am willing to endure. I suppose it depends on whether you like a constant decent standard or mountainous peaks and plunging valleys.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 1020 baht<br />Running total = 26,492 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Reader\'s Comment</h3>\n<p>Good effort from Hollow on this thread, it seems to be a very honest account. That being said, you\'re not working full-time are you? And therefore in my mind the validity of this month long experiment is fatally flawed. A person with large amounts of free time living in Bangkok is of course going to spend a fair bit of money. Long-termers like Phil can rub their hands with glee that this proves 30k a month isn\'t enough, and to that I say bollocks!</p>\n<p>Buying something like a barbecue isn\'t exactly something a person would pay every month. No offense to you Hollow but you seem to have one hell of a cigarette intake. How many cigarettes do you think you have smoked this month? In a few months, when I have moved, I\'m tempted to put my money where my mouth is and show that it is possible to live in Bangkok on 30k a month and still have a life.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comments<br /></strong>You\'re absolutely right Mr Pants. A person who is not working is far more likely to have too much free time on their hands and therefore spend more money. But have a look back at Hollow\'s expenses for the twenty three days so far. I can count eleven days where he\'s spent 350 baht or less. OK he likes a drink and a smoke - that we\'ve ascertained - but this has not been the diary of a man who spends money recklessly. Yes, there has been the odd two or three thousand baht day - but he\'s entitled to that. Someone trying to live on 30,000 baht a month is left with approx 24,000 baht after rent and utility bills (if they live somewhere semi-decent) If we divide it by 30 days in a month that\'s 800 baht a day in your pocket. And from that 800 baht a day, you have to feed yourself, clothe yourself, put a bit aside for annual trips home and the odd weekend away, you need health insurance, you\'ll have laundry and dry-cleaning bills and we haven\'t even started on the weekends yet. If you want to survive in bangers on 30K a month - and that\'s what this experiment is all about - you don\'t need to be a careful budgeter, you need to be a magician!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sunday May 24th</h3>\n<p>A lazy day...

Although I did do a fair amount of exercise in the evening.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Didn\'t spend a single baht which was nice. <br />Morale - Felt good, although a little bored... There\'s a roof terrace at my apartment which has great views over Bangkok and Wi-Fi, so I often go there and usually it\'s empty, but I got roped into a long and boring conversation by a few Thais in the same building... they where nice enough, but I just couldn\'t be bothered.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = None<br />Running total = 26,542 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday May 26th</h3>\n<p>Breakfast - 4 Slices of toast, boiled egg, Couple of cups of coffee <br />Lunch - A weird Pita- Pouch thing filled with chicken and vegetables and a coke <br />Dinner - Went to the Vietnamese place I ate at earlier in the month with a friend...

I also found it remarkable easy to wonder around the Paragon and not be tempted to buy something, previously I also left that mall with at least one bag.<br />Morale - Feeling quite proud that as the month comes to a close I\'m starting to look at money in a slightly different way.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 130 baht<br />Running total = 26,969 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday May 28th</h3>\n<p>Breakfast - 2 Bowls of cereal, slice of toast and some coffee <br />Lunch - Ham, cheese and tomato sandwich with crisps and a glass of coke <br />Dinner - Papaya Salad, and some chicken from stall = 50 Baht<br />Snacks - Mamma noodles, Ice Cream from 7/11 = 20 Baht<br />Leisure - 3 G&amp;T at home and 4 Gin and Tonics at a bar in Silom at (2 where bought at happy hour for 69 Baht and two at normal price 100 Baht) = 338 Baht<br />Other Expenses - BTS return to Sala Daeng = 40 Baht<br />Activities - Spent the morning watching Anime, the afternoon working and decided to go out for a few drinks in the evening.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Had the urge to head out this evening but again I feel I was quite responsible in that I stopped at 4 drinks rather than the 10 I would usually drink, top tip, drink a few before you head out and you\'ll save a good amount on the other end. <br />Morale - Pretty Tipsy</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 448 baht<br />Running total = 27,417 baht</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Friday May 29th</h3>\n<p>Breakfast - 4 Slices of toast 2 boiled eggs, cup of coffee <br />Lunch - Pork balls in spicy noodle soup, with a bottle of coke = 60 Baht (Including tip)<br />Dinner - Fired up the BBQ and cooked some burgers with onion, cheese and tomato and drank a large Leo <br />Snacks - Chicken burger from 7/11 (20 Baht) and some crisps, coffee, biscuits and a yogurt = 20 Baht<br />Leisure - Had 4 G&amp;Ts and smoked a fair few ciggies <br />Other Expenses - None!<br />Activities - Watched several movies that I borrowed from a friend and then went to bed early (but didn\'t sleep)</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - Another relatively relaxed day...<br />Morale - Feeling good if a little tired.</p>\n<p>Total daily spend = 80 baht<br />Running total = 27,497 baht</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Saturday May 30th</h3>\n<p>Breakfast - Bowl of Cereal, Cup of Tea 2 slices of toast <br />Lunch - Large Big Mac Meal delivered = 150 Baht (Including tip)<br />Dinner - Papaya Salad, BBQ fish, sticky rice from stall = 70 Baht<br />Snacks - Yogurt, couple of cups of coffee, and mamma noodles = Free!<br />Leisure - 3 G&amp;T and some cigarettes = Free!<br />Other Expenses - None. <br />Activities - Picked up a book and ended up being engrossed and read it late into the night. Also surfed the web and watched a shitty film on Star.</p>\n<p>Days thoughts - I enjoy reading but I usually get distracted by flashing objects (TV, the net, etc...) So it was good to really get into a book. <br />Morale - Another good day over-all but spending so much time in a small room can being to grate.

What does 30k in Bangkok actually get you? I found out the hard way... and it actually turned out not to be all that hard. If you\'ve been following this thread from a desk in the west, I\'m hopeful that this log has clarified a few things, but I\'m also sure that there will be some things that remain unclear. As I type this summary, 30,000 Baht translates into 540 pounds and 18 pence or 874 dollars 32 cents. About the same as I paid for one months rent back in the UK (excluding bills)</p>\n<p>If you look over my recorded expenses I\'m sure you\'ll find a few discrepancies. When I was out and about, over at friends or had company at my place, I occasionally smoked other peoples cigarettes and got bought food and drinks. I also offered my cigarettes to people, bought a few drinks and shared my food. Over the month I also wasn\'t working full time. I taught private lessons for 10 hours a week a short distance from my apartment. That meant I had a massive amount of free time, and time = money (especially in Thailand).</p>\n<p>Potential newbies also need to take into consideration that there are \"set up\" costs that haven\'t had the slightest impact on this months expenses, such as the deposit for an apartment (2 or 3 months worth of rent), buying a mobile phone and sim card as well as some potential work clothes and materials. You\'ll also have to consider what your apartment has inside it... is it furnished? Does it have a TV, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, lights, bed, chair, etc... My apartment had all these things as well as a washer dryer (Cleaning clothes at the rate I did would\'ve probably cost a good 700 baht if I\'d paid someone else to do it.)</p>\n<p>What needs to be kept in mind is that this isn\'t my first month in Thailand. I know people, the general lay of the land and speak a little Thai. I didn\'t pay for sex, not because I\'m adverse to it, but because I\'ve built up a network of friends and acquaintances. I\'m not Gods gift, but I\'m also not your standard farang. I don\'t have a 50 inch waist, massive emotional baggage and thousands of pounds in the bank. In other words... I don\'t have a red and white circular pattern on my back.</p>\n<p>So can you live on 30k a month? The answer is yes. Would I be happy living on 30k for the rest of the year? The answer is no. Not because it offers a terrible life, or that I\'d find it too hard, but because I don\'t feel that there\'s any need to. To me 30,000 Baht is an entry level amount that should be put up with for no longer than a year. I\'m starting a full time job next month that\'s paying 34,000 baht a month with an extra 3000 baht payable depending on attendance. I\'ll also be teaching a couple hours of private lessons in the evenings as well as a few hours on a Saturday morning, taking me well over 50K a month and that doesn\'t include other interests.</p>\n<p>All in, that\'s 33 contact hours a week and about 46 hours all together when you consider the extra time traveling and spent at the school. For some people that would be way too much, but I know that I can do that sitting on my head, because most importantly, I actually quite enjoy teaching.</p>\n<p>So many people see this as a means to an end, they want to come and stay in Thailand and the options for work are pretty limited. If you hate your job, it won\'t be long before you hate your life and soon you\'ll progress to hating yourself. I\'ll do the work and I\'ll also be able to go out most nights and drink excessive amounts (I worked 70+ hours in the UK and partied nearly every night) It just depends on what kind of person you are, what you\'re looking for in Thailand and life in general.</p>\n<p>So if you\'re thinking about coming over to the Land of Smiles, and are worried about being able to live on 30K P/M, I think I\'ve proven, that not only is it possible but it can actually be quite fun. It\'s not all a bed of roses and there are ups and downs to be had for sure, but what\'s life if not for the sweet and sour?</p>\n<p>If you want to come over here and party every night as though tomorrow will never come, then you cannot do it on 30k. If you want to live on the dark side and sit bathed in flickering red light, then you will need substantially more green in your pocket. If you want to eat out in fancy restaurants and take a weekend trips once a month then 30k is not enough. If you want to live in a condominium in the sky or in a residence that inspires envy, then... you know what I\'m going to say.</p>\n<p>I want to thank everyone who has contributed to the thread and I genuinely hope that it\'s helped a few people gain a greater understanding of what\'s involved in terms of finance in Siam. It\'s been a pleasure documenting it and although there were times I lagged behind I hope it wasn\'t a cause for too much frustration (sorry Phil )</p>\n<p>Finally... I\'ll end with my thoughts on the month as a whole...</p>\n<p>Over the last month I\'ve been to the cinema, had a blow out weekend clubbing and pubbing, maintained a borderline alcoholic drink intake and smoked enough cigarettes to kill a small child.</p>\n<p>I\'ve had a buffet breakfast at a 5 star hotel and drank cocktails garnished with sparklers and little umbrellas, surrounded by the \'beautiful people\'. I\'ve bought a BBQ and been to Big C to stock up no less than 3 times. I\'ve paid the rent for a basic studio along with all its associated bills, I\'ve eaten at Thai and Vietnamese restaurants, McDonalds, Burger King and KFC, on plastic furniture at the side of the road, on the floor of my apartment and off the stomach of a toned and tanned stranger.</p>\n<p>I\'ve watched movies, trashy Thai TV and Susan Boyle on Youtube. I\'ve thrown things at Soi dogs and even managed to hit a cat with half a lime. I\'ve made friends and enemies and loved and loathed... I\'ve been happy and sad, too hot and too cold and even had a little cry. I\'ve lay in the burning hot sun and watched thunder storms with forked lightening hitting the spires and peaks of a scattered skyline.</p>\n</p>\n<p>It\'s been the best of times, it\'s been the worst of times and I wouldn\'t change a thing.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Reader\'s Comment</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Most of the long timers like you and I know how to make money go as far as it can, but most of the long timers also end up getting married / partnered and in some cases with children. I am a married man, my wife is a corporate lawyer and we have a daughter who goes to a middle of the road private Thai school with reasonable fees. My wife earns a third of the household income, so combined family income is a lot more that 30,000BHT.</p>\n<p>30K a month covers school fees, insurance, house rent, water, electricity, T.V, food for a family, car insurance ( a family needs a car) and fuel bills. My daughter needs looking after while my wife and I work. We do not employ a maid, my mother in law lives with us and we pay her a little, (I am lucky that I get on with her and she does a lot more round the house than we ask.)<br />I work 6 days a week and do some private work, I do it to make ends meet. In short I think 30K a month is a good experiment for a person who is considering extending their holiday. I don\'t need a pencil and a pad to tell you if 30,000BHT a month would not suffice with a family. Double it and you\'re still living a frugal life as I\'m sure other readers with families will know.<br />If I only work my regular job we don\'t have enough money, period!</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/potnoodle.jpg','2009-05-31 23:42:15',1,'2009-05-31 23:42:15','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(971,21,'Ajarn.com in the Bangkok Post','ajarn.com-in-the-bangkok-post','Five minutes of fame','The Bangkok Post ran a full-page article on the ajarn.com website as part of its Learning Post education section on 22nd February 2005. ','<p>Ajarn.com\'s Phil Williams gives \'learning post\' an insider\'s look at one of Thailand\'s top teaching websites</p>\n<p><strong>Story by MATT LEPPARD</strong></p>\n<p>The thought of meeting Phil Williams is a little unnerving. You don\'t really know what to expect. As the brains behind www.ajarn.com, Thailand\'s popular Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) website, �Bangkok Phil� could easily be the most tedious teacher in Thailand, a twitchy recluse whose only social contact is online with other recluses, or a washed-up expat, bleary-eyed from last night\'s beer-bar binge.</p>\n<p>Phil Williams, the current brains behind Ajarn.com, shares his thoughts on where the site is heading during his visit to learning post. <br />He could, of course, be all of these at once, but in actual fact, he\'s none. Younger, at least in appearance and spirit, than his online biography would lead you to believe � and reassuringly unnerdy � Phil is self-effacing, witty and sharp.</p>\n<p>He\'s the go-getting entrepreneur who transformed Ajarn.com from a hobby site into a profitable and growing venture, neatly side-stepping the dotcom crash. And not one to rest on his laurels, Phil is going places and he\'s taking Ajarn.com with him.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t always so. Ajarn.com was launched in January 1999 by another British expat teacher, Ian McNamara (see box). It received little attention at first, but, as one of the first online TEFL resources in Thailand, the site soon developed a loyal core following, including one Phil Williams.</p>\n<p>With about 10 years of Thai life under his belt, including substantial teaching experience, Phil had become a big fan of the Stickman Bangkok website (www.stickmanbangkok.com), especially the teaching section, which he still regards as the definitive guide to teaching English in Thailand. It wasn\'t long before Phil contacted Stickman and was referred to Ajarn.com. Impressed with what he saw, Phil felt that the site could benefit from his own real-life tales, good and bad � and Ian agreed.</p>\n<p>\"I contacted Ian to write a �teacher�s tales� section for the site and share the experience and stories that I had about the business in Thailand,\" says Phil during a chat at the learning post offices.</p>\n<p>\"Ian liked the stuff, put it on the site, and we met for a drink and became very good friends. He ran the website very much as a hobby, spending hours on it � but it never made a great deal of money. It did, however, develop a brand name.\"</p>\n<h3>COMMERCE AND COWBOYS</h3>\n<p>It was this brand name that was passed on to Phil when Ian went to work in China in early 2003. Phil\'s approach to the site differed from Ian\'s. The self-confessed \"wheeler-dealer\" � whose CV includes running a mail-order record service while at school, being a partner in a catering firm and helping out with an antique business � quickly saw the commercial potential in Ajarn.com.</p>\n<p>\"I decided from the beginning that this was going to be a business and in the three years I�ve been at the helm, I�ve not only built on the foundations that Ian laid, I�ve turned it into quite a profitable site,\" says Phil.</p>\n<p>However, Phil readily admits that transforming the site into more of a business than a hobby did and does have its pitfalls. For example, most of the advertising baht thrown at Ajarn.com comes from the TEFL training course providers that have proliferated over the past few years. This is not always a good thing.</p>\n<p>\"Thailand has become almost a hot-bed for unqualified teachers looking to obtain a teaching certificate,\" says Phil. \"It\'s become a cut-throat and, dare I say it, slightly dirty business, where the established names are competing with the cowboys.</p>\n<p>\"I feel sorry for new arrivals who have to do their own research, because there are so many wrong turns to take in choosing the right course,\" says Phil, who acknowledges that sorting the good from the bad is one area where Ajarn.com scores a \"could do better\" on its report card.</p>\n<p>Phil also takes pains to point out that he\'s not a natural-born teacher and, despite his extensive experience and success in the profession, education has always been something to fall back on rather than a calling. He does, of course, praise the dedication of those more committed to the job.</p>\n<p>\"I have nothing but admiration for those guys who leave for work at 6am and return in the dead of night. It can be really dispiriting.\"</p>\n<p>Phil also points out that most people who visit Ajarn.com are those who are teaching, or looking to teach, in Thai public schools or EFL schools. These are not well-heeled \"expat package\" fat cats, but teachers living, in most cases, on what many would consider a subsistence salary, here because they love the country and the culture.</p>\n<p>Such a lifestyle largely precludes the barhopping that many assume is a mainstay of expat existence. Most foreign teachers simply don\'t have the time or money, whether they have the inclination or not. To this end, the Ajarn.com discussion board serves as an online low-cost meeting place where members can get together online and share successes, sob stories and survival tips.</p>\n<p>Any online community of expats in Thailand can easily degenerate into a celebration of the seamier side of Thai life. However, it\'s a testament to Ajarn.com\'s members and forum moderators that it remains, for the most part, on-message.</p>\n<p>\"Quite simply, I think that it\'s nice to know that you\'re not alone,\" says Phil when asked about the huge popularity of the board. \"It\'s good to know that the problems that you have in the classroom are shared by other teachers.\"</p>\n<h3>CONTENT IS KING</h3>\n<p>Phil maintains that his approach to Ajarn.com is \"if it\'s not broken, don\'t fix it\". Design-wise, he\'s happy with the site remaining distinctly non-corporate. Content-wise, he\'s happy that he\'s been able to diversify the site while managing his own workload.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m constantly trying to find new angles,\" says Phil. \"These can range from teacher fashions to visa and work permit information, all written by people who actually do this stuff. I now have eight or nine Ajarn writers who do monthly columns, which has taken a lot of the pressure off me to keep the site fresh.\"</p>\n<p>When pressed, Phil did reveal that he has some future plans for the site. The biggest of these is to revamp the listings section.</p>\n<p>\"For teachers, there will be the usual list of currently available positions with a search-by-province function, but in addition, they will be able to create and edit an online resume, post a photograph and access a weekly job alert newsletter,\" he says. \"Schools will continue to have the option of being able to post free job vacancies, but we will also introduce a premium jobs page where they can display logos and put vacancies on the newsletter. Schools will also have access to the resume database.\"</p>\n<p>Phil also wants the site to continue to cater to the newbie teacher. One of the biggest problems that self-starter expats face is finding housing. Most real estate services only cater to the wealthy, and this, says Phil, needs to change.</p>\n<p>\"Websites and real estate agents simply don\'t deal with properties in the 3,000-15,000-baht range,\" he says. \"So a service is being launched at the end of the month, in partnership with Ajarn.com, called \'Mr Roomfinder\'.\"</p>\n<p>His ambitions don\'t stop there. Phil\'s other dream is to run a complete newbie service where he finds someone a job, meets them at the airport and takes them to their new apartment � found using the site, of course.</p>\n<p>With all this going on, it comes as something of a surprise, then, to learn that Phil manages to squeeze in jobs like teacher recruitment for Middle Eastern countries and consulting on specialised corporate training, all of which amount to around 20 hours per week.</p>\n<p>\"The flexibility of these jobs certainly gives me more time to concentrate on Ajarn.com,\" says Phil. \"After all, it wouldn\'t be the site it is if I had a straight teaching job.\"</p>\n<h3>THE EARLY YEARS</h3>\n<p>Ian McNamara has led something of an unconventional life. After university and a few years of bank work, he decided that the UK had little to offer him. So, with a TEFL certificate under his belt, Ian ended up working on an Israeli moshav (a cooperative village) for a year, followed by a stint teaching in Cairo. He then returned to the UK to decide what to do next. His decision? To ride a bicycle around the world.</p>\n<p>\"After eight months and about 15,000 kilometres of riding, I ended up in Bangkok with no money,\" Ian recalls. \"So another choice: go home or teach English.\"</p>\n<p>His first job was at the Rajamangala College\'s Borpitpimuk Mahamek Campus on Soi Suan Plu in Bangkok. It was while working here that Ian decided to build a website.</p>\n<p>\"The initial idea was just to put some web pages together to help get me a few private students,\" says Ian. \"Then I got thinking. What if other people interested in TEFLing in Thailand found the site? So, after a few of months just spent writing, I ended up with a couple of hundred pages for wannabe TEFLers. The first version of the site was online in January 1999.</p>\n<p>\"Phil was one of the first teachers to show real interest in the site and he emailed me to ask if he could contribute. He had loads of experience, shared the same sense of humour and had a bagful of anecdotes. So he became the only real contributor. Then, when I got the offer of a job in China, I needed someone else to run the site. Phil passed the single-question interview � \'Do you fancy running the site while I\'m away?\' with flying colours.\"</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/journo.jpg','2005-02-25 01:07:33',1,'2005-02-25 01:07:33','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(972,52,'December 2009','november-2009','All the latest news from those offering teacher training in Thailand','If you\'re looking to do a teacher training course in Thailand, we have all the news on promotions, early bird discounts, training plus guaranteed job packages, etc.','<p>Starting this February, two more universities, <strong>Khon Kaen University</strong> and <strong>Prince of Songkla University</strong>, (Phuket campus), will join the growing trend toward offering fully accredited university issued TEFL training in Thailand.

Classes are generally taught after the staff\'s working day ( eg 5pm to 6.30pm) possibly one or two nights a week.</p>\n<p>The company usually pay the school between 1200 baht and 1500 baht per hour. How much of that gets passed on to the teacher varies greatly from school to school. I\'ve heard of one institute that pays about 700 baht per hour to its teachers but you\'ll find that 350-400 is more the going rate. Anything under 350 baht is unacceptable.</p>\n<p>Most schools give the teacher a travel allowance. Again this varies from school to school but it should be enough to get you a metered taxi from the school to the company door. In reality many teachers pocket the allowance and stand at the bus-stop waiting for the next cheap bus. Some schools also offer course completion bonuses but be absolutely sure what the amount is before you embark on a corporate teaching course.</p>\n<p>I\'ve done a fair bit of corporate teaching and I must confess that I have mixed feelings about it. Some company groups are a joy to teach but many are not. You have to bear in mind that employees are often \'forced\' to study by their employer and&nbsp;employees will be given corporate lessons as a free company benefit but they will be fined (often heavily) if they do not attend a sufficient number of the classes. And because they have finished their work for the day, they are often tired and would quite simply rather be going home than listening to someone rabbit on about modal verbs and graded adjectives.</p>\n<p>So the teacher is faced with a rather disinterested and unmotivated audience. The need to step up the entertainment value is greatly increased simply to keep the students from nodding off. In larger groups your lessons will be constantly interrupted by the ringing and bleeping of pagers and mobile telephones - something which annoys the hell out of me !</p>\n<p>Not all company work is bad it must be said. The teacher might have a modern, spacious boardroom to teach in and upon arrival ,a maid will appear with a cup of coffee and a plate of bickies. The students might actually be keen to learn and some groups can be extremely sociable and generous. A predominantly male company group will&nbsp;sometimes offer to take the teacher for a quiet drink after work. Six hours later, the teacher is in a dark, seedy cocktail lounge minus his briefcase and trousers, wondering where all the lipstick came from.</p>\n<p>Some language schools rely very heavily on the corporate market and employ teachers as virtually full-time, in-company instructors. I can\'t imagine a more stressful job. Bouncing around Bangkok from one company to the next, exposed to all that pollution and traffic. One teacher I know became so burnt out physically and mentally that he quit the job to enter a temple for a three month session of meditation, and vowed never to work for another private language school in his life.</p>\n<p>Corporate teaching.....definitely a case of the rough with the smooth.</p>\n<h3>Mr Michael from Siam</h3>\n<p>One can\'t help but notice the tremendous amount of stick that Siam Computer comes in for on many a web-site page. Is there an ex-employee from Siam anywhere in this city who has a good word to say about them? Their turnover of teachers&nbsp;is&nbsp; enormous because rarely a week goes by without seeing the familiar Siam Computer &lsquo;teachers wanted\' ad adorning the pages of the Bangkok Post classified. I have met Mr. Michael, the academic director of Siam Computer, and found him to be a very charming and knowledgeable gentleman. He knows the problems that the school faces, but has little or no power to change things. I must admit that I feel very sorry for him. I am convinced that if he had more clout, the school probably wouldn\'t have the reputation it currently deserves.</p>\n<h3>Take the ECC Challenge</h3>\n<p>I don\'t know whether or not ECC have changed the format of their teacher applicant test. About 2 years ago I went on a spying mission to their branch at Ramkhamhaeng posing as an enthusiastic job-hunter. I was given their teacher test and told to fill it in. I\'ve always taken great pride in my knowledge of grammar, and I completed the paper in good time. I dutifully handed the sheet back, but couldn\'t resist pointing out the three grammar errors in the questions.</p>\n<h3>Dressed to Impress</h3>\n<p>During my time as academic director, it was my job to interview numerous applicants for both full and part-time teaching positions. It amazed me the number of people who turn up for an interview dressed more suitably for a day at the beach. One guy even entered the interview room with a freelance&nbsp;lady of the night that&nbsp;he\'d picked up from&nbsp;a local&nbsp;coffee shop. Then had the nerve to ask my opinion on her. We all know that the reputation of the teaching profession in Bangkok is not what it should be, but at the risk of being called old-fashioned - any interview calls for a certain degree of professionalism.</p>\n<h3>Rich Teacher? - Never Met One!</h3>\n<p>Many potential teachers have contacted me over the past half-year, mostly from the USA, to ask me the burning question - \" How much do I need to earn to live comfortably in Bangkok \"? Well, it\'s a nigh on impossible question to answer because simply put -&nbsp;one man\'s needs are totally different to another\'s, but I consider anything over 30,000 baht a month to be reasonable enough to ensure a fairly comfortable standard of living. You can live in a decent apartment, eat in good restaurants and take a taxi at the weekends. You might even save a bit too!</p>\n<p>However, I couldn\'t agree more with what Stickman says on his web site. No one comes to Thailand to teach and get rich.</p>\n<p>Some barstool experts always draw comparisons between the foreign teacher\'s salary and the average Thai salary. That\'s useless.&nbsp;If you want to live like a typical Thai, sharing a house with a family of seven including aged grandparents, eating noodles everyday and catching the green bus to work, you go ahead and do it.</p>\n<p>By all means, seek out the best salary available to you, but never lose sight of reality. Most of the teachers who advertise on Dave\'s ELS caf&eacute; web site in the &lsquo;jobs wanted\' section live in cloud cuckoo land with totally unrealistic expectations about teaching in Thailand. I\'m talking about teachers who are currently living outside of Thailand and looking to gain some experience in this South East Asian corner. I had one American guy ask me if my school could pay the airfares for his wife and two kids. He was devastated to hear that we&nbsp;couldn\'t even pay&nbsp;for his.</p>','','2002-12-01 09:21:24',1,'2002-12-01 09:21:24','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(974,50,'Divine right','divine-right','Can anyone realistically teach English?','Some people believe that every native English speaker is born with the ability to teach English.  Unfortunately a high proportion of people with that belief appear to want to be teachers. \n','<p>In God\'s eyes everyone is equal. Unfortunately God isn\'t responsible for the hiring of teachers in Thailand - mere fallible mortals are and therefore some people are more equal than others. This means that some people will be at a distinct advantage when it comes to getting a job teaching. The people are known in TEFL parlance as \'Native Speakers\'. If you have ever found yourself wondering \"What defines a native speaker?\" then you aren\'t one and as such, no matter what your qualifications, the job opportunities will be fewer and the salaries lower. Life isn\'t fair but, to put a positive spin on things, the next time someone needs to learn Serbo-Croat, Tagalog or Burmese then they\'ll be far less competition for you.\n<p>If you scan the constitution of any English speaking country you\'ll find a clause, often hidden amongst the legalese, which states that having been born and bred in the aforesaid mentioned country you are entitled to teach English in any country with a lower GDP than your own.</p>\n<p>In the UK we don\'t have a constitution, no-one got round to it for some reason, but we have got the Magna Carta. This was the first attempt at laying down rules for an entire country. The writers divided the population into distinct groups for the first time - henceforth citizens would be known as either \'us\' or \'them\'. \'Us\' being the commissioners and writers of the charter, \'them\' being the serfs to whom it was applied. The charter covered all aspects of English life such as laying down the rules of cricket, instructions on making the perfect pot of Earl Grey and the correct pronunciation of the word \'scone\'. More importantly it also stated that as a citizen of the British Empire one could teach in any nation that is, was, will be or should have been a colony - especially if they have a warm tropical climate.</p>\n<p>So, inbred into the psyche of every Native Speaker is the knowledge that should you ever really screw up and spend 6 months in an open jail then you will still be employable as an English teacher in some far off land simply because of your heritage.</p>\n<p>I get loads of email from well meaning people who are out to make a difference. However, their main concern seems to be making a difference to their lives without thinking about the effect their adventures in TEFL land will have on others.</p>\n<p>\"I want to teach but I\'m only 19 have no experience and have no plans to take a TEFL course because my English is good already. Also I only want to work for the summer holidays. I\'m sure there must be some school that needs me to teach.\"</p>\n<p>I guess \"need\" is used in the \'fish needing a bicycle\' sense.</p>\n<p>I try to discourage people by offering alternative solutions to their dilemma about wanting to be constructive and do something to make a difference. Suggestions along the lines of recording a charity single to boost a deprived nation\'s coffers, developing a cure for cancer or heading to Afghanistan to search for Osama Bin Laden all seem to offer more chance of success than being let loose on an unsuspecting class without having a clue about what you\'re supposed to be doing.</p>\n<p>After informing them of this, the standard reply to me is that the writer is pretty sure that most schools and TEFL course providers are in cahoots. The evidence for this is that they have a mate who\'s in Bangkok now but doesn\'t possess anything that could pass as a qualification other than a pale complexion, an ability to bullshit and the confidence to use it. The email usually ends with something along the lines of \"My mate found his job easily but has just left XYZ school because they didn\'t pay him what he was owed.\" Why he writer doesn\'t form some kind of idea about they type of school XYZ is and the possibility that it may not be the best place to work is beyond me.</p>\n<p>The notion that many people have is that after 12 years of attending a half decent school and spending time observing the good, the bad and the ugly of the teaching profession first hand, they already have a pretty good idea of what\'s what.</p>\n<p>A few minutes reminiscence about the classes you enjoyed brings back memories of a pain free learning process, the teacher taking time to answer questions, no pointless rules in class, homework being thoroughly checked and useful advice given, the teacher remembering your name and giving you praise even if your answers weren\'t always spot on. Armed with that knowledge and the subconscious ability to instinctively know when a sentence is correct or not you are ready to be a teacher. What isn\'t being thought about is the preparation the teacher did so that you enjoyed their lessons so much. If it was so simple, why weren\'t all teachers and all lessons of the same calibre. Knowing when a sentence is incorrect is useful but it may be more useful if you can explain why it\'s incorrect. How do you do this?</p>\n<p>The bottom line is your genes will help you get a job but they can only take you so far.

A colleague of mine at Berlitz in the early 90\'s was teaching a private student from an oil company, when out of the blue, the student offered him an office position with his firm. The result - an 80,000 baht a month salary with a luxury apartment on Soi Convent thrown in.</p>\n<p>One of my greatest friends also has a similar tale. He was a 20,000 baht a month struggling teacher, but thanks to a chance meeting with a certain student, he\'s now head of advertising at a major company on Chidlom. He recently paid cash for a new condominium in a select area of Sukhumvit Rd. When we stayed in the same crummy apartment building in Yannawa 6 years back, he didn\'t know where the next meal was coming from. There\'s hope for us all.</p>\n<h3>Textbook Terrors</h3>\n<p>One item on the Stickman web site that really caught my eye was his opinion on the interchange series of textbooks, and how &lsquo;flat\' it is. I can only stand up and applaud, and agree whole-heartedly. The more I teach from this textbook, the more I loathe it. The main reason many Bangkok language schools use Interchange, is because re-ordering new stocks is always easy. AUA, for example, go through tremendous quantities of this textbook. In fact, I heard from a reliable source that Thailand is the book\'s biggest market, or certainly one of them. The main textbook wholesalers in Bangkok (I won\'t mention their names because Longman and Heinemann won\'t like it) do an appalling job in the stock-control of language textbooks. I can\'t begin to imagine the number of times I\'ve been informed by a Longman or Heinemann representative that a particular textbook is out of stock, and a wait of several months is necessary before the book may arrive.</p>\n<h3>The Freelance Teacher - Perils and Pitfalls</h3>\n<p>Many teachers in Bangkok decide to go it alone and break free from the shackles of a private language school, and become a freelance teacher. This kind of teacher can operate in two ways: firstly (and most commonly) is to establish a clientele of private students which the teacher will give lessons to in the students own homes, or secondly, to throw open the doors of his / her own apartment/house and invite students to come and study there.</p>\n<p>The freelance teacher role always sounds very appealing. No AD or head teacher breathing down your neck asking for lesson plans, none of your lessons being monitored, the option to work when you like. I\'ve had several friends who have made a real go of it, but sadly, all too many teachers fail miserably.</p>\n<p>You have to consider what the freelance teacher has to organise himself without the backing of a language school. 1. Organise a work permit or face doing the dreaded visa runs. 2. Have a good supply of materials to make the lessons entertaining 3. Organise photocopying 4. Find the students 5. See monthly income take a nosedive during the months of December, January, and April, when there are many Thai holidays, and lesson cancellations are rife.</p>\n<p>In fact, lesson cancellations in Bangkok are almost a national pastime!</p>\n<p>Many smarter teachers get around this problem by demanding money in advance from new students for say, a block of 10 hours. Lessons must be cancelled 24 hours in advance. However, you also don\'t want to appear &lsquo;hardnosed\' to your new customers.</p>\n<p>Many freelance teachers have made good money teaching the hordes of Japanese housewives and businessmen who live in the Sukhumvit Rd area between Nana and Ekkamai. Most of these Japanese families are sent here by Japanese companies, and the father of the family is usually on some obscenely high salary. Both husband and wife, and even the kids are often willing to pay upwards of 500 baht an hour for simple conversation lessons. And once you get into 2 or 3 households, and become known as a good. Solid, reliable performer, the word will spread very quickly. Just be aware that in December, most Japanese go back to see the rising sun.</p>\n<p>What about the second option for the freelance teacher? - using your own home as a classroom. Spare a thought for the students. Do they want to come to a 20 metre square studio apartment and sit there perched on the end of your bed while your dirty laundry festers in a dark corner, and a jazz mag sticks out from under the mattress. You need to have somewhere halfway decent that operates as your &lsquo;classroom\'. I had a go at this aspect of the business a couple of years ago. I spent months looking for a suitable place, eventually settling for a modest 2-storey house on a very quiet, middle-class Thai housing estate (moobarn).</p>\n<p>Having 3 good - size rooms upstairs, I converted one of them at considerable cost, into a classroom / office with quality furniture and a small library of textbooks. I put a couple of signs on the front gate and distributed about 2000 leaflets to local houses. I still have the scars from the dog-bites to prove it. Anyway, I was now ready for business.</p>\n<p>To cut a long story short , I was very glad that I didn\'t give up my day job, because students , although keen to study , weren\'t so keen to part with more than 400 baht an hour , and this is the absolute minimum that I would accept for teaching at home. Cancellations were a nightmare ! and there\'s just something shitty about people invading the privacy of your humble abode on a weekend. No more lounging around in T-shirt and shorts and no more dirty dishes lying in the sink. I have to admit that I gave it all up after several months. I enjoy my job at the institute I now work at, but at the end of the day, I like to get home and put my feet up in front of the TV. Perhaps an Englishman\'s home should always just be his castle !!!!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2003-01-01 00:02:39',1,'2003-01-01 00:02:39','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(977,51,'February 2003','february-2003','A bulging toast-rack full of buttered TEFL slices','Featuring this month what makes a good teacher great, the greatest TEFL teacher story ever told and let\'s hear it for the dreaded visa run','<h3>What makes a good teacher great</h3>\n<p>Male, female, gay, straight, British, Irish, Canadian, Scottish - you name it. I tried to analyse what makes a highly employable teacher. I perused this list of some 200 plus names and decided that one factor is above all others - reliability !!!!</p>\n<p>Fairly recently , I made a list of all the teachers I have worked with in my 11 years in Bangkok - a staggering 257 different individuals ( the ones I could remember ) I came to the conclusion that a&nbsp;teacher doesn\'t have to be a great educator - just good enough. A teacher doesn\'t have to be well-qualified ( I\'ve worked with PhD\'s in Linguistics who shouldn\'t have been let anywhere near a classroom )</p>\n<p>A teacher doesn\'t have to be particularly attractive or handsome - because enthusiasm and friendliness can make up for that. Teachers don\'t have to be experienced. I firmly believe that teaching is a natural ability that you either have or you don\'t have. No TEFL course in the world will turn you into a teacher if you don\'t possess any natural skill. But a teacher must be reliable.</p>\n<p>I think that language schools place far too much emphasis on the qualifications / experience side of an applicant\'s resume , when in reality , a well-qualified , experienced teacher ain\'t worth the time of day if they can\'t get up in the morning.</p>\n<h3>The Greatest teacher story . . . .ever !</h3>\n<p>I have to admit that this story has never ever been confirmed as gospel, but it\'s done the rounds a few times and it\'s a classic. It concerns a male teacher of rather dubious qualifications, working for a well-known language school several years ago. As the story goes, he was teaching a large class of about 20-25 students, and the subject got onto the rather risque topic of sexual diseases ( OK, Thais are just as curious as any other nationality ). One of the class made a&nbsp;jocular observation that perhaps the teacher suffered from such an affliction.</p>\n<p>The teacher was horrified at the very thought and protested his innocence amid howls of laughter from his rather immature group of students. Only one thing for it - there was the unmistakeable sound of a zip being pulled down and there stood the teacher in the middle of the room proudly waving. for want of a better expression - his crown jewels. The class fell silent. Legend has it that one or two fainted.</p>\n<p>The teacher held his pink sword aloft and announced triumphantly \" told you - nothing wrong with that \"</p>\n<p>The only sound that could be heard for the next two minutes were scraping chairs and&nbsp;quickening footsteps as a bewildered array of students beat a path to the receptionist\'s desk. The teacher was fired on the spot.</p>\n<p>One of my teacher trainers always told me that usage of realistic material was a good thing to bring to an EFL classroom , but yes, you do have to draw the line somewhere.</p>\n<p>What amused me about the story was wondering how the Thai students, knowing how shy and protected they are, explained the event to the centre manager.</p>\n<h3>The dreaded visa run</h3>\n<p>If you are unlucky enough to work for an institution that doesn\'t provide you with a yearly work permit, then you are faced with the terror of having to leave the country every 3 months to re-new your visa - the visa run.</p>\n<p>However, there are now many agents and law offices in Bangkok that provide a work permit service without you, the teacher, having to go anywhere. Of course, this costs money, and I\'m not absolutely sure, but you possibly wouldn\'t get much change out of 10,000 baht. What! 10,000 baht? - go ahead and pay it.</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t hesitate. Anything, absolutely anything to avoid those damn visa runs to Malaysia (quite possibly the world\'s most unexciting country).</p>\n<p>Let me tell you this. 20 hours plus on a train from Bangkok to Butterworth is quite a novelty the first time you do it , but it all wears very thin next time around. I thank the Lord that I haven\'t had to make these trips for some five years now, but the awful memories are still with me.</p>\n<p>Never, on not one occasion did I sit opposite some young, dolly bird who would engage in light, sporadic conversation and giggle nervously. No way!&nbsp; I always had 25 hours sitting opposite the overweight Thai- Chinese woman, who spent the whole journey scoffing a veritable banquet and picking her nose.</p>\n<p>Still there\'s always the scenery from the carriage window. What scenery is that!!! Now the north of Thailand may be mountainous and spectacular, but the Muslim south is flatter than a billiard table and marginally less exciting. You can\'t even have a good gander at the local totty as the train weaves its way through the fertile plains. Well, they do have beautiful eyes, and that\'s about all you can see.</p>\n<p>I must say that I\'ve always found the sleeper carriages to be surprisingly comfortable, but not so comfortable that I want the bed made up at 7.00 in the evening like all my fellow passengers. I can\'t go to sleep at 7.00 in the evening. So it\'s a choice of lying on your bunk listening to the pitch and roll of the rickety old train, or attempting to locate the buffet car.</p>\n<p>The buffet car is always an interesting place. You have two sets of customers and two only. Firstly, the Pattaya bar owners downing copious amounts of &lsquo;Beer Sing\', and trying to ascertain where they can get a woman for the night. Old habits die hard. And secondly, there\'s the group of off-duty Thai policemen talking loudly around a small table awash with water, soda and Mekhong whisky.</p>\n<p>If you\'re really lucky, one of them will start waving his new gun around like Billy the Kid , and pretend to shoot everyone in the buffet car. Hey you Farang !!! Then as all his pissed mates howl with laughter, he remembers the safety catch.</p>\n<p>The morning of the next day brings precious little to smile about. The 7.00 to bed crowd are all up performing their morning ablutions well before sunrise. There\'s people stretching , groaning , gargling , spitting , belching - a whole cacophony of sounds more at home in a zoo. You are lying motionless on your bunk just praying for the journey\'s end.</p>','','2003-02-02 00:08:35',1,'2003-02-02 00:08:35','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(978,20,'The house of horrors','the-house-of-horrors','The nightmare of building your own home in Thailand','Some long-term teachers make one of the biggest decisions of their life and decide to have a house built in Thailand. But what happens when it all goes wrong? Read Ralph Sasser\'s nightmare story of bent lawyers, jail threats and the construction company from Hell.','<p>This is a story about what can happen when you hire a builder in Thailand. I hope anyone hiring a builder take note.\n<p>In January 2009, I met with a builder concerning the construction of a house. He showed me some designs in a book and I chose one I liked. I told him I wanted to make some changes to the floor plan and to add built-in closets, cabinets, bathroom vanities, and total air-conditioning. The builder told me the price quoted would be purely for the house. The price would not include furniture.</p>\n<p>He told me I could take the cabinets and vanities with me when and if I ever moved. I told him they were designed for one particular spot in one house and would be difficult to transplant. After a lot of discussion the builder agreed and asked if he could build the \'extras\'. I told him that was fine as long as they were professionally-built. He assured me that wouldn\'t be a problem. I asked him the final, all-in price and was quoted two million baht. I told him that was too much for the size of house I wanted and it was more than I could afford. So we negotiated and finally settled for 1.65 million baht - less the air conditioning which I agreed I would pay to have installed. I told him I couldn\'t afford to build the house from start to finish in one go. The house would have to be built in stages as and when I earned the money. And that might take a year or more. The builder agreed that was fine.</p>\n<p>He then asked for a 10% down payment for both materials and labor. He drew up a generic building contract which basically stated that I would pay X amount of money for X amount of work. When that work was completed, I would pay X amount for the next phase of work and so on. There were four stages. I agreed and I gave him 150,000 baht.</p>\n<p>The builders started work on the footings and I left the country. While I was out of Thailand, the construction team completed the footings, foundations, grade beams, and slabs. I wasn\'t there to give the boss any more money to continue so he stopped work altogether.</p>\n<p>I returned to Thailand and met with the contractor. He told me that before he could continue, he needed 400,000 baht to build the columns, walls, and roof. I told him I didn\'t have that much, but I could spare 250,000 THB and the balance of 150,000 THB would be paid a month later. I made it clear to the builder that it was all the money I had for a while and when that money ran out, he would have to stop until I had the funds to continue. He agreed and started working on the columns, walls and roof.</p>\n<p>Five weeks later, the columns and half of the walls were finished and the roof was nearly complete. The contractor told me he needed a further 200,000 baht. I told him again that I didn\'t have the money to continue. He reminded me that materials were expensive. I told him this wasn\'t a \'cost plus job\' and if materials were too expensive, then he should stop and down tools. I reminded him that he had quoted for the job in phases and he was the professional that gave me that quote. If the money wasn\'t enough, he would have to stop. He said that his men needed paying. I told him that all I had was 60,000 baht and while he was welcome to that, the sum of 60,000 would be deducted from the cost of the next phase. The contractor agreed.</p>\n<p>Two weeks later, the roof was complete. Guess what? The contractor told me he needed money. Again, I told him I didn\'t have any more cash and that would be the situation for a while. He became very upset and started screaming. During his rant, he told me I could go to prison for several years. I said \"so now you want to talk about killing me?\" He said \"no but I am angry and I want money. I asked him why he\'d played the prison card. He didn\'t answer. He told me he had to finish paying for the roofing materials and I told him that the the 400,000THB was supposed to cover that. I then asked him where that sizable chunk of cash had gone. The contractor started screaming again and I told him if he was going to rant and rave, I wasn\'t going to talk to him. Realising the situation was hopeless - at least temporarily - he finally left.</p>\n<p>The next day, the contractor, a lawyer, and several other hangers-on came to my house. The lawyer told me I should pay him because if we went to court, the judge would examine my visa and passport. He went on to say that the judge could even hold my passport indefinitely. It was a ludicrous threat. I told the lawyer I was in Thailand legally. To scare me even further (or attempt to) he told me that the police could make an arrest.</p>\n<p>The lawyer told me I could face a lot of problems but I was adamant that I had done nothing wrong. I had paid per the contract and that was all I was willing to shell out. A lady then came over to talk to me. She told me she had personally loaned the contractor the money to finish my roof. I told her that any loans between her and the contractor was none of my business and that she was a fool to loan money without a guarantee of getting it back. I had paid what the contract stipulated and that was all I was paying. Period. The lawyer piped up again and told me that if I paid 290,000 baht there wouldn\'t be a problem. For the umpteenth time, I told them all that I wasn\'t paying a penny more and if that didn\'t satisfy them, I would see them all in court.</p>\n</p>\n<p>So, I am left with a house with half-finished walls and a roof. I hope this helps others see what can and does happen in Thailand when one makes a contract with a builder. I am sure not all contractors in Thailand are like this one, but watch out, they are out there. I\'ll keep you updated.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Phil\'s Comment</strong></p>\n<p>\n<p>Bloody hell Ralph! What a nightmare. You do sound though as if you\'ve managed to maintain a level of composure and dignity throughout the whole ordeal and I certainly commend you on that.</p>\n<p>My wife and I had a house built about five years ago, and while we didn\'t experience the problems you\'ve had, the process wasn\'t without its difficulties. In fact, my wife still refers to it as her \'nine months of hell\'.</p>\n<p>I knew from the get-go that choosing the right construction company was crucial. My wife read your horrific account of building a house and sadly, it came as no surprise to her. She\'s convinced that the vast majority of Thai construction companies are crooked. You only have to peruse a few Thai discussion forums to see that this isn\'t just a case of some dodgy builder trying it on with a foreigner. These things happen to the Thais as well.</p>\n<p>When we first put our plans into action, not only did we choose a company that had a very visible high street presence and advertised in a lot of magazines, but we drove around Bangkok looking for samples of their work. This wasn\'t difficult because the company would display a huge sign in front of the construction to let passers-by know who the developer was. And in several cases, when we saw a house that had been built by the company we were interested in, the homeowner would be delighted to chat with us and show us around their new home. We got some very valuable feedback that way.</p>\n<p>We too drew up and signed a contract with the construction company and we had a clause that stated my wife and I would be paid X amount for every single day over and beyond the proposed completion date. I thought this was a very good idea because it meant we could go out and buy furniture and stuff as the completion date got nearer.</p>\n<p>If I had to give just one piece of advice to anyone thinking of building a home, keep on top of the workers as much as you possibly can. I don\'t mean get in the way and make a nuisance of yourself but at the end of each day as the workers are packing up their materials to go home, physically go into the house and do a quick inspection, particularly in the latter \'cosmetic\' stages, when walls are being painted and plug sockets are being chopped in. Unfortunately this responsibility fell to my wife because I had quite a heavy work schedule at the time and couldn\'t be on-site except at the weekends. But my wife would call me every evening with the day\'s tale of woes, and trust me - there were always plenty of them. \"Today I caught one of the workers trying to paint around the light switches with the biggest paint-brush imaginable. There was more paint going on the light-fitting than on the wall\" This was typical of her catching the workers doing shoddy work.</p>\n</p>\n<p>We were not out to become Mr and Mrs Unpopular by standing behind the workers and tut-tutting at every opportunity. These workers earn a pittance. How would you feel if you were building a modest little house that you could only dream of living in and you wouldn\'t be living in anyway once it was finished. These guys have little incentive to do things with a great amount of care. We were fully aware of that but there has to be some standard or benchmark, especially when the construction company have seduced you with glossy brochures of what your final dream home will look like.</p>\n<p>An update to this article on <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/house-of-horrors-two/\">building a house in Thailand</a> was written in February 2010</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/halfhouse.jpg','2009-11-19 02:21:28',1,'2009-11-19 02:21:28','2010-03-03 20:08:29'),(979,50,'Graduation day 2','graduation-day-2','It\'s time to buy flowers again','Comparing a regular college graduation to the posh uni graduation I wrote about last year.  As with all sequels it\'s the same but different.\n','<p>Around a year ago I wrote a column about a graduation ceremony at Chula that I was privileged enough to be dragged out of bed at some unearthly hour of the morning for.\n<p>This year is was time to witness events at a cut price commercial college backslapping a.k.a graduation ceremony. The amount shelled out for the occasion by parents, spouses and significant others was well down on the Chula affair. Degrees were dished out by a well connected mate of the college owner rather than a top royal. Graduation gowns were cavernous &lsquo;one size fits no-one\' affairs and all appeared to have been recycled burkhas, courtesy of the Palace of Polyester (branches in Kabul &amp; Bangkok) - none of the tailored, gold trimmed, perspiration resistant affairs seen a year ago.</p>\n<p>However, one thing remained constant - the ridiculously early wake up time. A 5 am start wasn\'t required, this time round 3.30am wake up calls were the order of the day. The reason for this was that all preparation has to be done as a group activity. This starts with everyone calling each other to ensure that they\'ve woken up - this takes around 30 minutes to ascertain and is then followed by a generic chat about how exciting the day will be, what make-up to wear etc. The main time consuming early morning activity was the group trip to the beauty parlour. They all had to be permed, beautified in general and then coated in some form of waterproof glaze to prevent the caked make-up from peeling and thereby revealing the humanoid features hidden below.</p>\n<p>The soon to be graduate and her mates were a bit shocked to discover that the cost of a 4.30 am pampering was 750 baht/head. It took an outsider to point out that this was an actual case of supply and demand - the sort of thing they should have learnt, but probably wrote off as being boring and therefore inconsequential, during their Bachelors Degree Marketing course. After 10 am in the morning the customer is king, before 5 am the customer is a cash cow ready to be milked.</p>\n<p>By 7 am a penguin colony of nondescript rent-a-gown students was shuffling aimlessly outside the main hall of the Thai Cultural Centre. It was also time for the second communal breakfast of the day and a few pre-graduation photos. I guess for some kind of weird before and after comparison. A few hours crammed in a hall must be a life changing experience for some, fair enough, although I doubt that the results will show on a badly lit 4\" x 6\" print.</p>\n<p>Once everyone had been reminded to turn their mobiles off and had trooped into the hall I remembered my instructions. \"Go where you like but be back here for 12pm, make sue you\'ve got some flowers - nice ones, take photos of me coming down the steps.\" Not feeling the urge for a third breakfast, offered by family members of another one of the &lsquo;group\' - I went over to Fortune Town to kill a few hours. It\'s amazing how interesting looking for discounts in Tops supermarket is when you\'ve read both the Nation and Bangkok Post cover to cover and are afraid to splash out on a double decaf moccachino; as that self-indulgence might not leave me with enough money for an oversize bouquet.</p>\n<p>11.30am finally arrived and it was time to go flower shopping. In my absence the carpark had been transformed into a flower market with dozens of stalls selling displays of real, unreal and surreal blooms. As token farang I now stood out as being the main potential customer for all the sellers. Their interest seemed to wane when it was clear that I wasn\'t in the mood for the jovial haggling banter that was expected during this shopping experience. \"How much?\", \"150 baht.\", \"100 OK?\" \"No, cannot\" - I had this conversation four times until someone said \"Yes\" and I settled on a dozen white roses &amp; assorted foliage, wrapped in shiny purple plastic.</p>\n<p>Time to head into the hall to see how things were progressing from the safety of the public viewing area. Seems a few people were enjoying watching the never ending parade of graduates all carry out the same &lsquo; Enter stage right... Step 1,2,3...bow/curtsey 1,2,3... extend hand 1,2,3... clasp degree 1,2,3...reverse 1,2,3...bow/curtsey 1,2,3...reverse and exit stage left.\' drill whilst trying in vain to identify &lsquo;their\' graduate. Not an easy task at the best of times, but when you\'re 50 metres away and trying to identify someone from the back it requires a sniper\'s eye for detail. This was more effort than most up in the rafters were willing to make. The majority were sleeping, picnicking, chatting on the phone or generally ignoring the proceedings below.</p>\n<p>The ceremony did eventually end. I was there ready to thrust flowers into my beloved\'s hands and take photos. Her flowers were better than her friends (goes without saying) - two of whom had been given identical displays by husbands who seemed to be blissfully ignorant of the faux pas they had committed and the abject humiliation being suffered by their spouses. There was only one thing that could calm the situation - a group photo or more accurately 19 group photos all of which were, unsurprisingly, virtually identical to each other. My requests for a bit of variety were rejected out of hand. \"You don\'t have to have the same background in every shot. Stand in front of the sala.\", \"Smile\", \"Let\'s go crazy - this time hold your flowers in your left hand and degree in your right.\", \" Wipe your face, you look like you\'re melting.\"</p>\n<p>And so after a couple of lunches it was time for the gowns to be returned and to head to the nearest Kodak lab to order half a dozen prints of some of the most boring photos on the planet.

Those who decide to stay must now take the plunge and invest in some new threads. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it\'s off to Pratunam you go. Providing you\'re of average size then you can get hold of a half-decent outfit here. Fake Polo shirts abound and they\'ll last at least several months. You\'re a bit savvier now, having had some bad experiences with your plastic Bata shoes. Sure they were cheap but, after a few weeks of wear and tear, you\'d been forced to alter their composition from 100 per cent plastic to 60 per cent plastic and 40 per cent superglue. In addition you were getting a bit sick of having your socks meld to the inside of your shoes during hot weather.</p>\n<p><strong>On Child-Centered Learning</strong></p>\n<p>Child-centered education on the way out - a lost cause say teachers who gave it their all. Through my network of informants, which would put any military junta, and even Thai Rak Thai to shame, I managed to get hold of a diary from the Head Teacher at St Judas\' Academy for the Future Occupants of Inactive Positions.</p>\n<p>Day 1 - It won\'t work, mark my words</p>\n<p>Day 2 - Absolutely no hope of it working</p>\n<p>Day 3 - No point in trying - believe me it\'s not suitable for Thai kids.</p>\n<p>Day 4 - I can give you 34 reasons why it won\'t work, they\'re all in the staff room at this very moment.</p>\n<p>And so on . . . .</p>\n<p>Day 365 - See, told you so! On ISO</p>\n<p>ISO 9002...</p>\n<p>Private Thai schools have fallen in love with ISO9002. However, this only guarantees that endless procedures will be followed. Applied to a factory environment, for which ISO was originally intended, this means that all the products will be produced in an identical manner. The product may well be a pile of crap but that\'s irrelevant as long as the specified procedures were carried out during the manufacturing process. It has been mentioned that the only companies that apply for ISO 9002 are those who cant compete either because their products are of low quality or over priced. It\'s hoped that having an ISO seal of approval will increase sales amongst gullible consumers i.e. parents.</p>\n<p><strong>On Multiple Choice Test Papers...</strong></p>\n<p>Multiple guess tests are the test of choice in the majority of educational establishments. It\'s easy for the teachers to mark -- a computer usually does it -- and most of the students can manage to make some form of blot in one of the four boxes available -- so no loss of face about handing in a blank test paper.</p>\n<p><strong>On Private Students...</strong></p>\n<p>A phone call the day before your first class is the initial warning sign; the class is postponed due to a family visit up-country. Slowly the weeks pass. You begin to dread that now familiar phone call -</p>\n<p>\"Oh Mr. Ian, Nong has to practice her piano\",</p>\n<p>\"Oh Mr. Ian, it\'s yet another long weekend due to yet another public holiday.\"</p>\n<p>Then, at last, \"Oh Mr. Ian, can you teach the class tomorrow?\" and there it is, a bolt from the blue, you\'re left speechless. The Thai version of \'Endurance\' is over and you\'ve been declared the winner.</p>\n<p><strong>On Graduation Day...</strong></p>\n<p>With respect to successful attendance and participation in a graduation ceremony is directly proportional to the length of time spent in the beautician\'s chair. Having allowed a top make-up artist or enthusiastic gay friend, depending on budget, to work their magic the goofy, plain Jane is transformed into radiant butterfly or at least that\'s the theory. In practice it often turns out that the make-up artist is really a frustrated plasterer with an insatiable L\'Oreal obsession. And so the butterfly is smothered under quantities of gunk that even Coco the clown would consider overkill. Prior to the economic slowdown things were different of course. Old hands still remember the anti talcum powder &amp; mascara hoarding messages put out by the first Chuan government and the great blusher shortage of \'91 which resulted in 70 per cent of Chula\'s new alumni being photographed in right profile only.</p>\n<p><strong>On The Weakest Link...</strong></p>\n<p>The gist of the problem seems to be that this game show would be all fine and dandy if losers didn\'t lose face. Why not just give them a \'Hello Kitty\' gift bag and applaud them for a jolly good all round effort instead. Just like we do on every other inane monkey show on TV.</p>\n</p>','','2002-04-23 19:46:48',1,'2002-04-23 19:46:48','2009-11-23 09:09:49'),(981,50,'We care a lot','we-care-a-lot','Life in the fast lane revisited','An old one from last year, initially rejected on grounds on taste  - dead kids don\'t go down well with  the people in charge of the Nation Junior.

Barely a week goes by without seeing the face of a smiling shoeless, pre-teen pauper clad in school uniform gazing at me from the Outlook section.\n<p>Therefore this week I\'ll be switching from my usual role as &lsquo;Mr Negative bastard\' and metamorphosising into a caring \'Andrew Biggs\' type persona. That\'s the one in which I say nothing but nice things and only allude to the unmentionable naughtiness that goes on here with a knowing smile and a sly lilt of the head.</p>\n<p>Kids and their knowledge of the English language are the future of this country. I have a dream that one day every child will read the Nation Junior on a weekly basis but until that day comes you can sponsor a needy, English studying, Thai child simply by picking up the phone, dialing my number and giving me your credit card details.</p>\n<p>Admittedly there have been cases where gullible do-gooders have adopted a malnourished, twiggy, third world kid, paid a pound a week for their vaccinations, schooling and education only to find that the street urchin had popper her clogs and they\'d been supporting a corpse for the last few years. (No wonder she never appeared to age in her photos.) I guess I\'d be ,understandably, suspicious in the future if I had supported Nong Lek until she was 8, only to find out that she was eaten by street dogs when she was 5, and that since then, her father had been living the high life on my 60 baht a week contributions.</p>\n<p>Of course that would never happen with the &lsquo; We care the most\' fund (cue knowing smile and sly nod of the head). To give you an example of the type of dedicated kids I\'m looking to save, by giving a Nation Junior to every week, here\'s a taster to get your heart bleeding :</p>\n<p>\" Pornapa\'s mother didn\'t live long enough to teach her the ABC song. Luckily, Nong Pornapa\'s grandmother was on hand to provide her the fundamentals of English. The benefits of the countless hours Khun Yai spent drilling English phrases into the toddler\'s head could be seen in the language skills of the cheeky 7 year old whom I ran into outside the terraced awning Khun Yai and Nong Pornapa liked to call home.</p>\n<p>\"Hey you, farang. Buy me coke. Give me 10 ba . . . AAAAGGGHHHH ! ! \" was the cry as Nong Pornapa ran into the path of my Landcruiser, in which I\'d made the grueling 15 km journey along the dusty highway from Bang Na. As I handed over 5,000 baht to Khun Yai, and bought beer Changs for the guys wiping blood stains from the Landcruiser\'s bullbars, I reflected on what might have been if only Nong Pornapa had been sitting under the banana tree reading her &lsquo;Nation Junior\' instead of being allowed to run wild in the streets. If only someone had donated $9.95 a month this tragedy would never have occurred. Is that really too higher price to prevent the end of innocence?\"</p>\n<p>Every week a different deprived kid will be featured. Of course strict criteria have been laid down to ensure that no usurpers are allowed to benefit from the generosity of others. Hope givers<sup>TM</sup>, as I like to call those of you generous enough to lend a helping hand, should realize that we simply can\'t go around giving free subscriptions to all those from deprived families - a limit has to be drawn somewhere.</p>\n<p>After a few days of deliberations it was decided to market this scheme to, what the sales department with their &lsquo;Hey, we could easily sell this to advertisers\'- attitude, like to call, the &lsquo;pinnacle of the pitiable\'.</p>\n<p>I therefore pledge that all kids will be doe-eyed and will live alone with their grandmother, who, ideally, will be on her last legs. Any kids from families who earn over 20 Baht/day will automatically be excluded, as will those who don\'t possess a freshly laundered school shirt to be photographed in. Disfigured and non-photogenic offspring will likewise be excluded. A full money back guarantee will be offered to any donator, if blemishes on the child - previously put down to the after effects of leptospirosis, turns out to be nothing more than unpleasant acne scars.</p>\n<p>Having said all this, I realize that to some paying $9.95 a month for four issues of a 10 Baht magazine may seem like a rip-off but, if that\'s your attitude, then your missing the point of the exercise.</p>\n<p>Hope. Hope for the kids <sup>TM</sup>. How can you put a value on that?</p>\n<p>Kids like Nong Pornapa (only still breathing) will read the Nation Junior and be filled with the hope that one day, they can speak sufficient English in order to get a job with a salary high enough to be able to afford a bottle of one of the high calcium, low fat, flavoured yoghurt drinks that are frequently advertised.</p>\n</p>','','2002-04-16 19:49:24',1,'2002-04-16 19:49:24','2009-11-23 09:09:25'),(982,50,'TV Times','tv-times','In front of the idiot\'s lantern','Taking a bit of TV from my youth and seeing how it would work here in Thailand.  Also doubles as a biting social commentary on the effects of TV on a nation\'s youth - especially if you have a few beers before reading. \n','<p>Weekday mornings during the primary school summer holidays used to be spent watching the type of TV show that\'s sorely lacking in Thailand. From 9 till 11am it was a veritable feast of pioneering \'edutainment\' although the term had yet to be invented. First, it was Sesame Street with Big Bird teaching us all talking to strangers was wrong but bursting into spontaneous song with a grown man in an 8 foot-canary costume was perfectly acceptable; \'X\' was a bugger of a letter to base an entire show around and New York was the safest city on earth.\n<p>Later, as cognitive powers developed and reasoned thought made an appearance, the first shadows of doubt about the goings on in Sesame Street took hold. There aren\'t any birds that tall, monsters aren\'t green and don\'t live in \'garbage cans\' - hang on, we don\'t call dustbins \'garbage cans\'. Then there was the revelation that there was really a guy inside Mr Snuffalupagus and the end of innocence was upon us. At the back of your mind there was also the nagging doubt that although Maria was pretty hot, you somehow knew that nothing would ever come of her flirtings with the over tanned guy who\'d been with the show since the start and who was curiously platonic with everyone. Although, even to the casual observer, he clearly had a special bond with Bert and Ernie - the guys in matching pyjamas.</p>\n<p>Within the space of two summers you\'d graduated from humming along to meaningless songs about the letter \'Zee\' to something altogether more grown up - \' Why don\'t you?\'. \'Why don\'t you?\' was a TV show which encouraged mid to late 1970s youth to get off their backsides and go and save the world - or at least hold a \'Bring and Buy\' sale in their little corner of it. \"Why don\'t you just switch off your television set and go and do something more interesting instead.\" - the catchy jingle told the watching millions - an idea which parents quickly adopted.</p>\n<p>\"Look at those kids in Belfast spending their summer holidays fundraising to save the Amazon and organising a Republicans vs. Unionists 5-a-side footie tournament to benefit hunger strikers, from both factions, in the Maze. Why don\'t you go and do something like that? You\'re almost ten you shouldn\'t be spending your days in front of the TV.\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, let\'s see . . . Could well be because I\'m not allowed out after 8 pm. Belfast kids get to play with petrol bombs - I don\'t. Their school went up in smoke 2 years ago and those lucky sods haven\'t been since. I live in a small village in Yorkshire therefore I neither know ,nor care ,where the Amazon is however, if you give me 50p I\'ll go and cut it down on Saturday morning. Seeing as I don\'t have a corporate sponsor willing to shell out for the costs involved in inviting George Best out of retirement for a one off, once in a lifetime (until the next time) event I\'d be happy to go and kick a ball around with the kid from next door but that\'s as far as it goes. And let\'s be honest, the Women\'s Institute have a monopoly on all tombolas, lucky dips and underground lotteries within a three mile radius.\"</p>\n<p>And lo, a cynical, sarcastic bastard was born.</p>\n<p>Which leads me nicely onto the offering for Thai kids who are going through those difficult Kindergarten and Prathom years. Decent edutainment is thin on the ground. It\'s a case of enduring toddlers stumbling around in heels attempting traditional Thai dances, glove puppets that put \' Lambchop\' to shame in the creativity stakes and an ambience that suggests the show was put together as a bet to see how little could be spent on half an hour of national TV.</p>\n<p>What we need is a show that combines the cheeriness of Sesame Street, the get up and go of \'Why don\'t you?\' with a bit of local flavour. And this is it, achieved with a development budget of 37 Baht - coincidentally the price of a bottle of Super Leo.</p>\n<p>The setting a traditional Thai house, landscaped gardens, the type virtually everyone would like to live in - see Sesame Street\'s sanitised NYC as a reference. If we can get M.R. Kukrit\'s old place on Suan Plu then that\'d be ideal. It\'d be occupied by an extended family. Good for inter generational passing on of ideas &amp; traditions, respect for elders, team building activities with cousins etc etc.</p>\n<p>There would also be walk on parts for Mr Somchai the mailman who\'d pull up on his ozone destroying two-stroke and hurl the mail over the fence with a cheery \"Uh!\" Also popping in from time to time will be \'Yui the Yakult woman\' whose destined to run over a kid on her pushbike and be hauled before the courts and sued for all she\'s got in an episode on lack of road safety and consequences if you can\'t afford good legal representation.</p>\n<p>They\'ll also be a dark skinned security guard who as we\'ll finally discover in episode 783 isnt really a crazed wife murdering alcoholic lunatic, despite his outward appearance. He is in fact a decent caring guy who sends his 1,200 Baht weekly pay packet back to his family upcountry. As with all important lessons it takes time to learn. However, in show 784, he appears sporting a newly grown moustache and is immediately accused of stealing the family jewel\'s, which just goes to show that you can never trust the peasants. Another pf life\'s important lessons.</p>\n<p>At this point we\'ve got stuff that will keep the Mums happy but need something cuddly for the younger kids. Cute animals.</p>\n<p>\"Who\'s that crawling under the gate? Why, it\'s Sammy the soi dog. Has your mange cleared up, Sammy?\"</p>\n<p>\" Perhaps, if you fed me something other than 5 baht of boiled rice a day it would. I\'m a friggin\' carnivore for Christ\'s sake\"</p>\n<p>Of course the animals talk. It\'s called artistic license and giving rabid scavengers a cute persona has been proven increase awareness of their plight. This tactic also works for endangered species. Take pandas. National Geographic channel rate them as being responsible for more deaths in China last year than those big spiders that hide under in the overflow of the sink. A frightening statistic your average 6 year old doesn\'t need to know and so, with the exception of \'Incy Wincy\' spider, spiders are fear inducing devil\'s spawn from Hades and pandas are cute, cuddly and certified \'Kidsafe\'.</p>\n<p>All that\'s needed now are a few worthy causes for the kids to devote their time to. Let\'s take a peek over the fence, those discarded M-150 bottles, adults in \'San Francisco Blue Sox Premier Conference Basketball 1987\' t-shirts and the sound of a hundred counterfeit Sony Playstations in use can only mean one thing - it\'s a slum. More, than a slum, it\'s an opportunity for the kids to to do good in the neighbourhood.</p>\n<p>Social activism should be taught from an early age and the sooner the kids learn that there\'s no place in the neighbourhood for a slum the better. This is even more relevant when land prices are on the up again and Uncle Prasit\'s building company has bulldozers ready to move in and clear the area in preparedness for a new upmarket shopping plaza and Japanese buffet restaurant. So, \"Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho it\'s off to City Hall we go.\" Then back to the house, stopping on the way for a chorus of \" One of these kids is not like the others\" as a 5-year old garland seller presses her nose up to the window of the MPV at Asoke junction.</p>\n<p>The afternoon is spent catering for the brave firemen who came to the scene of the blaze, despite a recently enacted hosepipe ban in the area, and tried in vain for 10 minutes to beat of the inferno with back issues of Cosmo, which were collected in anticipation of such an emergency. In the evening the family gathers for a period of reflection, it\'s time to sit back, throw on a few pieces of chicken onto the embers and reflect on what we\'ve all learnt today.</p>\n</p>','','2002-04-09 20:03:59',1,'2002-04-09 20:03:59','2009-11-23 10:10:00'),(983,50,'The ajarnies','the-ajarnies','The alternative to the oscars','Having watched the Oscars and been suitable moved by Halle Berry\'s dress I decided it was high time for an awards ceremony for those unsung heroes of the education system i.e. the teachers.

(Don\'t hold your breath more thought went into the name for the awards than the rest of the column this week.)\n<p>The Ajarnies . . . . . the first awards dedicated to needlessly glorifying the English teaching fraternity in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Held behind closed doors in (the same city as) the Ballroom of the world renowned Oriental Hotel, the inaugural Ajarnies combined the thrill of a Monday morning teachers\' meeting and the glamour of an upcountry Rajabhat Sports Day with the excitement of an over-rehearsed college graduation ceremony. In attendance were a host of celebrated mummified khunyings, liggers attracted by the open bar and free for all buffet and freelancers. The latter attending in the hope of attracting the attention of the aforementioned liggers rather than having any interest in the 12 karat rolled gold Ajarnie statuettes being given away as though they were 50 baht trinkets from a market stall - which, oddly enough, they were.</p>\n<p>Taking heed from this years official slogan \"Everyone\'s a whiner winner at the Ajarnies!\" all attendees went home with no fewer than four awards each. This was partly due to the effort to save face amongst the hi-so set who\'d had &lsquo;guaranteed winner\' clauses built into their invitation acceptance messages and partly due to a balls up with the ordering.</p>\n<p>As followers of the local media may have noticed, the advertising build up to the \"non-televised event of the decade\" focused initially on a method pioneered by TA Orange, that of using abstract images to conjure up feelings of desire. The initial promo material consisted of a soft focus plate of cheese with the bulleted word &lsquo;Dutch\' over a mouldy piece of Gouda and the word &lsquo;English\' ( in bold Times Roman ) hovering above a proud, towering slab of cheddar. This resulted in a total of 2 applications for free tickets. The follow up ad, that was similar in using a plain black background, simply stated that there was &lsquo;Free beer\' and noted that &lsquo;A few tarts might show up\' then gave the location. This resulted in a rush for tickets the like of which hadn\'t been seen since The Nation Junior\'s last \"Dinner with Biggs\" party night.</p>\n<p>All of which proves the success of the initial ads in planting subliminal messages in the audience\'s minds and in no way reflects on the fact that, in this county, people are only motivated when you can show that they get something for free or at a knockdown price.</p>\n<p>Back to the \"night of a thousand stars\" although there appeared to be more stars on the Head of Security\'s oversized epaulettes than actually in the crowd. Incidentally many thanks to AUA for providing the security and ensuring that everyone, after being fingerprinted, retina scanned, DNA tested and having undergone a lie detector test, was seated within 5 and a half hours of entering the building. This wasn\'t altogether successful as it did result in a large number of the British-American contingent failing to gain entry as their answer to the first question \"Where do you work?\" always induced a response which sent the plotter haywire. Numerous, incorrect, negative responses to the follow up question \"Are you an English teacher?\" further reduced the numbers allowed through the doors. (Tip: Next year, spend at least a week rehearsing in front of the mirror: \" No, I\'m an investment banker.\", \" No, I work at the embassy.\", \" Actually, I\'m a Nigerian drug dealer.\" Only then will you be able to beat the system and can step out into the brave new world conmfidently.)</p>\n<p>Once inside, the near deserted beer garden was treated to a recital of last year\'s opening soliloquy from the Thai TESOL conference.

Partly due to the paper receiving a few requests to have it reprinted (honest) and partly due to the Education Editor taking the weekend off to go to the music festival in Pattaya.\n','<p>The very mention of this, ahem, quality standard brightens up the eyes of garden centre and pet store owners throughout Bangkok. If a school or college is considering buying or even, in some extreme cases, achieving ISO status, then a few hundred thousand baht\'s worth of landscaping work, ornamental flowers and Japanese carp is the first order of the day.\n<p>A common misconception is that if a school attains ISO status then it\'s a top quality establishment that provides top quality teaching for top quality students. Unfortunately, this isn\'t the case and in reality the attainment of ISO is more down to the combined efforts of gardeners and landscape artists than the teachers.</p>\n<p>My previous college is in the process of applying for ISO certification - every single, living thing (including the street dogs that wander into the canteen from time to time) has a yellow, plastic name tag on it. One farcical scene involved plants being moved from one place to another during an ISO inspection. The college was suffering an unexpected plant deficit, therefore the small number of well cared for potted shrubs were being lugged around from building to building. Thus, no matter where the inspectors went, they were sure to be greeted by the sight of yuccas swaying in the breeze.</p>\n<p>At the entrance to my present school a large sign proudly proclaims its ISO status. We\'ve got orchids hanging from balconies and a veritable jungle was planted near the new toilet block, which has since withered and died. Apparently ISO doesn\'t require you to actually tend to the plants, only to plant them.</p>\n<p>Of course I\'m oversimplifying the ISO application process, plants are only half the equation. The other half involves putting multicoloured stickers on everything that isn\'t animal or vegetable. It\'s boom time for stationery shops. Circular day glow stickers cover every surface and, accompanying each set of stickers, is a chart that explains, in simple language, what each sticker corresponds to. In case that isn\'t enough and people still have problems working out how to switch on the room lights, the corresponding item, be it a light, fan, cupboard etc has an identical sticker on it.</p>\n<p>As if spending half the schools annual budget on greenery and the remainder on \'idiot proofing\' rooms wasn\'t enough, then the amount of paperwork involved in getting the simplest of tasks done increases dramatically. There is now a procedure for everything. You want a new stapler, fill out a request form, hand it to the head of your department who will sign it and pass it along to her senior.</p>\n<p>At this point you discover that the school\'s one carp short of the required ISO approved compliment, so your request has been denied. The following day a new carp arrives, two days later the fish is found belly up - it appears to have been bludgeoned to death with an office implement. Fellow teachers notice a smug smile of revenge on your face. And so the circle of ISO life grinds on.</p>\n<p>Of course the fact that your school has ISO status does have it\'s good points - for a start the school can charge higher fees to unsuspecting parents who are led to believe that ISO status somehow equates to a higher standard of teaching. ISO merely states that apart from having a few pot plants and a large fishpond, the school has written procedural manuals for everything that a procedural manual can be written for.</p>\n<p>ISO only guarantees that endless procedures will be followed. Applied to a factory environment, for which ISO was originally intended, this means that all the products will be produced in an identical manner. The product may well be a pile of crap but that\'s irrelevant as long as the specified procedures were carried out during the manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>It has been mentioned that the only companies that apply for ISO 9002 are those who cant compete either because their products are of low quality or over priced. It\'s hoped that having an ISO seal of approval will increase sales amongst gullible consumers.</p>\n<p>Ditto schools and colleges in Thailand? You tell me. After schools in Hong Kong went on an ISO rampage, a report in Newsweek, I think, quoted one of the territory\'s top academics as noting that the profusion of schools leaping on the ISO bandwagon was the worst thing to happen to the education system in living memory.</p>\n<p>Fine if you\'re building robots, not so good if, on the one hand you\'re trying to promote \'child-centered learning\' and on the other insisting that there\'s a set way to do everything and that all kids are treated in an identical manner. \"I\'m a person, not a number\".

Low and behold, the Benz is reborn shortly after passing through customs in numbered component form.</p>\n<p>When I use my AIS phone I can, on days when the wind is in the right direction, I\'m not inside a large building and I\'m wearing my lucky socks get a signal that allows me to hear packets of ones and zeros in their unencrypted form. This leads me to believe that as well as having the technology to encrypt transmissions AIS also have the technology to decode it as well. For some reasons the journalist never got round to mentioning this fact to the wise man from phone empire, who went on to add \"We have an order prohibiting any purchase of phone-tapping equipment for our own use.\" At which point no-one piped up -\"So what if the purchase order was in the name of , say the bosses son, and the equipment was then leased back to AIS at a nominal fee. Would that be OK then?\"</p>\n<p>Taking their lead form the elders and betters you\'ll find that Thai students have long since done away with the common and garden varieties of excuses used by the British counterparts \"A dog ate my homework.\" Therefore excuses of the \"There was a slum fire and I lost all my belongings, including my homework, except my knock-off David Beckham 1999 treble winners bobble hat.\" And the yet more bizarre \"My friend didn\'t do it for me.\" Are old hat to the majority of teachers.</p>\n<p>What sadder to look at, in a disheartening \"Thank God it\'s them and not me. That\'s just sad.\" kind of manner, are teachers\' excuses for being late, not doing work that\'s required, not showing up etc. This is the one creative area where the Thai learners excel and the teacher fails. Possibly due to the chemicals involved during the creative process. One group dream up excuses whilst bouncing off walls in an MDMA-zing trance. The others whilst in a beer haze.</p>\n<p>As the only thing you tend to remember clearly in the beer haze are panic attack flashbacks disguised as fond memories, excuses barely get above the \"I didn\'t know about it.\" or \"No-one told me about it.\" level. The purveyors of this type of excuse seem to believe that the verb &lsquo;tell\' also implies having the information received actually tattooed on the recipients forehead. Check the mirror and no tattoo = no recollection.</p>\n<p>The ever faithful \"food poisoning\" gambit rears its head at a frequency that would have Governor Samark rushing to close down every food stall in a 500 metre radius of Sukhumvit Soi 4 if news ever reached him. The root cause is often not so much the one last squid-on-a-stick that was eaten but rather the susceptibility of the stomach lining to excess wheat, barley and hops. Teetotalers have reported that their drinks have been laced with these additives in numerous bars along the skytrain route. One moment they\'re discussing methods of eliciting phrasal verbs from a class and the next they wake up in the gutter outside a 7-11, with no clue as to what happened other their wallet being 1,000 Baht lighter and a book of matches from the &lsquo;Number One\' walk in motel taking the place of their genuine Zippo - a recently purchased relic from &lsquo;Nam</p>\n<p>No way would you get wrecked on a week night because you\'re a professional - one wearing a happy smile and whose blood shot eyes compliment the red chili stain adorning your freshly pressed, or at least it was 24 hours ago, shirt.</p>\n<p>Take note, the one lesson we can all learn, whilst guests in this country, is to take a leaf out the guide to good corporate governance and be creative with your excuses.

In response to this slightly exaggerated view I had several of my staff put together this week\'s column dispelling the myth.','<p>I\'ve noticed a few teachers mentioning a bit of an &lsquo;us and them\' divide developing between language schools ruling class and the proletariat. In an effort to lay these fears to rest once and for all I asked a prominent DoS for his take on the gap in understanding between himself and those he likes to call &lsquo;Generation Whine\'\n<p>Dear Colleagues</p>\n<p>There\'s been a lot said recently about the cushy, jet setting lifestyle that Academic Directors, Directors of Studies and School Managers are rumoured by some to lead. Stories abound about how we live off the fruits of the labour of downtrodden teachers whilst barely a thought of your enduring hardship enters our minds.</p>\n<p>Personally, I don\'t stop working, I cant just clock on and off like an illegal Burmese factory worker, as some of you are fortunate enough to be able to do. It\'s a 24/7 position. At present I\'m sitting here, on the poolside terrace, contemplating this month\'s &lsquo;Grand Idea\' which, in order to tighten our belts in these hard times, revolves around you being paid a salary based on the actual amount your students learn during a course and not on the number of hours you teach them. I think it\'s a winner. More about that in our Monday morning meeting.</p>\n<p>Of course, I can turn off from work for brief periods for example on yesterday I spent a pleasant evening sipping imported Vimto with a fellow high ranking educator. The Vimto, I should add, courtesy of Patel\'s in West Bromwich who actually deliver. A fact which surprised both myself and my chum who bet me that we couldn\'t blow the entire staff profit sharing scheme on flying a 2 litre bottle of the UK\'s finest carbonated fruit drink half way around the world business class. Looks like I lose again, Tim.</p>\n<p>I do occasionally think to myself \"What more can I do for my staff to make their lives as good as mine?\" However such thoughts of pity don\'t linger long as I know constantly commiserating people on their bad luck doesn\'t build a happy team as my members of staff with the misfortune to hail from Canada will, no doubt testify - albeit it anonymously on a discussion board in far off cyberspace. I realise that should they see me, with my considerable wealth, knowledge and smooth, almost teflon-like ability to get out of tricky situations, moping around, they\'ll wonder what hope is there for themselves in this dog eat dog ( or man eat dog, for the upcountry staff) world.</p>\n<p>Little do they realise it wasn\'t always like this. There was a time when I\'d wish that marker board pen salesman returned my calls, now I\'ve got a guy bugging me to have my likeness on the \"EZ Write 500\" the Mont Blanc of boardmarkers. Not that I\'ve got time to get involved with mundane marketing ideas designed to enhance my public image when there are more important concerns to pay lips service to on a daily basis.</p>\n<p>Last Friday I had a &lsquo;to do\' list a mile long to clear before the driver came to pick me up at 3pm. Choosing the correct time to leave the office is always a minefield. Leave too early and your employees get the wrong impression. This can be avoided by walking out with your mobile stuck to your ear. Talking loudly to no-one about \"urgent meeting . . . OK 10 minutes . . . . Head Office . . . . . .need my input . . . . .6 million baht contract . . . . \" can lend an air of authenticity to the lunchtime flit. It\'s on fair I share some of the secrets of my success and the real beauty of this particular one is that you don\'t have to tell anyone face to face and you can rely on one of the Thai staff to overhear you. Then, when a teacher fretting about a few thousand baht he\'s owed that disappeared into the ether that is the Thai banking system, comes looking for you the Thai staff will pipe up and relay their overheard, indirect message.</p>\n<p>Of course, being a professional I\'d never do such a thing. Therefore, I took an early lunch in order to give me some time to gather my thoughts about the best way to organise my valuable time. By pure coincidence I ran into an old friend at a noodle stall on Ratchadapisk Rd. It goes without saying that these two international bright young things (ourselves) couldn\'t very well sit and chat at an outdoor food stall. Glancing over my left shoulder I spied the welcoming neon of the Poseidon Complex. Having checked our respective wallets for corporate credit cards we decided that a chat in an aircon atmosphere would be more in keeping with chaps of our status.</p>\n<p>Networking is all part of the job, another aspect that some &lsquo;newbies\' fail to grasp. It can be a chore, as in the above case or it can be a pleasure as in the annual Thai TESOL get togethers where the farang and Thai hierarchy get to mingle for an hour or two\'s mindless waffle in an all expense paid setting. This is usually followed by two separate working parties being formed - one Thai and one farang. The former will stay in the conference hall and attend enlightening plenary speeches by booksellers and guys with Italian names who have an annoying ability to churn out international best selling grammar reference books.</p>\n<p>The Farang working party will often be forced, due to the sheer number of hotel staff getting under their feet, to retreat to a cosy bar across the street where opinions will be sought, tips on psychology and body language discussed and marketing strategies reviewed. Then once the girls have finally agreed a price it\'s back to the penthouse suite, that the Aussie guys always seem to con their Rajabhat into paying for, for some private teaching. Three days straight of that carry on does tend to leave you needing a few days break when you get back to work. But hey, you\'ve schmoozed, mingled and pressed more than your fair share of flesh (if you know what I mean) and you owe it to yourself to spend a few days replenishing your bodily fluids.</p>\n<p>But such freeloading jaunts seldom happen more than once a month. The daily grind begins with arriving at the office at 9 am, 30 minutes before the Thai staff who aren\'t due until 8.30 am (Thai time) arrive, and a full 5 hours before our most dynamic educator can shake himself out of his comatose state, drag himself backwards through a hedge or whatever they do to achieve that authentic &lsquo;teacher\' look. The morning will be spent in endless meetings, the minutes of which are subject to an in house 30 year secrecy law. Undemocratic, maybe but with an obvious reason, if you knew in advance you\'d be fired you\'d quit wouldn\'t you? There\'s no &lsquo;I\' in team - make a note of that. Afternoons are spent on the phone finalising deals, checking on teachers in other locations and keeping tabs on the latest TEFL related news - courtesy of Stickman\'s Weekly. And then the drive back to the house in late afternoon, a quick walk with the dogs in the park, dinner on the gazebo, and then to bed.</p>\n<p>Having lifted the veil of secrecy that has shrouded the elevated ranks of your superiors I hope you now have a better understanding of what makes them tick. We\'re human too, but understand that during this difficult period, it\'s important to ensure the survival of the great trees and not the brushwood.

Can the punters take the truth? The punters in question being the great unwashed who make up the farang English teaching fraternity here.</p>\n<p>It was only after J.E. had grown disillusioned with what he termed the &lsquo;daydream believers who inhabit the discussion board\' and the overtly and at times cynical manner that I myself (I\'m not immune to criticism) talk up the prospects and lifestyle for teachers in Bangkok, that he decided to offer to set the record straight.</p>\n<p>Of course the Diary isn\'t 100% accurate, real names are changed, there is no \"Bangkok Jams Co Ltd\".

Several years of being used and abused by a succession of D.o.Ss. at halfway houses masquerading as language schools have clearly taken their toll. The initial enthusiasm which once burned bright in J.E.\'s heart has long since been replaced with a feeling of despair. In a more sombre, and indeed sobre, moment J.E. confided that his thoughts have often turned to packing it all in and heading back to Blighty.

To all those who reckon it\'s going to turn the youth of Thailand into uncaring, insensitive yobs only interested in one thing (Clue : It isn\'t the preservation of traditional Thai culture - as if anything else mattered.), think back to your school days.</p>\n<p>Teachers have been enjoying there own not quite so sophisticated version of ritual humiliation since time began. You\'ve got to do something to liven up time in the classroom and if you can\'t make teaching enjoyable for yourself then who can you make it enjoyable for. Certainly not the brats who expect &lsquo;student centered learning every lesson. Me! Me ! Me ! is that all they think about. Not as though they have to make any effort. Come to school, \"no books\" say the experts, \"no heavy bags\" says Mr Thaksin, \"no beatings with a well worn cane\" say the legal experts, \"no point \" says everyone in the teachers room.</p>\n<p>Having students stand up in class till they get the correct answer to a question doesn\'t come across as a sign of a caring, sharing personality trait. Having not got the answer on the first three attempts should be an indicator to the teacher that, perhaps ,the student isn\'t trying to undermine their authority by answering incorrectly, and in actuality they don\'t know the answer.

Why not just give them a \"Hello Kitty\" gift bag and applaud them for a jolly good all round effort instead. Just like we do on every other inane monkey show on TV.</p>\n<p>Another factor that doesn\'t really help matters is that whilst Anne Robinson, the presenter in the UK and USA is a real superior, intellectual bitch onscreen she doesn\'t really have any trouser stirring abilities no matter how hard you fantasise. For anyone in the UK she\'s the smarmy one who read the letters on points of View after Barry Took became persona non-grata at the BBC.

From evil farangs to members of the recently formed \"Thai teens for eternal chastity, at least until Mr Right comes along\" movement (Motto: \"I\'d rather be a rich man\'s Mia Noi, than a poor man\'s first love\") the desire to be treated roughly in the privacy of a padded dungeon by the stern K. Krittika rears it\'s ugly head.</p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago a teacher was voted off the show burst into tears and begged her pupils not to think she was stupid. Good grief. She went on a game show that has the sole intention of making losers look like idiots and quite without chance, vice versa.

Firstly, the middle class, naive, fresh graduates who have spent 6 months researching on the \'net and finally, after becoming experts on all aspects of Thailand, narrowed down their job search to \"somewhere cool in Thailand that\'s got sit down toilets, a world class hospital 15 minutes away and yet retains some olde worlde ethnic charm\". The other group is made up of \'mid-life career changers\'. The politically correct term for guys who are 40, feel they\'re reached the pinnacle of their current jobs and are disillusioned about future career prospects.

Some are bitter, cynical hardened monkeys who are guaranteed to give the token farang grief when it comes to quibbling about the reimbursement of bus fares or missing 10 baht per hour course completion bonus. These are rather too thick on the ground in Thailand for many schools liking. The other, more sedate monkeys are those that currently inhabit colder more inhospitable climes - such as Skegness. (A town so bland that the most interesting fact about it is that it\'s name is an anagram of \' Ngesseks\' an ancient Zimbabwean tribe who disappeared off the face of the earth in a mass suicide. The cordless bungee from Victoria Falls was prompted by an officer from the Queen\'s Own remarking on the fact that \'Ngesseks\' was in fact an anagram of the name of his home town in Blighty.)</p>\n<p>So, the conundrum facing the owner, of what the promotional flyers proudly proclaim as a \"Center for English genius ability and computer\", is how to lure the chilled peanut munchers across the sea to sunnier climes. The answer is simple, use the internet. \"Build it and they will come.\" a great man, or possibly Kevin Costner in \'Field of Dreams\', once said.

But this is nothing when it comes to getting a grip on locations within a new and exotic country. As a rule, if you\'ve never heard of the place, don\'t go there - there\'s always a painfully obvious reason why you\'ve never heard of it.

Living in a backwater can\'t be used as an excuse to do whatever you like though.

But even in this backwater, the &lsquo;Lead, the metal you can chew!\' posters have long since disappeared from sight now visitors will be pleased to learn.

Addressing the first point, you can\'t go through life never having to experience loss of face. On second thoughts you can, but if you do then you\'ve obviously never made a decision in your life. Which unfortunately, would be the norm here and I guess supports the moral majority\'s view. As for &lsquo;the children didn\'t like it\' - oddly enough I always thought that was the idea of a punishment. \"Do that again and you can play Counterstrike on the computer all lesson!\" doesn\'t have the same effect in my limited experience.</p>\n<p>Added to the mix is the revelation that there\'s nothing in the Thai Education law that covers this type of bizarre twisted punishment. And you know what? There\'s probably nothing in there that says teachers can\'t dress up as David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust period, force feed a Grade 6 student with donuts until they vomit and then toss them off the roof of a building attached to a bungee cord made from boy scout bandanas. But I still guess it\'d be frowned upon if any teacher went &lsquo;postal\' and attempted it.</p>\n<p>Kru Lakhanee says \" It\'s OK because everyone was treated in the same manner.\" If I remember correctly Hitler did a similar thing with the Jews. So Kru Lakhanee, from my prospective your heart\'s in the right place I\'m sure, it\'s just a pity your brain isn\'t.</p>\n<p>The root of a lot of problems in school is teacher training. Many teachers have a fixed mindset that automatically rejects anything new as &lsquo;a bad thing\' and anything they\'re used to doing as a &lsquo;good thing\'. By pure chance, I was shown an email that a friend at work had received relating to how corporate policy is formed. This seemed to lend itself to an educational adaptation :</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back in time. Start with a classroom in the first teacher training university in the country. In the room there are a select band of five hopeful undergraduates, all keen &amp; eager to venture into the brave new world of education. Their hearts are full of creative ideas and activities that would one day, far in the future, become known as &lsquo;student centered\'. In charge is one dictatorial old guy, with a reputation for cruel and unusual punishments.</p>\n<p>When an undergrad had an idea that didn\'t conform to the respected Ajarn\'s ideas he turned on a hose and all the other would be teachers were blasted with ice-cold water. After a while another of the undergrads offered a novel solution to a problem and the same thing happened - the other undergrads received a soaking from their respected elder. When another of the class ventured to speak out fellow class members, guessing what might happen next, leapt on her and prevented her from speaking.</p>\n<p>The following day one of the original class dropped out and was replaced by a new idealistic undergrad. The Ajarn threw out a request for suggested activities, she began to pipe up and, to her surprise, all her classmates virtually mugged her. An hour later and after another classroom mugging, she realized what would happen if she stated her own opinions. The next day, another of the original group calls it a day and is replaced, the following day a fourth and finally the fifth and final member of the original class is replaced.</p>\n<p>Everytime the newest undergrad attempts to question the teacher or state an opinion they get the proverbial shit kicked out of them. Most of the undergrads beating them have no idea why they aren\'t permitted to speak out or why they are giving their classmate a good hiding.</p>\n<p>After replacing all the original undergrads, none of those in the class have ever undergone punishment by ice-old water cannon. However, none of them venture of speak their mind.</p>\n<p>Why not?</p>\n<p>Because as far as they\'re concerned that\'s the way it\'s always been done and that\'s the only way they know.</p>\n<p>And that\'s what\'s got to change.</p>\n</p>','','2002-01-29 23:05:23',1,'2002-01-29 23:05:23','2009-11-23 13:01:24'),(993,50,'A worrying thought','a-worrying-thought','Bizarre Thai student behavior','A slightly deep, for me at least, look into the psyche of learning.  I begin by disecting the misonomer (or is it) \" No one can teach anyone anything\" and end up with a kid sticking his finger in a plug socket.\n','<p>\"Teaching is a misnomer - no one can teach anyone anything.\"\n<p>Why?</p>\n<p>Individuals learn and all that anyone else can do is provide a, hopefully, conducive environment for this to happen in. (OK, it\'s a bit deep at this point but it gets better, bear with me.)</p>\n<p>Learning takes time. It doesn\'t happen overnight. It can\'t happen if you pop a magic pill. It won\'t happen if you feed your head with the contents of Thai Rath\'s entertainment pages. Surprisingly enough, it\'s one of the better reasons why we have schools and universities.</p>\n<p>A reasonably pleasant environment also helps, but is not absolutely necessary. Landscaped gardens, flamingo filled lakes, mock Greco-Roman architecture does help a little but it can only go so far.</p>\n<p>Another way to look at it is that someone who is cold and hungry probably won\'t grasp the intricacies of nuclear physics quickly, but they will very soon learn how to keep warm and find food - unless of course they\'ve spent their entire life relying on the Burmese maid for everything.</p>\n<p>Other components required for a half decent stab at successful learning, in no particular order, are background, motivation, confidence and skills.</p>\n<p>It is impossible to learn something without having the necessary background knowledge and /or skills for it. No one runs before walking, or walks before crawling. Unless, like some lab rats, your DNA has been tampered with and you emerge from the womb as a fully functioning, genetically programmed hunter gatherer, fired up and ready to go.</p>\n<p>Similarly, and pretty obviously, no one can understand complex numbers without understanding normal numbers, or negative sentences without understanding positive ones etc. Understanding such as this isn\'t shared equally amongst all God\'s creations. This is something individual, determined largely by the physical and social environment which we\'re all exposed to. Plankton, Chihuahuas and some Mattayom 1 students tend to end up with the arse-end of the deal. Their share of the ability to understand has been cruelly ripped from their double helix by the hand of God and divided amongst dolphins, chess prodigy\'s and people who\'ve figured out how to order numerous main courses at a Thai restaurant and have them all served simultaneously, rather than at twenty minute intervals.</p>\n<p>What I\'m getting at is that learners thus vary greatly in their ability to learn particular subjects and/or skills. Not only ability to understand intellectual concepts but also physical ones. One youth\'s motor skills may not be up to par with another\'s. Remember how it was always Sod\'s Law that the kid with the hand-eye co-ordination of Helen Keller ended up on your team during basketball practice? Note: This discrepancy is natural and must be respected. Calling your teammate a &lsquo;spazz\' doesn\'t help one iota.</p>\n<p>Motivation is a prime factor in how well and how quickly something is learnt. \"You can lead a horse to water, but you can\'t make it drink.\" Not strictly true as experiments with the effect of Vindaloo curry on the horse\'s palate have proved in the past.</p>\n<p>Learners need a reason to learn. In a perfect world this would mean something other than the usual \"in order to pass the exam, go to university and get a good job\" sort of</p>\n<p>response. Unfortunately, this isn\'t Nirvana, this is Thailand, and as reasons for learning go the aforementioned is top of the charts and has been since time, or perhaps more importantly, Chula University, began.</p>\n<p>What usually happens is if students don\'t see the course content as relevant to their future (beyond the need to pass the four exams per year) then there is little motivation to learn it. A crazy, &lsquo;out of the box\' kinda idea would be for schools and universities to continually reexamine their curriculum in order to ensure that it is meaningful to someone other than the teachers. The most meaningful aspect for them being a course that\'s easy to teach and which lends itself, almost eerily, to no other form of exam other than multiple choice.</p>\n<p>Real learning, demands an understanding of why the things being learnt are as they are. In other words, the content must be put in context. Taking your teacher to be infallible and everything your teacher says as being true, being the only option possible, being impossible to contradict and going without question isn\'t an ideal way for students to think creatively and feel encouraged to free their minds. As far as possible, students should be helped to discover the ideas and principles themselves.</p>\n<p>Clearly, there is a problem of time here. Give monkey a word processor and an infinite amount of time and eventually he\'ll produce the complete works of Shakespeare. Fine and dandy, except for the fact monkeys have a finite lifespan and an even more finite ability to touch type. However, if you treat the exercise as a sort of &lsquo;teacher guided discovery\' which provides the rationale for what is being learnt, then within a few weeks the monkey will be banging out columns for a national newspaper.</p>\n<p>Having the confidence that you can learn is also vital. Continual failure can easily kill motivation and mean that students don\'t even attempt to learn new things in the future. If all a likeable, but slightly thick kid hears when he\'s growing up is \"No\", \"Wrong\", \"Don\'t do that\", \"Stop it\", \"Take your finger out of there\" etc then he\'ll grow up fearing failure and will never venture to stick his finger anywhere remotely interesting during adolescence.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there\'s a flipside; without failures, nothing is learnt. So I guess it\'s important to provide an environment in which learners, of all ages, experience continual small failures, but can find help and support to correct and learn from them, thereby achieving their long term goals successfully. Whether that goal is discovering cold fusion or sticking their index finger in a plug socket, in the case of the majority of less than inspirational students.</p>\n<p>Support + Understanding + Darwin\'s Theory = The master race.</p>\n</p>','','2002-01-22 23:10:11',1,'2002-01-22 23:10:11','2009-11-23 13:01:12'),(994,50,'Happy pills for buffaloes','happy-pills-for-buffaloes','A real mixed bag','Loads of wierd stuff happening in the news during the last week or so.

Got into the cinema, settled down to watch the movie, popcorn and XXL coke (Real men \'super size\') in hand. Two minutes before the movie starts, everyone stands and to the audience\'s surprise Herman\'s Hermit\'s \"I\'m into something good\" starts playing in Sony DTS surround sound with an accompanying photo montage of Mr T. hand in hand with a mystery business partner, who I\'m sure has a daytime job at a palatial establishment on Sri Ayuttaya Road.</p>\n<p>The next two hours were spent listening to fellow movie-goers humming the chorus to the Herman\'s best known hit repeatedly.

If ever there was an indication that today\'s kids were on drugs then this was it. No self-respecting child should have the temerity to question their elders and more importantly, people who are far wealthier than they\'ll ever be, in public.</p>\n<p>Reports say that Mr T. left shortly afterwards and was overheard ordering aids to find out where she lived and requesting that they \"give Chalerm a call\".

It\'s been a long time since I rambled about life at St Jude\'s Academy for the sons ( or perhaps sins - \"Give and thou shalt receive redemption or a plaque with your name on it in the new International section at the very least.\") of the wealthy.</p>\n<p>The inspectors are due to make their rounds to ensure that standards are being maintained. As I mentioned in a previous column the arrival of the Min. of Ed.\'s mafia is the cause of much flustering, floundering and headless chicken impressions amongst teachers. Here to help is a quick n\' easy lesson plan to use on the fateful day when the panicked cry of \"They\'re heeeeere!\" echoes around the playground.</p>\n<h3>Plan B</h3>\n<p>Be real, you wouldn\'t even be contemplating using this if Plan A had gone as intended. There again it\'s not too surprising considering you spent 3 months preparing Plan A, in accordance with instructions given by the Head of the department only to find that, with 30 minutes remaining before the Grim Reaper walks into your class. The original directives having been based on the ramblings of a mad 13th century monk and not the ISO manual (easily confused in times of stress).</p>\n<p>Aim:</p>\n<p>There\'s only one - to make inspectors believe that you are a conscientious and hard-working teacher.</p>\n<p>Resources:</p>\n<p>A class of children who are well versed in phrases such as \"Excuse me please sir. May I ask a question?\", \"This is a most interesting lesson and no mistake.\" and \"You\'re a wonderful teacher, you really are.\"</p>\n<p>Before the lesson:</p>\n<p>Ensure that all the children have experienced the exact same lesson on at least three previous occasions, and have at those times received significant monetary reward for good behaviour. The standard payment for model answers to difficult questions is a 500 Baht One-2-call phone card per answer, with the extra incentive of half an hour\'s filter-free internet access in the library for the most thoughtful comment.</p>\n<p>Preparation:</p>\n<p>Ensure that the walls are covered with the most interesting and inspiring work imaginable. More importantly, ensure that the children, if asked, will totally accept that the work belongs to them, despite the teachers having completed most of it during the lunch break and the paint on the 3-D representation of the double helix DNA structure still being wet.</p>\n<p>Introduction:</p>\n<p>Avoid starting the lesson in the usual \"Shut up and listen, you ignorant morons\" manner. Instead, use phrases like \"I\'m very excited about this lesson. I think we\'re going to learn something really super smashing.\" The children will be so startled by your apparent transformation into a character from an old 1950s movie that they will initially be struck dumb and appear totally attentive.</p>\n<p>Waving the arms around and looking thoughtfully to the ceiling will give the inspector the impression that you are interested in your subject. One may find it useful to imagine oneself delivering a Martin Luther King style speech during this moment, as it will increase the potency of the emotion. Begin the second paragraph of the introduction with the phrase \"I have a dream . . .\" or \" I have in my hand a piece of paper . .\" - goes without saying that you look a bit of a tosser if your actually holding a board rubber ,marker pen or anything but an actual piece of paper, whilst using this phrase. Remember that.</p>\n<p>During the introduction to the lesson, take the opportunity to comment on previous achievements by the children. These need not be actual achievements that have occurred, as most children will willingly accept praise for made up exploits.</p>\n<p>\"Before we move on to page 26 in the workbook, I\'d just like to thank you all once again for the sterling work at last week\'s \"Counterstrike for Chonnabot\" computer games fundraiser. 146 Baht was raised and now little Nongluk na Upcountry will have a Christmas after all.

You should tell the children that the purpose of this is to identify the underachievers so they can be sent to a secure school in Laos.</p>\n<p>If you should spot a potentially embarrassing child being approached by the inspector you will need to think quickly.

Add another blast from the festive past to the list - The Christmas school nativity play.</p>\n<p>Christmas school nativity plays are part of everyone\'s childhood. Everyone reading this will be able to reminisce about how they laughed when the smarmy school swot, who played Joseph for three years running, was brought down a peg or two during an unplanned onstage peasant\'s revolt. I\'ve never had the privilege, or more likely the ordeal, of attempting to organize any form of gathering. (To be honest a piss up in a brewery is about my level of organizational skills.) So I\'ll try to put myself in the shoes of a selfless, angora-sweatered drama teacher and look at ways to overcome some of the common problems encountered during the staging of such a spectacle.</p>\n<p>Inherent problem number one \' Too many kids, too few roles.\' Why someone didn\'t correct this the year following Jesus\' death or whilst the scribes were writing the bible I\'ll never know. I guess stage adaptations and the whims of 30 sets of parents all dying to see their offspring on the stage were never taken into consideration.</p>\n<p>What every drama teacher does is to rewrite the story by throwing a few additional characters into the mix. For example:</p>\n<p>A donkey - this gets rid of two of the more inept or unphotogenic kids in one fell swoop. The Innkeeper\'s wife and kids - Toss them a few lines to keep the parents happy \" Ooh, it\'s cold tonight, isn\'t it kids?\", \" Yes Mum\", \"Yes, Mum\" etc (Repeat once per child.)</p>\n<p>A star - for the wise men to follow. Hip playwrights will use a modern interpretation and the star will be David Beckham or Britney Spears, which will allow one lucky 9 year old to wear a football kit or to dress like a slapper on stage.</p>\n<p>The Baby Jesus - usually played effectively by a swaddled doll but good if you have any stunted kids in the class.</p>\n<p>An Angel (or two) - Especially handy if the school technician has always fantasized about being a special effects designer in Hollywood. Cue flash of smoke and angels descend from the Heavens \"See Mary, dreams really do come true.\" , \"All together now . . . . When you wish upon a star etc. . . \" Exit angels stage left to rapturous applause.</p>\n<p>A tree - one for the Mogadon kid in the class. An ability to be motionless is all that\'s required.</p>\n<p>Sheep - Useful for a class of infants who, no matter what role they were allocated, would just wander aimlessly on stage anyway. Better to have wandering sheep than wandering trees.</p>\n<p>Santa\'s little helpers - another one for the secular crowd. Kids get to dish out bags of sweets to members of the audience.</p>\n<p>Having assigned roles to all members of the class it\'s time to indulge in a bit of creative writing to liven up what is often a rather dull affair. Remember that parents with three kids - aged 6, 9, 12 will spend about 10 consecutive Christmases watching Primary school plays.</p>\n<p>Joseph: \"Just check your bookings again please. It should be under \'Of Aramathea, Mr and Mrs, Mary and Joseph\'. Yes, from Aramathea. Yes. It\'s my surname and it\'s also where I\'m from.\"</p>\n<p>Receptionist : \"Like I said we\'re full.\"</p>\n<p>Joseph: \"But we booked it on the Net months ago. We got an email confirmation.\"</p>\n<p>Receptionist: \"I\'m going to have to call security.\"</p>\n<p>Joseph: \"Hang on. What about the stable?\"</p>\n<p>Receptionist: \"I beg your pardon?\"</p>\n<p>Joseph: \"Is there anyone using the stable?\"</p>\n<p>Receptionist: \"Stable? We don\'t have a stable. We have three floor of underground parking. No-one travels by horse any more. What made you think we would have a stable?\"</p>\n<p>Joseph: (Mumbling) \"Just something I read in a story once.\"</p>\n<p>Rewriting the script is only half the story, a ripping good yarn is also required and, to be frank, the original needs a bit of spice. This is where the average Guardian reading drama teacher begins to stumble and the evil influences of the moral majority get in the way. This leads to an adaptation along the lines of \' A Strong Moral Message About Contemporary Urban Society.\' or \'The Trials and Tribulations of Unmarried Mothers.\'</p>\n<p>Updating events to present day Israel by including calling in airstrikes on Innkeepers suspected of harbouring Hamas activists, the \'guiding light\' turning out to be nothing more than tracer fire and building the \'Three suicide Kings\' into the equation aren\'t recommended - as they don\'t really make for an afternoon of all round family fun.</p>\n<p>Even, if after all the rewriting the storyline is shaky, a few good gimmicks can go a long way to salvaging the previous 6 months effort. You could, for example, relay all the angels\' messages to Mary on a Nokia WAP-enabled mobile phone. (this also means young Mary has less problems learning her lines.)</p>\n<p>Alternatively get the audience involved with a bit of mobile phone fun. If you want Mary &amp; Joseph to be allowed to stay at the Inn dial 1900 444 100. If you think they should have tried the Ramallah Ramada instead call 1900 444 101. Anyone who believes Joseph is just looking for a way to avoid paying for a room in order to save enough shekels for a night out with the lads at the \'Gomorrah a-go-go\' dial 1900 444 102.</p>\n<p>Finally, a song is always a good way to end the proceeding with a smile on the kids faces. Avoid any songs kids actually enjoy singing. No Limp Bizkit or songs with choruses along the lines of \"I\'m a firestarter, twisted firestarter.\" Or \"Do it to me all night long, baby. Ooooh yeah.\" Slade\'s perennial favourite \"Merry Christmas Everybody\" is also best avoided due to the asthma attack inducing effects of the rousing chorus.</p>\n<p>Instead, think traditional. Take a carol and give it a decent modern twist. As it\'s best to write from experience the twist can be of a personal nature. I might choose to throw in one or more of the following for example:</p>\n<p>\"We Three Kings Disoriented Are.\"</p>\n<p>\"On The First Day of Christmas My True Love Gave To Me (And Then Took It All Away).\"</p>\n<p>\"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing About Me.\"</p>\n<p>\"Santa Claus Is Coming To Get Me, The Bastard.\"</p>\n<p>Yo Ho-ho one and all.</p>','','2002-01-01 23:46:50',1,'2002-01-01 23:46:50','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(997,50,'JC\'s hypothetical adventures in Thailand','jesus-christs-hypothetical-adventures-in-thailand','A festive twist','As first seen last Easter (April 18).

So to kick things off, let\'s ruminate upon the question \' Who were the most famous teachers in history?\'</p>\n<p>A couple of names spring to mind, those of the Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ. Not wishing to wind up 95% of the population of this country, I\'ll concentrate this week\'s literary efforts on the son of God.</p>\n<p>As the Bible recollects, Jesus didn\'t just concentrate his efforts on a few party pieces - e.g. the \'water into wine\' show, which in addition to taking place in front of a live audience, was as good an illusion as anything David Copperfield can pull out of a hat 2000 years later. He was also a mentor, who strived to pass on his wisdom to those around him. He wanted to heal the world, and to make it a better place, for you and for me, and the entire human race.</p>\n<p>One of the many urban myths going around is the fact that Jesus never visited Thailand. The Dead Sea scrolls show otherwise, as I\'m sure any Torah scholars reading this will verify. Imagine you\'re the son of God, you\'re bound to get stressed and feel the urge to get away from the fans for a while. But what to tell the folks at home? You need a cover story.</p>\n<p>In the end a parable, or something similar, that involved wandering in the wilderness for 40 days is fed to the local media, in hindsight not the most convincing story but as Dad said \' You can fool some of the people some of the time, and they\'re the ones we\'re after\'.</p>\n<p>And so it came to pass that Jesus hopped on the next available mule train and headed for ancient Siam.</p>\n<p>A few weeks later Jesus na Nakon Sawan, as he was now known, guided his young disciples up the mountain. As the early morning mist cleared, Jesus seated his flock in a semi-circle on the mountaintop.</p>\n<p>Foregoing a warmer, Jesus began to preach n\' teach . . . \"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek and the merciful. Blessed are they that thirst for justice. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven. Now does anyone have any questions about the blessed?\"</p>\n<p>Then Kob and Wan asked \"Will we have a test on this?\" Lek added \"Do we have to write this down?\" He was quickly followed by Air and Jiew who wanted to let Jesus know \"We left our books at home \"</p>\n<p>Nut muttered \"I bet the other disciples didn\'t have to learn this\" under his breath and, sitting nearby, Sak enquired \'Are we supposed to remember all of this?\". Tee wanted to know \"What does this have to do with real life?\"</p>\n<p>By this stage our hero was beginning to wish that he\'d followed his old mate Judas\' advice and spent his vacation saving fallen women in a small seaside town on Siam\'s eastern seaboard.</p>\n<p>Finally, the little smartarse sitting at the front of the flock chipped in \" Why do you say blessED? Shouldn\'t the final phoneme be a /t/ sound?\" Remembering the adage of a sage, who\'s counsel he\'d once sought, Jesus retorted \"It\'s an exception to the rule.\"</p>\n<p>Ignoring a follow up query regarding his being a native speaker or not, Jesus was about to move on to saying a few words about coveting thy neighbours buffalo (history has shown us that this part of the lesson was still a work in progress) when a Pharisee, who\'d happened to be wandering the peak, sidled over.</p>\n<p>Historical note: Just as every Bollywood train comes complete with a dance troupe on the roof, so every mountain top in Biblical times had a wandering Pharisee lying in wait to question unsuspecting teacher-trainers.</p>\n<p>The worldly-wise Pharisee asked to see Jesus\' lesson plan and inquired of Jesus, \"Where for art thou aims and objectives? Do you forsee any problems with these edifications? If so, how do you plan to overcome them?\"</p>\n<p>And the best Jesus could do was to smile meekly and reply \"Don\'t know. I\'ll ask my Dad to help me.\"</p>\n<p>And lo, Jesus\' Thai disciples proceeded to go forth and spread his teachings throughout the Kingdom. Did they succeed? Buddhist scholars would argue no.</p>\n<p>I\'d disagree. Most Thai kids now get on in life by adhering to Jesus\' edict \"Your family will bail you out of trouble\", this is testimony to the fact that although they did indeed spread the word, the disciples forgot to bring their pens to the mountaintop and therefore couldn\'t recall the important stuff when it mattered most.</p>\n<p>Another ancient tradition ingrained in Thai culture.</p>\n<p>Here endeth today\'s lesson.</p>','','2001-12-25 23:49:48',1,'2001-12-25 23:49:48','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(998,50,'More than words','more-than-words','Full marks for initiative but unfortunately zero for range of vocabulary','A treatise on the problems of learners not being able to find a suitable word amongst the millions that make up the English language and also a little word quiz for any of you with time on their hands\n','<p>\n<p>Whilst I was correcting a few homework assignments last week I came across one from a Japanese learner where it appeared that he had saved himself the effort of using a dictionary and just created his own lexis when he couldn\'t recall the obvious English word to use.</p>\n<p>Full marks for initiative but unfortunately zero for range of vocabulary. Call me a stickler, but I tend to insist that, barring the odd noun, all words on the page should be found scattered somewhere amongst those listed in the Oxford English Dictionary. Which raises the question, how many words did this student have to choose from? Is the choice too limited and is there room for some additions?</p>\n<p>So, exactly how many words are there? There are many things in the Universe that can never be precisely measured but that doesn\'t stop mankind from trying. People with time on their hands have determined that there are around 7,300 human languages and dialects; about 100,000,000 stars in the Milky Way and 10 to the power of 72 atomic particles in the universe (that is precisely 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) and 24,000 words in the works of William Shakespeare.</p>\n<p>All of which leads us absolutely nowhere when it comes to figuring out the actual number of words in the English language other than to say 1,489 can effectively be ruled out. Writers of English have a barrel load of words to choose from. When you think of it, the English language writer always has at least three words for any idea, each harking back to Latin, Germanic/Saxon or Greek roots. And that\'s just the start. The English-speaking world also owes a heavy debt to Algonquin, Hebrew, Malay, Hmong and Welsh - without whom . . . well let\'s just say that Welsh is to the world of languages what the leek is to world cuisine. And then there is the entire realm of jargon a language known only to geeks in specific fields. Add to this the number of new slang words being created by L.A. rappers at this very moment and you know that coming up with an exact figure isn\'t easy.</p>\n<p>This all being said, I can now unequivocally state that as of 23.18 on Dec 14th 2001 there were approximately 615,506 words in the English Language. This number is arrived at by adding the number of words in the OED to the six new ones my student churned out last week. Choose well among them, my friends. As a comparison French has fewer than 100,000, including numerous \'Franglais\' items as le snacque-barre, le hit-parade, le traffic jam and le ham and egg McMuffin - all of which sound so much sexier when uttered with a French accent. So much so, that the movement to make French the official accent of the English language is rapidly gaining popularity.</p>\n<p>I\'m trusting that everyone reading this is up to speed on all the words currently in use in the English language (and if your not then why not? Call yourself an English teacher? ). So here\'s a little quiz for those of you still sober during this office Christmas party week.</p>\n<p>1) Give me two words which contain all five vowels in alphabetical order.</p>\n<p>2) Write a sentence containing seven spellings of the \"ee\" sound.</p>\n<p>3) I could have made the above more difficult by expecting you to remember the single word with a triple \'e\' in it. This six letter word is, of course, . . .</p>\n<p>4) \"Ough\" can be pronounced in eight different ways. Write a sentence that contains them all.</p>\n<p>5) Right now you\'re probably crying into you pint and thinking \"Hang on, what\'s the word to describe the shape of the bubbles in beer foam?\" So, what is it?</p>\n<p>6) Think of a word which includes the consonant cluster \'dsf\'. Clue : If you\'re in a bar with a girl and a Heineken then this is what you\'ve got.</p>\n<p>7) A topical Harry Potter moment: \'The five boxing wizards jump quickly.\' What do you notice about this sentence?</p>\n<p>8) If the last thing to happen is the \'ultimate\'. What\'s the second to last thing to happen called?</p>\n<p>9) I\'m sure many of you have said to your students \" OK you gormless bunch, let\'s have this classroom spick and span by lunchtime.\" So, you now the original meanings of the words \'gorm\', \'spick\' and \'span\', don\'t you?</p>\n</p>\n<p>10) Finally, just to emphasise my point about the Welsh language.

B) Who cares enough to spend time finding out?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>Email of the week:</p>\n<p>What\'s more surprising - the content of this email or the fact it wasn\'t from a close relative?</p>\n<p>\"Thanks for your service to both students and teachers of an emerging global language - you are a catalyst for making the world a better place.\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve got a feeling the 2002 Nobel has my name on it.</p>\n</p>','','2001-12-18 23:51:42',1,'2001-12-18 23:51:42','2009-11-23 13:01:43'),(999,50,'I\'ll have a P please Bob','ill-have-a-p-please-bob','Slowly but surely gameshows are creeping into education','Making learning more fun by combining games shows & education.

Although it hasn\'t yet come to Thailand I have a few ideas for any TV producers out there. But before we get to the shows, there are certain standards that must be met. The Thai TV code of all things good and wholesome ( exposed breasts = No, twitching cadavers as a result of a bullet in the brain = Yes, if TV executions go head ) which is endorsed by the third best Dad in parliament, came up with the following guidelines :</p>\n<p>\"There are a four precepts that the shows should abide by, no overt sponsorship, emphasis on brains over luck, equal opportunities for non-telegenic participants, lack of star power ( and / or talent) not considered a hindrance for a presenter.\"</p>\n<p>And as with all guidelines these too were promptly trashed and the following ideas for shows mooted.</p>\n<p>\"Who wants to be a millionaire?\" aka \"Millenium Millionaire \" A general knowledge show which plays on people\'s greed in a manner that avoids ever having to pay out the jackpot except when the ratings charts begin to turn convex.

Winning this gameshow could set any young Thai well on the way to financial security and a successful career. It\'s got glamour, flashing lights, large flashing objects, cards you can turn around and a few English idioms - everything that the successful gameshow needs.

( Actually it is and that\'s the idea behind this weeks ramblings) ','<p>More from the cultural sensitivity files . . . . .\n<p>If you grew up in a land where birthdays aren\'t exactly major gift receiving events, Christmas is just a time for sending compulsory cards to beloved teachers and New Year is a nationwide wet t-shirt contest; then you\'re entitled to get over excited by the notion of a day when presents of all shapes and sizes and banknotes ,of the purple &amp; grey varieties, are lavished upon you.</p>\n<p>There are two such occasions the average Thai youth to look forward to one a certainty the other a mere possibility. The wedding day ain\'t a certainty, love and luck play too big a part. This is especially true for the average studious female students who spend their days poring over books and evenings helping out with the housework. After leaving university, getting a job, working hard to save some money, it\'s time to look for a suitable husband. Only then do they realize that the majority of bachelors of a similar age have a \'marry me you marry my moped and mates from the karaoke bar\' attitude. And so the dream of a perfect \'Elle\' wedding day stays on the shelf.</p>\n<p>The other alternative is, however, a cast iron certainty - Graduation Day. You don\'t even have to make it to university to take part in the ritual. Every private school from Kindergarten level onwards treats it\'s leavers to the graduation experience on a variety of watered down levels.</p>\n<p>Of course these are all leading up to the \'big one\' - university Graduation Day. Take your average western graduation ceremony, multiply the significance to the participants, the time spent preening and rehearsing and the amount of make up ladled on by participants by a factor of ten and you have some idea of the social importance of such an event.</p>\n<p>Casual observers have many different ways to ascertain the importance of a social function. One oft cited method is the \'Khunying factor\'. Whereby the number of menopausal well connected female guests with beehive hairdos and bleached faces - the embalmed look is most desirable - indicates to the party goer just how damn honoured they are expected to feel to be within 100 metres of such a gathering.</p>\n<p>With respect to successful attendance and participation in a graduation ceremony is directly proportional to the length of time spent in the beautician\'s chair. Having allowed a top make-up artist or enthusiastic gay friend, depending on budget, to work their magic the goofy, plain Jane is transformed into radiant butterfly or at least that\'s the theory. In practice it often turns out that the make-up artist is really a frustrated plasterer with an insatiable L\'Oreal obsession. And so the butterfly is smothered under quantities of gunk that even Coco the clown would consider overkill. Prior to the economic slowdown things were different of course. Old hands still remember the anti talcum powder &amp; mascara hoarding messages put out by the first Chuan government and the great blusher shortage of \'91 which resulted in 70% of Chula\'s new alumni being photographed in right profile only.</p>\n<p>The end result of the makeover is akin to a pale faced, pink blushered, blue eye shadowed, red lipped death mask with a fixed Joker-esque grin. The effect having been achieved and a final coat of varnish having been applied, it\'s time for the photo call to commence. The aim of this exercise is to have as much footage of the proceedings in both video and still format as humanly possible. As a benchmark, the number of times Princess Di was captured on film during her lifetime is used.</p>\n<p>If you hark back to the dullest moment in your entire childhood, it was probably when you were carted round to cousin Linda\'s new semi in order to watch relatives politely nod appreciatively though the wedding pics and listen to your Mum commenting \"Ohh, she does look a picture!\" and chirp the odd \"You must be proud, Joan\" as album after snow white album of almost identical photos is brought out for the enjoyment of the assembled masses. The only person AWOL from proceedings is the new groom who\'s later spotted drowning the dregs of the cooking sherry in the kitchen, as your Dad attempts to console him with \" Just wait till you have kids.\"</p>\n<p>Quadruple that feeling of boredom and factor-in the way Hitler must have felt having been cornered in his bunker in April 1945 you\'ll have an idea of the emotions that lie in store when graduation day photos are brought out.</p>\n<p>As a guide, Inappropriate behaviour whilst viewing graduation pictures includes such comments as \" Whose the Katoey?\" and \" Jesus H.!\" when looking at a group photo which brings a Tammy Faye Baker fanclub meeting to mind. \"How much?!!!\" when told that the money spent on the trip to the beautician\'s would feed an Isaan village for a month.

I can assure you he is real and not just another excuse I\'d dreamed up to take the piss out of Americans. Get real, do you really think I could invent stuff as good as some of the contents from this week\'s correspondence from the email. (There was no plan to do a sequel but Dwight\'s one of those &lsquo;special\' people.)</p>\n<p>Teaching did get a passing mention in the first email of the week :</p>\n<p>\" I want to ask you more questions, if I teach English to Thai young women over age 20 and several are very cute and like me is it improper to go out with them in Thailand?\"</p>\n<p>And again even more fleeting appearance in the second :</p>\n<p>\"How could I locate students to teach English in their apt. or mine and if some are 16-17 year old women and they all like me is any relationship with 17 year old women illegal there?\"</p>\n<p>What exactly happened to cause him to reevaluate the ages of student he\'d enjoy getting to know on a one to one basis at his Petchburi Road love nest is anyone\'s guess.</p>\n<p>And, finally, having already sent me one photo he attached the same one again :</p>\n<p>\"About myself briefly, I like Asian women and I\'m NOT gay on the photo.\"</p>\n<p>Another photo of him was indeed attached - although the file was named &lsquo;Dana Scully.jpg\'</p>\n<p>I told my girlfriend about him. Her comment was \"Oh Dear\" which was uttered in a tone that implied \" Look on it as your duty to keep that idiot from breeding and thereby hastening the end of civilization as we know it.\"</p>\n<p>And now for something completely different . . . .</p>\n<p>Over the previous few months I\'ve been accused of many things but being a caring, sharing type of guy isn\'t one of them. My &lsquo;Princess Diana\' moment - she hugged a kid with AIDS, I stuck some information on my website ( same, same but different ) - occurred in late September and resulted in that warm fuzzy feeling that only doing a good deed can bring.</p>\n<p>It was then that I was contacted by a volunteer from &lsquo;Goodwill Bangkok\', an organization that trains both current and ex-hookers in English and Computer Skills. After further reading I discovered that this wasn\'t just a ploy to give them the ability to write comprehensible begging emails to their love struck &lsquo;hansum\' men now languishing back in western reality back after the type of two week trip that would give Mr Purachai a fit.</p>\n<p>Goodwill Bangkok also offers specific employment training as well, e.g. for restaurant staff, nannies, maids etc. Looking in from the outside these aren\'t great jobs, but put yourself in their shoes for a moment. After all, do you really think the majority of girls particularly relish being sandwiched between a sweaty overweight farang and hotel mattress, no matter how well sprung it is, on a nightly basis? However, as many are without a Bachelors degree let alone a Por Vor Sor or Por Vor Chor then getting a decent job is often out of the question. Although, I\'m sure reading the &lsquo;Skills and Abilities\' section of the application form brightens up a few recruiters\' days.</p>\n<p>Many students left school after Mattayom 3 and headed to Bangkok where they were led to believe the streets were awash with jobs-a-plenty and easy money. Their lack of paper qualifications is addressed by a scholarship fund for those who didn\'t graduate from high school but who show an exceptional dedication to learning and bettering themselves. Recently a private college in Bangkok drastically reduced its rates in order to allow 10 Goodwill students to take a 2 year Diploma in Human Resources Management.</p>\n<p>The majority of the classes - which all taught by volunteers - are held at the organisation\'s office in Bangkok city center. However, shortly, the teaching will be taken out of the classroom and into the community. There are many girls who are unable to come into the city center to attend classes. Therefore classes will be taught in temples in Bangkok\'s inner city ghettos. Here, local volunteers will be trained to lead and organize the training for future classes and with a little luck and a few corporate helping hands Goodwill\'s reach will extend into all areas of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Since putting the information on Ajarn.com an average of 2 or 3 teachers per day, from Thailand and abroad, have contacted the center to offer their assistance and time.</p>\n<p>Goodwill Bangkok is a charitable organization that exists thanks to the efforts of volunteer teachers and sponsors. Right now they require 6 computer monitors and a corporate sponsor or two.

Even emails from non-believers or \"the evil doers\", to quote a George Bush-ism, can brighten up a dull day with their witty repartee and bitchy quips.</p>\n<p>However, what really pisses webmasters the world over off is the inane.

If not then you\'ve missed such delights as the great vegetable complaint. One of my &lsquo;faux pas\' was to classify a string bean incorrectly as a vegetable - it\'s a fruit. I really don\'t care, all I know is that if I found one in my trifle I\'d complain loudly. However I received more emails on this topic than when I pissed of the massed ranks of the Bangkok Yanks in the &lsquo;newbie American teacher on the skytrain\' saga. ( It was all fiction - so the emails sympathizing with the poor guy\'s plight were really a waste of time. )</p>\n<p>All of this pales into insignificance with the guys - and it is always guys - who although friendly enough, consider themselves as being an asset to the teaching profession in Thailand solely because they have the fortune, depending on your point of view, to have been born to Caucasian parents.</p>\n<p>I\'m in the middle of an ongoing email correspondence with a guy who falls into this category at present. Let\'s call him &lsquo;Dwight\' , both for arguments sake and because that\'s his name. He hails from a city which has been the focus of world attention recently due to its sudden lack of skyscrapers. ( I hope you\'ve spotted that this is a not so subtle attempt at hinting to Dwight that his time as a resident of my email inbox is coming to an end.). Dwight is one of those people that would drive Mother Theresa to drink.</p>\n<p>The first email I received from him started off promisingly - \" Your web site is very interesting\" - Not exactly prose but hey, it\'s another adoring fan, wanting to shower me with promises of free beer if we should ever meet - I thought to myself, until I read what followed. \"I suffer long term depression\" added Dwight. This upbeat info was followed by the usual request for advice in looking for a job \" . . as jobs here in NYC is still very bad and the housing even worse because of the 8 million people here.\" There\'s 10 million in Bangkok and they all speak some kind of crazy foreign lingo - It\'s very difficult to tell the cowboys from the Indians here, Dwight.</p>\n<p>The parting shot was \"Can you help me with a few schools easy to get into Thailand ?\" And, because I\'m a latter day saint I did recommend &lsquo;a few schools easy to get into Thailand\'.</p>\n<p>Two days later, the inevitable reply and the focus had shifted slightly. Now that we\'d bonded - in the kind of personal, manly, long distance correspondence-only type of way that a single email provides, Dwight felt it necessary to confide in me : \"Is it easy to get nice women in Thailand or difficult? \" ( This was after he showed a semblance of interest in teaching by asking how he could contact the schools that I\'d given him the contact details of . I ruled out carrier pigeon on the grounds of the distance involved and advised that any common 20th century form of communication device could be utilised to achieve the desired result. )</p>\n<p>\"Dwight - you\'ll be a walking babe magnet\" I advised. The subsequent email brought a JPEG attachement - his photo. \" Dwight - you\'ll be a walking babe magnet, providing you have deep pockets.\", I noted - extremely optimistically I might add. As I\'m not used to receiving unsolicited portrait photos, my new best mate added helpfully that \" . . .I wanted to send you my photo by e-mail so as a picture is worth more than a thousand words and please note I like Asian women NOT men.\"</p>\n<p>As I\'m not a totally heartless unromantic bastard I did enquire subtly if he was married and merely seeking a bit of tottie on his Asian adventure or a lonely heart searching for that special someone. The next day I had my answer \"There is a nice young woman I like in Cebu, Philippines who to have very deep relations with me but not intercourse to lead to marriage.\"</p>\n<p>That\'s cool, he\'s already traveled a bit and met a nice young lady. Maybe he\'s not a total f$%kwit after all \"I do like her very much but have to meet her in person.\" Or maybe I was asking too much.</p>\n<p>Why jump to the conclusion that he\'s a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic?</p>\n<p>\" . . . how come some schools have no air conditioning as Thailand has technology?\",</p>\n<p>\" If I ask, will they pay in dollars I cant get a baht account here and I need the money to pay my rent?\" and three of his emails ended with \" . . more later as my time ran out.\" ( that\'s being generous - one of them actually ended with \" more later as my time ra\")</p>\n<p>At the time of writing the US Government had issued a travel advisory - &lsquo;Dwight will be heading to Thailand in early 2002.\' Be warned.</p>','','2001-11-07 00:09:46',1,'2001-11-07 00:09:46','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(1005,50,'Contractual obligations','contractual-obligations','Always read the small print','A not particularly accurate overview of the contracts offered to teachers in Thailand.  Taken with a pinch of salt it might give you some ideas of what to expect.','<p>The following was written a while ago and isn\'t particularly accurate. There is a disregard for contracts here but if you\'re employed legally - ie with a work Permit then the language of the contract Thai /English is irrelevant. In fact, according to a couple of Contract Law lawyers, a paper contract isn\'t required - the company\'s act of deducting tax from your salary confirms that you have a legally binding contract with your employer. You should be able to get some recompense if then fire you without any notice etc.\n<p>I ( insert name) take thee ( insert school\'s name) to be my lawful, indebted employer from this day forward. To have and to manipulate from this day forward until death ,or contractual differences, us do part.</p>\n<p>And so with the formal contract signing completed another unsuspecting teacher joins the ranks of the legal workers - in so much as contract written in English can be described as legal.</p>\n<p>To the average Thai worker passing the 3 month probation period often equates this milestone to now having a job for life and therefore not finding it necessary to make much of an effort to impress the boss. Ditto teachers - the graph representing na&iuml;ve enthusiasm vs. time employed bears an uncanny resemblance to a ski jump.</p>\n<p>One reason is disillusionment with the contract. A 3 page contract written in the Academic Director\'s own brand of legalese English is designed to lay out all the responsibilities of both parties in the most confusing manner possible and yet in such a way that if any items are questioned by the signee then they can be simply explained in a single sentence that gives the signee the impression that they must have been a real idiot for asking that question and therefore it\'s best to take the rest for granted.</p>\n<p>There are ways to avoid misunderstandings - one method is to ask the new recruit \"Is everything OK?\" - precisely the question that we\'re all taught not to ask students in the classroom because they\'ll automatically say \" Yes\" and not \" Nope, sorry this is total bollocks.\" Unfortunately asking this question always produces the \" Yes\" response with teachers for exactly the same reasons as it does with students - they don\'t want to make problems for their superiors or appear to be total idiots.</p>\n<p>Somewhere down the road almost everyone will have a contract waved in their face and subsection 2, paragraph 4, line 3 \" Thou shalt not refuse unreasonable demands.\" pointed out to them by a language school commandant. This catch-all is included in pretty much all contracts written in legalese - a language which even Thai ajarns have given up using as they deem it \"too vague for any practical use\"</p>\n<p>Therefore the aforementioned Thai ajarns ( now referred to as \" Thai ajarns\" ) and the teacher ( hereafter nominally notated as \" The overpaid member of staff \" ) reverted to signing ( by proxy if required in the presence of no fewer than 5 witnesses of good standing) contracts ( which, from this moment on shall be known as \" extremely lengthy documents written in Victorian legal jargon, which no-one has ever successfully read and understood fully but look damn impressive on paper ) be used in colleges and universities.</p>\n<p>Which brings us back to the value of a contract. Remember when you were young and you had an imaginary friend, two if you were popular, you knew that they\'d always be there for you no matter what. In good times you wouldn\'t have to rely on their help too often but it was always nice to know that should the unexpected happen you\'ve got a shoulder to lean on. Then, when you\'re 8, reality bites and you get nicked peeing on the Headmaster\'s cabbage patch you find that your make believe buddy can\'t be relied upon to get you out of trouble.</p>\n<p>Well, the same goes for contracts - give you a sense of security that\'s all - nothing you\'d want to put to the test.</p>\n<p>There are always the old standards to look out for in contracts - &lsquo;return airfare\' which ends up being the cost of a one way ticket to your home country ( so you can return there) and not actually a round trip ticket after all. Schools which put this in their contracts seem under the impression that after a year in their employ teachers will be so sick of Thailand they just want out and don\'t plan on returning.</p>\n<p>The good old 10 month contract also rears it\'s ugly head from time to time. This is used by some of the dodgier colleges and language schools which place teachers in private schools. Again the employer appears to have a rather short sighted view. \" Why should we pay them if they\'re not teaching?\" A good point until employers recollect the hassle they had in the past and difficulties less than a year a go when trying to find someone suitable for the position - not to mention the expense - the tens of thousands of baht advertising in the Bangkok Post. Oddly enough, most farang teachers just love a 2 month unpaid holiday and will happily return to schools that provide them with this great travel opportunity - or so employers gather misguidedly.</p>\n<p>One language school even has clauses in it\'s contract stating that employees aren\'t allowed to even utter S&amp;%ckman\'s name within their hallowed halls- upon penalty of death or a fine equivalent to several years salary.</p>\n<p>Another just decided to unilaterally declare all contracts null and void and gave it\'s teachers the choice between new, improved ( ahem!) ones to sign or walking out of the door.</p>\n<p>The only reasonable conclusion I can come to is that quite a few of the wannabe movers and shakers seem to be taking a leaf out of the same &lsquo; Work you way to the top - The Stalinesque approach\' guide for would be top management material.</p>\n</p>','','2001-10-31 00:11:09',1,'2001-10-31 00:11:09','2009-11-23 14:02:10'),(1006,50,'Negative expectations','negative-expectations','And their role in language learning ','My turn as an agony aunt for the masses.

She said we must provide our lower level students with the same inspiring curriculum as we give to our more able and more willing students. When we do this, these low students will rise to our level of expectations. I was so motivated by this speaker that I wanted to start proactive drama and playwriting classes for all my M.1 students.</p>\n<p>The second speaker said that students learn best when they\'re succeeding. He said students should succeed 90 percent of the time. Thus, their self-esteem will rise and they will have a good attitude toward learning. I was so enthused by this that I decided to revise my M.1 curriculum down to P.3 level so most of the class can succeed.</p>\n<p>Now, I\'m not sure what to do. If I follow the first speaker\'s advice I\'m sure a high percentage will fail their exams but conversely they should enjoy the class. If I follow the second speakers advice I\'m sure the majority will pass but is that the point of being a teacher?</p>\n<p>Dear Bewildered,</p>\n<p>You have to decide what\'s important in your role as an educator. Is passing exams the be all and end all or should a student\'s all round abilities be taken into account when dishing out the grades?</p>\n<p>I get nothing but praise, and the odd &lsquo;Thank you\' gift, from the parents of my students. You mention a 90% success rate will enhance students\' self-confidence. Just think what a 100% pass rate will do to boost their self esteem. I feel that every student in every class I teach should receive Grade 4.</p>\n<p>Recollecting my first days at St Judas\', I too was young and idealistic. I wanted to take on the world, to fight the system and make every class as good as those laid on for the benefit of government inspectors and visiting dignitaries.</p>\n<p>However in the hours and days that followed my initial foray into frontline teaching I realised that I had to make a decision. Do I stay and wage a one-man war against multiple choice mania or do I sell my soul and my principles in return for the easy life?</p>\n<p>After 4 days of mental turmoil I did what any career minded teacher would do and forgot all the nonsense I was taught at university. Now I occasionally look back and wonder if I made the right decision but, as I glance at my new Tag Heuer - an early birthday present from a grateful parent - I know I made the right choice.</p>\n<p>In my experience exams aren\'t designed to measure understanding but to merely indicate the level of anal retentiveness in the growing mind. The majority of students have better things to fill their minds with. Why not test them on the cheat codes for Counterstrike, for example?</p>\n<p>I allow my students to demonstrate their lack of understanding in more creative ways. To my mind any child that can produce a decent Christmas card or has the presence of mind to download all his homework assignments from the Internet is showing skills that formal exams cannot measure.</p>\n<p>I empower my charges to take control of their own destiny. Providing they turn up for class at roughly the right time with some form of writing implement and scraps of paper on which to write or, more likely use to practice their &lsquo;Go\' strategies on then they have fulfilled their side of the bargain.</p>\n<p>Of course, the teacher must keep their side of the deal. Therefore, students are allowed to use classroom time to freely explore their creative boundaries without feeling it necessary to be constrained by the English language. We have to emulate real life and, in reality, these kids won\'t be utilizing very much English when they enter the workforce, aside from the occasional key phrase such as \"Big Mac 2 minutes\" or \"Next station Saladaeng\".</p>\n<p>A great philosopher once said \"Positive expectations yield negative results\" keep that in mind and I\'m sure all your worries will disappear.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2001-10-24 00:26:40',1,'2001-10-24 00:26:40','2009-11-23 14:02:41'),(1007,50,'Caught by the privates','caught-by-the-privates','The perils of freelance teaching','From the thrill of the chase and actually getting your first private student to the cancellations there\'s never a dull moment when your trapped in a living room with an 8 year old and her  Chinese granny. \n','<p>You live in a quiet area of town, keep yourself to yourself, never mention the fact that you\'re a teacher but everyone knows it - there\'s no other plausible explanation as to why a farang would be living in a sub-8,000 baht apartment. Looking around you notice a few Benzes and signs of wealth. \"Why not teach a few private students?\", you think.\n<p>A friend, of an acquaintance of the receptionist at your apartment has friend who\'s been trying for months to find a private teacher for her 8-year old daughter. Word reaches you and after brief negotiations you\'re under the impression that you\'ll be starting classes the following week. This is the first, and often fatal, hurdle that the would-be private teacher faces.</p>\n<p>A phone call the day before your first class is the initial warning sign, the class is postponed due to a family visit up-country. Slowly the weeks pass, you begin to dread that now familiar phone call \"Oh Mr Ian, Nong has to practice her piano\", \"Oh Mr Ian, it\'s yet another long weekend due to yet another public holiday\", then at last, \"Oh Mr Ian, can you teach the class tomorrow?\" and there it is, a bolt from the blue, you\'re left speechless. The Thai version of &lsquo;Endurance\' is over and you\'ve been declared the winner.</p>\n<p>This may be an extreme case but it\'s never easy arranging to teach your own private students. Indeed, it can be a bit of a hit and miss affair. You have to decide how much to charge them, where to teach them and whether you can get away with attending classes wearing only your shorts and T-shirt.</p>\n<p>Your first class. You arrive on time and are led into the living room and plonked down in front of a foot high coffee table, this seating arrangement may be comfortable for the under 10\'s but should carry a government health warning for the over 25\'s. A nervous, doe eyed 8-year old is summoned by Mum and proceeds to perch opposite you on a blue plastic stool.</p>\n<p>Overcoming a student\'s initial shyness is no problem for the well-prepared teacher. A few tried and tested quips in pigeon Thai, a smile, some goofy faces and a fun word game to kick things off - everything\'s hunky dory. Half an hour into the lesson the ambience is shattered by coarse spluttering and hacking noises emanating from somewhere over your left shoulder. Glancing round, you notice a Chinese granny. She\'d been silently scrutinizing your every move but now appears to having a minor seizure.</p>\n<p>The only thing you can do is get accustomed to it, young Nong already is. Granny will be hovering over number one granddaughter for the rest of her life, monitoring her every move. It\'s a one woman Truman Show. Granny was sitting in the corner for Nong\'s birth, for her first steps, hell, Granny even observed her conception first hand. In fact Chinese granny\'s last gasp will probably coincide with Nong\'s first - on her wedding night.</p>\n<p>If you do happen to teach kids privately, be choosy. A lot depends on the kid being cooperative and going along with the bizarre notion that they must spend a hour or so humouring a stranger, speaking a strange language, twice a week.</p>\n<p>Teaching a bright, outgoing child can be a real pleasure. You can hold basic conversations and communicate with each other. The sense of actually enjoying your teaching is enhanced if the family doesn\'t spoil Little-miss can\'t-be-wrong rotten.</p>\n<p>(At this point I have to say \"Hello\" to &lsquo;Friend\', whom I teach every week. I told her I\'d put her name in the paper, if she got Grade &lsquo;A\' in her Prathom 2 English test, which she duly did.)</p>\n<p>Friend\'s a rare exception. I taught one girl who would only agree to pick up a book or play a game if her Mum bribed her with sweets. It reached the stage where Mum had to sit the chubby little madam on her on her lap and pop a sweet in her mouth every time I wanted to illicit any kind of verbal or physical response. In instances such as this, a one-hour class is more a case of suffering by &lsquo;Chinese daughter torture\' than doing any actual teaching.</p>\n<p>So I\'m lucky, I\'ve been teaching the same bunch of private students for well over two years. They seem to be happy with my work and that I can rely on them. There are never any problems with late payment or their being late for class. I think the toss up between teaching privately or for a school comes down to whether or not you want to be in control of what you do. Working at a language school you\'ll have no hassle regarding cancellations, late payments or worries about finding a course book. It\'ll all be taken care of for you.</p>\n<p>But there again, you guys can\'t go to lesson clad only in shorts and T-shirt, can you?</p>\n</p>','','2001-10-17 01:17:39',1,'2001-10-17 01:17:39','2009-11-23 15:03:40'),(1008,50,'The web\'s hidden treasures','the-webs-hidden-treasures','TEFL resources on the net','There are some great TEFL sites & homepages out there  -however some people still insist on try too hard.  This week a look at the TEFL research resources on the web. \n','<p>What does your average TEFL teacher do with their time off? Let\'s face it Bangkok\'s nightlife has limited possibilities, as far a wholesome activities that the moral minority approve of go, and there comes a time when, having \"been there, seen it ,done it, bought the t-shirt and been mistaken for a tourist\" several hundred times, boredom sets in. It\'s time to seek solace in the web. I\'m not talking about sites that test the typing ability of your left hand and are the cause of such questions as \"Why do you keep a box of tissues next to the computer?\"\n<p>Well, if you\'re anything like me you\'ll probably split it between the two favourite pastimes of all teachers. First and foremost, checking out new acronyms with which to demonstrate you\'re an up to the minute kind of guy - not stuck in the TEFL knowledge equivalent of a mid-70s velour flared fashion outrage.A few dropped acronyms will impress the hell out of your boss.Try shouting \" John, what\'s the PET equivalent of a BULATS 450 ?\" across a crowded office. Bonus points will be scored if you preempt any dismissive reply with \" No worries, I\'ll manually adjust the IELTS and hypothesize the weighted score. Thanks anyway.\" Newbie teachers will be putty in your hands after that one. Try it.</p>\n<p>Secondly, trawling the web for new research articles is more than just another way to induce sleep. Out there is an infinite realm of knowledge just waiting to be discovered by someone other than the page\'s author and his close friends and family.</p>\n<p>For example Yvonne Stapp was probably popping something other than Hall\'s lozenges when she authored one of my all time favourite pieces of TEFL research \"Chicken Meets on Rise\": Meaning in Decline Lexical Havoc in L2\" a couple of years ago. Anyone with a clue as to what that\'s all about please enlighten the rest of us.</p>\n<p>Other all time favourites include &lsquo;The Cuisenaire rods and silence\' by Tim Hanh - I guess this refers to the students\' reaction when told that they\'d be spending the rest of the semester piddling around with Cuisinaire rods. For anyone not privy to what we educated types refer to as &lsquo;the knowledge\', Cuisinaire rods are strips of paper of differing colours and lengths. These attributes indicate the grammatical part of English that the piece of paper is supposed to represent. The idea is that students can form sentences with little or no meaning but which will be grammatically correct.</p>\n<p>( From past experience many of my students have successfully completed the first half of this task without the help of any pieces of paper bearing a French moniker. 50% success guaranteed without any additional work begs the question &lsquo;Were Cuisinaire rods created solely for the purpose of getting out of doing some real work?\' )</p>\n<p>An example of sentence structure produced using this method can be seen in the title of Yvonne Stapp\'s aforementioned research article.</p>\n<p>The University of Aizu, Japan, is not only the ninth best known university in the whole of Aizu Prefecture -it is also home to Stephen G. Lambacher who managed to wheedle some cash out of his faculty to pay for a study into &lsquo;Cross-language study of nasal sounds\'. Would I be alone in thinking that, when asked their opinions on the subject, most students from diverse cultures, produced the same nasal sound &lsquo;Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\".</p>\n<p>Bishop\'s University in Quebec had to try to decide what to devote a year\'s research budget to. They came up with the idea of \"Dedicating our research to the concept of putting a Quebec ESL Humour Site up on the Internet\". Having first hand experience of the wacky Canadian sense of humour I can only surmise that the researchers decided to aim low and shoot low. Why not? 100% success is virtually guaranteed. However it wasn\'t all plain sailing as excerpts from the research paper show - \"Some of the many different questions we asked ourselves about this topic touched on whether there is an actual need for such a site.\" Isn\'t it amazing how reality takes a back seat when the prospect of pissing your time away for a couple of semester\'s rears it\'s head. Is there a need? Sure it\'s what the world\'s been missing. One of the things that I often hear remarked upon is the lack of Quebec based Canadian humour that\'s readily available on the net.</p>\n<p>Before you start, I know Bill Hicks was Canadian, unfortunately he\'s both dead and not involved in the Bishop\'s University\'s project. Even Bill, in the years prior to his demise, would have difficulty in answering the question that obviously tormented the researchers whilst they were receiving their monthly grant cheques - \"How can we, as teachers, tickle students funny bone and also meet the sometimes dry objectives set out for us by the Quebec Education Minister?\" And with that weighty question preying on your minds - I\'ll leave you for this week.

All about the cultural differences Thai ajarns face upon going to and then returning from  a western country to study\n','<p>Until now the LIBeL columns have been written solely by myself. However, recently Aj. Wochit Morchit an aspiring collaborator contacted me seeking my assistance in helping to promote the University of Upminster ( Eccles campus ) Overseas Student\'s Handbook. A weighty tome for future Thai ajarns wishing to study abroad that he has selflessly dedicated the last 12 years of his life to perfecting.\n<p>Here are some extracts from the Handbook with special tips for our ladies of distinction ( a.k.a. ajarns of &lsquo;haute couture\' ) on cultural nuances firstly whilst studying in the UK and then upon your reluctant return to Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Your participation on the course</h3>\n<p>i) Ajarns of &lsquo;haute-couture\' are reminded that it is the argument (not the person) that carries weight in a UK university discussion and that your previous rank will have little bearing on the assessment for participation. (Losing face in a debate may actually prepare you for some critical learning.)</p>\n<p>ii) Overseas students are advised that not only are they expected to have read the articles on the course reading list but also that they should have formed some sort of opinion on the contents prior to attending seminars. Memorising stretches of text and toneless recitations are to be no substitute for dialectical reasoning. (Try exposing yourself to risk by honestly comparing ideas with your peers at coffee-time.)</p>\n<p>iii) Against all sense of protocol, essay grades will not be improved by flouting jewellery or clickety shoes. Neither the number of syllables in your surname nor your kinship to a general will influence grading policy. (Try hard work as a substitute.)</p>\n<p>iv) Sitting bolt upright and flashing vitriolic glances at challenging interlocutors will not generally induce submission at Upminster. If you practice this frequently, participants might think you hypertense-perhaps even paranoid. (Try formulating convincing counter-arguments instead.)</p>\n<p>v) On no account should you ask a junior tutor to write your dissertation for you. In the UK this thought of as bad manners and may incite others to talk about you behind your back. (Try writing it yourself.)</p>\n<p>vi) Although western culture has a long tradition of debating, try as you might, you will never find any such thing as a &lsquo;speaking contest\'. Preferring articulation of ideas to decorative public appearances, the institute will expect to hear some sound reasoning. (If you want to win prestige try mustering convincing arguments.)</p>\n<p>vii) Moreover, it should be remembered &lsquo;critical thinking\' is more than a trendy catchword overheard amongst the well-dressed at Bangkok TESOL conferences. It refers to the social skill of overtly defending an intellectual position where consensus is reached through the force of argument alone. Collusion, backstabbing, and the martialing of unseen supporters will not deter your tutor from expecting open interpretations. (Neither will Tipp-Ex deletions of controversial items from the handouts be accepted as a lasting conquest-try forthrightness and erudition instead.)</p>\n<p>viii) Acceptance for a place for a higher degree does not, in itself, constitute an offer of the final certificate. Failure to fulfill university expectations about independent interpretative skills may result in eventual expulsion-as one Ajarn from Chulalongkorn University realised when she came back from the University of London without her PhD. (Try uncovering meaning and carefully planned essays as a substitute for posturing and hyperbole.)</p>\n<h3>Returning to Thailand</h3>\n<p>i) Successful graduates are asked to note that attaining a higher degree is not an accomplishment that absolves one from future interaction with others. Though you may have reached the sumptuous heights of erudition, your recently increased status is still something that awaits confirmation in practical affairs. Colleagues back home would still like to see you talk to other people (after all, a teaching/language qualification is something to do with communicating with others) and would encourage some terrestrial application of your knowledge rather than a haughty inaccessibility. (Try sharing what you learned on your course in an egalitarian spirit.)</p>\n<p>ii) Your next rung on the promotional ladder may one day be apportioned according to item i). N. B. Promotion to Associate Professor requires that you both associate and profess-and it is not simply a matter of waiting for a director to retire before you can disappear into that coveted position of authority-these things require a personable nature and the ability to accommodate with others. (Try equanimity-a sprinkle of humility would not go amiss.)</p>\n<p>iii) During your stay you will note that, generally speaking, British academics are friendly, informal and helpful, encouraging power-sharing, eschewing trickery and snobbishness in their relations with foreigners. Some reciprocal display of these qualities might be gratefully appreciated by their counterparts-your contractually &lsquo;inferior\' colleagues-on your eventual return to Thailand.</p>\n<p>iv) Finally, older Ajarns of haute-couture are asked to observe that UK organisations have a tricky habit of retiring those they consider &lsquo;over the hill\' when it comes to adaptation. It might be worth remembering this when your home institute gets pernickety about ISO standards or comes up for privatisation.</p>\n<p>Wochit Morchit is lecturer in Applied Jacket at a well known north Bangkok knowledge emporium.

','<p>Proclaiming loudly from the rooftops that \" I\'m a TEFL teacher.\" is likely to draw a variety of responses from those within earshot. From parents \" That\'s nice dear, now when are you going to get a proper job?\" From significant others \" Shhhh!. I told my friends you were in finance.\". From colleagues \" Run! People will think we\'re with him.\"\n<p>The question of the worth or value of a TEFL teacher is a delicate issue that appears to have only one answer - Bugger all. The assumption for this reply is based on the fact that on the whole the whole field of TEFL is held in pretty low esteem all around the world. English is, without doubt, the world\'s lingua franca. It\'s the language of Bill Gates, so until a Slovakian programmer comes up with something bigger &amp; better than anything Microsoft can produce it will continue to be so. Therefore you\'d expect English teachers to be valued accordingly. In Thailand your standing in the social hierarchy is somewhere between the Yakult delivery woman and the \"lucky\" one-armed lottery ticket vendor you pass on the way home.</p>\n<p>A teacher\'s should increase - as with any commodity - with their availability. A farang teacher stationed anywhere known simply to Bangkokians as &lsquo;upcountry\' will have an infinitely higher novelty and curiosity value than one plying their trade in Bangkok. The novelty value can be converted into being elevated to the level of status symbol. Anyone with enough money or political clout to obtain lessons from the only farang within a 50km radius must be someone worth knowing. And the farang, with access to these rice and somtam barons must be someone worth getting matey with.</p>\n<p>If you live in the Isaan equivalent of Slough and happen to teach the kids of the guy who runs the local Thai Rak Thai / Beer Chang / pirate UBC monopoly then you\'re pretty much sorted when it comes to getting a few favours.</p>\n<p>However, this is an exception. Often TEFL teachers are looked down on by &lsquo;real\' teachers. International schools are a prime example of this. They are happy to pay huge salaries, provide free luxury condos and return airfares for fresh faced graduates with a 1 year PGCE course behind them. A locally hired TEFL teacher with a Bachelor\'s in English, Master\'s in Linguistics, TEFL Diploma and years of experience teaching locally will be on a lower salary and far fewer perks than one of the Western recruited golden boys n\' girls.</p>\n<p>Whilst not being open about it TEFL teachers are often labeled as the &lsquo;necessary evil\' among staff. They come and go willy-nilly, are part-timers and aren\'t faithful to the classical educational teacherly roles that &lsquo;real\' teachers have come to know and love. Part of this is justified - you won\'t find many good TEFL teachers hanging around a school working for half the salary of a fresh faced graduate if there\'s a chance of a better job elsewhere. Is that the teacher\'s fault? If you are the Headmaster, then the answer is a simple \"Yes\".</p>\n<p>Been pretty negative up to now, but being English I prefer to call it \'realistic\'. Far be it from me to point out that the average English teacher in Thailand is just a tourist who didn\'t want to ( or couldn\'t afford to) leave. Just because I don\'t jump around in an uncontrollable fit at the very mention of my better-than-average nation doesn\'t mean that I can\'t be Mr Positive if I put my mind to it.</p>\n<p>There are, I\'m sure, an infinite number of good points vis-&agrave;-vis what a career in TEFLing can offer the dedicated tutor - unfortunately I can only think of three at present :</p>\n<p>English is a popular subject and students are ( or at least should be if they don\'t want to &lsquo;Rice Mill operative\' or &lsquo;Exotic Dancer\' to appear anywhere on their resume ) motivated to learn it. <br />Indeed, in many places TEFL teachers have far better opportunities to travel, develop their professional expertise and earn better salaries (even if this involves having to take on second and third jobs and work 7 days a week.). <br />When it comes to personality the average TEFL teacher kicks your average Homeroom teacher\'s ass. When questioned 9/10 respondents reported that your selfless dedicated TEFL\'er is streetwise, flexible and easy-going, has a flair for networking in general and establishing interpersonal (but not too personal) relationships with learners and is open to innovative ideas. <br />One of Bangkok\'s finest accurately summed up what it means to be a TEFL\'er in 2001 with the poignant phrase \"Like, a kind of &lsquo;citizen of the world\' sort of stereotype thing.

How, where and what was involved in the obtaining of the piece of paper is often ignored.</p>\n<p>The reason for this is that the school or college concerned has to satisfy themselves that the applicant has the requisite number of pieces of paper in order to begin the long slog towards laying your hands on the teacher\'s Holy Grail, hereafter referred to as a &lsquo;Work Permit\'.</p>\n<p>This scenario, repeated on a worldwide basis, leads to a variety of TEFL courses being available to teachers who want to enter a classroom for the first time armed with something more than a smile, a photocopied textbook from the early eighties and witticisms about local culture to see him through.</p>\n<p>Pop quiz: \" What have Brighton, UK &amp; San Francisco, USA got in common?\" Anyone leaping up and down, gesticulating wildy and screaming \" Ooh, ooh, I know . . .they\'re the gay capitals of the repective nations\" is correct, and obviously out of the closet, but unfortunately is letting their mind wander from the fact that this is an educational column for all the family.</p>\n<p>The correct answer is that they\'re thought of as the TEFL / ESL *capitals of the respective nations.

No matter what there feelings or opinions of such a course they have to take it providing they, or rather their family have the money. Why?

The baht can be used to buy shares and over time virtually all shares will rise and you\'ll come out tops in the end. These are the tangible results. What isn\'t as easy to determine in advance is the value and merit of a Master\'s degree.

Nobody would argue that becoming more educated is not a good thing. The well-educated possess an asset that will never expire or fluctuate in value.

His point was that there are other ways to learn and that sitting in the classroom 8 months a year until your mid twenties doesn\'t necessarily equate to becoming an educated adult. This in turn doesn\'t equate to becoming immediately desirable to employers. Could this be something for today\'s Bachelor degree students to remember when they apply for one of the 190 paths that they believe will lead to drooling HR managers offering hitherto undreamed of salaries?</p>\n<p>In reality education\'s all a game - as is everything else in the Kingdom,- not a particularly fun one, but one where, providing you follow a simple strategy, you will always win. Once you\'re in the uni of your choice you simply take courses designated as either &lsquo;Pass/Fail\' and avoid challenging yourself by undertaking a course which your group deem too tricky to guarantee a &lsquo;Pass\'. Doing well at university is more a matter of patience than intelligence. Most students would agree that when you make the effort, getting above average good grades is a relatively easy task.

He and a group of friends found themselves at a Calgary apartment after an evening spent at a local bar. It was there that a joking challenge was issued. \"Who wants to ride the in-house water slide?\" The slide was actually a garbage chute. Sheldon volunteered, tumbled into the opening, and his subsequent headlong slide beat the standard elevator service down to the first floor. An unforgiving trash compactor awaited his arrival, and friends administered CPR there until emergency crews arrived at the scene. But they were too late. The 12-storey fall had already dispatched Sheldon to his Darwinian demise.</p>\n<p>Topics of conversation</p>\n<p>1. The story compares a garbage chute to a water slide.

The guilty parties, or at least those perceived as being guilty, will be left up the creek without a canoe, let alone a paddle.</p>\n<p>When one of my sources for this column taught at St Judas\'s Academy for the Overfed, herself and a fellow teacher, had the misfortune to write an exam that was deemed too difficult for their students. You can probably guess that nothing was said before the exam was given to the students - although it had to be checked by the Head of the English department before being given the OK. It was only after the results were in and half the kids failed it, that it was decided, by unknown powers, that the exam was too difficult.</p>\n<p>Bear in mind the answers to every question were, or at least should have been ( if the fallen angels had bothered to make notes in class ), in the students exercise books. Students were also told which particular areas would be in the exam well in advance.</p>\n<p>Parents complained to those in charge - using the traditional Thai method of attaching business cards to their letters just to emphasise, and leave no room for doubt about, exactly how much more important than the recipient the senders were.</p>\n<p>Of course, the teachers\' direct superior took control of the situation and confronted the parents about their offspring\'s total lack of preparation for the exam and record of less than stellar behaviour in class. Without apportioning blame, the parent was calmly reminded that it was their duty, as good parents, to not only buy their child all that their heart desires but, to also make sure that that all homework given should be completed on time.

Think of it as educational Viagra for learning. Imagine you\'ve just had three consecutive private sessions and are feeling emotionally and physically drained. You\'re not a machine, you can\'t just turn it on for the big group session you\'ve got planned at the end of the day.

Try to attain the nirvana of one line descriptive &lsquo;Aim\' sentences by using words like &lsquo;lexis\' and &lsquo;facilitate\' and &lsquo;syntax\'. Your goal is something along the lines of:</p>\n<p>\"Aim : To facilitate constructive syntax using appropriate L2 lexis.\"</p>\n<p>This has absolutely no meaning but it\'s often enough to impress all but the most knowledgeable assessors - try it for yourself.</p>\n<p>Start the lesson by using a tried and tested &lsquo;Warmer\' - this is the accepted TEFL terminology for an activity designed to lull the students into believing that they will be spending the next 90 minutes in a &lsquo;sanuk\' work free environment. Class discussions on the relative merits of Man U &amp; Liverpool, MBK &amp; Central, Siemens &amp; Nokia, or any of the other major talking points that crop up without prompting in the average classroom, always make good warmers. Note that at least 25% of this activity should be conducted in English. Allowing the warmer to drag on until the mid lesson break will be frowned upon.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Presentation\' follows - this is where the teacher gets the chance to confuse the students by waffling on about a random grammar point which will later be proved to be an exception rather than the rule. Any detailed explanations should be accompanied by semi-illegible scrawling on the white board which can easily be wiped off before the students have time to question its validity.</p>\n<p>Having spent 10 minutes writing something that they will never read again in their pristine Hello Kitty notebooks, it\'s time for some &lsquo;Practice\'. Practice generally comes in two forms: &lsquo;guided\' and &lsquo;free\'. Guided = the teacher tells them what to say. Free = the students talk about whatever they like and the teacher is happy because at least they\'re speaking an approximation to English.</p>\n<p>Now that they\'ve mastered whatever it is they were supposed to be learning it\'s &lsquo;Production\' time. The attentive students now have 20 minutes to whisper amongst themselves and stare blankly at each other before one plucks up the courage to ask just what they are supposed to be doing. The teacher now has 5 minutes to recap the entire lesson before the assembled students release a collective, knowing, \" Ohhhhhh\" which is followed by more incomprehensible muttering and finally by the most intelligent learner spending the next 10 minutes translating the entire lesson into Thai which then draws another \"Ohhhhhh\" of understanding. If there\'s any time left after this labourious ritual then it\'s the teacher\'s job to get the students on their feet to &lsquo;mingle\' or &lsquo;mill\' - technical parlance for wandering aimlessly around chatting.</p>\n<p>End the class by allotting a few minutes for any questions the students might have e.g. \" Will this be in the exam?\" which could be more accurately expressed as \" Is there any point in me committing any of this to memory or can I delete the last 2 hours from my short-term memory?\". This in turn equates to \" I\'m pretty sure my brain\'s full so if you make me remember this then I\'ll have to erase my entire childhood memories.\"</p>\n<p>Finally, a word of warning, just as your on the way out of the door, there will always be a question along the lines of \"Do we have to bring our dictionaries next lesson?\".

In the future she\'d work hard, get a Master\'s degree only to find that the only job she could get would be as a secretary for a guy who got his job because he is the bosses nephew.</p>\n<p>Anyway, over to you ABAC.</p>\n<p>Another piece of semi-recent news was the startling revelation that some English textbooks include errors! This may not be particularly earth shattering to the majority of readers. But to those of you without a multitude of better things to do, I can imagine that the notion that a stringbean being incorrectly classified as fruit, in the &lsquo;Easy English\' textbook, is pretty darn horrific.</p>\n<p>Numerous other errors were reported to include &lsquo;enjoy\' being labeled as an adjective, &lsquo;sleeping\' being mentioned as a national sport and &lsquo;cockroaches\' being categorized as both a household pest and a food. A spokesman for the publishers, Thai Wattana Panich, reassured schools that all defective books could be replaced with newer versions from the extensive stocks in its gleaming, undestructable new warehouse.</p>\n<p>Pretty piffling stuff, what\'s probably worth spending more time thinking about is why, seeing as the textbooks were first printed in 1996, did it take 5 years for someone to notice that anything was wrong. Thank heavens for eagle eyed English teachers you\'re probably thinking, however it was someone from the publishing company who noticed the errors and somehow managed to get their boss to fess up.</p>\n<p>In a totally unrelated news story the Thai Wattana Panich warehouse burned down a few days later. No headlines along the lines of &lsquo;cooking the books\' were seen - which was almost as disappointing as reading that the entire stock of &lsquo;Easy English\' books was now polluting the skies over downtown Bangkok. A fitting end.</p>\n<p>The sad thing is that the vast majority of Thai written textbooks contain more errors and erroneous entries than a bar tab after a payday binge in a Patpong &lsquo;entertainment\' venue. (The bill apparently being based on the notion all farangs are the same so it doesn\'t really matter who pays for a drink so long as someone does.)</p>\n<p>The Ministry of Education has neatly sidestepped the issue by using the well-worn method of displaced blame. You\'ll remember this from your youth \" It wasn\'t my fault, he did it.\" This may well have worked well when, as a three year old, you were trying to explain where the puddle on the floor came from. But as a government minister dismissing your responsibilities regarding the education of the youth of your country it doesn\'t work quite as effectively or convincingly.</p>\n<p>At this point I know a few people are going to point out the number of grammatical errors that creep into this column on a regular basis. In keeping with the &lsquo;When in Rome . .\' proverb, I can only say that there is no-one to blame other than the Education Editor - the buck stops with him.</p>\n<p>So, I\'m hardly in a position to criticize the linguistic failings of others - but I will anyway. Why? Because I can.</p>\n<p>Last week I was in a foreign - owned bank, waiting for my class to start and there were two leaflets on the table, in English and Thai, promoting their banking services. They both contained pretty basic errors, errors which my Pre-intermediate students could find without any difficulty. If you\'re in this Yank bank, keep an eye out for blue wall clocks on every floor - the faces of which proudly proclaim, \" We can\'t spell s_uccess without U\" I mentioned to my students that it might be better cutting their losses and, instead of scrapping the clocks, altering the slogan to \" We can\'t spell s_uccess.\"</p>\n<p>You have to sympathise with companies such as this, the only alternative is to hire someone to proofread anything churned out in English. \" There was someone with a Master\'s degree, but they resigned last year.\" one of the students added helpfully when I enquired if anyone did actually check anything before thousands of baht was spent on public displays of English inability.</p>\n</p>','','2001-07-31 17:36:33',1,'2001-07-31 17:36:33','2009-11-24 07:07:34'),(1019,50,'Glory days','glory-days','Inspired by The Boss','Written a couple of months ago when listening to my Bruce Springsteen MP3 - 12 albums ( but no \'Born to Run\' - on a CD for 100 Baht ) All about reinventing the past, how BKK transforms people - it\'s pretty deep stuff ','<p>I\'d like to start off with a couple of quotes which I heard recently. The first is from one of God\'s representatives here on earth, a Buddhist monk, \"You are at an airport, you have just arrived at your destination. You are carrying two bags, one is your past and one is your future. Now put them both down and walk away.\" The second is from God himself, in the guise of Bono, \"The only baggage you can bring, is all that you can\'t leave behind.\"\n<p>Contradictory? Maybe. But they sum up the attitude of many people who leave their mundane existence behind, pack up their troubles in their backpack and hit the road in search of a new beginning in an exotic destination. (To many, Bangkok may be just another big city but, believe me, for anyone brought up in Hicksville or Hull it\'s the epithet of glamour.)</p>\n<p>The great thing about leaving your home and relocating thousands of miles away in a different continent is, well, the fact that you can start a new life - and quite literally reinvent the previous 20 years. You can choose to have your emotional baggage from a previous existence accompany you to your destination intact, be abandoned in a left luggage locker and the key thrown away or even be embellished beyond all recognition. This may be one reason why the teachers\' rooms of schools and colleges throughout the Kingdom echo to the sound of folks blowing their own horn.</p>\n<p>You find that you work with people for years without knowing their real story. Why did they come here? The majority will have been backpackers who stayed, but why did they stay? Most have a degree so why not get a well paid job back home? That would allow you to travel to exotic locations whenever the mood and, annual leave allowed. Forget about all the Khao San Road bollocks - \"You haven\'t experienced India unless you\'ve done it on a dollar a day.\" Given the choice I\'m sure the majority of people would much rather fly into a country by business class, be whisked away to a luxury hotel and then be able to afford a meal that contains meat in a recognizable form.</p>\n<p>The form that your past reincarnates itself in varies considerably. One must consider one\'s new persona carefully. Are you now a dashing adventurer - the kind who previously always considered himself well traveled because he\'d been to Leeds. May be you\'re the academic searching for a niche - the niche being a job that considers someone with a HND in Woodwork to be an academic. Or possibly, that old favourite, the womanizer - who\'s record with the ladies prior to arriving here could hardly be described as Valentino-esque. More bizarre still is the dedicated teacher - the kind who has always considered themselves a born educator, at least they always have since being laid off from the steel works a couple of months previously.</p>\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum are those steadfastly remain brutally honest about their past and for this I must give them credit. These are the guys and gals who bring a chuckle to the usually terse mouths of the Academic Directors by including every detail of their life story on their resume.</p>\n<p>There comes a time when brutal honesty must give way to selective memory, not lies, and that time is when you\'re writing your resume. To illustrate the point here are a few quotes plucked at random from resumes that were lining the rubbish bin in my office.</p>\n<p>\"1993-1999 Self Employed Marketing high quality replacement windows.

An English word was displayed on the screen - \" Read it.\" , \"What it say?\", \"Now you say it\" \" Again, please\" \" Very good\" repeat ad nauseum for 10 minutes or so with different vocabulary.</p>\n<p>It was clear that I would have to venture past channels 12-16 in my search for a muse. And, 20 seconds later there it was, in the &lsquo;Teenzone\' on UBC Kids channel. The hip, happening but unfortunately, for reasons that will be come obvious in a moment, non-English speaking presenter was taking the audience on a guide through some of the best sites on the web. Nothing remarkable in that I guess.</p>\n<p>As a bit of background, for those reading this on the Internet or who aren\'t UBC subscribers, bear in mind that this is the same pay TV provider that devotes a considerable amount of time showing cheaply made anti-drugs commercials between programs. These less interesting alternatives to a blank screen aim to steer the youth of Thailand away from the perils of drug use by using such hard hitting slogans as \"Say no to drugs.\", \" Winners don\'t do drugs.\", \" Only users lose drugs.\", \" Drugs aren\'t polite.\" etc. I wish them luck, as I\'m sure do the parents of the couple of million &lsquo;ya-baa\' users who for some reason are still popping pills despite UBC\'s best efforts.</p>\n<p>Therefore it was rather amusing to see the featured Internet site of the week was one that featured photos of lots of farangs with goofy expressions on their faces, and sure enough a few of the photos did cause me to crack a smile. However I got an inkling that something was up when I noticed that a few of the photos featured guys holding, what seemed to be rather large &lsquo;herbal\' cigarettes. Surely not, I thought to myself. The truth was revealed when a screen shot showing the site\'s URL was displayed - www.amistonedornot.com. However, either in an attempt at subversion by a crusading video graphics clerk or, more realistically, due to a typo, the actual URL which was flashed up on the screen for eager young viewers to visit was spelt incorrectly.</p>\n<p>As an afterthought I took a look at their website, www.ubctv.com, if you look at the bottom of the home page you\'ll notice a new game will be coming to the site in July, an \"Organ farm quiz\" apparently. Here\'s an idea, instead of spending the best part of a million baht on sending people into the air in rickety MIG -25\'s over Russia, why not spend a fraction of that ensuring that your presenters understand what they\'re talking about and your website\'s English is indeed English and not the stuff second rate newspaper columns feed off.</p>\n<p>Realising that this topic would only sustain me for 517 words or so, it was time to keep flicking through the channels in search of 283 words worth of comment on the war crimes against the English language being perpetrated on other channels.

They could only brag about being good at their job if their job was to provide viewers with a portrayal of a mannequin with a lack of musical knowledge masquerading as a VJ. If the idea of having western educated &lsquo;luk kreung\' presenters is designed to highlight what a waste of money sending your kids to study abroad is then they\'re also excelling on that count as well.</p>\n<p>To quote VJ Victor, who\'s father must own the company because while I\'m sure he\'s a &lsquo;cool dude, man\', his role in any future TV shows should be in an off camera role - to put it diplomatically :</p>\n<p>\" So, like wow, Madonna is a pop star.

They are promised free accommodation, short working hours, small classes. In fact, anything to get them to sign their life away for 12 months. Whilst all the guys they bring over may be keen, apparently none of the present rank and file teaching staff have a degree of any kind. I should clarify that last remark - &lsquo;real degrees\', because if the paperwork for their work permits is to be believed, they are all graduates from the same university - UCT.

The first being \"Is there any free beer?\", and a second, far more probable response, would be \" F&amp;$# off ! \"</p>\n<p>Needless to say it was hard for her to comprehend. I then had to explain about the cultural differences between the first week\'s proceedings in a Thai and UK university. The aim of both is similar, to make new friends, but the methods employed in achieving this goal differ rather a lot.</p>\n<p>In the UK, you are encouraged to forget those you have left behind and mingle freely with people from places as far flung and diverse as Hull and Harrow. The preferred method of doing this is to ensure that live music and free flowing budget beer and spirits are on hand pretty much 24/7. Anyone who entered a UK university from 1985 to the present day will have seen the Bootleg Beatles during their Freshers\' week and will tell you that testing your tolerance to &lsquo;buy 1, get 7 free\' shots of Smirnoff is an entirely different, and I\'d guess far more enjoyable, proposition to testing your tolerance to shrimp paste.</p>\n<p>Of course it\'s not all one big party. You must register for your course and complete various pieces of paperwork. This is made as easy as possible, seeing as it\'s an activity that is often completed with a severe hangover. All it requires of the student is a tolerance for queuing. Therefore well-prepared freshers will take glucose, rations and a sleeping bag when completing this tiresome process. It\'s a bit it like queuing at Disneyland only without the adrenaline. Just nod and sign when asked. Your reward at the end of the day will be a student ID card - your passport to a world of 50p discounts on everything from cinema tickets to round the world airfares.</p>\n<p>Another way to kill time until the pubs open again is to join a few societies. These range from the well-meaning and semi-serious - Greenpeace, Young Conservatives, The Vegans etc. to such offerings as the Salvador Dali Pub Experience and Guinness Appreciation for Amateurs.</p>\n<p>Another aim of Freshers\' week is to do your best to establish yourself in the social pecking order. Unlike Thailand, where you simply look at the cars people arrive in and treat them accordingly, the British system is far more cerebral. It revolves around the traditional art of acquainting others with witty yarns. Failure to be one of the lads and crack a joke will result in ostracism on a grand scale and years later, long after you have graduated with honours and become manager of a multinational, you will still be &lsquo;Billy no mates\' to those who remember your undergraduate days.</p>\n<p>Even joining in can have it\'s pitfalls if you don\'t have a ripsnorter of a pun ready prepared, as one guy from Wigan found to his peril during my first week at Manchester Uni. He decided to tell a joke : \"What\'s the difference between a duck?\", he proudly uttered in a thick Wiganese accent. Cue blank stares amongst the assembled members of corridor 5E in Grosvenor Hall of Residence. And the punchline (?) \"One of its legs is both the same.\" The silence that followed was to last for 3 years.</p>\n<p>Oddly enough this extremely pathetic attempt at a pun made an appearance on a respected EFL mailing list a few months ago.</p>\n<p>\" Pat McGahon asked for reactions to a homework assignment in which the learner was asked the following question: What is the difference between a duck?</p>\n<p>Perhaps it\'s some kind of riddle, similar to those in Rinvolucri\'s Grammar Games, which is meant to generate a lot of language in the process of solving the puzzle. But I\'m not too sure. \"</p>\n<p>This just illustrates another of the benefits of the internet, crap jokes are no longer confined to a specific area of a country - in this case the Borough of Wigan, they can now be used by the socially inept worldwide.</p>\n</p>','','2001-06-19 18:29:29',1,'2001-06-19 18:29:29','2009-11-24 08:08:30'),(1026,50,'EQ = IQ for idiots?','eq-iq-for-idiots','What does the system all mean?','The average Thai student isn\'t going to make much of an impression on the IQ scale.  I know uni students who boast about their 104 IQ because it\'s better than average.  I hate to tell them most dolphin\'s IQs are higher.  Not hard to see why E.Q. is so popular here.\n','<p>One of the favourite pastimes amongst the community of Thai Chinese middle class mothers in Bangkok appears to be one upmanship. This takes several forms. For some it\'s the degree of facial whiteness one can achieve - the goal being a colour best described as &lsquo;embalmed white\'. For others\' it\'s the amount of jewellery that can be worn at any one time, the aim of this exercise is to carry enough gold to pay off a significant chunk of the national debt.\n<p>Another way to gain respect in the community is to have a bright child. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done as the process can\'t entirely be controlled by the authoritarian Mother. Mother Nature also has a say in the matter and, more often than not, she can be a bit of a bitch.</p>\n<p>Instead of evenly distributing the intelligence genes between all the kids in the family, often they are all bestowed upon one lucky child. The others are left wander through life with all the sparkling wit and mental sharpness of a box of tissues. Therefore for every sibling who excels there are two or three others who find that all subjects, from Art to I.T., just pass them by in a blur.</p>\n<p>Judging by the amount they learn, it\'s as though the teachers speak at a frequency that\'s imperceptible to their ears, and every textbook must have been written in ancient Hebrew. What\'s the use of teaching a kid how to program a computer when he can figure out how to tie his shoe laces?</p>\n<p>All this leads to fairly humiliating scenes at the regular Sunday tribal gatherings in Chinatown restaurants. How do you compete when one kid\'s showing off her tennis trophy, Level 4 piano certificate and debating the Central Bank\'s fiscal policy, whilst your budding prodigy is sitting in the corner trying to switch on his Gameboy without parental assistance - and failing miserably?</p>\n<p>The despairing parents will often try all forms of extra curricular activities in a last ditch effort to find something, other than walking into large stationary objects, that Junior excels at. Junior is therefore subjected to the rigours of additional classes, in every pastime and sporting activity imaginable, in one last ditch attempt to find some way in which your progeny can hold his head up high in the company of other kids his age.</p>\n<p>As his bulk tends to negate his chances of ever achieving sporting success worthy of a few back page column inches, Mother wisely steers her child towards more stationary activities. In fact, she\'d dearly love him to be able to pass an I.Q. test with flying colours but that\'s about as likely as getting him into a private school without having to pay any &lsquo;tea money\'.</p>\n<p>Fairly recently there was a new development in this battle of Khunying wannabes. The E.Q. test. For those not up to speed with the latest educational bullshit, then your Emotional Quotient is a measure of whether you\'re ever likely to go &lsquo;Columbine\' or not. A low E.Q. and your parents should keep you away from video games, sharp objects and things that go bang in the classroom.</p>\n<p>Now, I.Q. I know. It\'s a measure of intelligence, and, rather unfortunately, for a lot of Thai learners doesn\'t take the form of a multiple choice test. This, along with the snob appeal of having a high E.Q. may be the first step in explaining the popularity of the E.Q. test here.</p>\n<p>Admittedly, I didn\'t know much about E.Q. In an effort to find out more about it I took the online multiple choice test at http://www.homearts.com/cgi-bin/eq.cgi and passed with flying colours - 48/48, apparently: \" I excel in managing emotions, handling relationships effectively, and empathizing with others.\"</p>\n<p>Which only goes to how easy it is to get a good score, once it clicks that all you have to do is choose the option that you\'d never take in real life. Another website supplies us with another insight into the popularity of E.Q. tests in Thailand :</p>\n<p>\" . . . don\'t get wrapped up in the labels of &lsquo;right\' and &lsquo;wrong\' The purpose of this test is to learn more about yourself.\"</p>\n<p>Let me get this straight, there\'s no right answers and no wrong answers, there\'s no grades given and so no passes and no failures - everyone\'s equal there\'s no loss of face at any point. Methinks I have found yet another of the pieces to the jigsaw which explains the popularity of E.Q. testing here.</p>\n<p>As I said earlier, if you go off the information and sample tests on the Internet, it appears relatively easy to achieve a high E.Q. without any real effort - other than choosing the most blatantly obvious answer.</p>\n<p>Maybe you could build an I.Q. test into the E.Q. assessment procedure. Time people to see how long it took them to figure this out for themselves. As a benchmark, most lab-trained gerbils can do it in about 2.4 seconds. Basically, E.Q. strikes me as a simple way to make simple people feel adequate and not simply born losers.</p>\n</p>','','2001-06-12 18:40:37',1,'2001-06-12 18:40:37','2009-11-24 08:08:38'),(1027,50,'The evolution of e-learning in Thailand','the-evolution-of-e-learning-in-thailand','At last a column with some substance','I\'ll sometimes throw in the odd \'substance heavy\' column if I can\'t think of anything mildly humourous to say.  ','<p>If there\'s one thing that\'s guaranteed to rile a Thai politician, it\'s his fellow countryfolk being taken advantage of by merciless farangs.\n<p>Recently, there has been another example of the out and out, blatant exploitation of this nation\'s hard working citizens. I\'m sure many of you shared my feelings of exasperation and, let\'s be honest about it, downright disgust at recent newspaper reports in which a Thai Rak Thai minister helpfully pointed out his misgivings on the validity of on-line learning programs offered by numerous scholastic establishments outside Thailand.</p>\n<p>He kindly noted that, primarily due to difficulties in enforcing uniform standards, then diligent, hard working Thai students looking for an easy way to get an MBA may be short changed. If I understood properly, these &lsquo;Mickey Mouse\', mainly American, British and Australian, universities aren\'t offering courses which are up to the standard of the mainstays of the Thai government system, for example institutions such as Ramkhamheng and Rajabhat (more of which later).</p>\n<p>At the end of the day it doesn\'t really matter what the government says in its efforts to discredit several well know farang seats of learning because Tata Young has come out in support of internet / distance learning courses. Apparently, if you\'re like her, i.e. simply too busy to subject yourself to the inconvenience of missing a sale at the Emporium for a class, then e-learning is the way to go. Of course, it also helps if you have a million baht in the bank to finance your endeavours.</p>\n<p>\" It might sound expensive, but when you consider the cost of first class flights to the USA, the hassle of having to do the work yourself and the loss of star power stemming from a protracted absence (a case of &lsquo;Ta-ta Tata\'?), then it\'s definitely worthwhile.\", quipped, the perpetually smiling Tata. (allegedly)</p>\n<p>What many people fail to realize is that Thailand is already a world leader in the field of distance and virtual learning. Every year colleges, unwittingly, enroll thousands of distance learning students. For many the classroom is a virtual experience, a place to which they never venture into in reality and which only exists in their minds thanks to descriptions given by fellow classmates.</p>\n<p>For generations many students have seen the benefit of not actually bothering to get out of bed and turn up for class, preferring instead to study, in absentia, from home - by way of photocopying their friends notes every week and adding their names to reports done by fellow classmates. Anyone who teaches evening classes at a government college will know the feeling of having some students they only see three times a semester. The three sightings are usually:- the last ten minutes of the first class of the year, a fleeting appearance at the mid-term exam and, what is for them, a marathon 2 hour session which by chance coincides with the final exam.</p>\n<p>As a side note, education isn\'t the only form of &lsquo;distance\' activity practiced here - remember the stories of stand in prisoners? If you either can\'t be bothered or have much better things to do than spend a year banged up, then you can always hire someone to do it for you. This is a form of distance punishment. The convicted does his time about 200km away from the jail, in the comfort of their own home.</p>\n<p>If flushing a million baht down the toilet of online learning is too big a hit for your bank balance to take and a cheaper way of avoiding work in order to obtain a decent qualification is required, then it\'s time to head over to the mecca of Thai online &lsquo;e-learning\' www.rajabhat.com. Rajabhat Institute is offering, obviously, top notch high-quality shopping n\' study at their new website. This bastion of Thai academia, is currently enrolling students onto three online courses. Lucky punters have a choice of three, rather badly named, courses - &lsquo;Information Technology for Learning\', &lsquo;Computer Application for Business\' and &lsquo;Artificial Intelligence\'.</p>\n<p>Predicting the future is never easy but it\'s probably safe to say that within a couple of years the number of offering, and the number of students undertaking, &lsquo;e-learning\' will increase exponentially. One day an eerie silence will pervade the corridors of the local Rajabaht and you, dear English teacher, will have been replaced by a database of correct answers to a multitude of online choice tests.</p>\n<p>In Internet cafes across the land, entrepreneurs will be cashing in on this fad by signing up participants for courses with the promise that all the work will be undertaken by recent, hard up Chula graduates.</p>\n<p>Expect to see the number of MBA students rapidly increase to the point where an MBA is devalued to the level of a cycling proficiency award. At this point e-Doctorates will begin to take off.</p>\n<p>And the best thing about all this?

It is designed for those with only a little study time on their hands and whose ratio of grey bank notes to grey matter leans heavily towards the former. Although the degree should be completed over a period of 6 years, we recognize the fact that time is money and, as such, encourage students to purchase additional credits. These can be used to trim down the time taken to achieve the educational and financial benchmarks required to complete this degree.</p>\n<p>The course has been designed by academic staff from both colleges over a 12-month period and will be taught in a new purpose built mini-campus in the heart of Bangkok.

How to find a solution, that doesn\'t involve doing nothing and hoping the problem will disappear, when there\'s no one around to ask.</p>\n<p>FS103: Budget planning. How to go shopping and come back with the correct items, and only the correct items.</p>\n<p>FS104: Commodities Trading. Common Sense. What it is, where to find it, why it\'s in such short supply and how to apply it, should you ever possess it, in everyday situations.</p>\n<p>FS105: Decision making. The speed in which you can say \"Up to you\" could well determine how far you rise up the corporate ladder.</p>\n<p>FS106: Negotiation.

It was as though your creative and intellectual juices reached their peak before the age of 10 and this early promise fizzled out with barely a whimper.</p>\n<p>Even the sight of a couple of GSCE certificates adorning the mantelpiece couldn\'t console your Grandmother who\'d been predicting great things for her favourite grandchild since that \'golden week\' in May 1980, when you captured the class 4 spelling crown and scored two goals for the school football team in a derby match.</p>\n<p>She watched as the neighbour\'s offspring, who was still sucking the ink out of biros at the age of ten, hit his creative peak at the right time and garnered a full set of GCSEs, A Levels and an honours degree from, what used to be, the local community college. With every visit you could see her vision of you, as the shining hope for the next generation of the family, slowly dimming.</p>\n<p>When Granny went to the bingo hall in the sky it was time to look back and reflect on the halcyon days. You\'d regale Granny with tales of your exploits at school and she\'d lavish you with gifts of ginger beer and McVities chocolate digestives. It was now your mission to make Granny proud. It was time to honour her memory.</p>\n<p>Several years attempting to transform yourself into an intellectual failed miserably and your destiny appeared to be based on the twin certainties of marrying the buxom Debbie from the local chippy and resigning yourself to the life of a Makro shelf stacker.</p>\n<p>Then opportunity knocked in the form of an ex-classmate, Julian. Confident and tanned he made a surprise appearance one wet Wednesday in the local Spanish-themed hostelry. You and everyone else in the 5th form had assumed Julian was gay - an assumption which was based entirely on his name. Yet here he was, dressed head to toe in fake Polo gear, downing San Miguels with a bevy of bleached curly-permed beauties surrounding him. He was rattling off stories about his life as a teacher in Thailand. How, after graduating from the L.S.E., he \"did the backpacker thing\" and then \"fell in love with that crazy town they call the City of Angels\".</p>\n<p>An offer of a beer from you resulted in a few more insights into the teaching world in Bangkok. \"Don\'t worry about paper qualifications, any idiot can get a job.\" It was then you realized that one way to honour Granny\'s memory would be to teach others everything you learnt. Maybe you didn\'t have as much to offer as the average Oxbridge graduate but you could tell a good story and got on well with people - attributes that would surely hold you in good stead as a teacher.</p>\n<p>The following day, after shaking off a wicked hangover and withdrawing your life savings from an ATM, you headed off to Thomas Cook and booked your flight to Taiwan. Realising your error too late you arrived in Taipei feeling as dejected as the average Man U fan every time their team play against a real European side.</p>\n<p>Fast forward. Taipei didn\'t go as well as you hoped. After three months spent eking out a living as a corporate language school slave you still hadn\'t saved more than enough to pay the taxi fare to the airport. However, fate, in the form of a blacklisted medical practitioner came to your aid, and within a couple of weeks you were up over 2,000 dollars and down one kidney.</p>\n<p>Bangkok\'s certainly been an eye opener. Buxom Debbie from the chippie has been replaced by the more petite Lek from the Soi 7 beergarden. Even so \'hunky dory\' wouldn\'t be the phrase used to describe your life right now, if it was medically possible to sell your other kidney you would probably have done so by now and used the money to get back to the land of cold women and warm beer. Harking back to that fateful night in the Manhattan Club you wish you\'d not limited your conversation to the topic of \"Thai babes\".</p>\n<p>Someday you\'ll get out of here though but until then it\'s just you and Lek against the world, although she hasn\'t been back home for three days now. You may not have conquered the world but at least you can console yourself with the notion granny\'s looking down and smiling proudly once again - if only for a fleeting moment. Now, if only your parents thought the same way.</p>\n</p>','','2001-05-08 19:27:59',1,'2001-05-08 19:27:59','2009-11-24 09:09:00'),(1032,50,'Those were the days','those-were-the-days','Why I chose Thailand of all places','Stuck for something to write so a bit about myself - most of it true, figure out the embellishments for yourself','<p>Before I began to write the LIBeL columns I was fortunate to receive several nuggets of advice from a \'real\' journalist. This is what he told me:\n<p>1. The passive voice is to be avoided. <br />2. Its very important that you use apostrophe\'s correctly. <br />3. Avoid ampersands &amp; abbreviations, etc. <br />4. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague. They\'re old hat.</p>\n<p>He also passed on tips about how to come up with a column if it was a Sunday afternoon and I only had about half an hour in which to cobble something together for publication the following Wednesday. \"Write something autobiographical, but embellish it a little.\"</p>\n<p>Apparently this approach worked well for Churchill who managed to fill several weighty tomes about his lifetimes exploits and, if Frank Bruno (ex-Heavyweight whipping boy and logically (?) a British national treasure) can fill a book about his lifetime\'s exploits, then any fool can write 800 words. Resisting the urge to write a piece on Sex, Lies and Soapy Massages. I decided to reminisce about the good old days before I became a well-respected \'ajarn\' and pillar of the English teaching community.</p>\n<p>I never had any plan to teach in Thailand. It just happened. As the majority of farang \'teachers\' know, there comes a time in every desperate travelers life when they have to toss the \'coin of destiny\' and decide whether to head home or to start a new life in a distant land. Often the proverbial coin of destiny is firmly weighted in favour of hanging round a polluted third world city, or to be more politically correct \' developing metropolis\', for longer than one would like. This is simply because procrastinating about whether to or not flip it has put off the inevitable decision day until no viable alternatives remain.</p>\n<p>Had common sense come into play, no one in their right mind would wait until they were down to their last travellers cheque before they mentally press-ganged themselves into making a decision that would affect the rest of their lives.</p>\n<p>Flashback to June \'97, I\'d just spent a couple of months riding my bicycle around Burma and had to pay quite a hefty overstay fee to the nice men in uniforms at the airport. I was back in Bangkok but my plans to meet up with a friend in Korea were scuppered by my lack of foreign exchange reserves. Indeed, my financial situation was a microcosm of Thailand\'s at that time. To be honest it still is now, my balance of payments is improving but not as fast as I\'d like. Instead of the central bank blowing vast amounts of money propping up the baht, my reserves are spent propping up the bar.</p>\n<p>And so the fickle finger of fate led me into the teaching profession. I should add that I\'d dabbled a little prior to this, teaching in Egypt for a few months, a year or so earlier, and I\'d also taken a generic TEFL certificate whilst I was in England. When I was younger myself and my two younger sisters both swore that absolutely, under no circumstances, would we ever, ever, become teachers like our parents. So guess what happened after our failed attempts at other careers? Helen teaches in Japan, Flo was off to South America to teach Amazon dwellers last I heard and I\'m here. At least it gives my parents a chance to take a few holidays somewhere other than the Yorkshire Dales.</p>\n<p>Other factors that helped tip the scales in favour of a life spent wearing crumpled white shirts and being sandwiched amongst the great unwashed on the daily commute to work were, if I didn\'t I might have to work for a living and also, it\'s rare that an \'average Joe\' is given the opportunity to corrupt the young minds of the future leader\'s of a nation - especially when it\'s not your own, which makes it more fun.</p>\n<p>My first class was an elementary business class for about 8 students at ECC, Anusawaree branch. In hindsight my students all probably felt a little short changed, with the exception of the gorgeous talkative girl who made getting up at 8 am on a Sunday morning for class worthwhile. Remember at this stage I was still new to BKK and the novelty of coming in contact with the most beautiful girl in the world (in my very classroom!!) had yet to wear off.</p>\n<p>One thing all low and middle end language schools realize is that beggars can\'t be choosers. To be honest, most beggars aren\'t complaining though. Like myself, they are just thankful for the work and the opportunity to earn enough money to be able to treat themselves to a Big Mac every fortnight.</p>\n<p>For the next three months I accepted every class I was offered and finally I had enough money to leave. Out came the coin of destiny again but no matter how many times I tossed it, it always came up \'tails\'.</p>\n<p>Must be karma, man.</p>\n</p>','','2001-05-01 19:31:29',1,'2001-05-01 19:31:29','2009-11-24 09:09:30'),(1033,50,'In the beginning was the word','in-the-beginning-was-the-word','You know how Thais just love their gadgets','\"How to get Thais reading something other than the manual for their new Nokia?\" A rhetorical question answered by taking the humble book hi-tech.','<p>(If William Caxton could see us now . . .)\n<p>You know how Thailand\'s future leaders love their gadgets.

It\'s only after you\'ve rushed out and bought one of these next generation G3 rice cookers that you realize approximately zero features can actually be coaxed into life in the average Bangkokian kitchen. But hey, it looks good and possesses a quality known as \'high technology\' - two factors that would appear to rate more highly than functionality and practicality in the Thai equivalents of the \'Which? magazine Best-Buy\' guide.</p>\n<p>This preoccupation with all things modern, hip and trendy may be one of the reasons why you seldom see the average Thai reading a book. The definition of \'book\' that I\'m using is:</p>\n<p>\'An assortment of pages bound together, which has more words than pictures, discounting school textbooks, train timetables and the rather extensive menus some up-market restaurants go in for - which appear to be designed for the sole purpose of bamboozling Earl n\' Pearl from Hicksville, Tennessee into ordering two thousand baht worth of char grilled rock lobster intestines instead of two meagre servings of American fried rice.\'</p>\n<p>If you\'re new to Thailand, and a tad skeptical at this juncture, about the lack of reading - not the price of a crustacean\'s innards, just try asking your class about the last book that they read. Initially you\'ll have to explain that you expect them all to use the verb \'read\' in their replies and not the phrasal verbs \'look at\' or \'colour in\'. Once you\'ve passed this hurdle, try asking them why they read the book. Here\'s where the majority, not all because some of the students will be working their way through \'HarrEE PottUR\', will respond \"Because the teacher told us to.\" I should mention at this stage that we\'re talking about books written in Thai not English.</p>\n<p>In a post on an ESL mailing list, a worried mother noted that since her son\'s English teacher made reading homework compulsory, both his level of English and concentration span had increased dramatically. Now, her son is hooked on books. So, how about making reading books (either Thai or English) part of a Thai kids daily homework routine?</p>\n<p>Errr, no, it\'s not going to work. Why? Because this requires the parents to give up half an hour of their free time to listen and help their kids reading.

So to kick things off, let\'s ruminate upon the question \' Who were the most famous teachers in history?\'\n<p>A couple of names spring to mind, those of the Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ. Not wishing to wind up 95% of the population of this country, I\'ll concentrate this week\'s literary efforts on the son of God.</p>\n<p>As the Bible recollects, Jesus didn\'t just concentrate his efforts on a few party pieces - e.g. the \'water into wine\' show, which in addition to taking place in front of a live audience, was as good an illusion as anything David Copperfield can pull out of a hat 2000 years later. He was also a mentor, who strived to pass on his wisdom to those around him. He wanted to heal the world, and to make it a better place, for you and for me, and the entire human race.</p>\n<p>One of the many urban myths going around is the fact that Jesus never visited Thailand. The Dead Sea scrolls show otherwise, as I\'m sure any Torah scholars reading this will verify. Imagine you\'re the son of God, you\'re bound to get stressed and feel the urge to get away from the fans for a while. But what to tell the folks at home? You need a cover story.</p>\n<p>In the end a parable, or something similar, that involved wandering in the wilderness for 40 days is fed to the local media, in hindsight not the most convincing story but as Dad said \' You can fool some of the people some of the time, and they\'re the ones we\'re after\'.</p>\n<p>And so it came to pass that Jesus hopped on the next available mule train and headed for ancient Siam.</p>\n<p>A few weeks later Jesus na Nakon Sawan, as he was now known, guided his young disciples up the mountain. As the early morning mist cleared, Jesus seated his flock in a semi-circle on the mountaintop.</p>\n<p>Foregoing a warmer, Jesus began to preach n\' teach . . . \"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek and the merciful. Blessed are they that thirst for justice. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven. Now does anyone have any questions about the blessed?\"</p>\n<p>Then Kob and Wan asked \"Will we have a test on this?\" Lek added \"Do we have to write this down?\" He was quickly followed by Air and Jiew who wanted to let Jesus know \"We left our books at home \"</p>\n<p>Nut muttered \"I bet the other disciples didn\'t have to learn this\" under his breath and, sitting nearby, Sak enquired \'Are we supposed to remember all of this?\". Tee wanted to know \"What does this have to do with real life?\"</p>\n<p>By this stage our hero was beginning to wish that he\'d followed his old mate Judas\' advice and spent his vacation saving fallen women in a small seaside town on Siam\'s eastern seaboard.</p>\n<p>Finally, the little smartarse sitting at the front of the flock chipped in \" Why do you say blessED? Shouldn\'t the final phoneme be a /t/ sound?\" Remembering the adage of a sage, who\'s counsel he\'d once sought, Jesus retorted \"It\'s an exception to the rule.\"</p>\n<p>Ignoring a follow up query regarding his being a native speaker or not, Jesus was about to move on to saying a few words about coveting thy neighbours buffalo (history has shown us that this part of the lesson was still a work in progress) when a Pharisee, who\'d happened to be wandering the peak, sidled over.</p>\n<p>Historical note: Just as every Bollywood train comes complete with a dance troupe on the roof, so every mountain top in Biblical times had a wandering Pharisee lying in wait to question unsuspecting teacher-trainers.</p>\n<p>The worldly-wise Pharisee asked to see Jesus\' lesson plan and inquired of Jesus, \"Where for art thou aims and objectives? Do you forsee any problems with these edifications? If so, how do you plan to overcome them?\"</p>\n<p>And the best Jesus could do was to smile meekly and reply \"Don\'t know. I\'ll ask my Dad to help me.\"</p>\n<p>And lo, Jesus\' Thai disciples proceeded to go forth and spread his teachings throughout the Kingdom. Did they succeed? Buddhist scholars would argue no.</p>\n<p>I\'d disagree. Most Thai kids now get on in life by adhering to Jesus\' edict \"Your family will bail you out of trouble\", this is testimony to the fact that although they did indeed spread the word, the disciples forgot to bring their pens to the mountaintop and therefore couldn\'t recall the important stuff when it mattered most.</p>\n<p>Another ancient tradition ingrained in Thai culture.</p>\n<p>Here endeth today\'s lesson.</p>\n</p>','','2001-04-17 19:49:26',1,'2001-04-17 19:49:26','2009-11-24 09:09:27'),(1035,50,'Born under a bad sign','born-under-a-bad-sign','Teachers are trained to watch for signs.

There are many different signs the diligent teacher should be aware of and looking out for at all times. Your day will be spent scanning the vacant faces in front of you for signs that the students are learning something, that the students aren\'t learning anything, that the students are on something or that the students are up to something.\n<p>Even the better TEFL courses don\'t teach you everything you should be aware of whilst plying your trade in a school environment. Here are some pointers for signs that could spell disaster, all of which, for some unfathomable reason, aren\'t taught on the RSA.</p>\n<p>The DoS smiles at you. The first bad sign. It means he\'s up to something, and that something somehow involves you. It could mean the you\'re about to be asked to volunteer to babysit a Saturday morning class or to help a pampered, zip-lipped twelve year old with her English homework. Whatever it is it won\'t be pleasant. If he not only smiles but also asks, \"How are you doing?\" that\'s even worse. And if he or she then adds, \"Could I see you in my office for a moment?\" - run!</p>\n<p>Things are going well for you in the classroom. Many inexperienced teachers take this for a good sign, but more seasoned educators know it means things are going to go bad for you and soon. The bad turn could be anything from a class rebellion to an outbreak of foot and mouth amongst your students. You won\'t know until it strikes. There\'s a well-known saying regarding the counting of chickens, this is your mantra.</p>\n<p>Your classroom is equipped with audio-visual aids. If you walk into your room and see a CD player, a tape recorder and a video it\'s a sure sign that none work, because if they did, they would have been pilfered long before now. Just in case you test the equipment and discover that everything does, amazingly, work - that means it\'s guaranteed to break as soon as you use it and the cost of replacements will come out of your wages.</p>\n<p>Your students tell you that you\'re their favorite teacher. If this happens, brace yourself. It\'s quite obvious that they want something. That something could be relatively small: \"Let\'s not talk about the Present Perfect tense today. Let\'s talk about football.\" Or your students could be angling for something bigger: \"Why don\'t you take us to for a meal at the Sukhothai so we can practice our restaurant vocabulary in a realistic setting?\"</p>\n<p>You are prepared for all your classes for the coming week. You cannot tempt fate so blatantly without expecting dire consequences. Of the last eight people who planned their entire week\'s lessons prior to the event - three were hit by speeding Yakult delivery women on their way to work on Monday morning, two suffered internal injuries in \'goong dten\' related incidents, two were ostracised by society and are currently journalists; and one poor soul was promoted to Academic Director at a school in Sakhon Nakhon.</p>\n<p>Your students do very badly on a test. This is a bad sign, or at least the administration interprets it as a bad sign, which makes it so for you. It means you are an incompetent teacher who ought to be kicked out of the classroom as soon as possible. If your students do poorly on a test shhhh! don\'t tell anyone not even your students. Destroy the tests, give a retest, and hope and pray that the kids do better but not too much better. (See the next sign.)</p>\n<p>Your students do very well on your test. This too is a bad sign. In fact, it\'s a worse sign than the above. It can only mean one, or all, of three things: 1) the test was too easy, 2) you are an idiot, 3) the kids cheated.</p>\n<p>You have a few free minutes to yourself after your class, you decide to sit back and read Robotman in the paper before heading home. If this happens, one of the following events is bound to occur: 1) another teacher will complain about you to the DoS for always lounging around and never doing any work 2) a student will come in and ask if he or she could talk to you for a minute and stay 2 hours, 3) the teacher for the 6.30 am private class tomorrow will phone in sick - guess who is cajoled into covering for them?</p>\n<p>You receive positive feedback during observation by your peers.

Anyone thinking \'Pattaya\' should hang their heads in shame. Pattaya is an idyllic paradise located on Thailand\'s eastern seaboard. In fact it\'s the ideal holiday destination for all the family. (I know that because I have another job writing tourist brochures for the TAT.)\n<p>Actually this article was written in the F.C.C. in Phnom Penh. One of the legendary hangouts of wannabe journos and package tour adventurers. As you\'d expect the F.C.C. is a faded creamy yellow building, creamy yellow being the designated colour of choice for all buildings which reflect bygone times. Basically, it\'s a kind of mid-life Khoa San hangout, the setting may have changed from Banglamphu, Bangkok to the riverside, Phnom Penh, the price of a beer trebled but the stories remain the same.</p>\n<p>The FCC is a good place to eavesdrop on conversations about the hardships of travelling in an authentic third world country. A blue rinsed American woman was complaining about the number of landmine victims in P.P. Not on any humanitarian grounds, more because of the amount they was costing her. Apparently she was giving a dollar to every amputee she saw. Obviously not realising the value of a single dollar to a one-legged Cambodian.</p>\n<p>As word spread of her generosity, or stupidity, depending on your point of view, bystanders were hacking their own limbs off as soon as they saw her coming down the street. \"It\'s so different from reality\" was her summation after her 20 minute diatribe entitled \'What\'s wrong with this country compared to mine\'.</p>\n<p>Going off on a tangent leads me to the subject of what is reality. Most visitors arriving in Bangkok for the first time find it a bit of an assault on their senses. Everything\'s the same and yet somehow different. It\'s a similar leap into the unknown when the average Bangkok based expat heads to Phnom Penh for the first time.</p>\n<p>Sure driving styles differ. Cambodians seem to hold the belief that crashing and burning is a pretty good, relatively painless way to go out. Which, given the country\'s recent history, is probably true. However, the first real sign that you aren\'t in Bangkok anymore is when you glance at a menu in any of the river front restaurants and immediately notice that you can get real cheese here.</p>\n<p>Camembert, Brie, Emmental, Feta, they\'ve got it all. After living in Bangkok for a while you come to accept the fact that you\'re never going to taste decent cheese again, unless you fancy splashing out several hundred baht for a mouthful sized morsel from Villa.</p>\n<p>\"Which kind of cheese would you like with your salad\" the waitress enquires. Your reflex response is \"Processed orange squares, please.\" She gives you a withering look that suggests she knows that you hail from a culinary backwater. Say what you will about French colonialism, the bottom line is that they left Cambodia with a legacy of excellent baguettes, pate and cheeses.</p>\n<p>An aspect of Bangkok often remarked upon by first time visitors is the number of Mercedes-Benzes on the streets. Similarly, first time visitors to Phnom Penh remark on the number of white Landcruisers on the streets. These all belong to the multitude of N.G.O.s operating in the country. Remembering the first principle of any charity - that it begins at home - your average N.G.O. will first ensure that swish villas and 4 wheel drives for the family are provided first. Any donations, which haven\'t been spent reimbursing the receipts for \'takeaways\' from Sharky\'s or Martini\'s bars, can go to the locals.</p>\n<p>You can imagine a phone conversation between the tireless NGO volunteer enduring his hardship posting in P.P. and his boss back in Zurich.</p>\n<p>\"So, Henri, after 6 months fieldwork and research what are your conclusions and recommendations.\"</p>\n<p>\"Beer at the Manhattan club is well overpriced and Herb\'s Happy pizzas really kick ass\"</p>\n<p>\"Actually, I was referring to your work for \'Medicin sans frontiers et ethics\'\"</p>\n<p>\"Sorry, I forgot there was a reason for me being here.

The door closed and dozen educators were thrown together for an hour. Initially a few nonchalant nods of acquaintance were noted, followed by a few mumbled \"Allright\"s. A couple peered out of the window and showed unusual interest in an orange number 4 aircon bus. \"Bloody rip off - 16 Baht\" Subject A muttered. C, standing within earshot, added \" Too right, I never use \'em. Take the red buses. Only 3&frac12; baht\". \"I always walk.\" chipped in a rather unkempt D.</p>\n<p>And so, with this rather inane conversation, linguistic intercourse had begun. But where would it lead? What topics would be explored by these fine young minds? Would a creative brainstorming session result from the initial bus fare related complaint, which in turn would lead us to a solution for Bangkok\'s transport woes? I guess you may accuse me of being over optimistic and, after reading the results of the research, you may well accuse the subjects of being over pessimistic, but that\'s the wacky world of research for you.</p>\n<p>The topics discussed over the course of the 60 minute session can be broken down as follows: Silence -1 minute, Halfhearted greetings - 30 seconds, Complaints about buses - 2 minutes, Complaints about the hardships suffered by English teachers - 56 minutes 30 seconds, Constructive criticism &amp; plans of action to improve one\'s lot - 0 minutes.</p>\n<p>But what did they complain about? Surely life must be pretty peachy. The average farang teacher earns over 4 times as much as a Thai counterpart. Big Macs are half the US price. The beer is cold and the girls hot - contrary to the UK. You can watch live Premier League matches for free. The sun is shining and U2\'s &lsquo;Beautiful Day\' is on the radio. What\'s there to gripe about?</p>\n<p>A lot it would seem. In addition to a heated conflagration, regarding which illicit substances the characters on &lsquo;The Magic Roundabout\' represented (Dylan was dope - that\'s taken as an absolute, as for Zebedee, Brian and Ermintrude the cow, the jury is still out.), the main ire inducing subject matters were money and the bosses.</p>\n<p>M-O-N-E-Y. At the end of the day it\'s the owners of the schools who determine the rate teachers will be paid. The Manager has to produce a profit and find teachers who are willing to work for a pittance, hereafter referred to as &lsquo;a salary commensurate with your experience\'. Perception is reality. Pine veneer, chrome and frosted glass are an obvious sign of quality. As one of the specimens under the microscope commented \"To think that the owner would consider increasing a teachers salary, because they would receive better service, increased student satisfaction and increased student re-enrolments is, quite frankly, an anathema.\" By which he meant &lsquo;bollocks\'.</p>\n<p>Conversely an outspoken lab rat commented \"You all think a 4 week RSA entitles you too a decent salary. Most Thais study for 16 years and are lucky if they can get half of what you earn\". The fact that many Thais study English for 16 years but still leave university, degree in hand, without being able to string a coherent sentence together will be discussed in a future column, when I\'m in a less culturally sensitive mood.</p>\n<p>After all who really gives a toss, they\'re the ones who keep language schools in business. Conspiracy theorists could well link the state of English tuition in Thai schools with a cunning farang devised plot to ensure employment for thousands of white boys who can\'t hack it in their own countries.</p>\n<p>Reading between the lines and bypassing common sense, it\'s easy to draw the conclusion that most teacher\'s would be happy to work for 20% less if a) they were required to teach 40% fewer hours and b) the ratio of \" totty\" to \"natural born wasters\" was above 7:1 in each class.</p>\n<p>Academic Directors, Directors of Studies or Pet Farangs? The titles on the embossed business cards may vary but the complaints remain constant. Being a good teacher doesn\'t always equate to being a good manager. Throw in a power trip, mix with a healthy disregard for others, add a pinch of nepotism and top with an &lsquo;I\'m alright Jack\' attitude and you have the recipe for both a disaster and for whinging subordinates. \"This is Captain Chaos welcoming you aboard &lsquo;The Mary Celeste\', next stop . . . . oblivion.\" If that\'s the case, abandon ship now and head to a school where a concerned boss will show just enough interest in you to convince you that, \"Hey, we care\".</p>\n<p>Wasn\'t that Union Carbide\'s slogan at one time?</p>\n</p>','','2001-03-20 23:32:39',1,'2001-03-20 23:32:39','2009-11-24 13:01:40'),(1039,50,'An inspector calls','an-inspector-calls','OK folks, stand by your beds','when ministry of Ed. dignitaries visit schools - strange things start happening i.e. classes are taught properly!','<p>Put yourself in the place of the average Thai teacher for a moment.

Never has so much energy been misdirected in so many ways.</p>\n<p>When teachers start preparing &lsquo;child centred activities\' you know that something\'s up. It\'s as though the the 11th academic commandment was handed down from on high to the poor muddled masses scurrying around on the frontline:</p>\n<p>\"Forget everything you ever taught in the last 20 years and come up with something that actually interests the students (or we\'ll be up the creek without a canoe, let alone a paddle)\"</p>\n<p>On the inconvenience scale it\'s right up there with having your family die in a car wreck. As we all know fixing the car, if you aren\'t comprehensively covered, is a hell of a hassle.</p>\n<p>Luckily I.D.1 (Inspection Day 1) went well. The opening day of the inspection concentrated on evaluating the overall running of the school, rating the welcoming ceremony and assessing the servitude of the teacher\'s paraded before them. The general appearance of the school is also taken into consideration.</p>\n<p>Tree huggers will be happy to know that over the course of last weekend the assorted collection of withering plant life which masqueraded as an ornamental garden metamorphosised and rose, like a phoenix from the ashes, into an incarnation of a Japanese style garden, complete with white stone rockery and enough bamboo to keep a pair of pampered pandas pacified.</p>\n<p>Teachers are pulling out all the stops in an effort to convince the men from the ministry that the school is doing more than merely trading on past glories. It goes without saying that some are beginning to crack under the pressure. The science master in particular has been unusually active in his efforts to involve the students more in practical experiments. You know, the kind you can try at home.</p>\n<p>A display entitled &lsquo;Chlorine gas. Friend or foe?&lsquo;, complete with happy smiling \'Mickey Molecule\' diagrams now adorns the wall of the lab. Underneath sits a stoppered bottle of green mist, a note on the outside invites students to decide whether Charlie Chlorine is a best buddy or arch enemy of Larry Lung.</p>\n<p>Taking a break from real life and actually participating in real life science experiments has been such an eye opener for the students that there were no shortage of volunteers wanting to participate in the experiment designed to illustrate Newton\'s Laws of Motion. The idea was to measure the displacement of force and see how the idea of every action having an equal and opposite reaction could be simply illustrated.</p>\n<p>The original premise was good I thought, but the idea of proving the point by using an experiment that was designed to see what thickness of cardboard could stop a round from an M-16 seemed a little O.T.T.</p>\n<p>\"Targeting the students is what it\'s all about\" the Science master answered when asked by the man from the ministry. \"So, is it child centred ?\" enquired the inspector. The teacher, ignoring the grammatical error, looked into the sights and replied, \"Yes, the child is centred.\" And gave the order to fire. \"There, dead centred\" he quipped, placing an overstrong emphasis on the first word.</p>\n<p>In the background openmouthed kids looked on dumbstruck with one exception. Young Kanit was already on his third page of calculations and had his hand up wanting to know if the teacher was going to accept gravity as 9.8m/s or 9.81m/s and whether the resistance of a white cotton shirt should be taken into account when calculating the impact velocity.</p>\n<p>Noting that the man from the ministry had now been joined by several men in brown uniforms, the teacher informed Kanit that the beauty of child centred learning is that the kids are free to make their own decisions. He then informed the rest of the class the answer was &lsquo;B\' and was promptly transferred to a non-active position by his superiors.</p>\n<p>Then, as quickly as it all began it\'s over. The discipline master, following the science teacher\'s lead is busy looking for a few good WWF moves to teach any young charges who step out of line. (Choke slams aren\'t mentioned anywhere in the ban on corporal punishment) As for young Kanit, he has been expelled for the heinous crimes of exposing classmates to an intolerable amount of loss of face and daring to question a teacher in public.</p>\n<p>Well Kanit, at least you learn\'t something about reality, the first rule being \"If you want to get on, keep your mouth shut.\"</p>\n</p>','','2001-03-13 23:39:18',1,'2001-03-13 23:39:18','2009-11-24 13:01:19'),(1040,50,'Whinging Thai teachers & cheering practice.','whinging-thai-teachers-cheering-practice','Returning to the topic of ISO numbers for a moment','Making the best use of those valuable school days - by cancelling classes in order to standardise students cheering ISO style. \n','<p>Just to return to the theme of ISO accreditation for a paragraph. I noticed earlier today that Berli Jucker Co. Foods, known for their top notch potato based snacks have also become members of the ISO club in Thailand. One question remains. Does this mean that their potatoes and the students in ISO ratified schools are somehow equal in quality? Answers on a postcard please. Strangely enough, I\'ll probably get complaints about this rhetorical question doing an injustice to BJC Foods\' vegetables.\n<p>Before going any further, an important disclaimer. I must point out that all references to the daily goings on in schools are figments of my imagination and not based on the bizarre occurances in any particular school. In fact, the school to which I sometimes make references to is the hypothetic and unfathomably prestigious St Judas\' Academy for Serial Underperfomers.</p>\n<p>This week at St Judas\' a mysterious label appeared on the computer in the teacher\'s room warning teachers not to use it for individual work. A more effective warning might have been \"And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my P.C. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.\" Now that\'s the sort of thing that would make you think twice.</p>\n<p>No doubt teachers will be charged for wear and tear to the keyboard for any unauthorised usage. Taking things a little further would entail employing a hypnotist who would instill a second personality into the minds of every teacher. One personality would kick in when teaching, discussing grades, tests, retaking tests, retaking retaken tests etc and the other would surface when chatting about plans for the weekend.</p>\n<p>Come to think of it that might not be a bad idea. Hypnotise every teacher so that they think that life is peachy and never complain about anything - no matter how incomprehensible or nonsensical the order or how inconvenient the task being asked of them. At St. Judas\' it appears that someone has already implemented this cunning plan and \'Stepford wives\' type personalities have been issued to many of the teachers.</p>\n<p>So no matter what, no-one ever complains, at least not out loud and not in public. Hence the strange quizzical expression on some Thais faces when a farang complains. It\'s as though the thought of complaining, for example about being the last to know that your entire schedule has been changed, is the equivalent of asking them to explain quantum physics or decide how much wood the woodchuck could actually chuck. The Thai \'panic\' reflex action kicks in - Appear to listen. Smile. Nod as though you comprehend. Then busy yourself with something infinitely more important such as organising your paperclip collection.</p>\n<p>I realise that some sticklers for Thai culture take a dim view at the attempts at humour shown in Ajarn.com and in this column. Fair enough, but I\'m not looking to write sociological essays or a website which is a fact filled snooze-fest. The bottom line is that if you\'re not amused don\'t read it.</p>\n<p>At St. Judas\' the kids have been practicing cheering, since last December, for an upcoming football tournament, to be held sometime in late 2001. Of course the importance of a rehearsing a coordinated cheer far outweighs that of studying, so every week half a day\'s lessons are cancelled for cheering practice.</p>\n<p>Cheering doesn\'t only include yelling \"We are, we are, (insert school name)\" until hoarse, it also entails holding up coloured cards which, providing they\'re aligned correctly, form a beautiful mosaic. These pictures are designed by teachers from the schools and the mosaic images vary from the sights of amazing Thailand to the royal family and in one case \'funny\' images of Adolf Hitler.</p>\n<p>I hope the school concerned won the award for best mosaic featuring a despised mass murderer. At least I hope the teachers and kids found it funny. I didn\'t. But I guess, just as some Thais have difficult understanding the nuances of \'farang\' humour, I sometimes have the same problem comprehending what passes for Thai humour.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the football, a student told me the real reason many of his friends don\'t enjoy the football tournament. It\'s the fact that, in addition to having to sit out in the scorching sun for several hours, they\'re not allowed to have a toilet break all day. This is a cause of great consternation amongst young teenage boys.</p>\n<p>Students are left with a dilemma, either they dehydrate and suffer the consequences or they down a few litres of soft drinks and suffer the consequences. A situation involving having to use an empty plastic coke bottle as a receptacle is pretty alien to them as the cheering practice manual contains no references to this eventuality. Luckily a solution is at hand. The embarrassment of peeing in public can be eased by using a technique that involves simultaneously maneuvering the bottle up the leg of your shorts with one hand whilst using the other to ensure your willy is correctly positioned.</p>\n<p>Ah, the trials and tribulations of \'shooting rabbits\' in stadiums. At least the idea of then hurling the half filled bottles of warm yellow liquid at students from opposing schools hasn\'t occurred to them - until now.</p>\n</p>','','2001-03-06 23:41:27',1,'2001-03-06 23:41:27','2010-02-04 21:09:28'),(1041,50,'Summer camps','summer-camps','Heading out into the great wide open','A users guide to what to expect when 130 pre-teens hit an out of season 3 star hotel.\n','<p>Come mid-March the shopping malls which, days earlier, had been alive with the sound of kids frolicking, will be eerily quiet. The exodus of middle class children from Bangkok to far flung outposts up-country and overseas has begun.\n<p>It\'s a long standing Thai tradition to, if at all possible, send ones children away for a few weeks for a spot of education and character building. Let\'s go back five or six hundred years. The Kingdoms of Sukhothai, and later Ayuttaya, are continually battling, and getting whupped by, the Burmese.</p>\n<p>Why? A lack of modern weaponry or tactical errors? No. Examining the facts again has led Boonlert na Bangrajan, an expert in the field, to conclude that the Thai warriors sent to battle the Burmese were in fact the kids of the middle classes of the time. Check your history books, virtually all the conflagrations between the Thais and Burmese took place in the school holidays.</p>\n<p>Parents saw armed combat as an opportunity for their kids to learn new skills, get some exercise, travel to another country and interact with the locals. In addition it got them out of the house and gave the parents some peace and quiet for a couple of months.</p>\n<p>Leaping forward to the present day and the reasons remain the same. Come the summer holidays and the rich kids are all signed up for month long courses outside Bangkok. Courses range from the 150,000 Baht luxury packages to the bargain basement 15,000 Baht,<br />cheap \'n\' cheerful, camping in Khao Yai packages. The former includes 5 star accommodation, football tuition from David Beckham, the services of a nanny and a guarantee that the little angel won\'t have to lift a pen during the entire month but will still come home bearing a certificate that confirms the poppet\'s successful completion of an intensive English course.</p>\n<p>The latter includes the services of a couple of Khao San road teachers and an assistant Thai student teacher who knows how to organise a game of the would-be Olympic sport of Chairball. Between them they\'ll keep the kids occupied and, comparatively, safe with numerous word searches and party games around the electric campfire.</p>\n<p>As the rich (Benz 300 series and up) kids head off to the sun of California or drizzle of the UK, the Toyota owner\'s kids are stuck in Thailand living it up at a \'resort\' a couple of hours coach ride from Bangkok. A resort is defined as a hotel that was built upcountry during the boom years by a property speculator and bears more than a passing resemblance to an up market open jail. You\'re free to walk out of the gate at any time but if you do there\'s nowhere to run to within a 30 kilometre radius.</p>\n<p>So, after confirming that you\'re free in April, you\'re shown a glossy leaflet complete with photos of luxuriously appointed suites, the free form pool - with a couple of modestly clad babes lounging poolside, and the promise of the opportunity to get away from it all. \" Count me in\", you say.</p>\n<p>The first inkling that all is not what it seems is when the coach turns off the main road and starts along the 10km dirt track which leads to the resort. This feeling of isolation is reinforced when, upon arrival at the resort, you notice that your school are the only guests. Then you discover that, due to the resort\'s outback location, it\'s impossible to receive UBC and getting hold of a Bangkok Post is going to entail a 3-hour yomp to the nearest town.</p>\n<p>In fact the only thing you aren\'t going to be able to get away from are the three other teachers crammed into your room with you. Incidentally, the fact that the room bears no resemblance to the one pictured in the brochure is simultaneously remarked upon by everyone approximately 2 nanoseconds after entering the room for the first time.</p>\n<p>You now decide to view the \'extensive grounds\'. After strolling through the tropical garden (a dozen plant pots that are home to wilting yuccas) you happen upon the pool. A closer look reveals another discrepancy between the promotional leaflet and reality. Never mind the absence of basking poolside babes, you can live with that. It\'s the million litres of chlorinated water that\'s most noticable in its absence. Looking into the sludge at the bottom of the pool you notice one claim that is correct - \'home to abundant wildlife\', that is if algae can be classified as wildlife.</p>\n<p>However, at the end of the day, you aren\'t here for a holiday. You\'re here for the kids. Providing that they come away from the camp with a little more knowledge than they had, when they were ripped from their nanny\'s arms a few days previously, then it will all have been worthwhile.</p>\n<p>Having said that anyone running summer camps on Koh Samui and requiring a dedicated, conscientious teacher should contact me.

If a school or college is considering buying or even, in some extreme cases, achieving ISO status, then a few hundred thousand baht\'s worth of landscaping work, ornamental flowers and Japanese carp is the first order of the day.\n<p>A common misconception is that if a school attains ISO status then it\'s a top quality establishment that provides top quality teaching for top quality students. Unfortunately, this isn\'t the case and in reality the attainment of ISO is more down to the combined efforts of gardeners and landscape artists than the teachers.</p>\n<p>My previous college is in the process of applying for ISO certification - every single, living thing (including the street dogs that wander into the canteen from time to time) has a yellow, plastic name tag on it. One farcical scene involved plants being moved from one place to another during an ISO inspection. The college was suffering an unexpected plant deficit, therefore the small number of well cared for potted shrubs were being lugged around from building to building. Thus, no matter where the inspectors went, they were sure to be greeted by the sight of yuccas swaying in the breeze.</p>\n<p>At the entrance to my present school a large sign proudly proclaims its ISO status. We\'ve got orchids hanging from balconies and a veritable jungle was planted near the new toilet block, which has since withered and died. Apparently ISO doesn\'t require you to actually tend to the plants, only to plant them.</p>\n<p>Of course I\'m oversimplifying the ISO application process, plants are only half the equation. The other half involves putting multicoloured stickers on everything that isn\'t animal or vegetable. It\'s boom time for stationery shops. Circular day glow stickers cover every surface and, accompanying each set of stickers, is a chart that explains, in simple language, what each sticker corresponds to. In case that isn\'t enough and people still have problems working out how to switch on the room lights, the corresponding item, be it a light, fan, cupboard etc has an identical sticker on it.</p>\n<p>As if spending half the schools annual budget on greenery and the remainder on \'idiot proofing\' rooms wasn\'t enough, then the amount of paperwork involved in getting the simplest of tasks done increases dramatically. There is now a procedure for everything. You want a new stapler, fill out a request form, hand it to the head of your department who will sign it and pass it along to her senior.</p>\n<p>At this point you discover that the school\'s one carp short of the required ISO approved compliment, so your request has been denied. The following day a new carp arrives, two days later the fish is found belly up - it appears to have been bludgeoned to death with an office implement. Fellow teachers notice a smug smile of revenge on your face. And so the circle of ISO life grinds on.</p>\n<p>Of course the fact that your school has ISO status does have it\'s good points - for a start the school can charge higher fees to unsuspecting parents who are led to believe that ISO status somehow equates to a higher standard of teaching. ISO merely states that apart from having a few pot plants and a large fishpond, the school has written procedural manuals for everything that a procedural manual can be written for.</p>\n<p>ISO only guarantees that endless procedures will be followed. Applied to a factory environment, for which ISO was originally intended, this means that all the products will be produced in an identical manner. The product may well be a pile of crap but that\'s irrelevant as long as the specified procedures were carried out during the manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>It has been mentioned that the only companies that apply for ISO 9002 are those who cant compete either because their products are of low quality or over priced. It\'s hoped that having an ISO seal of approval will increase sales amongst gullible consumers.</p>\n<p>Ditto schools and colleges in Thailand? You tell me. After schools in Hong Kong went on an ISO rampage, a report in Newsweek, I think, quoted one of the territory\'s top academics as noting that the profusion of schools leaping on the ISO bandwagon was the worst thing to happen to the education system in living memory.</p>\n<p>Fine if you\'re building robots, not so good if, on the one hand you\'re trying to promote \'child-centered learning\' and on the other insisting that there\'s a set way to do everything and that all kids are treated in an identical manner. \"I\'m a person, not a number\".

These, more often than not, take place over the Christmas week at government establishments and everywhere else a week or so later. The subject of testing is one that\'s guaranteed to get a few indignant responses from farang teachers - which isn\'t really surprising when you compare what goes on in an average Thai school/college with their counterparts in Western nations.</p>\n<p>Multiple guess tests are the test of choice in the majority of educational establishments. It\'s easy for the teachers to mark - a computer usually does it - and most of the students can manage to make some form of blot in one of the four boxes available - so no loss of face about handing in a blank test paper.</p>\n<p>Apart from being a bit of a cop out, relying solely on the results from multiple choice exams, which often happens, doesn\'t really give the teacher a clear understanding of the comprehension ability of an individual student. I figure that the whole reason behind students being tested should be to see if they actually understand what the hell the teacher\'s been talking about whilst they\'ve been sleeping for the last couple of months.</p>\n<p>At this point someone will mention the fact that teachers should get to know their students individually and it\'s at this point I mention that getting to know, remember and evaluate over 650 students isn\'t something that\'s likely to happen.</p>\n<p>On the exam paper the teacher sets the students the task of reading a short passage and answering several questions.

The test determines who\'s actually read their books and not just drawn a pretty picture on the front cover - such as the kid sitting in the far left corner of the room I\'m in now. I\'m writing this column whilst invigilating an exam.</p>\n<p>Pen stuck in his ear, saliva slowly drooling out of the left corner of his mouth - it\'s \'Buffalo Boy\'. He\'s in his element. He\'s asleep. This is the kid who replies \"I\'m fine thank you. And you?\" to virtually any question you ask him, with the exception of \"How are you today?\" to which B.B. replies, as fast as greased lightning \"Today . . . uhh . . . Tuesday\" When you look at him quizzically, as if to kindly suggest that the first answer could be improved upon, he corrects himself \"Errr . . Beckham\".</p>\n<p>Further bemused expressions on the teachers face are met with him vainly blurting out words randomly in an attempt to guess the correct answer to your probing question. \"Manchester . . . . 2001 . . . . Britney . . . . sexy (giggle) . . . .KFC\" and, just as you\'re about to disappear shaking your head, \" . . . . .good \"</p>\n<p>Hang on a moment, he said \"Good\", I\'ll accept that for an answer. Now if I can only get him to repeat that as a direct response to my question I\'ll be able to hold my head up high in the teachers room. Here goes. \"How are you today?\" Another pained expression on B.B.\'s face, a lengthy pause, and then \"3pm.\" Sod it, I give in and allow him to go back to doing a dot to dot (or rather a zit to zit) picture on his friend\'s face.</p>\n<p>Getting back to the subject in hand. What about the students who get the question wrong but, more often than not, selected the \'near miss\' answer instead? Has anyone tried weighting choice tests so that \'almost correct\' answers, which show a degree of understanding on the student\'s part, are taken into account? Does this happen anywhere? If so, bearing in mind that some wrong answers are wrong-er than others, are degrees of wrongness ever taken into account as they would be in a written test?</p>\n<p>Someone throw some light on this for me.</p>\n<p>Next week . . .

You can see a mix of tourists, locals, and fellow English teachers. Hang on, how do you know they\'re English teachers? Easy. They stand out a mile. It\'s a popular myth amongst teachers that you can somehow disguise yourself. You can\'t.\n<p>Teachers come in all different shapes, forms and sizes but, no matter what, they always stand out. Whether it be in the queue at the bus stop, the supermarket checkout or for the toilets in the Thermae. At this point I must apologise for this insinuation. Of course there is no way that anyone would ever queue in Thailand. I should replace \'queue\' with \'loiter around\'. If you\'re the type who\'s adamant they would never loiter around the toilets in Thermae you should try it sometime - so I\'ve been told.</p>\n<p>\"What fashion trends do you see emerging in 2001?\" is a question that I\'ve never been asked, not being much of a style guru myself. However, hypothetically, if I were asked it then I\'d reply something like this:</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that there aren\'t going to be any new innovations or daring fashion statements in the halls of academia in Bangkok. White shirts and dark blue shirts are still in, for the 53rd straight year. There are some variations on this theme so join me as I make some observations on the various uncoordinated styles seen on the backs of teachers trawling the streets of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>\'Off the plane and into a school\'. The start of your teaching career. You must realise that first impressions count. So, why the hell don\'t you make a bit more of an effort? I didn\'t realise there was such a thing as fake leather shoes until I saw teachers from British American. I know newbies often have a lot to take in when they first arrive and, therefore, can\'t be blamed for thinking that decent shirt costs over 3,000 Baht each. This is the only explanation that I can think of for the fact that this classification of educators only possess one shirt which, although regularly aired, only comes into to contact with soap powder once a week.</p>\n<p>\'Thailand\'s for me\' After the initial acclimatisation period many language facilitators will decide to leave Thailand for greener (better paying) pastures. Those who decide to stay must now take the plunge and invest in some new threads. Hi-ho, hi-ho, it\'s off to Pratunam you go. Providing you\'re of average size then you can get hold of a half-decent outfit here. Fake Polo shirts abound and they\'ll last at least several months. You\'re a bit more savvy now, having had some bad experiences with your plastic Bata shoes. Sure they were cheap but, after a few weeks of wear and tear, you\'d been forced to alter their composition from 100% plastic to 60% plastic and 40% superglue. In addition you were getting a bit sick of having your socks meld to the inside of your shoes during hot weather.</p>\n<p>Another accessory that gets the heave-ho is the ubiquitous carrier bag. Until now you deemed it perfectly acceptable to carry textbooks in a translucent Tops supermarket bag. \"No-one will ever know I\'m a teacher. They\'ll assume I\'m an expat who\'s just been shopping\", you misguidedly think. Face facts, it\'s now time to invest in a briefcase. You head up to Central to check out the luggage department, you cast your eye over the veritable baggage buffet laid out in front of you.</p>\n<p>A brushed aluminium executive attache case for \'today\'s jet-setting manager on the move\' catches your eye. Then, reality, in the form of the price tag, rears its ugly head. 5,500 Baht!!! \"Excuse me\" your head turns to the pile of fabric wannabe briefcases. You know the kind, the ones carried by low ranking Thai office workers and are barely large enough to hold half a dozen sheets of A4. \"How much are they?\" \"350 baht.\" Sold. You walk out promising yourself that when you get a pay rise you\'ll be back for the brushed aluminuim beauty.</p>\n<p>\'The sharp dressed man\'. Someone who makes a bit of an effort. You\'ve been in town a while and know the importance of having either a maid or girlfriend who can iron well. Bonus style points are scored in both the co-ordination and pleat/crease stakes.</p>\n<p>At this stage in the evolution from teacher to fully fledged expat, attitudes towards farangs wearing shorts also change from \"Good idea when it\'s 35C\" to \"Bloody tourists\". Also noticeable is the lack of fake designer gear. Shirts are usually bought from department stores, albeit plucked from the 40-60% of f bargain bin. In some, extreme, cases a disgusting, paisley Jim Thompson tie is thrown into the mix. \"A present from a student\", you proudly quip when the words \'waste of money\' are bandied around the teachers room by colleagues. Let\'s hope they believe you and that you weren\'t really stupid enough to blow 700 Baht on a tie.</p>\n<p>Next week . . . Out and proud.

Here are my answers.','<p>\n<p><strong>1. Where did you move to and when?</strong></p>\n<p>I moved to from Thailand to China in August 2009.</p>\n<p><strong>2. How long did you work in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>Five years, from 2004 to 2009. I did take a six-month break in 2008 though.</p>\n<p><strong>3. What was your main reason for moving?</strong></p>\n<p>Difficult to pinpoint really. I guess I was fed up with the place and needed a new challenge. Although paperwork was done for me, jumping immigration rules still remained a hassle. Although my fellow teachers and I really tried hard to make lessons effective and interesting, not many students tried hard or became proficient in English. At times, the lack of qualified, enthusiastic teachers or applicants was somewhat demotivating as well. Often teachers in Thailand are merely foreign entertainers or even zookeepers.</p>\n<p><strong>4. What are the advantages of working where you are now compared to Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>As I am in a similar position (head teacher in a private language school) as I was in Thailand, there aren\'t many differences for me personally. Teachers in China usually work fairly regular hours. There aren\'t many that work seven days a week or teach 50 periods each week (and then drop dead). Standard 40-hour weeks with 20 to 25 teaching hours seem the norm. Salaries are relatively high in big cities - slightly higher than Thailand - but can be rather low in rural areas (like in the LOS). Most teaching position offer free accommodation or a housing allowance. Most expats fall in the category &lsquo;Normal\', although some could be labelled &lsquo;Hippie-ish\' or &lsquo;Slightly odd\'. There are definitely much fewer dubious characters and washouts than in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>5. What do you miss about life in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>No that much. The food, maybe. Not really the food itself, but the omnipresence and availability of it. Chinese food is great, but there aren\'t nearly as many food courts and street stalls as in the Land of Smiles. <br />The toilets, for sure. Although China has come a long way and is in many respects more western than Thailand, they don\'t seem to be able to get those right. Smelly public squat toilets still prevail in the Middle Kingdom.<br />Some rays of warm sunshine in winter probably completes the list.</p>\n<p>Things I don\'t miss include the stifling heat, the narrow pavements, the air and noise pollution, the &lsquo;kreng jai\' and &lsquo;mai pen rai\' attitudes, the airheads in the classroom and the dual pricing. It gets a bit chilly in winter here, but walking remains a joy. Wide pavements are everywhere and oven-like temperatures are rare. There is some air pollution of course, but where I live it\'s definitely not as bad as Bangkok. The Chinese I\'ve met so far are quite open and speak their mind; many also seem to enjoy learning English more and try harder than Thais. Travelling and prices for tourist attractions are much higher than in Thailand, but at least everyone pays the same price.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Would you advise a new teacher to seek work in Thailand or where you are now?</strong></p>\n<p>Either country would do for newbies. As the average level of English in both Thailand and China is still pretty low, new teachers needn\'t worry about explaining the use of the third conditional or the present perfect continuous. They\'ll mainly teach conversation lessons. By the way, local Chinese teachers seem to be fairly skilled at grammar, like their Thai colleagues.<br />Classroom sizes are similar to Thailand: small classes in private language centres and international schools and super-sized classes in government schools (30 to 60+ students).</p>\n<p>Whereas Thailand is a slightly easier country to live and get around in (especially when you\'re fresh off the boat), China is a bit more challenging because of the language barrier. Chinese restaurants (except those in the high-end bracket) often have menus in Chinese only and staff are rarely fluent in English. Getting settled in, renting a flat and arranging visas needs to be done with the help of a local.</p>\n<p><strong>7. Any plans to return to Thailand one day?</strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t have any plans or intention to return to Thailand in the near future, but my motto remains \"Never say never\".</p>\n<p><strong>8. Anything else you\'d like to add?</strong></p>\n<p>Never take anything for granted. Never stop learning. Don\'t wait to travel the world until you\'re retired (What if you drop dead at 60?). Practice makes perfect. Don\'t let your teaching techniques become rusty. Keep an open mind. Think Darwin and evolve. Adapt yourself to local customs. Don\'t whinge or complain excessively. Listen and learn from negative feedback and constructive criticism.

More than ever before.</p>\n<p>Western \"civilization\", with its double-digit unemployment and the threat of a double-dip recession, is now relying on Asian and Middle-Eastern countries to bail them out. Whether it is the once great United States of America borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars from China to fund its wars, or itinerant EFL teachers going to Thailand, Japan, and South Korea to fund their social or sexual perversions, the Eastern nations now have us Westerners by the ping-pong balls. And they\'re not about to let go anytime soon.</p>\n<p>This past July I accepted a job teaching English at a university in Saudi Arabia. I was to teach Saudi males in their 20\'s and was excited about that opportunity. The tax-free salary of around $3,500 U.S. a month along with a rent-free apartment, return airfare, and long paid holidays didn\'t hurt either. But the real benefit for me was the fact that I would not be bothered by all those pesky Saudi women. Anybody who knows me knows what a babe magnet I am. Even with my burger-belly, high-blood pressure, high cholesterol, and an occasional bout of the gout which has me hobbling for two or three days at a time. After spending time in Thailand and the Philippines, where a 50 year old fat man like myself can\'t even walk to McDonald\'s without being propositioned by a pack of 20 year old vixens, it would have been nice to just live in another country and concentrate on teaching.</p>\n<p>I say \"would have been nice\" because when I told my family about my Saudi Arabia plans, they went berserk. I was in Thailand at the time of my decision to go to Saudi Arabia when I was sent article after article and email after email from my father and sisters detailing accounts of beheadings, rape, and torture. Yes, I thought after reading them, but at least they don\'t pimp their daughters to old fat foreigners like in Thailand and the Philippines. Saudi women are not even allowed to drive cars or vote. Every once in a while a dozen or so Muslims get an uncontrollable urge to fly airplanes into skyscrappers or blow themselves up in a fruit market, but at least I could walk around Riyadh without hearing, \"Hey, sexy man! I go wit youuu!\" Ah, Saudi Arabia. Sounds like paradise.</p>\n<p>\"But you\'re a Jew\", my family kept saying. \"We\'re Jewish. They\'ll kill you. We all know how much these people hate Jews. I\'ll never be able to sleep\", my father kept saying. \"Never.\"</p>\n<p>Yes I know how much these people hate Jews. And Christians. And Americans. And Westerners. And.... everybody. These people hate everybody. My people hate everybody. Everybody hates everybody. That\'s the world we live in. Always has been that way. Always will be that way. Nothing I can do about it. Except maybe.... stay home. Maybe I\'ll lock myself in a room and watch FOX News. Forever. Just me and FOX News. So I emailed Saudi Arabia and cancelled. I want my father to sleep. He\'s 75 now, so he needs all the sleep he can get. I don\'t want my family to worry. I lost my mother last year to complications from multiple sclerosis, so my father and two sisters are all I have left.</p>\n<p>Over the years some friends have shared their family\'s concerns with me over their decision to go to certain countries. \"China! What? Yur goin\' tu China? What the hell fur? Teach English! Huh? Don\'t they eat monkeys over there? Don\'t they sleep with chickens? I hear they eat their young. Throw their baby girls in the river. China! Holy Jumpin\' Jesus! You can\'t teach English to commies.\"</p>\n<p>What amazes me about people who say stuff like this is that they are not all wrong. Their prejudices and outlandish statements are based on fear. And FOX News, which is also based a lot on fear. I have spent the last 12 years of my life travelling and teaching in Asia. About 30 countries. I stopped counting a while ago. I have lived in about a half a dozen Asian countries for six months or longer. Nothing to brag about. It just happened. But what blows my mind is that regardless of all the travelling I have done, (or maybe because of it), I know no more about the world than someone who has never left Kansas.</p>\n<p>It amazes me that 79 year old Mabel and her 81 year old husband Harvey, who have never left their lovely town in Kansas, except once a year to visit their daughter Gladys in New Jersey come Thanksgiving, can just about nail it when it comes to the dangers of this world. It has taken me 12 years to know what Mabel and Harvey have always known: That people suck; that this world is scum; that human societies have hardly progressed since the 12th century; that most people, if given half a chance, will rip your kidneys out through your nostrils if you dare refuse them a dollar. That Mabel and Harvey can spend their days knitting and watching FOX News and know just as much about the world as your average EFL teacher, who has spent 12 years travelling and living in different countries, is a testament to barbarians everywhere who sleep with chickens and eat their young.</p>\n<p>\"Yer goin\' where? Saudi Arabia? Huh!?! What the hell fur? Teach English? I hear they kill their daughters if they look at a White man. They cut off people\'s heads over there. And they have sex with camels. You\'ll never survive.\"</p>\n<p>I survived Korea. I survived Thailand. I survived China. I survived everywhere I went. I\'ve had good years and I\'ve had bad years. I\'ve made money and I\'ve lost money. I can survive the House of Saud. I can survive Africa. Ah, Africa. I recently saw an ad on Dave\'s ESL Cafe about an interesting teaching position in Rwanda. I think I\'ll apply.</p>\n<p>\"Yer goin\' where? Africa? Rwanda? Huh!?! What the hell fur? Teach English? I hear they sleep with monkeys and eat people. They all have AIDS, and the water is so dirty there that they have to drink their own urine. I know \'cause I watch FOX News.\"</p>\n<p>I watch FOX News too. In fact, that\'s just about all I\'ve been doing since returning to Montreal In September. Two and a half months of watching FOX News. And eating. And gaining weight. And looking for jobs, both here and overseas. I\'ve given up on returning to Korea only because I\'m not a 25 year old blonde with big boobs. I really hope that I don\'t have to go back to Korea. Judging by the ads on Dave\'s ESL Cafe, that seems to be what Koreans want. Edutainers. Twenty-five year olds. No experience needed. And it doesn\'t help receiving group rejection letters from schools. One school sent a group \"we have found our candidate\" email to 60 people and I was one of them. What a proud moment. With a flood of English teachers now in Asia, I\'m finally learning that it\'s much better to go to a country where there may not be that many of them.</p>\n<p>I\'ve also given up on returning to Thailand to teach. My tango with Tony the Tarantula and his ilk, written about in my September columns, proved that the Thais are just as dumb when it comes to the hiring practises of teachers. Besides, Thailand for a farang may be a great place to live, but it\'s even a better place to die. And I\'m not ready to die. Yet.</p>\n<p>Thing is, I want to experience two things before I die. One, I\'d like to live in a society that takes responsibility for protecting its own citizens. That includes mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles who do not pimp their daughters and sisters to fat foreign men like many do in Thailand and the Philippines. That\'s not nice. And two, I\'d like to live and teach in a society where finishing school means the difference between life and death. That means teaching in a school where the children are more than happy to be there. That means that the parents of these children are honoured that you are there teaching their children.</p>\n<p>So that leaves me with two distinct parts of the world: One, the Middle-East, specifically, Saudi Arabia or the UAE. And let\'s face it, the money is pretty good too. Or Africa, specifically, Rwanda, Kenya, or Ethiopia.</p>\n<p>So I\'m at home, in my father\'s condo, using his computer to look for teaching jobs overseas. He\'s in the kitchen now. Wait a minute. I think I hear his voice.</p>\n<p>DAD: You\'re not on the computer again looking for a job in Saudi Arabia, are you?<br />ME: No dad, just downloading some porn.<br />DAD: Okay, son.</p>\n<p>Since when did downloading porn become less of a taboo than teaching English in Saudi Arabia? The truth be known, I\'ve been talking through Skype with a Canadian EFL teacher in Riyadh. According to him, a foreigner in Saudi Arabia is far more likely to die of boredom than anything else. After class you can watch TV, (FOX News, I hope), go to an all male gym, or surf the Internet. And none of those pesky Southeast Asian women running after a fat sexy man like me. Except for, perhaps, Filipina nurses. Ah, Saudi Arabia. Where have you been all my life?</p>\n<p>DAD: You\'re not looking for teaching jobs in Saudi Arabia, are you?<br />ME: No no. Just watching some porn?<br />DAD: Good for you, son.</p>\n<p>The Great Recession has been a double-edge sword for teachers, school directors, and recruiters. It\'s been both a boon and a boondoggle. A blessing because unscrupulous recruiters and perverted school directors can now feed their perversion by demanding that foreign EFL teachers dance for what is now a lower salary, no respect, and little chance of advancement. Let\'s see you dance, you foreign monkey. And if you don\'t dance then there are 60 other fat dumb foreigners who will take your place. A boondoggle because EFL is even a bigger joke in the Great Recession. At the best of times EFL in Asia is a waste of time and money. Now, with the almost total collapse of Western economies, it is a perfect opportunity for Eastern savages to exact their revenge on Western foreigners for centuries of abuse, invasion, and colonialism.</p>\n<p>I have no idea where I will teach next, or if I\'ll ever go overseas again. I do know I\'d love to. It\'s what I\'ve been doing for over a decade. It\'s how I\'m trying to make a difference, an impact on people who need to learn something to progress into the 21st Century. (Okay, I just re-read the last sentence and can\'t believe I said that with a straight face.)</p>\n<p>If I listen closely enough, I can hear Mabel and Harvey laughing too. And warning me. Sitting in their charming farmhouse somewhere in Kansas knitting and watching FOX News. \"Don\'t go there!\", the scream. \"People eat human flesh over there. Bla-bla-bla. They\'ll kill you! Bla-bla-bla.\" The question is, am I listening? Another question is, how right are they? We all know the world is dangerous. Do we really think that Mabel and Harvey are joking? That they are just a stupid old couple going on and on about brown savages and yellow barbarians?

Of course students have to be able to recall verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc. You already know how to get them to retain new vocabulary. If you don\'t, check out my article on games for large unruly classes. If they can work for me in Thailand, then at least some of them should work for you in Thailand, too.</p>\n<p>Step 2: UNDERSTANDING. Once students are armed with this vocabulary, the grammatical stage can begin where they can ask and answer questions in set formats and also describe things and situations. Expand this step as much as you feel is necessary.</p>\n<p>Step 3: APPLYING. Give students some new vocabulary and have them create their own descriptions and questions &amp; answers of the subject. If they can do this, you\'re on the road to success. Don\'t worry if a lot of them falter at first. This is a big unsupported step but they can become accustomed to it given time. Brighter students will quickly realise the fun/value of free thinking and communication, i.e. &lsquo;Mr. Geoff smells!\', &lsquo;Mr. Geoff likes Barbie!\' &lsquo;Do you like Mr. Geoff?\'... &lsquo;No, I don\'t!\'.

Use that first year to teach students the basics of Q&amp;A and describing things].</p>\n<p>Step 4: ANALYSING. As an example, give students the ability to be able to describe and compare certain subjects. This can be anything, animals, food, music, household items, clothes, cartoons, etc. Then have them describe the subject, mentally and in writing. Why and how are things different? What does what? Why does something do something? Etc.</p>\n<p>Step 5: EVALUATING. Have students swap their Step 4 masterpieces with other students. Do they agree with each other? Give them the tools to be able to say why or why not. Keep this step lighthearted and don\'t turn it into a competition or a test. You should support and encourage weaker students across steps 4 and 5.</p>\n<p>Step 6: CREATING. Here you can have students collaborate in pairs or groups [make sure that skill levels are balanced though and don\'t let students self-select]. Have them produce another piece of work similar to Step 4 and then have them swap this amongst other pairs or groups. When universal agreement has been reached without correction or criticism you\'ve pretty much hit the nail on the head.</p>\n<p>Bringing basic Critical Thinking to your lesson plans and classroom can help your students to think more actively in English. Something that is almost impossible to achieve if all you do is work your way through the textbooks, most/all of which are in the third person and allow students very little scope to express themselves.</p>\n<p>Example, I struggle to see the use of being able to say what others are doing but not what you are doing, have done or intend to do. This must grate on many students nerves by the time they hit secondary but they have no way of telling you that.</p>\n<p>There are many reasons why a lot of Thais can understand you or at least get the gist of what you\'re saying but only respond with &lsquo;yes\' or &lsquo;no\' and this certainly has to be one of them.</p>\n<p>And this is probably one of the reasons why more than a few local English teachers don\'t stop you in the corridor for a quick chat or sit opposite you over lunch.</p>\n<p>Students have got to learn the art of creative, comparative and critical expression alongside the rote mechanics of the English curriculum.</p>\n<p>You shouldn\'t formally test students on their newly acquired Critical Thinking abilities. Let them go with the flow and see how you get on. Don\'t expect a 100% success rate because you won\'t get one. If you do, write a book on the subject and have someone like Wiley or Oxford publish it for you. ;o)</p>\n<p>As an experiment though, I would love to try this approach as a weekend class with a bunch of the brightest students. The results could be fascinating. My guess is that a bunch of stars would emerge, highly competent in conversational English.</p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about the subject itself, there are some good Critical Thinking primers and introductions available through Google. I prefer the plain English to the technical highbrow stuff myself.</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-30 18:57:24',1,'2009-11-30 18:57:24','2009-12-01 09:09:25'),(1079,36,'Playing to the gallery','playing-to-the-gallery','Successful class-management and learner success is dependant on having fun ','We are all familiar with the fact that every class has its own special chemistry. For obscure reasons some classes are friendly, others not; some bright and perky, others lackluster and heavy going. ','<p>One of the main things lacking in my MA Applied Linguistics course was a good discussion of the social psychology of individual language classes and the peculiar group dynamics that shapes a particular learning environment. For years I have been wanting to discover a good &lsquo;social psychology of language teaching\' on the bookshelves, but without any luck. One topic would be the role of fooling around and teaching through humour. What particular influences might that have on the n+1 ?\n<p>We are all familiar with the fact that every class has its own special chemistry. For obscure reasons some classes are friendly, others not; some bright and perky, others lackluster and heavy going. Each class has its own particular atmosphere - but how is this created? For created it must be-from the base ingredients of the preformed personalities of the participants plus the manner in which they subsequently interact with each other. Often two or three characters set the tone. The sub-text for this article is that you as the teacher are the main player who influences power-relations, distancing, bonding and the forming of roles, and that you too are a major player for the chemistry. One method of doing this is through the use of humour.</p>\n<h3>Creating positive atmosphere</h3>\n<p>Humour, as we all discover, promotes a positive atmosphere in the classroom and brings people together. It motivates learners to contribute orally and produces spontaneity - on-the-fly discourse far more genuine than the &lsquo;showcase discourse\' of textbook dialogues. The use of humour is stimulating but too much during teacher-talking-time can get you the reputation of not being serious about your job. Two or three humoristic asides in a one-hour period should be enough - and this may require circumspection (one should avoid politically sensitive topics such as royalty or gay rights).</p>\n<p>I once had a class in hysterics through my impersonations of a Thai soap opera (jilted teenage lover starts a crying jag and will not stop). My impressions of shampoo adverts, politicians, Thai policemen and even other teachers in the institution have all enlivened the classroom and made me friends and acquaintances eager to share my table at breaktime.</p>\n<p>One becomes part of an &lsquo;in crowd\'-one becomes &lsquo;cool\'. Yet the trick is not to manipulate and bask in performer\'s ego, but to bring the others into the interaction and get them exploring the language that the group has been studying. Getting your students to make their own comments on a humourous situation is a great way to stimulate further discussion where language errors are &lsquo;de-criminalised\' and communicative competence presides. It diminishes learner shyness when everyone in the room is laughing and having a good time; impromptu spin offs engender a variety of semantic fields and grammatical errors no longer threaten &lsquo;face\' when linguistic stumbling becomes a part of the act.</p>\n<h3>Using humour</h3>\n<p>So, the use of humour is a stimulus for enlivening the social dynamics in your language class and channeling mood towards expanded linguistic performance: social suspicions are assuaged, friendships are encouraged, risks are taken. From that basis we can return to the more sober aspects of language instruction - the language forms under consideration that week that have spin offs, ad lib, in a temporary jocular sideline - and later approach them analytically as a group with camaraderie and cohesion.</p>\n<p>Humour, then, belongs to the mood of a class and disposes the participants towards other attitudes and behaviours that promote both group cohesion and didactic process. Along with timidity, social distance, boredom, alienation, hostility, aloofness ... or, contrariwise, boldness, social engagement, interest, association, equanimity - all positive qualities that can describe the personality of a class, humour will have its sway. The main point here is that teaching is not just a didactic activity - for the language classroom is also a social occasion. Students not only go along to learn English but also to have fun, make friends and enjoy each other\'s company. Your contribution as a humorous performer will stimulate much towards those ends and earn you popularity, as well as adding impetus to a language topic.</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-30 19:00:26',1,'2009-11-30 19:00:26','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(1081,31,'There\'s someone in the house!','theres-someone-in-the-house','When things go bump in the night.','I thought I would share the story of a recent break in, at my house, in an effort to show the fine police work that our boys in brown are doing and to let you know that hope in the criminal justice system of Thailand is alive and well','<p>I thought I would share the story of a recent break in, at my house, in an effort to show the fine police work that our boys in brown are doing and to let you know that hope in the criminal justice system of Thailand is alive and well. About two weeks ago my family and I were asleep. I usually put foam earplugs in because my neighbors sometimes like to have all night drinking binges to the soundtrack of Carabao and Loso. Don\'t get me wrong, I LOVE Carabao and Loso, just not while I am trying to sleep. So, at 3:30, my wife wakes me up, screaming \"There are thieves in the house!\" I pulled out my earplugs, grabbed my baseball bat and K-Bar and waited just inside our bedroom door, hunkered down, ready like Chuck Norris in a really bad Chuck Norris flick. (Are there ANY good Chuck Norris flicks?)\n<p>Apparently my sister in law and niece had heard noises coming from our home office, which is across from their bedroom. Sometimes I work late, but I leave the lights on. There were no lights on, so they became suspicious. They peeked under the bedroom door and saw light from flash lights. So my sister in law slowly opened up the door and saw two small, thin guys, dressed head to toe in black, trying to open my wife\'s desk drawer. She then closed the door, called the police, the guard station at the front of the village and my wife\'s cellular.</p>\n<p>As soon as they heard my wife scream they did a runner down the staircase, out the TV room\'s sliding glass door and over out back wall, which just happens to butt up against the jungle.</p>\n<p>So the police arrived. There was one man and he took a statement, telling us that a detective would be by around 7:30, as the detectives didn\'t come on until 7 am. OK, I thought, no problem.</p>\n<p>At 9:45 the detective and his driver/assistant arrived. They heard our story and nodded seriously. They asked to see if the thieves left fingerprints anywhere. I showed them:</p>\n<p>1) The laundry room doorknob, where they had first come in, by destroying the lock. It had <br />oily fingerprints all over it.<br />2) The desk drawer that they had jimmied open. It was made of hard, black plastic and had <br />fingerprints all over it.<br />3) The top of my wife\'s wooden desk, which had fingerprints all over it.<br />4) 8 drops of one of the thieves blood, which had dried on my den floor. Apparently one of <br />them had somehow been injured.<br />5) Two pairs of sandals that the thieves had left, in their haste, just over the property wall, in <br />the jungle, along with several packets of mosquito repellant, with oily fingerprints all over <br />them.</p>\n<p>They said \"Oh, we can\'t get fingerprints from any of those! We can only get fingerprints from glass!\" Oh...I thought. So either they are too lazy to do their job, they want a bribe just to do their job or both. Lovely. Not that one would EVER need to bribe any of them to simply do the bare minimum that their job requires of them, not here. Not on MY watch buddy! </p>\n<p>They then asked for some Q-Tips and a few plastic bags. They wet the Q-Tips with some water, swabbed the blood drops and assured me that they would \"send them downtown for DNA analysis\". My hopes were appropriately high...not.<br />I then asked them if they might like to collect the sandals and mosquito repellant, on the other side of the wall. Their reply was \"Not really, because we already have DNA, we can\'t get fingerprints from the packets and we\'ll get all muddy and dirty.\" So that was a useful visit. They gave me their cards, took all of our contact info and rode off into the morning sun to help others in distress, a shining example of Thailand\'s finest.</p>\n<p>So I just assumed that nothing would ever come of it. So imagine my surprise when, a few days later, I got a call from the Senior Inspector of the local police station. He told me \"There have been a few developments, can you come to see me?\" \"Why yes, Senior Inspector, I\'ll be right over\" I answered back in my best Beaver Cleaver imitation.</p>\n<p>Upon arriving at the local police station, I was feted with iced coffee, chicken sate and many wais and kind words of greeting. We talked about this and that for about 5 minutes, in proper Thai fashion. When he sat up and got serious, I was excited. I thought to myself, \"Lineup? DNA matches? Firing squad? Italian seafood buffet?\" I imagined busy lab techs at National Police Headquarters getting a DNA match and the local constabulary rushing off to collect hair samples from known local perps, shaking the trees of C.I.s and getting phone book confessions of whoever it was that perpetrated this heinous crime!</p>\n<p>The Senior Inspector smiled, opened up his desk drawer, and proceeded to pull out a brand spankin new pair of handcuffs, with a pair of keys and everything! The Senior Inspector assured me that \"We are doing everything that can possibly done to catch the thieves and I am confident that we will have them in no more than 3 or 4 more days! In the meantime, have a free pair of handcuffs from me. That way, if they come back, you can detain them and we will come and pick them up for you!\" <br />I thought that was mighty white of him, thanked him and went home. My wife likes the handcuffs, we have since bought a home security system and my confidence that Thailand\'s law enforcement is \"on the job\" has grown by leaps and bounds.</p>\n<p>So if you ever hear anyone bad mouthing the Thai boys in brown, don\'t you believe it! They are a perfect example of modern, dedicated police force, armed with the latest technology and techniques. You might even get a free pair of handcuffs if you\'re lucky!</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-15 19:14:40',1,'2009-11-15 19:14:40','2009-12-01 09:09:41'),(1083,53,'English teachers and other independent expatriates','english-teachers-and-other-independent-expatriates','Successfully working in a different cultural environment is a skill ','While digging through hundreds of articles, both academic and otherwise, while doing background research for a book on expatriates in Asia, I found most writers and researchers made four key assumptions about expatriates. ','<p>While digging through hundreds of articles, both academic and otherwise, while doing background research for a book on expatriates in Asia, I found most writers and researchers made four key assumptions about expatriates.\n<p>These are:<br />First: Expatriates were from developed countries going to manage overseas operations <br />Second: Expatriates were attached to organizations originating from their home countries<br />Third: Cultural training was a key component in preparation for a successful overseas assignment<br />Four: Working overseas was a series of challenges</p>\n<p>It is true there are many expatriates these assumptions apply to, what about the rest of us?</p>\n<p>These assumptions and the host of academic literature on expatriation seem to ignore the reality of tens of thousands of individuals who have gone off to foreign lands to teach English, run small businesses or otherwise live off the local economy. I thought back to when I first came to Southeast Asia to live over a decade ago and reflected on how these first two assumptions didn\'t apply to me at all. I was not connected to any organization in my home country, in fact I arrived in Bangkok without a job. My first job was at one of the famous three letter language schools (AUA) ,teaching English, where I had no managerial duties at all.</p>\n<p>It is believed English teachers and others who don\'t fit with these first two assumptions should also be classified as expatriates. I used the term independent expatriates to distinguish this group from the more classical view of an expatriate. It is felt studying the experiences of independent expatiates could help companies design policies for their overseas workforce.</p>\n<p>Hopefully, I will be able to address the first assumption in more detail in a future article, but this month I want to concentrate on assumptions three and four.</p>\n<p>Most English teachers and other independent expatriates arrive in a foreign destination without having had any formal cultural training as preparation. Does this imply independent expatriates are ill-prepared to begin working in a new cultural environment? Although it is almost universally advocated to send future expatriates to extensive cultural training programs before deploying, the empirical research does not appear to strongly support the idea these training programs significantly improve the performance of the expatriate and currently many companies are scaling back their pre-departure training programs for staff going overseas.</p>\n<p>It is felt one should not equate attending a formal cultural training program with pre-deployment preparation. Very few independent expatriates attend formal cultural training programs, although many English teachers do attend various teacher preparation courses. But the emphasis of these courses is on the technical aspects of teaching and not necessarily on preparation to work and live in a foreign culture. However, most independent expatriates do spend considerable time reading about their new homes and exchanging information with others who have experience working abroad, both in person and more and more these days through the internet. This informal and individualized preparation could in some ways be more effective that a one-size-fits-all approach one is more likely to find in a formal program.</p>\n<p>Successfully working in a different cultural environment is a skill that can be learned, but it is questioned if it is a skill that can be effectively taught. Culture is an abstract and intangible construct which each of us perceives differently. Brick laying, for example, is concerned with tangible pieces of equipment and tools that leave little room for differing interpretations, and therefore the techniques of brick laying can fairly easily be transferred for one person to another. However, a case could be made the intangible nature of culture and the differing perceptions of culture require some level of personal experience to become proficient in engaging in inter-cultural professional interactions.</p>\n<p>As there has been almost no research done on the professional lives of English teachers and other independent expatriates, it is impossible to do a statistical comparison, but from personal observation it does not appear independent expatriate have a harder time adapting to living abroad than do expatriates that have gone through formal training programs. It could be, the relatively lower salaries of English teachers and other independent expatriates do not allow individuals to spend all of their time in the company of other expatriates sealed off from the local population This forced connection may result in deeper understanding of the local culture As a former co-worker once said, there is nothing like riding the Bangkok buses to work everyday to get to know the Thais and help learn the language.</p>\n<p>The fourth assumption is that working abroad is difficult and challenging. While this may be true, it is the glass is half empty viewpoint. Working abroad with people from different cultural backgrounds is also a tremendous opportunity for personal growth and can be a great adventure if one wants it to be. If one only focuses on the challenges and problems of working in an international environment, one misses the excitement and learning opportunities that can take place everyday. Although wealth has steadily eluded me, I have never regretted choosing to become an independent expatriate.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?curTab=BIO&amp;id=&amp;parent_id=&amp;sku=&amp;isbn=9780415562027&amp;pc= \">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries<br /></a>and numerous articles in academic journals, academic conference papers and contributions in other books.</p>','','2009-10-31 20:16:17',1,'2009-10-31 20:16:17','2009-12-01 16:04:18'),(1084,53,'The power of expectations','the-power-of-expectations','Getting on with employers, colleagues and fitting into the system','Most old hands have heard countless tales of Western teachers having trouble with their Thai (or Korean, Cambodian, Malaysian or Japanese depending on where the teacher is currently working) bosses. Much of this may have to do with unrealistic expectations. ','<p>The Description of the World, also know as Adventures of Marco Polo or The Travels of Marco Polo, written around 1295, was the first exposure much of Western civilization had to information about the mysterious lands lying far to the east of Europe. While there is an ongoing debate among scholars and historians as to whether Marco Polo ever actually traveled to East Asia, whether Marco Polo was a real person or a fictional character, and whether the book credited to Marco Polo was written by a single person or was a composite of tales written by multiple authors, there is no debate over the impact the writings attributed to Marco Polo have had on Western perceptions of foreigners living and traveling in Asia.\n<p>The book is filled with improbable tales, and Marco, being a merchant eventually becomes an invaluable assistant to the world\'s most powerful emperor. For the story to be believable requires the reader to assume Marco was a remarkable individual and he was treated as special by the Chinese due to his cultural background. What if the roles were reversed, and we had heard a tale of a Chinese merchant who, in the 13th century, had traveled to Europe becoming an indispensable aid to the Pope. Would it be as credible?</p>\n<p>Literature showing the special place of Westerners in Asia was common throughout the colonial era. Joseph Conrad\'s Lord Jim is a classic example as it appears to the only notable thing Jim did to earn the title of \"Lord\" was to be born in Europe with Caucasian features. Rudyard Kipling\'s The Man Who Would Be King is another example as in the story two English loafers and ne\'er-do-wells head off to a far-off land where they become kings, at least temporarily. In addition, much of the non-fiction writings of Asia during the colonial era also expressed Western cultural superiority and dealt with subjects such as teaching the one-true religion and civilizing the natives, which has often been called the \"white man\'s burden\".</p>\n<p>Although the colonial era needed, the representation of Westerners coming to Asia and being affording high status based on nationality did not end. In the movie, The King and I, Anna Leonowens was portrayed as becoming an important advisor to King Mongkut even though she was only an English teacher. It would appear her only qualifications were her race and nationality. It should be added, Anna Leonowens always acknowledged her book, which the movie was based on, was a fictionalized account of her role and she was never an influential advisor as she was portrayed, this portrayal was made up to sell books, not to tell the true story. In more recent times, we have seen movies like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, where the hero falls out of the sky and then saves the day for the Indian villagers implying the locals were not brave or smart enough to do this themselves. And let us not forget Kickboxer, where Jean-Claude Van Damme comes to Thailand and saves the Asian damsel in distress, again implying the local lads lacked the courage and daring to protect themselves and their women from the bad guys.</p>\n<p>In addition, many of us who have been engaged in Western business education have been exposed to the notion the Western expatriate manager is expected to go off and manage and teach the \"natives\" when going abroad. In fact, the words \"expatriate\" and \"manager\" often seem to go together as if they were synomyns, yet little education is provided on how to work with individuals from different cultural backgrounds as opposed to managing them.</p>\n<p>The reader is probably wondering by now what this has to do with teaching in Thailand. While the out and out racism from the colonial era is no longer with us, there continues to be a subtle reinforcement of colonial ideas in the Western media and education which can lead to unrealistic expectations. When expectations are not met, dissatisfaction occurs.</p>\n<p>Most old hands have heard countless tales of Western teachers having trouble with their Thai (or Korean, Cambodian, Malaysian or Japanese depending on where the teacher is currently working) bosses. Much of this may have to do with unrealistic expectations. In general, English teachers are hired to teach English, not to manage the school or to develop curriculum. How often has a Western teacher with a degree in business or a technical field after taking a four-week English teaching course and having six months experience run into trouble when the teacher\'s attempts to completely change the entire Thai educational system are rebuffed by the Teacher\'s boss who most likely has both a graduate degree and years of experience in education within the Thai cultural context?</p>\n<p>The Western teacher often becomes dissatisfied with having a limited role at the school, which can lead to poor performance, high turnover, and often unpleasant working conditions for others. Often the teacher feels he or she is not respected as the unsolicited advice given often goes unheeded. Part of the problem may be the subconscious expectations Western teachers may bring with them when coming into Asian educational systems to teach.</p>\n<p>The world is changing, and the technological, educational and economic gaps between East and West are shrinking all the time. The most dynamic and fast growing economies in the world are here in Asia, and alongside this comes increasing Asian pride and confidence. Naturally with this growing pride and confidence comes less tolerance for what can be perceived as arrogant behavior on the part of Western teachers.</p>\n<p>I was once asked by the manager of a Thai institute of higher learning, \"Why are farangs so hard to work with.\" I found this an interesting question, and I think she had a point that some, but surely not all, Western teachers in Thailand can be difficult for Thais to work with (Just as some Thais can be difficult for Westerners to work with). After reflection and research I came to the conclusion it was partially due to the \"Colonial Paradigm\" that those of us from Western countries were raised with.</p>\n<p>This is not a defense of the Thai, or any other educational, system. However, the average English teacher will neither change Thai culture nor the Thai educational system single-handed. But each teacher does have control over how to handle his or her own personal situation. More realistic expectation of the role of an English teacher and of local co-workers may go a long way to creating more satisfaction with work and life in Thailand. Instead of thinking of Thai co-workers as natives to be taught, Western teachers should think of their Thai colleagues as being intelligent professionals who also have lessons to teach that are worth learning.</p>\n<p>Being aware of this bias based on culture background can help each and every one of us working internationally become more satisfied and successful in our chosen careers.</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/shopping_cart/products/product_detail.asp?curTab=BIO&amp;id=&amp;parent_id=&amp;sku=&amp;isbn=9780415562027&amp;pc= \">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries<br /></a>and numerous articles in academic journals, academic conference papers and contributions in other books.</p>\n</p>','','2009-11-30 20:22:49',1,'2009-11-30 20:22:49','2009-12-01 16:04:50'),(1095,52,'December 2009','december-2009','Keep up to date with Thailand\'s TEFL course provider news','If you\'re looking to do a teacher training course in Thailand, we have all the news on promotions, early bird discounts, university accredited courses, training plus guaranteed job packages, etc.','<p>Steve, from the popular Chichester College <a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/tesol_tefl_tesl_certificate_full_time/index.html\">TESOL Course in Bangkok</a>, has written an excellent blog entry entitled, \"<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/blogs/how_much_thai_do_i_need_to_be_able_to_speak.html\">How much Thai do I need to be able to speak</a>?\".

We can all manage fairly happily when there\'s no more coffee powder in the jar or the school is down to its last three sheets of toilet paper, but I\'ve seen teachers sink to their knees and weep at the sight of the dreaded \'out of order\' sign, hastily scribbled on a piece of A4 and stuck to the rogue machine by some heartless admin department pen-pusher.\n<p>My love-hate affair with all things photocopied began way back in the early 90s when I joined the Sukhumwit branch of a well-known language school. One or two of the teachers started to get ideas above their station and thought it might be a good idea to spice up their lessons with a few photocopied handouts. Noises were made in the direction of the school director - a Japanese gentleman whose iron-clad grip on the school purse-strings was legendary - and under the weight of teacher pressure, he reluctantly agreed to go out a buy a photocopier.</p>\n<p>Armed with 10,000 baht and an understandable loyalty towards Japanese brands, he came back with the tackiest-looking photocopier that money could buy and about 7,000 baht in change. He ordered the teachers to gather around for a demonstration and we all made approving noises as the machine coughed and spluttered and spewed out five copies in the amount of time it takes to get married and raise a couple of kids. \"It\'s the cheaper end of the market but it\'ll do the job\" he announced triumphantly. He was no salesman but he sure got the first part right.</p>\n<p>With any school photocopier, you have to have a system. Otherwise, heaven forbid, you would have every teacher wanting to make photocopies and injecting new levels of interest into their lesson plans. The Japanese director came up with a system of allowing teachers to make just twenty photocopies on any given day. That\'s not twenty copies each - but twenty copies for the total number of staff combined. It worked out at something like 1.74 copies per day per teacher. Call me a visionary but I could see that the system was flawed from the start. One or two of the teachers put on a brave face and utilized the machine, while most of us just drifted away and carried on with business as usual. In the end it didn\'t matter - the photocopier conked out after several months and the manager was too tight to get a replacement.</p>\n<p>Just as bad as the schools who dabble in the lower end of the photocopier market are the institutes who insist on keeping the same machine year after year - even when the repairmen are drawing lots and praying they\'re not the ones to get your call-out. I worked for a school in the mid 90\'s that had the XYZ-3480-ABC Fujitsu Xerox machine. This was a machine right on the cutting edge of photocopier technology - at least it was in 1974 when it was originally purchased from the maker\'s catalogue and had the physical dimensions of Dr Who\'s tardis. For those of you who don\'t know the TV series Dr Who, then the tardis was similar in size to a public telephone box.</p>\n<p>And this school, rather than splash out 80,000 baht on a new modern machine, would call out an endless stream of technicians who stood around scratching their heads while the machine puffed out smoke at twenty second intervals. In the five years I worked there, I saw the machine kicked, punched and swore at (by the teachers not the technicians) I saw paper jam, doors fall off and drawers fail to open. It drank toner fluid like Guinness on St Patrick\'s Day and when Sandra Fairfax had finished photocopying fifty mock TOEFL tests, it folded its arms, went into a strop and \'said bollocks to the lot of ya\'. When it had had enough, no amount of fist-banging and cursing could coax it around to ten more faded copies of exercise six from Betty Azar\'s Fundamentals of English Grammar.</p>\n<p>If a member of the administration department was ever feeling a little downtrodden or undervalued, then the photocopier provided an ideal way for her to get even.</p>\n</p>','','2009-12-13 23:00:53',1,'2009-12-13 23:00:53','2009-12-15 13:01:54'),(1128,21,'Making your resume count','making-your-resume-count','How to get the best from your ajarn on-line resume','If schools want to contact you about a vacant position and the e-mail bounces back, the teacher hirers won\'t make a note of it and contact you on another day.

I wanted to get an idea of things through the employers\' eyes. With that in mind, could I give out a bit of advice as to where I think some teachers and jobseekers might be going wrong and how to put yourself one step ahead of the game?</p>\n<p><strong>Are you a native speaker?</strong></p>\n<p>I mean are you truly a native speaker? When I look at some of the resumes, they are littered with basic grammatical errors that no native speaker would realistically make? Certainly not a native English speaker who\'s looking for a job teaching English. Also be honest about what your native language is or you\'ll end up wasting people\'s time - including your own.</p>\n<p><strong>Clear out your inbox</strong></p>\n<p>If schools want to contact you about a vacant position and the e-mail bounces back, teacher hirers won\'t make a note of it and contact you on another day. They\'ll move on to the next person and you\'ll be instantly forgotten. Make sure to tidy out your inbox and leave yourself room for new e-mails. Employers are guilty of not clearing out their inbox as well, but I\'ve told them till I\'m blue in the face and it hasn\'t made a great deal of difference I\'m afraid.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Send a cover letter!</strong></p>\n<p>One thing that drives many employers mad is when an applicant simply clicks the \'send resume\' button on their ajarn resume and the e-mail arrives without any kind of cover letter.</p>\n<p>Schools and employers&nbsp;<em>always</em>&nbsp;prefer a teacher who has gone to the trouble of writing a cover letter over an applicant that has just clicked the \'send resume\' button and hoped for the best.</p>\n<p>No one\'s asking you to write a long cover letter when you send your resume from the ajarn database, but a few paragraphs telling the employer where you saw their job ad and why you would be suitable for the position will do your job prospects no harm at all.</p>\n<p><strong>Employee Requirements</strong></p>\n<p>The final section of the on-line resume is titled \'employee requirements\'. The \'employee requirements\' section is the section where you tell employers what you are looking for in a job.</p>\n<p>What is the minimum salary you require?&nbsp;<br />Are you willing to work weekends or not?&nbsp;<br />Do you want health insurance? (of course you do)&nbsp;<br />What is the minimum length of contract you\'re looking for?&nbsp;<br />Would you like the school to help you with accommodation if at all possible?</p>\n<p>It\'s no good an employer looking at your resume and then calling you up with an offer of a 40K job when you know yourself you won\'t work for less than fifty.</p>\n<p><strong>First Appearances are everything</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/help_and_guides/olr2.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"170\" />As anyone who has spent time in Thailand will tell you - appearance is everything.

Top work Mitch!</p>\n<p>So on the topic of photographs, what are the most common errors?</p>\n<p>1) Make sure it\'s a photo of you - and just you! A photo of you standing between your brother and your granddad at a wedding reception only makes me wonder whose resume I\'m about to look at?</p>\n<p>2) You know the photo of you sitting on Pattaya Beach in skimpy shorts next to a table full of empty beer bottles? Save it for your Facebook page.</p>\n<p>3) Don\'t post a photo so small that it looks like you\'re viewing it down the wrong end of a telescope. Postage stamp size photos mean one thing to an employer - you\'re no good with computers!</p>\n<p>4) Photos shouldn\'t be provocative.

Yes sir, she was going to run a finger down all those banner ads on the ajarn.com homepage and hit the mean streets in search of suitable employment. <br />\"Yeah what\'s so special about that?\" I remarked. <br />\"Well\" said Kathy, \"I\'ve got a bachelor\'s degree but I\'m still waiting for my TEFL certificate. I\'m also quite fussy about the kind of teaching work I want to do. I refuse to do weekends and there\'s no way I\'m teaching kids. Come to think of it - working evenings doesn\'t appeal to me that much either. Would you like me to send you a blow-by-blow account of how I faired?\"<br />I thought about it for a second. Probably less. Kathy, I\'m all over this story like a rash.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Hi. My name\'s Kathy Willis and I\'m from the American Midwest. Now in my early thirties, I\'ve spent the last two years living and working in the North of Thailand. Khon Kaen to be exact. Alas, working mainly for the peace corps and then one or two US-Thailand joint ventures had left me virtually broke. As much as I hated the idea, it was time to head for the big bad city and seek a proper teacher\'s wage. Thirty thousand? forty thousand? - financial luxury compared to the fifteen to twenty thousand I\'d been scraping by on over the previous 24 months. Oh the joy of being able to afford a latte in Starbucks. Oh the joy of seeing a Starbucks.</p>\n<p>So here I go. A professional-looking briefcase, a tidy sheaf of well-photocopied resumes, a neatly-pressed business suit made by a man in a turban, and a list of schools and addresses gleaned from websites linked to the ajarn.com homepage. The only thing worrying me a tad was my list of personal requirements - strictly no kids (I won\'t teach children at any price), positively no weekends (weekends are for shopping and socializing) and definitely no evenings (I hate that whole getting home late thing and cooking meals at midnight) Oh....and I\'m still waiting for my TEFL certificate.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Don\'t ask me why but a well-known school at Victory Monument was the first school on my list (as they are on many teachers\' I guess). Summoned to an interview at the Victory Monument headquarters (sadly not with the legendary Mr Michael), I stood on that crazy network of bridges that links the four corners of \'Anusawaree\' and thankfully spotted the Siam Computer logo. Just like they said in the adverts, the school was a five-minute walk from the BTS.</p>\n<p>I was truly blown away by the honesty of the Siam Computer interviewer. He told me that Siam had numerous positions with Thai secondary schools but the turnover rate for teaching staff was incredible. I would repeat the figure here but you wouldn\'t believe me anyway, so what\'s the point. Even though I\'d had considerable experience of working \'in the sticks\' the interviewer said I would truly hate it out there. \"Most teachers don\'t last more than three months\" he said.</p>\n<p>I asked if there was internal work available at any of the branches. There was, but it meant working six days a week, from two in the afternoon until ten at night. Who studies English at ten \'o\' clock at night for fuck\'s sake? Also, most if not all of the students would be in the 7-14 age bracket. Noisy, uncooperative and moody were three adjectives that sprang to mind. And for all this I would be paid the princely sum of 32,000 baht a month. I thought of the journey home each night on the BTS. Lessons finish at ten so it might be 10.15 by the time you leave. Five minutes to the BTS, purchase ticket, walk up stairs, stand on platform, train arrives - it\'s almost 10.30. You\'d be arriving home at gone 11pm clutching your little plastic bag of \'khaw man khai\' and your eyes like piss-holes in the snow. I didn\'t fancy doing that one day a week - let alone six!</p>\n<p>And so to AUA, The American University of something or other. This is what I think is referred to as a speculative job interview - i.e I was just walking past and decided nothing ventured, nothing gained. Besides, everyone has to interview with AUA once in their life. Credit where it\'s due but gone are the days when AUA took in any old waif and stray (if that was ever the case). The interviewer (nearest bloke available) insisted that without a full-time TEFL certificate (120 hours of classroom study and 8 hours of observed teaching practice) I was wasting my time coming to AUA. All positions now required a BA plus a recognized TEFL certificate. He repeated it three times in fact. He then spent thirty minutes trying to smooth-talk me into taking the AUA TEFL course, which it goes without saying, is also acceptable for teaching jobs at AUA.</p>\n<p>A small independent school in Siam Square was advertising on ajarn.com for \'corporate teachers at top rates\'. Having amassed over fifteen years of customer service training and experience in a multi-national corporate environment, you\'ll forgive me for being \'quietly confident\'</p>\n<p>I eventually found the school (it wasn\'t small, it was tiny) and was greeted by four Thai receptionists with their heads bobbing up and down into blue plastic lunch bowls and the sickly smell of stale tobacco. It seemed an age before one of them took pity on me but through a mouthful of wheat-noodles and coriander, she managed to direct me into a room even smaller than the reception. It was a little bit like \'Alice in Wonderland\'.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;After a few minutes, the proprietor, head teacher and marketing manager all showed up in the form of one man - and what a piece of work he was. He took up half the afternoon with stories of why he was the most respected man in the Bangkok TEFL industry, and just when I was wondering if I could survive a jump from a second floor window, he told me that his foreign employees earn more than any other teachers in the city. So would I be interested in any test preparation courses or writing classes? No I wouldn\'t. I could have stayed and argued the toss about the distinct absence of corporate jobs at top rates of pay but the smell of tobacco and the general griminess of the surroundings was about to make me gag.</p>\n<p>English First has a nice modern office in Siam Square, just around the corner from MBK shopping center. I decided to head here next. I had no appointment but at least I\'d get a feel for the place and an idea of what they offered. The very professional Thai desk staff gave me a smiling welcome. I couldn\'t help feel they were somehow used to desperate farangs dropping by looking for teaching work (not that I was in the desperate category just yet) They told me about the standard full-time EF contract, which was basically 24 contact hours a week at 300 baht an hour. My back-of-the-napkin calculations got that to a spectacularly average 35K a month. I asked about the possibilities of part-time work but was told that EF did not supply documentation or work permits to part-time staff. Then the strangest thing happened. Two of the Thai staff became involved in a whispered but obviously crucial conversation. After a period, the older girl turned to me and asked if I would consider doing a class that afternoon.</p>\n<p>\"Oh you want me to do a demo lesson\" I said<br />\"Actually no\" replied the Thai girl, \"we have what we call (and you\'re going to like this) an immediate emergency opening\"<br />It actually translates as \'the teacher we hired last week has not turned up because he\'s pissed, stoned, homeless or a combination of all three, and his students are sitting upstairs waiting for him\'<br />It must have been like a gift from God when I walked in to English First on that hot Wednesday afternoon. I was foreign. I had two legs and two arms. I was a teacher. I was available. Except I wasn\'t. I had a friend to meet at five and difficult though it was to resist the lure of 450 baht for 90 minute class, I did resist.</p>\n<p>Wall Street on Silom Road were the first people to say that they didn\'t care about a TEFL certificate. I had a degree and I had plenty of corporate experience - that was more than enough to satisfy the interviewer. He offered me 35,000 baht a month for 22 contact hours a week (not radically different to English First\'s contract) and they were willing to \'work with me\' until I obtained my teaching certificate. The words \'work with you\' were said in rather hushed tones, a bit reminiscent of two art thieves standing outside the Louvre and discussing the day\'s activities ahead. I left Wall Street not actually accepting the offer but not refusing it either. I wanted to leave my options open as we career girls like to say.</p>\n<p>I took a welcome break from trawling the private language schools and journeyed to the Dusit suburb of Bangkok for an interview with the local Rajabhat university. The job on offer was in their new language and cultural center and carried a salary of 32,000 baht a month - very decent by Rajabhat standards.</p>\n<p>I\'d been asked on the phone to prepare a thirty minute demo lesson for four students. When I asked the Rajabhat spokeswoman about the levels of the students, I was told that they were \'office staff\'. Thinking that the woman on the other end of the phone had either misunderstood me or was remarkably dim, I repeated the question. \"What level are the four students?\" <br />\"They are people from the office\" she replied. At least I had my answer. She was dim.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t stay up half the night preparing my demo lesson but I would like to think my \'comparison and contrast of Thai and American Holidays\' would get nods of approval from any TEFL buff or academic slap-head. I arrived at the college thirty minutes early, I was shown into the demo lesson room, and what followed was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life.</p>\n<p>My four \'students\' shuffled into the room with all the enthusiasm of a turkey on Christmas Eve and they were followed by both the director and manager of the center who would act as the observers. The room they had chosen was in fact a language lab, so my four students sat in individual cubicles with partitions between them. Imagine a shooting gallery but deathly quiet. I started to prattle on about Guy Fawkes Day, Songkran and Loy Krathong and did the best I could when one of your students is advanced, two are pre-intermediate and one is an absolute beginner.</p>\n<p>After the demo was over, the four students scurried out of the room with barely a glance in my direction. I wondered if the four of them got put into little metal closets marked \'no personality - use only in emergencies\' The two observers (the center manager and director) shook my hand, thanked me for coming and told me they wouldn\'t be offering me a job. When I asked them why they told me that they had seen another demo lesson that morning - and it had been better than mine. I was speechless. I don\'t really know why but I just was.</p>\n<p>And so to ECC in Siam Square. I\'m back on the private language school trail. The lady who I assumed in charge of recruitment offered me 30,000 baht a month for 115 contact hours and still managed to keep a straight face. What\'s more the vast majority of the 115 contact hours would be spent teaching tiny adults. When she wasn\'t trying to sell me a place on the ECC CELTA course, she was banging on about how stupid the Thais were. If this wasn\'t enough she was also one of those immensely irritating multi-taskers. Our brief interview must have been interrupted at least half a dozen times by staff wanting to know which drawer the sugar spoon was kept in and on each occasion Miss Multi-tasker 2006 would get sucked into some tedious exchange. I couldn\'t wait to leave.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t have very high expectations where Inlingua, Silom Road was concerned. We had exchanged several emails prior to the interview but all the emails had bordered on terse and unfriendly. The interview itself went little better and I was in and out within quarter of an hour. In time-honored fashion I was told that I would be contacted if a suitable vacancy arose. Needless to say I\'m still waiting, so I\'ve filed the interview under \'waste of a clean blouse\'</p>\n<p>On the sky-train journey back to my apartment or rather standing on a windswept platform looking rather sorry for myself, I was approached by a teacher from Webster University in Hua Hin. He was in Bangkok for a few days apparently visiting his Thai girlfriend. He asked if I was a teacher (was it really that obvious?) and after confessing that I was in the middle of a job hunt, he gave me some advice.</p>\n<p>\'You\'ll be in great demand as a kid\'s teacher because schools really want female teachers - it\'s a sort of \'mother figure\' ideology. However you\'ve got no chance of getting a job teaching adults. It\'s a man\'s domain. The females that enroll on these courses aren\'t interested in studying English. They\'re just looking for a farang husband!\'</p>\n<p>Is this the kind of guy I might one day be sharing a teacher\'s room with?</p>\n<p>To finish off let me mention several schools where I didn\'t even get as far as the interview stage. Berlitz I never bothered with because so many teachers told me that this institute can never get you a work permit. This is because many moons ago the then Berlitz director pissed someone off at the Ministry of Education and the MOE has never forgotten it. No doubt one of the readers out there will put the record straight.</p>\n<p>I called Vektor English after seeing their ad on ajarn.com and after being passed from pillar to post and talking to everyone except the office cat, a Thai lady told me that they weren\'t looking for female teachers. I thought about calling them again, putting on a deep voice and asking to speak to a hiring manager but I didn\'t. I couldn\'t be arsed. Ditto RMIT.</p>\n<p>My best chance of a job had to come with KMUTT (King Mongkut Institute of Technology) I already had both feet in the door thanks to being very good friends with two Thai teachers there. All I had to do cometh the day of the interview was turn up looking like a teacher. Two weeks later I\'m still waiting to hear from them. Even my two Thai friends can\'t tell me what\'s happened and isn\'t it strange how their mobile phones are now constantly switched off.</p>\n<p>I did eventually land a decent job but that\'s another story.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/lipstick.gif','2006-10-04 00:19:00',1,'2006-10-04 00:19:00','2010-01-20 10:10:01');

In addition the corporate job market seems to have hit rock bottom. What do you teachers think?','<p>I\'ve been teaching for over two years now in Hatyai and I am Filipino. It\'s true that most schools hire Filipinos because they can really save a lot compared if they will hire teachers from the West. Most of the teachers that I know graduated from top universities in the Philippines and I think we deserve better salaries compared to what we are getting now. Worse, we are not only paid lower than we deserve but we are treated unfairly just because we are not native speakers.</p>\n<p>I think schools still prefer native English speakers over us but there are fewer qualified applicants due to the new rules. Some schools also claim that they are cost-cutting and hiring non-native speakers is a better alternative. The situation is getting worse each year and I don\'t think I\'ll be able to stay for another year. I don\'t really care about how much money I earn here but the way school administrators treat us is far below what I can take.<br /><strong>Sam</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I somewhat unwisely, although voluntarily left my job of 3.5 years in February (09). Unlike years past, I haven\'t received any direct inquires recently stemming from Ajarn.com (if you discount China and Indo-China). Of the potential employers I have solicited (too numerous to mention) I\'ve received three requests for interviews and from that offered two positions. Now being a degree holder with experience and no facial tattoos I\'m surprised the ratio isn\'t much higher. The number of positions advertised is not down. I believe either the MOE is taking itself too seriously or schools have resolved themselves to the \'revolving door of backpackers\' and non-native speaking crowd due to waning admissions (i.e. profits). <br /><strong>Dazed and Confused</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>I actually found the teaching world to open up to me substantially this time around. I had been teaching in Pattaya for only 3 months and I have the standard BA and TEFL. I was offered around 7 interviews and about 4 different jobs all paying in the 35000 range, after only a few months teaching. I found the response on ajarn to be good and the money was an improvement over Pattaya. I think a lot of the reason is that I\'m a young (25) year old male who keeps getting told I\'m handsome (I\'ll never believe it) Many schools are looking for a clean presentable falang to hold up to the parents more than a hard nosed experienced educator like they would want in the west. I have to say that flossy and moonbeam backpacking across the country are far less likely to be hired than a young person in business attire with a clean accent (i\'m Canadian). So for me anyway it hasn\'t been doom and gloom but I feel bad for those who don\'t fit the stereotypical falang appearance (despite the fact that I\'m half East Indian).<br /><strong>Josh</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Yup, I\'d say it\'s a bit of a dead duck until some hard evidence crops up on the forum to say otherwise. You may have seen one of my threads [on the ajarn forum] where I said that people are holding on to jobs for longer because they\'ve got little to return home to and that there\'s an influx of freshly TEFLed backpackers who are escaping the recession back home. I\'ve had three TEFL trainers in T\'land tell me now that student figures are up. I think that a lot of these people are going straight to source [the nearest schools] and taking the first job that they\'re offered. Have I seen any evidence of this? Not in Isaan, but most of the jobs up here never make it to the job sites and newsletters.</p>\n<p>Another forum poster did say that his hours had been cut somewhat, but this topic hasn\'t appeared elsewhere and he did say that it only affected 100% govt. schools that followed the MoE curriculum.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Thanks to my agent screwing things up with my old school downtown school, I have unexpectedly been back on the job market for the last month. I am considered by the Thais to be a good, experienced teacher, (I\'ve been teaching here on and off for the last 2 years) but I have had zero responses through ajarn.com and only a couple of other offers through established connections. The alleged flood of well-qualified Filipinos (as someone claimed) into an already tight market seems to have increased the number of boxes necessary to be ticked before schools will call (me anyway) - unless you look young and are willing to work really cheap. Like every year actually, only far more so. Hopefully, a lot of the rookies and tourists will leave soon. I know things are usually crazy busy this month, but I\'m sure everyone would appreciate it if a recruiter could provide some perspective on current trends. But perhaps they\'re all out hustling making pots of money as usual. <br /><strong>Margin Al</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Truth hurts.

The same employer reduced a native English speaker\'s salary, due to the fact they possessed Asian features because his mother and father were both from Vietnam. This person was born and raised in the United States, and is highly qualified and experienced to teach.

In December 2008 I had an overnight hospital bill, which was less than 5,000 baht, and it was never reimbursed by a widely respected and prestigious employer. I decided to finish the semester and resign on matters of principle. The same employer reduced a native English speaker\'s salary, due to the fact he possessed Asian features since his parents were both from Vietnam. This person was born and raised in the United States, and is highly qualified and experienced to teach. The school said \"you are one of us\", as the reason why he should earn less pay than the native speakers of English, who had Caucasian features.</p>\n<p>Finally, I recently had a contract being negotiated with a highly respected private school near Victory Monument. After signing the contract, the recruiting agency backed out of the agreement because they could not guarantee smaller class size, week days only, visa, and boarding on campus until second semester. All of which was revealed on Sunday 10 May 2009. The contract was signed by all parties on 16 March 2009.</p>\n</p>\n<p>\"There is always something better and or worse, but getting to the truth is...\" and, anyone who\'s lived and worked in Thailand can finish that statement however they think is appropriate.<br /><strong>Joey</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Phil, there has been a dramatic tightening of the market for English teachers in the past four months. Having looked at the job postings frequently over the past year from Jan 2008 - Jan 2009, I have seen a noticeable drop in the number of openings plus a change in requirements unrelated to qualifications. Unfortunately, I was not able to apply for a job at the time due to recovery from a knee surgery and fracture.\n<p>I believe the situation is that there may be a shortage of teachers who fit the demographic of what the schools in Bangkok want.... even though I have been told that I have more credentials and qualifications then 90% of the people teaching in Thailand - I have a real bachelor\'s and master\'s degree from top colleges, an adult ed teaching credential backed by teaching experience, experience teaching ESL in a foreign country (Mexico), two years experience as an ESL teacher (and Business English teacher) teaching non-native college level students in US, a 120-hr TEFL certificate, secondary teaching experience in the US, and twenty years business management experience-- apparently this experience means nothing when applying for jobs here.</p>\n<p>On interviews I am asked if I have an education degree. I feel like asking them, can you read? If that is what you wanted, then why did you call me in for an interview?</p>\n<p>In addition I have great technical skills having worked in the software industry (and also have several industry computer certifications). BUT this is apparently the deal breaker--I AM A 55 YEAR OLD WHITE WOMAN. Several positions on ajarn and elsewhere have specifically asked for a male, under 50 to teach business classes (as if there were no Thai women CEOs). Several Thai universities have posted positions for lecturers up to age 45. Yes, age discrimination apparently is rampant here in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I took a TEFL course just to get a one-year non-immigrant B visa, I listed with the Ajarn resume service and was offered (insulted with) 3 jobs at 28-30,000 baht with no benefits, which I politely turned down. Younger people in my class with no degrees and absolutely no teaching experience received job offers of 34 - 40,000 baht. After applying for over thirty jobs ranging from mathayom to university level, I have had four extensive interviews in Bangkok besides the initial low-ball job offers extended (without anything more than a 5-minute phone interview).</p>\n</p>\n<p>I was offered two jobs; one fell through because the person I was to replace did not leave [because his new job offer fell through and they took him back] and at the second the school did not get the expected funding-- both offers were retracted. One job supposedly is still pending. They seem to be waiting for the red and yellow shirts to reconcile I think. I am tired of hearing Thailand needs qualified teachers. They may need them but the reality is they appear to only want to hire qualified entertainers under age 40 to babysit their students from my job hunting experience. I am eagerly looking towards Vietnam and Korea where the pay is higher and the students appear to be more interested in actually learning. The recruiters I have spoken with have said as long as you are under 60 it\'s not a problem. The money and time I invested in Thai language classes won\'t be wasted I guess. If I decide to come back for a vacation, once I have moved on, I\'ll be able to speak the language.<br /><strong>Barb</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>I must admit my situation is a lot different to most teachers. I quit my job last year as Head of Teaching Department at a Bangkok language school because the people running it had never even seen an English lesson, let alone taught one. It was a case of too much money and no sense whatsoever. The owner\'s Thai wife ran the business into the ground and now it is being sold.</p>\n<p>I live just outside Bangkok and have a fully equipped classroom in my house and I also teach online. I was doing ok before this credit crunch, but now I am getting busier because students don\'t want to travel to Bangkok and pay 1,000 Baht plus per period for English classes, which does not include petrol and motorway expenses. So I charge them less and keep all the money myself (apart from taxes). It\'s a win-win situation.<br /><strong>Paul</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>My feeling about the \"Gloomy Outlook\" for foreign teachers in Thailand is: It depends who you talk to and what their modus operandi is regarding employment. Some foreign teachers have a lousy work ethic and are usually the ones shouting the loudest about the gloomy outlook for jobs since they can\'t seem to hold down a decent position at the school or agency where they work. You reap what you sow, you know (I\'m a poet and don\'t know it )\n<p>As with any foreigner who has been in the TEFL field for a while, I have a small network of friends and acquaintances who are teachers and share their feedback on such matters. The feedback so far has been relatively positive here in Southern Thailand. I don\'t think there is a shortage of jobs so much as there are fewer schools actively advertising their need for native English speakers. One of the reasons for this, of course, is too many replies from \"non-native speakers,\" specifically Filipinos.</p>\n<p>For a while I was struggling to find work simply because the school where I had been working for the past four years decided not to renew their contract with the agency I had been working for because the agency changed ownership and the new Thai owners have run the agency into the ground. But, I was eventually hired by the school where I\'d worked for the last four years, simply because they didn\'t want to lose me. Now, I\'m bringing in a salary that I never thought possible while working for the agency. I think the picture is far rosier, Phil, than what you are painting at least down here in the South. In the short time I was looking for another job, I found there really was no shortage of jobs but rather a shortage of institutions advertising for foreign teachers.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I think there will always be plenty of job opportunities in Thailand for foreign teachers, but not so for teaching agencies. Many schools here in the south are fed up with having to pay exorbitant amounts of money to teaching agencies who merely provide a warm body and who don\'t follow true TEFL principles. I also feel that if you are a foreign teacher, enjoy teaching in Thailand, have a good work ethic and remain dedicated to your work, you will definitely reap what you sow.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>There are not too many new teaching positions here in the Chiangrai/Chiangmai area. Some of the native English speaking teachers have left because of the frustration of getting a teaching license, others because the school has told them they don\'t have the budget to keep them. I know several teachers that have gone to other countries to work where they are paid better and have fewer hassles with visas, work permits and teachers license.\n<p>Having lived and worked in the Kingdom for six years I do have a number of Thai teacher friends. Several of them have confided to me that their schools do have the money in their budgets for native English speakers but the school administration decided to hire Filipino teachers for less money. When asked if the surplus money would be used for something else or go into someone\'s pocket they just smiled, shrugged their shoulders and looked away.</p>\n<p>I also know several dozen Filipino teachers here. They are all dedicated, hard working people. Yet there are some whose English skills are poor. Obviously this does not benefit the students they teach. This brings to mind the question of why they were hired in the first place. I think all who read this know the answer to that.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Does the global economic downturn effect teachers here? To a certain extent it does. Is corrupt school administrators pocketing more a factor? Without a doubt. Perhaps you agree with this, perhaps not. <br /><strong>JS</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>It does seem that the so-called global economic crisis and the local political crises have hit the teaching profession in Thailand. I worked for over a year for a very well-known language school in central Bangkok. Feeling it was time for a change and tired of being indoors in air con from 9 am to 9 pm, I took a six month contract in Vientiane, Laos. When I left Bangkok, I received strong encouragement from the management to return whenever I was ready.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Contract over, I wrote to the school in February and was told enrollment was way down and it was not the best time to return. A month later, I decided to return to Bangkok and arranged an interview with management. They told me that the enrollment had dropped significantly and they could offer me only a few classes a week -- not enough to survive in the big city. Further, the branch -- which had been the best earner for the company -- had lost money the previous month for the first time since opening. Things had gotten so bad, I was told, that the company was considering closing 3 of the lowest earning branches. From several other teachers, I learned that the Corporate Training Department in particular and Business English classes in general were really feeling the pinch as companies were not renewing or starting new contracts for employee training. Sadly, while teacher friends were happy to see me on a personal level, it seems that if I were to return, I would be \"stealing\" classes from them as there were not enough students enrolled.</p>\n<p>I also interviewed for corporate and Business English teaching with another reputable company but was told that despite the fact that I was a top candidate, they would not be able to offer a visa or work permit until I had completed three months of teaching. I was being asked to teach illegally for three months for only a few hours a week of work and no long-term guarantee. Further, I have read several places that any work outside the physical location where the teacher is registered is illegal. Corporate classes often require the teacher to go to the business -- and this is apparently illegal.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, in the past few months, I have visited several villages where local people have requested that I stay and teach their communities. At 100 Baht per student per hour, they could organize classes of kids, teens, and adults sufficient to provide a comfortable living. One village was very rural, located near Nong Khai; the other was a housing development comprised mostly of employees of factories in Rayong province.</p>\n<p>It seems the interest in English courses is there among Thais and though there is less money available, they still are willing to invest in their future. The Rayong community felt that a typical family could afford to put up 2000 baht per month for classes.</p>\n</p>\n<p>The legal issues of visas, work permits, teaching certifications, etc. inhibit teachers from taking on freelance work. Until I can work out a legal sponsor for the paperwork, I have reluctantly had to decline all this potentially lucrative and interesting work.<br /><strong>Tev</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>I believe it is getting tougher for teachers who do not have any qualifications. With the large influx of Filipino teachers coming to Thailand now, unless you can stand out above them, you will be overlooked. In saying that, if you are qualified you have a wealth of choices. For example, the university I teach at has just hired a Filipino at 30,000 a month because there were no suitable native speaker applicants. It\'s not that jobs are drying up, but schools are pickier when choosing staff. It really was only a matter of time.<br /><strong>Aaron</strong></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>What I\'d be interested to know is if the number of applicants for each job has actually increased? I found a new job this year and I went for two interviews. Both jobs had been posted on Ajarn and they had both been repeat posts. When I went for the interviews I got the feeling that both schools had been finding it difficult to find suitably qualified native speakers. They had stacks of applications from Filipino teachers but very few from native speakers. And a lot of the applicants from native speakers emailed their CV but never showed for an interview. Both schools are running EPs and wanted all native speakers but both schools currently have a 50-50 split between native speakers and Filipino teachers.</p>\n<p>Perhaps with all that has happened here plus the introduction of the Thai culture course and teachers licence is hitting recruitment. It seems to me that teachers who are already established here aren\'t changing schools as often as they used to and new teachers coming in are a bit thin on the ground.<br /><strong>Andy</strong></p>\n<hr />','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/nojobs.gif','2009-12-14 00:26:18',1,'2009-12-14 00:26:18','2009-12-15 15:03:19'),(1141,32,'How to get them talking','how-to-get-them-talking','How can teachers get their students to interact in a way that\'s beneficial?','If students don\'t learn to interact with their teacher and other students in English during P1 to 4 then they\'ll find themselves struggling to do so by the time that they enroll at a private language centre because they\'re preparing for university or want a better job.','<p>Need inspiration for an Ajarn article?

English is a compulsory subject and the government provides a budget for foreigners to teach it. It\'s up to the individual to find the school that best suits them.</p>\n<p>There are however shortfalls in studying it. Most students have to sit in a class with over 50 other students. Lessons are limited to 50 minutes. Written and verbal expression is quashed by the need to pass easy-to-mark multiple choice and gap-fill tests and exams.</p>\n<p>Can you hold a meaningful conversation with most/all of your top scorers? Very unlikely.</p>\n<p>Can you hold a short conversation with most/all of your top scorers?

Because they grasp the structure of English quickly and have the best chance of one day studying overseas or making money from their ability. Better still, both.</p>\n<p>All other students that appear on our radar can only be helped to pass tests and exams. There are simply too many students and not enough hours in the day.

','<p>Most \"experts\" advocate the use of cross-cultural training as valuable preparation for taking on an overseas assignment. However, few individuals before taking on the role of English teacher in a foreign land go through any type of formal training program.\n<p>Many teachers and educators living abroad often downplay the importance of the idea of \"book-learning\" when it comes to culture. To digress, it is surprising so many individuals engaged in professions in education show a disdain for formal learning and academic sources in their own processes of learning.</p>\n<p>Studying culture is no substitute for the practical experience of working and living abroad, however having some mental frameworks in which to analysis experiences could be helpful in adjusting to working and living in a new cultural environment.</p>\n<p>To use a language learning analogy, using academic classifications created in cultural studies can provide individuals with structures in which to use to make sense of new experiences in much the same way the knowledge of grammar provides a framework which allows a language learner to make sense of new words and phrases.</p>\n<p>The most used classifications used to study national cultures over the past 30 years has been Geert Hofstede\'s dimensions of culture. More can be found <a href=\"http://www.geert-hofstede.com\">here</a>. While there has been criticism of the methodology used in the research in creating the dimensions and Hofestede himself acknowledges the limitations of these dimensions, they have stood the test of time and continue to be the basis for much cross-cultural education and research.</p>\n<p>Hostedes\'s original four dimensions of culture are 1) power distance, which refers to how much a society accepts differences in power; 2) individualism which refers to societies that have fairly loose ties between individuals as opposed to collectivist societies where there is more focus on group membership; 3) masculinity, which refers to societies that are more competitive and aggressive as opposed to feminine societies where cooperation and caring are of added importance; and 4) uncertainty avoidance, which refers to how comfortable societies are with ambiguity and uncertainty.</p>\n<p>One sees a huge difference in Hofstede\'s scores on individualism between Thailand and the Anglo-American cultures where native English speaking teachers mostly come from. The USA, UK and Australia are on the extreme end of the individualism scale while Thailand is much more of a collectivist society. This difference may require some adjustments on the part of incoming foreign teachers. For example, the main focus of many native English teachers is likely to be on his or her individual class, while for the Thai administrators and colleagues the focus may be more on the school as a collective. Also, it may be noticed students have less of a desire to stand out from the crowd and do something original individually in comparison with students from \"back home.\" Instead there are strong pressures for more group conformity.</p>\n<p>One also notices a distinct difference in power distance scores between Thailand and Western countries. Thai society in general is much more accepting of differences in power and is much less egalitarian than are Western societies. On the plus side, teachers in Thailand may enjoy more obedience from students than is the norm in classrooms in Western societies. Also, it is less likely Thai students will openly contradict their teachers. But this difference can also lead to misunderstandings, especially with school officials. Western teachers may expect to be part of the decision making processes while Thai school officials may be less familiar and comfortable with egalitarian management concepts.</p>\n<p>Thailand is unique in Asia in having a very low score on the masculinity scale which would indicate Thais are far less competitive and aggressive than other Asian societies (However this is hard to believe when watching a Thai boxing match). This relative lack of aggressiveness and competitiveness (the mai bpen rai attitude) often is what attracts many foreigners to Thailand in the first place. However, in the classroom it can often be a source of frustration for a foreign teacher. Grades and scholastic achievement are often less important that enjoyment and harmony. A classic example is the common complaint of foreign teachers to what is considered the \"no-fail\" policy. In Western competitive values, students who achieve should be rewarded and those who do not should be punished. While in Thailand, there may be more emphasis on maintaining group harmony and less emphasis on the competitive nature of education, therefore there may be felt there is less of a need to fail students for lack of performance.</p>\n<p>It can also be seen that Thailand has a high score for uncertainty avoidance and therefore Thais may tend to avoid ambiguity, although in my own personal experience I often find Thais can be quite tolerant of ambiguity. However this trait of uncertainty avoidance may be evident in the fact that Thai students rarely like to take \"chances\" on assignments and prefer structured assignments. Western students, particularly at the university level, seem to often prefer general guidelines for assignments in which they have room for personal expression, while Thais (and other Asian students) often prefer to avoid uncertainty and prefer to have detailed instructions in order to ensure meeting the teacher/professor\'s expectations.</p>\n<p>An understanding of these four dimensions of culture may provide a starting point for foreign teachers in Thailand and other locations to think about teaching and working in a cross-cultural environment.</p>\n<p>There are a few problems that are inherent when studying culture. First, human nature seems to make it difficult to look at differences without being judgmental. Which is better, pizza or ice cream? Dumb question, right? It is felt asking which is better, Western or Thai culture, is just as much a dumb question. Western culture is like pizza and Thai culture is like ice cream, each very different from the other and both very enjoyable. It is recommended that accepting the cultural differences without being judgmental can assist teachers in helping their students more effectively as well as enjoying the experience to a greater extent.</p>\n<p>Another problem when studying culture is the tendency to over-generalize and stereotype others. Most individuals are aware of the great variations in their own culture but are less aware of the great variations in the cultures of others. When referring to Thai culture, one should keep in mind the attitudes and behaviors of Thais can be as varied as are the attitudes and behaviors of the British or Canadians.</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>and numerous articles in academic journals, academic conference papers and contributions in other books.</p>\n<p>Please <a href=\"mailto:scotta@loxinfo.co.th\">e-mail me</a> if you would like book discounts.&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2010-01-02 20:44:23',1,'2010-01-02 20:44:23','2010-01-04 11:11:24'),(1145,8,'Time flies','time-flies','What events changed the world in the last decade?','The 2004 tsunami that hit South and Southeast Asia, cyclone Nargis (2008) which battered Myanmar and hurricane Katrina (2005) that destroyed New Orleans are some of the most devastating natural disasters of the last decades. ','<p>Another year has come and gone. 2009 flew past for me, that\'s for sure. Contrary to last year, I\'m not going to dwell extensively on what happened in 2009. Although the world might still be in dire straits both economically and ecologically, it hasn\'t stopped turning or been invaded by aliens, fortunately.\n<p>As for events that changed the world during the last decade, I\'ll have a quick go. I guess 9/11 and the war on terror figure in the top 10, not to mention the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Come to think of it, global terrorism (remember London, Paris and Mumbai?) dominates the list to such an extent it\'s frightening.</p>\n<p>Nature unleashed its forces en masse as well. The 2004 tsunami that hit South and Southeast Asia, cyclone Nargis (2008) which battered Myanmar and hurricane Katrina (2005) that destroyed New Orleans are some of the most devastating natural disasters of the last decades. No to mention all the floods, typhoons and mudslides which brought misery and suffering to millions worldwide.</p>\n<p>Will terror and forces of nature bring our planet to its demise before climate change can do so? Who knows? Let\'s hope the leaders of our planet, together with the masses can find a way out of this quagmire before it\'s too late. Maybe we all should have a look at &lsquo;The Day The Earth Stood Still\', a sci-fi movie with Keany Reeves. By the way, stopping climate change isn\'t the only task that lies ahead. Reviving the global economy and keeping Earth safe at the same time is a gargantuan challenge indeed, but other dangers lurk around the corner.</p>\n<p>Religious fanaticism in all its possible forms needs to be urgently addressed worldwide as well. Although I am willing to accept if not understand that many need some kind of god in their lives to be able to cope with the fears and uncertainties of their daily existence and its &lsquo;aftermath\', I cannot tolerate religious nutters shoving their faith in other people\'s throats, no matter what kind of religion they practise.</p>\n<p>If it was up to me - and if I wasn\'t against most forms of censorship - I\'d probably ban all kinds of religion outright given the many massacres and tragedies they have caused over the centuries. Call me an infidel or antichrist, but to me gods are just as real as aliens, &lsquo;god particles\' (which the Large Hadron Collider might still discover), and winning Euromillions lottery tickets. I mean, if there really was a god, don\'t you think he\'d enjoy a stiff drink once in a while and let Mrs God, dressed in a summer skirt, drive him to a ball game instead of wasting his time in a temple/church/mosque/whatever preaching that putting on a party hat is sinful and pigs are inedible?</p>\n<p>Anyway, let\'s not dwell on what may irk the devout readers and see what the last decade brought us. The &lsquo;noughties\' gave us Facebook, Twitter, instant messaging and similar nonsense. I haven\'t adopted these technologies (yet?) as they seem the Ultimate waste of time. It\'s nice to have email and photo-sharing sites to keep in contact with the rest of the world, but being available 24/7 just seems too Big Brotherish to me.</p>\n<p>What will the next decade (tweens, twenteens, tennies or one-ders?) have in store? More technological gadgets I\'m sure. If not particularly useful they might boost the economy yet make younger students completely brain-dead. Will Google be the successor to Microsoft as the Evil Monopoly? Many predict that computing will be done entirely in the &lsquo;cloud\' soon, so let\'s hope this cyber-heaven won\'t be ruled by one company.</p>\n<p>Let\'s hope fashion sense and mindsets in some countries change so suicide vests can stop selling like hot cakes.

Why wouldn’t you want to know what your rights are under the law? ','<p>I have had many friends ask me recently about a teacher\'s rights under Thai Labor Law. So I thought it might be an interesting and useful article for some of you.</p>\n<p>Thai Labor Law is interestingly different in several ways, when compared with Labor Law in most English speaking countries.<br />First, Thai Labor Law has no rules or regulations concerning hiring processes. Is there \"affirmative action\"? (NO) Can an employer ask for a picture during the interview process? (YES) Can they discriminate? (NO) How does a person who feels discriminated against, in the hiring process, prove discrimination? (MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL LABR INSPECTOR OR SUE THEM)</p>\n<p>Second, there are currently nine different sets of legal code in Thai Labor Law that deal ONLY with termination of employment. I know of no other nation that has this many ways of protecting an employee against wrongful termination.</p>\n<p>So what does this mean for the teacher in Thailand? It means that schools can place ads like the ones we\'ve all seen, saying things like \"Only light skinned people need apply\", and other such racist things, because they have no fear of an affirmative action law suit. It also means that a teacher, who knows their rights under the law, can demand to be treated fairly by any employer who wishes to terminate them and (besides a lot of negative naysayers to the contrary) CAN sue and win against a Thai employer. I am an English language consultant to The Labor Courts and there are, on average 25 to 30 lawsuits per year where Non-Thai nationals sue a school in Thailand for wrongful termination. The plaintiff \"wins\" (i.e. receives a judgment for payment from the defendant) in about 75 to 80 percent of these cases.</p>\n<p>I have always been amazed by how little most foreigners and Thai people know about Thai Labor Law. Why wouldn\'t you want to know what your rights are under the law? If you are ignorant of your rights you can have them easily exploited and, often, unbeknown to yourself.</p>\n<p>I have also often been shocked by how often a potential foreign teacher hire does NOT read the entire employment contract before signing it. If you don\'t read every word of every sentence then it is your fault if you end up being taken advantage of! We don\'t live in a perfect world.</p>\n<p>I\'ll give you a bit of good, free advice. You don\'t need to consult an expensive labor lawyer, who speaks English, has an office on Sathorn Road and charges 2,000 Baht an hour. All you need to do is buy the following book. It will be the best 800 Baht you ever spend on legal issues.</p>\n<p>\"Labour Protection Act, B.E. 2541 (A.D. 1998) with Notifications, Ministerial Regulations and Royal Decrees\"<br />It is published by: Natee International Law Office Limited, 16th Floor, Alma Link Building, 25 Soi Chidlom, Ploenchit Road. (02) 253 - 5157 and (02) 253 - 5369 nilo@ksc15.th.com, <a href=\"http://www.nateelaw.com\">www.nateelaw.com</a> &nbsp; <br />It is on sale at all Asia Books outlets. If they don\'t have it, they can order it for you. <br />(By the way, for the cynics out there, I am NOT getting any money to plug this book. I just think it is a book which every foreigner working in Thailand should own!)</p>\n<p>On each left hand page, the law is printed in Thai. On each right hand page it is translated extremely well into English.<br />If you read this book, you will know more than 99 percent of everybody in Thailand does about Thai Labor Law, including Thai people! It has cleared up many questions and uncertainties for me since I bought it seven years ago. <br />Did you know, for example, that?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;1) Any school that hires you has the legal right to demand that you work 48 hours per week, not 40? (Page 8, Section 23, Paragraph 1) If they put it in the contract and you sign it, you are bound to it. Even if they DON\'T put it in the contract, they can ask you (in writing) to come in and work every Saturday, if they want to. That would be a \"lawful and equitable, work related request\", to quote the law. Even though it\'s not in the contract, it is each person\'s responsibility to know their own rights under the law. It is not the employer\'s responsibility to make sure their employees know the law and many employers I have dealt with hold their cards close to the vest. Now I don\'t know many teachers that would want to work in a school that tried to enforce this rule or many schools who even know about this rule, let alone want to try to get their teachers to come in every Saturday. But it\'s an interesting fact to know.</p>\n<p>2) You are entitled to a 6 day \"annual holiday\" once you have been working, continuously, for the same employer for no less than one year? If less than one year, on a pro rata basis. (Page 10, Section 30, Paragraph 1) Your employer is supposed to set the fixed dates of said leave, right in the employment contract. However, they can insert a clause asking you to request said leave days, in order to keep the dates unfixed, if they want to. Teachers who work in schools where there tend to be a lot of last minute, unplanned changes to the academic calendar would probably be asked by their employer to request specific dates themselves, instead of the dates being fixed. You and your employer can negotiate whether said leave days, if unused, are accumulative and do or do not \"roll over\" into the subsequent contract year.</p>\n<p>3) When your employer is calculating overtime pay for you, they must pay you one and a half times the basic hourly pay rate? (Page 16, Section 61, Paragraph 1) How do they calculate your basic hourly rate? If you\'re paid hourly, it\'s a no brainer. However, if you\'re paid a monthly salary your employer must calculate your daily rate at 30, whether there are really 28, 28, 30 or 31 days in the month for which they are calculating. (Page 18, Section 6, Paragraph 1) This includes days you do not work, like Saturday and Sunday. Once they have your daily rate calculated, they must count how many hours you work on a typical work day. This means the hours you are required to be on the work premises, not just the hours you teach. They cannot count lunch when they calculate. So, for example, a teacher with a base monthly salary of 45,000 Baht has a daily pay rate of 1,500 Baht. If they have to be at work, whether teaching or not, from 8 am until 4 pm, and we don\'t count lunch, they have 7 working hours a day. Their hourly pay rate would be 214 Baht. So an overtime hour would be 321 Baht.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;4) If you are part of management and are someone who \"has the authority and duty to act on behalf of the employer in relation to the terms of employment, the grant of gratuities, a reduction in basic pay or termination of employment\" that you have NO right to overtime pay. (Page 17, Section 65, Paragraph 2)</p>\n<p>5) If your employer terminates you for any reason NOT in Section 119 (we\'ll get to that section a few lines down) they still have to pay you for the 6 days of annual leave, assuming you\'ve been working for them for no less than one year.</p>\n<p>6) An employer can suspend you, at only half of your basic daily pay rate prior to suspension, if they wish to investigate an alleged transgression on your part. However, this right must be clearly enumerated in written form in your employment contract and/or any Employee Rules and Regulations forms or handbooks your employer may have you sign. They can only do this for a maximum of seven working days. (Page 32, Section 116, Paragraph 2)</p>\n<p>7) An employer can terminate a teacher\'s employment, and pay them NO severance pay if a teacher is guilty of...(Page 34, Section 119, Paragraphs 1 - 4)<br />a) Dishonest performance of his duties or the intentional commission of a criminal act against the employer<br />b) Intentionally causing loss to the employer<br />c) Performance of an act of negligence which results in severe loss to the employer<br />d) Violation of the employer\'s work rules or regulations or orders which are both lawful and equitable when the employer has already issued the employee with a prior written warning, except in a serious instance when the employer is not required to give a prior written warning. <br />e) Neglect of duties for three consecutive days, without reasonable cause, whether or not a work holiday intervenes. <br />Warnings are valid for one year from the date of the offense. So if an employer gives you JUST ONE written warning for being late to work, they can fire you the next time you are late to work, as long they give you the advance notice required in the contract. (Which we\'ll get to below.)</p>\n<p>8) Your employer must pay you at your place of employment, unless you have signed a document stating that you forego this privilege. (Page 16, Section 55, Paragraph 1) In employment contracts with teachers who work for me, I have a clause that states \"By signing this employment contract, you agree that employer does not have to pay your salary to you at your place of employment (for reasons of safety and security) and that you have no problem with them not doing so.\" Who wants to carry around hundreds of thousands of Baht, waiting to be held up? Not me! I transfer the salaries into their accounts. It\'s much safer and they can never claim that you did not pay them.</p>\n<p>The following information is not from the book, but from my lawyer.</p>\n<p>9) The required advance notice of termination that you and/or your employer are required to give each other is NOT 30 days. It is equal to the number of days in the salary pay cycle agreed upon between the two parties. Sometimes this is 30 days, sometimes not. For example, when I was a Head of Personnel at an international school, we had the 30 day advance notice clause, like almost every other organization. However, after having hired two teachers who turned out to be emotional nightmares after only a few weeks of employment, I asked my lawyer if there was anything I could do. He recommended that, during a new teacher\'s probationary period, we pay them every Friday. That would make their salary pay cycle once a week, or seven days. So, if a new teacher turned out to be too unstable, irresponsible, unprofessional, etc (and we saw this early on) we could give them just 7 days advance notice of termination of employment. In over seven year of hiring hundreds of people in different capacities I\'ve only had to use this clause 4 times. But I have been glad I had this option, to get rid of nutjobs quickly. Who wants them around for another 27 days? This works both ways. If you don\'t like the school or a certain coworker, you can give only 7 days notice to quit and then be able to go work somewhere else sooner. However, it must state this in the contract. If this is not discussed in the contract, a judge will look at pay stubs to see the frequency of salary payment.</p>\n<p>10) Some teachers operate under the (false) assumption that they can demand that their schools pay them, in cash, at the end of every work day. If you have no employment contract which states otherwise or if you are an hourly or daily employee, you can ask them to pay you, in cash, at the end of every work day. Whether or not they agree to do so is another issue entirely. However, if you are paid a monthly salary, you do not have this right. If you are paid a monthly salary but do not have an employment contract, the judge would look at evidence of you being paid to decide whether you are a monthly salaried employee or not. Even if you are an hourly or daily employee, and your employment contract states that you will be paid once a month, you do not have the right to ask to be paid daily.</p>\n<p>11) Since the Thai constitution expressly prohibits Non-Thai citizens from being Thai government employees, we are classified as \"Temporary Employees\" or อาตราจ้าง in Thai. As such, we fall under the sway of general labor law, NOT the rules and regulations for a Thai government teacher. Why is this important? For example, a person who is under general labor law (i.e. a foreign teacher) is entitled to 30 days of sick leave per year, unless they work in certain other professions, of which teaching is NOT one. I can\'t remember how many Thai public schools I have consulted for in which the Head of The Foreign Language Department has tried to tell their foreign teachers that they can ONLY take 12 sick days per term, or 24 per year, which is the guideline that Thai government teachers must go by. When I explain to them why this is untrue, many of them answer something like \"They are working in a government school, therefore they must follow the same rules and regulations as a government teacher. This is simply incorrect. However, if you take anything coming close to 24 sick days (let alone MORE than 24) in one year, you probably won\'t have a job the following year. The system tends towards a bit of self regulation.</p>\n<p>12) A good \"rule of thumb\" as to how many minutes late a teacher needs to be before a school should consider them to be late is 10 minutes. In my lawyers experience, 27 years as a labor lawyer, anything less than 10 minutes is usually not considered long enough by a judge. So if any employers reading this have any teachers who are chronically late, either change the contracts for next year or do up an addendum for the current contracts. If you need them to be present and ready to work at 8 am, have their work day start officially at 7:45 or 7:50. That way, assuming they\'re late again (which is probably a safe assumption) you\'ll be able to give then written warnings galore. I think it\'s pretty sad that there seem to be many foreign teachers in Thailand who like to come in late. I had one Australian teacher, at an international school I worked at, who would come in 10 or 15 minutes late almost every day. She would sneak through an empty field behind the school, climb over the fence and sneak through the back of the physical plant, smelling like a wildebeest in heat by the time she got to the classroom. I felt like a junior high school Principal, back home, on a hunt for skipping 7th graders who were \"going out back to smoke a joint\". Ridiculous!</p>\n<p>Well, that\'s all I can come up with for this month. Hope that some of you can use this info.

And they\'re clueless as to how to properly work with and integrate the foreign teaching population into the Korean educational system.</p>\n<p>Here\'s an idea. Why not train them better? Why not develop professional development programs and work together with the native English teachers that you have freely invited to your lovely country? Too logical for you, Mr. Kim? Too much responsibility for you to take, Miss Park? After all, it\'s easier and much more fun watching these foreign monkeys fall over themselves while you stand there and chuckle with delight. Right, Mrs. Lee?</p>\n<p>Short of counting on the clueless Koreans to do the right thing regarding the proper training of native English teachers, wouldn\'t it be nice if these native English teachers took a more proactive approach and developed the leadership necessary to succeed in the classroom, rather than wait for Moses Kim to decend from Mount Kimchi with stone tablets outlining the dos and donts on how to behave in Korea? Ya, right! And dogs should stop licking themselves. The thing is, there is enough blame to go around for the deplorable situation Korea, and most of Asia, finds itself in regarding the incompetence and bad behavior of its foreign teacher population.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;From a reader of the Korea Times\' article Native English Teachers to Undergo Evaluation.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>svt19 (124.254.151.171) 12-29-2009 23:30 <br />I am a NSET at my school. I wouldn\'t mind evaluations. The problem is, SMOE, my school, and my coworkers have no actual goals, expectations, criteria, curriculum, grading system, or anything of the sort in mind for my classes. What could they possibly evaluate me on? My competency at trying to educate and entertain students off of the top of my head with zero support?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Your co-teachers have no goals, expectations, criteria, and grading system for YOUR classes? Are you listening to yourself? Your co-teachers have classes of their own. And I doubt very seriously if YOU have goals, expectations, critera, and a grading system for THEIR classes. Again, they are YOUR classes. Be proactive. Be an educational leader. Become the teacher you have always wanted to be! This is your opportunity to determine your own value and significance.</p>\n<p>What could they (your Korean co-teachers) possibly evaluate you on? Well, how about this?</p>\n<p>Besides the obvious responsibilities of showing up on time and doing your best, your responsibilities as a teacher include, but are not limited to:</p>\n<p>1. Teaching your students how to become responsible people.<br />2. Instructing them in your particular field of expertise.<br />3. Teaching them to acquire good study habits.<br />4. Helping them cooperate with each other<br />5. Giving them the freedom, when necessary, to learn on their own<br />6. Guiding them through life\'s tough moments<br />7. Being available to your students during non-class hours.<br />8. Helping your students reach their full potential.<br />9. Attempting to make the teaching profession a better place for others.</p>\n<p>How\'s that for being proactive? How\'s that for attempting to determine your own worth and significance?</p>\n<p>This same person goes on to say,</p>\n<hr />\n<p>svt19 (124.254.151.171) 12-30-2009 00:17 <br />I, personally, am overqualified at my school. Most of my students cannot answer simple questions like \"what did you do on the weekend?\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Most of your students cannot answer the question \"What did you do on the weekend?\", and you consider yourself OVERqualified? Huh? Unless you have a Ph.D. and a Nobel Prize in Physics, you are not overqualified to teach Korean children, (or any children for that matter), how to speak English. Regardless of ones qualifications, teaching children is both an honor and a privilege. Most foreigners in Korea, (and many other countries for that matter), don\'t seem to understand that important fact. <br /><br />By the way, Korean, like most Asian languages, has no past tense. Korean students, like many of their Asian counterparts, don\'t learn to formulate past tense questions until middle-school. <br />And they certainly can\'t answer them until they are taught how. Here\'s an idea:<br /><br /><strong>TEACH THEM!!!!</strong><br /><br />That\'s what I did. I developed quality lessons of questions and answers based around different grammar points, and practiced this with the students. I even put these questions and answers in dialogue form, and had the students practice with each other. But never did I complain that my students \"cannot answer simple questions \'what did you do on the weekend?\'\" Those who cannnot answer \"simple\" questions have never been taught. That, my little foreign teacher friend, is exactly why you are there. And did I mention that it\'s a great way to be poractive and to determine your own value and significance?</p>\n<p>There is a cardinal rule in the teaching profession: \"Don\'t ask permission, ask forgiveness.\" I have met so many foreign teachers over the years in Asia. They seemed so lost and confused, and clueless as to what to do in the classroom. It was as if they were aimlessly walking around holding a sign which read, \"It\'s almost Monday morning. What will I do with all those kids?\" They were continually asking permission to do things; constantly afraid to take matters into their own hands and determine their own significance. Outside of my first year or two, I never did that.</p>\n<p>Those who know me know that I take charge from the moment I step into the classroom. It becomes my room and I am responsible. I\'ve never cared what others think about me or my teaching style and I never will. If I get a good evaluation, (and I\'ve had some good ones), that\'s fine. It doesn\'t change things and I still do what needs to be done. If I get a bad evaluation, (and I\'ve had some bad ones), that\'s fine. It doesn\'t change things and I still do what needs to be done. I know what needs to be done long before I step into the classroom and no evaluation, good or bad, is going to change that.</p>\n<p>I don\'t ask permission. And only sometimes do I ask forgiveness. I know my value as a teacher. I determine my significance by being responsible and dedicated. And you can put that on my evaluation.</p>','','2010-01-10 19:52:42',1,'2010-01-10 19:52:42','2018-04-15 03:03:18'),(1168,10,'Thank you for calling your ISP hotline','thank-you-for-calling-your-isp-hotline','My ISP\'s customer service guide to dealing with irate customers','After calling a well-known ISP\'s customer service number for the fifth time in a week, I was beginning to see a pattern develop with the responses. ','<p>About&nbsp;eight years ago, I briefly&nbsp;got to know&nbsp;a guy who came to Thailand to start a&nbsp;web-based import-export&nbsp;business. Within twelve months he called me to say that he\'d given up the business and&nbsp;was returning to The States. When I asked him why his&nbsp;venture had failed, he muttered the&nbsp;words I\'ve never ever forgotten and still chuckle at to this day.</p>\n<p>\"I can\'t get ahead in a country where the lines of communication are held together with chicken-wire and gecko spit\"</p>\n<p>Let\'s call the guy Dave shall we? Well Dave if you\'re reading this,&nbsp;it may come as some comfort to know that&nbsp;things haven\'t improved a great deal.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been lucky enough to get hold of the step-by-step guide that&nbsp;my ISP&nbsp;call center staff use when a foreigner phones them&nbsp;regarding a poor internet connection. These are the actual steps written on the piece of paper that&nbsp;the staff&nbsp;keep by the phone. It reads something like this,</p>\n<p>Dear valued call center staff member,</p>\n<p>During your daily shift, you are sure to recieve a number of calls from foreigners concerning poor or slow internet connections. These calls needn\'t cause you undue stress if you follow the basic steps below.</p>\n<p>1) Introduce yourself but make sure to say your name quickly so it\'s impossible to catch. This prevents the customer calling back later in the day and asking to speak to you again.</p>\n<p>2) Always ask the customer\'s name. It\'s far more difficult for the client to throw a wobbly when you put \'Khun Micheal\' at the end of every sentence. \"Sorry to keep you waiting&nbsp;on the phone for half an hour Khun Michael\" I mean who could possibly blow&nbsp;a gasket over that?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>3) Ask the caller to go through several connectivity speedtests on-line.&nbsp;Have them do a speedtest for Thailand and then chuck in one from Singapore for good measure.&nbsp;&nbsp;These speed-tests have absolutely no bearing on the problem, but&nbsp;always look impressive.</p>\n<p>4) Ask the caller which version of web browser they are using and also which router. Oh, and ask how many ports the router has. Again, it has nothing to do with the problem but not only does it sound impressive, it makes you sound like you really&nbsp;know what you\'re doing.</p>\n<p>5) The next step is crucial. Ask the caller if they\'ve installed the latest updates for their firewall and anti-virus software. This immediately gets rid of the technophobes, who will probably apologize for bothering you and collapse in a blubbering heap on the other end of the phone.</p>\n<p>6) Buy yourself a bit of time by telling the caller you are going to update their signal. The caller will have no idea what that means. Hell, we don\'t even know what it means either but put the customer on hold, return to your Soduko puzzle and imagine yourself in a large room&nbsp;full of wires, lights and high-pitched bleeps. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>7) If the caller isn\'t a technophobe, then by now you\'re probably holding the receiver six inches from your ear and listening to a torrent of abuse. Fear not - it\'s time to play your trump card. Yes - it\'s the \'broken cable at the bottom of the sea just off the coast of Taiwan\' gambit. Tell the caller that tropical storms and typhoons have lashed (and \'lashed\' is a good word) the coast of Taiwan and the undersea internet cable has been damaged. Ignore such comments as \"what a load of bollocks\" and tell the caller that right now - right at that very minute - teams of underwater divers are down deep in Davy Jones\' locker with a large tube of superglue. And of course - normal service will be resumed as soon as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. Wow! what about that? two bullshit throwaway corporate lines for the price of one.</p>\n<p>Beware - If the caller has a decent memory, he or she may remember the broken cable story from before. In which case, tell the caller that the expert team of underwater divers managed to fix&nbsp;the problem&nbsp;but the cable was later&nbsp;knocked out of whack by a myopic blue whale. Go on - use your imagination!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>8) If it\'s beginning to look like you\'re not going to shake off this customer easily, it\'s time for the \'package upgrade\' line.</p>\n<p>\"Khun Michael sir, I notice that you have the cheapo internet package. We only really recommend this package for surfing Thailand-based sites\".</p>\n<p>Wait until the&nbsp;caller calms down&nbsp;and then recommend to Khun Michael sir that he upgrades to something more expensive. Call it \'the professional expat package\'.&nbsp;Tell the caller that with this upgraded package, the caller can download torrent files until there\'s smoke coming out of the CPU. And he\'ll even be able to get the odd&nbsp;international website from time to time.</p>','','2010-01-08 00:24:01',1,'2010-01-08 00:24:01','2010-01-15 06:06:03'),(1171,52,'January 2010','january-20101','Find out what Thailand\'s TEFL course training providers are doing','We\'ve got all the latest on special offers, promotions and Thailand TEFL course news.','<p><strong>Text and Talk</strong> is now providing&nbsp;several benefits to TEFL course trainees.&nbsp;They are&nbsp;offering a 12-month Thai language course &ndash; and a 12-month Non-immigrant Education Visa &ndash;&nbsp;free of charge&nbsp;when you enroll.&nbsp;The participant&nbsp;pays only the nominal government visa fee.

Hopefully some of them you’ve never even thought about.','<p>I was surfing the internet at the weekend and happened upon one of those lists of &lsquo;ten things that drive you crazy about living in Bangkok\'. We\'ve all read these articles before. No Thailand expat discussion forum is complete without someone getting things off their chest. After all, these lists can be wonderful self-therapy for any writer.\n<p>You usually have a good idea though - even before you start reading - as to what the ten situations are going to be.</p>\n<p>I hate waitresses who stand and hover as soon as they give me the menu. It makes my blood boil when people try to get in an elevator before I\'ve had chance to get out and just end up blocking the door. Why don\'t motorists stop at zebra crossings? Sound familiar? Of course they do.</p>\n<p>But whereas most lists contain the same old tired topics, this particular writer had come at things from a different angle. He\'d really put his thinking cap on. My own personal favorite among his ten Bangkok &lsquo;hates\' was &lsquo;the unofficial bus-stop\'. You probably know how it works. The Bangkok bus company erects a shiny new bus-stop at the side of the road. However, the vast majority of Thai passengers have decided that they can\'t be arsed to walk to it. Perhaps the bus-stop is too far from the pedestrian bridge. Maybe it\'s positioned in direct sunlight. Whatever the reason, it\'s not a bus-stop the Thais want to use. So they don\'t. They form little straggly groups of pedestrians at a place that\'s far more convenient. The only person who stands at the officially designated bus-stop is YOU. And the only reason you do it is because you\'ve been raised by your parents to follow rules and regulations. But it comes as little comfort when the bus driver goes speeding past and comes to a screeching halt at the unofficial bus-stop fifty meters down the road. And as Thai passengers scramble aboard and head for home, you\'re left standing there with your thumb up your arse.</p>\n<p>Whatever - it made me laugh out loud and got me thinking. Here\'s a list of my own things that drive me crazy about living in Bangkok. Hopefully some of them you\'ve never even thought about.</p>\n<p><strong>Unofficial food testers</strong><br />Weekends often find me at the Tesco Lotus Superstore on Sri Nakarin Road. I didn\'t realize it until my wife pointed it out but shoppers will often stand at the fruit displays and &lsquo;test\' the merchandise. On Sunday I stood a few meters from a fine display of imported black grapes and watched mouth agape as a band of Tesco\'s loyal customers shoveled grapes down them without a care in the world. Look in any dictionary and you\'ll see there\'s a word for this kind of activity - and the word is &lsquo;stealing\'.</p>\n<p>I immediately thought of an old friend of mine in England - Jewish Mickey. Mickey had a market stall and sold a bit of fruit and veg. He was also quite big in women\'s underwear. Heaven forbid the customer who helped themselves to free samples at Mickey\'s market stall. He usually dealt with the situation by reaching for a machete-like object from behind the counter and telling the customer that if he caught them doing it again, he would cut their f***ing hands off. Never one to mince his words was Mickey.</p>\n<p>\"<strong>I\'m sorry he not here\"</strong><br />There seems to be an enormous amount of shame in admitting that someone has resigned from a company. Those of you who call Bangkok businesses on a regular basis will know instantly what I\'m driving at.</p>\n<p>\"Could I speak to Khun Arun please?\"</p>\n<p>\"I\'m sorry he not here\"</p>\n<p>You then have to go through a process of elimination. Is he coming back? Will he be back today? Is he in the toilet? Has he nipped out for a cigarette? Tell me - the last time you saw him - was he carrying a large suitcase?</p>\n<p>Thais will do anything to avoid telling you that the person you want to speak to has in fact left the company. The person on the other end of the phone knows full well that Khun Arun has joined a rival firm for an extra 500 baht a month. What\'s more he had a blazing row with the managing director on Friday afternoon and told him to stick the job where a monkey stuffs its nuts. She knows because she was there.</p>\n<p><strong>You need to go to your home branch</strong><br />The next moan is aimed squarely at Bangkok\'s banks. And why not? - banks are always fair game.</p>\n<p>Many moons ago, I opened a bank account with one of Bangkok\'s larger banks. As is often the case, the company I was working for at the time &lsquo;forced\' me to open a savings account with a particular bank and branch purely for their own convenience. I won\'t mention the name of the bank in question but the staff all walk around proudly wearing oversized lapel badges that say \"Please Be My Customer\".</p>\n<p>Time has moved on. I left that particular job a long while back and I now live thirty miles from downtown Bangkok. But that branch where I opened the account still remains the centre of my banking universe.</p>\n<p>What makes the situation so annoying is that the bank has a large and well-staffed branch literally five minutes walk from my home. But go in there for the most trivial and simplest of transactions or requests and their response is always the same - \"you need to go to your home branch - the one where you opened the account. The one that\'s thirty miles away\"</p>\n<p>Almost every time, it ends up with me returning home, calling the bank\'s head office and speaking to a nice gentleman who informs me quite clearly that any branch can handle my request. He then contacts the local branch on my behalf and paves the way for me to go in and get the job done second time around.</p>\n<p><strong>Halt. Who goes there?</strong><br />It\'s a sign of the times of course, but security has been considerably beefed up at Bangkok\'s office buildings over the past few years. In some buildings, the security system is first-class, in others it\'s appalling. I loathe getting stopped by the &lsquo;security guard wannabe\' who asks me which company I\'m visiting - just because he can. There is nearly always the following exchange.</p>\n<p>I tell the uniform which company I\'m going to and on which floor. He then produces a dog-eared piece of paper which lists the names of all the companies in that building. That\'s not entirely accurate - it\'s a list of all the companies that were located in the building on the day it opened three years ago. Since then, numerous companies have gone bust or relocated and numerous companies have taken their place. The list hasn\'t been updated but come now - let\'s not concern ourselves with trivialities. What does it matter if the company I\'m visiting isn\'t on the list and I then need to phone my contact and make the poor bugger come down from the 38th floor to fetch me?</p>\n<p><strong>Can you send us a fax?</strong><br />What is it with Thailand\'s love affair with the fax machine? I remember when my mother was a full-time office worker. She came home one evening singing the praises of this wonderful machine that had arrived in the office - a machine that could send hard-copy messages and just moments later, the recipient could read the same message at his warehouse in The North Pole. The fax machine was revolutionary. But the fax machine also had its day. 1981 I think it was. It\'s amazing that there is still many a Thai company who simply couldn\'t function without its fax machine. All hail to the mighty fax! When I tell someone on the phone that I don\'t possess a fax machine, there\'s always an uncomfortable silence. It\'s similar to the silence I get when Thais ask why I don\'t have children and I respond with \"because I don\'t like them\". I\'m never sure whether the other person is going to quickly change the topic or just burst into tears.</p>\n<p>I hate fax machines. When you feed a message into the machine (after six attempts to get it the right way up) that\'s just the beginning. It\'s the beginning of an arduous journey - one that\'s strewn with numerous obstacles. Your message comes out the other end in some dimly-lit, untidy admin room on the first floor. We then hope and pray that the person reading the fax knows enough English to get it to the right department eighteen floors above. You might think this sounds unlikely. And you\'d be absolutely right.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you have the super premier customer discount card?</strong><br />This is what checkout girls and sales staff ask me in supermarkets and department stores. My answer is always no. And the reason my answer is no is because foreigners are never offered these discount cards and schemes. We never get invited to the party.</p>\n<p>Walk around any department store at the weekend and you\'ll see groups of excited Thais rummaging around for lucky draw tickets in large transparent plastic bins. You can only stand and watch - feeling about as welcome as a one-legged ginger stepchild - as Thai customers whoop with delight having won something large and expensive.</p>\n<p>Banners hang from the ceiling announcing &lsquo;Midnight Sale - 90% off everything in the store and free sex with the girls from the cosmetic department\" and portraying&nbsp;images of a wholesome Thai family stuffing boxfuls of free goodies into the boot of the car.<br />But you\'re shit out of luck. No one\'s wants to explain the rules to you. You\'re a foreigner. No one can be bothered.</p>\n<p><strong>Embassy Opening Hours</strong><br />I guess this point applies to embassies all over the world but it\'s just more obvious to me in Bangkok. Come on - admit it - you\'ve also stood outside a deserted embassy with your visa application form and suddenly realized it\'s National Ploughing Day. How could you have missed the sign that says \"Visa applications are handled for two hours on Monday mornings and pick-up is usually on Fridays unless we\'re all having lunch (except if it\'s a national holiday in Thailand, Malaysia, Tibet or any other country still under colonial rule)\"</p>\n<p>I realize that I\'m on very shaky ground here but what are the staff doing when the embassy isn\'t open? It could be argued that they are getting stuck into piles of paperwork but to create piles of paperwork don\'t you need to be open long enough?</p>\n<p>I particularly like the fact that embassy walls are often festooned with posters of tourist attractions in the country it represents. You might even get to see them if you can get the damn visa processed.</p>\n<p><strong>People with clipboards who stop me at Sky-train stations</strong><br />It doesn\'t matter how much of a rush I\'m in, I obviously have the look of a man who will say yes to anything. A lifetime membership to Greenpeace? Where do I sign? Discount membership to Fitness First? Oh boy look how out of breath I am. Need another credit card? What do you think this empty space in my wallet is for?</p>\n<p>And yet when there are a couple of dolly birds giving out free samples of shampoo and sugar-free chewing gum, I suddenly become invisible.

Sometimes the Revenue Department do not even know the teacher existed.','<p>Twelve years ago I responded to a request for assistance on a teaching forum from a teacher whose school Human Resources (HR) staff would not help her obtain a refund of Thai Personal Income Tax (PIT) in accordance with a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA), and since then my company has obtained tax treaty refunds for more than five hundred teachers.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Thailand has entered into DTA\'s with several countries but they are not just for the benefit of teachers. DTA\'s cover many aspects of international taxation including investment income, pensions, and film royalties, and the existence of an agreement does not automatically indicate a teaching exemption. The terms of the agreements differ from one to another, but most provide for teachers to be exempted from PIT, usually for a visit to Thailand not exceeding two years in length, for the purpose of teaching. &nbsp; The purpose of this article is to dispel some of the myths, misconceptions, scare stories and absolute mumbo-jumbo surrounding these claims. In fairness, many teachers new to Thailand have never encountered such confusion and understandably choose to trust their employers, Principals and Revenue Department employees, most of whom are blissfully ill-informed.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Where it is applied correctly a DTA exemption is for the full two years of the contract and not just two income tax years. Thus, if a teacher commences work in September, year 1, works through all of year 2 and completes the contract in August of year 3 that teacher will be eligible for a refund for those parts of years 1, 2 and 3 spent working in Thailand.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>There are some agreements, notably with Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, and New Zealand which do not provide an exemption for people who were resident in those countries, whereas other countries, such as Saudi Arabia, do not have agreements with Thailand at all. The Revenue Department often apply this aspect incorrectly and refer to a teacher\'s nationality in determining a claim when it is the teacher\'s previous country of residence that determines eligibility to claim. The American agreement, for example, exempts teachers of any nationality who were resident in the USA before commencing their first Thai teaching contract. The teacher does not need to be American, but to have been an American resident prior to visiting Thailand. The American agreement only exempts Americans if they were resident in the USA immediately before visiting Thailand to teach, and any Americans who were living in other countries should refer to Thailand\'s Agreements with those other countries.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Obtaining a refund for a teacher from, say, Canada, who was resident in the UAE prior to Thailand, adds an extra layer of bureaucracy, plus a fee to the Emirates\' Finance Department, to the procedure, but it is possible. Since the exemption depends upon a teacher\'s previous country of residence then, upon conclusion of a teaching visit to Thailand, the teacher may move on to a third country and if that country has a DTA with Thailand which includes the teaching exemption, the teacher will be exempt from income tax in the third country too.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Since, in Thailand, employers usually expect employees to pay for their mistakes, it is hardly surprising that school HR staff are often reluctant to assist teachers with claims which, in many cases, are for more than the HR employee\'s own annual salary. &nbsp;This reluctance is at the root of many excuses for not assisting teachers with tax treaty claims. HR staff are ill-equipped to deal with questions from the Revenue Department and are far more concerned with protecting their own positions than obtaining tax refunds for teachers who have left the country. &nbsp;It should also be remembered that, once a teacher\'s contract has ended, the school has no ongoing obligation to assist the teacher, and it is a tad optimistic to think that a school will devote the considerable resources necessary to process these claims, especially if the claim runs into difficulty as so many do.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Sometimes unscrupulous school owners mislead perfectly honest and credible school administrators who, in turn, unwittingly mislead teachers. One former school Principal contacted me after he was misled by school HR staff and consequently cheated out of his own tax treaty refund.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>There is a breathtaking level of corruption and dishonesty in Thailand and some school owners offer inducements to Revenue Department staff in order to avoid paying taxes to the Government; especially payroll taxes deducted from teachers who have departed.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>It is sometimes suggested that by banking a refund cheque the teacher is \"money laundering\". This comes from a misunderstanding of sections 341 and 269/5 of the Thai Criminal Code. Money laundering is a practice whereby the proceeds of an illegal activity are given the appearance of having a legitimate origin. There is nothing illegal about these treaties and they may be viewed on the Revenue Department website. The Revenue Department are hardly likely to promote a money laundering activity on one section of their website and warn people about the dire consequences of money laundering elsewhere on the same website. Most foreign banks are, however, unfamiliar with Thai cheques and, as money laundering regulations have become stricter, foreign banks have begun rejecting cheques issued by Thai banks. There are, however, procedures which allow Thai cheques to be cleared through the international banking system but they are not widely known. This aspect is becoming increasingly relevant since Thai banks are freezing accounts which remain inactive, even those accounts that are substantially in credit. It is easy to see how a teacher might believe these claims are illegal if his bank refuses to accept a Thai cheque due to money laundering concerns.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Occasionally school administrators have informed teachers that claiming a refund is \"against the law\". No indication of any specific law is offered, however, just \"the law\" in general. This stems largely from the miserable situation many schools got themselves into in 2003. For several years schools applied the exemption at source, by not deducting tax from teachers\' salaries, and relying upon their Thai HR staff to determine who was eligible for relief and who was not. &nbsp;This resulted in several schools receiving tax demands from the Revenue Department where they had failed to deduct tax from those teachers who were not eligible for the exemption. In the muddle that ensued Thai Revenue staff misinformed Thai school administrators of the proper regulations, those administrators provided school Principals with misinformation and many teachers paid back taxes unnecessarily. Others skipped the country leaving their schools to foot bills amounting to millions of Baht and many HR staff changed jobs in order to avoid blame.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>A few schools have again begun to pay teachers\' salaries gross for the first two years using the teacher\'s nationality and not his/her residence status to determine entitlement, and are making the very same mistakes as before. Teachers who resided in a country which does not have a reciprocal exemption with Thailand, before visiting Thailand, are not entitled to the exemption however and, where schools fail to deduct tax from teachers who should have paid tax, Revenue Department auditors do eventually discover their mistake. &nbsp;In circumstances where a teacher continues to work beyond the second year, administration staff will usually commence deducting tax from the beginning of the third year without considering that the exemption only relates to a visit not exceeding two years. In these circumstances teachers whose visit exceeds two years are no longer entitled to the two-year exemption and should receive tax demands for the years when the school did not deduct tax. There is no negotiation over this, even if the teacher left Thailand and returned with a new contract. Where they discover teachers in this situation the Revenue Department have learned from past experience and usually notify the Immigration Department in order to prohibit the teacher from leaving Thailand until the first two years\' taxes are paid in full. This cannot be rectified and teachers have been presented with substantial tax demands in recent years.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>School administrators, often concerned by past experiences, sometimes dissuade teachers from claiming the exemption by maintaining a teacher will have to pay tax in their home country if they claim a refund from Thailand. The teachers\' tax exemption is contained within Double Taxation Agreements for a very good reason and by combining the treaty exemption with the residency rules of a teacher\'s home country it is possible for teachers to receive their teaching salary free from tax in both Thailand and the teacher\'s home country.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>American teachers are usually covered by the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and British teachers who are not UK resident do not pay UK Income tax on overseas earnings. It is important for teachers to obtain professional advice at an early stage in order to ensure that the Thai salary is not only free from tax in Thailand but also in their home country. Misunderstandings, bad advice, or mistakes cannot be always be rectified after the event. Any competent advisor will be able to explain how the DTA exemption interacts with the residency rules in the home country. One representative encouraged teachers to contact me posing as interested clients in order to obtain information he was lacking in this aspect and I would strongly urge teachers to request evidence of recent successful claims from any advisor before agreeing to anything. The claim process is subject to regular changes and the UK residency rules, especially, have undergone considerable revision with effect from 2013, so anyone who has not obtained a refund in recent years may well be struggling to keep up with developments.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Part of the confusion surrounding these claims is that the official Thai translations of the treaties are worded in formal Thai language which many Revenue Department staff experience difficulty understanding and which is not a precise translation of the English version. A teacher may therefore submit a claim based upon the English version of a treaty only for the Revenue Department to challenge that claim using the Thai version. In these circumstances the teacher and the Revenue Department may become embroiled in a spiral of correspondence with each firmly believing the other is in the wrong. Revenue Department Head Office staff will now refer to the English language version of a DTA for clarity, but this is not usually the case at local offices where the English language capability is insufficient for this purpose.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Another common misconception is that a teacher should return to his home country at the conclusion of the visit to Thailand but this is not so and there is nothing in any DTA which requires this. This misunderstanding is mentioned in a post on the TES forum plus other indications that the first visit ends when a teacher returns to his home country for a holiday, but these are merely excellent examples of what happens when Thai Revenue staff invent their own conditions and teachers, or HR staff, lack the expertise to challenge them.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>The exemption usually applies for the FIRST teaching visit not exceeding two years although some agreements provide for a three-year exemption whilst others do not stipulate the visit has to be the first such visit at all. There is, however, widespread misunderstanding of what constitutes a \"visit\". Individual officers attempt to combine consecutive visits into one single visit in order to deny the exemption by maintaining that several consecutive visits constitute one continuous visit exceeding two years. &nbsp;With so many amateurs trying their luck with claims this interpretation has become the norm and, where claims are rejected, the costs of an appeal are prohibitive. Officers regularly seek to apply their own conditions in these circumstances, insisting the teacher should have remained outside Thailand for whatever period of time they can think of before returning to Thailand. That time period will simply be adjusted in each individual case to ensure the teacher is denied the exemption, which is why there is such confusion over how long a teacher should remain outside Thailand between visits.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>There are robust arguments and international case law, especially from the US in 2010, against the amalgamation of consecutive visits, although simply because a Revenue officer agrees to something on one occasion does not preclude that Officer from changing their mind twenty-four hours later if it appears they can get away with it, and teachers have handed back refunds in these circumstances without challenge, so it is hardly surprising so many Revenue offices take this approach.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>When a teacher returns to Thailand for a second or subsequent teaching visit, the teacher must pay tax FOR THAT SUBSEQUENT VISIT. Some Revenue Officers misunderstand this aspect and believe that upon returning to Thailand the teacher must pay tax for the first visit too, even if there are several years between visits. This is a different misunderstanding from that which sees Revenue officers seeking to combine consecutive visits. This argument accepts that there are two separate visits but asserts that a teacher is only ever permitted one visit to Thailand and when a second visit is made the exemption should be withdrawn for the first visit. After receiving a legitimate refund of tax paid during the first visit there should be no question of teachers having to repay that money unless the claim itself was fraudulent, and therein lies the source of further confusion.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>In some instances where a teacher has left Thailand, providing a school administrator with Power of Attorney, Revenue Department Staff with limited experience have requested the school administrator sign a letter confirming the refund will be repaid upon the teacher returning to Thailand. School administrators are an obliging lot and will sign the letters simply because they have no authority to challenge the Revenue Department. Teachers are still falling foul of this.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Some schools maintain they can obtain tax treaty refunds but in reality they are not always filing claims under the relevant tax treaties at all; they are merely doctoring the teachers\' original tax documents, understating the salary paid, in order to obtain a refund. Teachers who have been the victim of this treatment have been obliged to pay the refunds back upon their return to Thailand, even several years later, and are misled into believing they are refunding a tax treaty claim. In fact, they are simply handing back a tax refund which was obtained improperly, and the time period for making a genuine claim has been lost in the process.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>One remarkable explanation for failed claims provided by Thai HR staff is that the Revenue Department operate a lottery and teachers only receive refunds where they have lucky Taxpayer Identity Numbers. Any teacher who accepts this should seriously consider whether Thailand is really for them.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>My favourite assertion, however, is that \"the school is paying the teacher\'s tax\". It would be more correct to say the school is deducting tax from the teacher\'s gross salary and paying it to the Revenue Department. It is possible for a school to pay the teacher\'s tax but in this situation the regular Personal Income Tax paid by the school must be regarded as additional salary, and additional tax must therefore be paid on the tax which the school pays. This \"double grossing\" calculation works thus (2555BE figures):\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>NET SALARY ThB 1,000,000\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Personal Income Tax:\r\n	<br>150,000 NIL\r\n	<br>350,000 @ 10% = 35,000\r\n	<br>500,000 @ 20% 100,000\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Employee\'s Gross 1,135,000\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Employer\'s tax on tax\r\n	<br>( 135,000*100/70*30%) 57,857\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Total tax therefore ThB 135,000 + ThB 57,857. = ThB 192,857.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>In every instance where I have encountered schools maintaining they are paying a teacher\'s tax an examination of the tax records reveals that the only tax being paid is the regular amount ( ThB 135,000 in the above example) and not the grossed up figure ( ThB 192,857 above). In these circumstances the net pay scheme is commonly used to disguise a reduced level of tax payments to the Revenue Department in the year the teacher departs.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Using the above example of a teacher earning a net salary of ThB 1,000,000 net in a full year, we have established that the full year\'s tax amounts to ThB 135,000. Hence the monthly net salary is stated as ThB 83,333 and the monthly tax paid to the Revenue Department amounts to ThB 11,250, resulting in a monthly gross salary of ThB 94,583. This is fine for a complete twelve months but in the year of departure there will usually only be seven months\' salary, and schools are re-calculating the tax payments using the net salary they have contracted to pay, but over seven months, not twelve, and paying a lesser amount to the Revenue Department, resulting in an overall reduction of gross salaries and the teachers effectively receiving a pay cut without knowing it. Using the example here of a teacher with net salary of ThB 83,333 the tax payments for the final seven months reduce to ThB 6,012 per month thereby reducing the gross salary by ThB 5,238 to ThB 89,345. This is perfectly legal (ignoring that the teacher has been kept in the dark) but the reduced amount of tax paid is still the teacher\'s money and can be reclaimed. &nbsp;\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Determining who may claim what is only part of the process, and as with many aspects of life in Thailand it is not what you do that determines whether a claim is successful, but the way that you do it. Anyone who thinks they are simply going to hand a form in to the Revenue Department and receive a cheque with ease will be very disappointed.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>There is considerable prejudice directed against teachers claiming these refunds and in some instances school administrators will collaborate with Revenue Department officers in order to mislead and confuse teachers so as to deny them the refunds they are entitled to. Most Revenue Department staff would rather have their teeth pulled without anaesthetic than hand a Farang hundreds of thousands of Baht, and many school HR staff are of the same persuasion.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Revenue Department officers will often be \"too busy\" or maintain it is not their job when presented with claims. This can be an indication that the Officer is out of their depth. Most Revenue officials are only familiar with repayment claims under ThB 10,000. Being confronted with claims for millions of Baht worth of refunds presents Revenue officers with more responsibility than they ever expected and they will consequently put off handling a claim indefinitely with all manner of ingenious excuses.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>As part of the claim process the Revenue Department require internal tax documents from the school where the teacher worked and paid tax. Some schools do not provide the documents for a variety of reasons. Suffice to say, if a teacher breaks contract, the school may be very obstructive, even if professing to remain professional. Teachers who break their contracts are fully entitled to claim tax refunds but should consult a tax specialist in confidence long before leaving the school. &nbsp;I am aware of one teacher who chose to circulate offensive letters about his Principal and was so mystified over the delay obtaining a tax refund he took to writing even more offensive letters to people in the hope of improving his chances. Take my word on this, it doesn\'t work.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>It should also be considered that the interests of the school and the teacher may sometimes conflict. Principals have been known to make every effort to prevent teachers claiming, or even finding out about the availability of such tax refunds, in order to retain staff. &nbsp;When a school presents teachers with a variety of reasons (see above) as to why they should not claim and, especially, resists requests for tax documents, but then suddenly begins offering a free tax refund service, teachers are seriously deluding themselves if they think they will receive a tax refund once they have left Thailand. &nbsp;It is not unusual for certain schools to under-declare a teacher\'s salary and consequently the tax documents provided to the teacher do not always agree with amounts paid to the Revenue Department. Sometimes the Revenue Department do not even know the teacher existed. If a school can successfully under-declare, say, ten million Baht worth of salary, there is a potential tax saving of three million Baht. This situation is compounded by inefficiency in the Revenue Department itself and there are occasions when schools have paid the teachers\' taxes properly but the Revenue Department have simply failed to record the payments correctly. Determining whether the school or the Revenue Department is at fault can be an arduous task since each will usually attempt to apportion blame to the other.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>The Revenue Department have become wary of teachers since there have been significant numbers of opportunistic claims from individuals who regard the Revenue Department as some form of lottery, and many such claims are rejected leading, once again, to rumours that it is \"illegal\" to claim treaty relief. &nbsp;There have certainly been claims by teachers who know full well that they are ineligible to claim and, at best, these opportunistic claims serve to delay legitimate refunds since the Revenue Department have very few properly trained staff for this work so every failed claim they examine delays a genuine one.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>It is now common for the Revenue Department to request sight of an expired passport, and where they think a teacher may have worked in Thailand previously Revenue Officers will not repay a single Baht until they are certain a claim is justified. New passports especially cause suspicion since they are sometimes an indicator that the teacher has deliberately lost or withheld a previous passport revealing an earlier teaching appointment in Thailand. &nbsp; This all provides yet another excuse to stall a claim indefinitely and a request for an expired passport is sometimes simply another deliberate obstruction. The Revenue Department have also been known to request that the teacher return to Thailand in order to attend an interview in the Revenue Department office, with the prospect of the claim being rejected if the teacher fails to attend. Where a teacher does return to attend such an interview it is highly probable that subsequent \"interviews\" will be requested until such time as the teacher abandons the claim.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>In some instances schools have even employed relatives of the owners as \"tax attorneys\" and these individuals are the source of many misunderstandings. One school Principal even recommended the services of a \"lawyer\" without mentioning she was his Thai girlfriend. Thai \"lawyers\", often nothing more than visa specialists, are not beneath offering school HR staff incentives in exchange for introductions to teaching staff which leads to some totally inexperienced individuals trying their luck. It is remarkable that these individuals weren\'t obtaining refunds before I arrived on the scene, and a good many still aren\'t. Their services continue to be offered to teachers by the schools concerned, however, for obvious reasons.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Added to all of this is the further complication that many Revenue staff and school administrators are from poor backgrounds. The knowledge that teachers are reclaiming millions of Baht sometimes results in documents being withheld and claims being obstructed in the hope of obtaining an \"incentive\". Following on from my success we now have a remarkable number of school administrators who have become overnight tax advisors. The ruse here is to withhold documents from my staff in order to \"prove\" we cannot obtain the client\'s refund whilst offering their own services to teachers. Some school HR staff are also resorting to offering teachers\' contact details for sale to the highest bidder.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Principals have sometimes been known to recruit teachers with the promise they will not have to pay tax in Thailand, referring to the relevant tax treaties as proof, without mentioning the school itself has no process in place for reclaiming the tax it deducts. In these circumstances schools are sometimes offering free assistance from their own HR department in submitting claims. It must be stressed that this is not a \"blanket\" exemption and some teachers are not entitled to claim. Where it transpires a false claim has been intentionally submitted, even with the full co-operation of the school, the teacher, and not the school, will be held responsible.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>Where a false claim is submitted through a school the teacher can expect the Principal to protect his own interests by distancing himself from the teacher and even dismissing the teacher for bringing the school into disrepute. The following is the exact wording of a message I received from a Principal in such circumstances, after assisting a teacher in submitting a claim through the school:\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>\"He (the teacher) was only helped by one of the secretaries but signed his own papers so he faces some difficult questions by himself......his contract has not been renewed\".\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>The author of this message has since left Thailand, but his ideas on how to avoid responsibility for failed claims have most certainly been passed onto his successor who was bewildered to learn that the Revenue Department would not co-operate with the school concerned. &nbsp;This particular school lost all credibility with the Revenue Department and sending along the same HR staff who previously presented false claims with a fresh consignment did not improve the situation, but the HR staff have now created an informal agreement with their local Revenue Department which excludes roughly one third of that school\'s teachers from ever receiving refunds.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>In Thailand many Revenue Department Officers have trouble differentiating gossip from the law. It only takes just one Officer to have an epiphany, possibly influenced by someone with absolutely no tax experience whatsoever, and the entire process comes to a standstill in any particular office.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br>The uninformed opinion of somebody\'s older relative can often outweigh anything written in an international treaty, and therein lies another problem with these claims. Teachers are relying on what the staff in local Revenue offices tell them. Try explaining to Noy in Jomtien tax office that the terms she is imposing are other than or more burdensome than those imposed by the IRS, especially when her mother thinks otherwise.....it is, of course, much easier, given all of the above, to just tell the Farang teacher that these claims are illegal, that the exemption has been terminated, that it doesn\'t apply if you return for a second visit, etc. etc. which is where we were twelve years ago.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have any tax issue questions, you can call Stephen (the writer of this article) directly on 02 742 5189&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.uktaxadvisor.com/thailand_teacher_tax_claim.htm\">Stephen\'s website.</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/taxman1.gif','2018-11-14 07:47:00',1,'2017-02-26 07:47:39','2018-11-14 06:37:27'),(1205,53,'So you want to be a writer?','so-you-want-to-be-a-writer','You\'ll need to develop a thick skin and actually enjoy being lonely','While remaining a great distance from being a “successful” writer, I have formed a few opinions which I would like to share with other ajarns (or anyone else reading this) thinking of becoming writers.    ','<p>Many teachers of English or other subjects have ambitions to become writers. In this month\'s blog piece I will give some advice for those thinking of spending some of their time putting pen to paper (or more likely fingers to keyboard these day) with the idea of sharing their thoughts with an outside audience.\n<p>There are a few lucky individuals who were born with a talent for writing in a manner in which is appreciated by others. But for the vast majority of writers, writing is a talent that is constantly being nurtured and never perfected.</p>\n<p>Let me get self-indulgent for awhile to tell my story. I started my writing \"career\" later in life. Writing was something I had always wanted to do but never felt I had the talent nor the ability to market my work. However, while studying for my PhD I was getting an awful lot of practice writing, published my first article in an academic journal and felt I had many ideas I wanted to share with the world. Therefore, I set myself a goal of getting a book published within the next five years. Shortly after setting this goal, I ran across a call for proposals for books for an Asian Studies Series from a publisher in Oxford in the UK (I am not sure why as an American I have only been able to sell my ideas to publishers from Oxford); so I decided to start my collection of rejection slips (rejection e-mails these days) that nearly all writers and experts seem to claim is necessary to accumulate before finally getting a book published.</p>\n<p>So I put together a proposal primary as a method to learn about the process and to my surprise and delight, the proposal was accepted. I ended up bringing in two co-authors, Dr. Songporn Hansanti and Dr. Suthinan Pomsuwan to help with the project. The book that we wrote was titled, The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective. I later wrote another book for Chandos Publishing (Now part of Woodhead Publishing Limited) titled Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm. My most recent book was published by Routledge Publishing, and is titled Business Practices In Southeast Asia: An Interdisciplinary Analysis Of Theravada Buddhist Countries. I have also written a number of chapters for edited books, academic journal articles, conference papers, Internet articles and a few short pieces for newspapers.</p>\n<p>While remaining a great distance from being a \"successful\" writer, I have formed a few opinions which I would like to share with other ajarns (or anyone else reading this) thinking of becoming writers.</p>\n<p>1. <strong>Forgot any dreams of fame and fortune</strong>. I suspect most writers dream of being the next JK Rowling, Dan Brown or Stephen Covey. The reality is book sales are on a downward trend and the number of jobs for journalists, a notoriously low paid profession, continues to decline. Yes, there are plently of opportunities for writing on the internet, like blogging, but making any substanial money from writing for internet sources is uncommon. For the average author of a book, living the high life off the royalties earned is nothing more than a pipe dream. The vast majority of \"professional\" writers have full time jobs and while writing my be one\'s passion, it rarely pays the bills let alone allows one to live in luxury.</p>\n<p>2. <strong>Think Marketing.</strong> As a sometimes university instructor in marketing (as well as management, international business, economics, and any other subject someone will pay me to teach) I realize marketing is all about segmentation and targeting. Nearly every author I have heard interviewed gives the advice to aspiring writers to write about what one knows. Good advice, but one always needs to realize that to sell a book or article, one first needs to sell the idea to a publisher or editor. The writer of a book needs to know what market segment the book is targeted at the convince a publisher or editor to publish the work..</p>\n<p>For example, I mostly write for an \"academic\" audience and I understand the need to use academic conventions to meet the expectations of the target audience and targeted publishers, editors, and peer-reviewers. The down side ot this style is it prevents most publishers from attempting to market and sell the books to the general public. Fiction writers also need to understand the market to understand what publishers are looking for. Many people dream of writing the next great literary novel, but the majority of fiction publishers know the size of the market for literary fiction is very small and therefore one sees greater opportunities in the writing of genre fiction (mystery, romance, sci-fi, horror, etc... ). Write what you know, but identifying the market segment the work will appeal to and writing with that audience in mind will increase the probability of getting the work published and read.</p>\n<p>3. <strong>Develop a thick-skin.</strong> I remember one time, I had heard a lot about the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and therefore checked the book out from the university library to see what all the fuss was about. A colleague saw me with the book one day and started in on a harsh criticism of the book. I quickly joined in, as I also found the book to be overly simplistic and filled with flaws. After a few minutes of this, we looked back down at the cover of the book where was written something in the order of \"Over 7 million copies sold\" and we had ourselves a good laugh at ourselves. I may still believe the book is flawed, but Stephen Covey is rich and famous, and I am not, and I suspect his millions allow him to get over the hurt from the criticisms of his work.</p>\n<p>When you write, you put your thoughts and ideas in a permanent form for the world to see and criticize. Stephen King, Dan Brown and Mickey Spillane all have had more than their share of critics, yet all these writers have sold a large number of books. Another example Geert Hofstede, the Dutch scholar who has been the most influential writer on the effect of culture in business settings has had his work severely challenged as has Michael Porter who is probably the most influential scholar/writer in strategic management over the last 50 years.</p>\n<p>If you write, the only way to avoid being criticized is to not let anyone read what you have written, There is no such thing as perfect writing which is universally praised, even the best selling book of all time, the Bible, has legions of critics. Writing is an \"art\" and what appeals to one taste does not necessarily appeal to another\'s. On the other hand, to improve as a writer one needs to keep an open mind and should evaluate the criticisms of others in order to work on improving one\'s skills. The trick is to separate constructive criticisms from criticisms that you did not write for the target audience the critic thinks you should have written for and the inevitable barbs thrown by those motivated by envy as opposed to being helpful. Writing is like being a politician or football manager (coach) in that it is much easier to criticize others doing the job than it is in actually successfully accomplishing the job. If you are easily offended, writing for public consumption may not be a very fulfilling use of one\'s time.</p>\n<p>4. <strong>Write.</strong> Writers write, and writing is time-consuming and often quite tedious. Many people want to have been published, but do not necessarily want to go through all the work and trouble of doing the actual writing. Non-fiction writing, especially academic non-fiction writing, requires a tremendous amount of research which eats up hours of one\'s life. From what I have heard, I assume fiction writing also often requires research in addition it often requires extensive plotting and character development which are neither easy nor quickly done. Furthermore, unless one is writing a straight-forward and short journalistic piece, good writing requires extensive and time-consuming rewrites. Some writers may be able to write something brilliant, well-organized and grammatically correct in the first draft, but I surely do not fall into this category and I suspect neither do the majority of writers. Each chapter of each book I have written was rewritten at least five times before going to the publisher, and then was rewritten at least two more times before being ready for the printers.</p>\n<p>Along with being time consuming, writing is a solitary endeavor. Most writers have a bit of loner in them. Writers are often more observers of life than participants. If the idea of sitting alone with your own thoughts for hours on end while ignoring your family and friends does not sound appealing, writing might not be for you. Writing a book takes A LOT of time, and one needs discipline to complete the task. There is always something more enjoyable (good show on TV) and more pressing (I need to wash and iron my shirts) to do than to sit down alone and write. A person with a job, a family, and a life, does not have time to be a writer. But a writer somehow finds the time to write. For example, before becoming a successful writer, Stephan King worked as an English teacher in Maine and lived in an old second hand mobile home with two children. Every night he would lock himself into the laundry room and place his typewriter on his lap and write, usually well past midnight, even though the vast majority of his stories, before Carrie was published, were rejected. Anyone can want to be a writer, but a writer is someone who actually takes the time to do the writing.</p>\n<p>PS.

Most employers will be enrolling members into the new scheme of personal accounts rather than plumping for the existing schemes. An ageing population coupled with government regulations and economic volatility has effectively put an end to the costly final salary schemes. In fact, The Association of British Insurers and Age Concern on Sunday called for the age at which people must buy an annuity with pension savings to rise &thinsp;from &thinsp;75&thinsp; to &thinsp;80.</p>\n<p>USS, the second-largest private-pension scheme in the UK, said the value of its fund was &pound;26.8 billion as of 30 September 2009. With &pound;31.8 billion of benefits promised to members, this left it with a &pound;5 billion deficit on the \"technical provisions\" basis. <br />So, what can you do to protect your pension and make sure your pension pays out? Luckily, you have the option of moving into a SIPP (Self Invested Pension Plan) or a QROPS (Qualifying Recognized Overseas Pension Scheme). If you don\'t intend to return to the UK, the QROPS is often the better option, whilst if you ever want to return to the UK it is more prudent to invest in a SIPP. They both provide protection against income tax and capital gains tax whilst a QROPS also protects against inheritance tax (currently 40%). It is important to choose a scheme which is approved by HMRC (Inland Revenue) and ideally based in Guernsey or the Isle of Man (which both offer 90% protection for your pension, should the insurance company you use goes bust).</p>\n<p>Of course, not all pensions should be transferred offshore. Some final salary schemes provide a high level of benefits which makes it not worth moving. The best thing to do is to get your local qualified financial advisor to take a look at your pension.</p>\n<p>Richard D.

Perhaps we should say Happy New Decade since a year is too short in financial planning. Before we look forward, let\'s look back and take stock of how the last 10 years have affected investments.\n<p>2000 - 2009 - THE DECADE OF &lsquo;ZEROS\' This is how many will sum up the results of their investments during this period. Although 2009 itself produced a remarkable recovery from the late 2008 meltdown (highlighting again the importance of &lsquo;hanging in\' when things get bad) it did not prevent the decade from becoming one of the worst in the history of investing. Using the S&amp;P 500 as one of the main benchmarks, the market saw a fall of close to 25%, its first ever losing decade. Even with the reinvestment of dividends the loss would still be almost 10%. If the USD is not your base currency you will have seen a further loss of 23% against a basket of major currencies. Some exchanges in Europe performed even worse, with losses ranging from 35% to 70% over the decade.</p>\n<p>Bonds did better. If you were in a traditional US or British pension plan or portfolio with a 60/40 equity/bond split you would have made a small return of around 1.5% to 2.5% per annum over the period, but most of this would have been wiped out in charges. Many commercial property and hedge funds became distressed and are currently frozen. For most people the best strategy during the decade, contrary to all investment theory, would have been to leave their money in the bank - provided the bank survived the meltdown!</p>\n<p>WHY WERE THINGS SO BAD? To start with, the figures are a little bit skewed because markets ended the 90\'s on a high. But the next decade saw two major market crashes, the impact of 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and finally the banking crisis and credit crunch.</p>\n<p>BUT NOT ALL INVESTMENTS WENT DOWNHILL On the contrary, there were some star performers during the period. Those who were prepared to venture into perceived riskier investments saw huge gains in emerging markets. These ranged over the decade from 150% in China, 270% in India to 500% in Brazil and almost 700% in Russia. Commodities also enjoyed a boom. Gold has more than tripled in price. Property prices rose significantly in most countries but the credit crunch brought them crashing down from their highs.</p>\n<p>SO HOW DID YOU FARE OVER THE DECADE? Variable at best since you will almost certainly (and theoretically correctly) have had a large portion of your investments in the major markets. But if you have been a long time with any of our team the chances are you will have done better than the 25% or greater losses of the major stock markets. If your portfolio or savings plan include emerging markets, gold, precious metals, base metals, energy or virtually any commodity, the gains will have helped to offset the losses in the major markets. We have also made good use of the managed futures funds which, while negative in 2009, strongly outperformed all major stock markets over the decade. Some went into one of the Australian Dollar product versions offered by Man Investments (OM-IP) and enjoyed a significant currency gain as well.</p>\n<p>The actual performance of your portfolio or savings plan will depend of course on the timing of your investment. If you made a lump sum investment at any of the peaks in the markets you will still be counting the losses. If on the other hand you were bold (or just lucky) enough to invest when markets were at their lowest you could be looking at some quite significant gains. As high as 100% for example if you invested in a China fund just nine months ago! Most Asia-Pacific stocks are up around two thirds over the year.</p>\n<p>BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT DECADE? The temptation is always to follow yesterday\'s success stories. If you do so, you may decide to play safe and put all your money into bank deposits. Or you may choose to be bold and put everything into emerging markets or commodities on the assumption that they will continue to bring in high profits. But experience tells us that nothing in the investment world stays the same for long. An extreme example is that of the top five equity funds in the UK at the start of 2000. Five years later not one was even in the top 500! You have to keep reviewing the situation.</p>\n<p>At the moment analysts are still telling us that emerging markets and commodities are the place to be as we enter 2010. They are probably right but be prepared to reduce your holdings when just about everyone has jumped on the bandwagon.</p>\n<p>With best wishes for 2010 and the new decade!</p>\n<p>Eric Jordan</p>\n<p>Managing Director, Professional Portfolio International</p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:eric.jordan@ppi-advisory.com\">Contact</a> Eric&nbsp;/ <a href=\"http://www.ppi-advisory.com/home/index.php\">View </a>PPI website</p>\n</p>','','2010-01-21 04:37:50',1,'2010-01-21 04:37:50','2010-01-24 19:07:51'),(1225,55,'Welcome to the Thailand Educators Network (TEN)','welcome-to-the-thailand-educator-network-ten','What\'s coming up in our teachers\' evenings this year?','Set up to create an environment in which educators can meet to discuss and explore professional and personal concerns and to establish a positive forum for the enhancement of teaching and teaching opportunities in Thailand, we meet every month, on or close to the 10th at the Roadhouse Barbecue.','<p>\n<p>In January, TEN welcomed, Dr Mina Eaves who talked about using learning styles effectively in class.</p>\n<p>Her comments are below, followed by an overview of our February, March, April, May and June schedule and speakers...</p>\n<p><strong>Dr Mina Eaves<br />Using learning styles effectively in class<br />12 January 2010</strong></p>\n<p>Dr Mina carefully led Thailand Educators Network into and through the world of learning styles in a fascinating and thought provoking journey into her area of expertise and passion.</p>\n<p>Beginning with an introduction into learning styles, Dr Eaves began by suggesting that learning style definitions include one or more of following: 1) Habitual information processing style - how learners perceive, store and organize information; 2) Learning strategies - adaptive responses to material and context; or 3) Instructional preferences.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, she overwhelmed us with the fact that there are currently over 100 learning style models used widely, and she added with foreboding in her voice, \"assumed\", she stressed, \"assumed to improve learning...\"</p>\n<p>However, before moving on to this titillating nugget of information to follow, Dr Mina provided a very brief history of learning styles divided into two distinct eras.</p>\n<p>The 1970s and 80s, she explained, saw an explosion in learning styles models including wholist-analytical (field independence), verbal-imagery, left-right brain, VAK models with visual, auditory and kinesthetic as key words, Kolb-based models and his ideas about activist, reflector, theorist, pragmatist/concrete learners and the interactionist models dealing with environmental, emotional, sociological, physiological and psychological issues.</p>\n<p>The 1990s and up to now see more emphasis on metacognition and the way learners learn in terms of, for example, self-insight and self-regulation of learning.</p>\n<p>Returning repeatedly, Dr Mina referred to the Coffield Report (2004) Dr Mina reviewed how the report had studied 100 different learning styles models and then offered some detailed information for the 13 Most Popular Learning Styles Models.</p>\n<p>The Coffield Report, Dr Mina went on, recommended the following models for use with higher-education students: Vermunt (Inventory of Learning Styles- ILS) and Entwistle (Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students-ASSIST); while for the workplace, Allinson and Hayes (Cognitive Styles Index- CSI) and Apter (Motivational Style Profile- MSP).</p>\n<p>Dr Mina was clearly in her field of expertise as she led us through some very convincing arguments against using learning styles.</p>\n<p>1. Over-simplistic as learning is a complex interaction<br />2. Lab findings over-extended and used to label learners inappropriately<br />3. Learning improvement claims are over-inflated<br />4. Too many conflicting models as this kind of testing is a lucrative business<br />5. Problems with validity and reliability of the actual questionnaires<br />6. Eurocentric in that it is not known if they hold weight in non-Western contexts</p>\n<p>Dr Mina went on; however, to suggest that learning styles should not be abandoned completely as it can offer some insights into how to teach and the various ways we tend to learn, or even prefer to learn depending on the subject matter and what we plan to do with acquired knowledge and/or skills.</p>\n<p>Among other things, she recommended to</p>\n<p>1. Use well-designed, reputable and appropriate questionnaires<br />2. Be aware of their limits and to avoid labeling learners and stereotyping<br />3. Integrate ideas into the learning context and just as a one-off session<br />4. Use to develop learner self-insight and self-regulation into their learning processes (metacognition)<br />5. Remind teachers to use multiple strategies and monitor learning effectiveness</p>\n<p>In conclusion, Dr Mina made it clear that while learning styles is a very controversial and misunderstood area, with the careful selection of a learning styles model and questionnaire carefully based on reliability and validity, we can use these questionnaires to help our students develop metacognition rather than to categorize them which should lead into the use of a wide range of teaching strategies to accommodate all learning styles.</p>\n<p>Sound advice from someone who clearly knows her topic, Dr Mina will be back again to share more of her insights into education and in particular, education in Thailand.</p>\n</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>&nbsp;2010 Schedule</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Wednesday, 10 March<br />**Tuesday, 30 March**<br />Monday, 10 May<br />Thursday, 10 June<br />**Monday, 12 July**</p>\n<h3>Encouraging Observations</h3>\n<p><strong>Alan S.

Administrators often use observations to criticize, blame and chastise teachers, which can be demoralizing and even professionally destructive.</p>\n<p>Looking at observation as a process of inquiry and as a developmental tool has the potential to turn what is often a traumatic process into a constructive, creative event that teachers request and look forward to rather than fear.</p>\n<p>This presentation introduces a simple procedure for non-judgmental observation that can be integrated into any teaching situation to promote reflective teaching, inspire creativity and foster change in teaching practice.</p>\n<p>Alan S Mackenzie is East Asia Regional Project Teacher Training Manager for the British Council. Based in Bangkok for the past five years, he has extensive experience working in the East Asia region. Previous to this he lived and worked in Japan for fifteen years as an English Language Instructor in Waseda, Sophia, Obirin and Keisen Universities and was Director of Program for the Japan Association for Language Teachers. He is currently an advisor to the board of Thai TESOL and a graduate of the Teachers College Columbia University MA TESOL program on which he has also been an instructor.</p>\n<h3>Teaching Tomorrow\'s Leaders</h3>\n<p><strong>Pamela Hongsakul<br />Leadership Educator</strong></p>\n<p>Wednesday, 10 March 2010</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s youth have witnessed a country in turmoil the past three years and been exposed to different leadership styles.

The main Sukhumwit line has been extended as far as Soi Baring in Bang-na and thousands of commuters who live on that side of the city are dreaming endlessly of an extra thirty minutes in bed each morning. Or at least they should be. The stations have all been built, the signage is in place and everything looks ready to go. The only question is when? What\'s the hold-up?\n<p>It\'s become apparent to me over the last couple of weeks that the question of &lsquo;when?\' has become a considerable source of embarrassment to the BMTS Public Company Limited and its front-line staff. Put simply - no one seems to have a fucking clue. The official website gives no inkling whatsoever; in fact it hasn\'t been updated since September 2009 and that was only when a webmaster decided to tinker with the merchandising section. You can now buy a cute sky-train watch and even a sky-train pillow, but for the thousands of passengers who keep the system in operation, it\'s a case of being treated like a mushroom - in other words, kept in the dark and fed bullshit.</p>\n<p>I will confess that I have a vested interest in all of this. I live out in that surburban wilderness otherwise known as Samut Prakarn. The new Sukhumwit line extension will take me another three quarters of the way home compared to the situation now where I have to get off the train at BTS Onnud and then hail a cab to take me the rest of the way. I\'m excited about the idea of riding another half a dozen stations, cutting down my journey time and probably saving money into the bargain. I should add that for some unfathomable reason the notorious Bangkok traffic seems to have worsened considerably over the last few weeks, particularly on parts of Sukhumwit Road and the section of Sri Nakarin Road near the Seri Centre. And that\'s why I\'m sick of gazing longingly at those gleaming new sky-train stations and wondering when someone is going to cut the red and white tape and declare the damn things open.</p>\n<p>BTS Rajdamri, on the Silom Line, is one of the system\'s lesser-used stations. I always feel sorry for the staff there because they clearly have nothing to do. Perhaps being asked to go and work at Rajdamri station is the company equivalent of being sent to Siberia. \"Please don\'t send me there - I\'ll die of boredom\" Regardless, it seemed a good place to start my investigation.</p>\n<p>I crouched down to address the ticket officer through the tiny holes in the perspex screen and asked her if she was familiar with the currently unopened extension to the Sukhumwit line. She nodded in the affirmative. We\'d got off to a fine start. But then came the crunch question. \"When will it be open?\" She adopted a look of sheer horror. Her lips moved but there were no words coming out. I got the kind of reaction I would expect if I\'d asked her to remove her top and give me a quick glimpse of her puppies. \"Go on darling - just for me - it\'s the middle of the afternoon and there\'s no-one about\"</p>\n<p>Eventually a male colleague came over. He looked more senior on account of his company issue blue shirt being better pressed. But he couldn\'t answer my burning question. Neither could two more BTS staff who decided to join in the fun. It suddenly struck me that I had unearthed one of Bangkok\'s darkest secrets? Further investigation was necessary.</p>\n<p>I asked a couple of taxi drivers. Almost without hesitation, \"August this year\" came the reply from the first driver. \"Early 2011\" came the second driver\'s equally confident reply. You can always rely on Bangkok\'s cabbies to update you on all things transportation. Yes - they didn\'t have a clue either. I asked a couple of the staff at BTS Onnud. Surely one of them would know when the Sukhumwit extension - that great big concrete and steel monstrosity that they can almost reach out and touch from their ticket window - would be open for business. But all I could enter into my grubby little research notebook was the annoyingly vague \"some time next year\" and the irritating but brutally honest \"sorry I don\'t know\"</p>\n<p>It was my own dear wife who shed a rather unexpected ray of light on this whole fiasco. There is an interesting thread on the popular Thai discussion forum Pantip.com. Unfortunately I can\'t read Thai so I\'m reliant on my wife for translations and overall summaries. The title of the thread is \"why is the BTS extension still closed?\" There then follows much ranting and raving from disgruntled Thai sky-train passengers. It\'s comforting in a way to know that the Thais are every bit as pissed off as I am.</p>\n<p>Much of what is being written on the thread is pure speculation and hearsay, but I do like the story of the old man and the signature. It goes something like this. Someone high up in the BTS hierarchy is responsible for the safety elements of the sky-train construction. Once the extension is up and running, if a huge lump of concrete plummets to the street below or eighty passengers are electrocuted in a freak escalator incident, this person is responsible.</p>\n<p>The only snag is that this man - and all fingers of accusation point to it being an elderly male - will retire next year.</p>\n<p>I can see you reading this and putting two and two together - who would want to run the risk of buggering up their golden years by foolishly signing off a test certificate? (or whatever needs to be signed off) and suddenly becoming responsible? Good Heavens! Wouldn\'t you rather be sitting on your front porch with a gin and it, looking out at yet another glorious Chiang Mai sunset, and not have the fear of picking up the phone and being told \"shit Bill, one of the stations has collapsed\"?</p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier - the story is nothing but rumor and idle gossip, yet there\'s a familiarity to the tale that will strike a chord with any Bangkok old hand. Yes, that time-honored lack of accountability has reared its ugly head once again. Meanwhile, those of us &lsquo;stranded\' in the Samrongs and the Bang Nas continue to dream of that moment when the &lsquo;rot fai faa\' connects us to the rest of the world and whisks us into downtown Bangkok with a minimum of fuss. I only hope it\'s worth waiting for.</p>\n</p>','','2010-01-29 22:16:01',1,'2010-01-29 22:16:01','2010-01-30 16:04:02'),(1236,8,'Death by worksheet','death-by-worksheet','How worksheets can spice up any lesson','My favourite kinds of worksheets are conversation worksheets, pair and group work, creative writing worksheets, vocabulary worksheets, and ESL board games. The right mix of these makes communication possible, keeps students\' attention going and puts some fun into learning. ','<p>As we all know course books can get a bit tedious sometimes, so many teachers resort to the occasional worksheet to liven up their lessons and give students the opportunity to do something different. Students appreciate this approach as it means a break from possibly uninteresting course work.</p>\n<p>Basically, worksheets can spice up bland lessons and complement dull and out-of-date course books as well as reinforce language skills. What teachers should avoid, however, is using so many worksheets that even the students get fed up with them.</p>\n<p>Most schools around the world (should) provide course books for their students and teaching resources for their teachers. This should be the starting point for any teacher to plan their lessons as most ESL books have a well designed curriculum that teaches students little by little the necessary skills needed to communicate in the language of Shakespeare.</p>\n<p>It is a fact, however, that no book is perfect, so teachers need to skip, adapt and complement. This is where worksheets can come in handy.</p>\n<p>If you\'re teaching a class without a proper course book, things are slightly different. If it\'s a conversation class, using worksheets only can be ideal as you\'ll have a highly adaptable course that can take into account students\' interests in which you can insert relevant and topical subject at the last minute.</p>\n<p>You could even let your students decide what they\'d like to discuss the next class, a course of action that usually not only leads to more lively lessons, but to better motivated students as well.</p>\n<p>However, if you teach a regular class that is supposed to build students\' basic skills, using an avalanche of possibly unrelated worksheets without a clear purpose is not such a good idea. Your lessons could easily degrade into a &lsquo;rag bag\' approach in which you feature as the magician pulling rabbit after rabbit out of your hat.</p>\n<p>Although most of us enjoy magic shows, many students could quickly get bored of predicting what kind of rabbit to expect next. It should also be clear that it is very difficult to follow or teach a structured curriculum using this &lsquo;technique\'.</p>\n<p>My favourite kinds of worksheets are conversation worksheets, pair and group work, creative writing worksheets, vocabulary worksheets, and ESL board games. The right mix of these makes communication possible, keeps students\' attention going and puts some fun into learning.</p>\n<p>I think most word searches are virtually useless unless they are picture word searches with no vocabulary given.</p>\n<p>If students themselves need to come up with the words that go with the pictures and then find them in the grid, word searches can be great for reinforcing vocabulary. With the &lsquo;traditional\' approach, however, I could do word searches in Swahili or Finnish without ever knowing what the words I\'m looking for mean.</p>\n<p>Another kind of worksheet I don\'t really like are reading comprehension worksheets, not only because most course books already have plenty of these, but because they don\'t really improve students\' fluency and are usually incredibly boring.</p>\n<p>When it comes to making or downloading useful worksheets, it should be clear that content is infinitely more important than the layout and colour of a worksheet. Don\'t forget however, that students will usually prefer worksheets - and do them with a lot more enthusiasm - that have an eye-catching layout to ones that are plain text.</p>\n<p>Bearing this in mind, I think teachers should try to find a middle way, making or downloading worksheets that are both educational and visually pleasing.

Recruiters who just want their finder\'s fee; language school directors who spend their time counting their money instead of providing quality education; administrators who couldn\'t care less about the students; educational bureaucrats who take more pride in signing papers and patting themselves on the back instead of working for the children they claim to represent; co-teachers who prefer a foreign entertainer in the classroom rather than a responsible native English teacher; and uncaring immature native English teachers who look forward to a Friday night drinking binge more than a Monday morning lesson are just a few of the problems in this industry that never seems to change for the better.</p>\n<p>Every once in a while I see an advertisement on various teacher websites that asks a teacher to write an essay on why they want to teach English in a particular country.

After reading that, would you hire me?</p>\n<p>For every reputable school that is looking for serious, responsible, caring, and dedicated teachers who are committed to the success of the students, there are many more who simply don\'t care about the teachers they hire or the students under their tutelage. That\'s too bad, because when we rob children of their future, we destroy the soul in every society. Here\'s the essay.</p>\n<p><strong>The Promise of Tomorrow: Making the Classroom a Sacred Place.</strong></p>\n<p><em>\"Education is a sacred thing, and the pledge to build a school is a commitment that cannot be surrendered or broken, regardless of how long it may take, how many obstacles must be surmounted, or how much money it will cost. It is by such promises that the balance sheet of one\'s life is measured.\"</em></p>\n<p>Greg Mortenson, \"Stones Into Schools: Promoting Peace With Books, Not Bombs, In Afghanistan and Pakistan .\" (Viking, Penguin Group, Inc. New York , New York , U.S.A. , pp. 64-65.)</p>\n<p>Thank you very much for this opportunity to apply for a teaching position at your school. Regardless of whether I am hired, regardless of whether I am chosen to represent the dreams and aspirations of the students I have been given the responsibility to teach, I am deeply honored to have been given this opportunity to apply.</p>\n<p>There is nothing more important, no experience more humbling, nothing more sacred than the education of children. If cement and bricks are the building blocks of constructing a house, then it must be said that the classroom is the very foundation where the hopes and dreams of children are planted and carefully nurtured.</p>\n<p>This planting and careful nurturing of our children\'s hopes and dreams are found in the hearts of caring and dedicated teachers. Teachers who sacrifice their time day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year to ensure that their students receive the finest education.</p>\n<p>When I think of the characteristics that make a good teacher, responsibility comes to mind. A good teacher must be able to respond to the needs of the students. Patience is another important characteristic of a good teacher. Honesty, integrity, compassion, dedication to the profession, and a burning desire to help the students succeed can elevate a good teacher to the realm of potential greatness. But what makes a great teacher stand out more than anything else is sacrifice. A great teacher sacrifices his time, his energy, his effort, and above all, himself.</p>\n<p>In today\'s modern world, the word \"sacrifice\" has been given a bad rap. According to www.yourdictionary.com, sacrifice is defined this way:</p>\n<p>1) The act of offering the life of a person or animal, or some object, in propitiation of or homage to a deity;</p>\n<p>2) The act of giving up, destroying, permitting injury to, or forgoing something valued for the sake of something having a more pressing claim;</p>\n<p>3) A selling or giving up of something at less than its supposed value.</p>\n<p>The act of offering a life, giving up, destroying, permitting injury to, forgoing something valued? Wow. Is it any wonder that no one today is willing to sacrifice their time or effort? Especially when we have been told over and over again that to sacrifice is to give something up?</p>\n<p>These definitions are not correct. They are wrong. These modern day definitions have taken us way from the true meaning of sacrifice which is found in its Latin root \"sacrificium.\" From www.yourdictionary.com:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Etymology: OFr &lt; L sacrificium &lt; sacer, sacred + facere, to make, do</p>\n<p>To sacrifice is to make something sacred. When we sacrifice, we do the sacred. When we truly sacrifice we do not lose anything. We do not give something up. We do not destroy. We do not permit injury or forgo something valued. We gain something. In fact, we gain many things. In making the classroom a sacred place, we gain the joy of seeing the sparkle of wonder in a child\'s eyes. In sacrificing our time for our students, we gain the satisfaction of knowing that one day our students will look back on the time we spent encouraging them to follow their dreams.</p>\n<p>Great teachers are leaders, knowing what must be done. Great teachers are responsible and teach responsibility to their students. Great teachers are process driven and results oriented, and know exactly what is needed to produce a desired goal. Great teachers are caring and patient and know deep in their heart that what is taught today will be practiced tomorrow. Great teachers make the classroom sacred. Great teachers take the teaching and learning process and make it sacred. That\'s what great teachers do.</p>\n<p>Great teachers like Rafe Esquith from Hobart Street Elementary School and author of \"There are no Shortcuts\", \"Teach Like Your Hair is on Fire\", and \"Light Their Fire.\" Rafe takes his sixth grade class in an inner-city neighborhood of Los Angeles and teaches them Math, Science, Economics, and Shakespeare in a very innovative way. Many of Esquith\'s students come from Korea , Mexico , and Central America where they never learned to speak English. Yet with Esquith\'s skill, patience, caring, and compassion, these students are soon reading and understanding great American literature and producing full Shakespearean plays.</p>\n<p>Esquith also instills in his students time-honored characteristics which he implements and incorporates in what he calls, a \"Classroom Culture\": These important characteristics are:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;1) Be nice,</p>\n<p>2) Work hard, and</p>\n<p>3) There are no shortcuts.</p>\n<p>Esquith knows, as all great teachers know, that in order to have good students, we must first teach them how to be good people. As Esquith says in his books \"We may teach today but we do not teach FOR today.\" We teach for a better tomorrow. We teach children today so that they can find success 15 years from today. Because of Esquith\'s great and timely advice, I try and incorporate a \"Classroom Culture\" of my own.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;From <a href=\"http://www.hobartshakespeareans.org\">www.hobartshakespeareans.org</a></p>\n<p>\"Year after year, The Hobart Shakespeareans excel. They read passionately, far above their grade level; tackle algebra, and stage Shakespeare so professionally that they often wow the great Shakespearean actor himself, Sir Ian McKellen.</p>\n<p>Yet this takes place in Room 56, at a large urban public elementary school. All of the children at Hobart Elementary School qualify for free breakfast and lunch, and few speak English as a first language. Many are from poor or troubled families.</p>\n<p>What\'s the winning recipe? A diet of intensive learning mixed with a lot of kindness and fun. These children come to school at 6:30 a.m. and often stay until it is dark. They come during vacation. They take field trips all over the world. They play rock and roll music. Mediocrity has no place in their classroom. And the results follow them for life, as they go on to outstanding colleges.</p>\n<p>It is not easy, but these children dare to defy society\'s expectations. These kids are hungry, and they want out. They work their way out. After all, there are no shortcuts.\"</p>\n<p>Because of his creativity, innovation, and a \"take no prisoners, damn the torpedoes\" attitude, Rafe Esquith is a hero-teacher of mine.</p>\n<p>Then there\'s Erin Gruwell, an English teacher who taught in the 1990\'s at an inner-city school in Long Beach , California and author of the book \"Teach with Your Heart.\" In an article on www.heroes.com titled \"Teacher Hero: Erin Gruwell\", Jerrilyn Jacobs writes this:</p>\n<p>\"For Erin Gruwell, walking into her first teaching job was like entering a war zone. Gruwell was given a class of \"sure-to-drop-outs,\" students no other teacher wanted, students who weren\'t expected to succeed. The school was tough, racially divided, and gang-infested. Fights and even murders were part of the students\' experience. Some of the kids were homeless. Others came from broken or abusive homes. They saw people they knew using drugs every day. There were few places to go to be safe and few people they could count on.</p>\n<p>Gruwell brought in Holocaust survivors as guest speakers. She worked a second job on weekends so she could take the students to movies and on field trips.</p>\n<p>Inspired by their readings and field trips, Gruwell\'s students started keeping diaries in which they wrote about their daily battles and experiences. For some of them, Gruwell\'s class was the only place where anyone wanted to hear their stories. For others, it was the first safe place to share them.</p>\n<p>Gruwell\'s class became like a family. They made a life-altering \"Toast for Change,\" where they all agreed to give themselves a chance to start life over. Inspired by the stories of the original Freedom Riders who fought segregation and prejudice, they called themselves The Freedom Writers. All the time they continued writing in their diaries.\"</p>\n<p>If this sounds familiar, it should. There was a movie made on the life of Erin Gruwell called \"The Freedom Writers\" starring Academy award winner Hilary Swank portraying Erin Gruwell. Because of her creativity, her courage, her caring, and her dedication to her students, Erin Gruwell is another of my hero-teachers.</p>\n<p>That is education\'s promise: Learning from the wisdom of yesterday, embracing the reality of today, so that we all can partake in the promise of a better tomorrow. By sacrificing their time, by making the classroom a sacred place of teaching and learning, great teachers make this promise. The promise that if we learn the lessons of the past, work hard and apply ourselves in the present, the future will indeed be a better place. In a sacred classroom with a caring and dedicated teacher, all things are imaginable and anything is possible. That is the promise of tomorrow. A sacred classroom is the greatest gift that we can give children.</p>\n<p>Now I am not some young, bright-eyed, Pollyanna idealist who thinks that if we just held hands and sing \"Kumbaya\", the whole world will become a better place. All the singing and hand-holding in the world will never change the fact that the world is a very dangerous and tragic place: Especially for children. In the last decade I have seen more children suffer than I care to admit. I know how truly important a good education is.</p>\n<p>I have seen children in several countries living and dying on the streets when they should have been in school. Like \"Jane Doe\", a sixteen year old pregnant girl from who spent the summer of 2009 selling her body to foreign men on the beaches of Thailand . And young children, barely 10 years old, selling everything from books to gum and candy to foreigners on the streets of Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City . I have met shoe-shine boys in Istanbul and have seen young girls strung out on drugs and lying in the gutters of Bangkok . I have seen children in the Philippines hold out their dirty but hopeful hands and beg for money when they should be in school. I have read the horror stories of young girls in Pakistan and Afghanistan who have had acid thrown in their face by religious extremists. Their only crime: Having the courage to go to school. I have also read the sad stories of young Southeast Asian boys being forced to work for slave wages in sweatshops, and young girls in India and the Middle-East being pulled from school and forced to marry much older men. They should be and remain in school.</p>\n<p>From Manila to Mexico , from Thailand to Turkey , I have seen innocent children living and dying on the street when they should be learning in school and dreaming of a better tomorrow. I don\'t want to see that anymore. It makes me sick. It is a constant and sickening reminder of how all of us, teachers and parents and guardians are failing children everywhere.</p>\n<p>According to Greg Mortenson, author of Stones into Schools and Three Cups of Tea, and quoted above, \"Today, there are over 120 million school-aged children on this planet who remain illiterate and are deprived of education due to gender discrimination, poverty, exploitation, religious extremism, and corrupt governments.\" (Stones into Schools, p. 381.)</p>\n<p>There are tens of millions of children all over the world who have never seen the inside of a classroom. And have never experienced the caring of a dedicated teacher: A teacher who makes the classroom a safe and sacred place and offers the promise of a better tomorrow.</p>\n<p>So if you\'re looking to hire a babysitter who, in the end, will not be allowed to do the hard work needed to properly educate a child, then don\'t hire me. I am not interested in becoming a babysitter. If you are looking for a foreigner to play the clown and treat every class like a birthday party at McDonald\'s, then pass me right by. I am not interested in playing the clown. But if you are looking for a teacher who is dedicated to the educational needs of the students, if you seek a caring teacher who will focus on education, who will put his students first, if you desire to work WITH a responsible teacher who will sacrifice his time and will treat the classroom like the sacred place it truly is, then I\'m your teacher.</p>\n<p>Education is not a game. It is not a toy. And it is certainly not an experiment. Education is an endeavor. It is a process. It is a calling from an entity higher than ourselves. Education is a mission which compels us to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and to leave a lasting legacy for years to come. To be given the opportunity to make the classroom a sacred place for teaching and learning is an honor and a privilege. To be given the chance to make a child\'s dreams come true is a huge responsibility; a responsibility I take seriously.</p>\n<p>So I must ask you: What kind of teacher are you looking for? Are you looking for a teacher who is responsible? A teacher who will put the needs of his students first? A dedicated teacher with the drive to succeed? A wise teacher who knows what needs to be done long before stepping into the classroom? A determined teacher who is process driven and results oriented? A caring teacher who loves teaching and cherishes the hopes and dreams of each of his students? A flexible teacher who can adapt to the demands of each lesson? A teacher who takes pride in sacrificing for his students? A teacher who makes the classroom a scared place for teaching and learning. A teacher who takes all the lessons of yesterday and today, and promises a better tomorrow. If you are looking for a teacher who does this, and more, then look no further than me. I would be pleased and honored to work with you to ensure the success of your students.</p>\n<p>I began this essay with a quote from Greg Mortenson\'s book, \"Stones into Schools.\" Greg knows better than most what happens when we don\'t tread the education of children with the reverence and respect that it deserves. Greg knows more than anyone what can happen when we dedicate ourselves to providing a good quality education to children. After all, Greg has dedicated the last two decades of his life helping to build schools and providing the miracle of education, especially for girls, in Pakistan and Afghanistan . Right in the heart of Taliban country!</p>\n<p>I will end this essay with a quote from a father. It could be any father. A father who just wants the best for his children. This father\'s name is Abdul Rashid Kahn. Mr. Kahn is the Amir, the leader of the Kirghiz people of the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan . When speaking with Mortenson one night in Afghanistan over dinner, Kahn said,</p>\n<p>\"All I really want for my people is a school so that we can provide education for our children. To achieve that, I am willing to give up all of my wealth--- all of my sheep, all of my camels, all of my yaks--- everything I have, if only Allah will grant this one request.\" (\"Stones into Schools\", p. 131.)</p>\n<p>Isn\'t this what we all want? To provide education for our children? Isn\'t this what every parent desires more than anything? We can have it. There is no reason why one child should be denied an education. We have put a man on the moon. We have developed the medical technology necessary to extend human life. All around the world hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty and have taken their rightful place in the middle-class just in the last two decades. There is no reason why any child should be denied an education.</p>\n<p>I know I have a part to play in all this. A small part, but an important part. And if you decide to hire me, my promise to you and the students is as essential as it is time-honored. I promise to be the guardian of each child\'s hopes and dreams; to dedicating myself to teaching and nurturing them; to letting them know that with hard work and by sacrificing their time to help others, there is nothing my students can\'t accomplish. My promise is my bond; a sacred covenant between myself and my students. Will we struggle? Yes. All great endeavors are worth the struggle. But by working together, we will accomplish great things. That is my promise. That is the promise of tomorrow.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;Thank you and I look forward to helping your students reach their full potential.</p>','','2010-02-02 17:41:53',1,'2010-02-02 17:41:53','2010-02-03 07:07:55'),(1253,10,'Thailand? yes we went there last weekend','thailand-yes-we-went-there-last-weekend','When one man\'s tropical paradise becomes everybody else\'s','I can vividly recall all the fuss and palaver that surrounded my first trip to Thailand all those years ago. My Aunt Jean – not the most traveled woman I\'ll admit – called me on the phone as I was packing a suitcase and reminded me to take a few bars of soap. ','<p>I\'ve been reconnecting with a few old school-friends on Facebook. We\'re talking pals from secondary school and even as far back as infant school here folks.</p>\n<p>These are guys I haven\'t seen since the days of short trousers, cowboys and indians, and finding ways to keep your conkers hard (British people will know what I mean)</p>\n<h3>Macka the Dunce</h3>\n<p>So who have I been rolling back the years with? Firstly there\'s \'Macka\'. I was friends with Macka purely on account of the fact we both shared the same birthday - and our respective grandmothers went to bingo together. Other than that, we didn\'t have a great deal in common.</p>\n<p>Macka never aspired to be anything other than the class dunce and while the majority of the class got to grips with basic maths, Macka would sit quietly in a corner licking Lego bricks and dribbling.</p>\n<h3>Wally the Scrapper</h3>\n<p>Wally was another one of my junior school pals. This time, sport was the common denominator. Wally and I both represented the school at football and cricket.</p>\n<p>Wally was also what was commonly referred to in those working-class days as &lsquo;the cock of the school\'. I never once saw him lose a playground fight or a &lsquo;scrap\' - those ten minute sessions of unarmed combat invariably broken up by a ferocious-looking dinner lady.</p>\n<p>Wally was short and wiry - and he was a tough nut. When it came to knocking seven shades out of another poor guy, size didn\'t matter. Wally just put his fists up and got on with it.</p>\n<p>In later years, he became one of the respected leaders of the notorious Zulus, a group of working-class football hooligans who followed Birmingham City Football Club.</p>\n<p>Wally\'s photograph and interviews appear prominently in several books on the topic of football violence. So as you can imagine, it was with some trepidation that I accepted Wally\'s friend request on Facebook.</p>\n<p>Would the passing years have mellowed him - or would he still have old scores to settle?</p>\n<p>We chatted a while about our schooldays and the paths our lives had taken since then. He asked if I still followed the same football team and I confessed that I was indeed still a big United fan.</p>\n<p>But naturally Wally was most interested in my life in Thailand. So I filled him in on a few details and generally made light of the subject. I didn\'t want to play the &lsquo;top-it\' game and make life sound over-exotic or interesting to someone who probably only left the neighborhood on Saturdays when there was a chance to duff up rival gangs of football supporters.</p>\n<p>However, I thought best be polite and ask Wally if he\'d ever ventured out this way before.</p>\n<p>\"Oh yes\" came the immediate reply. \"I was in Thailand about six years ago with a girlfriend and we spent a few days in Pattaya. We didn\'t care much for Pattaya though so we moved on to Koh Samui and spent some time there. At least a month if I remember right\"</p>\n<p>Let\'s leave Wally aside for a second and go back to Macka, the Lego-licking dunce from infant school who finally got his life together, emigrated to The U.S, met a nice local girl and started his own meals-on-wheels business.</p>\n<p>I had very much the same on-line conversation with Macka - except this time my old school-friend had travelled to parts of Thailand I\'d never even heard of.</p>\n<p>He\'d also gambled in the casinos of Macau, rode stallions bareback in Mongolia and got into the odd bar brawl in downtown Jakarta.</p>\n<p>The bugger had travel stories to keep you up all night.</p>\n<p>You\'re probably thinking by now - well, what\'s your point Phil? A few people have been to Thailand. So what? And in response I would say but it\'s not just a few is it. The bloody world and his uncle have been here.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Kirsty the Dentist</h3>\n<p>On my last trip back to the UK, who should I bump into but my old dentist. I used to see this lovely lady twice a year in the days when British people could afford to have their teeth checked. Or I should say the days when British people could even find a dentist.</p>\n<p>Anyway, over several appointments, Kirsty fitted a false tooth for me shortly before I left England to start a new life in Thailand. And for the next five years that damn tooth flew out every time I sneezed. And every time I would curse the dentist as I scrambled around in tall grass looking for my missing molar.</p>\n<p>But I was willing to let bygones be bygones and listened as Kirsty told me in great detail about the six trips she had made to Thailand over the last ten years. \"Oh Tony and I just love it there\" she said</p>\n<h3>Mick the Gaffer</h3>\n<p>Even my old boss and his wife had been to Thailand. And when I met up with them in Birmingham for a football match, they were thinking of booking up for a second trip.</p>\n<p>This was a guy who used to have a caravan in Towyn, the dullest and most boring seaside resort in Wales. Possibly the world. There are people who have lived all their lives in Towyn and still dream of days when it stops raining.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Years ago, going to Thailand was a trip into the unknown. And naturally family members were concerned. My Aunt Jean - not, it must be said, the most well-traveled woman - called me on the phone as I was packing a suitcase to remind me to take a few bars of soap.</p>\n<p>Earlier that week, she\'d seen a documentary which included footage of Thai kids bathing and splashing about in the local river - and she thought that\'s what we all had to do.</p>\n<p>For crying out loud, I had booked into a four-star hotel on the Sukhumwit Road.</p>\n<p>Would the porter accompany me to the room, point out the switch for the bedside light, go over the TV channels and then with a swish of the curtain say \"and there\'s the nearest canal if you fancy freshening up before dinner\"</p>\n<h3>Exotic</h3>\n<p>But back then Thailand was truly a destination on the other side of the world. There was something unutterably tropical and unexplored about it.</p>\n<p>Getting there involved a fifteen-hour flight with stop-offs in Frankfurt and Karachi. Then after Bangkok, the plane went on to Manila in The Philippines. I didn\'t even know what a bloody archipelago was. I\'d only ever been to Majorca - prononced with a hard J of course.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Even the free local newspaper got wind that there was a man in the community going to live in Thailand. They sent a photographer to my house to take snaps of yours truly holding up a Thailand guidebook. OK, it was probably a slow news day.</p>\n<p>WARD END MAN JETS OFF TO PARADISE screamed the following day\'s front page headline and accompanying photograph.</p>\n<p>It was directly above PENSIONER LOSES TOE IN COUNCIL DUSTBIN FIASCO and to the left of CAT SWALLOWS DIABETIC OWNER\'S LOTTERY TICKET</p>\n<p>And what about when I got to Thailand itself? What magical things would I see? Perhaps gigantic poisonous snakes being chased around a temple by co-joined twins wearing floppy trousers.</p>\n<p>Whatever happened, it promised to be a far cry from a chalkboard outside a pub in Majorca announcing half-price sangria and Sunderland versus Stoke City on a great big telly.</p>\n<h3>Be prepared</h3>\n<p>Everyone told me I would need inoculations - otherwise I might die. So I trotted off to the local health center to get a syringe-full of everything available. I had jabs for hepatitis A to hepatitis Zee and felt weak and dizzy for a fortnight. I had arms like pin cushions.</p>\n<p>I lapped up every bit of information I could uncover. Dehydration might be a serious problem - or so I read in one Sunday magazine article.</p>\n<p>The next day I was in the local pharmacy looking for salt tablets. I was the first customer to ever go in there to ask for something so utterly ridiculous.</p>\n<p>The pharmacist overheard the conversation, stuck his head through a serving hatch and sarcastically asked if I was going to run in a marathon. I told him I was going to Thailand and had read that dehydration was a potential killer - so let\'s have less of your lip.</p>\n<p>\"Thailand eh?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, Bangkok\"</p>\n<p>The pharmacist beckoned me to enter his private domain at the back of the shop. I could sense straight away that this was a man with dark secrets he wanted to share. I sat down on a chair surrounded by plastic bottles and pill scoops.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Thailand eh?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, Bangkok\"</p>\n<p>\"Would love to go myself but got married last year. Not exactly a place you would take the wife to if you get my drift\" He laughed at me through a mouthful of yellow teeth.</p>\n<p>I don\'t suppose I\'ll ever get the chance now\" he said ruefully.</p>\n<p>It\'s been well over twenty years since I last saw that pharmacist - but I\'ll bet he\'s been here at least a dozen times by now!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-11-23 06:55:24',1,'2015-11-23 06:55:24','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1270,21,'Phil\'s Memory Lane','phils-memory-lane','Now you see it, now you don\'t.','A light-hearted look at some of the things Bangkokians once took for granted but are now nothing more than a distant memory. Your contributions welcome.','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>The Bangkok Microbus</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/micro1.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />In the days when the skytrain and the subway system were mere figments of the&nbsp;imagination and something best left to other Asian cities, you had three options&nbsp;for getting from A to B. You either&nbsp;took your chances with a clapped-out old taxi or rode the public bus. Or you walked.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then along came the Bangkok microbus. A fleet of brand-new&nbsp;vehicles&nbsp;offering a&nbsp;stress-free alternative to&nbsp;hours spent squashed&nbsp;on a normal Thai bus&nbsp;with your nose pressed&nbsp;against&nbsp;a stranger\'s sweaty armpit and your bum in an office girl\'s packed lunch. Aimed&nbsp;primarily at the Thai middle-classes and the more discerning commuter, the Microbus had a strict no standing policy. If there were no free seats on&nbsp;board, the driver didn\'t stop, regardless of how many passengers at the bus stop gestured&nbsp;frantically or questioned the driver\'s parentage.</p>\n<p>Inside, the buses were spotlessly&nbsp;clean. There was no chewing gum pressed&nbsp;against the underside of each seat and there were no crude drawings of schoolboy&nbsp;genitalia.&nbsp;&nbsp;The driver wore something resembling a uniform and&nbsp;a&nbsp;TV screen&nbsp;showed educational programs and the odd&nbsp;pop music&nbsp;video. In the early days, the service even employed a dolly bird to hand you your ticket and&nbsp;then walk up and down&nbsp;the aisle with a tray of&nbsp;dainty sandwiches and sensibly priced snacks. This was bus travel as it was meant to be. The fare was set at 20 baht (a considerable&nbsp;sum&nbsp;at the time) and as my father would say -&nbsp;it kept out the riff-raff.</p>\n<p>It\'s difficult to say exactly&nbsp;when the decline&nbsp;set in, but once they dispensed with the hostesses, it all went downhill pretty sharpish. The drivers - for so long the epitome of good manners and&nbsp;commendable standards - became tired of seeing their&nbsp;loutish bus-driving&nbsp;Thai counterparts have all the fun.&nbsp;The Microbus drivers were clearly missing out. They too&nbsp;wanted to be able to drop off passengers in the middle of a four-lane highway and to accelerate past a bus stop whenever they simply couldn\'t&nbsp;be arsed to stop.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>To woo back&nbsp;the commuters&nbsp;and arrest falling passenger numbers, the Microbus company reduced the fare&nbsp;from 25 baht to 20 baht&nbsp;and then as low as 15.&nbsp;In the end no one had a clue what the fare was. I remember asking one driver and he just shrugged his shoulders.&nbsp;The buses&nbsp;went from dusty to dirty to filthy. The&nbsp;TVs&nbsp;stopped working. Even the ticket machine was either broken and hanging off the door panel or would spew out a hundred tickets for each passenger.&nbsp;The end was nigh.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Yoshinoya</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/yoshinoya1.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />Opening a fast-food franchise in Bangkok has always been a gamble, but few franchises came and went quite as spectacularly as Yoshinoya, the Japanese fast-food chain that specializes in shredded beef served over a bowl of rice. I\'ve been in branches of Yoshinoya in Tokyo and they\'re generally busy. In Hong Kong,&nbsp;punters are queuing five deep at the counter and the assistants can barely cope.&nbsp;So what went wrong opening a Japanese restaurant in a city where come lunchtime in most Bangkok shopping malls, there isn\'t a spare seat in a Japanese restaurant anywhere?</p>\n<p>I include Yoshinoya in this \'memory lane\' section&nbsp;because one of the&nbsp;branches opened on Ramkhamhaeng Road near to a school I was working in at the time. Although the menu was limited,&nbsp;Yoshinoya made a refreshing change from the bland dishes served up at the local food court or heaven forbid,&nbsp;it beat taking the short walk to McDonalds and experiencing&nbsp;that overwhelming&nbsp;sense of gastronomic&nbsp;failure you get from ordering a Big Mac and fries.</p>\n<p>Yoshinoya was&nbsp;always a \'teacher\'s special treat\' though. Whereas a meal could be had for around 60 baht in McDonalds, Yoshinoya was charging a hefty hundred baht plus for its signature beef bowl. Teachers might have been stupid enough to pay&nbsp;that twice but not the frugal folks of Ramkhamhaeng. Within six months the restaurant&nbsp;had closed down and the other branch on Silom Road followed shortly after.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">BTS Shuttle Bus</span></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/bts-shuttle.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />The idea was very simple -&nbsp;to have a small fleet of modern buses that would ferry skytrain passengers from outlying residential areas to the main skytrain stations, saving them both time and money and encouraging more and more people to let the train take the strain. It was a fine idea in principle but as is often the case in Thailand - the execution was lousy. I could see a huge flaw in the system from day one.</p>\n<p>The service was basically&nbsp;free to all skytrain passengers on production of a pink ticket that you got from the&nbsp;ticket office at the station.&nbsp;The biggest problem the company faced was identifying who was a bona fide skytrain user and who wasn\'t.&nbsp;The system was a complete joke. All you had to do was ask the kindly lady at the ticket office for some BTS shuttle bus tickets and she would hand you a book of about&nbsp;fifty. And if there\'s a system&nbsp;to be abused, then Bangkokians will find a way to abuse it.&nbsp;Shuttle bus tickets got into the \'wrong hands\' and the buses became a convenient free&nbsp;service for&nbsp;locals who had never been on the skytrain&nbsp;in their lives. It became the transportation of choice for street urchins and air-conditioned luxury travel for the&nbsp;mothers and fathers of street urchins.&nbsp;The rest as they say is history.</p>\n<p>There is still sometimes a&nbsp;shuttle bus service that runs from BTS Onnud station to the BITEC exhibition centre in Bang Na. I never take&nbsp;the shuttle bus&nbsp;despite BITEC being fairly near where I live, but I do see passengers queuing for it. And there isn\'t a suit or briefcase in sight. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Popeyes</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/popeyes1.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />I find the idea of a meal consisting of chicken and biscuits to be perplexing at the best of times, but Popeyes is&nbsp;clearly a very popular franchise restaurant&nbsp;in the US so who am I to rock the boat. Alas, if you open a fast food restaurant bang&nbsp;opposite Patpong, Bangkok\'s premier entertainment zone, with&nbsp;hundreds of pissed up&nbsp;foreigners all with a&nbsp;life-threatening&nbsp;case of the munchies - and your restaurant is still empty - then I guess you\'re in real trouble. Such was the case with Popeyes. You could go in any night of the week&nbsp;and have&nbsp;whole sections of the restaurant to yourself.</p>\n<p>The odd&nbsp;adventurous Thai person would occasionally wander in, look at the menu, scratch their head in bewilderment and walk straight out. You could see them thinking&nbsp;\"Ok the two pieces of chicken I get but what do I do with the biscuits or the scones? Is that meant to be dipped in the strawberry jam? Or perhaps&nbsp;you spread the jam all over the chicken?\"</p>\n<p>Didn\'t stand a chance.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>The Tax Clearance System</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/tax_office.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />If you think the whole Thailand visa conundrum is a headache now, just be glad that you weren\'t here in the 90\'s -&nbsp;and the days of the tax clearance system.&nbsp;If you&nbsp;had lived or&nbsp;stayed in Thailand for more than 90 days, you needed a tax clearance certificate to show immigration on departure at the airport. It was a piece of paper that the immigration officer took off you and filed in the nearest waste paper bin, so going to get the certificate at a pokey little building&nbsp;in Banglamphu became the ultimate fool\'s errand.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The tax office had no queuing system. There was none of that civilized taking a&nbsp;ticket and sitting patiently until your number was called. There were just&nbsp;one or two&nbsp;windows behind which sat two stressed and harrassed-looking&nbsp;administration officers and it ended up as survival of the person with the sharpest elbows. The whole system was chaos. You dreaded a&nbsp;visit to the tax office in&nbsp;Banglampoo from the moment you arrived and&nbsp;filled out the usual badly designed form to the moment - probably an hour or two later -&nbsp;you squeezed yourself out of the door assaulting a dozen Arabs in the process.</p>\n<p>When the&nbsp;tax clearance system was scrapped, foreign residents danced in the streets. I know I did.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Washington Square Cinema</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/washington1.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />In the days before the Bangkok multiplex movie theaters,&nbsp;with their VIP love seats, touch screen booking and buckets of popcorn you can barely hold with both hands, moviegoers were severely limited in where to catch the latest Hollywood blockbuster. There was the Lido Siam Square with its screens the size of a large beach-towel and the clammy, cavernous&nbsp;Scala, also in Siam Square.</p>\n<p>And then there was Washington Square Movie Theater between Sukhumwit 22 and 24. I\'ve always retained a great fondness for the Washington ever since I took my Mom and&nbsp;Dad&nbsp;there to see Jurassic Park and they slept through the entire film. At one point my Dad\'s snoring even&nbsp;drowned out the dinosaur fights.</p>\n<p>There was always&nbsp;something strangely reassuring about&nbsp;seeing a film at&nbsp;The Washington. Bangkok had nothing like the after-dark options it has now, and The Washington - hard though it is to believe now - still represented \'a decent&nbsp;night out\' Was it&nbsp;having to step over the odd soi dog as the&nbsp;ticket queue shuffled forwards? Was it the unmistakeable&nbsp;waft of urine from the gent\'s toilets? Or was it the&nbsp;dampness of the&nbsp;battered red velvet seats? Who knows but I bet you miss&nbsp;all of&nbsp;that as much as I do.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The evening would invariably start with a snifter or two at a neighboring Washington Square bar. I found&nbsp;an hour&nbsp;of listening to&nbsp;retired Texan oilheads berating the Thai bar staff and generally acting like a&nbsp;tit, the perfect hors d\'oeuvre to an evening in front of the big screen.&nbsp;You just had to make sure you didn\'t arrive too early to purchase tickets at the box office.</p>\n<p>This meant&nbsp;sitting on&nbsp;wooden benches in the non-air-conditioned&nbsp;waiting area&nbsp;waiting for the previous show to end. Once the moviegoers&nbsp;started filing out, you could stand up, readjust your clammy underpants and choose any of the&nbsp;seats not occupied by either a cat or a homeless person.</p>\n<p>As more and more movie theaters opened up around the city,&nbsp;The Washington lost&nbsp;any appeal it had&nbsp;and was transformed into a transvestite cabaret. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>The Pizza Hut All-You-Can-Eat Buffet</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/pizza-hut.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"100\" />It only lasted a couple of years but every Wednesday afternoon, all roads led to Pizza Hut for their weekly all-you-could-eat buffet for an unbelievable 75 baht per&nbsp;head. Nowadays&nbsp;that will barely get you a side order of onion rings but for&nbsp;75 baht,&nbsp;in a three or four-hour window, you could sit with a group of&nbsp;your chums and all gorge yourself stupid, as the waitresses brought you unlimited pizza slices&nbsp;washed down with huge&nbsp;jugs of Pepsi. There was no catch. There was no membership card. You&nbsp;simply stuffed pizza down you until&nbsp;tomato and&nbsp;mozarella cheese leaked out of your ears.</p>\n<p>But nothing good lasts forever. Groups of Thai teenagers and schoolkids bent the rules by&nbsp;craftily eating the pizza centres and leaving&nbsp;the substantial crusts&nbsp;on a communal plate. Pizza Hut was never going to stand for that.&nbsp;You might say the schoolkids&nbsp;ruined it for the rest of us. Yet another reason I\'ve found to hate teenagers.</p>\n<p>While we are on the&nbsp;delightful subject of all-you-can-eat and drink&nbsp;deals, let\'s give a special&nbsp;mention to Thai restaurant chain, Dailomon, and their&nbsp;magnanimous&nbsp;decision in the mid 1990\'s&nbsp;to&nbsp;run an all-you-can-drink beer&nbsp;promotion for just 99 baht. I&nbsp;shudder to think what the guy who dreamed up the promotion is doing now, but I\'m guessing it involves touching shit with his bare hands.</p>\n<p>One thing is for certain - he had no concept of just how much ale&nbsp;some foreigners can sup. And as the last German tourist&nbsp;staggered down the street before sunset, pausing only&nbsp;to&nbsp;empty the contents of his stomach&nbsp;in a small sub-soi,&nbsp;the Dailoman management team shook their heads and&nbsp;realised they had committed something akin to&nbsp;business suicide.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you have any more \'memory lane\' contributions, please let me know.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/microbus.jpg','2010-05-20 06:01:45',1,'2010-05-20 06:01:45','2015-08-12 19:07:46'),(1312,52,'February 2010','february-2010','Latest update on Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Find out all the latest news on TEFL course promotions, starting dates, etc. Why not take your course in Thailand and get off to the perfect start!','<p>International House&nbsp;now has three permanent TEFL trainers.

So what\'s going on exactly?','<p>A teacher e-mailed&nbsp;ajarn.com in a state of&nbsp;considerable distress. The teacher stands accused of touching and/or hitting&nbsp;a student and angry parents are forming a lynch mob outside the school gates. The teacher has referred to the whole incident as a \'storm in a glass of water\' but delve deeper and could this simply be&nbsp;a case of an employer wanting to get rid of a teacher and any old excuse will do?&nbsp;Unlawfully touching a student just happens to be the most convenient.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The story starts predictably with an unruly afternoon&nbsp;class of teenagers, whizzed up on a lethal lunchtime cocktail of fizzy&nbsp;drinks and candy from the corner shop. Notebooks are being flung about the classroom, no one is sitting in the correct seat. It\'s bedlam. At the centre of things is a poor teacher struggling to keep control and failing dismally.&nbsp;But miraculously the lesson eventually gets underway.</p>\n<p>The teacher asks a student to come and write something on the whiteboard. The student is having none of it. Can\'t do it. Won\'t do it. Who knows? The student just stands there&nbsp;at the board&nbsp;relishing&nbsp;her place&nbsp;in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Could it&nbsp;be construed as a \'shove\'?&nbsp;Whichever way you look at it, at the end of the school day, the student has&nbsp;rushed home to tell Mom and Mom\'s beating a warpath to the principal\'s office. It\'s time for a meeting of all those concerned - the guilty, the innocent and those we aren\'t yet sure about.</p>\n<p>Suddenly a teacher with several years service at the same school and up to that point,&nbsp;without a single stain on their character, is accused of all&nbsp;sorts of monkey business. The teacher offers to \'apologize\' to the student&nbsp;but according to the principal -&nbsp;\"the student is too scared to face her punisher\". There is only one possible outcome. The teacher has to go.</p>\n<p>But in some&nbsp;bizarre ironic twist - the teacher is asked if they would serve out the rest of the semester. In any other country in the world, if the teacher was truly guilty or even&nbsp;suspected of&nbsp;being guilty, they would be immediately&nbsp;escorted off the premises by&nbsp;a security official&nbsp;with a face like prison bread.</p>\n<p>The story&nbsp;poses&nbsp;many questions, not least of all what can a teacher do in this situation? How far should a teacher be able to go in order to keep control of a rowdy class? And most importantly - how does this affect a&nbsp;teacher\'s future employment opportunities? Have any of you teachers out there&nbsp;been in the same boat? How did you handle the situation? Or perhaps you want to make a comment?</p>\n<p>In my opinion this could&nbsp;be the classic case of a teacher outstaying their welcome. Sadly, there are schools that view this kind of scenario as manna from Heaven. Faced with the&nbsp;\'awful\' and awkward&nbsp;task of sitting down face-to-face&nbsp;with a teacher and telling them their services are no longer required due to budget constraints or something equally plausible, along comes the perfect exit strategy. A student complains and&nbsp;the teacher is made a scapegoat. But of course it\'s&nbsp;a far&nbsp;better way for a school to get rid of you than simply telling you they don\'t have any money.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/handonknob.gif','2010-02-12 22:54:55',0,'2010-02-12 22:54:55','2010-02-13 14:02:56'),(1318,53,'ESL industry analysis','esl-industry-analysis','How attractive to a potential teacher is the ESL industry as a whole?','One of the most common tools used to analyze an industry\'s attractiveness is Porters Five Forces Model developed by the famous Harvard professor and management guru, Michael Porter.','<p>When thinking about becoming an ESL teacher or when current teachers plan their careers, an objective examination of the industry and how it operates can help these individuals make better decisions.\n<p>The world-wide ESL industry is an industry and is shaped by market forces, and language school owners, DOSs, and educational managers need to take financial as well as educational factors into consideration when making all types of decisions which include deciding on the number of students to put into each class and the pay rates for teachers.</p>\n<p>Wishing otherwise and ranting about it does not change this fact.</p>\n<p>One of the most common tools used to analyze an industry\'s attractiveness is Porters Five Forces Model developed by the famous Harvard professor and management guru, Michael Porter.</p>\n<p>A look at the ESL industry from the perspective of an ESL teacher using this framework might be an interesting and thought-provoking exercise.</p>\n<p><strong>Porters Five Forces include:</strong></p>\n<p>Supplier power<br />Barriers to entry <br />Buyer power<br />Threat of substitutes<br />Degree of Rivalry</p>\n<p>Supplier power. Low power of suppliers makes an industry more attractive and high power of suppliers makes an industry less attractive. Suppliers have almost no power in the ESL industry.</p>\n<p><strong>Barriers to entry.</strong></p>\n<p>Low barriers to entry make an industry attractive for those outside the industry, but for existing firms, or in our case, existing teachers, low barriers to entry make the industry less attractive and less profitable as the low barriers to entry keep competition for jobs and customers high even when demand rises.</p>\n<p>In many professions, such as being a brain surgeon or a nuclear engineer, the barriers to entry into the professions are very high which limits the number of new individuals entering the professions, at least in the short term. Assuming the demand for these professionals is high, these high barriers to entry usually result in higher salaries as competition between employers for hiring these individuals is high. <br /><br />In general, the barriers to entry for ESL teachers are low. The primary requirement for becoming an ESL teacher is a good understanding of the English language, which includes most native English speakers and many others. For many, one can go from a totally unrelated profession to become an ESL teacher in a matter of days. If a 4-week training course certificate becomes a mandatory qualification, it would only raise the barrier to entry slightly as one could still go from a totally unrelated profession to becoming an ESL teacher in less than 2 months.</p>\n<p>Without wanting to engage in the endless debate as to whether teachers should be required to have a degree or not, existing teachers who advocate that all teachers should be required to have a degree are probably less interested in the education of the students as they are in raising the barriers to entry to the profession which is intended to benefit those currently teaching. It is speculated that raising the barriers to entry of the profession will not have much impact on teachers\' salaries due to the other three forces we will exam next. Whether or not raising the barriers to entry by increasing levels of qualifications required in the profession would result in better education for the students is a debate for others more qualified than I to engage in.</p>\n<p><strong>Buyer power</strong></p>\n<p>In general, the more options for buyers, the more power they have and the less attractive is the industry. The fewer options that buyers have, the more attractive the industry as sellers can get away with charging higher prices. For students going to public primary and high schools, the \"customer\" may have little choice and has to accept the teachers presented to them. But in much of the ESL industry, buyers have substantial choices which increases competition, brings down prices and therefore limits the salaries schools can pay. The relatively high bargaining power of the buyers generally puts downward pressure on salaries paid to ESL teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Threat of substitutes</strong></p>\n<p>When there are multiple ways to meet specific needs, the greater the threat of substitutes and the less attractive the industry. There are varying degrees of substitutes. Substituting a meal of pork and rice for a meal of chicken and rice is a pretty close substitute to end hunger for many people. But, while substituting riding the bus for putting gasoline in one\'s car does satisfy one\'s need for transportation, it is a fairly distant substitute. .</p>\n<p>There are many substitutes, both close and distant that limit the attractiveness of and the ability to pay high wages in the ESL industry. For native English speaking teachers, a close, but imperfect, substitute is non-native speaking teachers of English. Whether or not native English teachers are better than non-native speaking teachers of English is a debate I am neither qualified nor interested in engaging in, but we do know the market values native English speakers over non-native speakers of English in the ESL industry. However, the willingness of the market to pay native over non-native speakers is limited. Students may be willing to 1.5 or 2 times as much to learn with native English speakers, but few students would be willing to pay 3 to 5 times as much. The availability of this substitute will always limit the salaries of the majority of native speaking ESL teachers.</p>\n<p>There are many other substitutes for students instead of paying money to take English lessons. An important substitute and one that is likely to increase with improvements in technology is self-study. But the most important substitute is the option to not study English at all. For most students, studying English is not an absolute requirement, instead it is often an investment in one\'s future. However, if the current costs are too great, forgoing English lessons is an option available to many students and this substitute will always limit the amount all but the most elite schools can charge and which of course limits the amount schools can pay teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Degree of Rivalry</strong></p>\n<p>In some industries companies fight tooth and nail for every customer resulting in low profits for almost everyone in the industry, the current airline industry is a good example of this. In other industries, competition is less fierce and competitors do not try to run others out of the industry resulting in higher overall profits and ability to pay higher wages for most organizations within the industry.</p>\n<p>The degree of rivalry in the ESL industry probably averages out as moderate, at least in Thailand. In the private school and university sectors the rivalry for students does not generally appear to be very intense, but in the language school and corporate training sectors the degree of rivalry might be considered fairly high.</p>\n<p>There are many ways ESL schools, teachers and businesses compete. First is price. Price matters to the vast majority of the customers. Although this does not mean customers automatically seek out the lowest possible price, but there is only very limited space in the top end of the market and the vast majority in the business need to maintain competitive prices to attract business. This need to maintain competitive prices results in downward pressure on profits and ability to pay high salaries.</p>\n<p>Educational quality is very difficult to measure, therefore customers often take into consideration the institution\'s reputation when making purchasing decisions. Therefore competition by reputation is an important factor in the industry. Reputation is a very important selling point in the university and private school sectors. We also see some of the most successful language schools remain successful year after year and much of this can probably be attributed to the reputation of these institutions. How can a positive reputation be created? It appears it can be done through a combination of appearance of the school, the perceived quality of instructors and a campaign of brand building.</p>\n<p>It is important to mention, quality of teaching staff is very difficult to measure, and it is the perception of the customers of the quality that really matters from a financial standpoint. Therefore it is not surprising the personality of the teacher is often more important than qualifications is creating the perception of quality. Schools gain a reputation for being good schools by providing teachers that students perceive as being of high quality. The golden rule of business is the customer is always right and customers determine what is quality, not the service providers. Schools who provide teachers the students don\'t like are not likely to stay in business for long.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>\n<p>Looking at these five forces, we can see the ESL industry is not the most attractive choice of occupation from a financial standpoint and the low barriers to entry, the relatively high bargaining power of buyers, the substantial threat of substitutes and the moderately intense level of rivalry will always limit the financial rewards one can expect from teaching English or otherwise becoming involved in the ESL industry.</p>\n<p>But what the use of Porters Five Forces Analysis does not identify are the intangible benefits of joining the profession. Being an ESL teacher allows one to travel the world while getting paid. Also there is the joy one gets from helping students achieve their goals and watching the students grow personally. For most, teaching English is a fairly low stress occupation and many are willing to trade some income for this lower level of stress. While not being a high paid profession, teaching English in foreign lands does have a number of attractive features.</p>\n<p>The purpose of this article is neither to encourage nor discourage individuals from becoming or remaining ESL teachers, but to provide some food for thought so each individual thinking of becoming an ESL teacher, making a decision about staying in teaching or thinking about how to advance within the ESL teaching profession can make a more informed choice.</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher often teaches strategic management, as well as other subjects, at a variety of universities and is the author of <a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm</a>,<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective,</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n</p>','','2010-02-16 02:34:52',1,'2010-02-16 02:34:52','2010-02-16 16:04:53'),(1327,54,'How safe is your money in a bank?','how-safe-is-your-money-in-a-bank','Most people think their money is safe in a bank – safe as houses, yeah?','Where can your money get more protection and work for you while you are working in Thailand?','<p>Most people think that their money is safe in a bank - safe as houses, yeah? Well, all that came crashing down with the financial crash at the end of 2008 and the subprime housing market collapse. At the time, some governments, such as Ireland smartly guaranteed your deposit 100% (although, only for a period of 2 years) in order to keep money onshore and try to attract inflows of money. Although, it is much easier for the Irish Government to cover &pound;560 Billion than the UK\'s &pound;1.8 Trillion. The UK Government only guarantees the first &pound;50,000. The U.S. Government has guaranteed the first $100,000 in the bank since the Great Depression. They have now increased that to $250,000. The Australian Government guarantees ZERO. That\'s right, if an Australian bank goes bust, you have to get at the end of the queue for the creditors begging like Oliver. That means you may have to wait 6 months or more before you can get your hands on your own money.\n<p>So, where can your money get more protection? In the UK, the Post Office and a National Savings account is guaranteed 100%. But, the most flexible way to treat your money if you live in Thailand is to hold your money offshore in a tax free haven like the Isle of Man or Guernsey (both under the British Crown), which guarantee at least 90% of your money should the company go bust. Even better, it grows tax free and you can hold it in anything from cash, government bonds, shares or mutual funds, which means rather than getting close to 0% at a bank, your money can grow at between 5% and 12%+ (depending on how your hold your cash). You can then cash these in chunks and send them to your bank in Thailand. So, your money is protected and it grows at a much faster rate.

If you’re going on holiday either in or out of Thailand, lucky old you, I hope that you have a great time. ','<p>I\'d like to begin by thanking another forum out there for bringing my musings to an even wider audience by cutting and pasting my February article into their pages. The critique given, while amusing, was off-kilter though because the piece was so obviously intended for new teachers or those looking for a fresh perspective.\n<p>So, school is out. If you\'re going on holiday either in or out of Thailand, lucky old you, I hope that you have a great time. The closest I\'ll get this half of the year will be the gentle Pi Mai festival in Laos to escape the onslaught of Songkran. Fortunately the two coincide. Six days this year? Then on the seventh I shall recross!</p>\n<p>Here\'s my teaching diary until the new school year:</p>\n<p><strong>MARCH</strong><br />The first half of this is usually very quiet for me and I normally just mix the sweltering Isaan sunshine with the cheapest beer in the country. Both are off limits to me this year for health reasons and for once I\'m not complaining!</p>\n<p>However, I have been given the opportunity to help an adult prepare for an overseas trip. It\'ll be the students\' first time out of the country and I\'m always happy to help a local who finds themselves with what must be an exciting but daunting proposition.</p>\n<p>I have several friends who have traveled throughout Central and South America and they say that you are absolutely stuck unless you can speak Spanish [or Portuguese in Brazil just to be picky]. All hail the picture dictionary!</p>\n<p>Do you remember those crappy phrase books that your parents used to buy before a family holiday in a non-English speaking country?</p>\n<p>Well, I\'m going to be combining the intention of those with the directness of a picture dictionary, but I\'ve only got 3 hours a week for 4 weeks to do it in.</p>\n<p>Thankfully, the EFL section of about.com has come to my rescue. The site itself has been around for years [it was one of the first dot.coms to go public I believe, and it\'s STILL here!] and its EFL section is substantial.</p>\n<p>Just like the games section of Dave\'s ESL Caf&eacute;, the site is not something that should be resorted to in a hurry.</p>\n<p>It isn\'t very well ordered, search results bring back more things that you didn\'t ask for than what you did and quite often the same content is repeated under different link names.</p>\n<p>But take your time and it\'s pretty much all there: handouts, dialogues, quizzes and audio, for both on- and offline use, in class and at home. But you\'ll need to go to Google Images for complementary pictures though.</p>\n<p><strong>LATE MARCH/EARLY APRIL</strong><br />This is where about 30% of my regular weekday students return for special summer classes. I teach two 1.5 hour classes a day both of which are always good fun.</p>\n<p>Rather than decline these classes I embrace them because I normally have class sizes of 50+ students and special summer classes give me the chance to build an even better rapport with many of my best and favourite students.</p>\n<p>I teach P1 to 4 and for me basic grammar is normally taboo until P4 because the majority of students are not particularly motivated by it. Would you be if you had a Ben 10 comic or a Little Princess dress &lsquo;n\' colour book burning away in your bag?</p>\n<p>Local teaching support isn\'t available for these classes and I find that I don\'t need it.</p>\n<p>I play an energy burning English game at the start of each class, for example Chair/Prepositions where I have students make a well spaced line with their chairs and then call out instructions, i.e. &lsquo;stand on your chair\', &lsquo;put your head under your chair\', etc. The last one to complete an instruction is out and the last player in wins.</p>\n<p>Regardless of the smiles and laughs you may get the first time out, if students don\'t ask to play a particular game again, either immediately or sometime shortly there afterwards, then don\'t play it again. Take it as a cue. Yes, you scored on that one occasion but it was an own goal and luckily for you a semi-amusing one.</p>\n<p>Once students are settled, I start to introduce basic grammar and the subsequent verbal, writing and quiz activities that follow it, i.e. What is a noun? I always write up a few examples on the board and then elicit further responses from students.</p>\n<p>I then move on to the next column, i.e. verbs, adjectives, etc.</p>\n<p>By the end of the summer program, students read texts and are able to identify grammar words by circling them in different colours, ie. red = noun, green = adjective, blue = verb, etc.</p>\n<p>I always play background music as I find that this relaxes students even further and if they know the songs and can sing along with them while they\'re working, then even better. For some reason Robbie Williams\' \"She\'s The One\" goes down an absolute storm with P2 to 4!</p>\n<p><strong>LATE APRIL</strong><br />Now that the dust and talcum powder have caked firmly over the new year celebrations, I have the pleasure of teaching two M4, 5 or 6 classes a day.</p>\n<p>I\'m always very clear about one thing. Were this an English speaking or European country, this time would still be holiday time for these students, all of whom during term time have to study for six days a week and have to complete mountains of homework.</p>\n<p>I make it so that I AM their summer holiday and I make my classes as fun and lively as possible.</p>\n<p>As mentioned previously, I teach P1 to 4 and there is a massive leap between 3 and 4. In the latter, English suddenly starts to become a lot more complicated.</p>\n<p>You can see this is in the textbooks. Photographs and more grown-up pictures start to replace cartoon-style drawings and much larger blocks of text and comprehension activities begin appearing everywhere. But it doesn\'t stop at P4; it goes on all the way to M6.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve suddenly raised an eyebrow then you\'ve got my point.</p>\n<p>Back to my M4, 5 or 6 summer classes. I always start and finish with team games and the rowdier the better. This prepares and rewards students for the interesting/engaging English activities that I give them.</p>\n<p>NB these have to be trendy and teen focused otherwise you\'ll lose them.</p>\n<p>I use Thai teen and TV gossip magazines and introduce and build up listening, speaking, reading and writing activities around the pictures and people in them.</p>\n<p>With the help of students, I use the Internet and a projector to find Thai music and movie sites and do the same as above.</p>\n<p>If there\'s a major sporting event on, this we have the World Cup of course, I always do activities around these. Girls are just as interested in football as boys but sometimes for slightly different reasons.</p>\n<p>I always allocate students into workgroups of 5 or 6. It takes the pressure off of the weaker students and allows everybody to play at least a small part.</p>\n<p>As a reward, I let students throw their own party on the last day, whereby they bring snacks, soft drinks and music, etc.</p>\n<p>Not long &lsquo;til May, eh?</p>\n</p>','','2010-02-19 21:43:46',1,'2010-02-19 21:43:46','2010-02-20 11:11:47'),(1341,55,'Encouraging observations','encouraging-observations','TEN welcomed Alan S Mackenzie as its February guest speaker','Set up to create an environment in which educators can discuss personal concerns and to establish a positive forum for teaching opportunities in Thailand. We meet every month at the Roadhouse Barbecue.','<p>Alan Mackenzie, East Asia Regional Project Teacher Training Manager from the British Council led the 25+ Thailand Educators Network attendees into and through a comprehensive presentation concerning many teachers\' greatest fear - being observed in class by administrators, teaching supervisors and even colleagues.\n<p>Fully aware of the sensitive nature of his presentation, Alan began by asking three pertinent questions related to teacher observations that helped to shed light on the diverse experiences and expectations teachers have: What happens in your school? What would you like to happen in your school? How could this happen?</p>\n<p>With a shared view of how many teachers regard observations, Alan moved through a series of wh- questions concluding with concrete suggestions to employ when observing others or when reflecting on our own teaching.</p>\n<p>In answering his first question, why is reflecting on teaching important, a number of ideas were raised including the fact that reflection encourages critical thinking, helps many teachers to make better informed decisions concerning classroom materials and management, increases confidence and abilities and helps to create better practitioners.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, he moved to his second question - why encourage observation - and suggested that observations are an excellent way to learn about new methods; stimulate reflection on teaching, promote intra-faculty communication and, as many teachers present agreed, encourages learners in classes being observed to perform better.</p>\n<p>The answer to who should observe included as would be expected, peer-to-peer observation and the various permutations of experience levels between the observer and the one being observed. Alan also suggested that observations do not need to be centered on the teacher, but could also include visiting classes to specifically observe the learners or the material being used.</p>\n<p>Having already touched on the typical case in most schools in that observations are a one-time a year event, conducted by an administrator for contract renewal purposes, Alan suggested that observation were also useful when a new project is being implemented; when a teacher reports a successful learning event or a problem, when implementing a new idea and finally, when a manager notices a problem.</p>\n<p>Having clearly defined why, who and when, Alan moved into the core of his talk and dealt with how observations should be conducted. First, classroom observation should be developmental and not judgmental; should also be seen as a two-way dialogue to be encouraged between peers.</p>\n<p>Before the lesson talk through the plan, find out about students\' previous learning, ask questions about the plan, and if necessary, make suggestions for improvements. During the lesson keep a complete and accurate record of what is going on and include notes as to learner responses and language use. Finally, immediately after the lesson review these notes, give the teacher a copy and ask them to read through and add comments for a discussion to be arranged later.</p>\n<p>Alan also recommended that when observing teachers, the idea that sitting at the back of the room to avoid disturbing the class was, in fact, misleading in that no matter where the observer sits, students will be nervous. Instead, he suggested, sit mid-way toward the front, perhaps to one side, offering an opportunity to observe student reactions during the lesson.</p>\n<p>Challenged on this point by a few teachers, Alan argued that he would even recommend sitting in the middle of the room and, if need be, move around. \"While students,\" he agreed, \"will be a bit nervous at first, they quickly adjust to the observer\'s presence and classroom dynamics should return to normal.\"</p>\n<p>Returning to his core theme that observations should be developmental and not judgmental, Alan detailed how he saw this dichotomy reflected in the language employed by an observer when discussing an observation.</p>\n<p>Judgmental language, Alan suggested includes statements such as good, bad, fine, ok, you should..., if I were you, I\'d... and you didn\'t...</p>\n<p>A non-judgmental approach would be reflected in comments that could include: if you were to do it again, what would you change; when X happened, did the learners do what you expected? Why?</p>\n<p>Adding to these ideas, Alan recommended highlighting positive behaviour, I like the way you...<br />You got good results when... The students responded very actively to... You set up that activity very efficiently.</p>\n<p>Adding to this repertoire of ideas to highlight the positive, Alan suggested teacher observations could be very useful in helping to identify talent and to encourage teachers to share it with their colleagues either as a short demonstration or in a how-to paper.</p>\n<p>Alan also reviewed the need to encourage self-reflection:</p>\n<p>&bull; Why do you think that happened?<br />&bull; What made that activity go well?<br />&bull; How do you think you could get better results?<br />&bull; What could you do to support the learners more?</p>\n<p>Offered concrete suggestions to encourage change:</p>\n<p>&bull; Have you ever tried...?<br />&bull; What do you think about trying...?<br />&bull; What might happen if you...<br />&bull; Do you think learners would respond positively to...?<br />&bull; In the past, I have (seen other teachers)...?<br />&bull; Do you think that approach might appeal to your learners?</p>\n<p>And to promote action:</p>\n<p>&bull; So, how are you going to do it differently next time?<br />&bull; When are you going to try this new idea?<br />&bull; Why don\'t you try it out and tell me what happens after class?<br />&bull; Let\'s work on a lesson plan together.<br />&bull; Give me your worksheet for feedback before you take it into class.</p>\n<p>Concluding on a short promotional message, Alan quickly reviewed six innovative video programs the British Council have produced using authentic footage from East Asian state school classrooms to showcase talented teachers from nine East Asian countries.</p>\n<p>Centered on six areas, Storytelling, Meaningful Speaking Activities, Interactive Games, Teaching Aids, Classroom Management and Teacher - Student Interaction, the videos and manuals are available to help teachers in the region.</p>\n<p>An extremely informative and lively talk, Alan\'s demonstrated his extensive experience in the classroom and as a teacher trainer and proved to be an excellent example of how the British Council continues in its role to</p>\n<p>1.

You may be up half the night compiling lesson plans. But the world loves a teacher who is also something of an entrepreneurial optimist.','<p>Many Thailand long-term teachers have had what I call &lsquo;a Chatuchak Market eureka moment\'. You\'re walking around the weekend market - not looking for anything in particular - and you stumble upon something that you could sell for at least ten times the asking price back in (insert name of own country in this space) At least that\'s the theory.</p>\n<p>You\'ve also had a bellyful of rowdy students, early morning flag ceremonies and that complete prat in the admin office cocking up the teacher schedule for the fifth time this semester. Suddenly there\'s a whole new career path opening up before you. It\'s basically a four-step plan.</p>\n<p>1) Fill large container with cheap Thai goodies.<br />2) Send to UK port.<br />3) Brother-in-law Kevin organizes collection and distribution at the UK end.<br />4) Kevin becomes rich. You become richer.</p>\n<p>Then you talk to some knowledgeable person in a freight forwarding office and realize that given the cost of transportation, any profit you hoped to make on those hand-carved chopstick sets would be wiped out before the cargo ship had chug-chugged its way into the Gulf of Siam. The dream - albeit momentarily - is crushed.</p>\n<p>Now you may well be a teacher who lives to stand in front of a whiteboard. You may be up half the night compiling lesson plans. But the world loves a teacher who is also something of an entrepreneurial optimist.</p>\n<p>My first introduction to someone from this enterprising group of full-time teachers and part-time capitalists came in the early 90\'s. I had been in Thailand no more than a few months but got into conversation with a Swedish bodybuilder (as you do) who was staying in the same apartment building.</p>\n<p>My initial chats with Patrik were mainly about his rather splendid superbike but eventually talk turned to how to make money in Thailand - preferably without becoming a teacher. He immediately handed me a cheaply-produced business card and said proudly \"import export - that\'s what I do\"</p>\n<p>In those days I was easily impressed. I had visions of creaking dockside cranes in Gothenburg and men in hard hats unloading large containers laden with Patrik\'s booty. As Patrik the bodybuilder and I became friendlier - in the sense of sharing the odd beer and not going off to the gym together you understand - I learned more about the nuts and bolts of his business. It basically involved buying a dozen fake polo shirts from his favorite Sukhumwit street-vendor, trotting off to the Bangkok Central Post Office, and then sending the shirts home to his Mom.</p>\n<p>This operation he would repeat once a month - or less frequently depending on how much he\'d drunk the night before. My illusions were quickly shattered. I couldn\'t bear the thought of Patrik\'s mom, sitting at the kitchen table in her pink housecoat and carpet slippers, dutifully checking off a list to confirm how many moody polo shirts Uncle Peter and Auntie Gretel had ordered.</p>\n<p>That was of course in the days before the wonderful world-wide web took over our lives. Over the past few years, many &lsquo;wheeler-dealers\' looking to supplement their teaching income have turned to the world\'s favorite auction site, E-bay, on which to tout their wares and hopefully make riches beyond their wildest dreams.</p>\n<p>The only problem is that the western world has had quite enough of floppy fishermen\'s trousers and Thai wooden place-mats thank you very much. Some teacher-cum-entrepreneurs have been successful. The majority have failed miserably.</p>\n<p>Since I started running ajarn.com, I\'ve had numerous e-mails from would-be entrepreneurs and circus side-show acts - all looking to seek their fortune in Thailand with limited investment capital (so a go-go bar is definitely out of the question) I\'ve also noticed that many folks possess an alarming propensity to do as little research as possible.</p>\n<p>My all-time favorite e-mail came from a guy in Canada who had worked on several Hollywood movies as a stunt double. He rather fancied the idea of opening his own stunt school and teaching the tricks of the trade to stuntmen in the Thai film industry. If a Thai stuntman wanted to jump off a twenty-storey building, then this particular Canadian was the man to demonstrate how it was done.</p>\n<p>I showed this e-mail to a colleague I was working with at the time - a man known more for his biting cynicism than anything else. My colleague, somewhat predictably, thought it was a ridiculous idea. His response still tickles me to this day. \"If you want to get a Thai guy to jump off a tall building, then tell him you\'ll take care of his family for the rest of their lives - and he\'ll do it for real\"</p>\n<p>Some would say a tad sarcastic but he does have a point. As I often tell folks who ask for my extremely limited business advice - if it can be made, then a Thai can make it cheaper. And if it can be done, then a Thai will do it for a fraction of the cost.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get the impression I\'m looking down on those who are simply trying to make a quick buck on the side. Far from it. It\'s that sense of business spirit and adventure that keeps the world turning. And let me tell you - I\'ve had my &lsquo;eureka\' moments too.</p>\n<p>One idea that enters my head every six months or so is to offer a proof-reading service to Thai companies. The idea seems to gather momentum every time I read a glossy brochure for a new condominium development and it contains gems such as \"we will be your best friend for your living experience\" and \"all your convenient lifestyle is on your doormat\" We\'ve all read this stuff and we\'ve all scratched our heads in bewilderment. Something is most definitely getting lost in translation.</p>\n<p>I\'m certainly not the first foreigner though to nurture the idea of running a proof-reading service. I know several teachers who have had the same inspiration but ultimately got nowhere because culturally speaking, you are up against it from day one.</p>\n<p>For Thai businesses to hand over badly-written English communication for a foreigner to check and re-write is generally accepted as an enormous loss of face. Especially if the guy who wrote \"our condominium is locate in the downtown area of Bangkok so you don\'t have to spend time too much for your travelling\" lived and studied in England for fifteen years.</p>\n<p>So I\'m sad to say that the proof-reading idea has been knocked on the head yet again. But all is not lost. Get on E-bay because I\'ve got a lovely pair of lime green floppy trousers for you to bid on. These are the kind worn by genuine Southern Thai fishermen. Buy two pairs and I\'ll throw in a set of hand-carved salt and pepper shakers in the shape of elephants. Now you can\'t say fairer than that.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2016-05-13 15:56:56',1,'2016-05-13 15:56:56','2016-05-14 05:05:57'),(1370,52,'March 2010','march-2010','All the latest news from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Find out all the latest news on TEFL course promotions, starting dates, etc. Why not take your course in Thailand and get off to the perfect start!','<p><a href=\"http://seetefl.com/?page_id=299\">SEE TEFL</a> has created three YouTube videos&nbsp; <span lang=\"EN\">\'An introduction to SEE TEFL\', \'Cultural awareness Day\' and \'Teacher Testimonials\' You can view the videos on <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/seetefl\">SEE TEFL\'s YouTube page</a></span></p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\"></span></p>\n<hr />\n<p>International House&nbsp;now has three permanent TEFL trainers.

If these problems with the blood are not brought under control, they will eventually cause serious damage to these vital organs and can lead to a very serious heart attack, or other serious medical problems.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The bad news about these conditions is that they can\'t be cured (for now) and they will always be excluded from coverage if the problems existed at the time of application for insurance. (Yes, yes, yes...I know that some of you probably find this hard to believe, because you come from countries where the government gets involved in assuring that everyone has health coverage and <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.com/health-insurance-plans/pre-existing/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>pre-existing conditions</span></a> are covered.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The good news is that, while these conditions can\'t be cured, they very definitely can be controlled - if you have the commitment and you seek reliable medical support to do so. The damage caused to vital organs develops over a long period of time and can be prevented if controlled soon enough (check with your doctor about this).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But, from an insurance company\'s perspective, even if you do bring the problem under control, the danger of you losing control still persists.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>You lost control of the problem once, so you can still lose control of the problem again. It might be ideal for you if they removed the exclusion and just allowed you to submit proof every year to the insurance company showing that the problem is fully under control. But, monitoring that proof would be too difficult and costly for them. So, the exclusion would have to remain, no matter how well the condition has been kept under control.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The big question is: If you are excluded from coverage for treatment, medication and testing for high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes, and any problems related to them, would you be covered for treatment of a heart attack, for example? The answer to that would depend on the treating physician. These conditions, if allowed to get out of control, leave tell-tale signs that let the treating physician know if they could be responsible. If those signs don\'t exist, then treatment of the heart attack should be covered; unless, of course, there were other reasons for not covering it stated in the policy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>We were able to put this to a test a few years ago when one of our inbound travel insurance clients arrived in Bangkok, departed from the plane, and then collapsed from a heart attack. It turned out that the insured had a history of high blood pressure which he kept under control with medication.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The insurance company\'s first response was, \"Ah, ha! Got you!\" (Or, something to that effect). But, the treating physician replied back, \"Ah, ha! No, you don\'t!\" (Or, something to that effect). The treating physician stated very emphatically that the insured\'s history of high blood pressure had nothing to do with his heart attack. The insurance company then paid the claim in full.

After being duped by building contractors here in Thailand, it\'s the only way he can save enough money to get the job finished and realize his dreams.','<p>This article is an update to the original article on <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-house-of-horrors/\" title=\"blocked::http://www.ajarn.com/\">building a house in Thailand</a>, posted in November 2009</p>\n<p>Here\'s an update on the contractor fiasco.\n<p>Well, for starters, I have returned to America and I am teaching at a university in my hometown. I came back to save the money to finish my house. Because the contractor had not cancelled the contract on my house while I was there, I couldn\'t continue building it. No one would even give me a price until that was done.</p>\n<p>I returned to America, got a job, and asked my wife to join me. She told me on the phone that the contractor and the lawyer had come over to the house two weeks after I left and brought a document with them saying that the contract with me was cancelled. Duh! However, my wife went on to say that they still wanted the 290,000 THB. She told them they would not get the money because I had paid as per the contract. The lawyer told my wife that since I was a farang and she was the lawful owner of the house and property, she could be in big trouble. Blah blah, blah. Not wanting to argue, my wife told them she wasn\'t concerned and they finally left.</p>\n<p>One day before she left to come to America, a laborer who had worked on the house came over to talk to my wife about hiring him to finish the house after the contract was cancelled. He was a local man that lived in the next village, so she knew of him. He told her that the problems I had had with the contractor were typical. The laborer told my wife it happened with all of the projects he had worked on with this particular contractor. He continued to tell her that the contractor had a gambling problem. and he takes the money from one project and puts it into another when his gambling debts get too high.</p>\n<p>To get further proof, my wife went to talk to the owners of another house-build project which this rogue contractor had worked on. The owners told my wife the same sad story.</p>\n<p>I assure you that when we return and continue building our house, I will be there every time a brick is laid. I have learned my lesson. The amount I have spent should have almost paid for a completed house but \"we live and learn\"</p>\n<p>We are now saving up money so we can come back in a year and finish our house. <br />Even though there are things I don\'t like about Thailand - the positive things outweigh the negative. And we both miss Thailand terribly.</p>\n<p><strong>Update Tuesday 20th April</strong></p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<p>Well...I am back in Thailand. I finally saved enough money while in America to, maybe not complete my house, but&nbsp;earn enough money to make&nbsp;the house&nbsp;livable and I can work completing it a little at the time.</p>\n<p>Now that the rogue contractor has cancelled the contract, we have another one that is eager to bring my house up to the standards I expected. This contractor wants me here to tell him exactly how I want the house built. He is committed to doing it right and exactly the way I want it - something the other contractor never did nor wanted.</p>\n<p>Of course I am skeptical but the work he has done so far is the way it should be done. When he came out to my house to look at what I wanted, he was amazed at what had to be redone because the other contractor failed to do it the right way and the way I asked him many times. Half-built walls needed to be torn down to reroute the water, sewer, and install vent lines and the roof needed a lot of work also. Now, the reconstruction is almost finished and his crew is working on the walls. Of course it will cost me more money because of the rework, but in the end I\'ll have the house I want, the way I want it.</p>\n<p>My handicap seemed to be getting worse, so I was forced to retire from teaching. Retiring will make my handicap easier to manage and I will also be here every day to monitor the progress..</p>\n<p>I\'m still not completely finished with the rogue contractor though. When I returned from America I had a letter waiting&nbsp;for me from the courts telling me of a court date to hear the case. I am looking forward to seeing him in court and getting this settled.</p>\n<p>This fiasco has taught me a lesson, as hard as it has been. I have learned four basic rules that I should have known, but I was too trusting. 1) If a contractor doesn\'t do what is asked of him, get rid of him immediately. 2) Buy the&nbsp;building materials yourself so you know exactly what your getting and the cost. 3) Be meticulous on being there every day and constantly monitoring the contractors work. 4) Demand quality.<br />I would advise anyone building a house to follow these four very basic rules so they wouldn\'t have the problems I have had.</p>\n</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/house_horror.gif','2010-03-03 05:29:28',1,'2010-03-03 05:29:28','2010-04-20 20:08:30'),(1390,10,'How\'s the \'decorate\' and the \'supervise\'?','hows-the-decorate-and-the-supervise','The joys of filling in customer feedback forms','Should that be ‘supervision’ or ‘supervisor’? Was I supposed to rate the actual restaurant supervisor? Was I evaluating those that do the supervising as opposed to those who are supervised? Forget it. It doesn’t matter. It makes no sense whatsoever','<p>In my last article I touched on the topic of sales brochures containing poor written English, with new condominium developments being among the worst offenders. Personally I\'d be very wary of splashing out three or four million baht on a brand new apartment if the management can\'t even see the point of proof-reading what goes into their sales literature. But perhaps that\'s just me.\n<p>What I find even more unforgiveable is when customer comment cards are badly written. The information that customers enter on those comment slips provides invaluable feedback to an organization. One hopes that the feedback is taken seriously. I certainly go out of my way to spend five minutes filling in a card whenever there\'s one available.</p>\n<p>Last week I was eating at the Sri Nakarin branch of a popular Thai Japanese restaurant chain. I won\'t mention the company but let\'s just say it shares its name with a well-known Japanese mountain.</p>\n<p>My wife and I enjoyed a decent meal. The service was reasonably fast and efficient and I thought the food represented good value for money. I wouldn\'t say the experience was worth shouting from the rooftops about but when I noticed a small pile of customer comment slips, I grabbed a biro and took it upon myself to say a few nice things. At least I would have done if I could have fathomed out the damn English. So let me walk you through each of the four sections.</p>\n<p>As is traditionally the format on these customer questionnaires, each section and relevant sub-section required a check or an &lsquo;X\' depending on whether the customer considered it excellent, good, average or poor.</p>\n<p>The first section was &lsquo;quality of food\' This was divided into two sub sections; &lsquo;taste\' and &lsquo;fresh\'. I had no problem with &lsquo;taste\' because either the food tastes good or it doesn\'t. So I marked that down as good.</p>\n<p>Critiquing &lsquo;fresh\' was a whole different ball-game. I would presume that they meant &lsquo;freshness\' anyway. This was definitely the place for nouns. Word choice aside, how the bloody hell would I know if the food was fresh unless I was standing at the delivery bay, idly sucking on a pencil as the food truck was unloaded? Then I would need to follow each delivery item into the kitchen or storage area and make a mental note of how quickly the produce got used. There\'s only one man who truthfully knows whether that day\'s food can be construed as fresh or not - and that\'s the head chef.</p>\n<p>I was going to write all those opinions on the customer feedback form but there just wasn\'t enough space. And let\'s be honest - no one would have read it anyway.</p>\n<p>Back to the questionnaire and it\'s section two where things got really interesting. Actually you can substitute interesting for confusing. The word &lsquo;services\' as a title for the section was confusing enough but how do you rate &lsquo;courtesy\'? OK, they mean &lsquo;politeness\' I think. But you rarely encounter a Thai waitress who is blatantly impolite. Rating politeness strikes me as a waste of time. The guy who designed the form obviously thought the word &lsquo;polite\' was far too humdrum in this case, so he flicked through a thesaurus and came up with the word &lsquo;courtesy\'. He\'d probably seen it on the side of a hotel shuttle bus as well. It had to be the right choice.</p>\n<p>The next sub-section I had to rate was &lsquo;supervise\'. Should that be &lsquo;supervision\' or &lsquo;supervisor\'? Was I supposed to rate the actual restaurant supervisor? Was I evaluating those that do the supervising as opposed to those who are supervised? Forget it. It doesn\'t matter. It makes no sense whatsoever. And neither did the next section - &lsquo;serving\'. What\'s that all about? Are we talking about the size of the servings? I assume the word choice should have been &lsquo;service\' but you can never be absolutely sure. Perhaps they do mean the size of the servings because if they meant &lsquo;service\' then how does that differ from &lsquo;politeness\'...er...sorry...courtesy. Oh to hell with the damn feedback form. I\'m not wasting another second on it. Hang on.....what\'s this?</p>\n<p>The third section is &lsquo;atmosphere\'. This should be a laugh. The restaurant wants me to evaluate them in three areas - &lsquo;decorate\', &lsquo;cleanliness\' and &lsquo;utensils\'. I\'ll start with the easy one. Yep, the restaurant looks pretty clean. Let\'s tick the excellent box. &lsquo;Decorate\'? Not sure about that one. It\'s a typical characterless Japanese restaurant made up entirely of glass and stainless steel but I guess one or two pastel-colored prints wouldn\'t go amiss. The &lsquo;Utensils\' section struck me as being a tad redundant, especially if you had marked restaurant cleanliness down as excellent. I\'ve never been in a restaurant where the walls and floors have been scrubbed to a shine but I\'ve had to pick through mouse droppings and pubic hairs to fish out a couple of chopsticks.</p>\n<p>The problem I have with all this is simple. Why should I, the customer, be bothered to give feedback when you, the company, can\'t be bothered to produce a comments form that I can read and understand?</p>\n<p>I had an idea to call up the restaurant that shares its name with a famous Japanese mountain and speak to someone in their customer service department. I was more than willing to re-write their customer survey forms for an obscene amount of money. But you know how it is.

But we are constantly reminded that investing is for the long term.','<p>Last week saw a welcome rebound in most world markets after a shaky start to the year. They have by no means returned to the highs they reached prior to the meltdown but they have shown a resilience no-one would have imagined 18 months ago. The old adage of &lsquo;don\'t panic; hang in\' when things get rough has proved its worth yet again. Of course, if we all had access then to the Iveagh Wealth Fund then, we would have done as well as the Guinness family for whom it was set up. The fund went mainly into cash before the crisis and avoided the heavy losses that affected everyone else.\n<p>Several indicators point to an improving scenario in the US, which still has the greatest impact on global markets. These include a decrease in market volatility, a reduction in the rate that workers are being fired and a general rise in dividends. Elsewhere, Asia continues to show positive growth and is not dogged by the debts that have affected western nations.</p>\n<p>On the downside, we have seen nervous market reaction to the near bankruptcy of the Greek economy, fuelling fears that other debt-laden countries - such as Portugal, Spain and Ireland - could be in trouble too.</p>\n<p>On balance it looks like we are slowly on the road to recovery from the abyss of 18 months ago. But we are constantly reminded that investing is for the long term.</p>\n<h3>PROPERTY - IS NOW THE TIME TO BUY?</h3>\n<p>If you were one of the 16 million American homeowners who are &lsquo;under water\', that is, who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth, you would probably rue the day you went into property. Not only the US is affected; this is a problem affecting owners in many countries. But the problem is not property purchase itself; the problem is that as with financial investments, people buy when prices are too high. Worse, where the property market is concerned, they borrow heavily in the mistaken belief that the prices will keep on rising. True, prices can keep rising for a number of years, but at some point when they reach unsustainable levels, the bubble bursts. This occurs almost predictably in regular cycles.</p>\n<p>The downturns spell disaster for many but also offer opportunities to those who are shrewd enough to find renewed value in collapsed markets. Like stock markets, property offers real growth in the long term and protection against inflation, but investors must be wary of timing and be prepared for short term volatility. Over the years we have dealt with a number of international property expert companies who seek out developments that would normally be in heavy demand in locations such as London. Thanks to the depressed market and lack of availability of mortgages, these companies are able to purchase blocks of properties in specific developments at a heavy discount which can then be passed on to individual buyers. These companies can also obtain mortgages for expatriate investors, probably much more easily and much larger than would be available locally.</p>\n<h3>QROPS - A BOOM FOR BRITS WITH UK PENSIONS</h3>\n<p>Although intended to apply to all EU countries, to date only British expatriates are able to benefit from this dramatic opportunity to break free from the straightjacket of locked-up company pensions. Under existing rules company pensions are very restrictive, although in theory most offer secure, defined benefits that are payable for life. Where they fall down is that they are dependent on the financial health of the company providing them and in any event do not become part of the pensioner\'s estate upon his death. Several million expatriate Brits are expected to take advantage of the new rule which allows them to move the pensions offshore. We are working together with several QROPS providers to facilitate transfers. If you have a significant UK pension tied up from previous employment this is an option you need to explore before the government changes the rules to stem the large outflows that are now taking place. If your former company is not financially strong there is all the more reason to take action soon.</p>\n<p>If you have lost track of any former pensions there is a tracing service available at this <a href=\"http://www.pensionsservice.gov.uk\">website</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>CRITICAL ILLNESS COVER AVAILABLE AGAIN</h3>\n<p>A few months ago the only major international provider of critical illness cover pulled out of Thailand and several other Asian countries. Fortunately the breach has been filled by Friends Provident and Royal London 360, who now offer a choice of term or whole of life cover. Why is critical illness cover so important? Because you are five times as likely to suffer a critical illness than to die before retirement. In the UK cancer is likely to affect 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women. With odds like that, critical illness cover makes a lot of sense, particularly if you are an expatriate, because of the additional cost and inconvenience a critical illness may cause. Couldn\'t happen to you? - It happened to all of the following under 65\'s: Eva Peron, Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton-John, Bill Clinton, Dudley Moore.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Eric Jordan</p>\n<p>Managing Director, Professional Portfolio International</p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:eric.jordan@ppi-advisory.com\">Contact</a> Eric / View PPI <a href=\"http://www.ppi-advisory.com/home/index.php\">website</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2010-03-08 04:05:14',1,'2010-03-08 04:05:14','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1435,8,'Learner autonomy','learner-autonomy','Encouraging learners to be more responsible for their own progress','There are various ways to speed up the learning of a language. First of all, students should try to develop the habit of using the language they’ve learnt in the classroom outside the classroom.','<p>When students learn a language, they often expect the teacher to spoon-feed them bits and chunks of language and grammar until they are ready to use these and communicate.</p>\n<p>More often than not, students never open their books in between lessons in order to review, practice or expand the language they\'ve learned. No wonder that becoming fluent takes a very long time for most learners, if it ever happens at all.</p>\n<p>I think it\'s very important that teachers not only teach their pupils the language prescribed in the curriculum, but also guide them to become autonomous learners so they don\'t need the teacher\'s help at every single step.</p>\n<h3>Taking charge</h3>\n<p>It\'s important to be able to &lsquo;do it yourself\'. Instead of having sashimi rammed down their throats, they should be taught how to catch tuna themselves, or any other fish as tuna are about to become an endangered species. Anyway, I think you get the idea: students should be taught to take charge - at least partly - of their own learning. In order to achieve this, I think teachers should introduce, teach, promote and, if possible, follow up on learner autonomy.</p>\n<p>There are various ways to speed up the learning of a language. First of all, students should try to develop the habit of using the language they\'ve learnt in the classroom outside the classroom.</p>\n<p>This might prove more difficult than it seems, as in many countries opportunities to speak and practice English are rather limited. Also, cultural differences may impede striking up a conversation with a foreigner or complete stranger. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities online to get in touch with English-speaking netizens, even anonymously (it\'s never a good idea to give out all your personal information online anyway).</p>\n<h3>Ways to become fluent faster</h3>\n<p>Other possibilities of becoming more autonomous and starting to use and learn English outside of the classroom include keeping a journal, writing a diary or online blog, reading for pleasure, listening to radio programmes, watching the news, finding and emailing foreign friends, using instant messaging or Skype to chat online, joining a social networking website and so on.</p>\n<p>Students can do this from home or possibly from school if the latter has a self-access learning centre (SAC) or library with resources such as Internet access, graded readers, newspapers and magazines etc.</p>\n<h3>Using websites</h3>\n<p>It has also become fairly popular to learn a language on the Internet by signing up to a website which integrates language learning and building a social network. Popular sites let you learn a language while suggesting appropriate study partners at the same time. If a Japanese student signs up to study English, the site will suggest possible English-speaking students who are studying Japanese. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Often sites also rely on the sharing principle: users can rate and correct each others exercises and become part-time teachers themselves. Basic access to sites is usually completely free, but premium content comes at a price. Anyway, it\'s a good way for students to learn extra in their free time and possibly meet some international friends.</p>\n<h3>Teacher responsibilty</h3>\n<p>I think the benefits of learner autonomy are quite clear. It\'s obvious that it will improve and accelerate students\' progress and use of the language in a more realistic environment. However, not every student may see it that way. Some won\'t know where to start or what is expected of them if it isn\'t explained.</p>\n<p>In order to be successful, this approach should be clearly introduced by the teacher. Teachers should give explanations and examples of what is possible, tickle students\' curiosity and not make it mandatory. Instead of telling students to &lsquo;use the Internet\', we should be more precise. For example, &lsquo;if you want, read one article of your own choice from a particular website\'.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you want students to watch or listen to the news in English, give them the exact address of the website they can use to do this.</p>\n<p>In the classroom as well, students can be given some opportunities to take charge of their own learning. Teachers should regularly ask students for their opinions and suggestions on what to learn, e.g. a conversation topic they\'d like to discuss in the next lesson, a project to do in group, a song to listen to etc.</p>\n<p>This will not only ensure more participation of the students during the lesson, but also give them more exposure to language they\'re actually interested in. Finally, it should be clear that in general only motivated students will embrace learner autonomy.

In order to create detailed plans, one needs to feel fairly confident of being able to predict the future. ','<p>One factor leading to success that is constantly brought up in the academic literature on expatriates is the need to understand the culture environment one is working in. This would also seem to apply to those of us working in international education. An often overlooked source of cultural values comes from religious traditions, and these values are found throughout society and the workplace even as religion takes a less central role in many people\'s lives in our modern societies.\n<p>Christian values play a role in shaping working environments in Western countries (Anderson et al. 2000; Cornwell et al. 2005; Vinten 2000). Islamic values influence the business, economic, educational and political environments in countries with majority Muslim populations (Abbasi et al. 1989; Ali and Al-Owaihan 2008). Confucian values have been associated with work practices in ethnic Chinese firms (Wang 2004; Yan and Sorenson 2004). Along these lines, it would appear Theravada Buddhism values and philosophy shape many features of secular life in Thailand, including work and study practices found in schools..</p>\n<p>In my latest book, Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Theravada Buddhist Countries, Routledge Publishing, I proposed the influence of Theravada Buddhism encourages the creation of the following four features in workplaces in Southeast Asian countries where Theravada Buddhism is the principal religion: (1) hierarchical, but paternalistic in nature; (2) flexibility; (3) an internal locus of control; and (4) moderation and taking the middle path.</p>\n<p>Many scholars and observers have found the belief in karma as well as other core Buddhist values create a relatively higher acceptance of a social hierarchy (Jackson, 2003; Kaw, 2005; King ,1964: 64, 231; Stuart-Fox, 2002: 10). This acceptance of the existing social hierarchy can be difficult for foreigners to adjust to, especially those of us from Western societies where egalitarianism is more highly prized. It is not unusual for Western teachers to have troubled professional relationships with their Thai bosses at work and at least some of these conflicts probably come from having different viewpoints over how relationships between superiors and subordinates should be handled. On the other hand, Theravada Buddhist values and tradition indicate responsibility comes with a higher position in society. Therefore while the primary leadership style in Thailand is less democratic than what is found in Anglo-American cultures, it would not really be fair to call the style autocratic. Instead we see a very paternalistic style of leadership in much of Thailand where leaders are not expected to be directly challenged by subordinates, but where leaders are also expected to look after the best interests of those they feel responsible for.</p>\n<p>Another common source of friction for teachers working in Thailand is the perceived lack of detailed planning. In order to create detailed plans, one needs to feel fairly confident of being able to predict the future. However a core feature of Theravada Buddhism is the acceptance of impermanence and the constantly changing nature of all things. Buddhists believe, \"The whole kosmos - earth, and heavens, and hells - is always tending to renovation or destruction; is always in a course of change, a series of revolutions, or of cycles, of which the beginning and the end alike are un-knowable and unknown\" (Davids,1894: 88). Therefore, it is not surprising Thais are generally quite comfortable with ambiguity about the future and sometimes replace detailed planning with flexibility. If the key thing one believes about the future is it will be different from the present, detailed planning will take on less of a priority. Thais often feel confident that the job will get done, even if not yet completely sure how it will get done.</p>\n<p>Theravada Buddhism\'s concept of karma leads one to believe, to some extent, one\'s fate, has already been decided and one has little control over the future. Which differs from a core value in many Western societies where having free will and controlling one\'s own destiny is taught. However, Theravada Buddhism also teaches individuals have some level of free will as well being a slave to one\'s karma. King (1964: 19) explains this Buddhist belief \"to a great extent my present existence is filled with and determined by my past, yet each moment is new and contains ele&not;ments of freedom with that newness.\" Also, popular, not doctrinal Buddhism, as practiced by the majority of the population in the region places a heavy emphasis on the influence of supernatural spirits on day to day activities and successes and failures. Much of what one does on the job depends to a great extent on one\'s expectations of the outcomes. If an individual has an internal locus of control and feels his or her efforts will have an impact, that individual is more likely to work towards change. On the other hand, if one thinks that fate, karma, supernatural sprits and other factors the individual can not control play an important role in the outcome (an external locus of control), one is less likely to try to force major changes by his or her own efforts. I can not count the number of times while teaching at a Thai university seeing, on the morning of a major exam, students lined up to make offerings at the school\'s shrine in order to help them have success on the exam. While I am thinking, with my Western internal locus of control worldview, a better use of their time would be in hitting the books. A clear demonstration of a cultural difference in views about locus of control.</p>\n<p>While debatable, a case could be made that the core Buddhist belief that has the most impact on the day-to-day lives of ordinary people living in Thailand is the teaching of the \"middle path\" and the avoidance of extremes. Although this concept originally came from the Buddha\'s teachings to his followers to avoid both \"the extremes of an austere asceticism and a spirit of worldliness\" (Saunder 1922: 37) in order to reach enlightenment, the concept also has application in secular life. In daily life, the middle path means to be serious in one\'s work and studies, but not too serious, and to ensure one also enjoys one\'s life. It means one should be virtuous, but one does not have to be without sin. This may be shown by Thai students rarely having the single-minded devotion to studying one might find more often in Confucian inspired East Asian countries, but that does not indicate Thais do not value education. It could be speculated that spectacular success, and failure, comes from going to extremes. On the other hand following the middle path may lead to better mental health and more happiness. A cultural trade-off one should not think is automatically inferior.</p>\n<p>As always, when referring to cultures of entire nations it is important to be aware of the limitations. Obvious not every Thai fits the cultural stereotype presented here. Thais, like Americans, Germans, and others, are all individuals with their own personal beliefs and quirks. However, culture does matter and in \"general\" Thai culture and religious values will result in Thais having some distinctly different work practices than do individuals from other countries.</p>\n<p>In no way should this be considered a criticism of Thai culture. Different does not have to be better or worse. Acknowledging cultural differences does not have to imply any culture is superior to another. It is true some foreigners adapt to working in Thailand better than others, but this has do with the flexibility of the individual and has nothing to do with the value of Thai culture. If Thai culture is measured against the benchmark of one\'s own culture, naturally, as it is different, it will never measure up. On the other hand, examining the culture and the effect of this culture on the work environment in a non-judgmental manner can help individuals become more successful and enjoy their work in Thailand to a greater extent.</p>\n<p><strong>References</strong></p>\n<p>Abbasi, S.M., Hollman, K.W., and Murrey, J.H.

I am the MD of a real estate agency here in Bangkok called <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">EasyHomes</a>, and I hope the help and advice contained in these blogs will assist in your property searches.\n<p>Coming to Thailand for the time and looking for a job and a property can be really daunting for even the most confident of people. A new language, a new culture, a new city and new people all thrown at you at once! Where do you start?</p>\n<p>Well of course getting a job is a major priority, assuming you have not arranged employment before you arrive. However second on the list must be......accommodation! Let\'s face it no one likes living out of a suitcase and no one wants to pay hotel bills each day at approx. THB 1 000/night, when they could be renting an equally nice, if not better place for a third of that price.</p>\n<p>Looking for accommodation in a new city can be a time consuming and confusing task. Trying to work out the geography of city you are not familiar with is difficult enough, but then a&nbsp;whole array of other questions crop up, such as:</p>\n<p>1. Is this a safe neighbourhood?<br />2. Is this property value for money?<br />3. Is the landlord trying to rip me off?<br />4. Will I get my deposit back when I eventually leave?</p>\n<p>In time we will look into all these questions and more in the new blog column, but today let\'s just start by looking at a few properties that have answered positively for the above questions, so that anyone who wants to find a place to stay that has been vetted already, can do so.</p>\n<p>I will highlight&nbsp;three properties that we have found to be very popular with teachers in Bangkok, to give a quick glimpse of what is available, in various parts of town.</p>\n<p>The first one is in a district that is not as popular as those of Sukhumvit or Silom, and yet offers residents a great deal for a low-price. Not only that, but the property is just over 2 years old and offers a luxurious escape from the hustle and bustle of the built up areas of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Located in Thonburi, this property is within easy reach of Salaya and Pinklao, but at the same time allows residents to be back in Siam square in less than 30 minutes, due to the recent extension of the Silom BTS line over the river, which now extends to Wong Wian Yai BTS station.</p>\n<p>Metro Park Sathorn has great value&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/metro-park-sathorn-210\">studios starting at THB 7 500</a>, for 30 sqm. The building itself features a large swimming pool, garden areas and the development even has its own 7-Eleven, coffee-shop and restaurant with further retail outlets coming soon.</p>\n<p>There are also one-bedroom condos priced from THB 9 000 per month with 42sqm and separate kitchens. These units&nbsp;have some of the best lay-outs in a modern Bangkok condo.</p>\n<p>Finally Metro Park Sathorn also has 2 Bedroom units for teachers who have perhaps come over to Thailand with a small family. With units starting at THB 14 000 per month, these 58sqm condos my sound small, but with large windows, modern furniture and kitchens, they feel a lot bigger than the size suggests.</p>\n<p>Of course not everyone can live across the river, as most schools, universities and language schools are based on the Siam Square side. So let\'s look&nbsp;at one&nbsp;or two properties on this side of the river and yet close to the MRT or BTS.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/sitara-place-142 \">In near the central Sukhumvit area of Asoke, there is a great apartment</a> offering large extremely well maintained studios adequately sized at 40sqm. These studios also come with UBC and ADSL for free once a 12 month contract is signed. And starting at just THB 10 400 per month offers great value to live close to the center of town.</p>\n<p>With easy access to the MRT at Rama 9 and many local shops including The Esplanade, the building features 24 hour security and car parking, as well as a gymnasium.</p>\n<p>With a great landlord and a high level of cleanliness, we have found this property is very popular with teachers over the years, who are working in both Sukhumvit and Ratchadaphisek.</p>\n<p>Finally something&nbsp;for those wanting to live in a more northern area of the city with Lat Prao and Viphavidee within easy access. <a href=\"http://www.mrroomfinder.com/detail.php?id=3601 \">The Greeny Place Apartment offers a more traditional feel, but has&nbsp;plenty of space</a>. Studios start at THB 8 000 and one bedroom units are&nbsp;even better value at THB 10 000 per month and a spacious 60sqm. The apartment offers good value for money. Plus there is car parking, 24 hour security and gymnasium.</p>\n<p>Within a 5-minute motorbike ride of Ratchadaphisek MRT station, once you are on the Metro system then you can be anywhere in the city center within 30 minutes.</p>\n<p>In the coming weeks I will be writing more blogs, which will cover subjects from getting back commissions, to buying condos, to looking at the Bangkok Property market as a whole, its health, development and where it looks like it is going.</p>\n</p>','','2010-03-20 19:23:24',1,'2010-03-20 19:23:24','2010-03-22 13:01:25'),(1494,57,'Renting apartments in Bangkok: Getting started','renting-apartments-in-bangkok-getting-started','Apartment-hunters often have a misguided image of property brokers','Moving to Thailand is difficult - a totally different culture, a totally different alphabet, a totally different language (of course Thai is tonal) and even a different religion.

Some people&nbsp;will have jobs before they arrive, some will not. Some of you will have friends already here, some will not. Some will be able to speak some Thai, and most will not. And finally some will have temporary accommodation in which to stay, and some will not.\n<p>As anyone who has spoken to an expat anywhere in the world knows, visiting a place on holiday and living there can be chalk and cheese. Many a Brit on visiting Spain and particularly the Costa Del Sol have decided to take advantage of their EU citizenship and love of warm weather and moved to the coast to start a new life. Yes, on holiday it all seems great - sunshine, beaches, fun and plenty of San Miguels, it seems like life will be one big long holiday. But then reality sets in, bills need to be paid, language barriers need to be combated and worse still cultural differences are a daily obstacle.<br /><strong>And this is only a move to a developed European country!</strong></p>\n<p>Moving to Thailand is even more difficult - a totally different culture, a totally different alphabet, a totally different language (of course Thai is tonal) and even a different religion. So where do you start?</p>\n<p>Well, &nbsp;it would be wise to look for assistance and using other people\'s knowledge, experience and tools to help you. Of course using tools like Ajarn.com are great, and it looks like if you are reading this blog you have already made one smart move in finding Ajarn.com. However the depth of help does not stop there, and if you are moving to Thailand, then you are going to need long-term accommodation, and it would be wise to contact a real estate agency that speaks your language.</p>\n<p>At the risk of offending readers of this site, I often hear the mantra &lsquo;pounding the streets of Bangkok is the best way to find a good property deal\'. I could not disagree more with this. And before I start with the reasons why, yes I fully accept that as someone who works in the real estate industry I am going to be biased, but I am going to try and explain why.</p>\n<p><strong>Why use a Property Agent?</strong></p>\n<p>Well the obvious quick answers are:</p>\n<p>1. Saves you time<br />2. Saves you money<br />3. Saves you hassle<br />4. Gives you knowledge<br />5. Gives you Security<br />6. Expands your horizons<br />7. Makes your life easier</p>\n<p>So to expand on the above points a little:</p>\n<p><strong>Saves you time</strong>: Plodding the streets of a city like Bangkok is a hard, sweaty, dirty and tiring exercise, and that\'s when you know where you are going! Bangkok is a large confusing city, and when you throw into the mix language, cultural &amp; economic differences then it is difficult to know where to start.</p>\n<p>Sure you will have people advising you, &lsquo;go to this area\', &lsquo;take this apartment\', &lsquo;live in this district\' etc, but everyone has their own agenda, and by the time you have sifted through all the suggestions, travelled to few inappropriate properties and wasted a fair amount of time and energy, you will really&nbsp;question who to listen to.</p>\n<p>If you contact a registered legitimate property broker, you will be able to focus directly on your needs and be taken directly to suitable properties that you have previously viewed photos of, and this will save you a mountain of time.</p>\n<p><strong>Saves you money</strong>: This is the reason that most new expats, and even existing expats find the most difficult to comprehend. How can a real estate agent save you money?</p>\n<p>Well for a start, only landlords pay us - you don\'t. Secondly if you contact a well established real estate agency, then they will have connections with various buildings and landlords and as the landlords know the realtors&nbsp;bring them regular clients, they will often offer the clients of the broker a discount. After all, you may be meeting the landlord for the first time, but the landlord counts on agents like the one you are dealing with to run their business or investment, so it is in their interests to help each other. And by offering a discount and therefore a better-than-market price, then the client is happy and the broker can make the deal. It really is&nbsp;a win-win situation&nbsp;for all 3 parties.</p>\n<p><strong>In addition think of the other cost savings; <br /></strong>1. Time spent travelling to see unsuitable properties - how much value do you put on your own time?<br />2. Travel costs to see the properties that prove to be unsuitable (these costs can add up fast if taxis are involved).</p>\n<p><strong>Saves you hassle</strong>: Who really wants to be walking up and down grimy sois in Bangkok or other cities being turned away from properties that are not available or walking away from properties that look ok from the outside, but unlivable on the inside?</p>\n<p>It\'s a hot, sweaty, unpleasant and draining experience.....not recommended!</p>\n<p><strong>Gives you knowledge</strong>: Good real estate brokers are not salesmen, they are advisors and they will provide information and details that you will need. They know the market, they know the properties, they know the industry and they know the geography of the city. This is all information you will eventually need if you are going to rent a property in Bangkok or Thailand, so why not get it quickly and for free from a broker?</p>\n<p><strong>Gives you security</strong>: How well can you know a landlord that you have just met? How much of a legal standing as a foreigner do you have in Thailand? The answer to both questions is between very little and zero!</p>\n<p>So you are looking for a new property and find the one you think is good. But how can you be sure the 2 month deposit you will put down will be returned at the end of the contract? How do you know that the terms of the contract will be honoured? Who will you turn to when things go wrong?</p>\n<p>Well if you go with a legitimate and established property broker, then your security is a lot more assured. As mentioned earlier the broker will often know the landlord already and has built up a business relationship and one of trust. Also the brokerage will be an established company and so will&nbsp;carry weight under Thai law. The landlords know this and will therefore not want to engage in a sticky situation over a deposit.</p>\n<p><strong>Expands your horizons</strong>: With all due respect, a real estate broker deals in the market for a living, this is what he or she does 5-6 days a week, every week, often for years, and therefore their knowledge is beyond that of people who have just looked for their own property every so often.</p>\n<p>Of course it is sensible to look at as many sources as possible when doing research for anything, so asking friends, looking at websites and checking out property journals, etc&nbsp;are all fine things to do, but this all takes time and can be limiting&nbsp;because often the same properties appear time and time again. So hidden gems or some good deals may be missed.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>Makes your life easier</strong>: A combination of all the above means that your life is made easier, which is useful when you have just arrived in the new city or even new country. There really is enough to be dealing with when you arrive, with a new climate, new food, new culture, new job, new city, and new language all thrown at you at once. Why really would you want to make your life any harder by then going out to find a new property by yourself, or without professional assistance?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>Neil McDonough is the director of <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">EasyHomes</a> in Bangkok.

Ok, the flights are expensive but once you\'re here, you just won\'t believe how cheap this place is\"\n<p>For a long time, this was my standard response to anyone who asked my opinion on whether Thailand made a good choice as a holiday destination. These days if people ask me the same question, I tend to go very quiet and start cleaning my glasses - anything to avoid giving a straight answer.</p>\n<p>As sterling plummets to below 50 baht to the pound, dragging the US dollar down with it, I wouldn\'t be alone in stating the obvious. Thailand is not quite the travel bargain it once was. But the truth is I haven\'t subscribed to the &lsquo;Amazing Thailand\' myth for quite some time.</p>\n<p>I have recently become something of a one-man crusade against the outrageous food prices charged by the British theme pubs in Bangkok. I\'m not yet at the stage where I\'m chaining myself to the railings outside Government House but I think it\'s high time more folks became aware of just how much we &lsquo;ex-pat Bangkokians\' are being ripped off.</p>\n<p>Looking for a mid-week venue to hold an ajarn.com function. I happened upon a website for a theme pub in the Sukhumwit Road area. Actually it was a recommendation from a few of the pub\'s regular drinkers. I was looking for an informal bar or restaurant that was centrally located and offered plenty of space for teachers to stand around and enjoy a chat. Quite a few thought that this particular establishment fitted the bill. But it was most certainly a British theme pub.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t look at much of the website in all honesty. I would feel uncomfortable asking teachers to spend an evening in a joint that charged 280 baht for a gammon steak, a pineapple ring and a fried egg. That\'s almost six pounds. That\'s almost nine dollars for a meal that students rustle up when they live in a house and share a cooker with six other students. The gammon steak and pineapple ring combo is the last culinary bastion for those who are desperate for their end of month paycheck or those who are simply useless in a kitchen.</p>\n<p>How does one justify charging such an ungodly amount of money for a meal that\'s so embarrassingly easy to make? Someone offered me the excuse that it\'s an &lsquo;unusual\' meal for Thailand. Oh please - don\'t insult my intelligence. Unusual in what way? Prices of restaurant dishes are determined by the availability of the ingredients and the complexity of putting the dish together. You\'ll be telling me next that a microwaved baked potato with a spoonful of baked beans is worth five bucks.</p>\n<p>Did you know that the British theme pubs in Tokyo - supposedly one of the most expensive cities in the world - are cheaper than the theme pubs here? I was outside a British pub in the fashionable Shinjuku district just a few months ago. The Rose and Crown, The Dog and Doublet, I forget what the pub was called - but I couldn\'t believe that the menu prices were lower than what we pay for the same traditional British fare here in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I\'m off to England next week where at least I can indulge in some affordable dining out. The Wetherspoons pub chain might be a bit &lsquo;hit and miss\' depending on which branch you go into, but their lunchtime specials for 1.99 (that\'s less than a hundred baht) are sure to include gammon and pineapple. You may find yourself in an inner city branch complete with flashing fruit machines and overflowing ashtrays, but they know how to fill a plate at very reasonable cost.</p>\n<p>With such a favorable baht to pound exchange rate, there has never been a better time to holiday in England - even though the opportunity to escape Songkran should alone be reason enough.</p>\n<p>Perhaps I\'m being too hard on Bangkok\'s British pubs. Let\'s turn our attentions to the Thai travel industry and more specifically the cost of plane tickets.</p>\n<p>I always fly to the UK with Emirates Airlines wherever possible, mainly because they are one of the few airlines who fly into my hometown of Birmingham. The cheapest seat I could get for this coming trip back home was a shade under 50,000 baht. Thai Airlines, who fly direct to London, are asking in the region of 48,000. Tapping figures into a calculator, that\'s virtually a thousand pounds! How is that my brother, who came to visit me in Thailand last month, paid almost half that price to fly in the other direction with Thai International? I\'m yet to find a Thai travel agent who can furnish me with a decent answer but it\'s not for want of trying.</p>\n<p>I\'m not coming at these price differentials from the angle of an expert economist. I\'m just an average Joe consumer who looks at the prices on menus and clothes tags and wonders what\'s wrong with this picture.</p>\n<p>Going back to my brother\'s recent visit, I met him off the first early morning flight at Swampy Bum airport and even though he was clearly jetlagged and had spent ten hours in economy sitting next to a chatty couple from Yorkshire, I asked him what he fancied doing on his very first morning in Bangkok. Concerned that he hadn\'t brought enough summer wear (it was five degrees when he left London) he asked if we could go to a shopping mall so he could pick up some new threads.</p>\n<p>\"What are you after exactly?\'</p>\n<p>\"I was thinking of maybe some polo shirts. What would a nice polo shirt cost here?\"</p>\n<p>\"I guess about three or four hundred baht provided you steer clear of the designer labels\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s not bad. That\'s about eight pounds. A decent polo shirt would cost double that in the UK\"</p>\n<p>We dumped his suitcase back at the house, had a quick bite to eat and then caught a taxi to Central Bang Na. This was not The Emporium or Siam Paragon or one of the glitzier, up-market shopping malls. This was good old middle-of-the-road Central Bang Na.</p>\n<p>We walked around the menswear department and fingered every polo shirt on display. We didn\'t see a single price tag lower than what he would have paid back in England. My brother eventually turned to me and said \"it\'s not as cheap as I thought it would be\" And I had to agree. I was even more disappointed than he was. He\'d only been on Thai soil for a matter of hours and already I had let him down. I just didn\'t realize that decent clothes were so damn expensive. Even in the lower-end retail clothing stores such as AtoZ and Body Glove, the clothes were hardly what you would call a bargain.<br />Plane tickets, meals in Bangkok\'s British pubs and polo shirts - they are just three components of what is becoming an increasingly disturbing bigger picture. What\'s the real cost of living in Thailand these days?</p>\n<p>Of course much of this analysis - casual as it may be - could be used to support my argument that a 35,000 baht salary is not enough for a teacher to survive on in Bangkok. Not if you buy polo shirts, eat at the Rose and Crown and like to take the occasional trip home.</p>\n</p>','','2010-03-25 08:45:38',1,'2010-03-25 08:45:38','2010-03-26 22:10:39'),(1545,55,'An introduction to Montessori 101','an-introduction-to-montessori-101','An analysis of Montessori philosophy and benefits','The Montessori Method consists of a carefully developed set of materials to create the proper environment for children at each stage of their development ','<p>Thailand Educators Network met again on Tuesday, 30 March to hear Shalini Dey and Patricia Barber from Modern Montessori provided an extremely informative and lively introduction to the Montessori philosophy and an insight into their school\'s operations and success here in Thailand.\n<p>During their talk, Patricia and Shalini discussed Montessori benefits and touched on the Montessori Philosophy including internal aides for child development, an absorbent mind definition, sensitive periods, laws of natural development and what is meant by a prepared environment, vertical grouping closing with the role of the teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>Brief History</strong></p>\n<p>&bull; Developed by Italian lady named Dr. Maria Montessori<br />&bull; First woman doctor in Italy her educational methods developed over 100 years ago<br />&bull; Began in 1907 in San Lorenzo, Rome at Casa Dei Bambini<br />&bull; Focuses on the development of the whole child<br />&bull; Teaches children to become problem solvers and critical thinkers<br />&bull; Has been the educational beginning of many successful people (New education)</p>\n<p><strong>Montessori Philosophy</strong></p>\n<p>A child\'s work is to create the person they will become. Children are born with special mental powers that aid in the work of their own construction, but cannot accomplish the self-construction task without purposeful movement, exploration and discovery of their environment in terms of both the things and the people that come with it.</p>\n<p>A truly educated person continues to learn long after the years spent in the classroom as they are motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge. Dr Montessori felt the goal of education should not be to fill the child with facts but rather to cultivate their own natural desire to learn.</p>\n<p>Following decades of observing and studying children, she concluded that they pass through sensitive periods when they possess a unique and amazing aptitude for learning. To take advantage of these sensitive periods it is necessary to create a properly prepared environment to stimulate particular interests and allow them to exercise their innate ability to learn. If the sensitive period is missed or if the environment is not properly prepared, learning becomes difficult and tiresome.</p>\n<p>The Montessori Method consists of a carefully developed set of materials to create the proper environment for children at each stage of their development and with the guidance of trained teachers children can develop their intellects and acquire all skills and content of human civilization.</p>\n<p>Over sixty years of experience with children around the world proved Dr Montessori\'s theory that children can learn to read, write and calculate as easily and naturally as they learn to walk and talk.</p>\n<p>Parents should understand that a Montessori school is neither a baby-sitting service nor a play school; it is a unique cycle of learning designed to meet the child\'s natural development. Those children who learn the basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic in this natural way have the advantage of beginning their education without drudgery, boredom or discouragement and gain an early enthusiasm for learning, the key to becoming truly educated.</p>\n<p>At this stage of development, children have an absorbent mind, soaking in facts like a sponge. They learn through concrete experience and they tend to work best by themselves.</p>\n<p><strong>Absorbent Mind Period</strong></p>\n<p>The first phase of the absorbent mind period is from birth to three years and is the most formative time in a child\'s development.</p>\n<p>During the first phase, from birth to three years old, the young child unknowingly or unconsciously acquires his basic abilities. She called it the period of unconscious creation or the unconscious absorbent mind.</p>\n<p>The child\'s work during this period is to become independent from the adult for his basic human functions. The child learns to speak, to walk, to gain control of hands and to master their bodily functions. Once these basic skills are incorporated into a schema the child moves into the next phase of the absorbent mind.</p>\n<p><strong>Sensitive Period</strong></p>\n<p>The second phase, period of conscious work or the conscious absorbent mind. During this period, the child\'s mathematical mind compels them to perfect what is now there. A fundamental task during this phase is freedom to move purposefully, freedom to choose and freedom to concentrate. The child\'s mantra is \"Let Me Do It Myself!\"</p>\n<p>The sensitive periods are critical to self-development, as each child unconsciously knows that the time to learn a specific skill is now. The child\'s intensity reflects a need for that particular acquisition in order to live. However, once the period passes and the skill has not been acquired, a child will have to learn the skill with much more difficulty at a subsequent time.</p>\n<p>Adults often do not realize that a child has sensitive periods\' perhaps because they do not remember their own, however, an unsatisfied sensitive period will manifest itself in a cranky child.</p>\n<p><strong>Natural Development</strong></p>\n<p>There are eight natural laws of development</p>\n<p>1. Law of work<br />2. Law of independence<br />3. Power of attention<br />4. Establishment of will<br />5. Development of intelligence<br />6. Development of the child\'s imagination and creativity<br />7. Development of the emotional and spiritual life<br />8. Stages of growth</p>\n<p>A prepared environment consists of four aspects: freedom, structure and order, beauty and aesthetic and the development of community life.</p>\n<p><strong>Vertical Grouping</strong></p>\n<p>The Montessori philosophy values vertical grouping as children of different ages working together presents various educational opportunities such as role modeling and teaching. Having students for more than one year allows teachers to really know each child and have a clearer understanding of academic needs.</p>\n<p>Self-esteem and confidence come naturally to children in an environment where leadership opportunities are available. Classes are grouped vertically (two to six years of age), with various opportunities for spontaneous and exciting learning.</p>\n<p>Aside from a directress as the sole source of learning, children gain valued insights from watching each other work. Vertical grouping is characteristic of the Montessori approach in recognition of the fact that children have different paces in physical, emotional, social and cognitive development and are more sensibly treated as individuals rather than lumped as a chronological age group.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Roles</strong></p>\n<p>1. must be a growing person<br />2. able to develop self knowledge<br />3. understand relations with children<br />4. understand what it is that stands in the way between adults and children<br />5. must diminish egocentric and authoritarian behavior when working with children<br />6. must have the desire and ability to observe the children<br />7. must study to purify her heart and put on humility and above all learn how to serve<br />8. must see children as individuals<br />9. have faith in the child<br />10. be an exemplar /role model<br />11. be link between the environment and the child, as the teacher prepares the environment in which the child will self construct,<br />12. peace maker consistently working to teach courteous behaviors and conflict resolution<br />13. supportive offering warmth, security stability and non judgmental acceptance to each child</p>\n<p><strong>Difference between a Montessori School and a Traditional school</strong></p>\n<p>Montessori places emphasis on cognitive and social development<br />Traditional school emphasis on social development<br />Montessori teacher has unobtrusive role in classroom<br />Traditional teacher is center of classroom as \"controller<br />Montessori environment and method encourage self-discipline<br />Traditional teacher is primary enforcer of discipline<br />Montessori is mainly individual instruction<br />Traditional school is group and individual instruction<br />Montessori has mixed age grouping<br />Traditional school has same age grouping<br />Montessori grouping encourages children to teach and help each other<br />Traditional school teaching is done by the teacher<br />Montessori child chooses own work<br />Traditional school curriculum is structured for the child<br />Montessori child discovers own concepts from self teaching materials<br />Traditional school child is guided to concepts by the teacher<br />Montessori children works as long as they wishes on chosen project<br />Traditional school children are generally allotted specific time for work<br />Montessori child sets own learning pace<br />Traditional school instruction pace is usually set by group norm<br />Montessori child spots own errors from feedback of material<br />Traditional school work if corrected, errors usually are pointed out by the teacher<br />Montessori child reinforces own learning by repetition of work and internal feelings of success<br />Traditional school learning is reinforced externally by repetition and rewards <br />Montessori offers multi-sensory materials for physical exploration<br />Traditional school offers fewer materials for sensory development<br />Montessori provides organized program for learning care of self and environment<br />Traditional school places less emphasis on self-care instruction<br />Montessori child can work where they choose, move around and talk at will (without disturbing others); group work is voluntary<br />Traditional school child usually assigned own chair: encouraged to participate, sit still and listen during group sessions<br />Montessori provides an organized program for parents to understand the Montessori philosophy and participate in the learning process<br />Traditional school parent involvement is voluntary</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>\n<p>When working with children, there are qualities we must posses within ourselves: - communication, understanding, compassion, patience, love and trust.

No one knows for sure what causes the problem to start, but heavy cigarette smoking and obesity are some of the things that can help to speed up this shrinking process. As the blood vessels and arteries continue to shrink, they restrict the flow of blood through the heart, eventually causing the heart to stop pumping</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>While there is no cure for high blood pressure; it can be controlled. But the problem needs to be taken seriously before it is too late. If you are told that you have high blood pressure, find a doctor that you feel comfortable with and let that doctor help you monitor your progress in keeping your blood pressure under control. You can do home testing also, but don\'t rely on this alone. Have a medical professional help you monitor your progress from time to time.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The insured\'s reply to the insurance company showed that he really had no understanding at all of the medical problem that put him in the hospital Without this understanding he really had no hope of getting the insurance company to change their mind about his claim.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Insurance companies do make mistakes occasionally, though.

This is precisely the question that was posed to me by Phil, when he invited me for the Ajarn&nbsp;&lsquo;Hot Seat Interview\' several weeks ago.\n<p>Of course my answer then was the same as my answer today, and that is that there is not a &lsquo;best area\' or district in which to live, it\'s horse for courses, and one district may suit you more than others. I know plenty of expats who live well out of the well trudged expat areas of Bangkok and they have a very happy living, even without perhaps the daily conveniences of the international fare that can be found around Silom, Sukhumvit and Sathorn.</p>\n<p>However having said all the above, it is true to say that many expats of all nationalities from Japanese to German, from Indian to Italian, and of course all those in between, flock to Sukhumvit and make it the most popular expat &lsquo;district\' of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>So in this article I am going to briefly outline some low-cost, but good quality properties that can be located in this area.</p>\n<p>The first two are located in the On Nut area of Bangkok, and are called both called My Condo 81 &amp; 52. These brand new condos are built by Sansiri, a company listed on the SET and well known for building good quality and well designed buildings that suit the need of the market they are appealing to.</p>\n<p>With studios starting at just THB 9 500/ month and well set out one bedroom units at THB 14 000/ month, we often find these condos are very popular with teachers who want or need to be near the BTS or Sukhumvit area of Bankgok.</p>\n<p>These condos were bought with a furniture package, which is a style that is starting to become popular for developers whom are selling condos for the buy-to-let market, which My Condo fits into perfectly. This is fast becoming a good idea for all concerned. Simultaneously this action means that:</p>\n<p>1. Buyers don\'t have the hassle of furnishing the condo themselves<br />2. The developers can make small margin on the furnishings<br />3. All units are generally then decorated professionally with suitable and correct fitting furniture<br />4. Tasteful out subtle furnishings are often chosen so when you come to view the properties you are less likely to be put off by terrible choice of furnishings (a scenario that happens often in the Bangkok buy-to-let market).&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/my-condo-52-1097 \">My Condo</a> is very conveniently located near the BTS as is its slightly more expensive cousin Condo One, which with slightly larger units offers much the same practicalities and location as My Condo, at a slightly more expensive price.</p>\n<p>Moving more towards the central part of Sukhumvit near Asoke, we find <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/a-space-asoke-1334 \">A-Space Asoke</a>. Although technically this condo is not on Sukhumvit Road and is in fact located on Rama 9, it does have easy and quick access to Asoke BTS station and the Asoke area of Sukumvit as it is located closely to the Rama 9 MRT station.</p>\n<p>This brand new condominium complex has Studios starting at just THB 7 500/month and one bedrooms at just THB 12 000/ month. This complex may not be as close to BTS as My Condo, but it does feature a fantastic large swimming pool.</p>\n<p>With all the units well set out with large windows, modern furnishings and contemporary designs, this property is an excellent placer to live for both those whom want to be near the BTS and Sukhumvit or are happy to live on the MRT and have access to Ratchada, Lat Prao and Phahonyothin roads.</p>\n<p>Many people will tell you that there are loads of great deals to be had on Sukhumvit, but if you want something new, clean and well located within a few minutes walk or motorbike taxi ride from the BTS then opportunities are rarer.</p>\n<p>The above three properties mentioned, offer such conditions, as does <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/regent-condo-947 \">Regent Condo</a> also in the On Nut area of Sukhumvit, with units starting at just THB 7 500/month for Studio, this 1 year old building offers great comfort for an affordable price.</p>\n<p>There are of course many more older and run-down units or not as well located in regards to the BTS than the ones above, which can be rented for similar prices to the ones mentioned above. These units also may indeed be larger and have facilities and their own benefits, but sometimes a poorly maintained building can be less comfortable to live in, can be more expensive in the long-run with older air conditioning units eating up more electricity, or perhaps problems with the plumbing...etc.</p>\n<p>If you are here for just a year or not much longer, you of course don\'t want to be plagued with such problems, so we often advise to try and rent the newest and best located property as possible for your money.</p>\n</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;Neil McDonough is the director of <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">EasyHomes</a> in Bangkok.

Work in the West, live in the East. Get paid developed economy wages while spending on developing economy prices. Is this possible?','<p>Many foreigner teachers come to live and work in Thailand (or other foreign locations) primarily because of lifestyle; it would appear few educators go to work abroad in developing economies primarily for professional advancement and pay. Coming to Thailand for teachers usually involves tradeoffs. In order to enjoy the expatriate lifestyle and lower costs of living in this tropical land one normally expects lower pay and a different level of work-life than one would expect in a more developed economy.\n<p>Also, working in a foreign environment is quite different and often more difficult than living or visiting in a foreign land. The mai bpen rai attitude is appreciated in neighbors and friends, but can cause some friction when encountered in the workplace by individuals accustomed to different working styles and environments.</p>\n<p>However many educational professionals in Thailand have chosen to give up some income, security and opportunity for professional advancement to live in such a charming country.</p>\n<p>But what if one could have it both ways? Work in the West, live in the East. Get paid developed economy wages while spending on developing economy prices. Is this possible?</p>\n<p>\"Such is the changing nature of work that human resource activity is becoming increasingly time independent and the place of work is no longer fixed. The transition to the mobile and time-impendent workplace has advanced rapidly\" (Symons and Stenzel 2007).</p>\n<p>Advances in information technology reduce the limitation of having to only work within a specific geographic location near one\'s residence for many occupations. I suspect most of us are familiar with \"outsourcing\" and the overused example of call-centers in India. Writers, accountants, software engineers, and may other occupations can work anywhere in the world where they have access to a good internet connection and still be in touch with the home \"office.\"</p>\n<p>Due to advances in technology, education is moving away from the centuries old model of a single teacher being physically in the same classroom as students. There are growing opportunities for teachers to work in cyberspace. Some work requires synchronous interactions while other work does not.</p>\n<p>Although the concept of \"online education\" might seem radical, it is actually part of the long evolution of distance education. Distance education began with the invention of writing. Before there was written language, one could only learn from one\'s immediate surroundings and individuals in which one was in physical proximity to. With the invention of written language, our abilities to learn expanded to include gaining access to knowledge of people who were not in our physical proximity as well as removing restrictions of time. Many are still learning from Shakespeare even centuries after his death. And of course, the printing press greatly expanded the availability of distance education. However, there has always been a limitation with \"book learning\" and that is the lack of interactivity.</p>\n<p>There has also been formal distance education for long periods of time. Correspondence courses have been around for decades, and I even earned a few college credits towards my undergraduate degree using these \"old-fashioned\" types of courses as I was studying in a remote location where not all courses needed to complete my degree were available locally. I can also remember seeing courses being televised in Chicago and Detroit early in the mornings and late at night back in the early 80s for working students studying out of their homes. While there was interactivity in these forms of distance education, the time involved severely limited the richness of the interactions between teacher and student.</p>\n<p>However, the internet and now broadband and voice-over internet are making the distance learning experience much richer and interactive than ever before.</p>\n<p>There are some opportunities for online teachers at the primary and secondary level, Home-schooling has been growing in popularity in the USA resulting in many online programs becoming available. Also, there are a multitude of online tutoring services available although I am not personally familiar with how these work.</p>\n<p>However it would appear most opportunities come for teachers and professors in higher education. Online education is growing and is taking different forms and is used by a wide variety of educational institutions. We see some online schools where there is no real campus. We also see schools that offer both traditional and online programs. And we also see traditional schools use distance educational technology. For example, the prestigious University of California at Berkeley creates podcasts of all the lectures in many of its classes allowing students the option to attend class or listen to their lectures while away from campus.</p>\n<p>The use of the internet in education is here to stay and it is likely to continue to grow. There are now opportunities for teachers in Thailand that were not available in the past.</p>\n<p>This increased use of internet technology also allows teachers in Thailand and other locations to become students in order to upgrade their qualifications and advance their professional lives without quitting their jobs and returning home.</p>\n<p>I realize there is debate about the \"quality\" and acceptance of online education, but research does show online students perform on par with students learning in more traditional environments. However, one should also acknowledge that in the higher levels of academia there continues to be resistance to acceptance of online education. Therefore if one\'s career dreams include becoming a professor at Harvard or Oxford having education from or experience in online educational may not be helpful.</p>\n<p>I am currently teaching at three different online universities, two in the USA and one in Europe, and occasionally working at another located in Tokyo, In addition, I do dissertation advising online. I teach some &lsquo;face to face\" courses as well. I enjoy teaching online and I also enjoy teaching face to face. I also did parts of my own formal studies as an online student. From personal experience, I would not say online education is better or worse than more traditional styles of education, but I do know it is different. I also know that teaching online for a university in the USA or the UK pays better than teaching at a Thai university.</p>\n<p>Of course, there is the problem of visas and such. \"Permanent\" residents can probably work something out if working online, but for many teaching online can supplement and not replace their current work.</p>\n<p>I do realize that many teachers in Thailand do not currently have the qualifications to teach at a Western university, but for those thinking of making teaching a career while continuing to live in Thailand, online teaching could become part of one\'s long-term career plans.</p>\n<p><strong>Reference</strong></p>\n</p>\n<p>Symons, J. and Stenzel, C.

This picture was taken just a few weeks before her death</em></p>\n<p>\n<p>As I stood in front of my mother\'s grave there was a slight breeze. It was a beautiful day, just one day before the official first day of spring. The snow and ice had melted from the month before, and as my father stood beside me, I was getting ready to read my mother a poem. My father and I regularly went to see my mother, usually on my way to my sister Rena\'s house. My father\'s dog, Poochie, remained in the car seemingly oblivious to the fact that this was to be the last time I was to read a poem at my mother\'s grave for a while. I was to leave for Thailand the following day. A week after that I was to start teaching again. I couldn\'t wait to start teaching again. In some ways it felt like a new beginning. In some ways, it was. It was a bitter-sweet moment standing in front of my mother\'s grave that Saturday afternoon in March. The poem that I read to my mother that early spring day was titled \"You Were There\", by author unknown. I downloaded it, like I downloaded all of the poems that I read to my mother, from <a href=\"http://www.mothers.net\">www.mothers.net</a>.</p>\n<h3>You Were There</h3>\n<p>You were there when we took our first steps<br />and went unsteadily across the floor.<br />You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided<br />until our steps took us out the door...</p>\n<p>You worry now \"Are they ok?\"<br />Is there more you could have done?<br />As we walk the paths of our unknown<br />you wonder \"Where have my children gone?\"</p>\n<p>Where we are, is where you have led us<br />with your special love you showed us a way<br />to believe in ourselves and the decisions we make<br />taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.</p>\n<p>And where we go you can be sure<br />in spirit you shall never be alone.<br />For where you are is what matters most to us,<br />because to us that will always be home...</p>\n<p>Author Unknown.</p>\n<p>As I finished reading trying to hold back the tears which inevitably followed each time I read, my father put his arm around my shoulder and said, \"That was beautiful. And appropriate seeing that you are leaving tomorrow.\" I nodded as if agreeing with him. We then got back in his car, and with Poochie, made the 40 minute drive to my sister\'s house.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"304\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve2.jpg\" width=\"400\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo: My Dad and Poochie</em></p>\n<p>\n<p>I had come home six months earlier. Six months of liking my wounds. Six months of trying to come to terms with what happened and why. Six months of desperately trying to keep my sanity. About a year ago I had hit bottom. It was eight months after my mother\'s death. I had just finished my third consecutive one-year contract with EPIK in Korea. It was time to move on. Besides, I felt stifled as a teacher in the Korean public schools. I was to take a holiday in Cebu, the Philippines to see my girlfriend, and then decide what my next move would be. Only this girlfriend, or who I thought was my girlfriend, didn\'t show up. She wouldn\'t take my calls either. So I spent the next three weeks in the Philippines before moving on to Thailand. This \"girlfriend\" did contact my sister Rhonda while I was in Thailand, even chatting with her on Yahoo Messenger. Rhonda wanted me to get back together with her, but the damage was done. I was not interested any longer.</p>\n<p>Before moving on to Thailand, however, I went to see an ex-girlfriend. Yes, there are two ex-girlfriends in this story; ex-girlfriend number one and ex-girlfriend number two. Since evil has many names, we\'ll call ex-girlfriend number one Mila and ex-girlfriend number two Luzviminda. Those who have read my blog entries over the years may remember Mila. Yes the same Mila from the June 2008 blog. The same Mila who continually lied to me; the same Mila who took my money and ran like a thief in the night; the same Mila who disrespected my family; the same Mila who ignored me for three months; the same Mila who engaged me in a sperm war; the same Mila who got pregnant and never told me until three months later while I was back in Montreal watching my mother die. I asked her for the due date. She gave it to me. It was 37 weeks after the first time we had sex.</p>\n<p>Now, I may not know much about the female reproductive system, but what third world quack tells a pregnant woman that she\'s going to give birth a lot closer to eight months than nine? At the risk of stating the obvious, someone got to her three weeks before I did. The same Mila who emailed me in a panic just one day after finding out that she was pregnant. It turned out that her brother was murdered; shot in the head. Please send money to help pay for his funeral. (And NO, I didn\'t send money.) My family was appalled and horrified at what was happening. (Her brother, I found out later, really was murdered and his murder caused Mila to miscarry.) And last, but certainly not least, this was the same Mila who admitted that she cheated on me while I was at home watching my mother die.</p>\n<p>So I had to see Mila. If Luzviminda didn\'t want to see me again, I had to confront the recent past. I needed an explanation. I needed a sincere apology. And I needed to forgive her. I had to forgive Mila in order to move forward. I had to forgive her: For me and for my mother.</p>\n<p>One of my first pieces for ajarn.com was written in late 2004. I was home during that summer, and while visiting my mother in her nursing home, I came to realize that life was passing me by. I was 45 years old at the time and seeing my mother in a wheelchair, ravaged by Multiple Sclerosis, made me realize how precarious and precious life was. I also came to realize that if I didn\'t grab life by the balls, I may never get the chance to prove myself. So I took the chance. That summer I bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok. I had nothing and no one waiting for me. With my mother in mind, I left for Thailand. This is part of what I wrote a few months later:</p>\n<p><strong>Why I came to Thailand: Let\'s consider the real reasons</strong><br />1st December 2004.</p>\n<p>Multiple Sclerosis is a hideous and insidious disease. It robs you of just about everything. It robs you of your ability to walk, to run, to leap with joy. It robs you of your ability to cook dinner for your children and grandchildren, those very same wonderful meals she used to loving prepare 15 years earlier. It robs you of the ability to get yourself out of bed in the morning and pee without someone watching over you. But most of all, this disease-any disease-can rob you of your dignity. Every shred of dignity you thought you had, and took years of your life to build.</p>\n<p>Multiple Sclerosis may have robbed my mother of the ability to do many things. But there\'s one thing it can never rob her of: Her will. Her willingness to see and watch her children and grandchildren continue to grow, and live the lives that we were meant to live, is her legacy. And what a legacy to leave! Her willingness to go on, in spite of everything, in spite of all the indignities she has suffered, is her legacy: A legacy that has been passed down to her children and her children\'s children so that we may be free and have the courage to leave legacies of our own.</p>\n<p>I remember my grandfather\'s funeral several years ago. In my eulogy to him, I looked out at his four children, one of which was my father. I looked out at his grandchildren-my sisters and my cousins. I thanked my grandfather for leaving a legacy-these wonderful legacies of successful descendants, who will take his torch and move forward. What I didn\'t realize at the time was that you don\'t have to die in order to leave a legacy. Watching your children and grandchildren grow, live, love and learn-actively participating in this living legacy-is arguably life\'s greatest gift.</p>\n<p>People continue to ask me why I came to Bangkok. My students ask. My fellow teachers ask. Some of my employers ask. I\'ve even been asked at job interviews. My answers were ordinary and, quite frankly, boring: To teach English, to travel, to see the world, and to meet many different people. This is all true. But it\'s only part of the story: A very small part.</p>\n<p>Now here\'s the REAL reason why I came to Thailand. I came here to live life the way it ought to be lived; I came here not to find myself, but to BE myself; I came here to live the story of MY life, not anyone else\'s; I came here to do what matters most; I came here not because I expect more from life, but because life expects more from me; I came here not to change people, but to have them change me.</p>\n<p>But most of all, I came here to leave a legacy. My grandparents passed the legacy torch to my parents, and they, in turn, passed it down to me. This legacy is an awesome responsibility. Contained within this legacy is the responsibility to make my parents and family proud; to not let them down.</p>\n<p>Five and a half years later, I wouldn\'t change a word.</p>\n<p>One day in May 2009 I met Mila for breakfast. We ate and talked. I really didn\'t want to be there, but I had to. She admitted everything: The lies, the cheating, and the deception. She apologized. I forgave her. Was it a sincere apology? Who knows? It sure looked that way. But I heard the words I needed to hear. Then I left for Thailand. I had moved on. I had put all of this crap behind me. Or so I thought.</p>\n<p>I stand in front of my mother\'s grave on a cold winter afternoon, my father standing next to me, Poochie waiting in the car. Snow and ice cover the ground, my heart heavy with sadness and regret. I look down at my mother\'s name: Eleanor Schertzer. I kiss my hand and gently touch the letters. I silently apologize to her for my poor judgment, for choosing women clearly not worthy of her and how she raised me. Then I read my mother this message from www.mothers.net</p>\n<h3>A Mother\'s Love</h3>\n<p>A mother\'s love! What can compare with it! Of all things on earth, it comes nearest to divine love in heaven. <br />A mother\'s love means a life\'s devotion - and sometimes a life\'s sacrifice - with but one thought, one hope and one feeling that her children will grow up healthy and strong, free from evil habits and able to provide for them. Her sole wish is that they may do their part like men and women, avoid dangers and pitfalls, and when dark hours come, trust in Providence to give them strength, patience and courage to bear up bravely.</p>\n<p><em>Happy is the mother when her heart\'s wish is answered, and happy are sons and daughters when they can feel that they have contributed to her noble purpose, and in some measure, repaid her unceasing, unwavering love and devotion.</em> <br />Anonymous</p>\n<p>I get into my father\'s car, Poochie wagging his tail, as my father begins to drive to Rena\'s house. I think about the dangers and pitfalls that I didn\'t avoid while living and working overseas, and I wonder, what will I learn from them?</p>\n<p>I am in Thailand having flown there from the Philippines. I was to look for a teaching position. I put the recent past behind me. At least I thought I had. After all, I had forgiven Mila, and as for Luzviminda, well, that was over too. I wanted to forgive her as well, but I wasn\'t sure for what. For ignoring me when I needed her understanding? For proving to me that she was just another typical Filipina hell bent on finding a foreigner who will rescue her from squalor? I had met her family just a few months before. I had spent a week with them living in their house. I fell in love with Luzviminda\'s family. Her mother reminded me of mine: Kind, loving, and so dedicated to the well-being of her husband and children that you could see it in the air. I deeply respected her father. He was also dedicated and hard-working. They would have made wonderful in-laws. I still had no idea what I was to forgive Luzviminda for. I asked her in an email, but she never responded.</p>\n<p>I tried to look for a teaching position while in Thailand from May to August 2009, but my heart just wasn\'t into it. I couldn\'t concentrate. I couldn\'t focus. I had lost my energy, my drive to succeed. I barely functioned at all. I stayed in my hotel and watched the news. I did go out to eat and drink. There were nights when I drank and drank and drank. I tried to forget, but the more I tried to forget the more I remembered.</p>\n<p>Mila cheating on me while I was at home watching my mother die. It\'s one thing to have a girlfriend cheat on you. It\'s another thing to watch your mother die. Now put them together. I would rather have had all my money taken from me by any selfish, self-centered, and self-absorbed Filipina than to go through this. I could always go back to work and make the money back. I would rather have had both of my legs chopped off. I could always get fake legs. But there was nothing, absolutely nothing that could compare to this agony in my soul. And then there was Luzviminda ignoring my cries for help and understanding. It would be 10 months before she wrote back expressing any sympathy at all over the loss of my mother, and that was only because I got her family involved by sending them messages on their Facebook page.</p>\n<p>I took sleeping pills on occasion so I wouldn\'t have to wake up in total darkness. The darkness just before the dawn was always the toughest part of any day. Sometimes the sleeping pills helped. Many other times they didn\'t. The darkness enveloped me in terror and extreme melancholy. It felt like a huge weight, driving me deeper and deeper into the bed\'s box spring, pinning me like a wrestler night after night.</p>\n<p>Then I hit bottom. I can\'t remember exactly when it was, but it was sometime in June 2009, not long after my 50th birthday. I was lying in bed. I was drunk and probably smelled bad. I remember lying there in the fetal position. Tears started dropping out of my eyes. I may have been whimpering, although I don\'t remember making any sound. I sat up in bed and in total darkness picked up the picture of me and my mother which I kept on the nightstand; the very same picture I had taken just weeks before her death and now keep in my room. I picked up that picture and began talking to my dead mother. I apologized to her. I told her that I had really screwed up. I asked for her forgiveness. Then I lied down again, my legs going back into the fetal position. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. And that\'s when I saw it.</p>\n<p>With my eyes closed I saw a small light from the corner of the room. I slowly opened my eyes as the light became larger and brighter. And that\'s when I saw her: My mother. Not my mother of the last 20 years, but my mother of 40 years ago. She filled the room with light as she came to me. Her light bathed me with comfort and solace. She did not speak. She didn\'t have to. I did not speak. I couldn\'t.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know how long my mother was there for me that night. Probably not for long: Just enough to let me know that everything would be all right, and that I will be just fine. In fact, she let me know that I will be more than fine. She forgave me like she always did. But she wanted me to forgive myself. She knew that that would take time. Then my mother left as quickly as she appeared. It was at that precise moment when I knew that I would be all right. It would take another seven or eight months, six of which would be spent at home with family, but thanks to my mother\'s love from beyond this earth, I would be all right.</p>\n<p>I\'m standing at my mother\'s grave. It was a cool late summer day in September; just days after arriving home from Thailand. From www.mothers.net, I read my mother this poem:</p>\n<h3>Mother</h3>\n<p>They were lovely all the mothers <br />of the days of long ago.<br />With their gentle, quiet faces<br />and their hair as white as snow.</p>\n<p>They were middle-aged at forty;<br />at fifty donned lace caps<br />And at sixty clung to shoulder shawls<br />and loved their little naps.<br /><br />But I love the modern mother,<br />who can share in all our joys.<br />And who understands the problems<br />of her growing girls and boys.<br /><br />She may boast that she\'s older,<br />but her heart is twenty-three...<br />My glorious bright-eyed mother<br />who is keeping young with me.</p>\n<p>Author Unknown</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo: My glorious wide-eyed mother (in 1978) who is keeping young with me</em></p>\n<p>\n<p>On the way to Rena\'s house that day my father told me something about my mother that I didn\'t know. She chose to be cremated because she was scared, actually terrified, of having her soul transferred into another person upon her death. Even though cremation is supposedly against Jewish law, my mother did not want her \"diseased\" soul to enter another person. We obeyed my mother\'s wishes and had her cremated.</p>\n<p>She had a tough life, my mother. Those last 20 years could not have been easy: Sitting in a wheelchair, having to be driven to a shopping mall whenever she wanted to get her hair done. Even in wheelchairs women still want to look pretty; especially when they are in wheelchairs. Those last three or four years must have been torture for my mother. Not being able to consume solid food; having your meat and vegetables mashed and grinded down to a fine powder; having to be taken to the bathroom whenever nature called. But somehow through all that, my mother was able to keep at least some dignity. <br />During the last year or so of her life, my mother almost completely lost the ability to clear her throat. If some phlegm or excess saliva builds up in our esophagus, we simply make that awful but necessary throat-clearing sound and we can breathe and speak properly again. That\'s something we take for granted. But my mother lost that ability towards the end of her life, and I was scared to death whenever I saw her that summer that she was going to choke on her own spit.</p>\n<p>During that summer in July and August 2008, my father, my sisters Rhonda and Rena, and I would meet every Monday evening at my mother\'s nursing home. Rena would often be the last to arrive, and for good reason. After finishing a day\'s work, she would stop at Tim Horton\'s Coffee Shop and buy, for my mother, an iced-cappuccino in a transparent plastic cup. My mother cherished those iced-cappuccinos. After her dinner of mashed and grinded down something-or-other, we would all go back to her room to watch my mother lovingly drink her coffee. My mother taught me many things: Be nice to people, don\'t burn bridges. I didn\'t always listen. But one lesson I have taken with me to this day: Take the time to enjoy a good cup of coffee. That\'s a lesson in patience. If it weren\'t for the wheelchair and the depressing hospital-like surroundings, I might have thought, just for one brief moment, that I was a teenager again back home in the suburbs of Montreal; my glorious bright-eyed mother who is keeping young with me, and is enjoying her weekly iced-cappuccino.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Photo: My twin sisters Rena and Rhonda and my mother and I.</p>\n<p>\n<p>In late August 2008 I went back to my middle-school in Busan South Korea to finish my third one-year contract with EPIK. That last Monday evening, moments after my mother finished her iced-cappuccino, I kissed her goodbye for what was to be the last time. I knelt down next to her and, in her ear whispered, \"I love you.\" Those were the last words I said to her. Then my father and I went home. One week later, on September 1, 2008, my mother died peacefully in her sleep.</p>\n<p>I have wanted to write this for eight or nine months now, but every time I\'ve tried, I felt paralyzed; and, quite frankly, scared. Scared of my feelings towards certain people; and scared, not of their reactions, but of mine. I have never been any good at hiding my emotions, and I am not going to pretend to feel anything less than revolted and disgusted by the behavior of Mila and Luzviminda. Although they have played a major role in this story, they cannot be allowed to determine how I continue to remember my mother.</p>\n<p>It would be easy, so easy, to look at Mila and Luzviminda as little more than third-world savages; uncouth, uncivilized, and lacking all compassion for everyone but themselves and their own immediate loved ones. But I won\'t and I can\'t. After all, I have spent time with them; I have shared meals with them; I have met many of their family members. And I loved them. I have made love with them. (Not at the same time.) And I had thought that maybe there was a future with either of them. No, they are not third-world savages. We do, however, live in world of good and evil. And I do believe that these two women are evil. Yes there are evil women everywhere. This I know. And looking back it was my fault. I chose them. That is why I had asked my mother for her forgiveness. That is why it is taking me so long to forgive myself.</p>\n<p>There is no country on earth that can boast that their women are without fault. There is no reason, no reason at all, that these two Filipinas should have done what they did. There is no reason to cheat on your boyfriend while his mother lay dying, regardless of the relationship status. There is no reason why I should have waited 10 months to receive an email from an ex-girlfriend expressing her condolences over the death of my mother; again, regardless of the relationship status. After all, we all have a mother. We all came from someone. If there is one thing in this world that has the power and potential to unite us, one thing that transcends the limitations of geography, society, language, culture, race, and religion, one thing that allows us to see our common humanity, it is this:</p>\n<p><strong>WE ALL HAVE A MOTHER. <br /></strong>If these two Filipinas cannot understand that, if many women of the Philippines or Thailand or any other of the women in Southeast Asia choose not to allow that obvious fact, principle, and value to be the guiding force of their behavior and their actions, then we are all dead.</p>\n<p>It occurred to me recently that I was not only mourning my mother\'s death. In some ways I am also mourning the death of compassion, the death of hope, the death of love, and the death of humanity.</p>\n<p><strong>WE ALL HAVE A MOTHER.</strong></p>\n<p>Mila and Luzviminda did say that they loved me. They did say that they wanted to spend the rest of their life with me. But how could you claim to love someone and then choose not to share in his darkest hour? How can you love someone and choose not to share his deep sorrow and anguish over the death of his mother? How can you dare say the word \"love\" and then pour salt into a hugely sensitive open wound? How can you say \"I love you\", then not be there for him when he needed you the most?</p>\n<p>We cannot consider ourselves human until we choose with responsibility to share in another person\'s sorrow. It\'s easy to share with someone only the good times. But the true test of character is the ability to put aside, even temporarily, one\'s own selfish pursuits so that we can share in the pain and suffering of others. That is how compassion and empathy is learned. <br />I didn\'t do my research before I got involved with these two Filipinas. For if I had, if I had googled the word \"Filipina\", I would have been inundated with seedy and pornographic Websites. Everything from Webcam girls to Internet Cyber brides would have been on display. After all, the Philippines is a country that for decades has pimped its own citizens for cheap labor to 200 different countries. Filipinas are notorious worldwide for selling themselves to foreign men far older than themselves. Luzviminda did tell me that she wanted her husband to be from Canada. Did she want me to think it was because she likes hockey? Or that she couldn\'t wait to learn French in Montreal, and build a snowman in December complete with a corncob pipe and a button nose?</p>\n<p>I knew things would change for me once I got through this. Somehow I knew that once I had stopped crying and feeling sorry for myself, things would change. Everything that I thought was solid would now be liquid, and everything that I thought was liquid would now be solid. I don\'t put my trust or faith in people anymore. Not that I did before in abundance. My trust and faith is in principles and long held values, not in people. Principles and values such as love and respect for family, hard work, responsibility, sacrifice, service to the community, commitment to your job. I judge people only by their actions. Words may mean things to others, but unless they are backed up with concrete action which moves humanity forward, they mean nothing to me.</p>\n<p>Luzviminda was angry at me recently because I had called her evil. She even deleted me from her Facebook page. Part of my response when I sent her a message on her Facebook page was simply this: <br />\"You misunderstood, Luz. This is not about you. It\'s about what life expects of you. This is not about me. It\'s about what life expects of me. It\'s about what life expects from all of us. And what life expects from all of us is this: That when one of us suffers, we all suffer: That when one of us is in pain, we are all in pain. We are expected, from life, to empathize with each other. We are expected, from life, (or God; what you call God, I call life), to become a guiding light for another when that other is in darkness. Do you have any idea what that really means?</p>\n<p>That\'s why I call you evil; because in my one year of darkness after the loss of my mother, you did not turn on the light that would have eased my pain and sorrow. And you could have easily done that. It was what life, and God, expected you to do. I would have done that for you in a second. If would not have mattered to me the status of our relationship. If you were in pain over the loss of a loved one, I would have turned on the light to ease your darkness.</p>\n<p>\"That would have been my obligation and what life, and God, would have expected of me.\" <br />What disappoints me even more is the fact that Luzviminda is an elementary school teacher, and, because of that, she should know better. She, like me and so many other teachers, has the enormous responsibility of teaching the next generation to respect themselves and to respect others. That means teaching our students to recognize and acknowledge the pain and suffering of others. But in order to do that, we must first learn how to develop those traits in ourselves.</p>\n<p>What makes us evil is not just that we slept with someone else, or ignored another, or abused someone, or even killed someone. What makes us evil is that we can do these things and not lose a moment\'s peace. What makes Mila evil is that she can have sex with another man while my mother lay dying AND not even lose any sleep that night. What makes Luzviminda evil is that she can ignore me for 10 months while I mourn my deceased mother AND have pictures taken of her while she stands there laughing and eating chicken. It\'s not just the act that makes us evil, but what we choose to do afterwards; without the slightest concern or regret for what we have done. It would be like killing someone in their home, and then calmly picking up the phone to order a pizza, then eating the pizza as the body goes cold, then going to the bathroom for a good poop before taking a shower and cleaning up all the blood. Once the body \"disappears\", the killer then goes home, takes off his shoes, turns on the evening news, and has a great night\'s sleep. Now that\'s evil. Both Mila and Luzviminda call themselves Christian, but obviously they and their fellow countrymen have a very long way to go before they can truly claim to be anything like Jesus.</p>\n<p>I began this blog with a quote by Viktor Frankl. It is one of my favorite quotes and something I try to live by. To paraphrase, it\'s not what you expect from life that matters, it\'s what life expects from you. Frankl was a psychoanalyst and a holocaust survivor. To put his quote into perspective, while in a concentration camp during World War Two, Frankl met a number of fellow prisoners who were suicidal. He talked many of them out of killing themselves by saying those very important words. To put Frankl\'s words onto context, here is the paragraph from which the quote was taken.</p>\n<p>\"What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude toward life. We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who are being questioned by life ---- daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answers to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.\" (\"Man\'s Search for Meaning\", Viktor E. Frankl, Pocket Books, New York, New York. 1985. p. 98.) <br />I have forgiven Mila and Luzviminda for their wrongdoing; I forgave them for my mother, and to free myself and to help myself move forward. I also wished them luck in their own future, but hold out little hope that any self-centered Filipina of this generation will heed the words of Viktor Frankl.</p>\n<p>I have come a long way in the last year and a very long way in the last two years. I almost lost everything. By everything, I mean my soul. I almost lost my soul. And I know I can never go back there. I can never put myself in a position where my very soul is at stake. The searing pain I felt last year over the circumstances of my mother\'s death is not as searing as it once was. It remains a dull ache and it\'s something I will never get over.</p>\n<p>While at home a few months ago I wrote a blog for www.ajarn.com. It took the form of a letter titled \"The Promise of Tomorrow: Making the Classroom a Sacred Place.\" In it I outlined my teaching philosophy, quoted from a book by Greg Mortenson titled \"Stones into Schools\", and talked about a few of my teacher heroes. I promised what I had always promised and have tried to live by for so many years: To do the best for my students; to go the extra mile as a teacher to help my students succeed; to make a positive difference in their lives; and to leave a lasting legacy for years to come.</p>\n<p>I received this comment from John Penny, the Director of Studies at Mahathai Suksa School in Khon Kaen Thailand: <br />\"Steve, will you join my team...please...! I love what you wrote and the sentiments/no, commitments you express in this blog epitomize everything I desire of teachers in my team and everything I aspire to. Reading contributions like this (and meeting some fine people at Thai TESOL last week) give me hope for the future.\"</p>\n<p>Now this rarely happens to me; in fact, only twice since I began writing these blogs in 2004 have I received an opportunity to apply for a teaching position. So I wrote to John and asked him to tell me more about the school and the city of Khon Kaen. And that started a relationship that has brought me here today. Leaving a lasting legacy for Thai students is something that is important for John as well. I think it was these two comments in separate emails from John that touched me most and gave me hope.</p>\n<p>\"I came here because the kids deserve the best that we can give them, and the parents pay money that some can ill afford so their kids can have this opportunity. We have to do better and I am determined to do so!\"</p>\n<p>\"If you come here I would like to think it will be with a view to a two or three year stint...so that you get to see your own legacy.\"</p>\n<p>That\'s what I\'m talking about: Going out of our way so that we can see the students succeed, because if they don\'t succeed, we don\'t succeed. A legacy: Now there\'s a word that\'s often thrown around. But how many of us are actually here to leave a positive and lasting legacy for our students?</p>\n<p>In December 2004 I wrote about coming to Bangkok to live out my mother\'s legacy. That hasn\'t changed. In fact, my desire to teach to my students the lessons that my mother taught me--- hard work, love of life, maintaining dignity against all odds, taking responsibility for one\'s actions, sacrifice, service, commitment to a cause larger than yourself, and perseverance in the face of adversity--- is stronger than ever.</p>\n<p>My mother may be gone from this world, but she lives on. She lives on in my heart and in my soul. She leaves her fingerprint on whatever I do. She is there for me when I need her, like that night in a Thailand hotel room where she lit up the night so that I could see a way out of my deep melancholy and spiritual morass. Thank you so much mom.</p>\n<p>Friedrich Nietzsche said \"He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how.\" My why to live for is simply this: My mother and my students. There is a deep and lasting connection there and one as powerful as anyone can imagine. Living your mother\'s legacy is an awesome responsibility, but a responsibility that I welcome everyday with an open heart. It is my mission and my passion. I have been given a great opportunity to make a wonderful and positive difference in the lives of my students. I have also been granted an opportunity to live my mother\'s legacy. I will put them together as I walk into the classroom each and every day. After all, that is what life expects of me. And that is what my mother would have wanted.</p>\n<p>So my responsibility to you mom, what life expects of me, is that I remember you. I will remember you with fondness and a deep unwavering love. I will remember you as you were in the last weeks of your life, and I will remember you as you were when you stood in the kitchen of our house loving preparing a meal for your children. I will remember you reading me stories when I was small, and I will remember you scolding me when I deserved it when I was not so small. But most of all mom, I will honor you. I will honor you by taking you with me to school every day. I will honor you by sharing with my students the values and lessons in life that you lovingly and patiently taught me. I will honor you mom by being your living legacy. You live on in me.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Photo: My mother on the far left before she became my mother.&nbsp; She is standing next to her sisters.</p>','','2010-05-02 03:25:29',1,'2010-05-02 03:25:29','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1628,52,'May 2010','may-2010','Fancy taking your TEFL course in Thailand?

Employees who normally work well past their allotted finishing time will be racing each other to the elevator to get back home for the early evening fixtures.','<p>Well, we\'re about a month away from the big kick off.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I trust that you\'ve scrawled a great big red circle around June 14th in your diary because that\'s when it all starts - the greatest sporting spectacular on earth - The Football World Cup.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s the opportunity for Russia to show off its finest soccer stadia and the world\'s toughest football hooligans to get together and bond over a few beers in the town square. &nbsp;Nothing brings nations closer together more than the beautiful game.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wow! Seven world cups!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Actually, something just dawned on me. I\'ve lived in Thailand through no fewer than seven world cup tournaments. Who could forget the razzmatazz of USA 1994, the joint Korea / Japan tournament of 2004 and the pain-in-the-arse vuvuzelas of South Africa 2010.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s been interesting over the years to watch Thailand develop into such a fanatical football loving nation and that passion for football is never more evident than when the world cup rolls around. Yes folks, it\'s that time of year when half of your corporate business English class - noticeably the male half - suddenly disappears without trace.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And as half of the students sneak off to watch Korea against Sweden in a group C opener, you\'re left with a training room full of non-footy fans - a handful of females and the guy with glasses from the accounting department.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher, you should never be downhearted that the majority of your class have decided that Iran versus Morocco is more attractive than you prattling on about subject-verb agreement, because frankly speaking, you\'re lucky to have found some well-paid corporate work anyway. I\'ve got no sympathy.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Thanks Dad</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A month before the tournament begins, my father will kindly send me some sort of English language world cup guide.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s usually a glossy magazine affair with pen pictures of all the squads for each country, a section on how the teams got to the finals, and enough comment and opinion to keep your average armchair fan occupied for hours.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then of course there\'s the pull-out wall-chart, which you can spread out over the coffee table and see all the fixtures, dates and venues in their full glory. Once you\'ve found yourself a nice pen with which to enter the scores, it all goes well until about the fourth match of the tournament, when you mistakenly enter the final score as nil-nil before realising it was actually 1-1. Have you ever tried changing zeros into ones? Nah, it can\'t be done. So your life is basically ruined. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then comes the job of painstakingly re-arranging your life for one whole month so that you don\'t miss a single throw-in or close-up shot of a manager picking his nose. There are endless logistical nightmares.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you keep that appointment at 9.00 on Tuesday morning, you won\'t be able to stay up until the early hours watching Saudi Arabia play Colombia. You could move the appointment to later in the afternoon, but get stuck in traffic on the way home and you could well miss the opening five minutes between Senegal and Panama. The world is suddenly a very stressful place to live in.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Here we go</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Cometh the opening game and I\'m perched on the edge of the sofa with a huge mug of coffee. The wife knows to keep out of the way, leaving just me and a well-thumbed world cup guide. I\'m so excited I can even sit through two hours of opening ceremony (five hundred local schoolchildren prancing around with lengths of colored chiffon and a twenty-minute speech from some FIFA dinosaur who never played football in his life)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I can even endure the traditionally tedious opening encounter between the host nation and Paraguay, which unsurprisingly finishes goalless. &nbsp;In fact there was just one shot on goal in 94 minutes of football and the ball ended up in a different post code - but look on the bright side - things can only get better. &nbsp;The soccer pundits are saying exactly the same thing. Things can only get better.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But they never ever do.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Up next is another battle between two footballing superpowers - Slovenia and Algeria. It might be kicking off at one in the morning Thai time but I\'m determined to stay with it - even if it means splashing my face with icy cold water at ten minute intervals.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But there\'s nothing like a cat-and-mouse, midfield tussle between Slovenia and Algeria to make you realize that you probably have far better things to do with your life. Finally you succumb to exhaustion, fall asleep and miss the last quarter of an hour. You also miss the only goal of the game. The following morning, the BBC Sport website describes it as the greatest goal ever seen on the international stage - and you were comatose on the sofa you dickhead.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A broken man</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But as I climbed the stairs to bed for three hours of poor quality sleep, there was but one single thought in my mind. - The World Cup can go and do one. Two days and two games into the tournament and I\'m a broken man. I\'m beginning to question whether I actually like football anymore.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The following day, I open the world cup wall chart with considerably less enthusiasm. I scribble an X next to England\'s three qualifying group games. At least I can still get excited about those.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But what about when England get knocked out by the Germans on penalties? Hmmm ..... I might force myself to watch the semi-finals. No, that\'s just being silly. I\'ll definitely watch the final though. But how can I possibly spend so many hours watching football when I could be rearranging my sock drawer?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I mean, come on, no one has the time or the inclination to sit through every single one of the 60-odd games that take place. No one except those two guys who work for the Thai TV network, and have the job of deciding if there\'s enough dead time to slip in a quick TV commercial.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\'s gone out for a throw-in, quick! Stick that commercial for energy drinks on. Hang about! the ball\'s gone into the crowd as well! Let\'s see if we can get away with the one for energy drinks AND the one for engine oil. It\'s only Peru v Afghanistan for pete\'s sake\"</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A caring company</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s go back to the topic of Thailand and football fever. Larger companies in Bangkok (and I presume it happens elsewhere in Thailand) are fully aware that work is going to be severely disrupted during world cup month. Employees who normally work well past their allotted finishing time will be racing each other to the elevator to get back home for the early evening fixtures.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those employees who stay up half the night watching football and adverts for engine oil will be rolling up for work the following day whenever they feel like it. Many companies expect this and brace themselves for it. The only thing they can do is enter into the spirit of the tournament.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the noblest company gestures I ever saw was during the world cup of 2002 in Japan and Korea. The time difference between Japan and Thailand meant many of the games were kicking off at about 4.30pm - at least half an hour before the end of the Thai working day.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the time I was doing some corporate training at a Bangkok pharmaceutical company. But during The World Cup, not only did the company allow staff to finish half an hour early but they also set up a special lounge with a wide-screen TV and complimentary snacks and drinks. Now that\'s my kind of company.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It actually worked well because it brought staff from different departments together. Staff that normally wouldn\'t interact with each other found themselves predicting results, analyzing the previous day\'s games and p<span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">lacing bets with money they could ill afford to lose.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Even delivery drivers and other staff from \'the lower orders\' were invited up to a part of the building they rarely got to see. As a team-building exercise, it worked wonderfully well.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, roll on June 14th and the opening match - Russia v Saudi Arabia. &nbsp;Now doesn\'t that set the pulse racing? &nbsp;</p>','','2018-05-17 03:30:00',1,'2010-05-12 03:30:28','2018-05-17 13:54:09'),(1658,21,'In the thick of it','in-the-thick-of-it','How are you coping with the troubles?','Calling all teachers.

The students terrorised him the entire year.</p>\n<p>In another class, Ms White, short, skinny and a new teacher marched into her classroom with confidence. The students were instantly obedient and remained so for the rest of the year.</p>\n<p>Why did students find it so easy to know which teacher could properly manage a classroom?</p>\n<p>It takes students about 20 seconds to judge a new teacher, not talking time, but 20 seconds from the first moment they see the teacher enter the room and walk to the front. This is the time we, as teachers, have to impress new students with our ability to control a class and teach.</p>\n<p>Therefore, when in the front of the class, smile, look confident and wait for the lull in the noise level that should happen, then start. If students start to make noises again, speak softer. If that does not bring about any change, wait.</p>\n<p>If they do not quiet down, you have lost the battle, and unless you gain control, students will be in charge. If this happens, you are off to a hard start and will probably need to be vigilant about students\' behaviour throughout the term.</p>\n<p>In addition, while students often expect to have a 20-minute class on the first day and then leave early, a good way to establish control is to be prepared for, and give the students, a full class.</p>\n<p><strong>Adapting to conditions</strong></p>\n<p>If you have established rules for class behaviour, explain them to the students. One rule worth mentioning is for students to think twice about sending medical certificates for absences. In Thailand, it costs about 30 baht to obtain a medical certificate, which is not a huge expense for any student wishing to miss a class.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, insist that if they are truly sick, while at the medical facility, they should take a picture with today\'s newspaper, just like in a kidnapping, and bring it with the certificate.</p>\n<p>By insisting on this rule, new teachers can demonstrate knowledge of their culture that should receive a few positive comments from students. While better students will make the effort to take the photos, it makes all students realise that attendance will be necessary if they want to pass.</p>\n<p><strong>Seating </strong></p>\n<p>When students pick their own seats, invariably, the better students will choose to be in front, while the average ones and those who will need the most help tend to be in the middle. Students who do not want to take part in class usually occupy the back row.</p>\n<p>One way to make certain to the students that you know why they have selected to sit in a particular section is to draw a plan and label the classroom as having A-students in the front row; B-students behind the first section; C-students in the third row; and D- and F-students in the rows farther back.</p>\n<p>While few students will move, those who arrive late, or who decide later that they would like to participate actively, know where they should move to in the next lesson.</p>\n<p>Be tough the first week and let things become more relaxed as you get to know and trust the students. By doing so, by the end of the semester you will find a middle ground that will enable you to accomplish what needs to be covered while allowing students more freedom than the level established at the beginning of the school year.</p>\n<p>However, if you start by being too relaxed and overly easy-going, it can be a very, very tough challenge to regain control once it has been lost.</p>\n<h3><strong>Section 2 Establish a student buddy system</strong></h3>\n<p>When I teach large classes, as many as 220, my goal is to spend as much time as I is possible teaching instead of administering.</p>\n<p>A major time killer is dealing with anything distributed in a previous class, ranging from handouts to homework assignments. To combat this administrative nightmare, I nip it in the bud by establishing a buddy study system.</p>\n<p>At the start of each term, I instruct each student to pick a partner, someone who will pick up handouts, explain homework assignments and hand in their homework if they are absent.</p>\n<p>In addition, I have each set of buddies find another set in the event both students are absent. In this way, there should always be someone to pick things up and pass them on to the right people.</p>\n<p>Even in small classes where I have forgotten to apply this rule, the time needed to give handouts to students who were absent can take away from my lesson plan and from those who were present the week before.</p>\n<p><strong>Handouts and the buddy system</strong></p>\n<p>When I distribute handouts, I make enough for the class and pass them out in mass. I do not expect any returns. If some are returned, this immediately signals that a study buddy has not taken a copy or perhaps both buddies are absent and that their back-up buddy has forgotten to take copies.</p>\n<p>Early in the term, I will take time to ask students to make sure they have a copy for anyone missing. If no one comes forward to pick up extra handouts, I throw them away. Invariably, students are shocked by the idea I am not keeping extra copies for those absent, but it is effective in demonstrating I am serious about the need to have a buddy.</p>\n<p>The next class, when students who were absent from the previous class or classes ask for handouts, I suggest they talk to their buddy and get what they need. As I do not keep extra copies with me, I make it clear I will not make more or look through my own documents.</p>\n<p>If I bring a copy for myself, I mark it with yellow highlight pen, which does not appear on photocopies, with a very large, \"TC\" (teacher copy). Originals, which I never bring to class, are marked with a large \"O\" (original).</p>\n<p>After a few frustrated attempts to get a handout from a previous class, students give up relying on me and look to their buddy, which in turn relieves me of a time wasting administrative task.</p>\n<p>I should add that for the first few weeks, handouts are not that important and if students are missing one or more handouts, it does not really matter. However, two to three weeks into the term, when students have learned the system, handouts become more important.</p>\n<p><strong>Homework buddies</strong></p>\n<p>I use the same system for homework. If students are absent when homework is due, they should give it to a buddy to hand in. If homework is late, I do not want it and as homework is always assigned two classes ahead, theoretically, this should not be a problem.</p>\n<p>I insist on not accepting late homework, as I like to correct it and get it back in the next class. Again, I do not have time to check if homework being handed in late was by someone who was in class, but did not do it.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, I do not want students copying homework handed in by another student and already corrected. This would not be fair to those who do it on time and on their own.</p>\n<p>If I have less than 40 students, I give homework back individually to get to know students. However, with 50 or more students, it is too timing consuming, so I leave the papers on a desk for them to pick up at break or after class.</p>\n<p>While this system might seem unduly strict, it allows me to spend time with students who come to class and not with those who were absent. It allows me to begin my lesson plan without too much delay, which is my overriding goal.</p>\n<p>It makes students responsible for keeping up with the class and helping each other with day-to-day assignments and homework.</p>\n<p>Finally, it allows me more time to work with students who were in class and who are trying, but need extra help.</p>\n<h3>Section 3 Dealing with homework</h3>\n<p>Teaching a large class requires special organisational skills if a teacher is going to have any time to do anything besides correcting homework. The key to managing, correcting, grading and recording a massive volume of homework is to establish easy-to-follow, albeit firm, rules that students must follow.</p>\n<p><strong>Homework style sheet</strong></p>\n<p>First, I clearly establish what homework should look like. It must be on A4 paper, double-spaced, neat and legible. I have students who believe that if they hand in illegible work, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and award a higher mark. Wrong. If I cannot read it - as with the IELTS (International English Language Testing System), I do not mark it. I simply hand it back with the lowest score.</p>\n<p>As I need room for writing corrections or making suggestions, students lose a mark if they hand in work that is not double-spaced. With 40 or more assignments to read, one single-spaced sheet of paper after another tends to become increasingly difficult to correct, and can subconsciously lower the grades given to the papers that follow.</p>\n<p>Second, their full name and roster number must be on all homework. Not just a nickname, they must include their full name and class roster number. If roster numbers are not on my student register, I produce a sheet for students to sign each week for attendance purposes and insist they remember the number next to their name.</p>\n<p>I find many rosters have unusual alphabetical orders, and if a number on their homework can save a few minutes looking for a name, it is worth the effort getting students to include it. During the first few weeks, I will write their number on their work if they forget, but in the fourth or fifth week, I start to deduct one mark for any incorrect style or incomplete administrative information provided at the top of their homework.</p>\n<p><strong>Homework titles</strong></p>\n<p>In most writing classes, I have three types of writing work to collect. First, there is homework assigned at the beginning of the term and handed in on a regular basis - for example, a different paragraph due in each class. At the beginning of the term, I give a list of 250 topics and allow them to select the ones they like. (If you would like this list, let me know.) Second, there is homework assigned in a previous class based on what we covered. Third, there is work that students complete during class that I would like to review.</p>\n<p>I assign each type of homework a unique number, title and due date. I record these details in my list. For example, a regular assignment due today would be \"Regular Paragraph #12: 05 August 2010 - My Dreams\"; special homework would be \"HW #13: 05 August 2010 - Frequency Adverbs\"; and class work would be \"CW #08: 21 July 2010, Clauses\". If any details are missing, I take off a grade. Invariably, I only need to penalise a student once before they realise I am serious.</p>\n<p><strong>Assigning homework</strong></p>\n<p>I only assign and explain homework in class. In the first week, I assign the regular homework assignment. I explain what I expect, how it will look and how I will collect, correct and grade their work. I give students time to discuss the homework and my expectations. If they have questions, I answer them. If they do not have questions, I assume they know what to do.</p>\n<p>However, students will come to see me later to ask questions, and, while it is very difficult to refuse, I make a point of not providing any more details or explaining once again what I want them to do. They have an opportunity to ask in class, use it. When I assign homework, listen. If you have questions, ask. If shy, write your questions and give them to me. In short, use your English.</p>\n<p>In the next class, I will go over their questions, which often prompt other questions. This often leads into further and more detailed discussions about what is expected, thereby reducing the need to explain the same things repeatedly.</p>\n<p>With clear and easy-to-understand rules in place, and a fair and impartial administration, less time is spent on homework administration. I have more time to review students\' homework and to prepare for upcoming classes. More importantly, during class, it allows me more time to work with students.</p>\n<p><strong>Collecting, correcting and grading homework</strong></p>\n<p>With clear and easy-to-understand homework rules in place, and a fair and impartial administration, a limited amount of time is needed to deal with homework administration, allowing a teacher more time to prepare for upcoming classes and more time in class for the planned lesson.</p>\n<p><strong>Collecting homework</strong></p>\n<p>Homework assignments must be on my desk when I arrive. I usually provide a few minutes, but then I close their window of opportunity. I will not accept late homework, especially from someone in class. If I am teaching 40 to 60 students, I do not have time to circulate to make certain they are not working on their \"homework\" or to remember who arrived late.</p>\n<p>However, knowing that even the best students sometimes encounter problems, they have two options. First, if it is a regular assignment, for example, a paragraph due in each class, they can hand in multiple assignments and get ahead of schedule. Second, for all other homework assigned, I give a due date, at least two classes in the future so that they can complete and hand it in early. Class work is only accepted in class and only from those present, making it a useful attendance check.</p>\n<p><strong>Correcting homework</strong></p>\n<p>I only correct or grade what I have taught. With each homework assignment, I clearly specify what I will grade - things stronger students could find easy, but more importantly, based on what I have covered in class and what everyone should be able to accomplish to varying degrees of success.</p>\n<p>Receiving homework assignments from a teacher filled with corrections can hurt students\' self-esteem, particularly those trying their best but who remain weak in some areas. However, if I only correct what has been taught, an opportunity for students to learn from their mistakes or to experiment with new ideas is lost.</p>\n<p>To find a balance, I instruct students to underline any portion of their homework they would like me to correct. This can range from areas they know they are weak in to those in which they know they are taking a chance. Whatever is underlined is corrected and excluded from being graded.</p>\n<p>While many students will not avail themselves of this opportunity, many do, and very few abuse it. In offering this option, I gain an insight into areas they find difficult. In addition, it gives them an opportunity to examine their own writing and to analyse areas they could use support. If certain themes become apparent, and if time allows, I include them in the course.</p>\n<p><strong>Grading system</strong></p>\n<p>I employ a \"1 to 5\" scoring system, with \"1\" being the highest. This makes it easy to calculate scores, which can become quite time-consuming with large classes. Each assignment is recorded in a different section, that is, one section for regular homework, one for special homework and one for class work. This also allows students to track their own scores, relieving me of another time-wasting administrative role - updating them on their ongoing grade.</p>\n<p>Each number represents not only a grade, but also the follow-up expected. A \"1\" means they have successfully fulfilled the requirements. A \"2\" means they need to review grammar, spelling or organisation already covered in class but not fully incorporated in their writing.</p>\n<p>If I make corrections on a \"1\" or \"2\" assignment and want the student to rewrite it, I add an \"R\". The student must rewrite the work and resubmit it at the next class, with the revised version stapled on top of the original. Once resubmitted, it is reviewed, returned with the original score, and the \"R\" is removed from the grade sheet. A \"3\", given to students who could have done better if they had tried, requires a rewrite and review of the skills I wanted practised.</p>\n<p>A \"4\" reflects homework handed in simply for the sake of handing in something. Finally, a \"5\" is for an assignment that was a complete waste of my time or is \"miraculously\" identical to other homework.</p>\n<p>Scores of \"4\" and \"5\" are not popular, as both require a student to hand in four (4) or five (5) additional assignments to compensate. Students soon realise they need to be careful with the homework handed in and that the consequences of wasting my time can be severe.</p>\n<p>While some students may be unhappy, I have neat, carefully prepared homework handed in on time and which is easy to read, correct, grade and record. In marking only what I have taught, but offering the option to have some work corrected, students are encouraged to experiment and learn from their mistakes.</p>\n<h3>Section 4: Using activities until books arrive</h3>\n<p>Logistics being what they are, often you will begin teaching a class before the course books have arrived. While it might be fine for class to finish early, it is better to conduct full-length classes from day one, which means teachers might need a \"ready-to-use\" activity to use as a filler.</p>\n<p>During the first class, after introducing the course and conducting other preliminaries, it may be good to use an activity that breaks the ice and indicates students\' language abilities.</p>\n<p>For example, students may be asked to interview one another on their favourite something (animal, colour, car, or TV show). It is best to prepare a list of about 25 ideas before class starts. Depending on the class size, give a different idea to each student.</p>\n<p>Students should ask each of their fellow students the same question, \"What is your favourite ...?\"</p>\n<p>Once they have heard the answers, they must ask the interviewees why they chose those answers. The respondents must give three reasons. This leads to the need for a few sequence markers, such as first, second and finally.</p>\n<p>Some interviewees may need time to think, so the sequence markers could include expressions such as \"let me see\" and \"let me think\", or repetition of part of or the entire question, for example, \"Favourite colour? What is my favourite colour?\"</p>\n<p>Provide the interviewers with cues to use while listening, e.g., \"I see\", \"really\" and \"interesting\".<br />Once they know what to do, encourage the students to interview as many of their classmates as they can. Tell them that while doing so, they must keep track of the answers, which can vary from one-word answers to complex sentences. The type of answer does not matter, but whatever the reply, they need to record it for the second stage.</p>\n<p><strong>Next class</strong></p>\n<p>The second stage of the exercise, often conducted the following week, is to divide the students into small groups of around four persons each and have a student in each group present his or her findings on a person\'s answer to the other members of the group.</p>\n<p>At this time, the speaker is responsible for telling the other members of the group about somebody\'s favourite something.</p>\n<p>While the speaker\'s aim is to present his or her findings and end the report as soon as possible, the listeners\' goal is to prolong this presentation as long as possible with as many interruptions and questions as they can, for example, by asking: \"Last week? Excuse me for interrupting, but what day of last week?\"</p>\n<p>It is useful to provide a number of concrete examples that facilitate a review of \"wh-\" questions. The speaker must answer all the questions and quickly return to their story by saying, for example, \"Okay, now let me continue.\"</p>\n<p>With three people interrupting and one speaking, it should take around three minutes for the speaker to finish. The students then take turns being the presenter and listeners.</p>\n<p>However, because many of the questions used against the first reporter can be reused against subsequent reporters, students should be encouraged to come up with new questions.</p>\n<p>The process should, therefore, take longer and longer for each subsequent reporter to finish their presentations. The last deliverer might take up to 10 minutes to finish. Treat the entire exercise as a game and encourage students to have fun.</p>\n<p><strong>Writing stage</strong></p>\n<p>The third step is to have students write a paragraph based on the information collected. In writing their paragraph, each of them already has the topic question and the responses (like \"... is my favourite ... for three reasons\").</p>\n<p>They also have the sequence markers (first, second, finally, and others). By selecting ideas from different interviews, they should be able to find three good reasons, three supporting sentences and, hopefully, an example or extra information for each idea, as well as three additional supporting sentences.</p>\n<p>In short, they should be able to construct the concluding sentence, \"In conclusion, is my favourite ... because ... (give three reasons).\" In addition, the students should by then be able to write a paragraph that is well organised and consists of sentences arranged in order of importance.</p>\n<p>Regardless of students\' English abilities, this three-part exercise gives students a chance to practise conversation and writing skills, introduces useful discourse markers and, finally, provides teachers with a good opportunity to assess the English skills of each student.</p>\n<h3>When lessons run short</h3>\n<p>Your lesson has finished or fallen apart and now, with 30 minutes left until the bell, you need something to do. The time has come to pull a few tricks out of the bag to keep your students happily busy for the next 30 minutes.</p>\n<p><strong>Memory games</strong></p>\n<p>Memory games are a great way to have students use vocabulary studied and expand their ability to remember things in English, which is by itself an important skill.</p>\n<p>Divide students into small groups of four or five and establish the rules. Students are to repeat, but not write down, a basic, often short, sentence with any additional words, phrases or clauses added as they go around from one student to the next.</p>\n<p>\"Today, I went to the store and bought a pen.\" The second student repeats the sentence and adds a new item: \"Today, I went to the store and bought a pen and a book.\" The third student then repeats the sentence and adds one more item; and so the process moves on.</p>\n<p>If this proves too easy, add quantifiers and adjectives: Two blue pens, three fiction books and eight soft-lead pencils. Other ideas include using verbs, past tense verbs or verbs with prepositional phrases: \"I like to eat, drink and swim\", \"Yesterday, I ate, drank, walked and swam\" or \"I like to eat in bed, swim in the sea and run around my house\".</p>\n<p><strong>Numbers </strong></p>\n<p>Many games using numbers are useful for students who need practice in employing numbers up to about 100.</p>\n<p>In this game, five students sit together and start to count as they go around from one student to the next: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, etc. However, every time a number with a three, a seven, or a multiple of three or seven would normally be said, the student whose turn it is must say the word \"bottle\" instead. In addition, every time a student says \"bottle\", the order reverses.</p>\n<p>For example, student one says \"one\", student two says \"two\", and student three says \"bottle\" (instead of three). The order now reverses to student two who must say \"four\". Student 1 says \"five\", and student five says \"bottle\" (instead of six). The order reverses again, with student one saying \"bottle\" (instead of seven); the order reverses yet again, and student five says \"eight\", and student four says \"bottle\" (instead of nine); the order reverses once more, and student five says \"10\"; and so on.</p>\n<p>Every time a student makes a mistake, he or she drops out of the group and the remainder of the group start anew, which means the dynamics will change. Once all but one student are out, all five begin the game again, starting with the winner, which will again change the dynamics.</p>\n<p><strong>Tongue twisters</strong></p>\n<p>Tongue twisters are fun and great for pronunciation practices: \"A wise woman would not walk in the woods because wandering wolves would get her\"; \"She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are seashore shells\", or \"This thick thistle thrived in that thicket\".</p>\n<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>\n<p>Another game is the \"yes or no\" game, in which one student must answer \"yes\" or \"no\" to questions posed by other students without actually saying the word \"yes\" or \"no\". Once they do, the time taken to reach this point is recorded, with a maximum of three or four minutes allowed. The student with the longest duration is the winner.</p>\n<p>Questions might include \"Are you a student?\", \"Do you like English?\" and \"Did you do your homework?\" Acceptable answers will vary, for example: \"I have been a student for many years\", \"English is my favourite subject\", and \"I completed it last night\".</p>\n<p>Having fillers ready for the class can be fun, as it provides students with a bit of competition, and if lucky, they will fill time with an activity that encourages the use of English.</p>\n<p><strong>Tim Cornwall</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/worried2.jpg','2016-05-09 18:37:56',1,'2016-05-09 18:37:56','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1702,52,'May 2010','may-20101','Fancy taking your TEFL course in Thailand?

And let’s make no mistake about it: the prize specimens are Caucasian white, not some locals having overindulged in skin-whitening products. ','<p>Although I was absolutely no Michael Jackson fan, I do agree with a line from one of his songs stating that \"It don\'t (sic) matter if you\'re black or white\", especially when it comes to recruiting well-qualified and adequate teachers.</p>\n<p>I wholeheartedly agree that black can be beautiful, even if the statement came from one of the whitest black guys that ever walked the Earth.</p>\n<p>This blog article will go a bit deeper into the whole gamut of discriminations EFL teachers are up against when applying for a job in a far away land.</p>\n<h3>Black vs. white</h3>\n<p>Although it is rarely mentioned in job ads, most if not all Asian recruiters on the lookout for teachers are after whities. And let\'s make no mistake about it: the prize specimens are Caucasian white, not some locals having overindulged in skin-whitening products.</p>\n<p>Does that mean blacks (or other shades) have absolutely no chance whatsoever of finding a job? Not really.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of opportunities, but these candidates will just have to look longer and harder before finding a decent position. As there is a chronic English teacher shortage in Asia, things will look up sooner or later as schools get desperate to put teachers in the classrooms.</p>\n<p>Why this preference for white-skinned, blonde-haired and blue-eyed teachers in Asia? I guess most parents mistakenly believe that these are the best teachers. School administrators just go along with their misguided clients as &lsquo;the customer is always right\' (even if they\'re not).</p>\n<p>What to do about it? Not much we can do really, except grin and bear it, and prove them wrong by putting on an excellent performance in the classroom which cannot be ignored.</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> White Native speakers prefered (sic). <br /><strong>Remark:</strong> Shame on this (Chinese) recruiter.</p>\n<h3><strong>Western vs. Asian</strong></h3>\n<p>Not only black teachers can encounter bigoted parents and school administrators. Foreign born Asians such as ABCs (American born Chinese) or ABTs (American born Thais) will often have a difficult time persuading schools to hire them.</p>\n<p>Sometimes these teachers - who carry foreign passports - don\'t even speak their parents\' or grand-parents\' tongue anymore. Again, ruling these job seekers out - even if they\'re qualified - is a parochial approach that doesn\'t have a place in our globalised world.</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements: </strong>Western English teacher.<br /><strong>Remark:</strong> Just another way of saying that applicants should be white and big-nosed if they want to work for this employer.</p>\n<h3><strong>British vs. American</strong></h3>\n<p>Some job ads specifically target British or American teachers. If there\'s a good reason, well okay. Problem is that there hardly ever is any good reason. Students often think that because they are going to a particular country they need a teacher coming from there.</p>\n<p>If it\'s for cultural reasons, I might be inclined to agree, but if it\'s just to better their English skills when going to the USA, a Canadian teacher could do just as good a job as an American one.</p>\n<p>If it\'s for immigration or political purposes, there\'s not much one can do (Saudi Arabia for example only wants Brits, Mexico is keen on EU passports while Taiwan and Korea are in love with US and Canadian teachers).</p>\n<p>Fair enough if you want a Brit in order to learn the Queen\'s English or Received Pronunciation, but really, who would want this in an evermore globalised world where global or international English will rule the roost instead of a local variant? By the way, not all Brits speak like the Queen, innit?</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> British teachers wanted.<br /><strong>Remark:</strong> Tough luck for Ozzies, Kiwis, Irish, South Africans and both native and non-native speakers from other countries. Remote possibility that this requirement is well-founded. However, I bet it isn\'t.</p>\n<h3><strong>Native vs. non-native speaker</strong></h3>\n<p>&lsquo;English teachers should be native speakers\'. I don\'t know where this old chestnut came from, but were this true more than 90 per cent of all English teachers worldwide should be retired straight away.</p>\n<p>Teaching English in most countries around the globe is done by local English teachers. Swedish teachers teach English in Sweden, Brazilian teachers teach English in Brazil, and so on.</p>\n<p>By the way, English teachers teach French in England, so actually teaching another language in most countries around the globe is done by local teachers.</p>\n<p>Hardly ever do western countries employ imported native speakers to teach English. Given the overall level of English and fluency of their students, I\'d say these local teachers are doing a pretty decent job.</p>\n<p>As a travel addict, I can say that many Europeans are very good at English; Latin America has a long way to go, but it\'s getting there; in Africa and the Middle East skills are basic but speakers make admirable efforts.</p>\n<p>In Asia, however, especially Thailand and China, students seem to be studying the language of Shakespeare for more than a decade and still manage not to be able to utter basic phrases, hence the idea that the best teachers must be native speakers.</p>\n<p>School administrators and parents alike seem unable or unwilling to grasp that it is rather the ability of the local teachers and the motivation of students which are sorely lacking. They also seem to forget that no matter how good foreign teachers supposedly are, they won\'t be able to achieve much if you pool 50 to 70 uninterested students in a single classroom.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;So who would you employ? Native or non-native speaker?\', another blog on this website asked recently.</p>\n<p>I admit that well-qualified and enthusiastic native speakers would top my list. Second place, however, would go to the dedicated non-native speakers with near-native English proficiency.</p>\n<p>At the bottom of the list you\'d find the unqualified, inexperienced and often job-hopping &lsquo;teachers\' that roam the world and whose prime objective is not to help students get better at English, but rather to pay off their student loans, booze and mate as much as humanly possible and ruin the reputation of every foreign teacher in the process.</p>\n<p>How to assess a teacher\'s skills and qualities? Apart from having a butcher\'s at their CV and cover letter, a face-to-face or phone interview possibly combined with a demo lesson is an excellent way to do this.</p>\n<p>For non-native applicants, an interview by both the local recruiter and a native speaker (as the former is often not even able to recognize if someone is a native or non-native speaker) should uncover the suitable candidates. Also, either a customized or standardised test such as TOEFL or IELTS might be used to separate the weed from the chaff.</p>\n<p>From a personal point of view, let me just add that among the best teachers I\'ve ever hired, quite a few were non-native speakers.</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> teachers from native English speaking country USA, Canada, British (sic). <br /><strong>Remark:</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"> All other nationalities are screwed if this policy is enforced. The only result will be that recruiters severely limit the applicants\' pool and may miss out on excellent candidates from other countries (both native and non-native speaking). It is mainly because of this myopic world view that there is a chronic teacher shortage in several (Asian) countries and that often fly-by-night and unqualified teachers can acquire a job they really shouldn\'t be entrusted with.</span></p>\n<h3><strong>Old vs. young</strong></h3>\n<p>When is a person too old to be an effective teacher? I don\'t think there is a universal age limit, be it official or unofficial. Some countries limit the age of teachers to 60, others don\'t have any regulations at all.</p>\n<p>In my opinion, real age is less important than the age you feel like.</p>\n<p>Some 50-year olds may still look, feel and act like spring chickens while other 30-year olds may already be burnt-out and jaded, and look as if they\'re carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. Only face-to-face job interviews can really determine how old a person is.</p>\n<p>I\'d probably prefer a dynamic 50-year old to a sullen 30-year old.</p>\n<p>So is there an age when we\'re too old to be effective teachers? I\'m sure there is. Problem is that it differs for each individual. Some could go on into their seventies (not unheard of as you may think), while others had better throw in the towel when approaching the official retirement age.</p>\n<p>Is it warranted to ask someone\'s age in a job ad? I suppose so. After all, you may not want a 73-year old to teach your kindergarten class or a 21-year old to teach the business executives seminar.</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements: </strong>Young English teacher, native English speaker, no degree required.<br /><strong>Remark:</strong> This employer clearly hasn\'t got a clue about effective recruiting. Inexperienced, unqualified, young native speakers are preferred over qualified and possibly more mature professional teachers. No wonder so many schools bitterly complain about the quality of the teachers they hire. However, instead of generalising and painting every foreign teacher black they should rather take most of the blame themselves if they follow the above recruitment policy.</p>\n<h3><strong>Male vs. female</strong></h3>\n<p>Are men or women better teachers? This is a tricky but also impossible question.</p>\n<p>There are excellent female teachers, but there are some damned good male ones as well. Some claim women are often better at teaching (very) young learners.</p>\n<p>This doesn\'t mean, however, that all men suck at this job. By the way, recruiters limiting a teacher search to women will get them a lot less applications to choose from, thus possibly missing out on the chance to sign up the illusive perfect male teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> Under 45 years old - female (sic) are required.<br /><strong>Remark:</strong> Excellent chances of getting this job if you\'re a youngish female. Old hags (45+) and blokes haven\'t got a chance in hell. Schools should realise that some men can be great young learners\' teachers as well and that not all females adore children.</p>\n<h3><strong>Requirements vs. remuneration</strong></h3>\n<p>The funny things when looking at job boards is, job requirements are usually very rigorous but salary is often a complete joke.</p>\n<p>Many salaries offered may seem high when compared to local salaries, but to lure a good English teacher to a faraway land, they should be more than peanuts. No wonder only 2nd or even 3rd tier monkeys apply for many of these positions.</p>\n<p>By the way, very few applicants are interested to know that local Somchai\'s or Zhou Li\'s can survive on respectively 15,000 baht of 3,000 yuan a month. A foreign teacher may need some more creature comforts and might want to build up a nest egg for rainy days or a trip to their home country.</p>\n<h3><strong>Better job ads</strong></h3>\n<p>So what kind of teachers should schools be looking for and how can they improve their job ads? As far as I\'m concerned, EFL job requirements should look more like this (adaptable to the local situation of course):</p>\n<p>Requirements:</p>\n<p>&bull; Well-qualified: tertiary degree and teaching certificate<br />&bull; Excellent English skills<br />&bull; Dedicated and creative individuals<br />&bull; Experience preferred</p>\n<p>I\'ve seen some ads recently asking for a neutral accent. I can only applaud this as teachers with heavy regional accents can be hard to understand, especially for beginners and elementary learners (not to mention friends and colleagues).</p>\n<p>However, this is often linked to the native speaker requirement, which it really shouldn\'t. If a speaker has a neutral English accent, can be clearly understood and if it\'s hard to determine where he\'s from when speaking, it shouldn\'t matter whether he\'s American, German, South African or Iranian. I\'d hire a well-spoken and dedicated Hungarian or Zimbabwean instead of a native-speaking lager lout or redneck with bloodshot eyes any day.</p>\n<p>Finally, schools and recruiters should start looking for the best qualified and most suitable candidates without limiting their scope using nationality, age, gender or skin colour. Only then can we truly improve education in a globalised world.</p>\n<p>Even if local attitudes seem to be rather narrow-minded, putting decent teachers - no matter what colour or origin - in front of an audience is often the best way to overcome the students\' and parents\' fears and make them understand that excellent teaching skills are not linked to appearance or colour of your passport.</p>\n<p>Foreign English teachers should be seen as educators and not exotic entertainers or foreign wizards with an innate teaching ability. Good luck to all of you currently on a job hunt.</p>\n<p>PS: All job requirements in this article were taken from actual job postings.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/young-teachers-vs-old-teachers/\">Young teachers vs old teachers? - Which age group do Thai employers really prefer?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/black-teachers-in-thailand/\">Black teachers in Thailand - Does racism exist in The Land of Smiles?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-joy-and-pain-of-teaching-in-thailand\">The joy and pain of teaching in Thailand - A non-native teacher looks back over her ten years in Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/tom-tuohy/native-vs-non-native-speaking-teachers/\">Native vs non-native speaking teachers - Who would you employ?</a></p>','','2016-02-25 06:03:02',1,'2016-02-25 06:03:02','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1711,108,'Please help me,.

I wanted to know how important Humira is to the treatment of Crohn\'s disease and I wanted to know if Humira is available in Thailand.

His isn\'t exactly a success story but it\'s a combination of true tales on his battles against employment prejudice, friendship betrayal, depression and a rare cancerous disease that certainly can cause his life....and yes, it all happened in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Michael is from Tarlac City, Tarlac, Philippines. He earned his Bachelor\'s degree in Mass Communication at Cagayan State University. He used to work at the Philippine Women\'s University prior to his coming here in Thailand. In 2002, he was diagnosed with a jawbone cancer. He underwent surgeries in his hometown and in Manila in 2002 and 2005 respectively. The cancer was benign and so the surgeons advised him of a total reconstruction of his jawbone. Due to financial constraint, he continued working in spite of his condition. Michael is the only member in their family with a university degree.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;In 2007, Michael tried his luck in the Land of Smiles to support his family back home and save some for the planned surgery. His \"accent\" was \"acceptable\" so said the school employers but he failed in one thing: physical appearance. One might find it funny but in all honesty, here in Thailand , you might easily get the job just because you\'re extremely good looking. Anyway, Michael knew that he had a problem with his jaw but not his entire physical being but he didn\'t realize it\'s a big thing in Thailand. His \"fractured\" jawbone slightly affected the positioning of his mouth but it didn\'t greatly impinge on his speech. In fact, he was very fluent and his speech was comprehensible. But to Michael\'s soon-to-be employers, it was just an unfortunate luck.</p>\n<p>When Michael was in Thailand, he didn\'t realize that his condition was getting worst. He didn\'t feel anything unusual but his face started to disfigure. He got uncomfortable with all the stares he was getting. So, he finally decided to see a doctor. Specialists at Mahidol University said that it was a unique case...a rare benign tumor in his right jawbone. The doctors advised him to have an immediate surgery before it\'s too late. But with a meager salary, a hundred thousand baht for his surgery was impossible to raise in due time. The situation was disturbing but he had to work first and deal with the problem later. He got a teaching job somewhere in Uttaradit but it didn\'t last long because he\'s terribly coping with the physical difficulties caused by the illness. It was on the same year that he has nobody to turn to. His friends couldn\'t do much on his predicament. He felt abandoned. He tried to look for a other jobs but couldn\'t find one.</p>\n<p>In December 2007, Michael decided to go back to the Philippines. He was then contacted by Mahidol University\'s doctors and they offered him a free surgery for a case study. They told him that he needed to undergo a series of delicate surgical procedure with compromising result knowing that his case was unique and so it\'s a first for the doctors doing the procedure. He took that risk. The tedious procedure was a success but he needed to recuperate for a few more months. A Baptist pastor took him in while he\'s recuperating. Thanks to the generosity of his doctors, he was able to regain his health back, and his \"physical appearance\" has become the least of his problem.</p>\n<p>Michael is currently teaching in Chiangrai. He was recognized by the school of his dedication and hard work. Knowing that he was able to conquer all his tribulations, he believes he can cope with all other life difficulties that come in his way. But he also knew that his odysseys aren\'t over yet. There are two more operations he needs to undergo trough except that there are no more freebies this time. He\'s preparing himself for the next two surgeries but for now, he has to work and save.</p>','','2010-05-30 20:56:08',1,'2010-05-30 20:56:08','2012-09-03 22:10:09'),(1717,59,'A student success story','a-student-success-story','Helping a Thai student bring home the bacon','In teaching, we, teachers, must think of an ingenious way to make our students learn using varied types of materials and different kinds of strategies for every student has his/her own learning style.','<p>Three years ago, when I was still a new teacher in Thailand, the school where I taught was invited to participate in a speech competition. Its main objective was to develop the English speaking skills of students in our area. My school had a population of less than 200 from Anuban to Grade 6.</p>\n<p>At first, I was quite hesitant to participate because I knew there would be more than 30 schools participating and most of them are giant schools. I imagined it was like a David and Goliath fight. Anyway, through the incessant prodding of my English coordinator, I did join in 3 events despite the fact that my students\' chance of winning was very slim. But to increase the chance of winning, I concentrated on one activity&nbsp;-\"Talk about a Picture\".</p>\n<p>For a student who could barely speak English and knew very little of it, boy, it was indeed a very arduous task. Even I couldn\'t talk spontaneously about a picture I see for the first time considering that I have to talk about it for 5 minutes in front of poker- faced judges. But gosh, my student did it. Well, you might ask, \"How did this miracle happen?\"</p>\n<p>The fact that the invitation was given late, we only had less than a month to practice. In the beginning, I didn\'t plunge into practicing right away. I approached it slowly but surely. So, I thought of a scheme on how to make her talk about a given picture no matter what topic it would be. So I thought of a setting. Every story has a setting right? So, I trained her in talking about places like school, library, market, temple, street, and the like. After that, for I believe that a picture is not a picture without a character or characters on it I instructed her to supply characters in the picture using the specific names of members of the family, classmates, or friends, depending on the picture to make the description more personal. To top it all, she had to make her descriptions vividly using describing words. In addition to this, she supplied action words too suggesting what the characters did to give life to the picture being described.</p>\n<p>Everyday, little by little, she would describe carefully selected pictures where she could identify the setting, characters, descriptions, and actions. When she was keen in doing this, I used big books from our library by covering the Thai texts and letting her tell the story in her own words based on her own understanding. With it, she was feeling great for it appeared to her she was doing well. In other words, she was able to gain confidence. To enhance her skill further I used selected cartoon illustrations and she likewise enjoyed describing them.</p>\n<p>When the contest came, my student took home the bacon.</p>\n<p>In teaching, we, teachers, must think of an ingenious way to make our students learn using varied types of materials and different kinds of strategies for every student has his/her own learning style. \"For every folk, a different stroke.\" At times we would say it is a Herculean job to make the adamant, the timid, and the uninterested Thai student learn, but once you have gotten their weakness and use it to their advantage, the battle is already half won. Take the case of one boy in an international school in Chiangmai where I taught last summer. This boy was new in school but would always be isolated during flag ceremony as punishment for being naughty, scolded by the teacher in front of everybody during lunch, and ridiculed by his teachers almost anytime. But in my class he was wonderful.</p>\n<p>On the first day when he had no chair to sit on, I offered my chair. Next time when he had no pencil to use , I gave him a pen. When he couldn\'t see the movie we viewed, I moved his seat closer. When he did something right, I would praise him. So, loving kindness also helped.</p>\n<p>Success of students in learning is also attributed to a very creative and a very resourceful teacher. This teacher I describe is unconventional for he/she goes out of his/her way to give the students the run for their money if he/she teaches in a private school. If he/she teaches in a public school, he /she is a really a \"teacher\" because he/she is not only after the paycheck but after the students\' welfare.</p>\n<p>Constant practice of the lessons as well as teaching to examination standards is important in achieving lesson objectives. Drilling the lesson using the spiral method is also beneficial for it lessens the degree of forgetfulness. So, before new lessons are introduced, mastery of the previous lesson should be attained first.</p>','','2010-05-31 20:27:00',1,'2010-05-31 20:27:00','2010-06-01 10:10:01'),(1720,10,'A chef is born again','a-chef-is-born-again','My ham and cheese toastie days are over','I\'ve touched the hem of Kai\'s garment. Or at least the handle of his wok.','<p>A few weeks ago, I came into contact with a Thai gentleman by the name of &lsquo;Kai\'. And I think it\'s fair to say that the man has changed my life. I\'m hoping that by reading this, he might just change yours too.\n<p>How can I describe him? Well, he\'s obviously a family man. He enjoys life to the full. But there\'s nothing he enjoys more than being in the kitchen. You see Kai has become something of a cooking sensation by posting over 200 of his recipes - each one accompanied by a five-minute demonstration - on the popular video website YouTube.</p>\n<p>I discovered Kai when I was doing an internet search for &lsquo;beef in oyster sauce\'. Isn\'t it amazing how relationships sometimes begin?</p>\n<p>Like many middle-aged man, I\'ve developed a passion for food and cookery. I\'m not even sure why this happens. Is it simply life slowing down a little and finding yourself with more time on your hands? I shudder when I think back to my teenage years and all through my twenties. The countless times I watched a ready meal go round in the microwave, willing the turntable to go faster because I had a hot date waiting for me in front of The Red Lion. Let\'s face it - at that age, food is nothing more than a quick refuel.</p>\n<p>I come from a very working class culinary background. My mother never felt at home in the kitchen. You never saw her stockpiling jars of home-made marmalade in a kitchen cupboard the moment Seville oranges came into season. I never saw her bake a pie. I never saw her elbow-deep in self-raising flour. She cooked a fairly palatable Sunday roast but the rest of the week\'s menu was all about convenience. The low whirring sound of the microwave and frantic searches for the tin-opener were very much part and parcel of mealtimes in the Williams household.</p>\n<p>Moving to Thailand should have brought about a huge change in my eating habits. Here I was in a country with fresh markets on every street corner and hardly a microwave meal in sight. But if anything, things only&nbsp;got worse.</p>\n<p>When my wife and I moved into our new home five years ago, it was the first time I\'d had&nbsp;something resembling a kitchen. I had an electric oven, a two-ring burner, a rice cooker, a blender, all the necessary utensils and yes, I also had a microwave. At last! - I could actually cook. Then it dawned on me that I hadn\'t&nbsp;done myself a decent meal for ten years. I\'d lived in rented apartments and houses for over a decade. The apartments had no cooking facilities whatsoever and all I bought for the house - which I lived in for five years - was a refrigerator and one of those electric sandwich makers. I\'d survived on ham and cheese toasties for ten bloody years. Little wonder that when I took my shirt off, there were at least&nbsp;six places you could hang a coat.</p>\n<p>But you live in Thailand! It\'s the capital of the world for the most delicious street-food I can hear you all cry. Well, yes and no. I\'m quite fond of eating on the streets Thai-style but at risk of stating the obvious - street-food should always be eaten on the street. Stewed pig\'s leg on rice (Kaw Kha Muu) always tastes so much better when you\'re choking on diesel fumes between mouthfuls and there are half a dozen stray dogs in attendance, all sitting patiently in a semi-circle waiting for tidbits. The alternative is to take your street-food home of course, but is there a more dispiriting experience than scurrying back to your digs with a plastic bag from the local street vendor, and then wrestling with the elastic band for half the evening and is there a more miserable sight than the contents of the bag spilling out onto your &lsquo;best plate\' before being given the desultory ninety seconds in the microwave?</p>\n<p>Before becoming master of my own kitchen and being &lsquo;born again\', I had undoubtedly developed a real love-hate relationship with food. I hated, and still do in many ways, how mealtimes and the necessity of eating interfere with a busy daily schedule. Go for a business meeting in town and there\'s the dilemma of where to grab a quick sandwich. Get stuck into writing a blog on your computer and there\'s the realization that it\'s three in the afternoon and you haven\'t had lunch yet. And you also skipped breakfast. Is it any wonder that the headaches are starting? Willy Wonka definitely had the right idea - a chewing gum meal. A whole three course meal that you digest in the time it takes to chew on a piece of gum. I\'m amazed the idea was never developed further because I know for a fact the customers are out there.</p>\n<p>I even dabbled with recipe books at one stage. I got caught up in the whole TV chef phenomenon like so many others. I thought if Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay could do it, then so could I. The problem with recipe books however is the sheer volume of ingredients that you need to cook what seems to me, to be the most basic of dishes. We\'ve all run our index fingers down a list of ingredients and said \"yes, yes, yes I\'ve got that, and I\'ve got that. Oh Christ on a bike. Where the f*** am I going to get a fresh vanilla pod at this time of night?\"</p>\n<p>I needed recipes that were easy to follow and wouldn\'t require me walking up and down supermarket aisles in search of saffron or fresh thyme or Mediterranean sea salt?</p>\n<p>So let me get back to Kai - my YouTube cookery mentor and the inspiration for this particular blog. I watched his introductory video and he urged me to go into my local supermarket and buy soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, chicken stock and sesame oil. He assured me that once I had these five items in my store cupboard, everything was going to be OK. And he was right. I marinated some beef in oyster sauce for fifteen minutes and by adding some fresh spring onion and red capsicum to the sizzling wok, I whipped up a &lsquo;nua nam man hoy\' that my wife said was the best she\'d ever tasted. So far I\'ve tried about twenty of Kai\'s video recipes - chicken and cashews, lemon chicken, fried rice with crab - you name it. The results are living proof that even an idiot like me can perform miracles in the kitchen. And as my wife puts her feet up on the sofa and the Jamie Oliver cookbooks gather dust, you\'ll find me marinating, parboiling and splashing the soy sauce around with gay abandon. The kitchen has been filled with the most wonderful aromas. And it\'s all thanks to Kai. Check him out - and bid farewell to those ham and cheese toasties forever.</p>\n<p>Go to YouTube and enter \'cooking with Kai\' into the search engine.</p>\n<p>If you\'re looking for a more tittilating cookery demo on YouTube then check out <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AXK_TjNsG0&amp;feature=PlayList&amp;p=98AE27AD17898E4A&amp;playnext_from=PL&amp;playnext=1&amp;index=11\">\'cooking with Tifa\'</a>.

The ongoing political confrontations of the past 3 years do have an effect on all of us with a connection to the country, and with three-quarters of my household holding Thai passports I am obviously interested in the future of the country and its political \"development.\" Although here in the heat of the moment it is easy to choose sides, yellow or red, I will attempt to resist the temptation to turn this into a political rant and attempt to look at the situation from a wider and hopeful more objective perspective in which can help to put the situation in context.</p>\n<p>In September of 2007 I was in Bangkok teaching a course in research methodology for an MA in international relations program. To illustrate the use of quantitative research methodology I assigned the students to read an article called Exploring the Dynamics of the Democratic Peace written by Cerman and Rao (2001) in which we would then discuss the methodology used the following week. However between assigning the article to study and the discussion, the coup of 2007 happened. When returning to the classroom, the content of the article in this specific context made it nearly impossible to focus on the methodology, therefore instead the conversation in the class turned to the actual results of the research.</p>\n<p>In one of those strange twists of fate that seem to happen from time to time, the article I had chosen in order to study the research methodology was about the long-term effects of non-democratic (and democratic) changes in governments. Basically the results of this very detailed quantitative study showed that on average non-democratic (such as the coup of 2007) regime changes led to a series of future episodes of political violence. On the other hand, the longer the tradition a country had of democratic transfers of power the less likely there is to be political violence after a change in government. Therefore, I suggested to the class if we accept the results of the research, the coup would not be the end of violent political confrontation, but only the beginning. But I assumed, oh no, Thailand is different and Thais do not kill other Thais for political purposes. Yet it appears Thailand has followed the pattern of other nations struggling to find the path to&nbsp;democracy in engaging in this cycle of violence following the coup as predicted by the research.</p>\n<p>While Thailand is following the pattern of violence seen in other nations where political leaders do not accept the results of the electoral process, Thailand of course has it own unique history and culture. On the other hand, the country does share both a religious tradition and a history of non-elected governments coming to power with its neighbors in Southeast Asia. Studying Thailand\'s neighbors who have similar cultural values and how they have handled political changes might provide some context in which to place the current situation in.</p>\n<p>In my latest book, Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Theravada Buddhist Countries, I devoted a chapter to the political situation of the region and the lack of a democratic tradition taking hold. I don\'t want to get into the debate of whether the current Thai government was democratically elected or not, but having a non-elected government has been the norm, not the exception, throughout Thai history. This is a tradition Thailand shares with the other countries in Southeast Asia with majority Theravada Buddhist populations.</p>\n<p>While seeing this correlation between having a major Theravada Buddhist population and non-elected governments is quite strong, we know that correlation does not automatically equate to causation. In other words, there may other factors beside (or in combination with) with practicing Theravada Buddhism which is causing the struggle for democracy to take hold. Also it should be acknowledged there are many other Asian countries, as well as countries in other locations, which have or have had in recent times non-elected governments. And it should also be realized \"democracy\" takes on different forms in different cultures. Therefore democracy in Thailand might share underlying values with other democratic nations, it would also be expected to have some of its own unique features.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless there have been many scholars who find the values found in the Theravada Buddhism teachings, such as belief in Karma, emphasis on the ever-changing nature of the universe, and the advocating of detachment from earthy concerns, do not provide a fertile field for democracy to grow out of. For example, \"doctrinal Buddhism provides a weak basis for democratic principles\" (Jackson, 2003: 245). This is not to suggest democracy is incompatible with Thai values, but as yet seeing a strong functioning democracy where changes in leadership consistently come from free and fair elections in any of the Theravada Buddhist countries of Southeast Asia is still only a hypothesis that has not been proven.</p>\n<p>Looking at the other countries in the region that share religious traditions, a similar struggle to develop a democratic system of politics where dissent is allowed and the results of elections are respected is seen. In Cambodia, the horrific example of the non-elected Khmer Rouge regime is a classic example of the dangers of having a government that does not need to respond to the wishes of voters, but the regimes that came before the Khmer Rouge were not exactly shining examples of democracies in the Western sense of the word either. For example:</p>\n<p>\"The two most consistent aspects of Sihanouk\'s domestic policy were his intolerance of dissent and his tendency to identify his opponents with foreign powers. To be a Cambodian, in his view, meant being pro-Sihanouk, just as Sihanouk himself, the father of the Cambodian family was pro-Cambodian. There was no real tradition of pluralist politics in the country, and throughout the Sihanouk era, dissent was viewed as a mixture of treason and lese majeste\" (Chandler, 2000: 197).<br /><br />Does this assessment of the previous political style seen in Cambodia have any similarities to charges against current and recent governments by their opponents in Thailand?</p>\n<p>\"Cambodian history since World War II, and probably for a much longer period, can be characterized in part as a chronic failure of contending groups of patrons and their clients to compromise, cooperate, or share power. These hegemonic tendencies, familiar in other Southeast Asian countries, have deep roots in Cambodia\'s past\" (Chandler 2000: 245).</p>\n<p>Does the current difficulties in Thailand also have deep roots in its past?</p>\n<p>Laos PDR does not have an elected government and apparently there is little push for democracy in the country, and in recent times the \"communist\" government of Laos has attempted to identify itself and its non-democratic nature with the preservation of Laos\' Theravada Buddhist heritage (Pholsena 2004; Tappe 2007). It would appear this appeal to Buddhist values is working to keep dissent and a push for a democratic government from firmly taking root.</p>\n<p>And of course we have not seen democracy in Burma/Myanmar. And it would be difficult to find much success in the countries military-non-elected rule.</p>\n<p>\"General Ne Win\'s twenty- six-year rule of the country from 1962 until 1988 transformed the economy with a promising future into perhaps one of the least developed countries in the world. Its self-imposed mismanagement, isolationist policies, and distrust of foreigners all deprived the country of necessary skills, technology, and revenues\" (Thawnghmung, 2008: 277).</p>\n<p>Ne Win was initially quite popular as his regime ended street fighting and chaos in Rangoon/Yangoon. This example should remind us that while authoritarian methods to end dissent may provide short-term relief from chaos, the long-term costs have outweighed the short-term benefits in other locations and Thailand should tread carefully.</p>\n<p>Looking at the political situations in neighboring countries may help provide some cultural perspectives in which to place the current events in context.</p>\n<p>While it is easy for those of us who have lived in Thailand for years and think we know the country to rant and offer easy solutions to complex problems, but \"The cultural values of Thailand offer an interesting avenue for understanding the Thai thought patterns underlying these recent political events. They also explain why Westerners might need to accept that they may never appreciate the Thai logic that has led to the current political mess\" (Eldridge, 2008).</p>\n<p>I wish I had the answers to Thailand\'s political problems and the ability to implement a solution to the current crisis, but I don\'t. It is a very complex situation happening in a context most of us foreigners may not fully understand. I have a very strong affection for Thailand, its people and culture, and I also am a huge advocate of \"democracy\" as the best form of government yet tried, therefore I am not yet ready to give up on seeing governments in Thailand coming to power on the basis of free and fair elections. However I am realistic enough to look at the evidence and the cultural context and see the move to a stable democracy is by no means assured and is unlikely to come about without further struggles and a new approach.</p>\n<p><strong>References</strong></p>\n<p>Cederman, L.E. and Rao, M.P.

I haven\'t looked at ajarn.com for some time but salaries look like they haven\'t gone up since the day I left.

There has been a slight increase in teacher pay over&nbsp;time but certainly not one that has kept pace with inflation.&nbsp;And I&nbsp;still think that salaries have risen&nbsp;more in Bangkok than they have out in the&nbsp;sticks. Saying that, Bangkok is becoming a lot more expensive if you start seeking out Western comforts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - a&nbsp;victory for Bangkok, but only by a&nbsp;klong rat\'s whisker. Bangkok 2 Up-country 1.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Accommodation</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s always more expensive to live in a country\'s capital and Bangkok is no exception. The money you would pay for a Sukhumwit Road shoebox will get you a sweeping driveway, a maid\'s quarters, and at least four bathrooms once you move out to the rice fields. OK, that\'s an exaggeration but you only have to look through ajarn\'s <a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living/\">cost of living</a> section to see that deep in the Nakhon Nowheres, you get far more bricks and mortar for your rental buck.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teacher Alec - who has worked for lengthy periods of time in both Bangkok and Petchabun - makes a good point though in the comments section below. \"Yes accommodation is cheaper in the countryside but it\'s also far less comfortable. In Bangkok I have a roomy (but not huge) condo with reliable fiber internet, a modern kitchen, a western style bathroom, and all those other amenities that make day-to-day life at home bearable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the sticks you may be paying less, but you\'re also going to have a Thai bathroom (which was novel when I moved here, but man I\'ve grown to hate wet bathrooms over time). You\'ll have spotty internet usually. You\'ll be outfitting your own propane stove. Etc etc. So I\'ll gladly accept the higher cost here in Bangkok if it means that my home actually feels like \"home\" instead of a long-stay apartment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those beautiful houses in the rice fields are certainly nice, but good luck maintaining a full house + furnishings when you\'re earning that 25-30k rural salary\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - despite what Alec has said, I might just give that point to up-country. Bangkok 2 Up-country 2. Get in there!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Entertainment</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t believe we\'re even going here. Bangkok has its faults but when darkness falls, it\'s up there with the world\'s greatest entertainment cities. And I don\'t just mean the legendary naughty nightlife - the city is heaving with restaurants, cafes, bookshops, pubs, shopping malls and cinemas. The guarantee you\'ll almost never be bored while you\'ve money to spend.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the upcountry chalkie - unless they are lucky enough to teach in a beach resort - entertainment boils down to pushing a trolley around the new Tesco Lotus on the outskirts of town or joining your teaching colleagues at Noi\'s bar -&nbsp;the only bar in town - that\'s of course if Noi can be arsed to open.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - Upcountry waves a small pathetic flag while Bangkok glides past&nbsp;wearing a pink feather boa and sequinned mankini, on a chariot pulled my two muscular slaves. Bangkok 3 Up-country 2</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Getting around / transportation</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\'s fun living here but you need your own motorcycle\" is something you often hear from chalkies who have put down roots in the Tambon Too Fars. But for those who have&nbsp;shunned the \'motorsai\' in favor of living to see their thirtieth birthday, there\'s the constant headache of&nbsp;how to get&nbsp;around a provincial Thai town.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Admittedly the pace of life in the rurals can be a&nbsp;little&nbsp;slower, a touch more genteel, but that doesn\'t mean I want to&nbsp;waste half the day on a bicycle rickshaw. You may decide on&nbsp;a local \'songthaew\' or an overpriced tuk-tuk, you may even&nbsp;choose to walk, but whatever you decide, I\'ll give you a cheeky wave as I zip past on Bangkok\'s modern skytrain.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - It\'s another big point for Bangkok. Bangkok 4 Up-country 2&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"317\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/rural_life.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\">&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Making Thai friends</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>No foreigner has a problem making friends in Thailand but while up-country Thai folk will invite all and sundry to a restaurant and happily sit back and let the foreigner foot the bill, you might find the westernised Bangkok Thai is happy to go Dutch. Bangkok Thais refer to the practice of \'going Dutch\' as \'American share\'. It means \'you pay your share and I\'ll pay mine\'. If your new Thai friend is not familiar with American share, then make sure they learn it fast. It could save you a fortune &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to making Thai enemies, keep one thing in mind - only a big city allows&nbsp;you to slip into the shadows. Make an enemy out&nbsp;in the sticks&nbsp;and you\'ll imagine he\'s behind&nbsp;you every time you pop into 7-11 for a loaf.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - difficult to split the two. Bangkok Thai friends are generally cheaper than up-country Thai friends but oh go on then - you\'ve twisted&nbsp;my arm -&nbsp;a point each. Bangkok 5 Up-country 3.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Keeping a low profile</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Bangkok, you\'re just another foreigner with a large nose and a tendency to blow your top over the smallest inconvenience. But in an&nbsp;up-country town, stop for a brief chat with a pretty female and&nbsp;it will be&nbsp;headlines in the afternoon edition&nbsp;of your wife\'s newspaper. In fact she doesn\'t&nbsp;have to be pretty; she just has to be&nbsp;female. An old teacher friend of mine, Geoff,&nbsp;says that all the locals know him because he\'s often out&nbsp;and about with his Golden Retriever dog. Geoff&nbsp;probably doesn\'t need the Golden Retriever in order to get recognised. He just needs to be Geoff.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - whether or not you enjoy basking in the limelight as the local celebrity will depend on your character but more often than not, I want to walk the streets and remain incognito. The point goes to Bangkok. Bangkok 6 Up-country 3. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Earning money \'on the side\'</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We\'re talking about freelance teaching and corporate work here. Whether it\'s the chance to sit with some bored teenager in McDonalds for an hour because her father is convinced it\'s a great idea - or the opportunity to clown around and entertain six of the sales staff at ABC Plastics - Bangkok has far more going for it. Bangkok Thais have got more money. Nuff said. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - No contest. There might well be the opportunity to earn extra income at an up-country Rajabhat, but when it comes to sheer volume of freelance and corporate work, Bangkok\'s your man! Bangkok 7 Up-country 3 &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Day trips&nbsp;and places to go</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m always dubious of job ads that have \'close proximity to mountains and a nice waterfall\' as part of their job description. I mean, it\'s not as if you\'re going to head off to the waterfall every afternoon between classes. See it once and that\'ll probably be enough.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But I know what the employer is getting at. And I\'ll concede that the lure of nature&nbsp;is a huge selling point in favor of working in the rurals. Twenty minutes is probably all it takes to find yourself surrounded by clean air and a verdant landscape. In Bangkok, it\'ll take you longer than that to negotiate your way on to the main road. And then it\'s a four or five-hour round trip to the nearest decent beach resort. I often refer to Bangkok as a \'geographical prison\'. Making plans to drive somewhere for a day out often just ain\'t worth the effort.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - Bangkok isn\'t even at the races. Bangkok 7 Up-country 4</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Student attitudes</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife said that I should include this section and come to think about it - why not indeed. What about the attitude of Thai students towards their teacher? Well, nowhere will a teacher get more respect from students than at schools out in the boonies. Out there among the rice fields, you truly are \'the ajarn\'. You are the fountain of knowledge. You are the inspiration to young minds. You are an integral part of all their hopes and dreams. And you talk funny.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I once taught a corporate class in Bangkok, and the group included one female to whom I took an instant dislike. \"You foreigners\" she said \"you only come and work as teachers because it\'s the only job you can get here\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'d like you to know that I&nbsp;stayed calm. I resisted the temptation to become embroiled in a heated argument or to slowly&nbsp;unscrew a chair leg and batter the&nbsp;f***ing idiot&nbsp;senseless - but it does highlight a point. Your&nbsp;Bangkok Thai can sometimes be too streetwise, too&nbsp;knowledgeable. Too lacking in finesse and subtlety. They can give it you straight between the eyes and it can&nbsp;certainly offend. So be prepared.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict -&nbsp;Up-country&nbsp;steams in with another late point on account of probably&nbsp;having far nicer students. Bangkok 7 Up-country 5</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>General cost of living</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Something else you often see in job ads. \"The cost of living here is very cheap so you will save money\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s important not to confuse this statement with \"there is bugger all to spend your money on here - so you will save money\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, accommodation is cheaper up-country I\'ll grant you. Transportation? no, unless perhaps you are willing to buy or rent a motorcycle. Eating out? no. Trawling the pubs and bars? no. And you can\'t tell me that my carton of Tipco orange juice or my box of Nestle Cornflakes is going to cost me any less in Makro Phetburi than they are in Makro Bangkok. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verdict - a point each. I can\'t favor one&nbsp;over the other. Bangkok 8 Up-country 6. Bangkok just about comes out the winner but it\'s a close one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Can you think of any more sections we could include?</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/rural_teacher.gif','2018-03-28 20:43:00',1,'2017-10-13 20:43:26','2018-08-27 15:35:06'),(1741,58,'Pinoy Embassy, Associations and Groups','pinoy-embassy-associations-and-groups','A look at some Filipino organisations active in Thailand','The Filipino Community in Thailand has a wealth of large and small organisations to choose from.','<p>The Philippine Embassy rightfully recognizes the Filipino groups in Thailand. It is the chief institution of the Filipino community. Recently, the Embassy opened its OWWA services. It upgraded its website a month ago. Most importantly, it is also expecting the new Philippine Ambassador this month. By the way, I bid farewell to the former Ambassador, Hon. Antonio Rodriguez who was honored with the prestigious \"The Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant - Knight Grand Cross (First Class)\" by Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn. Furthermore, Consul Arquiza is looking for area/provincial representatives of the Filipino Community Unit. If you know anybody who has good contacts of Filipinos in your area, please tell them to visit the <a href=\"http://www.philembassy-bangkok.net/\">website</a>\n<p>The Filipino Community in Thailand has probably the most number of both big and small organizations. <br />Too many that you could imagine&nbsp;and you might wonder why Filipinos love creating groups and networks. Is it a culture thing? Is it caused by too much competition? Is it because something is lacking? Is it a business venture? Is it for security and camaraderie purposes? Whatever the reasons, these groups have their strengths and weaknesses, issues and achievements, and most importantly stories to tell. I\'ve been there...I\'ve been with them...I\'ve kept in touch with them...and I\'m interested to talk about them...err...not all of them...just the top ten most influential and active groups!</p>\n<p><strong>10: Filipino Community in Korat (FilKor)</strong><br />The Filipino Community in Korat (FilKor) is one of the smallest groups but they sure are big in the northeast. The asset of the organization is its members. The group is well organized and intact. One of its achievements was the hosting of the Thai Culture training in 2008 in Korat and continued promotion of the teachers\' professional development. The group will celebrate the Philippine Independence Day on June 12...and I will be there. Kudos to its president Miss Chit Ramones!</p>\n<p><strong>9: AFT Northern Region Chapter (AFT-NRC)</strong><br />AFT-NRC is based in Chiangmai. Majority of its members are teachers and musicians. This group boasts its networks in the northern region. It is known as the most active child of its mother - the Association of Filipinos in Thailand (AFT). I placed this group in my number 9 slot for reasons that this organization has big potential and wide outreach. Its election of officers will coincide with the celebration of the Philippine Independence Day on June 12....unfortunately, I will not be there!</p>\n<p><strong>8: Organization of Filipino Educators in Southern Thailand (OFEST)</strong><br />This newly-birth group is simply amazing. It has a strong leadership. The president Ms. Phylis May Clomata and the rest of the officers are bringing the name of the organization to limelight. Known for its charitable activities, prolific events and red-carpet like get together parties, it sure is a strong counterpart of the Philippine Embassy in the southern region.</p>\n<p><strong>7: Association of Cordillerans in Thailand (ACT)</strong><br />Without a doubt this group deserves in my top ten. Now on its fourth year, it dominates the stage for its unique cultural dance presentations representing the Philippines in some major events in Thailand. It earns its right as the most active ethnic group in Thailand. Its few members are scattered in major provinces of Thailand but when they come together, it surely is a big group to reckon with. The group has been a strong partner of the bigger organizations in the past and it may continue to keep up the pace so long as it stays neutral and keeps its connection through a focused and strong leadership.</p>\n<p><strong>6: Artist Society (AS)</strong><br />The Artist Society headed by the visionary and charming Ms. Amie Cal gets the 6th place for her strong presence and connection. The group opens its membership to Filipino artists and other nationalities who use their work of arts in their campaign for beauty, values and harmony. While the approach is viewed very conventional, it does attract \"silent yet potent\" Filipinos and other expats in achieving its goal: I believe it\'s harmonious living through open mindedness, self-expression, faith, hope and talent.</p>\n<p><strong>5: Basketball League Organizers <br /></strong>The organizers of the Filipino basketball leagues should be given credit. They bring the adrenaline rush to the Filipino community. The Adventist group, Tsaiyo, and the Association of Filipinos in Thailand are taking the frontline. Business or not, they\'re making a hot buzz in town. The AFT (Association of Filipinos in Thailand)-ABL (Adventist Basketball League)-BBL (Bangkok Basketball League) kicked off the All-Filipino Basketball League of this season last month. Reviews and updates of the game by Mr. Steven&nbsp;can be&nbsp;found <a href=\"http://www.siampinoy.net\">here</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>4: Association of Filipinos in Thailand (AFT)</strong><br />AFT is ranked number four despite of its faltering role in the Filipino community. It is one of the two registered Filipino organizations with the Thai government. It is also one of the pioneer organizations that hosted many social events for the Filipino community in the past. One of the so-called \"mother ships,\" it is now lived by its existing chapters. The association remains quite influential. It\'s probably just a matter of time to see it back on its feet and just do its own thing.</p>\n<p><strong>3: United Filipinos in Thailand (UFT)</strong><br />UFT started with a big bang. Majority of the current officers are recycled. They came from the other \"mother ship.\" But what makes this organization useful is that it\'s the arm of the Philippine Embassy in organizing social events for the Filipino expats. I have to acknowledge the effort of the officers. Just for the information of those who visit the Embassy, the restroom beside the tennis court was funded by the UFT. However, they seemed to forget to fund its maintenance. Anyway, they\'re doing a good job so far.</p>\n<p><strong>2: Philippine Ladies\' Group (PLG)</strong><br />My second best organization goes to the \"single\" ladies of the Filipino community. It is the only organization registered as a charitable institution with the Thai government. Known as a top fundraiser of the community, it also hosts a few social events for the Filipino community. The newly elected president, Ms. Daisy Mendiola is taking the organization to new heights. The Filipino community will soon expect a different PLG touch with its planned activities of hosting cultural shows, and collaborated educational and social events with other foreign nationalities to name a few.</p>\n<p><br /><strong>1: SiamPinoy (SP)</strong><br />And the best among the rest is the longest online Filipino community in Thailand that reaches beyond the Thai borders. It is by so far the most credible information network of some mass media in the Philippines, and its members are all over the globe. While its presence is felt online, it also reaches out to the community. It is one of the founders of small groups like the Filipino Educators Council, SiamPinoy Aperture Society, SiamPinoy basketball team and more. It is one of the strong supporters of many Filipino community groups in Thailand. Notably, the group was a partner of the major cultural show held in Bangkok, and it significantly helped in the information dissemination of the dreaded Thai Culture Training for foreign teachers in early 2008. What makes this group influential is that it\'s the breeding nest of great ideas and it makes others followers. SiamPinoy remains constantly active for more than a decade in promoting the Filipino community in Thailand. Some of its online partners are www.siampinoy.com and www.filipinosinthailand.com. Now, It has matured as a business-free online magazine featuring stories, photos, blogs and forums.

I wonder who writes these guides and if they have ever travelled to the country they\'re writing about - or even travelled at all. By the way, the book claims to cater to the (first-time) tourist and business traveller alike.</p>\n<p>However, many of the words and phrases in it are completely useless and should be replaced by more interesting and vital language. I won\'t deny that the guide can still be of valuable help, but would be even more so if it had been devised with some forethought. What follows are some of the phrases I particularly liked but would never use in a million years.</p>\n<p><strong>Top ten tips</strong></p>\n<p><em>Tip 3 - Do not give pears to people in hospital; the word for pear is similar to the word for leave and so insinuates that you want them to die.</em></p>\n<p>This is all very well, but should this really be a top tip? What are the odds of you visiting a local in hospital when travelling? Slim, I\'d say. And what are the odds of you taking pears of all fruits as a gift? Infinitesimal is the word we\'re looking for.</p>\n<p><strong>Talking to people</strong></p>\n<p><em>See you on Monday</em><br />Tough luck if you want to meet on another day. You could always refer to the unit on &lsquo;Time\' of course, but that\'ll take you forever because you\'ll also have to find out which Chinese word to replace in the original phrase.</p>\n<p><strong>Key phrases</strong></p>\n<p><em>Do you have milk?</em><br />Okay, it might be nice to get some milk with your coffee, but listing this as a key phrase seems somewhat over the top, doesn\'t it. By the way, maybe you should try some tea while you\'re in China.</p>\n<p><em>We\'d like to go home.</em><br />Not really giving a lot of confidence to someone preparing a trip to China, especially since it\'s considered a key phrase.</p>\n<p><em>How does this work?</em><br />I\'m puzzled as to what &lsquo;this\' refers to. The TV in your room? The air-conditioning unit? The electric kettle? If the answer is one of these - or all of the above - one should wonder if you are really fit to be travelling on your own.</p>\n<p><strong>Making friends</strong></p>\n<p><em>Please allow me to introduce these distinguished guests.</em><br />Just don\'t try to say this stuff in Chinese unless your Mandarin is already pretty advanced. Anyway, I suppose the Chinese should be saying this about you if you\'re a businessman visiting China.</p>\n<p><strong>Weather</strong></p>\n<p><em>Do you think it is going to rain?<br />Do you think there will be a storm?<br />Will it be foggy?</em><br />Did you really think the Chinese are all weather oracles? If you\'d like to have these questions answered, just Google &lsquo;weather China\' and Bob\'s your uncle.</p>\n<p><strong>You may hear</strong></p>\n<p>Almost every chapter in the phrasebook has some examples of phrases you may hear. This is all very well, but the author seems to have forgotten that even though you hear it, you won\'t understand it, and no phrasebook in the world is gong to change that. Add the difference between written Chinese pinyin and its pronunciation (e.g. &lsquo;si\' is pronounced &lsquo;suh\') and you have mission impossible. After having lived almost a year in the country and having taken the occasional Mandarin lesson, I still have problems understanding the most basic of sentences. Do you really think a first-time traveller to China will understand the following phrases? I highly doubt it. (Tone marks omitted)</p>\n<p>&bull; <em>qing cheng-zuo di-tie, zuo di-tie yao kuai-xie</em> (take the metro, it\'s quicker). The metro is definitely quicker, but as it\'ll take you forever figuring out what this phrase means, hopping on the first bus or even walking could be faster. <br />&bull; <em>zhe-zhong yan-se wo-men zhi-you zhe-yi chi-cun</em> (in this colour we have only this size). When shopping, remember that what you see is what you get. The lovely blouse you like will probably not be available in extra large and fuchsia.</p>\n<p><strong>Getting around</strong></p>\n<p><em>Is there a tram to...?</em><br />A tram? Give me a break. They should really add words like hovercraft and Flying Boxcar if they want to be consistent.</p>\n<p><em>How does the ticket machine work?</em><br />Just point to your destination on the touch screen and insert your money, how else would it work? Asking an employee this kind of question won\'t get you a lot of joy, believe me.</p>\n<p><em>Can you go a little faster?</em><br />Unless you\'re talking to an anaemic pedicab driver or a Sherpa who\'s about to collapse, I don\'t see any need to ever use this phrase while in China. I wish they had included its opposite number &lsquo;Could you go a little more slowly?\' At least that would have been useful when you\'re in a taxi or a bus with a crazed driver at the wheel.</p>\n<p><em>Where is the luggage for the flight from...?</em><br />Ever heard of monitors showing which carousel your luggage is supposed to be on? If this is your first trip abroad, you might have chosen an easier country than China.</p>\n<p><em>Do I have to pay duty on this?</em><br />According to the phrasebook, you\'re supposed to ask this question when seeing a customs officer. I think you\'d be better off putting a sticker on your forehead saying &lsquo;Idiot approaching\'. If you really use this question, do so in the shop before buying toilet water, booze and fags.</p>\n<p><strong>Driving</strong></p>\n<p><em>I want to hire a car for ... days.</em><br />Oh really? Hire a car? In China? Strangely enough the phrasebook keeps going on about cars. I wonder if the author has ever been to China, let alone try to hire a car when there. Although it is possible to hire a car plus driver, this is not what the phrasebook has in mind (see next question).</p>\n<p><em>Do we need snow chains?</em><br />Well, well, well. Not only are you going to hire a car, but you\'re going to drive it into some snowy mountains as well. Are you sure that\'s a bright idea?</p>\n<p><em>My car has broken down.</em><br />Yeah right, I told you so. I hope this didn\'t happen while scaling the slippery slopes of some mountain in the middle of nowhere.</p>\n<p><em>I\'ve run out of petrol.</em><br />It\'s probably better to use the phrase &lsquo;I\'m an absolute moron, get me out of here\' than the one proffered.</p>\n<p><strong>Staying somewhere</strong></p>\n<p><em>Where can I park the car?</em><br />At least the author is consistent. He\'s hell-bent on renting a car and will bug you with it whenever possible.</p>\n<p><em>Are there any messages for me?</em><br />Unless you\'re James Bond playing in a 70s or 80s movie, the answer is no, there aren\'t any. Who in his right mind would expect messages having been left at reception when the year is 2010? And no, the phrasebook is not ancient; it\'s very recent in fact.</p>\n<p><em>Please prepare the bill.</em><br />Why not just say &lsquo;I\'d like to check out\'? Phrases like this probably just confuse the hell out of hotel staff since foreigners are always required to pay in advance anyway. If you live in China and need a tax receipt, you should ask for a fapiao, but of course that\'s something which the phrasebook doesn\'t mention.</p>\n<p><em>Is there a restaurant on the campsite?</em><br />Christ on a bicycle. Going camping in China? Although there are some famous holy mountains that attract a lot of pilgrims staying overnight, I\'d say that the average tourist doesn\'t really go to China in order to go camping. And if they do, they should play it safe and take some food of their own.</p>\n<p><em>How much is it per caravan?</em><br />A what? A caravan? I doubt there\'s a single caravan in the whole of China. I wouldn\'t have a clue where to get one even if my life depended on it. By the way, you\'d have to rent a car to pull it as well. No wonder the Chinese think a fair number of foreigners are retarded or slightly odd when they\'re bombarded with these sorts of questions.</p>\n<p><strong>Shopping</strong></p>\n<p><em>Do you have collected poems of the Tang poetry? (sic)</em><br />Is that in English or Chinese? If in Chinese, you won\'t need this phrasebook. If it\'s in English, you\'d be better off browsing E-bay or Amazon and buy them online. If you really insist on buying them in China, try finding and ordering them on the local E-bay called www.taobao.com (Chinese interface only) and have them delivered to your hotel. Good luck with that.</p>\n<p><em>Is this Ming porcelain?</em><br />If you\'re really into buying expensive antiques, I\'d suggest using a reliable local guide instead of a crummy phrasebook. If you\'re an expert on this stuff, you shouldn\'t be asking this question at all. If you\'re an ignorant tourist, get ready to be ripped off.</p>\n<p><em>Do you have the original terracotta?</em><br />Is that the clay pot or the life-size warrior we\'re talking about? Anyway, if it\'s a souvenir, just buy something that looks good. Who cares if it\'s original or fake terracotta?</p>\n<p><em>A film for this camcorder, please.</em><br />Excuse me? Film? Oh yes, the stuff that was used before DVD and hard drive cameras hit the market. And would Madam like some rolls of black and white film for her vintage SLR camera?</p>\n<p>Supermarket words given in the phrasebook include <em>bowl, flour and rolling pin.</em><br />Unless you intend to bake some scones or pumpkin bread in the oven you brought along, I doubt there will ever be a need for these items.</p>\n<p><strong>Leisure</strong></p>\n<p><em>Are there any good concerts on?</em><br />Warning: What may sound good to the Chinese won\'t be necessarily to your taste. Opinion questions are always tricky (remember Aunt Mabel asking you if you liked her new hairstyle).</p>\n<p><em>What\'s on at the cinema?</em><br />Where on Earth would you ask this question? At the box office where the walls are plastered with 3-storey high billboards advertising all the movies? At your hotel? At the nearest public toilet? Buggered if I know.</p>\n<p><em>What\'s on at the theatre?</em><br />As if you\'re going to understand Chinese theatre. You don\'t go to the theatre in your own country, so would you do it in China? You might want to try opera, which is impossible to understand wherever you are anyway.</p>\n<p><em>Where is the television?</em><br />I hope you only use this question in case you\'re blind, or as a rhetoric question when it becomes apparent that a thief has stolen the TV from your hotel room.</p>\n<p><em>How do you switch it on?</em><br />Why not try the button at the bottom of the TV or the one on top of the remote? You could always order the Idiot\'s Guide to Switching on a TV of course.</p>\n<p><em>What is on television?</em><br />Ever heard of channel surfing? That\'s usually the best way to find out what\'s on TV in a foreign country.</p>\n<p><em>I want to hire skis.</em><br />I hope you have good medical coverage and are an experienced skier if you decide to utter this phrase.</p>\n<p><em>Can you adjust my bindings?</em><br />Uh-oh. Experienced skiers shouldn\'t be asking these kinds of questions.</p>\n<p><strong>Communications</strong></p>\n<p><em>Could you ask him to call me when he gets back?</em><br />Yeah right. Did you really think the receptionist will understand this phrase when spoken in your dodgy Chinese?</p>\n<p><em>We were cut off.<br /></em>Should read: Did you just hang up on me because you didn\'t understand a word of my broken Mandarin?</p>\n<p><em>This is a very bad line.</em><br />Should read: I don\'t actually understand a word you\'re saying.</p>\n<p><em>I\'ll call back later.</em><br />Should read: I\'ve given up; making calls in Chinese is not my forte. Let\'s just end this conversation without losing face.</p>\n<p><em>Do you have an email?</em><br />The phrasebook means email account as the question is immediately followed by &lsquo;What\'s your email address?\' and of course the answer is yes. Who doesn\'t have an email account?</p>\n<p><em>Do you have a fax?</em><br />I wouldn\'t be surprised if the other party asks if you have a typewriter.</p>\n<p><em>I want to send a fax.</em><br />Why not inquire to see if the hotel has a supply of carrier pigeons?</p>\n<p><strong>Practicalities</strong></p>\n<p><em>Can I pay with euros/Swiss francs?</em><br />And by the way, you wouldn\'t happen to accept Zimbabwean dollars or Gambian dalasis, would you?</p>\n<p><em>I want to change these traveller\'s cheques.</em><br />I didn\'t even know the bloody things still existed. People using these probably don\'t qualify for a credit card - or even a debit card.</p>\n<p><em>Can I use my credit card at the cash dispenser?</em><br />How would the Chinese know - even if they understood your pidgin Mandarin? Just look at the bloody machine and see if it\'s got &lsquo;your\' sticker on it (I\'m referring to the Cirrus, Maestro, Visa, Union Pay and other logos).</p>\n<p><em>This is broken. Is it worth repairing?</em><br />Are we talking about glasses, a camera, a sex toy? China\'s a country where you buy stuff, not have it repaired.</p>\n<p><em>I\'m lost.</em><br />Good on you. I hope you don\'t expect a Chinese Samaritan to take you by the hand and lead you back to your hotel. Let\'s just hope this didn\'t happen on a snowy mountain where you were the only tourist on the campsite.</p>\n<p><em>I have lost my money.</em><br />Well I hope you didn\'t lose your bank cards or your return ticket. Just don\'t expect your local embassy to cough up any money to help you out.</p>\n<p><em>Fire!</em><br />You\'ll end up being the attraction yourself if you start shouting &lsquo;Fire\' in broken Chinese. People won\'t even bother dousing the flames or calling the fire brigade as long as they can see a foreign monkey screaming his head off.</p>\n<p><em>I have crashed my car on the motorway.</em><br />I told you so. Don\'t go renting a car in a country where you can\'t even read the road signs, let alone the dashboard information.</p>\n<p><em>My car has been stolen.</em><br />Uh-oh. Better hope you paid extra for comprehensive insurance. The phrase &lsquo;What\'s the quickest way to get out of the country?\' might be more appropriate in this situation.</p>\n<p><em>I didn\'t know there was a speed limit.</em><br />Yeah right. Just pay your dues and get on with it. The phrase &lsquo;Would you accept a small gift, officer?\' might be too risky in this highly regulated country, especially if you\'re big-nosed.</p>\n<p><strong>Health</strong></p>\n<p><em>I\'m having breathing difficulties at the moment.</em><br />And I\'m sure you\'ll have more when trying to utter this phrase in Chinese. I think just breathing heavily and pointing to your chest should do the trick.</p>\n<p><em>My heart is beating very fast at the moment.</em><br />Just hold two hands to your heart to mimic a fast-beating heart. Unless the doctor you\'re seeing is blind, he\'ll understand.</p>\n<p><em>Will I have to pay?</em><br />Another screamer. Did you really think the cost of your treatment would be covered by the local NHS?</p>\n<p><em>Can you repair my dentures?<br /></em>Just try saying this phrase in Chinese without your dentures. Mission impossible if there ever was one.</p>\n<p><em>Do you have wheelchairs?</em><br />If you\'re really in need of one of these, I\'d bring my own. If you had an accident while travelling, just buy one as the basic models are dirt cheap.</p>\n<p><em>Do you have an induction loop?</em><br />WTF? I won\'t even bother trying to comment on this.</p>\n<p><em>Is there somewhere I can sit down?<br /></em>I suggest looking around for a bench or a chair. If you don\'t see any, try sitting on the ground or floor. Asking anyone Chinese this question is tantamount to saying &lsquo;I\'m blind\' or &lsquo;I\'m an idiot\'.</p>\n<p><strong>Time</strong></p>\n<p><em>What is today\'s date?</em><br />Unless you have Alzheimer\'s, it\'s better not to ask these kinds of questions. There are so many ways to find out what the day or date is (digital watch, mobile phone, Internet etc.) that it\'s simple preposterous bothering locals with this nonsense.</p>\n<p><em>What time is it, please?</em><br />Again, unless your watch just stopped or your mobile phone\'s battery is dead, don\'t ask silly questions. Just look at the wall clock if there is one.</p>\n<p><strong>Eating out</strong></p>\n<p><em>What is the dish of the day?</em><br />Reality check: We\'re in China, not France or Italy. Most restaurants have set menus and an extensive a la carte menu. I\'ve never seen a dish of the day advertised, at least not in English.</p>\n<p><em>Do you have a tourist menu?</em><br />Why not just ask &lsquo;Rip me off, please\'?</p>\n<p><em>What is the speciality of the house?</em><br />Did you really think the restaurant had a waiter standby with enough English skills to explain all this?</p>\n<p><em>Can you tell me what this is?</em><br />Well, if you can\'t make out from a picture or English translation what something on the menu is - or were you looking at it directly maybe while it\'s still alive - it\'s probably a good idea to steer clear from ordering it, unless you want to end up with sea cucumber salad, turtle soup, pig\'s intestines or bull\'s penis on your plate.</p>\n<p><em>Are there any vegetarian restaurants here?</em><br />As the guidebook rightly points out, there are hardly any vegetarian restaurants in China, so I wonder why they insist on adding this question. Usually Taiwanese restaurants have a wide variety of veggie dishes, or you could just ask for some tofu dishes. This is my advice of course, not the phrasebook\'s.</p>\n<p><em>Which dishes have no meat?</em><br />For crying out loud, try a dish listed under &lsquo;Vegetables\' or order a veggie or tofu dish listed in your phrasebook.</p>\n<p><em>Which dishes have no fish?</em><br />Why don\'t you try the meat or veggie dishes? And stop whining like a spoilt brat that doesn\'t want to eat what mummy puts on the table.</p>\n<p><em>I don\'t like meat.</em><br />Well, don\'t order or eat it then. Saying this to anyone Chinese won\'t get you anywhere apart from making locals think that you belong in a loonie bin.</p>\n<p><em>Can you recommend a good local wine?</em><br />Why not just ask &lsquo;Please bring me the most expensive Chinese wine on the menu\'? The result will be the same anyway.</p>\n<p><strong>Menu reader</strong></p>\n<p>The guidebook also has an extensive list of Chinese dishes. That\'s all very well if you\'d like to order <em>stir-fried scallops with asparagus or stewed carp with soy sauce, ginger and spring onions</em>. However, basic dishes that are tasty, quite cheap and easy to find such as chicken, red pork or roast duck on rice are all missing. There is a translation for roast duck (kao ya), but if you order that in a restaurant you\'ll get the whole bird, unless your waiter has half a brain and asks you if you want half or a quarter. The phrasebook is excellent for those willing to order <em>noodle soup with mixed seafood</em>, but fans of more widespread dishes such as beef, pork or chicken noodle soup are left in the cold.</p>\n<p><strong>Backseat driver</strong></p>\n<p>I know that I\'ve been criticising this phrasebook excessively, as it\'s still a useful item when travelling. I was just for a laugh anyway, but go on and call me a back-seat driver. However, it\'s a fact that with some more reflexion, travel experience and teaching techniques in mind, one could it make it so much better.</p>\n<p>Instead of giving all these fixed phrases, why not provide more skeleton phrases or chunks of language which travellers can use to insert their own vocabulary. Instead of &lsquo;Do you have milk\', why not give the phrase &lsquo;Do you have...?\' and let people complete it with what they need, be it milk, a map, a bar of soap or a dildo (note: these kinds of toys are for sale in China).</p>\n<p>Other useful phrases could be &lsquo;Where is the...?\', &lsquo;When does the ... leave?\', &lsquo;How much is/are the...?\' etc. I admit some fixed phrases could still be useful, but instead of &lsquo;Where can I have my tie dry-cleaned?\' or &lsquo;How much does a pair of suspenders cost?\' I\'d like to see stuff like &lsquo;We\'ve run out of toilet paper\', &lsquo;Where is the nearest supermarket?\', &lsquo;What\'s the Wi-Fi password?\' or &lsquo;Do the rooms have broadband Internet access?\'</p>\n<p>By the way, I think I know what happened. A long time ago, someone must have made a phrasebook for probably a European country and that booklet became a template to make many more. What the authors forgot, however, is that you just cannot transplant every single phrase into another language. Different countries have different cultures and do many things differently - or not at all. Anyway, I hope I didn\'t scare you off coming to China. I might put together an Idiot\'s Guide to Travelling in China when I have the time. Have fun.</p>\n</p>','','2010-06-09 00:52:03',1,'2010-06-09 00:52:03','2010-06-09 15:03:04'),(1754,20,'Ajarn.com can go to Hell','ajarn.com-can-go-to-hell','You can please some of the people some of the time','Recently we sent out a teachers newsletter to let people know about all ajarn\'s latest developments and news.

Although a lot of the feedback we get is complimentary, this letter from Dave Bryant proves that it\'s not always a bed of roses running the ajarn.com office. This e-mail was totally genuine. My responses (or in some cases comments) are in bold&nbsp;italics.\n<p>Hi. As you have contacted me, I thought I may answer you, and tell you what I think of Ajarn.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Thanks a lot Dave. It\'s always nice to get feedback.</strong></em></p>\n<p>On the basis that you might just actually reply to this, I am sending you a copy of an email I sent to the BBC.&nbsp;They did a feature on internet distance learning schools - schools that feed naive potential teachers to you. You are part of what I suspect is a &lsquo;gravy train\'</p>\n<p><strong><em>(So reading between the lines and having read the e-mail that Dave sent to the BBC, Dave has obviously got the hump over on-line TEFL course providers who promise teachers that if they spend a measly couple of hundred bucks on a TEFL certificate that a half-blind, half-daft chimpanzee could acquire, the teaching world is their oyster. You\'ll be literally beating off potential employers with a shitty stick. Dave has found this not to be true so he\'s chosen to blame ajarn.com for it. </em><em>Er.....thanks Dave)</em></strong></p>\n<p><em><strong>Just for your interest Dave, no one feeds teachers to me. I don\'t employ teachers. Period. I have done some recruitment for overseas organizations in the past but those organizations have never been in Thailand.</strong></em></p>\n<p>But I doubt you will reply, because just like so many Thais you just won\'t be bothered to reply - you ignored so many emails I sent to Ajarn and I even tried to contact you many times by phone, but no one ever answered.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Dave, I think you\'ve been at the cooking sherry. Firstly, you never ever had my phone number so you couldn\'t have called me once - let alone &lsquo;many times\'. And I have never ignored &lsquo;so many e-mails\' from the same person in my life. If you called the phone number that we used to display on the ajarn jobs page, you would have spoken to one of&nbsp;our full-time call center girls. Yes, they would have completely ignored your calls because after all, that\'s what we paid our call center staff to do.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I have just spent a year in Bangkok trying to find work as a teacher.</p>\n<p><em><strong>That\'s a hell of a long time Dave.&nbsp;I think most&nbsp;people in your shoes would give up after several months.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I want you to know that now I am back in the UK after leaving Bangkok a week ago, I am going to do as much as I can, to dissuade graduates to going to Thailand to look for work and certainly not to trust or use Ajarn.</p>\n<p><em><strong>I keep scouring the BBC website to see if there\'s a story about a guy marching up and down outside universities with a placard or chaining himself to the railings outside the Dean\'s office but I haven\'t seen such a story yet.</strong></em></p>\n<p>Whilst in Thailand - I found nothing but rudeness, greed, racism and corruption. I was even robbed of &pound;400 by Thai Airport Police as they found an administrative error made by Hull Thai Embassy, in regard to my one year visa.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Yes, rudeness, greed, racism and corruption do exist in Thailand. They don\'t exist in the UK of course and you wouldn\'t believe how difficult it is to keep a straight face as I type that out. I\'m genuinely sorry that you were robbed of four hundred quid by the airport police. I think you were genuinely unlucky because I have flown in and out of Bangkok dozens of times and I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen an airport policeman. Do you mean immigration officer? - One of those officers who spotted a mistake with the visa when you left the country but didn\'t see the mistake when you entered? Now that\'s just bizarre.</strong></em></p>\n<p><em><strong>Far be it from me to make assumptions but four hundred pounds is about 20,000 baht, which also just happens to be the maximum fine for overstaying your visa. You did remember that you just can\'t stay in Thailand indefinitely right?</strong></em></p>\n<p>I dutifully used Ajarn\'s web page to try to find work both in international schools, ESL training schools and universities.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Good man!</strong></em></p>\n<p>I emailed, rung, sent letters and made personal visits, but found only rudeness, arrogance and contempt by senior teachers and education officials to me trying to find work.</p>\n<p><em><strong>That\'s funny but when I call up advertisers and they think I am a teacher looking for work, they couldn\'t be nicer. Perhaps you weren\'t putting on your best telephone voice or maybe there\'s a slight possibility that the tone of your e-mail communication comes across as a little abrupt.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I thought I knew the Thai culture, as I have been married to a Thai for five years and visited Thailand many times, and before my recent experience I was very fond of Thailand.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Sadly Dave, it doesn\'t always follow that someone who has been in a country for years automatically becomes an expert on that culture. It\'s possible for someone to be immersed in a culture for a long time and still be a complete cock.</strong></em></p>\n<p>But worse of all, I found that much of my efforts over a 3-month period using Ajarn was a complete waste of time, as most of the adverts placed on Ajarn, which I assume are paid for, have in fact already gone and a teacher had been already appointed.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Some of the ads on ajarn.com are paid for and some aren\'t. Your assumption that &lsquo;most job ads\' on ajarn.com are paid for is wrong Dave&nbsp;I\'m afraid. </strong></em></p>\n<p><strong><em>Call me old-fashioned Dave, but I don\'t think paying&nbsp;to display&nbsp;a job ad on ajarn.com for a position that&nbsp;has already been filled makes a great deal of sense. Do you? And believe it or not, it is not against the law to fill a teaching vacancy by word-of-mouth or perhaps even offer it to a walk-in applicant. Then again - perhaps you saw the ad, applied for the job - and you were just too late. It does happen you know. But to happen to someone for a whole year (as it did in your case) would be most unlucky</em>.</strong></p>\n<p>I spent a great deal of time, writing letters and crafting my CVs so it was specific for the job I was applying for - a total waste of my time.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Yes, I can understand that.</strong></em></p>\n<p>This happen to me time after time and it was only due to my Thai wife\'s family who lived in Bangkok, ringing up the schools to be told the position had been taken some time ago - BEFORE the advert appeared in Ajarn</p>\n<p><em><strong>Now you really are losing me Dave. Did you call the schools or did your wife\'s family call the schools? And how did you or&nbsp;your Thai&nbsp;family&nbsp;know about a job vacancy on ajarn.com before it even appeared on ajarn.com. Will you excuse me while I go and have a lie down?</strong></em></p>\n<p>Ajarn is either incompetent or as I have learnt from painful experience, no farang organisation can survive in Thailand unless it operates as the Thais do, and I expect that is the case I so often found due to the many &lsquo;scams\' Thais are so good at.</p>\n<p><em><strong>You really don\'t like Thailand or the Thais do you? That must be a hell of a burden given the fact you are also married to one.</strong></em></p>\n<p>The placing of adverts on Ajarn will be of some financial reward or favour to some one, but it certainly won\'t be for the benefit of a teacher seeking work.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Yes. It can sometimes be a financial reward for me, because I get revenue for placing the job ad. It\'s also a financial reward for the employer because they get to keep the students happy. And I know this might come across as far-fetched but it\'s also a financial reward for the teacher because it allows them to get a job, earn money and prolong their stay in this land of greed, racism and corruption.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I wonder if you reply, or like the Thais, just dismiss what they don\'t want to hear.</p>\n</span></p>\n<p><em><strong>I did reply to you Dave. I received your e-mail at 9pm and typed out a reply at 6am the following morning. Thank you for your feedback.</strong></em></p>\n<p><em>\n<hr />\n</em></p>\n<p><strong>These were the main points of Dave\'s response to my e-mail.</strong></p>\n<p>Well thank you for replying, it is a shame that no one at Ajarn replied so quickly and in detail over the nine months I was in Bangkok. Much of what you say is true, I may not be suited to Thailand because I am a very moral person, who believes in honesty and respect - which I stupidly believed I would find, because of my lovely wife and her family.</p>\n<p><em><strong>In terms of replying to general teacher enquiries Dave, ajarn.com is very much a one-man show. There is no one else here but me. I wouldn\'t say that those teachers&nbsp;I reply to ever&nbsp;get things &lsquo;in detail\' though. I don\'t mind answering a basic question or two but I don\'t offer time-consuming free consultations I\'m afraid.</strong> </em></p>\n<p><em><strong>I think most of us believe in honesty and respect don\'t we? You make it sound as though Thailand is completely devoid of those characteristics. That is simply not the case.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I don\'t want to get into a &lsquo;tit for tat\' but yes, you are right about the &pound;400, I am still extremely angry, especially as it was a very senior police official who did it to me, with his juniors laughing at my situation. If I had not checked myself, I expect would now be in prison. I did not overstay my one year visa.</p>\n<p><em><strong>No disrespect Dave but how did you know the policeman was &lsquo;senior\'. Perhaps you should have filed a complaint if while this &lsquo;senior officer\' extorted 400 quid from you, his junior officers wiped tears of mirth from their eyes at your unfortunate predicament. And two other things Dave - firstly I don\'t think you would have ever gone to prison and secondly, you never had a one-year visa to begin with. A teacher looking for work can\'t get a straight one-year visa before they come to Thailand. The fact that you thought you held a visa that entitled you to stay for one year in Thailand shows a quite staggering lack of research.</strong></em></p>\n<p>On purchasing my Non-Immigrant B visa, I asked several times by phone and email that I wanted to stay for one year without the need to renew after 90 days or do a border run. I could have not made myself clearer to Hull.</p>\n<p><em><strong>That doesn\'t stack up Dave. Why would you ask &lsquo;several times\'? You would only ask several times if you were unsure so surely it would have made sense to ask another expert. The immigration department comes to mind. And you obviously never looked at that big stamp in your passport telling you what date you have to leave the country by. Sorry Dave - that\'s just plain stupid and irresponsible.</strong></em></p>\n<p>Apparently they did not send me the standard document, warning you that my one year visa was really a 90 day visa.</p>\n<p><em><strong>They (I presume that\'s the Thai consulate at Hull) didn\'t need to. You couldn\'t even apply for a one-year visa if you had wanted it. What you applied for (and got) was a multiple-entry non-immigrant B. It allows you three months in Thailand and then you have to leave and re-enter the Kingdom in order to get the next three months and so on.</strong></em></p>\n<p>I could give you at least 30 stories, where I initially showed politeness, smile, showing respect which always lead to either being either fleeced, cheated, treated with rudeness and so on. I am by nature a nice guy who has travelled a great deal, but Thais have changed me.</p>\n<p><em><strong>Dave, I think you did the right thing going home when you did. In fact if I were you, I would double-lock the front and back door and never go out!</strong></em></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/middle_finger.gif','2010-06-11 22:48:56',1,'2010-06-11 22:48:56','2010-06-13 11:11:57'),(1765,59,'The making of a champion','the-making-of-a-champion','Teacher and student working together in perfect harmony','Is sheer talent sufficient enough to make a story telling champion? What has training got to do with it?','<p>\"Is sheer talent sufficient enough to make a story telling champion? What has training got to do with it?\"\n<p>Well, 2 years ago, I was very fortunate to find a child prodigy to represent our small public elementary school (less that 200 enrollees) in a Storytelling Contest in Nonthaburi Province. The Department of Special English Project in Area 1 and 2 sponsored this event. It was held at Pak Kret School where my grade 5 student bested \"all\" elementary public school story tellers in the entire province.</p>\n<p>It was incredible. My student emerged victorious on this event. Was it because she had better training compared to other contestants, who similarly had very competent and enthusiastic trainers? Was it due to the kind of story she told which impressed the judges and amused the audience as well? Was it caused by the technique of presentation or was it justified by the kind of materials used in presenting the story effectively?</p>\n<p>Whatever the answers are, let me point out them one by one so that, you, too can produce a champion in your future competitions.</p>\n<p>Actually, I had waited for nearly 2 years before I could find a material that would bring me to the limelight of success. That was the time when this student came to our school just in time for the competition to be held the succeeding month.</p>\n<p>\"I could see a winner when I see one...\" I enthused myself for I found indeed a gem. It was like an advance forecast of the contest scenario which made me very optimistic despite the fact that I shouldn\'t be counting the chicks before they are hatched.</p>\n<p>Anyway, the first thing I did was to choose a very entertaining story about animals involving varied voices. I didn\'t confine myself with Aesop\'s Fables because I wanted more simple language which was suited to the level of my student. The fact that one of the criteria for judging was the presence of a moral lesson I wrote a story adapted from \"The Musicians of Bremen\" by Brothers Grimm with a whetting introduction, \"Have you ever scared someone smaller than you are just because you are big? How did he/she feel? Is it good to do this? Listen to my story with the help of the pictures I made myself.\" The ending was - \"So, boys and girls, next time, don\'t scare someone because you are big.\"<br />If you want a copy of the story, <a href=\"mailto:banaida_0808@yahoo.com\">E-mail me</a>&nbsp;and I will gladly send it to you.</p>\n<p>For I had a strong hunch that my student would be a sure winner, I was so enthusiastic to train her. Unlike the previous trainings I had with other contestants in other competitions, my training was not as taxing as before. I did piecemeal memorization and simple voice production of animals, and as soon as the story was mastered the real McCoy came.</p>\n<p>Oh, I was lucky to have the assistance of my very supportive coordinator, the girl\'s mother herself, a group of high school students from the International School of Bangkok called \"Make a Difference\", and critics from the British volunteers in our school. It\'s funny because the result contradicted the old adage. \"Too many cooks spoil the broth.\" What also contributed to this successful quest was the full support of the school. It provided the materials needed, time for rehearsals were allotted, and storytelling practice during flag ceremonies was permitted. Although the student was a neophyte, I sensed she was oozing with confidence and not least to mention, her astonishing accent was entirely different from that of a kid of a typical Thai family.. What\'s remarkable about her too is that she is a natural story teller.</p>\n<p>The next thing I had to worry about was to think of how to present the story. I wondered whether to use puppets, diorama, pictures, miniature book, realia, overhead projector, power point, or slides, instead I used a modified flannel board style using an artist\'s easel, and 3 future boards measured 18\" x 30\"with story scenes made out of cut fluorescent colored cartolina and individually cut colorful pictures of animals that could be tacked and moved to the background scenes when necessary.</p>\n<p>I tell you, if you were in the finals, you would be amused too. In fact, a week after the contest, my champion storyteller presented in front of more than two hundred school directors from the province and she got a very resounding applause from them.</p>\n<p>Wait, I haven\'t told you how she won?</p>\n<p>It\'s like this. The first competition was composed of 11 schools in our area. She was rated second. The girl from a private school won. But&nbsp;with the help of lady luck she was invited to join the final round to represent Pak Kret district public schools while the 1st Prize Winner from the private school had to compete with Private schools. On the scheduled date the champion story tellers of Nonthaburi representing its 4 districts (Pak Kret, Bangyai, Bang Bua Thong, and Sai Noi) had their final showdown.</p>\n<p>Don\'t you think talent, training, kind of story, style of presentation, and materials used, made her win? Who do you think won? Of course, our prodigy was the champ. Because of that, another feather was added to my cap as a coach/trainer.</p>\n<p>You see, mere talent is inadequate to make a great champion. It has to be coupled with the right training from a creative coach. Teamwork or good chemistry is another contributing factor. A good student plus a good coach produces a champion. Similarly, good students plus a good English teacher produces more confident speakers.</p>\n<p>The implication of &lsquo;training\' in ESL and EFL teaching in Thailand is so great that with it teaching our students would be a piece of cake. Gone are the days when the teacher serves as the sole source of wisdom in the classroom. These days, classes are student centered and the teacher merely serves as a facilitator. Teacher talk is minimized. The more the students talk, the more chances of internalizing the language particularly the structures being taught. That\'s why pair group, small group, simulations, role plays, dialogues, and other communicative activities, play an enormous role in English teaching. Without training/practice students won\'t make their learning functional. Many teachers say that our Thai students in the public schools are not keen in the language because they have very little opportunity to practice. If they have less practice, then increase their chance in the classroom.</p>\n<p>So fellow teachers, never give up hope teaching English to Thai kids. The results may not be manifested immediately, but in few years time, the seed that we have planted will become a tree full of fruit and the efforts we exerted will never be put to waste but would be fully utilized to the optimum when the right place and the right time comes.</p>\n</p>','','2010-06-15 03:15:36',1,'2010-06-15 03:15:36','2010-06-15 17:05:37'),(1803,21,'I work for the school from hell','i-work-for-the-school-from-hell','Why the Thailand TEFL watchdog site is doomed to failure','Where can a teacher go to on the internet if they want to warn other teachers about a particular school and tell others how they have to work with an insane farang-hating nun, an alcoholic academic director who spends most of the day flirting with the Thai staff and a cross-dressing senior teacher who stands up in the middle of observations and shouts \"you dare to call this an English lesson\"?','<p><em>\"I have just been fired from a school and want to tell the world how bad the place is. Is there a website where I can list all my grievances and warn other teachers against working there?\"</em>\n<p>What amazes many Thailand-based English teachers - many of them new arrivals - is that no such website exists. Ok, there might be the odd blog knocking around with fifty reasons why a certain school is Hell on earth or a sad looking forum with single figure membership&nbsp;- but there isn\'t a respected TEFL watchdog site that\'s well-known and serves as the first place to go when the relationship between teacher and employer has reached breaking point.</p>\n<p>There have been several attempts over the past decade to create and run a TEFL watchdog site where teachers can pour out their woes - but all have failed. Some websites lasted longer than others but ultimately the webmasters have given up catering to disgruntled teachers and gone back to their day jobs.</p>\n<p>Let\'s examine the reasons for the spectacular failure of the Thailand TEFL watchdog site.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to begin with a teacher tale. About the time I took over running ajarn.com in 2002, I worked with a teacher who was doing some hourly paid corporate work in the evenings. I\'ve forgotten the teacher\'s name so we\'ll call him Alan.</p>\n<p>Alan\'s corporate work was separate to his day job and as long as it didn\'t interfere with his daytime classes, he was perfectly entitled to earn a bit of extra cash on the side. For the record, Alan was a likeable, hard-working guy and I got on with him very well. He also knew that I ran ajarn.com so he approached me one day with a problem. He had recently finished a 40-hour contract at a multinational company and now his employers were refusing to pay him. This was a corporate training provider that advertised regularly on ajarn.com and I had already heard rumors that their teachers were having problems getting paid. Because Alan was both a friend and colleague, I decided to step in and find out exactly what was going on.</p>\n<p>I called up the training provider and explained the situation to the owner of the business. <br />\"My friend Alan has taught 40 hours for you and it seems you are reluctant to pay what you owe him\" <br />The owner was somewhat taken aback. \"Thanks for your call Phil but there has definitely been a misunderstanding here. Alan signed a contract with us before he started the 40-hour course and agreed that the rate of 500 baht an hour would be paid once we had received student reports for the ten students in his group and the course materials (textbooks and tape cassette) had been returned to our office. The truth is we are still waiting for Alan to write the student reports despite telling him several times and he still has possession of the classroom materials. Believe me - we haven\'t made this up in order to delay payment. Alan was aware of his commitment when he signed on the dotted line. Once he furnishes us with the reports and returns the books and cassette, we will pay him right away\"</p>\n<p>In all honesty, I had been left feeling a little red-faced. I have taught numerous corporate contracts myself and when an employer states that you will be paid once you agree to submit student reports, you accept those rules. They are NOT unreasonable requests, especially if you were the teacher who signed the contract in the first place.</p>\n<p>Feeling more than a little angry and put-out, I tracked down Alan and relayed to him the details of my phone conversation with his employer.<br />\"Alan, how could you ask me to follow this matter up and miss out such an important detail? You haven\'t done the bloody student reports\"<br />There was an uncomfortable silence before Alan came back at me with the pathetically weak \"I\'d forgotten the terms of the contract\"<br />\"Well next time, why don\'t you read the contract every so often just to remind you of your obligations\" was my response.</p>\n<p>That night, Alan went home and typed up the student reports. He handed them in to his employer the following day, along with the class materials, and he was paid his wages within 24 hours. Alan got his money in the end.</p>\n<p>Who was at fault here? Many will side with the employer; some might even support Alan the teacher. But one thing is for certain - we will never know the true story. The whole issue is a very dark shade of gray. And this is at the core of why Thailand TEFL watchdog sites have endured such an appalling track record. There are nearly always two sides to every story.</p>\n<p>The truth is that I could relate several instances where I have gone to bat for a teacher and been left with serious egg on my face. Alan\'s story is just one example.</p>\n<p>One of the more high-profile attempts to run a TEFL watchdog site was started in early 2006 by a guy who went under the name of Rico. He launched &lsquo;TEFLwatch\' as a forum where teachers who had been wronged by school management and unfairly dismissed could have a voice. Ajarn.com did a hot seat interview with <a href=\"/ajarn-street/hot-seat/webmaster-rico/\">Webmaster Rico</a> in the months after TEFLwatch began and when his enthusiasm for the project was commendable if perhaps a little premature. Webmaster Rico - who had suffered himself at the hands of unscrupulous language school owners in Southern Thailand - promised us something that no TEFL watchdog site had offered before. TEFLwatch was going to be a heavily moderated forum where the truth would come out and dodgy employers would be ruthlessly exposed. There was even a Hall of Shame section where the cream of Thailand\'s worst employers could enjoy a few months of notoriety while numerous ex-teachers lay into them and gave them a virtual battering they would never forget.</p>\n<p>Credit where its due, TEFLwatch did manage to ruffle a few feathers in school boardrooms during its relatively brief life-span but all good things come to an end and after two years in the spotlight, Webmaster Rico, who by now had mysteriously become Teacher Greg, decided to pull the plug. Teacher Greg gave ajarn.com a <a href=\"/ajarn-street/hot-seat/greg-of-tefl-watch/\">heartfelt &lsquo;exit interview\'</a> and cited moderator bickering as one of the main reasons for not carrying on. However, it was the responsibility of providing a soapbox for disgruntled teachers that eventually wore him down. There comes a time when even though some names are constantly being shamed, there are nagging doubts that the employers are not getting a true right of reply. Worse still, who wants to put their head on the pillow at night with threats of legal action hanging over them - threats of legal action from often very powerful and influential school owners.</p>\n<p>None of this came as a surprise to me. I thought Webmaster Rico or whatever name he went under, did well to keep the shop open for as long as he did.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been in the situation where I\'ve splashed something less than savory about a particular school on the ajarn.com website and been threatened with the Thai law courts as a result. Let me tell you - it\'s not a pleasant feeling. I told Greg at the time that closing the TEFLwatch site was probably the best decision he would ever make. At least he\'d given it a go. And at least he would sleep better at night.</p>\n<p>There are those who say ajarn.com should pick up the baton and take these awful schools and teacher agencies to task. Name and shame them on the ajarn homepage for all the world to see. I have absolutely no intention of doing so. There are certain battles that a teacher has to fight alone. At risk of sounding like a broken gramophone record - there are nearly always two sides to every story and both sides of a story are almost impossible to get.</p>\n<p>Too many teachers who take on the very serious and potentially slanderous task of writing negatively about a school, never choose their words carefully enough for my liking. I sympathize inasmuch as emotions can run high when a teacher feels they have been victimized but you have to tread carefully. Slander is a serious crime in Thailand. Teachers often add color to their writing with endless embellishment and hyperbole when it\'s important to deal in facts and facts only. Academic directors who simply play by strict rules become \'overbearing tyrants\', admin staff who do what they are told become \'tell-tale ass-kissers\', the Sister who is in charge of foreign staff at a Catholic school and perhaps doesn\'t possess the greatest people skills morphs into &lsquo;the barking mad farang-hating nun from Hell\'</p>\n<p>And universities who make you stay until 5pm are accused of running \'an academic prison\'. I think you get the point.</p>\n<p>Very recently someone signed up to the ajarn discussion forum to report on a college in the Samut Prakarn area of Bangkok where he had recently taken up employment. The account was well-written and posted by someone with perhaps only a small axe to grind.</p>\n<p>The report was divided into two sections - &lsquo;good points\' and &lsquo;other points\'. I don\'t know if &lsquo;other points\' translated as &lsquo;bad points\' but they were certainly not part of the &lsquo;good points\' section - so I took them to be negatives. Certain entries are worth analyzing (my responses are in <strong>bold</strong> type) and although I\'ve changed the actual wording of the original entries, I\'ve kept the gist.</p>\n<p>You have to stay at school until 5pm so the moral among the foreign teachers is quite low.</p>\n<p><strong>Actually, according to other forum members who joined the discussion, this seems perfectly normal practice at Thai schools.</strong></p>\n<p>Rumors abound that the school head doesn\'t like foreigners and wants revenge for events that happened in the past.</p>\n<p><strong>Ah, yes. We all like a good rumor and a bit of office tittle-tattle don\'t we? But rumors don\'t equate with facts.</strong></p>\n<p>One building has five floors and no elevator.</p>\n<p><strong>I worked at a school for five years with five floors and an elevator that was always broken. You do what I did. You just get on with it and start walking. Every job has its downsides. The perfect job doesn\'t exist.</strong></p>\n<p>The recruiter doesn\'t mention that as a foreign teacher, you will only be teaching boys.</p>\n<p><strong>The recruiter probably doesn\'t have to. I would have thought &lsquo;what kind of students will I be teaching\' should be pretty high on that list of questions to ask at a job interview.</strong></p>\n<p>Teachers have to use a clocking-in and clocking-out system - just like the janitors.</p>\n<p><strong>Where have you been for the last twenty years? Companies want to monitor when their staff arrives and leaves - janitors and teachers alike.</strong></p>\n<p>The recruiter will mislead you into believing that the school is near the Bangkok sky-train but it isn\'t.</p>\n<p><strong>But whenever you think about taking a job - anywhere in the world - the ease or difficulty in getting to work should be top of your agenda. I know it\'s always been top of mine. And it\'s YOUR responsibility to ascertain how long it\'s going to take you to get to work and whether taking the position is viable. Everyone has different ideas on what constitutes \'a ten-minute walk\' or \'a five-minute taxi ride\'. There is only one way to find out - test it yourself. No one with any common sense accepts a job and then at the end of the first day thinks \"shit! it\'s going to take me ages to get home. If only I had researched things better\"</strong></p>\n<p>Some teachers take part in a drinking and smoking mafia on Friday nights after work.</p>\n<p><strong>Why is it a &lsquo;mafia\'?&nbsp; I\'m sure many teachers would welcome the opportunity to get together with colleagues and socialize. Or is this a small cluster of teachers with nicotine-stained fingers all plotting on how to slip a horse\'s head into the academic director\'s bed.</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m convinced that the Thailand TEFL watchdog site idea will never take off. There are always too many gray areas. It&lsquo;s a crying shame because believe it or not, I think there is a real call for a well-run site where teachers and school administration can meet in cyberspace and discuss school policies calmly and sensibly. And if England puts me in the international team I think we have every chance of winning the next World Cup.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/keyboardfire.gif','2010-06-20 22:04:49',1,'2010-06-20 22:04:49','2010-06-21 12:12:50'),(1812,55,'An evening with Chris Thatcher','an-evening-with-chris-thatcher','Education begins with understanding','The Thailand Educators Network invited Chris Thatcher along to talk about the last sixty years of teaching in the British education system,','<p>Chris Thatcher a well-respected educator and education consultant to international schools, former President of the UK National Association of Head Teachers, and former S.E. Asia Education Development Director of Cambridge Education came to TEN to share his thoughts, reminiscences, and some pearls of wisdom with fellow educators this July at the Roadhouse Barbecue.\n<p>When I first met the man, he seemed an austere figure and I felt a bit hesitant to casually chitchat with him. Perception, mine especially, is such a fickle thing. As he spoke, I came to realize that here was an extremely clever man who cared. <br />&bull; He cared about seeing that education was well rounded and tailored to the student. <br />&bull; He cared about seeing that this was shared broadly abroad. <br />&bull; Most of all he cared about the well-being of a child first and foremost before their education.</p>\n<p>He was talking my language, had my complete attention and was articulating many of my thoughts as I only wish I could.</p>\n<p>Chris\' father was a teacher. He was one of the many trained through the Emergency Training Scheme of 1947 when Britannia was shedding an empire and rebuilding the home country. At that time, classes were based on ability and within each class and those with the best grades sat at the back and those with the worst sat at the front.</p>\n<p>Many had a predetermined education, just as Chris did with his mum deciding that he would be a dentist when he was only a child. As we know now, that was not to last. He got into teaching as many have because he needed a job. He was an untrained teacher, but had an inspirational Head Master that showed him how to care first and teach second. Isn\'t it odd how many of us end up walking in our father\'s footsteps whether we intended to or not.</p>\n<p>As his inspiring mentor showed him, Chris related that education is half the art of communication and half knowing what you are going to do. It does not sound so complicated and it is not. Yet we adults somehow manage to make the simplest of things very complicated at times.</p>\n<p>It also begins with empathy encompassing care, compassion, concern, understanding and sympathy. We should question the why of a child\'s behavior rather than responding to their actions. Then our response should always be with an open heart.</p>\n<p>While Chris reviewed the past sixty years of education in the UK, as only an expert can. After listening to him for some time, I could pin down what was wrong with education in the UK to six key points:</p>\n<p><strong>1. Standards<br />2. Testing<br />3. Standards<br />4. Testing<br />5. Standards<br />6. Testing</strong></p>\n<p>I realize that there are really only two main points, but those two seemed so BIG, I felt I ought to repeat them a couple of times. Since the Butler Education Act established primary education as law in 1944 there have been at least twenty enquiries, reports, manifestos, white papers, and reviews of education, most of them in the past 20 or so years. Every one of them seemed to come with a new style of testing.</p>\n<p>At the same time, they were looking to see if students were maintaining standards. Someone forgot to tell the governments that a standard that that keeps changing, well, it is not actually a standard. However, that is what happens when you gag Ministers of Education and political dogma becomes more important than a child\'s education. As an example, the National Curriculum of 1964 was meant to be good for all, but was a disaster.</p>\n<p>It did not take students environment into account. The league table for schools had hundreds of attainment targets in 10 different subjects. It looked like everyone has to put their two pence in. How anyone was supposed to keep track of it all is beyond me.</p>\n<p>What I learned from Chris is that it comes down to this:</p>\n<p>Some things you cannot measure.</p>\n<p>How can you evaluate a child\'s ability to lead a group or interact socially in a test? What if a child is having a difficult time at home and does poorly on a test that the school will use to place him or her for the next four years? Assessment is vital but as has been shown in the past 66 years in the U.K., testing to standards can go wrong.</p>\n<p>A teacher needs to know and care about all of her or his students, be aware of their strengths and areas with room for more growth. However, most of all a teacher needs to have a big open heart for the children in their care.</p>\n<p>Chris closed with a quote out of the Cambridge Review.</p>\n<p>Good Teachers: What they have in common</p>\n<p>&bull; Secure knowledge of what is to be taught and learned.<br />&bull; Command of a broad repertoire of teaching strategies and skills<br />&bull; Understanding of the evidence in which the repertoire is grounded<br />&bull; Broad principles of effective learning and teaching derived from the above<br />&bull; Judgment to weigh up needs and situations, apply the principles and deploy the repertoire appropriately<br />&bull; A framework of educational aims and values to steer and sustain the whole</p>\n<p>... and what the children say</p>\n<p>Children, as revealed by the Review\'s 87 regional consultations, are interested in pedagogy. They said that good teachers are those who; <br />&bull; &lsquo;Really know their stuff\' (what researchers refer to as pedagogical content knowledge)<br />&bull; &lsquo;Explain things in advance so you know what a lesson is about\' (advanced cognitive organization)<br />&bull; &lsquo;Make sure it\'s not in too big steps\' (graduated instruction)<br />&bull; &lsquo;Give us records of what we learn\' (formative feedback)</p>\n<p>If you ever have a chance to hear Chris Thatcher speak, I strongly urge you to go and listen. You will come away with more than just a few pearls of wisdom.</p>\n<p>This month\'s contribution was prepared by Thailand Educators Network, Co-Chair, Tom Erickson.</p>\n</p>','','2010-06-25 18:28:22',1,'2010-06-25 18:28:22','2010-06-26 08:08:23'),(1819,59,'Dreams do come true','dreams-do-come-true','Gumban\'s story','Gumban once thought, “Is it love for travel or is it mere coincidence that I am here in Thailand as a teacher?  “Is it force of circumstance or matter of choice?” “What has really brought me here?”','<p>I\'m&nbsp;going to tell you&nbsp;an inspiring story of a teacher in Thailand. Gumban is not his real name to keep his identity private. He generously shared with me his glimpses towards going and living in Thailand. His story is so overwhelming that I can hardly keep it all to myself alone. I am sharing his story to all ajarn.com readers so they too,&nbsp;can extract wonderful glimpses of their own situation and be inspired to keep pursuing their dreams and have it realized in \"The Land of Smiles.\"\n<h3>Dreams Do Come True</h3>\n<p>Gumban once thought, \"Is it love for travel or is it mere coincidence that I am here in Thailand as a teacher? \"Is it force of circumstance or matter of choice?\" \"What has really brought me here?\"</p>\n<p>Thailand first came into Gumban\'s life when his history teacher impressed&nbsp;on him&nbsp;that Thailand&nbsp;was the only Southeast Asian country never to have been taken over by any European power. In his young mind, he was&nbsp;in awe&nbsp;of such a&nbsp;country. \"Now, that\'s interesting,\" he thought, \"How come? Were the people just so nationalistic and such&nbsp;great warriors that they had won all their feats with colonizers?&nbsp;How did Thailand live&nbsp;up to its privileged name, Muang Thai - Land of the Free?\"</p>\n<p>Although there was a&nbsp;willingness of spirit in him, there was weakness in his body, too, to venture to the country of his dreams. Even after graduation from college he still couldn\'t fulfill his dream of going to Thailand. He confined himself to watching movies which could transport him to the world of the&nbsp;Thais or which would allow him to get a&nbsp;few glimpses of the country that his heart has gotten so hooked on. He watched movies like \"The Bridge Over The River Kwai,\" and \"The King and I.\" He also read books and magazines about Thailand. The more facts he knew about the country, the more his mind&nbsp;became engrossed&nbsp;by it.</p>\n<p>He fell in love with Thailand when he stopped&nbsp;at Don Muang Airport for a stopover en route to Afghanistan to work as a UN volunteer. He had finally&nbsp;seen the country he had admired so much. Moreover, curiosity about it grew when he read and heard stories about the refugees in Phanat Nikhom, in Chonburi Province while he was teaching Indo-Chinese refugees at Bataan Refugee Processing Center in the Philippines.</p>\n<p>Although he enjoyed his work in the Philippines, something&nbsp;was missing. There was something lacking in his life&nbsp;and he wanted&nbsp;to identify what&nbsp;it was. It wasn\'t long though when he figured&nbsp;it out&nbsp;- visiting the country of his dreams. \"That\'s it!\" He had&nbsp;the conviction to&nbsp;leave his own country and go to Thailand. \"Yes, why not go to Thailand, but how?\" he muttered</p>\n<p>One day he came across an advertisement saying \"Wanted -&nbsp;100 Teachers in Thailand.\" \"Good God!\" His heart leapt with joy and his eyes couldn\'t believe what he saw! \"Was&nbsp;this the key to the door that had been locked for a long time and could only be opened at the prime time of his life?\"&nbsp; In his intense excitement he prepared&nbsp;an impressive r&eacute;sum&eacute;.</p>\n<p>After a week, Gumban received a call congratulating him and telling him&nbsp;that he was one of those qualified for the advertised job, and the project leaders&nbsp;scheduled him for&nbsp;an interview. He passed both&nbsp;the interview and the test. Once again, he was congratulated for passing and was scheduled for a video taping. There were certain requirements though, including some financial outlay, but he attended to all of&nbsp;them one by one. \"I\'ll worry about the financial issues, later.\"</p>\n<p>One day he was asked to make a speech. But before mastering the speech it&nbsp;had to&nbsp;be approved first.&nbsp;Despite a failing memory,&nbsp;he managed to&nbsp;make an outstanding delivery of his speech on video. When the day came, the office&nbsp;had a video camera mounted on a tripod. He prepared himself like an actor scheduled for a shooting of a big stage production. There were lots of takes&nbsp;needed to&nbsp;achieve perfection. Then the assistant remembered the idiot board she had&nbsp;prepared for him and asked him to start all over.</p>\n<p>The big problem was the money. Must he borrow from loan sharks in the neighborhood? Must he mortgage his house and lot? He didn\'t have a carabao (water buffalo) to sell? What must he do? Thoughts began&nbsp;turning over&nbsp;in Gumban\'s mind but fortunately, his brother worked in Saudi Arabia, and it was to him whom Gumban turned to for help. Without anything in exchange his brother sent him some money. As his friends later said, \"You don\'t have to pay that much if you come to Thailand as a tourist.\" Well perhaps&nbsp;he was na&iuml;ve to&nbsp;ignore that one tiny detail. At that very moment all that mattered to him was to be able to fulfill all that was required of him so he could get going onto the next process.</p>\n<p>Weeks before departure, three cases of illegal recruitment were aired on television as an expose of Filipinos taking advantage of fellow Filipinos. Gumban felt nervous as ever. On his way, to the agency he couldn\'t refrain from entertaining negative thoughts in his mind. What it everything was a fake? What if the agency was a fly-by-night one? What if there was no work and the departure would be postponed? It would be a shame then - a terrible embarrassment to him and to his family.</p>\n<p>But after a month of his stay in Thailand, Gumban was hired&nbsp;to work on&nbsp;the Nonthaburi Teachers Project.</p>\n<p>He gives thanks his Filipino, American and&nbsp;Thai friends who have made his stay in Thailand so rewarding. Most of the people who got acquainted with him call him \"the lucky one\".</p>\n<p>His experience was like a baptism of fire. He underwent all those travails of any newbie in Thailand like finding a decent and affordable apartment, doing the visa run, the difficulty of communicating in Thai, job hunting, and the hard part, culture shock. But what\'s great&nbsp;about Gumban is how his life has transpired throughout those circumstances, difficulties and challenges.&nbsp;He he never lost hope. He went on believing and praying that dreams really do come true with much persistence and hard work, In his own perfect timing, his prayers and his heart\'s desires were granted.</p>\n<p>I ardently hope more and more people will be inspired by Gumban\'s strong-hearted faith and will. And I agree with him, &lsquo;Keep on Believing\'. The road to achieving one\'s dream will never be easy but it is traceable, doable and realizable by God\'s grace and with effort on our part.</p>\n</p>','','2010-06-27 18:47:24',1,'2010-06-27 18:47:24','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1821,31,'Those crazy government officials','those-crazy-government-officials','Just when you thought it couldn\'t get any crazier','Once again, a high level government official has given an answer that doesn’t care one whit about reality on the ground, in the real Thai world.

I\'ve been racking my brain trying to think of the answer to three questions:\n<p>1) What should I write my next article about?<br />2) Does anybody actually read any of them?<br />3) When is Jamiroquai EVER going to come to Bangkok?!</p>\n<p>My writus interruptus was blessedly put out of it\'s misery by the insightful statements of a few Thai government officials.</p>\n<p>My thought for July is this...</p>\n<p>\"If you want to know where to look, for REALLY good drugs, just ask a high level government official!\"</p>\n<p>Trust me...they must&nbsp;have the BEST stuff. How do I know this? Please, let me enlighten you, as they enlightened me.</p>\n<p>First, there was THIS statement, from The Deputy Governor of The Bank of Thailand.</p>\n<p>\"<a href=\"http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/376229-thailand-tourism-industry-to-recover-in-6-months/\">I believe the country\'s economy will grow 45 per cent this year</a>.\"</p>\n<p>You know The Bank of Thailand right? It\'s the organization that\'s responsible for all banking policy and its decisions have a tremendous effect upon everyone who calls Thailand their permanent home, who doesn\'t just HAPPEN to be independently wealthy. You MIGHT think that one of the top people there would have a good, realistic head on their shoulders...maybe.</p>\n<p>Now I don\'t have a Phd in Economics from The London School of Economics or anything. However, I read \"Wealth of Nations\", understand the basics of Keynesian Economic Theory, took (and passed) Micro and Macroeconomics in college and like to consider myself a reasonably intelligent guy. I don\'t slobber in my breakfast either, let\'s put it THAT way. Not unless I\'ve had a night out partying on the same stuff as the Deputy Governor of The Bank of Thailand! What I this guy smoking? Can I get some...please?! What\'s his dealers\' number?</p>\n<p>My guess is he has a large stash of Maui Wowie hidden somewhere deep in the bowels of The Bank of Thailand. Big, controlled access vaults are good for hiding stuff you know! They probably have very high tech ventilation systems too. No orange scent air freshener for him sir! Being that high up has its perks apparently.</p>\n<p>If he had said \"4 or 5 percent\" I could understand. That would be reasonable. Once again, a high level Thai government official has no intention of saying anything that is even in the neighborhood of a little place I like to call \"reality\". What a surprise.</p>\n<p>The second high level government official who MUST be on&nbsp;something is at The Teacher\'s Council. I am going to refrain from telling you who, exactly, she is because I know her and I don\'t like the idea of being shot. Suffice it to say that I was in a meeting with her, about a week ago, and a few other high level Teachers Council people. For the first hour, the usual boring policy and initiative follow up checklists were trudged through...the tedious but necessary motions of government. Then I was asked what I thought, as a foreign teacher in Thailand, of the current teacher licensing rules and regulations. I very politely answered that:</p>\n<p>I understand and agree with the idea that non-Thai nationals, who wish to teach in the Thai public school systems should know how to teach and have a basic grounding in the necessary knowledge to successfully manage a classroom, write lesson plans and grading rubrics, etc. However, I feel that the government has not taken several realities into consideration. First, many very good, experienced foreign teachers, that never finished their Bachelor degrees, have neither the time, money, nor inclination to move back to their home countries to finish their Bachelor degrees. In my opinion, more than 50 percent of non-Thai nationals currently teaching in Thai public schools, fall into this category. Are we going to throw the baby out with the bath water?</p>\n<p>Why would have to do this, she asked.</p>\n<p>Because there is currently NO Thai university (that I know of) offering distance or online Bachelor degrees in ANY discipline in English. There are however&nbsp;plenty of Masters level online or distance learning courses as well as several weekday evening and/or weekend courses, to help them finish off their Bachelor degrees.</p>\n<p>Second, even if a foreign teacher is willing to spend the money and time to finish their Bachelor degree, so that they can then take the 1 year teacher licensing course, all those courses are being given by universities in Bangkok, Chiengmai, Hat Yai or Khon Kaen.</p>\n<p>What about the guy living and teaching at a mountain school in Nan, or in some temple school in a small village in Roi Et, or at a school with 300 students in a tiny hamlet on the southern peninsula? Are they supposed to quit their jobs, leave their families (which most long timers here have) and move to Bangkok, so they can finish their Bachelor degree?</p>\n<p>Why doesn\'t the government use its resources, like The Rachaphat University System, to set up a distance/online course to KEEP these GOOD teachers who will have to leave Thailand soon, if things don\'t change? You know...actually HELP us, instead of making us feel like the unwanted guest at a party?</p>\n<p>I know plenty of Thai teachers, over 45 years old, who never finished&nbsp;their Bachelor degrees, but have been doing a damn fine teaching job, at some small provincial school, for close to 20 years! They are allowed to get teacher licenses based on professional experience, even though they don\'t qualify academically. But not foreign teachers. Hmmm...I wonder why that might be?</p>\n<p>Her answer was \"Well, we have quite clearly stated the policy. It is their responsibility to get themselves qualified, not ours. If they don\'t like it, they can go to another country.\"</p>\n<p>I told her that that is what many of them are already doing. I also told her that I was informed, at the information desk at The TCT that the \"Temporary Waivers\" would only be given out a maximum of TWO times. Each one lasts two years. So that gives any of the foreign teachers who are currently not qualified FOUR years to get qualified. Hear that everyone? Get yourself qualified, damn your eyes! Never mind the fact that there are no systems in place to help you get qualified. Don\'t make trouble! Love it or leave it! And, for the sake of all the linguini in China, PLEASE don\'t get me started on the teacher\'s license 4 part tests...I might just have heart attack!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So, once again, a high level government official has given an answer that doesn\'t care one whit about reality on the ground, in the real Thai world. And who cares that, within a few years, Thai children will have no native speakers to teach in the public schools?</p>\n<p>Finally,&nbsp;I leave you with a ray of sunshine through the clouds.

These series of consultations&nbsp;with the Filipino teaching community resulted&nbsp;in the primary objective&nbsp;of seeking answers to the growing concerns and issues brought about by the Thai Culture and Language, and Professional Standards Training. With the strong support of the defunct Filipino Educators\' Council of Thailand, the leadership was able to find the solution. The Filipino teachers and other foreign nationals were grateful to the first biggest and most affordable Thai Culture and Language, and Professional Standards Training in May 2008. Since then, it opened many channels of information sources on this important teacher licensing requirement.</p>\n<p>This coming June 30, 2010 the Filipinos and Friends in Chiangrai will have its induction of officers and welfare services\' consultation by the Philippine Embassy. Coincidentally, the date happens to be the inauguration of president-elect Benigno \"Noynoy\" Aquino III back home in the Philippines. Now, the group has reached more than 60 members and counting. It is believed that there are more than 100 Filipino expats in Chiangrai. The recorded Filipino expat who stayed the longest in this cool province is businesswoman Tita Elisa who has been living for more than 35 years. She is married to a Thai-Chinese who manages one of the biggest hotels in town and they have two successful children who are taking care of the family\'s other business lines.</p>\n<p>Notably, one of the municipal schools called \"Tesaban 7\" employed 12 Filipino teachers while other major schools hired an average of two to three Filipinos. Miss Gina Salonga who used to work in Kanchanipisek Chaiyaphum adds to the list of desirable Filipino teachers. She was a teacher trainer in Kanchanapisek and her accomplishment in the field of teaching English as a second language was featured at Channel 7 in 2008. She is now working at Mae Fah Luang University.</p>\n<p>This year, the Filipinos and Friends in Chiangrai aims to provide a series of professional development training to its members focusing on the improvement of the teaching weaknesses of the Filipino teachers. Moreover, the group will be doing some cultural shows to highlight the Filipinos\' cultural heritage in the province.</p>\n</p>','','2010-06-28 17:19:11',1,'2010-06-28 17:19:11','2010-06-29 07:07:12'),(1828,6,'The perfect storm','the-perfect-storm','One needs to check the weather before one heads out on an adventure','There was one final story I wanted to relate here, because it was my greatest adventure in Thailand.

Or was at least my most memorable experience, at any rate, because it was the closest I have ever come to kicking the bucket. If anyone wonders what became of me, by the way, I have moved to the Middle East; if I get around to it I might write and send in a few more articles that recount the experiences I am having in this new and very interesting phase of my life.\n<p>Anyone who read my fishing articles previously would remember me speaking fondly of Lake Sirikit, and the great times I had out there heading around on my long-tailed boat. This remains my favourite place in Thailand, and camping out on the lake my favourite pursuit; it had reached the time of year in Thailand when the rains are due to begin, and when Ajarn Matt takes his annual holiday. Around, I think, the end of April. I decided that I would take my wife, who had never been camping, and who was by no means at that time an outdoorsy sort of person, on a two week expedition out onto the reservoir where we would head far from human habitation, and try our luck at exploring some previously uncharted waters. I went to Friday\'s department store and spent a fortune on new camping gear, so that my wife would be less likely to complain and want to come home once we entered the thick of nature; we drove to the dam, I loaded all the gear onto the boat, and we embarked on our adventure.</p>\n<p>The afternoon we left was the most glorious sort of afternoon it is possible to imagine. There was not a cloud in the sky, there was not a breath of wind blowing, and the whole scene was illuminated by sunlight that was so golden that it seemed we were leaving the world of human beings altogether, and entering a painting. We crossed the first expanse of lake, which took a couple of hours, and entered a gap that, as we approached the far side, was revealed between the mountains; we putted down this for a while until, to my surprise, the lake opened up again, or until we saw before us a secondary body of water that was even larger than the one from which we had come. This one had forest growing thickly right down to the water\'s edge, and from what we could see, or for as far as we could see, it was uninhabited by human beings; there were no cleared lands, or grazing or rice-growing areas, there were no houses visible around the shoreline. And, while for all we knew there could have been a vast metropolis on the other side of this part of the lake, our impression of being completely isolated from the world of people was unchallenged by the possibility, because it was so far away that we were unable to make out anything on the shoreline anyway. It was sort of hazy in that direction, the landforms only became discernible as they gained altitude, all we could see were the tops of some forested hills and mountains.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, at this entrance into paradise, there were a couple of very inviting islands. While the lake &lsquo;narrowed\' at this point, to become the passage through which we had passed, these islands were still a considerable distance from the shore on either side; they were slap-bang in the middle of the entrance, and it probably would have taken twenty minutes or so to motor over to the bank both ways. We did a quick circumnavigation of the archipelago in order to choose the most inviting atoll; the water at that time of year is very low, and as I have described previously, on account of this the only trees and bushes they sported were right at their apex, the remainder of their slopes were blanketed in a very appealing lawn of grass. Our only company on said islets, moreover, was a lone plover which must have had its nest somewhere on the grass. As it was complaining loudly - not to mention because plovers swat you on the head if you go near their nest - the choice of camping grounds was easy, I chose the island furthest away from where it seemed to be hanging around. I moored the boat to a few dead tress that were sticking out of the water, I carted all the new chairs, and sleeping bags, and mattresses, and tent (and kitchen sink and so on) up onto a fairly level plateau, and as the sun set on the most pristine evening imaginable I made a veritably palatial residence for us to occupy. I also took the opportunity to head once around the island with my lure, and to catch a few fat jungle perch and snakeheads for our dinner.</p>\n<p>We had a great evening barbecuing our fish, and exposing our ears to the complete absence of the sound of any students; as I have described previously, mosquitoes and other insects simply cannot make it out onto the islands in Sirikit that are far removed from land, there was nary a thing to jeopardise the peacefulness of our existence. Such was the ambience of the conditions we even took a bit of a nine o\'clock skinny dip, at which point my wife decided to retire for the night; I drew up a seat, relaxed in it, and retreated into the world of my own thoughts (and those of you who know me would know what I mean, yes Ajarns Howard and Craig, it was great). By around midnight I too was ready to retreat into my nest, my head was falling onto my chest; however, just as I reached the point of no return, I was surprised to hear a noise that sounded suspiciously like thunder. With some effort I forced my eyelids fully open, and strained my eye bulbs to see into the distance; yes, there it was, I heard it again, and this time I could see some sort of flashing light on the horizon. My first thought was that there was some fracas going on with the army, when I had come to school in Thailand as a kid there was always shelling of Thailand by Cambodia, and vice versa, taking place along the border, this is what it looked and sounded like was happening at that moment. As I watched more, however, I realized that what I could actually see on the border of Laos was an electrical storm, lightning was arcing up from the ground in a very intensive sort of way. If you have seen that movie Big Trouble in Little China, I could see lightning crackling the same way it did from the hands of the guy in the old straw hat, or like it does from Tesla\'s machine in that movie The Prestige; I was not really anything more than casually curious however, because the storm looked like it was at least a couple of hundred kilometers away.</p>\n<p>You guessed it but, in about twenty minutes the storm that a moment ago was nothing more than a very insignificant threat had covered half the distance between us, and could most clearly be seen to be heading in specifically my direction. I was kind of getting worried, but I looked around at the elaborate campsite I had set up, and at my sleeping wife inside the tent; when I looked into the sky, there was still not a cloud above me, and so I though before I go into panic mode, I will give things just a moment and see if things were really going to be inclement. Which was certainly the worst choice I ever made in life; by the time another twenty minutes had passed, I could see clouds materialising out of nowhere in the sky above my head - actually nebulising, that is, and conjoining with one another to blot out the moon and stars - and the lightning was close enough to no longer simply be seen as flashes of illumination, but rather for me to see crystal clearly the arcing of every bolt. Never, either, had I ever seen, and have I ever seen, such an acute display of electrical activity; bolts were storming up out of the ground with such intensity that the night was no longer black, not even intermittently, it seemed that there were about twenty bolts searing into the clouds at any given moment. At the same time I made the grim realization that there was no point in getting in the boat and trying to make it to land, because I would most definitely be caught out on the water, the first breath of rain-moistened wind ruffled my hair; &lsquo;darling\', I said, &lsquo;you better wake up, I think we\'re going to cop a bit of a storm.\'</p>\n<p>Five minutes after that it was upon us. A wind came that immediately blew near every bit of camping gear I owned into the lake, and that instantly flattened the tent. At the same time, rain that was coming down in drops as big as your fist - or that was coming sideways at us, as it was driven by the wind - battered into us, it tore my shirt off my back, leaving me standing there in a pair of shorts. A barrage of lightning also could be seen on the shore opposite, in the direction of the storm, very rapidly heading towards us; with no more ado my wife and I hid in the tent, which was already filled with two inches of mud, and tried to wrap its shreds around us. So strong was the wind that it lifted us off the ground at times, and threw us into bushes; we could barely hang onto the tent fabric, it was only sheer fright that lent us the power. I did not want to look outside, but such was the intensity of the sound and light from the pyrotechnic display that was now taking place around us we knew that lightning was bursting forth from the very island on which we were camping. Not intermittently, again, but at least once a minute. I was absolutely petrified, and I cannot begin to imagine how my poor wife must have been feeling; we said our goodbyes to one another, it might seem silly in retrospect to have done this, but such was the frightening savagery of what was happening it seemed that surely we must perish. If we were not barbecued by lightning, the concern was that the lake would rise and inundate our island.</p>\n<p>With this ghastly prospect in mind, I knew I had to stiffen my resolve, and leave the &lsquo;sanctuary\' of the tent to go and check on the boat. If the boat was lost, and the water did rise up, all was lost - even if the storm disappeared, it was going to be a long swim to the shoreline and then a very long hike to find someone to rescue us. I told my wife to hang tight for a sec - she was practically turned to stone anyway, we were both terrified and shivering violently with the cold - and emerged into the elements; such a sight I have never seen, it was absolutely terrible. One of the large trees that was growing on our island tore out of the ground in front of my very eyes, and whisked into the lake, narrowly missing our location in the process. Massive bolts of lightning were arcing up out of every island around us, and from the mainland, and, to give substance to our fears, from the top of the island on which we were presently stranded. I could smell a terrible smell of ozone, and could feel the electricity in the air on my scalp and with my skin.</p>\n<p>There was nothing for it, but, I had to grit my teeth and go to the boat. I went to the edge of the island, where previously I had moored it; luckily, I had moored it on the leeward side of the storm, else it would have been smashed for sure, there were storm waves being driven onto the windward side of the island that were very ugly indeed. This did not cheer me any, however, for the simple reason that, while there was no lack of illumination from the lightning, my boat could not be seen; I headed to the tree where I had tethered the front of the boat, to find nothing but a piece of broken rope. With my heart in my mouth, I felt around at the edge of the lake where I had moored the boat aft - thank God, there was the stake in the ground still, and a promisingly taut piece of rope. I pulled on it, and squinted into the rain; hooray, there was the boat! Albeit that the wind had blown it clean upside down, with the resultant loss of everything in there, including all my precious fishing gear. Even worse, when I pulled it near to shore, I discovered the motor had fallen off the boat as well; I was now faced with an even grimmer task, with no motor and now no paddle it would be a dreadful trip all the way back to my car, and therefore I could not leave the engine soaking in the water. My only choice was to enter the dreadful snarl of dead trees and hideously twisted roots and stumps where I had tied up, and begin diving for my engine.</p>\n<p>I gingerly felt everywhere I could where the water was shallow enough for me to not have to immerse my head, using my feet. As the reader might guess, nothing, this island rose very steeply out of the water, and the motor was somewhere out of reach. I knew it was somewhere in the arc described by the back of the boat when I swung it around on the one piece of rope that had held; let me not forget to mention either that all the while this searching was going on, more trees were being torn out of the ground, blinding rain was just about beating me to my knees, and I was in constant danger of being electrocuted. I held my breath, and used the boat to push myself under water, and to come up into (it was upside down, remember) to get the necessary breaths of air (it was so rainy I could hardly breathe without this canopy); I walked the arc of the rope at different distances defined by where on the boat I grabbed it, right until I was holding on to the very back of it. By that time, my feet could hardly touch the bottom, and still I could not locate that bloody piece of machinery. I was semi-drowned by this stage as well, from holding my breath and repeatedly exerting myself underwater; the air trapped inside the boat was getting very stale and nasty, so I decided to risk my head in the storm again before I took the awful plunge.</p>\n<p>When I emerged again into the storm, I saw a very awesome thing. I was looking into the black sky, and I saw in the night above our island some patches of phosphorescence forming. No sooner had I had the time to wonder what this fairy floss like substance could be than it rapidly joined together in clumps; suddenly, electricity arced through it, it became a massive bolt of lightning, what I could actually see was the plasma forming prior to the release of the strike. Nature\'s wonders were of little interest to me at this point, however, especially seen this close up; with a haste inspired by fear I drew a deep breath, and dove down into the water. All sorts of horrible roots and weeds and things poked me in the face as I blindly groped around for the motor; finally, after about twenty minutes of diving in again and again, and just when I thought I was surely going to expire - finally, when I had just about given up, when I was at the absolute limit of how deep I was actually able to dive - my hand touched the end of the propeller. I was just about out of air, but there was no way I was going to let it go; with a strength born of desperation I used the weight of the motor to hold me to the bottom, and like a feisty crab dragged it out of the lake\'s clutches and back into shallow water. I staggered up onto the bank, absolutely spent by this most fearsome task of my life; I put the motor safely out of harm\'s way, and went to join my wife miserably in the tent.</p>\n<p>Usually, an electrical storm, a convection storm like this one, is a brief affair, that spends its ferocity in an hour or so of very intense buffeting. Certainly, I hoped it would be the case with this one, because it was the worst experience of my life. This particular weather event, however - my Thai friends were to later tell me I &lsquo;hit the jackpot\' - just kept raging, and actually seemed to intensify every time we thought that things might quieten down; eventually, because I was so cold in just my shorts, and because we were so terrified - after about four hours of torture, and great anxiety that the water would rise up (which it only did a couple of inches, of course, it is a big lake) - my wife and I just sort of passed out, or fell into a sort of semi-coma. The next thing I knew, I felt baking, steaming hot; I opened my eyes, and clawed my way out of our tent shroud, to discover that the storm had finally dissipated, and that we were being blasted by full sunlight on an absolutely cloudless day. I coaxed my wife back to consciousness, and we set about the disheartening task of picking up the pieces.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, most of the stuff had blown into the water in the lee of the island, and had sunk in the shallows, where I was able to recover it; the camp chairs, lamp and boat paddle had gone, but all the cooking stuff, the esky, the clothes, and much of my fishing gear was able to be recovered. Our tent and new sleeping bags and so on were absolutely ruined, they were saturated with muddy water to the point that even the homeless would think twice about trying to salvage and re-use them; the boat motor, too, was full of mud and water, and was fairly knocked around from its descent into the lake. Luckily, I had brought my tools, and I set to pulling it apart; a couple of hours work removed the worst of the muck and gravel, and I was able to start it. My wife and I did not even discuss the possibility of extending our vacation; we just packed everything we had been able to recover back into the boat - I still had not slept since the night before the storm - and began motoring back to the vehicle. When it was thrown into the lake, the &lsquo;bearing\' on the end of the long-tail (it is actually just a piece of wood) shaft had broken, and so I was only able to operate the motor at idle speed; still, we were under way, for which I was extremely grateful, and we slowly and painfully made our way back to where I had parked the car. When we reached the village, I tried to recount to the Thai people there the dreadfulness of our experience; they told me, however, that just this few kilometers away, or on their side of the mountains, there had been no wind or lightning, just a brief bout of blinding rain. They laughed my experience off as the exaggerations of an easily frightened foreigner.</p>\n<p>Later, though, I told the story to one of my old fishing friends, and he was able to truly empathise with my experience. He told me that as a young man, his friends towed him to that part of the lake in a little fishing raft, and that such a storm came. He said his raft was torn apart, and that his friend and him were left clinging to a single piece of bamboo together being tossed around by storm swells for hours, not knowing which way was which, or where the shore was to go to, in the pitch darkness; I felt somewhat mollified that there was at least one person who believed me. My wife and I apparently made the local news as well, so perhaps the people at the village did know more about our experience than they were letting on, they were the only grapevine through which the story could have travelled. I have since heard stories, too, of much larger steel vessels, the ferries and so forth they use on the lake, being caught out, and capsizing with loss of all that were on board.</p>\n<p>One thing is for sure, lakes can be more dangerous than one imagines, they are not to be trifled with. One needs to check the weather before one heads out on an adventure.</p>\n</p>','','2010-07-01 07:07:26',1,'2010-07-01 07:07:26','2010-07-01 21:09:27'),(1841,53,'Expatriates, higher education and globalization','expatriates-higher-education-and-globalization','Trends and opportunities in higher education','If one can speak, read and write Thai at the level needed to study at a university, there are an abundance of educational opportunities available locally. ','<p>Living and working in a foreign country can be a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional growth. Living abroad can allow one to learn about a foreign culture, and by reflection one is likely to understand one\'s own culture better as well. Also, being an expatriate provides a fantastic opportunity for acquiring and practicing a foreign language. Additionally, in many cases increased responsibility and authority comes with an expatriate assignment allowing for accelerated professional growth. However having access to formal higher educational opportunities has not normally been associated with being part of the international workforce; but due to globalization and technological advances, times are changing.\n<p>In the past, higher education was mostly seen as being reserved for people coming out of high school or those with intent on pursuing an academic career. However, recent trends show a huge increase in attendance at institutions of higher learning by adults. Chances are people many of us will be competing with for jobs and promotions in the future are currently furthering their education. These days, one can often earn additional educational qualifications without quitting one\'s job, resulting in a higher percent of the population acquiring advanced degrees. Expatriates do not have to be left behind as they also have access to higher education. In Thailand, expatriates have the option of either studying locally or through distance education.</p>\n<h3>Higher Education in Thailand</h3>\n<p>If one can speak, read and write Thai at the level needed to study at a university, there are an abundance of educational opportunities available locally. But even if one is not fluent in Thai, there are a number of programs taught in English one can attend. Universities with undergraduate and graduate degree programs taught in English include Assumption, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chulalongkorn, Kasetsart, Mahidol, Khon Kaen, Stamford International, and Thammasat Universities. While the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) and Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) offer only graduate programs. This is by no means an exhaustive list, there are numerous other higher educational programs taught in English within the country. An Internet search should provide more detailed and up to date information on international educational programs at the various universities in Thailand.</p>\n<p>In years past, the vast major of the international programs at Thai universities were in the field of business, but that has changed. Today there are numerous international programs in fields as diverse as agricultural science and development studies and can be found at the bachelor, masters and doctoral levels. There are a variety of international programs offered by universities in Thailand, some which focus on full-time students and are taught during the day while other target working adults and are taught in the evenings and on weekends.</p>\n<p>There are a number of advantages in attending higher education in a traditional classroom setting. First off, the mode of instruction is quite familiar to most individuals. The majority of international higher education programs in Thailand are patterned after programs in the USA and UK and most programs have linkages with a number of universities outside of Thailand. In general, degrees from Thai universities are recognized worldwide; one can easily get into a masters degree program anywhere in the world with a bachelor\'s degree from a Thai university, assuming all the other conditions are met.</p>\n<p>Arguably the best reason to study in a Thai university is for the cross-cultural experience. Students from Thailand and other parts of Asia often study in foreign countries and having this foreign exposure is considered a very valuable experience and not surprisingly a high percentage of Asian leaders in business, politics and academia have had some education at foreign universities. As Asia is becoming an increasing important region in the global economy, having foreign educational experience in Asia may give individuals from outside the region an edge in acquiring high-paid internationally focused positions in the future.</p>\n<p>And one should not forget studying with colleagues from different cultures can be both fun and an opportunity for personal growth. It would not be surprising if students found themselves doing a group project with fellow students from 3 or 4 different countries while studying at an international program at a Thai university. As opposed to distance education, attending a &lsquo;real\" classroom requires face to face communication, with both instructors and fellow students, which is known as a far richer communication channel which for many individuals helps facilitate the learning process.</p>\n<p>As well as looking at the upside, one should also consider the downside of attending a Thai university. Despite the lack of open racism and all the rhetoric about globalization found in the world today, there remains in much of the populations of Western countries the belief that \"West is best.\" Education from Asia, especially a developing nation of Asia such as Thailand, will be viewed by some individuals as automatically inferior to the education one would gain in a Western context. I referred to this belief as the \"Colonial Paradigm\" in a book that I wrote which came out in 2008. This practice of placing education and business practices on a hierarchy based on nation of origin that arose during the colonial era continues today and this worldview is often reinforced by movies, classical literature, the news media and even educational systems. In an ideal world, the nationality of the university should not matter, in fact the top Thai universities have achieved international rankings and reputations, which is quite amazing considered the overall level of economic development of the country, however we do not live in an ideal world and attending a Thai university could be looked down upon by some potential employers, limiting the financial value of a degree from a Thai institute.</p>\n<p>There are some other factors to consider as well. In comparison the US system, Thai universities do not generally encourage the transferring of students from one institution to another and therefore if one has already completed a considerable portion of a higher education degree elsewhere; it may be quite difficult to transfer credits. Also, it should be remembered that the majority of students in these international programs at Thai universities will be using English as a second language. This often results in the courses preceding at a slightly slower pace that would be the norm at a comparable program in a university located in a country where English in the native language. Having worked at a number of international universities, I am constantly amazed at the ability of so many students to study at the university level in a foreign language; although I have spent many years studying Thai, my skills are far below that which would be needed to study at the university level in that language. Nevertheless, this slower pace may at times be frustrating to a native speaker of English.</p>\n<p>Many Thai universities have opened up international programs in recent years. This has resulted in there generally being more seats available in international programs in the country than there are students with the language skills needed to study successfully in English at the university level. This is not meant as a criticism of Thai universities; in fact Thailand has a very high percentage of programs taught in a foreign language which would seem to be helpful in preparing a workforce to compete in the increasingly internationally connected environment expected in the future. How many universities in the USA, UK, Canada or Australia have programs taught entirely in a foreign language aimed at preparing students to work internationally? Because of the abundance of international programs taught in English in the country, some schools, especially the less glamorous ones, have had to loosely implement admission requirement about language ability in order to get their international programs up and running; it is expected this \"problem\" will lessen over time as English education in the primary and secondary schools in the country continues to advance. Being a university instructor myself, this abundance of international programs creates many employment opportunities, however from the perspective of a student who is a native speaker of English; this could be an issue as it creates some difficulties for some of the schools in maintaining quality.</p>\n<h3>Distance and Online Education</h3>\n<p>Another option for expatriates is to take advantage of the multiple distant educational options available. There are many options in getting an accredited degree \"online.\" In the USA, there are many options, some of which are from institutions that primarily focus on online education (e.g., Capella University, University of Phoenix and Walden University), while there are also a number of \"bricks and mortar\" schools that have online programs. It appears there are a growing number of universities in the UK that are adding online course to their curriculum, including the University of Liverpool,but it does not appear one can study at the Open University while living in Thailand at the present time, although this option is available for individuals living in some other countries. However, apparently one can study with Australia\'s Open University \"anywhere in the world.\" There are also online programs available from universities in Malaysia, South Africa and a growing number of other countries.</p>\n<p>There are a number of advantages to choosing the distance education option. First off, one can earn a degree that is accredited and recognized by the government or other accrediting body in one\'s home country. Also, it is much easier to transfer existing credits earned in one\'s home country to another university in the same country as opposed to a university in Thailand or other foreign country. Also, it can be a nice way to keep connected with the professional trends happening \"back home,\" this can be especially important for expatriates who are in Thailand for a temporary stay and intend to continue their career upon repatriation. Also, studying in a university from one\'s own country reduces the \"culture shock\" that will accompany enrolling in a foreign university.</p>\n<p>There are also a number of downsides to studying online. First off, there is no face to face communication with either instructors or other students, which can result in creating an impersonal feel to the education. Also, there can be a lack of outside motivators for the student. Studies show drop out rates in online courses are very high, and this is often attributed to the student\'s lack of ability to be self-motivated. After a hard day at work, it requires a high level of discipline and motivation to resist the temptation to relax in front of the TV and instead read a textbook and engage in online discussions on a variety of topics. Also, students will have to learn to study using different methods. Lectures are uncommon in online education, instead the focus is on reading, using online discussions boards, and generally having to complete far more assignments than is the norm in a more traditional classroom setting.</p>\n<p>There is often an impression by those who have never been involved in distance education that it is inferior to more traditional forms of education. Often an \"online degree\" is mistakenly associated with a fake degree bought online through a diploma mill. While it is very important to ensure an online program one enrols in is fully accredited, many employers in the general population may not understand the accreditation process and could discriminate against applicants with online degrees. While much of the looking down one\'s nose on online education can be attributed to snobbery, as online education is mostly targeted to working class people in much the same way \"night school\" was in the past, a case can also be made that the behaviour and practices of some of the online universities have contributed to the poor image online education has in some circles. While it does appear as online education becomes more common it will become more accepted, there will most likely continue to be some opposition to acceptance of this form of education, particular in academia by many scholars who earned their degrees in a more traditional manner.</p>\n<h3>Quality Education</h3>\n<p>I have personally been involved in non-traditional education as both an instructor and as a student. I earned my Bachelor Degree from a branch of an American university in Japan, My MBA was earned at a Thai University and I earned my Ph.D. while living in Thailand by distance education with a fully accredited American University. Has my non-traditional education been as \"good\" as the education most more-traditional scholars received? I have no answer for that, however I do know having access to non-traditional education has transformed my life in a positive manner and since a more traditional educational route was no possibly due to living abroad, I do not for one minute regret pursuing further education by non-traditional means. I have been involved in non-traditional education from the standpoint of an instructor as well. I have taught at a number of branches of Western universities in Asia as well as in a number of international programs at Thai Universities. Furthermore, I have taught online for US and UK universities. From my perspective, online education is different from more traditional education, not better or worse, just different in the same way ice cream is different from pizza, but not necessarily better or worse.</p>\n<p>Is non-traditional education, \"good education?\" The answer may depend on how \"good education\" is defined. Should education be judged solely by the hard skills one gains, such as being capable of memorizing facts, using a specific computer programming language or to correctly come up with the bottom line using the latest accounting techniques? Or do the soft skills, such as learning to work with people from different cultural environments which can come from studying at a foreign university or acquiring time management and self-motivation skills that come from acquiring an online degree, count for something as well? \"Good\" is a relative term and the right educational choices for different individuals will likely vary greatly.</p>\n<p>I suppose most would agree, that being able to get a post-graduate degree from one of the world\'s elite university such as Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, University of Melbourne or Stanford would be ideal for career advancement, but not every individual has the same opportunities. The statement I wish I never went to university or earned a graduate degree is rarely heard; implying most people think having more education is preferable to having less. In reality, a degree is nothing but a piece of paper, and while the name of the university on that piece of paper can open some doors, what really matters for success in the long term is what you have learned, not where you learned it.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Living abroad may not allow one to follow a more traditional educational route, but with the abundance of non-traditional options, one does not have to abandon one\'s educational dreams in order to live the expatriate life.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2010-07-03 19:38:51',1,'2010-07-03 19:38:51','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1843,4,'My dinner with Ning','my-dinner-with-ning','A call for traditionalists in the classroom ','We were an unlikely pair.  Me, a 51 year old Canadian English teacher who is jaded, cynical, and has had more negative experiences with Asian women than I care to admit; and her, a 31 year old Thai Science teacher who, in my opinion, is looking for a foreign status symbol.  ','<p>We were an unlikely pair. Me, a 51 year old Canadian English teacher who is jaded, cynical, and has had more negative experiences with Asian women than I care to admit; and her, a 31 year old Thai Science teacher who, in my opinion, is looking for a foreign status symbol. Admittedly, Ning is physically striking. With her trademark long black hair, oriental eyes, and a dazzling smile, she could easily pass for a model. Psychologically, however, she\'s a mess; like so many Southeast Asian women I\'ve met. Then again, I\'m also a mess.</p>\n<p>We went to MK, a family style restaurant which caters to the new Thai middle-class. I was fine with that because it was only a five minute walk from my apartment. We dined on roasted duck, crispy pork, and mixed vegetables which we boiled at our table. It was our first date; or second if you count \"pizza night\" with two fellow teachers and the Director of Studies at my school. It would be our last date. I am not looking for a girlfriend or a wife. Not any more. I am looking for something much more than that. I am looking for a hero and a role-model. I got the feeling throughout our conversation that she is looking only for a foreign plaything to increase her status in the eyes of others. TIT! No not the female mammary gland. It\'s an acronym. It stands for \"This is Thailand.\" It\'s a common refrain used by us \"farangs\" (foreigners) whenever we don\'t understand what\'s going on in Thailand, which is quite often.</p>\n<p>Ning called me the night before almost in a panic. I was in my room. \"I want be friends with you\", she said in broken English. \"Why you want know me? I want only be friends with you.\"</p>\n<p>\"Okay Ning, that\'s great. I want to be friends with you too. That\'s why I want to know you. That\'s why I want to talk with you. School is a good place to see each other, but we can\'t talk openly there. We\'ll talk more when we meet.\" She seemed relieved at that. We met for dinner the following night.</p>\n<p>I came armed. Yes I pack heat; especially on a first date and especially with a Thai woman. I brought pictures of my late mother and I intended on showing them to her one by one. Those who read my last blog posted in May know that it was a tribute to my mother who passed away almost two years ago. I showed Ning the photos. I told her the story of how, while I was home two summers ago watching my mother die, my ex-girlfriend from the Philippines cheated on me with another foreigner. I told her about how another Filipina ex-girlfriend ignored my pain and sorrow for 10 months while I mourned my mother. I told her how these experiences have changed me in ways I have yet to fully realize. I told Ning that I am more cynical than she can imagine. And I told her something else. I told her that if she wanted to be friends with me, then she had to show me something. She had to show me how brilliant she was. She had to give me hope.</p>\n<p>So show me how brilliant you are, Ning. Show me that you\'re different. Show me that you are not like so many of the other Thai women. That\'s why I came here tonight. I need hope; I need you to give me hope. I had to stop there because I thought I saw tears forming in her eyes. I was surprised that tears did not form in my eyes. They usually do when I speak of my mother.</p>\n<p>\"You really love your mother\", she said to me between bites of crispy pork. \"I can see by photos.\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes I do\", was all I could say.</p>\n<p>Then Ning told me something which made me realize that she wasn\'t different from the others. \"I think I have boyfriend.\"</p>\n<p>\"You think you have boyfriend? You mean you don\'t know?\"</p>\n<p>\"I chat with someone now. Here.\" She took out her cell phone and showed me a picture of a man.</p>\n<p>\"Very nice\", I said giving her back the phone. \"Congratulations. He doesn\'t look Thai.\"</p>\n<p>\"He\'s not. He\'s from Turkey.\"</p>\n<p>\"Turkey! Have you ever been there?\"</p>\n<p>\"No. I chat with him now six months on Internet. He has two daughters. He says he is divorced, but I don\'t know.\"</p>\n<p>Okay, stop! Please stop! I\'ve been down this road before and I don\'t like it. So STOP!!! That\'s what I was thinking, but I never said it. She sensed my mood and asked, \"Are you angry?\"</p>\n<p>What I said went something like this. \"No I\'m not angry. I\'m disappointed. I was hoping that you were different from the other women, but I can see you\'re not. You\'re just as stupid. Part of showing me how brilliant you are would have been to love and marry a Thai man: to sacrifice, to share your love and traditions with a Thai man. That\'s showing me how different you are.\"</p>\n<p>She shook her head almost violently. And then she said it; something I had been dreading. \"No, no. I hate Thai man!\"</p>\n<p>I hate Thai man? I hate Thai man! Those four words did it for me. I heard those same words in from Filipinas, except that the word Thai is replaced with Filipino. Those four words mean more than anyone can ever realize. Those four words say so much about Thai women and it\'s not very good.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong. I couldn\'t care less who Ning, or any other Thai woman, chooses to go out with or sleep with. But to me, Thai women or Filipinas who claim to hate their own are urinating on their own flag. Fine it\'s their flag, but don\'t tell me how much you love your country from one side of your mouth then say how much you hate your own men from the other side. Your fake love for foreigners shines through all that hypocrisy.</p>\n<p>Another thing about that four word quip, \"I hate Thai man.\" Ning, and so many others like her who share those sentiments, are certainly not role models. How can anyone, who claims to hate half the population of her own nation, be deemed fit to teach the children of her nation? She is not a role model.</p>\n<p>The classrooms of this nation, and nations everywhere, need teachers who embrace their own people, culture, and traditions. They need teachers who roll up their sleeves and get to work for the future of their nation.</p>\n<p>There is a not so subtle power play going on at my school at the moment. Apparently it has been going on for quite a while. In the MEFL program, (Mahathai English for Life), the foreign teachers write the exams which the students will take; both the mid-term and final exams. According to the Director of Studies of the MEFL program, a foreigner himself, the Thai English teachers must assist us by contributing the reading portion of the exams. But wouldn\'t you know it? The Thai English teachers have decided to write their own English exams which they had planned to give to the students. They claimed to have been given the order by a Thai woman who works \"downstairs\", and who thinks that it is SHE who runs the MEFL program.</p>\n<p>I\'ve seen these power plays between foreigners and Thais before, and I\'ve been witness to them in others schools and in other countries as well. In each and every one of those power plays, it never ended well for the foreigner. Power plays are never pretty things. I may not know much about Thai culture, but human nature is my bailiwick. Every human organization, and this is especially true for schools, employs far too many chiefs and not enough Indians. There are never enough Indians for schools, especially in Thailand. This I know about Thais: Any foreign school supervisor or Director of Studies, who pushes a Thai too far in their own backyard and in front of other Thais, runs the risk of never being seen or heard from again. Just about every Thai I have ever met knows someone, or knows someone who knows someone, who can \"take care\" of an overbearing foreigner. And all it takes is one phone call. His meat will be fed to the rabid alley dogs and his bones will be thrown into the pigpen. No one will ever know what happened to him. That is why I teach my classes, then go directly home afterwards to eat and watch FOX news. At 51, I value my meat and bones.</p>\n<p>I am willing to bet that the Thai English teachers have not given up on their goal of administering their own exams. Not because they actually care about the students, but because they love to play with foreigners, particularly with their hearts and heads. It\'s a sick and perverted dance that foreign teachers and supervisors here have no chance of perfecting.</p>\n<p>It\'s not just a game for the Thais; it\'s a war. And you don\'t have to go to Pattaya or Patpong to see all the damage this war has caused and continues to cause. The Vietnam War was the best thing that has ever happened to Thailand; and the worst thing as well. While Ho Chi Min and Pol Pot were waging their wars, Thailand happily decided to join the human fray. She opened her arms and spread her legs for the American GI\'s. She became, in the words of Lawrence Osborne in his book \"Bangkok Days\", a country of \"Slutty Cinderella\'s.\"</p>\n<p>Lawrence Osborne puts the number of prostitutes in Thailand at around 200,000. Really? I must have misread that. I think he omitted a zero. I thought I saw 200,000 hookers one night just in Nana Plaza! NGO\'s put the number of prostitutes and bargirls in Thailand at around two million, and in a study from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok puts the number closer to 2.8 million. Who knows? Either way, there are a lot of hookers here in a country of 65 million. And a lot of bargirl sympathizers. Where are the good girls marching on the streets here with placards loudly screaming \"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE ARE NOT ALL LIKE THAT! WE DON\'T LIKE THE BAR GIRLS. WE ARE THE GOOD GIRLS. LOOK AT US!\" Am I missing the parade? I don\'t see them anywhere. <br /><br />It\'s not just Thailand. It\'s the Philippines too. This from the Philippine Inquirer:</p>\n<p><strong>500,000 Filipino Mail-Order Brides Worry Villar</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Websites promoting marital match to be probed too</strong></p>\n<p>By Veronica Uy<br />Inquirer.net First posted 16:18:00 08/31/2007.</p>\n<p>Filed Under: Internet, crime, laws, relationships and dating.</p>\n<p>MANILA, Philippines --- Despite a law banning mail-order marriages about 300,000 to half a million Filipino mail-order brides continue to leave the country each year and Senate President Many Villar wants this investigated.</p>\n<p>Three hundred thousand to half a million Internet cyber-brides leave the Philippines every year? Did I read that right? Many of these mail-order brides are professionals: Like nurses and teachers. Where are the role models? Where are the good women standing up and shouting, \"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! STOP SELLING OUT TO THE FOREIGNERS! WE ARE NOT REALLY LIKE THAT!\"</p>\n<p>We are not really like that? Okay, prove it. Show the world how brilliant you are. Stop cheering from the sidelines every time another stupid foreign man gets screwed. Show the world that you are able and willing to sacrifice for the country you claim to love, and stop using foreign men as little more than an insurance policy. No one is entitled to the white man\'s money. This feeling of entitlement to the money of foreigners is what is causing once proud Southeast Asian nations to turn into cultures of dependence.</p>\n<p>A wise man once said that you can run towards something or you can run away from something. Beware of the man (and woman) who spends their time running away from something. They are also running away from the one thing that that will make them fully human: Responsibility; and within that responsibility lies the willingness to perpetuate and enjoy your traditions. Yes beware of the Thai and Filipino woman going after foreigners. It\'s not that they are running towards foreign men; rather, they are running AWAY from their own men. They are running away from their own history, their own traditions; their own way of life. They are running away from responsibility.</p>\n<p>What in the world does a Buddhist woman from Isaan have in common with a Muslim man from Istanbul? And does anybody in their right mind really think that a Filipina from the Island of Samar will live happily-ever-after with Lars from Helsinki? It\'s insane. The Internet is full of horror stories, not to mention some really good murder mysteries, concerning desperate and self-centered Southeast Asian women and their sick, horny and equally self-centered foreign husbands. It makes for interesting reading. (Some of my favorites are of the poor Vietnamese farm girls who are bought by Korean men, then taken to Daegu or Seoul or Busan only to have the shit knocked out of them night after night by their new \"Prince Charmings\" drunk on soju.)</p>\n<p>It\'s neither the women nor the men which concerns me here. (In the end, we deserve what we get and get what we deserve.) It\'s the children. It\'s always the children who suffer the most from these pathological unions. Since the Vietnam War, Southeast Asia has become a huge orphanage and a graveyard for hundreds of thousands of neglected and abandoned children. These fatherless or motherless half-breeds never asked to be born. Many of these children will be added to the 100 million others around the world who will never see the inside of a classroom. And others still will be forced to stop their schooling at 14 and led to the infamous red-light districts to contribute to the &lsquo;family fortune.\' As an educator, this is where my concern lies.</p>\n<p>For the record, I\'m not against so called \"mixed marriages.\" But having changed into a stark realist and pragmatic in my thoughts of matters of the heart, it just doesn\'t seem to work most of the time. And when it ends, it ends ugly. Those exceptional few who have made it work have the added responsibility of letting others know how they did it.</p>\n<p>Sitting opposite Ning that night, I wanted to scream. I wanted to yell out, \"TAKE THE F***ING WAR PAINT OFF!!! STOP THIS F***ING WAR!!!\" She didn\'t want to be friends with me. Ning has not a clue what true friendship is. She was trying to use me as her backup boy just in case it didn\'t work out with Mustafa from Istanbul, or Mike from Manchester, or Hans from Hamburg. And I wouldn\'t let her. I was on to her. I knew her game. \"SHOW ME HOW BRILLIANT YOU ARE!!! SHOW ME THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT!!!\" But she never did. She doesn\'t have to. Not in a country where 15 million foreigners come here every year just to get laid. There\'s no incentive to show your brilliance, no impetus to prove your uniqueness when there are 15 million stupid foreigners here to choose from. And if none of those 15 million happens to turn your crank, then there are always the Internet chat rooms.</p>\n<p>It\'s a war without end. But through all this anger, I do realize that the Thai and Filipino women have declared war not only on the poor foreign sap. The much larger war is against their men; their own kind; their own flesh and blood. Thai and Filipino women are using foreign men as a challenge to their own men. By having dinner with me, by taking my hand, by kissing me, and by having meaningless sex with me, they are telling their men,</p>\n<p>\"Hey you lazy good-for-nothings get off your motorbikes and get a job! Start making some real money because if you don\'t, I will give myself away to the foreigner.\" Let there be no doubt that once Southeast Asian men develop a genuine and long lasting work ethic with a bank account to match, their women will flock back to them as quickly as they left.</p>\n<p>\"My family always asks me when I marry\", Ning told me that night. \"I always say tomorrow, tomorrow. But I don\'t care. My family is most important to me.\"</p>\n<p>Now she was talking. Now we were getting to the heart of the matter. I gently patted the envelope of family pictures I brought with me. \"My family is also the most important thing to me too. They are all I have left.\" Memories and the past; they\'re all I have left. Then I realized it. This is the crux of the matter. It\'s not just your money that some of these women want to separate you from. It\'s your memories; your past; your history; your traditions.</p>\n<p>I remember my last two girlfriends who, after I talked about my family and traditions and history kept telling me \"Oh that\'s the past.\" This is another common four word refrain from those who see you as nothing more than their future meal ticket. Don\'t talk about your past, your history, and your traditions; just support my family and my village you fat foreign bastard!</p>\n<p>What is tradition? What is a traditionalist, and what does he believe in? In his book \"Orthodoxy: The Romance of Faith\", British philosopher Gilbert Keith Chesterton explains,</p>\n<p>\"Tradition may be defined as an extension of the franchise. Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about. All democrats object to men being disqualified by the accident of birth: Tradition objects to their being disqualified by the accident of death. Democracy tells us not to neglect, a good man\'s opinion, even if he is our groom; tradition asks us not to neglect a good man\'s opinion, even if he is our father.\" (Quoted from \"The Digital Pandemic: Reestablishing Face-to-Face Contact in the Electronic age.\" Mack R. Hicks, Ph.D. New Horizon Press, 2010, page 66.)</p>\n<p>ESPECIALLY if he is our father! If there is a better definition and explanation of the concept and reality of tradition, I have yet to hear it or read it. So that is what tradition is to me: Giving your family members, dead and alive, a prominent seat at your table. The Thais do it; the Koreans do it; the Japanese do it; the Filipinos do it, as do so many others. And now, so do I. If there are people out there that have a problem with a 51 year old Canadian Jew giving the members of his family, dead and alive, a prominent seat at his table, then I will suggest a place for them to go; a place that is always cold and dark. My mother may no longer be a part of this world, but she still is a part of MY world. She always will be.</p>\n<p>Traditionalists in the Thai classroom? You would have to go back 50 years for that. Most of traditional Thai culture is two generations dead. What message are Ning and so many others like her sending to her students? She has over 200 Mathayom 2 students (grade 8.) They are young and impressionistic.</p>\n<p>\"Hey girls, you don\'t have to work so hard. Forget your dreams of becoming a doctor, a lawyer, a teacher. One day you\'ll meet a foreigner with money who will take care of you. He will take care of your whole family; your whole village! He will buy your family a house, a car. And the \"sin sod\" (Dowry). My God you\'re going to fetch a mighty high sin sod from the farang. So don\'t work so hard. Don\'t study. Relax and let the farang take care of you.\"</p>\n<p>What the hell kind of message is that?!? This is a message conveyed not necessarily through words, but through action; and lack of action.</p>\n<p>The students at my school, and schools everywhere, are looking for the same things from their teachers. More than subject knowledge, they are looking for a reason to be in school; a purpose to wake up each morning and make that walk to the school grounds. Students are looking for dedication from their teachers; commitment to their growth and future success. They are looking to their teachers to have a vision of how to achieve any future success their students will have. They are looking for teachers who step into the classroom each day with a clear mission in mind, and a burning desire to get the job done. But most of all, students, all students are looking for this: Direction. Students everywhere are lost and are looking to their teachers to put them on the right path; a path that will lead out of the darkness and into the light of truth and wisdom. Above all, students need a sense of direction; in fact, they yearn for it. I see it in their eyes everyday and it awakens my soul.</p>\n<p>What I am seeing and experiencing at my school, and what I hear from other dedicated foreign teachers, many of the Thai teachers don\'t seem to be pulling their weight in regards to developing an effective and comprehensive strategy for the academic and social success of the students under their tutelage. (I use the word \"many\" because I\'m trying to be nice.) A case in point: The homeroom Thai English teachers at my school are in charge of handing out the vocabulary and vocabulary worksheets from each textbook unit to the students. They take one period a week and go over the vocabulary with the students, so that when the native English teachers start the unit, the students will understand it and, as the saying goes, &lsquo;hit the ground running.\' That\'s the theory. The reality, however, has been quite different. Many a times I have heard the &lsquo;right hand man\' of the Director of Studies barking at the Thai teachers when he found out that these Cinderella\'s have not gone over the vocabulary. In fact, the worksheets, which they should have handed out to the students, remain safely tucked in the drawer of their desk. My students as well have rarely seen these phantom vocabulary worksheets, which the real English teachers, the foreigners, took the time to put together.</p>\n<p>My solution: Fire the Cinderella\'s! Okay I know that won\'t happen. TIT. This is Thailand. My real solution: The foreign teachers should be given this seventh class of the day so that the students can benefit from one more real English class. In fact, we should become the homeroom teachers. That would give the Cinderella\'s more time for shopping or putting on makeup. I for one would be glad to take this class. I don\'t want any extra money; just the satisfaction that the students get an extra 35 minutes with me.</p>\n<p>What angers me is that the Thai English teachers are coddled. If the MEFL program was serious about the English education of Thai students, if Mahathai or any school is serious about the life and education of the students in Thailand, these teachers would be dismissed henceforth, and replaced with monks;<br />And not just any monks like those who became monks to get out of military service or as redemption for a recent crime. The Thai princesses, who do not take their job seriously, should be replaced with real monks: <br />Older bald men in orange robes with big ears and stern faces; some dirt on their teeth from poor oral hygiene would also help. Eye candy be damned!</p>\n<p>Not so long ago Thai children used to learn from monks; venerable monks, not the young monks of today who spend their days playing computer games and dreaming of their next heroin hit. No student will be rude to a monk like they are nowadays with their teachers. And the lessons venerable monks teach are not only academic, they are also life lessons. Mahathai English for Life! It\'s also about time we started teaching for life; every aspect of life.</p>\n<p>I can hear it now from the Thais and some farangs. But, Steve, you are only a guest here. A guest! A guest doesn\'t spend his days in the classroom dedicating his time and effort to teaching students; a guest spends his nights in classroom-a-go-go dedicating his time and effort to getting drunk and laid. I\'m a teacher and I\'ll worry about being a guest another time.</p>\n<p>I realize what I\'m writing may rub some people the wrong way. For any school supervisor out there, for any Director of Studies, here is some advice. If you are truly a compassionate supervisor or director and want to know your teachers more deeply, here is the one question you should ask them: \"What keeps you awake at night?\" That\'s it. That\'s the secret to knowing your teachers.</p>\n<p>\"What keeps you up at night?\"</p>\n<p>You will find out so much about them by their answer. Not only what they say, but how they say it. Here is what keeps me up at night. What keeps me up at night is that I live in a world which does not give a rat\'s ass about its children. We claim to care, we claim to love them, but when it comes to educating them, we fail; and we fail the students miserably. What keeps me up at night is the look in their eyes. Students look to us for guidance and direction, yet many of their teachers have no idea where they themselves are in life or where they are going. What keeps me awake at night is the reality that no matter how hard I try, no matter what I do in the classroom it will never be enough. I can come up with effective strategies for my students to read and write, but there will always be students who will not get it; there will always be students I feel I have failed. I can try to save a million students, but it\'s the million and first that will break my heart.</p>\n<p>What keeps me up at night is the reality that many of my students will not realize their dreams of being a doctor, a lawyer, a dentist, an engineer, a businessman, or a teacher. Not reaching their full potential is every individual\'s personal tragedy. It\'s something we take to our grave. But most of all, what keeps me up at night is the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach that some of my female students, my children, my daughters, will be forced to leave school at far too young an age to work in the bars of Pattaya and Patpong.</p>\n<p>During the first week of classes I had all my Mathayom 4 (grade 10) students write me a letter telling me their future goals and dreams. On the back of that paper I then had them draw a picture of their dream. \"Draw a picture of your future\", I told them. \"Show me your future and together we will work towards it.\"</p>\n<p>So they did. They drew beautiful pictures of themselves wearing doctor\'s uniforms, nurse\'s uniforms, businessmen carrying a briefcase, and of teachers standing in front of the classroom complete with a whiteboard and a wooden pointer. I look at those pictures every now and then throughout the year as a reminder of why I am here and why my students are in my class. Periodically I remind the students of that as well. What keeps me awake at night is the reality that some of these young ladies, the daughters of my heart, the beautiful daughters of Thailand will not see their dream realized. TIT. This is Thailand. Many times here I get the feeling that I\'m simply pissing into the wind.</p>\n<p>Here\'s one thing I don\'t lose sleep over: An uncooperative Thai staff that wants nothing to do with farangs. This is fine with me. This I consider a gift, a perk of the job. You cannot force people to work with you. You cannot force people to be cooperative with others. The Thai staff at my school and at schools throughout Thailand is generations behind the West when it comes to developing a work ethic. The Thais themselves will tell you, in a rare moment of honesty that they do not work well with others, especially other Thais. I\'ve seen this in the Korean public schools and there is nothing a foreign teacher can do about this except ignore them as well. \"If you want something done correctly, do it yourself.\" This old adage has never been truer. Don\'t ever force an adult Thai to work with you; you may end up floating facedown in a river.</p>\n<p>Most of my students are 14-15 years old. A few are 16 and one beautiful young lady named Nootsabra is 17. She wants to be a lawyer. They are at the edge of an abyss; the cusp of major life choices. They are teetering in the middle and can go either way. That\'s why I feel such a huge responsibility to teach them well and teach them properly. I am tough on them. I do not coddle them like their Thai teachers. I want them to succeed and have their dreams come true. Part of being tough on them is having them see the deep, profound, and historical connection between working hard and future success.</p>\n<p>It has been said by certain journalists and columnists in the newspapers here that Thailand needs a revolution. Granted this was said immediately following the \"Red Shirt\" riots which left many people dead and several businesses torched. In my opinion the last thing Thailand needs is a revolution. She needs EVOLUTION. And, at the same time, she needs to preserve her traditions. Contrary to strong beliefs by many foreigners living and working here, to evolve financially while maintaining certain cultural traditions are not mutually exclusive.</p>\n<p>She needs to get back to a time when Buddhist tradition and family values made them a great society. She needs to stop acting Westernized; she needs to quit trying to be Americans or Australians or English. You can learn English without being English. Thailand needs to start loving and valuing her children again. She needs to start taking responsibility for her own actions, lack of action, and for the social mess she has created and helps to perpetuate. She needs to take her history, her traditions, her past, her true values and culture and hold them up as examples of how children should be loved and cared for. Thailand needs to evolve on her own terms so that teachers like me can love his students and teach them in the way they have always been loved, taught, and cared for.

Having spent a month or more in a government hospital on three separate occasions, in three different provinces, each time with very a different financial situation, I would probably have quite a lot to add. But that\'s not why I\'m writing this.</p>\n<p>I could claim to be writing this as an aid to others. Perhaps a cautionary note to those of us who have weighed up what other goodies could be bought in Thailand instead of &lsquo;wasting\' it on insurance, which is almost certainly not going to be necessary; \"You can get a hotel for 3 quid a night! On the beach, no less!!\" was one of the many, misinformed pearls I was given before first coming out here 5 years ago. But that\'s not why I\'m writing this.</p>\n<p>Let me just be completely frank here. This is nothing more than a little bit of self-indulgence and a way to fill in these long summer school hours. Are we sitting comfortably? Then get a bloody cushion, I\'m beginning now...</p>\n<h3>Once upon a bike</h3>\n<p>It was a beautiful, summer\'s day. The sun was beginning to show up over the Tha Phae Gate, the birds were just clearing their throats and all was good. Ok, Chiang Mai is a beautiful city but it could be that my mindset at the time managed to overlook the two dozen tuk-tuk drivers, (the reason, perhaps, that the birds felt it necessary to clear their throats), that had just polished off their Lao Kao ready for another day in the office. It may well be the case that I was far too high spirited to notice the girls that were still stumbling out of Spicy, hurling broken profanities at the poor guys who had respectfully declined to &lsquo;go boom-boom.\' Compared to Bangkok, Chiang Mai is a cut-out from &lsquo;Happy House and Home\' magazine, but on this particular day I swear I was looking at the pearly Tha Phae gates of heaven.</p>\n<p>A group of guys I had met were talking about renting motorbikes and going off to do a bungee jump but it was still 6am, and I had no intention of disturbing my new best friends, so I thought it may be a good idea to get in a bit of practice on a bike (since the only thing I had ever been on was a 50cc scooter on my old school playing field). Passport in hand I went off to rent my first motorbike.</p>\n<p>The forms that needed filling in were all pretty standard, and I don\'t know why I hadn\'t expect it, but I froze for a moment when I saw the heading \"Driving License Number\". Okay... although I had no idea what to put, (how many digits? Are there letters too?), I was fairly sure that neither did the shop owner so......297yg89, thank you very much. Where do I collect the keys?</p>\n<p>It should have dawned on me then, as I stalled the thing after 10 seconds, that this might not be the best of ideas. It would not be that surprising that I had managed to stall it, since this was my first ever time on a bike, but this was a bloody semi-automatic. Surely it should not even be possible. Nevertheless, warning unheeded, off I went. And I flew. Within minutes I felt as safe as anything as I rode the gold-paved streets.</p>\n<p>Soon I was outside the guesthouse with my crew, planning out the route we were going to take on our big adventure. There were 7 of us in total; myself, a Danish couple, an Australian couple, an English guy and an English gal (who had been paired off to ride with me). Fortunately the senses that were lacking in me were still evident in her and she politely suggested that perhaps she should sit on the other chap\'s bike. She had, after all, just seen me frantically thrashing my leg around, trying to find the foot brake. To try and maintain some level of pride and dignity I handed over my helmet to her as we were a helmet short between us all. I mean, really...with riding skills like I had just acquired, where was the point?<br />So off we went.</p>\n<h3>Worse ways to go</h3>\n<p>And off we went. It really was something out of Quadraphenia, except in colour and without any particularly annoying haircuts. Our gang. Our group of modern day mods. No real plans, just free riding (we\'d stashed the map away by this point). <br />After we\'d reached about the half-way point to our destination we stopped to get some water, check we were all ok and beam smiles at each other to signify how much fun this all was. The girl who had wisely opted not to sit on the back of my bike came over and handed me her helmet, claiming that I had been drawing the attention of the police and it would look better if each bike had at least one helmet. Looking back it was really good, and quite clever, of her to leave out that fact that I was riding like a madman and that she feared for my safety. I thanked her, accepted the helmet and we all got back on our bikes.</p>\n<p>I was still trying to get my bike started as first one, and then a second, of our group sped off. I finally got the thing going and decided to make it my mission to catch up with the other guys, on their 250cc superbikes, and more importantly to regain some of my already dented ego. It was going to be quite a feat considering, I was on an automatic chicken chaser, but I was determined. I began leaning into all corners, assured in my mind that this would be as effective as braking, and I pushed my whole body forward in an attempt to either streamline myself or just to will the bike to go quicker. I learned, as one particularly sharp bend turned into an equally nasty s-bend, that this had not been a good idea. The bike and I, both as one unit, hit the side of the road and proceeded to perform a 720&deg; back flip that, had it not been for the poor landing, would have surely impressed the Xtreme-games judges. I should perhaps pluralize &lsquo;landing\' as the bike seemed reluctant to give up on it\'s new found vocation as a jet engine and put in a few final attempts to take off.</p>\n<p>It is true what they say about the superhuman strength your body can achieve with high levels of adrenaline. I flung the bike a good few feet away from me and began checking myself over. Starting from the top (leaving on the helmet, loosening my clothes) I looked to be in fairly good shape so I went to sit up. I\'m no doctor, and a half day first-aid training is the source of the only medical knowledge I posses, but I am pretty sure that bones should not protrude out of the skin, and that legs should not resemble rare, tenderized steaks. This was quite bad.</p>\n<p>It was about now that my Australian friends, who were the last of our group to head off, came running over with worried looks and panicked voices. Despite their evident squeamishness they came over to me and began trying to make me more comfortable. The first thing they had to do to accomplish this was to try and in some way shade me from the blazing sun. As there was no shelter around us the only way this was possible was to use their clothes and, being such a hot day, none of us had much on anyway. All the guy could spare was his shorts, leaving him standing in a pair of Y-fronts; the sort that my mother had forced me to wear as a young child, and later my PE instructor had forced me to wear to... \"keep my parts in place\". Having given me this protection from the sun he went on to psyche himself up for the rather unpleasant task of holding my foot in place.</p>\n<p>His girlfriend had rested my head on her knees and was trying to feed me water and orange juice. Despite all this help the heat was still getting to me and we seemed to be forever waiting for an ambulance. She must have noticed that I was struggling with the heat as she also took off her t-shirt for extra shade. I remember thinking, as I was drifting in and out of consciousness, that there are worse ways to go than this; laying out in the sun, head resting on the knees of a beautiful, half naked woman, being fed orange juice.</p>\n<p>Time flies when you\'re having fun. Well, despite the attention I was getting from two amazing people I wasn\'t really having fun. And time, keeping to its promise, slowed right down. Cars, trucks and buses flew past us and again the laws of the universe were obeyed; that deep, mysterious part of us which draws our eyes to anything grotesque or obscene did not falter here. I like to think that the reason people weren\'t stopping to help was because they were all on important business and that nobody was thinking... \" it serves the dumb bastard right\".</p>\n<p>\"All good things come in threes\" and \"when it rains it pours\" are some other appropriate quotes from persons unknown as three ambulances showed up within minutes of each other, each from a different hospital/organization. I use the word ambulance quite loosely with the first as it was really just a kitted out pick-up truck from one of the volunteer groups. I should just stress that the work they do is truly amazing; they seem to get very little in the way of appreciation, and nothing in the way of funding, from the government for what they do. Nevertheless, I was a bit concerned when the first thing they did was snap off a nearby branch to make a make-shift splint. Next came the two official ambulances, both from different directions and both seeming to be in a pride-fuelled race to get to me first. I imagine they were both a bit disheartened to find that the volunteer group was already there and already half way through strapping my foot to a tree. The one driver peeled away with just a few customary words to the others and a \"tut-tut\" shake of the head aimed at me. And then there were two.</p>\n<p>The relief I felt on seeing the medical professionals arrive was quickly turning into a frustrated worry as all parties left my side and went off to debate over who would take me in. Being new to the country I had no idea what they were actually saying but the raised voices and confrontational stances showed that the debate was quickly turning into an argument. I don\'t mind admitting that I was routing for the hospital\'s guys, if for no other reason than that they were much more likely be in possession of large amounts of opiates. Harsh words were exchanged, telephone calls were made and eventually the volunteer group sulked off and drove away. My inward \"woop\" of joy was soon justified as within a few minutes I was in the back of a sterile white ambulance, eyes rolling back with that relaxed, &lsquo;not a care in the world\' feeling that comes with a shot of morphine.</p>\n<p>I can\'t say much regarding the ambulance ride, or the initial treatment I received, on account of being sedated, anesthetized and just completely exhausted. What I can talk about is first coming round in a large room with seven young, bedridden Thai guys staring at me. Let me take a moment to lay the scene a little bit. I was in a large, open room with four beds neatly lined against each wall. As you would expect in any hospital, there was a small bedside cabinet, a reading lamp and a comfortable, but sensible, chair next to each bed. Looking around the room I noticed that my little living area was quite unique in as much as that it was the only one that was completely empty; wives and sister dutifully gathered around the other beds pouring water, fluffing pillow and being generally supportive. This was the first point that the seriousness of my situation struck me and the first time that I realized how alone I really was. The young men around me were all in various states of disrepair, ranging from broken legs, bandaged arms and even one poor guy with a bolt coming from his head, staring out in a zombie like trance. It was, I would later learn, the ward put aside specifically for the hospital\'s regular admission of motorcycle accident patients.</p>\n<p>\n<h3>Get it out</h3>\n<p>Having taken in my surroundings I focused my attention on my own injuries. My upper body was covered in scratches and scrapes but was otherwise fine. Below my waist line, however, was a different matter. My right foot had been left un-bandaged and had swollen to something akin to the classic, exaggerated, swollen thumb cartoon. It was huge. Each toe had a small amount of wire protruding from the end making my foot resemble an avant-garde sculpture made from old garden rakes. This was not the thing that was really worrying me though. What really shook me up a bit was the long, plastic tube coming from underneath my hospital pajama bottoms. A moment of calm thought would have probably told me that it is quite normal for a catheter to be inserted when a patient undergoes lengthy surgery but all that was going through my mind was \"GET IT OUT!!!\". I gave it a few tentative pulls hoping it would just slide out. Nothing. I tugged more forcefully, wincing at the pain. Nothing. In a fit of panic I yanked at the rubber tube for all I was worth; whatever else happened to me, this damn thing was coming out. Luckily one of the nurses saw what I was doing and came running over, waving her arms and shouting. It was only later, when the doctor came over to talk to me, that I learnt how these things are first inserted fairly easily but then filled with air to about the size of a golf ball. There is another tale which would fit the title &lsquo;get it out\' but it is perhaps a bit too crude. Let me just say that the catering staff, in their attempt to make me feel more at home, had been feeding me nothing but fried eggs and cold pizza for the first few days. Eggs are fine in moderation but being fed them morning, noon and night had a rather unpleasant effect on my digestive system.</p>\n<h3>You talkin\' to me?</h3>\n<p>The next few days I had very little communication with anyone save the doctor on his daily rounds. On the first evening he explained to me what they had done during the 8 hours I was under anesthetic; every bone from the right ankle down had been broken in what he called a &lsquo;crush injury\' and so he had put in a whole framework of metal screws and wires to hold it all together; the left leg had several compound fractures which required internal and external metal work (making airport security a nightmare for me in later life). Other than that I was in pretty good shape and the cracked helmet that had been brought in with the ambulance had almost certainly saved my life.</p>\n<p>The nurses were very friendly but could not speak a word of English. They could, however, write in a very neat, cursive script and this became our only way of communicating. Years later, at the bottom of an old rucksack, I found a slip of paper with one of my scribbled notes; \"next time you are cleaning my wound can you PLEASE sedate me first?!\" The role of a nurse here is slightly different to that of their western counterparts, in as much as that they are less responsible for general care (it tends to be female family members that help out with washing, eating and the like) but take a much more active role in actual medical treatments. It was the nurses who would come to scrub out my wounds twice daily, to pick out any signs of gangrene and to keep me stocked up on morphine.</p>\n<p>It became apparent, even with the language barrier, that something was worrying the nurses and hushed conversations, aimed at me, became a regular thing. It all became clear when my doctor, on his evening round, came and very delicately broached the subject of insurance. I had travel insurance, from a pretty reputable UK company, but I had no receipt on me and all the paperwork was back in my 300 baht a night guest house. He seemed relieved that I did have insurance but there was still the question of how to contact them.</p>\n<h3>No fax no fix</h3>\n<p>After days of calling, waiting and being put on hold I finally managed to speak to someone at the insurance company who might be able to help me. My luck was in (or so it seemed) as a nice lady, sat in her London office, assured me that I would most certainly be fully covered for all medical costs, repatriation costs and anything else that might be needed. All I had to do was send her a fax, from the doctor, stating exactly what my condition was and a break down of costs to date, so I put my pen to paper an wrote out a note for one of the nurses. \"I\'m sorry but this hospital doesn\'t have a fax machine. There are many places in the city where you could send a fax but you cannot leave the hospital in your condition\" was the reply handed back to me. When I called back to the insurance company, explaining the contents of the note I had just received, I was told that if I was unable to get a fax to them then they would not be able to guarantee the hospital that they would cover the costs.</p>\n<p>When I spoke to the doctor, explaining this dilemma to him, he also apologized but said that without confirmation from the insurance company he would not be able to carry out any of the further operations, of which there may well be many. What was I to do? The next few days I was in a state of panic, completely at a loss as to what I could do. It was around this time that I saw the most welcome face pop her head around the drawn back curtains around my hospital bad. My older sister, who had been travelling around SE Asia at the same time, had heard about what had happened at had come straight to the hospital. I think this was the first time I had cried and a whole load of weights and worries were lifted off my bruised shoulders. For the rest of my stay my sister was an absolute angel. She did everything for me, from taking on the role of nurse and helping me wash and eat, to sorting out everything regarding insurance, paper work and every other little bit of red tape that got in our way. There is a chance she will read this, and I don\'t want to give her too much of an ego, but I can never explain how much her being there with me meant to me; never once did she make me feel like I was inconveniencing her or feel any bitterness about cutting her travels short.</p>\n<h3>Dinners and DVDs</h3>\n<p>From the moment that the insurance company had sent confirmation to the hospital we saw an immediate change in how we were treated. We were taken straight to a large private room with a place for my sister to sleep, an en suit bathroom, (again for my sister as my washing facilities were a plastic bowl and flannel, kept beside my bed), a large TV and a stack of DVDs. The nurses now spoke near perfect English and were as fun and light-hearted as they were diligent and hard working. They saw the kindness in the way my sister helped me and instantly befriended her, taking her out into the city for \"time off\" to go shopping, see some sights and just take a much deserved break from looking after me.</p>\n<p>The nurses brought me a wheelchair so I could get out a bit and my sister would jump on the back as we sped down the corridors on the way for some fresh air and a smoke. The menu from the previous ward, which had consisted of cold pizza and fried eggs, was gone and I was now served large trays with an array of salads, grilled meats, exotic fruits and unusual desserts. A few times they even managed to bring me rare steak, mashed potatoes and other culinary delights which not only tasted great but also stopped me pining for home too much. Saying that, I did really want to be back home, around my family and friends, and was really hoping that the insurance company would send someone out to see me soon, and that my doctor would soon deem me fit for travel.</p>\n<p>My sister and I had been quite cautious when telling our mum about what had happened, knowing full well that mother would take it badly and would want to be on the first flight out to see me, putting stress on me as well as herself. Over the first few days I had called home but insisted that it had been just a minor accident and I would be in hospital for just a few days. The next time I think it was sister who called home, explaining that I had broken my leg and that I would have to stay in a bit longer. It was not until about a week before I would be flying back that I told folks back home the severity of it all; over the last few weeks, despite the nurses pulling and plucking at the wounds with tweezers and soaking it in iodine, the foot had become gangrenous. First the little &lsquo;pinkie\' toe was amputated, and then two more until more than half of the foot was an open wound and I could quite easily have claimed to have been the victim of a shark attack, (which, along with a story about saving children from a burning building, would later become a way to impress any girls that I met).</p>\n<h3>Flying in comfort</h3>\n<p>After I\'d been in hospital for around six weeks, and had been under anesthetic for no less than 20 hours in total, I was finally ready to go home. The insurance company sent out their own doctor, from Malaysia, to come to see and examine me, and they sent out a nurse, from the UK, to escort me on the flight back to Heathrow. We said our goodbyes to all the hospital staff, exchanged numbers and email address, and I was strapped into a stretcher for the long flight home. I don\'t really remember the flight from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, (perhaps because of the farewell gift of morphine I was given before heading off), but getting on to the flight at Don Muang really surprised me. I don\'t know why but I had expected some special airlift plane; sterile white walls and medical equipment screwed to the cabin. What I was not expecting was to be lifted on to a Thai Airways flight, over the heads of the passengers who had already boarded, and clicked into place where twelve seats would usually be. I remember thinking, glancing over at the other poor sods, all straining to see the movie showing on the plane\'s only screen, that this is the way to fly. No more club class for me, and you can keep your business class too. Next time I\'m flying stretcher.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/mbike.gif','2010-07-04 18:31:01',1,'2010-07-04 18:31:01','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(1847,21,'Where do you stand on gate duty?','where-do-you-stand-on-gate-duty','Do you approach those extra responsiblities with commendable gusto?','For those readers who have spent their teaching career cooped up in private language schools, gate duty is when a foreign teacher at say a government or Thai secondary school is told to stand in front of the school building – usually in the morning or at the end of the school day - and look like an asset to the institution.','<p>One thing that splits many a foreign teachers\' room right down the middle is the topic of gate duty.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On one side, there are those who say it\'s degrading and merely an opportunity for a school to show off its foreign teachers to the fee-paying parents.

Much depends on a teacher\'s personality and character.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Bah humbug!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Those teachers who feel they are employed to teach English and teach English only, are usually the ones to be found skulking in the shade of the security guard\'s hut, gripping a ciggy between nicotine-stained thumb and forefinger - or heaven forbid, behind the tool shed enjoying a clandestine swig from the hip-flask.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for every sourpuss standing there with a face like thunder and muttering something about ‘bloody performing monkeys\' there are dedicated chalkies who take to gate duty like frogs to a lily pond. Some are just born for the role of mom, nurse and guardian angel all rolled into one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"500\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/monkey01.gif\" width=\"500\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Remember the dinner lady?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The concept of having a grown-up person around to supervise an environment where accidents are waiting to happen is not unique to Thailand. I remember back to my primary school days in the UK. Morning and afternoon breaks were always supervised by teachers who would stroll up and down the playground, sipping a mug of coffee, while telling students to ‘stop running\' and confiscating anything illegal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In those days it was usually tennis balls and marbles that were confiscated you understand - not knives, guns and knuckle-dusters.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dinner hours, when kids were let out for a longer period of time, were supervised by ‘dinner ladies\'. These were plump, ruddy-faced, middle-aged women who worked in the school canteen (I can\'t bring myself to call them cooks) and part of their job description - when they weren\'t scooping unappetizing dollops of baked beans and mash on to metal plates - was to patrol the school playground and keep the kids in check.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A dinner lady\'s meaty arms were often a safe haven for those kids who didn\'t fit in with the rest of their school year. Perhaps a kid who wore glasses or played the violin, anything that made him a social outcast.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rather in the way a petty criminal would be safe from arrest if he hung onto the knocker of a church door in medieval times, a violin playing eight-year old with freckles would be safe from the school bullies if he clung to a dinner lady\'s ample bosom. He might have got tormented and threatened from a distance but for that one hour a day he was perfectly safe.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Divided opinion</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Where was I? Oh yes. Thailand. When we brought up the topic of gate duty on a teacher discussion forum, it got something of a mixed reaction. One teacher admitted it wasn\'t the greatest part of his working day, but he could put up with doing it twice a month. And that\'s all the foreign teachers at his school were asked to do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some teachers are not quite so lucky. For some, gate duty is a weekly chore and some foreign ajarns are out there every single day come rain, come shine, but they accept the responsibility as part and parcel of being a teacher in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One thing\'s for certain - if you relish your role as the foreign ‘face at the gate\', the kids will love you for it, the parents will love you for it, and the school director will know he\'s got the best man for the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Being asked to perform non-teaching tasks ‘outside\' the classroom doesn\'t begin and end with gate duty though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Foreign teachers are usually viewed as fair game when it comes to that time-honored tradition of ‘dressing up\' and making a complete tit of yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the festive season comes around and the school needs a Father Christmas, guess who\'s going to get volunteered? The old Thai teacher with the long white beard, the booming voice and the beer gut? Or the rail-thin foreigner who has to run around in the shower to get wet?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You\'d better grab hold of Rudolph and pick up that big sack of prezzies sunshine because this is your moment. And if someone\'s beaten you to the job, don\'t worry. The school still needs a samba-dancing king prawn at the next parents evening.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/gate_duty.gif','2018-02-21 01:00:00',1,'2016-06-09 01:00:17','2018-08-27 15:35:42'),(1887,21,'Back in the groove again','back-in-the-groove-again','Stepping back into a Thai training room after three years away','A two-day seminar on the topic of ‘Executive E-mail Writing\' for fifteen participants at one of the world\'s largest auditing companies.

That\'s what I had been asked to deliver. Despite having plenty of experience, it was still a daunting challenge given the fact I hadn\'t walked into a training room to conduct a workshop or seminar in almost three years. It was time to put my trainer hat on and get back into the groove.</p>\n<p>I\'ve taught at this company\'s Bangkok office before so I\'m not a complete stranger to them. Last year, I did a series of one-to-one coaching sessions with four of their management executives and the classes went OK. I can\'t find a better adjective than OK because I\'m not a great fan of what many training providers market as &lsquo;executive coaching\' programs - one teacher, one management executive, one training room.</p>\n<p>Years ago, I worked for a training company that marketed executive coaching and used to spin potential clients the following line - \"think of your trainer as your own personal driver. You tell them exactly where you want to go. Perhaps you need to brush up your writing skills or practice your English conversation for those all-important networking evenings\"</p>\n<p>I thought it was a wonderful analogy. Think of your trainer as your own personal driver and tell them where you want to go. The problem is that most senior executives have no idea where they want to go. They are constantly stuck at the traffic lights.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve done any &lsquo;executive coaching\' and your executive student has been motivated and full of ideas for possible lesson content, then I tip my hat to you. I\'ve always found the experience to be like pulling teeth. Executives often start such a program with the best intentions but the constant phone call interruptions and the pressure of falling behind with their &lsquo;proper\' work soon means that your wonderful executive coaching sessions are pushed way down the priority list.</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t mind a dollar for every time I\'ve turned up for an executive coaching session with shiny shoes and my best smile, and upon asking Khun Somtee, The Accounting Manager, what he\'d like to do today, Khun Somtee has replied with a shrug of the shoulders and the words every trainer in this situation dreads - \"it\'s up to you\".</p>\n<p>Wrong answer. That\'s not what executive coaching is about and that\'s not how it\'s sold.</p>\n<p>A two-day seminar with fifteen participants on the topic of E-mail writing is a whole different ball-game however. It\'s a chance to show off the best of your classroom management skills and make the rather &lsquo;dry\' topic of e-mail writing as exciting as possible.</p>\n<p>I relish teaching jobs like this. Give me adult groups any day. And give me a topic I\'m passionate about!</p>\n<p>Generally, there are only two business training courses that I will touch - e-mail communication and presentation skills. I love both of these topics with a passion. And just as a salesman will never successfully sell a product he doesn\'t believe or trust in, I\'m a great believer in that you can\'t teach a workshop or seminar on a topic that you\'re not passionate about yourself.<br />Although e-mail communication and presentation skills courses are very much in demand right now, many training providers also market English language seminars and workshops on the topics of meeting skills and negotiation skills. I\'ve taught both of these courses a number of times but fail to see the point of them. I\'ve never conducted a two-day course on either negotiation or meeting skills and felt that the program has been truly worthwhile.</p>\n<p>In meeting skills programs, as the trainer, you are expected to arm Thai junior management staff with phrases such as \"OK let\'s get the ball rolling\" and \"does anyone have anything else to add to the discussion?\" And then tell them it\'s perfectly OK to say \"I\'m sorry Khun Peter, but I don\'t entirely agree with you on that point\" when Khun Peter is four levels above them in the company.</p>\n<p>It\'s not going to happen. Not a chance. It\'s a waste of everyone\'s time.</p>\n<p>I feel the same way about negotiation skills programs. You are either born a good negotiator or you\'re not. OK, one can become a decent negotiator over time but it\'s achieved by gaining experience in real negotiating situations - and not from taking part in a few awkward seminar role-plays.</p>\n<p>Anyway, to cut a long story short, my two-day seminar on Executive E-mail Writing went pretty well and the company is interested in conducting more and rolling them out to more departments. You can\'t say fairer than that. So the main purpose of this article is to share with you some tips and advice to make your workshops and seminars go smoothly. These ideas certainly work for me.</p>\n<p>Possibly the best book I\'ve ever read on the subject of running a good seminar is &lsquo;How to Run Seminars and Workshops\' by Robert L.Jolles. It\'s a book I dip into for ideas rather than treat it as my bible, but it\'s a book packed with good advice. Robert Jolles has conducted training at some of the biggest companies in the USA and you instantly get a feeling that here\'s a guy who\'s experienced all the good and bad points of running a seminar. He\'s made mistakes along the way - and he\'s learned from them.</p>\n<p>Here are my own tips. Some of them are touched on in Robert L. Jolles\' book but certainly not all.</p>\n<p><strong>Get there early!</strong></p>\n<p>I always make sure that I arrive at a company at least an hour before the program starts on day one. There\'s nothing worse than the trainer who arrives five minutes before the start of a seminar, covered in sweat, and looking like he just got mugged in the elevator.</p>\n<p>Firstly, there\'s my equipment to set up. For e-mail writing seminars, I have a laptop, a projector, and a wonderful piece of machinery called a document reader. It\'s basically a lightweight overhead projector that plugs into the main projector.</p>\n<p>With a document reader, you can put a student\'s finished e-mail assignment on the big screen for all the other trainees to read and analyze.</p>\n<p>Setting up equipment usually requires the assistance of the company IT guy. There are three kinds of company IT guy. The first one is the gentleman who appears the moment you walk into the training room and for whom nothing is too much trouble. The second kind of IT guy is the man who shows plenty of willing but seems to know nothing about which leads go into which hole. And finally the company IT guy who goes missing altogether and it takes five members of staff to track him down. May all your IT guys be the first kind.</p>\n<p><strong>Arrange the furniture before the trainees arrive.</strong></p>\n<p>Decide how YOU want the room to look and where YOU want the trainees to sit. In a presentations seminar, I like the good old semi-circle arrangement so I can get up close and personal with each trainee. For an e-mail seminar, I rely on a lot of pair-work so I tend to have trainees sitting in small clusters of four.</p>\n<p>When I walk into a training room for the first time, the furniture is almost never arranged as I want it. It\'s time to summon up a couple of staff and get them doing some serious scene shifting.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t chat with trainees as they enter the training room.</strong></p>\n<p>You know those first tentative moments on the first day of a seminar when trainees trickle into the room looking like they\'re about to face the firing squad? Look busy with your notes or fiddle about with your computer but don\'t engage in conversation. Leave the room altogether if you have to. I\'ve got nothing against a cheery good morning and a nice friendly smile but if you start having conversations with early arrivals about course content, you are playing your hand too early. Keep an element of surprise and start the seminar when it\'s supposed to start.</p>\n<p><strong>Expectations - why are the students / trainees here?</strong></p>\n<p>This for me is the most important part of any seminar or workshop. You\'ve done your warm-up activity and your introductions, etc. You\'ve got the group buzzing. They can\'t wait to get into the topic. But they\'re going to have to wait a while longer. As the trainer, I want to know their expectations. And I will ask them straight up - \"why are you here?\" \"What have you come to learn?\"</p>\n<p>I write down all the trainees\' answers on a large sheet of white butcher\'s paper. Don\'t write the expectations on a whiteboard and then rub them off. You want to keep that big sheet of butcher\'s paper until the last moment of the final day. I love butcher\'s paper anyway. It takes me back to my childhood, standing in the butcher\'s shop, and my mother asking for &lsquo;three pork chops and some scraps for the dog\'. I would look up at my mom, just a wide-eyed little boy, and say \"Wow! Are we getting a dog\" Great days!</p>\n<p>On that first morning, once the trainees have given me their expectations, I will go through the list and either tick or cross them out. If something is not going to be covered in the seminar, I honestly think it best to let the trainee down right at the start.</p>\n<p>I was conducting a seminar on presentation techniques a few years ago, and during the expectations session, when I asked the group what they hoped to go away with, one lady told me that she wanted to learn how to speak &lsquo;beautiful English\'.</p>\n<p>I looked her straight in the eye and said I was sorry. This was a seminar on presentation techniques. Although we would cover certain expressions and phrases to help your presentations go smoother, this was NOT an English class. And I walked over to my butcher\'s paper and put a big X next to &lsquo;want to speak beautiful English\'</p>\n<p>To be honest, the trainee looked a little crestfallen but you need to make sure that trainee expectations are realistic. As I said - let the trainee down early doors. Don\'t make them sit through a two-day seminar and wonder what they are going to get out of it.</p>\n<p>Let me end this section on expectations with one great universal truth - and this will make you happy. When trainees know what topics will or won\'t be covered in the program, and you the trainer deliver what you say you will - you will get much better student surveys and evaluations at the end of the program. And all teachers want to be loved and appreciated.</p>\n<p><strong>Take breaks when the trainees need them</strong></p>\n<p>You\'ve planned your seminar schedule. You are going to start the program at 9.00 and take the mid-morning break at 10.30.</p>\n<p>I might well shoot for a 10.30 mid-morning break but if I can see participants are starting to yawn, fidget, scratch and check text messages on their phone - and it\'s only 10.15, I will take a break there and then. Always stay aware of energy levels and decreasing motivation or you will get to the stage where you are literally taking to yourself and the trainees will have switched off long ago.</p>\n<p><strong>The post lunch slump</strong></p>\n<p>I think the hour after lunch is the hour most trainers dread. It\'s that terrible post lunch slump.</p>\n<p>This is not the time to tell the participants to carry on with the task on page 24 or to return to the discussion on levels of e-mail formality. It\'s time to get them out of their chairs and dancing around for ten minutes. It\'s the only way to beat the post lunch slump.</p>\n<p>I know of one trainer who asks his trainees to all stand up and then says \"Ok guys let\'s do some running on the spot. Come on! Lift those legs up. Wave your arms about at the same time\"</p>\n<p>And he will carry this out for five minutes until the trainees are either breathless or collapsing on the floor with laughter.</p>\n<p>It\'s silly. You feel a bit of a fool asking trainees to do it. But by jingo - does it work!</p>\n<p>I\'ll admit I don\'t really have the balls to stage impromptu aerobics sessions, but I always keep a list of boisterous, noisy activities for adult students up my sleeve. And depending on the group, I\'ll get them moving around the room - and beat that post lunch slump.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t go to lunch with students</strong></p>\n<p>This may surprise you and you might accuse me of being anti-social, but I never do lunch with students in the middle of a seminar day. If I am invited to lunch by the group, then I will lie and say that I have to meet someone or I need to make a few phone calls. Anything to get out of it. Going to lunch with the students is unfair on you and even more unfair on them.</p>\n<p>I want to sit in a corner of a quiet restaurant or coffee shop - far from the maddening crowd - with just my notes and my thoughts (and my food of course) I want to think about the afternoon session and how I\'m going to teach it based on what I experienced in the morning.</p>\n<p>What about the trainees? They want to go to lunch as a group and chill out and be Thai again. They want to natter in Thai and talk about what they\'ve learned. Or just gossip about me or other members of the Thai staff. I don\'t care.</p>\n<p>But I do know one thing. The group doesn\'t want some farang instructor sitting with them and &lsquo;poisoning\' the atmosphere. Have some pity for the trainee who would have to sit next to you and ask you if you like Thailand and if you can eat Thai food just out of sheer politeness. It\'s no fun for them. It\'s certainly no fun for you.</p>\n<p>I love that hour in a dark corner of a coffee shop alone with my thoughts.</p>\n<p><strong>Reassure Thais that it\'s not because they are Thai</strong></p>\n<p>Thai trainees often have the misconception that their e-mails are poor or their presentations are unexciting and difficult to follow.........because they are Thai and English is not their first language. They have this notion that English native speakers are all great at this stuff, when nothing is further from the truth. I tell the group that believe it or not, some of the worst presentations I\'ve seen have been delivered by British or American speakers, and don\'t get me started on e-mail communication. There are plenty of native English speakers who don\'t appreciate what an e-mail subject line is or wouldn\'t know about e-mail clarity if it was tatooed across their forehead. Thai trainees are nearly always surprised. They think that every native English speaker is born to perform these tasks well.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve got any other seminar / workshop tips and advice, I would love to hear them.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/seminar.gif','2010-07-09 22:46:38',1,'2010-07-09 22:46:38','2010-07-11 17:05:39'),(1891,4,'Responsibility:  Teaching the fourth R in education','responsibility-teaching-the-fourth-r-in-education','It\'s time to make our students look good - and not just academically','In our zeal to teach the three ‘R\'s, reading, ‘righting, and ‘rithmetic, we are neglecting to teach another very important ‘R\': Responsibility; responsibility for oneself and responsibility for others','<p>In our zeal to teach the three &lsquo;R\'s, reading, &lsquo;righting, and &lsquo;rithmetic, we are neglecting to teach another very important &lsquo;R\': Responsibility; responsibility for oneself and responsibility for others. In many countries around the world, especially here in Asia, the obsession with getting students to score in the highest percentile in their schools, communities, and countries, has become almost pathological; something akin to a mental illness, or at the very least, a mental blockage on the part of many parents, teachers, school administrators, principals, supervisors, and director\'s of studies.</p>\n<p>While it is very important for students of all ages to learn to read, write, add, and subtract it should never become the be-all and end-all of their educational experience. Our focus on tests and examinations, many times taking up to 25-30 percent of the students\' time during the school year if you include revisions, takes away from them the precious time needed to become more fully human, more socially adaptable, more psychologically healthy, more emotionally stable, and more spiritually secure. In our zeal to make better students, are we at the same time, helping to produce worse people? By focusing on academic subjects--- math, science, geography, history, English, etc., with all of the stress that studying for exams and passing them inevitably causes, are we simply producing robotic students who do little more than spit out the answers that we want to hear at the expense of showing us how truly brilliant they can become?</p>\n<p>I ask because these are serious questions that deserve serious answers. More than that, these questions should be demanding from us some serious thinking and serious consideration in order to come up with long lasting and positive solutions.</p>\n<p>I spent three years in the Korean public school system. The Koreans, like most Asians, are obsessed with their children getting the highest grade in their class, if not the whole country. Proof of that is that South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. Hardly a week went by when I didn\'t hear about two or three 15 or 16 year old boys or girls throwing themselves off 20 story apartment buildings. In Korea and Japan today, suicide pacts, especially among teenagers, have become a pandemic, and we all seem at a loss for solutions.</p>\n<p>Thailand is not immune to this kind of academic pressure. Take a look at this <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/health/184309/parents-warned-not-to-be-too-demanding\">recent article </a>from The Bangkok Post</p>\n<p>The last thing I want to hear about or see in Thailand are students hanging themselves because they have failed an exam. Fifteen year olds should not be hanging themselves or throwing themselves off apartment buildings whether it\'s because of a failed exam or a broken heart. Children do not fail in school; schools fail children. Students are not failing the educational system; the educational system is failing students, and failing them miserably.</p>\n<p>It is a miracle to me that many students do pass and do succeed, given the fact that so many teachers, administrators, principals, supervisors, and directors of studies have no idea how to teach students properly. Students do learn, they do succeed; not because of us, but in spite of us. In spite of our incompetence, in spite of our ignorance, in spite of our stupidity, in spite of a rigid structure that keeps students in chains, many students do succeed in school and in life. That, to me, is a living and breathing testament to the resilience, ambition, and potential of students everywhere.</p>\n<p>I must confess something here: I like to sit in the teacher\'s office and watch my fellow teachers, both foreigners and Thai, go through their student\'s workbooks to correct mistakes. As many as 75 to 100 workbooks are stacked in three or four piles on their desks. They will spend their lunch hour, (actually 50 minutes), pouring over them; some will remain at the desk long after the teaching day ends. Dedicated teachers? Yes. Inefficient teachers? Perhaps.</p>\n<p>I have never had stacks of workbooks on my desk to correct and I never will. Why? I have four Mathayom 4 (grade ten) classes of around 20 students each: M4/1, M4/2, M4/3, and M4/4. The first three classes I have put into groups of four, (a couple of groups have five students, and one group of three.) I have assigned each group a \"student-teacher.\" I have chosen the student-teachers based on several criteria, including their maturity level, their interest in learning, their social skills in how they relate to their classmates, ability to efficiently perform certain tasks, and their record of academic achievement. (Admittedly, it has taken me time to determine all this.)</p>\n<p>This is how it works: I have rules and I expect the students to follow them. Among the rules,</p>\n<p>1) You are responsible for your learning;<br />2) Work hard;<br />3) Be nice;<br />4) Be ready to begin learning before I come to class;<br />5) Always keep the classroom clean.</p>\n<p>Do my students always follow these rules? No, but we are working on it. I walk into class; I say good morning/afternoon. I take attendance. I usually, but not always I\'m afraid, write the class objectives and tasks of the day on the board. I then say, \"Teachers, stand up.\" All five of my student-teachers stand. I tell them to keep their students quiet. They do. We go over what we are going to do that class. When it comes time for the class to open their textbooks or do some exercises in their workbooks, they work together in their groups with the student-teachers at the helm. Whatever the students didn\'t understand from me, they will understand from the student-teachers. My students know that in my classes, we don\'t have one teacher and 20 students; we have 21 teachers; or to be more precise, six teachers and 15 students. We are all learning from each other, and we all take the time to teach one another.</p>\n<p>When the students finish the exercises in their book, the real fun begins; correction. I love this part of the class because it gives me the chance to see my educational philosophy of student cooperation in action. This will also tell you why there are no student workbooks on my desk. There are a few different ways I go about correcting the student\'s work depending on the time, the level of the students, or the particular dynamics of the class. This one seems to work best. I take a few moments to walk around the class and correct the exercises in the books of the student-teachers. Then the student-teachers correct the books of their students. As we all know, the propensity for Thai students to copy from each other is legendary. Not a day goes by where I don\'t catch a few in the act. They\'ll copy from each other even if the answers are wrong! As a teacher this behavior is maddening. Admittedly, this behavioral pattern will be very difficult to break, but I am working on it.</p>\n<p>Another way of correcting is to put five or six examples from the exercise on the board based around common errors, such as confusing the past simple with the past continuous or omitting articles like, &lsquo;a\' and &lsquo;the.\' As a teacher you have the option of pointing out the grammatical errors, or allowing the students, in their groups, to find the errors themselves. I prefer having the students find the errors, and then I have the student-teachers come up to the board and re-write the sentences. They then make the corrections in their own books and explain it to their students.</p>\n<p>Having stacks of the student\'s workbooks on teacher\'s desks and spending hours correcting them out of sight of each student, I must ask a couple of important questions: While the teacher is doing this, <br />1) What is each student learning?<br />2) Where is the responsibility given here for each student\'s own learning?</p>\n<p>Remember, we are not just teaching English; we are also teaching responsibility. Give students more responsibility, especially over something as vital as their learning, and most of them will show you that they are indeed responsible. By responsible, I mean \"able to respond\", which is the true meaning of responsibility. This, for the students, is a very important lesson in life. <br />Another way I am teaching the students to take more responsibility for their learning is through the development of effective reading strategies. For many of the students their reading comprehension and their ability to find answers to questions in reading exercises is very low. I noticed this a few months ago when students looked all over the page for an answer to a question they clearly didn\'t understand. So here is my effective reading strategy. All of my students know it and use it.</p>\n<p>1) Know it. (What is it? What do the words mean?)<br />2) Locate it. (Where is the answer approximately?)<br />3) Identify it. (Where exactly is the answer?)<br />4) Document it. (Write the answer.)</p>\n<p>I wrote this on the board. The students wrote it in their notebook. I went over it word for word. The students looked up the words they did not know in their dictionary. Now before every reading exercise I do this,<br />ME: Teachers, stand up. (They stand.) We are about to read a story from our book. So what will we do? (Dead silence from the students.) <br />Okay, so it\'s no perfected yet. Let\'s try it again.</p>\n<p>ME: Remember our effective reading strategy. What is number one? (The students furiously flip through their notebooks.) <br />STUDENTS: (A little shy.) Know it. <br />ME: Yes. What is \"know it?\"<br />STUDENTS: What is it? What do the words mean? <br />ME: Yes. What do the words in the questions mean? What\'s number two?<br />STUDENTS: Locate it.<br />ME: What is \"locate it?\" <br />STUDENTS: Where is the answer approximately?<br />ME: What is approximately? <br />STUDENTS: (They say it in Thai.)<br />ME: Good. Number three.<br />STUDENTS: Identify it.<br />ME: What is \"identify it?\"<br />STUDENTS: Where exactly is the answer.<br />ME: Good. And number four?<br />STUDENTS: Document it.<br />ME: What does that mean?<br />STUDENTS: Write the answer.<br />ME: Good. Teachers sit down and let\'s begin.</p>\n<p>Eventually I want the students to know this effective strategy inside out. I want them to recite it in their sleep. This strategy works not only for reading. A bit of tinkering and we can make it work for vocabulary and grammar exercises as well. Not to mention testing situations: Instead of students taking 30-40 minutes to do a reading exercise, with this strategy, many of them will get in done in less than half that time. The \"skimming and scanning\" technique is well utilized in this reading strategy. <br />The promise I have made to all my students is as simple as it is important. I will never treat them like children. They may be 15 or 16, but each one has a small adult in them just waiting to burst out. Each one is full of dreams, hopes, goals, and potential. Many times I have heard teachers ask in regards to their students \"Where do I begin?\"</p>\n<p>This is where I begin: I step into the classroom and the first thing I see is the student\'s potential. (Okay, sometimes I see empty plastic water bottles and crumpled up paper on the floor, but that gets cleaned up in a hurry after I give them the &lsquo;evil eye\' and remind them of the class rules.) I see their potential and I begin from there. I know where each of my students wants to be 10 years from now, and there is where I begin.</p>\n<p>During the first week of school I had all my students write me a letter telling me their future goals and dreams. On the back of that paper I had them draw a picture of their dream. \"Draw a picture of your future\", I told them. \"Show me your future and together we will work towards it.\"</p>\n<p>So they did. They drew beautiful pictures of themselves wearing doctor\'s uniforms, nurse\'s uniforms, businessmen carrying a briefcase, and of teachers standing in front of the classroom complete with a whiteboard and a wooden pointer. I look at those pictures every now and then as a reminder of why I am here and why my students are in my class. Periodically I remind the students of that as well.</p>\n<p>These groups with a student-teacher at the helm work quite well in my M4/1, M4/2, and M4/3 classes and with time, patience, and practice I am positive that the students will learn so much from each other. This, in my opinion and experience, is the natural way to learn. Unfortunately, we may have forgotten that important fact in Kindergarten. Children have a natural inclination to cooperate with one another. It is adults, parents and teachers who screw them up by having students compete with one another, often to the detriment of the most important of life\'s lessons: The reality that each and every student is special and unique; any competition that takes place in an educational setting, must be within each student, between their past performance and their present reality; between the person they once were and the person they will eventually become. Teachers have the added responsibility to discover this in each of their students. We have the added responsibility to behave responsibly and to teach responsibility. And we must see our students as people first, with all of their vulnerabilities and potential.</p>\n<p>I was reminded of this recently. It hit me square in the face when I least expected it. I stepped into my M4/4 class. This is my only class of the four which I have not yet put into groups with a student-teacher. They are not ready for it--- yet. Yes, some students must be left behind--- for now. When the students in M4/4 are ready to assume more responsibility for their learning, I will gladly give it to them. Although there are a few good students in my M4/4 class, many of them can scarcely speak a word of English; their listening skills are extremely low; ditto for the reading comprehension and writing ability. It\'s as if, as a group, they have given up. But I know that\'s not true. It\'s not that these students have given up; it\'s that people, (their past teachers?) have given up on them.</p>\n<p>Students know instinctively when their teachers don\'t care. But I do. I let them know everyday that I have not given up on them and I never will. Because they may not have had dedicated and caring teachers in the past, the students have rebelled; not against their teachers, but against a rigid and uncaring educational system; a system made up of people who don\'t care. Who can blame them? My goal is to get them back on track; to get them \"up to speed.\" I must first re-establish their trust. Before I can get them up to speed, I have to do something far more difficult: My goal is to make them fall in love with English. Through a combination of drilling exercises, communicative activities, journal writing, patience, and tough-love, these students will one day do better than anyone ever expected of them. They will surprise others, but more importantly, they will surprise themselves.</p>\n<p>I walked into my M4/4 class one afternoon recently and noticed that one of the students, a lovely 17 year old young lady, looked very sad. I saw the sadness in her eyes as she began arranging some of the desks and chairs. I asked her what was wrong. She looked at me and said, \"I miss my mom.\"</p>\n<p>I knew that she wasn\'t from Khon Kaen. Many of the students at my school live in the surrounding villages, while others are from towns or cities four or five hours away by bus. Some live with Thai teachers or guardians, while those not so lucky are on their own. \"You miss your mom?\" <br />\"Yes. I not see her for two years.\"</p>\n<p>That got to me. I could see the tears in her eyes and I tried desperately to hold back the tears from forming in my eyes. I lost my mother two years ago and the pain for me is still very real. I asked her where she lived. The city she named was about five hours away by bus. Five hours away and yet her mother had not made the trip to see her daughter in two years? Had not sent her money so that she can make the trip herself? I have no idea of the circumstances behind this, but it does sound strange. <br />\"Last night I cry. I cry a lot. I want to see my mom.\"</p>\n<p>As I write this, as I get ready for the next two weeks of speaking, listening, and grammar mid-term examinations, I can\'t stop thinking of my beautiful student who just wants to see her mom. Yes it\'s important that students take these exams; yes it\'s important that they pass these exams. After all, this is one of the reasons why I\'m doing this. I am doing this to see these students succeed; to become the doctors, lawyers, dentists, businessmen, and teachers that they drew for me.</p>\n<p>I am, however, asking myself this: What is the point of \"Little Somchai\" acing his mid-terms if he is going to grow up to be just another lazy drunk? What is the point of \"Lek\" studying so hard if she may be pulled from school and told to go to Pattaya in order to contribute to the family? What\'s the point of pushing students to study so much and so hard, that they end up hanging themselves or hurling themselves off 20 story apartment buildings? These are tough questions, certainly, but are we really doing students a favor by focusing almost exclusively on academics when a 17 year old cries herself to sleep at night because she just wants to see her mom?</p>\n<p>What the hell are we doing?</p>\n<p>I confess that I don\'t have all the answers here. This is Thailand. To many foreigners it is a strange country with a troubled past and some interesting traditions. Great food and beaches too. But I am a foreign English teacher not wishing to step on any cultural toes.</p>\n<p>The main thing that I can do is to see things this way: My students are students second. They are human beings first. They are human beings first because they have hopes and dreams. They are human beings first because they have plans and goals. They are human beings first because they have fears. They are human beings first because they want to be all they can be. They are human beings first because they have a family. They are human beings first because they really do want to please their teachers. And they are human beings first because they miss their mom. They miss their mom.</p>\n<p>I am afraid that as teachers we tend to focus on academics because when students do well it makes us look good; it makes us feel good. We pat ourselves on the back thinking that we really do make a difference. Fair enough. Let\'s admit that, then try and make things better for our students. It\'s time to make the students look good. It\'s time to see them as human beings first. Education is about life, not just school. Teachers can never see themselves as a success in the classroom until their students become successful human beings outside the classroom.</p>','','2010-07-11 02:54:11',1,'2010-07-11 02:54:11','2010-07-22 08:08:12'),(1919,59,'Hope for career shifters in Thailand','hope-for-career-shifters-in-thailand','How can talented teachers overcome a lack of opportunity?','There is a green pasture for teachers in Thailand especially for those who have extra qualifications or skill in accountancy, secretarial science, engineering, call center, computing, and other fields','<p>Nowadays, there is a dearth of teaching opportunities for non-native speakers in Thailand. How can a talented English teacher combat this? Is there hope for career shifters in Thailand?\"</p>\n<p>Lady used to send me inspiring quotes and last time she sent me one from Denis Whitley, a well known American motivational writer. Whitley\'s quotation gave me an idea on what to write for my next blog. Let me share it with you. \"The winners in life think constantly in terms of I can, I will, I am. Losers on the other hand, concentrate their waking thoughts on what they should have done, or what they can\'t do.\"</p>\n<p>Perhaps, just like any travel enthusiast, Lady had never dreamt of coming to Thailand. After graduation from college, while waiting for a teaching assignment in her hometown in the Philippines, she worked in a consultancy agency in Cebu. She was assisting people who got their visas for New Zealand when her friend\'s friend invited her, \"Lady, join us here in Thailand. It\'s a good place to stay, you know.\" Her friend\'s invitation kept haunting her. Other than that, she was also fascinated by nice stories she heard about the \"Land of Smiles\" so she finally decided to go.</p>\n<p>At first, Lady had some adjustment in language and food but as days went by she got used to them. Without much difficulty, she got her teaching job through an agency in two weeks. Her director was meticulous about dress, punctuality, preparation, and schedule; but she was able to keep up with them. However, after a year, because she failed to acquire a work permit and visa assistance, which the school promised to give her several times, she left mindful of the uncertainty of what the future might bring.</p>\n<p>It\'s still no joke applying for an English teaching job in Thailand, that time, although it was her second chance to do it. She did walk-ins and online applications. She admitted she tried ajarn too. For sometime, Luck was so elusive until the time came when she got a call from International Standard Organization based outside Bangkok. This organization evaluates reputable companies and issues certificates for those that can pass quality and environment management, as well as safety requirements in their jobsites. The work was entirely foreign to her, but with Denis Whitley\'s inspirational quotes, will, confidence, optimism and guts, she accepted it.</p>\n<p>What\'s so interesting about Lady\'s luck was that she had only worked for less than a week, yet she was already sent to Singapore for training. Being a fast learner, she quickly got to grips with the job. She had one problem though. Her company adopted a new system in its function, so she had to burn her midnight candle to learn the mechanics of the job. She did this through self- study with the help of manuals available. Another concern was her little knowledge of Thai. As the only Filipino in this prestigious company, with more than a hundred Thai staff, it was like working in a place where she didn\'t know anybody. Most of her colleagues refused to talk to her due to their inability to speak English.</p>\n<p>When asked if she was a winner, she answered with a smile, \"I guess, you can consider me a winner because of my family, my good position, a good paying job, and a promotion just around the corner.\" She also cited one achievement, \"I was able to make a difference in our workplace. In my company, there is now an ambiance of internationalism. It didn\'t take place overnight. I had to teach English classes on weekends to make my staff and other employees from other departments speak English.\" As a result one staff opined, \"Lady, if you were not here, we would not have spoken English because we didn\'t have any opportunity.\"</p>\n<p>In her third year at the company, she has grown professionally, has got a chance to travel to Singapore, Malaysia, and London, as well as has having obtained the privilege of rubbing shoulders with big-wig delegates coming from different countries for annual conferences in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Her advice to ajarn readers, \"Don\'t give up. Take the challenge, if you have the will. You can be a winner.\"</p>\n<p>With Lady\'s story, we can say that there is a green pasture for teachers in Thailand especially for those who have extra qualification or skill in accountancy, secretarial science, engineering, call center, computing, and other fields. Our talented teachers can try in other areas so that stiff competition in English teaching can be reduced. Moreover, it will open the door to bigger opportunities for those who really like to share their talents in Thailand. So anyone with extra skills, why not try, who knows? Just like Lady, you might be another lucky one.</p>','','2010-07-19 01:46:24',1,'2010-07-19 01:46:24','2010-07-19 16:04:25'),(1938,55,'Toastmasters international programs','toastmasters-international-programs','How teachers and students can benefit','In Toastmasters, when making a speech or acting as master of ceremonies (MC), we look for and comment on a speaker\'s ability to move comfortably and smoothly, with style and variety, from one part of a presentation to the next or from one speaker to the next.','<p>Held on Tuesday, 13 July, to allow some of our members an opportunity to recover from the late night World Cup Final, Thailand Educators Network members were introduced to Toastmasters International and how I, (Tim Cornwall - TEN Founder) have gained many benefits from this non-profit organization that helps people develop communication and leadership skills through public speaking.\n<p>While a number of topics were mentioned during my talk, I would like to share the following ideas that have helped my teaching the most...</p>\n<p>In Toastmasters, when making a speech or acting as master of ceremonies (MC), we look for and comment on a speaker\'s ability to move comfortably and smoothly, with style and variety, from one part of a presentation to the next or from one speaker to the next. Not only are smooth transitions important for an MC, but also for teachers, as verbal habits and routines can become very distracting, and even annoying, if they are continually repeated.</p>\n<h3>Don\'t jump, transition</h3>\n<p>Okay, let\'s get started. Many teachers use the word \"okay\" to ask students if they understand; to signal it\'s time to start something; time to stop doing something; to mark transitions from one activity to the next; to agree on something; and to comment on the quality of something.</p>\n<p>In short, over-and-over, \"okay\" is deployed for a variety of uses, and while the idea that one word can carry many different conversational meanings is a useful learning point for students, it can become very annoying.</p>\n<p>The first step in making better transitions is to stop using the word \"okay\". In class, begin by totally avoiding the word.</p>\n<p>Other options will appear, some of which might themselves become overly used - words such as \"ready\" come to mind.</p>\n<p>As you begin to experiment with words, see which ones you like and think it is easy and effective to use. In time, you should have a variety of words at your disposal and you can then return to \"okay\"\' now and then to add variety to your teaching arsenal.</p>\n<h3>Using questions</h3>\n<p>Students can be very sensitive to what we say. For example, one student asks a question and you reply, \"Good question\", but forget to say it with another student, therefore implying, of course, that the latter student\'s question was not a good question. Alternatively, if you use the words too often until you reply without thinking, like replying to a question like \"Can I go to the toilet?\" with \"Oh, good question.\"</p>\n<p>When answering questions, a starting point is to repeat it. Rephrase the question so that it is corrected if needed, change pronouns if you need time to think, or if the students are capable enough, rephrase it into reported speech.</p>\n<p>For example, to \"What did you do at the weekend?\" a reply might be \"What did I do at the weekend? On Friday, I went to Hua Hin and came back on Sunday.\" Another example is \"Do we have any homework for next week?\" A reply might be \"Lek has just asked me if you have homework for next week; no, you don\'t have any homework.\"</p>\n<h3>Using answers</h3>\n<p>It is also important to do the same with answers. With answers, try to avoid commenting on the quality of the answer and try not to repeat it.</p>\n<p>Ask for verification, and if it is a large class and some students may not have understood the answer, ask the same or a different student to repeat it.</p>\n<p>In addition, once this idea is introduced and students are comfortable with it, it allows the opportunity to avoid situations where we have no idea what a student has said. We can simply ask another student to repeat the answer and hope we can understand it this time, thereby saving the first student (and ourselves) any embarrassment.</p>\n<p>However, with answers, one method to avoid the \"good answer\" reply or parroting what has just been said is to suggest to the students what might be better if it is wrong or if it is correct, or ask a \"wh-\" question in reply, such as \"Where did you find that answer?\" or \"Why do you say that?\"</p>\n<p>Students might not attribute the teacher\'s versatile use of segues to being an effective teacher. However, if a few transitions are overly used, they may detract from the central message.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, English is a language that has rich vocabularies and many different ways to express ideas. Our goal is to expose students to the rich and varied selection of English vocabularies and enable them to create a smooth bridge between topics effectively.</p>\n<p>After all, variety provides us with one more opportunity to introduce our students to real English.</p>\n<h3>Removing verbal ticks</h3>\n<p>A new toastmaster completes ten projects to develop the basic skills needed to make a good speech. At this time, one major focus is to help speakers learn to drop annoying, and often very distracting, voiced pauses like \"uhmm\" and \"ahhh\", and other words or phrases that, through overuse, distract attention, like \"you know\", \"okay\", \"like\" and \"so\".</p>\n<p>It is very difficult to avoid \"verbal ticks\", and once one set is abolished, another set often appears. However, if they become distractions due to too many voiced pauses, or become overused expressions, they can take away from a teacher\'s core message and make it that much more difficult to help students learn.</p>\n<p>A basic teaching example of an overworked word is \"okay,\" used to mean, among other things, \"yes\", \"I understand\" and \"good\", and as a marker to signal moving from one thing to the next, as in \"Okay, class, let\'s move on to ... .\"</p>\n<p>If you have any doubts as to the extent to which voiced verbal pauses can distract from a message, compare live interviews on CNN - which are filled with voiced pauses - and those on BBC - which have relatively few. Then, record your own lesson and listen for any verbal ticks you might have that could be distracting from your message and work to remove them one by one.</p>\n<p>It will not be easy, but a key point to keep in mind is that when teaching, unvoiced pauses, while initially difficult to accomplish, have more impact, and unlike in a conversation, are not a turn-taking signal but rather a time for both you and the student to think about what you have just said.</p>\n<h3>The 70-30 rule</h3>\n<p>Even in an ideal world, where we talk 30 percent and students talk 70 percent, in a three-hour class, we may talk for almost an hour. If our talk includes nervous verbal and physical ticks that distract from our message, it should not be a mystery as to why some, if not all, of the students stop listening.</p>\n<h3>Evaluating student work</h3>\n<p>Another key idea for Toastmasters is to give effective evaluations that highlight a speaker\'s strengths using examples and to highlight what needs improving by offering concrete ideas that could prove useful.</p>\n<p>In making these evaluations, we use the \"sandwich method\": you did this well, this could be better, you did this well. If an evaluator follows this format and if concrete examples are provided for the strong points and concrete suggestions for a weak area, not only the individual being evaluated, but also other members of the audience/class benefit.</p>\n<p>To follow this pattern, find at least two strong points for every point the student could improve on. Experienced and comfortable using this format, I find students react very favourably to evaluations and are eager to try again as they know my evaluation will be pleasant and not painful. Too often in class, we focus on the negative and forget to praise students for the positive.</p>\n<p>By removing nervous verbal ticks and pauses, we can enhance the message students will hear, which can only be a plus. In addition, if students know that evaluations will praise and recommend ideas, and not criticise, my experience has been that they look forward to and actively seek evaluation opportunities.</p>\n<p>In addition, other students learn from what the speaker did well and can incorporate positive aspects while avoiding potential weaknesses mentioned about a previous speaker.</p>\n<p><strong>Next Month</strong> Thailand Educators Network welcomes Simon Gunn, from Channah Thailand who will be talking about:</p>\n<p><strong>Drug and alcohol abuse in Thailand - A primer for educators</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, 10 August 2010</strong></p>\n<p>► Simon Gunn, from <a href=\"http://www.channahthailand.com\">Channah Thailand</a> will be discussing their school program aimed at empowering students to make healthy decisions as well as educating them about the harms and effects of drug and alcohol abuse.</p>\n<p>► During his talk, he will provide details about alcohol and drug abuse problems in Thailand and provide insights into how their program helps to build student resistance to influences that encourage drug abuse and to promote safe, healthy and responsible attitudes while correcting mistaken beliefs and assumptions about drugs and alcohol.</p>\n<p>► Simon will also be providing some tips and advice, based on their training program, on how to recognize problems or potential problems so that teachers can take an early proactive approach when they see a potential problem developing.</p>\n<p>► Opened in April 2008, Channah Thailand is the first Western style Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Clinic in Asia.

He\'ll probably be able to lease these units out for approximately 12,000 baht each and this will cover the mortgage he obtained in his Thai wife\'s name','<p>Whilst starting to write this article, in fact even when devising this article, I am imagining many of you will be rolling your eyes thinking &lsquo;I\'m on a teacher\'s salary how does this writer expect me to invest in a property in Bangkok?\' Well that might be your first thought, but I have met quite a few farang teachers in Bangkok who have either bought their own property to live in or even as an investment on a buy-to-let basis.\n<p>Firstly let\'s look at basics, for those that have never looked into such an idea, what are the best avenues that are presented to you in the&nbsp;Thailand property market?</p>\n<p>Buying property for a foreigner in Thailand is not quite as easy as buying property for a Thai in most of our countries. Certainly in the UK where I come from, we openly welcome foreign buyers and I understand at present many wealthy Greeks are buying up property London. But in the recent past it has been Russians that have been buying up property in London, proving you don\'t have to be an EU citizen to have property rights in the UK.</p>\n<p>In Thailand though it is a little more difficult and buying land, detached houses or even townhouses is difficult, and somewhat discouraged by the Thai authorities. For a start you will need to either buy it 100% in a trusted Thai person\'s name, like your spouse, or form a company that you can own 49% of and purchase the property through that. However with 30 year land leases and business taxes upon selling the property, this is neither the securest or cheapest way to own property in Thailand.</p>\n<p>So that leaves you with condos, and these present not only the safest and most practical way to buy property in Thailand, but also often the cheapest as studio condos can start at just 25sqm in size and when you are buying by the sqm, then costs are obviously reduced. For more information on buying a condo in Thailand, please see this <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/how-can-a-foreigner-buy-a-condo-in-thailand/\">previous blog</a>:</p>\n<p>So now we are concentrating on purchasing condos, a form of property that you can own 100% in your name, and at a reasonable cost. As you will be owning this property as an individual and not a corporation, you will not be subject to business tax upon purchase or sale.</p>\n<p>So now, the following questions are outstanding:</p>\n<p><strong>1. Where to buy?<br />2. What to buy?<br />3. What are other farang teachers buying?</strong></p>\n<p>Well for the answers to these questions I\'m going to lean towards buying Bangkok condos for investment and not really for buy-to-live. The reason for this is that those that buy-to-live do so not only for economic and practical reasons, but often for emotional reasons and this can often be the overriding factor. If I was to speculate on the emotional reasons for buying one condo or another, then we could go on all day.</p>\n<p><strong>Where to buy?</strong></p>\n<p>As I have little or no experience of buying, renting or selling condos outside of Bangkok -&nbsp;except for one time buying and selling a condo in Hua Hin -&nbsp;I\'m going to stick to Bangkok. Not only is this the area I\'m most knowledgeable on, but also it is the largest single property market in Thailand, and the fastest moving, meaning that you will have more chance of renting out your property or making a decent profit on it when you come to sell it.</p>\n<p>And to focus in further, rather than buy around the suburbs or outskirts on Bangkok, it is better to focus on the city center and more specifically the MRT and BTS routes. It is more than likely that if you are buying to let, then your tenants will be foreign and they often want to live within easy travel or even walking distance of a train station. If you are buying to live, then again much the same applies, you or your spouse or friends probably want to have the convenience of getting about on the train easily, and with an average of 2.5mins travelling time per stop, both the BTS and MRT beat Bangkok traffic almost 365 days of the year.</p>\n<p>Of course most train lines run along the Silom, Sukhumvit, Sathorn, and Ratchadaphisek roads, and not only have these area proved to be perennial favorites for expats living in Thailand, but have of course also become the focus for large amounts of&nbsp;condo construction over the last 5-10 years.</p>\n<p>By buying in these areas you are practically guaranteeing the future occupants of your Bangkok condo the convenience of the train and also&nbsp;international outlets such as shops, restaurants, bars and cinemas. Not to mention hospitals with English speaking staff, a major concern for retirees looking to live and rent in Bangkok.</p>\n<p><strong>What to buy?</strong></p>\n<p>Well of course this is often dictated primarily by what level of investment you can or want to make. But I just want to make one point here, if you have enough money to buy either 2 smaller units or 1 larger then always choose the smaller units, and in particular studios.</p>\n<p>In recent times there has been a large reduction in the amount of well paid expats in Bangkok living on large salaries and expenses packages. This is not just true of the West, but also of Japanese and Korean expats. A combination of political unrest, competition from SE Asian neighbors and higher degrees of competency amongst Thai management staff has meant&nbsp;a reduction in the&nbsp;need for international companies to employ expensive expats.</p>\n<p>In fact, although I certainly do not claim to be an expert on the teaching world of Thailand, it was interesting to note that during the recent political unrest involving the Red-Shirts,&nbsp;quite a number of expats returned home and many companies closed their Bangkok or Thai branches. But teachers were still gaining emploment and this industry proved to be remarkably resilient. I think it is safe to say given the percentage of Thais that can speak a high level of English, coupled with the regular growth in Thailand\'s GDP, that teachers and language teachers are going to remain in demand and the industry will grow in the decades to come.</p>\n<p>If I had been writing this article 3-4 years ago, I would have immediately suggested that you buy off-plan as the best deals could be found in this market. However times have changed and so to has the market. Now often the best deals can be found upon building completion, i.e. resale units!</p>\n<p>With many a Thai and foreign speculator being caught our by changing economic conditions, a good quality agent can help you find a deal where the original owner has to sell fast to avoid losing the money they have deposited, which is often a substantial 25 - 30% of the value of the property. And of course in addition to taking a bargain, you have the security of knowing the building is complete and can assess the quality of both the condo unit and the building in general, something a person buying off-plan cannot do.</p>\n<p>So in terms of property, that means that a safe market to aim for is housing for&nbsp;teachers. Therefore buying attractive well located and well facilitated studio condos is a market worth aiming for.</p>\n<p><strong>What are other teachers buying?</strong></p>\n<p>Well basically they are buying what has been described above in areas such as Ratchada, On Nut and Thonburi, where less expensive units can be found, within 100 - 200m of a new BTS or MRT station.</p>\n<p>One teacher I was recently talking to who lives and works in Sukhumvit, has recently bought&nbsp;two studios, off-plan in his case, within 50m of the On Nut station. He understands that he\'ll probably be able to lease these units out for approximately 12,000 baht&nbsp;each and this he tells me will cover the mortgage he obtained in his Thai wife\'s name. As a young married couple, these properties managed correctly should provide a decent and strong investment over the coming years. And as land prices, building material prices and inevitably labor costs increase, the price of their property will increase whilst it\'s being paid off for them by their tenants.</p>\n</p>','','2010-07-23 04:13:29',1,'2010-07-23 04:13:29','2010-07-23 18:06:30'),(1972,108,'Getting claims paid','getting-claims-paid','Three types of health insurance buyer','As a rule, there really are no good or bad companies when it comes to paying claims, although some are a little better than others.

They are shocked when they learn that it won\'t. Some get quite angry at the insurance company. (One called me from the hospital the day after he had submitted his application and wanted to know where his hospital card was. He had scheduled himself for an operation even before he had submitted his insurance application).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3. Fraudulent. These buyers knowingly lie on their application in order to be covered for treatment of medical problems they know they already have. What they don\'t realize, though, is that the insurance company will usually discover their lie when the insured seeks treatment for that medical problem, or even seeks treatment for an unrelated, legitimate medical problem. (Just this year, 2 of our insureds\' policies were cancelled when they sought treatment for serious medical problems that they had tried to hide; and, another insured had a number of new exclusions added to his nearly 2 year old policy).</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In order to help guard against high losses, insurance companies hire people called underwriters to screen applications looking for pre-existing medical conditions that could eventually cost the company a lot of money in medical claims. They rely on the honesty of the applicants to do their job. The fraudulent applicants normally slip through this screening.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The insurance companies, though, still have 2 years from the time of application to find and exclude any <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.com/health-insurance-plans/pre-existing/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>pre-existing conditions</span></a> that the applicant was unaware of or had lied about. After that, only serious cases of fraud provide grounds for rejecting claims for treatment of medical conditions not already excluded in the policy..</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The people hired to evaluate and approve medical claims are called claims adjusters. One of their responsibilities is to help save the insurance company money by spotting \"red flags\" that warn of possible fraudulent claims. Their job is to make certain that the insurance company does not pay out any more than it is required to in accordance with the insurance contract. On a more positive note, though, their job is also to process the claims as speedily and efficiently as possible</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Claims adjusters can tend to be very cynical people, constantly on the lookout for red flag warnings. If they allow invalid claims to be paid, though, they will needlessly cost the insurance company money. This cost (along with rising medical care costs) will be passed on by the insurance company to its population of insureds in the form of higher premiums</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Fortunately, most insurance claims are speedily processed without any problem. Insurance companies tend to pride themselves on this. But, if a red flag pops up during the claim process, watch out! Expect delay.</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For more information on health insurance plans in Thailand, please feel free to reach out to <a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>Pacific Prime Thailand Insurance Brokers</span></a>, or email Walter directly at <a href=\"mailto:walter@pacificprime.com\"><span>walter@pacificprime.com</span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p></p>','','2018-07-16 01:51:00',1,'2016-07-16 01:51:19','2018-09-27 21:28:30'),(2052,53,'Pros and cons of teaching English','pros-and-cons-of-teaching-english','It\'s all about the trade-offs','If one has a strong case of wanderlust, teaching English can be your ticket to getting paid to travel to world, or it can allow one to follow one’s significant other to different locations and still find work. ','<p>On thing that life teaches us is the need for tradeoffs. Choosing one path to follow requires rejecting others. In economics it is often called opportunity costs, and the \"real\" cost of something is what one gives up to get it.\n<p>When thinking about starting a career as an overseas English teacher, one should look at the opportunity costs and weigh the benefits against the costs. There are many upsides of becoming an English teacher, and there are a number of downsides as well. The following is a subjective list of some of the pros and cons of choosing to teach English in foreign lands.</p>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>1. Feasible. There are no special skills or training required. For native English speakers, it is a fairly easy profession to move into. For non-native speakers, having the ability to speak, read and write a foreign language to the level needed to teach it requires a very special skill, but for the native English speaker having a good understanding of one\'s own mother tongue is the primary requirement. Having a higher educational degree is often desired, but there are many people teaching English both inside and outside of Thailand without this or any other real qualification.</p>\n<p>To get started there is no long apprenticeship or lengthy training involved (although there is a continuous debate about the effectiveness of a teacher with little or no training). Even becoming a \"qualified\" teacher generally requires only a few weeks of training. Midlife career changers do not have unlimited options. Changing from one\'s existing career to becoming a medical doctor, airline pilot or professional athlete is very difficult or nearly impossible, yet the option to become an English teacher after being laid off or just being fed up with one\'s existing profession is a real possibility.</p>\n<p>2. Mobility. If one has a strong case of wanderlust, teaching English can be your ticket to getting paid to travel to world, or it can allow one to follow one\'s significant other to different locations and still find work. One can move from Brazil one year to China the next and still make a living. And there is not just geographic mobility, there is also job mobility. If one is living in a major city there are usually many employment options available for English teachers and one does not have to put up with poor working conditions for long as new opportunities arise rather frequently.</p>\n<p>3. Low stress. I realize \"low\" is a relative term, but compared to working in the corporate world, teaching English normally doesn\'t put on one the same pressure to perform. One is expected to do a \"good\" job, but there are few mistakes an English teacher can make that will cause any serious harm or can not be fixed. Once one has the basics of the job down and is considered competent, one does not have to be overly concerned with having a single bad lesson or making a mistake or two.</p>\n<p>4. Independence. I know there are exceptions, but in many (most?) cases English teachers have quite a bit of freedom in designing and delivering lessons. This can really make the job more interesting and one can often put some of one\'s own ideas and personality into the job.</p>\n<p>5. Feel good factor. There are few people in the world who would question the value of education. Being a teacher, usually in a very small way, is about helping people to grow and gain useful skills and knowledge. There is nothing ever to be ashamed of in telling others one is a teacher. Being an educator does not generally bother one\'s conscience. Compare being an educator to working in a boiler room attempting to cheat little old ladies out of their life savings; a person in which job is likely to sleep better at night?</p>\n<p><strong>But of course, there are downsides as well.</strong></p>\n<p>1. Low pay. Being in education as a whole is not a path to riches, and this is especially true in teaching English in developing or middle income economies such as Thailand. In choosing this career path one should be aware of the limited income potential.</p>\n<p>2. Low status. A least in the ex-pat community, being an English teacher is generally not considered a professional position. Whether this is a fair assessment or just a reflection of human nature which makes us seek out people to look down upon to make ourselves feel better is open to debate. However the fact remains being an English teacher is unlikely to impress many people.</p>\n<p>3. Lack of opportunities for career growth. Although there are a few Head Teacher or DOS positions available, in general an English teacher with one year experience and one with 20 years experience are treated more or less the same with little difference in pay scales.</p>\n<p>4. Lack of intellectual stimulation. While the job can be quite exciting at first, soon it may become routine. Although there are individuals who find obscure grammar questions exciting, for most people the subject matter being taught is not all that fascinating. Although there are always opportunities to learn new presentation techniques, most people can only get excited and come up with a new way to explain went is the past tense of go so many times.</p>\n<p>5. Lack of transferable skills. Having 2 or 3 years of English teaching on your CV in your early 20s before landing one\'s first entry level job is unlikely to be looked down upon, in fact it could be considered an advantage, especially if the teacher takes advantage of the opportunity to learn to local language. Or a person who worked as an English teacher for a few years while accompanying a spouse on a foreign assignment might be demonstrating a strong work ethic. However, 10 to 15 years of recent English teaching experience is unlikely to be the background most corporations will be looking for when selecting middle managers. There are some soft skills gained from teaching English, such as improved writing skills, increased self-confidence and presentation skills, but these soft skills without specific professional skills and recent specific experience are usually not enough to land another type of professional position.</p>\n<p>While teaching English with the type of salary that comes with it might satisfy ones need at a certain time of life, it might not satisfy one\'s needs later in life. It has been observed many people who have been teaching English for many years get caught in a trap where the only choices are to continue teaching English or completely start over in mid-life. There is a big difference between teaching English for a year or two in one\'s youth or doing it during semi-retirement and attempting to make a career out of teaching English. The disgruntled and disillusioned middle aged English teacher with few career options is a bit of a stereotype, but these types of individual are not impossible to locate.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Choosing to or not to teach English in foreign lands requires trade-offs, and it will be the right decision for some and the wrong one for others. But before one makes the decision, one should weigh the pros and cons and probable outcomes that will come with the decision.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2010-08-02 08:25:26',1,'2010-08-02 08:25:26','2010-08-02 22:10:27'),(2086,21,'An English teacher and proud','an-english-teacher-and-proud','Do those who don\'t teach English in Thailand look down on those that do?','What do expats who work in Thailand but don\'t teach English think of us teachers? Are we ridiculed when out of earshot or do even the high-flyers afford us maximum respect. An invitation to a business networking evening and a chance to really find out.','<p>One question often asked by the more sensitive English teacher in Thailand is - are we looked down upon by other expatriates? Do those who don\'t teach English for a living sneer and jeer at those who do?</p>\n<p>Then with perfect timing, an invitation to a business networking evening pops through the letterbox. It was time to find out.</p>\n<h3>Oh no, not again</h3>\n<p>I don\'t do networking evenings as a rule - especially networking evenings in Bangkok. You only need to attend several of these events to realize it\'s the same old faces handing out the same old business cards.</p>\n<p>And let\'s face it - were it not for the free food and wine, the vast majority wouldn\'t be battling through monsoon rains anyway - certainly not to shake hands with complete strangers and discuss who lives in the nicest apartment.</p>\n<p>I\'m probably not the most approachable person in the world (or so my wife tells me) - and that\'s always a huge disadvantage to a networker -&nbsp;but I did once get collared by a chatty Indian fellow at a networking evening off Silom Road.</p>\n<p>He&nbsp;shook my hand and before I even had chance to tell him my name, he\'d told me what business he was in, his plans for expansion, his analysis of the company balance sheet and a small problem they had with pilfering from the staff canteen.</p>\n<p>After twenty very long minutes of nodding and inserting \"really?\" during appropriate pauses, my brain shut down and my eyelids started to feel like two lead weights. I\'m still not sure how I managed to get away from him but make my escape I did.</p>\n<h3>Mission</h3>\n<p>I was determined that this time would be different. I wouldn\'t just stand there and wait for boring people to sidle up to me by the vol-au-vents. I wouldn\'t stare into empty space and become a target for the socially inept to make idle chit-chat over the curry puffs.</p>\n<p>This time I was a man on a mission. To find out what your average high-flying expat thinks of us TEFLers. And here was the perfect opportunity.</p>\n<p>So it\'s 7.30pm in an unremarkable Irish pub off Sukhumwit Road. The networking evening is in full swing. At a glance there are about thirty to forty willing souls all ready to offer me their opinions on English teachers.</p>\n<p>Perhaps these conversations might even lead to a job offer? They might also lead to insults. I might even get thrown out.</p>\n<h3>Trevor</h3>\n<p>I decided to play it safe and start with a navy blue suit standing on the other side of the room. Safe inasmuch as I had chatted to Trevor before. I knew he was a financial consultant of some description and I knew he spent a lot of time in Hong Kong.</p>\n<p>After the obligatory opening exchange of \"look what the cat dragged in?\" I asked Trevor his opinion on English teachers. He thought hard about the question. \"Well I suppose everyone\'s got to make a living. It\'s not my idea of a good time because I imagine it would be a bloody hard job\"</p>\n<p>I wanted to know how many of Trevor\'s friends were English teachers? How many of us had penetrated his intimate circle?</p>\n<p>\"I tend to hang around with financial people and investment people most of the time. I\'ve got friends who have been English teachers for a time but they\'ve all gone on to better things\"</p>\n<p>Ah, Trevor lets the cat out the bag. \"Gone on to better things\" It\'s Trevor telling me that English teaching is a shit job.</p>\n<p>Time to mingle.</p>\n<h3>The Thai recruitment lady</h3>\n<p>I spot a middle-aged Thai lady daintily placing tuna sandwiches on a paper plate with a pair of tongs. She\'s wearing a very expensive-looking Thai silk suit and I squeeze in next to her.</p>\n<p>\"These look nice\" I said. Here I go again - the king of the chat-up line. What am I like?</p>\n<p>Within minutes we\'re getting on like a wooden Thai house on fire.</p>\n<p>She\'s the director of an exclusive recruitment agency that supplies multinational companies with quality Thai management staff. I fake interest until eventually she asks what I do for a living.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m an English teacher\" I reply, hoping my tone of voice doesn\'t make me appear ashamed.</p>\n<p>Her eyes instantly light up. Apparently just about every member of her family tree - and it\'s a hell of a tree - is looking for an English teacher to study with. \"Good private teachers are so difficult to find\" she says.</p>\n<p>I get a feeling it\'s because none of the family has ever bothered looking.</p>\n<p>Thais always do this. You get chatting to people who are on the lookout for private tuition, tell them you\'re a chalkie, and suddenly they\'ve signed up the whole family for English lessons with you.</p>\n<p>Phone numbers are scribbled out on pieces of paper with the promise of &lsquo;I will call you\'.</p>\n<p>Six months later, desperate and starving, you dial the potential student\'s number with pipe-cleaner thin fingers and it takes them ten minutes to realize who you are.</p>\n<p>I never actually exchanged phone numbers with this particular lady but between mouthfuls of tuna sandwich, she did give me an in-depth analysis of the failings of the Thai education system.</p>\n<p>When she said that what Thailand needed was more and more foreign teachers, I could have hugged her.</p>\n<p>Now here\'s a woman who appreciates what we do.</p>\n<h3>John</h3>\n<p>I spied another lost soul standing by the fire exit. He looks desperate to get involved so I walk over to him with the Thai recruitment director immediately deciding she wants to come too.</p>\n<p>I offer my handshake and blurt out \"Look at you standing there smoldering with your gypsy good looks\" Yes, I know there are better approaches but as I mentioned before - I\'m hopeless at this networking lark.</p>\n<p>John is in the real estate business. He whips out a business card so fast I can\'t fail to be impressed. Talk about the fastest gun.&nbsp;If this had been Billy the Kid in a showdown at Dry Gulch, half a dozen ranch hands would be dragging my wounded ass into the saloon.</p>\n<p>As it is, I get a blow-by-blow account of how Bangkok\'s condominium market is going to develop over the next ten years.</p>\n<p>Does John think that it\'s a property bubble that will eventually burst? Which areas will become the most desirable? Eventually I run out of questions because frankly, I couldn\'t give a shit. I want to know what John thinks of English teachers.</p>\n<p>John says that communication with his Thai staff is always difficult so he has nothing but praise for foreigners helping Thais to reach English fluency.</p>\n<p>Get in there! Chalk one up for the teachers.</p>\n<p>By this time, the Thai recruitment woman has wandered off to find someone more interesting. I\'m all alone in a room full of people socializing without me.</p>\n<h3>Lloyd and Mike</h3>\n<p>There are business people sharing jokes and giving each other hearty backslaps. I\'m very much alone and back at square one. I spot a couple of suits guzzling the complimentary red wine. It\'s time to be really daring and ask two strange men if they\'re up for a threesome.</p>\n<p>Lloyd and Michael are only too happy to let me invade their personal space and engage in mundane tittle-tattle. They are both directors at a well-known printing and media company on the outskirts of Bangkok - so well known that I\'ve never heard of it.</p>\n<p>But the business cards are certainly impressive. They\'re a couple of fun guys but I bring the evening down by telling them I teach English. The silence is like you get in those few seconds just before a guillotine drops.</p>\n<p>\"There can\'t be much money in that game\" says Lloyd</p>\n<p>\"Oh teachers can earn 50,000 in a good month\" I reply.</p>\n<p>Lloyd and Mick look at each other quizzically. Did he just say 50,000 baht a month? How do they afford the luxury weekends away or the membership fees at The British Club?</p>\n<p>I tell them that 50,000 can afford you a good standard of living in Bangkok but they look remarkably unconvinced. In this threesome I\'m suddenly the odd man out.</p>\n<p>I\'m about as welcome as the wino who\'s emerged from his cardboard box, draped&nbsp;his arms around them with a breath reeking of methylated spirits - and then accidentally relieved&nbsp;himself down their trouser legs.</p>\n<p>Time to up my game and work the room.</p>\n<h3>Albert</h3>\n<p>I\'ve got nothing but respect for Albert. Probably in his late 70s, this boy\'s been around the block and I\'ve been watching him work the room like everybody\'s favorite uncle.</p>\n<p>When our paths finally cross and he finds out I\'m an English teacher, he brims with enthusiasm.</p>\n<p>\"If only I had my time again. That\'s something I would really love to do. What is there not to admire. You can travel the world and work at the same time. Wherever you lay your hat and all that. Look at all the wonderful experiences you are getting out of life instead of being some corporate slave until the day you die. Yes, I can certainly see the attraction in teaching English\"</p>\n<p>I decided I liked Albert. Very much in fact.</p>\n<p>There was suddenly a collective but suppressed expression of delight as the caterers brought out the desserts. Fancy meringue nests with nubbins of fresh mango jostled for room on the cake stand with slices of blueberry cheesecake and apple tartlets dusted with a hint of cinnamon.</p>\n<p>I might not be going home with a single decent business contact but I\'m sure as Hell going home with a bellyful of pudding.</p>\n<h3>Mr Singh</h3>\n<p>As I become gloriously lost in a world of bite-size marshmallows smothered in chocolate fondue, there\'s a tap on my shoulder and an Indian gentleman asking where he\'s seen me before.</p>\n<p>He\'s either genuinely friendly or it\'s a clever ruse to try and grab the last meringue nest so I stick my elbow out to block his path. That meringue nest has got a name on it and it\'s certainly not Singh.</p>\n<p>I tell my new friend that most Indian strangers I encounter are usually fortune tellers or tailor\'s shop touts. I laugh out loud at my own observations but he doesn\'t seem to appreciate the humour. I get the impression he thinks I\'m a bit of a prat.</p>\n<p>But I ask his opinion of English teachers anyway.</p>\n<p>He immediately reaches for The Mahatma Gandhi Book of Quotations\' - all memorized. I forget those nuggets of wisdom word for word but the gist was that \'to be an educator was indeed a man\'s greatest calling\'.</p>\n<p>\"Now let me tell you a little bit about what my company does and where we hope to be in the next ten or twenty years\"</p>\n<p>I put a restraining hand on the Indian gentleman\'s arm and ask him to excuse me while I pay a visit to the little boy\'s room.</p>\n<p>It was either that or feign a heart attack.</p>\n<h3>Gemma</h3>\n<p>When I emerged from the gents - wiping my moist hands on my buttocks in the way that working classes tend to do - I noticed a tall, elegant, blonde&nbsp;lady&nbsp;getting stuck into a pint of Guinness and licking her moustache between sips.</p>\n<p>No,&nbsp;she wasn\'t of course. She held a glass of the house white with immaculately manicured fingers, playfully pulling at her hair with the other hand.</p>\n<p>I just had to talk to her even though I\'m \'knocking on a bit\' and I\'ve never been comfortable approaching the gentler sex and making conversation.</p>\n<p>It\'s a problem I\'ve had since........since........well.......let me see..........since I was born really.</p>\n<p>You have to put your natural shyness aside at times like this when you are taking part in a social experiment. I always give myself a pep talk and ask one simple question - what could be the worst possible outcome?</p>\n<p>OK, she could throw a glass of wine over me, shout &lsquo;Rape!\' and I\'d be wrestled to the floor by security staff and wake up among a pile of black refuse bags and food scraps at the back of the establishment. But let\'s approach things in a more positive frame of mind.</p>\n<p>Gemma (what else could it be) was actually frightfully good company. She worked in the graphics department for several top magazines, holidayed in exotic places and knew every decent Italian restaurant in town.</p>\n<p>As my father would say, she was a woman from \'good class kennels\' Lo and behold, she\'d even done a bit of English teaching herself.</p>\n<p>\"Oh I know first-hand how difficult teaching English can be. I have nothing but admiration for guys who can walk into a room of ten screaming kids and get them to learn something. There\'s absolutely no shame in being a teacher\"</p>\n<p>These were words I so longed to hear. I was really warming to Gemma - starting to fall for her even.</p>\n<p>Rather like that scenario that plays out on the cover of brochures for new condominiums, I imagined the two of us flirting playfully on her high-rise balcony with pastel colored sweaters draped over our shoulders, a pre-dinner aperitif in our hands, and me pointing out a distant firework display.</p>\n<p>But away with such small talk. Get a grip of yourself boy. You are an English teacher. Only in fairy tales do guys like you cop off with such fair maidens.</p>\n<h3>Rick</h3>\n<p>I was determined not to get sidetracked so I talked to Rick.</p>\n<p>Rick was American. A bear of a man, he almost ripped my arm out of its socket with the heartiest of handshakes.</p>\n<p>Americans were made for networking events. They just look so comfortable with it. I\'m British. We\'re hopeless at it. We haven\'t even got the weather as a small talk option because the weather isn\'t a discussion topic here.</p>\n<p>It\'s no good saying \"weather\'s been hot again today\" or \"they say there might be rain this coming rainy season\" because folks look at you as if you\'ve just managed to give your carer the slip.</p>\n<h3>The Scotsman</h3>\n<p>I remember years ago in a small expat beer-bar off Rama Four road. I was sitting on a bar-stool next to a hard-drinking Scotsman.</p>\n<p>There were just the two of us enjoying some light mid-afternoon refreshment when suddenly the heavens opened and we were treated to the mother of all tropical downpours.</p>\n<p>Eager to make some attempt at conversation with the Scotsman, I said \"just look at that come down\" He fixed me with a steely glare and replied with \"Well it aye gonna f***ing go up is it?\"</p>\n<p>Since that day I refuse to use the weather as an opening conversational gambit.</p>\n<p>Back to Rick the American, who incidentally had been posted here in Thailand as an advisor for the oil industry. He didn\'t know too much about the TEFL industry in Thailand but still had an opinion.</p>\n<p>\"I hear there\'s a lot of you guys out here\" he said. \"Sounds like a pretty worthwhile job to me. You guys are doing a heck of a lot for the future of Thailand. That can only be a good thing\"</p>\n<h3>A sense of pride</h3>\n<p>I left the networking event feeling rather pleased. OK I had only talked to a very small cross section of the &lsquo;non-teaching expat community\' but by and large, they respected what teachers do here.</p>\n<p>So next time you are sitting on a crowded sky-train. Delve into your back-pack and whip out your course textbook.</p>\n<p>Go on. Flick through the pages with a theatrical flap. Look at the passengers around you and when one eventually makes eye contact, say it loud and say it proud. <strong>\"I\'m an English teacher you know\"</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/toff1.jpg','2014-08-05 00:59:28',1,'2014-08-05 00:59:28','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2089,4,'The Mismeasure of Thais','the-mismeasure-of-thais','Teachers rarely take the blame for students constantly failing exams.','It is not the students’ fault that they are failing tests and exams.  All students want to pass.  They simply don’t know how since most teachers have never taught their students how to study effectively and to recognize the pitfalls of taking tests and examinations.  ','<p>This blog is predicated upon three external and indisputable truths:\n<p>1) Numbers don\'t lie; people do.<br />2) Students do not fail educational methods and systems; educational methods and systems fail students. <br />3) No one, with the exception of the parents, knows their students better than their teachers.</p>\n<p>These three premises will lead me to the conclusion as to why many students fail tests and examinations. And it is not their fault. Let me say that again. It is not the students\' fault that they are failing. All students want to pass. They simply don\'t know how since most teachers have never taught their students how to study effectively and to recognize the pitfalls of taking tests and examinations.</p>\n<h3>SYSTEMS and METHODS:</h3>\n<p>Throughout history people have created systems, methods, and ideologies, for all sorts of reasons: To make our lives easier; to facilitate the day to day activities of our existence; and even to change the world. We have created all sorts of systems, methods, and \"isms\"--political, social, religious, and educational. We join social movements, political groups, think tanks, and study groups. We even attend seminars and conferences. We do this because we think we can change things for the better. And sometimes we do: Every once in a while, we actually get things right.</p>\n<p>But ironically, there are times when our attempt to create a system or a method to make things easier for us and for others becomes the very same system or method that fails us and oppresses us. The sad thing about this is that it doesn\'t have to be that way. The educational system and more specifically, how we choose to teach English as a foreign language is a perfect example of how our methods of teaching are failing the very same people it was meant to help.</p>\n<p>Just about every school in Thailand, whether a government school, a bilingual school, a language school, or a Catholic school, has the same problems: An administration that wants to do as little work as possible; a preponderance of foreign teachers who are here mainly for the work visa and the nightlife; foreign supervisors on power trips; too many uncooperative Thai teachers resentful that the foreign teachers are earning four or five times what they are; and a lethargic student population that can sense these problems from 100 kilometers away and responds accordingly.</p>\n<h3>WHY STUDENTS FAIL:</h3>\n<p>As we educators all know, there are a multitude of reasons why some students fail tests and exams. I myself was never very good at them. Some students don\'t memorize things very well. Others don\'t study as much or as hard as they should. The textbook may be above the student\'s level. Perhaps the teacher didn\'t prepare the students as well as should be expected. Most of the students who have failed are probably asking themselves, \"What\'s wrong with me? Am I stupid or something?\" I don\'t believe that these questions can be applied to most Thai students.</p>\n<p>Far better questions to ask are,</p>\n<p>1) What is wrong with a system that would allow 40 or 50 percent (or more) of the students to fail an English test?</p>\n<p>2) What is wrong with the school\'s method or way of teaching that would allow for such a high failure rate?</p>\n<p>While I fully realize that there will always be students who fail, some by their own fault, the major and primary responsibility of a school is to ensure that as many students as possible pass. If the failure rate is consistently 40 percent or higher, then it is not only the students who look bad and incompetent. We must allow ourselves to look at this situation that we created as unnecessary, the method as unjust, the institution full of folly, incompetence, and perhaps, bitter political partisanship, and the system in desperate need of repair or transformation.</p>\n<p>Over and over again I have heard foreign teachers say, \"Oh those dumb Thais. They couldn\'t pass an English grammar test if their lives depended on it.\" Over and over again in several teacher\'s rooms, I have heard foreign teachers ridicule their students\' answers on exams, as if mastering the differences in usage between the past simple and the past continuous were the easiest thing in the world. Over and over again I have heard the condescending laughter of foreign teachers as they read the writing portion of those examinations. I would love to see these teachers attempt to write in Thai! Now that would be something to laugh about.</p>\n<p>Of course none of these teachers ever blame themselves. The administration never views itself as part of the problem. The Thai and foreigners in positions of power and authority would never admit, let alone perceive, that perhaps it is their policies or flawed methods that are responsible for an abnormally high failure rate among the students. Lek and Somchai failed because they are stupid, not because they didn\'t understand or were not interested in the material.</p>\n<p>I mean come on, what Thai high school student in their right mind would not be interested in reading about wheat production in Saskatchewan or the history of corn? Why 14 year old Lek and 15 year old Somchai wouldn\'t be interested in how many people visit Machu Picchu or the Grand Canyon every year is beyond me. Thai teenagers not knowing the four U.S presidents on Mount Rushmore, or not understanding family life in America, or women\'s liberation in Britain. How dare them!</p>\n<p>EFL textbook after EFL textbook, whether from Cambridge University press or Oxford University Press, (used by many schools here), is chalk full of articles and stories not the least bit relevant to Thai students. The history of \"Big Ben\"; the discovery of Tutankhamen\'s Tomb; where to shop if you\'re ever stuck at the airport in Singapore; interviews with exchange students from Mexico; fish and chip recipes.... How can any teenage Thai student possibly be bored with that? It\'s tough enough for them to learn about prepositions of place or countable/uncountable nouns, especially when taught by apathetic teachers who care not a wit for the students\' future.</p>\n<p>Over the years I have seen well intentioned foreign teachers in Thailand pound their fist into their hand while passionately explaining to their boss in the teacher\'s room, \"I have told my students over and over again that if they don\'t study hard and pass this exam, they will not get into a good university!\" Some pound their fist on their desk, the veins in their neck clearly visible from across the room as they exclaim, \"I have pounded into their heads day after day for the last three weeks the differences between the past simple and the past continuous. But do they listen? NO!!! They are still failing. I have even threatened to call their parents.\"</p>\n<p>Wow, threatening to call their parents. Great motivational technique if I ever saw one. What\'s next, telling the kids that lions and tigers will eat their mommy and daddy if they don\'t do their homework? Warning the teenage monsters that God himself will destroy their crops and kill their farm animals if they do not apply themselves and pass those dreaded English examinations? Good grief!</p>\n<p>There are, however, some foreign teachers here who do care about the future of their Thai students without having to resort to such unnecessary and ludicrous scare tactics. The teachers who use such tactics are doing so not necessarily because they genuinely care about the future of Thai students. While many are certainly concerned about the students\' progress, what these teachers who make it a point to pound their fist into their own hand in front of their boss are mainly concerned about is saving their own hides. They are more concerned about themselves looking good in the eyes of their boss than they are with the students doing well in anyone\'s eyes. Some may say that the students are being used as pawns in a very dangerous game of \"Save My Ass.\" While this game is universal and takes place in many industries, in an educational setting it is demoralizing to the teachers and shortchanges the students when they need good and dedicated teachers the most.</p>\n<p>Now let\'s look at ways whereby we can create a system, a method, situations, and circumstances that will compel us to serve our students better while, at the same time, allow the vast majority of our students to pass their examinations.</p>\n<h3>\"READ, UNDERSTAND, and FOLLOW the INSTRUCTIONS\":</h3>\n<p>Firstly, I\'m going to start with a very simple and common sense premise. Most EFL students in Thailand, (and in other Asian nations), who fail their English exams do so not necessarily because they didn\'t study hard enough or apply themselves diligently enough. Most EFL students who fail grammar, reading, and writing exams fail because they cannot read. Moreover, many of them cannot read or understand the instructions on the exams well enough to do the exercises. It is the same for their student books and their workbooks. I have noticed this with some of my students. Here are a few examples of instructions for grammar and vocabulary exercises from a book some teachers here use:</p>\n<p>*** Grammar. (Match the questions 1-7 with replies a-g. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb.)</p>\n<p>*** Vocabulary. (Choose the best meaning for the underlined expressions from the questionnaire.)</p>\n<p>*** Grammar. (Connect the sentences to make a story, using the words in brackets. Change the order of the sentence halves if necessary.)</p>\n<p>*** Listening. (Listen to part of a program with various people talking about what they think will help them to live longer. Tick the items in the box which are mentioned.)</p>\n<p>While these instructions make sense to those whose mother tongue is English, Thai students who are still at the \"See Jane Run\" stage of their reading ability won\'t make any sense of these instructions at all. And if they are on an English test, they have little hope in passing. A class or three each term must be devoted to nothing else but going over instructions: In the textbook and on examinations. The students must never be shortchanged when it comes to this extremely important and much too often ignored task. This is what happened to me recently.</p>\n<p>My grade 10 students were engaged in their groups and getting ready to do a grammar exercise from their book. I wrote the instructions on the board taken directly from the exercise. \"Complete the sentences using the correct form of the verb in the box.\" I got the students to read it aloud.</p>\n<p>TEACHER STEVE: Okay, what does this mean? (No response. I repeat the question; again, no response.) These instructions will be on your next test. You should know this. Okay, turn to page 123. Look at the regular and irregular verb chart. How many forms of the verb do you see? <br />ONE BRAVE STUDENT: Seven.<br />TEACHER STEVE: Seven? Oh, I think you\'re giving me the numbers of blank spaces in the gap fill. No not seven. <br />ANOTHER BRAVE STUDENT: 68.<br />TEACHER STEVE: 68? Can you name them? How did you come up with 68? (She points to the page.) Ah, I think you counted all the verbs on the page. <br />ANOTHER STUDENT: Ah! Three!<br />TEACHER STEVE: Yes, three. What are they? <br />STUDENTS: Basic form, past simple, past participle.</p>\n<p>(This is what the board looks like.)</p>\n<p>\"Complete the sentences using the correct form of the verb in the box.\"</p>\n<p>1) Basic Form (V1)<br />2) Past Simple (V2)<br />3) Past Participle (V3)</p>\n<p>TEACHER STEVE: So how many forms of the verb are there?<br />STUDENTS: Three. <br />TEACHER STEVE: How many will you use when doing exercise C?<br />STUDENTS: Three.<br />TEACHER STEVE: Good. Sit down and do exercise C in your groups.</p>\n<p>They do. We finish and put the answers on the board. Damn! Many of them used only the basic form of the verb. I point out the mistake. We do it a second time. We nail it. Practice does make perfect.</p>\n<p>These are just three ways to teach \"instructions\" to EFL students:</p>\n<p>1) On a sheet of paper have only the instructions with some space between them for the students to find examples from the book to match the instructions.</p>\n<p>2) \"Mix and match.\" Print some examples on another sheet of paper to match the instructions and mix them up. The students then cut them out and match the examples from the book with the instructions on the other sheet.</p>\n<p>3) The third time they try this, give the students the sheet with ONLY the instructions on it. They work together (or individually if you think they are ready) and try to remember the examples to match the instructions.</p>\n<p>The students must learn how to read and understand the instructions on the tests otherwise having the majority of them pass, and actually do well, becomes little more than an exercise in hope and faith.</p>\n<h3>EXAM DESIGN:</h3>\n<p>If the instructions to the exercises weren\'t difficult enough for the students, many of the questions on the examination itself are extremely complex, unnecessarily ambiguous, culturally ignorant, and purposely tricky. It\'s as if those who are responsible for writing the tests go out of their way to fool students or \"trip them up.\" Gap fills or multiple choice questions and statements concerning vocabulary are particularly tricky since we are not only dealing with language; we are also dealing with culture: The culture in which we native English teachers teach, and the different English speaking countries we come from. For example:</p>\n<p>Steve is going on a _______________ next week.</p>\n<p>(a) Holiday (b) vacation (c) journey (d) day off</p>\n<p>The answer could depend on many things. If the Thai student was taught by an American, he may put \"vacation\" as his answer since Americans use the word vacation to describe a trip away from home. If the Thai student was taught by a British teacher, then \"holiday\" would be the correct answer since the British use the word holiday for the same purpose. The word \"journey\" is a bit vague here as well. Steve may very well be going on a journey next week. We don\'t know from the example.</p>\n<p>To make things even more confusing, the English fellow who wrote this test question is probably not aware that Thai, and other Asian languages, do not share with English the amount of synonyms to describe similar things. Many Asian languages tend to use the same word or two words to describe a particular endeavor or phenomenon. Keeping this reality in mind should help native English teachers write better exams for Asian students.</p>\n<p><strong>LISTENING TESTS:</strong></p>\n<p>Listening tests are no different when it comes to tricking the students. Here is a question I recently found from a listening test for Thai high school students:</p>\n<p>Speaker B\'s friend went to _______________ on holiday.</p>\n<p>(a) Spain (b) Thailand (c) Maine (d) insane</p>\n<p>Spain, Maine, insane. Now that\'s unnecessarily tricky. The similar sound of those three words makes it extremely difficult for students whose first language is not English; much more difficult than it should be. It\'s like having a question on a listening test like this:</p>\n<p>Student B\'s best friend\'s name is _________________.</p>\n<p>(a) Harry (b) Barry (c) Larry (d) Moe</p>\n<p>Come on now! If you really want to maintain a 40 or 50 percent failure rate, fill your exams with ridiculous questions like that. Anyone who has ever taught Thais, especially Thai teenagers, know firsthand the Harry, Barry, and Larry sound virtually the same. While Spain, Maine, and insane may sound very similar to the native English teacher, they sound virtually the same to a Thai student who is not used to hearing English. Even though there is only one right answer, all three words sound correct. That is just one of the ways in which teachers and exam writers attempt to bamboozle students, whether consciously or unconsciously.</p>\n<p>In his book \"Teach Like Your Hair\'s on Fire\", award winning American teacher Rafe Esquith offers a Mathematical example which also proves the point. Although I\'m using different numbers than Esquith did, it goes something like this:</p>\n<p>80<br />20</p>\n<p>(a) 60 (b) 100 (c) 4 (d) 1,600</p>\n<p>All four answers can be correct. 60 is correct if you subtract 20 from 80; 100 is correct if you add 80 and 20; four is correct if you divide 20 into 80; and 1,600 is correct if you multiply the numbers. Adding the plus or minus or divide symbol would obviously help lead the student to the correct answer, but it doesn\'t change the fact that all four numbers would be correct depending on the symbol used.</p>\n<p>This math problem on an exam would be as unfair to the students as the Harry, Barry, and Larry question. The answers are too closely aligned with one another, thus not giving the students a clear and unambiguous choice. As teachers, we are there to help the students arrive at the correct answer without directly giving it to them; not to make it more difficult for them by putting roadblocks or obstacles in their way.</p>\n<p>Giving mock tests within a week of the real thing is always a good idea. This gives the students the opportunity to work within the specific and demanding conditions of the exam. Esquith calls this \"creating the conditions for the test.\"</p>\n<p><strong>SPEAKING TESTS:</strong></p>\n<p>A speaking test can be even trickier for the students. Given that many Asian students, including Thai teenagers, are painfully shy (and afraid) to speak English in class, we as EFL teachers and supervisors don\'t make it any easier for them when it comes to the most difficult of the four English components.</p>\n<p>For starters, in my experience in Thailand, speaking tests are usually held outdoors; out of the classroom amidst the noise of other students walking by, having lunch, and playing basketball. This is certainly not a professional atmosphere in which to conduct a speaking test. In my three years of teaching English and conducting English speaking tests in the South Korean public school system, these tests where taken in the school library, (or in another large room), away from the prying eyes and ears of other students who were not supposed to be there.</p>\n<p>Secondly, the subject matter of many of these speaking tests is at the very least uninspiring, lacks creativity, and is downright dumb and insipid. Depending on the level of each grade, teachers are expected to ask the students questions like, \"What\'s your name?\" \"How old are you?\" \"What do you do in your free time?\" \"What is your favorite TV show?\" and, \"What did you eat for dinner last night?\"</p>\n<p>To make matters extremely comical, the students tell their friends the questions (in order) so that they can memorize the answers, again, in order. So when the teacher mixes up the questions, you get non-sequiturs like this:</p>\n<p>TEACHER: How old are you?<br />STUDENT: My name is Somchai.<br />TEACHER: What did you eat for dinner last night?<br />STUDENT: I\'m 14 years old.<br />TEACHER: How old are you?<br />STUDENT: I like to play basketball.<br />TEACHER: What do you do in your free time?<br />STUDENT: Chicken and rice.</p>\n<p>The problem here is not any lack of creativity or independent thought on the part of the students. The fact that the students took the time and effort to tell their friends the questions and answers shows initiate, thought, and how easily they can make their teachers look like incompetent fools. While we pat ourselves on the back thinking we\'re so clever for mixing up the questions and \"tripping the students up\", the students walk back into the classroom thinking, \"what a dumb teacher, he can\'t even put together a good speaking test.\" In the end most of the students fail and nothing is accomplished. The speaking test was worthless and useless.</p>\n<p>Third, these speaking tests give precious little time to the students for practice or rehearsal. We ask them questions or give them a card with questions printed on it and tell them to speak. News flash for educators! That doesn\'t work. It shows the students that we are disorganized, lazy, and incompetent. A far better way to test the students\' English speaking ability would be to do this:</p>\n<p>*** Conversations (in pairs or in groups.)<br />*** Theatrical skits (in pairs or in groups.)<br />*** In class oral presentations (individually for stronger students; in pairs or small groups for the weaker students.)<br />*** Speeches (individually and only for the stronger students.)<br />*** Question and answer sessions (in pairs.)</p>\n<p>For this to be successful, it has to be done in class and away from others who are not taking part. There must not be any interruptions. Students must also be given ample amounts of time to practice and rehearse. The whole class, (including the teacher), must be involved at the same time and some students can play the part of judges and graders. These are not only individual tests; they must also be treated as a class effort.</p>\n<h3>A PARTING SHOT:</h3>\n<p>By writing and creating tests and examinations that most of the students will understand, learn something from, and pass (whether listening, reading, grammar, or speaking tests), will show the students that we are educationally competent, emotionally involved, and clearly on their side. We are not here to \"trip them up\" or fool them in any way. Students know through years of experience when their teachers are being unhelpful and are not doing the best they can for them. Do many of my students fail? Yes, too many of them in fact. But we are working on it. Through experience and trial and error, the students and I work together so that together we can succeed. That\'s all anyone can ask for. By showing the students that I am clearly on their side, by showing them how to study, how to work hard and how to help others, we are putting ourselves on the road to success.</p>\n<p>Challenge your students, yes. Expect a lot from them, certainly. But remember this: When it comes to testing your students, keep the instructions clear and very simple; make the questions to answer and the problems to solve clear and unambiguous; and make the speaking, reading, and writing portions of the exam interesting and engaging for the students. This will let the students know that you are there to help them do their best, not get in their way. Most of all, know what you are serving up to the students.</p>\n<p>The tests and exams that we native English teachers have our students take may or may not accurately measure the English ability or educational acumen of our students. If most of them pass and do well, great! If many do not pass these exams, it is more a measure of our lack of educational prowess. It is not their fault. It is not the students. It is our lack of ability as teachers to accurately measure Thais. It is, in essence, the mismeasure of Thais.</p>\n</p>','','2010-08-05 05:33:13',1,'2010-08-05 05:33:13','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2090,52,'August 2010','august-2010','All the latest news from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers.','This month, one TEFL course is offering its Bangkok program to any interested parties and there is absolutely no franchise fee.

I consider myself native speaker fluent in both languages. Unfortunately I hated teaching English and there was never going to be enough work teaching French to be able to pay the bills. What I really wanted to do was start up my own computer troubleshooting business but lacked the start-up&nbsp;capital. If not my own business, I just wanted to work in computers.&nbsp;I disliked the teaching immensely but needed the income it generated. Then purely by chance I met a Thai&nbsp;businessman at the local tennis club. He owned several large condominium buildings in&nbsp;Bangkok and told me that&nbsp;one of his biggest problems was collecting&nbsp;overdue rent from foreign residents.&nbsp;He asked me to come and work for him. All I had to do&nbsp;was refer to a list of late rent-payers and call them up with a reminder. I wouldn\'t have to meet them face-to-face. It was just a case of giving the residents a friendly \'nudge\' with a friendly phone call. The&nbsp;owner didn\'t mind when I did the work as long as I got the results.</p>\n<p>Not only did we negotiate a modest salary of about 20,000 baht a month but I got to live rent-free in one of his condominiums - a place I would never have been able to afford on an English teacher\'s salary. And so I set to work. I made phone calls for two hours every evening from 7pm to 9pm when the foreign residents were at home. I found the job&nbsp;easy. No one ranted at me down the phone and they duly paid the rent money owing. Don\'t forget that these were 50,000 baht a month apartments so when you have thirty&nbsp;residents defaulting on that amount of money, it\'s a problem that needs addressing.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I was able to give up teaching completely and concentrate on developing computer programs, which I hawked around various&nbsp;companies. Eventually I landed a full-time job at a computer company for 60,000 a month. But I still kept the debt-chasing job. That was far too good a number to give up.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Jonathon says \"I was in my early twenties when I first came to Thailand. Like so many others, I\'d grown disillusioned with life in the UK and the whole nine to five existence, and just knew there was something better out there for me. I got myself a world atlas and a pin...and the rest is history. I knew right from the start that teaching English was the most realistic way of earning enough money to survive, but I never fell into the trap of thinking that it was the only way. I was constantly keeping an ear to the ground for something better. By &lsquo;better\', I mean something better-paid than the 150 baht an hour I was earning and something that would rescue me from the daily grind of riding Bangkok buses from one freelance job to another.</p>\n<p>I taught English for three very long years. I was actually extremely good at it and the students loved me. Re-enrolments were never ever a problem. But I\'d be constantly looking around me at the crummy apartment I was in and the fact that I was living this hand-to mouth, day to day existence. I just couldn\'t see myself teaching English for years on end. I had in truth, grown to hate it.</p>\n<p>My big break came totally out of the blue. I was teaching a group of corporate students and one of them told me that she knew a farang guy (Indian actually) who was looking for a European or American person to sell advertising space in some of Bangkok\'s best-known &lsquo;middle-class\' magazines. I decided to give it a go, and knew from day one that I had found my niche. You need one major quality to sell advertising space in Thailand - you need to have no shame. I\'ve been doing this for six years now, and I never think twice about calling up the head of a company to ask if they are interested in what I\'ve got to offer. If there\'s an appointment to be got, then I\'m the man to get it. I\'m aggressive without being pushy and I can flatter people without coming across as insincere. That\'s been the secret of my success. The rewards have been huge. I\'ve just bought my second condominium cash (I rent out the first one) and I\'m smoking around in a brand new motor. My daughter just started international school and I\'m earning enough to employ a full-time nanny. Yet underneath, I\'m basically the same guy that taught English for 150 baht an hour. You like this, but every Saturday morning, I still give English lessons to a young girl and her mother at their family home because they were my first ever students and they told me they could never study with anyone else. I have increased the rate to 400 baht an hour though (as if I need the money)\"</p>\n<p>Stories like that of Jonathon\'s and Marcus\'s&nbsp;above will undoubtedly lift the spirits of many a dejected teacher. It\'s very easy to look at the Ministry of Employment\'s list of occupations prohibited to foreigners and think to yourself &lsquo;is teaching English really all there is?\' and indeed one of the most common emails we receive at ajarn.com is from someone who feels that they would be better suited to anything, absolutely anything bar teaching English. These stories are not presented to belittle English language teaching at all, but to show that for some &lsquo;lucky souls\' - where there\'s a will......there\'s always a way.</p>\n<p>Derrick from Reading hated Bangkok from day one. \"I really didn\'t know what people saw in the place. Noisy, dirty, congested hell-hole. I couldn\'t wait to get out. This was about 1992, and it seemed like even though I loathed Bangkok, I was a prisoner there because Bangkok was where all the jobs were. It wasn\'t like it is now where you have teaching vacancies the length and breadth of the country. I can\'t understand why someone would stay in Bangkok now unless they were earning in excess of 50,000 baht a month. I did English teaching for a few months before moving to Hua Hin a bit further south. I was lucky to hook up with a Thai partner who also happened to be a very good business lady, and together we pooled our savings and opened up a small restaurant. As Hua Hin has developed I\'ve gone on to do other things. I\'d rather not say what they are but they\'re well within the realms of the law. I\'m convinced that Thailand is a land of immense opportunity but there is certainly a &lsquo;right place at the right time\' factor. I\'m no businessman but everything I\'ve touched has turned to gold. I guess I\'ve just smiled a lot at people. Yes, that\'s definitely it. I\'ve kissed a considerable amount of ass over the years, but I certainly don\'t feel ashamed about it.</p>\n<p>\"I suppose you might classify me as an in-house company teacher, but I do very little actual face-to-face teaching these days\" says Alec from Scotland. I was originally employed by a large multi-national company to give language tuition to as many staff as I possibly could with a bit of proof-reading and help desk work thrown in. As I became more and more familiar with the company\'s products and the company procedures, I became much more valuable. Now I\'m the classic jack-of all-trades. I can meet clients and give sales presentations. I can promote the products and services all over Asia. And it all started from teaching English. Don\'t get me wrong, I still love to teach but nowadays, I feel I play a crucial part in the overall company itself. Yes, I was lucky to join a company who appreciated my talents. Many companies will employ you as an in-house teacher and see you as exactly that, but take my advice - develop interests in as many areas of the company as possible\"</p>\n<p>Dave from the USA has worked at many different jobs during his eight years in Thailand, and has an interesting approach. \"Networking is what it\'s all about. There\'s no secret formula - the more people you meet, the more doors will open. It\'s common sense really. You have to meet the right people though, and that\'s usually foreigners in high positions. When I first started out teaching (and I didn\'t last long at it) I worked with some big-shot financial consultant who was looking to get into something similar over here. He admitted to me that the only reason he signed up as a corporate teacher was to make contacts. As soon as he\'d taught three groups of Thai junior managers who\'d never made a decision in life between them, he realized that his strategy was all wrong. Meeting the right people is paramount and you rarely/never do that by teaching English.</p>\n<p>I joined up with the various chambers of commerce - the Canadian, the British, the American - and as part of the membership deal, you get invited to all sorts of networking evenings by the poolside at some fancy hotel. Sure it can be bloody painful walking around making endless small talk but you\'d be amazed how many members will come out with the magical &lsquo;our company could use a guy like you\'. These are the jobs that never get advertised. They\'re out there. They truly are\"</p>\n<p>Erika, also from the USA, has done well as a freelance writer. \"There\'s nothing radically wrong with teaching English but it just doesn\'t pay enough. A lot of Americans have crippling student loans still to pay off and earning 25-30,000 baht a month isn\'t going to put much of a dent in it. I work for several SE Asian magazines and I find that the economic and political magazines pay quite well. But for me, it\'s the freedom. I tend to be a nocturnal creature, and I can work till three or four in the morning and get up at midday. I just can\'t imagine me getting up and battling the traffic to get there in time for an eight o clock class. Yeah, working from home is nice\"</p>\n<p>Barry from the North of England was a victim of the global IT recession so brought his talents as a website designer to Thailand. \"I quickly realized two things when it comes to Thais designing websites. They are generally good at the cosmetic &lsquo;fun\' things that go into making a professional website, but they lack attention to detail. I decided to get myself a Thai partner and start up on my own, and only approaching the larger companies who had an eye for quality and the budget to match. Believe it or not, I\'ve done really well. I only need one or two good clients a month to give me a very nice living. The marketing side can be a pain - it always is - and I\'m not particularly good with negotiating fees but I get by. I\'m not outrageously expensive but I\'d like to think I\'m up there with the best Thailand has to offer in the way of corporate website design. I\'ve even taken on a couple of Thai staff to help with the day-to-day tasks but I keep my eye on them and make sure that every page is proofread at least half a dozen times\"</p>\n<p>I think many of us have wandered around the weekend market, looking at some of those amazing handicrafts and antiques, and thought about exporting to the west and then sitting back and reaping the cash. For some, the export lark has worked, but for many it\'s remained just an impossible dream. Benno from Switzerland has been buying up silver jewelry in the Bangrak area of Bangkok for over five years and is already thinking about semi-retirement.</p>\n<p>\"All I ever dreamt about was living in Thailand, but what was I going to do? I didn\'t see myself as an English teacher, although I certainly gave it a go. There had to be one thing that I could buy here cheaply and sell at a good profit in the west. The answer was silver jewelry, marcasite jewelry, and a semi-precious stone called Lapis. I researched the markets in several countries around the world and homed in on Italy of all places. I\'ve made a huge killing there.</p>\n<p>You have to believe in what you are doing. You will meet obstacles along the way and they will have to be overcome, but there is a market for everything. Never sit back and think that all the good export ideas have already gone\"</p>\n<p>Find something inexpensive that will sell well abroad and then exploit it. You\'ll get the same advice from Lester, a confident, slightly brash Londoner, who has been buying up half of Chinatown since quitting his teaching job over two years ago.</p>\n<p>\"Basically, I sell Thailand-produced goods to people all over the world via internet auctions. It sounds easy but there\'s a huge learning curve involved. There are payment methods to be worked out, shipping costs to be taken into consideration, and then there\'s always the time-wasters, but hit it right and you\'ll make a packet. I\'m on first name terms with everyone at the local post office - I traipse down there at least three times a week to send my little packages all over the world. Nothing illegal you understand - simply stuff that people can\'t get unless they come to Thailand (laughs) and other than that, my lips are sealed. I don\'t really want the competition\" Lester did also mention that he makes six times the amount of money that he did as a teacher.</p>\n<p>For some folk it\'s not about the monetary rewards. Job satisfaction comes high up the list. Trudy from Canada has worked at a graphic design company in Bangkok for 18 months.</p>\n<p>\"Graphic design has always been my profession and I love living in Thailand, so what a perfect combination. Unfortunately I only earn 20-25K as a graphic designer, which is on a par with the Thai staff. I suppose it\'s because I work faster than everyone else and can make deadlines. That\'s how I landed the job. I\'ve heard of several well-paying graphic design positions but I like the people I work with and I come into the office whenever I want (lowers voice to a whisper), But I do teach English a little bit as well\"</p>\n<p>And finally the movie star - Greg from Newcastle in the north of England. We\'ve all heard the stories of Khao san Road backpackers working as extras for a thousand baht a day and all the grub you can eat, but for Greg, he\'s found his own niche in the Thai movie industry.</p>\n<p>\"Look at me. I\'m hardly what you\'d call Sean Connery, but I\'m turning work away left right and center. And well-paid work too! 7,000 baht a day minimum. The film industry can be tiring - loads of standing around doing nothing and waiting for takes, but at 7,000 a day, you don\'t need many gigs a month to make a comfortable living, and the Thai directors are now finding much larger budgets at their disposal. That said, most of my work is in advertising, so the next time you\'re at the movie theater and see this big-nosed farang getting out of a helicopter with a bottle of premium whisky - give me a wave. Seriously though, it\'s all about contacts. It\'s not what you know but who you know in Thailand\"</p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/beating-the-teacher-trap/\">This is an update of an article originally&nbsp;written in July 2007</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/happy.gif','2010-08-09 21:08:59',1,'2010-08-09 21:08:59','2010-08-10 11:11:00'),(2117,20,'What\'s your bag?','whats-your-bag','Pay close attention to what you carry those textbooks in','Fashion guru, Sebastian Hawkes, joins ajarn.com to cast a critical eye over what teachers should be carrying their stuff in this coming Fall.

Oprah hailed her as \"The Most Talented Girl in the World\" and the \"newly crowned pop princess\" by the New York Post. David Foster, the legendary music producer,&nbsp;regards Charice as her \"most favorite young singer\" and the recognition from the rest of the world goes on.</p>\n<p>On&nbsp;July 23 at Siam Discovery Center, Charice gave an amazing performance of her second single \"Pyramid\" and belted the toughest songs of Whitney Houston through her own rendition of the \"Bodyguard Medley.\" The Filipino community in Thailand gave a very warm welcome to the budding star. Remarkably, many Thai teenagers and young professionals showed up to greet the \"The Voice\" with 100% hospitality. In return, Charice declared Thailand as her \"second home.\" After her one-on-one interview with SiamPinoy, she was named as the \"Standing Ovation Little Diva.\"</p>\n<p>And to many Filipino expatriates scattered all over the world who are always there to applaud wherever Charice is, every sound that roars when their hands are together brings not just pure entertainment but a moral booster as well. Just like Charice, many Filipino expatriates from the four&nbsp;corners of the globe are working hard to earn a decent living not just for themselves but for their families. Knowing that Charice came from a very humble beginning gives millions of working Filipino overseas an inspiration to cling on to.</p>\n<p><strong>33 (Belated happy birthday to me!)</strong></p>\n<p>I celebrated my birthday on August 1 at the Terraze Bar and Restaurant, Chiangrai. A combination of groups of Filipino, Thai and Farang friends and acquaintances were all there. Anyway, I\'ve been celebrating my birthday for the past 10 years in Thailand. But honestly, I always feel like I\'m a newcomer. Probably because of this \"one-year\" job contract thing which signals a quick end and start of the so-called \"life.\" I wonder how many more birthdays will come for me here in the land of smiles!</p>\n<p><strong>From 3 to 2 to 3 (Thai culture training update)</strong></p>\n<p>The Teachers\' Council of Thailand (TCT) through the Private School Teachers\' Association of Thailand (PSTAT) would like to inform \"new\" foreign teachers that it is now mandatory to attend the 20-hour&nbsp;Thai Culture Course held&nbsp;on three consecutive days. Last year, the majority of accredited training agencies squeezed the training&nbsp;over just two days after many foreign teachers requested it.</p>\n<p>It was found that many foreign teachers were on a \"no work no pay\" policy with their respective schools. Surprisingly, some schools including many teacher placement agencies, did not allow their teachers an official leave of absence when the training was scheduled on weekdays. Still, it was frustrating for a quite considerable number of teachers who got an AWOL (which meant salary deduction) on Fridays or Mondays to travel to and back from the training. Now, our friends from these training agencies decided to regress from their usual ways without any consideration. And the most frustrating part even until now is the very limited information or misinterpretation&nbsp;from schools -&nbsp;particularly the government schools&nbsp;-&nbsp;on this licensing law for foreign teachers set by their own bureaucracy.</p>\n<p>I also heard that the&nbsp;PSTAT is conducting the course on September 4 - 6, 2010 in Bangkok. Please contact them for more information.</p>\n<p><strong>A Bilateral Agreement! Really??? (Labor laws concerning Filipino teachers)</strong></p>\n<p>Here\'s something that the Filipino teaching community&nbsp;should hope for: a bilateral agreement with Thailand in upholding \"better\" salary scale and fringe benefits. But of course it\'s not as easy as we think. A dialogue on August 4 was hosted by the Philippine embassy for the Filipino community to discuss these work-related issues. The Philippine embassy under the leadership of our new ambassador HE Lacanlale, will be joining the crusade of regulating the Filipino teachers\' qualifications and skills to monitor the thousands of Filipino teachers who are working and still looking for jobs in Thailand which I believe is in exchange for a nationwide implementation of a standard salary scale. I hope, still hope and will continue hoping! In any case, I wish the ambassador and her staff the best of luck!</p>\n<p>If I\'m not mistaken, there exists a \"standard salary scale\" directive drafted by the MoE seven or eight years ago. It states how much one gets depending on nationality. Unfortunately, it was never implemented and I think it&nbsp;won\'t be implemented anytime in the future. Many school employers cling to odd reasons like \"no budget,\" \"parents can not afford to pay,\" \"not many students,\" and \"you\'re not farang\" etc.&nbsp;High supply and low demand leads to a cheaper&nbsp;product cost&nbsp;it seems.</p>\n<p>But it appears that the situation here is different. There is an increasing demand&nbsp;and an&nbsp;increasing supply and the costs are getting cheaper. In other words, there are many foreign teachers, especially Filipinos, who accept below average salaries for obvious reasons. And the employers are taking advantage (in fact, abusing the system) of this without any thought of quality instruction. Rarely can you find highly qualified, well-trained and English fluent Filipino teachers who accept lower than 30,000.00 Baht a month. Either they are desperate or waiting for better opportunities.</p>\n<p>Sadly, there is a considerable number of \"unwanted\" Filipino teachers who need to be regulated but it appears they are&nbsp;still given contracts by a considerable number of schools. And I don\'t blame them. I blame those who give them work in exchange for quality instruction. I think the rule is simple: you want the best then offer the best. Generally, English language teaching in Thailand has obviously become a business opportunity.</p>\n</p>','','2010-08-10 02:54:48',1,'2010-08-10 02:54:48','2010-08-10 18:06:49'),(2200,59,'A Haven for Filipino Teachers','a-haven-for-filipino-teachers','Some suggestions on where Filipinos might find teaching work','Each agency has different sets of procedures and requirements.

The seminar emcee asked, \"Have I learned from my Filipino teachers?\" He answered his own question. \"Yes, I learned a lot from my Filipino teachers.\" Similarly, he asked, \"Have I learned from my native English teachers?\" He answered, \"Yes. I learned a lot from my English native teachers.\"</p>\n<p>By&nbsp;this comment,&nbsp;one can assume that Filipino teachers are as good as native speakers.

It&nbsp;can dampen&nbsp;your spirit, make one impoverished, lead to boredom, and worst of all,&nbsp;force one to&nbsp;go back to the Philippines feeling&nbsp;\'a failure\'.</p>\n<p>I have heard numerous&nbsp;stories from Filipinos who have been&nbsp;unemployed for long periods and forced to live with&nbsp;friends.

One reason is they bark up the wrong tree. I say this because they apply to schools that only employ native speakers at the request of their customers (generally the fee-paying parents). Another reason could be wrong timing.&nbsp;Perhaps the teacher&nbsp;has come to Thailand at an inopportune time -&nbsp;maybe in the middle of a term when very little hiring is done.</p>\n<p>Once you\'re hired by the agency and assigned to a certain school, do your best all the time. \"Live each day as if it were your last\" and you will be successful.</p>\n<p>Good luck in your job search and may you find your \'haven\' in the agencies I have listed.</p>\n</p>','','2010-08-19 10:03:28',1,'2010-08-19 10:03:28','2010-08-20 00:12:29'),(2230,55,'Drugs anyone, anyone?','drugs-anyone-anyone','Simon Gunn’s TEN talk ','Information about TEN’s next event and an upcoming event hosted by Oxford University Press.','<p>Adventurous teenagers, elite schools, lots of cash, massive amounts of free time, and add some spice to life with a little stash a friend of yours heard about and got, from a friend of a friend.

However, in fact, these conditions reflect real life for many expat teens in Bangkok.\n<p>How do we as teachers offer help to students in need, tell who is in need, and do so in an ethical manner within the bounds of school policy? Now that is a tightrope to walk.</p>\n<p>Simon Gunn, Managing Director of Channah Thailand, came to TEN August 10 at Roadhouse Barbecue and shared some of his vast expertise gained from working in the Drug and Alcohol field since 1993 with various organizations, including five years specializing in counseling young people with drug or alcohol problems.</p>\n<p>Simon has started several clinics in the UK to treat drug and alcohol misuse as well as a Steroid Users Clinic. He has also worked teaching Relapse Awareness, Drug Education and Solution Focused therapy to teachers and counselors. As an author, he developed the ThinkingCap Relapse Awareness program used at rehabilitation programs around the world as well as here at Channah Thailand.</p>\n<p>At the school level, there are three primary perspectives. First, principals often feel that having a drug education program implies a drug problem. Teachers believe they have no problems related to drug and alcohol and often see no need for a program.</p>\n<p>If principals offer any programs or training, or even acknowledge drugs are a concern, parental ignorance of the prevalence and pervasiveness of drugs today will lead them to believe that drugs are a school\'s fault, or that a program about drug prevention will actually encourage, not discourage their use.</p>\n<p>Every school has its own policy concerning drugs. You should become aware of yours. The responsibility of reporting to administrators or parents could complicate any interaction with a child. What you can do is look for the signs of drug use in your students and have lessons with information about places where they can get help. The information is freely available at www.channahthailand.com.</p>\n<p>For children, the most important people on campus, they just want to know with whom they can talk about drugs or alcohol, but know that a teacher must report what they say to the principal. It is not clear how and where these perspectives can come together and if they do not, the only ones losing out are the children.</p>\n<p>With regard to student privacy, when Simon goes to schools and offers training to students, he does so with the proviso that there will be no teachers or administrators in the room, as kids need to be in an open environment free of any distractions. As he pointed out, if you have a teacher in the room, you might as well not bother.</p>\n<p>What is important, Simon suggests, is that as existing programs do not work for every young person, we need to remember that the most important thing for kids planning on or currently taking drugs is awareness and education. While not what many parents would like to hear, if young people are considering taking drugs, they need to question their frame of mind, who they are with and what the setting is.</p>\n<p>When looking for the signs of drug use, as teachers, we need to know our students. We have to look for patterns of behavior that can change drastically; introvert becomes extrovert and vice versa. Clothes and friends can change just as drastically. However, as these can just be signs of adolescence, knowing your student is best, along with being supportive and, if speaking about drugs, be honest.</p>\n<p>In particular, Simon insisted that one of the best ways to negate a successful anti-drug message is to tell them, \"Drugs kill.\" Far too many of them know or have heard of famous people who take drugs and who are not dead to believe this. In addition, it is important to remember the mind-set of many young people in that they believe they are indestructible and as such have no concerns whatsoever about drugs and death...</p>\n<p>In fact, today the two most dangerous drugs according to Simon are alcohol and tobacco, killing more people in one day that drugs in an entire year. Two drugs, that while many parents would be unhappy to see their children use, are probably being enjoyed in the student\'s home by parents themselves further reducing the impact parental pleas and warnings to avoid &lsquo;dangerous\', addictive drugs might otherwise have or have had...</p>\n<p>This month, TEN has two great events to bring to your attention.

To ensure consistency, I constantly review my behaviour in class against norms that I believe reflect a caring educator.</p>\n<p><strong>To sit or not to sit</strong></p>\n<p>If I want to create student-teacher affinity to a degree where the students like me, I know I should not sit behind or on a desk, or stand behind a podium or lectern while teaching - except when teaching or working with a small group. If I want to present myself as equal, which is a very positive trait, then eye-to-eye contact is more easily maintained if both parties are seated.</p>\n<p>If I am teaching a small class, I like to have a seat where I can roll around from one group to the next, or have an empty seat waiting for me. However, if I am lecturing a large group, it is best to stand and move around a lot as it offers an opportunity to monitor all the students and, as such, pace my lecture to the majority and not only the few who tend to congregate in the front.</p>\n<p><strong>To act or not to act</strong></p>\n<p>Students find it difficult to like teachers who use a monotone/dull voice, look at the board or at notes while talking, or have a very tense body position while talking to the class.</p>\n<p>I need to be somewhat animated, use a variety of vocal expressions and gestures, look at, and move around, the class, smile, and if possible, look relaxed while talking to the class - in short, do everything I can to present myself as a dynamic, active and enthusiastic teacher.</p>\n<p>However, I refuse to be the only person in class to provide the energy needed to make a class dynamic. I expect to get a good portion back from what I put in.</p>\n<p>Why should 99 percent of the energy in a class come from, invariably, the oldest person in the room? At the same time, I try to be consistent based on the time of day and the size of class I teach. For example, few students are active first thing Monday morning, and if I come bouncing full of vigour into a class, I will not impress anyone.</p>\n<p>Likewise, if I use the energy needed to teach 200 students when only 20 are present, I will also come across as being somewhat insincere.</p>\n<p><strong>To teach or not to teach</strong></p>\n<p>When I reflect on how I want to treat the students, there are traits I want to avoid, such as offering poor excuses for being absent, keeping the class overtime, lecturing in a confusing manner, or not reviewing lessons for examinations.</p>\n<p>I need to be helpful, warm, empathetic, relaxed, casual and content. In addition, with this comes the need to be trustworthy, to be consistent in beliefs to fulfil the commitments made to the students, and to remain sincere.</p>\n<p>While these ideas may seem basic, it is my list of things \"to do and not to do\" that I keep in mind all the time.</p>\n<p>While there may be days I feel like breaking some of these rules, and perhaps there may be one or two days a year I actually do so, I feel guilty because I always teach with one central idea in mind: \"Is this the way I would want to be taught?\"</p>\n<p>If the answer is no, I change whatever I would not like to be done to me. If the answer is yes, then I continue with whatever or however I have decided I want to present myself in class.</p>\n<p><strong>Bonding with students</strong></p>\n<p>Students prefer teachers who walk around, smile, give students attention and make eye contact</p>\n<p>Over the past 30 years, a great deal of research has been conducted in the US concerning what teachers can do to create closer relationships with students, especially by using various affinity-seeking measures, which include walking around the room, smiling and making regular and friendly eye contact with students.</p>\n<p>I always walk around while teaching, both in large and small classes, and find it strange when I see or hear of teachers who do not. Not only does it help to develop closer bonds between teachers and students, it is very important if we want to know what students are doing and whether they need support.</p>\n<p>When teaching, it is our responsibility to know what everyone is doing. Sometimes, I regret knowing what some students are doing, in particular, when they are not working on the assigned lesson material. However, if students know you might turn up at their desk any moment, hopefully, they will find it too strenuous to hide non-class-related activities every time you walk up to them and begin to pay more attention to the assigned work.</p>\n<p><strong>Smiling</strong></p>\n<p>It is interesting to note that among the non-verbal affinity-seeking behaviours noticed by US students, smiling and observing the class ranks as two of the 14 different aspects considered important.</p>\n<p>If students in the US consider these two as essential, one might assume that Thai students would be even more comfortable with a smiling - versus a non-smiling - teacher and this might play a major part in whether students liked the teacher or not.</p>\n<p><strong>Up and around</strong></p>\n<p>In meetings and dinners with speakers, audiences tend to pay more attention when the speaker is standing. Students should realize that it is important to listen carefully when a teacher is standing, which is when a teacher is more likely to be explaining an important concept or conducting classroom management.</p>\n<p>In contrast, when the teacher is sitting, the teacher may be explaining how to do something, listening to students interact or watching them complete an exercise. These activities require less concentration on what the teacher is saying. Therefore, teachers who choose the appropriate times to stand or sit will help students learn when they can relax and when they need to concentrate.</p>\n<p>When teaching, I sit and try to have students gather around my desk. If it is a conversation class, I stand from time to time. However, when monitoring groups, I like to sit with, in or near each group. If possible, I use a chair with wheels, so I can push my way around the room from one group to another. This way, I am always at eye level, and if I go by one group on my way to another group, coming by at eye level makes it easier for them to catch my attention.</p>\n<p>If a movable chair is not available, I arrange an empty chair in each group, so that when I come by, I have two options. Remain standing and interact as a teacher, or sit and provide support as a mentor.</p>\n<p>While class size and varying needs to maintain control may make it difficult to sit and interact with students at eye level, smiling and looking at students and moving around the room can help to create a closer bond.</p>\n<p>Getting students to like us can be difficult, especially when teaching a subject many may fear and loath. While these affinity-seeking measures might seem artificial, studies in the US and other countries have demonstrated that they increase positive feelings towards the teacher and, in turn, the course content. In short, affinity-seeking measures are one more tool to increase affective learning - the enjoyment experienced in learning.</p>\n<h3>#2 Giving students instructions</h3>\n<p><strong>Looking at activities from three directions</strong></p>\n<p>What activities I intend to use in class, and therefore the instructions I plan to use with students, are an important step in planning my classes. I believe this is important as I often find that instructions given in a textbook are usually beyond the linguistic capabilities of the students whom I would be teaching.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, if the instructions are too easy, will the resulting exercise be as equally easy, or will it require a more demanding use of the students\' command of English?</p>\n<p><strong>Three questions</strong></p>\n<p>When I review the material that I am going to teach, I begin with three questions. First, does the exercise have merit in terms of the learning goals set for a particular class or course? If the answer is no, I drop it from my lesson plan.</p>\n<p>Second, would I want to do this task if I were in this class? If the answer is no, I drop it from my lesson plan. Having sat on both sides of the desk, I know what I like to do; and what I do not like to do in a language class and, as such, I find it very difficult to be genuine in asking students to do something I might loath.</p>\n<p>Finally, can I understand and complete the exercise without having to look at the answers in the teacher\'s book? If the answer is no, I drop it from my lesson plan. If I cannot understand or answer an exercise, how can I expect my students to be able to do so?</p>\n<p><strong>Planning the instructions</strong></p>\n<p>Now that I have selected the material I want to use, I need to prepare three sets of instructions. To do this, I review whether the given instructions, or similar instructions, have been dealt with earlier in the course. If so, I review the problems that the students might have had previously and, if possible, make a note of any students who had difficulty in the past.</p>\n<p>I then review my students\' English abilities and determine if the instructions provided in the text need to be edited, simplified, or presented as given. With this in mind, I clearly delineate the steps I want to use in my instructions to make certain that the students can follow as I explain what I want them to do. This could involve adding to, or adapting, what is given in the text.</p>\n<p>Now that I know how to explain the instructions in a chronological order from start to finish, I look at the exercise from the opposite direction. I ask myself, \"If the students complete the exercise planned, what will their answers look like when they have finished?\"</p>\n<p>With this idea established, I prepare a second, often shorter, set of instructions that work backwards. This set of instructions, more a description of the completed exercise, lets the students know what their work will look like when they have completed it correctly.</p>\n<p>Working backwards, I repeat my instructions in reverse order and, if possible, I use different vocabulary and ideas. If the students did not understand my first set of instructions as I went through in chronological order, I do not see how repeating the same words and expressions will help their comprehension as I work backwards.</p>\n<p>Finally, as I work predominantly with adults, I explain why I am asking them to complete a particular exercise this way and how it fits into the learning objectives for that class and the course in general. At this point, I often explain that while they could probably complete an exercise faster using a different method, it is the process - completing the work as asked - and not the product - the final completed exercise - that will help to improve their English.</p>\n<p>Information-gap exercises and many reading exercises based on skills that are more useful in longer texts, but which in the material provided are based on a much shorter selection, are examples of exercises that students often see little point in following. Moreover, they usually require a more cumbersome and time-consuming method to complete, and so should be avoided.</p>\n<p>Once students have a clear idea of what to do, based on understanding what they are going to do, what it will look like when finished, and why I want them to do it, I find that most of them are willing to go along with my instructions.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, as I know that despite my best efforts, some students will have difficulties completing a task or will simply refuse to do it as asked; I monitor the initial efforts to ensure that all individuals, pairs or groups are on the right track before I settle in to monitor their progress.</p>\n<h3>#3 Motivation</h3>\n<p><strong>Employing student resources</strong></p>\n<p>Research concerning the role played by motivation in effective learning typically examines only the motivation to attend a learning session, to remain during the learning session and to make the most of what is being taught.</p>\n<p>While a great deal has been written about what motivates adult students to begin, or return to university, college or language class, the most important thing is to understand why they have decided to come to a class and how they can be motivated to become and remain motivated once they start a class.</p>\n<p><strong>Intrinsic motivation</strong></p>\n<p>While many adults will claim they came for extrinsic reasons - a certificate, a better job - these reasons often seem to decrease in value once a course begins and they begin to realize how much work will be involved.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, intrinsic techniques or conditions within the learner become important in creating motivation to learn. These motivators include to what extent students are able to see and then accept the benefit of what they are learning and how they acquire and maintain confidence in their ability to learn.</p>\n<p>With mixed abilities, ages and interests, it is often difficult to know how to encourage intrinsic motivation with a group of students. However, in examining each question, as teachers, it is our role to motivate students to reach their particular learning goals.</p>\n<p>While students can be led into activities outside the class that may reinforce intrinsic motivation through practical work and study, our teaching must also include adequate reinforcement to ensure that students continue with their learning.</p>\n<p>This reinforcement can be provided through continually demonstrating how much has been accomplished, the skills they have acquired both prior to the class with other teachers and in this class, and the increased ease or skills they have now compared with the situation before they started.</p>\n<p><strong>Success flagging</strong></p>\n<p>Confidence-building strategies include ideas and techniques used to prevent or to help students work through attitudes or beliefs that can limit or stop their participation in learning tasks.</p>\n<p>One answer is to use \"success flagging\", in which students are reminded about the successes previous students have had; or ways in which their work or social life will be easier or more profitable when they have learned or acquired the benefits of the course.</p>\n<p>In companies where a variety of students come through the same course, gaining permission from previous students to mention their names and successes can often be very motivating and can provide students with a possible mentor for the skill areas being presented.</p>\n<p><strong>Organization</strong></p>\n<p>An additional and important motivational concern is the need to ensure that content and the way it is presented continually draws student attention to what is being learned.</p>\n<p>Motivational strategies related to content include the need to ensure that what is presented, the way in which it is presented and all related activities match their expectations and experience. With this in mind, stories, visual presentation and humor are often very helpful.</p>\n<p>A personal story that explains an idea or clarifies a concept is a very powerful and often very enjoyable way of gaining the kind of interest needed for learning. For example, a story about how something to do with the content has value for the teacher can be a useful means to show how a topic, skill or knowledge does have personal worth.</p>\n<p>While most research on motivation in adult education recommends involving participants in the planning stage, this is seldom an option.</p>\n<p>In this case, motivational techniques are limited to those we can use in class and face to face with students, such as the sequencing of material or the inclusion of personal stories and examples.</p>\n<h3>#4 Exams</h3>\n<p><strong>Getting students to write the exam</strong></p>\n<p>If a class requires a content-based exam, it can be quite useful to have students write different question types for an upcoming exam and provide the answers to the questions they create.</p>\n<p><strong>Reasons </strong><br /><br />When students write exam questions, the side effects are extremely beneficial. First, they need to read the material, think about the content, then create the questions required and provide complete answers. As they will need to read carefully, students will practise and will soon improve their intensive reading skills.</p>\n<p>In addition, if the assignment to create questions specifies a limit to the number of questions to each page, section or chapter, students are subsequently encouraged to read more of the required material ahead of the exam. This is beneficial as it allows them the opportunity to return to class knowing which areas they do not understand or need further explanation.</p>\n<p>Second, as they need to write questions and provide answers, both writing and question-asking skills will be practised, leading to an improvement in both skills.</p>\n<p>Finally, as students must provide answers and a marking scheme, they come to understand how exams are written, how they can best prepare for exams and finally, how they can best answer exam questions.</p>\n<p><strong>Question types</strong></p>\n<p>There are five basic question types used in most exams: 1) true/false 2) multiple choices 3) matching 4) short essay and 5) fill in the blank.</p>\n<p>Each question format requires a different type of preparation. True/false questions involve reading material and determining which areas are potentially most confusing. In addition, students also need to change the content or ideas to produce a number of false answers.</p>\n<p>Multiple-choice questions not only require students to understand the question and know the correct answer, they need to be able to understand associated concepts well enough to create alternatives that will appear to be reasonable choices to other students. In addition, as all four choices must be equal or nearly equal in length and structure, ample practice in working with parallel style is needed.</p>\n<p>For matching questions, finding the vocabulary and matching definitions will encourage students to review material by looking for clues of words and definitions that the author has included in the material. These include the use of bold print, parentheses, brackets, the verb to be, relative clauses, and hyphens.</p>\n<p>In short essays, students need to provide answers and a scoring guide, leading to a need to examine quite closely the sufficient areas of the material to create the number of required questions and answers.</p>\n<p>Finally, fill in the blank, based on either content or grammar points studied, provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate, through their selection of blanks, what they find or believe their fellow students will find most difficult, and perhaps lead to areas to review further in class.</p>\n<p><strong>Concerns </strong></p>\n<p>Teachers who have not tried this idea might suggest students will trade questions among themselves. They might, but if a class is large enough and students do not duplicate assignments, question variety can be quite extensive.</p>\n<p>If 20 students write five questions from each of the five areas and even if only 50 percent are original, that produces 250 questions for the students to evaluate. Ironically, the questions produced by students are often much more difficult than the questions that most teachers would create.</p>\n<p>Asking them to write questions based on the content studied not only creates a useful pool of questions, but also offers a valuable insight into areas where they are experiencing difficulty, evidenced by their reluctance to produce questions from a particular theme or by the mistakes in the questions they produce.</p>\n<p>Be sure to teach what is on the examination</p>\n<p>Increasingly, academic research and teacher discussions have returned to the question of standard tests and what is omitted or stressed on when teaching for an end-of-term test or a national examination.<br /><br />In particular, this could be true with students who wish to achieve certain IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores. Such students often object to being taught anything they do not see as directly related to a particular test.</p>\n<p><strong>The need to test</strong></p>\n<p>Testing students for a grade or promotion from one level to another is usually a necessary aspect of teaching, and while it can cause difficulties, if the test is carefully crafted, it can encourage students to undertake and complete useful in-class and out-of-class assignments.</p>\n<p>Make sure that what is tested has been taught. A global concern is whether what is being taught and tested helps students expand their knowledge.</p>\n<p><strong>Reading and listening</strong></p>\n<p>Testing reading and listening is difficult, especially if pre-reading or pre-listening exercises are used to prepare students for the material practiced in class. With this in mind, from time to time, both listening and reading should be presented, as they will be in a test situation - without warm-up exercises or vocabulary preview.</p>\n<p>Another concern is whether the topics in a practice or actual test are new to the students. If they are new, this could prove unfair to those who do not have a background in the topic areas. The need to create an equal opportunity for all students requires selecting a variety of materials so that, overall, some students are not favored over others.</p>\n<p>A final concern is to maintain the difficulty level of the material being used in a test. If it comes from the same text, fine. However, what is to prevent students taking the initiative to review or preview material in their textbooks? This has become an emerging concern, as more and more published material, teacher books, scripts and listening materials can be downloaded from bootleg sites. Thus, teachers need to be aware that students often find it easier to find teacher materials than we teachers do.</p>\n<p>Material from another source is perhaps best, and at the same time, provides a set of material students may not know. In using this material in class, students are exposed to both reading and listening material they have not seen before.</p>\n<p>In bringing unfamiliar material into class for practice, and then testing, all students are provided an equal opportunity to work with material for the first time in class. Whether or not the topic areas are something they know already, however, is a factor we cannot control. However, while it cannot be controlled, a wide variety of topics and themes will help towards that end.</p>\n<p><strong>Speaking</strong></p>\n<p>Most students taking the major speaking tests are familiar with the questions and routines. This is fine. If we look at the real world, most people prepare themselves to talk about or answer different questions depending on where they are going, for example, a dinner party or a networking event.</p>\n<p>Students deserve the same opportunity, but with speaking, it is important they cannot benefit from memorizing long passages that pass for conversation. Again, as with other skills, if conversation is to be tested, students should be given practice with the style of speaking they will be expected to do and then, in a test situation, given something new to deal with that tests their conversational skills.</p>\n<p>It can be difficult to persuade students to practice skills over learning content. However, if the exams they take are skill-based and not content-based, it should be easier to encourage them to practice skills instead of memorizing content.</p>\n<p><strong>Teaching students how to take exams</strong></p>\n<p>In my experience, few students have been given insight to how they should approach writing an exam, or on the importance of understanding the exam\'s scoring scheme, in terms of the time allowed.</p>\n<p>Taking an exam, or pacing yourself correctly when completing something that is bound by time constraints, is a very important and useful skill, not only in academia, but also in the real world.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, I take time to instruct students how to be a more competent exam-taker, and with the exams I give, I help them to put this theory into practice.</p>\n<p><strong>Read first</strong></p>\n<p>It is surprising how many students do not read an exam before they start and simply begin with the first question and work their way through. This is not a good idea, especially if the first question is difficult and hurts their confidence. My first question is always very difficult and invariably worth one or two points.</p>\n<p>Read through the questions, I recommend; then make a list with three columns.</p>\n<p>In the first column, list the questions in order of difficulty, starting with the easiest. In the second column, record the maximum points awarded for each question. Third, estimate the score you believe you can achieve. Finally, add up the figures in the third column, and the total will be sufficient for a passing grade. On many exams, I provided them with this chart and note, and the students knew why the aid was there and used it.</p>\n<p>When students know they can pass an exam, particularly a difficult one, they should be able to relax. Moreover, while they still need to write it, this reduction in tension should help them work on the exam more efficiently. In addition, as they work on easier questions, they may find that the initially difficult questions have become easier.</p>\n<p>It is not a perfect solution and is not always applicable, for example with listening tests. With reading and writing tests, however, I encourage students to answer the questions in any order they choose based on the above guide.</p>\n<p><strong>Time-score ratio</strong></p>\n<p>When taking an exam, divide the time allowed by the number of questions and points being awarded. I find it heartbreaking when strong students spend an inordinate amount of time answering a question worth four points, and then lack enough time to complete the last question worth 20.</p>\n<p>In a two-hour exam, I recommend taking 10 minutes at the start to read the exam and to complete the calculations mentioned above, and trying to spare 10 more minutes at the end to review the answers, or to have enough time in case a question takes longer to answer than planned. With a 120-minute exam, this will leave 100 minutes to work on the exam itself.</p>\n<p>Then return to the table and add two more columns. In the fourth column, record how many minutes it should take to complete each answer. In the last column, record the time the first question starts and create a schedule as to when you should start answering the rest of the questions.</p>\n<p>I like to proctor my own exams so that I can write the start, finish and remaining times on the board. While I do not want to disturb the students, I will write how much time is left every 10 minutes, and I find many students realising that they are behind schedule and picking up the pace.</p>\n<p>Taking exams is not easy for many students, but it remains an integral part of their education. I would hope that by providing tips and demonstrating the benefit that comes from organising, students will be able to handle future exams with increased confidence and levels of success.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2010-08-22 20:52:46',1,'2010-08-22 20:52:46','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2232,21,'Only non-smokers need apply','only-non-smokers-need-apply','Are we witnessing the start of a new trend?','In the 90’s, there was no shame attached to being a male teacher who smoked. You were part of the fashionable majority. But times have changed. As more and more teaching jobs are asking for \'non-smokers\' only, is it time to say goodbye to the foul weed?','<p>I posted a job ad today for a &lsquo;native English teacher and a &lsquo;non-smoker\'. You rarely see a job description that insists on a new hire being a non-smoker - at least as far as teaching jobs in Thailand are concerned - but could we be witnessing the start of a new trend? Has there ever been a better time to kick one\'s addiction to the foul weed?\n<p>I\'ll put my hand up. I\'m a smoker. The truth is I damn well enjoy a cigarette. Looking back, I\'ve always worked in schools where the majority of male teachers were smokers and I\'ve spent many a happy work-break in a huddle of nicotine addicts congregated near the fire escape or outside in the street. And there we\'d puff on our ciggies, share a joke and a laugh, and chat about work-related issues. The regular smoke break became a not-to-be-missed social occasion whether you fancied a cigarette or not. In many ways, the smoke break became just as addictive and routine as lighting up a cigarette. In the 90\'s, there was no shame attached to being a male teacher who happened to enjoy a smoke. You were part of the fashionable majority. Sometimes, if you were in a class with a bunch of particularly uncooperative students, it was only the thought of the next smoke break that kept you going.</p>\n<p>Then one afternoon I walked into a writing class of about a dozen adult students. It was the first lesson after lunch if I recall and of course, the teachers\' room smoking club had been in full swing. There was one student in the group who wasn\'t shy when it came to expressing his opinions. He\'d already told one of my colleagues he was overweight and another teacher that his clothes looked &lsquo;poor\'. Now it was my turn for a dressing down. The student put a finger up to his nose and after searching for the right vocabulary, looked at me and said \"teacher - you stink\"</p>\n<p>I felt myself blush. His comment was hurtful but I can\'t deny he was probably right. I looked around the room and gambled for support from the other students. Everyone nodded in the affirmative. Sorry teacher - you really do stink.</p>\n<p>I excused myself from the class for a few moments and dived into the nearest bathroom. One of the smoker\'s biggest problems is that they never realize just how badly they smell and how offensive it is to those around them.</p>\n<p>From then on I adopted what I call my &lsquo;smokers\' ritual\'. Every time I put out a cigarette, I would go straight to the restroom, suck on something strong and minty, wash my hands with soap and water, splash on a bit of cheap eau de cologne and finish off with some intensive body lotion. I even bought a dainty toilet bag to keep all my stuff in. The toilet bag essentially became my secret smoker\'s kit. New teachers couldn\'t believe that I was a nicotine junkie because I always smelled so good. \"You\'re a &lsquo;stealth smoker\"&nbsp;commented one colleague. And I\'ve been that way ever since.</p>\n<p>Many teacher smokers sometimes wonder if it\'s worth all the effort. If you work in a school with easy access to a smoking area and a group of colleagues all willing to join you for a &lsquo;quick drag\' - then it\'s no problem. But find yourself teaching a corporate group on the 40th floor of a &lsquo;smoker-unfriendly\' office building, and that ten-minute break becomes an operation of military precision. You rush to the elevator hoping that you won\'t have to wait long for a lift to the ground floor. Then it\'s a mad dash to the smoking area - a quick cigarette with barely a pause between puffs and then hopefully a fast elevator back up to the 40th floor. And don\'t forget you still need to leave a couple of minutes for your smokers\' ritual with the soap, mints and perfume. No time for a coffee even. The cigarette becomes priority number one. It\'s ludicrous. Surely a few puffs on a cigarette can\'t be worth putting yourself through such an ordeal but smokers do it all the time.</p>\n<p>Like most major cities around the world, Bangkok has become extremely &lsquo;smoker unfriendly\'. Smoking areas in office buildings can be small and hard to locate - that\'s if the building even has one. And those who smoke all know what it\'s like to enjoy a cigarette on that &lsquo;five minute walk to a new corporate class\' only to find when they arrive at the entrance doors, that there isn\'t a single public garbage bin or ashtray in sight. You then have to go through the harrowing process of cigarette butt disposal. What are your options? You could put your nub end down that drain but how many security staff or litter police are going to jump on you? You could extinguish your cigarette on the side of that plastic litter bin but what if the lighted end falls onto all that paper? What if one of your students looks out of the window mid-way through the lesson and amid a cacophony of wailing sirens, wonders why half of Bangkok\'s fire service has turned up? It\'s all part of the joys of being a teacher and smoker.</p>\n<p>I went to lunch with an old friend a few days ago. He hasn\'t smoked a cigarette for years but was once a self-confessed forty-a-day man. At one stage, he even received a written warning from one employer stating that his constant coughing was irritating and distracting his co-workers. That said Bryan is a rare breed. He\'s an ex-smoker who still sympathizes with how difficult it must be for a modern day smoker</p>\n<p>As we walked to a local restaurant, we passed an apartment building and spied a gentleman enjoying a cigarette up on his fourth floor balcony. I say enjoy because the midday sun was blazing hot and he was in direct sunlight. He was probably yet another smoker who had decided to banish himself to the relative peace of the balcony rather than endure protests from those irritating non-smokers inside.&nbsp; Bryan suggested that the best course of action would be for the authorities&nbsp;to completely ban cigarettes. Period. \"Make the bloody things illegal\" he said, rather than treat smokers as social outcasts.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a teacher who has managed to kick the habit, you have my respect. If you haven\'t got the will-power, you still get my respect. Just don\'t forget the mints when you go for a job interview. To end on a positive note for the smokers out there, at a recent medical check up, the doctor bemoaned my lack of exercise. He said \"you need to do something that regularly leaves you short of breath\" Hang on. Isn\'t that exactly what smoking does for you?</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/smoking.gif','2010-08-22 23:44:19',1,'2010-08-22 23:44:19','2010-08-23 14:02:20'),(2234,20,'Spice up your teacher threads','spice-up-your-teacher-threads','Alternatives to the shirt and tie combo','What can a teacher do if they are fed up with the standard \'teacher\'s uniform\' of business shirt, necktie and trousers?

Well I think it is fair to say that Ratchadaphisek (better known as Ratchada amongst seasoned expats) has a shot at being the new Sukhumvit. That is not to say that Ratchada has or will eclipse Sukhumvit as the number one choice&nbsp;for expats, but more that the comparison is a testament to how far Ratchada has come and how livable this area of Bangkok now is for expats and locals alike.</p>\n<p>I have not tried to compare the Ramkhamhaeng, Lat Prao or Ram Intra areas&nbsp;to Sukhumvit -&nbsp;but Ratchada now has amenities and residences that&nbsp;many of these other&nbsp;Bangkok districts&nbsp;lack.&nbsp;That is not to dispel or insult these other areas of Bangkok in any way at all; I for one spent 3 years happily living in the center of Ramkhamhaeng just across from the university and enjoyed the atmosphere and hustle and bustle of the place.</p>\n<p>So what has happened to Ratchada to&nbsp;give it this arguably superior status? Well obviously it has benefitted from the MRT stations and metro line which opened up in August 2004 in time for the Queen\'s birthday. This has given Ratchada not only a new lease of life, but has then encouraged others to come and live in the area.</p>\n<p>Ratchada has the benefit of&nbsp;five new MRT stations spreading from Rama 9 MRT station to Ratchada MRT station, all of which have encouraged rapid expansion and development of condominiums, apartments and shopping centers in the area. Search&nbsp;a <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/bts-search\">MRT/ BTS map of Ratchada</a> and you can see how many new and attractive residences have been built in the area.</p>\n<p>This is fantastic news for teachers living in Bangkok and teachers thinking of moving to Bangkok, as the accommodation offered in this area does not only offer the convenience of a reliable and clean underground metro system, but are generally built of a high quality and offer stylish living at a price much cheaper to that found on Sukhumvit road. Looking at a few of the&nbsp;five MRT stations dotted along Ratchada road and what is on offer within their vicinity&nbsp;you can see&nbsp;the level of quality and convenience I am referring to.</p>\n<p>At Rama 9 station there are several condos and apartments offering good deals for people looking for a&nbsp;studio or small one bedroom. The Rama 9 station is right in front of Fortune Town and conveniently a Tesco Lotus supermarket. A brand new condo in the area called A-Space offers studios for as little as THB 7 500/mth and one bedroom units starting at THB 11-13 000/mths depending upon quality of furnishings. A brand new complex with a very large swimming pool, it can offer a good level of comfort at a low-price.</p>\n<p>Further down the line at Thai Cultural Center MRT station there is the Esplanade, a flash new shopping plaza offering good quality shops, restaurants, a cinema and even an ice-rink. This really is a great central area for people to meet and socialize in Ratchada. Also close to the station is a Robinsons\', a Carrefour and a Jusco, making TCC MRT the most \'entertaining\' station in Ratchada.</p>\n<p>Huay-Kwang MRT station (you will see this spelt at least half-a-dozen ways) has a number of quality condos close by, with the Ideo Huay Kwang being one of the best, and within 50m of the MRT station, making it&nbsp;very convenient. At THB 11 000 for a studio it is a bit more expensive than A-Space, but most people will agree the step-up in quality and convenience justifies the price. With a swimming pool, gymnasium, 24 hour security and car park, you can feel both comfortable and safe.</p>\n<p>Then there is Sutthisan MRT station, which again is surrounded by quality, brand new condominiums, such as <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/life@ratchada-suthisarn-1368\">Life at Suthisarn</a>&nbsp;a high-rise, with good quality one bedroom and two bedroom units, starting as low as THB 14 000/mth for a small one bedroom.</p>\n<p>There are of course plenty of other condos and apartments in the area and searching through an up-dated and extensive real estate website will reveal deals as cheap as THB 10 000/mth for 60sqm one bedrooms within easy&nbsp;reach of MRT stations in this area.</p>\n<p>Ratchada is now peppered with retail outlets, condos and apartments all offering international standards of living at near Thai price levels. And in addition it trumps Sukhumvit on some levels, with more access to local produce, local markets and that unique Thai atmosphere. All this goes together to make Ratchada not only the new Sukhumvit, but also just a great place to live.</p>\n</p>','','2010-08-24 17:44:44',1,'2010-08-24 17:44:44','2011-03-16 18:06:45'),(2245,58,'We\'re so sorry','were-so-sorry','A sad and shocking day for all Filipinos','Millions of Filipinos, including me, were shocked at the poor handling of the hostage situation by our own security enforcers.

No one in this world would want something like that to happen. Life should be valued.</p>\n<p>I politely ask for&nbsp;the attention of the world. Please do not judge and mistreat us just because of what happened tonight. I have been searching the net and&nbsp;uncovered terrible words and accusations. Hong Kong&nbsp;has advised its people&nbsp;to avoid traveling here, China and HK has&nbsp;banned Filipinos and has called for The Philippines to be considered a no-go zone.</p>\n<p>I can\'t blame you for what you have decided but I&nbsp;wish you could understand. Our country is now drowning&nbsp;in a sea of problems. And I know for sure that we have&nbsp;helped you in a way or another. Let peace and understanding reign at&nbsp;this time.</p>\n<p>I know that this letter will just become trash but I&nbsp;beg you&nbsp;to understand. On behalf of the Philippine population.. WE ARE SORRY. As&nbsp;one song puts it...</p>\n<p>\"And I believe that in my life I will see an end to hopelessness, giving-up and suffering. And we all stand together this one time then no one will get left behind. Stand up for life.

A dictionary of word collocations.&nbsp;The book has been created to help upper intermediate to advanced students write more natural and accurate English.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To see how it works, let\'s take a simple noun such as \'neck\'. As in any other dictionary, there is firstly&nbsp;a definition of the word, in this case - the part of the body that joins the head to the body. Then there is a selection of adjectives commonly used with that word (bad, broken, fractured, stiff, sore, scrawny, slender&nbsp;etc), a selection of verbs used with the word (strain, stretch, extend, break, snap, etc), and a few example sentences to show how certain&nbsp;collocations would work. <em>In the warm up, Ferdinand cricked his neck, so he couldn\'t play.&nbsp;</em></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">While the Collocations dictionary will make a worthwhile addition to any TEFL reference bookshelf,&nbsp;I don\'t think it\'s ever&nbsp;going to sell by the proverbial truckload. It has&nbsp;fairly limited use.&nbsp;I can see perhaps a&nbsp;very serious student of written&nbsp;English dipping into it if there is&nbsp;truly a word whose possible collocations&nbsp;they want to find out more about. And for any teacher with an intermediate class, they might take a word and use the collocations as a ten-minute lesson filler, but I\'m struggling to see&nbsp;the dictionary\'s&nbsp;value&nbsp;beyond that.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I suppose the dictionary&nbsp;could well serve as a reference for native English speakers who&nbsp;write regular&nbsp;blogs and articles and are suffering from the dreaded \'writer\'s block\' but as William Zinsser points out in his brilliant \'On Writing Well\' (which for me is the definitive book on the topic of writing) - if a collocation comes too easily to the mind of a writer, then it\'s probably a collocation every other writer would use.&nbsp;So find something different.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">View this book on <a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/Macmillan-Collocations-Dictionary-Publishers-Limited/dp/0230724035\">Amazon</a></p>\n<hr />\n<h5 style=\"text-align: left;\">August 2010 - Teaching English Grammar by Jim Scrivener</h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This month,&nbsp;ajarn\'s vote goes to&nbsp;<em>Teaching English Grammar</em> (What to Teach and How to Teach it)&nbsp;by Jim Scrivener. It\'s published by <a href=\"http://www.macmillanenglish.com/Worldwide_Generic.aspx?ccode=TH\">Macmillan Education</a> and weighs in at 288 pages. Jim Scrivener has taught EFL in many countries including Kenya, Russia and Hungary. He\'s also something of a Bob Dylan fanatic apparently.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Like most, if not all grammar reference books, <em>Teaching English Grammar</em> is divided into logical&nbsp;units, starting with singular and plural and countable and uncountable nouns before eventually&nbsp;reaching the dizzy heights of defining and non-defining relative clauses.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">But whereas most grammar books tend to present the grammar structure first and then provide you with an assortment of&nbsp;gap-fill exercises that you can rush away and photocopy, <em>Teaching English Grammar</em> presents you with ideas on how to deliver an enjoyable&nbsp;grammar lesson without a single dull and boring&nbsp;cloze exercise in sight.&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\'s take unit 18 as an example, which happens to be on&nbsp;prepositions of place (in front of, on top of, opposite, etc) I choose this topic because my mind always goes blank whenever I have to teach it.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The unit starts off with a selection of prepositions of place, along with an accompanying&nbsp;diagram, but how are you going to teach it? Well,&nbsp;it\'s the practice ideas&nbsp;part of the book that teachers will love.&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The book suggests telling a story with lots of prepositions in it - when the robot walked into the room he saw a desk. In front of the desk was a green bucket. There was a chicken in the bucket. On top of the desk there were three eggs. etc, etc. After you tell the story, start again and see if the the students can help you by telling you where things&nbsp;were.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Or what about a teacher picture dictation where you describe a picture and the students draw it from scratch? There is a tree next to a building. There is a car near the tree. On top of the car is a bird. etc, etc.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">There\'s an hour lesson there for even the most jaded and hungover Monday morning teacher looking for a bit of divine inspiration&nbsp;and minimal&nbsp;time to prepare. The mind&nbsp;can go&nbsp;blank for even the most experienced teachers.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Although I think the activities are undoubtedly the strength of the book, there are neat sections in each unit on what student&nbsp;mistakes to look out for, and also sections on&nbsp;teaching tips and concept questions.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This isn\'t just a grammar book. It\'s a whole teacher\'s survival kit. I never thought I\'d see a grammar&nbsp;book to better Murphy\'s <em>Basic Grammar in Use</em> or Swann\'s <em>Practical English Usage</em> but by jove, Mr Scrivener&nbsp;has raised the bar with this little beauty.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">View this book on <a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teaching-English-Grammar-What-Teach/dp/0230723217/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1287546578&amp;sr=1-1\">Amazon</a></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/botm.gif','2010-10-19 19:59:54',1,'2010-10-19 19:59:54','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2287,10,'A dream lifestyle in Thailand','a-dream-lifestyle-in-thailand','Does Chiang Mai offer the perfect place to live and work?

It gave me the opportunity to catch up with a very close friend who has lived up there for several years. And let\'s face it - it\'s always a pleasure to get out of Bangkok for a few days.</p>\n<p>This was probably my fifth or sixth visit to The Rose of the North. My only regret is that I don\'t get up there more often. And with competition rife among the low-cost airlines, you can now do the return flight for as little as 3,000 baht from Bangkok. Now that\'s what I call a travel bargain.</p>\n<p>I\'ll put my hands up and admit I\'ve been somewhat unkind to Chiang Mai in past blogs. On past visits, I\'ve usually had the job of playing tour guide to my ageing parents and a couple of their friends. It\'s never easy to move a group of elderly folk around a sizeable Asian city without having every tout and unofficial tour operator descending on you from miles around. And Chiang Mai certainly has its share of locals all wanting to pile you into whatever vehicle they have and take you all on a tour of the sights. In the area around the Thae Pae gate, these guys hang around on literally every street corner. Run out of shampoo, and a simple walk from your hotel to the nearby convenience store becomes an exercise in running the gauntlet. You avoid eye contact, you shake your head and you just keep on walking.</p>\n<p>I realize now that this has always been my problem with Chiang Mai and what\'s made me develop a rather negative attitude towards the place. I\'ve simply spent far too much time hanging around the tacky tourist area near the old moat. My pal Andy summed it up perfectly <br />\"I never venture into that part of town. There\'s no need to. That area of Chiang Mai to me is what lower Sukhumwit in Bangkok is to you. You only go when you have absolutely no other choice\"</p>\n<p>He was right. Every other business in that central area seems to offer foot massages, hill-tribe treks, tailor-made tours or quirky ethnic clothing. Some places even offer a combination of all things under one roof. Chiang Mai can be tremendously dispiriting if all you fancy is to be left alone for a quiet afternoon stroll and have zero interest in being taken to elephant training camps, tropical aviaries or exotic monkey shows.</p>\n<p>The restaurants in the central moat area - and oh boy, is there is an abundance of great places to eat - do a very commendable job of fusing an authentic Thai food menu with western favorites such as a full English breakfast and sausage and mash, but where there are finicky, budget-conscious tourists, there are always weary waitresses. I ate at several restaurants in the tourist ghetto and while I wouldn\'t describe the service in any of them as &lsquo;unfriendly\' I wasn\'t exactly rushing back to the hotel to log on to Trip Advisor to tell the world about them either.</p>\n<p>But let\'s leave the tourists to their baggy linen pants and their Ping River rafting experiences and move into the Chiang Mai suburbs because it\'s in the Chiang Mai suburbs that &lsquo;an idyllic lifestyle\' begins to take on a whole new meaning.</p>\n<p>My pal Andy has spent five years looking for the perfect Chiang Mai apartment, and he\'s moved digs several times in the process. When he invited me over for a gander at his new condo, overlooking the Doi Suthep mountain, I got a feeling he wouldn\'t be going anywhere soon. Forget the good-sized bedroom, the spacious, comfortable lounge and the fitted kitchen, all in a well-appointed complex with its own gym and swimming pool - it\'s that view from the window that would sell the place for even the most jaded real estate agent. I stood in the kitchen and looked out at the mountain tops hidden by mist and angry grey clouds and said \"how could you ever tire of that view?\"</p>\n<p>Andy\'s a funny bugger at times though. It\'s almost as if he doesn\'t appreciate what he has. I know familiarity breeds contempt and all that but when Andy said that life even in the midst of nature\'s glorious bounty can still be routine and sometimes lonely, I had to remind him that there were probably ten million people in the UK who would gladly change places with him in a heartbeat.</p>\n<p>Over the four days in Chiang Mai I\'m not ashamed to say I became very envious of Andy and his lifestyle. Whether it was zipping around on his motorcycle or navigating the sois and sub-sois on his trusty mountain bike, he always had something to do, somewhere to go or someone to see. Out in his own little Chiang Mai suburb, far from the maddening crowds, Andy knew every decent restaurant and every special lunch menu. We sipped ice cold lattes in one of Chiang Mai\'s numerous modern coffee shops and to get the heart pumping, we ambled half-way up Doi Suthep in the midday sun, as only mad dogs and Englishmen do - much to the amusement of the Thais as they drove past in their hired taxis. What a perfect life you could lead in Chiang Mai.</p>\n<p>I delved deeper into Andy\'s exercise and health regime and found out that walking up Doi Suthep was something of a daily ritual. Sometimes he makes the journey alone and other times a newly-made friend will accompany him on the steep ascent. After a couple of hours of vigorous power-walking and a quick check of the stopwatch, Andy will take lunch at the local temple and a meal consisting of brown rice and something else disgustingly healthy, all washed down with bottled water and fruit juice. Listening to him go on about how he\'d embraced a lifestyle far removed from the one he led in Bangkok, made me feel more and more out of condition.</p>\n<p>\"You need to take care of your health Phil and start moving around a bit my lad. Too many hours spent sitting at that computer can\'t be good for you\"</p>\n<p>Andy was right again. Damn those reformed couch potatoes!</p>\n<p>Since I\'ve returned to Bangkok, I\'ve spent considerable time surfing Chiang Mai property websites. I get the notion that the grass could well be greener on the other side. It would be a few years before I made the move but it\'s certainly a goal to aim for. I\'m now trying to get my wife to buy into the idea of &lsquo;life up\'t north\' and to her credit, she\'s keen on the idea without exactly gushing with enthusiasm. So far so good.</p>\n<p>Many Bangkok expats still view Chiang Mai as a bit of a backwater. It can\'t be much fun having to travel all the way to Bangkok just to see a western movie or get a decent pizza. However, Chiang Mai has developed beyond recognition in the last decade. Out on the motorcycle with Andy opened my eyes to that aspect. Chiang Mai has all the bars, restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets and shopping malls you could ever need. We even poked our nose into a couple of IT malls and they were both on a par with anything you would see in the Bangkok suburbs. So no worries about getting a broken computer repaired.</p>\n<p>Best of all, Chiang Mai has a wonderful relaxed feel to it. It\'s a place that begs you to slow down and take things easier and you start to chill out the moment you land at the airport. Chiang Mai might well have an airport that boasts the word &lsquo;international\' in its name, but it\'s still distinctly &lsquo;toy-town\'. You pull your baggage off a lazy, slow-moving carousel, you saunter through a deserted arrivals area and there\'s not a single soul pulling at your sleeve and barking &lsquo;taxi! taxi!\" In fact once you\'ve paid the very reasonable airport taxi fee at the official kiosk, it\'s quite a job to hunt down the actual taxi drivers. Eventually you find them - sitting under a shady tree playing checkers or enjoying a chat and a smoke. I had a lady drive me into town and she wouldn\'t hear of me struggling to get my bag out of the trunk once we\'d arrived at the hotel. What a perfect start to any four-day break.</p>\n<p>If only teaching salaries in Chiang Mai matched those on offer in the capital and there was an abundance of teaching work available. Chiang Mai would be the ultimate paradise in which to live and work.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2010-08-31 19:07:31',1,'2010-08-31 19:07:31','2010-09-01 20:08:32'),(2297,53,'Impressions of home','impressions-of-home','Observations on a country and culture I\'d almost forgotten','I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly, polite and nice the people were.

I was there for about two and a half weeks. I really enjoyed the visit and while I would not go so far to claim I experienced reverse culture shock, there were a number of observations I had which would seem to have been influenced by having a slightly different perspective from the average American, which comes from my living abroad for many years.</p>\n<p><strong>Friendliness</strong></p>\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly, polite and nice the people were. Maybe this was because I was primarily in smaller towns and rural areas, but even while in the airports in Chicago and Denver, it just seemed so easy to strike up conversations with the people I were interacting with. I am not implying that Americans are friendlier than people from other countries, but in comparison to my memories and expectations, I was pleasantly surprised.</p>\n<p><strong>Big</strong></p>\n<p>Everything seemed so big. The people seemed big (in comparison to people in Asia). I am not a small (thin) guy myself, but it seemed a little unusual to be surrounding by so many people my size and larger.</p>\n<p>Nearly everyone seemed to driving huge vehicles. Having recently spent quite a bit of time in Vietnam, I have grown accustomed to seeing huge blocks of building supplies or other equipment being transported while strapped to 90cc motorcycles. However in America, it seemed normal for people to drive around in huge six or eight passenger SUVs with additional cargo space while only carrying a single person and maybe a briefcase. Another time I watched as a farmer was using an extremely large tractor, which could easy pull an eighteen disc plough, to pull a small mower in order to mow the grass alongside his house. Seemed like a whole lot of machine to use for the job at hand.</p>\n<p>I went out to eat a few times, and while I am a pretty good feeder myself, the serving sizes seemed huge. I ordered a burger and fries at one place and it looked big enough to feed a family of four (however, I buckled down and finished it off as to not waste the food). Another time I went into a fast food outlet and ordered a large soda, and was given what looked like a tub while could easily hold a half-gallon of liquid. In addition, the prices for most items seemed pretty big as well.<br />Also houses and yards around houses seemed so big. Roads were big and compared to most of Asia, often seemed nearly empty. The space between houses and buildings and the comparative emptiness gives the impressions of a big country, with plenty of room to spare.</p>\n<p><strong>Stuff (material possessions)</strong></p>\n<p>Although the current economic slowdown was a major topic of conversation while I was back home, my general impression was that on average people in the USA have much more stuff than they did when I lived there in the mid 1990s and earlier. Despite the fact many families have very large houses, in comparison to what is seen in Asia, people still don\'t have enough room to store all of their stuff. Therefore one sees storage facilities all over where people can pay money to store all the stuff they don\'t have room for in their homes. In fact, from my impressions of driving around and seeing all the new storage facilities, it would appear the stuff storage business is one industry that is growing in the USA despite the economic slowdown.</p>\n<p>Many conversations between family and friends seemed to be focused on stuff; where to buy it, the prices of it and how to use it. There were many times I was completely left out of conversations for lengthy periods of time as others were discussing brands and products in detail that I had little knowledge of or interest in. I do like my stuff, but I just seem to have less of it, as well as less knowledge and interest in it than do many people back home.</p>\n<p><strong>Self-service</strong></p>\n<p>I went with members of my family grocery shopping, and was amazed at the fact they did their check-out without interacting with another human being. They were able to scan their own items through the bar code reader and then bagged their own groceries. Amazing! Of course, I was used to the self-service gasoline stations which have been used extensively for decades, but I couldn\'t figure out how the self-service check-in at the airport worked. Also, when I went to a fast-food outlet for the one time during the trip, I made a fool of myself by ordering a specific drink when all the person taking my order did was give me a cup to fill up myself with whatever drink I wanted.</p>\n<p>While staying in a modest hotel during the business part of my trip, I inquired about getting my clothes washed and the staff at the hotel looked at me like I was from Mars and informed me where I could find the coin-operated laundry machines where I could wash my clothes myself (which I did). Also the breakfast the hotel provided was all self-service (I could even make my own waffles). I understand the primary reason for all of this self-service and automation is in the high wage country of the USA machines are generally more cost effective than are people, still it took some getting used to after living and working in areas where labor is generally cheaper and more service is provided.</p>\n<p>Overall I really enjoyed the trip and might return to live in the USA again someday if the right professional opportunity arises, but some adjustments in the attitudes and behaviors I have grown accustomed to while living abroad would have to occur.\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2010-09-01 08:04:53',1,'2010-09-01 08:04:53','2010-09-01 22:10:54'),(2341,52,'September 2010','september-2010','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers.','This month, we\'ve got news on one TEFL course that concentrates on a more academic style of English including how to teach TOEFL and IELTS courses and another course provider expands into new locations around Asia.','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<p>Chiang Mai has been voted the <a href=\"http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2010/cities\">second best city in the world</a> by the readers of Travel and Leisure magazine (run by American Express) so it\'s obviously not a bad place to do a TEFL course.

Furthermore, a lot of reasons that trigger students’ behavior have to be addressed too, for if they are not, problems will surface','<p>Every teacher in&nbsp;their teaching career has experienced a class that&nbsp;they are&nbsp;not pleased with. Agree or disagree?\n<p>Take the case of one teacher who said to herself, \"I feel like walking out of this room. It\'s like hell. The students are really naughty. What must I do?\"</p>\n<p>Who are naughty students? What are the reasons why they are like that? How can teachers make them behave?</p>\n<p>According to an internet contributor, Aida, the word \"naughty\' means mischievous. It refers to children who misbehave in minor ways especially if what they do has an imaginative or funny side of it. On the other hand, the dictionary refers to it as synonymous to badly behaved, behaving disobediently, or bad. But according to one of my close friends, A &lsquo;sanook\' class is one with students who create a lot of intolerable noise.\" Another one said, \"They are students who don\'t like to participate. Only 5 or 6 students join in learning the lesson.\" Majority of the teachers I\'ve talked to said, \"They do their own thing and are&nbsp;oblivious&nbsp;to what\'s happening in the classroom.\" For others, \"Naughty students are those who disturb the class as a whole and spoil the teacher\'s day.\" Do you have classes like these?</p>\n<p>Now that we know who naughty kids are, it\'s high time for us to find out what factors cause naughtiness so that we will be able to handle them well. Yes, we\'ve got to find out more why my class, your class, and many teachers\' classes behave differently.</p>\n<p>I have gathered several inputs from my colleagues and friends about the probable causes of naughtiness in schools.</p>\n<p><strong>A Critical Mass Exists</strong></p>\n<p>This means that a group of naughty kids are assigned en masse&nbsp;to a particular class. For instance, a set of hyperactive kids can be placed in the same class&nbsp;with&nbsp;ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Even if there is only a handful of them, it&nbsp;will still&nbsp;disrupt the class and once their needs are not really met, they will surely affect the class</p>\n<p><strong>Unequal Sex Distribution</strong><br />Another reason why students are naughty is that there is an unequal distribution of the sexes. In this case, the class comprises more boys than girls. Sex is indeed a factor. Consider the words of this nursery rhyme:<br />What are little boys made of? <br />What are little boys made of? <br />Frogs and snails <br />And puppy-dogs\' tails, <br />That\'s what little boys are made of.</p>\n<p><strong>Mental ability</strong></p>\n<p>This also contributes in having a badly behaved class, for students with lower academic standing have shorter attention spans and their interest in learning is entirely different from that of achievers. That\'s why I know many teachers prefer not to&nbsp;teach lower sections.</p>\n<p><strong>Lack of Routine</strong> <br /><br />Another common reason why the class turns naughty is the fact that it lacks routine in the classroom. Whenever routine is lacking, classroom management is greatly affected. If the class is used to disorder, it will get used to it, and it will be very difficult to unlearn.<br /><br /><strong>Use of Fear</strong></p>\n<p>One major reason why we have naughty classes also as some friends of mine say, \"The students are conditioned to be disciplined from without and not from within.\" In other words the class has not been trained to observe self-discipline. They function in a threat-oriented classroom - the students fear the teacher because of punishment. When the students are used to behaving because of fear, the tendency would be for students to function only when they are subjected to fear . That\'s <br />why when a non-threatening English teacher teaches the students the class can\'t help to be rowdy.</p>\n<p><strong>Boring/Difficult Lessons</strong></p>\n<p>One reason to consider why students are naughty as one Thai English coordinator said, \"It\'s because the lesson or activity is less interesting and less challenging. Thus the students create unnecessary things that disturb the class and the teacher. That\'s why activities for language learners must be interesting indeed, as my former supervisor said, \"Language activities must be unpredictable - something that will make the students guess what\'s to come next.\" I would say that language lessons should also be something that is doable and commensurate to students\' abilities so that they can succeed. Too difficult lessons bore students, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Attention Seeking</strong></p>\n<p>Students misbehave because they want attention. They never have enough of this at home so they find it in school. Perhaps the parents have no time for them. One way to get the teacher\'s attention is to play the fool. Once a very sensitive teacher attends to this, he/she will be successful in preventing students to be mischievous. Giving some responsibilities to this group of students will make them feel&nbsp;important and they will not be a headache any longer.</p>\n<p><strong>Personal/Family Problems</strong></p>\n<p>A student would bully, fight or hurt his classmates because of a problem. A problem not solved is passed through others to get even with someone, to take revenge, to rebel, or to simply express his pent up emotion. A student scolded at home, reprimanded because of misdemeanor, or did something wrong, will bring his emotional baggage to school and when <br />provoked a little bit, his/her anger would burst.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Factor</strong></p>\n<p>This might be hard to admit, but many teachers are also the cause of their students\' poor behavior. One of these is his/her perception of the class. If the teacher thinks that the class is naughty, expect that the class becomes naughty. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes, the teacher has allowed his/her students unconsciously to be naughty until they got used to it. An American friend of mine narrated to me about his co-teacher being complained by students, \"Why is it that we don\'t like Mr. _____. Unlike you, Teacher Harry, we like you a lot?\"<br /><br />So, after knowing who the naughty students are and the many reasons for their naughtiness, what can a very good teacher do?</p>\n<p>The sources of these valuable information say they handle them these ways. Of course what they say may not work with your students \"for every folk a different stroke,\" but there\'s no harm trying. Once they work, why not continue doing them?</p>\n<p>1. My friend from Chulalongkorn University English Teachers\" Project in Nonthaburi said, \"English Teachers must go to class with adequate preparation. Once this is done, the battle is already half won. All teaching materials as pictures, charts, flashcards, realia and all forms of media must be used to meet the different learning styles of students.</p>\n<p>2. An ex-Ramakamhaeng University English Teachers\" Project in Nonthaburi suggested, \"The teacher should provide activity worksheets/activity sheets at the end of the period. The teacher must come up also with varied games and activities. Reinforce learning by praising, by little awards in forms of stickers, stamps. etc. However, this may be taken away when students are used to do well already for intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic one.<br /><br />3. Another teacher from an agency uses modern technology like lap top/computer, CD players, TV, VCD/DVD. This could be used after lesson presentation. One reminder though, see to it that the materials or aids are related to the lesson and would last only for 15- 20 minutes. For more equipped schools, a power point will be very effective.</p>\n<p>4. When the students are busy with the worksheets, the teacher can interview each student on the lessons learned particularly personal information questions. This gives the naughty students no room for misbehavior.</p>\n<p>5. Utilize songs, action songs, chants, and raps they will surely enjoy .</p>\n<p>6. The teacher should provide varied and animated activities to keep the students alive.</p>\n<p>Success in handling naughty students calls for common sense, creativity and resourcefulness on the part of teachers. Furthermore, a lot of reasons that trigger students\' behavior have to be addressed too, for if they are not, problems will surface. As for the different ways of handling naughty students, the kind of students have to be considered too.</p>\n<p>Handling \"sanook\" classes is full of challenges and gives the teacher the opportunity to reach out, to touch lives, and to make a difference in this particular group of students. Shunning in handling them is losing an opportunity to help. After all, classes won\'t be that exciting and interesting without them. Naughty kids spice up our life as a teacher. Just like pepper, onion, ginger, garlic, salt, sauce, herbs, and other ingredients make Thai cuisine really that delectable to taste. Next time, you meet your \"sanook\" class, I\'m sure there will be smile on your face and you can handle the classes well.</p>\n</p>','','2010-09-12 18:51:17',1,'2010-09-12 18:51:17','2010-09-13 09:09:19'),(2389,21,'How can you find private students?','how-can-you-find-private-students','What works when it comes to marketing yourself as a private teacher?','Teaching private students in your home, or even in the local McDonalds, can be a great way to put five to ten thousand baht a month in the kitty.

What works for other teachers?\"</p>\n<p>I thought this would be a good topic to kick around. Private students can be quite&nbsp;a lucrative source of extra income if you manage to hit it right.&nbsp;But how do you go about finding them?</p>\n<p>It\'s been a good while since I taught private students at home but I found that once you had attracted half a dozen students to come and study with you, then word of mouth generally did the rest. If students genuinely enjoyed the lessons and felt they had&nbsp;learned something, they couldn\'t wait to tell friends, colleagues and other family members. It wasn\'t long before I was turning students away because I just couldn\'t find the time to teach them. A couple of nights a week and the odd Sunday morning I didn\'t mind, but I wasn\'t willing to teach every single evening and give up a good portion of my precious weekend.</p>\n<p>To get the ball rolling, once I had set up a room in my house as a study room, I made friends with the local \'songthaew\' drivers. These were the guys who ferried residents from the&nbsp;far-flung corners of my housing estate to the main road. I got some good-size stickers printed with my name and phone number and the courses I offered, and then paid the drivers 200 baht a month to put the stickers in the area where the passengers sit. Those stickers&nbsp;brought me in a fair chunk of business.</p>\n<p>I also see a lot of \'private teacher\' ads in the area around BTS Prompong. Just off the main station is a bookstall called \'Book of World\" where for about 50 baht a month, you can put a flyer on their notice-board. Go down to street level and both&nbsp;Villa and Fuji Supermarkets have prominently displayed notice-boards with \'apartments for sale, maid wanted, and the odd private English teacher for hire. These notice boards have always struck me as a fantastic option for teachers to tout their services&nbsp;with so many Japanese housewives walking around that area.</p>\n<p>So if you teach private students, what works for you?

Body piercing, visible tattoos, drinking or smoking in public, or any kind of physical handicap, even if slight, will qualify the applicant.','<p><strong>Of teachers and emperors without clothes </strong>by Jorge E. Jo<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>Irony ...is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is an incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident meaning of words or actions. Verbal and situational irony are often used for emphasis in the assertion of a truth.</p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony\">Definition of irony</a> from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)</p>\n<p><strong>Actors wanted</strong></p>\n<p>Employment agencies in are in dire need of actors for live performances on stage. Their primary audience is children aged from six to eighteen years old, but sometimes extending into the twenties. Their secondary audience is the parents, school visitors, government officials, and other dignitaries in public or private events. Preferred actors are single white females, from their late teens to mid-twenties, tall, slender, blonde, blue eyed, with a pleasant smile, and meeting the last but most important characteristic: they must sport large noses.</p>\n<p>Body piercing, visible tattoos, drinking or smoking in public, or any kind of physical handicap, even if slight, will disqualify the applicant. Eyeglasses, as long as they are not too thick, are permitted. Some exceptions will be considered and are listed at the end.</p>\n<p>Actors will play the role of English teachers. As a result, it is important but not imperative that they speak English. To this date, our most successful actor never spoke one word; she just sat in the reception area where students were enrolling, wearing a school name tag, looking very professional and smiling. The number of students in the English Program nearly doubled that semester and we laughed all the way to the bank.</p>\n<p>Those who hold a passport from a country where English is the official language will be paid twice the salary of those who do not. A college degree, real or not, in any subject, will also be needed for a work permit.</p>\n<p>Actor\'s duties are as follows:</p>\n<p>1) Be at the school half an hour before the official start time. Since the official start time is 8:00 AM, as stipulated by the work contract, arrival time is expected to be at 7:30 AM. During the 30 minutes before the start of work, actors must stand right outside the main school gate to wave and smile at the parents as they drop off the kids. This reinsures the parents\' belief that their children are getting a world-class education. Opening vehicle doors and helping the kids get out will accrue bonus points.<br /><br />2) The morning service starts at 8:00 AM. Actors must stand in solemn attention, with the rest of the local staff, as the national anthem is sung, the flag is raised, and the prayers said. After main announcements are made, the actors will perform a skit asserting how easy and fun it is to speak English. This will promote future enrollment in the English program even if students have to pay extra fees. Student enrollment is the lifeblood of any and all schools. Acting daily will accrue bonus points.</p>\n<p>3) While in public, actors must act as true symbols of fully responsible, well-mannered and cultured adults for they are seen as pillars of the community and role models that every parent want their children to look up to. This means that an actor cannot be seen sitting in a drinking establishment other than a coffee shop. Drinking alcoholic beverages or smoking in public will be cause for immediate dismissal with forfeiture of pay. The same is true if the actor is wearing less than decent clothing showing too much skin or in the worst case, part of the undergarment. Actors should under no circumstances be seen holding hands or sitting too close to a member of the opposite sex. Actors should not be seen walking around licking an ice cream cone, as this is unbecoming behavior with a sexual connotation attached to it. Note that we did not make any of this rules. They are cultural and social expectations. You will be judged by your looks, your skin, and your clothes (or lack thereof) so don\'t be surprised if the judgment is skin deep.</p>\n<p>4) Now that the nature of this role, based in public exposure, has been made clear, a word on actor costume (dress) and make up is in order. In the morning, from the moment the actors step out into the street, locals will automatically assume they are English teachers, so it is imperative that they dress for the part. A business like attire is &lsquo;de rigueur\'. This means well tucked in and buttoned up, light colored blouse with collar and covered shoulders (no cleavage is to be seen!), below the knee dark skirt that is not revealing in any way (cannot be tight), and closed toe shoes, preferably black. High heels are acceptable as long as they are not of the &lsquo;stiletto\' type. No bright colors, casual, or fashion clothing is allowed. The more conservative, bordering with the outdated, the better. The use of black bras will be cause for immediate dismissal. Worse yet, actors caught wearing a &lsquo;g-string\' type of undergarment will be subject to a severe spanking where it hurts the most (while still wearing the &lsquo;g-string\') by the school director using his bare hands. Note that all clothes have to be impeccably ironed. Actors showing up for work with wrinkled clothes, however minor, will not be allowed into the school grounds. Use of facial powder is discouraged and lipstick should never be too reddish. Local female teachers overindulge in make up but they are usually forgiven as they are trying to &lsquo;whiten\' up their normally tan faces. White is might and since you are white, you already have the very best and cannot get any whiter. Don\'t alter it. Showing your face often and wearing a business suit will accrue double bonus points.</p>\n<p>5) Now that appearances in the proper attire have been established, the actors will be asked to play the role of teacher by playing games (hangman, tic-tac-toe, bingo, scrabble, trivial pursuit, musical chairs), doing artistic activities (coloring, paper doll cutting, flower arrangement, glass etching, batik art), singing songs (in English, please), strumming the guitar, clapping hands, passing out candy and in general, having a good time. While not placed first on this list of duties and responsibilities, &lsquo;teaching\' English in a fun way * IS * the primary directive as this insures &lsquo;happy\' paying customers who come back for more. Since this is so much fun, actors will be asked to do this role play at least five times daily to an exciting captive audience of fifty wonderful lively children. Making the kids happy will accrue triple bonus points.</p>\n<p>6) Actors will often be asked to model and pose for photo &lsquo;ops\'. The pictures will be used in school brochures promoting the English Program, in billboards advertising school capabilities, in school catalogs, newspaper articles, and in other types of advertising that may include banners on buses, taxis, and trains. Since the actors are now being promoted in the media and definitely converted into public figures, all at the school\'s expense, bonus points will quadruple.</p>\n<p>7) The actor will be required to attend each and all events where the local staff or students are present. This includes, fairs, sports games, cheerleading contests, parades, picnics, camping trips, field trips, outings, luncheons, dinners, parties, celebrations, and conferences. In most circumstances, the actor will be seated near or right next to the VIP\'s. With the exception of picnics, camping trips, and field trips, the business like attire is still expected. No overtime is paid for working outside business hours, but the more events where the actor is seen participating, the more bonus points.</p>\n<p>8) Near the end of the term, the actors will be asked to write tests but this is not a difficult task at all and it\'s only meant to remove this responsibility from the local staff whose knowledge of English is poor at best. The tests consists of a series of multiple choice questions with two possible answers (right and wrong), for example:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mary (is/are) beautiful.</p>\n<p>Since there is one possible correct answer out of two, students are guaranteed to answer correctly at least half the time for as many questions as there may be. Mathematicians call this a &lsquo;binomial distribution\'. Given a large enough number of questions even a blindfolded lifeless thousand-year-old mummy will be assured a fifty percent correct answer rate. This is the reason why the passing grade is set at fifty percent. Of course, if a student actually knows any English, the correct answer rate will be much higher. In the very rare cases where the blindfolded lifeless mummy scores less than fifty percent, the grade can be &lsquo;adjusted\' by the teacher with &lsquo;participation\' points (even for a lifeless mummy). This way all students are assured to pass the subject. Bonus points are subtracted if an actor &lsquo;fails\' a student for an actor is not a teacher and it would be near impossible to explain an irate parent why the &lsquo;teacher\' didn\'t &lsquo;teach\' the failing student. The school would get into a lot of trouble if the ruse were discovered. Tests with passing grades, although worthless, are documented proof of successful academic progress and are audited by the authorities on a regular basis. Note that the authorities also went through the same educational system and methods and since today\'s students will be tomorrow\'s authorities, this cycle is inevitably insured to continue in perpetuity. School staff, students, actors, parents and bureaucrats win, everybody benefits and there is a balanced happy medium all can co-exist in.</p>\n<p>9) During final exams, the actors will take the role of a proctor. All that is required is for the actors to look very serious (the only time they are allowed to look serious) and with a majestic air, walk up and down the rows of students taking the exams. This would be the performance\'s grand finale and the complete embodiment of the empress (or emperor) wearing gold gilded clothes. You\'ll feel like a star.</p>\n<p>10) On extremely rare occasions, actors may be asked to teach English, but this is the least of their worries, as the high school students\' English skill level is far below the third grade and the actors will most likely be struggling with students who cannot pronounce &lsquo;excuse me\', &lsquo;schedule\', &lsquo;fish\', or even &lsquo;mouse\'. There is a bright side, however, for students can say the three-word sentence &lsquo;I love you\'. If you can teach the students to say a four-word sentence, such as &lsquo;I want to learn\', or &lsquo;My house is large\', you should seriously consider changing careers from acting to teaching English. You could make enough for an early retirement.</p>\n<p>11) Actors who accrue sufficient bonus points will be granted Summer Camp work where the duties are to accompany and be seen with the students at parks, zoos, markets, shopping malls, entertainment complexes, movies, and food courts. Actors and students will be issued colorful baseball caps and distinctive polo shirts with the school logo on the back. This is a great publicity and advertising stunt. Lunch boxes (Basil chicken over rice) to be provided daily by the school.<br /><br /><strong>Exceptions:</strong></p>\n<p>We recognize our requirements are a tall order, but we are understanding and flexible and will sacrifice one or two things:</p>\n<p>&bull; An actor may be male and over thirty but all else has to be perfect. This means he cannot be short and chubby. <br />&bull; An actor need not be blonde and blue eyed, but he cannot be bald and have a flat nose. <br />&bull; He may meet all he physical requirements but if he insists in playing the role of a serious teacher, then he is of no use.</p>\n<p>In all honesty, most of our actors are male since it\'s nearly impossible to get a female to stay after she gets accosted by the local male staff, who are chomping at the bit to ride the white horse.</p>\n<p>When it comes to males, we do prefer Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise look-alikes, although surprisingly, we had good success with an actor who looked like George W. Bush, silly grin and all: female students kept coming back re-enrolling at the school even after graduation. We made a bundle of cash on the silly grin.</p>\n<p><strong>Compensation package:</strong></p>\n<p>&bull; Monthly salary will be the same as it was ten years ago by secret price fixing with other schools in the vicinity. Paid on time in freshly printed cash and guaranteed not to bounce like checks.<br />&bull; Medical insurance pays a percentage of the bill if hospitalized for something other than drunkenness.<br />&bull; Paid official holidays (but not Christmas, Thanksgiving, Independence, and Labor Day).<br />&bull; Sick leave days (except Mondays, Fridays and days before or after a holiday).<br />&bull; School provided housing consisting of a studio with bed and air con. User pays water and electricity. User will save money, as there is no hot water heater and no phone. User to buy linen and furnishings at own expense. Front gate and door are locked at 10:00 PM.<br />&bull; Actors to pay for all transportation costs including round trip airfare from country of origin and all visa application expenses including visa runs to the border.<br />&bull; Unless dismissed before the end of the contract, all bonus points will be converted to frequent flyer air miles (some actors have been known to get enough for a Bangkok-Utapao air ticket).</p>\n<p>If interested, please email your complete CV, including letters of recommendation, police clearance reports, college transcripts, photograph, three references, and a two-page essay stating why you are the best choice for the part. If contacted for an audition, you\'ll have to bring your own clothes.</p>\n<p>Upon employment, a document-handling fee will be subtracted from your first paycheck if we have to go to Kao San Road to get you a degree or any of the above documents. We will also subtract the taxi fare and the printing cost.</p>\n<p>Aside from our stringent hiring requirements, we are an Equal Opportunity Employer and new college graduates as well as high school dropouts are encouraged to apply.

The curriculum plan that we submitted for the school\'s approval initially passed the evaluators from the provincial district education area office two weeks ago. The local committee recommended for its final approval to the Ministry of Education in Bangkok. It\'s another &lsquo;wait and see\' denouement. In any case, we were delighted.\n<p>I appreciate the Ministry of Education\'s policy on recreating two traditional English language learning courses called \"Reading and Writing\" and \"Listening and Speaking\" in secondary education by allowing every school\'s curriculum developers&nbsp;to come&nbsp;up with suitable and challenging courses that will bring out the language teachers\' creativity in teaching and the students\' competence and performance in using the target language. Secondary schools with mini English or English programs can facilitate other curriculum changes which include offering courses by semester and designing appropriate learning materials instead of subscribing&nbsp;to commercialized textbooks. If this campaign continues to reach all secondary schools in Thailand, academically speaking, I see more reasons why qualified and dedicated foreign language teachers may opt to teach in the secondary schools under the English programs rather than in the universities.</p>\n<p>Typical university curriculums are stuck with the common English foundation and English daily conversation courses&nbsp;for the first two years of the students\' higher education. There has never been real language learning development for all students with different language proficiency background. The worst part is that&nbsp;university language teachers continue to be&nbsp;slaves to&nbsp;recycled language textbooks designed by the so-called \"language experts\" and in exchange of quality learning, there&nbsp;is the additional income they get from selling them. It\'s a great&nbsp;pity.</p>\n<p>Some after-school activities that were used&nbsp;as \"extras\" and taught to only a few interested students are now open to all language learners who will now have a chance to improve their fluency by learning them as credited courses like poetry reading, News writing and listening and speaking through drama, to name but&nbsp;a few. These course titles may appear tough and intimidating but with proper planning of behavioral objectives and selection of the&nbsp;appropriate materials, language learning can be more meaningful, challenging and fun.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, lesson plans can be useful in developing your own set of learning instructions and materials. Schools are fond of requiring every teacher to submit daily, weekly or monthly lesson plans for the purpose of fulfilling a responsibility. In reality, lesson plans are merely papers waiting to be compiled, stocked in a damp room and then recycled after the end of the&nbsp;school year. Nevertheless, there are well-designed lesson plans worth considering. Why not transform them into modules?</p>\n<p>Unlike lesson plans, creating modules can bring you a higher sense of accomplishment in terms of your ability&nbsp;to design your lessons, choosing your materials, and testing and evaluating their effectiveness&nbsp;on your students. It\'s not as easy making your lesson plans but when completed, you feel much more than just a classroom teacher. It also measures your tolerance to academic scrutiny and your ability to work as a team with your colleagues.</p>\n<p>Making modules follows an arduous yet self-learning process. First, ensure that your course syllabus passes thorough scrutiny from your colleagues, curriculum developers or evaluators, and administrators. Next, design your modules according to the different learning factors that you want to emphasize. For instance, you may want to prioritize concepts (knowledge), student tasks and even add more reading materials for comprehension. Third, learn to simplify concepts, provide specific examples and choose effective student tasks. Simplifying theoretical-based concepts and providing examples, choosing effective individual and group student tasks and adding \"value\" to your module take time and patience. After completing a set of learning module, prepare yourself for another round of scrutiny. It is always best to consider your colleagues\' suggestions especially when they will be teaching the same course. When all those involved have their final nod, your module is now ready for testing.</p>\n<p>Modules can be modified and updated after the end of a&nbsp;school term. Unlike modules, commercialized textbooks can only be replaced with new edition yet contain the same learning experiences. Teachers who use their own modules know very well the advantages they bring to classroom teaching and professional development.</p>\n</p>','','2010-09-26 06:14:23',1,'2010-09-26 06:14:23','2010-09-26 20:08:24'),(2473,52,'October 2010','october-2010','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers.','This month, we\'ve got news of a TEFL course provider offering the CELTA course as a convenient part-time program that will take you ten weeks to complete.

','<p>Next month will mark 15 years living in Asia, and as the song goes, \"what a long strange trip it\'s been.\"\n<p>In my book, Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm, I identified a class of expatriates, called independent expatriates which for the most part I also belong to, although I am currently have and have had a few in the past what could be classified as more traditional expatriate assignments. Independent expatriates are those living abroad who are living off the local economy without support or a permanent connection with an organization from \"back home.\" Most English teachers and others working in education in Thailand and surrounding countries could probably be classified as independent expatriates.</p>\n<p>Living abroad as an independent expatriate for long periods of time requires one to give up many things. For one, it is unusual to have long-term friends, at least friends which have a similar cultural background, as many co-workers and others one comes across while working internationally seem to be very transient in nature. Of course one makes good friends, but for the most part these are not long-term in nature. And while most long-term foreign independent expatriates make some local friends, the cultural differences, from my experience and observations, limit the closeness of many of these friendships.</p>\n<p>Also, choosing to become an independent expatriate is usually not a road which leads to riches or financial security.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, most independent expatriates have limited career options. Unless one is completely fluent in the local language, the independent expatriate is at a disadvantage to locals in acquiring the vast majority of jobs. And the legal restrictions on foreigners, found around the world, further limit the job opportunities of independent expatriates. From conversations and observations it would appear most foreign English teachers in Thailand and throughout Asia teach English in order to live abroad, and don\'t go abroad to teach English.</p>\n<p>But on the other hand, choosing the independent expatriate lifestyle is filled with rewards. Travel, personal growth and cross-cultural experiences are gains expected from living and working abroad. But arguably the biggest benefit which comes from packing up your bags and moving to a foreign country without a safety net and \"making it\" is confidence. Becoming an \"independent\" expatriate requires far more self-reliance and ability to adapt than does staying in your home surrounded by family and friends or being a traditional expatriate and being supported by an organizational structure that usually spans both the home country and new location. <br /><br />Finding a job and creating a life with little support in a foreign country can be a huge boost to the ego and can create the confidence to follow one\'s dreams. No surprisingly so many famous and innovative authors, including Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Samuel Beckett, Tennessee Williams, William S. Burroughs, and even Mark Twain, have lived outside of their home countries. Maybe it is easier to follow crazy dreams and take the road less traveled when one is outside of the comfort of home.</p>\n<p>It would appear some independent expatriates focus on the limitations while others use the confidence gained and create interesting lives while pursuing a variety of interesting goals.</p>\n<p>Personally, I have not found much in the way of financial success from choosing the expatriate lifestyle, \"but at least I am enjoying the ride\" (couldn\'t resist another Grateful Dead reference). I arrived in Asia with only a high school diploma, today I have a PhD. My first job in Thailand was at a three letter language school teaching English at 220 Baht an hour. Today I am a visiting professor for an American University operating in China (with summers off which I will spend back in Thailand). In between, I have worked as an instructor at a number of universities in Bangkok and Vietnam, an instructor at online university programs around the world, a writer, a manager in an export company in Issan, and with an NGO working with refugees alongside the Thai-Burmese border. It is felt the experiences from my initial period of living and working in Thailand as an English teacher has given me the confidence to pursue other employment options internationally. In my youth I rarely thought of life outside the world I knew, today I have connections with people and organizations around the world and see few limitations on what is possible.</p>\n<p>While choosing the independent expatriate lifestyle has required some material sacrifices, I don\'t feel poor at all. I don\'t think I would trade my memories of a midnight motorcycle ride in Laos, visa runs to Malaysia and Cambodia, New Years in Saigon, friendly faces in Issan, and so many other memories for a new car, a nice house and lots of stuff that I might have accumulated if I had stayed at home. I have always wanted to travel, write and have new and varied experiences, and I have done those things.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Knowing what I know now, yeah, I would have made the same choices and decided to follow this lifestyle. It hasn\'t all been wine and roses, but it has been an interesting ride and I can\'t wait to see what comes next.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a

controversial course about and why is it needed?','The objective of the course is to train non-Thais in various aspects of Thai society and instructional ethics to be better equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to work effectively in Thailand.','<p>The educators and administrators at Thailand Educators Network\'s Wednesday, 8 September meeting were taken on an informative journey into the history and present state of the Thai Culture and Ethics course by Dr Nikolaus Mische responsible for providing one of the more professional options in Thailand.\n<p><strong>Why is the course needed?</strong></p>\n<p>For a number of years, reports became increasingly prevalent concerning non-Thais employed as teachers in Thai government schools breaking rules of etiquette, demonstrating poor behaviour, lacking in professionalism and creating highly embarrassing situations for Thai schools, their teachers, students and administrators.</p>\n<p>Placing immense pressure on the&nbsp;MoE to address the situation quickly and thoroughly, they replied with Clause 5 Section 2 of BE 2547 Teacher Council regulation stating that any non-Thai seeking to obtain a Thai teaching license is required to pass an examination and assessment procedure set by the Thai Teacher Council.</p>\n<p>The now &lsquo;famous\' 20-hour Thai Language, Culture and Professional Ethics course was arranged to fulfil this requirement.</p>\n<p><strong>Reactions by teachers</strong></p>\n<p>While there have been numerous complaints from non-Thai teachers in Thailand, Thai schools continue to be plagued by many unresolved issues with non-Thais hired as teachers.</p>\n<p>However, concerns about the course continue to surface, perhaps recycled, about the fact that an immense amount of money has been generated by organizations teaching the course to hundreds of participants at a time.</p>\n<p>However, a closer examination of the objectives behind the course and its mandated content, if conducted properly, would appear to offer non-Thai teachers a solid, albeit short introduction to important aspects of Thai culture in which they are or will soon be teaching.</p>\n<p><strong>Course objectives</strong></p>\n<p>The objective of the course is to train non-Thais in various aspects of Thai society and instructional ethics to be better equipped with the knowledge and experience needed to work effectively in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The mandated syllabus structure includes Thai Society (four hours), Thai Language and Culture (six hours), Thai Manners (two hours), Thai Arts and Music (two hours) and finally, to round out the 20 hours, Professional Ethics (six hours).</p>\n<p><strong>Mandated content</strong></p>\n<p>Although, many stories still circulate about teachers spending 20 hours learning Thai dancing, the proposed content includes some interesting topics I would want a teacher to know about my culture (Canadian) before they started to teach young, impressionable minds.</p>\n<p>A more in-depth overview of the five modules clearly identifies areas that, to varying degrees, should be beneficial to any one teaching in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Thai Society includes the state of Thai society in the past and at present including social structures, way of life and Thai wisdom.</p>\n<p>Thai Language and Culture, consists of Thai language needed in daily life along with beliefs, values and characteristics of Thai people, dress codes for various occasions, the food and Buddhist life styles.</p>\n<p>Thai manners, perhaps the most important if taught correctly, involves standing postures for formal and informal occasions, walking, sitting and how to rise from a seated position, how to Wai to individuals of different social strata, and encountering, receiving from and handing articles to higher-ranking individuals.</p>\n<p>Thai Arts and Music examines Thai art, values and beauty, along with the uniqueness of Thai art in each region, characteristics and features of Thai musical instruments, Thai dramatic arts, literature, sports and games.</p>\n<p>Professional Ethics places its central focus on The Association and Educational Personnel Act, which includes the significance of professional ethics, personal behaviour along with ethical standards towards service recipients and colleagues and social ethics.</p>\n<p><strong>And in October...</strong></p>\n<p>►

This is a tribute to all Filipino teachers in Thailand who have the tenacity, fighting spirit, and determination to work in this country to help the family back home.\n<p>When Peter was 12, during their work education class in antiques, they were planting trees to celebrate Arbor Day. In a casual conversation with his best friend, he confided, \"Someday, I will be a teacher so that I can be the best teacher who will treat my students with fairness, understanding, love, care and not beat them.\" He confessed this to him because he took pity on him the fact that every time his best friend made trivial mistakes in the class, his mother, who was their teacher, would hit his best friend with a stick, an eraser, a book or anything she could get hold of.</p>\n<p>Peter\'s parents were illiterate. They were both victims of poverty. His father was orphaned at a very young age and had to work as a helper for a rich family in town so that his brother and sister could go to school. His mother was orphaned too before the age of 6 and her cruel aunt deprived her of education.</p>\n<p>In Peter\'s family of 11, (5 boys and 4 girls) 2 of his siblings became professionals. Two of his brothers finished only Grade 3 and Grade 5 respectively while the others fortunately finished Grade 6. His father explained that during the 1950\'s or even earlier than that, parents in his home town and in other towns, never valued education that much. They treasured and valued \"the family\" more. It mattered less to the parents whether their children finished a high education or not. Worse of all, even if they would only eat salt with rice, it was acceptable already to the family as long as they were all together.</p>\n<p>Since Peter graduated valedictorian in Grade 6, his brothers and sisters saw a great potential in him and they were convinced that he could have a promising future. So they worked on menial jobs and put their little earnings together to support Peter\'s studies. In return, our hero took it upon himself the gargantuan task to prepare his future of becoming a teacher because during his time, students never went to teaching but to courses leading to white collar jobs. After all, he was convinced too that it would be easy for him to get a job if he finished education.</p>\n<p>In Manila, after graduation from high school, there was a twist in his ambition. He was at a loss on what to take up in college, although in his childhood days he dreamed of becoming a teacher. He couldn\'t blame himself. Time changed, people changed, and his interest changed. In that moment of indecisiveness, he wanted to take up a degree in agriculture in order to help his father improve their small farm, but he had no idea where to enroll. Perhaps, because of fate and what he was meant to be, he found himself enrolled at a leading institution for teachers and became a full-fledged teacher.</p>\n<p>After graduation in college, it didn\'t take a long time to get a job because his baseball coach recommended him to work in a school where his coach\'s nephew was the principal... That\'s how Peter began to fall in love with his chosen career.</p>\n<p>For 38 years of teaching contentedly he said he loves teaching because it is the best profession he has ever experienced. He said, \"If I have to be born again, I would choose still to be a teacher.\" So far, the teaching profession has given me the rarest privilege to inspire children of my country....\" He added, \"It is where, although the pay is little, the intrinsic rewards of being called,\" Sir,\" are obtained. I have all the opportunity to hear music as angels lift his spirit each day when they address him. It is where he can make boys and girls happy though they have many problems at home, it\'s an opportune time where he has transformed the most unlovable student in the class to be happy , it\'s where he has made the naughtiest boy keep still and get involved in interesting activities, it\'s where the bully stops pestering the classmates because he has certain responsibilities to do, it\'s where a deprived child gets genuine and special attention, it\'s where a potential leader is honed to become one of the country\'s leaders, it\'s where he serves as a talent scout to unravel hidden talents and bring them to the open for nurturing, it\'s where he can make little Rosy and Adam&nbsp;come out of their shells, it\'s where he can tame a timid child to speak and overcome a phobia of something...\"</p>\n<p>In addition to this, he explained with a smile and a sense of pride, \"I love teaching because in the bus or jeepney and even in a taxi (not only once, twice, thrice, or several times) someone I don\'t know would pay for me or refuse payment for my ride because he/she would say was once my student. Oh, I love to teach because I feel so great to see my students winning in sports and art. And they are proudly saying that I was their first teacher in these fields.\" After a short pause, he continued, \"Truly, I am, without any shadow of doubt, inspired to teach because even in the \"Friendster\" and \"face book\", one former student tells me, \"Sir, you\'re my best teacher.\" \"Oh, yes, I love teaching because I don\'t only teach English but I teach students who hunger for knowledge, guidance, compassion, and attention. Indeed! I love teaching because it has enabled me to work in the United Nations, traveled to London and Paris as a \"mere teacher\". Definitely, I love teaching because it has made me grow professionally and became a textbook writer. Absolutely, I love teaching because it afforded me the chance to meet parents and work with them in molding their children.\"</p>\n<p>Peter\'s career was not all loaves and fishes. Despite his intense love for teaching, he did leave his profession just like other great men and women. His friends advised, \"It\'s a suicidal decision. How can you give up your cup of tea? Anyway, he made up his mind and the die was cast. As the old saying goes, \"Once a teacher, always a teacher.\" Alas! After 3 months of disappointments he came back to teaching, and through it earned his bread and butter once more. Otherwise, if he didn\'t have a change of heart, his family would have starved to death. Peter then realized that he was a teacher yesterday (a very good teacher according to his students) he will be a teacher today, and will be a teacher tomorrow. Surprisingly, he swore that as long as there is an opportunity to teach, he would do it. In fact it is his ardent wish that even if he were age 70 and is capable of teaching, he would still teach. \"It may sound incredible but don\'t you know that most of my dreams in sleep,\" he said, \"are all about teaching?\" Finally, when asked, \"What will you do, when you retire?\" He answered, \"I will teach. I will teach. I will teach and I will teach for I love teaching.\" That\'s teacher Peter.</p>\n<p>Kudos, Teacher Peter. Happy Teachers\' Day!</p>\n</p>','','2010-10-02 18:14:33',1,'2010-10-02 18:14:33','2010-10-03 08:08:34');

Yes that\'s right; I\'m not a perfect teacher. Even though I sometimes get lampooned and lambasted on the open forums by those who would like to put me in my place, I\'m the first one to admit that I experience the same pitfalls and frustrations that befall all EFL teachers.\n<p>The person I should really be frustrated with, however, is me. On those days when I\'m not getting through to my students; on those days when many of my students seem &lsquo;tuned out\', I should take a long look at myself and see what I\'m not doing right. There has been days like that; more than I care to admit.</p>\n<p>One day in particular recently when many of my students where just not with me, (and probably not feeling like an essential part of the class), I told the students a story. It was a story I heard a while ago, but I amended it to suit my particular classroom situation. I titled the story, \"A Teacher, a Wise Man, Two Punks, and a Chicken.\" Here\'s the story.</p>\n<p><strong>A Teacher, a Wise Man, two Punks, and a Chicken</strong></p>\n<p>Once upon a time there was a teacher who came to Thailand to teach English. He was young and idealistic. And he was handsome too, like a movie star. He liked his students and he wanted his students to learn. But the students were teenagers, 15 and 16 years old. They were very nice and some of the girls were really pretty.</p>\n<p>While some of the students studied very hard and did what the teacher told them, most of the students were not very interested in learning English. Many of them just wanted to play games, ride their motorbikes, and talk amongst each other. This frustrated the teacher and made him angry, but the teacher persevered. He wanted his students to do well. After all, the teacher went to Thailand to help the students achieve their dreams and have them reach their full potential.</p>\n<p>One day the students were particularly uncooperative and rambunctious. He didn\'t want to lecture the students. He told the students that he couldn\'t make the students learn, but he could show them how to learn. \"It\'s up to you\", the teacher said. \"You are responsible for your own learning.\" So the teacher told the students a story. It was an old story about a teacher, a wise man, two punks, and a chicken. The story went like this:</p>\n<p>\"There was once a wise man that was so smart, he knew everything. The townspeople would line up on Sundays in front of his hut and would ask him for advice. People from all over the province, from all over the country, would make a special pilgrimage to seek the wise man\'s advice. Young women would ask him when they would meet their soul mate; young men would ask him how much money they would make; young couples would want to know how many children they would have, and old couples came to him wanting to alleviate their pain and suffering. And for each question, he would know the answer.</p>\n<p>Then one day there were these two boys from the village, punks they were; bad boys who liked to fight and swear. They wanted to trick the wise man and humiliate him in front of everyone. So they stole a chicken from one of their neighbors and said to each other, &lsquo;let\'s do this. Let\'s put the chicken behind our back, like this. We\'ll go to the wise man and say, is this chicken alive or dead? If the wise man says that the chicken is alive, we\'ll wring its neck and give it to him. And if he says it\'s dead, we\'ll throw the live chicken in his face.\'</p>\n<p>So the two punks walked over to the wise man\'s hut with the chicken behind their back and stood in line. When the two punks finally reached the wise man, they looked at him and asked, &lsquo;wise man is this chicken behind our back alive or dead?\'</p>\n<p>The wise man looked at the two boys and said, &lsquo;the answer is in your hands.\'\"</p>\n<p>I then handed out photocopies of the story so that the students could read it. There were reading comprehension questions as well as questions where my students had to give their own opinion as to why they thought the teacher told his students the story and what they learned from reading it; more on that shortly.</p>\n<p>\"The answer is in your hands.\" I like this story. I like it because it\'s all about responsibility and learning to become accountable for your actions and behavior. When the wise man tells the boys that the answer is in their hands, he is telling them to stop relying less on others and to start relying more on you. He is telling the boys to think before they act; he is advising them to reflect. The old wise man is saying, \"grow up and be a man.\"</p>\n<p>While I was telling my students this story I looked at many of their faces. I noticed that many of them, especially the upper level students, were listening attentively, almost in rapt attention. This probably had less to do with my story telling skills than with their keen interest in punks and chickens. But, for the most part, I was happy with how the story telling session went. As for my students expressing brilliant and insightful opinions as to what they had learned from this story--- well, that was a different matter all together.</p>\n<p>Although a few of them said, \"I now know about the teacher\'s feelings\", and \"I learned that the teacher wants the students to learn\", I got the feeling that the students already knew this. Nothing new or original was expressed. Far more common was \"I learned ....\" That\'s it. \"I learned....\" The rest of the answer space was blank. It\'s not that they had no opinion or had learned nothing. Many of my students had no way of appropriately expressing what they learned. As far as believing that Thai high school students have no opinion about anything, no one in their society has ever told them that it\'s okay to have an opinion, let alone express an opinion to a teacher.</p>\n<p>Me: So Somchai, why do you think the teacher told his students this story?</p>\n<p>Somchai: Because the teacher wants the students to learn.</p>\n<p>Me: Okay. Porntip, how about you?</p>\n<p>Porntip: (Looking over at Somchai) because the teacher wants the students to learn.</p>\n<p>Me: Good, Porntip, but Somchai already said that. Kwankanok? Why do YOU think the teacher told the students this story?</p>\n<p>Kwankanok: (Looking over at Porntip) because the teacher wants the students to learn.</p>\n<p>I was about ready to smack myself in the head. While the answer may be technically correct, the teacher does want the students to learn, I wanted my students to go beyond the typical response that was expected of them by their teachers and from their society. I didn\'t expect thought-provoking and sophisticated answers such as</p>\n<p>\"The teacher told his students this story because the teacher, like the wise man, is challenging his students to envision their future: A future beyond their present environment and circumstances; a future that can be brilliant if one believes and acts upon the reality that your life is truly in your own hands.\"</p>\n<p>Wow Somchai, you get an A plus for that! That was an incredible response. Your parents must be very proud.</p>\n<p>A deeper understanding of Thai society and culture may shed more light as to why Thai students take so much comfort and solace in repeating the same answer: Fear. It is not so much that they will be ridiculed by their peers. Thai students take pride in seeing a classmate excel and hearing someone express a differing opinion from the prevailing point-of-view. I\'ve seen it. As long as it\'s not them that must express it. Most of them are terribly afraid to stand out. People may be watching. The walls have ears, you know. And people hear stories; lots of stories. Like these found in a column of the Bangkok Post by Thitinan Pongsudhirak of Chulalongkorn University under the headline \"Thailand and its hybrid authoritarianism\" published September 27, 2010. In his column, Pongsudhirak speaks of a particular high-profile case of government censorship, but claims that</p>\n<p>\"It epitomizes a plethora of other cases that have found little voice because of the climate of fear, intimidation and coercion attendant with civil-military hybrid repression. These cases include the persecution of university students who have been gagged, harassed and made to undergo psychological tests for their political beliefs. A professor of a well-known university has been detained at an army barracks for a week with neither charges nor apology on his release. A youthful aspiring entertainer was pressured to withdraw from a reality TV show because he had criticized Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. A high school graduate was denied a place at a leading university after passing the national admissions test because of political opinion. <br />Thailand\'s world of academe has never sunk so low under ostensible democratic rule. Lecturers in these parts typically resort to all manner of inducements to generate student views and opinions from basic encouragement and pleas to veiled threats of point reduction on final grades. When the young speak, we should listen with encouragement and constructive reply. But this period of soft repression, ironically presided over by a PM who was once a lecturer, the younger generation has been suppressed.</p>\n<p>The list of the suppressed is not confined to the young. In rural Thailand, many dozens of individuals who act on officially unsanctioned thoughts are languishing in jail and army barracks. Many are on the run. The air of intimidation and fear is pervasive. And it works.</p>\n<p>What is perhaps more dangerous than official censorship and suppression is self-censorship. The fear is such that penmanship is voluntarily curtailed and spoken words become more muted and subtle. Such an environment has led to a double asymmetry in media coverage of Thai politics.\"</p>\n<p>In an editorial published on September 28, 2010 in the Bangkok Post headlined \"Persecution in the media\" the newspaper discusses the current government crackdown on the Internet and certain media outlets.</p>\n<p>\"The most obvious is the continual use of the Computer Crime Act to intimidate and silence websites, blogs, videos and other forms of legitimate media. The thousands of times this law has been invoked are telling. It means that authorities either cannot or will not bring normal legal charges. It is enormously discriminatory. If an article, a photo or a video appears in a newspaper or on a TV station it is legal; but because it is on the internet, it is not.</p>\n<p>Back in the days of the Thaksin government, the public was assured that the Computer Crime Act (CCA) was necessary to protect against, and to prosecute, online crime. The purpose of the law was to ensure that e-commerce would be reliable, and that cheating consumers would be rigorously policed. Instead, successive governments have used the CCA to compile a list of more than 110,000 websites that must be blocked from the public\'s view. The list is secret, the reason for each website\'s ban is secret, and there is no appeal. This cannot happen with newspapers, magazines, books, and TV and radio stations and so on.\"</p>\n<p>Or in the schools either. Over the last eight decades since Thailand became a constitutional monarchy, she has seen 23 military coups, countless demonstrations from the communist and &lsquo;Red Shirt\' north, a Muslim insurgency in the south, and thousands detained, tortured, and killed along the way. This is no different from any other country that yearns for freedom with all of the inevitable growing pains that comes with it.</p>\n<p>But as history shows us, freedom comes with a hefty price tag. And teachers don\'t teach in a vacuum; they can\'t. It would be foolish for a teacher, not to mention dangerous, to tell your students to live freely when everybody else around them is in chains. It is incredibly na&iuml;ve to think that students will freely speak their minds in your classroom when everywhere else in their society they are forbidden to do so. Thai society is no different from any other society that believes, or once believed, that children should be seen and not heard. Thai students will think independently, speak freely, and gladly give their opinions when their society allows them to do so. Freedom of thought, like freedom of speech is both an art and a skill. It is a skill that is taught and nurtured in schools and encouraged by all other institutions in society, including government. It is an art because freedom of speech is not an absolute. Any society that encourages freedom of thought and speech will have creative, intelligent, and brilliant students in the classroom and out.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;I wish to make something very clear. I am not, in any way, advocating social change through revolution or rebellion. That would get me thrown out of this country and put on a &lsquo;black list.\' Any social, cultural, and political change in Thailand must originate from the Thai people themselves. I do not have any political say in what should change or how things should be changed, nor should I. As a foreign English teacher, my job and personal mission here is to teach English to the best of my ability and to touch the hearts of my students as so many of them have touched mine.</p>\n<p>Having said that, it seems obvious to me that one of the teacher\'s main responsibilities to his students would be to mitigate any fear the students have. Fear of speaking their minds; fear of making mistakes; fear of ridicule; fear of revealing what\'s in their hearts, and fear of reprisal. Yes we must use appropriate punishment and classroom management techniques for those students who misbehave, but to have students live in fear from oppressive governments or misguided administrators or egotistical teachers robs students of any true learning moments they will potentially have. To make of the classroom a sanctuary, however temporary and seemingly artificial, where students are encouraged to express their own opinions, thoughts, and feelings, especially on issues that affect them personally without fear of reprisal, is one of the most caring things a teacher can do for his students.</p>\n<p>I am reminded here that the word &lsquo;educate\' originates from the Latin &lsquo;educere\' meaning \"to bring out; to lead forth.\" Far too often we in the teaching profession tend to concentrate on stuffing our students full of facts and information at the expense of allowing them to simply tell us what is already inside them. We focus on pumping them full of stuff which we expect will be regurgitated on the exams. We so easily forget that many of our students know more than they let on, and much more than we, and their society, allow them to express.</p>\n<p>I get the feeling that many of my students are dying to tell me what\'s really inside them, and I am disappointed in myself because for the first 20 weeks I haven\'t given them much of an opportunity to truly express themselves. Sure there have been moments in writing and reading exercises, but they have been few and far between. As their teacher that\'s my fault. In fact, if I were to grade myself for the first semester I\'d have to give myself an &lsquo;incomplete.\' I have focused too much on the &lsquo;garbage in, garbage out\' part of education and not enough on the &lsquo;to bring out; to lead forth\' part of it. That must change next semester.</p>\n<p>Even though I have about a 70/30 split in favor of students achieving a passing grade after the first semester, (two terms), that should not be seen as good enough. It isn\'t good enough for me. Sure I\'d love all of my students to pass, but that\'s not realistic. The students at my current school must take a speaking test, a listening test, and a grammar test which includes a reading and writing portion. These exams are written by myself and my teaching partner, and are given four times a year, (every 10 weeks.) That\'s a lot of grammar pounding and test time. I am also given some leeway in the way of discretionary marks for the students: Homework, conduct in the classroom, and participation should and does count for something.</p>\n<p>But I\'ve been thinking recently about all of the time and effort that teachers and students put into these exams. Writing them, editing them, giving them, proctoring them, correcting them, and going over them with the students. All for a 70/30 split? The ratio of students who pass compared to those who fail is really not the issue here. A 50/50 split, a 70/30 split, or a 90/10 split. It doesn\'t matter.</p>\n<p>What\'s the point of my students scoring a 70 percent, an 80 percent, or a 90 percent on the English grammar exam when I hardly know anything about them? What\'s the point of beautiful \"Pat\" acing the speaking test when she can\'t speak to me about what makes her laugh and cry? What\'s the point of \"Moo\" scoring 90 percent on his listening test when I haven\'t taken enough time during the semester to listen to what\'s really in his heart? Good teachers may help their students pass their academic exams, but great teachers take the time to listen to their students and help them pass the tests of life. What this first semester has taught me is that, as a teacher, I still have a long way to go. In future blogs I will share what I am planning to do in the classroom to help my students become more than just students. The answer is in my hands.</p>\n<p>The chicken story serves as a lesson to students about accountability and personal responsibility. But EFL teachers can learn a lot from it too, as well as school administrators, department directors, and principals. Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work in schools where there has been a plethora of excellent and dedicated teachers; people who truly cared about their students and wanted to teach them well. I continue to meet and work with teachers such as these.</p>\n<p>But I have also met some real losers; people who couldn\'t care less about the students or the teaching profession; people who were and are in Asia for the booze, the girls, and the work visa; people who were just passing through. We have all met some of these people. Many of these people sit day after day in teacher\'s rooms all over Thailand, and other Asian countries, ridiculing the students, insulting the staff and administration, gossiping, and generally causing trouble. There are times when I honestly feel that the worst place to be is the teacher\'s room where the negative energy is so thick, you can almost poke holes through it with chopsticks. I have heard far too many EFL teachers over the years complain about &lsquo;sleeper classes\' and &lsquo;lazy Thai students.\' This kind of negativity poisons an atmosphere where every teacher should not only be doing the best they can for their students, but taking responsibility for things that go wrong in their classes. Do I have lazy students? Yes I do, but they are MY lazy students and I will deal with them. They are my responsibility. The answer is in my hands.</p>\n<p>I have 83 students in four classes this year. Grade 10 students, 15-16 year olds, many of whom have hopes and dreams like 15 and 16 year olds everywhere. Do I have students who, at times, don\'t pay attention? Of course I do. Do I have students who spend time in my classes daydreaming about riding their motorbikes, or kissing their girlfriend? I sure do. Do I have students who try to use some of my English lessons to catch up on lost sleep? You bet I do. But I also have students who work hard, do their homework, and get good grades. My students are no different from teenage students in any other classroom. They are human, after all, and it\'s what you do with your students after you wake them up that will determine your mettle as a teacher.</p>\n<p>You can scold your students or you can teach them. You can ridicule and excoriate Thai society or you can try and understand it. You can call your students &lsquo;stupid\' or you can try and remember what it was like to be a child or a teenager. While I realize that some of the ridiculing of Thai students and society by foreigners is done in jest or to blow off steam, there is no reason for this ridicule or criticism to be voiced in clear view of Thai teachers or the administration. Unless there are flagrant personal or work-related violations against foreign teachers by the administration or the powers-that-be, such as a refusal to apply for a work permit or repeated late payments, it is best to keep quiet in the workplace about ones frustrations of being a foreigner in Thailand.</p>\n<p>What many foreigners in Thailand don\'t seem to know (or remember) is that to teach another parent\'s child is both an honor and a privilege. It is also a challenge; a challenge which must be met daily with patience, educational skills, humility, love, care, respect, responsibility, sacrifice, determination to get it right, the intelligence to learn from mistakes, toughness when needed, and an unyielding resolve to see to it that your students continue to move forward.</p>\n<p>Doing all of this requires wisdom, the ability to keep your mouth shut, minding your own business, and keeping a low profile; something far too many foreigners in Asia seem to have a problem with. It also requires taking responsibility for your teaching because, in the end, the old wise man had it right. The answer really is in your hands.</p>\n</p>','','2010-10-04 21:05:12',1,'2010-10-04 21:05:12','2010-10-05 11:11:13'),(2527,8,'Money matters','money-matters','Are you financially sound?','Without any savings or benefits from either a public or private pension scheme in your old age, you might be forced to opt for the ‘Go Native scheme’ (the fried rice & Sangsom approach), the ‘Bangkok Pension Plan’ (wait for moneyed relatives to expire) or go out with a bang aka ‘The Flying Club’.

You are well prepared and financially quite healthy. You\'ve got it all figured out and are probably living a care-free life of comfort abroad. Thinking of buying a new flat-screen TV, a car or even a house is not a pipe dream for you but a real possibility. You regularly splash out on fine western food and quality clothes, or could if you wanted to. Friends and family may describe you as either generous or tight-fisted.<br />How to improve your financial situation: Gradually migrate to a more local lifestyle, if you haven\'t already done so. Invest wisely. Enjoy your life more by spending some of that dough or share some of your wealth, Scrooge.</p>\n<p>10 to 15 points<br />Not bad at all. You\'re living a life of relative luxury in a tropical land. You are possibly spending more than you should and take life one day at a time. You\'re not worried too much about when your next pay cheque will be and you don\'t owe money to colleagues, family or the local som tam vendor. You\'re cruising but haven\'t thought of long-term planning yet.<br />How to improve your financial situation: Start drinking Leo instead of Heineken. Do some overtime or get an extra part-time job. Cut down on rent for housing and friends.</p>\n<p>5 to 10 points<br />Technically you\'ve failed the test, but there is a sparkle of hope. You enjoy life a bit too much and may have a hole in your pocket. Either that or you\'re working for a pittance - possibly because you\'re inexperienced or unqualified. <br />How to improve your financial situation: Get a better-paid job, or rather hide your tattoos and get a job. Save more, drink less. Go native: food courts, a shoe-box apartment and cheap or no booze should become your friends. Hope a wealthy relative without any heirs croaks sooner rather than later.</p>\n<p>Fewer than 5 points<br />You are in dire straits financially. You don\'t know when the next meal will be. You won\'t be able to pay the rent if you aren\'t sleeping in parks yet. You are either addicted, a complete failure at keeping (or getting) a job or simply an expat hobo. <br />How to improve your financial situation: Your plans for getting out of this black hole probably involve robbing a local 7-Eleven or selling a kidney. Jumping from a tall building might be the quickest way out of your misery.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />Although this mock survey belongs to the lighter side of the financial spectrum, one cannot ignore the importance of being well-prepared when living and/or working abroad. A steady job that pays well enough is the basis of any sound household (millionaires excluded) and at the end of the month, you should have spent less than you earned. Ideally, you should be able to set aside at least some of your salary every month. How else are you going to pay for your next holiday, visit back home, set of false teeth or that new DSLR camera?</p>\n<p>Being prepared for all eventualities (e.g. temporary unemployment) or even small catastrophes (e.g. accident or health problems) is simply common sense. You may find yourself out of a job unexpectedly, need a hip replacement or go on holiday. And don\'t forget, somebody will have to pay for your Thai mother-in-law\'s funeral rites (if applicable) or the sick buffalo\'s medication and, guess what, that person would be you.</p>\n<p>Unless you plan to live a life of forced moderation and Spartan accommodation, you\'ll need at least some sort of pension to see you through your old age. This might still seem a distant future now, but remember that times flies when you\'re having fun. You don\'t want to find yourself in the situation where you\'re considered pitiful not just by fellow expats, but also by locals. By the way, making some extra cash on the side by collecting and selling recyclable crap is on the Ministry of Labour\'s &lsquo;forbidden jobs for foreigners\' list.</p>\n<p>Without any savings or benefits from either a public or private pension scheme in your old age, you might be forced to opt for the &lsquo;Go Native scheme\' (the fried rice &amp; Sangsom approach), the &lsquo;Bangkok Pension Plan\' (wait for moneyed relatives to expire) or go out with a bang aka &lsquo;The Flying Club\'. None of these options is ideal if you ask me. Anyway, I won\'t lecture others on what to do - or not to do - but don\'t blame me later for not warning you.</p>\n</p>','','2010-10-08 18:00:46',1,'2010-10-08 18:00:46','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2537,10,'A day in Pattaya','a-day-in-pattaya','How was Thailand\'s favorite beach resort holding up?','“Gone up-market” is always a risky expression to use where Pattaya is concerned, but that’s genuinely how I felt about area around the beach road and the sea-front. Gone were many of the tatty beer-bars I remember from yesteryear and in their place was an assortment of pricey Indian restaurants, air-conditioned shopping malls and a selection of swanky hotels. ','<p>Perhaps it\'s something to do with becoming middle-aged, but I\'ve found lately that weekends have become awfully routine. And the truth is my wife and I like it that way. On Saturdays we\'ll potter around the house in the morning and do a few odd jobs. We\'ll go out to a local restaurant for lunch. Perhaps some reading or a movie in the afternoon, and then evenings are usually given over to watching Premier League football or waiting for the scores to come through on the internet. Sunday is a shopping day. We\'ll compile a shopping list, analyze what we need to buy, and then decide whether it\'s going to be a &lsquo;big shop\' at either Tesco or Foodland, or a leisurely stroll around Paradise Park Mall and pick up a few ready meals for the freezer. And of course we collect our laundry on the way home. It\'s jet-set stuff.\n<p>This weekend, thanks to England preparing for a meaningless international, there was no premier league football. This meant going to bed earlier than usual and getting up early on Sunday morning to face a long day ahead of us.</p>\n<p>\"Let\'s go out for the day\" my wife suggested.<br />\"OK where to?\" I said.<br />\"What about Pattaya?\"</p>\n<p>I almost choked on my Cornflakes. \"Pattaya! You mean Thailand\'s favorite beach resort? The Pattaya we haven\'t been to for almost twelve years despite it being less than two hours away. That Pattaya? The Pattaya that in the words of the bloke who wrote ajarn\'s region guide, <em>is, in its very essence, the stale, rank smell of the morning after. It is youth and age entwining together and supping from the same cold pot. It is the deep chill of regret and the flushed heat of need. It is the mist-wracked border-land between the night-fumbled dreams of stilted adolescence and the crass cash-fueled opportunities of middle age</em>. You mean that Pattaya?\"</p>\n<p>\"Er.......yes\" my wife said.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t believe I was in the mood to make such reckless, spur-of-the-moment decisions, but thirty minutes later, we were filling up with gas and buying snacks for the journey. We were most definitely on our way to Pattaya. Sod the laundry and to hell with the grocery shopping. We were both flushed with a certain devil-may-care attitude. It doesn\'t take much to make us happy.</p>\n<p>A 90-minute leisurely drive is all that\'s required - and suddenly you are tootling along Pattaya\'s beach road in its full glory. I rubbed my hands together with glee. I could barely conceal my excitement. It had been a long time.</p>\n<p>What struck me about Pattaya - at least observing it from the angle of the beach road during daylight hours - is how similar it is to Benidorm on Spain\'s Costa Blanca. At least in the way it feels. Shirtless tourists wander around a tad bleary-eyed from the previous night\'s excesses and there is always somewhere you can get a full English breakfast. My wife made the same observation. She\'s been to Benidorm several times.<br />\"Why would Europeans travel to the other side of the world to do the same things they could do much cheaper at a Spanish resort like Benidorm?\"</p>\n<p>A three letter word beginning with S immediately came to mind but it was far too early in the day to engage in an analysis of society and market demands. So I just nodded in agreement.</p>\n<p>We stuck the car in the very impressive-looking Hilton Hotel Complex, and emerged into the Pattaya sunshine ready for a stroll along the beach road and to find somewhere for a late breakfast / early lunch.</p>\n<p>The pedestrian walkway, which skirts Pattaya\'s main beach, is still one of the greatest places on earth to people-watch. There are small clusters of ex-pat retirees, all white hair and leathery sun-tan, sitting on the wall chatting and putting the world to rights. There are Thai hoodlums and chancers necking back large bottles of Singha - their eyes peeled to see which gullible tourist might be up for a hustle. There are Thai operators selling boat trips to the islands as well as jet-skis, parasailing, scuba-diving, snorkeling, and all manner of activities aimed chiefly at tourists who can\'t go to a beach and just sit still. There are the ordinary Thai working-class day-trippers, who have set up a small picnic mat and are now getting excited about a bowl of fish heads. And then of course there are the ladies of the night. Those in particular who have found themselves the wrong side of forty and have to resort to hustling in broad daylight, dressed up to the nines, and hoping to catch the attention of a flabby retiree looking for a bit of lunchtime slap and tickle. The whole scene is a wondrous melting pot of the good, the bad and the ugly. I love it. Benidorm isn\'t in the same league.</p>\n<p>After a half-hour walk along the beach road, taking in the sights and sounds but getting ever hungrier, we happened upon the Hard Rock Caf&eacute; Complex with its restaurant, shop, hotel, swimming pool and a rather fetching giant-sized guitar handle that seems to have just erupted from out of the ground. We\'ve been in the Hard Rock Caf&eacute; in Siam Square, Bangkok several times and while the menu prices always prompt a quick call to the bank manager, the food quality is always exceptional.</p>\n<p>We walked into the very large and very empty Hard Rock Caf&eacute; restaurant and I instantly regretted the decision. Eating an overpriced Sunday lunch is one thing, but eating it in a place where you are the only diners and all there is to do is watch the staff as they re-arrange bar towels, break large lumps of ice into smaller lumps and polish wooden table-tops is quite another.</p>\n<p>We sat there and ate our meal and watched a succession of music videos performed by a veritable &lsquo;who\'s who of rock bands I can\'t stand\' - Dire Straits, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick - you get the picture. Just above us was a glass case in which a military jacket allegedly worn by Sting during one of his concerts was mounted. To the left of this was a hat worn by George Harrison while he was filming &lsquo;Let it Be\'. Nice if you like that sort of thing.</p>\n<p>I can never complain about the food at The Hard Rock Cafe though. We ordered a combo platter of spicy chicken, beef brisket and spare ribs with a side order of chips, beans and salad. The citrus salad dressing was delicious, the food was piping hot throughout and the meat just fell off the bone. It\'s just a pity that to wash it all down you get stung for Coke or Sprite at 185 baht a glass. Plus 7% government tax. Plus 10% service charge. You do however get to keep the souvenir glass but you aren\'t allocated shares in the company or given a seat on the board, which is what I half expected. No wonder the place was empty - almost eight dollars for a soda. There was an open-air beer bar I noticed a few yards down serving all drinks, including beer, at 40 baht a glass. And at no extra charge, a dusky maiden would give you a rub-down with a cold towel and you could play Connect 4 until your fingers bled.</p>\n<p>Before we hit the streets to continue our tour of Pattaya, I paid a quick visit to the gents. The toilets were spotlessly clean. My mom would have appreciated that.</p>\n<p>Back on the beach road, we decided to plonk ourselves down on a couple of deckchairs. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than snoozing under an umbrella on Pattaya\'s gorgeous beach (no, don\'t laugh) with a young coconut, a good book and listening to the roar of a jet-ski as it decapitates a German holidaymaker. And then of course there are the beach vendors - that endless stream of sellers who file past your deckchair, invading your personal space, and trying to flog you an array of stuff you\'re in no mood to buy. In the space of barely twenty minutes, I counted eight ice-cream sellers, four people selling sunglasses made in Italy (I know this to be true because it said \"Made in Italy\' on the frame), six people who were willing to decorate me with tattoos, a dozen or so vendors selling deep-fried squid and two chancers wanting me to part with cash for the wooden frog that croaks when you run a stick along its back. And if you haven\'t seen the wooden frog, you\'ve never been to Thailand. When the bloke with the full-size poster of four dogs playing pool in a whisky joint made an appearance, I grabbed my wife by the hand, threw 120 baht at the deckchair owner for two chairs and two young coconuts - and ran!</p>\n<p>A lifetime ago, I sat on Pattaya Beach for the very first time and spent all day saying &lsquo;mai aw khrap\' to a thousand beach vendors. They got so tiresome at one stage that I had a Thai friend write a message on a piece of cardboard, which I would then rest on my chest whenever I just wanted to close my eyes and do a spot of sunbathing. It said \"I do not wish to make any purchases so please kindly fuck off\" - or words to that effect.</p>\n<p>I was under the impression that the authorities had banned vendors from Pattaya Beach. If anything, the situation was worse than it was twenty years ago. I invented a whole new acronym - VPM - vendors per minute. Wouldn\'t it be useful if they had small signage boards along the beach giving you an estimated VPM. This would give you an inkling of how many times you are likely to be bothered if you choose to sit in that particular section of the beach.</p>\n<p>\"Oh I\'m not sitting there my love. The VPM is way over ten. I\'m looking for somewhere with a VPM of one or two - certainly single digit.\"</p>\n<p>\"Gone up-market\" is always a risky expression to use where Pattaya is concerned, but that\'s genuinely how I felt about area around the beach road and the sea-front. Gone were many of the tatty beer-bars I remember from yesteryear and in their place was an assortment of pricey Indian restaurants, air-conditioned shopping malls (none more impressive than the one where we had parked the car) and a selection of swanky hotels. Getting the idea that Pattaya might well become a decent place for a weekend getaway, we decided to enquire about a few room prices, starting with a modest-looking hotel that appeared to have some spacious corner units with an attractive sea-view.</p>\n<p>I walked into the lobby and marched up to the receptionist, a middle-aged woman with a face like thunder, who looked me up and down as if I were an imperfectly formed piece of shit.<br />\"What?\" she barked. Nothing else. That was it. \"What?\" Just one word.<br />I don\'t think I\'ve ever had the desire to punch a woman quite like I had at that moment. Conjuring up my finest snarl, I asked about the rates for the corner rooms with the nice balcony - the ones with a sea view. \"1500 baht a night\" The receptionist spat the answer back at me. This was fantastic. We were like two stags locking horns in the morning mist. My wife - with a far higher degree of politeness than the situation merited - asked if we could see a room. I closed my eyes and waited for the woman to chase us out of the hotel with a broom. Surprisingly she tossed a key at some hotel handyman and the three of us squeezed into the world\'s smallest elevator. The rooms looked far better from the street outside. From the inside, they were like a shrine to plastic vinyl and chipboard. There was no way I could stay there even though the thought of winding up the receptionist appealed to me immensely. \"These rooms are only 1300 baht a night\" said the handyman in a desperate last-ditch attempt to convert a walk-in.</p>\n<p>We stuck our heads into the bathroom where another one of the hotel staff was hosing down the bathtub. She told us without any prompting whatsoever, that the rooms were 1100 baht a night. So at least we had a good idea of the room rates. Basically the staff didn\'t have a clue. They just made it up as they went along.</p>\n<p>On the same soi, leading off the sea-front, was the A-One Boutique Hotel. The term &lsquo;boutique hotel\' always lowers my spirits. I can picture a flat screen TV, a remote control unit still in its original cellophane, a pastel-colored bath-towel lying on the bed and arranged in the shape of a swan, and all this in a room so tiny you have to go outside in order to change your mind. To get to the reception, you had to skirt an elaborately designed swimming pool and a patio with expensive-looking wicker furniture. I asked the receptionist if she had any special weekend rates and was quoted 3,500 baht a night. The normal rate was apparently 7,500.</p>\n<p>I wanted to ask what time she would be coming upstairs to tuck me in if I parted with over a hundred dollars a night for a boutique hotel in Pattaya but opted to ask if the hotel had wi-fi instead. Free wi-fi was indeed available in the lobby but if I wanted to use my laptop in the room, it would cost me an extra 500 baht a day. But she went to great lengths to assure me that for 500 baht I could use the wi-fi all day for a 24-hour period. I told her I would take a brochure and have a think about it. Then I left just in case she charged me for standing there and asking too many questions. The brochure and name-card both went into the nearest bin.</p>\n<p>By now the afternoon heat was at its most fierce. We had intended to walk in the other direction towards South Pattaya but I\'m sure it\'s an area best savored at night and perhaps we should think about heading home. We decided to have a stroll around the Hilton Hotel Shopping Complex and ponce off the air-conditioning. The complex boasted three floors of retail space with the usual designer brand names.</p>\n<p>I went into menswear shop, Nautica, to ask if they stocked any men\'s jeans. Although I\'m not one for ambling along the jetty in a striped rugby shirt or splicing the mainbrace with a sweater draped casually around my shoulders - an image that Nautica seems to promote - I do like their jeans. I thought that the snarling woman on the reception back at the first hotel was perhaps an isolated case of &lsquo;Pattaya folk jaded by tourism\' so it was reassuring in a way that the sales assistant who approached me in Nautica was every bit as rude and obnoxious. After giving me the unfriendliest welcome imaginable, he directed me to a modest pile of jeans, and then stood so close to me I could almost smell what he\'d had for lunch.</p>\n<p>It was refreshing to see that a few Pattaya folk - those who are given the responsibility of dealing with the general public - are still as nasty as I remember them all those years ago. But I\'m certainly not going to let a few grumpies spoil the day. It was a nice change to be back in \"Thailand\'s favorite beach resort\' and I\'m sure we\'ll return soon. I won\'t leave it more than ten years next time.

Teachers try to rationalize and explain (to themselves as much as anyone) why things are the way they are in Thailand. They point to MoE regulations, Teacher\'s licenses, budgets, etc. I have been living and working in Thailand for years and it seems patently obvious that the problems run much deeper than these symptoms. Thailand is fundamentally unprepared for competition in a global economy and modern world. The problem is cultural.</p>\n<p>The MoE regulations and the rest are simply the result of a fundamental inability to recognize the value of education. As others have noted, this country is full of hacks who call themselves teachers. This is, again, a symptom. Salaries, growth opportunities, management practices and the rest are sure signs that this is a country and culture that isn\'t willing to pay, put in the effort, or otherwise commit to hiring and utilizing quality educational personnel. Teacher\'s licenses and even TEFL certificates are bogus qualifications that enable you to teach in this developing country or others like Russia, Vietnam, China, etc.</p>\n<p>If you want to make a decent salary, you need to get certified as an educator in your own country and work in a developed country. Even traditionally lax countries are quickly jumping on the&nbsp;\'certified teacher\' wagon (check job ads for Taiwan, Korea and Japan) as more and more teacher\'s from western countries are laid off. I personally have a TEFL and it was the biggest waste of time. I don\'t mean to suggest that there are no benefits to getting one but they are not real teaching qualifications. A recent article in the Bangkok Post talked about how Thais are some of the least qualified employees working in other Asian countries. The article said that less than 10% of Thai applicants for jobs in Korea can pass basic language exams to function in a Korean workplace; that compares with 80% plus of Vietnamese applicants and those from other SE Asian countries. This places Thai employees in the poorest, most dangerous working conditions in Asia.</p>\n<p>Another article, an editorial written by a Thai business man (the owner of Black Canyon), said that he considers Thailand\'s biggest problem to be complacence amongst Thai youth and a willingness to tolerate unethical behavior. This seems perceptive. The inability to learn English in the classroom seems in part a consequence of a certain arrogance. In the late 90\'s, before the Asian economic crash, Thailand was a \"rising tiger\" economy (IMF). They haven\'t noticed how competitive Singapore, Malaysia, and even Indonesia have become since the collapse. Thais, like the French, Japanese, and those from many other Asian countries are still in denial about the fact that their language is not the \"language of business\" or a \"world language\". Thailand is also surrounded by Burma, Laos, and Cambodia; none of these countries are paragons of progress and development, to understate the situation entirely. It\'s hard not to think you\'re awesome when you\'re surrounded by these global powerhouses.</p>\n<p>I have taught ESL classes at two Thai schools (Satit Chula and Suan Sunandha Rajabat University). Chula is one of Thailand\'s most reputable schools. The students were far better at Chula than at Rajabat. But this downplays the fact that students, given powerful incentives that worked like a charm with students in South Korea and a minority of the Chula kids, at one of the best schools in Thailand were incapable of finishing very simple worksheet exercises. I counted that more than 50% of my Chula students were either not able or unwilling to finish a worksheet when the rewards were movie time and candy. This was shocking for me.</p>\n<p>Rajabat was even more hellish. I left after two months and a near nervous breakdown (I was actually trying to get results). As an aside, in a survey of workplace challenges for Thai and foreigner staff, Thais reported two very interesting things about expats:1- (this is the interesting bad one) foreigners always seem to think they understand Thai culture [I understand the issues that this causes me as I deliver this argument] and 2- western expats are very results-oriented (this is obviously the good one).</p>\n<p>Being results-oriented in a country that isn\'t at all is difficult. Thailand is not known for standards, advance-planning, and organization (all of which are required for a successful educational system). I can\'t tell you how many Thai students have asked me to take the SAT\'s for them for sometimes as much as 100,000 THB. But this is manifested in many more areas than just education. Just look at the failure to get the BTS extensions running, the road structure, law enforcement, logical structural planning in the construction of malls, etc, etc, etc (everyone of my friends who have visited me have gotten lost in MBK).</p>\n<p>Thailand is still a great country to live in and it has some of the friendliest immigration regulations around (albeit only for those who don\'t want to stay longer than 90 days, but that is common to Asian countries: I\'ve taught in Korea and I received a stern warning from my fantastic boss in Korea that I should, rather, MUST leave the country and return to my home after a few years). The massive number of expats that seem to keep flooding in regardless of political issues, etc. is proof enough of this.</p>\n<p>I no longer teach ESL classes to Thai-school students. I will never again work for another Thai boss. I now work for a Chinese man with Thai citizenship (caters to the Taiwanese test prep market) and a pair of foreigners. If you\'re smart and resourceful enough, there are thousands of opportunities out there. Leave the Thai school ESL classes to the hacks. That will seriously cut down on the complaining and horror stories. This is a country where merit (not the Buddhist kind, obviously) is paid for, not earned.</p>\n<p>Working with wealthy Thais exposes you to a completely different culture than the one you\'ll experience in government school. Many things are the same but many others are not and it reveals the fact that the Thai populace is not completely to blame for their infirmities. The majority are systematically kept away from the kind of cultural reinforcement they need from their wealthier counterparts. Buddhism and other authority elites constantly tell the public to be patient, to wait, be modest, and never have high ambitions. Meanwhile, elites are constantly moving to better their lot and find more to sell to the credulous public. This is not supposed to be an exercise in conflict theory but to say, having worked for the family that owns Central and the family that owns True, that they are a very different breed from your average Tesco customer.</p>\n<p>Citing the criminals who call Thailand home is superfluous. The flexible immigration regulations and lax law enforcement make Thailand a favorite among criminals of all stripes and colors. Pattaya is a hilarious (and scary) melting-pot of mafia types. In a country where a get-out-of-jail free card and cheap love combo-set is a couple thousands US dollars, it should come as no surprise that pedophiles find Thailand to be a desirable locale.</p>\n<p>Now I\'ll wait to see how much the foreign Thai-culture experts and arrogant (that\'s a paradox if I ever heard one) ESL teacher know-it-alls have to say about all this.</p>\n<p><strong>Aaron</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thaist4.jpg','2010-10-15 08:50:55',1,'2010-10-15 08:50:55','2010-10-16 16:04:56'),(2600,108,'Life insurance for savings or family protection','life-insurance-for-savings-or-family-protection','A detailed look at what life insurance is all about','I strongly believe that life insurance should primarily be purchased to guarantee financial security for loved ones, to cover payment of a debt (house purchase) or guarantee continuation of a business should an owner/partner die unexpectedly.','<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many, many years ago, life insurance companies attempted to invade the Land of Smiles by offering Thais guaranteed financial protection for their loved ones. But the inhabitants of LOS repulsed them and drove them away. What these invaders didn\'t realize was that the inhabitants of the Land of Smiles had no interest in, nor need for, purchasing guaranteed financial protection for their loved ones. Their culture already provided that protection through large close-nit extended families, thus, pretty much dooming any effort to sell life insurance in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Eventually, just after the end of WW2, a small and little known (at that time) American insurance company arrived on the scene from China. They had been very successful there selling life insurance to the Chinese before the Communists took over China and tossed them out.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Quite similar to the Thais in their philosophy of family, the Chinese also had had absolutely no interest in buying life insurance to provide financial security for their family; but still, they purchased a lot of life insurance. After arriving here, they quickly proceeded to conquer Thai hearts and minds, just as they had done with the Chinese, by offering them various forms of savings programs, packaged as life insurance, that allowed them to build up cash for financial needs in 10 or 20 years, at age 65, for their child\'s college education, etc. This form of life insurance is actually a \"savings endowment.\". It protects the saver\'s savings program by continuing it if the saver gets disabled and can\'t continue the monthly \"deposits\" or, if the saver dies, completes the savings program and pays the money to a designated loved-one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>This concept of life insurance conquered the hearts of the Thai people and even won over the Thai government, which now rewards buyers with a tax deduction for the purchase of Thai baht life insurance. They do this to encourage Thais to accumulate savings. And now, everyone has a friend or a relative who is selling for this life insurance company. Plus, there are about 25 other life insurance companies now selling life insurance in Thailand using the same approach.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Meanwhile, many years later back in the USA, I went to work selling \"family plan\" life insurance policies to young families. I sold for a company that was \"as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.\" As I got to understand life insurance more, though, I decided to seek out a life insurance product that would appeal to the more sophisticated, upscale life insurance buyers. I focused my search on finding the lowest cost whole-life insurance policy available in America, providing the highest amount of coverage for the lowest premium. Then, I got myself approved to sell this highly respected life insurance to my clients..</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Age and gender are two of the more important factors in helping to determine a life insurance premium. Gender is important because women tend to live longer than men. Age is important because every year you live; you come that much closer to dying. In fact, no matter how young or old you are this year, many people your age will not live to see another year. Life insurance companies know this and use mathematicians (Actuaries) to mathematically calculate your risk of dying at any given age.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I strongly believe that life insurance should primarily be purchased to guarantee financial security for loved ones, to cover payment of a debt (house purchase) or guarantee continuation of a business should an owner/partner die unexpectedly. Once these things have been provided for, then you can consider one of the many kinds of savings endowments available for your kids, your wife or yourself. If you don\'t have a family right now, but are hoping to have one in the future, this is a good time to start preparing by purchasing a good whole-life insurance policy. Every year that you wait, the cost to buy life insurance gets higher. Also, the very nature of the product causes it to build up cash value for future needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Actually, there are two totally different types of life insurance policies that I really like. One is Annual Renewable Term Life Insurance; the other is Whole-Life Life Insurance, as mentioned earlier.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Annual Renewable Term is pure death protection. The premium that you pay each year is determined by your age that year. The renewal premium goes up every year in accordance with your age that year. Since you are just paying the actual cost for your age that year, Annual Renewable Term Insurance is, theoretically, the lowest cost life insurance you can buy. It can be an excellent buy if you only need the death protection for just a few years; but we don\'t know of any insurer here offering it. Eventually, though, Annual Renewable Term becomes much more costly than Whole-life Insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>When you first purchase Whole-Life Insurance, the premium is much more costly than for pure Term Life Insurance. But the premium for Term Life Insurance keeps increasing over the years, while the premium for Whole Life Insurance remains constant throughout your life time. Eventually, the premium for Term Life Insurance will far exceed the premium for Whole-Life Insurance.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you first purchase Whole-Life Insurance you are overpaying in the early years so that you can maintain a reasonably low, level premium in the later years.. This is why life insurance policies build up cash value. They invest the \"overcharge\" and then return some of it to you in the form of cash build up in the policy. 1) You can borrow on that cash build up in the policy; 2) you can return the policy to the insurance company and receive the cash build up; 3) you can stop paying for the insurance and use the cash build up to convert the policy to reduced paid-up coverage; or 4) you can just stop paying and maintain the full coverage as Term Insurance until the Cash Value runs out.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>With this flexibility in mind, if you are purchasing life insurance for the financial protection of loved ones, I recommend that you spread the premium payment period out for as long as possible (to age 90 in Thailand). This way you can get more coverage for less cost until the kids are grown and on their own. Then, you can convert the policy to paid-up coverage or convert the policy to cash for your needs.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Thai baht life insurance is best for expats and their loved ones who are planning to live in Thailand indefinitely.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Also, since this blog is normally a source for health insurance information, I should mention that&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">health insurance</a><span>&nbsp;riders can also be attached to life insurance policies.

Monday morning&nbsp;signals the&nbsp;start of another working&nbsp;week and the passing of my one solitary day off. Yes, Sunday came and went in the blink of an eye yet again.&nbsp;I would love to have the whole damn weekend off but Saturday is such a busy day at the private language&nbsp;school where I work -&nbsp;and&nbsp;those Saturdays&nbsp;bring me in around 8,000 baht a month. Those Saturdays are the rent-payers.</p>\n<p>Two things dawn on me this morning - firstly that I forgot to go to the laundry yesterday to pick up my washing, and secondly that I haven\'t prepared today\'s lessons. My&nbsp;procrastination continues to wear me down and I\'m now faced with wearing a pair of socks and underpants that are very much&nbsp;the fag end of the&nbsp;weekly wash cycle. Still, if I can manage to&nbsp;avoid sitting down in class, the students probably&nbsp;won\'t notice Bart Simpson peeping out from under my trousers.</p>\n<p>I arrive at school three minutes before&nbsp;my 9.00 morning class. God, how I hate&nbsp;rushing to school and having no time to prepare. I\'ve not even got&nbsp;time for a quick coffee.&nbsp;A glass of&nbsp;water is&nbsp;just not the same. Bugger - not even time for a quick puff on a cigarette.</p>\n<p>Without caffeine and nicotine, I feel&nbsp;irritable - very&nbsp;irritable indeed. Things are made worse by the fact that my group of three teenage girls haven\'t done their homework. They promised implicitly that they\'d do it, but no - they lied. My whole lesson plan (checking homework) has gone well and truly out of the window. Is this the moment when I vent all my frustration, point a bony finger in their direction&nbsp;and&nbsp;shout \"where\'s your homework you&nbsp;bunch of losers?\" Would they complain to the&nbsp;receptionists (sorry, I mean&nbsp;student advisors)&nbsp;on the&nbsp;front desk if I did? Would I be fired as a result? Come to think of it - do I even care?</p>\n<p>During the break I stand and smoke a&nbsp;welcome ciggie&nbsp;near the fire exit. Great to at last take some nicotine into my lungs, but not so great to hear the weekend war stories from my teaching colleagues. Nana Plaza is going down the pan apparently. Number 27 at the&nbsp;Titty Twister&nbsp;has an amazing rack&nbsp;on her. And John\'s sexual performance on Saturday night matched that of the&nbsp;legendary John Holmes himself. \"She was begging me to stop\" he confides. When we\'d finished, she said \"how much do I owe you?\"&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It\'s difficult for me to comment on such&nbsp;matters. I\'m too busy trying to work out an interesting and entertaining way to teach phrasal verbs. I decide that there isn\'t one. There\'s only one thing that can get me through the next lesson - a photocopied word-search. The students will never use words like \'telescopic\' or \'botanical\' but it\'s the actual searching for the words that they enjoy. You can see it all over their little faces.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon,&nbsp;the director of studies -&nbsp;a small, nervous man with a&nbsp;thin moustache and a cruel face -&nbsp;summons me&nbsp;to his office. He doesn\'t have a teacher to do the corporate job at&nbsp;Bangkok Lighting,&nbsp;located somewhere&nbsp;in&nbsp;the middle of the&nbsp;Whoflungdung industrial estate. It\'s a nice little earner - 600 baht an hour - if you can put up with the journey, which involves a one-hour bus ride,&nbsp;three motorcycle taxis and a canal boat. I tell him I\'ll do it. It\'s an opportunity to expand my teaching skills. I\'m also desperate for the money.</p>\n<p>I arrive at Bangkok Lighting just in time for the class. Six&nbsp;junior managers, all&nbsp;wearing glasses and with faces only a mother could love, sit around an expensive teakwood&nbsp;conference table. That\'s actually all that\'s in the room. There\'s no whiteboard, no board markers and no hope. I get out a book called \'Presentation Skills for a New Generation\' and the class ask me if I&nbsp;have \'lady Thai\'.&nbsp;Some teachers might describe the next half hour as&nbsp;conversation practice but to me it\'s seven guys drowning in that pit of&nbsp;quicksand otherwise&nbsp;known as&nbsp;banal, shallow, conversational&nbsp;bullshit.&nbsp;We eventually turn to page 73 of the textbook.&nbsp;It looks dull. It looks&nbsp;exceedingly dull. I\'m beginning to wish that I\'d made more photocopies of the word-search.</p>\n<p>A two-hour bus journey,&nbsp;three motorbike taxis, and a canal boat later, I\'m standing outside my local laundry shop. She still&nbsp;hasn\'t finished my washing. There\'s apparently&nbsp;been a death in the family.&nbsp;God, how I loathe and despise that woman with her&nbsp;stupid Thai smile&nbsp;that translates as \'life is a bag of shit...and this is your bag of shit\' But truthfully,&nbsp;what I really need is a bag of freshly-laundered clothes.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday</h3>\n<p>Standing on a crowded bus to work, I\'m gripped with the paranoia that befalls someone wearing a pair of trousers that don\'t quite meet his shoes - a pair of shoes that could do with a bloody&nbsp;good&nbsp;polish. Upon arrival at work, I find myself face to face with a worried looking Thai mother who wants to know how her&nbsp;little Somchai is progressing in his lessons. How does he measure up to the other four-year olds?</p>\n<p>\"Oh he\'s doing fine\" I say, instead of \"Listen luv, the kid\'s four years old for f***\'s sake - he should be trying to get&nbsp;Xena the Warrior Princess&nbsp;onto level five or sticking pictures in books\" I go through the motions of showing concern when all I feel is sorry for the poor&nbsp;little blighter.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon I have a new class of six students. I go for the time-honored warm-up of getting them to introduce themselves to the rest of the class. \"Tell us all something interesting about yourself\"&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It never ever works, but right now I\'m so snowed under with lesson preparation that it\'s all I can think of. When we get to the fourth student, everyone else is getting bored and fidgety. I\'m getting bored and fidgety. I\'ve now&nbsp;heard four people tell me they like to \'read a book\' in their free time.&nbsp;I wonder if it\'s acceptable to start a new class with a word-search.</p>\n<p>I finally have a few hours free in the afternoon and instinctively reach for the Bangkok Post classified. It\'s the usual stuff. Yet another&nbsp;company is&nbsp;running a teacher training course that will \'open doors all over the world\' and&nbsp;a Thai-run school in&nbsp;Sukhumwit 72&nbsp;is looking for full-time and part-time teachers. They promise top-rates of pay but can only afford the smallest of ads in the newspaper. Something\'s not quite right there.</p>\n<p>With my brain on auto-pilot and with time to kill,&nbsp;I read through all the horoscopes in The Bangkok Post&nbsp;and even glance at&nbsp;the business section with pictures of high-flying businessmen who aren\'t&nbsp;teachers&nbsp;and probably&nbsp;never ever wanted to be. I begrudgingly take&nbsp;a look at Ajarn Terry\'s lesson plan in the education supplement. Is it going to be the answer to my prayers? No, yet again it\'s a lesson plan that focuses on some political news story, and yet again it\'s aimed at advanced level students. I promise myself to&nbsp;send Terry an&nbsp;e-mail begging him to print something that normal teachers might one day be able to&nbsp;use.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Wednesday</h3>\n<p>Wednesday\'s a quiet day. I have one of those awful teaching schedules with lessons in the morning from 9.00 to 11.30, and then evening lessons from 6.00 to 8.30. I have a gap in the middle of the&nbsp;day which would&nbsp;give me enough time to go shopping.......in Singapore if I so wished.</p>\n<p>The morning students are tired, the evening students are even worse. I love the way that the office people finish work, and then come to class and just want to be entertained. They view me as some sort of circus act. I\'m their bearded lady and human canonball rolled into one.&nbsp;I want to tell them that I\'m tired too. I\'ve spent six hours wandering around shopping malls, looking at things I can\'t afford. I\'ve read the Bangkok Post six times. I even&nbsp;leafed through&nbsp;one of those free \"What\'s On in Bangkok\' magazines&nbsp;- that\'s how bored I was. I managed to make a coffee in Starbucks last an hour. And after filling all that time - I still didn\'t have the motivation to sit down and prepare the lessons.</p>\n<p>Relaxing at home on the&nbsp;bed&nbsp;with a good book -&nbsp;and desperately trying to keep my eyes open -&nbsp;I receive a phone call. The lady who lives just down the soi wants me to teach her two children on Saturday mornings. She has two&nbsp;sons aged 5 and 8. It doesn\'t matter how old they are - let\'s just say that they\'re at the age when they would rather run around making aeroplane noises than look at a picture and tell me whether Jane is sitting or standing.&nbsp;There are two issues here though&nbsp;- firstly how much do I charge? and secondly, what the hell&nbsp;do the kids&nbsp;want to learn?</p>\n<p>\"Just give them conversation\" says the mother. It\'s&nbsp;a&nbsp;request I dread. It\'s about as unimaginative and wearisome as any&nbsp;request you care to mention. And what exactly madam do you propose that I converse with two small Thai boys about? - China\'s emergence as an Asian superpower? The advantages of holding the world cup in two different countries that have a history of bitter rivalry? Saturday morning it is then Khun Kittikorn. I\'ll see you at 7.30. Oh...the price? (the price, the price, how much is it worth?)&nbsp;The voice in my head is&nbsp;saying \"charge her 800 baht an hour, go on. You\'re professional, you\'re qualified, you have a good reputation. Charge&nbsp;her 800 baht an hour. The&nbsp;old cow\'s&nbsp;minted. They\'ve got four cars on the drive and a house with&nbsp;five bathrooms\" The words are there in my throat but they won\'t come out \" Shall we say 500 baht an hour&nbsp;Khun Kittikorn?\" Khun&nbsp;Kittikorn is more than happy. I\'ve sold myself short yet again. I couldn\'t really understand her reply but I\'m guessing it\'s the Thai equivalent of \'sorted\'. The voice in my head says \"Geez I\'ve come across some losers in my time but you take the biscuit\"</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday</h3>\n<p>I feel quite good this morning. I\'ve got my best shirt and tie on and I\'m clocking my reflection in the mirror - \'no, please, be gentle, not all five Spice Girls please!\' It\'s a good money\' day\' today - an eight-lesson day with almost no breaks bar the one-hour break for lunch. I\'m going to treat myself today. I\'m going to have sausage and mash or pie and chips at the Toby Jug. Yeah, I know that rice and a few scraps of chicken followed by a bag of fresh pineapple is healthy but I\'m a bloody farang - I need sustenance, I need carbohydrates. I need to occasionally enjoy the delights of a \'farang sized portion\'&nbsp;and not feel guilty about it. Bollocks, after my sausage and mash, I might even&nbsp;treat myself to&nbsp;a fun-sized&nbsp;Mars bar from 7-11 -&nbsp;and stick two fingers up to the world.</p>\n<p>The day was spoiled by only one thing - a lesson observation. The head teacher came and sat in on&nbsp;one of my morning classes - a class that didn\'t go particularly well. After the observation, we sat down together to discuss and analyze the&nbsp;lesson in detail. As you would expect, this was a conversation between&nbsp;two EFL&nbsp;professionals. It was a case of pinpointing my weak areas and making suggestions on how I can become a more competent and successful teacher.</p>\n<p>\"You didn\'t move around the class enough\" the head teacher remarked.</p>\n<p>\"Well what do you expect for 220 baht an hour. Why don\'t you get me a pair of bloody roller-skates and maybe I can move a bit quicker\"</p>\n<p>\"The one student participated very little in the class. It was as though you were deliberately trying to avoid asking her any&nbsp;questions.\"</p>\n<p>\"I avoid asking her questions because she\'s a complete fruit loop. You mean the girl who sits in the corner licking Lego?&nbsp;Every time she answers a question, she\'s 100% wrong. That takes a very&nbsp;special kind of talent.\"</p>\n<p>\"They\'re&nbsp;just kids Jim. Do you feel that you used the whiteboard correctly?\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, I wrote on it if that\'s what you\'re getting at. It\'s generally what I use the whiteboard for. I do know some teachers who take it off the wall and&nbsp;pretend it\'s a magic carpet -&nbsp;but I didn\'t have me screwdriver handy\"</p>\n<p>Ahhhh, professional development - the cornerstone of any language school.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Friday</h3>\n<p>I start off the morning\'s kids class with a Mr Bean video lesson. It involves watching two episodes of Mr Bean (fills an hour just nicely) and then the kids tell me whether it was good or not. Listen, while they keep telling me it\'s good, I\'ll keep on giving the punters what they want.</p>\n<p>I\'m then left with two hours to kill before my next lesson and have no alternative but to mingle with my colleagues in the teachers room. Our teachers room is no different to any other I guess. There\'s a selection of coffee mugs with cheery&nbsp;messages such as&nbsp;\'world\'s greatest lover\' and&nbsp;\'If you had it last night smile\' - you get the picture. Next to them there\'s the communal spoon, which is caked in dried coffee powder, coffee mate and sugar. There\'s a battered old sofa which&nbsp;generations of teachers&nbsp;have farted into, and half a dozen ergonomically challenged armchairs. There\'s a bookcase full of textbooks written by Oxford University professors, with titles like \'English Grammar - Full on\', and \'Grammar and more Grammar - the non-illustrated version\' There\'s a crossword game with half the pieces missing and a trivial pursuit with all the answers marked on the cards&nbsp;in cheap biro. We have a hanging file index where teachers can put activities that worked well in their lessons. The idea being that other teachers can dip into the activity file in their hour of need.&nbsp;The activity file&nbsp;currently contains a paperclip, a discount coupon for&nbsp;a Burger King happy meal -&nbsp;and an old lottery ticket.</p>\n<p>This time spent idly in the teachers room does give me the chance to meet up with some of my teaching colleagues. Thursday is a busy day and most of the staff are present in one form or another. There\'s Daphne from the home counties. She\'s here with her husband, who\'s been sent from the UK to work on a big chemical project on the eastern seaboard. She teaches a few hours a week&nbsp;just to keep her hand in and keep her from getting bored. She regales me with stories of last night\'s superb meal at Auberge Dab and&nbsp;tells me that&nbsp;the foie gras&nbsp;was simply \'to die for\'. She keeps getting interrupted by Dagenham Dave, who is trying to fill us all in on why Soi Cowboy just isn\'t the same since the Big Pussy Bar closed. And then there\'s Jemima, a new graduate from the USA, coming to teach in Thailand because......well, actually she doesn\'t have a reason. The school arranged to pick her up at the airport,&nbsp;found her&nbsp;an apartment, sorted her out with a schedule, told her where she could buy decent underwear, and for all that she\'s&nbsp;still pissing and moaning.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday</h3>\n<p>And while the rest of the Bangkok population push trolleys around supermarkets and play computer games in the peace and quiet of their homes, I\'m faced with my busiest day of the week. Those who don\'t push trolleys around supermarkets&nbsp;or play computer games come and sit in my lesson with expectant looks on their faces. They expect me to open a little trapdoor in the top of their heads and insert a small English Language microchip. There are horrified looks all round when I imply that learning the English language involves opening books to certain page numbers and performing alien functions such as speaking, moving and getting up out of your chair. It all comes as quite a shock.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sunday</h3>\n<p>Pissed.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Monday</h3>\n<p>Monday morning promises to be interesting - I\'ve taken on a private course with Mrs Sakakaki, a Japanese housewife who lives in a high rise condo on Sukhumwit 33. I\'ll do one hour of conversation with her and then one hour with her eight-year old son, Aoki . With&nbsp;Aoki it will be basically teaching&nbsp;anything I can get away with. I\'ve slipped a cheap coloring book into my satchel as purely a precautionary measure. It may well be a case of &lsquo;close the door little Aoki and let\'s see how many of these animals we can color in - oh! a blue kangaroo, you\'re making wonderful progress\'</p>\n<p>I arrive at the condominium well before our scheduled 9\'o\'clock start, which gives the insecurity guard ample time to subject me to the closest of scrutiny. He regards me with a look of contempt that is usually adopted by people inspecting a particularly horrible carpet stain.</p>\n<p>\" I\'m here to see Mrs Sakakaki in apartment 53B\"</p>\n<p>\"Are you an English teacher?\" he asks with a sneer.</p>\n<p>\"Yes I am\" I reply \"Why else would I be here at 8.30 in the morning, wearing a tie and&nbsp;dripping with sweat?\"</p>\n<p>Mrs Sakakaki\'s apartment is exactly what you\'d expect to get if you were willing to shell out 80,000 baht a month on rent. It\'s a palace in the sky with a host of doorways leading off from the sumptuous main living room. No doubt they are doors that lead to fitted kitchens, master bedrooms, and en suite bathrooms. I can barely conceal my jealousy.</p>\n<p>In the refreshments department, Mrs Sakakaki stretches to a glass of tepid water and a plate of nibbles each predictably wrapped in a thin coating of seaweed. As we spend a painful hour trying to ascertain which part of Japan she\'s from, little Aoki races around the room on a skateboard and&nbsp;periodically crashes into my chair with a resounding thump. To which his mother berates him with the Japanese equivalent of \"go and play in your bedroom my precious little&nbsp;darling\"</p>\n<p>At the end of an hour, I\'ve discovered that she originally hails from Tokyo, her husband is presently at the office, and her favorite place in Thailand is surprisingly the Bridge over the River Kwai. I\'ve also discovered that little Aoki should have been strangled at birth.</p>\n<p>Today is something of a kid\'s day for me - I have a class of five-year olds waiting for me back at the school in the afternoon. After&nbsp;three weeks spent coloring in animals, I decide to introduce them to the world of drama.</p>\n<p>\"Now kids, I want you to imagine that I\'m a little seed buried deep in the earth, and you\'re the sun. That\'s right you\'re the sun. Let me see your rays. Let me see those rays nourishing me as I grow bigger. Now I\'m a fully grown tree. Can you see my conkers?\" I just pray to God that the director of studies isn\'t ear-wigging this on the other side of the door.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Tuesday</h3>\n<p>I spend the morning at home going through the pages of Ajarn.com and trying to fill some of the gaps in my schedule. I make two phone calls. One is to a school on Sukhumwit 58 that is looking for...wait for it.....English language facilitators. I just love that. As though avoiding the word &lsquo;teacher\' is going to conjure up an image of anything different to standing in front of six bored shitless teenagers while&nbsp;holding a well-thumbed Interchange. I had already sent my resume to the school&nbsp;director so he was expecting my call. After the traditional pleasantries, he goes on to ask me about my resume itself.</p>\n<p>\"I see that your C.V states that you have an interest in English grammar. Can you tell me the difference between a countable and an uncountable noun?\" I immediately respond with \"Good heavens man, it says I\'m interested, not f***ing obsessed\"</p>\n<p>It becomes crystal clear that this is not a job for me.</p>\n<p>The second phone call is to a woman who has advertised for &lsquo;teacher wanted for casual conversation\' She picks up the phone and I ask her for more details about the job. \"Yes, we are three middle-aged Thai women with big hair and faux pearls. We want to sit around a table with a farang teacher and make the most appalling grammar mistakes while at the same time pawing each other\'s silk dresses and cackling raucously. For this we are willing to cross your palm with the princely sum of 400 baht an hour\" I ask her if I can have some time to think about it. She reluctantly agrees.</p>\n<p>On the bus journey into work, I sit next to a pretty young girl who is clutching an American English&nbsp;textbook. She is&nbsp;obviously on her way to an English class. I can sense that she so desperately wants to say something, but she\'s at the distinct disadvantage of having studied the Interchange textbook. She spends the whole bus&nbsp;journey wondering if I\'m American and wondering&nbsp;if&nbsp;\"Hey dude, how are they hanging?\" is really the most appropriate conversational gambit.</p>\n<p>Back in school and time to pick up my photocopying. We have a marvelous photocopying system. The teacher decides how many copies of a certain page they need, fills in a photocopying request form and leaves it on the receptionist\'s desk. The following day you walk into the school and find that the request form is exactly where you left it. A truly wonderful system. And why may you ask should a receptionist spend her valuable time fiddling around with a knackered&nbsp;photocopying machine when the time can be spent calling up boyfriends and filing her nails? So after an hour or so of fishing jammed-up paper from the machine\'s internal workings, I can at last retire to the sanctuary of the teacher\'s room. Only to find that the maid is sick and the communal coffee spoon has gone missing.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Next Wednesday</h3>\n<p>On my way out to work I stop in at the reception to pay my apartment bill. It includes&nbsp;280 baht for international phone calls I never made, and 1,300 baht for air-conditioning that I rarely use. As I leave through the front gates being careful not to wake up the security guard, the apartment owner pips his horn from behind the wheel of his new Mercedes.</p>\n<p>Before work, I drop by the English language bookstore in Siam Square. I\'m desperately looking for something that will spice up my lessons. The choice of textbooks is mind-boggling. All of them seem to have wistful and romantic names like &lsquo;Expressions\', &lsquo;Whispers\', and &lsquo;Lifestyle\' - names that are quite frankly more suited to a luxury panty liner than a range of English language textbooks. It takes me an age to select something I\'m happy with, and at the end of the day I just want to grab the book, slap 250 baht on the counter and piss off, but no......there\'s the teacher\'s manual to consider. Not to mention the workbook, the video, the class cassette, the student-counseling guide, and the CD Rom with supplementary dance-mat.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I have a private one on one lesson with a Thai businessman. He is the product analyst for one of Bangkok\'s leading pharmaceutical firms. He tells me that it\'s his responsibility to meet with international clients and explain to them the merits of a whole range of cancer-fighting drugs and the advantages that original medicine can have over its generic competitors. After listening to him waffle on for half an hour and with my eyes feeling like two lead weights, I ask him to think of some questions to ask me. He pauses for a moment, purses his lips and comes straight out with it.</p>\n<p>\"Do you have lady Thai?\"</p>\n<p>I sink to my knees and beat my head on the carpet. I would rather be anywhere else than here. I would rather be waving my arms in the air at a Barry Manilow concert. I would rather be in a casino in Poi Phet. Never again will I moan about queuing outside the Thai consulate in Laos for fifteen hours only to be told to come back tomorrow. \n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Next Thursday</h3>\n<p>The Director of Studies calls all the teachers in for an emergency meeting. We all sit there in a semi-circle and wonder if our jobs are on the line. I\'ve noted down the number of&nbsp;a nearby kindergarten&nbsp;just in case.</p>\n<p>The DoS looks worried. \"We are not attracting anything like the number of students that we should be. From now on, I\'m introducing a student request system. Students will decide themselves&nbsp;which teacher they want to study with. If a student would rather study with a teacher purely because the teacher makes them laugh, then so be it.&nbsp;&nbsp;So I\'m telling you now - GET FUNNY!\"</p>\n<p>That night I go home and practice in front of the full length mirror. I pull faces and do a&nbsp;funny walk.&nbsp;Which side is my funniest?&nbsp;Can I remember&nbsp;my best classroom jokes?&nbsp;What\'s the laziest letter in the alphabet? - answer: the letter E because it\'s always in bed. I visualize a scenario where no one laughs and so I have to tell the joke a second time. Then the brightest student in the class has to explain it to the rest and any hope that the joke ever had of being even mildly entertaining has vanished forever. I see a vision of six students beating a path to the reception and banging collective fists on the desk. \"That teacher just isn\'t funny enough. We don\'t want to study with him\" I reach deep into my pocket and finger a scrap of paper. It\'s the phone number for a kindergarten.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Friday</h3>\n<p>In the morning I have a corporate training class at Bangkok Jams limited. The training manager has complained that I\'m not gearing the lesson towards the needs of the students so I prepare an ambitious lesson based on the present perfect - the &nbsp;&lsquo;have you ever\' question&nbsp;structure followed by the past participle of the verb. After familiarizing them with the structure by asking them questions such as &lsquo;have you ever been to Lumpini Park?\' and &lsquo;have you ever seen Last Tango in Paris?\' I remember the words of the training manager \"Gear the lessons to their needs\"</p>\n<p>\"So class, how many of you have ever fallen into the jam?\"</p>\n<p>Silence</p>\n<p>\"Have you ever dropped a jar of jam? If so, what flavor was it?\" (I thought that added a nice twist)</p>\n<p>Silence again.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me teacher. What\'s jam?\"</p>\n<p>My Saturday students have all cancelled so I have the rare chance to hit the town tonight. One student is burying her grandmother for the eighth time this year. Still, &nbsp;let\'s not dwell on the possibility of it being a white lie - it\'s Soi Cowboy and all its after-dark temptations for this here language instructor.</p>\n<p>And as the sun goes down and the night owls come out to play, I\'m sitting on a barstool next to a chubby Isarn girl called Noi. I\'m making&nbsp;a bottle of Super Leo last forever. After a marathon session of Connect Four, she eventually asks the question that we all dread -&nbsp;\"you work what in Bangkok?\" She probably wouldn\'t understand the expression &lsquo;language facilitator\' so I plumb for the more universally acceptable \"I\'m a teacher\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh, Bangkok have farang&nbsp;teacher too much\" Noi responds</p>\n<p>Her grammar is appalling, but I can\'t think of a six-word sentence that conveys a message so brutally honestly, so embarrassingly forthright. Her words are like a dagger to the heart.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Saturday</h3>\n<p>Today I\'ve been invited out for a meal by a group of ex-students. Suprise, surprise, they\'ve chosen a seafood restaurant near the river. Hell, I didn\'t see that coming.&nbsp;But the evening passes pleasantly enough with a group of eight&nbsp;ex-students nibbling on shrimp-cakes, and the teacher answering time-honored questions such as \"Why do you live in Thailand?\" and the&nbsp;annoyingly vague \"What about your country?\"</p>\n<p>And I realize that I\'ve still got Monday\'s lessons to prepare.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Next Sunday</h3>\n<p>Hangover. No aspirin.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Monday</h3>\n<p>At my corporate class with Bangkok Jams, I bump into the ex-pat general manager, Mr Hertz Van Rental, a cheerful, middle-aged gentleman from the land of clogs, windmills and funny looking cigarettes. Mr Van Rental is a dapper figure (suit by Daks of London, shirt from Reiss, necktie from the Gucci Spring collection, shoes by Churches of Northampton, socks by Burberry, and hair by Keith at Stink - \'would sir like a dab of mousse on that?\'</p>\n<p>This is in sharp contrast to yours truly (shirt from the Mall, Bangkapi, necktie borrowed from a mate, shoes from the Bata clearance sale, and hair by Mr Somchai at Ekkami barbers - \'that\'ll be 50 baht sir, next!\'</p>\n<p>He seems pleased to see me and shakes my hand warmly.</p>\n<p>\"Thank god you\'ve come, we\'ve been sweltering these past few afternoons with the air-conditioning not functioning properly\"</p>\n<p>\"Actually sir, I\'m not here to fix the air-conditioning. I think you\'ll find that\'s a job for a Thai. I\'m here to teach English to your staff\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh I\'m so sorry, I thought you were here about the air-con\"</p>\n<p>How we both laughed. What a lovely man.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I\'d prepared a lesson on ailments and cures for my conversation class of&nbsp;eight students. It involved holding up a series of pictures showing common maladies such as sore throat and a backache and the class then had to tell me what they would do if they suffered from such an affliction.</p>\n<p>I held up the picture of a man with a toothache.</p>\n<p>\"Go to the pharmacy\" shouted the class in unison.</p>\n<p>\"Ok, yes, you could go to the pharmacy. What about this picture?\"</p>\n<p>The man with migraine brings about the same response. \"Go to the pharmacy!\" they all shout. A similar pattern develops for the woman with period pain and the man with malaria. I\'ve had enough.</p>\n<p>\"Go to the pharmacy, go to the pharmacy, let\'s all go to the bloody pharmacy. Let\'s forget about the power of healing with the mind, home remedies, hypnotherapy, reflexology, let\'s all go to the bloody pharmacy!</p>\n<p>The vein on my forehead starts to glow bright purple, which always happens when I get mad.</p>\n<p>A silence descends on the class as though a naked man has just run through the room. I have - in EFL training course terminology -\'lost them\'</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Tuesday</h3>\n<p>Chinese New Year - Student cancellations threw the whole day into turmoil. It seems that my flock would rather stay at home and gorge themselves stupid than come to my English class and study the present perfect passive. Whichever way you look at it, I lost&nbsp;four periods of teaching. To make matters worse, the director of studies says that we have to show compassion towards the students and not charge them for late cancellations on this special day. I just stood there a quivering wreck. But I have bills to pay - the laundry woman always has 800 baht off me on the 15th of every month. And then there\'s the phone bill. I\'ll get cut off If I don\'t pay within 3 days and it costs 2000 baht to be re-connected. What am I going to do?</p>\n<p>I approach the director of studies and ask him if there\'s any chance of an advance on my salary - just 1000 baht will tide me over.</p>\n<p>Asking for an advance is every teacher\'s nightmare. Not only because it tells the world that you are totally incapable of handling your finances but because of the humiliation of going through the \'getting an advance\' procedure. The Thai staff member in charge of teacher&nbsp;advances is also the school\'s biggest farang-hater. It\'s a perfect combination. After you tell this person exactly how much money you need, she shares the information with the maid, the bloke who delivers the water, and any students who just happen to be sitting around in reception. After everyone has enjoyed a good laugh at your expense, she enters the amount borrowed in a ledger. All that then remains is for her to check your passport, teacher identity card, work permit and to post your name on the teacher\'s notice-board on a sheet of A4 paper with the heading&nbsp;\'ADVANCES FOR FEBRUARY\' cunningly&nbsp;fashioned&nbsp;with Microsoft Wordart.</p>\n<p>That afternoon, in my appalling pidgin Thai, I explain to the laundry woman about my finances being a little tight. She listens intently, occasionally shaking her head in sympathy, and when my sob story is complete and it is obvious that no money will be forthcoming, she stares at me and mutters the word \'buffalo\' under her breath. Happy Chinese&nbsp;New Year love.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Wednesday</h3>\n<p>Once more I\'m calling around after jobs advertised in the Bangkok Post classified.&nbsp;Happy English&nbsp;are claiming that if I\'m serious about teaching, then I shouldn\'t consider working for anyone else, and a company called&nbsp;Edutain (\'are you the clown we\'re looking for\')&nbsp;are promising new improved pay rates.&nbsp;A Christian school on&nbsp;Sukhumwit Road&nbsp;is looking for new teachers, as it does every month, and&nbsp;ABC Language&nbsp;are looking for their fifth academic director in a fortnight. One school is looking for \'professional teachers - you need to be either male or female\' I feel like calling them up and asking what other categories applicants might fall into, and another school promises \'loads of work for the right teacher\'.&nbsp;The right teacher usually means a guy fresh off the boat who will happily teach a 50-hour schedule and not ask for advances.</p>\n<p>I resign myself to staying at home with the bane of my life - the devious Noi. This girl shows me so much affection and all she asks in return is a roof over her head, the opportunity to play cards twice a week with the girl on the fourth floor, the freedom to spend hours chatting with the motorbike taxi drivers at the end of the soi, and 500 baht a day to put clothes on her back and&nbsp;rice on the table. Realising that I\'m going to be under her feet all day, she retires to the balcony and rustles me up an&nbsp;omelette (the Thai equivalent of spam and chips) Is this what I get for my 500 baht?</p>\n<p>In the evening I have an interview at the imaginatively named \' School of English Language \' on Soi Thonglor. Being 2 hours late and sweating profusely from both armpits didn\'t do much to endear me to the interviewer, so to show his impatience and arrogance, he launched straight into a grammar test.</p>\n<p>\"How would you teach adverbs of frequency?\"</p>\n<p>Ah, here was a double whammy - he wants to know about my teaching style and also if I know what an adverb of frequency is. I spend the next five minutes enlightening him as to the subtleties and how best to make students understand them. But as often happens in these situations, I get too clever. I tell him that \'often\' is an adverb of frequency but \'I often go to the movie theatre\' could mean once a week, whereas \'I often go to the dentist\' might convey the idea of twice a year, so it really depends on the situation.</p>\n<p>The interviewer thanks me for coming and says he\'ll be in touch. I have no doubt whatsoever that the moment my back was turned, he scribbled the word \'smartarse\' across my resume and shoved it in the bin.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Thursday</h3>\n<p>I have an interesting morning in store after Wednesday\'s enforced day off and zero baht going into my bank account. The director of studies is sick and he\'s asked me to step in and interview some potential teachers. The first guy is an American. It\'s obvious he\'s an American the moment he walks through the door - the shirt and tie combined&nbsp;with a baseball cap worn back to front are a dead giveaway. He introduces himself&nbsp;and&nbsp;asks about paid return flights home, annual bonuses and free education for his kids. At this point I realise&nbsp;that he\'s probably got the wrong address....in the wrong city of the wrong country. Next!</p>\n<p>Charlie Simpson is an interesting fella. Well educated, qualified, a history of being involved in top management, could this man be the answer to all our prayers? I listen with interest as he furnishes me with stories of a lifetime spent&nbsp;winning billion dollar contracts and now looking for a career change at the age&nbsp;57. There\'s something sinister about him though - he\'s reluctant to give me a contact phone number and he\'s a little sketchy about what he was up to between 1962 and 1985. His e-mail address \'ilovenanaplaza at hotmail.com doesn\'t do him any favors either.</p>\n<p>The best of the bunch is easily young Igor from the Balkan states. He\'s enthusiastic and energetic and more importantly willing to work for peanuts. I tell him about a nice little corporate job we\'ve got coming up - just past Ayutthaya. 70 kilometres past to be exact. Don\'t worry though Igor (my voice lowers to a whisper) we\'re gonna stick 200 baht travel money in your sky rocket. What can you do in the class? Just give \'em conversation me old son but for f*** sake don\'t mention you\'re from a&nbsp;small&nbsp;village in Southern&nbsp;Bulgaria.</p>\n<p>I turn to the receptionist and tell her to put this man on the payroll. We shake hands and I end the interview the way I end every interview \"Welcome aboard, I hope this is the beginning of a long and happy working relationship between us. Or at least until you\'ve finished the contract\" He expresses his deepest gratitude. At least I think it was his deepest gratitude. It\'s difficult to understand that thick Eastern European accent at times.</p>\n<p>In the evening, I do a private lesson with a girl from the next apartment. She comes round to my room with a bag of pineapple and her 300 baht tuition money (well you can\'t charge neighbors too much can you?) We both sit perched on the edge of the nylon duvet and talk about what she\'s done at school today. Despite my pleas to the devious Noi to make herself scarce while I\'m teaching, Noi sits on the floor watching a third rate Thai&nbsp;cabaret show&nbsp;and laughing like a nutter. Unable to take any more of these interruptions, I lash out with my foot and tell her to go and do something useful like make me an omelette. My private student is then witness to half an hour of name-calling and face-slapping, which ends with Noi locking herself in the bathroom. My private student hands me the&nbsp;300 baht tuition fee&nbsp;with a trembling hand. \"I think Phi Noi is angry\"</p>\n<p>\"No, It\'s just a phase she\'s going through.&nbsp;She\'ll be OK later. Same time next week then?\"</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Friday</h3>\n<p>It\'s an early start this morning. I teach an executive from 7.30-9.00 before he starts his proper day job. The hourly&nbsp;pay is good but who in their right mind would want to study at this time of day? Is he human? And so we sit in his pokey little office - an insomniac executive who obviously hates his wife and can\'t wait to leave home in the morning, and a teacher wearing the face of a man who has had no breakfast, too little sleep and no time for a decent bowel movement. By 10.00 in the morning I\'m exhausted.</p>\n<p>Friday is also&nbsp;workshop day. I love the word \'workshop\'. I\'m positive that it was brought into academic circles by radical feminists . . . simply because I blame them for everything else. The word workshop should be used to describe an environment of&nbsp;power tools&nbsp;and blokes in grimy overalls with pencils stuck behind their ear. But no - at our school it\'s the opportunity for the only teacher with an RSA certificate to stand up and bore us to death for two hours. Today\'s workshop is titled - &lsquo;Should we be overloading young learners with grammar rules?\'. Last week\'s was just as exciting - \'Can we let students run wild with role-plays?\'</p>\n<p>The answer to both questions is obviously &lsquo;no\' so why do we need two hours to discuss it? Why don\'t we get it over with in five minutes and head down to Toi\'s bar for the happy hour? Oh I\'m sorry - it\'s called professional development. I knew I was missing the point somewhere.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Saturday</h3>\n<p>This weekend I\'ve been invited by a group of students to \'do Pattaya\'. There are actually two ways to do Pattaya - the Thai way and the farang way. The farang way is 48 hours of beer and go-go bars, the Thai way is 48 hours of Thai food, banana boats,&nbsp;playing guitar&nbsp;on the beach and&nbsp;paddling in the sea&nbsp;with all&nbsp;your clothes on. The Thai way is shit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>The following Sunday</h3>\n<p>I can\'t remember ever being happier than when we rolled into Ekkami bus station at 6pm on Sunday evening.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Monday after</h3>\n<p>Disaster strikes early. I\'m in the office of Khun Amarit, my three-times-a-week private student. He wants to cancel his lessons for a fortnight.</p>\n<p>\"I\'m going on a business trip to Rio De Janeiro \" he tells me.</p>\n<p>I can barely control my emotions as he delivers this crippling body blow. My bottom lip begins to quiver as I see a potential 8,000 baht a month&nbsp;disappear before my very eyes.</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t go Khun Amarit. Please don\'t go\"</p>\n<p>\"I beg your pardon\"</p>\n<p>\"Please don\'t go. Rio \'s crap. It\'s over-rated. The girls on the beach wobble with cellulite and homeless kids will pester you at every turn. Take my word for it - Rio sucks. Even that statue of the bloke with his arms out isn\'t as impressive as you think when you\'re close up\"</p>\n<p>\"But my company are sending me. It\'s the annual regional sales conference and I\'m the token Thai person\"</p>\n<p>By now Khun Amarit has walked to the other side of his spacious office to replenish his coffee cup while pulling me along by his trouser leg. I am also&nbsp;wailing hysterically.</p>\n<p>\"What am I going to do Khun Amarit! There\'s no bloody work out there!\"</p>\n<p>\"It\'s only two weeks. I\'ll be back before you know it\"</p>\n<p>\"How am I going to pay the rent?\" And then I immediately stop dribbling snot as an idea comes like a bolt from the blue. \"What about your daughter? You always say that you want her to study English\"</p>\n<p>\"But she\'s only 6&nbsp;months old\"</p>\n<p>\"So what Khun Amarit! Start &lsquo;em young\"</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tuesday after</h3>\n<p>This morning I\'m covering two writing classes for a colleague who has gone on a visa run to Penang. My thoughts are with him as I sit in the teacher\'s room looking over his lesson plan sheet. Right now, he\'ll be at Hat Yai station tucking into barbecued chicken on a skewer ( it\'s all you can eat when you travel by train in Thailand). He\'ll have no doubt had a restless night\'s sleep, tossing and turning to the pitch and roll of the railway carriage but you can guarantee that the last thing on his mind will be whether my substitution of his writing lessons goes smoothly or not.</p>\n<p>We have a system at the school where any teacher who goes on a visa run or buggers off to a tropical island for a month has to fill in a lesson substitution sheet. This invaluable piece of A4 size paper tells the substitution teacher the name and size of the class, the textbook to use, the page number to start on, and the work to cover. The theory is that the substitute teacher can just walk into the class unprepared, perhaps even a little pissed, turn to the lesson plan sheet and bingo - a blind man could teach the lesson - for all the notes and lesson plan have been carefully documented. Except today.</p>\n<p>Today there is just one short sentence written in the &lsquo;comments\' section. It simply says &lsquo;give them conversation, see you Monday\'. No page number, no instructions, no hint of what the class did in the last lesson - naff all. I am for want of a better expression - f*cked.</p>\n<p>The first class is an advanced writing class. I ask them what they\'ve been doing with their teacher over&nbsp;the past few weeks. Apparently Ajarn Mick (as the students call him) has spent most of the time telling the students about his favorite eating-places. In no particular order, The German beer-garden in Sukhumwit soi 7, the Rex Hotel coffee shop after 2.00am, in fact anywhere where you find hookers that haven\'t managed to snare a punter for the evening. I change the subject quickly; it\'s quite obvious that Mad Mick (as the teachers call him) has not spent much time on topic sentences and thesis statements.</p>\n<p>The class is in for a treat today. I\'m going to play them six pieces of music and I want them to let their imaginations run wild and write down what comes into their heads. Where are they? Who are they? What is the environment like? I start off with &lsquo;Mars\' from the Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. As the cymbals crash and the drums beat louder ever louder, I tell the class that I feel like a gladiator marching to the stadium. Today I\'m going to fight the most famous gladiator in the whole of Rome - a duel to the death. The crowd is cheering and mothers hold small children above their head so they can see their all-conquering hero. You get the idea.</p>\n<p>I give the class something a little more mellow - a nice Spanish guitar concerto by John Williams. When I listen to it, it evokes images of hot passionate Senoritas. I can almost smell the camp-fires burning in the&nbsp;forests of deepest Cataluna and I can almost smell the paella&nbsp;steeped in olive oil and brimming with freshly caught mussels and squid. When I ask the class of 7 students what is brought to mind by the beautiful flamenco music, four of them&nbsp;tell me&nbsp;it reminds them of window-shopping in the department store, two of them can\'t think of anything to save their lives, and one has fallen asleep.</p>\n<p>I decide to abandon the music lesson and get the students to ask me questions about my family (it never works but we keep trying). One of the students asks if my grandmother is still alive, to which I reply that she died about 15 years ago. After a slight pause, I decide to add a supplementary comment -&nbsp;&lsquo;she\'s still a good shag though\'.</p>\n<p>I\'m only joking. I didn\'t really say that. But I would have loved to. Anything, positively anything to just get one spark of reaction from that class. Just for me to see one inquisitive tilt of the head, one furrowed brow or one look of sheer horror and it would have been worth it.</p>\n<p>The second writing class is a&nbsp;lower level one so I decide to set them something less taxing. The instructions are simple - draw a plan of your home or apartment and write a spatial description composition based on that diagram. The students set about the task with admirable enthusiasm. As I wander around looking at their efforts, it strikes me how many of the students live in&nbsp;luxurious houses&nbsp;and condominiums. There are servant\'s quarters, maid\'s rooms, fruit orchards, wrought iron gates, and driveways with ample parking. When they have finished, I hold up my own plan showing&nbsp;what you get for 5,000 baht a month. There\'s a bed, a wardrobe, a&nbsp;door that leads to the tiny bathroom and a balcony barely big enough to make an omelette&nbsp;on a single ring gas burner.&nbsp;The students fall silent. Eventually one plucks up the courage to speak. \"Teacher. Why did you leave your own country? That isn\'t living\"&nbsp; \n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Wednesday after</h3>\n<p>I wake up in that familiar state of mild panic - I forgot to go to the laundry yet again. Why is it that I can\'t organize my life into any kind of shape or routine? Why can\'t I eat three meals a day at the times my Mom suggested, and is it so difficult to make sure that there are always clean clothes hanging in the closet and my rent and bills get paid on time? I was never ever this disorganized when I lived with my parents. I swing my legs out of bed and go across to the linen basket (actually, it\'s a black bin-liner). I have one clean shirt - it used to be white but is now an insipid gray. In addition, it has a stain on the breast pocket, which is unmistakably chicken tikka masala. That stuff just never comes out.</p>\n<p>I look across at the devious Noi lying fast asleep under crumpled sheets and decide to give her a poke (a poke in the &lsquo;I need a shirt ironed\' sense you understand) She groans&nbsp;and goes back to dreaming about being let loose in a Las Vegas casino with unlimited spending money. I\'m going to have to iron the shirt myself. A quick glance at the clock tells me that I have exactly 40 minutes to iron a shirt, take a shower, do my hair and get to Mrs Sakomoto\'s apartment on Sukhumwit 39. Every minute has to count. It dawns on me that I have never had to iron a shirt before - my Mom never showed me.</p>\n<p>Eventually I\'m away out of the apartment - no lesson plan, late for the lesson anyway, and a crap shirt. The insecurity guard wants to talk with me&nbsp;about last night\'s football but I\'ve no time to offer opinions.&nbsp;My soi&nbsp;is bumper to bumper traffic&nbsp;- total gridlock. I approach the loathsome gaggle of motorcycle taxi drivers on the corner of my sub-soi. I only ever use them in emergencies. And today is an emergency.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\"I apologize for disturbing your game of bottle-top checkers but could one of you fine gentleman ferry me from here to Sukhumwit 39 for forty baht and a song?\" The most aggressive member of the group removes his sunglasses and&nbsp;there\'s a sharp intake of breath. \"80 baht - take or leave \" I realize that negotiation is out of the question. The traffic is getting heavier by the second and Mrs Sakamoto will by now be&nbsp;busy arranging a pen and notebook on the living room table. I reluctantly accept fatboy\'s extortionate offer. When I get to Mrs Sakamoto\'s palace in the sky, I\'m still fifteen minutes late. She then spends the next hour wrestling with the simple present tense, and all the while she\'s trying to work out what kind of stain that could possibly&nbsp;be on my&nbsp;shirt pocket.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Thursday after</h3>\n<p>Today yet again, I get into another argument with the Thai staff. This time it\'s over the distribution of board markers. One of the&nbsp;Thai admin staff&nbsp;is in charge of making sure that no teacher exceeds their allowance of three new board markers per month. Woe betide the teacher who dares to ask for a fourth new board marker! His name shall be blackened in the grim recesses of the teacher\'s room for all eternity. He shall be reminded that the items in question are&nbsp;20 baht each&nbsp;and under no circumstances should they be used&nbsp;so frivolously. But I need something to write on the board with and my lesson starts in five minutes.&nbsp;I blow my top and ask &lsquo;marker pen girl\' why she isn\'t as protective with her virginity as she is with the marker pens. After a moment\'s silence, I go off to my lesson and marker pen girl locks herself in the toilet to have a good cry.</p>\n<p>Later that day, I\'m called into the director\'s office. \"Take a seat,\" he says</p>\n<p>\"Where do you want me to take it?\" I reply.</p>\n<p>I can see he\'s in no mood for jokes. \"Jim, the Thai staff are frightened of you\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh come on, they know what I\'m like. I don\'t really mean it\"</p>\n<p>\"Jim, the one receptionist is still locked in the toilet. She refuses to come out. What\'s her name? You know - the one that\'s in charge of the board markers\"</p>\n<p>\"That was just something out of nothing\"</p>\n<p>\"Jim, you\'re a fine teacher. You\'re one of the best we\'ve got. You\'re a professional and we\'re happy to have you on board. But you need to show a little more cultural sensitivity where the Thai staff are concerned. They are people Jim. People. Even the girl who\'s employed to polish the leaves on the indoor plants and make sure no one runs out of paper-clips. She\'s a person Jim\"</p>\n<p>I\'m in no mood for this shit. \"The Thai staff just can\'t do their job properly. They forget to take messages, they screw up my pay and what\'s more - what is a teacher supposed to write with if he doesn\'t have a board marker?\"</p>\n<p>The director looks at me and flashes a half-smile.</p>\n<p>\"Just try to be a little more culturally sensitive, that\'s all I ask\"</p>\n<p>I&nbsp;storm out of&nbsp;his office. I don\'t need any of this. Not from that Thai management arse-kisser or anyone.&nbsp;Perhaps it\'s time for a change of direction? Perhaps I need to get out of teaching altogether. But what are my alternatives if I decide not to teach? I\'m not cut out for calling up gullible pensioners in Australia and conning them out of their life savings? That just isn\'t me. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Friday after</h3>\n<p>This morning there\'s a teachers\' meeting on the agenda. Twelve teachers, each with the weight of the world on their shoulders, sit around a table waiting for the arrival of the director of studies. In the middle of the table, there is a jug of iced water and the obligatory Dunkin\' Donuts party pack. I never look forward to teachers\' meetings, but when the one teacher I really don\'t get along with dips in and takes the double chocolate frosted, I look forward to them even less. Being the perfect gentleman, I let everyone else select their donut and find that I\'m left with the gayest donut in the box - the&nbsp;one&nbsp;covered in pink icing sugar.</p>\n<p>Eneter the academic director and today we are 13 professionals gathered in one room for the sole purpose of improving the standards of the school. There are over a dozen points to discuss, debate, analyze, and comment on. First point - apparently some teachers are not filling in their pedagogical cards correctly. I\'m not really bothered about that. I\'m only concerned as to why we can\'t refer to them as \'attendance sheets\'. Is it that the term &lsquo;attendance sheet\' isn\'t stuffy, overbearing and academic enough?</p>\n<p>The DOS drones on. \"When you prepare a lesson, don\'t forget your 3 P\'s - Production, Practice, and the other one\"</p>\n<p>I personally prefer to have two sections in a lesson plan - what I\'m going to teach, and what they\'re going to learn. It\'s really that simple.</p>\n<p>I can\'t be bothered to listen to the rest of the meeting. I don\'t think anyone can. Today is payday. I pick up 34, 652 baht after tax deductions and a contribution to the school health insurance scheme. This is what makes the job worthwhile. It\'s Friday night, your wallet\'s stuffed with Thai baht, and the world\'s your oyster. Come 9pm I\'m sitting in an outside bar at&nbsp;The Pleasure&nbsp;Plaza surrounded by ladies. And in front of them are lady drinks. Tonight I\'m not a teacher, I\'m a smoldering Latin lover. The girls are laughing hysterically at my crappy jokes and my&nbsp;appalling Thai and I sit there taking it all in and extracting a steady stream of 500 baht notes from my wallet. Tomorrow\'s another day. Live for the moment.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Saturday after</h3>\n<p>I\'ve volunteered to do a few extra classes. A little bit of overtime if you like. Six hours of kid\'s classes. Six hours of \'Incey Wincey Spider climbed a little spout\' and \'I\'m a little teapot short and stout\'&nbsp; Six hours of babysitting while their mothers go off and do evil things with their husbands\' platinum credit cards.</p>\n<p>On the journey to work by sky-train, I sit opposite a young man preparing a lesson in full view of the commuting massive. He scribbles notes on a jotter pad while the cover of his Interchange 2 textbook flaps around for all to see.</p>\n<p>When the train stops at Ekkami, an executive gets on board and there is&nbsp;the unmistakable waft of&nbsp;expensive after-shave.&nbsp;He sits down next to me to take the weight off his suit. No sooner has he sat down than his mobile phone goes off. The phone is tiny and expensive - and you can barely see it when it\'s pressed against&nbsp;his ear. There begins a protracted conversation, which contains loud references to &lsquo;closing down the Stockholm office\' and &lsquo;getting Ludwig to meet the client at the Sheraton on Monday\'.</p>\n<p>The teacher puts his lesson preparation to one side and listens to the&nbsp;businessman\'s conversation. When the phone call is finished, the teacher and executive look at each other. They each have only one question on their minds -&nbsp;&lsquo;What\'s it like being you?\'</p>\n<hr />','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/tdiary.jpg','2011-07-04 04:26:38',1,'2011-07-04 04:26:38','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(2675,55,'First aid in the classroom','first-aid-in-the-classroom','One day you could find yourself in a position to save a student\'s life','How many teachers could save a child from sure death if that child were to go into an epileptic fit, or anaphylactic shock?

Do you even know what those words mean outside of a dictionary definition?\n<p>How about sudden acute vomiting or what is the treatment for sudden choking? Many of the most serious situations for children, unfortunately and more than likely the majority of teachers do not have a clue as to how to treat or what to do until a trained medical professional arrives.</p>\n<p>I certainly don\'t, besides some vague recollections of splints from Boy Scouts some 30 plus years ago.</p>\n<p>This October, TEN was treated to a magical tour of first aid that was eye opening and took the mystery out of many potential hazards for our students.</p>\n<p>Chayada Klinpongsa, International Affairs Coordinator of Samitivej Srinakarin Hospital, a respected and experienced nurse, led the assembled faculty, staff and administrators of TEN on a practical guide to first aid in the classroom.</p>\n<p>She started by explaining many of the &lsquo;first aid\' misconceptions quite common with the public. Then, she went on to give us an understanding of what blood pressure means. Does anyone really know if 120 over 85 is good or bad?</p>\n<p>She showed us how to perform a Heimlich maneuver without breaking someone\'s ribs. I didn\'t even know that was possible, but evidently it is quite common for the untrained person to do.</p>\n<p>One thing that stood out in my mind was her explanation of cardiac arrest and how it must be treated: ABC</p>\n<p>Airway - open and clear<br />Breathing - make sure it\'s happening<br />Circulation - check</p>\n<p>When someone is in cardiac arrest the first thing to do is make sure their airway is clear and ask them if they are ok. Then call an EMS technician. Follow this by checking their breathing; look, listen, &amp; feel, and lastly check their circulation.</p>\n<p>Nurse Chayada went on to explain the various possible challenges that could face an educator in the classroom. We should call an ambulance when faced with</p>\n<p>&bull; A high fever above 40 Celsius<br />&bull; Convulsions and/or spasms<br />&bull; Severe headache/blurred vision<br />&bull; Severe stomach ache/severe diarrhea<br />&bull; Chest pain/difficulty in breathing<br />&bull; Unconsciousness/shock/semi-consciousness</p>\n<p>How many of us know the above treatment for cardiac arrest? I\'ve looked for statistics on first aid training and teachers, but have been unable to find anything. I\'m fairly adept at finding odd bits of info as well. How many teachers are actually trained in first aid? It boggles the mind and I had never really thought about it before this month.</p>\n<p>The vast majority of us teach children. We take care of their mental capacity to think, deal with their emotional ups and down, and guide them to make valid choices in life. However, when it comes to the likelihood of being able to be there in their greatest time of need, we are sadly out to lunch.</p>\n<p>I can\'t talk for anyone else, but after this month\'s TEN, I would feel criminally negligent if I did not get more information and/or training in first aid prior to going back into the classroom.</p>\n<p>It doesn\'t take that much time and we could save a life. Anyone of us could go through the rest of our life knowing we had saved the most precious of things in the universe; someone\'s child, our student.</p>\n<p>If you would like a CPR class at your school, Samitivej Hospital can provide one. The Thai Red Cross Society also provides first aid courses.</p>\n<p>What I came away with from this month\'s Ten is an awareness of just what fragile creatures we really are.</p>\n</p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"mailto:porntip@samitivej.co.th\">contact Khun Porntip</a> or check out the <a href=\"http://www.samitivejhospitals.com/\">Samitivej website</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<h3>Upcoming Events</h3>\n<p>► Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) <br />Thailand Educators Network Event<br />Nadha Vikitsreth<br />Systainability Asia and AtKisson Group<br />Wednesday, 10 November - 18.00-20.30</p>\n<p>► More and more, we are being confronted by today\'s global challenges whether it\'d be poverty, starvation, or the ever-looming threats of climate change.

topics for me which are of great importance<br />May sound uninteresting at your very first glance<br />But when fully scrutinized by two or by anyone<br />It will surely be appreciated when given a chance.</p>\n<p>Reflective teaching is one topic I know<br />Student empowerment is included too<br />Authentic language is the third thing to show<br />Lowering students\' affective learning filters is good for you.</p>\n<p><strong>Reflective Teaching</strong></p>\n<p>Reflective teaching ought to be done by everyone<br />It\'ll make a teacher very effective and not a lousy one<br />Unreflected teaching is aptly and clearly compared<br />To a lesson just merely taught without being evaluated.</p>\n<p>What the teacher does here is just to ponder<br />On what is taught and take notice of all the results<br />If things turned out well or not in the lesson as expected<br />From the objectives the teacher has carefully formulated.</p>\n<p>Each day the teacher pauses for a while<br />Writes the feedback in the most treasured file<br />Works on the salient points the next teaching session<br />And makes it as the great day\'s teaching mission.</p>\n<p>The best of teachers never fail to do this<br />While the mediocre ones only work with ease<br />But once this is practiced by one and all<br />We\'ll surely find that teaching is not a burden after all.</p>\n<p><strong>Student Empowerment</strong></p>\n<p>Student empowerment is somewhat new<br />For it breaks the practice that teachers usually do<br />It makes students feel great as learners<br />Giving them recognition and importance as leaders.</p>\n<p>This could be done by making the students act as teachers<br />Letting students help classmates in the teacher\'s place <br />Leading the class in group work activities and many other things <br />Showing full confidence and getting the teacher\'s trust.</p>\n<p>Leadership is developed in this particular aspect<br />Boosting self-worth, confidence, and self-respect<br />Teachers serving merely as facilitators or standing at the background<br />Certainly making students responsible though absurd it may sound.</p>\n<p>Next time when we spot students with potential<br />Turn them into leaders for it\'s so essential<br />This paves the way to the right development they need<br />Making young learners already feel on how to successfully lead.</p>\n<p><strong>Authentic Language</strong></p>\n<p>When asking, \"What\'s your name?\"<br />It\'s more authentic to answer, \"Ben.\"<br />&lsquo;Cause when you go to the real world<br />\"My name is Ben is only good.\"</p>\n<p>Authentic language is ought to be spoken<br />By all the students if I\'m not mistaken<br />Classroom language just like \"I\'m 10 years old.<br />Is not smartly said, unlike \" 10\".</p>\n<p>One good thing about authentic language<br />Is that it\'s not difficult to engage<br />For answers are brief and with advantage<br />Over long sentences that are redundantly said.</p>\n<p>After all when we\'re outside the classroom<br />Authentic language is always being used<br />So we might as well teach authentic language <br />In making our students, confident, smart and have the edge.</p>\n<p><strong>Lowering Students\' Affective Learning Filters</strong></p>\n<p>Learning another language is quite an ordeal<br />For students who study ESL or EFL<br />Acquiring competency will present great difficulty<br />Without lowering their affective learning filters right away.</p>\n<p>So how should ideal language teaching be?<br />If you ask me with all sincerity<br />The answer to that is to make things very easy<br />So that everyone can understand the lesson with glee.</p>\n<p>Activities should be within students\' realm of experience<br />Background knowledge of the concept learned is considered without offense<br />Lessons are presented holistically and not in isolation<br />Vocabulary are learned through context and placed in a situation.</p>\n<p>Once the emotional learning difficulties are lowered<br />Language acquisition is expedited<br />And in a span of time students will become confident learners<br />No more hesitant, no more adamant, but effective speakers.</p>\n</p>','','2010-10-29 04:12:54',1,'2010-10-29 04:12:54','2010-10-29 18:06:55'),(2716,58,'My October highs and lows','my-october-highs-and-lows','Or perhaps

Politely and in the nicest possible terms these people can be referred to independent agents or freelancers.','<p>Even when setting out to write this blog I am in two minds if I am doing the right thing. On one hand I want to convey a message from one group of professionals to another, and to warn people entering the Thai property market for the first time, or their umpteenth time, of a few pitfalls to watch out for. On the other hand I can see how this blog may be construed as a bitter man ranting....I assure you it is not the second, and I will try my best to avoid appearing as such.\n<p>In the last few years, I am sure you have noticed if you are resident of central Bangkok that there has been massive growth in the number of condos, apartments, serviced apartments and even hotels that have been built or are under construction. There really is no getting away from the fact that whilst the West is undergoing its biggest recession since the 1930\'s and the housing market is in a coma, Thailand is bounding along, building 10 000\'s of residential units in and around Bangkok. However as any shrewd investor knows, not all these units are equally as valuable and anyone investing in this market needs to hand-pick which properties are worth the money, which properties will retain their value and which properties will indeed become a worthy asset in the future.</p>\n<p>With&nbsp;thousands of condo units to pick from in literally thousands of new condominium blocks, it can look a daunting task, and on first glance, it looks pretty much the same. I mean if you are going to invest in a location like say Phrom Phong, why not just choose the cheapest building in that area, or even better just choose the cheapest unit per square meter in a building that on paper offers the facilities and amenities you are looking for? Well this would be one way to go about it. But it would be far from the shrewdest way.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately with any market that is fast developing, there is always the &lsquo;me-too\' factor, and any expat that has lived in Thailand for a number of years will be able to testify to how much Thailand is a breeding ground for &lsquo;me-too\' entrants to any market. Does anyone remember the snooker fad when James Wattana was&nbsp;the national hero, or Paradon with tennis. Or perhaps the Green Tea phase, where suddenly everything needed extract of green tea in it. Or the coffee phase which still seems to be holding on (however I have seem some of the coffee stalls retreating in some areas).</p>\n<p>What these fads demonstrate regardless of what market they are in is that suddenly a market becomes so flooded it is difficult to tell the chaff from the wheat. However as time draws on the lesser players retreat and the quality players remain. Now what has all this got to do with real estate?</p>\n<p>Well if you happen to buy a coffee from one of the stalls that sells an undesirable poor product, you will know not to waste 40 Baht at that place again. However if you have bought a property from a developer who has entered the market as a &lsquo;me-too\' player, you are going to be decidedly more angry when you realize the property you have just spent a few million Thai Baht on (or even borrowed) suddenly is not living up the expectations that the&nbsp;sales person gave you. And perhaps as the months and years progress you see that the maintenance of the building, the building materials and general quality of the structure is not what you hoped for.</p>\n<p>This is why it is always important to research the market before you make a purchase. None of us can expect to be experts in all fields and so it is important to consult someone who is, like a reputable real estate agent with experience and pedigree in the field.</p>\n<p>This also applies when you are looking to rent a property in Thailand. Again as in the above examples there are reputable and quality players in the Thai real estate markets, but there are also many &lsquo;me-too\' entrants. Politely and in the nicest possible terms these people can be referred to independent agents or freelancers. However judging from some of the stories we have heard they can be charlatans or even scam artists.</p>\n<p>If you are looking to rent in Bangkok or anywhere in Thailand, we always recommend you use a reputable and experienced real estate agency. In a previous blog I have outlined some of the <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/advantages-of-using-a-real-estate-agent-to-find-you-a-property-in-bangkok/\">reasons we advise this</a>&nbsp; However what we never advise is that you opt to find a property with a freelancer, a &lsquo;me-too\' player in the market.</p>\n<p>Freelance operators are often found advertising on websites with free on-line classified adverts, such as craigslist.com. Although it is true that many reputable property agents may use this form of advertising, it is much easier to spot if they are reputable as they will link to their official website where you will find details of their legally registered company. All this gives you an introduction into the peace of mind needed when you are entering into the property market.</p>\n<p>We have heard horror stories in regards to freelance agents, such as not turning up for meetings, disappearing when a problem arises, giving false names, changing their telephone numbers regularly and their web based email addresses. In addition we have heard about them renting properties without the landlords knowledge or consent, and running off with deposits passed over to them in good faith by unsuspecting renters.</p>\n<p>In all the above it becomes almost impossible to find and locate a person who has given false information, contact details and even aliases. In contrast if you are dealing with a reputable tax registered company with a registered company address (as all companies must have), you have a fall back. And believe me no reputable company is going sully their reputation by trying to rip-off individual clients. These businesses are here to stay and their reputation means far more them then any singular amount of money or deal.</p>\n<p>So really although all the above is commonsense and obvious, it is still worthy of note. At the end of the day by using a reputable property agent you have peace of mind, weight on your side in any dispute with the landlord and access to a large amount of information from a person who cares about your self interests and their own reputation. With a freelance agent, a &lsquo;me-too\' player, you have none of these benefits and may be falling into a money pit!</p>\n<p><strong>Quick Tips on how to spot freelance agents:</strong></p>\n<p>1. Do they operate on a web based address e.g. @gmail, @hotmail etc?<br />2. Do they have a website with &lsquo;Contact Us\' details with an office number you can call (should be landline)?<br />3. Do they have a registered office you can visit if you need to?<br />4. Does their Business Card have registered Company address and an office number you can call I you need to check anything?</p>\n</p>','','2010-11-04 01:11:13',1,'2010-11-04 01:11:13','2010-11-04 15:03:14'),(2796,53,'The future of teaching in higher education','the-future-of-teaching-in-higher-education1','Temptations to make predictions about the future is irresistible.','Will the internet, and now mobile devices that one can use to access the web at any location at any time, fundamentally change the role of the teacher/professor in education?','<p>What does it mean to be a professor, or teacher, in this era when the world\'s knowledge is available at everyone\'s fingertips?Will the internet, and now mobile devices that one can use to access the web at any location at any time, fundamentally change the role of the teacher/professor in education? Will the model of one teacher/professor-one classroom which we have had for centuries still be the optimal one in this new era?</p>\n<p>It is believed primary and secondary education will retain the current model into the future as primary and secondary teachers play a dual role in society, teacher and babysitter. With the increase of two career (job) families and single parent families it would appear unlikely for societies to come up with a more cost effective method of supervising the children while the adults are off at work in the near future. So even if the classroom model is deemed to be less than optimal for learning purposes it is likely to remain to fill the secondary role of watching the children while the parents are working.</p>\n<p>Therefore it is not surprising we are seeing most of the technology driven major changes happening in higher/adult education.</p>\n<p>Will the notion of a \"degree\" be relevant in the future? Will we continue to see higher education being broken down into the current three tiers, bachelor, master, and doctoral, in the future? Is the system that was designed for the industrial age the system needed in the information age?</p>\n<p>We have already seen in the last 50 to 100 years the notion of most university degrees go from primary being a liberal education as a preparation for life to more or less training programs for preparation for jobs and careers. Not that I am complaining as I am a business professor and teach some of these \"training\" courses.</p>\n<p>What value does the teacher/professor add to the educational process when students can read from, listen to or watch world class professors anytime from anyplace they want?</p>\n<p>We have seen an explosion of educational material available. For example, one can go to Youtube (those of you in countries where it is not blocked) and watch world renowned experts give lectures on innumerable topics.</p>\n<p>Also many universities (including Stanford and Cal-Berkeley) have some lectures from their courses podcasted and the students have the option of either attending the lectures or downloading the lectures and listen to them any time and place when it is convenient. I have \"attended\" a number of courses from Cal-Berkeley myself, including one on the history of ancient Rome and another on globalization, while living in Southeast Asia.</p>\n<p>Being a business professor myself, the logical cost-saving next step would seem to remove the option of attending the lecture and make the podcasts mandatory. This would eliminate the need for expensive maintenance of expensive lecture halls. And of course a smart entrepreneur could take this even farther. Why bother to hire your own professors, instead why not just use the podcasts or other material from the top universities and use standardized tests which can be electronically graded? A university with no teachers/professors? Is that possible?</p>\n<p>We have also seen online education becoming more popular. I have both attended and taught online. In fact, in one course for an American university I gave real-time \"lectures\" from four different countries to my students. I have also taught MBA courses with students who are physically in four different continents. More and more education is now taking place outside the traditional model of the teacher/professor and students being physically in the same location.</p>\n<p>However, before declaring the end to the classroom model as the main form of education, the resilience of the model should be acknowledged. In ancient times before the availability of the mass-printed books, information had to primarily be passed from person to person, teacher to student. However, with the availability of books, information could be shared across both time and location, yet the student-teacher/professor in the classroom model survived. What did and does the teacher/professor add to the information from the books the students read (or are supposed to read)? The classroom model has also survived the invention of radio, TV, and video tape, all which, at least in theory, could have supplied all the learning material a student needs and thus eliminating the need for individual teachers/professors.</p>\n<p>In fact I took a teacher-less course back in the 80s while in the military. The US Navy designed a course in basic electricity and electronics which was used as a core course for a number of occupational specialties before going on the more advanced training. Students studied individually and without supervision and decided for themselves when they were ready for each test for each individual unit. The computer created an approximate timeline and deadline for completion of the course for each student based on the individual\'s aptitude test scores. At first the course was completely without any instructor, but later it was decided there needed to be a teacher that students could go to individually for guidance. The model didn\'t appear to work well and the failure rate for students was quite high.</p>\n<p>But the question remains were the problems with the system or the students? As students, my generation was conditioned towards more passive learning following the lead and instructions of a teacher. Can the new generation be conditioned to take more responsibility for their own learning which could eliminate the need for an actual teacher/professor in the educational process?</p>\n<p>This article has more questions than answers, but the temptation to make predictions about the future is irresistible.</p>\n<p>The teacher/professor-student model has shown its value and flexibility and it is predicted there will continue to be a need for teachers/professors, but the roles teachers/professors play might change considerably.</p>\n<p>Traditionally the teacher was the \"master\" who a student went to for expertise and guidance. In the future students might be expected to take more charge of their own learning and will not have to follow the lead of the teacher/professor. The teacher/professor will take on more of the role of a coach and as a gate keeper to ensure educational goals are met. More like the traditional role of a PhD dissertation advisor, but this will become more common at the undergraduate and master\'s levels as well.</p>\n<p>I see a move away from the lecture form of higher education to one of more independent study, where students will have more freedom to explore issues of interest to their specific career goals and there will be less standardization. The teacher/professor\'s primary role will no longer be that of a content expert, but as a facilitator/coach who encourages students in their development and as a gate-keeper who ensures the standards of the university or institute of higher learning who grants degrees or certifies education are met. In this new role, physical separation between students and teachers will not be a major obstacle. One does not have to be in the same country or continent to grade assignments or give advice.</p>\n<p>But, without a crystal ball the only way to see if there will or will not be major changes in the manner in which adults receive an education will be to stick around and see for oneself.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2010-11-07 18:37:22',1,'2010-11-07 18:37:22','2010-11-08 08:08:23'),(2874,20,'Do students in private language schools have the right to choose who teaches them?','do-students-in-private-language-schools-have-the-right-to-choose-who-teache','Should the most popular teacher get the largest share of the work?','The student was not happy with this arrangement and asked the manager why I could not teach her.

Here is the e-mail.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>I taught a student for&nbsp;a two-hour lesson at&nbsp;a language school in Bangkapi. The student was very happy with my lesson &nbsp;and asked if I would continue teaching her for the remainder of her thirty-hour&nbsp;course. I said I would be&nbsp;delighted and we agreed that providing there was a classroom available, I would teach her the following day.</em></p>\n<p><em>When the lesson was finished the&nbsp;student told the receptionist that she wanted to&nbsp;study with me from that point on.&nbsp;The receptionist didn\'t envisage a problem and&nbsp;said she would pass the students\' request onto the&nbsp;language&nbsp;school&nbsp;manager.&nbsp;Later the same evening, the manager&nbsp;called the student and said that she did not want the student to learn with me, but had arranged for the student to learn with another teacher. Naturally, the student was not happy with this arrangement and asked the manager&nbsp;why I could not teach her. The manager replied, \'You learn with who I choose, not who you want. And I have chosen the other teacher.\'</em></p>\n<p><em>The manager&nbsp;also&nbsp;told the student that she had forgotten to&nbsp;call me and tell me about the class and by then,&nbsp;it was too late. The student&nbsp;called me the next day and asked if I wanted to teach her and said yes. I then asked her what had happened and she told me the story of the previous evenings phone call with the manager. The student had paid 25,000 baht for a thirty hour&nbsp;private course. She has not received any books or paperwork from the school and was charged 800 baht for documentation plus 100 baht for an assessment test, which to the best of my knowledge should be given free.</em></p>\n<p>Hi Brian. Firstly the figures and charges mentioned&nbsp;at the end of your&nbsp;e-mail are pure opinion. I think every language school I ever&nbsp;worked at charged a test fee. That fee was generally&nbsp;waived if&nbsp;the student&nbsp;decided to enrol on a course but I see nothing wrong in a school charging something. A test has to be administered and a vacant classroom or test area&nbsp;has to be provided. And that costs money! 800 baht for what I assume is a registration fee sounds a bit steep but I can certainly imagine higher end private language&nbsp;schools charging something in that ball-park.</p>\n<p>However that wasn\'t the main point of your communication, and yes,&nbsp;I sympathize with the problems you have&nbsp;faced. It\'s amazing that even in these uncertain times of economic recession, there are school managers who see their role as one big power trip and forget that time-honored adage - the customer is always right. I worked for one such school manager myself&nbsp;some years ago and one day, after one argument too many, I told her straight - \"you\'re a person who&nbsp;would&nbsp;rather be right than rich\". And the penny finally dropped.</p>\n<p>The manager at your school is on a power trip. That\'s what this is all about.</p>\n<p>Back to your main question though - do students at private language centres&nbsp;have the right to choose who teaches them?\" My answer - of course they do. Private language schools are a business. The students keep the money rolling in. The last thing a school wants is a teacher who is so unpopular that no one wants to study with&nbsp;them. What are the students going to do? I\'ll tell you. They vote with their feet and go elsewhere.</p>\n<p>There\'s no doubt about it. A popular teacher is always good for business!</p>\n<p>I worked at several schools where the admin staff would&nbsp;sometimes hand out questionnaires to paying students and have them score each teacher for personality, effectiveness, appearance, etc. Fortunately I used to&nbsp;score well in these surveys but I still enjoyed a moan about&nbsp;what I felt was the unfairness of the system.

One day in an Anuban class the teacher was amused by a smart guy.</p>\n<p>Teacher: What\'s your name?<br />Student: (The student answers curiously) Teacher?<br />Teacher: Teacher, what? <br />Student: Teacher, why do you always ask my name? <br />You know me already, right?</p>\n<p>2.A student is doing a complicated paper folding object.</p>\n<p>Teacher:: Pakinai, I\'ll give you this sticker if you teach me how to do it.<br />Student: Okay, Teacher. Here\'s a paper.. Do this, and this, and this and this.<br />Teacher: (After some time) I can\'t follow you.<br />Student: Come on, Teacher. Do this, and this, and this.<br />Teacher: I give up, Pakinai. Here\'s your sticker.<br />Student: Never mind teacher. I\'ll not take the sticker. Anyway, you didn\'t learn from me.</p>\n<p>3. A teacher was teaching a song\" Left and Right, Forward and Back\"<br />To start the lesson, the teacher asked.</p>\n<p>Teacher: What&lsquo;s this? (Teacher raising the left hand to the left side)<br />Students - Left.<br />Teacher: Very good.<br />Teacher: This one.

But this is what happens when job sites steal ads from another job site. ','<p>This morning we received the following e-mail from a company who had recently advertised a position on ajarndotcom.</p>\n<p><em>Hi Ajarndotcom team, thank you very much for removing our job ad several days ago after the teaching position was filled. However, we are still continuing to get applications from teachers despite the fact there is no longer a position available.

The only job ads we put on-line are ones that are sent directly to us.</strong></p>\n<h3>Content theft</h3>\n<p>We get quite a few e-mails of this nature and we are fully&nbsp;aware that there are several TEFL&nbsp;websites - some Thailand-based and others not - that copy and paste job ads from ajarndotcom on a regular, sometimes daily basis.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And we know these&nbsp;jobs have come from ajarn.com because if we make our own corrections to the job ad text and that exact same text appears on another site, it could only have come from one source - ajarndotcom&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Competition</h3>\n<p>Before we analyze the problems caused, we have nothing against&nbsp;anyone setting up a Thailand TEFL job&nbsp;website and perhaps trying to supplement their income with revenue from Google Adwords or whatever.</p>\n<p>There\'s no reason why ajarndotcom should have a monopoly on this particular business and competition is always healthy. But it has to be a level playing field. Let\'s go back to the e-mail above and look at the consequences of the situation.</p>\n<p><strong>Firstly, the advertiser is angry</strong>. They have sent a job ad to just one website. The position has been filled. They have asked the website to remove the job ad because they no longer want to receive any applications. But they continue to receive applications for a position that does not exist.</p>\n<p><strong>Secondly, the teachers are angry.</strong> Is there anything more frustrating than applying for a teaching position that has already been taken? This would not happen if people did business the right way and only posted job ads that are sent to them directly.</p>\n<p><strong>Thirdly, &nbsp;a school will sometimes post a job ad</strong> and realise that they have made a mistake in the job description. Perhaps the&nbsp;advertiser hasn\'t chosen the correct salary or stated the correct working hours. These mistakes are often not&nbsp;discovered&nbsp;until&nbsp;two or three days after the&nbsp;job ad goes on-line.</p>\n<p>What happens then is that the school will contact us to&nbsp;correct the job ad.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But what about the TEFL website who has copied and pasted the job ad to put on their own site?</p>\n<p>Well, there are now two job ads for the same school&nbsp;in circulation - the correct edited version (which is showing on ajarndotcom) and the incorrect version (which is showing on other sites)</p>\n<p>Advertisers have no idea where their job ad now appears other than on ajarndotcom - and indeed why should they? To their knowledge, they have&nbsp;only posted the job ad on one site and if there is a problem, it\'s ajarndotcom who has to put it right.</p>\n<p>None of this would happen if people did business the right way.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/jobs.jpg','2015-03-06 01:18:09',1,'2015-03-06 01:18:09','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(3069,55,'Thinking sustainability','thinking-sustainability','Making students aware of the world around them','The core aim of the Compass Education program is to help students examine and come to understand key questions and concepts centred around who we are; where we are in place and time; how we express ourselves; how the world works; how we organize ourselves; and finally how we can go about sharing the planet.','<p>Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) was TEN\'s topic on Wednesday, 8 November 2010 when Nadha Vikitsreth from Systainability Asia and AtKisson Group, led us into the growing field of sustainability education in classrooms around the world.\n<p>Beginning her talk on a very sobering theme, Khun Nadha commented on how more and more, we are being confronted daily by global challenges whether it is poverty, starvation or ever-looming threats of climate change.</p>\n<p>Something, she continued, needs to be done in reply, in particular with the young to encourage them to think about environmental challenges and sustainability, which she defined as, &lsquo;living a quality life in such a way that people in the next generations can enjoy the same privilege.\'</p>\n<p>Nadha then described the Compass framework and how Compass Education helps to deepen understanding of environmental issues by making current concerns and hot topics relevant, meaningful, as well as being a door to further inquiry by students.</p>\n<p>The core aim of the Compass Education program is to help students examine and come to understand key questions and concepts centred around who we are; where we are in place and time; how we express ourselves; how the world works; how we organize ourselves; and finally how we can go about sharing the planet.</p>\n<p>To do this in a concrete and easy to approach, adapt and adopt student-centred approach, the compass and its four major points are employed to represent four key concepts.</p>\n<p>The North represents Nature and the goal to be both environmentally healthy and responsible.</p>\n<p>Offering a concrete idea, Nadha suggested one related &lsquo;North question\' would be whether it is possible for humans to be friends with other creatures, such as trees and animals, and how would it benefit them and us.</p>\n<p>Moving, East, the Economy becomes the focus with the underlying idea or need to be economically responsible and viable with concrete questions aimed at students and their parents\' livelihood.</p>\n<p>Society is in the South reflected in social responsibility and involvement and involved.

It didn’t take long after arriving in China to realize that I wasn’t in Kansas anymore','<p>Although home remains in Thailand, the lack of adequately-paid employment opportunities in the LOS and a son in university and a daughter planning on going to university in the USA next year have encouraged me to go off for a few years to seek employment with slightly higher wages in order to pay for the children\'s tuitions, pay off some of my own student loans, and maybe even to put away a Baht or two for retirement.\n<p>While many in my shoes go off to the Middle East, I first went to Vietnam and then I found a gig in China working as a visiting professor for an American university operating in this country. It didn\'t take long after arriving in China to realize that I wasn\'t in Kansas anymore, or Bangkapi for that matter.</p>\n<p>So I have decided to give a few impressions of China. Of course writing about a topic as wide and diverse as the most populous country on the planet is bound to be incomplete, inaccurate for the most part and not applicable to the vast majority of the people or places in the country. Also I will try not to make judgmental comparisons of China with Thailand or other countries, as good, bed, better, and worse are strictly subjective terms and I have no reason to believe my judgments of other cultures are more appropriate or accurate than those of others.</p>\n<h3>Universities</h3>\n<p>My experience as a teacher is limited to a single university although I have had the opportunity to visit as a guest a few other universities. For the most part, university life for the students appears to be somewhat similar to what is found in the USA with students often living in dormitories on campus, unlike in Thailand where most student would appear to live off campus or with their parents, although the number of students per dorm room can be extraordinarily high. Undergraduate students are normally, like in Thailand, young and just out of high school and there doesn\'t seem to be a lot of adults going back to school to get a degree, at least for an undergraduate degree while there does appear to be a good number of slightly older students working on their MBAs. In general, students are friendly and respectful (not much different than any other country I have worked in) however the attendance of my Chinese students has been much higher than in other countries I have taught in.</p>\n<h3>Lack of foreigners and use of English</h3>\n<p>While Shanghai, Beijing and other large costal cities might be quite international in nature, this is not true in the interior of the country where I have stayed and traveled. I have traveled to cities with populations in the multi-millions such as Zhengzhou (Over 7 million) and Wuhan (over 9 million) and have gone hours or even days in these places without seeing another western face, even in the downtown areas and tourist attractions. Also while one occasionally finds signs in English, it can not be counted on. On occasion while out and about there has been someone in the crowd who could speak some English and who has intervened to help me when it was obvious I wasn\'t getting my message across, but there have been more times in this type of situation no one who could speak English could be found. In general one finds fewer people who speak English in the interior of China than one would in a country with more tourists such as Thailand. This is not a complaint about the country or its people (it would be arrogant to complain about people not speaking my native language in their own country), just an observation, and I am finding learning Chinese to be significantly more difficult than learning Thai.</p>\n<h3>Traveling around</h3>\n<p>China has a great rail system and traveling around can be done on the cheap, but signs are usually not in English and finding someone who speaks English working or at the train stations can be a challenge. In the small town I live in (it is considered a small rural town in China as the population is only around 900,000), it is rare to find service employees in the hotels, restaurants or stores who can speak even the most elementary English. And it has been found the Chinese are not used to hearing foreigners attempt to speak rudimentary Chinese, therefore my attempts to speak a few words in Mandarin Chinese (in the wrong tones and dialect I am sure) have not resulted in greatly improving the communication process.</p>\n<p>There is saying in the ex-pat community that goes, \"in China, everything is possible but nothing is easy,\" and I have found this to be accurate when trying to travel around the country without adequate Chinese language skills. Foreign tourism outside of a few major areas is not much of a business here, therefore while traveling alone around the interior of the country by train is possible for a seasoned old hand, it might be a daunting experience for someone new to living and working in Asia. On the other hand, due to the length of Chinese civilization nearly ever town or city has an abundance of sights with cultural or historical significance making most travel worth the difficulties. Taxis are widely available in the mid to larger cities and are quite reasonable while riding the local buses due to being overcrowded, and often being driven over roads that appear to be in a constant state of repair or expansion, would only be advised for the most adventurous of travelers.</p>\n<h3>Political systems</h3>\n<p>Of course everyone realizes China has a different political system than do western countries, but in all honesty, the only reason I know of the differences is from what I have read and not what I have observed. I teach subjects that deal with issues, including economics, and business ethics, that can be controversial from time to time. However I have never had any pressures to adapt my courses or teachings for local sensitivities. On the surface censorship appears to be a major part of life in China, as evidenced by the banning of the use of Facebook and Youtube, while at the same time it is an open secret that the government will turn a blind eye if an individual gets a VPN to get around these official restrictions.</p>\n<p>Freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the US constitution is not available in China, on the other hand calling it a police state that allows no dissent, would not be accurate either. I have had numerous conversations with Chinese citizens who felt free to criticize their government and I have no trouble reading about Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese dissident who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, on the internet while in the country. I do not agree with every policy of the Chinese government (nor do I agree with every policy of my own government), but for most people, unless one makes it one\'s life work to criticize the government, there are no real worries about running afoul of the Chinese authorities. This is not a defense of the imprisonment of individuals who do make it their life\'s work to criticize the government, just an impression that the average traveler, ex-pat worker or ESL teacher has little to worry about from the authorities, at least due to political or religious viewpoints that differ with those of the Chinese government.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Being in China has been an interesting experience, and while I am a newbie here, I thought a few first impressions of the country might be of interest. If that old wanderlust sets in, I wouldn\'t automatically check China off the list of places to travel to or work in.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2010-12-06 16:59:34',1,'2010-12-06 16:59:34','2018-04-15 03:03:19'),(3073,52,'December 2010','december-2010','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers.','Fancy taking your TEFL course in Thailand?

While some of the writing showed &lsquo;glimmers of hope\', at least in my eyes, many of the opinions my students shared unfortunately matched the biased, ignorant, and bigoted statements made incessantly by many Thai adults.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I love my students. And through my writing assignments I strive to &lsquo;get into their heads\'; &lsquo;to probe the deep and dark recesses of their minds\'; and yes, &lsquo;to touch their hearts\' along the way. No \"What is your favorite color?\" and \"Do you like pizza?\" in my classes. My reading and writing assignments are above the mundane and the obtuse.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know whether I\'m supposed to feel surprised, shocked, or appalled at any of the responses. However, I am pleased and honored. Pleased with my students and honored that they took the time and responded to this assignment with such boldness and brazen honesty.</p>\n<p>I put the writing assignment on the whiteboard, and then explained it. It looked like this: <br /><br /><strong>Foreign Men and Thai Girlfriends </strong></p>\n<p><strong>1) Good / Bad / Good and bad <br />2) Why?<br />3) Problems.<br />4) Advice:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>(a) Foreign men to Thai girlfriend. <br />(b) Thai women to foreign boyfriend.</strong></p>\n<p>I have one hundred and seventeen (117) students in total in five different classes, (a grade 11 reading class was added this semester.) They range from 15 to 17 years of age. One hundred and ten (110) students took part over two 50 minute class periods. Seven (7) students were absent. Sixty-eight (68) students (62 percent) thought that foreign men and their Thai girlfriends were a good idea; twenty-two (22) students (20 percent) believed it was bad; and twenty (20) students (18 percent) thought it was good and bad.</p>\n<p>This is neither scientific nor is it a social survey Thai mores. It is simply my attempt at understanding my students and how they are the products of their society; a society that is constantly in flux. It is important to understand and acknowledge that while many of my students freely gave their opinion on this contentious topic, they are also members of a family, a community, a region, and a society that demands of them their time, their obedience, and in some extreme cases, their potential and their very essence. I am fully aware that my students, and the answers they gave in writing assignments, are influenced by temperament, the history of their country, and the prevailing social climate.</p>\n<p>In the spirit of full disclosure, I also come at this with my own biases, opinions, and experience, both good and bad. I am not against Thai women running after foreign men nor am I against foreign men lusting after Thai women. Simply put, I am for what works and I\'m against that which does not work.</p>\n<p>Admittedly I was looking for the &lsquo;golden nugget\' in this writing assignment. By the golden nugget, I mean someone who has the courage to stand up and say,</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t like what\'s happening to my country. We are losing our history. We are losing our traditions. We are losing our pride, self-respect, and dignity as people and as a nation. We are selling our individual and collective soul to the devil. And it may be too late to get it all back.\"</p>\n<p>I am looking for a hero and Thailand\'s future leader. He or she may not be in my class, but I\'m hoping he or she is. I found that golden nugget. You can see her at the top of this blog holding her writing assignment. I will include her writing in full towards the end of this blog.</p>\n<p>Most of the students, as lovely as they are, are also incapable of forming a coherent English sentence both in its spoken and written form. This is a product of bad teaching, lax parenting, and a loveless and compassionless educational system which uses the students for their own nefarious ends while squashing to death any creativity and potential many of the students once had. Because of this, I had to make some corrections in much of their writing in order for it to be understood. So a sentence such as this,</p>\n<p>\"I think so bad because Thai girl went have money foreign men only.\"</p>\n<p>Was rewritten in this blog to look like this:</p>\n<p>\"I think foreign men and Thai girlfriends are bad because Thai girls only want money from foreign men.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>It retains its original meaning and becomes grammatically correct. Spelling mistakes were also corrected.</p>\n<p>By the way, that was a very common opinion regardless of whether the students thought that Thai women and their foreign boyfriends were a good idea, a bad idea, or both: Slightly more than half of the students (58 of them, or about 55 percent) mentioned money as an important or determining factor in why it is either a good idea or a bad idea for Thai women to date or marry foreigners. That should not come as a surprise to those who have lived in the \"Land of Smiles\" for any significant period of time. Personally, I would have thought that more students think this way given the current social and political climate in this country regarding money and the Thai people\'s innate propensity to turn just about every human interaction into a potential financial scheme.</p>\n<p>I also asked the students to outline some of the problems these couples may have, and any advice they can give them: Advice to a Thai woman who wants a foreign boyfriend and advice to a foreign man who craves a Thai gal.</p>\n<p>Here are some random responses from the students, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the humorous.</p>\n<p>\"It\'s good because it makes a new experience for life and we know about the foreign man.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think foreign man and Thai girlfriend is good because it changes languages between people. Foreign man teaches languages to Thai girlfriend and Thai girlfriend teach languages to foreign man too.\" <br />(A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because foreign men have money and foreign man handsome.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think foreign men and Thai girlfriend is good because a baby of foreign men and Thai girlfriend will talk English very well and learn Thai very good.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it good because if Thai girl have a son or daughter they will be handsome and pretty and have a better life. The problem is that foreign men have many wife so Thai girlfriends will feel sad.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s a bad thing because many foreign men take love and Thai girl believe them, but it\'s not true.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 female)</p>\n<p>\"The first problem is that foreign men have many wives and Thai girlfriends will feel sad.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because foreign men and Thai girlfriends will change culture together and I think Thailand will have many languages.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s bad because I don\'t like foreign men, I like Thai men. I think Thai people get many problems from foreigners, like Thai teenagers use the wrong Thai language. It makes wrong culture and makes half-blood people. So now Thailand has more half-blood people than in the past.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"Foreign man must take care of Thai girl because Thai girl have small body.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because we can learn his or her language. He can know about her culture and she can know about his culture too. The first problem is time because Europe has different time than Thailand. Sometimes you can\'t sleep because in Europe it\'s morning but Thai is evening.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 female)</p>\n<p>\"I like foreign men more than Thai boyfriend because Thai boyfriend drinks alcohol and have many girlfriends. When Thai lady have problems, Thai men never stay with her. Most Thai lady wants to marry with a foreigner because they have happiness and don\'t cry. Sometime in the future I want to marry with a foreign man like my aunt. I see her always smile and the world has a pink color. Right now she has 4 babies. She don\'t work job because her husband don\'t want my aunt to work. When I do wrong to foreign man he forgive me, but when I do wrong to Thai man, he never forgive me. Foreign men good man. May God bless you.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 female)</p>\n<p>I consider myself fortunate this year for a few reasons. I love the students I have and I\'m enjoying a good quality of life here in Northeast Thailand. I look forward to getting up each morning and coming to school. I also enjoy my time off. I am also sharing space in the teacher\'s room of my school with several other foreign teachers as well as a few Thai teachers. A few of the Thai teachers can be infantile and noisy, but that\'s life in a teacher\'s room. Some of the foreign teachers are a pain in the ass, but that\'s also life in a teacher\'s room.</p>\n<p>One of these foreign teachers is a 60 year old Australian man. I love his stories. In fact, I love all the stories from the foreign teachers: The good, the bad, and the ugly. This 60 year old Aussie first came to Thailand in 1975. Life here was very different back then, according to him. There was far less greed and materialism. The Thais were nicer back then with a sight touch of naivety and xenophobia: Both endearing traits as far as<br />I\'m concerned. As for the women, well, according to this 60 year old Aussie, the only way a foreign man can \"have\" a Thai lady way back then, (at least in the Biblical way), was to parade around the &lsquo;red-light\' districts with a wad of cash. And from what I understand, it didn\'t take a lot of cash. Most Thai ladies in 1975 were far too respectable to be seen with a foreign man.</p>\n<p>Anyway, this 60 year old Aussie, who is really no different than most foreign men in Thailand, has a 28 year old Thai girlfriend. This 28 year old Thai girlfriend works in a factory for 8,000 baht a month, about $270.00 U.S. based on the current exchange rate of 30 baht to the U.S. dollar. According to the Aussie, she enjoys the independence of having a job gives her as well as the camaraderie with her colleagues.</p>\n<p>But wait! The 60 year old Aussie has an idea. \"So last week I told her that you don\'t have to work for slave wages. Come and live with me, darling, and I\'ll give you 10,000 a month.\"</p>\n<p>Ten thousand baht a month! What a guy. What a man. What a hero! Three hundred and thirty U.S. dollars a month to share a room and a bed with a 60 year old, 100 kilogram Aussie with a bad hip. Wow! That must be every Thai woman\'s dream.</p>\n<p>But wait again! She said no. The 28 year old factory worker said no. Hallelujah, maybe there is some hope after all. \"So she rejected my 10,000 baht a month offer\", he tells the rest of us in the teacher\'s room. \"She wants 20,000.\"</p>\n<p>Holy crap! Twenty thousand baht a month to share a room and a bed with a 60 year old, 100 kilogram Aussie with a bad hip! What\'s this world coming to?</p>\n<p>Yes I know that there are some beautiful and wonderful western men/Thai woman relationships and marriages. I have seen them and have heard from several men. But they are in the minority. They are the exceptions. Once again, I\'m not against cross-cultural marriages or relationships. However, I am against exploitation from all sides and any angle. And I am horrified by the stories all over Southeast Asia of children born and abandoned by these pathological unions. It is always the children that are the ultimate victims. It\'s always the children that suffer most.</p>\n<p>Thailand does indeed have a huge problem with dirt-poor and uneducated women and their old, fat western partners-in-crime. But it\'s not the only country in Southeast Asia where its young, poor, and disadvantaged female population has sold their individual and collective soul for a slice of the financial pie. The Philippines is another case in point. This from the Philippine Inquirer:</p>\n<p><strong>500,000 Filipino Mail-Order Brides Worry Villar</strong></p>\n<p>Websites promoting marital match to be probed too</p>\n<p>By Veronica Uy<br />Inquirer.net First posted 16:18:00 08/31/2007.</p>\n<p>Filed Under: Internet, crime, laws, relationships and dating</p>\n<p>MANILA, Philippines --- Despite a law banning mail-order marriages about 300,000 to half a million Filipino mail-order brides continue to leave the country each year and Senate President Manny Villar wants this investigated.</p>\n<p>Politicians in Southeast Asia may pay lip service every now and then to preserving and protecting the dignity of their women, but when push comes to shove, money wins every time. Politicians, law enforcement, bar owners, financial institutions, parents, drug dealers, pimps, dead-enders, and just about every good-for-nothing in between is involved one way or another in the sex industry, the mail-order bride industry, the &lsquo;romance tour\' industry, the internet cyber girl industry, and every other industry and \"dating\" websites that peddles human flesh to old, fat, bored, and lonely foreign men. And make no mistake. It is an industry. In the west we say \"money talks\", but in Thailand, \"money screams.\" It screams loud and it screams proud. And sometimes it screams bloody murder; the murder of bodies and souls.</p>\n<p>In their Faustian deal with the devil, it seems that the ultimate price paid for financial security and a better life by many of today\'s Thai women (and others in Southeast Asia) may be very high indeed. But don\'t take my word for it. Take the words of my 15, 16, and 17 year old students. Don\'t listen to me; listen to them.</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because Thai girlfriends will be rich so Thailand has money from foreign so much. And Thai girl have a son so very handsome and speak English very well. It\'s making Thailand famous country. I love Thailand!\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"My opinion is that foreign men and Thai girlfriends are good because foreign men are rich and Thai girl will have better life.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because foreign men have a lot of money and Thai women will have a comfortable life.\" (A 15 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good and bad. I would like a foreign man to take of me and my family. But some foreign men drink a lot of alcohol, not have a job and it\'s not good in my opinion.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good and bad, but up to them personally. Some foreign men cheat Thai girl and some Thai girl cheat foreign men too. They just want only money but no true love. This is bad.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good and bad, it is up to them. Most Thai girl who want foreign men, she want a better life and money.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"In my opinion it is both good and bad. An advantage is the exchange of culture, languages, and technologies. A disadvantage is that some people do not really love each other and deceive each other. Thai women sometimes behave badly; foreign sales of service to men, or struggling to find a foreign husband. And sometimes she makes herself look ugly and inappropriate. It\'s detrimental to society and nation.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"In my opinion I think foreign men and Thai girlfriends are good and bad because if Thai girl marries with good foreign men she is happy and her family is happy. She will have a lot of money, house, car, and everything she wants. But if many Thai girls marry with foreign men, Thailand won\'t have culture and everyone will speak English. A problem is that they can\'t understand each other. My advice is to understand each other\'s culture and find good people with heart and true love.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"My opinion is good and bad. Problem is most Thai girls choose foreign men become they are rich. Most Thai girls think they will be richer and happier because they believe money is everything.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s very good because we will change culture, language, and food. I think foreigners very good for economy.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think foreign men and Thai girlfriends are good. I like foreign men because they are rich and handsome.

Thailand will develop in everything, example: Sports, language. If Thailand doesn\'t have foreigners, Thai people won\'t develop.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think I like foreign men because foreign men are clever and rich. But I don\'t like foreign men who don\'t care for me. If I have a foreign man, I will travel and go shopping. Thai girlfriends are sexy girls and hot girls.\" (A 16 year old grade 10 female)</p>\n<p>\"Thai woman must learn languages and Thai woman must change ideas about money because Thai woman thinks foreign man is very rich and kill foreign man in the end.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 male)</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because Thai woman have a new experience and foreign man give me money for Thai girlfriend.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 male)</p>\n<p>Have you noticed that many of the students said that they would like a foreign man because \"he could take care of my family?\" I have. There\'s nothing in their writing about taking care of the foreign man\'s family. Nothing about taking care of a foreign man\'s ageing mother or a father with Alzheimer\'s disease. It\'s as if the foreign man\'s family doesn\'t exist. This lack of reciprocity should concern even the most ignorant of westerners.</p>\n<p>These teenagers, as lovely as they are, are not the same teenagers that we find back home. They are far less idealistic and far more pragmatic. While some expressed a desire and a yearning to find true love, many more of them did not. Love has taken a back seat to opportunity. While many ignorant and gullible foreigners are walking around Southeast Asia thinking that these girls really love them, these girls and their families see nothing but an opportunity. True love be damned! Just give me the cash.</p>\n<p>I subtitled this blog \"In Defense of Exclusion, Discrimination, and Xenophobia.\" There\'s a reason for that. Recently we had two days of sports activities at my school. There were no classes and the students got to play games, run around, dress up in funny costumes, and cheerlead. Schools all across Thailand do this once a year, and, quite frankly, it was fun to watch.</p>\n<p>One of the foreign teachers complained, \"Why don\'t the Thais include us? I would be glad to referee or help out in any way. That\'s the problem here. They don\'t include foreigners.\"</p>\n<p>My silent response to that was: Thank God they didn\'t include me. When I wanted to watch the mirth and merriment, I simply stepped outside and walked downstairs to the playground. When I was hungry, I simply walked across the street and ordered some of that crispy pork and rice that I love so much. And when it got too hot outside, I simply went back to the air-conditioned teacher\'s room and played around on my laptop. So please continue to exclude me. When it comes to extracurricular activities, (which the Thai administrators show almost no real planning, and keep changing schedules faster than I can change my socks), I much prefer to watch my lovely students from afar. My point here is this: Have you read the writings from my students? Playing referee in some little boy\'s football match is small potatoes for these people. Many of the Thais have much bigger plans for us.</p>\n<p>As for discrimination, there was a time not so long ago when a man who practiced a certain type of discrimination was referred to as a &lsquo;connoisseur\', as in &lsquo;this man has discriminating taste.\' Those who don\'t discriminate in their personal life are in for a lot of trouble. Yes I discriminate and I\'m damn proud of it. I will not marry or have a relationship with a dirt poor farmer\'s daughter from Southeast Asia, even though I have had such relationships in the past. I would like to think that I have learned something from those experiences. Again, have you read the writings from my students?</p>\n<p>A wife, regardless of nationality, religion, or race, must be an asset to the marriage, not a liability; or God forbid, a financial parasite. She must continually add something to the union, not endlessly subtract from it. This is how I discriminate. If I were to look for a wife, again, regardless of nationality, she would have to have at least these:</p>\n<p>*** A university degree<br />*** A steady and regular job that pays well. <br />*** A work ethic<br />*** Parents who are in a stable marriage<br />*** No criminal background (that includes &lsquo;bargirl\' or prostitution) <br />*** Morality, dignity, integrity, and self-respect<br />*** Money in the bank (at least $100,000 U.S. would be nice) <br />*** A proven track record that she can indeed save money and support her family.<br />How\'s that for discriminating taste, gentlemen? <br />As for my defense of a more xenophobic Thai society, one of the problems with Thai society vis-&agrave;-vis foreigners is not that the Thais are xenophobic; it\'s that most of them are no longer xenophobic. Once again, have you read the writings from my students?</p>\n<p>Xenophobia literally means fear of strangers. Moreover, it is a deep and irrational fear of strangers. Thais, and other Southeast Asians, who take so much pride and exert such effort in ripping off foreigners don\'t seem xenophobic to me. Thai girls and Filipinas who chase after foreign men twice or thrice their age for financial security don\'t seem afraid of those foreign men to me. Those Southeast Asians who use foreign men and their money for their own nefarious ends don\'t seem irrational to me. Their overzealous chase of foreign men and their money is very well planned, very well executed, and rational to the extreme. My 60 year old Aussie colleague, whom I like (I say that because he may be reading this), likes to remind everyone how the Thais were much more fearful of foreigners when he first come to Thailand in 1975.</p>\n<p>At the beginning of this blog I said that I would share what I referred to as the &lsquo;golden nugget\' that I was searching for. The 17 year old grade 11 student in the picture at the top of this blog is holding her writing. Her name is Arpaporn and I have been looking for a girl like her for years: A girl with courage; a girl with the convictions of her beliefs; a girl who sees what\'s here and what\'s coming, and doesn\'t like it. Here is her writing in its entirety errors and all. But it is clearly understandable.</p>\n<p><strong>\"Foreign men and Thai girlfriend\"</strong></p>\n<p>I think a most of Thai people would like to marry with foreigner because they prefer goods to real love. Thai woman have a big problem and most problem is a money. If a foreign man don\'t have a lot money, it\'s difficult to have a Thai girlfriend.</p>\n<p>I don\'t like a foreign men because they look not polite and don\'t care Thai women. It make me don\'t like and never think to marry with a foreign. Love and family is important more than money. If we don\'t have happiness, money can\'t buy it. The most foreign men come to Thailand because they can\'t live in their country.</p>\n<p>Thai women have a foreign husband because they love money and a happiness. It make a problem about culture and language. They look Thai women as poor and stupid. I want to love a Thai man and take care him. I don\'t want money for happiness.\"</p>\n<p>That gets an &lsquo;A\' from me, mostly for content and the courage to speak out. Foreign men who think that Thai women are the greatest thing since sliced bread need not worry. That is a minority opinion. Only 20 percent of the 110 students who wrote thought that way. I wish it were higher; a lot higher. Arpaporn wants to take her country back and I love her for that. I admire and respect anyone who stands up for their nation this way.</p>\n<p>Arpaporn is a lovely girl, and much too polite to tell foreign men what they can do with their money. But I\'m not. What she is also saying is,</p>\n<p>\"Take all your money, your house with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, your condo with a panoramic view of the sea, your car, your boat, your fancy clothes, your alligator shoes, your designer underpants; take all of your stuff that you think controls us Thai girls, and shove it up your fat, hairy, pizza-filled foreign ass! As a Thai girl, I cannot be bought. I have pride; I have dignity; I have self-respect. And my country has traditions; traditions that will not be changed by a bunch of low-life classless good-for-nothing foreigners who can\'t even find a girlfriend in their own country. Thank you for visiting my country. We hope you enjoy the sun, the sea, the temples, and the food. But keep your hands off our bodies. We are not for sale. Have a nice day!\"</p>\n<p>That is also what one in five of my students said in their writing; not exactly in those words, mind you. Unfortunately, many more of them didn\'t say that. Many more of them can be bought. Many more Thais are for sale.</p>\n<p>What makes Arpaporn so special is the fact that she is not only battling the foreign influence in her society, she is also fighting the current and prevailing opinion of her fellow Thais. Those fellow Thais who think it\'s perfectly normal to take money from foreigners so that their family will be happy and Thailand will be strong. I get the feeling that fighting her fellow Thais will prove much harder for Arpapron than telling foreign men where they can stick their money.</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure how others out there will take the writing of my students here. But I take it as a warning; a stark and dire warning to beware of the<br />contemporary Thai woman; to be leery of the modern Filipina. They are not modern at all. They are opportunists. They may be packaged and marketed to the western man as conservatives and traditionalists, but they are not. They are progressives; extreme liberal progressives who deign to take from the rich and give to the poor. Income redistribution is their game, and I\'m not playing. I have learned that the best winning strategy is not to play the game.</p>\n<p>What frightens me in all this is the sense of entitlement that many young Thais have today. It\'s as if they honestly feel that they are entitled to the white man\'s money. It they can\'t get it the old fashioned way, through hard work, integrity, and honesty, then they will simply take it from others and feel not the slightest bit of guilt or remorse.</p>\n<p>\"Foreign man good for Thailand because he is rich and Thai family will have big house, new car, nice clothes...\"</p>\n<p>This is the leitmotif occurring over and over again in many of their writings. And from 15, 16, and 17 year olds! Where are these ideas coming from? Thai and Filipino parents who tell their children the new fairy tale of the old, fat, rich foreigner who will one day \"come to our little village, sweep you off your feet, take you to his big castle in (Insert western country here) where you will live happily ever after?\" I do admit that this may sound more pleasing than \"Little Red Riding Hood\" or \"The Three Little Pigs\" but it is squashing and annihilating any incentive and motivation young Thais and Filipinos may have once had to roll up their sleeves and make something of their own lives.</p>\n<p>It\'s incredible to me that many of the foreign English teachers themselves don\'t even see this; or maybe they don\'t want to see this. I have sat in teacher\'s rooms, in restaurants, and in bars with foreign teachers who constantly complain about the lack of motivation in their students. But not once have any of these teachers looked inside themselves or at the ex-pat community to see how they may be contributing to this problem. Most of these teachers have not developed the introspection that is required to sufficiently and fully understand the problem such as the lack of motivation in today\'s Thai youth. And why should today\'s Thai youth become motivated and self-reliant when hundreds of thousands of people all across Thailand are now being supported by ignorant and gullible foreigners. It has become the new normal, the new gold standard.</p>\n<p>One of the things I find fascinating with much of the ex-pat community here in Thailand is their almost blind insistence on changing Thai culture and society. In fact, many of them have been convinced, (or they have convinced themselves), that this task will not only be easy, but enjoyable. As my new hero Arpaporn said in her writing,</p>\n<p>\"They [foreign men] look [at] Thai women [as] poor and stupid.\"</p>\n<p>Indeed, many of these cultural imperialists look at the Thai people themselves as poor, lazy, and stupid and their culture and traditions as backwards. (I hope I\'m not revealing too many secrets here.) So it\'s natural for many of them to think that you can change poor, lazy, and stupid people quite easily, right? Ha!</p>\n<p>For imperialism to succeed, you must control the population sufficiently enough to have them do your dirty work. Many of these foreign teachers, who themselves are barely above the $1,000.00 a month mark in relation to the baht, can\'t even get their wives or girlfriends to spend this 30,000 baht a month wisely. So much for control and having someone else do your dirty work.</p>\n<p>In fact, in Thailand it is just the opposite. What is the opposite of imperialism? The world of politics has a term that best describes what has been happening to foreigners vis-&agrave;-vis their Thai wives and in-laws. This term is called \"co-opt\" and many of these foreigners, whether they realize it or not, have been co-opted. To be co-opted you must first have had at least a modicum of freedom and individual sovereignty prior to coming to Thailand. Once this freedom and individual sovereignty has been relinquished, through marriage and the redistribution of any money and assets he once had, congratulations! You have now been co-opted. You are now a full-fledged member of the Thai establishment. Now, if a foreign man doesn\'t mind being co-opted, fine. But if he was blindsided and never saw it coming, or didn\'t do his research, or listen to all of the horror stories out there and was still co-opted, then who\'s the dummy now, huh? Who is the poor and stupid one now?</p>\n<p>Thais make a big deal of never having been conquered by a white western power. It\'s in their history books that are fed to children here day after day. They know how to co-opt people, and most foreigners never seem to learn that--- until it\'s too late.</p>\n<p>\"I think it\'s good because Thai woman have a new experience and foreign man give me money for Thai girlfriend.\" (A 17 year old grade 11 male)</p>\n<p>You see, co-opted.</p>\n<p>That\'s why girls like Arpaporn are so special. Thai girls like Arpaporn should be celebrated as the new and modern Southeast Asian woman of the 21st century: A leader who could take her country back and lead her into the future, with hard work, pride, dignity, and integrity; not with the fat white man\'s money. She ends her writing with these words:</p>\n<p>\"I want to love a Thai man and take care [of] him. I don\'t want money for happiness.\"</p>\n<p>I would like to think that foreign men (and Thai men as well) would like this kind of courage and bravery. I would like to think that foreign men (and Thai men as well) would respect a strong and honorable woman such as Arpaporn; a woman who knows that a better life lies within her and within every Thai, and not in the pockets of a foreign man. But I\'m not sure if that\'s true.</p>\n<p>I\'m willing to bet that the two groups of people who will criticize me the most for this blog are the men (both foreign and Thai) who are benefiting in one way or another, and Thai and Filipino women who are also financially benefiting from the generosity, naivety, gullibility, and stupidity of their western benefactors.</p>\n<p>This kind of criticism to me does not matter. What matters much more is that we support young women like Arpaporn in their quest for independence and becoming their own person. After all, isn\'t that what we foreign teachers claim we want to our students? That they think for themselves, come to their own decisions, and make up their own minds?</p>\n<p>I would love to see Arpaporn, and others like her all across Southeast Asia, stand up to the unsavory ex-pat population and take their dignity back. It takes some very special people to stand up to this; very special people to restore the honor, dignity, innocence, and self-respect that Thai women once had. I would be pleased and privileged to stand with such people. And I am pleased, privileged, and honored to have Arpaporn, and a few others like her, in my class. Sometimes the teacher becomes the student and I thank my students for this important lesson.</p>\n</p>','','2010-12-07 17:24:35',1,'2010-12-07 17:24:35','2010-12-12 21:09:36'),(3290,20,'House of horrors part three','house-of-horrors-part-three','An update on the perils of having your own house built in Thailand','After returning to Thailand, I found a contractor I thought was committed to building my house the way I wanted it.

I was ecstatic that I had found someone committed to finishing my house after the problems with the first guy. Throughout the building process, I remained at&nbsp;home and oversaw their work to make sure it was built just as I wanted. My wife cooked lunch for&nbsp;the new contractor&nbsp;and his crew every day they were here. Things went well and I fully trusted him and his whole crew. If there was a problem, he would give me options on the way to solve it. We had a good working relationship.</p>\n<p>During the 7 months&nbsp;the contractor&nbsp;worked for me, if he had to take off because I didn\'t have the money to continue (there were such times) or he had to return to work in his rice fields, I would loan him 10,000 thb so he could make his truck payments. And when I had the money to continue with the house-build, he started work again. I would take&nbsp;the truck payment&nbsp;loan out of the building costs as each section was completed. I genuinely liked him. I liked his crew and the way they set about things.&nbsp;I trusted them all.</p>\n<p>I guess your wondering why I am using the past tense? &nbsp;Well.....there were problems, but not until the house was in its final stages of completion. After 7 months my house was structurally finished. At least all the walls were up, plastered and painted, the roof finished, all the electric wire was in place, and all the plumbing was where it should be, the counters were built, and part of the floor tile was finished. And that\'s when&nbsp;the problems started.</p>\n<p>All of a sudden, the builder&nbsp;failed to show up for&nbsp;work. Either that or doing unacceptable work, not finishing work, and not doing the things I requested. One weekend, after 14 days of&nbsp;not showing up&nbsp;and me repeatedly calling him, I started getting suspicious, so I hired an electrician to go into the attic and check his wiring, because I thought I had bought more wiring than I should have.</p>\n<p>The electrician found clear evidence of&nbsp;the contractor and his crew&nbsp;stealing wire, but worst of all, everything was wired totally wrong. After all the problems and now&nbsp;they were&nbsp;stealing from me!</p>\n<p>I terminated the contract and told&nbsp;the contractor&nbsp;to come and get his equipment and leave. All this happened AFTER I had advanced him 10,000&nbsp;baht to make his truck payment on&nbsp;the last day he worked. My wife argued against letting him go because he hadn\'t done 10,000&nbsp;baht worth of work. I told her it is better to let him have the&nbsp;money than to pay for any more materials to repair what he did wrong and let him continue to steal from me. So, she reluctantly agreed.</p>\n<p>Again, I knew it would be difficult to find someone to finish what was already started. But, I felt to get the house I wanted, the way I wanted, it was necessary and I&nbsp;was determined to&nbsp;find the labor to finish the job.</p>\n<p>I began to question myself. Was I&nbsp;being too picky? too demanding or simply&nbsp;unreasonable? I came to the conclusion that no, I simply wanted the house the way I wanted it and was willing to pay more if necessary to get quality.</p>\n<p>In retrospect, I honestly believe this builder was overwhelmed and didn\'t understand the amount of work it would take to complete a house and he thought he could do everything required. My house was the first he had ever&nbsp;contracted himself. Before me, he had always been a sub-contractor doing only part of the work. Getting the walls and roof finished was only the beginning -&nbsp;as he soon&nbsp;found out.</p>\n<p>After he left, I hired the electrician that inspected the builders work to wire the house properly&nbsp;and to finish installing the lights and ceiling fans which&nbsp;the builder had refused to do. I also hired a tiling crew to finish laying the tiles, pouring the concrete for the sidewalks, patio, and driveway and a mason to build the walls around the yard.</p>\n<p>However, I am not finished yet. I still have to have the cabinets installed, several inside doors, and odds and ends, but at least we are living in the house despite all the problems.</p>\n<p>On a trip into town to register the house address, I spoke with a man&nbsp;who told me he had had&nbsp;six different builders work on his house before&nbsp;it was&nbsp;finished. His story was sadly the same as mine. This seems to be a common practice at least in my area according to the owner of the building materials where I bought supplies.</p>\n<p>I met another man that didn\'t have any problems at all with his contractor. He invited me over for coffee and to see his house. All I can say is he had a dream contractor. The house was beautifully built. So there are certainly <em>some</em>&nbsp;professional contractors that do excellent work in my area. I happen to&nbsp;have got&nbsp;two bad eggs. It\'s been a nerve-racking, exhausting, expensive lesson, but finally it\'s almost over.</p>\n<p>The court battle with the first contractor is not over yet however. The court system works slowly here. My attorney expects&nbsp;things to be finalized&nbsp;in January. We have presented our proof as to what we told the court in November. We have another court date in January, so the saga continues. I\'ll keep you updated.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/halfhouse.jpg','2010-12-18 00:11:26',1,'2010-12-18 00:11:26','2010-12-18 14:02:27'),(3291,20,'In defence of the edutainers','in-defence-of-the-edutainers','A young teacher\'s perspective on teaching in Thailand','Most of the English teachers in Thailand seem to be slightly older so it’s understandable that they would view energy, positive reinforcement and affability in the EFL classroom with disdain and denial.','<p>The majority of the bloggers on ajarn are of the more serious variety and tend to focus on the quality of teachers and schools and the availability of the better ones.</p>\n<h3>Edutainers</h3>\n<p>Occasionally, this passion gets directed towards younger teachers and this is often where the word &lsquo;edutainers\' makes an appearance. I am here in defence of such teachers.</p>\n<p>At age 19 I travelled to South-East Asia on a gap year, after my travels were up I thought I\'d add another year and go back to Thailand as I loved it the most. Teaching was thrown about as a stress free way to cover the cost of living and fairly easy to get into, so I headed back out with the sum total of my overdraft to keep me going until the money started flowing in.</p>\n<h3>Up\'t north</h3>\n<p>Choosing Chiang Mai, I soon learnt that it would not be that easy and got used to living cheap very quickly. Certainly doing a TEFL course at the Chiang Mai University was a good idea, if, nothing else, it looks good in the interview. I landed the standard 250 baht an hour job at a language school on the Huay Kaew road and picked up some private students as I went.</p>\n<p>From the course, and the reaction of students, employers and parents it was clear that the job required was half teaching/half baby-sitting. Quickly falling back on my opinion that kids learn best when they are enjoying themselves I dove straight into the fun culture (also that\'s the reason why I, and I suspect most of us, came to Thailand).</p>\n<p>I\'m not going to brag about results or what I thought the students were getting from me as a teacher, mainly because I didn\'t expect them to get much, I was just amazed that about 10-15 hours in total &lsquo;working\' was paying for, as far as a 20 year old would be concerned, a good standard of living. My total earnings at their best were, thanks to 500 baht an hour private lessons, about 25,000 baht a month but then, at their worst, around 10,000.</p>\n<p>Fine, up to this point everyone is getting what they want; I get my escape from reality and the students do learn some English. I wasn\'t kidding myself into thinking I was making a difference but happy in the knowledge that, on days when the mood was right and the environment cohesive, I could give the students something genuine.</p>\n<h3>Getting students on board</h3>\n<p>Of course the fact that I had such a low workload and few difficulties in my personal life meant I was perfectly happy to be a resource to my students who did want to learn and clearly found it easier to open up to somebody like me, who they could relate to.</p>\n<p>Being myself in class made it easier for the students to accept me as myself outside of the lesson period, which resulted in one-to-one fragments which incorporated only what the student wanted to know and ended and begun when they chose.</p>\n<p>Naturally a proper teacher, working proper hours with lessons to plan, tests to mark and everything else I was warned about and never seemed to have to do, wouldn\'t be able to be an active and accessible teacher for every moment they were in the classroom. I, and my contemporaries all of whom were similar age, mentality and had a similar workload, were confused as to whether staying in the TEFL industry long enough to become proper teachers would make us become jaded and, like many bloggers to this site and other career TEFL teachers, disillusioned about our reasons for being teachers.</p>\n<p>Certainly, all the problems, raised by those who know best about the problems with the Thai education system, were evident at all the formal levels of teaching that I had knowledge of, but I did my best to focus on the positives.</p>\n<h3>Moving upwards</h3>\n<p>After it was clear that 8 months was too long to spend living a relative holiday, I decided that, rather than returning home and consigning my discovery of teaching to memory, I would continue on to the bottom rung of the ladder of proper English teaching.</p>\n<p>Thanks to ajarn.com, I found a job in a brand new MLP at a government school in Chiang Rai, I decided to treat it as seriously as possible (to get used to proper work as much as to learn more about the world of English teaching) but realised that government schools, or at least this school, have the same mentality as language schools towards education.</p>\n<h3>Becoming an edutainer</h3>\n<p>Ultimately, I realised that the methods I\'d applied at the language school would be the most useful here and so I became that celebrated &lsquo;oxymoron\' an edutainer. I don\'t need to list the variety of ways I felt the teachers and administration at the school failed the students, that\'s all been thoroughly reported by the majority of the bloggers on this site.</p>\n<p>What I will say is that, thanks largely to the fact I only had 10 hours of classes each week, the style of teaching I enjoyed most and worked best in the situation was also the style of teaching that the school, like so many others (apparently), desired.</p>\n<p>One thing that most TEFL teachers have in common is their opinion that their job involves far more than just teaching English, imparting the knowledge of our superior culture seems to be high on the list for many of the teachers who furnish this website with their opinions.</p>\n<p>I do believe that Thai students, indeed anybody studying English as foreign or second language, can gain from learning about Western culture in the same way I and everybody reading this blog has learnt from Thai society and been influenced by the other cultures they\'ve experienced.</p>\n<p>As a teacher I want to teach English so those who want to learn can realise their potential; acquire the knowledge of the language to the point where they understand the use it has in the modern world and how they can apply it to discover all this new stuff for themselves. The job of teachers is to inspire and inspiring students to further their education through knowledge of English should be the job of all English teachers.</p>\n<h3>Teaching colleagues</h3>\n<p>Most of the English teachers in Thailand seem to be slightly older so it\'s understandable that they would view energy, positive reinforcement and affability in the EFL classroom with disdain and denial.</p>\n<p>Thailand is, like Phil said in the \'Hot Seat\' section, a young-man\'s game. But I don\'t subscribe to the view that all non-career teachers are short-changing students and under-cutting the serious ones, I took my job seriously and gave a lot of effort. I shouldn\'t be accused of laziness because I tried to make my lessons fun and used my free time to travel and enjoy myself.</p>\n<p>I met one teacher who was so convinced by his teaching method and significance he ran out his entire contract picking esoteric fights with anybody who would listen and then complaining he never had time to teach and wasn\'t able to teach what he wanted.</p>\n<p>You can\'t change the system by constantly fighting it, playing the game and literally playing games in class is far more productive than constantly arguing with Thai administrators. Thailand is a fun country, that\'s the reason we came here and that\'s the reason the TEFL system is the way it is.</p>\n<p>Besides don\'t Thai students get guaranteed grades anyway?</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/clown.jpg','2016-12-14 21:48:09',1,'2016-12-14 21:48:09','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(3313,10,'Attractive teacher wanted - must have GSOH','attractive-teacher-wanted-must-have-gsoh','How difficult is the foreign teacher dating game?','In a country brimming with physically attractive people, why shouldn\'t a foreign teacher seek a loving, happy relationship with one of their own kind?','<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dating.jpg\" width=\"350\" /></p>\n<p>This is not so much a blog as a friendly&nbsp;teacher helpline.

I am just wondering if I should prepare myself for a lonely two-three years. Any advice?</em></p>\n<p>I don\'t get sackloads of communication on this topic, but you do wonder just how many teachers are out there&nbsp;looking for love among their own kind in a country that\'s world-famous for......*cough*.........initiating relationships with local people.</p>\n<p>Several months ago, I got an e-mail from a teacher who was thinking of starting up a dating website aimed purely at foreign teachers looking for relationships with&nbsp;other foreign teachers in Thailand. So at least one budding entrepreneur recognized the problem existed and saw a potentially lucrative gap in the dating site market. I\'ll confess I wasn\'t really sold on the idea but it would certainly&nbsp;make a refreshing change from&nbsp;browsing through the gazillions of Thai dating sites with pages of grainy photographs of overpowdered gold-diggers all describing their English as \'minimal\' and looking for a foreign man with a good heart between the age of twenty and ninety.</p>\n<p>This whole topic of relationships comes up regularly on the ajarn discussion forum. Although I\'m no Dr Ruth where dating and mating are concerned, I always get the impression many of the guys who post their thoughts are still nursing the battle scars of failed relationships back&nbsp;in their homeland. Relationships between a foreign man and a Thai woman might not be perfect, but they are often uncomplicated. And for many men that\'s good enough.&nbsp;But perhaps there are&nbsp;significant numbers of single male teachers&nbsp;out there who are tired of dating outside their own culture and want something a bit more challenging? Perhaps the opportunity to take a partner to a movie and then afterwards over coffee, discuss the director\'s use of camera angle and&nbsp;primary color - instead of asking whether the film was good or not, getting a one-word answer, and then continuing the taxi journey in silence.</p>\n<p>But let\'s go back to Sarah and her e-mail. Sarah\'s been here before. She knows the ropes. She knows what it\'s like to live in a city where at times the entire foreign male population&nbsp;seems to be&nbsp;chasing Thai tail. And let\'s face it -&nbsp;even for those with the personality and appearance of a swamp donkey, Thai companionship is never too&nbsp;difficult to find. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The question is how is Sarah going to connect with like-minded foreign teachers for a few rounds of the dating game? There will no doubt&nbsp;be plenty of opportunity for raucous girly nights out with female teaching&nbsp;colleagues but too many of those can wear anyone down? Eventually one&nbsp;craves for&nbsp;a special night out with that one&nbsp;special person. Just the two of you in a romantic restaurant, gazing into each other\'s eyes and&nbsp;waiting patiently for your&nbsp;main courses to arrive. And then after a fine meal and several glasses of extortionately priced wine, one of you whispers \"your one-bedroom studio or mine?\" The perfect end to a perfect evening.</p>\n<p>Seriously though, what advice do you have for Sarah?&nbsp;Is she worrying too much? Anyone with experience of playing the farang dating game?

It only surfaces during Christmas time in the form of a swell on my throat, a runny nose, and watery eyes, as it is doing this moment.\n<p>The rattling on the door of our apartment woke me up. I looked at the clock and it was just a few minutes before 8 that Sunday morning. It was too early, I thought. My wife\'s schoolmate, Nut, didn\'t normally come to pick her up but until almost 9. They both used to attend the weekend adult school that the provincial government of the island of Phuket offers to Thais who want to continue their education. But the noise stopped, so I tried to go back to sleep. As I was dozing off, the bed began to shake mildly. This was very unusual since our bed was an unmovable, tiled block structure solidly attached to the cement floor. With my eyes still closed, I began to refuse the possibility that this could be an earthquake, and being originally from California myself, had also developed a casual wait and see attitude about what was a common occurrence there. The shaking only lasted a few short moments and I was thankful I could go back to sleep. The bed moved again a few seconds later and this time my wife, Kob, woke up asking what was happening. I had no choice but to roll out of bed, saying, \"Oh, it\'s an earthquake\".</p>\n<p>I opened the door, stepped outside, and looked out from the third floor hallway overlooking the apartment parking lot. There was no one on the street, no noise, no cars, and no commotion. We went back to sleep. I vaguely recall her getting up shortly thereafter, getting ready to go to school, and leaving the apartment. It was shortly after, as later news reports indicated, that the first tsunami waves, caused by a very large 9.2 magnitude earthquake off the Indonesian island of Sumatra, arrived at the Phuket island beaches of Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, and Rawaii, continuing on to the rest of the inner bay and islands of the adjacent provinces of Krabi and Phang Nga and causing untold destruction in Khaw Lak beach on the coast up North and on the Phi Phi islands in the South.</p>\n<p>My stepdaughter, Beam, then 4 years old, woke up at about 10 that morning. I gave her breakfast and turned the TV on, looking for the usual Sunday morning children\'s cartoons. At the time, we only had local cable TV, which did not include programs in English, so when I came across a news channel showing water crossing over a road, I did not understand and actually thought they were reporting rain flooding, which is common in Thailand during the rainy season. Beam and I had little to do until noon when my wife finished her classes.</p>\n<p>Sometimes I would take her to a park so she could run and have fun in the children\'s playground. Other times I would let her ride her small bicycle with training wheels around the block while I walked behind her. I had thought on other occasions that I could take her to the beach on my motorcycle and I wanted to do it that day. The thought of taking my stepdaughter to the beach without her mother\'s express consent kept me from doing it. It was the wisest decision, for at those precise moments, a tragedy of biblical proportions was unfolding less than 20 kilometers away, precisely where I had wanted to take her. I switched TV channels for Beam and I nearly fell asleep again, practically sleeping through the one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history taking place nearby.</p>\n<p>Kob came home early at about 10:30. She said that classes had been cancelled because the electric power had gone out. On weekends we often went for lunch at Rawaii beach where there were small seaside restaurants overlooking the emerald green waters of the bay, but that day, as if by a continuing play of destiny, we chose to have lunch in the town, possibly at one of the restaurants that offered a combination of Thai and Western food.</p>\n<p>We had just ordered lunch when we noticed a few foreign tourists staring at the TV in the restaurant. It was a CNN news report and this is how I learned of the tsunami event. My mobile telephone rang. It was one of the English teachers who worked for me at the private vocational college in Phuket where I was the English Program manager. She and her husband owned a sailboat and had spent Christmas anchored off Patong beach and had alerted me that there had been a series of waves causing their boat to rock and turn wildly while some of their friends at the docking marina were less fortunate and their boats had suffered damage. I began to call other teachers but their phones rang with no one answering. I didn\'t know what to do next as the impact of the news had not yet taken place. We lived and worked in Phuket Town, on the eastern side of the island, and this was the least affected side as it faced away from the open ocean. There was nothing unusual happening downtown. There were no sirens, no alarms, and no public announcements. People were going about their everyday chores. Everything seemed normal. We finished our lunch and decided to continue on with our Sunday afternoon with a motorcycle ride around the town.</p>\n<p>Then we saw people gathering on the edges of one of the major water canals that cut across Phuket Town. Some people were walking away with fish hanging on fishing lines and in small nets. Fish out of the water canal? That was out of place. There is no fish in the water canal because the water is not clean and free flowing. While the canal does collect runoff water from rain and streams from nearby hills, there is no visible current and the volume of water is usually very low. As a matter of fact, the water is mostly still, black, muddy and very dirty from all sources of pollution, discards and sewage that fall into it from practically every street drain. We parked our motorcycle and approached the canal to see what was going on.</p>\n<p>There was more water in the canal than usual and it was flowing. It was moving out to the ocean and occasionally one could see fish coming up to the surface out of the muddy black clouds in it. The water was also moving trash and debris that had settled upstream: pieces of wood and furniture, Styrofoam, plastic bags and bottles, discarded vegetables, and even oil slicks. I still could not understand what was happening other than what I was seeing was not normal. The loud blaring sound of a police vehicle air horn made me turn my head and look. A small wave was traveling upstream, as if coming from the sea, against the outgoing current. The sea had pushed water and fish up the canal and then it drained carrying the fish back out now mixed with the trash and debris that had accumulated for years. But water canals do not have traveling waves. This was not a danger but was the ominous sign that something had gone wrong. I began to get an uneasy feeling of uncertainty, of not knowing. We walked away from the edge of the canal and toward our motorcycle. A few people had also left on motorcycle and headed towards the hills. We decided to follow.</p>\n<p>There are several hills surrounding Makham Bay, next to Phuket Town, which does not have a deep-water bay. We went up one hill to a scenic viewpoint overlooking the bay and parked. There were already several Thais looking down at the water and conversing lively. In spite of the good weather and lack of strong winds, the waters were rough and moving wildly as if stirred at random by some gigantic force. Disjointed waters moving chaotically in all directions and large whirlpools circling around imaginary drains had replaced the usual surface pattern of ripples. I signaled my wife to look at the place where the sky met the sea. The horizon had turned into a long wide white band, covering the entire side-to-side distance. It was the crest of a tsunami wave. We were not afraid. We didn\'t know what to do. There was no sense of urgency or need for action. Instead, we were confused. Local Thais were standing around, looking at the water, as if lost. We were all lost. It was 1 in the afternoon and subsequent news accounts indicated that by now it was all over.</p>\n<p>Upon our return we saw that the streets of Phuket Town were now silent and deserted. There were no cars or people. Thepkasatri Road, the main traffic artery leading into and out of the city, was empty. The silence and emptiness of this tourist resort island on this day after Christmas was overwhelming. We went back to our nearby apartment where we watched news reports on TV. Without English channels, it was difficult to understand and connect the events to the earthquake, the magnitude of the catastrophe or what to do next.</p>\n<p>On Monday morning I went to work as usual. A few students came to the school but they were dismissed early. The English teachers and most of the Thai teachers did not come either. There were only a few of us at the administration building. The school principal, whose office was next to mine, was quiet and didn\'t speak much either. By mid-morning there was no one left at the school. I went home too.</p>\n<p>On Tuesday morning most of the teachers reported for work and there were more students. I then learned of the ferocity of the events and the scale of the destruction. One of the English teachers had brought photographs from Patong and Kamala beach showing the aftermath. Tales of losses and survival began to surface. We had lost several high school and college students to the raging waters. We could only assume that many others lost relatives too.</p>\n<p>One of the English teachers who lived in Rawaii and not far from the beach actually slept through the whole tragedy as her house was on the other side of a hill. The killing tsunami, in the most treacherous way, had come silently, without warning. The sea had retreated from the beaches exposing large areas of wet sand. Children and others walked to the open area to collect seashells. Then the first wave, at least a ten-foot wall of water, rolled in washing away and carrying everything that was on the beach, crossing over the road and slamming hotels, shops and restaurants. Hotels and structures on the beach got a direct hit. Those who worked in the basements of shopping mall or hotels drowned immediately with no hope of escape. Cars parked on the beach road got lifted and carried as battering rams against the buildings facing the sea. In Patong Beach, one nightclub had two pickup trucks and one automobile piled up on top of the other jamming the front entrance.</p>\n<p>In Khaw Lak, a tourist resort about an hour drive up the coastline, the waves reached a height of thirty feet. There, a car got lodged on the roof of a two-story building. Most injuries and deaths occurred as a result of both drowning and being hit by floating objects: refrigerators, boats, cars, furniture, and pieces of buildings. Heavy objects that did not float, such as concrete blocks, were pushed around as if they were children\'s playing marbles. As the wave retreated, it carried all the objects it brought along picking up even more on the way out. About twenty minutes later a second wave, even larger then the first one, struck. This time it came armed with all the objects the first one had picked up, catching by surprise those who had started to help the injured.</p>\n<p>This cycle went on for several more times about every twenty to thirty minutes until the waves became smaller and less powerful. People were running for higher ground trying to save themselves. Some in the islands headed for the hilly jungle where they were met by poisonous snakes. With no medical attention available, those who got bitten perished too. Another English teacher who lived in Panwa Cape watched how his long tail boat was trashed about and stripped off its four-cylinder diesel engine by the force of the waves. Years later, scientists estimated that the combined force of the earthquake and tsunami was fifteen hundred times greater than that of the atomic bomb dropped over Hiroshima, Japan, during the Second World War.</p>\n<p>The school principal alerted me that the Thai teachers and students were going to the Phuket Provincial Hall to assist the tsunami victims and that English speakers would be of use. In turn I asked the English teachers to come and help and all agreed. We left the school grounds and proceeded to the Provincial Hall not far away.</p>\n<p>The Phuket Provincial Hall was an older style building with white verandas and wood trim resembling a colonial mansion from the Sino-Portuguese trading days the island of Phuket was once famous for. It had large gardens and old trees surrounded the two-story white structure. That day there was so much traffic in this quiet neighborhood that even parking my motorcycle on a side street was difficult. There were many people, tables, booths and stalls in the garden and the whole scene was so chaotic that it could have been mistaken for a large picnic or celebration of sorts but then I saw foreign tourists, some with bandages on their arms, large scratches, and long cuts on their legs. Thai volunteers staffed the tables and offered assistance with lodging, local transportation, and directions to other emergency and government facilities. Some airlines had set up tents to attend those wanting to be evacuated and return home. Various consulates had also set up facilities to assist those who had lost their passports and belongings. Most of those seeking help were stranded and injured tourists. Groups of people gathered looking at a large posting board with lists of injured at various hospitals. There were messages of people looking for lost ones. There were photographs of deceased who needed to be identified.</p>\n<p>By now I had lost everyone in the chaos and was alone. I ran into a group of volunteer female students from my school who were passing out bottles of water. They recognized me, gave me the classical Thai smile and offered me water. I stood with them not knowing how to help. A few moments later a Thai teacher, who was also our school\'s public relations officer, saw me and asked me if I could make announcements in English over the loudspeakers. I gladly accepted since as a former amateur radio operator I was very familiar handling and speaking with a microphone. She took me to the steps of the main entrance. There a microphone was handed to me from a person who was originally speaking in Thai to the crowd. My instructions were to announce the various evacuation flights from Quantas Airlines to Australia, Thai Air to Bangkok and Hong Kong, the location of the various consulates in the building, the availability of medical emergency services, the location of survivors lists, the need for volunteer experienced divers and navigators, volunteers capable of traveling and staying in damaged zones, and other necessary information as needed.</p>\n<p>I took over the microphone with the passion of one who has found a calling in life and immediately began to speak with the power of a public announcer, clearly and with authority, slowly at times but stressing the urgency, with cadence and character, with the best I had learned from many years of operating as an amateur radio operator and on-the-air net controller. I didn\'t let go of the microphone for hours on end. Occasionally someone would want to make an announcement in Thai but the microphone was always returned to me. I continued until nightfall when the crowd subsided.</p>\n<p>I returned the next day and assumed my task again. Some air flights had been changed, some medical facilities had been moved, but there were more lists of injured. My wife came and videotaped what was taking place at the Phuket Provincial Hall, including me, for I had become part of it. At one point my cell phone rang: it was my mother calling from California. The international news had covered the tsunami to the extent that the whole world knew more about it better than those who were in the middle of it. I told her that my family and I were fine, not to worry, \"Sorry, Mom, can\'t talk much right now. I\'m helping with the rescue effort\". Yes, I was finally doing something. My two cents. All I could do. It was now Wednesday and the crowd was thinning out. Most of the surviving tourists had gone home, the injured had been treated and the lost ones had been found.</p>\n<p>Late in the afternoon I put down the microphone, bade farewell to the few remaining Thai staff and went down the steps of the entrance. I felt a light tug on my sleeve. It was one of the Quantas attendants from the nearby airline tent. With a smile, he handed me a soft object wrapped in a clear plastic bag. I opened it. It was a black polo shirt with the airline logo on it. It was a present for my efforts. I thanked him and walked towards the exit passing the large posting board. I looked for the last time at the lists of names of injured from various hospitals and emergency centers. There were still many notes of surviving people looking for lost ones. Parents had left pictures of lost children. They looked young, small and with smiles so full of life that even the darkest hour could be illuminated.</p>\n<p>During wars, we mostly lose men. In natural disasters like this one, nearly one third of the fatalities are children. There were too many. I looked at the pictures of the deceased. They were color computer printouts from digital cameras. The pictures were not good. Many were unrecognizable, with unnatural facial expressions, grotesque, bloated due to decomposition in the hot tropical weather. There were just too many. I clutched my Quantas polo shirt. An intense pain rose in my chest, from an injury I hadn\'t felt. Walking slowly through the now darkened and trash littered gardens of the stately Phuket Provincial Hall, I finally made it to my motorcycle and started the engine. I was going home to my wife and child. I was one of the lucky ones walking away from a scene of death and destruction of unimaginable scale.</p>\n<p>The following week, teachers and students were back at the school. More than one hundred students had lost relatives. Seven had lost their parents. Some would never come to class again. E-mails from friends began to arrive, \"Please tell us that you are well\". A few had made collections while others offered relief assistance. There was an outpour of international help. A few asked me, \"What do you need?\" I could hardly answer. Was it possible to tell good meaning people that it was too late, that it was all over? What do we need? ...body bags, refrigeration units, cadaver sniffing dogs, incinerators, coffins, hearses the size of eighteen wheel trucks, ferryboats, burial grounds? In Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga, the hardest hit provinces of Thailand, there were over five thousand fatalities.</p>\n<p>Radiating from the epicenter of the Sumatran earthquake, passing through twelve countries including the ones with the most human losses, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, all the way to the Eastern coast of Africa, the total count approached two hundred and fifty thousand. All gone in two to three hours. What do we need? I wanted to shut down and forget. How can you tell people who want to help that it was too late, that we had lost two hundred and fifty thousand? If we needed anything, it was beyond what I could describe. In the most cynical way I replied, \"Send beer\". I was spiraling down in the worst manner and I wanted to put my memory to rest. What do we need? I needed to get rid of what I had seen. My injury was deeper than I could imagine.</p>\n<p>Two months later a university from New Zealand, in a noble gesture, offered a scholarship to take students who could train for several weeks and gain skills in an area where they could in turn later help in the task of rebuilding in the aftermath of the tsunami. The students would be given room and board at private family homes, and their round trip airfare and incidental expenses would be paid for. We could only send two students, and since they had to be potential English speakers who were not minors, I was asked to make the choice. I got from the school the list of those who suffered the most: the orphans. Among those, I began to pore over school records and found two who had been through the Tourism and Hotel English program under my direction. They were both \"A\" students. Contacting them was not difficult and after completing the necessary documents and visa applications, they were ready to go. There was even a press conference before their departure.</p>\n<p>Their leaving also coincided with the beginning of the summer vacation so I was in Bangkok at the time and I saw them off at the airport. A group photograph taken during the press conference appeared in the April 23-29, 2005 issue of The Phuket Gazette, a regional newspaper; there I appear with other school officials and the two students who received the scholarship. While walking through a shopping mall in Bangkok with some friends, I approached a newsstand, pulled out the issue of the Phuket Gazette and showed it to them. They were surprised to see me in the papers but also were very proud of my efforts. One of them later contacted me and asked me to distribute cash donations that his American friends had sent for the tsunami victims. I slowly gave the funds to the orphans over the course of several months.</p>\n<p>In the years that have passed, Kob and I moved to an apartment where the door doesn\'t rattle, she earned her general education certificate, and we had our second child. I traveled to California to visit my aging mother, learned to speak Thai, thus can watch TV and understand, and changed to a better paying job, still teaching English. Next month Beam will be ten years old and will be finishing the fourth grade soon. She has learned to swim and now rides a twenty-one inch bicycle.</p>\n<p>The spirit of Christmas past came to visit a few days ago. It came to open and an old injury, as it has done ever since the tsunami, but this time I held it open until a tide of festering memories burst and flowed back into the ocean.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/tsunam.gif','2010-12-19 17:26:56',1,'2010-12-19 17:26:56','2010-12-20 07:07:57'),(3411,54,'Time to invest outside the box?','time-to-invest-outside-the-box','Some interesting ideas for your investment capital','Although generally positive, 2010 has seen considerable volatility in world financial markets that caused investment jitters on occasion and the forecast for 2011includes more of the same. ','<p>In the US the latest home sales figures significantly improved in October but they are still comparatively low, the national debt is continuing to rise with the latest round of quantitative easing and local authorities are cash strapped. In Europe, Ireland has had to receive a financial bailout while several of the Mediterranean countries continue to struggle with their debts and high unemployment. Further East, Japan\'s latest stimulus package has failed to stem deflation and the Yen continues to rise to the consternation of exporters.</p>\n<h3>AREN\'T YOU GLAD YOU LIVE IN THAILAND ?!</h3>\n<p>Maybe so, but if you are an expat and you depend on your savings and investments to ensure your future financial security these might be worrying times. If you have been faithfully investing in the major stock markets, you are almost certainly are worse off than you were ten years ago. Money in the bank is now earning interest (if any) well below the rate of inflation. If you bought a property in most western countries during the boom years you are probably sitting on a significant loss. <br />There have been some bright spots such as emerging markets; the ASEAN stock markets in particular have done well recently. However, unless you were well-invested in these emerging markets, as well as some of the &lsquo;outside-the-box assets\' below, the chances are you have been getting nowhere fast.</p>\n<h3>&nbsp;BUT WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?</h3>\n<p>The immediate outlook for traditional assets such as cash, bonds and equities is questionable at present. While the &lsquo;buy and hold\' theory should still work for the long term we need to be more imaginative and pro-active with our savings in the shorter and medium term. This means looking for opportunities &lsquo;outside the box\'. It does not mean abandoning traditional investments. Cash remains a critical element to provide liquidity in all circumstances. Equities and bonds should still form the core of a balanced portfolio and everyone should aspire to owning their own home. But a portion, depending on personal circumstances, should be allocated to other asset classes that offer better prospects of growth in the present climate. So what are these assets?</p>\n<h3>OIL AND ENERGY</h3>\n<p>These should probably now be considered as belonging &lsquo;inside the box\'. Indeed, since they can be freely accessed via stocks and mutual funds they should fall strictly under equities. But they form a very important sector and need special attention. As the global population continues to grow at an alarming rate demand also continues to grow for energy resources that are rapidly depleting. The world is going to have to turn progressively towards alternative and sustainable forms of energy. Demand for both conventional and alternative forms of energy is currently sluggish but as demand picks up again the pressure on both will increase. These are areas worth investing in for the medium and longer term, even if prices are volatile in the shorter term.</p>\n<h3>GOLD AND PRECIOUS METALS</h3>\n<p>One thing is for sure. These assets are not in unlimited supply. Gold has had a rollercoaster ride over the years. Sometimes it surges as in recent years, other times it lies low, as it did from around 1980 for almost a quarter of a century. But it will always have a value and is a good hedge against a falling dollar and political or economic turmoil. Silver has underperformed the gold resurgence in recent years but now its attractive value and raised expectations for global industrial demand has seen silver outperform gold this year. Platinum has a life of its own as it is needed in the oil, auto and computer industries. A balanced portfolio should certainly have a portion allocated to these assets. No need to go out and buy the physical product; you can access them through bullion or mining funds.</p>\n<h3>OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES</h3>\n<p>These include other metals that are needed by industry such as iron ore, copper, zinc to name but a few. Then we have that priceless commodity, water. We take it for granted but much of the world\'s population has no access to clean water and maintaining a constant supply in even advanced countries will become a growing challenge. Then we come to agriculture. The summer months in the northern hemisphere witnessed massive forest fires in Russia, unprecedented floods in Pakistan and a mixture of droughts and floods in other countries. These events, have already forced up the price of wheat. A growing population and a shrinking food supply due to climate change will inevitably lead to shortages and higher prices. Again, through mutual funds you can invest in metals, water and agriculture, assets that will always be in demand and can only rise in value over time.</p>\n<h3>FORESTRY</h3>\n<p>While many resources are finite, one resource is renewable and sustainable, namely trees. With growing demand in line with rising populations an investment in forestry has got to pay off.&nbsp;Here in South-East Asia we have some interesting investment opportunities. Products range from bamboo to Jatropha, an inedible fruit that converts to biofuel that has even been successfully tested in a jumbo jet. It\'s also worth mentioning a product called Agarwood, always in demand as a highly-prized aromatic resin. Investment in forestry products entails tucking your money away from between three to fifteen years. That might seem a long time but the returns could outperform your conventional pension scheme. The companies offering these investments mainly project returns in excess of 15% per annum.</p>\n<h3>LITIGATION FUNDING</h3>\n<p>This is not a new asset class. It has been around for over 30 years, The difference now is that it is growing in countries such as the UK, US and Australia, where it accounts for only 5% of total litigation costs. But the big change is that it is moving from the domain of institutional investors such as pension funds and hedge funds to retail investors like you and me. Why is this? Because traditional sources cannot currently meet the demand. Many cases are never pursued because most people cannot afford to take on the big companies; neither can law firms afford to fund the cases. This is where litigation funding comes in. The funding company puts up the money if their analysis indicates at least an 80% chance of winning a case.</p>\n<p>Usually, when the defending party realises that unlimited funds are available to fight the case it is happy to settle out of court. The plaintiff is quite content to take as little as half the awarded damages because he has taken on no risk at all. The other half is divided between the lawyers, other experts, the litigation funding company and the investors. For added security, insurance is taken out to cover the risk of losing a case. The returns currently being offered range from 10% to 20%pa with a potential for 100% or more, depending on the selected level of insurance protection. With one company, an investment of &pound;25,000 will earn the right to 1% of the awarded settlement in up to ten cases.</p>\n<h3>ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND RISK VS. RETURN</h3>\n<p>So there you have it; you can definitely make a lot more money by taking a more adventurous attitude to investing. But you must still keep your feet on the ground and maintain ample cash and some conventional investments. However, if you can afford to accept a degree of risk and step &lsquo;outside the box\' there\'s a whole new world of opportunities!

Well, Henry is the undisputed No.12 Filipino chess player in Thailand and No. 2058 in the world as recognized by FIDE (World Chess Federation) He is a regular organizer of open chess championships in Thailand participated in&nbsp;by chess enthusiasts and expatriates alike. Recently, he organized the 4th Grand Prix, an open Chess tournament,&nbsp;which starts&nbsp;on the 9th of January 2011. Henry owes a lot&nbsp;to chess for it has made him what he is now. That\'s the reason I guess why he puts his heart and mind into promoting it.</p>\n<p>Roland, on the other hand, was a former Montessori School owner, a college instructor in the Philippines, community service volunteer, English camp organizer, and an English Instructor from Rajabhat University rolled into one.</p>\n<p>The two Filipinos were destined to meet one day and agreed with one another, \"Yes, why don\'t we work as partners and open Gainsfields -&nbsp;which could be a monumental place in Thailand - a very strategic training ground for Chess, Science, Math, English, Japanese, French, and Chinese. Who knows, the students we produce may develop and improve their critical thinking, becoming champions in their own way and&nbsp;pursuing excellence in all spheres of life.</p>\n<p>Setting&nbsp;up Gainsfields in Thailand&nbsp;has been&nbsp;truly a gargantuan task for the two guys. In addition to the initial course of establishing the center, they also encountered a lot of communication problems which have led to numerous misunderstandings.<br /><br />Of course, before plunging into this uncertain venture, a feasibility study was undertaken and it yielded very positive and encouraging results and&nbsp;gave the two guys the&nbsp;green light&nbsp;to pursue the opening of the center.</p>\n<p>So far, the center has encouraged a number of students to enroll because it is advertised&nbsp;via the Internet, flyers, friends, and students themselves. At present, they have an inspiring number of students despite the fact that they only started two months ago. Fortunately, the center is in a very strategic location for chess and language eager beavers so that a day never passes without inquiries that end up in enrolment. Henry and Roland\'s optimism confidently make them speculate that in two years they will be able to&nbsp;break even and hopefully expand their services for the benefit of more students as well as jobless Filipino teachers. Similarly, they hope to move to a big building like the \"Brain\" so that they can serve more clients.</p>\n<p>The school has teachers&nbsp;of various nationalities: 2 Americans, 2 French, 1 Japanese, 1 Chinese, 5 Filipinos, and 2 Chess teachers, Chanida Taweesupmun, Thailand\'s No. 1 woman chess player, and Henry Calacday himself.</p>\n<p>As stipulated in the center\'s philosophy, the founders expect graduates who will gain sufficient knowledge in their respective areas and be champions in their own field of studies because of the scientific techniques employed by the teachers, notwithstanding the emphasis of practice which is a vital key to proficiency.</p>\n<p>The center caters to the needs of&nbsp;all ages - kids to adults whether beginner, refresher, or advanced. What makes the center different from other learning centers in Thailand is that chess is being offered particularly to Thai kids who would be studying in a scholarship to be future grandmasters like World No. 1 , Magnus Carlsen of Norway, Bobby Fisher of America , Garry Kasparov of Russia, V. Anand of India, and Wesley So of the Philippines.</p>\n<p>In the near future, the center will be needing staff to meet the demands of numerous clients that may come from government offices, private companies, and highly motivated individuals who may want to enhance their language skills in FEJC (French, English, Japanese, and Chinese) By then, the center will serve as a monitoring agency rather than merely functioning as a language center. So, if you&nbsp;will be out of job in the future and you want extra income, <a href=\"mailto:gainsfieldchess@gmail.com\">keep in touch</a> with Gainsfields&nbsp;or call them on&nbsp;08 963 2878.

Better still, drop by the 5th Floor 5015 Pantip Plaza Bldg., Ngamongwan Road, Bangkhen, Nonthaburi.</p>\n<p>Incidentally, Henry also wants to invite all Filipino Chess enthusiasts (newbies - expert) to participate in the 4th Grand Prix - An Open Chess Tournament for Thais, expatriates, and Filipinos to be held on THE 9th January 2010 at Gainsfields Chess and Language Center from 8:30 am. to 5:00 pm.

Maybe a look at some of the principles discovered in business research on the professional success of individuals can be helpful for us in creating our New Year\'s resolutions and to help us to make 2011 a year in which some personal and professional accomplishments are made.</p>\n<p>\"Good\" goals share a number of common features. Here are a few suggestions for making New Year\'s resolutions for 2011</p>\n<p>1. Our New Year\'s resolutions should be aligned with our higher order life goals. For example, a goal to learn to speak Thai fluently makes sense if one is planning to create a career in the Land of Smiles, but might not be a good use of time and be hard to sustain the motivation for someone just wanting to spend their \"gap\" year in Thailand having fun before beginning their \"real life.\"</p>\n<p>Working towards achieving our resolutions (goals) should help us achieve longer term professional or personal objectives. Another example, giving up smoking can help achieve a healthier and longer life.</p>\n<p>By making sure our New Year\'s resolutions are aligned with our higher life-long goals we ensure we use our time and energy efficiently. Also we are more likely to stick with our resolutions if there is a linkage with benefits that will last beyond 2011.</p>\n<p>2. Our New Year\'s resolution should be \"stretch goals.\" Stretch goals are goals that are neither easy nor impossible to achieve. Setting a goal of winning the Boston Marathon is not very realistic for most middle aged educators, but setting a goal of running 3 hours a week is doable, but still challenging for most teachers.</p>\n<p>Only when we \"stretch\" ourselves do we come close to achieving our potential. Therefore goals that are too easy to achieve may make us feel good about achieving them, but may prevent us from achieving the level of \"success\" we are capable of.</p>\n<p>3. Our New Year\'s Resolutions should be measurable. Instead of making a resolution of losing some weight; it would be better to set the goal to lose 10 Kilos (or in my case a bit more would probably be better). Instead of setting the goal of learning to speak Thai, it might be better to set as a resolution the passing of the Thai language proficiency test in December. Instead of making the resolution to save some money for retirement this year, it might be better to make the resolution to save 100,000 Baht.</p>\n<p>Goals without measurable outcomes often fail to provide the direction, motivation and benchmarks needed to achieve the results desired.</p>\n<p>4. Our New Years resolutions should be time specific. Goals we plan to achieve \"someday\" are normally put off, and not surprisingly \"someday\" never seems to come. How many of us plan on writing a novel \"someday?\" I know I have had this goal for years but have never really started putting my ideas to paper. Good New Year\'s resolutions should include specific time frames. For example, \"this year I will start on a masters degree in linguistics and will complete it by 2013\" might be a good resolution.</p>\n<p>If one wants to achieve one\'s dreams it is better to get started in 2011 than to wait for \"someday.\"</p>\n<p>5. We should have a plan to achieve our resolutions. Goals without plans are just dreams. Our resolutions will not happen just because we made them, we need plans. Often to achieve our resolutions it takes considerable time, steps and effort. For example, I will not lose those 10 (or more) Kilos by skipping breakfast and taking a walk on New Year\'s Day. It will take an exercise and eating plan for the entire year to achieve. One will not become fluent in Thai by going to Asia Books and buying course on the Thai language. It will require a study plan and the motivation to stick to the plan.</p>\n<p>Alongside making New Year\'s resolutions, one should also design plans on how to achieve the goals that are set.</p>\n<p>New Year\'s resolutions or other life goals do not have to be accomplished in full to be valuable. Often while working towards a goal, our life aims and ambitions change, but working towards goals we have set allow us to \"move forward.\" For example, the money one saved for the goal of retirement can be used to start a business instead if one\'s life\'s ambitions change.</p>\n<p>A personal example, I had a goal of getting a well paid job in an international company and part of my plan was to earn a BS and later an MBA. I never got my dream job but the education helped me to get into a PhD program and later become a university professor. When starting higher education the idea of someday become a professor was never in my mind, nevertheless, I could not have become one without the education. While I did not achieve the specific goal I set for myself, I am not unhappy with where I am now and I do not feel the education was a waste because my initial goal was never achieved.</p>\n<p>I always make New Year\'s resolutions but I have not always, or often, followed the advice given above and I could list countless New Year\'s resolutions I have made that did not achieve anything productive. But I can recount one time when I did follow the advice given and it paid off. In 2006 (5 years ago), I made a New Year\'s resolution that I would write and have a book published with a respectable publisher within 5 years. I was working on my PhD at the time and therefore this goal was aligned with my long-term career plans, was a stretch goal, was measurable and time specific.</p>\n<p>My plan included the first step of investigating the publishing industry and start sending out some book proposals. Shortly after the start of the New Year, I saw a call for book proposals and since I had always heard writers nearly always receive a number of rejections before getting a book published, I figured that while I did not have the qualifications the publisher was looking for, I would send in a proposal with the idea that it would be a good learning experience and I would get my first rejection. To my surprise, the proposal was accepted and my first book was published in 2007. I have had two other books published since that time. Would I have achieved this goal without having made the New Year\'s resolution to do so? Maybe, but maybe not.</p>\n<p>In one year\'s time, we will all be facing 2012 (well hopefully all of us will), the passage of time is something we have no control over. What we do have control over is the progress we make in achieving our life\'s goals within the next year.</p>\n<p>I would like to wish everyone a happy and successful 2011 although each of us defines success in an individual way. Making a few New Year\'s resolution following these five steps might be helpful in making 2011 a good year of personal and/or professional growth.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Ok, now it is time for me to stop giving advice and start working on my own New Year\'s resolutions.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>','','2011-01-02 07:05:09',1,'2011-01-02 07:05:09','2011-01-02 21:09:10'),(3687,57,'Let\'s play Bangkok monopoly','lets-play-bangkok-monopoly','What would the Bangkok edition of the Monopoly board game look like?','Recently I was asked to play the Thai edition of the game, first produced in 2005, but I was disappointed to discover that the game is not based on Bangkok, but on Thailand, with the likes of Samui, Phuket and Pattaya dotted around the board','<p>For any of you that travelled back to see family this Christmas, like me at one point you were asked to play a board game....a sort of Christmas tradition in many families. This year we played Trivial Pursuit, but in past years we have played Monopoly. As anyone who has played this game will tell you, it is a great way to learn about both real estate and the city the game is set in.\n<p>As a Brit, I was brought up on the London Edition of Monopoly, although I realize that all the US readers of this blog will rightly point out that the original version of the game was made in 1935 based on Atlantic City, but the London version came soon after in 1936. So for the basis of this article I will refer to <a href=\"http://central.kaserver5.org/PlayK/Monopoly/EngB.gif\">the London edition</a>.</p>\n<p>Recently I was asked to play the Thai edition of the game, first produced in 2005, but I was disappointed to discover that the game is not based on Bangkok, but on Thailand, with the likes of Samui, Phuket and Pattaya dotted around the board. So I have decided to try and piece together a quick version of the board game based solely on Bangkok. I am not going to try and cover every space on the board, but as many as possible in reference to key and popular areas of Bangkok where expats may live.</p>\n<p>I want to point out that this blog is in no way designed to insult or refer derogatorily to any part of Bangkok, but is merely to act as a useful reference to people new to Bangkok or looking to move to a new part of Bangkok from their existing district. I have based this loosely on the price of Real Estate in each district as with the original game, on a like for like basis on the cost for a 1 bedroom condo in each relative area. As there is no actual Monopoly Bangkok Edition I cannot refer you to an image, but the closest reference for a visual will be the BTS/MRT map which you can find at <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/bts-search\">this link</a> and with this link you can review the properties nearby by clicking on the appropriate station</p>\n<p>So let\'s start at The Start and Old Kent Road &amp; Whitechapel Road. This area could be related to the Pinklao district of Bangkok, with some low cost and well valued property to be found. Also with plenty of language schools in this area the district is very popular with language school teachers who have recently acquired certificates like their TEFL. However the main downside to this area is the lack of public transport and with no BTS or MRT stations close by, residents can start to feel isolated from the city center.</p>\n<p>Moving around the board we get to the pale blue spaces of Angel Inslington, Euston Road and Pentonville Road. These areas I would liken to Wongwien Yai &amp; Krungthonburi Stations. These two stations were opened in May 2009 and can be found on the BTS/MRT link above. A great place to live in as&nbsp;regards to the age of the buildings in that area, almost all brand new or built in the last 3 years and the freshness of the air, being on the edge of the city center, the sky is actually blue and you can hear birds tweet. Also with the BTS close by you can be in Siam Square in under 25mins.</p>\n<p>Next on the board are the lilac colours of Pall Mall, Whitehall &amp; Northumberland Avenue. These I would liken to On Nut, where once again you can get great value fo money and great proximity to the BTS station. And with On Nut being based on Sukhumcvit Road, you can be in either central Sukhumvit in 10 mins or at Siam Square in 25 mins. Also Sukhumvit has its fair share of language schools and international schools. On Nut therefore is a very popular area of teachers.</p>\n<p>Creeping up the board we get to Bow Street, Marlborough Street and Vine Street. These areas can be likened to the stations of Lat Prao, Sutthisan and Huay Kwang respectively. All three districts have an MRT station and our home to some great brand new condos such as <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-ivy-ratchada-dindaeng--1138\">The Ivy Ratchada</a> which is only 150m from the MRT station. Also with The Esplanade just a few stops away you can enjoy low-cost living combined with high levels of facilities and the convenience of having a shopping mall, cinema, ice rink and bowling alley close by.</p>\n<p>The Strand, Fleet Street and Trafalgar Square represent some of the most famous names of London and the heart of the city center therefore in regards to Bangkok these could be references to Ari, Phayathai, Ratchathewi and Siam Square, all which can be found on the above link. As this covers the largest area we will cover in one segment. It has a wide range of properties, but like previous examples not only are they well located to BTS and MRT, which can be seen by clicking through the stations on the above link, but also within easy access of cafes, restaurants and shops. Also there are significant schools and language schools in the vicinity.</p>\n<p>For Leicester Square, Coventry Street and Piccadily we jump to Sathorn and therefore to Surasak and Chong Nonsi BTS. Traditionally Bangkok\'s CBD, in the last 18mths the area has seen a growth in very good quality condos, and yet due to the level of supply the prices of such properties have remained reasonable. And with the opening last year of the Bangkok BRT linked to Chong Nonsi BTS, this area will only become increasingly popular with expats.</p>\n<p>Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street can be represented by Ekamai, Asoke and Thonglor, which all have BTS stations with Asoke also being located close to the Sukhumvit MRT station where the two lines meet. Thonglor has long been regarded as a popular and high-end district, very popular with both Japanese expats and high-end Thais. However Ekamai has recently had a surge of development with some luxury condos and shopping malls recently opened in the area, this district looks destined to challenge Thonglor for its trendy status in the coming years. Asoke is home to both residents and a small CBD. With the interchange of both the BTS and MRT meeting at Asok the area has seen a growth in residential development in the last 5 years. In addition last year the airport link opened at Makkasan linking Phetchburi MRT to the airport, so the area looks set for large scale future residential development.</p>\n<p>Finally we make it to Park Lane and Mayfair, the two crown jewels of the board game. For this reason I have given them two separate districts. For Park Lane we will look at Silom. Due to the lack of land available in this area real estate prices have long been high and will no doubt remain so as no new land can possibly be found. However to help justify the prices, many of the condos are of luxury standard and are well maintained. Also due to the convenience of having both the Sala Daeng BTS and Silom MRT stations located in the area getting around from your condo can be as easy as anywhere in the city.</p>\n<p>So Phrom Phong grabs the number 1 spot, and is Bangkok\'s Mayfair. It wins due to the&nbsp;combination of high-end luxury developments; the district is packed with them, location being literally in the center of Sukhumvit Road, the most international area in Thailand, and its popularity amongst expats, with the number of international retail and culinary outlets it can boast&nbsp;being proof of that. Also with access to the Phrom Phong BTS it is only one stop from linking with the MRT, only two stops from linking with the airport link and has access to both Rama IV where the expressway can be easily found and Petchburi Road.</p>\n<p>Of course there will be many readers of this blog who disagree with a lot of it, and there will be others who will comment that I missed this district or that, for example Phrakanong, Chitdlom and Lumpini Park areas are some obvious and glaring omissions. However I think I have covered the majority of locations of interest to expats and teachers in Bangkok. I hope this serves as a fun and enjoyable way of searching for real estate in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2011-01-04 06:25:13',1,'2011-01-04 06:25:13','2011-03-16 18:06:14'),(3799,4,'Why?','why','Standing up for the teaching profession, and the complicity of silence.

I say you are a neurotic loose canon and a liability for a school, working with children.\" ---- From an email sent to me by a former colleague.\n<p>I have received many such emails from foreign English teachers over the years. \"I know where you live\", writes one foreigner. \"And if you publish one more stupid article, it is time for broken bones\": So much for debate and intellectual discussion. I have been accused of everything under the sun from foreign English teachers since starting this blog on ajarn.com in 2004 and writing opinion pieces for the Korea Times from 2006 to 2008. Not much from Korean teachers; nothing from Thai teachers. But a whole lot of criticism, threats, and spineless accusations from western English teachers.</p>\n<p>I have been accused of sleeping with all sorts of people from prostitutes to ladyboys. I have been accused of being a drug addict. I have been accused of being an alcoholic. I have been accused of watching child pornography. And I think one English teacher accused me of eating a baby, although I can\'t seem to find that email in one of my folders. All from western English teachers; most of them anonymously on the Internet with such menacing names like \"Shirley temper\", \"Superstar1\", \"Spank the monkey\", and \"Big boy English teacher.\" No wonder why I\'m so scared: And all because I dare to speak out; all because I dare to speak the truth.</p>\n<p>I have many questions, but the number one question I have is \"Why?\" Not why do these anonymous losers send me email? I don\'t care about that. Keep those emails and comments coming. But why can\'t I speak out? Why can\'t I tell the truth?</p>\n<p>There are three things which cannot be hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth.</p>\n<p>There are schools that don\'t care about the children they claim to educate. I\'ve been to some of them. They are everywhere, in every country. There are teachers who don\'t care about the students they claim to teach. I\'ve taught with some of them. There are school administrators who care only about money and not a wit about real education. I have worked with some of them. I have also worked with great teachers, good schools, and dedicated administrators.</p>\n<p>So why can\'t I speak out? Why can\'t I tell the truth? What is everyone afraid of? Losing their jobs? Is that it? Losing a 30,000 baht a month, 1,000 U.S dollars a month&nbsp;teaching job?</p>\n<p>There are schools in Thailand--- any school, all schools--- that don\'t allow a student to fail, any student; all students. And the foreign teachers blindly follow. You don\'t want any student to fail? No problem, I\'ll make the final exam so easy that a blind monkey can pass. Little Somchai can\'t speak a word of English? No problem, I\'ll make sure he gets 90 percent on his speaking test. In fact, I\'ll ask Little Somchai his name and if he says \"Somchai\" that\'s four out of ten right there! If he says \"Little Somchai\", well that\'s five out of ten.</p>\n<p>WHY!?! Why can\'t I scream bloody murder at this crap? I realize that we all have a price. But when it comes to maintaining the status quo, I\'m going to need a lot more than a thousand dollars a month. That\'s fine for showing up everyday to teach reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I have no problem with earning a thousand dollars a month in a developing country like Thailand if I am allowed to be a real English teacher. But there are two problems here:</p>\n<p>1) When it comes to education, Thailand is not a developing country; and<br />2) Most TEFL teachers are not allowed to be real English teachers.</p>\n<p>In most schools in Thailand it is enough for a white man to wear a white shirt, show all his white teeth in a wide smile while standing outside the gate and say \"Good morning\" 4,000 times. To many Thais, that\'s a good foreign English teacher; that, and maintaining the status quo by endlessly playing games in and out of the classroom. This from a teacher in the letters to the editor section of the Bangkok Post: <br /><br /><strong>Real education reform<br /></strong>&bull; Published: 30/12/2010 at 12:00 AM <br />&bull; Newspaper section: News</p>\n<p>There have been many editorials and letters criticizing the Thai education system lately, with everyone putting in their two cents\' worth. As a teacher here for the last 8 years, the problems with the Thai school system, that directly affect the way students are taught, have become quite obvious.</p>\n<p>Firstly, there are too many students per class. It is quite normal to have 50 students in a class. In other countries, the maximum is 35-40. Fifty is way too many for teachers to handle _ classrooms are crowded with desks, making fun teaching activities impossible, and teachers cannot give individual attention to problem students. In this atmosphere, rote learning is easiest for the teacher and the student.</p>\n<p>Secondly, there seems to be an unwritten rule that no student, no matter how bad or intellectually behind his/her classmates, will be held back to repeat a year. Again, this does not apply in other countries. This helps to ensure no loss of face by parents, and also ensures that next year there is room for the 50 kids who will go up to the next grade.<br />Sadly, many Thai students are aware of this and it totally does away with any motivation to do well at school. One colleague who tried to motivate a student by saying he needs better grades to pass was shocked when the boy calmly responded that his father told him not to worry because everyone passes.</p>\n<p>I don\'t think it\'s fair to blame exhausted and overworked teachers for the burden placed on them, nor is it easy to motivate lazy students who are simply made to re-sit tests until they pass them. I believe that changing these two root causes would point us in the direction of real educational reform.</p>\n<p>SUMALEE MILNE<br />Chiang Rai</p>\n<p>There are three things which cannot be hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth.</p>\n<p>Let me make something very clear. That most TEFL\'ers are not allowed by many schools to be real English teachers is neither an excuse nor a reason for not behaving like a real English teacher. It is not a reason to kiss ass. It is not a reason to maintain the status quo. It is not a reason to degrade or malign the teaching profession by acquiescing to outdated teaching methods or administrators who take a perverse pleasure in keeping the students under their care ignorant. It is, however, a reason to stand up for the teaching profession. It is an opportunity to teach in a way real teachers should be teaching.</p>\n<p>That there are schools in Thailand--- it could be any school--- that pays qualified Filipino teachers the pittance of 15,000 baht a month should have all of us scream. That there was a school recently, I cannot say the name of the school since there is a no name-and-shame policy on this website, that reduced a teacher\'s agreed-upon monthly salary of 30,000 baht to 12,000 baht should have all of us in a rage. Why was her salary reduced? She was a Chinese national. She spoke English as well as any native speaker and her qualifications were top-notch, having graduated from a top university in Hong Kong. But because her face wasn\'t white and her eyes weren\'t blue, this school forced out an excellent teacher.</p>\n<p>WHY!?! Why shouldn\'t I be angry at this? Why shouldn\'t I speak out? Why shouldn\'t everyone speak out? A thousand dollars a month! That\'s what it takes in Thailand to buy the silence of 10 other western teachers? The shame of it all as the band plays on.</p>\n<p>That there are schools in Thailand--- it could be any school--- that fines its Thai teachers half their monthly salary if they dare to turn in the final draft of their exams one day late should be an outrage to any of us whose obedience and acquiescence hasn\'t already been bought. It\'s tough enough to live on 10,000 baht a month. Now chop that in half for every \"infraction\", never mind that the school\'s computers were on the fritz preventing this teacher from turning in the finished product on time, and maybe some people can see how far this society has to go before it can be considered compassionate.</p>\n<p>WHY!?! Why shouldn\'t I be angry at this? Why shouldn\'t I speak out? Why shouldn\'t everyone scream at this injustice? The shame of it all as the foreign teachers stay silent.... And the band plays on.</p>\n<p>There are schools in Thailand--- any schools, all schools--- where some of the Thai teachers stand behind the students during an exam and whisper the answers to the questions into the students\' ears. Never mind that many of them are the wrong answers. Most of the Thai teachers cannot pass the same exams that they give to their students. Here is the evidence from a column in the Bangkok Post under the headline, \"Education woes.\"</p>\n<p>Friday, December 17, 2010<br />Posted by Sanitsuda Ekachai</p>\n<p>\"Earlier this year, the Office of the Basic Education Commission made high school teachers sit the same subjects they teach: The result? In computer sciences, 88% of the teachers failed the test. In biology, 86% flunked. In math, the failure rate was 84%. In physics, the failure rate was 71% while in chemistry it was 64%. Astronomy and earth sciences did not fare much better with a failure rate of 63% each. The school directors did not fare any better. According to OBEC, 95% of them failed the exams in English and information and computer technology.\"</p>\n<p>And I\'m dangerous? I\'m the enemy? Me? For asking my teenage students what they thought of foreign men dating Thai women? Thank God I didn\'t ask my students how they would tackle political corruption. I might have been shot in the head for that.</p>\n<p>I am not blaming only the teachers for this mess. Although teachers are a part of the problem, there is plenty of blame to go around in a society that knows nothing about how to take responsibility for anything. It is an educational system in a society devoid of vision, leadership, and effective strategies on how to deal with a very old and longstanding problem.</p>\n<p>There are schools in Thailand--- any school, all schools--- who rip the tongues out of the mouths of students. Better not to say anything, my dear. Foreign English teachers, who cry that there is no freedom of thought in Asia, go about their daily life spouting western slogans like \"We must teach our students to think outside the box\", and \"We must teach them to be creative\", and \"We must give our students a voice\", and \"We must encourage our students to find their voice\", and so on and so on and so on.</p>\n<p>Yet when a few of my students wrote that they don\'t like the fact that foreigners are dating Thai women; that many foreign men think that Thai women are \"poor and stupid\", these &lsquo;enlightened\' and &lsquo;open minded\' foreign teachers jump down my throat, calling me unethical and a loose canon: So much for encouraging students to think outside the box; so much for allowing our students the time and space to find their own voice; so much for attempting to follow the Thai national curriculum which clearly states that grade 12 graduates should, among other things,</p>\n<p>* \"Converse and write to exchange data about themselves, various matters around them, experiences, situations, news/incidents, issues of interest, and communicate them continuously and appropriately.\"</p>\n<p>* \"Explain/discuss about lifestyles, thoughts, believes, and origins of customs and traditions of native speakers.\"</p>\n<p>* \"Conduct research/search for, make records, conclude and express opinions about the data related to the learning areas of various sources, and presents them for speaking and writing.\"</p>\n<p><em>(The Thai National Curriculum: Learning Area of Foreign Languages, pages 257-58)</em></p>\n<p>Not that I expect most of the foreign English teachers in Thailand to be familiar with the Thai national curriculum, it is imperative that secondary school students in Thailand learning English be given time and ample opportunity to discuss, read about, and write about cultural and social issues, issues relevant to their society, and issues related to the rest of the world: Those teachers who are not doing this are derelict in their duties.</p>\n<p>What\'s that, Khun Thai administration? You don\'t like the assignment I have given the students? It\'s too western, you say? You don\'t like the textbook? Too western, you say? You don\'t like the way we test and grade the students? Too western, you say?</p>\n<p>Hey, I\'m all for keeping one\'s traditions. I\'m a political and fiscal conservative and consider myself a traditionalist. I find many of the traditions in Asia quite lovely and quaint. I would love to see many of them continue. But the way the human mind works is fascinating; too either/or, too much of a zero-sum game. Keeping one\'s traditions and becoming economically prosperous is not mutually exclusive; unless your traditions are antithetical to economic prosperity, and my time in Thailand tells me that this is not the case. So you can have both, Khun Thailand. Japan has done it; South Korea has done it; Hong Kong has done it; Singapore has done it; and China is now doing it. They are all economic powerhouses AND have managed to keep many of their traditions. You can do it too. But that\'s up to you. It\'s up to you, Khun Thailand what traditions you want to keep and which ones you want to put away for the sake of your citizens taking their rightful place in the world of economic prosperity. It\'s like that old silly joke: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but the light bulb really has to want to change.</p>\n<p>So if you\'re content with making 10,000 baht a month, if you are happy living in a wooden shack with a sack of rice in the corner, a scrawny chicken on the stove, and a buffalo named &lsquo;Boonlert\' tied to a wooden stilt outside, then who am I to change that? If you are truly content with that kind of life, Khun Thailand, then please let me know so that I don\'t have to waste my time and effort trying to teach English to those who are happy with the status quo.</p>\n<p>But I remember talking to my teenaged students about their hopes and dreams. And I remember the sparkle in their eyes when they talked about wanting to be doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, and business people. And I remember the beautiful pictures they drew of their future hopes and plans. So maintaining the status quo doesn\'t seem to be something my teenaged students wanted to do. It seems that the Thai administration and the powers-that-be want to keep these students from achieving their dreams. They want to keep them down. They want to keep them from becoming &lsquo;too western.\' And many of the foreign teachers play along.</p>\n<p>Speaking of too western, what is it with putting 10 or 12 foreign English teachers from various places like Canada, the U.S., England, Australia, and New Zealand in a small room with no partitions and expect them to get along and love each other like the lost tribes of Samara? These 10 or 12 people have almost nothing in common and would probably cross the street to avoid each other if they had the misfortune of meeting one another for the first time. In fact, put these 10 or 12 people in &lsquo;Fat Boy\'s Subs and Pizzas at lunch time and they would avoid eye contact as they sit there and scoff down their 12 inch meatball subs. Put them in a bar at 5:00 with peanuts and a pint in front of them, and they may give one another a perfunctory glance while hoisting their brew. They may even find the courage to swap war stories about how much money their ex-wives got from them. Yet we put these 10 or 12 people in a teacher\'s room and expect them to perform miracles in a country that doesn\'t believe in miracles. Now THAT\'S too western! It\'s also absurd.</p>\n<p>Of these 10 or 12 people, many of whom should never be in a teacher\'s room, you will usually find a fat man who thinks he\'s Napoleon trying to conquer Russia; you\'ll have at least one guy who loves to tell dirty jokes; you\'ll find at least a couple of young punks who can\'t stop talking about all the babes in Thailand; you\'ll find a couple of older chaps who don\'t really like working in Thailand, but hate the country of their birth even more; you\'ll have a couple of serious teachers who seem not to get along with anyone else except for the other serious teacher; you\'ll have at least two newbies fresh out of their 120 hour TESOL course who just want to be liked. \"I\'m teacher Peter\", he tells his grade 4 class on the first day, \"but you can call me P-dog!\" And you may have a lone token western woman who sits there day after day and wonders, \"What the hell am I doing here?\"</p>\n<p>That\'s the typical foreign teacher\'s room in Thailand. You would think it would be so much fun and a laugh a minute just being there. But it\'s just the opposite. Most of these foreign teachers really don\'t want to be there. They\'re not really sure what their doing, or are supposed to be doing there. No mission was laid out for them; no educational vision for them to follow. There may be a curriculum or a syllabus, but very few follow it and no one can accurately explain it. So these teachers are lost. They walk around with the textbook under their arm; after all, it does look good to carry something. But they are like a militia with no leader; just a bunch of followers; sycophants for the administration; the blind following the blind. Nothing gets done; people still copy and cheat; students don\'t really learn what they need to know; foreign teachers, terrified of the Thai administration, bicker among themselves and begin to eat their own; many of them give up or give in, their obedience bought and paid for, the status quo is maintained, and the band plays on; and all for 30,000 baht a month. Now that\'s quite a bargain!</p>\n<p>There are three things which cannot remain hidden: The sun, the moon, and the truth.</p>\n<p>And this is the truth, at least one of them: If Thai parents actually knew who many of the foreign English teachers truly were, they would pull their kids out of school so fast that dust would still be floating in the air hours later.</p>\n<p>Before I conclude, here is a personal judgment from a reader found in the comment section of my December 2010 blog.</p>\n<p>\"I am incredulous that such a bigoted, narrow minded individual is allowed to write on what is ostensibly an educational text. I am further stunned that this person is a teacher. The diatribe is full of personal judgments.\"</p>\n<p>Oh my God, personal judgments! We can\'t have that now, can we? Next thing you know, you\'ll have lawyers speaking out about all of the unscrupulous lawyers out there. And doctors will want to speak out about frivolous lawsuits. And teachers will want to rant and rave about all the unfairness out there. No, we can\'t allow that; unless your handle on Dave\'s ESL Caf&eacute; is &lsquo;backpacker English teacher\' and it\'s 11:00 p.m. and you are sitting alone in your room in your underpants munching on a bag of cheese balls and drinking your fifth or sixth beer. Then it\'s personal judgment time. And did I mention that the sentence \"The diatribe is full of personal judgments\" is itself a personal judgment?</p>\n<p>There are some great and dedicated foreign teachers out there, teachers who truly want to make a positive difference in the lives of the students; teachers who battle day in and day out for their students to have a voice; teachers who don\'t back down from the nonsense spewed forth from the oppressive and educational smallness of mind of the Thai administration. One of these teachers was my former boss in Khon Kaen, and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his effort and hard work. It was truly a pleasure and an honor to work with such a person who put his heart and soul into his work. Thank you, John. And thank you to all the other teachers out there, real teachers, who don\'t put up with so much of the nonsense from a Thai administration that is so out of touch with current reality.</p>\n<p>One last personal judgment, or as I like to call it, the truth: The dark side of the TFFL industry is the complicity of silence between the local school administrators and the foreign teachers. Far too many foreign English teachers in Thailand have allowed their silence and obedience to be bought and paid for, like a commodity on the open market. Far too many foreign English teachers stand by and say nothing as their students are robbed of a true education. Far too many foreign English teachers cower in fear of Thai administrators instead of standing up for the teaching profession. Far too many foreign English teachers prefer to &lsquo;play the game\' than to fight to ensure the educational success of their students. Far too many foreign English teachers &lsquo;sell out\' rather than put in the hard work and effort it takes to save any dignity or integrity the teaching profession may still have. Far too many foreign English teachers are working hand-in-glove with the Thais to ensure that students don\'t have a future.</p>\n<p>And I\'m the dangerous one? I\'m the enemy? WHY!?! Why can\'t I speak out over this? Why can\'t I raise hell? Thirty-four thousand baht a month has never been enough to buy my silence and it never will be.

It\'s a lawless land.\n\n','<p>I used to have a friend who ran a very successful student travel agency down in Malaysia. He was British by birth, but had lived in Malaysia most of his life, and his extremely charming wife was Singaporean. Their business never took them into neighboring Thailand very often, but they always referred to Thailand as &lsquo;The Lawless Land\'.\n<p>The first time I heard them use this expression, I laughed out loud. Let\'s be honest - it\'s the most perfect and appropriate title for this country and hits the spot far better than &lsquo;The Land of Smiles\', which has now become such a tiresome motto. In fact I was so enthused by such a descriptive and accurate slogan that I contemplated contacting The Tourist Authority of Thailand and letting them in on it. But somehow I don\'t think they would have seen the funny side.</p>\n<p>This &lsquo;lawlessness in a lawless land\' was brought painfully home to me in early December when I was involved in a motorcycle accident. I wasn\'t riding the motorcycle. I was just crossing the road opposite my house - a road I\'ve crossed thousands of times without incident - and a motorcycle hit me at speed. The motorcyclist was illegally riding his bike against the traffic flow. Those who have lived in Thailand any length of time know exactly what I mean because we see it day in and day out. One way streets mean nothing here. If getting from A to B by motorcycle means riding headlong into oncoming traffic but hugging the curbside, then so be it.</p>\n<p>I\'m only assuming it\'s illegal to ride your motorcycle in such a way of course. In a country where it\'s actually legal to ride a motorcycle on the footpath, regardless of how many human lives you\'re endangering, then I guess anything\'s possible.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I had let my guard down for a second, forgotten all about my green cross code - and the next thing I was flat on my back seeing stars.</p>\n<p>It\'s funny but when you\'re involved in an accident of this magnitude, a strange something happens, well before the pain kicks in. I\'m not saying that life passed in front of me or angels gathered to sing me all the way to Heaven (assuming that\'s where I will end up) but I definitely saw a few faces belonging to family and close friends. But this definitely wasn\'t the way I would have chosen to go - not right opposite my house as well.</p>\n<p>Eventually I picked myself up off the concrete footpath and realized I was still alive. The brain then goes through a sort of automatic checklist. Are my arms and legs still attached? Is there any blood? How much blood? And then the pain starts. And my God what a pain - my right arm was literally hanging off.</p>\n<p>Then of course there\'s the motorcyclist himself to deal with. He had by this time dismounted his motorcycle - or fallen off (I didn\'t really care) and now wore the worried expression of a man who had almost killed a foreigner (not something I\'m sure was on his agenda) He was quite clearly beside himself with remorse and I was in an emotional dilemma. I didn\'t know whether to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder and tell him that no serious damage had been done - or grab him by the scruff of the neck and batter the stupid prick senseless. I opted for the easy way out and held up my hand to signify I was still in the land of the living. And with that, the motorcyclist offered one more heartfelt apology and rode off - the wrong way up the street.</p>\n<p>I then staggered across the dual carriageway, fumbled for my keys with my remaining good arm and collapsed on the sofa in my mother-in-law\'s living room. It\'s times like this when you are truly thankful to have a mother-in-law who is a qualified nursing sister and once she had ascertained what happened, my arm was put in a makeshift sling and I was ordered to swallow the obligatory cure-all paracetamol tablets. She then phoned my wife at work to ask her to come home and take me to hospital.</p>\n<p>It was now that I realized my spoken Thai is sometimes woefully inadequate. I so desperately wanted to say \"please break the news gently. Tell my wife that her husband\'s had a little accident but he\'s OK. He should probably get checked out at the hospital though\"</p>\n<p>I just knew that my mother-in-law would break the news in the worst possible way. When my wife answered the phone, my mother-in-law shouted \"Phil\'s been hit by a motorcycle\" and left it at that. There wasn\'t even a but clause. I could hear my wife\'s phone hit the floor and I pictured her sprinting through the company reception area, perhaps knocking over a couple of security guards before sliding across the bonnet of her car the way they do in really bad cop shows. Whichever way she did it, she was home in minutes. We then drove to the nearest hospital in a manner the Dukes of Hazzard would have been proud of. Thankfully hospital x-rays showed there was no fracture and a kindly doctor told me the arm would heal in a month or two. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. This had definitely been a lucky escape.</p>\n<p>Later that evening, my wife and mother-in-law joined forces to quiz me intensely about the accident. I think my sister-in-law also stuck her oar in at one point. They all wanted to know why I had let the motorcyclist get away scot free. Why hadn\'t I performed a citizen\'s arrest and held him in an arm-lock until the police arrived? This was a guy who deserved to feel the full weight of the law. I just smiled. What fuckin\' law is that? This is a lawless land. The guy was riding the wrong way up a one-way street. Not only that, he was on a main dual carriageway without a crash helmet. Was his bike insured? Was it taxed? Was it even his bike? I know where my betting money is going.</p>\n<p>This is a country where I\'m convinced you have to let these incidents go and chalk them up to experience. Pursuing things &lsquo;legally\' and going down what you feel are the appropriate channels will just lead to frustration and despair. This is Thailand. It\'s a lawless land.</p>\n<p>Next door to the small compound on which I live is a single story shop-house which doubles as a car audio fitters. The business doesn\'t have a name but I refer to it as &lsquo;car audio for morons\'. The typical customer is a Thai male in his twenties with floppy hair and a knackered, rusty old car with go faster stripes and rear spoilers. Car Audio for Morons takes care of their ICE (their in-car entertainment) and this invariably involves fitting a cheap CD player and enormous stereo speakers with the acoustic output of a couple of Coke tins.</p>\n<p>The most disagreeable part - at least for the people who live within a ten-mile radius - is when the business owner tests out his workmanship by playing Thai rap music so loud that it has on occasion, forced our house to shake at its very foundations. Eardrum-bursting Thai rap music is something I will begrudgingly tolerate in short bursts from Monday to Friday during working hours - but not on lazy Sunday afternoons when I\'m enjoying quality time at home with my wife. Then I\'m afraid something has to be done.</p>\n<p>I\'ve lost count of the number of times that my wife has been out to the owner and stood in front of the shop, arms akimbo, with a &lsquo;what the hell do you think you are doing?\' expression on her face, but let me tell you this - it\'s a lot. And every single time, the business owner just shrugs his shoulders and says \"but it\'s my business\" before turning the music down a couple of notches from earthquake-inducing to merely ear-splitting.</p>\n<p>The noise got so bad at one stage a few years ago that we contacted a Thai lawyer to see what could be done. He explained that there was indeed a procedure one could go through if they suffered at the hands of noisy neighbors. It involved recording the noise levels on special equipment before eventually dragging the offender\'s ass through court. And how many years would it take and how much money would it cost before I could be photographed punching the air outside the courtroom as justice is finally served? Who knows? It\'s far easier to just appeal to the business owner\'s human side and hopefully make him appreciate that blasting out techno music at the weekend is not a very neighborly thing to do.</p>\n<p>In more.....ahem.... civilized countries you might even consider reporting such matters to the police. And lo and behold, we\'ve got a police control box situated just a hundred meters from our front gate. And that police box is manned 24/7. But I should point out that on the occasional Saturday night, the main road in front of our home becomes a race track for drunken motorcyclists and you won\'t guess where the starting grid is? That\'s right - directly opposite the police box. Doesn\'t fill you with much confidence in the local police force does it? They\'re sitting in the police box looking on as the motorcyclists rev up their engines. This is Thailand. It\'s a lawless land.</p>\n<p>Who can I point the finger of accusation at next? Condominium developers - they\'ll do.</p>\n<p>In front of our garden wall, between the wall and the public sidewalk, there is a small strip of land. It won\'t win any prizes in Gardening Weekly but I keep the grass well-trimmed and grow bougainvillea, which looks particularly nice at this time of year. It\'s obvious that the land is well-tended and furthermore, actually belongs to someone. But because that piece of land is on the main road and seen by thousands of motorists every day, it doesn\'t stop the evil condominium developers sending their gangs round in the dead of night to drive stakes into that private ground and affixing advertising hoardings to get some free advertising.</p>\n<p>The first few times it happened, I would take down the advertising - basically a poster tacked onto a plywood frame - smash it into several pieces, and then drive to the condominium development (it\'s only a couple of kilometers away) and dump it on the ground outside their sales office. Then I would go into the sales office and go for their staff like a rabid Rottweiler. After they had soaked up enough abuse, I was assured it would never happen again.</p>\n<p>It now happens virtually every week. There\'s hardly a Sunday morning I don\'t get up to find that a gang has come in the middle of the night and erected a new advertisement hoarding and trodden over my plants in the process. There ought to be a law against it right?&nbsp;Perhaps there is. But even my wife doesn\'t have the first clue about where to lodge a complaint. There is often&nbsp;no clearly defined system in terms of complaint procedure. And that applies to almost everything. It\'s all under wraps. It\'s like Thailand\'s little dark secret. It\'s a lawless land.</p>\n</p>','','2011-01-14 00:44:19',1,'2011-01-14 00:44:19','2011-01-14 14:02:20'),(3875,21,'Teacher Nightmares','teacher-nightmares','What happens when teaching in Thailand all goes horribly wrong','I started this section of the ajarn website because I simply felt it was needed.

I was never given any documentation by them or told anything with regards to my work permit. I signed a contract at my new school and thought everything would be OK but because I gave notice that I would not be continuing at the previous school, they did not give me the performance bonus that I had been promised.</p>\n<p>My visa expired at the end of the June and a friend told me that I had 24 hours to get out of the country. Shocked, I tried to find out as much as I could and I tried to exit the country on the weekend and was told I couldn\'t leave without a letter from the school stating the date I left the school. It was now getting on close to a month since I stopped working, although the contract finished later.</p>\n<p>I then tried to get a letter from the school and they refused to date the letter. I then hurriedly went down to The Department of Labor and cancelled my work permit. I was then told I had to go to immigration and apply for a 7 day extension which I did.</p>\n<p>When I got there they told me I had to pay a two-day overstay. For the day I supposedly resigned (the day before), and the day I was applying for the extension. I was not even given a day\'s grace. I had heard you had 24 hours to leave the country. Nope, I was given nothing. Not a week\'s grace. Not two week\'s grace. I then paid for the extension and the two-day overstay knowing that it could have been a lot worse. I was too tired to argue.</p>\n<p>But I have to say what shocks me is the lack of information surrounding this and the fact we are not even given a day\'s notice. We are expected to leave the country the day we are fired or leave our job no matter what the work permit says, no matter if you gave them notice.</p>\n<p>This sends a clear message that once they do not need you to be a teacher then you can get the hell out of the country. The only other option would be to cancel your work permit, which would take you a day, and maybe just maybe you could be on a bus or plane out of the country somewhere and you would then be charged not ONE day overstay but 2 days overstay despite the fact that you were in fact working the day before. How is it that there is such a lack of decency in this country? When you do the right thing, when you give notice that in the end you land up being screwed. It just amazes me that Thailand continues to operate as it does at will with no regard to the law, human decency and just good old plain honesty.</p>\n<p>I have to say that this experience really shows me what Thai people think of foreigners. We are fine to buy houses, get married or come here on holiday or teach their kids, but once finished, then get the hell out of the country the same day you are fired or leave your job.</p>\n<p>After a year of being at the school, I was not given one days grace, Not even one. And I have to say that the farang management are just as bad as the Thai\'s. They do not have the balls to stand up to their bosses or the decency to inform people of this. It really reflects poorly on Thailand and Thai culture and their real attitude towards us foreigners. I have since met other foreigners who had this done to them. The school kept their work permit and refused to give them a letter and they could not leave the country. Finally in the end when they left (a month or so later) they were charged the maximum amount overstay or 20,000 Baht.</p>\n<p>What is it with the school system in this country? It is like you do not have to choice but to work at the school under their terms and conditions and if you do not, then they are unhappy. Even when they are at fault or have refused or failed to organize you with the right documentation. If you think you can find something better or do not like some things about the school and decide to move on there are such sour grapes they will do everything to be vindictive. Just like the schooling system here. Most of it is about the money and little about human decency.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>May 2011 - This is a rather strange tale of a teacher who becomes ostracized at a job interview simply because she asks for a tour of the school facility.</strong></p>\n<p>My story starts with a fairly well-known teaching agency that recruits teachers to work in government schools in Southern Thailand. They are obviously a reasonably large operation. You see their job ads on many TEFL recruitment websites.</p>\n<p>I visited the agent\'s office in early November 2010 and again in April of this year. On both occasions they told me that they had no vacancies, despite my very strong academic background. I was more than qualified for any of the positions that they supposedly offered. Incidentally, the day after my second visit, the agent placed a job ad on various websites, looking for five teachers to fill positions immediately.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t fathom what was going on here. The company wasn\'t interested in me conducting a demo lesson or submitting a detailed lesson plan. They weren\'t interested in references or even putting me under some kind of consideration. I had obviously upset someone and decided to probe deeper and ask a few questions of my own.</p>\n<p>The owner of the agency eventually opened up about the underlying problem. He described me as &lsquo;weird and aggressive\' and said I was virtually unemployable. When I asked why he would say such a thing, he referred to my visit to their offices last November when I had asked for a tour of the new facility (the agent had recently opened up new training premises) My exact words on that day were \"Wow! What an amazing center. Could I have a little tour and see some of the classrooms?\"</p>\n<p>The owner of the agency described this as &lsquo;aggressive\' and going against Thai cultural norms. I responded by saying that I had never been refused such a request in the past. Most schools were only to happy to show off their facilities. The owner then described the request as &lsquo;weird\'.</p>\n<p>Oh well. This is the first time I\'ve ever been penalized for showing enthusiasm and initiative.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>April 2011 - The story of a great teacher who suddenly becomes an \'unwanted teacher\' when a big swinging dick strolls into town.</strong></p>\n<p>My Thailand horror story happened last year. I applied for a position at an international school. The advertisement was in Thai-ized English, but I didn\'t mind. I came over from Australia, helped them voluntarily at their summer school and then continued working at the start of term teaching science and social Studies because they were desperate for a teacher. I am an economics/history graduate with a couple of Masters, but not really qualified to teach science. I am a fully qualified teacher with many years experience and was planning to bring my (Thai) family back to Thailand after the great welcome we got from the school (initially).</p>\n<p>Then a younger American with a PhD turned up as the principal. A Google search showed me that most of what he said was crap and he was a refugee from a failed financial business course in the USA.</p>\n<p>As the school was trying to get international status with a rather complex \'middle American\' syllabus - even though most of the kids had little grasp of English - this man was obviously going to pull a few strings to get them through. The fly in his ointment was me - the only qualified teacher on his staff AND as I had a military pension, was also not dependent on my salary as his other four (degree only) teachers were. I was also unhelpful by suggesting we really needed some remedial English specialists to help the kids. I suspect this was my mistake and where being a \'threat\' grew from.</p>\n<p>So in a week, I went from being \'a great teacher with a military background\' to somebody who needed to move down to their primary school level. In fact the school had been interviewing a science graduate during the week, as if I didn\'t notice. So I walked away. Despite many people suggesting I hold them to my contract, the legend of the mayor including his supposed gangster background did discourage me. The experience of others on Ajarn shows I would have been wasting my vindication of sorts.</p>\n<p>It was a valuable lesson. The friendly Thais, as mentioned in one other story, all but disappeared. It was a real eye opener for me even though I had heard and read many stories not so different to my experience. This more than anything else disappointed me. I had a backup plan but I was trying to \'give something back to Thailand\'.</p>\n<p>I did recently get some satisfaction seeing the headmaster position advertised on Ajarn, in Thai-ized English again, and can only wonder what happened to my \'nemesis\'?</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>February 2011 -&nbsp;The story of a teacher who found himself a dream job at a dream school. But mid-way through the second semester,&nbsp;his colleagues\' smiles and laughter&nbsp;disappear. And replaced&nbsp;by&nbsp;cold-hearted sneers and&nbsp;silence.</strong></p>\n<p>After one year spent working at a government school, I got a job offer to work at a private school about an hour outside Bangkok. At the beginning everything went well. It seemed like a dream job at a dream school. All the paperwork for the visa and work permit was processed within a couple of weeks. I even got a higher salary than I had been promised at the interview. On top of all that, I got on well with my fellow teachers and the students seemed to like me.</p>\n<p>My good fortune continued throughout the first semester. I could go home whenever I wanted as long as I had no further lessons to teach on that day (and this was agreed in my contract) The Thai staff were always helpful and I got along with everyone. In fact I was so happy with the situation that I started an English Club as a &lsquo;thank you\' for all the faith and support that my employers had shown me.</p>\n<p>Then in the second semester, it all started to go pear-shaped. The school principal, teaching colleagues and Thai staff members became cold towards me. There were no more smiles or friendly chats or small gifts of food. Something was definitely wrong but I had no idea what it was. I turned up at school on time every day and was never ever late for class.</p>\n<p>The principal started to make unfair demands. I was asked to do gate duty twice a week and meet and greet parents. OK no big deal but it clearly said in my signed contract that I would not be required to do it. The Thai management complained that I played too many games in class. They also put an end to my going home when I had no lessons to teach. They wanted me to stay at school all the time - lessons or no lessons. The final straw came when I was ticked off for walking around the school grounds while eating an ice cream. I was told in no uncertain terms that I had to be seated when eating an ice cream. I mean just how petty is that?</p>\n<p>Suddenly my dream school had turned into the school from Hell.</p>\n<p>It became blatantly obvious that the school wanted me out. They wanted my plums on a skewer and a resignation letter to boot. However, I continued working to the best of my ability. The atmosphere was horrible but I just kept me head down and aimed to see out my contract.</p>\n<p>My refusing to play them at their own game seemed to rile them and they hit me where it hurts most - in the pocket. They refused to pay me for my last month of work and also for two month\'s holiday (all guaranteed according to the contract)</p>\n<p>When I approached the principal about these pay issues, I couldn\'t get a straight answer. I decided to go and see The Ministry of Labor. The Ministry advised me to sue the school and assured me that I had a valid case.</p>\n<p>Armed with the support of The Labor Ministry, I sauntered back into school to face my employers again. This time I was confident the pay issue would be resolved. It wasn\'t.</p>\n<p>When I told the principal about my visit to The Ministry and the advice I had been given, she played her trump card. She produced no fewer than seven witnesses (including janitors and cooks) all ready to testify that I had physically assaulted the principal. My Thai partner was with me at the time - and she couldn\'t believe what she was hearing either.</p>\n<p>I knew straight away that the game was over. What chance did I have against a school principal that I had supposedly attacked and actually punched with my fists? And what chance did I have now that she had a little band of merry men on her devil\'s pay-roll?</p>\n<p>I was angry and upset with the Thai system for allowing things to get to this stage. I packed my bags, said goodbye to Thailand and headed back to the UK</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>February 2011 - Here is a case of what can happen when a teacher breaks a contract (at least in the eyes of the employer)&nbsp;and the relationship between teacher and employer then becomes positively hostile.</strong></p>\n<p>I managed to secure a position with a teacher placement agency somewhere out in the boonies, but after several months of employment, I received a job offer from abroad. Needless to say, it was a far better benefits and salary package than the one I was working for in Thailand. So I decided to tender my resignation by e-mail.</p>\n<p>Even though the job offer from abroad made up my mind for me, I had become disillusioned with the agency position for several reasons. Firstly, I was still working on a tourist visa and having to pay for visa runs out of my own pocket. Secondly, I had never received the salary that the agent and I agreed upon in the original interview, and finally, I was offered nothing in the way of health insurance. As bad luck would have it, I became ill for a short time and had to pay all the medical expenses myself.</p>\n<p>In short, I felt that I was going nowhere and constantly had to dip into my savings to maintain what I felt was just an existence.</p>\n<p>The contract I signed with the agent stated that I had to give an eight-week notice period if I wanted to terminate my employment. However, I could only give a couple of weeks because the new employer wanted me there as soon as possible.</p>\n<p>I put all this information in a well-written, polite e-mail and waited for my employer to respond. When the response came, it was short and sweet, but the agent clearly said that he accepted my resignation on a particular date and I would be paid accordingly. So far so good.</p>\n<p>However, things took an unsavory turn for the worse when I found myself at the school in the company of both the agent (my employer) and one of the school\'s senior Thai staff. I decided (rather foolishly in hindsight) to take the opportunity to confirm with the agent that I would indeed be paid for the hours worked and that I could leave the job on a particular date.</p>\n<p>Without any warning whatsoever, the agent flew into a rage. I was astounded by the level of hostility and anger that was suddenly being directed towards me - and I decided to remove myself from the situation.</p>\n<p>I sent the agent another very polite e-mail. I apologized if he felt I had spoken out of turn or perhaps made him lose face by bringing up the subject in front of a Thai staff member. I didn\'t want the agent thinking I doubted his intention to pay the salary I was owed. I also apologized for taking sick leave and informing the school of my absence and not the agent as well. I also made it clear that leaving mid-term was something I truly didn\'t want to do and I appreciated the difficult situation I was putting the agent in - and the fact he would now have to go out and find a replacement teacher.</p>\n<p>That said, I wasn\'t technically breaking the contract or at least I didn\'t feel that I was. I would actually be leaving to start my new job on the very last day of my three-month probation period.</p>\n<p>I got no reply to the e-mail and it took me several phone calls before the agent finally agreed to deposit the money into my bank account.</p>\n<p>Having gone through my contract again, I then sent another lengthy e-mail outlining exactly how much I felt I was owed. I wasn\'t demanding money. I was simply referring to the terms of the contract and asking for what I felt was rightfully mine.</p>\n<p>I got a terse response from the agent saying only that he didn\'t approve of my attitude and that he would like to meet in person. I immediately e-mailed the agent and apologized if my communication had been misconstrued. I certainly hadn\'t meant it that way. I told the agent I would be more than happy to meet face-to-face. All he had to do was name a time and a place.</p>\n<p>The agent got back to me with an appointed date, time and location and I agreed to meet him there. Cometh the day of the appointment, I waited over an hour and the agent never showed up. I also made several calls to his phone but without success.</p>\n<p>When I emailed the agent later that day, the agent claimed he had shown up at the meeting place and waited himself for well over an hour. I started to realize that I was probably never going to see my money. I made several e-mail attempts to calm the situation down but the only replies I got from the agent were threatening.</p>\n<p>I decided to play my last trump card. I had been advised to go and see the Ministry of Labor in Bangkok. At The Ministry, they were extremely helpful and said that I certainly had a case. They couldn\'t even find a record of this particular agent being properly registered.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, fighting for the money was going to take time. If I wanted to go all the way and claim a lawful ten times the amount I was owed, the case could take anything up to two years. If I wanted to claim only the money I was owed according to the contract, it would take several weeks.</p>\n<p>Time was something I didn\'t have on my side. With the new job starting in a week or two, I had to wave the money goodbye and put it down to experience.</p>\n<p>As a footnote, when I contacted the agent to tell him I had been to see the Ministry of Labor and I made one last ditch attempt to obtain my salary, all I got was e-mails and text messages containing abuse, threats and more abuse.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I\'m in possession of the e-mail exchange between the teacher and agent in this sorry tale, and as you can probably guess, while the teacher\'s e-mails are professional and neutral in tone, the agent\'s e-mails leave rather a lot to be desired - and that\'s putting it mildly. I find it hard to believe that someone in the education business, someone who is responsible for recruiting teachers for schools and depends on getting a good name and reputation, would communicate in such an aggressive manner.</p>\n<p>To provide a little balance, I\'ve had to dig deep to try and conjure up a shred of sympathy for the employer. And I\'m not sure that I can. There are a few points I would like to add though.</p>\n<p>Firstly, try and avoid resigning from a job by sending an e-mail, or worse still a text message. This is always going to be a delicate situation and it\'s a time when you need to sit down with your employer and thrash things out face-to-face. Sometimes e-mail communication just doesn\'t cut it. It\'s easier said than done of course if you have the kind of employer who switches off their phone and simply refuses to meet with you. There are plenty of people who will always take the cowardly way out.</p>\n<p>Secondly, break a teaching contract only as a very last resort. Even if it\'s a job that you positively can\'t stand, just keep your head down and somehow get through those remaining months.</p>\n<p>I realize that the teacher in our story above is an exception because he can probably rightly argue that he left within his probation period. But no one knows if the employer had the teacher earmarked to continue beyond that probation period. It still put the agent in a fix and in the position of having to find another teacher. I\'ve been in that position in the past when I worked as an academic director and in charge of teacher recruitment. When decent teachers suddenly jump ship, it causes all sorts of problems.</p>\n<p>However, sometimes you\'ve got to look after number one. You get an offer of a much better job and frankly, you would be a fool to turn it down. Employers need to understand that as well - particularly those that don\'t offer attractive teaching packages - because we\'re all striving to better ourselves and improve our quality of life. That\'s just the way it is.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>February 2011 - Here is an almost unbelievable tale from a teacher who found work with an agency and the story highlights the dangers of having no degree and arriving in Thailand seriously underfunded. This is the teacher\'s account of things.</strong></p>\n<p>About four months ago, A teaching agency offered me a teaching position on the outskirts of Bangkok. Come the day I was due to make an appearance at the actual school where I was hopefully going to start working, I was driven, against my will, to a province several hours from Bangkok. This was certainly not what I had agreed to.</p>\n<p>Let me say first of all that I have no degree. I come from a European country that has a very different degree system to Thailand, America, etc but I am currently studying in a degree program and only the thesis remains.</p>\n<p>When we got to the school, I found out that the agent had lied to the school about my Thailand work history. Before I went into the interview, the agent asked me to play along with the story. I was reluctant to do so but was desperate for a job and had no money at all to travel back to Bangkok myself. I was definitely stuck between a rock and a hard place.</p>\n<p>There were four people in the interview room; me, the agent, the school director and school department head. I made it quite clear to everyone that I had no degree. In fact at that stage, I decided I didn\'t want the job at all because it was so far away from Bangkok. I tried my best to flunk the interview but the school was obviously so desperate for a teacher, they agreed to take me on. The school then gave me the necessary paperwork to obtain a non-immigrant B visa from a Thai consulate in a neighboring country.</p>\n<p>I started work at the school but at the end of my first month, there were problems with my salary. Another teacher had told the school that it was illegal to work without a degree and the school took the story to heart and decided not to pay the agent. That meant of course that I didn\'t get paid either. Fortunately I was able to receive a good chunk of the salary when some kind-hearted teachers loaned money to the agency. The school informed me that I could pose as a student and everything would be OK from then on. So I got documentation from my university back home and had it sent to both the school and the agency.</p>\n<p>However, at the end of the second month, the same happened again. I received no salary. Again, the school refused to pay the agent. This time they used the &lsquo;no degree\' excuse along with a claim that my paperwork was not in order.</p>\n<p>I asked the agent for copies of my contract but nothing happened.</p>\n<p>By this time my non-immigrant B visa was running out and I still hadn\'t received a work permit. When I made enquiries, the school told me it was the agent\'s responsibility and the agent blamed it on the school.</p>\n<p>The school produced a document for me to sign. The document stated that I had received X amount of money in salary (which I hadn\'t) I needed money desperately and luckily a couple of teachers dipped into their own pockets and gave me enough to see me through the rest of the month.</p>\n<p>In the end I just decided to walk out. The worst part is that now the agency is threatening to sue me for giving them a bad name. I feel as if I\'m at the end of my tether.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Phew! What a story. You might have the most fertile of imaginations, but you couldn\'t make this stuff up could you?&nbsp; OK, first things first. I\'ve completely re-written the above account as it was sent to me over the course of several e-mails. Although the teacher in question has a decent command of English, he is not a native speaker and his written English fell well short of what I would consider native speaker standard. As a result, the actual flow of the story and the details were very difficult to follow in places. I hope I\'ve managed to capture the gist of things at least.</p>\n<p>So.......hmmmmm...........I don\'t really know where to start. I feel a mixture of sympathy for the teacher because he\'s gone through such a hard time, but I also feel like giving him a bloody good shake. I\'m constantly amazed by the trouble teachers are getting themselves into with some of these teaching agencies.</p>\n<p>The story certainly highlights the dangers of just rolling up in Thailand and looking for a teaching job with no degree and no money in your pocket. And thinking everything is going to be OK. Ten years ago this approach might have worked. But those days are long gone. And of course you\'re also throwing the label of &lsquo;non-native speaker\' into the mix (not that I think this was the cause of the teacher\'s problems)</p>\n<p>The teacher talks about being taken to a school &lsquo;against his will\'. I imagine the teacher\'s mouth being covered in masking tape and being bundled into the boot of a car. I asked the teacher about this part of the story and he claims he was driven out of Bangkok in a fast car. So this wasn\'t just a teaching agency - they were kidnappers!</p>\n<p>I asked the teacher if he had done any research at all on teaching in Thailand, given the fact he was a non-native teacher, had no degree, and had no money. Credit where it\'s due, the teacher was honest enough to admit he could and should have researched things better.</p>\n<p>I\'m just amazed that the teacher talks about &lsquo;a second month\' and &lsquo;a third month\' when warning signs had been flashing in front of him from day one. That\'s the time to walk out. Not three months down the line.</p>\n<p>The part about both the agent and school blaming each other when the work permit didn\'t materialize really says it all for me. It\'s clear that both parties were dripping with incompetence.</p>\n<p>And as for the business about the agent wagging a finger and screaming \"I\'m going to sue you\" for whatever reason, 99 times out of a hundred it\'s just a load of piss and wind. It\'s someone who has lost face venting their anger in the only way they know. Sue you for what exactly? You were refused to be shown your contract. You received no salary. You got no work permit. Sue you for giving the agency a bad name? How on earth could you give the agency a worse name than it\'s already got.</p>\n<p>If you fancy a little more reading before you go on to the next teacher nightmare, Jason Alavi wrote two excellent blogs for ajarn.com back in 2008. Despite being a couple of years old, the blogs are still as relevent today if not more so. Jason himself has run a very respected teacher placement agency for a number of years. In the first blog, he talks about w<a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-lowdown-on-teacher-agencies/\">hy some teacher placement agencies are bad to work for,</a> and in the second blog, he gives valid reasons why teacher placement agencies (the good ones) c<a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-flipside-of-teacher-agencies/\">an be a good option for new arrivals in Thailand.</a></p>\n<p>For even more reading, I wrote a<a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-agencies/\">n article about teaching agencies </a>back in 2006.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>January 2011 - I got this short e-mail from a female teacher working in Cha\'am. The teacher is fairly new to the country I believe.</strong></p>\n<p>Without telling me, my employer deducted 20,000 baht from my salary and says it will be returned after I have completed&nbsp;12 months of&nbsp;service&nbsp;with him. The job offer over the phone was for 24 hours a week paid hourly. Once here in person the contract I signed was only for 18 hours a week, which&nbsp;has now&nbsp;dwindled to 13 hours a week and will soon be just&nbsp;4 hours. All with a&nbsp;90-minute commute each way. This is not the contract I signed up for! Please help me...anything, anything...I\'m drowning. I don\'t even have a copy of the contract&nbsp;I signed and I\'m having trouble getting one from them</p>\n<hr />\n<p>As in any \'teacher nightmare\' case, it\'s often impossible to get the whole story. One or two people have expressed the notion that the employer might have financial difficulties. I\'ve since&nbsp;found out that the employer has been in the business of supplying teachers to schools for over a decade, so&nbsp;I think the financial difficulty scenario, although plausible, is unlikely. A few other&nbsp;people have advised the teacher to simply walk away and chalk it up to experience. I would probably say the same thing if we were talking about a few thousand baht but 20,000 baht is a fair chunk of change, especially when you are living and working out in the sticks. I would certainly contact the Ministry of Labor in Bangkok and see&nbsp;if anything can be done. As I\'ve said elsewhere on this website, the Ministry of Labor are extremely pro-employee. They have helped a lot of teachers claim what is rightfully theirs in the past.</p>\n<p>This particular \'teacher nightmare\' does raise two important points though. Firstly, no matter how desperate you are for a teaching job, don\'t just accept the first thing that comes along without doing as much research as humanly possible. I am genuinely&nbsp;surprised that the teacher seemingly didn\'t ask around and find other teachers who had worked for this company. Surely they were&nbsp;not that hard to find in such a small town. Again, I strongly suspect this was a case of taking the first job available.</p>\n<p>Secondly, it\'s important that your world doesn\'t come crashing&nbsp;down around your ears when you\'re suddenly stiffed out of a largish sum of money. It\'s important to have a parachute fund or a bit of \'floorboard money\' as I often call it. Years ago, there was a popular book called \'Teach English Around The World\' and the author championed the idea of arriving in a strange country, without a dollar in your pocket, and letting your sense of adventure take you the rest of the way. I thought it was a ridiculous suggestion 20 years ago, but in Thailand 2011, you would&nbsp;be plain crazy to adopt such a plan. If you are thinking about coming to teach English&nbsp;in Thailand, get as much money behind you as you can. Just in case that first teaching job doesn\'t turn out&nbsp;as you hoped. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/nightmares.jpg','2011-06-18 03:52:47',1,'2011-06-18 03:52:47','2017-06-18 07:07:48'),(3904,108,'What about high blood pressure?','what-about-high-blood-pressure','Always be \'up front\' with your health insurer about high blood pressure','Last year we had a couple of fairly recent applicants get hospitalized.

When eventually caught and confronted about this, they express surprise that mentioning it was really that important.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Their rationale for not mentioning it was that it happened rarely, or happened only once, and that anyone would get a high reading in a similar situation. Therefore, they didn\'t really feel that it was necessary to mention it. Unfortunately,&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">health insurance companies</a><span>&nbsp;strongly disagree with them on this..</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Last year we had a couple of fairly recent applicants get hospitalized. Their hospitalization had something to do with their history of hypertension (high blood pressure), among other things, which they neglected to mention when filling out their health applications. The insurance company was quite upset. They refused to pay their claims and promptly cancelled their policies. They did refund their premiums, though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>A couple of other insureds who had their insurance for nearly two years sought treatment for something unrelated to hypertension. But, while they were being treated, the insurance company discovered that they had also had a history of hypertension which they had failed to mention when they applied for the insurance. Although they had had the insurance for nearly 2 years, the insurance company made them each complete a new application and resubmit it for reevaluation. The start date for their coverage would be the date that they resubmitted their corrected application.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One client explained that his \"fear of doctors\" was the only reason that his blood pressure ever increased. The reading only got higher than normal when it was checked at a medical facility by a medical practitioner. When he checked it himself, at home, the reading was never higher than normal. That is why he never mentioned the reading in the doctor\'s office. He felt that this high reading is normal for anyone who is nervous about visiting doctors. He doesn\'t feel that it has anything to do with him having a blood pressure problem.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>To some extent, he is right. While surfing the Internet looking for the \"causes of hypertension\", I discovered a form of hypertension called \"white-coat\" (or office) hypertension. It refers to blood pressure that rises above its usual level when it is measured in a clinic setting, such as a doctor\'s office, where a nurse or doctor may be wearing a white lab coat. If a number of blood pressure checks are made during the visit, the blood pressure readings start going down and may even reach \"normal.\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">High blood is broken down into two forms. These are described as \"essential (or primary) hypertension\" and \"secondary hypertension\". Essential hypertension is a far more common condition and accounts for 95% of hypertension. The cause of essential hypertension is multi-factorial, that is, there are several factors whose combined effects produce hypertension. In secondary hypertension, which accounts for 5% of hypertension, the high blood pressure is secondary to (caused by) a specific abnormality in one of the organs or systems of the body. White-coat hypertension falls under the category of secondary hypertension.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>All well and good; but, what actually causes hypertension and how can it be cured? The truth is that medical science really doesn\'t know. All they really know is how to control it. And, they know that if it gets out of control it can destroy vital parts of your body, particularly your heart, and it can kill you.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In secondary-hypertension there are triggers that activate the cause of hypertension. These triggers don\'t activate hypertension in most people and only a select few have this problem. For most people, fear of doctors doesn\'t cause their blood pressure to increase when they have it checked by a medical professional. Cigarette smoking can also activate hypertension in some smokers, but not in most smokers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Many people just experience \"borderline\" hypertension where the reading is just a little above normal.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In any case, the health insurance companies want to know about this because, if you don\'t keep your blood pressure under control, it will very probably become a serious problem for you in the future as you get older. And, your problem will become your health insurer\'s problem.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Yes, health insurance companies will&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.com/plans/information/exclusions/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">exclude coverage</a><span>&nbsp;for testing, medication and treatment of hypertension if you mention any higher than normal blood pressure readings. But that really shouldn\'t matter if you keep your blood pressure under control.

On the other hand, announced observations are easy to handle because the teacher can prepare a little bit more. This does not mean that the teacher is not ready to be observed or has no preparation time, but it\'s more \'exciting\' because the teacher wants to&nbsp;do their best.</p>\n<p>The situation reminds me of the fox in \"The Little Prince\" by Antoine de Saint Exupery. \"When you pay a visit, I like that you tell me ahead of time so that hours or minutes before you come I will be excited.\"&nbsp;This goes for teacher observations too in a way.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If observations&nbsp;are a way of&nbsp;snooping and catching teachers out&nbsp;, I think it defeats the real purpose. I&nbsp;have always had&nbsp;a lot of assurances from my supervisors that I should not worry about them observing me because they are simply&nbsp;there to help.</p>\n<p>We can\'t deny the fact that some institutions use observations as a tool to get rid of undesirable employees. But genuine observations are&nbsp;supposed to be an ideal tool for assessing the performance of teachers -&nbsp;in particular for more purposeful objectives like salary increases, promotions and commendations.</p>\n<p>However, despite the benefits observations bring, they also cause needless worry, extreme anxiousness, big disappointments, a little discomfort, and a general&nbsp;feeling of uneasiness. They are a bit of a nuisance to many teachers.</p>\n<p>So what is an observation? What is it for?</p>\n<p>Observation in schools focus on two aspects - teachers and students.</p>\n<p>Student observations focus on student performance, participation, behavior, problems, growth, and student-related agenda. The observer only assesses the students and the teacher is not the object of scrutiny. Teacher observation, on the other hand, focuses on the teacher - personality, teaching effectiveness, communication, mastery of the subject taught, strategies employed , assessment of students, etc.</p>\n<p>Observations can be formal or informal. Informal ones are those that last for a few minutes like almost&nbsp;drop-in visits. But these visits are still significant&nbsp;because the supervisor may take down notes and later give written or oral feedback, either positive or negative, after the visit. An informal observation doesn\'t need to be followed by a post conference.</p>\n<p>Formal observations on the other hand&nbsp;are more serious.&nbsp;They are usually&nbsp;announced in advance&nbsp;and the supervisor may use video, an observation checklist or a prepared evaluation form. This is usually culminated by a scheduled one-on-one post conference where feedback is given and the teacher may have the opportunity to react&nbsp;to the supervisor\'s comments.</p>\n<p>Many times we hear teachers say, \"I had a very high rating yet I was bombarded with a lot of comments. Why is it like that?\"</p>\n<p>Teachers mustn\'t question this. The supervisor is only doing the job they are paid to do. If no comments are given, congratulate yourself, it means that the supervisor likes the lesson you presented, or perhaps, your teaching is acceptable to his/her standard.</p>\n<p>I think this is what we have to accept. The supervisor has to play the&nbsp;superior role because \"the supervisor is a supervisor.\" Some supervisors have pride in their job. Therefore, they&nbsp;have to show&nbsp;that they are&nbsp;better than the teacher.</p>\n<p>If you&nbsp;want to grow in your profession, take your supervisor\'s comments on board. No matter how excellent we are as a teacher, when we teach, we are not in&nbsp;a position to see our teaching strengths and weaknesses. It takes another person to do this and that is the role of&nbsp;our supervisor.</p>\n<p>One good thing&nbsp;to do so that you won\'t have any fear of being observed, is to&nbsp;invite your supervisor to visit you&nbsp;during one of&nbsp;your interesting lessons. Your supervisor will be glad to accept this invitation. Try it next time.</p>\n<p>The second time around, when your supervisor comes into your class, I am sure that it will be different... The \'supervision blues\' will pass away and teaching will be a lot more fun -&nbsp;even with supervisors around. What are you waiting for, invite your supervisor now.</p>\n<p>So do you know now what I answered? You\'re right.

Or can all of us, teachers included, benefit from thinking and acting like an entrepreneur? Can a teacher think like an entrepreneur without starting his or her own school?</p>\n<p>Think about it for a moment, when you go to work, who are you really working for? Your organization or school? Or are you working for your own benefit? How long would you continue to work for your school if you didn\'t get paid?</p>\n<p>However we need to also realize we work for more than a paycheck. Work can provide us with multiple tangible and intangible benefits. In addition to meeting our material needs, work can provide us with social standing, a feeling of self-worth and a feeling of contributing to society. Few people choose the teaching profession for the financial rewards only, but often teachers place a higher value on many of the intangible benefits that come with a position in the profession.</p>\n<p>Those who take an entrepreneurial approach are not only interesting in making money, but also in increasing the intangible benefits one receives.</p>\n<p>Teaching has traditionally been primarily associated with government employment and the non-profit sector, but times are changing. Budget cut-backs are pushing more education into the private sector, or for government and non-profit schools to behave more like private firms. For example, in higher education we are seeing a higher percentage of students than ever before attending for-profit schools and universities and colleges around the world are increasing the use of more cost efficient adjunct professors while tenure track positions are continuously becoming rarer.</p>\n<p>As teachers, we can bemoan the situation and complain, or we can see the opportunities and take advantage of them, but regardless of an individual\'s reaction to these changes, these changes will most likely continue and the clock will not be turned back.</p>\n<p>It is felt there are two basic approaches one can take with one\'s career, the employee approach and the entrepreneurial approach. While these two approaches are seen throughout society, I will focus on the teaching profession.</p>\n<p>In the employee approach a teacher thinks like an employee. The teacher thinks about working for the school, and feels dependent upon the employer for advancement and opportunities for skill development. A teacher with an employee approach to a career will have an expectation that an employer has a paternalistic obligation to provide certain benefits to employees. With the employee approach, one feels the employer has the majority of the power in the relationship.</p>\n<p>A teacher with an entrepreneurial approach thinks like a business owner whose main product for sale is his or her skills. The teacher thinks about working for him or herself, and feels responsibility for his or her own advancement and skill development. A teacher with an entrepreneurial approach to a career will always keep options open and will seek to improve his or her attractiveness to employers and therefore can negotiate for more benefits with either current or future employers. With the entrepreneurial approach, one feels an employment relationship has to be a win-win situation for both parties and power in the relationship is more or less equal.</p>\n<p>A teacher with an employee approach waits for things to happen, a teacher with an entrepreneurial approach tries to make things happen. A teacher with an entrepreneurial approach sees him or herself as an independent contractor, and not as a subordinate in a hierarchy.</p>\n<p>It is felt teachers who decide to take an entrepreneurial approach will normally have more fulfilling careers and will gain more tangible and intangible benefits than teachers who take the employee approach.</p>\n<p>The following are suggestions on how a teacher can take an entrepreneurial approach to a career.</p>\n<p><strong>1. Education</strong></p>\n<p>I am often amazed at the number of English teachers who show a disdain for higher education and \"book learning.\" Sure you don\'t need a college degree to have a successful start-up internet company like Facebook or Microsoft, but you won\'t get to be President of Harvard without one. While research does show a strong correlation between average wages and level of education, there are many professions where one can advance without higher levels of education, but the education \"industry\" is not one of them. Study, both through formal programs and in informal ways. If you plan to make a career in education, the number and level of degrees matter, as does the knowledge one possesses, and therefore one should work on pursuing higher levels of education and constantly work to increase one\'s level of expertise.</p>\n<p>For those interested, a previous blog post addressed the issue of <a href=\"/blogs/scott-hipsher/expatriates-higher-education-and-globalization/\">seeking higher education without leaving Thailand</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Moonlight</strong></p>\n<p>There are many advantages coming from moonlighting. It is hard for most English teachers, especially those with families, to make it on a single salary in Thailand (or the US or UK for that matter) so the extra income is always welcome. But there are other benefits as well. Working in more than one place increases experience levels and increases one\'s social network and knowledge about the industry as a whole. Also, it is likely to happen to everyone at least once in a life to find oneself unexpectedly without a full-time job and the part time job can keep the wolves from the door (no unemployment insurance for most English teachers in Thailand) until a new full-time position can be secured.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Explore new worlds.</strong></p>\n<p>Who says a teacher has to only teach? Turn off the TV and try new things outside of teaching, such as editing, writing, starting a website or blog, or maybe open your own small business. Who knows, one of these activities might take off and give an individual employment options in addition to teaching. At the very least, they will make one\'s life more interesting and make one a more interesting person, as the grammar structures of sentences is usually not the most popular topic at a cocktail party.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Put on a pair of rose-colored glasses.</strong></p>\n<p>Every teachers\' room I have ever been in has its share of negativity. Avoid it. One can spend a lifetime listening to \"old hands\" rant and gripe about Thailand (or China or other places where one is working), the Thai Educational system, Thai Students, ESL teaching, the weather, the traffic, capitalism, socialism, bar closing times, and an endless supply of other topics. Enroll in a degree program in a Thai university and there will be no shortage of people telling you that you are wasting your money as everyone knows a Thai degree is worthless. Enroll in an online degree program and it is guaranteed many fellow teachers will try to belittle you and tell you that online education is not real education. Try writing a novel and if you share it with others expect an avalanche of criticisms. Try to start a business in Thailand and I would bet dollars to donuts that you would hear from dozens of people that it is impossible for a Farang to have a successful business in Thailand due to corruption and shady business practices of the Thais.</p>\n<p>A person with an entrepreneurial attitude will ignore most of the negativity, or at least try to filter out the comments from individuals who feel threatened by individuals trying to make things happen from comments from those with good intentions.</p>\n<p>Negativity is not part of any recipe for success, although prior failure often is. So don\'t let a fear of failure prevent you from making an effort to make something new and exciting happen. We often learn more from our failures than our successes.</p>\n<p>So, don\'t waste your time in the gripe sessions in the teachers\' room, instead work on something productive and fun. Avoid negative people, and there is no shortage of them in the teaching profession in Thailand. Negativity saps energy and ambition, instead put on those rose colored glasses and seek out those with a smile on their faces and an optimistic outlook for support.</p>\n</p>\n<p>The conclusion, take charge of your own career, because if you don\'t , who will?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2011-01-30 17:37:04',1,'2011-01-30 17:37:04','2011-01-31 07:07:05'),(4195,52,'February 2011','february-2011','News, specials and competitions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Fancy taking your TEFL course in Thailand?

For many it’s either a case of seeking out pastures new or returning home to a country they left behind a long time ago.','<p>Well, we\'re barely a month or two into the year 2015 - and while it\'s always difficult to predict how Thailand\'s TEFL industry will shape up in the coming months, in terms of job vacancies, etc - I am definitely noticing one very disturbing trend. I am getting inundated with teachers asking if I can help find them work. And the teacher group that seems to be suffering more than any other in these uncertain economic times is those over the age of fifty.</p>\n<h3>Sad stories</h3>\n<p>Many of the e-mails I receive border on heartbreaking. I truly wish I could do more to help but all I can offer in most cases is a sympathetic ear. These are older teachers who have made their life in Thailand, perhaps even got married and raised children, and are now contemplating the unthinkable. Leaving the home they love.</p>\n<p>For many it\'s either a case of seeking out pastures new in countries such as China, where the more mature teacher seems to be welcomed with open arms, or uprooting their family and returning home to a country they abandoned a long time ago - a country they no longer recognize or feel a part of.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, these are not unqualified teachers who have spent the last decade bouncing from private language school to private language school picking up a few hours here and there. In many cases, their resumes indicate a long work history of quality employment in the academic sector. Many have been lecturers, professors and trainers at universities and top-end language institutes and held positions of considerable responsibility.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/bin.gif\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>It\'s almost as if Thailand has brought in a new rule while my back has been turned - no teachers over the age of fifty thank you very much.</p>\n<h3>Where to next?</h3>\n<p>It\'s natural that many of these older teachers, having invested much of their lives immersed in SE Asian culture, would want to stay in the region. But what are the options? China seems to be a fairly attractive proposition as mentioned earlier. Many TEFLers have swopped Thailand for China and consider it to be the best move they ever made.</p>\n<p>What about moving next door? Cambodia, Vietnam and even Laos are distinct possibilities but all three have major drawbacks. Japan\'s heyday seems to have gone forever from what I\'ve heard. There\'s always The Middle East of course, and while the streets might be paved with gold, it\'s not exactly party central is it?</p>\n<p>Not the greatest of choices if truth be told? Not after you\'ve spent years and years living it up in Thailand. I\'ll resist the temptation to imply older teachers are stuck in their ways and other clich&eacute;s, but who really needs the hassle of adapting to a completely new culture and way of life in their twilight years?</p>\n<p>I can certainly sympathize with those reluctant to make such a big move. We all like to cling on to the familiar and comfortable to some degree. But there are still mouths to feed and bills to pay.</p>\n<h3>Time for reflection</h3>\n<p>Perhaps it\'s got something to do with reaching the big five-oh myself, but I\'ve started to look back and analyze my twenty plus years here and how things might have worked out differently had I not been fortunate to find work outside of teaching.</p>\n<p>I\'ve tried to put myself back into the body and mind of the skinny 26-year old who rolled up at Bangkok Airport in the early 90\'s looking to seek his fortune (OK, maybe just the mind part)</p>\n<p>The problem with being in your mid-twenties - carefree and single and all that - is that you consider yourself bulletproof. You are ready to take on anything the world can throw at you. Your parents are still relatively young people themselves so no need to worry about them much. You don\'t have a pension plan but what the heck! - you can take care of that in a few years time.</p>\n<p>Worrying about retirement funds is for cissies, or at least folks a good ten years older than you. As far as the future is concerned, it\'s all about choosing the right bar to kick off that night\'s entertainment.</p>\n<h3>The reality of the hour</h3>\n<p>Then something strange happens. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye and you are suddenly a middle-aged man in every sense of the word. And for all the classroom experience, the hours spent devising and marking tests, the help you\'ve given with extra-curricular school activities, the training and advice you\'ve provided to other teachers, you\'re suddenly no longer as marketable.</p>\n<p>You\'re no longer as &lsquo;in demand\' - in a country that you thought would provide you with a decent living for as long as you could draw breath.</p>\n<p>Suddenly your world can start crumbling around you. Apart from the difficulties finding work, there are other areas of life that may need your attention and before you know it, the reality of the hour kicks in.</p>\n<p>I have a good friend in his mid-50s who has been a teacher here for almost fifteen years. His mother, who he is very close to, is now living in a nursing home back in The USA. Not only is she struggling to pay the cost of the sheltered accommodation - and her son is having to help out - but she recently suffered a major stroke. The woman is 92 years old I believe.</p>\n<p>My friend spent six months flying back and forth to America as his mother got increasingly more fragile and when he\'s back in Thailand, it\'s an endless round of international phone calls to the duty nurse to check on mother\'s condition. There is certainly no time for teaching work. That\'s if he could get any in the first place.</p>\n<p>This is a situation that is slowly developing for many teachers here. Sad but true. To go back to those older teachers sending me e-mails, the final sentence is usually \"what advice can you give me to improve my chances of finding work?\"</p>\n<h3>Thanks but no thanks</h3>\n<p>One teacher, now well into his sixties, wrote to me and said he had been interviewed for dozens of jobs in the past year but nothing ever materializes.</p>\n<p>\"The interviewers genuinely seem impressed with my experience and I always offer to give a demonstration lesson so they can judge my ability as well. They tell me there\'s no need. They can see straight away I would make a decent teacher. Or so they say. Then they promise to get in touch and more often than not, the phone never rings. I\'m never surprised. I can see in the interviewer\'s body language that he or she doesn\'t feel I\'m the man for the job. And it\'s simply because I\'m construed as being too old. It\'s all very frustrating\"</p>\n<p>The teacher contacted me again recently to say he had decided to go back to the UK and live with his sister.</p>\n<p>What more can you add to that?</p>\n<p>Your comments are most welcome. And of course your advice would be priceless.</p>\n<p>I\'d love to hear from you older teachers as well.

It aims to encourage schools in promoting critical thinking, creativity and global-mindedness among the students by adding four co-curricular subjects; namely, Theory of Knowledge, Global Studies, Extended Essay and Creative-Action-Services. Some of the piloted schools with English Programs (EP) teach these courses in English. Whether this project proves to be successful or not remains to be seen on its culmination in 2012.</p>\n<p>Last year, the Ministry of Education announced the implementation of a new teaching and learning approach called &lsquo;English for Integrated Studies\' to 500 schools both at the elementary and secondary levels. The approach is embedded in three paradigms: teach Science, Mathematics and Computer courses in English by Thai teachers; use of multimedia and other technological tools as a support to basic English language learning; and develop English language skills of both students and teachers. It is noted that the inspiration of this learning scheme has been founded from His Majesty the King\'s Sufficiency - Economy - Philosophy (SEP) plan. Thus it generally aims to provide education equality to students from low-income family status where opportunities to learn English as a metacognitive skill will no longer be limited to those who can only afford of other bilingual education programs. The pilot testing of this project will end in 2015.</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s entire education force is not spared from the educational revolution if the English for Integrated Studies (EIS) project will be successful. If this would be the case then there is a need of a gradual revamp of Thailand\'s educational framework. The following are the implications of this project:</p>\n<p>1. Rajabhat Universities and other institutes shall strengthen their College of Teacher Education program reinforcing the use of English to practicing teachers.</p>\n<p>Training the university students well in the College of Teacher Education is the key to Thailand\'s successful English language education. There are thousands of retiring teachers every year, and it\'s enlightening to see young minds taking over the teaching industry nowadays. I worked with practice teachers in the secondary school and they appeared very inferior to their critic teachers. They did a year of merely observing the classroom teacher with less actual teaching, marking students\' papers, and assisting their critic teachers in classroom management. I was also troubled with these young teachers\' attitude towards using Thai to teach the English subject. Practice teachers need to be trained to use English effectively while they have the opportunity to do so. It is, also, no longer a surprise if majority of Thai professors use Thai in teaching English subjects. This traditional chain needs to be broken.</p>\n<p>As an implication to the foreign teaching industry, Rajabhat Universities and other colleges particularly in the Faculty of Teacher Education might open their doors to foreign English teachers with specialized fields who will help train their practicing teachers in using Academic English.</p>\n<p>2. The Teachers\' Council of Thailand (TCT) shall be lenient with their teacher licensing polices by categorizing foreign teachers as either skilled or professionals where both enjoy reasonable and appropriate employment contracts. The strict implementation of the licensing laws in 2008 has caused an impact to the number of English native speakers who wish to teach in Thailand but without education degrees. The Teachers\' Council of Thailand shall come up with a win-win situation where highly-skilled and experienced English native speakers without teaching degrees can have equal opportunity in the teaching industry. If this happens, including the banning of the infamous Thai Culture and Professional Standards Training as a business venture, and the revision or termination of the Professional Standard Tests for foreign teachers, there will be a very high chance of encouraging more native speakers to work in Thailand with the right purpose.</p>\n<p>3. In five years time, all schools shall require more assistance of foreign teachers in helping them cope with the implementation of the EIS project. The majority of Thai teachers especially those who had attitude problems toward the idea of using English as a co-medium of instruction aren\'t ready to take the plunge. It is not overwhelming why the EIS project has to be tested in five years time. Thai teachers shall need even more than five years to fully-equip them with the language skills and pedagogical training that come with it.</p>\n<p>It also implies that there might be a gradual reduction of hiring full-time foreign teachers starting 2016 due to rechanneling of funds to Thai teachers\' professional development training and other benefits. This is very evident based on the EIS plan to open the schools to volunteers through the so-called \"Intercultural Programs.\" Note that the proponent of this EIS project availed for the AFS program.</p>\n<p>Language centers that offer teacher placement will find this opportunity as a major income generator. There are some schools that save more money and earn at the same time by availing for part-time teachers, and even without worrying all the nuisances of processing paperwork and taking care of their foreign teachers\' demands and concerns.</p>\n<p>4. In five years time, all schools shall greatly depend on the foreign teachers to help increase the English language proficiency of the learners. They shall devise a scheme where students shall have a chance to meet not only once but twice their foreign teachers every school week.</p>\n<p>If this happens then there will be a higher demand of foreign teachers provided that the school has the budget to hire full-time teachers. It might sound encouraging but a higher number of foreign teachers will bring more tragedy to the already low salary offers of many schools.</p>\n<p>Moreover, imagine what students will have to go through when all core subjects are taught in English even by Thai teachers. The majority of the secondary schools heavily rely on the preparation of students at the elementary level. It will be a disaster to go full implementation of the EIS project next school year despite research studies show that the implementation of this project has been a success even in just three years. Nevertheless, the success of the EIS project greatly depends on the Thai teachers\' attitudes. And this shall signal the start of strict reinforcement of requiring all Thai teachers who teach English to use English in the classroom at all times.</p>\n<p>If there\'s one major flaw in the development of English language education in Thailand, it\'s those teachers in the elementary, secondary and tertiary schools that hard-headedly continue to teach English in Thai.</p>\n<p>5. Schools at all levels will be seeking for highly trained and experienced foreign teachers to help them achieve their goals. There is no question on the availability of foreign teachers in Thailand. In fact, there are hundreds of them waiting for vacancies. But the prevailing problem that the Ministry of Education has to address is the inconsistency of salary and benefit packages offered and non-processing of work permits by its legions that causes heavy weight on quantity over quality.</p>\n<p>6. In the light of language and societal change, the EIS project and its impact to the community will bring a better understanding of Thai societies especially schools and parents to the realities of language change that despite the community\'s preference to native English such as American English or British English, time will come when Thailand will have its own full-grown indigenized English called \"Thai English\" which is an inevitable language phenomenon.</p>\n<p>(For more discussions on this topic, please visit my <a href=\"http://www.abelcadias.blog.co.uk\">personal blog</a></p>','','2011-02-17 05:44:30',1,'2011-02-17 05:44:30','2011-02-17 19:07:31'),(4422,108,'Health cover for existing medical problems','health-cover-for-existing-medical-problems','Is it possible to get insurance to cover treatment of an existing problem?','Iit still bothers me that many people with existing medical problems can\'t get insurance to help cover the treatment of medical problems. But, there are some options.','<p></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Understanding Health Insurance: One example of someone not understanding the concept of health insurance was a woman who wrote to me saying that she was already pregnant and wanted to buy maternity coverage to cover the delivery of her baby. Nope. Sorry. Can\'t do that. It\'s already a <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.com/health-insurance-plans/pre-existing/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>pre-existing condition</span></a>. Maternity coverage will only cover the delivery of a baby 10 to 12 months after applying for the coverage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Another example of someone not understanding&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/\">health insurance</a><span>&nbsp;involved a man who submitted his application for medical coverage and then called me the very next day saying that he was in the hospital and they wanted to know his policy number. He had scheduled himself for an operation even before he had applied for the insurance.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">His attempt to claim was rejected for two reasons: 1) the problem was clearly pre-existing and 2) there is a 30 day waiting period anyway before treatment of illness related conditions can be covered.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>These two people clearly didn\'t understand that the concept of private health insurance is to \"provide a necessary service and to make a profit\" while doing so.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To simplify this, high claim losses force insurers to raise premiums. Higher premiums make them less competitive and less affordable to many people no matter how good their insurance is. I\'ve seen it happen. Having said all that, it still bothers me that many people with existing medical problems can\'t get insurance to help cover the treatment of those problems.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>But, there are some options. This blog will discuss these options and you can determine if any of these options can fit your needs.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Government Insurance: Expats in Thailand who go to work for an employer participating in the government Social Security Insurance scheme have a good shot at having treatment of their pre-existing conditions covered, if the medications and treatment they require are not too exotic and are readily available in Thailand, The Thai government is starting to tighten down on covering certain types of medications and treatments, though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Large Multi-National Company Group Insurance: Many large international companies do offer group insurance that covers pre-existing conditions. (But don\'t get your hopes up about finding this in Thailand). The additional costs of covering pre-existing conditions are passed on to the employer in the form of a premium increase. The employer uses this increase as an employee-benefit tax write-off to keeps his taxes down.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/corporate/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Group Insurance</a><span>&nbsp;Carry-Over Policy; If your pre-existing conditions were covered by your group insurer because they first appeared while you were covered by the group insurance, or possibly even before, many insurance companies will allow you to \"carry over\" your group policy to them, including coverage of pre-existing conditions. (In some cases, even personal insurance coverage can be carried over).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An Exclusion Moratorium: This is a waiting period of, typically, 24 months and during this time the condition will be excluded from coverage. If, however, no treatment is sought for the condition, no symptoms are displayed, and no medication is prescribed, then the insurer will reconsider providing coverage for condition.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Premium Loading: Some pre-existing conditions may be considered for coverage under an international medical insurance plan; however this will come with an increased annual premium. The type of condition will affect the amount of the loading, and not all pre-existing conditions can be covered by a premium loading.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A Fixed Yearly Treatment Allowance: A few international plans offer this for the treatment pre-existing conditions. For example, one company will pay up to 150,000 baht per year for the treatment of pre-existing conditions and up to 1,500.000 baht over a 10 year period. This begins after you have had the policy for 24 months. It doesn\'t matter, though, whether you have sought treatment for the conditions or not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion: This is the way most insurance companies in Thailand deal with pre-existing conditions. They will cover you for everything else, but they exclude coverage for treatment of your already existing medical problems. Some insurers do tend to be a little more liberal in their underwriting than others.</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For more information on healthcare and medical insurance plans in Thailand, please feel free to reach out to <a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>Pacific Prime Thailand Insurance Brokers</span></a>, or email Walter directly at <a href=\"mailto:walter@pacificprime.com\"><span>walter@pacificprime.com</span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<p></p>','','2018-09-01 01:43:00',1,'2016-07-16 01:43:03','2018-09-27 21:22:12'),(4518,10,'May I see your passport?','may-i-see-your-passport','The joys of international travel with a Thai partner','Despite the fact my wife already has three Schengen visas and three UK visas in her passport from past visits, applying for a visa to visit a new country is always stressful. \n','<p>I\'m off to Amsterdam next month and thoroughly looking forward to it. Even though I haven\'t been for well over 20 years, Amsterdam has always been one of my favorite cities and I\'m looking forward to showing it off to my faithful travel companion - my Thai wife.\n<p>Unfortunately, travelling to Europe means having to go through the laborious process of gathering a whole pile of documentation and applying for a schengen visa at the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Despite the fact my wife already has three Schengen visas and three UK visas in her passport from past visits, these visa applications are always stressful. Our trip to the Dutch embassy last week was no exception.</p>\n<p>Thais don\'t go to The Netherlands in any great number so as far as embassies go, the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok is a rather sleepy affair located in an attractive leafy soi just off the main Ploenchit Road. On the morning of our appointment, we got there nice and early with all our ducks in a row and received a queue ticket number. There were barely a dozen visa applicants ahead of us in the line and we were looking at a thirty-minute wait at most.</p>\n<p>As someone categorized by the embassy as &lsquo;accompanying the visa applicant\' I wasn\'t allowed to enter the building\'s inner sanctum but through a large plate-glass window I could see my wife sitting patiently and waiting for one of the three visa officers on duty to call her up to their window and begin the application process.</p>\n<p>Eventually my wife\'s number was called and I sat there minding my own business and planning the best place in the neighborhood to have lunch. After several minutes my wife emerged and marched up to me in a fit of mild rage. The Thai officer had asked my wife to photocopy all the pages of her husband\'s passport, so that meant leaving the embassy compound and finding a photocopying shop nearby. All in all, a dreadful inconvenience. Not only that, but luckily I had decided to take my passport only at the very last minute.</p>\n<p>Later, over lunch, when my wife had eventually calmed down, I quizzed her more about the application process and the questions the officer had asked her. To be honest, the interview hadn\'t got off to the best of starts. My wife sat down and the officer started the interrogation by asking if she had applied for a visa at that specific embassy before. My wife told the officer no - but she did apply for a visa for the Netherlands about twelve years ago when she went on a package tour with her mother. It was a very natural, friendly answer. It\'s the kind of answer I would have given, purely to break the ice in such a formal environment. Unfortunately, natural and friendly are two adjectives that rarely come to mind when dealing with visa officials. The Thai officer, a lady of about 25, tut-tutted, rolled her eyes and reminded my wife that that was not the question she\'d been asked.</p>\n<p>As I say - not the best of starts to an interview.</p>\n<p>For the rest of the short interview, the questions were mainly about me. <br />\"What does your husband do in Bangkok?\"<br />\"How long has he lived here?\" <br />\"Which side does he dress?\"</p>\n<p>The part I don\'t understand is that I\'m not the one applying for the visa. How are the questions relevant? I could be a retired billionaire or a struggling jazz musician. I don\'t see that it matters.</p>\n<p>I was under the impression that the visa applicant had to prove three things;</p>\n<p>Firstly, that he or she has enough &lsquo;reason\' to return to Thailand.&nbsp;The embassy wants to be sure that the applicant&nbsp;won\'t just disappear forever into Europe\'s vast hinterland and live a glorious life on government handouts and state benefits. And that\'s why my wife did exactly&nbsp;as the Dutch Embassy ordered and had&nbsp;taken a letter from her company to&nbsp;clarify her&nbsp;salary, position and years of service, etc, etc.</p>\n<p>Secondly, the visa applicant has to prove that he or she has the necessary funds and travel insurance and they will be able to cope in an emergency. And that\'s why the visa applicant&nbsp;submits an updated copy of their bankbook and also an original copy of the travel insurance policy. Simple really isn\'t it?</p>\n<p>Finally, the visa applicant has to show that he or she is indeed taking a vacation or a study trip or whatever. And to cover this, I had given my wife a copy of all the e-mail communication between myself and the rather nice-sounding Dutch lady who owns a two-bedroom house overlooking one of Amsterdam\'s central canals, in other words, the place where we will stay. The e-mail communication was all nicely formatted and even a cursory glance showed that it contained details of the house-owner\'s bank account number and bank address, where I had sent a deposit to in order to secure the accommodation.</p>\n<p>All of the information above had been dismissed by the Thai officer at The Dutch Embassy. She never even looked at it. She was far more interested in whether the applicant\'s husband had pulled the legs off spiders as a child and eaten up all his greens.</p>\n<p>No, that\'s not entirely true. The officer did ask my wife why she didn\'t have a hotel voucher to confirm the accommodation. But when my wife told her that we were staying in a typical Dutch house rather than some 5-star steel and concrete monstrosity, the officer merely viewed my wife with even more suspicion, if that were at all possible. The officer was obviously under the impression that people who travel abroad always stay in hotels. At least they do in her blinkered little world.</p>\n<p>These embassy stories of Thais giving fellow Thais an unnecessarily hard time are all too familiar. I\'m sure many of you reading this ramble have been in exactly the same boat. I\'m just curious as to where the embassies recruit these staff members from and what kind of training is involved?</p>\n<p>I\'m going to get on to very sensitive ground here now but I\'m of the firm belief that you can\'t have Thais dealing with Thais in these situations. For those who have lived in Thailand any length of time the reasons should be obvious. Thai culture - at least between Thais - is one of status and one-upmanship and knowing where you belong in the social pecking order. It\'s sometimes a culture of inflated self-importance and power trips. A Thai visa official can wreck all your travel plans and dreams with one stroke of a pen. There can\'t be a bigger power trip than that. Surely you can\'t have Thai visa applicants being judged by a supposedly impartial officer when there is all that cultural bullshit ticking away in the background. Wow! I\'m really going off on one here.</p>\n<p>Thais won\'t thank me for saying this - and I say it with a degree of tongue-in-cheek - but I\'m convinced that as a nationality they are not meant to travel. It\'s almost as if the rest of the world doesn\'t want them. \"Stay at home - we\'ll come to visit you instead\"</p>\n<p>Getting a visa for your holiday destination is just one of the hardships you encounter when travelling or making travel plans with a Thai partner. Landing at airports and going through immigration control is another.</p>\n<p>My favorite airport story occurred several years ago when I took my wife to Spain to visit my parents. We had been holidaying in England at the time but as a welcome side-trip, we caught a two-hour flight from Birmingham to Alicante on Spain\'s Costa Del Sol. My parents live in a small Spanish village about 30 miles inland.</p>\n<p>Alicante Airport is always busy but because the vast majority of passengers are either tourists or residents of Spain, passport control is unbelievably relaxed. There will usually be a couple of bored looking officers talking about Real Madrid\'s chances of winning the cup, while a stream of Brits abroad file past waving their red EU passports, their pensioners bus pass or perhaps even a Blockbusters membership card. Basically the first thing you lay your hands on when rummaging around in a handbag.</p>\n<p>At Alicante Airport, It\'s possible to clear immigration, drag your suitcase off the carousel and find yourself basking in glorious Spanish sunshine, literally half an hour after your plane has landed. I knew this from previous visits so the moment the aircraft seatbelt lights went off, I grabbed my wife by the hand and made for the exit door. We were standing at passport control while every other passenger was still wrestling their duty-free carrier bags from the overhead bins.</p>\n<p>The Spanish immigration officer beckoned us to approach the counter. He gave my passport the quick once over and then saw that I had filled in a landing card. As an EU citizen this is not something I am required to do. He muttered the Spanish equivalent of \"you stupid prick\' and then flung the card at me. The card hit my chest and landed on the floor at my feet. I stooped down to pick it up and then passenger and immigration official stared each other down, rather reminiscent of the way Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier used to do to each other minutes before a fight. Welcome to Spain Senor!</p>\n<p>When my wife handed the officer her Thai passport, it was as if someone had suddenly plugged him into a power supply. His eyes lit up and his whole body language shifted. He recognized instantly that although of similar color, this wasn\'t your run-of-the-mill EU jobby for very little escapes Spanish officials in the world of passports. He flicked through the pages from front to back and then did the same thing in reverse - twice. He checked the photograph, looked up at my wife and then checked the photograph again. There then followed a puzzled shake of the head.</p>\n<p>By now the other passengers had caught up with us, their footsteps echoing on the tiled floors. The immigration officer instructed us to stand in one spot and not move a muscle and we stood there helpless and embarrassed while the other 248 passengers scurried through immigration flashing their passports, bus passes and video club membership. We adopted a blank expression every time a passenger looked at us and wondered exactly what we\'d done or more to the point, what we had attempted to blow up. And then they were gone. We were alone - just me, my wife and a gruff, overworked Spanish official. He flicked through the Thai passport for the umpteenth time and then the following conversation took place.</p>\n<p>\"What country?\" he asked.</p>\n<p>\"Thailand\" I replied, and pointed to the cover of the passport. If you are looking for the origin of a passport, I think the cover is undoubtedly the best place to start.</p>\n<p>\"Ah Thailandia\" the officer announced triumphantly, and with that he waved us through and wished us a pleasant onward journey.</p>\n<p>If Alicante wins an award for the most miserable and most confused airport staff, then Christchurch Airport in New Zealand takes home the trophy for the friendliest.</p>\n<p>The first surprise comes as you stand in the queue and snake your way towards the passport control booths. The airport has several sniffer dogs that are allowed to roam freely among the queuing passengers. There is no advanced warning of this however. One moment you are discussing travel plans with your partner and the next minute there\'s a Labrador\'s wet nose nuzzling in-between your bum cheeks. And I hope you won\'t think any less of me when I say that I\'ve definitely had worse experiences.</p>\n<p>The immigration queues move at a glacial speed and when the novelty of rubbing up against a Labrador wears off, you\'re left wondering what the hell is taking so long. When eventually it\'s your turn to be processed by the officer on duty, the reasons for the long wait become apparent. You are now face-to-face with the chattiest man in New Zealand.</p>\n<p>\"So where are you guys heading for?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, I would love to see your itinerary if you could fish that out for me\"</p>\n<p>\"I see you\'ve rented a car with Eazee Car Rental. Actually they have just changed their name to Juicy Car Rental. I\'m not sure why but that\'s what they\'ve done. I guess a lot of companies go in for a corporate re-branding at some stage\"</p>\n<p>My wife and I just stood their and nodded. What else can you do other than say \"can you just stamp the bloody passports before our holiday is over\"</p>\n<p>He even went as far as to ask me what I did for a living. I told him I was a website designer only because it was the first thing that came into my head. The officer gave my answer some thought.</p>\n<p>\"You know something - and I\'ll tell you this for nothing - you wouldn\'t earn much in New Zealand as a web designer\"</p>\n<p>This was getting ridiculous. What was next? - an invitation to his modest Christchurch semi-detached for sandwiches and a chat with his wife?</p>\n<p>I instinctively looked at my watch and thankfully he got the message. \"Have a great time in New Zealand folks\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, if we ever fucking get there\" I muttered.</p>\n<p>What else can happen at airports? Oh yes.... I never like the fact that at British airports I\'m allowed to fast-track it through the EU citizens channel while my wife gets to queue up for several hours with &lsquo;those who hold funny passports\' - you know the ones I\'m talking about? I never see the point of deserting my wife and then having to wait for her on the other side of passport control so I generally ask staff if I can also go through the &lsquo;people with funny passports\' channel and I\'ve never once been refused. I think in some ways the staff admire my courage.</p>\n<p>I\'m never sure why but when it comes to non-EU immigration queues, we always seem to get stuck behind the stick-thin Cameroonian, who has somehow contrived to land in England without a penny to his name and no worldly possessions save for the address of a guy he met twenty years ago written on the back of a fag packet - or a Ladbrokes betting slip if he\'s the organized type. And as his wife and four kids cling to his trouser legs and wonder exactly what the future holds, the officer asks him where the family is heading to once they\'re allowed into the country.</p>\n<p>\"I come stay England.........home..........my friend\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, I know you are staying at your friend\'s home Mr Bucpapa but do......you.....know....the....actual......address?\"</p>\n<p>The stick-thin Cameroonian thinks for a moment.</p>\n<p>\"I come stay England.......home.......my friend\"</p>\n<p>I shoot my wife that look - that look that means we\'re in it for the long haul. All the other passengers on our flight have long gone. There are just our two suitcases going round and round on the carousel under the watchful eye of two bored baggage handlers. Eventually one turns to the other and says \"let\'s give it another ten minutes and if they don\'t show up, we\'\'ll burn them\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve just this minute heard that my wife has been granted her visa for The Netherlands. What adventures lie ahead I wonder. I\'m literally trembling with excitement.</p>\n</p>','','2011-02-28 01:49:02',1,'2011-02-28 01:49:02','2011-02-28 16:04:04'),(4534,20,'Flying solo','flying-solo','What it\'s like to start your own \'Thai-style\' business in Thailand','When I visited Maesod for the very first time I decided to come and live here and start a factory.

I won\'t say I hated every moment of it, but I definitely never looked forward to my next class. While life as a teacher in Thailand can be very easy, for many chalkies&nbsp;it\'s definitely not rewarding or challenging in any sense.</p>\n<p>When I visited Maesod the first time I decided to come and live here and start a factory. I was attracted by the town\'s abundance of cheap teak, cheap Burmese labour and beautiful girls. I invested well over B100, 000 and countless hours in the business. B100, 000 is a lot of dough on a teacher\'s salary. I worked full-time and I was lucky to get a good part-time gig. The sad part is I had to clamp in my nightlife. Fortunately equipment is cheap and some of the Japanese machinery made in Thailand is really good quality. What we could not get locally we improvised. The Burmese are very innovative. Our wood-saw is made of scrap wood using a pulley set, a blade and an electrical motor. And it works very well.</p>\n<p>Although I am an engineer and ran my own business in SA, I had to learn everything: Accounting, teak, wood-manufacturing, internet-marketing, export, speak Thai, speak Burmese. At the beginning I had to do everything myself - the website, the samples, the marketing, etc, etc. Luckily I am a jack of all trades; an engineer (B Eng Industrial degree), teacher (MA ELT degree), designer (cause I love it), writer/author (same reason) and production manager (I\'m good at it).</p>\n<p>My philosophy is not to pay for advertising. If you are creative, you can get enough free advertising. I designed my own logo, my own website and my own products. I am actually a master copier. Word of mouth is by far the most effective and it\'s free. I\'ve learned a lot about internet marketing: websites, blogs, Google-ads, articles, press releases, etc. I know what doesn\'t work; I\'m still trying to find out what actually works. If you Google my name or teak boards, I will come up on the first page. I do my marketing the tried and tested way. Source a handful of wholesalers and pitch them over and over and over again. No other manufacturing company does this!</p>\n<p>I have learned not to compete with the Thais, or the Burmese, for that matter. They just drive their workers to do longer unpaid hours and cut more corners to come up with a cheaper (and inferior) product. I realized that you can make more money as a teacher, and now I specialize in export products only.</p>\n<p>I can\'t give the Thais any credit for making my life as a start-up businessman easy. The logic first step is to get a couple of woodworking machines, a Burmese carpenter and then make a few samples to put on a website. My Thai neighbor/landlord broke the bed-base we made, told my (illegal Burmese) workers they\'ll cal the police if we work at the house and finally gave me an eviction notice when I decided to make the stuff in the kitchen myself.</p>\n<p>Nor does the Burmese (government) make it easy. There are regular skirmishes between the pro- and anti-government factions and sometimes rocket grenades fly into Thai territory. At present the Maesot-Myawadee border is closed and I can\'t cross into Burma to buy teak which is much cheaper than the Muslim traders in town.</p>\n<p>My first order was refurbishing chairs at the local coffee shop and thereafter making chairs and tables for them. We work from a large wooden house on stilts. Downstairs we manufacture, and upstairs we do the finishing and packing. <br />Some days were quite hectic. I would sign in at 8 o\'clock, teach one or two periods and rush home to spray a sample or cross the border into Burma to buy teak. In the afternoon I would rush back to teach my last classes. Or I would be up all night waiting for my teak to come across the river. Or phone in sick to finish a sample.</p>\n<p>Do I pay more because I am a farang? I wouldn\'t say so. I always ask the price first. When a supplier overcharges me, I blacklist him. I often double check Thais\' prices against their Burmese shop-assistants\' version (I can speak numbers in both Thai and Burmese). Also, I\'m in Maesod, not Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Burning the candle on both ends can be quite hectic. I was trying to balance two jobs and it does not work. You can only be sick so many times or have to go home, because TOT is installing another line or you have to see a knee-specialist or need to go for acupuncture, or whatever.</p>\n<p>The business is still in its infant shoes. Building an export business takes time. I was lucky to get a US hit on my website requesting custom-made teak cutting boards. I\'ve promised myself that if I get another order over $1, 500, I will be flying solo. Or maybe the school will just kick me...</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Writer Andre Park also has <a href=\"http://www.thai-pepper.com/about_us\">his own website</a> to promote his teakwood kitchenware business and a few other things besides.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/ribbon.gif','2011-03-01 23:01:06',1,'2011-03-01 23:01:06','2011-09-19 08:08:08'),(4536,52,'March 2011','march-2011','News, promotions and offers for ajarn readers from Thailand\'s TEFL courses','Thailand is a great place to take your TEFL course.

People with a job usually spend a limited amount of time and effort in skill advancement outside of working hours.</p>\n<p>A teenager working at a fast food outlet does not usually think the work is part of a career; instead it is a job, work in exchange for money with little thought about future opportunities for advancement and little effort given to skill development. How many fast food workers after work study about techniques which will help to make a better burger?</p>\n<p>A career is work in which there are long-term goals involved. In a career, especially in the early stages, individuals are working not only for the immediate benefits one gets, but also to gain new skills and one considers his or her current work and skill development to be building blocks for the future. In a career, more thought is given to long term opportunities for promotions, increased responsibilities and career advancement.</p>\n<p>Individuals with careers often spend considerable time and effort outside of work hours developing new skills. For example, reading trade journals or attending professional conferences.</p>\n<p>Climbing the corporate ladder normally requires one to have a career as opposed to a job mindset.</p>\n<p>One could make the case that becoming a TEFL teacher is usually more about having a job than a career. Looking through the Ajarn job listings one rarely finds jobs ads for career teachers holding considerable experience or advanced qualifications. In Thailand, many teachers work for Thai schools, both government and private, and within these organizations there are few if any opportunities for foreign English teachers to advance. Also it is rare for schools to pay new teachers extra for experience or education and training, in addition to what is needed for a work permit, they bring into the school. It would appear most administrators hiring teachers for Thai schools think they are hiring people for jobs, not careers.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, there are some, but limited, opportunities within the industry for career advancement, especially within the language school segment. A teacher can aspire and work towards becoming a head teacher, director of studies or other administrative position. There are also opportunities in academia for those inclined and I personally know of TEFL teachers working in Asia going off to work on their PhDs in ESL or related fields.</p>\n<p>Maybe the question of whether teaching TEFL is a job or a career does not require a single answer. It might be possible TEFL teaching can be a job for some individuals while being part of a career for others. Also it might be possible for someone to start teaching thinking of it as a job and later changing to having a career mindset. It could also work in reverse; someone might start off thinking of teaching as a career and later settle into a job mindset.</p>\n<p>Whether thinking TEFL teaching is a job or a career, it should be kept in mind that education as a whole is not a sector of the economy known for creating positions that are especially well paid. And while statistics of TEFL salaries are difficult to impossible to find, we do know on average professors in English departments generally earn far less than do professors teaching business, IT, or the physical sciences, and it would seem TEFL teaching would also not compare favorably in terms of earnings potential when benchmarked against other types of work. Therefore when taking a TEFL or other English teaching position one should not expect either the immediate or long-term financial remuneration to be substantial, but there are some exceptional intangible benefits, such as the joy of working with bright and motivated young people, for those seeking either a job or a career in the TEFL industry.</p>\n<p>It is felt there is a need and room for both job and career seekers within the TEFL industry. Obviously most Thai schools and language schools do not have the resources in which to pay professional wages which would attach career minded individuals to all English teachers and therefore primarily rely on those looking for jobs in the industry. And I have seen many young people who come to Thailand or other countries to teach English as a job for a year or two, or retirees who come and teach English after finishing a full career in a different profession, that make excellent conversational English teachers and who compensate for lack of teaching experience by an abundance of enthusiasm and good spirit.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, in order to adequately design courses or prepare students going off to study in graduate programs abroad to write academic English properly requires TEFL professionals who have developed skills over a career.</p>\n</p>\n<p>While one can take a job or develop a career teaching English, it would probably be a good idea for individuals to know what they want out of teaching English and follow either the job or career path depending on their personal motivations and objectives.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>','','2011-03-02 17:58:33',1,'2011-03-02 17:58:33','2011-03-03 08:08:34'),(4561,57,'Across the riverbank','across-the-riverbank','Are Krungthonburi and Wongwian Yai the new Silom and Sathorn?','Has the area just over the river, namely Thonburi, become the new Silom and Sathorn since the opening in May 2009 of the new Krungthonburi and Wongwian Yai BTS stations?','<p>A little while ago in a previous blog on Ajarn.com I asked the question if Ratchadaphisek was the new Sukhumvit? In that blog I highlighted how the relatively new MRT line had helped transform the area into a much more attractive place to live. With several new condos built next to the new stations that run the length of the road. I think that there is no disputing the fact the area has seen a lot of development in the last 5 years and that the districts that run along length of Ratchadaphisek road had been given a major boost. So keeping on the same theme, I want to ask in this blog if the area just over the river, namely Thonburi, has become the new Silom and Sathorn since the opening in May 2009 of the new Krungthonburi and Wongwian Yai BTS stations?\n<p>The junction at Saphan Taksin which is at the edge of the river, near where these two new stations are located, is reputed to be the worst in Bangkok, and that must mean Thailand. Figures suggest that some 80 000 people cross this junction everyday in the rush hour periods. And as most people are driving one person per vehicle that means that some 50 000 cars, buses, trucks, vans and pick-ups are causing major traffic jams here everyday, never mind major pollution! No wonder the city was crying out for the BTS to traverse the Chaophraya river to lower the number of vehicles on the road. And to be fair it seems to be working, I think it is no coincidence that since these two stations have opened that&nbsp;the BTS has become more popular and therefore a lot more crowded. In fact so much so that the BTS&nbsp;started running 4-carriage trains on the Silom line well before the longer Sukhumvit line, which at present still makes do with 3-carriage trains.</p>\n<p>Inevitably condominium and apartment developers have seen the opportunity to build new condos and apartments next to the BTS stations at Krungthonburi and Wongwian Yai. For those that know Thonburi, you will know that compared to Sathorn and Silom on the other side of the river it was previously undeveloped, but for a few high-end hotels and the usual shop-houses so familiar to any Bangkok resident.</p>\n<p>However, since the completion of the&nbsp;two new BTS stations, there have been a number of mid-end and high-end condos constructed in the area. And some are within literally a stones throw of the BTS -&nbsp;some condominiums only 50m away from the nearest station. Of course all brand new, they offer not only great facilities and brand new fittings and design, but also given the location, they offer great value for money.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/my-condo-wang-wian-yai-760 \">My condominium situated&nbsp;in Wong Wian Yai</a> for example offers modern well designed and tastefully fitted brand new condos for excellent prices. In fact you can get a 2-bedroom condo here for the same price that you would struggle to get a 1-bedroom for just&nbsp;three stops up at Chong Nonsi station.</p>\n<p>As any long term residents of Bangkok will know, Silom is infamously expensive. Yes it is served by both the BTS and MRT lines with Saladaeng and Silom stations respectively, but it is mainly the lack of land available in the sub-sois that push the prices up as demand outstrips supply. However as we often tell our clients, &lsquo;Why pay more for a condo 10-15mins walk from a station, when you can live 10-15mins train ride further down the line and pay much less?\'</p>\n<p>And there is so much logical sense in this; it is not just cost, but also quality of living. If you live at a condo for example in Krungthonburi, that is situated less than 100m from the station, you can be riding on the train within 2-3 minutes of leaving the front door of your condo. Not only that, but with a 100m walk, it is unlikely you will get wet if it is raining as long as you have an umbrella with you. Where as a 10-15 minute walk along the pavements of Silom, is not only likely to be awkward, but umbrella or no umbrella you are likely to get wet at one point as people jostle you for position on the pavement.</p>\n<p>And there is another added advantage too, and this very much concerns quality and standards of living. The pollution is dreadful in both Silom and Sathorn, the air is filled with the fumes of dirty buses and even dirtier trucks, that would pass no emission tests anywhere in the world. However, move just 5 stops down (or a 15 minute BTS journey) and you could be a in a totally different world with blue skies and birds singing. <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/metro-park-sathorn-209 \">Metro Park Sathorn</a> offers not only excellent value with very attractive modern clean 2-bedroom condos&nbsp;at the same price as you would pay for a studio apartment on Silom road, but also a resort atmosphere that allows you to truly relax when you return home.</p>\n<p>We find that savvy clients looking to rent on this side of the city realize the value of travelling just 15 minutes on an air-conditioned train just to enjoy a higher quality and lower cost of living.</p>\n<p>True there are some disadvantages, Meto Park for example requires a short shuttle bus&nbsp;ride to the BTS and there are fewer shops. Also the shopping plazas aren\'t as swanky, but then with only a 25 minute BTS journey to Siam Square, it is not like you are stranded in the middle of nowhere.</p>\n<p>For readers of this blog as well there is the advantage of these properties being located close to Pinklao where many English teachers ply their trade, and also you are close to universities like Mahidol\'s Saraya campus.</p>\n<p>So although the argument for Krungthonburi and Wongwian Yai being the new Sathorn and Silom are perhaps not as compelling as Ratchada being the new Sukhumvit, it is worth remembering that the MRT has been open since 2004, where as the new BTS stations have only been open since 2009 so it has had 5 years longer to develop. What however I think is a compelling argument, is that these stations have opened up a part of Bangkok that offers both better value living and better quality living than many of the alternatives in the city.</p>\n</p>','','2011-03-04 02:02:15',1,'2011-03-04 02:02:15','2011-03-04 16:04:17'),(4582,4,'The enemy within','the-enemy-within','The evil side of the TEFL industry','It is a complicity of silence that sees many foreign teachers working hand-in-glove with a Thai administration that cares only about money and maintaining an educational system mired in cultural backwardness and social repression.  ','<p>I should have waited a month before writing my last blog. In my last blog I wrote about the complicity of silence surrounding the foreign teachers in Thailand; an insidious silence that is robbing tens of thousands of students of their God given right of a decent education. It is the same complicity of silence that sees many of the foreign teachers working hand-in-glove with a Thai administration that cares only about money and maintaining an educational system mired in cultural backwardness and social repression.</p>\n<p>Yes I should have waited a month before writing my last blog. In it I quoted an ex-colleague who called me &lsquo;dangerous\' and a &lsquo;loose cannon.\' He is not the only one to call me dangerous. I\'ve been called dangerous in the comment section of other blogs too. You mean dangerous like this guy? This from a Canadian newspaper, the National Post, under the headline \"<a href=\"http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/Calgary+Scout+Thai+brothel+pedophiles/4200163/story.html \">Calgary man, 64, ran Thai brothel for pedophiles</a>\":</p>\n<p>Okay I know; only a moron would think I\'m as dangerous as this guy. Just thought I\'d ask. But since many other teachers out there throw the word &lsquo;dangerous\' around so easily, especially when it comes to my blogs, I have to wonder just how dangerous I am in relation to people like John Wrenshall.</p>\n<p>Why do I bring up John Wrenshall some may wonder? Why do I want to dig up old bones? A few reasons: Besides making a point about what &lsquo;dangerous\' really means, I knew John Wrenshall. It\'s public knowledge. I worked with him for 18 months at a Bangkok language school in 2004-2005. He was my supervisor and mentor. He taught me a lot about teaching. I also wrote a blog about him for ajarn.com in January 2009 when I first found out about his heinous crimes. I titled that blog \"<a href=\"/blogs/steve-schertzer/the-tefl-industry/\">The TEFL Industry: A Rotting, Putrid, Stinking Corpse</a>.\" A tad strong, perhaps, but given the story and the circumstances, that\'s how I felt at the time.</p>\n<p>Although the intense shock of these horrific crimes by my ex-supervisor has worn off, the disillusionment that I feel towards this industry has not. I am still angry at times about how little is really being done to help students. I am disheartened by the fact that so little thought and planning has gone into the education of children by those who should know better. I am disappointed by so many of the foreign teachers who seem to show so little interest in the teaching profession. I am frustrated by the lack of progress I see just about everywhere in the world of education. I am sickened by school administrators who seem more interested in seizing power and maintaining control over the students rather than provide them with a decent education.</p>\n<p>Foreign teachers, especially in many Asian countries, are hired mainly for cosmetic reasons. We look good in a clean white shirt and tie standing outside greeting parents. But in the classroom we are seen, by the Thai administration, as useless: A bunch of bumbling fools who couldn\'t teach a dog to urinate on a patch of daisies. And some of us can\'t. But it\'s not as if the Thai administration has done their homework. It\'s not as if they have done their research on who is and who is not a caring and capable foreign teacher. That would be too much work; too much responsibility, and take too much effort.</p>\n<p>In my last blog I talked about the complicity of silence between many of the foreign English teachers and the Thai administration; a complicity of silence that has seen countless students continually being shortchanged in their education. What I didn\'t realize, and what is most frightening to me, is just how far into Thai society this complicity of silence runs. John Wrenshall lived in Bangkok and worked at the same language school for over eight years. In those eight plus years he spent his free time molesting young boys and setting up excursions for other sex tourists to do the same. And in those eight plus years, nobody outside of those being molested knew about this?</p>\n<p>Please don\'t misunderstand me here. I am not accusing anyone of anything. And I am certainly not accusing the language school that I and John Wrenshall worked for of knowing what was going on. I certainly didn\'t know and neither did any of my colleagues at the time. But I find it absolutely frightening that in eight plus years, not one little boy, of the countless boys that Wrenshall and his buddies molested,&nbsp;came forward.&nbsp;Not one? Or maybe one did. Maybe two did: Eight plus years; countless little boys. People must have known; and if some people knew then some people were silent. Does the complicity of silence run this deep in Thai society? Does money buy anything or anyone? I\'m just asking. But it does seem strange.</p>\n<p>After writing my first blog on John Wrenshall in January 2009, I received a few emails from English teachers in Thailand claiming that there are indeed schools that know about this kind of thing with a teacher on staff, but it is ignored for financial reasons. Only when the pressure from outside gets too strong to ignore does anyone actually do anything about it. At the time I received the emails I found that hard to believe, but now, I\'m not so sure.</p>\n<p>John Wrenshall was not the only man in Thailand with a penchant for young children. Other high profile cases include John Mark Carr and Christopher Paul Neil (AKA \"Mr. Swirl face\" because of his Interpol computer image.) Both, by the way, were English teachers. But Wrenshall was the most vile and evil one of them by far. <br /><br />I really didn\'t want this blog to be about John Wrenshall. He committed the hideous crimes, stood trial, found guilty by a jury of his peers, and will now live out his days and nights behind bars. And knowing what pedophiles face in prison, he will be forced to live the nightmares of his victims on a regular basis when \"Fat Louie\", along with many of his buddies, has their way with Mr. Wrenshall. I shudder at the thought.</p>\n<p>What I did want this blog to be about was basically a continuation of my last one, which in a way it is, by responding to a comment made by PJ in Khon Kaen. The verdict on John Wrenshall was finally announced after two long years of waiting and I had to comment. So here are the salient points in PJ\'s response to my January 10th blog titled \"Why? Standing Up For the Teaching Profession and the Complicity of Silence\":</p>\n<p>\"But, onto your main points, yes the system DOES suck. It is frustrating to have to work in an \"all must pass\" culture. Most of us would like to take the idealist approach but have learnt to be pragmatic. We can\'t change the system. Not as individuals or even collectively. So, I\'m not going to fight it and lose. What I\'m doing and will continue to do is focus on the one small place I do control. The place I can make a difference. The place where education actually happens whatever numbers are written in a book somewhere. What I do is spend a little time to get that lad to say \"My name is little Somchai.\" There I\'ve got Little Somchai to take a step forward. The next step could well be \"......and I am X years old.\"</p>\n<p>Now, if the Thai administration put pressure to put an inflated number in a book. I don\'t really care. There, Steve, that\'s making a difference where it matters means. Though I\'m certain you think failing Somchai and destroying his confidence to protect your integrity is more important.\"</p>\n<p><strong>By PJ, Khon Kaen on 2011-01-13</strong></p>\n<p>Before responding to PJ\'s points, I want to make something very clear: I am not in any way making a connection between the horrific crimes committed by John Wrenshall and anything else that follows. Wrenshall and his ilk represent the evil side of the TEFL industry while EFL teachers who simply don\'t care about an inflated number in a book is symptomatic of a cancer within the TEFL corpus for which we have yet to find a cure.</p>\n<p>I am not accusing you, PJ, of not caring about education. If you are who I think you are, (remember, you said that I sat in the teacher\'s room as quiet as a mouse so we must know each other), then you are a dedicated and caring teacher. My point here is that we must care about what kind of numbers are written in books because it is these numbers that parents rely upon to measure how much their child has learned. More importantly, billions of dollars are pored into education and all we can do with that kind of money at the end of the year is to inflate a number in a book so as not to have any parent lose face? That\'s the best we can do?</p>\n<p>It\'s not the system that sucks; it\'s people. People suck. More accurately, it\'s the people who run the schools who suck. Many are devoid of any pedagogical acumen and are more interested in maintaining power and the status quo.</p>\n<p>As far as the \"everyone must pass culture\", I know that you are frustrated with that as well; any true educator would be. Once an administrator tells you that everyone must pass, then it\'s time to move on since you are no longer an educator. But here\'s a truth that Thai school administrators don\'t seem to understand: Failure must be a part of school life because failure is a part of life. In other words, that\'s life. Now deal with it. Here is another truth: Sometimes the only way to succeed in life is to fail. Let me say that again because this is important.</p>\n<p>To fail, and to sometimes fail repeatedly, is the first step towards success.</p>\n<p>Wow! Think about that. How many novelists have you seen interviewed who said that their first manuscript was rejected a hundred times before their first book was published? How many inventors throughout history were ridiculed and laughed out of town before their inventions took hold and made them a fortune? And how many students had to fail before they realized that they had to roll up their sleeves and get to work or else they would end up as Tuk-Tuk drivers or bargirls?</p>\n<p>Most teachers, (most good and knowledgeable teachers anyway), will tell you that about 25 to 30 percent of students in any one class will fail. Why? It\'s the natural order of things. Three out of every ten students in any given class do not belong there. For whatever reason, and there are many, 30 percent of the students are either in the wrong class, or do not want to be there, or do not care at all about learning, or hate the teacher, or hate their parents, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Another 30 percent love to be there and wouldn\'t have it any other way. The remaining 40 percent are at various places in the middle. Its okay being at school; they can talk to their friends and they get along with their teachers sufficiently enough to learn a few things and pass the exams. But the 30 percent of the students who, for whatever reason, really and truly don\'t want to be there, if given the chance will inevitably fail their exams and their year.</p>\n<p>Besides being the natural order of things, a failure rate of around 20 to 25 percent is the only way to maintain any integrity that the teaching profession and the testing process may have. So one in four students must fail, and will fail, if we allow them to. And we must allow them to. It is the only way any of these students have to show us if they are serious about their studies. It is the only way any of these students have to show us if they are ready for the vigor\'s of the educational process, if they have what it takes inside to succeed. As teachers, we must give our students the opportunity to fail. Some students must be left behind--- and here\'s the trick--- for now. Some students must be left behind for now. As much as that sometimes hurts both the teacher and the student, it is the only way to measure progress: The progress of the student\'s learning and the progress of our teaching. If everyone passes then everyone fails. Everyone fails because as teachers we have effectively robbed our students of life\'s most important lesson:</p>\n<p>Through failure comes disappointment, hurt and pain; through disappointment, hurt and pain comes reflection; through reflection comes hard work, study, and planning; through hard work, study, and planning comes eventual success.</p>\n<p>In other words, failure is the first step on the long road towards success. Any teacher who does not allow his students to experience this has failed in his teaching.</p>\n<p>So yes, PJ, focus on that one small place where you can make a difference; the classroom. It\'s a great place to start. But there is a bigger picture here and the bigger picture is society. We educate not only the individual, we educate the individual so that he or she will take their rightful place in a society that is continuously in flux; a society that, hopefully, is evolving and bettering itself in some way.</p>\n<p>As for your last sentence, PJ, no I don\'t think destroying Somchai\'s confidence to protect my integrity is more important. Again, this is not about me or my integrity; it\'s about protecting the integrity of the teaching profession, or any integrity it may have left; especially in Thailand. You, as well as many others, seem to be forgetting why we educate. There are many reasons why we educate children, but here are two important factors:</p>\n<p>1) We may educate children today, but we never educate them FOR today. We educate them for tomorrow and everyday thereafter. <br />2) We educate the current generation of Thai children so that they won\'t end up as immoral, unethical, and corrupt as many in the previous generation.</p>\n<p>With this in mind, I hope you can see why it\'s very important to care about numbers on a page. This from the Bangkok Post under the headline: \"<a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/216482/our-national-teachers-day-is-a-celebration-of-failure\">Our National Teachers Day is a celebration of failure</a>\":</p>\n<p>So it\'s not just me. There are others out there in far more powerful positions that also see a problem with education. And it\'s not the system; it\'s the people who run the system and the teachers, both domestic and foreign, who blindly follow a backwards syllabus like lemmings.</p>\n<p>Here is part of another comment from JD in Chiang Mai in the comment section of my January blog:</p>\n<p>&nbsp;\"The details in the end are minor-a number in a book who cares, as long as each kid got something out of the time spent with you, even if its just Little Somchai that young lad would remember that and maybe he would work a little harder at English in the future, it doesn\'t really matter anyway because its a Class System society and therefore only the rich and powerful go to school SO WHO CARES IF YOU PASS THE KID.\" (Emphasis mine)</p>\n<p>Who cares if you pass the kid? Give this guy a teaching contract at 40,000 baht a month! We have a real winner here! But wait there\'s more.</p>\n<p>\"All you people who don\'t like it too bad! Go back to your own shit hole of westernized industrial, chemical treated country that you came from. For me its such a different planet, I mean it was one of the only countries in the world that was never invaded and occupied especially by colonial powers (England, France and Spain) and because of this they don\'t particularly care to learn your western trash language that has pieces of different languages mixed into it and is pretty much a contaminated language.\"</p>\n<p>I include JD\'s comments partly for comic relief, but he and so many others like him in Thailand, are a big part of the TEFL and ex-pat problem, or what I like to call the enemy within. Just one more quote from JD Einstein and I promise I\'ll stop.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;\"Anyway you\'re all missing the most key ingredient in to what makes Thai people \"lazy\" and \"non-developing\" educationally according to western standards. This of course is due to the Theravada form of Buddhism that 96% of the country practices and believes in. They believe that our souls are reincarnated many hundreds of times until we can reach Nirvana (an enlightened state) and finally &lsquo;get it right\'\".</p>\n<p>I wonder how many gin and tonics our buddy JD had to consume before he reached his \"enlightened\" state. No JD. No PJ. No JR or any other combination of initials English teachers in Thailand now prefer to refer to themselves. The reason why Thailand is falling behind even third-world countries educationally is this: They are terrified of competing against non-Thais, especially those from the West. This from Khun Fa Poonvoralak, a Thai novelist and the author of \"The Most Silent School in the World\": <br />\"The most silent classroom in the world! The title is beautiful and true. Most of the students drop out because, when they are in school, they feel like they aren\'t. There\'s no future waiting for them after graduation. We may not be able to compete with others. But it seems that this is the school\'s policy, this not wanting us to go out and compete. Also, the teacher simply told us that the school\'s policy is not to let us have a future, not to let us be educated.\" (Fa Poonvoralak, \"The Most Silent School in the World\"; Kodji Publisher, Bangkok, Thailand, page 19)</p>\n<p>Reading Thai authors is a great way of knowing the culture. I also highly recommend the novels of Khun Chart Korbjitti, a wonderful but dark writer who gets into the heart and soul of his fellow countrymen. For those who crave reading historical family sagas from a Thai perspective, the works of Khun Pensri Kiengsiri are also highly recommended.</p>\n<p>Other reasons why Thais are falling so far behind in education is, in no particular order, their lack of introspection, especially in asking the essential questions like \"How did I get here?\" and \"Where am I going?\"; their insistence on seeing themselves as little more than cogs in a bigger machine rather than as individuals in charge of their own destiny; their reliance on foreign revenue, especially through mass tourism, rather than generating their own revenue through innovation and entrepreneurship; their gullibility and susceptibility in believing just about everything their hear; their insistence on seeing their children, especially those in the lower and working classes, as a means to an end and not an end in themselves; a society that places fun and games above hard work; graft and corruption at all levels of society; and, as mentioned above, their irrational fear of competition with the outside world.</p>\n<p>Religion may play a part in this but it has become such a miniscule part in the 21st century in my opinion, as not to have any effect at all. There are other Buddhist countries with adequate educational systems, a highly skilled workforce with a strong work ethic, and a high per capita GDP. China, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea come to mind. These countries consistently rank in the top 10 when it comes to reading, math, and science scores, according to an Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report on education with China at number one, South Korea second and Hong Kong fourth. Where is Thailand? It barely makes the top 50, and it is well below the OECD average. <a href=\"http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/dec/07/world-education-rankings-maths-science-reading#data\">Check out the 2010 survey here</a></p>\n<p>At the language school where John Wrenshall and I taught, there were other supervisors who were fond of saying that \"good teachers are reflective teachers.\" Reflective teachers continually ask themselves, how can I continue to improve myself as a teacher? How can the next class be better than the last one? Good questions and well worth asking. I ask myself these questions, and others, every day. And I try to seek appropriate answers. But teachers can only become reflective and hope to better themselves in a culture that is reflective and inspires to better itself. Teachers who attempt to better themselves through reflection and introspection will hit a brick wall against an administration that wants nothing to do with change and is content with the way things are.</p>\n<p>\"Good teachers are reflective teachers\" becomes nothing but empty words if principals, vice-principals, supervisors, administrators, directors, and governments themselves don\'t reflect along with the teachers. Given what is happening at many schools in Thailand at the moment and where Thailand ranks educationally vis-&agrave;-vis other nations, perhaps it is time for everyone in Thailand to reflect; especially the Thais since it is their nation and their children\'s future that is at stake. If John Wrenshall and his ilk have taught us anything, it is this:</p>\n<p>There is an enemy within the TEFL and TESOL industry, and the enemy is us. Each and every one of us in one way or another is preventing this industry from moving forward. By keeping silent, by not speaking out against those who do harm to children, either by molesting them or by not teaching them properly, each and every one of us in one way or another is preventing this industry from taking its rightful place among the league of professions. This silence is what is causing evil to thrive not only in this industry, but in life.</p>\n<p>This industry ignores the real educational needs of children. We lock them up in schools all day but we have no idea what to do with them. We ignore them, we berate them, we ridicule them, we call them stupid, we beat them and we scold them. Now here is one thing we don\'t do with children: Educate them. We don\'t properly educate them. We give them easy tests so that everyone passes and we don\'t look bad. Then we wonder why the kids aren\'t learning. A smart bunch we teachers are. I would even go as far as to call what we are doing to students \"an educational holocaust\", but that\'s for another blog.</p>\n<p>Not caring about numbers on a page? Not caring about whether little Somchai passes or fails? I would contend that not caring about the students in Thailand is a prerequisite for the job. That thousands of TEFL teachers in Thailand simply don\'t care is a testament to the stupidity of those who hire them. John Wrenshall wasn\'t fired from the language school where we both worked; I was for speaking out like I am now. Teachers like PJ and JD won\'t be fired from their schools; teachers like me will be fired for challenging the students with reading and writing assignments that the administration, and some foreign teachers who fear making waves and deign to maintain the status quo, find controversial. One of the things that I find interesting (and frustrating) about this is that some of the very same schools who claim not to like my outspokenness have instituted and implemented the very same ideas that they rejected when I was employed there! Yes I know; nobody likes a smartass.</p>\n<p>So PJ and others: Somebody better start caring; somebody better start doing right by this industry. Somebody better stand up and shout at the top of their lungs that \"YES, WE CAN DO BETTER, MUCH BETTER! Because the Asian TEFL industry, and Thai TEFL in particular, with its incompetent Thai teachers, foreign classroom clowns, uncaring management, clueless administrators, and various drunks, perverts, and pedophiles makes this industry the real danger. It has become a joke, a laughing stock, and an embarrassment, a danger to students, a waste of time and money, and thus impossible to defend.</p>','','2011-03-06 17:51:09',1,'2011-03-06 17:51:09','2011-03-07 08:08:10'),(4584,59,'Classroom ice breakers','classroom-ice-breakers','How to start your lesson off the right way','Summer classes begin soon and many of us will be working during our vacation.

One of the problems we face is how to maintain student interest</p>\n<p>Harry, an ajarn blog reader,&nbsp;mentioned \"starters\"&nbsp;- and they are&nbsp;very relevant. \"A good beginning yields a good ending.\" So, Harry is right to ask for&nbsp;ideas for \"starters\" which I call \"ice breakers\", warm-up\" , \"motivation\", \"tone setter \"or introduction\". Whatever you call them,&nbsp;they serve the same objective - \"to set the tone of the lesson\".</p>\n<p>Starters help in establishing connection with the class. When students are not motivated, it\'s hard to get their attention. But once their interest is captured through meaningful starters, the rest of the activities will turn out well.</p>\n<p>In my observation, once a class is given a preliminary activity before \"the real McCoy,\" the battle is already half- won. From the starter, the well-planned lesson will go smoothly.</p>\n<p>But, at times, it is not desirable to start a lesson right away when students have just come from their physical education class, recess, or lunch. Many good teachers, who, as soon as their students come to class, tell their students first; go to the toilet, comb their hair, fix their blouse or shirt, powder their face, or fan themselves for a while, then begin the day\'s lesson.</p>\n<p>Similarly, we can prepare the students psychologically by providing meaningful activities that will entice students forget discomfort, overcome temptation to do other things, and be mesmerized by what\'s going on in the classroom.</p>\n<p>I have a number of starters to \"hypnotize\" students which I have found effective in my classes:</p>\n<p>1. Free Conversation - This is one of my favorite class starters for higher level classes especially those classes that have students who can express their thoughts and ideas already. It is simply done by starting a question that will lead to more questions that are relevant or somewhat relevant to the topic and require opinion or just anything a student can say. It may last from 5-10 minutes depending on how interesting the topic is.</p>\n<p>2. Costume Gimmick - Here the teacher may come into the class in a certain costume say, a clown, a chef, a patient, or whatever and the ball starts rolling.</p>\n<p>3. Lost Voice - This time, the teacher doesn\'t speak. He /she may speak with difficulty without a voice. Students may ask questions but the teacher just do gestures or write on the board. This is to encourage students to ask questions .</p>\n<p>4. Song and Dance - Using Genki English and Scholar songs your students will surely enjoy them.</p>\n<p>5. Telepathy Game - Here the students are challenged to read the teacher\'s mind. In groups, the students try to think of what the teacher thinks. For instance, the teacher thinks of a fruit. The group discusses and at a signal each leader of the group one at a time calls out what the teacher thinks. It is amazing. One or two groups can guess the right answer. To make the game easier, give five choices for student to think of.</p>\n<p>6. Mystery Bag - Objects related to the lesson are placed in an opaque bag. The student puts his/her hand inside and touch the object. Without seeing it, the student tries to guess its name. The student who can identify the object may get a sticker from the teacher.</p>\n<p>7.WH Time -Here the students ask either who, what, when, where, why, or how questions which can be answered by fellow student and so on and so forth.</p>\n<p>6. Freire Code - Inspired by a Brazilian educator, Paolo Freire. This a thematic illustration of a situation composed of a lot of scenarios, people, objects, and details. This is shown to the students. The students say what they see, identify the problem, and come up with solutions. This is a thought provoking activity I like and will generate a lot of language from the students.</p>\n<p>7. Psychological Tests -Like What\'s wrong with the picture? What is missing in the picure? How many faces can you see in the picture, etc.</p>\n<p>8. Puppet Talk -Using stuffed toys and dolls, toys, etc. Students invent dialogues of any kind and share them in class.</p>\n<p>9. Show and Tell - Students may take turn in bringing things of their choice - a collection, a gift, a valued object, etc. Two or three students share in front of the class each day.</p>\n<p>You can try some of these starters. If they fail the first time, don\'t be discouraged. Give it another try and the second time you do it I\'m sure it will turn out better. Tell you what, one reason why an activity sometimes plops is because the inst ruction isn\'t very clear, thus they couldn\'t grasp the mechanics well. Remember, our students are foreign or second language learners. Once they understand it they will surely enjoy it and they will clamor to have similar activity for the succeeding days. <br />You can also replicate your own starters and have them patronized by your students.</p>\n<p>Would you like to try these starters in your own classes? Tell me later if it worked or not.

I got curious&nbsp;about how this English Camp was done because honestly, there was no such thing when I was a student back home. But for the record, we were trained starting at the elementary level until college to compete in literary and musical competitions including oration, declamation, extemporaneous and impromptu speaking, debate, and campus journalism both in English and Filipino. Anyway, from the name \"English Camp\" alone, it wasn\'t difficult to get the idea. I was certain that it\'s similar to scouting camps only it\'s all about learning English with lots of fun and twists. So, it was my first immersion in facilitating a few English Camp activities. It was indeed fun and challenging!</p>\n<p>A year after, I was getting&nbsp;paid to facilitate the activities. Then I was asked to design a plan for one-day, two-day and three-day English Camps. The longest was five days! It was evident during those years and even until now that English Camps have also become a seasonal business opportunity to many.</p>\n<p>After those long stints in taking part of this English Camp craze, I thought of sharing a few tips and ideas that might help you spice up your activities a bit. I hope this helps.</p>\n<p><strong>Themes<br /></strong>English Camp themes give meaning to your activities. It also guides you on what kind of activities, how these activities should be facilitated, what specific skills do you require from your facilitators, and how much would the whole program cost. In any case, make sure that your themes are contemporary and co-curricular related.</p>\n<p>For example, in 2004, I designed a combination of REALITY TV SHOWS (contemporary), and GREEK MYTHOLOGY ( co-curricular) themes which helped me in conceptualizing the activities. Imagine some stations were doing \"America\'s Next Top Model,\" \" Amazing Race,\" and \"The Apprentice,\" to name a few. Meanwhile, group names and presentations (usually done in the evening) were focused on depicting famous Greek gods and goddesses.</p>\n<p><strong>Activities<br /></strong>Activities whether in the form of \"stations,\" presentations, songs and the like should always be new, challenging, interesting and language-task based. Some English Camp designers or directors never let go of the traditional like categorizing stations as \"songs,\" \"games,\" \"reading,\" \"writing,\" and so on. The presentations are also typically labeled as \"storytelling,\" \"Mr. and Miss English Camp,\" \"skits,\" and the like. The Ecamp (short for English Camp) songs are the usual \"Banana Song,\" \"Hokey-Pokey,\" \"Melody in My Heart,\" kind of songs that are available online. There is nothing wrong in \"reusing\" these old strategies but it is also nice in learning how to \"recycle\" them. I mean it is interesting and challenging to take a few risks by going beyond the common. Again, activities should be contemporary and co-curricular related.</p>\n<p>For instance, this summer, we\'re doing three combinations of \"Entrepreneurial Skills\", \"FaceBook\" and \"Lady Gaga\" inspirations (contemporary) as an interpretation of a simple-sounding general theme called \" Play It! Learn It! Show It.\" Some station activities are designed to give the campers (students) some worthwhile income-generating skills like baking, cooking, building crafts and even bartending (non-alcoholic of course). This set of activities requires us to hire \"specialized\" facilitators. Other fun activities are based on FaceBook games (contemporary) like \"Music Challenge,\" \"Caf&eacute; World,\" \" Family Feud,\" and \"Treasure Isle.\" It might sound like \"the same old concept\" but we incorporate technological tools and challenging tasks with twists. The campers\' presentations include \"choral reading and singing\" based on Queen\'s Bohemian Rhapsody (of course edited and re-arranged to suit the need), \"Lady Gaga inspired Outfits for a short Fashion Show,\" and themed group presentations that are related to G8 countries (co-curricular) which aimed at team building and leadership skills.</p>\n<p>Another thing that you should be reminded of is that all activities should be related to your Ecamp Theme even in selecting a list of your Ecamp Songs. Interestingly, we selected a few lines from the famous songs of Lady Gaga, and converted them as repeat-after-me and round songs. This makes the idea of using \"Lady Gaga\" as one of the groups\' fashion show presentation related to our risky Ecamp Songs. I believe you get the whole idea. <br />Themes and Activities for the \"Advanced\"</p>\n<p>Designing Ecamp activities for young kids with a \"Beginner\" English proficiency level isn\'t really that complicated. It is always safe to common activities. However, what if your campers belong to the English Program whose English levels are likely \"Advanced\"?</p>\n<p>You might have tried the activities that I am about to tell you but I\'ll tell them anyway. In 2006, I introduced a quite sophisticated theme called \"language and technology\" to our Ecamp for our third year high school EP students. The tasks are to produce \"MTV,\" \"Documentary,\" and \"TV Plugs.\" These activities require good detailing of list of songs to choose from, language skills, clear procedures and ample timetable, teamwork coordination, and of course cost budgeting. Oftentimes high-budgeted Ecamp get the best deals. In three days time, we needed to get their outputs done (which involved late hours work) for their graduation day presentation.</p>\n<p>There are many variations that you may use like \"news broadcasting and reporting,\" \"acting using famous movie lines,\" and \" TV commercials.\" The strengths of this type of Ecamp are: appropriate culminating activities of co-curricular trainings on campus journalism; provides good assessment on how students use some micro-language skills and emotions naturally; inspires students to learn computer software applications; challenges students to work as a team; and the outputs can be submitted for local public viewing.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, I believe that you have tons of good ideas for your Ecamp activities (well, if the school administration supports them). Whatever you want to do think of the two important ingredients to spice up your Ecamp activities: contemporary and co-curricular related.</p>\n<p>(Please visit <a href=\"http://www.abelcadias.blog.co.uk\">my blog</a>)</p>','','2011-03-17 21:30:20',1,'2011-03-17 21:30:20','2011-03-18 11:11:21'),(4804,20,'Failing students and the failing ESL industry','failing-students-and-the-failing-esl-industry','Failing young students is simply a poor strategy','Without a doubt the ESL industry around the world is primarily a scam that is governed by unscrupulous business people that rarely have any pedagogical knowledge or academic backgrounds in the field of education','<p><strong>Giving students an \"F\" grade.</strong>\n<p>Failing young students, especially those in prathom and mathaiyom, is simply a poor strategy. Extensive research has been done in this area and it clearly indicates that there are numerous negative emotional consequences to failing a child and holding them back a grade while their peers move forward. Additionally, there are virtually no academic benefits that result from keeping a child back a grade level. Hayhurst (2007) notes, \"Leaders in the education community cite definitive research that shows failing struggling students in elementary school provides no academic advantages; researchers in the 1930s first reported negative effects of retention on achievement. Meanwhile, many studies show an association between retention and dropping out of school.\" I can go on and on with citations to substantiate the point, but I think you get the picture.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, is it really a critical issue that all Thai students develop competency in English language skills? Regardless of the lofty ideals of the MOE\'s Key Stage and General Stage Curriculum Outcomes, the fact is few Thais will ever really need to have command of English in order to succeed in life. Sure, those who are motivated enough to want to excel in the language, or those who have a God-given talent for language acquisition, may very well end up with better employment or educational opportunities in their lives. But at the end of the day those who do not gain competency in English during their younger years can endeavour to do so later in life once they gain the motivation to do so. The door is never closed on learning.</p>\n<p>As educators we must endeavour to nurture all aspects of a child\'s development. We must focus on their strengths and ensure that they excel in these areas. In areas where they are weak, we must provide educational support mechanisms such as peer grouping and employ teaching strategies such as Piaget\'s and Vygotsky\'s \"Social Constructivism\" which allows for students to gain competency and skills through group learning. Failing students is simply not the answer here.</p>\n<p><strong>ESL Industry Failings</strong></p>\n<p>Without a doubt the ESL industry around the world is primarily a scam that is governed by unscrupulous business people that rarely have any pedagogical knowledge or academic backgrounds in the field of education. Worse yet, are those with the actual pedagogical training and educational qualifications who choose to employ their expertise for monetary gain without actually delivering the quality education they all-too-often proclaim to offer. Academic pursuits that are not rooted in altruistic values of dedication to student learning are simply immoral and unethical.</p>\n<p>Apart from the heinous acts of the so-called language institutes and school administrators that see English as an easy \"cash cow,\" the other side of this industry that is acting completely irresponsible are the pseudo wannabe pretend English teachers that are using this industry as a tool to earn fast and easy money so they can travel the globe. Real educators take upon themselves a huge responsibility when they take a child into their care. Those of you who are in the ESL industry, and the education sector in general, need to ask yourselves one very simple question, \"If it were my child that I was sending into a classroom to develop their intellect and knowledge, would I trust and believe that the teacher who is responsible for my child\'s education has the dedication and competency to actually teach my child effectively?\" If you are true to yourself it is all-to-likely that when you look in the mirror you will recognize that you are not competent enough to stand in a classroom. So, DON\'T DO IT! You are acting irresponsibly and having a deleterious effect on the development of an innocent child who has been entrusted to you by people who believe that you can educate them.</p>\n<p>The ESL industry should not be a tool for people to travel the globe and make money to support their wanderlust. Find another way to support your travels and leave the development of a child\'s education to people who are qualified educators and dedicated to the child\'s learning.</p>\n<p>The ESL industry is long overdue for some governance and legislation that will protect the education of innocent children. Perhaps part of the reason why students fail at language acquisition is that the classrooms are full of hacks that have no idea how to actually teach language. And for this there are those out there who proclaim that students should be held back a year for not achieving the KSCO of that academic year. Ridiculous! The onus is on the teachers to deliver a quality education and set up strategies to ensure that the weaker students are provided with the support and tools they need to succeed. Grow up people. If you want to teach English, then be an educator. If not, get the hell out of the classroom and stop blaming students, bad school administrators, and scamming language institute business people for all the failings of students. At the end of the day it is you, the teacher-mentor-educator, that has within your hands the capability to change the lives of your students. Regardless of all the external forces outside of the classroom, if you are truly a dedicated educator that cares about your students, you will succeed in helping them to learn.</p>\n<p><strong>D.Burke</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2011-04-01 23:47:12',1,'2011-04-01 23:47:12','2011-04-02 14:02:13'),(4808,52,'April 2011','april-2011','News, promotions and offers for ajarn readers from Thailand\'s TEFL courses','Thailand is a great place to take your TEFL course.

','<p>As foreigners teaching in a foreign country, what are the expectations and where are the boundaries?</p>\n<p>Most modern educators seem to agree the role of the teacher includes more than just teaching the subject matter. For example, these days in academia there is a push towards working on improving the students\' soft skills, e.g. reading, speaking, and critical thinking, along with teaching the subject matter. But how far can one go teaching outside the topic before the charge of cultural imperialism is leveled?</p>\n<p>Language and culture are intertwined and an English teacher quite naturally often becomes a teacher of western culture as well as a language. But is there a difference between teaching about western culture and promoting personal values based on western cultural ideas? This would appear to be a very tricky line to straddle and an area that appears to often trip up foreign teachers in Thailand and throughout Asia.</p>\n<p>Most people would appear to agree that the classroom is generally not the most appropriate place to advocate one\'s religious beliefs.</p>\n<p>Likewise most educational professionals would also agree the classroom it not the place for an individual to stand on his or her soapbox and promote specific political candidates or movements.</p>\n<p>Is the principle of advocating western cultural values any different than advocating religious or political viewpoints? All of us think our personal viewpoints are \"right\", otherwise we would change our opinions, but of course all viewpoints are based on underlying assumptions that may or may not be different from the underlying assumptions of other individuals. Also one\'s cultural background has a significant impact on one\'s underlying assumptions.</p>\n<p>Let us take the perennial complaint of foreign teachers against the \"everyone passes\" policy in Thai high schools. Most complaints about this policy are based on assumptions based on individualist, competitive and egalitarian western values. It would appear it is assumed by those making the complaints the primary goals of education are the increasing of skills within individuals and the creation of a hierarchy based on individual achievement. One the other hand Thailand is a more collectivist and hierarchical country (At least if we believe Hofstede\'s research) and therefore cooperation often replaces competition in order of priority in education.</p>\n<p>If one uses the western values as the benchmark to judge the Thai educational system, the Thai system will always fall short. But is it possibility for a foreign teacher to teach in Thailand without placing judgments on every aspect of the Thai educational system? Is it the western teacher\'s responsibility to attempt to promote practices and values on western cultural assumptions?</p>\n<p>I am currently teaching a course for an American university on business ethics in China, which many westerners claim, unfairly in my view, is an oxymoron. Therefore I am confronted daily with the dilemma of balancing the views of the American textbook and the cultural context I work in. While doing case studies, my students routinely came up with conclusions that according to western values would be the unethical choice. Does that imply the Chinese are unethical? Yes if we use underlying assumptions based on western values but I am not convinced Chinese students are less (or more) ethical than any other nationality. But the underlying assumptions and priorities are often different than one would expect with western students.</p>\n<p>Instead of advocating any specific values and trying to impose cultural values upon our students, maybe it would be a better idea to respect the intelligence and decision making ability of our students (even the young ones) and expose students to values, practices and ideas based on different cultural values than their own without implying these ideas are better than the ideas from the student\'s own culture. Exposure to different ideas and allowing individuals to think for themselves and choose for themselves what ideas, practices and principles to adsorb and which to reject may be closer to the true spirit of education than would be expecting students to accept and take onboard all ideas and values from any individual teacher.</p>\n<p>Growing up in a rural Midwestern US environment and having lived in Thailand for over a decade (A still make my home between semesters in Thailand) and Asia in general for over 15 years, I feel my life has been greatly enhanced by the exposure to different ways of thinking and living. However I have not abandoned all of my rural American cultural values, instead I have adjusted and expanded my values due to being exposed to so many different ideas and ways of living. The same principle applies to our students. Our students do not have to accept all American, British or Canadian values to benefit from exposure to teachers and new ideas from different cultures.</p>\n<p>A teacher in Thailand does not have to become Thai or adapt Thai values to be an effective teacher in Thailand. However a teacher should respect the culture of the country he or she works in and accept the fact that students will not automatically want to adapt all of the teacher\'s values as their own.</p>\n<p>Being a foreign English teacher involves more than teaching grammar and English vocabulary, but acting as if one were a missionary for western cultural values will normally result in dissatisfaction for the teacher, students, and school.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2011-04-04 03:48:19',1,'2011-04-04 03:48:19','2011-04-04 17:05:20'),(4958,20,'Whole brain teaching techniques','whole-brain-teaching-techniques','An amazing new approach to teaching that really works','Do you want to be able to control a roomful of pratom one students with one simple word? ?

Characterized as a \"grassroots movement\" originating in California over a decade ago it is rapidly gaining entry into the mainstream approach to education in America. It has it\'s genesis is in neurophysiological research into the brain and its leaning processes. The research showed that learning takes place far more effectively when connections are made between the cognitive right hemisphere and creative left hemisphere of the brain.(Traditionally educational methodology has been focused on primarily right brain activity). From this research three educators, a university professor of philosophy, a secondary school teacher, and a primary school teacher developed, and continue develop the techniques originally know as \"Power Teaching\".</p>\n<p>The basic techniques can be learned and implemented very rapidly. They are:<br /><br />1) CLASS-YES. You say \"class\" and your students will respond \"yes\" the key is that they must mimic your tone of voice. Very easy to get Thai kids to do this. The sillier the tone of voice the better. If you say \"classy classy classy\" (in a high whiny tone for example) they must respond \"yessy sessy yessy\" in the same tone. They will do it and you will have their 100 per cent attention. This technique has to do with the way this technique affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain. <br /><br />2) MIRROR. Students must mirror the gestures you make while speaking. An example for an TEFL setting this could be having everyone stand and kick an imaginary soccer ball while saying \"I like soccer\". By mimicking the way the teacher is kicking and speaking simultaneously they are activating both parts of the brain. Whenever that happens it\'s always sanook too!<br /><br />3) HANDS AND EYES. Similar to the CLASS-YES but with this technique the students must immediately clasp their hands together and look directly at you while you give them some small bit information or instruction. Amazingly they will comply and do this. <br /><br />4) MICRO TEACHING. You only present a small piece of information at one time (which is always followed up by a TEACH-OK explained below). For example if teaching the past perfect we just give one small piece of information such as \"the past perfect is always formed with had\" . Always a very small bit of information. Notice I did not say \" had plus past participle\". You break it down to the smallest possible element and add on more information as you progress. <br /><br />5) TEACH-OK. Research shows that we learn the most and retain the most when actively engaged in the teaching process. Sticking with the past perfect example: You say TEACH! the Students then say OK! again mimicking your tone of voice. They then work with a partner and repeat to each other, using gestures, \"the past perfect is always formed with had.\" You pair weaker with stronger students of course and as they teach and help each other the vital connections between the brains hemispheres are being made. After a short time you call the class\'s attentions back to you with a \"CLASS-YES.<br /><br />6) THE FIVE CLASSROOM RULES. This is targeted more at classroom management when teaching kids however rule 5 is implemented with all students. They are: 1) follow directions quickly, 2)raise your hand to speak with appropriate gesture 3) raise your hand to get out of your seat with appropriate gesture 4)Make smart choices and 5)Keep your teacher happy. You must practice the rules with the kids daily until they know them. <br /><br />7) THE SCOREBOARD. This is a happy face drawn beside a smiley face separated by a line. Positive reinforcement is given when students are performing well and doing what is expected and a check placed in the happy face column and reinforced with a mighty \"OH YEA\" chanted by the kids (or adults). When underperforming a check is placed in the frowny face column and a might OH NO is sighed by the class. At the end of class if there are more frowny face checks than smiley ones there is more homework assigned , conversely good behavior and cooperation can be rewarded with less homework. (Important not to let more than a total of three negative checks accrue in relation to the number of smiley checks or the students become resentful and the scoreboard loses its effectiveness) <br /><br />These are just the basic techniques. There is a lot more to \"Whole Brain Teaching\". However if you implement just one or two of the techniques you will immediately see a dramatic change in your class. I would also like to note that this works exceptionally well with autistic and ADD kids. I have had both and in in both cases amazing improvements were made. In fact the kid with ADD became a class leader in many ways.</p>\n<p>WBT can be used with in any age group and can be blended them with other techniques. Power Teachers are having successes working with kids in the most difficult situations in inner city schools in America dramatically improving behavior in class and raising test scores. Conditions are never as tough in Thailand as they are in places like South Central L.A. What works there in terms of giving the teacher control of a classroom can and does work in Thailand. It is amazing stuff, almost scary when you first use it. If you care about your students and your performance as a teacher go to the <a href=\"http://www.powerteachers.net/\">Power Teachers</a> website and find out more about it. There are massive amounts of information about the techniques all of which can be downloaded for free.

','<p>Much like the landscape, the underwater world in Thailand is rich in natural beauty and diversity. Claiming one of the top ten dive areas in the world and split geographically between two seas, Thailand\'s waters are also home to some of the worlds\' largest pelagic creatures such as manta rays and whale sharks. Choosing the best dive sites, however, is not just a simple case of creating a list. Strong currents and deep waters mean that some of the most spectacular and memorable dives are reserved only for advanced divers with the right experience under their weight belts. With this in mind I have written this article from the perspective of a complete beginner and the order in which I would suggest tackling the various underwater wonders on offer.</p>\n<p>First you have to learn to dive (assuming you are not already certified). Since on completion of your Open Water Diver course you are only qualified to dive in conditions equivalent to or better than those in which you learnt, it\'s probably advisable not to do your course in completely idyllic conditions as these will then be difficult to replicate. This makes the Northern Gulf of Thailand a perfect place to start. The visibility is generally not as good as the south and experience of tidal current can be introduced gradually under controlled conditions, although in terms of marine life there is still plenty to see.</p>\n<p>As a newly certified Open Water Diver I would suggest that your next port of call be Koh Tao. The easiness of the dive sites here combined with the relatively good visibility and quality of the reef make it an ideal place to further your experience. There are over 30 dive sites all within a maximum distance of 45 minutes by boat. Twin Peaks and Green Rock are notable starter sites with plenty of variety in coral, sponges and tropical fish and minimal current to boot. As your underwater ability increases you will want to try more adventurous dives such as the renowned Chumphon Pinnacle where you may be lucky enough to encounter grey reef sharks bigger than you (although quite harmless) and Sail Rock with its underwater chimney rising from 18m all the way to the surface. Both of these sites are regularly visited by whale sharks and are a must see.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/anemone.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"400\" /></p>\n<p>As we move further south it may be a good idea to consider an Advanced Open Water certification (again assuming you are not already there) in order to fully appreciate the exciting new spots. From Phuket you can reach many of the best places including multiple sites around Racha Yai, Racha Noi, Phi Phi and various other outcrops and islands. Shark Point; Anemone Reef and Koh Ma number among the more gentle dives and they are blessed with an amazing array of underwater flora and fauna, whilst King Cruiser makes for an unforgettable wreck dive. Leopard sharks and turtles are common here as are stingrays and the more discerning can spot seahorses and frogfish and all different kinds of moray eel. For the really large pelagic encounters you cannot miss.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;South Pinnacle (Raya Noi) and Hin Daeng &amp; Hin Muang. These are not for the faint hearted and I would recommend an absolute minimum of 20 dives before attempting them. On my first dive at the Pinnacle I saw absolutely nothing (apart from huge manta rays) and I breathed my tank dry in 27 minutes (I have been diving for 20 years). This is how strong the current can be. The two Hins (Hin Daeng &amp; Hin Muang - red and purple) are so called because of the colour of the soft corals that adorn them and are considered the jewels of the South Andaman. Whale Sharks and Manta rays love these places almost as much as divers do. It\'s not difficult to see why. Even when the gentle giants are absent the spectacular drop offs, amazing visibility and sheer volume of marine life tantalize the senses. Again these places are not to be missed, but require a certain skill in order to be fully appreciated.</p>\n<p>Now you are ready for the Similan Islands and Surin, the ultimate in Thailand\'s diving inventory. Although there are many dive sites here suitable for novice divers, as usual the best ones tend to be deep and subject to strong current. Big fish, I\'m afraid, just love strong current and once you get used to it so will you. The best way to see them is on a three to five day liveaboard cruise, and it would be a shame to shell out the money for this if you cannot enjoy it to the max.</p>\n<p>In the Similans, Christmas Point is a dramatic series of underwater pinnacles and canyons. Here you\'ll find an explosion of life in the soft coral gardens; parrotfish, lionfish, wrasse and groupers are all common. There are often big jacks on the hunt here and you may glimpse white tip sharks prowling. Elephant rock is unsurprisingly named after the bulbous looking rock formation. This dive site is one of the best around. Below the surface it offers gigantic stacked boulders and a labyrinth of swimthroughs, arches and caverns. Marine life is abundant and huge schools of yellow goatfish and snappers can be found around the deeper levels. Turtle Rock is an impressive series of submerged boulders and swimthroughs in typical Similan fashion. Surrounded by coral and marine life this is one of the better places to spot turtles. Encounters with eagle rays are not uncommon.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/manta.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" /></p>\n<p>Moving towards Surin, Koh Bon features one of the only vertical walls in Thailand with depths of over 40 metres. Leopard sharks are common on the ridge and on the sandy flats below the. The soft corals here are radically different and include shades of turquoise, yellow and blue, besides the more common pinks and purples. Koh Bon is one of the better places to see manta rays, especially towards the end of the season. Koh Tachai has an offshore underwater ridge that runs perpendicular to the island and is considered to be one of the finest dives in the Kingdom of Thailand. It is famous as a place to see larger animals such as rays, leopard sharks, nurse sharks and hawksbill turtles. Richelieu Rock is Surin\'s ace card. It is a small submerged rock about 18 km east of Surin and rates as one of the best places in the world for swimming with the whale shark. For some reason, Richelieu Rock attracts more than its fair share of these graceful animals.</p>\n<p>If by now you have the impression that manta and whale shark sightings are commonplace please accept my apologies. Such encounters although frequent remain a privilege and an honour and the animals themselves choose when. Also in the world of diving no two days are the same. Keep an open mind and accept that everything is subject to the laws of nature and you will not be disappointed. That said, the more often you dive these places the better chance you have, by the law of averages and the more you dive the better diver you become. So where does it go from here? Well, you may have noticed that Bangkok sits right in the middle of Southeast Asia, which arguably makes it centre of the diving universe. It gets better.

Please try not to laugh too loud.','<p>I would like to talk to you once again, the readers of ajarn.com, about the wonderful world of teacher licensing in Thailand. It\'s been quite a while since my last blog but Phil has begged me to bring everyone up to speed. Does anyone really know what\'s going on?</p>\n<p>Many readers, friends, fellow teachers and administrators, som tam&nbsp;sellers and people on the web are understandably rather confused by the current state of affairs. I just wanted to write this&nbsp;blog to help clear up the confusion because&nbsp;that\'s the&nbsp;way I roll. I\'m just here to keep it&nbsp;real. Well, as real as one can in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>OK, here\'s what we know for sure.</strong></p>\n<p>1) The infamous 20-hour Thai Language Culture and Professional Ethics courses have all been temporarily suspended. This is because The Teachers Council of Thailand (TCT) thought that the curriculums and teaching methodologies of the institutions licensed to hold this class were apparently&nbsp;\"less than ideal\". What? Am I hearing this correctly? (You ask as you scratch your head in dismay). That\'s right.&nbsp;No more&nbsp;ramwong sessions with Mike Piromporn blaring in the background? All that was missing was a 100 Pipers with soda, ice and glasses. I liked it! I even bought som tam and gai yang for the teacher and my classmates. I thought the classes were hilarious! An endless source of entertainment. Er, I mean...knowledge and enlightenment. Sorry. Oh well, can\'t have everything.</p>\n<p>The TCT will, in theory, let the public know if and when the classes are back on. For those of you who really, really, really want to take the class, please&nbsp;stifle your disappointment. Or don\'t. I\'m all about freedom of choice.</p>\n<p>2) The 4-part teacher licensing exams have also&nbsp;been temporarily suspended. The reasons are...well...do I really need to go into this? If you\'ve seen, heard or experienced any of the test questions for yourself, you\'ve probably almost recovered by now. Breathe in...breathe out. Paint happy tree, with some happy clouds. By the way, the 9-part exam for Thai teacher applicants has also been suspended, lest you cry \"racism\", \"xenophobia\" or \"Olivia Newton-John\"</p>\n<p>3) The one-year Teacher Professional Licensing courses,&nbsp;which several local universities had running in English, have all been temporarily suspended. Are you beginning to see a pattern develop here?&nbsp;This is because The Teachers Council of Thailand (TCT) thought that the curriculums and teaching methodologies of the institutions licensed to hold this class were \"less than ideal\" (yes, I\'ve used that sentence before I know)&nbsp;</p>\n<p>There was only one university whose curriculum was actually approved right from the beginning, and that university isn\'t even in Bangkok. So all of those people who spent their hard earned money and their time to take the classes, because they thought that it would fulfill their teacher license requirements are...well...let\'s see. My Grandfather used to have a saying about people like that. He would say \"they\'re in the prison shower room with no bar of soap.\" My heartfelt condolences go out&nbsp;to all of you who did the course. Hopefully they\'ll actually be worth something in the future. The TCT will, in theory, let the public know if and when the classes are back on and, hopefully, with curriculums that are actually approved.</p>\n<p>So now the billion dollar question - how is a person to get a non-immigrant visa and a work permit without a teacher\'s license when a teacher\'s license is the first thing immigration asks for now?</p>\n<p>The <strong>ONLY</strong> thing that seems to be working now is for the school&nbsp;where a prospective teacher intends to work to type up an official letter, signed by the principal (or someone else in authority) asking the Teachers Council to please issue a \"Temporary Permit to Teach Without a Teachers License\".</p>\n<p>Here is the explanation in Thai, for school administrators, etc. (ทำจดหมายถึงเลขาธิการคุรุสภาเพื่อขอหนังสือขออนุญาตให้ครูชาวต่างชาติปฏิบัติการสอนไปก่อนโดยไม่มีใบอนุญาตประกอบวิชาชีพ)</p>\n<p>The reason cited for the request should be something along the lines of \"This teacher is unable to attempt to become qualified, since all the methods of becoming qualified have been temporarily suspended. <strong>This route has worked for about twenty teachers that I know personally.</strong> Good luck. Hope it works for you. I don\'t know what else we can do. They\'ve closed off all avenues of us trying to be good boys and girls and abide by the rules.</p>\n<p>The confusion and lack of professionalism does not discriminate based on race, religion, political beliefs, sexual orientation or favorite Mirinda flavor. It\'s an equal opportunity culprit. Case in point? My wife (who is Thai) recently registered for a Masters in Educational Administration at a Bangkok university well known for degrees in education. They took her money and gave her a schedule of classes, which starts in June. Then, two days ago, she was reading Koo Sahng Koo Sohm magazine. The owner of that magazine is on the Governing Council of The Teachers Professional Licensing Review Board. Let\'s not even bother asking why. T.I.T.</p>\n<p>In the most recent issue there was an article describing, in minute detail, which teacher licensing procedural steps were canceled (all of them) and why. Now, in preparation for writing this blog, I called&nbsp;three different people I know at the TCT. I looked at The TCT website. I got more detail from my wife\'s ladies gossip, homemaker and ghost story magazine!</p>\n<p>So there you have it. There used to be&nbsp;four different ways for us to try and jump through the hoops. Now three of those hoops have been put in the back storage room and nobody has the key. From now on folks, if you want to know the most up to date status of the various issues that have a direct effect on your profession, go buy a copy of Koo Sahng Koo Sohm magazine! It comes out twice a month and only costs 20 baht an issue! There\'s even a section of pages&nbsp;at the back where you can get the phone numbers to get cheap ringtones of the latest \"Bird\" song or half naked pics of Beer Leo girls! Who could ask for more?</p>\n<p>Oh well........I\'m glad I could help to clear up all this nasty, senseless confusion. Good luck out there.</p>','','2011-04-28 07:09:44',1,'2011-04-28 07:09:44','2011-04-28 21:09:45'),(5083,10,'A cultural curveball','a-cultural-curveball','Just when you think you know most things about Thai culture','Having lived in Thailand more than twenty years, one likes to think themselves as au fait with most aspects of Thai culture, and then some innocuous situation develops and you\'re left wondering if you truly know the first thing about Thai culture at all.','<p>Having lived in Thailand more than twenty years, one likes to think themselves as au fait with most aspects of Thai culture, and then some innocuous situation develops and you\'re left wondering if you truly know the first thing about Thai culture at all.\n<p>The incident in question revolved around our maid. At least my wife refers to as the maid. I think the term &lsquo;cleaning lady\' would probably be more accurate. Add comes to the house once a week to clean and mop and get through ridiculous quantities of my expensive furniture polish; in addition, she waters the garden every morning - a task for which I\'m extremely grateful if only because it saves me a precious thirty minutes a day and means I don\'t get eaten alive by mosquitoes and fire ants. Add has been coming to us for about a year now. She\'s very polite and works hard. I like her. And so does my wife.</p>\n<p>Add is the quintessential \'poor-as-a-church-mouse\' Bangkok Thai. She\'s about 50 but looks 70. She\'s hardly got a tooth in her head. A whole life of hardship is etched on her face. Her husband pissed off for a younger model and left her with two teenage sons who now spend most of their time sniffing illegal substances, racing stolen motorbikes and bunking off school. And home to all three of them is a corrugated iron lean-to adjacent to a foul-smelling canal. It\'s hard to imagine a woman who has a larger burden on such painfully bony shoulders.</p>\n<p>Anyway, a few weeks ago, I went downstairs while Add was polishing a large chest of drawers. I could instantly see that she had opened the bottom drawer where we keep all our photo albums. The drawers are made out of sturdy stuff. There was no way&nbsp;one would have accidentally slid open to reveal its secrets and it takes a fair amount of force to open that bottom drawer, especially as it\'s weighted down with a dozen or so albums.</p>\n<p>So there was Add, lost in her own little world, looking at a collection of photos we took in England over 10 years ago. I presume she had already been through the wedding photo albums as well.</p>\n<p>When I walked in and disturbed her, Add tried desperately to force the albums quickly back into the drawer. I could sense she was embarrassed. But to make light of the situation - because I really didn\'t see any harm in it - I joked that I looked a lot thinner ten years ago and just laughed the whole situation off. But there was no concealing her embarrassment.</p>\n<p>In the evening I casually mentioned the event to my wife. I genuinely thought it nothing more than a slightly amusing anecdote. I certainly didn\'t anticipate the reaction I got from her. My wife went ballistic and immediately phoned her mother. Her mother went ballistic and then some. Add had clearly crossed a line. I just wasn\'t sure what the line was.</p>\n<p>I begged both my wife and mother-in-law not to say anything to Add because it would make me out to be a snitch. And that is not what I wanted. Surely I was a guy with better things to do than filing daily reports on the cleaning lady. The whole situation felt too trivial to even merit a conversation. Sneaking a look at a photo album is perfectly OK with me. No one dies in the process. But my wife and mother-in-law were adamant - the cleaner had to be reminded that she was there to clean and to do nothing else unless instructed otherwise.</p>\n<p>Always at the back of my mind is the fact that in Thailand, these cleaners, maids or \'service people\' if I can call them that, can be incredibly difficult to find and replace if you dismiss them. It\'s something I felt my wife and mother-in-law would only consider after the event. You would think that in a relatively poor country like Thailand, people would be queuing up to do a few hours of casual work for cash in hand but in reality, I\'ve found the opposite to be true. Trustworthy and reliable cleaners are very hard to find.</p>\n<p>In fact, we lost our last cleaner to a local shoe factory. She worked for us for over six months but was obviously always on the lookout for something better - or rather better paid.</p>\n<p>If you pay a Thai cleaner let\'s say 300 baht for a three-hour morning shift and a local factory owner comes in with an offer of 350 baht for a 12 hour shift on a conveyor belt, standing knee-deep in shit, then an extra 50 baht more is all the incentive that your loyal and trustworthy employee needs to put down her mop and floor-shine and walk out of your life forever.</p>\n<p>For these reasons, I like to look after Add. I don\'t want to lose her or I\'m back outside with the hose-pipe, fighting a losing battle with the fire ants. At Christmas I gave Add a card that I got my wife to write in and thank her for all the hard work she\'d put in over the past 12 months - and I put 3,000 baht in it, a considerable amount of cash for someone like Add, for whom every ten baht counts. My wife even moaned at that saying I was being far too generous. But once again, it\'s just me being smart and making sure that Add doesn\'t run off to the shoe factory.</p>\n<p>I don\'t just give Add a chunk of cash at the end of each year. I donate clothes to her two teenage boys so they can at least good when they are trying to dodge the cops on stolen motorcycles, and I make sure I bring her a little souvenir from our vacations abroad. It\'s after all the thought that counts.</p>\n<p>I posted this &lsquo;cultural dilemma\' on the ajarn discussion forum and was pleased to see it sparked some lively debate. But the forum members were very divided in their opinions. There was obviously no easy solution. On one side you had the people who agreed with me and said my wife and mother-in-law should put up and shut up. And in the blue corner, there were people who felt the maid had certainly done wrong and who knows what might happen if I left money lying around or she found the key to the showcase containing my wife\'s jewel-encrusted scepter and small collection of diamond tiaras. The message was plain and clear - the cleaning lady can no longer be trusted.</p>\n<p>One problem I have in dealing with things is that I\'m British. I come from a culture where service people and handymen, if not quite treated like members of the family, are certainly treated well. To me it\'s just plain common sense. The better you look after someone, the better the job they do for you - at least in theory.</p>\n<p>Right from when I was a small boy, I can remember plumbers, carpenters and builders coming to our home and the first thing my Mom or Dad would do is offer them a cup of tea and a biscuit. Then there would be a lengthy chat about the weather, the current state of the plumbing trade and Arsenal\'s changes in next week\'s FA Cup Final. It\'s the very British way of doing things and it becomes a part of your character. It\'s nigh on impossible to shake off. Eventually a little bit of plumbing work might get done - as long as you kept the plumbers happy with mugs of \'milky tea&nbsp;and eight sugars\'. And that\'s the kind of culture that many of us grew up in. Treating handymen and service people well is just second nature to us.</p>\n<p>It\'s the complete opposite in Thailand I\'ve noticed. When handymen come to our Bangkok home, they are lucky to get half a glass of tepid tap-water, and that\'s only if it\'s a hot day and my mother-in-law takes pity on them. If it was left to my wife, they\'d get sod all. I used to be the one fussing around like a tart offering visitors glasses of Pepsi or orange juice and the refreshing tinkle of ice-cubes. But my wife would shoo me away and say \"no need, no need\"</p>\n<p>On the rare occasion I\'ve been allowed to offer an ice-cold glass of Coke to a Thai tradesman, I can never fathom what their reaction really indicates. Surprise? Shock? Gratitude? Embarrassment? I\'ve never worked it out. But it\'s certainly something they don\'t expect or get at any other household they call on.</p>\n<p>Thai service people seem to operate under some kind of &lsquo;invisible contract\'. No one has drawn it up but the points are clear. You are here to do a job. You will be paid an agreed fee for that job. And once you have finished you will leave promptly until the next time I require your services. Pleasantries are optional. I may surprise a few people here but I think when it comes to treating your fellow countrymen like shit, the Thais have very few equals.</p>\n<p>Oh, if you\'ve read this far, you\'re probably wondering what the outcome of the maid story was? Well, Add did get a ticking off for going through the drawers (I\'m not sure how severe that ticking off was) but she\'s still working for us and that\'s what really matters. We haven\'t lost her to the shoe factory just yet.</p>\n</p>','','2011-04-28 23:03:32',1,'2011-04-28 23:03:32','2011-04-30 18:06:33'),(5093,62,'Three basic techniques in whole brain teaching','three-basic-techniques-in-whole-brain-teaching','The class yes, the teach OK and the scoreboard','It is important to note that of course when introducing a new technique to class that they understand what is expected of them. In addition you have to practice the procedures with them and get them to the point where they can do what you tell them on command.','<p>In an article which I wrote for ajarn.com I <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/whole-brain-teaching-techniques/\">introduced a wonderful system of teaching</a> called \"Whole Brain Teaching\" (WBT) in which I outlined the fundamental techniques it uses. For those of you who have not read the article, WBT is a&nbsp;pedagogical approach which is based on current research into brain activity and how we learn. Not specific but very applicable to EFL , WBT uses techniques which activate both hemispheres of the brain - thus it is a \"Whole Brain\" approach.</p>\n<p>Traditionally education has focused on right brain activity - the reasoning, rational part of the brain. WBT techniques seek to make connections between this rational part of the brain and the left side of the brain which is concerned with creative activity . It is being proven more and more that an approach which integrates these two different activities of the brain leads to far more effective teaching. We will today look at three of the most basic techniques involved in WBT: \"THE CLASS-YES\", \"THE TEACH-OK\", and \"THE SCOREBOARD\". These are three amazingly simple techniques you can quickly learn and immediately use to greatly improve your effectiveness as a teacher.</p>\n<p>What makes them especially useful in ESL classes is it gets the students talking in English , which is often problematic, especially here in Thailand. It is not necessary to implement all of the WBT techniques at once. You can choose to use just a few techniques,. I have however found the more techniques you use the better you and your students\' performance will be. <br /><br />It is important to note that of course when introducing a new technique to class that they understand what is expected of them. In addition you have to practice the procedures with them and get them to the point where they can do what you tell them on command. It doesn\'t take too long. . Depending on your level of Thai you may at times need somebody to explain to the class in Thai what it is they are required to do. The directions are basically like rules to a game. WBT is very big on rules and has easy ways to get students to comply with them.<br /><br /><strong>TECHNIQUE ONE: THE \"CLASS-YES\" - \"PLUG\" YOUR BRAIN INTO THE BRAINS OF YOUR STUDENTS</strong>.</p>\n<p>The prefrontal cortex is nicknamed the \"CEO\" by scientists who do research into the human brain . It controls decision making, planning and is also responsible for the focusing of attention. The \"CLASS-YES\' works like this: The teacher makes a decision to get the class\'s attention. To do this the teacher is activating his/her prefrontal cortex by using the decision making function of that part of the brain. The teacher then says \"CLASS\" and the students respond by saying \"YES\" in unison. The students must say \"YES\" in the same tone of voice and in the same way that the teacher says \"CLASS\" - this is crucial.</p>\n<p>So if the teacher says \"CLASS CLASS\' in a high whiny tone the students respond \"YES YES\" in a high whiny tone. The students, by mimicking the tone of the teachers voice, have now activated their own prefrontal cortexes by using its focusing mechanism. In a very literal sense the teacher\'s brain is now \"plugged into\" the students\' brain. The \"CEO\" of teacher\'s brain, exercising its decision making capacity, now has the attention of and is ready to instruct the \"CEO\" of the students\' brains, which are utilizing its focusing mechanism.</p>\n<p>It is fundamentally the same type of relationship that would exist, at that moment, between the CEO of Pepsico and the CEO of KFC. (Pepsi owns KFC and I assume KFC takes direction form the parent company). The technique can be understood as a brain switch which readies the students for instruction. In Whole Brain teaching classrooms it is used whenever the teacher needs the class\'s attention, which is of course quite often. This technique, like almost all WBT techniques,can be used from kindergarten to university and with adult classes. With children in addition to being a \"brain preper\" for instruction it an indispensable tool for classroom management. <br /><br /><strong>TECHNIQUE TWO: THE \"TEACH- OK\" - TEACHING ISN\'T JUST FOR TEACHERS</strong></p>\n<p>Some of us may have come to Thailand just a bit unclear on the differences between the Present Perfect and Past Simple tenses, or between First and Third Conditional. I know I did. I also know that I could now tell you about fundamental English grammar in my sleep and I am sure, at least hope, that everyone reading this who has taught English for a few years can as well.</p>\n<p>How did you learn this grammar so thoroughly? . You did it by teaching. This is the main idea behind the next crucial technique of WBT- the \"TEACH-OK\". Research has shown, not surprisingly really, that students learn best when actively engaged in the teaching process. When students , using energetic gesturing, reteach to their partner what the teacher has just taught them they are activating five parts of the brain important to learning : the visual cortex (seeing gestures), motor cortex (making gestures), Broca\'s area (verbalizing), Wernickes area (hearing) and the limbic system (giving emotional content). I will number the steps of the \"\"TEACH OK\" to hopefully make it easier to understand and use.<br /><br />STEP ONE - Divide your classes into pairs. You will want to group weaker students with stronger ones. I think two is the ideal number but if you have an odd number of students you will have to have at least one group of three. In this case put the best student in the class with the two who need the most help and ask the best student to take special care of the group. I have found that at first you may need several groups of three students if stronger students are hard to come by. However as time passes and you continue to implement WBT, you will see a more uniform level in your students ability. This is due to the fact you will be getting almost 100 per cent participation and the students lagging behind will begin to catch up with the others. <br /><br />STEP TWO - Micro teach with gestures. This means giving one small bit of information that the students will reteach to each other. It requires the teacher to be animated and use gestures as he or she teaches. As an example, if we were teaching the Present Perfect, the teacher would begin the process by introducing a very small bit of information such as \"We form the present perfect with have or has.\" After the students have learned this small bit of information you build on this idea. The following TEACH-OK segment would be \" We form the present perfect with have or has and verb three.\"</p>\n<p>We continue building so on and so forth until all the rules of present perfect have been taught or at least all the rules that we wish to cover . If this were a very advanced class the final installment of our look at the present perfect would finally build to up to the studetns teaching each other in pairs something like\" The present perfect is formed with have or has plus verb three. It is used for both unfinished actions from a specific time in the past which are continuing into the present and with finished actions that have a relevance to present circumstances. Although it is used exclusively with already, just and yet in British English, these words can be be used correctly with both the Present Perfect and the Simple Past in American English.\" I have used an extreme example here of a final \"TEACH OK\" mini lesson on the Present Perfect to make my point that we build to whatever level the dictates of the course demand, as opposed to giving a lot of information at once. <br /><br />STEP THREE - To recap steps one and two-we have divided the class into pairs and presented a small bit of information . Now it is time for the teacher to say TEACH! and his/her hands clap hands and have the students respond in the same tone of voice with the same number of claps with an OK! They then work with their partner taking turns reteaching what was just presented. the students are expected to use gestures as they teach each other. <br /><br />STEP FOUR - The teacher monitors the groups as the students teach each other. <br /><br />STEP FIVE - The teacher brings the \"TEACH-OK\" to a close with a \"CLASS-YES\"<br /><br />STEP SIX - The teacher then continues with another bit of information building on the previous bit of information, or if it is time, change activities. <br /><br />Two other valuable tools which are often used during the presentation of a micro bit of information are the \"HANDS AND EYES\" and \"MIRRORING.\" These are related but separate techniques that will be elaborated on at a later date that augment the effectiveness of the presentation of information. If you just cant wait for the next blog visit www.powerteacher.net for an immediate explanation. <br /><br />I have not found a lot of information about EFL and WBT, although it is certainly being used for teaching foreign languages. In my past training I found an emphasis on getting students to use the language creatively. I have certainly done this in the context of WBT. Since I work with phratom students now the steps to creativity are very small but they are creative nonetheless.</p>\n<p>For example during the presentation of information I may want the kids to practice using the question word \"where.\" I may drill the class as a whole by asking students a question like \"Where is the dog?\" trying to get them to think of places a dog might be. Often times kids will come up with something really silly like \"The dog is on the sun.\" I love this kind of response. It shows they have used the language creatively. In fact a kid told me when asked once \"The dog is on the sun.\" I quickly joked back with the question \"Is he a hot dog?\" and pretty much everybody got the joke.</p>\n<p>That really shows that language acquisition was taking place with a group of phratom two students. Think about the implications of that- Phratom two students involved in the creation of and appreaciating a double entendre. Thats the power of Whole Brain Teaching at work. After the good laugh about the\" hot dog on the sun\" the kids were coming up with wacky places the dog was. During their \" TEACH OK\"segment of \"Where is the dog?\" they seemed to be trying to outdo their partner with the craziest place a dog could be. This is proof of being able to use the language creatively which means real learning is taking place. <br /><br /><strong>TECHNIQUE THREE: \"THE SCOREBOARD\" - KEEP THE TEACHER HAPPY AND EVERYTHING IS SABAI.</strong></p>\n<p>The scoreboard is a central feature of the Whole Brain Teacher\' s classroom. It is an integral part of class management when working with younger students and is critical in keeping older students focused. It basically operates on good ole positive and negative reinforcement. It is simple to understand and use.<br /><br />STEP ONE - On one side of the whiteboard draw a \"Smiley face\" next to a \"Happy face.\"<br /><br />STEP TWO - Draw a line between the two faces creating a column under each face.<br /><br />STEP THREE - When students are paying attention, and paricipating with gestures and you are happy with the way things are going put a check in the Smiley face column and have them cheer your approval by saying an enthusiastic \"OH YEA\" in unison (known as \'the \"MIGHTY OH YEA\"). <br /><br />STEP FOUR - When student performance/behavior is not up to par put a check under the the Frowny face and have the students moan a a collective \"OH NO\" while wiping away an imaginary tear.<br /><br />STEP FIVE - At the end of class add up the checks under the respective faces. More checks in the Happy face column means the class has earned some kind of reward (I usually use less homework as a reward) More checks under the frown face means a negative reinforcement (for me more homework).<br /><br />IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not have a total of more than three checks in in the Frowny face column in excess of the number in the Smiley face otherwise the \"SCOREBOARD\" loses effectiveness. Students become resentful and lose interest in the \"game.\"<br /><br />The \"SCOREBOARD\" works on the limbic system which is the part of the brain that controls emotional response. It is a powerful tool to keep order and keep things focused. In follow up blogs I will discuss \"THE FIVE CLASSROOM RULES\" which for the most part are used for class management issues with kids. The rules obviously relate closely to the \"SCOREBOARD\". Remember though the \"SCOREBOARD\" is also used with older students to keep focus.</p>\n<p>If I were teaching up university anywhere in the world I would have no qualms about using the \"SCOREBOARD\" as a fun way to give the class feedback about how well they were performing . That being said I would feel a little foolish walking into a corporate training class anywhere but sanook loving Thailand and drawing a Smiley face and Happy face on a whiteboard in front of a group of business executives and telling them to give me a \"MIGHTY OH NO\".</p>\n<p>I have taught all kinds of classes here in Thailand as well as a lot of corporate classes . Although I have not had the opportunity to use WBT in a corporate situation, my guess is all Thai students would play along with \"THE SCOREBOARD.\" Having been witness to a teacher leading a group of bank managers in a game of \"Simon Says\" I gotta figure you are on safe ground with \"THE SCOREBOARD\" in any class in Siam. (Simon says touch your butt hahahahah....true story).</p>\n<p>These are the three most important techniques in WBT. Just these three simple things can greatly enhance your students learning as well as making your job a helluva lot easier and more enjoyable. There is a lot more to WBT but this can get you started.</p>\n<p>Finally I want to underscore that these techniques are flexible and can be used in harmony with your own style and class goals/level. That is unless sadly you have an \"I don;\'t really give a damn\" attitude. I think it is more easily adapted to animated lively styles of teaching but I personally think there is room for those of a more phlegmatic nature, however gestures must be used.</p>\n<p>You look at professional athletes, say in a sport like golf or tennis, you will see that the pros are all pretty much adhering to the same set of fundamentals to swinging a club or racket. In spite of this commonality each player has his own unique swing. In the same way each teacher will have his own style in which he can adapt a given pedagogical approach to be the most effective teacher he or she can be.</p>\n<p>It is my stalwart conviction that Whole Brain Teaching (or in our case here in Thailand \"Ajarning\"...lol..) is by far the most effective approach to accomplish this goal. Give WBT a try, you\'ll love it and so will your students.

Nevertheless I do find teaching management to be both more interesting and easier than actually engaging in the office politics that are required in management in a modern organization. So in my case, it is easier and more satisfying to teach than to do.</p>\n<p>Is it necessary to have extensive practical experience in order to teach a subject effectively?</p>\n<p><strong>What about language teachers? </strong></p>\n<p>Does the saying also often apply to teachers of a foreign language? Is it easier to teach a foreign language than to learn one?</p>\n<p>In my years in international education, the majority of native teachers of English working abroad I have come across do not speak a foreign language. Can a teacher be effective in teaching a skill, learning a foreign language, the teacher has never acquired?</p>\n<p>There does not appear to have been significant research on the effect of foreign language skills on the effectiveness of the teacher in the classroom, although I am not an expert in the field and maybe some readers can shed some additional light on this matter. Maybe this idea of the impact of foreign language skills on the effectiveness of English teachers would be a good topic for those doing post graduate research in the field of ESL or linguistics.</p>\n<p>However intuitively it would appear that a teacher who has mastered a foreign language would better understand the students than a teacher who has never been in the shoes of the foreign language learning students. Although I have seen effective monolingual ESL teachers and ineffective multilingual teachers, on average my personal observations are consistent with my intuition on the topic. From observation, monolingual English teachers generally have less patience with the difficulties students have as well as having less cultural sensitivity. Multilingual teachers appear to me to generally be better able to relate and respond to language learning students in a meaningful way.</p>\n<p>Taking my own education in the field of business and management as a guide, I can see both the benefits and the drawbacks of having teachers with extensive personal experience. On the plus side, teachers with \"real-world\" experience often understand the practical implications of the topics they are teaching. On the downside, some teachers see every situation through the filter of their own personal experience in a particular company within a specific industry and may not be effective in applying the ideas and theories they are teaching to different situations. Nothing gets boring faster for a student than listening to endless stories about \"how I did things.\" Good teachers appear to use personal experience to embellish and illustrate the concepts found in the curriculum while poor teachers use personal experience as a substitute for the curriculum.</p>\n<p>There might be some cases where having foreign language skills would make an ESL teacher less effective. For example, it is possible an ESL teacher with a gift for learning languages may assume all students can learn as quickly as he or she did and therefore not understand the difficulties students without the same natural ability might have. However it would appear in most cases a teacher who has went through the process of learning a new language would understand the needs of the students and would be able to become a more effective teacher.</p>\n<p>I am not suggesting an individual needs to be multilingual to be an effective ESL teacher, as there are many other factors involved, however it would seem likely studying a foreign language and gaining foreign language skills would improve the effectiveness of most ESL teachers.</p>\n<p>So if you want to be a good foreign language teacher, becoming a foreign language student might be one step in helping in achieving that goal.</p>\n<p>Those who can, do, but they can also teach.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>\n</p>','','2011-05-03 04:32:08',1,'2011-05-03 04:32:08','2011-05-03 18:06:09'),(5145,59,'When your head is full of lesson plans','when-your-head-is-full-of-lesson-plans','How to handle teacher insomnia','Have you ever experienced an inability to sleep, \"sleep deprivation\" or insomnia?

','<p>Have you ever&nbsp;experienced an&nbsp;inability to sleep, \"sleep deprivation\" or insomnia? Are you bothered by it? How do you overcome it&nbsp;when you will be teaching the next day for possibly 4-5 hours?\n<p>I have met one English teacher who brags how he beats insomnia. He beats it in an unusual and sophisticated way, but I found out that what he does is very straightforward and what many sleep-deprived people could&nbsp;do. Let me share his ideas.</p>\n<p>Mikhail said that he came to know the cure for insomnia when he accidentally learned how to hypnotize. According to him, he had already hypnotized several people who did things in their sleep through his commands. Surprisingly these people didn\'t know why they did them. There were even instances when those who were subjected to post-hypnotic suggestions in front of a crowd did without question what was suggested to them in their post somnambulant state. Unfortunately, Mikhail\'s director warned him that if he did not stop hypnotizing students as his \"guinea pigs\" he would be dismissed from his position.</p>\n<p>The fact that he was afraid to lose his job made him stop&nbsp;hypnotizing his students and hypnotize himself instead.&nbsp;This led to his discovery of self-hypnosis, autosuggestion, mind over matter, treating psychological or minor illnesses, lowering fever, and curing flu overnight, and most of all living a positive life.</p>\n<p>\"How do you overcome insomnia?\" I asked.</p>\n<p>\"Before I knew hypnosis, I was really&nbsp;afraid&nbsp;of it. But now, I\'m comfortable with it. My subconscious mind tells me that my body doesn\'t need that much rest. This is related to my bio-rhythms. Eating a lot of meat at dinner, especially pork, drinking carbonated drinks before sleeping, having a super high spirit due to extreme happiness or low spirit because of worry or problems are a few of the causes of inability to sleep. Instead of making&nbsp;a fuss&nbsp;about it, I just lie down in bed and enjoy the night by doing the following&nbsp;things:</p>\n<p>1. Counting sheep - relax in bed, close your eyes and start counting the sheep you visualize in the dark. Soon, without you knowing it, it\'s already morning. When you are accustomed or conditioned to this technique, you fall asleep easily. For some variations, you can choose any object to count. It doesn\'t have to be sheep.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>2. Reflecting life - as you are lying down comfortably in your bed, reflect on your life.. Think of all the&nbsp;happy things that have happened&nbsp;in your life, going backwards until you were an infant or even beyond that. You can also reverse it. Start with some memories when you were a child.</p>\n<p>3. Make your&nbsp;computer your ally - Navigate, chat, e-mail, open your facebook, write blogs, biographies, or play games. Once you feel your eyelids dropping, it\'s time&nbsp;for sleep.</p>\n<p>4. Watch a boring video. You can watch as many videos as you&nbsp;like until you become sleepy.</p>\n<p>5. Read a boring book.</p>\n<p>6. Do self-hypnosis- while lying down comfortably, hypnotize yourself through auto-suggestion. Tell you yourself you are tired. Your eyes are tired and that you are very sleepy. You\'re sleepy, very sleepy -&nbsp;repeat&nbsp;over and over until sleep comes.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>7. Utilize the moment - Make your lesson plan, do your visuals, do your worksheets, check papers, record scores and more.</p>\n<p>8. If you\'re married, make love to your partner. If single, just daydream or fantasize.</p>\n<p>I have tried his suggestions and many of them have&nbsp;worked. Counting sheep is my favorite, followed by looking back on&nbsp;my life. I also like utilizing the moment as an opportunity instead of brooding. As a result, I have become more productive, less anxious, and more positive in approaching things.</p>\n<p>Don\'t fight insomnia. The more you&nbsp;fight it,&nbsp;the more you can\'t sleep. Worrying about it won\'t make you fall asleep.</p>\n</p>','','2011-05-04 19:52:21',1,'2011-05-04 19:52:21','2011-05-05 10:10:22'),(5181,4,'Unfinished business','unfinished-business','Musings from the tortured mind of a damaged teacher','I spend 12 hours a day at the school in which I teach.

I was surprised to find him there. I was still relatively new to the school; still a bit shy and reticent when speaking with him. I like the head teacher. He is a treasure trove of Khmer culture and history. I have shown him the books I\'m reading about Cambodia, especially the personal memoirs of surviving the Khmer Rouge, and he laments the fact that the whole Pol Pot era is still shrouded in mystery and silence. He fears that the genocide which saw about a quarter of Cambodia\'s population wiped out through torture, execution, and starvation will soon be forgotten.</p>\n<p>\"Many of the students were making a lot of noise\", he said in almost perfect English. \"So I came here and told them to behave themselves.\"</p>\n<p>\"Thank you\" was all I could say.</p>\n<p>\"Also, could you give me a list of those students who disturb the class and have failed their mid-term speaking and listening tests?\"</p>\n<p>\"I have it right here.\" I was way ahead of him. The day before I had made a list of those students and was prepared to call their parents with the bad news.</p>\n<p>I handed the list to the head teacher who looked at it, and then proceeded one by one to call each of the seven names on it. The seven boys stood up. Then the head teacher began to scold them in Khmer, pacing back and forth and waving his finger. The boys stood, heads bowed, listening. I almost felt sorry for the little buggers. When the head teacher was finished, the boys sat down. He handed the list back to me. \"After this class you can go down to the receptionist and tell her to call their parents.</p>\n<p>If these students don\'t behave themselves, then we\'ll ask the parents to take them back.\" I nodded my approval. \"And I asked the students about your teaching. They said that you are very strict and that you always demand that they do their work.\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes, that\'s right. I want them to do well. I want them to succeed.\"</p>\n<p>\"That\'s good. I told them to do their work and listen to the teacher.\"</p>\n<p>\"Thank you for straightening this out.\" And with that, the head teacher, whom I have come to admire, smiled and left, leaving me with the most wonderful and cooperative group of students that I have had in years.

So I stay put reading at my desk and preparing the week\'s lessons. I started out teaching only four hours a day, and then graduated to six. There were times when I taught eight hours a day because there were not enough teachers to cover the classes. That was grueling but I enjoyed it.</p>\n<p>Am I noticed for all this dedication? Am I appreciated? I doubt it. I am well into my second decade of teaching English in Asia where any appreciation for dedicated foreign teachers is practically non-existent. Besides, this kind of dedication to the craft is looked upon as suspect and is usually reserved for the paranoid, the insane, and the mentally disturbed. I don\'t consider myself paranoid, so I must be insane and probably a bit mentally disturbed.</p>\n<p>There are times when I limp back to my room at the end of the day. Everything hurts; my hair, my bum, my toenails. But that\'s fine. If we can run back to our rooms full of energy and ready to party all night, then I guess we didn\'t really do a good enough job during the day.</p>\n<p><strong>Tiffany and Paul Pot</strong></p>\n<p>So I step out of my room temporarily; after all, I do have to eat. Not much was open during Khmer New Year: A burger joint, a pizza place, a KFC, and a Korean restaurant. I choose the Korean restaurant because it\'s the one closest to me. And, truth be told, I love Korean food. I miss it, especially the kimchi.</p>\n<p>So I step out into the lobby of the hotel on my way to eat when I see a group of Western teenagers and their leader standing in a circle discussing the day\'s events. It turns out that they\'re from a non-profit organization that offers American students cultural and educational exchange opportunities.</p>\n<p>\"So\", their leader says, \"we are going to discuss what we all learned on our first trip to Cambodia. I have three pieces of paper, each with something written on it. I\'m going to place one piece of paper on the floor in the center.\" The leader placed the paper on the floor. In black ink it read \"Khmer Rouge.\" The teenagers in the group, about 10 of them, swiveled on the heels of their feet, looking hot, tired, and bored. It was the middle of April, the hottest time of the year for Southeast Asia. \"Okay, Tiffany, (not her real name), you start.\"</p>\n<p>Tiffany shuffled to the center of the group. She had short hair, a thin gaunt face, and looked like she hadn\'t eaten for a week. \"Well, like I learned a lot of things you know. Like I learned that a long time ago there was a man who ruled Cambodia--- Paul Pot or something. And like, you know, he was a very bad man who like killed a lot of people and stuff. But at the beginning it wasn\'t so bad you know, because Paul Pot was a Communist and like he wanted everyone to be equal, and like no one should like have more money than anyone else you know. But after a while I guess he got like paranoid and stuff so he just started killing people and sending them to the countryside...\"</p>\n<p>It was at that moment, or somewhere there about, that a Korean seafood pancake and a bowl of kimchi sounded fantastic.</p>\n<p><strong>Dark City and those damn tuk-tuk drivers</strong></p>\n<p>My room and the school in which I presently teach are a 20 minute walk each way. I enjoy the walk. I walk from my room to school at 7:00 a.m. each morning and from school to my room at 7:30 p.m. each night Monday to Friday. I currently have a Saturday evening class from 5:30 to 7:30. I enjoy the morning walk better. The air is fresh and it\'s not as hot then. I don\'t particularly enjoy the walk back to my room. I\'m happy once I get back, but getting back to my room is a 20 minute nightmare.</p>\n<p>Phnom Penh is a dark city, one of the darkest I have ever been to. The infrastructure is not very good: Cracked and uneven pavement; even many of the potholes have potholes. And the weirdoes come out at night; especially the motto and tuk-tuk drivers. I hate the tuk-tuk drivers with everything in me. Many of them are drunks who cheat on their wives with teenage girls. They are illiterate peasants from the countryside who can\'t read maps. Many times they get lost on purpose so that they can extort more money from you. I would cross the street to avoid them, but they are on both sides so there\'s no getting away from them. Many times whenever I pass one, a typical conversation goes something like this:</p>\n<p>TUK-TUK DRIVER: Tuk-tuk, sir?<br />ME: No thank you.<br />TUK-TUK DRIVER: Massage, sir?<br />ME: No thanks.<br />TUK-TUK DRIVER: Vietnam girl?<br />ME: No.<br />TUK-TUK DRIVER: A little boy, sir?<br />ME: No!<br />TUK-TUK DRIVER: A lady boy?<br />ME: No!</p>\n<p>I am so happy that my room and the school in which I presently teach are within walking distance: A ride in a tuk-tuk? I\'d rather stick needles in my eyes.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t look at me, I\'m not the father!</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m sitting in an outdoor mom and pop restaurant/laundry place/travel agency and probably massage parlor, (Cambodians are into a little bit of everything), eating a plate of fried noodles, pork, and vegetables after a hard day\'s work, when a middle-aged woman wearing a lovely sarong saunters right beside me. She is holding a baby in one arm while holding out her hand as if asking for money. She points to the baby, and then to her mouth simulating eating motions.</p>\n<p>Yes, I get it: The baby needs to eat. But I have been in Southeast Asia long enough to know that the baby she was holding was not hers. I have no idea whose baby it is. I have no idea if the baby was stolen, lost, or kidnapped. (That happens a lot in Southeast Asia.) And in my ignorance and stupidity had I decided to give her money, I really didn\'t know where the money would go: Perhaps to a pimp, or to some drunk to buy more whiskey, who knows, but certainly not to the beggar in the nice sarong holding a baby.</p>\n<p>So I continued eating and thought, hey don\'t look at me; I\'m not the father. I didn\'t make that baby.</p>\n<p><strong>Denial; it\'s not just a river in Egypt</strong></p>\n<p>I came to Cambodia from Thailand for several reasons. Two of which are to teach and to learn: To learn about Cambodian history, specifically the horrific Pol Pot era. I am currently reading books about it with the goal of gaining a greater understanding of what compels man to kill millions of his own people. As a Jew, the whole aspect and reality of genocide fascinates me. In childhood the holocaust was explained to me as \"man\'s inhumanity to man\", as if those four words were somehow sufficient enough to explain the torture and extermination of six million Jews.</p>\n<p>But there are stark differences between the holocaust and the Cambodian genocide. Since the end of World War Two, the Jews and the State of Israel have made it their raison d\'etre that this horrific part of history never be forgotten or erased. \"Never again\" has been our motto when referring to the holocaust, and we have held fast to that.</p>\n<p>But to stick to our motto of \"Never Again\", we must remember; we must choose to remember the horrific time of the holocaust. To remember is what we Jews do best; well, remembering and eating cheesecake. Remembering is in our DNA. Remembering fulfills one of the 613 mitzvots in the Torah. The Khmers on the other hand are choosing not to remember. The Khmer attitude to the Killing Fields is to bury the past with a shovel and then bury the shovel.</p>\n<p>I have had this conversation with the head teacher; the same head teacher who was taken from his wife by the Khmer Rouge in 1975 and forced to work in the fields. This head teacher will gladly sit down with me and discuss anything and everything about the Khmer Rouge era. That is very rare and I am grateful for this opportunity to learn about such an important part of Southeast Asian history. Man\'s propensity to kill each other is eclipsed only by his willingness to forget the killings and deny this propensity. Denial; it\'s not just a river in Egypt.</p>\n<p>(The most important word in the English language)</p>\n<p>Remember.</p>\n<p>(The two most important words in the English language)</p>\n<p>I remember.<br /><br /><strong>I should have been a dentist</strong></p>\n<p>I should have been a dentist because I love drilling. I like the students but their pronunciation sucks. And so does their stress and intonation. I don\'t blame them. I blame their teachers; especially their past native English teachers who have probably never spent more than 10 minutes a week on pronunciation and intonation. Why spend any more time on these boring elements of the English language when you could play hangman?</p>\n<p>So I drill baby drill. I drill the students until I see blood shooting out of their eyes. Over and over again I have them repeat words and phrases they\'re having problems with. I feel like Professor Henry Higgins with a whole class of Eliza Doolittle\'s. Okay class repeat after me: \"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.\" And repeat they do. Do they like it? Hell no! Is their pronunciation intonation improving? Yes it is. And that\'s good enough for me. That\'s why I\'m being paid the big American bucks.</p>\n<p><strong>The secret of my success</strong></p>\n<p>Okay, here it is: The secret of my success as an English teacher in Asia. I listen; I genuinely listen, to all the educational pundits and pedagogical experts in the field. I ponder, cogitate, and ruminate deeply on every word they say as if it is Gospel. I roll their precious words and sagacious advice over and over again in my mind. Sometimes, I will sleep on it. And when I\'m finished pondering and cogitating and ruminating, I go ahead and do the opposite.</p>\n<p>If one of these \"experts\" says to slow down my rate of speech, I talk a mile a minute; if they say to pick up the pace, I slow my lesson down to a trickle; if they say not to focus too much on grammar, I blind the students with the present continuous and past participles; if they tell me not to do too much reading in class, I hand out copies of &lsquo;War and Peace\'; if they say not so much writing in class, I pass out hundreds of sheets of paper and explain how to write an autobiography; if they say not so much repetition, I drill baby drill. Because, as we English teachers all know, these \"experts\" at the TESOL conferences know everything. Just like those nutritionists who one day say to stay away from bacon, then the very next day tell people to eat 10 kilograms of bacon a day because pig fat really is good for you.</p>\n<p>Yes these educational \"experts\" at the TESOL conferences really do know what they\'re talking about. They take what didn\'t work for them in the west and export it to Asian schools so that they can look like geniuses in Korea, China, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and so many other places. But I know better. And I\'m onto you.</p>\n<p><strong>Full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes!</strong></p>\n<p>I understand why many teachers do this. I used to do this too way back when. And many a teachers have complained about this. I have 20 classes, they say, and there are 24 units in the book. How am I going to finish all that?</p>\n<p>Well, you don\'t. Instead of teaching two or three pages a day at breakneck speed, you take what you consider to be the most important one-third of the book and spend the whole term on that. Do one-third of the book three times. The students will learn more and retain more. I know; I\'ve done it and I\'m still doing it. School directors and administrators: You have to marvel at their intelligence.</p>\n<p><strong>Look at me!!! I\'m like so pretty</strong></p>\n<p>So, four college girls walk into my two hour evening class 45 minutes late. I call them girls because that\'s how they behave. I ask them to follow me out into the hall. \"Why are you late?\" I ask them.</p>\n<p>\"I was hungry\" one of them said. \"We go downstairs and eat noodles.\"</p>\n<p>I look at one of them, the same one I saw several minutes before class started. They are the same four girls that love to make a dramatic entrance holding their oversized handbags and expensive cell phones with Internet access that daddy bought for them. All that\'s missing is a Chihuahua named &lsquo;Tequila\' wearing a sequined body suit and tucked safely under their each of their arms.</p>\n<p>I look at them with barely veiled contempt in my eyes. There are children all over Cambodia living on a bowl of rice a day while their parents struggle to make two dollars. These children don\'t have shoes and they certainly don\'t go to school.</p>\n<p>\"I will not have you come to my class 45 minutes late. And I will not allow you to take part in my class tonight. You must come here on time like everyone else. I will not allow you to set a bad example for all the other students. So go away. Go home, go shopping, do whatever you want; but do not make a mockery of me or this class.\"</p>\n<p>And with that, I bade them adieu and watched as they went wherever, and I imagined four Chihuahuas growling and baring their teeth at me.</p>\n<p><strong>My solution to student truancy in Cambodia</strong></p>\n<p>Take them to the Killing Fields!</p>\n<p>Yes, that\'s right. Regardless of age, take them on a field trip to see the thousands of cased skulls and bones of their fellow countrymen and women. Put the fear of God into them; or the fear of the Khmer Rouge. Take them to Toul Sleng Genocide Museum and have them look at the blood-stained floors and the endless display of photographs of the 14,000 prisoners who were tortured and summarily executed. But first, you\'ll have to take their cell phones and game boys away from them.</p>\n<p>Cambodians forgetting the genocide: Some don\'t even know it happened, and others don\'t care.</p>\n<p><strong>Memories of grandparents that some never had</strong></p>\n<p>Some of the most memorable moments in my life were with my grandparents. Both my grandmothers passed away when I was a child, but I can still vividly recall my paternal \"Bubby\" holding me as a child and my maternal \"Bubby\" backing poppy-seed cookies in our kitchen when I was seven and eight years old.</p>\n<p>Why do I bring this up? A little while back I had two adorable girls in my level one class; they were sisters and we were doing a lesson on family. We were discussing family members when I asked these two sisters to tell me about their grandparents. \"We don\'t have grandparents\", one of them said. \"They died.\" My face must have registered shock because one of them continued. \"Khmer Rouge soldiers come and kill them.\" I felt so sorry for them.</p>\n<p>EFL teachers in Korea complain that many Korean students have been robbed of a childhood because they are \"forced\" to study and go to school for 12 hours a day. At least they go to school. At least they have grandparents.</p>\n<p><strong>Tiffany revisited</strong></p>\n<p>I have been thinking about Tiffany lately, and the other young people I saw in my hotel lobby that Sunday afternoon. They obviously didn\'t want to be here. I\'m sure that Tiffany and Amber and Zackary and Timothy and all of the other 15 and 16 year olds would rather have been at home in Beverley Hills or on the beaches of Florida secretly drinking margaritas and \"losing their religion.\" They would rather have been in the Mall of America eating their low-fat chocolate sundaes and playing click-click with Daddy\'s MasterCard.</p>\n<p>But they were here, in Phnom Penh Cambodia in 2011; population, 1,700,000 or thereabouts. These teenagers had a great opportunity to learn so much about how \"the other half\" lives. But clearly they were not ready. They were just teenagers after all. Hell, I\'m almost 52 and I still have so much to learn.</p>\n<p>As teachers know, learning is a two-way street. Little Tiffany with her \"Like you know Paul Pot was like a really bad man who like killed a lot of people and stuff\"\' may have learned a lot more if Cambodia had been a better teacher. Little Tiffany and so many others may have understood more if Cambodia was more willing to open up and break the silence surrounding its recent past. It seems easier to look at and talk about 800 year old temples that have rotted and decayed in the sun than it is to discuss those who have perished 30 years ago.</p>\n<p>What got my people, the Jews, to open up and share their experiences about Hitler and the Holocaust was the Adolf Eichmann trial in Jerusalem in 1961. It took 16 years, but survivors began to educate their children, grandchildren, and the next generation about the horrors of that time. It will also take the trial of at least one senior Khmer Rouge official before Cambodians have the courage to shatter the silence that have kept them in psychological bondage for so long.</p>\n<p>(The three most important words in the English language)</p>\n<p>I will remember.<br /><br />(There is no point explaining)</p>\n<p>It\'s not just Little Tiffany who knows nothing of Cambodia or the outside world. It will take at least another 20 years and a few heartbreaks for anything remotely profound to come out of Tiffany\'s mouth. There are countless adults in the west with little or no knowledge of Asian societies. Countless adults in Canada and the United States who think Cambodia is a chocolate bar and Pol Pot is a substance to get stoned on.</p>\n<p>\"Have you heard of Pol Pot?\"</p>\n<p>\"Sorry man, I\'m not into that anymore.\"</p>\n<p>This is understandable but not easily forgivable. After all, we in the affluent west have been spoiled by high paying jobs and social safety nets. We have no idea what\'s it\'s like to exist on two dollars a day. The biggest tragedy that many North Americans seem to suffer is the discovery that the supermarket has run out of their favorite shampoo and conditioner. \"What!! No more honeysuckle shampoo and conditioner!! My whole world has come to an end. What am I going to do now?\"</p>\n<p>There\'s no point in trying to explain to comfortable North Americans who are busy with their Blackberries and who spend much of their free time changing their Facebook profile picture what it\'s really like to live and work in Thailand and Cambodia. They don\'t want to know. They would rather stay home with their laptops and microwavable popcorn and watch it on their big flat screen televisions with surround sound.</p>\n<p>God bless globalization!</p>\n<p><strong>Unfinished business</strong></p>\n<p>So what is this unfinished business that is the title of this blog?</p>\n<p>I\'ve been thinking lately about what drives me. Why do I want to succeed so badly in an industry that has little constructive use for middle-class men and women from rich western countries?</p>\n<p>I could say that it has something to do with the fact that I like children and want them to have a better future. That\'s a part of it. I could also say that it has something to do with the fact that I have seen far too many child beggars and prostitutes and people who throw their life away and so much wasted human potential. That\'s a part of it too. I could also say that I feared ending up like everyone else, so I packed up and went to Asia only to realize a decade later that, lo and behold, I ended up just like everyone else!</p>\n<p>But in the last two years I have come to realize that this unfinished business has become personal; very personal. Between two and three years ago I was an emotional basket case. (Many people think I still am.) Three years ago I was teaching at a public school in Busan, South Korea and doing quite well. I was living in a modern two room apartment with a great view overlooking the East Sea; I was making and saving a lot of money; I was eating good food and enjoying the occasional night out with a couple of good friends: All in all, a very good life.</p>\n<p>Then I made a mistake. I went to the Philippines on a holiday and got involved with someone who was totally wrong for me. In fact, she was totally wrong for any human being. I won\'t get into the fact that she lied to me about everything--- about having children, about what she was really doing behind my back--- many of them do that; what made me an emotional basket case for the better part of a year was finding out some time later that she cheated on me while I was at home in July of 2008 watching my mother die. That turned my world upside-down, and I have yet to fully recover.</p>\n<p>I am certainly not the basket case I was two years ago. Unlike two years ago, I can now function in and out of the classroom. I have stopped talking to the photograph of my late mother and I\'m sleeping much better. While at home for six months in 2009 and 2010 I spent a fair amount of time at my late mother\'s grave apologizing to her for my lack of sound judgment. But many third-world Southeast Asian women still turn my stomach and the thought of them running after older first-world western men for money fills me with anger and hatred that is impossible to conceal.</p>\n<p>So what is this unfinished business? Why am I here? While in Korea, my mother used to tell just about everyone within earshot how proud she was of me that I am a teacher in Asia. I can still see her in her wheelchair rolling down the halls of her nursing home saying to no one in particular, \"Did you know that my son is an English teacher in Korea?\" I\'m glad I made her proud.</p>\n<p>As I finish this blog, it is May 8th, Mother\'s Day in many countries. My mother taught me many things: To try and see the good through all the bad; to trust, but not blindly; to expect others to do for you what you are willing to do for them; to teach people passionately and with your heart; to be responsible and to take responsibility for your actions; to learn from those who have a lot to teach; to not waste time doing something that others don\'t appreciate; to say please and thank you; to respect your elders; to slowly enjoy a good cup of coffee; to look at a problem as an opportunity; and to see each and every day as a God given moment to improve on oneself. That\'s a very tall order, but it came from someone who gave me life and was so willing to forgive me through all of my mistakes and poor judgment. I would like to think that I have learned a lot in these last three years.</p>\n<p>Now if you\'ll excuse me, I have some unfinished business to attend to.</p>\n<p>(The most important four words in the English language)</p>\n<p>I will always remember.</p>\n<p>Happy Mother\'s Day, Mom.

To get you admitted, the doctor has to certify that you have a medical problem that requires you to stay in the hospital at least one night. (While some insurance plans only require that you stay in hospital for 6 hours, the insurance company is still required to pay the hospital for full 24 hour occupancy of your room).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Packaged with many hospital IPD plans is Supplemental Major Medical coverage. It helps to enhance your medical coverage while keeping the premium more affordable.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The 5 most important areas of health insurance coverage that you should be aware of and be able to evaluate for your own needs when purchasing health insurance are:&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1) The maximum amount of coverage provided by the plan</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>2) The Daily Room and Board benefit</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3) The Hospital General Expenses maximum coverage</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>4) The maximum coverage for Surgery</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5) The maximum payment per day for Inpatient Doctor Visits</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>1. The Maximum Amount of Treatment Coverage provided by a plan can sometimes be a little confusing. Is the maximum coverage per disability, per year or for life? The maximum coverage is \"per year\" with most plans; But for some plans it is per disability. If they say per disability/per year, it just means whichever comes first. But what can really be misleading, though, is when a plan covers low daily charges for a longer period of time than most insurers and puts a lower limit on the maximum coverage for the fast-building hospital costs. If you totaled up the amount that they would be willing to pay for low, fixed daily costs, the maximum amount of coverage could appear to be quite high. Unfortunately, you could go broke having to pay the more costly charges that the plan didn\'t adequately cover.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2. Hospital Daily Room and Board Coverage also includes the charge for daily nursing care and any hospital service charge for the room. Every Thai-based medical insurance plan has a fixed limit on the amount of Daily Room and Board coverage that plan provides. (International plans generally don\'t have a fixed limit, but tend to be more costly). If you look around for a hospital where the daily room and board charge matches your R &amp; B coverage, make sure that this charge also includes the cost of daily nursing care and any service charge for the room. If you want to stay at one of the hospitals popular with medical-tourists and local expats, expect the cost to be about 6 to 8 thousand baht per day, maximum The majority of the hospitals in Thailand, though, charge less than 3 thousand baht per day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>3. Hospital General Expenses can be the most costly part of a hospital stay and can eat into the limits of your coverage very quickly. General expenses include the cost for diagnostic tests, special consultant fees, medications, bandages and dressings, emergency outpatient care, ambulance and much more, including post-hospitalization follow-up outpatient care</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">4. Surgery can be another costly drain on your coverage. So make sure that your coverage for surgery is adequate to cover the cost of most common operations. You also need to be aware that there are two types of surgery coverage, Actual Cost and Surgery Schedule. Actual Cost pays 100% of the actual cost of the surgery up to the limit of the plan maximum for surgery coverage. Surgery Schedule pays a percentage of the plan maximum, determined by a surgery schedule that is standard within the industry. It pays up to 100% of the coverage maximum for major surgeries and a lower percentage for less major ones.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>5. Inpatient Doctor Visits covers payment to the doctor for visiting you once a day in your hospital room. The amount of coverage you should need is predictable depending on the hospital you choose to use.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The benefits shown above make up what is called Basic Hospital Inpatient coverage. They provide 100% coverage up to the limits in the plan you chose. When each limit has been exceeded, that area of coverage stops. Your main areas of concern should be Hospital General Expenses coverage and Surgery coverage. Daily Room &amp; Board and Inpatient Doctor Visits costs are predictable and can only used up over a long period of time.

From On Nut to Soi Bearing, there are 5 new BTS stations opening in August 2011. This will open up the city center to the Bang Na district of Bangkok.\n<p>This will also represent the single largest extension to the BTS system since its inception in 1999, so for those of us travelling regularly around the city center of Bangkok this is a pretty monumental occasion, and I predict it will really influence and alter the landscape of the real estate market in Bangkok quite significantly. Not since the opening of the MRT system has the Bangkok metro system witnessed such an event.</p>\n<p>The MRT system runs predominantly along the Ratchada area of Bangkok and has really opened this part of the town to new stylish condos and apartments which have challenged the traditional expat stronghold of Sukhumvit for high-quality living at a lower cost. Since the launch of the MRT, Ratchada has gained numerous office blocks and a fancy new shopping plaza - The Esplanade - as well as a cinema, ice-rink and bowling alley. Not to mention dozens of new hip and trendy bars, restaurants and clubs.</p>\n<p>I think it is pretty safe bet that the higher numbered sois in Sukhumvit will now experience a similar boom as the new BTS stations are opened to the public and gain popularity. In fact as the new stations are on the BTS line&nbsp;(a system which is already twice as popular as the MRT) they will probably grow in popularity more rapidly, and therefore the commercial and retail outlets feeding off the new extension to the BTS will grow at a similar pace.</p>\n<p>Already it is possible to see this development, for example on Sukhumvit soi 101/1 there is already a small retail park housing a Tops supermarket, Starbucks &amp; Major Bowl as well as the usual group of independent and franchised restaurants and bars. There is also the recently relocated Night Bazaar (formerly located&nbsp;near Lumpini Park). All these attractions&nbsp;have launched&nbsp;in preparation for the opening of the BTS stations and the customer traffic it will bring.</p>\n<p>Anyone who has ever been to On Nut station - the current terminal station - especially in the evening, will be able to testify to how many people there are heading on&nbsp;towards Bang Na and the higher numbered Sukhumvit sois. There are 20-30 minute queues for taxis and motorbike taxis, bus-stops are full, and the pavements crammed with pedestrians. It doesn\'t take an analyst specializing in town planning to realize that most of these people will be regular and grateful users of the new stations.</p>\n<p><strong>So what does this mean for us expats?</strong></p>\n<p>Sure it\'s all very well commenting on how populated the eastern side of Bangkok city center is, and it\'s easy to predict that the new BTS stations will be well received by these residents, but how does that affect you as an expat? And more specifically how does that affect you as a teacher in Bangkok?</p>\n<p>Well it is the number of brand new condos and apartments that are being built within walking distance of these new BTS stations that is of benefit to us. It is estimated there are between 4,500 - 5,000 new or brand new condominium units and apartment units being built just around these BTS stations. Even for a city the size of Bangkok that is an awful lot of new housing stock! And remember the majority of this stock is bought as buy-to-let for expats.</p>\n<p>Clearly unless there are 4,500 - 5,000 extra foreigners arriving to boost the expat population, then supply will be growing faster than demand, pushing prices down to lower levels than previously&nbsp;seen in mid-Sukhumvit. And of course there are a good number of international schools and universities located in the Bang Na, Srinakarin and Pattanakarn areas of Bangkok. So this area of town offers convenience for many working in the education industry.</p>\n<p>With studio condos starting as low as THB 9,000 in brand new condominium buildings with swimming pools, fitness rooms, car parking and other facilities, these&nbsp;really are great value. And with&nbsp;1-bedroom condos starting at just THB 13,000, it is clear that good quality living in Thailand has never been more affordable.</p>\n<p>There is now no need for teachers to be located deep in a soi, or in a less desirable or older building in order to save money. Now you can be in a stylish new condominium or apartment within 5-10 mins walk of a BTS station and enjoy all the facilities and amenities of those people located in the traditional, but expensive expat areas of Thonglor, Phrom Phong or Silom.</p>\n<p>I have mentioned the prices of the studio and one-bedroom condos in these new buildings, but we have been most impressed with the two-bedroom condos on offer. For example you can get a&nbsp;two-bedroom condo in <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/s--s-condo-udomsuk-1920\">S &amp; S Condominium</a> for just THB 19, 000. And these are well designed units with balconies, 2 bathrooms and large living areas, for almost the same price as people were recently paying for studios and one bedrooms around On Nut and Phrakanong. For 2 people sharing whether as a couple or just friends, these are great value.</p>\n<p>And of course this is just the start of the movement. Remember, when the MRT opened there were very few of the new condominiums and apartments developed or even under construction. Even though the developers knew the MRT was scheduled to be opened, it took years for the line to take effect. However the new BTS stations have already started to see a huge amount of development close by. Which indicates by the time the new BTS stations are 5 years old, we will see much more development and there will be a real shift eastwards for many Bangkok expats.</p>\n</p>','','2011-05-16 01:51:41',1,'2011-05-16 01:51:41','2011-05-16 16:04:42'),(5355,62,'Are you a crappy teacher?','are-you-a-crappy-teacher','Time to take the self-evaluation test','If you have evaluated yourself honestly and you have come to a conclusion that you are in fact a crappy teacher, what can you do about it?

More to the point, can you do anything about it?</p>\n<p><strong>1) Do you show movies to your class?</strong> If so what is your motivation for doing so? Is it to complement the material presented in class? Is it an occasional reward for your students for achievement or good behavior? Or is it so you can burn valuable time because it is easier for you to show a movie than actually teach something? If you show movies to your class and at the end of the \"lesson\" they have learned basically nothing.</p>\n<p><strong>2) Do you miss class often or for any excuse?</strong> If for example you must make an off campus appointment on a school day, do you schedule your appointment around your classes or do you use the appointment as an excuse to miss class? If you answer is yes to these questions chances are you really don\'t care too much about your your students.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Do you often play games in class that really have no/little value in terms of learning?</strong> Like showing the movie that burns time because you are too lazy to teach, playing games can be valuable or they can be an indication that you may be a crappy teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>4) Are you a \"smart guy\" that has \"figured out\" the system?</strong> Is your primary goal to keep your job while doing as little work as possible? Do you give away candy and treats to your students so they will like you? If a kid is struggling in class do you just give him more homework because you know that Thai parents equate lots of homework with good teaching?</p>\n<p><strong>5) Do you like to boast how good it feels to see your students learning when in fact you you know they are not learning much if anything at all from you?</strong> You figure by saying these things others you will deceive others into believing that you actually care if your students learn or not. Chances are you are not fooling anybody.</p>\n<p><strong>6) Do you yourself spend a lot of time playing video games shooting up bad guys in an apocalyptic future world or watching inane TV shows?</strong> Well everybody needs to relax and put the brain on hold but the amount of time you spend on non-creative activities such as these is related to how creatively your mind works in general and is also an indicator of your capacity for sloth. Lazy, non creative people generally aren\'t very good teachers. Chances are if you spend a significant amount of time watching TV and playing video games, you may be a crappy teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>7) Do you spend most of your time sitting or standing in class?</strong> (This is more directed to teachers working with kids rather than in corporate or language school situations). An enthusiastic teacher will be on his or her feet for the vast majority of time. If you stand and move around the class your students will focus more on you, that should be evident. If you spend more time on you lazy rump than up on your feet.........you might be....you guessed it.<br /><br /><strong>8) Do you give lots of classwork to fill time?</strong> Most of the people reading this are teaching EFL. As an English teacher in a foreign county chances are your school has hired you so that students have a chance to interact with a native speaker to practice/acquire speaking and listening skills. Some classwork which underscores speaking and listening activities is appropriate(and of course it depends on curriculum dictated by course). BUT if you throw classwork at your students so you can sit down and relax, that\'s just a cop-out</p>\n<p><strong>9) Do you have control of your class?</strong> Sadly, even if you are giving it your all, if you can\'t control your classes, you are probably not effective as a teacher.&nbsp;Even if you have the luxury of an assistant who keeps order for you, if you can\'t control the class yourself, chances are your students are not focusing on what you are teaching. They are just responding to being disciplined. You need to be able to control your class. You may be trying, but if you can\'t control your class you are probably a crappy teacher.<br /><br /><strong>10) Honestly, do you really care if your students learn or not?</strong> Is your job just a way to make a living? I guess it is possible, but in my estimation if you really don\'t like teaching and if it doesn\'t bother you when a class doesn\'t go as well as it could, you should get out of the game.</p>\n<p>So now what? If you have evaluated yourself honestly and you have come to a conclusion that you are in fact a crappy teacher what can you do about it? Since most of these things actually have to do with personal motivation, probably not a lot. Laziness and indifference are character flaws and nothing short of a miracle can do anything to change that.

They\'re joined at the hip.','<p>It\'s been five years since I wrote <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-agencies/\">an article on the topic of teacher agencies</a>. Back in 2006, when the article was first posted on-line, teacher agencies were still in their infancy and I was trying to gauge how teachers felt about working for a &lsquo;middleman\' - which is basically what an agency is.\n<p>Reactions were very mixed. Some described agencies as devious money grabbers, while others felt they provided a necessary service for teachers who lacked the know-how or ability to approach schools directly.</p>\n<p>Five years down the line and teacher agencies are still around. Oh boy are they still around. Hardly a day passes when another new kid on the block emerges and is advertising for &lsquo;teachers wanted&nbsp;for&nbsp;schools in Bangkok\" or something similar.</p>\n<p><strong>Easy money</strong></p>\n<p>Let\'s face it. You can see why so many are attracted by the smell of relatively easy money. Put a phone on a desk, boot up a pc, grow the balls to call around a few schools and tell them you can provide them with the finest teachers in Thailand - and you\'re in business. You don\'t even need to rent office space. More than a few agents operate from dilapidated shop-houses deep in the sois of non-descript &lsquo;moobarns\' And who cares if you haven\'t got the first clue how to support your teachers or what getting a work permit involves. You can learn it as you go along. And that\'s just how many agents seem to operate.</p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/\">In his excellent blogs written for ajarn back in 2008</a>, Jason Alavi, himself a supplier of teachers to several schools, spoke out about why agents have such a negative image in Thailand. There were all sorts of reasons. Most agencies just drop a teacher off at a school and leave them to fend for themselves. Many agents are only concerned with keeping a school contract and ongoing business. Many agents have a dubious history of paying teachers late. And as you would expect, there are quite a number of agencies who offer little or no assistance in getting teachers the necessary work permits and visas. As Jason succinctly concludes \"Most teacher agencies make a lot of false promises and give wrong or incorrect information from the very beginning to potential hires\"</p>\n<p>To present the flipside of the coin, Jason penned another blog titled &lsquo;<a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-flipside-of-teacher-agencies/\">The Flipside of Teacher Agencies</a>\" in which he described in detail how teacher agencies can sometimes be a good option - for some teachers at least. Some agents do know the visa and work permit processes and regulations back to front. Some agencies have set lesson plans for teachers to follow. The agent can act as a buffer between the teacher and a demanding school administration department and finally, working for an agent can give the teacher the opportunity to mix with fellow ex-pat teachers - a sort of cure for loneliness if you like.</p>\n<p>Whether you subscribe to Jason\'s pro-agency arguments or side with the negatives, one thing\'s for sure - teacher agencies are here to stay!</p>\n<p><strong>Going rate</strong></p>\n<p>The main problem that teachers seem to have with agencies is the salaries on offer. Teacher agents and 30,000 baht a month salaries have suddenly become the Siamese twins of the Thailand TEFL game. They\'re joined at the hip. Did the agents all get together and hold a secret meeting? Did they all cheer when the chairperson decided that 30,000 baht a month was to be the going rate and the decision was unanimous? You decide.</p>\n<p>There has been much debate on the topic of agents hiring teachers and more to the point - who pockets exactly how much? I\'m reluctant to get into this argument because I\'ve seen so many different figures banded around. If the poor teacher ends up with 30,000 baht in their monthly pay packet, how much is the agent receiving from the school? How much are they creaming off the top? I\'ve heard figures as low as 10,000 and I\'ve even heard of some agents pocketing a whopping 60K. In conclusion - no one really knows for sure. It\'s mostly barstool banter reserved for a particularly slow Friday night. Only the school and the agent know for sure what the true figures are.</p>\n<p>But is 30K a month a fair salary for a month\'s work? I met with a Thai gentleman last week who is taking the plunge and setting up his own teacher agency (oh not another one I can hear you all cry!) He\'s a guy with all the right government connections and later in the year he hopes to be recruiting a veritable army of teachers to be placed in government schools. He asked me along for a face-to-face because he wanted my advice on how things stood in the Thailand TEFL business and what teachers considered to be a living wage. I was impressed that even before we got into serious conversation, he openly mocked the current salaries on offer. By the end of the meeting I managed to convince him - without much difficulty - that 45,000 a month as an absolute minimum should guarantee him some quality teachers. Well, at least it\'s a start. Whether he has the honor to keep to his word or whether he falls in with the &lsquo;30K a month club\', only time will tell.</p>\n<p>If I can be allowed to stand up for agencies on one point, teachers need to understand that it\'s never ever a case of the school paying the agent X amount, the agent paying the teacher Y amount and the difference between X and Y becoming the profit. The maths isn\'t that simple. In most cases, contracts to supply a school with teachers are hard won. No agent walks into a school, holds a meeting with the top brass and everyone agrees that the agent will supply half a dozen teachers and they all live happily ever after. Now that would be a fairy story. In reality, the school will make requests for new equipment (perhaps a few shiny new computers for the IT lab) or the less subtle - &lsquo;look at the size of our table, now see if you can pass anything underneath it\'. Contracts are always hard won and little wonder they are agent gold.</p>\n<p>But fact remains that most teachers working for agencies are still only earning around 30K a month.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher opinions</strong></p>\n<p>There was a letter sent to the ajarn Postbox recently, stating that ajarn.com should stop accepting these advertisers and their &lsquo;insulting\' salaries. The letter writer even went as far as to say that ajarn.com needed to develop a conscience. I presume that meant the letter writer held ajarn responsible, or at least partly responsible, for the current state of salaries in the Thailand TEFL business. And of course there was the usual call for teachers to all get together, link arms and boycott these employers and hopefully make them see sense. These calls for an all-out teacher strike crop up year in and year out, if not in the ajarn Postbox then on the ajarn discussion forum.</p>\n<p>And I\'m still waiting for a letter-writer to lead the revolution.</p>\n<p>I asked the ajarn forum members for their opinions. Should teachers force agencies to offer better wages and should teachers force ajarn to stop accepting job ads that don\'t pay enough? Those seem to be the issues.</p>\n<p>A forum member named Frink suggested that educating the schools themselves was the real answer. \"Advise schools on why they have no real need to go through agencies and how avoiding agencies could actually be in their best interest (higher salaries equal better teachers and retention of those teachers)\"</p>\n<p>Louis Minson, who runs the ajarn discussion forum from the UK but did his time in Thailand as both a teacher and academic director, rolled his eyes and said \"Oh no, not this silly argument again. Ajarn.com has low paid teaching job ads, therefore it\'s Ajarn.com\'s fault that the average wage in Thailand is not higher. If you feel a job offers unacceptably low wages, don\'t apply for it. There are a whole load of Filipinos and other non-native English speakers out there who would give their front teeth for a 25k job\"</p>\n<p>This has always been an issue with me. Just because I or someone else wouldn\'t get out of bed for a job paying 30K or less, does that mean we should deprive someone else the opportunity by refusing to post the ad? Someone, somewhere is desperate for that job. And it\'s incredibly na&iuml;ve to think that were the ajarn.com route closed down to any school or advertiser, then the sky would fall in on them. There are numerous other TEFL websites they can post the job on. They might even go out with a hammer and nail and tack it to the nearest lamppost. Heaven forbid, they may even struggle through the semester without an English teacher at all. A win-win situation for who exactly?</p>\n<p>Louis continues, \"those jobs are going to be available anyway based on local market rates, and while I used to recruit people who found our ad on Ajarn, just as many people would walk in not even having seen the Ajarn ad.</p>\n<p>It\'s fairly simple. Thailand has a lot of schools which are not that well funded and all of them have an ideal that they should try and have at least one native speaking English teacher. It\'s not realistic for a massive number of schools, simply due to how deep in the Boondocks they lie, and no amount of money, were they even able to afford more than 30k a month, would attract farang teachers there.</p>\n<p>Again, it\'s all about what you feel is an appropriate amount of money, don\'t feel it\'s enough, don\'t apply, don\'t take it. Ajarn.com is just reflecting what is out there in the mainstream Thailand TEFL scene\"</p>\n<p>Not all forum members agreed however. Yes, ajarn has to shoulder some of the blame.</p>\n<p>One teacher, who admitted anything less than 90,000 a month is an insult, said \"If I were seeking a teaching position in Thailand, ajarn.com would be the last place I\'d go to...a last ditch effort. Ajarn is definitely contributing to the situation by allowing these dodgy agencies to post job ads. I mean it\'s not like ajarn is helping\"</p>\n<p>Another teacher made a couple of fair points. \"Thai schools are not that poor - but the fact that some will take on anyone (without a degree or training etc) means that wages are kept low. This also means that teachers of this type are disempowered as they can only go for the bottom jobs which only pay for 10 months and sometimes have bad conditions.</p>\n<p>Salaries have not increased much in the last ten years but the cost of living has risen a lot. If schools don\'t pay more, people will not be able to afford to stay here any more or they will be living month to month, essentially there will be a cycle of deterioration.</p>\n<p>Personally, there are not many jobs on Ajarn.com that I would consider applying for, sorry to say it, but they do seem to target the bottom end of the market\"</p>\n<p>And from another teacher, who has now left Thailand\'s shores, \"Ajarn has certainly done nothing to aid teaching salaries since the start of the century, and has most likely damaged them by making a song and dance about TEFL in Thailand and attracting the uneducated (and some educated) masses to the industry. With such a massive resulting increase in the supply of willing teachers, employers have had absolutely no need to raise salaries, and unlike in almost every other field of employment in Thailand which have seen decent yearly average salary increases, TEFL has barely moved, and may have even decreased\"</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/teacheragent.gif.gif','2011-05-24 22:20:26',1,'2011-05-24 22:20:26','2011-05-25 23:11:27'),(5374,53,'Win-win teachers','win-win-teachers','How to become a more valued employee','Whether in the staffroom, lunchroom, shop floor, barracks, or around the water cooler next to the cubicles, the main topic of conversation has always been how incompetent the bosses and management were.','<p>I have had the opportunities to work in a number of positions, industries and countries. While there are many differences between these places of work, one thing all these jobs had in common was the vast majority of the workers complained about the management.\n<p>Whether in the staffroom, lunchroom, shop floor, barracks, or around the water cooler next to the cubicles, the main topic of conversation has always been how incompetent the bosses and management were. Even when working in management, there were always complaints about the higher levels of management. For example, managers of foreign subsidiaries constantly complain about the head office back home which it is claimed has no clue how things are done \"out here.\"</p>\n<p>So the next time you hear your fellow teachers griping about the management of your school, don\'t worry, it does not automatically mean you are working at some hell hole, chances are approximately the same number of complaints are being heard by different teachers at nearly every other school in the country.</p>\n<p>From listening you would think, enlisted soldiers and sailors know how to win the wars better than do the generals and admirals, factory workers know how to run the factories better than the factory managers, football players (and fans) know how to run the teams better than the coaches, teachers know how to run the schools better than the administrators and of course all of us know how to run our respective countries better than the politicians.</p>\n<p>It is human nature, but the problem is, of course, all of us see a situation from our own vantage point and wanting our own objectives achieved. For example, there have been studies done in business where different managers are given the exact same business problem and asked to find a solution. Marketing managers usually come up with a marketing solution, operational managers normally come up with an operational solution and of course financial managers see the problem as primarily a financial one and find a financial solution.</p>\n<p>Teachers working in a school quite naturally look at things from a teacher\'s perspective. Teachers generally are not overly concerned with budgets, disgruntled parents or requirements from government regulatory agencies. School administrators don\'t have the luxury of only focusing on the needs of the teachers and need to take a broader view and take into consideration the needs of a variety of other stakeholders.</p>\n<p>Just like teachers, there are good administrators and bad ones, although to hear conversations in most staffrooms one could get the false impression the number of bad administrators greatly outnumber of good ones. But teachers, much like other employees in other professions, might often be unfair in their assessments of their bosses. A teacher normally thinks a \"good\" administrator is one that does what the teacher wants more times than not. But the criteria used by the administrator\'s superiors to judge performance may be quite different.</p>\n<p>Administrators are not in reality some strange species that acts and behaves in ways that are incomprehensible to mortal teachers. In fact, they mostly want from their jobs a balance between gaining personal benefits and helping the students, just like the teachers. As teachers think of a good administrator as being one who gives teachers what they want, it is logical to think a good teacher in the eyes of an administrator is one who does want the administration wants more times than not.</p>\n<p>When I teach management, one of the concepts I focus on is the idea all jobs have to be a win-win situation (Yes I know it is an overused clich&eacute; but the concept is very relevant) to be sustainable. The days of slavery are gone, and schools can only get and hold onto good teachers by giving the teachers want they want. If the teachers don\'t benefit from an employment situation or they have better options elsewhere they voluntary walk. Teachers can only get and hold onto desirable jobs by giving the schools what they want. If a school doesn\'t benefit from a teacher\'s contributions that teacher will be asked to walk.</p>\n<p>Taking a militant stance and demanding what one wants from a school without giving some thought to what one is expected to give to an employer will probably not be the best strategy to find and keep one\'s dream job. Assuming one decides to not take the options to start one\'s own school or work totally freelance, a teacher will be an employee and should consider what he or she can contribute in creating the win-win situation with his employer needed for sustainable success of the employment relationship.</p>\n<p>At the risk of having some readers claim I am an Uncle Tom and advocating kowtowing to Thai administrators, I will provide a few suggestions teachers can work on to make themselves more valuable to their schools.</p>\n<p><strong>1. Be a popular teacher.</strong></p>\n<p>I did not write be a good teacher because, good is too subjective and if one asks 10 different teachers what makes a good teacher it is likely one will get 10 different answers, each one more descriptive of the teacher answering the question than actually defining a good teacher. A teacher my think he or she is a good teacher, but if the student\'s and others don\'t, one\'s own opinion of being good will not be very helpful. But a popular teacher makes life for the administration better. If you work for a profit making language school, a popular teacher brings in and keeps students. For-profit schools need tuition fees from students to survive and pay salaries, and if a teacher helps bring in fees, that teacher is of value and we have considerable power when contract negotiation time comes.</p>\n<p>Even non-profit government schools prefer popular teachers, popular teachers make students happy and result in fewer complaints from students and parents the administrators have to deal with. I have yet to find an administrator who enjoys defending the actions of his or her teachers to a string of disgruntled students or parents.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Be flexible.</strong></p>\n<p>It is difficult for many schools, especially smaller schools, to schedule classes based on each teacher\'s skills. If you can competently teach reading, writing, speaking, great, add to the list math and science and you have increased your job security and value to your employer considerably.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Be professional.</strong></p>\n<p>Ok, stating the obvious here, but professionalism is not as common as might be expected for 1,000 to 1,500 dollar a month jobs in a land where booze, drugs and other delights attract many to come and look for work. Come to work on time, wear presentable clothes and all the other obvious things employers expect of a professional teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Be low maintenance</strong>.</p>\n<p>Most administrators are busy, or even if not, they really don\'t want to spend significant portions of their work day dealing with your problems. True the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but is also the first wheel replaced when a new wheel is found. Learn your job and stay visible, but restrict your requests to things you really need to do your job well. Stand up for yourself, but learn to pick your fights and don\'t turn every perceived slight into a major battle.</p>\n<p><strong>5. Remember what you were hired to do.</strong></p>\n<p>Foreign teachers are generally hired to teach. Most of the time, the teachers have quite a bit of freedom in how they teach and are held responsible for the results. But on the other hand, foreign teachers are generally not hired to be management consultants for the school or to revamp the entire curriculum of the Thai educational system. Do what you can in your role to make the lives of your students better, but leave the responsibilities of others to others. If you are asked your opinion about managerial or curriculum matters (which is unlikely), go ahead and give it, but don\'t feel the need to tell your Thai bosses at every chance you get how it is done at home and why he or she is doing everything wrong. Remember the \"Face\" thing; it applies when working with Westerners as well as Asians.</p>\n<p>Most experienced teachers don\'t like to be told by the administrators how to teach each day and therefore it is not surprising my administrators don\'t like to be told how to manage each and every day by the teachers.</p>\n<p>Many native English teachers in Thailand complain that they can be easily replaced by backpackers, or others willing to work cheaper. This is only the case if those willing to work cheaper can provide the organization with as much value. If you want more from your job, chances are you are going to have to provide the school more value than your competitors for employment can.</p>\n<p>While it is important to know what one wants from teaching, it is also a good idea to know what employers and administrators want. If you want to \"win\" at teaching in Thailand make sure you help your bosses win also.</p>\n</p>\n<p>You do not work for the school or your boss, you work with them to achieve the objectives of the school, the students and yourself.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>','','2011-05-25 18:58:08',1,'2011-05-25 18:58:08','2011-05-26 09:09:09'),(5410,21,'Home or away?','home-or-away','Where is the best place to do a TEFL course - Thailand or your own country?','A good question that occasionally pops up on social media is “should I take a TEFL course in Thailand or in my home country (USA, England, etc)?

','<p>A good question that occasionally pops up on social media is \"should I take a TEFL course in Thailand or in my home country (USA, England, etc)?</p>\n<p>I\'ve noticed that the question never really gets a decent answer, so I turned to a dozen or so of Thailand\'s TEFL course providers and asked them for their input.</p>\n<p>First off, I didn\'t want this article to be crammed with &lsquo;marketing speak\' - but a fair question deserves a fair answer.</p>\n<p>So here are ten reasons put forward as to why taking the course in Thailand could be a good move.</p>\n<p><strong>You\'ll familiarize yourself with the language difficulties that Thai students have.</strong></p>\n<p>I took a TEFL course many years ago at a language center in Birmingham. I can still picture the group of ten students that were the &lsquo;guinea pigs\' for our observed teaching practice sessions.</p>\n<p>There was a smashing fellow from Iran, who could barely string a four-word sentence together. There were a couple of Scandinavians, who were almost native speaker fluent - and a bunch of French and Spanish students who fell somewhere in the middle.</p>\n<p>As a teacher you had to prepare a &lsquo;one-size-fits-nobody\' lesson plan and just hope for the best.</p>\n<p>Some students found the lesson ridiculously easy, whilst other students (particularly the Iranian guy who just sat in a corner eating his pen) struggled throughout.</p>\n<p>At least with a classroom full of young Thai students, all of your participants have more or less the same language ability. And you\'ll soon become familiar with common student errors.</p>\n<p>\"I go to shopping\" anyone?</p>\n<p><strong>You\'ll gain some knowledge of Thai culture</strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve been here over 20 years and I\'m still learning. I\'ve committed major errors in Thai classrooms and the consequences have haunted me for days afterwards.</p>\n<p>Many Thailand TEFL courses include a Thai culture component, which is valuable even though you might have read an outdated guidebook and think you know it all.</p>\n<p>Thai culture can be an extremely complex animal.</p>\n<p><strong>Thailand is a relatively safe place to travel and study in and of course it\'s a nice environment.</strong></p>\n<p>Although the front pages of Thai newspapers are often splattered with photos of grisly murders and horrendous traffic accidents, these incidents very rarely involve foreigners. Thailand is still a relatively safe country to walk around in, especially for single females.</p>\n<p>However, like anywhere else in the world, have a few too many sniffs of the barmaid\'s apron and stagger around unlit areas acting like a prat and trouble probably won\'t be that far away - so yes, you\'ll need to bring common sense with you.</p>\n<p>And of course Thailand is probably a nicer place to study when compared to doing a month-long course in the rain and cold of an English January. I think we can all agree on that one.</p>\n<p><strong>Trainees are in a situation where they can research job opportunities and perhaps even attend interviews.</strong></p>\n<p>Although TEFL courses are hard work and don\'t allow trainees much in the way of free time, you\'ll be here in Thailand and you\'ll be \'on the ground\'.</p>\n<p>Job opportunities are sure to pop up and you could be first in line to grab them with a personal phone call or even a knock on the door.</p>\n<p><strong>Opportunity to mix with teachers who are in the same boat.</strong></p>\n<p>I always love the camaraderie and the social aspect of studying and participating in group courses.</p>\n<p>And with a group of TEFL course participants, you all have the same objective - to secure a decent teaching gig. On a TEFL course in Thailand, most participants will share the goal of eventually working in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Even your peers can be a valuable source of job and Thailand information.</p>\n<p>Perhaps you may have someone on the course who has already lived in Thailand for a length of time and has only just decided to train as a teacher. Perhaps they know of job opportunities in their own town or city?</p>\n<p><strong>You can experience first hand how certain methodology works (or does not work) with Thai students</strong></p>\n<p>To quote one of Thailand\'s TEFL course providers directly - \"for the more serious teachers, the challenge of being in an ESL or EFL class in Thailand makes their learning to teach more effective because Thailand has never been colonized by an English speaking nation. Therefore teaching Thai students English as a foreign or second language is in the truest sense of the term what the job demands, especially due to the low level of English exposure. So you can see first hand how the teaching methodology, techniques and principles work or do not work\"</p>\n<p><strong>Thai students are motivated to learn with trainee teachers</strong></p>\n<p>Every time I\'ve watched a video or been there in person to see a trainee teacher conduct an observed class, the Thai students have always had fun.</p>\n<p>They always look extremely grateful for the opportunity to study with a friendly foreign face. A face they\'ve never seen before.</p>\n<p>New teachers are understandably nervous when they stand up in front of a large group for the first time with the eyes of the world on them - but young Thai students are never going to sit there with arms folded and insist on being entertained.</p>\n<p>From what I\'ve seen of this whole business, if I could choose my first ever group of students - they would be Thais. They are easily pleased. And for a teacher whose hands are shaking and whose knees are knocking - that\'s never a bad thing.</p>\n<p><strong>Cost of living is relatively cheap in Thailand</strong></p>\n<p>When I took my TEFL course, I was fortunate to have my parents\' home to use as a crash pad. The only expenses I had was the daily bus fare to and from the training centre and some money for lunch in the school canteen.</p>\n<p>For many trainees this is probably not an option so they will need to factor in the cost of accommodation, meals and also transportation. Thailand can be great value for money on all those fronts!</p>\n<p><strong>Those trainees working in other Asian countries view Thailand as a nice break</strong></p>\n<p>Trainees can sometimes be westerners living in other Asian countries such as Japan or Korea, where the cost of living is much higher. Not only does Thailand offer a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo or Seoul but renting accommodation and feeding yourself are generally cheaper too.</p>\n<p><strong>The opportunity to combine study with a holiday either before or after the course</strong></p>\n<p>I always think this is a great idea. Why not take in a week or two of pure relaxation before you start your training course or better still, finish the program and treat yourself to a few weeks of travel in Thailand before you take up a teaching job?</p>\n<p>Obviously much depends on your financial situation in these cases.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/beach2.jpg','2017-07-18 16:47:18',1,'2017-07-18 16:47:18','2017-10-03 16:04:19'),(5426,52,'June 2011','june-2011','Keep up to date with all the latest promotions and offers','Thailand is a great place to take a TEFL course.

Will you be receiving a separation pay equivalent to one month salary per year of service or reaping the benefits of any other scheme?<br />If you have a negative answer, as a concerned senior Filipino citizen, I advise you to continue to be a self-employed member of the Philippine SSS. With a contribution of 120 months or more, since you became a member, you will be able to receive a considerable amount of money from your optional retirement at age 60 or compulsory retirement at age 65.</p>\n<p>Of course, with a larger contribution you are assured of a larger retirement sum. Since you are in Thailand, request a family member or a relative to do it for you. Better still, you can do the actual remittance yourself through affiliated banks of SSS. Of course, you have to do the initial negotiations first. You can also enjoy an additional amount from Pag-ibig at age 60 if you have been a member for a long time. There is not much of a problem when you claim your retirement benefits from the two agencies.</p>\n<p>I was once critical about the agencies I mentioned. I heard from many people in my younger years that many people couldn\'t enjoy the benefits attached to their membership because of corrupt practices in the system. They said it was hard to claim their benefits. I think the reason why they had this difficulty was because their papers were not in proper order. Some examples are discrepancies in the spelling of first names, family names or different dates of birth.</p>\n<p>In my experience, the accusations aren\'t true anymore because I have been a witness to this easy way of claiming benefits.<br />Last April 2011, I applied for my SSS and Pag-ibig retirements. Actually it only took me a month to get my benefits in SSS and a week only for Pag-ibig. It\'s so easy. I just presented my baptismal certificate and affidavit from two acquaintances that I am the person with such name and birthdates including an application form. There was a long que as expected but I was an early bird and a senior citizen too, so I got the chance to be served first.</p>\n<p>Last February 2011 the Philippine Embassy had a meeting with a Thai representative here in Thailand regarding mandatory SSS membership for people going to work in Thailand. I don\'t know if it has already been implemented. For queries regarding SSS membership in Thailand, you may contact the Philippine Embassy at Sukhumvit Road. For Pag-ibig membership, I think it\'s mandatory. When you get your exit clearance from POEA you can be a member.</p>\n<p><br />I take the opportunity to share this information because I should have gotten a larger pension if I continued my contributions to SSS when I started working in this country five years ago.</p>\n<p>So, what are you waiting for?

So in chronological order, here are the places that have provided a roof over my head at some stage.</p>\n<p><strong>Uncle Rey\'s&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>When I first arrived in Bangkok over 20 years ago, the lower Sukhumwit Road area was all I knew. To me that stretch of road was Bangkok. I had spent a lot of time there while on a previous holiday and I suppose it was the familiarity that drew me in. However, I didn\'t fancy the idea of landing in the city and immediately searching for a long-term apartment so I hunted around for a cheap guest house to use as my Bangkok base. I had a relatively healthy bank balance at the time - so there was no need to start a job hunt either. I wanted a holiday first.</p>\n<p>I was recommended a place called Uncle Rey\'s Guest House on Sukhumwit Soi 4. Uncle Rey\'s was located down a small sub-soi right next to the Nana Plaza entertainment complex. Surprisingly - given its close proximity to the fleshpots - the rooms were never used for short-time liaisons. In fact the owner (the man known as Uncle Rey) actively discouraged that kind of trade and I admired him for that. All the rooms were priced at 350 baht a night, which was terrific value for the location, and I ended up staying for three weeks.</p>\n<p>The rooms were large and air-conditioned but also rather shabby and dark with a stained, musty-smelling mattress and cheap furniture that amounted to little more than a wardrobe and a wonky dressing table. But at least each room had a phone and the staff was super-friendly. Don\'t ask me for contact details. I\'m not even sure if Uncle Rey\'s is still around.</p>\n<p>I very rarely set foot in that lower Sukhumwit neighborhood now. I can\'t think of an area of Bangkok that I detest more with its obnoxious street-sellers, cluttered footpaths and slow-moving tourists. It\'s funny how your perception changes over a period of time.</p>\n<p><strong>Down to Hua Hin</strong></p>\n<p>Still with money in my pocket and in no great hurry to look for work, I then moved down south to the seaside resort of Hua Hin for a couple of months. My only experience of Hua Hin up to that point had been a rushed day trip from the capital, but I liked the slow pace of life and friendly townsfolk. I roomed at the All Nations Guest House on Soi Dechanuchit, which was run by the infamous Donny from New Zealand. Fan rooms cost 150 baht a night and a chalk-board outside advertised &lsquo;the coldest beer in Thailand\' Unfortunately New Zealand Donny was the best customer and he\'d regularly empty his stocks before heading out for a &lsquo;night on the town\' His brawling in what few rival bars there were became the stuff of Hua Hin legend.</p>\n<p>Hua Hin in the early 90s was nothing like the international resort it is now. Branches of Starbucks and Burger King were still a long way off.&nbsp;There were literally three or four beer bars along the main strip, a selection of Thai restaurants and for those on a budget, a handful of places to stay. But they were fantastic times and I look back on them with great fondness. There was a tight clique of about two dozen foreign expats and everyone was friendly towards each other. Some were there for the world-class golf courses, others were there for the beach and the ocean and the relaxed lifestyle. Others had no particular place to go and were there until the money ran out</p>\n<p>After a couple of months of unashamed R&amp;R, I started to get itchy feet. I was eager to start working but realized that there was little or no work for a teacher in Hua Hin. I said goodbye to all the friends I had made and moved back up to Bangkok, checked into Uncle Rey\'s Guest House on a pay-by-the-day basis and then started to do some serious apartment-hunting.</p>\n<p><strong>Back in Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>Of course these were the days before the internet made our lives so much easier. The only ways for a foreigner to find an apartment was to walk up and down the sois and hope to get lucky or scour the accommodation section of The Bangkok Post classified. And there was always word of mouth.</p>\n<p>Chatting to a local Thai woman, the conversation eventually turned to apartments and she recommended I check out a new building called the Somsong apartments on Sukhumwit 22 (near the Imperial Queen\'s Park Hotel) By this time my best pal from school had joined me in Bangkok for an extended holiday and we went to look at the Somsong together.</p>\n<p>The building was spotlessly clean and seemed to be well-run. We liked what we saw and decided to share an air-conditioned studio apartment for 4,500 baht a month. It felt like a significant amount of money at the time but we stumped up the deposit and the first month\'s rent and moved in. We then went shopping for fans and blankets and teapots and all manner of stuff to make the apartment feel more like home.</p>\n<p>And so we moved into the Somsong Apartments together and I slept on one side of the enormous double bed and my pal slept on the other. At night I\'d lie there dozing off thinking about my family on the other side of the world and Alan would roll over and fart and I\'d know it was going to be a long night. Then I\'d wake up in the morning, open my eyes and see him lying next to me with a finger up his nose and a wigwam in the bed. Our shared accommodation adventure lasted a tempestuous nine months and Alan went from being my best friend to someone I wanted to kill and make sure died a slow painful death. It taught me one great lesson in life - never share accommodation with another guy. Ever.</p>\n<p>In the famous words of Marlene Dietrich - I wanted to be alone. I was desperate to move out of the Somsong and took the first accommodation I could find. It turned out to be a huge mistake.</p>\n<p><strong>Living the high life</strong></p>\n<p>I rented a studio apartment on the top floor of a four-storey house (also on Sukhumwit 22) The room was so small there was barely space to walk around the bed and the landlady really saw me coming. She ripped me off for an outrageous 4,000 baht a month. The room wasn\'t worth half that amount. It didn\'t have air-conditioning or a phone and because the house was constructed largely from dark wood, it seemed to hold the heat. The room had one of those large oscillating ceiling fans, which don\'t so much cool down the room as just distribute the hot air. In the afternoons especially, the temperature became unbearable.</p>\n<p>By now I had also secured my first Thailand teaching job and needed to look my best. But I was in a constant battle with that awful room. In the morning I would get up, shower in cold water and get dressed as fast as possible before the sweat started to soak into my clean clothes.</p>\n<p>So I was the man rooming in the attic but the first two floors were seemingly occupied by only Thai females. The fact they did nothing all day except sit around in the front yard and gossip led me to believe that they started work when the sun went down. I don\'t think there were many bank clerks among them.</p>\n<p>Generally we kept ourselves to ourselves. They would nod and smile whenever our paths crossed and I did the same. There was never ever more than a brief exchange of words even when the communal phone rang and one of the girls would have to climb three flights of stairs in bra and panties to knock on my door. Don\'t envy me - it was nowhere near as raunchy and erotic as it sounds and the two months I spent there were wretched. I became desperate to get out.</p>\n<p><strong>Farang ghetto</strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t quite know where the desire came from, but I suddenly had the urge to be around other foreigners. I wanted people to chat with over a beer and be able to order dishes from an international menu. However I didn\'t want the stigma of living in the Khao San Road area - the notorious backpacker ghetto. The only other choice at that time - in terms of a place where you were guaranteed to meet other foreigners - was the Soi Ngam Duphli, Sri Bamphaen area, a stones throw from Lumpini Park.</p>\n<p>I wandered down there one morning for a mooch around. I checked out the filthy hovel then known as The Sri Bamphaen apartments and reluctantly said yes to one of their air-conditioned studios for 2,500 baht a month. I say reluctantly because I noticed the rubbish piled up in the corridors and listened to the noise coming from bare-arsed kids running around in the car-park and knew it was never going to be a place I could call home.</p>\n<p>I moved all my worldly possessions in a single tuk-tuk journey and then spent a couple of days walking around the area and getting my face known in a few local bars. Mostly I just got chatted up by the local queens or I\'d sit alone and gawp at the never ending parade of bargain basement hookers and long term farangs with arms like pin cushions. I seriously wondered if I could make it to the end of the first month.</p>\n<p>It was about this time that my parents came to see me in Thailand on the first of what has amounted to eight visits. My mother made several requests to see my apartment but each time I quickly changed the subject. I was far too ashamed to show my folks where and how I was living.</p>\n<p>I wasn\'t looking to save money but the 2,500 a baht month rent was certainly attractive. The air conditioning hardly ever worked so the monthly utilities bill was never more than a few hundred baht on top. Most of what I was earning as a teacher went straight into my pocket.</p>\n<p>Amazingly I ended up staying at the Sri Bamphaen Apartments for three years. I \'befriended\' one of the other residents, who lived in the 8,000 baht a month penthouse suite. It was actually a room that the building owner\'s daughter had used when she was working late and couldn\'t be bothered to drive home. She had knocked two rooms into one, modernized the bathroom and by the appallingly low standards of that area, turned the room into a mini palace. It had hot water, a big TV and a state-of-the-art video player. It was the only reason I stuck around so long.</p>\n<p>After three years in the Ngam Duphli / Sri Bamphaen area, I decided it was time to move up in the world. I was making more money at work and felt I deserved something better. The long teaching hours were killing me and I wanted somewhere a little more luxurious to come home to at the end of a hard working day. At a squeeze, I figured out I could stretch to a budget of 6-7,000 baht a month and I had set my heart on a one-bedroom apartment. I was tired of guests sitting on the bed and watching me as I moved around the room rearranging and tidying things in the way that fastidious people do.</p>\n<p><strong>The perfect apartment</strong></p>\n<p>After checking out the Bangkok Post classified, I found myself on the other side of town (at least it felt like the other side of town) on Petchburi Road and The Petchsiam Mansion Apartments, directly opposite the Dara Cafe (which is no longer there) I asked the lady at reception to show me a room and I fell in love with room 307 the moment she opened the door. The apartment was perfect!</p>\n<p>While it wasn\'t exactly what you\'d call a one-bedroom apartment, the owners had installed a clever partition to create a separate bedroom and living room. The whole apartment was only 38 square meters but after what I\'d lived in up to that point, it felt like Hampton Court. As for the building itself, the corridors were spotlessly clean, there was a cheery little restaurant and laundry and there was a minimart on the corner of the private soi. The reception staff all wore uniforms and greeted you each morning with a &lsquo;good morning Khun Phil\'. And best of all - the place had cable TV! Tell me about it. Although my maximum budget was 7,000 baht a month, I didn\'t flinch at the 8,000 baht a month asking price. I simply had to have it. I would worry about the economics later.</p>\n<p>Life then took on a whole new meaning. I bought myself a Sony Play-station and would spend hours and hours at home either playing games or watching cable TV. I started accumulating stuff. I bought my own refrigerator and TV and a few bits of furniture. I had no urge to venture outside and started to unintentionally lose contact with friends. My whole world existed within those four apartment walls. I\'ve always been something of a loner anyway but I was so happy. I ended up staying there for five years.</p>\n<p>The owners were genuinely shocked when eventually I plucked up the courage to tell them I was checking out. They couldn\'t believe I had found somewhere where I would be happier. But I had. Actually I had two reasons for moving on again. Firstly, I fancied the idea of renting a house and having a little more space - perhaps even a garden as well. And I wanted a place with a spare bedroom that I could turn into a classroom in order to take on private students and make some extra pocket money.</p>\n<p>The second reason for waving goodbye to Petchsiam Mansion was the sudden influx of noisy neighbors. Bad neighbors ruin the best of apartment locations eventually. On one side I had an African guy who would beat the shit out of his girlfriend every Sunday morning when they returned from wherever they\'d been drinking heavily. On the other side I had four young Bangladeshi lads sharing a room. I\'m guessing that they all had the same hearing problem as well judging from how loud the volume on the TV set was. And opposite was a single mother with a babe-in-arms who did nothing but cry all day. The peace had been shattered. My little haven had been invaded. It was definitely time to move on.</p>\n<p>So I turned my back on apartment living for good. I turned house-hunting into a full-time job. Every weekend, for several months, my girlfriend (now my wife) and I would drive up and down the sois of what felt like every housing estate (moobarn) in Bangkok, looking for houses for rent. Because I had this plan to teach private students at home, I thought being on the doorstep of a university full of students with rich parents would be a very wise idea - so we started to focus our search on the moobarns around Assumption University in the Hua Mark area.</p>\n<p><strong>My first house for rent</strong></p>\n<p>We spent hours just driving around, writing down phone numbers from adverts on lamp-posts and making appointments with landlords and house-owners to show us around their properties. Then early one Sunday morning - just as we had given up hope of ever finding the ideal place - we struck gold.</p>\n<p>We saw a \'house for rent\' sign on a rather impressive looking ornate gate. It looked far too expensive for a poor English teacher but I rang the doorbell anyway. The gate was opened by an elderly Thai-Chinese man and his chatty wife. This was our introduction to Loong and Mem. Little did I know what an important part they were going to play in my life or what good friends they would eventually become.</p>\n<p>Loong showed us around the house with its four bathrooms and four bedrooms (who needs four bathrooms for pete\'s sake?). It was a fine property and you could have done so much with it. Never mind private students, there was room to open a small school. But at 18,000 baht a month, it was way out of my league. Sensing my disappointment, Loong said \'hop in the car, I\'ve got a couple more properties on the moobarn. I\'ll show them to you\"</p>\n<p>We drove towards the university and pulled up in front of a house in the most depressing soi in Bangkok. Kids ran around screaming and Sunday mechanics tinkered under the bonnet of old cars. It was bedlam. And this was Sunday. I walked around the house out of sheer politeness. \"I\'ll only charge you 6,000 baht a month\" Loong said. He could have given it me for free. There was no way I could live there. \"I\'ve got one more place to show you\" he said.</p>\n<p>We drove back towards Loong\'s own house but just before we got there, he turned into one of the most beautiful sois I\'ve ever seen. Fully-grown trees lined both sides of the street and all the properties looked well cared for and homely. Because the soi wasn\'t a short-cut to anywhere, virtually no traffic went down it. When we pulled up in front of one of the houses, Loong pointed and said \"this house belongs to me as well\"<br />I didn\'t even need to get out of the car. I knew I\'d found my next home.</p>\n<p>The house itself was not in the greatest of condition. There was obvious water damage in places and it needed a bit of TLC but Loong, being a retired handyman by profession, said he would take care of things. 8,000 baht a month. Done! We shook hands on the deal and I arranged to move in within the next three days.</p>\n<p>I remember literally trembling with excitement. It wasn\'t just the house - it was the soi that did it for me. I returned late that night on a reconnaissance and the neighborhood was so quiet you could hear the crickets chirping. It was like being in the middle of the countryside.</p>\n<p>Three days later, I moved in. I gradually got to know some of the neighbors (one guy was a professor at the university) I also befriended a couple of dogs from a few doors down who spent more time at my place than they did their own (but only because I always had treats for them)</p>\n<p><strong>Working from home</strong></p>\n<p>I kitted out one of the spare bedrooms as a private study with a quality table and comfortable swivel chairs and started teaching from home. And for a while it was successful. But most of all I will never forget those Sunday mornings, standing in the soi with a cup of tea and looking out over open fields and thinking \"how lucky was I to find this place?\"</p>\n<p>I lived there for five very happy years. But all good things come to an end. When I told Loong and Mem that I was getting married and Tun and I were building a house far away, there was a stunned silence. Loong said it was like losing part of his family.</p>\n<p>As a goodwill gesture I found Loong another foreigner to take over the house - \"I always love renting to farangs\" he told me. \"Thais just don\'t take care of your property\". I handed him the keys, collected my deposit and we drove away for the last time. And I must confess to wiping away a tear but we\'ve been back to see them several times since we left. So it was never really goodbye.</p>\n<p>And the final step of my \'accommodation journey\' has been to our small two-bedroom house in Samut Prakarn and we\'ve been here six years and counting. As far as interior design is concerned, the house is like my &lsquo;little piece of England. We spent a considerable amount furnishing the place and landscaping the garden and making it homely. I\'m not a drinker or a clubber. I would much rather plow money into my home. A nice home has become more important to me as I\'ve got older.</p>\n<p>It\'s just a pity that the neighborhood is so awful. There\'s very little to commend it. It\'s congested. It\'s dusty. It can be very noisy at times. And worst of all, there\'s nowhere to go in the immediate vicinity. There are no nice restaurants. There are no movie theatres or shopping malls. I guess building our own house has been a trade off of sorts. The land belonged to my wife\'s mother. All we had to pay for was the house construction costs. And everyone knows it\'s the land that costs the money. But as my wife and I have said many times, if only we could move the house to that wonderful soi in Hua Mark - now that would be the perfect combination.</p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the journey. If I ever need to update this blog, I\'m hoping that it will be from a house, a condo, an apartment - I really don\'t care - as long as it\'s in Chiang Mai.</p>','','2011-06-10 05:50:28',1,'2011-06-10 05:50:28','2011-06-15 22:10:30'),(5646,20,'Quite literally a lucky career break','quite-literally-a-lucky-career-break','Be bold and ask your boss for a career break','Like many of you I work a regular job.

For the last 8 years I\'ve been a psychiatric nurse working for the NHS. Life is pretty good, I\'ve never had as much job satisfaction as I do now (I\'m not lying, honest!). But the lure of adventure is just too much. Why? Now picture this scenario, I\'m working a night shift on a psych ward, I\'m getting spat at, having to clean up after a dirty protest, injecting people in the butt and generally speaking being verbally and physically abused (I do actually enjoy this!) and I got thinking to myself there has got to be something better than this, better than cleaning the shit off the walls. Now I just had to decide what to do, I could go work in Australia, New Zealand or even Canada as psych nurse, but hell that\'s just the same shit, different day. NO, what I wanted was something different.</p>\n<p>Thailand was not my first choice of adventure destination, in fact because I went there on a backpacking trip 6 years ago it was not on the list at all. Places such as Japan, Argentina, Finland, Hungary, even Somalia got on my list, but Thailand never made an appearance on that list until the very last minute. Why? You know what, I\'m not sure why at all, but I do know somehow I found my way to this website Ajarn.com and through the stories told and advice given I was sold. I decided Thailand was the place for me. Now I\'m an optimistic guy, even with all the bad press Thailand gets for how it treats its &lsquo;Farang\' population, I felt so confident that it was the place for me, I decided quit my job and buy a flight!</p>\n<p>To quit a job, for me, is one of the most exhilarating things you can ever do. It\'s like asking someone to marry you, but you\'re in fact facing your boss, your natural enemy, getting ready to stick two fingers up at authority and say \"screw you\" I\'m leaving this job for a better climate, with cheaper living and beautiful women, ha, I don\'t need you and your regular wage affording me a comfortable living. Screw you I\'m going! Thinking about it was such a rush, I couldn\'t wait, the day had come, it was the moment to strike and I had my notice in hand. I was excited like a teenager on a date with a condom in his pocket! It was going to happen today... I was going to quit my load, ummmm, quit my job!</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/colin1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p>But also like that teenager its finale was something of an anti-climax, I got ready for it, prepared myself in the bathroom, gave myself a pep talk and walked into the office to proclaim my desire to quit my job. My boss sat there, legs crossed, with that professional listening expression, letting me spew my guts, telling her even though I loved the job I had to leave, I had to try something new, I had to quit! Then it happened, the two words I never expected, I had never heard of, never anticipated \"Career Break\", whoah, WTF, Career break!!</p>\n<p>\"A career break\" I asked \"Are you saying I can take a leave from my job and you will retain my position for me to walk back into at a later date?\" My boss looked at me like she often does when she thinks I\'m being a complete moron \"Yes Colin, &lsquo;career break\', like it says on the tin!\" So naturally I asked for a two year career break straight of the bat, she replied \"Now your taking the piss!\" fair point! But she is going to give me a year and this is better than anticipated. I can go travel and work in Thailand and now I have nothing to lose.</p>\n<p>\"Sorry about the screw you boss, I\'ll keep my job thanks!\"</p>\n<p>Now maybe some of you know that your employer offers a career break, but like me if you didn\'t, go ask. Check your employers policy regarding annual leave, for example my employers policy offers a career break of anywhere between 3 months and 5 years at the line managers discretion. The length of time is the final decision of your manager. Mine will only give me 12 months not the 24 I requested but that means I have a guaranteed job to walk back into a year later. I may not come back to work but this gives me the security and opportunity I\'ve been looking for to go try something. So if leaving your job scares you and it\'s holding you back from a new adventure, this is your opportunity, go ask for that career break and join me.</p>\n<p><strong>Colin Steele</strong></p>\n<p>I will be attending a month long TEFL course in August 2011 and will be running a blog called&nbsp;<em>Farang in Thailand</em> the whole time to document my experience.

Some plan to make a career out of teaching English, while some younger individuals plan to teach for a year or two to enjoy living abroad before starting their \"real\" career. Still others teach English as a second career and begin later in life while a few use teaching English as a means to transition from one type of career to another.\n<p>For most native speaking teachers, teaching English will not be the only type of job an individual will hold during his or her lifetime. However, in general, teaching English is thought of as being separated from the rest of a person\'s career. Some have argued that teaching English for a native speaker requires little more than a solid knowledge of one\'s native language and has little impact on developing other profession skills, however I will try to make the case that while teaching English in Thailand or other foreign country might not be the normal path to climbing the corporate ladder, there are skills and abilities one can gain from teaching English that can be useful for individuals intending to eventually change careers.</p>\n<p>Valued skills that can be acquired while teaching English</p>\n<p><strong>1. Presentation skills.</strong></p>\n<p>For experienced teachers, standing up in front of groups or people and attaining the audience\'s attention comes naturally. However, this skill is both valued by employers and relatively rare. Personal experience of watching and grading presentations of mid-level executives in MBA programs has impressed upon me the general lack of public speaking skills in most occupations. Since for the native speaker, one already has a pretty solid grasp on the topic being taught, most of the focus in teaching English is about presentation. For most experienced native English speaking teachers, one\'s focus in preparing and executing a lesson is primarily on the presentation of the material and this focus helps develop public speaking and presentation skills.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Language skills.</strong></p>\n<p>The ability to write and speak professionally is a valued skill. Teaching English requires a reflection on the use of language, including grammar. I remember one of my professors, a successful consultant, saying one of the reasons he liked to teach was it required him to think through and gain a deeper understanding of the topics he was teaching. He felt this helped him to continuously increase his own knowledge and understanding which he could use outside the classroom. This same principle could apply for English teachers as well. Preparing and delivering lessons on the English language can help individuals improve their understanding of the use of language and grammar. The ability to write and speak professionally is not as common as might be thought and having these abilities can be used throughout one\'s professional career whether one stays in teaching or not.</p>\n<p>Also living and working abroad provides an excellent opportunity to learn and practice foreign languages.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Self-management skills</strong></p>\n<p>Most English teachers are given a lot of freedom to prepare and deliver lessons, yet teachers are still responsible for the results. The ability to produce quality results without direct supervision is a skill valued across industries and employers.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Cross-cultural work skills. </strong></p>\n<p>As any native English speaker who has worked in a Thai school knows, working with individuals from a different culture is quite different than working in one\'s home country. With some patience and a willingness to break free of one\'s comfort zone, teaching English in a foreign country provides an excellent opportunity to develop skills in working in a cross-environment. These skills may be especially important for individuals interesting in an \"international\" career.</p>\n<p>It is not being suggested teaching English is the best preparation for careers in international business or other fields, but it is suggested teaching English does not have to be \"wasted time\" for those intending to move on from English teaching eventually. The transferable skills one can gain from teaching English are some of the same skills that make one a good teacher.</p>\n</p>\n<p>So spending a little extra effort in developing presentation, language, self management and cross cultural work skills while working teaching English in Thailand or another country can pay dividends whether one decides to stay in the education profession or move on to other professional pursuits.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>','','2011-06-29 18:56:07',1,'2011-06-29 18:56:07','2011-06-30 09:09:08'),(5764,52,'July 2011','july-2011','All the latest deals from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','Secure yourself a good deal on a Thailand TEFL course in our monthly TEFL course news blog.

The OIC took over with a firm commitment to keep a tight rein on the insurance companies and to make certain that they maintained enough funds to pay their claims. Just this year, two auto insurers experienced the wrath of the OIC and were closed down. Unlike in the past, though, the insureds did not lose their coverage.

The insurance company rejected the claim because it was a dental problem and treatment for dental problems is clearly excluded.

The insurance company stood firm. The insured finally contacted the OIC for help and showed them the surgeon\'s letter. A meeting was scheduled. Both the insurance company and the insured came loaded with documents to prove that they were each right. The OIC refused to look at the documents and instead ruled in favor of the insured. The OIC reasoned that when there is doubt, the insurance company should payout.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The OIC is on your side.

Similarly, we only come to appreciate the value of something when we lose it. Losing a \"treasured job\" is a very good example. But what inculpable acts have our unfortunate colleagues committed in order to lose their jobs? Is it plain whimsical for employers to dismiss their employees? Must we hear and see more of these pathetic predicaments before we open our eyes so we don\'t commit similar blunders?<br />Well, we have all heard several cases of early termination of contracts here in Thailand? But have we personally thought of the most common reasons why teachers are forced by employers to terminate their contracts? To satisfy my curiosity, I have talked to several friends and they shared with me the main reasons why teachers get the bullet. <br />They said they have noted rampant cases, particularly in the project where we are teaching in now, where some of the best, the most efficient, or even the most ideal teachers are sacked from their jobs. Here are the most common reasons:</p>\n<p>Failing to pass the probation period.<br />Inefficiency<br />Tardiness<br />Using cell phones during class hours <br />Quarrelling with fellow teachers<br />Borrowing money from teachers and not paying it back.<br />Inflicting corporal punishment on students <br />Asking sexual favors from students. <br />Insubordination <br />Sleeping in the faculty room<br />Falsifying documents</p>\n<p>The above reasons cause teachers anxiety, embarrassment, trauma and sometimes even a sense of injustice. It is my hope that these cases will serve as a wake-up call to all ajarns and make us more conscious of what we can do to keep our jobs.<br />Isn\'t it highly commendable when we stick to the rules of conduct of our profession, to follow what is stipulated in our contracts, and to observe the unwritten rules of teaching? Teaching is undisputedly the noblest profession. Infringement of its ethical standards is a no-no, especially to educators. As teachers, we are expected to be models of perfection. We are all accountable.</p>\n<p>So, if we want to keep our jobs forever, give this adage a thought, \"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.\"</p>','','2011-07-03 19:21:12',1,'2011-07-03 19:21:12','2011-07-04 09:09:13'),(5800,20,'Things I won\'t do for work','things-i-wont-do-for-work','They say that everybody has a price','Although most of my TEFL experience has not been in Thailand, there is still a long list of things I won’t accept in a teaching job.

Talk numbers and cross my palm with silver because these are the things I simply won\'t do for work.\n<p><strong>1) Long Commutes.</strong> Commuting is a biggie for me. I simply refuse to sit on the emphysema express for over an hour stuck in traffic, or the subway, or anything else if it takes forever to get to the destination.</p>\n<p><strong>2) Resources.</strong> If I make my own resources I intend to keep \'em. Sure the place pays my salary and the resources you generate technically belong to the school, but no way under gawd\'s black sun am I going to give up the time and effort I spent making things for class.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Photocopying.</strong> I won\'t spend my own money photocopying stuff and I expect to be reimbursed if I do. I don\'t care if the whiz bang new Canon has broken down and everyone has to wait. If I have to photocopy outside, then I want my money back.</p>\n<p><strong>4) Eating.</strong> There\'s a clause in my contract that says \'teachers are not permitted to consume the students\' food at snack/lunchtime\' as the school provides gourmet snacks and lunches from places like Deli France. Like hey, what about students eating my food? I have been known to sneak off food now and then, so arrest me or cut my hand off. And the little demons waste so much food. What\'s a piece of turkey on rye going astray?</p>\n<p><strong>5) Accept a probation period at a lower pay.</strong> I understand that a new job is conditional and may be terminated if the employer isn\'t happy. If you don\'t like me, FIRE me...but don\'t steal from me for three months in the process.</p>\n<p><strong>6) Change grades/marks.</strong> Unless clear evidence of error or very special circumstance can be shown. I calls \'em the way I sees \'em. If the school wants to change my grades, I probably can\'t stop them. However, I will not legitimize this process by doing it for them.</p>\n<p><strong>7) Knuckle under when presented with an attempt to force a contract change, or blatant failure to perform the contract by the employer.</strong> I\'m a reasonable girl. I\'ll work with you. I understand that things are a little late sometimes. I at least try to not sweat the small stuff too much. I won\'t punt a job just because I never get the free Chinese lessons in my contract but I will not allow anyone to outright give me the ol\' switcheroo on any significant part of our agreement and that includes pay, allowances, and major benefits. I\'m no one\'s bitch, and I\'m not going to let myself get slapped like one. If I\'m still working there, I will quit. There are a zillion other jobs out there. If the contract is ending, I will raise all kinds of hell. I will always do everything in my reach to make it easier to abide by our agreement, than to break it.</p>\n<p><strong>8) Allow my home, telephone number, or free time to be unreasonably opened up to students and parents or school activities without my consent.</strong> Some schools simply assume that you\'ll be delighted to be on 24/7 duty answering calls from parents or kids, field all manner of calls to your home or mobile phones....you name it. When it happens, this nonsense needs to be brought to an immediate screeching halt. My space and my phone money and my free time are MINE, dammit. I am intensely jealous of them. I understand that some presence at school events, with proper notice, just comes with the territory. I don\'t mind, if it\'s reasonable. Some allowance for making yourself available to students and parents is DEFINITELY reasonable. Sometimes I genuinely enjoy socializing ....but this will be MY choice, not the choice of the school. However, when presented with a surprise I find intrusive, I\'m as blunt as I have to be about saying \'No\'. <br />The Chinese inability to understand the concepts of \"privacy\" and \"personal space\" is simply not my responsibility.</p>\n<p><strong>9) Dress appropriately.</strong> I understand why one can\'t flash mammary glands or legs or \'I love Mom and Dad\' tats, but having to cover up head to toe in a bajou kurong thing is too much to bear in the stinking heat. It leaves me gasping and reaching for the deodorant. And how do the locals stay so fresh? Why do Asians never seem to sweat? What about people tripping over your skirt tail? Excruciatingly painful.</p>\n<p><strong>10) Bonuses.</strong> I\'ve got to have the perks including the flights. And if I don\'t want to fly back to my homegrown cave then give me the cash thanks. I am not flying Ethiopian Airlines either.</p>\n<p><strong>11) Meetings.</strong> If they are not in English, I won\'t attend some three hour time waster when the key points can be e-mailed to me. No, I won\'t ask my friend to translate for me either. Hire me a translator and forget scheduling long pointless meetings on the last day of term because I\'m flying back to my batcave. Same goes for any public holiday.</p>\n<p><strong>12) Morning Exercise.</strong> This one\'s another bone for contention and a Chinese obsession. Bell dings and everyone shuffles out in class groups, lines up and awaits the music to begin. Now I don\'t have anything against exercise - horizontal or otherwise - if its in a gym or jogging, but I refuse to do knee to elbows wearing a skirt to Lady Gaga or jumping up and down to Michael Jackson. That\'s just losing face unless you\'re the PE teacher. Besides, that\'s what the TA\'s are for. They don\'t need the foreign teacher to be doing this and sometimes filming it. Worked with a girl years ago who was the size of a battle-ship. She was close to fainting every morning. Ended up getting a note from the doc.</p>\n<p><strong>13) Pictures and publicity.</strong> I won\'t ever allow my image to be pimped out without my permission. My old school had a picture of me on some promo stuff and I went completely ape shit. I told them they would have to pay me cold hard cash for the right to use my image on any material as I had NEVER given them permission to use my image in any way.</p>\n<p><strong>14) Dressing Up.</strong> I will NEVER agree to dress up like Mrs Santa, an elf or anything else! fuck that! I already hate that I\'m expected to be happy about dressing up in a cheap, ill-fitting crappy costume that cost 20rmb and smile and dance and various other BS. I\'ll do it as long as I can selectively head-butt any child of my choice if they piss me off.</p>\n<p><strong>15) Summer / Winter holidays.</strong> As a teacher, I won\'t let a school guilt me into working over my winter and summer break unless I am 100% happy to give up my holiday time and I\'m not flying back to my batcave.</p>\n<p>\"Oh but the students really love you and want to see you\"</p>\n<p>Awwwww............ that\'s sweet but unless I need some extra money I\'m getting drunk and sleeping in till 2 in the arvo every day.</p>\n<p><strong>Article by Sentrix</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/saying_no.jpg','2011-07-04 21:43:44',1,'2011-07-04 21:43:44','2011-07-05 11:11:45'),(5829,4,'Business as usual','business-as-usual','More rambling from a TEFL lunatic','I\'ve been living and teaching in Phnom Penh Cambodia for six months now.

I suppose I could write about the magnificent ancient temples of Ankhor Wat, the beaches of Sihanoukville, the Buddhist scriptures and artifacts, and the splendor of the Royal Palace. But I won\'t. What I would rather write about are the people, the society, and some of the students: Like the 21 year old girl who is being pimped to a 45 year old American she\'s never met; or the 14 year old who fired her family maid. (What else was she supposed to do? There were no eggs!) A 12 year old with a personal chauffeur; a 13 year old who forgets his book in his &lsquo;other house\'; the administrator who loves to play &lsquo;slap and tickle\' with his girlfriend in the back row. Yes, I think I\'ll write about them; and a few others. After all, it\'s not the temples or the beaches or the Royal Place that makes Cambodia what it is. It\'s the students, stupid!</p>\n<p><strong>(Miss Cambodia said I\'m nasty. I\'m so happy!)</strong></p>\n<p>I am told by the principal that I have a new class. Fantastic, I\'m teaching six hours a day again and can stay at the school for 12 hours. I really am happy about that since I get more done that way.</p>\n<p>It\'s an upper-intermediate level 10 class with six teenaged and adult students. The principal said that they are lazy so relax and go easy on them. Lazy? Not in my class. So on Monday evening I walk in. I see five females and one male. I am told the male of the species is an administrator at the school. (And we all know how I love administrators.) I am also told the woman sitting next to him is his fianc&eacute;e and possibly the most beautiful woman in all of Cambodia. (Let\'s call her &lsquo;Miss Cambodia\'.) Of the remaining four women, two are high-school students, and the other two are currently looking for employment.</p>\n<p>Anyway, Mr. Administrator and Miss Cambodia sit next to each other and giggle like 15 year olds who have just discovered that they like each other. They also teasingly slap and pinch each other. (Let\'s call that Cambodian foreplay.)</p>\n<p>Before I have a chance to introduce myself, two cell phones go off. Mr. Administrator begins talking on his, and Miss Cambodia walks out of the room and into the hallway and begins chatting on her phone. I follow her into the hallway. \"Get back into class and turn off your cell phone.\"</p>\n<p>\"Teacher, I\'m talking to my mother.\"</p>\n<p>\"Get back in class!\" I\'m beginning to raise my voice. Quite frankly, I don\'t care who hears me. In fact, I am determined to grab control of the situation and comfortably ensconce myself as the &lsquo;King of the Classroom.\' Miss Cambodia walks back into class.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Mr. Administrator continues to talk.</p>\n<p>\"Turn off your phone\", I tell him.</p>\n<p>\"I am talking to the principal.\"</p>\n<p>\"TURN IT OFF!\"</p>\n<p>He does, and angrily puts the phone in his pocket. I turn around and write a few simple rules in the whiteboard. Besides telling them to always come prepared to class by bringing the proper material, (textbook, notebook, pen, pencil, dictionary, etc.), I also tell them to bring to the classroom a good attitude and a work ethic.</p>\n<p>I also write on the board in bold letters &lsquo;TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE BEFORE COMING TO CLASS. IF YOU DON\'T, YOUR PHONE BECOMES MINE.\' (By the way, I still use my cheap no-frills Nokia which I bought in Thailand in 2004, so I can use one of those new fancy-schmancy phones.)</p>\n<p>I then explain the rules to the students. These rules are open neither to negotiation nor discussion. Afterwards Miss Cambodia looks at me with puppy-dog eyes. Sorry, Miss Cambodia. That doesn\'t work with me anymore. \"Oh teacher\", she says, \"you are so nasty.\"</p>\n<p>My face lights up. \"Thank you!\" I reply happily. The class laughs. \"That\'s the nicest thing a student here has said to me.\"</p>\n<p>We start class; the cell phones are switched off; and the learning begins.</p>\n<p><strong>(Wanted! A foreign husband for the little one)</strong></p>\n<p>A colleague of mine, a foreign teacher from England, storms into the teacher\'s room one morning recently and angrily sits down at his desk next to mine. \"This is bullsh*t!\" he says, \"absolute bullsh*t!\"</p>\n<p>Okay, I\'ll bite. It\'s a slow morning, anyway. \"What?\"</p>\n<p>He looks at me and I think I see smoke coming out of his ears. \"You remember Jane Doe?\" (Not her real name)</p>\n<p>\"Sure. She was in my level one class last term.\"</p>\n<p>\"She\'s getting married, or so she told me.\"</p>\n<p>\"Mazel Tov.\"</p>\n<p>\"The thing is, she\'s 21 and he\'s 45.\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh.\"</p>\n<p>\"And she\'s here in Cambodia, and he\'s in America. Her uncle is forcing her to marry a 45 year old American she\'s never met. Apparently they have been chatting on the Internet. That\'s why she\'s learning English; to go to America and marry this guy. Unbelievable! And complete and utter bullsh*t! It\'s all about money.\"</p>\n<p>I like this teacher. He cares about his students and wants them to learn. So far I\'ve been fortunate here. I work with a few caring and dedicated foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>Another foreign teacher, and Australian, chimes in: \"There\'s a Khmer family living next door to me. Her mother asked me if I knew any foreign men for their daughter. She\'s only 10, I told her. Yes, she says, but you can never start too early.\"</p>\n<p>Business as usual, mate: business as usual.</p>\n<p>(As of this writing, it is more than halfway through the next eight-week term and \"Jane Doe\" is nowhere to be found. I was told by her Khmer teacher that \"maybe she dropped out.\" As for the 10 year old, I believe her mother is still looking.)</p>\n<p><strong>(What!?! No eggs today? You\'re fired!)</strong></p>\n<p>Ah, the stories I hear in this place. The things I see and hear. It\'s enough to drive this TEFL lunatic completely mad.</p>\n<p>A student, a 12 year old girl, rummages through her school bad anxiously looking for something. Realizing she cannot find it, she takes out her $400.00 iPhone and starts pressing buttons. \"Hey, what are you doing?\"</p>\n<p>\"I\'m sorry, teacher, but I seem to have left the memory stick for my laptop at home. I will just call my driver and he will deliver it immediately.\"</p>\n<p>\"Your driver? What are you, the Queen of England? Turn off your phone and put it away or I\'ll throw it out the window.\"</p>\n<p>Another student, a 13 year old boy with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), sits down in class and immediately starts fidgeting. Everyone has their textbook out but him. \"Where\'s your book?\"</p>\n<p>\"Sorry teacher, I left it in my other house.\"</p>\n<p>\"Your other house? How many houses do you have?\"</p>\n<p>I imagine him telling the teacher about his houses: His five bedroom mansion here in Phnom Penh complete with a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a Jacuzzi, as well as his condo in Sihanoukville, and his four bedroom villa off the coast of Monaco overlooking the Mediterranean.</p>\n<p>And not to be outdone by Miss iPhone and Mr. Other House, a 14 year old girl came into class one day looking rather glum. \"What\'s wrong?\"</p>\n<p>\"I didn\'t have breakfast this morning. I\'m hungry.\"</p>\n<p>\"I\'m sorry to hear that.\"</p>\n<p>\"Breakfast is supposed to be served at promptly 6:30 in the morning and there were no eggs.\"</p>\n<p>\"No eggs, oh dear. What did you do?\"</p>\n<p>\"I fired her.\"</p>\n<p>\"You fired her? Who did you fire?\"</p>\n<p>\"My maid, I fired my maid.\"</p>\n<p>\"You have a maid?\"</p>\n<p>\"Not anymore. I fired here.\"</p>\n<p>\"You fired your maid because there were no eggs?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes.\"</p>\n<p>\"Okay. Now open your book to page 20 please.\"</p>\n<p><strong>(Why I don\'t give my students homework: \"Much to his chagrin.\")</strong></p>\n<p>My former class last term, a level 11 advanced evening class, was preparing for their final exam. For the penultimate class I gave them a writing assignment to do in class. The class before they were reading a book review from the textbook with comprehension questions, so to get them prepared for the writing component of the exam, I told them to think of a book they had read recently or a movie they had seen and write a four paragraph review. They were to follow the guidelines set out for them in the textbook. I explained and modeled the assignment, concept checked, and away they went. Most of them finished by the end of class, but a few did not. I told them that this was not homework and we would continue next time.</p>\n<p>Wouldn\'t you know it? A few of them who didn\'t finish the writing assignment the previous class ended up doing it at home.</p>\n<p>This included a teenaged male who can barely answer a question from the textbook. He gives me his completed work, a three page impeccably written review of the movie \"Titanic.\" I read it. It\'s perfect. I\'m amazed! I\'m flabbergasted! I\'m shocked! There are no errors, no mistakes. The grammar, spelling, and punctuation are flawless, including this passage:</p>\n<p>\"After running out of ammunition, Cal realizes he gave the diamond to Rose, much to his chagrin, but returns to the boat deck and boards a life boat by pretending to look after a lost child.\"</p>\n<p>Much to his chagrin! Wow I\'m impressed. I never even taught that to him. I walk over to the student who penned this incredible movie review. \"Very good job\", I tell him, \"but tell me; this term, &lsquo;much to his chagrin\', what does it mean? What is chagrin?\"</p>\n<p>He looks at me for a moment as if lost for words. He then looks around the room hoping I\'d go away. I repeat the question. \"I don\'t know, teacher. I just copy from the Internet.\"</p>\n<p>I thank him for his honesty. This is one of the reasons why I don\'t give homework. This and the fact that I can\'t be with the students to help them. Whatever extra work needs to be done, I make time to do it in class. I find this is better for the students. Let them struggle, let them flub the work. That\'s how they learn, much to their chagrin.</p>\n<p><strong>(And all it took was three phone calls)</strong></p>\n<p>The first week of a new term begins. I walk into my level 7 listening and speaking class. I see one student; a 23 year old monk with the orange robe wrapped around him. I look at the attendance sheet. There should be seven or eight students here. \"Where are the others?\" I ask the monk.</p>\n<p>\"I think they went home.\"</p>\n<p>\"Were they here for the grammar class with the Khmer teacher?\"</p>\n<p>\"Some of them were.\"</p>\n<p>\"How about the three girls who were here on Tuesday, were they in the Khmer teacher\'s class today?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes\" the monk says.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me\" I tell him, \"this will only take a few minutes.\" I look at the attendance sheet and see the mobile phone numbers for each of the students\' parents. I take out my mobile phone and start calling. The conversation went something like this:</p>\n<p>STUDENT\'S MOTHER: Hello.</p>\n<p>ME: Hello Mrs. _______? My name is Steve. I\'m ________ English teacher at ______ School.</p>\n<p>STUDENT\'S MOTHER: Oh yes, is there anything wrong?</p>\n<p>ME: Well, your daughter is not in my class right now. In fact, she has not been here for three days this week. I\'m just calling to make you aware of this. Perhaps you can talk to her when she gets home.</p>\n<p>STUDENT\'S MOTHER: Yes I will. Thank you for calling.</p>\n<p>ME: You\'re welcome, Mrs. _________.</p>\n<p>Since that day those three girls who skipped my extremely important listening and speaking class have been faithful followers every day. And all it took was three phone calls.</p>\n<p><strong>(My lizard and two cockroaches\' speech) </strong></p>\n<p>I love this speech, mostly because it\'s true. At the moment I work with four other native English teachers; all good and dedicated teachers in their own right. That\'s rare to see in one place. Sure, they\'re a bit strange, but then again, so am I. What makes them different from me is that all of these men are either married to or living with their Khmer partners; three of the four have young children and the other has a wife who is expecting any time now. So the baby talk in the teacher\'s room is almost non-stop.</p>\n<p>\"My baby grew her first tooth today.\"</p>\n<p>\"Well my son loves to sit on the balcony and watch all the cars go by.\"</p>\n<p>\"My daughter said, &lsquo;I wove you daddy.\' It was so cute.\"</p>\n<p>\"&lsquo;I wove you?\' mimicked one of the teachers. Your kid has great pronunciation!\"</p>\n<p>Everyone laughs. This is nice, by the way. It beats the locker room talk found in most of the schools in Thailand. Do I feel left out? Although there was a time when having a daughter appealed to me, I very much dislike the idea (and reality) of a wife coming with it.</p>\n<p>Instead I have my \"Lizard and two cockroaches\' speech.\" It goes something like this:</p>\n<p>\"Kids, if you want to fool around and play games in class then you will have to give me back the time. You know that the other teachers here have a wife and kids, right?\"</p>\n<p>\"YES!\"</p>\n<p>\"They have to leave right after class to go home and see them. Their wife and baby will be very unhappy if they don\'t go home right away, right?\"</p>\n<p>\"RIGHT!\"</p>\n<p>\"But I don\'t have a wife and baby. You know what I have in my room?\"</p>\n<p>\"NO!\"</p>\n<p>\"A lizard and two cockroaches.\" They laugh. \"And the lizard and cockroaches don\'t care what time I get home. So I can stay with you as long as I want. If you need to work through your break to get everything done, we can do that. The lizard and cockroaches in my room won\'t get mad at me, so don\'t worry.\"</p>\n<p>The students get back to work.</p>\n<p><strong>(Have these people learned anything?)</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m into my sixth month at the school in which I currently teach, and I have some really good students. Students who care about their future; students who come to class prepared to learn; students who study; and a few students who are &lsquo;tuned into\' the environment around them. They are good students because they are good people; and they are good people because they have good parents; parents that have raised them with values, principles, and a strong work ethic. Sadly, this is a rare phenomenon. It\'s hard to find a multitude of students and parents like this anywhere in the world today. Blame computers, blame the Internet, blame fast food, blame the West; to me, it all comes down to one thing. Good children come from good parents and bad children come from bad parents. Call me old fashioned, but I still think parents have the largest and most important role to play in the way the next generation turns out.</p>\n<p>So what are teachers to do with a 14 year old who sacks the family maid because there were no eggs on the kitchen table when she awoke? How can I teach someone like that? This maid, who probably comes from a remote village and is making less than $100.00 a month, is obviously seen as less than human by this 14 year old and her family. This maid probably works 12 hour days with two days off a month if she\'s lucky.</p>\n<p>A 12 year old girl with a personal chauffeur, an iPhone, a laptop, and God only knows what else. What to do with her? A 13 year old boy who keeps forgetting his textbook in his &lsquo;other house\': What do we do about him?</p>\n<p>Have they been raised to believe that they are better than everyone else?<br />They are not. Their parents have money. That is all. And while many of these children are formally educated in exclusive international schools, they take for granted their &lsquo;privileged\' status and flaunt their wealth by viewing those less fortunate as \"children of a lesser God.\" They are not children of a lesser God; they are children of a lesser bank account.</p>\n<p>And it behooves me to say this, but I am not sticking up for the poor here. If I am to be brutally honest, I dislike the poor as much as I dislike the rich. Whenever I walk the streets, it is always the poor who ask me for money. The rich, for the most part, leave me alone. I like that about the rich.</p>\n<p>What these students in Cambodia are showing--- and there are many of them--- especially at exclusive international schools, is that they are ignorant, uncultured, and unschooled in the art of human relations. What these people in Cambodia are showing the world is that they have learned absolutely nothing from the &lsquo;Pol Pot era\', a four year period which saw a quarter of its population starved and slaughtered by a band of Communists and their brainwashed teenaged goons. It has not been two full generations since the genocide and 14 year old rich princesses are sacking the family maid, being driven to school in BMWs, walking into class decked out in rubies and sapphires, have private chauffeurs and bodyguards, and perhaps spending their weekends at the Prime Minister\'s mansion dining on lobster and beluga caviar.</p>\n<p>This is a city where high-school students give money to proctors who then allow the students to cheat on tests and exams. I recently read about this in the Cambodia Daily. Some students have been known to give proctors 5,000 or 10,000 riel, or $1.25 to $2.50 each for permission to cheat. Then we have some of the teachers who have been known to &lsquo;sell\' to students everything from handouts and assignments to answer sheets and final grades. That\'s what happens in a country where local teachers make $50.00 a month.</p>\n<p><strong>(Why sex-tourism and sex-trafficking continues to flourish)</strong></p>\n<p>What do we do with aunts and uncles, mothers and fathers who pimp their own daughters or nieces or sisters to much older foreign men? I have just finished reading \"Modern Slavery\" by Kevin Bales, an excellent read for those interested in finding out more about the huge problem of human trafficking and bonded labor. And I\'m following with great interest CNN\'s continued series on the phenomenon of human trafficking. It\'s a subject near and dear to my heart and has been for quite a while. As well-intentioned as CNN is in its campaign to end human slavery and sex trafficking, it will ultimately fail. And here are three reasons why:</p>\n<p>1) The propensity of many of the anti-sex trafficking advocates to exaggerate the figures and to use hyperbole when discussing this issue;<br />2) The ignorance and apathy of the general public, especially in the West;<br />3) A lack of social and political will to declare war on those truly responsible for the perpetuation of sex trafficking: Women.</p>\n<p>According to Bales, a full two-thirds of those who traffic in women and girls for sex here in Cambodia are women. And in an opinion piece in the July 8, 2011 edition of the Phnom Penh Post, Chenda Keo says this:</p>\n<p>\"As part of my doctoral research, I interviewed, among others, 91 individuals incarcerated for human trafficking in eight Cambodian prisons. Incarcerated traffickers in Cambodia are poor, uneducated individuals, AND 80 PERCENT OF THEM ARE WOMEN.\" (Emphasis in capital letters mine)</p>\n<p>In fact, go to the bars of Bangkok and Pattaya, Phnom Penh, and Angeles City in the Philippines and you\'ll find a very high percentage of bar owners and managers to be women. While men are the customers, it is women who run the show. It\'s the same for those who traffic in women and girls. Behind each teenaged Southeast Asian girl that is pimped to a 45 year old American, there is a mother or an aunt who dreams of wearing pearls and shopping for Gucci handbags and taking long vacations to Europe. Then there\'s the \"mail-order bride\" industry in the Philippines, where women on numerous websites act as their own brokers.</p>\n<p>While there is nothing wrong with wanting a real leather handbag, there is something terribly wrong with selling your own daughter to get it. And while there is nothing wrong with wanting to live and work in an affluent first-world country, there is something morally and ethically wrong with selling yourself to a foreign man with intent of getting a \"Green Card\" or a phony fianc&eacute;e visa. In fact, that\'s a crime and anyone who does that should, at the very least, spend many years locked in a small dark cell to ponder their actions.</p>\n<p>But the world is not yet ready to declare war on the women who dare to sell their own children; and it probably never will be. The world is still living in the illusion that women are only the victims of sex trafficking, like my 21 year old ex-student. But women today are increasingly becoming sex trafficking agents, the perpetrators of this crime, and sexual predators themselves in the many cases of using foreign men to traffic themselves to first-world countries. That is why sex-tourism and sex trafficking will continue to flourish.</p>\n<p>I wish I could do something for my former 21 year old student who clearly does not want to be pimped to a 45 year old American she has never met. I wish I could confront her family. I wish I could find out who this American sex-tourist is so that I could plaster his face all over the Internet. But I don\'t feel like floating face down in the Tonle Sap River come Monday morning. So to the family who is pimping her, I hope you enjoy all the money she will eventually send back to your village. I hope you can sleep at night while she cries herself to sleep missing her family. Yes, think of the money. And try to convince the rest of us how much you love your daughter. Bastards!</p>\n<p><strong>(Stay out of politics!)</strong></p>\n<p>That\'s what my father tells me, and he tells me this often. He sees what I post on my Facebook page and he\'s been known to read my blogs on occasion. Stay out of politics over there, he keeps saying.</p>\n<p>But that\'s impossible. I enter the world of politics every time I step into a classroom in Southeast Asia. This part of the world is a social, economic, moral, and ethically barren wasteland; a nightmare for those who truly want to do good work. Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines... the list goes on. Political corruption on a massive scale, graft, bribery, unimaginable poverty, and a huge disparity between the rich and poor, crime, child soldiers, child prostitutes, child labor, slave labor, the ignorance, and the apathy, superstition, greed, and cultural backwardness... the list goes on. It boggles my mind why any westerner from a first-world country would want to live here long term. I sometimes wonder why I\'m still here.</p>\n<p>Stay out of politics? Teaching is not only an educational act; it is also a political act. Governments in this part of the world don\'t want their citizens educated because they don\'t want to be challenged. That makes educating a child a subversive act. Why put money into education and pay good teachers what they are truly worth when you can build super-highways to Pattaya, Sihanoukville, and Angeles City where perverts and pedophiles can get to their prey a lot faster? Education then becomes a call to action; a call to war where your only weapons are books, pens, pencils, and social networks on the Internet. You want to spit in the government\'s face? Teach a child to read. You want to go against any government in Southeast Asia? Educate their children properly.</p>\n<p><strong>(Are you happy with business as usual?) </strong></p>\n<p>So what is this &lsquo;business as usual\' of which I speak? I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again since people in this part of the world seem to be poor listeners. If you\'re happy making $100.00 a month and living in a one-room shack, then God bless you. Go back to business as usual. And don\'t come to my class. But if you dream of one day living in a nice house, driving a nice car, wearing nice clothes, and eating good food, then by all means come to my class, roll up your sleeves, and get to work.</p>\n<p>And that means you Mr. Administrator and Miss Cambodia. Since both of you failed the first of my four exams, I had to separate you two and place you at opposite ends of the classroom. (I would have done this a while ago, but I couldn\'t find a crowbar.) It\'s time to stop playing &lsquo;slap and tickle\' with each other in the back row. It\'s time to stop treating my English class as a joke. It\'s time to stop thinking that white western English teachers are here to entertain you.</p>\n<p>One of the reasons I came to Cambodia is to bear witness to miracles; to see a phoenix rise from the Khmer Rouge ashes. In my own small way I have been lucky thus far. Daily, I am in the company of a few Khmer teachers who are working harder than I have ever seen teachers work. I am honored to be working with these teachers. You know who you are.</p>\n<p>But for those who deign in any way to use my classroom as their own personal playground, you are in for a rude awakening. My classroom is my temple and within its walls there is no room for business as usual.</p>\n</p>','','2011-07-10 17:36:35',1,'2011-07-10 17:36:35','2011-07-11 07:07:36'),(5849,21,'Ask Joyce Armitage','ask-joyce-armitage','When only a wise old head will do.','I am here to answer all those nagging ‘teacher etiquette’ questions that sometimes even your best friends and colleagues can’t or won’t answer.

Best regards, Joyce Armitage.</p>\n<p><strong>Dear Joyce. Whenever I attend a job interview and find myself in front of an interview panel, I\'m always confused as to whether I should acknowledge everyone in the room. I am of course referring to the school &lsquo;lackey\' - often a young, pretty girl who is there just to take notes? Simon.</strong></p>\n<p>Joyce is of the belief that acknowledging everyone in the interview room endears you to all those present and will do you no harm whatsoever in the job hiring process. Obviously one should pay more careful attention to those asking the questions because ultimately it\'s they who will make the final decision; however, ignoring a person on the basis of them being there &lsquo;just to take notes\' only serves to portray a degree of aloofness on your part. That said, Joyce would be quick to point out the fine line that exists between being friendly and being flirtatious. Flash a smile from time to time - but leave it at that.</p>\n<p><strong>Joyce, what should I do if a student wants to &lsquo;friend\' me on my Facebook page? Colin.</strong></p>\n<p>Joyce must confess to being far from au fait with all these social networking websites. I\'m not even sure if &lsquo;social networking\' is the right term. I have always believed that if one wants to communicate for purely social purposes, there really is no substitute for the telephone or a handwritten letter on good quality scented note-paper. From what little I have seen of these Facebook and Tweety websites, I feel it would be inappropriate to expose a student to writing and photographs that are invariably of a personal nature. This is one occasion where Joyce feels that business and pleasure certainly shouldn\'t mix.</p>\n<p><strong>I teach a group of adult students in the evenings, and I often address them from a seated position behind one of those old-fashioned flip-up desk-chairs. In other words, my legs are in full view of the class. What position should I adopt? I often go for one leg resting across the other but it just seems so inappropriate. Michael.</strong></p>\n<p>Believe it or not Michael - this is a very common question and a worry to so many other teachers - so you are certainly not alone. Joyce believes having both feet firmly planted on the floor is the most gentlemanly way to go about things, as long as you avoid that awful shaking leg syndrome which always comes across as ungainly. If your &lsquo;bottom half\' is constantly exposed to your students, it makes sense to make sure there are no hidden surprises going on under the table. Joyce definitely thinks this includes making sure there are none of those awful flashes of bare leg above the sock.</p>\n<p><strong>Hello Joyce. Unfortunately, I\'m a teacher who still enjoys a smoke between lessons (yes, yes, I know I should quit) but how can I go back into a classroom and make sure I don\'t reek of tobacco? Roger.</strong></p>\n<p>I tend not to have the same dim view of smoking when compared to others. My late husband, Stanley (a dear, dear man) enjoyed smoking in moderation and Joyce thinks everyone should be allowed a vice or two, provided they don\'t involve camcorders and handcuffs. Even I admit that times have changed now. Whereas in the past, a man carrying a small bag of toiletries usually hung around outside&nbsp;poorly-lit taverns winking at sailors on shore leave, there is positively no shame nowadays in disappearing into the men\'s room for a good old-fashioned freshen-up. And if a small leather zip-bag challenges one\'s masculinity, then I am sure a smart pencil-case would serve the purpose just as well.</p>\n<p><strong>Dear Joyce. I love your no nonsense approach to things. What is the best way to approach the admin staff at my school and enquire as to the status of my work permit application? I don\'t want to make them lose face and force them to admit that the passport poking out from under that great big pile of scrap paper is mine? Melissa.</strong></p>\n<p>This is a tricky one Melissa. Even Joyce has had occasion to bite her lip in the face of administrative error or simple negligence. I have always found the best way is to make small people feel special. Administrative staff often feel insignificant and unloved. Make them feel special by telling them what a fantastic job they do and how the school couldn\'t possibly function without them. But remember - all words must come from the heart. I remember years ago, when Stanley (a dear, dear man) and I lived in India for a while. We had a punkawalla of barely eighteen summers. His name I can\'t recall but I remember him being dark-skinned, wiry and muscular. I used to present him with the odd gift from time to time and it made all the difference in our working relationship. I\'m not suggesting you shower your admin staff with a treasure chest of glittering jewels but kind words can be just as precious.</p>\n<p><strong>Dear Joyce. I teach in a very small town in North Eastern Thailand with very few what you might call &lsquo;late night entertainment venues\' However, on a Friday night, after a hard week in the classroom, myself and a couple of teaching colleagues like to paint the town red. I\'m always worried in case a student, or heaven forbid, their parents, might see us &lsquo;under the influence\'. Dave.</strong></p>\n<p>Joyce might be an old fuddy-duddy in many people\'s eyes, but she knows one thing - boys will always be boys. And I think the world appreciates that people like to let their hair down at the weekend and there will always be times when one\'s judgment is not perhaps as &lsquo;culturally sensitive\' as it could be. However, even a drunken sailor should know where the line is drawn. There is nothing wrong in getting a tad boisterous on a gentleman\'s night out as long as there is no full-frontal nudity and no animals are hurt in the process.</p>\n<p><strong>I am the only female teacher in an all-male teacher\'s room. When I turn up for work on a Monday morning, the guys are invariably exchanging weekend war stories while I want no more than to disappear to my little alcove and get on with my lesson preparation. Does Joyce think I\'m obliged to join in with the staffroom banter or am I Ok to sidestep it at risk of being called an &lsquo;uptight frump\'? Jenny.</strong></p>\n<p>These war stories as you call them - most of them grossly exaggerated - are exchanged in male-dominated workplaces all over the globe. Joyce is inclined to say who cares what everyone thinks as long as you are there to do your job well and conduct yourself in a professional manner befitting a lady. Be honest with yourself - say \"look guys. I would love to stand around gossiping but these lessons aren\'t going to prepare themselves\". Remember the old saying - sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me.</p>\n<p><strong>Hi there Joyce. I\'m applying for jobs and don\'t feel it\'s necessary to put my date of birth on my resume. I\'m 63 years old if you must know but I look and act so much younger. Why should I give any recruiter the pleasure of saying \"you\'re too old\" and filing my resume immediately in the waste paper basket? Edward.</strong></p>\n<p>Unfortunately it seems to be standard procedure these days to include your date of birth on a curriculum vitae. However, you can take pleasure from the fact that often a more mature head will be required for the position. It\'s not always the young who automatically go to the top of the pile. One very good reason why Joyce would always make sure date of birth is included is to avoid one of those beastly communication exchanges where a company has to ask for your age in a straightforward manner. It\'s not an exchange either party really wants to get involved in.</p>\n<p><strong>Joyce. My school makes me do gate duty twice a month. I am by nature a very relaxed person and tend to slouch an awful lot. How can I make sure I\'m creating the right impression in front of the parents when they drop their kids off at school? Murray.</strong></p>\n<p>I think this is all a matter of self-discipline Murray. You\'re obviously concerned about making a good impression for the parents but you are only human. Just act natural and no one will fault you for it. No one expects you to salute and stand there ramrod stiff with a frozen smile, just as no one expects you to lean against the school gates with your hands in your pockets. Adopt a safe middle ground. Shoulders straight, hands clasped loosely in front of you and legs slightly apart to ensure equal weight distribution.</p>\n<p><strong>Dear Joyce, I work in a poor rural school with no air-conditioning in the classrooms and sometimes during the lesson, my throat is like the inside of a bus driver\'s glove. I never feel really comfortable taking drinks into the classroom, especially when the students are suffering just as much as I am, but during the hot season, I can barely get my words out. The students all think I\'ve lost my voice but it\'s because I\'m totally parched. Honestly Joyce - sometimes my throat is like a baby camel\'s chewing rag. Alf.</strong></p>\n<p>You certainly have my sympathy Alfred. And I\'m going to join the chorus and say you are perfectly entitled to partake of a little refreshment to help your lessons along. However, Joyce thinks that this is a time for discretion. Discreet sips from a glass of water are going to win you far more brownie points than guzzling carbonated drinks from a can and telling the class how much better you feel.</p>\n<p><strong>Joyce. I\'ve been working at a private language school for about six months and I\'ve become very fond of one of the girls on the front desk. How can I let this girl know I\'m interested? I\'m not even sure that she likes foreigners but she sure smiles at me a lot. I\'m not looking for marriage but it would be nice to go on a proper date and get out of my apartment once in a while. Kenneth.</strong></p>\n<p>Kenneth, are you sure it\'s female company you crave and not just a group of friends you can socialize with? Let\'s presume that romance might be in the air. In that case, the rules of courtship are no different to when myself and Stanley (a dear, dear man) began our lifelong alliance. OK, there may be fewer stolen glances across the aisle of a church on Sunday mornings, but the rules are basically the same. Chat to the young lady in question, make her laugh, find out a little more about her, and you will instinctively know when it\'s time to ask for that important first date. I will give you one word of caution though - Stanley and I met when we both worked in the accounting department of Arthur Entwhistle and Sons (the company building has since been demolished to make way for a block of dreadful yuppie apartments) but we never let our blossoming relationship get in the way of our work. Even when we had our disagreements, the ledgers were always maintained to the highest degree. Keep in mind that conducting a relationship with a colleague will and always does have its risks.</p>\n<p><strong>Every Saturday morning, I teach a private student for a couple of hours in a local McDonalds. I only charge her 400 baht an hour. My question is this - who should pay for the actual food and drinks we consume? I don\'t want to sound like a bread-head but I feel that any food and drink I pay for is just eating into my hourly fee. Caz.</strong></p>\n<p>Joyce will say one thing - in this situation, very rare is the Thai student who would take advantage of &lsquo;his or her very own teacher\' by ordering the full-on set menu complete with the supersize option. In fact I\'ve known private Thai students to nurse a small soft drink through three changes of government. Never let it be said they are there to take advantage of the teacher. If you truly feel uncomfortable about the costs eating into your profits and overheads, perhaps it\'s time to look at things from an economical standpoint and increase your hourly rate. This way no one gets hurt.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/joyce2.jpg','2011-07-13 02:49:32',1,'2011-07-13 02:49:32','2014-06-16 20:08:33'),(5890,57,'Pets and Thailand real estate','pets-and-thailand-real-estate','Is it a good idea to bring your pet with you to live in Thailand?','When you plan to leave home to travel thousands of miles to the other side of the world, it presents a huge emotional strain.

Some of these loved ones have&nbsp;four legs,&nbsp;tails or even fins. So do you opt to leave them behind or do you bring them with you?&nbsp;It\'s a&nbsp;big question for some people!</p>\n<p>Travelling with pets is always a big problem: sorting out quarantine in some cases, organizing with airlines and dealing with customs all make the practical nature of travelling with your pets rather difficult and cumbersome. Only the truly dedicated and determined will be bothered to go through the ordeal. And it\'s important to remember it\'s no picnic for the animal either. He or she would definitely rather be at home curled up with the family than being locked up in a cage for a day or more and taken from one dark room to another, filled with unfamiliar sights, sounds and smells!</p>\n<p>This article is not designed to talk about animal transportation, but more the practical nature of living with a pet in Thailand, is it sensible? Is it practical? Is it indeed possible?</p>\n<p>Firstly let\'s cover areas outside of Bangkok, as it is in these areas where having a pet poses the fewest problems from a real estate point of view. If you are planning to live in a city outside of Bangkok, such as Chiang Mai or Khon Kaen, then it is quite likely you\'ll be able to pick up a detached house or townhouse for a reasonable rate which will allow you to house your pet, even if the pet is a large dog. Again if you are living in Samui, Phuket or another resort area then again, the possibility of picking up an in expensive and livable detached house or townhouse is high and should be easy enough.</p>\n<p>Just a few quick comments on this. You will probably not get the facilities such as swimming pools, fitness studios and security you would otherwise receive in a condominium or apartment block. The location of the property may have to be a bit out of the way (depending on size, quality and age required) so some sort of transport will almost certainly be necessary, like a moped or small car or pick-up truck.</p>\n<p>However things start to get more complicated when we start looking at finding properties suitable for pets within Bangkok, where the majority of international school teachers work.</p>\n<p>For those who don\'t know Bangkok very well or at all, the traffic is terrible. The roads are totally inadequate and people can regularly spend 2-3 hours or more commuting to work each day. Therefore it is important to live as close to work as possible in a property that suits your requirements. Fortunately Bangkok has&nbsp;four Metro systems, the BTS, the MRT, the BRT and then the&nbsp;airport link (which has a few stations along the line). But for most people the BTS or MRT are the most important and by far the most popular.</p>\n<p>The BTS and MRT makes it easy for teachers without pets to find <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/bts-search\">great accommodation that suits almost anyone\'s budget and requirements</a>, with brand new studio condos with swimming pools and gymnasiums from as little as THB 10 000/month to one bedroom, two bedroom and three bedroom condos and apartments within a few minutes\' walk of a BTS or MRT station.</p>\n<p>But if you have a dog, or even a noisy cat then it is unlikely that a condominium or apartment will allow the animal to stay. Even if the condo owner is comfortable with the dog the condominium building will probably still not allow it as other residents will complain when they see the dog in the corridors or lifts when taken out for a walk or to go to the toilet.</p>\n<p>I know back in the West even large dogs can live in apartments and condos in New York, London and many European cities, in fact in some cities like Paris they are even welcome in the occasional restaurant and caf&eacute;. But in Bangkok the rules are quite different and it is unlikely any condo or apartment will accept a dog of any size. Yes I am aware there are a few exceptions to this rule - there always is&nbsp;in every rule - but sod\'s law dictates that the condo or apartment that suits your requirements will not be able to accommodate a pet. And often the apartments that will accept dogs are often full due to the demand from their pet loving residents, who will often live there several years knowing there are so few alternatives on the market. Also it\'s worth keeping in mind that apartments that do allow pets and dogs are often not the cleanest. It\'s a bit like the old Groucho Marx joke &lsquo;I wouldn\'t want to be in a club that would have me as a member\' Often you wouldn\'t want to live in an apartment that will allow many pets to stay.</p>\n<p>So what can be done? What happens if you cannot bear to leave Fido back at home and he has to come with you? Well your only real alternative is a detached house or townhouse. These are really the only types of properties in Bangkok that will allow dogs and cats all the time.</p>\n<p>As mentioned earlier, Bangkok\'s traffic is terrible, so you\'ll want to live as close as you can to a BTS or MRT station and given the price of land in Bangkok there are going to have to be some sacrifices made to accommodate Fido. Firstly writing off the swimming pool, fitness room and security is a good idea. Then also plan to not live quite as close to&nbsp;the BTS or MRT as you would have done if you\'d been looking for a condo or apartment. And thirdly, given budget constraints the property may not be as new as a condo or apartment.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/town-house-ekkamai-394\">Here is an example of a typical inner-city townhouse</a> you\'d expect to pay THB 25 000 for per month as you can see it is nothing flash or especially modern and will still take almost 5mins on a motorbike to reach the nearest BTS station.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If you did not have the constraints of the pet, then a similar two-bedroom condo in the same location would come with a large swimming pool, sun-deck, well equipped fitness studio, security, underground parking and would be five minutes walk to the nearest BTS.</p>\n<p>So to sum up:</p>\n<p>1. As a general rule condos and apartments will not take dogs of any kind<br />2. Condos and apartments will tolerate quiet, none smelly pets such as quiet cats.<br />3. Townhouse and detached houses will allow most pets, but sacrifices will have to be made<br />4. Townhouses and detached houses are generally older, less secure and&nbsp;less value for money</p>\n<p>My advice is not to bring a pet, especially if you have to work in Bangkok, or for that matter to fall in love with one of the thousands of stray puppies or kittens in the sois of Bangkok. If you are just here for 1-2 years with no plan to stay then leave Fido at home and let him live in comfort. He\'ll wait for your return.</p>\n</p>','','2011-07-17 04:42:14',1,'2011-07-17 04:42:14','2011-07-17 18:06:15'),(5968,21,'Looking good in the classroom','looking-good-in-the-classroom','What\'s the ideal hairstyle for a female foreign teacher?','I am coming to Thailand at the end of the year and would be grateful if you could advise me as to what\'s appropriate and inappropriate in terms of women\'s hairstyles (in relation to teaching posts).','<p>Never one to shirk&nbsp;an opportunity to show its metrosexual side, ajarn.com received the following e-mail from Gina Gibson.</p>\n<p>\"I am coming to Thailand at the end of the year and would be grateful if you could advise me as to what\'s appropriate and inappropriate in terms of women\'s hairstyles (in relation to teaching posts).

All the teachers experience the same culture, so why such different reactions?\n','<p>While at the risk of sounding like a simplistic wannabe self-help guru, it is felt making a conscious effort to having a more positive attitude can make a teacher\'s life in Thailand or other country more successful and enjoyable.\n<p>Psychological research shows individuals tend to underestimate the impact of the internal factors affecting their behavior while overestimate the influence of external factors, although humans tend to reverse thoughts when attributing the factors influencing the behavior of others.</p>\n<p>This is especially true when attributing negative behaviors or attitudes. For example, when asked why one is happy, a person may attribute it to an external factor (The weather is beautiful) or an internal factor (I am a happy person). On the other hand, when asked why one is unhappy a person will almost always come up with an external justification (I just had a fight with my spouse) and almost never come up with internal factors (I am a grumpy person).</p>\n<p>While blaming failures or negative emotions to uncontrollable external factors may help one to maintain one\'s short-term self-esteem, it may be less helpful in creating long term benefits.</p>\n<p>Human behavior is the interface between oneself and the external world. While a single individual has limited ability to change the external environment, one has some influence on the internal factors within oneself and how one sees the world. As foreign teachers, changing how we see the culture around us, our students and our career can have a major impact on our behaviors.</p>\n<h3>Our environment</h3>\n<p>A culture or country is neither good nor bad. Good or bad are subjective terms and are dependent upon the perception of the individual doing the judging. For example, some foreign teachers love engaging with Thai culture while others find each day a struggle to overcome culture clashes. All the teachers experience the same culture, so why such different reactions?</p>\n<p>The answer is the different internal factors and attitudes within the different foreign teachers. It is assumed those who enjoy engaging with Thai culture are more likely to be successful and happy teachers than those who don\'t enjoy engaging with Thai culture and therefore a more positive attitude towards the culture one works in would seem to be of benefit.</p>\n<p>An example, a few years ago I took a job up north with an NGO. The headquarters for the NGO was in Mae Sot alongside the Thai-Burmese border. Around the same time I was starting I had a couple of disappointments/irritations. I has just interviewed for another job which I thought was my \"dream\" job, I thought my interview for the other job went well but I didn\'t get the job, therefore my new job in Mae Sot seemed like a consolation prize and a bit under the status and income I would have had with the other job. And then my car\'s engine had a blowup during my move from Bangkok, and the hotel I first stayed in was a bit dingy and dirty. Add to that, the people of Mae Sot seemed very unfriendly and unhelpful.</p>\n<p>One about my third day there, I was not very happy and started taking a walk through the town with a frown on my face and not surprisingly no one was making eye contact with me. Something happened while walking, I guess I was remembering a joke or something and a smile came across my face, next thing I noticed a couple of people I encountered smiled back. So, I made the conscience effort to smile during the rest of my walk and I began to realize the good points about my new job. People started smiling back and even a few engaged in conversations with me. After I made the conscious effort to take a more positive attitude, the town seemed much nicer, the job better and the town\'s people much more friendly.</p>\n<p>I went in a few moments from being unhappy, ineffective and disappointed with working in Mae Sot to being happy with both the job and the surrounding environment. Neither the job nor Mae Sot changed, but my perception of my situation changed from being negative to positive. I made a conscious choice to change my attitude and this choice made a major difference.</p>\n<h3>Students</h3>\n<p>How a teacher perceives the students will have a major impact on how one teaches. A teacher who believes his of her students are bright and willing to learn will take a far different approach than will a teacher who thinks his or her students are lazy, dull and unmotivated. It is proposed having a positive attitude about one\'s students will generally lead one to be a better teacher than would having a more negative attitude.</p>\n<p>A personal example, earlier in my career I once took a job teaching young people at a Thai bilingual school. It was not what I wanted to be doing and it did not take long to realize teaching young people was not my calling; but I needed a job to keep the wife and kids eating so I stayed until something else came along.</p>\n<p>I had this one boy in one of my classes who was nothing but trouble. I hated this kid, I yelled at him everyday and treated him very poorly and spent most of my time in the teacher\'s lounge complaining about this kid. He wasn\'t learning anything in my classes and I was spending so much time disciplining this boy that it was taking away from my ability to teach the other children in the class.</p>\n<p>One week we had a mandatory camp of some sort at a resort, where the teachers had to stay and act as camp counselors to the students. One day, I was taking my turn watching the boys in the swimming pool and I was in the water swimming. Pretty soon this young boy, the one I hated, swam up and wrapped his arms around my neck and rode on my back. Pretty soon we were playing and splashing each other and suddenly I saw this boy in a whole different light. Yes, he was still a poor student but he was also a normal good-hearted boy who enjoyed playing and being a boy.</p>\n<p>This experience changed the way I approached him in the classroom later on, my attitude towards him changed and I saw his positives attributes and not only his negative ones. Later in the year I think this new attitude helped me reach out to the boy a little and give him some positive feedback instead of only relying on negative reinforcement and I think he gained some benefits and knowledge from my new approach to teaching him. My change of attitude towards the boy allowed me to become a better teacher for him.</p>\n<h3>Career and profession</h3>\n<p>Some individuals enjoy teaching, others don\'t. Some teachers develop a career which progresses through stages while others seem to drift from one dead-end job to another.</p>\n<p>It is suspected teachers with a more positive approach to their work will take a more proactive approach to skill and career development and therefore will have more successful careers.</p>\n<p>It is felt having a positive attitude has influence my taking a proactive approach to my career which has resulted in a career which has included progressions in financial compensation, status and enjoyment of the work itself.</p>\n<p>An example, it is felt having a positive belief helped motivate me to create my first book proposal which let to the publication of my first book.</p>\n<p>Without trying to be overly simplistic, it is proposed making a conscious effort to take a more positive attitude toward the environment and culture one works in, the students one works with and the opportunities within one\'s career can help a teacher gain a variety of tangible and/or intangible benefits over the course of years.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Smile, and try to take a positive approach to one\'s work and life, it can\'t hurt and who knows, it might help.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 2.4pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">The author has also written about entrepreneurship in the book, <a href=\"http://www.e-elgar.com/bookentry_main.lasso?id=13820\">Contemporary Microenterprise: Concepts and cases publish by Edward Elgar</a></span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #545454; font-size: 10.5pt;\">&nbsp;</span></p>','','2011-07-26 03:34:56',1,'2011-07-26 03:34:56','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(5984,20,'Let\'s all make a difference in Thailand','lets-all-make-a-difference-in-thailand','Make a difference with Design for Change','You can change the lives of your students and improve the quality of life in Thailand by spending just a few hours a week organizing a Design for Change contest at your school.','<h3>Feel....Imagine....Do....Share</h3>\n<p>You can change the lives of your students and improve the quality of life in Thailand by spending just a few hours a week organizing a Design for Change contest at your school.</p>\n<p>This year, Design for Change reaches 33 countries and over 300,000 schools inspiring hundreds of thousands of children, their teachers and parents, to celebrate the fact change is possible and that they can lead that change!\n<p><strong>The largest global movement</strong></p>\n</p>\n<p>Design for Change is the largest global movement created to provide children an opportunity to express their own ideas for a better world, and put those ideas into action through a project based format.

Help!</p>\n<p>I flew in to Bangkok and spent&nbsp;four amazing days and nights there. I was about to head out towards Ubon to start looking for work when I was tipped off with a potential opportunity in the Si Sa Ket province of Isaan. 30K a month&nbsp;with free food (during school) and accommodation. I was skeptical. The idea was to check it out and if I didn\'t like what I saw I would just go elsewhere. Problem is, despite a trickle of improvements, one month in I am no closer to knowing if I am onto a good or bad thing here. Presumably this would be ideal for a more experienced (with Thai schools/language) farang with a Thai partner.</p>\n<p>Apparently the boss wanted me here for the Monday morning to start straight away, but when I got to the accommodation, it was pretty grim. TIT... An Isaan style wooden house (that absorbs heat) on stilts with a tatty straw mattress and a fold-up bed and pillow with a few bottles of water. The windows didn\'t shut properly (it rained in on my suitcase during my second day at school) and the newly installed wiring wasn\'t finished. I was asked to be patient because this village&nbsp;was desperate for a native English speaking teacher and I would get whatever I needed.</p>\n<p>Since then they have bought me a fridge and a wardrobe and closed off the bad windows and installed air-con in my bedroom. After a few weeks books have begun to arrive and a new room for the mini-English class has been completed featuring air-con and my own lockable desk.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/flea1.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"200\" />The owner, despite rushing me out here before the accommodation was decent (to my mind anyway) does seem like a reasonable guy. Although he owns this privately run school he actually works elsewhere in the province at a bigger government school (is the principle there afaik). His wife is nice, she works at the local hospital and sometimes brings me fruit or cold drinks. He also gave me a secondhand bicycle so I can get around the village on my own. His younger brother is the principle at my school and he himself is humble and a very decent guy. Last week he went with me to Laos to change my 60 day tourist visa into a non-B.</p>\n<p>\n<p>The people of the village seem friendly but are not used to seeing a farang here. I was told I would be the first ever farang in this area and that my job was to help set up a private mini-English program at the school. It\'s quite small at the moment but has been going very well. There are just 7 kids but whilst in Laos, the principle (the owner\'s brother) told me I can stay for a second year if I want and that the kids are speaking very good English and are going home motivated to learn the language and are teaching it to their parents (some of whom I have met or who work at the school). This mini-English program amounts to about 8 hours contact and I have a Thai \'assistant\' who I work well with and she also runs me about the village to get things I need or to take me to eat at her place with some other teachers sometimes. She is the school\'s English teacher, her English is about pre-intermediate (my Thai is beginner) but we communicate ok.</p>\n<p>However, I was also handed a schedule of about 21 hours total teaching including all the Anuban classes and all the Prathom (30-40 kids). There are the typical Thai education/cultural issues in these classes. Here is where all the main problems are for me at this school: for the prathom classes there\'s no Thai teacher with me despite my limited Thai, so the kids (boys mostly) often take advantage and do their homework for other lessons, muck about, run in and out of the classroom etc.</p>\n<p>In my second week I marched a couple of boys out of the room and told the nearby (on free time) Thai teachers I didn\'t want them in my class. 5 minutes later I went back outside to get them thinking that was enough time for them to stew but these boys had been sent to run round the sports field! I\'ve not officially been given any books or guidance for teaching these other classes, just thrown into the lion\'s den. I try to take it in my stride as it doesn\'t surprise me given what I had read about Thai schooling before I arrived.</p>\n<p>The prathom kids often play dumb when I know for a fact they know I am asking/telling them to sit down. If I say \"nang long\" they\'ll even drop to the floor where they were standing. My co-teacher from the mini-English class is afraid to communicate many of these issues to the boss and I have tried to tell them there are discipline issues but it seems to be falling on deaf ears so I guess I will have to find another way of communicating it.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/flea2.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"200\" />The school hours don\'t compare to what I\'ve seen other teachers talk about on discussion forums. We are supposed to be at school at 7:20 yet stay long after the kids have gone home until 5pm. Tuesday is my day from hell because I have gate duty and am supposed to be there for 6:30 and then I have no free blocks all day. Outside that mini-English room there is no air-con, just a few fans scattered about. In class I have to position myself so the sweat isn\'t dripping onto the students\' books. Sometimes the girls ask permission to leave the classroom and come back with water for me or they fan me with books.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Home is not a home, it is a place to sleep uncomfortably because it is grim and I am also blessed with being a magnet for yuun so I have to clamber under a mozzy net. Obviously there is no western toilet, despite some of the Thais in the village having them themselves. A \'hong nam\' full of mosquitoes with a hose of cold water unless it\'s morning when there is no water at all.<br />My house&nbsp;is right opposite the school, so I am not on school property but&nbsp;the house&nbsp;is owned by the boss -&nbsp;and between the stilts that support the house, the space&nbsp;is used for parking school vehicles&nbsp;and teachers cars.</p>\n<p>The other teachers at the school are quite young -&nbsp;mostly in their early to mid 20s -&nbsp;with a few 30-something anuban teachers. The ones who are genuinely friendly or who try to speak with me at all are in a minority. A Chinese teacher started here&nbsp;two days after me. Her English is advanced level but although she is hugely popular with the other teachers she is not friendly towards me and tends to be quick to be aggressive where everything is apparently my fault. So I avoid contact with her.</p>\n<p>The prathom teachers allow me to eat with them and one of the guys is pretty cool; the anuban teachers mostly gossip about me and overall things are more polite than genuinely friendly wich means I need an outlet... a social life or a&nbsp;place to go. Something to do in the evening.</p>\n<p>Some neighbours have invited me over for food a few times now. They are related to the school management or at least everyone knows everyone else. They do their best to be nice and one in particular is extremely friendly. He&nbsp;invited me to go fishing and hopes to learn English but frankly it\'s hard work because he thinks I will understand his Laos the more he babbles at me. I am told \'teacher ----\' is good with food because I\'ll be sport for anything and have eaten dakkaden, spicy, the lot.</p>\n<p>Learning Thai here is problematic though because outside school depending who I\'m with, they will be speaking Laos, Khmer or Suay as well as Thai so I\'d probably be better off watching Thai TV at home (they previously offered to get me a TV which I turned down but now I wonder if I should have taken them up on it).</p>\n<p>Outside of school I am still \'teacher ----\' and everything I do is known and seen and I feel eyes on me at all times. Now I have the&nbsp;internet my only escape is to escape into the prison of my wooden box and&nbsp;escape&nbsp;to cyberspace. The \'Thai lifestyle\' people talk about for me just&nbsp;isn\'t happening.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/flea3.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"200\" />I figured the ideal solution would be to head off to Bangers once a month so I can escape \'teacher ----\'. Apparently it is sometimes as cheap as 1,000THB to fly from Ubon to Bangkok. I have a friend there. She\'s a nice girl with no tattoos and we like to sit quietly and watch the world go by drinking nam som. Now I have the non-B visa,&nbsp;I texted her to say I would see her soon. Today I checked the airlines and found travelling on Fridays after school it will&nbsp;in reality&nbsp;cost me 4-5k&nbsp;for a return fare from&nbsp;Friday-Sunday. I\'m totally gutted because&nbsp;on my salary when you add up&nbsp;the cost of the&nbsp;bus fare&nbsp;to Ubon and factor in&nbsp;the&nbsp;costs in Bangkok, it doesn\'t seem do-able and I\'m looking at being stuck here until October...</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, I haven\'t signed a contract yet. This is a learning experience for all of us: this is my first Thai school and I\'m their first farang. I\'m a pretty&nbsp;cool-headed kind of guy and the bosses and school here seems ok, it\'s not a hellbitch scenario by any means so the lack of contract so far has been good for me as I\'ve tried to decide what I think about this whole gig.</p>\n<p>It\'s nice to be away from the money-grabbing Bangkok-style Thais but despite my wanting to work more meaningfully with people who could use the help I wonder if heading to&nbsp;Bangkok would be more appropriate or not. I don\'t want to be a quitter and who knows what I might find if I made a change.</p>\n<p>If only some issues at school were not as they are, then life&nbsp;outside school would be more bearable. if only home and social life issues&nbsp;were not as they are, then school would be more bearable. I\'m a hamster on a wheel going round and round. As things stand, there\'s little relief from&nbsp;the general discomfort that I am sure I should not be feeling.</p>\n<p>Although I would be signing a year\'s contract (probably once my work permit gets done) I know this gig is at least a two-year project and it will&nbsp;probably take&nbsp;three years&nbsp;to properly get this place up to speed with it\'s English, not just in terms of language ability of the students but also in the signs,&nbsp;knowing and understanding&nbsp;farang teachers&nbsp;and garnering the ability to&nbsp;attract replacements and get these people on the English-speaking map. As I said, I think&nbsp;this gig&nbsp;might be more ideal for an experienced farang with a Thai partner.</p>\n<p>As the prospect of a monthly escape to Bangkok&nbsp;disappears, I decided to offload this crap here on Ajarn.com and start&nbsp;looking for some perspective. I know some of you will have had all kinds of first teaching gig and first accommodation nightmares -&nbsp;but these things are not the end of the world.</p>\n<p>So should I stay or should I go?</p>\n<p><strong>Fleabag</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/isaantoilet.jpg','2011-07-27 02:51:17',1,'2011-07-27 02:51:17','2011-07-27 17:05:18'),(6010,52,'August 2011','august-2011','Keep track of what\'s available in terms of Thailand TEFL courses','If you are looking for a good deal on a TEFL course in Thailand, you\'ve come to the right place.','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Island TEFL is offering ajarn readers a&nbsp;50% discount on its upcoming TEFL courses on Koh Samui and in&nbsp;Khon Kaen&nbsp;(15th August - 10th September only) with a 100 guaranteed teaching jobs up for grabs.</p>\n<p>Ajarn readers have&nbsp;the opportunity to enroll on its four-week, 120-hour TEFL/TESOL training courses from 15th August - 10th September or 12th September - 8th October in either Bangkok or Koh Samui and have a guaranteed 12 month teaching placement in government schools located throughout Thailand.

Also I would like to state from the outset before the barrage of comments and criticisms come in about this article; many of the points covered and claims made by me refer to the general situation and not specifics. So although there are possible exceptions to any rule, it is unlikely the average newbie to Bangkok or Thailand will have to ever encounter them. However I do&nbsp;accept that I\'m sure a small percentage of readers of Ajarn.com can claim to contradict most of what I say, using the tiny percentage of exceptions to prove their point.</p>\n<p><strong>Myth 1: Thai landlords are immoral, unscrupulous cheats that will always retain your&nbsp;two months deposit.</strong></p>\n<p>This is not true at all, and providing you use a reliable and registered real estate agent like my own company <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv\">EasyHomes</a>&nbsp;to broker a deal for you with a fair and reliable lease agreement, then there should not be an issue.</p>\n<p>Most contracts will allow 45 days for the&nbsp;two months deposit to be repaid, which allows the landlord/landlady time to collect and check all the bills and check any damage to the property or the furniture within.</p>\n<p>In our experience of dealing with hundreds of foreign clients each year, in our&nbsp;six year history I can only recall&nbsp;two incidents where there was a dispute of any magnitude. In both cases all sides backed down once legal proceedings where mentioned and a fair compromise was achieved.</p>\n<p>So although I will not say it is impossible, the chances are much less than 1% that you\'ll have a problem if a reputable and recognized real estate agent is involved, as they will not just source a suitable property for you, but also a suitable professional landlord with whom they will have weight with.</p>\n<p><strong>Myth 2: I can rent a huge property for a few hundred dollars a month right near a BTS or MRT station.</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m sorry this is just not true, in Bangkok you really get what you pay for: if you want new; modern attractive; and within walking distance of a BTS or MRT station for about US$500/month then you are not going to live in a huge palace.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately many new expats come to Bangkok with unrealistic expectations and ideas. Perhaps they\'ve heard a story from a friend who lived in Bangkok 15 years ago, or a friend who lives there now but has not clarified exactly which part of Bangkok he lives.</p>\n<p>It is worth remembering that Bangkok is enormous, and you can travel distances of 30-40Km and still be in &lsquo;Bangkok\'. Just looking a few facts and figures on Bangkok and compare them to London (Europe\'s largest city) and New York the most populous city in the USA. The figures are very compatible and give an idea of the enormity of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>&bull; Size SqKm: London 1 572; Bangkok 1 568; NYC 1 214<br />&bull; Population: London 7.8m; Bangkok 9.1m; NYC 8.2m</p>\n<p>Now using this as relevance you can see all&nbsp;three cities are comparable in both size and population. There is a good chance you have visited or lived in London or NYC before, so you will know how massive, busy and varied these cities can be. This I hope gives you an idea of what you\'re up against when someone says &lsquo;I live in Bangkok\" - It literally could mean hundreds of scenarios.</p>\n<p>I have never been to NYC, but I know from visiting London on a fair few occasions the contrast from one district to the next. It is possible to live relatively cheaply in some parts of London, but is it where you\'d choose to live if you had the option?, or is it even safe? I\'m pretty sure NYC is similar in this respect, certainly Queens, Bronx and Manhattan all offer very different living environments and subsequently living costs, as do Kensington, Dagenham and Hackney in London.</p>\n<p>So you can see how &lsquo;living in Bangkok\' can be portrayed by one person to another or even then misinterpreted by one person to another.</p>\n<p><strong>Myth 3: There are thousands of properties on the market so finding one that suits me and negotiating a big discount should be easy because the owners will be desperate for a tenant.</strong></p>\n<p>This is a very common misconception. Firstly as with &lsquo;Myth 2\' although there are thousands of properties on the market, most would not be appealing to the average expat. Let\'s face it you had a certain standard of living back where you have come from and you are coming to Thailand for a new challenge and hopefully to raise your living standards, why settle for a property that is lower than the standards you are used to at home?</p>\n<p>Secondly, Thais buy properties quite differently than we do in the West. In the West (as we clearly now know) we borrow large amounts of money from banks that often we struggle to pay back or cannot pay back - sub-prime mortgage crisis anyone? - Therefore if we in the West purchase a buy-to-let property, we are very keen to rent it out to repay the mortgage. However Thais predominantly buy all properties in cash, that\'s it, 100% cash down. They have no mortgage, so they have no mortgage payback fears. They are then in a much stronger position to negotiate the contracts and pick and choose their tenants. The last thing they want is to rent a property to a tenant who causes more problems and damage than they are worth. So many Thai landlords will happily allow a property to sit empty for years - I know this seems illogical to us, but it is not to them.</p>\n<p>If they have no mortgage repayments and interest payments to worry about, then why not just sit back and let the property appreciate in value. And perhaps one day it may be useful for one of their family members. Also what else are they going to do with the money? They can\'t invest in foreign countries and markets easily as they are unable to take large sums out of the country. They don\'t want to leave it in the bank with a tiny 1-2% return. And they generally don\'t want to place it on the SET which is very unpredictable. So buying a well located property in Bangkok is a logical investment.</p>\n<p><strong>Myth 4: If I rent an older property I\'ll save money and I could do it up, a bit like a traditional &lsquo;loft space\' in NYC or London.</strong></p>\n<p>Thai structures are not like those in the West, or more precisely older Thai buildings are not like those in the West. There are not great looking warehouses made of solid brick that could be converted into trendy expensive yuppie flats or condos like those in London or NYC. There are not beautiful but dilapidated houses that just need a bit of care and attention like in urban areas of London and NYC. Until about 40 years ago almost all structures were made from wood and so concrete and brick structures are hardly blessed with the architectural beauty of an old Victorian or Georgian building.</p>\n<p>Instead older Thai structures are generally cheaply built, unattractive square blocks built 30-40 years ago that literally just served a purpose. In addition, little to no maintenance work has been performed on them since they were first erected, so don\'t expect to find beautifully maintained quaint traditional housing in Bangkok - it does not exist.</p>\n<p>Basically Thailand did used to build well designed architecturally attractive houses 50 or so years ago out of wood - mainly teak - and these are the ones you see on brochures and tourist websites attracting you to Thailand, however the thought and effort that went into these designs was literally thrown out of the window once concrete arrived in the Kingdom.</p>\n<p>Only now are architects starting to use concrete to build structures with a bit of style and thought. Now modern condos and offices have a degree of modern style and chic about them.</p>\n<p>Also it\'s worth considering that Thailand like most tropical countries has a good degree of large unattractive insects and other vermin. And an older poorly maintained structure is far more likely to attract these creatures.</p>\n<p><strong>Myth 5: If I lived on the outskirts of town I could save money on rent and enjoy the best of both worlds, the big city and the clean rural air.</strong></p>\n<p>Put quite simply if you live on the outskirts of the city you will be confined there on a day to day basis. Given the poor inadequate roadways, metro systems and traffic jams it is simply not practical to commute from the outskirts of Bangkok to the city center&nbsp;five days a week.</p>\n<p>For a start you could easily spend&nbsp;four hours commuting a day, and believe me this would not be a pleasant scenic commute, more one of traveling not much more than walking pace through a city full of cars, buses and trucks.</p>\n<p>Then there is the cost, for what you may save on rent, you\'ll spend and more on travel. The whole operation would be self-destroying.</p>\n<p>And another parameter to think of is, how will you integrate into an expat community? With most expats living in the heart of the city and most expat bars and restaurants in these areas, it would be very difficult for a newcomer to build up a group of friends on the outskirts of town. Yes Thai people are friendly and yes they have very endearing attributes, but with little to no English from most people and not much in common, this novelty will wear thin pretty quickly.</p>\n<p>As mentioned I certainly don\'t claim that the above is 100% fact and cannot be opposed, and yes there will be a few exceptions to the above rules, but the chances of them happening to you are a tiny percentile. Yes you may get very lucky with a property where the landlord drops the rent hugely. Yes you may get very unlucky with an immoral landlord who takes all the deposit and makes life difficult for you, but these two examples could happen in London or NYC too! At the end of the day Bangkok is just another big city like any other.</p>\n</p>','','2011-08-06 02:13:58',1,'2011-08-06 02:13:58','2011-08-06 16:04:59'),(6042,63,'Food, glorious food','food-glorious-food','One of Thailand\'s many conveniences','There are a lot of perks to living and teaching English in Thailand and as someone who likes to eat good food, one of the perks I enjoy the most is delicious home-cooked food being available at your fingertips.','<p>There are a lot of perks to living and teaching English in Thailand and as someone who likes to eat good food, one of the perks I enjoy the most is delicious home-cooked food being available at your fingertips. The streets of Bangkok, and many Thai cities, are teeming with vendors selling a myriad of Thai delicacies, refreshing drinks and a bounty of fresh, ripe fruit and this makes for a very happy English teacher.</p>\n<p>Many apartments here, including my own, don\'t come equipped with kitchen facilities. When I tell friends and family this back home, their reactions usually include a gasp of horror and a fervently asked questions like, \"How do you eat?!\" and \"How do you cook?!\".</p>\n<p>Before coming to Thailand, my reaction to hearing this information would make me feel a bit anxious too, especially since I\'m constantly thinking about what I\'m going to eat for my next meal, but now I just grin and nod, proud of the fact that I can eat delicious food without slaving away in the kitchen.</p>\n<p>The next concern of Westerners is that, surely if I am constantly getting take-away, it must be very expensive! Again, a silly grin crosses my face with the knowledge that most take-away meals off the street cost no more that $1. Meals that cost more than $2 have become expensive treats for me and warrant changing out of my stuffy teaching clothes and putting on a nice shirt and shoes.</p>\n<p>How could this situation get any better? Well, the proximity of all this food! Just a five minute walk down my street and I\'m greeted by the aromas of freshly cooked food and variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from. I simply wake up and take a morning walk in the sun and am able to buy whatever I fancy at that very moment for breakfast, no planning necessary. There is no need to worry about lunch and dinner at that moment; the vendors are always out and even the Bangkok heat can\'t take away from the convenience of ready-made food only being a five minute walk away.</p>\n<p>So, when you are looking for reasons to convince yourself that a move to Thailand is reasonable, don\'t forget about the basic necessity of food! I can\'t think of a better reason to justify moving somewhere than the availability of cheap and delicious food! After a long day at work, in my case teaching a bunch of energetic kindergarteners, there is nothing better than coming home, relaxing and not having to worry about cooking your dinner!</p>\n<p>If you enjoy my ajarn blogs, then feel free to <a href=\"mailto:Jessicawatson14@gmail.com\">e-mail me</a>.

This is probably the one time of year as a teacher I dread the most, even more than the first day back after an exceptionally long break! Why do I dread it so much? Well, the extra work I have to bring home with is irksome, but I also really dislike passing judgment on my young students. No matter the culture, school and grades are synonymous and parents use them as a guide to determine their child\'s intellectual growth; good grades means your child is smart and low grades mean your child is, well...struggling. It\'s a sad black and white view of education for someone, like me, who sees so many shades of grey.</p>\n<p>I teach Pre-School, Kindergarten and Prathom 1, 2 and 3 and while I find it easier to dole out letter grades to my Prathom students, giving A,B,C\'s to my Pre-School and K\'s is much more difficult. How do you grade a 3 year old who is only just learning to speak Thai? The my mind starts to wander and I wonder how the parent\'s will interpret a B or C grade; will they let that affect their child\'s young and still-developing intellect? And personally, I only see my students once a week for 50 minutes and yet the students\' parents, who see them everyday, will judge them based on the letter grade I give them. It\'s a scary thought and once I try not to think about too much or else I won\'t be able to return from the guilt trip!</p>\n<p>This isn\'t just as issue plaguing the Thai education system, it\'s worldwide. I\'m sure we all have memories of getting a low grade in school and being terrified of our parents\' reactions. Don\'t let this deter you from teaching though, you can grade conscientiously without insulting the student\'s personal strengths. Letter grades are so vague and don\'t accurately portray a student\'s performance, so if your school doesn\'t already require it, include a brief comment about the student\'s performance with the letter grade.</p>\n<p>You don\'t have to write a book, but a few sentences exploring the child\'s strengths and weaknesses and their relation to the letter grade should soothe a parent\'s worries about their child. This is especially helpful if the student doesn\'t appear to be progressing but is just very quiet or shy around a foreign teacher. I think a personal comment holds more weight than a letter grade and it is worth the extra effort not only for the student and parent, but also for yourself; you don\'t want to be pinned as a bad teacher because of a student\'s disposition, especially in the case of a shy, quiet Kindergarten student.</p>\n<p>Remember, grades are just a short period of the teaching year and you shouldn\'t have too many sleepless nights over them. All you can do is be confident if what you have taught the student\'s and be mindful of their ages and levels. You know their strengths and you know the letter grade is not a mirror of their abilities. So, continue to teach them how you see fit, encourage them and don\'t get too discouraged by the blank stares of some of your students!</p>\n<p>If you enjoy my ajarn blogs, then feel free to <a href=\"mailto:Jessicawatson14@gmail.com\">e-mail me</a>.

Actually, not just the newbies - even those who have been here a while. Here\'s a list of &nbsp;at least 20. I\'m sure you could add a lot more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Organising a job before you arrive</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You just knew I\'d put this one at the top of the list didn\'t you? So many teachers are disappointed to find out that a job they were offered when they were sitting comfortably&nbsp;back in America (or wherever) has turned out to be nothing like the picture that was painted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps the accommodation isn\'t what they expected. Maybe the school that was advertised as ‘on the outskirts of the city\' is actually twenty kilometers away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nothing - and I mean absolutely nothing - beats looking for a job in Thailand when you are here on the ground and you can see things for yourself. OK, I know it\'s human nature to want the security of a guaranteed teaching position waiting for you when you land. But that doesn\'t automatically mean it\'s a good idea.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Why have you been hired?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>No, seriously. Why has the school employed you? Your answer might be an incredulous \'well, to teach English of course\' - but you might well be wrong.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Have you really been hired to make a difference to the education of your students or have you been hired simply to show up in class and fill a quota?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are you there just to please the fee-paying parents and let them know that the school has a foreign teacher? (in other words you are there purely for show)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are you being expected to re-write an entire syllabus because no one else has the ability to do it? Are you being expected to draw all the rabbits out of your own hat?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Don\'t always tell yourself that you\'ve been hired to do a great job as a teacher because it\'s not always the case. Knowing the real reason could</span><span>&nbsp;save you a lot of grief and maybe even your job or sanity!</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Dating students who are still studying at the school</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Adult students fall in love with adult teachers and vice versa. Let\'s not pretend it doesn\'t happen because it does. I\'m happily married to one of my ex-students and so are countless other teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If your student is no longer studying at the school, then you are free to do as you please but date a student who is still in your class and trouble is never going to be far away. There are numerous legendary stories of teachers (especially male teachers) dating and dumping students, only to find Hell hath no fury like a Thai female scorned.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/your-contributions-always-welcome/\">If you enjoy visiting the ajarn website, we would love your contributions. Here are some of the ways you can get involved</a></h3>\r\n<div>\r\n	<hr>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve heard of teary-eyed students standing up in the middle of class, pointing a finger in the teacher\'s direction and telling the cheating love rat - as well as the rest of the class - what they\'ve got planned. It often involves a pair of rusty garden shears. The stories might well be urban myth but please - don\'t take any chances.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I worked for a private language school years ago who put the following clause in teacher contracts (and I can remember it word for word) \"If you find yourself falling in love with a student, please let us know, and we will do our best to find you alternative employment\".</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was another way of saying \"mess about with the students and your ass is grass\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Looking for the cheapest apartment possible</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two words - false economy. Sure, paying 3,000 baht a month for an apartment will leave you with plenty of disposable income but after you\'ve endured a month of screaming babies, police raids, hoodlums fighting in the car-park and a whole list of social problems caused by low-income earners living five to a room, you\'ll be spending more and more time on outside entertainment to escape all the chaos. And that always costs money.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Take my advice - rent the best possible apartment you can afford. Take a look at the <a href=\"/help-and-guides/articles/the-ajarn.com-guide-to-renting-an-apartment/\">ajarn guide to renting an apartment</a> for more info.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Adopting a casual attitude to interviews</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It might be an interview for a teaching job and it might not be the greatest job in the world, but it\'s still an interview. It\'s still two professional people sitting down together and discussing matters in a professional environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one\'s asking you to wear the navy three piece suit with the gold pocket watch but the employer does want you to walk in the door and be the answer to all their prayers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Be on time. Have all your documentation in a nice folder. Dress smartly. At the end of the day, an interview is still an interview. Treat the meeting with respect - even if you have a dozen other offers in the pipeline.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not learning how to apply for jobs by e-mail</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>So many job-hunters need serious guidance when it comes to applying for a job by e-mail. They will send 10MB of attachments that the employer didn\'t even ask for. The e-mail is often cc\'d to twenty other employers. E-mails are often sent without cover letter so how do employers know which job you are applying for?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Never assume that you know everything when it comes to creating a good impression when you are applying for jobs by e-mail. Most jobseekers could do with a refresher course.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Need more info? Teacher recruiter Chris has put some <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/e-mailing-for-jobs/\">great&nbsp;ideas and advice</a> in this ajarn article.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Relying too much on e-mail communication for your job search</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There probably isn\'t a business&nbsp;day that goes by when I don\'t have to contact a school or employer to tell them to empty or sort out their Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo accounts because their inbox quota&nbsp;has been exceeded - or tell them to check their spam folder to find&nbsp;some past communication.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m constantly amazed by the&nbsp;number of employers who never make regular checks of their spam folder.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In short, Thailand\'s employers have earned themselves a rather poor reputation when it comes to&nbsp;communicating with teachers by&nbsp;e-mail - and I would certainly agree with that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t limit your job hunt to e-mails only!&nbsp;Make phone calls and knock on doors because nothing will ever beat that direct approach.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many a new teacher has become worn out by frustration when employers continually fail to respond to their e-mails. Don\'t be one of them! &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not checking out a school before starting work there</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This one always baffles me. Come on - we\'ve all had interviews in our own countries where the employer or interviewer has said \"let me show you around the place\".</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s all part of the interview procedure. You want to get a feel for the place you\'ll be spending a third of your life in and get an idea of the colleagues you\'ll be working with. You might even be lucky enough to chat to a few of them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You want to garner first hand how the place is run and most importantly, whether you will be a good fit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So why do we constantly hear about unhappy teachers who agree to start a job, sign a contract and then don\'t set eyes on the school until the agent takes them there on the first morning. That\'s just insane!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not charging private students in advance</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teachers who have decided to supplement their income by offering private lessons have learned the hard way. If you don\'t charge private students in advance, then your ‘business\' is dead in the water.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you think Thai students won\'t call you up ten minutes before the lesson is scheduled to start and give you some flimsy reason why they can\'t make it, then think again. It\'s happened to all of us.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Get students to pay for ten hours in advance. Tell them that any cancellations must be made the day before the lesson. Come up with whatever system suits you best - but be sure to come up with one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you fancy going down the freelance teaching route, then our <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/freelance-teaching/\">freelance teaching article</a> is well worth a look.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Thinking that you are going to change the world</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t know why but from experience, this seems to affect female teachers more than males.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve seen many a weary soul slam the teachers room door, bury their head in their hands after a lesson and ask why none of the students seem to be progressing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can lead a horse to water but it won\'t always drink. Some students want to learn and others don\'t.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Accept that you aren\'t going to change the world. As long as you do your best and you make the effort, then no one can ask any more of you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Planning a whole lesson based around last night\'s homework assignment</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You probably had an extra ten minutes in bed on the strength of it. Yesterday you assigned the class some homework and today\'s lesson will be spent checking it. What could be simpler?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wrong. Half of the class hasn\'t done it and all you can see is a sign that says ‘this way to Shit Creek\'.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the wonderful world of lesson preparation, a good teacher always has a plan B.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not laying down the law from day one</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is about giving students a set of rules on the first day of class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Telling them when they can use mobile phones. Telling them what you expect from them in terms of assignments, etc, etc. And it doesn\'t end there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s also about letting the school staff know that you\'ll work hard for them but you are not willing to be owned by them. Sometimes you\'ll say ‘yes\' and other times you\'ll say ‘no\'. It\'s all about finding a happy medium.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You don\'t mind giving up the occasional Saturday to help run a school sports day but you do object to being given less than 24 hours notice. So best to say&nbsp;\'no can do\' - because you\'ve already made plans. Lay the law down from day one. By all means be reasonable -&nbsp;but that doesn\'t mean you have to&nbsp;live life as&nbsp;a ‘yes man\'.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not saving enough money for those first few months</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>New arrivals often ask the question ‘how much money do I need to bring?\' and the straight answer is ‘as much as possible\'.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It could be several weeks until you find your dream teaching job and in that time there are apartment deposits to pay and all sorts of everyday living costs to factor in. Oh, and don\'t forget it could be a month on the job before you receive your first pay packet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Landing in a foreign country with 500 dollars in your pocket might well be considered ‘living life on the edge\' but it\'s also reckless and stupid. Want to get an idea of what things are likely to cost? It\'s all in the <a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living/\">ajarn cost of living section</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not researching Thailand\'s visa regulations</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If there is a country with a more complex set of visa rules and regulations than Thailand, then I\'m yet to hear of it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t be the teacher who gets caught out at the border because you didn\'t understand how a particular visa works. Don\'t be the teacher who relies on the Thai admin staff to tell you how many days you are allowed to stay in the country on such and such a visa.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s your passport. It\'s your visa. They are your responsibility.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There\'s a wealth of info on the internet regarding Thai visas but it\'s always best to go and speak to an officer at immigration than rely on Facebook opinions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Make sure you know how the system works (as best you can) and what the particular visa you hold entitles you to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Believing a couple of negative reviews</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the great disadvantages of the internet is that any Tom, Dick and Harry can sign up to a discussion forum or chat board and stick the virtual boot into any institution.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But always keep in mind that bad news travels faster than good. Just because a school has received a couple of bad reviews doesn\'t necessarily mean it\'s a terrible school to work for.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, sometimes there\'s no smoke without fire, and if a school gets blasted on several different forums, then you would be wise to approach with a degree of caution, however, there are a lot of disgruntled employees with an axe to grind.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes the complaints are justified but very often they are the opinions of a person who wouldn\'t fit in anywhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Spending too much time in the company of teachers room moaners</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every teacher\'s room has one. Some staff rooms have several. They are the ‘resident moaner\' and spend too much time in their company and their negativity is sure to rub off on you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All Thai kids are stupid. Teaching is a job for losers. The academic director is useless. Why is my pay always late? - the list of gripes is never-ending. You\'re left wondering how the guy has managed to live here so long. Truth is he doesn\'t know the answer himself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Distance yourself from these people and you\'ll enjoy your time in Thailand far more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not preparing lessons</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fail to prepare. Prepare to fail. Students can spot an unprepared teacher a mile off.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t be one those teachers who thinks it\'s clever to&nbsp;give lesson prep a wide berth and mistakenly believes they can wing it with free conversation (which rarely / never works anyway)</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Doing ‘too much\' research</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do I turn left or do I turn right after I go through Bangkok Airport customs? Which taxis do I need for the journey into the city - the yellow and green ones or the pink and blue ones? What happens if I take the wrong color and end up wandering around naked on a piece of wasteland in Nonthaburi?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Quit worrying and go with the flow. Thailand is a go-with-the-flow country. There\'s very little structure to anything. Accept the fact that you will make mistakes and that you will learn from the experiences. There\'s nothing at all wrong with a reasonable amount of research, but if you over-prepare, then you are putting too much pressure on yourself and setting yourself up for failures.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Thinking that the TEFL jobs advertised on the web are all that\'s available</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I like to think that ajarn.com has the best selection of currently available TEFL positions in Thailand but it\'s by no means the be all and end all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There\'s an old saying that the best jobs never get advertised and teaching jobs are no different.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Who knows what gems you might unearth by simply enquiring at the school admin office or making a speculative phone call? There\'s a school near my house that\'s had a ‘teachers wanted\' sign hanging on the school gate for months. They\'ve probably never heard of ajarn.com either.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Confusing a vacation with actually working here</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You aren\'t the first person to fall in love with Thailand because you spent an amazing fortnight here - and you won\'t be the last.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cocktails by the poolside, foot massages on the beach, your spending money burning hole in your back pocket and your every whim catered for. Is there a greater place on earth than Thailand in which to be pampered as a tourist?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But be warned - it\'s a world far removed from waiting for crowded buses in the rainy season, arguing with a landlord who won\'t return your rental deposit and an employer telling you he doesn\'t have enough money to cover this month\'s salaries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you start working here, that\'s when you\'ll discover what Thailand can be all about. Most long-term teachers will tell you that the pros far outweigh the cons. They are probably right - but recognize the fact there are plenty of downsides.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Allowing students access to your Facebook page</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I know, I\'ll allow the students access to my Facebook page. What a great idea! What better way for them to practice their English writing and conversation skills and have fun at the same time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Trust me - it will all end in tears. Your old pals Macca and Big Dave back in Liverpool probably had a great laugh at the photo of you and the lads mooning the photographer in the middle of a hill-tribe village. Not to mention the one of you passed out on the toilet floor at the end of last year\'s Christmas party. But are the students going to share&nbsp;your sense of humor?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do everyone a favor and keep your private life private - and that includes Facebook.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Not learning the basic aspects of Thai culture</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I watched a TV program recently featuring the world-famous TV chef Gordon Ramsey, who was travelling around SE Asia honing his culinary skills. When he got to Bangkok, he was invited to one of the most popular street-food stalls in the city so our Gordon jumps into a tuk-tuk, and what is the first thing he does? He rests his feet on the metal frame directly behind the driver\'s head. I could barely watch.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Familiarize yourself with at least the very basics of the Thai culture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve seen many a new teacher get into hot water for discussing sensitive issues in class or pushing those cultural boundaries too early in the relationship. Don\'t get paranoid about it - just be aware.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Panicking when a student asks what a separable phrasal verb is</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do you really need to know what a compound noun is? Do you need to know whether a certain verb is followed by the gerund or the infinitive form? The answer is ‘yes, because you are an English teacher\'. English teachers know this stuff.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you don\'t know your basic grammar structures now, grab a copy of the best grammar reference book you can find and read it cover to cover.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But be comforted by the fact that you will never know everything and one day, when you least expect it, the brightest student in the class will ask you a grammar question that no one could possibly answer. Now is not the time to panic. Tell the student that you are not sure of the answer but you will find out and get back to them (and make sure you do) Job done!</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/mistakes-that-long-term-teachers-make-in-thailand\">Mistakes that long term teachers make in Thailand - What do the old hands often do wrong?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/school1.jpg','2018-11-18 02:46:00',1,'2018-02-27 02:46:05','2018-11-18 15:53:52'),(6094,59,'The road less travelled','the-road-less-travelled','What is the real essence of happiness?','One Filipino teacher from Chulalongkorn University Nonthaburi English Project told me that his mother adopted two street kids in the Philippines.

Is it earning a big income as an ESL/TEFL teacher in Thailand? Is it having a lot of Thai friends, owning a brand new cell phone, using the latest brand of notebook, having an Ipod worthy of envy by friends? Is it working in a school with the best director, amiable co-teachers, and talented students?<br /><br />I met a Filipino teacher in a fast food restaurant&nbsp;in Lat Phrao. He was dining with a seven-year old Thai boy. In my curiosity, I asked, \"Is he your son?\" He answered, \"No.\" I asked further, \"How come he is with you?\" With a smile in his face he narrated, \"It\'s a long story... I help him because he is an illegitimate child.He lives with his mother, but his mother works only in a recycling plant. I take him out on weekends and make him enjoy life with me as his surrogate father. He has been happy for 3 years now. In fact, he gets \"4\'s\" in his English subject each term.\"<br /><br />It\'s remarkable for this&nbsp;ajarn to make one soul in this world happy.\n<p>I have also a retired American friend. He was an international school teacher and has lived in Thailand for 35 years now. He is one person who has made a difference in many people\'s lives. In fact, he sponsored scholarships to&nbsp;four of my former students and&nbsp;twelve other scholars who are children of migrant workers from the Northeast provinces of Thailand. Likewise, he donated a high quality sound system and took the responsibility of airconditioning our new library. When asked why he does this, he said, \"It gives me joy to help those less fortunate than myself.\"<br /><br />At present, he volunteers to help in the English Club of that school. Besides from his philanthropic heart, he is also loyal to his friends, especially to his friend in a wheelchair.<br /><br />One Filipino teacher from Chulalongkorn University Nonthaburi English Project told me that his mother adopted&nbsp;two street kids in the Philippines. The mother sends the kids to school and provides them their daily needs. What a way of attaining happiness!<br /><br />I believe a generous heart is common to ajarn, my American friend, and the Filipina mother. They make other people happy besides from their own families. As David Dunn would put it, \"they have done the responsibility to give joy to others and have accepted the challenge to bear each man\'s grief as their own.\"<br /><br />Yes, when we think of happiness, it is giving unconditionally. You and I know of the greatest giver who died for all of us. Can we follow Him and share His Love with others? But, we don\'t have to die this way, do we? One classic example of genuine happiness is portrayed in the movie, \"Pay it Forward.\" It is an old movie, but it is relevant to all generations.It\"s about an intelligent 11-year old boy who changes&nbsp;three people in his life - a stranger, his teacher, and his own mother. This is how he understands his Social Studies homework, \"How to change the world in making a difference...\"<br /><br />It really gives us the inspiration to know that a number of people these days take the road less traveled.

All I had to do was fly to the other side of the world and now I have a job that doesn\'t require me to work slavishly for all but a few weeks out of the year. Anyone who thinks working non-stop for a two week vacation a year is a sustainable lifestyle hasn\'t experienced a two month paid vacation backpacking through Southeast Asia or not feeling like you are wasting precious free-time by hanging out in your pajamas all day.</p>\n<p>In my one year of teaching English in Thailand, I have had almost a total of three months paid vacation. Two of those months I was only given a reduced pay, but I have heard of many jobs that give full pay, and even with my reduced pay my lifestyle and traveling has not suffered. This is certainly one big reason why I enjoy teaching abroad because it allows me to fulfill my insatiable desire to travel in a way that no job available to me back home could.</p>\n<p>Since this is my first time in Asia, I have spent a lot of time exploring my current country of residence Thailand and the nearby countries of Cambodia and Vietnam. Long weekends are a great opportunity for me to get out of Bangkok and visit more rural areas off the beaten track and my fifteen break at Christmas was spent first on the tropical paradise of Koh Samet and then driving around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai provinces in the mountainous North. And my big two and a half month break was spent exploring every corner of Cambodia from North to South and traveling up the entire length of Vietnam from Saigon to Ha Noi. Traveling is how I like to spend most of my vacations, but I also spent some of my vacation in my apartment in Bangkok relaxing and relishing the freedom of having no work schedule.</p>\n<p>There is no reason to break your back working at a job that you don\'t enjoy and that gives you an appalling amount of vacation time!

It\'s always a big decision because neither of us feels that travelling in Thailand offers particularly good value for money, Frankly, we\'d rather put the extra cash towards a holiday further afield. But with August being very much low season in Thailand and with both of us in need of a break, the time definitely felt right.\n<p>For Bangkokians looking for a few days away at a beach resort but not wishing to mess around with airport departure lounges or long train journeys, the choice generally comes down to either Pattaya or Hua Hin. Both resorts are easily reached in a few hours by car so it\'s a case of flip a coin, plonk an armful of clothes in the trunk and off you go. Having done Pattaya fairly recently, Hua Hin got the winning vote and we set off early doors to make the most of a four-day vacation.</p>\n<p>After spending hours trawling through numerous booking and hotel review websites, we settled for three nights at the <a href=\"http://www.resortdepaskani.com/th/default.html\">Resort de Paskani in Khao Takiab</a>. It described itself as a quirky Greek-style boutique hotel located right on the beach. It sounded perfect. It can sometimes be tough to find good accommodation in the mid-price range. I\'m far too old and grouchy for beach bungalows with torn mosquito nights and temperamental power supplies and I\'m not always in the mood for a 5-star chain and the sterile experience of piped music in the lobby, clicking doormen and orchids on my pillow.</p>\n<p>I\'m pleased to report that the Resort de Paskani was superb in almost every way. It was refreshing to see that money was obviously being re-invested into the business. The garden plants looked cared for, the rooms and pool were spotlessly clean and the staff had clearly had something that resembled training. It all made a nice change from the typical scenario of someone opening a business, putting enticing photographs on a website - and then creaming off the profit and standing back as the whole venture goes rapidly downhill.</p>\n<p>Oh, and there were no children there either. That alone is worth a star rating or two in my book. No one started bawling because Mommy hadn\'t put enough air in their swimming aid and no one dribbled snot and saliva because they\'d got wet sand in their swimming shorts. There was just us and a few mature Thai couples, exchanging secret agent style nods at breakfast, and thankfully leaving it at that as far as communication and pleasantries were concerned.</p>\n<p>Khao Takiab is actually a small, peaceful resort a few miles south of Hua Hin. Outside of the larger hotels, there are no restaurants or dining experiences to speak of and only a handful of bars open up in the evening to try and lure what few tourists there are. Back in the early 90\'s - when I lived in Hua Hin for several months - I saw the foundations and infrastructure of Khao Takiab take shape. Twenty years later, not a fat lot has been done. It\'s still just a typical Thai street lined with mom and pop shops, beauty salons and the odd guest house. In the middle of a hot, low-season afternoon, there was barely a soul around.</p>\n<p>On our first afternoon, shortly after checking in, we walked the shoreline up to the Khao Takiab temple, or &lsquo;monkey mountain\' as it\'s often called. I\'ve been up to the temple several times before accompanied by various friends and family members and also run the gauntlet of the scary, aggressive monkeys. The holidaymaker reviews on Trip Advisor document people\'s experiences and give you a flavor of what you might be in for.</p>\n<p>\"Nice temple but watch out for the monkeys\", sits alongside \"those bastard apes nicked my brand new camcorder\".</p>\n<p>I can certainly sympathize because I also learned the hard way. I once made the mistake of buying a large bunch of bananas from the kindly old nun who takes care of the souvenir shop at the foot of the mountain. I envisaged carrying the bananas up the hill and breaking them off the bunch one by one and making a few friends en route. It didn\'t work out that way at all. The largest, most fearsome monkey with the reddest arse, jumped me from behind and mugged me in broad daylight. Truth be told - I\'m still traumatized.</p>\n<p>Determined to avoid a repeat of the incident, we stayed on the beach and watched the monkeys from a safer distance. A local beach bar had set up half a dozen sun-loungers and umbrellas, available for 50 baht a day provided you order food and drink from the bar itself. I was surprised to discover that the whole operation was managed by a young man from Essex. Recognizing my accent, we got chatting about life back home and the recent riots in London and a few other major English cities. Eventually I asked him what people did for entertainment in Khao Takiab. He smirked and said \"people either sleep or die\". I guess he meant that if I was looking to dress up for dinner and a show, Khao Takiab was unlikely to tick any boxes.</p>\n<p>That night we caught a songthaew to The Cicada Market, halfway between Khao Takiab and Hiua Hin. The Cicada has become one of the most popular attractions in the area for both tourists and locals alike. I rarely get excited at the thought of a local Thai market, but I have to say this one was well worth a visit. Plenty of trendy goods, fashionable clothes and artwork for sale and a quality open-air food court, dishing up Thai cuisine and international dishes to a curious mix of retired expats, families on vacation and well-heeled Thais, all enjoying a pleasant night out. In fact the market was so good, we went twice.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest downsides though to holidaying in Hua Hin and its environs is the extortionate cost of public transportation. After a few hours spent browsing at the market, we approached a long line of songthaew drivers, all standing around chatting and smoking and clearly without any business, and asked them to take us the two kilometers back to our digs. Not one driver would entertain the idea for less than a hundred baht - a fare that would cost no more than half that in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Feeling tired and in no mood for long, protracted negotiations, we reluctantly jumped in the back of a vehicle and my wife proceeded to give the driver an earful for the entire five-minute journey. She banged on about being charged &lsquo;a farang rate\' but I could see the driver had heard it all before. Back in Bangkok, I had been on the official Khao Takiab website and the webmaster had laid it out clearly - bargaining fares with taxi drivers is futile. The drivers would rather refuse than accept a reduced rate. There\'s always going to be a gullible tourist along in ten minutes.</p>\n<p>At breakfast the following day, I asked the Thai staff at the hotel how much they would pay to hire transportation, and I was reassured to hear that they would have had to pay the same. It was clear from their tone of voice that the locals felt they were getting ripped off just as much as the foreigners did.</p>\n<p>It had been our intention to lock the car in the hotel parking lot for the entire holiday. I always feel that a good vacation should include as little driving as possible, but the following night, after our experience at the market, my wife was adamant that we take the car into Hua Hin instead of flagging down a vehicle by the roadside - and paying someone half a month\'s salary for the pleasure.</p>\n<p>I hadn\'t been in Hua Hin for about four years, but it had changed very little. Walking around and doing the usual semi-circular route down the beach road, then left along the main tourist &lsquo;walking street\' past all the restaurants and then left again and back up to the main road and the night market, I was struck by how tired it all looked. Hua Hin - or at least the shopping areas - is an endless stream of tailors shops and optical retailers. I don\'t know if the good folk of Hua Hin have the worst eyesight compared to those in any other town in Thailand, but they\'ve certainly got a lot of optician shops. I have never seen so many in one place.</p>\n<p>We had a brief stroll around the night market but it was as dull and uninspiring as ever. There was the same woman making crepes with fifty different types of filling. There was the same guy selling pirated DVDs shot from the back of a movie theater. And there was the same vendor flogging key-chains and lighters that flash and bleep in twenty different colors. It\'s a market caught in a time warp. Add to that hundreds of slow-moving tourists all jostling for space on a humid evening. Hua Hin night market never fails to put me in an irritable frame of mind. Then it started to rain heavily. I began to wonder if there were worst places to be on a Saturday night but none sprang instantly to mind.</p>\n<p>There were plenty of stray dogs though. Hua Hin has had a problem with stray dogs for as long as I can remember. Thinking back to the time I spent there in the early 90\'s. I wouldn\'t mind a dollar for every time I was chased back to my room in the early hours of the morning by a pack of barking, three-legged mutts or ridden a motorcycle and had them snapping at my heels. In those days almost every local resident carried a small pocket sling-shot so they could fire a handful of gravel at a moment\'s notice and scare the dogs away. I\'d wager they still do.</p>\n<p>We returned to Hua Hin the following morning in search of a livelier section of beach (compared to Khao Takiab) and somewhere where we could do some people-watching and maybe interact with the odd beach vendor. Things have changed big-time down the years on Hua Hin\'s main beach. In the past, anybody could set up a beach business with a few weather-beaten sun-loungers and tatty parasols and run backwards and forwards serving tourists with drinks, buckets of ice and plates of overpriced crabs legs, but nowadays it\'s the five-star hotels - the ones located on the beach itself - that have all the power. They\'ve ordered the ragamuffin beach businesses to sling their hook and they\'ve muscled in on the territory. The hotels have told all and sundry that if anyone\'s going to make money out of a stretch of beach, slap bang in front of the hotel, then it\'s going to be them - and them only.</p>\n<p>We walked just a few hundred meters down the beach and were greeted by a Burmese chap in well-laundered white shorts and t-shirt - obviously a hotel employee entrusted with the task of managing the hotel\'s very own stretch of sand. He gestured towards a neat row of sun-loungers, all covered in brilliant white towels, and pointed to a sign that said \"loungers 150 baht a day including one free drink\" The last time I sunbathed on Hua Hin beach I distinctly remember paying ten baht but if that\'s inflation for you, then so be it.</p>\n<p>\"Are you looking for a couple of sun-loungers folks? It\'s 150 baht a day and that includes one free drink up to the value of 40 baht. You also get free use of the hotel toilet and showers\"</p>\n<p>I just can\'t resist a bargain. We threw our beach bags on to a couple of sun-beds and settled in for the morning. The Burmese guy went to fetch some menus so we could select our free drinks. I ordered a tonic water and my wife went for a small bottle of Sprite. When he returned with the drinks, he asked if we could settle up in advance - and handed me a bill for 320 baht. I reached for the drinks menu and saw that the only drink available &lsquo;up to the value of 40 baht\' was bottled drinking water. Any other drink - Sprite, Coke, tonic water, etc - was priced at 50-60 baht or more.</p>\n<p>There was clearly something amiss. The hotel hadn\'t thought the system through carefully enough. No, let me qualify that - they hadn\'t thought it through at all. The sign that was pointed out to us needed to be changed so it read \"150 baht a day including one free drink (provided that you choose bottled water)\"</p>\n<p>I passed up the opportunity to go and have a slanging match with the hotel manager and took it out on my wife instead. I mean, well, really.</p>\n<p>Our long weekend over, we checked out of our boutique hotel, thanked the staff for such a wonderful stay, shook the hands and paws of the friends we\'d made, and headed back to Bangkok. But not of course without a stop-off and slight detour to Cha\'am.</p>\n<p>Cha\'am is another beach resort just off the Bangkok- Hua Hin highway and you couldn\'t find a greater contrast between two seaside towns. Cha\'am is Hua Hin\'s ginger stepson. It\'s club-footed sister-in-law. They might be neighbors but Hua Hin is the happy guy who chats over the fence and lends you his garden tools, whereas Cha\'am is the sinister bloke with the lazy eye and a secret cellar. But in fact there are two sides to Cha\'am - weekend Cha\'am and weekday Cha\'am.</p>\n<p>Weekend Cha\'am is the unbearable din of jet-ski engines and tinny car stereos. But once the weekenders are safely back at work, a calm and tranquility descends on the resort and it becomes a virtual ghost town. Vendors outnumber beachgoers three to one, the tandem bicycles for hire are padlocked out of sight and restaurants and guest houses stand empty and forlorn. You can almost hear the sound of the waves. That\'s the Cha\'am I always enjoy.</p>\n</p>','','2011-08-29 00:58:15',1,'2011-08-29 00:58:15','2011-08-29 15:03:16'),(6226,52,'September 2011','september-2011','All the news and promotions from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','In this month\'s TEFL course and training news blog, we\'ve got the opportunity for you to get 50% off courses starting in early 2012 and also the possibility of studying for an MA in teaching English to young learners.','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Island TEFL is offering ajarn readers a 50% discount on upcoming TEFL courses in Bangkok, Khon Kaen, Koh Samui and Phuket.

Would you pick up the hat? Would you rather ignore it for it was inexpensive? Guess what I did? I ignored it. But to my surprise, a woman in jeans and helmet (not a motorcycle driver) handed me my hat.</p>\n<p>Incidentallly, two weeks before that, I was carrying my lap top and a bag of laundry on my right shoulder when my bag of clothes slipped. I stopped the motorcycle driver. When I got off, a man from a motorcycle handed me my bag.</p>\n<p>How touched I was by these incidents.</p>\n<p>But what happened last November has given me the impression that there are a lot of good samaritans in Thailand. I was going to Chiangmai to report for work. I booked for the 10:10 pm train trip to Changmai from Laksi Station. An hour before that, I was already at the station. But when departure time came, no train had come. I asked from the information but I was told to wait for it was delayed. I think I waited for exactly an hour when a train finally showed up.</p>\n<p>I immediately got into the train. I looked for my seat but one good Thai man politely remarked, \"Mai pen lai kap.\" So I settled on a nearest vacant seat. Feeling exhausted that day, I&nbsp;fell to sleep. When I woke up it was already 7:00 o\'clock in the morning. I looked outside. The place looked unfamiliar for this was my second trip to Chiangmai via train. A young Thai lady was already seated next to me. So I asked,\"Pai nai kap?\" She answered. \"Pai Nongkai Ka\". \"Oh, my God,\" I exclaimed. \"I got the wrong train.\" Right away, I stood up and looked for somebody who could speak English. Luckily I found one. The saying, \"Seek and ye shall find,\" worked this time. He told me not to worry because we would be in Kon Khaen in an hour. From there I could get a bus for Chiangmai.</p>\n<p>I took his advice. Unfortunately, when the bus was nearing Sukhothai, my stomach started to grumble. The only solution was to relieve myself. Thus upon reaching the bus station, I proceeded to the toilet. I was so certain I didn\'t stay long but when I got out, my bus had gone. I was terribly worried as all my possessions -&nbsp;my money, passport, lap top, and everything I had - was on that bus.</p>\n<p>I went to information right away. They calmed me down saying that I could get my things in Chiangmai. I was&nbsp;relieved but still very anxious. Imagine, I had to wait for&nbsp;two hours before the next trip was off to Chiangmai. I was anxious for it would be 8 hours before I could determine the safety of my valuables.</p>\n<p>In Chiangmai Station, buses that already arrived for hours were out of sight. I went around the whole station and its vicinity looking for my bus, but I failed. Thanks to one kind motorcycle driver who offered help for a hundred baht .We went from one gasoline station to another. I thought he was only fooling me just to earn money, but I was wrong. On the 5th station I saw my bus being washed. The conductor asked, \" Pai ti nai kap?\" Without hesitation he got on the bus and came back with my bags. I quickly checked my valuables like an &lsquo;eager beaver\' Wonder of wonders, my things were untouched. I was very much relieved I had my things back. I couldn\'t help but exclaim, \"This is really Thailand.\"</p>\n<p>My story has not ended yet. For it was already past midnight, I hired the same motorcycle driver to take me to Hangdong about 10-12 kilometers away from the bus station. When I arrived at my school, the gate was locked.&nbsp;The compound is&nbsp;20 hectares in size. There was no doorbell. I had to knock hard several times as if I were&nbsp;taking out&nbsp;my anger on the gate for my delay and inconvenience. Nobody answered. Finally I gave up and went to the nearby \"talat\" to pass the night.</p>\n<p>While waiting for just a few moments, an 18 year old boy came and offered help like heaven sent. That time I forgot being cautious perhaps due to exhaustion and relapse from intense worry. I never thought that I could be robbed, mauled or left for&nbsp;dead. After all I was a stranger. At first I was hesitant but I accepted. So I rode with him on his motorcycle and slept in his house. Thank you&nbsp;to this good Samaritan.</p>\n<p>The next morning, he drove me to school in his car.</p>\n<p>Through these experiences, I learned that there are a lot of good Samaritans in this country. But in every rule there is always an exception. So I have to be more careful with my things next time. There won\'t be a second time will there? More importantly, I must take care of my passport. I don\'t have the money to get another one, do I? Secondly, wherever I go, I should always bring my ATM with me.</p>\n<p>When riding public buses&nbsp;for long distance trips, during stopovers, I\'ll be more conscious of time. I will tell my seatmate or neighbor where I am going. Better still, I\'ll ask permission from the conductor or the driver. Bus tickets are important too. I must keep them safe&nbsp;while I\'m on the bus. For my own benefit, I should know my bus and bus number. Lastly, before my trip, I\'ll have my phone fully charged. I\'ll try to minimize unimportant calls during my trip and save my&nbsp;battery for emergencies.</p>\n<p>There are good foreign Samaritans everywhere, but there are even more in this country. This gives us the&nbsp;desire to stay here and call it a home away from home.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n</p>','','2011-09-06 18:48:44',1,'2011-09-06 18:48:44','2011-09-07 08:08:45'),(6258,108,'How did they know?','how-did-they-know','When hospitals sharing information can prove costly','Recently, someone sent me an e-mail asking me if health insurance companies and hospitals in Thailand share information among themselves without permission from the patient.','<p></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Recently, someone sent me an e-mail asking me if <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>health insurance companies</span></a> and hospitals in Thailand share information among themselves without permission from the patient.

What really bothered him, though, was \"How did they know?!\" How did they obtain that information?</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At the time that he had received the \"misdiagnosis\" from the hospital he was insured with and another Thai based health insurer. This insurance company cancelled his insurance coverage \"due to the hospital\'s misdiagnosis\". The doctor reported that he had high blood pressure and hepatitis. This wasn\'t what he had been admitted to the hospital and treated for, though. He told me in his letter, with absolute certainty, that he does not have high blood pressure or hepatitis. BUT, he admits that he does suffer from what is known as \"white coat blood pressure syndrome\".</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>He says that his blood pressure dropped back down to normal after resting in his room.

When you see a medical professional (getting ready to take your blood pressure) your blood pressure jumps up. But, this doesn\'t happen to most people.

It is always exciting to have an agreement for publication for a writing project and poverty reduction is a topic I am passionate about. While acknowledging money in itself does not automatically buy happiness, poverty, real absolute below-a-dollar-a-day-in-income poverty, is usually accompanied by misery and unhappiness.\n<p>\"Poverty doesn\'t only condemn humans to lives of difficulty and unhappiness; it can expose them to life threatening dangers. Because poverty denies people any semblance of control over their destiny, it is the ultimate denial of human rights\" (Yunus and Weber, 2007, p 104).</p>\n<p>It would appear trying to do one\'s small part in working to reduce the impact of poverty, real absolute poverty as opposed to just relative poverty, on the lives of individuals would be a worthy use of one\'s time and energies. Do ESL and English teachers in Thailand and other developing economies have a role to play in global poverty reduction?</p>\n<p>Research consistently has shown a strong correlation between poverty reduction and the amount of openness to international trade and integration an individual economy has with the world\'s economy. China and Vietnam\'s experience of opening their economies and encouraging foreign investment has gone hand-in-hand with the most impressive records of poverty reduction the world has ever seen. On the other hand closing off an economy from international trade and investment has a very poor track record and seems to be associated with increased incidents of poverty as the economies of Zimbabwe, Myanmar-Burma and North Korea have shown. Most of the poorest areas of the world are not being exploited by private enterprises; instead these areas are mostly being ignored.</p>\n<p>ESL and other English teachers working in developing economies have an important role to play in creating conditions which facilitate international trade and connectivity which has an indirect, but important, impact on economic growth which is the most important factor in reducing poverty. As English has become the lingua franca of international commerce, for economic growth it is important for a country to have human bridges who can work across cultural and linguistic borders, and ESL and other English teachers have an important role in developing these human bridges.</p>\n<p>An individual teaching English in a developing economy can have a profound and direct impact on the lives of the students that individual is teaching, but this teacher can also have a small and indirect impact on reducing global poverty through providing the skills a nation needs to integrate internationally. There are many jobs a person can have which can make the individual feel good about his or her contribution to our global society, teaching English in a developing country is one of those jobs.</p>\n<p>Reference</p>\n</p>\n<p>Yunus, M. and Weber, K.

Not because of anything I do. I show up on time; I wear the right clothes; I\'m polite; I listen and I ask the right questions. But when it comes to the interview and meeting other people in this industry, whether fellow teachers, administrators, principals, or directors, the ‘niceties\' stop at my cover-letter.','<p>I had a job interview recently at what seemed to be a really good international school here in Phnom Penh. The principal was looking for a grade three teacher. The hours were great; 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Work ten months a year and get paid for twelve sounded good too, and although the pay was far below what I was getting teaching with EPIK in Korea, (about $1,100.00 a month), I would have taken the job in a heartbeat: That is, if it was truly offered to me. But it wasn\'t. And I truly was disappointed.\n<p>To be honest, I really dislike job interviews. Not because of anything I do. I show up on time; I wear the right clothes; I\'m polite; I listen and I ask the right questions. Before the interview I sent a well-written cover letter outlining and clearly stating my past experience, educational goals, and teaching philosophy, my resume, and a recent photograph. In both my resume and cover letter I also state my mission statement: \"To make a positive difference in the lives of my students\"; and my vision statement: \"To leave a positive and lasting legacy.\" I also say that to do this, a teacher must do two things:</p>\n<p>1) Marry the school syllabus with the national curriculum; and<br />2) Go beyond the syllabus and curriculum into the inner lives of each student.</p>\n<p>All in all, it\'s a very positive cover letter which can, and at times does, get \"my foot in the door.\" But when it comes to the interview and meeting other people in this industry, whether fellow teachers, administrators, principals, or directors, the &lsquo;niceties\' stop at my cover-letter. Perhaps that has been my downfall. Perhaps that\'s the main reason why I\'m not getting as far as I would like to. I don\'t schmooze. I don\'t socialize. I don\'t kiss ass. In an industry that celebrates the sycophant, in an industry that seeks out those willing to maintain the status quo of educational mediocrity, in an industry that begs for... lives for... and dies for schmoozer\'s and ass-kissers, I\'m nowhere to be found.</p>\n<p>Well, to be honest, on weekends you can find me holed up in my room reading books and watching Desperate Housewives. And I have been known to enjoy the occasional buffet and Korean meal, but as far as &lsquo;shooting the bull\' or &lsquo;chewing the cud\' with my fellow TEFL\'ers, I haven\'t done that in years. So until that happens, it is highly unlikely that in an industry that, with few exceptions, puts personality above professionalism, I will get anywhere. So yes, I do have faults; and not playing by the rules is one of them.</p>\n<p>So yes, I really don\'t like job interviews; especially in this industry. And I\'m sure that those doing the interviewing are, at times, not too crazy about the idea of speaking to countless teachers either. The interviewers will tell you, (and I\'ve heard it from a few), that they run the gamut between professionals to semi-professionals to backpackers to long-haired freaky people in shorts and sandals. I have horror stories too. I have blogged about it in the past. I have shown up at interviews in Thailand only to have the interviewer call me by another name. \"Oh hello, are you Michael from England?\" I have had an interviewer misplace my resume and then tell me to recite it from memory line-by-line. I\'ve had interviews where the interviewer, both foreigner and locals, were so disorganized, it seemed something out of a sit-com if it weren\'t so tragic. I\'ve had an interviewer accuse me of being in Thailand for the nightlife and the prostitutes. So the revolving door in this industry turns both ways. But there is some professionalism in this industry; albeit not much and I do appreciate the small bits and pieces of professionalism when I see it.</p>\n<p>So on to my latest interview. I walked out hopeful that I may have nailed it. The interviewer, a nice woman from Australia whom I enjoyed talking with, said that she would let me know by the end of the day. It was a Friday and she needed someone the following week. Two teachers had already cancelled on her the week before. Ah yes, the professionalism I was just alluding to. Anyway, I did get a text message saying that she had someone else to interview: A friend of a friend, and that she would get back to me once the interview had concluded. So the next morning, with the job still on my mind, I emailed the interviewer.</p>\n<p>\"Dear Ms. Xxxxx:</p>\n<p>Thank you for the text message yesterday. I can imagine how difficult it must be making a decision like this. Time has become a factor and the students need a teacher very shortly. I commiserate with your dilemma. I know that you are looking for fully-licensed teachers and, for the sake of the students, I fully understand. <br /><br />But I wish I could show you the reading and writing assignments I have brought into the classroom; assignments that are making my students think and give their opinions. Yes, there are times when their writings and opinions are a bit sloppy, but I give them credit for trying. It\'s frustrating for me now, (and has been for a while) because I feel that I am being held back by the limiting nature of EFL schools. So because of that, I continually bring in reading and writing material because I want my students to develop into fully thinking and creative people. In fact, one of my heroes in the educational field is a teacher in Los Angeles named Rafe Esquith, who teaches his nine year old students everything from Hemingway to Shakespeare. He doesn\'t read to his students, he reads with his students and they prosper. His students perform fully-abridged Shakespearean plays every year. You can check out the <a href=\"http://www.hobartshakespeareans.org\">website here</a>:</p>\n<p>Now I\'m not saying that my students will perform Shakespeare, but under my care they will become the best they can be. That has always been one of my goals.<br /><br />So Ms. Xxxxx, good luck with any further interviews and I\'m sure you will make a sound decision regarding your teachers. But I am still hopeful that we can work together to meet Xxxx-Xxxx International School\'s objectives of fully developed students and my goals of each student having reached his or her potential. <br /><br />Once again, Ms. Xxxxx, thank you for considering me.\"</p>\n<p>The same day I received this response:</p>\n<p>\"Thank you for this Steve.</p>\n<p>I do not like leaving anyone hanging. I have no doubt that you are a good teacher and that you will love and care for the children and develop their skills.</p>\n<p>When I talked with my friend she suggested that I contact a lady she has been working with who is a trained teacher. So we sent her a text. I am waiting to hear from her this morning.</p>\n<p>I know that you appreciate that I have to follow every option as the decision will be who will be the best fit for the current students.</p>\n<p>I hope that I can respond to you today about the decision.\"</p>\n<p>After two more email exchanges the following day, the interviewer finally tracked down the friend of a friend for the interview which was to take place on Monday, three days after my interview. On Monday night, no phone call or email, but on Tuesday morning I received this:</p>\n<p>\"August 23, 2011.</p>\n<p>Hi Steve,</p>\n<p>Finally I can get back to you. I interviewed the teacher. She has taught Grade 3 for sometime and has had many years of experience in education. However, she is going back to the States for a month in September.</p>\n<p>One of the teachers from school who was going to be here for 3 months is now staying for a year. He said he would be available for Grade 3.</p>\n<p>There is juggling that needs to be done. He was going to relief teach for 2 and a half months until our Grade 4 teacher arrives. If he teaches Grade 3 then I need a relief teacher for 2 and a half months. I do not know what hours you work and if you would be interested to do this. However, if you are willing I would love to have you at the school for this time.</p>\n<p>I expect that it will not be possible for you.</p>\n<p>I am sorry that the process has been drawn out. Thank you for your patience.\"</p>\n<p>As much as I would have loved to have been at this school, this offer was certainly not good enough, if only because I was wise enough to ask myself a simple question: If she needs a &lsquo;relief teacher\' for two and a half months, then where will I be two and a half months later? Out on the street looking for another job, I suppose.</p>\n<p>I was planning to write her back. In fact, I was to use the two and a half hours I have during the very large lunch break here in Cambodia. But I wanted to take at least 24 hours to calm down and think about what I wanted to say. Nothing mean, I just wanted it to be a well thought-out letter.</p>\n<p>The following day at lunch time, I sat down at a computer in the teacher\'s office at my language school and opened my email to find this:</p>\n<p>\"August 23, 2011.</p>\n<p>Hi Steve,</p>\n<p>So much has happened since I saw you. I feel as if my mind is doing mental gymnastics.</p>\n<p>Since writing last night there has been a further development with the teacher at school who will now stay. This may have the impact that will mean I do not need a relief teacher for the 2 and a half months.</p>\n<p>I am sorry that you have been caught up in the drama of all this. My intention was to keep you informed and to tell you that I have been seriously considering you and your application. If you had teacher training I would not have hesitated. I think your ESL training and teaching experience is important and I believe you are a good teacher.</p>\n<p>Thank you for the contact. I will keep your name on file. I wish you well in all you do.\"</p>\n<p>Well, there you have it: Quite a drama, huh? I do admit that this whole thing took a lot out of me and I don\'t look forward to more interviews any time soon. I did eventually write back to the nice Australian woman who interviewed me. Here it is in its entirety:</p>\n<p>\"September 9, 2011.</p>\n<p>Subject: He Sleeps in a Storm</p>\n<p>Dear Ms. Xxxxx:</p>\n<p>Thank you for your letters on Tuesday August 23rd and congratulations on finding what we both hope to be a suitable teacher for grade three. I did want to write to you sooner, but I felt it best to take my time and think of the right words to say.</p>\n<p>I enjoyed speaking with you at our interview and I learned something about being here in Cambodia when you talked about how the tax department of the Hun Sen administration keeps threatening to shut your school down if you don\'t pay them the taxes that they ask for. It is tragic. How the government here can get away with holding the future of school children hostage while they pad their bank accounts. It compels me to question my role here as well. But such is one of the many distinctions between first-world nations and third-world nations. This seems like a society that eats its own children for breakfast then wonders where they are come lunch time. <br /><br />Having said that, your emails of August 23rd did concern me for the reason that they gave me the impression that you were disorganized and indecisive: Two character traits that teachers and leaders in this industry should not have. I hope I\'m wrong here, Ms. Xxxxx, and that our experience was an anomaly. I do realize how difficult is dealing with teachers in various parts of the world with different schedules.</p>\n<p>On Friday evenings, and the occasional Saturday morning, you can find me at the Chabad Jewish Center enjoying some stimulating conversation and kosher food with the Rabbi, his wife and children, and some of my fellow Jews. The Rabbi is a smart and wise man, as Rabbis tend to be. Rabbis love to tell stories. In fact, ask a Rabbi his name.</p>\n<p>\"Rabbi, what\'s your name?\"<br />\"What\'s my name? What\'s my name!?! Wait; let me tell you a story.\"</p>\n<p>On Friday evening following appetizers of humus, various salads, fish, eggplant, and chala bread, he stands in front of his flock and delivers &lsquo;the Torah portion\' of the evening. This is a story or a fable, usual from the Talmud, which is meant to educate and teach us how to live. As I was thinking of how to respond to your emails of August 23rd, I thought of one of the Rabbi\'s stories. So in true Rabbinical and Talmudic form, let me tell you a story. It is titled: \"He Sleeps in a Storm.\"</p>\n<p>Once upon a time there was a man who had to quit his job. He held the job for some time, but for personal reasons had to leave. So in the morning he went to his boss\' office to ask for a letter of recommendation. His employer said \"Sure, come back at the end of the day and get the letter.\"</p>\n<p>So the man went back to his boss\' office at 5:00 to collect his letter. The letter simply read \"He sleeps in a storm.\"</p>\n<p>The employee looked at the letter of recommendation and said to his former boss, \"Thank you but how can I get another job with this?\"</p>\n<p>And his former boss replied \"Trust me; it\'s a great recommendation letter. I meant every word; and your next employer will know what that means.\"</p>\n<p>So with this letter in hand, the man set out to find his next job. Unfortunately the economy wasn\'t so good, so all the man could find was a job on a farm. He gave the owner of the farm the recommendation letter. The farm owner read it: He sleeps in a storm? What does that mean?</p>\n<p>\"I\'m sorry\" said the man who was truly embarrassed about having to give his new employer a letter like that. But it was harvest time and the owner desperately needed a farmhand. So the man was hired.</p>\n<p>A few weeks pass and then suddenly a powerful storm rips through the valley. Awakened by the violent rain and howling wind, the farm owner pounds on the bedroom door of his farmhand, but he is soundly asleep.</p>\n<p>So the owner runs to the barn only to find that all of his animals are warm, resting soundly, and have plenty of feed; he dashes out to the field to see bales of hay and wheat that are securely bound and wrapped; he then races to the silo where the doors are locked and the grain is dry. Then the farm owner remembers; he then understands.</p>\n<p>He sleeps in a storm.</p>\n<p>So, Ms. Xxxxx, while it is more than fair to hire well-trained, licensed, and professional teachers; in fact, it is ethical and proper that we do so since the future of our children is at stake; it is also smart and prudent that we look at those who bring to the table other factors and characteristics that we may miss while searching for the &lsquo;perfect\' candidate: Discipline, decisiveness, and planning and organizational skills: In other words, someone who can sleep in a storm. This is why your emails of August 23rd concerned me. You were in a storm and consequently, you were not sleeping soundly.</p>\n<p>To be honest, I can\'t remember the last time I was disorganized and disheveled as a teacher. I suppose it was back in the late 1990\'s when I started. Since then, I am always prepared for class. I know what to do and what has to be done long before I step into the classroom. Over the years I have worked with many disorganized teachers; teachers who walk around almost in a panic saying \"Oh my God, I have a class in five minutes! What am I going to do?\" It would be comical if it weren\'t so tragic. I say this not to show off or to put down other teachers; I say this because planning and being organized is a big part of my character. I prefer to sleep in a storm.</p>\n<p>I like you, Ms. Xxxxx. That\'s saying a lot since those who know me know that I like so few people in this industry. But what I sense from you is that you really want to leave a mark here in Cambodia; you want to make a positive difference in a society that seems to care so little for its own people.</p>\n<p>The odds are against people like you and me. While there are some good people in this industry, there are so many others who work against it; so many others who don\'t care; so many others who don\'t belong in the classroom; so many who use foreign teachers as \"cash cows\", and who can barely tolerate foreigners in their company; so many others who have given up in the face of adversity; and very few who can sleep in a storm. As a principal, I\'m sure you have met many of them, as I have. I speak here of Khmers and foreigners alike. One of the many faults with foreigners in this industry is what I like to call the \"facebook affect.\" This manifests itself in many forms: From the hiring of only friends and friends of friends, to refusing to communicate with others who may work and teach in English institutes that are not viewed as professional or \"real schools.\"</p>\n<p>Here is a recent case-in-point: I have been at the school in which I teach for almost eight months now. As you know it is affiliated with an international school and a computer school. All three schools share the same building and have different schedules for their students. Needless to say, it is busy with lots of students making a lot of noise. Just last week I had to interrupt my class to go downstairs to the office because of all the noise in the hallway. I went to speak with two of the directors of the international school about this problem since many of the students making the most noise were high school students during their lunch break. We sat down and discussed the problem telling me that a meeting had taken place the day before. I brought the noise problem to their attention a few days before, so they were quite aware of it. Now here is something of which I was not aware: The director of the international school, a British national, let me know that he was not supposed to be talking to me or anyone else from the English institute, (something within the rules of the organization.)</p>\n<p>Well now! I suppose I should be honored that a director of an international school here in Phnom Penh would lower himself to speak to me; a lowly English teacher at a language institute. But I wasn\'t. You see, Ms. Xxxxx, this is yet another huge problem with the expatriate community in this industry. We claim to have the student\'s best interests at heart, but in reality, we don\'t.</p>\n<p>Another recent case in point: Just three weeks ago, a student at the English institute, a 10 year old boy, lost part of his finger when a classmate slammed the door on his hand while horse playing. The parents were called. The police were called. There was a lot of blood on the floor. It was a real mess. I am glad that the directors of the international school and the English institute are finally doing something about the noise problem, but I can\'t help wondering how many more children have to lose fingers before directors of international schools feel comfortable communicating with those working at the English institute.</p>\n<p>While there are many foreigners doing great work here in Cambodia under some very difficult circumstances, there are many others who view their positions as a way to practice nepotism, patronage, and discrimination; the very traits that we as foreigners accuse our host countries of practicing. Many foreigners, especially those in positions of authority, excoriate Asians for their lack of compassion and their seeming inability to properly communicate with others in what are in essence hierarchal societies. Yet when given half the chance, we do the same things as witnessed at my current school. It makes me wonder if foreigners in Cambodia, or Thailand, or wherever they happen to live and work are their own worst enemies. The lack of responsibility and accountability on both sides is astounding. While the powers-that-be continue to point accusatory fingers at one another, children, who yearn for structure and leadership are left to run around, yell and scream, slam doors, and lose fingers. Shame on us!</p>\n<p>At our interview I said that it would be an honor to work at your school. I still believe that. It would be an honor to work with someone like you who is trying to make a positive difference in the lives of so many children. While waiting for you on the day of our interview, I walked around the reception area and noticed a list of your schools objectives. Teaching the children to be creative; teaching them to think for themselves; inviting them to ask life\'s essential question: Why? And to seek answers through their own experiences; these are values that I believe in and have taught for years. It is not an easy thing to do in this part of the world, but it must be done. This kind of education is the first step towards freedom. At the interview I also invited you to observe a class or two of mine at your convenience. That is an open invitation. Lately I\'ve been bringing articles, stories, and introducing poetry into some of my classes. Let me know and I\'ll plan a poetry lesson. You\'ll be dazzled and impressed by how my students respond.</p>\n<p>So once again, Ms. Xxxxx, thank you for the interview. Let us continue to teach to the best of our ability. Let us continue to put the children first. Let us continue to shine the light on those who do not have the educational needs of children at heart. Let us continue to plan and organize. Let us all continue to make the painful decisions necessary so that all of us can one day sleep in a storm.\"</p>\n</p>','','2011-09-11 00:10:05',1,'2011-09-11 00:10:05','2011-09-11 14:02:06'),(6301,21,'Scammers looking for teachers','scammers-looking-for-teachers','You develop a sixth sense for these online teacher scams','You need to develop a sixth sense when you run an online business that takes credit card payments.

This was potentially enough for the credit card holder to view 30 teacher resumes - a potential 30 scam victims.</p>\n<p>The time of the transaction alone raised eyebrows.

The last few weeks have been a mix of excitement and anxiety as grades are finalized and the reality of saying goodbye to my students, some of whom I have taught for the whole year, hits me. When I started this job, I didn\'t realize how attached I would get to children I can only communicate with on a basic level and who drive me crazy with their antics in class while I\'m trying to teach, but I have and there are many I will miss immensely.</p>\n<p>The end of the term has also made me very contemplative. A year ago I was in a very different situation than I am now; I was jobless and overwhelmed with debt from a degree that was beginning to seem useless and I was very confused about how to lift myself up from that desperate situation and pursue my dream of living abroad and traveling. Out of the blue I found a website promoting a TEFL certificate and taking a deep breath, I phoned the company and booked my space, thus beginning an online course that would be the catalyst in my life changing in ways I had only dreamed about.</p>\n<p>The final push came when a friend suggested Ajarn.com for jobs in Thailand and after browsing the website the direction of my life was forever altered. I applied to one job and within two weeks my position was secured, a plane ticket was bought and the reality sunk in that I was leaving the U.S., my home, for a Thailand, a country I knew little about in a part of the world I had never been to before. When people ask, \"Why did you go to Thailand?\", I don\'t have a definitive answer, and I\'m content with that. All I can say is, it just felt right. The climate, the culture, the location, everything seemed to click and my heart soared at the prospect of starting this new career and new chapter in my life in Thailand.</p>\n<p>My intuition was right and the last year has been the most amazing and life-altering yet and I am forever indebted and thankful to my friend, to Ajarn and to the wonderful people of Thailand for taking me in and making my transition to living abroad as comfortable, and exhilarating, as possible!</p>\n<p>I don\'t have a purpose in mind as I write this blog entry, but I feel compelled to share my \"one year later\" thoughts and my thankfulness for the many people who have shaped my life in the last year. Perhaps, this will help others who are feeling nervous about taking the plunge into living and teaching abroad to be little bit crazy(like me!) and throw caution to the wind and take a chance on a new career, a new country and a new direction in life.

Can more focus on creating quality work as opposed to avoiding errors improve the learning process? ','<p>It has often been said we learn more from our mistakes than from our successes, yet mistakes are often thought of as something to be avoided if at all possible.\n<p>And the best way to avoid mistakes is to never take a chance or to never try something new. One never makes a mistake sitting on the sofa pointing out all the mistakes made by the football teams and coaches on TV. One never loses the next election by sitting in the pub pointing out the fact that all politicians are corrupt and incompetent. One never gets panned by critics by being critical of the books, movies, and music produced by others.</p>\n<p>On the other hand achieving success, accomplishing one\'s life goals or getting the most out of one\'s talent rarely comes to those who try to go through life avoiding mistakes. Successfully companies are not started by individuals who are too afraid of failure to get a business off the ground. Books do not get published by writers unwilling to send their material out and risk receiving rejection notices. A band will never make the \"big time\" unless it is willing to play original music instead of seeking the audience\'s easy approval by playing covers of the hits of others.</p>\n<p>As teachers, do we sometimes get too caught up in finding and punishing mistakes? Does this focus on pointing out mistakes discourage students from taking chances and trying out new ideas?</p>\n<p>I often have student asking why I take off points for a specific assignment. I usually counter by saying I do not take off points for what the students does, but students earn points by his or her efforts. Instead of focusing on what mistakes to avoid in order not to have points deducted, I would prefer my students to think of how they can build points by being creative, innovative and analytical. I want to focus on encouraging students to do good work instead of avoiding bad work. I think this is more than a matter of semantics, I think it is a difference in mindset.</p>\n<p>A case could be made much of our current educational system is focused on avoiding mistakes and creating conformity instead of allowing students more room for experimenting and trail and error. This type of education probably served the needs of the majority of a population expected to work in factories or bureaucracies during the industrial era, but is it the optimal method for today\'s information age?</p>\n<p>What is so wrong about students making mistakes on assignments? Do most students learn more by following instructions to the letter and producing an assignment with few mistakes by a tried and true method or by experimenting and trying something new and making many mistakes?</p>\n<p>I understand in reality avoiding mistakes and encouraging creativity are not mutually exclusive. There are places for both. We really don\'t want our airline pilots trying something new and learning from their mistakes. We also don\'t normally encourage creative answers in mathematics or accounting. But in general, as educators we might not give enough freedom to our students to take chances and make mistakes. After all, the end products of our courses (the assignments, papers or tests) are of no importance, but the learning that occurs doing the process is what will be taken away. While focusing on avoiding mistakes might make the assignments better, does it improve the learning process?</p>\n<p>A personal example; I am currently working for an American university\'s program in China and I am working on learning to speak Chinese. A Chinese friend used to help me with my lessons. However each time I got a tone wrong (about every other word) I would be stopped and corrected until I got it perfect. This prevented me from stringing together a complete sentence and really discouraged me from trying to speak the language.</p>\n</p>\n<p>When we break out the red pens and begin marking and pointing out all errors are we also discouraging some of our students?

','<p>Sometimes I\'m reminded what a great country Thailand is to live in, especially when I encounter a level of customer service that I would never imagine possible. I\'ve got a fishy tale for you this month.\n<p>We have a largish fish-pond in our front garden containing half a dozen carp or koi fish. I would probably know the difference if I took more interest in them but by and large, the welfare of the fish and the upkeep of the pond itself are my wife\'s responsibility. She feeds them daily. She cleans the water pump and filters. She\'ll even climb into the pool and wade around in knee-deep water in order to trim the water plants. She considers those fish very much a part of the family.</p>\n<p>Two of the fish are now seven years old. They were the size of fairground goldfish when we tipped them into the pond but they\'ve now grown to an incredible size.</p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, it was obvious that one of our prize carp had developed a serious illness. Its body was bloated to twice its normal size and all its scales were sticking out, giving the fish a rather unnerving &lsquo;pine cone\' effect. My wife and I did some research on the internet and found a number of carp websites, clearly run by enthusiasts who live and breathe all things carp. We were able to ascertain that our fish had &lsquo;dropsy\' or &lsquo;pine-cone disease\'. It\'s a malady caused by a serious malfunction of the fish\'s internal organs. The worse part - or so we read - was that in almost all cases, the disease is fatal. There was no doubt about it - &lsquo;Moby\' was definitely on his way out.</p>\n<p>Driving around, my wife had noticed an animal hospital or &lsquo;vet\' that had recently opened near our house. We decided to drop in ask the vet for some advice. The animal doctor himself was a very young-looking Thai guy and he listened sympathetically as my wife explained the problem. We expected him to repeat what we had already read on the various carp websites but that didn\'t happen. The vet asked where we lived and said he would accompany us back to the house to examine the sick fish.</p>\n<p>\"What? You\'ll come back to the house right now?</p>\n<p>\"Yes, why not?\" the vet replied.</p>\n<p>So the three of us made the short drive back home and the vet stood at the side of the fish-pond, scratched his head&nbsp;and worked out a treatment plan. He took a sample of the fish\'s scales to test (it took two people to hold the fish down as it flapped around wildly) and said he would return just after 5pm with a special transportation pool and take the fish back to the surgery for observation. True to his word, he returned at five &lsquo;o\' clock on the dot and took the fish away.</p>\n<p>The following morning (Sunday) my wife and I nipped into the vet\'s office to check on the fish\'s progress. The vet took us to a back room where Moby was swimming happily in a large plastic tank complete with oxygen pumps and all sorts. The vet had also given the fish an injection and treated the water with various chemicals to kill any lurking parasites. It was clear that the vet wanted the fish to survive just as much as we did. And he seemed to think the chances were good.</p>\n<p>Over the next several days, the vet called my wife two or three times to give her an update. He told my wife that she was welcome to drop into the pet hospital at any time. We decided to go once more, not only to see the fish, but to offer the vet some money for the treatment. Up to now, he hadn\'t asked for a baht in payment. The vet tapped some numbers into a calculator - I\'m presuming the cost of home visits, injections, tests and the fishy version of a hospital bed - and told my wife that 500 baht would cover it. Now that\'s Amazing Thailand right there.</p>\n<p>My wife was keen to learn a bit more about this wonderful animal doctor for whom nothing seemed too much trouble and the vet was happy to tell his story. He learned his trade at the Suwanachart Vet Hospital. It\'s an animal hospital with royal connections so you would certainly expect him to know his stuff. But after years of loyal service, he felt it was time to go his own way and open his own practice. He went on to say that the biggest problem he faced was the fact that Thai pet owners viewed him with suspicion simply because he looked so young. It was a prejudice he knew would be difficult to overcome.</p>\n<p>\"Thai people prefer older vets for some reason\" he said. In addition, he had spent a lot of money on an impressive shop-front so people had the mistaken belief that treatment there would be expensive. Costly animal care was definitely not part of his business plan.</p>\n<p>\"I set up this business purely to help pet owners on lower incomes and give their animals a service and treatment that they deserve. I just enjoy making sick animals well again\"</p>\n<p>Feeling humbled and very impressed, my wife and I returned home and went about our weekend tasks. Lying half-awake in bed that night - almost midnight in fact - my wife\'s mobile phone rang. While not exactly distraught but clearly a little upset, the vet gave us the bad news - our fish had died. The vet had wanted to come to the house and break the news to us face-to-face but it was getting a little late.</p>\n<p>My wife reassured him that he had done all he could. He had done his very best. And he had shown a level of care and customer service that she had never experienced at a pet hospital before. I\'ll certainly go along with that.</p>\n</p>','','2011-10-05 21:09:01',1,'2011-10-05 21:09:01','2011-10-07 08:08:02'),(6588,4,'Fast times at Hitler High','fast-times-at-hitler-high1','What on earth are the schoolkids being prepared for?','For those who think that the students may have missed the lessons on Hitler and the NAZIS, or perhaps fell asleep during the lectures, I say the opposite:  I say that these students were probably very much awake and were mesmerized by all things NAZI.

The event was called \"Sports Day and <a href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2042097/Student-Nazi-dress-day-causes-outrage-Thailand.html#ixzz1Z89yb4g6\">the story made the international press.</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2042097/Student-Nazi-dress-day-causes-outrage-Thailand.html#ixzz1Z89yb4g6\">The Bangkok Post also covered the story a day later</a>.</p>\n<p>You can also &lsquo;Google\' the event; it\'s everywhere. If I may ask, what in the world are these kids being prepared for? The obvious answer to that would be \"the real world\", but maybe I\'m just being cynical. But don\'t blame the students. They were just following orders: After all, \"Befehl ist befehl.\" (Orders are orders.)</p>\n<p>For those who have read the Daily Mail article, you may have come across this statement: \"Stunned ex-pats were appalled. Surely the pupils were aware of what the Swastika and Nazis represented? Apparently not, as it emerged that not even the Thai teachers at the school understood what all the fuss was about.\"</p>\n<p>Ah, ignorance; thy name is the Thai education industry. Actually, it\'s the name of the education industry, full stop. Notice I said &lsquo;industry\' and not &lsquo;system.\' For education is now an industry, (and has been for a long time); a full-fledged industrial complex of quasi-factories where students are trucked in by the thousands, fed nothing but a pack of lies about the world by &lsquo;teachers\' who know nothing about the world and couldn\'t care less about it, (and perhaps some fish and rice for lunch), and then trucked back home where they amuse themselves into a death-like stupor by watching music videos and &lsquo;playing\' Facebook. Yes, that is the modern day educational industrial complex and Nazism, with its entire attendant and innate destructive power, is the result.</p>\n<p>Those who have read the article from the Bangkok Post may have come across this statement made by Khun Chanwit Tubsuphan, Secretary-General of the Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC): \"Mr Chanwit said lessons on the history of World War II have already been provided to the children and it was one of eight core subjects in social sciences designed by the Education Ministry.\"</p>\n<p>Oh really? I mean, oh really! For those who may think that the students may have missed the lessons on Hitler and the NAZIS, or perhaps fell asleep during the lectures, I say the opposite: I say that these students in the photographs were probably very much awake and were mesmerized by all things NAZI. By the looks of things, they seem to have learned quite a bit.</p>\n<p>So these photographs of young Thai soldiers, (ah, I mean students), don\'t surprise me: Shocking, yes; appalling, certainly; horrifying, most definitely; but surprising, no. It is not surprising if one takes into account the goals and objectives of the Thai educational industrial complex: If one of the goals is to produce &lsquo;good little NAZIS\', who will one day blindly serve the state, then these students, the school, and the Thai educational industrial complex deserve an A plus. Bravo! Well-done!</p>\n<p>Reading some of the reaction to this in the comment section of the articles, the letters to the editor, and on certain websites, one of the recurring themes is the historical ignorance of the Thais and all things global and worldly. Fair enough. It is understandable that teenagers, their teachers and administrators, who have never stepped foot out of their cozy village life in Issan, are not well-versed in the history of World War Two and the horrors of the Holocaust: Understandable, yes; acceptable, no. The solution to this situation, I kept reading, is to educate the Thais to these horrors. Well, yeah, good idea but you can only truly and genuinely educate those who truly and genuinely want to be educated. We are not talking about math and science here; we are talking about mass-murder on a scale never seen and experienced before in the history of mankind.</p>\n<p>That is not something you read to children like Aesop\'s Fables. This is not Goldilocks or the Three Little Pigs. This is something we must take very seriously. If Thai school children and their teachers (or any school children and their teachers) are not yet ready to hear of such horror, then we will do a lot more harm than good. Force democracy down people\'s throats when they are not yet ready to lead, and you end up with Iraq and Afghanistan with their terrorism and homicide bombers. Force serious and genuine education down people\'s throats when they are not yet ready to learn, and you end up with Thailand (and more than a few other countries in Asia) with its pathological nationalism, insular mentality, and Nazi-theme bars.</p>\n<p>It is all well and good to say, \"let us educate these people\", but we are forgetting the 800 pound gorilla in the room; in fact, we are ignoring several 800 pound gorillas in the room. Foreigners in Thailand, especially English teachers, see the gorillas everywhere, but conveniently ignore them. And while I welcome a certain level of shared horror at what transpired at the school in Chiang Mai; while I love the philosophical and ecumenical debate, only us Jews can be \"Jewishly\" horrified at seeing a group of high school students dressed as NAZIS. Gentiles in Thailand and elsewhere cannot be expected to know what many of us Jews know instinctively: That a steady diet of Hitler sandwiches and NAZI pork chops to those not yet ready for serious study and true learning will only turn many of those 800 pound gorillas into 1,200 pound gorillas in a matter of months; and then we are all in trouble.</p>\n<p>These gorillas do not have the mind necessary to digest all of this. They have neither the ability to introspect nor the capacity to analyze this historical tragedy called the Holocaust. They lack both the intellectual and analytical skills and the essential psychological ingredient called compassion to fully comprehend the plight of another people\'s historical tragedy and thus suffer along side them.</p>\n<p>We often hear people say to others who have gone through some tragedy, \"I can\'t imagine what you\'ve been through.\" My question is, \"Why not?\" This lack of compassion, this lack of any ability to imagine the sufferings of others (for they are not that different from our own suffering) can, and often does, lead people to do inhumane acts. So the Thai inability to think independently, creatively, and &lsquo;outside-the-box\' combined with their unwillingness to truly suffer with another people, (for that is the true meaning of compassion), can and will lead them to only one conclusion: That Adolph Hitler was one cool dude.</p>\n<p>Don\'t believe me? Read this letter to the editor of the Bangkok Post sent in by &lsquo;Wolfgang\' on October 1, 2011.</p>\n<p>\"Curious as the Thais are, nearly everybody asked me about my country of origin when I first came to Thailand many years ago. When I said Germany, their standard answer was: \'Ah, Hitler.\' When I asked why Hitler came to their mind first, they said that &lsquo;he had the guts to challenge the whole world.\'\"</p>\n<p>Ah yes, that cool dude had the guts to challenge the whole world. Isn\'t that what Asians love, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Genghis Khan, Ho Chi Min, Chairman &lsquo;F**king\' Mao? Those who challenge the world, challenges America, threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Everyone loves an underdog, and no more so than Asians who feel that they have been pissed on long enough by the West.</p>\n<p>One of the many problems with Asian nations is that, because of the way they are structured, they have become little more than self-fulfilling prophesies of cultural mediocrity and social stagnation. What that means is that the older these people get, the dumber they become. Once they reach a certain age, they stop listening to others; once they stop listening, they stop learning. So the young are taught by those who have stopped listening and learning years earlier, and the vicious cycle of cultural mediocrity and social stagnation continues.</p>\n<p>This incident at raises a very interesting philosophical and theological question: Are Thais inherently evil? The answer: No more or less evil than the rest of humanity. If humanity is inherently evil and needs to be taught to be good, then it needs culture and education more than ever. If humanity is inherently good and learns to become evil, then what is the true function of culture and education? If people are inherently good, then culture and education become superfluous and can actually interfere with self-development.</p>\n<p>For those who actually thought that Fascism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Nazism went by way of the Dino the dinosaur, I quote British-Jewish writer Howard Jacobson from his novel &lsquo;The Finkler Question\': \"These things just don\'t go away. There is nowhere for them to go. They are indestructible, non-biodegradable. They wait in the great rubbish tip that is the human heart.\" It is all too easy and perhaps politically convenient since World War Two to split the world in two: Those who want to forget the evil and wanton destruction of the NAZIS, and those, who for other nefarious purposes, are inclined to remember the NAZIS. In good times it is the former that takes priority; in bad times, the latter.</p>\n<p>This is not the first time that Nazism has reared its ugly head in the Land of Smiles. According to the Bangkok Post article \"a similar parade took place in 2007 at a school in Bangkok involving 200 students and, more recently, the Thai rock band &lsquo;Slur\' donned Nazi regalia in a music video.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/soct13.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Taken outside a clothing shop in Bangkok</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/soct9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>From a Thai-language comic book (translated from Korean) in which adventurous school kids embark on a zany quest to find Nazi treasure.

In fact, he never went away and is still welcomed in many places.</p>\n<p>Thailand is not the only Asian country with a fascination for all things NAZI. Japan, South Korea and India have also exhibited a NAZI fetish in recent years.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/soct6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>A restaurant in Mumbai India: I love the sign; \"From small bites to MEGA joys.\" I hear the Hitler sandwiches and NAZI pork chops are to die for.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/soct5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>And who can forget the \"Hitler Techno Bar and Cocktail Show\" in Busan South Korea? It\'s conveniently located just above a 7/11 just in case the NAZIS are overcome by a case of the &lsquo;midnight munchies.\' This wasn\'t the only Hitler bar in South Korea.

It is a warning; and we all know what happens when we do not heed warnings.</p>\n<p>I am not the only one to suggest a NAZI streak or mentality in the Thai national character. This too is another 800 pound gorilla in the room that just about everyone can see but no one wants to talk about. Two very prominent and respected columnists for the Bangkok Post have suggested the same, Khun Sanitsuda Ekachai and Khun Voranai Vanijaka under the respective and very apropos headlines, \"<a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/258781/nazism-in-our-brainwashed-upbringing\">Nazism in our brainwashed upbringing</a>\" and \"<a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/259253/nip-nazi-mentality\">Nip Nazi mentality</a>.\"&nbsp;</p>\n<p>World War Two and the horrors of Nazism are not the only historical subjects that the Thai Educational Industrial Complex seems to be keeping from their students. Most Thais are also not aware of their own recent history such as the democracy movements of the 1970\'s which saw hundreds of student activists and demonstrators held against their will and killed. The October 6, <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/260402/in-memories-of-a-massacre-a-cautionary-tale-for-today\">1976 anniversary of the protests at Thammasat University was remembered recently by the Bangkok Post in this column by Voranai Vanijaka</a>.</p>\n<p>As the column states, \"The events of Oct 6, 1976 are not a part of the history curricula of schools except at the university level and even then only at select institutions.\"</p>\n<p>Most Thais are also not aware that the three most southern provinces in Thailand were once part of Malaysia; that in 1832, Thailand annexed the independent Muslim sultanate that is now Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat provinces. So I suppose that most Thais think that the violence germinating from the south has simply sprung out of nowhere. Thais also do not know (and will never admit) that traditional \"Thai dancing\" is really \"Apsara\", a classical dance originating from the Khmer Empire, now Cambodia. In fact, depictions of Apsara dancers are carved into stone walls of 12th century temples at Angkor Wat. As for Thai kickboxing, or Muay Thai, that also originated from the Khmer Empire in the ninth century and is called \"Brodal Serei.\" But don\'t tell the Thais that. With all that important history not included in the Thai national curriculum, one must wonder what the Thai students are really learning.</p>\n<p>So what is the solution here? The solution for every teacher is to teach your students think for themselves. There is a reason why a holocaust or genocide occurs in places like Cambodia or Rwanda. There is a reason why a Holocaust or genocide cannot and will not happen in Canada, the United States, Australia, or England. Mass slaughter on a scale like the Holocaust cannot occur in countries where its citizens are able to think for themselves and are well-steeped in world history. Where people are taught properly and where there is a high regard for remembering past atrocities, thoughts of genocide will never be allowed to fester or flourish, let alone become a reality. Teaching students to think for themselves, before feeding them Hitler sandwiches and Nazi pork chops, is essential. Teach them history; real history as it truly happened. Teach them to ask the essential questions in life. Teach them to ask \"Why?\"</p>\n<p>There are teachers who walk into class with an agenda. I am proud to say that I am one of them. Then there are teachers who step into class with a banjo or a ukulele and sing \"Tiptoe through the Tulips.\" I am proud to say that I am NOT one of those. As a teacher backed up by a caring and educationally-minded principal, you can either teach your students what they truly need to know, or you can become an \"edutainer\" and do your best Tiny Tim impersonation. I made my choice and the reasons are as clear to me as they are time-honored and socially significant.</p>\n<p>So what I do in the classroom, much to the dismay of many students, jealous teachers, and envious and fearful principals is step into the classroom with more than just a textbook. I walk in with poetry; I walk in with philosophy; I ask \"What do you think about this?\" \"What does this mean to you?\" \"How can man improve himself?\" \"How can we prevent another Pol Pot for coming to power?\" \"Why?\" \"Why do you think this is so?\" \"Why do you think this happened?\" \"Why? Why? Why?\"</p>\n<p>Students who cannot answer these questions are, in the words of farmers, \"ripe for the picking.\" They can, and often do, end up marching side-by-side with the next Adolph Hitler or Pol Pot. There are far more Adolph Hitler\'s in the world than there are Mother Theresa\'s; thousands of Pol Pot\'s waiting in the jungle for their time to come. The only thing saving humanity from completely destroying itself is the human propensity to make babies faster than we can kill each other.</p>\n<p>Why do I do this? To paraphrase Eli Wiesel, the award winning author and holocaust survivor, we are on this earth for two main reasons: To bear witness (to life\'s atrocities) and to accurately document them for future generations to learn from. It is frightening to me, unbearably frightening, how not one student stood up to any teacher or administrator at&nbsp;that Chiang Mai school&nbsp;and said, \"I am not wearing that NAZI uniform and you can\'t make me! This is wrong!\"&nbsp; Not one student. Sixteen year old students who wear the NAZI uniform at a \"toy parade\" can easily grow up to be 26 year old adults who wear NAZI uniforms (or &lsquo;Red Shirts\', after all, they were just following orders too) at the next Beer Hall Putsch. That\'s another thing many of us Jews know instinctively.</p>\n<p>So for obvious reasons I like to take some time out of a busy English Language Learning curriculum of songs, dance, games, and amusing the children to death, to teach what is truly necessary and essential so that the next generation of students can look the next Adolph Hitler or Pol Pot in the eye and say, \"F*ck you Adolph, I am not goose stepping with you on any more killing sprees! No more killing of Jews or Gypsies! I know the history. I know why it happened. Never again! F*ck you Pol, or is it Pot?! I am not marching with you to torture and kill any more Cambodian babies! I know the history. I know why it all happened. I had good teachers and asked the proper questions. No more killing fields, never again!\"</p>\n<p>The Italian-Jewish writer and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi said of the NAZI era, the gas chambers, the inhumanity, and the horror of it all: \"No propitiatory prayer, no pardon, and no expiation by the guilty, which nothing at all in the power of man can ever clean again.\" The holocaust, the gas chambers, the death camps, the horror, the inhumanity of it all is one huge stain on the corpus of humanity that can never be wiped clean.</p>\n<p>I dare say this: Whenever Asian school children wear NAZI uniforms to play in their little parade; whenever some stupid person in Asia brainlessly decides to open a NAZI-theme bar; whenever some ignorant punk-rock band decides to goosestep in a video mimicking Hitler, all this simply adds to the huge stain on the corpus of humanity that can never be cleansed. The NAZIS did not only kill men, women, and children; they also killed God. They put God in the gas chambers and gassed Him too. Anyone who puts on the NAZI uniform, regardless of the circumstances, kills God again.</p>\n<p>As educators, this is what we are all responsible for: Teaching others through history and essential question-asking how to defend themselves against would-be tyrants, dictators, and mass-murderers anywhere in the world. If we do not do this then we have all failed. These students who donned the NAZI uniform did not fail history or math or science or English. These students are failing the most important subject of all: Life. They are failing life, and so are their teachers and citizens.</p>\n<p>One final message to Thailand:</p>\n<p>How&nbsp;could you put on the NAZI uniform and parade your teenaged students through your streets. How&nbsp;could you! That it was a \"toy parade\" is all the more insulting. How&nbsp;could you mock and trivialize one of the largest mass-executions and genocides in human history? How&nbsp;could you don the uniform of one of the largest and most brutal killing machines in history and still have the balls to call yourself a civilized and peace-loving people. How&nbsp;could you tell foreign teachers how to teach your children, when many Thai teachers themselves are clueless as to how to properly educate its own. How&nbsp;could you!</p>\n<p>I will close by quoting another author and Holocaust survivor, Victor Frankl. Frankl warns us to always be alert because</p>\n<p>\"Since Auschwitz we know what man is capable of.\"</p>\n<p>And history teaches that when we chose to ignore these warnings, they are repeated.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2011-10-28 02:39:43',1,'2011-10-28 02:39:43','2011-10-30 09:09:44'),(6618,59,'Class, may I go out?','class-may-i-go-out','Dealing with a delicate classroom issue','What do you do you if in the middle of your teaching you suddenly feel the urge to go to the toilet?

Do you wait until your class is over? Do you ask your students to excuse you? What\'s the best way to deal with this most personal of issues?<br /><br />In a school where I once taught, an annual medical examination was a standard operating procedure (SOP). All teachers and staff had to undergo a physical examination - x-rays, urinalysis, sugar testing, CBC, etc. During one such examination, I was unfortunate to find out that I had a tiny stone in my left kidney. The doctor said I didn\'t need to worry because he could give me some medicine to dissolve it. He explained that the stone in my kidney had been caused by eating salty food - salted fish, dried fish, salty snacks and suchlike. He went on to say that he would give me tablets to take for one month then after that I needed to go back and have another x-ray.</p>\n<p>I underwent an x- ray again and my doctor was happy to announce that the stone had completely disappeared. Fast forward five years and I was surprised to discover I had developed a urinary tract infection. I could feel intense pain before and after urination. I had a nasty fever at times and I was passing light brown urine. All in all, I had the classic symptoms of a urinary infection. I consulted a doctor and he referred me for ultrasound treatment. I decided not to go. At times when I had no money I wouldn\'t go to the doctor. I would just treat myself with a sufficient dosage of amoxicillin and paracetamol. However, the urinary problems wouldn\'t go away.</p>\n<p>One summer, I asked permission from my students to leave the room, \"Class, may, I go out?\" Thankfully the toilet was only three doors away. I was able to make it to the toilet without an accident. But in the following uncomfortable hours, I felt a frequent urge to urinate. I decided to pass by the pharmacy and buy something that any person would find a tad embarrassing to ask for - adult diapers. \"Yes, sir, what size?\" the lady asked. \"It\'s for grandpa.\" I answered. And with diapers hidden in a plastic bag, I returned home, chuckling about the fact that my baby daughter had never wore diapers in her life.</p>\n<p>For weeks, I felt confident that nobody noticed I was wearing a diaper and what\'s more, was actually urinating in it. But a very observant seven-year old boy asked me what was wrong. In reality I was peeing in my diaper. In my condition, it may only have been a couple of drops but even that was such a great relief.</p>\n<p>In my desperation, I sought advice from people who knew something about this ailment. They recommended herbal medication with apple juice, coconut juice, boiled guava leaves, boiled tree leaves, boiled flowers of corn and so much other stuff - but there was no effect or respite. I still had the pain before and after urination. I suffered for nearly half a year with antibiotics and analgesics as my only allies.</p>\n<p>Finally, I went to see a urologist. There I came to realise that I was already old because most of the patients with my condition were in their 50\'s and 60\'s. I underwent an ultrasound and x-rays, and the diagnosis was a stone in my urinary bladder which measured 1 inch in diameter. Using the history of my illness, the doctor explained that the kidney stone did disappear because of medication, but it then fell to the urinary bladder causing all my problems. For years it had remained there and had grown on any minerals that it could cling to.</p>\n<p>\"You have two choices. We can remove the stone with a laser or with a surgical operation.\" The laser procedure was more expensive so I opted for the second choice. However, I did not have 40,000 pesos (about 1000 US dollars) so with the help of my cousin, a nurse working at the Philippine Kidney Institute, I was advised to go to the out- patient department of that hospital.</p>\n<p>I had to wake up at 4 o\'clock in the morning to get a low queue ticket number for consultation but it was worth the sacrifice. Finally I got my schedule for the operation and the ordeal was over. Thanks to social welfare, I only paid 3,000 pesos (less than a hundred US dollars)</p>\n<p>What happened to me taught me a lot of things.</p>\n<p>When we feel something different happening in any part of our body, we should see the doctor right away. Once we\'re given prescriptions and instructions, follow them religiously. If it can be avoided, we should refrain from eating salty foods. We should drink a lot of water or juice. A British friend of mine once said that a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water a day can help cleanse our urinary system.</p>\n<p>When we feel the urge to pass water, we have to go. But when we are in school, we should go to the toilet first before starting our class. When it is unavoidable, leave the class, but be sure to leave things in the hands of a covering colleague if possible.</p>\n<p>Keep yourself healthy.

','<p>Foreign ESL teachers in Thailand or other parts in Asia are a diverse lot and have many different motivations for teaching abroad.\n<p>For many younger teachers the expectation is to enjoy living overseas for a few years before going back home and starting one\'s real adult life and career.</p>\n<p>For others it is an opportunity to escape and start over, the 21st century version of running off and joining the circus.</p>\n<p>And no doubt one could come up with many other motivations to go to the other side of the world into a foreign culture to teach, for native speakers, one\'s native language.</p>\n<p>Some who come to teach become perfectly satisfied and settle in to teach English as one\'s life work. Others return home after a year or two usually greatly enriched by the experience. Both of these can be good choices for many individuals.</p>\n<p>However there are those who originally come to teach English and later find they don\'t want to give up the expatriate lifestyle but also don\'t want to teach English as a career. Are there options for these individuals other than keep teaching ESL or going home and starting over again? Can ESL teachers make transitions to other types of international work?</p>\n<p>As this writer began his work-life in Thailand as an English teacher who has gone on to work in the export business, NGOs, and academia it would seem from the writer\'s viewpoint the answer is obviously yes, but personal experience also indicates it is not an easy transition. For most, making the transition usually requires the attainment of a new set of skills, education and experiences. Also one needs to overcome a stigma some international employers attach to the words \"English teacher\" on a resume.</p>\n<p>Those with an entrepreneurial streak and a little capital might be able to create a business overseas and there are many examples of individuals doing so successfully, although one can also find plenty of cases of failure as well. Getting hired into a professional position is always possible, although it normally requires very strong language skills and with the steady improvements in educational systems in Thailand and around Asia it is becoming increasingly rare that a native English speaker has a skill set that could not be found in the local workforce. There are NGO jobs, although not so many in Thailand as is found in neighboring countries, but often these types of jobs require specialized experience, training and/or education. Also it is not uncommon to hear of local ESL teachers pursuing qualifications needed to become teachers at \"international schools\" although I am not sure how many of these local ESL teachers have successfully made this transition.</p>\n<p>An option that seems to be usually overlooked is to make the transition from ESL teacher to an academic member of a university. In fact, we have seem a huge increase in the internationalization of high education with many British, Canadian, European, American and Australian Universities offering programs in foreign countries where professors and instructors can often get paid on the wage skills of the home country of the university and not local pay scales. There are also local universities throughout Asia that have international programs where academic subjects are taught in English, teachers in these programs are generally paid at local levels although these levels are usually higher than those paid for teaching in English language programs. Furthermore, as distance education spreads and becomes more acceptable there are opportunities to teach in programs, or act as academic advisor for theses and dissertations, around the world regardless of the physical location of the instructor/professor. I spend many hours each week working with students who are physically in different continents from where I am physically at.</p>\n<p>In many ways the transition from ESL teacher to academic teacher/lecturer, and eventually to \"professor\" would seem to be one of the easier transition paths available to the average ESL teacher. A conscientious ESL teacher should have already developed teaching and classroom management skills, and only needs to gain the professional education or qualifications needed for an academic position. Obviously one can pursue a career in academia as a linguist or in other types of language instruction, but one should not think one is limited to these areas. One could gain further education in a number of fields such as psychology, history, or the social sciences. However it should be acknowledged the vast majority of international university programs in Thailand and around the world are in the fields of business and economics and one would increase employment opportunities to study in these areas.</p>\n<p>While ideally if one wanted to have a career in academia it would be best to return to the west and get a PhD at Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard or Columbia. However even those without the means to pursue this optimal course of action can make the transition, even without leaving Thailand or other parts of Asia and giving up their current ESL teaching jobs. There are a number of universities in Thailand and other parts of Asia (much like the universities one making this transition would expect to work for) which have graduate level programs in English, both masters and doctoral, designed for working adults which provide opportunities for gaining the qualifications needed for the transition.</p>\n<p>While there are those who will tell you a degree from a Thai or other Asian university is nearly useless, this has not been my experience. This prejudice against Asian education may be more pronounced in the ESL communities than it is in other academic fields. In fact I know of a number of graduates of Thai universities (myself included) who have worked for universities accredited in the US, UK and Australia.</p>\n<p>Another option to gain the qualifications necessary to make the transition necessary is through distance learning. While distance learning is still not completely understood or respected everywhere in the world, an accredited distance education degree is accepted by universities accredited in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries (personal experience here as well). In fact having studied through distance education might help one become an adjunct professor for a western university\'s online program. While being an online adjunct might not be the road to riches, one can make working a few hours a week what a full time ESL teacher generally makes. Instead of posting a few hours on Ajarnforum, one who is qualified can post a few hours a day on a classroom forum and get paid for it. Not the worst deal in the world.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Making the transition from ESL teacher to living in Asia on expatriate/western wages is not an easy one, but one that is possible if one is willing to be focused and spend the time and effort to make this transition a reality. There are a number of areas one can transition into from ESL teaching if one is so inclined, but moving into academia shouldn\'t be overlooked as a possibility for those seeking the best of both the western and eastern worlds.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.

For many schools the new school term, which should have begun in the first week of November, has been delayed indefinitely, leaving teachers completely in the dark. Many chalkies are wondering if they\'ll even get paid for what is shaping up to be a long period of inactivity.\n<p>The situation is particularly distressing for those waiting to start a new job. On the ajarn Facebook page, one teacher wrote that he was due to start a teaching position at a new school on October 31st. The school contacted him to say that the floods had caused them to postpone the first day of term until the 7th. Then the 7th became the 14th and who knows what will happen beyond that? The teacher is lucky inasmuch as he has been given lesson preparation and worksheets to do from the comfort of his home, but that won\'t be the same story for everyone. Many teachers will just have to play a waiting game. Another teacher contacted ajarn to say they had no idea when their school would open. Every question aimed at the school admin staff is met with a shrug of the shoulders. What else is there to say?</p>\n<p>It\'s even worse I suppose if you are not even in the country. There you are, suitcase packed, ready to leave for the airport - only to have the school tell you \"please don\'t come now - we\'re under water\" This has happened to one teacher whose three-week break in the USA has already turned into six and has no idea when his school will be open for business. \"I\'ve already switched my flight back to Thailand twice. The second time as I was about to leave for the airport. It\'s all incredibly frustrating\"</p>\n<p>Although a lot of schools have penciled in the 15th November as the start of term, it could still be optimistic. Even after the floodwater has receded, there are going to be gigantic clean-up operations necessary. One ajarn forum reader said that their school was inundated by over a metre of water. One can only hope someone had the sense and foresight to move all equipment, furniture and paperwork up to a higher level.</p>\n<p>Although there are some optimistic reports in the media, stating that this could all be over within 2-3 weeks, some teachers are not taking any chances. One teacher, who lives near the Saen Saeb Canal in Bangkok, wrote \"the school told the teachers that classes will tentatively begin on the 15th and the school term will be extended into March. Teachers are welcome to go back from the 10th November and claim full salary, but I\'m not sticking around. My home is in a risky area being so close to one of the proposed drainage canals, so I\'m bailing out to a neighboring country for an extended holiday\"</p>\n<p>The biggest worry for many teachers of course is are they going to get paid for the downtime? The more unscrupulous school owners and agents have never been slow to pick up on an opportunity to &lsquo;nickel and dime\' a teacher out of bonuses, overtime and holiday pay. Will a flood provide the golden opportunity to say \"\"well, the insurance companies aren\'t paying out so why should we?\"</p>\n<p>One teacher said on the ajarn forum that his school has promised all teachers half-pay for the time the school is closed and no lessons are being taught. There is also the promise that the school will &lsquo;make up the money at a later date\'. Any Thailand old hand will hear those words and know that it\'s probably best to dip into the salt bag and take an extra large pinch.</p>\n<p>Worrying times indeed.</p>\n<p>Are you a teacher caught up in the flood situation?

And it\'s even deeper in some areas!','<p>It has surely not escaped anyone\'s notice over the last few months that Thailand and now Bangkok are facing their worst flooding disaster for nearly 70 years! But how has this affected the property market in Bangkok?\n<p>Well, the obvious and immediate effect has been the loss of many habitable properties on the outskirts of the city. Tens of thousands of townhouses and detached houses - most no more than three storeys high - have been inundated by up to two metres of flood water. And it\'s even deeper in some areas! Some of our&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">Easyhomes</a> team live on the outskirts of Bangkok and their homes have been flooded for weeks now.</p>\n<p>With the average ground floor being about 2.5 - 3 metres high, it is easy to see how the floods have destroyed ground level living areas in most of these properties. Many of the properties are not built for extreme weather conditions and are poor build quality to start with. Private housing on the outskirts of Bangkok is often relatively cheap. A property that costs two or three million Baht is almost certainly not going to be built with the best quality materials on the market. The developers set out to save costs and maximize profits as best they can.</p>\n<p>This has of course led to thousands of Bangkokians looking for alternative accommodation, with many heading to their families in the rural areas of Thailand (assuming of course the family members up-country have not been affected by flooding). Many other Bangkok folk - those who still have a job to go to - are looking for temporary accommodation in the city center, which at the time of writing is still dry.</p>\n<p>All this is of course having a major impact on the supply of condos, apartments and other properties in the city center. Many buy-to-let owners have a house in Bangkok\'s suburbs or even perhaps one or two properties they lease out to tenants in the city center. Now these buy-to-let owners are occupying the properties themselves, perhaps with their friends and family. This has meant thousands of rental properties are now off the market indefinitely.</p>\n<p>And what of that word &lsquo;indefinitely\' - well there can\'t be a more much apt time to use a word like that as no one knows when the floods will fully recede. No one knows what damage has been done to individual properties and no one knows when life can go back to normal again. Will it be a few months? Will it be longer?</p>\n<p>I was speaking to a friend yesterday who is a senior executive of factories in both Ayuthaya and Phatumthani. Both areas are close to Bangkok and have been affected by floods for some time. He said in his best estimation that his factory in Phatumthani might start production in late December and the one in Ayuthaya sometime in February - but even those guesstimates are a tad optimistic.</p>\n<p>So if a fully established factory - with hundreds of staff working together to get the factory operational as soon as possible - will take approximately two months, then what hope a family whose house has been submerged for months and their possessions destroyed?</p>\n<p>Going back the topic of build quality, if your house was never built that well in the first place, then what irreparable damage will several months of water submersion do? With poor quality, concrete, steel, iron, plastic piping, wiring and tiling all affected. And even if the water miraculously went down tomorrow, then where will you find a plumber, electrician and plasterer? These people are going to be in big demand! And even if you do find one, how and where will they find the supplies to do the job for you?</p>\n<p>The factories that make products such as plastic piping, wiring and tiles have been submerged and are out of action as well. Another friend of mine visited one of Thailand\'s largest furniture shops, with branches and warehouses all over Thailand, and was told on the 30th of October that if he was to order any of their products, the earliest delivery would be the 20th December. And he was not allowed any of the showroom items because they themselves cannot be replaced at present.</p>\n<p>Of course, all this is assuming that one has a bottomless pit of money and the fact your company, school or office is closed will mean perhaps that you have no pay or a reduced salary for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>So when can you afford to move back into your water-damaged house? Well how long is a piece of string?</p>\n<p>&bull; What does this mean for expats renting in Bangkok\'s city center? Well it means there is less supply on the market now and perhaps into Q1 or Q2 of 2012.<br />&bull; Will this push prices up? Well I\'m not sure, but it certainly won\'t push them down. And once you see a property you like, you will probably have to decide quicker than you would have done in 2011 because there will be less choice on the market, and plenty of others will want it if the property is desirable.<br />&bull; What advice would I give to those looking for a property between now and March? Be decisive and targeted. Decide what type of condo or property you want and decide on the location. Then be willing to make quick decisions and be flexible on buildings. The more popular buildings will fill up first.</p>\n<p>Just keep in mind that the over-supply of condos and property that every man and his dog have been talking about for the last 2-3 years is temporarily no longer with us. And with the floods being not only unprecedented, but also unpredictable, no one knows the future and when the thousands of people who\'ve lost their homes can return to their properties.</p>\n</p>','','2011-11-06 06:08:28',1,'2011-11-06 06:08:28','2011-11-06 20:08:29'),(6665,10,'Bring it on!','bring-it-on','If it\'s going to flood, then for pete\'s sake get it over with','Seriously, hasn\'t this been the most unbelievably stressful time for everyone concerned?

Well, if you can\'t beat &lsquo;em, then join &lsquo;em. That\'s what I say.\n<p>Seriously, hasn\'t this been the most unbelievably stressful time for everyone concerned? At the time of writing, those of us in Eastern Bangkok, have now been waiting the best part of two months to find out whether or not our homes are going to be inundated with filthy dirty floodwater. And we\'re still waiting. A water mass the size of a million blue whales (or is it a trillion?) is heading our way, and there isn\'t one person who can tell you with any assurance, if you\'re going to be wet or dry.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure like me you\'ve been keeping yourself updated via the Thailand media. And what fun it\'s been. Firstly, some Thai expert tells us there is nothing for Bangkokians to worry about. A few hours later, the statement gets counteracted by another expert who says parts of Bangkok are going to be under a meter of water - probably by lunchtime so get out while there is still hope! Floodwalls have been built using giant sandbags. Dykes have been patched up. Floodwalls have sprung leaks or been destroyed by angry mobs fed up with wading around in chest-deep water (and who can blame them) And in many areas, residents have been told to evacuate and not to worry about their property and belongings because the police will keep a watchful eye on them. This by the way, is the same police who have been told by the government to maintain order and yet seem to suddenly disappear when residents start smashing up floodwalls.</p>\n<p>And while I\'m on the topic, I keep reading about residents wading around in chest-deep water or water that\'s up to their knees. Surely it depends how tall you are? I mean knee-high to an American basketball player is going to be something else to an Amazonian pygmy. Not that there are many Amazonian pygmies living in Nonthaburi but I\'m sure you get my point.</p>\n<p>In short, the news changes by the hour depending on who you listen to. I came to the rapid conclusion that no one\'s got the first fucking clue. Perhaps it\'s best if I stopped reading The Bangkok Post website altogether and adopt a policy of &lsquo;whatever will come, will come\' because the media reporting and general scaremongering have been nothing short of a disgrace - none more so than the choice of headlines. \"Thonburi\'s Doomed\" is one that springs to mind and one I\'m sure gave a few thousand people sleepless nights. These were headlines chosen by a Bangkok Post employee who obviously gained pleasure from pulling the legs off spiders as a child.</p>\n<p>In truth, The Bangkok Post has always loved a good flood. I was living in Bangkok at the time of the last &lsquo;great flood\' in the mid 1990s. Although it was nothing compared to the flood crisis we are facing at the moment, The Post took great pleasure in warning us about &lsquo;The Northern Run-off\' - and oh boy, did they milk it. Every single day, they put a countdown graphic on the front page of the newspaper proclaiming in the first instance there were \'72 days until the run-off reaches Bangkok\'. The following day the graphic would read \'71 days to go\' and so on and so forth. It was like waiting for another planet to collide with the earth. Cometh the day when great tidal waves of floodwater were supposed to hit the city, I think people living in two sois near the river might have got their feet damp. OK I\'m probably being flippant, but I don\'t recall once having to take my shoes and socks off.</p>\n<p>I never forgave The Bangkok Post for that. 72 nights I had tossed and turned in bed and all for nothing. I can place hand on heart and honestly say that I have never bought a copy since. I even feel a sense of self-betrayal when I pick one up to while away the time in a dentist\'s surgery.</p>\n<p>I suppose I should be grateful that I am still living in a province that\'s dry because some of the flood stories from elsewhere in Thailand have been truly heartbreaking. None more so than the tale of Khun Nattapong, a factory manager who works with my wife at a Japanese company in Samut Prakarn. I\'ve met Nattapong or &lsquo;Nat\' several times at various functions, usually when my wife invites me and I can\'t think of an excuse to get out of it.</p>\n<p>Nat is a large, round, jovial character and the kind of guy you instantly warm to. He\'ll often spot me from the other side of a function room and take pity on the &lsquo;token farang\' by coming over for a chat. He\'s a staunch Liverpool supporter, I\'m Manchester United, so there is always ten minutes of good-natured banter between us.</p>\n<p>When I first met Nat, he told me that he had been a hotel manager in Phuket at the very time that the tsunami hit. In fact, he managed a hotel located right on the seafront - directly in the tsunami\'s line of fire. Nat has this wonderful story of being trapped in a room full of rising seawater and his life flashing before him. As the water level reached his bottom lip and Nat thought that this was pretty much the end, the gods looked down on him and the water level went no higher. Nat somehow miraculously survived. Surely that would be one water-related story that would last any man a lifetime - but apparently not.</p>\n<p>Nat\'s elderly parents live in a riverside housing estate near Pathum Thani. It was one of the first areas of Bangkok to be hit when the flood made its way down from Ayutthaya. And we all know how bad that was. His parents\' house was inundated by a meter of water in no time and they moved their possessions up to the second floor and sat tight. Still the water went higher and eventually they called Nat in a state of distress to tell him that the water level was almost up to the first floor ceiling. Nat raced to the house with the emergency services to rescue his parents. His mother was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties brought on by the stress of the situation (she\'s still very poorly I\'m told) His father simply refused to leave the house. \"I\'ve lived here all my life. I\'m not abandoning it now\". Old people get attached to things. This we know of course.</p>\n<p>Nat eventually persuaded his father to leave but it took a superhuman effort. The last I heard, you can just about make out the roof of the house. The rest is submerged under three meters of swirling black water. I asked for an update on the situation from my wife. \"There\'s going to be one hell of a decorating job\" Nat had told her.</p>\n<p>You could safely say that this man\'s life has been haunted by water.<br />_______________________________________________________________</p>\n<p>Actually, I managed to escape the flood crisis for a couple of weeks, if escape is the right word to use. I selfishly went back to England to see my brother and hopefully have a bit of a holiday at the same time. My wife and I had already moved much of our furniture and stuff upstairs a few days before I left but theoretically I was still abandoning ship and leaving her to take care of business. We were both aware of the dangers she might be facing alone so with my suitcase packed and my passport tucked away in a secret pocket, I made one last gallant attempt to reassure her.<br /><br />\"I won\'t go if you don\'t want me to. Let\'s face this crisis together\"</p>\n<p>She grabbed my hand, cried tears of joy, gave me a big hug and told me I was the most wonderful husband a woman could wish for. Actually I\'m joking. Her exact words were \"bugger off, you\'ll only be getting in the way\"</p>\n<p>And I have to say she was probably right. I mean can you imagine me in an evacuation center? No internet connection, no football results, and a diet of street-food eaten straight out of plastic bags and washed down with lukewarm bottled water. I would be moaning about everything and everyone - especially the fact that I could be in a nice dry English pub nursing a pint of best bitter.</p>\n<p>That\'s not to say being in England wasn\'t stressful. Once my body clock had adjusted to British summertime, I began a daily ritual of checking the Thai websites at six in the morning for any flood news updates and then calling my wife on Skype in the late afternoon.</p>\n<p>The moment my back was turned, my wife went about turning our modest two-storey home into her very own flood relief shelter. She hauled cartons of milk and bottles of drinking water up to the bedroom and unplugged the television. Little did I know but that was just the beginning.</p>\n<p>\"What else have you done today?\" I casually enquired.</p>\n<p>\"I\'ve put plastic sheets up against the front and back door and sealed them with industrial silicon\" she replied.</p>\n<p>\"So you decided not to seal the entrances with sandbags?\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh no, the sandbags are coming tomorrow\"</p>\n<p>She then went on to say that we could only enter and exit the house through a side window and the downstairs toilet was now out of bounds. I may have fallen off the chair at this point.</p>\n<p>\"Why is the downstairs toilet out of bounds?\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, very often the floodwater can come up through the toilet so I\'ve put a plastic sheet over the toilet bowl and weighed it down with stones and your favorite earthenware vase. By the way, when are you coming home?\"</p>\n<p>I wasn\'t sure at that moment whether I even had a home to come back to. Did I even want to return? There were some days when I would chat to my wife on-line and she would be optimistic - other days less so. The real low point was when she pointed out the dangers of crocodiles lurking in the floodwater. She reminded me that our home was located dangerously close to Thailand\'s largest crocodile farm and apparently crocodiles love a good flood. It has something to do with swimming and freedom. She had also heard that the farm\'s current star attraction was the world\'s largest crocodile in captivity and if I didn\'t believe her, I could check it for myself in the Guinness Book of Records. It was all strangely comforting.</p>\n<p>But here I am, back in Samut Prakarn, typing away at the computer, and still waiting for the floods to arrive. One expert has said East Bangkok could experience flooding in the next seven days while another expert has said fourteen. A third expert has recommended we move to somewhere like Malaysia.</p>\n<p>Here we go again.</p>\n</p>','','2011-11-09 05:32:28',1,'2011-11-09 05:32:28','2011-11-09 19:07:30'),(6679,20,'Whatever happened to the shopping mall teacher?','whatever-happened-to-the-shopping-mall-teacher','Teaching for 300 baht an hour as the rest of the world enjoys itself','They are the shopping mall English teachers - gliding like pale, undernourished phantoms amid the hordes of weekend Thai shoppers.

I know how desperate and soul-destroying it can be.\n','<p>You invariably see them ordering the cheapest set meal in KFC or McDonalds. Sometimes they\'ll even pay the extra ten baht to be supersized. They are the shopping mall English teachers - gliding like pale, undernourished phantoms amid the hordes of weekend Thai shoppers.</p>\n<p>And as those same Thai shoppers take a break from trying on pricey designer clothes to enjoy a Starbucks coffee and muffin or a cream-infused &eacute;clair at Beard Papas, the English teacher shuffles by and stands out like a nun in a red light district.</p>\n<h3>Teacher spotting</h3>\n<p>Years ago, when English language school chains like British American and ECC seemed to have branches in every single Bangkok shopping mall, the mall English teacher was a relatively common sight. Perhaps it\'s a sign of the times, but they seem so much rarer these days. But on the occasion I do spot a farang in a crumpled shirt and tie, walking aimlessly around a shopping mall, I instinctively know he\'s not part of some retail development team. He\'s clearly a chalkie - probably a children\'s teacher.</p>\n<p>The shopping mall teacher has just spent two hours showing flashcards to a bunch of unruly kids who have spent the whole time fighting and pinching each other or crying and shitting themselves.</p>\n<p>After lunch there will be even more of it. More kids, more crying....and probably more shit.</p>\n<p>And when parents ask how their precious offspring is doing, no one really wants the truth. That\'s the life of a weekend shopping mall teacher - babysitting kids and sucking up to their parents is basically the sum total of the job description.</p>\n<h3>Been there, done that</h3>\n<p>I see a shopping mall English teacher and I instinctively want to reach out and hug them. I want to tell them that everything is going to be OK. Nothing lasts forever. I want to assure them that they won\'t still be doing this in twenty years time and still getting paid 300 baht an hour for their efforts. Surely the world can\'t be that cruel.</p>\n<p>But the main reason I empathize with the shopping mall teacher is because I was once one myself. I know how desperate and soul-destroying the job can be.</p>\n<p>I once worked in one of the swankiest shopping malls on Sukhumwit Road - Times Square. Back then, it was one of the jewels in Bangkok\'s retail crown. I walked around it a few days ago for the first time in years. I can\'t imagine why anyone would want to go there.</p>\n<p>The ground floor used to have a restaurant that specialized in tiny, overpriced portions of food and milk shakes and occasionally had a pianist who tinkled the ivories while genteel Japanese ladies sipped green tea and tittered at each other\'s tales. Now it\'s just an empty space.</p>\n<p>Above the restaurant were several floors of retail space containing every kind of shop that you couldn\'t possibly ever want or need. Places where you could take photos of your dog dressed up as a film star. Shops that sold beauty products made from the gunge extracted from the bottom of The Dead Sea and sold for six thousand dollars a jar. And clothes shops that would put a pair of shoes and a shirt in the window and call it a display.</p>\n<h3>Time ticks slowly</h3>\n<p>I\'ve browsed in these shops purely to kill time but it would eventually dawn on you that neither your face nor bank balance singled you out as &lsquo;the right sort of customer\' and you were politely told to get lost.</p>\n<p>There were no price tags on anything of course. If you had to ask the price, then you couldn\'t afford it.</p>\n<p>Most times, shops were either closed or in darkness - classic vanity businesses that only ever opened when the owner could be bothered to get her arse out of bed and drive into town.</p>\n<p>Times Square was a miserable place.</p>\n<p>Holed up on the 24th floor in a claustrophobic language school and going slowly stir crazy, these retail establishments were my only escape. Lord knows how many times I stood in front of a window display of Swarovski crystal decanters, playing pocket billiards and gazing at my own sad reflection.</p>\n<p>How many times did I stand outside &lsquo;Oriental Beauty\' contemplating the ten-week spa package - or in front of the cosmetic dental surgery weighing up the option to have 120,000 baht implants to fill the gap in my mouth that the students all laughed and pointed at.</p>\n<h3>Godsends</h3>\n<p>Only Asia Books and Boots were the two stores where normal people went. They were a godsend for the shopping mall English teacher who had four hours to kill before his next lesson.</p>\n<p>Boots was always a good place to waste time in but once you had told the over-powdered, transsexual shop assistant that you were only browsing, the atmosphere would turn creepy and you would start picking up bottles of honey and eucalyptus foot rub for the sheer hell of it.</p>\n<p>You had by now outstayed your welcome. The pharmacist would peer over his glasses and start glaring at you suspiciously and all you could do was smile back and shift uneasily between the tubes of nipple cream and the perfumed panty liners. Eventually you would buy a can of Coke to justify your presence and eke out the transaction for as long as possible.</p>\n<p>On a good day you could string out Asia Books for at least half an hour. Asia Books is a fine chain of booksellers but even to this day the Times Square branch comes across as the one that Asia Books forgot. I\'m sure it must send staff there just to be punished. \"OK that\'s the third time you\'ve been late so we\'re sending you to Times Square for a month\"</p>\n<p>There was always a display stand in front of the shop that had the strangest selection of discounted books imaginable - with titles such as &lsquo;Living with Incontinence\' or &lsquo;An Idiot\'s Guide to Dwarf Tossing\'</p>\n<p>To be honest things improved very little inside the shop and the store only got three types of &lsquo;customer\' anyway - the tourist sheltering from the rain or looking for a Pattaya guidebook, the person who was there to take advantage of the complimentary mints - and of course, the mall English teacher killing time.</p>\n<p>Times Square Building Sukhumwit never had a fast food joint but in recent times I\'ve sat in the KFC at shopping malls such as Seacon Square and Central Lard Phrao, and always loved that moment when the shopping mall English teacher has walked in to order lunch.</p>\n<h3>Lord of the manor</h3>\n<p>\"Mr Brian - Sawatdee Kha\" The staff cry out in unison the moment Mr Brian crosses the threshold.</p>\n<p>Everyone knows Mr Brian - the girls serving at the counter, the guy cooking the chicken out back, the delivery boy, the girl mopping the floor.</p>\n<p>Mr Brian accepts the adulation and in turn performs a little dance with arms outstretched and delivers his own rousing &lsquo;Sawatdee Khap\"</p>\n<p>This is Mr Brian\'s domain. It\'s here that he\'s king, if only for five minutes. Suddenly the last minute student cancellations resulting in no pay are all forgotten as Brian basks in the limelight.</p>\n<p>The reason Mr Brian is so well known is because he goes there for lunch on virtually every working day. It\'s not that he lacks the imagination to try somewhere new. He just loves the comfort that familiarity brings. The mall English teacher is nearly always a creature of habit.</p>\n<h3>TEFL goldfish bowl</h3>\n<p>I feel most sorry for those mall teachers who work in full view of the passing crowds. They work in a sort of &lsquo;TEFL goldfish bowl\'. Shoppers and everyday city folk can peer into the mall teacher\'s classroom as they go up and down escalators and see what really goes on in the world of English teaching.</p>\n<p>For the shopping mall teacher this sometimes create its own pressure as the teacher strives to keep his whiteboard tidy and the students actively engaged. The teacher who is teaching behind glass walls in the middle of a shopping mall is a living, breathing advertisement for the language school that he or she works for.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The weekend mall teacher lives in a world of confused reality. As they stroll around a shopping complex, the \'normal folk\' are all immersed in their weekend activities. They\'ve earned their coin from Monday to Friday and are now out enjoying life\'s simple pleasures.</p>\n<p>Old friends discuss Sunday fishing plans over iced lattes. Young lovers hold hands while they window-shop. Noisy families fill their trays with curry puffs in Yamazaki and share teetering gooey sundaes in Swensens. It\'s like the world is throwing a party and the only person who hasn\'t been invited is the shopping mall teacher.</p>\n<p>Let\'s hear it for the shopping mall English teacher - sadly a dying breed.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/mall2.jpg','2015-02-05 19:41:57',1,'2015-02-05 19:41:57','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(6683,63,'From Thailand to Cambodia','from-thailand-to-cambodia','It was time to say goodbye Thailand and hello Cambodia','The last two months of my life have been a whirlwind of changes, emotions and excitement.

The end of the term also signaled the end of my contract with the language company I was employed with and the start of new adventures. What kind of adventures? Well, after a week down south playing on the beaches of TonSai and Railay, I made a tough choice: to say&nbsp;\"sawadeeka\" to my beloved Thailand and move next-door to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t a choice that left me sad as I have just as much love for Cambodia as I do Thailand, but I did shed a few tears as I said my farewells as the bus drove down the streets that had been a part of my life for the last year. Thailand was my first foray into Asia, and the Thais were gracious hosts that made me fall in love with Asian culture and made it easy for me to continue living in Asia instead of running back home with my tail between my legs.</p>\n<p>So, now I am going on 1+ years of living abroad in Asia in two different countries. Despite their proximity, there are vast differences between Thailand and Cambodia including in the level of English both in and out of schools. My first time coming to Cambodia from Thailand was in December of last year when I went to Siem Reap and I was astounded by the level of English spoken by Cambodians, especially children; it was fluid, well-pronounced and much better than the English I had heard spoken in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>The second time I went was to Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh and I felt similarly about the level of English. But, the last month living and working a school in Phnom Penh has brought to light one important detail; the places I went to before in Cambodia were major tourist destinations and the people I was talking to had regularly interaction with English speakers, including the many street kids wandering the streets looking for plastic bottles or selling bracelets. My interaction with Thais in and outside of Bangkok had been more with locals not accustomed to a large volume of tourists and farangs and looking back, comparing my students with minimal contact with foreigners to other kids, albeit poor, who are exposed to lots of foreigners speaking English, was a bit unfair.</p>\n<p>Cambodia still suffers from the same maladies the Thai education system has; rote learning based on repeating what the teacher says and little emphasis on creativity. It\'s a struggle to get my Cambodian students to understand that when someone asks, \"How are you?\" you don\'t always have to reply with, \"I\'m fine , thank you and you?\". It\'s been drilled into them so much that its near impossible to get them to say something else, like, \"I\'m tired\" or \"I\'m sick\" without a lot of prompting. They are also taught to say the English word and the Khmer word simultaneously, just like in Thailand. So, when they are taught the English word \"bird\" for example, it becomes \"birdjahp\" or in Thai, \"birdnock\". If you have taught in Thailand before, you know how frustrating it can be when you peak inside a classroom and hear them mimicking the teacher as she rattles off vocabulary like this.</p>\n<p>From my experience, the level of writing and reading is higher in Thailand. I\'ve been quite shocked by a few of my Cambodian students who are 7-9 years old and can not write their name in English and I\'ve been even more shocked by their inability to even copy English words off the board correctly. I had Thai students as young as 4 who were able to write their names in English from memory, so recently, I was a bit flustered when I saw an older Cambodian student sitting at their desk twirling their pencil as everyone else wrote their names.</p>\n<p>But all things are relative. I taught in all private schools in Bangkok and so, I don\'t know what the level of English was of kids who went to government schools. Cambodia is also poorer than Thailand in general and therefore, I don\'t think the schools are as well organized and the amount of Western teachers is not as great as in Thailand. The schools here are sorely in need of native speakers to improve pronunciation and phonics but the pay isn\'t as competitive as in Bangkok, so the turnover rate of native speaking teachers is high.</p>\n<p>I think schools in both countries suffer from rote learning and teaching students to be followers instead of leaders. I think if more native speakers ventured abroad to teach conversational English and challenged their students to think critically about what they are learning, the level of English would improve thrice-fold and both Cambodia and Thailand\'s youth would benefit tremendously.</p>\n<p>If you enjoy my ajarn blogs, then feel free to <a href=\"mailto:Jessicawatson14@gmail.com\">e-mail me</a>.

INSERT INTO `ajarn_blog_posts` VALUES (6857,10,'Check in at Terminal 21','check-in-at-terminal-21','Bangkok has a sparkling new shopping mall - and it\'s well worth a visit!','If you\'re based in Bangkok and you enjoy a bit of window shopping, you could do a lot worse than spend a few hours browsing around the capital\'s newest and most talked about shopping mall - Terminal 21 - located on the corner of Sukhumwit 19, where If memory serves me correct, a Volvo dealership used to stand. ','<p>If you\'re based in Bangkok and you enjoy a bit of window shopping, you could do a lot worse than spend a few hours browsing around the capital\'s newest and most talked about shopping mall - Terminal 21 - located on the corner of Sukhumwit 19, where If memory serves me correct, a Volvo dealership used to stand.</p>\n<p>My wife and I spent four very happy hours wandering up and down escalators on Saturday and it\'s quite possibly the best shopping center I have ever seen. But my advice would be to go as soon as possible and experience the Terminal 21 shopping mall while it\'s still got the buzz.</p>\n<p>The moment you enter Terminal 21, you realize that the developers set out to make it a completely unique shopping experience. And oh boy have they succeeded. On the ground floor, the girls working the information desk are decked out as flight attendants from a bygone era in tight-fitting retro uniforms complete with blue cap worn at a seductively jaunty angle. They look rather like something from a 70\'s Gerry Anderson kids show - think Thunderbirds or Stingray puppets - but with no strings attached. I found myself wanting to ask a dumb question just so I could watch their lips move.</p>\n<h3>Cities of the world</h3>\n<p>Each of the half a dozen or so floors has a &lsquo;city theme\'. You begin with Rome on the ground floor with its impressive marble facades and Roman pillars. From there you can ride the escalator up to Paris, where quaint cobbled streets and fashionably distressed shop-fronts await you. Then once you\'ve had your fill of strolling along the banks of The Seine, you can move up again and take in Tokyo and London.</p>\n<p>On the London floor, there are countless nods towards the home of the union jack; classic red telephone boxes, beefeaters standing proudly in their sentry boxes, old style pillar boxes correct to the last detail and even an outsize double-decker London bus. There are enough smiles on each floor to lift the spirits of even the most jaded shopper.</p>\n<p>With so many photo opportunities around, you are left wondering however if anyone is actually doing any shopping. Terminal 21 has become the talk-of-the-town on the popular Thai discussion forums and everywhere you looked on Saturday, there were teenage couples and groups of youngsters posing next to samurai warriors, leaning against the Golden Gate Bridge and jostling for space inside a fetching red and white striped lighthouse.</p>\n<h3>An interesting mix of retail</h3>\n<p>However, the real difference and the main attractions of Terminal 21 are the retail shops themselves. Most of the retail floor space is taken up by independent traders all renting small shop units on a monthly basis. So what you get is an incredibly eclectic mix of designer clothes, unusual accessories and one-off businesses specializing in the weird and wonderful (I saw one shop that sold nothing but bags and boxes made from old cement bags and another shop specializing in studded leather gear and everything for the closet gothic)</p>\n<p>There\'s a surprise around every corner. It\'s a bit like shopping at the Weekend Market but - and I mean no disrespect to Chatujak because it\'s a wonderful place - in a much nicer environment.</p>\n<p>And how refreshing it was to see a Bangkok shopping mall that doesn\'t hit you with the usual suspects as soon as you walk in.</p>\n<p>Frankly, I can live without straggly lines of Thai families queuing outside MK Suki waiting to celebrate Grandma\'s 80th birthday. And the same goes for Sizzler, KFC, Swensens, McDonalds and Pizza Hut. You know exactly who they are by now. And I can live without the bright fluorescent lights of Boots the Chemists with its squeaky-clean staff and its buy-one-get-one-free shampoos that have been drop-kicked into their display stands and I can do without Watsons, Yamazaki, Asia Books and all those other retail giants of the Thai high street that do nothing except deflate us with their depressing familiarity.</p>\n<p>If I want any of those places, I know exactly where they are.</p>\n<p>For those who need their weekly fix of Yamazaki curry puffs and Sizzler salad bar, Terminal 21 does have many, if not all of the usual suspects mentioned above, but they are on the fringes. They are not as &lsquo;in your face\' as in other shopping malls. You have to go looking for them.</p>\n<p>And as for the likes of Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton - and all those other high-end designer stores that I can\'t believe people want to spend time in - well, let\'s just say they are conspicuous by their absence. And for that I\'m eternally grateful.</p>\n<p>One thing that will come as a pleasant surprise to you is the prices of the merchandise on offer. With obviously so much money being plowed into this exciting venture, coupled with a noticeable lack of price tags on the items in the shop windows, you are instinctively afraid to ask about the cost of that rather nice T-shirt on the second shelf, but I ended up buying a dozen unusual T-shirts in four of five different independent stores and never paid more than 300 baht for any of them.</p>\n<p>My biggest concern for Terminal 21 is simple - can it last? I got into conversation with several of the vendors, who were only too happy to chat when they realized I appreciated the stuff they were selling. Without exception, they all seemed dubious about whether they could sell enough stock and make enough profit to claw back the basic 30,000 baht a month rent. Not to mention earn enough money on top to provide them with a living wage.</p>\n<h3>A real find</h3>\n<p>Occupying one of the smaller retail units was a young Thai guy selling T-shirts featuring famous music artists. He had t-shirts of The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Stone Roses, The Velvet Underground, Radiohead - all the guv\'nors you might say. I\'ve long been a fan and collector of this kind of merchandise and the seller seemed eager to get my feedback when he saw me fall lovingly on a Joy Division &lsquo;Unknown Pleasures\' t-shirt featuring the original early 80\'s album cover.</p>\n<p>He told me that he had his own silkscreen printing factory in the Bangkok suburbs and had the capacity to produce thousands of t-shirts a week. But he didn\'t have the buyers. Exporting the t-shirts was the direction he wanted to go in because ultimately that\'s where the money would be made. He confessed to me that selling two dozen shirts a day in Terminal 21 was barely going to cover his rent.</p>\n<p>I noticed that he had a Smiths &lsquo;The Queen is Dead\' t-shirt (UK band &lsquo;The Smiths\' made the album in the 1980s and many fans and Smiths aficionados consider it their finest work) however the t-shirt was white text on black cotton. The original &lsquo;The Queen is Dead\' album cover was dark green. So therefore the t-shirt needed to be dark green. Had it been that colour, I would have bought it myself in a heartbeat.</p>\n<p>The seller started making notes. \"Get your money on Stone Roses merchandise\" I told him. \"They\'ve just reformed after two decades away and their UK three concerts sold out within an hour. But as for a t-shirt design, you won\'t go wrong with the first album cover\"</p>\n<p>I found the attitudes of all the sellers friendly and welcoming. No one minded if you picked up every item in the shop, messed up their displays and then walked out without buying anything. Those whose wares you showed an interest in were generous with their time.</p>\n<p>What a nice contrast to walking around somewhere like Mahboonkrong or Central Chidlom, where the assistants all look jaded and world-weary and would rather carry on eating lunch than rummage around in the stock-room to find you something in an extra large.</p>\n<p>Feeling a little peckish, the wife and I ventured up to the restaurants on the top two floors. Again, aside from a nice-looking food court, there are plenty of restaurant names you don\'t see all that often. Pepper Lunch is there. The Manhattan Fish Market serves fish and chips and fried seafood dishes. There is even a branch of Olivie, my favorite Italian mall restaurant when I fancy some tasty pasta. There were also many one-off restaurants whose names escape me now.</p>\n<p>So all in all, Terminal 21 is well worth a visit, particularly if you are a clothes shopper and looking for something a bit different. It\'s a very welcome addition to the Bangkok shopping scene and I for one applaud the developers and the &lsquo;ideas men\' for having the balls to create something so unique.</p>\n<p>But go now - it may not last forever, at least not in its present form. I\'m certainly keeping my fingers crossed because it would be so sad to see Terminal 21 fail.</p>','','2011-11-27 06:06:13',1,'2011-11-27 06:06:13','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(6891,52,'December 2011','december-2011','All the latest promotions from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','In this months TEFL course news blog, we\'ve got some real Christmas crackers.

It is something everyone struggles with both in life and teaching; motivation to learn, motivation to forge ahead and motivation to keep pushing on even when you are starting to feel a bit hopeless.</p>\n<p>Motivation in the classroom, both from the teachers and the students, is essential for learning but it is a tricky balance to strike since the two are so interconnected; if the teacher loses motivation, so do the students and if the students lose motivation, so does the teacher.</p>\n<p>Recently, I have been trying to strike this balance with my current students; the ones who are older than 5 and have realized that school is no longer about singing songs and coloring pictures.</p>\n<h3>Rewards</h3>\n<p>I\'ll be honest, it hasn\'t been easy and I\'ve been wary about how many \"motivational tools\" I use like stickers because I don\'t want to fall into the trap of having them expecting rewards for every single thing they do in every single class.</p>\n<p>Eventually, they need to understand that learning doesn\'t always have physical rewards like a sticker. I remember being just as unmotivated and bored by the material as my current students, but it doesn\'t mean as a teacher, I don\'t get frustrated when the students aren\'t listening to me or not taking the lesson seriously.</p>\n<p>There have certainly been a few cases where I wanted to rip my hair out, or just walk out, or scream at the top of my lungs. But, we all know that those reactions are not useful, and instead I put on my game face and tried to get as creative as possible.</p>\n<h3>Student engagement</h3>\n<p>I have been incorporating some movement in the classroom, i.e. having them float around the classroom and asking questions of each other or playing charades, and I have seen some improvement from that. I remember being annoyed in class by the rigidity of sitting in one place for a long period of time, and so I think getting the students to move around and bit and interact with each other keeps them better engaged with the material.</p>\n<p>I\'ve also had some success with team-building exercises and some healthy competition; they seem more motivated to learn the material if they are competing against someone else. These implementations have kept the class a bit more lively, and I\'ve seen a bit more interest in the \"boring\" subjects like spelling and writing.</p>\n<h3>Hangman</h3>\n<p>My other suggestion is: discover what makes your students tick. For example, my students LOVE Hangman, so much so that they beg me every class to play. Instead of letting their incessant begging annoy me, I made a deal with them that they get three stars and if they misbehave, don\'t listen or don\'t take focus on the material I will erase a star and if all three stars are erased, then we won\'t play a game of Hangman at the end of class.</p>\n<p>So far, it has worked and now I have other students monitoring their friends behavior because they know if one misbehaves, all of them don\'t get to play a game.</p>\n<p>I also have a student I give one-on-one lessons to who struggles with motivation and he even told me flat-out he doesn\'t want to learn. The same day he told me that, I had brought in a brand-new lesson plan that was part of a series based on a detective story and I was really excited about it, so that was a huge blow to my motivation.</p>\n<p>Well, I remember that the student likes to draw, so I asked him to draw me pictures depicting the vocabulary words and the story and voila! The student\'s interest in the lesson returned, he retained the vocabulary words and the lesson was saved and we are both looking forward to the next one!</p>\n<h3>What can the teacher do?</h3>\n<p>Find something that interests your students, use material that intrigues then and get their attention by using a bit of movement in the classroom.</p>\n<p>It won\'t be easy at first, I know, but persevere and and when you get really frustrated, just remember what it was like when you were a student and laugh at the irony of now being a teacher and being frustrated with the same antics you and your friends pulled many, many, many years ago!</p>','','2015-09-10 06:00:36',1,'2015-09-10 06:00:36','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(6899,59,'The queen of fruits and her vanishing land','the-queen-of-fruits-and-her-vanishing-land','How much do we know about this fruit that people either love or hate?','Although Pak Kret is noted mainly for its pots, it once had acres of sumptuous durian plantations and was known as the Land of the Queen of Fruits.

As my neighbors have told me - it\'s been a once in a lifetime event. However, I am just curious as to what the implications could be on the district where I live now and the product it was once known for.</p>\n<p>Pak Kret is one of the five districts of Nonthaburi. It\'s a commercial area with several furniture and garment factories, only 15 kilometers north of Bangkok. Travelling by bus, it\'s approximately 30-45 minutes on the expressway depending on the traffic. Pak Kret is noted for exquisite and unique pots but it\'s also renowned for its biggest exhibition arena and convention center - The Impact Arena. Another well-known place to tourists and local enthusiasts alike is Koh Ket Island. Anyone can take a two-minute boat ride to the island, visit the museum housing the relics of the province, see the temple, buy local food and souvenirs, dine at cozy restaurants overlooking the Chaopraya River, bike around the island, and if you are very lucky - catch a live open-air concert!</p>\n<p>Although Pak Kret is noted mainly for its pots, it once had acres of sumptuous durian plantations and was known as the Land of the Queen of Fruits. My American friend who has lived in Thailand for more than 30 years and also my Thai friends who have spent all their lives in Pak Kret, all call it &lsquo;The Land of the Durian\'</p>\n<p>An old Thai woman from Pak Kret calls the area The Fruit Basket of Nonthaburi. The district used to supply the entire province with its daily consumption of bananas, mangoes, oranges, mangosteens and pineapples. When modernization came, foreign investors and real estate developers offered millions of baht to orchard owners. Buyers turned it into a land of condos and housing estates. Land was swallowed up by real estate development and little remained for the traditional fruit growers.</p>\n<p>When I visited Koh Ket Island recently, I had an opportunity to talk to an 80-year old woman who owned a reasonable size orchard growing mangoes, lychees, rambutan, and durian. She said she could offer me any fruit in season but not durian. I was puzzled. Why couldn\'t she give me even one durian? It turned out that her durians had already been pre-ordered. This means while the fruit is still young, buyers had already given money for down payment and some had been even paid in full. What a great way to earn money!</p>\n<p>I thought it was only in the Philippines where a certain fruit called lanzones are sold while they are still hanging on the branches. This lady\'s durians cost 1,000 to 1,500 baht each depending on size. Who was paying that much I thought? My curiosity turned to disbelief. How could a smelly and spiny fruit cost that much?</p>\n<p>In order to find out the truth about durian, I asked the Thai teachers at my school and they confirmed it was true. In fact, there are even durians that can sell for as much as 5,000 baht a piece. Who would eat a 5,000 baht durian? It must be so special and really tastes like no other durian.</p>\n<p>The common durian comes from places as far afield as Rayong, Chantaburi, Thonburi, Trat, and Prachunburi. I really wanted to find outmore about this intriguing fruit, I searched on the internet and an article or two confirmed that there are varieties of durian that are really expensive. Kaan yao (long stem) the most delicious, costs 7,000 a piece and Monthong (golden pillow) about 5,000 a piece.</p>\n<p>Buyers of these pricey varieties often give them as presents to their bosses or their boss\' wives. To quote one expert - \"Those who buy the most expensive durians don\'t eat them. Those who eat the most common variety do not buy them\"<br />The 1985 floods are another reason why durians are not planted anymore in Pak Kret anymore. After the flood, fruit growers no longer planted durians because they don\'t grow in dirty water. Fungi in the water attacks the roots and affects the fruit. As one fruit grower told me - \"It is cheaper to buy durian from the market than to grow it\" <br />Now I know why there aren\'t durian trees in the place once known as \"Land of the Queen of Fruits.\"</p>\n<p>Before I end, let me share a joke which my American friend told me. A pilot in Bangkok was called by his boss to fly a cargo plane to Hong Kong the next morning. The cargo was pigs and durians. Although an unpleasant task, as a dedicated pilot, he agreed to do so. But on his arrival at the airport, his boss told him that the flight had just been cancelled. The pilot asked why, and his boss said. \"Because the pigs refused to fly with the durians.\"</p>\n<p>If you haven\'t tasted durian, give it a try. Look for the Kaan Yao or Monthong variety. Although they cost a fortune, they will be worth trying. Who knows? You might develop a taste for them. If you ask me if I have I tasted durian then the answer is yes.. I first tasted durian here in Thailand and now I love its succulent taste - despite its pungent smell.</p>\n<p>Durians may well be banned on planes and in hotels, but I\'ll tell you this. Before I leave Thailand for good, I must taste the Kaan Yao or Monthong variety. If you\'ve got one, &lsquo;Pom chim dai mai?\" (Can I have a taste?)</p>','','2011-12-01 23:07:26',1,'2011-12-01 23:07:26','2011-12-02 13:01:27'),(6933,53,'Cross-cultural education for teachers','cross-cultural-education-for-teachers','Adding to opinion and speculation about the teaching industry','When writing about the ESL industry and Western English teachers in Thailand or other Asian countries, it should be kept in mind the industry is extremely fragmented, unregulated and there is a startling lack of reliable statistics or data about the industry and the teachers working in the industry.','<p>When writing about the ESL industry and Western English teachers in Thailand or other Asian countries, it should be kept in mind the industry is extremely fragmented, unregulated and there is a startling lack of reliable statistics or data about the industry and the teachers working in the industry.\n<p>One could think of this as a handicap in writing about the industry, but on the other hand it allows for a variety of opinions and speculation with little chance of the writer being \"proven\" wrong. In other words, one could say it gives the writer a license to make stuff up.</p>\n<p>So one can think of this piece as adding to the opinion and speculation of the industry and teachers based on personal experience being in and around the industry for well over a decade, but not really having any solid statistical evidence as a basis for the speculation.</p>\n<p>In doing research for some of my writings on expatriates, a common opinion was found about the importance of training in working across cultures in preparing workers to function well and adjust to working in a different cultural environment.</p>\n<p>Yet few ESL teachers have any real cross-cultural training or preparation for working in a different cultural environment. A personal observation is it appears on average ESL teachers have more difficulties adapting to working across cultures than do expatriates in other industries who go through more preparation for working cross-culturally.</p>\n<p>Therefore it is speculated that most ESL teachers would benefit from additional education on and exposure to some of the concepts and ideas used in cross-cultural training programs.</p>\n<p>While experience is important and there is nothing that can replace experience in gaining cross-cultural work skills, so is education important, as our education often sets the frameworks in which we use to categorize our experiences in order to make sense of them and learn from them. As educators, it is assumed most of us appreciate the importance of education and the positive effect it has had on our own ability to use our experiences wisely and learn from them.</p>\n<p>It is suggested many problems ESL teachers have in adjusting to their new environment could be lessened by understanding some of the underlying assumptions of the different cultures and the differences in these assumptions. For example, many Western teachers in Thailand have a problem with the \"no-fail\" policy in Thai schools and fight against it. Yet if one puts this policy in the cultural context of Thailand being, using Hofstede\'s framework, a more feminine culture, or if one prefers the GLOBE studies categories, a low performance oriented society that places more emphasis on family and harmony in society than Western societies which are high performance oriented cultures which place more emphasis on competitiveness, individualism and materialism, it starts to make sense.</p>\n<p>Another example, it is not uncommon for Western English teachers to experience many problems with the Thai managers and administrators of the schools they work in. It is speculated a basic understanding of the difference in \"power distance\" in Thai society as opposed to Western societies, and using this understanding when approaching one\'s bosses could limit the severity of most the problems many teachers have in this area.</p>\n<p>One of the keys to working across cultures is not only to understand the uniqueness of the \"foreign\" culture one is working in, but also the uniqueness of the culture one comes from. Western cultures, and particularly Anglo-American cultures, are much farther from the world\'s norm than is the culture of Thailand or other Asian countries in many areas that have been measured by researchers. It is not only \"they\" who act strangely and believe in ways influenced by culture, so do \"we.\" Understanding the uniqueness of one\'s own cultural values can be a good starting point in developing an understanding of other worldviews.</p>\n<p>Understanding and appreciating other cultural values does not require one to embrace the new culture and completely abandon the values one has grown up with. However successfully working in a country with a very different culture from one\'s own usually comes from suppressing the desire to attempt to change the values of the foreign culture to match the values of the culture found in one\'s homeland.</p>\n<p>Experience and research seems to indicate the most successful expatriates are those who adapt their behavior to their new environment, take a non-judgmental attitude towards cultural difference yet at the same time hold on to the core values they have grown up with.</p>\n<p>Therefore it is believed some cross-cultural education could benefit most ESL teachers. Of course being an individual who often teaches cross-cultural management, I might be biased in this opinion.</p>\n<p>Education does not always have to be formal education. While it is doubtful most ESL teacher would feel it important enough to pay for a formal cross-cultural training session before (or after) starting an ESL career, there is plenty of good information on the internet or in books which might be helpful.</p>\n<p>Most people read up on the country and culture they are going to, which is obviously a good idea, but also studying some of the frameworks, such as the dimensions of cultures from Hofstede or the more recent GLOBE studies might provide some mental frameworks teachers can use to help them initially in overcoming the culture shock nearly every ESL teacher goes through and also to frame later experiences in a less judgmental and more informed manner.</p>\n<p>Gaining some specific education, either through formal courses or informal self-study on how to work cross-culturally might help in some small way both new and more experienced ESL teachers be more successful in their work and have a more fulfilling experience while working in Thailand or other foreign country.</p>\n</p>\n<p>As far as education and knowledge goes, more is almost always better than less.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of<br /><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking Free from the Colonial Paradigm,</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An Evolutionary Perspective</a>,</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/Business-Practices-in-Southeast-Asia-isbn9780415562027\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>as well as numerous book chapter, academic journal articles, conference papers and other articles on international business and other topics.

Have a read of the full story first.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I thought some of you would be interested in this as I see a lot of crap about teachers on a 35k or 40k pittance or expect that\'s all they can aim for out here.</p>\n<p>\n<p>A mate of mine who moved into my condo last year has been over here for 3 years. He\'s 25 years old, has no degree and works as a teacher in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Anyway, his working week breaks down like this. His Mon-Fri job is as a homeroom teacher in a kindergarten. They have to be on site from 8-3:30, but only teach a one hour lesson during the day, the rest of the time they need to be with the students while the Thai teachers do their conditioning. Lunch is followed by &lsquo;sleep time\' for two hours, when the teachers can play on their computers or do whatever they want.</p>\n<p>Through a standard agency, the teachers earn 35,000 baht a month for an 11-month contract, with an extra month of summer school if they want it (for the same pay) In other words there are no &lsquo;dead\' months when the teachers earn nothing.</p>\n<p>He\'s been at the school for almost 3 years but about two years ago some parents wanted him to come and play with their son in his playroom using English as the language of communication. 500 baht per hour was quite an attractive deal because the work was Monday to Friday and the house was only around the corner from where he lived.</p>\n<p>About a month later the child\'s parent wanted the same deal as the kid. So since then he has been &lsquo;playing\' with the kid for an hour before giving a more serious lesson to the parent. Two hours a day for an extra 1000 baht- five days a week. That\'s an extra 20,000 baht per month and he\'s back in his house for 6pm and has the whole evening to himself.</p>\n<p>About a year ago he took on some Saturday work which is actual teaching in a language center. He was paid 600 baht an hour for six hours work. This added up to an extra 14,400 baht per month on top of the 65,000 baht he was already earning during the week. I\'ve since heard though that he gave up on the Saturdays because he valued his weekend too much and was happy with earning 55K</p>\n<p>He married his Thai girlfriend whom he met while she studied in Australia and they moved over here together three years ago, so he has his visas based on that. She usually takes home between 40-60k depending on commission, so they live quite a good lifestyle on 130-140k p/m. They are both in their mid-20s.</p>\n<p>A total of 21 teaching hours per week, if playing can be counted as teaching, home by 6pm everyday, and Sunday free every week. And a very handy 70k per month.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I often see people complaining or thinking that they can only get some 30-40k a month pittance and thought people would be interested in the reality of how people can help themselves and do okay, despite being a, wait for it.... &lsquo;degreeless Tefler\'.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Interesting thoughts, but I have always said it\'s not about working hard, it\'s about working smart. The work is out there but you need to look on teaching as a business - and you are the product. By all means enjoy your work but utilize your time in the best way possible.</p>\n<p>\n<p>Years ago, I worked for a language center that specialized in preparing Thai students to go and study in America. The students came to us for a one-month intensive English program to study reading, writing and speaking skills.</p>\n<p>From Monday to Friday, I taught six hours a day. I did the morning session from 9.00-12.00, took an hour for lunch and then did the afternoon session from 1.00-4.00. It was a sweet deal. The pay rate was about 300 baht an hour so that meant I earned 36,000 baht for the weekday work alone. Keep in mind that this was 1995 so 36,000 baht went a lot further than it does now.</p>\n<p>However, I was always keen to bump up my earnings and the language center ran evening conversation classes from 6.30-8.30pm mainly for office workers and business people. I decided to take on a conversation class just two nights a week. This extra two nights of teaching got me another 4,800 baht per month - but I wasn\'t working smart. To my mind I had two and a half hours of dead time from when the daytime classes finished at 4pm and the evening class started at 6.30. And then when the evening class finished, I would get home about 9pm, exhausted from such a long day and generally fit for nothing. I actually felt it was that two and a half hour break that was tiring me out more than anything else. And let\'s not forget that whenever you find yourself with a long break, that\'s when you will often kill time by walking around shopping malls and spending money!</p>\n<p>I decided to ditch the evening classes at the language center and teach private students at home. I signed up students to study from 5.30-7.30 and charged them 500 baht an hour.</p>\n<p>So not only was I earning more money - but I was in my own home with the teaching day finished at 7.30pm. That\'s a huge difference to 9pm, when the evening is nigh on over.</p>\n<p>Teachers should look on themselves as a business. You are the boss. You are in control. Decide how much money you realistically need to earn a month - and then find the easiest and most comfortable way to earn it.</p>\n<p>I never wanted to work on the weekends. I have always hated the idea of working a six-day week and for the most part, I never did. But if working six days a week doesn\'t bother you and you need to do so in order to reach your financial target, then go for it. Every teacher will have their own strategy. Just make sure that you are utilizing your valuable time to its fullest potential.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/thumbsup.jpg','2011-12-07 19:47:46',1,'2011-12-07 19:47:46','2011-12-08 10:10:47'),(7135,20,'Software for student tests','software-for-student-tests','How to get the best from your students with on-line tests','The integration of internet and computers with education and English learning is something students find normal, and classrooms without some access to educational software may seem quaint.

Thus, the integration of internet and computers with education and English learning is something students find normal, and classrooms without some access to educational software may seem quaint.

And even as recently as 2009, Laborda and Royo found a group of teachers in Spain were not confident in running online testing in their classes. Let alone making their own tests. This attitude is poised to change as the platforms available to teachers to make and run online tests continue to improve, and I found several applications that are inexpensive and not much more complicated than any of the programs that teachers use regularly such as PowerPoint, or excel.</p>\n<p>The software I surveyed included</p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"http://www.tac-soft.com\">The Multiple Choice Quiz Maker</a></p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http://www.sameshow.com/quiz-creator.html\">QuizCreator</a></p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"http://www.quiz-buddy.com/\">Quiz Buddy</a></p>\n<p>4. <a href=\"http://www.questionmark.com/uk/\">Questionmark</a></p>\n<p>5. <a href=\"http://www.questionwriter.com/\">Question Writer</a></p>\n<p>Two of these had outstanding features: Quizz Creator and Question Writer and the rest of this essay compares the two platforms.</p>\n<p><strong>1. QuizCreator by Wondershare<br /></strong>This is a Chinese-based company that provides a downloadable program that creates Flash quizzes, with the created files being uploaded to your website. It has a wide range of question types and formats and can be published to Internet, CD-ROM, e-mail or Word. The test results are automatically e-mailed to your email address or to their Quiz Management System (for a price). The current cost is $120 for the basic version and $260 USD for the advanced license. The initial cost is cheaper for the basic version than the other leading software, Questionwriter, (although QW has a very basic introductory version) and had easier multimedia integration and the most options for publishing to different formats</p>\n<p><img height=\"318\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/RK3.JPG\" width=\"260\" /></p>\n<p><em>Figure 1. Showing the ways that Wondershare can be published and reported. Screenshot from </em><a href=\"http://www.wondershare.com/pro/quizcreator.html\"><em>Wondershare</em></a><em>, 2011</em></p>\n<p>However, the technical support seemed weaker than QuestionWriter and it does not have a free online depository for tests where data and tests can be stored (The depository costs $99 /year for the cheapest version). It was these later two factors that led me to buy Questionwriter.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Question Writer<br /></strong>The sole product produced by a British company (and winner of the Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Technology 2011) has a sophisticated platform, equal to QuizCreator, and reasonable cost at about $300 for the professional ($175 for the standard version). It even has a free version, although I found the add-ons provided n the professional version to be worth the cost.<br />Naturally it may be that other software are better suited to some teachers or even better all round. What I can say is that it is extremely useful for my own classes. And as many of the other test making software have similar features most of the comments on Question Writer are apply to other software.</p>\n<p>I should note I started out with the standard, went almost immediately to the standard and after one month paid the difference for the professional.</p>\n<p><strong>Reasons for choosing<br /></strong>The main selling point in my case, over QuizCreator, was that the makers provide a website which allows registered users free uploads of the tests they make:</p>\n<p>Question Writer Tracker is a free service from Question Writer. All users of Question Writer can register for the Question Writer Tracker service and use it to track and analyze the results for all your quizzes. By selecting to \'Send Results Via Website to E-mail\' the quiz takers score and responses will, by default, be recorded and stored by the Question Writer Tracker system. You can select to turn this off if required. Question Writer Tracker also provides 100mb free web space where you can upload your quizzes with a single click.</p>\n<p>Both software had randomization and reusability.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/RK5.JPG\" /></p>\n<p><em>Figure 2. For an extra fee the question writer logo can be replaced by your own logo.</em></p>\n<p>The website compiles the scores in an easily assessable way: a major timesaver. Without this software the idea of marking or making a complex 100 questions test (as I often do )- and the effort and waste involved - considering also the photocopy costs would have meant a much shorter test. However, with the randomization button, and the fact that students cannot take the test with them (the link is taken off after testing) (and even one time tokens can be used), means that it can be repeated each semester - and also easily improved and more questions added.

While waiting for a decent engineering job to come along, Mark Thackeray (Sidney Poitier) chooses to teach a bunch of useless no-hopers at a school slap bang in the middle of an East London slum. Everything about Mark is wrong - his posh accent, his skin color and certainly his dress sense but slowly he wins the students round, teaching them how to treat each other with respect. In one memorable scene, the teacher takes the students out into the local community to help old ladies across the road and prove the point that not all teenagers are car-jacking murderers. It might be worth you trying this with your Thai class. Start by telling the students that you are going to take them outside to integrate with older members of the community. If too many students immediately start groaning and complaining that &lsquo;outside is too hot\', ditch the plan and tell them to get their homework books out instead.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Dangerous Minds (1995) Michelle Pfieffer<br /></strong>Gorgeous teacher takes on a tough teaching assignment in an inner city school and finds out that the students would rather dance to rap music, buy and sell crack and throw each other out of the window than listen to some silly cow try to conjugate verbs. Late one evening our Mish comes up with a devious plan and arrives at school next door in skin-tight jeans and a biker\'s leather. Suddenly every student in the class is up for it. She even gets away with disguising a Dylan Thomas poetry lesson as something to do with dealing drugs (now that\'s just sneaky). Are you looking to change the attitude of your students? Then reach for those skinny jeans, blend in more with the hip crowd, and you could be on to a winner. If you\'ve got Michelle Pfeiffer\'s looks and flawless bone structure as well, you\'re laughing.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>The Substitute (1996) Tom Berenger<br /></strong>If scrambling around in video shop bargain bins was never your bag then you would have missed this teacher classic starring b-movie king Tom Berenger. He goes undercover as a substitute teacher in order to bust a dangerous street gang. On the first day of term, one of the more aggressive members of the class decides to throw a screwed up ball of paper at the teacher while he is writing on the blackboard. With an enviable sixth sense, our Tom spins around, catches the ball and throws it back in the student\'s face - only 200 times harder. Cut to student being carried to the first aid room with blood everywhere. Hold on. Something has just struck me. There\'s only one reason you would watch this - to see how many students Tom Berenger can kick the ever living shit out of. Perhaps including the movie in this list wasn\'t one of my better decisions.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"317\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie4.jpg\" width=\"211\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>The Miracle Worker (1962) Anne Bancroft<br /></strong>This was probably made before you were even born but it is one of the greatest teacher movies of all time. It\'s the story of Anne Sullivan\'s dedication to teach deaf and blind student Helen Keller to communicate. It took years and years but the teacher eventually achieves her goal. Now take a look at the slowest student in your own class - the one who sits in a corner all day long licking Lego. Have you got that same dedication to focus on their needs and turn them into stars? What\'s that? Not when you\'ve got a few things to pick up at the supermarket and you want to be on tomorrow\'s early bus to Koh Samet. Fair enough.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Dead Poet\'s Society (1989) Robin Williams<br /></strong>This is the story of English professor John Keating who inspires his students to love poetry and to seize the day. With barely a semester under his belt, the professor\'s charges are sneaking off games to read poetry under the shade of an oak tree. By semester two the students are standing on desks and cheering loudly as the professor jokingly disses some of the poetry greats. Just remember one thing before you try this at home and before your students start jeering as you dismiss William Wordsworth\'s work as an endless stream of bawdy innuendo. In the movie, the professor\'s students were quite clever to begin with.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>The Karate Kid (1984) Ralph Macchio<br /></strong>You all know the story by now - a skinny kid is getting his arse kicked by the local hoodlums and an ordinary-looking, mild-mannered janitor draws on his past as a karate expert to turn the kid into a champion street-fighter. Somewhere along the way the janitor looks the kid in the eye and says \"I\'m going to take you to a level you never thought possible\" <br />Why not give that a try the next time you rack up to a job interview with a shaven head, body piercings and your prize dragon tattoo peeking out from under a shirt sleeve. \"I may look unconventional but I\'m here to take these kids to a level they never thought possible\" <br />On second thoughts, perhaps you\'d be better off dressing up as the janitor.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"317\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie7.jpg\" width=\"214\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Notes on a Scandal (2006) Judi Dench, Cate Blanchett<br /></strong>No film will prepare you for life in a teachers room better than &lsquo;Notes on a Scandal\' - the story of a beautiful, young art teacher who brings her modern teaching methods to a British comprehensive school, only to find the long-serving, bitter, twisted lesbian standing in the way of her progress. <br />In any teachers\' room, there will always be those who are to get you, to report you to the authorities the moment you step out of line. This movie shows you how to deal with those whose only aim is to make your life a misery - namely getting them arrested and when that fails, trying to force their head inside the gas oven.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Music of the Heart (1999) Meryl Streep<br /></strong>In this mostly forgotten film from the late 90\'s, Meryl Streep plays a music teacher who moves to a deprived suburb of New York. She sees the poverty and misery all around her and decides the only way she knows to give something back to the underprivileged kids is to teach them to play the violin. Meryl ends up getting spectacular results - and so could you. Look at the underprivileged people in your neighborhood - what about that woman who sells the plastic mobile phone covers? What joy you could bring into their lives with some free English lessons. I would do it myself but the wife and I always go shopping on Saturdays.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Mr Holland\'s Opus (1995) Richard Dreyfuss<br /></strong>Mr Holland is the high school teacher everyone loves. He\'s dedicated his whole teaching career to the school and the school orchestra. He has shaped his students lives beyond words. But time is marching on and all good things come to an end. Cometh the last day of school, when Mr Holland is about to retire, there\'s not a dry eye in the house as the film reaches its climax. Thinking that he\'s only turning up to collect his final month\'s pay, the school has thrown a surprise party with the whole school alumni in attendance. And Mr Holland gets up on the stage to conduct the orchestra for one last time. However, when it\'s time for you yourself to quit a school and either move on or retire, don\'t expect the sounds of an orchestra to accompany you on your way. Just concentrate on getting your final month\'s pay - anything else will be a bonus.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"317\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/movie10.jpg\" width=\"214\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>The Freedom Writers (2006) Hilary Swank<br /></strong>The film is about a young teacher who inspires her class of at-risk students to learn tolerance, apply themselves, and pursue education beyond high school. The main sub-plot is when the teacher gets the students to develop an interest in the holocaust and to read the diary of Anne Frank. The students are so moved by it, that the teacher dips into the school funds and arranges for one of the women who helped shelter the Frank family to fly over from Holland and meet the students. Now I\'m not saying that you shouldn\'t develop your students\' interest in various topics but be careful about promising them guest visits and raiding the petty cash in order to pay for it. Especially if you work at one of those schools that even makes you pay for your own work permit.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/berenger.jpg','2011-12-23 02:12:04',1,'2011-12-23 02:12:04','2011-12-23 16:04:06'),(7369,52,'January 2012','january-2012','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL courses','New year!

Many people make the effort to change their lives at this time of year. They consider January as the opportune time to start anew with regard to relationships, attitude, habits and other idiosyncrasies. The events of the past serve as their guide to perhaps a better present. As a result people make &lsquo;new year resolutions\' to hopefully improve their lives. Years ago I made one resolution that ended up giving me so much happiness.</p>\n<p>Guess what my resolution was? Was it to read more of \"Chicken Soup for the Soul\", to get more inspiration from Kahlil Gibran? Was it to bet on the lotto or sweepstakes so that if I won I could achieve instant wealth and happiness? Sorry my friend - you\'re way off the mark. My resolution was simple. I just decided to handle bus tickets with more care.</p>\n<p>In the past I never paid any importance to my environment. Whenever I rode buses, I would crumple up bus tickets. I would play with them like a ball, fold them into a paper plane and let them fly. Sometimes I would fold the ticket into a neat triangle and insert it into the back of someone\'s seat. But I guess I\'m not the only one who does this right?</p>\n<p>Anyway I talked to respectable people I knew but to my surprise, the people I expected to lead by example revealed they were doing even crazier things. People said that they even used bus tickets to wrap chewing gum or as toothpicks. But there is one person I really admire, Jowett, a member of a successful British rock/indie band. Let me quote from his internet blog.</p>\n<p>\"I do collect something, bus tickets, although I\'ve only been able to admit this recently. &lsquo;I just keep them\' and &lsquo;I\'m not really a proper collector, so to speak\'. That was how it started. I\'ll just keep the ticket. I\'ll just keep another. I don\'t know why, but there was something appealing about the workings of the bus service around here. I think I\'m beginning to get to the route of all my problems. This is gold for a psychiatrist. Although I\'m adamant that nothing is wrong with me. To collect tickets is a fine collection, indeed, and one I\'m proud to admit to. At least until they become valuable and I can sell my 2001 ticket for a small fortune sometime in the future when I\'ll probably need that money for rent.\"</p>\n<p>In Thailand, I have changed the way I handle bus tickets. I don\'t want to make clean buses dirty or messy. I\'ve realized that I need to handle bus tickets with care. That realization dawned on me the day after I lost my passport. How did that happen I hear you ask?</p>\n<p>Well, I went to Chatuchak Weekend Market to buy a shirt for a school activity and I took bus 104. Upon reaching Chatuchak, I got off the bus with my passport in my shoulder bag. I then spent nearly an hour in the crowded market finding the shirt that I wanted.</p>\n<p>Later on, I reached for my bag to look for some money - but the bag was gone. I suddenly felt panicky. I retraced my steps but to no avail. I couldn\'t find my bag anywhere. I had a sneaking suspicion that my bag had been snatched.</p>\n<p>In a last desperate attempt to locate the bag, I went to Morchit Bus Station to try and find the 104 bus that I had come in on. I still had the bus ticket in my pocket and I showed it to the kindly lady at the BTMA information counter. She then contacted the actual driver of that bus and lo and behold - the driver had found it! I was told to go to the bus garage in Pak Kret to collect my belongings. What an amazing stroke of luck!</p>\n<p>That resolution that I made years ago made me more careful with my bus tickets. And without that number 104 bus ticket, there is every chance my bag and passport would have been lost forever.</p>\n<p>My American friend told me that he always puts bus tickets in the same pocket so that he never gets into a fluster when an inspector comes on board to check tickets. So every time I\'m on a bus, I make it a point to keep tickets in a safe place. I always have it ready for inspection. I keep my bus tickets not only for the bus inspector, but for my own use. Who knows when I might lose something on the bus. It\'s happened to me once, who knows when and if it could happen again. Does lightning strike twice? You bet it can.</p>\n<p>So \"may I see your ticket, please?\"</p>','','2012-01-03 02:12:54',1,'2012-01-03 02:12:54','2012-01-03 16:04:55'),(7381,21,'Talkin\' bout my situation','talkin-bout-my-situation','Everyone\'s situation is a little different','A section of the ajarn website for those teachers looking to embark on a teaching career in Thailand and have so many questions and no real answers.','<p>A section of the ajarn website for those teachers looking to embark on a teaching career in Thailand and have so many questions and no real answers.

They have offered me 50,000 THB a month.&nbsp;and I&nbsp;am wondering if that would be a comfortable salary? I was hoping for 60,000 to be honest&nbsp;and thought about asking them to negotiate with me. The director told me she was \'super impressed\' with me and my qualifications and the school is well known and respected. <a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living/\">I have read your cost of living section</a>&nbsp;and 50,000 seems to be ok from what you and other teachers seem to have&nbsp;stated.</p>\n<p>The director told me that&nbsp;50,000 was the net salary and then she said something that what they send to the government will say something else because they pay for the tax. If the contract states 50,000 are they required to honor that?</p>\n<p>I also&nbsp;want to live in a central area close to the school, so I am not sure what an apartment would run me. Please let me know. I am currently back home and I don\'t want to accept something I will regret when I get to Bangkok.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Erika. Your questions are all \'financial\' in a sense, and financial questions&nbsp;are nigh on impossible to answer. You\'ve already had a look through the cost of living section and as you can see - no two teachers are ever&nbsp;the same! One guy can earn 40,000 baht a month and live well and another guy can earn appreciably more than 40K and appear to be struggling. Of course that\'s how it is in all walks of life where salaries and spending are concerned - not just in the&nbsp;teaching profession.</p>\n<p>50,000 a month would afford you a decent standard of living in Bangkok. 60,000 would be even better. But let\'s not get carried away - 50K ain\'t a fortune. Bangkok has got a lot more expensive over the past ten years or so. Everyone wants i-pads, mobile phones, wi-fi&nbsp;connections and&nbsp;an extra dollop of cream on their Starbucks latte&nbsp;etc. Years ago, all a teacher had to worry about was rent, food, what to do on a Friday night&nbsp;and where to go for&nbsp;the odd weekend away. Nowadays there is far more vying for the baht in your pocket. I think it\'s a fact that\'s often overlooked when people are planning a Thailand teaching career and working out the numbers.</p>\n<p>Your main expense is always going to be accommodation and I recommend you don\'t spend any more than 10,000 a month on&nbsp;a&nbsp;place to live&nbsp;(plus you\'ll have utility&nbsp;bills on top) I think many teachers will say that you\'ll find something decent for less than 10K and they would probably be right. Rent is always \'dead money\' <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-mistakes/\">You don\'t want to live in a ridiculously cheap apartment because that\'s always a false economy</a>, but it\'s always nice to have a decent pad to go back to after a hard day in the classroom. You\'re thinking very smart as well when you say you want to&nbsp;live close to your work. I never think you want to live so close that all the students can wave at you every time you pop into seven-eleven for groceries but you don\'t want those two-hour commutes in the rainy season either.</p>\n<p>Oh, and if the director says that you should receive 50,000 baht a month nett, then that\'s what it should be.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<h3>Freddy from Nicaragua</h3>\n<p>\n<p>Hi, I\'m Freddy from Nicaragua in Central America. At the moment I am living in Pattaya with my wife and looking for a job as a native Spanish speaker in order to support us both and of course be able to stay in Thailand with her. Unfortunately, I\'m having no luck whatsoever finding opportunities to teach Spanish. In the past, I taught English in a high school in&nbsp;my hometown and after that for a few years in Costa Rica. Then I moved to the USA and lived there for about 12 years. All I want is to live in Thailand with my wife and my wonderful son. I\'m grateful for any help you can give me.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Freddy. I\'ve lived in Thailand for over twenty years and I\'ve heard some terrific Thai Spanish speakers - so they have obviously studied the language somewhere. The only downside is that I could probably count them on one hand. There are two things against you. Firstly,&nbsp;Spanish is very much a&nbsp;\'minority language\' here in Thailand. Thais do study it yes, but not in any great number at all. Secondly, you are in Pattaya. I would say that any minority language teachers - if they are keen to make a living teaching their native language - need to base themselves in Bangkok.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Years ago, I worked at a private language school which boasted a couple of French teachers. One guy did OK for work because he was virtually native-speaker fluent in English as well as French. He taught many hours of English mixed in with the odd hour of French and he managed to make a living. The other French teacher was a long way from being able to teach English. The school recognised this fact as well&nbsp;so he was only allowed to teach French. My lasting memory of this teacher was how he used to sit in a corner of the teachers room, with his hand in his hands, and wonder where his next meal was coming from. It was very much a case of \'one hour\'s teaching&nbsp;on a Monday and one hour on a Thursday\' And that\'s no good to anyone.</p>\n<p>One way to get a decent amount of paying work&nbsp;might be to offer your services to a private language school as an English teacher first and foremost -&nbsp;and a Spanish&nbsp;teacher second.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I presume you\'ve already done what anyone else would do and googled \'Spanish teaching in Bangkok\'. It took me seconds to come up with a website for a school called <a href=\"http://www.spanishinbangkok.com/instructors/index.htm\">The Instituto Espanol</a>, who only hire Spanish native speakers. Perhaps there are even more schools out there like them? If you delve deeper into the google pages, you will notice that&nbsp;a number of Spanish&nbsp;teachers in Thailand have their own Facebook pages or websites and they are getting them out there to attract private&nbsp;students. In other words, they are getting their marketing head&nbsp;on. You\'re going to need to do the same if you are going to eke out a living as a Spanish teacher. Sit in your apratment in Pattaya and wait for jobs to fall out of the sky and it just ain\'t going to happen. Good luck!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Joanelle from South Africa</h3>\n<p>I want to teach in Thailand starting September or October for a few years, but I have a few enquiries. Firstly Afrikaans&nbsp;is my first language,and although I had English in High School and speak it fluently, it isn\'t what I would like it to be with regards to tenses and grammar etc. How big a&nbsp;problem is it and how do I overcome it before September? When is the best time of year to arrive in Thailand and do the TEFL course and interviews with different schools?</p>\n<p>\n<p>Secondly, I have a degree In Public Management&nbsp;and&nbsp;I\'m currently studying&nbsp; for my teaching degree specializing&nbsp;in children&nbsp;from 6-10.&nbsp;That will be finished in November. Would I need to do the TEFL if I have these two degrees?</p>\n<p>Thirdly, what I idolised for my Thailand experience is to teach in a village or rural town - not&nbsp;in Bangkok. I want to walk and breath in&nbsp;fresh air. I want peace and harmony and to hug, love and learn about&nbsp;the children of Thailand! I have years of&nbsp;experience in teaching children and currently have&nbsp;my own Franchise \"Chums with Sums\" where I teach small children maths.</p>\n<p>What salary am I looking at if I want to teach smaller children in a smaller town somewhere? I read a few blogs and hear there are many work opportunities but, for the experience I want what\'s the potential and with my qualifications what are the salary rates? I\'m really looking forward to this new adventure in my life,and would appreciate any information and feedback.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Joanelle. You want in teach in a rural town or rural village and wonder what the salary might be so let\'s get that out of the way first. Some rural towns or smaller cities&nbsp;might have schools or colleges paying teachers&nbsp;25-40,000 baht a month.&nbsp;At what I guess is your \'picture\' of a rural school, you might be lucky to get 15,000 baht a month. There\'s a big difference between some&nbsp;backwater village school and a modern institute&nbsp;on the edge of a large town - in hundreds of different ways.</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t worry about your English language ability.&nbsp;Being from South Africa, you fall into that magical category of nationalities&nbsp;that Thais consider full-on native English speakers and with the kind of students you hope to teach,&nbsp;most of&nbsp;the English will be fairly basic. Nothing wrong with brushing&nbsp;up on your grammar though so why not read a&nbsp;good grammar book on the flight over. No, seriously!</p>\n<p>September and October are good months to look for work. They are not the busiest in terms of schools hiring teachers but they are far from the worst also. Try not to leave it later than October though&nbsp;because things really do slow down once November arrives.</p>\n</p>\n<p>You certainly won\'t need to do a TEFL course in order to secure a job - certainly not&nbsp;with two degrees under your belt and years of experience teaching kids. I would just get out there and start looking for jobs. There\'s always a demand for teachers that can teach more than one subject and English and maths is a great combination. When you go for interviews, don\'t forget to big up that experience you have with running your own kids math franchise.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Sean from the USA</h3>\n<p>\n<p>I am a 24 year old American who has been living in Bangkok for the past&nbsp;two years. I moved here with my girlfriend to finish my master\'s degree in International Relations here at an American University. She is already an accomplished teacher from the States with a master\'s in education, so she has no trouble finding work. However, now that I am done with my degree, I am stuck in a field with limited jobs and have had no luck in the governmental/non-governmental job field. I am now considering teaching for a bit here in Bangkok. I just have no idea where to start. I hope that a Master\'s degree would outweigh a TEFL certificate in my chances of work. And I am not keen on paying for a certificate right now. My question is basically where to start. I know many teachers and have heard many good and bad stories. I want to know how to avoid one of those horror stories. I have browsed many websites and visited many company websites, but still am unsure about the quality and legitimacy of certain agencies. I am more leaning towards a teaching position in social studies/sciences or even business/corporate training. Do you think it would be necessary to get a TEFL cert?</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Sean. You say in your e-mail, or at least imply that your partner has been teaching in Thailand for two years and \'has no trouble finding work\'. I\'m just a little surprised that you are not getting more information from her because she should certainly have gotten to know the ropes by now. But anyway, your main question is it necessary to get a TEFL certificate. Can I say what I said to Jon from Honolulu a little further down the page because he kind of asked the same question. The answer is certainly the same - plenty of people will tell you that these certificates are not legal requirements, and while that is certainly true, these certificates are &lsquo;strings to your bow\'. Having them will not do your job chances any&nbsp;harm at all&nbsp;and you\'ll feel a more confident teacher when you walk into a classroom. Listen, if two people go for the same job - both have degrees and both&nbsp;have likeable personalities, but one has a TEFL certificate and the other doesn\'t - it\'s a fair chance that the job will go to the teacher&nbsp;who\'s less of a gamble in a recruiter\'s eyes.</p>\n<p>It sounds as if you have your heart set on teaching science or something similar. Well, the busy hiring season is approaching fast. There are going to be plenty of science teacher positions around and some of those jobs&nbsp;will be through agencies but most of them won\'t. Look at the jobs boards on ajarn.com and any other TEFL jobs&nbsp;website&nbsp;and apply directly to the schools if you don\'t want to chance it with a teacher agency. Simple really.</p>\n</p>\n<p>You might find some corporate / training work as well, but always keep in mind that very few teachers make a full-time living from corporate training. It\'s more often a case of a couple of nights a week with a group of office staff and the odd two-day seminar if you\'re lucky. Corporate work is the icing on the cake. It\'s that little bit extra to supplement your day job. Never ever rely on it as your bread and butter work.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Chris from the USA</h3>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>I am a 27 year old American and and I have several questions about teaching in Thailand. My girlfriend and I are moving to Thailand to teach in early April and we have been researching quite a bit. One thing we can\'t find is how to go about finding a job outside of Bangkok, specifically in the southern area like Phuket or Hat Yai. We really want to be in a tropical climate and somewhere near the beach but it is hard to find reliable information on these areas. Are there any places that would be better than others or any ways to find jobs in this are that I haven\'t found?</p>\n<p>My second question is on behalf of my girlfriend. She was previously married and her name changed after she graduated college. I am worried that because her passport and degree have different last names on them we may run in to problems with paperwork once in Thailand. The Thai Consulate is not worried about the visa but I worry that this may cause a problem with her finding a job.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Chris. Well first off, you are certainly coming at the best time of year to find a teaching job in Thailand, although March would probably be even better.</p>\n<p>I\'m not quite sure what you mean when you say you can\'t find jobs in areas like Phuket or Hat Yai or find reliable information on those areas. If you are looking for general travel information on places like Phuket, I\'m sure there are many websites with good, updated content. As regards teaching jobs, ajarn.com does feature job vacancies in Phuket quite often. There are never as many job vacancies for Hat Yai though, despite it being one of Thailand\'s largest cities. That\'s just the way it is I guess. We have recently updated our <a href=\"/help-and-guides/region-guides/phuket/\">region guide to Phuket</a> so that\'s well worth a few minutes of your time. There is also a <a href=\"/help-and-guides/region-guides/hat-yai/\">region guide to Hat Yai</a>, albeit a little older.</p>\n<p>I think if you and your partner have your hearts set on teaching in a particular area or city, you should decide which one and then base yourself in that area for a while. Find out who is recruiting in that area, ask around a few places, make a few contacts, get on the telephone. That\'s what a serious job hunt is all about. Sit in your digs and wait for a teaching position to drop into your lap and it\'s not going to happen. Be aware though that somewhere like Phuket could be an expensive place to be &lsquo;killing time\' while you are looking for a job so make sure you have some savings o fall back on.</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n<p>The passport and degree conundrum is something I\'ve not come across before but the situation is what it is. I can\'t see it causing any major issues but obviously you\'ll need to explain the situation to any potential employers. It\'s just an idea but could you perhaps get some sort of legal document from your local law office explaining why the names differ on the passport and degree. Then get that document &lsquo;notarized\' with an official stamp or something. It may cost you a hundred bucks but it might solve a few problems further down the line should any problems arise.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Jennifer from the USA</h3>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>I am a 35-year-old married mother of two daughters (ages 8 and 4) from the United States. My husband and I very much want to move to Thailand. We have been studying the culture, climate, and way of life and it is exactly what we have been looking for. I have a Bachelor\'s Degree in English Literature and would get my TEFL certification. I am strongly considering teaching in Thailand, but see very little on your site from married couples with children who bring their families with them to Thailand. I am curious if this would be a smart move and if we would be able to do alright financially? Is quality childcare available that would be affordable for us if we both work? Would our children be able to attend the public schools and would we be happy with that? Is there housing available at a reasonable price that would be enough space to accommodate our family (I am mostly seeing blogs about single people who rent 1 room apartments). This is obviously a very big decision for us, so your feedback would be appreciated.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Jennifer. First off, I appreciate that this is a huge decision - uprooting your family to live on the other side of the world and relying on teaching salaries. You don\'t mention it but I assume that your husband will be teaching as well. So it\'s a case of two teachers looking for TEFL work with a couple of kids in tow. The reason that this scenario doesn\'t feature predominantly on the ajarn.com website is probably because few families make such a move. It\'s certainly a very brave one.</p>\n<p>My first &lsquo;concern\' is that although you are researching Thailand on the internet, I\'m not sure that you have even been here for a holiday. Be aware that living and working in Thailand is entirely different to coming here for a couple of weeks of beaches and temples. This point is covered in more detail in our \'<a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-mistakes/\">20 mistakes that new teachers make\' </a>article. Make sure you have a quick read through those points.</p>\n<p>I\'ll admit that I\'m not the best person to comment on your family situation because I don\'t have children; however, I will say this - one of the main reasons that foreign teachers with young children decide to return home for a while - often after several years or more spent teaching in Thailand - is for the sake of their kids\' education. Many teachers feel that a private school education is the only way to go in Thailand but the fees can be high and could take a big bite out of your monthly TEFL salary.</p>\n<p>Let\'s talk about all things financial. I can\'t answer your question - \"would we do alright financially?\" because I have no idea what your financial situation is now and even less idea what your expectations are. A husband and wife might pull in 80-100,000 baht a month from teaching unless they are qualified to work in the best international schools.</p>\n<p>From that 80-100,000 baht a month, you\'ve got to find an apartment that\'s big enough for your family, possibly something with two bedrooms in a decent area. I think you must be looking at a minimum of 20,000 baht a month for that. Then you have day-to-day living costs, child-minder fees, and we haven\'t even got on to health insurance and the money for trips back to the USA (there must be grandparents who will be missing their grandkids)</p>\n<p>I have to be honest Jennifer, in your shoes I wouldn\'t be attempting any of this unless I had some sort of decent financial buffer just in case things don\'t work out and you have to return home and pick up where you left off.</p>\n<p>Approach this situation with great caution would be my advice. If you were a couple of foreign experts coming over on expat packages or a couple of teachers hired from overseas by a top international school, then it would be a totally different ball-game. But that isn\'t the case is it? You\'re planning to join thousands of other English teachers looking for quality, well-paid work in what can be one of the most fantastic, yet most frustrating countries to live in. Only time will tell if Thailand turns out to be Heaven or Hell for you.</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n<p>If there are no kids involved, then you can easily chalk the experience up as one big adventure, but there are a couple of little ones relying on you. That\'s certainly a game changer.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Jon from Honolulu</h3>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>I\'m turning 44 in a few weeks. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance. I\'m thinking of taking a 140 hour TESOL/TEFL course (120hrs online + 20hrs DVD lecture) and a 50-hour Business English online course (and maybe the 50-hour young learner course as well) then 2 weeks of classroom training.</p>\n<p>For the past 12 years I have worked for the same financial services company, providing seminars and one-to-one hour long appointments \'teaching\' private high school and university employees about various financial subjects/issues. I believe I can get letters of recommendation from the high schools. I\'m hoping that potential employers might consider this as some experience and not just consider me as a brand new TEFL certificate holder with no actual teaching experience.</p>\n<p>What are your thoughts? Given my experience would I be considered able to teach other subjects such as math or will I end up teaching just English? Any input you can offer would be greatly appreciated.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Jon. I certainly like your attitude and we all know that a good attitude can get you far. There\'s certainly no harm in getting a TEFL certificate and perhaps doing one or two of the other courses you mention. Plenty of people will tell you that these certificates are not legal requirements, and while that is certainly true, these certificates are &lsquo;strings to your bow\'. Having them will not do you any harm and you\'ll feel a more confident teacher when you walk into a classroom.</p>\n<p>Do you really want to bother with the young learners course though? Reading between the lines, this strikes me as the kind of work you would be least happy doing - but I may be wrong.</p>\n<p>You\'ll be starting off life in Thailand as a newbie but not a true newbie. That &lsquo;teaching experience\' you gained while you worked in the financial sector must have some value. If I were you, I would get a little creative with your resume and really emphasize the teaching aspect of those positions. You want a potential employer to pick up your resume and see a guy with some teaching experience who just might be the answer to their recruitment problems, not just &lsquo;some financial guy going through a career change\'</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n<p>Just to give you a further bit of motivation, I have a very good friend with an almost identical background to you. He worked in the financial service sector in both the US and the UK for many years. He\'s also a good five years older than you. He had absolutely no trouble getting work at universities teaching financial courses, maths and marketing. In fact I think he does very little in the way of plain English teaching. And if I remember correctly, he only ever had an on-line TEFL certificate. It was his background that got him the positions. Good luck!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Darren from Australia</h3>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>Hi, I am an Australian in my early 40s. I have being coming to Thailand for three years now and have decided to do a TEFL course and hopefully get work in or around Bangkok. Prior to me coming here, I had a construction company that I owned for 20 years. The question I have for you is with me only having a TEFL course degree behind me and a business management degree (which I did when I was in Australia) is it going to be hard to find a school that\'s willing to take me on? I have noticed a lot of schools want degrees. If so will I have to go out into the sticks to have half a chance of finding work? Am I better off going through a teacher agency to find work or to find work myself? Am I better off being married with regards to getting a visa or it\'s no problem being single? I have a Thai girlfriend that wants to get married but I\'m not that keen on the idea unless it\'s an advantage to my visa status. Sorry if that sounds harsh but I\'m being honest. Any help would be great. Darren.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>You have to look at things here in black and white Darren. You\'ve got no teaching experience and no TEFL certificate (it\'s not a degree by the way) and your background in construction - although a very honorable profession - has nothing to do with teaching English. Therefore you\'re fairly near the bottom of the pecking order when it comes to teaching jobs. You do have a degree though and that\'s an enormous plus because it means&nbsp;schools can get you a teacher\'s licence and work permit.</p>\n<p>If I were a recruiter, I would see you as an enormous gamble as it currently stands. For sure, there will be some of the more desperate&nbsp;employers willing to take a chance on&nbsp;you but often only because they need a warm body in the classroom.</p>\n<p>What you need more than anything is teaching experience and even though some teacher agencies might not be your idea of a dream employer, it still means you are getting your foot in the door. Once you\'ve got a year of teaching experience under your belt, you will be in a far better position to move on to better jobs. But everyone has to start somewhere. Be prepared to be \'messed around\' for a year or so. Then again, you might strike it lucky and end up in a good school first time around. It can happen. There are some good teacher agencies around. One well-known and reliable teacher recruiter in Bangkok wrote&nbsp;a great blog with <a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-lowdown-on-teacher-agencies/\">the lowdown on teacher agencies</a> and followed that up with the <a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-flipside-of-teacher-agencies/\">flipside of working for teacher agencies</a>. Both blogs are well worth a read Darren for someone in your position.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I would certainly advise you to get a TEFL certificate because although it\'s not a legal requirement, having the certificate at least shows a prospective employer that you have some idea of what to do the moment you walk into a classroom. A number of employers might even&nbsp;want you to do a demo lesson.</p>\n<p>To answer your other questions, getting married is an advantage to your visa status in terms of being allowed to stay longer in the country (provided you can meet the financial requirements of course) but it makes no difference to legally finding teaching work. Jobs don\'t necessarily become easier to find once your status changes from single to married, although some employers may view a married man as having more of a long-term commitment.</p>\n<p>If your heart is set on working in Bangkok, then that is where I would look for jobs. You are only looking for one teaching vacancy. There are plenty of teachers who say it\'s easier for an inexperienced newbie to find teaching work in the sticks, but that doesn\'t mean you should dismiss Bangkok completely. Bangkok still has far more choice of better-paying jobs than in the rural areas, and that\'s the way it always will be. I put together an article a while ago pitching <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/bangkok-or-up-country-which-is-best/\">\'teaching in Bangkok\' up against \'teaching in the rural areas\'</a>. Have a&nbsp;read of that&nbsp;and make up your own mind.</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/help_and_guides/situation2.jpg','2012-07-08 16:44:23',1,'2012-07-08 16:44:23','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(7718,20,'Fear of change?','fear-of-change','Why the reluctance to adopt English as an official language in Thailand?','In Thailand the government has set 2012 as English Speaking Year with a goal of encouraging students to converse in English every Monday. Such policies are useful but the major leap of enacting legislation to make English an official language for Thailand is also needed','<p>\n<p>In October 2010 the previous government turned down a proposal by the committee on education reform to make English Thailand\'s second official language. The reason given by the Education Minister at the time, Chinnaworn Boonyakiat, was that people might misunderstand Thailand\'s history and think that it was once a former foreign colony!</p>\n<p>Why he used that frail excuse is anyone\'s guess. After all he could have come up with compelling reasons like the cost of dual signs and documentation, the problem with lack of sufficient English teachers, the need for skilled translators, the training of current and future government officials, the additional exams that would be required and so on. Or even admit the likely real reason- a fear of dilution of Thai culture and language.</p>\n<p>The governments of several other countries have also run into resistance on making English an official language. In 2001, the south Korean government suggested making English a second official language on Jeju Island - as apart of its future status as an international free trade city, but ran into severe opposition from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and prominent academics who felt that this would lead to the loss of Korean identity and language.</p>\n<p>And in 2000 the office of the Japanese Prime minister made a plea for the importance of English but admitted that, \"it may be possible to make English an official second language, [but] national debate will be needed\" (cited in Hashimoto, 2004). Eleven years later and Japan is no closer to giving English official language status, and many would say, not-coincidently, no closer in improving English speaking ability among the overall population.</p>\n<p>This hesitation in making English an official language is due more to inertia and fear of change than lack of knowledge of the need. Indeed, politicians, businessmen, and educators in those countries clearly recognize the importance of English.</p>\n<p>The Prime Minister\'s Commission in Japan, over ten years ago, stated that, &lsquo;all Japanese should acquire a working knowledge of English---not as simply a foreign language but as the international lingua franca. English in this sense is a prerequisite for obtaining global information, expressing intentions, and sharing values\" (cited in Hashimoto, 2004). And Korea\'s Prime minister Roh Moo-Hyun, in 2003, openly supported the introduction of English as a second official language.</p>\n<p>Of course the three countries spend a huge amount of money, privately and publicly on English education. Yet all are far behind, in English, countries like Singapore, Philippines or Brunei - who give English official status- and where English is the language of business and technology.</p>\n<p>In Thailand the government has set 2012 as English Speaking Year with a goal of encouraging students to converse in English every Monday. Such policies are useful but the major leap of enacting legislation to make English an official language for Thailand is also needed. One only has to look further south to Malaysia and Singapore where English is a welcome part of society at large to see that given a well funded 10 year (ok 15 year) plan Thailand could achieve dramatic improvements, and give itself an advantage over Korea, Japan and other laggards.</p>\n<p>Once this is put into law, then rapidly expand the number of bilingual schools until all government elementary and secondary schools adopt the model. This could be brought about by (as one possible element) an arrangement between the Philippines and Thai governments (under ASEAN), where well qualified English teachers from education departments are invited to teach in Thailand under similar salaries to Thai teachers. Another step includes rewarding English speakers (using a recognized international proficiency test) in Thai government service by connecting salary increase to English ability and insisting new hires achieve levels of English. Also increase funding for media outlets to include English content, and indeed do anything that helps lead to English being more and more widely used.</p>\n<p>Can most of this be done without making English an official language? Yes, it could, but a legislative act has more than symbolic power, it will tend to rivet the people of Thailand on the urgency of English learning: children and their parents will, rightly, start to link success directly to their study of English. Officials, business leaders and the general public will gradually expect and eventually demand that English be a part of daily life in Thailand.<br />Finally, about my earlier comment, on the fear among some pundits of dilution of Thai language and culture. Well that will need another article.</p>\n</p>\n<p><strong>References<br /></strong>Hashimoto, S. (2004). <em>Foreign language education in Japan: A Japanese Perspective.

So, when the roles were reversed and I became the teacher, I foolishly assumed every student would be just like I was when I was in school.</p>\n<p>I hope you caught my use of the word \"foolishly\"; I couldn\'t have been more wrong with that assumption.</p>\n<p>After 15 months of being a teacher in two countries, I have had to deal with my fair share of troublemakers in the classroom. It has been frustrating to say the least.</p>\n<h3>Soft touch</h3>\n<p>When I first started teaching, I was quite soft with discipline and I think this is quite common for first time teachers; we are anxious to have our students like us and don\'t want to start off on the wrong foot by coming across as a dictator in the classroom. Now, after having my soft tactics being used and abused by my students, I\'ve become a bit of a tougher disciplinarian and I\'m not afraid to crack down on the first troublemaker.</p>\n<p>My students don\'t fear me, they just know that fooling around during class won\'t be tolerated and if they want to have a fun and engaging class, they need to show me the same respect that I show them.</p>\n<h3>Tactics</h3>\n<p>Here are a few of my tactics I wanted to share. If you are a first time teacher, I hope you find these useful and if you are a long-time educator, please share your own experience and advice in the comments section!<br /><br /><strong>1. Three Strikes:</strong> I find the \"three strikes and your out\" tactic very useful. Usually, I do it for the whole class and will draw three stars on the board. I explain the concept and every time a student, or group of students, misbehave, I will erase one star. At the end of class, if there is one or more stars left on the board, we will play a quick game at the end of class and if all the stars are erased, then we don\'t play a game.</p>\n<p>I find this very useful because the students feel more in control, their behavior decides if they get to play a game or not, and they have a visual to keep them aware of where they stand. It also encourages the students to work together because they are responsible for everybody being able to play a game, not just themselves. I find this works for all age groups.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Names On The Board:</strong> This is something I do when a few students are being extra rowdy and it is necessary to single them out. Usually, I will draw a star and then a sad face on the board; for kindergarten kids I will draw a happy and sad face and dub them \"Mr. Happy\" and \"Mr. Sad\". When a student is being very well-behaved, I will write their name under the star(or happy face) and single them out as an example for everyone else.</p>\n<p>Students who are misbehaving have their name written under the sad face. I will usually reward the well-behaved students with a sticker. You can decide if you want to do this on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending on your students. Another suggestion is, as the misbehaving students being to smarten up and fix their behavior, you can erase a letter or two from their name, eventually erasing the whole name...hopefully.</p>\n<p>This allows the student to recognize that their good behavior is having positive repercussions.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Sit In The Corner:</strong> When a student is being exceptionally disruptive, I will have him sit next to the board or sit outside, provided I can see them. This usually puts an end to the behavior and shows the student that you mean business and their behavior will no longer be tolerated.</p>\n<p>I continue to have them be a part of the lesson though and when they have demonstrated that they are paying attention and taking the lesson more seriously, I let them go back to their original seat.</p>\n<p><strong>4. The Principal\'s Office:</strong> This is my least favorite tactic and a last resort. Sometimes, I will either threaten to call the principal or to send a student to the principal\'s office.</p>\n<p>I don\'t like making the threat, or following through with it, but sometimes the student may need the principal to become involved in order to realize their behavior is unacceptable. Just be careful with how many empty \"principal\" threats you use, or else they could be become ineffective when the students become accustomed to you actually not sending them there.</p>','','2015-09-10 06:01:25',1,'2015-09-10 06:01:25','2018-04-15 03:03:20'),(7836,4,'Culture of insouciance','culture-of-insouciance','The Cambodian rubbish dump, and my not so final, final exam','Many of the students in my class with their fancy clothes, laptops, I-phones, and I-pads, rarely experience an atmosphere where true learning takes place.  Outside of the odd serious teacher they may have encountered along the way, they also live and learn in a rubbish dump, an educational one.  ','<p><em>\"I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.\"<br /></em>Benjamin Franklin, \"On Corn and Poverty\", the London Chronicle, November 29, 1766.</p>\n<p>I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how to truly help people. Unfortunately, I work in a school that is filled with students from the middle and upper class of Phnom Penh society. Many of these students are spoiled, lazy, and are spoon-fed by their local teachers. Spoon-fed was the term used by the principal of my school when we recently spoke about this problem. That is a little too optimistic for my liking. I prefer to use the term &lsquo;breast-fed.\'</p>\n<p>Far too often, I have seen local teachers play games with the students, both children and adolescents. I have seen them show too many movies simply for entertainment value. I have heard one of them play his guitar and sing to them. This is fine if done occasionally and as a reward for a job well-done. But in my first year in Phnom Penh, I have not been witness to many jobs well-done.</p>\n<p>A pig can only teach a group of piglets how to become pigs.</p>\n<p>Now for my &lsquo;not so final, final exam\' given on Monday December 25, 2011: I tested the students (level 11 advanced) for grammar and vocabulary throughout the term on three different &lsquo;unit tests\', so I thought I would try something different. The final exam (worth 40 percent of the final grade) would be nothing more than reading, thinking, and writing. I spent the last two classes before the test, (a total of four hours) preparing them. I first elicited discussion topics from the students which had to do with \"Problems in Cambodia.\" I wrote them on the board: Traffic, poverty, graft, corruption, unemployment, violence, lack of educational opportunities, etc. Under another heading I wrote, \"Solutions.\"</p>\n<p>Then, in pairs, I had the students discuss each problem and write their solutions in point form for an eventual discussion. After the discussion I told the students to choose one of the topics and write a detailed essay outlining the problem, its causes, and solutions. I told the class that I would choose one of the topics on the board for the final exam, so this would be a \"practice run\" for them. As you can see from the story and questions below, <a href=\"http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-11-11/life-at-a-cambodian-rubbish-dump/3659920\">I chose this article about \"poverty in Cambodia\" from this ABC news&nbsp;website</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>QUESTIONS:</strong>\n<p>1) What is your first impression after seeing these pictures and reading Omar Havana\'s story? How do you feel about this? Explain. (5 marks)</p>\n<p>2) Mr. Havana says that the children are \"always smiling\" and \"they are happy because tomorrow they will see the sun.\" Do you think this is an accurate depiction of poor children in your country, or is it &lsquo;romanticizing\' peasant life? Why? Explain your answer. (5 marks)</p>\n<p>3) Mr. Havana says that these poor Cambodian children are happy, yet he would like them to have a better life like people in his country where one child said they \"never smile.\" What is the paradox of this wish for Cambodian children? (5 marks)</p>\n<p>4) Why do you think Mr. Havana calls Cambodia \"The forgotten world?\" Do you agree? Why or why not? (5 marks)</p>\n<p>5) Cambodia has a huge problem with poverty. Write a one page essay about your solutions to this problem. State the problem, what you believe is the cause(s), and how you would go about offering solutions. What programs would you implement? Would you accept help from the International community, or do you think Cambodia should solve this problem on its own? Do you think poverty in Cambodia is a \"Cambodian problem\" requiring a \"Cambodian solution?\" Why? Give the essay a title. (20 marks)</p>\n<p>It would be all too easy to dismiss Havana\'s take on poverty in Cambodia as just another na&iuml;ve foreigner trying to understand life in Southeast Asia. I have always had a deep suspicion of anyone who says of the poor, \"Look at them! They have nothing, but they are so happy. They are always smiling and saying good morning. Even at 4:00 in the afternoon!\" I want to yell at them, \"If YOU lived in a rubbish dump with nothing to eat for breakfast but a bag of blood, would YOU be happy?\"</p>\n<p>I wonder if it has ever occurred to Havana (and others) that these kids may have been putting on a show; telling foreigners what they think they want to hear. Havana\'s analysis of the lives of poor Cambodian children seems to fly in the face of logic, common sense, and human nature. It flies in the face of human nature because if we accept that a large part of human nature is a continual striving to ameliorate one\'s present living conditions, then living in a garbage dump would most definitely qualify as a low point in one\'s life. <br /><br />But let\'s, for argument sake, say that all of this is true; that these children are genuinely happy living in squalor, eating bags of blood for dinner, and waiting for the sun to shine the following morning. This raises some very interesting questions: Mainly, why bother helping them? Why expend so much time and energy trying to make them as unhappy as they think us foreigners to be? And where does that leave those foreigners who truly want to help? Where does it leave the international community, doctors without borders, NGOs, foreign investors, even us lowly EFL teachers?</p>\n<p>My goal in giving such a final exam (and class assignments of this nature) is simple: To get the students to think; to see beyond their limited &lsquo;weltanschauung\' (world-view); and, eventually, to act. While studying grammar rules and memorizing English vocabulary is important, I want my students to become problem solvers. Their country depends on that.</p>\n<p>Of the 13 students who took the exam, nine passed and four failed. Those who failed did so because of poor writing skills, a lack of clear ideas, and a failure to develop their ideas. Ten students passed my level 11 class while three failed. Those who failed got to take a &lsquo;make up\' exam before moving on to the final level.</p>\n<p>Most of the students had similar answers, especially when it came to the causes of poverty and any solutions. They blamed the recent civil war and the genocidal regime of Pol Pot for causing so much of today\'s problems in Cambodia. That is certainly true. The solutions were also similar to one another. The government should send children to school and give families more money: Nothing new there. The students were pretty much split as far as the international community getting involved. Mainly out of pride for their country, some students said that Cambodia should \"solve this problem on its own, but if we can\'t then we should take money from the international community.\" Most of the students, however, did use words like \"shocked\", \"sad\", and \"angry\" to describe their feelings at Havana\'s photographs. But they had no idea what to do with those feelings; no clue how to move beyond them into the realm of serious thought and introspection.</p>\n<p>Overall, I was disappointed by their lack of problem solving skills. Outside of their cookie-cutter answers, very little was truly discussed and nothing was solved. Although poverty has never been an easy problem to solve anywhere, it is a huge failure on the part of their educational establishment, their society, and their local teachers that this kind of thinking has yet to take root in their schools.</p>\n<p>It\'s not only me who face this lack of critical thinking skills with Cambodian students. I met a foreign English teacher recently who spent two years teaching at a well-known Phnom Penh university. When he asked his students similar questions on how to solve the poverty issue in Cambodia, he basically received the same answers as I had with one student saying that \"Cambodia can sell air to Thailand\" to increase revenue. Now, if he could find a way to do that, great! He would become famous. Personally, I think we need more &lsquo;down-to-earth\' solutions.</p>\n<p>One of the many problems in this part of the world, specifically in Thailand and Cambodia--- two countries where I have lived and taught--- is what I call a &lsquo;culture of insouciance\', an attitude of social light-heartedness, and a reluctance to take any worthwhile endeavor seriously, especially an endeavor like education. This kind of culture may be fine for attracting foreign sex-tourists and vagabonds, but it is hell on earth for those who deign to do any real work and make a positive difference.</p>\n<p>The boys and girls in Havana\'s photographs are not so much putting on a brave face for the foreigner with a camera, as much as practicing a kind of cultural insouciance resulting in a blissful inability to truly comprehend their own predicament. The same can be said about many Thai and Cambodian adults. Their cultural insouciance has left them intellectually impotent to the point where they are wholly incapable of conceptualizing any concrete strategies or solutions to life\'s most pressing problems and challenges; problems that they themselves have created and continue to perpetuate. Give them a bottle of whiskey and a couple of free hours and they are as happy as the proverbial pigs in you know what.</p>\n<p>While the children in Havana\'s photographs are financially poor, the children in my classroom are educationally poor. While the children in Havana\'s photographs spend their days and nights searching for food, the students in my classroom spend their days and nights on their laptops and I-pads searching for new Facebook &lsquo;friends.\' While the children in Havana\'s photographs know of no other life than suckling on the nipple of Cambodian poverty, many of the students in my class know of no other life than suckling on the nipple of their local teachers. In both cases, the children in this country are taught to be little more than dependent lemmings, with no mind of their own and little awareness of what it could mean to themselves and their society to possess creativity and critical thinking skills. This is why it is so extremely important to reassert an essential and universal truth about the proper care and education of children to those insecure teachers who just want their students to like them: Put your nipples back in your blouse, stop breast-feeding your students, and start properly educating them. The future of your country depends on it.</p>\n<p>I have students who come into my writing class after years of studying English with local teachers and write sentences like <br />\"My house are big.\"<br />\"I has learn English since six years.\" <br />\"I is dark hair and black eye.\"</p>\n<p>Fantastic! I get the students to write their sentences on the board and we correct them. This is what happens when teachers don\'t teach properly. This is what happens when a teacher brings a banjo into class instead of a book. This is what happens when teachers turn their classroom into a cafeteria and have the students put their feet up and relax instead of having them roll up their sleeves and get to work. This is what happens when teachers waste precious teaching hours having their students watch Mr. Bean videos rather than teaching their students to read and write.</p>\n<p>What many teachers today don\'t seem to realize is that what students give us is a direct reflection of how they have been taught, or not been taught. I ask them, \"What is a noun?\" They shrug their shoulders. I ask them, \"What is a verb?\" They respond, \"I don\'t know.\" I tell them to give me three adjectives to describe Cambodia. The silence is deafening as they look down at the floor. And these are students who have studied English grammar with Khmer teachers \"since six years!\" It\'s the same with reading comprehension, pronunciation, and phonics. So they come into my class and I push them to study hard; many of them rebel. If lecture them about the evils of sloth and indolence; they roll their eyes and ignore me. I am strict with them; they complain that they want to go back to learning with a local teacher. And who can blame them? Who wouldn\'t want games, movies, and songs? Such is life in a culture of insouciance.</p>\n<p>A pig can only teach a group of piglets how to become pigs.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of truth to the platitude \"change comes from within.\" Many do not see a better life beyond mommy and daddy\'s eight bedroom house with two BMWs. Then again, neither do I. What could be better than living in an eight bedroom house with two BMWs and maid service? What can I possible say to them? \"Listen boys and girls, if you study English real hard, one day you will be able to move out of your daddy\'s eight bedroom house with a swimming pool and two maids, and into your own 10 bedroom pad with two swimming pools, a tennis court, a butler named \"Phipps\", and four Filipina maids!\" I don\'t think that\'s going to fly. Many of these rich and lazy students will just have to grow up, and like everyone else, come to terms with their own eventual regrets.</p>\n<p>So how do we help the financially poor? If I were to have taken my own final exam, what would I have written? Being a conservative, and very suspicious of bleeding heart liberals who simply throw billions of dollars at social problems thinking that wealth distribution solves everything, I would have quoted Benjamin Franklin. To paraphrase and interpret Franklin, if you want to help get people out of poverty, don\'t make them comfortable in it. Make them so uncomfortable in the own poverty that they have no choice but to help themselves. The more you do for others, the less they do for themselves. <br />Here he is in his own words from a <a href=\"http://youshouldread.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/benjamin-franklin-on-corn-and-poverty/\">paragraph titled \"On Corn and Poverty\" from the London Chronicle, November 29, 1766</a>.</p>\n<p>\"For my own part, I am not so well satisfied of the goodness of this thing. I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. - I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. There is no country in the world where so many provisions are established for them; so many hospitals to receive them when they are sick or lame, founded and maintained by voluntary charities; so many alms-houses for the aged of both sexes, together with a solemn general law made by the rich to subject their estates to a heavy tax for the support of the poor. Under all these obligations, are our poor modest, humble, and thankful; and do they use their best endeavors to maintain themselves, and lighten our shoulders of this burthen? - On the contrary, I affirm that there is no country in the world in which the poor are more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent. The day you passed that act, you took away from before their eyes the greatest of all inducements to industry, frugality, and sobriety, by giving them a dependence on somewhat else than a careful accumulation during youth and health, for support in age or sickness. In short, you offered a premium for the encouragement of idleness, and you should not now wonder that it has had its effect in the increase of poverty. Repeal that law, and you will soon see a change in their manners. St. Monday, and St. Tuesday, will cease to be holidays. SIX days shalt thou labour, though one of the old commandments long treated as out of date, will again be looked upon as a respectable precept; industry will increase, and with it plenty among the lower people; their circumstances will mend, and more will be done for their happiness by inuring them to provide for themselves, than could be done by dividing all your estates among them.\"</p>\n<p>Interesting and wise words from Franklin: Words that should come as a warning to those interested in attempting to assist Cambodians in any way. With the billions of dollars being pumped into this corrupt and inscrutable country, just another cursory glance at the children in Havana\'s photographs will clearly show how little has changed. Arguably, the situation has gotten worse. <a href=\"http://savingcambodiamovie.com/HOME.html\">A look at this website and the short documentary film \"The Trap of Saving Cambodia: How Aid, Investment, and Globalization Are Killing a Country\"</a> certainly lends credence to Franklin\'s argument. Cambodians have received so much help from the international community in the last 30 years that they have completely forgotten how to help themselves.</p>\n<p>I called the exam my \"not so final, final exam\" because education is always a work in progress. It has a beginning with no end because we are always learning. I wanted so desperately to include some serious quotations, ideas, and solutions from the students who took my not so final, final exam, but I found so few that I could use. This is tragic. Even though there are some real good and clever students here in Phnom Penh, they are the exception. A culture of insouciance neither encourages nor lends itself to serious thought, introspection, and problem solving.</p>\n<p>In the end, the children in Havana\'s photographs will most probably never see the inside of a classroom; they will never experience learning from teachers, whether locals or foreigners. Many of the students in my class with their fancy clothes, laptops, I-phones, and I-pads, rarely experience an atmosphere where true learning takes place. Outside of the odd serious teacher they may have encountered along the way, they also live and learn in a rubbish dump, an educational one.</p>\n<p>A school, indeed any organization, can only become as successful and efficient as the state that supports it. For any school to succeed the teachers must be more than educators; they must be nation builders. Students must also be more than learners; they must also be nation builders. A country like Cambodia, who spends roughly two percent of its GDP on education, (one of the lowest rates in the world), encouraging teachers and students to become nation builders, does not seem to be a priority here. It must become a priority; otherwise the children in Havana\'s photographs and the students in my Phnom Penh classroom will continue to exist in the same national rubbish dump with almost nothing having been learned and next-to-nothing having been accomplished.</p>\n</p>','','2012-01-23 01:18:38',1,'2012-01-23 01:18:38','2012-01-23 15:03:39'),(7965,59,'Dancing with coordinators','dancing-with-coordinators','Sometimes it\'s better to keep teaching colleagues at arm\'s length','The next term is fast approaching and many schools have job openings.

If you don\'t plan to leave then how do you handle the conflict?</p>\n<p>I once had an English coordinator when I worked for a government school. I worked with her for a total of three years. Over that period of time I learned to \"dance with her\' -but sometimes I got tired of the dancing and my patience became severely tested. Often that patience got pushed to the limit.</p>\n<p>In the first year, things were tolerable. As a subordinate, I had to follow every single instruction she gave me. Even though she was a perfectionist, I performed to her expectations and I got very high ratings. Very often she would praise me to the heavens in front of our agency evaluator. She would paint a good picture of me to our director, the parents and my colleagues. I received accolades that I had never gotten before in my entire teaching career.</p>\n<p>She was a kind and generous Thai woman. She did wonderful things for the school and I felt obligated to please her in any way possible. I don\'t despise my former coordinator. Actually I am thankful for the experience. It made me a better teacher.</p>\n<p>But I can\'t imagine how I allowed myself to be ruined by a close relationship with my superior. Although I had given 100% effort to all my school activities, I felt it wasn\'t worth the effort. The authority she exercised over me went overboard. She was on one big power trip and I began to resent her. I was fed up of everything she did. I was like a bird inside a cage struggling to be free. So on the verge of exasperation, I decided to leave. I didn\'t regret leaving. In fact as soon as I left, new doors opened.</p>\n<p>I had learned to speak Thai better. I had travelled to a lot of places in Thailand - as far south as Pattani and as far north as Chiangmai. I had met a lot of people. Above all, I had rediscovered my freedom.</p>\n<p>If I were to re-live those days, I should have distanced myself a bit more from my coordinator. Perhaps it is not only coordinators we have to keep at arm\'s length but also directors, co-teachers and even students because it could create complications in the future.

Don\'t panic. Let them know who the professional is.','<p>So it probably starts with an e-mail.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Thank you very much for your application for the vacant position of English teacher. We have looked over your resume and would like to invite you to our school to give a 30-minute demo lesson on Friday at 2pm. Please ask for Ajarn Somsak at reception.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many inexperienced teachers fear the demo lesson but it\'s become an integral part of the application and interview process.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some employers ask for a demo lesson because they genuinely know what they are looking for in a teacher and can spot a poor teacher a mile off.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some employers request a demo lesson just because everyone else does and it feels like the right thing to do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The employers in the second group haven\'t got a clue what they are looking for. Most of the time, they just want to make sure the teacher looks good.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Are you a teacher?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The demo lesson is the chance for a teacher to show a potential employer that they are the right person for the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one is expecting you to put on the finest performance of your life and leave the room to rapturous applause. But it\'s certainly the opportunity to show that you know your subject matter and you are comfortable with standing up in front of a group of students and presenting a lesson in which hopefully everyone learns something. If the participants actually enjoy the lesson, then that\'s a real bonus.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In short, you are there to show everyone that you are an English teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Both sides responsible</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But the success of a demo lesson isn\'t just down to the teacher. Certainly not. The onus is on the school as well to make sure that the demo lesson goes both smoothly and professionally.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The employer needs to provide a suitable environment for the demo lesson, arrange qualified evaluators (at least one person anyway) and organize an appropriate bunch of students or ‘guinea pigs\' who are all at reasonably the same level of English ability.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve done several demo lessons over the course of my teaching career and most of them have been forgettable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There\'s nothing more soul-destroying than standing in front of a group of ‘students\' who have been plucked out of thin air by the recruitment manager simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and have found themselves \'press-ganged\' into the whole charade.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So as the teacher, the respected ‘ajarn\', you end up teaching the fierce-looking head of recruitment who hasn\'t smiled since 1974, the nervous skinny girl from the accounting department who positively hates sitting in on demo lessons, and completing the trio is a bloke who looks like the security guard. Hang on! - it <em>is</em> the security guard.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Mismatch</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>And of course in terms of English ability, the frowning academic is virtually native-speaker fluent, the number cruncher normally runs and hides the moment a foreigner opens his mouth - and the security guard communicates with a system of grunts that only he truly understands. It is an appalling mismatch of \'judges\'.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few years ago, I was working for a corporate training provider selling presentation skills and e-mail writing seminars. The job involved getting on the phone and making appointments with training managers and then meeting with them to try and sell training courses - never an easy job at the best of times.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the difference this time around was that not only would I be the salesperson, but also the instructor actually conducting the courses. OK, I\'ll admit the opportunity to earn sales commissions as well as a teacher\'s hourly wage was the only reason I took the job in the first place.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Because I had far too much time on my hands and because I was desperate for sales, I offered companies a two-hour demo lesson - completely free!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I want to show you how great I am\" I boasted. \"Give me a training room and a small group of employees and I\'ll entertain you all with an hour of presentation techniques and an hour on how to improve your e-mail communication - Absolutely free\"</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A prospect</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Surprisingly, very few companies took me up on the offer. Perhaps they thought it was too good to be true. However, one German pharmaceutical company knew a bargain when they saw one and invited me along to their offices for a 1.00pm start.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I got to the office and was met by a flustered-looking training manager. \"Khun Philip. I totally forgot you were coming\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It wasn\'t the best of starts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Give me ten minutes to organize the training room\" the training manager said \"and then I\'ll make a few calls to find some volunteers\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I\'ll give you a hand with arranging the training room\" I said cheerfully, for I was eager to get things started.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was an enormous mistake on my part. It wasn\'t the company training room at all. Not the training room with the modern furniture, the electronic whiteboard and the jugs of iced water.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Oh no. This was more of a storage-room the size of a small aircraft hangar. When the training manager said \"we can have the demo lesson in here\" I thought it was part of some evil corporate prank. But she was deadly serious.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The training manager and I then spent the next half hour pushing desks, stacking tables and rearranging heavy box files. I was knackered. The sweat started to seep through the jacket of my navy blue suit. That\'s how hot and uncomfortable I was.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The training manager then made frantic attempts to rustle up a few volunteers and half an hour later, three women from the admin department shuffled into the room with all the enthusiasm of a turkey on Christmas Eve.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I can\'t remember how well or how badly the demo lesson went. Who cares? The only lesson learnt was if the Bangkok office of a multinational German company can\'t get things right and organize a demo lesson properly, what hope is there for a Thai government school in Lopburi?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seriously though, if you are invited to a school to do a demo lesson, what questions should you be asking in advance?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are a few to start you off - along with the reasons why you should be asking them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For me, the following questions are essential and I ain\'t doing no demo lesson until I know what to expect when I roll up at the school in my best navy blue whistle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How long do you want the demo lesson to be?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thirty minutes? Fine. Then I will prepare a 45-minute lesson to be on the safe side (but I won\'t tell you that).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And after thirty minutes, I shall look at my watch, nod my head in the direction of the most senior-looking person in the room and thank everyone for coming.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Time is money. Thirty minutes is what you asked for and thirty minutes is what you are going to get.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How many ‘evaluators\' will be present?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hopefully as you are standing up in front of the group, someone will be scribbling down notes and writing \"this is possibly the greatest teacher that ever walked the earth\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly, will that \'evaluator\' be part of the student group or will there be one solitary evaluator sitting in a corner of the room, shaking her head, muttering incoherently to herself and compiling her weekend shopping list.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Heaven forbid, will there be an evaluation panel? &nbsp;four individuals with faces that could turn milk sour, sitting behind a long table and passing notes to each other and wondering if this demo lesson is ever going to end.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Either way, you need to know what the arrangement is.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Will the final ‘decision-maker\' be present?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Imagine giving the performance of your life only to be told by the panel that they need to report the results of the demo lesson to someone else in order to make a hiring decision? - and that \'someone else\' wasn\'t even in the room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I mean how annoying is that?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How many ‘students\' will be present or rather what is the size of the group I\'m expected to teach?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You might have 50 students in your demo class. You might have two. You need to know your group size because the whole classroom dynamic changes accordingly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Certain subject matter will work better with larger groups and vice versa.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Size matters!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What level will the students be?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my opinion possibly the most important question. You don\'t want the students to gaze at you with a mixture of bewilderment and fear at the first lower-intermediate sentence. Because if that happens, you\'ve nowhere left to go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You may as well put the board marker in your pocket, locate the nearest fire exit and leg it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What kind of lesson should I prepare?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many employers will answer this question with the annoyingly vague \"up to you\". Sorry but that just won\'t cut it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Give me some parameters here. What structures are the students already familiar with? What age group are they? What are their interests? What could be deemed as an ‘appropriate\' topic?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s face it - it always makes sense to teach something you really enjoy teaching. I never ever did a demo lesson based around direct and indirect pronouns. I bloody hate teaching direct and indirect pronouns.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How many demos will I be expected to give before a decision is made?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Listen, I don\'t mind giving you one demo lesson but I think that\'s enough for you to be able to make a fair evaluation of my ability.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To get to your school, I got on the wrong bus and almost ended up in another province. I then had to take two motorcycle taxis and a canal boat. I\'m not going through all that again. No, really I\'m not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By having a potential employer answer all of the above questions, you\'ve bought yourself some insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If things don\'t go to plan; if the group turns out to be far more advanced than you anticipated, then it\'s not your fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can only prepare based on the information you\'ve been given. And if that information turns out to be misleading, then have a good moan about it and I will support you 100%.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/judges1.jpg','2018-05-31 18:23:00',1,'2017-05-10 18:23:34','2018-08-27 15:32:52'),(8161,21,'Your contributions always welcome','your-contributions-always-welcome','Can you spare some time to help fellow teachers?','Whether you fancy putting yourself up for a hot seat interview, airing your views in the ajarn postbox, telling us about where you live in a region guide or spending a few moments over a great escape survey, we would really love to have your contributions.','<p>If you can spare a little time, we would love your contributions to the ajarn website.

Can you offer them some good advice?','<p><strong>October 2012 -&nbsp;Here\'s a familiar&nbsp;story of a teacher who tries to be \'too clever\' and goes all out to antagonize the school management. There is almost certainly only going to be one outcome in these type of situations.</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m a 32 year old teacher from France and I moved to Thailand three years ago, initially because I was working as an executive for a French company. On the verge of the financial crisis in Europe, they appointed me to their Bangkok office. Life was good but the global economy got worse and my company decided to outsource the department I was working for to a Thai company 18 months or so later.\n<p>I was already well established in Thailand at the time so I had no intention to move back to France right away. As you can guess, the first job that came my way was as a teacher. I used to give private tuition when I was still a student in Paris and being from a family of teachers, I did not find it too difficult to fit the teacher\'s cloth but at first I found it hard to cope with the Thai education system and its \"no fail\" policy towards students.</p>\n<p>Ajarn.com and the various blogs were a great source of information and it helped me to better understand and adjust to Thai culture. I got my first teaching gig through an agency in Southern Thailand and I immediately liked the city I was in but as it often happens with agencies I soon found myself in need of a more \"serious\" teaching position and so I moved to Rayong where I happily taught English for about a year.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I was always keeping an eye on the job offers and being used to a higher paycheck, I was more than willing to get a better salary while making my way back to Southern Thailand. I thought I had found the perfect job when I applied for a French/English teaching job at an international school.</p>\n<p>I gave one month\'s notice to my school in Rayong and I swiftly moved back to the South.</p>\n<p>It quickly became obvious that I had made a huge mistake just a few days after the school term started. The school I was at supposedly followed the British curriculum so we started in mid-August. No books, no curriculum, crumbling classrooms and a bunch of unmotivated, disrespectful students. I could not believe this was happening in Thailand. I was already used to the formal, polite (even if sometimes fake) way of Thai students addressing their teachers. No such thing here.</p>\n<p>Two weeks later I was handed the contract. What can I say? 26 periods per week, a 5% levy on my 32K salary, no paid holidays for the first three months, gate duty, an obligation to sign a log-book whenever anyone was leaving school (including for a 5 minute trip to the nearby 7/11).</p>\n<p>I refused at first to sign the contract, saying that I was not informed about any of this prior to or during the interview that I had passed just two months earlier. At the end of the week, I was told that I would lose my job immediately if I did not sign the contract.</p>\n<p>The school refused to change anything (I certainly wanted to be freed from the gate duty at least, but no). I forgot to say I had to pay for my own visa and work permit (I never even put my hands on the latter, the management kept hold of all the work permits).</p>\n<p>The situation with the students got worse, not only for me but for all the teachers that had started at the same time as I did (the \"old\" ones had already given up). No respect, no attempt to study or learn anything, and whenever I was trying to enforce any kind of discipline, the parents complained and I was called to the office.</p>\n<p>That\'s when I started going around the local farang places asking questions and getting some answers. It turned out that the school had had no less than ten foreign teachers hired and then fired within the past 12 months. All the people that had been working there were very bitter about the whole thing.</p>\n<p>Most of the complaints were about the inane management and their greediness and lack of manners or empathy towards their \"employees\" (I would not dare to call ourselves \"teachers\").</p>\n<p>The strategy was to send us an endless number of memos about almost anything that we had to sign just to make sure that we \"understood\". The main purpose was of course intimidation: \"memo: you\'re still on a probation period, we can let you go within 24 hours\" / \"memo: you can\'t leave school without permission or we can let you go within 24 hours\", etc. You get the point.</p>\n<p>One morning, it was just before 8 o\'clock and I was at the gate when the director\'s personal pet came to me and some other teachers to ask us to sign yet another memo. That time I just drew a sheep and signed my name over it. Other teachers followed. As long as you\'re treated like a sheep, you might as well sign as one, I thought!</p>\n<p>I did not have to wait very long before I was called to the office. There I was asked to give some explanation about the sheep thing. I politely answered that I was not 12 years old and that, as a teacher, I was not intending to be treated like one of the students.</p>\n<p>I brought to her attention that I was holding two master\'s degrees and that I had a significant amount of work experience in respected places and businesses. I got lectured about not obeying the school rules / Thai culture blah blah blah and showed to the door.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Three days later I was sacked (sports days and holidays were coming up, so it was a nice way to save some money, wasn\'t it?). Another teacher (a Filipina) was sacked the same day, and asked to leave the premises immediately, even though she was not on a probation period anymore. Apparently it was because she had the misfortune to be sick for two days during the month. Sigh... I left without a protest and found a new job within a week, this time in a well-established government school.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"63\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/philfrontpage.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"55\" />Can I say first of all that under no circumstances must individuals or actual school names be mentioned in these accounts. I have also edited the name of the city so there is less chance of any &lsquo;association\'.</p>\n<p>\n<p>You\'re obviously a very intelligent and well-qualified guy. Reading your story I just wonder if having lost your position of prestige in a Bangkok company, you approached teaching English with something of a &lsquo;this is beneath me\' mindset. And upon facing all the admin and management problems that many teachers have to deal with on a daily basis, things affected you and annoyed you very quickly. But please forgive me if I have got that assumption totally wrong.</p>\n<p>Because you\'re an intelligent man, I\'m sure you must have known that the moment you replied to a memo with the drawing of a sheep, your days were numbered. I\'ve been here over 20 years and I\'m yet to meet a Thai that does sarcasm.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been in this position myself. I\'ve sent antagonistic e-mails and memos to Thai management when I have felt wronged. It makes you feel good for a fleeting moment. However, there\'s only ever one outcome and only ever one winner - and it\'s never the teacher. You\'re immediately labeled as a &lsquo;troublemaker\' and it\'s a label that you\'ll never shake off. The only certainty is that the exit door won\'t be too far away.</p>\n<p>If you feel you can\'t put up with the shit anymore, you should vote with your feet and leave. Don\'t burn your bridges and make enemies.</p>\n<p>It\'s a great shame that you couldn\'t get around the restaurants and bars and meet some of these foreign teachers BEFORE you actually started working. It\'s always a good strategy if you have the time and the savings to fall back on while you are not employed. It would have certainly saved you a lot of stress.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I\'m glad to hear you\'ve found a decent teaching gig though. That\'s the way it often is here - you might have to kiss a few frogs before you find a prince.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>June 2012 - Do you&nbsp;have any recourse when&nbsp;you miss the start of term and the agency decides to give your position to the substitute teacher?</strong></p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>I secured a six-month contract with a teacher placement agency and both my contract and visa will expire in September of this year. I informed the agency owner that I would be returning home for 22 days and I would miss the start of the new school term. The school term started on May 24th and the agency owner decided to hire a substitute teacher to cover my classes. However, when I returned to Thailand, the school and agency had decided to keep the cover teacher on because they felt the students would become confused if they had a change of teacher so early in the new school year. I felt that this was just an excuse to get rid of me. I also paid 3,000 baht for a work visa and don\'t think I will get that back. Does the school or agency have the right to cut a work visa before it expires? What can I do?</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"63\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/philfrontpage.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"55\" /></p>\n<p>There is no such thing as a &lsquo;work visa\' in Thailand. Immigration will grant you an &lsquo;extension of stay\' on your non-immigrant visa based on possession of a teachers licence and possibly a contract - or retirement or marriage, etc, etc, but you cannot apply for a &lsquo;work visa\' - it simply doesn\'t exist.\n<p>Your employer probably charged you 3,000 baht for the process of getting your teachers licence, work permit and visa extension done. Some employers do it for free; others don\'t. But there\'s always an awful lot of running around to be done. Once your employer decides your services are not required, they return the work permit to the Thai Labour Department and your extension of stay visa (which is linked to that work permit) becomes null and void. Is this what has happened to you?</p>\n<p>I haven\'t got a great deal of sympathy for this particular &lsquo;teacher nightmare\' I\'m afraid. Surely no one signs up for a short six-month contract and then has to inform their new employer that they will be disappearing for the best part of a month and actually missing the start of the new term.</p>\n<p>What you should have done is told the agency to find a new teacher, taken your 22-day trip - and then looked for a new job when you returned to Thailand. You don\'t go into the reason for the 22-day trip back home and I appreciate that there are such things as family emergencies, but that\'s life. You ended up putting your employer in a very awkward position.</p>\n</p>\n<p>This year has been a particularly difficult year for schools and agencies looking to recruit quality teaching staff. There haven\'t been enough good prospects around. I\'m willing to bet that your agency found themselves a reliable, decent teacher to cover your classes and decided to stick with them - not knowing even if you were going to come back at all. The &lsquo;students will become confused if we change teachers\' line was in all likelihood a face-saving excuse. And why not indeed</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>February 2012 - This is a case of a seemingly well-established school cutting corners and trying to \'nickel and dime\' its foreign teaching staff.</strong></p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>I have worked in Thailand as&nbsp;both an English teacher and a teacher of specialized academic subjects&nbsp;for almost twenty years. Last week my school tried to get all the teachers to sign new contracts for next year. Nobody signed. In this new&nbsp;contract are steep cuts in medical benefits, an increase in taxes for teachers with work permits, and a cut in our housing stipend of 2,000 baht per month. It all&nbsp;adds up.&nbsp;Note also&nbsp;that our school has been operating on an oral contract for the past&nbsp;six years since I have been with them and signed the original contract. My questions are as follows - are we obligated to sign these contracts even if we don\'t agree with the terms? And are there any options for us as foreign expats in Thailand to pursue some sort of legal channel?&nbsp; One of the other schools&nbsp;in the group&nbsp;has given teaching staff&nbsp;until&nbsp;the end of the week&nbsp;to sign or else they will lose their jobs.&nbsp;Surely this can\'t be legal under Thai law?</p>\n<p>One of our teaching staff is actually a qualified lawyer with many years of experience. He is telling all the teachers to stand their ground. He believes that if the school want to cancel our contracts, they will have to \'buy us out\' so for example if a teacher has been employed at the school for over five years, he or she is entitled to a severance pay totalling at least six months salary. If a teacher has been at the school for three years, they are entitled to three months pay. But understandably a lot of teachers are getting very nervous.</p>\n</p>\n<hr />\n<p><img height=\"63\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/philfrontpage.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"55\" />This \'nickel and diming\' of teachers (cutting benefits, etc) seems to be becoming a disturbing trend as we approach the time when teachers are looking to sign new contracts. I spoke to one teacher last week whose school has already cut the housing allowance and are also reducing the number of paid sick days. In addition, the school is starting new teachers on a salary that\'s 5,000 baht lower than the starting salary in previous years. Another teacher said that salaries are being cut at their school from mid-40K to below 40K a month. That\'s a hell of a drop for someone who has got used to living on a mid-40K income. This teacher also went on to say that in another attempt to claw back money, the teachers have all found their number of teaching hours increased. Firstly, does anyone have any suggestions on how the teacher in the situation above&nbsp;should proceed and does he have any legal recourse? Secondly, are you a teacher falling victim to these cutbacks or is it business as usual?

So then - are teacher salaries really going down?','<p>After hearing many teachers complain about TEFL salaries in Thailand and the fact that&nbsp;they seem to only&nbsp;be going in one direction. I decided to e-mail thirty to forty&nbsp;companies who are currently in the process of hiring teachers in order to get their hopefully realistic&nbsp;views.&nbsp;Those surveyed included agents, government schools, universities, private language schools, etc.</p>\n<p>Sadly, I got something of a lukewarm response, which often happens when I send out these surveys and try to get to the heart of the matter. People seem to like playing&nbsp;things close to their chest.&nbsp;However, massive respect to those who did&nbsp;reply and send me their answers.</p>\n<p>Please note that I have numbered the answers only to divide them up and let you see where the responses from different people&nbsp;begin and end. The numbers in each answer category&nbsp;do not signify that they are from the same person.</p>\n<p>If I get more survey&nbsp;responses&nbsp;trickle in over the coming weeks, I will certainly update the information.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Quite a number of foreign teachers are complaining that teacher salaries in Thailand are actually decreasing or at least they have stayed the same for a number of years. Firstly do you think it\'s true and if so what are the reasons?</strong></p>\n<p>1) Yes I do think that\'s true. I am one of the few agencies that I know of - after talking to teachers who work for others - that actually gives two to four percent raises every year. I think the current situation is simply due to supply and demand and the fact that agencies are running a business and want to keep their bottom line down as much as possible. Due to the terrible economy in many Western nations, there is now a glut of young, energetic (but unqualified) native speakers available.</p>\n<p>It\'s cheaper for agencies to hire a 23-year old college grad with no teaching experience and pay those teachers 25,000 a month than it is to hire someone with experience and have to pay that teacher 40,000. I don\'t agree with that practice and I don\'t do it because I don\'t think it works in the long term. These type of agencies usually only stay at any school for one or two years maximum before their contract fails to get renewed due to the low quality of the teachers they provide. But if the agency has many client schools on their books, I guess they can afford to not care.</p>\n<p>2) This situation of decreasing salaries is because The Ministry of Education doesn\'t allocate enough budget to government schools for foreign teachers. Perhaps things might change if we see a new education minister.</p>\n<p>3) I don\'t find it true at all.</p>\n<p>4) I think we hit a peak about two years ago, when you saw a lot more 40,000+ salaries than you do now. Nowadays, thirty seems to be the new forty.</p>\n<p>5) I have heard salaries are the same as they were 8 years ago but can\'t confirm this because I\'ve only been here for one year. The probable reason is that most teachers lack proper teaching experience, or are here for travel and will take any job. Then there are the retired guys just wanting something to do so they are not too bothered about money</p>\n<p>6) I have witnessed a decrease with government school salaries. We were told that their budgets had been cut for other things so they had to make up the money.</p>\n<p>7) I think salaries have stayed the same for the last 5 years. And&nbsp;I think the main&nbsp;reason&nbsp;is that there are now&nbsp;many smaller companies&nbsp;offering to do the same job for less. We have also seen more teachers coming here - especially from South Africa - willing to work for as little as 30,000 THB per month.</p>\n<p>8) The salaries we pay are not decreasing, but they are staying the same, generally at the bog-standard 35,000b per month. We don\'t make a huge profit per teacher like so many foreign teachers think -&nbsp;and trying to get more money from a school, government or private, is very difficult, even for a renewal contract. Also, it is now more difficult to place teachers&nbsp;at government schools as they are now supposed to take the lowest contract bid from an agency.</p>\n<p>9) I\'m not sure salaries are decreasing but they are certainly not going up either.</p>\n<p><strong>Many teachers are also complaining about schools cutting back on benefits such as health insurance and also making teachers work more hours for the same money. Do you think that there is a lot more &lsquo;cost-cutting\' going on?</strong></p>\n<p>1) The teachers at our school are having to work more hours because of all the hours lost last year during the flood crisis. It\'s a case of &lsquo;making up the hours lost\'. No one is finding themselves with more teaching hours for the same salary.</p>\n<p>2) It sounds like you\'re referring to language schools. Truthfully, I have never been able to stir up enough interest in a group insurance program to make it possible, and we are in no position to pay the full cost for them.</p>\n<p>3) Yes, I think there\'s a lot more cost-cutting going on these days and I can\'t see the situation improving any time soon.</p>\n<p>4) I think we are seeing the fallout from last year\'s flooding. Let\'s face it - someone has to pay for all those sandbags. And I\'ve even heard of schools that experienced no flooding whatsoever jumping on the bandwagon and cutting benefits - then citing flooding as the reason. That only works with new teachers though.</p>\n<p>5) Yes I do, but I cannot speak for individual schools. We are an agency who offer teachers 35,000 per month and full BUPA cover.</p>\n<p>6) I follow some of the discussions on&nbsp;teacher forums and I&nbsp;know some of the teachers&nbsp;posting on&nbsp;there personally. Even though&nbsp;they don\'t work for me, I know the truth and many of those teachers complaining only have themselves to blame. We haven\'t cut back on anything or added more hours to teacher schedules,&nbsp;neither are we&nbsp;expecting teachers to work harder&nbsp;for the same salary.</p>\n<p>7) Our contracts are bog-standard and do not usually include health insurance from the school. It is not something they offer readily. I have seen that some schools, not just with&nbsp;us but friends at different schools have been given extra classes with no extra remuneration given. When this happens with ourselves, ie, a teacher being given an extra 2 or 3 classes per week, we try to get an increase in salary. Sometimes we are successful, but not always. My own opinion is that most schools have teachers between 8am and 4pm, so the number of teaching hours is irrelevant. I may be wrong with that view.\n<p><strong>Have you noticed any changes or trends in the type of people who are applying for your teaching jobs? </strong></p>\n<p>1) Overall, I would say that the quality of applicant is greatly improved over what it used to be years ago.</p>\n<p>2) Yes, I\'ve noticed that most of the truly qualified and well experienced native speaking teachers are going overseas or to high-end international or private schools locally, where the pay and benefits are much better. Most of the people applying to me now are unqualified or inexperienced native English speakers looking for their first teaching job in Thailand. I still get the same deluge of Filipino applicants with degrees in education that respond to any job ad I place of course.</p>\n<p>Yes, most applicants are not native speakers. Now there are many from Africa, Philippines and non-native speaking European countries. It shows how bad the European economy is when people can\'t find jobs there.</p>\n<p>3) There seems to be a lot more people applying for jobs whenever we advertise.</p>\n<p>4) We see all kinds of people applying for our teaching jobs. In the past we were lucky if any good teachers applied for the jobs we offered at all. But now we have&nbsp;lots of choice, which is good for the teaching industry. I think in the past teachers felt that we needed them and they could behave as they pleased. If they got&nbsp;fired from one school, they would just&nbsp;move on to the next. These teachers are now whining about how bad things&nbsp;have got&nbsp;now. But I think the schools are more pleased than ever&nbsp;with the standard of teachers.</p>\n</p>\n<p>5) In the last year or so there has been a definite difference in the teachers applying. We are now getting as lot of newbie teachers, more than ever.\n<p>6) I have seen a distinct lack of professionalism and work ethic, in both new teachers and those&nbsp;with several years experience. Starting at the interview stage, I arrange interviews with so many teachers and they just don\'t turn up. No phone call, no email, or even a&nbsp;text message to cancel the appointment. At schools, too many teachers walk into the classroom with the course book and that\'s it.&nbsp;We prepare worksheets, lesson plans and other teaching materials to give to teachers, but they are not always used. I think overall the level of teaching is lower than it has been in the last few years.</p>\n<p>7) Teachers coming for interviews seem to be a lot more desperate for a job because they have bills to pay or they have seen their savings dwindle down to almost nothing. Years ago, when a good teacher came for an interview, they always seemed to have plenty of options open. That doesn\'t seem to be the trend now.</p>\n<p><strong>How about when teachers come to you for an interview, have you noticed any differences in people\'s attitudes?</strong></p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<p>1) I don\'t personally interview teachers much anymore, but often exchange e-mails with them before they arrive. If anything, I find a great deal more respectfulness, overall, than what they used to show.</p>\n<p>2) Among foreigners who have been here a while, there seems to be a lot of anger, resentment and negative attitudes towards the new, stricter teacher licensing rules from the Teachers Council. Among new teachers there seems to be a lot of fear, anxiety and ignorance about these rules.</p>\n<p>3) Teachers ask far more questions at interviews than they used to. I\'ve got no problem with that. I think it\'s got to the stage where many teachers have had bad experiences too many times and they are wary about joining another poor school.</p>\n<p>4) I haven\'t noticed anything unusual apart from the fact that you still get the same number of no-shows without as much as a quick phone call to explain why.</p>\n<p>5) The most disturbing thing is just how many teachers have developed the mindset that there is no such thing as a good teaching job in Thailand. That can\'t be good. Not for anyone.</p>\n<p>6) I don\'t really understand your question. Their attitude is that they want a job or they wouldn\'t come for an interview would they?</p>\n<p>7) Yes, I recall a teacher applying for a job with us and when I called him up he basically yelled at me and told how he&nbsp;wouldn\'t work&nbsp;for less than 600&nbsp;baht an hour. Now I have more choice and can pick the&nbsp;teachers whose attitude&nbsp;I like. I prefer a&nbsp;good attitude to teaching&nbsp;experience. But if possible I\'ll take&nbsp;both.</p>\n</p>\n<p>8) I don\'t personally conduct the interviews, but the feedback I have received about teachers that do attend is mixed between nice presentable, professional teachers to those we would rather not see again.</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>I think it\'s fair to say that the average teacher salary has been in the region of 30-35K for the last ten years. Do you think ten years from now, teachers will still be earning those kinds of salaries?</strong></p>\n<p>1) I\'m not a prognosticator, though it\'s clear that salaries go up slowly. I\'m not sure though if you are referring to salaries at language schools or kids schools.</p>\n<p>2) No. I think that whether they want to or not, schools and agencies will have to face up to the reality and admit that they have to start paying more and offering more benefits if they want to get people who Thai schools, students and parents will accept.</p>\n<p>3) Salaries probably will stay the same because one of the underlying &lsquo;problems\' - certainly as far as career teachers are concerned - is that Thailand is such an attractive place to spend a couple of years in. The cost of living is relatively low compared to other countries in Asia. It\'s easy to (cough!) make friends and form relationships with the locals. What young person, fresh out of university, wouldn\'t love to spend a year or two here. And all they ask is survival wages. I\'m sure Thailand is more than happy with that arrangement.</p>\n<p>4) Salaries will probably stay the same unless Thailand becomes such a huge economy they can pay more but I doubt it.</p>\n<p>5) I think salaries will certainly be the same for government schools.</p>\n<p>6) We are an agency and at the moment&nbsp;we are having a&nbsp;hard time getting decent money from the schools. I try to make sure my teachers are getting at least 35,000 THB per month but I doubt it will improve much over&nbsp;the next 10 years.</p>\n</p>\n<p>7) I agree with&nbsp;your average salary rate. I don\'t see anything changing drastically with this unless there is a real shake-up&nbsp;in the thinking&nbsp;of the government&nbsp;and the Ministry of Education.</p>\n<p>8) I have no ide but no one is ever going to get rich teaching English in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Are you finding it easier or more difficult to recruit quality teachers compared to say, last year or five years ago?</strong></p>\n<p>\n<p>1) It\'s easier now than in the past.</p>\n<p>2) Well, we get a good number of teachers through our TEFL course, and these work out great. As you know, we sometimes advertise on your website, and generally get more applicants than we know what to do with.</p>\n<p>3) About the same, but I think this is only because I pay entry level salaries that are higher than all of my competition in an effort to offset this obstacle. I would rather make a little less profit and have stability with low turnover than make a lot of money with a higher turnover. I have 22 teachers now and my average, yearly turnover is just two teachers, which I think is fantastic compared to most other agencies out there.</p>\n<p>4) It\'s always been&nbsp;difficult to find&nbsp;quality, reliable&nbsp;teachers&nbsp;with classroom teaching experience. Nothing has changed.</p>\n<p>5) I actually think it\'s got much, much harder to find good teachers in Thailand. I think a lot of the better teachers have moved on to other countries. I used to bump into a lot of my ex-teaching staff on the skytrain (still on good terms though I might add) but I haven\'t seen many of them for a long time. I\'m guessing they must have moved on.</p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<p>6) The situation has improved a lot in&nbsp;the last&nbsp;two years. I took over&nbsp;from a really bad manager who tried to take advantage of teachers just&nbsp;to please the boss. However if you treat people like trash then you\'re only going to&nbsp;end up with teachers who have nowhere else to go. We are honest and straightforward&nbsp;with our teachers and it is working really well.</p>\n</p>\n<p>7) It is now much harder to employ quality teachers as it was, say two or three years ago.</p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>Do you think the increase in the number of teacher placement agencies has been a good thing or a bad thing for Thailand\'s TEFL industry? </strong>\n<p>1) I think they are a good thing as long as they can avoid paying corruption money under the table and they can still pay the teachers a reasonable salary.</p>\n</p>\n<p>2) It\'s a very bad thing if they are not also reputable schools in their own right. They harm the chances of qualified teachers who lose out to unqualified ones \'sold\' to the schools by these agents.</p>\n<p>3) I would say it\'s a bad thing - simply because most of them have no idea what they are doing. For example, one of my local competitors is owned by a 23-year old kid who went for two semesters of college in The States. He then borrowed a considerable sum from his Mom and Dad and started his own unlicensed agency. He actually has to ask his own teachers about tax, immigration, work permit and licensing issues and nearly always pays salaries late. Unfortunately in my experience the vast majority of agencies out there are like his. It\'s sad for teachers and students, but I have to say that it\'s good for me!</p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<p>4) The reasons why schools change to using&nbsp;agencies are simple. The teachers are screwing it up for&nbsp;themselves. They don\'t respect the school and they don\'t respect their fellow&nbsp;teachers. Schools&nbsp;end up having&nbsp;a hard time handling the teachers. After hiring teachers directly, they&nbsp;realize that it is not worth the hassle or the money they save.&nbsp;It\'s better to hand all the responsibility to an agency rather than deal with the headaches that come when they have to deal with teachers directly.</p>\n<p>5) Agencies are fine if, and I mean if, they do a decent job and take care of the teacher. Too many agencies are just out to make easy money and they end up screwing things up for everyone else. I\'ve heard some real horror stories from teachers who have come to work with us from past agencies.</p>\n</p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p><strong>What do you think Thailand needs to do to attract more quality teachers to come and work here or do you think things are fine as they are?</strong></p>\n<p>1) Things are great as they are, relatively speaking. Let\'s face it - professional teachers working for good salaries abroad are not going to sell their home and their car and their other belongings just to come to Thailand to teach for a fraction of that amount (Some do, though, but not many). And even if they did, the teaching quality would not be as good as that of a tefl teacher trained here - even if he or she lacks a degree - as being a \'professional\' teaching English native speakers is a far, far cry from being a \'professional\' at teaching ESL/EFL learners</p>\n<p>2) Things are certainly not fine. Thailand needs to start having more inclusive, user-friendly rules and regulations where foreign teachers are concerned (or where everything else is concerned for that matter). For example, any foreigner who tries to call the Teachers Council to ask questions about the licensing regulations ends up hanging up the phone in frustration because no one speaks English well enough to answer them.</p>\n<p>The typical response, from The TCT is \"Well this is Thailand. They need to learn to speak Thai\". They are right, of course, but that is an unrealistic expectation. When even little things like a help line that actually works cannot be pulled off, what does that say about the big picture? It says that the big picture is run very unprofessionally.</p>\n<p>The Thais seem almost adamant about NOT adapting to the English speaking world, yet expect highly qualified, experienced, dedicated foreign teachers to come here in droves to teach for 22,000 baht a month. The government has official pay scale levels in place for teachers with certain sets of qualifications. For example, any teacher (foreign or Thai) with a PhD in their respective field, should have an entry level salary of 22,000 baht per month at any government school or university. 22,000! When I point out that no self-respecting native speaker who matches those qualifications would go for that, their invariable response is something like \"This is Thailand! If they don\'t like it - they should leave!\"</p>\n<p>And that is exactly what good teachers are doing - in droves. This nationalistic, jingoistic Thai attitude is killing Thailand. But good luck getting anybody in a position of power to admit that or act intelligently on it. This ship called the education system of Thailand is sinking fast and the smart rats are jumping ship while they see the chance.</p>\n<p>I can only try to change the culture of the client schools I have. Let Thailand help itself, because they certainly don\'t want any help from any foreigner.</p>\n<p>3) Well a lot of the placement agencies are of a very poor standard and the TEFL companies make promises they don\'t keep, such as promising a person a job after the TEFL course then not providing one. Then when the teacher finds another job they don\'t give the certificate until the teacher gives them money. We are a placement agency but we design our own total conversation programs, sell them to the schools with teachers and provide full support. We don\'t just place a teacher in a school and leave them to fend for themselves as most do</p>\n<p>4) Better salaries and conditions for starters. Many schools still have a whiteboard and the teacher stands there teaching, which is so boring for the students who all now have phones, I-pods and all manner of electronic gadgets.</p>\n<p>Teachers vary so much in quality. A student can go into one class and have a good teacher then go into another and have a bad one.</p>\n<p>Corruption is another issue. Many times we go to sell our programs around schools and the director or assistant director is asking us what\'s in it for them. Until these people stop thinking about themselves and start thinking about the kids it wont change</p>\n<p>5) I think we need to look at how we can get people to stay here longer. Keeping the teachers we have is a lot easier than recruiting new ones.</p>\n</p>\n<p>6) Things have&nbsp;never been perfect here for teachers. I think the Thais feel that&nbsp;foreign teachers&nbsp;are paid a lot already and therefore there is&nbsp;no need to improve things</p>\n</p>\n<p>7) I think major changes need to happen. The ministries of Labour and Education plus the Immigration need to work together and stop changing the process to obtain work permits. It is a headache trying to obtain work permits for teachers as one ministry says something different from the other or even individuals say contrasting things. The whole process needs to be made much easier, as at the moment it is very convoluted for schools, agencies and teachers alike. I also know many teachers are not happy about paying for the Thai teaching and ethics course</p>\n<p>I also honestly believe they need to disregard the requirement for a degree. Having a degree does not make a better teacher. I have seen many teachers over the last few years and some of the teachers without degrees have been our best teachers. Overall, I think it evens itself out. Teachers should be means tested on their ability or approved by the school they work at. Teachers with degrees could simply get paid more because of their higher educational standard.</p>\n<p><strong>In your organization, have Thai staff salaries increased at a faster rate than those of foreign teachers over the last five or ten years?</strong></p>\n<p>\n<p>1) No, we pay at the same rate, generally, whether they\'re Thai or foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>2) At the same percentage rate per year but the entry level salary is lower to begin with. I actually want to pay them the same as my native speakers but my client schools refuse to pay me at the same rate so I can\'t. Technically speaking I could - but I would lose money on their contracts.</p>\n</p>\n<p>3) I don\'t deal with Thai salaries, so I really don\'t know. I can say that they don\'t get paid anywhere near the salary of a native English speaking teacher.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/nowhiring1.jpg','2012-04-20 22:58:44',1,'2012-04-20 22:58:44','2012-04-21 13:01:45'),(8388,21,'Young teachers vs old teachers?','young-teachers-vs-old-teachers','Which age group do Thai employers really prefer?','It’s the argument that refuses to go away.

The weekend after that we are going on a two-day scuba-diving course\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What would really solve your scheduling nightmares would be if this teacher got eaten by a shark. But why shouldn\'t they be out and about doing fun activities? You\'re only young and gorgeous once.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I once worked with a young female teacher who was forever doing things with elephants. \"Sorry Phil, I can\'t teach my class on Saturday because a group of us are going into the forest to take elephant photographs. Then we\'ll be giving them a bath. Come to think of it, I probably won\'t be back for my Monday class either because the head of the elephant village wants us to stay on for a meal and a game of three-card brag\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The teacher and her elephant diversions became a pain in the arse. I\'m all for animal conservation but why couldn\'t she just throw a couple of chicken legs to the pack of dogs at the end of her soi like the rest of us do?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - Yes, get in there! The older teachers race into a one-nil lead. What excitement! Someone pass me my inhaler. Quick!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Classroom ability</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is a very difficult one to call. In one corner you have the younger teachers, fresh off their TEFL courses and their brains positively exploding with new ideas. But come on! - how long is it going to be before the class gets bored of throwing a ball around?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No, I\'m sorry - nothing whatsoever beats experience. The older teacher has a plan B when no one in the class has done their homework. The older teacher has a back-up plan when the DVD player has decided to go on strike. Simply put, the older teacher has been in these situations time and time again and age has brought with it the gift of wisdom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And as the TV monitor emits a terrifying death rattle and the young teacher beats a path to the reception to ask why the hell nothing in this school ever works, the older teacher dips into his bag of tricks and conjures up an hour\'s lesson out of thin air.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - Pass me another mint humbug. It\'s two-nil to the older teachers. Dear young teachers, you are getting your ass kicked. Kind regards. Phil.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teacher development / staff meetings</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Familiarity breeds contempt. It\'s an old adage that\'s probably going to drag the older teachers down in this keenly fought contest.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While younger teachers will want to do everything they can to please their employer, the older teachers have had enough. They have seen far too much of their precious drinking time eaten away over the years by pointless meetings and dull workshops.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Teachers meeting on Friday at 4.00pm. All welcome. Free drinks and food will be provided.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If that\'s supposed to do the trick; it doesn\'t.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Older teachers have had their fill of cheap tuna spread on white bread sandwiches and glasses of that awful green pop that only seems to be sold in Thailand. And the last thing an older teacher wants to do is sit in on a workshop and be told how to improve his teaching by someone barely old enough to shave.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - the youngsters hit back and win their first round - just by turning up. But it\'s still 2-1 to the older teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Financial situation</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the main questions that younger teachers seem to ask on teacher discussion forums is ‘how much money do I need to bring with me when I arrive in Thailand?\' This probably translates as ‘I\'ve saved up enough money for my first evening meal and a bus fare from the airport but I\'ll be OK provided I find a job within 24 hours\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older teachers haven\'t spent a lifetime scrimping and saving for nothing. They\'re probably sitting on a nice little pension plan back in the old country. Some might even have a tidy little property in the back streets of Rotherham that they\'re renting out to students and illegal immigrants all sleeping twelve to a room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older teacher\'s kids have gone through college, the ex-wife has been paid off. Life is good. Who cares if teacher salaries in Thailand haven\'t gone up for twenty years when you\'ve already feathered your financial nest?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I know what the young teachers are all saying - \"oh, but we are in the prime of our lives. We can go back to our own country any time and pull in megabucks working in something like the IT industry\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well here\'s the news. Firstly, the computer jobs have all gone to 16-year old whizz-kids and secondly, I\'m not sure you\'ve even got a country to go back to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should have listened to your dad when he told you it\'s never too early to start a pension plan. You thought he was just a silly old sod who woke you up on Sunday mornings when he mowed the lawn and also drank far too much at Christmas - but dads always know best!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - OK, there are people of all age groups who are hopeless at handling money, but I make the rules and I\'m still giving this round to the older teachers. 3-1.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Dress sense / general attractiveness</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I can sense that the younger teachers have filed this round under \'foregone conclusion\' but whoa!, hold on a second. Let\'s not be too hasty.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Younger teachers are undoubtedly more stylish, more fashionable, more ‘with it\' (to use one of my mom\'s favorite expressions) but that doesn\'t mean older teachers have all let themselves go and no longer care about shirt / tie combinations and matching socks. I\'ve seen many an older teacher who can still cut the mustard in the classroom fashion stakes. At least they know how to tie a bloody Windsor knot!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the older you get, the harder you have to try - and the more thought you have to put into what clothes look better on the more mature teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The mirror never lies. You won\'t carry off those slim leg trousers like a younger teacher will. And you can pat that wobbly belly and tell me it\'s all paid for as many times as you like, that torso-hugging white shirt looks far better when it\'s stretched across a six-pack.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But let\'s cut to the chase - no one is fooling anyone. In Thailand, image is everything. And you ask a hundred school directors if they would like their new teacher to look young or ‘old\' - fifty will say ‘young\' without a moment\'s hesitation, twenty will say they\'re not bothered, and thirty will lie and say ‘we would prefer an older teacher\'.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - Begrudgingly, I\'m going to give this round to the younger teachers. There are plenty of badly-dressed teachers in both groups - but the young teacher group just seems to have fewer of them. It\'s still 3-2 to the golden oldies.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Dating students</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>All teachers - young and older - know that dating students is a no-no. But it\'s much harder to say no-no for the younger teachers, who can find themselves in a country where almost everyone seems to fancy them for their movie star looks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older teacher knows exactly where the lines are drawn. They may have dabbled and spread the love around in their younger teaching days but now they have a loyal Thai wife or partner waiting for them at home and the wild days are well and truly behind them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And even if they happen to be in a relationship where the passion has gone missing, the older teacher knows exactly where his needs can be catered for if he fancies some Friday night \'how\'s your father\'. Just don\'t expect him to tell you where.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The younger teacher can have a difficult time dealing with all this new-found adulation. After what seems like a lifetime on his native soil, trawling the pubs and clubs of some grey northern city and enjoying the odd one-night stand with a wobbly, chain-smoking divorcee, he\'s suddenly spoilt for choice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Employers know the risks involved when they hire a good-looking young teacher and the students are of what you might call \'an impressionable age\'. You can put as many warnings in the teacher contract as you like; common sense and responsibility don\'t always go hand in hand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - It\'s another round to the golden oldies. 4-2 in favor of age and wisdom.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>General moaning and groaning</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The new textbooks haven\'t arrived yet\"\r\n	<br>\"The photocopier is on the blink\"\r\n	<br>\"Sorry but salaries will be paid late this month\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At any school, the list of administrative cock-ups and excuses just goes on and on. It\'s merely a question of who handles them better - the younger teacher or the older teacher?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Who will just shrug their shoulders, say ‘mai pen rai\" and when none of the Thai staff are looking, take out their frustration on the teachers room filing cabinet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - I\'ve seen too many teachers of all ages throw hissy fits when things don\'t quite go as planned. It\'s too close to call so it\'s honors even. Older teachers still 4-2 up.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Loyalty</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Which teacher is going to give a school years of loyal service and become almost part of the furniture? Surely this round has to go to the older teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s harder for older teachers to chop and change and move schools simply because their options will most certainly decrease as the years advance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think human nature dictates that the older you get, the more set in your ways you become and change is not something you embrace as much as when you were younger and more carefree. I</p>\r\n\r\n<p>f the older teacher has put down roots and now has a wife and kids depending on him, then the last thing he wants is to be out of work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Younger teachers generally have fewer ties. If they get a job offer at a school that\'s closer to a decent beach, then they can sling their backpack and worldly possessions into the back of a taxi and they\'re gone in a cloud of exhaust fumes. If the new school is paying a better salary - bingo!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - It\'s 5-2 to the golden oldies. Surely there\'s no way back for the young guns now.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Ability to change</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s always one of the less desirable aspects of an academic director\'s job - that moment when you have to drag some polite old boy into the office for a private chat. Anyone who has been an AD will know where I\'m coming from.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"John, I observed your lesson today. The students just didn\'t get a chance to speak. All I heard was your voice for a full on 90 minutes. I don\'t know about the students but even I was nodding off\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong. You end up having chats like this with plenty of young teachers as well. Most teachers need a little guidance from time to time but the important question is ‘who is willing to change?\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - Oh, this is such a tough one to call. Some teachers will strive to change; others will thank you for your feedback, mumble \"who the f*** does he think he is\" the moment they get outside and immediately go back into lecture mode. I\'m giving this round to the younger teachers - but only just. Older teachers 5 young teachers 3.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Ability to get along with the Thai staff.</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Here we go again - familiarity breeds contempt.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older teacher has had the Thai staff forget to pass on important messages just once too often. The older teacher has had staff forget to tell him about last-minute student cancellations more times than he cares to remember.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The older teacher has spent years in Thailand putting up with these Thai traits. He probably has a wife at home who has displayed every single one of them at some time or another. He doesn\'t need the same agro at school as well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is not to say the older teacher is constantly at odds with the Thai staff. He\'ll always smile and be friendly and keep his requests simple - but there\'s rarely time for idle chit-chat with the girls in the office.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That\'s best left to the younger teacher, who can pull up a chair in the reception and chinwag with the female staff about boyfriend troubles and Lady Ga Ga until the cows come home. Or at least until the bell goes for the next lesson.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - It\'s a barnstorming finish from the younger teachers as they pull it back to 5-4 with one final round to go.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Connecting with the students</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Picture the scene. You walk into the classroom to face a group of 40 rowdy teenage students all shouting to be heard and all eager to tell you about their weekend (well, maybe a couple of them)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What are you going to talk about? The latest version of Grand Theft Auto? Uploading multiple photographs to Facebook? Or are you going to tell them about your collection of Pink Floyd albums and the tablets you have to take four times a day for heartburn?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In general, young students like and identify better with young teachers. And it pains me to say that. They respect older teachers, sure they do, but let\'s face facts - if you\'re an older teacher, they\'re not going to get out a magazine picture of a Korean boy band and ask you to point at which one you think has the best hair.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Result - The final round goes to the young upstarts and ladies and gentlemen - we have a tie!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><strong>Young teachers 5 older teachers 5</strong>.</strong> Hold on - I think I just got a message on my pager. Oh these damn buttons are so fiddly.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/tossed-on-the-tefl-scrapheap\">Tossed on the TEFL scrapheap - Is teaching in Thailand a young man\'s game?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/olderteacher.jpg','2018-04-30 20:12:00',1,'2015-02-10 20:12:00','2018-08-27 15:34:50'),(8423,52,'March 2012','march-2012','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s main TEFL courses','In this month\'s TEFL course news blog, there\'s an opportunity to take your course in Pattaya.

Who do you think owns this center? Is it a Thai? an American? a British person perhaps?</p>\n<p>Well, the owners are Edison Apostol and Lota Apostol from the Philippines. They are foreign English teachers&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Chulalongkorn University English Teachers Project. They have been in Thailand for eight years now. Edison was a Chemistry graduate. He became a teacher after&nbsp;seeing someone else teach in the Philippines at The&nbsp;Manila Sanitarium and Hospital. He earned 21 units in education and got his teaching license shortly&nbsp;afterwards. Lota was a Bachelor of Science graduate&nbsp;in education with a&nbsp;major in English.</p>\n<p>They have been running the center for half a decade now. When asked how they started the center, they said that it was Lota\'s dream ever&nbsp;since they were married in the Philippines 15 years ago. She didn\'t know that this dream would one day&nbsp;be realized here in Thailand. If you happen to pass by Tiwanon Road Soi 34 in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, the center can be found there.</p>\n<p>\n<p>When the center was first established, communicating with students&nbsp;was the major problem. In fact,&nbsp;Edison and Lota&nbsp;had to resort to sign and body language to make the students&nbsp;understand. Providing facilities for the center was fotunately not&nbsp;a burden though. Fans, tables, books and various other neccesities&nbsp;were kindly&nbsp;donated by the parents. Storytelling, especially Bible stories, and question and answer sessions are just a few of the strategies they use at the cente. So far with these strategies, students have become confident in speaking. In fact many students in the center have served as translators&nbsp;fo their parents.</p>\n<p>Getting students to come to the center is easy&nbsp;because it is near a public high school and students passing by get to&nbsp;know that&nbsp;the center exists. Once a student enrolls, he/ she usually&nbsp;brings along a classmate or a curious&nbsp;friend. An average of 25 students come every weekend to learn English. The biggest number of students&nbsp;has been&nbsp;40. The students are&nbsp;aged&nbsp;five and above and they&nbsp;are the&nbsp;children of drivers, office workers, businessmen, and even&nbsp;a retired general. Sustaining the&nbsp;students\' interest in learning&nbsp;at the center&nbsp;is not difficult&nbsp;because students have self- motivation. However, the center gives free T-shirts, free bags and other goodies as rewards for learning. Edison, Lota, and two other&nbsp;volunteers are the main&nbsp;teachers at present.</p>\n<p>The couple\'s earnings from&nbsp;their daytime job in&nbsp;Nonthaburi government schools are more than enough to make ends meet and to&nbsp;support their son\'s high school studies. They live a contented life&nbsp;most likely&nbsp;because&nbsp;they reap the rewards of&nbsp;offering their expertise for free.</p>\n<p>Running the center gives them the&nbsp;fulfillment of being able to do good, to help others, to give blessings to people, to make life worth living, and to&nbsp;make a difference in this world. Some of their former students have eventually&nbsp;gone on to study&nbsp;abroad and become&nbsp;top in their English classes. One former student, now at Silpakorn University in Phetchaburi, is number&nbsp;one in her class. Many of their students get&nbsp;good grades&nbsp;in English and have acquired confidence to speak. As one friend said - the students in this center are immersed in a learning atmosphere where students interact in a natural and a non-threatening environment.</p>\n<p>Several parents sincerely&nbsp;hope that the center will not close so that it can continue teaching English this way. Students feel the same way - and&nbsp;that\'s why they never get tired of&nbsp;coming to the center.</p>\n<p>Edison and Lota ahave often been overwhelmed by Thai generosity. Their landlord permits the center to operate in his apartment and extends help by allowing the use of the vacant lot nearby for the center\'s activities. The parents of the students are very supportive of their children too. They give great importance to the learning of a second language. This is beneficial for&nbsp; theThai students now that the country is preparing for the 2015 ASEAN Community. As a gesture of appreciation, the parents&nbsp; often treat the teachers by taking them on day trips or inviting them to special family functions and parties..</p>\n<p>On February 12, which was Edison\'s birthday, another English center was opened in Pathumthani. This came&nbsp;is in response to requests from students who became familiar or aware of the original center.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So if we want to experience a more rewarding life - just&nbsp;like&nbsp;the two philanthropists in this story, we too can follow in&nbsp;their footsteps. Giving without counting the cost is indeed the noblest work we can do for the children of our friends in&nbsp;a country that has become our second home.</p>\n</p>','','2012-03-02 05:11:18',1,'2012-03-02 05:11:18','2012-03-02 19:07:20'),(8572,10,'The city is theirs!','the-city-is-theirs','Thailand - the home of all things that bite, sting, crawl, creep or scurry.','There are many dangers awaiting the new arrival in Thailand, but never underestimate what might be under the roof or under the floorboards.','<p>It\'s midnight and I\'m typing out this blog while lying in bed. That isn\'t something I would normally do but tonight at least, sleep hasn\'t come easy. And the reason for that is I\'m listening to noises - the sounds of scurrying and foraging that seem to be coming from directly above the ceiling. Yes, we\'ve got rats! I\'m not interested in exactly how many, but a bunch of furry rodents have obviously decided to share our living accommodation and skip paying rent.\n<p>I\'m trying to work out exactly what the buggers are doing up there, but one thing is for certain - they\'re making a proper job of it. Perhaps they\'re constructing some sort of &lsquo;rat city\' - and the scrapings I can hear are &lsquo;rat-sized\' bags of cement being dragged across the eaves. I bet there\'s even a rat standing in the corner with a pencil behind its ear.</p>\n<p>When you come to live in Thailand, you sign an agreement to share your life with all manner of creepy crawlies and things that go bump in the night or could carry off a small child. There is no opt-out clause. I, the undersigned, agree to have insects bite me, sting me, fly up my nose, imbed themselves in my eardrums and generally make my life a misery. I will do a minimal amount of complaining for a) they are all God\'s creatures and b) they were here first.</p>\n<p>My first experience of Thailand\'s venomous insect army came shortly after I arrived in the country. Under the shade of a willow tree in Lumpini Park, I lay down on the grass for an afternoon nap. I have no idea how long I was asleep but when I eventually got up to leave and go home, my right eye had started to itch like crazy. I had obviously been bitten by something disagreeable but not sure what exactly.</p>\n<p>I looked in a mirror and could clearly see a smallish red bump just below the eye. I decided to ignore it and retire for the evening. Those famous last words of \"don\'t worry, it\'ll be gone tomorrow\' ringing in my ears. In the morning, I glanced at my reflection in the same bathroom mirror and staring back at me was a cross between Andrew Lloyd Webber and The Elephant Man. I knew that I had to get to a hospital - and fast. Fortunately I had a pair of sunglasses that were large enough to cover my embarrassment. It was either wear sunglasses or shuffle down the soi with a blanket over my head. Those were the only two options.</p>\n<p>\"You\'ve been bitten by a red ant\" said the kindly and knowledgeable doctor. \"You didn\'t keep it by any chance?\" he added. This struck me as a rather strange request. No, I hadn\'t kept it and there was no way I was going back to the park to look. I had far better things to do. The doctor gave me some cream and pills and told me I would look human again in less than 48 hours. He was right, Two days later, I could walk the streets without small kids pulling on their mothers\' sleeves and cars u-turning and doubling back for a better look. Thankfully my career as a circus sideshow attraction had been thwarted before it had even begun.</p>\n<p>When I\'m not behind a computer these days, you\'ll very often find me in the garden. I come from a family of &lsquo;green-fingered gardeners\' and while I\'m certainly not in my late grandfather\'s league - he won many a &lsquo;best kept garden\' award - I enjoy pottering around and keeping a sizeable garden tidy and looking nice - to the best of my ability I suppose. But sometimes after an energy-sapping session of sweeping up leaves and re-soiling plants under the hot tropical sun, I will stand there in the middle of the garden, hands on hips, and wonder why the f*ck I bother. I mean, it\'s not as though you can ever actually enjoy sitting outside.</p>\n<p>This of course is one of the joys of having a nice garden in England. Yes. I know there are only four days a year when the UK weather is conducive to sitting outside with a light ale or inviting friends round for a barbecue, but it\'s four days more than I get. On those rare occasions I do get the urge to unfold my sun lounger and spend an hour in my Thai garden with a good book, it\'s an invitation for every flying, biting insect for miles around to cancel their plans for the day and come and join me.</p>\n<p>Perhaps I should take a leaf out of my wife\'s book - I don\'t think she even knows we\'ve got a garden.</p>\n<p>Last week, while sweeping up leaves at the back of the house, I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my right arm. Do you remember as a kid when you fell on a &lsquo;stinger\' and your mom would frantically search for a doc leaf to rub your injured leg with? Well, that\'s what the pain was like - only worse.</p>\n<p>I ran into the house, rummaged around in the first aid box but as usual, found nothing apart from a packet of pills three years past their expiry date, a sachet of powdered drink for chronic diarrhea (which I never get anyway) and a couple of sticky plasters. So there I was standing in front of the refrigerator rubbing my stinging arm with ice cubes - anything to make the pain go away. Man, did it hurt. Had I just had an &lsquo;on dry land\' encounter with the Australian box jellyfish? It certainly felt like it.</p>\n<p>Eventually the pain subsided and I went to seek out my mother-in-law (a retired nursing sister) to explain what had happened and possibly get some sympathy. She returned with me to the tree that I had obviously brushed against while doing my gardening chores. She carefully lifted up several leaves and pointed at a small green furry caterpillar hiding under each one. \"In Thai, we call them &lsquo;bung\" she said. \"You must not touch them because they can be very poisonous\"</p>\n<p>Very astute is my mother-in-law when it comes to statements of the bleedin\' obvious.</p>\n<p>These &lsquo;bung\' creatures aren\'t the only terror lurking in the garden. Not by a long sight. Several times a year we get invaded by fire ants. These large red bodied creatures take over the garden and turn the simplest gardening task into a nightmare. They are everywhere! Even watering the garden with a hosepipe - a simple gardening duty that\'s there to be enjoyed and to be cherished - suddenly becomes man\'s biggest challenge.</p>\n<p>Stand in the same spot for more than ten seconds and the fire ants will get you. And oh boy, does your average bite from a fire ant pack one hell of a punch. So you have no choice but to perfect the art of hopping around on one foot whilst all the time trying to direct the hosepipe onto the plants and flowers which need watering. To the casual onlooker, it comes across as a combination of gardening and Riverdance.</p>\n<p>And insects are smart. If they can\'t inflict physical pain, then they will go for your property. You won\'t be surprised to learn that I have plenty of experience in this department as well.</p>\n<p>Years ago I rented a three-bedroom house in Ramkhamhaeng. I only needed two rooms to serve as a bedroom and a study, so the third upstairs room became of those &lsquo;junk storage affairs\'. In one corner, I kept a huge pile of magazines, which I used to buy second-hand from the weekend market. One day, in a rare mood to give the house a top-to-bottom spring clean, I made the fatal mistake of moving the magazines. The bottom half of the pile had literally been eaten away by small white wriggly maggots - along with half the plasterboard wall. Yes, on all those nights I had been sleeping peacefully in my bed and thinking all was well with the world, maggots had been literally eating me out of house and home.</p>\n<p>But back to the rats in the roof-space. I\'ve just been on a pest control website and the first thing I saw was a photograph of a man in a safety suit and goggles, removing a ceiling tile, and several rats dropping down into the bedroom from above - probably dropping down onto the bed if truth be known. So after weighing up the options, I\'ve decided to leave things as they are. Besides - I haven\'t got any goggles.</p>\n</p>','','2012-03-15 19:59:14',1,'2012-03-15 19:59:14','2012-03-16 10:10:15'),(8607,53,'Poverty reduction in Asia','poverty-reduction-in-asia','How poor countries benefit from foreign investment','Working in China (but maintaining a residence in Thailand) I could write volumes about what I think is “wrong” in China, but I also know that the country has implemented the biggest and fastest poverty reduction program the world has ever seen, and it has been done by going against the advice of most western economic experts and without foreign aid.','<p>A few weeks back, there was a lot of buzz over a story that first appeared on National Public Radio (NPR) in the USA about the horrific working conditions at a Foxconn factory in China where Apple\'s products are assembled. Now, NPR has retracted the story and it came to light the writer/presenter/researcher of the piece, Mike Daisey, falsified much of the story.\n<p>A reporter falsifying data and fabricating information to create something sensation is nothing noteworthy, but the ease in which the editors and the public fell for a story that with a pinch of common sense and taking a second to analysis was obviously false is worth examining. Why were so many people gullible and easily took in?</p>\n<p>This is not some back street factory where a dozen or two migrants are kept in virtual slavery. Foxconn is a huge company that employs hundreds of thousands of employees who all willingly chose to work there. Both becoming a consumer of a company\'s products and an employee of a company are voluntary activities and companies must compete for both customers and employees. Customers buy a company\'s product because they have decided buying the company\'s product is the best option for the use of their money. Employees decide to work for a company because it is felt that is the best option for the use of the employees\' time. Workers in China are no different than ESL teachers in Thailand, one only stays at or has chosen the job one has because it is or was the best option available. Like with ESL teachers there is no slavery in modern China, only voluntary employment contracts. Common sense indicates there is no possible way hundreds of thousands of people would willingly choose to work for an exploitative employer which provided worse working conditions and wages than available elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Working in China (but maintaining a residence in Thailand) I could write volumes about what I think is \"wrong\" in China, but I also know that the country has implemented the biggest and fastest poverty reduction program the world has ever seen, and it has been done by going against the advice of most western economic experts and without foreign aid, although it has been helped by western and other foreign investment which has given the people of China far more opportunities as both employees and entrepreneurs.</p>\n<p>I am currently finishing up a book which should be out later in the year about the private sectors\' role in poverty reduction in Asia and basically all the empirical evidence (although not all the passionate opinion) shows poor countries that open themselves up to international trade do much better than those that don\'t, and in fact there has never been a single case where driving away foreign investment and more jobs has resulted in economic growth and significant poverty reduction. Poor countries are normally ignored by international businesses, not exploited by them. Yet despite the obvious problems with the story, some people bought into it as it fit into their hoped for conclusions of big and evil American companies exploiting the poor of the world.</p>\n<p>There might also have been more than a little of what I have called the \"colonial paradigm\" in this easy acceptance of the helplessness of the poor Asians who needed the westerns to take up the \"white man\'s burden\" and decide under what working conditions workers in Asia should accept. Petitions and threats to boycott Apple products were instituted to help those poor exploited Asians who were helpless to make their own choices on how to live their lives. Was there an underlying assumption of the all powerful western company exploiting the ignorant and helpless locals who need other powerful westerners to fight the battle for them?</p>\n<p>But one might ask, what does this have to do with the lives of teachers. This case is a reminder to use our own critical thinking skills before passing on information as \"fact.\" The \"reporter\" in this story obviously let his political viewpoints and personal biases interfere with his job, we should be careful of not following the same path. Just because we have a captive audience in our classrooms it does not give us the right to pull out our soapboxes and tell out students \"facts\" we wish or hope were true.</p>\n<p>Was it fair for wealthy educated suburbanites in the USA or Europe with multiple career options to dictate what choices poor and poorly educated girls from rural villages in China should make in their lives? Is it fair for us as foreign teachers to tell our students, who come from very different cultures and backgrounds from ourselves, how they should live their lives?</p>\n<p>Some of us foreign teachers might teach wealthy children in private schools, others of us might teach underprivileged kids in a rural government school. Some might be working at top flight universities with the best and brightest, other of us might be working in second or third level universities with the underachievers. Some of us are teaching English, others of us might be teaching a variety of academic subjects. What we can all do is try out best to help increase the knowledge and therefore the future options for as many of our students as possible but respect the choices our students make and not expect them to make the exact same decisions we would.</p>\n<p>My upcoming book</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=2765&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia</a></p>\n<p>Some of my previous work can be found below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415533553/\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An evolutionary perspective</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking free from the colonial paradigm<br /></a></p>\n</p>','','2012-03-18 21:01:54',1,'2012-03-18 21:01:54','2012-03-19 11:11:55'),(8814,52,'April 2012','april-2012','All the latest news from Thailand\'s TEFL courses','Need to take a TEFL course to find a teaching job in Thailand?

Bhea, his daughter, had achieved far beyond her years. At the age of only 12, she earned awards like: \"Artist of the New Millennium\" from the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) a US-based organization, Grand Prize Winner \"Art for Peace\", a world competition sponsored by Museo das Creancas Portugal, that gave her a free trip to Lisbon for a week; \"First Prize Winner in Dress a Barbie Contest\" with a trip to Japan Disneyland as the prize. They are amazing achievements indeed for a young girl, right?</p>\n<p>I myself wondered how the father developed his daughter\'s potentials. According to Bhea\'s father, when the daughter was just two years old, he provided her with art materials like pencils, pens, crayons and coloring books to pique her interest in art. Then he enrolled her in art classes, let her join art competitions, made her participate in group exhibits and supported her to have a solo exhibition at Ayala Museum, the Philippines\' center for showcasing works of distinguished artists of the country.</p>\n<p>When his daughter was five, a daily paper in Manila held a nationwide coloring contest for children.

After a week, they received the good news that their daughter was adjudged a regional winner in the age 5-6 category.</p>\n<p>This gave the father the realization that his daughter had a talent. Consequently, he enrolled her in art classes to learn the basic tenets of drawing and coloring from three different art teachers, including a world-class art teacher whose students were regular winners in international competitions.</p>\n<p>From that time onwards, Bhea won several district, regional, national, and international art competitions. Having been overwhelmed by the young and talented girl\'s achievements, one school principal hired her to teach art in her school. A number of art patrons also commissioned her to paint big canvasses to beautify their homes.</p>\n<p>What was unusual with this talented artist, the father noted, unlike other kids, she would only draw during her lesson in art, before the contest, and during the contest proper. What was amazing too was that during competitions, she was so quick to compose her art pieces given a certain theme and she would get the grand prizes or major awards.</p>\n<p>The father estimated his daughter\'s earnings from age 5 to age 12 to be nearly $3,000. Other than art, the talented child graduated from grade school with honors. She played the organ, sang, danced, and was keen on poem recitation, storytelling, news-casting, and table tennis.</p>\n<p>In high school she was the captain of her volleyball team, but still found time to win art competitions. During graduation she was presented with the \"Best in Art Award\".</p>\n<p>In college she was the recipient of the 1st JV De Venecia art scholarship in her Fine Arts course. Truly, the development of talents doesn\'t happen overnight. In fact, our talented girl spent nearly seven years of training.</p>\n<p>Ms. Lea Salonga, the Philippines\' No. 1 international singing star started earlier than seven. Ms. Liza Macuja-Elizalde, Prima Ballerina of the Philippines started at age eight. The legendary boxer of the Philippines and holder of the most number of boxing titles in the history of boxing, Manny Pacquiao, started boxing at age eight.</p>\n<p>So what are you waiting for Moms and Dads? Awaken that sleeping talent in your child. Expose your kids to all areas of interest and let them specialize in areas they do well. Then give your full support until the child is ready to show the world what they have got.</p>\n<p>By the way, don\'t be skeptical about the story above. You have my assurance that this is all true.</p>\n<p>I am the father of Bhea.</p>','','2012-04-02 05:40:23',1,'2012-04-02 05:40:23','2012-04-02 19:07:24'),(9055,63,'This is an English-speaking only zone','this-is-an-english-speaking-only-zone','Reflections from teaching in an English-only international school','Six weeks ago I started a new teaching job in Myanmar at an international school. The job and the school have surpassed my expectations and one of the most impressive things is that I can use complete sentences in the classroom and give directions in English and the students not only understand, but they respond with great English.','<p>Teaching English is all about speaking English, right? Well, sometimes I forget that when I am in the classroom and speaking in broken, grammatically incorrect English in an attempt to help my students understand even a word of what I am saying. Or when my assistant immediately translates everything I have said, completely negating the students\' need to understand English. The last six weeks have been different.</p>\n<p>Six weeks ago I started a new teaching job in Myanmar at an international school. The job and the school have surpassed my expectations and one of the most impressive things is that I can use complete sentences in the classroom and give directions in English and the students not only understand, but they respond with great English. This has been a breath of fresh air. I think every teacher reaches a point where they get a little frustrated that their directions are not being understood; I know I have, especially when having to resort to baby talk because its the only way your students will understand directions. Teaching in an international school where English is the language, not just a subject, is a totally different experience.</p>\n<p>Once again I am teaching Kindergarten, but this time I can talk to my students like an adult and I can use full sentences and explain directions in English and trust they understand. Never before have I spoken to Kindergarten students like this. Typically, I would have to say things like \"bye bye crayon\" instead of \"please put your crayon away\" and never before have my students told me what they did over the weekend. One of the real treats has been watching my students talk to each other in English. It is amazing to me that they understand the concept that they are only allowed to speak English at school and they not only follow that rule, but they are able to have the same conversations in English they would in their mother-tongue.</p>\n<p>The reason I bring this difference to attention is because I think it illustrates a very important part of language learning that is often neglected in schools: complete and total immersion in the language. From my experience as an ESL teacher in two other countries, I have noticed that even in the English classroom, the native language is still being spoken, sometimes more or equal to the amount of English. While I understand the benefit of translation, I think a lot more can be spoken exclusively in English, especially when coupled with hand gestures and demonstrations.</p>\n<p>I think our students understand a lot more than we give them credit for, and providing translations for every direction takes away from their creative and critical thinking. My Kindergarten students don\'t speak English fluently, but because they have been challenged by an exclusively English classroom, they are able to critical think about what I am saying and either form an understanding or ask questions that help them understand.</p>\n<p>ESL is one of the fastest growing sectors and English language-learners are one of the largest demographics. Hopefully, they will learn to speak English correctly and fluently, but this can\'t be achieved if schools don\'t start investing in programs that challenge their students to speak and understand English in the classroom. As for me, I think I\'m going to forever be the evil teacher who makes the rule that only English can be spoken in the classroom...and hope that my students appreciate that someday in the future.</p>\n<p>If you enjoy my ajarn blogs, then feel free to <a href=\"mailto:Jessicawatson14@gmail.com\">e-mail me</a>.

What the complainers don\'t realize is that these exclusions are in all health insurance policies.','<p></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When you purchase <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>health insurance in Thailand</span></a> your satisfaction with the product can be affected by number of sources, not just the insurance company. Although, the insurance company is the one who normally gets the blame.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>There are actually 5 entities that can have an effect on your satisfaction with your insurance:</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">1. The Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) - (Formerly the Department of Insurance.) This is the governmental organization that oversees the insurance companies and protects the insurance buyers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>2. The&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Insurance Company</a><span>&nbsp;you are insured with.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">3. The Agent/Broker you buy your health coverage through.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>4. The Hospital you seek treatment from.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5. You, the insured.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>I often read complaints about the standard exclusions found in the Terms and Conditions (T&amp;C) of a particular insurance company\'s policy. What the complainers don\'t realize is that these exclusions are in all health insurance policies and are mandated by the Thai government\'s Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) to help protect the insurers and to help hold the cost of health insurance down for insurance buyers. The OIC\'s job is also to protect and assist insureds when needed. An example of that protection follows:</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of our clients was traveling overseas when cysts in his mouth started becoming painful. He sought treatment to have them removed. When he returned to Thailand he filed a claim for reimbursement. Unfortunately, the doctor who had treated him identified the problem in a way that related it to teeth and gums. Since dental treatment is excluded, his claim was rejected.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>To make matters worse, he needed to have more cysts removed after he returned to Thailand. I suggested that he contact the OIC. He and the insurance company then met together with the OIC. He brought in support from his treating physician, a specialist at a 1st class hospital in Bangkok.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The insurance company came loaded with support for their position from various authorities around the world. Both sides showed that they were correct to some extent. The OIC then decided that because of this doubt, the insurance company would have to shell out and pay the insured\'s claim.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The insurance company that you are insured with, no matter which one it is, has had a lot of experience with people who are trying to take advantage of them by purchasing insurance to cover treatment of medical problems they already have. The people processing your application, or your claim, are hired to find and weed-out these people. Their job is to help save the insurance company money from costly invalid claims.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of the most blatant attempts I\'ve encountered of someone seeking treatment for a pre-existing condition was the time I received a health application on a Friday and then received a call from the applicant the very next day wanting to know his policy number. He was in the hospital for an operation. He had actually scheduled the operation before he had submitted the application. This guy wasn\'t really devious, he was just stupid</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The agent/broker you buy your health coverage through. What? You don\'t purchase your health insurance through an independent third party? That is not very smart. It doesn\'t cost any more to deal through them and they are in a better position to assist you when you need help.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, you need to be careful when selecting an <a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>insurance broker</span></a> or agent. Even when you purchase through a broker, though, you can still pay your premiums directly to the insurance company, if you want. And, if you are unhappy with what the agent/broker tells you can still double check with the insurance company, or even switch over to another broker. Be careful, but don\'t be stupid.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The hospital you seek treatment from can sometimes to be the cause of your problems with the insurance company. Hospitals and insurance companies don\'t like each other. This is because hospitals sometimes want to charge for \"unnecessary treatment\" or bill for the use of costly new testing equipment. Insurance companies refuse to pay more than they feel is necessary. This upsets the hospitals.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes delays in getting released from the hospital are blamed on the insurance company. Every time we have checked on the reason for the delay, at the request of a client, it turned out to have been caused by the hospital\'s filling out of the paperwork for the insurance company. That\'s reasonable. But, the insurance company\'s part actually only takes about 10 minutes once they receive the paperwork by fax (It\'s called a fax claim).</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>You, the insured should read the terms and conditions of your policy. If there is something that you don\'t understand, or disagree with, check with your broker. Disagreements with the insurance company should be discussed with your broker.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your broker doesn\'t help you, check with the insurance company. If you disagree with their handling of a claim, contact the OIC. If you are in the right, the OIC will help you.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For more information on medical insurance plans in Thailand, please feel free to reach out to&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Pacific Prime Thailand Insurance Brokers</a><span>, or email Walter directly at&nbsp;</span><a href=\"mailto:walter@pacificprime.com\">walter@pacificprime.com</a><span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p></p>','','2018-09-01 01:37:00',1,'2016-07-16 01:37:14','2018-09-27 21:16:47'),(9186,52,'May 2012','may-2012','All the latest discounts and promotions on Thailand TEFL courses','Thailand is a terrific place to take a TEFL course.

The reason was to prepare Thailand for the big event of Southeast Asian nations taking place in 2015, the ASEAN Community.</p>\n<p>While reading the news, I was thinking that it would be impossible for my students to speak English in my school. It was like making a cat bark. You see, even if my 102 students had taken English lessons for years with foreign teachers, they still wouldn\'t be able to speak English. Some of them can understand a little English but usually when spoken to, they always answer in Thai.</p>\n<p>I heard from a number of Filipino instructors in Thai universities that they had something called &lsquo;English Speaking Day\'. They said that students had not as yet made any significant progress but the instructors were optimistic that the ESD idea would work if implemented for a longer period of time and Thai students would surely improve.</p>\n<p>To do my bit and to please my director at the same time, I organized some language activities for my students. I knew this would be a mammoth task but I thought of meaningful activities to encourage my students to speak English.</p>\n<p>In fact last term, because of the daily language activities, my students became more eager to participate in class and more interested to learn. They often looked forward to having their turn to do the activity. They also felt bad if their activity was put off for some reason.</p>\n<p>Anyway, these were my activities last term:</p>\n<p><strong>Greet Me</strong> - Every Monday after lunch, I stationed myself at the English speaking zones of the school - in front of the library and in front of the English room. Students, who greeted me over a period of time with five different greetings such as hello, how are you, etc., received a sticker which they then stuck on their booklets. On the second week this was increased to seven greetings, and then to ten the following week. Every student who completed his/her booklet got a prize.</p>\n<p><strong>Word Wizard</strong> - This activity was done for more than a week. The assigned students would stand in front of all the other students during flag ceremony and take turns in giving as many words as they could in 20 seconds. The student who gave the most number of words in the time allocated got a prize.</p>\n<p><strong>Greeting / Asking Wizard</strong> - Similar to the above activity, every student at a certain level would stand in front of the other students. At a given signal, one student would say as many greetings as he/she could in 20 seconds. The student who gave the most number of greetings and questions got a prize.</p>\n<p><strong>Spelling Bee</strong> - This was done for grades 1-6. A student picked a word from a box. The teacher read it and the student spelled it. If the word was spelled correctly, he/she would remain in the game. The last student standing got the prize.</p>\n<p><strong>Answer Me</strong> - This was my most challenging and meaningful activity and one which assessed the students\' ability to speak English. Students at a certain level would stand out the front. A student then picked a question in a box. (questions from all the lessons learned) If he/she could answer it, he/she remained in the game. Again, the last student left standing would be the eventual winner.</p>\n<p>I talked to several teachers from other government schools and asked them what they were doing by way of student activities. They had dialogues, drama, and role plays - some presented during flag ceremonies and some presented at lunch-times. Other teachers had the idea of a &lsquo;word for the day\' or a sentence for the day. One teacher never answered his students in class if they spoke to him in Thai.</p>\n<p>Next term, I will still continue my activities but I\'ll make them a little bit more challenging. I plan to do Sing to Me, Speak to Me, Look for Me, Tell Me a Story, Recite for Me, Tell Me the News, and Ask Me.

I am a woman and like most I have been planning my wedding in my head since I was but a wee young girl. Yet, when it came down to organizing, financing and entertaining all our loved ones in the same place on the other side of the world, it was a bit of a nightmare. I know some brides have the gumption for this great task, but it turns out I am not one of them. It was stressing me out before we even set a date and I could see it turning into something much bigger than I wanted for my special day.</p>\n<p>For almost two years, we have been traveling and getting away with tourist visas for my non-teacher partner but Thailand and its strict visa policies finally got the better of us.&nbsp;My partner realized that he&nbsp;wouldn\'t be able to leave&nbsp;Thailand for another tourist visa and for sure be able to get back into the country. About&nbsp;three weeks ago, we realized that this dilemma could&nbsp;haunt us for the rest of our lives or rather as long as we are travelling and living together&nbsp;in foreign lands.&nbsp;We had to make a plan -&nbsp;a long term one that could ensure we could continue to live this vagabond lifestyle we have chosen.</p>\n<p>So last Thursday we got hitched. In a span of&nbsp;three days, we rushed to figure out what we would need to get legally married, since we are planning on get married anyway, right? We will just do the legal paperwork and call it a visa! I took a personal day from school and after a visit to the US embassy, a translator, and the immigration office at&nbsp;Cheang Wattana (three times) we took our Thai friends with us down the street from our apartment to the local Amphur office in Bang Kruai.</p>\n<p>We were the first \'farang&nbsp;to farang\' marriage they had ever&nbsp;seen and it took a few tries to correctly translate our names into Thai. Our great Thai-speaking neighbors helped translate the whole process.&nbsp;We had to be approved by the main official and were asked questions about why we wanted to get married in Thailand. After he wished us a long and happy marriage filled with children, we were given our marriage license, completely in Thai and apparently legitimate according to the officials at the visa office. We drank expensive champagne (ok, sparkling wine) that night and I went to school the next morning.</p>\n<p>The next day we went back to Cheang Wattana and applied for my groom\'s dependant non-O visa. All went smoothly and we will go back in a couple weeks to get his golden ticket to stay in the country. It was an easy decision really.&nbsp;It is the best way around all the crazy rules and loopholes here and was a fun experience that we will always remember (we wore matching t-shirts and of course there were lots of pictures taken.) We also spent the long holiday weekend in Kanchanaburi for a romantic \"honeymoon\" (I guess I\'ll have two!) along the river at a beautiful resort (a nice treat for us budget travelers.)</p>\n<p>I am now planning an intimate ceremony in August, somewhere in Thailand (if you have any suggestions, please let me know!) because I just can\'t NOT have a wedding (mostly I just want to wear&nbsp;a beautiful dress) I want to have an actual wedding that&nbsp;I can have pictures of, in my own way, and that means no drama and relaxing in the pool on&nbsp;the day of the event.</p>\n<p>Some people have&nbsp;considered us crazy, others congratulated us and asked when the baby was due. In reality, I am just a young, wanderlust crazy fool in love, living my life exactly the way I want it - even if I never envisioned myself eloping at 25. My story is actually turning out better than I could have ever imagined.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to read more about my life and my adventures, then please <a href=\"http://www.onedayillflyaway.com/\">take a look at my personal blog site</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2012-05-11 03:58:29',1,'2012-05-11 03:58:29','2012-05-11 18:06:30'),(9245,66,'Arai Na?','arai-na','English in Thai vocational schools','I came here 1.5 years ago and it was all planned as a 10-month experience. I had a high paid marketing job back home in Europe and everybody told me that it was crazy to leave my career and become a ‘teacher\' here in Thailand.','<p>My first post for ajarn.com and it is already a review. Yeah, I\'m not new to the teaching community in Thailand but new to ajarn.com. So I hope you guys can take away something from my experiences and let me know what you think about it.\n<p>I came here 1.5 years ago and it was all&nbsp;planned as a 10-month experience. I had a high paid marketing job back home in Europe and everybody told me that it was&nbsp;crazy to leave my career and become a &lsquo;teacher\' here in Thailand. Like so many times before, I didn\'t care about what others said and just did it. After sending my resume to the Vocational Education Commission in Bangkok they replied after 4 or 5 weeks (which I now consider as pretty fast in Thailand) and told me that I should go to Udon Thani to work for the vocational college. Not knowing what a vocational college in Thailand looks like or what living in Udon Thani would mean I said &lsquo;yes\'. Focus in this post is, of course, the teaching experience.</p>\n<p>When I arrived I was quite surprised by the way things were handled over here. They gave me my teaching schedule, told me what subjects I should teach and then said I\'m good to go. No test teaching or introduction. Nothing. &lsquo;Today you start in room 415. Good luck\'. There was no intro, co-teaching or whatever. Neither for the students nor for me. Nobody told them &lsquo;hey, there\'s a new farang teacher coming to your class\' (they could have guessed that by seeing my name on their timetable though) and nobody told me what to expect. After having spent 3 weeks in Thailand before my first day at work my Thai skills were limited to &lsquo;khop khun krub\' and &lsquo;sawadee krub\' with some numbers that could have been added so you can imagine that I was kinda nervous right before entering my first class.</p>\n<p><strong>But you had books and material, right?</strong></p>\n<p>Nope! Not a single one because &lsquo;We only have...well...like...Thai books...you have to do it on your own...\'.</p>\n<p>So there I was. Completely new in the teaching business, no books, no work sheets, no Thai language experience and pretty nervous. Great way to start the new &lsquo;career\'. Well as it turned out, it was.</p>\n<p>While it wasn\'t that easy of course, I left almost every class I held in the past 1.5 years with a smile and a good feeling. From the moment I realized that students indeed are curious and that they are, despite their laziness, willing to learn and willing to give you a chance to express yourself, I was certain that this was the right choice. Sounds incredibly corny, but suck it. I don\'t care. I loved it.</p>\n<p>However that doesn\'t mean that I was lucky with my students or that vocational students are the creme de la creme. That\'s actually far from being true. Vocational students are usually the students that get sent to vocational schools because their parents don\'t have the money for other schools or don\'t want to spend it on other schools since education isn\'t that important. Especially over here in the Isan area working in the noodle shop at home is considered by far more important than attending classes or doing homework (at least that\'s what I experienced).</p>\n<p><strong>So how did it went?</strong></p>\n<p>Well to say how I experienced my past three school terms I have to divide it into two parts. The classroom part and the organizational part. Let\'s start with the classroom part.</p>\n<p><strong>Classroom. Action. </strong></p>\n<p>Like&nbsp;I said,&nbsp;I did love teaching students from the very first moment even though it wasn\'t easy most of the time. Language differences forced me into some drastic and unusual teaching and acting methods and led to a decreasing fear of embarrassing myself since embarrassing myself was quite often the only way to go.</p>\n<p>First lessons usually were used to check the English and communication skills and to show that the new farang teacher (most of my students never had a foreign teacher before) isn\'t that bad after all and won\'t bite or shout or anything like that. Incredible how many students were afraid of talking with me in the beginning Usually there were two or three students in a class of 30 or 40 who spoke and understood English well and acted as translators in a case of emergency. New vocabulary and idioms however needed the before mentioned acting skills and led to a completely new teaching experience compared to everything I was used to and prepared for.</p>\n<p>Soon I realized that this whole &lsquo;being different\' thing was the way to go and there was no need trying to act like a thai teacher. Students appreciated the difference and showed up in increasing amounts (even though they get points for showing up in class, it\'s not usual that the classroom is packed). We did a lot of &lsquo;different\' (being different from boring vocational college teachers is quite easy though) assignments, used multi-media and social media and even shot English movies. All that to show that English can be fun and it\'s not a problem to make mistakes once in a while. Attendance in my classes grew steadily and shows that even the lazy vocational students can be motivated and pushed to new heights. Now, after 3 terms, I\'ll leave the college but that is definitely the part I will miss.</p>\n<p>Bottom line: Great experience, unforgettable moments, happy ending.</p>\n<p><strong>Organization? Say what? </strong></p>\n<p>Let\'s take a look&nbsp;at the other side of the coin. The work of a teacher when he\'s outside the classroom. Unlike some high paid private school foreign teachers (no hate here, just stating the difference) I had my office time (except the term where I taught 42 hours per week since there wasn\'t time for anything else) and was always there for everything that needed to be done.</p>\n<p>What needed to be done: Nothing. While the college told me during contract signing that they are planning to hold English camps and introduce extra English classes for talented students and further things like that nothing ever happened that even went slightly into this direction. I came up with a lot of plans and concepts that only would have needed the &lsquo;go\' of the college but in the end saving money was always more important than helping students.</p>\n<p>As time went by I more and more got the feeling that I was only there to be shown off when farang parents visited the school or when contests of some kind took place. My chinese colleague felt the same way so it wasn\'t just me.</p>\n<p>Furthermore the communication within the vocational college was just a pain in the ass. I don\'t want to write about exact examples since this is nothing that needs to be discussed in public nor does it interest any of you. However I can state that the farang teacher was always the last one to get noticed about anything (IF I got noticed) and that promises like supporting me with visa stuff etc. have never been met.</p>\n<p>While this now sounds like &lsquo;yeah mate, you just picked the wrong school\' a friend of mine in another vocational school a few hundred kilometers away reported similar incidents. Maybe we both had bad luck with our schools but to me it simply looks like the majority of teachers and staff at vocational schools don\'t really care about their students or educational work at all. All they care about is that they have 2 days off (the main reason for many Thai teachers to become a teacher) and that they don\'t have to work to hard.</p>\n<p>Bottom line: Incredibly disappointed by the way the organization in vocational schools is handled. Wouldn\'t recommend it to anyone else.</p>\n</p>\n<p>To finish without whining though: I still don\'t regret the move here and I still love teaching and I\'m looking forward to my new challenge in the City Of Angels. Besides that I am, of course, glad to be part of the community here by now and am looking forward to some interesting discussions.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you like what you read or if you want to tell me that I have no idea what I\'m talking about, please feel free to head over to <a href=\"http://my-thai.org/\">my blog</a> or maybe you <a href=\"http://nomadteacher.org/\">fancy a chat about social media and education</a>.</p>','','2012-05-12 20:41:13',1,'2012-05-12 20:41:13','2012-05-13 10:10:14'),(9250,21,'Absolute pile of sh*te','absolute-pile-of-shte','Are the job ads really that bad?','A disgruntled ajarn.com reader wrote in to say that he had never seen such low quality job ads on the Thailand TEFL websites. Is he right in his assumption? And if so, what are the reasons? ','<p>I got the following letter from Marvin in Bangkok. It\'s obviously written with a certain degree of frustration at the current TEFL job situation in Thailand.\n<p><em>I have to say the majority of the jobs coming through right now are shite. Are these people serious? 20,000 baht a month for a native English speaker!!! What is going on with this country? All the good jobs seem to be going to those with education degrees and younger people with very little experience from what I have seen. I know some teachers with eight years experience struggling to get jobs. It seems to me that they should add what is really required in this country to their job descriptions - to be young, good looking and no experience required. As long as you look good, you\'ll go far. I honestly think Thailand is taking the wrong route and they are going to be losing a lot of good teachers in the future.</em></p>\n<p>Well. I\'m never one to shy away from chipping in my two cents and commenting on an interesting viewpoint. I\'m assuming first off that when Marvin says &lsquo;the majority of the TEFL jobs coming through right now are shite\" he\'s not just referring to the many jobs on ajarn.com, but on Thailand TEFL job sites in general.</p>\n<p>I started by having a quick look at the 302 job ads currently displayed on ajarn.com.</p>\n<p><strong>The part-time stuff</strong></p>\n<p>31 of those jobs (roughly 10%) were for part-time, hourly paid work ranging from 200 baht to 700 baht an hour. Let\'s get those out of the way first if we\'re going to do a proper analysis of the current job market / jobs on offer and find out truly if most of the jobs are indeed........ shite.</p>\n<p>Disturbingly, only 10 of those 31 part-time jobs pay 500 baht an hour or more. I tend to use 500 baht an hour as the yardstick because it\'s the absolute minimum amount of money I would be willing to get out of bed for - certainly if it\'s for something where say I\'m going to be doing three or four hours in one day at a private language school. If it\'s a case of evening corporate work, then even 500 baht an hour is nowhere near enough.&nbsp;Believe it or not, teachers were earning 500 baht an hour for teaching company staff way back in the mid-90s. I know - I was one of them.</p>\n<p>As for those schools still paying 200 baht an hour. Shame on you. What world are you living in? I know this is Thailand and all that but 200 baht an hour is the equivalent of four quid. That\'s nigh on 50% lower than the minimum hourly wage in the UK - a wage I would get for serving customers in an all-night petrol station or shoveling shit in the car-park behind Poundstretcher. But we\'re talking about professional teachers here right?</p>\n<p>The waters tend to get muddied a little if it\'s actually a full-time job quoted at an hourly rate rather than a monthly salary. But 300 baht an hour is still on the low side I feel. Even if you were doing 20 contact hours a week (80 contact hours a month) you would only end up with 24,000 baht a month. Not a great salary at all. Certainly not one you can build any kind of future around.</p>\n<p><strong>The full-time stuff</strong></p>\n<p>Of the remaining 270 &lsquo;full-time\' job ads on ajarn.com, where presumably every teacher gets paid a monthly salary, only 40 jobs (15% of the ads) paid above 40,000 baht a month. Again, for me at least, 40,000 baht is a significant figure because I consider it the minimum salary that you need to have to have something approaching a decent lifestyle - especially if you live in Bangkok. Anything under 40,000 baht a month - when you weigh up accommodation costs, laundry bills, utility bills, food costs, the odd weekend away (why shouldn\'t you be entitled to those?) and the odd flight back home to see the family - is purely survival money.</p>\n<p>I know there are plenty of teachers who will disagree with me. And many of those teachers working in the more rural areas of Thailand will say \"40,000 baht a month! You can live like a king up here on that kind of dough\"</p>\n<p>It\'s certainly a very contentious issue.</p>\n<p>But so many folks need a good reality check. Earning 30,000 baht a month, spending that 30,000 baht a month and &lsquo;living like a king\' is one thing, but does that money allow you to put something away for the future and your long term security? Or are you doing this teaching thing for a few years and then going back home and hoping that potential employers see a 25-year-old with a four year gap in his resume in a positive light? These are serious questions that any young teachers in Thailand have to ask themselves. And very few do.</p>\n<p>I\'ve gone off on a tangent but if we\'re seriously going to answer the burning question - are most of the jobs coming through shite? - then money and salary are always going to have the last word. No matter how much you love your students and no matter how well your school takes care of you - you can\'t survive on fresh air.</p>\n<p>I\'m still a big believer in the old adage - the best jobs are never advertised. This is why cold-calling schools and simply knocking on doors can be a great approach if you are willing to spend the time doing it and be prepared for a few knockbacks.</p>\n<p>Personally, I know of several teachers who one day found themselves walking past some impressive school gates, got the security guard to escort them to the admin office - and with a combination of smiles, wais and a nicely typed resume, &lsquo;sweet-talked\' themselves into a 50K teaching job. It can be done. Believe me.</p>\n<p><strong>Jobs at international schools</strong></p>\n<p>You\'ll never see the truly &lsquo;great\' teaching jobs on ajarn.com - or any Thailand TEFL job website for that matter. These are the jobs at the top international schools with their six-figure salaries and eye-watering benefit packages. Those positions, from what I\'m led to believe, are only filled via recruitment fairs abroad. And they only go to the most qualified applicants anyway.</p>\n<p>In several conversations I have had with various international school recruitment staff, selecting staff from the &lsquo;Thailand teacher pool\' is actually considered to be too risky. Many of these top international schools simply don\'t trust the motives of single gentlemen who have decided to make Thailand their home. Sexist? Harsh? You be the judge.</p>\n<p>What\'s crazy about this recruitment policy - as the recruiters have freely admitted to me - is that hiring directly from overseas invariably leads to a high teacher turnover. Many recruits are sucked in by the lure of teaching English in an exotic land, only to arrive and find the weather is too hot, the air is too polluted and the food is too spicy. This is not the Thailand they imagined as they flicked through the pages of a glossy brochure at a recruitment fair in New York or London.</p>\n<p>So, does a salary of 30K a month put that job firmly into the &lsquo;shite job\' category? There\'s no straightforward yes or no answer to that question. There are too many variables. Everyone has different objectives and different lifestyles. We\'ve all worked in teachers\' rooms where even though everyone earns the same salary, there are guys who seem to be forever partying and enjoying weekends away, while other guys are living on tinned tuna and cup noodles and constantly tapping up colleagues for &lsquo;500 baht until Friday\' as each month draws to a close. And let\'s not forget the semi-retired guys who aren\'t teaching for the money but see a few hours in a classroom each week as purely \'something to keep them busy\'. Yes, those guys <em>are</em> around.</p>\n<p>In my opinion,&nbsp;one of the worst things to hit the Thailand teaching profession over the past few years has been the introduction of the ten or eleven-month contract. This borders on pure evil. There was a time when contracts of less than a year were virtually unheard of and most, if not all teachers, enjoyed a couple of months paid holiday as part of their contract. But nowadays, a 35K a month job will sometimes only keep you going for 10 months. So that becomes a 350k a year job divided by twelve months in a year. Oh, my monthly salary just went down to 29,166 baht. Khob Khun Khap.</p>\n<p>Many schools get around the ten or eleven-month contract by promising the teacher summer courses and extra classes that will tide them over the fallow period. \"Maybe you will earn the equivalent of your monthly salary, perhaps you will earn even more\" is the familiar line. I don\'t know about you though, but I\'ve never felt comfortable building a life around promises and maybes - especially in a country like Thailand. Imagine being the kind of person who lives a month to month existence and then being told that summer courses are cancelled or reduced due to a lack of enrolment. Two holiday months with very little cash coming in. It doesn\'t bear thinking about.</p>\n<p>So back to Marvin and his original question again - \"the majority of teaching jobs coming through are shite\"</p>\n<p>Yes or no?

He was an Australia man, strong and handsome, not so old, but he spoke no Thai and never smiled. I would see him sometimes, with his wife, at the local noodle shop. She was from the tambon, the small town about fifteen minutes bicycle ride from my farm. They came to have lunch in a shiny new black pickup truck. She always smiled at me, wanting to talk because she knew that my husband was fahlang too, maybe we were like sisters.</p>\n<p>They bought a good piece of land on the edge of the town, about one rai, and soon they had a crop of long beans and pumpkins growing on part and the rest they cleared, put down mud, and put in stakes for a building that was too big for a house. Everyone said how lucky she was, to meet a man so rich, they said that land cost about two million, but I think exaggeration. The Australia man worked very hard with good skill on the land and this building. It was a long building with sixteen units, like a row of shops such as you could use for motorcycle repair or selling fertilizer and such things, or maybe a small beauty salon. These new buildings are not expensive and you see many of them now in our amphur. But when it was finished we saw families beginning to move into these units. I knew some of them, they were local people who had no land, the grandmothers spoke Cambodian language. So it was an investment the Australia man and his wife were making, for rental housing.</p>\n<p>I want to talk a little of a problem with some ladies here in Thailand. I think this problem is in the Thai blood. You can find it in Bangkok, Isaan, even in my own family in the south. High class, low class, education or not, you can find it, but you may not know about it, because they keep it secret, especially from fahlang. Not every lady of course, but many of them.</p>\n<p>Gambling is their secret. Usually they play cards, with other ladies, the game called pok deng is the most popular. Sometimes in one game they can win, maybe 30,000 baht, but of course the other times they can lose the same. These are not rich ladies. If they lose and don\'t have enough for school for their kids or meat and fish they must borrow from the local money lender, which is another story.</p>\n<p>Two months ago, you might remember we had a funny moon here in Thailand, we call it Rahoo om jan, which means \"Rahoo eats the moon.\" The English word is \"eclipse\". It was a nice night in the village, about ten o\'clock, and the neighbors came out to see this wonderful thing. A grandmother, 92 years, told some stories about how her husband, who was one of the old hill people who spoke a different language, used to shoot his gun at the Rahoo eating the moon, and we sat at a fire and gossiped about this and that. I said that I had not seen the man with the black pickup truck for a long time. The wife looked to be having a baby at that time when I saw her.</p>\n<p>\"Oh he went back to Australia\" said Auntie Pim, my neighbor.</p>\n<p>No one spoke for a little bit. From this I knew something funny happened. Then Auntie Pim went on.</p>\n<p>\"He lost everything\" she said. At first, the wife told every one she found out that her husband was very stingy. But everyone knew she was famous for gambling. He went often to work for weeks in Saudi and then she gambled all the time. Then she borrowed big money, with the title deed to the property.</p>\n<p>\"She was big belly eight months\" said Pee Tip, who had a little beauty salon down the road from this rental property. And when she won, she could not reach the money with her hand, so she did it with her foot.</p>\n<p>\"How can she do!\" said the grandmother. Bad karma to her for insulting the king!</p>\n<p>\"Yes\" continued Auntie Pim. \"She lost it all, the house and the land. A lady from the amphur owns it now. The wife has the baby but the Australia man is gone\"</p>\n<p>The moon was bright now and grandmother leaned forward and her eyes were bright too with the fire. \"And this is the fourth fahlang husband she have\" she said.</p>\n<p>Maybe this story gives you a little worry. How can you know if some lady you like has this gambling secret? Of course everyone in love sees only the good thing, but this is a time to know about an old Thai saying: \"If you want to know the elephant, look at the tail. If you want to know the girl, look at the mother.

I must confess that it took me until well into April to implement the first part of my plan, but I\'ve done it - I\'ve finally joined a gym.\n<p>For most of my adult life and certainly all through my teens, I was, as my Dad used to say, \"built like a well-kept grave\".

You\'ve heard about the guy who took his shirt off and there were at least six places you could hang a coat. Well that was me.</p>\n<p>I was skinny right up until the day I got married at the age of 40. Then Mother Nature and middle-age started playing cruel tricks on me and I began to pile on the weight. I didn\'t feel as though I was eating more or spending more time horizontal on the sofa, but I finally started to fill out. The problem was - as many middle-aged men will testify - that fat tends to accumulate in all the wrong places, most noticeably the stomach area. Suddenly there were holiday photos where my head resembled a waterlogged potato. Something had to be done. It\'s just a shame that it took me a further eight years to finally realize it.</p>\n<p>Much of my inspiration has come from my pal Andy up in Chiang Mai (who I may have mentioned in previous blogs) Andy is fanatical about staving off the onset of ageing, especially now he\'s reached the big five-o himself.

Then he\'ll finish off with a disgustingly healthy meal of veggies and brown rice at the local temple. I accompanied Andy on one of his power walks a few months back. When we descended the hill after a long meander through uphill forests, Andy was ready for a fruit shake and a rye bread sandwich, I was ready for thirty minutes on a life support machine.</p>\n<p>Andy is also a mine of terrifying health information, most of which he gets from the internet and most of which he\'s only too happy to share with his unfit friends.</p>\n<p>\"Do you know what I read the other day Phil?\" said Andy. I knew whatever was coming was not going to brighten up the day one iota. \"The body begins to age at twice the normal rate once you reach your late 40\'s. Think about it Phil. Twice the normal rate until the day you die\"</p>\n<p>Thanks Andy. I thought you were a friend.</p>\n<p>But I knew deep down Andy was right. I was spending far too much of my time stagnating in front of a computer. I couldn\'t even remember the last time I did any proper exercise.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, what I don\'t have are large open, verdant spaces in which to power-walk, jog, run, hop - or whatever it takes to get the blood circulating around the body and the heart pumping that little bit faster.

How about gorgeous, lithe females in leotards and legwarmers doing twenty kilometers on a treadmill purely as a warm-up or great big muscle-bound hunks parading naked up and down the men\'s locker room with ginormous wing wangs flapping in the breeze? And let\'s not forget the steroid-guzzling Terminator, lifting the equivalent of a fully-grown African rhino as everyone stands around cheering and copping a crafty feel of his fully flexed biceps.</p>\n<p>It\'s a world I\'ve never felt any association or affinity with. In fact I\'ve always considered the body-builder physique to be ugly. I remember in my youth, reading comics and magazines and seeing the famous Charles Atlas advert with a ripped guy standing on the beach and shouting \"Come on in girls, the water\'s lovely!\" in the direction of a couple of giggly blondes stretched out on their sun-loungers. That was never ever going to be me. I can\'t even fuckin\' swim.</p>\n<p>But you get to a point where you gaze at yourself in the full-length mirror - and I\'m not talking about in your wife\'s underwear when she\'s gone out shopping - and think \"Phil, that stomach\'s got to go\"</p>\n<p>I guess it was pure fate, but a swanky gymnasium and spa complex recently opened about five minutes walk from where I live. Several of my wife\'s work colleagues had already become members and they fed her with glowing reports. \"There\'s even a saltwater swimming pool and free yoga classes\" they said.</p>\n<p>Joining up then became the easy part. The wife and I gritted our teeth (if I was going to suffer, then I was determined she was going down with me) and we both went along to see what this gym lark was all about. I was pleasantly surprised. People of all shapes, sizes and ages were battling with futuristic-looking weight machines and dare I say it - it even looked like good fun. I got an overwhelming sense of &lsquo;well, if they can do it, then so can I\' Sign me up. And yes, I\'ll have 30 hours with a personal trainer as well.</p>\n<p>A few evenings later, I met with Khun Chin, my personal trainer, for the first time. He looked nervous (he\'d never had a farang to take care of before) and I\'m pleased to report that I physically towered over him. He looked like a strong wind would blow him over. Yes, he was firm and well-toned but not as big as some of the other trainers I had seen ambling around.</p>\n<p>We started with him checking my weight, blood pressure and body fat content, then he wanted to know all about my goals. I didn\'t really need to say anything. He only had to take one look at my skinny legs sticking out from under a pair of nylon shorts and my biceps like two knots in cotton. This definitely wasn\'t rocket science. \"I think I know what you want\" he said \"you want to build up your arms and legs and flatten that stomach into a six-pack\"</p>\n<p>\"Errrr....that would be nice\" I said, sounding like I\'d agreed to have a custard cream with a cup of tea at my grandmother\'s house.</p>\n<p>At this point I was introduced to my wife\'s personal trainer - a cute-looking tomboy by the name of Khun Lee. She looked me up and down and said \"actually I think you\'ve got a fantastic shape for a guy of 48\"</p>\n<p>I knew it wasn\'t a flirtatious comment because she obviously batted for the pink team. But then as I glowed with pride and drank in Khun Lee\'s admiration, she added \"apart from your belly\"</p>\n<p>Anyway, to cut a long story short, I\'ve now had eight sessions with the personal trainer and I\'m chuffed with the progress. I can run five kilometres on the treadmill without feeling like I\'ve got the lungs of a 90-year-old ex coal-miner, and I can feel the improvement as well as visibly see it in the mirror. And Khun Chin the PT, despite being shy and lacking in confidence at first glance, has taken on the persona of the drill sergeant from Hell. He pushes and motivates me like I\'ve never been pushed and motivated before. I just wish he wouldn\'t stand beside me while I\'m quenching my thirst at the water cooler and say \"water is for pansies. When you\'re finished, shall we go out and pick some flowers? You\'d like that wouldn\'t you you big pansy? Now get back on that weight machine and give me another two sets\"</p>\n<p>OK, I\'m only kidding. But there are no half measures with this guy. I wouldn\'t summon up the motivation and the reserves without him that\'s for sure.</p>\n<p>As a final thought, it\'s interesting to note how obsessed you can become with all this gym and fitness malarkey. Every day that I don\'t make the gym - even if it\'s for a half-hour workout on the rowing machine - I feel like I\'m betraying my body.</p>\n<p>The refrigerator is now stocked up with organic fruit drinks and cereal bars where once there was just fizzy pop and half a box of donuts. I\'ve even been chatting to my ex-boxer, fitness-fanatic uncle in the UK about abdominal crunches and lower deltoids (I\'d always assumed they were a region in Africa)</p>\n<p>I\'m embracing the new me. And while I\'ll never be getting a call from Hollywood because Sylvester Stallone needs a stunt double, I\'m certainly seeing the benefits of a regular exercise program and beginning to see what all the fuss is about.</p>\n</p>','','2012-05-17 02:49:44',1,'2012-05-17 02:49:44','2012-05-17 16:04:45'),(9297,20,'Going Home','going-home','The difficulties of finding employment when a teacher returns to the USA','The economy is functioning like an alcoholic\'s ailing liver. This has been headline news for several years, but seeing it in the news and experiencing it first hand was quite different.','<p>For expatriates living in Thailand it might be hard to remember it, but for some of us living outside the Kingdom, and in the right locale, it has returned. Spring, that is.</p>\n<p>It\'s light now until about eight thirty in the evening where I live, and the flowers and leafy trees are budding and blooming. Every day I get to see hummingbirds at the flowers on my balcony. For me, this spring marks one cycle of the seasons since I left Thailand and returned here, to my hometown, of Seattle, Washington, USA.</p>\n<h3>Coming home</h3>\n<p>After four years in Bangkok (and prior to that, five years in Tokyo, Japan), one day last April I stepped off a fourteen hour United Airlines flight and into a perfect Pacific Northwest morning.</p>\n<p>The sky was cloudless, it was warm but not hot with a gentle breeze, glorious Mount Rainier was looming tall in the background, and the air was dry and clean, so clean it felt like it\'d been filtered. This is going to be good, I thought then. No more smog, no more humidity, and no more waking up by hacking up green gunk from my lungs.</p>\n<p>Leaving the airport with my folks, the traffic was free of jams. At my mom\'s house the neighborhood was quiet. What a joy not to hear the cacophonous riot of scooters, motorbikes, screeches of vehicles slamming on brakes, and the incessant chattering of the street\'s millions of voices.</p>\n<p>The sidewalks were clean. Moreover, they were mercifully free of sleeping dogs, potholes, scooters, not-sleeping dogs, food vendors, sellers of sundry goods, and more vendors of food. I could actually walk freely - or even go jogging! - on the sidewalks. This is definitely going to be good, I thought. And mostly the past year in America has been good.</p>\n<p>It\'s also been much harder than I\'d anticipated.</p>\n<h3>Recession</h3>\n<p>A large part of the trouble has been due to my underestimating the extent of America\'s economic recession. The economy is indeed functioning like an alcoholic\'s ailing liver. This has been headline news for several years, but seeing it in the news and experiencing it first hand is quite different.</p>\n<p>What I\'ve witnessed here is that due to companies\' vast lay-offs and their reluctance to engage in re-hiring, there is terrible competition for jobs, even entry level ones. Those stories you see on the news about graduate educated Americans working at McDonald\'s are real. I\'ve personally had a terrible time finding a decent job.</p>\n<p>I\'ve had two jobs so far, and am starting my third now. The first was as a Case Manager for develop-mentally disabled adults at a nonprofit organization. It was the best job I\'ve had here, but I didn\'t appreciate it at the time because I\'d just gotten back from Thailand, and was still spoiled about my working conditions.</p>\n<p>The only reason I got that job was because of luck and timing. Management discovered the previous staff, an African, didn\'t have a work visa, and fired him immediately, so they needed a replacement. My mom was a nurse there, she recommended me, and I had a cakewalk of an interview.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Washington State, like most other states, has been hit by a huge budget shortfall, and funding for this nonprofit org. was slashed, which in turn led to a lot of staff getting laid off, including me.</p>\n<h3>\'Job for immigrants\'</h3>\n<p>I spent a bit over a month unemployed, then I got a job at an upscale brand hotel, as a \"houseman.\" This job was for immigrants. \"We don\'t usually hire educated white people for this position,\" management candidly told me at the interview.</p>\n<p>As houseman I drove the shuttle taking the guests to and from the airport, I cleaned the hotel, and I helped the housekeepers to do their job, by supplying their carts with fresh glasses, and changing their garbage. I was at the bottom of the food chain; everybody could tell me what to do. The schedule was bad, too. I worked both day shift and night shifts, so my daily routine was constantly changing.</p>\n<p>Moreover, I always worked weekends. On top of this, management made our schedules week by week, so I only knew the very next week\'s schedule, which made planning trips very hard. All staffs (except management, of course) often worked through their entire shifts without even a meal break.</p>\n<p>I possess ten years of classroom EFL teaching experience, plus a solid education, and this was the type of work available to me. There were many moments, such as when I was cleaning a toilet bowl, or when a housekeeper ordered me to do something, that frustration welled up inside me.</p>\n<h3>Unemployed</h3>\n<p>One day the management was unnecessarily chewing me out, figuring, I guess, that because I had an immigrant\'s job they could treat me like one (\"I know you need this job, you have a wife and bills to pay,\" my manager once said to me), so I quit. Back to the limbo land of unemployment I went.</p>\n<p>It\'s the first time in my life that I\'ve been to an unemployment center. In Washington State they\'re called \"WorkSource.\" Now I\'ve practically set up camp there. I\'ve spent hours participating in workshops on resume building, job hunting skills and interview techniques, and speaking with \"employment counselors.\"</p>\n<h3>\'Humbling\'</h3>\n<p>It\'s such a strange, humbling feeling to be doing those things. As an EFL teacher in Asia I had it made. The demand for good, qualified EFL teachers far exceeded the supply, so for me, with a Masters degree in English Literature and Language (ELL), plus a decade of classroom experience, along with a pleasant and responsible attitude and a well-groomed appearance, interviews were usually only for form\'s sake.</p>\n<p>Never before did I have to seriously worry about finding a job, about not being able to pay rent and bills.</p>\n<p>My work situation is still tenuous. I have managed to get a position as a substitute classroom aide within the south Seattle school district, though. Hopefully lots of teachers will get sick (all apologies to them), and I\'ll get loads of work.</p>\n<p>Having unsteady work is troubling. There\'s this constant nagging. It\'s like you think you\'ve merely got a hangnail, only to look at your finger and find it\'s broken.</p>\n<h3>Reasons to be cheerful</h3>\n<p>It\'s a beautiful morning, this morning, though. It\'s a cloudless day, warm, and the air is so dry and clean. The fir trees and the pine trees and the leafy trees rustle and chatter in the breeze. On days like these I feel so glad I\'ve come home.</p>\n<p>I look out my balcony window at the pink and purple flowers, and I think of all the places I\'ve lived: Japan, Thailand, both the East and West coasts of America. I\'ve found that wherever I go, it\'s always possible to be dissatisfied. There\'s always something to complain about.</p>\n<p>Just a couple months ago at the hotel I had more to complain about than at any other time in my life. Truly. That experience\'s changed me. I guess I\'m starting to realize there\'re lots of things I can\'t control and getting negative about them and overwhelmed by them doesn\'t do any good.</p>\n<p>As I sip my cup of java and admire the flowers, a hummingbird flits up, hovers for a moment. Things could be worse, I think, at least I\'m not cleaning toilet bowls anymore.</p>\n<p><strong>Jesse Sessoms</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/handy2.jpg','2016-01-14 21:06:08',1,'2016-01-14 21:06:08','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(9578,20,'Teacher employer etiquette','teacher-employer-etiquette','All we\'re asking for is a reply','I feel it is just unprofessional that if someone well qualified for an advertised job takes the time to research the job and your school, then you as an employer should have the courtesy (manners) to acknowledge that application even if the applicant may not be right person for the job.','<p>Dear Teacher Employers,</p>\n<p>If you can\'t be bothered reading this e-mail, then please&nbsp;go straight&nbsp;to the last paragraph.</p>\n<p>I am a qualified teacher and&nbsp;have&nbsp;worked in Thailand for the past 10 years. In my university years, I graduated in the top 1% of teachers in Western Australia. In-between working for&nbsp;a Thai school&nbsp;for those 10 years I worked for agencies, small ESL schools and did private tutorial work.

I write this&nbsp;e-mail only because for all the work I have&nbsp;put into an application to your school, never to receive an acknowledgement or even an automated response is pretty shoddy, not to mention unprofessional. There are several other \'reputable\' schools I have omitted in the address bar because their schools had web form applications and thus no email addresses.</p>\n<p>An email from employers saying \'thank you for your application but...\' would at least be polite rather than for the application to&nbsp;just go&nbsp;completely&nbsp;ignored. Now you are thinking... \'But we receive so many applications, how could we?\'. True or untrue, even an automated thank you for an application would do the reputation of your school a good service. To paraphrase a saying -&nbsp;\'a happy teacher tells his colleagues about his experience with a school. An unhappy teacher will tell EVERYONE about that school\'.</p>\n<p>Maybe it\'s because I am currently&nbsp;back in Australia&nbsp;that I&nbsp;am thinking&nbsp;too much about my&nbsp;experiences&nbsp;in Thailand? I don\'t know... There&nbsp;has been a&nbsp;trend in recent years in the name of cost cutting to hire \'non-native speakers\' (yes there are many good teachers in this group but they dont get paid as much) or hire unqualified or under qualified English teachers. But you get what you pay for. Of the 30 teaching jobs I have applied for in the past month and a half, I have had&nbsp;three responses -&nbsp;and&nbsp;from those three responses, I have had&nbsp;two interviews and a job offer which I turned down as it turned out to be with an agency which after some research, I felt would be unsuitable.</p>\n<p>I feel it is just unprofessional that if someone well qualified for an advertised job takes the time to research the job and your school&nbsp;then you as an employer, should have the courtesy (manners) to acknowledge that application even if the applicant&nbsp;may not be right person for the job (even an automated one would be good).</p>\n<p>I love Thailand and I have built a life, raised a family and made many&nbsp;friends over a 10-year period.&nbsp;But if Thailand\'s schools want to become leaders in education (you may think your school is the big fish in the pond, but there are many ponds) it has to appreciate that there are many well qualified and dedicated individuals applying to your schools for work who would rather be told \'no thank you\' if they are not suitable rather than just be&nbsp;left waiting and not knowing where they stand. Remember, like your school, the teachers&nbsp;are professionals and deserve to be treated as such. China, Japan, Korea and the rest of Asia are calling....</p>\n<p>Politeness is one of the core qualities of Thai culture.

','<p>In many schools&nbsp;in Thailand, Thai teachers, as well as foreign teachers, take turns in standing at the school gate to greet parents and students. Two or more teachers are assigned, depending on the size of the school, to do this each day. Many Thai teachers do gate duty religiously, but others don&rsquo;t. On the other hand most&nbsp;foreign teachers never&nbsp;skip their obligation.&nbsp;They stand at the gate before seven o&rsquo;clock in the morning and finish at 8:00&nbsp;o &lsquo;clock, usually&nbsp;when the&nbsp;flag ceremony begins. Thai teachers greet parents and students&nbsp;in Thai but foreign teachers usually initiate greetings in English.</p>\n<p>When I was first assigned to do gate duty&nbsp;five years ago, I was hesitant to do it because I was made to do it one hour every morning for&nbsp;five days a week. You see, in our country, we never do this. Greeting students and parents is done naturally. When students see their teachers, they greet them and vice versa.</p>\n<p>Having no choice but to comply with the policies of the school I was assigned to, I soon realized that&nbsp;gate duty had its advantages. I learned the benefits of doing it. Firstly,&nbsp;gate duty&nbsp;gave my students more opportunity to practice lessons learned on personal information and greetings, which they had not yet&nbsp;fully mastered.&nbsp; For example, when some students were asked, &ldquo;How old are you?&rdquo; They answered confidently, &ldquo;I am fine, thank you.&rdquo; Or before you had finished your greeting, &ldquo;Good morning,&rdquo; they had already said, &ldquo;My name is&hellip;&rdquo;</p>\n<p>It was also an opportunity to meet parents who brought their children to school and make them aware of what their children were being taught. Gate duty also&nbsp;helped me remember students&rsquo; names and know them better outside the classroom. Of course, it gave me the chance to interact with Thai teachers&nbsp;and learn their language.</p>\n<p>One Englishman teaching in an international school in Udon Thani&nbsp;loves doing gate duty. Foreign teachers in his school (five of them in total) are not required to greet students at the school gate but he does it once in&nbsp;a while simply&nbsp;to meet the parents and get&nbsp;to know the students better.</p>\n<p>When I taught in an international school in Chiangmai, gate duty was a compulsory&nbsp;requirement. I&nbsp;would help&nbsp;little kids with their bags and even check their temperatures.&nbsp;There were&nbsp;three foreign teachers in that school. Two were native speakers and I was the lone Filipino. I also noticed that I was the only foreign teacher doing gate&nbsp;duty regularly. The&nbsp;two native speakers would only appear during the&nbsp;flag ceremony. So after a month, I stopped attending. As far as I remember, no one questioned my&nbsp;absence -&nbsp;not even the school director.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>At&nbsp;my present school, gate duty is not a problem anymore. I&rsquo;m only required to stand at the gate for&nbsp;ten minutes. To compare notes on this topic with my friends from the Nonthaburi English Teachers Project, very few said they never did gate duty. Only Thai teachers did this. Their directors never demanded it. For many teachers, they said they only&nbsp;did it once a week.</p>\n<p>I have learned from experience that no matter how long or short my gate duty is, I&nbsp;consider it the best time to learn Thai&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Thai teachers, make new acquaintances&nbsp;with parents and learn about my students. And of course by doing this, I am also giving my students&nbsp;more opportunity to practice English with me.</p>\n<p>So, have you finally dismissed the idea that gate duty&nbsp;ia useless and unwanted&nbsp;task while teaching English here in Thailand?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>For more reading and opinions on Thai gate duty, <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/where-do-you-stand-on-gate-duty/\">there is this ajarn.com article from 2010</a>.</p>','','2012-06-02 19:22:19',1,'2012-06-02 19:22:19','2012-06-03 09:09:20'),(11469,65,'Thailand vs Korea','thailand-vs-korea','Which country offers more for the English teacher?','Living and teaching in both laid back Thailand and fast paced South Korea has made for an interesting perspective on life in Asia.

I have lived in the suburbs of Bangkok for about ten months now - almost as long as the year I spent living in urban Seoul teaching English at an elementary school - so I think it is finally fair to approach the task.</p>\n<p>First the specifics. I worked for the Korean government as the only foreign teacher in a small school of about 2,000 students. I worked 40 hours a week and made almost 2 million KRW (about 1800 US dollars) a month with my accommodation paid for. I had government health insurance, which was always paid correctly and on time, plus I paid an amount of money (which my school matched) into a monthly pension plan. When I completed my one-year contract, I received one month\'s bonus, flight reimbursement, as well as all my pension back (it was a good chunk of change.)</p>\n<p>Here in Thailand, I work for a small \"international\" school outside of the city. I work 45 hours a week and make about 47,000 baht after taxes (which I didn\'t have to pay in Korea.) I get health insurance but worry about if and when I will get my paycheck and I get frustrated with the management on a daily basis. I have a two year contract and if I complete it I will receive 15,000 baht for a bonus. That pretty much sums up all the perks at this job, but hey, we don\'t come to Thailand to make money, do we?</p>\n<p>Living in Seoul was a non-stop party. I spent my entire paycheck every month on shopping, drinking, traveling, drinking, eating and partying. Honestly, the whole year is a bit of a blur. Looking back I always talk highly of Korea and my time there, but it wasn\'t all fun and games. There were a lot of annoying things about Korean culture (just as there are challenges in this one.) I made a lot of money and my job was pretty easy. I was given textbooks, technology, a Korean assistant teacher in my classroom, and had pretty much no accountability.</p>\n<p>There is a reason a lot of expats live in Korea for several years, its a good gig. In Thailand, I have tried to change my lifestyle so I am saving a lot more and going out a lot less. Yes, it is cheap here but its pretty easy to spend money if you aren\'t careful.</p>\n<p>Asians are notorious for being pushy - and Koreans are infamous. In Seoul, a little old lady would push you out of the way in her hurry to get the best pick at the market, and in Thailand a similar old woman might do the same, yet in a less violent way, maybe with a little acknowledgment. Everyone always has some place to be but Koreans are just more aggressive on the roads and in line. Thai people like to crowd around and push just as much, however it is usually just a bit more passive aggressive with some bowing of the head involved.</p>\n<p>Saving face is an aspect you cannot escape in any Asian country. It is something I am not used to. I have gotten used to being stared at in the street (both equally bad in both countries), getting blank stares when trying to use their language and showering over my sink. I am not sure if I will ever get used to the passive aggressive nature of my Asian coworkers. I say what is on my mind - sometimes behind closed doors - but I cannot pretend everything is just peachy. I feel that this issue is more present in my life in Thailand as I have to talk to parents more who really demonstrate this cultural norm. It has been rare in both Korea and Thailand to hear people speak frankly and honestly when it comes to important topics. It is something you have to deal with but I don\'t know if I will ever totally be comfortable with.</p>\n<p>To be honest, I enjoyed my job and living in Korea much more than I do here. I had to deal with my fair share of frustrations in Seoul, and others had a much worse experience than I did, so maybe I just got lucky there and I have been very unlucky here.</p>\n<p>In Korea I had small disturbances to my day such as class being cancelled without notice, having to teach my youngest students without a co-teacher, and being required to attend school functions, even though I couldn\'t understand a thing that was being said. I was very angry when these things would happen, but in hindsight I would take a free meal spoken in Korean over having to fight for my paycheck in a second. It is important to note that I worked for the government in Korea so there were strict regulations for native teachers, whereas in Thailand, I am the only one looking out for me. Such is life I guess.</p>\n<p>Overall, I think it comes down to the fact that working in Korea was easy, everything was basically spoon-fed to me. Here I have to fight my own way and I feel like I am more of an adult, with a lot of responsibilities. While Thailand may not be the happy paradise I was expecting, I have learned much more about myself and the world and I believe that everything on our journey happens for a reason. Apparently it is time for this married twenty something girl to grow up.</p>\n<p>It\'s funny how you get used to a place and can think of it as home. Now when I crave things from my past life it is no longer Olive Garden bread sticks (ok, it still is) but also red, stinky kimchi and cheap, delicious rice wine. When I move on I will miss buckets of ice with my beer and the plethora of street vendors at my disposal. It is obviously different working in a more developed country than a poorer one but they both have good and bad aspects. Maybe its just time I go home and remind myself what the job market and vacation time is like back there...</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to read more about my life and my adventures, then please <a href=\"http://www.onedayillflyaway.com/\">take a look at my personal blog site</a>.</p>','','2012-06-10 00:51:03',1,'2012-06-10 00:51:03','2012-06-10 20:08:04'),(11472,69,'What to expect when you move to Thailand','what-to-expect-when-you-move-to-thailand','Life in the sticks and other oddities','I packed my bags and moved to Thailand to eventually become an English teacher. I was offered jobs in different parts of Thailand, but I quickly decided to move to a village in the North East region of Thailand, as opposed to a city. Moving from a city in Canada to a village in Thailand is a radical change but it\'s the type of challenge I was looking for.','<p>So you\'ve decided to move to Thailand! Welcome to the exciting world of \"So, what exactly am I eating again? Oh, chicken blood? Lovely\".</p>\n<p>I am originally from Canada where I was brought up in the suburbs. Upon graduation, I moved to the city, found a corporate job and settled into the wonderful world of mundane monotony. I was sick of living what I felt was a routine, soul-crushing, pencil-pushing, life-sucking existence. I realized that I needed a challenge that would let me feel..... anything different!</p>\n<p>When I was in university, I had this insatiable zest for life. I was eternally optimistic (yes - I was that person) and felt like nothing would ever be able to make me become an ordinary person just working the 9-5. Then, reality hit and I became accustomed to routine. Sadly, I became that person who just settles for custom and bitches about lost opportunities. After 2 years of the grind, I decided that I needed a drastic change.</p>\n<p>I packed my bags and moved to Thailand to eventually become an English teacher. I was offered jobs in different parts of Thailand, but I quickly decided to move to a village in the North East region of Thailand, as opposed to a city. Moving from a city in Canada to a village in Thailand is a radical change (I know - Duh!). It\'s the type of challenge I was looking for and the fact that the lifestyle was so radically different from city life was a BIG point of excitement.</p>\n<p>Naturally, culture shock is something that you come prepared for. You come prepared to eat different food, meet different people, learn a different language, experience a different life..... As prepared as I thought I was, there were still some things that truly intrigued me. These were things that I was not prepared for when I moved to the village:</p>\n<p>1. Sounds like common sense, but I was NOT prepared to be one of the only two Western women living in the village. As a result, we are always stared at everywhere we go. Grocery shopping, to the doctors office, biking, sitting on our lawn.... We are ALWAYS the subject of town gossip.</p>\n<p>To villagers living in the North East of Thailand, it must have been strange to see two independent women walking about without men around us. Many people would ask me where my boyfriend was. When I replied that I didn\'t have one, they would ask the question again, as if my answer would change the second time. When I repeated the same answer, the silence that followed was almost preferred to the inevitable question of \"Why?\".</p>\n<p>Now... I was a proud, single woman but it is really difficult to answer that question to someone from a culture that doesn\'t really understand equality and independence in women. My explanation of \"needing to see the world\" and \"wanting to travel anywhere\" and \"now-a-days women don\'t need to have a boyfriend to do things\" and blah blah blah would generally just get me blank stares and another attempt to understand me: <br />\"Oh. So you like women?\"<br />Sigh....<br />\".... Yes. I like women\"</p>\n<p>2. People seemed to always know where we were, what we were doing, how long we were there for, who we were talking to, what we were eating, what we were wearing..... the entire town seemed to know everything about our lives! This didn\'t bother me as such, but it presented such a different reality as opposed to living in a city where you are virtually anonymous!</p>\n<p>I was at the market buying some fruit and people came up to me saying something along the lines of, \"it\'s a good thing that you\'re eating fruit because you weigh too much to eat a lot of meat\". Now, luckily for me, every sundown my skin turns green and I warp into a scaly looking ogre thing (channeling Princess Fiona - I TOTALLY feel your pain), so my weight is the least of my concerns. But my initial reaction was still shocked - not that someone was implying I was fat, but telling me my exact weight!</p>\n<p>This gem of a stranger decided to answer my unasked question with \"Oh, the nurse at the hospital told me\". As a part of my teaching contract I have to get a medical checkup done once a semester. The nurse who took my application must have thought the information vital to share. Once again, this didn\'t bother me but it was a far cry from the realm of privacy that is associated with medical institutions in the West.</p>\n<p>Sometimes when I\'m walking around town, people will still shout from their scooters as they drive by, \"Maya! How is your infection doing?\" ...... I wish there was enough time for me to clarify with them that it was a LEG infection.</p>\n<p>3. I was truly shocked to learn the value that Thai people (especially from villages) place on beauty. I was even more taken aback when I saw how far people went to attain their vision of ideal beauty. Over here, people love white skin. Like, LOVE it. In the North East of Thailand farming, construction, buffalo herding and fishing are the most common jobs that the average Thai person will have. These are all jobs that imply you have to work in the fields and in the sun all day and are, therefore, poor. If you are whiter-skinned, it is generally accepted that you are rich and you can afford to either hire people to work for you or you have been fortunate enough to obtain a better paying job in an office somewhere.</p>\n<p>Since such an importance is placed on light skin, mostly every product has a \"whitening\" label on it. Popular Western brands like Nivea, Oil of Olay, Jergens, Johnson and Johnson, and so many others all have released whitening-moisturizers, whitening-sunscreen, whitening-powder, whitening-body wash, whitening-deodorant..... These bleach-filled products fill the shelves of every grocery store, department store, 7/11 and local convenience stores.</p>\n<p>It becomes a challenge for westerners living in small towns (like me) to shop for basic essentials - I love to jog so I NEED my deodorant! The brands listed above are all from the West so they are naturally very expensive. There are Thai brands that are more affordable for the average Thai person, however they don\'t put the same quality ingredients into their products so there people everywhere - students, adults, teachers - who are essentially bleaching their skin everyday! It is SO unhealthy and you can see the damage that is being done to the younger generation, not only to their skin, but to their image of beauty and confidence as well.</p>\n<p>4. I was not prepared for how slow the lifestyle can be. This may sound like common sense, but consider yourself warned - if you are moving to a village, everything in life will move slower. This is not entirely a bad thing. Coming from a city, it was such an eye opener and a welcome change to not constantly feel rushed to be somewhere, to do something, to meet someone.</p>\n<p>While slowing down and appreciating life is a wonderful opportunity, at times it can feel monotonous (which is ironic, because the fun adventure that I set out to have also has aspects of routine to it as well!). Living in a village is not the ideal setting to foster hobbies. In Canada, I could go rock climbing or to the library. I could go to the movies, to the mall, to the outdoor paintballing park, to a volleyball match, to the city square, to a guitar lesson..... I could go anywhere! Now, I can\'t even go for a walk past 8 pm because it gets dark out and the crazy stray dogs try to kill you if you walk when it\'s dark.</p>\n<p>In Bua Yai, you can either stay in your house and read (that\'s right.... There\'s no wifi where I live) or go to the local pubs and drink (which is where you will find the town drunk who also moonlights as a part time police officer and a part time mechanic).</p>\n<p>The reality of living in a village - expect a slower lifestyle. Unless you are able and willing to entertain yourself, it is easy to either become bored or fall into a false sense of reality and think it\'s normal to drink yourself into a stupor every day of the week.</p>\n<p>5. People over here have truly mastered the art of just being able to sit and enjoy a beautiful day. There is no guilt associated with not always having something urgent that needs to be done. This was one of the first differences I observed when I moved to Bua Yai. It appeared to me that because people were so much more relaxed and content that everyone was SO friendly. Anywhere I went, there was always a host of people ready to offer me a smile, a ride, a drink, a meal.... It was so refreshing to be in the company of people who were so open and willing to communicate with a stranger.</p>\n<p>I remember when I first moved to Bua Yai in 2011, I was walking down the street and a random couple entertaining a crying infant called my name from across the street. I walked over not knowing what to expect - maybe some friendly conversation, perhaps a dinner invite or even an explanation as to how they knew my name, as I had never seen them before.....instead, they handed me their child to play with while the wife went in and mixed a whisky soda for me (this, by the way, was all done with no formal dialogue because they spoke barely a word of English and my Thai at the time was comparable to a chimps understanding of theoretical physics). To me, at least, this was something that does not happen very often.</p>\n<p>It was one of my favorite experiences living here because it was so far from my reality in Canada. In the West, people don\'t smile as much and we certainly don\'t go out of our way for strangers as much. It is generally accepted that even though strangers have the best candy, you don\'t give your newborn infant to a random people walking the street. (disclaimer - kids, don\'t take candy from strangers. That was a joke).</p>\n<p>The above writing was written with the intention to inform people about the realities of living in a village. It is impossible to write about all the subtle and in-your-face-differences you are bound to experience, but I have tried to capture ones that intrigued me the most.</p>\n<p>At times when you feel your privacy violated, your views on social norms challenged (drinking in the open with a random baby - I seriously can\'t get over that!) and you start to feel yourself slip into possible alcoholism out of shear boredom, remember that you\'re still living a dream that so many people would love to live. Make the most of your experience, soak in all the culture you can and learn more about the world. <br /><br />Living in such a small town with no distractions really helped me to find my roots and my balance again. I was able to think about my life and truly clarify what was important to me. Was working at a 9-5 job with a good salary and a comfortable life important? It does, after all, provide more stability and security as well as guarantee a much stronger financial future.</p>\n<p>Or was throwing caution to the wind and just trying to experience everything life has to offer more of a priority? I come from a family that, for the most part, lives a habitual life - I truly see no shame in that. My childhood and adulthood have been shaped by the amazing foundation that my family made for me. But I had worked the scheduled life and I wasn\'t happy - moving to Thailand put me in the right head-space to really figure out if that life was for me.</p>\n<p>I\'m still figuring out everything as I go along. I\'m the first one to admit that I don\'t have all the answers. The one thing I know for sure, without a doubt in my mind, is that moving to Thailand was the best adventure of my life. Anybody who wants to see the world, to challenge what they believe, to test themselves, to push themselves, to cross new boundaries, to open new doors, to break free of monotony ..... even if you just need some time to zen out and figure out what you want to do...... moving to another country that vastly contrasts what you\'ve grown up with it is a good opportunity to just clear your head.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You may be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-mistakes/\">Teacher mistakes - What are some of the most common mistakes that new arrivals make when they come to teach in Thailand?</a></p>','','2012-06-11 16:41:02',1,'2012-06-11 16:41:02','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(11484,32,'Short and sweet','short-and-sweet','How to get large classes talking','Over the last 7 years of working in Thailand, I’ve seen numerous teaching forum threads about how to get large classes talking.','<p>Over the last 7 years of working in Thailand, I\'ve seen numerous teaching forum threads about how to get large classes talking.\n<p>Up until this new school year, I\'d always skipped most of these types of posts because I taught general English to P1 to 4, and there was little room for T to S and S to T interaction, let alone S to S.</p>\n<p>I jumped at the opportunity to teach conversational English to M2 at a school that has an excellent reputation for teaching grammar.

Read the fourth and final instalment.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>For those of you that have never had cause to go into the court system here, the court system in Thailand probably&nbsp;works very differently to where you come from. It is a sharp contrast to the US court system.</p>\n<p>\n<p>After a year of monthly&nbsp;court and mandatory mediation hearings, producing the picture evidence and receipts that clearly showed why I cancelled the contract, the contractor re-thought the amount he was suing me for and dropped it to half of the original amount (which was 290,000 baht)</p>\n<p>I refused his offer. I wanted to go to court in front of a real judge. The mediation officer was a friendly man and had the authority to settle the case, but I felt the case would never be settled with him. Of course he was neutral as he should be, but I felt he leaned more toward the contractor&nbsp;going on&nbsp;his remarks and actions.</p>\n<p>Not being fluent in Thai, there was a lot I didn\'t understand. But I had done nothing wrong and wasn\'t about to let this crooked contractor get away with any more of my money. I felt that by&nbsp;going to court, any reasonable judge would plainly see that the contractor had duped me and I had every right to cancel the contract. My attorney also advised me not to settle. Having exhausted all the mandatory mediation hearings, I was finally able to go in front of a real judge to get my case heard. Eventually. But it took another four months to finally get a court date.</p>\n<p>When I walked into the court room, I was shocked to see that the person I thought was the mediation officer was in fact the judge. He had seen and heard all my evidence from six months of mediation hearings, but now it was the attorney\'s turn to try and solidify their case.</p>\n<p>My wife was called to the stand first. They asked her&nbsp;the usual questions that had&nbsp;led up to me terminating the contract. Several times it became a shouting match between&nbsp;the contractor\'s&nbsp;attorney and my wife, but she stood her ground and gave&nbsp;only the facts.&nbsp;My wife&nbsp;was on the witness stand all of the first day.</p>\n<p>The&nbsp;following week we went back to the court and they called my wife back to the stand. The judge wanted to clarify some details in her testimony and ask her some more&nbsp;questions. When&nbsp;my wife had&nbsp;finished, I was called to the stand. Because there was only an hour until the court closed, the judge had me&nbsp;sworn in and&nbsp;clarified submitted evidence.</p>\n<p>During the mediation process - when I was ask to clarify something by&nbsp;the contractor\'s&nbsp;attorney - I noticed that he constantly tried to twist the facts in his favor. I know attorneys are trained to do this because I have a good friend&nbsp;who is&nbsp;a lawyer&nbsp;and he\'s told me many things that&nbsp;they are trained to do. I always felt like&nbsp;my contractor\'s attorney&nbsp;was waiting for me to make a mistake. But, when you\'re telling the truth, one doesn\'t make mistakes&nbsp;with the facts.</p>\n<p>The third week, I was called back to the stand.&nbsp;The contractor\'s&nbsp;attorney seemed to be having a hard time asking me straightforward questions. Even though my house is a single story house, he referred to it&nbsp;as a first floor and the roof as a second floor. I corrected him, but he continued to make the same mistake. He asked me to describe all the problems with the first floor. When I started describing the problems, he cut in and started asking questions about the second floor. He had done this several times, so I stopped him and told him in a very sarcastic way, \"I\'m not finished describing the problems with the first floor yet. We aren\'t up to the second floor\"&nbsp;The&nbsp;attorney&nbsp;looked at the judge with a smirk and told the judge I was being a hostile witness. The judge told him he was also getting confused and to only ask questions on one floor at a time. Score one big point&nbsp;for me.</p>\n<p>The lawyer&nbsp;continuously tried to confuse me, but he never got what he wanted. One question he asked me was, \"what does the house look like now?\" I told him, \"That is irrelevant. What is relevant is all the problems that had to be corrected that&nbsp;the contractor&nbsp;refused to correct.\" The attorney looked at the judge and smiled. The judge didn\'t say anything.</p>\n<p>Now to the fourth week of the case.&nbsp;I went back on the witness stand and the judge asked his attorney for a list of roofing supplies he&nbsp;used on my roof. I knew then it was going to cost me more money.&nbsp;The attorney told the judge that his client didn\'t have the receipts. The judge became clearly annoyed and told him, \"Your client is asking 290,000 baht for roofing materials he installed on Mr. Sasser\'s house and you have no proof of what it cost?\" He mumbled and told the judge that this was indeed the situation. The judge told me to call a roofing contractor and get a price on just the roofing that was installed as seen in the pictures.</p>\n<p>The following week, &nbsp;I went back on the stand and gave the judge the estimate for the roofing supplies -&nbsp;57,000 baht. After the judge looked at it, he called a recess and told the attorneys to stay in the courtroom and everyone else to leave. When we went back in to the courtroom,&nbsp;the contractor\'s&nbsp;attorney looked like he had got&nbsp;a good&nbsp;spanking. My attorney told me that the judge was very upset that the contractor had tried to get that amount of money without any evidence.</p>\n<p>In the end, I had to pay the 57,000 baht for the tiles&nbsp;the contractor had&nbsp;installed on the roof. The judge told me that if I had taken off what he had done and not used it, I wouldn\'t have had&nbsp;to pay anything. The judge\'s decision seemed reasonable. But of course I was hoping to not have to pay anything.</p>\n<p>A week later, my attorney brought me a pay schedule of the amount I would need to&nbsp;pay the contractor every month, because I flatly&nbsp;refused to pay him all at once. I thought that with&nbsp;all the headaches he had caused me, this&nbsp;was just a small way to get back at him.</p>\n<p>When&nbsp;my lawyer&nbsp;took the first payment and the pay schedule for&nbsp;the contractor&nbsp;to sign,&nbsp;the contractor&nbsp;told my attorney he didn\'t want any interest&nbsp;put on the total bill - in fact he didn\'t even want my money at all.&nbsp;My attorney brought me back&nbsp;the unsigned payment schedule and my money. He told me he had never heard of anyone doing this -&nbsp;and to pay the contractor&nbsp;when and if I ever&nbsp;wanted to.</p>\n<p>So in the end, the contractor is the loser. For now anyway. I\'m not in any hurry to ever pay him. My attorney told me to not worry and if anything is said to call him right away.</p>\n<p>My home is complete now -&nbsp;and it\'s finally the house I wanted.</p>\n<p>I sincerely hope that if anyone is considering building a home in Thailand, they read what can and might&nbsp;happen.</p>\n<p><strong>Ralph Sasser</strong></p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/halfhouse.jpg','2012-06-27 20:47:34',1,'2012-06-27 20:47:34','2012-06-28 12:12:35'),(11763,52,'July 2012','july-2012','All the latest news and deals from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','If you are looking for discounts and special deals on Thailand TEFL courses, tune in to our monthly TEFL course news blog and be the first to hear about them.','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> are offering a last-minute deal on their August 6th course for ajarn.com readers.

I had six older brothers, I was the first girl in the family, and there was a lot of cooking and dish-washing to be done in the morning. My father thought that girls who stayed too long in school would just get pregnant.\n<p>I called them \"coms\" but you didn\'t usually see them because they came at night, talking to the men in the shadows at the edge of the village.</p>\n<p>Only one of the men in our village, our neighbor\'s son, joined them and went off to the mountains in the west, one day\'s walk. Now I think back and he was only a boy, he had some trouble or maybe he was just bored with life in the village. The name of our village was \"cow stable village\" and maybe you agree it does not sound very exciting.</p>\n<p>No one said much about the boy who went with the coms, we were not a talk family. But the police killed him in the market a few months later when he came down from the mountains to get food. Once we went to visit my uncle in the mountains, where the coms were. I climbed a guava tree and I saw them, walking in a line with their guns. Coms, coms! I shouted. My brother pretended he did not hear me.</p>\n<p>They said that the army was coming and that the families who lived in the mountains where the coms were must come down and stay with the families in our village which was between the highway and the mountains. But the soldiers stayed on the highway and at night the big guns shot into the mountains, you would hear the big wheee over our village and then counting to five, you would hear the boom echoing back from the mountains.</p>\n<p>Two mountain families came to live in our house, we had space because my oldest three brothers had already married. The families were all big in those days, there were maybe thirty kids completely. I was very happy because some of the girls were older, maybe 16, ready to marry themselves, and they were given the work of threshing the rice and washing the dishes, so I was free.</p>\n<p>Since I was the host I could tell these mountain kids, who felt a little shy in my house with so many big boys, what we must do after lunch. \"We will sit under this big tree, it is a school,\" I told them. Then since I was the school principal I appointed myself to be the teacher too. \"Boys and girls,\" I said, \"we are going to learn the names of gup kow, all the tasty things to eat with rice.\" Gin kow, we say for the word eat. Years later I had a student, he laughed when I taught him this, he said that was like an Irish man saying I am going home to eat a potato.</p>\n<p>At the head of my school under the big tree I pointed at the blackboard, which was of course also only in my imagination. \"Miss Poo,\" I said, because she was not paying enough attention, \"what is this gup kow\"? She was quite bold, this girl. \"That is a crab\", she said, the word for her own nickname Poo. \"Wrong! You are a crab but this is a shrimp\", I said in a loud voice. Even though my body is small, having six older brothers taught me to have a loud voice. Everyone laughed, but the girl didn\'t mind because this was not really a school, I was not really a teacher, nor was she a student. We were just kids having fun under a big tree.</p>\n<p>Now my story moves ahead two years. My father decided again that I had enough school, at age ten, which is usually when the girls stopped going to school in those days, but my grandmother said I should go more and of course the father must listen to his mother-in-law. Most of our land comes from my mother\'s family. My father thought that it was better I stay home and do the housework and help my mother, she was making and selling kanom in the market and he was busy finding wives for my brothers. \"I need her to pick some chillies as a gift for this family, I must pay them ten thousand baht sin sot for their daughter,\" he grumbled to my grandmother. It was a long hot day for me alone picking chillies.</p>\n<p>But my grandmother won again and now here I was, back in a new school, pratom 5, the only farm girl in the class. The teacher was doing funny things with his tongue to show as how they speak english. \"This word is what, boys and girls?\" He wrote girl on the blackboard.</p>\n<p>This boy Pon that the teacher called on tried to say the english. Gleu, he said, like the thai word for \"buddy\". Everyone laughed. The boys hated the teacher to call on them. Even at that age they didn\'t like to perform. Usually, when they don\'t know what to do, Thai kids look at the parents or older family members or friends and someone will just do it for them. But no one knew how to say it better. The teacher looked at me. \"Nim,\" he said, \"how do you say this\"? \"GIRN\" I said. I didn\'t mind everyone looking at me. In fact I liked it, it was like playing teacher under the tree. In fact I hoped he would ask me again next time, to be the teacher when he had to leave the class for a meeting.</p>\n<p>These things I don\'t mind at all, I learned to like to perform because of the Coms!</p>\n<p>So what can you learn from this story? I think three things.</p>\n<p>First, the Thai kids hate to fail in front of their friends. So if you begin to teach a class, better at first don\'t say \"No, that is not correct.\" maybe you can say \"Oh, English is very hard to pronounce, I have big trouble when try to speak Thai.\"</p>\n<p>Second, if you make the lesson a pretend game, such as \"OK, today we are going to be tourists in USA, we go to the supermarket but don\'t know what is this strange fahlang food\" of course everyone will make mistakes but it will not lose face, but enjoy the joke.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Third, after everyone relaxes doing this for a while, they will enjoy more performing and not worry about mistakes. It is all about confidence!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/mim3.gif\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Auntie Nim grew up in a small village a long walk from the nearest paved road.

He said the negative attitude of Thai students towards learning&nbsp;English, heavy teaching loads&nbsp;every week, unusual classes with several ADHD cases, gate duties, faculty meetings to attend even&nbsp;when&nbsp;he&nbsp;couldn\'t understand a thing - these were all&nbsp;things he could bear. What he could not&nbsp;stomach was the task of&nbsp;ushering students&nbsp;across the street like&nbsp;some sort of&nbsp;traffic enforcer.</p>\n<p>This Filipino had taught in his school for nearly two years when he&nbsp;was given the duty of helping students&nbsp;across the street. However, it was not his duty at all on&nbsp;the day the trauma occurred. A Thai teacher had&nbsp;begged a favor from him&nbsp;and to show co-operation to a colleague,&nbsp;the Filipino&nbsp;agreed&nbsp;to the favor&nbsp;hesitation - except that it turned out to be his unlucky day.</p>\n<p>One afternoon&nbsp;at the&nbsp;end of the schoolday,&nbsp;nine students, aged between&nbsp;5 and&nbsp;12 (who all&nbsp;lived approximately&nbsp;a hundred meters from the school)&nbsp;walked home with the teacher. Upon seeing the right side of the road free of oncoming vehicles, the teacher motioned&nbsp;for&nbsp;the students to walk and stand&nbsp;in the middle of the road, as they usually did. But when the teacher looked&nbsp;up the left side of the road, a speeding pick-up truck&nbsp;was approaching. The teacher waved the red flag he was holding in order&nbsp;to signal the pick-up to stop. The&nbsp;driver of the vehicle&nbsp;took no notice.&nbsp;One of the students had already begun to&nbsp;cross the street. In a flash, there was a screech of brakes and&nbsp;the poor boy was suddenly&nbsp;lying&nbsp;in the road&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The teacher rushed to his student and carried him to the pick-up. He ordered the driver to take the boy to the nearest hospital. The boy looked dead. Blood flowed from&nbsp;his nose and&nbsp;from cuts to his&nbsp;head. He was motionless and not breathing. The confused teacher shook the boy several times but the boy wouldn\'t come round. He thought the student was dead. A lot of negative thoughts came into his head. He couldn\'t stand the thought&nbsp;of taking&nbsp;the blame&nbsp;off everyone, the repercussions of the incident, and worst of all&nbsp;- the loss of his student and his job. He genuinely&nbsp;thought it was the end of his career as a teacher in Thailand. Once again, for his own curiosity, he checked the boy\'s heartbeat. He wasn\'t convinced. This time, he held the boy\'s pulse. The boy began to respond.</p>\n<p>At the hospital the boy was examined and doctors diagnosed&nbsp;a head fracture and internal hemorrhage. He was observed for several hours and given medication. The next morning, the doctor announced that&nbsp;the boy was out of danger. Luckily, no one blamed the teacher for what happened. Only the guilt of having been unable to prevent the accident kept haunting him. The owner of the pickup shouldered the bills and paid the boy\'s family 40,000 baht&nbsp;in damages.</p>\n<p>For days after the incident, the teacher&nbsp;asked if he could be relieved from doing&nbsp;road-crossing duties.&nbsp;He had clearly been traumatized by the incident. He&nbsp;asked the director if it would be possible&nbsp;to have a&nbsp;policeman help the schoolchildren cross the street instead. His suggestion and request were considered but&nbsp;things didn\'t happen quite&nbsp;as the teacher expected. Improvements to the system were made but only inasmuch as another Thai teacher&nbsp;would assist him and at the side of the road, a sign would be&nbsp;put up saying&nbsp;in Thai - \"School zone. Slow down. Children crossing.\"</p>\n<p>Crossing the street in Thailand is so risky. Two years ago, I was nearly&nbsp;run over&nbsp;by a car when I was crossing a road in Laksi. Although most drivers here will slow down, stop, and signal for the pedestrian to cross the road; there are others who seem to&nbsp;consider themselves&nbsp;\"the king of the road.\"</p>\n<p>So far in Thailand, I have known only&nbsp;two Filipino victims of hit and run accidents. There might be more but one issue is why foreign teachers can\'t be exempted from ushering students in crossing streets. Their work is to teach English. They never had training in traffic management. They don\'t have sufficient Thai to control students outside school especially when&nbsp;the life of students are at stake.</p>\n<p>Certain considerations have to be accorded to foreign teachers. Instead of making them traffic enforcers, canteen sellers or ground cleaners, the director could assign them after school activities that can enhance students\' proficiency in English. Do you agree with me?</p>\n<p>I just hope that an incident of this nature&nbsp;does not happen again&nbsp;and that our treasured, highly-respected and valued EFL teachers will consider their coming to Thailand a blessing and not a curse.</p>\n</p>','','2012-07-01 07:21:51',1,'2012-07-01 07:21:51','2012-07-01 21:09:52'),(11782,108,'The medical world is changing','the-medical-world-is-changing','More expensive health insurance premiums can mean better equipment','Things keep changing in the field of medical care - and that means that costs keep increasing.

I mention this because we are now able to provide some very interesting employer group coverage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>It only takes two employees to qualify as a group and they don\'t have to fill out a health application or answer any health questions. Pre-existing conditions can be covered, including acute and chronic conditions and HIV/AIDS. But before you rush out to ask your school to get this coverage for their teachers, you should be aware that this coverage costs considerably more than Ajarn Group coverage; although the coverage is considerably higher, also. Unless you teach at a very wealthy school, though, I strongly doubt that your school would be interested.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But, all of the employees of a company don\'t need to be covered under this program.

I\'m planning on heading to Thailand at the end of December this year. A couple of my friends are heading out in October and have asked me to go join them after a couple of months. How can I refuse?? I hate my job, my flat and this bloody country at the moment (England) so I have decided to go.</p>\n<p>I\'m planning on going for about 4-6 months, and after buying my plane ticket I\'ll probably have about &pound;2,000 (sterling) saved up to take with me. Do you think as a little back-packer living life on the cheap this could suffice for around four months or would I need to work?</p>\n<p>I\'m interested in teaching (I have a bachelors degree) and my friends tell me this woud be enough for me to approach a school and get work. We are however planning on travelling around so I don\'t know which area of Thailand we would be in at this point. We don\'t have an iron clad itinerary. (is this bad?)</p>\n<p>What visa would you recommend? And would I need to sort a work permit before I jet off or can I sort that there if and when I need one? Any help/answers/advice woud be greatly appreciated. Sorry for waffling.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Jay, you\'re woefully underfunded. 2,000 pounds is just 100,000 baht at the current exchange rate. You say that your objective is to stay in Thailand for 4-6 months. Even at four months, you\'re only averaging 25,000 baht a month. That\'s just over 800 baht a day! Don\'t even think about travelling around Thailand looking for week on such a meagre daily allowance. Forget what it says in dog-eared Lonely Planet guides from several years ago, Thailand has definitely become more expensive of late and that includes accommodation and transportation across the country. If the 100 baht a night fan bungalow ever existed, you\'ll have a hell of a job tracking them down now. And those aren\'t going to be areas to look for teaching work anyway.</p>\n<p>My advice - save at least three to four thousand quid if you can. The only answer to the question \"how much should I bring?\" is \"bring as much as possible\". When you\'re travelling around Asia on the bones of your arse, all you need is one accident or one disagreement with a nasty local to financially wipe you out. And that can happen to the best of us.</p>\n<p>December is also the worst month of the year in Thailand to look for teaching jobs and it\'s closely followed by January. Get the picture? If you\'re coming over with two thousand quid, I think you\'ve enough money to tide you over for a month or two and then you are going to have to look for work. Remember that if you are going to settle down here for a while and teach, you\'re going to have to stump up deposits for apartments, etc. You might have to wait a month until you get your first paycheck. All that has to be done with your 2,000 pound nest egg. Screw a sense of adventure. I wouldn\'t do it.</p>\n<p>I would hold off until early March and then come over. Early March is when the job market picks up so at least you have the security of knowing that you\'ll find teaching work easier if thise funds start dwindling faster than expected.</p>\n<p>I\'m not worried about you finding a job. You\'ve got a degree. You\'re qualified enough. You\'ll find work no problem. But I am concerned about your financial numbers. Don\'t let the fact that you hate everything about life in England cloud your judgement. Always stay focused.</p>\n<p>I would get a tourist visa (60 days) but try for a non-immigrant B visa (unlikely without a firm job offer)</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Tam from Scotland</h3>\n<p>I\'m a 30 year old male from the UK. My highest qualification is a Higher National Diploma: Communication with Media. I spent two years (2009-2011) as a TEFL teacher in provincial Thailand at various establishments and teaching all age groups. The second job I landed was at a university where I was assured that my four years at college were equivalent to an Associates Degree, which was equivalent to a Bachelors Degree. The president of the university wrote a letter claiming I had a BA, with which the university obtained a work permit and non-B visa for me.</p>\n<p>I left Thailand in 2011 because the school I worked for at that time could not provide adequate documentation for me to get a non-B visa, and the embassy kept demanding a letter from the Thai Ministry of Education, which the school did not obtain on my behalf. (I believe this was because the MoE wanted to see a copy of the degree certificate, but I heard that as long as the school vouch for the teacher then everything should go ahead without a hitch).</p>\n<p>I am currently in the UK working and saving to return to Thailand within a couple of months. I am studying a TEFL certificate online and considering various life degrees (I know several teachers who have had no problem finding work with life degrees from the University of Dublin, but have been informed that Almeda University are better \'accredited\'...). I am also considering taking a CELTA or TESOL course at some point, or studying for an official BA with the Open University, although these are both expensive and time consuming.</p>\n<p>Naturally, I would like to take the easiest path with the least amount of hassle which enables all processes to happen above board. I have contacted the relevant qualifications authority to see if I am eligible for BA accreditation or suchlike, but am curious as to what other options would best suit me otherwise?</p>\n<p>I really enjoyed teaching Pratom classes at the Tessaban schools, but also enjoyed university and adult classes as well so I\'m open to pretty much anything and am aware that there are different requirements for different types of teaching.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says</strong></p>\n<p>Hi Tam. You spent two years teaching in Thailand very recently, and at various schools and universities by the sound of it. You obviously know how things work here - or you certainly should by now. To be honest, I\'m a little surprised that you\'re asking these questions given your experience. Perhaps you\'re looking for some kind of reassurance? Let me say one thing right from the start - things haven\'t got any easier for teachers without degrees in the short time you\'ve been away.</p>\n<p>You\'ve experienced both sides of the coin here. You\'ve worked for the university with \'connections in the right places\' or simply an instititute that knows what it\'s doing - and they managed to get your paperwork and work permit all sorted without any hassle. And you\'ve also worked for a language school that failed with the same task. That\'s still the case here and always will be - some schools can and some schools can\'t.</p>\n<p>One thing I wouldn\'t do is go down the \'life degree\' route. I don\'t doubt for a moment that you know or have heard of teachers beating the system in this way but we all know that life degrees are a scam. Cassandra James, an experienced Thailand teacher, wrote about the perils of using life degrees in Thailand back in late 2009. Nothing\'s changed. If you come up against a foreign or Thai interviewer who knows his or her job well enough, all they have to do is tap the name of the university into Google and you could find yourself in serious trouble. OK, you might find a rural school desperate for teachers, who is willing to play along with the whole life degree thing, but that\'s your call.</p>\n<p>And even your TEFL certificate sounds like an online one without any observed teaching practice I assume? Tam, go for an interview for a decent job with a life degree and an on-line TEFL certificate and you\'re going to find yourself right at the bottom of the pile I\'m afraid. That\'s if you even get as far as the interview stage. But you already know that.</p>\n<p>I admire your desire and passion to get back out here, but is it for the right reasons and not just because you can\'t stand being back home? You need a plan. OK, you mention studying for a proper degree with the open university and getting a CELTA, but you also mention them as being \'time consuming and expensive\' so I\'m guessing that you\'re not flush with cash right now. So is coming to Thailand really the answer? How much money are you going to put away towards future degree and TEFL certificate study on a 30K salary (possibly the best you can hope for) and with Thailand\'s rising cost of living? It\'s something to think about.</p>\n<p>Perhaps some other teachers might like to leave their comments, particularly if they think there are other options open to you.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>More reading</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"/help-and-guides/articles/talkin-bout-my-situation/\">Have a read of some more \'teacher situations\' from 2012 and 2011</a>.

I can already hear some of the answers now. \"They\'re Thai. They speak Thai. We\'re in Thailand. Duh\"</p>\n<p>Alright let me rephrase the question then. Considering that English has been the international language of tourism and commerce for I don\'t know how many decades now, and there are I don\'t know how many thousands of English teachers all over the country, why is the general level of English so poor?</p>\n<p>Why can\'t even young, supposedly educated college students speak English? Why can\'t the Pratom (primary) teachers at my school, who are supposed to teach every subject, including English, speak English?</p>\n<p>Ok two of them can, but most can\'t, so we have a situation here where Thai English teachers can\'t speak English.</p>\n<h3>Lost opportunity</h3>\n<p>The odd thing about it is that&nbsp;they are required to be in my class to help control the students and presumably to learn English as well, which I am thankful for. But when the class is going smoothly and I don\'t really need any help, the Thai teacher often tunes out my lesson, opting instead to open up his or her&nbsp;laptop and squeeze in a couple games of solitare or log in to Facebook or whatever it is they do.</p>\n<p>Not only does this give students the message that it\'s acceptable to ignore my lesson, but aren\'t the Thai teachers shooting themselves in the foot when they waste a great opportunity to learn English from a native speaker along with their students???!!!</p>\n<h3>Director\'s orders</h3>\n<p>Recently the director of my school called a meeting with all the foreign teachers. The director (who doesn\'t speak English) was ranting and raving (in PasaThai) about how Thailand is trying to catch up to ASEAN standards of English proficiency.</p>\n<p>He instructed all the Thai teachers that they need to use and teach English vocabulary words in all the subjects. At this point I must borrow the phrase I have seen in other articles on this site and say that it would be comical if it weren\'t so tragic.</p>\n<p>I\'m really not trying to put down my school, the teachers, or Thai people in general. Some of the teachers at my school have been teaching for over 30 years, which means they began their careers before I was born.</p>\n<p>I realize that learning English is very difficult and takes a great deal of effort. In some ways it may be \"too late\" for some of the older teachers and older Thai people in general. But like I said, most high school and college students don\'t even speak English.</p>\n<h3>Number crunching</h3>\n<p>Let\'s look at some of the numbers for a typical 16 year old high school student.</p>\n<p>Let\'s say that \"Ploy\" is a 16-year old girl who goes to ABC Government School in XYZ city. She started English classes about 10 years ago in Pratom 1. For the past 10 years she has been going to English class twice a week with a native speaker for 50 to 60 minutes each class. She also has English class twice a week with her Thai teachers, and her math and science classes are taught by Filipino teachers with English being the language of instruction.</p>\n<p>Doing the math on that gives you the following stats - Ploy has had&nbsp;about 700 hours of dedicated English conversation class&nbsp;with a native speaker over the past 10 years. She\'s had another 700 hours of English grammar taught by the Thai teacher, and another 700 hours of science and math classes taught by Filipino teachers.</p>\n<p>So over the last decade,&nbsp;Ploy has had a grand total of&nbsp;2100 hours of classes where English has either been taught directly or at least used as the main&nbsp;language of instruction.</p>\n<p>So of course Ploy can speak English, right? Maybe, maybe not.</p>\n<h3>\"Tuning out\"</h3>\n<p>If Ploy is a good student, and she puts in the effort to learn, and she has had even halfway decent teachers, she probably can speak English. But if she doesn\'t see the need to learn, isn\'t motivated, and she has had mediocre teachers, she has probably been tuning out of&nbsp;English class for the past ten years the same way her Pratom homeroom teachers have been doing for the past thirty.</p>\n<p>So how can we fix this problem?</p>\n<p>I don\'t have all the answers, but I think that Thai people will continue to put in a very small amount of effort as long as they don\'t see any real need to learn English.</p>\n<p>But as ASEAN becomes stronger and more unified, and as the world in general becomes more of a tight-knit community Thailand will soon see they are lagging far behind other countries where many if not most of the citizens actually speak their second language.</p>\n<p><strong>PJ</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2017-08-27 19:29:42',1,'2017-08-27 19:29:42','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(11827,32,'The death of General English','the-death-of-general-english','And if it isn\'t dead, it damn well should be','Students study English with local teachers or native English speakers (NES), or both, but what they\'re ultimately looking at is a textbook, many of which were never published with Asian markets in mind.\n\n','<p>General English?

The fact that too many students can\'t actually use this language in conversation should be setting the alarm bells off, but it doesn\'t when the onus is on the completion of a textbook and &lsquo;guess tests\', hence &lsquo;false\' applying across all levels.</p>\n<p>Yes, there are quite a few schools where NES\'s are required to build on the textbook work that is already being delivered by the local teacher, but all they\'re actually doing is giving students more grammar and no proper conversation.</p>\n<p>And if a student is unable to verbally communicate in any language, then they won\'t retain what they\'re being taught over the mid- to long term.</p>\n<p>This is why illiterate people don\'t become mutes: they have to regularly and actively use their language.</p>\n<p>Hence the rise of international schools, English Programs and after school/weekend tuition, all of which are ideal for the minority of families that can afford them.</p>\n<p>Through my own personal experience and after chatting with other teachers, both off- and online, what I\'m seeing emerging though is an <a href=\"/blogs/geoff-richards/short-and-sweet/\">excellent approach that I referred to in my &lsquo;Short and Sweet\' blog</a>: whereby, skilled local teachers handle the ins and outs of grammar and qualified and experienced NES\'s top it off with listening and conversation.</p>\n<p>And this works infinitely better than ye olde General English.</p>\n<p>RIP</p>\n</p>','','2012-07-24 18:14:46',1,'2012-07-24 18:14:46','2012-07-25 08:08:47'),(11851,108,'TIT - life insurance','tit-life-insurance','Misconceptions about life insurance sold in Thailand','One expat forum contributor claimed that the Thai government was using a tax deduction to get people to buy life insurance that the Thai government knew was overpriced.

They become \"strangers in a strange land.\" I get reminded of this constantly by some of the letters I receive and some of the questions expats ask me.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Recently, I was asked about life insurance in Thailand. I responded; and then got a reply back talking bad about life insurance here and how much more costly it is than in Europe.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>I have since spotted a couple of expat forum threads that take the same approach. One writer even claimed that the Thai government was using a tax deduction to get people to buy life insurance that the Thai government knew was overpriced. Strangers in a strange land can really say some stupid things on these forums.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The truth is that this same kind of \"high cost\" life insurance is also available in Europe and the U.S.A. The kinds of life insurance that Thai people like to buy are called endowment plans - savings plans purchased through life insurance companies. As a rule, Thais don\'t buy life insurance to provide low-cost death protection; they buy it for building up savings.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The life insurance industry must have a pretty strong lobby; because now, the government offers a decent tax-break to buyers of life insurance. This is to encourage Thai people to build up savings. Life insurance billing is a way of forcing insureds to maintain their savings program.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Many, many years go, some life insurance companies tried to market \"death benefit\" life insurance in Thailand. They weren\'t successful and had to leave, because the idea of providing financial security for loved-ones, if the family financial provider should die, didn\'t appeal to Thais.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>This is Asia. In Asia, the extended-family steps in to provide the care and financial support required for family members in need. Why then should anyone spend money to provide financial security for their family when their extended family will step-in and do that?</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">About 70 years ago, a company that had been successful promoting the savings plan aspect of life insurance to the Chinese ended up in Thailand after being asked to leave China by the Communists. Their focus on savings plan marketing, rather than death benefit, caught on here also. Now there are more than 26 life insurance companies here focusing their marketing efforts on the saving program aspect of life insurance, with little concern for low cost death benefits.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Yes, life insurance is more costly in Thailand. That is because the focus is on cash build-up, not death. Remember, this is Thailand, where cultural priorities and concerns are often quite different from those in the West.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Something else you should be aware of about life insurance in Thailand is that everyone seems to have a friend or relative selling it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Many life insurers also sell health insurance; but, among these companies, many can only sell it as a rider on a life insurance policy. Life insurance companies are regulated by the government differently because their focus is on offering a financial product.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Non-life insurance companies are called <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>general insurance</span></a> companies.

His name was Salrich. When his director told him to beautify a 90-metre long concrete school-wall, Salrich hesitated for a moment. It was a huge undertaking.\n\n','<p>Besides teaching English to Thai students to develop their proficiency, what else do you do to achieve a fulfilling moment in Thailand? Are you merely content with just doing the things stipulated in your contract? Will you leave a legacy? Or will you vanish without trace - without leaving your mark?</p>\n<p>One Filipino teacher I knew and admired so much did something great for his school. His name was Salrich. When his director told him to beautify a 90-metre long concrete school-wall, Salrich hesitated for a moment. It was a huge undertaking.</p>\n<p>After second thoughts, his belief that nothing was impossible when people put their hearts and minds into something, gave him the inspiration. Salrich got the idea to cover the wall with murals showing students, teachers and school activities. He had the artistic talent to draw outlines of all the scenes on paper, but he would need lots of supplies and many helpers to help paint the scenes. So he needed to raise money to make this beautiful project possible.</p>\n<p>He said he knew very well that the school could not afford to finance the project. Certain teachers and staff already had their own ways to raise money. The teacher in charge of the store had to buy all sorts of things to raise money, the school cook had to sell food during breakfast, the kindergarten teachers sold snacks after school, and the students sold recycled things. In fact, the school even used a borrowed sound system during the morning flag ceremony.</p>\n<p>The school was completely reliant on donations and handouts. One year, concerned students from the International School of Bangkok (ISB), some American teachers and their American friends donated two air-conditioning units for the library.</p>\n<p>Although lack of money was Salrich\'s big problem, this did not dampen his spirit. But he couldn\'t spend his own money on the project. It was time to start organizing some collections. Salrioch already had experience of raising funds in a short time period. Once, a newly-ordained Thai Catholic priest from Chiang Rai sought assistance from church parishioners in Bangkok. Touched by the priest\'s cause, Salrich helped. In just two weeks he was able to raise 5,000 baht just from contacting friends by e-mail..</p>\n<p>For the school project, Salrich turned for help once more from close friends, from English volunteers helping in his school, and from the Make a Difference Club (MAD) students of ISB. He was lucky enough to raise more than 8,000 baht to buy the materials needed.</p>\n<p>Salrich did not have a hand in the painting of the murals though. According to him, he recruited several dozen student artists of the school, parents, teachers and donors - anyone with a flair or an enthusiasm for painting the wall. All you needed in most cases was the ability to pick up a paintbrush!</p>\n<p>With such a large number of volunteers, the painting was finished in two days. Salrich stood back and admired the work. And even now, if you visit his school, you will see the murals there - like huge paintings in a gallery. They have been there for nearly three years now and even survived the great Thai floods of last year.</p>\n<p>Through Salrich\'s experience, I am convinced that foreign generosity as well as Thai helpfulness comes together when there is a good cause. In addition to this, things that are seemingly impossible are not far from becoming possible especially when people with generous hearts are present. Thus, whenever we are confronted with challenging opportunities, like Salrich was, we should never be discouraged. Let optimism work because there are always eager hands to help.</p>\n<p>Salrich\'s story is worthy of praise. He made a big difference. May there be more Salrichs in this world.</p>','','2012-08-05 07:48:57',1,'2012-08-05 07:48:57','2012-08-05 21:09:58'),(11868,32,'Magazines with class part two','magazines-with-class-part-two','What I\'ve learned from a school magazine project','What has topped it all off for me is the surprising ease that this potentially challenging project (getting students to produce a school magazine) has been thus far.','<p>Well, I\'ve been going through a truly interesting and thoroughly enjoyable learning curve <a href=\"/blogs/geoff-richards/magazines-with-class/\">since I last&nbsp;blogged on this subject</a>.\n<p>And what has topped it all off for me is the surprising ease this potentially challenging project has been thus far.</p>\n<h3>Here\'s what I learned from issue #1.</h3>\n<p>Full colour publications are the only way to go.

The same attitude that hinders them in business allows them to be happily content with life, whereas it\'s our work ethic that erodes at our physical and emotional well being. ','<p>It\'s a dog eat dog world out there and sometimes good things don\'t always happen to good people. In general, we have a tough time understanding why this is so, but many cultures have different ways to shrug of the stress of unfairness.</p>\n<p>In Swahili, people say \"Hakuna Matata\" meaning \"No Worries\". In French, \"C\'est La Vie\" translating to \"That\'s life!\". In Italian, \"La merda succede\" which means \"Shit Happens!\" . In Thailand, people say \"Mai Bpen Lai\" which literally translates to \"Don\'t worry about it\".</p>\n<h3>\'Wonderful attitude\'</h3>\n<p>In Thailand, people here are SO easygoing. No one is ever in a rush, everyone trusts each other, it is rare to see anyone actually get mad at anything and people just seem generally relaxed. What a wonderful attitude - if we had that attitude in the West, imagine how much more content we could all just be.</p>\n<p>Over here, when something bad happens, everyone says \"Mai Bpen Lai\". If someone takes your parking spot...\"Mai Bpen Lai\". Even if someone dies... just shrug and say \"Mai Bpen Lai\".</p>\n<p>It\'s a great attitude because it keeps them so happy. People here are always just shrugging of the negatives of life. It sounds amazing, right?</p>\n<p>But on the flip side, is it that complacent attitude that keeps Thailand a developing country? When business deals go awry - \"Mai Bpen Lai\". When people are charged with corruption - \"Mai Bpen Lai\". When a crappy school system is accepted and not challenged - \"Mai Bpen Lai\".</p>\n<h3>A fresh start</h3>\n<p>I moved to Thailand looking for a radical change - I wanted to belong to a world that didn\'t need material things to make them happy. I wanted to see people who truly appreciated the simple things. I definitely got the eye-opener that was needed, but rather than supporting my negative view towards our \"serious\" attitudes in the west, I found myself actually..... appreciating them!</p>\n<p>There are no doubts many positives to having such a laid back attitude. It must be so refreshing and relaxing to be able to just take a deep breath, say \"No Worries\" and not be controlled by the negatives. I wish I could say I was that zenned out, but I still have such a long way to go.</p>\n<p>If someone were to cut in front of me at Taco Bell and then place an order for the last Cheesy Gordita Crunch, I\'d like to tell you guys that I have enough peace in me to just breath and say \"Mai Bpen Lai\", but the truth is I\'d go ape shit crazy on the dude and probably steal his gordita after throwing hot sauce at him.</p>\n<h3>Things get done</h3>\n<p>And that\'s our society. We have road rage, anger management, arbitration, suing, law suits, custody battles... in the west, we are always rushed, stressed and irritable (or so the stereotype goes). We worry too much. But that sense of urgency to get stuff done (everything from business deals to personal errands) ensures exactly that - shit gets done!</p>\n<p>The international community, business partners and colleagues who rely on us expect us to deliver on our promises. When things don\'t get done, it\'s not ok to just say \"that\'s life\". There are reports to file, things to fix and management-ass to kiss. We have to guarantee the same mistake never happens again. We have to do even better at everything around us so people don\'t lose faith in our ability.</p>\n<p>This creates more stress because we are wholly accountable for our actions and whether we succeed (as individuals or as a nation) depends on us. It is because of this work ethic that the west prospers.</p>\n<p>It\'s just interesting to note that it is the relaxed attitude that keeps the East \"developing\" while it\'s our go-go attitude that makes us \"prosperous\". The same attitude that hinders them in business allows them to be happily content with life, whereas it\'s our work ethic that erodes at our physical and emotional well being.</p>\n<p>We create lives of luxury, but we\'re not happy. They\'re happy, but they don\'t have the attitude to work for a life of luxury. The quest to find the equilibrium is one that fascinates me.</p>\n<p>This is one of my favourite quotes from the Dalai Lama when he was asked what surprised him the most about human nature:<br /><em>\"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.\"</em></p>\n<p>Of course, we should try and adopt the good part of the eastern philosophy but what I\'ve come to question is whether it is possible for us to ever truly get the best of both worlds.</p>\n<p>We seem to always be in an internal struggle to balance our lives. Is there any way we can have it all.... Can we live in a materialistic world but still find inner peace?</p>','','2017-10-31 20:24:28',1,'2017-10-31 20:24:28','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(11892,32,'Small talk with big results','small-talk-with-big-results','The art of teaching English forwards','\"Hi, how are you?\" \"I\'m fine thank you, and you?\" \"I\'m fine thank you.\" Now, where have we all seen and heard this longwinded, nigh on nonsensical way of communicating before?\n\n','<p>I\'ve known two people in my life that had to attend speech therapy: one who had developed a terrible stutter as a result of a medication that he had to take, the other who had brain damage after a major road accident.

Finally. After three terms it was time to say goodbye to Udon Thani, the vocational college and the Isaan region and to say hello to Bangkok and a private university. As mentioned in my last&nbsp;blog and many of my&nbsp;blogs on my own website: I will miss all of my students and appreciate every moment spent with them. Having that said I promise that\'s all of the corniness for today. Time to focus on new things. Time for Bangkok Cityyyyyyyyy (Da Endorphine style).</p>\n<h3>No shirt no service.</h3>\n<p>The first thing that changed significantly in my new job: The dress code. Finally I can (have to) get rid of those colorful shirts I had to wear at &lsquo;R-Chee Wa\' all the time. Here at our (private) uni it\'s like we\'re used to it from the business world. Shirt, Tie, Suit. Nice! Makes the whole thing way more professional.</p>\n<p>The students however do look a little different. While the focus on &lsquo;correct\' outfits is high with first year students, most Ajarns don\'t say anything if a senior students dress a little more inappropriate (welcome to the &lsquo;my skirt is shorter\' contest). I sometimes feel a little puzzled when I see students dressing up like this since I think the focus at Uni should be studies and not the sexy outfit (man, I\'m getting old) but as long as it\'s within the rules everybody has the right to feel happy. No problem with that.</p>\n<p>The overall atmosphere here is, of course, completely different compared to the poor governmental college where I started my Thailand teaching experience. A/C in every room, projectors, staff who copies my stuff for me and prepares classrooms.... Probably nothing new for you guys in international high schools - for me, it\'s awesome.</p>\n<h3>Poot pasat angrit: dai!</h3>\n<p>Alright. I work at an international college now. You expect people to speak English. Of course. However, having worked with English teachers who didn\'t speak English, I was a little sceptic at first. Everybody here speaks English though and that makes the daily life a whole lot easier.</p>\n<p>When I was in Udon everybody said that students in Bangkok can speak better English than most Isan students. And well, yeah, you might come across more people who speak English. However that\'s because of Bangkok\'s size. There are simply more people and more tourists who influence them. When looking at my students: Sure, many can speak English (It\'s a Uni here, everybody attending Uni should speak some English!) but still a lot of them struggle. A lot. Taking into account that usually only students attend the international college who are aiming on doing something, tada, international, it is quite surprising to see so many students with English problems.</p>\n<h3>Let\'s go inteeeeeeeeeeer</h3>\n<p>Thailand is always crazy about doing something &lsquo;international\'. They call every conference, meeting or get together &lsquo;international whatever\' (right now only matched by &lsquo;ASEAN whatevers\'). Our international college however actually deserves its name and it\'s pretty cool to work with so many different students from different cultures. Right now I\'m teaching students from the States, Europe, Africa and Asia. It\'s a lot of fun and forces me to always come up with new teaching ideas and to use different approaches.</p>\n<h3>All that glitters is not gold</h3>\n<p>Alright. I talked a lot about the differences and about how cool it is to work with people who actually speak English and to have real teaching facilities and modern technology to help my teaching. Like always, however, not all that glitters is gold. Even though it is an international college here, the organization and ways off how things work are still Thai.</p>\n<p>Even though everything appears professional and international the &lsquo;Thai style\' of tackling (or not tackling) problems and getting things done remains. Everything happens slowly and only after asking again and again and again. But, as we all know, that\'s simply the way it works here so there\'s no need to complain about that. Sabai sabai.</p>\n<h3>The hardest part</h3>\n<p>Is letting go, not taking part. I admit, credit for those words doesn\'t belong to me but it shows somehow a huge difference between the teaching approaches. At the college in Udon I was more than &lsquo;just\' a teacher. Everything was more personal. This might have been rooted in the fact that other teachers also did this in some way or that it was my first teaching job but I took everything more personal. The problems of each student became mine and I tried to solve them by all means necessary.</p>\n<p>(And yes, I know that one of the first things you learn when doing your teacher license is not to take things to personal and not to take them home with you.)</p>\n<p>Here at uni it is, of course, different. More students, older students, more professional. There\'s no time to and need to always be there for them. Furthermore classes are way more professional. While I tried in Udon to get the biggest part of the class to understand what I\'m teaching at uni the focus is more on make them understand how to understand and how solve problems on their own.</p>\n<p>After all I have to say that the step to a teaching life at Uni was, right now, the right decision. My teaching approaches change and, at least I hope, are getting a lot better. However, as mentioned in the beginning, I\'m still happy about my past experience and think it helped me a lot to understand some basic student problems.</p>\n<p>This was now kind of a short intro to my new work. I tried to keep it a little more formal than my usual blog posts on my own website. However that won\'t stay this way. Next time I\'ll be back with more personal insights and thoughts.

But one of my most noticeable new traits is going to be a hard habit to break. Thailand has made me cheap. Like real cheap. So cheap that I am not sure if I will be able to enter the Western world again and not feel anxiety when spending 10 dollars on a meal. The baht has turned this girl who never really cared about budgets or sales into an expert haggler with less desire for material things. Okay, so maybe this is a good thing...</p>\n<p>I just got back from a wonderful honeymoon on the island of Koh Phangan. It was a really amazing two weeks and we really enjoyed ourselves but we did it on a budget. We had a very simple wedding and stayed in budget, yet cute, places everywhere we went. We didn\'t go on any fun tours or go shopping. We didn\'t even really drink minus some champagne and a bottle of vodka we bought at Big C and brought with us. Yet somehow, between the wedding, travel and everything, we spent about 2,000 US dollars. That\'s a lot of money to me. A LOT. More than I make in a month. And we did everything on the cheap.</p>\n<p>It turns out Thailand is not so cheap for a vacation if you\'re&nbsp;earning&nbsp;the local&nbsp;currency. I tried to enjoy my vacation, and I did, but every time I had a coke and it was double the price I would spend at 7/11, I died a little bit inside.</p>\n<p>Before coming to Thailand, I never thought it would be expensive here. After traveling in Vietnam, we arrived and I was aghast at our first night\'s attempts to find a cheap place to stay and all the while&nbsp;comparing the room prices here&nbsp;to what you would get in Vietnam. It was much more, or much less in our case (a lumpy mattress next to a&nbsp;pumping&nbsp;nightclub for more than a cute bungalow on the beach, seriously!?)</p>\n<p>Yeah you can live cheaply in Thailand, many people do it, including me now. But it is almost more common for people to live much like they do in my home country, paying the same prices and living a very materialistic lifestyle.</p>\n<p>The current exchange rate for the US dollar to the Thai Baht is about 30 baht to the dollar. So for example, most meals I buy during my busy work week are about 30-40 baht. That\'s just awesome. Anytime I want a western treat I usually have to cough up at least 150 baht (which is like normal US prices, granted) but when you\'re paying those prices in Thailand, it just doesn\'t feel right. You can even go to a trendy Thai restaurant and spend western prices for a Thai meal, its all up to you. That is the beauty of it - you can choose to live cheaply, but any luxuries will cost you. Everything is relative I suppose.</p>\n<p>My wise friend, who has lived in Thailand for many years, gave me this advice when I got my first paycheck and I&nbsp;was like \"but it\'s only 20 bucks!\"&nbsp;My friend&nbsp;reminded me I&nbsp;was no longer getting paid in dollars so instead of thinking \"wow, this is so cheap\" in dollars, think \"man, that is a good portion of my paycheck.\" It has helped me spend a lot less here and turned me into the thrifty consumer I am today. The concept of money and values is totally skewed in my head and what used to seem like a small amount, now translated into baht is a huge sum I hate to part with.</p>\n<p>The baht also does not travel well. When I want to travel around other countries in SE Asia it is fine, but just a one-way ticket back to my home country costs one months paycheck. I save about 800 USD every month, which is the most I have ever been able to save but I know that when I go home, those pathetic savings will go pretty quick when it comes to setting up a life in the \"real world.\" It is&nbsp;an eye-opener&nbsp;to know that it is possible to live here&nbsp;on so little and bit depressing to know I can\'t do it back home as well.</p>\n<p>Thailand may have a reputation for being a cheap country to travel in, and it is if you do it right and are coming in with a stronger currency to back you up. Living and working here are a different story though&nbsp;and while you can save a lot, you have to learn how to live cheaply, stop converting back&nbsp;into your home currency when shopping and try not to spend all your money at 7/11.

The basic policy terms and conditions of most health insurance sold here are pretty much the same, whether sold by AIA, Luma, Pacific Cross, Aetna, or other health insurance companies.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">What I am referring to are the <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>insurance companies</span></a> that are actually housed in Thailand and are required to market their product under the rules of Thailand. Bupa is an example.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Aetna is a well known international insurance company. But, they also have offices in Australia, New Zealand, India and many other countries, as well as Thailand. The insurance marketed out of these offices is regulated by the insurance rules of those countries. Therefore, their product may differ in accordance with the rules of the country they are housed in.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Health insurance in Thailand is regulated under two separate sets of rules: Rules for health insurance marketed by life insurance companies, and rules for health insurance marketed by general insurance companies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Agents need to pass a separate test to be able to represent either type of insurance company.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Life insurance companies generally market health insurance as a rider to a life insurance policy. Otherwise, health insurance is marketed by health insurance companies as a separate product. As a rule, this form of stand-alone health insurance can provide higher coverage and offer more options for budget shopping. There are some similarities, though. For one thing, you must have an address in Thailand to purchase it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>You can not purchase 100% coverage for daily room &amp; board, you must choose a plan that provides the R &amp; B coverage that you want, or expect to have to pay the difference if you get hospitalized.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you want a routine check up or <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/blog/2017/11/14/vaccinations-thailand-list-inoculations/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>get a vaccination</span></a>, you have to pay for it yourself. For the most part, health insurance in Thailand doesn\'t provide any kind of \"Wellness\" benefit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In terms of general exclusions, you don\'t need to shop around comparing policy general exclusions. Most health insurance plans in Thailand have the same set of general exclusions.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, you don\'t need to look around for insurance plans that cover medical treatment for motorcycle accidents; they all provide full medical coverage up to the normal limits of the policy you purchase. (That they don\'t is a popular myth often found in forums).</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Health insurance sold in Thailand does not provide coverage for pre-existing conditions. They will exclude coverage for the pre-existing conditions. But will provide coverage for everything else if the pre-existing conditions are not too serious.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Be aware that insurance companies often have difficulty finding competent English speaking staff to deal with their expatriate clientele. Even staff that speak passable English are often hesitant about speaking English with expats.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>They often just want to get the process over with as quickly as possible and will just say what they think that you want to hear. This process is called \'greng jai\'. It is considered to be a form of politeness in Thailand.

Teachers and students deserve better than that.','<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve10.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>One of the things I like to do during the first week of a new course is have the students write a letter to me. I say to them that you are not just students, you are people; and as people I want to get to know you better. So I draw a blank letter page on the board and write the following:</p>\n<p><strong>Tell me about yourself:</strong></p>\n<p>Hobbies<br />Family<br />Future/present job<br />Hopes/dreams<br />Plans for the future<br />Why are you studying English?<br />What do you expect from this class?</p>\n<p>Obviously there are variations of this exercise depending on the age of the students. While all of these aspects of one\'s life are important, I like to focus on the last two for adults, and the last three for children and adolescents. Education, especially ESL, is primarily about the future, and there should be specific reasons why each student is taking an English class. \"I\'m here because my mommy and daddy told me to\" is fine for the boy or girl who writes this, but as a teacher I need to know exactly what they will do with the English they are taught. I\'ve said this before: An effective teacher teaches today, but does not teach for today.</p>\n<p>So when writing their letter to me, I tell my students to be specific. I tell them to focus on what they need, not on what they want. I am not concerned with what they want; I am, however, very concerned about what they need. They may want more fun and games; they may want me to spoon feed them by writing all the grammar rules on the board even though it\'s in the book; they may want more listening and grammar; but, in the end, an effective teacher must give the students what they need. A student who says \"I need to improve my English speaking ability because sometimes I travel overseas to meet with clients\" is being very specific and has a good reason to be in my class. I can certainly help that person.</p>\n<p>Now I do admit that this letter writing exercise is a \"fancy-ass\" way of assessing the needs of the students. Fair enough. And the truth be known, it does cover the teacher\'s bottom especially during the last week of class when I hand out another sheet of paper and ask the students two questions:</p>\n<p>1) Did this class meet your expectations?<br />2) What did you learn from taking this class? Be specific by giving examples.</p>\n<p>Notice I used the term \"this class\"? Not, did I meet your expectations? Not, what did you learn from me? The focus is on the class; not the teacher.</p>\n<p>What I find absolutely maddening are school directors, school owners, principals, vice-principals, education consultants, and ESL trainers who tell teachers that we need more \"student-centered\" classes where students take responsibility for their English language learning. \"Don\'t focus on your teaching\", these education trainers say at TESOL conferences; \"focus on the students\' learning. Don\'t tell me what you taught; tell me what the students learned.\"</p>\n<p>Great! Fantastic! I love it! More, more! The thing is when a student complains for whatever reason, (the class is too difficult; grammar is boring; the people on the CD speak too fast, the teacher is too strict, the teacher is not fun...), BANG! The teacher gets called into the office and has the spotlight on him. All of a sudden the students are not responsible for their learning. All of a sudden we\'re focusing on teaching, not learning.</p>\n<p>I have seen this happen time and again at different schools and in different countries. The reason this happens is simple: No leadership at the top. This lack of leadership by ESL trainers or education consultants coupled with a fundamental incompetence of those above them is a recipe for disaster. It makes for paranoid and frustrated teachers and disappointed students. Those running the daily operations of the school and the owners above them seem to think only for today, or at most, term to term. How do we make and keep the students happy so that they will sign up for the next level? This short-term thinking is one of the things that is killing education and ruining the lives of so many students. I would think that those students who are serious about learning would become very happy once they realize how much they are learning. If we are going to take their money, then the least we can do for them is provide a service from educators who are capable of looking beyond today.</p>\n<p>I left Cambodia in July 2012 after living there for a year and a half and teaching at an English language school for 15 months. It didn\'t take me very long to realize that Cambodia has a very long way to go before its educational establishment reaches anything resembling the 21st century. The same can be said for Thailand. <br />I\'m not speaking specifically here about government corruption or stifling poverty or child prostitution, although they are huge problems that must be overcome before Cambodia becomes economically prosperous. I speak specifically about those in the educational establishment (both Khmer and foreigners) who, for reasons of their own, are sabotaging all efforts to improve the system by ignoring the obvious.</p>\n<p>Two recent examples from interviews come to mind, though there have been countless similar examples in my teaching career. My first interview was at an \"international\" school. Those who have spent any quality time in Phnom Penh know that there are only two, maybe three real international schools in Cambodia. The rest simply love to use the word \"international\" in the company name. The assistant director at this school, a Khmer, was looking for a foreigner to create curricula for K-12. It sounded like a new challenge and was something I had been looking for.</p>\n<p>During the interview he took me to a group of computers and told me to create curricula for grades 7-12. I looked at him a bit puzzled. \"This could take a while,\" I said.</p>\n<p>\"It\'s okay,\" he replied. \"I give you 20 minutes.\"</p>\n<p>\"Twenty minutes to create curricula for six grades?\" He nodded yes. \"You don\'t mean a lesson plan, do you, because that\'s different? You mean curricula for six grades complete with teaching methodology, scheduling, testing strategy, teaching and learning objectives...\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes,\" he said.</p>\n<p>\"I\'ll do it at home,\" I told him. \"I have a computer in my room so I\'m more comfortable doing this at home.\" That was my way of telling him to piss off.</p>\n<p>This Khmer assistant director gave me his email address and told me to create curricula from K-12, (13 grades), and told me to email to him by 4:00 that afternoon. I said, yes no problem, and then walked out. I put this ridiculous experience on my Facebook page much to the consternation of a couple of Khmer teachers who took issue with it. However, a Canadian teacher and author, and someone who helped to create curricula for the Ontario public schools herself, left a message on my Facebook page saying how absurd it all was. Creating curricula is done in groups, she said, and it takes months of writing and revising.</p>\n<p>The second example was far more disturbing since the \"expert-in-charge\" was a Westerner. Let\'s call him Mr. Education Consultant since that\'s what he called himself when we met. (Not the \"Mr.\" Just the \"Education Consultant\" part). While sitting in Mr. Education Consultant\'s office in a nice suburb of Phnom Penh, I talked about my educational philosophy. I consider myself a serious teacher, I began; education first and foremost. I give students what they need.</p>\n<p>We give students what they need too, Mr. Education Consultant replied, but we wrap it in what they want. The main thing is to keep them happy.</p>\n<p>Ah, here we go. Keep them happy. That\'s what I was waiting to hear. I hope that this school is not like most of the others, I said, where something called \"edutainment\" is elevated above any attempt at genuine teaching and learning.</p>\n<p>Anyone in the room at the time would have thought that I had just called Mr. Education Consultant the vilest of names. He put his hand on his hip and leaned over as if to scold me for questioning his expertise. It was quite a sight and at that moment I knew I would not last very long at this ESL Bar and Grill.</p>\n<p>In one of my classes was a nurse in her 20\'s. She couldn\'t have been making much money, I reminded Mr. Education Consultant. In fact, in her letter to me she wrote that her dream was to help her aging and financially poor parents by learning English. That way, she could earn more money and buy a house for them. That\'s a wonderful goal and one well worth pursuing. These are the students I will go to the end of the earth for. This is why it is vitally important to put the games aside and focus on education. But Mr. Education Consultant would have none of my educational philosophy. Keep the students happy and act like a more dynamic teacher is what he and so many others are looking for.</p>\n<p>It is easy to see why this dumb educational philosophy has taken such a strong stranglehold over the whole TEFL industry. For starters, in Asia foreigners like Mr. Education Consultant are scared. For the most part, they are male, middle-age, maybe experiencing a mid-life crisis, sick of living in the country of their birth, mostly married or involved with a local and her family, and living out a fantasy they cannot get at home. These men want to remain in Thailand or Cambodia or Vietnam where the living is cheap and easy. And hey, if bamboozling the locals into thinking they are actually learning English keeps them there, all the better. The educational incompetence of many of the locals like the assistant director in my first example simply paves the way for educational charlatans like Mr. Education Consultant who just deign to keep the students happy.</p>\n<p>Also, this mindless educational philosophy of keeping the students happy is an extension of contemporary society where Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter rule the day. It\'s easy to turn the daylight hours of student life into a circus when at 5:00 most of those very same students (and teachers and ESL trainers and education consultants) go home to amuse themselves to death on Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. The need for ESL trainers and education consultants to train teachers properly, to work with their students so that they focus, concentrate, and study for exams becomes, for them, a useless exercise in a society where people are too busy watching cats dance on Youtube and downloading lesbian porn. Who has time for the rigors of education when there are 72 pictures of what you had for lunch to upload to your Facebook page? I am not blaming Facebook and Youtube for the decline of education; I am blaming everyone involved in education that have simply thrown up their hands and have given in to any pressure to join the lowest common denominator.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve11.gif\" /></p>\n<p>Say what you want about people like Mr. Education Consultant, but he has certainly read his Huxley. These education consultants and ESL trainers may not be deep thinkers, but they are fully aware that, in the words of British novelist J.D. Ballard, \"Brave New World is a far shrewder guess at the likely shape of a future tyranny than Orwell\'s vision of Stalinist terror in Nineteen Eighty-Four.... Nineteen Eighty-Four has never really arrived, but Brave New World is around us everywhere.\"</p>\n<p>Huxley knew of \"man\'s almost infinite appetite for distractions\" and so do ESL trainers and education consultants. As Neil Postman describes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, \"Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us.\" So give the students what they love, keep them happy, and fool them into thinking that they are learning. Turn the classroom into a Huxlean version of a hedonistic circus and ruin the futures of thousands of students so that you can continue to live on the cheap in Southeast Asia. To think that one can change the lives of financially poor students by keeping them happy in the classroom is tantamount to believing that a small group of dissidents can overthrow dictatorial regimes by simply cracking jokes about Fidel Castro and playing \"Pin the Tail on Kim Jong-Il.\" Education is far too important to leave to these amateur trainers who spend most of their time fooling people in the light of day and fumbling around in the dark of night desperately searching for the light switch to educational leadership.</p>\n<p>It has become platitude to suggest that there is no substitute for hard work. It has now become old-fashioned to advise students to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Traditional teachers are now seen as suspect and out-of-place if they dare try to teach their students what they need to know to compete in an ever increasing competitive work environment. Notions like hard-work, determination, and loyalty to a craft are now seen as quaint. The truth is ESL trainers and people like Mr. Education Consultant have no inkling as to how to improve education, or an innovative idea in their head. They are willing to tell students anything to get their business--- anything but an inconvenient truth. Here is one such inconvenient truth:</p>\n<p>In his book The Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell claims that it takes the average person around 10,000 hours to become proficient at anything; whether learning to play a musical instrument or learning to speak a second language, people must spend large amounts of their time and put in tremendous effort to master a specific skill. Gladwell calls this the 10,000 Hour Rule. Whether or not we agree (perhaps for some people it may take around 8,000 hours to learn to speak English proficiently, while for others it may take 12,000 hours), the truth is, the vast majority of students must work very hard, both in school and at home, at learning to listen, speak, read, and write English if they hope to master the language with any proficiency. Now let\'s do some math.</p>\n<p>Say that student \'A\' is studying for five hours a week at the Happy-Go-Lucky English Language Institute (where all the students are happy and lucky!) To reach Gladwell\'s 10,000 hours, student \'A\' would have to study English for 2,000 weeks or 500 months or 41.66 years.</p>\n<p>Now I am not suggesting that teachers walk into class and tell their students that it will take most of them 40 years to learn English. But it\'s easy to see why this industry is in the state that it\'s in. It\'s easy to understand why ESL trainers and education consultants tell prospective teachers to play it safe, give the students what they want, and, above all, keep them happy. It\'s easy to see why this industry is full of charlatans and liars. They are like Jack Nicholson in \"A Few Good Men\" who angrily shouted at Tom Cruise\'s character in the courtroom, \"YOU CAN\'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!\" They truly believe that if they coddle the students, spoon-feed them, and treat them like children, the educational establishment would improve. And who knows, the students might even like us more.</p>\n<p>That\'s as insulting as it is stupid. It says much more about the insecurity of those foreigners involved in this industry than it can ever say about the students these foreign \"experts\" claim to be teaching. To think that students can\'t handle a simple universal truth like study hard to get good grades is the epitome of ignorance and the height of arrogance. It\'s to assume that the students are too stupid to appreciate the truth; it\'s to give the students far less credit than they deserve. And what students deserve is the truth. THE STUDENTS CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH! The students need to know that their English teachers are in the room working for a better future for the students, not just their own paycheck. The students deserve leaders in the classroom with big, bold ideas; educational ideas based on universal values that first and foremost will improve their lives.</p>\n<p>With that in mind, I have come up with eight objectives or habits, an eight point plan, (call them what you will), that each English language school must have and practice.</p>\n<p>--- Leadership at the top and at all levels<br />--- An organized, well balanced, and structured curriculum<br />--- Clear and concise objectives for the teachers and students<br />--- And effective and efficient pedagogy <br />--- An effective strategy for the success of the teachers and students<br />--- Various learning exercises to facilitate understanding<br />--- Dedicated educators who are process driven and results oriented<br />--- An endgame</p>\n<p>Let me make one thing crystal clear. Everyone associated with the school, from the owner and director of studies, to the education consultants and trainers, to the administrators, to the teachers and students, to the janitor who cleans the toilets; EVERYONE must agree that the school have these eight objectives and work together to implement them as smoothly and effectively as possible. And most important, the principal or director of studies must stand by their serious and dedicated teachers while the curriculum and pedagogy is being implemented.</p>\n<p>Each course, whether it\'s a 10 week 60 hour part-time course or a 20 week 120 hour full-time course, must have an endgame. By an endgame I mean something that allows each student to achieve results. This could be in the form of traditional endgames, a mid-term test and a final exam; in the form of a non-traditional endgame, class presentations, role-play exercises, or speeches; or a creative combination of both. The fact is that students need an endgame. They have a right to know how well (or poorly) they are doing. This is primarily how they will be evaluated. Courses without an endgame will be seen by the students and teacher as a joke, and will end up being treated as such.</p>\n<p>In my eight point plan to improve the quality of English language education I use the term \'effective\' in relation to developing curricula, implementing pedagogy, and creating a strategy for success. There is a reason for that. First, here are four definitions of the word \'efficient\' from www.dictionary.reference.com.</p>\n<p>1. adequate to accomplish a purpose; producing the intended or expected result: effective teaching methods; effective steps toward peace. <br />2. actually in operation or in force; functioning: The law becomes effective at midnight. <br />3. Producing a deep or vivid impression; striking: an effective photograph. <br />4. Prepared and available for service, especially military service.</p>\n<p>Notice the fourth definition. That\'s because the word \'effective\' originates from the Latin \'effectivus\' which has a military connotation. Teachers, who are effective, know exactly what they are doing and implement their strategy for success with pin-point accuracy and precision. <br />Strategy is another word I like to use when it comes to education and effective teaching. The word \'strategy\' also has a military connotation as in this definition from www.dictionary.reference.com. \"STRATEGY IS the utilization, during both peace and war, of all of a nation\'s forces, through large-scale, long-range planning and development, to ensure security or victory.\"</p>\n<p>And this definition from the same website:</p>\n<p>\"A plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result: a strategy for getting ahead in the world.\"</p>\n<p>Lest those who lack reading comprehension skills conclude that I walk into class in full military sartorial splendor barking out orders like a drill sergeant, they would be wrong. But I am prepared. And I walk into each class with a plan: A lesson plan, a weekly plan, and a monthly plan. Let\'s look at the words that accompany these definitions: \'Accomplish\', \'Purpose\', \'Effective\', \'Prepared\', \'Plan\', \'Strategy\', \'Result.\' These words seem foreign to those Western ESL trainers and education consultants who have no other purpose but to keep the students happy. Having an effective strategy means knowing where your students should be at every moment of the school term.</p>\n<p>The subtitle of this blog is \"Amusing the Students to Death.\" I chose that for a reason. Asymmetrical means without symmetry. Amoral means without morals. Amuse means without muse. What is muse? To muse is to think; more than that, to muse is to ponder, to think deeply. When we focus on amusing our students we are telling them not to think. We are telling them its okay not to ponder, not to deeply think about life and its attendant problems. This is as unacceptable as it is unforgivable. To tacitly tell students to forego their right to develop their rational faculties in exchange for fun and games is anathema to the whole concept and importance of education. It is to fail the students miserably. It is to rob the students of their future. Foreign ESL trainers and education consultants living the good life in Southeast Asia: English education is about the student\'s future, not yours. <br /><br />It is worth noting that this school where Mr. Education Consultant reigned was only six months old; a brand new ESL establishment in a swanky new building complete with air-conditioned classrooms and young smiling receptionists. It is also worth noting that after the first six months, this school went from having 120 students to retaining but 60 of them. Many of the ESL teachers that were there for the first six months were also gone. I was told by the former principal of that school, (she was let go after six months), that some of the teachers came to class drunk, stoned, or hung-over; if they bothered to show up to class at all. This is what happens when you don\'t focus on education. This is what happens when the locals are so educationally incompetent that they can\'t tell the difference between serious educators who have the best interest of the students at heart, and educational charlatans whose main concern is to keep the students happy. This is what happens when tried and true educational characteristics such as hard work, dedication, commitment, and teaching students to take responsibility for their own destiny are replaced with foreign ESL trainers and education consultants who worship at the altar of Bozo the Clown.</p>\n<p>Countless other schools all across Asia--- from Thailand and Cambodia to Korea and Japan--- constantly lose students due to a failed educational policy that would have students focus more on their feelings than on their future. Far too many foreigners in the TEFL industry, especially ESL trainers and education consultants, have become paralyzed by their overwhelming desire to be loved. Maybe it was something lacking in their childhood, I don\'t know. This paralysis has prevented many of them from developing the courage to lead and to turn their students into future leaders so that these students can eventually lead their nation into future prosperity. In the end, this whole industry should be about empowering individuals, strengthening families, and helping to build nations. The TEFL industry is failing at all three. These insecure ESL trainers and education consultants have set the bar so low that all teachers have to do is walk into the classroom and look authoritative in a white shirt and tie. They don\'t have to do well; they just have to look good.</p>\n<p>Doing well, coming to class prepared, having an effective teaching strategy that will help the students succeed, this is what students need; this is what students deserve. Not to wrap their needs and present them as something they want; not to keep them happy. This kind of tomfoolery has no place in the classroom.</p>\n<p>It is time that these foreign educational charlatans are called out for their trickery and hocus-pocus version of English language education. It is about time that the locals be made aware of what perfidious educational hacks many of them are.</p>\n<p>Having taught in Khon Kaen, Thailand and Phnom Penh, Cambodia from March 2010 to July 2012, I was extremely fortunate. In Khon Kaen I was honored to work alongside a foreign English Department Director who truly cared about the education of students. The same could be said about the language school in Phnom Penh. The Khmer principal emphasized education above any form of entertainment in the classroom. He defended me whenever a student complained that my classes were too difficult or when a student felt \"too challenged.\" He wanted the students to, in his word, \'struggle\'; for in struggling, that is how we all learn. I am grateful to both men, not only for the chance that I was given, but more importantly, for the chance they gave their students to struggle and learn. This opportunity given to students to struggle for their learning is something that most ESL trainers and education consultants shy away from because they are afraid of any reaction from the students. These two men are extremely rare in the morally and educationally bankrupt TEFL industry.</p>\n<p>I still think of many of my students and the letters they wrote to me describing their hopes and dreams and goals for their future. I think of the young nurse working at Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh for so little money. All this nurse dreams of is improving her English so that her meager salary is increased; all this nurse hopes for is that her elderly parents not live out the last few years of their lives in a third-world shack without indoor plumbing. Instead, this nurse, and so many others like her, is being scammed out of their money by an industry that is content to amuse the students to death by turning English language education into a perverted version of happy hour at Joe\'s Bar. Teachers and students deserve better than that.</p>','','2012-09-03 00:14:49',1,'2012-09-03 00:14:49','2012-09-03 14:02:50'),(11920,59,'A Guinness book of records candidate?','a-guinness-book-of-records-candidate','I know a man whose worked for 19 schools','Ben said that he didn\'t plan to hop from one school to another.

I\'m actually proud to know him because we happen to&nbsp;share the same nickname.</p>\n<p>One summer, I&nbsp;was having&nbsp;lunch at the Big C Extra food court in Bangyai City. All the tables were taken, except for one where a Filipino was eating. He gestured to me to sit down and&nbsp;appearing to be&nbsp;a reasonable sort, I asked him a few&nbsp;questions. It was my first time to meet someone with such a remarkable teaching record, so I got his telephone&nbsp;number and&nbsp;arranged a second meeting.<br /><br />Ben said that he didn\'t plan to hop from one school to another. It just happened. From the time he started teaching at age 20 - but now in his 60\'s - he had taught in 19 schools (excluding tutorial centers). He taught in&nbsp;thirteen schools in the Philippines,&nbsp;five in Thailand and&nbsp;one in Afghanistan. When&nbsp;I asked him&nbsp;why he kept moving from one school to another he explained the major reasons were usually&nbsp;for bigger salary and&nbsp;better opportunities. If he didn\'t like a school, he would put up with everything until it was time to leave. The shortest time he ever&nbsp;stayed&nbsp;at a school was only&nbsp;three months.</p>\n<p>Although Teacher Ben did not stay long in many schools, he was never terminated. His motto was, \"Wherever I am, I always please my director/principal\". That\'s why he always got good ratings from his superiors. He made it a point to make good impressions anywhere he taught so that he could leave with good grace. In addition to this, he loved his students and always&nbsp;put their well-being first.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Ben&nbsp;said he enjoyed teaching most in Afghanistan because he was teaching children of expatriates and the salary was in dollars. He was treated like a first class citizen - mingling with ambassadors, charge de affairs, and 1st to 3rd secretaries of embassies. In Afghanistan, teaching was easy for all his students understood English. Of course, he has always&nbsp;loved teaching his own people in the Philippines&nbsp;because students are conscientious of their studies. This is mainly down to the parents who believe that education is a key to their children\'s status in life&nbsp;and the chance&nbsp;to have good future. The other country he enjoyed teaching in&nbsp;was Thailand because here teaching materials are free, the pay is bigger than what he earned in his own&nbsp;country, living accommodations are affordable, people are nice, and&nbsp;everday cost of living&nbsp;is cheap.</p>\n<p>For Ajarn Ben, he prefers teaching in private schools rather than in public schools because in private schools, where he taught either in Thailand or the Philippines,, there was closer supervision, more disciplined students, better facilities, and more opportunities for professional development. In his opinion, English teachers in government schools of Thailand have more classroom management problems because of lack of&nbsp;communication. In his teaching stint here, he has observed that many students in the public schools lack sense of responsibility. They are careless&nbsp;with their things and most of them do not do their homework. But he is proud to say his Thai students are helpful, respectful and loving.</p>\n<p>He advises young teachers to plan their life, stay put in fewer schools, grow roots, improve their lot, pursue higher studies and achieve their goal. They can work abroad as long as they go back to their country and share what they learned.</p>\n<p>Ben\'s&nbsp;career journey&nbsp;is not worth emulating. He is likened to a rolling stone that gathered no moss. He probably neither established deep relationships with people nor grew roots in a place where he worked. He was easy to forget -&nbsp;just like a passing wind. Although his professionalism, dedication to teaching, love for his students, high regards for his boss, are his fine qualities worth mentioning.</p>\n<p>This blog gives me the realization that it pays to value people, relationships, and establish stability in one\'s place of work. So, if only schools give importance to their teachers, by giving high salary and better teaching conditions, their mentors won\'t be looking for greener pastures somewhere. To sum up his experiences, Ben shared me some lines of&nbsp;a poem he wrote:</p>\n<p>\"As I watch you each day,<br />I wonder if you are really happy;<br />But there is no question about happiness,<br />Is there?<br />Yes, you are contented.<br />But there is something more than living...<br />Open your eyes.<br />Each day you grow feathers.<br />Feel your wings.<br />You can fly.<br />Be free.\"</p>\n</p>','','2012-09-03 01:18:21',1,'2012-09-03 01:18:21','2012-09-03 16:04:22'),(11923,21,'What are your rights?','what-are-your-rights','Where questions are thrown out to real teachers.....or just thrown out','Number one in probably a series of one.

It seems that a language institute in Bangkok does not pay for all public holidays ( they pay for&nbsp;about four a year in fact) .

I am told that all companies must nominate a minimum of 10 public holidays out of the 15 for their company.</p>\n<p>I am trying to find out my rights, before signing a contract , whether a full-time employee , by Thai law, must be paid for public holidays as well as health insurance (which this employer does provide) and also sick leave (which they don\'t pay).</p>\n<p>I also don\'t want to make any trouble for myself as well ( This Is Thailand) by sticking up for my rights ( if any) before starting work for this company. Even clarifying it by asking them to state in the contract that they DON\"T pay for these days could be asking for trouble. I have seen <a href=\"http://www.business-in-asia.com/thai_labor_law.htm\">this link</a> stating that employees are entitled to&nbsp;thirteen national holidays, sick leave and health insurance and would I like to know if it applies to me please.

The truth always hurts. Alternatively, if you work for an international school, on a better English Program or at a school where students frequently score highly in speaking competitions and win places on overseas exchange programs, then this should hopefully have you nodding your head with glee.</p>\n<p>What I saw in that blog and the negative replies to it were what I call the dross and the dregs of NES teachers on the Thai circuit. Allow me to provide an outline of these worthless characters, none of whom I can proudly state that I work with:</p>\n<p>1. The first and the worst: people whose only reason for being here is that they have a Thai partner. Would you, par example, want a Frenchman teaching your children French back home, just because he had a significant other who just happened to come from the same country as you?</p>\n<p>2. Second best: people who hold a TEFL or a CELTA but have failed to realise that their qualification was designed for teaching Europeans and South Americans and stick to their principles without stopping to think why it is that their methods work with only a relatively small number of students. Would you, yok tua yang, want to learn Thai from someone who only knew how to teach it to Asians?</p>\n<p>3. Third class: people who have a Thai partner and have had to take a TEFL or CELTA because teaching English is the only way that they can afford to stay here. Would you, for example, want either you or your children to study with a teacher who had no genuine interest in their job?</p>\n<p>A bad workman blames his tools. I don\'t need to dread to think what a terrible impact the dross and the dregs have had on learning English here, because I\'ve had hands-on experience of helping to repair the remains when I\'ve tutored young adults in the past.</p>\n<p>To conclude: if you truly believe that Thais are poor at learning English, then your teaching method is in serious need of a radical overhaul. Better still, just leave Thailand and go and fail somewhere else instead.

Perhaps you are here for a few years experience before embarking on a regular unrelated career back in your home country? Perhaps you are just on an extended backpacking expedition, which you initially thought would be over within 6-12 months, but now many years later has take you on adventures and experiences you never initially envisaged? Or perhaps you are one of those &lsquo;teachers without borders\' and Thailand is not your first country in which to teach and will not be your last, with a view to teaching in both multiple countries and multiple continents before you hang up marker pen and white-board eraser.</p>\n<p>However, just possibly you are not in any of the above categories and you are planning to stay in Thailand for the long-run. Perhaps you have got hitched to a good Thai woman or man; perhaps you have started a small family and feel Thailand is a better country to raise your children than back home. If therefore you fit into this bracket (and a surprising amount of teachers do) then perhaps you are now looking at setting down roots in Thailand and have contemplated buying a property as a long term investment?</p>\n<p>Firstly, let me start by saying that this is not a sales pitch for <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">my company, Easyhomes</a>, to try and sell as many properties as possible, and I would only advise anyone to invest in Thailand if they could certainly afford the property they were looking to buy and also looked at it as more than just a real estate investment, hoping to make a quick buck! The market is not suitable for this type of investment and the last thing we want to encourage is people getting into debt they cannot afford, or overstretching themselves.</p>\n<p>So assuming you have stronger motives for buying a property in Thailand than trying to make a quick return, then Bangkok could now be a good place for you to invest in property. The main reasons for this are two-fold: the BTS and MRT are at last being developed with more professionalism and enthusiasm than ever before, and we are drawing closer to 2015 each and every day!</p>\n<p>In 2015 the AEC or Asian Economic Community is to be launched, initially amongst the&nbsp;ten nations of ASEAN. If implemented correctly this will provide Asia with a free and single market of approximately 500 million&nbsp;people, and the free flow of goods, capital and labour within&nbsp;ten of the rapidly developing economies of SE Asia. This is pretty big news even by world standards!</p>\n<p>The cynical and critical reader may look at this as a copy-cat scheme of the EU, and look at the economic mess that it has created in the last&nbsp;four years. Although that would not be entirely incorrect, it would perhaps be a little unfair. The EU, unlike its predecessor the EEC (a much more similar model to the proposed AEC) is a far more integrated and bureaucratic organization, which has not only become victim of the GFC, but has struggled to recover due largely to the complications and disadvantages of having a single currency run by multiple financial ministers. The AEC at the&nbsp;present time has no such plans or ambitions and will be based more on free-market trading than political integration.</p>\n<p>The opening up of markets and the increased flow of capital and labor will almost certainly lead to an economic boom in most if not all of the member states, and the major cities like Bangkok will be a magnet for both large capital investment and skilled educated labour, looking to be a part of the most established and lucrative markets in the SE Asian region.</p>\n<p>A quick look at the plans of the BTS and MRT will reveal that not only is the Bangkok metro system advancing far more competently now, with a few of the previous political obstructions now contained to the sidelines, but a lot of its future plans are focused on 2015. The BTS now makes a healthy profit and the MRT is now transporting almost 250,000 people a day. <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/bts-search\">And both systems already cover 48 stations around Bangkok\'s city center</a></p>\n<p>The MRT has plans already in effect to expand in&nbsp;two directions by 2015, Bang Sue - Tha Phra and the Hua Lamphong - Bang Khae line&nbsp;with a grand total of 17 stations either elevated or underground along the extended routes. The BTS has plans to extend the Sukhumvit line from Bearing - Samut Prakan by 2015 and will implement another extension even sooner from Wong Wien Yai - Bang Wa opening between Q4 2012 and Q1 2013, also introducing approximately&nbsp;ten more stations.</p>\n<p>As these metro lines are extended and therefore offer far more Bangkok residents the chance to commute via the metro system, Bangkok will become more efficient and once again the building blocks for an economic boom are in place.</p>\n<p>In conclusion then, with the combined opportunities of the AEC opening up markets in 2015 and the BMA\'s metro system making Bangkok a lot more efficient, the chance to make a good return on an investment in Bangkok is clearly visible. And perhaps the easiest way to grab a slice of the potential economic boom is to invest in property.</p>\n<p>Going back to the start of the blog, if you are one of those foreign teachers with designs on staying in Bangkok for the next 5-10 years, then buying a slice of the Bangkok real estate pie makes perfect sense. In the last 10 years, despite the effects of the GFC and without an AEC to support economic expansion and having to deal with a number of monumental political problems including a coup, rioting in Bangkok\'s city center and the closure of Bangkok\'s main airport under protest, Bangkok\'s real estate prices have roughly doubled.</p>\n<p>If you are remaining in Bangkok for the next&nbsp;five years at least then you will experience the benefits of the arrival of the AEC and the expansion of the metro system, but also wherever you live, you will have to pay rent at least - so why not convert those payments into mortgage payments? And in the process gain from the capital appreciation your property will hopefully enjoy.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

But unfortunately it\'s nowhere near that straightforward.','<p>Will I find work in Thailand? Of all the questions I get sent to me through the ajarn.com contact form, this question is easily the most common.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve decided to do something I\'ve been meaning to do for a long, long time and that is to provide hopefully the definitive answer to this question. The problem is that the definitive answer probably doesn\'t exist but at least I\'ll be able to guide teachers to this page in the hope that a ‘stock answer\' is better than no answer at all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, let\'s begin with the main reasons why teachers ask if they will find work in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) The teacher lacks a degree.\r\n	<br>2) The teacher is not a native speaker of English.\r\n	<br>3) The teacher has no teaching experience to speak of.\r\n	<br>4) The teacher considers himself / herself to be ‘too old\' or in some cases ‘too young\'\r\n	<br>5) The teacher considers himself / herself to be at a disadvantage when it comes to skin color and/or appearance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think I\'ve covered the main five reasons there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wish I could look at the five possible scenarios above and give everyone a straight \"yes, you will\" or \"no, you won\'t\" answer. But unfortunately it\'s nowhere near that straightforward.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let me pull no punches here. Here\'s how it is and I think most long-term Thailand teachers, having spent a good few years in the system, would probably agree with me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) Teachers with degrees will find work much easier than those without degrees (but that\'s not to say finding work without a degree is impossible) A few years back I would have said degreed teachers will find work easier, instead of ‘much easier\' but there\'s no doubt that things have become tougher for those who lack the required qualifications.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2) English native speakers will generally find work easier than non-native speakers but the key word is ‘generally\'. Much depends on where you apply to for work. Many schools out in the rural areas gave up trying to hire native English speakers long ago. They simply can\'t or won\'t pay enough so they have to settle for ‘second best\' (their words, not mine) And in many cases, a good European non-native speaker will be considered for a job on a par with a native speaker anyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3) Teachers with experience will generally find it easier to get work than those without. There\'s that key word ‘generally\' again. If you\'re wondering why I\'m not saying whether it\'s ‘much easier\' or ‘a little easier\' it\'s because I haven\'t got the first clue. No one has. It\'s all just based on opinion and supposition.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4) and 5) you could bundle together quite easily. Appearances and ‘packaging\' count for almost everything in Thailand. It\'s no good pretending that ageism and racism don\'t exist because they quite clearly do! however not in every school thankfully. So to summarize, younger teachers generally find it easier to get teaching work than older teachers and I\'ll stick my neck out and say white teachers find it much easier to secure teaching positions than black teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let me reiterate that not for one moment does this mean that a black or old or inexperienced teacher won\'t find work. Period. I\'ve worked with black teachers who have been easily the most popular teacher in the school and years ago, I worked with a 75-year old American guy, who not only got more student requests than everyone else but was still buzzing with energy at the end of an 8-hour teaching day while us ‘youngsters\' were slumped over our desks in a corner of the teachers room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once again it\'s about appearance, ‘packaging\' and the image you project. There are 30-year olds who look forty and 60-year olds who would pass for fifty. It\'s only a number!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But what makes all of the above almost completely irrelevant is this - the fact that <strong>ONLY YOU KNOW YOU!</strong> This is the point that the majority of people miss when they e-mail me to ask the question ‘\"will I find teaching work in Thailand?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To use one of my father\'s favorite expressions - \"are you the kind of guy who could fall off a department store roof and land in a new suit?\" Are you the kind of guy who can land in a strange country and within 48 hours, you\'ve made three good contacts in local pubs and restaurants and got half a dozen good job interviews lined up? People who tackle what life throws at them in this manner are all out there. We\'ve all met them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Do you perform well at job interviews?\r\n	<br>Are you good at making a first impression?\r\n	<br>Do you get on well with people?\r\n	<br>Are you a good team player?\r\n	<br>Do you have a good sense of humor and a go-with-the-flow personality?\r\n	<br>Do you have some savings behind you?\r\n	<br>Is your resume as professional as it could be?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I could go on and list hundreds of these questions. The more of them that you can answer ‘yes\' to, the more successful you will be in finding your dream teaching job in Thailand. But only you truly know the answers to these questions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Is there anything I\'ve missed out here?</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/jobs1.gif','2018-07-17 02:46:00',1,'2018-02-27 02:46:38','2018-08-27 15:32:10'),(12372,70,'My Chiang Mai','my-chiang-mai','People, places and events and all things Northern Thailand','I guess for my first blog I should talk about my journey to become a teacher in Chiang Mai.

Way back in 1990 I backpacked from Australia back home to the UK. Travelling through the Nusa Tengra islands of Indonesia I met lots of travelers heading in the opposite direction who told me tales of wonderful and amazing Thailand. Through Singapore and Malaysia the stories continued until the day I finally arrived at the Thai border. I looked across and not only anticipated but also imagined the great experiences I was about to meet, so what a disappointment when I finally arrived. People seemed unfriendly and greedy in the south; Koh Samui was the same; Bangkok made me consider going home.</p>\n<p>I decided to give Thailand one last shot and go trekking from a northern city called Chiangmai, or was it Chieng Mai. I wasn\'t really interested in the name though, as I was going there for mountain walks with hill-tribe people. However (this is a very big &lsquo;however\'), I was absolutely charmed by the people, sights, smells, food and culture of this place I now know is called Chiang Mai. It was love at first sight.</p>\n<p>Reluctantly leaving Thailand I moved to Hong Kong and Macau. From Macau I took the night boat to China, well Guangzhou to be exact. From there I traveled by train to Beijing to catch the Trans-Siberian express to Moscow and then on to Berlin and finally home. It was an amazing adventure that changed the way I looked at life. Years passed in provincial-town England and despite a well-paid job, nice house just outside London and a beautiful(ish) girlfriend, there was something missing.</p>\n<p>As the 90s progressed I more and more understood that the only time I had truly felt alive was when I was shoe-stringing my way through Asia in 1990. However, I was now trapped. I felt I couldn\'t just walk away from a pretty good job. In addition, there was my mortgage and also the woman I planned to marry to consider. Eventually one day while driving home after another 12-hour day, the internal pressure to change something exploded. The girlfriend was ditched. A flight was booked. My house was leased to a nice young couple. A Lonely Planet book for India was purchased. A year was then spent doing and seeing things in India that made Harrison Ford\'s adventures in The Raiders of the Lost Ark seem mundane. As the year drew to a close and thoughts of the flight home grew stronger, I started to panic. I knew a life of mortgaged marital bliss in the suburbs wasn\'t, and would never be, me anymore.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jq2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Like a corny plot twist in a Hollywood movie, life dealt me a couple of aces while traveling on a rickety old bus in Sri Lanka. I had sat next to two English teachers who worked in Bangkok, and their tales of teaching in the Big Mango enthralled me. I left the bus knowing that this was the path I was going to take. Anyway, cutting a long story short that included a TEFL course, an English exotic dancer, Benidorm, a few tears and a temporary job in a dry-cleaning &lsquo;factory\', I was on my way to Thailand a couple of months later with a well-deserved 120-hour TEFL certificate. I planned to head to my favorite city in Asia from my 1990 adventure. I landed at Don Muang airport at 1:47pm on October 21st 1999 and was on the Khao San road night bus to Chiang Mai a day later. Since then there has not been a single regret regarding my decision to make this break and relocate my life to Asia.</p>\n<p>My first year in the north was spent intentionally avoiding too much work. After a year in India I was going to party and work would just get in the way. However, I had enough teaching hours from a language school job to cover living costs and finance a Honda-dream lifestyle. Through a friend I got my foot in the door at the British Council teaching centre. A 2-year full-time contract and fixed salary followed and financed a nicer apartment and a growing bank balance. The bank balance was blown when I took a 6-month holiday at the end of my contract. I managed to travel around Thailand and visit Laos, Cambodia and Burma while still keeping an apartment in Chiang Mai. It was worth the expense. I then became a Director of Studies at another school before starting my own school around 6 years ago. I am still a school owner, but my day job since 2006 has been TEFL trainer.</p>\n<p>Over the coming months I plan to blog about living and teaching in the north with profiles of different schools and teachers (past and present), plus interviews with foreign teachers and people involved in education. Thrown in at appropriate spots will be advice and news for newbies and potential expat teachers. Chiang Mai also knows how to celebrate and the Loy Kratong and Songkran festivals are celebrated here with an enthusiasm and passion not seen anywhere else, and I won\'t forget to write about these as well.

On the last day of my last training course of 2010 I came down with a chronic chest and throat infection. It put me out of action from Christmas Eve to just before our first course of 2011 started - what a holiday! Happily though, there was some ying to my yang and from January 16th to 21st I was an all-expenses-paid guest on a familiarization trip organized by the Singaporean Tourism Board (STB).</p>\n<p>The STB promotes Singaporean education across Asia. I was selected and trained by the Singaporean Government over 4 years ago to become a Singapore Education Specialist (SES) as part of their Global School House initiative to create a network of education agents. In addition to the many leading foreign universities with campuses in Singapore, their schools and universities are some of the best in the world. There were many highlights during my visit including visiting Oliver Stone\'s office at NYU\'s Tisch School of Art\'s where he conducts classes. Other &lsquo;unofficial\' highlights were eating a really delicious curry in Little India and sitting watching the world go by while drinking large bottles of Tiger beer in a roadside restaurant in China Town as it prepared for the upcoming Chinese New Year.</p>\n<p>For my second blog I\'ve decided to write about one of the most well-known private schools in the north of Thailand.

According to Wikipedia its student enrollment of 7,000 is the highest in the north, and to cope with such a large student population it employs over 400 teaching staff including 30 native-speaking English teachers, 6 native-speaking Chinese teachers and one native-speaking Japanese teacher. Interestingly, the school was founded by a foreigner, and it has been employing them as teachers for over 130 years; as a consequence of this long history, there is little this school does not know about successfully employing foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>During the nineteenth century American missionaries started to arrive in Bangkok with the intention to introduce Christianity to a pragmatic Buddhist nation. One such missionary was Dan Beach Bradley. Dan Bradley also played a significant role in introducing Western medicine and medical practices to Thailand. He was also the father of Sophia Bradley McGilvary who along with her husband the Reverend Daniel McGilvary later moved to Chiang Mai in April 1867 to establish the first Presbyterian mission (known as the Laos Mission) in Chiang Mai. In around 1875 Sophia started a small class for Christian girls in her home which was the starting point for the founding of the first Chiang Mai Girls\' School in 1879. The school received the royal patronage of the royal consort Pra Raj Chaya Chao Dara Ratsamee, and in 1888 King Rama V named the school Pra Raj Chaya\'s Girls\' School in honour of his Chiang Mai wife. Known locally as Princess Dara Ratsamee, the school\'s royal patron was also the daughter of Pra Chao Inthawichayanon the seventh Chiang Mai King. The school is almost universally known in English today as Dara Academy.</p>\n<p><img height=\"250\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dara1.jpg\" width=\"330\" /></p>\n<p>To really find out what it\'s like working here I contacted a couple of old friends who have both taught at Dara for a number of years. Todd Cikraji is American, married to a Thai teacher and speaks Thai fluently. Deborah Baker is also American, and she is one of the few foreign teachers I know who has successfully passed the TCT Exams in order to obtain a permanent Teachers\' License.</p>\n<p><strong>1. What are your responsibilities?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"Over the years, I have taught Matayom 3 and 5, as well as a special class on brained based learning. For the last two years, I have been teaching an advanced English class for the Thai English teachers. Our school is proactive with the new ASEAN initiatives that were adopted by the Ministry of Education.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"My responsibilities are half related to teaching and half to administrative duties. I teach 12 hours of Prathom 4 (4th grade) per week. I love Prathom 4, they are by far my favorite age group to teach... Still young and sweet. Everything is fun. However, they are old enough to be able to focus and work on a task for an extended period of time. I also oversee the work of the Prathom (primary school) NP (Native Speaker Program) teachers at our school. When the situation arises, I also assist with coordinating the hiring process and whatever else comes up throughout the year.\"</p>\n<p><strong>2. What\'s been your biggest challenge and what\'s been your biggest success while teaching at Dara?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"My biggest challenge has been learning to communicate in the Thai way. Now, after 4 years, it has become second nature, but in the beginning I didn\'t understand and was too direct in my approach.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"Being taken out of my own comfort zone and working within a system, can still be foreign and difficult to me, has been and will continue to be my biggest challenge. However, being able to operate and build upon this overall system at the school and having my friends and long-term colleagues tell me that they are pleased with how the program has developed and that I have had an active role in that development has been my biggest success. Not just working with, but being an active member of a large organization, that operates within the cultural and social rules of another country is a difficult, but rewarding task.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dara2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong>3. How do you think Dara differs from other Thai private schools?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"This is a difficult question for me because I\'m not too familiar with the other private schools. However, Dara has a long history and has a good reputation which is one reason many parents choose Dara for their children. Dara has won a number of Royal Awards for quality education. For the foreign teachers in Chiang Mai, it is generally considered one of the best places to work. Dara realizes that many foreign teachers are away from their home countries, so they make an effort to provide services like housing, breakfast and lunch, laundry services and a trip to the beach every year to keep our spirits high.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"Well, some of the Thai private schools in Thailand are rather new. Dara\'s been around for a very long time... over 130 years - and has some amazing traditions and a great history. It\'s technically the oldest school in northern Thailand, and considering it was originally started by American missionaries, the administration and organization as a whole is rather welcoming and familiar with issues related to foreign teachers.\"</p>\n<p><strong>4. How are Dara\'s foreign teachers viewed by the local community?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"Generally, foreign teachers in Chiang Mai seem well received by the local community. Dara has been here for over 130 years, so you will come across Dara alumni everywhere. If it is a Dara uniform day, people will go out of their way to approach me and say hi.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"Generally well, I think. Everyone in Chiang Mai knows of the school, and most are semi-familiar with its history. For this reason, most of our foreign (and Thai) staff are fairly well respected by the community. \"</p>\n<p><strong>5. What qualities does a foreigner need to possess to be successful as a teacher at Dara?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"Teachers at Dara must have a Bachelor\'s Degree. A TEFL is not mandatory, but is given preference. A good TEFL program, particularly if it includes teaching practice in a Thai school, usually proves invaluable. It is also helpful if an applicant has prior teaching experience.</p>\n<p>The most important ingredient for success at Dara is to relax into the Dara culture. If a teacher is inflexible in their views on Thai education, the importance of a dress code and proper behavior for teachers and in their direct communication style, they will usually not be successful. Flexibility is the key. Often this inflexibility can be spotted in an interview, but not always.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \" The minimum qualifications to get a job teaching English in the Native Speaker Program at Dara Academy, is to have a 4-year bachelor\'s degree, speak English clearly and be of the following nationalities: American, Canadian, British, Irish, Australian, New Zealander or South African. Individuals with previous teaching experience, TEFL certifications and degrees in teaching are looked upon highly.<br /><br />As for individuals that are successful in their job placement... It takes a lot of flexibility and cross-cultural sensitivity to work successfully in any long-term position in a foreign country. Therefore, people who are able to leave their cultural baggage at home and understand that things are going to work differently here at Dara Academy and Thailand, are the ones that normally end up having the most positive and successful experience.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dara3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong>6. Is there a career path for foreign teachers at Dara?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"There is a career path at Dara. It is not formal, but Dara definitely values teachers who are willing to do quality work, be creative and who will make a long-term commitment. These teachers are rewarded in a variety of ways.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"Yes, but it\'s not easy. There are opportunities for promotion within the system, but it\'s not going to happen for a teacher in a year or two. At this point one really has to prove himself or herself as a devoted, hard working, culturally sensitive individual, with an interest to stay and work with Dara for many years before they are given the opportunity to do have a more active role in the system and administration of the school. \"</p>\n<p><strong>7. How do Thai teachers view foreign teachers at Dara?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"The foreign teacher relationship with the Thai teachers has improved gradually over the years. Everyone continues to try to understand each others\' perspectives. We generally have fun in the classroom and co-teaching is encouraged. The differences in salary and the requirement for attendance at a host of ceremonies and special events is a source of frustration for some of the Thai teachers. However, the Thai teachers also realize that these differences are the result of separate programs with their own financial structure and parent preferences.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"I suppose this question is ultimately up to the individual Thai teacher. It\'s been interesting in that when I first started working at Dara, which was also the beginning of the Native Speaker Program and when the school started hiring large numbers of foreign teachers, the foreign teachers had their own clique and I believe we were seen as very much a separate entity within the school. As the years roll by I have seen foreign teachers and Thai teachers become close (and even in some cases get married). At this point the foreign teacher department is certainly embraced by the Thai teachers and administration as an important and well organized/operational part of the school.\"</p>\n<p><strong>8. Why did you choose Chiang Mai?</strong></p>\n<p>Deborah: \"Before coming to Thailand, I envisioned that I would be teaching in the South on a secluded island with white sandy beaches and turquoise water. Of course, those jobs are few and far between. When I visited Chiang Mai, I fell in love with the city. It is like a small town in many ways, yet has loads of good places to eat, ayurvedic spas, yoga studios and nature experiences. Coffee houses are plentiful and it is easy to find secluded places to relax. The Lanna Culture with its diversity and friendliness has proven addictive for me and besides, I can get away to the beach on holidays. So, it\'s truly the best of both worlds.\"</p>\n<p>Todd: \"I chose Chiang Mai, because the first time I visited, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. \"</p>\n<p><strong>9. Do you have any other interests outside of work?</strong></p>\n<p>Todd: \"Yes, I also work for a small volunteer organization named <a href=\"http://www.volunteerthailand.org/\">Friends for Asia</a> Friends for Asia places short and long term volunteers in a variety of different projects within the Chiang Mai area. So, I keep pretty busy.\"</p>\n<p>Thank you Deborah and Todd.</p>\n<p>If anyone would like to know more about Dara and their foreign teacher program, a good start would be <a href=\"http://www.dara.ac.th/np\">their website</a>. Well that\'s today\'s school visit finished. Next blog I plan to write about the foreigners\' cemetery in Chiang Mai.

It continues to be overseen by the resident British Consul, but nowadays most of its executive duties are performed by a committee of caring long-term foreign residents. As you enter, you\'ll see a map attached to the warden\'s house listing all the graves, their occupants and their nationalities. A few plots remain unoccupied, and I\'m sure if the committee approves, you can reserve one for your final-resting-place.</p>\n<p>There\'s even a statue of Queen Victoria in one corner overlooking her Chiang Mai dominion.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JohnQ2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo - Queen Victoria Statue</em></p>\n<p>I think to uproot from the familiar and move to live in a very alien society takes courage and character. The cemetery is full of extraordinary people, and one blog isn\'t enough to cover all their stories. I\'ll start with a few and write more in the future... on condition that I haven\'t joined them by then.</p>\n<p>The events that led to the violent death in 1902 of Captain Jensen, seconded from the Danish army, could possibly have led to the annexation of Northern Thailand by British controlled Burma. Britain had used &lsquo;incidents\' to take control of the natural resources of Burma in three waves during the 19th Century, and Northern Thailand\'s teak trees and ruby mines wouldn\'t have gone unnoticed by the British Colonial Office at that time. Perhaps that is why a Dane, and not a Briton, was appointed captain of the Siamese Provincial Gendarmerie in 1900.</p>\n<p>As the 19th and 20th centuries met, much of the labour Siam used to harvest teak and rubies came from the Shan State in Burma. At that time the Shan were Burmese and Burmese were British citizens with their rights and freedoms protected by the Imperial British government. However, Siam viewed them differently and used them as cheap and expendable workers who were harassed (not much has changed!) and over-taxed.</p>\n<p>Simmering grievances boiled over to become an uprising in June 1902. Phrae was sacked and its governor beheaded before the rebels marched on Lampang 200kms south. Here they met the gendarmerie led by Captain Jensen and his second-in-command Louis Leonowens (son of Anna Leonowens who was immortalized in the Hollywood epic The King and I). Brave and determined the defenders routed the rebels and pursued them as they fled north to Phayao where Captain Jensen was shot in the chest and died just as his militia finally put the rebellion to the sword.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JohnQ3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo - Captain Jensen\'s obelisk headstone</em></p>\n<p>Recognizing the significance of Captain Jensen\'s efforts and sacrifice, King Chulalongkorn (Rama IIV) promoted him posthumously to major, paid for his headstone and awarded his estate 10,000 baht. In addition, his mother received a Thai government pension of 3,000 baht until her death in 1936. If the insurrection had spread and the Siamese had marched north to crush it, Britain may have considered intervention to &lsquo;protect\' its citizens. What would Chiang Mai be like today if the British had occupied it 109 years ago?</p>\n<p>Close to the stream that runs behind the cemetery are five graves all related by blood. The two larger graves mark the remains of David Fleming Macfie (1870 - 1945) and his wife Kammao (1882 - 1968). David, although Scottish, was from Manchester cotton-mill money and managed the teak concessions of the Boneo Company Limited (BCL) for many years until his retirement in 1927. After donating a sacred white elephant calf from the BCL herd to King Prajadhipok, Rama VII, he was appointed to the Order of the White Elephant. During the 2nd World war he was interned by the Japanese and died shortly after his release at the end of the war. David was a founder member in 1898 of the Chiengmai Gymkhana Cub and played polo and tennis. The club still exists today and each April plays hosts to the internationally renowned cricket 6s. Kammao was a handmaiden to one of the princesses of Chiang Mai before marriage. She became a Christian and was responsible for the construction of several churches. Adjacent to their parents are the graves of Norah (1909 - 1991), Angus (1910 - 1989) and Violet (1905 -1987). All were born in Chiang Mai but moved away to receive foreign educations when they were very young.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JohnQ4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo - The Macfie family</em></p>\n<p>My last blog was about Dara Academy and Sophia McGalvary (1839 - 1923) the American missionary who founded it. Sophia and her husband, the Reverend Daniel (1828 - 1911), lay side by side with their backs (symbolically?) to the Gymkhana Club across the stream behind them.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JohnQ5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><em>Photo - Reverend Daniel and his wife Sophia McGilvary</em></p>\n<p>Leo GM Alting Von Geusau (1925 - 2002) was a highly-educated Dutch socialist anthropologist who started his working life as a priest but later renounced all organized religions as he became a protector and patron of the Akha hill tribe. He devoted much of his life to assisting the Akha understand and assimilate in to modern Thai life. On each of our SEE TEFL training courses there is one day set aside for cultural awareness training, and one of the places we visit on this day is this cemetery. Twice my wife Ying, who is not Akha, has stood in front of Leo\'s grave and felt what she describes as a warm and friendly cloud of energy envelope her arm.

Four of the tiles show a young child\'s drawings. The other two tiles are written across with the message \"Oliver Johnson a strong boy age 3 drowned February 24th, 1980\". I\'m not normally an emotionally person, but now I have my own children, with one a similar age to Oliver.

The rains here stop in November, and apart from occasional &lsquo;mango\' rain storm in March, they don\'t really start again until late May. It gets pretty hot during this period and daytime temperatures can hover around 40C (104 F) during the day from March to May. It\'s a dry heat though and for me it doesn\'t feel too uncomfortable. Coming from a cold, wet and miserable country, I actually enjoy this time of year: the bone I broke in my right wrist when I was nineteen but didn\'t allow to set properly because I took off my plaster-cast in order to go swimming, doesn\'t ache; my washed clothes dry in ten minutes; cold beer tastes as good as it looks in adverts. However, it\'s not all sunshine, so to speak. The hot season also brings poor air quality and the environmental and health problems associated with this.</p>\n<p>For this blog I\'m going to write about our hot season: the good, the bad and the ugly.</p>\n<p>Let\'s start with something good. Around the middle of every April, Thailand, along with many other Asian countries, celebrates New Year. In the Land of Smiles this holiday is called Songran and generally involves drunken revelry and water fights. In most parts of Thailand this holiday lasts one or two days, but in Chiang Mai we keep throwing water at each other for a whole week. Schools, banks and government buildings are closed. Improvised food and alcohol stalls around the moat and Tha Pae road open, and the death rate due to drunken silliness sky rockets.</p>\n<p>In years gone by I used to park my Honda dream near the end of Huay Kaew Road on the mountain-side of the old city and then walk with a few friends around the moat until we reached Tha Pae Gate. For most of this journey we only met Thais, and no matter how drunk they were, everything and everyone deserved a smile. We would stop at improvised &lsquo;illegal\' alcohol stalls and down a few rice whiskies at 8 baht a shot. This whisky, or lao kaow as it\'s known to locals, contains enough potential energy to send a rocket to the moon.</p>\n<p>A leisurely 3-hour walk would eventually lead us to the Tha Pae Gate area and &lsquo;farangs\'. I realize tourists don\'t know the unwritten rules of Songran water fighting, but common sense should tell someone not to throw water at a person who obviously doesn\'t want to participate in the fun. The small minority who don\'t know the rules can poison Songran for some long-term foreign residents who stay at home rarely venturing out all through this week. Bah, humbug.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been talking about a generalized hot season, but I think it\'s important to mention that this year\'s season has been a particularly strange one. There have been consecutive days we experienced maximum temperatures of 23C when they should have been hanging around the mid to high thirties. There have been prolonged rain storms which have sometimes taken a few days to leave our valley at a time of year when the atmosphere should be so dry that large cracks open the soil; dust should cover leaves, so it appears trees are covered in a light sprinkling of snow. However, I\'ve never experienced a hot season like this one before, and this is my twelfth. Is it just a freak year or are changes taking place? I guess we won\'t know until, or unless, a pattern over a number of years emerges.</p>\n<p>One of the really nice things about the hot season this year is the improvement in air quality. For the first time since I arrived, mountains on both sides of the valley can be seen. I remember past years when Doi Suthep mountain disappeared for months in a smog of dust and pollution. The rain really has done a good job preventing burning and settling dust and all the nasty little particles emitted by motorized vehicles and fires. However, we can\'t always rely on nature to correct the selfishness of man. Despite the best intentions, I\'m sure my efforts don\'t contribute a great deal to improving the environment. I would like to do more, but I always have an excuse to avoid participating in some of the projects started by locals which aim to clean our valley.</p>\n<p>I recently bumped into Caroline Marsh, an old buddy of mine. She is someone who has got off her bum and is doing something. She is the co-founder of Chiang Mai-based independent <a href=\"http://www.trekkingcollective.com\">ethical tour operator</a> and has lived here with her young family for 20 years. The environment is a major concern for Caroline, and she actively works to improve it by participating in two organizations: the Lanna Community Life Network (LCLN) and Holistic Environment Urban Schools Program (HEUSP). <br />She agreed to tell me about her environmental work.</p>\n<p><strong>1. What is the LCLN?<br /></strong>The Lanna Community Life Network is a small and local stand-alone \'grassroots\' community group with zero official funding, and a global mix of caring citizens.</p>\n<p><strong>The LCCN Mission Statement:<br /></strong>The Lanna Community Life Network (LCLN) is a community-based grassroots \'watchdog\' group, whose efforts are principally focused within the greater Chiang Mai area while coordinating with the entire Lanna Region (the 8 provinces of northern Thailand).</p>\n<p>We are highly committed to living in balance with the natural world around us and strive to achieve that balance through embracing what we believe are our fundamental human rights. We wish to ensure that the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we use are all healthy and sustainable. We also maintain that the streets and public areas which we share continue to be safe and accessible to all. We continually liaise with national and local government bodies in an effort to protect the quality of our local environment, as well as the health of all citizens of Chiang Mai and the Lanna Region.</p>\n<p><strong>2. What are its objectives?<br /></strong>We endeavor to educate citizens about the importance of cutting their carbon use for a sustainable future, while keeping shared resources under public control. To raise and sustain awareness levels among the residents of Chiang Mai on the importance of living in balance with nature while pressuring government agencies to serve the public interest with regard to the fundamental human rights we embrace.</p>\n<p><strong>3. What are its latest initiatives?<br /></strong>The People\'s Pledge with over 10,000 signatures, including the Mayor, Governor, members of the Chiang Mai royal family, heads of central government, teachers, students and parents. <br />30 easy-to-do actions that reduce the use of carbon emissions by 10% each year. <br />Zero burning which is a seasonal big one to conquer here in the Lanna region.<br />Reducing the amount of carbon particles entering our environment from vehicle emissions. This pollution is like each of us walking around with a burning cigarette in our mouths constantly.</p>\n<p><strong>4. How can other like-minded people become involved? <br /></strong>Contact:<br />Caroline (English) 0831523621<br />Punika (Thai) 0892634422</p>\n<p>We have a weekly Wednesday lunchtime meeting and a monthly evening meeting at different venues around town; more and more people are asking to join, and we\'ll start a membership signup on the website once it\'s up and running!</p>\n<p><strong>5. Can you describe the work you do for the Holistic Environment Urban Schools Program (HEUSP)?<br /></strong>I coordinate the HEUSP. This is a pilot project for 4 government and temple schools in the 3-Kings\' district of the old city. We encourage kids and parents to plant trees and pledge to love and care for these trees. These trees protect the kids\' school environment.</p>\n<p>We organize an organic farmer\'s market every Friday at Puttispon primary school to encourage kids to eat healthy but affordable foods. We aim to keep them off the 7/11 sell-by date diet; our children also have a sell-by date as well!</p>\n<p>Thanks Caroline for sharing this information with me.

At that time I knew very little about them and certainly hadn\'t chatted with any. Like many Brits who grew up during the 70s and 80s, I had a dislike for anything associated with the word &lsquo;Christian\', and the mere mention of the word &lsquo;missionary\' led me to shout \" why don\'t they leave people alone?\" to anyone within earshot. However, after living here for over 11 years and meeting many of them personally, my opinions have mellowed quite dramatically. For this blog I am going to write about, if you haven\'t guessed already, the Western followers in Chiang Mai of the Christian God.</p>\n<p>I grew up in a British suburban home surrounded by skepticism and cynicism for all organized religions. My Dad is from Glasgow and experienced first-hand as a child the rabid bigotry between Catholics and Protestants. He regarded bigotry and moral corruption as intrinsic to all organized religions and told me religion was all nonsense. I believed him then, and I still believe him now. Nothing has changed my opinion regarding &lsquo;organized\' religion. However, I have come to believe it is people, and not religions, that create the good and evil in our world.</p>\n<p>I believe we all possess a soul which balances negative and positive energy. I believe that by doing, thinking and saying good things, I can increase the positive energy in my soul and reduce the negative stuff that so often creates personal hells. Regrettably, I don\'t work nearly as hard at this as I should. Good people\'s souls, regardless of any religious affiliation, possess lots of positive energy.</p>\n<p>I also believe the only reality is my own reality: somebody else\'s experiences aren\'t mine, so reality for me can\'t be found in another person\'s writings in a Bible or Koran, or even on another person\'s lips. Moral teachings can be found there, but the truth, whatever the truth is, can only be found in my soul by me.</p>\n<p>Although most Christians I meet do not throw their religious beliefs at me, the dogma of some comes across to me as arrogance. Christians, in general, feel theirs is the only truth and you must accept it or go to hell. There is little room for other beliefs or religions. I don\'t buy that. I love the Buddhist approach to spiritual belief which can briefly be summarized as &lsquo;up to you\'. It has a path and moral teachings, but there is no Buddhist sales representative going to knock my door.</p>\n<p>Anyway, let\'s move on to how Christians arrived in Chiang Mai. Although Thailand was first exposed to Christian teachings by Portuguese traders and mercenaries in the 17th Century, it wasn\'t until America Presbyterians arrived in Bangkok in 1828 that this religion established a firm foothold in a country that was almost exclusively Buddhist. There was royal support for these first missionaries. In fact, an 1878 edict from King Chulalongkorn stated: \"...Every person has the right to choose his own religious belief...If anyone considers the religion of Jesus Christ to be good and true, he is free to profess it...Religion is no hindrance to a man\'s duty to his country.\". The King was merely reflecting, I feel, the teachings of tolerance within Buddhism.</p>\n<p>The original mission in Chiang Mai was founded by Daniel and Sophia McGilvary in April 1867. Local people benefited greatly from the medicines, including quinine, Daniel brought with him, and he was soon named &lsquo;Pau Kru Luang\' or &lsquo;Great Father Teacher\'. His wife Sophia founded Dara Academy. This first mission was called the Laos Mission and included 6 other missions across the North of Thailand plus one in Kengtung, Burma and one in Yunnan, China. It was eventually absorbed into the <a href=\"http://ero.cct.or.th/index.html\">Church of Christ in Thailand</a> (CCT) in 1934. Initially there was official local resistance to the mission, and in 1869 two of the first six converts of the Laos Mission were executed!</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/first_western_building.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"199\" />When the missionaries arrived, they worked on three fronts in their war to save souls: churches, schools and hospitals. The first Western building in Chiang Mai was a church which was built on the East bank of the Ping River close to Nawarat Bridge in 1868. Also on the East bank Christian schools, including Prince Royal\'s College and Dara Academy, and hospitals, McCormick, were founded at the end of the 19th century on land owned by the CCT. It was not until well into the 20th century that &lsquo;farang\' were allowed to reside on the old-city side of the river.</p>\n<p>Today, it is estimated that there are over 4,000 missionaries in Chiang Mai and the surrounding provinces. Some work in the mountains with hill tribes, some work with a range of charitable foundations in the city and some work independently. Although a sizeable minority is from South Korea, Australia and the UK, many are from the USA. Many of the Presbyterian and Baptist groups fall under the protective wing of the CCT; however, evangelical groups, such Jehovah\'s Witnesses and Mormons tend to work independently of other organizations. There are even some Amish-type ones who wear 19th century clothes. I remember I stood and stared the first time I saw Laura Ingalls walk into Dukes to order a burger and fries.</p>\n<p><img height=\"187\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/McCormick_Hospital.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"300\" />The Christians I have met who have come through SEE\'s TEFL training course are all honest, hard-working, moral, sincere and selfless. For example, from their own pocket Heather and her husband foster care 7 boys from Viengping Orphanage. I have met the boys and they are polite, reserved and respectful. Heather has given them hope and a future. She is a wonderful human being. However, I wanted to know more about SEE\'s Christians, so I sent a list of questions by email to a few Christian graduates. Gary and Gordon responded, and I have added their interviews below.</p>\n<p>Gary Moon (GM) was a chiropractor in the States. He is a United Methodist Missionary. <a href=\"http://www.thailandumc.com/\">He is currently establishing in Chiang Mai an orphanage for Thai kids with AIDS.</a></p>\n<p>Gordon O. McGinnis (GOM) is American and before coming to Thailand he was a civilian contractor in Iraq. In Thailand he teaches English and Bible.</p>\n<p><strong>1. What do God and Jesus mean to you?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;GM: Savior and the Lord</p>\n<p>GOM: Christianity is unique in that God came to earth and lived among men. He did this in the person of Jesus Christ. God came down to the level of His creation, humanity. He fully and completely entered into the human experience. Every negative aspect and every positive aspect of life as humans experience it He too has experienced it. He knows what you are going through.</p>\n<p>Then there is the purity of God. Light. Dark. It has to be one or the other. It can not be both light and dark at the same time. Light and dark can not ever exist together. In the same way sin (an old fashioned word meaning to do something you know you shouldn\'t) and God can not ever exist together. So here I am a person who knows I have done things I should not have. I am a sinner. I want to be with God but I can\'t because my sin and God can not exist together. That is the Biblical definition of death - eternal separation from God.</p>\n<p>The sacrifice of Jesus. Jesus lived a sin free life and died in my place. In your place. The sin that each of us has ever done separates us from the presence of God forever. Jesus died and took the penalty for our sins upon Himself so that those who believe upon Him can be saved and enter into God\'s presence for eternity. Jesus is referred to as having \"defeated\" death in that He came back to life and rose again to heaven. He has exercised His power over death and offers eternal life to those who believe in Him. As a Christian my body will die but my spirit will live forever with God through faith is Jesus. He is likened unto a Sheppard who knows His sheep. He knows if you are His or not.</p>\n<p><strong>2. How did they influence your decision to come to Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>GM: Led me to Thailand through United Methodist Church.</p>\n<p>GOM: No doubt about it God was the major motivating force which brought me to Thailand. I do believe that He called me to come here. Why move? To be a missionary. To tell people who are interested about Jesus. Why Thailand? Don\'t know. It could have been anywhere in the world. I do well and truly love living here. I like the people very much. I remember back in college a guest speaker on campus noting that we need to stop fearing that God will call us to live some place and to some work that will leave us miserable and unhappy. My getting to live here is proof that he was correct.</p>\n<p><strong>3. How do they influence your life here? </strong></p>\n<p>GM: Gave me joy, peace in mind, appreciate others and to love Thai people.</p>\n<p>GOM: The same way they do no matter where in the world I go. Before I met Jesus I was a genuinely Pagan guy. Drugs. Theft. Lying. Sex. Selfish. Violent. Self Centered. Etc. Now though, the old saying, \"Christians are not perfect, they are just forgiven\" certainly holds true. I am not perfectly free of these sins but they are no longer a pattern of life for me. This is due to the presence of God in my life.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Do you actively try to convert non-Christians?</strong></p>\n<p>GM: No, I don\'t. I just want to share who Jesus is and His love with Thai people.</p>\n<p>GOM: This response may sound nit-picky but honestly it is not. It is not because the question reflects a misunderstanding that many share. Nobody has the power or the authority to convert another. Jesus told His followers to go and tell the world about Him. He did not command them to go and convert the world. Conversion is a matter only God and the individual can be involved in. Only God can convert someone. As a follower of Christ my job is to tell people about Him and at that only if they are open to discussing the issue. Jesus is not to be force fed to people. So yes, anyone who is open to talking about Him I am open to having that conversation with them. Again, what they do with the information I share is up to them and God.</p>\n<p><strong>5. Can someone live a good moral life if they are not religious?</strong></p>\n<p>GM: Yes, they can. Living with a good morality is not only for religious people but non-religious people as well.</p>\n<p>GOM: Sure. We all know people who are \"salt of the earth;\"people who everyone likes because to their very core they are just generous, loving human beings. Because the context of these questions is Christian Missions I can\'t just stop there with my answer though. What is not asked here is, \"So what?\" So you are a good person. How good is good enough? If you are interested in spending eternity with God in heaven then \"living a good moral life\" is not enough. You can not work nor earn your way into heaven. Jesus says, \"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.\" No level of morality or goodness on your part gets you to heaven. Only through faith in Jesus are our sinful natures wiped clean. Only by asking Jesus to be Lord in our life are we purified before God and welcomed into His presence.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Is it possible to be spiritual without following an organized religion? </strong></p>\n<p>GM: I don\'t know exactly what you mean by \"spiritual\" but I think anyone can have their own \"spiritual\" life in their own term.</p>\n<p>GOM: Sure, but, if the point of your spirituality is not serving God through faith in Jesus then why bother? I mean usually when people refer to themselves as being \"spiritual\" they refer to some mix of metaphysical thoughts, practices and traditions that they have decided is right for them. Folks who do that put themselves at the service of a small faith and a small god or gods. Again, I just find myself wondering what is the point? To sincerely live a life of faith is hard work. VERY hard work. If the god you serve is so small that you are the arbitrator of whom they are and what about them you want to honor with your belief and devotion then they are not in my opinion worth the effort. I would just chuck it all and eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.</p>\n<p>The God of the Old and New Testaments, now there is The God to get with. The Alpha and the Omega. The Beginning and the End. The Creator of all that ever was, is now and ever shall be. Google, \"the names of God.\" A number of web sites will list that display and explain the many ways God is referred to in scripture. Each one of these names describes an attribute of God. He is a big God. Way beyond full human conception. He is a God worth honoring with my faith.</p>\n<p><strong>7. What is your opinion of missionaries?</strong></p>\n<p>GM: Missionaries are a group of blessed people who are used as instruments for God\'s work in foreign countries (different culture).</p>\n<p>GOM: I will respond in the context of Chiang Mai and wow, in Chiang Mai that is a loaded question. There are just bunches and bunches of sincere people working honestly for the Kingdom of God. There is also in CM, a lot of what goes forth in the name of missions that is not in fact missions.</p>\n<p>I don\'t recall now the name of the organization but a few weeks ago I came across a pamphlet telling me that this group provided training and discipleship to the children of missionary families. This declaration brought me to full stop. They are here to be a source of discipleship to the children of missionary families? If the parents of missionary families are not prepared to disciple their own children then I must seriously question their qualifications to be on the mission field. Go home, get your house in order then come back and give it another go.</p>\n<p><img height=\"165\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thailand_bible_society.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"300\" />There are a few counseling services available to missionaries and their families. There is a financial services company catering specifically to missionaries. In CM there are quite a number of both non-profit and commercial activities aimed at serving the missionary community. There is a vibrant missionary support industry here. I am firmly in favor of free markets and the sprit of capitalism and good on those of you involved in this industry. You are not however, by traditional definition a missionary.<br />My response to this last question focuses on a negative aspect of the mission field as I observe it locally. My opinion of missionaries generally though is very favorable. I see everyday the quite real good they accomplish in people\'s lives. A sincere life spent in the service of God on the mission field is absolutely a life well lived.</p>\n<p>Thank you Gary and Gordon for being so open with your responses. People such as you have turned a fairly cynical person into a far more tolerant human being. The positive energy you bring into this world is impressive and long may it continue.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>John Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2011-06-21 03:48:43',1,'2011-06-21 03:48:43','2012-10-28 22:10:44'),(12377,70,'Impressive school, impressive owner','impressive-school-impressive-owner','A place where educating youngsters really does matter','For this month\'s blog I would like to take an in-depth look at one of the most impressive schools in Thailand: Varee Chiang Mai School ','<p>For this month\'s blog I would like to take a look at one of the most impressive schools in Thailand: <a href=\"http://www.varee.ac.th/en/index.php\">Varee Chiang Mai School </a>(VCS)</p>\n<p><img height=\"156\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ1.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />The owner and director, Ajarn Varee, has built from scratch a modern and very well equipped school that is on a par with any school in Asia in my opinion. From Kindergarten to High School there is a range of curriculums available that involve just a few hours with an English native-speaker teacher each week to an official English Program all the way to an International School annex. I was fortunate to be involved with VCS in 2004 so can see the remarkable development of the school over the last seven years.</p>\n<p>Ajarn Varee is the driving force behind the school. She is an impressive woman who balances steely determination with a warm and open personality. She gets things done. Many of the large private schools in Chiang Mai were founded by foreign missionaries in the late 19th century or early 20th century, and these missionaries had foreign finance and a large support team to help them build their schools. Ajarn Varee has built VCS practically by herself. However, VCS is not the first school she built in Chiang Mai; just behind SEE\'s building is the original Varee Kindergarten founded way back in 1978 and still going strong</p>\n<p><img height=\"247\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ7.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />VCS offers three programs to meet Thai students\' current English language abilities and future plans. The Thai program, where up to 30% of the curriculum is taught in English by Thai and foreign teachers; the English Program, which is taught exclusively by foreign teachers; and the International School annex, which follows the highly respected Cambridge IGCSE curriculum. Students at VCS leave with qualifications familiar to Thai and foreign institutions.</p>\n<p>A few months before the start of the 2004 academic year, I was given the responsibility of finding, hiring and managing a team of foreign teachers to cover the native-speaker teacher component of the coming school year at VCS. Anyone who has hired foreign teachers in Thailand knows that it\'s not always a straightforward process. An advert on ajarn.com led to an inbox full of CVs but after wading through them, the list of suitable teachers had shortened dramatically. I needed qualified teachers who were available to interview in Chiang Mai. This is very important as Thai schools want to know they are going to employ the right kind of foreigner. Foreign teachers need to look like teachers, so appearance is very important. Personality is another important qualification; a positive and easy-going nature will get you far in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The team I finally chose included a range of ages and nationalities. There was Ken the computer whiz from Canada; Suzy was a young Englishwoman, who later moved on to teach in the Middle East; North London Tony added banter to the staffroom; Simon from England is a natural with young learners and now heads the kindergarten and finally Joe who had a theatre background in England and now heads the academic side of the foreign teaching staff.</p>\n<p>I have many fond memories of my time at VCS. I remember one day I arrived at the school and was told the Minister of Education (MoE) was in a meeting with Ajarn Varee and wanted to speak to me about our foreign teachers. This was a bit of a surprise as the most exciting thing I had planned for that day up to that point was a service for my Honda Dream motorbike. But, this is Thailand, and the most unlikely events regularly happen unexpectedly at short notice. It\'s part of the charm of living here, I guess. The meeting started; I smiled a lot; I managed to look as though I knew what I was talking about and everyone seemed pleased with my contribution.</p>\n<p><img height=\"199\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ6.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />Another day I needed to escort MoE inspectors around the school while they audited the school\'s English Program (EP). VCS runs one of the few official EP programs in Chiang Mai. Many schools run foreign-teacher programs, but only a few are regulated and officially endorsed by the MoE. This was the EP\'s first inspection and a positive result was essential for the school. One of the inspectors sampled the English skills of a pratom 1 (grade 1) EP student by asking her a question in broken English. Her teachers, Joe and Simon, were standing nervously next to her, but she didn\'t need their help. Her answer had elements of present perfect, past simple and future simple verb tenses with a whisper of the passive voice communicated coherently and cohesively. The inspector\'s English skills weren\'t strong enough to follow the whole answer, but we knew the student had scored the winning goal for VCS and its EP team.</p>\n<p>A few months into the academic year I was invited to a parent-teacher evening at the school. I thought I would just need to show my face, smile a lot and sit next to the &lsquo;puu yais\' on the stage. However, when I arrived Ajarn Varee asked me to make a speech to the audience of 3,000 students, parents and teachers. I asked: \"when would you like me to speak?\" and was told: \"in around 2 minutes\". I asked: \"what would you like me to talk about?\" and was told: \"up to you\". I think I spoke about the importance of English in a century that will be dominated by China. I\'m not sure why.</p>\n<p>Recently I was invited by the head of the EP program at VCS, Daniel Maxwell, to be a judge at their EP academic competition day. Schools with official EPs across Chiang Mai were invited to send their students to compete in a variety of activities. I was one of the speech contest judges. While I was at the school, Ajarn Varee graciously allowed me to interview her for this blog. This is a transcription of that interview:</p>\n<p><strong>1. Why did you choose education as a career?</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"210\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ2.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />\"In my opinion, every business is a business which needs to earn a living, monetary profits go to companies or individuals; but it is different in the education field because our profit or success comes from students\' success, which is not measured in money. I became a teacher because God has given me heart and interest and ability to teach children. I have been interested in teaching since I was young, so I studied and became a teacher. I believe that education is a profession dedicated to building a person to become successful. As a private school, of course, we need to invest and earn our living, but the profit in terms of money I put it all into developing the quality of education at our school. For me, the greatest profit comes from students\' achievements and success in life.\"</p>\n<p><strong>2. What made you decide to build your own schools?</strong></p>\n<p>\"After I studied in an educational field including two bachelor degrees in education and a master degree in education administration, I wanted to have an ideal school which has good quality and qualified teachers who know about child psychology and development . I wanted to have a school which uses a child-centred approach and a curriculum which fulfils a child\'s development as a whole, in intelligence, moral, spirits, health and physicality, and social skills. A school which provides an excellent creative learning environment for its students and a well-designed buildings featuring hi-tech equipment and resources, these are the key to success.</p>\n<p>I realised that if I don\'t have my own school, I would never have a chance to build an ideal school. I opened my first school, Varee Kindergarten in 1978. In later years, parents started to suggest that I should open primary and secondary levels; they need a school which brings modern methods and an international perspective that can prepare their children for the future. At that time, Chiang Mai did not have a lot of choices in school, so I decided to open Varee Chiangmai School as another choice for parents in 2003. So thanks to all parents who have trust in me, we now have over 2,700 students from kindergarten to higher secondary, and 250 Thai and foreign teachers at VCS.\"</p>\n<p><strong>3. How do you see the future at VCS?</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"199\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ5.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />\"I can see that there are still rooms for potential growth in the future as the number of students continue to increase as well as new educational opportunities which will come along when the AFTA and ASEAN Community are fully implemented in 2015. Currently, we have expanded to over 40 Rais of land, and we have development plans for the years ahead.</p>\n<p>With a determination of having a school of many choices for parents who already trust us in giving their children the best quality education, I feel that I need to improve more and go beyond expectations, so I created another choice for them. Last year we opened an international secondary programme which follows the National Curriculum of the United Kingdom and students would take IGCSE and will continue to &lsquo;A\' level qualifications. We have been certified as a Cambridge International Centre by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). I see this as the area of greatest growth over the coming years because of the increasing demand for international education in Chiang Mai from both foreigners and Thais. I am planning to develop more resources and a school for our International Programme which will run a UK curriculum starting from Key stage 1. In the future, we believe that we will become a high-standard education hub in Chiang Mai.\"</p>\n<p><strong>4. What makes VCS the preferred choice, in your opinion, for parents in Chiang Mai?</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"179\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ3.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"265\" />\"We create choices for parents by having small classes of 25-35 students per class (15 per class in our International programme) with a teachers-students ratio of 1:11. Classrooms are spacious and equipped with e-learning facilities such as ActiveBoards and wireless Internet around the school. We have modern computer labs, science labs, and libraries, which are actively used as a part of lessons and in students\' spare time.</p>\n<p>Students learn in a happy environment with quality teaching staff both Thai and foreign. Not only we focus on students\' academic achievements, but we also put great emphasis on other learning aspects that will build a person as a whole. This includes languages, which we offer English as a second language and Chinese as a third language, ICT, art, music, and sports, each of which has its own learning centre. Along with all the above education, we encourage and develop students to grow with positive good health, positive spirits and moral, social skills, and intelligence, in order to become a mature member of community.</p>\n<p>At Varee Chiangmai School, we regard ourselves as \"One School. Endless Opportunities\". By offering three programmes that meet Thai Ministry of Education and international standards (a Thai programme, an English programme and an International programme); we are able to meet the needs and requirements of a vast array of parents. It is also possible for students to transfer between these programmes. This gives the students of VCS a rich pool of knowledge and experience they can draw from during their education. We are a school which offer high standards of education from the West and traditional value of respect and cultural self-awareness from the East, making VCS \"the Best of Both Worlds\".\"</p>\n<p><strong>5. If you were the education minister, what would you change about the Thai education system?</strong></p>\n<p>\"If I were the Education Minister, there are a number of things I would change. Firstly, I would look to streamline the working of the Thai Ministry of Education and all its red tape, because at present it seems that even the simplest procedure is difficult and takes time. For example, the process of acquiring teaching license for qualified foreign teachers would be simplified and made more convenient to maintain the status.</p>\n<p>Secondly, I would to encourage universities to produce new-generation teachers who are well-equipped with knowledge and new teaching methodologies. I would promote teaching professions so that teachers are highly accepted in the society, which will attract quality students to become qualified teachers for the future of our nation. At the same time, I would develop and train current teachers to adjust their teaching techniques to match with the rapidly changing world of globalisation.</p>\n<p>Thirdly, I would encourage and support participation of private schools to work with the government to help develop the education because private schools have strong potentials and ability to provide quality education. With the support from the government, I believe that, together we can bring Thailand to the front row of education countries in ASEAN.<br />Fourthly, I would look for greater investment in the nation\'s education and thoroughly provide high quality education to all students throughout the country.\"</p>\n<p>Thank you Ajarn Varee.</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/JQ4.jpg\" style=\"float: left; margin: 20px;\" width=\"300\" />I would also like to include an interview with a member of the foreign teaching staff at VCS. I first met Simon way back in the late 90s when I was travelling around India. While on an ashram in Rishikesh, I heard of a young Englishman who was seriously ill with a pretty nasty stomach complaint. A few months later while celebrating Christmas and New Year on a small island called Diu off the coast of Gujarat with a group of fellow travellers, I discovered that the Simon I had met a few days previously was the same Englishman I had heard about previously at the ashram. It was a pretty wild few weeks on Diu but as the holidays ended, my new friends all moved off in different directions. Almost by accident I met Simon again in Chiang Mai a few years later. I had been teaching for a while, but Simon was just about to start his teaching life. Here is Simon\'s take on VCS kindergarten:</p>\n<p><strong>1. Why do you teach kindergarten?</strong></p>\n<p>\"I have taught all levels from Kindergarten to adult \"one on one\" classes. Though over time I have found I really enjoy the energy in the kindergarten classroom. I have also found the young learners to be the most rewarding day in day out. You can\'t have a bad day when you are teaching kindergarten.\"</p>\n<p><strong>2. What are your responsibilities?</strong></p>\n<p>\"As head of Varee Kindergarten my main role is to oversee the English teachers and to encourage the teachers to teach creatively. I also support the Thai staff and help organize the school shows and other activities. Another main part of the job is to be available to liaise with the parents, foreign and Thai, regarding the children\'s education and any other problems within the school. It is a fun position that keeps me busy all day long.\"</p>\n<p><strong>3. What kind of qualities are you looking for in a kindergarten teacher?</strong></p>\n<p>\"Kindergarten teachers are definitely harder to find. Many people think being a kindergarten teacher is just a glorified &lsquo;baby sitter\". Well this simply is not the case. We are always looking for hard working energetic teachers that can create a fun vibrant learning environment. All the teachers in our kindergarten have to have plenty of energy and a very positive attitude towards teaching.\"</p>\n<p><strong>4. What makes VCS kindergarten special?</strong></p>\n<p>\"Varee Kindergarten is a very popular choice for many parents in Chiang Mai due to the fact that our school focuses strongly on English. From nursery to kindergarten 2 we are constantly focusing on their spoken English, with a large portion of this being project based learning. This gives the students confidence when using English. When the students move into Kindergarten 3 our main targets change and focus on their reading skills. Varee Kindergarten uses the \"Jolly Phonics\" programme that allows our Children to learn on par with students in the UK and the states.\"</p>\n<p><strong>5. What do you do outside of VCS?</strong></p>\n<p>\"My \"Out of school life\" has changed dramatically over the past couple of years. I used to have an active social life, but now I am a family man. I married my wife (who I met at Varee) about four years ago and now have a little angel of a daughter. My wife and I are also very busy with our company \"<a href=\"http://perfecthomes.co.th/\">Perfect Homes</a>\" This is a rental agency which specializes in renting properties to westerners in Chiang Mai.\"</p>\n<p>Thanks Simon.</p>\n<p>So that\'s VCS. In my opinion it\'s a truly impressive school with an impressive future. It\'s definitely an Education Beyond Tomorrow.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>John Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2011-08-14 02:14:38',1,'2011-08-14 02:14:38','2015-03-14 18:06:39'),(12378,70,'Treading the boards','treading-the-boards','Theatre is alive and well in Chiang Mai','Chiang Mai has become a sort of bohemian centre for new age people and its expatriate community is actively involved in music, yoga, dance, alternative medicine and amateur theatre.

I am going to focus on performing arts in Chiang Mai for this blog, but before I do that, I will update on what\'s been happening here. I also need to move my 2 year-old daughter to another room as she keeps sticking a yellow plastic duck in my mouth, sunglasses on my nose and talcum powder over my face and laptop.</p>\n<p>I\'m in a little discomfort at the moment. Just over a week ago my right leg experienced a high tibial osteotomy and an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The objective of this operation is to correct the results of a knee injury from 28 years ago. Basically, the bone below my knee was cut and a small wedge of bone cut from my hip was inserted in order to realign my knee joint. A titanium plate and screws are now keeping the bone together. A hamstring from behind my thigh was then severed and used to construct a new anterior cruciate ligament. Hopefully, in a few months I will be able to run again. In around a year, I should be able to play (not very well) football for the first time since I was nineteen.</p>\n<p>The floods came; I feel this was inevitable because this year\'s rainy season has been one of the wettest I can remember. Dams are full, water tables have reached the surface of the soil and rivers are working to full capacity draining excess water away from the North. Like the floods in 2005, the water, once it had burst the banks of the Ping River, rose swiftly. Fortunately for us, our school is on a high piece of land and despite just about everywhere around us being inundated with brown muddy river water, we stayed dry. The water has now receded and Chiang Mai has returned to normal.</p>\n<p>Thais are pragmatic people and when the water first started flowing into the city, vendors appeared at the edges of the brown blanket to keep sightseers nourished with their favourite snacks and sugary drinks. Quite a few Thais took out their fishing poles as well as they saw an opportunity to catch that evening\'s supper. Along the Night Bazaar a 10 kg catfish was caught.</p>\n<p>Update over and now it\'s time to look at the subject of this blog: performing arts in Chiang Mai. I guess when I arrived 12 years ago there was a relatively small foreign expat community made up mainly of long-term residents, English teachers and guys whose jobs allowed them to work for 4 months and then party hard for 2 months in Thailand. I guess the relatively small size of the community prevented enthusiastic promotion of the Arts. Well, that\'s all changed now. Chiang Mai has become a sort of bohemian centre for new age people and its expatriate community is actively involved in music, yoga, dance, alternative medicine and amateur theatre. There is today an eclectic mix of activities for an eclectic community.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Dodo_poster.jpg\" style=\"float: left;\" width=\"213\" />Back in 2007 I was &lsquo;volunteered\' to be a participant in one of the first organized theatre productions by Westerners in Chiang Mai. At that time a former professional actor and theatre company owner from the US worked part-time at our school and full-time at another school teaching English. Stephan Turner has a theatrical pedigree. His father was a familiar face on US television and cinemas during the 60s and 70s. He appeared in shows such as Mission Impossible, The Lucy Show and The Odd Couple; and movies such as M.A.S.H., The Long Goodbye, Watermelon Man and Sanford and Son. Stephan was also a professional actor and theatre production company owner in Chicago before deciding to travel the world. He founded the non-profit Gate Theatre in Chiang Mai and is the catalyst and driving force behind all its productions.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.gate-theater.com\">This first production by the Gate Theatre</a> was the Dodo Bird. It\'s set in a bar in a small nondescript industrial town somewhere in the United States fifty or so years ago. It explores how a person in this environment fails to provide for his family and what it means to reach the fringe of his society. Stephan managed to convince John Gunther, the Director of the popular AUA language Institute, to rent out AUA\'s auditorium for the duration of the play\'s run.</p>\n<p><img height=\"262\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Dodo_cast.jpg\" width=\"300\" />I played a guy who sits at the bar all through the play drinking beer and throwing out lines sort of in support of the underdog. My wife told me after the first performance that I wasn\'t acting, I was being myself. There was Dave, the barman, who refereed some of the more aggressive dialogues. James was the bully; his character verbally attacked the protagonist of the play while perhaps revealing more about his own insecurities than the deficiencies of the last character of the play. The last character was the protagonist of the play, the Dodo Bird. He was played by Stephan. I\'m sure Dave and James would agree with me that we had great fun and we might be quite good teachers, but we\'re not actors. However, our enthusiasm, Stephan\'s charismatic performance and great dialogue from the writer of the play, Emanuel Fried, ensured live theatre had arrived in Chiang Mai. It was a great success.</p>\n<p>The Gate Theatre has now put on many productions. Actors and audiences are drawn mainly from the expat community and each production has been successful. I guess this success has encouraged other groups of thespians to organize in order to scratch their performing itches. One of these other groups is The Playback Theatre Troupe. I also have a personal connection to this group as Shelley, one of the SEE TEFL assistant trainers, is an active participant. She was a professional actor in the UK and introduces many techniques from her acting experience, such as voice and presence projection, into her SEE TEFL input sessions.</p>\n<p>The Playback Theatre Troupe doesn\'t offer formal theatre. It\'s more a spontaneous collaboration between the audience, who tell the story, and the actors, who act the story. A conductor facilitates the connection between the audience and the actors. The audience is warmed up and encouraged to relate personal stories that relate to that evening\'s theme. The actors then interpret and give shape within the theme to these stories. At the end, the audience is invited to share their thoughts about the reenactment.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Playback_theatre.jpg\" width=\"300\" />The Troupe meets weekly to learn and practice comedy improvisation skills and experimental theatre techniques. Their next performance will be <a href=\"http://www.yogatree.thespacewithin.org\">at the Yoga Tree</a> in December and will be a mix of Playback Theatre, Comedy Improv and Devised Theatre. The group is open and new members are always welcome; no performance experience is necessary. <a href=\"mailto:shelleyhalstead@gmail.com\">Contact Shelley</a>&nbsp;for more details.</p>\n<p>Anyone interested in participating as part of the Gate Theatre production team or would like to read for a role in any of their shows can&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:gatetheater@gmail.com\">contact them by e-mail</a>. Actors, male and female, of all nationalities, from 18 years of age and up are being sought, as well as experienced Stage Directors. Additionally, assistant directors, costumers, stage managers and backstage helpers are also needed. No previous experience necessary. The Gate Theater Group promotes multi-ethnic casting. All nationalities are encouraged to audition and/or join their group. After they\'ve received your information you will be contacted with additional information. The Gate Theater Group is a not-for-profit social group. They do not employ workers nor do they pay salaries. All participation is on a voluntary basis, and all proceeds and donations go towards the expense of producing their shows.</p>\n<p>For me, my experience with live theatre was exciting and personally rewarding. The fear before each performance relived the start of my teaching career, as it matched the fear I experienced before each of my teaching practices on my TEFL course many years ago. Completing those first teaching practices gave me a buzz which I didn\'t experience again until the curtain fell each evening during my run as an &lsquo;actor\'. I felt alive. It was a natural high and one that I know could become addictive.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;John Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2011-10-06 16:55:21',1,'2011-10-06 16:55:21','2013-06-04 07:07:22'),(12379,70,'Temple spotting','temple-spotting','A guide to Chiang Mai\'s most popular temples','Chiang Mai is a city of temples, and these temples are at the historical and cultural heart of the city.

However, I wish someone would tell the young guys in my village it\'s finished, because each night they are still letting off fireworks late into the night.</p>\n<p>Chiang Mai is a city of temples, and these temples are at the historical and cultural heart of the city. In fact, one houses the City Pillar which gave the city its cosmological chart and hence the blueprint for its construction in 1296 by King Mengrai . There are hundreds, but for this blog, I will write a personal guide for some of the ones I enjoy visiting. First though, a short review of temple lexis:</p>\n<p>The chedi (stupa): In Chiang Mai there are two basic forms: the bell and the prasart, or stepped, style. Temple complexes were traditionally built around a chedi. The chedi, which houses relics of pious kings or monks, is built of brick or laterite and covered with stucco. As other buildings in the temple were generally constructed of wood with earth walls, chedis are often the only remaining evidence of temples built many years ago. According to Brahmanic-Buddhist cosmology, the chedi stabilizes the world, as it is the point where heaven and earth meet.</p>\n<p>The ubosot: This is a relatively small consecrated ceremonial hall that performs functions only involving monks. There are 8 boundary stones and women are generally not allowed to enter.</p>\n<p>The viharn: This is usually much larger than the ubosot as ceremonies here involve lay people and monks. It\'s often located to the east of the chedi with its front entrance facing east and the morning sunrise. Buddha statues are housed in the viharn and ubosot. Often networks of string link them in order to spread the blessings and power of the images.</p>\n<p><img height=\"278\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov5.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>At the end of Ratchdamnoen Road (walk of the King) is one of Chiang Mai\'s most famous temple complexes: Wat Phra Singh. Just about any Thai visiting the city will want to visit this temple before heading home; and because of its close proximity to Tha Pae Gate, it\'s also an essential stop on any farang tourist\'s to-do list. Thais tend to visit to make merit. They will wai the Buddha images, meditate for a few moments and often make an offering to a monk. To a Thai the temple has a function. To many farang visitors, they make great photographs.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Wat Phra Singh\'s construction dates back to the years shortly after the founding of the city. Its chedi was constructed by King Pha Yu to house the bones of his father, King Kam Fu, around the middle of the 14th century. The ubosot was added around the time King Kawila repopulated the city in the early part of the 19th century after 200 years of Burmese occupation. The main viharn was added by Khru Ba Srivichaiin the 1920s. It was bestowed the Royal temple of the first grade in 1935.</p>\n<p>The temple\'s name comes from the Phra Sihing Buddha statue. This is an especially elegant image which is based on the lion of Shakya, a statue originally housed in the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya, India. Every Songran festival, the statue is carried through the streets allowing people to show their respect by gracefully pouring water over it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov7.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>According to local belief everyone has a temple that they belong to according to the year they were born. I am a &lsquo;dragon\'; hence, my temple is Wat Phra Singh. The viharn I need to visit to make merit is the small one just behind the large one that most people visit. Fortunately for me, this viharn (Lai Kham) is exceptionally beautiful and usually quiet. Its internal walls are covered by the remains of paintings representing everyday life in the north and the ways of the Burmese court. I guess the walls were painted during the 200-year occupation of the city by the Burmese. The north wall shows the fable of Prince Sang Thong of the Golden Conch and the south one shows the fable of the Heavenly Phoenix.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>A few hundred meters away is another impressive temple complex. Wat Phra Chedi Luang was built during the 14th century by King Saen Muang Ma to enshrine the relics of his father. The chedi was originally an amazing 82 meters tall before an earthquake toppled the top in part in 1545. Despite this, it was the tallest building in Chiang Mai for a total of nearly 500 years.<br />This temple houses the City Pillar in a small building to the left as you enter the compound. The smell and smoke of burning candles and incense indicates that even today it, and the city\'s guardian spirits it houses, are highly respected by the local population.</p>\n<p>Northern Thai Buddhism is heavily influenced by animist and Brahmanic beliefs. When King Mengrai founded the city in 1296, his astrologers used this City Pillar to write the city\'s cosmological chart, and then this chart was used to plan the construction of the city. Gates and corners of the city are located at significant points and usually reflect a purpose. For example, Chang Puak (White Elephant) gate faces north, and this is the only gate the King can use to enter the city. Each year around April, there are small ceremonies at each gate and corner that pay respect to the guardian spirits that protect the city.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>This temple also houses the northern campus of Mahamakut Buddhist University. Monks here are very enthusiastic to meet and talk in English with foreign visitors. They run a very popular &lsquo;Monk Chat\' program that allows anyone to walk in off the street and have a chat with a monk. Just about any topic can be discussed including questions about religion and spiritual belief. However, the monks have no intention to convert anyone to their religion, as a person\'s karma decides which spiritual belief system they follow.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>As you walk around this complex, you will see signs warning tourists of touts. While I was taking a picture of the reclining Buddha, I witnessed a tout at work. They dress and speak English well. They are friendly and initiate seemingly harmless conversation about a tourist\'s background and plans. This &lsquo;sizing up\' allows the tout to create trust and formulate the best strategy to separate the tourist from his or her baht. My advice is if you meet one: be polite but firm, whatever you say. Do not allow them to take you anywhere such as a jeweler\'s shop, travel agent or tailor. But remember that they will not separate you from your money, unless you allow them to.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The home of the Saturday Walking Street is Wu Lai Road. Strolling around this area you will hear the sound of hammers working silver, as many people in this area earn their living from making and selling silver ware. It is also home to one of the most spectacular sights in the city: a full-size ubosot made of silver within the Wat Phra Srisupan temple complex. Work is on-going, and the temple offers an opportunity to visitors to donate money to help support its construction.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Wat Phra Suan Dok to the west of the city heading towards Doi Suthep Mountain was established in 1371 by King Ku Na who offered the royal flower garden (suan dok) to a particularly pious monk from Sukhotai in order for him to bring Sri Lankan Buddhism to Chiang Mai. The monk also brought with him an especially auspicious holy relic which broke into two pieces when he reached Chiang Mai. One part is now housed in the chedi of Wat Phra Suan Dok and the other in Wat Phra Doi Suthep.<br />Just west of the main viharn are many white chedis, and these house the remains of Northern Thai royals. They were brought to this temple from different parts of the city by Princess Dara Rasami in 1909.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov11.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Probably the most atmospheric and mysterious temple in Chiang Mai is Wat Phra Umong Suan Puthatham. This temple is located in formerly dense jungle at the base of Doi Suthep Mountain south of Suthep Road. Its origins are unclear, but it\'s thought it may have been constructed by the founder of Chiang Mai, King Mengrai, to accommodate visiting forest monks from Sri Lanka. It\'s now a famous meditation retreat heavily influenced by the teachings of Buddhadhasa Bhikkhu.</p>\n<p>The chedi is located on a large flat raised area walled in by brick. Under this are three inter-connecting tunnels used in the past for meditation and prayer. In front of the raised area are many Buddha statue heads scattered across the ground. I\'ve never discovered why.</p>\n<p>Not long after I first arrived in Chiang Mai, I was exploring the grounds on a very hot and still April day. The ground was hard and covered by a scattering of large brown and parched teak leaves. As I was walking across the flat raised area above the meditation tunnels, a teak leaf on the ground in front of my path flew up into the air, over my head and landed just behind me. It was extremely strange as there was no breeze and these leaves are relatively heavy. Just about every Thai person who listens to my story believes that I had a connection with one of the temple\'s guardian spirits that day.</p>\n<p><img height=\"261\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqnov10.jpg\" width=\"196\" /></p>\n<p>I have intentionally not written about the most famous temple in Chiang Mai. Near the top of Doi Suthep Mountain and at the end of a beautiful windy mountain road built by khru Ba Srivichai in 1935 is Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. At the top of the steps leading to the entrance is a sign written only in English that states (western) foreigners should turn right to pay an admission fee. And that\'s full-stop for me on this one.</p>\n<p>These are just a few of my favourite temples in and around the city. Whether a person is spiritual, or not, I feel they will enjoy the calmness and quiet within most temple compounds. The buildings themselves are fascinating and are the links that connect the founding of the city in 1296 to today. A day visiting temples is a great day out.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>John Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2011-11-18 00:23:09',1,'2011-11-18 00:23:09','2012-10-28 22:10:10'),(12380,70,'A splendid horticultural experience','a-splendid-horticultural-experience','A day out at one of Chiang Mai\'s finest horticultural expositions','This blog is about a beautiful and enjoyable day I recently spent at the Royal Flora Ratchaphreuk horticultural exposition in Chiang Mai.

This one is about a beautiful and enjoyable day I recently spent at the Royal Flora Ratchaphreuk horticultural exposition in Chiang Mai. It\'s a mix of pavilions, gardens, events and activities all nestled into a small valley off the irrigation road around 15km south of the city.</p>\n<p>Arriving at these sorts of places I am immediately on the defensive in case they charge me more than other Thai tax payers because of the colour of my skin and length of my nose. Fortunately, for my wife at least, there wasn\'t a tantrum from a farang at the ticket office. Entrance is a reasonable 200 baht for adults with flat or long noses. The entrance fee gives you access to the whole exposition; however, there is an extra charge of 120 baht for the big wheel and 40 baht for a jump-on-and-off electric tram which circumnavigates, without missing anything, the whole site. Children receive big discounts, so the whole day including lunch with my brood of wife and two toddlers in tow cost under 1,000 baht. This is around the cost to my dad of taking my brother, sister, mum and me to Windsor Safari Park way back in 1974.</p>\n<p>You can read the <a href=\"http://www.royalflora2011.com/2011_en/about-expo/about-us/\">objectives of the exposition from the official website</a> As this is a Thai event, the focus is on commemorating important milestones in the lives of members of the Thai royal family. Horticultural knowledge and technologies and other stuff, such as global warming, are also mentioned.</p>\n<p>The centre piece of the site is the Royal Pavilion. It\'s a stunning building and the layout of the site allows a range of breath-taking views of this building. Although it looks exactly like a Buddhist temple viharn, the interior contains no Buddha images. I guess it hasn\'t been consecrated as a religious building. Instead, where a Buddha image is normally placed is a piece of modern sculpture called the Tree of Boromaphothisom. From a brass-plate inscription just inside the entrance, it seems that the art is representative of key dates and times in the King\'s life. Adding to the theme, the walls are covered in beautiful hand-painted aspects of the King\'s life.</p>\n<p>There is a range of national and corporate gardens to view. I liked the national gardens as they were showcases of those countries. They are situated around the big wheel and Green Tower Lake. Countries which have good international relations with Thailand such as Japan, China and Bhutan had prominent positions. The USA was, unfortunately, only represented by the high-calorie soda drinks sold at the food concessions. The UK fared even worse. Surely, we could have printed some more money to pay for national gardens to promote our pursuit of peace and democracy across the oil producing nations of the world. I was so disappointed I needed a cold beer - Chang of course.</p>\n<p>The corporate gardens were just that - corporate. CP\'s had a nice restaurant area where you could indulge in plastic sausages and fetid cold meats. I am embarrassed to admit though that it all went down well with the cold Chang.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150556642781922.380259.219945291921&amp;type=3\">I have added&nbsp;a photo album to the ajarn Facebook page</a>&nbsp;as I\'m sure they are far more interesting than my ramblings and give a far better picture of the place. If anyone is up this way, Royal Flora is well worth a visit.

He admitted that in the past, Thailand had no clear plan relating to the development of the country\'s education system. In addition, Thai students had been studying subjects that did not match the demands of the labor market. He also conceded that if Thailand is to be competitive after 2015, when the free market across ASEAN opens, its education policies must adapt to meet the demands and requirements of an open labor market.</p>\n<p>English is clearly the key to success and opportunity in the new ASEAN community. It is not only the official language; it is also the &lsquo;world\' language which is used across the globe for nearly all international dialogue and trade. English will be used at all levels of Thai society from 2015. Without strong English skills, people within the ASEAN community will be prevented from progressing beyond unskilled and menial jobs. So, how is this affecting foreign TEFL teachers and Thai students?</p>\n<p>This desire for strong English-language skills is, obviously, translating into a greater demand for English instruction from foreign teachers. In Chiang Mai, I have noticed a wider range of schools and institutions contacting our school to provide teachers, teacher management and language courses. For example, we have managed the foreign language teachers at one local vocational college for several years. Within the last few months however, another vocational college has signed a contract with us to provide foreign teachers and a third will be meeting our school manager within the next few days to discuss providing teachers at their college as well. We already manage teachers at a number of schools and colleges across Chiang Mai and the North; but despite running a popular teacher-training program, we are still finding it difficult to fill all our teaching positions.</p>\n<p>Also, talking to representatives from other schools, it seems rising demand for foreign teachers is affecting them. The foreign-teacher coordinator at the <a href=\"/blogs/john-quinn/dara-academy-past-and-present/\">popular employer Dara Academy</a> told me that he received fewer applications than normal for a couple of jobs he recently advertised. This suggests, perhaps, that teachers are gaining employment faster than before or there are fewer teachers in Chiang Mai - unlikely. In fact, Dara offered one of their positions to a recent&nbsp;TEFL course&nbsp;graduate, but she declined as she had already accepted a position at another Chiang Mai school.</p>\n<p>Another course graduate (Belgian) was sitting in our school preparing his CV a few days after training finished when our manager received a call from the director of another popular private school. She needed a teacher immediately. He was whisked to the school and offered the position after a short interview. This all happened before lunch!</p>\n<p>This weekend (August 25th - 27th) sees <a href=\"http://www.aechallenge.org/ \">The ASEAN Education Challenge 2012</a>&nbsp;in Chiang Mai. Over 10,000 students, parents and teachers from across Thailand are expected to attend this event which is an opportunity for them to exchange knowledge, creativity and culture with the aim of promoting a more sustainable, inclusive and development-oriented future. M.L.

','<p>I had time between courses a few weeks ago so decided to take the family for a short break away from the city and TEFL training. Although I love Chiang Mai, it\'s always nice to climb mountain roads and drive through clouds with windows open and cold breezes filling the car. Something that surprised me many years ago was reading that the mountains north and west of the city are actually part of the eastern extremity of the Himalayan mountain range.</p>\n<p>Then again, it shouldn\'t have been a surprise to me because there is a marked similarity between some of the Himalayan hill stations I visited in India many years ago and places such as Mae Salong, Mae Hong Son and Doi Angkarn: cool temperatures, slow climbing trucks, mist, conifers, tea, rhododendrons and people wearing cheap knit wear. So, early Wednesday morning we set off. <a href=\"http://www.oamhotels.com/angkhang/photogallery/Photo.aspx?no=1\">We had booked 2 nights at the Doi Angkhan Nature Resort</a></p>\n<p>It\'s a roughly 170km journey of mainly beautiful tropical countryside driving from Chiang Mai along highways 107, 1178 and 1340 via Chang Dao and the King Naresuan stupa on 1178. The junction of the 1178 and 1340 is actually on the Burmese border, and I guess this is why check points are manned by soldiers, rather than police, along this stretch of road.</p>\n<p>There are coffee shops all along these roads supplying fresh coffee grown in these mountains as part of the current King\'s successful opium crop substitution program. The coffee\'s delicious and cheap. I\'m told, as I\'ve never visited one, that the coffee tastes better than Starbucks. There\'s certainly a better view from most of these roadside coffee places and not a paper cup in sight.</p>\n<p>The ethnic mix of people in this corner of Thailand is also very interesting. There are many hill tribe villages including Padung, who are known for their elongated necks stretched by brass coils. There are also Muslim Jin Haw (galloping Chinese) villages. These are the guys who used to control trade in this part of the world with their mule transports and knowledge of mountain passes.</p>\n<p>There are also villages of Kuomintang (KMT) Chinese nationalist soldiers forced to flee from the Communists to Thailand in 1949. Up until just a few years ago, it was the KMT and Khun Sa, the Shan warlord, who were responsible for much of the opium industry in the Golden Triangle. Incidentally, at the end of the small lane next to the SEE TEFL school in Chiang Mai is a very large and impressive house. The gates and walls are high and deny access to prying eyes. It\'s &lsquo;rumored\' the little old Chinese lady that lives there is the wife of one of Khun Sa\'s deceased lieutenants.</p>\n<p>On the road to Chang Dao are several elephant camps. There is mixed opinion about elephant camps, as many of the elephants need to be &lsquo;broken\' when young before they can be trained to perform; and this often involves beating them. I feel elephants are absolutely amazing creatures. When you get close and look in to their eyes, they lock on you and you can see intelligence. Their bulk suggests a lack of agility, but that\'s misleading as these animals dance through mud, mountain slopes and thick jungle like sure-footed Special Forces soldiers. You don\'t need to enter the camps to meet them either, as they can be seen munching on foliage just a few meters from the road\'s edge.</p>\n<p>My wife\'s family owns a successful car services company in Chiang Mai <a href=\"http://www.amnuaymotor2.com/amn2/\">named Amnuay Motor Air</a>&nbsp; Because of this, we have a top of the range car TV erupting out of the dashboard and hanging from the ceiling of our family car. Because of this, I have to listen to and watch continuous replays of my children\'s favorite cartoons whenever I\'m driving. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsmWluXpLQw\">One of these cartoons is about the war elephant of King Naresuan, Khang Kluay </a>&nbsp;Because of this, I was introduced to the story of this King and his heroic deeds. And because of this, I decided to stop at the King Naresuan stupa on our drive through the mountains.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqno1.jpg\" width=\"196\" /></p>\n<p>This stupa was built, it\'s said, as an act of merit making by his siblings to this great Thai King who died in Wiang Haeng close to here in 1605 while campaigning against the Burmese. I knew little about this King until recently. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVbAKJ_N6Fo\">There have been a few Thai movies about his life story</a> which I watched but cynically dismissed the action and heroics as exaggerated. However, I have been researching, and it seems the movies are a fair reflection of history. This Thai King was truly amazing. It\'s a story all Thais know and a story foreigners who live here should know as well. Therefore, I\'ve decided to dedicate the rest of this blog to his story.</p>\n<p><img height=\"186\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqno3.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>King Naresuan is one of the most revered monarchs of Thai history. His victories over the Burmese during the years around the end of the 16th Century prevented Burma from consolidating their earlier military victories and hence extending further their empire to encompass large swathes of Siam. He also allied in the north Siam with the Shan, or Thai Yai, and the Lanna Kingdom of Chiang Mai, which led them to achieve independence albeit fleetingly from the Burmese empire centered on Pegu. In all senses of the word, he truly is a national hero to Thais.</p>\n<p>King Naresuan grew up as a Siamese prince in the Royal Burmese court at Pegu. He was a hostage held by the Burmese King, Bayinnaung of the Toungoo Dynasty, in order to prevent the prince\'s father, King Maha Thammarachathirat , from launching a rebellion against Burmese political influence of Ayudhya. While a captive, the prince, along with other royal hostages from the Burmese empire, was trained in the art of war by Portuguese mercenaries and the Burmese. A fellow student and childhood friend was the grandson of King Bayinnaung, Prince Minchit Sra. The prince\'s paths would fatally cross later at the battle of Nong Sarai (near Suphan Buri).</p>\n<p>The battle of Nong Sarai in 1592 was a pivotal battle of the Siam-Burmese wars of this period. Although vastly outnumbered, the Thais fought ferociously against their enemy. However, in opposition to the vastly superior numbers of the Burmese army, they started to retreat and were close to collapse. At that moment, in an almost unbelievable example of valor and leadership, King Naresuan riding on his royal war elephant Khang Kluay sought out Prince Minchit Sra while fighting ferociously through ranks of enemy soldiers.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqno4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>When their elephants met, combat became face-to-face with both leaders standing on the heads of their elephants lurching at each other with sword and lance. It\'s said the fight was so ferocious that soldiers of both armies stopped fighting in order to stare in awe at the spectacle. A final slice of sword cut completely through the Burmese leader\'s body from shoulder to hip, and Siam had won the day. Without a leader, the Burmese stopped fighting and retreated to Pegu. King Naresuan became a Thai hero, and the date of the battle (January 18th) was adopted as a national holiday which is celebrated each year as Royal Thai Armed Forces Day.</p>\n<p>Always associated with King Naresuan is fighting male chickens (I\'ve avoided saying &lsquo;fighting cocks\' as it just didn\'t look or sound appropriate). At memorials to him around the country, there will be small concrete male chickens surrounding the spirit house. The reason for this is that while a captive of the Burmese, his fighting chicken beat the Burmese champion. Instead of accepting a material reward for winning, he requested freedom for Siam. Whether this story is true, or not, it certainly adds more patriotic fervor to his story.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/jqno2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>It wasn\'t until 1767 that the Burmese were militarily strong enough to launch a new campaign against Siam. This time there was nobody with the tactical genius and personal courage of King Naresuan to lead the Siamese and Ayudhya was sacked - but that\'s another story. It\'s also a story that led indirectly to the start of the current Chakri dynasty of Thai Kings.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p>John Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2012-10-28 22:27:59',1,'2012-10-28 22:27:59','2012-10-29 12:12:00'),(12417,68,'Old things from the village','old-things-from-the-village','Keeping the memories of those olden, golden days alive','My foreign friends and students who know my life habits ask me why I love old things; old houses, old wood furniture, and even pieces of an old rice mill that I keep underneath my old wooden house in Bangkok.

It seems strange, doesn\'t it? My western friends think that all Thai people, especially those who came from the village to Bangkok like me, must love new Euro-style and American things because they don\'t want to think about the old days when they were poor.\n<p>Last week I went to a child\'s funeral in my village, my little nephew, a long way from Bangkok. It was very sad. But riding back on the train at night through the rain the scene that came to my mind was a happy one, living in a simple Thai village in the 1960s, 40 years ago, with my grandmother telling me stories before I went to sleep, scenes that seem to me now like an old black and white movie. Thai kids were kept busy in those days and I like to think of the special times I was able to go with my little brothers Chai and Chart to the rice paddy, to catch crabs to bring home to mother. At the end of the day we would take our catch back, I would give Chart the job, which he loved, of carrying the bucket with our catch, back to our old wood house We loved our house, it was big, my grandmother\'s old house, and friends and relatives would visit and stay with us, and when the Communists came even families from the mountains came to stay with us. These were my happy times.</p>\n<p>But my little brother Chart was not a strong boy and when he was about seven he began to get sick. I remember him lying in bed and asking me to bring him one, just one, tamarind and when I told him mother said he could not eat tamarind, it was not good for him, he begged me bring him just one half, or even only one bite.</p>\n<p>Like everyone in those days my family went to see the fortune teller to ask him why this sickness had come to my little brother and what we should do about it. This witch doctor -- I call him that now with anger in my heart -- said that there was a ghost that lived under our house and if we wanted Chart to get better we had to tear down the house and move someplace else. My grandmother did not want to do that, it had been her house, and when the house came down and the wood sold off she was the last to leave. She did not want to leave the room where she and I used to sleep and she would tell me my nightly stories, and I didn\'t want to leave either, but I had to obey my father.</p>\n<p>So we moved into the new house. It was made from concrete blocks, and had only one floor, and my grandmother became sad, and I hated the insects that came into the house and worried about the danger of strangers coming the windows at night. And then little Chart died anyway, he never got his tamarind. My grandmother stopped taking me on our wonderful trips to the market town, and not long after she died too. During these funerals my mother stayed in her room and would not talk. After that, my life changed and things were not the same anymore. I was becoming a teenager and always worrying about how to stay in my school. My father wanted me to stay home and work. Life was a struggle and I knew that happy days were gone.</p>\n<p>I began to study English hard in those days and I learned many of the new ideas and many special words that English has to explain the world. For example unlike Thai, where we have just one word for house, \"bahn\", English had different words for house and home and based on my experience I now knew now that they were not the same thing.</p>\n</p>\n<p>I came to Bangkok when I was nineteen years old, I didn\'t miss the village much because the part of it that I kept in my heart, my life in the old house, I brought with me to Bangkok. At university I had to live in a big concrete building but even though I had little money in those days I used to go to the markets and buy old village things. My apartment became crowded wtih old things, brass latches and betel nut boxes and old window frames, and I told myself that someday I would have my old house back again. And so I do, and in recent times I have even started a new business, based on the things I collected and my memory of the old house. But that\'s a story for another time.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\n<p>Auntie Nim grew up in a small village a long walk from the nearest paved road.

Which ones did I enjoy? Were there any neighborhoods that I particularly hated? What were the advantages and disadvantages of each community that I spent time in? Perhaps it would be interesting to draw some comparisons.</p>\n<p>I arrived in Bangkok in the early 90\'s and spent the first couple of years flitting from apartment to apartment and guest house to cheap hotel in the lower Sukhumwit area - between soi 4 and soi 22. Don\'t forget that these were the days well before the sky-train and underground systems made life so much easier for us all - so getting around required either walking or haggling for non-metered taxis.</p>\n<p>In my opinion, this area - at least at first glance - has changed very little over the last two decades. OK, there\'s a much larger choice of decent restaurants, coffee shops and fast food outlets, but it\'s still two sides of busy main ride dominated by footpath vendors and slow-moving tourists. It can be an infuriating part of Bangkok to negotiate at the best of times.</p>\n<p>I think like many new arrivals, I decided to settle in the lower Sukhumwit area because I was looking to ease myself gently into Bangkok life and still wanted to be in touching distance of restaurants with familiar names and be able to deal with Thais who had a better grasp of English.</p>\n<p>For most of this period, I lived in an apartment on Soi 22. It was an interesting soi in those days - a combination of new apartment buildings, mom and pop grocery stores and the main entertainment / bar area centered around Washington Square. Even back then it was an area heaving with farang English teachers taking advantage of apartment rentals in the 4,000 baht a month price range. Every day you would see the same old faces going to work in typical teacher attire, returning home to their &lsquo;shoebox studios\' late in the evening and then hitting the bars.</p>\n<p>I don\'t look back on my time spent living in that neighborhood with any great fondness. I quickly became jaded with walking up and down the busy Soi 22 to get to the Sukhumwit Road bus stops. I grew to despise the temptation of the Washington Square bars because I had far too much free time. And the devil definitely makes work for idle hands to do. I got sick of being constantly stared at every time I went in and out of my apartment building by those whose life revolved around sitting on a bench by the entrance and gossiping with their little gathering of work-shy groupies.</p>\n<p>Personally, choosing to live in a &lsquo;foreigner ghetto\' is not something I would do again. Be it sitting and chatting on the concrete steps of your apartment or perched on a bar-stool, listening to all those hard-luck stories can wear you down. I also think that much of that farang negativity can rub off on the local Thais. And as time progresses you can see the attitudes of the local shopkeepers and the motorcycle taxi drivers begin to worsen as they encounter one irate foreigner too many.</p>\n<p>In a fit of nostalgia, I took a walk down Sukhumwit 22 several months ago. The whole street looked shabby and unloved and by Christ, how many massage shops do you need on one, single soi? Apart from the odd bar toughing it out, Washington Square has all but disappeared and even Soi 22\'s &lsquo;jewel in the crown\' - The Imperial Queen\'s Park Hotel - seemed to stand forlorn. There was of course the usual gaggle of taxi driver touts wondering where their next well-heeled punter was going to come from.</p>\n<p>In the grips of the current recession, the businesses here looked to be suffering more than most. Surprising really, for a soi that\'s located in the shadow of two terrific shopping malls - <a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/check-in-at-terminal-21/\">Terminal 21</a> and The Emporium. And within touching distance of the BTS and MRT transportation systems.</p>\n<p>I genuinely hoped that it would be another twenty years before I ventured down there again.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know for the life of me what I was thinking at the time, but having had enough of living in a neighborhood with a large expat community, I decided to move to an even bigger one. I packed all my belongings into a couple of battered suitcases and moved the few miles to the notorious backpacker ghetto of Soi Ngam Duphli, off Rama 4 Road. Talk about jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. I ended up living there for three years and I think it\'s fair to say I hated almost every minute of it.</p>\n<p>Looking back, I was probably intent on making my monthly teaching salary stretch a little further. There were also plenty of cheap restaurants in the area serving Thai and foreign food and Lumpini Park - one of Bangkok\'s few green spaces - was just a 20-minute walk away.</p>\n<p>The Soi Ngam Duphli / Soi Sri Bamphaen neighborhood was a place for lost souls. Perhaps I was one of them myself but I steered away from hitting any of the numerous local drinking dives and nursing a bottle of cheap Thai whisky until chucking out time - as most of the foreigners in that area seemed to do.</p>\n<p>I thought I had seen and heard it all mixing with the down-on-their-luck foreigners in Soi 22 but the farangs in Ngam Duphli were in a different league. You could get a room at the Boston Inn for 50 baht a night provided you were willing to lug buckets of water from a nearby standpipe in order to take a shower. I\'ll let you draw your own conclusions as to the type of resident who stayed there.</p>\n<p>I had started teaching full-time and was holding down a respectable job. I seemed to be the only foreigner who walked around in a shirt and tie. It didn\'t give me the idea I was better than anyone else but it certainly singled me out as being &lsquo;different\'. Apart from the weekly session in the brilliant Wong\'s Bar - where I did happen to make some good friends - I generally kept myself to myself.</p>\n<p>Again, purely for old time\'s sake, I took a wander down Soi Ngam Duphli several months ago. A lot of the bars and restaurants have been given a face-lift and it even has a nice, shiny seven-eleven convenience store, but you can\'t polish a turd. I shook my head and wondered what I ever saw in the place.</p>\n<p>After five years of living among the foreigners and with a bit more money around me, I scoured the Bangkok Post classifieds and made a bold move to an apartment building in the Petchburi Road / Klongtan Intersection area, near Ramkhamhaeng Road, where I ended up living for another three years. The main reason I moved here though was because I had secured a teaching job at a private school nearby.</p>\n<p>Although I was now splashing out 7,000 baht a month on rent for a one-bedroom apartment (more than double what I had ever spent on rent in the past) I soon found out that I had moved to one of the most congested areas of the city.</p>\n<p>No matter what time of day or night. The moment you stepped out of the apartment building, you would be instantly confronted with four lanes of traffic, all waiting impatiently for the traffic lights at the top of Soi Ekkami to change. Getting anywhere was a nightmare! I think it\'s fair to say that I loved the apartment I lived in - but hated the neighborhood. Apart from a nearby branch of Foodland supermarket, it had absolutely nothing going for it. I lived for the weekends when my girlfriend (now my wife) would pick me up in her car and I could escape the concrete and steel greyness of that particular section of Petchburi Road.</p>\n<p>Ramkhamhaeng Road, which was just around the corner as the crow flies, was far more attractive. It had a couple of decent shopping malls and a good vibe, largely due to the student population from the nearby ABAC and Ramkhamhaeng universities. However, getting there required walking to the main Petchburi Road, crossing the footbridge and then waiting for a bus at a crowded bus-stop. Eventually the bus would arrive and you would crawl at a snail\'s pace up Ramkhamhaeng. Most of the time, I never felt it was worth the effort. I did an awful lot of &lsquo;staying at home\' during those three years.</p>\n<p>With the apartment building going rapidly downhill thanks to a change of management and my desire to start teaching private students at home, I decided to look for a house to rent and also upgrade my living conditions. I found a beautiful home on the Seri Housing Estate, just off Rama 9 Road. I lived there for five years and while the neighborhood had its downsides, it was easily the nicest area of Bangkok that I had the pleasure to live in.</p>\n<p>I fell in love with the neighborhood the moment I clapped eyes on it. It was like living in the countryside. I was on a quiet soi flanked by plenty of trees and surrounded by neighbors who took great pride in their properties. When I opened my front gate, I looked on to nothing but empty fields. OK, I was isolated. To get to the &lsquo;civilisation\' of Ramkhamhaeng Road required a brisk 5-minute walk and then a 10-minute journey by local songthaew, but it was a small price to pay for my own little slice of paradise.</p>\n<p>Because I was virtually the only foreigner living in the vicinity, I started to make friends with my Thai neighbors. The lovely middle-aged couple who ran the corner shop took me under their wing as did the husband and wife a few doors down, both teachers at the nearby university. Then there was the charming woman and daughter who ran the local laundry shop and made sure my shirts were always clean and well-pressed. They were never nosey or intrusive but they were people I could always turn to if I needed help. Standing outside my front gate with a mug of steaming hot coffee and just shooting the breeze with my Thai neighbors are memories I will always cherish.</p>\n<p>If it comes down to the choice of living in a Thai or a farang community, I know which one I prefer. And your Thai language skills will improve no end!</p>\n<p>This is not to say that everything was peaches &lsquo;n\' cream living on a Thai housing estate or &lsquo;moobarn\' as they are known. One of the biggest problems - and farangs have mentioned this aspect of moobarn living on many a discussion forum - are those damn stray dogs or &lsquo;street-dogs\'.</p>\n<p>Thankfully, I never had a street-dog chase me down the soi and sink its teeth into my arse, but it wasn\'t for want of trying. I quickly got to learn where the &lsquo;trouble-spots\' were or where the packs of stray dogs would gather. And sometimes that meant taking a considerable detour to the laundry shop when I realized I had no clean shirts for work on Monday. Take it from me, those four-legged fuckers can make your life hell on earth.</p>\n<p>Even though I have been gone from this neighborhood for eight years now, I rarely make the trip back. Many of the pet dogs I fussed over and the people I befriended have either died or moved away. I want to remember things just as they were - nigh on perfection.</p>\n<p>And now I\'m living in my fifth, and probably final, Bangkok neighborhood. Well, Samut Prakarn, on the outskirts of the city if we\'re being geographically accurate about things. Moving here was something of a &lsquo;trade-off\' because my girlfriend and I got married, we got given some land - and we built a house on it.</p>\n<p>The area around the Theparak Intersection is very much a working-class Thai neighborhood, with lots of cheap apartment buildings providing housing for thousands of engineers and staff working on the local industrial estates. I\'ve swapped the fresh air of Rama 9 for something far more congested and polluted, but as I said - it\'s been a trade-off. When you go out shopping, you\'re paying Thai prices.</p>\n<p>There\'s a good selection of street-food but a lack of quality restaurants and coffee shops. There are some good shopping malls and supermarkets but all require a 10-minute taxi ride. It\'s an area where farangs are still quite a novelty so you do get stared at and you do get the odd Thai hoodlum shouting something funny at you just to impress his mates. I guess I\'ve learned to just roll with the punches - and such incidents no longer irritate me.</p>\n<p>So back to the original question - \"what should he look out for when deciding on the best Bangkok neighborhood to live in?\" The answer is \"the one that suits you best\" Some of us like to live near work. Some of us want to be touching distance to a McDonalds. Some of us like to live among our own kind. Some like to immerse themselves in a Thai community. It\'s all about whatever floats your boat</p>\n</p>','','2012-11-04 01:31:59',1,'2012-11-04 01:31:59','2013-02-10 20:08:00'),(12634,57,'How a foreigner can buy real estate in Thailand','how-a-foreigner-can-buy-real-estate-in-thailand','Yes indeed, foreigners can certainly invest in the Thai property market','Foreigners have been buying real estate in Thailand regularly for the last three decades and more and more invest in Thai real estate each year. This would not be possible if foreigners were being consistently ‘cheated\' out of their money by the laws of the land.','<p>In my last blog I discussed how now is possibly one of the most opportune times to buy real estate in Bangkok in recent history. With&nbsp;the opening up of the ASEAN economies as the AEC&nbsp;due in 2015 and the ongoing and relatively enthusiastic expansion of both the MRT and BTS train systems around Bangkok, these two factors combined should lead to not only a boom in the Bangkok economy, but also an increase in property prices in Bangkok and also in other areas of Thailand.</p>\n<p>However to take advantage of this, expats have to buy into the Thai real estate market. Therefore this blog reviews how foreigners have been investing in real estate in Bangkok - and many expat teachers have already started.</p>\n<p>After posting the previous blog I had a few expats new to Thailand asking me how they can go about purchasing real estate in Thailand, so in order to answer those questions and to cover potential questions from other readers, I thought it best to write&nbsp;a blog devoted to the topic.</p>\n<p>Buying a condominium in Thailand as a foreigner is the easiest and most straightforward method to invest in real estate. Due to the 1979 Thailand Condominium Act, foreigners can own condominiums anywhere in Thailand 100% outright, as long as the building has not already sold its 49% foreign quota. Each condominium in Thailand when registering with the land department designates 49% of its units for sale for potential purchase by a non-Thai buyer.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/your-contributions-always-welcome/\">If you enjoy visiting the ajarn website, we would love your contributions. Here are some of the ways you can get involved</a></h3>\n<hr />\n<p>This way at least 51% of the building always remains in the hands of local Thai people, however individual units that make up the other 49% can be sold to foreigners outright. Therefore it is legal for a non-Thai, non-resident foreigner to own 100% of a freehold condominium in Thailand. And in fact 17% of condominiums owned in Bangkok are owned by foreign investors.</p>\n<p>There are of course stipulations and these mainly concern finance. Thai banks in general will not want to lend to foreigners. In fact even foreigners with a history in Thailand i.e. employment history, work permits and marriage certificates can struggle to get financing from a Thai bank in order to purchase property, however it is not impossible and with perseverance some foreigners do succeed. If however you do not have history of the above then it would be more practical to borrow from a bank in your own country with which you have a record.</p>\n<p>Whichever way you obtain financing, and whether it be for a townhouse, detached house or condo, if it is going to be in a foreigner\'s name the money needs to be brought in from overseas. Even if a mortgage can be obtained from a Thai bank, they will bring the money in from overseas and end up lending the money in a foreign currency such as US Dollars or Singapore Dollars. For more details on purchasing a condo in Thailand <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/buying-a-bangkok-condo/\">please read this&nbsp;info</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Some expat teachers however have already got married, settled down and started a small family, and often therefore require something larger than a condominium. By possibly sacrificing the communal swimming pool and other facilities such as a fitness area - often found in mid to high level condominiums in Thailand occupied by expats - some expat teachers opt to buy townhouses or detached houses. Of course these provide the buyer with often not only two or more levels, but more rooms and space. And in some cases the chance to have a garden or yard, suitable for young children and/or a pet. However this comes at a price.</p>\n<p>Unlike condominiums, which of course are covered by the Thailand Condominium Act of 1979, townhouses and detached houses are &lsquo;landed\', they essentially contain an area of Thai land underneath them or around them. As it is not possible for foreigners to own Thai land, then an expat wishing to buy a townhouse or detached house has&nbsp;two options. And split across teachers I know that have bought a townhouse or detached house in Thailand, both options are appealing given individual circumstances.</p>\n<p>The first option I will cover quickly and briefly as it is not really relevant to this article, but realistically it would be inappropriate not to&nbsp;mention it. This option is often taken up when the expat or foreign investor knows that he has a stable and solid relationship with their spouse or partner that they can trust. And therefore the property is bought 100% in the Thai person\'s name and of course this also opens up the options for finance from a Thai bank.</p>\n<p>Option 2 however is the method chosen by foreign investors that feel they do not have the above luxury. They are open to start a company in Thailand in&nbsp;which they can own 49% of the shares. This may sound unappealing, but with the other shares split over 7 or more locals and more than often none of them having any voting rights or knowledge of each other, most foreign investors realize that the company is controlled by them. This means that the property purchased can be placed under the umbrella of the company and therefore controlled by the foreign director.</p>\n<p>As unusual as a lot of the above sounds to the first time reader, and as &lsquo;fishy\' some of the details come across on the initial read, the systems do in fact work and the savvy expat or foreign investor can and regularly does successfully buy and sell real estate in Thailand. Foreigners have been buying real estate in Thailand regularly for the last&nbsp;three decades and more and more invest in Thai real estate each year. This would not be possible if foreigners were being consistently &lsquo;cheated\' out of their money by the laws of the land.</p>\n<p>For more information on investing in real estate in Thailand please feel free to <a href=\"mailto:neil@easyhomes.tv\">contact me by e-mail</a>, or <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/bangkok-real-estate-opportunities/\">read the following blog</a> covering many of the topics mentioned above in more detai<a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/investing-in-bangkok-real-estate-apartments-and-condos-summary/\">l</a></p>','','2012-11-10 05:23:22',1,'2012-11-10 05:23:22','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(12684,21,'Book review','book-review1','The essential guide to teaching English and living in Thailand','As they neared the end of their first year in Thailand, Michael and Sarah suddenly realized that while chatting with new arrivals, they were answering the same questions over and over again.

Jealous because I\'ve had the desire to write a similar book for a long time - and it\'s only laziness and sheer lack of motivation that have held me back. Apprehension because the authors - Michael Plews and Sarah Abbot - actually only spent one year teaching in Thailand. Sarah and Michael are now both drawing stick figures on a whiteboard somewhere in Taiwan so they couldn\'t possibly have thought Thailand was that great a place for an English teacher or surely they would have stayed for longer.</p>\n<p>So I\'ll confess I was ready to pick holes in the book wherever I could. These guys wouldn\'t know what it\'s like to be in an academic director\'s shoes and not have three of your teachers turn up on the first day of term. They wouldn\'t have experienced the delights of interviewing a new teacher and almost passing out from the alcoholic fumes. And Ok they haven\'t, but credit where it\'s due, the two authors learned an awful lot in their twelve months here and I was amazed with how much they managed to cram into 134 pages. They\'ve set about creating the ultimate guide for new teachers in Thailand and they have succeeded on virtually every count.</p>\n<p>Background first and it\'s a familiar story I suppose. Sarah and Michael were both working in the UK logistics industry. Both led comfortable lives with steady incomes and a nice apartment. Both realized that something was missing. The rest you can guess. They took an online TEFL course, booked a one-way ticket to SE Asia and ended up in the Thai city of Hat Yai, where they spent one year teaching English.</p>\n<p>As they neared the end of that first year, Michael and Sarah suddenly realized that while chatting with new arrivals, they were answering the same questions over and over again. So they began to compile a guide to help others who might want to give TEFL in Thailand a try. The result was the &lsquo;The Essential Guide to Teaching English and Living in Thailand\'</p>\n<p>To quote Michael from the introduction - \"An important point to raise is that this book aims to give you all you need to know to make an informed decision, but it does NOT make your decisions for you. When looking for advice, you\'ll often find that people will tell you that the way they did something is the only way to do it. While it might be comforting to have someone telling you the &lsquo;right\' thing to do, please remember that there is rarely a black-and-white right or wrong answer, and what might be the best for you isn\'t necessarily the same as for other people\"</p>\n<p>The &lsquo;tone\' of the writing is what I most enjoyed about the book. Opinions are never forced upon you. There is always a sense of &lsquo;well, this worked for us and it just might work for you\'. Michael is absolutely spot on. Teaching in Thailand is never black and white. It\'s always fifty shades of grey.</p>\n<p>So what does the book actually contain? Here\'s a walk-through guide of sorts. The book begins with a description of the qualifications you\'ll need before moving on to the types of institutes that are available to a teacher in Thailand including a lengthy and informative section on freelance or private teaching. The best time of year to look for jobs and an analysis of typical salaries also get a mention. And is it best to find a job online or apply directly when you\'re in the country? Michael and Sarah go through all those basics in more than enough detail.</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t let opinions on TEFL forums sour your judgement of a school\" says Michael, who then goes on to discuss professionalism at job interviews and what to look out for to make sure you wind up working at a decent place.</p>\n<p>Working for agencies is always a hot topic and deserves a place in any book about teaching in The Land of Smiles. The authors have the perils and pitfalls of&nbsp;teacher agencies&nbsp;covered as well. And as you would expect, there are certainly downsides as well as some good points, likewise for working in a city versus&nbsp;chalking the boards&nbsp;in rural areas. Which comes out on top and for what reasons?</p>\n<p>Later in the book, the authors discuss the different types of Thai student and their motivation (or lack of it) for learning English. We get an in-depth look at teacher contracts, health insurance, TEFL courses, mobile phones, attitudes to skin color, setting yourself up with an apartment, opening a bank account, buying clothes, staying healthy and getting around Thailand,</p>\n<p>I can already visualize the old hands reading this review and muttering \"who on earth doesn\'t know this stuff?\" but the book is not aimed at them. This is a book for the new arrival. And for the newbie &lsquo;fresh off the boat\' it\'s a treasure trove of essential info.</p>\n<p>There is the usual section on Thai culture and etiquette - the &lsquo;wai\', the respect for the royal family, and what to do with your chopsticks - but while not exactly dismissed or breezed over, the authors do a good job of explaining it in layman\'s language and avoiding over-fussy guide-book speak.</p>\n<p>They say that you\'re never too old to learn and for that reason I particularly enjoyed the section on teaching in Thai Muslim schools - something both Sarah and Micheal experienced down south. I could barely look as Michael described while in one of his early classes he used the sacred Qur\'an to rest his paper on and provide him with a sturdier writing surface. OK, an almost unforgiveable cultural faux pas but something that\'s easily done I would imagine in the heat of battle when you\'re trying to control fifty rowdy teenagers in a classroom. Thankfully one of the students sitting in the front row discreetly pointed out the error of the teacher\'s ways and face was saved all round.</p>\n<p>I admired Michael immensely for putting this particular episode in the book. If the authors wanted to present a warts-and-all guide to teaching in Thailand, this is stuff that just has to go in. Anything less is shortchanging the reader.</p>\n<p>Shortchanged is most certainly not how you are going to feel acquiring this terrific book. It\'s available on Amazon Kindle for freemans and even the regular price on Amazon is no more than about four dollars. Four bucks for all that info. To use a well-worn clich&eacute; - for a new arrival, it could be the best four bucks you ever spent\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Teaching-English-Thailand-ebook/dp/B009XR5JEI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1351415613&amp;sr=8-4\">Order the book from Amazon.com</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/books12.jpg','2012-11-12 20:47:43',1,'2012-11-12 20:47:43','2012-11-13 12:12:44'),(12693,59,'Remembering the terrible floods','remembering-the-terrible-floods','We will never forget the horrors of late 2011','A lot of Thais said the 2011 floods in Thailand were the worst in 50 years.

Factories and businesses, agricultural crops and countless properties were damaged at a huge cost. Anyone who experienced it will never forget.</p>\n<p>It was midnight on the 26th October when I was awakened by sounds of machines and thuds of heavy equipment from the 6th floor of my apartment. I thought it was a car pileup but when I looked out of my window, I saw trucks, cranes and bulldozers building a barrier of clay on the right-hand side of the road.</p>\n<p>In the morning I went out to buy something for breakfast. Many young and old people had formed a line to pile sandbags to stop floodwater from flowing across Watkoo Road and Southern areas of Pak Kret. Several photographers were taking pictures of the scene and capturing the anguished faces of the people. At noon the barriers were finished but water continued to rise over the following days rising to chest deep in some places.</p>\n<p>Water had reached knee-level in our apartment building our apartment floor. I went to Pak Kret market for some essential provisions. Fortunately, motorcycles could still carry passengers but the road was very muddy. We had to stop to give way to working cranes fixing and elevating barriers An unbelievable four kilometers of barrier had already been built.</p>\n<p>I went to 7-Eleven and Lotus to buy canned goods, rice, noodles, sugar, and other basic things. The shelves were empty from the panic buying. I went farther to Ngamongwan but the things I wanted to buy were also gone. In fact households and owners of business establishments in Pak Kret market and in all areas had to build concrete barriers or piled sacks of sandbags half a meter high.</p>\n<p>When I came back to my apartment there was already a wooden bridge attached to the concrete wall separating our apartment from another lot. This also helped the residents near the Chaopraya River to save their pets and personal belongings.</p>\n<p>The next day I went to Park Kret market. When I came back home, the road was blocked and vehicles were being re-routed. Instead of taking five minutes to get home, we took nearly an hour. When I was nearing my place, our sawng thew (taxi-bus) was stopped by a traffic cop because the flood current was too strong. Part of the barrier was broken. All the remaining passengers had no choice but to walk. I walked 400 meters, wading in brown knee-deep water.</p>\n<p>Surfing the internet, I came across an advertisement for volunteer work at Don Mueang. An Englishman there was doing an outreach program for children affected by flood. I decided to go and offer my services, but on the way, I couldn\'t pass through Chaengwattana road near Laksi so I had to come home.</p>\n<p>Since I would be going back to work in a few weeks, I wanted to check if roads going to my school in Sainoi would be okay. I took the 134 bus to Bangyai. Upon reaching Ta it, the people got off and transferred to Bus 516. The bus ran for only a few meters before everyone had to get off again.</p>\n<p>I followed the crowd and I saw all sorts of vehicles going in all directions loading people as busy as ants. I saw a pick-up truck facing towards Bangyai. People hopped in and I hopped in too. With my little knowledge of Thai, I just kept quiet and hoped they would not realise I was not Thai.</p>\n<p>The truck proceeded to Bangyai along the flooded road. The pick-up truck stopped and picked up every man or woman who hailed a lift and could manage to hang on to the vehicle. The truck looked like a moving Christmas tree moving at a snail\'s pace through the knee-deep water. I saw boats and vehicles of all kinds loaded with people. When we reached Bangyai, it was an incredible sight. I had never seen Bangyai that way iin five years. It was like a brown sea with hundreds of castaways, half of their bodies were under water waiting for a boat to rescue them.</p>\n<p>People were appearing from all directions with life-vests while others had none. Motorboats of all types were being hired to transport people. I changed my mind not to check my school so I went back home without getting off from the truck. Some passengers offered a fare but the driver wasn\'t all that interested in taking people\'s money. He just wanted to help as best he could.</p>\n<p>I was relieved when I arrived in Bang Bua Thong. I took bus number 134 and got home safely. It took another two weeks for me to wait until school opened and for classes to begin.</p>\n<p>When I look back, the 2011 flooding was like a bad dream. I witnessed the difficulties for pet owners. There were sightings of crocodiles looking for some tasty human flesh. Snakes got into houses, furniture rotted, electrical appliances were ruined. Most importantly, lives were lost. Many people felt anxious and helpless. No one knew when the floods would subside and the nightmare would be over. I was marooned on an island uncertain of my future.</p>\n<p>After a month, things improved in Central Thailand and the water subsided. Just as the government said it would. Remnants of the flood lay all around - from plastic to paper, wood, cans, clay and all sorts of detritus - lying on the side of the roads ready for the street cleaners to do their job.</p>\n<p>A week later and my classes started. When I returned to my school, a supposedly 30- minute drive took two hours. When I reached my school, my eyes widened in surprise. Of all the places in Nonthaburi, my school was as dry as a bone. It was lucky to be only one of three elementary schools in Sainoi district to be unaffected by floods.</p>\n<p>The Nonthaburi local government was generous enough to pay the foreign teachers for November even though we failed to report for work (but we paid it back from December to March).</p>\n<p>During this disaster, the Thai people adopted their best \"Jai yen yen \" (cool heart) attitude and this made it easier for them to accept what had happened. <br />So floods of 2011 goodbye - and may you remain as a nightmare never to haunt us again.</p>\n</p>','','2012-11-12 23:02:02',1,'2012-11-12 23:02:02','2012-11-13 13:01:03'),(12735,53,'Coming back home','coming-back-home','Can second time around ever be as good as the first?','Returning to live in Thailand is quite different from coming to live here for the first time.

Instead of everything one encounters seeming exotic, one mostly senses the familiar. On return, one doesn\'t go through either the tourist or culture shock stage and instead one tries to quickly slide back into life while updating one\'s local knowledge.</p>\n<p>Upon return, I do notice both changes and continuities in life and culture in Thailand, although how much change is due to actual changes in Thailand and how much is due to the changes in me, as the perceiver, is impossible to tell.</p>\n<p>The pace of change here seems to have slowed down from the go-go days of the 1980s and 1990s. Having been recently working in the rapidly growing economies of Vietnam and China, the people in Thailand these days seems a little less optimistic and ambitious in comparison. The \"anything is possible\" attitude which seemed to permeate both university classrooms and workplaces throughout the capital of Bangkok, if not the whole country, in past decades seems to have been tempered to some extent by slower economic growth which has limited professional opportunities.</p>\n<p>While Thailand still deserves the title of \"Land of Smiles\", the smiles seem to appear just a little less frequent and are a little more forced than in times past, or maybe it is just I have changed and my perceptions have changed. I wonder if the recent political divisions have exasperated the major divisions in society. As an American, it appears the severe political divisions in the USA have caused tensions which can be felt in the air and have increased the divisions between different groups of people.</p>\n<p>I wonder if a similar situation has been happening here in Thailand. While no one who has studied the country\'s history or culture could claim Thailand has ever been egalitarian in nature, the divisions between social and economic classes seem to have widened. Much like as seen in the USA, individuals on both sides of the political division don\'t seem to be able to find much common ground and this political division might have crept into daily life as the population has become more politically active. I don\'t remember any taxi drivers talking politics in years past, but it seems pretty common these days.</p>\n<p>I have occasionally heard a few foreigners say things like Thailand never changes and has never \"modernized.\" But from my vantage point, the country has gone through huge changes in the last 25 years or so which is about the time I have been involved with the country and its culture. When I first came to Thailand, there were no electric lines in many of the villages and most people had no TVs and little access to transportation. In the evenings, when returning from the rice fields, families would often gather alongside their neighbors and for entertainment would eat together and chat and tell stories.</p>\n<p>Today, life in the villages is not that different from what is found in other \"modern\" places with people owning TVs, trucks (or motorcycles) and mobile phones. Therefore the local community has lessened in importance as the outside world has crept in. Another example, when I first came to Thailand, the concept of lining up (queuing) in stores or waiting for a bus was not well known or accepted. Today, when getting on the subway or Skytrain, the behavior of the passengers is little different from what one would encounter in Western societies.</p>\n<p>Whether these changes are \"progress\" or not is up to each individual to decide, but the changes in life in Thailand in the last 25 years appear to have been more radical than what has been seen in Western societies during this same period of time.</p>\n<p>I have always found Thailand to be a great place to live, but not always a great place to work. As Thailand is generally considered a desirable place for foreigners to live, and due to the increase in skills and education of many Thais, competition for good jobs is fierce and employers generally do not have to pay high wages to attract talent.</p>\n</p>\n<p>If the situation works out, I have plenty of work for the next year or so, but I will have to eventually find new sources of income if I plan to settle down here for good. I plan to stay, but then again one does not know when the perceived need for a higher income and/or wanderlust will kick back in and new opportunities in other foreign lands will be sought. But for the time being, I am enjoying life back in Thailand. I enjoyed working in both Vietnam and China, and in my teachings and writings I often advocate the concept that it is not very useful to try to compare, evaluate and rank some cultures as being better than others, nevertheless, it feels good to be back \"home.\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p>\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of a number of books, book chapters, academic journal articles, conference papers, magazine articles and newspaper pieces.</p>\n<p>His books include</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An evolutionary perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking free from the colonial paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415533553/\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=2765&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia</a> (coming soon)</p>\n</p>','','2012-11-14 23:10:31',1,'2012-11-14 23:10:31','2012-11-15 13:01:32'),(13077,71,'A rewarding visa run','a-rewarding-visa-run','How to get a double-entry tourist visa in Savannakhet, Laos','I won\'t claim to be any kind of expert on the matter, but from everything I\'ve heard from the many people and agencies I\'ve talked to, Laos is the only country you can easily (relatively and without flying) get to from Bangkok that will grant you a double entry tourist visa.','<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I recently changed jobs, and as part of the process had to leave the country to get a new visa&hellip; again.

The biggest change since 2012 has been the apparent relocation of the Thai Consulate and some other minor details; I hope this can help make the task of going for a new visa less daunting!</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I won&rsquo;t claim to be any kind of expert on the matter, but from everything I&rsquo;ve heard from the many people and agencies I&rsquo;ve talked to, Laos is the only country you can easily (relatively&mdash;without flying) get to from Bangkok that will grant you a double entry tourist visa. And, after a bit of last-minute research, I discovered that the Consulate in Savannakhet is far more relaxed than the Embassy in Vientiane both in the ability to smoothly go through the process and the atmosphere of the town itself.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After going, I have to agree.

Black and white worked fine for me. Technically, you only need one, but if you go to check into a hotel while the Thai consulate has your passport&hellip; you&rsquo;ll obviously need a copy to fill out the booking paperwork. You can probably get around this, but I hate being without any copy of my passport. This is Thailand (and Laos), after all&hellip;</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-Patience. We&rsquo;re in Thailand. Just go with the flow!</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Second, visa fees needed as of August 8, 2015:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-1500 baht for a Laos Visa on Arrival. You don&rsquo;t have a choice, even if it&rsquo;s just for a day.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-2000 baht for a double-entry tourist visa OR non-immigrant-B visa, or 1000 for a single-entry. From everyone I&rsquo;ve spoken to, teachers or not, I&rsquo;d go with the tourist visa. I&rsquo;ll make a few notes on what I wrote on my visa application form later.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-50 baht for a &ldquo;visa stamp&rdquo; when you leave Laos. It appeared only the Farang were told to pay this, but it&rsquo;s not like we have much of a choice.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That&rsquo;s it for the actual visa costs, which totaled me (single entry) 2550 baht this go-round. But, remember this: after 2 months, you&rsquo;ll have to visit the immigration office in whatever town you are living in and pay another 1900 baht for a 30 day extension.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After that, you&rsquo;ll have to pay travel costs to and from another international border to initiate your &ldquo;second entry,&rdquo; and after another 2 months, repeat the process&hellip; PROVIDED you don&rsquo;t get a work permit, which allows you to extend your visa to the length of your contract.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Third, travel costs:&nbsp;</strong>(assuming you&rsquo;re traveling to and from Bangkok)<strong></strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-About 1400 baht for bus tickets to and from Bangkok to Savannakhet: about 1100 baht for the long stints from Bangkok to Mukdahan, 100 baht (50 baht each way) from the Mukdahan bus station to and from Savannakhet, and roughly 200-400 baht total costs for taxis throughout the trip.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This will obviously vary from person to person depending on what class bus you take, where you take it from, and/or whether or not you decide to fly. I will note here that you shouldn&rsquo;t have to pay more than 100 baht if you have at least 2 people taking a tuk-tuk from the Laos boarder to the Thai consulate.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You won&rsquo;t be the only person at the border needing a lift to the consulate when you arrive, so if you&rsquo;re not shy, you can save yourself some money by traveling with others.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Fourth, various tidbits to know:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You will have to spend a night in Savannakhet to get a visa; it takes 24 hours for them to issue visas, and there is no getting around it.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Don&rsquo;t worry too much about changing currencies. Everywhere I went in Savannakhet took Thai baht, and I believe that most will take US dollars, too.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You MUST present your visa application from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. You can then pick it up the following day from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Be sure to keep the receipt ticket they give you at the counter when you turn in your passport; picking them up relies on the numbering system indicated on the receipt you get.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Don&rsquo;t expect anyone aside from the bus ticket vendors and Thai Consulate staff to know any English. They don&rsquo;t. But they&rsquo;re all quite friendly, so just be friendly in return and you can usually find out what you need eventually.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Remember the name of the hotel/guesthouse you stay in while in Savannakhet. For some reason, the agents want to know this when you leave, and it should be written on your departure card.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I roughly calculated how much I spent, including visa fees, travel costs, and food/accommodation, and I came up with around 6,000 baht. I&rsquo;m sure you could spend less, and I&rsquo;m positive you could spend more.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>The basics, getting to and from Bangkok to Savannakhet:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-Take a bus from Bangkok&rsquo;s Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit or Chatuchak, depending on who you ask) to Mukdahan, then from Mukdahan to Savannakhet.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-Be sure you are prepared for the various entry/exit procedures both in and out of Thailand and Laos. Each border has duplicated procedures. Details are listed in the sections below.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">-Once you get your visa, simply retrace your footsteps back to Bangkok!</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>My itinerary:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This is basically how it went down for me, just to give you an idea of travel times involved in the whole process.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Wednesday August 5</span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">8:00 p.m., depart for Mukdahan</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Thursday August 6:</span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">7:00 a.m., arrive at Mukdahan bus station</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">7:30 a.m., depart on bus for Laos border (Savannakhet)</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">8:00 a.m., arrive at Thai border to exit</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">8:20 a.m., arrive at Laos border to enter</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">9:10 a.m.,&nbsp; arrive at Thai consulate</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">9:30 a.m., free time until the next day at 2:00 p.m.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Friday, August 7:</span></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">2:00 p.m., pick up passport with double-entry visa</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">4:00 p.m., arrive at Mukdahan bus station after clearing both Thai and Laos borders</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">7:20 p.m., depart on bus for Bangkok</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">5:45 a.m., arrive at Bangkok Mo Chit bus terminal</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Total time spent:</span> about 60 hours.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>To get to Mukdahan (before Savannakhet) from Bangkok:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You <em>can</em> fly direct from Bangkok to Savannakhet through Laos Airlines (and possibly others); Savannakhet has a small airport. But, I talked to several people I met there that said the flight isn&rsquo;t exactly comfortable, and it cost somewhere upwards of US $150 for the 2 hour flight. That&rsquo;s not ridiculous, granted, but considering I got the bus there and back from Bangkok for under US $40, it&rsquo;s all a matter of how much you want to spend.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That said, if you want to take a bus from Bangkok, you have a few options. First, get to the Mo Chit Bus Station (although the sign above it actually reads Chatuchak Bus Terminal). You can take the MRT to KamphaengPhet (which comes up in part of the Chatuchak Weekend Market) and take a motorbike taxi to the bus station for 30 baht, depending on your driver. A meter taxi will probably run under 60 baht.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Alternatively, go to the Mo Chit BTS station and take a bike taxi from there.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Once you get to the bus station, find the third floor (it&rsquo;s a huge bus station by my standards). You&rsquo;ll want the bus that runs Bangkok to Mukdahan, the Thai town just across the river boarder from Savannakhet, Laos. If memory serves, the company is around booth number 96. If you get confused, the information desk on the ground floor is very helpful.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There are several options: first class, second class, and VIP. Basically, VIP buses typically have leather seats with more leg room than the &ldquo;first class&rdquo; tickets I bought my first time going to Savannakhet.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Whatever the meaning, it cost me 650 baht from Bangkok to Mukdahan, first class, on a relatively comfortable coach bus. Second class was something like 460 baht. There are several options; have a Thai friend look up VIP buses and it&rsquo;ll be 200+ baht cheaper than buying at the bus station.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My understanding is that there is a bus that runs to Mukdahan every night around 8:00 p.m. (I&rsquo;m sure it varies a bit), but this being Thailand, we didn&rsquo;t <em>actually </em>leave until almost 9 p.m. The bus coming back was relatively on-time.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Keep in mind that the travel time is between 10-12 hours (depending on traffic and your driver), so no matter what you&rsquo;re riding on, it&rsquo;s going to be uncomfortable. If you&rsquo;re on a budget like me, you&rsquo;ll just have to suck it up. Both buses I took, there and back, had great air conditioning, a bathroom (which I didn&rsquo;t use, so I can&rsquo;t say as to its usability, but my acquaintance in the seat next to me had no complaints), and you&rsquo;re given a little light blanket for the trip.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The seats do recline a little, but again&hellip; remembering that this is a really long trip, it&rsquo;s going to become uncomfortable. Personally, I can&rsquo;t sit still for 10 minutes, much less 10 hours, but that&rsquo;s just me.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The bus stops about halfway through the trip for 20 minutes at a bus rest area, so you can get out, stretch your legs, get some food/drinks if desired, etc.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Getting from Mukdahan to Savannakhet:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This bit is easy. If you take the 8:00 p.m. bus, you&rsquo;ll arrive somewhere around 7:00 the next morning, and there is a 50 baht bus that leaves from the same small bus station to the Friendship II Bridge every thirty minutes or so starting at 7:30 a.m. This bus will get packed fast, so unless you&rsquo;re lickedy-split, you can expect to stand packed in like cattle. Or, basically just like every time you take the BTS at rush hour in Bangkok.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Luckily, it&rsquo;s only about a 10 minute ride from the Mukdahan bus station to the Thai border. You&rsquo;ll have to get out and go through Thailand&rsquo;s exit procedures, get back on the same bus to cross the bridge, and get off again at the Laos boarder, at which point you&rsquo;ll have to get a tuk-tuk to the Thai consulate (or other transportation).</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Exiting Thailand and crossing the border procedures:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You&rsquo;ll get off of the bus at the Thai border just before the modern Friendship II Bridge and have to go through a passport check. You&rsquo;ll need a &ldquo;departure form&rdquo; that you may already possess; if not, you&rsquo;ll have to ask for one and fill it out. Make SURE you get a stamp on your existing visa or other documentation saying you actually left the country; otherwise, as I&rsquo;m told, you could have problems actually getting into Laos.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The passport agent should give you a re-entry form into Thailand when you leave as well as a Laos entry/exit form. These are all simple forms, but I&rsquo;d suggest you fill them in ASAP to avoid bottlenecking the lines at all of the border checkpoints.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The border appears to open at 8:00 a.m. judging by the playing of the King&rsquo;s Anthem at around the time our bus arrived there, which was around 8.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Once you&rsquo;re through this easy bit, it&rsquo;s back onto the bus. Be sure to say &ldquo;moo&rdquo; to show off the cattle that you are.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Entering Laos and crossing the border procedures:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Once you&rsquo;re off the bus, unless you already have a Laos entry visa (which is unlikely), you&rsquo;ll need to go up to a little counter titled &ldquo;Entry Visa&rdquo; or something similar. It&rsquo;s just before you get to the entrance booth for passport control.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Here, you&rsquo;ll be given a form to fill out (again). Once you&rsquo;ve completed it, give it, one of your passport pictures, your passport, and 1500 baht to the agent behind the window. I&rsquo;ve been told it&rsquo;s slightly cheaper if you use US Dollars, but I used baht and had no problem.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This will take a moment; the agents in this particular line of the process aren&rsquo;t in any great hurry. This last trip, I had to wait about 30 minutes for someone to bother showing up.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After you have your Laos visa, make sure you have your Laos entry form filled in and your passport out. They&rsquo;ll want to take your picture, and without much fuss you should be on your way.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Small note here: the visa and entry forms both ask your purpose of entering Laos. I just put &ldquo;visiting.&rdquo; No sense in being too descriptive. Similarly, various fields in both the Thai and Laos visa form and entry/exit form ask purpose of stay, address, and/or contacts within the country. Being that you&rsquo;re applying for a tourist visa, having a physical address may raise eyebrows. I left the address fields blank on all of those forms, and for any other fields in question, I was just vague.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For example, on the Thai visa application, it asks something along the lines of what you&rsquo;ll be doing during your stay. I simply said that I intended to visit Bangkok, Phuket, and Chaing Mai. We all know (the authorities included) that this is just paperwork for the sake of paperwork.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Getting to the Thai Consulate:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I went up to a random fellow filling out visa paperwork and asked if he wanted to share a tuk-tuk to the Thai consulate. There&rsquo;s one way of making friends. He agreed, and after haggling the tuk-tuk driver down from the outrageous 200 baht he wanted per person to 100 baht per person (still a lot for the short trip), we were on our way.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Luckily, in my brief experience in Laos, everyone is quite nice and generally helpful. Obviously, taxi drivers are going to want to make as much money as possible, but just be nice and polite and do what you have to do. Let&rsquo;s keep a relatively good image for foreigners in this little town; otherwise, we&rsquo;ll end up making Savannakhet the same as Vientiane and getting multiple tourist visas will become impossible.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Thai Consulate moved since I last visited in 2012. Now, it is closer to the boarder entry point, just off of whatever the &ldquo;main road&rdquo; would be. It&rsquo;s less than a 10 minute taxi/tuk-tuk ride from the border, and is a nice new brown building with full security. It&rsquo;s on the way to &ldquo;old&rdquo; Savannakhet, so if you get there, you&rsquo;ve gone too far.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Once you&rsquo;re at the Thai Consulate, just to the left of the entrance there is a little visa application stall with a nice lady working for the Consulate handing them out. At least, there was when I went; I did not have to pay for one. It is possible to get scammed by the many little stands right across the street from the consulate, but before giving into them, check at the consulate itself first. You can make copies and whatnot for a nominal fee.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Here&rsquo;s the important part: it&rsquo;s only 1000 baht for a single entry tourist visa, but 2000 for a double entry. Make SURE you hand-write next to the &ldquo;tourist visa&rdquo; box the words &ldquo;double entry&rdquo; clearly, and when you turn in the form to the agent at the window, make sure you politely ensure she/he knows that you want a double entry visa (if that&rsquo;s the case). There is no box or field to write this, so make sure you remember to indicate it!</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Other than that, the form is fairly self-explanatory. Be vague when needed, and hand it in with your passport, a photocopy of your passport, a passport picture, and 2000 baht (double; 1000 single). You will get a receipt to pick it up the next day between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I&rsquo;d recommend being there at 2:00 p.m. the next day if you plan on making it back to Bangkok (or wherever) that evening; it gives you plenty of time to play with.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Staying in Savannakhet:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Like I&rsquo;ve said, there really isn&rsquo;t much to the town. It&rsquo;s a quaint little French-influenced spot next to the large Mekong River, and not much is going on. Seriously, it&rsquo;s the exact opposite of the insanity of Bangkok. It&rsquo;s actually a bit like a vacation&hellip; a welcome vacation mandated by the government, but a vacation nonetheless.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I only looked into two hotels last time I visited: one right next to the river whose name escapes me, and one that I&rsquo;ve seen recommended elsewhere called Leena Guesthouse. I&rsquo;m not big on planning, so I hadn&rsquo;t bothered trying to book in advance, nor did I have any idea where hotels (if you can call them that) would be. Luckily, the town is so small that I literally walked around until I found a sign for Leena Guesthouse.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This time, I opted for what would be considered opulent foreigner-friendly hotel&hellip; the Avalon Residence. It&rsquo;s not far from the consulate, and is about a 2-3km walk from the little night market/church in the middle of the old part of town. 650 baht/night, nice AC, hot shower, wifi, the works. Somewhat English-speaking staff too, and has its own decent coffeeshop/restaurant right next door.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Note the difference between this &ldquo;posh&rdquo; (for Laos) hotel at 650 baht/night and my last stay at 350 baht/night; it&rsquo;s all in what you want. Both have generally the same accommodations, but Avalon is far easier to get to and definitely designed with foreigners in mind, whereas Leena Guesthouse (my last stay) is far more&hellip; barebones.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Note here that I paid in Thai baht with a 1,000 baht note and was given change in Lao kip. Interesting.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There are a number of other small guesthouses, but after talking to other travelers, I&rsquo;d say Leena is about the cheapest and most acceptable of the lot. Avalon Residence is most convenient and cheap for what you get (now that I&rsquo;m not as poor as my last time in Laos).</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You can also opt for a full-fledged hotel, as I&rsquo;ve heard from others, with a pool and other amenities, but someone told me that costs over 1,000 baht. Again, like anywhere, you can pretty much spend as much as you want to spend. The bottom line is that the prices aren&rsquo;t too different than what you&rsquo;ll find for similar accommodations in Thailand (in most places).</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you&rsquo;re like me and don&rsquo;t like to plan much, though, don&rsquo;t worry; you are almost guaranteed to find a spot to stay. I was lazy; I told a tuk-tuk driver &ldquo;farang hotel&rdquo; and he took me right to Avalon. HA! I&rsquo;ve gotten hiso in my old age&hellip;</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Eating in Savannakhet:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I won&rsquo;t lie: I splurged on food during my short stint in the little town&hellip; both visits. But, whereas accommodations aren&rsquo;t much cheaper than they are in most places in Thailand (in my experience), the food is definitely cheaper.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This being a former French colony, there is both old French architecture and food to be enjoyed. I&rsquo;ve been on a raging craving for French food, and I must say: outside of France, which I visited last year, I haven&rsquo;t had better French food.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There are a number of small French restaurants around the town. I stopped in Lin&rsquo;s Caf&eacute; (I stumbled upon it while wondering, actually) and had a lovely club sandwich, Vietnamese-style spring rolls, a banana smoothie, a hot tea, and a large bottle of water between my tuk-tuk friend and myself, and it was under 300 baht.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">My splurge came in the evening and the next day at another French restaurant called Daosavanah, located in the long square that leads up to the Christian church. You can&rsquo;t miss the church&hellip; it&rsquo;s quite beautiful, albeit out of place in my eyes.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For 65,000 kip (250 baht, $8 USD), I got a 3-course legitimate French meal: pumpkin-vegetable soup, beef bourguignon, and two scoops of coconut ice cream, plus a few Beerlaos. And as I said earlier, it was delicious&hellip; as close to perfection as I&rsquo;ve had. I did something similar this go round (2012, now 2015); the owner/cook, Marjorie, is excellent, and the place has wine! Not good wine, but wine! Sorry; BeerLaos is a first-class ticket to a miserable hangover. Trust me.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Seriously, this is a very sleepy little town. I&rsquo;d go so far as to say village. I can&rsquo;t remember the total it came to, but it was cheap. This is impressive considering the use of real butter.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You can also get Thai/Laos/Vietnamese foods at any number of places throughout the little city. During my first evening in Savannakhet (in 2012), I spent a few hours with my newfound tuk-tuk friend in a pavilion right on the river enjoying several Beerlaos and a light dinner. Peacefulness is the name of the game.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Thoughts on Savannakhet:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">There&rsquo;s really not much to say about the town itself. It&rsquo;s tiny by Bangkok standards. The joke I heard several times was that the town&rsquo;s one stop light wasn&rsquo;t even really needed.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It was certainly hot while there, so I spent most of the daylight hours sitting under shade and fans. Don&rsquo;t expect to be necessarily blown away by the presence of the French architecture; it&rsquo;s mostly poorly maintained and looks pretty much like you&rsquo;d expect a poor border town to look.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Even so, Savannakhet has a certain character to it. The people are nothing but nice. None of them will have any idea what you&rsquo;re talking about in English, so make sure you bring your acting skills. It&rsquo;s still a relatively new thing for them to deal with foreigners; the Friendship II Bridge that connects Mukdahan and Savannakhet, as I understand it, was only completed in 2007, and there are not many foreigners wandering around at all.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I did meet one Australian family and one American who were living in the town, but all the other people (I say &ldquo;all&rdquo; as though there were many&hellip; about a bus-load&rsquo;s worth) were doing the same thing as me: getting visas.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It&rsquo;s not my cup of tea, really, being that I&rsquo;ve been living in Bangkok and am used to having things to do any time I want. Savannakhet is the complete antithesis of this. I&rsquo;m told there are a few little night spots, but everything I saw closed at 10:00 p.m. or so.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So while you shouldn&rsquo;t expect to have a raging party while there, my suggestion would be to simply enjoy the change in pace of life. Especially if you&rsquo;re coming from a place like Bangkok or even Chiang Mai, this little town is a good day&rsquo;s worth of fresh air.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Returning to Mukdahan and Bangkok:</strong></p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">It&rsquo;s quite simple, really. Once you pick up your passport at the Thai consulate, try to pool into a tuk-tuk back to the border with some of your fellow visa-runners, and it&rsquo;s back through the gates again on both sides of the river border. Make sure you have checked that you got a double entry visa (if that&rsquo;s what you wanted), and make sure you&rsquo;ve filled out your departure card that you should have received when you entered Laos the day before.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I&rsquo;d recommend being quite friendly to the agents at both border checkpoints; they have a quite mundane job, and I got the distinct feeling that you could easily piss them off. That would be bad for you; remember, we don&rsquo;t have any true legal rights in Laos or Thailand, so our lives are in their hands.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For example, during my 2012 trip while standing in line next to a random Norwegian who told me all about what it was like to trip on acid during my 15 or so minute wait in the line to clear the Laos border, I had to help an old man who had obviously been drinking for quite some time to not arouse suspicion. Well, I didn&rsquo;t have to, but I felt I should. My recent trip was likewise.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I love the random people you meet on little outings like this. Seriously, it&rsquo;s quite an experience!</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Also on that note, there are clear postings at each border saying something along the lines of punishments for drugs being lifetime in prison, and punishment for intent to sell being death. How&rsquo;s that for swift justice?</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That said, I really didn&rsquo;t get checked&hellip; so I guess, if you&rsquo;re willing to take the chance, you could probably get away with it. I believe the official limit on &ldquo;legal&rdquo; goods going back into Thailand is one bottle of booze and a carton of cigarettes per person. I hear both of those items are hot tickets in Laos being that they&rsquo;re ridiculously cheap across the border. It never occurred to me to buy any, so all I can say about re-entering Thai customs is that they ran my bag through a scanner that I don&rsquo;t think anyone was looking at.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Remember here that you&rsquo;ll have to do the same get-on, get-off of the bus routine. You can buy the bus ticket back to Mukdahan literally right after you go through the exit Laos passport control. This passport control booth, by the way, is where I had to pay the 50 baht visa stamp fee. I didn&rsquo;t ask; I just went with it on my first trip, but for whatever reason didn&rsquo;t have to pay that stamp fee this last go-round.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you play your cards like I did and pick up your passport at 2:00 p.m. at the Laos Thai Consulate, you can be across the border (and both border controls) and back to the Mukdahan bus station by 4:00 p.m. The process really doesn&rsquo;t take too incredibly long, all things considered.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I decided to head on back to Bangkok that night, so I bought a return ticket with the same bus company (which has a clear sign posted in the Mukdahan bus station with times leaving roughly between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. depending on the service you choose) and killed a few hours at a nice little coffee shop inside the Mukdahan bus station.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The ride back to Bangkok was long as ever, but I was back at the Mo Chit terminal just before 6:00 a.m., which worked perfect being that the MRT and BTS systems in Bangkok don&rsquo;t start until then anyway. Keep in mind here that, at least during this time of morning, getting a taxi directly from the point of disembarkation is next to impossible. I&rsquo;d recommend walking either to the main entrance of the bus station and trying to catch one there or walking across the street from the station a ways to catch one.</p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So&hellip; that&rsquo;s the long version of a short story! It was almost exactly the same story as my first trip there 3 years ago. It&rsquo;s not bad, but hopefully it&rsquo;ll be my last &ldquo;mandatory unpaid vacation&rdquo; for quite a while to come&hellip;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;I have some <a href=\"https://plus.google.com/photos/103005098848251673434/albums/5814680069252157857?authkey=CI-M24CJo4_fBA&amp;banner=pwa&amp;gpsrc=pwrd1#photos/103005098848251673434/albums/5814680069252157857?authkey=CI-M24CJo4_fBA&amp;banner=pwa&amp;gpsrc=pwrd1\">photos from my trip</a> as well if you want to look at them</p>','','2015-08-18 18:01:48',1,'2015-08-18 18:01:48','2015-09-01 11:11:49'),(13207,71,'Back from Laos','back-from-laos','An impromptu tour of Bangkok\'s biggest shopping malls','The last week has been quite busy!

Ever since I got back from Laos, it\'s been nonstop business. I arrived back in Bangkok from Savannakhet early Saturday morning, as I said in the previous blog. I went home, caught a nap until around noon, and ventured out in the hopes of finally opening a Thai bank account.</p>\n<p>Naturally, it took a solid hour and a half to get from my apartment to Siam Paragon, the mall that my agency said I must open a bank account with.</p>\n<p>According to Google Maps, it\'s right at 14 kilometers, but with traffic, as I\'ve said time and time again, plan on making a day of it anytime you want to go... anywhere.</p>\n<p>I finally arrived, and funny enough, it took me another 30 minutes just walking around the mall trying to find the bank. This isn\'t just a little mall... it\'s got its own zones. I get lost every time I go in there. Even funnier is that right next door, there\'s Central World, a mall that\'s at LEAST twice as big as Paragon.</p>\n<p>Siam Paragon almost always has some kind of event going on either in the large fountained courtyard outside it or inside at one of the large atriums. This particular day, there was some kind of awards ceremony going on for jewelry. They had some large production that looked like a fairytale or Swan Lake, complete with flying actresses and ballet moves. The music could be heard, most likely, in neighboring countries.</p>\n<p>There\'s another side-note, if I haven\'t mentioned it already: if you\'re a person who values quiet, I\'d recommend checking out another country. Thailand is loud... everywhere. Inside, outside, at school... everywhere, all the time. It\'s perfect for me; I\'m a person who can\'t stand silence, and lucky for me, I can\'t say that I can yet recall a time where it has BEEN silent since moving to Thailand.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I finally found the bank, and was told I had to have a different visa and/or a work permit than what I have. They wanted a non-immigrant B visa (I still don\'t really know what that is...), and I now have a tourist visa... as of the day before. Go figure.</p>\n<p>So, dejected, I tried calling my agency for advice. Rather than have an answering service or voicemail, apparently my agency just cuts off their phones on the weekend... the call wouldn\'t even go through. I\'m not surprised.</p>\n<p>I left my apartment at noon, and it\'s now after 4:00 p.m., just to give you an idea of how long it takes to get places in the city. I spent the time I had looking around Paragon a bit more... checking out the gizmos in the plethora of electronics stores in the mall and browsing through some expensive books. Thailand\'s largest English bookstore is in this mall, but you can expect to pay a pretty penny for most of the books. The average paperback in there costs around 400 baht, or just under $15.</p>\n<p>For whatever reason, I was in the mood to spend a bunch of money on something I didn\'t need. Luckily, I eventually talked myself out of doing so, but not before I spent a good two hours browsing through one of the biggest gizmo stores I\'ve ever been in at Central World, just next door to Paragon.</p>\n<p>Just to put the size of Central World into scope, it has an electronics store called Power Buy that\'s the size of a large Best Buy in the United States, but this particular store in this particular mall is one of the smaller department-sized stores. The anchor store, Zen, must be at least the size of the mega-Macy\'s in New York City. It\'s a full seven stories, if not more, and it\'s not the only large department store in the mall.</p>\n<p>There\'s also a 15-or-so screen movie theater in the top of Central World, just as there is a movie theater of some kind on the upper floors of all of the major malls in Bangkok. I\'m currently sitting in a little eatery in another mall called Terminal 21 near the Asok BTS station, another commercial hub in the city, on the 8th or 9th floor, and above me is a 12-screen movie theater. Thais like their movies.</p>\n<p>While wondering around Central World, I found another bank branch (Kasikorn is the one I\'d been told to open an account with... the \"green\" branded bank) and figured it was worth giving it a go there. What\'s the worst that could happen... they turn me down again?</p>\n<p>Well, as it happens, they didn\'t. I\'m not sure what the actual policy is, and I\'m not even really sure what kind of account I opened... even at this gigantic international mall, finding an English speaking employee is like finding a needle in a haystack. A very large haystack, I may add. All I know is that I now have a new debit card. I\'ll add it to the pile...</p>\n<p>Banks here give you an ATM card when you open the account, on the spot, which is good being that I still don\'t know what my address is. They didn\'t even ask for it, really... I just gave them a paper written in Thai that I got from my agency. I\'m assuming they used that address.</p>\n<p>You also get some sort of \"Passbook,\" which appears just to be a ledger of some kind. I think it\'s more important than that, though, because at most banks you\'ll find an ATM, a cash deposit machine, and a \"Passbook Update Machine,\" whatever that is. I guess it prints your balance in the little book... although I\'m not sure why, being that the ATMs will show you your balance and print a receipt of it.</p>\n<p>Note here that there are three separate banking machines for all of these large banks, and these large banks are everywhere. Unlike Bank of America and Wells Fargo, there isn\'t a \"one machine does all\" deal going on. Everything is specialized. It seems to me that having three machines everywhere would be expensive... but obviously I\'m wrong.</p>\n<p>One other thing I learned thanks to the advice of a colleague at my school is that, if you are in the Central World Plaza that I\'ve previously called the Times Square of Bangkok, you can catch a van (number 96) that takes you straight from there to where I live near Sripitum University. The best part is? It\'s only 25 baht.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind that you may end up sitting in traffic for a solid hour, but still... it\'s nice to know that if you want, you can take a van rather than a bus, the MRT underground, AND the BTS Skytrain plus a good deal of walking... to get to the same place. I rather enjoy taking the public transportation, but at 25 baht, the van is less than half the price of the total fare of bus+MRT+BTS and a lot less thinking.</p>\n<p>The only thing I really need to do is figure out how to say \"stop, please.\" The van driver stops when asked, but I have yet to pick up on what it is the Thai people say to ask him.</p>\n<p>These vans appear to run anywhere and everywhere, but if my colleague hadn\'t told me about it, I have absolutely no idea how to find out which van goes where. Most of the vans have signs on them, but it\'s all in Thai, so unless you happen to read Thai (which I don\'t), best of luck.</p>\n<p>The next day (Sunday), I had an interview with language school. I received a call responding to an application I turned in from ajarn.com to an academy near the Asok BTS station while I was having lunch during my second day in Laos (last Friday), and I was asked to come in for an interview Sunday.</p>\n<p>Not too bad, eh? A 60 hour trip to and from Laos, opened a bank account on the day I got back (Saturday), and went to an interview (Sunday)... all within a matter of days. I\'d call that productivity at its finest.</p>\n<p>The interview went well, and I was offered a position to start next week (which is today, actually). I did get a bit lost finding the building, but that\'s not a surprise.</p>\n<p>One thing of note: I needed to print out a recent resume for the interview, but it\'s tricky to find anything similar to an internet caf&eacute; before 9:00 a.m. (my interview was at 10, and to get there on time I had to leave before 7:30). I therefore waltzed into the extraordinarily exquisite Sheraton (which I happen to be looking at right now), and headed to their business center.</p>\n<p>I feel a bit bad, really... I was prepared to pay to print my documents, no problem. But apparently they don\'t take cash and each guest room gets five free pages printed per day. So some random room, who hopefully never used the business center, got two print-outs of a resume from someone they\'ve never met. They won\'t have to pay anything for it, but... oops.</p>\n<p>After the interview, I discovered two things. First, the Terminal 21 shopping mall right off of the Asok BTS station, where I\'m sitting now. This mall isn\'t nearly as big as those in the Siam Square shopping district, but it\'s neat in that it\'s themed for a different international city on every floor. There\'s a London, Istanbul, Paris, and San Francisco floor among others.</p>\n<p>The best thing, though, is the food court on the top level called \"Pier 21.\" For being in such a high-end international mall, it is ridiculously cheap. Most dishes aren\'t more than 40 baht each (many are less), and the portions are quite good. Plus, the view from the top of Terminal 21 is great: you can see all of downtown Bangkok!</p>\n<p>It\'s set up where you pay for a meal card up front, and whatever money you don\'t use is refunded to you when you leave. I like that; pay as much as you want, and still get whatever you don\'t spend back. I got two full meals while there (I was extra hungry), and still didn\'t break 80 baht. That is cheap, especially considering the air conditioning and the view you get with it. Last night, for example, I had a small-portioned dinner at one of the traditional Thai outdoor market restaurants, and I spent more than what I spent at Terminal 21 for less food.</p>\n<p>Go figure... you\'d guess that a high end mall would have more expensive food than an outdoor market with a few plastic chairs and fans. But, while the restaurants in the mall are expensive, the food court is certainly worth the while.</p>\n<p>The second thing I discovered this day: for whatever reason, it\'s cheaper to take the MRT from the Sukhumvit Station (which interchanges with the BTS Asok station) to Phohon Yothin, my stop to go home, than it is to take the BTS roughly the same distance... about 34 baht versus 40 baht. Granted, it\'s not much of a savings, but I\'ll take everything I can get! Plus, the MRT typically isn\'t QUITE as packed as the BTS is. Sure, it\'s usually crowded, but not to the point of being a sardine cannery.</p>\n<p>I also explored a smaller mall called Emporium. There\'s not much to it, but there was a live yoga training show going on for whatever reason. It was similar to what I see on the weekends in large courtyards such as those around Tesco Lotus supermarkets. They seem to randomly set-up speakers with someone leading vigorous aerobics classes. Not sure what that\'s all about, but they look like they\'re having a good time. I can\'t be bothered to exercise that much, though.</p>\n<p>The reason I looked around Emporium was to find a secondhand book store that someone I work with told me about. I did find several secondhand book stores in the area around Emporium, but they were all Japanese books. That area is highly Japanese... it\'s like Chinatown, except with Japan.</p>\n<p>Finally, one completely unrelated thing I\'m quite proud of myself for is figuring out is how to use the \"virtual network\" feature of Windows 8 to use my laptop as a wireless hotspot. This helps me being that my apartment complex has internet set up per registered computer/user, meaning I\'d have to pay again to get my phone registered on the network. I\'d rather not use the expensive pre-paid data I have with True Move, my SIM card company, so figuring out how to use my laptop as an intermediary is great!</p>\n<p>It requires using some DOS (or Command Prompt, as it\'s now called) commands, as well as the correct hardware (which I have), but after playing around for a bit, I got it work perfectly!</p>\n<p>Nerds of the world unite.</p>','','2012-12-02 21:44:22',1,'2012-12-02 21:44:22','2012-12-03 11:11:23'),(13208,71,'Mid-term prep and a week in review','mid-term-prep-and-a-week-in-review','You have to go with the flow in Thailand','Here\'s another example of why you must roll with the tides here in Thailand, too.

I spent a good two hours making a 40-question midterm for my Mathayom 2 class. My paperwork shows that the M2 class I have is divided into Science 1 and Science 2, but the curriculum is identical for both. I didn\'t realize that I was supposed to be taking enough grades to create 30 points worth of credit for TWO classes in the same class before midterm, and certainly didn\'t know that each class needed its own midterm.</p>\n<p>That\'s a bit of a doozy, but luckily I\'ve already taken more grades than I needed. So, I just split the grades I have according to the chapters we\'ve covered, but it could have been problematic if I hadn\'t taken extra grades already.</p>\n<p>I had written only one midterm for the class, too, which then had to be re-done into two separate midterms. The format was also different than I was initially told; I was told the midterm and finals were to be all multiple choice, so that\'s what I had done, but was then told the midterm needed to be varied format. Frustrating, sure, being that I\'d already finished the test, but whatever. Just roll with it.</p>\n<p>Eventually, I got my midterms finished... 40 question tests for six classes, even though I only actually teach three classes\' worth of students. Wrap your head around THAT one...</p>\n<p>A colleague of mine, poor fellow, was under the impression that midterms were to actually be given to students next week rather than them just being due to co-teachers for review. I feel his pain; up until a week or so ago, that\'s the same thing I thought. I wondered why midterms would begin so early...</p>\n<p>Once again, don\'t expect to know what\'s going on at any given time. Just go with it.</p>\n<p>I\'d like to mention my Mathayom 3 class for a moment. I can\'t express how impressed I was with the presentations they gave to me this past week. I assigned a poster project to the class in pairs, each with a topic related to genetics, about two weeks ago. I haven\'t even mentioned it since, thinking that I would give them time in class this week to work on it.</p>\n<p>However, when I announced to them that we would have a project workday, they announced-all of them-that they were all finished! They kept the original presentation date I had given them, and without me so much as mentioning the project for two weeks, they all completed the task! I\'m beyond surprised; in America, due dates were simply an excuse for students to beg for more time to drag things out. Not here!</p>\n<p>Not only did the students finish the project, but I can honestly say that the presentations they gave were top-notch. This is coming from a native English speaker who has a good deal of experience in public speaking, too. I have seen far worse presentations by native English speakers in universities than what I saw in my English as a second language science class of 14 year olds.</p>\n<p>Seriously, I\'m still blown away at how well they did. Sure, their pronunciation wasn\'t perfect, and I\'m sure that most of what they read was copied directly off of Wikipedia, but just the fact that they completed the project (with great looking posters, I might add) and presented them well blows me away.</p>\n<p>Take that, American education system. A bunch of kids in a third world country can do better presentations in a second language than many (if not a lot) of students in the US can.</p>\n<p>A few other things about the past week at school: for whatever reason, one of the foreign teachers wasn\'t able to make school one day, and when this happens, the rest of the foreign teachers have to cover the class. Every now and again a substitute will come, but not often. I\'ve mentioned that I\'ve done this before, and here it is happening again. I rather like it, actually; it gives me a chance to teach actual English rather than science in English... I can be a stickler for pronunciation and other aspects that I don\'t have time to emphasize so much while teaching another subject.</p>\n<p>This same particular day, I ended up having to cover for one of my co-teachers too; half of the science department went off with a bunch of upper-Mathayom kids to some kind of science camp Wednesday-Friday, so the teachers that were left were having to cover a LOT of classes. I didn\'t realize that my M3 class didn\'t have my co-teacher to teach them one day, so at the last minute I ended up staying and, essentially, babysitting due to having nothing prepared to have them do.</p>\n<p>I would have made them at least do science charades or something, but I didn\'t have the heart to after having already told them I was through with them. So, free time it was. I did learn a neat game that the kids like to play called \"24,\" whereby you write four numbers on the board and race to see who can make the numbers equal 24 by any mathematical operation. I\'m highly impressed at how good they are at math, too; not that I\'m any good at math by ANY means, but they beat me every time!</p>\n<p>The few students who gathered around me also wanted to play hangman. They love to play hangman. They\'re extremely competitive students, the lot of them.</p>\n<p>During one of my days sitting in my office making midterms, I also discovered first-hand the fascination Thais have with the supernatural. A group of teachers gathered around one of the teacher computers and watched a YouTube episode of some kind of possessed-by-a-ghost program in Thai, and were literally transfixed by it. They kept trying to explain to me what was happening, and when the office phone rang, they all jumped as though they were sitting through a horror movie.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never seen anything like it... they seemed to eat it up! The best I could figure, the woman in the program was possessed by a 1,000 year old ghost that caused her to stab her husband... and apparently that\'s just normal here. I had a hard time keeping a straight face; I certainly don\'t want to disrespect them, but it\'s just not my cup of tea.</p>\n<p>This past Wednesday was the Loy Kratong festival, which is some kind of apology to the river (and any water, it seems) for polluting and abusing it after the end of the primary rice harvest. I had all intentions of going out to the river in Bangkok to see the festivities, which include making these little boats made from banana leaves with flowers and candles in them. It rained most of that day, though, and after spending hours writing midterms, I just didn\'t have it in me to fight the rain and the people to go. There\'s always next year.</p>\n<p>It was quite the scene, though, even from my apartment window. The Thais downstairs (mostly uni students) partied until who knows when, shooting off firecrackers all night, lighting floating lanterns that flew up into the night sky (very cool to see), and otherwise lighting things on fire. Needless to say, it\'s not something that would be remotely acceptable in the States, but it certainly looked fun and no harm was done!</p>\n<p>I am sorry I missed it... but there are plenty of other festivals to partake in. This coming Wednesday, for example, is the King\'s birthday. It\'s a national holiday, and the students at school have missed at least two first periods last week in assemblies to prepare for \"Father\'s Day,\" as his birthday is known. I\'m not sure what to expect from this day, but I\'ll certainly go out and about to see what happens.</p>\n<p>Let\'s see... other than that for this week, I did book a flight to Italy, round trip Bangkok to Rome, for $788 in April. Not bad! I get to fly Aeroflot, or Russian Airways, and will go through Moscow going there and back. That should be interesting... two weeks in April, 2-16th. I\'m excited!</p>\n<p>So, all in all, a very busy week! With writing midterms out of the way (and, in turn, all of the material I need to teach before I give them), the next few weeks at school should be a breeze. I can\'t wait to assign \"the great paper airplane project\" to my M2 class to reinforce Newton\'s Laws of Motion. I did the project myself in elementary school, and if you ask me, there\'s not much more fun to be had than by making paper airplanes.</p>\n<p>Ain\'t science great?</p>','','2012-12-02 21:57:23',1,'2012-12-02 21:57:23','2012-12-03 12:12:24'),(13210,71,'Thrown to the wolves','thrown-to-the-wolves','Teaching kindergarten for the very first time','Today\'s class was my very first 2-hour stint with a group of kindergarteners.

At several points throughout the week, though, the fellow that interviewed me (very nice British chap) called me to offer me a class, and then two, to fill-in for on Saturday (today). I couldn\'t say no having just been hired, so even though it only pays 420 baht/hour and takes an hour and a half to get to their office, I went for it.</p>\n<p>I won\'t lie: I was more nervous for the class I was to teach today than I was (and am) for the class I\'m scheduled to teach all day tomorrow. Well, as nervous as I get, anyway; I\'m not usually one to worry.</p>\n<p>Today\'s class was my very first 2-hour stint with a group of kindergarteners. I\'ve never been the world\'s largest fan of little kids, not because I don\'t like them, but because I have no earthly idea what to do with them. Well, all things considered, I\'d say my class went quite well! I think they learned a few things, if nothing else; today\'s topics were clothing and pets, and I had them color a sheet that required them to practice saying pet types, counting how many of each, and specifying colors.</p>\n<p>Afterwards, I couldn\'t resist making them all get on the floor with me and act out each animal. That was fun. I think I may have enjoyed crawling around acting like a cat, dog, mouse, hamster, snake, and bird more than they did.</p>\n<p>Phew, I don\'t know how kindergarten teachers do it. I only had a class of seven kids for two hours, and it was utterly exhausting. I managed to hold their attention for a good 30 minutes before they started disintegrating into madness, and after that it was essentially guided babysitting. I would feel bad about not getting more accomplished had I not gone to that interview at the Montessori school a month or so ago and seen the utter madness in the kindergarten class there.</p>\n<p>They were all quite sweet kids, and insisted I carry them around the room, colored on everything they could find, and ran wild with some random large dolls in the room. The parents seemed pleased afterwards, and I was told by my interviewer (the director of studies at this language school) that the parents and kids liked me. How about that.</p>\n<p>After a cheap lunch right around the corner (my first Thai omelet that I\'ve ordered, quite good), I had another class of older students. There were only three, around age 15, and I must say: it\'s fun to teach small groups. They seem to get exponentially more out of a lesson than larger groups due to the sheer amount of attention I can spend with them.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind, here, that I put in zero preparation for either class. I had to play it by ear; I am a fill-in for these classes, after all, so I just went with what felt right. That said, I did go by the office last night (the night before) and picked up the materials I was to use. I\'ll be honest: I didn\'t even look at them; a friend I met in Bangkok before I moved here happens to be in town this weekend, so I met up with him and his friend (who is about to start a charity in Fiji, I might add... very cool) and hung out for most of the night.</p>\n<p>I did learn, on a side note, that it is nearly impossible to get a taxi to take me home after the bus system closes down around midnight. The taxi drivers won\'t even attempt to understand where I\'m trying to say I need to go (Sripitum University). I did finally find one taxi that spoke good English, but it took hailing down 6 or so taxis in a matter of 30 minutes before that occurred.</p>\n<p>Back to the school, though: apparently, my older class of three (in the class called \"cool cats,\" which I find amusing) liked me so much that I was requested, almost begged, by the director of studies to become their regular Saturday teacher! Apparently the parents almost demanded it. How\'s that for appreciation! I\'m seriously humbled, especially being that I had no idea what I was getting myself into.</p>\n<p>I did agree to do so on the stipulation that I\'ll pick up another class on Saturdays now to make it worth my trip out there. I have mixed feelings about it, though; this schedule means that I won\'t have any days off every week, which is nothing new to me, but still severely interferes with my ability to go out to bars with my colleagues on the weekends.</p>\n<p>This weekend, especially, is problematic being that my friends I hung out with last night are here, and a friend I met in England last year is in town from Australia too. It\'s a convergence of old friends in a new city! It\'s unfortunate, then, that I must be at the language school by ten in the morning to teach an all-day class.</p>\n<p>A note on that class: apparently, the American Embassy has some kind of program for \"underprivileged\" students, and they are who I\'ll be teaching: about eighteen 14-18 year olds who come from \"disadvantaged backgrounds.\" We\'ll see what that actually entails, but I have been told to keep an eye on my wallet by the director. Hopefully it\'ll go smoothly. Again, I have no idea of what I\'ll be teaching them or how I\'ll keep them occupied for six hours, but what\'s the worst that can happen?</p>\n<p>If nothing else, I plan on harassing them about pronouncing \"R\'s\" as \"R\'s\" rather than \"L\'s,\" just like I did with my class today. With practice, I think they\'ll get it!<br />I calculated how much it costs me, round trip, to get to this language school from my apartment and not counting the time involved (about an hour and a half), it costs me roughly 200 baht.</p>\n<p>Because of my friends in town, and because I\'d have to make the trip there and back 4 times in less than a day\'s time, I decided (once again) to just stay at the hostel I seem to frequent in the Nana district. At 400 baht a night (it\'s high season here as of December 1, apparently, so the price goes up 50 baht per night), it\'s still cheaper than going back and forth home, I\'ll save a solid 6 hours of travel time over the next day, and I won\'t have to worry about being late to school in the morning if things get a bit out of hand tonight.</p>\n<p>I\'m already tired, unfortunately, being that I didn\'t get back home last night until well after 1:00 a.m. due to the taxi situation, and having to leave by 8:00 this morning to get here on time. But hey, as I frequently say, you only live once.</p>\n<p>So, two jobs will once again be my life! Even so, I\'ll only be working about 50 hours per week, of which most of that is planning time at my school. I\'m used to working a solid 80 hours in the US, so I think it\'ll be dandy. I\'m still hoping to get into some corporate teaching, so that\'s the reason I\'m pulling these Saturdays at the language school; get in good with them, get some corporate teaching gigs. Should be fun.</p>\n<p>I should also note that my particular language school is owned and run by a Thai foreigner celebrity, so if nothing else, it should look good on my resume. Everyone I\'ve met working for the company thus far has been great, so I foresee it as being a great experience in the long run.</p>\n<p>Well, tonight will entail a lot of meeting and greeting with old chums and new ones, so I think it\'s high time I hit up the 7/11 for a Leo beer and chill for a bit. After all, I can sleep... well, eventually.</p>\n<p>In my next entry, I\'ll note how tomorrow\'s six hour class goes.

If you have been following me on my adventure through Asia, you know I am pretty Asian by now, I eat rice for every meal, take off my shoes when entering most places and have songs on my iPod that I can\'t understand.</p>\n<p>Yet even though I may feel comfortable here in Asia, there are many things I am looking forward to about going home and I will always be a product of my upbringing. Knowing what is on the menu at a restaurant, warm clothes straight from the dryer, not having to look at a map, not worrying about a visa to stay there, no humidity hanging in the air all day. It\'s going to be surreal and it\'s probably going to be exactly the same, but I\'ll be experiencing it from a different perspective.</p>\n<p>I am scared about going back to the US. We have both changed so much and grown up in the past few years. Will I like it more, will it be better than I remember? Or maybe I will hate it just as much and then my back up of places to live will be crossed off the list. What if \"The Walking Dead\" is really how America is now and I\'ll be dodging zombies just to stay alive. I could even decide I need Chipotle burritos in my life so much that I will never leave. I don\'t know what to expect, I don\'t know how I will feel when I am there and that makes me most nervous about going back. Even though it\'s just a visit, I think about these things too much...</p>\n<p>Since I make Thai baht, and haven\'t saved as much of it as I should, I will be on a very strict budget while in my home country, a notoriously expensive place to travel and live. I have decided to make a little game out of it because I have no choice, and I really do think I can do it! I will be living on 23 dollars a day while in America. I sure will miss the option to buy a whole meal for just a dollar and really the point of this trip is to help me realize how good I have it here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I will be staying with friends and family the whole time, camping or couch surfing when traveling around, eating from the grocery store mostly (but I am SO excited about going to an American grocery store so it will be perfect!) and trying my hardest not to go to Target. That place is like my kryptonite.</p>\n<p>People keep saying it\'s not possible, that things are going to be more than I remember and I won\'t be able to do it. I am a different person than I was when I left, more determined, more focused, with a little more self control when it comes to shopping, and a lot less concerned with fitting in. I am not like everyone else, I don\'t have a fancy iPhone, I don\'t wear designer clothes and I don\'t need a bunch of stuff weighing me down so I can\'t move.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, I still have a lot of \"things\" here in Thailand, it is every much as materialistic as America, but I am so much happier with less now. Just seeing my friends, sitting on their couch and talking all night will be enough. I don\'t need fabulous nights out, I just want to drink cheap wine and bundle up in a big scarf. Vacationing in America, what a novel idea. My bet is I won\'t be able to get back to Thailand fast enough!</p>','','2012-12-03 08:23:32',1,'2012-12-03 08:23:32','2012-12-03 22:10:33'),(13242,52,'December 2012','december-2012','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Always check out ajarn.com\'s monthly TEFL course blog if you\'re looking to get a good deal on a Thailand-based TEFL course','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> up in Chiang Mai, recently graduated their 500th trainee from the 51st course that they have run since 2006 - so it was a cause for some celebration.

Like every good son should, I call them once a week - every Tuesday - as regular as clockwork. Thankfully we now live in an age of cheap long-distance phone calls and lord knows how many other cost-effective hi-tech ways of keeping in touch with our loved ones on the other side of the world.</p>\n<p>It\'s a far cry from the early 90\'s when a long-distance call meant traipsing down to the Central Bangkok Post Office on Charoen Krung Road and sitting in a private booth, praying you got a decent connection, praying your folks were at home...and then paying an arm and a leg for every minute and part-minute of the conversation. Oh, those were the days!</p>\n<h3>Ageing parents</h3>\n<p>My parents are now both in their mid-70s and as you would expect for a couple of relatively heavy smokers, their health is not what it once was. My mother has difficulty walking any kind of distance now following a replacement knee operation a couple of years ago. My father has just undergone his fifth operation to remove a tumor. In fact he even found himself in hospital on Christmas Day after suffering from post-op complications.</p>\n<p>Listening to family members tell you about their serious health worries never ever makes for a pleasant telephone conversation and I\'ll admit to putting down the phone on such occasions and becoming a little emotional. You can offer all the support you can over the phone but nothing ever beats being there with them in person. But here you are, thousands of miles away on the other side of the world. What use can you possibly be?</p>\n<p>Several years ago, while living in Spain, my father had&nbsp;a series of minor strokes which caused him to temporarily lose his speech and the use of one side of his body. I spent several weeks phoning the hospital every day and encouraging my Dad to get better. All he did was complain about the noise from the other patients in his ward and the poor quality of the hospital food. All I wanted was for him to say \"yes, I\'m definitely getting better\" but each phone call turned into ten minutes of stress and heartbreak. After making a full recovery, he was then diagnosed with bladder cancer. Sometimes it\'s like there is no light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>All alone</h3>\n<p>Of course, many of us expats out here in Thailand are all in the same boat. We might get some sympathy from friends and colleagues when it comes to family health issues but by and large, they are problems we have to deal with alone. And that can make life so much tougher.</p>\n<p>I was talking to a teacher a while back; in fact he was the guy who inspired me to write this short article. His mother had been diagnosed with late stage cancer so he dropped everything and got to the airport as fast as he could to get a plane back to the UK. Fortunately his school was very understanding and told him to take as much time as he needed. A cover teacher was then arranged at short notice.</p>\n<p>When the teacher got back home, his mother suddenly rallied and her condition improved. The teacher spent three weeks nursing his mother and sitting at her hospital bedside but eventually he knew he had to return to Thailand or his teaching position would be in jeopardy. So return to Thailand he did.</p>\n<p>He hadn\'t been back in The Land of Smiles for more than a few days when he got the terrible news that his mother\'s condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse, and shortly after, she passed away.. So it was another mad dash for the airport to make it home for the funeral - another costly air-fare and more time away from his classroom duties. But what else can you do in these situations?</p>\n<h3>A terrible situation</h3>\n<p>Being grateful for small mercies, at least this teacher was in a financial position to do something. I remember working with a teacher at a private language school in the mid-90s, who wasn\'t it must be said, perhaps the most careful person in the world when it came to saving money and putting a little aside for emergency situations.</p>\n<p>His mother too was diagnosed with late stage cancer but there was no way he could afford the plane fare home. He had no choice but to literally listen to his mother die on the other end of a telephone. There were no other family members he could go to for a handout and you are never going to have much luck passing the begging bowl around a teachers\' room when every one of your colleagues is living a month-to-month existence anyway.</p>\n<p>He was a very popular teacher as well, the kind of bloke who always had a joke to brighten up the greyest Monday morning. But news of his ailing mother resulted in a dark cloud descending over the teachers\' room and where there was once joking and laughter, there were nothing but awkward silences and a feeling of not being in a position to help a fellow teacher and good friend. It was a difficult time for everyone at the school.</p>\n<p>Another Bangkok expat I am good friends with - admittedly not a teacher - flew back to the USA an incredible SIX times in a 12-month period to take care of his 90-year old mother in a nursing home. Tom was his mother\'s only son, the only person she had to turn to in her hour of need. The responsibility of making sure his mother was well cared for fell squarely on Tom\'s shoulders, despite the fact it took him the best part of two days to get home.</p>\n<p>Whenever I\'m out with Tom and the conversation gets round to family responsibilities, there is always a sharp intake of breath and a shake of the head as Tom recalls what he refers to as &lsquo;his lost year\'. \"I seemd to spend the whole year either on board planes or waiting at airports. It was exhausting\"</p>\n<p>These family life or death situations are something most of us have had to deal with or will have to deal with at some stage. When I left home to come and work in Thailand, I was a young man in my mid-20s. My parents were in their late 40s and both in the prime of their lives. It never occurred to me that one day they would get old and I would still be thousands of miles away. But time catches up with everyone eventually.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It feels like every week there is news of another celebrity death - very often the names of famous people who were somehow part of your childhood or teenage years. They are a stark reminder that no one is going to live forever.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>What\'s your situation? Is there an ailing parent or two back in your home country that are a constant cause of stress and worry? Or are you &lsquo;lucky\' enough to come from a family whose members have either passed on or you have fallen out with and no longer keep in contact with?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/parent.jpg','2017-01-30 22:59:06',1,'2017-01-30 22:59:06','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(13287,59,'A teacher\'s pet peeve','a-teachers-pet-peeve','The unenviable task of having to plan lessons','Lesson planning is a routine task that has now got into my system, yet if I had my choice, I would get rid of it. But how? So several times I tried teaching without a lesson plan? Do you want to know how it turned out? I think they were better than my planned lessons.','<p>I have talked to several Filipino English teachers working in Nonthaburi and have gathered information about what they dislike most about teaching. They said monthly visits from the inspector, doing school gate duty in the mornings and afternoons, selling at the canteen, checking test papers and notebooks, lesson planning, faculty meetings, handling extra-curricular activities, training students for competitions and reviewing students for the O-net are all among the many things they dislike about being a teacher.</p>\n<p>Many of the things they said I also dislike, but lesson planning is the one I don\'t like most. Why is this so?</p>\n<p>You see, when I do my lesson plans, I always spend a lot of time preparing them. I don\'t only plan for the lessons but also prepare teaching materials. Many years ago, back in my country, I prepared lessons for several levels in various subjects. I also prepared English lessons from Kindergarten to Grade 6. During a Teacher\'s Day celebration in my country I was asked, \"Sir, what do you hate doing as a teacher?\" I replied without hesitation - \"lesson planning!\" The other teachers\' eyes turned wide in amazement.</p>\n<p>There was another instance in a seminar at Chulalongkorn University when a speaker, after assigning the task, made her rounds while we, the participants, wrote parts of a lesson plan and an explanation of each part. I didn\'t realise she had noticed my uneasiness and she checked whether I had been listening to her by examining my work. Then she asked me to make a presentation to all the other participants. I was hesitant at first but I thought that I could win her over and overcome my nerves and embarrassment. After I presented, a lady approached me, \"Sir, were you a supervisor before?\" she asked. I just smiled back.</p>\n<p>I had a negative attitude towards lesson planning before but when I won a grand prize in a national lesson plan writing contest in the Philippines, sponsored by one of the country\'s leading publishing house, I had a sudden change of heart. I bagged 50,000 pesos (more than a thousand dollars) for the first prize. It also gave me the privilege of writing a textbook. Because of that I was hired by a school to work as a consultant in lesson planning.</p>\n<p>Lesson planning is a routine task that has now got into my system, yet if I had my choice, I would get rid of it. But how? So several times I tried teaching without a lesson plan? Do you want to know how it turned out? I think they were better than my planned lessons. The lessons were so smooth, so natural, so much fun and more exciting. The students enjoyed my unplanned lessons more too. What if there was no lesson planning at all?</p>\n<p>Over the past years, I have dreamt of simple lesson plans like what we used to do in one result - oriented private school I once worked at. With a simple plan, we did an outline of the things we would do each day. It was all then written down in a memo pad. The teachers who didn\'t plan were every bit as effective as the teachers who spent hours and hours on lesson prep.</p>\n<p>In my experience as an English supervisor, consultant, and English coordinator, lesson planning is a must. Planning the lessons before coming to class gives the teacher confidence to teach but lesson plans serve only as a guide. They can be adjusted, modified, added to or improved to meet students\' needs.</p>\n<p>Do I still make lesson plans? At present, no. Last month, I was privileged to be part of a 15-man committee who made lesson plans for more than a hundred teachers in our project to be used for the whole year. Isn\'t it wonderful? Everybody\'s most hated task became a thing of the past. Now the only thing to look forward to is the execution of these plans, which I\'m certain all the teachers are keen in doing.</p>\n<p>I hope that schools in Thailand will follow suit. Having ready-made plans accessible to EFL teachers makes English teaching in Thailand easy, more fun and very enriching.</p>','','2012-12-05 02:05:53',1,'2012-12-05 02:05:53','2012-12-05 16:04:54'),(13330,57,'The Venice of the East','the-venice-of-the-east','How Bangkok\'s waterways could improve your life no end','Any reader who has lived in Bangkok near a canal for any length of time, will know not only how efficient and inexpensive the system is, but also how unappreciated and unused the system is by expats in general and how they could easily benefit from cheap, reliable and extremely quick transport around Bangkok. ','<p>Over a hundred years ago when European travelers journeyed to Bangkok, they were amazed and impressed by the complex and highly efficient canal system that allowed Bangkok to build itself into an important SE Asian capital and indeed Bangkok was even dubbed the &lsquo;Venice of the East\'. However over the last 100 years the rise of the steam train, diesel train and the motor car has meant that a lot of the well planned and efficient canal system has been filled in to make way for railways and roads.</p>\n<p>Going back of course, Bangkok was even chosen as the modern day capital of Thailand (formerly Siam) primarily because of its fantastic natural canal system, with waterways. Indeed it was initially thought modern-day Thonburi would be an ideal site for a new capital for the Kingdom, and this plan was altered when the advantages if the natural canals that ran through modern day Bangkok were recognized.</p>\n<p>It is then strangely ironic how history has now developed as Bangkok itself has developed, and perhaps Bangkok and its modern day inhabitants are starting to realize the wisdom behind the inhabitants of the original Bangkok (more about this later). As mentioned, the introduction of the steam train and subsequent rail system led to the closure and indeed deliberate destruction of many of the canal systems. Therefore not only replacing watery thoroughfares with industrial style railways, but also destroying commercial and retail zones and communities such as floating markets. And later railways themselves were replaced or added to with concrete or tarmac roads that led to the filling in of many more natural waterways to satisfy the growing demand for cars, trucks and buses.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the present day and it has become apparent (I wish I could say clear) to Bangkok\'s politicians that one of the main causes for last year\'s floods and the problems Bangkok face in alleviating the city from the excess water was due to the lack of natural canals, and if the city looked like it did many decades ago the problems would have been reduced, indeed perhaps non-existent. Therefore there is now at last a movement to open up some the unused canals in Bangkok, and who knows perhaps go back to using the canals as was the case in Bangkok 100 years go.</p>\n<p>Any reader, who has lived in Bangkok near a canal for any length of time, will know not only how efficient and inexpensive the system is, but also how unappreciated and unused the system is by expats in general and how they could easily benefit from cheap, reliable and extremely quick transport around Bangkok.</p>\n<p>If you live on Ramkamhaeng road, Sukhumvit road or Phetchburi road, you will be familiar with the canal that stretches from Bangkapi, where there is a station for the Mall Bangkapi, all the way down the length of Ramkamhaeng road and then turns to run parallel to both Sukhumvit and Phetchburi roads simultaneously. The canal then stretches all the way down past Siam square area and heads West and terminates near the Grand Palace.</p>\n<p>This stretch of canal has many boats running along its length from about 6am to 7pm at night and transports office workers, students, shop owners and a whole host of mainly locals to and from their places of business free of traffic jams each and every day. However this form of transport is not very popular with expats despite its low cost, reliability and speed. The reasons for this could easily be because of the noise and dirt that goes with the noisy diesel engine boats, and during downpours it can be an uncomfortable form of travel.</p>\n<p>However downpours do not dominate the year\'s weather and on a sunny day a ride on the canal can be one of the most pleasurable ways to travel around Bangkok. To take advantage of the current canal system it is advisable to live within walking distance or a short motorbike taxi ride of one the jetties along the canal, and with boats pulling up at the jetties every five minutes or so you never have to wait long.</p>\n<p>If for example you live in Thonglor then <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/noble-solo-thonglor-2500\">Noble Solo is located only five mins walk from the Thonglor canal jetty</a>&nbsp; and gives the resident a chance to experience&nbsp;two contrasting sides to Bangkok, the hip trendy and up market social scene that dominates Thonglor, whilst travelling on the traditional low-cost but extremely enjoyable canal system.</p>\n<p>Further down the canal it meets Siam Square and once again it is possible to take advantage of the canal system as it goes past Condo One Siam, <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/condo-one-siam-siam-square-1488\">a mid-range condo located within walking distance of the MBK center </a>and Siam square.&nbsp;A short walk over the canal bridge will allow residents to travel quickly and cheaply from West to North East of Bangkok, and with many stops in between allows easy commute to places such as the UN buildings, Asoke and Phrakanong.</p>\n<p>Hopefully the dreadful scenes we saw last year with the flooding will have a silver lining and will encourage the Bangkok politicians to open up the canal system, not only to avoid further flooding, but also to give Bangkok another way to navigate the city and therefore reduce congestion on the roads. And perhaps by pumping money into re-opening a natural canal system the BMA will be able to save money on building elevated roads and railways.</p>','','2012-12-08 23:58:22',1,'2012-12-08 23:58:22','2012-12-09 14:02:23'),(13349,71,'Teaching a six-hour Sunday class','teaching-a-six-hour-sunday-class','A world of classroom activity and the odd jaded colleague','I\'ve now taught two sessions of a Sunday 6-hour class at a language school near Ekkami here in Bangkok, and I think I have a pretty good feel for what it\'s all about.','<p>I\'ve now taught two sessions of a Sunday 6-hour class at a language school near Ekkami here in Bangkok, and I think I have a pretty good feel for what it\'s all about. The class is sponsored each week by the American Embassy, and from what I\'ve gathered, it\'s open to any &lsquo;disadvantaged\' kids who want to learn English. I\'m not sure about the application process, but I do know the kids must apply to be considered for it.</p>\n<p>There are three separate classes each week, each with a register of 25 or so students, but typically not more than 12 or so show up on any given week. I\'m also not sure exactly how the classes are divided, but I do know I have the lowest-level class in terms of skills. A British and Australian teach each of the other two classes.</p>\n<p>This is actually my first experience with people who have \"been in Bangkok too long.\" My colleagues certainly aren\'t terrible people, but I had heard that many expats who end up in Thailand have a tendency to become habitual complainers and a bit jaded after a while. Well, I\'ve finally found some. I hate to be rude and not go to lunch with them, but they certainly don\'t brighten my day by doing so. I haven\'t seen that they\'re in any way detrimental to the kids, so I\'ll just smile and go about my merry business.</p>\n<p>The kids are quite good, especially considering their ages range from probably 12-15 or so and it\'s a full day\'s worth of classes on a Sunday. When I was their age, I sure couldn\'t have dealt with sitting in a class all day on a weekend.</p>\n<p>The class is divided into three hours in the morning (10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), there\'s an hour for break, and another two hours in the afternoon. I\'ve found that I can hold their attention to learn new vocabulary and whatnot for about 30-45 minutes, tops. This isn\'t surprising, but it does make for an interesting time ensuring they at least get SOMETHING out of the following hours.</p>\n<p>I try to keep them as entertained as possible. I typically have them repeat the words I show them by acting out (they think I\'m just as crazy as my Mathayom students do at school), have each of them draw a picture of each word, and hang it in the front of the room for the rest of the class. Considering they literally speak about ten words of English among the ten or so of them, I figure subconscious immersion by having the words with pictures around them may help them to at least remember a few words.</p>\n<p>Being that Thai children are, by nature, highly competitive, I also like to have them all come up to the board (it\'s huge in my room), and compete to see who can draw the picture of the vocabulary word I say first. Since I had 10 or so students this last class, I did boys versus girls. There doesn\'t have to be a prize of any kind; they\'ll compete with each other just for the sake of whining.</p>\n<p>Granted, there are one or two who definitely don\'t want to be there, and they make it a bit difficult to have any kind of control of the class. My mentality, and that of my director of studies for this particular program, is that they\'ll get something out of just being around English for so long each week, and not to stress about quantifying how much they actually absorb.</p>\n<p>I think that, if the kids have any inkling to learn English whatsoever, they\'ll learn at least a few things; I\'m big on repetition, and by acting crazy to explain the words in the first place, they\'re likely to least have a notion of what a word is in the future.</p>\n<p>It takes an enormous amount of energy, I must say. The kindergarten class I had last week was hard enough, but six hours of these kids straight (minus the lunch, of course) takes far more effort than I imagined it would. I\'m at school 40 hours a week, but I never teach more than about 3 hours in a row. Here, it\'s an all-day ordeal after a week with no days off. I complain, but in all honesty it\'s quite a fun experience.</p>\n<p>After lunch, the kids are fairly knackered and can\'t be asked to focus on any hard-learning. The other two teachers and I plan something for them to do that\'s hands-on and not necessarily verbally English-intensive. Last week, we had them decorate Christmas trees (which put me out of 500 baht-the company didn\'t provide them), and I forced them to repeat colors and words for various items as they decorated them.</p>\n<p>This week, we had them make Christmas cards. Sure, they probably have no idea what the words we told them to write on the cards meant, but I must say: just as I\'ve said before, Thai kids seem to be the most artistic of any I\'ve seen. I was highly impressed by the creativity and artsy-quality of the cards from all three classes, but especially mine... considering they\'re not the most behaved kids. They\'re not bad, but the fact that they were so rambunctious during the first three hours made it quite incredulous that they sat almost in silence and worked like madmen on Christmas cards for two hours.</p>\n<p>There\'s something you could never do in the States. Christmas-related things aren\'t exactly smiled upon, and the fact that we were listening to Christmas music the whole time would certainly have sent a few U.S. parents over the edge. I\'m not particularly a Christmas person myself, but I do think it\'s good to expose the Thai children to the highlight of the Western world\'s year.</p>\n<p>All in all, they\'re great kids, and even greater for putting up with a class for their entire Sunday each week!</p>','','2012-12-11 01:38:39',1,'2012-12-11 01:38:39','2012-12-11 15:03:41'),(13350,71,'Father\'s Day','fathers-day','Honouring and respecting the Thai King','Tuesday\'s ceremony was quite interesting. I have no blooming idea what was going on, but I showed up in a nice yellow/gold tie with a gold flower I bought from a Thai teacher earlier in the week to show my support for the King','<p>The past week at school hasn\'t been the most productive in terms of teaching; Monday was eaten up by some kind of Buddhism testing for the youngest students and all of the older ones who hadn\'t passed it before, Tuesday had a two hour Father\'s Day ceremony that took up the first three classes\' time, Wednesday we had no school, and Friday we had some kind of fundraiser that took up most of the morning.</p>\n<p>So, all in all, class time wasn\'t in abundance. With the exception of my Mathayom 1 class, which I\'ve been trying to make sure I time right to not run out of material to teach before midterm at the end of the month, having so many missed classes all week put a strain on my timeframe for finishing projects and chapters. Once again, I say: don\'t bother planning too much in a Thai school, because the schedule WILL change. It\'s not a matter of if, it\'s a matter of when.<br />Monday\'s testing wasn\'t announced to the foreign teachers, so none of us knew why our M1 students didn\'t show up to class until we hunted down a few other students to ask what was going on. I find the whole thing highly amusing, but if you\'re the kind of person who can\'t roll with the punches, so to say, I can see how such a lack of information would be infuriating.</p>\n<p>I\'m still not exactly sure what the testing was about. All I could get out of the students later was that it was about Buddhism. I figure if I really need to know, someone will tell me... eventually.</p>\n<p>Tuesday\'s ceremony was quite interesting. I have no blooming idea what was going on, but I showed up in a nice yellow/gold tie with a gold flower I bought from a Thai teacher earlier in the week to show my support for the King;&nbsp;yellow is the King\'s color.</p>\n<p>I can also reiterate previous comments by saying that Thais love a good show. They also love to talk, usually as loudly as possible. It was quite interesting to see the whole two hour Father\'s Day ceremony, complete with gifts to the King (who had a large shrine set up in the assembly area), gifts and certificates to fathers (of the students), traditional Thai dancers, and a student band.</p>\n<p>I took quite a few pictures of the whole ceremony. This being Thailand, as a foreign teacher, I needed to \"be seen\" at the ceremony, but not knowing what my role was supposed to be in this ordeal, I tried to stay respectably out of the \"heat of the action,\" so to say. The ceremony was held outside, so I moved about taking pictures when I saw fit and only came into the middle of things when it was time for group photos at the end of the ceremony.</p>\n<p>Thais love nothing more than to have their picture taken. Seriously, vanity isn\'t seem as vanity here... it\'s seen as normal. Nothing wrong with that... I love taking pictures! But most of the Thai teachers that know me in any way wanted to have their picture taken with me too. I guess I\'m the token white guy!</p>\n<p>One of my foreign teacher colleagues who also speaks Thai says the teachers fight over who\'ll get to be my co-teachers next semester. Remembering that I\'m not in the heart of Bangkok\'s international district, I think I\'m still a novelty to the school and its teachers. I\'m flattered!</p>\n<p>Needless to say, this being Bangkok, I was drenched by the end of the long ceremony, and had to just deal with being sticky for the rest of the day. I only had two classes that day since the ceremony took the time from my first two classes, and I just went with it.</p>\n<p>Friday\'s impromptu fundraiser was interesting too, but I admit that I didn\'t partake. I was told I could walk around the school with the kids (it appeared to be some kind of walk-a-thon with raffle prizes and everything), but I really didn\'t feel like getting hot and sweaty only to have to teach in the afternoon again. Call me lame.</p>\n<p>Besides, I didn\'t find out about that particular thing until I happened to hear about it while about to leave school the day before. So I pretended not to know about it.</p>\n<p>Long story short: Thai schools and their impromptu events are interesting, if not highly entertaining. The pace of life is completely different than most Western cultures, and I, for one, think the decreased emphasis on structure is a good thing.</p>','','2012-12-11 01:45:22',1,'2012-12-11 01:45:22','2012-12-11 15:03:23'),(13351,71,'Government or private school?','government-or-private-school','Which one comes out on top for a teacher?','I have to remember that I can\'t just do things for anyone who asks, else I\'ll bleed dry in a hurry. I\'m bad about always agreeing to do things, even if they cost me time and money to do so. There\'s a point where you must say no, like it or not.','<p>I\'ve been asked by my Thai \"boss\" teacher to teach after-school English conversation classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for extra money. My first lesson, last Thursday, went quite well... I think they had fun! I only have 5 students, and although we meet outside near a sports field and it\'s quite distracting, I think they learned a good deal.</p>\n<p>They\'re not any of my students, but they\'d apparently seen me teaching while walking by and requested I teach them for an hour and a half after school. Again, I\'m flattered! I do feel a bit bad taking money for them; I get 500 baht for an hour and a half, which isn\'t great money by any means, but considering I don\'t have to travel anywhere and the kids are great, it\'s well worth it.</p>\n<p>I still feel a bit bad getting money from them-I\'m doing an activity that would typically be free in the States-but I have to remind myself that this is Thailand, and I\'m primarily here to provide a service.</p>\n<p>Actually, after my first after school lesson Thursday, I apparently impressed one of the Thai teachers tutoring a small group of my M1 students. He complicated me, and the next day I was asked if I could teach Monday/Wednesday classes after school with them too!</p>\n<p>I think the M1 students will be good, especially in a smaller group. They\'re a bit difficult to get through to in class due to the sheer number of students, which, even at a relatively low class size of 28, is still too many to get anything accomplished with such young students. They seemed thrilled with what I was doing with my little group from across the way, and all came up to me the next day begging to learn English with me.</p>\n<p>That truly warms my heart; not only is it highly flattering to have the students like your teaching style, but it\'s highly encouraging to see that they legitimately want to learn English! I wish I had been a student as good as they are...</p>\n<p>So, it looks like I\'ll be teaching a small conversational and/or science English lesson every day after school (except maybe Friday). Add that to my full-time teaching already, plus two or three classes on Saturdays at my language school and my 6 hour foray on Sundays... and I\'ve got quite the busy schedule!</p>\n<p>I have been asked to fill-in for a one-on-one class with my language school next Monday, so I\'ll have to skip my M1s at school that day. If that student likes me, though, I may have her reschedule the time to continue future classes. That would add yet another class!</p>\n<p>The problem is that as it stands, it takes me a solid hour and a half when all is said and done to get to the language school from my school, plus about 160 baht roundtrip to get there. Even though I\'m making more money from this student (420 baht/hour for two hours), it\'s not really worth the extra couple hundred baht to have to deal with the travel involved to get to the other school. If she wants to keep me as a teacher, we\'ll reschedule the time and the place to make it worth my while.</p>\n<p>I have to remember that I can\'t just do things for anyone who asks, else I\'ll bleed dry in a hurry. I\'m bad about always agreeing to do things, even if they cost me time and money to do so. There\'s a point where you must say no, like it or not.</p>\n<p>I can see, money wise, why teachers typically don\'t stay at a government school for more than a year or so; I\'m making almost as much money with my little after-school and weekend gigs as I am for my full 40-hour workweek. For me, though, I think working at the school is beneficial for me; it gives me more experience, I love the kids, and I have plenty of free time to do lesson planning for both the school and my other lessons.</p>\n<p>That being said, another thing great about the extra tutoring and weekend classes with an agency is the pure lack of need to plan as thoroughly as you must do with a regular school. My language school pretty much tells me what I need to teach on the weekends, even providing lesson plans and some props. I don\'t typically USE their lesson plans, but in theory one wouldn\'t have to put any preparation into the job; just show up, teach what you\'re supposed to teach, and go on about your business.</p>\n<p>Teaching in a school, from a money standpoint, adds the stability of a constant monthly paycheck that you may not get working for an agency, though; whereas students and classes come and go with a language school, teaching at a school is constant.</p>\n<p>That said, you can make more money in less time with a language school, so if you\'re willing to risk not having guaranteed income and money is your primary need or objective with teaching, it\'s certainly the way to go.</p>\n<p>Further, if you can land a job in an International School, I\'ve heard tell of teachers making upwards of 100,000 baht/month, which would trump bits-and-pieces of language school work in most cases. Getting those jobs, though, is difficult; they typically recruit from outside of Thailand, the positions are more competitive, and they require more experience in most cases.</p>\n<p>For a typical government school like the one I\'m working in, don\'t expect to be making more than 35,000 a month if you\'re just starting out. You can obviously make more or less than that depending on experience.</p>\n<p>I personally enjoy the school and the teachers I work with, so I\'ll stick around for at least a good while. I also enjoy having something to occupy my time; if I\'m not working on a constant schedule, I have a tendency to get lazy and bored. That\'s not necessarily a bad thing, but when I get lazy and bored, I spend money.</p>\n<p>So, to me, working in a school is really making double what I actually make: I\'m making my salary plus saving all the money I\'d otherwise be spending by being bored.</p>\n<p>Logical, eh?</p>','','2012-12-11 01:52:00',1,'2012-12-11 01:52:00','2012-12-11 15:03:01'),(13372,71,'Teaching one-on-one and agency issues','teaching-one-on-one-and-agency-issues','Preparing a student for an important exam and the joys of being paid late','Aside from keeping busy with school and extra lessons, it\'s been an interesting week.

I\'ve just finished my classes for Saturday, and I\'m killing time before going to see The Hobbit in IMAX. I just love how even the most expensive IMAX ticket is only about $6.</p>\n<p>This week, I\'ve had the pleasure of helping a student prepare one-on-one for the IELTS test, one of many English competency tests. This particular student has just finished a Master\'s degree in law, so needless to say she\'s quite sharp. I feel quite dumb in comparison. Having not taught one-on-one before, this is a new experience for me. I must say, I quite enjoy it. I feel like so much more can be accomplished than what I\'m used to in typical classes. Duh.</p>\n<p>I\'m also quite a fan of teaching for the IELTS, specifically the speaking section. I feel right at home; the speaking portion of the test is, essentially, giving an extemporaneous speech after a question-and-answer session. Impromptu or extemporaneous speaking was always one of my favorite (and most successful) extra-curricular activities, and I feel like I can really be of value to my student.</p>\n<p>The week has also consisted of after school tutoring daily after school. I am continued to be amazed by the level of vocabulary that students have in Thailand, even if they can\'t quite formulate the words into cohesive sentences. This is especially true of the students I tutor who aren\'t in the English program that I teach in; they don\'t have native English teachers daily in most cases, yet still manage to generally understand what I\'m rattling on about. I\'ve also started teaching another one-on-one class on the weekends, and it is quite challenging; it\'s difficult to teach someone who is already quite good at English something new!</p>\n<p>I insist that my students watch English speaking films whenever possible (and actually assign them to do so); in my mind, it\'s one of the easiest ways to learn and absorb English, subconsciously or not. I think I\'m going to buy a few DVDs to loan to some of the kids to help guide them to movies that are easier to understand due to slower speaking rates. We shall see.</p>\n<p>One other thing I like to do with all of my extra classes is this tongue twister: Ross ran rampantly around the wrestling ring. It forces them to practice differentiating between \"R\" and \"L,\" even inside the same word. It especially helps to show the different ways \"R\" can be used. The kids typically get a big kick out of it, and so do I.</p>\n<p>I must say, as much as I hated homework in school, I certainly can understand its purpose when trying to learn another language. I typically don\'t assign a lot, but I do like to think they at least watch an English film or listen to some English music from time to time to keep it fresh on their minds...</p>\n<p>Aside from keeping busy with school and extra lessons, it\'s been an interesting week. There\'s no point in going into details, but I will say this: do be careful what agency you sign up with. Things can easily go wrong. Our salaries were paid to us several days late, and this is after the agency changed the pay date stated on our contracts AFTER we had already signed them. Of the six or so teachers working for this particular agency at my school, one finally got full payment, two of us got payments, but less than what we were due, and the other three have still either received no payment at all or only a small fraction of what is due. To say the business is a bit dodgy would be an understatement.</p>\n<p>Even though I personally asked about possible taxes and/or fees that would come out of my salary, and even though my contract reflects what should actually be paid, that\'s not what I have thus received. I humbly suggest that, if you ever sign a contract, you make absolutely clear as to its terms. This is common sense, but if you get in a situation like this, it\'s good to know exactly where you stand.</p>\n<p>It\'s too bad, too; the school we all work at is really great. The students and teachers are all about as wonderful as you can find, so it\'s too bad that we must work through an agency in the first place. I can understand the idea behind the agency, though; the school doesn\'t want to have to hire a full-time coordinator to deal with teachers missing school and/or moving, and I can\'t blame them. Still, it\'s a shame, especially considering that bad business practices cause an unusually high teacher turnover which isn\'t ideal for students.</p>\n<p>The fact that the school pays far more for its foreign teachers than what the teachers actually get is a bit upsetting too, especially if the agency isn\'t providing any true service to the teacher. For example, for one of the two days that I had to do my visa run a few weeks ago, I did not even have a substitute teacher fill in for me even after ample warning to my company. It\'s ludicrous to me that I should be deducted salary for days I miss if no one covers for me anyway. I can understand paying the \"middle man\" if a service is provided, but that\'s not the case in our situation.</p>\n<p>The bottom line: watch out. I\'m not saying that other agencies operate unethically like this, but like in any profession, you must keep on top of your own affairs and \"watch your back,\" so to say. That said, it\'s all quite meaningless, really, considering that the world is ending at the end of the week anyway... three cheers for the Mayans!</p>','','2012-12-15 19:04:32',1,'2012-12-15 19:04:32','2012-12-16 09:09:33'),(13375,53,'A view from the student’s side of the classroom','a-view-from-the-students-side-of-the-classroom','Perspectives on becoming a student again','For the most part, I was teaching (in a variety of different capacities) during the years I was also pursuing my graduate studies.

Some people praise my Thai language skills as being near fluent while others are amazed at how little I have picked up over so many years. The truth is probably somewhere in between.</p>\n<p>With a family, and having spent much of my first 7 or 8 years in the country earning two graduate degrees while working full-time (often at more than a single job to keep the family out of extreme poverty), improving my Thai language had to be placed down on my list of priorities to some extent. Add to this, while I have maintained a residence here in Thailand where my family has stayed, I have spent around 9 months a year over the last few years working outside the country, limiting my opportunities to practice and improve my Thai skills. So like so many language learners, I have not had too much trouble in finding excuses for not improving my skills to the level where I want them to be. Speaking multiple languages is really cool, in theory, but these skills for most of us only come from hours and hours of hard work and study, which is not so cool.</p>\n<p>I felt, although I had continued self-study for many years, I hit a plateau and was not really improving. However due to some changes in my professional life, I have a bit more flexibility in work schedule and I decided now was the time to get serious and therefore I have begun an intensive Thai program at one of the country\'s better known universities.</p>\n<p>It might be interesting to share some thoughts from the language student\'s perspective.</p>\n<p>First off, a question popped into my head when I started the program. What makes a formal program different from self-study? After all there is no shortage of study materials available, books, tapes, and websites, for use for self-study. My answer, the difference is having a teacher, or in my case, teachers.</p>\n<p>Teachers of children perform a dual function in society, that of teacher as well as of babysitter. In a modern society where both parents often work, warehousing our children in schools during the workday is often the most cost efficient method of child care. Also children rarely have the self-discipline or understanding of what knowledge is needed, or expected by society, at an early stage in life to effectively engage in self-study and therefore need to guidance of an adult. But what value is created in teaching adults? Why does a university student need a teacher of economics when he/she can read (and these days listen online to) the ideas from the world\'s best known professors of the subject?</p>\n<p>In a modern society, we don\'t need teachers to pass along information, after all the answer to most questions is only a few clicks or touches away on our computers or phones. But as humans, we do seem to be hard-wired to learn from personal interactions which normally take the form of a teacher/master and students. Maybe it is because we are conditioned by the parent-child experience to learn in this type of hierarchal human relationship.</p>\n<p>Teachers seem to add to the learning experience in a manner which cannot be duplicated by mass-produced books, videos, blogs and web pages. Teachers provide structure, discipline, feedback as well as an authority figure for the student to seek to please.</p>\n<p>It is surprising how easily we change behaviors and attitudes as we assume different roles in life. I was recently in a class with a number of highly educated and somewhat professionally successful individuals (many of whom have both financial and professional status in society higher than the teacher) who paid their own money to learn Thai. Yet when we sat in the student seats we took on the role of a student and acted accordingly. Even though the students came from a wide range of cultures, both Western and Eastern, we all understood the universal relationship between a student and teacher and followed expected behaviors of a student. In the classroom the teacher automatically assumes the authority figure and this is generally accepted by the students.</p>\n<h3>A few additional observations from the pupil\'s seat</h3>\n<p>Not every student appreciates exactly the same teaching style and techniques. Students come to a class with varying existing skills and experiences as well as their own cultural and individual expectations and preferences. Techniques which work for other students don\'t automatically work for me. The more diverse the class is in regards to skills and culture, the less effective a teacher can be in meeting every student\'s needs.</p>\n<p>The most popular teachers are not always the ones students learn the most from; although the least popular teachers are usually the ones students learn the least from. While personality is important in a teacher, so is experience and preparation.</p>\n<p>Learning a foreign language is difficult and words, phrases, and grammar need to be put into context to be really understood. Teachers who can put the language into context are more effective than teachers which expect students to memorize language without showing how it is used in the real world.</p>\n<p>Criticisms of Thai teachers and Thai teaching methodology are pretty common amongst the foreign teachers working here in Thailand. However from my view from the seat of the student, my Thai teachers have been excellent. While each teacher I have had is unique and of course I have preferences, each one has always acted professionally and has come to the classroom prepared and has put into each class energy and effort. No doubt there are countless examples of poor Thai teachers which can be found, but from my experience as a student and teacher in a number of different countries, there are plenty of examples of poor teaching in every country.</p>\n<p>I have been quite impressed with my Thai teachers and their knowledge and use of modern teaching techniques.</p>\n<p>For the most part, I was teaching (in a variety of different capacities) during the years I was also pursuing my graduate studies. Now once again I am alternating between the front and rear of the classroom, and this can be an effective method to help one to keep the student\'s perspective in mind when the time of the day comes for one to assume the role of teacher.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of a number of books, book chapters, academic journal articles, conference papers, magazine articles and newspaper pieces.</p>\n<p>His books include</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An evolutionary perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking free from the colonial paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415533553/\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=2765&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia</a> (coming soon)</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2012-12-19 04:27:31',1,'2012-12-19 04:27:31','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(13383,10,'What was the top blog?','what-was-the-top-blog','What did the Google stats tell us?','Now that 2012 is drawing to a close, I thought it might be fun to look back over the past 12 months and find out which ajarn.com blog was read or viewed the most number of times.

I can\'t have had more than a handful of actual classes between the Christmas festivities (believe it or not), the week-long midterm tests, and the short break for New Years.</p>\n<p>The Foreign Language Department which, surprisingly, does not include my department, put on a nice 2-hour long show for the entire school the Thursday before Christmas. I\'m not sure why this date was chosen instead of Friday, but I do know that&nbsp;during Christmas itself, midterms were in session. It was quite nice, and I think the kids generally enjoyed it. But then again, who doesn\'t enjoy getting to miss two hours of class first thing in the morning?</p>\n<p>Granted, the ceremony was held in the outside basketball court/assembly area, so it wasn\'t exactly cool... but that doesn\'t seem to bother anyone except for the foreign teachers. The ceremony itself was conducted [almost] entirely in English, which was impressive, especially given that the vast majority of the speaking was done by students. It\'s quite heartwarming to see so many students speak English so fluently, especially in a school far enough away from the BTS and MRT public transit lines that Westerners are quite rare in the area.</p>\n<p>The Mathayom 1 class presented twelve girls to sing the 12 Days of Christmas, which was cute. I actually helped direct the a few times; they\'re part of one of my Mini English Program classes, which again, for some reason, is not part of the proper Foreign Language Department. The foreign teachers for MEP versus the regular Foreign Language Department are even employed by different agencies. Another few classes performed Jingle Bells in English, Thai, Chinese, and (I think) Japanese. That was quite neat to hear the same song in multiple languages!</p>\n<p>The foreign teachers were also introduced on stage a few times, although I avoided much of that by designating myself as photographer. I can take far better pictures than I can sing \"We Wish You a Merry Christmas,\" I can assure you. And I did: about 400 shots worth.</p>\n<p>All in all, it was a neat experience. First, it wasn\'t actually ON Christmas due to the lovely midterms. Second, it emphasized the purpose of Christmas as being a time of giving, not as a Christian holiday. I liked that. Third, it was the typical Thai school extravaganza of loosely organized chaos. I liked it!</p>\n<p>The next week was less fun. Midterms. Luckily, I only had to \"invigilate\" (monitor) exams three out of five days; they ran basically all day, every day. It really wasn\'t too bad, but if I hadn\'t had a computer to keep me occupied playing an old computer game (Empire Earth back from like 2001... remember that one?), I\'d probably have lost my mind in boredom.</p>\n<p>Our (the foreign teachers\') purpose was to make sure no one cheated, but really I think we were there more for show. That\'s fine, but even if I could have understood half of what was going on in the random classroom I was assigned, I don\'t feel it would be my place as a foreigner to accuse a student of cheating. <br />Instead, as I would make my rounds, I would give stern faces with a slight smile to students I saw peeking around. Even without speaking the same language, people understand the \"I know what you\'re up to\" face.</p>\n<p>My schedule was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so I was actually free on Christmas proper. We were allowed to leave after we came in on days that we had no testing, so after Skyping with my family (which I hadn\'t done since... August), I headed somewhere I\'d been itching to go: Lumpini Park.</p>\n<p>What a surprise! I just took a book, my camera, and a bottle of wine, and I had a lovely day from around noon until the sun went down. It\'s hard to believe that such a beautiful and serene park exists slap-dab in the middle of bustling Bangkok, but it does! And it\'s big enough to be covered by two MRT stops, so it\'s got quite a nice size about it, yet not so big (such as Central Park in New York) so as to get lost. Been there, done that. It actually reminded me a lot of Madrid\'s largest park, whose name escapes me at the moment. Not sure why... perhaps the multiple statues, lovely mini-lakes with paddle boats, and walking/running paths all about.</p>\n<p>One thing Madrid doesn\'t have, though, are the impressive komodo dragons I saw. I was reading my Jeremy Clarkson book, giggling to myself, when all of the sudden I looked up and boom: a meter-long lizard was right in front of me. It then proceeded to eat a turtle, which everyone seemed to get a kick out of.<br />I won\'t lie, I took a few pictures myself. Sorry, PETA.</p>\n<p>The weather was probably the coolest we\'ve had in Bangkok all year, so all in all I\'d say it was a great Christmas Day, finishing off a relatively easy couple of weeks at school. I think I may try to move closer to Lumpini Park, actually...

This one is about the good ole US of A.</p>\n<p>I ended up getting a ridiculous sinus infection this past Friday, possibly as a result of not really sleeping for the last two weeks. But no matter.&nbsp; Let\'s think of a typical experience in the motherland. I get one of these infections about once a year, and it\'s always the same story in the U.S. First, be miserable enough to want to go to the emergency room in a hospital, but resist the urge due to the $200 co-pay with my fairly good insurance.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to switch to third-person now, just for kicks.</p>\n<p>Then, finally, get someone to help you make an appointment at some doctor\'s office first thing in the morning. The office will usually act as though they\'re doing you a huge favor by \"squeezing you in,\" just as you feel like you\'re on death\'s doorstep. You\'ll then have to wait for hours that day (unless, of course, you can\'t be \"squeezed in\" until tomorrow), then drive or get driven to wherever the oh-so-kind office is. You\'ll wait in a freezing waiting room full of screaming kids while your head counts down on its implosion clock until the receptionist finally calls you to make sure they take our insurance. Because if they don\'t, you can forget it.</p>\n<p>Next doctor. So make sure you check beforehand in your wretched condition.</p>\n<p>Finally, you\'ll get called into the back, where you\'ll wait for another eternity before a doctor actually comes in. She or he will then tell you exactly what you already know, write you a prescription for some antibiotics and whatever else may cost some money.</p>\n<p>After this, services rendered, lots of waiting for a few short minutes diagnosing, you\'ll be cheerily escorted to the cashier, pay, and be on your merry way.</p>\n<p>Next stop: pharmacy. Drive again, drop off your prescription, wait an hour for someone in a white coat to pour some pills in a bottle, hope your insurance covers most of whatever it is, pay the co-pay.</p>\n<p>Then, home. Phew. This is quite the process!</p>\n<p>Now let me run-down what I experienced here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Struck with a sinus infection. Know exactly what it is because I get it every year. Suffer through the night, miserable enough to want to go to the emergency room, but unable to move.</p>\n<p>Miss school. Get hate letters from the agency talking about how you\'re in breach of contract by being sick without notifying them.</p>\n<p>Finally, able to move, walk to large 7/11 convenience store, about ten minutes. Go to in-store pharmacy. Tell them the antibiotic you need, the same one you must get prescribed each time at home.</p>\n<p>Within 30 seconds, antibiotic needed is ready at cash register. Pay about $12 without any insurance whatsoever. Go home. Take drugs. Get better.</p>\n<p>... now, let\'s compare these two stories. I\'d have to say that, aside from the hate letters from the agency, Thailand\'s process for a known illness is a tad bit easier to handle. And, in my case versus my experience in America, about $100 cheaper. Remember, in the US I had great insurance. Just IMAGINE what it would have cost if I didn\'t.</p>\n<p>I can completely understand the reasoning behind the US system of over-carefulness; drugs should be administered safely and correctly, and you should always know what\'s actually wrong with you. But, even if I wasn\'t positive of my illness (based on multiple past experiences), I can find a doctor here, no appointment needed, and pay about 1000 baht ($30) on-the-spot, no insurance needed.</p>\n<p>Chances are, whatever she/he tells me I need, I won\'t need a prescription for. Why? Because, in general, people here aren\'t dumb enough to go buy a box of antibiotics unless they need them. Sure, the \"dangerous\" drugs are still kept under lock and key, permission needed, but the petty little things (such as buying contact lenses, which you can even buy in metro stations here-WITHOUT a prescription) aren\'t worried about.</p>\n<p>These things being said, I humbly suggest that the healthcare system theory in Thailand, a third world country, trumps that of what is often called the most powerful nation on Earth. Why?</p>\n<p>1) People aren\'t forced into thinking they must go to the doctor for the slightest sniffle, so that doctors only must deal with serious issues.</p>\n<p>2) Doctors and pharmacies don\'t have a monopoly over an individual\'s health, thereby disallowing them to have total control over treatments and treatment methods.</p>\n<p>3) Costs are kept down because people aren\'t suing doctors for petty mistakes after being forced to use them in the first place. Pharmacies can\'t charge as much money because people aren\'t forced into their hands with prescriptions from doctors.</p>\n<p>4) People are generally less displeased with their government, are forced to use their own brains from time to time, and create a happier society.</p>\n<p>Ok, so I pushed the last point there a little bit.

I can\'t speak for other nationalities, but for my fellow Americans, my suggestion is this: call up your local congressperson and politely ask that she or he resigns.</p>','','2013-01-06 21:01:48',1,'2013-01-06 21:01:48','2013-01-07 11:11:49'),(13447,59,'Aiming high for o-net','aiming-high-for-o-net','Changes that should be made in preparing students for the o-net','February 2, 2013 is the date for the O-net examination in Thailand (Ordinary National Education Test).

This is the day that level 6 and 9 students\' are assessed in their proficiency in all subjects. That\'s why nowadays all Thai schools prepare intensively to improve their students\' performance.</p>\n<p>Before I came to my school in 2010 the grade 6 students performed last in the administered O-Net in the district. My director wondered why it was so. Were the Filipino teachers assigned in other schools in the district better than the teachers assigned in my school? Or was it because of the students?</p>\n<p>So, I asked the Thai teachers in my school why the students did not do well in that assessment. According to them, the students were not very good in English particularly in reading. Other than this, testing did not accurately measure the students\' capability because listening and speaking were the focus of teaching yet testing involved a great deal of reading. It was like teaching students science and they were being tested in math. Naturally, students did not fare well.</p>\n<p>With that information, I worked on my students\' reading skills. Although I was determined to improve our grade 6\'s performance I couldn\'t do much for their English level and reading ability again were low. So I used previous test exams, and additional reviewers similar to the given tests.</p>\n<p>With so little time to prepare, my students were able to obtain a 15% mean average. It was very low indeed, but what could a not-so-good class do? Anyway I wasn\'t dismayed because the students did not score well in other subjects either.</p>\n<p>With the poor scores of my students, I scheduled a regular review for the next batch. I gathered more review materials, reviewed every week, and asked for three Thai teachers to help me. The batch was quite similar to the first one but the difference was that the students were highly motivated, more confident and better prepared. With the extra effort we exerted, the students scored 25.77%. Compared to the previous test they had improved by 10%.</p>\n<p>In February 2013, I am very confident that the next set of students will be able to achieve a 35-40% mean average. You see, the present batch has better English proficiency and has had sufficiently more review time. In addition to this, Thai teachers have helped in the review too. More importantly, I have a lot of review materials, the school gives support, students are motivated, and our Thai English teacher requires them to master at least 20 new words per week.</p>\n<p>In order that students can get high O-Net scores, schools simply have to give their full support. There was a school in the Philippines where I taught for 6 years. This school ranked number 3 in the National Elementary Achievement Test in Metro Manila. In the succeeding year, it ranked number one.</p>\n<p>One of the factors was the full support of the school via review classes, payment of teachers who helped the review, provision of good reviewers; accompanying students to the testing center, and even praying for the students.</p>\n<p>Another contributing factor to the success of this school was their grading system. In order for students to pass their quizzes, long tests, mid-term, and final tests they should get 80%.</p>\n<p>One more thing, Thai teachers should team up with foreign teachers in the review. It is hard for foreign teachers to review grammar and difficult concepts when the foreign teacher doesn\'t speak Thai. Reviewing rules of grammar or analyzing dialogue situations to students who don\'t understand is a complete waste of time.</p>\n<p>Of course, the actual learning of English in the classroom from kindergarten to grade 5 really matters. If the students had better grammar instruction from their Thai English teachers and reading from foreign teachers every year, their English knowledge would be far more adequate whenever the O-Net test was given. That\'s why after working in the project for nearly six years now, I recommend that in public schools, teaching of reading should be the main focus of English instruction.</p>\n<p>I have seen my grade 1 students use the tablet given to them by the government. There are a lot of English songs, dialogues and activities there, but students can\'t read them. So, the use of the tablet will be more effective if students can actually read. <br />There should be a paradigm shift from what students were doing three years ago from speaking and listening focus to the integration of the four language skills - namely reading, speaking, listening, and writing.</p>\n<p>We foreign teachers are very good at teaching conversation skills. We can continue to do that and we must also be sure to teach the students to read and write what they are actually saying and hearing - individual words first then building structures leading to whole sentences.</p>\n<p>This time, the teaching of reading should be the emphasis so students will be prepared for 2015. Once this is done and institutionalized in government schools, high achievement of students in O-Net in the future will no longer be a dream but indeed a reality.</p>','','2013-01-09 03:33:39',1,'2013-01-09 03:33:39','2013-01-09 17:05:40'),(13461,57,'The plus points and the downsides','the-plus-points-and-the-downsides','The advantages and disadvantages of different types of Bangkok properties','The best way to choose which type of property is suitable for you is to decide which one is best for your own lifestyle and needs.

Mick Jagger famously sings \'you can\'t always get what you want\' and this is a message that most mature people understand and accept without much fuss (of course ironically Mr. Jagger has it seems got a lot more than most people out of his life).</p>\n<p>So this message applies to real estate in Bangkok, and anyone who has moved to Bangkok to live or is a current resident of Bangkok and is thinking of moving to new property, the pluses and minuses of any new property have to be weighed up.</p>\n<p>Whatever type of property you are considering, whether it be an apartment, a condominium a townhouse or a detached house there will be several other factors that need consideration.</p>\n<p>&bull; Costs and budget<br />&bull; Location<br />&bull; Size of the property<br />&bull; Ease of transport to and from the property (convenience)<br />&bull; Hidden costs (e.g. ravel costs, time in traffic etc)<br />&bull; Amenities (WiFi, TV, Phone etc)<br />&bull; Facilities (swimming Pool, parking etc)<br />&bull; External Amenities (near by supermarket, 7-11 etc)<br />&bull; Livability (cleanliness, age, comfort etc)</p>\n<p>However in Bangkok as in many cities around the world there are four distinctive types of property in which to live, and although not every type of property will be consider by every Bangkok resident or expat looking for accommodation, it is worth analyzing the various advantages and disadvantages presented by each type of property.</p>\n<h3>Condominiums</h3>\n<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Often located within walking distance or short motorbike ride of a BTS/MRT station<br />2. Often new and well designed<br />3. Utility bills paid direct utility company, no premiums<br />4. Flexibility of amenities (choose your own internet package etc)<br />5. Facilities often generous - swimming pool, fitness studio, car park etc<br />6. Security usually good and very safe</p>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages </strong></p>\n<p>1. Often smaller than other forms of property<br />2. Often more expensive per square meter than other forms of property to rent<br />3. Landlords can be a mixed bag - could get unlucky of you deal direct with an unscrupulous or naive landlord<br />4. Difficult to meet neighbors - not much sense of community<br />5. Almost certainly will not allow cats, dogs and large pets<br />6. No gas cooking allowed</p>\n<h3>Apartments</h3>\n<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Often located within walking distance or short motorbike ride of a BTS/MRT station<br />2. Usually better value for money to rent per square meter than a condo<br />3. Facilities often generous - swimming pool, fitness studio, car park etc<br />4. Security usually good and very safe<br />5. Kitchens may be fitted with gas cookers<br />6. Will possibly allow small pets such as cats and lap-dogs</p>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Can be old and have poor lay-outs - wasted space<br />2. Central landlord controls all units, so not much room for negotiation on many aspects of living<br />3. Amenities often predetermined - no flexibility on internet and TV packages<br />4. Difficult to meet neighbors - little sense of community<br />5. May not allow pets - depends on owners building policy<br />6. Utility bills will often be subject to a premium making bills more expensive</p>\n<h3>Town-houses</h3>\n<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Will allow pets such as dogs and cats of any size<br />2. More living space than condos or apartments in general<br />3. Outside living space as well<br />4. Often a sense of community in the Moo Baan<br />5. Easy to meet neighbors<br />6. Flexibility of amenities (choose your own internet package etc)<br />7. Gas cooking allowed</p>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Lack of facilities - swimming pool and fitness studios rare<br />2. May be at risk of flooding if we have a return of the 2011 crisis<br />3. Security often not as tight as condos or apartments, so theft or break-ins are possible<br />4. Townhouses near BTS/MRT stations are often expensive if of high quality or new.<br />5. Older buildings may be subject to problems such as damp or termites<br />6. Moo Baans are often located further from BTS/MRT stations due to land restrictions and prices</p>\n<h3>Detached Houses</h3>\n<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Will allow pets such as dogs and cats of any size<br />2. More living space than condos or apartments in general<br />3. Outside living space as well<br />4. Often a sense of community in the Moo Baan<br />5. Easy to meet neighbors<br />6. Flexibility of amenities (choose your own internet package etc)<br />7. Gas cooking allowed<br />8. Possible garden area for kids, pets or bbq\'s</p>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong></p>\n<p>1. Lack of facilities - swimming pool and fitness studios rare<br />2. May be at risk of flooding if we have a return of the 2011 crisis<br />3. Security often not as tight as condos or apartments, so theft or break-ins are possible<br />4. Townhouses near BTS/MRT stations are often expensive if of high quality or new.<br />5. Older buildings may be subject to problems such as damp or termites<br />6. Moo Baans are often located further from BTS/MRT stations due to land restrictions and prices</p>\n<p>So by taking into account all of the above it is clear that there are some unavoidable compromises that have to be made, by most residents and none of the above options offers the perfect solution. The best way to therefore choose which type of property is suitable for you is to decide which one is best for your own lifestyle and needs.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

It\'s not something I would expect from a Thai government office, and the process is far more efficient than getting a passport or similar document in the States!','<p>Well, I\'ve finally visited Bangkok\'s Immigration Office... and I must say, I\'m impressed.</p>\n<p>I\'m currently staying in Thailand on a double entry tourist visa that I obtained in Laos back in November, but one of the stipulations of using that to get a full six months in the country is that you apply for a 30 day extension after 60 days per entry. Naturally, it costs another 1,900 baht just for this 30 days... making the cost of living in Thailand on a tourist visa around 6,000 baht for six months.</p>\n<p>But remember: that doesn\'t include travel costs to get the visa to start with, nor the cost of the border run to activate the second entry.</p>\n<p>Anyway, the process of extending the visa was remarkably simple: show up in the highly impressive and ridiculously huge government complex not too far from Bang Khen (about a fifteen minute taxi ride from Sripitum University if you\'re around Phohon Yothin Road), and make your way to the building in the very back of the complex. Once inside, go to the second floor and look for the signs pointing to the immigration bureau. If memory serves, it\'s behind you once you\'re up the escalator if you go into the main entrance.</p>\n<p>You\'ll need a passport picture, a copy of your passport (and visa(s)), 1,900 baht, and a smile. Remember, the agents can pretty much do whatever they want... your job is to not make them want to deny you an extension. Haha</p>\n<p>You can get passport photos and copies of your passport on the ground floor (near the building\'s entrance)... 4 pictures and copies of all pertinent pages of your passport for 100 baht. Not bad considering I forgot to bring mine.</p>\n<p>After that, it\'s easy. Fill out the form the nice ladies at the information desk in the immigration office give you, following the examples that are clearly posted right where you fill out the form. It reinforces the fact that this process, however easy, is a formality to get another 1,900 baht out of you.</p>\n<p>Let the ladies check your form, and then you\'ll be directed into another large room. One of the security officers will check your form and your passport and give you a queue number. For visa extensions, you\'ll wait right around the corner from these security officers. There are signs clearly marking which area is for which service.</p>\n<p>Once called, hand in your form, passport, and money to the agent, wait about ten or fifteen minutes, and they\'ll call you again with your newly extended visa in your passport. In total, not counting the taxi ride, the whole process took me less than an hour.</p>\n<p>I must say, I\'m highly impressed with the efficiency of the whole process. It\'s not something I would expect from a Thai government office, and the process is far more efficient than getting a passport or similar document in the States! The building the office is hosted in is highly impressive too; I don\'t know I\'ve been in many buildings that are more massive. Nice.</p>\n<p>Of course, it\'s off to Cambodia for a border run in less than a month, but hey... to live in paradise, you\'ve just gotta do what you gotta do.</p>','','2013-01-27 22:10:43',1,'2013-01-27 22:10:43','2013-01-28 12:12:44'),(13507,71,'School open house','school-open-house','Not something you would expect to find in a Western school','For the past few weeks, all the students in our school have been preparing projects, posters, and games for the school\'s Open House Expo which is apparently held once every three years.\n\n','<p>For the past few weeks, all the students in our school have been preparing projects, posters, and games for the school\'s Open House Expo which is apparently held once every three years.</p>\n<p>Me being a science teacher, my students prepared projects about environmental issues (M3) and physics (M2). My M2 students\' work was displayed as part of the expo. I had them do a project I did back in middle school called The Great Paper Airplane Project.</p>\n<p>As you may imagine for a group of twelve-year-olds, having permission to make paper airplanes for class was a big hit.</p>\n<p>The students did a great job with the project. I had them make three different airplane designs in pairs, and then use the Scientific Method to hypothesize and determine what airplane flew the farthest. They had to fill out a small booklet following their steps through the Scientific Method, create a poster with the results (and other required items per my rubric), and present their findings to the class.</p>\n<p>I was quite impressed! Remember that I teach the equivalent of the \"gifted program\" in the States, but even then the amount of effort put into the project quite surprised me! The presentations weren\'t half bad either, considering English isn\'t their mother tongue.</p>\n<p>The Open House event, which lasted two days, contained these projects and many, many others from every class in the school. It was truly a lot of work to behold, and the idea was that parents could come see what their kids were learning about. Unfortunately, even though the event lasted two days, I didn\'t see too many parents. Although it would not be good for the teachers, per se, I think the better option would be to hold the event on a weekend; that way, parents who work during the week would be able to visit... which is the whole purpose of the event.</p>\n<p>Even so, the students generally enjoyed not having classes for two days (duh), and it was great going around seeing all of the different work. Even though most booths were set up in Thai, most of the students were at least generally able to tell me what their projects were about. And, minus the language barrier, the pictures certainly helped.</p>\n<p>Some of the highlights I saw included one showing how to create biodiesel. Another was a dunking booth where students could pay 20 baht to try to dunk one of their teachers (always fun). Another was one of the foreign language booths involving reading your fortune and talking about Zodiac Signs.</p>\n<p>Probably the strangest one I saw was about Buddhism, heaven/hell (which I didn\'t know existed in Buddhism), and how to live your life (complete with the birthing process graphically displayed, I may add). That one probably would have pissed off one or two parents in America.</p>\n<p>Hell, what am I saying: the school system would probably get shut down.</p>\n<p>But that was a tip of the iceberg compared to the ridiculously fun dancing events and concerts I saw. The expo opened the first day to about 200 students dancing a well-choreographed show that largely included unedited American pop songs. Hollaback Gril by Gwen Steffani was probably the funniest thing. I\'m not sure if the students have any inkling what they\'re saying when they\'re pulling out the cool moves while singing \"the shit is bananas,\" but they sure had a good time doing it.</p>\n<p>The talent show towards the end of the festival was quite fun too. The winner, as I understand, got 5,000 baht, second place 3,000 baht, and third place 2,000 baht. That\'s a lot of money for a student. That\'s a lot of money for me!</p>\n<p>Perhaps the coolest thing about open house, though, was the rave and metal concert that ended the expo. Seriously, on this huge stage constructed in the area where the school typically has assembly each morning, complete with a professional sound system and lights, they played rave music (dubstep and remixes) while something like 400 students jumped up and down like they were in a legitimate club. And this is at three in the afternoon.</p>\n<p>It was so cool to see the students having so much fun! Even without being heavily intoxicated, which is what I usually require to enjoy a rave and/or live concert. After the rave, there were five student bands that played a variety of mainly Thai rock and pop songs, but I was most impressed with the metal band. Metal\'s not my favorite kind of music, but seeing a boy who couldn\'t have been more than 16 screaming Avenged Sevenfold while another fellow that couldn\'t have been older than 12 played some impressive guitar was just awesome. It\'s crazy how much talent these kids have at such a young age.</p>\n<p>I think I\'m pretty safe in saying that such an event (either the concert OR the Open House itself) wouldn\'t be seen as valuable use of time in a U.S. school. I\'m sure I\'m also safe in saying that dancing to unedited music wouldn\'t make the cut either. As for the rave and/or metal/rock/pop concert I saw... well, let\'s just say there\'d be a few thousand students waking up in jail, and the courts would be so overcrowded with lawsuits that they would implode.</p>\n<p>That\'s what I love about teaching in Thailand: learning can be fun. Sure, the kids may not learn as much as Western students, or even those in neighboring soon-to-be-ASEAN countries. Sure, they don\'t know jack squat about history or geography, or really anything that isn\'t Thai-centric. But in the grand scheme of things, the students get to do a lot more of what kids are supposed to do: have fun.</p>\n<p>I realize that, especially with ASEAN coming up, saying such a thing may not be in Thailand\'s best interest. It would obviously be beneficial to have the students learn, in the very least, enough to compete with neighboring countries, and I would fully support such an initiative. But within the cultural and governmental system we\'re working with in Thailand, and with the extreme resistance to changing anything as I\'ve seen, I see no reason not to look on the bright side.</p>\n<p>I\'m just a farang, after all.</p>','','2013-01-27 22:17:35',1,'2013-01-27 22:17:35','2013-01-28 12:12:36'),(13514,52,'February 2013','february-2013','All the latest promotions from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','Course discounts, news of new training staff, free travel writing workshops, online study, lucky draws, special deals, guaranteed job projects, genuine graduate testomonials and much more in our monthly TEFL course news blog.','<p><img height=\"303\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/2students.jpg\" width=\"380\" /></p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p><strong>Text and Talk Academy</strong></p>\n<p><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/textandtalk.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />Don\'t forget that Text and Talk Academy has a training center in Khon Kaen if you fancy doing your TEFL course somewhere a bit different to the usual offerings of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, etc. All the information you need is on the <a href=\"http://www.teflteachthai.com/\">Text and Talk website</a>.

I had a wonderful time.\n\n','<p>I\'m currently sitting in the Hat Yai airport waiting for my return flight back to Bangkok after five days in one of the most beautiful areas I\'ve ever visited. This area of Thailand certainly isn\'t for everyone, but I must say... I had a wonderful time.</p>\n<p>Because I had Thursday and Friday off this past week for reasons that I still do not know, I decided to visit a friend living in Satun, about an hour and a half from Hat Yai International Airport and the same from the Malaysian border. And because it was in the air whether or not we had to work Wednesday or not (I was told yes versus no about fifteen times over the course of the week), I ended up leaving school early on Wednesday being that I had already booked my flight out around noon that day. Oops.</p>\n<p>I flew from Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok (a nice and quiet airport) via Air Asia for about 3,500 baht round-trip. Air Asia is the equivalent of RyanAir in Europe, but the seats are slightly more comfortable and airport security isn\'t nearly as much as a pain to go through. Although buying and printing tickets is a bit of a pain with Air Asia, the experience has been fairly positive. Had I booked my flight a week earlier than I did, I probably could have gotten round-trip for right at 3,000 baht, which isn\'t bad for an hour and a half trip both ways.</p>\n<p>Anyway, Hat Yai\'s airport certainly isn\'t much, and after getting scammed in a taxi to get to the minibus station at a nearby Tesco Lotus (about 15 km from the airport), I was on a minibus en route to Satun for 70 baht.</p>\n<p>Note on the taxi: I couldn\'t find the baht bus to get to the Tesco, so I hired what I thought was a 30 baht 1990s model Nissan rattle-trap car to go the ten minutes. The driver, well skilled in deceit, then changed his mind to 300. Not the end of the world, but it did piss me off a bit. Oh well, what can you do. Getting mad doesn\'t accomplish much.</p>\n<p>There isn\'t much to Satun itself. There are a few little restaurants (one named \"On\'s\" that was particularly good), a few little shops, maybe three 7/11s that I saw, and a Big C not too far from the town center. Still, realize that this is a big change from Bangkok. I can\'t walk to the nearest 7/11? What is this sorcery?</p>\n<p>My lovely friend is the only foreign teacher at a technical school in the town, funded by an ASEAN grant of some sort. The school is far smaller than the school I work at, but everyone I met when I visited the school was extremely nice and incredulous at the sight of a \"new\" farang. The level of English in the region, needless to say, is far worse than Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I\'m told there is a night/day difference in English speaking and development in general just over the Malaysian border, but I didn\'t get a chance to check for myself.</p>\n<p>Satun is a sleepy town, and there is very little to do in the town itself. There are a dozen or so foreigners living in the area that I met, but seeing a white-skinned person here still garners stares and smiles. The area used to belong to Malaysia, as I understand, so the area has a large Muslim population and many mosques. I saw more mosques than Buddhist temples during my visit, which is a different experience from what I\'m used to in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Each evening, my friend and I would peruse a few restaurants and bars in the area, but the pickings were slim to say the least. Even so, the relaxed atmosphere in all of them and the lack of hustle-and-bustle outside that I\'m used to in Bangkok was a wonderful change.</p>\n<p>Still, I hate staying still for too long unless it\'s on a beach. So, during my second morning in town, I decided to rent a motorbike. Allow me to note here that, although I have ridden on several motorbikes in Thailand, I have never actually driven one... ever. But, I figured that if everyone else can do it, why can\'t I? Besides, compared to Bangkok, the traffic in Satun is non-existent, so it\'s as good of a place as any to learn.</p>\n<p>It only cost 300 baht/day for this little automatic Honda that got wonderful fuel economy. No need for a passport, no deposit, no license check... just sign your name on some piece of paper, and the bike\'s yours. It was as easy as buying a newspaper.</p>\n<p>After I figured out that you have to hold the left hand brake and be sitting on the bike to start it, I got off to a shaky start and was off! It didn\'t take long to get the hang of it. The bike just... goes... wherever you happen to be looking.</p>\n<p>I explored the city a bit, randomly wandering around the rural, winding roads, being careful not to hit the multitude of goats and cows that mosey around to their heart\'s content. This being my first true experience with rural Thailand-genuinely rural-I am still in awe at the magnificent landscapes and utter tranquility I came across. It was lovely to feel so laid back in a country where I already thought I WAS laid back.</p>\n<p>Bangkok may be relaxed compared to a city in the States, but it can\'t hold a candle to Thai countryside. During this first day on the bike, I spotted a sign that looked like a pier or some sort of water feature, so I decided to follow it. Voila! I stumbled across a fairly large freshwater river (or more likely, brackish), took some lovely photos in the small fishing village next to it, and eventually made it to the ocean. Who would have thought?</p>\n<p>I arrived at the port (I assume it\'s the Port of Satun) around low tide, but it was still beautiful to behold, especially for someone like me who is addicted to the sea. The smell of ocean... ah! Apparently there are ferries that can take you to nearby Thai and Malaysian islands, but unfortunately I didn\'t have the time to pursue any island excursions during this trip. The whole experience of the day was lovely; once you get out of Satun proper, the scenery is amazing. Completely rural, various rubber tree farms and small rice paddies, and genuinely kind and relaxed Thais.</p>\n<p>The next day followed suit too. After I had breakfast at the little restaurant that I rented the bike from, I headed to what\'s known as Monkey Mountain. It\'s literally right next to the town, and doesn\'t take more than ten minutes on a bike to get there if you don\'t get lost like I always do. Oh well, that\'s part of the fun. The mountain is part of a park of some sort that contains several picnic areas and a stream circling around the mountain. And, as the name would suggest, many monkeys. Oh, and don\'t forget the random goats, which appear to be the landscaping service for the park.</p>\n<p>By 9:30 in the morning, I had climbed this small mountain and discovered an abandoned gazebo of sorts at the top. I was the only person there, which was amazing, and once I sat still for about a minute, I counted a dozen or so monkeys. This is highly interesting for me because I\'ve never actually seen a monkey outside of a zoo, much less taken pictures of them. I\'m quite the shutterbug, and Monkey Mountain did not disappoint.</p>\n<p>After about fifteen minutes of making no sudden movements, these wild monkeys became brave enough to come right up to me. They\'re remarkable to see up close; their curiosity, dexterity, and highly amusing behavior caused me to hang out with them all for about two hours. Just me and the monkeys, so to say.</p>\n<p>One particularly brave fellow spent a good 45 minutes trying to steal my flip flop off of my foot. He gained a following of young monkeys by the end of his endeavor, but eventually gave up grabbing with his tiny little hands and multiple mouth-grabbing attempts in lieu of a loose board from the pavilion I was sitting in that acted like a trampoline. That provided him entertainment for another 45 minutes. It was highly interesting to watch all of them going about their lives up-close-and-personal. I\'m not typically big on zoos or animal watching, but this was quite a wonderful experience.</p>\n<p>Around noon, I decided to try to find a beach my breakfast restaurant owner suggested. Once again, the motorbike journey was awesome, taking me through several rubber tree groves, chicken farms, and jungle areas in the 20 or so kilometers it took to get to the beach. The beach area I ended up in, whose name I can\'t remember, reminded me a bit of the coastal plains between Savannah and Brunswick, Georgia, in the U.S. The area is largely untouched with just a few small villages dotting the area. Just based on the looks I got, waves of surprise, and shouts of \"Farang! Farang!\" by the children, I\'d say they don\'t get very many Irish-looking people around. It\'s nice to see there are still places in the world largely untouched by Western influence.</p>\n<p>By this point, I was stopping frequently to take pictures of the increasingly beautiful scenery. I finally reached the crest of a large hill and wow! Ocean with mountains in the background. The terrain changes so quickly from coastal wetlands to mountainous areas to beach that I could barely catch up. Breathtaking is about the only word I can think of to describe the mix.</p>\n<p>I explored a few beaches, which were largely rocky but with lovely coarse sandy areas intermittently, and stumbled upon an extremely secluded beach after a fifteen minute walk along the coastline. I couldn\'t find any motorbike paths leading to it, and I didn\'t see very much litter of any sort (which unfortunately resided in a few other beach areas I saw) nor human activity.</p>\n<p>It was so secluded, in fact, that I felt it necessary to walk around in my birthday suit (not the most exquisitely tailored, I must say), just because I could. I can\'t say that I\'ve visited a more peaceful place in my life... and I have the sunburn to prove it. Nothing like a little skin cancer to spice life up a bit. Hey, at least there will be a good story behind it...</p>\n<p>I won\'t say that the beaches in this area are the most beautiful I\'ve ever seen, nor are they necessarily the cleanest. But the tranquility they offer, with the constant breeze, lack of people, and mountainous background certainly make them top-notch in my book.</p>\n<p>I never bother planning things properly, so after a few hours I realized it may be necessary to find some food and water. You can forget finding a 7/11 around here, but I did stumble upon a little beachside restaurant with the best seafood fried rice I\'ve had and a large Coke for 60 baht (2 USD). The Muslim ladies that ran the largely deserted place (it was Friday, not the weekend), all seven of them, got a big kick out of me. Aside from the lady that appeared to be in charge, none of them spoke any English, but they were still trying to set me up with one of the girls that looked to be my age. I feel loved, I think.</p>\n<p>That evening, I attended my first South African \"Bri\" (no idea how to spell that). I would call the event a grill-out or barbeque, but whatever you call it, it was a lovely time with several of the foreigners in Satun. And I\'ve gotta hand it to the South Africans: what little food I had was excellent. A true treat.<br />Visiting a mountain in the morning and beaches in the afternoon equals a wonderful day in my book. Add a nice barbeque to the mix, and the result is about as perfect of a vacation as is possible.</p>\n<p>I loved the beach so much that I returned the next day with my friend and another lovely person from the event the evening before. I was painfully sunburnt this time and had already returned my motorbike (sadness), but it was still quite lovely to return. I can now say I\'ve seen the sun set over the Andaman Sea!</p>\n<p>Today, my host treated me to a trip to a beautiful park about 40 kilometers away. My butt is still a bit sore from the trip on the back of a motorbike, but the park itself was breathtaking... much like the scenery I\'ve seen everywhere I\'ve visited in the Satun province. This seems to be a running theme of rural Thailand. It reminded me a lot of the Appalachians in the States; not ridiculously steep, but certainly a mountain by all definitions. There were stairs leading up to the main \"bath,\" a roughly 7\' pool at the bottom of a series of small waterfalls. It wasn\'t overly crowded, making it a quite pleasant family day Sunday. We (the three of us-my host, her friend, and myself) were the only foreigners in the whole park, and the kids got a big kick out of it.</p>\n<p>Me being me, I couldn\'t stay still when I knew the mountain kept going up. So, I somehow managed to climb up a series of other waterfalls past where the park steps ended, walking through the stream itself in several parts, with my expensive camera until I reached a waterfall of probably 30\' or so. Oh, it was lovely. No one was around, being that this wasn\'t exactly a kid-friendly type of climb, but I thoroughly enjoyed the hike. Even more, though, I enjoyed the tranquility of it all... the beautiful waterfall, jungle-like surroundings, and cooler-than-I\'m-used-to-in-Thailand temperatures.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I didn\'t have too much time; I had to catch the last bus into Hat Yai to fly back into Bangkok at 5:00 p.m., so we had to leave the park not much after 3:45. I shall certainly return upon my next visit and do some thorough exploring... although possibly without my expensive camera, as wonderful as it was to have along.</p>\n<p>Had I known the last bus (minivan) into Hat Yai was at 5:00 p.m., I wouldn\'t have booked the last flight into Bangkok... 10:20 p.m. Oh well. I ended up taking the van too far anyway, and had to catch a bike taxi back to a Tesco Lotus Supermarket I remembered seeing on the way in, then (after a leisurely Japanese dinner) another bike to the airport.&nbsp; At least THIS time, the cost to get to the airport was only 150 baht, not 300 like it was upon arrival.</p>\n<p>So, there you have it! A lovely trip in what I would call the \"REAL\" Thailand. Naturally (I\'m back now), the first thing I encountered upon landing in Bangkok was waiting twenty minutes in a taxi que at midnight before re-entering the madness that is Bangkok with a taxi driver who was obviously dropping acid. Rather surprised I made it home, actually...</p>\n<p>If I didn\'t have debts in the U.S. to pay back, I think I could see myself living somewhere like Satun, or at least rural Thailand near mountains and the ocean. You don\'t make much (30,000 baht seems the going rate, or $1,000/month), but you also don\'t spend much. Petro for the motorbikes is ridiculously cheap (about $1/liter, but a liter on a bike gets you a LONG WAY), rent is ridiculously cheap (roughly what I pay in Bangkok... $150), and food is about the same as in Bangkok.<br />Hell, my TOTAL trip cost, including taxis, airfare, eating, many drinks, ...EVERYTHING, was right at 8,500 baht, or $285. Five day vacation for under $300 TOTAL. Anywhere else, I\'d spend that on just DRINKS for a few days.</p>\n<p>Of course, to even get to a movie theater or store that has a possibility of selling black pepper (or foreign food at all), you\'re a solid hour and a half from the nearest... anything.</p>\n<p>Honestly, I feel like living somewhere like Satun is something I should keep as an option for later in life; the atmosphere is SO laid back that I may slip into such a state of relaxation that I lose interest to visit other places... which is not an option.</p>','','2013-02-04 00:10:40',1,'2013-02-04 00:10:40','2013-02-04 14:02:41'),(13522,53,'Choice as a source of wealth','choice-as-a-source-of-wealth','Real \"wealth\" is not primarily about having material possessions or money','Being a native speaker of the language people around the world use gives me wealth as it is an incredible source of international career opportunities.\n\n','<p>In writing my latest book, The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia, I had the opportunity to examine and reevaluate what were the actual meanings of the terms poverty and wealth. Of course at a superficial level we can assume wealth means having a lot of money while poverty implies having little or no money. But how useful are these definitions? Why do people want money? How does having money actually improve people\'s lives?\n<p>A wealthy man might go to bed hungry due to fasting for religious or health reasons and a poor man could also go to bed hungry due to not being able to afford anything to eat. Although they are both experiencing hunger, are they in the same situation? If not, what makes the two experiences different?</p>\n<p>The point I argued is the difference is not in the hunger, it is in having or not having a choice. The wealthy man chose hunger while the poor man had hunger thrust upon him. Wealth is having choices while poverty is primarily the result of a lack of options.</p>\n<p>Real \"wealth\" is not primarily about owning material possessions or having money, it is about having choices in how to live one\'s life and spend one\'s time. A point made in the book is the primary reason the trillions of dollars given away in charities and development aid around the world has had almost no effect on reducing poverty is these types of programs generally assume poverty is the absence of money. And therefore supply specific items which outsiders assume are wanted and needed by those in poverty. But rarely do these programs allow for or create additional choices for the individuals being targeted. This top down approach has not proven to be a successful model.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, the world has seen greater poverty reduction in recent years than ever before in the history of mankind with most of this reduction coming in East Asia (China and Vietnam) where there have been few charities operating but where foreign and local investments have created millions of job opportunities which individuals could choose to take, or not. This has proven to be a successful model.</p>\n<p>While seeking greater material possessions is a common goal, it is rarely the sole purpose in life for most individuals. People want a variety of different things out of life, such as time to relax, travel, friends, and many other tangible and intangible \"things\" according to their cultures and personal preferences.</p>\n<p>Increasing opportunities have proven the most effective method of decreasing rates of poverty and improving people\'s standards of living. Given opportunities and choices, individuals generally know how to improve their own lives better than do government officials or charity organizations.</p>\n<p>Who knows the most about what you want out of life?</p>\n<p>I suspect each of us would answer this question with the same answer, me.</p>\n<p>Allowing people to decide for themselves what is important where options are available seems to be a better path to take than allowing one set of people to decide how another set should live and what they should have.</p>\n<p>Thinking of wealth as an increase in the choices available can be a useful frame of mind in both our teaching and career development. Helping students gain mastery of the English language can create more choices for them in sources of information, entertainment and occupations. Friends and acquaintances enrich people\'s lives and having foreign language skills can increase the choices of friends and acquaintances for both the students and teachers.</p>\n<p>For students, learning English opens up the possibility of engaging with people in both the real world and electronically from around the world as English is the most used second language. And while English is spoken fairly widely in Thailand and many other countries, it is not universally spoken and learning the local language of the country a teacher is working in increases opportunities to engage with people from various walks of life.</p>\n<p>What do people primarily want from their professional career? Some people might primarily want high salaries. Some might want to engage in meaningful work while still others might be mostly looking for a stress-free lifestyle with a lot of free time. People might want different specific things from their jobs and careers, but one thing everyone wants is increased choices. The best solution to a bad job is having the opportunity to take a good one.</p>\n<p>During the first year I was living here in Thailand many years ago, I recall having a conversation at a beach with a lady from France who was backpacking through Southeast Asia. At the time I was teaching English, and she reflected on how lucky I was. She astutely identified the incredible number of opportunities I had, which she didn\'t, to work across Asia due to little more than having the foresight to be born in a country where English was the native language. She was right; being a native speaker of the language people around the world use gives me wealth as it is an incredible source of international career opportunities.</p>\n<p>However, as a person gets settled and wants to advance in one\'s career, it is a good idea to increase the level of skills and abilities which also increases one\'s career choices. If seeking further education, one might want to consider whether it is a good idea to pursue studies which would help only in increasing options in the field of English teaching or to study a subject which might open up many other possibilities.</p>\n<p>In addition to education, there are many other ways to increase one\'s career choices, such as studying new languages, saving money which can be used in starting a business or learning computer programming or other skills. These days it is unlikely one can rely on a single employer for job security and advancement throughout an entire career.</p>\n<p>Therefore the best method to ensure job security and advancement opportunities might be to be constantly upgrading one\'s skill set to ensure one will always have options for other work if a change becomes necessary or desired. In addition, our specific wants and desires change over time and what might have been a dream job in the past could become a trap one cannot escape from if new career options are not available</p>\n</p>\n<p>There has been some research which shows having more money, up to a certain point, can increase one\'s overall happiness. It is not necessarily the money or the material possessions which enrich one\'s life. A possession which one person enjoys can be useless to another. For example, having a large yacht won\'t do much to improve the life of someone who gets seasick easily. Instead, it is the increases in options available to the person which can significantly improve the quality of one\'s life.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of a number of books, book chapters, academic journal articles, conference papers, magazine articles and newspaper pieces.</p>\n<p>His books include</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An evolutionary perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking free from the colonial paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415533553/\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>And Scott\'s latest book <a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=2765&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia</a></p>\n<p><img height=\"382\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Ssott_book.gif\" width=\"260\" /></p>','','2013-01-18 18:47:04',1,'2013-01-18 18:47:04','2013-03-06 16:04:05'),(13539,57,'Up the junction','up-the-junction','Two of Bangkok\'s nightmare traffic junctions','The most famous junction in Bangkok for expats is Asoke junction, where Sukhumvit road crosses over Asoke road (which confusingly turns back in Ratchada road once Sukhumvit has been crossed).

This got me thinking about some of the worst junctions in Bangkok, not rail, but road!</p>\n<p>There are of course dozens of terrible junctions in Bangkok and far too many to cover in this blog, but I\'ll just review two of the worst. There is a silver lining here though, and that is that these days, where there is a terribly congestion junction, there is often a BTS/MRT line or even a station in existence, or being built, or in the planning stages. And where there is a BTS or MRT station there are often very convenient and attractive condos or apartments.</p>\n<p>I\'ll start with probably the most famous junction in Bangkok for expats and that is Asoke junction, where Sukhumvit road crosses over Asoke road (which confusingly turns back in Ratchada road once Sukhumvit has been crossed). I\'m guessing every expat that reads Ajarn.com has been caught at this junction at one time or another, in the back of a taxi or driving themselves. What a mess!</p>\n<p>It is very conceivable to be caught in traffic leading up from Phetchburi road to Sukhumvit road for 20-30 minutes (some people will have worse stories than that) while the vehicle only travels 1-2Km. However the good news of course is that there is no need to travel to Asoke junction by vehicle from any direction between the hours of 6am-midnight, as the BTS and MRT are both running and both of these systems have a station that even link to each other at Asoke junction.</p>\n<p>Of course situated around and close to the junction are popular venues such as Terminal 21 the newish shopping mall &amp; cinema complex. There is Exchange Tower, mainly an office block, but also containing True Fitness gymnasium, and the Interchange building, which has both offices and serviced apartments.</p>\n<p>Given its popularity Asoke junction has a lot of excellent condos and apartments within a 500m radius, such as <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-wind-23-asok-1501\">The Wind 23 condominium</a>, one of the condominiums we have often highlighted as one of the best all round condos in Bangkok. Containing mainly one bedroom and two bedroom condominium units The Wind 23, has been very popular with clients whom are teaching at international schools in both the Sukhumvit and Ratchada areas of town.</p>\n<p>Of course Asoke junction is not the worst junction in Bangkok and according to statistics compiled by the BMA that dubious honor&nbsp;goes to&nbsp;the junction that meets the river at Saphan Taksin. According to BMA traffic data compiled in 2008, there are over 50,000 vehicles that cross this junction mainly from one side of the river to the other each day. With the number of people in these vehicles being just 80,000 people, so less than 2 people per vehicle.</p>\n<p>To combat this increasing problem, the BTS at last in 2008 opened up the stations of Krungthonburi and Wong Wien Yai. This has of course taken some of the traffic away from this junction and given commuters a much easier and simpler option to get to work or home. Conveniently built next to the new stations are some excellent brand new condos, which offer great value for money compared t many other BTS and MRT linked areas. <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/villa-sathorn-krungthonburi-2160 \">Villa Sathorn</a> is such a condo, with large sized brand new condos and units from studios to three bedrooms, there is something for most requirements.</p>\n<p>So it seems as long as one chooses their property carefully and make sure it\'s in a convenient location then there is no need to find yourself \'Up the junction\' despite how bad Bangkok traffic gets.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

It\'s always open and the clothes are always ready and hanging neatly on quality plastic hangers. And the two ladies who run the joint count every single item and enter it into a computer so you know exactly where you stand and when you need to pay them more money. And if they ruin a shirt - as sometimes happens - they pay the full purchase price, no questions asked.</p>\n<p><strong>A choice of supermarkets</strong></p>\n<p>I love cooking and eating but I hate supermarket food shopping. When I need to push a trolley around a supermarket, I want to know instantly where everything is and I want to be out of the place as quickly as possible. The weekend hours are far too precious to have to spend them traipsing up and down supermarket aisles.</p>\n<p>I have four local supermarkets; Foodland, Tesco Lotus, Makro and Carrefour. The bulk of my shopping I do at Foodland. Yes, it\'s a little pricier than its competitors but I know where everything is displayed and I can pick up a week\'s groceries in less than half an hour.</p>\n<p>As is often the case though, there are a few items I need that Foodland just doesn\'t have - so once every three weeks, I\'ll make the trip to Tesco and buy those things that only a supermarket giant tends to stock.</p>\n<p>I never go to either Makro or Carrefour; I just find them far too big and chaotic. But it\'s nice to have a choice of supermarkets nearby because you can rarely get everything you need under one roof.</p>\n<p><strong>A fresh food market of some description</strong></p>\n<p>Although Foodland is my choice of supermarket, for some reason their fresh fruit prices are outrageous. I\'ve long wanted the chance to confront the person responsible for the pricing of such items and ask him if he lives in the real world. Does he actually know what normal people pay for their apples and oranges?</p>\n<p>So it\'s always nice to have a fresh market option in the neighborhood - somewhere just a few minutes walk away. Thai fresh markets are brilliant - not only for being cheap but also for letting you select small quantities of stuff and avoid having to chuck half of it in the bin at the end of the week because it\'s all gone rotten - as I often seem to do.</p>\n<p><strong>A fitness club / gym</strong></p>\n<p>I was bitten by the fitness bug a few years ago and now I\'m a gym regular, either pounding out the miles on a treadmill or lifting dumb-bells under my trainer\'s watchful eye. I can\'t believe I\'d ever be saying this but I just can\'t imagine life without those gym sessions.</p>\n<p>My neighborhood doesn\'t have many plus points, but it does have a modern gym and spa complex with great staff and facilities - and all just five minutes walk away. If you go during the day when most people are at work, you\'ll virtually have the place to yourself.</p>\n<p>I\'m one of only half a dozen foreign members anyway so I\'m something of a novelty. Quite a few of the &lsquo;braver\' Thai members like to chat with me and practice their English - so going to the gym has become something of a social occasion as much as a place to improve my fitness.</p>\n<p><strong>Close proximity to a BTS station</strong></p>\n<p>Before the Sukhumwit line was extended to Bearing Station in the east, it would take me at least an hour to get into Bangkok using a combination of taxi and sky-train from Onnud (which was then the end of the line) Now it\'s a 5-minute taxi ride to Bearing and I know that barring any major disruption or disaster, I can leave my home and be in downtown Bangkok within thirty minutes.</p>\n<p>Oh boy has it made life so much easier. I don\'t venture into Bangkok that often but in the past, when someone arranged to meet me for lunch on Sukhumwit, it was like planning an expedition. Now I know I can leave home, enjoy a nice lunch with a friend, get back home - and only use up half a day at most.</p>\n<p>Proximity to a sky-train station opens up the whole city and a whole new world for you.</p>\n<p><strong>A place to just sit and breathe</strong></p>\n<p>This is one thing my neighborhood totally lacks - a park or some sort of open space where one can just sit and watch the world go by. Whenever I\'m in the Sukhumwit area around the Emporium Shopping Mall, I\'m always envious of the folks who can make use of that lovely little park next door. And what about those lucky buggers who live in spitting distance of Lumpini Park? Wouldn\'t it be wonderful to just sit back under a shady tree, by the side of the lake, dip into your backpack for a good book - and imagine you haven\'t got a care in the world.</p>\n<p><strong>A shopping mall or two</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m quite lucky in terms of shopping malls. I\'ve got Paradise Park, Seacon Square, Central Bang Na and Megamall Bang Na, all just a 10-minute taxi ride away.</p>\n<p>There\'s no getting away from the fact that walking around an air-conditioned shopping mall is one of Thailand\'s favourite pastimes so if you can\'t beat &lsquo;em, you better get out there and join &lsquo;em. And it\'s nice to have a choice of course.</p>\n<p><strong>A few decent Thai restaurants</strong></p>\n<p>Although there is usually a great choice of restaurants in shopping malls, you\'re not always in the mood to get a taxi or park your car and then half to negotiate half a dozen escalators to get to your favorite eateries. You don\'t always have the time.</p>\n<p>This is when you need a good selection of simple, local Thai restaurants or food-shops where you can enjoy a duck and rice for 50 baht a head or perhaps something a little more up-market where even ordering drinks and a few dishes won\'t run a hungry couple in excess of 500 baht.</p>\n<p><strong>A computer repair shop</strong></p>\n<p>We\'ve all been there haven\'t we? The trusty PC breaks down and you\'ve now got to juggle your computer case in and out of a vehicle and then cart it up to your friendly computer repairman on the 6th floor of the nearest shopping mall.</p>\n<p>Is there anything more awkward to carry than a desktop computer as it gets heavier with each energy-sapping step?</p>\n<p>There aren\'t many street-side computer repair shops around but if you\'ve found one and you\'ve got a good relationship with the staff - and they do a fast and decent job with the repairs - it\'s going to take an awful lot of stress out of your life.</p>\n<p><strong>A good selection of street-food stalls</strong></p>\n<p>The famous Thai street-food is not quite the bargain it once was, but there are still those occasions when all you can be bothered to do is pick up a couple of plastic bags from your favourite footpath vendor and zap the contents in the microwave back home.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t realize how important a decent selection of street-food sellers was until I moved to a neighborhood that didn\'t have any.&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/thumbsup.jpg','2015-10-14 07:13:12',1,'2015-10-14 07:13:12','2015-10-14 21:09:13'),(13559,59,'Beyond speaking day','beyond-speaking-day','Activities to get your students talking','My school director asked me to organise an English Speaking Day in our school. When I implemented the idea, my director was overwhelmed by its impact on students\' interest and English language development.','<p>More than a year ago, the Thai education minister directed all schools in Thailand to hold an&nbsp;\'English speaking day\' every week. This was in preparation for the&nbsp;ASEAN community in 2015. Since it was a laudable idea, my director asked me to have one in our school. When I&nbsp;implemented the idea, my director was overwhelmed by its impact on students\' interest and English language development. He told me to do it often. So instead of having speaking day once&nbsp;a week, I&nbsp;organised it every day. Can you beat that?</p>\n<p>Previously, I shared in my blog some of my activities. Now, I have come up with more speaking activities you can try:</p>\n<p>1. Sing to Me - Four Students sang in front of the student body. They sang songs learned in class. They were simple songs like, \"The Foolish Man\" \"There\'s a Tree\" and \"It\'s Love\" The best singer won.</p>\n<p>2. Phonetics Review- Since I taught the students the sounds of letters from A to Z, I let the students by grade recite the phonetic sounds of the alphabet like Aa apple, Bb ball, Cc cat. The student who recited the most phonetic sounds in correct order won.</p>\n<p>3. Big Book Story - Since I made 2 big books measuring 20\" by 30\" of 6-8 pages, I let my students read the story by groups. One served as the reader, others helped to hold and flip the book. Two groups presented and the whole student body chose the winner.</p>\n<p>4. Deliver it to Me - Here 3 students delivered memorized speeches about themselves from 7 to 13 sentences depending on the level. The student who delivered the best speech won.</p>\n<p>5. Read to Me - With the help of words printed in flash cards, students read common words like Big C, 7 Eleven, Pepsi, MBK, etc. in a race. The reader who scored most won.</p>\n<p>6. Talk About a Picture - A composite picture (a picture with 3 or more characters doing certain things in a given place). The picture was colored and printed in A3 paper posted on an artist\'s easel. Using a pointer, the student, acted as a teacher, pointing to the characters in the picture and described them from 2-8 sentences depending on the level. Before the student described the picture, the student said something about themselves. The best speaker won.</p>\n<p>7. Role Play - Students were given copies of dialogues. The students in pairs mastered and presented them. Three pairs presented. The best pair won.</p>\n<p>8. Anagram - Using letters of the alphabet, two groups raced in forming words. The group that garnered the highest score won.</p>\n<p>9. Finger spelling - Using the ASL finger spelling, students read the words spelled by the teacher using ASL (American Sign Language). The student who got the highest score was declared the winner.</p>\n<p>To be successful in implementing any of the activities, I have some tips for you:</p>\n<p>a. Practice the students before performing. <br />b. See to it that all students have the opportunity to present. The&nbsp;not-so-capable&nbsp;ones could also perform with a group. <br />c. Involve other teachers in judging the presenters.<br />d. Ask assistance from the school regarding prizes.<br />e. Presentations should not be more than 5 minutes.<br />f. Assign tasks in advance to give them ample time to master their assignments.<br />g. Let the students sit while watching when the ground is clean and dry.<br />h. Praise students for the good performance.<br />i. Post student/level assignments so that they can anticipate when their turn comes.</p>\n<p>So, have you selected one activity for your English Speaking Day?

It\'s not that I think I\'ve done a poor job, but I know there\'s always room for improvement. Besides, I\'d hate to get bored; a bored teacher equals bored students. Bored students don\'t learn.</p>\n<p>To me, it\'s hilarious that I\'m even thinking such things. I wasn\'t exactly the most well-behaved student in school. Sure, I made all the grades and was on virtually every team in the school (hey, it was a small school), but my in-class performances weren\'t the highlight of my teachers\' days. Oops.</p>\n<p>Although we\'re having agency issues at the school (as always - more on that in another entry), I anticipate I\'ll be returning to my school as a science teacher. The biggest problem I face is that the English level of my rising Mathayom 1 students is far from what it should be to teach the topics I must teach them. Something tells me that, if the students can\'t understand my telling them to write their names on their papers, they certainly aren\'t going to understand balancing chemical equations and the electromagnetic spectrum.</p>\n<p>My rising Mathayom 2 students are a different story; for the most part, their comprehension level is good. That means I\'ll have a fairly easy time teaching biology and other subjects to them as Mathayom 3 students. But that still begs the question of what to do with my upcoming M1 and M2 students.</p>\n<p>I think my approach will be different for the first level next term. I\'ve been trying to teach the students what I am required to - primarily vocabulary surrounding the topics - but I think it\'s too far over their heads. I think that to start, I\'ll have them all translate the English vocabulary words I give them into Thai before starting the explanations in English. I\'m thinking it\'d be a great thing to do after they finish a test to keep them relatively quiet and occupied. Obviously, it\'ll have to be for a grade; otherwise, they won\'t do it. If I was a student, I wouldn\'t bother either. I hope this won\'t be necessary for the other classes, but if need be, I\'ll see how it plays out.</p>\n<p>My other intention is to get the students talking a lot more. This is really my purpose in being here; sure, I\'m teaching science, but what they\'re really wanting is English with a scientific twang. Well, maybe not twang, but you get the idea.</p>\n<p>As a teacher, it\'s difficult to relinquish the control of the class to the students when you think they aren\'t completely understanding, but I think that forcing them to speak in English about the various topics will help it stick in their minds better than my speaking to them. I think I\'ll employ the methodology of some university classes I took in Germany: teach a bit, but let the majority of teaching fall to the students themselves through the use of small group projects and presentations.</p>\n<p>I\'m not the world\'s biggest fan of presentations, but having the students prepare topics is a nice way to force them to learn about it. This will be difficult, though; there\'s no stopping them from using the Thai Wikipedia to copy/paste everything into presentations (of which I have seen a lot), and it\'s difficult to keep the students paying attention to their peers during presentations in the bigger classes. I\'ve had each class this semester do at least a few presentations, but I think that giving them more responsibility for teaching the material will benefit them.</p>\n<p>As for class control, we\'ll have to see what my new class of M1 students are like. There will probably be only 30 or so of them, but that\'s plenty considering the role the school expects me to perform. I generally don\'t have problems with discipline (the students are great, mostly), but keeping their attention is another story.</p>\n<p>Not that I can blame them. I was a terror when I was their age... the student who was always in the time-out desk behind the door.</p>\n<p>My theory is this: start off fairly stern and strict, with the sly smile now and then, to set a precedent. Then, after the first few days and they\'ve warmed up to you, relax a bit. That way, they know that you mean business when you flash that stern look, but they won\'t think you\'re a monster. I always appreciated that of my teachers in high school; set the bar, then relax unless someone crosses the line.</p>\n<p>Teaching certainly isn\'t rocket science. But if you really want to get the students to gain anything from their time with you, it\'s best to go in with a strategy-no matter how small. I\'m always open to suggestions!</p>','','2013-02-14 18:11:27',1,'2013-02-14 18:11:27','2013-02-15 08:08:28'),(13592,71,'A day in Ayutthaya','a-day-in-ayutthaya','Temple-spotting is a fine way to spend a Buddhist holiday','Apparently, Monday was (loosely translated) Buddha Day.

Until about mid-day Monday, though, I had no idea why; I\'ve gotten to the point where I just accept that random holidays pop up, and if I\'m lucky enough to be told beforehand that I don\'t have to work, I count it as a win. Apparently, Monday was (loosely translated) Buddha Day. It is therefore fitting that I should visit temples for the day, and thanks to an invitation from a lovely fellow teacher at school, that\'s exactly what I did!</p>\n<p>Ayutthaya is a mere hour and some change train ride from Bangkok. If you travel from Bang Khen or Lak Si stations not too far from JJ (Chatuchak) Market, it costs a whopping 20 baht each way to get there and back on the 3rd class trains. Granted, they don\'t have air con, but when the windows are open, it\'s really quite lovely. I won\'t say the ride there on the train is particularly beautiful; the outskirts of Bangkok are quite dirty, sadly, and the scenery isn\'t anything of note. But once you\'re in Ayutthaya, the scenery changes quite a bit! Yes, it was hot. Very hot. But well worth it! If you\'re not used to the Thai heat, I\'d recommend lots of water. Luckily, unlike the Grand Palace in Bangkok, wearing shorts is A-OK.</p>\n<p>We rented bikes for the day at 40 baht each. Not too bad! The bikes are definitely the way to go; there are many temples scattered around the area, and if you only have a day (like we did), the bikes cut your travel time immensely. You could get a motorbike for something like 300 baht, which is still cheap, but I figure... why try to kill myself on Buddha Day? The bikes were a bit tricky to get across the river the few times we crossed; you either must ride over a traffic-laden bridge or take a river ferry, which requires carrying the bikes up the riverbanks to and from the ferry. Good exercise.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t tell you how many temples we visited. There were many. I\'m fairly sure we traveled somewhere in the vicinity of 20 kilometers over the course of the day, according to my friend\'s iPhone map. How\'s that for efficiency?</p>\n<p>There are plenty of beautiful places to see. I wouldn\'t say they are overly impressive from a historical standpoint if you\'ve been to Europe (to which I am a bit biased), but circa 1390-ish for many of the ruins is certainly nothing to scoff at. The Thai architecture is quite beautiful.</p>\n<p>On the downside, as a foreigner, you must pay 50 baht per temple for an admission fee (10 baht for Thais). It\'s not that much, granted, but if you go see just 6 temples, that turns into 300 baht just to get inside to walk around. I didn\'t mind paying, but just be prepared to spend a bit of money if you\'re making a teacher\'s salary in Bangkok in Thai baht. In many places, I could probably have been dishonest and just walked in; there aren\'t exactly strict security measures enforcing these fees. But, I have no problem supporting the cause of keeping up the sites... providing that\'s where the money goes. That, and surely it\'s bad karma to break into temple grounds without paying?</p>\n<p>It was neat to be in the former capitol of Siam, walking through the ruins of a city that used to house one of the largest (by population) cities of its day in the world. You can\'t help but be sad that there isn\'t more left of the once magnificent temples and palace (cheers, Burmese invasions), but what does remain certainly is beautiful to see.</p>\n<p>The various sites were also far different than historical sites I\'ve seen in Europe in their level of organization. Whereas handrails, barriers, warning signs, and other \"for your protection\" measures are in place in most old places I\'ve visited thus, this is Thailand and those things aren\'t nearly as important. I love it. If you don\'t want to fall off of the platform you\'re standing on, don\'t stand so close to the edge!</p>\n<p>While en route between temples at one point, traffic had to stop to allow people riding elephants to cross the street. Elephant crossing. I love it. Not to mention the little elephant show we came across as we were riding. The trainers had one baby elephant dancing (literally) to some Thai music. So cute!</p>\n<p>At one of the temples we visited, a woman told us about how the flood in 2011 affected the various temples. She told us that she was one of the only people around with a boat, and ended up ferrying people around for weeks. Her thoughts on the flood, loosely translated, were that it was great for business! Although, she did say she was sad that the flooding caused some damage to the various historical sites.</p>\n<p>Some signs are in English, but most are in Thai. My friends joked that I was paying 50 baht per temple to get a ticket that said the place name in English. I therefore don\'t really know what a lot of the places were, but they were still beautiful to visit. It\'s a good thing I have a digital camera; I\'d have gone through ten rolls of film in the brief time we were there!</p>\n<p>Even though there were uncountable temples and various Buddhist sites in the area, every one of them had throngs of people. This was partly due to several tour buses we encountered, but also due to the religious holiday. It was neat to see all of the Thai people \"getting merits,\" as it was described to me, by paying homage to the various sites with gifts and prayers.</p>\n<p>One \"good luck\" activity I saw were people buying small fish in plastic bags at street vendors near the river. They would purchase the fish, bring them down to the river in a plastic bucket, and release them. I think it brings good luck to the people releasing the fish, but as soon as we got back up to the bank, there were twice as many fish in captivity as there were when my friends bought the fish! That seems a bit odd...</p>\n<p>I won\'t pretend to understand half of the Buddhist traditions and customs; what little I do know about Buddhism is based on the Indian variety, and in Thailand things seem much different. But, I can certainly appreciate that the people around me seemed to be genuinely using their day off to pay homage to parts of their culture, and were enjoying doing so.</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard that you can take a boat from Bangkok to Ayutthaya and back, but I never found out how/where to do it. If I visit again, I would certainly like to try. I bet it\'s expensive, but hey. New experiences.</p>\n<p>We left Bangkok at 7:30 a.m. and were back in town by about 6:30 p.m. For a day trip from Bangkok, if you\'re into history, I\'d say it\'s hard to beat Ayutthaya.</p>','','2013-02-27 01:31:30',1,'2013-02-27 01:31:30','2013-02-27 15:03:31'),(13595,10,'A world of too much choice','too-much-choice-no-good-sir','Nowadays we definitely have too much information at our disposal','I\'m convinced that we are beginning to live in an age where there is simply too much information available to us.

Our regular hotel in Kowloon, The Novotel, was unfortunately fully booked so we had the unenviable task of choosing somewhere from scratch. Somewhere we had never stayed before.</p>\n<p>We knew exactly where we wanted to be in terms of location and after looking at Google maps, we quite fancied the look of The Regal Kowloon Hotel.</p>\n<p>This fine-looking, modern hotel ticked all the boxes and then some.</p>\n<p>It was a fortune cookie\'s throw from the harbor. It was surrounded by shops and restaurants. It was a five-minute walk to the nearest subway station. It even promised free wi-fi. It looked like the perfect choice.</p>\n<p>Of course what I should have done there and then is whipped out my credit card, booked it on-line, and not given the hotel another thought until the airport shuttle bus dropped us off at reception with our suitcases.</p>\n<h3>Hotel reviews</h3>\n<p>But why make life easy when you\'ve got the chance to make it difficult? So I foolishly decided to peruse the 2,456 reviews of The Regal Kowloon, Hong Kong on Trip Advisor. Oh Lord, when will I ever learn?</p>\n<p><em>\"The unfriendliest hotel staff I have ever encountered\"</em> said one reviewer.</p>\n<p><em>\"The check-in procedure was a nightmare. It took us four days to get our room keys\"</em> said another.</p>\n<p><em>\"I wouldn\'t stay there again if it was the only hotel in Hong Kong. I actually thought about checking out and sleeping on a bench in the park\"</em> added a third.</p>\n<p>Three reviews in and it wasn\'t looking good for The Regal Kowloon. But hold on......what\'s this?</p>\n<p><em>\"The staff were wonderful and the hotel couldn\'t be in a better location. I shall certainly stay here again\"</em></p>\n<p>This was followed by <em>\"what a fantastic hotel. We were upgraded to a penthouse suite on the 50th floor with magnificent views of the waterfront - and the manager - a Swiss fellah I think he was - even carried our bags for us\"</em></p>\n<p>Double-checking that neither of those reviews were actually written by the manager, I flipped a coin, it landed on &lsquo;heads\' and I booked The Regal Kowloon.</p>\n<p>We stayed there for five nights, the staff were terrific, the check-in procedure was atrocious, the view from our room was to die for and no, the manager didn\'t carry our cases up to the room.</p>\n<p>I gave it a glowing report on Trip Advisor.</p>\n<h3>\'One-off experiences\'</h3>\n<p>The dilemma of relying on Trip Advisor for a hotel recommendation often boils down to just one question - do you seriously want to stay in a hotel that has 500 good reviews and 499 bad ones?</p>\n<p>Does that one extra positive review tip the scales in the hotel\'s favor? Or are the 500 reviewers who gave the hotel the thumbs-up the type of people who would be happy to sleep anywhere as long as it wasn\'t outside?</p>\n<p>What you always have to keep in mind is that reviews of hotels or restaurants or tourist attractions, etc are always &lsquo;one-off experiences\' They are snapshots of life, fleeting moments in time. They\'re unreliable at best.</p>\n<p>We\'ve all had days when we\'ve gotten out of bed the wrong side and as we trudge through the day, everything just seems wrong with the world. Days when the steak at the restaurant is overcooked, the hotel room service is too slow, the queues at the fun park go back for miles and the night safari is a rip-off.</p>\n<h3>Holiday plans</h3>\n<p>I recall spending hours of my life researching Paris on the internet.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Wifey and I decided to do Paris one year for our annual Songkran escape and I appreciated there was much to see and do in what is undoubtedly one of Europe\'s finest capitals.</p>\n<p>I kind of had an inkling already of what I wanted to see but that didn\'t stop me checking at least fifty Paris travel&nbsp;websites first.</p>\n<p>Firstly, The Louvre Museum. I mean, you\'ve got to go and see The Louvre haven\'t you? How could you contemplate going to Paris and not seeing the Mona Lisa?</p>\n<p>Yes, I know you have to shove crowds of tourists out of the way for a photo opportunity - and I know that even then, the painting will still be so far away it\'ll be like looking&nbsp;through a rolled-up newspaper with an eye closed. But it\'s the Mona Lisa innit?</p>\n<p><em>\"Don\'t miss The Louvre\"</em> said a blogger on one website I looked at -&nbsp;<em>\"allow yourself at least a couple of days to wander down its vast corridors and feast your eyes on its treasures\"</em></p>\n<p>Should I believe her? She\'s clearly an art lover - which I\'m certainly not.

It has existed for nearly 9 years now but I haven\'t read a personal account yet from someone who is a part of it. ','<p>The Nonthaburi English Teachers Project (NETP) in Thailand began in 2005. It has existed for nearly 9 years now but I haven\'t yet read a personal account from someone who is a&nbsp;part of it. Having an opportunity to do this, I would like to give it a place in my blog as I highlight the numerous factors that have contributed to its success.</p>\n<p>Last month, I was invited to an English camp in Saima, Nonthaburi. It had an ASEAN theme. Fourteen Filipinos and a Nigerian were invited to teach 180 students. During the&nbsp;break, a bespectacled 11-year old boy asked me some&nbsp;questions. Being there to help and develop students interest in English, I entertained him, asked some questions which I usually ask my students like name, age, grade, address, favorites, family members, etc.&nbsp;To my surprise he was able to answer me. He even asked questions too. The talk lasted for a few minutes but I was able to tell myself that the NETP is indeed a success.</p>\n<p>Four years ago, I met also a 17 year old student waiting for a ride&nbsp;at a bus stop at Tiwanon Road. Being curious whether the student could speak English, I talked to him. According to him, he was good at speaking because of his English foreign teachers in a Nonthaburi high school. Another astonishing success of the NETP was when one Thai teacher transferred to our school in Pak Kret and a number of students sent her off. While taking their snacks, I asked questions to test how good they were. My goodness, I was surprised that&nbsp;they could converse with me in English. They were so confident. Not only would they&nbsp;answer but would race&nbsp;to answer as if speaking English was real fun. I was a little bit taken aback because those students compared to my students that time&nbsp;at the same level, were better than mine. They said they were good because of their Filipino English teacher whom I did not know for I was only new&nbsp;to the project.</p>\n<p>My American friend who does volunteer work in one school in Pak Kret shared his recent experience with grade 6 students inside a classroom while waiting for English Club to begin. Teacher Pat, for the first time in 6 years was surprised when the girls asked a lot of questions about him. Normally in the past, they would remain silent and hesitate to answer when asked. So, what does this scenario tell us? More stories can be told about the significant contributions of the project to its recipients but all of them tell us one thing - the project is indeed sailing ahead.</p>\n<p>It has been achieving the purpose for which it was established. I am not a&nbsp;clairvoyant but I foresee Nonthaburi government school students surpassing the expected outcome of those who conceived it. They will excel or succeed even more after the project has ended. Undeniably, the NETP has tremendously transformed the once passive, shy, and uninterested students into more confident, more enthusiastic, and more motivated learners. That\'s why I firmly believe that the Nonthaburi government has not wasted its millions of Baht&nbsp;on such a&nbsp;project.</p>\n<p>But, you may ask, \"What factors have contributed to the success of this project?\" I have gathered some of them and I have the pleasure of sharing with you.</p>\n<p>1. Good funding - Every year, hundred millions of Baht is being spent by the Nonthaburi government&nbsp;on the project.<br />2. Laudable leadership of two agencies -&nbsp;Ramkamhaeng Institute of Languages (RIL ) and Unisearch of Chulalongkorn University<br />3. Well-selected, highly qualified, creative, remarkable and well-trained foreign teachers (Nearly 400 Americans, British, Nigerians, and Filipinos in the two agencies)<br />4. Very supportive directors and coordinators of schools<br />5. Concerned Parents who enroll their children in English language centers or in private lessons to enhance their children\'s English learning<br />6. Better motivated students and their growing interest in English</p>\n<p>Other factors that have also contributed to the success of the project are:</p>\n<p>1. Regular monitoring of students\' performance through pretests and posttests, pre-onet and O-net exams, midterm and final exams. <br />2. Monthly visits of inspectors that insure excellent performance&nbsp;from teachers<br />3. Regular in-service training of teachers given by the two agencies <br />4. Enriching and varied speaking opportunities like English Speaking Day, Word for the Day, English Day and English Camps<br />5. Prestigious scholarship grants for English coordinators and top students of Prathum and Mathayom to undergo training in England for 20 days all expenses paid by the Nonthaburi government <br />6. A shift from speaking and listening to the integration of four language skills<br />7. The teaching of Math and Science to all levels in English by foreign teachers<br />8. Holding of literary, writing, spelling, and speech competitions<br />9. Provision of ready-made lesson plans from Kindergarten to Mathayum 6 to ease the burden of teachers and enable them to spend more time on effective teaching</p>\n<p>As teachers of the project, we must sustain the best things we have done for our students. As one teacher said, \"Yes, let\'s go an extra mile, be more innovative and reflective in our teaching or continue what the pioneer teachers started. They have nourished the seeds that have now&nbsp;grown to be big trees and are&nbsp;at the stage of bearing fruit.</p>\n<p>Afterall, Nonthaburi visionaries, were never wrong in investing&nbsp;in the project. No other province has ever prepared&nbsp;more for the coming ASEAN Community in 2015 but Nonthaburi. Hats off then to the Nonthaburi government for having&nbsp;implemented&nbsp;a most enviable project.

Those without degrees generally argue a degree is not necessary, while those with degrees will normally make the case a degree should be required. And of course those with a degree and a TEFL certificate will advocate the idea both credentials should be the minimum education required of a teacher, while those with degrees in education and graduate degrees will claim the qualifications they hold should be the minimum requirements. Reading these debates gives us a good idea of the educational qualifications of those involved in the debate, but usually little more.\n<p>One of the underlying assumptions of the debate is usually by \"teacher\" the individual is referring to the job he or she is holding or seeking, when in fact the word \"teacher\" applies to a wide range of positions. While it would be difficult to argue an advanced degree is not needed for a teacher advising doctoral students in nuclear physics, a pretty good case could be made any type of degree is not automatically required for a pre-school teacher who spends most of his or her time playing educational games with children. A university education would in nearly every case better prepare a teacher to teach academic writing, but may have less application as a requirement for a teacher teaching conversational or business English.</p>\n<p>Another assumption would seem to be that one type of teaching or specific types of teacher are better than other types. But can there be multiple approaches to teaching a subject and multiple effective types of teacher?</p>\n<p>Which would make a better English teacher, a professor of linguistics who could explain the roots of the language and purpose behind traditional language usage, or a young sharp street-smart traveler who is fluent in the language as well as being conversant in modern slang and conversation styles? Why would one automatically be better than the other? Wouldn\'t it be ideal to have classes with both teachers? While it is always best to learn the proper way to speak correctly, as a language learner I always find it extremely frustrating when after learning a phrase or word from a textbook to find out no one actually speaks the way taught in the textbook</p>\n<p>The intensive language program I am currently studying in rotates teachers frequently so students experience different accents, speeds of speech, teaching approaches and ideas about the language. This approach appears to have merit. Should we assume there is only one way to teach or can language learning be obtained by using different approaches?</p>\n<p>There is a definite financial advantage to higher education as the average income of those with university degrees is significantly higher than those without, and the gap grows. And as a professional educator with three degrees of my own, I place a lot of value on education and have found higher education has transformed my life for the better and it rarely makes a person a worse individual or worse teacher than he or she would have been without an education. However, having an education and a degree are not exactly the same thing and an education is only part of the total package a teacher brings into the classroom.</p>\n<p>There are many teaching jobs which a degree, and often a specific degree, will almost always be a requirement. I cannot imagine there are many qualified teachers capable of teaching in medical school who do not have medical degrees, but there are many jobs, and conversational English teacher -&nbsp;if one is a native English speaker -&nbsp;is one of them, which motivated and talented individuals should be able to perform even without a four year degree or specific training.</p>\n<p>My definition of a real teacher is someone who is accepted by the students and school administrators as a teacher, and gets paid to teach. Although I have quite a few years experience in the classroom and carry an academic title with the word professor in it, I would probably be a total disaster in a classroom of pre-school students. I suspect I would be fired within minutes and neither the students nor school officials would think I am a \"real teacher\" in that situation. I have a lot of respect for those who can manage and hold the attention of young learners, but this requires skills I never obtained. There are so many different types of teaching jobs it would seem impractical to assume each teacher should be required to hold the exact same types of qualifications.</p>\n<p>In an ideal situation, every ESL teacher would be an expert in foreign language learning, be highly proficient in the use of the English language, speak multiple languages, have experience teaching, have both an undergraduate and graduate degrees in education, have enthusiasm and be totally committed to the teaching profession. But I can\'t see Thai schools finding enough teachers with these characteristics at prices which the schools can afford anytime soon. But that does not imply those with less than perfect qualifications cannot contribute to the education of others.</p>\n<p>So relax, there are different types of teaching jobs for individuals with different backgrounds and levels of education. If the school administrators and students are satisfied with the work of a teacher, what gives any of us other teachers the right to pass judgment?</p>\n</p>\n<p>Whether teacher, manager, employee or business owner, in the end, we will get paid, hired and promoted by what we can, will, and do accomplish and not because of a paper attached to our wall or title we carry. While education has an impact on what we can, will and do accomplish, it is not the only factor influencing our skills and work performance.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Scott Hipsher is the author of a number of books, book chapters, academic journal articles, conference papers, magazine articles and newspaper pieces.</p>\n<p>His books include</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1759&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Nature of Asian Firms: An evolutionary perspective<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1824&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">Expatriates in Asia: Breaking free from the colonial paradigm<br /></a><a href=\"http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415533553/\">Business Practices in Southeast Asia: An interdisciplinary analysis of Theravada Buddhist countries</a></p>\n<p>And Scott\'s latest book <a href=\"http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=2765&amp;ChandosTitle=1\">The Private Sector\'s Role in Poverty Reduction in Asia</a></p>\n<p><img height=\"382\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Ssott_book.gif\" width=\"260\" /></p>','','2013-03-06 01:46:52',1,'2013-03-06 01:46:52','2013-03-06 16:04:54'),(13631,57,'Movie madness','movie-madness','Property choices for movie buffs','If you are interested in living on Sukhumvit like many expats, then there are three main cinema complexes, all with multi-screens and English language films showing every day. ','<p>I\'m sure it can\'t have escaped your notice that only&nbsp;two weeks ago the world of cinema and Hollywood celebrated itself in the usual glitz and glamour of the oscars. Many of the movies that won awards are currently showing in the cinemas around Bangkok, and over the course of the next few months others will be released.</p>\n<p>Unlike other parts of Thailand which mainly have cinemas showing either Thai movies or Hollywood movies with a \'Thai soundtrack\' i.e. a Hollywood movie which has been dubbed over, so that a very limited number of Thai actors do the voices for a wide range of Hollywood actors, Bangkok often shows movies with the original soundtrack. The audience therefore doesn\'t have to put up with the same Thai actor doing the voice for Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe &amp; Anne Hathaway in the same scene, which seemed to be the case in Les Miserables. This therefore allows foreigners and Thais who can read subtitles, to enjoy fully the performances of the actors earning multi-millions of dollars for their work.</p>\n<p>If you are new to Bangkok, you\'ll be pleased to hear that there are dozens of well-run and well-maintained cinemas in Bangkok located often close to or linked to a BTS or MRT station, but in this article we\'ll just cover a few of the main ones and some suitable properties that are found within walking distance of the cinemas.</p>\n<p>If you are interested&nbsp;in living on Sukhumvit like&nbsp;many expats, then there are&nbsp;three main cinema complexes, all with multi-screens and English language films showing every day. They are in Ekamai, Phrom Phong and the newest located in Asoke. The cinema in Ekamai is surrounded by the best value property of the&nbsp;three cinema destinations on Sukhumvit road. One great example of this is the <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/tree-condo-42-ekamai-1786\">Tree 42 condominium</a> located less than 10mins walk from the cinema complex in Ekamai, which has 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom units in a very stylish modern condominium. And on the way from the Tree 42 condo to the cinema, residents will also pass the brand-new Gateway mall with shops, restaurants and a supermarket.</p>\n<p>Further down the track at Asoke where the BTS and MRT lines meet there is another large cinema complex attached to the BTS station. The building, Terminal 21 also houses shops, a supermarket and restaurants. There are many good quality condos, apartments and service apartments within walking distance of the cinema complex, but perhaps the best value for money is the <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/citismart-asoke-2626\">Bkk Citismart condo</a> located only 5mins walk from both the BTS/MRT station. With excellent facilities including&nbsp;two jacuzzis and a squash court this is a great value property given the location.</p>\n<p>Moving further down the MRT track towards Ratchada, there is a cinema located at the Esplanade shopping mall. There are several brand new apartments and condos within 1-2 stations of this mall, but it is also possible to walk to the cinema from the <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/amanta-ratchada-1520\">Amanta residence</a>. A very well constructed condominium, built around a beautiful landscaped garden and pool area. The Amanta Ratchada is only within a 5-minute walk of the popcorn and big screens located at the cinema in the Esplanade. This condo is an excellent choice for families and couples a like and has a feel of a quality resort, in the heart of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>However English language cinemas are not only found on the BTS and MRT lines and neither are good quality condos. Pinklao, although not connected to the BTS or MRT has good quality condos and 2 English language cinemas. Located close to those cinemas are condos such as <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/lpn-park-pinklao-bang-plat-2830\">LPN Park Pinklao</a> which houses studio, one bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom condos. At a very reasonable cost these condos allow for quality living in Bangkok at a low costs. Plus any movie fans can get to see their latest films easily and regularly.</p>\n<p>So if you\'re looking for a fix of western entertainment, or just have to see your favorite movie star, or director\'s latest creation, you can get your&nbsp;tickets at one of the above venues or one of the many other cinemas not covered in this blog. The further convenience of living within walking distance of the cinema (which often houses eateries and other retail outlets) may enhance your lifestyle perfectly.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

This was just the beginning.','<p><strong>Scroll down the page for the latest update to this story</strong></p>\n<p>I had been working as a Maths teacher for just under four months at a Catholic school in Bangkok when the head teacher, who is always happy to deliver bad news in a very dramatic way, informed me that parents had&nbsp;complained about the homework books not being marked. He also said that&nbsp;my boss (I\'m working for an agency) would come to see me the following day and that I would probably get a written warning. I found it quite odd as I thought the school was very happy with me and I was, for the first time actually enjoying what I was doing - teaching maths to primary school kids. I did not think too much of it as I had just returned from a visa run and I put it down to a misunderstanding.</p>\n<p>The agent did turn up the next day and gave me a verbal warning. She also mentioned that there were complaints that the students did not understand the maths. Pretty normal, I thought. A lot of students hate maths and most of them don\'t understand it. She wouldn\'t tell me though which students or teachers were complaining. Also normal.</p>\n<p>I had an uneasy feeling, but I put it in the back of my mind and concentrated on my work. After that, everything went back to normal, until the teacher that I replaced (he\'d gone back to his home country) turned up at school as a fill-in teacher.</p>\n<p>And then, on 23 January it happened. The head teacher, again in his proud manner, informed me that there were numerous complaints from teachers, parents and students. Apparently they complained about both&nbsp;the maths and my accent. He said the agent was going to come and see me the following day, I was going to get a final written warning and that I would be fired in two weeks\' time (7 February). It hit me like a ton of bricks! It was just before the final exams and I knew it would be virtually impossible to find a job before the start of May.</p>\n<p>My first reaction was to threaten the agency&nbsp;with the labour court. What else could I do? I was standing with my back against the wall. I\'ve seen it first hand and experienced it first hand: If the school wants to fire a teacher, for whatever reason, then it IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I knew I was a dead man walking.</p>\n<p>The next day I had my disciplinary hearing. I was handed a letter with the complaints (the aforementioned complaints) and it stated that should I not drastically improve, I would be dismissed in two weeks\' time. I was already guilty even before I had time to defend myself. And besides, how do you drastically improve your accent in two weeks, especially if you had been hired and done probation with exactly that same accent? And how do you get the students to understand maths in two weeks, if you and the teachers before you couldn\'t achieve it in six years?</p>\n<p>I was between a rock and a hard place. It was clear to me that someone wanted to get rid of me and they were just going through the formalities. But the hearing went extremely well. I stayed calm and spent almost an hour explaining to my agent exactly what I did in my Math classes and the results that I was seeing. At this point I was still highly motivated and had some good results with certain classes. I offered to tutor the weaker students after school and/or during my lunch break. I asked them who complained and the answer was again that they couldn\'t tell me. I got the same answer&nbsp;to my question, \"Exactly what is it that they don\'t understand?\"</p>\n<p>At the end of the meeting I felt confident that I had cleared yet another misunderstanding. I pointed out to the agent that I was found guilty even before my side was heard. She offered to go back to the school and talk to the teachers. We rescheduled another meeting for two days later. I was happy, but deep down I had this nagging feeling.</p>\n<p>Two days later and instead of me getting students with math problems to tutor, five more complaints were added to the list. These allegations ranged from ridiculous things like not enthusiastic enough, not explaining homework to leaving class early. When I saw the list I exploded. I asked the agent if she wanted to go ahead with &lsquo;this\' (the hearing/firing me) and she reluctantly said yes. Then I repeated my question and she, more hesitantly answered yes. I pointed to the bottom five allegations and said \"Bullshit\" to all of them. That was the end of the meeting. I knew that I would be fired in less than two weeks\' time.</p>\n<p>It was time to take action. I made a list of what I could do to save my sorry ass. When I was finished, I had sixteen possible points of action, and none of them included physically harming anybody, or their property. They were all legitimate. First on my list was to see the Father/Priest (I have mentioned I\'m at a catholic school) and also the school principal. I was hoping for a divine intervention to happen.</p>\n<p>At the top of my list were Krusapa, the Ministry of Education and the Department of Labour. If I had to go down, I was going to take those responsible for my demise down with me. I had the name and email of someone at the Ministry of Education. Of course I listed the labour court, but it was not going to be useful until I got sacked.</p>\n<p>At that time they were arresting foreigners in Phuket who were working illegally. I forwarded these articles from ThaiVisa to the Thai coordinator, who was also in the process of getting sacked. I mentioned to her that as a Thai she had more power than she thought. I\'m sure my emails made their way to the boss.</p>\n<p>I sent emails to my agent explaining to her that she was not giving me a fair hearing and therefore could not give me a fair dismissal. I researched unfair dismissal in Thailand and learned more about the Thai labour law and its processes. I made it clear to everybody that I had been to the labour court in Thailand before, and that I got a&nbsp;satisfactory settlement. As an employer in South Africa who\'d been dragged before the labour court several times, I know the labour law quite well and I knew what my rights were. There is little difference between South African and Thai labour law.</p>\n<p>I also listed my previous agency and the tax man. I googled the teacher whom I thought was behind it all to see if I could get some stuff on him. Nothing, but with a stroke of luck a disgruntled ex-employee told me that the teacher replacing me was not allowed to teach in his home country.</p>\n<p>As a last resort, or insurance as I called it, I took my camera to work - a Nikon with a powerful zoom lens - and took photos of the Thai teachers and my colleagues that were working illegally.</p>\n<p>I had a lot of ammunition to get revenge, but nothing guaranteed my stay at the&nbsp;school. With a family to support, I was facing two and a half months of unemployment in Thailand. Not a pleasant prospect.</p>\n<p>The next couple of days were&nbsp;incredibly stressful. The Thai teachers were relentless, complaining about everything and the students\' attitude towards me changed drastically. Teaching had become a nightmare. Clearly a divine intervention was not on the cards anymore.</p>\n<p>Three stressful days passed and the coordinator interrupted one of my classes to tell me I was&nbsp;to have&nbsp;a meeting with the agent during my break. \"The reason?\" I asked. \"More complaints,\" she said. I knew my time was up.&nbsp;But the agent couldn\'t make it and my meeting was scheduled for the next morning at eight. After a few beers that night, I decided I would be an idiot to go to school the next day to get fired. I called in sick at 8:30.</p>\n<p>When I arrived at school two days later, I had been replaced by the previous teacher. I was told to meet the agent at her office and not to come back to the school for the rest of the week. 10:30 was the meeting. I had two more hours of employment.</p>\n<p>The agent was nice. I was calm. She showed me my dismissal letter and the list of complaints. It had actually grown to ten! One (in red) was because I went to see the Father. She offered to pay my salary till the end of the month, and pay my bonus and leave as well. Then something strange happened: she asked me if I wanted to sign the letter. Of course. I wanted to get it over and done with and get on with my life. We spoke some more and she asked me again. My answer was yes again. We spoke more and the third time she actually told me that she didn\'t want to fire me. We agreed I would be at school the next morning!</p>\n<p>My colleagues were both surprised&nbsp;and shocked to see me. No one expected me back at school. I know that at least one teacher was either engineering my dismissal or if not, sanctioning it. I saw him going through the books and papers on my desk and I have a witness who saw him deflating my motorcycle tires.<br />The other teachers&nbsp;were friendly in a professional way, but some&nbsp;were quite distrustful of me. Especially after I had confided in one and told him that a rumour was going around that the teacher I thought responsible was going to have a twenty thousand baht drop in salary. I forgot to mention the rumour about the eight years\' overdue tax being paid up.</p>\n<p>So four weeks later I\'m still at the school. I know they are waiting for an opportunity to fire me. The Thais have lost face and the foreign teacher wants his mate in. It\'s stressful. When I put in for&nbsp;personal leave to go for an interview, money (2,000 baht per day) and my bonus (2,000 per month) is deducted from my salary. No attempt has been made to do work permit. My contract is up for renewal and my visa runs out in two weeks. I\'m putting away money and I\'m on the Ajarn job page every day. Just in case.</p>\n<p>Getting fired, whether you are guilty of misconduct or not, is very stressful. We have monthly commitments, rent to pay, families to support and we have to take care of our visas. Most of us don\'t have a strong family support system in Thailand, and with no unemployment benefits, losing your job can be devastating.</p>\n<p>When the school tried to fire me, I didn\'t take it lying down. No one could find anything wrong with my teaching or behavior and they couldn\'t prove any of the ten allegations brought against me. Three times I offered to tutor the weak students (for free). Up to now no one has taken me up on my offer, nor has anyone told me who the students were that did not understand the maths, or what they did not understand.</p>\n<p>I\'m still at the school, only because I decided to fight back. I stood my ground and fought for what I believed was right. I pulled out all the stops and used whatever I could: I sent emails; I went to see the head of the school; I threatened them&nbsp;with the courts and the various Thai Ministries; I intimidated and manipulated. But I think despite all this, the school was very lucky: I never had to use that piece of hair for&nbsp;some voodoo.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">Update 22nd May 2013</span></p>\n<p>End of March is the time most schools and agents &lsquo;let go\' of their unwanted staff. I was hanging on for dear life. When the school asked me to jump, I jumped higher. When they asked me to do fun activities in the Math class, I did fun activities. When they asked me to do kindergarten for summer school, and I did kindergarten. And I did a bloody good job of it. My agent did my work permit and extended my visa. Nirvana, I was going to stay. I bought curtains for my apartment and extended my lease.</p>\n<p>Then I got the email during my school break: \"We do appreciate your effort in the classroom, but ...\" Someone at my agency sent me an attachment to an email, with a signature that was copied and pasted, and said, &lsquo;...we will not be able to offer you a contract for the next school year. I had been fired!</p>\n<p>The school made me come back and work another two weeks before they sent me this email: \"...not to return to school for the remainder of the term.\" The reason \"It seems the Thai management at the school have been complaining about you being absent and (the agency) not replacing you.\" I missed one day and I got fired (again)!</p>\n<p>I emailed my agent who was on holiday and told her that I had been unfairly dismissed. This is what she had to say: \"WE HAVE NEVER FIRED YOU. And we still let the contract being ON UNTIL THE END. Again I don\'t fire you. The contract is end and we don\'t want to renew.\" I explained to her that I was not a fixed term worker, nor have I signed a contract for a specified term with the school or the agency. Logic has it that if I was not working at the school anymore, then I was fired.</p>\n<p>I then wrote my agent a factual email, detailing that I had been unfairly dismissed. I have records and proof for every allegation I made - taped conversations, letters, emails, photos, etc. etc. Here\'s the email:</p>\n<p>Dear XXXX I know why you have sent me this email: It\'s because you are scared that you will lose the agency at the school. And you have reason to be: You have dismissed me unfairly. Let\'s not forget how it started. Previous Maths Teacher returns and started working as a fill-in teacher. My motorcycle is sabotaged at the school and I saw him and the Head Teacher going through the contents of my desk and drawer.</p>\n<p>On Jan 23 I was informed that there were problems&nbsp;and I was getting a formal written warning and that in two weeks time I would be out of the school. During my hearing I explained what I had achieved the past five months. I offered to tutor maths during my free time. I followed up on my offer by email and during my next hearing. I even said I would tutor for free. I was never given any students to tutor, nor was I told who did not understand the maths. <br />Instead of supporting me, you fabricated the following untruths to expedite my dismissal; I quote from your letter:</p>\n<p>\"Over the last two months, despite numerous attempts to encourage better teaching, there has been little improvement.\" And, \"I must remind you that you have had previous verbal warnings as to these points. You have also received advice and guidance to help you.\"</p>\n<p>I will repeat what I have said earlier: Apart from the first verbal warning there were no attempts, advice, guidance or verbal warnings, (I stress the plural in warnings), from you, the head teacher or the Thai staff.</p>\n<p>Your agency sent me an anonymous email saying my contract won\'t be renewed. The signature on the letter seems to be fake as I can clearly see that it had been scanned and pasted into the letter. The letter also does not have any dates.</p>\n<p>When confronted (March 28) that you are replacing me with previous Math teacher you denied it and said you were still looking for a replacement. I am in possession of the schedule for the term starting May 2013 and Math Teacher\'s name is on the roaster replacing mine for teaching Maths P3 - P6. In fact, when I left on April 16, he walked straight into my Math P6 class.</p>\n<p>I was summarily dismissed for being absent two days and then one day (total 3 days). I called in sick&nbsp;on all 3 days and informed you that I was not feeling well. I suffer from hypertension and have a heart condition which is a direct result of the stress I suffered at school. I have an ECG test and a cardiologist report.</p>\n<p>I also need to add that another teacher at the school took more than consecutive 30 days sick leave. He never got penalized.</p>\n<p>There exists no contract between me and the school, nor was I contracted to teach for a fixed time. Neither you nor the school could substantiate any of the ten allegations brought against me, and when they couldn\'t get a reason to fire me, they fired me because I was absent.</p>\n<p>I don\'t think you ever wanted to fire me. I am the only qualified teacher at&nbsp;the school&nbsp;and I am also the only teacher who was working there legally with a work permit. Furthermore, I am one of a handful teachers working there with a degree (the minimum legal requirement for teaching at a private school in Thailand). Shall I remind you that I have a taped conversation with your director of studies casually stating that &lsquo;someone\' will pay the police off should the school be reported for hiring illegal workers.</p>\n<p>I hope we can settle this matter in a mutually agreeable way.</p>\n<p>Regards</p>\n<p>Teacher Andre</p>\n<p>It\'s been over a month now since I\'ve been fired, and I haven\'t done anything. My question is: If you were in my shoes, would you let sleeping dogs lie, or will you ask for justice?

Life really couldn\'t be much better.\n\n','<p>I\'ve been in Thailand for about 6 months now, so I felt it was time to give a little back to ajarn.com. The site was a very big part of my research process prior to my arrival, and has been very a huge help since. Here is my Thai success story.\n<p>Before Thailand I was teaching in Korea. Like many South Africans, I wanted to do some traveling after finishing university. Before university, I spent a year in the UK. I then worked in South Africa for 2 years &amp; then spent a year in the USA. I was keen to see something of Asia &amp; so the government program to bring &lsquo;native speakers\' to South Korea seemed perfect. It was not. Don\'t get me wrong, I did not hate Korea and I made some awesome friends. I just hated my bipolar Korean boss, and she hated me...most of the time.</p>\n<p>My Dutch girlfriend came over after about 2 months and started looking for work. Because she is not a &lsquo;native speaker\' she had a tough time finding work, even though her English is better than a lot of English teachers I know. We had a really good network of friends in Korea but my boss was ruining my job and was really beginning to make me hate life. The gf was also feeling unhappy about not being able to land decent work, and so we decided that we wanted to see South East Asia.</p>\n<p>After relatively little debate we picked Thailand as our next destination. We already had some friends there (here) who were loving life, so we figured &lsquo;why not\'? Everyone, and I mean everyone (except my Mom, so thanks Ma), told us we were crazy to leave the Korean money. Lucky for me, and mostly very annoyingly for my family, I usually do what I want anyway.</p>\n<p>All the advice we read on forums said you should just arrive &amp; look for work (although I still know SO many people who use agents and have a bad time), so we did! After grey Seoul we wanted sunshine and beaches 24/7, so after a week in Bangkok we headed down to Krabi. Man, did we fall in love with that place. It seemed perfect...except it was school holidays and no one was sure if they needed teachers yet. As it turns out, they didn\'t. We didn\'t stick around long before we headed to Phuket. I had read a lot of mixed reviews about the place, but having a friend of a friend there sealed the deal.</p>\n<p>We had saved up some cash in Korea so we could &lsquo;holiday\' a little and acclimatise ourselves with the island before hunting for work. Patong had some really cheap accommodation available that turned out to be great, although Patong itself was/is a bit much. And by a bit much I mean constantly pumping. We took a few beach days (away from Patong) before looking for schools, and when I say looking for schools I mean as many as we could physically find in a day. It was a lot of driving, a LOT of getting lost, a lot of smiling and a lot of being turned down. During our search I dropped off my CV at a local university &amp; had a nice long chat with the farang admin lady who handled my CV.</p>\n<p>The gf ended up getting a call back from one of the private schools, while I only had miserable offers from language centres. She accepted the 33,000 baht offer (55 000 baht after some extra classes) and I stuck it out, and out and out... She started work and I still had nothing. I was literally about to start selling time share on the beach when the university called me for a demo lesson. They had a sudden opening and so after nailing the demo lesson I accepted the 30,000 bht offer.</p>\n<p>Did I mention that in Korea I found out that I quite enjoyed teaching and that working at a university was pretty much a dream job? Sure, it doesn\'t pay a lot but the hours are great, there is lots of time for extra lessons, the farang staff are cool, it looks good on my CV and I really enjoy being an ajarn.</p>\n<p>Two more friends of mine have come here simply because we have been enjoying it so much. One is still looking for work &amp; the other has gotten a great gig as a sports teacher at the same private school as the gf. Who knew a sports teacher could make 46,000 baht AND get a free, amazing lunch every day?</p>\n<p>We\'ve both been here about 6 months, have only done 2 visa runs, had both our employers apply for our work permits for us, have started saving money as we&nbsp;actually make a little more collectively than we did in S.Korea, and are both loving life again. Life really couldn\'t be much better.</p>\n<p>I know I sound smug but I have a point (I hope). My point is that too many people arrive the wrong way (through an agent) or don\'t go about finding work the right way (they do not get out there enough), but that if you have a little brains (arrive with enough cash) and a little balls (no employment agent, just go) you can have an amazing time here. You also need to be able to distinguish between naysayers and those offering genuine advice.</p>\n<p>My other point is that bad luck can simply screw it all up (as I was unlucky with my Korean boss) and you can be left in a really bad situation (note: I\'ve still got many friends loving their time in Korea). If you are trying to get settled in Thailand, and are having a hard time, you need to decide if you are simply unlucky, or if you need to change tactics.</p>\n<p>I have a friend here who is now unemployed, has literally \"had to\" disappear from two previous jobs around Thailand, has not saved a thing, is broke, has a fake degree and no TEFL.

Bangkok is constantly attracting more and more international companies, and with English taking the role of the primary business communication language, it makes sense to me to try to edge my way in.</p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, an opportunity finally presented itself through my part-time language school to teach two evenings per week at an engineering firm in the Ekkamai area. I jumped on the chance, and I must say: I\'m so glad I did! My original thinking was that these classes would be more serious than the Mathayom-level science classes I currently teach; it is a business environment, after all, complete with suits and ties. I also expected, at least to some degree, to have students with at least basic English proficiency to work with. Both of these assumptions were wrong, and I\'m happy to say that I\'m glad!</p>\n<p>For starters, just like in most environments in Thailand, the corporate setting I\'m teaching in is far more relaxed than I\'m used to from the USA and even Germany. Sure, people may be dressed in business casual, but the prevailing relaxed attitude typical of Thais and Thailand shows even in dress shoes.</p>\n<p>Next, my students approach the class with a genuine interest to learn English. This may be due to the fact that they\'re \"on the clock\" during my 6:00-8:00 p.m. classes with them two days per week, but I\'m still happy to have intrigued students. Their knowledge of English varies greatly. I have a few students (generally out of 10-12 total) who have a very good grasp of English, and can carry on a basic conversation. I also have several students on the opposite end of the spectrum that cannot even read a basic sentence. Even so, the group I have seems to like helping one another along, and they all seem to have a blast giggling at their attempts to learn. That\'s always a good sign!</p>\n<p>I\'m lucky to be working for a great language school that provides the basic lessons and ideas for activities, but I generally use those as guidelines and let the class take our discussions wherever they like. The class is, after all, for them, so it only makes sense. Even though the class\'s age range is between probably 25-50, they all still love to play games just as much as my Mathayom students. In fact, I could argue that they like to do so more! One class, because I noticed they were having issues pronouncing basic numbers correctly, I taught them how to play \"Go Fish.\" You would have think they just learned rocket science; they love it!</p>\n<p>All in all, I\'d have to say that teaching corporate classes has become my favorite work activity. Sure, I love teaching in a high school, but there\'s only so much you can do within their set curriculum. The corporate classes give you a chance not only to interact on a somewhat higher level with students (due to their age primarily), but also something different. Government schools can get a bit monotonous, day after day, but corporate classes typically have a different feel to each one.</p>\n<p>You also can\'t beat the fact&nbsp;that the pay is far better, plus you may get lucky like me and get an environment on the 25th floor of a business building with great views of the city. Sure, it makes for two long days a week (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at a government school, then 6:00-8:00 p.m. straight after), but all in all, I\'d say the whole experience is extremely positive.</p>\n<p>While I like the stability of a paycheck that typically comes with a government school, it sure will be hard to resist moving entirely into the corporate teaching realm as my time teaching in Thailand carries on.</p>','','2013-03-12 19:34:12',1,'2013-03-12 19:34:12','2013-03-13 09:09:13');

Getting where I am now has taken a lot of hard work -&nbsp;but I now realize that there are many opportunities for teachers to supplement their income like I did.</p>\n<p>After reading my blogs, I hope you will become familiar with at least ten ways of increasing your income. I will also be providing you with plenty of links to get you started and moving in the right direction.</p>\n<p>If any of these ideas work for you, please let me know in the comments section below. I would love to hear from you.</p>\n<h3>How I started private teaching</h3>\n<p>When I first came to Thailand, taking a TEFL course seemed like a very good idea. I had no real experience as a teacher so it was important to at least have some idea of what goes on in a Thai classroom. When I finished my TEFL course, I was immediately asked to do private classes for friends and then &lsquo;friends of friends\'. I was eager to please and quick to say yes. Many of those private classes were great and often lots of fun to teach. And all you really needed was a brief lesson plan and a business card to get started.</p>\n<h3><strong>Business card at the ready</strong></h3>\n<p>If you are serious about taking on private students, I can\'t emphasize enough the importance of carrying business cards. Not only will potential students and customers take you more seriously, but a card has all your contact details on, depending on whether a student wants to contact you by phone or e-mail or some other way.</p>\n<p>There are lots of online places where you can create your own business card online and have it delivered. <a href=\"http://www.zazzle.com/businesscards\">Zazzle is one such example</a>. You can also walk into any major shopping mall such as Mahboonkrong, near Siam Square, and have business cards made while you wait.</p>\n<p>The important thing is to always keep your business cards handy in case you meet someone who might well become a student. Be confident and straightforward with people. Tell them what you do for a living and tell them what aspects of English teaching you specialize in. It\'s no good telling potential customers that you can teach kids if teaching kids is not really your bag. There are so many private students out there that you should easily be in a position to pick and choose your customers.</p>\n<h3>The best locations</h3>\n<p>Opinions will differ on where is the best place to conduct a private, one-to-one lesson but my advice on this is always to choose a public place. How about one of the many coffee shops that you see around Thailand in every town and city? Those places are ideal. With a nice cup of coffee in front of you both and a quiet table in the corner, you\'re all set to get down to some serious grammar action or casual conversation. I use to have two or three private students study one after the other on the same night! I used to use a coffee shop called The Bug and Bee right next to the BTS station in Silom. Not only was it a great little coffee shop, but because of its close proximity to the BTS, students could get there easily after work.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Carl1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p>Meeting in a public place makes the student feel at ease and in turn become more relaxed and more confident. As the teacher, you\'ll probably end up finding the lesson much easier if you can create a relaxed atmosphere conducive to learning.</p>\n<p>When doing private teaching like this, it\'s useful to take notes about what you discussed and went over with the student. That way, when your next lesson comes along you can pick up where you left off. It also makes the lesson run much smoother as you can start off by reviewing the last lesson and linking the new lesson to the previous one. For you as the teacher, with potentially many other students, you can remember what was covered and show that you have a plan and show that you have everything under control.</p>\n<h3>Teaching online</h3>\n<p>We live in an age of fast-developing technology so don\'t forget that you can also teach on-line these days! There are many websites where you can register as a teacher and the on-line companies will call you as and when clients become available. You just tell the company your specialty, location and availability and wait for the fishes to bite.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl2.gif\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p>I recommend you take your time by compiling a good on-line profile because this is how potential students will choose you. To get you started, <a href=\"http://elearnmag.acm.org/featured.cfm?aid=1609990\">read this excellent article on teaching online</a> and then head over to one of the ten on-line tutoring websites listed below:</p>\n<p>&bull; <a href=\"http://www.buddyschool.com\">http://www.buddyschool.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.kubbu.com\">http://www.kubbu.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.myprivatetutor-thailand.com\">http://www.myprivatetutor-thailand.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.wiziq.com\">http://www.wiziq.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.tutors-live.com\">http://www.tutors-live.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://smarthinking.com\">http://smarthinking.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://home.brainfuse.com\">http://home.brainfuse.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.wyzant.com/Home.aspx\">http://www.wyzant.com/Home.aspx</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.tutormatch.com\">http://www.tutormatch.com</a> &nbsp;<br />&bull; <a href=\"http://www.tutor.com/apply\">http://www.tutor.com/apply</a></p>\n<h3>Start your own website and profile</h3>\n<p>Having your own &lsquo;teacher website\' is like having a great big online business card where people can find out so much more about you. This is an area of private teaching that most teachers neglect but imagine how thrilled your private students would be to see your face on your very own website full of teaching photos, family photos, course outlines, English language games and quizzes, etc, etc. There is no end to the content you could fill a &lsquo;teacher website\' with.</p>\n<p>Starting an on-line blog is also super easy. Wordpress is my own personal recommendation if you are thinking about going down this route. www.wordpress.com. On your blog, you could include information about your educational background, experience, profile and then perhaps shoot some youTube videos of you explaining basic concepts clearly in say, under three minutes.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p>Once you have your on-line presence, other ideas to take things further might include creating a fan page and directing all your students there for regular English grammar and vocabulary tips.</p>\n<p>Always be encouraging students to ask their questions on the fan page or comment on your website to provide you with a social media &lsquo;buzz\'. This will help raise your ranking and you\'ll start finding that Google shows you some love and thus enabling you to pick up students via search engine results. Consider writing articles and tips with keywords like \"private English tutoring in Bangkok\" or \"Koh Samui private lessons\" for example.</p>\n<p>If all this sounds a bit daunting, don\'t forget that my company, <a href=\"http://www.webcoursesbangkok.com/\">Web Services Bangkok</a>, has cost effective solutions to help you establish an on-line presence with your own professional website etc, etc.</p>\n<h3>Final words</h3>\n<p>Private tuition is always a great &lsquo;sideline\' because you can schedule classes around your main teaching gig. Use things like Google Calendar to manage your time or&nbsp;even services like <a href=\"http://www.bookfresh.com\">Bookfresh</a>&nbsp;There are plenty of places on the web where you can find&nbsp;<a href=\"http://checkappointments.com/\">a free system for people to make appointments online</a>.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl3.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Online booking apps like these are great because they drastically reduce your administration time and save on countless emails spent organizing times that suit you and your student.</p>\n<p>\n<p>I wish you all the best and if you have any questions <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/WebCoursesBKK.\">you can find me on Facebook</a>.</p>\n<p>See you soon for part 2 of 10 on how to make more money as a teacher in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Further reading:</h3>\n<p>&bull; Here you can see how people <a href=\"http://learnoutlive.com/private-language-teachers\">first create blogs and then register themselves</a></p>\n<p>&bull; <a href=\"http://www.facultyfocus.com/free-reports/principles-of-effective-online-teaching-best-practices-in-distance-education/\">10 tips on teaching online</a></p>\n</p>','','2013-03-13 00:25:26',1,'2013-03-13 00:25:26','2018-04-15 03:03:21'),(13681,20,'Interview oddballs','interview-oddballs','Some of the stranger folks I\'ve come across during interview procedures','One applicant that I won\'t forget was a certain Mr G.

I only ever use Ajarn.com and to be honest, I really don\'t know what I would do without this superb website. But for all the great teachers I\'ve met and interviewed, I\'ve also met my fair share of peculiar applicants who have made the process of recruitment that little bit more entertaining.</p>\n<p>One applicant that I won\'t forget was a certain Mr&nbsp;G. Glitter who applied for a primary school homeroom teacher position in 2006 and claimed to \'love working with kids\'. The application came complete with a picture of the glam rocker in full 1970s rock regalia. At the time the real Mr. Glitter was enjoying the hospitality of the Vietnamese authorities but what did alarm me was news that this hoax applicant had actually been offered an interview at one of Bangkok\'s well established Christian schools.</p>\n<p>Hoax emails aside, some of the applicants I\'ve encountered have been just as colourful as ageing rock stars. Here are a few that have made me smile:</p>\n<h3>The Exaggerators</h3>\n<p>Everyone exaggerates or bends the truth a little on their CVs. That\'s just the way of the world but some applicants take it a little too far. Three of my favorite exaggerators were the Zoologist, the Builder and the Maths Teacher.</p>\n<p>The Zoologist had a degree in Zoology and looked great on paper. He applied to be a primary school science teacher but during his demo lesson his lack of scientific knowledge quickly became clear. He was unable to correctly identify plant cells or animal cells (fortunately the grade 5 students were able to assist). Then at the end of the lesson one of the students asked the teacher why plant cells look green, The Zoologist looked lost and fell silent but once again one of the students came to the teacher\'s rescue and answered the question on his behalf.</p>\n<p>The Builder was another applicant with suspect qualifications. He gained an NVQ in Construction in 1990 and then in 1992 he graduated with a Master\'s in English Literature from Oxford University (possibly via distance learning - Kao San Road)</p>\n<p>The Maths Teacher went one better by gaining a qualification before it had come into existence. He had managed to get 10 GCSEs at grade C and above in 1982... impressive stuff considering the first GCSEs were set in 1989!</p>\n<h3>The Complainers</h3>\n<p>Applicants that fill their covering letter with complaints about their current school make an interesting read but act as a warning sign to future employers. Some of my favorite quotes from complainers include;</p>\n<p>\'After spending 3 hours at the visa office I was eventually told that the stupid b---- from the school office hadn\'t provided all the correct documentation\'<br />\'Being asked to stand at the front gate for 30 minutes in the morning is degrading and completely lagging professionalism\' (lagging???)<br />The longest covering letter I\'ve read was a 1000+ word essay/rant detailing the difficulties of life in Rangoon, again an interesting read but an unusual way to introduce yourself to future employers.</p>\n<h3>The Demanders</h3>\n<p>I presume that The Demanders were Premiership Footballers in their previous existence, judging by the way they introduce themselves to prospective employers.</p>\n<p>\'I will not teach more than 4 periods on any given day\'<br />\'I do not teach teenagers or children below the age of 7\'<br />\'The weekends are my personal time and I do not expect to be required to work or teach on these days\'<br />\'I am an atheist. Do not ask me to take part in any ceremony or activity with religious overtones\'</p>\n<h3>The Latecomers</h3>\n<p>Arriving a minute or two late for an interview isn\'t the end of the world, especially if you\'ve been travelling across Bangkok. But when is too late? 1 hour? 1 day? a week? One latecomer arrived an entire week late for an interview. He knew he was going to be late, he had been held up &lsquo;taking care of business\' on Kao San Road. After missing the interview, he had decided that the best thing to do was just turn up at the arranged time on the same day one week later....</p>\n<h3>The Inappropriate Photos</h3>\n<p>Every term a few applicants email inappropriate photos with their application. These pictures are usually just amusing and include;</p>\n<p>- half dressed men and women on beaches or in waterfalls<br />- people on a night out, beer bottle in hand or propped up against the counter in one of Thailand\'s many infamous bars<br />- large groups of people with no indication who the applicant is<br />- people wearing helmets or masks<br />- once I was sent a picture of a guy holding an assault rifle with what looked like a dead buffalo in the background<br />- but my all time favorite is a picture of four guys in a smoke filled living-room with seriously blood shoot eyes, sitting wasted on a sofa, looking more like extras from The Hangover than The Educators!</p>\n<p>Without emails from these colourful applicants, recruiting teachers in Thailand would be considerably more mundane. These applicants make searching for the right teachers more interesting and entertaining and so I\'d like to thank all of those who have been in contact over the years.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Teacher Daniel<br />Varee Chiangmai School<br /><a href=\"http://www.varee.ac.th\">www.varee.ac.th</a> <br /><a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax\">www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax\"></a>Anyone is welcome to write a one-off article for the <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/\">ajarn guests section</a> as long as it\'s something related to either Thailand or teaching in Thailand or teaching in Asia.

There are so many of them tucked away down hidden paths or behind crumbling brick walls that a few years ago UNESCO even considered making this area a world heritage site.  Nowadays, the area\'s history is complemented by an eclectic mix of restaurants, schools, designer shops and charitable organizations making it an exceedingly interesting area to work.</p>\n<p>The Wat Ket area I am familiar with stretches from the east side of the Ping River between the Nakorn Ping and Nawarat Bridges east to Bumrungrad Road and is bordered to the north by Kaewnawarat Road and to the south by Charoenmuang Road. It\'s a fair-sized chunk of real estate that in the not too distant past was mostly owned by a member of the Scottish aristocracy; but more of that later. <a href=\"http://maps.google.com/maps? q=Wat+Ket+Mueang+Chiang+Mai+Chiang+Mai+Thailand&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=18.777129,99.011364&amp;spn=0.087113,0.169086&amp;sll=18.781619,99.006496&amp;sspn=0.087111,0.169086&amp;oq=wat+ket&amp;hnear=Wat+Ket,+Mueang+Chiang+Mai,+Chiang+Mai,+Thailand&amp;t=m&amp;z=13\">Its post code, 50000</a> , actually encompasses a slightly larger area.</p>\n<p>I think to really get a feel for this area I should take you on a walking tour of the area. After exiting my school and turning right, we turn right again into soi 3 Kaewnawarat Road.  This is a quiet little road containing some mighty fine eating. There\'s the superb home-cooked style American menu of Bake &amp; Bite. Close by is Ton Wah (jambolan tree in Thai), or the 3 sisters as it\'s known to many regular diners. This place serves delicious cheap Thai dishes to order in the garden of the 3 sisters\' home.</p>\n<p>Baan Thai Rom Yen (cool shade Thai house in Thai) opposite offers a kanom jin (rice noodles with soup) buffet experience; and a little further along this soi is the atmospheric Huen Khachao (my house in Northern Thai). This restaurant is only a few years old but wonderfully recreates a typical wooden mom &amp; pop village store/restaurant/pub/cinema from the time before the opening of TESCO and Big C forced many of these types of places to close. The food is northern and delicious. It\'s also very affordable.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/JQ101.jpg\" width=\"168\" /></p>\n<p>Turning left out of Huen Khachao and then turning left again at the end of this soi, we come across the Chinese Attaqwa Mosque. Built in the late 1960s by descendents of Muslim Jin Haw (galloping Chinese) traders from Yunnan in China who used mule trains to haul and trade goods such as tobacco and opium from market to market across the mountains of Burma, Laos and Northern Thailand. They were the transport company that drug warlords such as <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khun_Sa\">Burmese Khun Sa</a> contracted to bring black gold out of the Shan mountains.</p>\n<p>During the 1960s, 70s and 80s much of the opium grown in Burma came through Chiang Mai on its way to the heroin addicts of Europe and North America. I\'m sure therefore, it\'s just a coincidence that along this same quiet road is an especially large house occupied by the very old Chinese widow of one Khun Sa\'s senior lieutenants. .. allegedly.</p>\n<p><img height=\"168\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/JQ104.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Taking the first right turn past the mosque is a row of shops. One of them is occupied by my regular barber. If he\'s not in his shop, I need to pop my head into one of the other shops or the mosque to find him. He calls me ajarn and is always apologetic that he wasn\'t in his shop waiting for me. To trim the fluff from my neck he uses a cut-throat razor. I make a point of never visiting on days when Britain and the USA invade another oil-rich Muslim country in their jihad to fight international terrorism, just in case he coughs or slips and the cut throat razor lives up to its name.</p>\n<p>Heading on past the shops for a further 50m we turn left at the t-junction.  There\'s an interesting little building named the Saiyuri Complex just on the right hand side of this short road. In English the sign reads coffee shop and snooker but in Thai it reads ap op nuat (wash, dry and then massage). It\'s quite a busy little place. I\'ve never visited as I\'ve heard the coffee is terrible and I don\'t like snooker.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/JQ102.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Walking briskly forward with eyes straight ahead we promptly hit Bumrungrad Road. The British Council is located along this road. The British Council was my employer from 2000 to 2002, and I\'ve also been an IELTS examiner for them since 2004. The British Council compound is comprised of the teaching centre and the consulate and was moved to this location from where the Chedi Hotel is now located on the river Ping during Margaret Thatcher\'s maniacal cost cutting of all government budgets during the 1980s.</p>\n<p>The teaching centre is built in and around an old wooden bank building which is said to be haunted by a former Thai member of staff who was killed in an accident riding his motorbike to work one morning. It\'s said - by Thais - that his spirit doesn\'t realize it is dead so continues to clock-in and walk around the building occasionally. Of course, stamping feet while climbing the wooden stairs to the Thai staff\'s office in the morning was a regular pastime of a few of the more mischievous and immature foreign teachers working there.</p>\n<p>I remember one day during my teaching days at the Council that the centre director and honorary British Consul, David, made the decision to cut down one of the two tall and leaning coconut trees growing in the front garden. As many receptions were held in the garden rather than hotels to save money, the threat of falling coconuts was deemed serious enough to warrant capital punishment. \"Coconut skulls Chiang Mai Governor\" would have been a Sun newspaper headline too humiliating for the British nation to bear, so it was decided that the left leaning one had to go. David spoke to the centre\'s elderly Thai accountant and asked whether she knew of a cheap tree surgeon. She did. He would not only cut down the tree, he would also remove the wood from the compound; and he wouldn\'t charge a single baht. This made David very happy.</p>\n<p>So, a few days later we were all watching from the safety of the first floor air-conditioned teachers\' staff room when a tiny little Thai man who looked at least 100 years old rode into the compound on his battered old Honda Dream with side car. Due to his frailty he took ages to remove his tools and place them on the lawn between the two trees. He then did something quite extraordinary: he picked up his axe and flew at the right leaning tree with the force and accuracy of Conan the Barbarian.</p>\n<p>David reacted swiftly and ran out of the building, but he wasn\'t quick enough to stop Conan cutting down the wrong tree. The tree was lying dead on the lawn as David reached Conan. Conan had by now morphed back into a frail old man and started to wai and apologize profusely. The old man was now struggling to lift his axe but valiantly persevered anyway and eventually cut down the correct tree. After he had removed the last of the timber and rode off into the sunset, I heard David tell our elderly accountant that at least the British taxpayer wouldn\'t have to pay that bloody fool anything. Our elderly accountant started to giggle after David had left the office. I asked what was so funny. She said with a glint in her eye and a smile on her face that coconut wood is very expensive.</p>\n<p>Security at the British Council compound was a little relaxed to say the least. There was Somchai, the Thai security guard, and his ever faithful fighting cock who accompanied him everywhere; and that was about it. As soon as Somchai arrived for work around mid-morning, he would head straight to the caretaker\'s antique wooden house in the far corner of the compound. The old lady who lived there was also the school\'s cleaner.</p>\n<p>As Somchai slowly rocked in the hammock hanging in front of her house, the old lady would serve him breakfast and fuss over his cock while he relaxed. For most of the day Somchai kept a low-key security presence which coincidentally was in tune with the UK\'s world-wide influence at that time. However, his days of leisure were numbered once Tony Blair made his unilateral decision to fight global terrorism by invading countries that had nothing to do with it.</p>\n<p><img height=\"168\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/JQ105.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>The Chiang Mai Muslim community were outraged when the UK and the USA invaded Afghanistan in October 2001, and protests were quickly planned for the front of the US and UK consulates. The protest was completely ignored when a large group of agitated Muslims and their placards arrived at the 3 meter security walls that completely surround the US compound. Their request to deliver a letter to the US consul also failed as armed security guards pointed out that they hadn\'t booked an appointment through the consulate\'s website at least 3 months in advance.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/JQ106.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>As the armed guards encouraged them to move on, the hoard turned and headed for the British Council. We were expecting them, and so were most of the Thai press. Anticipating blood and gore there were TV news cameras and photographers crowding around outside the fragile 1.5 meter railings built more for decoration than defence at the front of our compound. Again, we watched from the safety of the first floor teachers\' room as David valiantly strode forward to receive the protest letter; and in true British stiff upper lip fashion, he carried with him an umbrella for protection.</p>\n<p>Jocularity aside, it must have been an extremely intimidating situation that met him at the gate. However, he politely received the letter, shook some hands, posed for the press and returned to the safety of the staff room. At this point it seemed that the hoard was about to riot as arms started flailing and a number of bullhorns relayed angry messages to the protestors.  As I was looking for someone to pull in front of me in anticipation of the sacking of the Council, the tension was defused by our Thai examinations officer, Khun Rawi. He had been translating into English the messages from the hoard and was now telling us that they were only arguing over where to eat lunch.</p>\n<p>A close reader of the description of the previous serious security breach at the British Council has probably noticed that there is no mention of Somchai. Unfortunately there can be no mention, as he slept through the whole incident in his hammock in front of the cleaner\'s house. I guess as a direct result of this serious and potentially dangerous failure, security was consequently and significantly upgraded. There is now an extra security guard at the gate whose job is to lever up and down the metal bar that was installed in order to stop bicycles; because it certainly isn\'t capable of stopping cars.</p>\n<p>To be continued next month.\n<hr />\nJohn Quinn&nbsp;is the course trainer at <a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a> in Chiang Mai</p>','','2013-03-21 23:27:33',1,'2013-03-21 23:27:33','2013-03-22 13:01:34'),(13699,59,'A river island','a-river-island','The fascinating island of Koh Kred in Bangkok','Have you ever heard of an island in the middle of a river?

It sounds absurd, right? But there is an island 20 kilometers away from Bangkok where a lot of locals and foreign travelers/tourists frequently go to escape from the&nbsp;noise in the city. In fact, according to \"Lonely Planet,\" Thailand\'s travel information and guide, this place ranks #7 out of 792 things to do in Bangkok.\n<p>So, guys, if you have never been yet to this tourist attraction, one of these days, drop by with your friends or loved ones. I knew of one little Thai boy who always asks his father to go to Ko Ket or Koh Kred. Instead of going to Central in Chaengwattana, Big C or Tesco he prefers to go to the island. I have been there myself several times. What\'s really on the island and what is it&nbsp;that keeps people from going?</p>\n<p>On one excursion to the island I met an old lady tending a vendor\'s stall. I asked her if she liked living on the island. She replied. \"I have lived here for 40 years, so I guess I like it here. What I do not like is that nowadays, the young people no longer speak our Mon language. They only speak Thai.\" Furthermore, I asked how the island came about. She told me the story which had been handed down&nbsp;from one generation to another.</p>\n<p>During the Ayuthaya era, 1722, when Thailand was invaded by Burma, Mon people, one of its ethnic groups, settled in various places near the Chao Phraya River and along major khlongs in several provinces south and west of Bangkok. Some of them stayed in Ko Kret, an island that merely originated from a canal. Now, how did the island exist? Due to the fast flow of Chao Phraya River in Pak Kret area where there was a bend, they built a canal to slow down its flow and to prevent Pak Kret river banks from eroding. Surprisingly, through several years of widening, the islet turned into 2 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide. From that time on, it was was isolated from Pak Kret mainland.</p>\n<p>The Mon people, who were craftsmen, took advantage of the abundance of red clay soil in the island and&nbsp;used it as raw material for its main industry-pottery. In fact, even today Ko Kret island is best-known for its unglazed pots and earthenware which are considered&nbsp;to be&nbsp;the best in the country.</p>\n<p>Progress and development in nearby districts of Nonthaburi changed the people\'s way of life here. After the island became a tourist attraction, inhabitants expanded their industry from pottery to selling kanom, clothes, unique arts and crafts, and commercial items for visitors of the island. A bike ride or plain walk will entice you to buy things of interest in stalls and houses on both sides of the cemented narrow alleys around the island.</p>\n<p>If you haven\'t made up your mind to go -&nbsp;do it now. \"I experienced a little Chatuchack in that island, \"a friend of mine once said. If you are coming from Bangkok, go to Victory Monument and take bus 166 going to PaK Kret. Via tang duan for only 19 baht, you will&nbsp;get there&nbsp;in 30-40 minutes. When you reach the last bus stop in Pak Kret (in front of Wat Boa School) you can ask anyone you meet and he/she will tell you where Koh Kret is.</p>\n<p>You can walk or take a motorcycle for just 10 baht and reach the vicinity of Wat Sanam Neua. At the port, a ferry boat will take you to the island in less than a minute. As one writer describes it - it\'s a \"blink of an eye \"ride. When you disembark, you will see the welcome sign to the island and pay only 2 baht for entrance.</p>\n<p>If you come from Bangsue, take bus 505 and you will&nbsp;get to&nbsp;Pak Kret. If you come from Bangyai, take bus 388. One can tell whether a Thai or foreigner&nbsp;has just come from Koh Kret if he/she is carrying an unglazed clay pot container with handle&nbsp;in which&nbsp;iced tea or soft drink is serves.</p>\n<p>Places worth seeing are Wat Sao Thiong and Wat Poramaiiyikawat, a museum housing ancient pottery of the Mon people, tiny dessert shops, stores, native restaurants, and pot-making demonstrations.</p>\n<p>If you want to further explore the island, a boat ride is available for only 60 baht. This will take you 20 kilometers around the island and you can&nbsp;admire the rural scenery. If you are a photography enthusiast or hobbyist bring your SLR, video, ipad or camera to capture the interesting temples, houses, shops and views.</p>\n<p>Be sure to&nbsp;go to the island&nbsp;on weekends because shops are closed&nbsp;on weekdays. Bring money too for there are so many kinds of souvenirs distinctively made on the island worth buying and keeping as souvenirs at reasonably low prices. As a reminder,&nbsp;don\'t expect a beach where you can sunbathe or dip for a swim. But there is an area where you can watch and feed huge numbers of fish in&nbsp;a sanctuary.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a gourmet, there are a lot of small restaurants overlooking The&nbsp;Chao Phraya River, where you can pick any Thai delicacy of your choice. Just a word of caution, \"Don\'t ever compare this island with other islands you have visited because Ko Kret is an island with a people all&nbsp;of its own - simple , rich customs, traditions, art, and culture all has its own&nbsp;unique beauty.\" Why wait to go there when summer is gone. Go now.

I\'m Karisa and I couldn\'t be more of a clich&eacute;: a blonde, American, recent college grad who decided to go teach in a foreign country! Don\'t be too impressed with me; I\'m hardly unique in this expedition to teach English abroad. Taking a year off after graduation is the new black.</p>\n<p>For many American college grads these days the choices are:</p>\n<p>A) Get a \"real job\" (If you can find one)<br />B) Work 3 shitty part time jobs (because you can\'t find a \"real job\")<br />C) Live in mom\'s basement while you \"job hunt\" (for that elusive \"real job\")<br />D) Go to grad school! (Didn\'t you just finish four years of school?)<br />E) Travel (Aka running away from choices A-D)</p>\n<p>For me, the choice was obvious. My B.A. in History was worthless without a master\'s degree and I was not ready to dive right into two more years of research, lectures and living in the library\'s basement archives. There was also no way that I was going to continue working three jobs that hardly paid for the apartment I shared with three other people. Moving home to Boringville was NOT an option. This left me with choice E, Travel. I hadn\'t saved enough money to do the extended backpacker thing so I decided that teaching English abroad was the choice for me!</p>\n<p>In May I graduated from college. In September I moved to Asia! After completing a one month TESOL course, I moved to Bangkok and got a job at a language school. Easy as 1 2 3! Before working at the language school, my teaching experience was minimal. I had worked as a tour guide for about a year and a half but I had never taught English before. I\'ve now been working as an English teacher for five months and I\'ve learned A LOT! The following are five confessions of a new teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>1. The English language is ridiculous </strong></p>\n<p>It\'s amazing how you go through life never even knowing the intricacies of your own language! In the past five months, I\'ve learned more than I ever wanted to know about English grammar. The most important thing I\'ve learned: English is both difficult and ridiculous. Present, Past, Future! Simple, Continuous, Perfect! Active, Passive, Conditional! And dear God, the articles!! For every rule there are 5 exceptions. For every regular verb there are 5 irregulars! I find myself apologizing to my students for corrections that I can\'t explain properly. \"Remember your articles! Oh, but don\'t use an article with \'dinner.\'\" I\'m sure they think that I\'m making up the rules as I go. Because English is ridiculous!</p>\n<p><strong>2. Teaching English = Long Days</strong></p>\n<p>Because I work at a language school, I am at school when my university and working students are available for class. This means that I work in the afternoon and at night, usually for 9 hours a day. Most days, I spend about 11 hours per day commuting to work, working and commuting home. These long days are not easy and they are often really draining.</p>\n<p><strong>3. English School = English Bubble</strong></p>\n<p>I came to Thailand with the best intentions of learning Thai, really! I studied the language and alphabet while in America, I bought a Thai book and downloaded Thai lessons to my Ipod. I assumed that once I lived in Thailand I would magically absorb the Thai language and become fluent in no time! However, I\'ve learned that it\'s quite difficult to learn and practice Thai when you are trapped in an English bubble for 9 hours every day. My school is an \"all-English\" zone and my fellow teachers and I must reprimand students for using Thai. Outside of school, all of my friends speak English, native speakers and Thais. The only Thai I speak during the day is when I buy food on the street and take motorcycle taxis. It\'s possible that my Thai has actually gotten worse since I arrived!</p>\n<p><strong>4. Teaching= 50% Monotony and 50% Creativity. </strong></p>\n<p>I find myself saying the same things day in and day out. \"Remember to add \'s\' to verbs with he/she/it subjects.\" \"Remember articles with countable nouns.\" \"Speak English!\" I teach the same pre-prepared lessons regularly, which is both good and bad. This repetition is countered withr the 8 original activities I get to create every month. I really like making these activities and I can choose any topic I want. I\'ve made activities about Thai soap operas, Lady Gaga songs and an imaginary Bangkok snow storm. It\'s fun to inspire the students and watch them have fun while practicing English.</p>\n<p><strong>5. My Students Make My Day!</strong></p>\n<p>No matter how long my days are, how badly my Thai is suffering, how monotonous my days are and how ridiculous English is, I know that my students will always make me smile. Most of my students are around my age and they are very interested in talking to me and learning about my life and why I came to Thailand. I truly love them and they make my day </p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Don\'t forget to pay a visit to my <a href=\"http://www.myhotpinkpassport.com/\">own personal on-line blog</a> as well&nbsp;- see you there!</p>','','2013-03-30 08:11:18',1,'2013-03-30 08:11:18','2014-05-14 17:05:19'),(13707,72,'Blogging for cash','blogging-for-cash','Part 2 of 10 ways to supplement your main teaching income','I\'m going to discuss how to start a blog and cultivate it into a potential source of income by looking how to start a blog, write for the web and make money from your hard work.','<p>In part one of this series <a href=\"/blogs/carl-heaton/looking-for-private-students/\">I talked about finding students online</a> and we had a great response from people trying&nbsp;the ideas&nbsp;out. In&nbsp;this second&nbsp;part,&nbsp;I will discuss how to start a blog and cultivate it into a potential source of income by&nbsp;analysing how to start a blog, write for the web and how to make money from your hard work.\n<p>I have been lucky enough to talk to many successful bloggers and they all say the same thing when I ask what it takes to make a blog successful.&nbsp;Keep in mind the acronym&nbsp;P.I.C - Passion! Interest! Consistency! That\'s what a successful&nbsp;blog is all about.</p>\n<h3>Passion</h3>\n<p>You need to love what you are writing about and most importantly, so does your audience. Pick your audience and&nbsp;consider what they are passionate about. Do this and you are already on the road to a successful blog. To get the ball rolling, start writing down titles of your blog and taglines, then test&nbsp;them on your friends and colleagues. Look for that spark in their eye when you tell them what&nbsp;your blog&nbsp;will be about. How do you know if your readers are passionate about what you write? Because they will comment on&nbsp;and share your content.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.davidlebovitz.com\">Here\'s a great example of a blog written with passion</a>.&nbsp;David Lebovitz\'s blog&nbsp;has become one of the top food blogs of 2013 and David\'s passion for baking comes through both&nbsp;in his writing and in&nbsp;his photography. The site is both clean and efficient and he recommends books and apps to make a decent income. David\'s posts often attract up to 60 to a 100 comments -&nbsp;so you can see his readers are also salivating with every post and sharing his passion for good&nbsp;food.</p>\n</p>\n<p>Writing about something only you&nbsp;are passionate about is called a diary. Writing about what others are passionate about is a blog.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl25.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Interesting</h3>\n<p>\n<p>This is the hard part, the peak of the mountain of Blogdonia. The interesting part comes from a handful of research, three tablespoons of good, to-the-point stories,&nbsp;mix in one cup of either humor or cynicism and whisk gently to give a fresh spin on things. Most of all, keeping fresh ideas flowing is the key to keeping your readers interest. Interesting can also be the style of writing. For example you can write from the point of view of someone else, write from a pseudonym with a warped sense of humor or you can just be on the ball and at the forefront of the news.</p>\n<p>Imagine two friends talking in a bar about the subject you blog about and one guy turns to the other and says: \"I found this great blog the other day all about.....\".</p>\n<p>Start by thinking about the sources of your information and how you would digest and write about them. Try writing an article then <br />1. Reading it aloud in front of the mirror as if it were a conversation. At any point do you wish it would just end - or are you looking forward to speaking the next paragraph? Does it have good rhythm and build upon an interesting point?<br />2. Read it to a friend and at the end ask them to tell you two interesting points in the blog -&nbsp;and one point you could have&nbsp;got across&nbsp;better.</p>\n<p>A good example of this is Grouchyrabbit, <a href=\"http://grouchyrabbit.com\">which is a fun and fantastic little blog</a>. Readers submit funny snippets under specific categories such as \"signs things aren\'t going so well\" or \"to-do\". One of my favorites is:</p>\n<p>DEFINITION: Irony (noun) - drawing trees on paper.</p>\n<p>Being interesting is just as about story telling as it is about the story. Put a fresh spin on historical writing, accurate up-to-date details on the present and intriguing thoughts into the future. Which brings us nicely to.....</p>\n<h3>Consistency</h3>\n<p>The most important of all of the above or below is this little fella: consistency. It is what keeps people coming back for their daily, weekly or even monthly dose. It helps you develop a loyal following who are more inclined to comment, share or like your content. Consistency in blogging also helps you plan ahead. You should assign days for writing and then&nbsp;marketing the post once it is on-line.</p>\n<p>Take this series of&nbsp;blogs that you are reading now&nbsp;for example, I have agreed with Ajarn.com to release them on a bi-weekly basis and by doing so you will start to expect parts 3,4 and 5 etc and come back to this great website ready to read the next installment.</p>\n<p>Here\'s a&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.gerrymcgovern.com/new-thinking\">great example of consistency in a blog</a>. Gerry McGovern\'s&nbsp;New Thinking&nbsp;is a weekly blog and newsletter that Gerry releases on the dot every week. I have come to expect his email every Sunday evening, which I then read before bed. I am a loyal and avid fan of his blog and share every post -&nbsp;and now I am recommending it to you dear Ajarn.com reader.</p>\n<p>To be consistent I recommend creating a content schedule that you can keep to. Put it in your diary with enough time for research, writing and marketing.</p>\n<h3>Quality not quantity</h3>\n<p>Writing quality articles is much harder but so much more rewarding. A quality article will receive a lot more traffic and traffic can mean more&nbsp;dollars, baht, drachma or whatever your PayPal account is set to accept. Quality articles attract quality links and these are key to raising your search engine ranking. You will often find other websites referencing your article within theirs and this is excellent for driving even more traffic to your site.</p>\n<p>For example:&nbsp;I&nbsp;wrote a blog about creating&nbsp;a guide to making a business card using Adobe InDesign and that one blog post has been linked to over a 100 times from various blogs on the internet&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2011/06/65-indesign-tutorial-roundup-for-graphic-designers.html\">including some of the top design magazines such as Trip Wire</a></p>\n<p>A quality article answers questions, informs and intrigues users to want to read more. It should have a nice mix of gaining the readers interest, phrasing the issue, answering it and concluding succinctly while promoting further discussion.</p>\n<p>Good example: <a href=\"http://alistapart.com/column/they-keep-using-that-word\">This article by David Sleight</a> attacks the use of the world \"real\" in today\'s media. It is well written, flows well and has a well founded opinion.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl24.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\n<h3>Writing for the Web</h3>\n</p>\n<p>People skim read on the web. They first look over the titles, decided if they have the time and inclination to read the amount of text and want to know quickly if the article is what they are looking for. They also will want to know if&nbsp;the article or blog&nbsp;will benefit them by reading it.</p>\n<p>How do I write a blog? I first come up with the title and then start researching it. I put down some bullet points for the major sections. Under each section I then write a series of bullet points that I will then expand on&nbsp;when I do the actual writing. Once the structure is there, I write the introduction that should&nbsp;outline the issue I want to discuss in the article, such as \"earning more income as a teacher\", and then give&nbsp;readers the main benefits to this article. Re-read the introduction to this article and you\'ll see the pattern.</p>\n<p>A tip is to use blog&nbsp;titles that give the reader an idea of the main body&nbsp;content but not give away the secrets just yet. Below each title I have two to three paragraphs maximum as the reader often \'skim reads\'. If you want&nbsp;readers to pick up on something important; simply bold the text.</p>\n<p><img height=\"151\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/carl23.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<h3>How to make a blog</h3>\n<p>This is where technology makes life easy. You have many choices but the main two blogging platforms&nbsp;are Wordpress.com and Tumbler.com. Each has their own merits so it is down to your personal preference. Simply register, enter your blog title, pick a theme, tweak your final settings and your good to go. Both platforms are super-easy to use and come with lots of help and support.</p>\n<h3>What to do once you have posted content</h3>\n<p>Once you post an article you need to share it on social networks, reference it from other pages, share it&nbsp;with your readers and try and get it linked to from a quality website. Sharing on social networks is easy when you have share buttons installed on your blog. All blogs nowadays have Facebook like, tweet and Google plus on their posts and so should you.</p>\n<h3>Sending out newsletters</h3>\n<p>To let your existing readers know about new content&nbsp;you can do this via a newsletter. Again adding a newsletter to a blog is super-easy with Wordpress and Tumbler and I recommend MailChimp.com as the way of sending out your newsletter.</p>\n<h3>Quality links are gold!</h3>\n<p>Earning links from quality websites is not easy i.e websites like this one linking to your website. One way to do it is post comments on other blogs and mention your article. Only do this if it is relevant to the post you are&nbsp;commenting on though. You can also contact the site owners and ask them to link to you or you can write a guest post (like this one) and have a link back to your blog.</p>\n<h3>How to monetize your blog</h3>\n<p>So you have worked hard and you are starting to get a following and decent traffic to your blog (say over 20,000 unique hits per month, which you can find out by installing Google Analytics)&nbsp;Now it&nbsp;is time to start making some money!&nbsp; You have a few choices:</p>\n<p>1. Premium content - this is where you charge users for special content. This is not easy and your content will have to be something very special to loosen your reader\'s purse strings. Start by asking potential readers and friends if they would buy your content.</p>\n<p>2. Banner advertising - this is how most blogs make their money. They attract business owners such as myself to advertise to their niche market. As your traffic grows start to advertise there is banner advertising for sale and work out how much you want to charge and when. For example 5000 baht per month or using a service like <a href=\"http://buysellads.com\">buysellads</a>&nbsp;to manage it all for you.</p>\n<p>3. Google Adsense - this is also very popular as Google does all the hard work. All you need is users to click the Google ads and then you receive a commission based on your traffic and click thru rate. <a href=\"https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&amp;answer=9712\">See this article for more information</a></p>\n<p>4. Affiliate marketing - this is selling other peoples goods or services and in doing so you earn a commission. Amazon makes this easy with their \"partner program\". Once you register you can look for specific items that would interest your readers and you paste a little bit of code on your site. If you look back at <a href=\"http://www.davidlebovitz.com\">David Lebovitz\'s site</a>&nbsp;you\'ll see the kind of of books he is recommended to his readers.</p>\n<h3>A twist in the tale</h3>\n<p>Seen as we are talking about making money from blogging, all of what I wrote about above can be applied to doing it for other businesses. If you are not sure about writing&nbsp;for yourself then charge people to write about them. Professional bloggers are rare and a sought after commodity.</p>\n<h3>Do you blog already?</h3>\n<p>I would love to hear how you made your blog a success in the comments below. Is there some special tricks I missed? Or do you have an idea for a blog you want some opinion on? Either way leave me a comment below as I love to hear from you.</p>','','2013-04-01 01:05:41',1,'2013-04-01 01:05:41','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(13710,71,'Choosing the right employer','choosing-the-right-employer','The joys of working for a teacher agency','I wouldn\'t say I have a \"horror story\" per se, but rather a three-ringed circus. I found the whole ordeal quite amusing for the most part, although the never getting paid on time or the correct amount, along with the constant harassing emails from whom I can only assume to be a mentally imbalanced employer did get a bit tiresome by the end. ','<p>We\'ve all heard horror stories about working for terrible agencies in Thailand and other countries. Well, as I have mentioned in the past, I had the opportunity to experience such an agency first-hand. Not anymore, of course, being that I was fired from the agency for no reason about a month ago, but I did make almost an entire semester.</p>\n<p>Actually, I exaggerate. I wouldn\'t say I have a \"horror story\" per se, but rather a three-ringed circus. I found the whole ordeal quite amusing for the most part, although the never getting paid on time or the correct amount, along with the constant harassing emails from whom I can only assume to be a mentally imbalanced employer did get a bit tiresome by the end. I won\'t name specific agencies because I\'m not trying to finger point or name stain; I just figured that I\'d throw out a few warning signs to other potential noobs (nerd talk for newbie) teachers like I was.</p>\n<p>First, I do have a few friends working for agencies that have no problems&nbsp;with them. And to those new in the teaching field, agencies are among the easiest to get jobs with when you\'re first starting off. Hiring directly with government schools, language schools, and international schools almost always want some kind of experience on your resume, whereas the few agencies I interviewed with last year didn\'t seem to have this as a priority. So, working for a decent agency can rid you of the catch-22 problem of needing to get experience to have it on a resume.</p>\n<p>That said, if you have the time or ability, it\'s certainly worth looking around online and through friends for reviews of the agency with which you interview and/or get offered a job. If I had of done this when I started, I would have found more than a few scathing reviews of the agency I signed on with and several of its aliases. Note here: I\'ve heard tell of other agencies doing like mine in this regard in the Bangkok area as well, using several different names to advertise for the same company to deter name recognition. Very clever, I\'ll hand it to them. So, even if you\'re a new teacher, don\'t just jump at the very first opportunity you get. If you\'re a confident teacher, there\'s certainly no harm in telling someone you\'ll get back to them. Unless you\'re truly desperate, try to at least arrange a second interview before signing.</p>\n<p>If you do sign a contract, note a few things. First, from what I\'m told, Thai-written contracts are the only truly valid documents in the courts here. I could be wrong, but from everyone I\'ve asked, if there are two versions of your contract (English and Thai), the Thai one takes precedence. I note this because after I started, not only did my employer change parts of my English contract AFTER I had signed it (namely our pay date and an extra page of stipulations), but I later found out that the Thai version of my contract - which I foolishly signed - had all kinds of different things that I didn\'t even know existed.</p>\n<p>One such amusing stipulation that I found out was on the Thai contract was that if I in \"any way\" harmed the reputation of my school or agency, or incurred any kinds of physical or intellectual damages, I was liable to pay the agency some ridiculous compensation which had an interest rate applied to it. Obviously, had I known that was on the contract I was signing, I would have laughed and walked out. But hey, naivety got the best of me, and my employer seemed trustworthy upon the first meeting.</p>\n<p>Next, if you do take the job, note the attitudes of any teachers who have been with the agency/company for any period of time before. This isn\'t always reliable, as you\'ll always have the sourpuss teachers who can\'t be happy with anything, but veteran teachers\' attitudes towards their agency can give you a hint for what you\'re in for. The very first day of my last semester, for example, the two teachers out of seven who carried over had some interesting stories to tell about those that the \"new crop\" of us were replacing. And, funny enough, the very same things that happened to our predecessors (not getting paid, harassing calls and emails, etc.) happened to us.</p>\n<p>My final piece of advice: while any employer may offer you a work permit, be realistic about it. Agencies exist because there is typically a high teacher turnover, and someone has to deal with the hiring of new ones fairly frequently. Getting a work permit is a rather tedious process. People are lazy. Add these things together, and you can understand why getting a work permit may be something that never happens for you. And, without a work permit, even if your employer does abuse you in some way, you have absolutely no legal rights in Thailand... because, technically, you\'re working illegally.</p>\n<p>I certainly can see the point in agencies. If managed correctly, they can use the fee they get from your salary from the school to free the school from worrying about substitutes, legal paperwork, and school materials. But obviously this isn\'t always what happens. It\'s not only unfair to you as the employer, but also the students and other teachers of the school you\'re working at. While I stuck it out at my school (even after getting fired) out of regard for my students and colleagues, it\'s certainly not something everyone would be willing OR able to do.</p>\n<p>Luckily for me, due to our loyalty to our school, we are being hired on directly next semester without the agency. But this will certainly not always be the case. Am I bitter about my semester with an agency that still owes me over 15,000 baht, didn\'t pay on time a single time, never paid the correct amount, sent threatening emails on at least a weekly basis, and eventually fired me when they realized the school I was working at actually liked me (thereby degrading the agency\'s power)? Believe it or not, no. Because without this experience, I\'d probably be just as naive as I was six months ago.</p>\n<p>But would I do it again? Absolutely not.</p>','','2013-04-03 16:34:44',1,'2013-04-03 16:34:44','2013-04-04 06:06:46'),(14247,57,'Wet, wet, wet','wet-wet-wet','Going door to door and staying dry!','We can at least attempt to escape a number of those rainy season downpours by living as close to the BTS and MRT stations as possible, and in fact some of the condominium developers in Bangkok have gone one stage further and actually linked their buildings to a station','<p>Before we begin, please note this is certainly not a reference to the singing trio from Scotland headed by Marty Pello, who had huge a hit back in 1994 with a cover of the 1967 Troggs classic \'Love is all around\', whilst riding on the coat-tails of the Oscar nominated and witty \'Four Weddings and a Funeral\'. More this is an article written as a slight twist to the real estate mantra, \'Location, location, location\' and with Songkran just gone,&nbsp;it\'s apt to refer to the subject of getting incredibly wet whilst living in Bangkok, not so much due to 12 year olds squirting water pistols, but rather due to the heavy downpours we will undoubtedly experience during the rainy season later this year.</p>\n<p>Of course there is no control over the weather in a big city like Bangkok, but we can at least attempt to escape a number of the downpours by living as close to the BTS and MRT stations as possible, and in fact some of the condominium developers in Bangkok have gone one stage further and actually linked their buildings to a station, therefore providing total cover for residents during the rainy season, whilst they travel to and from their home via the BTS or MRT.</p>\n<p>One of the first condos in Bangkok to do this was the <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/nusasiri-grand-condo-klong-toey-709\">Nusasiri Grand Condominium in Ekamai</a>, which as built with a link to the BTS via a small bridge. The building is multi-purpose and also houses a medi-plex and small retail outlets such as coffee shops and supermarkets. An unusual design with huge condos offering lots of space for tenants. Studios are over 40sqm and one bedrooms over 70 sqm for example, but then this is reflected in the price. However the condominium is very popular due to its sky-link to the BTS station.</p>\n<p>Moving just one stop further down to Thonglor and again there is another condo with a link to the BTS station, <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/noble-remix-thonglor-1572\">Noble Remix is a huge condo</a>, housing many units, but again a premium is paid for the convenience of not only being about 50m from the BTS train platform, but also for the sky-link to an from the BTS train system. However of course this will once again mean that people renting in Noble Remix will not have to get wet when travelling to and from their homes to the station. And in fact if they are travelling to another building that links to other BTS stations such s Siam, Chit Lom or Victory Monument, then there is no reason to get wet at all!</p>\n<p>The problem is of course, these condos are at the high-end of the market when it comes to budget, but it is getting clear that both the train providers and the condo developers realize that by linking up their respective structures they both gain from customer growth and support. Therefore now other new condominiums are getting in on the act and will be building more links to the BTS stations.</p>\n<p>At Bang Na station, there is a new condominium which also houses a mixed use format of residential and retail called The Coast condominium. Again with a sky-link under construction, this will provide the same benefits as Noble Remix and Nusasiri Grand Condo, but at a lower cost.</p>\n<p>But if you cannot wait that long, then further up the BTS line at Phraknong it is possible to find the Le Luk condominium and its sister tower <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/sky-walk-phrakanong-2947\">the Skywalk condominium</a>, which really speaks for itself. Again a brand new and excellently built new condominium, the Skywalk houses big condos (by modern standards), but at very competitive rates.</p>\n<p>So if you are thinking of moving from your current location, or indeed you are planning on living in Bangkok for the first time in the near future, then it is important to consider the convenience, or sometimes inconvenience of living through the rainy season. The rainy season can be 4 months or so long and of course even outside of the so-called season, Bangkok can be hit by bouts of heavy downpours and even storms. So living in a convenient location such as those highlighted above could be a very worthwhile move.</p>\n<p>Of course even living within a short walk of either a BTS or MRT station can also provide very similar experiences, and there are plenty of well constructed, smartly styled and reasonably priced condos to be found within a 100m radius of many of the stations around the city. So apart from at Songkran when it is impossible not to, don\'t get wet, wet, wet unnecessarily and instead use the old mantra, \'location, location, location\' when choosing your accommodation you can stay dry, dry, dry.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

This embarrassing nightmare is brought to you by a New York based performance art group known as \"Improve Everywhere\": a group of utterly bored people with so few brain cells, you can count them on one hand. According to what I\'ve been reading about them on the Internet (and only for research purposes) Improve Everywhere began taking their attention seeking illness to the subway in New York City in 2002. Since then, the illness has spread to over 60 cities worldwide.</p>\n<p>Dubbed \"No Pants Subway Ride\", it took place in Shanghai on Sunday January 13 of this year. It was the first time this was held on mainland China, and I hope it will be the last. Some reports say about 30 foreigners took part in Shanghai; some reports put the number as high as 50, while one article said \"about a dozen.\" Apparently, the reporters must have left their math skills in their pants pocket.</p>\n<p>There is no rhyme or reason for this kind of nonsense. <a href=\"http://www.improveverywhere.com\">According to their website</a>, \"The mission started as a small prank with seven guys and has grown into an international celebration of silliness, with dozens of cities around the world participating each year. The idea behind No Pants is simple: Random passengers board a subway car at separate stops in the middle of winter without pants. The participants do not behave as if they know each other, and they all wear winter coats, hats, scarves, and gloves. The only unusual thing is their lack of pants.\"</p>\n<p>It is one thing to celebrate silliness in your own country; but, as a foreigner living and working in Asia, this kind of \"silliness\" has no place here. I have no idea what these foreigners do for a living or why they are in China, but I am willing to bet the family farm that not a single one of them is a brain surgeon. They may have Bachelor\'s degrees or Master\'s degrees, but all their years of education are useless without a lick of common sense.</p>\n<p>It\'s bad enough that foreigners, especially foreign English teachers, are seen as low class, ethically-challenged, beer-swilling, skirt-chasing Neanderthals. It\'s bad enough that way too many foreigners in Asia spend their evenings and weekends drinking to extreme and posting their sexual exploits with Asian women all over the Internet. But do they have to go on the subway and take their pants off to prove what tasteless, morally-depraved, and vile creatures they can sometimes be? Did it occur to any of them that children may be on the subway, children with their mothers on the way to Wal-Mart, or grandma\'s house? Did they stop and think before taking off their pants that mainland China may not be the optimal place for this kind of Western silliness and stupidity?</p>\n<p>According to www.shanghaiist.com, Johanna Hoopes, one of the organizers said, \"We got stared at a lot. But actually foreigners always get stared at in the metro in China, so this was nothing out of the ordinary really.\"</p>\n<p>Yes, we foreigners do get stared at a lot; especially when we remove our pants in public places. But if you\'re going to get stared at on the subway, why not be stared at while helping a youngster with her homework; or speaking a few friendly words to her like, \"Hello\" and \"What\'s your name?\" It may not have occurred to Improve Everywhere that riding the subway sans pantalon may not be the way to go when it comes to cultural exchanges between the East and West.</p>\n<p>According to an article on www.globaltimes.cn, the organizers of the Shanghai event said they were not worried about getting in trouble with the police. \"We\'re not trying to offend anyone - we just want to make people laugh,\" said Hoopes. \"But if the police did come, we all had our pants in our bags so we could just put them back on.\"</p>\n<p>On www.cityweekend.com.cn, Hoopes says that the event was pretty successful for its first time and that she was \"just glad that no one got arrested or kicked out of the country.\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steve01.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>No one got arrested or kicked out of the country. Now therein lies the problem and the solution.</p>\n<p>The Chinese authorities are not blameless here as well. They could have (and should have) done something about this. I am currently living in Shenzhen China, right across the border from Hong Kong and teach in a public middle school. I have been here since December 7, 2012.</p>\n<p>On January 24th and 25th of this year many public school teachers in the Futian district of Shenzhen, myself included, attended an orientation or training seminar on living and working in China. On the morning of the 25th a police officer from the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau gave a talk titled \"Interpreting Relevant Laws and Rules.\" What was said was simple and to the point: We foreigners are not allowed to work on a tourist visa. We are to have all our original documents ready for the processing of a resident\'s permit, which allows us to stay and work legally while in China. We are not to engage in any part-time work outside of our designated school. It is illegal to take recreational drugs or narcotics and to visit houses of prostitution. Those who break these laws, or any other laws in China, can be faced with fines, deportation, and even prison time.</p>\n<p>I can understand the strict prohibition against working on a tourist visa, taking illicit drugs, attempting to pass fake degrees and certificates to prospective employers, and even availing oneself to a prostitute every now and then. What I don\'t get is this: Why it would be illegal for a foreign teacher to spend one\'s free time helping a teenage boy or girl pass a TOEFL or IELTS examination (yes, for some extra money), while absolutely nothing happens to a bunch of foreigners who ride the subway in their underwear. Someone please explain this kind of Chinese logic to me. The \"No Pants Subway Ride\" in Shanghai was a perfect opportunity for the Chinese authorities to make an example of foreigners who seem hell bent on making fools of themselves.</p>\n<p>What these brain dead foreigners did on the Shanghai subway was not a childish prank or a publicity stunt. It was a crime, and should be treated as such. The \"No Pants\" foreigners were not simply being silly; they were being offensive. They were being rude and crude. They were \"sticking it\" to the Chinese people. The \"No Pants\" display was equivalent to \"flipping the bird.\"</p>\n<p>But it was far worse. The unwanted public display of hairy, smelly buttocks is more offensive than any middle finger.</p>\n<p>So here is what the punishment should have been: Johanna Hoopes, (pictured on the left without pants), was right to be concerned about getting \"arrested and kicked out of the country.\"</p>\n<p>So why not arrest them and kick them out of the country? Appropriate punishment, if I do say so myself. But before arrest and deportation, I have something more sinister in mind. Since they embarrassed the Chinese people with their tasteless display of public semi-nudity, it\'s time for some payback. Round up all those who participated in the first annual Shanghai No Pants Subway Ride, put them on their knees on prime time television, (I hear CCTV 1 is popular), and have them apologize to the Chinese people for disrespecting the Chinese nation and its culture. I know that it probably wouldn\'t be a sincere apology, but that\'s beside the point. What matters here is that these people be publicly shamed and humiliated for what they have done. Then arrest them, fine them, and deport them.</p>\n<p>One more thing about foreigners with no pants: The fact that there were women at this event is doubly offensive. With all the discrimination of females in the developing world, with all of the visceral hatred of girls and women in culturally backwards nations, with all the sexual assault perpetrated against women and girls on a daily basis, it is tragic and unfortunate that one of the organizers, a woman, chose to join that circus dubbed \"No Pants Subway Ride.\" As a woman, she should have known better. As a woman, she should have cared more and been more cognizant about what others would have thought about such a display. Miss Hoopes, and others like her, where is your dignity and self-respect?</p>\n<p>Having said all this, I consider myself fortunate to do what I do. I have a challenging and rewarding job. I teach in a good middle school, have friendly co-workers, and some hard-working students. I have been blessed to meet some amazing and dedicated foreign teachers here in Shenzhen, some of whom are professionals with advanced degrees and many years of teaching experience in their home countries. That gives me hope that the TEFL industry may not be as sick and depraved as I sometimes make it out to be.</p>\n<p>I just wish I could hear and see more stories about teachers in foreign countries who are doing some good work.

YAY!\" My sarcastic enthusiasm is completely lost as I receive only awkward smiles and downright frowns from my Thai students. This odd exchange of sarcasm and non-response is repeated daily at my school. A mumbling of, \"Oh, it\'s raining. Good, I wanted to get wet today!\" is returned with a confused \"Really?\" Often my sarcastic remarks are completely ignored.</p>\n<p>As an American, sarcasm runs in my blood. I toss around sarcastic comments without a second thought. My friends and I communicate with sarcasm as a mode of humour, defence and as a coping method. Even when I try to tone down my sarcasm, those rascally comments still slip from my lips! I know that my students are vaguely aware of sarcasm but they don\'t quite understand it and they certainly would never use it on their own. Because many of them want to befriend foreigners, travel to western countries and study abroad, I thought that I might help introduce them to the concept. However, I soon realized that sarcasm and Thailand do not and should not mix!</p>\n<p>My \'Introduction to Sarcasm\' activity began with a matching game. I told my students to match sarcastic comments such as \"What great weather!\" and \"I feel fantastic\" to pictures of rain clouds and hospital patients. \"OH!\" they exclaimed, \"Sarcasm is like the opposite of what is true!\" I nodded and continued to explain that sarcasm is used as a funny way to talk about something negative. For example, rather than saying, \"It\'s raining and I don\'t like it,\" we would say, \"Great weather!\" I also modelled sarcastic tone compared to genuine tone. They seemed to get it!</p>\n<p>The final twenty minutes of class involved small groups of students writing and presenting skits using sarcasm. This is when things went downhill. Three girls (two beautiful and thin, one more unfortunate in appearance) stepped up first.</p>\n<p>\"You\'re so pretty,\" Beautiful Girl #1 said to Unfortunate Girl. Unfortunate Girl nodded her head. My stomach tightened. Ugh oh...</p>\n<p>\"Yes, and you\'re so skinny!\" remarked Beautiful Girl #2. Again, Unfortunate Girl nodded and I frowned. This was not good!</p>\n<p>\"You should be in a beauty pageant! I think that every boy wants to date you! You have beautiful clothes.\" The barrage of insults kept coming as Unfortunate girl kept smiling and nodding her head.</p>\n<p>\"Yes, I am the most beautiful girl in the world,\" Concluded Unfortunate Girl.</p>\n<p>The group took their seats. The rest of the class, as usual, wasn\'t paying attention, but rather they were practicing sarcasm together. \"You\'re definitely Man\'s only girlfriend!\" sneered Flirty Girl. \"It\'s none of your business!\" Girlfriend hotly remarked.\"Your clothes are so trendy\" shouted HI-So Girl at Isaan Girl. \"You are so popular,\" Butterfly said to Lonely Boy.</p>\n<p>I watched in horror as my formerly sweet students slung sassy comments across the room at one another. It really upset me to see my polite Thai students behave so out of character. I had to shut it down! I know that in their minds they weren\'t being bullying or offensive but I didn\'t like it.</p>\n<p>My advice to any English teachers considering using sarcasm as a subject: DON\'T DO IT!

He didn\'t know it was actually true -&nbsp;not until he experienced a series of good luck events&nbsp;in his life like getting an English teaching job at age 59, teaching in one of the best schools in Thailand , and appearing on Thai television as an artist in the ASEAN episode of Na Art Show on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Channel 6.\n<p>One time, he dropped by Pantip Plaza (a popular computer mall in Bangkok)&nbsp;to reformat his notebook. When finished, he took lunch at the food court and went home. The taxi he took had already&nbsp;been&nbsp;travelling&nbsp;for 20 minutes when he remembered his notebook. He&nbsp;immediately told the driver to return to Pantip. He was worried&nbsp;because he couldn\'t afford to lose his files. Upon reaching the fourth floor of the&nbsp;shopping mall&nbsp;he&nbsp;was perspiring like a prize athlete&nbsp;in a long race. He closed his eyes, muttered a prayer, and when he opened his eyes, \"Eureka!\" His bag and computer were there&nbsp;in front of him.<br /><br />In another instance, Matt had a field trip to Cha-am as an end of term activity. The night before the trip, he had a premonition that something wrong would happen, but he couldn\'t tell what it was. Anyway, he went on the trip as planned. As he was taking&nbsp;a ride to&nbsp;school,&nbsp;he suddenly realised that his&nbsp;wallet was nowhere to be found. He searched everywhere, but couldn\'t find it. In his wallet was his ATM card, swipe card for&nbsp;his apartment, and some money. That moment, he thought that the bad luck had arrived. It was good that he had money in his pocket so he still proceeded&nbsp;on the trip. To console himself and not spoil his day, he told himself it was okay for the wallet to be lost, as long as the money would go to someone who needed it most. In the evening, as soon as he returned from the field trip, he rushed to the bus terminal. Unbelievably, someone had handed the wallet in.</p>\n<p>In order that we won\'t lose our valuables when travelling, I thought of few hints and tips:</p>\n<p>1. While in the bus, refrain from daydreaming. This will make you forget your things especially when you realize that you already have to get off.<br />2. Everytime you leave your seat anywhere, always check if you left something.<br />3. Before leaving home, check if your jewelries, gadgets, or accessories are in good condition.<br />4. Don\'t be confident that when you lose something you will find it again. We can\'t be sure that finders will return our items.<br />5. When you have a companion, let him/her remind you if you forget something.<br />6. Make it a point to keep your bus ticket and&nbsp;memorize the name/number of your taxi.<br />7. Put important things in your bag. At all times, never depart from it.<br />8. Don\'t put all your identification cards, etc in your wallet. Bring only the IDs you need for the day in case you lose your wallet, you won\'t lose everything.<br />9. Have your name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address on your items&nbsp;so that you be contacted when someone finds your lost item.</p>\n<p>It\'s fortunate that our Filipino friends in Thailand have lost things and then found them. What a beautiful world this would be if nobody&nbsp;took things that&nbsp;were not theirs.

','<p>A story caught my eye very recently on the excellent <a href=\"http://www.richardbarrow.com/2013/04/bicycle-rental-service-to-launch-in-bangkok-on-1-may-2013/\">Richard Barrow in Thailand website</a>. On the 1st May, Bangkok introduced a bicycle rental scheme, presumably in an effort to encourage more people to go green and to go some way towards reducing the awful traffic jams that have become part and parcel of our daily lives in this city. A brave move destined for failure? You be the judge.\n<p>Similar schemes have already been implemented in several major European cities. On a recent trip to France, where I spent a couple of days in Paris, the distinctive grey rented commuter bikes are a common sight everywhere. I asked the elderly lady whose home I was staying at about the early days of the Paris rent-a-bike system.</p>\n<p>She told me that the scheme had been around for a couple of years but initially it was met with great skepticism. One night the population of Paris went to bed and the next morning, they woke up to &lsquo;bike stations\' all over the city and at each station, a whole row of gleaming new bicycles just waiting for someone to ride them.</p>\n<p>\"During the first days of the scheme, Parisians just stood around shaking their heads and not really knowing what to do\" my friend told me \"There were so many questions that seemed to be going unanswered. How long can one rent the bike for? How do I pay for the bike? What if I want to ride the bike from station A to station B and there are no parking slots there?\"</p>\n<p>But what was truly amazing was that while the Parisians stood around shrugging their shoulders and pointing at bicycles, the tourists - and Paris gets plenty of those - took to the rent-a-bike scheme like hunchbacks to Notre Dame. All you could see for weeks on the roads of Paris were tourists and sightseers zipping along The River Seine from the Arc De Triomphe to The Pompidou Center - all for just a few euros a day. And it sure beat taking the crowded, stuffy and sometimes dangerous metro system.</p>\n<p>Eventually though, the people of Paris, not to be outdone by a bunch of camera-wielding tourists, took to the saddle themselves and from that moment on, the scheme became a runaway success, especially for vehicle-owners tired of forking out a fortune for car-parking spaces in a city that is allegedly the most expensive in the world to park a car.</p>\n</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bikeschene.jpg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>\n<p>But let\'s go back to the scheme in Bangkok. As I understand it - and many thanks to Richard Barrow for providing the info - there are around a dozen bicycle stations, all unfortunately in the same area of the city. And you have to pay in the region of 300 baht a year for a card that enables you to access the machine and &lsquo;unlock\' the bikes. The rental fees themselves are ludicrously cheap - and it will only set you back a hundred baht if you keep the bike all day.</p>\n<p>There is also a website run by the company managing the rent-a-bike scheme but none of the information is in English. Is someone trying to tell us something?</p>\n<p>The big question of course is will the scheme work in Bangkok? I told ten Thai friends about the project - none of them knew or had read about the scheme - and every single one of those friends looked at me quizzically and then got me to repeat the story.</p>\n<p>What? Bicycles? In Bangkok?</p>\n<p>And then they all collapsed in a giggling fit.</p>\n<p>Sorry but you can add my name to that list of doubters as well. \"It\'s too hot\" are nearly always the first words to come out of a Thai person\'s mouth when discussing all things bicycle and Bangkok roads - and I\'ll go along with that.</p>\n<p>I have other issues too. The bike rental company has promised that the hire comes with full insurance. So if a truck driver, perhaps in Bangkok for the day from the rural North-east, accidentally runs you over, rest assured he\'ll stand over you and make sure you\'re OK while you both wait for a representative from the insurance company to arrive. Oh yes, and you know those gifts that you get on Christmas morning. Well, they\'re all made by elves in Santa\'s workshop.</p>\n<p>The whole scheme is a step - or at least a couple of pedals - in the right direction. But Bangkok isn\'t ready for this - just like Bangkok isn\'t ready for so many other things. This city will never be a cyclist\'s utopia or a two-wheeled commuter paradise where everyone is suddenly rushing to the store to buy padlocks and bicycle clips. Thais are simply too in love with their cars. And that\'s such a shame because I was a fanatical cyclist in my youth and I can\'t tell you how much I miss being in the saddle.</p>\n<p>I\'ll leave the last word on cycling in Bangkok to a teaching colleague I once worked with. He had decided to get fit and so bought himself a top-of-the-range mountain bike to cycle the six miles to work each morning and home again at night. To cut a long story short, he was hit by a car twice in the first four days. Not the same car mind - different cars on different days. The second time he was hit by a middle-aged woman driving an old Mercedes Benz. He managed to catch a glimpse of her through the rear windscreen as she sped away from the scene of the crime.</p>\n<p>Our friend then wheeled his buckled bike the rest of the way to school, gave it a good kick and never put his ass on the saddle again.</p>\n<p>And that\'s pretty much how I feel about&nbsp;cycling in Bangkok thank you very much.</p>\n</p>','','2013-05-02 00:07:18',1,'2013-05-02 00:07:18','2013-05-02 21:09:19'),(14695,72,'Copywriting','copywriting','Part 3 of 10 ways to supplement your teaching income','First of all let me say that good copywriters are hard to find and thus extremely valuable.

It is a niche job that has become more and more popular in the web sphere and has always had strong roots in print and media. As English teachers, you will already possess the strong skills you need in spelling and grammar but can you tell a story? Can you look at a product or service and entice and excite people enough to comment, sign-up or break out their credit card?</p>\n<p>In this, the third article on ten ways to make extra money as a teacher, I will discuss the skills you need to to be a copywriter and where to find work.</p>\n<h3>To specialise or not to specialise -&nbsp;that is the question</h3>\n<p>The first thing you need to consider is what type of copywriting you will do. Being a jack of all trades may mean more potential customers but I find having a niche and sticking to it is more beneficial in the end. So consider the following:</p>\n<p><strong>Marketing copyrighting</strong> - the aim here is to raise awareness and you should be able to intrigue the reader quickly and get the brand to stick in the reader\'s mind.</p>\n<p><strong>Sales copywriting</strong> - the hardest and the most sought after type of writing. Essentially you are implanting the desire to get the user to complete a CTA (call to action). This is often done using short punchy sentences and positive inspiring language. Break up the text with striking headings that ask questions and then answer them below and social proof i.e. the use of reviews testimonials and stats. Try and keep this type of writing like a conversation between friends and you\'ll see your clients getting more return on your work and thus you\'ll get more work from them.</p>\n<p><strong>SEO copywriting</strong> - this is a combination of the two above. The aim though is to have the clients keywords (phrases that their target audience will type into search engines to find them) woven into the copy to create a seamless flowing conversation on the page. This often requires you to research a topic and come up with articles the client will use to drive traffic to their site.</p>\n<p><strong>Technical copywriting</strong> - if you come from a specialist background this can be a highly lucrative income. I once had a student who wrote manuals on how to turn on....wait for it....oil rigs! He literally wrote the book of starting and running oil rigs and was paid well over 10,000 USD per manual.</p>\n<p>There are many more copywriting fields&nbsp;and <a href=\"http://bangkokbcwriting.com/copywriting.htm\">I recommending visiting this website</a>&nbsp;to see some examples of a company doing it here in Bangkok.</p>\n<h3>Websites on copywriting</h3>\n<p>There are some great sites&nbsp;out there on the topic of copywriting&nbsp;and here are a&nbsp;few that I always like to&nbsp;check out and heartily&nbsp;recommend you do the same.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://freelanceswitch.com/\">Freelanceswitch</a>&nbsp; / <a href=\"http://www.dorisandbertie.com/goodcopybadcopy/\">Doris and Bertie</a>&nbsp;/ <a href=\"http://www.copyblogger.com/blog/\">Copyblogger</a>&nbsp;(this one is my personal favorite) / <a href=\"http://www.makealivingwriting.com/\">Makealivingwriting</a></p>\n<h3>Five&nbsp;steps to copywriting</h3>\n<p><strong>Research</strong> - this is key and it is&nbsp;important to look for what people are not saying rather than trying to copy. Matt Cutts (the spokesperson for Google) said that \"original research\" is one of the keys to getting a web page at the&nbsp;top of Google. Look at something from a unique perspective or join the dots nobody has seen before. Research the keywords that people use when searching for the product or service.</p>\n<p><strong>Target the audience</strong> - Think of who is going to read this, what is the business targeting, what are they interested in, what they hate and how can you make them feel something? \"Do you hate the feeling when you wake up with a hangover?\" or \"Are you worried about missing out on ASEAN?\" Play to the readers emotions and they will buy into the message. When targeting the audience write down their age, location, likes, dislikes income and even family status. From there you have the information to target them more effectively.</p>\n<p><strong>What\'s in it for me?</strong> - the reader is reading this for his benefit not the good of his health. Concentrate on the \"you\" not the \"we\" and make sure the user sees what they will get out of this product or service quickly.</p>\n<p><strong>Avoid TMI</strong> - it is so so easy to overload the reader with information. Keep it is short and sweet is my advice. There are literally hundreds of things I could talk about on copywriting but I give you just enough to get started and hopefully inspire some interest too.</p>\n<p><strong>Read it Out Loud</strong> - you\'re done, you\'re proud and you\'re ready for the pub. But don\'t leave just yet. You need to make sure your copy sounds real, flows and has a good rhythm. Ask a buddy to listen and literally read out your text and see where you stumble, ramble or need a break. Copy is a conversation not a monologue.</p>\n<h3>Finding Work as a Copywriter</h3>\n<p>Well first of all we are looking for copywriters at our <a href=\"http://webcoursesagency.com/\">Bangkok Design Agency</a> so if you are keen to give it a try let us know.

The students are well behaved, and it was quite a lot of fun! Who would have thought you could get a job that pays you to have a good time at the zoo?','<p>During my government high school\'s summer program that I somehow got drafted to help with, we had the opportunity to take our students to Safari World in Bangkok. I\'ve never been on the \"adult\" end of a field trip, so I had no idea what to expect... and this being Thailand, the trip certainly didn\'t disappoint.</p>\n<p>First, at least if you\'re from the USA, a field trip is pretty much a big deal. You must have permission forms signed and checked, adequate student-to-teacher-and-parent ratios, risk assessments, emergency plans... pretty much the same thing you\'d need to do before undertaking a CIA mission. Actually, in my home county in Georgia, the school system stopped field trips altogether because there was simply too much paperwork and costs involved. But, not here in Thailand!<br />Permission forms weren\'t present. There was a roster that we used to see who all should be on the bus before leaving the school, but that was about it. No risk assessments, no liability forms, no nothing.</p>\n<p>And that said, I must say: the students, all 40 or so of them, were far more well behaved than any field trip I\'ve ever been on! The cultural differences are amazing... in a good way. The fact that there are less rules and restrictions seems to make the students more well behaved. Go figure.</p>\n<p>The bus itself for this trip was comical. I will certainly say it\'s the nicest bus I\'ve been on for any kind of school trip by far; it was a coach, and even in America I\'m used to non-air conditioned buses. But this bus didn\'t have enough seats for the students, so there were ten or so of them just lounging in the aisles and leaning against the door next to the driver. No big deal.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, this particular bus did not have any working gauges. BUT, it did have a 2x1500 watt amped stereo system that the students and bus driver used to have a mini-rave en route from the school to the zoo. Who needs to know how fast you\'re going when you can have a party on board?</p>\n<p>But enough about the amusing journey. Safari World in Bangkok is quite a neat place to visit, albeit steaming hot as is all of Bangkok. You enter the park by going through a mini-safari (as the name would suggest), and get to see the works: lions, tigers, ostriches, giraffes... it\'s Africa in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The park itself, once you\'re through the safari, has plenty of exhibits and shows to offer. I won\'t say it\'s the coolest place I\'ve ever been, but for a field trip, it certainly was worth the time there. We saw several shows, including sea lions (my favorite), dolphins, an orangutan rock and boxing show, an American Western show, and a quite impressive James Bond show. So really, it\'s a theme park with a zoo on the side.</p>\n<p>The students, although quite hot, seemed to enjoy themselves, but I\'d argue that I had a better time than they did. The older I get, the younger I am, right?<br />All in all, I\'m hoping to be invited on another Thai school field trip. The students are well behaved, and it was quite a lot of fun!

Some schools and institutes seem to fill their vacancies with little effort while others seem to struggle - even after posting several job ads on the internet&nbsp;in a short space of time.\n<p>I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by a very nice Thai lady who is in charge of recruiting teachers for a government school in rural Thailand. The email began like this....</p>\n<p>Dear Ajarn. I have placed three job ads on ajarn.com recently but the response to those ads and the number of applications received have been very poor - in fact far lower than we expected. I have been directly recruiting teachers for my school for over ten years and this is the most difficult it has ever been. I really don\'t want to go down the teacher agency route - despite the fact that I seem to get a new agency contact me every day promising to supply us with good teachers.</p>\n<p>Truth is we still prefer to hire teachers directly because we feel it works out better for both parties. However, I\'m beginning to see a partnership with a teaching agency as the only remaining option. Would you kindly do me the favor of having a look over my job ads to see where perhaps the school is going wrong?</p>\n<p>From a business point of view, customers such as this lady who wrote the e-mail above are like gold. Rather than say nothing and take her custom elsewhere, she\'s reached out to us and asked for help and guidance. In these situations I\'m more than happy to spend a few minutes going over job ads and to see if I can come up with any constructive feedback.</p>\n<p>So what could I glean from the job ad itself? Firstly, it was a very well-written advertisement with a lot of attention to detail. All the information that a potential applicant would need was there. There were no secrets or hidden agendas.</p>\n<p>The teacher would be working at a large government school in a very rural area of Thailand. The ad even went on to imply that it was a school far from the bright lights of any Thai town or city. The successful applicant would be teaching 23 periods a week from Monday to Friday to mainly teenagers. There would be no weekend work but there would be the occasional request to help with a Saturday half-day student activity (and any teacher who has taught at a government school in Thailand will know that this is par for the course)</p>\n<p>The job ad concluded with a list of benefits - assistance with work permit, accommodation allowance, health insurance, etc, etc - and of course the contact details.</p>\n<p>The salary on offer was a fairly respectable 35,000 baht a month. OK, not a fortune - but for a government school in the proverbial middle of nowhere, certainly not a bad deal either.</p>\n<p>So where was this school going wrong? Why were they having such a difficult time trying to attract teachers?</p>\n<p>I read through the ads and two aspects of the job description caught my eye immediately and I began to get an inkling of where the school\'s recruitment problems might lie.</p>\n<p>In the list of qualifications, the job ad clearly stated;</p>\n<p>a) Teachers must have a minimum of two years teaching experience.<br />b) Teachers must be between 25 and 45 years old.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve been around teacher recruitment in Thailand for as long as I have, then you\'ll know that by insisting on the above requirements, you are narrowing your field down to almost non-existent - if you\'re a government school somewhere out in the boondocks that is.</p>\n<p>Let\'s get the age specification out of the way first. \"Teacher must be between the ages of 25 and 45\"</p>\n<p>Immediately you are ruling out all the &lsquo;gap year students\' - those who have finished university and fancy a year or two teaching English in some exotic country.</p>\n<p>And how many teachers are there looking for full-time work between the age of 46 and retirement age? Well, I don\'t have any figures to hand but it must be an awful lot.</p>\n<p>The problem is - and something your average Thai school recruiter is unaware of - is that teachers of 46 and over generally fall into two categories. Firstly there\'s the person looking for a mid-life career change (I\'ll avoid the expression &lsquo;mid-life crisis) and secondly, the teacher who already has several years of Thailand teaching experience under his or her belt, probably even more - and now possibly has family ties - or married with children so to speak.</p>\n<p>The &lsquo;mid-life career changers\' generally won\'t have the two years of teaching experience necessary to apply for the government school job in question, and the settled-in-Thailand-family-man probably doesn\'t want to uproot his family and move them to a new home in a strange province.</p>\n<p>If we revisit the first requirement - \"teachers must have a minimum of two years teaching experience\" - not only are the mid-life career changers unsuitable but also those under the age of 25.</p>\n<p>Simply put, the school that\'s looking for teachers is being far too fussy. They need to, or rather have to, widen their net a little if they are going to find foreign teaching staff.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back to the nice Thai recruitment lady whose e-mail inspired this article. I asked her directly why she insisted on teachers being not over 45 years of age. I\'m almost 50 years old myself and I hate that feeling of being considered too old and undervalued as much as the next man. Her answer surprised me.</p>\n<p>\"Oh we\'ve employed a lot of teachers in the 45-65 age bracket down the years. It\'s just that we\'ve always been very disappointed with them. Younger teachers just seem to fare better here\"</p>\n<p>She didn\'t go into detail. She didn\'t need to. If hiring older teachers has proved to be a failure for this particular school, then that\'s the way it is.</p>\n<p>So who does this job at the government school really appeal to? I\'ll tell you who it appeals to. It appeals to a young guy in his early twenties. Picture him - young, enthusiastic, ambitious, motivated, eager to do a good job and with a sense of adventure. That\'s the kind of teacher this school is pitching for - whether it likes it or not.</p>\n<p>Oh, but as we\'ve already said - that kind of teacher doesn\'t have two years of teaching experience.</p>\n<p>The penny finally dropped. The recruitment lady realised why her job ads were meeting with such a poor response.</p>\n<p>This is just one isolated recruitment story though. I\'m sure there are thousands of schools the length and breadth of the country in exactly the same boat - wondering why when they whack a job ad up on the internet, the queues of hopeful teachers aren\'t stretching around the block.</p>\n<p>In my opinion, schools need to compile a job ad, take a step back to analyse the content - and ask themselves a question - \"who does my job ad truly appeal to. What teacher demographic?\"</p>\n<p>How much are we paying?<br />Where is my school located?<br />What is the teaching workload per week?<br />Are the basic benefits covered?<br />Will the teacher have to work weekends or on extra-curricular activities?<br />What are other schools and competitors offering?</p>\n<p>The answers to these questions should give recruitment some idea of the demographic they are pitching to. They need to get inside or get familiar with the foreign teacher mindset.</p>\n<p>I\'m not saying it\'s easy for your average Thai recruiter to get into the foreign teacher mindset. Why should it be? The recruiter has probably lived all their life in Thailand and not spent time getting to know foreign teachers and the problems they face when it comes to life in Thailand.</p>\n<p>But if they were to take the time to scrutinize the TEFL recruitment field more closely (a lot more closely than they do now) I think it would go a long way to easing their teacher hiring headaches.</p>\n</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/help.jpg','2013-05-18 01:09:55',1,'2013-05-18 01:09:55','2013-05-18 15:03:56'),(14742,20,'21st century education','21st-century-education','A new and exciting approach to teaching','There has been much debate about exactly what a 21st century education should look like with academics producing long-winded articles packed full with migraine-inducing jargon... but not a lot of change has actually taken place in the classroom.','<p>It seems that as each new school year rolls around there is an accompanying education trend that promises to revolutionize teaching. Over the years we\'ve seen brain-based learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, game-based learning, child-centered learning, student-centered learning....the list is endless.</p>\n<p>And no sooner has one approach been accepted and implemented than some other group of academics have picked the theory to shreds and called for a return to traditional learning. And it\'s not just the ESL World that is subject to this merry-go-round. In the UK, the Education Secretary, Michael \'U-Turn\' Gove, has been at loggerheads with educators over a wide range of policies to raise education standards by; scrapping coursework, scrapping GCSEs, introducing longer teaching days, shorter holidays, a greater emphasis on rote learning and a return to the educational philosophies of the 1950s.</p>\n<p>But while some politicians and academics seem intent on change for the sake of change, most educators would agree that there is a serious need to re-evaluate today\'s education systems. The actual structure of the modern education system has changed little since its conception during the industrial revolution of the 19th century. We live in a world that is rapidly transforming and our students deserve an education system that is relevant to the 21st century.</p>\n<p>There has been much debate about exactly what a 21st century education should look like with academics producing long-winded articles packed full with migraine-inducing jargon... but not a lot of change has actually taken place in the classroom. The sad fact is that much of what is happening in the classroom today is no different to what has been happening for the past 50 years.</p>\n<p>According to some educators, sociologists and economists, the challenges that today\'s students will encounter after they graduate include -<br />+ Many of the skills they are learning in school today will be obsolete by the time they graduate<br />+ Many of today\'s students will have over 5 different careers during their lifetime<br />+ Many of the occupations that our students will have are yet to be invented</p>\n<p><strong>So how can we as educators prepare our students for a world we are unable to envision</strong>?</p>\n<p>Clearly this is a question that cannot be answered overnight. So I hope you can forgive my skepticism when the director of the school at which I work, Ajarn Varee Patravanich, introduced me to a 21st century framework which she believed would go some way to tackling these critical issues.</p>\n<p>Well, the first thing I noticed was that this was an education framework developed by an American organization called 21st Century Partnership made up of academics, policy makers and prominent members of the business community. Now the idea of these collaborations between multinational companies and education policy makers generally fill me with dread ... some kind of Orwellian nightmare in which schools create fodder to feed an insatiable capitalist machine. So you can imagine my surprise (and relief) on discovering this 21st Century Framework is not only clear and concise but it actually makes good common sense.</p>\n<p>This 21st Century Framework can be summarized in a beautifully simple way.<br />Today\'s learners need to develop the 3Rs + the 4Cs</p>\n<p><strong><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/Framework.jpg\" /></strong></p>\n<p><strong>The 3Rs - Reading, Writing &amp; Arithmetic</strong></p>\n<p>These have been central to education all though the 19th and 20th Century. In this Framework the 3Rs include all core subject knowledge, thus reinforcing traditional education.</p>\n<p><strong>The 4Cs - Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration &amp; Creativity</strong></p>\n<p>When I first read these 4Cs I have to admit I was surprised.... I wasn\'t expecting such great common sense. I mean these are educational concepts from the dawn of Western education. The type of skills Socrates challenged his young student Plato to develop in the 4th Century B.C. And it\'s not just the Great Greek Thinkers that valued these skills. Other great thinkers from Rousseau to Chomsky have argued that education should place a greater value on creativity and critical thinking.</p>\n<p>Leaving behind the world\'s great thinkers and moving forward to Thailand in the 21st century, lets consider why these skills are so important. Well firstly, how many people do you meet on a regular basis that make a living on their core subject knowledge alone? A far greater number of people rely on their ability to communicate, create, work in teams and solve problems. These are skills which have no \'sell by date\' and from which our students can benefit.</p>\n<p>So this 21st Century Framework is clear, concise, makes sense and it\'s nicely packaged...this is beginning to sound too good to be true. The question now is how will it fare in classrooms across Thailand?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/development.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Well at Varee Chiangmai School were I work, it has made a promising start. The concept received a warm reception from over 40 English Teachers during a recent professional development workshop. Many of the teachers explained that developing these 4Cs is good teaching practice which teachers should already be doing.</p>\n<p>Other teachers made the point that in Thailand where individual assessments and quantifiable scores are constantly demanded by parents, administrators and the MoE some juggling (and creative thinking) was going to be required on the part of the teachers.</p>\n<p>One thing that I personally like about this approach is that regardless of whether or not your school adopts it, you can as teachers in the classroom help your students develop these vital skills through projects, activities, group work and student-centered learning. It\'s something that you can adopt today to help your students prepare for the world of tomorrow and surely that\'s a good reason in itself....</p>\n<p>If you want to know more about 21st Century Education, I suggest you <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U\">watch this video</a>&nbsp;and also pay a&nbsp;visit to the <a href=\"http://www.p21.org/\">21st Century Skills website</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2013-05-20 21:35:50',1,'2013-05-20 21:35:50','2013-05-27 11:11:51'),(14744,71,'Back to reality','back-to-reality','The new school term starts - and not without problems','Much of this blog may sound negative (and to some extent, it is), but in all honestly, it\'s par for the course.

Back to reality. And by reality, I mean scheduling issues, visa troubles, and other generally Thai school dilemmas. It will take a while to get re-acclimatised to structure (or lack thereof) after having reign of my own schedule for the last month-ish.<br />Well, I say month. Actually, my school had me do two different summer schools: the first was an English camp three weeks long right after school ended. It was relatively fun, short (two hours per day plus activities in the afternoon some days), and I got to visit Safari World with the students (<a href=\"/blogs/sam-thompson/a-thai-field-trip/\">see an earlier blog&nbsp;entry</a>).</p>\n<p>The second lasted two weeks, and was meant to&nbsp;help Mathayom 1 students get used&nbsp;to life in a high school. It was also fairly fun, only four hours per day, and neat to get to know the new students. However, typical of a Thai school, on the last day of the program, the day of the test, we found out that everything we taught them (English) and the tests we wrote for them to take for their M1 class placement was for nothing; the Thai teachers decided to give them their own test instead of ours.</p>\n<p>I have no idea what was on that test, but I can guarantee I didn\'t teach any of it. All they had to do was tell us this up front and we could have taught whatever they needed to learn, but as is common in Thai schools, that didn\'t happen.</p>\n<p>If my students learned how to pronounce the letters R, L, and V correctly, I still feel accomplished. I drilled it in them enough that they ought to remember. Still, it will probably look to the administrators like I am a terrible teacher; all of the students likely failed.</p>\n<p>Another frustrating issue that comes with working in a Thai school: I was assured by multiple people at the school at multiple times that I would have the paperwork needed to change my entry-on-arrival tourist visa into a non-immigrant B visa before my tourist visa expired. Of course, this ended up not happening, so now I have to go all the way to Laos again to get another visa, and will miss the first week of school to do it. Naturally.&nbsp;Again, a lack of communication.</p>\n<p>If I was just told up front that this would be the case, I would have taken care of the visa situation before coming back. But now, I have to spend 8,000 baht to get another visa and miss school to do so. Typical.</p>\n<p>One positive note here: I did get observed by a panel of ten administrators and teachers during one of my summer school classes teaching English (keeping in mind that I typically teach science), and they seemed impressed. So that\'s good. My science department head later told me, in broken English, that she wants to learn English with me. So, even among all of the ridiculousness, there are little things that make it worth all the hassle.</p>\n<p>We found out our schedules a day prior to the semester starting this term! I\'m highly impressed; last term, we didn\'t have a schedule until two days into the semester.</p>\n<p>Much of this may sound negative (and to some extent, it is), but in all honestly, it\'s par for the course. I love Thailand, and generally speaking, I love teaching in my Thai school. Even so, there are little things that crop up all of the time, and you just have to take them in your&nbsp;stride. Why worry, right?

Does this detract from the city in the form of character and beauty? That of course is a matter open to debate.\n\n','<p>Like all cities around the world, and particularly all major large cities, Bangkok is totally dynamic and constantly in a state of construction and demolition. Like a giant Sim-City metropolis, Bangkok is constantly reinventing itself to keep up with the demands of progress, both in Thailand and internationally.</p>\n<p>As someone who comes from an old-world country, the United Kingdom, I\'m still impressed and astounded by the pace of development that occurs in a city like Bangkok. Yes we live here all the time and so sometimes we even get frustrated that the city is not being developed fast enough to keep up with the rate of social and economic change that the modern world demands, and I would agree with you to a point, especially in regards to public sector development, but more about that later on. However in the private sector the changes are close to breathtaking.</p>\n<p>As mentioned, I come from the UK, where it is normal for our cities and towns to have regularly used buildings that are hundreds of years old. In fact such buildings often have a preservation order on them so that not only can they not be pulled-down, but also their exteriors or interiors cannot be altered. In fact I remember visiting Chester, a quite historic city and an old economic hub of the Roman Empire, having dozens and dozens of buildings 1000 years old or older. The cathedral, the Roman walls, and even an early shopping mall called the Rows which dates back to the 1300\'s over 700 years ago! These buildings&nbsp;have been&nbsp;rescued&nbsp;from dereliction and are in regular us today and even house thriving businesses.</p>\n<p>Of course this makes for an attractive and very interesting city, but of course the downside is that it reduces and even halts progress, which is not really a problem Bangkok faces.</p>\n<p>Like many SE Asian cities, apart from religious monuments such as temples and a few other buildings, there is a virtual free-for-all on development, and very little in the way of protection and preservation. Does this detract from the city in the form of character and beauty? That of course is a matter open to debate.</p>\n<p>So with very little rules and regulations on building codes, a Bangkok developer can almost do what they want and therefore build what they want assuming they have the money to do so. The result is that we see some very interesting styles, dramatic buildings and of course huge buildings. Bangkok for example boasts not only the largest shopping mall in SE Asia in Central World in Chit Lom, but also the second largest at the next door station in The Paragon at Siam.</p>\n<p>And this is even more so with regards to condos and apartments in Bangkok. With the opening of the new BTS stations from On Nut to Bearing in August 2011 has come an almost never ending stream of new condos and apartments build next to the 5 new BTS stations opened. <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/s--s-condo-udomsuk-2351\">Condos such as S &amp; S Condo<br /></a>which consists of 2 huge towers with over 800 condominium units housed inside. But of course this building is far from rare and buildings of this size are becoming regular and can even contain added features such as shopping malls, supermarkets and even bowling alleys.</p>\n<p>The design of these residential buildings has also changed and with it the aesthetics. Going back 40-50 years ago much of Bangkok was made up of wooden buildings and the initial use of concrete to replace the wooden structures was often unsuitable to the climate. Heavy thick concrete walls with small windows may have been suitable designs for Europe or North America, where a lot of the early architects and architectural influences came from. Such designs are perfect for keeping out cold wet weather and keeping in warm expensive air. But Bangkok has none of those problems, in fact quite the opposite.</p>\n<p>Therefore in recent years, especially since the late 1990\'s there has been an increasing movement to design and build structures with lots of glass, and as little amount of thick concrete as possible. You may notice then that <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/athenee-residence-ploenchit-2338\">condos such as the Athenee Residence</a> has floor to ceiling glass windows in many of the rooms, typical of the style many architects are aiming for.</p>\n<p>Of course not all Bangkok residents think that the progress is fast enough and when it comes to public transport it is clear that Bangkok run by the BMA is not yet at the stage it could be or should be. London for example has 8 million inhabitants, but a metro system with approx 270 stations on it. Bangkok has a population of between 12-15m (depending on which statistics you read), but only approx 50 stations on the metro system.</p>\n<p>However the London Underground is 150 years old, it has had time to develop and expand, Bangkok first opened up the BTS back in 1999, so the 50 stations on the metro system have all been opened in under 15 years, less than 10% of the time. And just looking at the last 8 years since we opened EasyHomes, the metro system has expanded quite considerably since we first launched <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/bts-search\">this search map of the BTS/MRT</a> we have added the airport link and 11 more stations. I can only imagine what this map will look like in 8 years time with the Purple, Red, Pink and Yellow lines under construction.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

The most memorable part of the video, is, of course, the now famous \"invisible horse dance.\"</p>\n<p>Although PSY\'s single &lsquo;Gangnam Style\' was released in July of 2012, the music video went viral during my first few weeks in Asia.

But, after six months in it, I decided it\'s time for me to grow up and be a real boy... and get a real boy pad.\n','<p>Since November, I have been living in a Thai university student dormitory near Sripitum University. I\'ve had my own small (maybe 12 square meter) studio with whitewashed walls, a tiny balcony, and a basic bathroom. The place certainly wasn\'t bad for the price; thumbprint security, laundromat downstairs, cheap street food and a 7/11 downstairs, and a ten minute walk from my school... all for 4,500 baht plus utilities per month. But, after six months in it, I decided it\'s time for me to grow up and be a real boy... and get a real boy pad.</p>\n<p>I looked around for a few weeks prior to finally settling on a spot. I checked out several Thai and foreigner-geared places around Mo Chit BTS and Phohon Yothin MRT stop (near my school). My criteria was thus: a separate bedroom, hot water (yes, hot water), proximity to the MRT or BTS (fifteen minute walk or less), and a pool. That last item booted out a lot of options.</p>\n<p>My price range was 10,000 baht per month to 14,000 baht per month, but including utilities I really didn\'t (and don\'t) want to exceed 15,000 baht per month. Granted, in Bangkok, that is a small fortune; it\'s literally half of many teachers\' salaries. But, life is what you want out of it, and at this point in my life, I want to have somewhere I actually enjoy coming home to. To each his own, right?</p>\n<p>I looked online at sites such as ddproperty.com and easyhomes.tv (formerly mrroomfinder.com) just to get an idea of what I could get for my money, and called and set up appointments to visit several. As with most things in Thailand, it pays to bring a Thai person with you. This helps with the almost always present language barrier, but you also will get a better deal with a Thai present. That\'s just the way it is here, and since I\'m allowed to live in this beautiful country, it\'s something I can deal with.</p>\n<p>I eventually looked (by myself, mostly) at about ten different apartments/condos. I\'ve done my fair share of moving - I counted 7 times in the last two years alone - and I\'ve found that you\'re best off with any place you go to that you get \"a good feeling\" about as soon as you open the door. That\'s what I ended up doing.<br />I chose one of the Lumpini Place properties that fit all of my criteria (although a bit farther from the MRT/BTS than I wanted, but still walkable), but I mainly chose it because it \"felt right.\" Don\'t ask.</p>\n<p>The rent is 12,000 baht per month plus utilities, but luckily electricity is billed according to the government rate, so it is far cheaper than I was paying before. My first month\'s bill was 980 baht, which included using a LOT of electricity (a friend stayed for three weeks). I paid more than that for my little jail cell room using almost no electricity! My first two months\' water bill was 45 baht. Not too shabby!</p>\n<p>I could probably have gotten the same style apartment for about 1,000 baht less per month if I went directly through an owner rather than the little leasing agency in the property management office, but I like that if I need anything (such as losing building entry card keys as I\'ve already done), they are there every day.</p>\n<p>My condo is only about 30 square meters, and it\'s not much... but it\'s new, furnished, has two air conditioners and hot water, a flat screen TV, has plenty of light, a wonderful pool/gym/sauna that not many people seem to use, laundry (and laundry service) and water dispensers downstairs, full-time security, mailboxes (unlike my last place)... AND, it\'s right across the street from a cinema and countless restaurants and shopping. For me, especially considering I moved from what I can only call a jail cell, it is amazing.</p>\n<p>I love that I have an actual living room now, which allows me to have guests over. And, if friends come to visit, they have a place to stay! Best of all: I can cook again! I haven\'t had cooking abilities nor a refrigerator for over six months. It\'s the little things, eh?</p>\n<p>I\'ve been there about a month, and I\'m still happy. It\'s nice to have a place that you actually WANT to come home to. Having a pool to jump in directly after school helps too. Granted, where I was staying before was perfect for what I wanted at the time. But I didn\'t want to live like a college kid forever.</p>','','2013-06-04 01:15:38',1,'2013-06-04 01:15:38','2013-06-04 15:03:39'),(14792,21,'Fashion redux','fashion-redux','Fashion tips for the female EFL teacher','What to wear and what not to wear in the classroom. A guide for lady teachers.','<p>In honour of the <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/the-teacher-fashion-guide/\">blog offering fashion advice for men</a>, in response to the many comments on that article from women asking for a fashion article geared for women, and because I kinda like clothes, here is a fashion article geared towards EFL teachers of the female persuasion.</p>\n<p>Before I get into the meat of the article, full disclosure, I have never actually worked in Thailand, so I\'m not 100% sure that my advice is relevant to Thailand. However, having worked in Korea, Kuwait, Mongolia, and Myanmar as a teacher, I feel that I am at least somewhat qualified to offer advice to women working as EFL teachers in Asia and unsure of what to wear. Let\'s get started:</p>\n<p><strong>Shirts</strong>:</p>\n<p>As a woman, I think you can get away with fashions that men can\'t get away with (in the fashion tips for men blog post, short sleeve dress shirts are discouraged, whereas a short-sleeve blouse for women is not only encouraged but in fact super cute).</p>\n<p>Also, for women, it\'s not necessary to stick exclusively to button-up blouses (unless your school has a very strict dress code for teachers). You can have a little fun with your shirt; you can even get away with wearing a t-shirt as long as it\'s \"classy\" (i.e. plain, in a classic colour, and with no printing or slogans on it).</p>\n<p>One thing to be aware of is that, despite however hot it might be outside, tank tops are viewed as unprofessional and even considered pretty revealing in many parts of Asia.</p>\n<p>In Korea, even though women walking around in skirts so short they barely cover their lady bits are still considered completely office-appropriate, if you wear a nice tank top with a pair of trousers, that is just slut-tastic. And I don\'t think this is specific to Korea, either.</p>\n<p>When I first moved to Myanmar, I was dressing for work in a manner which I had thought was appropriate for school, but after a few weeks, one of my superiors came to my office to have an awkward conversation concerning my clothes. Apparently everything I was wearing into work was inappropriate. I was quite shocked, as the exact same clothes had been appropriate for work in Kuwait, a place where many ladies cover from the top of their heads all the way to their toes.</p>\n<p>Seeing as I\'m aware of how showing your shoulders is viewed in Asia, the outfits in question involved dresses which reached to my mid-calves or down to my ankles and thin spaghetti straps at the top which I covered with a cardigan so I was showing a minimal amount of skin. This was still apparently too risqu&eacute; for Myanmar.</p>\n<p>I guess that, even though my d&eacute;colletage was by no means plunging or overexposed, it was still too much. Moral of the story: keep your shoulders covered and choose shirts that keep you covered up to your collarbone or higher.</p>\n<p><strong>Sweaters and Cardigans</strong>:</p>\n<p>This probably goes against every ounce of common sense you have. Thailand is sweltering; who in their right mind would suggest wearing a sweater or cardigan in such a hot place? Me. I think the concept of layering your clothes is the Spaghetti Monster\'s gift to getting dressed.</p>\n<p>In such a hot climate, you will be in out of air-conditioned environments all day long. Outside it may be stifling hot, but inside might be downright chilly. Not keeping a regular body temperature is a great way to get a cold.</p>\n<p>One way to fight off the air conditioner is to carry a sweater or cardigan in your bag. Cardigans are also great for the modesty factor when you need to cover up bare shoulders and I think a nice cardigan makes any outfit seem even classier.</p>\n<p>Another good use for a cardigan is that if you get a stain on your shirt, a cardigan will cover it up until you can get home to change.</p>\n<p>Cardigans are truly a multipurpose tool for women. Just today, I found a tiny, filthy, frightened, sick, injured kitten on the side of the road. I knew if I just kept walking, it would certainly die, but I didn\'t necessarily want to touch it with my own hands because it was so dirty, so I took my cardigan out of my bag and scooped up the kitten. See? There are all kinds of uses for cardigans!</p>\n<p>Since you do live in a hot climate, you don\'t need to go for thick or heavy sweaters or cardigans; all you need is a nice, simple, lightweight cotton or cashmere sweater or cardigan. I got some really nice lightweight cotton/silk/cashmere blend sweaters from UniQlo once for a song, and I found some long-fibre cotton cardigans at Gap another time (the length of the fibre makes the cotton feel extra soft, and I think extra soft materials feel cooler against my skin).</p>\n<p>If you choose nice quality lightweight sweaters and cardigans, you really don\'t have to wear them all day long, as they take up minimal space in your bag and (if the fabric is a decent quality) they tend not to wrinkle, so they\'re easy to carry around and will still look great when you retrieve them from the depths of your bag.</p>\n<p><strong>Trousers</strong>:</p>\n<p>Phil\'s advice for the men-folk is such good advice, generally, that I\'m just going to copy and paste it here:</p>\n<p>Always go for dark colours like navy blue and you can\'t go wrong. Cream and beige trousers might look very nice in tropical climates but you\'d be amazed how quickly board marker ink can transfer from a whiteboard to a trouser pocket.</p>\n<p>Avoid wearing trousers more than three days running. Letting trousers have a day off and &lsquo;hang\' on the hanger allows them to regain their shape and you\'ll avoid the &lsquo;shiny-arse\' syndrome.</p>\n<p>The range of trousers in Thai department stores these days has improved a lot and I actually think you get much better value for money buying off-the-peg trousers compared to having them made at a tailor\'s shop. Tailored clothing is not the bargain it once was.</p>\n<p>The one massive disadvantage of buying trousers from a department store is if you need them altered and taken up an inch or two. Most department store staff have never heard of &lsquo;invisible stitching\' and I could cry when I think of some of the &lsquo;dog\'s dinners\' I\'ve had presented to me in the name of trouser alterations.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve got time on your hands, buy the trousers and seek out one of those roadside sewing machinists. They\'ll do a much better job.</p>\n<p><strong>Dresses and Skirts</strong>:</p>\n<p>I think these are acceptable attire for the classroom, so long as you keep them classy and don\'t look hoochy. This means nothing too tight, nothing sheer, nothing too short, and covering up on top with a cute cardigan or bolero. It is better to err on the side of caution with regard to length and choose knee-length skirts or longer.</p>\n<p>Even if you see Asian women dressed in super cute super short dresses and skirts, as foreigners, we tend to be judged without mercy and are not able to get away with the hem length that many Asian women get away with. It\'s a double-standard, sure, but you just have to roll with it. With regard to your hem-length, don\'t give anyone a chance to get all judgy at you.</p>\n<p>Hot climate pro-tip: a long, loose, flowing dress made out of lightweight cotton is another gift from the Spaghetti Monster to women living in hot climates. You wear a long, loose, flowing, lightweight dress, and it feels like you are completely naked, even though you\'re fully adhering to the modesty factor.</p>\n<p><strong>Shoes</strong>:</p>\n<p>My confession du jour is that I simply do not wear closed-toed shoes whilst living in a hot climate. I wear flip flops and that\'s all there is to it. Once in Kuwait, my school sent a memo around reminding us that flip flops were strictly beach attire and that as we were professionals, we were meant to wear shoes at work. My response was, \"But! They\'re dressy flip flops!\"</p>\n<p>Fortunately, here in Burmaland, flip flops are standard footwear and nobody bats an eye at me at work in my flip flops. I think my flip flop lines are permanently tanned onto my feet.</p>\n<p>If your school holds you to a higher standard (or if you hold yourself to a higher standard), at least do yourself a favour and remember that, as a teacher, you will likely be on your feet for much of the day. Heels are works of art and the Spaghetti Monster\'s gift to a woman\'s leg, but they are not a great footwear choice for someone who has to be on her feet for most of the day.</p>\n<p>Heels are actually really bad for you, as they shorten the, idon\'tknow, Achilles tendon, so if you must wear heels, you should plan on wearing them for as short a period of time as possible.</p>\n<p>For work as a teacher, if you\'re set on wearing closed-toed shoes, choose something comfortable and flat like some cute ballerina flats or, depending on how casual you can get away with going, maybe some Toms shoes* or some Sanuks. Oh! And a little shoe-care tip: shoes are not meant to be worn two days in a row. You should allow your shoes to air out for at least one day between wearings.</p>\n<p>I have definitely found plenty of cute shoes in both Thailand and Korea. Full disclosure: even though I wear nothing but flip flops every day, I have a massive weakness for shoes, and the closet in my room in my parents\' house back home is full of heels which I\'ve acquired over the years. There might also be a few more boxes full of shoes in storage in Canada, too.</p>\n<p>Shoes are beautiful things, and you simply have to love them, and Asia is a perfect place to find all kinds of dainty, feminine, beautiful, unique heels.</p>\n<p><strong>Vests / Undershirts / Undergarments</strong>:</p>\n<p>I\'m with Phil here that wearing some sort of undergarment beneath your clothes is a wise idea. Here\'s what Phil had to say on the matter in his original post:</p>\n<p>Wearing some sort of undergarment beneath your long-sleeved shirt is always a very wise idea. People seem to think that wearing another layer under your business shirt is going to make you sweat even more but in reality, an undergarment of some cotton description actually keeps you cooler. And of course you avoid those horrible armpit sweat patches. The teacher arriving for a lesson dripping in sweat wins admiration from no-one, regardless of where the taxi or bus broke down and whatever the temperature might be outside.</p>\n<p>I always have on at least two layers: a cotton tank top (cotton is breathable and keeps your skin feeling cool) and the shirt that people are actually meant to see over top of it. If I\'m in an air-conditioned environment, I\'ll add a third layer: my sweater or cardigan.</p>\n<p>One final undergarment tip for the ladies: it\'s cotton\'s breathability which makes it such a winning choice as an undergarment, and when choosing a garment that will stick directly to your special lady bits all day long, you really do want to choose a garment which will best allow you to breathe.</p>\n<p>If you choose non-cotton panties, you run the risk of trapping moisture down there, which could lead to thrush, which is certainly no picnic. Uh, not that I\'d have any experience with that.</p>\n<p>And bras. If I\'m going to have a piece of clothing stuck to my body all day long which is wet for a good chunk of the day, it is somehow just so much more comfortable if it is cotton.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Belts, Bags, and Accessories</strong>:</p>\n<p>In the comments on the original fashion article, someone mentioned that if you buy your pants the correct size, then you have no need for a belt. While this is true, strictly speaking, wearing a belt makes your look seem so much more finished and professional, and in a place where you are often hired based as much on your looks (if not more) as you are based on your actual skill set, looking as polished and professional as possible is certainly not a bad thing.</p>\n<p>I\'m more of a brown person, myself, but if you only have the money to buy one nice belt (belts are surprisingly not cheap), invest in a nice black belt to start with.</p>\n<p>Ladies, you can use your belt to accentuate your waist or even to create a waist if you\'re a little thicker around the middle. Quality belts can make cheap clothes look more expensive. I was once invited to an ambassador\'s party. I wore a sleeveless floral dress which I had bought for 100 baht on Khao San Road and paired it with a cute brown leather belt from H&amp;M at my natural waist, some nude pumps from Aldo, and a little pink cardigan from Forever 21 and I got tonnes of compliments on my outfit, even though no part of my outfit was even remotely expensive.</p>\n<p>Bags are pretty much my favourite things ever (they\'re tied with shoes and scarves for favourite things). Just like belts, when buying a bag, you should look for quality leather. A good bag can make cheap clothes look more special.</p>\n<p>As a woman, I don\'t think we have quite the same bag conundrum to deal with as the men-folk have to deal with. I carry around a large leather bag and if I have important documents which I need to put in the bag, I\'ll either slip them in a clear folder (especially if I know I\'ll need to remove it from my bag in front of people who I\'m trying to impress) or, in a pinch, I\'ll slip the documents in the middle of a magazine to keep them from crinkling. I do not like to carry around a leather bag when it is raining, however. For the rainy season, I invest in one or two cute canvas totes.</p>\n<p>I firmly believe that you should not go overboard on accessories. I used to avoid them entirely, but then I started reading a few books on fashion (it was a new year\'s resolution one year to start dressing better) and I read that you get treated better when you are wearing accessories because of the history behind wearing accessories (they were talismans or something like that).</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure 100% that I agree that I get treated better when I\'m wearing accessories, but they are pretty darn fun. I really try not to go overboard, though. If I\'m wearing a ring, I will not wear a bracelet. If I\'m wearing a statement necklace, I will not wearing earrings (and possibly not a bracelet, either).</p>\n<p>I think the key to accessorising is proportion, which can be a tricky thing to get right. But living in Asia, you\'ve gotta fall in love with accessories. You can hardly walk down the street without spotting something cute on offer from a street vendor. Some of my favourite jewellery was found by chance on the sidewalk from random street vendors. Oh, and if you\'re based in Bangkok, as tacky as the shop name is, Pink Pussy is pretty much the greatest thing ever.</p>\n<h3>Grooming</h3>\n<p><strong>Hair</strong>:</p>\n<p>Take a cue from the local women. It would be reasonable to keep your hair in a similar style. Generally, if you have long hair, it\'s best to keep it styled nicely and/or tied back. Keep hair off your face, unless a (well-kept) fringe is part of your hairstyle.</p>\n<p>Asia is simultaneously an amazing and terrifying place to experiment with your hair. It\'s amazing because prices are way cheaper here than they are back home and there are services on offer that are really difficult to find back home (magic straight perm, anyone?), but it\'s also terrifying because some hairdressers here in Asia do not speak English and/or do not have experience working with Western hair and really don\'t know how to deal with it.</p>\n<p>I got my first ever she-mullet in Asia. And my second one, too. And my third one. However, hallelujah, I have finally found a hairdresser who I trust completely. He works in Central World, he speaks English, he insults me and my hair nonstop, and I think he\'s just delightful. Oh, and he gave me one of the best haircuts I\'ve ever had in my life.</p>\n<p>It is no exaggeration when I say that, making my pros and cons list of staying in Southeast Asia versus leaving Southeast Asia, this guy is way high up on the pros list.</p>\n<p>As far as styling hair, my hair is extremely mischievous and refuses to stay flat and sleek all day long (whivh is how I would prefer it). No matter how much time I spend passing over my hair with the flat iron, my hair goes pouffy, fluffy, wavy, and frizzy the second I step out my door.</p>\n<p>Therefore, in hot humid climates, my hairstyle of choice is a simple ponytail at the nape of my neck. If I need to do something fancier, I make a low ponytail, I backcomb the shit out of my hair, and I pin it into a big messy (but classy) bun. If you want to go a little more feminine or if you have a little more talent when it comes to styling your own hair, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/THEFACESHOPMYANMAR\">check out the Faceshop Myanmar\'s facebook page</a>. They often post cute ideas of easy ways to style your hair, like this:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/hair1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>And this:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/hair2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>One more caveat about hair is that Asians tend to be more conservative.</p>\n<p>Resist the urge to dye your hair an unusual colour. If you simply must colour your hair, choose a colour which is a plausible natural colour. And if you are starting to go grey, you should definitely consider covering up those greys. In Asia, appearance is of the utmost importance, especially when it comes to gaining employment.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind that you are often hired based as much on your appearance on your actual skills, so you should do what it takes to make the absolute most of your appearance. I had one friend in Korea, a drop-dead gorgeous brunette, but she kept her hair dyed blond because she knew that Koreans preferred girls with blond hair, and that having blond hair helped her get more, better-paying, private lessons.</p>\n<p><strong>Hands, Feet, and Nails</strong>:</p>\n<p>This advice is actually hypocritical coming from me, as I\'ve only ever had one manicure in my entire life and I\'ve never had a pedicure, but manis and pedis are way cheap in Thailand, and you should take advantage of that in order to keep your hands looking presentable (and your feet, too, if you wear sandals often).</p>\n<p>If you\'re a plain jane like me, though, as long as your nails are trimmed, filed, and clean, I think you\'re good to go.</p>\n<p><strong>Skincare and Makeup</strong>:</p>\n<p>The Koreans and Japanese are on top of it. BB Cream-gotta love it, right? Invented in Korea! All kinds of good products are coming out of this part of the world, and you should make the most out of it while you\'re here. Think of yourself as a cultural anthropologist, trying to understand the culture a little better.</p>\n<p>There is a reason that so many amazing skincare products are sprouting up in Asia, and it\'s something of a recurring theme in this article: appearance is very important to Asians.</p>\n<p>By taking an interest in your own appearance, you\'re taking steps to fit into the culture. Another reason to dive in and try the new beauty products which keep popping up everywhere: back home, those same products are both highly coveted and super expensive, but here, they\'re just everyday things and fairly inexpensive.</p>\n<p>A prime example is BB Cream. It\'s pretty standard in a woman\'s beauty routine nowadays, I think, and it\'s not too expensive to pick up some good BB Cream here and (here\'s the kicker) the quality of the BB Cream which you\'ll find here in Asia is generally much better than the quality of the BB Cream which you\'ll get back home.</p>\n<p>And of course it\'s fun to walk into the beauty supply stores and play around with all the various samplers. In this section I\'ve referenced Korean cosmetics companies quite a bit for a few reasons: (1) I lived in Korea for three years so I\'m more familiar with them, (2) I\'ve never lived in Thailand, so I\'m not familiar with any Thai brands, and (3) Korean cosmetics are definitely available in Bangkok.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Your skincare regimen should involve cleansing, toning, and moisturising in both the morning and the evening. Also consider using an exfoliating scrub once or twice a week. And don\'t forget that skincare extends past your face. In a place as hot as Thailand, you might want to start and finish every day with a shower to clean off dirt, grime, and sweat. There are all kinds of scrubs and cleansers on the market designed for the body.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to sound vain here or anything, but I don\'t feel like I need to wear makeup, so I don\'t wear any makeup. It\'s not that I think I\'m super beautiful (I\'m actually not beautiful), but I just like myself the way I am and I don\'t like the way makeup feels on my skin, especially in a hot climate.</p>\n<p>That\'s probably why skincare is so uber-important to me: if you are going to present a blank canvas to the world, that blank canvas had better be pristine. That having been said, I had a student in Korea tell me once that it is considered rude not to wear makeup to work. It is rare to have an Asian be that blunt about something, so when it happens, you should value the advice.</p>\n<p>So, fellow female teachers, consider investing in some tasteful makeup if you don\'t already own some. You do not want to end up looking like a ladyboy out on the prowl at night, but at the same time, you do want it to come across that you do put effort into your appearance. In a (potential) employer\'s eyes, this could be interpreted as you will put more effort into the job.</p>\n<p><strong>Teeth</strong>:</p>\n<p>Keep your teeth clean. And please floss them. People can see and smell the difference when you floss your teeth regularly.</p>\n<p>If you have other dental problems, you might want to consider getting them fixed up for cheap as long as you\'re living in the Land of the business of Smiles. Dentists are everywhere and, compared to back home, their services are extremely inexpensive.</p>\n<p>Popular services on offer are cleaning and whitening, but you could also have more intense dental work done like crowns or veneers, and you would still save a pretty penny compared to what you would have to pay in the West.</p>\n<p><strong>Diet and Exercise</strong>:</p>\n<p>I think that to an extent, as long as you are obviously farang, you will always appear chubby in an Asian person\'s eyes, no matter how not chubby you actually are.</p>\n<p>However, you can minimise the extent to which you are viewed as chubby by giving a fuck about your diet and exercise regimen. Yes, it\'s tempting to live on nothing but burgers and pizza and beer (please someone affirm that I am not the only one who fights this temptation regularly), but by watching your diet, drinking plenty of water, and getting exercise at least somewhat regularly, you will feel better, you\'ll have more energy, your skin will look clearer and brighter, and your clothes will fit you better.</p>\n<p>What is not to love about all of that, especially in a part of the world where your appearance is constantly being appraised?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>The above fashion guide for female EFL teachers was written for ajarn.com&nbsp;by <strong>Marguerite Anne Tremel</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/fashion_guide_women.jpg','2016-11-15 23:03:21',1,'2016-11-15 23:03:21','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(14800,76,'A chicken nugget story','a-chicken-nugget-story','An interesting twist on a classic Thai dish','I had a craving the other day for Chicken McNuggets but, given that I would have to take a 1.5 hour flight in order to satisfy that craving, I had to make my own.

Every bite is a big little explosion of flavour in your mouth.</p>\n<p>Well, my friend, having lived in Korea for Spaghetti-Monster-knows-how-long, asked for a picture. And, you know, even though I\'ve lived in Asia for a full QUARTER of my life*, I still have not developed the habit of taking photos of every morsel of food that I put into my mouth. So I promised that the next time I made my super special chicken nuggets, I would take a picture for him, which is exactly what I\'ve done here. In fact, I took several photos of the whole dang process, and I\'ve decided to share it as a recipe blog post with photos because I think these nuggets are so dang good that everyone should be able to have them.</p>\n<p>Not to get all hipster on y\'all, but the preparation and cooking time for this recipe from start to finish is exactly all of City and Colour\'s 2008 \"Bring Me Your Love\" album from beginning to end.</p>\n<p>*I am still in shock after the realisation that I have spent a quarter of my life in Asia. If my life were a pie chart, time spent in Asia would be a full quarter of that pie: a delicious kimchi- and keffir lime-flavoured slice of pie.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget1.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>You will need 500 grams of minced chicken, one egg, 8-12 keffir lime leaves, a handful of green beans, one teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, and a very generous tablespoon of Thai red curry paste.</p>\n<p>Interesting fun fact #1: The original recipe which my Thai friend taught me was for Thai fish cakes. Instead of minced chicken, you\'re supposed to use minced fish. I don\'t have a food processor at the moment, so I can\'t make my own minced fish, and explaining to the girls at the meat and fish counter in my local supermarket that I want minced fish is more trouble than I\'m keen to put myself through. I used minced chicken (a) because I wanted chicken nuggets and (b) to avoid the frustrating experience of having to mime to a non-English speaker the concept of minced fish. BUT, if you ever feel inclined to make Thai fish cakes, there you have it, now you know what to do: substitute fish in for chicken.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Finely slice the green beans in rounds. Roll up the keffir lime leaves lengthwise and cut them into very fine strips with some scissors. Lightly beat the egg.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Mix all the ingredients together extremely well. At this point in the process, I was singing along (loudly) to Body in a Box, which is the song which was playing on my City and Colour album at that point. If you feel the urge to sing as loudly as possible during the food preparation process and, if you\'re like me and use your mixing spoon as a makeshift microphone, if what your mixing spoon happens to be coated in is raw minced chicken, RESIST the impulse to lick the spoon. It is definitely not a good idea.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Shape the minced chicken mixture into nugget shapes. Make sure your hands are wet. If your hands are dry, the chicken will stick to your hands and making these nuggets will be a frustrating, unpleasant endeavour. If your hands are wet, everything slides nicely and easily. Lubrication is a good thing.</p>\n<p>Interesting fun fact #2: My point about lubrication is also, so I hear, what the proverbial \"she\" said.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Gently slide the nuggets into suitably hot oil. Regarding what, exactly, constitutes \"suitably hot\", well I\'m not a goddamn chef. I don\'t know. Hot enough that the chicken cooks but not so hot that the chicken burns. Adjust the fire as necessary throughout the cooking process.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Once the nuggets have turned a golden colour, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon. The slotted spoon is important. The first time I made these, I did not have a slotted spoon, so I had to use a regular spoon. It was not fun. There may have been an impressive stream of invectives coming from my kitchen at some points in the cooking process. My walls are paper thin. To prevent further damage to my reputation within my apartment building, I\'ve invested in a slotted spoon to ease the removal of nuggets from hot oil process.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget7.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Put some paper towel on a plate and lay your cooked nuggets on the plate to drain off some of the oil while the nuggets cool to eating temperature. This is an important step. I may be all different kinds of bitchy at times, but one thing I am not (or almost never am) is a Skinny Bitch. But I also don\'t want to be a fatter bitch than I need to be. So draining off some of the oil to minimise the amount of oil that you actually ingest is probably a good idea.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nugget8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The inside of a freshly made Thai chicken nugget.

Teachers, students and administrators are once again ready to perform their duties and responsibilities to put the name of their school in the limelight and live up to the expectations of those who acknowledge their school as a role model in the community.','<p>Classes in Thailand opened last month. Teachers, students and administrators are once again ready to perform their duties and responsibilities to put the name of their school in the limelight and live up to the expectations of those who acknowledge their school as role model in the community. This is&nbsp;because there are many remarkable public elementary schools in Thailand that have talented students, enviable faculties, energetic directors, modern facilities, and wide range of accomplishments.\n<p>Take Wat Lakkhon School of Ratniyom, Sainoi, Nonthaburi, Thailand as a good example. In 2011 it had only a hundred students coming from Shri Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, and Nonthaburi. There were 12 teachers and I&nbsp;was&nbsp;the lone&nbsp;foreign teacher. That same year it was awarded by His Majesty, the King, the \'Best school in Thailand (small school category).</p>\n<p>Getting the award was not easy.&nbsp;On several occasions our school and students were subjected to the scrutiny of a select committee. The first visit was the qualifying round in the district. Our students had to present school activities on stage for half an hour. The second was appearing again to another committee but this time the objective was to choose the best school in the whole province of Nonthaburi. In the third round our students presented the different subject areas, explained their activities, and answered the judges\'&nbsp;questions about their presentations. Then the score was pitted against the best schools in Central Thailand. Once again, our school emerged number 1 in the region.</p>\n<p>Finally, the committee\'s evaluation was elevated to the last stage of the competition and Wat Lakkhon was adjudged the best school among small schools in the 5 regions of Thailand.</p>\n<p>What really makes the best school in Thailand? Is it because of its talented students , super diligent teachers, or top-ranking directors? I guess they are. In the competition that our school joined in, I had no idea of the criteria used in judging. All I knew was that the students\' speeches and presentations were fantastic. I think we made it to the top because prior to the competition, the school had already won 3 years in a row as the school having the best canteen given by an awarding body from Area 2 of Nonthaburi.</p>\n<p>In 2009, the school toilet was also judged as the cleanest in Nonthaburi. Other than these, the school owned a \'one of a kind\' museum - housing agricultural implements, musical, and interesting relics of the district. What was amazing too was the mushroom culture of the school that supplied the weekly needs of the school. The school garden contributed points for it regularly provided canteen needs like fruit juices, herbs, spices and fruits.</p>\n<p>For the most important one, all activities in this school were geared towards the advancement of science and the development of technology. Of course another contributing factor to the school\'s uniqueness was the presence of talented students who showcased Thai culture through dance, cooking, agri-business, arts, and crafts.</p>\n<p>Another commendable project was the Smart Citizen Project initiated by the director that had encouraged students to be helpful, polite, and smart. Perhaps, one contributory factor to the effectiveness of the teachers was that all of them had been given free housing with basic amenities that enabled them to be in school on time, efficient, and happy.</p>\n<p>There is a competition being held in Thailand this year entitled, \"Dream School\". The director did not participate this time because joining a competition entails a lot of preparation and sacrifices to make. Perhaps in the future, it will be part of that search. As a model of perfection, my school maintains its cleanliness, its good instruction, and good performance of students. Since it has earned a name, the school has had&nbsp;frequent visitors from schools in Nonthaburi and even schools as far as the&nbsp;North of Thailand. The director hopes that he will be able to sustain this until the time the school enters the competition where it can be considered a \"Dream School\" as well.</p>\n<p>Neighborhood Scout, an Internet website, in its Enterprise-grade data for every neighborhood and city in the U.S. article reported, \"America is blessed with thousands of excellent public school which are choc-full of exceptional teachers managed by top-notched administrators, and filled with outstanding students.\"</p>\n<p>May all school administrators be challenged to take a lead in their schools like the administrators I have known who raise funds for the school by holding musical and cultural concerts, raising funds through solicitation, and holding dinner events.</p>\n<p>May the teachers in Thailand also, keep on taking qualifying examinations, take up masters degrees, attend in-service trainings, seminars, and workshops to improve themselves. There is no reason for a school not to emerge a winner in any competition if administrators, teachers and staff and students work together as a team.</p>\n</p>','','2013-06-09 05:57:24',1,'2013-06-09 05:57:24','2013-06-09 20:08:25'),(14806,10,'Weekend madness','weekend-madness','When getting out and about in Bangkok just isn\'t worth it','Many years ago, I was browsing one of those Bangkok ex-pat forums and there was an interesting thread on the topic of ‘the downsides of living in Bangkok\'.

One of the forum members - a middle-aged wife of a business expat - chipped in with the following contribution (and for some reason I have never forgotten it)\n<p>\"There is a total lack of spontaneity when you live in this city. You can\'t just decide to pick up the phone, call a friend and ask if they fancy coming over for a chat and a glass of wine, because they know they\'ll probably spend two hours stuck in traffic. If you want to go anywhere and meet up with friends, too many things have to be planned like a military campaign, especially if it\'s a new restaurant or something that none of you have ever been too before\"</p>\n<p>There are always questions you have to ask yourself.</p>\n<p>Will there be parking available when I get to the destination?<br />What happens if we can\'t find the place we\'re looking for and need an alternative?<br />What if we drive past and then the next U-turn is miles up the road?\"</p>\n<p>The flip side of this is one of the answers I always give when people ask me what I miss about England. Instantly, I recall my childhood and lazy Sunday afternoons when the weather was fine and there was nothing on the TV. Dad would say \"who fancies coming out for a nice drive?\" Everyone\'s hand would shoot up, everyone would pile into the car and off we\'d go.</p>\n<p>Even though we lived in the centre of Birmingham - England\'s second largest city - within 20-30 minutes you could be setting up a picnic rug in a farmer\'s field, walking down Henley-in-Arden High Street eating one of their world famous ice-creams and admiring the Tudor architecture. Or perhaps enjoying half a shandy in a country pub beer garden or listening to the sound of leather against willow at a village cricket match.</p>\n<p>This past Saturday and Sunday brought this all home to me. My wife and I, feeling guilty about sticking to the same routine weekend after weekend, decided to do &lsquo;something for a change\' and drive over to Soi Thonglor to sample a teddy-bear themed coffee shop that we had read so much about on the internet. Also in soi 15 Thonglor, is Villa Supermarket (always worth a browse) and Greyhound Restaurant (a decent place for lunch) as well as a few independent shops.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know why it is but the Bangkok traffic on Saturdays is now just as bad, if not worse, than it is from Monday to Friday. It took us two hours to get from our home in Samut Prakarn to Soi Thonglor and ninety minutes to get back. That\'s a total of three and a half hours stuck in a car. Not at all something you want to do when the time at weekends is so precious.</p>\n<p>On Sunday, we had to go to Paradise Park Shopping Mall on Sri Nakarin Road to get a few odds and ends that we can\'t get elsewhere. It\'s a journey we\'ve done many times from home in less than half an hour. Again, we got caught up in horrendous traffic jams - thanks to the construction of an underground tunnel - and it took us an hour to get to the shopping mall and an hour back.</p>\n<p>I\'ve very recently joined Twitter and already follow about 250-300 people. Most of those people (or Tweeters) live in Bangkok and all have a different spin on things depending on which part of the city they live in. Twitter is all about sharing information and it\'s been a real eye-opener to read people\'s tweets and realize just how many great places there are in this city that I would never have otherwise heard of.</p>\n<p>There are exciting concept restaurants in every suburb, museums, art galleries and markets I\'ve never walked around, interesting themed coffee shops and pubs - the list is never-ending. And of course Twitter is where I first heard about Mr Jones Orphanage in Soi Thonglor - a teddy-bear themed coffee shop with delicious, gooey, home-made cakes to die for and the promise that customers will be transported back to a childhood era.</p>\n<p>So how was the coffee shop once we had crawled bumper-to-bumper up Soi Thong Lor from Sukhumwit Road, eventually found a place to park (for an extortionate 50 baht an hour) and muttered and grumbled over how long it had taken us to get there? The answer is - well it was OK. Not great - just OK. The d&eacute;cor was funky and enchanting but the cakes were no better than we can order in our own neighborhood. We had lunch in Greyhound Restaurant and it was fine, but ultimately nothing memorable. We strolled around the soi 15 area and to be honest, I thought it all looked a bit tired. Perhaps we weren\'t in the right frame of mind to enjoy the afternoon. Or perhaps gigantic shopping malls like Megamall Bang Na - which is right on our doorstep - now just blow everything else away.</p>\n<p>I\'m not knocking the establishments we went to on Saturday afternoon, far from it, each of them delivered a commendable level of customer satisfaction, but there wasn\'t enough of a wow factor in any of them that would make me want to spend three and a half hours in traffic again.</p>\n<p>It\'s fantastic that Bangkok has so many fun and interesting places to visit but I can\'t help feel that they are accessible only to folks who live in that particular suburb. For the rest of us - it\'s just too much damn hassle to get there.</p>\n<p>When Sunday night rolled around, my wife and I looked back over the weekend - a post-mortem as it were. It wasn\'t the meals or the cakes or the goodies in any of the shops that stood out. All we could do was moan about how much time we had wasted over the course of two days being sat in traffic jams.</p>\n<p>We ventured out to new places because we felt we needed a break from routine. But we\'ve realised that there\'s no shame in doing the tried and trusted week in and week out - if it makes us happier.</p>\n<p>I think I summed it up best - \"sometimes you have to go out to remind yourselves why you don\'t go out\"</p>\n</p>','','2013-06-10 05:43:02',1,'2013-06-10 05:43:02','2013-06-10 19:07:03'),(14809,71,'Paradise party island','paradise-party-island','Travelling to Phi Phi Island','A friend of mine visited a few weeks back, so once my summer school ended, we decided to hoof it down to Phuket to spend a week or so.

We decided to visit Koh Phi Phi first, and if I\'m honest, we never made it anywhere else.</p>\n<p>Getting to Phuket is quite easy. We took a VIP bus from Mo Chit (the northern bus terminal) in Bangkok all the way to Phuket\'s \"Bus Terminal 2,\" and it was about 1,080 baht each. This is far more than we paid to return VIP (680 baht each), but this was literally the nicest bus I have ever been on in my life... and I\'ve been on my fair share of buses. First class on Delta Airlines can\'t hold a candle.</p>\n<p>The bus ride took about 12 hours (overnight), so we arrived in Phuket around 7:00 a.m., and decided to visit Phi Phi first in our whirlwind tour of the island so we headed straight to the port. I couldn\'t tell which beach the boat to Phi Phi left from, but I know it cost about 200 baht on a baht bus to get to it, and 1,000 baht each roundtrip for the 2ish hour ferry ride to and from the island.</p>\n<p>Just go ahead and expect transportation to be a complete rip-off in and around Phuket; it\'s easily four times as much as getting around Bangkok, but hey, what can you expect when you\'re visiting paradise?</p>\n<p>The ferry ride to the island is spectacular. It truly feels like you\'re in a movie; mountainous islands in sight, beautiful blue water, sunshine, warm... it\'s lovely. My friend and I hadn\'t bothered booking any of this in advance, travel or hotels, so we decided to go straight to the beach with a few spirits and relax the day away. We spent a solid day-11:00 a.m. to sunset-on the beach, and it was beautiful. The island has many beaches, but we honestly never made it past the \"party\" beach... next time I visit, I will do my best to see more of the island.</p>\n<p>We wondered around until we found a place to stay. There are many, many places to stay on the island, and it wasn\'t \"high season\" anymore, so we had no problem finding a place a short walk from the beach for 400 baht/night (for both of us). It wasn\'t much more than a hostel with a fan and shared showers, but when you\'re on an island in paradise, what more do you need?</p>\n<p>Night on the island is an entirely different beast. During the day, there\'s plenty of cute places to eat and shop, beaches, and a generally chill atmosphere. At night, every night, it\'s not remotely the same. It\'s crazy. That\'s all I can say. Beach raves all night, Thai men throwing and playing with fire on the beach all night to ridiculously loud club music, drinking, smoking... it was like The Hangover in real life. I\'ve never seen anything like it in my life, and I\'ve been known to party a bit.</p>\n<p>But, that\'s not all there is to do on and around the island. One day, we took a 400 baht longboat tour with other random people around to \"Monkey Beach\" on a nearby island, then to a beautiful national park island of some sort to explore and do some snorkeling. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Pristine beaches (albeit littered in some places), monkeys everywhere, crystal clear water... again, it was like being in a movie. We got to meet some really cool people, got some gorgeous pictures, and can officially say we did something besides party around the party island.</p>\n<p>There\'s really not much else to say about Phi Phi. I liked it a lot, especially because if you\'re the type that wants to party, there is that in abundance. But if you\'re the type that does not, the island is still a wonderful destination; it has the best of both worlds.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, although it\'s not that expensive for what it is (no more than a club in Bangkok would be), money can get tight fairly quickly. This is especially true due to the fact that my wallet was stolen out of my pant pockets while I was swimming. But, hey, they say be careful, and I wasn\'t. So, after a few days, and out of money, we had to head back to Bangkok, without even seeing more of Phuket than the bus station again.</p>\n<p>That trip was miserable. Not only was it the culmination of multiple days of raving on party island, but the bus ended up taking 13+ hours to get back to Bangkok. Ugh. Even so, it was so worth it.</p>\n<p>I can\'t wait to go back to visit Phuket and Krabi... although next time I go, it will be more of a relaxing trip than a \"I\'m on vacation so I\'m living it up.\" There are so many beautiful places to see and fun things to do... there isn\'t enough time or money! I love Bangkok, don\'t get me wrong... but I can\'t imagine how awesome it would be to live somewhere like Phi Phi.</p>\n<p>It would be awesome.

Running your own niche website is a great way of expressing your opinion and making money through things like Adsense, banner advertising and sponsored articles. This article will show you how to get started and hopefully make some extra income.</p>\n<p><strong>Use topics you love</strong></p>\n<p>When your thinking of your niche website, pick something that you know there is an active community for&nbsp;because you always want to encourage engagement. Through inviting people to comment and send in their own thoughts, it helps you create a community around your own website, which will then bring in even more visitors.</p>\n<p>Always put a unique perspective on what you\'re talking about. This can be done through research, questionnaires, reading books that have been lost for years, interviewing people or just coming up with your own theories and putting them out to the world. One thing to remember is that you should always keep a note-book handy so when you do come up with a great idea for an article, you have a safe place to log it down and&nbsp;remember it.</p>\n<p><strong>Regularity brings popularity</strong></p>\n<p>I spoke to a wonderful gentleman who runs a long term blog here in Thailand and he said that the most important thing was consistency of posting i.e what and when you post. He always posts his articles on Sunday afternoon without fail and his readership expects this too.</p>\n<p>Creating a content schedule is a great way of helping you keep on track. First choose how many articles you can consistently write a week, second space them out over the week (or month if you\'re writing only a few articles) and then record the&nbsp;type of article you will write into&nbsp;a calendar. For example Monday = article on ESL teaching, Wednesday = Book review and Friday = funny stories from teachers. Just remember to be honest with&nbsp;yourself and map your content writing around your daily life.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your voice?</strong></p>\n<p>Before you embark on this quest think about&nbsp;the angle and kind of voice you want to bring to your topic. Are you&nbsp;reviewing, informing or condemning? Are you going to be&nbsp;formal, free, fanatical or friendly? Choose early and stick to it as people tend to warm towards characters.</p>\n<p>To get started, first define your personality in a sentence. Then think if your writing style was say a drink what would it be? A glass of aged red wine? A fruity cocktail or even a cool glass of easy going beer? If you get stuck then try different personalities and write say 200 words in that persona and see which one feels right.</p>\n<p>Think of your favourite author or column in the newspaper and how look forward to reading articles from certain critics. Well, that is the feeling you want to give to your readers.</p>\n<p><strong>How many visitors do I need in order&nbsp;to start charging?</strong></p>\n<p>To cut a long story short you need over 30,000 unique visitors a month to warrant charging for exposure on your website with the norm being around 50,000 to 100,000. However! If you can show potential customers that your site has a highly active and focused readership, then they may consider paying you for advertising.</p>\n<p>Business owners like me want&nbsp;a return on investment&nbsp;or brand exposure.&nbsp;Potential advertisers&nbsp;will want to know your CTR (click-through rate) in other words&nbsp;what percentage of&nbsp;your website visitors are seeing the advertiser\'s banner and then physically clicking on it -&nbsp;so they can work out how many potential customers they can expect. It is easy to do a Google Analytics PDF export of your site stats - after signing up for Google Analytics of course -&nbsp;so keep that handy to send to customers.</p>\n<h3><strong>Ways of making money online</strong></h3>\n<p><strong>Selling Banner Advertising Space</strong></p>\n<p>First you will need to have a&nbsp;page on your site&nbsp;clearly advising visitors&nbsp;what banner sizes and banner types&nbsp;are available. Be sure to include information about dimensions in pixels and the size of the file e.g. keep under 100Kb. Your pricing will depend on the length of time, placement and size of the banner. Start cheap and work your way up e.g 460&times;60 full banner, on the homepage for one month&nbsp;should be around&nbsp;3000 baht.</p>\n<p>Need help selling? Then try signing up for http://buysellads.com as they will sell and manage your spaces for you. You could also offer banner design services by learning photoshop and offer a full package.</p>\n<p><strong>Google AdSense</strong></p>\n<p>Another way to make money is through Adsense which puts Google ads on your website dependant upon your set criteria or the keywords on the page. Be careful when doing this, less is more so don\'t spam your own website with too many ads.</p>\n<p><strong>Sponsored Articles</strong></p>\n<p>If you have a successful website you may start to get companies and individuals contacting you to do paid reviews or sponsored articles. Essentially the pay you to review their product or they send you an article to put in your site. In return they will ask for a link to their site. With this you have to put the quality of your website first rather than a quick $20 shoddy article on your site.</p>\n<p>Only post reviews and sponsored articles that are interesting and relevant to your users and don\'t be afraid to ask the company to re-write an article or link back to your review from their website.</p>\n<p><strong>Last Thoughts</strong></p>\n<p>Building a successful website is all about amazing content, lots of quality imbound links and tones of social media. It takes time to build a successful website and it all depends on that passion you have in the pit of your stomach for your topic. Write passionately and they will come.</p>\n</p>','','2013-06-17 22:54:51',1,'2013-06-17 22:54:51','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(14847,57,'Want to be a reality TV star?','want-to-be-a-reality-tv-star','When Bangkok property TV becomes a reality ','The TV production company are ideally looking for an expat couple (preferably where both parties are foreigners in Thailand).The couple must be already living in Bangkok and have bought or rented a property here already.','<p>For regular readers of this blog, this is a little departure from the norm. Regular readers will know that past real estate blogs posted on Ajarn have mainly focused on various aspects of the Bangkok real estate market, the development of various condos and apartments in the city center, and how this can be of interest to or affect the lives of expats in Bangkok, often with a angle for teachers. However this month is a bit different. Let me explain why.</p>\n<p>This month we at <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv\">Easyhomes</a>&nbsp;were contacted by a TV production company from the US to help organize the production of the TV show they regularly produce for a cable TV network in the US. The show is of course property-based and is one of those real estate shows you probably have seen where a number of properties are compared and contrasted to determine which one is the best for the requirements and budget of the particular member of the public featured on that week\'s episode.</p>\n<p>The show is not only broadcast in the US, but is also sold and broadcast in many countries around the globe that offer cable TV. In fact I understand the program has a total viewing audience of 90 million people worldwide! I am not a regular TV viewer&nbsp;and do not really watch reality TV shows, so I was not aware of the shows existence, but clearly many people are, and there is a good chance some Ajarn readers have seen some episodes of&nbsp;the show.</p>\n<p>Fortunately the segment of the show we helped to&nbsp;organize went as planned and the production company in the US have already been back in contact wanting us to help organize a feature in further episodes filmed in Bangkok. Of course this will involve organizing more properties to view and film for the coming episode, but also the TV show will also need a suitable expat couple to feature on the show. This is where Ajarn readers may come in.</p>\n<p>Firstly before I carry on and waste anyone\'s time, this will not be a paid exercise, it is purely for volunteers who would enjoy the experience of working with a TV crew for 2-3 days (actually 2-3 afternoons) and then be broadcast on a popular cable TV channel to a large audience. At the very least it would make a good dinner story for the couple involved.</p>\n<p>Secondly and here\'s the rub, plus the irony of mentioning this in a blog on Ajarn.com - the TV show has already featured expat teachers in Bangkok and so would rather avoid featuring more teachers, only because it would become repetitive for the viewers. So if you have any friends or acquaintances outside of the teaching community that may be interested in being in the show, please contact me at <a href=\"mailto:neil@easyhomes.tv\">my email address</a>&nbsp; Or if you are part of the teaching community and perhaps have an interesting sideline that brings you in income or a unique angle on what you do.</p>\n<p>The TV production company are ideally looking for an expat couple (preferably where both parties are foreigners in Thailand).The couple must be already living in Bangkok and have bought or rented a property here already. It would also be a great asset if they had an interesting back-story or perhaps a quirky reason to be living in Bangkok (but please no fugitives on-the-run, or people a little too interested in children, yes this is TV, but not 1970\'s UK TV.</p>\n<p>No budgets are ruled out, nor is there an age limit, so a retired expat couple could be considered for the show.&nbsp; The bottom line is that if you are part of an expat couple living in Bangkok, or know one that may be interested, please let us know and we will not only be in contact, but also pass on all information to the TV production company for consideration.

If you don\'t like it please feel free go take a long walk off a short pier (there\'s the good fun).</p>\n<p>Final Note: Some of the things listed below can be found in larger cities in Thailand such as Bangkok, but I have included them nonetheless. See elephants below as example 1.</p>\n<p><strong>1) Random elephants </strong></p>\n<p>You\'re sitting at the roadside noodle shop enjoying your evening meal when you look around and two teenage elephants casually trundle past you with a mahout on their way back to the village. Of course they have red bicycle lights tied on their tails, why would you even ask? This never gets old. Seriously, what\'s cooler then having a friggin\' ELEPHANT walking by your local night market every day? Sometimes locals will complain about the elephants like they\'re raccoons, which is absolutely outstanding for a farang like myself. \"Stupid elephants bothering me and my evening meal of guay tiaw nam tok!\" Splendid.</p>\n<p><strong>2) Local sports pick-up games</strong></p>\n<p>You walk over to a football pitch or basketball court and simply ask: \"Can I play too?\" So simple and so fun. Sport is universal and doing this helps immerse you in the culture, while making new Thai friends. Double bonus. In a rural town you will in all likelihood meet at least one police officer and a bunch of local professionals. Never hurts to have people looking out for you.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Aerobic dance classes and the exercise park</strong></p>\n<p>Aerobic dance is super fun to watch because there\'s always a certain degree of unintentional comedy. Sometimes it\'s the instructor going crazy on an elevated platform walking around with the confidence of an Egyptian Pharaoh screaming through their ridiculous wireless microphone headpiece thingy at his or her students. Other times it\'s the 70 plus year old granny exercising next to a stunning 20 something. In regards to the exercise park I have three words: Hip. Swing. Machine. That is all. Around 6pm the sun starts to go down and people scatter in a mad dash to grab dinner and get home. All is quiet on the western front by 7pm. It\'s pretty cool to watch it all unfold while the sun sinks like a drunk, hazy orange. Not bad. Speaking of which.....</p>\n<p><strong>4) Sunsets and walks on the beach</strong></p>\n<p>OK there were no beaches where I taught in Isaan, but those sunsets were pretty awesome. The flatness of the land and lack of tall buildings makes it seem like you\'re at one of the lowest points on earth at times. And the skyline is huge because of this, which adds a kind of majesty to the whole process. Throw in a cold Leo and it\'s a nice way to unwind after a day.</p>\n<p><strong>5) The after school snack district </strong></p>\n<p>When 3:30pm hits and classes are over the bazaar comes to life. It\'s usually located along the front gate of the school or near the football/soccer field (I know, I know it\'s a football pitch relax everyone it\'s ok I\'m Canadian). I don\'t know what all the food is or is called, but man it\'s good. And satisfying. Fried chicken on a stick with chili sauce was my personal favourite. Especially after teaching 4/12 and 4/13 back to back on a Monday afternoon. Did I mention the vendors will serve you before a line of 15 students because you\'re a teacher? And the students don\'t mind at all because you\'re a teacher? Amazing.</p>\n<p><strong>6) The morning rush to school</strong></p>\n<p>You step outside at 7:50am and have 10 minutes to get inside the gate for the national anthem and flag ceremony, which is 2 blocks from your apartment. Then again, everything is two blocks away in town. Literally. In my case, you jump on your Honda Wave and start booking it over. The smell from the \"kao neow moo ping\" stand smacks you in the face. Maybe a bug does as well. A mini-bus drives by full of kids, some of them sitting on the roof. And by some I mean fifteen. They wave and smile. A motorcycle flies by carrying a family of 4, or was it 5? Students are parking their motorcycles inches away from each other in the archaic parking space. You get to the cross-walk and a policeman is dressed to the nine\'s, blowing his whistle, master of his domain, directing the masses in and out of the school gate. And in all this semi-organized chaos you just feel...well...alive</p>\n<p><strong>7) Riding a motorcycle around town and feeling like a complete badass </strong></p>\n<p>Even if it\'s a 100cc Honda Wave. I\'m a farang, in Isaan, on a bike. That\'s cool. If you don\'t have a hog then a bicycle can actually up the cool/unique factor. A farang dressed up riding a bicycle to work gets quite a reaction. One of my co-workers did this in Si Saket and Thai students used to comment all the time; \"Lam mak\", \"Tea mak\" (really cool, dope, ill, fly, fresh, sick etc.). Anyways bottom line is both options are much cooler than sitting in traffic for an hour or riding a sardine packed skytrain. I\'ll be \"ba-nok\" and take a 2-5 minute commute all day.</p>\n<p><strong>8) Riding a bicycle around town</strong></p>\n<p>Doing this is almost a guaranteed way to cause a laugh riot because farangs on bicycles in small amphoe\'s is the most hilarious thing in the world. Related to the one above, but just want to reinforce this. Anytime, anywhere in a small town a farang on a bicycle is a sure smile/laugh generator.</p>\n<p><strong>9) Barbershop visits and the results that ensue</strong></p>\n<p>You think you told him to trim the top and use a number 2 razor on the sides? Ha! It\'s a crap shoot, especially if you don\'t speak much Thai. One of the most suspenseful and drama-filled activities you can do in a small town. \"Sweet! I always wanted a K-Pop flop-top!\"</p>\n<p><strong>10) \"Wai Loon\" Internet cafes </strong></p>\n<p>Jammed with 25 Thai teens/wai loons/dek vans playing their modern-day versions of Counter Strike online. So you wanted to Skype home, talk to granny and catch up? Think again. The noise that comes from that place is incredible. Or maybe it\'s the supped-up motorcycles flying around outside. Either way. Ahhh to be young again.</p>\n<p><strong>11) Pinky fingers </strong></p>\n<p>While I\'m on the subject of wai loons/dek vans you can find many young men in rural Thailand who grow their pinky nail to ridiculous lengths while keeping it perfectly manicured. It\'s a sign that they don\'t work. Or don\'t perform hard work such as farming. Snoop Dogg (Lion) had this at one point. That previous sentence was a bit of a tangent, but Snoop is worth it. Some people say it\'s to sniff stuff. I\'ve also heard for picking your nose and for scratching hard to reach places. Now that I think about it I\'m not sure what the pinky nail is for. But it\'s obviously the coolest thing in the world.</p>\n<p><strong>12) Getting to know your food vendors </strong></p>\n<p>There\'s something really nice about going to get your chicken and having it in a bag, ready and with the exact amount you wanted without saying a word. Just show up and BAM! Dinner\'s served. Sometimes being the only foreign person around helps expedite things rather nicely.</p>\n<p>Note: Bangkok is often thought of as 1000 villages packed together and I have no doubt many city goers know their food sellers. In a small town if the chicken lady is away there\'s no chicken. Period. And there\'s definitely no Popeye\'s or KFC out in the sticks. Speaking of fast food...</p>\n<p><strong>13) Western cravings</strong></p>\n<p>I stayed in several places where the nearest Western food was 50km away. Sure there was a caf&eacute; that had some drinks, but that doesn\'t count. And the Western selection at the TESCO Express doesn\'t count either. I\'m talking KFC and McDonald\'s. During my time I ate local food the vast majority of time and am pretty adaptable. I don\'t mind fried grasshoppers, rather enjoy them actually. That being said, you get cravings and they come and go as they please. For me this often meant dreams of Dr.Pepper (not sold in Thailand) and good sandwiches (proper cold cuts, real cheese, nice baguette etc.). I wasted spare periods going on food rants with co-workers in the office. Driving to a bigger town and chowing down on some KFC on a Saturday was a highlight for me at one point.</p>\n<p>Note: I had a 30baht Oreo McFlurry during my last semester in Khon Kaen that was absolutely horrendous.</p>\n<p><strong>14) Small town blues</strong></p>\n<p>Or in some instances desperate boredom. Credit goes to Professor Anderson for reminding me about this. Sometimes you get so bored drinking at the local watering hole for the umpteenth time on a Saturday night that you begin doing strange things. Maybe you start counting the number of geckos that run in and out of the walls. The scary part is it actually becomes pretty fun. Or maybe that\'s the good part. Moving on...</p>\n<p><strong>15) Getting sick and going to the hospital </strong></p>\n<p>Hospitals are never fun, but man do they make a big deal out of you. Not to mention they give you a sack of medication large enough to last 3 months for that dog bite you got. Can\'t be too careful now can we? Oh and the doctor, nurse, security guard etc. will all check up on you for the rest of the semester when they randomly run into you at the one TESCO Express or cao-mun-gai shop.</p>\n<p><strong>16) Town concerts</strong></p>\n<p>Preferably Mo-Lum. If you don\'t know what Mo-Lum is and you\'ve been in Thailand for over a year A) You\'ve never been to the countryside B) Just give up and go back home. Mo-Lum shows almost never end well. And this is why they\'re awesome. You know, as long as you make it out alright. There are fistfights, potential gun fights, shady drug deals, teenage motorcycle gangs and massively under-equipped and under-manned security guys. All accompanied by hard-hitting, hip thrusting, drink-an-M150-and-get-a-little-crazy Mo-Lum music. It\'s the Thai Isaan equivalent of...well...nothing I can think of. Almost forgot to mention all the half-naked ladies and ladyboys dancing super provocative on stage for a bunch of drunk/drugged up dudes. How could anything go wrong?</p>\n<p><strong>17) Befriending and drinking with locals</strong></p>\n<p>Do I really have to go into why this is wicked? Isaan people have lots of \"jai dee\" and \"naam jai\" and are generally more welcoming then other Thais, especially small town Isaan. Drinking Blend285 and Sang Som with a couple of the fellas after a game of basketball or football? Yes please! Alcohol helps break down the language barrier and Thai peoples\' initial shyness. They\'ll open up more and you might be able to develop some really deep and meaningful relationships when it\'s all said and done. Yay alcohol!</p>\n<p><strong>18) Leaving your amphoe for the big bad city</strong></p>\n<p>And by big bad city I mean Udon Thani, Ubon Rachatani, Khon Kaen or Korat. Seriously. Come out of a small amphoe for an English competition to one of these places and you\'re left gawking in awe. \"A shopping mall? A KFC? A big TESCO? Nooooo waayyyyyyyy! Man this place is so hi-so it\'s crazy!!\"</p>\n<p><strong>19) Meeting the other foreigners</strong></p>\n<p>You can meet all sorts of characters out there. You may be the character and not even know it. It takes a bit of guts and sense of adventure to teach and/or live in a rural town. I\'ve heard some amazing stories from all kinds of different people while out in the sticks, often over a beer or bottle of whisky. Good times.</p>\n<p><strong>20) Being minutes away from golden rice fields </strong></p>\n<p>Especially in October. Everywhere you turn it looks like a National Geographic photo. Stick that in your polluted tailpipe and smoke it Bangkok!</p>\n<p><strong>21) Scandalous gossip</strong></p>\n<p>\"Wait...you mean to tell me Namfon kissed Sonchai in the back of the school? On the mouth?!?! And they\'re only 16 years old??? Oh my god they\'re the spawn of the underworld. The new Thai generation is so lost, what are we ever going to do?\" Like I said. Scandalous.</p>\n<p>Note: School gossip can be brutal and it\'s best to stay away at all costs. Even the most careful ajarn will get thrown in at some point and often not of their own doing. Just stay calm and be patient till they move onto the next topic. And remember they have much more invested in the school than you. Many have decades under their belts so there\'s no point getting involved, especially if you\'re only staying for a year or two.</p>\n<p><strong>22) The Meeting or \"Phachoom\"</strong></p>\n<p>*Dos Equis Guy Voice* \"I don\'t always want to kill myself, but when I do, it\'s usually at a teachers meeting at 4:30pm on a Friday where everything is in Thai and doesn\'t concern 95% of the people at the meeting. Stay thirsty my friends.\" Where\'s that bottle of sang som?</p>\n<p><strong>23) Making a joke in Thai</strong></p>\n<p>The joke has to be well known, simple and expected. For example: \"Farang gin farang.\" Farang means foreigner and is also the word for guava. So if you have a bag of guava, turn to the nearest Thai person, put on a smile and say \"farang gin farang.\" Guaranteed laugh every time, never fails. If you go full-out Isaan and say \"bok seedah gin bok seedah\" the Thai person might break down. The learning curve for this is quicker in the country where you have to use more Thai more often in comparison to the bigger cities.</p>\n<p><strong>24) Old Thai male teachers</strong></p>\n<p>They\'re 3 years from retirement, been at the same school for 35 years and could not give less of a damn. This is a beautiful thing. Go introduce yourself, make friends and hang out. WAY more fun than they younger Thai teacher who takes themselves too seriously or are into the school politics/gossip game. The best part about the old guys? The dirty jokes and wink wink nudge nudge stuff. I can\'t write it here, but it\'s gold. It\'s like having a crazy older uncle at school. Always reliable for a laugh and a smile.</p>\n<p>Note: This is from a male perspective. Farang women would probably not be able to have the kind of relationship described above due to the conservative nature of rural Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>25) Old Thai female teachers</strong></p>\n<p>Especially those who work in the hospital/health unit department or whatever it\'s called. They see young foreign teachers as their children and are ALWAYS giving you free food and snacks. When you combine \"food\" and \"free\" it\'s always a win-win situation. Add a sweet aunt to that crazy uncle.</p>\n<p>Note: Again a male perspective, but female teachers I\'ve worked with have had really solid relationships with many female Thai staff members.</p>\n<p><strong>26) Tranquility</strong></p>\n<p>So we\'re back to the rice fields. Apart from the amazing view you also get this thing called peace and quiet if you decide to take a walk. You\'ll see cows, buffalos, birds, farmers and fisherman all moving about their daily routines, intertwined and yet respectfully distant, each playing their role to perfection. The primeval rhythms that have existed for centuries in places such as Isaan are really cool to see up close.</p>\n<p><strong>27) Karaoke encounters</strong></p>\n<p>There are always several karaoke bars, even in the smallest amphoe\'s, decorated with Christmas lights and pretty seedy. To the point where you wonder if they decided to play into the seedy expectation by just going completely over the top with it on purpose. If you get within 20 meters of places like this there\'s a 97.5% chance the school will tell you you\'re fired for sleeping with a karaoke girl last night. Just kidding. But not really. If you\'ve worked in a small town those last sentences should make complete sense. The walls have ears.</p>\n<p>There\'s also school karaoke, which if you\'re a non-singer like myself is completely terrifying. Yeah, no problem, let me get up and embarrass myself in front of 150 co-workers at this lovely new years party. Also, screw you Eagles, Ronan Keating, Westlife and The Cranberries. If one more student sings zombie at an English talent show I swear....</p>\n<p><strong>28) Weekend to Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve taken a few digs at the celestial city of angels, but it\'s great and I\'ve had many memorable times in the city, most of which I shouldn\'t write about. Being a city boy myself (Toronto, Canada) it\'s hard to impress me, but Bangkok is really cool. Period. So when the amphoe has me 5 minutes away from grabbing my grenade launcher I escape to BKK and let loose. Sometimes it means going to the club, dancing and getting utterly wasted. Other times it\'s hanging out at bar (I know I know pub) and chilling. Other times it\'s visiting friends and catching a movie. Sometimes it\'s simple delights like going to the Irish Pub on Silom and getting a really good burger. So yeah, I guess Krungthep is OK after all. Oh and the bus ride there and back is often half the fun.</p>\n<p><strong>29) Amphoe co-workers</strong></p>\n<p>\"There\'s another foreign teacher? How old? Where are they from? Just tell me everything they\'ve ever done in their life so we can be best friends forever ok?\" The foreign community at rural schools in Thailand is usually very tight. Other times people can be distant for whatever reason. More often that not, bonds are formed because they\'re the only other people who get it. Thai people have the same amount of trouble understanding Western culture as we do understanding Thai culture. Having someone to talk to where you don\'t have to think about what you\'re about to say and truly express yourself is really great, especially if there are only a handful of you in the entire town. At my old school in Si Saket there were 8 of us. You become support for each other and lots of special relationships can develop out of these circumstances. It\'s like when you go into battle and survive together. Sounds corny and a bit over the top, but it\'s a real sentiment.</p>\n<p><strong>30) School trips on the school bus</strong></p>\n<p>Graduating M6 students often get a free trip from the school before they graduate and sometimes we\'re asked to tag along. A free trip? Sounds great! Count me in. Wait, what? We have to be at school at 4am Saturday morning?</p>\n<p>So once you drag yourself to school you wait until 5:30am until the buses leave. Obviously because the head coordinator decided to sleep in. So naturally we\'re all going to sleep once we\'re on the bus and drive to the mountain right? Wrong. Now this is where things can take a turn into an alternate reality. The Thai teenage karaoke comes out. Pulse pounding upbeat Thai karaoke at 5:30am. And. It. Doesn\'t. Stop. I spent the first hour being \"angry farang.\" Then I started smiling. Then I started swaying a bit. Dancing happened. Then singing. Welcome to the twilight zone. Did I mention there were strobe lights in this bus? I\'ve never had a more fun/crazy/memorable 10 hours in the bus in my life (5 hours there and back). Sometimes in Thailand you just have to jump right in and shed those inhibitions.</p>\n<p><strong>31) Spreading the wealth</strong></p>\n<p>You\'ll meet some students, families and locals who are very poor. Maybe you\'ll get to know them through another teacher or by yourself. Somewhere along the line you\'ll realize how much you have and how little they do. So before you leave you might give them a t-shirt or pair of shorts from back home. And that smile you get back in return will stay with you and remind you maybe why you came here in the first place.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Hope you enjoyed reading and congratulations on making it this far.

Luckily, it\'s not the end of the world for US citizens living in Bangkok to get it replaced. Just don\'t plan on leaving the country anytime soon.\n','<p>Well, after traveling through 14 countries in the last few years, I finally managed to lose my passport. That\'s fairly impressive for me; anyone who knows me knows that I lose phones, keys, wallets, and other objects other people typically keep up with on a fairly regular basis. Luckily, it\'s not the end of the world for US citizens living in Bangkok to get it replaced. Just don\'t plan on leaving the country anytime soon.</p>\n<p>The American Embassy is located about a 15 minute walk from Phloen Chit BTS station. Exit the station from Exit 5, turn left, and keep walking. Note that before reaching the consulate-ish area where you actually get your passport and other documents, you will see \"the embassy\" on your right. The building you\'re looking for is on the same side of the street (your left).</p>\n<p>You can probably find it by the immensely long line of Thais waiting to get documentation of whatever kind. I feel a bit bad about that; there is a \"foreigner\" line and a US citizen line. Just go up to the window (there typically isn\'t a line for citizens the few times I have visited), tell them you need a passport, go through the security rigmarole, head into the US citizen services building nearby (follow the signs), fill out the paperwork, and you\'re pretty much done. I was surprised how easy it was, actually.</p>\n<p>The fee as of May 5, 2013, was $130 if you pay in USD; the exchange rate they\'re currently using is good if you have USD--31 baht to $1. Not bad! But, you can pay in baht if you like. It was something like 4,080 baht for the fee.</p>\n<p>Don\'t worry if you don\'t have a copy of your passport; they seem to be ok with it. I had one (as it\'s always a good idea to do), but I saw other people who did not have a copy with them. Some kind of ID will obviously be helpful, but everyone in the office was quite nice and helpful, so I\'m sure they will find some way around it if you lose everything.</p>\n<p>After you pay and fill in the relevant paperwork, they will give you a receipt and tell you to come back in roughly two weeks to pick it up. It only took them a week and a half for me. I was brilliant enough to let my wallet with my passport copy and other IDs get stolen off of the beach in Phuket, so when I returned, I simply showed them the email they sent me saying to come in to pick up my passport, and I was golden.</p>\n<p>The entire process, both applying for the passport and picking it up, didn\'t take more than an hour each time, security included. It\'s the first thing I\'ve ever done with the US government that ran so smoothly, and I\'m quite impressed. And now, I have a brand new passport with 10 years of validity! Let\'s hope I can keep up with this one...</p>\n<p>Don\'t forget, though: you have to go to Bangkok Immigration and get a new entry stamp. That process SHOULD take ten minutes (although mine took all day due to them not having any record of me landing at the airport weeks before), and will require four things: a copy of the police report from your lost passport, a letter from the embassy saying you got your passport replaced, a copy of the new passport information page, and finally&nbsp;a form you pick up in the immigration office that summarizes all of this activity.&nbsp;The new entry stamp&nbsp;is free, unless you have overstayed your visa from your last passport.</p>\n<p>If you have overstayed, as the officers were convinced I had (having no record of me being in the country), you must pay the typical 500 baht per day overstay -plus 1,900 baht for a 7-day extension visa. You don\'t have a choice. I finally gave up and ended up paying 4,000 baht in fees because it was no longer worth arguing with them, but hopefully that doesn\'t happen too often.</p>\n<p>Still, for the passport itself, it\'s not a terrible process. Just hope you don\'t incur the wrath of immigration.</p>','','2013-06-29 04:35:19',1,'2013-06-29 04:35:19','2013-06-29 18:06:20'),(14859,52,'July 2013','july-2013','All the latest deals and news from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','Thailand can be a terrific place to take a TEFL course.

I did spend a couple of minutes trying to think up a good \"It\'s Raining Men/Mangoes\" pun, but I\'m not really that punny. The best I could come up with was \"It\'s Raining MANgoes\", which I think is a little weak as far as puns go.</p>\n<p>What that mango that nearly dropped on my head really did was serve to remind me that mango season was almost over and I had yet to enjoy a single mango. That mango was perfect. It was beautiful. I briefly considered picking it up and diving right in (I basically stick my entire face into my mangoes when I eat them-- how do you eat yours?), but I was in public and propriety held me back.</p>\n<p>Instead, I started dreaming up mango recipes and scheming to make the most out of what little was left of mango season. I dreamed up all kinds of mango recipes I wanted to try, but seeing as I don\'t currently have an oven, I\'m limited to what I can prepare on my stovetop. Thus, I present to you mango ice cream and mango lemonade:</p>\n<p><strong>Mango Ice Cream<br /></strong>You will need 2/3 cup milk, 2 cups whipping cream, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 egg yolks, and about two mangoes.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango2.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Use a food processor to make a chunky puree out of the flesh of the mangoes or, if like me you do not have a food processor, chop the mangoes as finely as you can manage. This step actually took me awhile, but I think that was mostly because every time I pulled off a strip of the mango peel, I would spend a few minutes sucking off any fruit/juice which was stuck to the peel (I can\'t help myself-- mangoes are some of my favourite things ever).</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango3.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Over medium heat, bring the milk and cream to an almost boil. You can tell when it is almost about to boil, because it will start to bubble around just the edges. Once it is almost boiling, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango4.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>With a fork or whisk (I used a fork mostly because I am much too cheap to buy a whisk when a fork or two will do), mix together the sugar and egg yolks. Keep mixing until the mixture turns pale yellow (at first it will be bright yellow, but if you keep mixing, it will noticeably turn shades and when you drag your fork or whisk through the mixture, it leaves a kind of trail or wake)</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango5.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Pour the hot milk over the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly as you pour. Return the entire mixture to your saucepan and add the chopped/pureed mangoes. Stirring constantly, preferably with a wooden spoon*, cook over low heat about 15 minutes. The original recipe I adapted this from says you should cook it until the mixture coats the back of your spoon. I have never felt like the mixture adequately coats the back of the spoon (not according to my idea of what \"to coat\" means, anyway), but if you cook it 15-25 minutes, you should be okay. Just make sure to keep the heat low and to stir non-stop. If the heat is too high or you don\'t stir it while it cooks, your eggs could curdle, and that\'s not a good thing. Unless you like your ice cream curdled.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango6.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>After the custard has cooked for 15-25 minutes, remove it from heat and allow to cool for about an hour, stirring occasionally (now, you\'re stirring just to prevent a skin from forming on the top and, in this part of the world, to deter those pesky ants who just love sweet sticky things). After it has cooled, transfer it to a shallow metal pan** and place it in the freezer uncovered.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango7.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>After your ice cream has been in the freezer about two hours, remove it from the freezer and, using a food processor, a hand-mixer, or just regular old muscle power, process it or whip it until it is smooth. Place it in a covered container and return it to the freezer. Keep your fingers crossed that you don\'t have any power cuts while your ice cream finishes freezing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>*I think you\'re supposed to use a wooden spoon because metal heats up faster than wood does, so if you use a metal spoon, you run a bigger risk of your custard curdling.<br />**I think this time you want a metal pan to help the mixture freeze faster and more evenly. I buy disposable Chinese-type takeout pans for this step and they work well.</p>\n<p><strong>Mango Lemonade</strong></p>\n<p>You will need 1 cup of sugar, 2-5 mangos (depending on the size), and 4-8 lemons (depending on the size and juiciness). Basically, you want enough mangoes to get about 2 1/2 cups of chopped/pureed mango and enough lemons to yield 1 1/2 cups of fresh-squeezed lemon juice.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Place all ingredients in a big saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the mixture boils, reduce heat to medium-low and allow it to boil about 3 minutes. Then remove it from the stove and allow it to cool until it\'s cool enough to touch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango10.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Line a bowl with cheesecloth or a tea towel. Pour your mango mixture into the cheese cloth-lined bowl. Gather up the cheesecloth around the puree in the middle of it, and try to press as much syrup out of the cloth as possible. Try not to allow any big chunks of mango to escape from the cheesecloth.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango11.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Transfer the syrup to a jar. When you are ready to enjoy your lemonade, mix all of the syrup with 4 cups of cold water and 4 cups of ice (or fiddle with the syrup:water:ice ratio to suit your preferences) and enjoy!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/marguerite/mango12.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Sources are important: Both of these recipes are my own adaptations. However, the inspiration and most of the method for the mango ice cream comes from a recipe for coffee ice cream from an ice cream cookbook by Susana Tee, and the inspiration for mango lemonade came from a recipe printed in an issue of Canadian Living (I think it was Canadian Living, but it\'s possible it was Family Circle or something like that) which I found in a box of old magazines in my g-ma\'s garage. The original recipe was for strawberry lemonade so if you liked the mango lemonade and wanted more, now you\'ve got it- do the same thing again, except next time use strawberries. Or get creative and use whichever type of fruit you think might mix well with lemons to make a decent lemonade!</p>','','2013-07-01 06:30:21',1,'2013-07-01 06:30:21','2013-07-01 20:08:22'),(14861,73,'Moving to Bangkok','moving-to-bangkok','What I did right and what I did wrong','When I moved to Bangkok last October, I wasn\'t really sure what I was doing. Looking back, nine months later, I can honestly say that I did some things right and other things I did completely wrong! Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.','<p>When I moved to Bangkok last October, I wasn\'t really sure what I was doing. I\'d left home for a year long adventure in Thailand, hoping to teach English and travel. I wasn\'t sure what to expect, how to prepare or even what to pack. Looking back, nine months later, I can honestly say that I did some things right and other things I did completely wrong! Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.</p>\n<h3><strong>Let\'s start with what I did wrong:</strong></h3>\n<p>1. I didn\'t bring enough money. I originally came to Asia in September to complete my TESOL certification and to travel. But, after one month of classes, a beach and Angkor Wat trip, my savings account was dwindling. By the time I settled into Bangkok with a job and apartment I had the dreaded task of having to ask my parents to lend me some money that would last until my first paycheck. I thought that I had done well with my money! However, I hadn\'t considered the work clothes, apartment supplies, groceries and other &lsquo;getting started\' items that I would need on top of my apartment deposit.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Look at your expected budget and bring at least 1/3 more!</p>\n<p>2. I packed clothes that I\'ve never worn. When I first moved to Thailand I wasn\'t sure where in the country I\'d be living or at what type of school I\'d be teaching. I packed for the most conservative of all options: elementary school in the country. I packed long button-up tops, ill-fitting khaki pants, and long, unflattering skirts. Basically, these clothes made me look like a 1950\'s school marm. Of course I ended up living in cosmopolitan Bangkok and working at a language school. In short, my wardrobe was unacceptable. I had to spend a lot of money to update my work look to match my stylish coworkers.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Don\'t pack clothes you dislike. If you\'re unsure of what you\'ll need, just plan to buy new clothes in Thailand. You\'ll save money because most clothing in Thailand is quite affordable and you\'ll also be able to dress according to the job you get.</p>\n<p>3. I packed too many bulk items. Before coming to Thailand, I was under the impression that it would be utterly impossible to find basic things. (\"What if they don\'t have nail polish remover!?\") In the final days before my departure I hit the aisles of Target hard, stocking up on contact solution, cotton balls, shampoo, toothpaste etc. These items proved to be expensive and they took up a lot of space in my luggage. Imagine my surprise when I found all of the things that I had over packed readily available at Tesco Lotus for a fraction of what I\'d paid for them in America. Even my prescription medicine costs only half of its American price.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> You can find everything in Bangkok! Don\'t waste suitcase space with things you can pick up when you arrive.</p>\n<p>4. I brought the wrong shoes. For work, I packed hideous, clunky flats (see above school marm look). For every day use, I packed three pairs of flip flops, all of which fell to pieces after one month in Thailand. Athletic shoes, heels and walking shoes? Nope. Left them in America. (WHAT was I thinking leaving my sparkly Steve Madden pumps at home??) I\'ve had to spend a good deal of money updating my footwear since moving to Bangkok.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Pack footwear for all occasions. Pack comfortable shoes for walking, heels for going out, chic flats for work and water-resistant shoes for the rainy season.</p>\n<p>5. I didn\'t properly research culture shock. I figured that because I\'d traveled abroad before that I would be perfectly fine moving abroad. (\"I won\'t experience culture shock like a newbie traveler!\") I didn\'t understand that culture shock is more than just leaving the airport and noticing that tuk tuks have replaced mini-vans. Culture shock involves several stages, it can lasts months to years and it affects everyone differently. I wish I had been more prepared for the emotional ups and downs that accompany moving to a new country.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> The more prepared you can be regarding culture shock the better off you\'ll be. Once I was able to recognize whatever stage I found myself in, I was able to cope with the culture shock. Matador Network\'s article on culture shock is a good place to start.</p>\n<p>So, you can see that I did a lot wrong when I moved to Bangkok. But, of course, I got a few things right!</p>\n<h3>A few things I did right</h3>\n<p>1. I learned basic Thai. With the help of the internet and a beginner Thai book I was able to learn basic words and expressions that I\'d use every day. Knowing how to order food, ask questions, introduce myself and shop made a huge difference in my level of comfort during my first couple of months in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> If you\'re studying Thai, try to familiarize yourself with the Thai alphabet. It\'s challenging but it may come in handy. Basic reading skills will also make your new Thai world seem a little less foreign and scary.</p>\n<p>2. I learned about Thailand\'s history and culture. Researching Buddhism, history, geography and cultural norms of Thailand made my transition to life in Bangkok much easier.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> At least research cultural do\'s and don\'t\'s before arriving in Thailand. You don\'t want to offend a monk by bumping into him on your first day, do you?</p>\n<p>3. I made friends with Thai people. Before I left America, I made friends with several Thai students and teachers. This was great because I was able to get valuable advice and also great travel suggestions. And, when I arrived in Thailand I had several family connections I could call upon if I needed help.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Even if you don\'t know any Thai people personally, ask around! I found my friends through the internet, family and friends of a friend.</p>\n<p>4. I stocked up on cosmetics. Yes, I know I packed too many bulk items, but I am so glad that I over packed my makeup and other...ahem \"lady products.\" Because most makeup, facial and skin products in Thailand include whitening chemicals I knew it was important to bring these things with me. Let\'s be honest, I\'m already white enough!</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Stock up on any product that touches your skin because in Thailand it WILL contain whitening. My deodorant from Tesco has whitening in it. (Yay, white armpits?)</p>\n<p>5. I got a Kindle! Although it\'s quick and easy to find English language books in Bangkok, it\'s not so easy to lug those books across the world. My kindle has gotten me through long flights, overnight buses, traffic jams etc.</p>\n<p><strong>TIP:</strong> Use your Kindle to download travel guides. This will save space and lighten your backpack.</p>\n<p>Have you moved to Thailand? What are some things that you did right and wrong?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Don\'t forget to pay a visit to my <a href=\"http://www.myhotpinkpassport.com/\">own personal on-line blog</a> as well&nbsp;- see you there!</p>','','2013-07-01 06:54:52',1,'2013-07-01 06:54:52','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(14871,20,'Thailand vs China?','thailand-vs-china','Which country comes out on top for a TEFLer?','I taught English in China for 9 years.

Every day I remember something bad that happened to me on a regular basis in China that never happens to me in Thailand. Here is my opinion of the two countries if you put them up against each other - from the point of view of an English teacher of course.</p>\n<p><strong>The visa</strong> <strong>process</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand: The visa process in Thailand is much easier and the cost is zero. With an American passport, you can enter Thailand free. You can change your tourist visa to a \'work visa\' without leaving the country. There are reports from reputable sources that you cannot change an arrival visa to a \'work visa\', that you have to go to a Thai consulate and get a travelers visa, which is a bit expensive. I did not find this to be the case.</p>\n<p>I transferred an arrival visa to a \'work visa\' in 20 minutes with no complications. Your \'work visa\' is good for 3 months and getting a work permit takes only 2 months, so you have plenty of time, meanwhile you\'re working in Thailand legally. The key is to find a school with administrators familiar with the process. (But even that\'s no guarantee. Our school has a sharp FAO, but someone further up in the Ministry of Education didn\'t dot some i\'s or cross some tee\'s, so 2 out of 4 foreign teachers who made the trip to Bangkok had to return the following week because Immigration caught the undotted eyes and uncrossed tees - and our otherwise sharp FAO didn\'t.)</p>\n<p>OK, so then you have 3 months to get a teaching certificate, which involves taking a course and an exam. If you don\'t get the teaching certificate within 3 months, your school has to apply for an exemption. You keep applying for an exemption until you get the certificate. Also every 90 days is a trip to local immigration to show your face and announce that you\'re still working in Thailand. And of course, you have to register your residence with the police. Somewhere in this process is a health check. But the school pays for everything. BTW: I was told that you have to have a \'work visa\' to get a bank account, but I didn\'t and did.</p>\n<p>China: Compare this to China. Plan A: Get the paperwork from your school, travel to the nearest consulate, which except for people in large urban areas isn\'t near at all, travel back to your hometown, wait for the visa, then travel to the consulate again, then travel home again. (Last I checked, Chinese consulates don\'t process work visas by mail.)</p>\n<p>Plan B: Get a tourist visa in Hong Kong, visit the school, hope the FAO can get the paperwork within 30 days or get an extension to your tourist visa, go back to Hong Kong to get the work visa, then go back to your school. Before you go to Hong Kong, you have to get a health check. After you return from Hong Kong, you have to get a foreign expert certificate, then take the health certificate, foreign expert certificate, and work visa to the PSB to get a resident permit.</p>\n<p>Some of this the school pays for, a lot of it they don\'t. Generally, they won\'t pay for any expenses incurred outside the city where the school is located. And before any of this starts, you have to get a recommendation letter from your previous school and they have to cancel your foreign expert certificate. Oh and the school name on the recommendation letter has to be the same as the school name on the foreign expert certificate and the health certificate.</p>\n<p><strong>The students</strong></p>\n<p>The students are much more disciplined and much more receptive than Chinese students. In Thailand, the students\' attitude is \"OK, we\'re just going to have this lesson and learn some English and everything will be fine.\" In China, it was more like, \"But will this help me pass the exam?\" \"But I disagree with your teaching method.\" \"But I don\'t like your personality.\"</p>\n<p>At my last school in China, I wrote less than 10 common vegetables on the board and told them to write the vocabulary in their notebook. I got a memo from the principal that this was too much vocabulary for one lesson. Here in Thailand, I taught a somewhat sophisticated lesson on using the post office. Vocabulary included air, sea, postage, rate, delivery time, scale, weigh, weight, pack, ship, insure, certify, register, confirm, track, and return address. The students absorbed it all without a hint of difficulty or protest.</p>\n<p>The Thai and Chinese students were the same age. The Thai students view English skills as something they need and something they can master. Part of this is that the ASEAN Economic Community, with is just around the corner, will use English as its official language. Contrast this with Chinese students being told they need English because of China\'s entrance into the WTO. There was a lot of crazy English books, a lot of packed English corners, and a lot of students requesting practice time with their foreign teacher, not to mention hordes of university English majors.

How do we minimize offloading?</p>\n<p>On my 4th trip to Thailand last May 1st 2013, I was offloaded at Clark International Airport in The Philippines. I passed through this airport because of an attractive promotion offered by a certain airline. I didn\'t know that I would encounter a more costly trip instead. I happened to watch a public service TV program. A lady was complaining on TV about her offloading experience at Clark International Airport. The lady said the immigration officer did not let her pass through because the immigration officer did not believe that her sponsor, a cousin of hers, was in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Then the immigration officer became suspicious that she would be seeking&nbsp;work in Thailand. The lady insisted she would not but when the officer asked for her credentials, the officer noticed her documents were not authenticated by Malacanang (without red ribbons). So she was held by the authorities. What about her&nbsp;return ticket? It was ridiculous. She would only visit her cousin and yet she was required to have her credentials authenticated.</p>\n<p>That same&nbsp;experience happened to me. When I checked in&nbsp;three hours before departure, I showed my ticket, passport and exit clearance to the lady officer. She told me to validate my exit clearance from the POEA (Philippine Overseas Employment Administration) section. Two officers attended to me - asked for&nbsp;my exit clearance, my passport, work contract, and work permit. They asked why I had stayed in the country for more than 5 days. I told them that&nbsp;I had&nbsp;had cataract surgery. They asked for a&nbsp;medical certificate or a&nbsp;doctor\'s prescription, but I had nothing to show.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t bring what they asked for because those things are not usually&nbsp;required for&nbsp;passing through immigration.&nbsp;To my knowledge, most of the things&nbsp;required are - why are you going to Thailand, what\'s your job, where will you stay in Thailand, are you going to work there, how much money do you have , do you have an invitation and so forth, but not the medical certificate.</p>\n<p>Then they doubted the authenticity of my exit clearance -&nbsp;just to find further&nbsp;fault. They asked me why I got it from SM Manila (Shoe Mart), a mall in Manila and not at the main office of the POEA. I told them there was a big billboard before leaving immigration at the MIA saying ....for convenience&nbsp;you can get exit clearance at the airport, POA Head Office, and SM Manila.</p>\n<p>Then one guy turned his laptop on. He even told me to wait a little while. It took him an&nbsp;eternity to get a wi-fi signal. Imagine an international airport without an internet connection. Then they told me they would call up my employer. I told them that&nbsp;the phone number&nbsp;was in the contract. He was dialing his cell phone looking at the topmost portion of the contract and then said \"there\'s no answer\". I soon found out when I got the contract back there was no number on the&nbsp;top portion of the contract but it was written below the contract -&nbsp;so he was only pretending. I pleaded to them to let me pass through immigration&nbsp;because I had&nbsp;friends waiting for me on&nbsp;that day in Thailand, but to&nbsp;no avail.<br /><br />They advised me to go the POEA outside the airport. I did that,&nbsp;but the POEA office was closed&nbsp;because it was Labor Day. So I gave up and returned to Manila. Then I proceeded to the Manila International Airport and got a new ticket. At the airport, it was not difficult for me to have my exit clearance validated for my exit clearance was valid up to 2015. The officer was even surprised why I was offloaded in Clark.</p>\n<p>I told him the reason so he gave me a form stating why I had&nbsp;stayed so&nbsp;long in the Philippines. Overwhelmed by the help of this officer, I dropped a note in the suggestion box to commend him for being so helpful and kind to all who approached him. When I got my ticket I was able to get my exit clearance for only 100 pesos as an OFW.</p>\n<p>I wonder why Clark International Airport and Manila International Airport have different policies! I was allowed in MIA Terminal 3 but denied in Clark airport. I couldn\'t help asking myself, \"Do immigration officers who offload legitimate passengers get a cut from the airline?\" I met one Filipino ticketing officer&nbsp;Filipino from an airline here in Thailand and asked about the whole \"offloading business. She nodded and said that in her knowledge, there are a lot of cases like this, which she called&nbsp;\"under the table\" negotiations - but nothing has been done about it. I researched the topic&nbsp;on the internet. There were a lot of complaints about people being treated like I was.</p>\n<p>Some friends of mine&nbsp;shared their own experiences. The first one was a lady who was on her way&nbsp;to take care of a teacher\'s son. She was offloaded because the immigration officer believed that the teacher could not get a work permit for her relative. Another was a teacher who planned to go to Thailand to visit a friend and&nbsp;was not allowed to go because immigration insisted that she would work in Thailand. Recently, one colleague mentioned that her \"nanny\" was offloaded because the nanny was under 18.</p>\n<p>So how do we avoid being offloaded? I have asked those who were victims and some friends and they said:</p>\n<p>1. Bring a copy of all your legal documents when travelling to another country. Include medical certificates if necessary so that when your travel is in question you have evidence to show the immigration officer.<br />2. If you want to travel on a public holiday and you\'re near Terminal 3 in Manila, depart there because they have offices for your travel needs.<br />3. Review your notes on Pre-departure Orientation Seminar prior to departure if you are an OFW.<br />4. If you are touring Thailand,&nbsp;only have&nbsp;light baggage, sufficient spending&nbsp;money, and give the officer the impression you are not going to work there.<br />5. Be ready with your visa cards, ATM cards or bank books to show you can support yourself.<br />6. Ask for advice from friends/ travel agents on how to answer immigration officer questions.<br />7. Have your authenticated credentials authenticated by Malacanang (with red ribbons).<br />8. When sponsored, have the letter of sponsorship plus the sponsor\'s Xerox copies of his/her passport,, work permit, contract, etc. (with translation if possible).<br />9.&nbsp;Make your old passport available&nbsp;to show that you have&nbsp;travelled to&nbsp;other countries&nbsp;already. Frequent travelers are always given priority.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know why Filipino immigration officers are so strict in allowing their legitimate countrymen (those who have the basic documents) to go out of the country. Don\'t our countrymen have the right to travel? Why&nbsp;are strict regulations imposed to legally employed Filipinos in other countries who merely take&nbsp;a vacation?</p>\n<p>Why do they have to be inconsiderate at the expense of our countrymen who borrow or even sell their properties just to be able to go abroad? It is okay if the traveler is questionable. But for those like me who have the right to travel, who have a valid&nbsp;re-entry permit from Thailand, have a contract and work permit, return ticket and exit clearance, the officers&nbsp;should let me go without&nbsp;incurring more&nbsp;expense.&nbsp;My cataract operation&nbsp;had cost me more than 40,000 pesos already. They should have also given me consideration as a senior citizen as a sign of respect.</p>\n<p>Fortunately I was able to sort out things and return to Thailand within 24 hours. What if I did not have the resources? I guess it\'s high time for the Philippine government to look into the offloading problems of so many Filipinos -&nbsp;especially those with tickets bought through promotions. The poor Filipino is jeopardized here. Their hard earned money is&nbsp;wasted even&nbsp;when not necessary.</p>','','2013-07-09 21:07:30',1,'2013-07-09 21:07:30','2013-07-10 11:11:31'),(14894,10,'Thai dilemmas','thai-dilemmas','Here\'s the full list','I guess they are just observations on life as a foreigner in Thailand.

Whenever I go to the Thai restaurant back in Falmouth (big ups to Mali Thai - good food and bring your own booze - what more could you want?) I exclusively order Red Curry with coconut rice, oh and maybe some spring rolls. But that is it. Despite having been to Thailand myself, my Thai menu was limited to three things.</p>\n<p>Now I am living over here, and I very rarely eat any of my three go-to Thai dishes. In fact, it is almost impossible to track down a Red Curry where I live, and until recently I couldn\'t find anywhere that would cook Pad Thai. Over the past ten months I have been on a culinary adventure, starting off only being able to order one thing (Khao Pad Gai - chicken fried rice - for lunch again anyone?) until my fledgling Thai language abilities enabled me to begin to order new dishes which I soon realised tasted far better than what I had stuck to before.</p>\n<p>Thai food is an attack on the senses with its combination of four key flavours; sweet, salty, sour and spicy. Each dish will lean more towards one or two, but they are all there. Sweetness is brought to you by spoonfuls of sugar, sourness with vinegar or lime. Spiciness from chilies; red, green or yellow, and saltiness from nam blaa - fish sauce. It\'s all about the balance of the four flavours - although the thought of eating fish sauce, which stinks to high heaven when being added to the stir-fry, may put you off - without it the meal wouldn\'t quite taste right.</p>\n<p>Once the dish is brought to your table you can further adjust the flavours by adding your own condiments from the table. Usually there will be a pot of sugar, a sour chili sauce, chopped chilies in fish sauce and chopped green chilies in white vinegar. Much like the salt and pepper you would get at home.</p>\n<p>Thai food is widely varied and I haven\'t touched the surface when it comes to sampling everything on offer, so here is my top five for food in Thailand, in no particular order.</p>\n<p><strong>1. Pad Grapow Moo - stir-fried pork with holy basil and chili</strong></p>\n<p>I first tried this dish in a beach side restaurant on Koh Samui during my stay on the island for my TEFL training. A few of us had gone to find the Grandmother and Grandfather rocks (see my post here for when I finally actually went to visit them again) but I was either tired or hungover or just lazy, because when I saw a hint of having to walk slightly uphill I opted out and found myself a seat overlooking the beach in a nice looking restaurant. I wasn\'t particularly hungry so I thought I would order something different just to try it.</p>\n<p>It was really tasty and quickly became a firm favourite of mine from then on. For a while I was eating this every other day, sometimes two days in a row. We had found a restaurant in the village that we moved to and this was the only thing that we knew that they could cook for us. It varies from place to place, sometimes using minced pork, other times thinly sliced instead. Some places throw in some carrots too. It\'s usually served on rice with a fried egg, but as I don\'t eat fried eggs I sometimes have a little omelette or nothing at all. Pad Grapow is usually pretty fiery and the fragrance brought to it by the holy basil gives it a unique taste that I really love.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Pad See Ew - fried noodles with dark soy sauce and vegetables</strong></p>\n<p>When I discovered that I wasn\'t able to easily order Pad Thai, this quickly became my go-to for when I need that noodle fix. Stodgy and filling, with a bit of green veg to boot. Something I miss about Western food is the portion sizes. The majority of your plate in Thailand will wither be noodles or rice - it\'s a carb fest out here. At least there\'s not so much bread; I think that was my downfall back at home. Portions of meat are small and I don\'t mind that, it\'s the equally small helpings of vegetables that I wish were bigger. Anyway, I digress. Pad See Ew can use a variety of noodles from wide and thick to thin and yellow. I always give mine a helping hand with a spoonful of chili sauce. This dish is particularly good when hungover. It\'s not quite a full English but it helps to soak up any leftover booze.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Moo Klob - crispy belly pork with sweet Chinese sauce</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m a lover of pork belly and this is the one way I am able to get my fix of roasted meat. The pork is roasted, or maybe boiled, and then fried so it is a perfect mix of falling apart flesh and crispy fat. The sweet sauce is a welcome change from the same-same-ness of many Thai stir-fries and at this particular shop you also get a serving of sweet Thai sausage which kind of has the consistency and appearance of a cured sausage like chorizo, but a completely different flavour. Again, I spice this up; this time with sliced green chilies in white vinegar, which the owner of the food place seemed to suggest was the normal accompaniment. We go to one particular food seller for this favourite, aptly named by us as Moo Klob shop.</p>\n<p>The thing is with living in &lsquo;real\' Thailand is that menus are written in Thai script so unless you can read Thai you have to use your spoken Thai and knowledge of what that particular place have on offer. This place is owned by what I assume is a husband and wife pairing, and they are really lovely. The first few times we went in they excitedly showed us which sauce went with which dish, and they took much enjoyment in offering Tom a bowl of tiny raw garlic cloves, \"For spice!!\" and watching him munch them down. Safe to say our home was vampire free for the next three days!<br /><br /><strong>4. Khao Yum Gai Sap - breaded chicken with raw cabbage, carrot and onion, with a spicy and sour sauce, on top of rice</strong></p>\n<p>Another restaurant specific dish, this time brought to you by P.Noi, the lady whose food place (I suppose you can\'t really call it a restaurant as it has no walls and bare earth as the floor) is right across the street from my school. This is a one-woman-one-wok establishment and she cooks anything she has the ingredients for. This lady is responsible for my first-tastes of many a Thai dish, including this one.</p>\n<p>Actually, the first time I tried this I had seen a student with it on her plate and used what is probably my most useful Thai phrase to date - \"...nee arrai ka?\" - What is this? - I had never heard of this dish but I could see it was spicy, and the fact that it was mixed with lots of yummy raw veg instantly attracted me to it; it\'s hard to get my salad kick out here without going to S&amp;P and spending 150 THB (which admittedly is little over &pound;3.00!). You can order this dish without the rice by leaving the khao off the beginning as you order.<br /><br /><strong>5. Kai Teow Son Kruen - omelette stuffed with minced chicken/pork, vegetables and chili sauce</strong></p>\n<p>Compiling this list I almost forgot this beauty of a dish, mostly because I didn\'t know the Thai name for it (I do now, thanks to Teacher Oh) and so only order it when (you guessed it) I go to one particular restaurant (a really good Muslim place opposite Lee Gardens in Hat Yai - they have a menu in English which is a rarity) or when I am with Thai people. Some places don\'t do this because I guess it\'s a little fiddly. It\'s something that is definitely on my learn to cook list especially now I have a fully operational kitchen (even with a sink now that The Man has installed one!).</p>\n<p>This is a thin omelette which has minced meat and veg (usually carrots, onions, maybe peppers - all diced nice and small) in a yummy, mildly spicy sauce placed in the middle.

Attractions include the relaxed way of life, the access to international fare - particularly if you live along the BTS or MRT system in Bangkok and of course the delicious and healthy local food.</p>\n<p>Or perhaps you are a \'serial expat\' and have already had some memorable adventures living in other Asian countries such as S. Korea or China teaching English, or involved in other businesses and just want to give Thailand a try to see if all the rumors are true :)</p>\n<p>For regular readers of Ajarn.com and this blog, it is easy for us to forget that information and lifestyles that we take for granted are alien and indeed strange for some newcomers to Bangkok and Thailand. However we know that each and every day new expats come to Bangkok to start up their lives on a temporary or even permanent basis. For those arriving in Bangkok they have so much to get used to - the language, the alphabet (sorry still can\'t read it after all this time), the culture, the smells and of course the idiosyncratic ways that are well.....just Thai!</p>\n<p>All the above can take  great deal of time to absorb, but something that newcomers can learn reasonably quickly is how the Bangkok real estate market works. We know that ii each country and even each city around the world different rules apply, but here is a brief look at how the Bangkok real estate market pans out, and by the time you have finished this article, I hope you are on a much stronger footing.</p>\n<p><strong>Rental by the month</strong><br />Ok, firstly prices you see advertised to lease properties are listed by the month on most websites. I know that some cities like London will state prices by the week (I guess so that they sound cheaper), but as Bangkok is still one of the best value major cities of the world in terms of property the prices are still kept as a monthly amount.</p>\n<p><strong>Two months deposit</strong><br />In Bangkok there are various industry standards and one of them is that the landlord will take 2 months deposit, whether you rent a condo, apartment, townhouse or detached house for residential purposes regardless of the length of the contract. This is basically non-negotiable. If you are offered a property and the landlord is willing to allow you to place down less than a 2-month deposit, alarm bells should start ringing in your head, rather than the sound of champagne corks popping.</p>\n<p>The reason I state this is because there is usually one of the following reasons why the landlord is so desperate to take a 1-month deposit:</p>\n<p>1.	He knows something about the place that you have not yet noticed (but is generally won\'t be something good)</p>\n<p>2.	He is unaware of how the professional real estate market works and the standards in Bangkok. Therefore he may also be under the misconception that this deposit does not have to be repaid. At the end of the day if someone is acting unusually it is never a good sign, it can  be a case of \'penny wise, pound foolish\' to try to take advantage of it.</p>\n<p>Over the years we have heard some horror stories, especially of first time expats of any age, gender, experience etc being taken advantage of by unscrupulous landlords. To avoid such problems it is always best to use a respectable and <a href=\" http://www.easyhomes.tv/\">professional real estate agency</a>&nbsp;to broker the deal for you.  This way you have the secure knowledge the landlord will return your deposit fairly and on time.</p>\n<p>A respectable and registered property agent will have not only historical reference to the properties and landlords they recommend, but also can be there for you if any problems arise. At the end of the day landlords are in business and like any wise business people they want to for lasting and beneficial relationships with local businesses such as agencies. It is therefore not in their interests to cheat or upset the client of a respectable well established real estate agent in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>There are also some urban myths and misconceptions about renting a property in Bangkok, and <a href=\"/blogs/neil-mcdonough/myths-and-misconceptions-regarding-real-estate-in-bangkok-and-thailand/\">I have covered them earlier in another blog</a>. However as mentioned by using a professional reliable real estate agency the pitfalls should all be avoided</p>\n<p><strong>One month advance</strong><br />The second requirement that is also industry standard and required is one month\'s advance, again regardless of the length of the contract. Again if the landlord tells you something different then it\'s best to walk away.</p>\n<p><strong>Buying property</strong><br />This is not usually a subject that new expats arriving in Bangkok or Thailand are that interested in. However if this is your plan then <a href=\"/blogs/neil-mcdonough/how-a-foreigner-can-buy-real-estate-in-thailand/\">I suggest you read this blog</a>. And once again I strongly urge you to contact a respectable, reliable and registered real estate agent to help you. We have heard too many dreadful stories of expats getting their fingers burned on property purchases in Thailand, and as always most of them could have been avoided with the right advice from the start.<br /><br />I hope the above article was helpful. Of course it has only just scratched the surface in regards to living in Bangkok and even dealing in the real estate market, but you have hopefully taken your first step now and can make the second step with more confidence.</p>','','2013-07-25 19:16:20',1,'2013-07-25 19:16:20','2013-07-26 09:09:21'),(14945,77,'Thailand: the land of smiles and helpful hands','thailand-the-land-of-smiles-and-helpful-hands','Even in the darkest moments, people genuinely want to help','We soon realised that something more serious was going on. A knife appeared. A big, scary knife. Things start to feel a bit more real when there\'s a knife involved.','<p>We actually made it out of the door in good time for school so of course we were bound to get a flat tyre, such is the nature of sod\'s law.  And this was no little flat tyre - we are talking super puncture, jump off the bike and hopelessly walk about a sleepy village in the already searing sun kind of flat tyre.</p>\n<p>Luckily for us this is Thailand, and within 20 seconds a couple of elderly women sat sipping chai yen in the shade were gesturing down the street to us, in the direction of the nearest place that could help us.  It wasn\'t even 8 am so we were doubtful that anyone would be open.  Every few people that we would pass, someone would continue to gesture down the street.  When we reached the first place that was inevitably closed, it wasn\'t long before another set of helpful people were sending us off to the next potential place.</p>\n<p>When we got there they obviously weren\'t open but as usual, this business place also doubled as a family home and before long we were being offered a seat and the bike was whisked off by a young man still dressed in the boxers he slept in.  As we waited for the tyre change I was shown a baby with fifteen chins by a proud grandmother, and after a few minutes we were back on our way to school.</p>\n<p>If none of those people had shown us which direction to walk in we would have been searching for an age - this village is a real rabbit warren of a place.  Even though they couldn\'t speak our language they saw that we needed a hand.  And bless the guy for getting his hands dirty when he hadn\'t even had his breakfast or even put on any clothes!</p>\n<p>This is just a perfect example of how helpful the people in Thailand are.  If you\'ve got a problem, they will try their best to help you to find a solution.</p>\n<p>Another example of this unfortunately also shows the darker side of Thailand.</p>\n<p>A couple of months ago at the start of the term, a new teacher was staying at our house until she could sort out a place of her own.  We were on our way home, using a relatively quiet road that runs behind our school back to our village.  It\'s a lovely stretch of road, meandering through rubber farms and large spaces of unspoiled land (proudly earmarked for new development, as the signs boast).  We were driving home in convoy, The Man and I on our bike and the new teacher just behind.</p>\n<p>A couple of guys whizzed past us, waving.  A few hundred metres on they were pulled up at the side of the road, gesturing for us to pull over as they had no fuel.  There was no way we could help them so we shrugged and carried on.  After a few minutes, The Man and I heard something awry behind us and turned to see the two guys right up next to the new teacher as she drove along the road.</p>\n<p>I thought that they were just messing around, but we soon realised that something more serious was going on when they were pulling the key out of her bike so that she rolled to a stop.  A knife appeared.  A big, scary knife.  Things start to feel a bit more real when there\'s a knife involved.  Within seconds they were wrestling her bag from the bike while waving the knife in all our directions before making off, leaving us in shock at the side of the road.</p>\n<p>Within about 30 seconds, the first of many people stopped to see if we were OK.  Despite being unable to speak our language they were so eager to try and find out what had happened and to try to help us.  Phone calls to the police were made.  People drove ahead to look for any sign of where the men may have gone. It was clear that we were in a bit of a crisis situation and unfortunately in the UK it is often the case that people will actively avoid getting involved, keeping their heads down, pretending not to see.</p>\n<p>It was a crazy situation - we went from seeing Thailand\'s ugliest side to seeing it\'s most golden.  People were apologising for what had happened, and those apologies were sincere.  These people were on their way home from work or were on the school run, small children in the backs of pick-ups moaning that they want to get home.</p>\n<p>We even met a little boy who had just finished his first day at school - excitedly keen to get home to his mother to tell her all about it - but instead he sat bewildered at the side of the road, at one point sweetly picking a flower and giving it to us - kids have that sixth sense and always know when something\'s up, I guess.</p>\n<p>After a couple of hours at the roadside completing police reports and posing for photographs (not for any official reason - for the officers\' personal collections - look, the day I helped a farang!), we made our way back to the village.  A crowd had already gathered outside our house.  Further apologies were made, a sea of sorry faces, genuine with concern.</p>\n<p>For the next few days, people would stop us and ask us about what had happened - usually utilising the medium of mime, as none of our Thai is quite good enough. More apologies.  Even now, a few months on, we still meet the odd person who asks us about it, pointing in the direction of the road that it happened on and shaking their head.</p>\n<p>What happened was really unfortunate for the new teacher.  Even just watching it left me shook up and unsure.  A wave of distrust swept over me.  But the show of support that we saw left a much warmer feeling, once the darkness subsided.</p>\n<p>There will always be bad people wherever you are in the world, but in Thailand people overwhelmingly want to help you.  Whether it is the influence of being a largely Buddhist nation, or simply the way of the people - this innate need to help is one of the reasons that Thailand is known as The Land of Smiles.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2013-07-27 06:10:36',1,'2013-07-27 06:10:36','2013-07-27 20:08:37'),(14949,71,'Sneaky little cheaters','sneaky-little-cheaters','The joy of midterm exams','Midterms means a week of sitting bored out of our minds in classrooms with students that usually aren\'t ours. I feel bad for the students; I\'m bored, and they\'re having to sit there and take test after useless test.','<p>Well, midterms have come and gone for a lot of schools in Thailand. I think the general feeling among the teachers is \"oh, joy, midterms...\" with a highly sarcastic tone. Midterms means a week of sitting bored out of our minds in classrooms with students that usually aren\'t ours. I feel bad for the students; I\'m bored, and they\'re having to sit there and take test after useless test.</p>\n<p>So, to entertain myself, I like to do things like sing entire albums in my head. I sometimes surprise myself by remembering almost every word to an album I last heard in high school. Depending on my co-proctor (or invigilator, as I\'ve come to learn), I may even be somewhat productive and grade papers or prepare lessons. But eventually, this gets boring as well, and I must find another way to amuse myself.</p>\n<p>Typically, this means watching the students. This is a good thing, really, being that watching them is my whole point in being there-in theory, anyway. My first thing to do: count the minutes (or seconds) until they start to fall asleep. The harder the test, the quicker the heads hit the desk. Once a good half of them are snoring, the remainder of them begin sending and receiving [usually incorrect] answers via often elaborate systems.</p>\n<p>What\'s funny to me now, as perhaps it was to my teachers when I was their age, is that I\'ve been there. I\'ve sat through ridiculous tests. I\'ve tried to cheat before. I was never very good at it, so I usually didn\'t bother... but I\'ve been there. It\'s as if the students think we don\'t notice... but in reality, depending on the teacher, it\'s that we don\'t really care.</p>\n<p>I take that back. I care to the level that my Thai co-proctor does. If the other teacher cares, I care. But, being that midterms and finals are all quite the set-up to begin with, I don\'t make it personal to stop ALL the cheating I see; having done several rounds of these before, I\'ve realized it\'s largely pointless. I mean, come on... even if they fail for cheating (which at my school NEVER happens), they just get to retake-usually meaning that I personally have to proctor them again-and they must past regardless.</p>\n<p>We know that as teachers. They know that as students. So really, it\'s up to us to put on a good show of good character enforcement. My favorite is giving them \"the look.\" That stern, slightly sly look that is universal: \"I know what you\'re doing, and we both know you shouldn\'t.\" Occasionally I\'ll tap on their desks as I walk by with said look. Honestly, this does quite a lot to curb the dishonesty... far more than it would do in an American school. But unless the Thai teacher in charge makes an issue out of it, I don\'t typically take it any further.</p>\n<p>So, when I\'m not being the good character police, I\'ve amused myself by categorizing the students.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>You have your casually-glance-around-as-I-stretch students. Those are always funny. How often do you really need to pop your back in ten minutes?<br />Then, there are the ones who lay their heads to one side in an attempt to look determined to answer a particularly grueling problem. Let\'s face it, most of us have been there. Obviously, aside from an attempt to sleep away the pain, this is a surefire way to see half of the answers on the next desk over.</p>\n<p>The more clever ones have already worked out a secret code. Three pats of the hand: number 3. A tap of the middle finger: C. 3=C. I like those. Of course, the trick is to do so A) without the teacher noticing, and B) WITH the other code-deciphering student noticing. I was never that clever, so I\'ve got to hand it to them. Even if I tried to make a code, I would have forgotten it. Just like my studying efforts, really.</p>\n<p>Those feeling particularly helpful will hold up their papers from their desks, obviously attempting to scrutinize the answers they have already written... with the oh so unfortunate side effect of everyone behind and beside them being able to read the answers too. Oh! I didn\'t know they could see it! I can\'t speak Thai, but I was a student before. I know how it goes.</p>\n<p>My favorites, though, are the ones that don\'t bother to hide cheating at all. \"Hey, what\'s number seven?\" always garners general classroom laughter. Sure, this would get you expelled in most Western countries, but this is Thailand. Relax.</p>\n<p>The fact that the point of midterms, at least in my school, is to prove that the teachers are smarter than the students (aka, the more fail, it seems, the better) is a whole different story. So is the fact that the midterms I write are typically re-written by my Thai co-teachers to include any number of items not even remotely related to what I\'ve been teaching. I\'ve learned just to let it slide, and ensure the students\' other scores can level-out the bad grades on midterms that truly are unfair to the students.</p>\n<p>If Thailand has taught me nothing else, it\'s this: hey, if you can\'t see the funny side of something, why bother looking at all?</p>','','2013-07-29 17:12:25',1,'2013-07-29 17:12:25','2013-07-30 07:07:26'),(14959,73,'Welcome to Bang Sue','welcome-to-bang-sue','Life on the outskirts of Bangkok','“You live where??” I usually receive looks of concern from my students when I tell them that I live in the neighborhood of Bang Sue, about an hour away from our school.

From my friends, I receive childish giggles. Yes, I get it. Ha Ha.  Many people wonder why I would live so far away from my job and my friends. They wonder what it\'s like all the way out in Bang Sue! Well, I\'d like to tell you a little bit about my life in Bang Sue and my thoughts about living in Bangkok\'s outskirts.</p>\n<p>Let me introduce you to Bang Sue. Take the MRT north the whole way to the end of the line. You\'ll be joined with many commuters who live even further afield but work in the city. Exit the station and you\'ll notice the Bang Sue Train Station and hear an announcement for the next train to Ayutthaya or Surat Thani. The open air train station is a lively scene with a mess of food stands, travelers with multi-colored bags piled up and stray dogs nosing around.  Turn the opposite way and flag down a motorcycle taxi from the group of men clad in orange vests or wander around by foot.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Karisa3.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Cross under the new MRT train construction site that is quickly being completed. Pass the large Tesco Lotus, outside of which is a booming clothing and food market. Zoom past manicured sidewalks lined with leafy potted plants and stately portraits of the King. Take in the placid canals and garden walks complete with picturesque bridges. Have a smile at active Thais working out on the free exercise stations.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Karisa4.JPG\" width=\"225\" /></p>\n<p>You\'ll surely pass gaggles of school kids decked in blue and white with strawberry Fanta in their hands. You may even notice a few large and imposing government buildings, brand new condo high rises alongside old colonial-looking homes and a few 711\'s. This is Bang Sue. It\'s not fancy or glitzy or trying to impress you. Bang Sue showcases regular life in Bangkok and for that I love it.</p>\n<p><strong>Reasons Why Bang Sue is a Good Place to Live</strong></p>\n<p>&bull;	Easy Access to Public Transportation - Bang Sue is just a quick moto taxi ride away from the Bang Sue MRT or Mo Chit BTS. These stops are the ends of the lines and they connect me with the rest of Bangkok! While my MRT ride to work is generally half an hour, because I\'m the first one on the train I always get a seat! I\'m also close to the Mo Chit Bus Terminal and Bang Sue Train Station, which makes it very easy to leave the city on day trips. If you\'re interested in using the Chao Phraya River boats, Bang Sue is not far from Kiak Kai Pier.</p>\n<p>&bull;	It\'s Quiet - Unlike living in the busy city center, I\'m not bombarded with the roar of highway traffic or other noisy city sounds. The worst thing I hear from my window is the fruit vendor calling out, \"Ou sapporot mai krap?\"</p>\n<p>&bull;	Lovely Canals - I enjoy taking walks around Prachacheun Street along the many canals. They are lined with beautiful gardens, benches and exercise stations.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Proximity to Nature - Beyond the above mentioned canal gardens Bang Sue is also quite close to Chatuchak Park and Rot Fai Park.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Proximity to Great Shopping - My main bragging point in living in Bang Sue is that I can shop at JJ Market any time I want! It\'s also easy to grab a quick beer at the antique Rot Fai Market. There are also little clothing markets nearby.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Street Food - My soi has a nice mix of Thai street food. My favorites are the fried chicken, Thai custard, Khao Man Gai  and of course the friendly fruit vendor. There is also a huge food market near our Lotus shop where you can get any Thai dish you like.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Karisa2.JPG\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Positives about Living Away from the City Center</strong></p>\n<p>&bull;	Cheaper Rent - I pay a third of what I would pay in most apartments in more central areas. This isn\'t true in every case, of course, but generally you pay for that prime location downtown!</p>\n<p>&bull;	Less Air Pollution - Obviously, the air isn\'t as clear as it is in the countryside, but compared to SiLom you\'ll breathe deeper in the outskirts.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Less Noisy - Unless you\'re unfortunate enough to live beside the highway, neighborhoods on the outskirts are considerably quieter than centrally located ones. It feels great to escape the chaos of the city.</p>\n<p>&bull;	&lsquo;Local\' Atmosphere - Living on the outskirts of Bangkok means living far away from tourist Bangkok. This is Bangkok as it is, not as it is while catering to visitors. There are no drunk backpackers out here!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Karisa5.JPG\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Negatives about Living Away from the City Center </strong></p>\n<p>&bull;	Long  Commute - If you work in the city center like I do, spending an extra hour on the train every day can be draining and expensive.</p>\n<p>&bull;	All Your Friends Live Far Away - My best friends live in Sathron, which means an hour and fifteen minute journey with 3 train transfers to visit them.  Meeting for a quick drink in Thong Lor can feel like a real chore.</p>\n<p>&bull;	You\'ll Have to Take Taxis - If you\'re out later than the BTS runs then you\'ll be spending at least 100 baht getting home. My friends further out spend double that to get home from the center of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>&bull;	You\'re Far From the Night Life - Other than a few karaoke stands, there\'s not a lot of bars or clubs out where I live. My friends\' and my favorite places are all downtown, anyway which inevitably means a long taxi ride home at the end of the night.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Few English Speakers - Because your neighborhood will have mostly local Thais, you could find fewer people who speak English. This could also mean that your apartment manager, food vendors and taxi drivers speak only Thai.  This can be a good way to practice your Thai, but it may leave you frustrated.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Few Expats - Far away from the popular expat scenes like Sukhumvit, you may feel less connected to other people like yourself. This could lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation-or it could help you make more Thai friends!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Karisa1.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>So, is it better to live on the outskirts or in Bangkok\'s city center? Well, it\'s all about personal preference. Do you value nightlife over peace and quiet? Do you prefer an all English or and all Thai environment? Is a short commute important to you? I think there are good and bad things about living far away.  Find what suits you best and enjoy!</p>\n<p>Personally, I\'ve enjoyed the peace and quiet of Bang Sue, but after my lease ends I\'m hoping to move closer to my friends and work. I\'d love to hear your opinions! Do you live near the center or outskirts of Bangkok? Which do you prefer?</p>\n<p>Note: Before you jump to the comments to complain that Bang Sue isn\'t the outskirts of Bangkok, hear me out. Obviously, Bang Sue isn\'t as far away as Fashion Island or Rangsit but it\'s not centrally located like Silom or Sukhumvit . By &lsquo;outskirts\' I simply mean not the city center.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Don\'t forget to pay a visit to my own <a href=\"http://www.myhotpinkpassport.com/\">personal on-line blog</a> as well -&nbsp;see you there!</p>','','2013-07-31 22:38:31',1,'2013-07-31 22:38:31','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(14966,59,'Unending speaking day','unending-speaking-day','Ideas to get your students speaking English','I had the rare privilege of attending an English seminar facilitated by one of the most sought-after language speakers in Thailand, Mr Andrew Biggs.

This happened two terms ago during a seminar in Sainoi, Nonthaburi.  I was able to get many ideas in making Thai students like English. One of these ideas is through auto-suggestion by way of reciting everyday ... I am getting better and better every day at English.</p>\n<p>From the time I started this practice.   I was so delighted    to hear my students  recite it  like a mantra. So I thought of sustaining it by letting them share  what  they could say, ask, answer, name, and tell. Last semester I taught them what they could say in the first week.</p>\n<p>They would reply when asked, \"How are you?\" with \"I am fine thank you, and I am getting better and better every day at English\" I can say: Hello. Hi. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Good night. In the 2nd week, they learned, I can ask: What\'s your name? How old are you? What grade are you in? Who is your teacher? What is the name of your school?</p>\n<p>In the 3rd week I taught them, \"I can answer: My name is______. I am _____ years old. I am in Grade ____.My teacher is____. My school is _________.</p>\n<p>In class when  asked what they could say, they enumerated the greetings. When asked  what they could  ask, they asked personal info questions. If asked what they could  answer, they answered.... My name is, I am......</p>\n<p>As students were repeating this  for three months during the flag ceremony and before starting my classes, I was so delighted  that my students indeed felt more comfortable with English. The better ones could read  with confidence, so many of them could  spell pretty well, the enthusiastic ones used simple  English expressions, and the not so good ones caught up a little with the better ones. Even the less attentive students actively participated. In class, if a student could recite at least one category he/she earned a point. But if they could recite  more categories they could earn more points. At the end of the month, the highest pointer of each grade level was awarded during the flag ceremony.</p>\n<p>In the succeeding weeks, I taught them what they could tell... the days of the week. They said, \"I can tell the days  of the week... Sunday,Monday, Tuesday.... A after that,\"I can name the 10  ASEAN countries.\" ,\"I can count 1-10\", \" I can count by tens\"&nbsp;Actually there are a lot of things the students can do. They can , name the months of the year,  enumerate what they play, like, drink, read, watch, listen, go to , love, etc.</p>\n<p>To reinforce the things they learned, during the flag ceremony, selected students were assigned to say each category. One student would present what he/she could say. Another student would recite what he/she could ask. The 3rd student would say what she could answer. The 4th one would name the days of the week, and the 5th one would name the ASEAN countries. This was done from level 1- 6. Every grade level had 5 speakers. They first introduced themselves said their name, age and grade, said their piece and ended with a thank you.  It was very rewarding for the not so good students for even if they could recite only one category they still got the appreciation of everybody.  They felt as if they had accomplished something great.</p>\n<p>I also applied  what I learned from a Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project teacher who used to require his students to ask questions before entering his room.  I wrote   the structures the students learned on pieces of papers, which the students had to draw out from a box, read,  and answer.</p>\n<p>Before I attended Andrew Biggs\' seminar,  I ran out of speaking gimmicks to present in our morning activities   but with what I do now, I have a lot.

It is the topic of cautionary tales of people being debilitated for weeks, plagued with a fever, unable to move. Nicknamed the Bone Breaking disease. Fellow teachers and expats who have been here for long enough each have their When I had Dengue stories akin to the Back in ‘Nam tales of an army veteran.','<p>On Tuesday morning both The Man and I were sent to the hospital from school when we both broke out in a strange rash, parts of me were swelling up and he was feeling rough.  We chose a mid-range hospital (a lack of travel insurance helped us with that decision... note to self: renew travel insurance!); we didn\'t opt for the government offering of Hatyai Hospital (not purely based on snobbery but also because of waiting times, other people\'s experiences...) and also not opting for the most expensive but wonderfully luxurious Bangkok Hospital with its polished marble floors and chandeliers.  We found ourselves at Rajyindee Hospital.  After the initial greeting of nurses looking from one another urging the other to greet the farang...</p>\n<p>You say hello.<br />No, you do it.<br />But it\'s your turn.<br />But we all know you watch those American TV shows.<br />What if they have some farang disease?<br />(all communicated through glances to the side and awkward facial expressions).</p>\n<p>...a friendly English speaking nurse was hurried across to guide us through the process of registering and listing our ailments.  She proclaimed that we should go to the skin doctor - AHA!  A rash!  How awful for you.  We must send you to the cosmetic department at once!  We managed to get it through to her it was the swelling and the feeling rough-ness that was the main concern and we were sent instead to a regular doctor.</p>\n<p>The beauty of visiting a hospital in Thailand is the step-by-step process; this surely eases any potential confusion that could arise.  So that was step one.  We then moved on to step two.  A new nurse, and a new table.  Temperatures were taken and blood pressure (using a super cool MACHINE that I have never seen in all my NHS free health care life) and The Man was issued with an emergency paracetemol to combat a fever, that he must take now, in the style of a mental patient who might slip it to someone else or stash it.</p>\n<p>A short wait followed, but we were entertained with one of many flat screen TVs showing a promotional video for the hospital akin to a shoddy episode of a hospital drama.  At some point some classical music started blaring out across the waiting room which I thought was pretty over-loud until I realised that it was indeed a live quartet situated at the other end of the room - perhaps we misjudged this place - is there an ATM nearby?  I worried that the 5000฿ that we had budgeted for our hospital visit might not be enough.</p>\n<p>Step three of the process was a very well-spoken doctor who ordered for us to have blood tests to check for disease.  They do love a disease here.  Dengue fever was mentioned but I was still pretty sure that we had maybe caught something from the puppy.</p>\n<p>Step four was blood tests - which for me would be a first (and subsequently, second as my miniscule veins were not giving enough in the first instance).  I was glad this was a pretty posh hospital.  Thoughts of Hepatitis and AIDS were reassured with cleanliness and freshly un-packaged needles.  We were told there would be an hour wait, but this is Thailand so the doctor sent us off and out of the hospital to eat some lunch, because no matter how potentially sick you might be, food is always of utmost importance.</p>\n<p>And so step five for us was an iced lemon tea and a sneaky ice cream for The Man (this would surely help to ease the fever) in a coffee shop.  This definitely beats the 40p plastic-cupped, machine-made, tongue-burning &lsquo;coffee\' that we have to put up with back in the UK.  Actually, at home I doubt the blood results would have been ready that day.  I love the NHS, don\'t get me wrong, but things take a lot longer when you are serving the entire country free of charge.</p>\n<p>Our sixth step was a return visit to the doctor who diagnosed us with Dengue fever.  Bed rest was ordered for the rest of the week and sick notes were written for us to give to school.  Once the formalities were out of the way the conversation mostly evolved around Arsenal football club.  I guess he had had an hour to do a quick Google search on &lsquo;conversation topics in English\'.</p>\n<p>The final step was payment and collection of drugs.  It was cheap!  A mere 630฿ each (which is about 12 GBP).  There is no medication for Dengue so we were given some anti-histamines for the rash and other than that we would have to wait it out in bed.</p>\n<p>Dengue fever is one of those things that I hadn\'t heard of previous to coming out to Thailand.  It is the topic of cautionary tales of people being debilitated for weeks, plagued with a fever, unable to move.  Nicknamed the Bone Breaking disease.  Fellow teachers and expats who have been here for long enough each have their When I had Dengue stories akin to the Back in &lsquo;Nam tales of an army veteran.  I think we must have been lucky.  Me more-so than The Man.  He was definitely worse off than me (must be my wonderfully healthy body and lifestyle...!) with a temperature and generally being more ill.</p>\n<p>I reckon when that infected mosquito managed to bite both of us he must have got The Man first, giving him a more potent dose of the wonderful disease.  For me it was just like having a cold and a hangover combined.  I was a bit headachy (I\'ve had much worse migraines), the bones in my hands hurt and my back was very sore (but this was probably from laying down in bed so much).  My rash was incredibly itchy and random fingers continued to swell but this was easily remedied by popping one of the anti-histamines and being dragged into a drowsy slumber.</p>\n<p>We can now proudly join the ranks of the Dengue veterans.  I\'d best get fabricating some good Back in Dengue tales of my own.  I don\'t think my accomplishments of being able to watch all four Pirates of the Caribbean movies, developing a new found obsession with Asia\'s Next Top Model or managing to sleep for 13 hours straight are quite going to cut it.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2013-08-11 03:26:19',1,'2013-08-11 03:26:19','2013-08-11 17:05:20'),(14999,20,'Schools poaching teachers','schools-poaching-teachers','Why does it always seem to happen to us?','This happens ever year.

So annoying!</p>\n<p>This has just happened at the school where I work and it got me thinking about a wide range of things; money, ethics, contracts, students, colleagues and international schools.</p>\n<p>So here\'s my two pence worth on the topic of \'poaching\'</p>\n<p><strong>Money</strong><br />I get it, everyone wants to earn more money, but none of us got into teaching to become millionaires, right? So is it okay to just up and leave for the chance to earn an extra 5 grand a month?</p>\n<p><strong>Ethics</strong><br />Jumping ship for a couple of grand a month may not show great ethics but perhaps the moral quandary sits heavier with the actual school poaching the teacher.<br />A local international school are a teacher down at the beginning of school year for whatever reason, but is it okay for them to buy their way out of this situation? Did they think about advertising the position nationwide? Wouldn\'t that be the better way to find a qualified international teacher?&nbsp;And another problem with poaching is that it can easily have a domino effect,&nbsp;or doesn\'t that matter, perhaps it\'s just a case of - \'well it\'s your problem now\'</p>\n<p><strong>Contracts</strong><br />Unfortunately, most teachers would agree that Thai contracts are worth little more than the cost of the paper they\'re printed on. Having said that, I was encouraged to read about a teacher who had been unfairly dismissed being able to seek compensation ... but the situation for employers left in the lurch is different - there is very little point in taking a teacher to court.&nbsp;I mean how much would it cost? How much compensation would the school get if they won?<br />and what is to stop the foreign teacher just disappearing?</p>\n<p><strong>Students</strong><br />You\'ve gotta feel sorry for the students..... they\'re the ones that really lose out.</p>\n<p><strong>Colleagues</strong><br />So when a teacher leaves it takes time to get a replacement. It\'s important to get the right person and that can sometimes take over a month, but what happens in the meantime? Well those extra 20 hours usually fall to the departing teacher\'s colleagues, pushing their already busy schedules to overload. Thanks..</p>\n<p><strong>International schools</strong><br />You always read about international schools building their success on a strong team of fully qualified teachers with previous experience teaching in the UK/US and at good quality international schools I know this to be true. But what does it say about local international schools that poach ESL teachers from Thai schools? I mean international school fees are 4 or 5 times higher than good quality Thai schools, I would have thought the parents were expecting teachers with full QTS.</p>\n<p><strong>A Possible Solution - ESL Transfer Window</strong></p>\n<p>Perhaps what we need is an ESL Transfer Window like the one they have in football... That way everyone is fair game during the school holidays but as soon as term starts teachers are tied in until the end of term and if you want to move school before your contract expires your future employer better get their cheque book out.</p>\n<p>I like the sound of that and perhaps then the front page of ajarn.com will be filled with the endless speculation usually reserved for the likes of Rooney and Suarez...</p>\n<p>Well that\'s my rant over, and here is a quick plug before I go - If you enjoy teaching teenagers and are currently looking for a full time position, kindly get in touch...BUT if you are currently under contract, please don\'t apply... wouldn\'t want to be a hypocrite.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/rooney.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2013-08-12 02:53:54',1,'2013-08-12 02:53:54','2013-08-12 16:04:56'),(15002,78,'Lucky plates','lucky-plates','I got 99 problems and a plate ain\'t one','License plates.

I had taken a bus from my current school in Sakon Nakhon and was picked up in a Toyota flatbed at Sawang Daeng Din, a small district of Udon. From there it was off to the amphoe and Thai family that hosted me on my first trip. Things were shaping up rather nicely for the evening.</p>\n<p>After the dinner and whisky had been flowing for a while and the karaoke was in full swing the father started giving away money to people by drawing names out of a hat. One girl got 5000 baht (150 bucks) and was excited because it matched her monthly salary. Then something confusing happened. She ran over to my homestay dads brand new Honda CRV and took a picture in front of the car. Ok, pretend like the car is yours haha. I get it. Except she bent down and got a close up next to the license plate. Weird. It had a tropical background airbrushed on it and the number was \"44\", but I didn\'t see the big deal.</p>\n<p>The next morning I was still curious about the lady and the photo from the previous night. I asked my homestay mother what the deal was. She told me the license plate number \"44\" costs about 120,000 baht ($4,000). All of the following happened in Thai:<br /> <br />\"WHAT!?!? For a freaking license plate?? Are you kidding me??\"<br /> <br />\"Well yeah Zach of course. Thais like numbers and they really like lucky ones. We don\'t want to crash our car or have ghosts haunting our wheels for the rest of our lives. So we buy numbers for good luck.\"<br /> <br />\"Ok, but which numbers and how much?\"<br /> <br />\"Glad you asked Zach. My husband got these, but they aren\'t the best numbers.\"<br /> <br />\"So number 1 is the best right?\"<br /> <br />\"No, actually 9.\"<br /> <br />\"Huh?\"<br /> <br />\"Four 9\'s on a license plate costs 1 million baht ($30,000)\"<br /> <br />\"Hahahahahahahaha, nice joke, but seriously...\"<br /> <br />\"Not a joke.

And usually the person will remark that the average teacher salary in Thailand hasn\'t increased for the past ten years.</p>\n<p>Always one to put a person right where the facts are concerned, I\'ll usually reply with, \"no that isn\'t true. I was working at a language school in 1992 and I was pulling in 30,000 baht a month way back then. So the reality is that the average teacher salary in Thailand hasn\'t risen in twenty years - never mind ten\"</p>\n<p>Sobering thought isn\'t it? And yet numerous folks trot out the same old line, year after year, that if you come to work in Thailand, you\'ll be earning four times the salary of the average Thai.</p>\n<p>So who exactly is this &lsquo;average Thai\' that acts as some sort of TEFL benchmark and is presumably earning 7,000 to 8,000 baht a month (25% of what a foreign teacher earns) I decided to go in search of this mythical creature and find out exactly who they are.  Let\'s start with a bunch of very ordinary Thai drivers.</p>\n<p>My wife works for a large Japanese automotive company, where she is in charge of logistics and general affairs. I\'m not sure what her actual job title is but one of her responsibilities is to manage a team of six drivers - all Thai gentlemen aged between about 40 and 60.</p>\n<p>At any one time, the company can have half a dozen expat Japanese managers working in Thailand. As you would expect, these guys are on fairly lucrative expat relocation packages. There\'s the luxury apartment, the international schooling for the kids - and of course they are all allocated their own personal driver.</p>\n<p>These Thai drivers need no particular skills or talents other than to be able to drive a car safely. They don\'t need to speak any Japanese either. Their job is purely to be on call 24/7 to take Mr Japanese businessmen (and his family) to wherever they want to go. During the week, it may be taking the boss to business meetings and business lunches and at the weekend, the job will mostly involve taking the boss to the golf course for an early morning 18 holes or to perhaps a wedding party in the evening.</p>\n<p>Once the driver has reached the destination, they then have to hang around for hours on end until the boss has finished his business, asks to be taken somewhere else, or just wants dropping back at home. I think we\'re all pretty familiar with the role of a personal driver - and in my opinion, it doesn\'t get more &lsquo;average Thai\' than that.</p>\n<p>I\'ve met all of these drivers personally on various company trips and functions. Even though I don\'t work for the company, I get invited along as the husband of management staff.</p>\n<p>The drivers are all nice guys - what you would call good, honest, down-to-earth, working-class people. There are no airs and graces. They like a beer or three and they enjoy a turn with the karaoke microphone.</p>\n<p>But what will amaze you is how much these &lsquo;average Thais\' earn.</p>\n<p>The average starting salary for a Thai driver at this Japanese company is 30,000 baht a month (exactly the same as the average salary for a foreign teacher). But that\'s only from Monday to Friday. Any trip that the driver makes at the weekend is considered overtime - and there are always rounds of golf to be played and parties to be attended on Saturdays and Sundays.</p>\n<p>I have no idea what their hourly overtime rate is but to quote my wife - \"there isn\'t one of those six Thai drivers pulling in less than 80,000 baht a month\"</p>\n<p>Not bad is it for driving your boss to a golf club in Chonburi and then spending the next three hours smoking cigarettes, chatting with other drivers and playing games on your smart-phone (and the drivers I\'m told, all have the latest in mobile phone technology)</p>\n<p>Oh, I almost forgot. Last year the company gave the drivers an annual bonus of seven months salary on top of what they already earn. This year, the unions have negotiated an 8-month bonus. Anyone out there fancy being a driver?</p>\n<p>Let\'s analyse another group of &lsquo;average Thais\', a younger group this time - and for this I need to look no further than my local gym and the dozen or so personal trainers that the gym employs. All of them are aged between 24 and 37.</p>\n<p>I\'m a well-known face at the gym - I\'m one of only three foreign members in fact - and when I\'m not busy killing myself on the treadmill, I enjoy nothing more than to stand around and chat with the personal trainers. It\'s a terrific way to practice your Thai for starters because there isn\'t one of them who can string a decent sentence of English together.</p>\n<p>Thais love talking about salaries and money and my local gym staff are no exception. Many times they\'ve told me that they are envious of what their counterparts earn at more expensive fitness chains like Fitness First for example. But what do my personal trainer friends really earn? Let\'s crunch the numbers.</p>\n<p>Well, the starting salary is nothing to shout about. It\'s just 9,000 baht a month for a six-day week. But it doesn\'t end there of course. They receive an extra 300 baht an hour for teaching a class and 250-300 baht an hour for personal training. Most of the trainers will teach at least two classes a day and have three to four hours of PT.</p>\n<p>The lowest earner at the gym is actually my wife\'s personal trainer. She is the lowest earner simply because by her own admittance - she\'s lazy. She would rather be standing in the gym watching TV and updating her Facebook page on her i-pad than counting reps and sets. She\'s also from a fairly wealthy family in the north-east and has a car and a new apartment to show for it. She takes home about 25,000 baht a month.</p>\n<p>But for the harder-working personal trainer, salaries of 35,000 - 40,000 are not out of reach. The top earner - a very pleasant fellow by the name of Khun Tum - rarely earns below 47K a month.</p>\n<p>Are these guys &lsquo;average Thais\'? Well, they all hold a degree in sport science from a government university. And from speaking to other Thais, they\'ve told me that a degree in sport science is one of the easiest degrees to get in Thailand. Hmmm..... that all sounds pretty average to me.</p>\n<p>I said at the beginning of this ramble that the average teacher salary hasn\'t increased in over twenty years. Surprisingly, after asking around, the entry level salary for a new Thai graduate working at a multinational or large company hasn\'t increased much in that time either. It\'s been approximately 15,000 baht a month since forever.</p>\n<p>But where the difference comes in now when you compare 2013 with 20 years ago - is that your average Thai company employee now gets to a more realistic 30K a month much faster than they did in the past. Year on year earnings can by and large increase quite rapidly.</p>\n<p>There\'s no doubt in my mind that your average English teacher in Thailand has been &lsquo;left behind\' where salaries are concerned. And what\'s even more frightening is if you ask yourself an honest question. How much will foreign teachers be earning in Thailand twenty years from now? No, surely not still 30K a month. I tell you something - I wouldn\'t bet against it.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-08-16 06:00:26',1,'2013-08-16 06:00:26','2013-08-16 20:08:27'),(15012,57,'An unbeatable investment','an-unbeatable-investment','Ten reasons to invest in Bangkok real estate','Many people emigrate to other countries looking for opportunity in their lives.

They see it as a chance to have a better life than back home. Of course it is an adventure as well  and perhaps there is a romantic element linked to their decision, but most expats who become \'permanent\' residents of Thailand or Bangkok only do it if their lives are improved in the process.</p>\n<p>Of course Thailand is dubbed a \'Developing Country\' therefore the moniker of a \'land of opportunity\' comes with such a term. With alleged fortunes to be made. Well no one can promise fortunes, but here are a few reasons why investing in real estate in Bangkok may be a shrewd move you could take.</p>\n<p><strong>1.	Thailand is a Developing Nation</strong></p>\n<p>Unlike the home countries of most Ajarn.com readers, such as the USA, UK, and European nations, Thailand\'s GDP increase year on year is significant. In Europe, UK and USA we are lucky to get growth rates of 2% or at the very most 3%, whereas Thailand looks for regular growth rates of between 5-7%. Look at the graph below from the world bank that illustrates how this has affected the individual wealth of Thais in the lat 50 years.</p>\n<p><img height=\"235\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/graph2.jpg\" width=\"299\" /></p>\n<p>Some foreigners I speak to believe the growth has happened and it\'s over. But the graph above suggests quite the opposite. In fact apart from 1997 and 2008, the graph looks to be getting steeper, i.e. Thais and Thailand are getting richer, faster!</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Real Estate in Bangkok is going up</strong></p>\n<p>Again for years now I have been told by well-educated, successful and informed foreigners that Bangkok\'s property bubble is going to burst. There are too many condos, hotels, apartments etc being built, and it will only be a matter of time before it all comes crashing down.</p>\n<p>Well  I have been told that consistently for 8 years when <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv\">we started our business </a> and in that time property prices in Bangkok\'s city center have more than doubled. From 50 000 Baht/sqm back in 2005 to approximately 110-120 000/sqm for a good quality condo in central Sukhumvit between Asoke-Thonglor.</p>\n<p>Yes of course there may be a future correction (all markets experience one once in a while), but the chances of a 50-60% drop in prices to get back to 2005 levels is almost impossible. In fact even a 20% drop would be huge and unlikely.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	The AEC is coming in 2015</strong></p>\n<p>Yes I know there are some disputes to rectify and it is not a foregone conclusion, but even the thick-headed politicians with their own personal agendas realize that a bigger market with more freedom to move capital, labour and goods and services will in the long-run be of huge benefit to Thailand and the biggest individual benefactor will be Bangkok.</p>\n<p>However poor you think Laos, Cambodia and Burma (Myanmar) are, you can be sure there are some massively wealthy individuals who have vast sums of money just waiting for investment. Countries such as those named and indeed Vietnam and Philippines don\'t have the range of real estate Bangkok possesses. Therefore for a quick way to invest their money safely these individuals will be looking at cities like Bangkok and investing heavily. Just like rich Arabs invest in London and other European cities as their own countries do not have the range of investment opportunities available.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is a huge influx of foreign capital from the region and beyond into Bangkok will boost property prices. So now is the time to buy.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Infrastructure</strong></p>\n<p>Yes I know as a foreigner we despair at how inadequate the Bangkok infrastructure is. Compared to cities like New York, Tokyo, Sydney or London it is poor. With a population of 12-15million (depending which figures you read). Yes it\'s true the approximately 50 stations that make up the BTS and MRT system at present are hardly adequate. But then that is a lot more than most cities in SE Asia have.</p>\n<p>Look at Jakarta, an even bigger city - 17 million - and an even richer country - part of the G20 - and yet not a single BTS or MRT equivalent. Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Yangoon, the list goes on. Even Kuala Lumpar\'s system is  tiny! Only really Singapore in SE Asia makes Bangkok look inadequate on metro systems.</p>\n<p>And it\'s improving fast. Just travel to Bang Son, Talingchan or Kae Rai and you will see huge infrastructure projects nearing completion. With miles and miles of track both raised and underground.</p>\n<p>Again going back to point (3) if you were a rich non-Thai which city would you buy real estate in? One with no metro system or one with an existing and rapidly expanding one?</p>\n<p><strong>5.	The sheer size of Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>Yes it\'s true Singapore is better organized, yes it\'s true they have a better metro system, road system and things run much smoother. But they have huge advantages in that they only have 6 million people in the whole country. They are a city state so they can block transport into the city easily. And they are relatively tiny.</p>\n<p>Bangkok has at least double the population. Bangkok also has 55 million other Thais needing and wanting access to it whenever they want. But this in the long run is to Bangkok\'s advantage.</p>\n<p>Larger populations generally lead to faster growth, more wealth and certainly more demand. As more and more Thai\'s urbanize themselves, they will need accommodation. Inexpensive at first for most newcomers, but as Thai wealth increases (see the graph in point (1)) so will their demand for mid-high end real estate.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	The airport and shopping plazas</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m sure I am not the only foreigner that sniggers every time I see a large space of land in the city center cleared and then 2-3mths later the rumor or the bill-boards come out confirming yet another shopping mall being built - 2 stations down from the last new one.</p>\n<p>However this vast shopping infrastructure is rapidly turning Bangkok into the shopping mecca of SE Asia. It used to be that Hong Kong or Singapore were the places to go to shop, but these days nothing in SE Asia compared to Bangkok. And once again the opening up if the AEC will boost this even more.</p>\n<p>Already rich Cambodians, Lao, Burmese and not to mention Chinese, Indians and Pakistanis are flying to Bangkok in their millions each year to explore the shops of Bangkok. Their countries either do not possess the luxury of the shops in Bangkok, or do not possess the range.</p>\n<p>I know two people very well who have lived extensively in both Hong Kong and Jakarta and tell me that in their respective cities they can only buy very low end goods or very high-end goods. So they have to come to Bangkok to get the mid-ranged items we take for granted here and in the west.</p>\n<p><strong>7.	The ease in which to live in Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>Without going into discussions or comments on either race or religion it is clear that of many of the SE Asian destinations on offer, Bangkok offers one of the easiest and most relaxed ways of life.</p>\n<p>It\'s relaxed and accepting culture allows foreigners to live here very easily and comfortably, without too many rules and regulations that conflict with our own up-bringing.</p>\n<p>Many foreigners come to Bangkok planning to stay a few years at most and never leave, realizing that not only does Bangkok offer a more relaxed environment than most other options, but also more than their hometown perhaps did.</p>\n<p><strong>8.	Property prices in Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>As mentioned above so far, Bangkok\'s infrastructure - as inadequate as it is - trumps most of its rivals in the region. In fact only Singapore offers a more comprehensive system and even then dealing with a much smaller city and population.</p>\n<p>I of course realize that Hong Kong is not technically part of SE Asia, but it is both a well known and popular expat destination and I have mentioned it above, so I will drag it into this point as well.</p>\n<p>Bangkok may be trumped by Singapore and Hong Kong on the infrastructure stakes, but at what cost? Well it may surprise you to know that city center properties in Singapore are on average 6 times more expensive than the Bangkok equivalent and Hong Kong even more expensive at 8 times the price. Therefore showing Bangkok to be pretty good value for money.</p>\n<p>Also with that level of differential, it gives plenty of scope for the gap to be narrowed.</p>\n<p><strong>9.	Surrounding areas</strong></p>\n<p>Again where Bangkok trumps the likes of Singapore, Hong Kong and even cities like Jakarta are the surrounding areas. If one lives in Hong Kong or Singapore they almost invariably have to jump on a flight to go somewhere, as it is hard to impossible to \'get-away\' for a weekend or a few days inside these cities.</p>\n<p>The there can be the hassle of visas and of course the cost of international travel, not to mention the time. Whereas if you\'re and expat in Bangkok, you can just drive to a beach or a national park within a few hours and be in a totally different environment.</p>\n<p>And it\'s inexpensive too. A train to Hua Hin can be less than 100 Baht and to Ayuthaya less than 50 Baht, and both offer completely contrasting environments to Bangkok and can be a lot fun.</p>\n<p><strong>10.	The Weather and Food</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m sorry I\'m not even going to present an argument here. There is simply no place in SE Asia where the two combine better.&nbsp; Yes of course almost all of SE Asia is hot, but can they offer the culinary delights of Bangkok? In my experience the answer is No!.</p>\n<p>The only city that comes close on the culinary front in my opinion is Hanoi, with its blend of Vietnamese cuisine and French flair, but even then it gets cold there in the winter and rains at the same time, a grey day there can be like being back in the UK.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-08-19 19:25:56',1,'2013-08-19 19:25:56','2013-08-20 09:09:57'),(15014,71,'Science day spectacular','science-day-spectacular','Thais certainly know how to put on a show','I\'ve said it before, and I\'ll say it again: Thai schools love to put on a show.

It\'s not always a GOOD show, but at least once every week or so, my school has some kind of event happening during morning assembly that lasts well into the school day.</p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, we had two in a row: ASEAN day on a Thursday that lasted through third period (which was quite good... I was impressed), followed by a Mother\'s Day ceremony the next day to commemorate the Queen\'s birthday the following Monday. Both of these were quite amusing, and the students seemed to relatively enjoy the proceedings. Hey, it\'s a good excuse to skip a few classes during the day... who wouldn\'t be happy?</p>\n<p>But, I must say: Science Day takes the cake for my school\'s events I\'ve seen so far. I was highly impressed; the science department put on a day-long event hosting booths of student work on various science subjects (mostly in Thai, but interesting nonetheless), as well as a multitude of games, dances, and competitions throughout the day.</p>\n<p>The theme: reduce, reuse, recycle. The highlight of the festivities was a very well organized beauty pageant and/or fashion show. I\'m not exactly sure which. I was surprised; 30+ \"couples\" waltzed around the assembly area in clothes made entirely or almost entirely out of recycled materials. Some of them were quite extraordinary; one couple dressed as a peacock and its mate, with costumes made entirely of Big C plastic bags, trash bags, various pieces of used paper, and other paraphernalia that would otherwise have been thrown away. Another couple dressed up in Lady Gaga-esque attire with very fashionable outfits made entirely of newspapers and bottle tops.</p>\n<p>The day was obviously was meant to be more fun than serious, and the fact that it incorporated a competition and science (related) was quite impressive. I was really surprised at how well the entire event was organized. If you\'ve ever been in Thailand, school or not, you\'ll know organization isn\'t always a top priority. But today, it was!</p>\n<p>I also love how the students - even those not participating in the festivities directly-genuinely enjoyed the day. It\'s great to see students actually having FUN... while doing something school related! That\'s quite a feat, if you ask me. Sure, it was hot as it always is, but I saw nothing but smiles on the faces of students and teachers alike all day.</p>\n<p>The fact that the school A) allows students to \"skip\" classes all day for such festivities, and B) allows students to dress in manners which show off a LOT more skin than would be allowed in any school (one student was even shirtless for the fashion show), makes for a great establishment in my mind. Sure, most days are surrounded by conformity and uniforms, but it\'s not the end of the world for a little fun and relaxation within the rules. Western schools, take note.</p>\n<p>The emcee for the fashion show was nothing less than a male student dressed as a lady (can you call a student a ladyboy?), there were lesbian couples for the shows, some costumes were made out of whiskey bottles and boxes... can you imagine that ever happening in a Western school? My school sent students home just for having a t-shirt that said \"Budweiser.\" And they say Thailand is conservative. I beg to differ, and am quite thrilled to do so. It\'s refreshing!</p>\n<p>I can\'t speak for other countries, but I remember science in the USA as being tedious and boring. Sure, we\'d have the odd fun experiment day, but any \"fun\" was always overshadowed by a multitude of rules and chaperones, and it was generally more effort than it was worth for teachers AND students to even bother breaking away from the norm. Here in Bangkok, students actually are finding science fun! Thrilling, exciting... fun!</p>\n<p>My hats off to all of the students and teachers at my school who obviously put a lot of effort into the whole ordeal. I am part of the science department, but was sick all the week before and wasn\'t around to help much. I\'m  really impressed, and it makes me proud to be a science teacher.</p>','','2013-08-19 19:51:41',1,'2013-08-19 19:51:41','2013-08-20 09:09:42'),(15016,21,'New teacher scam alert','new-teacher-scam-alert','Be on your guard for anyone asking for an interview fee','We removed a bogus job ad from the ajarn.com job listings today for an international school in Bangkok.

Which is fine, of course - but in an increasingly globalised world, in the interests of harmony it helps to consider both sides of the argument.

This is your country - nobody\'s forcing you to talk to us, or even particularly like us. If, however, you\'re a Thai who is sincere about wanting to talk to foreigners to practice your English, to do business, to work with or to perhaps meet a partner, it wouldn\'t to do any harm to be mindful of the following points:</p>\n<p><strong>1.	There Is No Such Place As &lsquo;Farangland\'</strong></p>\n<p>The debate on just what constitutes a &lsquo;farang\' has raged in bars, eateries and staffrooms across the country since time immemorial. The Thai response is, for the most part, typically vague, but the generally accepted definition is that it means &lsquo;non-Asian\'. A cursory look at a globe would quickly reveal that this gives the definition a heck of a lot of leeway. Even limiting the description to &lsquo;Western Caucasian\' is muddy and ill-defined, and that\'s not even getting into the issue of non-Western Caucasians and non-Caucasian Westerners...</p>\n<p>If you\'re keen to speak to foreigners, disregard the vague notion of &lsquo;farang-ness\'. Get to know them. Ask about their country, their culture, their food, their religion (or lack of). It\'s half the fun! More importantly, it\'ll help you avoid an excruciatingly awkward faux pas like, for example, asking a Jewish person to give a speech on how they celebrate Christmas, or desperately trying to foist ka-nom on a Muslim in the midst of his Ramadan fast (both of which I\'ve witnessed here). We don\'t expect you to be able to reel off all fifty states or member countries of the EU, but most foreigners would appreciate anyone taking the time to care about their backgrounds instead of lumping them into an amorphous, ill-defined stereotype.</p>\n<p>I mean, my Thai friends eat way more hot dogs than I do, for starters.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Don\'t Be Patronizing</strong></p>\n<p>This is a tricky one. Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of foreigners pass through Thailand at any given time. The vast majority of them will not be staying more than a month and are not particularly interested in studying the intricacies of Thai culture beyond learning how to order a Chang and pronounce khob khun khrap/kaa correctly. It\'s reasonable to assume that they won\'t know how to use chopsticks or have heard of Mukdahan. You\'d probably be safe in assuming that they\'d prefer you to go easy on the chilies in their tom yam goong or pad kra pao.</p>\n<p>However, of those thousands, a not insubstantial percentage will be long-termers: teachers, businesspeople, partners of a local or just plain old lingerers who fled here for a gap year and never returned. Don\'t act surprised and coo at the lifers if they can wield a pair of chopsticks correctly. Don\'t worry about skimping on the chili - if they\'ve been here a while, chances are they\'ll tell you. Put simply, if the foreigner clearly knows what they\'re doing, can order a round of food with minimal problems and pay the right money when presented with the bill, you don\'t need to talk down to them. You don\'t need to act amazed, to call up friends and family, to secretly plaster the news over Facebook. Treat them as you would any other friend, colleague or customer.<br />Although that being said...</p>\n<p><strong>3.	Be Patient</strong></p>\n<p>Thai is hard for us, alright? We\'re not used to tonal languages, and Thai has a few common sounds that most of us simply can\'t make without a great deal of difficulty. Don\'t laugh at our no-doubt feeble yet sincere attempts to communicate in the local tongue.</p>\n<p>If you\'re at a bar and the foreigner is furiously gesturing for something that sounds a bit like &lsquo;bee-ah Heineken\', you can probably assume it\'s not a Chang they\'re after, even if they don\'t hit that final rising tone. If you\'re presented with a foreigner laden with suitcases asking to go somewhere that sounds a bit like &lsquo;don moo-ang\'... there\'s an airport that sounds a bit like that, right? Run that past them instead of grunting \"Uh?\" and insisting they pronounce that salah uu-ah perfectly before you put the keys in the ignition.</p>\n<p>We know sometimes foreigners will act in ways that seem illogical (who drinks beer without ice on a scorching summer evening anyway?), or will ask questions that will seem ostensibly baffling. Please be patient. We\'re trying to navigate a strange (to us) culture as best we can.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Don\'t be Presumptious</strong></p>\n<p>For the final leg of my morning commute here in the capital, I have to get the bus from the oft-congested hub around Mo Chit BTS. I can\'t count the amount of times the bus with the big English block capitals announcing KHAO SAN ROAD has pulled up expectantly next to me, lingered for a while, horn honking, before roaring off into the traffic with the driver bemusedly shaking his head. After double-checking that yes, I am in fact wearing an ironed shirt and no, I didn\'t accidentally don a Bob Marley singlet and somehow transform my shorn hair into flowing dreads during the MRT trip, I go back to waiting patiently, when minutes later the next KHAO SAN ROAD bus will pull up and the next punter will slam open the doors for me. Of course, by this point his position will be occupied by a row of three or four equally expectant, equally horn-happy taxi drivers, similarly bemused by the sight of this business-clad farang who appears to be waiting for the cattle bus. He must be confused.</p>\n<p>Here\'s the thing - as much as we\'d like to spend all our time slurping from buckets and cruising round in air-conditioned taxis, living here the whole year round and earning a less than magnificent salary means that yes, some of us will, at times, have to take the bus. No, not all farang &lsquo;have money\'. We don\'t all spend our every waking hour and carefully-hoarded satang in the flesh-pits of Soi Nana (this will also come as a shock to quite a few foreigners, too). Some of us are here for purposes other than Family Guy re-runs and lady bars. Remember what I said about the non-existence of &lsquo;farangland\'? There\'s no such thing as a true &lsquo;farang\' either. Don\'t presume that there is, and don\'t presume that we\'re all after the same things.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	&lsquo;Hey You\' Is Not A Polite Greeting</strong></p>\n<p>Nor is &lsquo;you, you\', &lsquo;where you go\', or any variations thereof. Don\'t believe me? Try addressing the biggest, ugliest barstool warmer in any British inner-city local or American backwater dive-bar with &lsquo;Hey you!\' and see where that gets you.</p>\n<p>Almost all of us are tolerant of this, of course. Those not in the know accept it as an inevitable by-product of knowing only enough English to get the customers in your tuk-tuk or JJ Market stall, and those of us in the know presume that it\'s more than likely a case of what TEFL teachers call &lsquo;mother tongue interference\' - namely, that the Thai for &lsquo;you\' and the hyper-polite Thai for &lsquo;sir/madam\' share the same word (khon), and are therefore being confused. Either way, we know you\'re probably not intending to be rude, and we let it slide for that reason.</p>\n<p>But rest assured, if you come across a foreigner who\'s road-weary after a ten-hour bus ride from the North, laden with heavy bags, chronically sleep-deprived from the Ching Roi Ching Lan re-runs they\'d had to endure for seven of those ten hours and vaguely panicked by the notion of negotiating a hotel room at four in the morning, bellowing &lsquo;Hey you!\' in their face is not going to win you any friends. <br />And finally...</p>\n<p><strong>6.	Don\'t worry!</strong></p>\n<p>Really. We don\'t all bite - well, a handful might, but only if they\'re paying for the privilege. Over-compensating can sometimes be more annoying than outright indifference.</p>\n<p>Remember that strange ghostly apparition you\'re approaching in the school car park is a human being, with their own tastes, beliefs and opinions. You don\'t have to play them a Ronan Keating CD or bust out some poorly-accented urban slang to win them over. We know that most Thais are fiercely proud of their country, keen to portray it as a dynamic, upcoming powerhouse with a rich culture and fine traditions. We know that most of you would like us to be comfortable here. But taking us to the Lotus food court is not necessarily achieving either.</p>\n<p>Ask the foreigner what THEY want out of Thailand. Learn a little about them. Sincerity, politeness and a listening ear rarely go unappreciated, and if they are it\'s a good chance that particular foreigner is not worth bothering with anyway. Getting to know about someone else\'s culture is rarely a complete waste of time.</p>\n<p>Or failing that, take them for pizza. Hey, not all stereotypes are false.</p>\n<p><strong>Patrick Taylor</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Want to contact Patrick by <a href=\"mailto:p.dylantaylor@yahoo.co.uk\">e-mail</a>?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/shy2.jpg','2013-08-27 22:35:30',1,'2013-08-27 22:35:30','2013-08-28 12:12:31'),(15039,71,'My anniversary','my-anniversary','A year in Thailand','Land of Smiles, if it\'s not terribly inconvenient, might I stay forever?','<p>I was teaching an evening corporate class last night, and part of our lesson was about birthdays and anniversaries. The word anniversary triggered something in me... what month is it again? Then it hit me: today is the anniversary of my arrival in the Land of Smiles! Wow. The year has literally flown by.</p>\n<p>A year ago, I never would have guessed that I would be \"settled in\" bustling Bangkok. Two years ago, I never would have imagined being here in the first place! But now, it seems odd to look back and realize that I\'m not actually from here. Sure, I still speak less Thai than a 2-month old baby. And sure, I still find myself surprised from time to time about something I see or hear. But for the most part, I really can\'t figure out what took me so long to make the move!</p>\n<p>A year in review... well, there\'s not much to say. I up-and-moved from the conservative South of the US straight to Pattaya, having no idea what I was getting myself into. I wanted to do a TEFL course in Thailand to get used to the country, and according to Google Maps, Pattaya was at the beach... so that was that. How\'s that for a rude awakening?</p>\n<p>Two months later, I moved to Bangers into a college dorm (or jail cell, depending on who you ask). I did what many unfortunate rookie teachers in Thailand do and worked for a terrible agency for a semester, got fired (for absolutely no reason), kept working anyway, finally signed directly with the school I\'m working at, moved again, started a second (and third) job, moved (again) into a nice pad, traveled a bit (not nearly enough), met some great people, had a few parties, and here I am: relatively settled into a routine. Never thought THAT would happen.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been told that the first few months in a new place are the hardest to adapt. But oddly, from the moment I stepped out into the sweltering heat at Suvarnabhumi Airport, I felt right at home. The people here are about as friendly as it gets, the food never gets old, I NEVER need to wear a jacket (well... except maybe on the BTS), most things are cheap compared to the US and Europe, and I\'m surrounded by beautiful people and places. What more can you ask for?</p>\n<p>So, that\'s a year down. Sure, there are many things I\'ve seen and done in Thailand already, but they don\'t compare to all the things I hope to experience in the years to come.

Students who just merely depend on listening and speaking, without writing, tend to forget things learned.','<p>On one occasion , so as  to satisfy my curiosity about language teaching,   I asked a reputable  English consultant if it was okay to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) merely concentrating on speaking and listening. She said without hesitation that foreign language teaching shouldn\'t undermine writing. Students who just merely depend on listening and speaking, without writing, tend to forget things learned.</p>\n<p>I had experimented with this philosophy on my students and I am totally sold on the idea of   giving a lot of writing opportunities when teaching English. That\'s why whenever I have speaking and listening lessons, I see to it that students engage in writing - answering exercises, spelling, taking down notes, translating, doing dictation lessons, etc.</p>\n<p>With this idea in mind, when I returned to Thailand from the Philippines after a summer break,  I brought a kilo of Manila papers. I utilized them as visual materials for my writing lessons. When I used them, I did not merely ask my students to write about the topic they  wanted to study. I tapped into their experiences for I knew that students\' experiences were rich sources of writing ideas. With my Grade 4, 5, and 6 students   I let  them  write about  camping and O-Net  which they were experiencing then. Fruits, school, and drinks  were also used as topics later. Now, how did I do it?</p>\n<p>I posted &frac12; Manila paper on the board. I asked who, what, when, where, why, and how questions on the topic for the day. Students supplied the words and sentences. They also spelled the words as they were written on the Manila paper. When all the sentences were written, they read the paragraph and answered questions about it.</p>\n<p>The activity didn\'t end there. We had games   in looking up the  meaning of words in the English-Thai dictionary,  spelling  important words in the paragraph,  playing whispering  game using the sentences, and guessing  what sentence the teacher thinks.  My students were so happy to do all these. Afterwards, they wrote their experiences in a mini book.</p>\n<p>In one of my monthly observations, my inspector was happy to see my students read their illustrated mini books. The students took pride in showing their little masterpieces. I also used the paragraphs for presentation during the flag ceremony. In fact, I have derived many writing activities from this like dialogue making, journal writing, letter writing, speech writing, and essay writing.</p>\n<p>When writing is made   an integral part of a language lesson, the other language skills are reinforced and students derive full learning. Thus, writing is necessary in every lesson. One may say providing writing activities in lessons relaxes the teacher a bit, but the good result is that the students benefit more from it.</p>','','2013-09-02 18:57:30',1,'2013-09-02 18:57:30','2013-09-03 09:09:31'),(15063,52,'September 2013','september-2013','All the latest news from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','Thailand can be a terrific place to take a TEFL course.

I love my job and I\'m happy everyday, but there\'s this euphoric buzz that runs through me every time I clip on my Osprey bag and wedge myself onto another box-on-wheels. My muscles cramp and my limbs fall asleep within minutes of unintentionally twisting myself into an advanced yoga pose on these clown-car-excuse-for-buses, but it has become part of the experience at this point.</p>\n<p>Oddly, there was a bus available from Tha Bo to Loei, so travel-time to our travel-hub was quite brief - although this was the only portion of our commute that was brief. Being in Thailand for about six months has allowed me to develop an open mind when it comes to patience. The term \"Thai-Time\" is not just an alliterative, clever sounding stereotyped slogan - it is as literal as the word itself.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bob1.jpg\" width=\"225\" /></p>\n<p>Thais are in no rush to do anything. So, a trip that should have taken three hours took closer to seven. Especially on the local transit, the bus driver always prudently picks up every person in sight on the side of the road, as well as takes every ample opportunity to stop for snacks and smoke breaks. So, the moral of the story is: \"mai bpen rai\" (don\'t worry about it) - you\'re in Thailand!</p>\n<p>It\'s always cool to people-watch and try to chat up the locals in situations like this. I am a professional at spontaneously and chronically napping on public transit, but even that is quite the feat for a 7-hour trip. Although guilty of a few Angry Birds sessions from time-to-time, I try to steer clear of technology on transit.

Also, once you start spending some time with locals it\'s pretty incredible how much Thai you can actually begin to pick up.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bob2.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>We stayed in a great little guesthouse called, \"Sugar Guest House\" (pronounced &lsquo;Soo-gar\') in Muang Loei. It\'s in a prime location; has a friendly owner, Pat (who is very good at speaking English - not very common in the Issan region); and its cheap, yet classy rooms make it an awesome choice for a trip to this part of the country. The city itself doesn\'t have many of the bells and whistles that accompany a backpacker on the main tourist circuit, but the natural aesthetics in the surrounding areas make it an unsung hero in Thailand.</p>\n<p>When you\'re not bouncing around to the natural beauties that surround, there are plenty of stellar Thai food spots (including the phenomenal food walking street), a few entertaining watering holes, and a heaping smattering of local vendors to keep you beyond pleased with your destination choice.</p>\n<p>Being that it\'s August, the rainy season is upon us, which unfortunately means that many of the national parks in Thailand close a hefty portion of their trekking and hiking opportunities until October. When I first heard the term \"rainy season,\" I initially was inclined to believe that for the entire span of the season, it rained like it does in the movie \"Rambo.\"</p>\n<p>Now that I\'ve experienced and am now a part of the latter segment of the rains, I have found out that it is the quality of the storms and not the quantity. Sometimes, it won\'t rain for an entire week, but when it rains, you might as well put your bathing suit on if your going to be outside (which I tend to actually do). With that said, some portions of the country experience more rain than others during this time. As far as I know, hiking opportunities close down because of the inherent danger that lies upon the slippery hills.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bob4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Now, that does not mean that the whole area shuts down - this time of year is when some of the wildest colors show themselves and it is a beautiful sight to see. On our first day in town, we rented a Suzuki from Pat and shot up 201 North to the earthy, yet progressive village of Chiang Khan. Resting on the banks of the Mekong, Chiang Khan takes on the mannerisms of Pai, yet it is way milder and has a significantly smaller footprint. A large portion of the architecture is made of timber, which gives the town a homegrown vibe. Although we only spent the better part of a day there, we still had an incredible time.</p>\n<p>After spending the first hour walking along a path that spans the Mekong (it seems like they have plans to renovate the path into a walking strip that is handicapped accessible - which is quite progressive for that area), we stumbled upon a gem of a restaurant: Gin Sen Duh; Gin Khao Deh. Literally translated to, \"We have noodles; We have rice - this simple restaurant slogan did not do the place justice. Yes, they had both noodles and rice, but it was so much more.</p>\n<p>Decorated with vibrant, loud colors, the restaurant fit right in to this hipster, Thai town, but it still stood on its own. Run by renowned chef, Mr. Korn, it took on the atmosphere of dining in a friend\'s living room. After taking our order, we watched as Mr. Korn prepared a few dishes for the parties ahead of us. With a calm and collective demeanor, flames flew vertically as Thai cuisine danced in the air with a small flick of his wrist. Even with the heat of the Thai sun, coupled with the steamy kitchen, only small beads of sweat formed around this culinary guru\'s tiny, awesome mustache.</p>\n<p>Mr. Korn had apparently been a big-time chef down in Bangkok for the bulk of his career. He took a holiday north and after his first encounter with Chiang Khan, his life-long views changed. It was time to open up a place of his own that made a positive contribution to a community that gave so much to him. He did just that by satisfying local taste buds on a daily basis, and making a couple of farang feel right at home.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bob5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Dining with us on that day was the worldly Chiang Khan local, \"Yo.\" We began chatting and it turned out he had some pretty epic traveling experiences - one of those being an epic cross-country road trip across the oh-so-familiar United States. It\'s a shot in the dark, but maybe that\'s why his English was so good... While traveling, it\'s circumstances like that one, which make life seem so simple. All you need is some friendly people, a couple laughs, and some tasty food to make all worries whisk away.</p>\n<p>Along with that culinary treat, Chiang Khan - along with Loei - have unbelievable coffee shops. Thailand, generally speaking, can fall on both ends of the spectrum when it comes to a satisfying and spine tingling cup of Joe. In many instances, you can find yourself sipping on an instant cup of mahogany tinted liquid that will bring you one step closer to maxing out your blood sugar content (if you don\'t want your teeth to rot out of your head, remember the phrase \"nam tan nit noy\" - which translates to \"sugar, a little.\")</p>\n<p>The coffee is cheaper at these powder stands, but often there will be more sugar in your cup than coffee. So, when you see a coffee shop with an espresso machine, you are in luck. In the Chiang Khan and Loei area, there are plenty of these to choose from, all with an awesome atmosphere, and friendly staff. Personally, a good cup of coffee goes a long way for me, so having real coffee shops in the area is always a nice bonus.</p>\n<p>My advice would be to leave the coffee for the morning or the evening, and spend your days exploring the virtually unscathed landscape that Loei has to offer. We got a chance to check out two very cool spots: Tham Moharan (Moharan Cave) and Nam Tok Huai Lao (Huai Lao Waterfall). Both spots were clearly labeled on the map to be located south of Loei, right along Highway 201, so, we figured it would be easy to find.</p>\n<p>What we found out through trial, error, and small talk with locals along the way was that these two tourist attractions were available to the general public - you just had to be able to read and comprehend Thai in order to find them. The comical, yet surprisingly logical facet that my travel partner and I did not take into consideration was the mere fact that we were indeed in Thailand. Although it takes longer to see the sights when you can\'t read the road signs and your map is not to scale, it adds an extra pinch of fulfillment when you finally arrive at your destination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bob6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Tham Moharan was an especially cool place to arrive to. Located behind a giant yellow gate (we never would have found it if we didn\'t decide to park the bike, surpass the gate, and adventure down the long path to the cave entrance), the cave offers quite a unique experience - it is essentially a self-guided tour. As you walk up the steps toward the entranceway, there is a switch on the wall you push up in order to turn the electricity on in the cave. Although it is slightly lame that electricity is provided in the cave, there are still plenty of awesome crevices, dips, and ducks to explore with your headlamp.</p>\n<p>There are many impressive stalactite and stalagmite structures that will \"wow\" you from start to finish. Not to mention, there is a significant bat population! As soon as you enter, you will find them squeaking and swooping right over your head. Surprisingly, they tended to stay in the wider caverns, but some of them were not afraid to get pretty close! So, as you are meandering through the caverns, be wary that big bats means big \"guano.\"</p>\n<p>Located about 30 kilometers from Tham Moharan is the captivating Nam Tok Huai Lao. Set back from the main highway, the drive to the waterfall alone is worth the trip. Due to the dire need for a pave, it is well advised you take your time on your way there, or you\'ll end up walking to the waterfall. The slow-route won\'t bother you though because you are surrounded by rural, mountainous Thailand, in a most-unadulterated spot. Vibrant greens, beautiful farms, and giddy villagers swarm in this area, which makes getting lost quite the treat on your way to the waterfall (there are a few turns that are unmarked, so asking for directions is almost necessary).</p>\n<p>Nom Tok Huai Lao is a 9-tier waterfall. Simply stunning from start to finish, each tier keeps you longing for what lies ahead. Beads of sweat were dripping down my face with each step and the humidity covered my body like a fleece blanket. Barrages of bamboo shot up all around the forest making for nice decoration and a fun percussive activity on the way up. When hiking in any Thai jungle, something that can easily be overlooked (literally) is the colonies of ants that spread out amongst the soil. It may sound boring, but it is most certainly not - the way they work is incredible!</p>\n<p>Thailand is home to hundreds of species of ants who are bustling about at all hours of the day, so make it a point to check them out. Although they were a nice addition to the waterfall hike, words cannot describe the top tiers of Nam Tok Huai Lao - so go see it for yourself!</p>\n<p>Our trip sadly came to an end the next day. It is never easy to come to terms with leaving a beautiful place, but with every excursion that ends, another follows. All I can really say now is: go to Loei, you won\'t regret it!</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-09-05 19:43:21',1,'2013-09-05 19:43:21','2013-09-06 17:05:22'),(15081,71,'Teaching quality vs teaching quantity','teaching-quality-vs-teaching-quantity','What to do when the odds are stacked against you?','So apparently my current Mathayom 2 reading class didn\'t finish the reading book assigned in Mathayom 1. The result is that I\'ve been told I must teach both that book AND the one I was assigned to teach... in one semester.','<p>So apparently my current Mathayom 2 reading class didn\'t finish the reading book assigned in Mathayom 1. The result is that I\'ve been told I must teach both that book AND the one I was assigned to teach... in one semester. A parent complained that she bought a book that her daughter didn\'t even use, and I can see her point. But the result is thus: each book consists of 20 chapters or units in 120 pages. That\'s a total of 240 pages to get through in one semester with a class only meeting for 50 minutes (in reality, more like 35 minutes), twice per week.Poor kids.</p>\n<p>My general reading teaching method is to read the story to the class aloud once, then go over a selection of vocabulary words from the book piece which I determine beforehand. Model, choral, drill, definition... the works. Depending on the class size, I also go around and have students read at least a sentence each aloud to me (sometimes two students reading together). As I\'m doing that, the students are answering the questions I assign from the book. Depending on the lesson size, we may or may not get through an entire lesson.</p>\n<p>This method obviously won\'t work when I have a very short time to get through a lot of material.</p>\n<p>Do I think the kids will actually learn anything coherently by having to get through so much? Well, no. I\'ve decided to make the best of a bad situation: I\'m assigning two units (6 pages each) per class with the full realization that a handful of them will do it (if that many) and the rest will copy it.</p>\n<p>I\'m also spending a good deal of the last part of each class going around and checking that they have completed the assigned pages \"for a grade\"; it makes them think they actually must do it, even though most of the scores I take aren\'t recorded for final reports anyway. That\'s the great thing about most of the students I\'ve had in Thailand: just thinking they may fail is a strong enough motivation to get them to do at least something. I\'m reviewing the answers with them one of the two days per week on the assigned pages.</p>\n<p>Realize, of course, that the completed bookwork is to keep the parents happy. Anyone in their right mind would understand that cramming a whole book into a half of a semester won\'t result in a lot of long-term learning.</p>\n<p>The book we\'re currently using (we\'re now on the second book) is beyond the comprehension of my MEP class of 28 students .So, my main goal with them is that they learn some vocabulary. I\'ve assigned on average ten vocabulary words to make into flashcards for each unit, for a total (by the end of the book) of about 220 vocabulary flashcards. On each card, they must write the word, part of speech, and a small picture representing the word on the front, and on the back the English definition. They can write the Thai definition if they like, but I\'m not requiring it.</p>\n<p>Believe it or not, it seems to be going fairly well. Granted, it is a LOT of work for these poor kids, but it keeps them busy, which means they MAY actually LEARN something-stranger things have happened. The flashcards are a productive and crafty thing for them to do; I remember having to make them for Spanish when I was in high school, and although I hated them, they certainly helped me remember words. Better yet, based on their scores from midterms (which were almost exclusively based on the vocabulary flashcards I assigned), they\'re actually learning some words too!</p>\n<p>So, if you get stuck with a ridiculous task in a Thai school, you\'ve just got to make the best of a bad situation. I realize that with a \"normal\" class of 50+ screaming 12 year olds, this would not be a viable option. But then again, in a \"normal\" class, you aren\'t as likely to have a parent complain that money is being wasted... because not as much is spent in the first place.</p>\n<p>If you can hold students\' attention for more than five minutes, get them to be semi-productive, have them remotely excited about being so, and they actually LEARN something... you\'re doing pretty damn well in my book.</p>','','2013-09-09 02:42:51',1,'2013-09-09 02:42:51','2013-09-09 16:04:52'),(15091,20,'Summertime blues','summertime-blues','Major changes that will affect many teachers','Next year it\'s going to be a very long summer.

But before looking at the repercussions, let\'s take a quick look at the \'logic\' behind these changes..</p>\n<p><strong>The \'Logic\'</strong></p>\n<p>The powers-that-be have decided that Thailand\'s school year should come in to line with the school year in other ASEAN countries. Why? Possibly to ease the exchange of students, I don\'t know exactly but being kind of pro-ASEAN I can see there is some logic in this so okay let\'s get in line with our ASEAN neighbours.</p>\n<p><strong>The New School Year</strong></p>\n<p>Singapore has the best-rated education system in the region and if Thailand is going to follow anyone then Singapore is a good choice. In Singapore the school year follows the calendar year running from January to December (this is similar to Australia). Schools in Malaysia also follow a school year which runs parallel to the calendar year.</p>\n<p>Moving to this system makes good sense. Another good option would be to follow the international school year that Europe and America follow which runs from August/September to June/July. That would also be a good idea. International schools &amp; Thai schools following similar calendars, the Christmas/New Year holidays line up and Easter holidays are often around Songkran so that also works.</p>\n<p>So we have a couple of good options here, all of which are logical.</p>\n<p><strong>So what has Thailand decided to follow? </strong><br />A- Singaporean School Year<br />B- Australian School Year <br />C- European School Year<br />D- American School Year<br />E- None of the above</p>\n<p>ANSWER - E None of the above !</p>\n<p><strong>The Reality</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand\'s reason for changing the school year is to fall in line with other ASEAN countries but the changes don\'t achieve this (unless all the other ASEAN countries also have plans to change their school years in 2014).</p>\n<p>Thailand is moving the school year forward just one month. In 2014, the school year will begin in June instead of May. So we\'re still not in line with Singapore or Malaysia or Europe or America.</p>\n<p>Why??&nbsp;No idea, seems like we\'ve fallen into the old trap of trying not to upset anyone but in turn not pleasing anyone.</p>\n<p>Anyhow, regardless of the lack of logic, these changes are coming and coming soon.&nbsp;So the real question is - How will the changes effect you?</p>\n<p><strong>The Money</strong></p>\n<p>Many teachers have contracts that expire in March and most schools will wait till June before starting new contracts - that\'s two months without a contract. Some teachers use the summer months to return home or travel around Asia and for those of you that have this in mind, I am envious.</p>\n<p><strong>But how about those of us that need to work?</strong></p>\n<p>I suspect that a lot of schools will run extended summer camps, so there will be some work, maybe 6 weeks, but it\'s unlikely they will be longer than that. It is definitely worth checking with your school soon to find out what they have planned.</p>\n<p>If your school isn\'t running an extended summer camp, don\'t despair because there will be plenty of work at language schools and tutor centers. I\'m sure they will be coming up with all sorts of ways to cash in on the opportunities of Summer 2014.</p>\n<p>And for those teachers with an entrepreneurial spirit, Summer 2014 may be a great opportunity to make some serious money. How about running your own soccer school, cooking school, dance club, drama group or ESL camp?</p>\n<p>As sure as I am that England will be leaving Brazil early, I\'m confident that there\'s gonna be a lot of parents looking for activities for their kids to do. One hundred days at home is a very, very long time.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/Dan12.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p><strong>The Paperwork</strong></p>\n<p>Making ends meet between March and June isn\'t the only issue, how about visas and work permits?? I\'ve gotta be honest, I\'m not sure how this will play out. The workings of these government departments are completely beyond my comprehension. What I do know is that they have a skill of making the easiest thing as difficult as possible, so be prepared. Again, I suggest checking with your school to find out if you will be covered during the break. Otherwise you may find yourself without a visa in May as you wait for the new school year to begin.</p>\n<p><img height=\"296\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/Dan10.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Summer 2014&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<p>Summer 2014 is still a long way away but like I said, it is worth giving some thought to now because the only thing you can be sure of is this - it won\'t be England lifting the World Cup in Brazil.</p>\n<p>---------------------------<br /><strong>More info:</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_term\">Wikipedia</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/622208-school-term-to-shift-by-a-month-to-coincide-with-schools-in-asean-thailand/\">ThaiVisa</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.asiatoday.com/pressrelease/thailand%E2%80%99s-education-experience-significant-change-toward-asean-community\">Asia Today</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2013-09-10 02:43:40',1,'2013-09-10 02:43:40','2013-09-10 17:05:41'),(15096,77,'Crisps, pasties and roast dinners','crisps-pasties-and-roast-dinners','What am I looking forward to most on my return home?','After a year in Thailand I am soon returning home to visit my family and friends.

In the UK, your non-contracts are protected by the Teacher\'s Pay &amp; Conditions. In international schools, there are no such agreements and although pay can be higher, the contracts are for two years and if your face doesn\'t fit, you could be out the door.</p>\n<p>The anxiety caused by two year contracts permeates staff rooms. There is a lot more jostling for favour and as a rule, unhappy teachers just put up and shut up. This itself leads to insular and very retrogressive teaching styles; death by PowerPoint and copy and comprehend exercises.

I hope so mostly because I am no longer on the battery hen production line of data driven, too - little - too late interventions and unrealistic targets set by managers in offices who rarely come into contact with children let alone pupils.</p>\n<p>I have smaller classes, more time to actualize personal learning, to realise potential and to raise aspirations. To work one-to-one with a struggling student or provide something extra for the Gifted and Talented pupil. We can connect via email, use VLEs to their full potential. International teachers move in different circles not bound by some of the more stringent rules. There are no behaviour issues to deal with but support for SEN and EAL can be sketchy and varies from school to school. It isn\'t perfect, but nowhere is.</p>\n<p>Underneath all these layers of pros and cons, lies the heart and soul of any good school, the pupil. I have met the most wonderful students but  the international school is not at the heart of a community like a UK school. The parents offer no loyalty, just high expectations and can (and do) move their children at a term\'s notice. Education is a commodity; it is a transient world, where teachers, schools and parents are interchangeable and replaceable.</p>\n<p>Would I swap it, change it? Not for the world. Ok maybe not for England right now.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-09-12 19:46:08',1,'2013-09-12 19:46:08','2013-09-13 09:09:09'),(15124,78,'Watch out for the fuzz','watch-out-for-the-fuzz','Encounters with the boys in brown','I have been part of a few police stops during my time and have heard several other stories of encounters with the Thai police. All of the following really did happen.','<p>After my previous <a href=\"/blogs/zach-laan/lucky-plates/\">blog about license plates</a> I decided a follow up was in order. I have never seen a \"9999\" license plate pulled over by Thai police and watched the exchange. I figure it\'s kind of a Thai albatross of sorts. However, I have been part of a few stops during my time and have heard several other stories of encounters with police. All of the following did happen.</p>\n<p><strong>1. Arai naaaaa?</strong></p>\n<p>I had just made a down payment on a Honda City to make the commute to see my girlfriend at the time easier. My school was in Kantaralak, a district in Si Saket about 35km from the Cambodian border and an hour drive from Ubon Ratchatani. I came into Ubon for some baguettes and a KFC, as my district did not possess those lovely Western delights. As I was driving out of the city a cop flagged me down.</p>\n<p>I had my Canadian license, but no international one. I also had no supporting paperwork, as it was all in my girlfriend\'s name. At the time my Thai was strong, but I made a conscious decision to play dumb and use only English. After some awkward exchanges (cop\'s English wasn\'t good) he managed to convey that he was going to take me to the station to write me up and do who knows what else. A few more words, I handed him 800 baht and was on my way home. I gave his family a nice meal at MK and he didn\'t bust me or empty my whole wallet. Thai Thai.</p>\n<p><strong>2. Government ID\'s</strong></p>\n<p>When I had my Honda City we had a regular license plate, but my girlfriend was a Thai government high school teacher with full benefits and the ID card to go with it. These are the teachers who have the brown uniforms with gold shoulder boards on Monday\'s and have special all white outfits for auspicious occasions. Side note: I love the way Thailand uses the word \"auspicious\" to mark occasions.</p>\n<p>Anytime we got stopped at a checkpoint she simply flashed her ID and we were waved through without a second glance. My Thai homestay mother is a government dentist and it was the same thing with her. After I got hit with the 800 baht pay-off my girlfriend yelled at me for being an idiot. I got stopped several times after while driving alone and simply picked up the phone and called her. Thirty second explanation of her government status to the officer and I was good to go.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Youth Factor</strong></p>\n<p>Before Kantaralak I was stationed in Sakon Nakhon and my transportation was a 100cc Honda Wave bike. The high school was next to the rajaphat university, technical college and primary school. You can imagine the mad dash in the morning with all the students. I had a helmet, but wasn\'t particularly fond of wearing it. Mainly because I\'m super cool and a bit of a moron.</p>\n<p>There would be traffic cops at the U-turns close by the schools a few days a week. The first few times they stopped me and asked about the helmet. I played the \"No Thai\" gag and explained that I was a teacher at the high school. They waved me through. Teachers are highly respected in Thai culture and in a smaller town like that I got the nod. I was also smart by smiling a lot and showing my gratitude for their kindness. For the rest of the year they got to know my face and we would just smile and nod at each other in the morning. No 200 baht ticket for me. Did it have anything to do with the fact that I was a 24 year old Caucasian male with blue eyes and light hair who smiled? Absolutely. Is this a topic for another article? You betcha.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Bangers</strong></p>\n<p>A security dude on the Skytrain once came sprinting down and almost tackled me because my foot was on that stupid yellow line. My friend, who lived in Bangkok and was with me when it happened, made \"banok\" (country bumpkin) jokes at my expense for the rest of the night. This has nothing to do with cops. Just shows the difference between the city and country and the way people follow rules. I would\'ve probably been busted for the 200 baht helmet thing in Bangkok regardless of my age and physical features, but in Sakon Nakhon? You\'re laughing.</p>\n<p><strong>5. Fourty Four</strong></p>\n<p>My homestay father owned the Honda CRV with a \"44\" license plate as mentioned in the previous article. He paid 120,000 baht ($4,000) for it. During that time he drove like a bat of out hell all around Isaan and never had a problem. No accidents, no tickets and VIP treatment. And in case you wondering, bat out of hell speed is 150-160km/h.</p>\n<p>Currently, he owns a Toyota Camry Hybrid with the license plate \"11.\" I asked if he paid for that number, but it was actually the 11th Toyota Camry Hyrbid purchased in Khon Kaen province for that year\'s model. Neat. So sometimes it might just be the 15th Mercedes that was bought in Nakhon Somewheres. Does he have extra pull driving an expensive car and being the 11th person to buy it? You better believe it. Now imagine you had \"9999\" on a BMW or Porsche. Yowza.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Saffron</strong></p>\n<p>The reason I came to Thailand in 2007 was to visit my mother who was already working at a temple school in Nongkhai. She worked with the Thai teachers who were also monks and they would travel around together. It was always a borderline gong show.  A 50-something Canadian woman riding along with a 30 something Thai monk doesn\'t happen often in Thailand, much less the rural parts. As you can imagine, they were met mostly with slack-jawed stares of pure befuddlement from the local coppers. They were too confused to even ask a question. If you want to make Thai heads explode as a farang, befriend a monk. Also, my mom could\'ve made millions smuggling contraband across the Mekong into Nongkhai from Laos with that sweet transportation setup. Talk about a wasted opportunity. We could\'ve been the first farang kingpins. Ugh. Moms are the worst.</p>\n<p>Note: This is not a commentary on anything, nor is it meant to show the Honourable Royal Thai Police in a negative light. It\'s simply a few stories about things I experienced.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve had any funny, wild or crazy encounters with the boys in brown and want to share, <a href=\"/blogs/zach-laan/lucky-plates/\">drop me a line</a>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-09-15 17:30:00',1,'2013-09-15 17:30:00','2013-09-16 07:07:02'),(15143,4,'A permanent \'yes\' relationship to the world','a-permanent-yes-relationship-to-the-world','What it means to be poor','My family means a lot to me.

I was teaching English at a language school in South Korea in early 2003 when this showed up in my inbox.</p>\n<p>\"Steve, I am having some problems.  John (a pseudonym for my sister\'s husband) is beating me and has threatened to kill me.  We had to call the police and they took him away.  Daddy is now sleeping over and has been here since last week.  But I need to ask you a favor. I saw a house that I want to buy.  It would be good for us (my sister and her two children) to get away from this place and start over.  But I need $20,000 for the down payment.  Daddy doesn\'t know and would be probably disapprove if he found out.  That\'s why I\'m asking you.  Please let me know ASAP. I love you and take care.\"</p>\n<p>I wrote back immediately.  Yes, I said.  Take whatever you need.  We are family, but shouldn\'t dad know what you want to do?</p>\n<p>In the end, my sister didn\'t borrow the money from me.  She told my father and, far from disapproving, he gave her the money she needed.  She moved out, bought a new house, and then sold her old one.  I was glad at the time that I had the money.  Ten years later, I have a lot more.  So does the rest of my family.  We take care of each other.</p>\n<p>I have lived and taught in Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, and China.  Like other foreigners in this part of the world, I have seen and done many things.  I have made great friends and have gotten involved with the wrong women.  I have made mistakes and have learned painful lessons.  But one mistake I have not made is marrying a third-world peasant.  I can only imagine my feeble and impotent response to my sister\'s desperate plea for help had I\'d been involved with a third-world peasant family in Southeast Asia.</p>\n<p>\"Sorry sis, I\'d love to help you out but my wife has all my money.  Her mother needs an operation and her father had a motorbike accident while delivering sacks of rice to the market.  The monsoon rains are coming so I had to replace the leaky bamboo roof on their house in the village, and my sister-in-law\'s seven children all start school soon so I had to buy uniforms, pencils, and notebooks.\"</p>\n<p>You get the idea.  Anyone married into a third-world peasant family knows exactly what I\'m talking about.</p>\n<p>In the spirit of full disclosure, I have been there and done that.  Like so many others, I too have a past.  When you\'ve been in and out of Asia since 1997, you develop a past.  In 2007-2008, I made a terrible mistake for which I am still paying; not financially, but emotionally and psychologically.   While teaching in a middle school in South Korea, I took three trips to the Philippines to look for a wife.  I almost found one; or two; or more if I wanted.  Did I really want a wife from a third-world country?  I don\'t know.  But I did what I did and learned a painful lesson.</p>\n<p>I am 54 years old.  I hold a Canadian passport as well as a Canadian birth certificate.  That wouldn\'t get me a cup of coffee and a donut back in my hometown, but flash a Canadian passport in the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam and suddenly I\'m a superstar!   Just about any 20 year old can be mind.  It doesn\'t matter how fat I am.  It doesn\'t matter if I suffer from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and gout.  It doesn\'t matter how many teeth fall out of my mouth.  It doesn\'t matter if I\'m bald, deaf, blind, or need help going to the bathroom.  I\'m from Canada and have a six-figured bank account, and in a third-world country like the Philippines where 3,000 of its citizens leave everyday for greener pastures, I\'m one hell of a catch.</p>\n<p>If you think that fact makes me feel good, you would be wrong.  It neither fills me with joy nor compassion.  Instead, the fact that so many third-world girls and women relentlessly and shamelessly throw themselves at desperate and damaged men from the first-world makes me sick:  This coming from someone who, again, has been there and done that.</p>\n<p>Was it a conversion on the road to Damascus?   Who knows?   I do know one thing:  You can work to help solve a problem, or you can contribute to the problem.  Being an educator, I have chosen to help solve the problem by simply staying out of it.</p>\n<p>In 2011 while teaching at a Phnom Penh English Language Institute, I had the \"honor \"of having email order brides in my class.  Once I found out what their<br />modus operandi was I began to question them.  One of the conversations went something like this:</p>\n<p>ME:  So, why do you want to learn English?  <br />HER:  I learn English so move to America.<br />ME:  What will you do in America?<br />HER:  I live with boyfriend.<br />ME:  Oh, so tell me about your boyfriend.  How old is he?<br />HER:  Five-five.<br />ME:  You mean fifty-five?<br />HER:  Yes.<br />ME:  And how old are you?<br />HER:  Two-one.<br />ME:  You mean twenty-one?<br />HER:  Yes.  <br />ME:  Where did you meet him?<br />HER:  On Internet.<br />ME:  And what does your mom and dad think of this?<br />HER:  They say okay.</p>\n<p>I\'ll mercifully stop here.  Another email order bride at the same school, barely out of her teens, had a similar story.  The difference was that she had a Khmer boyfriend and did not want to go to America.  Her extended family was forcing her to marry a 40-something year old man she had never met personally, but only communicated with over the Internet.  It\'s about money, said one Khmer teacher brave enough to talk about this in the teacher\'s room that day.  Well, duh!</p>\n<p>While teaching at a high-school in Northeast Thailand in 2010, I \"lost\" a few female students over the course of the year.  I say \"lost\" because no one wanted to tell me what really happened.  I had to do some digging.  It turns out that sometimes mommy and daddy go into debt.  And sometimes it\'s more than sometimes.  They really can\'t afford that brand new 1.2 million baht car, but daddy just had to have it.   So little \"Nid\" had to pay the price by being sent to Pattaya.  The money little \"Nid\" sends back home by sleeping with foreign men will certainly pay for mommy and daddy\'s spanking new Ford parked outside their Issan shack.</p>\n<p>I like to live in countries like Thailand and Cambodia for several reasons:  To teach, to learn, to reconnect with my true self, and to study human evil.  In places like Thailand and Cambodia, there is a lot to teach, a lot to learn, and a lot of human evil.  One reason I didn\'t go to Thailand and Cambodia:  To help mail order brides with their English so that sex-tourists can better communicate with them.  In a situation like that, one of us will have to walk out of the classroom, and it\'s always me.  Let someone else do that dirty work and to hell with the sex-industry that has now worked its slimy way into the classrooms and boardrooms of developing and non-developing nations alike.</p>\n<p>This reality angers me, but I save the lion\'s share of my anger and disdain for Western EFL teachers who marry financially poor and uneducated women (usually much younger women) from the third-world.  I fully understand that many of these women may be physically attractive, charming, and can steal the ATM cards from pack of wild orangutans.  What I don\'t get is this:  Many of these EFL teachers claim to care about education, especially the education of Southeast Asian village girls.  Yet many of them will marry an illiterate peasant girl who never finished primary school:  EFL teacher, meet cognitive dissonance; cognitive dissonance, meet EFL teacher.  Do I believe these EFL teachers truly love these women?  Yes, absolutely.  Do I believe these women truly love the EFL teachers?  No not at all.  (Notice I said \"truly.\"  More on true love later)</p>\n<p>My family means a lot to me.  In fact, they are all I have left.  We are very close and I communicate regularly with my father and two sisters through Skype, email, and Facebook.  I know how fortunate I am to have the family I do.  Unfortunately, not too many others can say the same.</p>\n<p>During my 18 months in Cambodia I spent most of my Friday nights and the occasional Saturday at the rabbi\'s residence for prayer and to share a Shabbat meal with my fellow Jews.  The singing, eating, and drinking were always fun and jovial and the camaraderie between fellow Jews in Southeast Asia was always touching.  But what saddened me, especially as a Jew, were more than a few people who were so lost, strangers in a strange land.</p>\n<p>\"I spent more than 30 years in Asia\", said one American man in his 60\'s.  \"I have nowhere else to go.\"</p>\n<p>\"I remember you telling me last week that you have a brother in Boston\", I said to him.</p>\n<p>\"Yes, but I haven\'t seen that son-of-a-bitch in 30 years!\"</p>\n<p>Another man hasn\'t seen his children in almost as long.  And on and on it goes.  Foreign expats in Asia running away from something:  The issues run deep and are dangerous to dig up.  I\'ve met so many of them; young and old alike in Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, and China.  It\'s sad because there is not a Sunday night that goes by when my father and I exchange \"I love you\'s\" and \"I miss you\'s\" on Skype.  While there are families that are as close as mine, those that are not feed the perception in Asia that we Westerners don\'t care about our parents or children.</p>\n<p>While back home in the summer of 2012 waiting for my paperwork for China, I re-read one of my favorite books.  It\'s a little-known obscure book written by an American pastor named Garret Keizer.  The Book is simply titled \"Help.\"  The subtitle calls it \"The original human dilemma.\"   Keizer draws on his own personal experience as well as history and the biblical story of the Good Samaritan to discuss when it may be appropriate to help other people and when to steer clear of them.</p>\n<p>I bring this book up because I was just talking about some EFL teachers marrying Southeast Asian peasant girls.  Keizer also talks about the poor, the American poor and the worlds poor.  He quotes David Shipler\'s book, The Working Poor:  You are considered poor \"not by a lack of money, but by a lack of hope.\"</p>\n<p>Keizer goes one better than that:  being poor, according to Keizer, \"is the inability to renounce anything.  To live in poverty is to exist in a permanent yes relationship to the world.  When you have nothing, you must say yes to everything.\"</p>\n<p>The truly poor cannot afford a house, a new car, fancy clothes, or shoes.  They also can\'t afford to say \"No.\"  So when a sweet-talking foreigner (possibly and EFL teacher, but not always) flashes the cash and promises the moon to a young peasant girl and her family, (regardless of whether or not he can deliver), she can\'t say no.  She exists in a permanent yes relationship to the world.  That\'s what it truly means to be poor.</p>\n<p>What does this have to do with TEFL and English teachers?  If  English teachers need a reason for doing what they do, it is this:  To teach people to renounce what they don\'t really want or need; to break the permanent yes relationship chain that binds the poor to the world.  In other words, through our teaching we must give people the option to say no; a loud, clear, and resounding \"NO!\"  I know how difficult this is whenever I\'m rejected after asking a woman on a date.  Then I remember two things:  She has good taste, and she does not live in a permanent yes relationship to the world.  One of the reasons I teach in Asia is so that poor and disadvantaged women wouldn\'t have to marry Western men who see as their only option in life to marry a woman who can\'t say no.</p>\n<p>This leads me to another definition, the definition of marriage.  Before going out on a limb by defining something as historically and culturally sacred as marriage, allow me a salient example or two of my eventual definition.</p>\n<p>While at home last year waiting for my work visa for China, my father and I would regularly have dinner at my sister\'s home; one sister on Tuesday evening and my other sister on Sunday.  Occasionally, a lady friend of my father would join us.  In her 60\'s, her parent\'s holocaust survivors, we would chat about many things along the way to my sister\'s house.  She would spend many hours each week visiting her father in a nursing home because, apparently, after 68 years of marriage, her mother decided that it was time to separate.  Why, after 68 years of marriage?  I have no idea.</p>\n<p>Also while at home waiting for my work visa for China, I noticed my father, first thing every morning, looking at the obituary section of the Montreal Gazette.  \"Guess who died yesterday?\" my father would ask me as I was about to leave for my McDonald\'s breakfast ritual.</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t know, dad, who?\"</p>\n<p>Then he would tell me.  His old childhood friend Harvey died of a heart attack; his past running buddy died of a stroke; then the brother of a friend died of cancer.  The list went on and on.</p>\n<p>This may sound like a harmless game played between bored father and his even more bored son; but it wasn\'t.  After about three months of this I asked my father how many of his friends and acquaintances have died since I came back from Cambodia.  He did a quick count and concluded that it was probably more than 10 but less than 15.  This includes three people in one day; so much for being 79 and enjoying your \"golden years.\"</p>\n<p>On my way to my sister\'s house on Sunday, and before we would pick up my father\'s lady-friend, my father and I would stop off at Maimonides Nursing Home to visit an old friend of his who didn\'t die.  He did, however, suffer a stroke a few months before, which left him semi-paralyzed and unable to remember who people were.  My father would bring his dog, a 12 year old shiatsu named Poochie, and together we would watch a Filipina nurse shovel food down his throat.  On occasion an alarm would sound throughout the building signaling an attempted escape by one of the \"inmates.\"  The inmate would always be caught by a massive and overly-aggressive guard and be dragged back kicking, biting, scratching, and screaming to his or her room to be given a sedative.  After 20-30 minutes of this, it was time to leave; time to buy bagels and cream-cheese and drive to my sisters.</p>\n<p>This time it was my turn to initiate conversation while walking back to the car.  \"Dad, I hope I never have to go through anything like that.  A nursing home like this is the last place in the world I want to end up in.  Retiring in Thailand in my condo in the sky, dying on the beach, or in Playpen-a-go-go, with a gin and tonic in one hand and the ass of a 20 year old in the other... now that\'s the way to go!\"</p>\n<p>Okay, I didn\'t actually say Playpen-a-go-go or 20 year old ass; but forgive me for thinking it.</p>\n<p>\"Steve\", my father began, \"remember the more than 10 but less than 15 of my friends and acquaintances who have met their maker in the less than three months since you\'ve been back?\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes.\"</p>\n<p>\"They are the lucky ones.  They don\'t have to lie in a hospital bed hoping that their children or grandchildren will visit them.  They are in heaven looking upon their children and grandchildren.  They are the lucky ones.\"</p>\n<p>They are the lucky ones.  Indeed.  As Keizer so aptly put it, you want loyalty?  Get a dog!</p>\n<p>This brings me back to my definition of marriage:  A pathological union between a sex-starved male and a childlike and simple-minded female who\'s only emotional, spiritual, and psychological connection to one another is the shared human proclivity for torture and a penchant for self-inflicted punishment.</p>\n<p>Okay, I\'m joking --- or maybe I\'m half-joking; but I am rather fond of that definition.  Here is my real definition of marriage:  Marriage is an end of life insurance policy.  Pause here for a moment and think about that:  An end of life insurance policy.  How did I come up with that?   Just about everything that I have said up to this point and everything that I have seen and done, especially in my 15 years in Asia, has led me to that definition of marriage.</p>\n<p>A confession is in order here.  I am not a very patient man, especially when it comes to women; and even more especially when it comes to Asian women.  I find most of them childlike in their nature, the single ones that is.  Married Asian women are another story.  Focusing on gossip, make-up, clothes, pop-music, movie stars, and other \"earth shattering\" matters; well, that\'s just not my cup of tea. On a date I am not very much interested if she prefers Gucci to Prada, thinks it\'s cool that Kim Kardashian named her baby daughter \"North West\", knows every word to Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber songs, can dance flawlessly to \"Gangnam Style\", and idolizes Miley Cyrus\'s foam finger, (although, as a human being, this should concern and frighten me to the core.)  I would much prefer that she be well-raised, well-mannered, well-dressed, well-read, and well-educated.  Being able to quote Shakespeare and Schopenhauer would be nice as well.  I am certainly not holding my breath.</p>\n<p>On the very rare occasion that I do go on a date, I just want to know one thing.  If there is a future here, then there can be but one essential question for me:  Where will you be in 20 years when I\'m dying of cancer; or in 10 years if I\'m lucky?  Where will you be when I\'m 80 years old and can\'t bend down to wipe my ass?</p>\n<p>Okay, I know how romantic that is; and I also know that that\'s two questions.  But I have chosen to have all my romantic inclinations surgically removed since they are practically useless in China, Thailand, Cambodia, Korea, the Philippines, and in most places where money is king.  So that\'s the only question I have on the first date, and as you can well imagine, there is almost never a second date.</p>\n<p>Maybe, dear reader, you can understand (I know I do) why this question is so essential to me.  All I have to do is think back.  All I must do is listen, learn, and   remember.  Listen to the endless ramblings of my father\'s friend in a hospital bed that his children don\'t visit him; listen to the gut-wrenching anger and heartbreak of person after person in Southeast Asia who haven\'t seen or spoken to family members in 30 years; listen and learn from the heart-wrenching stories of my father\'s lady friend whose mother left her father babbling in a hospital room after 68 years together; remember my ex-girlfriends from the Philippines, one who cheated on me while my mother lay dying in a nursing home, the one soon after who left me standing alone at the airport wondering if she would show up once she realized that I would not be taking her to Canada after all.  Trafficking in human persons is also not my cup of tea; my apologies to human traffickers and the women who love them.</p>\n<p>Where are you going to be in 20 years when I\'m dying of cancer?  Now that\'s a good question to ask someone who couldn\'t be bothered to meet me at the airport.  <br />I did ask her that question, by the way; in an email months later.  I never did receive a response.  In that email I told her a story from a book I had read several years before; a book by the Jewish-American novelist Philip Roth titled \"Patrimony.\"  The book is what we Jews call a \"Kaddish\" (a prayer for the dead.)  A true story, it\'s about Roth\'s father who, at the age of 86 was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  Like any good son, Philip Roth took care of his father and became, as Publishers Weekly describes, \"a helpless, horrified witness to his father\'s humiliating demise.\"  One particular scene stood out.</p>\n<p>Roth and his father were having dinner one night.  The elder Roth was constipated and had taken a laxative the day before.  While eating he excused himself as the laxative began to kick in.  The bathroom was upstairs and down the hall, but the elder Roth never made it in time.  By the time Philip went to check on his father, he found the old man whimpering on the bathroom floor in his own piss and shit, his pants pulled halfway down his legs.  Philip did the only thing he could; he cleaned up his father.  He undressed him and gave his dying father a bath.  He cleaned the floor.  While lovingly soaping every inch of his father\'s nakedness, Philip Roth realized something about life.  This is patrimony, he realized.  This is love.</p>\n<p>Love is not just flowers and chocolate on Valentine\'s Day.  Love is not just saying \"I love you\" over and over again until the words become meaningless.  Love is also cleaning up your dying father\'s piss and shit.  Love is staying with your husband of 68 years.  It\'s an end of life insurance policy.  Have you ever tried collecting on your insurance after 68 years?  After 50 years?  After 30 years?  I\'m 86 years old!  I have a brain tumor!  I\'ve had a stroke!  I have Alzheimer\'s.  I\'m sitting here in my own piss and shit!  I\'m lying in a hospital bed while some nurse from Asia shovels food down my throat!  I can\'t remember who my grandchildren are!   It\'s time to collect.</p>\n<p>Where are you going to be in 20 years when I\'m dying of cancer?</p>\n<p>Dear reader, don\'t believe for one second that I\'m flogging a dead horse; anyone with more than three brain cells who has ever been involved with an Asian woman knows that the horse is very much alive and chomping at the bit.

Sorry if I couldn\'t email you a long one right now because I\'m still tired. I need to rest first.  Sweetheart if it\'s true that you really love me, how could you stand me suffering?  You could help me couldn\'t you?  I want to watch after my daddy.  Okay show me how much you love me. I have to go I need more sleep...I love you very much Steve.</p>\n<p>This email was sent to me by an ex-girlfriend; the same ex-girlfriend who cheated on me while I was back home watching my mother die of complications of multiple sclerosis from which she had suffered for the previous 20 years.  It is especially significant since it was written on November 13, 2008, seventy-four days after my mother\'s death on the first of September.</p>\n<p>Excuse me, dear reader while I play a game.  I usually don\'t play games; you can ask any of my students.  But I can\'t resist this time.  Let\'s call this game \"I am God\" mostly for two reasons:  First, I like playing God; I find I learn more about life that way.  Second, it seems to me that this question, \"Sweetheart, kung totoo mahal muko bakit natitiis moko na mahirapan?\"  (Sweetheart, if it\'s true that you really love me, how can you stand me suffering), is a question one should be asking God, not a mere mortal like me.  \"You could help me, couldn\'t you?\"</p>\n<p>Yes, I suppose I could have (by perhaps emptying my bank account) but there are two essential questions here that are well worth asking:</p>\n<p>1)	How can I be of any help?<br />2)	Why should I help?</p>\n<p>Before attempting to answer these questions through the parable of the Good Samaritan, let\'s play \"I am God.\"  First, the parable taken from Garret Keizer\'s book \"Help:  The Original Human Dilemma.\"</p>\n<p>Jesus replied, \"A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.  Now by chance a priest was going down that road when he saw him, he passed on by the other side.  So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity.  He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them.  Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said \'Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.\'  Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?\"  He said, \"The one who showed him mercy.\"  Jesus said to him, \"Go and do likewise.\" <br />(Page 24-25.)</p>\n<p>\"Sweetheart, if it\'s true that you really love me, how can you stand me suffering?\"</p>\n<p>The only way I can truly answer that question is to give the same answer that God would give.  It\'s been five years since this experience.  I too have suffered, but I think enough time has passed for a response that is wise and germane, but what most of us in our ignorance, denial, and childish naivety simply refuse to properly hear.</p>\n<p>No, my dear, I cannot stand you suffering.  As a compassionate human being, I hate to see you suffer; but suffer you must if you are to grow and learn something truly important from your suffering.  Once you pass through your suffering, once you make that journey to the other side, you will come out of it stronger, wiser, and able to make the decisions and life choices you need in order to realize and fulfill your destiny on earth.</p>\n<p>Wow, I feel so much better now.  As God I may even quote one of my favorite poems titled \"I walked a Mile with Pleasure\" by Robert Browning Hamilton.</p>\n<p>I walked a mile with Pleasure<br />she chatted all the way.<br />But left me none the wiser<br />for all she had to say.<br />I walked a mile with Sorrow<br />And ne\'er a word said she.<br />But, oh! The things I learned from her<br />when sorrow walked with me.</p>\n<p>Yes my child, you are suffering; you feel sorrow.  But now is time to close your mouth.  It is now time to open your ears and your heart and listen to what life and God are telling you.  There is a reason you are suffering.  There is a reason you are now walking a mile with sorrow.  And there is a reason, a very good reason, why Sorrow does not speak.   Sorrow does not speak because she wants you to listen and learn.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Where ESL teachers and other foreigners make the fatal mistake when getting involved with Asian women, in particular, Southeast Asian women like my ex-girlfriend, is this:</p>\n<p>1)	Thinking that these poor and uneducated women actually love them; and<br />2)	Thinking that their current predicament is only temporary and by playing the \'good Samaritan\', with enough time, patience, and love they will turn their lives around.</p>\n<p>Either these foreigners are extremely naive or they are not well-versed when it comes to the biblical version of the Good Samaritan.  As Keizer clearly states in his interpretation, \"The Good Samaritan certainly goes the extra mile, but he hardly goes the whole distance.  There is, as we like to say nowadays, closure to this good deed.  The duration of his commitment is less than twenty-four hours.  When the sun rises on the new day, he moves on.\"  (p. 25.)</p>\n<p>He moves on; he doesn\'t hang around long enough to hear the sob stories.  Papa have accident, momma need operation, brother number one must go school, need money for rice and vegetables... less than 24 hours and his good deed is done.  And the Good Samaritan is certainly not receiving pleading emails like,</p>\n<p>\"Sweetheart, if it\'s true that you really love me, how can you stand me suffering?\"</p>\n<p>The Good Samaritan is also not sitting in cafes with his Southeast Asian beloved and listening as she asks, \"But if you really love me, why don\'t you take me to Canada?\"   If he wants to know how she\'s doing after her mishandling at the hands of the robbers, he could simply wait a week or two and check her Facebook page.  That\'s just enough time for her to trash the room at the inn and slam the Good Samaritan as a selfish pig who uses Southeast Asian women as toys for his own perverted pleasure.  Or better yet, after her Facebook post, I would love to see my Southeast Asian beloved standing on the roof of the inn shouting at the top of her lungs, \"I don\'t need your pity!  I don\'t need your money!  So take your six-figured bank account, your mutual funds, your stock options, your retirement savings plan and shove it up your ass!\"  (Remember, the original Good Samaritan was \"moved with pity\" when he first saw the beaten man.)  But this kind of self-reliance and renunciation of an easy meal ticket would take a very mature and courageous Southeast Asian woman who still lives in a permanent yes relationship to the world.</p>\n<p>Instead, I received this on August 2, 2008 less than a month before my mother died:</p>\n<p>Sweetheart this is emergency u know my brother victor right? Sweetheart he\'s died today somebody shot him his head....he is in funeral now...please help me I need money for his burial....they guy shot him 11am died my brother died already...please help me for this time<br />This my no# xxxxxxxxxxx.<br />plssssssssss<br />love **** xxx</p>\n<p>At first I thought it was a joke, or an extortion attempt.  I did find out several weeks later that her brother really was murdered by a member of the Abu Siyyaf, a Muslim terrorist group based in Southern Mindanao.  I\'m not sure what my response was at the time, (probably something feeble like \"I\'m sorry to hear that, darling\"), but I do know what my response would be today.</p>\n<p>\"Oh come on lady!  I bandaged your wounds.  I poured oil and wine on them.  I brought you to the inn and took care of you.  I gave you two denarii, which should have tied you over for at least two weeks.  Now get back on your fucking donkey and ride off into the sunset!\"</p>\n<p>Yes, I have come a long way baby.  You want loyalty?  Get a dog!</p>\n<p>While writing this I finally realized why my question \"Where will you be in 20 years when I\'m dying of cancer?\" is so offensive to many Southeast Asian women.<br />While sitting opposite you enjoying their Caesar Salad and anxiously awaiting the main course, they are asking something very similar.  But it\'s not their own eventual demise that they are anticipating; it is their mother or father\'s eventual death, or another family member.</p>\n<p>\"Sweetheart he\'s died today somebody shot him his head....he is in funeral now...please help me I need money for his burial....\"</p>\n<p>The Caesar Salad and main course in a fancy air-conditioned restaurant is nice.  So is the genuine Louis Vuitton handbag you bought her for her birthday and the 18 carat gold earrings for Valentine\'s Day.  But that\'s not why the third-world peasant is marrying the old white guy.  She needs money for future funerals, and unlike the old white guy, she\'s planning ahead.</p>\n<p>So am I.  I see my modern and spacious condo in the sky overlooking the Gulf of Siam.  I see bookshelves full of books and a fridge full of cold coffee and orange juice.  (No beer, I still have gout!)  I see satellite TV with 400 channels and sunrises from my balcony.  I see my dog wagging his tail.  The future looks good.</p>\n<p>One more definition, dear reader, before I go: but I must warn you, it\'s a biggie.  For my final act, I will now define love.  I told you it was a biggie.  I\'m kind of partial to Antoine de Saint Exupery\'s (the French World War Two pilot and author of \"The Little Prince\") definition of love.  \"Love is the process which leads one back to oneself.\" Ah, that\'s lovely Mr. Saint Exupery.  A large part of love is the reconnection to the person we all once were.  But I think I will go one up on you.  It is not my definition, (I wish it were), but it\'s the best definition of love I have ever heard.</p>\n<p>At the end of the musical \"Les Miserable\" (again, those Frenchmen!), as Jean Valjean lay dying, he explains to Cosette, Fantine\'s daughter that he helped raise as his own and now and adult, the story which had brought them to that point.  He also told her the \"truth that once was spoken.  To love another person is to see the face of God.\"</p>\n<p>\"To love another person is to see the face of God.\"  I\'m going to try and put this into perspective.</p>\n<p>At the end of the 11th Century, the Christian philosopher and theologian St. Anselm of Canterbury was asked, \"What is God?\"  His response:</p>\n<p>\"God is that which nothing greater can be conceived.\"</p>\n<p>I would put love, true love, the love that God wants us to experience and enjoy, into that definition as well.  There is nothing greater that can be conceived and experienced than true love.</p>\n<p>But here is an important question:  Why God\'s face?  Why not another part of his anatomy?  Why not, to love another person is to see the leg of God?  Why not, to love another person is to see the arm of God?  Could it be that the face, whether God\'s face or our lover\'s face contains the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?  Looking into God\'s face, there is no place to hide.  Seeing the face of God in those whom we love is to live totally in the truth.  Unfortunately, far too many people in the world choose to take the easy way out by living a lie or a series of lies.  Looking into our lover\'s face is scary.  Seeing the face of God can be frightening.  It is much easier to look away from the truth.  But that is not why we are here.</p>\n<p>Eric Liddell, a devout Christian, a Scottish missionary, and a runner in the 1924 Paris Olympics, (made famous in the movie \"Chariots of Fire\"), also puts this into perspective.  During the movie, based on a real life episode, Liddell\'s sister Jennie accuses her brother of putting running before God.  Liddell tells Jennie that he feels divinely inspired when running, and that not to run would be to dishonor God.  Then these famous words to his sister that still send shivers up my spine whenever I see it on YouTube:  \"I believe that God made me for a purpose.  But He also made me fast, and when I run, I feel His pleasure.\"</p>\n<p>With these awe-inspiring words, Liddell gets right to the core of why we were put on earth.  Liddell knows exactly why God put him here.  He knows his purpose.  And when he fulfills God\'s purpose, he feels His pleasure.</p>\n<p>Now this is what gets me in trouble, especially on a date:  Since I know my purpose on earth it\'s easy for me to say, \"You want to please me, first please God.  You want to feel my pleasure, first feel God\'s pleasure.  Only then will you know you are doing the right thing.\"</p>\n<p>So this is our purpose on earth:  To seek the unique reason why we are here and to fulfill that purpose.  To show the rest of the world how brilliant we can be through both words and deeds; to bear witness to those who do bad, and those who do good; to speak out against those who do bad, and praise those who do good; to accurately document, for reasons of posterity, both the good and bad deeds; to see the face of God when we choose to truly love another person; to feel His pleasure when we do the right thing; to clean our mother or father\'s piss and shit when they can\'t make it to the toilet in time; to visit ageing parents and grandparents who languish alone in hospital beds or in their own homes; to stay with your husband of 68 years when he no longer remembers his own name and needs you the most; and for us educators, to walk into the classroom day after day and instill in the next generation a sense of the respect, responsibility, and restraint necessary to ensure that at appropriate moments in life, we have earned the privilege of feeling God\'s pleasure.</p>\n<p>I\'m thinking back to last Thanksgiving holiday back in Montreal.  While I was waiting for my \'Z\' visa to arrive from China, I received a call from my sister.  \"It\'s Thanksgiving.  Come to my house tonight for some turkey.\"</p>\n<p>My father was away that week visiting friends in Toronto.  But this is what Thanksgiving dinner looked like at my sister\'s house in October 2012.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Steve11.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>(From Left to right:  Me, my niece, her boyfriend, my brother-in-law, my sister, my other niece, her boyfriend.)</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Steve12.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>(From left to right:  My niece, her boyfriend, my brother-in-law, my sister, my niece\'s boyfriend, my niece, my other sister.)</p>\n<p>Yes the same other sister who sent me the email at the top of this blog.

I for one am 25 years old and despite being here for seven months, am still wildly unsure of what I want to do for a career. ','<p>Taking my first hazy steps onto the streets of Bangkok nearly 7 months ago feels almost like a dream. With no inkling of what the future held, I was essentially more lost than I was in the States. Being disoriented as a newcomer in the chaos that is Bangkok is somewhat of a typical feeling, but I was at ease with it. That is not such an easy thing to do when traveling to a country at the opposite end of the world - a country that you have only seen in pictures and heard of through the wild world of the Internet.</p>\n<p>Most notably, for a Westerner who has never experienced an eastern culture, Bangkok will make your head spin. The quick cadence, coupled with the hustle and flow this Thai city encompasses is not comparable to that of a large American metropolis (i.e. New York City). Sure the packs of wild dogs will be an uneasy regularity to comprehend initially - along with whizzing tuk-tuks, chatty street vendors, an extreme spectrum between the wealthy and impoverished, as well as the tonal banter of the Thai locals - but with an open mind and spirit, you\'ll hop right into the swing of things!</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob21.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Everybody has different needs and wants, along with different comfort levels when leaving their home turf. Specifically, teaching in Southeast Asia can be intimidating when leaving your family, friends, and Western standards behind. Your head may very well explode the first time you are handed a spoon instead of a knife - just take a deep breath and slowly allow yourself to adapt to Eastern culture.</p>\n<p>French fries can be found in big cities, but you will now become well acquainted with variants of the noodle and rice family. Familiarize yourself with the term: \"mai pen rai\" (no big deal/no worries) - not only will you hear it daily, but any time any sort of stressful situation arises in Thailand, the only remedy will be the use of this phrase.</p>\n<p>Buddhism flourishes throughout this culture, and even if you are not a religious person, the philosophies are expected to be maintained in daily life. So, your best option is to laugh it off when you get a flat tire on your motorbike in the middle of the monsoon season causing you to be an hour late to work. Odds are, someone will come running over to help you with a big smile on their face, fix your bike faster than a pit stop in a NASCAR race, and send you off, sopping wet and on your way. Yeah, you\'ll be late for work, but so will everybody else if it\'s raining - mai pen rai buddy!</p>\n<p>One thing I will say for any aspiring teachers who are even mildly contemplating the idea of hopping over the pond to teach is this: Give it a shot! I for one am 25 years old and despite being here for 7 months, am still wildly unsure of what I want to do for a career. Teaching English as a foreign language, especially in Thailand, is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to take on a leadership role. Yes, you are an English teacher following a curriculum given to you either by your school, your agency, or a combination of both, but once you step foot into the educational gauntlet that is a Thai classroom, you will quickly find out that Thai education is light years away from Western education.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob22.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>If you are looking for a break from your 9-5 lifestyle, if you\'re an aspiring teacher looking to gain classroom experience, if you\'re a traveler looking to make some cash, or if you are like me and want an opportunity to work in a new environment while gaining knowledge and experience, you will not be disappointed if you decide to make a move in the TEFL direction.</p>\n<p>Some things that are often overlooked in a teaching position overseas are the entrepreneurial qualities that come along with it. Initially, first impressions of a teaching position in a public school over in this neck of the woods can be quite daunting and you may find yourself questioning your decisions. As with many public school scenarios, many of the classes come in a supersized form with no organization or structure.</p>\n<p>You can find yourself in hot, stuffy classrooms with rickety old desks, a whiteboard fully equipped with grapefruit-sized holes, and students covering an entire spectrum of levels. You will most likely be thrown into this carnage with simple instructions from your higher-ups: Teach the kids English.</p>\n<p>If you\'re not told right off the bat, you will find out that Thai students like to have fun. They are loud and respond very well to an enthusiastic, charismatic classroom leader. So if you weren\'t informed in your contract, you will be part Hollywood actor/comedian and part educator - it is your new mission to change the world by teaching these enthusiastic Thai-kids how to speak English!</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob23.jpg\" width=\"225\" /></p>\n<p>Your first few lessons may go swimmingly - that game of \"Telephone\" was a smash hit with your Matyom 1 students and your M5\'s loved hearing about all the cool places you have seen in the world. Your first week might be liberating and although your newly tailored dress shirts and pants need to be wrung out at the end of every lesson, you feel like you can leave work everyday with a check mark in the \"job well done!\" column.</p>\n<p>Well boys and girls, just like in every new relationship, it is imperative to keep things invigorating and exciting - after a couple of weeks, those somersaults and cartwheels that killed it initially, will begin to generate half-hearted and wise chuckles from the crew of football guys that sit in the back of the room. The initial infatuation that magically wooed your entire slew of students may seem to weaken as you try to transport English knowledge from your mouth to their brain.</p>\n<p>You may find students interrupting your lesson to blurt simple, random English phrases and comments that have near nothing to do with your lesson on the simple present tense. These comments may include, but are not limited to: \"Teacher; go home!;\" the notorious and clich&eacute;, \"Teacher; play game;\" or naively referring to you as any notably famous person sharing the same skin color (in my case, the three most popular are Justin Bieber, Mr. Bean, and Harry Potter - none of whom I show any resemblance to.). Just like the tides, if you roll with it and refrain from swimming against it, the end product will be a more favorable outcome.</p>\n<p>There will be days when you drop down onto your knees and shake your fists in the air, bewildered that your countless hours of lesson preparation, perfectly timed jokes, and diversity of activities did not seem to stop the large majority of the class from chatting throughout your lessons. There will be certain instances, just like a parrot on the shoulder of a pirate, your students will repeat what you teach them, but any attempt at basic conversation will result in a vacant stare and a nervous Thai giggle.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob24.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Einstein has an interesting philosophy on \"insanity\" for situations like these - \"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.\" When you feel yourself perplexed and frustrated with your situation at school, take a deep breath. A majority of your students are at a very low level when it comes to the English language and instead of taking a bad lesson personally, do your best to take baby steps to victory.</p>\n<p>Thai students cannot fail - it is impossible. If a student decides to lollygag around for an entire term, refusing to put forth even an inkling of effort, that student will still move on to the next level. Any Google Search conducted with the word \"Thailand\" and the phrase \"No-Fail Policy\" will produce pages upon pages of research papers, articles, and whiny blogs about how the Thai education system needs a face-lift as soon as possible.</p>\n<p>The English level in Thailand, along with their test scores, are near the bottom of the spectrum, which adds a touch of fuel to the \"whiny-blog-fire.\" As a foreign teacher coming into an education system with these policies, it is important to note that you will have students that don\'t try and no matter how unjust it may seem, these students will still pass your class. Although this can be frustrating, it is important to focus on the students that DO want to learn, while attempting to create curiosity within the others.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob25.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>This is where the idea of being your own boss comes into play. Instead of spending your classroom time sprouting grey hairs on your noggin and barking out orders every time \"Donut\" and \"Bam\" are wrestling in the back of the room - engage your students. Show them that you want to be there and that learning English doesn\'t have to be copying notes from the whiteboard. Move around the room and involve everyone in some way, shape, or form. Change your voice, stand on a chair, crawl under a desk, make a funny face, play games - whatever you have to do to get the spotlight pointed in your direction, do it.</p>\n<p>You will always encounter \"the sleepers,\" \"cell phone chatters\" and \"too-cool-for-school-ers.\" Turn your frustrations and failed lessons into experiments. Take notes on how students learn in different scenarios and try to diversify your lessons to keep things fresh and interesting. Have some fun along this Tilt-a-Whirl of a lifestyle you chose and keep the whining to a minimum.</p>\n<p>At the end of the day, every student learns differently. When you are working in an education system that does not permit students to fail, the kids who are labeled \"bad students\" will take that as a Get Out of Jail Free Card and run down the halls with it - sometimes in addition to the card, they\'ll be carrying a dead reptile; try not to condone this type of activity in the halls and you should see students eventually lose interest in it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Rob27.JPG\" /></p>\n<p>You have to make these students crave class. They will need motivation to come in and learn what you are looking to teach them, so instead of being frustrated with failed lessons and a boring curriculum, use that entrepreneurial spirit and kick it up a notch. Remember, just like your significant other, flowers, candy, and a Hallmark greeting card can only work so many times. Why not try a self-written acoustic tune with some scented Yankee Candles? You may be tone-deaf, painful to listen to, and accident prone when you get too close to a flame, but the spontaneity will not go unnoticed.</p>\n<p>Word will get around if you try new things with your students. The kids that were skipping class at first may give you a shot eventually. As a whole, you will hopefully see your relationships with students improve and your lesson-floppage percentage drop. After all, you\'re teaching abroad to have a life-changing experience, right?</p>\n<p>Lighten up, take a risk, and try some new things. At the end of the term you may find that Thailand is still using their \"Swimmies\" to stay afloat with their English scores, but if your students leave your class with a smile and a bit more confidence using English than they had before, I\'d say that\'s a baby-step in the right direction.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-09-24 06:46:14',1,'2013-09-24 06:46:14','2013-09-24 20:08:15'),(15290,59,'A fruitful visit','a-fruitful-visit','When English club students and international school students meet','The purpose of the trip was to give my English Club members an opportunity to experience learning being in an English environment so that they could get inspiration to like English more.','<p>Last month, 10 Grade 4-6 English Club members of Wat Lakkhorn, a public school in Sainoi, Nonthaburi had a trip to Rose Marie Academy, an international school at Nichada Thani in Pak kret, also in Nonthaburi.</p>\n<p>Months ago, I asked&nbsp;the coordinator of my plan, but she was hesitant to allow us to go&nbsp;because of the children\'s safety ( we would be travelling more than 80 kilometers). But due to my accomplishment lately as a winning coach in impromptu speech, that took my student to the provincial level of competition, I was able to get the approval of my new director.</p>\n<p>The purpose of the trip was to give my English Club members an opportunity to experience learning being in an English environment so that they could get inspiration&nbsp;to like English more. Somehow I was able to achieve my goal for they were able to relate with Rose Marieans in their assigned classes. One more thing, the congeniality of the teachers, and staff of the school also helped in making the students feel at home.</p>\n<p>My students toured the school and saw several huge and impressive art work displays, experienced an hour and a half sessions with the students, ate lunch at their canteen, and were treated like honored and welcomed guests all throughout the day. This was highlighted by a friendly football match that my students enjoyed so much for even if they lost the game they were awarded silver medals like they had won in an Olympic competition.</p>\n<p>In appreciation for all these, my students sang an ASEAN song, did a&nbsp;Hawaiian dance, and gave souvenirs to their newfound friends. We might have known a little bit of the school but more than that we learned so much how it was to be a&nbsp;part of it.</p>\n<p>I thought my students would be the only one to benefit from this encounter, but to my surprise, I, their teacher, was able to learn something too. From one Math teacher, I learned the integration of mathematical computations in making cubes and prisms through discovery. He just presented ready-made cubes and prisms and it was up for students to discover how it was done. He said that students must learn to discover and experience failure so that he can attain ultimate success.</p>\n<p>This reinforced my knowledge that learning English using the discovery method can work too. A learner must figure out how to learn the language with the help of a knowledgeable English teacher. The teacher must transform the students to be smart not only studying the language but&nbsp;eager to learn it by taking down notes, using the dictionary, asking questions, listening to how words are said, talking to native speakers, studying extra time, watching English movies or listening to English music and programs on the radio.</p>\n<p>The second one was from the language arts teacher who utilized students\' background knowledge as springboard for learning. And the one I liked, best was the bulletin board display that showcased students writing outputs from varied levels that encouraged me to use it in my classes next term.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I have taught my students for nearly 4 years. I\'m pretty sure they are ready for it. In fact, I have already requested a hundred folders and fasteners for my students\' use next term. I will use my own drawings, clip arts of things from the internet, and things drawn by them, then they describe the art work depending on their ability. The finished work will be displayed uncorrected around the room, kept in a folio too so that I can see the authentic improvement in their written language and self-expression.</p>\n<p>Next time, I plan to take my English Club members to a place where they can interview native speakers and practice what they have learned from the club. Other than this, I will invite foreign speakers to whom my club members can interact with. I believe that \"Learning how to speak English is likened to learning swimming by frequently swimming in the pool.\"</p>','','2013-09-27 21:59:29',1,'2013-09-27 21:59:29','2013-09-28 12:12:31'),(15292,77,'Five myths about being a TEFL teacher','five-myths-about-being-a-tefl-teacher','I\'m sick of the moaners.....I really am!','I am sick and fed up of people coming out to Thailand with stupid misconceptions and then moaning about how awful it is to live in Thailand. Shut up and go home then! ','<h3>1. You don\'t really have to teach.</h3>\n<p>Put simply - you do. Some teachers find that they can get away with doing anything they like, including simply playing games and watching movies, but in most cases those teachers are posted out in the sticks, are the only foreign teacher in the village and the schools are happy just to have a farang face to show off.</p>\n<p>In reality if you want to teach abroad and live in a city (or at least somewhere with a bit of life in it), you are likely to end up in a big government school or private institution, both of which will expect you to submit lesson plans, to teach multiple subjects within ESL (communication, writing, reading, social studies, health...) and to write and grade midterm and final examinations to prove that the students are actually learning something.</p>\n<p>My school is at the more &lsquo;by the book\' end of the spectrum. At the start of term we are required to submit lesson plans for the whole semester (sixteen teaching weeks). The foreign teachers teach anything from 1 - 5 different subjects over 20-22 hours per week and need to write and grade exams every 8 weeks.</p>\n<p>Exam grades, along with grades collected throughout the semester from written work and speaking tests must be input on a spreadsheet and external database (which is handily completely in Thai). Some teachers have 500 students on their books - that is a lot of testing, grading and inputting!</p>\n<h3>2. You will live on a paradise island</h3>\n<p>Contrary to common belief, we don\'t all live on the beach in bamboo bungalows, floating from the hammock to class in a bikini and flip flops. In fact, I am particularly lucky to be based on the Gulf of Thailand so paradise islands are only a few hours away for me.</p>\n<p>In Thailand the majority of TEFL jobs are in and around Bangkok or in the northeast of the country - where there are no beaches. This doesn\'t mean that they aren\'t beautiful places, but please don\'t assume that because we are teaching in a tropical climate that we spend all our time in these paradise settings.</p>\n<h3>3. TEFL teaching is one big holiday</h3>\n<p>Leading on from the last point, not only do we not live on paradise islands but we also don\'t spend every weekend jet setting to them. A lot of people begin TEFL teaching because they think that they will have to do a couple of hours &lsquo;teaching\' here and there and then can spend the rest of the time travelling and generally being on one big vacation. SHOCK HORROR but we have to work Monday - Friday!</p>\n<p>In fact, at my school we have to work 7.45am - 4pm every weekday regardless of if we have lessons or not. Luckily I am based in Thailand and so we get a lot of public holidays resulting in a good amount of three day weekends, but you still have to work for a while between each of those.</p>\n<p>I have encountered TEFL teachers who have no shame in admitting that they are only teaching to get a visa so that they can travel around, hopping from job to job, and who despair at the thought of having to actually teach - don\'t get me wrong, of course I chose to come and work abroad so that I could see some of the world too - but I also love teaching and get just as much enjoyment from my teaching experiences as I do from my travels. As nice as it is living in a different country if you hate your job what kind of existence is that?</p>\n<p>TEFL teaching is a job, not a holiday.</p>\n<h3>4. TEFL jobs are all expenses paid</h3>\n<p>Free flights! Free accommodation! Paid holidays! In some cases, yes, your flights may be reimbursed on completion of a minimum contract term, and you may receive a basic accommodation budget (or worse be housed by the school, which usually means in the school, or in a tiny bedsit) but in most circumstances this is not the case.</p>\n<p>I fell foul to this, as the teaching agency I was originally supposed to be placed with following my TEFL course boasted that they pay for your accommodation and pay you for all your holidays; only in my case that place fell through and I ended up with another agency who don\'t give you a penny for accommodation and employ you on 11 month contracts so the long school holiday ends up unpaid. Had I known that I would be paying my own rent and not receiving a salary every month I may have saved a little more before coming out here. Lesson learned - things barely go to plan.</p>\n<p>My advice would be to save as much as you comfortably can in the timescale that you have before coming out. Over-save. I thought I was going to be in the northeast, where things are probably the cheapest in the country. I ended up in the south where things are more expensive, with an agency that wouldn\'t be helping me with accommodation costs.</p>\n<p>The initial cost of moving somewhere will include housing deposits, buying bedding (and potentially furniture), buying teaching clothes (because no matter what you prepare for each school has its own policy and expectations)... most of these costs will be going out of your account before and salary has been paid in. Then there is the cost of arranging a visa and work permit which again can often be the responsibility of the teacher to fund. Not all TEFL jobs will be paying for that kind of stuff so just bear it in mind; it\'s not a free ride.</p>\n<h3>5. Any native English speaker can get a job as a TEFL teacher</h3>\n<p>Again, as in #1, I am sure if you are happy to live in the middle of nowhere, be the only foreigner in the village then yes, any native English speaker can get a TEFL job. But if you want to live in a city and work in a real school environment as a real teacher, you are going to need some sort of TEFL certificate at minimum. Even with a TEFL certificate and degree, a native English speaker can still come across barriers to finding work.</p>\n<p>So many people come out relying on their nationality (and in Thailand, colour of skin also goes a long way), but find that without the right certification and the right frame of mind, good jobs don\'t just come along. Do your homework, gain the correct certification. It\'s up to you if you want to work for it or go and buy it on Khao San Road, but don\'t assume that simply being an English speaker will guarantee you a great job.</p>\n<p>I realise that this may come across as pretty negative but there are so many people who come out here with completely unrealistic expectations, having not done their research and making silly assumptions. These people then spend their entire working time complaining about how their experience isn\'t what they had expected,resulting in them either not having enough money, or being unprepared, or not landing an amazing yet easy job on the beach, and of course all that they can do is bitch and complain about it, bitter that they aren\'t living the tropical island paradise life that they surely deserve for coming out here.</p>\n<p>Teaching in Thailand is an amazing, enriching experience, but if you have ridiculous expectations and don\'t prepare, you only have yourself to blame. Stop moaning and go home!</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2016-05-13 16:07:08',1,'2016-05-13 16:07:08','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15313,71,'Hi-energy English camp','hi-energy-english-camp','I didn\'t realise teaching could be so much fun','I was asked by one of the companies I work for to help out with an English camp last week.

Although I work during the day at a government school, my other employer was desperate, and I thought... why not. I only had to have a few classes covered, and it was a good excuse to try something new!</p>\n<p>The client: the Thai Ministry of Labor. Apparently, they were sponsoring an event for workers in the hospital industry to practice English as ongoing governmental preparations for ASEAN in 2015. I must admit, although I initially thought the whole ordeal would be a snore, I had more fun teaching the camp than I\'ve had doing anything else in Thailand!</p>\n<p>The basis of the camp was to teach English in a fun manner, not your typical sit-in-a-boring-classroom type of deal. There were sections on English specific to hotels, spas, and restaurants, but the 2-day camp catered to anyone in hospitality or customer service. The camp emphasized pronounciation and simply SPEAKING in general, not worrying so much on total correctness but rather focusing on confidence. I must say, especially for a good deal of the 150+ attendees, this approach was ideal.</p>\n<p>Obviously, there are times when there simply is no avoiding a (potentially) somewhat boring grammar lesson. But for this camp, luckily, my fellow teachers and I were able to help the students work on communicating in general. Yes, I thoroughly enjoy having my students progress from the basics to quasi-correct English, but let\'s face it: the vast majority of people simply need to \"get by\" in English, and you\'ve got to start somewhere!</p>\n<p>The attendees were divided into five groups that attended one of five sessions about various aspects of hospitality-related English in rotation, with many speaking games and activities in-between. I\'ve attended conferences and seminars similar to this, and know that such events can go one of two ways: wonderfully fun or disastrously boring. Luckily for us, the teachers and the students had such a high level of enthusiasm and energy that the whole event, albeit two long days, was a blast!</p>\n<p>It\'s nice to have students who actually WANT to learn English. I\'ve helped with programs that are paid for by companies before, and although there are students who are excited at the prospect of learning English for free, there are many who are only there because they want the free snack that comes with the lesson. Here, though, the majority of people really wanted to be there. After the camp ended (and after a million pictures, as always), the other teachers and I had literally countless students coming up to us begging to keep learning. It\'s a nice change!</p>\n<p>I commend the Ministry of Labor for initiating this \"pilot\" camp program; it\'s nowhere near enough to get Thailand to the competitive level it needs to be for the pending \"no-borders\" ASEAN community coming up, but it is certainly a fantastic start. The fun, hands-on approach that my company took when teaching this camp, alongside the high energy of all of the teachers and students, resulted in a highly enjoyable (albeit exhausting) two days.</p>\n<p>Personally, I love these kinds of things; I love the energy of large groups, the excitement of a fast-paced, all-day event with many things to do. If I could do things like this full time, I would. I don\'t know that I could manage doing more than 3 days out of every week, though; it is genuinely exhausting. But in the end, also genuinely worth it.</p>\n<p>Just in two days of teaching average, ever-day Thai workers, I saw more enjoyment in learning English than I\'ve seen in the past year of teaching various school, adult, and corporate classes. Especially in Thailand, this fun approach is what is really needed to get people motivated to try their hand at this go-between language that ASEAN has adopted.</p>\n<p>I certainly hope the Ministry of Labor continues to sponsor these events; if nothing else, it\'s a great networking opportunity and way for everyday Thai workers to get a bit of practice speaking English. I hope to get the chance to help out again soon!</p>','','2013-10-06 00:30:05',1,'2013-10-06 00:30:05','2013-10-06 14:02:06'),(15314,80,'Eating healthy in Thailand','eating-healthy-in-thailand','Is it becoming more and more difficult?','My long held belief that Thai food was generally very healthy has diminished fast.

Dinner times can sometimes be described as a cyclonic typhoon whirling through the living room and at others a celestial, angelic moment bestowed from heaven. Just depends whether or not there are vegetables on his plate.\n<p>The healthy eating agenda in the UK is strictly implemented in nursery provisions and I have witnessed first hand a child who at home, would rather stick a pea in his nose than eat it but at nursery demolish a plate full of veggies because his friends are eating them too. Every snack and meal is well balanced, with fruit and vegetable high on the agenda. Even the UK secondary school canteen which was once awash with yellowy-orange now has hues of green.</p>\n<p>However, my child who actively asked for carrots and cabbage is now turning away from them and I can only sadly surmise that it is again it is because of peer pressure and the lack of vegetables in the food we/he eats.</p>\n<p>And yes of course, I take full responsibility for his healthy eating but living in Thailand has left me with a conundrum that isn\'t easily solved.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest surprises was the lack of kitchen facilities in the homes we have rented thus far, I have friends who have full kitchens but generally that is the exception, not the norm. So we tried to shop. Shop like we did at home but that isn\'t possible or practical. The supermarkets are expensive especially those who try to emulate its western counterparts and I am not au fait with Thai vegetables or the language to have a conversation about how to cook, peel, slice, dice, cube or cremate.

The diet of rice is generally healthy- the accoutrements of creamy sauces and fried meats are not. Turning to the street stalls, the variety is there but every dish from pad to kao is covered in sugar and salt- a dietary nightmare for diabetics, heart and stroke patients. This is real ticking time-bomb for the future health of Thailand. But with street food so readily and cheaply available compared to the supermarkets, I wonder what alternatives there really are for people.</p>\n<p>Our village swimming pool is next to our local Thai school and at lunchtime, the pupils convene in the cafe area of the pool where fried delights such as chicken and chips are served, they also pile in and out of 7/11 with microwaved burgers and fizzy drinks. The rise of the fast food outlet is relentless and all the while it is seen as status symbol and one associated with western ideals and wealth, Thailand\'s health will decrease.</p>\n</p>\n<p>On the way to the airport, I saw a billboard proudly displaying Thailand\'s food heritage and I couldn\'t help but wonder how long it would be before it is replaced with an advert for a well known burger chain.</p>\n<p>\n<hr />\n</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>','','2013-10-06 00:57:29',1,'2013-10-06 00:57:29','2013-10-06 15:03:30'),(15327,52,'October 2013','october-2013','News and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course and training providers','Thailand can be a terrific place to take a TEFL course.

South America, Central America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia all advertise and desire more and more TESOL teachers each year.</p>\n<p>Now, more than ever, being a native speaker of English (Or even non-native speaker) is a valuable world export and can be an easy, economic, and deeply rewarding way to see the globe.  So, with so many different choices, and with certain countries like The U.A.E., Turkey, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea all proffering more lucrative paychecks than the Thais usually offer... why choose Thailand?</p>\n<p><strong>1.	The weather:</strong> Unlike more temperate and wavering climates, Thailand\'s weather might drench you now and then in the rainy season but it will certainly never freeze you.  Being the change-of-season and autumn enthusiast that I am, even I can get behind living in an endless summer at least for a short period of my life.  Sometimes a change of weather is only fun in theory- the sun is pretty great to have all the damn time.  And let\'s not forget the appeal of being able to plan a trip to a tropical island sitting in your backyard- relatively unhampered by weather conditions- any month of the year.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	The people:</strong> I\'m sure you\'ve heard it so often you might be sickened by the clich&eacute;: Thailand is the land of smiles.  But it is. Even in the moments when said smile feels forced or passive, it is still indicative of one important thing:  Thailand is a culture that celebrates a welcoming spirit, friendly coexistence and positive life attitude.  Some countries can be hard to live in because the people are reserved, disdainful, skeptical, or distrusting of foreigners.  Thailand is a far cry from being one of them.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	Salary:</strong> Undoubtedly a reasonable and key factor in any career choice, a common criticism of teaching in Thailand as compared to other nations (Like South Korea, or Taiwan, for example) is that the pay is less.  The average salary runs at about 1,000 USD per month of teaching at a salaried job.  That can initially seem like very little.  But understood in relation to the cost of living and daily expenses, it is more than enough to live comfortably and save for future travels.  I put away half my paycheck each month without even planning a budget.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	A comprehensible infrastructure for TESOL/TEFL teachers:</strong> Teaching in Buenos Aires sounds like a dream, so does teaching in Germany or Spain.  But, and especially if you are an EU Passport-less American like I am, teaching outside of Southeast Asia can be a lot more of a challenge.  Finding jobs, coordinating visas, and arranging affordable living arrangements is almost inconceivably easy to do in Thailand.  My friends that have attempted to do the same in Europe and South America have complained of the frequent difficulties: most of them are working up to six different jobs (As opposed to just one in Thailand) to make ends meet.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	The food:</strong> It\'s delicious.  And cheap.  Eating out is a unique and lovable part of Thai culture.  Family-owned Thai kitchens are ubiquitous and food carts are equally so.  Each evening around six, large parts of every town, city, and neighborhood turn into a communal eating affair.  It makes the area feel alive, neighborly, and aromatic with all the spices wafting through the air.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	This country is beautiful and there is so much to see here. </strong> Thailand is deceptively enormous; it would take a full day or more of driving to reach the northern border commencing from its southern counterpart.  And in between awaits an endless array of stunning beaches and islands, jungles and national parks, world heritage sites, ancient capitols, golden temples, and majestic ruins.  There is so much to see here that I often feel it takes spending a year living here or more to even begin to see it.  Those who opt to just backpack through for a few weeks are truly missing so much.<br /> <br /><strong>7.	Proximity to culturally rich and exotic countries:</strong> Thailand is snuggled between and amongst some of the world\'s most interesting, exotic, stunning, and rapidly changing countries.  Living in Thailand provides a backdoor filled with nations such as Myanmar, Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, China and Indonesia- just to name some of them.</p>\n<p><strong>8.	Diversity of location choice:</strong> Being the geographically large nation that it is, teaching in Thailand provides a lot of choice when it comes to the type of environment you desire to live in.  There are of course competitively sought after teaching positions on the islands and beaches (For a typically much-lower salary), as well as some considerable choice when it comes to cities and countryside.  Chiang Mai and Bangkok, for example, are the two largest cities in Thailand, and the two couldn\'t possibly be more different.  What kind of environment and city do you prefer to live in?  That choice is conveniently available to you.</p>\n<p><strong>9.	A large and comprehensible network of backpacker culture:</strong> Thailand is a mainstay on The Banana Pancake Trail, and so for the young and vibrant who love to socialize (party), meet travelers their age, and keep fresh with the mobile, there is a constant stream of backpackers pouring through the country to meet, network with, befriend, inspire, and be inspired by.</p>\n<p><strong>10.	A large and comprehensible network of expat culture:</strong> If you choose to live and teach in Thailand, that does not necessarily mean that you are going to be living in the jungle next to a wild elephant camp with a bungalow for a home and nobody to talk to.  If you choose to live in a city, you can easily expand your friendship and intellectual circle in the easily accessible expat communities there.  For example, in Chiang Mai, where I live, there is an endless stream of events, book clubs, activist clubs, hiking clubs, everything else clubs, and just general expats to keep you busy and social with likeminded individuals.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to see more of my writing and photographs, etc then please <a href=\"http://theadventuresofraindancemegan.wordpress.com/\">pay a visit to my blog</a> \'Nomadic Megan\' and also <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/nomadicmegan\">my Facebook page</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-10-12 07:09:01',1,'2013-10-12 07:09:01','2013-10-14 10:10:03'),(15336,57,'A palace for one','a-palace-for-one','Quality one-bedroom Bangkok condos and apartments to rent','Not that long ago - 6-7 years in fact - it was actually hard to find a quality, luxurious, but well priced one-bedroom condo within walking distance, or even reasonable motorbike ride of a BTS or MRT station. ','<p>Of course many expats move to Bangkok with their spouse or family. In those cases they are looking for a 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom or even 4-bedroom accommodation. Perhaps they are even looking for a house.</p>\n<p>However, many teachers arrive in Bangkok on their own. Perhaps they have been teaching in another part of Thailand and fancy giving the big mango a try. Or perhaps they are serial expats, and have been teaching in Korea, China or elsewhere and Thailand had just been chosen to be part of their latest adventure. Whatever the background is, it is unusual for a single teacher to look for a property larger than a one-bedroom.</p>\n<p>I have avoided referring to studios here as a way to demonstrate what great value is available whilst still having the luxury of a separate living area, kitchen and bedroom.&nbsp;The expansion of the metro system between the BTS and MRT has meant that getting around town is so much easier and faster than it once was. Now locations such as Bang Na, Lat Prao and even Thonburi do not feel that far away, where once they appeared to be unreachable for those living in areas like central Sukhumvit. This expansion has also led to the growth of modern, practical an well designed condos an apartments and the focus has been on producing studio and one-bedroom units.</p>\n<p>Not that long ago - 6-7 years in fact - it was actually hard to find a quality, luxurious, but well priced one-bedroom condo within walking distance, or even reasonable motorbike ride of a BTS or MRT station. The city did of course have plenty of accommodation, but in the city center it fell into one of two categories. <br />It was either very cheap or very small and quite unappealing for most westerners.</p>\n<p>I am of course talking about the Thai-style apartment blocks which offer 16-20sqm studio rooms, very few facilities and often quite a bit of noise, and even creepy crawlies - not overpleasant for the newly arrived English teacher.</p>\n<p>The second type was large, almost palatial with 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms. With huge rooms, often a lot of built-in wooden furniture (not modern) and the building would offer a swimming pool, car-parking, a gym etc. However with all that room and access to the BTS etc the costs were high. This type of accommodation was mainly the reserve of well-paid expats on contracts from their respective countries. There just seemed to be no middle-ground.</p>\n<p>There were of course plenty of westerners out there who did not want to live in Thai style accommodation, that would perhaps not even pass building standards back in their own countries. They had more than THB 2-5 000/month to spend and were willing to spend it if the right accommodation existed. However they did not need  a 150sqm 2-bedroom condo or an apartment in town costing THB 30-40 000/month.</p>\n<p>It\'s quite amazing really that it took Thai developers so long to realize this market was out there. And when one looks around town now and sees so many fantastic, well-designed, well-located and excellently appointed condominiums and apartments brimming with happy residents mostly housing studio and one-bedroom units, it is hard to imagine how the city functioned without them. I mean it begs the question - \'Where did all these tens of thousands of expats live before?\'</p>\n<p>So what are some of the best ones on the market today? Well the choice is excellent and if I was to list all the excellent one-bedroom properties out there, it would never end. So here are just a few to whet the appetite. The only factor that has guided me in my choice is to try and cover East, South and North of Bangkok\'s city center.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/wyne-sukhumvit-phrakanong-3669\">The Wyne in Phrakanong</a>&nbsp;some would refer to this as a partitioned studio and not a true one-bedroom, given its size.

OK, here we go.</p>\n<p>It\'s a dream for many English teachers to live and work in Chiang Mai, if only because it\'s quite possibly Thailand\'s most liveable city. However, you often hear teachers moaning about the shortage of jobs and the generally low salaries. But is it all doom and gloom in The Rose of the North? Amy Burbridge and her partner both teach in a Chiang Mai school so who better to ask? Amy writes a blog called \'Chiang Mai Everything\' and this month she\'s written a useful overview on <a href=\"http://chiangmaieverything.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-teach-english-chiang-mai-thailand-pros-cons.html\">the pros and cons of working in Thailand\'s second city</a>.</p>\n<p>One of my favorite Thailand \'blogging couples\' on the web are Chris and Angela, who run the \'Tieland to Thailand\' website. The site got its name because both guys used to work in the corporate world but jacked it all in for a life of adventure and travel. Chris and Angela also live and work in Chiang Mai (what\'s the attraction guys?) but blog on all manner of topics - not just teaching in Chiang Mai. To get a flavor of their writing, have a look at this blog simply titled <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/requirements-to-teach-in-thailand/\">\'Requirements to Teach in Thailand\"</a>. Many of their blogs also get good responses in the comments section.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I\'ll be getting off the topic of Chiang Mai in a moment hopefully, but possibly another worry for anyone wanting to live up there is the air pollution. I\'ve never had a problem on my several short trips to Chiang Mai but I do have a couple of good friends who have settled there and both say that during the \'slash and burn\' farming season - and I\'ve forgotten exactly when that is - you can barely see your hand in front of your face. Lani Cox lives and teaches in Chiang Mai and she writes a good blog too!&nbsp;<a href=\"http://lanivcox.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/polluted-chiang-mai-worth-my-health/\">What are her thoughts on the topic of air pollution?</a> It can\'t be any worse than Bangkok surely Lani!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One of the real drawbacks of being a teacher in Thailand can be those dreaded visa runs and if you\'re thinking of doing a visa run to a neighboring country, then up-to-date information is more than welcome, if not essential. How much are things like accommodation going to cost? How many days are you going to have to wait while the Thai consulate processes your visa application? The list of questions can be endless, so my blogging heroes are always those who document a visa run in the minutest detail. Step forward Eric Kuns and take a bow. Eric has put together an <a href=\"http://artoferickuns.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/ordeal-by-visa-run-to-vientiane/\">amazingly detailed blog</a> on making the visa run from North Thailand to Vientiane in Laos. Enjoy the read and enjoy the photos too! I haven\'t been in sleepy Vientiane for well over a decade but it doesn\'t look to have changed much.</p>\n<p>While we\'re on the topic of visa runs, did you know that foreigners are now allowed to use the land crossing between Thailand and Burma at Myawaddy, as well as the old favorites, Tachilek and Kawthaung.

It offers a general overview on teaching in Thailand. <a href=\"http://blog.about-esl.com/teaching-english-thailand/\">How much of it do you agree or disagree with?</a></p>\n<p>Let me introduce you to Cody Gohl.

He looks as though he\'s having a good time of it so far anyway.</p>\n<p>One of the fastest-growing groups of teachers arriving in Thailand are gap-year students. Their numbers are apparently increasing rapidly year-on-year, but what are the reasons why Thailand is such a good gap-year choice?

We all sit pensively, sipping our coffees and staring out into the Rung Duoc Bay at the sporadic marine activity. The group of Thai men sitting next to us are playing a competitive game of cards - a scene that we are specifically instructed to politely ignore - while the small alleyway that surrounds us provides for a popular means of transportation for many townspeople.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_210.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>At first glance, the skinny pathway seems to serve only as a tranquil, one-way route, but you\'d be surprised at the abundance of traffic and the sharp shrills of motorbike horns that fill the area. Constant commotion has become a common nuance to my ears, but this is a rare occasion where these sounds work surprisingly well with the bay and the company that surrounds me. At this time, I have nothing on my mind except what lies right in front of me and all I can do is sit back in my tiny, plastic chair and smirk. Slowly, the smirk hoards my expression, leaving no trace of anything, but sheer satisfaction.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_201.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Stiffly stepping down the large, awkwardly-spaced-steps, reiterates the notion that uncomfortable night buses are something I will never get used to. Unlike Thai sleeper buses, the Vietnam version gives you a bed to sleep in, but unless you take on the stature of an oversized child, you may have to adjust your sleeping positions once or twice throughout the night. It is also very important to note that the style of driving is quite different from virtually anywhere else in the world.</p>\n<p>You may find yourself slowly slip-siding away off into a fantasy-land of dreams. Maybe you\'re spending a romantic evening in the Hollywood Hills with Brad Pitt, sipping on wine as he woos you with his handsome features and his boyish attempts at reviving chivalry; it\'s even possible that a fire-breathing dragon has kidnapped your loved ones, and justice can only be achieved by slaying the ungodly beast yourself. Right as things start getting good in your dream world - SMACK! - your limp body smashes up against the window as the driver wildly swerves into the other lane, narrowly avoiding a catastrophe. It is near impossible to get a decent night\'s sleep when traveling on these overnight buses, but at least they get you where you need to go!</p>\n<p>I have to personally thank the group of Vietnamese kids who swam with us on our first day in Nha Trang; if it weren\'t for them, we would have been very close to packing up and heading out to our next destination the following day. You see, many places on the Southeast Asia travel circuit have become fallen prey to corporate bullies. These bullies come into pristine, aesthetically mind-warping locations and decide to lay their heads down for the long term. In these places, tourism, although great for the region\'s economy, hogs the overall physique and personality of the destination.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_202.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>So, I found myself walking around Nha Trang getting pestered by tour salesmen, bombarded by over-priced restaurant owners, and staring up at a colossal Sheraton. Meanwhile, every food stand in this area selling authentic Vietnamese cuisine was virtually abandoned. Yes, everybody needs to make a living somehow, but it is disheartening when it is at the expense of a culture of people. A bit discouraged, Emily and I decided it was time for a refreshing dip in the waters of the South China Sea - which if you refer to the beginning of this paragraph, was the wisest of choices.</p>\n<p>As we were doggy-paddling around, winding down from the sleepless night and the painful sights of foreigners outweighing the Vietnamese population, we were happy to find a group of Vietnamese boys cheekily swimming closer to us. Intrigued by what appeared to be a white woman in a bikini and an overly skinny, miniature King Kong, they decided to engage.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_203.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Instead of wasting time attempting meaningless conversation, they decided to show us a trick - a trick that consisted of them sprinting from about 20 feet out on the beach into the water, ending with a precarious, yet impressive flip into the oncoming waves. With these stunning flips, the boys inadvertently entered us into a trick competition. To counter, I decided to go with the Westernly clich&eacute; \"handstand,\" swaying my feet forward and back to jazz up my maneuver a bit. Emily, my partner in crime, decided to go with the \"underwater somersault;\" some would say this move is also clich&eacute;, but when you pull off 7-flips without coming up for air, you impress not only your foreign audience, but the remaining onlookers as well.</p>\n<p>The tricks from both parties loosened things up a bit - we were basically best friends at this point. Competing against each other eventually lost its excitement - now that we were friends and all - so that evolved into a session of friendly swim races. Then once they figured out that compared to their Vietnamese kin, I was practically the tallest man in the world, naturally it was time to see who I could launch into the air the highest. They took turns standing on my shoulders as I elevated my thumbs out of the water for balance and support. With a quick count of 3; 2; 1, I stood up quickly and instantly they were soaring high in the sky, flailing their arms and legs before splashing down into the choppy, blue sea. Although a majority of the jumps were impressive, I was informed that one boy managed a back-flip, which ended up winning the gold medal for the day.</p>\n<p>There really is nothing like a little friendly competition against the younger generation. It was also a great reminder about how there will be annoying, plastic people wherever you go, but a majority of people are awesome. To support this claim, on our walk back to our hotel, we were directed to a local area by some random motorbike driver. He asked us if we were lost, and after expressing our somewhat urgent interest to get as far away from this tourist time-lapse as possible, he told us about a great \"Bia Hoi\" joint a kilometer or so away.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_206.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Bia Hoi is a local, draft beer, brewed daily in Vietnam. It is a very cheap, light lager, with a low alcohol content (3-4 percent) and no preservatives, making it incredibly important to consume the batch as quickly as possible to ensure freshness. These Bia Hoi establishments can be found scattered all over Vietnam, usually located in local areas. They typically are restaurants that serve local food and therefore attract a local crowd, creating an incredible people-watching atmosphere. The Vietnamese men love to party and will often hang out at these places for hours, resulting in an eatery filled with chain-smoking, beer swilling Vietnamese men, rambling on about who knows what. Talk about an amazing place to be.</p>\n<p>For us, it was a little early to get the drinking underway, so we settled for another phenomenal Vietnamese pastime: drinking coffee. Since cafes in Vietnam are comparable in abundance to Starbucks in New York City (although the coffee experience is nothing alike), it is always important to find a coffee shop that is comfortable for you. In this particular day\'s case, we stumbled upon a cool, little art caf&eacute; named \"Let it Be Caf&eacute;.\"</p>\n<p>Inside, on the wall behind the cash register, lay the lyrics to Paul McCartney\'s, \"Let it Be,\" swiftly painted in cursive. The walls that surround are blotted with various paintings of influential classic rock artists and works, including a portrait of Jimi Hendrix, and the screaming face from Pink Floyd\'s \"The Wall.\" All of the work is creatively canvassed on the walls of the caf&eacute;, the bricks on the outside section, and the glass on the windows and doors, making for a chilled-out environment to relax while buzzing on a strong cup of filtered, robust java.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t until we politely told the waitress at the caf&eacute; that she had not misunderstood - we did indeed take our coffee black - that we met Khanh. Evidently impressed with our tolerance for the bold beverage, he came over and began to chat with us. The conversation was comprised of two main elements: Simplicity and Awesomeness. There was no need to fill the conversation with anything mundane or unnecessary - it seemed as if we had already met before and got the whole friendship thing underway.</p>\n<p>We talked about music, photography, and Vietnam. Since Em and I thoroughly enjoyed cool art; good music; Vietnam; and clearly, strong coffee, it appeared as if we were all destined to be pals. As these thoughts were perusing through my caffeine-filled brain, Khanh asked us if we would like to go \"take pictures\" with him the following day. Without hesitation, or eye contact between the two of us, we called out, \"Yes,\" in unison.</p>\n<p>We arrived at the caf&eacute; the following morning at 8:30 AM sharp; it was not an option to show up late to our date with Khanh. Not only did we have to make sure we were on time for our Khanh date, I had to personally make sure I got us there alive. It was the first time I had operated a motorbike in Vietnam and anyone who has seen how the Vietnamese traffic system works will understand it can be a bit unnerving to say the least. From a distance, pandemonium is an accurate word to describe it - it\'s a circus.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_208.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>A road with two lanes is crammed with anywhere from 4 to 7 motorbikes all the way across. There are horns honking constantly, people walking across the street paying no mind to the oncoming freak-show, and motorbikes stacked with items making them off-balance and too wide for the road - anything from refrigerators, to cases upon cases of beer, to crates of livestock, to piles of firewood towering over their heads. A bit shaky, but determined, we set out into the concrete jungle.</p>\n<p>As I pulled out into the road, I began to realize there was indeed a method behind all of the madness that I saw as a common bystander. It looks like utter chaos, yet when you become a part of it, oddly there is a cadence and harmony to it. Once you find a comfortable speed the rules become quite simple: just drive. Be aware of what and who is around you and only stop if you really need to. Once I slowly realized all of this inside my feeble head, driving a motorbike in Vietnam turned from frantic to fun.</p>\n<p>It was a good thing I took to the motorbike quickly because there was no time for a tutorial in Khan\'s schedule. After accidentally sleeping in, Khanh and his friend Elvin showed up for our tour around Nha Trang. Friends since they were 12, Elvin and Khanh had an interesting dynamic; Elvin was a bit more vocal than Khanh, but seemed to divert as much attention as he could to his life-long friend. Back in the early years of their friendship, days were spent scouring the land of Nha Trang and scaling mango trees. As they\'ve grown older, their knack for adventure still thrives as we drive around the city and watch as they point out fun facts we should take note about.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_209.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>What a great day it was. We followed Khelvin (Khanh and Elvin) around on their vintage Honda and explored the vast farmland that surrounds Nha Trang. Outside of the Sheratons and nightclub scene lies a virtually unaltered Nha Trang with villagers living their day-to-day lives simply and unfazed. In their world, dinner will not be on the table unless the rice crops are harvested and fish are caught. Everybody has a job whether it\'s tending to the farmland, preparing traps for the fish farms, crocheting clothes, or even building something. It\'s fascinating - coming from a material culture - to see the happiness and sustainability of a culture that strives on simplicity.</p>\n<p>We spent our lunchtime snapping photos, drinking tea, and eating at this nearly indescribable establishment. We walked into the main kitchen area where the proprietary family was going through the motions of their daily lives. The matriarch was caring for their newborn baby, the patriarch was scaling and preparing freshly caught fish from the pond the restaurant stood upon, and the various siblings and cousins were running the \"customer service\" end of the restaurant.</p>\n<p>The area was unique, in that it consisted of various bridges and bamboo islands that served as the dining areas for the customers. Each island was in an octagonal shape, well equipped with a chalkboard menu and bamboo matting strewn across the floor for a comfortable dining experience. We spent our time there chatting about Vietnamese and American cultural differences and taking in the awe-inspiring beauty that surrounded us.</p>\n<p>For lunch, we had a fresh serving (caught from the waters that our bamboo island stood on) of \"Jah Kah\" with \"Mom\" Sauce (please keep any snide remarks to yourself). They prepare Jah Kah by mincing up a heaping pile of fish, then pan-frying it into a patty-like form, and then slice it up into bite size pieces. The Mom Sauce was a sweet and satisfying version of fish sauce with sugar. Although it looks a bit odd - taking on an intimidating spongy texture - Jah Kah was a brilliant snack to pair along with our time on the bamboo island.</p>\n<p>After a bumpy exit, our tires spun their way across the dusty trails leading back to the main road. I alternated my attention from the road to the stunning landscape around me and constantly found myself lost in the moment. Throughout my travels, the people I meet and the culture I encounter have always been the most exciting thing for me.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/Bob_207.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>As we pulled to a stop at a railroad crossing, I found myself enclosed by motorbikes. Male riders, female riders, and full families were all waiting along with me as the train was passing by. Throughout the loud clamor of the train against the tracks, it turned into a momentary social gathering. People were smiling, laughing, and chitchatting in their quick, Vietnamese cadence - with nobody showing any urgency to keep moving. Everyone was satisfied with the moment and in turn, embraced it. At that time, I had nothing on my mind except what was right in front of me and all I could do was sit back on my motorbike and smirk. Slowly, the smirk hoarded my expression, leaving no trace of anything, but sheer satisfaction.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-10-20 03:50:21',1,'2013-10-20 03:50:21','2013-10-20 17:05:22'),(15389,20,'Can you teach science?','can-you-teach-science','A simple question that led to a most unbelievable runaround','I got an interview for a science teacher position here in Thailand.

I had no idea what questions he would ask.  I was making this up as I went along.  But he was pleased with my answers.  His preferred candidate was in the States and struggling to book a short notice flight in time to arrive in time for orientation.  I was his back-up plan.  He called me to tell me his preferred candidate caught a flight and asked me if I was available for other positions.</p>\n<p>While I was in Cambodia getting a new Thai tourist visa, he called me at my guest house to inform me that his first choice didn\'t work out and asked me if I still wanted to teach science.  The other foreign teachers at the school where he sent me told me his preferred candidate showed up for orientation, didn\'t go to lunch with the group, and never returned.</p>\n<p>When I arrived at the bus station, the school\'s foreign affairs officer was not there.  No sooner had I moved into the apartmen &nbsp;the FAO had arranged for me, the building manager told me to move out.  My tourist visa was only 15 days and she refused to submit a resident report to immigration about a resident with such a short visa.  At an alternative apartment, the sink didn\'t have water, the bathroom had multiple chronic leaks, the wifi had reoccurring startup problems, and the door key didn\'t work.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, neither the apartment nor the building had a washing machine.  The day after I moved in, the water went off.  The landlord refused to answer the FAO\'s phone, so I got the agency\'s teacher supervisor involved.  Finally, the FAO used my phone and the landlord answered.  She told the FAO that the pipes were under construction.  She didn\'t tell the translator when I moved in and she didn\'t put a notice on my door.</p>\n<p>After 4 days without water, I was finally able to take a shower and shave.  Meanwhile, I was told during the interview that coming to Thailand on a 15 day visa was no problem because the agency\'s visa coordinator could get the paperwork in order in a week or two and I could zip up to Laos and back (this school is on the border).  Not so.  The visa coordinator told me I would have to get a 60 day tourist visa at the Thai consulate in Laos, then return for a work visa when the paperwork was ready.  I estimate the cost of two Lao visas, a Thai tourist visa, and a Thai work visa, plus transportation and lodging, at about 7500 baht.</p>\n<p>So maybe I should have seen it coming.</p>\n<p>The agency owner told me I would be teaching life science and that the agency\'s other science teacher at the school would be teaching physical science.  Turns out the chairman of the science department expected me to teach general science.  According to the textbook chapter order the Thai science teachers gave me, general science turned out to be mostly physical science.  And the full range of physical sciences  -  physics, chemistry, electricity, geology, weather, global ecosytem, astronomy, space exploration.  Plus nutrition, drug addiction, and even sex education.</p>\n<p>They wanted me to use three textbooks and teach three different lessons per week to 7th, 8th, and 9th graders.  And they had a prearranged order for the chapters.  So one week, I would teach three different physics lessons to 7th graders, three different chemistry lessons to 8th graders, and three different electricity lessons  to 9th graders.  The next week, I would teach astronomy to 7th graders, geology to 8th graders, and ecosystem to 9th graders.  The 3rd week, weather to 7th graders, space exploration to 8th graders, and nutrition to 9th graders.</p>\n<p>I was expected to plan the lessons, build or Google the teaching tools, and write the exams.  And make every lesson useful and interesting and fun.  All this on a week\'s notice.  So my lesson planning had multiplied nine times and the paperwork I was supposed to submit to the agency\'s curriculum director had multiplied nine times as well.</p>\n<p>Even for someone who majored in general science or majored in education, such a feat was just not even logistically realistic without living at the office.  I\'m qualified to teach algebra and have taught algebra in Thailand successfully more than once (and aced algebra in college.)  But I\'m not qualified to teach calculus.  I\'ve never taken a calculus course and calculus is a completely different math field than algebra.</p>\n<p>In the same way, I can teach life science, but I\'m really not qualified to teach physical science.  I don\'t have a strong science background and don\'t have any experience teaching science, but I have a lot of teaching experience and a lot of curriculum development experience and a natural aptitude for and strong interest in life science.  But physical science is another realm, just as algebra and calculus are drastically different.  So I told the agency owner there was no sense in even attempting to accomplish all this.</p>\n<p>He decided to replace me.  He didn\'t even bother to inform me.  When I got back from my visa run to Laos, I called the school\'s FAO to tell her I needed my class schedule.  She said, \"The agency owner is sending the school another teacher to replace you and told me to tell you to return to the agency\'s headquarters.  Never mind that the agency\'s headquarters is in Bangkok, a 12-hour drive, and that I had already paid for a month\'s rent.</p>\n<p>While I was in Cambodia, I had three job offers from China.  One was for teaching college students and the school offered to pay for the flight, the tourist and work visas, and the visa run to Hong Kong to change the tourist visa to a work visa.  Another offered to process the paperwork and mail it to me so I could get a work visa from the Chinese embassy in Thailand.  Another was from a school in the business district of Guangzhou, which is just two hours by express train to Hong Kong  -  and the school is in the same district as the train station.  The third school was willing to let me teach kindergarten even though most kindergartens prefer younger, female teachers.  All of these schools paid exceptionally well.  And all of them wanted me to arrive immediately.</p>\n<p>I turned down all these offers in favor of gaining experience teaching science.  These bridges have been burned.  The jobs have been taken by other candidates.  And so has my science teaching job.</p>\n<p>Several years ago, I got an offer to teach English from an international school in the Philippines.  Then they said, \"We also want you to teach science.\"  I said, \"I don\'t have a strong background in science and I\'ve never taught science.\"  I should have said, \"Sure, I\'ll teach science.\"  Experience teaching science would have helped me get a teaching position in the States.  I have a college degree, I had teaching experience, I\'m concept oriented, I\'m pretty sure I could have taught science.  If not, I could have just gone back to teaching ESL.</p>\n<p>I got a call from a recruiter here in Thailand saying, \"I\'ve got a school that needs a science, health, and English teacher.  I said, \"I\'ll be glad to teach science.  But just to let you know, I don\'t have any experience teaching science.\"  The recruiter said, \"The school is near you.  Shall I submit your resume?\"  I had learned my lesson from the offer from the school in the Philippines.  So I said, \"You bet.\"  Then came the above discussed offer.</p>\n<p><strong>Carl Slaughter</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Carl Slaughter is still in Thailand and still determined to gain science teaching experience.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/brain1.gif','2013-10-22 00:01:10',1,'2013-10-22 00:01:10','2013-10-22 14:02:11'),(15420,71,'Science department camp','science-department-camp','A fun school outing to Samut Sakhon','Apparently, once per year my department goes on some kind of a retreat.

I felt quite honored when I was invited (more like coerced) to attend the all-Thai getaway. We went to Samut Sakhon and stayed in a nature-oriented resort by a river about two hours south of Bangkok. It was a lot of fun!</p>\n<p>We took the \"school bus,\" a quite nice coach that I didn\'t even know our school had, and stopped by a sustainable farm for lunch on the way. I presume that whatever the chap went on about for an hour while holding various fertilizers was highly educational, but being that I speak very little Thai, I mainly watched dragonflies attack the various geese, ducks, chickens, turkeys, and peacocks the farm hosted.</p>\n<p>The resort, Bankungnam Resort, had lovely bungalow-styled rooms surrounding a little pond with more on the river across the street. It certainly was nice, reminding me a lot of the Okefenokee Swamp on the Georgia-Florida boarder in the USA. For nature lovers, the area could likely entertain for weeks. For me, it was a great getaway from Bangkok for a night... but I prefer the beach.</p>\n<p>The teachers in my department entertained themselves by making a multitude of somtum, playing cards, and drinking various beverages. Have I mentioned how much I love teaching in Thailand? This is a school-sanctioned event where the teachers are literally there merely to relax. No hidden agenda, no required meetings... just a celebration.</p>\n<p>The one night we were there, we had a little retirement party for one of the teachers due to step down this year. It was quite interesting; I followed the Thai teachers in some kind of ceremony whereby we crawl by the teacher (sitting in a chair) and scooped a cup of flower-seeped water from one little jug to another sitting in front of him. I\'m not exactly sure what this signified, but it seemed to be a nice gesture.</p>\n<p>Afterwards, this being Thailand, the teachers (even the older ladies) sang karaoke for hours... until well after midnight. And I don\'t think I was the only one who woke up with a hangover. Again, remember that my Thai is extremely limited and most of the teachers in my department speak very little English, but it was quite a good time.</p>\n<p>All in all, even though it was a short \"workshop,\" it was quite an enjoyable experience.</p>','','2013-10-28 07:42:55',1,'2013-10-28 07:42:55','2013-10-28 21:09:56'),(15427,59,'Go Genki','go-genki','An unusual approach to teaching vocabulary','Why don\'t you try Genki English now? Once you have tried it, your teaching worries will be over, lessons will be enjoyed, dynamic students will be developed and most of all your classrooms will come alive.','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Last September 2013, I held  my most successful English Camp. I say the most successful one because my students were described as \"great\" by 6 foreign teachers who helped me with the camp. To these teachers\' surprise, they witnessed my students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 dancing with gusto, grace, enthusiasm and absence of inhibitions considering that they are all \"Thai\" students of a public school in one district of Nonthaburi, Thailand.</p>\n<p>One of the comments was, \"Your students are incredible dancers. Unlike my students  they are not inhibited or not shy to sway  their hips and move  their hands with grace.\" I told them  that my students were good dancers, not because I am a good dancer but  because for  2 years they had been exposed to dances I choreographed  for the Genki songs I taught like What\'s your name song? Hello, how are you? How old are you? Where do you live? What time is it? Where are you from? How did you get here? Good morning? What do you? Etc. Other than this , in every program we had in school for two years now,   I have been using  Genki songs with dances for intermission and school presentations.</p>\n<p>I got hold of Genki English CDs years ago.   In my director\'s desire to make my teaching more meaningful,  she gave me 4 volumes of these CDs. Incidentally, the lessons I taught  also matched with our Nonthaburi English Teachers\'Project curriculum,  so there was really no conflict when I used them as teaching lessons and materials. One thing good with the CD\'s is that they have songs that even the less interested student in dancing couldn\'t help but move their hips, clap their hands, and move their feet to the rhythm of the song.</p>\n<p>The minus one music also makes the students sing as if they are following a karaoke minus the lyrics. Although Genki songs teach only 8 vocabulary words for every topic from personal information to anything under the sun, that number is good enough for an hour lesson. The teacher can let the students look up the meaning of words in the dictionary, spell them, sing them in the song and use them in a dialogue.</p>\n<p>Genki English songs proved useful  to me. In  one term I was once invited to teach nearly  400 kindergarten, grade school and high school teachers  from Pattani, Naratiwat, and Yala provinces south of Thailand, who lacked units to finish their teaching degree. There were 2 classes with less than 200 students each. This was  an outreach program of Rajabhat Universty in Bangkok. Although they were all  experienced teachers, 80% of them could hardly speak English.</p>\n<p>At first, I was in a dilemma on  how to teach English to these groups for I was given a  curriculum that was too difficult for them. You know what I did? I used Genki English songs with the help of power point and it   was great. For 12 meetings in 3 months, my fear that I couldn\'t deliver my lessons well because my students  lacked English proficiency was gone  and to my  astonishment , all my students  enjoyed learning English through Genki English songs. In fact, I awarded the best students not more than 20 cds of the songs I taught so that they could use them in their classes.</p>\n<p>In my volunteer work with   the blind and the  young women in a center  at Pak Kret, Nnthaburi, Thailand  under the  patronage of the late Mother Queen and His Majesty the King of Thailand  as well as in our English class-for-all of Our Lady of Mercy church, also in Thailand, under the care  of Italian priests, students ages 25-79 and in the 7 English Camps where I taught or whenever I would be invited, I never failed  to use  Genki English songs in my activities.</p>\n<p>Genki English songs are  marvelous. Most, if not all of my students, were transformed  from  shy to confident and speakers brought about by their easy  vocabulary words applicable in daily life experience. Once you have tried it, without a doubt, you will produce  very appreciative students, lovers of good songs, and  make them good dancers as well.  My students  learned English with so much  fun and  they    always looked forward to my English classes.</p>\n<p>Why don\'t you try Genki English now?

So I suggested literary vintages such as Meg and Mog, Funny Bones et al- they looked at me like I had just fallen out of a coconut tree.</p>\n<p>I went home to look at the reading matter of my 2-year old. His aunt Melissa had sent him some books recently. Toddle Waddle by Julia Donaldson is the new favourite - it is a \'follow the leader\' style book using onomatopoeic and rhyming words (hence the name) The pictures are all based around a seaside resort and pier. The characters all reflect the diverse ethnic backgrounds of modern Britain but this doesn\'t transcend to a Thai pupil\'s understanding or knowledge of a quirky seaside town in Britain complete with foibles and an innate character.</p>\n<p>Last week\'s favourite was Barry the Fish with Fingers by Sue Hendra. It\'s a picture book about a fish with fingers which resemble the British dish of fish-fingers. I find this book hilarious, as does my son but Thai children don\'t eat fish-fingers for tea, do they? The cultural significance is lost and there is no cultural equivalent or way of explaining it - Barry the Fish with Fishballs... doesn\'t quite work somehow.</p>\n<p>I often wonder about the morality of a British education for Thailand\'s international school pupils which are mainly Thai or Thai mixed. Where is their cultural relevance? Their literary legacies? The moments where they connect a memory to a place or taste and belly-laugh with contentment that only resonance can bring.</p>\n<p>Are we international educators the new imperialists? The new missionaries taking Britain and its culture around the world? Demanding, imposing, subjecting, inflicting the likes of Dickens, Austen and Hardy? Do we offer a superiority in language and literature that no other (or Eastern?) tradition can offer? Or are we teaching to an antiquated examination board\'s view of literary supremacy?</p>\n<p>It\'s Book Week next week and the English department are attempting to make it intercultural- the new moniker for multiculturalism. We have given each year group a country, genre and an era. For example Japan, Manga Comics, 20th century. They will have to research and create a classroom display for other students to visit, a bit like a mini-museum curation.</p>\n<p>We are a diverse school, some of our students hail from Japan, Korea, China and Indonesia as well as mixed heritages from Europe and America.

The Supreme Patriarch is the head of the order of buddhist monks in Thailand - the most important monk, as chosen by the King (wikipedia.org).  The usual period of mourning for a highly ordained monk is 15 days, but in this case it has been extended to the full 30 days usually reserved for the death of a royal - showing how truly important he was to the King and the nation of Thailand.</p>\n<p>So what does that mean for us foreigners?  How will this period of mourning affect us?</p>\n<p>Firstly, today we were informed that we should try to wear black at school, or at least to avoid bright colours.  I say informed, it was more of a by the way...  as we left for lunch.  It would be nice to be told these things properly, as I really don\'t want to offend anyone!  I have effectively been wearing a rainbow for the past three days, unaware we were in an official period of mourning.</p>\n<p>Stood there in my fuschia pink shirt and floral skirt I started mentally thrashing through the rail that holds all of my teaching clothes.  Pink, orange, green, red, orange, pink, purple... I need to get myself some new mourning teacher clothes it seems.</p>\n<p>Local bars have shortened their opening hours (in Hat Yai that means closing at 1am as opposed to 4, 5 or 6am).  Sales of alcohol will be limited and probably further affected as the funeral preparations take place (a standard funeral in Thailand is 4 days long so you can imagine that the head Monk\'s funeral will take up most of the month ahead).</p>\n<p>A big party that a lot of foreigners were going to this weekend has been postponed until the end of next month - the organisers may not be Thai but they have common sense and cultural sensitivity.  Big shows that had been planned for Loy Kratong celebrations in the middle of the month may be toned down, fireworks cancelled and all generally excessive activities are to be avoided.</p>\n<p>It is difficult to find ourselves in the position of being a foreigner in a different land at a very sensitive time.  I don\'t want to make any mistakes or come across as disrespectful so I am google searching as much as I can right now.  Bangkok Post have some details but no one can seem to agree the official dates of mourning, so I guess I will just play it safe for the whole of November.</p>\n<p>It is interesting to see how differently things are done here to how they are back home.  We might get a token bank holiday so that everyone can watch the funeral being televised on BBC (who here remembers watching Princess Diana\'s service?) but I reckon a month of mourning would interfere with the economy too much for the UK government to give it a second thought!</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2013-10-30 03:47:53',1,'2013-10-30 03:47:53','2013-10-30 18:06:54'),(15459,20,'Our story','our-story','Two teachers in love and planning their life together in Thailand','Suffering or no suffering, this time we are doing it.

We were happy to be together, under one roof, but felt restricted. Something didn\'t feel right. This \"thing\" hadn\'t ever really felt right.</p>\n<p>In the past I dealt with this issue by saving (sometimes borrowing) some money, packing a bag and running to Southeast Asia. Career, family, mortgage... they could wait. Each time I\'d come home with renewed enthusiasm, having spent the previous few months meeting interesting people and living a pretty carefree existence.</p>\n<p>This enthusiasm invariably waned, usually, after a year or so in a job, in an office, staring at a computer screen, daydreaming of Southeast Asia.</p>\n<h3>Jane</h3>\n<p>Then I met Jane! (I say met... we had actually met at university six years previous to this meeting. So when I say met, I mean fell in love with). Jane shares my sense of cowardice towards \"growing up\" that\'s induced by the prospect of waking up one day and realising that I spent my life in a rat race and it\'s all too late. What\'s more, she also had a burning desire to travel and see the world.</p>\n<p>For months into our courtship, we fantasised about moving to all kinds of exotic places and leading fairytale lifestyles. It took a while, but we moved in together. It was bliss, our own (rented) flat in North London where we could come home to each other at the end of an exhausting day at work. I worked in retail and Jane was, and still is, a teaching assistant in a school.</p>\n<p>We booked our first real holiday together... to Thailand! She had never been and I wanted to show her the country I had fallen for time and time again.</p>\n<h3>Thailand</h3>\n<p>In two weeks we measured the streets of Bangkok, relaxed on the beaches of Koh Chang visited the Elephant Sanctuary (a lifelong dream for Jane) and absorbed the slow pace of life in Chiang Mai. That was all it took. We were going to come out to Thailand and teach and live free from the constraints of the society back home.</p>\n<p>We were rebels with a cause and we got to work reading and researching. All was going well and we even moved out of the flat to live with our respective parents to save up our magic beans.</p>\n<p>Then one day in the spring of 2012, a letter arrived. I still have mixed feelings about this letter. It was an acceptance letter in response to what was a half winded application wrought with self-doubt, for a place on the PGCE programme at Middlesex University.</p>\n<p>As two adults in love and in their late twenties, this letter triggered something completely contradictory to what we felt before. We were both inexplicably filled with a yearning to put down roots. Suddenly, we\'re thinking about how many kids we might want; we\'re saying things like &lsquo;property ladder\', all the while justifying this sudden change of direction by telling each other that we could travel during the school holidays.</p>\n<h3>Depression</h3>\n<p>The year that followed was one of the hardest I have had.</p>\n<p>The PGCE drew from me my will to teach, and at times, to live. It drove me to tears and overwhelming bouts of depression. However, I came out the other end as a qualified primary school teacher with a massive amount of respect for the profession.</p>\n<p>The love and support Jane showed me over the course of this time sealed the deal and I popped the question. She said yes (Well what she actually said was \"yes, OK, just get up, you\'re embarrassing me).</p>\n<p>During the entire length of my PGCE, Jane and I didn\'t live together. I graduated in July 2013 and we still don\'t live together. In fact, during our 4 year relationship, we have only lived together for 9 months!</p>\n<p>Why? Simple; we grew up in London and the cost of living is ridiculously high so we stayed at home with our parents. Granted, the price of a life here doesn\'t stop most people, but we\'ve always been the type that likes to work to live, not the other way round.</p>\n<h3>Wanderlust</h3>\n<p>As I stood on the verge of starting the search for a permanent teaching job in order to commence my NQT year, that old familiar feeling of wanting to pack my bags and run came creeping back.</p>\n<p>I told Jane and we said we would have the summer holiday in Cyprus we had booked and think about our options there. Two weeks of sun was all it took. A week after returning from holiday, Jane had enrolled in a part time CELTA course at Southgate College and I started doing supply work to once again, save those magic beans.</p>\n<p>This was less than two months ago and yet it seems like a lifetime. We said we will be flying out to Bangkok around March next year to give us a month or so to travel around before finding work but my god does time go slow when you want it to fly!</p>\n<h3>The dream</h3>\n<p>I spend my evenings drawling over job postings on Ajarn.com, searching for condos in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. I think I\'ve memorised all the regional guides and I\'ve run out of blog postings to read on there!</p>\n<p>But as agonising as the wait is for me, my heart goes out to Jane. She works in a school full time, only to have every spare minute she gets, taken up by what seems to be a degree in English grammar, squeezed into 12 weeks of evening and weekend classes.</p>\n<p>I can understand how she is unable to daydream of Thailand the way I do as she just can\'t look past her next assignment or observation. Leaving the house when it\'s dark and coming home to do more work when it\'s dark doesn\'t help. I had the same blues during the PGCE so I completely sympathise.</p>\n<p>Still, suffering or no suffering, this time we are doing it. We are Thailand-bound and excited, if somewhat distracted for the time being.</p>\n<p>Sun, smiles, a detachment from most of what and who we know. New friends, new haunts and new experiences.  A different perspective on life.</p>\n<p>Success or failure, this foray into the relative unknown will shape the rest of our lives.

','<p>Ok before I start treading on this sensitive ground, I must confess that at <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv\">EasyHomes</a>&nbsp;we are no experts in matchmaking or finding our clients love. We are also no agony aunts or authorities on matters of the heart. However over the years I have noticed that clients go about looking for a property in not a totally dissimilar way to how they look for their perfect partner.</p>\n<p>Most people have a certain number of criteria they look for in a perfect partner, and these set of criteria can be related (loosely) to the criteria people use when looking for a place to live. I have gone through a number of these points below, comparing them to how looking for one a partner can be related to looking for a property. I have also done these in no particular order, and of course the importance of the criteria listed below for both the search to find a partner and the search to find a property will differ from person, depending on the individual.</p>\n<p><strong>1.	Physical Attributes</strong></p>\n<p>For some this is more important than others. Some people hold aesthetics as extremely important and for others it is further down their list. However I think it is fair to say that we all care to some degree about this factor when looking for both a partner and a property.</p>\n<p>Certain physical attributes in a person interest us, and this also goes for a property. And just like when people are looking for a partner, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It may be that you like small well designed properties, or big spacious ones. It could be that you like modern looking lines and colours, or perhaps you look for a traditional or retro look?</p>\n<p>There are of course fashions as well, clothes and haircuts go in and out of fashion, just as do architectural designs and interior looks. However when choosing a property it is always recommended to choose one that you feel comfortable with.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Location, location, location</strong></p>\n<p>This is of course the classic mantra of anyone looking for a new home, whether to buy or to rent. This can also be the case when looking for a partner. How many times have you known someone or may be yourself who has met a person on holiday and a romance has sparked. These two people seem to get on, and the person seems to tick so many of the boxes they are looking for. However the problem is that at the end of the holiday they both have to go their separate ways. Perhaps they live at one end of the country to each other, or even more likely they live in totally different countries.  As much as the person appeals, the practicalities of the relationship make it very difficult to continue and the romance eventually ends.</p>\n<p>This is the same when choosing a property. For example, you may see the perfect property near the BTS in Bearing, but the problem is that you work in Don Muang, a commute the entire length of the BTS Sukhumvit line and then a 20-30mins taxi ride - just not practical in terms of time, effort and cost - a bit like visiting another country 1-2 times a month to keep a holiday romance alive.&nbsp;The bottom line is that your property has to fit practically into your lifestyle or it will become a strain to live there.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	Socializing</strong></p>\n<p>Another aspect that comes into choosing a partner is their sociability, do they like to do the same things you do? Do they have similar or the same hobbies and interests? Do they fit in with your social hours and life? Do they get on with your existing network of friends or family?</p>\n<p>Again properties are like this. For example it is all very well choosing a great property near to where you work. This makes the commute almost non-existent, it cuts down on cost, it cuts down on effort and it cuts down on time. However if it is far from where you socialize or where your regular group of friends are then perhaps it reduces your chances to enjoy yourself.</p>\n<p>Of course no single criteria should dictate the property you choose, no more than no single criteria should dictate the person you choose to be with, but a balance of self enjoyment and social comfort should be take into consideration.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Financial Costs</strong></p>\n<p>Whatever we say or think, unfortunately money plays a significant role in both property and partner searching.  I am not saying it is the most important role, but just like in this list I dare say it comes in the top half-dozen of factors that most people consider.&nbsp;For choosing a partner the subject of finance may contrast from what financial support the person can offer them. To the opposite end of the spectrum on the person thinking, how much is this person going to cost them to look after?</p>\n<p>And this is the same with choosing a property, the costs in renting or buying can be a decisive factor. Of course in some cases this may be a shrewd move. For example paying a little bit more for a place near your work and social life, may reduce the cost of travel and work out cheaper in the long-run. Or buying a more expensive property in a more desirable area may lead to higher and faster capital gains when going to sell the property later.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	Status in society</strong></p>\n<p>One final attribute I will cover here is social status. Some people look for people with certain social status. Maybe they have a high-powered job, maybe a high-education and intellect. Or perhaps they have a bit of fame. These attributes can then rub-off on the partner giving them kudos also.</p>\n<p>On the other end of the end of the spectrum if a person has a dodgy past, low intellect or has a questionable employment record, then they offer their prospective partners very little kudos on the whole.</p>\n<p>Again this can compared to hunting for a home. If your new home is in a respected and high-quality neighborhood then it may even be an address that can be boasted about. People will know that you have a certain status that your home offers.&nbsp;However if you choose a property in a less desirable area, then you maybe reluctant to entertain guests at the property or even tell people which part of town you live in.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>\n<p>When setting out to look for either a person or a property, we have certain ideals in mind, and of course we would like our ultimate choices to tick all the boxes and score 10 out o 10 in each box.&nbsp;However we have to be realistic, this is the real world and we know that a compromise has to be made. In fact if your property or partner scores 10 out of 10 in any of the above boxes, then you have done very well!</p>\n<p>The reality is that compromise must be taken each and every step of the way. The property has to fit into your lifestyle, your budget and yet please your aesthetically and provide positives in other criteria. Just like choosing a partner, it is not easy and the choice you eventually make will probably not last for life. However a choice eventually has to be made, unless you want to be metaphorically left out in the cold (or searing heat as in the case of Bangkok.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

From what I have seen as an English teacher working in government secondary schools over the last 10 years, I\'m not surprised, ','<p>Recently I read with considerable interest an article on The Nation website that stated that adults in Thailand are ranked 55th from a list of 60 countries on their English proficiency skills.</p>\n<h3>My observations</h3>\n<p>From what I have seen as an English teacher working in government secondary schools here in Thailand over the last 10 years I must say that I\'m not surprised and actually relieved that someone else is aware of how bad the situation here really is. But it begs the question: with all the emphasis and effort on employing native English speakers to teach English language lessons throughout Thailand, why then is Thailand so far down the ladder?</p>\n<p>It\'s interesting that at a time when we are inundated with messages about how Thailand is \"Ready for ASEAN\" every other ASEAN nation ranks above Thailand for English proficiency, even countries that Thai people look down their noses at, such as Myanmar and Laos</p>\n<p>How can this be? Are these countries all achieving something superior to Thailand with their limited budgets? Are they attracting \"better\" English teachers by offering higher salaries and better &lsquo;perks\'? The answer, I believe, has more to do with how students learn in Thailand and not the teaching being offered by foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>I am constantly amazed at how many year 12 students (Muttayom 6) find it almost impossible to speak even the simplest English sentences. These young people who have been &lsquo;learning\' English for approximately 10 years are unable to even answer the simple question, \"Where are you going?\"</p>\n<p>Obviously I am making an enormous generalisation here but it seems that the older a student is in Thailand, the worse their English language proficiency is. A stroll around any Thai government school will reveal why this is.</p>\n<h3>A flawed system</h3>\n<p>Thai students are not &lsquo;taught\' by their Thai teachers. As an outsider it\'s easy to come to this country and criticise aspects of Thai life that don\'t &lsquo;measure up\' to what we have back home. I don\'t wish to sound rude, arrogant or even racist, but it is a fact that the government-funded education system in Thailand is totally teacher-centred and revolves around students copying &lsquo;information\' from either a blackboard/whiteboard or from handouts.</p>\n<p>Incredibly, the Thai teachers never question this, never wonder if this method is beneficial or effective and is used as a method of &lsquo;teaching\' in every subject. When the students are eventually tested they are asked what they can remember, not what they know.</p>\n<p>In Thailand there does not seem to be any understanding of the enormous difference between these two. English is, of course, no different. For example, students can remember what the phrasal verb \"take off\" means but are totally incapable of using it when speaking or writing. I have a couple of stories to illustrate how &lsquo;teaching\' is done here.</p>\n<p>My first school teaching position was in Phuket and there were children from primary and secondary levels being &lsquo;taught\' there. I was teaching the secondary students and I was interested to see how Thai teachers taught the younger ones in the primary level.</p>\n<p>One of the primary teachers was a lovely, friendly lady called khun Dang and I went and observed one of her classes when I had some free time. She was in charge of a room full of 50 grade 2 pupils who were totally out of control until khun Dang began copying a large section of text from the textbook that every pupil happened to already have on their desks.</p>\n<h3>Going through the motions</h3>\n<p>As soon as khun Dang stood up, the boys and girls all began to copy whatever she wrote into their notebooks. When khun Dang had finished she sat down at her tiny desk at the front corner of the room and simply sat there looking totally bored and disinterested.</p>\n<p>One by one the students would finish their copying and bring their notebooks up to khun Dang\'s desk where she would tick and sign their work with a red pen whilst not even looking at what the children had written. Then the students would go back to their desks and resume playing/fighting/dancing, etc.</p>\n<p>With perfect timing the last student had their book &lsquo;marked\' just as the lesson finished and khun Dang stood up and walked out of the room. Suffice to say, I was absolutely gobsmacked.</p>\n<p>Recently I was teaching at a secondary school in Nonthaburi and I arrived to my classes to find that all my grade 11 (Muttayom 5) students were busily copying words into their notebooks. I was not overly concerned about this because (a) this happens in almost every class that I teach and (b) no matter what I say or what I do it is impossible to stop Thai students doing work from other subjects in my lessons without them resenting me.</p>\n<p>On this occasion, however, it was the same information being copied for all of my grade 11 classes and even my best students were doing it. I was able to ask them what they were copying and this is what I discovered: every student was told by their science teacher to copy every word from a six-page handout (which contained information about health and nutrition) into their notebooks. If they did this then they would receive 6 points towards their end-of-semester score.</p>\n<h3>You can\'t fool the students</h3>\n<p>I taught six grade 11 classes with an average of 45 students per class. That\'s 270 students and a total of 1,620 pages copied into their notebooks. I asked my students (the ones who understood my questions and were able to answer me) if (a) they honestly thought that their teacher would sit down and read 1,620 pages of hand-copied notes to make sure they had been copied correctly and (b) if they thought they had learnt anything from this exercise at all.</p>\n<p>They were honest enough to tell me that they did not even read what they were copying, merely transcribing letters and words and that they hated the exercise and had no respect for their teacher. The teacher had copied the text from the internet, printed it off and given the resultant 6 pages to each of her students.</p>\n<p>If I had the temerity to do that for one of my classes, I would have quite deservedly been sacked, no question. I wondered what the teacher\'s lesson plan must have looked like but that\'s neither here nor there.</p>\n<p>Obviously these are only two isolated incidents and I do not wish to appear that I am critical of every Thai teacher in Thailand. My point with these two stories is that from my experience it is the Thai education system and the way that Thai children are taught which is the biggest reason why their English language skills (and no doubt the skills that we take for granted in their other subjects) are so appallingly low.</p>\n<p>Thai children are not encouraged to question anything in class. Walk past a Thai lesson in progress and you will rarely if ever see a student with their hand raised (unless they want to go to the toilet, which is often).</p>\n<p>Thai children are not curious about the world around them, they do not wonder about things. They are aware, for example, that there are such things as British English and American English - but they never ask why. They accept everything they are told and that\'s it.</p>\n<p>By the time Thai students reach native English teachers in a classroom situation they have been programmed to sit on their hard, wooden chairs at their tiny wooden desks and to magically absorb whatever comes from their teacher.</p>\n<p>When we present a model of English in the board the students are unable to process the information and use it in a way that we take for granted. They are only able to copy words without thinking and this, of course, is no way to master a foreign language.</p>\n<p>Unless the authorities in Thailand seriously consider totally overhauling the way Thai children are educated in Thailand, encouraging inquisitive young minds and nurturing young talent the English proficiency in particular in Thailand will always be appallingly low and the country will be the laughing stock of ASEAN when it eventually joins it.</p>\n<p><strong>Tony Mitchell</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/testonline.jpg','2013-11-30 03:59:01',1,'2013-11-30 03:59:01','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15518,71,'More English camps','more-english-camps','Possibly the final instalment of my summer camp trilogy','As the semester at my Mathayom-level government school came to a close, the students in the Mini English Program (MEP) got the chance to go to two different camps, one in Cha Am beach near Hua Hin, and the other in Green Beach, also near Hua Hin.','<p>As the semester at my Mathayom-level government school came to a close, the students in the Mini English Program (MEP) got the chance to go to two different camps, one in Cha Am beach near Hua Hin, and the other in Green Beach, also near Hua Hin. Naturally, being that our 70-ish students were going off to camps, their teachers (being us) went along as well.</p>\n<p>The first camp allowed the students to miss a day of school just before the beginning of final exams. They loved that. So did their teachers. On the way to the camp hotel, we stopped off at a mangrove tree farm. The students quite enjoyed that; we all took longtail boats to a river where everyone got out and planted a mangrove tree. I stayed in the boat after having about twenty gigantic ants crawl on me after stepping out of the boat for a mere ten seconds. Whimp, I know, but mutant ants? Count me out.</p>\n<p>The camp itself was run by staff apparently affiliated with the hotel we stayed in - and literally in the middle of nowhere. As in, no 7/11 stores nearby. For a moment, I wondered if I was even still in Thailand!</p>\n<p>Although I wouldn\'t say it was the most organized of camps, the kids seemed to really enjoy themselves - even the math activities! That was rather amusing; as their teachers, the seven of us that went to the camp with the students, walked around and helped the students with their activities. When the math section of the program came to pass, I had several students asking for my help with math brain teasers... and I could do nothing but smile. Sorry kids, your science teacher is a complete imbecile when it comes to math.</p>\n<p>The camp only lasted one night, and the next day we returned to Bangkok. Naturally, of the two coach buses we took, I chose the one that broke down near Central Changwattana as we came back into the city. Even so, it only set us back by an hour as we waited for a replacement coach.</p>\n<p>The second camp was two nights and in a quite nice resort in Green Beach. For this camp, we (the teachers) were \"in charge\" of the students and their activities. This camp included several hours of games both at the resort and on the beach, a cool little science experiment involving batteries and making a wire spin like an electric motor (cheers to my colleague for that great idea), and a Hawaiian night that really was more of a junior high school dance. The students had a good bit of free time, and all in all I think they had a pretty good time.</p>\n<p>While camps such as these certainly exist in Western schools, I have never personally been to one with such well-behaved students who seem to enjoy themselves so much. Although the teachers were technically supervising, I must say: term break camps are another perk of teaching in Thailand.</p>','','2013-11-12 16:43:53',1,'2013-11-12 16:43:53','2013-11-13 06:06:54'),(15519,77,'Another swipe at the system','another-swipe-at-the-system','I know I\'m not the first to write about the education system in Thailand ','Last week I was sat down by my managers (yes, this required all three of them) with minutes to go before the bell for first lesson and was told that my teaching style is not appropriate for the school.

The International Institute for Management Development ranked Thailand at 51 out of 60 countries with regards to its education system as a whole.  Despite spending 20% of its annual budget on education (which surely a good chunk of went towards giving every student a tablet in one of their latest &lsquo;keeping up appearances\' gimmicks), Thailand is failing in the global stakes educationally.</p>\n<p>I may have only been teaching in Thailand for little over a year but its long enough to have a fair insight into the way things work and luckily not long enough to have been brainwashed into thinking that it\'s a system that works.</p>\n<p>Thailand is set to enter the Association of South East Asian Networks (ASEAN) in 2015 where it will promptly fall to the bottom of the pile with regards to many aspects including the English speaking skills of the nation and the success of its education system and the students that are dragged through it.</p>\n<p>The minister for education is <a href=\"http://www.pattayamail.com/localnews/education-minister-promises-revolution-in-thai-education-30327\">calling for a revolutionary reform</a> - apparently he has a magic wand that makes this possible to think up and implement in less than 18 months.</p>\n<p>In a system where archaic, military inspired regimes are ingrained into practice, it will take a long time to overhaul the whole system - what Thailand needs is a long term solution, not a short term bodge job that will make them appear fit to be part of the ASEAN network alongside its fellow SE Asian neighbours.  But then again this is Thailand, where saving face is more important than admitting fault.</p>\n<p>Despite employing a system where it is impossible to fail a student, Thailand still manage to come out bottom of the pile globally once again.  This may be an idiot-proof way to have a 100% pass rate but unfortunately for Thailand it isn\'t all about keeping up appearances and as such, Thailand is systematically failing across the board from making students study for too many hours a week, hanging on to military practices of forcing haircuts on students and using old fashioned teaching methods such as rote learning and memorization.  And I haven\'t even touched on the continuing use of corporal punishment and being one of the few countries around the world to make their university students wear a uniform.</p>\n<p>The minister for education wants to turn the current education system on its head, to do away with rote learning and memorisation approaches to teaching, encouraging students to improve their critical thinking and problem solving skills.  But when we still have schools just like mine who want a western looking teacher but not the western approach to teaching his changes aren\'t going to get very far, especially not in time for Thailand\'s entry into ASEAN in 2015.

I didn\'t need to learn Thai to allow me to live in Thailand, of course - it was simply a goal of mine.</p>\n<p>I was not content to simply speak Thai; I also wanted to be able to read and write it so that I could eventually master the language and, more importantly, use it. I\'m still a long way from being a fluent communicator and I have trouble understanding spoken Thai (especially on TV) but being able to read and, to a lesser extent, to write has been invaluable for my day-to-day life here.</p>\n<p>As an English teacher I am constantly reminded that I am paid to do so because I am expected to speak English at all times in the classroom. I don\'t have any argument with this because by simply exposing students to listen to a native English speaker for 50 minutes per week is better than nothing.</p>\n<h3>Student difficulties</h3>\n<p>I must always be aware, however, of my speed when talking and to accentuate the sounds that we have in English but are not present in Thai. But if I did not know anything about Thai language, how could I know this?</p>\n<p>My philosophy on spoken communication has always been that perfect grammar, extensive vocabulary and intimate knowledge of tenses are all totally worthless if the listener cannot understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.</p>\n<p>Wherever I have taught in Thailand I have almost always been asked to teach &lsquo;listening and speaking\'. If I am very fortunate, I may be given a specific textbook to use that comes with a listening CD. These resources are typically very well written but they are never specific for Thai learners because they do not tackle pronunciation of the &lsquo;English sounds\' that Thai students need to make in order to be understood.</p>\n<p>If you ask a Thai student to say, for example, \"The dog\" they will say something that sounds like \"Duh dok\" because they do not have the \"th\" sound in Thai and they do not end words with the voiced &lsquo;G\' sound as we do.</p>\n<p>What they do (and I am guilty of this, too) is they transliterate English into Thai and pronounce the Thai words using the conventions of the Thai language. So in effect when you ask them to speak English they are really speaking Thai. Unless I knew something about the Thai language I would be totally ignorant of this.</p>\n<h3>Does perfect pronunciation exist?</h3>\n<p>This brings up a whole argument about the need to perfect pronunciation. I used to work with a group of Irish English teachers in Bahrain. I had never associated with Irish people before in any capacity and, as a language teacher, I was amazed to hear some of them pronounce the word &lsquo;month\' as &lsquo;moont\'.</p>\n<p>I grew up watching Dave Allen and listening to Ian Paisley on the news but I had never heard &lsquo;month\' pronounced like this before. Also, these Irish teachers pronounced &lsquo;the\' exactly the same as Thai people do - &lsquo;duh\', as well as &lsquo;dis\', &lsquo;dat\', &lsquo;dese\' and &lsquo;dose\'.</p>\n<p>I must admit, I had real problems with this when I first encountered it. I had left Thailand in 2006 searching for greener pastures and came upon native English speakers who, according to my philosophy, did not speak English correctly!</p>\n<p>Were the Irish correct or were they speaking &lsquo;wrong\'? Should I have one rule for the Irish and another rule for Thai people? I must admit, I didn\'t know what to do.</p>\n<p>After a lot of thought I decided that I was obviously in no position to ask the Irish teachers (some of whom became very good friends of mine, by the way) to start changing the way they spoke and reverted to my philosophy that as long as the spoken language is understood by the listener then everything is OK.</p>\n<p>When my Irish friends said, \"I came here two moont ago\", I knew what they meant. I\'m sure that if they said that to a Thai person, however, the response would be \"Arai nah?\" (What?) Then the Irish person would have to explain again, perhaps in a different way, such as \"I came here in July\" or \"I came here eight weeks ago\".</p>\n<p>When I speak Thai in my everyday life I am not satisfied unless I speak with correct pronunciation. To me, correct pronunciation means speaking the language so that it is easily understood with no confusion. If I get into a taxi in Bangkok and ask the driver to take me to \"Future Park Rangsit\" he will probably have no idea where that is. But if I pronounce it as it is written in Thai, \"Fiw-jerr bark Rung-sit\" the driver will take me straight there.</p>\n<p>I constantly advise my students that if they think in Thai they will always speak Thai, not English. I then remind them that I have exactly the same problem. If I insist on speaking transliterated Thai I am not speaking Thai, I am merely speaking English. If I do that in Thailand with Thai people I am asking for trouble.</p>\n<h3>Another reason a knowledge of Thai is priceless</h3>\n<p>This brings me to the second most important benefit of knowing the Thai language as an English teacher: the relationship with your students, the bond, the rapport with them will be so much stronger when they know (a) that you have taken the time to learn their language and (b) that you encounter the same problems that they do.</p>\n<p>Whenever I meet a class of students for the first time I always write my name in Thai on the board. I know I should write it in English but I do this for a very important reason that is immediately evident to the students. It shows that I know about their language and then I show them that the pronunciation of my name in Thai is not the same as it is in English.</p>\n<p>Eventually they understand that to speak English they must think in English. When this breakthrough happens (and it doesn\'t happen instantly) it is a huge bonus when I teach thereafter. Then I can introduce the six sounds of English that are not part of the Thai language (yes, there are only six and one of them is French) and they can gradually incorporate them into their spoken English whenever we encounter them in class.</p>\n<p>Sadly, I find that this aspect of teaching spoken English has never been taught to any of my students before because their Thai teachers invariably know nothing about English pronunciation and their foreign English teachers know nothing about spoken Thai so that the gap between the two languages is never crossed.</p>\n<p>Ideally, I believe that this type of Speaking and Listening work should commence as early in a Thai student\'s life as possible but how many foreign English teachers know enough Thai to do so?</p>\n<p>Another benefit of knowing Thai is that I can very quickly help my students understand something if I can say the word in Thai during a lesson. I find that most students know what the words &lsquo;verb\' and &lsquo;adjective\' mean but very few understand when I say &lsquo;noun\'.</p>\n<p>If I then say the Thai word for noun there is a collective, \"Ohhh...\" and the lesson continues. The same with the word &lsquo;consonant\', for example. Many Thai students have never been taught the difference between consonant sounds and vowel sounds, not even in their own language, and to be able to quickly help them to understand by using Thai is a massive bonus.</p>\n<p>An understanding of Thai language is not a prerequisite for teaching English in Thailand and some schools will not be happy to know that their highly-paid foreign English teachers are using Thai in their lessons but in my practice the sensible use of Thai as an aid to teaching spoken English is absolutely priceless.</p>\n<p>I recommend learning to speak, read and write Thai because it will help any teacher to convey their message in class (if used correctly) and help them live their lives much more comfortably away from the school environment.</p>\n<p><strong>Tony Mitchell</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2013-11-14 02:44:44',1,'2013-11-14 02:44:44','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15533,20,'Just be thankful you don\'t teach in the UK','just-be-thankful-you-dont-teach-in-the-uk','I live in a glass house so I\'ve put away my stones.','I often notice job postings, warning teachers that they will be revered in Thailand due to their chosen profession.

Due to this, my interest in all things Thai has increased rapidly. The \"hot topic\" that seems to be rearing its provocative head repeatedly is the condemnation of a military disciplinarian approach to student culture and the read, remember, regurgitate philosophy towards learning. I will reiterate early on that I have never taught in Thailand and only have what I have read online during my research to go by, so no judgements will be made on the Thai education system in this article!</p>\n<p>The perspective I do have is of someone who grew up in a former British colony where such a disciplined approach to educational conduct, behaviour and learning was exercised meticulously. At the age of 15, I left Cyprus, the country of my birth, and continued my education in London where I now live and work as a primary school teacher.</p>\n<h3><strong>Appalling education standards</strong></h3>\n<p>Hiding behind the facade of the creative curriculum, the British government has systematically lowered the standard of education to an all time low (UK ranked 19th out of 33 European countries by Eurostat, 2012).  British education has slowly turned into a babysitting service where children are dropped off to \"breakfast club\" an hour early and collected from \"homework club\" an hour after school ends (often they have already had breakfast/ have no homework that needs doing, so they are told to read a book for an hour!), simply because mum and dad need to work longer. The general standard of education has slipped over the edge and slowly dissolved in a \"child centred\" approach to learning that lets them fall behind.</p>\n<p>When I arrived in England, It took a whole school year in most subjects, and two in some, for the curriculum to catch up with what I had already learned in Cyprus. Despite this, it\'s now quite evident to me that the creative approach allowing investigation and exploration, will develop children as critical thinkers and increase their ability to problem solve. However, I now teach in such a system (where children also are not allowed to fail until they are taking GCSE\'s at 15/16) and sadly, I can see the direct link, in the determent to British society.</p>\n<h3>Kids have it tough</h3>\n<p>There is no balance for these kids. They don\'t get much time with their parents, particularly when they are seduced by technological advances in TV, social media and online gaming. Some of the children do not own toys so the only place to play is at school!</p>\n<p>The adherence induced by the disciplinarian approach is integral to protecting the values of a culture (I know, I know. Stick with me) in the sense that they are there as a reflection of those values in the first place. I still take my hands out of my pockets and stand upright when I bump into an old teacher of mine back home. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who speaks disrespectfully to their elders where I grew up and the general demeanour of young people when out and about is a far cry from the plagued state of British youth (of course this is a generalisation but one that is influenced by recurrences).</p>\n<h3>Zero respect for teachers</h3>\n<p>I often notice job postings, warning teachers that they will be revered in Thailand due to their chosen profession. Believe me, Britain is one of few countries where teachers are not revered. It\'s the status quo in most places. I do often get told to F off by students as young as 11 when I ask them to tuck their shirt in. Yet there is NOTHING meaningful I can do about it (little Timmy will be the first to tell me that, when I throw an empty threat his way). So as our elders so wisely said, there\'s no harm in a bit of discipline!</p>\n<p>Now, the sinister side to enforcing the military behaviour is that it is simply crucial if children are expected to copy, memorise and regurgitate masses of text. Military style revision for hours on end needs military style discipline.</p>\n<p>You may think that this is the part where I offer my unique take on what the best solution is.  Maybe a bit of both worlds, a compromise could work. Should they keep the disciplinarian rote learning but make those who fail repeat the year? Give them all a blank sheet of paper and ask them to draw their feelings! Whatever the solution is, with an opportunity to clean up its act, The Thai education system seems to have the chance to reform and develop a more investigative curriculum which allows creative problem solving. All I\'m saying is they need to tread carefully before they\'ve gone too far and they become the UK.</p>\n<p><strong>Bob Smith</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/goodbye.jpg','2016-06-22 04:19:33',0,'2016-06-22 04:19:33','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15535,20,'Thailand will do just fine','thailand-will-do-just-fine','Why Thailand doesn\'t have to fear the future and the ASEAN community','People claim that Thailand will be \'left behind\' in the coming years, but there is no evidence for this assumption.

Speakers of Hungarian or Icelandic are acutely aware of professional and cultural isolation when the only language they speak is their own.</p>\n<p>By contrast, native English speakers are overwhelmingly monoglot. They experience little to no pressure to learn another language because they already speak the world\'s lingua franca.</p>\n<p>Europe\'s major languages, excluding English, are German and French with Spanish and Italian following closely behind. When it comes to speaking English, Germany appears in the \'High Proficiency\' category. Spain falls under \'Moderate Proficiency\' and both Italy and France appear in the category just above Thailand\'s: \'Low Proficiency\'.</p>\n<p>All four countries have populations large enough to supply most cinema releases with local language voiceovers. Indeed, a Spanish or French cinemagoer can spend a lifetime watching mainstream American movies dubbed by local actors. By contrast, Swedes and Finns watch everything in English with subtitles.</p>\n<p>Who in Italy or France feels compelled to learn English when almost everything they\'d like to read or watch is translated into their mother tongue?</p>\n<p>There are more books translated into Spanish every year than have been translated into Arabic ever. The point is that regional superpowers can afford to take a dismissive view of learning other languages. This is changing slowly but historically has been the case.</p>\n<p>My point, of course, is that Thailand, being the big fish in a Southeast Asian pond, feels little cultural pressure to improve its English.</p>\n<p>A Cambodian girl who wants to read Cosmopolitan knows she needs to learn another language to do so, because - to my knowledge - Cosmo doesn\'t yet publish a Khmer edition. A Thai woman need only pick up Thai Cosmo.</p>\n<p>For those who hail from small nations with minor languages there is a sense of urgency from the very beginning when it comes to language acquisition.</p>\n<p>Take Iberia. Superficially Spain and Portugal appear to have a lot in common but one is a regional superpower and the other is not. Despite the fact that Portugal is poorer on a per capita basis than Spain, the average Portuguese speaks at a higher level of English than his Spanish counterpart.</p>\n<p>The only thing that explains this disparity is a sense by the Portuguese that to get ahead in the 21st century a command of English is essential.</p>\n<p>People claim that Thailand will be \'left behind\' in the coming years, but there is no evidence for this assumption. Its economy has grown considerably in recent decades, all the while with relatively low levels of English proficiency.</p>\n<p>The French and the Italians speak barely more English than the Thais yet this hasn\'t prevented them from being economic powerhouses.</p>\n<p>For all the money they\'ve spent Japan and South Korea aren\'t wowing anyone with their English, yet the countries are regional titans. As for ASEAN changing the game, I won\'t hold my breath. Thais will still hire Thais, whether or not they can speak English.</p>\n<p>There is little doubt that Thailand has its problems. But instead of blaming poor English-language acquisition on systemic failure we should accept that Thailand, like Italy and France, probably sees foreign language acquisition as peripheral and even unnecessary.</p>\n<p>The bottom line is that Thailand, unlike Laos or Myanmar, is a country with a vibrant economy that can offer its citizens a relatively promising life while remaining happily monoglot. And given the infrequency of meeting native English speakers who can converse in a second language, that is something we should all understand.</p>\n<p><strong>Derek Hopper</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dfc2.jpg','2013-11-14 05:45:40',1,'2013-11-14 05:45:40','2016-01-28 15:03:41'),(15540,20,'Ten reasons why I love my job and my life in Thailand','ten-reasons-why-i-love-my-job-and-my-life-in-thailand','Thought you would enjoy reading something positive','Life offers many twists and opportunities to those with an open mind; and after an amicable divorce from my wife and selling my house and possessions, I hit the road with a small backpack for company.

Because of our fortunate meeting I enquired about how I could live here and was overjoyed to be told that I didn\'t need a degree in order to be an English teacher. And there lies the first and strongest reason for me loving my job. I do it because I want to, not just to obtain a visa or for money to spend on young girls who wouldn\'t look at me once let alone twice back home and to spend my evenings drowning myself with buckets of dodgy cheap Thai whiskey, as so many foreign teachers do.</p>\n<p>I cannot express the deep internal happiness I feel when whizzing down the road checking out mango, banana and coconut trees, Asian minor birds bombarding my head, birds of prey soaring high in the blue skies, snakes blocking my way as they stretch across the road and the occasional working monkeys clinging to the rails of the coconut collector\'s cars. I do sometimes get the ex-pat blues, but they last for a few seconds until I\'ve taken a look around me and remind myself that I am living my dream every day.</p>\n<p>The second reason for enjoying my job is very simple. How many jobs can you do around the world; that are not dangerous, and get up to eight weeks of paid holiday? I love the time I spend in class, but also love my free time.</p>\n<p>The third reason for loving my job is that I\'m very close to being fifty years old, yet inside me I am still just a boy of sixteen. My job allows me to act a fool and clown around entertaining young Thais whilst teaching them my language. I know from the students\' response that they enjoy learning with me as I play with Thai, English and Chinese languages. My mind is very creative and I have a wonderful imagination, something I think is very important for this job and to keep you from going insane.</p>\n<p>Fourth reason; I\'m quite strict in my class when it comes to being polite and learning self-responsibility. One great pleasure I have in my job is guiding young people going through their adolescent years, which I believe are the hardest due to the changes that take place to our bodies and minds. I get a lot of satisfaction watching my students come into school as children and leaving as young adults with a good code of conduct.</p>\n<p>I guess I\'m a bit old fashioned with my values, but I do believe we should pay respect to the people around us regardless of their position in society. I personally take time to \'wai\' everyone around me, be they the school cleaners or the principle. And in doing this I find the Thai people around me show a lot of respect to myself. This doesn\'t happen to the people who choose to live here yet refuse to adjust to their surroundings and adopting the Thai way. Respect gains respect. I am more aware of this as when I was back in London working away and singing a song I had people threaten to kill me because I was so happy with life.</p>\n<p>At this point let me point out that when I was 19 years old I had an accident which left me in hospital and unable to move. The doctor told me I was paralyzed and would never play football or run again. I got out of that in two weeks by pure determination. I don\'t tell you this to gain a tear, only to let you know that I am thankful for every day I have to walk upon this Earth.</p>\n<p>That leads me onto the fifth reason for enjoying this job. I have so many laughs with my kids. I enjoy watching the funny things children do. They can just be small things that put a smile on my face. How they interact, how they respond, some of the things they come out with or the things they think are funny. I like to share a joke with them and so they share their jokes with me.</p>\n<p>I speak Queen \'s English and like to try to get people to speak clearly when they interact with me. During my TEFL training I was advised to never stop someone talking even if it wasn\'t clear English. I go against this and always stop my students from saying \"no prompem\" so that later in life they will be clearly understood.</p>\n<p>To give an example of how this can have a good effect: I was standing in my school which was full of students from other schools coming to do their university entrance exams. I got talking to a bunch of young M6 girls to see what they were doing in my school. Conversation developed and one girl was outstandingly well spoken. When I asked her how she had become so good at speaking she explained that she had had one teacher who made her and her friends understand the difference between well-spoken and not well-spoken English.  I said that she should go to thank her teacher as he or she had done a very good job. Imagine my surprise when she waied me and said \"thank you\" to me; I had been that teacher in another school but I couldn\'t remember her. So there lies the sixth reason for loving this job.</p>\n<p>Seventh reason is an easy one. As I explained before I used to be an antique restorer. Some people may think it is a very good job, but in truth it is a very dirty job with lots of dust and some dangerous chemicals floating around. When I was going through what I now recognise as a midlife crisis I wanted to change my lifestyle. Doing this job now I am always clean and well dressed. Apart from the occasional blue splash from a marker pen this job is nice and clean; gone are the days of being known as chalky due to the white dust that filled the rooms every time I cleaned the board.</p>\n<p>In eighth place as a reason for loving and enjoying my nine to five, or should I say eight to four, is something my mum told me. She said that sometimes I might be teaching something to my students and they won\'t understand it at that time. It can take between five to twenty years before they understand what I was on about. Then it goes &lsquo;click\' and they get it.</p>\n<p>I have become well known for opening students minds. I don\'t just teach about my language, I also teach about life. I share my experiences and tell my stories to classes that sit there glued to every word and taking it all in. The best thing is when some of my first students have now become teachers themselves and share my stories with their students. As I said before I\'m an old fashioned guy who\'s in touch with the modern world, but do believe in the old ways. These ways are nearly all gone from my part of the world and a lot of people think I\'m a nutter because I believe in the spirit of mother Earth.</p>\n<p>That leads me to the ninth reason for loving what I do. I abhor capitalism and the consumer society. Greed, hate, anger and jealousy are very negative emotions which are fed by the &lsquo;keeping up with the Jonses\' syndrome. I believe in &lsquo;the middle way\' as by the teachings of Lord Buddha. \"Desire causes suffering\" and our world is suffering for the corporate\'s desire for more money. It makes me sad to know I live in a world where people on one side of the world burn food to keep a stable price in their neck of the woods while people on the other side of the world are dying from starvation.</p>\n<p>When that happens we have to ask ourselves what kind of society do we live in? Yet most people are so busy looking out for themselves that they forgot to lend a hand to their brothers and sisters, they forgot about social living and social giving. I am so happy when my neighbours come to eat with me or share a drink, it is a lovely feeling when I stop at my coffee shop in the morning and someone has already paid for my beverage. When was the last time someone in London knocked on your door and offered a plate of food to you simply because they thought about you? Thai people are the most beautiful when they accept you because you chose to adopt their ways and are the most generous people I have met in this world.</p>\n<p>And that leads me to the tenth reason while I love my job and my life in Thailand. Compassion. You can see from my writing that I follow the Buddha\'s teachings, but I don\'t follow any strain of Buddhism. I\'m not Theravada, or Mahayana, nor Zen. I\'m just me. I\'m not a religious person although I have read a lot about different religions out of personal interest. I believe that we are given this life for one simple reason; to help others.</p>\n<p>By being a teacher I have the opportunity to extend my hand and pull people through their problems; be it with language or with life and people listen to my advice. This is unconditional compassion because I expect nothing in return, but on the other hand it is conditional because I expect my money at the end of the month which, unfortunately, I need to survive.</p>\n<p>One problem I have with Christianity is the fear of dying that they instill into your conscience. It is a fact that one day we must all leave this mortal coil. For me I\'d prefer to do it in old age with my son holding my hand rather than being squashed by some idiot driving a truck while high on methamphetamines, but I don\'t really have a say in how I\'ll go. My point is that at the end of the day when I do die, can I do so with a peace of mind?</p>\n<p>Can I say to myself that I led a good life or will I be in fear of the great judgment? The way things are going for me and seeing the love that I receive from my students and fellow Thai teachers I think I can close my eyes for the big sleep and smile to myself that I had a good life, was thankful for every day I had and tried to show people that the most important thing in life is to carry love in your hearts to share it with all people.</p>\n<p><strong>Stephan Cannon</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2013-11-14 16:34:04',1,'2013-11-14 16:34:04','2013-11-15 06:06:05'),(15544,21,'Tackling the Skype interview','tackling-the-skype-interview','Having an interview on Skype is nothing to fear if you are well-prepared','Skype is now used by many companies as part of their recruitment drive. If you are faced with the \'ordeal\' of a Skype interview for a teaching position, what can you do to improve your chances of performing well and landing the job?','<p>Thanks to advances in technology, we now live in a rapidly shrinking world. And thanks to computer chat / video programs like Skype - which so many of us are familiar with by now - it\'s possible to see and chat with friends and family members as they sit in bedrooms and living rooms in far-off distant lands.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, Skype is now used by many companies as part of their recruitment drive. If a company has a job applicant who for geographical reasons is unable to attend a traditional face-to-face interview, it\'s still possible to get a feel for the candidate\'s job suitability by interviewing them via webcam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is of course an ideal solution for schools in Thailand - provided they have internet-savvy staff - inasmuch as a school can interview a potential teacher before that person has even left home and set foot in the country.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the ‘Skype interview\' as it\'s become known, is still something of a mystery to many. I\'m guessing the majority of people (me included) have never sat in front of their computer to take part in a formal job interview. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of the Skype interview compared to a traditional one? How should you prepare? What should you avoid doing? So many questions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ajarn.com put the feelers out to its Facebook page visitors and found a number of them were a wealth of knowledge and information on the topic of Skype interviews. After all, they\'ve experienced what it\'s like to be on the other side of the webcam. So, microphones at the ready. Here are some tips on how to perform well in a Skype interview.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Light and sound</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/skype.jpg\" width=\"100\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dii\">The quality of your internet connection and how Skype will perform on the day are often beyond your control but it\'s worth spending a little time testing your webcam to make sure you\'ve got the best possible angle (more on that later) and secondly, that your microphone works.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The last thing you want to do is to introduce yourself to an interviewer and then have to spend time fiddling with your equipment (quiet at the back!) Someone suggested doing a ‘dummy run\' with a friend or family member and getting them to offer feedback on sound and lighting. That sounds like a very wise idea to me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the problems I have with chatting on Skype video is that my desktop computer is positioned right next to a large window. Early in the morning and after darkness falls, there isn\'t a problem, but if I chat to someone in the middle of the afternoon when strong sunlight is streaming through the window, I look like I\'ve just come off the night shift at a nuclear power plant.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>First impressions</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>How does the old saying go? - you never get a second chance to make a first impression. First impressions count. They always have and they always will. And on Skype, the first impression an interviewer will get of you is from your Skype profile picture. That\'s right - the profile picture you\'d completely forgotten about.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now you may have had the most wonderful time on Steve\'s stag night but believe it or not, a photo of you standing on your head trying to down a pint of lager in less than 20 seconds won\'t create a good first impression. Neither does having your face licked by the family pet Alsatian or dressed up as Widow Twankey for a staff fancy dress party.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the other hand, you shouldn\'t feel the need to go for a profile photo that smacks of ‘passport photo\' but every ounce of common sense should tell you to go for something neutral, some might even say dull and boring.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What to wear</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/skype.jpg\" width=\"100\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dii\">This is a tricky one - or is it? I think there are arguments for and against wearing the same kind of attire that you would wear for a formal face-to-face interview - shirt and tie for a man; conservative business-style blouse for a woman - but this is definitely not the time for your favorite Def Leppard tour t-shirt with the out-of-shape neck.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One can\'t though underestimate the psychological aspect of wearing ‘interview clothes\' - even for a Skype interview. Just as a woman feels like going to a party when she\'s dressed for a party, and a soldier feels like a soldier when he\'s in military uniform, your interview performance is sure to be enhanced if you\'re wearing the right clobber.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally, I couldn\'t sit in front of a webcam, in my own bedroom, wearing a navy blue suit and necktie. I just think it\'s slightly over-the-top and I wouldn\'t feel comfortable. I would certainly go for a nice open-necked shirt and trousers though - and I would consider that perfectly acceptable attire in which to face an interviewer. However, if you want to go the whole hog and dress up to the nines complete with immaculately laundered pocket square - let me be the last person to discourage you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While we\'re on the subject of Skype interview attire, one of the ‘dilemmas\' facing the interviewee is that the interviewer won\'t be able to see what is below your waist - your ‘bottom half\' as it were. Let\'s face it, you could wear a crisp white shirt with a necktie and team it with a pair of fishnet stockings - and still get the job. But you\'re not going to be one of those people are you?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The level of formality</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Because it\'s a Skype interview, human nature dictates that the environment is going to feel less ‘formal\' than a traditional job interview. But that doesn\'t mean you shouldn\'t be wary of momentarily letting your guard down.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s still an interview for a job and it\'s still a business conversation between two professional people (unless one of you is wearing the fishnet stockings)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Resist the temptation to trade war stories. The same rule applies to face-to-face interviews. If the interviewer says \"Oh you\'re calling from Ottawa. I had a wild night there once, God, I dread to think how much we drank\" that isn\'t your cue to play the top-it game and tell him about a night out you had that was wilder and longer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Keep the conversation to regular interview topics like your background, your work experience and those all-important questions about the vacant job and you won\'t go far wrong. Once again - don\'t let your guard down by getting carried away with the ‘informality\' of the situation.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Background</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/skype.jpg\" width=\"100\" class=\"fr-fil fr-dii\">It goes without saying but the interviewer will be able to see what\'s behind you - so pay attention to it! If you have the luxury of a portable laptop and wi-fi, then you\'ll probably choose to do the interview in front of the recently-painted French windows or a similar appealing backdrop. Don\'t give the interviewer a chance to say \"Hmmm....nice gun collection\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I use a desktop pc for Skype calls and that desktop pc is in my bedroom. And in my bedroom is a bed. Call me on Skype and you can clearly see it. But it\'s a nice, well-made bed with a nice duvet cover. I\'m not ashamed of it. If your pc is in your bedroom then that\'s the way it is. Just keep the room tidy, that\'s all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you know that you are going to be having a Skype interview, it\'s worth informing other members of the household that you do not want to be disturbed and that your ‘interview room\' is out of bounds for half an hour or so. You don\'t want mom sticking her head around the door and telling you that dinner\'s on the table. Or your sister begging to borrow your new mini-skirt. Or a bleary-eyed flat-mate standing there in his grubby white boxer shorts playing pocket billiards. I think you get the picture.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Speak when spoken to</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Other feedback I got from people with lots of experience using Skype for interviews included one lady who said you have to be careful not to talk at the same time as the interviewer. If there is a delay in the internet connection - which there very often is - then it\'s very easy to fall into the trap of two people trying to talk over each other. In her opinion, this was just one reason why Skype simply doesn\'t work for job interviews</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Close all other programs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Make sure you only keep the Skype program open. Close down the rest of those ‘memory-hoggers\' that might affect your computer\'s performance.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Don\'t forget the all-important eye contact</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When talking with family and friends, we all tend to look at their images on the screen or we look down at the keyboard if we are typing messages at the same time. Remember to actually look at the webcam itself so you are maintaining eye contact.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In conclusion - love them or hate them, Skype interviews are probably here to stay. From all the feedback I got, the disadvantages of the Skype interview seem to far outnumber the plus points. Most people still much prefer the traditional face-to-face interview.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have any more tips or Skype interview stories to add, please send us your comments.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/postbox/skype-interview-tips\">Skype interview tips - good advice from an ajarn reader in the postbox section</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/skype1.jpg','2018-04-11 20:17:00',1,'2017-04-22 20:17:04','2018-08-27 15:35:29'),(15562,81,'English program pitfalls','english-program-pitfalls','What are the disadvantages of being an English program teacher','Since I\'ve been teaching in Thailand. I\'ve by chance and not necessarily choice - always been placed in English Programs. English Programs are immersion-based ‘special\' educative programs placed within government schools.','<p>Since I\'ve been teaching in Thailand, I\'ve by chance and not necessarily choice - always been placed in English Programs.  English Programs are immersion-based &lsquo;special\' educative programs placed within government schools.  My school is a government school.   But within that government school is a separate learning curriculum geared towards fluency in English.</p>\n<p>My students pay extra to be in that program, and take their classes in a separate building with the majority of their instruction given to them in English. My students, who are in Prathom Five, have been taking the majority of their daily classes completely in English since they were in Prathom One. (Or, ideally they have.)</p>\n<h3>English program objectives</h3>\n<p>The idea is that the immersion into English-only classrooms allows students to not only learn English faster and at more advanced level, but that the students will be more confident engaging and speaking in English with foreigners beginning from a very young age.</p>\n<p>There are certainly students in my classroom who are perfect examples of the success of and motivation for the English Program system.  I have, as a result of The English Program system, students who are nearly fluent by the age of ten and with whom I can have extensive conversations in English.</p>\n<p>But not all of my students fit that ideal, and I can\'t help but believe that in some cases participating in an English Program hampers the educational progress of the student.  I feel that is true especially for the students who have lower levels of English, but I also find it can also include the students who speak English well.</p>\n<h3>The downside?</h3>\n<p>The drawbacks of The English Program, as I see them, fall into two distinct categories.  The first category is the problems arising from the vast array of English levels in one classroom.  Some of my students joined the program later in their educational years after being admitted via some test I have never seen.  These students are often at a disadvantage in terms of their language ability.</p>\n<p>In one classroom, there are students who are nearly fluent and confident in their English alongside students who have an extremely limited vocabulary and an understandable hesitancy to practice and improve in front of their far more advanced peers.</p>\n<p>Of course, there is always a range of ability in any classroom.  But I find the abilities to be particularly extreme and limiting, especially when the extreme level in ability tangibly affects the student\'s performance in their other subjects.</p>\n<h3>Two very different students</h3>\n<p>An example of the extreme disparity in English proficiency as a result of lax and late admission to the program: I have one student who wrote me an elaborate essay about global warming in a class with a student who labeled a face as a textbook in a standardized test.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the latter student\'s abilities, he just started later and is at a lower level.  But they don\'t belong in the same classroom.  The problem is, nobody will tell that to the parents.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And so it continues, the gap in levels often only growing wider as the students move on in their years.  The students who are behind in English simultaneously fall behind in Math and Science because, well, they don\'t understand what their teacher is saying.  This often leads to discouragement and lack of motivation in the student as well as understandable behavioral problems (If I was eight I would not want to sit there listening to somebody talk to me in Russian all day.  I\'d start talking and go bezerk, too.)</p>\n<h3>Teaching obstacles</h3>\n<p>So, I often find myself teaching alternating lessons tailored to one group or another- because while teaching to the middle level is the ideal; like the economic classes in America, the middle ground is increasingly non-existent.  I constantly feel that no matter how the lesson is tailored: to the group of kids who can write essays about global warming or to the students who need to study more basic vocabulary and sentence structure, some of my students are getting a disservice in the classroom.</p>\n<p>The second issue is that the students get many of their core subjects primarily in English.  That means Science and Math are taught to them in English.  For some of the students, it isn\'t a problem.  But often even the students who have high levels of English might have a learning difficulty with math in particular, and could really use more explanation in their native tongue.  (Though they do get each subject in Thai once or twice a week).</p>\n<p>For the students whose English is at a lower level, sometimes I wonder if they are learning anything at all in the 5 classes of English-Science they receive and feel quite certain that the one class of Thai-Science is not enough.  Not to mention, and I include myself in this, the TESOL teachers teaching these children are certified to teach English as a foreign language - not Math or Science.  We do our best, but make no pretence that we are in any way certified or qualified to be teaching children about Math and Science.</p>\n<h3>English program advantages</h3>\n<p>I do not mean to say that English Programs have no success or are terrible, useless things.  I quite enjoy the environment, coworkers, and students who I work with.  I find that I am able to get to know and better help many of my students because I teach them multiple subjects and see the same handful of children on a daily basis.</p>\n<p>But even for all of that, I feel that there are some serious pitfalls in The English Program system.  Most notably, I find problems in the extreme difference in English levels in one classroom, unqualified teachers (myself included) teaching Math and Science, and students who do not have a firm grasp on English being taught Math and Science in that language.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to see more of my writing and photographs, etc then please&nbsp;<a href=\"http://theadventuresofraindancemegan.wordpress.com/\">pay a visit to my blog</a>&nbsp;\'Nomadic Megan\' and also&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/nomadicmegan\">my Facebook page</a>.</p>','','2013-11-19 04:35:49',1,'2013-11-19 04:35:49','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15564,20,'Thai students and the fine art of copying','thai-students-and-the-fine-art-of-copying','I couldn\'t believe what was going on in the classroom','I come from a society and a culture where the copying of anything in or out of a classroom is simply looked on as cheating.

No one told me to expect my students to blatantly copy the answers to my carefully crafted exercises from other students and even go so far as to photocopy the answers to their homework.</p>\n<h3>In at the deep end</h3>\n<p>At first I thought it was someone\'s idea of a practical joke but to my continued disappointment it appeared to be not only widespread but ingrained into the Thai education system and, most disappointingly of all, something which Thai teachers turn an absolute blind eye to.</p>\n<p>I come from a society and a culture where the copying of anything in or out of a classroom is simply looked on as cheating. Not only cheating the whole idea of education but cheating oneself out of any possibility of learning, not to mention a total disrespect of the student who goes to the trouble of learning the correct answers in the first place. So I was appalled beyond measure when I saw my first example of copying in my classroom at my first school in Phuket.</p>\n<p>As a beginner teacher and having been given no guidance on what to teach my students, I decided to concentrate on the three major problems that Thai learners have with the English language that I had identified at that time: plurals, past tense and pronunciation. The three Ps.</p>\n<p>I enjoyed helping the students understand that time and knowing when are very important to English speakers and explaining how the tense system worked. As the Thai language has only one form of any verb (the present form) I could sympathise with my students why it is so difficult for them to consider the many verb forms that we have and I totally understood why they revert so comfortably to always using present tense no matter what time they are talking about (this goes for almost every Thai English teacher when they speak, too).</p>\n<h3>Guiding the students</h3>\n<p>So I gave the students model sentences to refer to, drew timelines to indicate time, explained completed actions and encouraged them to think about which verbs to use in a series of exercises that also drew on their knowledge of rote-learned past-tense and past-participle verbs.</p>\n<p>The exercises were fill-in-the-gap ones that the students had to complete by choosing the correct verb from a list of those in the present tense, change them to past tense and write the complete sentence. I was pretty happy with this activity and after I had written the list of verbs and the sentences on the board I asked the students to begin and then wandered around the room. I won\'t easily forget what happened next.</p>\n<p>I naturally expected and assumed that the students (who were in muttayom 4) would read the sentences, identify the correct verb to use and then write the correct sentence into their notebooks. They\'d carefully consider the correct answer and then begin writing.</p>\n<h3>What\'s going on?</h3>\n<p>I was very surprised to see them copying everything I had written on the board including the instructions into their notebooks, neatly ruling red lines where the missing verbs needed to go. \"That\'s a very strange way of doing these,\" I remember thinking to myself. But it was what happened next that floored me. As soon as the students had finished copying everything from the board some of them began wandering around the room and sitting next to other students and blatantly copying their answers from them!</p>\n<p>One girl in particular merely held her notebook up in the air until another student came to her and took it away. I followed her and watched in amazement as she began filling in the answers for her!  I looked around to see another girl with a small pile of notebooks on her desk, busily writing the answers for several other students while they sat and talked or went to sleep.</p>\n<p>Eventually the exercises were all done and the notebooks were all placed in a stack on my table at the front of the room, signifying an end to their &lsquo;work\'. I was deeply upset and took this incident very personally, quite unaware at the time that it was not anything to do with my subject, my nationality or anything. It is simply the way most Thai students complete their &lsquo;work\'.</p>\n<p>Luckily for my mental health I quickly found that it was better for me not to fight &lsquo;em but to join &lsquo;em and so I caved in and allowed the students to continue doing as they had always done.</p>\n<h3>Demoralised and confused</h3>\n<p>I cannot begin to describe how demoralised I felt watching these healthy, bright young Thai children with so much potential and ability simply perform the same tasks, never thinking, never considering, not using their knowledge or even entering into discussions with their classmates.</p>\n<p>I had come to Thailand hoping to help Thai students begin to understand and master my complex and confusing language, to try to make a difference, to assist them in ultimately improving their lives and all I saw was a bunch of robotic kids just transcribing English words into their notebooks and not even knowing what the sentences meant, let alone being able to use them when they spoke or wrote. It was a particularly tough time for me.</p>\n<p>In one of my other classes I had a boy whose father was from Switzerland. This student communicated extremely well in English and I developed a very good bond with him and discovered so much information from him, much more than if I had relied on any of my Thai colleagues.</p>\n<p>In his class he would complete his work almost instantly (not that he even needed to do any) while his good buddy sat next to him staring into space. When the exercises were completed the notebook was handed to his buddy and he then copied all of the answers into his. I asked my student if he thought his friend was learning anything by just copying the answers from him and his frank reply was, \"Of course not.\" My next question to him was, \"Well then, why do you do it?\" He replied that he had no choice in the matter because he was his friend.</p>\n<h3>Part of the culture</h3>\n<p>Just as we would unquestioningly lend one of our friends money for their lunch, he was compelled to do the same thing with regards to schoolwork. \"So it\'s all about respect for your friend, then?\" I asked. \"Yes, that\'s right. I respect him and I must help him\", he said. I told him that in my country if my friend truly respected me then he would never even think about copying my work. \"Yes, my Dad told me about that\", he said. \"It doesn\'t work like that here.\" I definitely learn more about Thailand from my students than from just about anywhere else.</p>\n<p>This different approach to respect helped to explain to me why students allowed other students to copy from them but it\'s something I can never accept, even though I have tried to do so many times. I cannot believe that a country would place respect above learning and I cannot believe that educational authorities are happy knowing that even though the students who they have been entrusted to educate are not learning very much at least they are being respectful to each other. That\'s something I will never get my head around.</p>\n<p>As recently as this morning I saw the usual sight of students at my current school sitting outside my English Department office busily copying words from someone else\'s notebooks into theirs. Thai teachers walk past them every morning and say nothing.</p>\n<p>It would appear that the attitude is not one of, \"Oh no, those lazy students are copying their homework answers again!\' but, \"How lovely to see students offering their answers to their friends as a sign of respect. What a wonderful world this is!\" I know this is quite a cynical view by yours truly but it helps me to deal with this incredible phenomenon.</p>\n<h3><strong>What are the answers?</strong></h3>\n<p>I cannot do anything about the amount of copying done in schools and universities in Thailand. I cannot speak to any Thai person in authority anywhere and plead with them to do something about it because as an outsider it is not my place to do so.</p>\n<p>What I can do, however, is gently guide my students towards the right thing to do, not by constantly criticising the Thai education system in front of them but by asking them if they believe they will actually learn anything by copying. I ask my students why they come to school and eventually they answer \"to learn\". In fact the Thai word for school is literally \"a place to learn\".</p>\n<p>If I can appeal to my students to  consider how they can learn and whether copying should be a part of that (without mentioning which education system is better than the other) I find I can go a long way towards getting my students to gradually start thinking for themselves instead of the usual practice of looking around the room to see who has the answer ready to copy.</p>\n<p>It\'s not much but for the sake of my stress levels and to obtain any sense of worth or satisfaction it\'s the best I can do.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Tony Mitchell</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2013-11-20 03:09:12',1,'2013-11-20 03:09:12','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15590,20,'Learn all your students\' names?','learn-all-your-students-names','Surely you can\'t be serious.','It\'s never been my intention to become best friends with any of my students but I truly believe that a good relationship and strong rapport with students is absolutely vital in order to begin being an effective teacher.

Just last week I was &lsquo;caught\' by a fellow-teacher as I was in this very process and he asked me, \"Is all that really worth it?\" My reply, which has now become a standard one, is, \"I can\'t afford not to do it.\"</p>\n<h3>Bad school memories</h3>\n<p>When I was a schoolboy many years ago I had a social studies teacher called Mr Osborne (who we affectionately called \"Chatsworth\") who taught me for two consecutive years. He never knew my name, or if he did, he never once called me by it. If he wanted me to answer a question he would point to me and say, \"You\".</p>\n<p>If I voluntarily answered a question (which was very rare) he would look at me and say, \"Yes?\" If I walked past him during the course of a day I would courteously look at him and say, \"Sir\". He would just nod his head and keep walking.</p>\n<p>It wouldn\'t be true to say that I hated Mr Osborne but I definitely didn\'t like him. None of his students liked him. I remember being interested in the content of his social studies classes but I did not look forward to attending his lessons. I felt uncomfortable being in the same room as him and I would have much preferred studying something else if given the chance. All of this was simply because I had a teacher who could not be bothered to even know who I was.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never forgotten Mr Osborne and how he made me feel: worthless, insignificant, nothing. I had other teachers, of course, and I did not like some of their subjects (such as mathematics) but, while not showing a great interest in me as a person, these teachers at least made me feel welcome as an important member of their class by knowing who I was.</p>\n<p>This simple fact made me look forward to their classes, even if it was the last one on a Friday afternoon. Some teachers knew my brothers whom they had taught before me and mentioned that, again having a positive effect on me.</p>\n<h3>Why I wanted to learn names</h3>\n<p>When I was learning how to become a TEFL teacher I was advised to never point to a student, instead using an open-handed gesture. I readily understood the reason behind this and made a note to never forget it. Thanks to Mr Osborne I also made a note to make sure I remembered the names of my students, which I thought at the time was a good idea.</p>\n<p>I was not content to have a list of names of the students in my classes written in English that matched up with their number in the class so that I could refer to it whenever I needed to speak to them or to give them marks.</p>\n<p>I wanted to be able to say hello to my students whenever they said hello to me and call them by their name. I wanted them to know that I had made the effort to remember their name and to make them feel that I took my job seriously enough to do this and that I was not simply a farang just passing through.</p>\n<h3>Build rapport and good relationships</h3>\n<p>It\'s never been my intention to become best friends with any of my students but I truly believe that a good relationship and strong rapport with students is absolutely vital in order to begin being an effective teacher. If I ever expect to receive the respect of my students (which is all the time) then the obvious thing for me to do is give respect to them as early as possible. You have to give it so you can earn it and knowing the names of my students is an important first step.</p>\n<p>I began with the aforementioned list of names that I initially used as a reference in my classes, to take attendance and to use whenever I spoke to a student. I had hoped that this would assist me to memorise all their names but as I was only seeing my students once per week it was next to impossible matching the names to the faces each time I saw them. It was when I began taking photographs of my students\' faces that I was able to make huge strides towards finally knowing them all by sight.</p>\n<h3>Photographic evidence</h3>\n<p>After my teaching stint in the Middle East I came back to Thailand with many possessions including a fancy SLR digital camera (although any digital camera could obviously be used). I devoted a lesson to taking pictures of every student (which only one has ever refused to have taken, by the way), eliciting as much information as I can from them about cameras and &lsquo;digital\' and asking them to think why a foreign English teacher is taking photographs when he should be teaching English.</p>\n<p>Later, I upload the photos to my computer, organise them into classes and I\'m even able to write the students\' names in Thai on their pictures. Then in my own time I go over each picture again and again as if they were flashcards. I can do this anywhere and at anytime and within a few minutes I have remembered most of their names. Only their nicknames, of course! I try to pick out a feature of those students whose names I struggle to remember and use that to help me, too (I won\'t go into details but it\'s usually something prominent or unusual).</p>\n<p>The effect of knowing the names of my students is worth ten times the effort I make to do so. The students show surprise and then real delight when they enter our classroom and I say hello to them by their name before they say it to me.</p>\n<p>The other tremendous benefit is the control it gives me in class. To call out a student\'s name to get their attention and then ask them to stop talking or to turn around is infinitely more effective than calling out, \"Excuse me. Excuse me! No, not you, yes you! Can you stop talking, please?\"</p>\n<p>Wherever I go in the school I can recognise my students and say hello and ask them how they are (always encouraging them not to recite, \"Fine thank you, and you?\") and maybe ask how their weekend was, sparking a conversation. Again, it\'s amazing how a conversation will begin after I refer to a student by their name as normally they are very reluctant to do so.</p>\n<p>I\'m now halfway through my third week at a new school and I\'m still in the process of learning my students\' names but I have the names of two English Program classes completed and need to finish off \"only\" about 600 Muttayom 6 students before I\'m done.</p>\n<p>At the end of February I won\'t be teaching any of the M.6 students again so is it worth the effort for me to spend time learning all their names? If I want to create a good rapport with my students, show them that I care about them and be able to grade them accurately and fairly, as well as being able to effectively control my classroom, \"I can\'t afford not to.\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Tony Mitchell</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2013-11-21 22:28:00',1,'2013-11-21 22:28:00','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15596,82,'Pack your suitcase!','pack-your-suitcase','The must-haves, the worth considering, and what to leave behind','Now that I have settled into my teaching job in Thailand, I can look back on the things I should have brought with me and the things I didn\'t need to bother with.','<h3><strong>Clothing - less really is more</strong></h3>\n<p><strong>Bring professional clothes if you will need them</strong></p>\n<p>If you will be working as a teacher, women should make sure they have several sleeved blouses and men should have collared shirts. Occasionally, schools have a dress code that requires teachers to wear a particular color on a particular day so try to diversify. Women would be better off bringing skirts that go below the knees vs pants as many schools require a skirt and men should bring full length pants and ties.</p>\n<p>A friend told me this before I arrived: \'imagine you are living in America\'s 1950\'s era\' and you\'ll make the right fashion choice. If the dress code is more relaxed, it is much easier to find more modern styles in markets at a low price. Worst case scenario is that you have to pay mall prices for a dress shirt in a pinch. Most larger cities have used clothing markets too, so if you have time to get acquainted with an area before you start work, this can be a nice option.</p>\n<p><strong>Cover up!</strong></p>\n<p>As an American, I would say we tend to handle heat by stripping down to as little as possible, but if you look at some of the clothing choices in the hottest climates, covering up is a better option for staying cool and protecting your skin from the sun and mosquitoes. While plenty of people wear tank tops and sundresses in the bigger cities (and having a few would be beneficial), it is best to bring more clothing that has a minimum of short sleeves. As a foreigner, most Thais will not be too moved by more revealing outfits, but it is not likely to help you in any respect, from comfort to assimilation.</p>\n<p><strong>Think cotton</strong></p>\n<p>With regards to fabric, think lightweight cotton above all else. Linen is alright and denim is surprisingly abundant here, but synthetics make you sweat and they\'re overly abundant here. Having a single cool-dry style shirt might be nice for days where there\'s potential to get wet or for exercise (you know yourself and how much you exercise), but beyond that, cotton is king.</p>\n<p><strong>Your size</strong></p>\n<p>Thais are generally smaller, both slim and slight in stature, so those of us who are not both of those things will have trouble finding inexpensive things here. Other features, like ladies with curves or men with broad shoulders will also have a harder time finding clothing. That being said, you can find almost anything for a price and with some persistence, so don\'t feel that you have to pack for every possible scenario.</p>\n<h3>Length of stay and location</h3>\n<p><strong>Pack light and smart</strong></p>\n<p>It may seem a bit counter intuitive, but I would suggest that most travelers who will be in Thailand for two or more weeks should pack roughly the same amount, with consideration for what they are doing. Finding the perfect shirt or skirt may take 10 outings but markets are everywhere, so if you have time (and you do not hate shopping), save some space for your new finds.</p>\n<p>Think about what you would need over two week\'s time doing whatever you plan to do and that should get you going while leaving some space to acquire things here. Laundry facilities are abundant and inexpensive and, despite the heat, air conditioning is easy to find. The country also receives a fair amount of rain (for short periods) throughout the year, so overhangs and shaded walkways abound and most folks will not sweat through their clothes as easily as one would anticipate (you do adjust and it helps if you try sleeping with minimal air conditioning or just a fan).</p>\n<p><strong>Big cities abound with choices but consider packing more for rural areas</strong></p>\n<p>Location will have an impact of how easily you will find clothing. In a city like Bangkok, malls are abundant and have more selection than most western malls (however, prices are also comparable), but in the sticks, you will be looking at less size and style selection.</p>\n<p><strong>Consider what you can spend</strong></p>\n<p>Packing lighter is always to your advantage for getting around, but if you\'re traveling on a budget, it may be better to look at thrift shops or shop sales at home (especially if the factors mentioned above about size/location apply). The flip side of the coin could very well be that you become stuck devoting much of your free time searching for something here in Thailand and then have no negotiating power because you desperately need it.</p>\n<p>That said, shopping is an adventure here, so that may not be unappealing to everyone. I arrived under the impression that prices were drastically less, but the big catch is that low prices apply to factory defects, imitators and poor quality clothing. This clothing generally sells for $3-10 USD and often does not have tags that denote the size, which becomes difficult at a street market where \'changing rooms\' do not exist.</p>\n<p><strong>Toiletries - What is worth hauling across the world?</strong></p>\n<p>It should go without saying that time is a huge factor here in that short trips should logically include most everything you would want on any other short trip. Go light on the makeup unless it is waterproof and you cannot do without, but otherwise, the basics will do.</p>\n<h3>For the longer hauls....</h3>\n<p><strong>What to Bring:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Deodorant</strong></p>\n<p>I read that deodorant in Thailand contains bleaching agents because light skin is very desirable but I was left thinking that I just needed to be sure I did not choose that kind. I will clarify here that 99% of deodorant here has acids and bleaching agents that are terrible for your skin so try to bring your own. They also carry very few \'stick\' style deodorants and the one brand commonly found is $3 USD for a travel sized stick. Moral of the story, try to bring your preferred deodorant if at all possible, but you can find alternatives for a price.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunscreen</strong></p>\n<p>Despite the value in light skin, sunscreen is difficult to find. &lsquo;Boots\' products are abundant here so you can find $20 USD natural sunscreen or a small $10 USD Banana Boat tube but that is about all. This just means you should consider if you burn easily or are sensitive to certain chemicals in topical products because most products have limited English ingredient lists unless they are imports (and even then the sticker is usually covered by another sticker written in Thai).</p>\n<p><strong>What to consider bringing</strong></p>\n<p>Medications you frequently use.&nbsp;Many prescriptions are available over the counter here for good prices, but if there is something you use on a semi-regular basis, just bring it along in case it is difficult to find something comparable, especially if you need a non-generic version. Any of the big drugs, like lipitor, viagra, valium, Yaz, Yasmin, etc are easy to find.</p>\n<p>One good example of something a bit trickier to find is a digestive aid. Pharmacies are abundant and Pharmacists generally speak English well and can make recommendations for anything else. Don\'t bother with things you are unlikely to need like malarial drugs unless there is only one kind you can take due to an allergy (or you\'re looking to use a prescription plan that discounts it, or you\'re going to nearby jungles... you catch my drift...). When in doubt, it is generally possible to look up pharmacies near your destination via skype (or other international calling options) to make sure they carry what you might need.</p>\n<p><strong>A travel towel</strong></p>\n<p>There are plenty of average towels around, but if you are trying to keep things light, travel towels are great for their compact size and quick drying, especially when you shower twice a day.</p>\n<p><strong>Lotion</strong></p>\n<p>If you are a regular user of lotion, the problems with bleaching agents in deodorant especially apply to lotion, so bring your own. I use straight coconut oil, which is easy to find here.</p>\n<p><strong>Moist towelettes</strong></p>\n<p>You can find these in Thailand, but they\'re no cheaper so it is probably worth starting off with a set to freshen up until you have found your way around and stocked up again.</p>\n<p><strong>Q-tips</strong></p>\n<p>If you are particular about your cu-tips, maybe bring some because the type sold here are not of high quality (then again, they aren\'t going to get stuck in your ear). I mention this because it is a complaint I have heard more than once.</p>\n<p><strong>Anything you prefer to use that is chemical free or all natural</strong></p>\n<p>Those labels do not carry much weight here and it is quite difficult to find organic or chemical free products (with the exception of places notorious for attracting a more environmentally savvy crowd, like Chiang Mai and Pai). If you are sensitive or have a strong desire to protect your body from harsh chemicals, you should bring those products with you.</p>\n<p><strong>Tampons</strong></p>\n<p>They are more difficult to find than pads, so it might be worth starting off with a good supply until you find a place to stock up. I personally recommend looking into a DivaCup if you have not already heard about them.</p>\n<h3>What you don\'t need</h3>\n<p><strong>Bug spray</strong></p>\n<p>You will find this commodity at every convenience store for a cheap price. While I question it\'s effectiveness at times due to the relentless bug bites I find all over my ankles and feet, most of that can be blames on the sweat that washes it off. Pharmacies hold the hardcore DEET products behind the counter but many 7-Elevens sell 20% DEET and Citronella variety bug sprays.</p>\n<p><strong>Hair supplies</strong></p>\n<p>Bring a base supply of hairbands and maybe a travel brush but you will find plenty of that here</p>\n<p><strong>Shampoo/conditioner/body wash</strong></p>\n<p>Fortunately, these products are not bleaching and they carry most of the brands you find elsewhere, so just plan to buy a big bottle when you arrive</p>\n<p><strong>Shaving razor</strong></p>\n<p>Unless you want a 5 blade mammoth with soap attached, you can find this item most anywhere</p>\n<p><strong>Toothbrush and paste</strong></p>\n<p>I am not suggesting you not pack a toothbrush at all but rather suggesting you just pack a travel sized tube of paste and 1 toothbrush because these items are easy to find when it comes time to replace what you have. The only exception would be if you require a special kind of paste. Colgate is common here.</p>\n<h3>Other supplies that will serve you along your journey</h3>\n<p><strong>Camera</strong></p>\n<p>It sort of goes without saying but, to clarify, bring a camera if you have one. If you don\'t you could probably find a good deal at one of the markets here. Ultimately, it depends on your feelings about photographing your adventures, but I recommend a small point and shoot. They might not always be the best photos but you\'ll get a more even spread of your experience because it will be easy to take with you everywhere.</p>\n<p><strong>Computer</strong></p>\n<p>If you have one that is not terribly valuable, it is worth bringing along as internet cafes are starting to become harder to find (Generally, they are marketed as gaming cafes with higher powered computers). The prices are comparable here with the exception of Macs, which are more expensive. and the choices are still good, but they are not always the same models as back home. That being said, having the Thai characters on your keyboard might come in handy while you\'re here and function as a nice reminder when you return home.</p>\n<p><strong>Phone</strong></p>\n<p>If your phone takes a SIM card, it is worth bringing along. Plans are cheaper here and a local SIM card is $50 TB ($2.75 USD). Phones are generally just as expensive here  and certain phones, especially new and highly sought after phones like the iPhone 5, approach $1000 USD. Used phones are abundant and if you\'re looking for something basic, that\'s the way to go, but most everything here is buyer\'s beware; you buy it, you keep it, no refunds (some places will exchange if they have something else equivalent but don\'t count on it, especially if you don\'t speak Thai).</p>\n<p><strong>Books or Tablet</strong></p>\n<p>You can find books in English here, but you will likely pay full list price. Truthfully, for the hours of enjoyment, it is still not expensive, but I found it was worth the weight to bring along specific books because the selection here is not \'Barnes &amp; Noble\'. If you are not a big reader, you are unlikely to become one here, so spare yourself the extra weight. Cities like Chiang Mai do have a pretty great collection of books and Bangkok has a large community of expats that likely share books.<br />Tablets are comparable in price should you plan to buy one here, but if you have one already, you will find tablets that connect to WiFi or 3G immeasurably valuable.</p>\n<p><strong>Good walking shoes</strong></p>\n<p>Most will tend towards skipping the sneakers, so find some comfortable slip-on, more minimalist, shoes to bring along. Shoes here are hit or miss for quality and larger sizes (above 7) can be hard to find, so bring several pairs of your own. Often, shoes are left outside the entrance of residences, so bring something that is easy to take on and off and avoid something flashy (disclaimer: the chances of your shoes being taken are very low).</p>\n<p><strong>Backup storage via flash drive or memory card</strong></p>\n<p>This is easy to find in any city with a mall or bookstore but it can also be one more thing to find when you get here. I suggest having at least one storage device with you.</p>\n<p><strong>Mosquito Net</strong></p>\n<p>If you have one, it is definitely worth bringing (unless you plan to stay in a nice place and run the A/C every day; no judgment). They can be found in pharmacies here for about $10 USD. For the nominal weight it adds, it seems worth packing and avoiding that expense, but don\'t worry about buying one ahead of time unless you won\'t have time to stop at a pharmacy before you head into the jungle.</p>\n<p><strong>Flashlight / Torch</strong></p>\n<p>Unless you have a really nice one, you can pick up a simple one at a convenience store here. I mention it because a headlamp might be handy depending on what you plan to do. It made the list because it is something I forgot and there have been times where I wished I had it, like night rides on the scooter or bicycle. Otherwise, it is something you can easily find here.</p>','','2013-11-22 00:36:02',1,'2013-11-22 00:36:02','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15614,80,'Understanding SEN','understanding-sen','An explanation of what SEN means and involves','Special Educational Needs or SEN - the acronym it goes by - is an interesting part of international education.

The last couple of years, there has been an explosion of understanding around SEN and a race to employ SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Co-coordinators)</p>\n<p>My background in the UK meant I worked very closely with the school SENCO and have a broad understanding of the issues that some young people face and was able to access services for a wide range of needs. I am no expert, nor do I profess to be, however I can recognise basic signs and can offer basic advice.</p>\n<p>I came across a Connor\'s Checklist recently, it had been translated from English to Thai and back again. It had lost some of the questions meaning and omitted some information which renders it useless. The checklist is for ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder) children, the questionnaire is completed by parents and teachers to gauge any pressure points during the day. The questions are all slightly similar to each other to weed out any preconceived notions from either party. The checklist came from a respected hospital in Bangkok but any psychologist or indeed a good SENCO could tell this young person was not ADHD. However how do you test and assess Speech, Language and Communication difficulties in a student who is learning in English but his mother-tongue is Thai?</p>\n<p>To me, his area of need is SPLD (Specific Learning Difficulties), he can understand English, however he can not process simple instructions such as \'tie your shoelaces\' or \'catch the ball and run\'. But I am asking and assessing him in English. How can an international school teacher accommodate a student with SEN in an English speaking environment? Surely the SENCo needs to be able to communicate using the student\'s mother-tongue? SEN should not be confused with EAL (English as Additional Language) requiring different pedagogical approaches and outcomes but more often than not, they are put together side by side.</p>\n<p>My colleagues who are SENCos can enjoy a wealth of job opportunities across the world and with very good pay too.This is because their specialism is much sought after and very few teachers are trained to any depth in this area. A SENCo\'s job is a minefield and particularly difficult in countries such as Thailand where there is still a social stigma and no agencies for support.</p>\n<p>Social stigma and poor parental understanding of SEN is also a significant part of a school\'s obligation, to teach parents whose culture and education may not match those of a westernised international school. It takes tact and skill to deliver news which may be unexpected or unwanted.</p>\n<p>Another colleague whose school has recently employed a SENCo is also finding that apart from writing strategies on paper and sharing them, there is not much impetus from the staff to follow through on recommendations, nor is there the real understanding of such issues. There are some very poor views of children with SEN that probably existed in the UK in 1970s and 80s. Her current role merely ticks the box for the accreditation body visiting her school soon.</p>\n<p>Some international schools ask parents to pay extra if their children are deemed to be SEN, I would hope that parents are savvy enough to ask questions about what the provision is and will be for their child. In the UK, every parent of an SEN child has an Annual Review to discuss targets, areas of improvement and development. There is a specific budget attached to those children with Statements of Need and schools are accountable for its expenditure.</p>\n<p>The UK has moved its language on from SEN to AEN (Additional Educational Needs) to remove the stigma of the word \'special\'. The debate around semantics can continue there but here in Thailand, there is a growing number of students who have a wide range of learning needs who require recognition as well as supportive learning. Teachers need to be trained properly and school leadership must embed the delivery and provision into its ethos.</p>\n<p>SEN provision is at the core of excellent learning for pupils who face barriers and challenges to learning. The teaching and learning that takes place must be specialized and not just tacked on like a new buzz-word or to fill the required empty void of an accreditation box.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-11-22 04:40:12',1,'2013-11-22 04:40:12','2013-11-23 09:09:13'),(15693,79,'The simple life of Sapa','the-simple-life-of-sapa','Exploring Northwest Vietnam','From the moment you catch your first glimpse, your eyes become prisoners to the panorama.

Not only will the drastic cultural differences create a brief short-circuit in your brain, but you may find yourself genuinely concerned at the amount of liquid exiting your pores - the most menial tasks send parades of sweat marching down every crack, crevice, and square-inch of your body.</p>\n<p>Now, don\'t let something measly like a little heat dissuade you from exploring the incessantly scenic lands of Southeast Asia. If you feel that high temperatures will put a damper on your trip, why not try a place that has - better yet, is known for - its four seasons. If you feel elated by that last comment, then Sapa is the place for you.</p>\n<p>Located in Lao Cai Province in the northwestern region of Vietnam, Sapa offers an aesthetically stunning outlet to the wild hustle and bustle of Hanoi. In general, Vietnam will warp any Westerner\'s mind, but particularly, the Sapa landscape mimics that of a Thomas Kinkade painting - emitting tranquility, comfort, and a feeling of unremitting bliss.</p>\n<p>From the moment you catch your first glimpse, your eyes become prisoners to the panorama. With its close proximity to China and the well renowned Himalayas, the main area in Sapa Town allows for the hilly, Hoang Lien Son Mountain Range to reveal itself. A majority of the hotels and guesthouses will provide utterly unreal views of the range, which make for a nice, relaxing evening activity - that is if you don\'t fancy going for a hike.</p>\n<p>Much of the tourism in the area consists of hiking and trekking. Mt. Fansipan - which at 3,143 meters makes it the tallest peak in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, dubbing it \"The Roof of Indochina\" - flaunts its towering frame at passers by, some of whom decide to take on the challenge with a one, two, or three day ascent. Your time frame and hiking ability determine how long your trip to the summit will take. Although easily accessible, it is quite challenging and falls toward the more difficult end of the hiking spectrum. Luckily, for those who deem themselves unfit for Fansipan, the surrounding hill tribes provide for an equally enriching alternative.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/309.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Hill Tribes. Hill Tribes. Hill Tribes. Yes, Sapa is in a country called Vietnam, but a majority of the land is maintained and dwelled upon by ethnic minority tribes. Surprisingly, these tribes do not identify as \"Vietnamese,\" instead, they choose to proudly boast their hill tribe heritage. There are a handful who live in the area, but the main two that you will see selling swag in the Sapa streets are the Hmong and Dao people.</p>\n<p>Without a doubt, you will encounter them in Sapa Town, but it isn\'t until you venture out into the surrounding hills that you will become aware of the raw beauty of the land and the people. With their simplicity and naturalistic states of mind, a majority of these tribes live off the land where they lie. Taking a trip out into the vast, hill-ridden region, you will see wondrous displays of terraced farming, schools, free-range animals, and jaw-dropping natural landscapes - all of which contribute to the tribes\' abilities to remain self-sufficient and live solely off the land. Many tourists even decide to become temporary roommates with the locals and experience this lifestyle firsthand.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/307.jpg\" width=\"225\" /></p>\n<p>While spending time in Sapa, the question isn\'t whether or not to experience a trek and a homestay; the question is how to experience it. Companies will be pulling you in every direction asking you to book with their organization, leaving you in the pickliest of pickles. Going with a local Hmong woman off the street may sound like a good idea at first, but after 5-kilometers of walking, you may have regretted that decision as the phrase, \"You want shopping from me?\" goes way out of style.</p>\n<p>It may also feel wrong to give your money to a company that appears to be barging in on the lives of local people - remember that although it is a tourist attraction and a holiday for you, these tribes are still ordinary humans living their everyday lives. Depending on what you intend to get out of the experience, a company like Sapa O\' Chau may be a beneficial option for you and the surrounding community.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/306.jpg\" width=\"225\" /></p>\n<p>Commenced a few years ago by Shu Tan - a woman from the local Black H\'mong Tribe - Sapa O\' Chau acts as a trekking organization that truly gives back. Shortly after the company was founded a school was built to address the abundance of illiteracy in the hill tribe population. Local people were offered night classes and learned to speak English and Vietnamese, allowing them to take on roles such as tour guides and customer service representatives within the company.</p>\n<p>Now, volunteers from all over the world come to teach at the school that was built to help the less fortunate. The proceeds from Sapa O\' Chau\'s treks goes directly into educating local people. Sapa O\' Chau has worked hard to provide an amazing tourism and cultural experience for travelers, along with a life-changing experience for locals. That\'s a win-win.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/310.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Travelers and backpackers alike set out to explore the vast terrain that is Earth with the hope that they will return home bettered by their experience. Planet Earth is an anomaly in that it is home to a virtually uncountable amount of species - one of which constantly craves newness. From when you are young, exploration is somewhat of a natural occurrence.Once those little legs begin to scamper along the floor, they take you to the vast openness of your backyard.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/303.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Lengthening legs create a more versatile vehicle, leading to more diverse terrain - maybe the woods near your house, then a study abroad session at your university, then, before you know it, you\'re ready to take on the world with an open mind and an over-sized backpack. If you make it to a faraway land one day, don\'t forget about the beauty of simplicity. Witnessing the virtually uncorrupted lives of a culture living naturally is something that will enlighten your view on the ways of the world and undoubtedly remain with you for a lifetime.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/bob_sohigan/302.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-11-24 22:28:26',1,'2013-11-24 22:28:26','2013-11-25 12:12:27'),(15709,20,'We\'ve landed!','weve-landed','I was looking for a job and then I found a job',' I was refused a place at the two major international school recruitment fairs and turned down by every international school I applied to.

The cynics didn\'t feel the need to \"advise\" as such. They were content with predicting our enthusiasm would flat-line in the face of reality. \"I\'d like to read the 6 month follow up\" was one. \"It will be interesting to see how long the honeymoon will last\" tweeted another.</p>\n<p>Well, almost immediately, the gods of good fortune appeared in the shape of a wonderful opportunity to teach children on a paradise island, working for a very kind and supportive employer at a small international school. This was more representative of the positivity we encountered in the form of emails and comments advising me that with a PGCE, I should accept nothing less than a small fortune at one of the prestigious international schools.</p>\n<p>This school, which I shan\'t name, was in a genuine predicament whereby we were needed immediately.  This simply wasn\'t plausible and with a heavy heart, we said no to the right opportunity at the wrong time. Spurred on by this interest and the positivity (and a little by the desire to prove the cynics wrong) I took being pro-active to a different level!</p>\n<p>Jane is happy to be independent but I know she would prefer us to work together for at least our first job, until she finds her feet. She has a degree and is in the process of gaining a CELTA so it would be hard for us to work together at an international school anyway. I was, however, slightly concerned with all of the horror stories I\'ve come across since I began to research. Every other article on Ajarn.com seems to be a criticism of the Thai education system or the lack of a best practice mentality in schools.</p>\n<p>Then one fine morning last week, I received an email from a private Thai EP school that I had applied to way back at the start of my job search, offering me an interview. The only available date was at 8am on a Monday morning via Skype. I didn\'t even own a Skype account! So, I began researching the school and got my tech-savvy sister to set me up with the account and a webcam (in the end the interview was conducted as a voice only call, thank god) in time for the big day.</p>\n<p>The interview went well and I was offered the job within the week. What\'s more, they contacted Jane and advised her that they would consider her for a position at their language centre on the same campus, when they begin their recruitment in January. We couldn\'t believe our luck! We will be earning close to international school pay and benefits, for teaching Thai kids.</p>\n<p>I am aware that these are likely to be affluent Thai kids and that it will be a very different experience to one which we would gain at a government school but I\'m still pleased that I will be surrounded by Thai children in my first teaching post. The Australian Director who interviewed me was upfront and honest about the many pros and cons that await me and I\'m delighted to say that I am as keen, enthusiastic and positive as I ever was!

Omar, Avon, Stringer and the rest of the gang nailed it. Thailand is controlled by a few at the expense of the majority. The majority respond by doing what they can. It applies to all facets of daily life. For foreigners living in Thailand we\'re somewhere on the border of it all. ','<p>So a few quick clarification points <a href=\"/blogs/zach-laan/watch-out-for-the-fuzz/\">from my previous blog</a> before I dive into things: 1) I was reflecting upon my own foolishness as a young twenty something in a light-hearted manner. 2) I realize there\'s gravity to certain things I mentioned (ie. Wearing helmets, police corruption, skin colour etc.), which I will get into momentarily</p>\n<p>Before I begin, a point I probably should have made in my previous article has to do with adaptation. When you get tossed into a new environment you observe and try to fit in. I was tossed into a district 1 hour outside of Udon Thani on the way to Sawang Daeng Din, which was a metropolis by comparison. Essentially, a completely different world from Bangkok, let alone Toronto, Canada, for a 22 year old boy. So there\'s the context.</p>\n<h3>Helmets</h3>\n<p>When I showed up nobody wore helmets in my district. OK that\'s false, but the vast majority didn\'t and people didn\'t care. And this included the local police. Thirteen year olds were riding around popping wheelies without helmets. I saw a drunken man crash into a parked car and mangle himself during Songkran. People laughed it off and kept partying. I was driven drunk on the back of motorcycles when I was much more sober than the driver. However, I was &lsquo;nong\' and they were &lsquo;P\' and it was rural Thailand and end of discussion.</p>\n<p>Now, is not wearing a helmet bad and wrong? Absolutely, I would never dispute that. All I\'m saying is that it happens and I went with the flow. Foolishly. After a little while I corrected myself and started doing the right thing. It was so commonplace I didn\'t really think, just adapted. And that was the scariest part in retrospect, how easy and normal it all became to me. That\'s how immersed I was. And my initiation was much faster than most due to my homestay family, which made it 24/7 with the language and culture.</p>\n<p>Maybe a more pertinent question for it all is why? Well, that P vs. Nong situation I mentioned above is all culture. I\'ve been in scenarios where the eldest has simply vetoed everyone and it wasn\'t necessarily the best decision .And P vs. Nong permeates basically every decision making process in Thailand (ie. school budget allocation *cough*). That\'s part of the beauty and at times the maddening frustration of the country. Especially when it comes to potential life and death scenarios such as who is driving home.</p>\n<h3>Police</h3>\n<p>Is there police corruption in Thailand? Yes. Are all Thai cops corrupt? No. Is it the majority? I don\'t know. Is it a select few? I don\'t know. Is it worse in cities or towns? I don\'t know. Those are the best answers I can give.</p>\n<p>I was frisked and searched at random by officers doing their job after I got off a bus coming back from the south. I\'ve been pulled over and let off the hook without paying anything. I\'ve been pulled over and had to pay something. And I\'ve heard countless stories from other Westerners covering all points on that spectrum, some more extreme than others. That\'s the reality I experienced.</p>\n<p>Police corruption in Thailand to me is grey. On one hand, I don\'t mind it. On the other hand, I understand it\'s wrong. Maybe Omar Little from the Wire can help me out a bit here: \"All in the game homie.\"</p>\n<p>Cop salaries haven\'t gone up in decades and this is a big reason for that \"why\" question. You gotta survive. I had to pay a little extra once to a cop. He could\'ve booked me for not having an international license. I paid for a nice meal for the guy with his family at MBK. So be it. He didn\'t ask for my rent. It was within reason. He took what I would have paid to get my license at the office. This is why some foreigners probably never bother going to get it done. Have you ever sat around for a day waiting on a work permit? I\'d rather have a two second hand off and be on my way. So do others maybe. It\'s not right. OK. But it works. Kinda sorta. Kinda sorta like Thailand as a whole. Would raising salaries change it? Maybe. Maybe not.</p>\n<p>And honestly, better the struggling cop gets it than his boss. High-ranking people in Thailand spend their time bleeding poor people dry for the most part. But that\'s a whole other can of worms for another time.</p>\n<h3>White Skin</h3>\n<p>If you\'re white in Thailand you\'re at an advantage. Period. Matter of fact, you\'re at an advantage in the world, especially if you\'re a man. You can disagree, but that\'s the way I see it. Also, <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4f9zR5yzY\">so does Louis CK on YouTube</a>:</p>\n<p>Being a young white male in Canada has its perks. In Thailand?!?! Awesome. And you can\'t tell me any different because I was there in person from age 22-28 and personally reaped the benefits. I have friends of colour who asked me about Thailand and I shuddered when I thought about them coming out to a place like Nakon Somewheres to visit me.</p>\n<p>Bangkok, the south or Chiang Mai? No sweat, they love tourists (for their money mainly). Outside of that track? Not so fun at times. A primary school next door to me ran a black South African girl out a town for her skin colour. Do you know what \"buk dum\" means? Have you seen a commercial for a skin product? White people win in Thailand. And if you\'re young? Double bonus. And if you\'re old? Not so lucky, but still not so bad. This is the general reality. Not all Thais view things like this, but a heck of a lot still do.</p>\n<p>What\'s the point of all this? Not wearing a helmet or shaking off the cops is easier if you\'re white and know the culture (Read: What you can get away with!!). No ifs ands or buts about it. Not saying it\'s right, just the reality.</p>\n<h3>Concluding Remarks</h3>\n<p>\"All in the game\" is a great statement for Thailand. Omar, Avon, Stringer and the rest of the gang nailed it. Thailand is controlled by a few at the expense of the majority. The majority respond by doing what they can. It applies to all facets of daily life. For foreigners living in Thailand we\'re somewhere on the border of it all. Sometimes we get the good side, other times the ugly side. All in the game. Is it right or wrong? Should it be changed? Who really benefits? Does it work? I don\'t know. But I accepted it and adapted to my surroundings. Time to fade to grey.</p>\n<h3>Last note</h3>\n<p>Next time I\'ll really try to talk about teaching and education and what not, pinky swear promise.</p>\n<p>I love Thailand. Nowhere is perfect.</p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:teacher.zach.klw@gmail.com\">Please feel free to drop me a line any time</a>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-11-26 03:35:30',1,'2013-11-26 03:35:30','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15754,59,'On having an English room','on-having-an-english-room','The advantage of having your own classroom space','I consider my classroom to be an extension of my house.

It\'s so different from the days of old when I didn\'t have a room and I had to bear the heat and noise of the library or the clinic or other \'makeshift classrooms\'.','<p>I started teaching with the Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project in 2006. As a floating teacher for 2 years, I never ever had a room of my own. I had no place to rest, to work on my lesson plans or to make visual aids. As a newcomer to the school, I was stationed in the school library. Every time I taught, I had to go up and down three flights of stairs from Monday to Friday, 20 hours a week, carrying   my lap top, dual speakers, teaching materials and other paraphernalia. When I was eventually given my own room, &nbsp;I was no longer hopping from one room to another to teach. Instead, students   came to my room to study with me.</p>\n<p>When I transferred to another school, I was like a squatter again.  Due to lack of rooms, I was assigned the museum room with all manner of artifacts and implements of antiquity that never uttered a word to break the silence. The museum room was rather small and I just couldn\'t hold classes there. When the school director improved the museum room,   I was then told   to teach in the library. For a while it was okay but when the library was converted to a multi-media room, I was moved again - this time to the school clinic.</p>\n<p>After years of waiting and wanting, I was finally given a room which was a vast improvement on the previous ones.  The room was more spacious but   only half of it was allocated to me. In gratitude, I came up with a  room truly  conducive room to learning. I started designing, structuring, beautifying,  fixing the things around, putting up  bulletin boards and displays,  and utilizing every corner of the room as show areas for teaching materials and students\' works.</p>\n<p>Using all my resources, including recycled materials, a little imagination, and creativity, I made it attractive to entice students to hang around before and after classes, talk to me and practice their English, help change the date of the date board, erase the writings on the board, help me clean the room, empty the trash can, read the newly posted bulletin board, look at my visual displays, play games, do puzzles and paint.</p>\n<p>It was an ideal room. It had a tiled floor, two electric wall-fans and two windows. The space was comfortable enough for about 15 students. Having no chairs and tables, my students  were somehow at ease learning just like in a regular classroom. The only difference was that they sat on the floor.</p>\n<p>Students had learned to appreciate the beauty in my room. On Mother\'s Day, Father\'s Day, Valentine\'s Day, Christmas, or Children\'s Day, students would get some ideas from the decorations they could see around them. Impressed by what I did with my room, the school director declared it an English speaking zone. It was very useful because it made the class quieter and the students were conscious of what to say and they   practiced their English.  To help them a little bit, I displayed a lot of basic expressions around the room.</p>\n<p>I consider my classroom to be an extension of my house.  After lunch, I can lock the door and take a little nap.  Or I can watch my favorite movies and news broadcasts from The Philippiness.

You can do a lot of good things during your free time if you have a room of your own.  Students can hang around while waiting for the flag ceremony or whiling away their time after lunch. Otherwise   you can showcase students\' work, structure bulletin boards, talk to your students and provide a wholesome English environment. Don\'t put it off. Do it the next time you report for work.</p>','','2013-11-27 01:10:48',1,'2013-11-27 01:10:48','2013-11-27 15:03:49'),(15755,20,'Teachers playing games in class','teachers-playing-games-in-class','Is it a case of too much monkeying around?','Games can reinforce what has been taught earlier in a lesson and can be used as a filler or as a reward for good work. But to expect foreign English teachers to spend the majority of their time entertaining students, especially adults, is, to me, just not right.','<p>In 2006 I applied for a job in Phuket as a full-time English teacher of the staff of a very well-known hotel. I prepared diligently for my demonstration lesson (it was about plurals, if I remember correctly) and it went as smooth as silk. I had a great rapport with the adult students who attended and they really responded well to everything. The manager in charge of training was a fellow-Australian and as we walked back to his office after the conclusion of the lesson I was expecting him to simply say, \"When can you start?\"</p>\n<h3>No games?</h3>\n<p>We sat back down at his desk and he began by telling me how great my lesson had been and how it was exactly the kind of lesson he thought a teacher of my experience would have given (I had taught at a few other hotels before). \"But why,\" he asked, \"were there no games?\"</p>\n<p>I distinctly remember looking at his face for any signs that he was joking but unfortunately I saw none. I replied that I did not think that it was appropriate to play games with adults in a hotel environment and that it was better to spend time concentrating on improving their English skills instead. \"Oh, but Thai people love playing games!\" was his reply. He then gave me a lecture on all the ways that I could have made my lesson more fun by playing games with the adults.</p>\n<p>I had taught adults before in the language centre that I worked at but had never played games with them, nor had I felt it necessary to do so. And none of my students had ever complained to anyone that my lessons were dull.</p>\n<h3>A teacher, not a clown</h3>\n<p>By this stage I wanted to leave as quickly as possible and considered for the first time in my life to walk out of an interview. Instead, I sat there poker-faced until the manager had quite finished and waited for the mandatory handshake and the \"I\'ll be in touch\" before leaving. I never heard from him again.</p>\n<p>I remember riding back to my apartment wondering if there was something wrong with me but I was determined not to change my principles just because I came up against a bloke who had a different attitude towards Thai learners than I did. I firmly believed then (and still do now) that games definitely have their place in an English language classroom but only under specific conditions and for certain students.</p>\n<p>Simply because we are English teachers does not, I believe, mean that we immediately become entertainers or clowns when we work in Thailand merely because Thai language learners \"love playing games\". A more cynical argument could be that Thai students also love sleeping in class, so should we get them all to do that as well?</p>\n<p>Are science and maths teachers expected to play games when they teach? Why is it so necessary for English teachers to do so? Is it simply because we are able to and English classes lend themselves to playing games or because we are thought of as somehow less qualified to teach compared to our maths and science counterparts?</p>\n<h3>A time and a place</h3>\n<p>I do play games in my Muttayom classes but only under certain circumstances. I would much rather devote precious time in class teaching or showing students something new that they don\'t know or are not in a position to wonder about, such as why there is British English and American English or why there are so many French words in the English language.</p>\n<p>To me, playing games just because Thai people are fun loving (and there\'s nothing wrong with that) is simply accepting the Thai way of teaching, which seems to be to prevent the students from thinking at all costs and to extinguish any curiosity in the process. But, as I said, I do sometimes play games.</p>\n<p>I have had success with \"20 questions\" (because it forces the students to ask questions, for one thing) and it is useful for reinforcing &lsquo;do/does\' and &lsquo;is\'  questions, which students very rarely think about. It\'s also interesting to find a student who knows someone famous other than Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs!</p>\n<p>I also play \"Hangman\" using my laptop with the projector, which has animations and sound. I do not allow the students to call out letters but put the letter in a sentence, such as \"D as in Food\", where they must use correct pronunciation or I pretend not to understand them. These are two examples.</p>\n<p>I don\'t have a problem playing games in class but I draw the line at using them in order to keep the students happy and smiling and awake. If I have already earned their respect they should be alert and wanting to learn and I like to think that I can do this in an interesting way without having to treat them like little children (which already happens in so many of their other classes) by playing games.</p>\n<p>Games can reinforce what has been taught earlier in a lesson and can be used as a filler or as a reward for good work. But to expect foreign English teachers to spend the majority of their time entertaining students, especially adults, is, to me, just not right.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Tony Mitchell</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/saying_no.jpg','2013-11-27 02:16:19',1,'2013-11-27 02:16:19','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(15793,75,'Thailand teaching stuff - November 2013','thailand-teaching-stuff-november-2013','More links of interest to teachers in Thailand','I think all bloggers have a duty to make sure that their writing is as factually correct as possible.

Before the very first keystroke, a blogger needs to ask themselves a serious question - am I knowledgeable enough about this topic and am I communicating the correct information? The reason I say this is because I\'ve read an awful lot of information recently on the topic of \'teaching English in Thailand\' and much of it has been wrong. Bloggers should be aware that readers very often base their decisions - life-changing decisions at that - on what they read on the internet.</p>\n<p>I coud have chosen any of a dozen blogs to make my point, but here\'s one that caught my eye - <a href=\"http://www.gooverseas.com/blog/teaching-english-in-thailand-tips?utm_content=buffer8633a&amp;utm_source=buffer&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=Buffer\">7 insider tips for teaching English in Thailand</a>. Insider tip number one goes something like this - \"In Thailand, you\'re qualified to teach English if you\'re a native speaker and have a degree from a four-year university plus a TEFL certificate\"</p>\n<p>That sentence is incorrect on at least three counts. Truth is that many non-native English speakers are qualified to teach English. I think the blogger possibly means that native English speakers are more desirable, but that isn\'t what the blog says or infers. Secondly, it doesn\'t matter how long it took you to get your degree as long as you\'ve got one, and thirdly, a TEFL certificate is most definitely NOT a requirement to teach legally in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The blog continues with \"a master\'s degree is compulsory to teach English at the university level\". Sadly, not true again. I know of many, many teachers who teach or have taught at university level in Thailand without a master\'s degree in education.</p>\n<p>And finally the blog states \"teaching in Thailand without a degree isn\'t really possible\". OK, getting a job without a degree is tough, but to say it\'s impossible is just plain wrong.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to pull the rest of the blog apart because I\'m sure you get my point. I\'m also sure that the writer meant well when she sat down to furnish us with 7 insider tips.

In fact many say that without a motorcycle, you\'re almost stranded, especially if the public transportation is a bit hit and miss. The Thai Canuk is a Canadian gentleman who taught in China for a number of years but decided to retire to Chiang Mai. He\'s put together <a href=\"http://www.thaicanuck.com/surviving-on-a-scooter-in-thailand/\">a nice blog on riding a motorcycle safely</a> and staying alive in The Land of Smiles.</p>\n<p>You can always rely on Chris and Angela, our friends up in the north of Thailand, to produce quality blogs and their \'Tieland to Thailand\' blog site is going from strength to strength. If you\'re currently stuggling with the Thai language (and I\'ll put my hand up to that one) then Angela <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/teach-yourself-thai/\">offers some ideas for Thai self study</a> based on materials she\'s been using.</p>\n<p>And if you\'ve ever thought of bringing a cat to Thailand - or any pet for that matter - well, let\'s just say Chris and Angela have been through the whole damn process. They know exactly what\'s involved <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/shipping-a-cat-to-thailand/\">and they\'ve put together a great blog</a> to hopefully take the stress out of the situation for those who intend to move to Thailand and can\'t bear the thought of leaving the moggy behind.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Most of last month\'s links were to blogs written by teachers in Chiang Mai. I\'m wondering - is that where all the interesting and creative bloggers go or do the peeps up there just have more free time on their hands? Anyway, we\'re very grateful for all your internet contributions. One of my favorite blogs of the month - and you\'ll love this one - also comes out of Chiang Mai. It\'s basically a blog about <a href=\"http://whereverthewindtakesme.com/2013/11/20/22-great-places-to-eat-and-drink-coffee-in-chiang-mai-thailand/\">22 of the best places to eat and drink coffee in the city</a> - but with a twist. Blogger Ellen is rating the 22 eateries by giving points out of five, and she\'s bringing Mum along too (to give her own ratings) - and we all know how fussy Moms can be. Furthermore, if you think that blog was entertaining, you should read Ellen\'s <a href=\"http://whereverthewindtakesme.com/2013/11/06/17-fun-things-to-do-in-chiang-mai/\">17 fun things to do in Chiang Mai</a> - and yes, Mom went along for the ride as well.</p>\n<p>I love all these helpful blogs but I like to throw in an angry and opinionated piece from time to time. Here\'s one I dug up from June 2012 and written by Matt Long. Matt\'s got a bee in his bonnet about the infamous backpacker enclave Khao San Road. He\'s titled his blog - <a href=\"http://landlopers.com/2012/06/19/khao-san-road-bangkok/\">Why I Hate Khao San Road</a> - well what else could the title possibly be?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>OK, back to the teaching in Thailand and one thing you\'d probably be wise not to do is to choose Thailand as a TEFL destination if you have student debts to pay off. This is just one of the <a href=\"http://www.reachtoteachrecruiting.com/blog/5-things-you-shouldnt-expect-while-youre-teaching-in-thailand/\">\"five things you shouldn\'t expect from teaching in Thailand\"</a> - an interesting blog written by Andrea Emerson, a Bangkok-based teacher.</p>\n<p>The Travel Fish blog site is always worth keeping an eye on for their Thailand features and this month they ran an informative visa article aimed at teachers and expats down Phuket way. <a href=\"http://www.travelfish.org/blogs/thailand/2013/11/12/extending-your-visa-in-phuket/?utm_content=buffer0caaf&amp;utm_source=buffer&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=Buffer\">How can you go about renewing a visa on or around the island?</a> Well worth a look if your visa expiry date is looming.</p>\n<p>Let\'s just go a little further afield - to China to be exact - and a hilariously funny blog from the observant pen of Victor Eekhof. I\'m not sure whether Victor is a new arrival in China but he\'s put together a great piece on culture shock in China <a href=\"http://www.victorstravels.com/travel-stories/chinese-first-culture-shock-part-1/\">and the perils of booking a train ticket</a>. It sounds like an absolute nightmare. Thanks for the laughs though Vic.</p>\n<p>If you\'re not following Paul Garrigan\'s blogs on his own website, then oh boy, are you missing out. Paul has dabbled in the teaching profession in the past, found out it wasn\'t really for him and now makes his living as a freelance writer. I love reading Paul\'s stuff and just to give you a flavour, here\'s a blog he wrote this month on <a href=\"http://paulgarrigan.com/how-to-turn-your-dreams-of-moving-to-thailand-into-a-reality/\">how to turn your dreams of moving to Thailand into a reality</a>.</p>\n<p>One guy who most definitely teaches English in Thailand - and thoroughly enjoys it - is Kyle Hines. In his <a href=\"http://kylehines.com/2013/11/12/teaching-english-in-thailand/\">\'Teaching English in Thailand\'</a> blog this month, Kyle looks at the pros and cons of working at temple schools, working for agencies and chalking the boards at language institutes.</p>\n<p>OK&lt; that\'s all folks.

If the answer is the school will take care of visas, confirm for who. Some schools only pay for the teachers - and they expect you to go to immigration and sift through the bureaucracy and pay for the privilege with no help from school admin. Some schools will pay for a spouse but not a dependent and vice versa. If you have to pay for your own visas, you might want to question why you are paying to work for the school. Shouldn\'t it be the other way round?</p>\n<p><strong>Health:</strong></p>\n<p>Similar to visas, a good healthcare package should include the family and be a well rounded package covering accident and emergency as well as check-ups. Always ask the school to add your spouse or dependent if they aren\'t covered. Medical expenses are exorbitant and it goes without saying they should be the least of your worries when a loved one is poorly.</p>\n<p><strong>Website:</strong></p>\n<p>Make sure the website is full of useful information and not just pretty pictures and promises of up-coming events or plans. The website should have regular updates from the HT about recent events. Look for the messages for unusual events such as a forced closure - the wording can be a good indicator of sentiment towards staff. The website should have live links to different aspects of the school but remember it is another \'sales\' technique to attract students and staff.</p>\n<p><strong>School Places:</strong></p>\n<p>What does \'free\' actually mean? There are hidden costs in some school\'s \'free\' offer. Some schools charge a fee for school dinners or \'material costs\' which if, you have older children sitting their IGCSEs, you will have to pay for exam entry plus the cost of text books (which presumably are re-used). You may also have a child who requires AEN, so worth checking these provisions as an indicator of your future school.</p>\n<p><strong>Online Forums: </strong></p>\n<p>Can often be a difficult and inaccurate place to glean information from. Some forums are designed so that teachers can say what they feel about individual schools but caution is always advised as the background and circumstances may not be included in the \'truthful\' account of a school. Others refuse to allow naming for legal reasons but with some tweaking to wording and through private messages, you might find them useful.</p>\n<p><strong>Staffing:</strong></p>\n<p>A good international school should include a balanced contingent of staff both female and male and in leadership roles. They should be from a variety of international backgrounds, with perhaps more from the country of curriculum origin. There is no way to gauge salaries but again researching forums and websites comparing costs of living are very helpful.</p>\n<p><strong>Accreditation and Add-ons:</strong></p>\n<p>Look for the accreditation and dates obtained but do not rely on an accreditation to be a testament to a school\'s morale level. High turnover and frequent advertising of jobs is usually an indicator that all may not be well underneath the veneer. You should always ask what duties, if any are required aside from your teaching commitments. Some schools pay overtime for ECA (extra curricular activities) and some expect you to do more than one per week including staffing for Breakfast and Homework Clubs.</p>\n<p><strong>Support and Good Practice:</strong></p>\n<p>Mentoring and support for new overseas arrivals is a must, if the lady from reprographics turns up to greet you at the airport and doesn\'t speak English, you may well be in trouble. Staff Inductions and Inset days will throw light on areas of CPD (Continued Professional Development) and demonstrate the seriousness of the school- always ask about this in your interview, if anything it shows your commitment to improving practice.</p>\n<p>If you are able to visit beforehand, ask to look at places such as libraries and classrooms- check the equipment in rooms, is it in need of a refurb? Or are resources up to date and in good condition?</p>\n<p>International schools are money-making businesses with profits to be made and shareholders to please, however there are some excellent schools with good governance and reputations. My advice is research and ask lots of questions- if the answers are sketchy or you are put off, you might have to rethink your plans. Utilise all social networking and internet search engines and good luck in your search.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-12-04 00:30:09',1,'2013-12-04 00:30:09','2013-12-04 14:02:10'),(15988,71,'Protests - reason to worry?','protests-reason-to-worry','Always keep in mind that good news doesn\'t sell.','Hopefully, political views aside, the tensions can be resolved without much more conflict, and Thailand can stay the peaceful paradise I\'ve come to love.','<p>I\'m not one to get very political; I\'ve found it takes entirely too much effort, and it seems that no matter who is elected or in charge, stupid things are done. My take on the matter is simple: if you\'re crazy enough to want to preside over a bunch of people who are just going to be mad at you for one reason or another for years on end, you\'ve got to be a little unbalanced to start with. What do people expect out of politicians anyway?</p>\n<p>Furthermore, in the event that there are one or two politicians who do have a few ounces of sanity left, we \"the people\" aren\'t going to hear about most good deeds or jobs well done. I was a journalism major, and I know: good news doesn\'t sell. It\'s not that news people want to report only bad news, it\'s just that it seems to be the best way to grab an audience\'s attention.</p>\n<p>These are just my humble opinions.</p>\n<p>In any event, I keep having various family members emailing and Skyping me to see if there\'s any truth to the \"riots\" they keep seeing on CNN and other news channels. From a personal standpoint, I can honestly say that the biggest shocker I\'ve seen is Siam Center and Paragon shopping malls closed this past Sunday. Now, there\'s something you don\'t see every day.</p>\n<p>Yes, I have certainly heard the news of the pro-and-anti-government clashes over the last few weeks. I\'ve also heard about some of the tragedies amounting from a few of these incidents. Because I was not here during the fiascos of 2010, I can\'t say whether or not the protests thus far are approaching \"out of control,\" but just based on the atmosphere I\'ve encountered around the city in the past weeks, I\'m honestly not personally concerned.</p>\n<p>The BBC has reported that the political instability of the moment has caused 35 countries to issue travel advisories against visiting the Kingdom, and that the economy (especially tourism) has started to see a slight decline in recent weeks. I\'ve also noticed a good number of the older students at my school absent over the last few days related to the protests, at least according to other students I\'ve asked. However, that being said, it appears that the active protesting zones are limited to a few locations in Bangkok, and have yet to majorly affect me or any of the foreign teachers I know.</p>\n<p>I just hope it stays that way.

Not Xmas, but New Year. New Year for any brings about hopes of a new start, new projects and possible new plans taking shape. In 2015 this will be especially true for the countries of ASEAN with advent of the AEC.</p>\n<p>If all things go to plan (and that of course is no guarantee) then in 2015 the countries of ASEAN (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos,  Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam) will open their respective borders to one another (economically at first) and for the AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) there will be a free movement of goods and services, labour and capital. In theory then, a citizen of any of the 10 countries will become a citizen of all.</p>\n<p>A few quick figures display the AEC as a potentially formidable economic region, with over 600 million people and a combined GDP making it the 8th richest market in the world.&nbsp;So what can this mean for Bangkok and it\'s real estate market? Well of course no one can predict the future exactly, but looking at 3 possible areas that may get influenced by the integration.</p>\n<h3>Economic expansion of Bangkok</h3>\n<p>For all its faults (and like any big city, Bangkok has many), Bangkok is geographically in probably the best position to take advantage of the AEC. With links by airplane to almost all of the other nine capitals in 3 hours or a lot less, Bangkok is practically a central hub. And this has been reflected in its main airport at Suvanarbhumi. When opened in 2006, Suvarnabhumi was built for a capacity of 45 million passengers a year, and despite the huge global recession of 2008 till present, it has indeed surpassed that number already.</p>\n<p>In fact there are already advanced talks into how the airport will be expanded with a second terminal to handle 100 million passengers per year. And due to the increased demand, the old Don Muang airpost has been reopened and is likely to continue to expand its services as well. This means that it is already easy for a high number of AEC citizens to come to Bangkok to visit or to work.</p>\n<p>Presuming the AEC works in a similar fashion to the old EEC (now EU) then it will make it easier for AEC citizens to not only move to Bangkok, but also to set up businesses and help expand the economy in Bangkok.  This will then in turn lead to an increased demand for property in Bangkok, whether for rent or to buy. In theory large numbers of people could come to live in Bangkok from countries like Indonesia, Vietnam or Cambodia to work for companies owned and run by their compatriots.</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">The expansion in the buy-to-let market</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I\'m sure it has escaped no expat\'s notice that many of the new condos that have been built within walking distance or easy travel of a BTS or MRT station have been geared to the buy-to-let rental market. Many expats live in these clean, modern and convenient properties, and many are ideal for bachelors, bachelorettes or even couples and small families to live in. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Once again, presuming that non-Thai AEC citizens take advantage of Bangkok\'s infrastructure (at present superior to many of the other AEC capitols) and its geographical location, then it is not much of a stretch to see how some sensible non-Thai investors will look to the Bangkok buy-to-let market for decent returns.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">If for example a wealthy Cambodian reads that many Cambodian businesses are setting up in Bangkok and employing fellow Cambodians (and other expats) then he/she may see Bangkok\'s real estate market as a good investment opportunity, especially with the free flow of capital the AEC offers.</span></p>\n<h3>Holiday homes in Bangkok</h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">It used to be the case that when westerners talked about shopping in The Far East the main two destinations mentioned were Hong Kong and Singapore, but in the last 10-15 years that has changed. The huge expansion in modern super luxurious shopping malls in Bangkok has led to a huge amount of regular weekend air traffic coming into Bangkok to shop. Not just from the likes of India, China, Indonesia and other SE Asian nations, but also ironically from Hong Kong and Singapore.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">This has led to a rise in newly wealthy Chinese and other Asians to buy properties in Bangkok for convenience of travelling to Bangkok to shop and to stay for a few days.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">With the opening of the AEC this trend looks set to not only continue, but also increase. With the free flow of capital across 10 markets then investors will feel even more confident to buy a luxury like a holiday home in Bangkok.</span></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

That\'s why you want to literally jump for joy when a company really gets it right.','<p>My wife and I have become huge fans of a restaurant called Wine Connection at Megamall Bangna. Actually I believe they have several branches in Bangkok and a new branch may have recently opened in Chiang Mai.</p>\n<p>The quality of the food is good and the menu prices are extremely affordable for a restaurant of that standard - but the main reason we keep returning is the level of service that hits you the moment you walk through the door. I have no idea who the owner of The Wine Connection chain is but oh boy, does this person know how to run a dining establishment.</p>\n<h3>Looking for love</h3>\n<p>In the UK reality TV show, The Restaurant Inspector, Fernando Piere - the director of world-famous, Michelin-starred London restaurant, The Ivy - begins each programme with a simple message - \"when people go out for a meal, they aren\'t just looking for good food, they\'re looking for an experience, they\'re looking for some love\"</p>\n<p>The moment you enter Wine Connection in Bangna, you can certainly feel the love.</p>\n<p>You are promptly greeted at the door. There\'s none of that awkward standing around while the staff work out where the hell you\'re going to be seated and end up just ignoring you.</p>\n<p>The menus are handed to you as soon as you sit down and you are then left alone for several minutes to make your choices, after which a discreet nod of the head will bring forth a waiter with his pen and pad. I mean is there anything worse in a restaurant than being given a menu and then having the waiter hover over you as if you have 90 seconds to place your order or he\'ll self-destruct.</p>\n<p>If you\'re dining with a partner or a group, ALL the starters and main meals arrive together - and anyone who has lived in Thailand any length of time will tell you what an achievement that is.</p>\n<p>Not only that, but all the time you are eating, the waiter stands a comfortable distance from your table but remains aware of the situation should you raise your hand for an extra bread roll or simply to ask a question.</p>\n<p>It\'s exactly how a restaurant dining experience should be. And it\'s only more noticeable because Thailand - and let\'s be truly honest about this - is a country where all too often, poor to average customer service is the accepted norm.</p>\n<h3>Training is crucial</h3>\n<p>I once worked with a teacher who had gone through a mid-life career change (as many folks do) and in the past, he had managed several high-class restaurants in Los Angeles. I used to enjoy my little chats with James about the restaurant business as we both prepared lessons in a corner of the teachers\' room.</p>\n<p>\"It\'s all about good training\" James used to say. \"Whether it be the restaurant business or any other, you have to train your staff well. You can\'t afford not to in this day and age\"</p>\n<p>James is sadly no longer with us, but I always remember his wise words whenever I\'m enjoying a meal at Wine Connection. Yes, he was definitely right about one thing - it\'s all about the training.</p>\n<p>My wife and I were at Megamall Bangna again today. After another fine lunch at Wine Connection (I think these guys ought to be putting me on the payroll for these recommendations) we had a little wander around the shops with no particular objective in mind.</p>\n<h3>A tale of two stores</h3>\n<p>We ended up browsing in just two stores - one was Uniglo, a Japanese clothing chain, and the other was Sportsworld, a retail sportswear company that I believe to be Thai-owned. If you were seeking out examples of a store that clearly provides great staff training and a store where staff training must surely be non-existent, then these two companies couldn\'t have provided a better contrast. They were complete polar opposites.</p>\n<p>The staff at Uniglo greet you with a cheery hello every time they walk past (OK, it does get a bit tiresome when you\'ve heard it for the 12th time) and they are always available to answer questions and direct you to what ever you\'re looking for. Nothing is too much trouble.</p>\n<p>Sportsworld, on the other hand, is a disaster. The staff stand around looking bored and dejected and you instantly feel that anything more than the most basic question will be met with a shrug of the shoulders.</p>\n<p>I go into Sportsworld because it\'s a decent place to buy cheap gym shorts. You won\'t catch me spending 1200 baht on brand name shorts when the 250 baht ones serve the purpose just as well. As usual, the cheap gym shorts were all plonked on top of a display unit in the middle of an aisle. That\'s OK because I enjoy a good old rummage. Except I couldn\'t do any rummaging on this occasion because there were three shop assistants (at least I think that\'s their job description) leaning on the display and enjoying a hearty chinwag. I think the gist of the conversation was that one of their friends had posted a fluffy kitten picture on Facebook - and why bother with customers when there are fluffy kitten photos to be fawned over.</p>\n<p>I whipped out my mobile phone to capture the scene in front of me - and then left minus the shorts. Yes, it\'s all in the training.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/Sportsworld.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m going to go off on a slight tangent if I may. Isn\'t it amazing how many staff members in so many stores are glued to their smartphones these days - with Facebook undoubtedly the main culprit? Want to know where the sugar is kept? Want to know if they have that garment in a larger size? Where are the toilets because I\'m busting for a piss?</p>\n<p>Oh the looks and scowls I\'ve had for disturbing a shop assistant as they like and unlike or friend and unfriend - and dare to have the temerity to expect staff to do the job they are being paid to do.</p>\n<p>It\'s little wonder that so many companies have banned their staff from using Facebook and other social networking sites. I totally understand where they are coming from. And if I was a company boss, I\'d do exactly the same thing.</p>\n<h3>New wheels</h3>\n<p>My wife recently bought a new car. It\'s a Nissan something or other. Oh please don\'t ask me about models or types of car. I loathe anything to do with cars and I always have. In all the years I owned a car back in the UK, my relationship with it never went beyond opening the door, turning the ignition key and hoping the damn thing got me to point B. I was the only motorist in The British Isles who had to get someone to help me whenever I needed to put air in the tyres.</p>\n<p>Where was I? Oh yes - my wife bought a new Nissan car. Previously she had a Toyota - a grayish Toyota something or other. Now if you ever needed another example of staff training at its very best, look no further than the Toyota Service Centre in Bangna, opposite Central shopping complex.</p>\n<p>Twice a year, my wife would drive there for a check-up. And even though I hate cars with a passion, I would still tag along because I enjoyed being part of such a wonderful customer service experience. And she would usually take me for lunch afterwards!</p>\n<p>Here was a place that took its staff training seriously. You parked up in front of the Toyota Service Centre and a mechanic in spotlessly-clean uniform would instantly appear, open the driver door and enquire as to your reasons for being there. After scribbling a few lines on a clipboard, he would take you to the reception area where you sat on sumptuous swivel chairs and settled payments with gorgeous female service representatives. You were offered free coffee and a seat in the TV lounge or if you fancied half an hour of free internet, there were three computer terminals for public use. What more could a customer ask for?</p>\n<p>Then after taking down all your details, someone would say \"your car will be ready to pick up in two hours madam\" - and it always was. Not once did we go back to find two legs sticking out from under the hood and endless bullshit excuses as to why the check-up hadn\'t been completed. The car was always ready.</p>\n<p>The purchase of a new car of course meant a change of service centre. My wife feared it might be problematic and she was spot on. Everything that Toyota does right, Nissan gets wrong. It started with us getting hopelessly lost on Kingkaew Road - a thoroughfare that seems to stretch from here to Cambodia. We decided to park up and call for directions. The phone rang for 20 minutes. I visualized two office girls looking at cute kittens on Facebook and one saying \"let it ring, they\'ll give up\" But eventually they answered and gave us the most convoluted set of directions you could ever wish for. After calling back three times, we finally found the service center.</p>\n<p>A security guard, who clearly disliked being disturbed, told us where to go by waving a hand in the direction of the rest of the world, and once we drove into the service bay and got out, we then stood around like idiots for what seemed like forever. A mechanic eventually took pity on us, put down his grease-gun, stubbed out his fag, and led us to the office - a tiny space with four chipboard walls and a desk where the customer service rep sat - at least when she\'s not in the toilet, which is where she was now.</p>\n<p>To cut a long story short, we persuaded them to accept the car and wandered off for a bite to eat, shaking our heads at how two giants of the car manufacturing world - Toyota and Nissan - could have such differing levels of customer service.</p>\n<p>\"You know what\" I said to my wife \"It\'s all in the training\"</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-12-10 05:34:57',1,'2013-12-10 05:34:57','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(17241,83,'On the Bangkok protests And Thailand\'s mysterious culture','on-the-bangkok-protests-and-thailands-mysterious-culture','Thailand is still something of an enigma to me','I am currently living in the one of Thailand\'s southeastern provinces, in a place called Trat Town.

As I hear more news about the anti-government protests in Bangkok heating up, so to speak, I am surprised by how little it affects me out here.</p>\n<p>I have heard stories about shootings, bomb threats, and Bangkok\'s largest luxury malls closing, but out in Trat life is just following its usual routines. I assumed that most Thai people were politically apathetic, but I am slightly astonished how little anyone discusses the protests out in the provinces. Bangkok is the epicenter of political activity in Thailand, but I assumed more people would get involved once the protests began to affect shopping.</p>\n<p>Truthfully, I am having trouble understanding what is going on with the protests. Ostensibly, the red shirts support Thaksin while the yellow shirts want new leadership. However, what is it exactly that the yellow shirts are trying to accomplish? I understand that the current regime is corrupt, but will a new regime be any less so?</p>\n<p>Until there is more transparency in government and a greater feeling of equality and fraternity among Thailand\'s citizens, I do not think a change of leadership will accomplish much. The reason Thais use the English vernacular word for corruption is because there is no Thai word for it. The closest word they have means something along the lines of defrauding the citizens without notifying the king.</p>\n<p>The Thai people need a consciousness shift in how they conceive of themselves as citizens in a democracy. They need to stop thinking of themselves as subjects and people whose votes can be bought and begin to think of themselves as participants in the future direction of their homeland.</p>\n<p>It\'s striking how little I understand Thailand, even though I have lived here for over a year. When I traveled to Vietnam, I read as much as I could on the country, its people, and its history. Though the country remains an enigma to almost anyone not from there, at least the information is available. If a person is so inclined, he or she can read books on contemporary Vietnamese politics, environmental developments, or ethnic minorities living in the highlands. He or she can also read novels by Graham Greene or Michael Herr and get a better sense of what the country was like at a particular time.</p>\n<p>In Thailand, I find that most literature is on Bangkok\'s jails or prostitution industry, and most ethnographies portray the Thais as selfish and egocentric people (this may be true of some people, but many Thai people have been unbelievably friendly and helpful to me). There seems to be a clear lack of transparency into the Thai culture and mindset. To the foreigner, Thai culture and behavior remain nebulous.</p>\n<p>Of course, I could be wrong about all this. What do I really know about Thailand anyway? To me, there is nothing more exhilarating than the process of figuring things out.  However, until I learn how to decipher the code, Thailand will stay an enigma.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-12-11 03:55:50',1,'2013-12-11 03:55:50','2013-12-11 18:06:51'),(17828,20,'An overview of teaching in Thailand','an-overview-of-teaching-in-thailand','I thought this might be of benefit to new ajarn readers in particular','I was asked to fill in a questionnaire by my old university on the topic of teaching English in Thailand. Although it was intended to encourage applicants to take a Thai study program in Germany, the information might be useful for those teachers thinking of coming to work here in Thailand.','<h3>Personal Background:</h3>\n<p><strong>How long have you been in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>About a year and a half.</p>\n<p><strong>Had you visited before?</strong></p>\n<p>No.</p>\n<p><strong>Where do you live?</strong></p>\n<p>Bangkok, not far from Mo Chit BTS station and Chatuchak Park.</p>\n<p><strong>What made you move to Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>I love the food, the weather, and having worked at a Thai restaurant in the past, I love the culture. Plus, everything here\'s cheap.</p>\n<p><strong>What degree of education do you have and in which area? </strong></p>\n<p>Bachelors of Arts, English Communications</p>\n<p><strong>Are any fields preferable to teaching in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>For mainstream teaching (government schools, language schools), the area of study isn\'t as important as having a degree. Yes, you can teach in Thailand without a degree (and I have many friends that do), but technically a degree is required to get a work permit. Although I also have friends that have permits without degrees (every law is debatable for a price here), it is certainly easier to at least have a degree. If you want a job in an international school, you will almost certainly need a degree related to education (likewise for some university positions, plus a Master\'s degree), but otherwise any degree will do.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you need teaching certification to teach in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes and no. I completed a TEFL program (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) here in Thailand, and I\'m glad I did; it\'s one thing to know English, but it\'s another thing entirely to teach it. Although I wouldn\'t say the course was groundbreaking in any way, it was good to practice how to structure a lesson and practice grammar I haven\'t used in years.</p>\n<p>You will see both TEFL courses advertised and CELTA/DELTA courses. The main difference from what I\'ve found is that the CELTA focuses more on grammar and English, whereas a basic TEFL course is more about lesson planning and whatnot. The CELTA is supposedly accepted more universally in-and-out of Thailand, but I\'m glad I did just a basic TEFL program. Also note: you can do both online and in-class courses; that\'s entirely up to you, although most places that require a TEFL require one that included actual teaching hours.</p>\n<p>Most schools/language schools require some sort of TEFL certificate to teach, but it\'s not always necessary. I work with two teachers who came straight from university without TEFLs, but because they have never taught before, it\'s actually surprisingly obvious. Sure, you can \"wing it,\" but that\'s not the best for either you or the students.</p>\n<h3>Healthcare</h3>\n<p><strong>What insurance do you have? </strong></p>\n<p>None</p>\n<p><strong>What does the health care in Thailand look like? How do you proceed when you are ill? </strong></p>\n<p>Many clinics and hospitals exist, especially in the capital, and although I\'ve not been sick enough to need one, the prices are far more reasonable (without insurance or with) than in the US; a typical \"go to the hospital sick\" costs around $30 USD in most cases, and drugs are extremely cheap.</p>\n<p><strong>Do most schools provide insurance or benefits of any kind?</strong></p>\n<p>In my experience, no. I think some non-government full-time positions provide benefits such as healthcare plans, but there is far less emphasis on healthcare packages (at least for foreigners) in Thailand than the US or Europe. Most government schools or agencies will either laugh at you if you ask or ignore you.</p>\n<h3>Getting there</h3>\n<p><strong>What can you recommend in terms of flights to Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>Check around online, and definitely try to book early. It\'s expensive to get here, but cheap once you\'re here. I have previously used websites such as kayak.com and cheapoair.com, but in my experience one site is about the same as the others. Prices will likely be higher for \"high season\" in Thailand, between about November and April or so.</p>\n<h3>Information on Visas and Work Permits</h3>\n<p><strong>Please describe the process and the problems that occurred when getting a work visa.</strong></p>\n<p>HA! Well, I was here almost a year before I finally got one. The main problems are A) getting your employer to actually do the paperwork, B) constantly changing rules, and C) ridiculous amounts of copies and paperwork needed.</p>\n<p>I worked for a teaching agency for the first six months that didn\'t even bother starting the process; although they said in the interview that they\'d get me a work permit, they never did. I now work for a government school, and the process still took at least 4 months all said, plus many fees I had to pay. Definitely check online websites (thaivisa.com, ajarn.com) for visa articles, but don\'t let it discourage you from coming over; it\'s just unfortunately a huge hassle.</p>\n<p>Note: I\'m writing from a Bangkok point of view, with the labor department and immigration offices seeing thousands of people per day. I\'ve heard far easier stories from friends of mine teaching outside of the city.</p>\n<p><strong>Can you work without a work permit?</strong></p>\n<p>(This is just my opinion - your experience may be different) Unless you work for an international or actually \"legit\" language or government school, it\'s not that big of a deal; I worked work permit-less for around a year with no problems. It\'s highly common to work without a work permit, just don\'t be stupid and go reporting yourself to the police.</p>\n<p>Note here: \"work permit\" and \"visa\" are two separate entities in Thailand; you must have a Non-Immigrant B visa (which is sponsored by your employer or school) before you even begin the process for a work permit. Just because you have a \"valid\" work permit doesn\'t necessarily mean you still have a valid visa. Again, check online sites (thaivisa.com, ajarn.com) or many articles about work permit and visa issues.</p>\n<p><strong>How long in advance do you have to apply?</strong></p>\n<p>For the visa, it\'s best you COME to Thailand with one. Try to arrange a sponsor before leaving your home country to get a Non-B visa; it lasts longer, and is often cheaper from your home country. If you can\'t, Laos is the easiest (and only) border country that currently issues \"double entry\" Non-B and Tourist visas (at least to US citizens). Each visa is valid for 60 days, usually with the ability to pay about half the original cost again for a 30 day extension. For a single-entry visa, you can get a total of 90 days after extending, and for a double-entry visa, you can get up to 180 days after two extensions AND a \"border run,\" which entails crossing into another country (Cambodia and Laos are the closest land borders to Bangkok) after the extension on your first \"entry\" expires.</p>\n<p>Work permit wise, it depends on the school. I\'ve heard of work permits being issued in as little as a month, although mine took over four. It\'s all according to who you have helping you get the permit and how motivated they are to help. Once you GET a work permit, though, it gives you the ability to extend your Non-Immigrant B visa through the duration of your work permit validity date (usually your contract termination date), although you still have to pay to get your visa changed again (some schools will pay, mine didn\'t) and you\'re still required to \"check in\" every 90 days at an immigration office (which is luckily of no extra charge).</p>\n<p>Remember, this is the bare-minimum story; check around to make sure nothing has changed, because although this is accurate as of December 2013, it may all change at a day\'s notice. This is Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Any inside tips? </strong></p>\n<p>Getting a work permit in Thailand is much more about having the ability to extend your Non-B visa for a year than it is the \"legality\" of working in Thailand. Yes, having a work permit certainly helps (you supposedly must have one to open bank accounts, although I opened two without one), but it\'s truly not the end of the world not having one provided you can manage to keep your visa status in good shape. Hellooooo visa runs.</p>\n<p>It helps a lot to have a Thai friend who can help you navigate the system of chaos. Your school should provide you with someone to help, but don\'t just expect that the person assigned A) knows what he/she is doing, or B) cares enough to help. Often, schools require Thai staff who already have jobs and lots to do to help foreigners with visa issues without paying them for the extra work. If I were these people, I\'d certainly not be so helpful... just keep that in mind.</p>\n<p>Bangkok-specific: immigration is located in furthest-back building the massive Government Complex in the northern area of the city on Chang Wattana Road. There are motorbikes that will take you there from Mo Chit BTS station for about 200 baht ($6.25 USD). It is not uncommon for it to take you all day and then some to get anything accomplished there, although I must say it\'s a fairly efficient system considering this is Thailand. Always remember that they\'ll often want two copies of pretty much EVERYTHING that is related to your application. Luckily, there are print shops in both the immigration and labor departments, but you don\'t want to spend all day. The shortest it\'s taken me to get something done is about an hour and a half; the longest is two days, all day.</p>\n<h3>Money and Expenses</h3>\n<p>Note: any mentions I use in US dollars are rough estimates based on the ever-fluctuating $1 = 30 baht. Just use these numbers as an estimate. Also note: most of my expenses are based in Bangkok in December 2013, which as far as capitol cities go is quite cheap. Prices in other provinces will vary.</p>\n<p><strong>What are your monthly expenses for rent/utilities? </strong></p>\n<p>I am living in a fairly nice, modern, Western-style condo, so my prices are higher than what you can pay if you want just the basics. See my last entry in this section.</p>\n<p>In the Chatuchak area of Bangkok (northern area), my rent is 12,000 baht per month ($400 USD), and I usually pay about 500-700 baht ($15-$25) for electricity. If you pay the \"government direct\" rate as I do, your power bill will be far less than what many apartment complexes charge; I pay less than half of what I used to pay for a place half the size of mine now (it was apartment-rate power billing), and I have far more power-using devices too.</p>\n<p>I pay something like 30 baht ($1 USD) every other month for water, which is basically free.</p>\n<p>I have DSL internet - not the best, but I\'ve had worse even in the US - through True (a large provider in Thailand), and pay 650 baht ($20) per month, which is expensive for Thailand.</p>\n<p>Phone bill: I have a pre-pay TrueMove mobile number, which is handy in that there is no contract required, and I pay for a little pre-pay package each month including 500 MB of data and 200 minutes for 400 baht ($13). Even the top, unlimited data for smartphone packages are less than $30 per month, and within Bangkok, coverage is great.</p>\n<p>Total, rent + bills, my monthly expenses run about 13,000 baht ($410 or so), and keep in mind that in the past, with lower-quality digs and internet access, I was paying about 6,000 baht (under $200). It\'s all in what you want. You can obviously pay a lot more than I pay now, but my former accommodations\' $200/month is on the lowest end of the expense spectrum here in Bangkok when you\'re only counting rent/bills (no travel or food).</p>\n<p><strong>What are your daily expenses for food? </strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t know that it\'s fair to allocate a \"daily\" food expense amount, since some days I spend nothing and some I can spend hundreds of baht. But weekly, I\'d estimate I spend about 1,000 baht ($30 USD) on food. I have a kitchenette that I cook in quite frequently, but honestly, if you don\'t plan on staying in Thailand more than a year-ish, it\'s just as cheap or cheaper to eat out every day and not buy the cooking equipment. (Thai apartments/condos don\'t typically have built-in kitchen facilities like those in Europe/the US).</p>\n<p>That\'s about 4,000 baht/month ($125) on food, although I\'ve spent FAR more and FAR less depending on my budget. The bottom line: eat Thai food, it\'ll be cheap. Eat foreign food, it\'ll be more expensive to varying degrees. In Bangkok, you can literally find almost anything... for a price.</p>\n<p><strong>What are you monthly expenses for social activities? </strong></p>\n<p>I\'ll take this to mean movies/bar hopping. I\'d say I spend maybe 4,000-5,000 baht on these things in a normal month, although this largely depends on what you like to do. If you like to bar hop (as I have been known to do), you can easily spend this entire amount in a night. Everything is cheap in Thailand compared to the West, but drinks are about the same as your home country, depending on where you go. A cheap Thai beer can be about 30 baht in a low-end bar/restaurant ($1), but if you go to clubs or foreigner-centered areas of town (Bangkok or otherwise), the prices will be on par with what you\'re used to at home.</p>\n<p>Movies are cheap; the IMAX across the street from my house costs about 250 baht ($8), regular movies about 170 baht ($5), and special days (Wednesdays) are 100 baht ($3.50). There are some good cheap used book stores I\'ve found too, with books averaging under $5.</p>\n<p>Again, remember: everything in Thailand is cheap (aside from alcohol and technology) compared to Western countries. But, once you start teaching and earning Thai baht, it begins to seem much more expensive.</p>\n<p><strong>How much do you spend commuting?</strong></p>\n<p>I spend around 1000 baht ($30 USD) each month, which includes buses, trains, and taxis.</p>\n<p><strong>How much in total are you spending each month? </strong></p>\n<p>My average spending, everything included, is about 22,000 baht ($700 USD). I actually am paying far more due to student loans I\'m paying back, but that\'s beside the point.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your preferred method of payments? </strong></p>\n<p>I typically go to any of the seemingly zillion 7/11 convenience stores or a Tesco Lotus Express store. Almost all bills have a barcode that you can use to pay basically anywhere. The stores charge a minimal amount (30 baht for 7/11 power bills, although Tesco Lotus Express only charges like 5 baht), and your bills are instantly paid. Alternatively, almost any ATM will let you pay almost any bill with a Thai bank account. They even have barcode scanners built in, although I haven\'t had much luck with them.</p>\n<p><strong>Did you open a Thai bank account?  How?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes. At first, I didn\'t have a work permit, which makes it difficult to open an account. Without a work permit, it\'s technically illegal to open an account, but if you act very nice and play dumb to some extent, as well as avoid the very foreigner-centered branches in Bangkok (Central World, Paragon, etc.), you\'re likely to find a bank that lets you open an account. This is Thailand; money talks. If you\'re working for an agency or other employer, it helps significantly if you have a letter of sponsorship in some form.</p>\n<p>You\'ll want a \"savings\" account, which is the equivalent of a \"checking\" account in the US. My second account was far easier to set up because I had a work permit; just pay the fees and you have an account in minutes, really.</p>\n<p>One note: to my knowledge (and I\'ve looked around quite a bit), Siam Commercial Bank (SCB, the \"purple\" bank) is the only bank that will let you do international money transfers online (and with the lowest fee- 300 baht/$10 USD). This usually isn\'t something anyone needs to do unless you\'re like me and have student loan payments to make.</p>\n<p>In terms of GETTING money here from your country, it\'s up to your bank. In my case, I have a US based bank that doesn\'t charge me fees to use my ATM card here in Thailand. It\'s thus cheapest to use my card. Friends of mine from the UK typically do online bank transfers from their home bank. It\'s all up to the fees.</p>\n<h3>Accommodation and Public Transportation</h3>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your dwelling\'s standard of living? Good? Bad? </strong></p>\n<p>You can live FAR worse off than me; my first six months here, I lived in a basic college dorm style studio with air con but no hot water or anything else (no fridge either). It cost a whopping 4500 baht ($150 USD), and you can find places for even cheaper. After a while, though, and realizing I wanted to stay in Thailand, I have since moved to a quite nice, brand new Western-style condo with one separate bedroom (30 square meters). It\'s on the 7th floor with a nice balcony, 2 air cons, HOT WATER (a biggie for me), is across the street from a cinema and large shopping mall, has a great pool/gym/sauna/mini-library, and makes me happy to come home each day.</p>\n<p>You can get anything from 3rd-world dwellings if you really don\'t care about where you stay to London-style flats in the center of the action. I\'m not far from the very convenient BTS Skytrain, close to my primary job, and couldn\'t be happier. Honestly, where I\'m living now is as nice or nicer than places I\'ve lived in the States... and for far less.</p>\n<p><strong>How easy was it to find a place? Do you have any helpful websites?</strong></p>\n<p>There are places everywhere, but it\'s extremely helpful to have a Thai friend go along with you; you will almost certainly be ripped off if you go in alone as a foreigner, as with everything in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The best way to find a place is literally walk around and go into anything that looks halfway interesting. Websites in Thailand aren\'t as accurate as they are in Western countries. That said, ddproperty.com is a good site to get general ideas about prices in neighborhoods you\'re looking in.</p>\n<p><strong>What is a typical Thai condo/apartment like?</strong></p>\n<p>As said earlier, you can get anything from a basic 3rd-world style hell hole studio for next to nothing to a 5 star condo resort. Thai style apartments may have Thai toilets, I warn you (a \"squatter\"), and often do not have bathroom sinks. Everything, in such case, is done using the shower head.</p>\n<p><strong>How is the public transportation?</strong></p>\n<p>Bangkok\'s BTS Skytrain/MRT subway are among the nicest I\'ve used, owing primarily to the fact that they\'re so new. In Bangkok, unless you have infinite patience and enjoy sitting in traffic, if you can get somewhere via these trains, I\'d say go for it.</p>\n<p>Buses in Bangkok vary. The red, pink, and some blue buses are cheapest, non-air conditioning, but cost something like 8 baht ($0.25 USD, a quarter). In the evenings this is fine, but in the midst of a hot day, I\'d recommend an air-con bus, typically orange, blue, or yellow, and prices on those generally start at 11 baht ($0.34), depending on your destination.</p>\n<p>Outside of the capitol, transportation is a bit more difficult. Most cities/towns have a \"baht bus\" system, sometimes a songtow, that usually follow set routes and cost something like 10 baht. They\'re basically pickup trucks with bench seats and usually a roof. Pattaya is filled with them. Alternatively, motorbike taxis exist everywhere I\'ve been in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you get to your school/job?</strong></p>\n<p>I take a city bus, which costs about 11 baht each way ($0.35), aircon usually. Others I know take taxis or motorbike taxis every day, or if you live off of the Skytrain, that\'s even easier.</p>\n<p><strong>Where do you locate/store your valuable objects? </strong></p>\n<p>I have yet to have a single problem with theft... or crime of any kind. My first apartment, as cheap and basic as it was, still had a thumbscanner to enter the building, and the place I\'m in now may as well be Fort Knox for all the security. Perhaps I should be more paranoid, but Thais (in my experience) are generally less prone to theft than the US; it\'s a culture thing the way I see it.</p>\n<h3>Teaching Itself</h3>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your English teaching job</strong></p>\n<p>I actually work at three different places: a government school (my full time job) and two different language schools.</p>\n<p>I teach in the Mini English Program at my government school. My hours are roughly 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., although they\'re fairly flexible with my schedule. I\'m lucky; this semester, we don\'t\' have extra duties like \"gate duty\" at 6:30 a.m. like I\'ve had before, nor are we required to sit through most of the ridiculous morning assemblies. These assemblies often bite into the first school period, and it\'s not uncommon for the entire first and sometimes second or third period to be gone before classes actually start. But that\'s another matter.</p>\n<p>My language schools: depending on what classes I\'ve been offered, I work most evenings after my government school and Saturdays and/or Sundays. (Remember: I have student loans to pay, so not everyone needs to work as much.) These classes come and go as the two schools I work for get contracts. Most of my corporate classes are two hours long and most material is provided for me (to some extent, at least the guide format), but it depends on the client.</p>\n<p>It\'s hard to give much advice in this category; all schools and jobs will be different, obviously.</p>\n<p><strong>How many lessons do you have to prepare in a week?</strong></p>\n<p>Preparation-wise, I\'ve been at my school over a year now, so I have basically written everything I need for classes since I\'ve had them before. My government school is fairly easy, and I only teach 15 or so classes per week out of 40 hours I\'m supposed to be there. Sure, there\'s lots of planning involved, but once you get started and get the hang of it, it\'s really not that difficult.</p>\n<p>My school supposedly requires lesson plan submission every week, and although I do have them in some form, I\'ve never actually been asked for them.</p>\n<p>Most language schools will provide the bulk of what you need for your lessons with them, so most of your lesson planning will come from a primary/high school if you work there.</p>\n<p><strong>How many classes/hours do you teach per week? </strong></p>\n<p>This term, I teach 16 periods at my government school. I also teach an additional 15 or so hours outside of regular school hours.</p>\n<p><strong>How many students are in one class? </strong></p>\n<p>This depends on your position and school. My classes at my government school range from 14-30 students, but other teachers at the same school have classes upwards of 60 students. It all depends on your program and school.</p>\n<p><strong>What is the average age of the students? </strong></p>\n<p>I teach Mathayom 1-4, which is basically US grades 7-10. Most of my students are 12-15.</p>\n<p>At my language school classes (and corporate classes), ages vary from high school age to 50+ years old. It all depends on the classes.</p>\n<p><strong>How do the students behave during class and in terms of homework and exams? </strong></p>\n<p>This is a heavily loaded question; I work in an English program whereby I have smaller class sizes, air con (most classrooms in government schools don\'t), and students whose parents pay money for them to be there... hence, better students. My students, although talkative at times, are quite good. Exams, though, when I proctor for the general students... cheating is to be expected.</p>\n<p>In general, my experience with students is that they are far more respecting of teachers than those in Western countries. Sure, they\'re still kids, but you are highly unlikely to encounter truly rude students or have them talk back to you. It\'s a different, more disciplined culture than that of the US and UK, for sure.</p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give someone planning or considering teaching abroad? </strong></p>\n<p>Realize that the system is far different than what you\'re used to, and you do not have any control over it. Your best bet is to not take things too seriously and do what you can for students within the parameters the school sets for you. Don\'t bother trying to \"fix\" this system, which most foreigners agree is broken to some degree; Thais are extremely proud and resistant to change in my experience.</p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe a good teacher/ good lesson in Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>You\'ve got to keep the students interested. This isn\'t a Western school where students expect to sit through a class every day. You must incorporate games or at least make lessons fun, or you won\'t be liked. And in Thailand, if you aren\'t liked by the students, no matter how much you think you\'re teaching them, you\'re out of a job.</p>\n<p><strong>How are you interacting with the students? </strong></p>\n<p>I think I\'m pretty good; be fun, easy going, and show interest in the students. Everything will be fine. Don\'t be too serious! Teaching in Thailand is somewhere between a lesson and a show.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you structure your lessons? </strong></p>\n<p>Again, this is a loaded question. I\'m primarily a science teacher, so my lessons are different than typical English classes. For basic English classes, a good pattern to follow is \"present, guide, produce...\" have a lesson presentation, guide the students through an activity, then give them an activity to do on their own. Remember: English isn\'t their first language, and they don\'t want to just listen to you ramble on the entire period.</p>\n<p>This also heavily depends on your age/proficiency range. Lower level students need far more hands-on and less teacher talking than higher level students.</p>\n<p><strong>What skills do you try do develop in your lessons? </strong></p>\n<p>This question is geared towards schools where you are just a general English teacher; in that case, you\'ll have some kind of list of things you should generally teach throughout the year, although schools widely vary on the level of control they place on you. I have dedicated reading, speaking, and writing classes, so those are obviously what I focus on in classes. To me, the main goal is to get Thai students to be able to communicate with foreigners; everything after that is gravy.</p>\n<p>Where do you get your teaching material from and can you recommend any helpful teaching websites?</p>\n<p>Google.com is your friend. There are lessons, materials, and ideas galore to be found; it just takes time to find it. Also, websites like www.ajarn.com are quite helpful.</p>\n<p><strong>Can you describe your teaching style? </strong></p>\n<p>I try to keep their attention by continually asking them questions, but remember: if you have a class of 50 students in a regular government school, this style won\'t work. You have to adapt to what you have; I\'m lucky.</p>\n<p>My style is fairly high-energy, which seems to work for Thai students. Just remember, your job is to get them speaking/understanding English, which means they shouldn\'t be listening to you the entire time. I always try to keep that in mind.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you solve difficult situations within the classroom? (e.g. students not paying attention, are shy , they don\'t understand you...) </strong></p>\n<p>Hand gestures and pointing to objects/props are extremely helpful. Make sure you speak slowly, and don\'t ever appear mad or frustrated. Keep the atmosphere light and happy, and generally you can work anything out.</p>\n<p><strong>Why did you choose to teach in Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>I love Thai food, I love warm weather, and I love the beach. Sounded like paradise to me... and it\'s not far from it!</p>\n<h3>Travel and leisure time</h3>\n<p><strong>Do you get any vacation time off? </strong></p>\n<p>Yes, kind of. Some schools will give you year-long contracts with vacation included, and some only contract for the school term. Either way, you get a few weeks between semesters in/around February/March/April and October/November. School schedules vary. The Thai school calendar is also full of random days off, which you likely won\'t know about until they happen if you end up at a school like me. Most schools will pay you for these official holidays, although some agencies will not. Make sure you check.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any recommendations of where to travel?</strong></p>\n<p>Phuket is my favorite place so far. If you\'re in Bangkok, Hua Hin and Pattaya are both beach destinations that aren\'t more than 3 hours in a van from the city and are great for weekend getaways. If you have time and enjoy mountains, the region around Chaing Mai is beautiful.</p>\n<p><strong>How much does travel cost in Thailand?</strong></p>\n<p>Within Bangkok, travel is CHEAP. Taxis, especially if you have British pounds/Euros/US dollars, are ridiculously cheap. The Skytrain/Metro systems are relatively cheap (again compared to Western countries), and buses are next to nothing.</p>\n<p>Traveling outside the city, especially if you\'re not in a hurry and willing to take overnight coaches, is still cheap; a 13 hour bus ride from Bangkok to Phuket in a \"VIP\" very nice bus/coach (as nice as 1st class airlines to me) cost me about 1060 baht (just over $30 USD). Expensive travel (for Thailand) exists in the form of taxis in very touristy places like Phuket and Pattaya; there, you\'re better off renting your own motorbike if you\'re brave enough.</p>\n<p><strong>How are you traveling and how much are you spending on that? </strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve flown (to the far south of Thailand) with Air Asia for about 1000 baht each way ($30 USD), but usually I take buses; they\'re usually far cheaper if you can work your time around it. The key to this: look around. Ask around. Don\'t be shy.</p>\n<p>That said, if you can catch Air Asia, Nok Air, or another \"cheap\" airline early enough or during a sale, it is sometimes cheaper to fly than take a bus. From Bangkok, though, it\'s not incredibly expensive (by Western standards) to get anywhere.</p>\n<p>The main bus terminal, Mo Chit Bus Station (also spelled \"Mor Chit\" or \"Morchit,\" and also called \"Chatuchak Bus Station\" and \"Northern Bus Terminal\"... typical Thailand), has buses everywhere and is where I generally leave from. It\'s not far from Mo Chit BTS or Chatuchak MRT stations. There are also bus stations in Ekkamai (right next to the Ekkamai BTS station) and a Southern Bus Terminal, although I\'ve never been there. A simple Google search can help you find general timetables for buses, although it\'s best to show up at the terminal itself or have a Thai friend call to ensure correct timetables. Websites aren\'t always trustworthy.</p>\n<h3>Thai Culture, customs, and politeness</h3>\n<p><strong>Did you experience a culture shock? </strong></p>\n<p>No, but I\'ve lived in Germany prior to coming to Thailand so I\'m accustomed to adjusting to different cultures. I also worked in a Thai restaurant, so I was at least accustomed to the food.</p>\n<p>Basically, if you\'re an uptight person or don\'t adapt to change well, I don\'t recommend Thailand. I\'ve met people that simply can\'t cope with the slow pace of things, among many other issues... but me, I love it. I love the different-ness of it all.</p>\n<p><strong>What tips do you have how to behave with the Thai people? </strong></p>\n<p>Just be polite and you can\'t go wrong. Don\'t be arrogant, and don\'t always begin a sentence with \"Well, where I\'m from...,\" because they don\'t care. And remember: nothing is done in a hurry here.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you recommend behaving yourself in public as a teacher? </strong></p>\n<p>Use common sense. Don\'t go drinking straight from the whisky bottle with students, obviously. But you don\'t have to feel like you\'re under constant scrutiny... Thais are seriously not that uptight. Just don\'t be rude!</p>\n<p><strong>How should you talk to superiors? </strong></p>\n<p>Be polite! And remember: they\'re always right. No sense in arguing for the most part, and if you do, be sure to be tactful almost to the point of making whatever you\'re suggesting seem like their idea. I\'ve worked for 4 companies, and this seems to be a common way to deal with things.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you dress at school and in public? </strong></p>\n<p>My school requires nice trousers and a tie, although dress code widely varies according to your school. It\'s really no different than a Western country, except that it\'s HOT in Thailand. Be prepared for that.</p>\n<p>In public, anything goes. Some temples require no bare shoulders or no shorts, but otherwise you can pretty much wear anything.</p>\n<p><strong>Have you learned any Thai? Are you attending any language courses? </strong></p>\n<p>Honestly, I\'m a fairly good teacher, but a terrible student. I lived in Germany for six months and didn\'t learn nearly enough German, and now I\'ve been in Thailand for over a year and still am not much past basic numbers. I should learn, but I just can\'t be bothered at the moment. They say the easiest way to learn is to get a Thai boy/girlfriend. Which I\'ve done, so hopefully that\'s the first step.</p>\n<p><strong>What are some important Thai phrases? </strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Kop kum krap (or kop kum kop) (man)<br />Kop kum ka (woman)<br />=thank you</p>\n<p>S-wa-dee krap (kop) (man)<br />S-wa-dee ka (woman<br />=hello</p>\n<p>mai pen rai = no worries, it\'s ok, no problem</p>\n<p>mai ped = not very spicy (although it still will be!)</p>\n<p>mai sai plik = no chili peppers!</p>\n<p>Men say \"krap\" or \"kop,\" and women say \"ka\" after every sentence to make it sound polite.</p>\n<p><strong>What is considered rude and disrespectful? </strong></p>\n<p>... not much in Bangkok, honestly. In the provinces, likely things crop up, but if you just act as your common sense says, you\'ll have no problems. I have noticed pointing/doing anything with your feet is rude, and I\'ve heard that you aren\'t supposed to touch a person\'s head, although I haven\'t personally seen that.</p>\n<p><strong>What do you think are the most important do\'s and don\'ts if you want to leave a good impression in Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>Do: use common sense, be polite, and realize you\'re a guest in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Don\'t: try to argue about politics or religion.</p>\n<h3>Safety, problems, and miscellaneous</h3>\n<p><strong>What can you tell us about security and crime rate in Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve never personally had any problems with either. The recent political unrest has caused worries here in the capitol and elsewhere, but honestly I have yet to encounter anything bad. Being a foreigner, aside from trying to rip you off, most Thai people typically leave you alone... I\'m not sure if this is just me, but I haven\'t heard of anything crime-related from any of my foreign friends, aside from an iPhone stolen from a friend of mine in the south of Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been in this country and how long are you planning to stay? </strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve been here about a year and a half, and have no plans to leave.</p>\n<p><strong>What kind of problems have you faced and how have you dealt with them? </strong></p>\n<p>The biggest problems I\'ve faced related to working with a teaching agency that didn\'t pay on time or the correct amount. Your best bet is to do as much research about any employer you work for as you can, and ask around. If they start to jerk you around, remember: as an English speaker, you are a commodity in Thailand and are sure to find another job (at least as a native speaker, almost immediately if you have the personality). I was royally screwed out of money and work permit, if you\'ll pardon me, and I\'m certainly not the only rookie it has happened to. But, I luckily already had a second job, I used it as a learning experience.</p>\n<p><strong>How do you stay in touch with friends and family? </strong></p>\n<p>I use WhatsApp messenger if you have a smartphone (which is almost a must in Bangkok, if for nothing else but the maps), email, and Skype. Skype credit is extremely cheap even to call regular telephones.</p>\n<p>An app called Line is more popular here in Thailand. It\'s also cheap for those of you old-school type people to pick up international calling cards, although I\'ve never used one.</p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any helpful links about living and teaching in Thailand? </strong></p>\n<p>www.ajarn.com<br />www.thaivisa.com<br />www.daveseslcafe.com</p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any other important information? </strong></p>\n<p>Don\'t take things too serious. If you\'re really to enjoy living and teaching in Thailand, you\'ve got to go with the flow.</p>\n<p>Just do your best for the students and take life as it comes.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Sam Thompson</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2013-12-16 03:03:44',1,'2013-12-16 03:03:44','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(18720,83,'On fatalism and choice','on-fatalism-and-choice','East versus West','People in Thailand have a more fatalistic view of life than people in the west do.

This view may seem odd to most westerners, especially to Americans, who believe that they should do their best to control the vicissitudes of life. The idea of controlling one\'s fate is alien to the Thai way.</p>\n<p>I find Thai superstitions odd and sometimes feel that the Thai people should join the twenty-first century. However, accepting the idea of fate in toto is no more ridiculous than accepting that one can control one\'s life entirely. Whereas a Thai will rarely blame another person for anything, even if that person is blatantly negligent and at fault, an American will always find someone to blame. To me, these opposite ends on the spectrum are equally asinine.</p>\n<p>Imagine this: you are an 85 year old man who suffers an ischemic stroke, but your family is not home and does not notice the symptoms at first. As a result, you are not finished with the tests at the hospital until 4 hours after the onset of symptoms. The law requires that a clot dissolving drug be given within 3 hours of the beginning of symptoms or the risk of hemorrhage is too great. Therefore, the physician cannot give you the drug and you end up in a wheelchair. Your family decides to sue the doctor for this, even though he was obeying the law and doing his best for you. Of course, your family will not win the suit. However, their litigious nature is what causes medical malpractice premiums, and ski lift ticket prices for that matter, to cost so much. Americans often do not understand that bad things happen, and they are not always someone\'s fault.</p>\n<p>Now imagine another scenario: you are a Thai taxi driver and you do everything you can to create good luck for yourself. You visit the temple regularly and have the correct amulets in your car. But, your poor driving causes you to run over a person riding a motorbike. You feel horribly guilty for what happened, but you believe that there was little you could have done to prevent the tragedy. This view is also profoundly flawed. Instead of believing all events to be the product of luck and merit, you could use your guilty conscience to propel you to take more precautions when driving, perhaps saving lives in the process. Thai people need to understand that sometimes people are negligent and should be blamed for things. Mai pen rae is not always the best philosophy to have.</p>\n<p>It is important to find a balance between these two extremes, to find that golden mean between an excess and a deficiency of fatalism. Given the arsenal of tools many of us have access to in the twenty-first century, it is now possible for us to control our fate by planning for the future and mitigating risk. Nonetheless, the reality of life is always now. The past and future are thoughts occurring in the present. The former are memories and the latter are anticipatory thoughts. In many ways, westerners can learn a lot from the Thai mindset of living in the present and letting go of things, since, in reality, we always are living in the present.</p>\n<p>Some people complain that people in Thailand do not think much. This is somewhat true, but this is not necessarily bad. As Hamlet said, \"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.\" Unlike many westerners, Thais do not analyze every moment until all the joy is drained out of it. Discursive thought is beneficial, but constantly being lost in thought is not. If you are always ruminating, then you will fail to connect with the nature of your own experience. You will not be aware of the events happening right in front of you. It is important to recognize thoughts as thoughts in order to not become lost in them. Of course, this is easier said than done for most of us.</p>\n<p>There is a scene from season 3 of Six Feet Under that resonates with me. Lisa says to her husband Nate, \"Things happen the way they\'re meant to Nate.\" Nate responds, \"There\'s a kind of fatalism in that that I just don\'t buy.\" Lisa asks what the alternative is and Nate replies, \"We make choices.\"</p>\n<p>Even after living in Asia, I still agree with the quote\'s message. Yet, it is surprising how much of our lives are dictated by circumstance and coincidence. Both Thais and Americans have lost perspective, and it is necessary to learn from both cultures to find an acceptable vantage point. One must strive to exert control over one\'s life, but worrying constantly will not help one get anywhere.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2013-12-24 06:57:25',1,'2013-12-24 06:57:25','2013-12-24 21:09:26'),(19932,59,'A \'one of a kind\' camp','a-one-of-a-kind-camp','Organising the perfect English camp for students','Last term, I tried a different kind of camp. The theme was \"Enhancing English proficiency in preparation for ASEAN 2015 through games and dance.\" I can say it was great because my students said that it was the most enjoyable camp they had ever been on','<p>There are a lot of different kinds of school camp - science camp, Thai language camp, scouting Camp, and self-sufficiency economy camp. The \'campers\' usually go through several learning stations - with one or two camp masters - as students get involved in the planned activities, fill up their \'passports\',   and have fun. In my experience, these camps have become so common that some students have become bored with them.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So, last term, I tried a different kind of camp. The theme was \"Enhancing English proficiency in preparation for ASEAN 2015 through games and dance.\" I can say it was great because my students said that it was the   most enjoyable camp they had ever been on. Being different, it yielded   maximum student participation, offered a lot of fun, provided more learning experiences, and gave more opportunities for speaking.</p>\n<p>What prompted me to do this? It was raining cats and dogs one day, so instead of having   activities at designated stations outside the classrooms, we held them inside the school canteen. If I had put the stations in  the school canteen the place would not have been big enough to hold four stations with 20 students in each group from Kindergarten to Grade 6. Other than that it would have been noisy and chaotic.</p>\n<p>Thanks must go to the six Filipino teachers from Chulalongkorn and Ramkamhaeng    Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project who suggested that  staying inside the canteen and modifying the camp format was better than sticking to the old plan.</p>\n<p>One activity was Spelling Quiz where students had to spell words using cut-out letters of the alphabet   formed on a sentence board in a team race format. Another activity was Speech Olympiad where representatives from each team answered questions from all lessons studied during the term. The ABC game, was also done by level and gauged the students\' understanding of English. All questions had 3 options. Anyone who had chosen   the letter of the wrong answer was eliminated. The lone survivor of the game was the winner and got big points for the team.</p>\n<p>The camp schedule was not strict except for meal breaks and resumption of activities. When everything was done, the teachers held games like Wrapping the Mummy, The Longest Line, and a dancing competition.</p>\n<p>With the centralized camp format, every member of the team had the chance to participate in each competition and did their best to earn their teams points. There was so much  learning going on, especially in the ABC game because the questions asked were  facts about the school director, the teachers, the school, and even about  information they never knew before. Of course, English practice was very evident too especially in the Speech Olympiad for students had to answer questions in English on personal information, greetings, hobbies, and much more. The most fulfilling part was spelling because students from Kindergarten to Grade 6 could practice spell words.</p>\n<p>I have compiled this list of tips to help make an ideal camp.</p>\n<p>1. Prepare the camp activities three months ahead. Time flies. If we procrastinate, we might overlook some important  matters.<br />2. Have a checklist of all the materials to be used or things to de done   from proposals, invitations, to little things. This helps in getting the materials ready for immediate use. <br />3. Prepare the things needed.  Having the things ready gives peace of mind to the teacher and gives ample time in   case there are  interruptions    in school.<br />4. From time to time, go through the checklist and mark those what have already been done.<br />5. Teach the skills to use in the activities of the camp by integrating them in your daily lessons so that when camp time comes, students are prepared.<br />6. Use the most exciting games and the most popular action song/dance learned from other camps attended.<br />7. Involve the Thai teachers in welcoming the visitors, taking care of the guests, judging, scoring or just being mere spectators.<br />8. Don\'t handle any station or activity yourself. Just oversee the camp activities. It\'s good to invite extra teachers to pitch in when invited guests fail to come.<br />9. Run the show. Don\'t let your coordinator do it for you. This is your time to shine.<br />10. Likewise, assign your guest teachers to facilitate everything. Your students are already used to you, so give the students a chance to interact with the foreign teachers.<br />11. Be flexible in your schedule in order to meet the needs of the time.</p>\n<p>I\'ve done these things in my camps and they\'ve worked well. Next time consider some of the pointers I have given. Without a doubt you\'ll have an ideal camp in your school.

Maybe it is because it was the first big step in moving to Thailand, but also because I wanted to get the most for my money and time.','<p>Before I signed up for an English teaching certification class, I spent 50+ hours reading about all my options. Maybe it is because it was the first big step in moving to Thailand, but also because I wanted to get the most for my money and time.</p>\n<p>I imagine that, for everyone, it is a balance of cost and practicality; what you want to get out of the course and how much you\'re able and willing to spend.</p>\n<p>For me, I liked the flexibility of teaching anywhere in the world and I didn\'t go to a big name university, so I thought the solid reputation of the CELTA was appealing. I wanted a challenge that would thoroughly prepare me for teaching abroad and I figured Cambridge\'s reputation was good for a reason. I also found that most of the reputable courses exceeded $1,300, so I figured it was only a few hundred dollars more.</p>\n<p>Thailand is also one of the cheapest places to do a TEFL course, including the CELTA.&nbsp;For teaching in Thailand, there were many TEFL course providers that ran the CELTA a close second (some were spread over a 6 weeks, which is ideal if you have the time - it\'s a lot to cram into 4 weeks, but for visa and housing reasons, 28 days was more accessible for me)</p>\n<p>I decided to take the CELTA and I was very happy with that decision.  Here\'s why:</p>\n<p>It exposed me to a lot of classroom time, observing my peers and the instructors 4 days a week for 2-3 hours, and teaching myself (eight 45 minute classes-2 each week).</p>\n<p>It pushed me to my limits, forcing me to prove myself. This made the course very rewarding, especially by the end, because you have to give it your all and you don\'t doubt for a minute that you earned the certificate. Its a big confidence boost and reality check at the same time, especially for those with no experience.</p>\n<p>The instructors were top-notch, diverse, and dedicated. They came from a variety of backgrounds and expertise, but they all had many years of experience. It was great to see the benefits of different teaching styles and to have different personality types. Every course had 2 instructors and there were also videos of other instructors in their library that you could watch.</p>\n<p>Taking the course in the country, and ideally the city, where you want to teach means instant connections to jobs and a group of friends that is likely to include some others who will be staying in the area after the course is over.</p>\n<p>The school is relatively large. Even though classes are around 16 people, there are multiple courses running in the same building, so there\'s a good chance you will meet someone you really connect with.</p>\n<p>The course attracts a variety of people, from nationality and experience level, to personality type and age. They also do a good job of mixing the groups so you get a little bit of everything in your core group of 6.</p>\n<p>When looking at courses, I recommend considering a few things about yourself as a student.</p>\n<p>Do you want to teach in more than one country with your certificate?<br />Are you willing and able to work under a high pressure environment for 4 weeks?<br />Are you willing to give and receive feedback about your performance with your peers?<br />Are you looking to genuinely improve your teaching?</p>\n<p>If you answered yes to all of these questions and you can afford a CELTA program, I would highly recommend it, ideally in the place where you want to teach unless you already have good job prospects.</p>\n<p>Now, once you\'ve settled on a course, this is what I would recommend for getting through it with your sanity and self-confidence:</p>\n<p>Get sleep. It will never be enough, but the more sleep the better. You\'ll handle unplanned changes better, you\'ll be nicer to the people around you, and you won\'t burn out as quickly.</p>\n<p>Do some recreational reading before the course. If you are really interested in being the best teacher possible, pick up some reading before hand. Try to familiarize yourself with some teaching games or online resources that might be useful. The more you know from a book before the course, the better equipped you\'ll be to exploit the expertise of your instructors for information that isn\'t as easy to find. You\'ll ask better questions, the lessons won\'t be over your head and you\'ll be less stressed.</p>\n<p>Take time to relax on the weekends doing whatever helps you manage stress; exercise, time in nature, exploring a new part of town or having some drinks with friends.</p>\n<p>Work hard and don\'t look back with regrets. You\'ll still learn a lot and make plenty of mistakes but the harder you work, the more you\'ll get out of it (while this makes sense to me, I was amazed at the number of people who didn\'t seem to understand this).</p>\n<p>Accept your weaknesses and embrace your strengths. These courses can make you feel very insecure about your skills because you are constantly being scrutinized, but no teacher is perfect. Take time during the course (though the self-evaluations sort of force this on you anyhow) to think about your strengths and exploit them in your teaching.</p>\n<p>Look for ways to balance your weaknesses with your strengths. For example, I found I excelled at lesson planning and forseeing problems with a lesson but I wasn\'t great at on-the-spot problem solving with a classroom of people and tended to panic. For me, I exploited my lesson planning and always had backup worksheets for students that struggled or were far ahead and backup activities if the students weren\'t engaging in a particular activity.</p>\n<p>Take time to plan and try new things, but also take time to write things down that went well or didn\'t and why immediately after your lesson. These notes will be invaluable later that day, the next week and even the next year as you develop in your teaching career.</p>\n<p>Don\'t be afraid to take risks. It is a good idea to run it by an instructor if it is really out there, but most risks will prove to be an unbelievably valuable learning experience.</p>\n<p>I wish you the best of luck on whatever course or career path you take.

I have tried several different jobs and in my heart they don\'t really suit me. I guess I really just miss the Thai lifestyle I have been waiting so long for.','<p>Well where do I start? I have a few questions, although before I ask, I&nbsp;best give you all a brief rundown on why I am asking these questions to start&nbsp;with. You seem to have a fair bit of experience living in Thailand and also&nbsp;have piles of other people\'s experiences wanting to either share something&nbsp;or find something out. So here is mine.</p>\n<h3>Thailand past</h3>\n<p>As for me and my experiences, I have previously lived in Thailand for about&nbsp;5 years, around 5-6 years ago. Back then life was great, enjoyed teaching, I&nbsp;married the love of my life (a Thai girl) and we had a baby. After giving it&nbsp;some thought we opted to leave Thailand briefly - for one reason we were&nbsp;low on cash, and most of all to head back to Australia for my parents to&nbsp;meet their first grandchild. Our plan was to stay a couple of years, save&nbsp;some cash and return back to continue living that always exciting life in&nbsp;Thailand of never knowing what to expect next.</p>\n<p>Though after 2 years, we had our second child and decided that since we have&nbsp;started our family we would then have our third and last child. We are a&nbsp;happy loving family and as for returning to continue living that amazing&nbsp;life in Thailand, we decided that at the beginning of this year we would&nbsp;head back to Bangkok with our family of 5, buy a house and live the simple&nbsp;life again. Well that\'s where it hit us. Going from a single couple to&nbsp;having a young baby living in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok we could&nbsp;always do it, though with 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 1, life had hit us in the&nbsp;face and things weren\'t so easy like before.</p>\n<h3>The start of the struggle</h3>\n<p>Noticing the obvious, like trying to cross a road with a pram- a no go,&nbsp;walking through the busy streets and markets squeezing our 3 beautiful kids&nbsp;hands with grips like Popeye\' to stop people from grabbing them to say&nbsp;&lsquo;sawasdii krap\' - &lsquo;mi luk saam kon roh\'- most of the time it was&nbsp;all in good spirit, though it was bloody hectic at times as total strangers&nbsp;expected us to just hand over our children just so they can hold them. All&nbsp;in all life back in the smoke was starting to be a real struggle.</p>\n<p>We have a family friend who is a taxi driver in Bangkok who took us around&nbsp;soi after soi, mubaan after mubaan searching for a simple three bed room&nbsp;townhouse to buy. You know the kind that is posted on every bit of spare&nbsp;pavement on every soi and highway in Bangkok. Well we found our house, put&nbsp;in a deposit thinking our life was about to change for the good. Though the&nbsp;day before we were quite literally about to transfer our money across, my&nbsp;wife said I\'ll just get on the net and just find out a bit more info on&nbsp;the local schools and the area, she then came across review after review&nbsp;talking nothing but negative things about the houses built there and the&nbsp;area in general.</p>\n<h3>Property perils</h3>\n<p>We had found out that all the houses built in that area leaked and had all&nbsp;sorts of problems. There were thieves around and it flooded regularly etc. I&nbsp;even called up some of the houses for sale saying &lsquo; I\'m not interested&nbsp;to buy your house I just want to know why your selling it as I\'m in the&nbsp;process of buying a house down the street\'. They told us all the issues&nbsp;and we were pretty disappointed and walked away from going through with it&nbsp;all, losing our deposit and feeling quite heavy about it all. After working&nbsp;our backsides off for 5 years to save the money and return to Thailand to&nbsp;continue on with the dream, it was looking very shaky.</p>\n<p>We tried briefly looking for apartments/houses to rent that suited and that&nbsp;were somewhat close to the school I was to teach at, but that was to no&nbsp;avail. It was starting to become very apparent to us that life had changed&nbsp;very much over the past 5-6 years and after giving it some thought, we&nbsp;decided to put it behind us to return back to Australia - only just after&nbsp;being in Thailand for 3 months. I was bitterly disappointed as we had been working&nbsp;so hard for this to work out.</p>\n<h3>Oz is not for me</h3>\n<p>So after being back in Australia for 7 months&nbsp;now, I\'m still disappointed and can\'t settle here either whichever way I&nbsp;try. I have tried several different jobs and in my heart they don\'t really&nbsp;suit me. I guess I really just miss the Thai lifestyle I have been waiting&nbsp;so long for. I have been having some pretty heavy discussions with my wife&nbsp;about possibly giving Thailand another go, perhaps even in a different city&nbsp;or just going about it in a whole new way. Though we all know that Bangkok&nbsp;is where all the work and opportunities are.</p>\n<p>I guess this isn\'t really a brief run down after all, though it\'s as&nbsp;clear cut as I can be. So I guess my questions are: Are there families doing&nbsp;it ok in Bangkok or Thailand in general just on normal teachers wages of&nbsp;35-40k per month? That\'s the basic salary I\'ll be on- though I do intend&nbsp;to supplement my income with extra tutoring and possibly other ideas of&nbsp;coaching/training people in other things on the side. We are simple people&nbsp;who can live on the basics though just want some happiness in what I\'m&nbsp;doing career wise. My wife is still probably 1-2 years off working as our&nbsp;little one is still only one.</p>\n<h3>Questions that need answers</h3>\n<p>So we are just sitting back here umming and&nbsp;uhhhing whether to make the move again and give it another shot. I would be&nbsp;confident our kids would settle as our 5 year old understands Thai, though&nbsp;he is shy to speak it, he can read and write basic things for his age. I&nbsp;know there are families all over Bangkok and Thailand alike getting by&nbsp;though are they because that\'s their only option or are they really doing&nbsp;it because they like it and want to?</p>\n<p>I\'ve always wanted my children to be enveloped by Thai culture and&nbsp;understand the importance of Thai etiquette. Though people here in Australia&nbsp;think I\'m crazy wanting to move my family to Thailand, as after all&nbsp;Australia is a nice place and it makes sense to live here like every other&nbsp;puppet who is trying to do the same thing. But deep in my heart I know the&nbsp;people here haven\'t had the experiences I\'ve had and they simply don\'t understand what&nbsp;else is out there.</p>\n<p>In your opinion is Bangkok a place to raise a family or&nbsp;is it a single man\'s game? I\'m hoping you have met and/or come across&nbsp;people in the same boat as me. Please enlighten me with some knowledge&nbsp;either good or bad- it\'s been an up and down year so I can take the ride.</p>\n<p><strong>Adam Williams</strong></p>\n<p>Phil, ajarn.com says - Thank you Adam for sharing your story with us.

So it seemed a better idea to write you an open letter. I am writing this in the hope that this year\'s O-NET (Ordinary National Educational Test) examinations will better assess the Mathayom 6 students than previous efforts have done.</p>\n<p>Now I understand that developing examinations is no easy task so please don\'t think that I am belittling the hard work your department do, but I do think that someone has \'dropped the ball\' in previous years and I hope, for our students\' sake, this year\'s tests \'hit the mark\'.</p>\n<h3>SAT, A Levels and the IB Diploma</h3>\n<p>Thailand O-NET exams are the equivalent of A Levels in the UK, SAT in the US and the Diploma Programme in International Baccalaureate (IB) schools. As such they not only measure educational attainment but they also come to define those academic programmes.</p>\n<p>For example; A-levels are academically rigorous, the equivalent of the 1st year of university in many countries, the IB Diploma is excellently rounded including everything from volunteer work to team projects to individual research and America\'s SAT assesses critical reading, mathematics and writing, measuring skills that are essential for success in college.</p>\n<h3>So where does that leave Thailand with its ONET exams?</h3>\n<p>Well the ONET is a multiple choice paper focusing on facts and rote learning... like I said these exams come to define the educational programmes they assess.</p>\n<p><strong>The Thai Education System</strong><br />Thailand\'s education system is in poor health, this is one thing that everyone seems to agree on. The latest WEF report puts Thailand 8th in ASEAN. <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/367922/thais-fail-in-wef-education-report\">An interesting article in the Bangkok Post</a> covers this.</p>\n<p>And in the last PISA rankings Thailand came in below the international standard and ranked 50th from 65 nations, well below numerous other nations in Asia including; Singapore, China, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam. You can visit the Wikipedia website for <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programme_for_International_Student_Assessment#2012\">more info on this</a>.</p>\n<p>But for everyone\'s agreement on the problem, we\'ve seen little in the way of intelligent solutions. There was the IT solution a couple of years ago, a free tablet for every child... arguably Thailand\'s biggest waste of educational funding.</p>\n<p>Before that we had the full-scale adoption of child-centered learning - a great idea badly executed with very little training or professional development for the teachers in Thailand\'s schools. It looked good in theory but the situation in 90% of Thailand\'s schools never changed with teacher-focused rote-learning marching on triumphantly.</p>\n<p>The other solution that politicians love to put forward is the need for a new curriculum, sure the Thai curriculum isn\'t perfect but it isn\'t that bad. If you compare the expected outcomes of the core subjects with those in other countries they aren\'t so different.</p>\n<p>In my opinion, the two areas that need to be urgently improved are professional development and educational assessments - and that is where NIETS could help save the day.</p>\n<h3>A New Format for the O-NET</h3>\n<p>Perhaps someone at NIETS could look into adopting a new format for the test. The main problem with the multiple choice O-NET examinations is that they do not encourage students to develop critical thinking or communicative skills. Students that wish to do well in these exams need to remember facts, formulas and be exam ready.</p>\n<p>Tutor schools are big business in Thailand and they are fueled by the students\' (or is it the parents\'?) desire to succeed in this multiple choice test. There is no incentive for students to develop research skills, writing skills or critical thinking skills because the O-NET isn\'t going to be testing these skills. Sad because these are the skills which are necessary for success in quality universities and the 21st Century workplace and that leads me to another problem the O-NET is facing...</p>\n<h3>Thailand\'s Top Universities No Longer Value O-NET</h3>\n<p>When the country\'s primary examination is no longer valued by that country\'s top universities, you know something is going wrong. Can you imagine if universities stopped accepting A levels, the IB Diploma or SAT?</p>\n<p>Well that is exactly what has happened in Thailand. Thailand\'s top universities have created their own entrance exams to determine which students they will accept. As a result, many students already have their university place confirmed before the O-NETs roll around, making the exam meaningless to these students. More info on this <a href=\"http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/O-NET-exams-being-ignored-by-students-30202815.html\">can be found here</a>.</p>\n<h3>Questionable O-NET Questions</h3>\n<p>Apart from being a multiple choice test which doesn\'t test students\' communication or critical thinking skills, there may be another reason why universities are ignoring these assessments. Over the past few years there have been some rather questionable O-NET questions.</p>\n<p>Here are a few examples I found online -</p>\n<p><strong>English</strong></p>\n<p>Question 1:<br />Somchai won a lottery. He shouted, \"..........................\"<br /> a.  Yuck!<br /> b.  I don\'t mind!<br /> c.   I hope so!<br /> d.  Hooray!<br />-----------------------------<br />Question 2:<br />A : You know what! I had a bad fall in front of the building.<br />B : .....................<br /> a. Can I help you?<br /> b. How awful!<br /> c. Lucky you!<br /> d. No problem!<br />-----------<br />Question 3:<br />A : I heard you\'ve put your dog up for sale!<br /> Are you sure, you can live without him?<br />B : ........... I just want to see if someone will make an offer.<br /> a. Keep it a secret.<br /> b.That\'s  a great idea.<br /> c.It\'s just a joke.<br /> d. As you wish<br />----------------------</p>\n<p>So where shall we start? Well bad grammar (a lottery) and the use of archaic vocabulary in Question 1, is hardly a good start - I\'m sorry to break it to you but people don\'t say &lsquo;hooray\' any more.</p>\n<p>Then in Question 2 there are two acceptable answers, which one should the students chose?</p>\n<p>As for Question 3, I\'m not sure who wrote this but I suggest you check what he/she is putting in his/her coffee - this \'real life\' situation - someone trying to sell their dog for a joke... I mean really, when is this going to come in useful ?? Furthermore there are two possible answers to this bizarre conversation...</p>\n<p>But I think these idiosyncrasies pale in comparison to some of the questions in the Social Studies exam.</p>\n<p><strong>Social studies</strong></p>\n<p>Question 4:<br /> If you have a sexual urge, what must you do?<br />a) Call friends to go play football.<br />b) Talk to your family.<br />c) Try to sleep.<br />d) Go out with a friend of the opposite sex.<br />e) Invite a close friend to see a movie.<br />---------------</p>\n<p>Question 5:<br />\'Nid was a beautiful girl and many boys were after her. She rarely turned them down when asked out on a date. In the end, she had sexual relationship with a friend and showed signs of morning sickness. Worried, Nid consulted her male friend and he told her she should have an abortion. She followed his advice and died of vaginal bleeding.\'</p>\n<p>What should Nid have done to avoid her tragic end?<br />a) Preserved her virginity<br />b) Not engaged in sex because she was not mature enough<br />c) Paid attention to her studies<br />d) Not engaged in premarital sex<br />--------------</p>\n<p>Question 4 really is a strange question and I recall that the Director of NIETS came out to clear up the confusion. According to your boss the correct answer was - a) Call friends to go play football.</p>\n<p>Bearing in mind that this exam is written for both male and female students, this seems a strange answer. I mean, if students really were to follow this advice, there would be a hell of a lot of teenagers running about playing football in the middle of the night.</p>\n<p>As for Question 5, I\'m really not sure where to start....!?!?!</p>\n<p>There are plenty more examples of O-NET\'s questionable questions online <a href=\"http://asiancorrespondent.com/76664/thai-education-part-1-ridiculous-o-net-questions/\">including a great article on AsianCorrespondent.com</a></p>\n<h3><a href=\"http://asiancorrespondent.com/76664/thai-education-part-1-ridiculous-o-net-questions/\"></a>The Students Deserve Better</h3>\n<p>I really feel sorry for the Mathayom 6 students preparing for these tests. After 15 years of going through an education system which is below standard, the students must now pass a multiple choice test full of mistakes and ambiguous questions.</p>\n<p>I only hope that the exam writers at NIETS have learnt from previous mistakes - the students deserve better.</p>\n<p>Kind regards<br />Teacher Daniel<br />A Concerned Educator in Northern Thailand</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2014-01-06 02:44:42',1,'2014-01-06 02:44:42','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(20356,71,'Time management','time-management','Five tips for success','I have a few common-sense time management tips to offer for any of you newbies out there struggling to have a night on the town without stacks of work to be done nagging you in the back of your mind.','<p>One of the hardest things about teaching, especially if you\'re working for more than one school, is managing your time so that it doesn\'t manage you. I certainly won\'t lie and say I\'m an expert at time management; I\'ve been known to cut deadlines pretty close, especially in my university days. Still, being able to finish what you need to do without it interfering with your after-school life is, to me, one of the most important parts of enjoying teaching in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Even if you\'re lucky like me and have only a handful of classes with under 30 students per class in a high school (and I realize I\'m quite lucky), when you consider the amount of planning it takes to make meaningful lessons, set exams, grade papers, and deal with student issues, you\'re looking at a long day. &nbsp;That\'s not even taking into account having to deal with \"office politics,\" last-minute administration requirements, and other \"emergencies\" that seem to pop up in Thai schools on a daily basis.</p>\n<p>Taking all of this into account means you need to practice how you use your time, or else you\'re going to spend every waking moment playing catch-up.<br />I\'ve made it a point not to take school work home unless absolutely necessary; in fact, at least with my government school, I have only had to take home papers to grade one time in almost two years. I\'m borderline neurotic about it; even if I do bring something home, the chances of me actually DOING it are, well, nill.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Granted, I have to do lesson planning for all of my outside-school classes frequently, but the good thing about most classes I\'ve taught is that they frequently overlap regardless of the class topic or title. I say, why do the same thing twice?</p>\n<p>Thus, I have a few common-sense time management tips to offer for any of you newbies out there struggling to have a night on the town without stacks of work to be done nagging you in the back of your mind.</p>\n<p>First, save everything. It doesn\'t matter what subject you teach, what lessons you plan, or what schools you\'re working with. Student grade spreadsheets, PDF worksheets you make/find, random word lists... save it. I can\'t count the number of times a worksheet or lesson from another school or class has come in extremely handy with something months down the road. If you bother typing or otherwise creating something, save it.</p>\n<p>That said, second, organize everything. I may be the world\'s worst when it comes to organizing physical papers, but when it comes to computer documents (and let\'s face it, that\'s the easiest way to keep materials on hand these days), I\'m as spot-on as a German train timetable. I know many teachers (both in Thailand and not) who do have what they need, but spend so long trying to find it that they just give up and remake whatever it was. I also highly recommend installing Microsoft Skydrive, Dropbox, or any other cloud-based storage solution; while I resisted it for years, there\'s a lot to be said for A) not having to walk back to another office to get a file, and B) avoiding hard drive crashes. I\'ve been privy to both.</p>\n<p>Paper-wise, I do my absolute best to make sure I don\'t keep any student papers any longer than I have to without returning them. It\'s easy to have mountains of paper pile up, so your best bet is to grade it, and unless you have a reason to keep it, give it back immediately. Even if you don\'t lose a paper yourself, in many Thai schools with shared offices, things are bound to get moved around with or without your knowledge. I\'ve found accordion folders to be quite useful for those papers that I absolutely must keep.</p>\n<p>Third, if you\'ve got a lot to do, it may be best to hide until you get it done. I often feel bad that I\'m not included in the juicy gossip of the office many days, but I feel my coworkers understand that I\'d rather not have to take work home to interfere with my time with my girlfriend... and possibly happy hour. If I\'ve worked with you before and this has occurred, well, you have my apologies.</p>\n<p>Fourth, try to make worksheets and tests as easy to grade as possible. I\'m not saying to make tests easy for students, but rather to make marking their answers easy. I\'ve slowly moved towards a system of making little lines next to the number of questions meant for multiple choice or short answer questions; that way, when marking, I can simply line up an answer key next to the blanks and grade lickety-split. I\'m sure I remember teachers giving me papers like this in school, but it never occurred to me as to the purpose until I began grading myself. Obviously this won\'t work for longer answers, but if you design any assignment for easy grading, you\'ll thank yourself later.</p>\n<p>Finally, fifth: relax. There\'s nothing worse than having too much to do and not even knowing where to start. I\'m sure most of us have been there and done that. At least in Thailand, I\'ve found the best way to deal with a large workload is to take it easy, and attack one thing at a time. Sure, your desk may be overflowing with the assignments of six different classes and midterms needing grading to boot, but there\'s no point in stressing over it all. Just focus on one thing at a time and remember, it\'ll all get done eventually.</p>\n<p>That\'s a really good thing to remember: no matter how much there is to do, it\'ll all get done one way or another. So be the best teacher you can be, and try to enjoy your free time in Thailand. A stressed out teacher makes for stressed out students, so if you find yourself having difficulty keeping up, don\'t worry. If you really enjoy teaching, you\'ll find a way to fall into the swing of things.</p>','','2014-01-07 06:15:37',1,'2014-01-07 06:15:37','2014-01-07 20:08:38'),(20670,77,'Stick or twist?','stick-or-twist','Decisions, decisions, decisions','Like many other teachers I now find myself in the position where I need to make a decision about what I will do next academic year. Do I stay put? Or is it time to move on to pastures new?','<p>It\'s that time of year again.  Government schools across Thailand are entering the final stage of the second semester.  Midterms are out of the way and the countdown is beginning to final exams and the Holy Grail that is April; time off, Songkran and sunshine.</p>\n<p>Like many other teachers I now find myself in the position where I need to make a decision about what I will do next academic year.  Do I stay put?  Or is it time to move on to pastures new?</p>\n<h3>The hiring season</h3>\n<p>With many schools already advertising their upcoming positions for next year already, now is the time to get those applications in.&nbsp;If, like me, you are finding yourself at a crossroads, here are some key questions that I have been asking myself to help me make a decision.</p>\n<p>1)  Starting simple - are you happy?  Usually in Thailand (or indeed any job) this isn\'t as straightforward as it seems.  But if you can easily say &lsquo;No, I\'m not happy\', then you need not read on - go and get yourself a job where you will be happier.</p>\n<p>2)  Conversely, you should be considering - are your school happy with you?  They may have made your decision for you if they aren\'t planning on renewing your contract.  And don\'t assume that they will do the decent thing and give you good notice of the termination of your contract - be prepared for nasty surprises!</p>\n<p>3)  Are you prepared to stay in the same city/province/country?  Plenty of expat teachers do so to enable them to travel, and that\'s fine.  However, if you want to break free from the negative stereotype of traveler teachers often leaving schools in the lurch midway through the term with no notice, now is the best time to start making plans for your next destination.</p>\n<h3>Money talks</h3>\n<p>4)  Are you happy with your rate of pay?  Sadly the majority of schools pay the bare minimum of 30k a month - a manageable amount that we have all coped with and got by on - but there are options out there beyond the breadline.  With some experience you now have some leverage to try to get a pay increase if you are staying on at the same school (good luck, ahem...) or perhaps raising your limitations and looking at those jobs that offer over and above the baseline.  Being a good teacher that ticks all the relevant boxes and having a bit of experience sets you in good stead to go for a more competitive position.</p>\n<p>5)  Are you getting paid for April?  April is a point of debate in the teaching in Thailand field with a variety of experiences among many teachers - some get paid a full 12 months throughout the year, others are put onto 11 months contracts that omit the month of April.  Some schools promise payment for April upon renewal of a contract and on the premise that the teacher comes back to work in person in May.  Some schools make the teacher come in every day outside of Songkran.  It\'s a real mixed bag.</p>\n<h3>Does your school love you?</h3>\n<p>It\'s not just about the money - there are plenty of summer camps out there if you want to keep earning through the April break - but it does show how much (or little) your school value you as a teacher which may help you to reach your decision.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of other questions that you should be asking yourself right now; Have I achieved everything I wanted to at my current school?  Are my school taking advantage of me or treating me unfairly?  Am I going insane from being the only farang in my cowboy town in the back of beyond?</p>\n<p>With the current political instability in the country it is likely that there will be fewer people seeking work from overseas and those of us already here may have a wider choice than usual as schools start to see people pulling out of pre-arranged placements.  So why not take advantage of this and go for that job you\'ve been dreaming of?  I know what I\'m going to do...</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2014-01-09 03:03:49',1,'2014-01-09 03:03:49','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(20677,83,'On Bangkok','on-bangkok','Falling in love again with this unique city','Bangkok is left to its own devices. The planning is horrible so the city is left to grow naturally. It is ugly, sprawled, and terrifying to drive in, but it is also so human.','<p>I remember when I first arrived in Thailand. It was a moment I had been preparing for all summer. I had done my research; paid a significant amount for flights, vaccinations, and travel insurance; and watched The Beach multiple times, though I never got around to reading the Alex Garland novel.</p>\n<h3>Into the furnace</h3>\n<p>Now, here I was. I had heard much about the infamous Khao San Road: a land of backpackers, cheap hotels, free flowing beer, and fun parties. I took a taxi from the airport and sat in anticipation. I was still jet lagged from my flight and looked forward to a night of carousing followed by a long rest. And then, my taxi arrived and I experienced it: appalling humidity and banality. This was it.</p>\n<p>The hotels were relatively cheap (go to the Thai provinces and you will find decent rooms for 150 baht) and there were a lot of backpackers, but the hotels were dirty and most people were not all that interesting. They were not here to travel or experience Thai culture. They just viewed Thailand as a developing country where they could indulge in cheap Bacchanalia. And God the humidity. I had survived a summer in Saint Louis, USA, but this was too much. I did not see how anyone could like Krung Thep.</p>\n<h3>Getting out of Dodge</h3>\n<p>After spending a few days in Bangkok and Samut Prakan, I traveled to Koh Samui. Yes, it was touristy and developed, but at least it was beautiful. On Koh Tao, a few days later, I enjoyed some great scuba dives and met some interesting people. I traveled southeast to Koh Chang and Trat, where I later taught for a year. My favorite place was Chiang Mai, where the environment was beautiful and local people and travelers alike were friendly.</p>\n<p>I enjoyed Thailand so much that I decided to extend my vacation and work there for an entire year. I chose to work in Trat Town, since it was near islands and I liked the small town feel of the area. Thailand was wonderful, but I had no plans to return to Bangkok, a place I perceived as devoid of the usual Thai charms.</p>\n<p>Before I settled down in Trat, I interviewed at several places in Bangkok, and I dreaded every day spent there. I never thought that I would like Bangkok, with its smells, feral dogs, traffic, and ugly buildings. And then, something happened. I visited Bangkok several months later and looked forward to nothing but the possibility of western food. However, when I arrived I found that I really liked Bangkok.</p>\n<h3>Falling in love again</h3>\n<p>I had been working for a few months, so money was not as big of an issue, which allowed me to stay in a nice hostel in Silom and enjoy the area around Sukhumvit. But, I even liked Khao San when I went back there later. I found things I used to find repellent to be charming. The chaos, smells, and contradictions of Bangkok intrigued me instead of assaulting me. I enjoyed being in the sprawling metropolis, warts and all. Bangkok was the same, but I viewed it differently.</p>\n<p>Now, nearly a year later, I like Bangkok even more. I do not know what changed. For some reason, I perceive Bangkok completely differently than I used to. I love almost everything about it. I hate shopping, but I like the contradiction of the luxury shopping malls sitting right across from the temples and pagodas. So what if there is no sidewalk space; the food blocking your way is delicious and worth having to brave the Bangkok traffic. The river may be septic and brown, but it has its own charms. The noise and ubiquitous billboard advertisements are annoying, but they are a small price to pay for being in the City of Angels.</p>\n<h3>Acquired taste</h3>\n<p>Bangkok is a city entirely free of self-awareness or apology and I really like that, though I am not entirely sure why. The contradictions of the city make me feel more content with the contradictory ideas and desires in my own mind, and in the actions of other people. Everything contains multitudes, and I like that Bangkok\'s are not concealed.</p>\n<p>Despite Thai peoples\' obsessions with appearances and saving face, Bangkok is left to its own devices. The planning is horrible so the city is left to grow naturally. It is ugly, sprawled, and terrifying to drive in, but it is also so human. Like something organic, Bangkok grows and changes on its own. It is not an image you fall in love with at first sight. Instead, Bangkok is an acquired taste.

They take this tradition from an astrological rule.','<p>I taught at a private school in Hat Yai for nearly seven months and I loved every minute of it. One thing I noticed was that every day the Thai teachers wore different colour uniforms. I thought it seemed a little strange, but I dismissed it and decided I just needed to get used to a different country\'s school culture.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Colleen1.JPG\" width=\"224\" /></p>\n<p>A few months later, I was talking with a few Thai teaching assistants and one of them mentioned something about each day being a different colour. We chatted briefly but I think something was lost in translation because I remember how I was trying to match the Thai word for Monday (Wan Chan) and the Thai word for yellow (Si-Looung) which was the colour associated with Monday and not seeing the connection so again dismissed it.</p>\n<p>That was nearly a year ago. I now live on the island of Koh Samui. (Lucky me, I know.) My main job is a writer for the island\'s main publishing company but I still teach English part time. I did my TEFL course here on the island back in Aug 2012 and because I live on the island, I tend to sometimes meet the current group of students. A recent student was Thai (although he grew up in America) and he brought the topic up in a Facebook discussion.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Colleen2.JPG\" width=\"224\" /></p>\n<p>He explained that the Thai people have a tradition in that they believe it brings good luck to wear certain colour clothing on certain days throughout the week. They take this tradition from an astrological rule (which has influence from Hindu mythology) that assigns a colour to each day of the week based on the colour of the god that actually protects that day.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve been to Thailand before, you\'ll notice that the colour of the flag of the King, His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand, is yellow and that is because he was born on a Monday and the associated colour is yellow.</p>\n<p>So here are the colours, names and other associations with each day.</p>\n<p><img height=\"237\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/daychart2.jpg\" width=\"450\" /></p>\n<p>The Thai week is a 7-day period and starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday. Days of the week are named after the first seven of nine Hindu astrological influences.</p>\n<p>So now I know, and while I don\'t necessarily believe in these gods, it certainly makes great bonding opportunities with the locals, when you can show you are wearing the &lsquo;lucky\' colour of that day. So next time you get ready for work, check the colour table and make sure you wear the colour associated for that day and you might just &lsquo;guarantee\' good luck to come your way.</p>\n<p><img height=\"224\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Colleen3.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<hr />\n<p>You are also most welcome to visit my <a href=\"http://www.writearoundtheworld.me/\">personal blog</a>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-01-13 04:14:28',1,'2014-01-13 04:14:28','2014-01-13 18:06:29'),(21136,80,'Children\'s day','childrens-day','What this special day should really signify','One of the nicest aspects of living in Thailand is the way in which it embraces its children and families.

Bangkok offers an impressive array of activities for children from Dusit Zoo to iceskating, from Lumpini Park to the Aquarium but they are only accessed by a small minority of Thailand\'s children.</p>\n<h3>Cultural differences</h3>\n<p>Children\'s Day is a lovely idea and everywhere seems to celebrate it. Our local \'moo baan\' shopping mall had a bouncy castle and free face painting, the local supermarket gave away freebies such as milk to passing children. All over Bangkok, there were events large and small in honour of Children\'s Day.</p>\n<p>Coming from the UK and dealing with strict child protection laws, I have always felt uneasy about the constant picture taking of my child. We were in Rayong last April and the beach was empty except for a few local people, suddenly I looked up and my two year old had vanished. I panicked, calling his name and seconds later he comes running out from behind a palm tree where a lady was taking his picture. The language barrier meant no remonstration was possible but also the cultural barrier meant my concerns would be also lost.</p>\n<h3>Exploitation</h3>\n<p>Thailand may have an official Children\'s Day in the calendar but it still remains high on the list of United Nations transit hubs for trafficked children. In 2010, the Thai Government acknowledged \'weak inter-agency cooperation\' and promised to do more in its second six-year strategy against human trafficking. The numbers of children exploited for labour and sexual purposes is rising, one reason may be Thailand\'s geographical position but also its relative wealth compared to its neighbours. Thailand is easily accessed from Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar making cross-boarder trafficking easy. It\'s easy to say Thailand must do more, but how?</p>\n<p>Training is needed for the agencies working at ground level and with UNICEF estimating that as many as 50% of all trafficking victims worldwide are children and that as many as two thirds of those children are at some point forced into the sex trade. Thailand could be at the forefront, leading in child protection and anti-trafficking measures in ASEAN.</p>\n<h3>Disturbing stats</h3>\n<p>According to UNICEF, two children are SOLD every minute and not just by strangers but also family members. Lisa Rende Taylor, chief technical advisor for UNIAP (United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking) for Southeast Asia, said \"children are being rented or sold by their families or guardians, and then controlled in order to make money for someone, and whether or not permission was granted, these children are victims of trafficking\" . Most of the street beggars and flower sellers are Cambodian or Burmese children, you don\'t have to walk very far in Bangkok or the busier resorts to see trafficked children.</p>\n<p>I am under no illusions, child trafficking isn\'t just the domain of SE Asia, it happens all over the world and in the UK too. Thailand has a respect for its children and unlike the UK, Thai children enjoy a special status within society. But this status cannot just be attached to the minority, it must be applied to all children.</p>\n<p>Thailand can use Children\'s Day in two ways, not only as a celebration of its children but also to raise awareness of trafficking. Child Protection policies need to be implemented in all government departments across education, health and law enforcement agencies to identify children who are victims of exploitation.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.irinnews.org/\">Humanitarian News and Analysis</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-01-13 22:06:44',1,'2014-01-13 22:06:44','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(21321,20,'Surviving Thailand\'s roads','surviving-thailands-roads','How to avoid becoming just another statistic','Most Thais do not have any understanding or desire to learn road safety. If you grew up in my generation you had Tufty and his gang drilling the green cross code into your brain, and those lessons never get forgotten as the years pass by.','<p>Over the last decade that I have spent residing in this tropical paradise, there is one thing that grates my nerves day in and day out. Very simply put, I have a passionate hate for Thai drivers and I would like to offer some advice to any newcomers to these distant shores. If you take heed of any of my observations, it could lead to your survival and lessen your chances of become flattened and mutilated on the tarmac like so many of those discarded rats that you see from time to time, And of course going home in a wooden overcoat.</p>\n<h3>A second chance?</h3>\n<p>You have to understand that most Thais do not have any coherence, understanding or desire to learn road safety. If you grew up in my generation you had Tufty and his gang drilling the green cross code into your brain, and those lessons never get deleted as the years pass by. But in this part of the world they do not have the idea that we only have one life - and life should be cherished just as Westerners think it should.</p>\n<p>The Thai understanding is that there is a continuous cycle of birth, death and rebirth, yet it seems very few spend their days trying to break from this cycle and are happy to return in some life form or another; be it a human or non-human.</p>\n<p>The first lesson I\'ll give should be common sense to anyone. Do not drink and drive!!! You know you\'d lose your license back home, but it doesn\'t matter over here because you\'re on holiday or you can pay the police to turn a blind eye. That doesn\'t work with me. A loaded gun on a table is not dangerous at all, it cannot shoot itself, so cannot harm anyone. The same goes for a parked car; it is not dangerous until an idiot gets behind the wheel. In my opinion; if you drink drive and kill someone it should be put down as class one murder. So if you plan to have a night drinking with your friends arrange for your transport home at the evening\'s end.</p>\n<h3>Keep a lid on it</h3>\n<p>The second lesson is also an obvious one, but if you don\'t pay attention to it in the tourist areas you will face a fine (a minimum of 300 baht, which could rise depending on the mood of the officer that stops you) Wear a helmet! Some of the helmets you can buy are very thin plastic and you\'d be just as well protected wearing a banana skin, so fork out and pay for a decent lid.</p>\n<p>If you do fall off and bang your head, you could be lucky and survive - or spend the rest of your life with severe brain damage. I had to attend a funeral of one of my students once that fell under a bus and had his head crushed as the bus pulled away and the driver hadn\'t noticed the accident behind him. I do believe he might have survived had he been wearing a decent helmet. The same goes for riding a bike around in your swimsuit. Are you crazy? Get your tan by the beach, but protect yourself on the roads. If you don\'t believe me just check the statistics of road accidents in this country.</p>\n<p>Now I\'ll try to explain some of the ideas that Thai people have about the road. Not so long ago Thailand was a feudal state. The common people were slaves and had to make way for the village chief as he strolled along the streets. Some people still have this mentality and feel that as you are of a lower class you should get out of their way. So when someone pulls out onto a main road from a subsidiary road right in front of you while you\'re screeching on the brakes and pounding on the horn, you have to understand that he feels he has the right of way because he is a government official or comes from a wealthy family. A lot of Thai citizens are aware of this and that is one of the reasons that they drive on the outside lane, even if they are just cruising and not trying to overtake another driver.</p>\n<h3>Keep your distance</h3>\n<p>The next bunch of road-hogs to look out for are those that drive for a living: tuk-tuk drivers, songteaws, taxis, motorbike taxis and the numerous delivery boys. Because they drive all day long they feel that they are kings of the road and can do what they want. So my advice is to keep a safe distance and look out for someone standing by the side of the road calling for a tuk-tuk because the driver will swerve across the road to pull in before he looks in the mirror or bothers to signal. The same for the songteaw; look out for someone ringing the bell to stop the vehicle and this will give you enough time to slow down and avoid an accident. Anticipation is key.</p>\n<p>The early morning traffic is another thing to watch out for. Many Thais who work for a company will be fined if they are late for work. This explains why the guy in his car is right up your backside and trying to pass you so that he can just sit behind the car in front of you and fill the gap that was your safe breaking distance. The simplest thing to do is just let him pass and create the space you had before. Don\'t flip the bird at him, as you have nothing to gain (I know it\'s tempting, but that can lead to some serious confrontations and a lot of drivers carry guns).</p>\n<p>I\'d only been here for a couple of months before noticing how awful life on the roads was. I made a very quick assumption that the Thai populace learns how to drive by watching the formula one Grand Prix. And that is the very reason why they like to overtake on the corners. A simple fact (I can verify this by the hours I\'ve spent quizzing my students about road signs) is that 99% of Thais don\'t know the meanings of the road signs and street markings.</p>\n<p>They don\'t know the meaning of a no-entry sign, one way street, give-way signs or the fact that a red light does actually mean stop and to wait for the green light. Most drivers seem amazed when you approach a roundabout and let them go rather than try to go for it and get in front of them; as in my understanding and education they do have the right of way, so I adhere to the rules I have learnt.</p>\n<h3>Learning from an early age</h3>\n<p>The main conclusion I have come to over the years is that the problem lies in the simple fact that in the villages, an eight year old boy is encouraged by his father to learn how to ride a motorbike so he can buy his dad\'s cigarettes or bottle of beer. They learn that the throttle makes them go and the break makes them stop, but they can\'t actually stop because their feet can\'t touch the ground.</p>\n<p>Forget about looking in the mirrors because in Asian beliefs mirrors are used to catch ghosts and spirits (that\'s why they have mirrors on the fronts of their houses). So once they\'ve learnt how to operate their mode of transport they don\'t pick up a book to learn any road signs and this will not change until the government takes responsibility and adopts Tufty\'s messages to educate the masses. Or the police start to stop underage motorists and impose strong fines to deter all of the country\'s citizens for not adhering to the rules of the road.</p>\n<p>There are many other points that make driving a car or riding a bike in this part of the world dangerous. An entire family of three or four generations on the same two wheels, blabbering on the phone or sending text messages whilst speeding along at 100 kmph, a lack of a serious driving test or the unmotivated police to enforce the law, unless it\'s at the end of the month and they need a few extra baht. But I advise you to always stay calm and avoid conflicts, it\'s not worth risking your life for.</p>\n<p>What you can do is either drive or ride as crazily as they do, which will give you a larger chance of never returning home in one piece or the better solution is to lead by example and show them that there is a better and safer way. If you do feel yourself getting vexed it is much better to pull over and let everyone else speed on to their destinations. Take five and just chill.</p>\n<p>Drive safely!</p>\n<p>Stephan Cannon</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/accident.gif','2014-01-22 06:56:14',1,'2014-01-22 06:56:14','2018-04-15 03:03:22'),(21386,10,'Wedding day blues','wedding-day-blues','The invitation card has landed','Oh no, my wife has just come home and plonked an envelope on my work-desk.

It\'s not a bank statement and it\'s not junk mail (I only wish it was) One glance at the familiar scented, pink envelope tells me all I need to know. It\'s an invitation to a Thai wedding. And there\'s no way I\'m getting out of it.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to come across as an old grumpy boots, but words can\'t express how much I hate Thai weddings. Apart from the fact that it\'s the union of two people whom I barely know, it\'s the sheer depressing predictability of it all.</p>\n<p>Weddings are always held on a Saturday night, which means I don\'t get to see the Premier League football. They are always held at some non-descript three or four-star hotel in the most ridiculous and inconvenient locations. The last Thai wedding reception I went to - just four months ago - was at a hotel in the middle of Pratu Naam, quite possibly the most congested area of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know what the bride and groom were thinking, but I couldn\'t fathom out the logic behind making three hundred wedding guests have to negotiate a maze of small sois and some of Bangkok\'s worst traffic to be present and correct for the six &lsquo;o\' clock start.</p>\n<p>So after numerous wrong turns, you eventually locate the hotel in the middle of nowhere, wake up the security guard and he directs you to a neglected and unloved floor of the multi-storey car-park - and all the time you are muttering and moaning because it\'s far too hot to be &lsquo;dressed up to the nines\' and choking in a collar and tie.</p>\n<p>You park the car and make your way to the elevator. No, that\'s the storage bay. Ah, here\'s the elevator. Press the button for lobby or reception. Well done! You\'ve taken those first steps on the journey to getting hopelessly lost inside the hotel. You approach the reception desk, enquire about the wedding you\'ve been invited to, and after checking reams of computer printout paper, the receptionist announces that the wedding party is on the 16th floor. So it\'s back to the elevator again.</p>\n<p>You emerge from the elevator to find yourself standing on the periphery of the main function room. This is the area that\'s been decorated and festooned with pastel-pink bows and ribbons and the air hangs heavy with the overpowering scent of some sickly-sweet perfume. Here we go - once more into the breach dear wedding guest.</p>\n<p>Thoughts gathered, it\'s time to approach the wedding reception table - and that carefully-selected group of family members who are there to welcome you, hand you your little wedding souvenir, make sure you write a comment in the wedding book, but most importantly, make sure that you hand over your monetary contribution in the invitation envelope.</p>\n<p>Oh, did you think you were invited just so you could eat your fill, down copious amounts of free whisky and then just disappear into the night?</p>\n<p>Then of course it\'s time for a photo. Every guest has to have a photo taken with the bride and groom as the nervous couple stand stiffly under an archway of pink roses or something equally ostentatious. Those are the rules. Aunts in pastel-coloured dresses, uncles in shiny suits and cousins with ridiculously over-gelled hair, all line up to offer the happy couple their best &lsquo;wai\' and barely audible congratulations.</p>\n<p>It\'s usually at this moment I cast a quick glance around the room to see if I have a &lsquo;soul-mate\' - another foreigner that I can smile at or nod to, simply to acknowledge that we are two kindred spirits suffering the same ordeal. Alas, once again I am the only person lending the occasion an international flavor. I am alone - the only farang in the house.</p>\n<p>I put on a brave face, pose for a photograph and offer my best wishes to the B and G. They smile back, there\'s a blinding camera flash, and I walk off-stage as the couple look at each other and wonder who in God\'s name that foreigner was?</p>\n<p>The rest of the evening\'s events are formulaic to say the least. You know exactly what\'s coming. The sit-down meal will be what\'s referred to in culinary circles as &lsquo;Chinese table\' - eight or nine courses of disappointment that I can\'t be bothered to list - all washed down with watered-down whisky and soft drinks that have long lost their fizz.</p>\n<p>Table conversation among strangers is limited to either passing comments or awkward silence.</p>\n<p>At some stage in the proceedings, there is usually a large-screen &lsquo;wedding day\' video that springs forth from a cluttered computer desktop, with Lionel Ritchie\'s &lsquo;Three Times a Lady\' as the musical accompaniment. And there will be a couple of speeches from gentlemen, each with a distinct lack of personality and charisma, and possessing all the comic timing of the speaking clock.</p>\n<p>Mercifully, once the cake has been cut and all the guests have stood up to raise their glasses three times, the younger members of the audience start running around playing kiss-chase (or whatever children play these days) and it\'s a signal that the event is winding down and one can safely slip away unnoticed and without effusive goodbyes.</p>\n<p>Judging by the manner in which you have to squeeze into the elevator at the end of the night, there are clearly plenty of guests with the same idea. Never outstay your welcome - that\'s what I say.</p>\n<p>The most disagreeable aspect of the whole charade - and I\'m going to allow myself a little dig at Thai culture here - is that these weddings are seldom planned with the marrying couple in mind. They are organized and paid for by the couple\'s parents purely to keep relatives and friends of parents happy. It\'s not unknown at these wedding events for the bride and groom to have not the slightest inkling of who a large percentage of their guests are. And this is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives and all that jazz!</p>\n<p>I\'ve probably been to about 20 weddings during my time in Thailand. There isn\'t a single one of them that stands out. I\'ll see a photo of my wife\'s friend on Facebook and my wife will say \"don\'t you remember we went to her wedding at such and such a hotel. She married a doctor with glasses\" &nbsp;The hotel, the doctor, the glasses - to me they\'re just 20 forgettable nights when I would have rather stayed home. And I\'m sure the 21st will offer nothing different.</p>\n<p>I got married ten years ago. Or is it eleven? But one thing is for sure - I was the luckiest man on earth to marry a Thai woman who hates all of the above even more than I do. When we sat down to plan our wedding day, we had clear objectives in mind right from the start. We wanted an informal wedding day that would be attended only by people we cared about - and an occasion that everyone would remember.</p>\n<p>I\'ll admit that my wife\'s mother wasn\'t too happy with our decision - she\'s a traditional Thai to the marrow - but when it became clear it was either our way or no way, she quickly came around to our way of thinking.</p>\n<p>To cut a long story short, we drove down the coastline between Petchburi and Cha\'am and looked at several possible venues before choosing the Dusit Polo Club. And for 120,000 baht (probably a tenth of what a decent wedding costs now) the Polo Club laid on a room for the wedding ceremony, gave us a dozen guest rooms at the hotel and organized a magnificent afternoon buffet right next to the beach. By 5pm it was all over and everyone was in their cars heading back to Bangkok.</p>\n<p>We didn\'t ask people for money or donations to help pay for the event. Our wedding album was a large framed cartoon picture of my wife and I (which people signed and now hangs in our house) Hell, we didn\'t even have a wedding photographer. Ask me to show you a photo album and I\'ll reach into a drawer and pull out a biscuit-tin full of unsorted photos. But it was a brilliant day and all the guests agreed that it was the best Thai wedding they\'d been to. It was quirky and fun, we knew everyone there (my family flew over from England as well) - and yes, we\'ll also treasure those memories forever.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-01-27 05:49:18',1,'2014-01-27 05:49:18','2014-01-27 20:08:19'),(21430,80,'Thai women in today\'s workplace','thai-women-in-todays-workplace','Thailand has an impressive number of females in management positions','Did you know that in 2012, Thailand had the third highest number of women in management positions at 39% compared to 20% in the UK and 17% in the US.','<p>Never judge a bank by its staff. I decided last week that sexism and female underrepresentation must be rife in Thailand. And I made that decision whilst waiting patiently for a very pretty female member of staff to assist me. I waited and glanced over at the Bank\'s manager, who looked bored. We did that awkward thing of looking at each other at the same time and then looking away. By the time I had been served, I was convinced she had only been hired for her looks.</p>\n<p>So I did some research and surprised myself with the findings.</p>\n<p>Did you know that in 2012, Thailand had the third highest number of women in management positions at 39% compared to 20% in the UK and 17% in the US.  The figure is on a slight downward trend but Thailand still eclipses neighbouring Japan who have an astonishingly low rate of just 19%.</p>\n<p>According to the International Business Review, female bosses have a positive impact on growth, and companies with female board members outperformed &lsquo;rivals\' in terms of returns on invested capital (66% higher) returns on equity (53% higher) and sales (42% higher)\'.  This has led to female &lsquo;quota\' numbers being considered in Europe. Thailand\'s growth in the last decade can be mirrored in the upward trend of female participation in senior management roles.</p>\n<p>In Thailand\'s political sphere, only 4% of 7,000 political positions in towns and villages are represented by women. This figure rises to 16% in the nation\'s parliament however this division may be because the economic spoils aren\'t equally divided across the whole of Thailand and some career choices are still seen as the preserve of men.</p>\n<p>The United Nations has been in situ in Bangkok since the 1970s and its effect has been wide-reaching, with the Thai government awarding Equal Rights in 1997 but this isn\'t obvious in the sexually biased employment adverts. Some argue that the laws around gender bias in areas such as sexual harassment and rape are ambiguous and the law isn\'t always applied to crimes such as domestic violence. This can be especially true in the provinces where men are still seen as the head of the family and there is a reluctance on the part of the police to intervene in &lsquo;private\' matters.</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s greatest achievement for women was the introduction of free education and access for all. Thailand is by large a literate nation with a staggering 92% of its population able to read and write. More boys attend primary education than girls but more girls finish secondary school leaving them far more likely to gain full time employment.</p>\n<p>The traditional systems of family support are still evident in Thai society with grandparents living with grandchildren and sharing the childcare duties meaning that perhaps more women are able to work. The cost of childcare is a significant factor for British mothers and this may contribute to less female representation in the work place.</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s low unemployment also contributes to higher female labour participation and this correlates to a higher proportion in senior roles.</p>\n<p>Globally, Thailand is well placed alongside its ASEAN neighbours with 15% of CEOs in the region headed by a woman, this drops to 6% in North America. This certainly provides inspiration and aspiration for Thailand\'s women.</p>\n<p><strong>Further reading:</strong></p>\n<p>Grant Thornton business report - <a href=\"http://www.internationalbusinessreport.com/files/ibr2012%20-%20women%20in%20senior%20management%20master.pdf\">women in senior management worldwide</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.undp.org/content/thailand/en/home/\">United Nations development programme in Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-01-29 04:41:47',1,'2014-01-29 04:41:47','2014-01-29 18:06:48'),(21520,82,'Finding a job in Thailand  - the basics','finding-a-job-in-thailand-the-basics','From one newbie to another','If you\'re considering coming to Thailand on your own to find work as an English teacher, I promise you can do it.','<p>If you\'re considering coming to Thailand on your own to find work as an English teacher, I promise you can do it.</p>\n<p>I have done work abroad through programs and felt limited and isolated by the experience, even though it was a good first step. I would recommend anyone who is more autonomous, especially if you have teaching experience, consider going it alone. Here are some tips to consider at each stage of the process.</p>\n<h3>Getting your TEFL/CELTA/TESOL certification</h3>\n<p>If you\'re able, consider taking the course in the country where you want to teach, the same city if at all possible. This will build your connections and give you a chance to get a feel for the area before you sign a contract. Also consider what your long-term plan is when deciding what course will suit your needs; a less involved course for short-term work and a more involved one for potential career teachers. If your are confident with your classroom management skills, online courses might satisfy the requirement while people lacking confidence may choose to take the most challenging course available. In most cases, you get what you pay for, you get out of it what you put into it, etc.</p>\n<h3>Look for jobs</h3>\n<p>There are three ways teachers generally find jobs; connections with other teachers, showing up in person at schools inquiring about work, and applying to online postings via websites like \'ajarn.com\'</p>\n<p>The pros and cons of each are as follows:</p>\n<p>Connections with other teachers is a great way to get a job as you already have the inside scoop on the school from someone you trust (at least in theory, right?). That same upside can also be a downside if that friend interferes with meeting other people or having a chance to develop your own \'face\' outside of your friendship. This is obviously a personal judgement call but worth considering since \'face\' is very important in Thailand and much of Asia. It i also worth noting that you should consider the area where the school is and try not to fall for the low-hanging fruit if it won\'t be a good fit in other respects.</p>\n<p>Instant interviews are another common way that experienced teachers find jobs. It involves researching cities you would like to teach in, showing up, asking a motorbike to take you to the best schools and going into the reception area with your CV/resume to inquire about teaching positions. It can be intimidating if you\'ve never done it before and timing is key but this method is the best way to ensure you get fair compensation and a good sense of the school prior to signing a contract. Ideally, you go to schools just before the start of either semester when schools are most often looking to fill positions.</p>\n<p>Some schools leave hiring to an agency, especially if they don\'t have enough staff with good English fluency to manage the needs of all the foreign teachers. Usually a school will tell you if they hire through an agency, but often they make exceptions if they have positions they really need to fill.</p>\n<p>Applying to online postings is a growing method of finding jobs on your own. Perhaps, in part, because it is new, it can also be the most difficult to navigate. Applying to postings online seems very efficient, but my experience has been that many inquiries go unanswered and postings are often not an accurate representation of the job or are done by agents who will lead you to believe they are from the school. As a result, I\'ve expanded on some important information that I recommend getting prior to agreeing to anything.</p>\n<p>Find out what position the person you are corresponding with holds</p>\n<p>Find out exactly where the school is if it isn\'t immediately clear</p>\n<p>Ask if there are any foreign teachers or Thai teachers you could meet prior to beginning work (they can give you a sense of the typical day or any distinguishing features of the school or the general area - it is easy to sense systemic problems by interacting with the teachers).</p>\n<p>With regards to pay, ask about base salary, housing allowance, health insurance, and whether they pay for the non-b via or work permit (it is not unusual for schools not to pay for this but, if the salary seems low, it is worth asking if they can cover that expense). Depending on the salary, it might also be worth asking about tutoring opportunities and Saturday school as a way to increase your income.</p>\n<h3>Job expectations</h3>\n<p>Ask what hours you are expected to be there, if there are gate duty responsibilities, and how many teaching hours you will have.</p>\n<p>Ask about the curriculum and the books and what is expected with regards to lesson planning.  	Ask about resources like copiers, projectors, craft and office supplies. See if there is a library  or whether the school is open to purchasing additional books that might facilitate your teaching (the importance of this will depend on the level of the students and the school\'s expectations).</p>\n<p>Ask about the policy for computer usage.</p>\n<p>Ask for the contact information for whoever you are expected to report to and be clear on the chain of command.</p>\n<p>Ask about the dress code (many schools wear particular colors on particular days) and whether the school provides food or beverages during the school day.</p>\n<p>Finally, while it should go without saying, please visit the school.</p>\n<p>It is also helpful to be familiar with Thai courtesy phrases and body language (particularly the \'wai\') prior to interviewing as it will go a long way to creating a good first impression, regardless of your experience level. You can find information about this is many places but <a href=\"http://goasia.about.com/od/Language/a/How-to-Say-Hello-in-Thai.htm\">I thought this was a good summary</a></p>\n<p>The last option I did not touch on is to go through an agency. I have personally had a bad experience with my agency (in part because they did not disclose that they were an agent until after I came to the school) and would generally just advise you to use caution when considering this option. <a href=\"/blogs/jason-alavi/the-flipside-of-teacher-agencies/\">There are some good postings on ajarn about agencies if you want to read more</a>:</p>\n<p>Coming soon: Writing a good CV</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-02-01 05:05:42',1,'2014-02-01 05:05:42','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(21568,52,'February 2014','february-2014','All the latest deals and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Thailand can be a terrific place to take a TEFL course.

I\'m a tried-and-true gadget freak, and I\'ve gotta say, once I got past my snobbery for brands I know and trust (largely due to being a starting-out teacher, aka broke), I\'m impressed.</p>\n<p>So, in the realm of living in Thailand, here\'s your friendly consumer guide to gizmos for the month. Naturally, no matter the country of branding, most gizmos and/or their parts originate from China in some form. Every time I hear someone bragging about their latest toy, I grin as I recall the line from the Russian cosmonaut in the 1998 film Armageddon: \"American components, Russian components... all made in Taiwan!\" Even so, I must admit, there are good brands and bad brands, no matter where the parts are made.</p>\n<p>That\'s what has surprised me so much of the brands in Thailand. When I moved here, with the intention to stay, I was in need of some basic appliances (rice cooker, kettle, iron), gizmos (a mobile phone, laptop), and eventually toys (speakers, espresso maker). How very American of me to say \'do I really need any of these things?\' No, but hey, I\'m an admitted electronics addict, so that\'s that.</p>\n<h3>Research is key</h3>\n<p>Generally, when I\'m looking to make a purchase of something of relative value, I\'ll research it first... read reviews online, ask around, etc. The problems I faced when moving to Thailand were that I\'d never heard of most of the brands here, and most (if any) reviews I found were written in Thai. Although I enjoy the comic effect of trying to Google Translate webpages, it\'s not exactly what I would call helpful. Sure, there are brands I recognize here, but generally the brands I used in the US are at least the same price as they are there or more in Thailand, a problem if your income is in baht and you\'re on a budget.</p>\n<p>So, I had to go against my need-an-opinion feelings, buy something, and hope for the best.  In my experience, brands that have less-than-professional packaging tend to be cheaper and often less reliable. This doesn\'t seem to be the case in Thailand, though, judging only by the packaging. Some of them are what I consider hilarious. I\'m talking to you, AJ brand - you know, the one with the random smiling old man pointing to the product on the box. I still smile when I see AJ.</p>\n<h3>Built to last</h3>\n<p>Having had many of these electronics I mentioned earlier for a year or more, I\'ve been pleasantly surprised. Sure, a kettle is basically a kettle, same goes for a rice cooker (my most versatile appliance, I may add), microwave, or refrigerator. I didn\'t expect to have any problems out of them, and for the smaller appliances, about 300-400 baht each is a very fair price for something so trustworthy.</p>\n<p>I was a bit wary of the items that I\'d never used by brands I\'d never heard of (some of which may actually <em>be </em>Chinese or otherwise) that I eventually bought... namely, a circular convection oven (MyHome brand, on sale at Tesco for 899 baht) and an induction stovetop cooker (AJ brand, Tesco, 899 baht). Both, once I figured out how to use them, have worked flawlessly well past their warranty periods. Although, if you\'re bored and needing some amusement, you should try reading the \"English\" bits of their user manuals. Priceless.</p>\n<p>More expensive items worried me a bit too. Namely, a \"real\" espresso maker. Is this a bit much for a person on a budget? Absolutely. But anyone who knows me knows that prior to my coffee, I\'m not exactly a bundle of sunshine in the morning. In the States, I had a DeLonghi machine... nothing fancy by any means, but a nice, Italian branded, trustworthy caffeine juicer. Well, mostly trustworthy... it did tend to clog from time to time, but nothing serious. Here in Thailand, the same (or similar) machine was WAY out of my tax bracket, so I started looking at two Thai brands: Otto and Zebra. I eventually settled on the Zebra (3,990 baht for a 16-bar espresso machine, The Mall Ngamwongwan) based solely on its looks and hoped for the best.</p>\n<p>For the record, I can be a bit of a coffee snob (I won\'t touch instant coffee or even drip coffee unless absolutely necessary), but I\'m totally taken by the Thai-branded Zebra machine. It actually works better than my DeLonghi machine did in the States! In well over a year, I have yet to have a single problem with it, and have since gone on to buy Zebra-branded cookware (wok, knives) that have been equally great. I\'ve since heard similar praise of the Otto brand from friends.</p>\n<h3>Try the Thai brands&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>Another example: mobile phones. I\'m a notorious klutz when it comes to keeping up with or not breaking phones, especially in the event that I have a night out. Finally, after having lost a few midrange Sony and Samsung phones (far overpriced in Thailand, in my humble opinion), I decided to give an iMobile a try. It was something like 2,300 baht at Tesco, took dual-SIM cards, and-best of all-had an antenna to watch TV. How cool is that. Sure, it was certainly not the fastest thing out there, and the screen left a lot to be desired, but for the price I paid for it, I was highly surprised.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The same can be said of the slightly upgraded subsequent versions I went through afterwards (there were a few). The last iMobile I bought (i-Style i-7, Big C, 3,990 baht) was genuinely better all-around than the Samsung Galaxy Ace I bought at twice the price (TG Fone, 8,400 baht). Granted, now that I\'m settled I upgraded to a high-end Sony, but I\'m still amazed by the value of the Thai branded iMobiles that blatantly copy the Apple \"i\" and get away with it.</p>\n<p>Sure, it may seem silly to drone on about brands of electronics, but for anyone living in Thailand on a budget, it\'s silly to pay twice the price for a brand you know versus the Thai equivalent that works as well or better. My next potential purchase on a rainy day may be a second coffee machine (don\'t judge)-one of those single-serve coffee/espresso machines similar to the Philips Senseo I love from Germany and the States. The choices are Nespresso Dolce Gusto (a brand I know and trust) and the Bangkok-based Cafecaps.</p>\n<p>Decisions, decisions.</p>','','2014-02-04 02:49:36',1,'2014-02-04 02:49:36','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(21611,74,'Say hello to technology related stress','say-hello-to-technology-related-stress','Stress comes in many forms - but how about this one?','There isn\'t an acronym for it.

It stands for technology related stress. I can\'t put my finger on why but TRS always seems different to any other form of stress.</p>\n<p>We all encounter stressful situations in our daily lives and routines - whether it\'s being late for an important appointment, running out of shaving cream or realizing you had planned to make a leek and potato pie for dinner - and you forgot to buy the leeks!</p>\n<p>I remember reading an interview in a music magazine with Ali Campbell, who at the time was lead singer with international reggae band UB40. The interviewer asked him about the stress of being in a top music band - the tours, the recording deadlines, being away from your family for months on end, etc. Ali replied with \"How can that ever be considered stressful? Show me a single, unemployed mother trying to bring up four kids on her own, that\'s what you call stress\"</p>\n<p>Ali has a point of course - there are definitely different levels of stress - but back to the main topic of this little rant - TRS (technology related stress) Trust me - it\'s different.</p>\n<h3>No red light spells danger</h3>\n<p>It all started on Friday night when having cleared my work for the day, I settled down on the sofa to watch a movie or two. I popped a disc into the DVD player, hit the TV power button - and nothing. There was no red power light and no hum or whirr coming from the back of the set. This can\'t be right I thought. This was a Panasonic plasma TV that was barely six months old and had had very little use in that time.</p>\n<p>It\'s at this point - if you\'re anything like me - that you start to do stupid things. You take the plug out of the wall socket and put it back in again. You put new batteries in the remote control unit (after you\'ve given the old batteries a good rub of course) You try plugging the TV into other electrical sockets around the house. You even try holding the remote control at different angles. None of it works. And then after about 30 minutes, you are forced to reach an inevitable conclusion - the TV is broken.</p>\n<p>This is why TRS (technology related stress) is in a league of its own - perhaps because you suddenly feel so helpless and alone in the world.</p>\n<h3>Google\'s your best friend</h3>\n<p>But you are never alone as long as you have an internet connection. So I googled &lsquo;my Panasonic TV has no power\' and found out that there were about four million Panasonic TV owners around the world with exactly the same problem.</p>\n<p>I went on TV discussion forum after TV discussion forum - but those forums are generally little help. There seems to be two types of help forum user - those who know it all and those who know less than zero. I\'m most definitely in the second group by the way.</p>\n<p>The know-it-alls are posting circuit diagrams and telling you to be careful because if you undo the wrong screw, you may well blow your house up. The hopeless TRS sufferers like me, are saying things like \"well, I\'ve given the screen a good clean with a tissue but there\'s still no power getting through\"</p>\n<p>Yes, I am that hopeless when it comes to all things technological. I shouldn\'t be allowed anywhere near it.</p>\n<h3>Panasonic to the rescue</h3>\n<p>After an exciting evening spent staring at a blank TV screen with no sound (I believe that\'s what happens when the TV has no power) I received a tip-off that Panasonic Thailand\'s customer service is second to none. If your TV is on the blink and it\'s still under warranty, men will arrive in a van, carrying bags of tools and normal service will be resumed in a jiffy. These guys are super-heroes. The only thing missing are the capes.</p>\n<p>Anyway, my wife gave the Panasonic customer service department a call on Saturday morning and the lady on the other end of the phone handled things very professionally. \"We\'ll get a couple of technicians out to you on Wednesday\" she said.</p>\n<p>Of course, I do want the TV fixed. I want nothing more in the whole world. However, these situations mean only one thing - strangers are going to come into my home. I have a phobia about strangers coming into my home (to go along with the TRS that I already have)</p>\n<p>Will these repairmen be coming in the morning or the afternoon? Countless times I\'ve told my wife to try and pin customer service departments down to a ball-park time of arrival, but \"they\'ll be there some time on Wednesday\" seems to be a perfectly acceptable answer in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Caught unawares</h3>\n<p>I have a fear of repairmen knocking on the door as I\'m in the middle of an activity. I don\'t want to hear the doorbell ring as I\'m in the middle of taking a shower or stirring a pot of soup or doing something outrageously metrosexual like giving my boxer shorts a bucket wash. And so I wander around the house in an unwashed, unshaven and famished state as I wait for the service people to arrive.</p>\n<p>And don\'t get me started on the language barrier. I can converse in Thai reasonably well but I\'m hopelessly out of my depth when things get technical. The moment I ask a repairman who\'s got the back off a TV set, if &lsquo;everything is OK?\' I know I\'m going to instantly regret it as he bombards me with the Thai words for various TV components. I end up just nodding in agreement - without for a moment knowing what I\'m agreeing with.</p>\n<p>Sure enough, two technicians in a white Panasonic van came to the house today, took the back off the TV, undid a lot of screws and told me that the problem was a blown fuse. This turned out not to be a problem at all - Mr Technician opened a compartment of his toolbox and inside were more fuses than you could shake a stick at.</p>\n<p>New fuse inserted - still no power. \"It\'s the soundboard\" said the technician \"that\'s gone as well\"</p>\n<p>I glanced hopefully at the technician\'s toolbox (ooooh matron) but apparently technicians don\'t carry replacement soundboards or soundcards or whatever the bloody hell it\'s called. The technicians told me that Panasonic customer service department would call my wife to make a new appointment - and they would return on another day.</p>\n<p>That\'s another day I\'ve got to wait at home. Will they come in the morning or in the afternoon? Will I be watching TV any time soon? It\'s all technology related stress.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-02-05 05:45:43',1,'2014-02-05 05:45:43','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(21681,57,'What\'s in a name?','whats-in-a-name','\'Everything\' say property developers','All around us these days, products and services are branded with care and precision.

That which we call a rose <br />By any other name would smell as sweet.\" </em></p>\n<p>The immortal words as recited in Shakespeare\'s Juliet, upon learning of Romeo\'s real identity. A love struck teenager may indeed think in these terms, but a modern marketer or real estate developer would reflect very differently. You see, when it comes to residential property, the name of a given building matters more than you might think?</p>\n<h3><strong>Names Evoke an Emotional Response</strong></h3>\n<p>All around us these days, products and services are branded with care and precision. This is not only done to draw attention, but also to stimulate precise feelings within consumers for whatever product or service is being hawked. It\'s been proven time and time again that clever branding really does produce positive results in businesses.</p>\n<p>Take car brands, for example. Right from the outset, Rolls-Royce named all of their early models with reference to a similar genre, that being of the super-natural, or enigmatic:</p>\n<p>&bull;	Phantom IV<br />&bull;	Silver Cloud<br />&bull;	Silver Dawn<br />&bull;	Silver Shadow<br />&bull;	Silver Spirit<br />&bull;	Silver Wraith</p>\n<p>Such names evoke certain feelings within the \"target audience\", impressions perhaps, of unearthly sophistication, silence, mystery, and power.&nbsp;At the other end of the market, some vehicle manufacturers like to sell their smaller cars with cute and cheeky names. Once again, these names are designed to influence a specific demographic. For instance, we have Honda Jazz, VW Polo, and Ford Fiesta. These are simple names chosen to interpret a feeling of fun and excitement for the younger, more childlike buyer.</p>\n<h3>Pragmatic Marketing</h3>\n<p>The choice of vehicle names from Rolls-Royce, VW, Ford, and Honda, are by no means accidental. These are carefully devised labels, selected to match specific vehicles with targeted customers. In the examples above, Roll-Royce focus on the very successful, more mature motorists, whereas Ford Fiesta, for example, aims its branding at younger, more active, and less affluent car owners.</p>\n<h3>Property Names Attract ...</h3>\n<p>The clever and often subtle naming of buildings has now made its way into the world of Bangkok real estate. And just like the motorcars, residential buildings are being named to attract a specific demographic. With so many new condominiums and increased competition going on in around the city (dominated mainly by a few big players), buildings are now being differentiated and marketed by very smart branding tactics.</p>\n<p>If you are familiar with the Thai capital, then you will know that most developers these days are constructing three types of condominium, all of which target Bangkok\'s diverse, and multicultural population:</p>\n<p>1.	The high-end<br />2.	The mid-range<br />3.	The Economy (slightly below mid-range).</p>\n<p>Anything below the economy condominium is usually found in apartment blocks, most of which house small, inexpensive studios. For apartment buildings like this, the names are not so carefully thought out. This is because accommodation of this type generally gets plenty of business without too much effort, due simply to the growing demand for budget accommodation in the city.</p>\n<h3>Bangkok\'s Branded Condominiums</h3>\n<p>Asian Properties (AP), are currently constructing condos under three brand names:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/bangkok-condos-popular-with-teachers/\">The Life@ Condos</a> are mid-range constructions aimed at a fairly young market. The Rhythm Condos are aimed at a somewhat more established and perhaps slightly older market. Their buildings are equipped with more luxurious fixtures and fittings than the Life@ projects. And <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/phetchburi-rd-condos-popular-with-teachers/\">The Address Condos</a> are fine residences aimed at a more high-end market.</p>\n<h3>Good Location Great Names</h3>\n<p>The Life@ condominiums are situated in some great locations along the BTS and MRT lines. A few examples are: Life@Sukhumvit 65, Life@Sutthisan and Life@ Sathorn. These residences are a firm favourite among younger expats looking for good value accommodation and convenience of location. Needless to say that many of our clients living in the Life@ condos are in the teaching profession.</p>\n<p>By contrast, The Address condos have more, and better facilities overall, and tend to be placed in Bangkok\'s most sort-after locations like Phrom Phong and Asoke. These things combined are obviously reflected in rental prices.</p>\n<h3>Sansiri Leading the Way?</h3>\n<p>Other developers follow suit with Sansiri (one of the biggest and best known developers in Bangkok), offering a number of brand-named buildings. These projects have been altered over the years to keep abreast of the ever-changing market conditions. Three popular names are:</p>\n<p>1.	The Plus Condominium<br />2.	Condo One<br />3.	My Condo</p>\n<p>The Plus condominium is aimed towards the mid-range market. Condo One is a project that originally came without swimming pools, and housed slightly cheaper units marketed just below the Plus. And the My Condo buildings also cut back on facilities, but do offer convenient locations along Bangkok\'s Metro network, in districts like On Nut and Ladprao..</p>\n<p>Sansiri is a very reputable developer in the world of Thai real estate, often famed for its high-end, quality condominium complexes. Because Sansiri is so highly regarded in the industry, it can afford to brand its condominiums under the company name. In Bangkok, they have the Sansiri Sukhumvit, Sansiri Residence 24, and Sansiri 31; three state-of-the-art residences along the Sukhumvit Road.</p>\n<h3>The Conclusion</h3>\n<p>The branding of residential buildings not only works, but works very well when it\'s done right. People are often proud to say they live at an Address or Sansiri condo. Naming a group of buildings under the same label also brings continuity and familiarity. Say for example, you have been living happily in a Life@ condo and were looking to move to another part of town. There\'s a very good chance you would look for another Life@ condo in the new location, not least because you would know what to expect.</p>\n<p>However, giving a name to a building, or group of buildings, is not as easy as it sounds. Getting the name wrong could mean the difference between a fully occupied and well recognised residence, and one that struggles to attract attention and business. For example, would you want to live somewhere called \"The Dump\" or \"Budget Mansion?\" Probably not!</p>\n<p>In Bangkok, we have The Tidy and The Denim residences, neither of which evokes much emotion by their names. They may well be commendable in quality and even well located, but the names are far from inspirational, so do little to arouse interest in home hunters not familiar with the buildings.</p>\n<p>Right now, where did I park \"The Benz?\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

The interview revealed China\'s  students\' success was attributed to deep commitment to teacher training, peer-to peer learning, and constant professional development, a deep  involvement with parents in their children\'s learning, an insistence by the school\'s leadership on the highest standards and culture that prizes education and respect teachers.\"</p>\n<p>This was affirmed by Grace Shangkuan Koo  who wrote an    article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer highlighting   the role of faculty development in the 4 Asian countries that topped the PISA on 2013.</p>\n<p>She wrote, \"China is top in Asia because teachers there have to participate in 360 hours of professional development each year. Repeat-360 hours! Also, cooperative consortiums are set up for the best schools to help out the poorer ones, and to capitalize on the strengths of the best teachers.  Underperforming teachers are pulled out from classrooms for a year of retraining. In fact, teachers need to go through teacher certification every five years. Those who fail in their performances have to undergo full-time training, like the pre-service teachers.</p>\n<p>In Singapore, only the top one-third of the graduating class in college can consider taking up an education degree and only one of eight candidates is accepted in the teaching profession. Teachers there are required to train for 240 hours.</p>\n<p>In Japan, underperforming teachers are pulled out from classrooms for a year of retraining.</p>\n<p>Of the many reasons mentioned above, I would like to stress the importance of  the first and the third  reasons  - commitment to teacher training and  constant professional development. These reasons remind me of a certain school year back in the Philippines. This particular school ranked number 3 in Metro Manila  in the National Elementary Achievement Test in a specific  year and the  succeeding year it ranked number 1 again out of nearly 300 schools.</p>\n<p>As a new faculty of the school, I was surprised why the students were so good. I soon found out that good school facilities, good administrators, and very good teachers contributed a lot but the one factor that contributed most was the   school owner\'s   commitment to hiring the best teachers and providing regular in-service trainings. With the school\'s tie-up with 2 other schools in the city, it tripled its degree of faculty development because when one school held seminars/workshops for its teachers, the administrators of the other two schools would suspend classes and require their faculty to attend the professional development sessions as well. So you could imagine the number of meetings the teachers would have for their in-service training.</p>\n<p>When I worked in a refugee camp in Bataan, faculty development was also intensive for all the teachers there. Before the mentors were assigned for work, they had to undergo a month-long training session to learn about the program, the strategies, and teaching methodologies. When they were in the field, team meetings were scheduled  every week wherein professional development was part of the agenda.</p>\n<p>Besides that, supervisors observed teachers every month and feedback in post conferences would follow. As part of the job description, teachers would always have a one-on-one meeting with the supervisor. Other than these, a lot of conferences were held in the camp to enhance teacher development. In fact, free masteral degree in education was offered for interested teachers. No wonder our students even in the zero level proficiency group ages 18-55 could communicate in English after just three months.</p>\n<p>In our project here in Thailand, we have two seminars a year;   one in the first term and the other in the second term. I don\'t think this is enough. Ideally, the seminars should be at   least quarterly. When seminars are held, they must also be done during schooldays. One may say it will affect the students but it is not the number of days the students study but the quality of time they spend in school with their teachers. A fully-equipped teacher with better ideas and better strategies from authoritative speakers means teaching can always be improved.</p>\n<p>Of course there are also teachers who are dedicated to their profession. They go out of their way to come up with new ideas they have gathered from readings, observations, or from colleagues. What else do teachers talk about when they are with our colleagues but    students and school matters?</p>\n<p>When seminars /workshops are conducted, they should be truly relevant to the teachers\' needs. During the seminars I attend, my fellow teachers always complain, \"It\'s the same thing, they should have given us the things we really need, the things they give us are not applicable to our classes.\"    Months before the seminar, they should have gathered input from   teachers what they needed or what they wanted to learn. Involving the teachers in determining what they want to learn   will make the teachers more attentive in the seminar, more participative and more willing to share.</p>\n<p>So, in order that students achieve and succeed in their studies, school owners, private or public, should consider faculty development as one area to give importance to. Good schools develop good teachers. Good teachers mean good students. Good student performances reflect good faculty<br />development.</p>','','2014-02-07 05:55:47',1,'2014-02-07 05:55:47','2014-02-07 20:08:48'),(21810,84,'Helmets are not fashion accessories','helmets-are-not-fashion-accessories','Wear your helmets people!','Every day, hundreds of tourists descend on Koh Samui and for the time that they are here, seem to leave their brains at home.','<p>From the second, I turned into the road, I knew something was wrong.

I was just coming out from the regular Friday evening walking street market in Bophut and even though there were normally lots of cars and bikes, it was never like this.</p>\n<p>Luckily, being on a bike, I could sneak into the space on the left and slip past the cars. Then I saw the lights and I knew - there\'d been an accident and living on Samui, it was highly unlikely this was an accident between two cars and was almost guaranteed to involve a bike. My stomach sank - a girl had just been killed on this very stretch of road last Friday.</p>\n<p>I rode slowly up towards the lights and then I saw it ... the blood. Lots and lots of blood. People were crouching over a man\'s form which was splayed awkwardly out on the road. He wasn\'t moving, he wasn\'t groaning, he wasn\'t whimpering. The only reason I knew he was alive was that someone was holding his bloodied head very still and shouting commands to other people. I felt sick. The bikes in front of me had all stopped to rubberneck and I couldn\'t go any further. As much as I didn\'t want to look, my eyes were just drawn to his limp body. What had happened? Was anyone else hurt? Was he in pain? Was he conscious? Did he have insurance? Who could contact his family? And how could anyone, ANYONE, survive with that much blood loss.</p>\n<p>I could hear sirens and realised an ambulance was on its way. I tore my eyes away with a sick feeling in my stomach. Then I realised what was missing. My head swung back to his body and I force myself to look at his head and sadly, my suspicions were right.

And I\'ve often observed that each individual teacher tends to promote and conduct the teaching style they themselves received or that is conducted in their homeland (Though, of course, personal flair accounts for a lot as well).</p>\n<p>But as I\'ve progressed in my time teaching here, and reflect on the different styles, I\'ve noticed one constant difference again and again in the way that some teachers tend to teach.  This difference is between the belief that it is of chief importance that students memorize and know all the complex and elaborate rules of grammar, and the somewhat contradictory belief that knowing the rules is not as important as basic speaking skills.</p>\n<p>Now, of course, a balance is to be found for sure between any extreme of either opinion.  Assuredly, students learning English need a balance between knowing the rules of grammar and knowing how to implement them in speech. But I personally feel that it\'s silly to teach a child complex grammatical structures when they can\'t have complex or even fluid conversation in English.</p>\n<p>There is a standard- oft applauded mainly by non-Western TESOL teachers and supervisors- whereby student achievement and fluency is not based on fluency but on a student\'s ability to recite a rule about the blah blah blah continuous tense.  And if the student is able to relay the rule, they\'re learning.  But in my experience, students recite the rule or know the rule or learn the rule and maybe even vaguely understand the rule, but then you ask them a basic question and they don\'t understand.</p>\n<p>Often, students that are made to memorize complex grammar rules are not anywhere near the level where they can fathom and really implement it.  It seems a bit foolish to me, to be honest.   I think the focus should be, first, on their ability to have basic conversation and understand basic vocabulary.</p>\n<p>Maybe it\'s a matter of personal style.  Maybe there is no right answer. Perhaps it varies by student, even, and some students truly will fair better and learn when they\'ve learned the grammar rules first.

I was fortunate in that I landed in a school where my agency had all the lesson plans laid out for us already. I could have just used them verbatim, but the thing is, they were written by another teacher. That teacher had a different teaching style than I do.</p>\n<p>There were different classroom dynamics involved. A canned lesson plan doesn\'t work. You can and should certainly use the preplanned objectives and materials, but I think a teacher needs to at the very least, plan their own activities. When I\'d done that well ahead of time, things were great. When I succumbed to my occasional weakness for procrastination and found myself trying to figure out what to do for the next period 30 minutes before it started, my lessons ended up far too ad hoc and stilted to be effective. Students can sense when you\'re unprepared, and they don\'t like it.</p>\n<p><strong> How the Teacher Talks:</strong> I\'m up there speaking in a foreign language. Despite the fact that they\'re paying me 2x to 3x what a Thai teacher makes so that I can talk to them like an NES, I can\'t address the class the same way I would speak to a class of native speakers. I\'m not advocating speaking in pigeon or like a lot of Thais speak English (Thinglish), but when it comes to pace, annunciation and inflection, I had to learn how to speak to my Thai students so that they could understand me. Took me a few months to learn that.</p>\n<p><strong> Not Laying Down the Law:</strong> Half my classes were teaching M-1\'s (7th graders). I would say after a year of doing this, that there could be no more unruly lot of human beings in any situation than 35 twelve-year-old boys (I teach at an all boys school) who\'ve learned they can walk all over the adult whose been put in charge of keeping them in line. I experienced watching assault and robbery right in front of me. Boys sustained injury while I was their teacher.</p>\n<p>That was early on. Took me a while, but I learned how to use expulsion from the classroom (GO SIT OUTSIDE!), my tone of voice and facial expressions to instill respect and a bit of fear. I\'m still not a master at classroom control, but when I was very new, I was perhaps a bit afraid to be the mean teacher. I wanted to be the nice, fun teacher that kids learned from because they liked me. I still enjoy being that kind of teacher too, and it is great when I can, but it\'s impossible to be so without first getting their respect, and yes, a little bit of fear.</p>\n<h3>What Went Right:</h3>\n<p><strong> Enthusiasm for the English Language.</strong> I mentioned briefly my previous, unfulfilling career. I used to be an appliance salesman at a big department store. Was quite good at it for near on two decades. One thing that led to my success in that job was a real passion for what I was selling. It may sound unlikely that anyone could be fascinated and excited about the latest developments in laundry or refrigeration products, but as a peddler of those devices, I knew that if I were truly in love with this $2000 refrigerator, then my enthusiasm would rub off and my clients would come to feel that way too.</p>\n<p>I\'ve found it to be much the same \'selling\' English. When I started, sure, as an occasional blogger and someone who enjoys writing, I thought English was pretty cool. Since I\'ve started teaching it, however, I\'ve gained a new fascination for that quirky, versatile, beautiful and occasionally frustrating language that I was fortunate enough to absorb as an infant.</p>\n<p>Here\'s an example. At least once a week, in one of my classes, I will start my lesson with this little spiel: \"Do you know what my favorite thing about the English language is?\" By now, of course, they\'ve learned that Teacher Joko\'s favorite thing about English is the prefix and suffix. They\'re amazing things! Tack on a couple of letters to a root word and you have a whole new word, and if you know what the prefix or suffix means, you know the meaning of the new word! It\'s formulaic! It\'s amazing! Now, I will admit, when I began using this motivational tool, I couldn\'t rightly say that prefixes and suffixes were my favorite thing about English, but having told that to students (who believed me when I said it), I\'ve kinda come to feel that way.</p>\n<p>My point is that as a teacher of English, I\'ve been a lot more effective in that role by fostering my own love of the language. Relative pronouns have replaced refrigerators. Transition words have taken over for dishwashers. Washers and dryers are now prefixes and suffixes. Love what you\'re teaching (or selling) and you\'ll do it a lot better.</p>\n<p><strong> Maintaining Engagement:</strong> Let me start by saying that I\'ve encountered no experience more deflating and frustrating than realizing as you look out over 25 to 35 students to whom you\'re talking that not a single student is paying attention to a word you are saying. This has happened to me on many occasion. Up there, at the front of class, you can see them all. It\'s not a good moment when you observe that no one is listening to the teacher. Fortunately, those moments have not been that common this last year, but they do continue.Happened just today, as a matter of fact.</p>\n<p>These excrutiating teaching moments are great motivation to learn how to avoid them What\'s gone right is that I\'ve learned to use movement (you can\'t just stand in one place and teach), volume (vary it) and content (I\'m a teacher, not a comedian, but there is a bit of entertaining in this job) as a means to maintain engagement. Ideally, education wouldn\'t be a constant battle between the teacher demanding things (I\'ve run into teachers who treat students as \'the enemy\' whom they have to beat) and kids who feel that the less they pay attention the more they \'win\' in this power struggle, but we are dealt the hand we\'re dealt, and if I have to \'perform\' 25 teaching hours a week, so be it. I\'ve learned a few tricks on how to do that.</p>\n<p><strong>Learning to Teach All the Students:</strong> I think most teachers would agree that in any given classroom, 20% of the students are really smart, they care about learning and make teaching easy. 20% of the students are there because they have to be, maybe aren\'t all that bright, don\'t care and aren\'t at all interested in learning. The middle 60% could go either way. That dynamic can play a huge role in how the teacher coordinates the classroom.</p>\n<p>The lazy teacher just teaches to that top 20%. I\'ve done that, on occasion. The angry teacher fixates on the inattentiveness of the bottom 20% and lets that disrupt the learning experience of the whole group. I\'ve done that too. Maybe it is best to concentrate on that middle 60% on whom the \'success\' of the lesson plan hinges.</p>\n<p>No, I\'ve learned that if certain students (whether they be smart or dumb) start to realize that its unlikely that they\'ll be called on to participate in class, then they\'ll drift away. To their smartphones, to classwork from another course, what have you. One thing that I think I\'ve gotten right this year is learning to use the Socratic method to the full class. Everyone wants to pay attention because I pay attention to everyone.</p>\n<p>One year teaching is almost in the books. When it comes to any job, it takes three months doing it before you should be comfortable. It takes three years doing it before you\'re really good at it. I\'m going to continue this until I\'m really good at it.</p>','','2014-02-13 06:52:29',1,'2014-02-13 06:52:29','2018-04-15 03:03:23');

As a teacher, I have been to the Thai labour court twice and in both cases had a settlement awarded to me. I have also been to the labour court in South Africa as an employer several times. I have never lost a court case.</p>\n<p>There is a lot of misunderstanding about the Thai labour law, the labour court and teachers\' rights in Thailand. In this article I will outline the aspects of the Thai labour law concerning teachers in Thailand as covered by the Labour Protection Act, B.E. 2541 (1998), as well as the Foreign Employment Act. I will cover the controversial fixed period contract, dismissal, sick  and maternity leave, penalties for working without a work permit, deductions and  issues that the Thai law doesn\'t address, as well as the penalties for working illegally.</p>\n<p>This article is factual and I will often refer to the various Acts and Articles of the law. In subsequent articles I will address issues that are close to every teacher\'s heart. I will then be looking at how the labour court works and how to win a case, how to find a lawyer, how much it will cost and how much will you win;  the rights of teachers, especially those paid per hour teachers working at language schools like Inlingua, ECC, Cambridge etc. I will explain their right to leave, sick pay and overtime.</p>\n<h3>The Employment Contract</h3>\n<p>There is no requirement in Thailand for a contract of employment to be in writing. However, when contract of is in writing, the employer should give the employee a copy after it has been signed.</p>\n<p>Section 17 of the Labour Protection Act states that a contract expires when the specified period in the contract expires. Moreover, the employer does not have to give the employee any advance notice. When there is no contract period, the employer must give advance notice at or before any time of payment. In the case of teachers, it will normally be one month.</p>\n<p>However, and this is very important, Section 17 should be read in conjunction with Section 118 which states that employment of a fixed duration exists in only in special cases. This might be a special project, temporary and/or seasonal work, or the work has to be completed within a 2 year period. Furthermore, the employer and employee have to enter into a written agreement at or prior to commencement of employment (not after employment has commenced).</p>\n<p>I think Section 118 makes it clear that working as a teacher could be seen as ongoing employment, even when teachers have been entered into a contract with a specific period. I have challenged not renewing a fixed term contract twice in court and in both instances I received a settlement. However, in the case of instant dismissal due to gross misconduct* or when you have been through the employers disciplinary procedures of verbal and written warnings, you are not entitled to any notice or severance pay. Gross misconduct and termination of employment for not following employers\' rules are grey areas and I will follow it up in an article on unfair and constructive dismissal.</p>\n<h3>Severance Pay</h3>\n<p>Severance pay varies from one to ten months, depending on how long the employee has worked. Here is a comprehensive list:</p>\n<p>Length of service 				Severance payment<br />120 days but less than 1 year = &nbsp;30 days at the last wage rate<br />1 year but less than 3 years = 90 days at the last wage rate <br />3 years but less than 6 years = 180 days at the last wage rate <br />6 years but less than 10 years = 240 days at the last wage rate <br />10 or more years = 300 days at the last wage</p>\n<h3>Leave</h3>\n<p>An employee is entitled to 6 days annual leave and 13 Thai national holidays. This will include labour day 1st of May. An employee is also entitled to thirty days sick leave a year. If sick leave is for more than two days, a medical certificate has to be produced. Days taken as sick leave due to injury at work or maternity leave are not calculated as sick leave. Maternity leave of up to 45 days may be taken.</p>\n<p>In the case of sick leave and maternity leave, the employee is entitled to their normal pay. An interesting note here: Contrary to popular believe, if sick leave falls before or after the weekend, then it is still two days to produce a medical certificate, not one. And even more interesting, if not bizarre, the laws stipulates that, if the employee cannot produce a medical certificate, he must give an explanation.</p>\n<p>An employee is entitled to leave to take care of personal business. However, this will be unpaid leave.</p>\n<h3>Deductions</h3>\n<p>An employer is not allowed to make any deductions from the basic salary or overtime pay except for income tax, contributions to a labour union, a welfare fund or payments of debt, as well as compensation paid to an employer due to a willful act or gross negligence of the employee, provided that the employee consents in writing.</p>\n<p>Deductions in each case cannot be more than 10 percent of, and in total not more than a fifth of the employee\'s salary, unless the employee consents in writing.</p>\n<h3>Gross Misconduct</h3>\n<p>An employer may instantly terminate an employee, without notice or severance pay in the case of gross misconduct. The following is a brief outline of acts that may lead to instant dismissal:</p>\n<p>&bull;	commits a criminal act against the employer<br />&bull;	intentionally causes the employer to suffer severe losses<br />&bull;	performs an act of gross negligence which causes the employer to suffer severe losses<br />&bull;	violates the lawful and just work rules or regulations <br />&bull;	is absent from work without a justifiable reason for 3 consecutive working days<br />&bull;	 imprisoned by a final judgment</p>\n<p>However, it is not all black and white and employees stand a good chance of having ruled in their favour when they challenge a dismissal on grounds of gross misconduct. I will discuss some of these issues in one of my next articles.</p>\n<h3>Other Workers Rights</h3>\n<p>&bull;	An employee who suffers injury or illness in the course of employment is entitled to be reimbursed for medical treatment, funeral expenses (if applicable), and compensation.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Under the Workmen\'s Compensation Fund Act, employers are required to register all employees with the Workmen\'s Compensation Fund.</p>\n<p>&bull;	The employer is not obliged to pay compensation to employees who intentionally inflict injury upon themselves or others, or (and this is very interesting) if such employee was injured as a result of his own intoxication beyond limits of self-control.</p>\n<p>&bull;	Equal pay for men and women who perform equal work. Male and female employees should be treated equally.</p>\n<p>&bull;	The law forbids termination on the grounds of pregnancy.</p>\n<p>&bull;	The law forbids sexual harassment by management and inspectors against female workers and children.</p>\n<h3>The Alien Act</h3>\n<p>The Alien Act stipulates that no person is allowed to employ an alien without a work permit that indicates the place and nature of work. If the employee is violating the conditions of his work permit, the employer could face a fine up to ten thousand baht. And if the alien has no work permit the employer could face a fine of ten thousand to hundred thousand baht per alien. However, an alien working with a work permit might face a fine of up to five years in jail, or a fine ranging from two thousand to a hundred thousand baht, or both! No one has ever said that life is fair.</p>\n<h3>What the Thai law doesn\'t address</h3>\n<p>Compared to some western models, the Thai law does not address quite a number of issues. Here are some:</p>\n<h3>Probation Period</h3>\n<p>No probation period is stipulated, and an employee has no recourse for dismissal within the first 120 days (four months) of employment.<br />Part-time work versus full time work<br />In general, normal working hours cannot exceed 8 hours per day or 48 hours a week. The Thai law permits a six day work week. There is no stipulation on the minimum hours for full time work.</p>\n<h3>Dismissal</h3>\n<p>An employer may dismiss an employee for no reason and only has to give thirty days\' notice, or notice pay in lieu thereof, as well as pay severance pay (as discussed above). An employee does not need to give any such notice.</p>\n<h3>Unfair and Constructive Dismissal</h3>\n<p>Other grey areas include unfair and constructive dismissal. An employee can claim for unfair dismissal if the employer did not follow the correct procedure for dismissal or did not dismiss the employee for just cause. An employee can claim for depending on the circumstances and time served.<br />Constructive dismissal is when the employer is taking steps forcing the employee to resign. This can be in the form of a change in working conditions, deductions, harassment, etc.</p>\n<p>I will have a look at unfair and constructive dismissal, as well as the compensation the courts can award in one of my next articles.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"mailto:andrepplus@gmail.com\">E-mail the author of this article</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/ribbon.gif','2014-02-17 21:07:34',1,'2014-02-17 21:07:34','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22100,83,'A big fat wonderful Thai wedding','a-big-fat-wonderful-thai-wedding','A different perspective on the happy event','About a month ago, my girlfriend and I were invited to attend the wedding of a Thai friend\'s son. I had never been to a Thai wedding before, so I was both surprised and honored when presented with the invitation.','<p>A while back, someone wrote about <a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/wedding-day-blues/\">a negative experience attending a Thai-style wedding</a>. Since I attended a Thai wedding ceremony a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time, I figured I would share my own experience.</p>\n<p>About a month ago, my girlfriend and I were invited to attend the wedding of a Thai friend\'s son. I had never been to a Thai wedding before, so I was both surprised and honored when presented with the invitation. It arrived in a pink envelope and was accompanied with a request for my girlfriend and me to sing and play ukulele. I had not sung since I quit chorus after my first year of high school, so, naturally, I was somewhat fearful of singing in front of hundreds of Thai people I barely knew.</p>\n<p>I was also unsure of which song to sing. The only English language songs Thai people usually like are from Top 40 lists. Since my music tastes differ significantly from those of typical Thais, I was unsure of what to do. I ended up settling on Eight Days a Week by the Beatles. Scrubs fans reading this might recognize this song as the song that Ted and his band sang at Carla and Turk\'s wedding.</p>\n<p>When we actually arrived at the wedding, it looked like we were in for a disaster. I had not been to a wedding since I was nine years old and was not looking forward to sitting in a room for four hours. We arrived to the ceremony late and we realized my girlfriend had forgotten her ukulele. Luckily, Thai people are forgiving and do not take life too seriously, so no one was significantly annoyed.</p>\n<p>The ceremony was beautiful and we were greeted with open arms. The food was warm and delicious. Unfortunately, there was no whiskey, but nothing is perfect. The bride and groom, along with the groom\'s parents, gave a speech in Thai and then the guests at the wedding were given free rein to sing and dance on stage. There was even an interval towards the end of the ceremony where my girlfriend and I were able to drive back home and pick up her ukulele. About 4 hours after the ceremony had started, and nearly everyone outside of the groom\'s family had left, my girlfriend and I sang on stage and fulfilled our end of the invitation.</p>\n<p>The experience got me thinking a lot about tradition, and how we do not have the same level of ceremony in the United States. I think we are at a loss because of this. There are no significant rites of passage in America. In addition, most weddings and holiday celebrations seem trite, clich&eacute;d, and banal. Our lack of cultural tradition leaves a void. Now, I do not think all of Thailand\'s customs are wonderful. In fact, many of their traditions, beliefs, and superstitions are antiquated and asinine. Some leave impressions that are borderline elitist, feudal, and racist. However, I think that the Thai emphasis on tradition is a good thing.</p>\n<p>When I was traveling in Chiang Mai several months ago, the city was celebrating Asarnha Bucha Day. My friends and I were walking around and looking for things to do, but everything was closed. We asked a local Thai man if certain places were open, and he replied with something along the lines of \"No. You should relax and do nothing. It\'s a holiday.\"</p>\n<p>The Thai peoples\' focus on doing nothing may have to do with Buddhism or their inherently lazy disposition; however, to many Thai people holidays are sacred and should be spent with friends and family. One should spend holidays with one\'s family doing nothing besides enjoying the company of loved ones.</p>\n<p>In the US, holidays are just an excuse to go shopping, be gluttonous, and spend extra time on lawn maintenance. The only non-religious holiday that is taken at all seriously by most people is Thanksgiving. I sometimes think that if we were less cynical and, like the Thais, placed more value on ceremony and the company of others, as well as less value on commercialism and celebrity gossip, we would all be more satisfied.</p>','','2014-02-19 06:35:18',1,'2014-02-19 06:35:18','2014-02-19 20:08:20'),(22155,77,'Time for a change','time-for-a-change','I\'ve had enough of the Thai government school system thank you','I’ve managed to locate my frustration and work out a solution - the Thai education system just isn’t for me.  Not the government schools anyway, or at least the school that I have been teaching in for the past 18 months. So I’ve decided to get out.  Not out of Thailand, just out of the system.\n','<p>For those of you who have read my last couple of posts or who follow my blog, you will be well aware that the Thailand honeymoon period is most definitely over for me.  Over the past few months those little things that were charming points of humour have started to grate on me.  The things that I used to shrug off and put down to &lsquo;just being Thailand\' now get me worked up beyond frustration.  The newness and shininess of life in Thailand has certainly dulled down, especially when I am looking at a more permanent life out here than first expected.</p>\n<p>Before people shoot me down about how I should get out of Thailand if I don\'t like it; I have absolutely no problem with the day to day way of life out here and certainly not with the people.  In fact, it is Thai people and their smiles, generosity and playfulness that sometimes make the frustrations bearable, and more often than not, make it totally worth it.</p>\n<p>No, I have no issue with the general way of life out here.  Initially I was worried that was what was winding me up (having chosen to live and work out here that would be a major spanner in the works) but I\'ve managed to locate my frustration and work out a solution - the Thai education system just isn\'t for me.  Not the government schools anyway, or at least the school that I have been teaching in for the past 18 months.  So I\'ve decided to get out.  Not out of Thailand, just out of the system.</p>\n<p>I have been lucky enough to secure a new position as a teaching assistant at an international school in Phuket.  Although on paper it may seem like a step down from teacher to assistant, I will be working within the British Curriculum and will be part of a school that appears to be doing some really positive work with their students and the community.</p>\n<p>My class sizes will be less than halved, resources quadrupled and staff support and career development opportunities increased to infinity.  Not to mention a significant increase in salary, plus I no longer have to hear people saying that I\'m &lsquo;just\' a TEFL teacher any more.  Perhaps people at home will even think that I have &lsquo;got a real job\' finally.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to be yet another newbie teacher who thinks they have earned the right after five minutes of teaching to slate the education system here or preach on how I think it should be done.  Let\'s just put it down to a set of personal differences - I like things to have an end point, some sort of feeling of working towards some sort of achievement, I like to work within a system that places importance on a sense of accountability and that recognises the impact that school can have on young people growing up.</p>\n<p>Many people are able to fit into the way of working in a Thai school, but after 18 months of trying I guess I am not one of those people.  At least not at the school I have been working in.  And so, instead of becoming a moaner and bad mouthing a situation I have got myself into, it\'s time to get out and move on.</p>\n<p>I will be relocating to the richest province in Thailand - moving from my current city in the deep south I anticipate that this will have a huge impact on my experience living in Thailand.  I won\'t be the only foreign female in my village.  I will have access to beaches where I can openly wear a bikini and where the water is clean enough to swim in.  There will be farang food other than the two overpriced restaurants!</p>\n<p>There are things that I will miss, of course.  The countryside commute through rubber plantations and past grazing water buffalo.  Every person shouting hello when I go through the village.  Rarely having people try to rip me off because I\'m a foreigner.  Cheap living.  Feeling like I am truly experiencing the culture of Thailand.</p>\n<p>I am well aware that my moving up to Phuket is actually a backwards step with regards to my immersion in Thai lifestyle.  I have read the forums, I know I run the risk of becoming a cynical expat, hating all tourists and Thai people.  I know I am putting temptation in my way; Patong will only be a taxi ride away with its neon lights and late night parties.</p>\n<p>But after 18 months of &lsquo;Thai\' living I have reached the point where I would like to have the option to some more foreigner friendly things when I fancy them.  I might even treat myself and have hot water at my next place; I will be living the dream indeed!</p>\n<p>So watch this space for what I am sure will be plenty of observations as I make the transition from the deep south of Thailand to Phuket, from a government school to an international school and from teacher to teaching assistant.  I\'m looking forward to whatever it brings.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://cornishkylie.wordpress.com/\">For more of my reflections on life in Thailand visit my personal blog.</a></p>','','2014-02-24 06:08:37',1,'2014-02-24 06:08:37','2014-02-24 20:08:38'),(22159,20,'5 Highlights from Thai TESOL 2014','5-highlights-from-thai-tesol-2014','The 34th Thai TESOL Conference was recently held in Chiang Mai','Thai TESOL is a non-profit organisation that works committedly towards raising the standards of English in schools and universities across Thailand.

They do this by cooperating with like-minded organizations, providing professional development, conducting research and organizing conferences.</p>\n<p>On 17th and 18th January Thai TESOL held their 34th Annual International Conference in Chiang Mai. The conference featured presentations from some highly respected educators from around the globe and here are my highlights from the event.</p>\n<h3>1) Key Note Speech - Dr Somkiat Onwimon</h3>\n<p><strong></strong>Key note speeches can often be long-winded and a little dull but this was no ordinary key note speech.</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tesol1.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Dr Somkiat, who spent 12 years teaching South Asian studies before starting a successful career in radio broadcasting and television news, is probably better known for his political career and his involvement in the current protests in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>In his speech he highlighted the urgency with which English language standards in Thailand need to improve, especially with the AEC just one year away. He also spoke of the empowering qualities of books and how reading had broadened his outlook and his understanding on everything from political theory to world history to the nature of human behaviour.</p>\n<p>Before leaving he also managed to get a good laugh at the expense of Prime Minister Yingluck by sharing a clip of her speaking English to the foreign press. However he stopped it short - &lsquo;before she embarrasses herself any further\'</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">2) Dr Paul Kei Matasuda Ph.D, Arizona State University</span></p>\n<p><strong>A Writing Workshop</strong></p>\n<p>Dr Paul Matasuda was arguably the hardest working guest speaker at this year\'s conference, giving three presentations and joining the panel discussion. An American university professor and non-native English speaker he is also an inspiring role model for foreign language students. I particularly liked his statement - &lsquo;I\'m a nonnative English speaker and I\'m proud of it.\'</p>\n<p><img height=\"200\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tesol2.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>His presentations focused on teaching writing and he had some great insights which I\'ve already begun using in my writing classes. He started his presentation by having the participants consider two very important questions</p>\n<p>-What is good writing? <br />-What is good writing instruction?</p>\n<p>- Good writing is effective writing - writing which successfully achieves its purpose<br />- The goal of English writing instruction is to produce good writers, not just good writing</p>\n<p>Dr Matduda\'s presentation then focused on the importance of remembering that writing is a process and that teachers should approaching  writing assignments as projects with various stages;</p>\n<p>+ Contextualization<br />+ Planning<br />+ Drafting<br />+ Feedback<br />+ Revision<br />+ Editing<br />+ Sharing<br />+ Assessment</p>\n<p>By breaking the assignment down into these stages the students have more opportunity to process their writing - changing and improving the assignment over time, which leads to a more complete final piece.</p>\n<p>Another important point he made about these stages was the importance of providing opportunities for peer feedback. Students develop critical thinking skills through giving feedback to their peers and by doing this on a regular basis they will get into the habit of objectively evaluating their own writing.</p>\n<p>Dr Paul also explained the importance of teachers responding to students\' written assignments from more than just one perspective. As language teachers we often fall into the trap of just responding to written work from the singular perspective of a language teacher - focusing on grammar, syntax and vocabulary.</p>\n<p>By responding from other perspectives such as; a writing teacher, a language teacher, the intended reader and a fellow writer, we are able to give more comprehensive feedback.</p>\n<p>Dr Matsuda explained that this was important for the following reasons-<br />- &lsquo;form focused feedback is most effective when it is tied to meaning\'<br />- &lsquo;enhanced understanding will help students better reproduce and adapt their writing\'</p>\n<p>I\'ve begun using some of these ideas in my classroom and I am already seeing the benefits of making students more aware of the multiple aspects of writing - aspects which go way beyond just &lsquo;getting the grammar right\'.</p>\n<h3>3)  Prof. Dr. Russell Gordon Cross, Melbourne Graduate School of Education</h3>\n<p><strong>Content and Language Integrated Learning</strong></p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Russell Gordon Cross was another speaker at Thai TESOL with a busy schedule of presentations. His presentation focused on the use of CLIL, an approach to language teaching that has been gaining popularity across Thailand over the past decade</p>\n<p><img height=\"201\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tesol3.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It was developed in the 1990s building on the success of the Canadian immersion programme. It is an alternative to the \'language only\' approach to learning foreign languages which critics believe has limited benefits. It has increased in popularity as more and more research shows that language is best learnt when being used in context.</p>\n<p>Dr Russell\'s presentation focused on the benefits of CLIL and ways in which it can be applied in the classroom. His insights to CLIL are of particular interest to those educators in Thailand who teach in English Programmes or International Programmes.</p>\n<p>In these programmes core subject content is taught in English and so, according to the definition above, they fall comfortably under the &lsquo;CLIL Umbrella\'.  As such it would benefit teachers working in these programmes to have a greater understanding of CLIL pedagogy in order to assist them successfully implement these programmes.</p>\n<p>If you are interested in learning more, there is a lot of great information about CLIL on the web  - <a href=\"http://www.onestopenglish.com/clil/methodology/articles/article-what-is-clil/500453.article\">here is a good place to start</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>4) Prof. Dr. Icy Lee - The Chinese University of Hong Kong</h3>\n<p><strong>\"21st Century English Language Assessment: Towards Assessment as Learning in L2 Classrooms.\" </strong></p>\n<p>Dr. Lee\'s presentation covered an area that has been much discussed recently - educating the 21st Century Learner.  One of the most popular models for teaching the 21st Century Learner is the 3Rs and 4Cs model.</p>\n<p>The 3Rs (Reading, Writing &amp; Arithmetic) represent subject knowledge while the 4Cs (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking) represent the skills that are essential for success in the 21t Century.</p>\n<p>Dr. Lee focused on how the adoption of the &lsquo;Assessment for Learning\' approach can benefit 21st Century learners and better prepare them for the life in the Information Age.</p>\n<p>She explained how this approach can be applied in the classroom using guided instruction from the teacher to help students develop their capacity to reflect on, monitor and assess their own learning  and how this will help them take charge of their learning. This approach aims to create self-regulated learners who are able to grasp the opportunities that now exist in the Information Age - an age where everyone has instant access to an abundance of knowledge which previously would have been impossible to access.</p>\n<p>This article shows a <a href=\"http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/forteachers/curriculum_in_action/assessment_for_learning.shtml\">good example of how assessment for learning can be implemented in the classroom</a>.</p>\n<h3>5)  Inspiring the Y Generation -  Sadie Maddock</h3>\n<p>This presentation caught my attention because I teach Generation Y teenagers and I\'m always keen to get a greater insight to their world.</p>\n<p>Sadie Maddock started by going over the key characteristics of this generation -</p>\n<p>-	Achievement-orientated<br />-	Team-orientated<br />-	Attention-craving</p>\n<p>She explained that teachers should remember these characteristics when planning in order to create lessons that will engage these Generation Y students.</p>\n<p>Another important point to remember is that this generation is used to having instant access to an abundance of knowledge so it is necessary they develop the skills to search, evaluate and then use this information correctly.</p>\n<p><img height=\"225\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tesol4.JPG\" width=\"300\" /><br /> <br /><strong>Social Networking</strong></p>\n<p>&lsquo;Social networking isn\'t a fad\'....it\'s here to stay and it can be an extremely valuable educational tool that provides students with opportunities to practice English in &lsquo;real world situations\'. Sadie explained how educators need to embrace the methods of networking and communication which Generation Y has grown up with.</p>\n<p>By effectively using social networking, educators can engage students in authentic practice, personalize their learning and assist their development of critical thinking skills. The link between the use of social media and the development of critical thinking skills has been made by numerous researchers (Al-Fadhli &amp; Khalfan, 2009; Maurino, 2006-2007).</p>\n<p>Previously many parents and teachers consider the time students spent playing on FaceBook was time wasted but actually the truth is quite different. While students are &lsquo;playing\' on FaceBook, they are actually engaging in a wide range of higher level thinking skills such as -inferring, summarizing, composing, analyzing, decision making and predicting. Through their repeated use of these skills these students are actually developing their own critical thinking ability.</p>\n<p>Along with the development of higher level thinking skills, social media can also be used as a teaching resource for teacher-student / student-student communication and language production activities - Blogs, Twitter &amp; YouTube are particularly good for production activities.</p>\n<p>Finally on the topic of Social Networking, Sadie mentioned the importance of teachers educating students about the safe and responsible use of social media. I recently organized a class discussion on these topics and discovered that most of my students are aware of these points but they don\'t take it very seriously.  On the topic of government surveillance the students didn\'t seem too bothered but one point which did cause an uproar was the small print in FaceBook\'s terms and conditions, especially this point - the photos you\'ve uploaded to FaceBook are now the property of FaceBook!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Next year\'s Thai TESOL International Conference will be held in Bangkok and it has already been scheduled for 29th-31st January 2015.

The above factors will weigh increasingly against those older job applicants who, in the past, could simply show up to an interview and be almost guaranteed of getting that job.','<p>I was 40 when I first came to Thailand to teach. (I\'m in my mid-fifties now.) Back then, wannabe teachers who were in their forties and fifties had it easy. There was no shortage of work and employers were fawning over the experienced looking &lsquo;professional\' types. That image of professionalism included being older.</p>\n<p>The language center where I first started working had people in their sixties and even one old codger in his seventies who was happily spreading the words of his native language to an eager audience. It was easy pickings back then. It seemed the older you were, the more likely you were to get snapped up by any agency, school or company that wanted an English teacher.</p>\n<p>In fact, to an extent, youth was frowned upon, because as educators, they weren\'t taken as seriously by employers or students. In an otherwise youth-orientated society, teaching English was the one area where older folks had a head start when it came to getting work.</p>\n<p>But since that time of plenty, there has been a slow but noticeable erosion of that advantage.</p>\n<p>There are several reasons why this has happened...</p>\n<p>Firstly, the students, schools and companies are markedly more sophisticated and demanding about who they want representing them, than they were fifteen years ago.</p>\n<p>So why is that?</p>\n<p>Well, one of the answers is that there are a higher percentage of younger people in the work pool than there was before. Today, it seems, there are swarms of younger people heading to Thailand who want to &lsquo;give it a go\' because they are on gap year, or they can\'t get work at home, or they just want the experience of being in another country, etc!</p>\n<p>Also, there are more women coming over. When it comes to women, older teachers have already lost the fight for that good job. The fairer sex is in great demand as teachers. Ladies always have been in great demand, but now there are more of them for employers to choose from.</p>\n<p>Next, we have to take into account of the &lsquo;formality\' of the teaching profession. In the past, a well pressed shirt and conservative tie were held in high regard. It still is, of course, in many fields of education and training. But those formal barriers are breaking down in Thailand. There is a movement toward more relaxed and informal settings for many areas of English learning. This advantages younger job applicants.</p>\n<p>Another handicap that older applicants will face these days is the sea change of technology. The way English is taught in Thailand is facing a revolution. When a young job applicant whips out his iPad and launches into a presentation of fun games and different ways to teach English and the older man pulls out some well used text books from a beaten up black briefcase to illustrate the same intent, who would you favor? Which applicant should an employer or student favor?</p>\n<p>But it\'s not just that older teachers don\'t know this technology, it\'s also because technology is associated with younger professionals. It\'s universally assumed that the younger you are, the more adept you\'ll be in picking up on new ways of teaching.</p>\n<p>The next reason older teachers are finding it more difficult to compete: The employers are younger. They can relate socially to younger employees and are increasingly more likely to pick the exciting, energetic twenty-five year old lad with an online TEFL and a smartphone, than they are, a stuffy old man with a CELTA and a cane!</p>\n<p>Finally, younger employees are more malleable and they often work for less. In addition they toe the company line more willingly than the worldlier, stubborn old farts are prepared to do. This has always been the case, but when an employer is faced with a choice between a fresh, wide eyed thirty-something and a rather staid older &lsquo;professional\' then the choice of who to hire is weighing more and more in favor of the former.</p>\n<p>In my view, over the next few years, Thailand will see a sharp decline of older native English teachers in the classroom. The above factors will weigh increasingly against those older job applicants who, in the past, could simply show up to an interview and be almost guaranteed of getting that job.</p>\n<p>The times, they are a changin\'.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Further reading - who comes out on top - <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/young-teachers-vs-old-teachers/\">older or younger teachers?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2014-03-02 01:05:53',1,'2014-03-02 01:05:53','2014-03-02 15:03:54'),(22219,75,'Thailand teaching stuff - March 2013','thailand-teaching-stuff-march-2013','Another treasure trove of blog links for Thailand teachers','Hi everyone, it\'s Peter Clarke, back again with another selection of blogs and articles that I hope will be of interest to teachers working in Thailand or perhaps those who are just living here in this great country.

Eric Vukicevich left his home in America at the age of 25 to come and teach in Thailand for a short period.

Ryan Zander has written a blog on the <a href=\"http://siamandbeyond.com/problem-dual-pricing-in-thailand/?utm_content=buffere75b9&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">whole unsavoury practice of dual pricing in Thailand</a>.

What did your ophthalmologist say about the problem? Did eye correction work for you?</p>\n<p>When I first experienced blurred vision, I thought I needed to upgrade my eyeglasses. But when I went to my optometrist, he recommended 250 grade for my myopic left eye and 400 for my hyperopic right eye.</p>\n<p>After a year, even with my eyeglasses on, my vision deteriorated again. So I went to my optometrist once more and requested to increase the grade of my eyeglasses to 250/500. Unfortunately he couldn\'t do that because my eyes were beyond correction. He told me that I had cataracts on both eyes and no correction was possible.</p>\n<p>I was advised to have an operation but frankly speaking, I was scared. Years ago, I had a urinary bladder operation to remove a 2.54 inch diameter stone. Because of this I tolerated the blurry vision but after a few months, my vision got worse, so I sought a second opinion. The second ophthalmologist recommended cataract surgery.</p>\n<p>In one private hospital in Thailand, the operation to remove the cataracts would cost 39,000 baht excluding pre and post surgery procedures. I would have agreed to it if I had still had my medical insurance while working under the Chulalongkorn-Unisearch project, but I was no longer qualified because I was over 60 years of age.</p>\n<p>Since I had medical insurance in the Philippines, I decided to go home and arrange to have surgery there. It was a painless procedure. There was ecg, chest xray, and lab tests for clearance. After that, I was scheduled for the operation.</p>\n<p>At first I had my fears but thanks to the doctor\'s clear explanation of the procedure, my fears disappeared. In fact, to my surprise, the operation lasted only 30 non-traumatic minutes.</p>\n<p>I ended up paying only 22,000 pesos (over $500) for the lens that was implanted in my eyeball while my Philippine health insurance was 19,000 pesos (nearly $400)</p>\n<p>With medication and careful observance of the doctor\'s instructions, my recovery was fast.</p>\n<p>Because my other eye also had a cataract, I still couldn\'t function visually without eyeglasses though, so my doctor recommended them. When I got the glasses a week later, I could see well again. The doctor said he could operate on my other eye but the problem was, I no longer had Philippine health insurance. I had to wait for another year.</p>\n<p>For those who have medical problems like mine - or any other ailment - it is wise to have your health problems attended to here in Thailand, especially while you still have your social services benefits. If I were under 60, or even younger, I could have undertaken my cataract surgery here for free.</p>\n<p>This summer vacation, I will have my other eye operated on in my own country so that I can enjoy my insurance and medical benefits.</p>\n<p>How did I come to get these cataracts? I really don\'t know if it is hereditary because my father had them too. I really can\'t remember how I got them. I guess it is all part of aging. Although I had my eyeglasses when I was in first year high school, I think I stopped wearing them when I was in college because I felt uncomfortable.</p>\n<p>My understanding at that time was I could see well without them so why bother putting them on? But when I had difficulty reading, I began wearing eyeglasses again. That was after my college graduation.</p>\n<p>My advice to anyone is to go to the doctor if you have a serious eye problem. Then follow your doctor\'s advice. Once you have your eyeglasses, wear them! \"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure\"</p>\n<p>Early diagnosis helps. A regular visit to the ophthalmologist at least once a year is a must. Always wear your eyeglasses and have them changed if necessary. Of course, eating foods rich in Vitamin A will be of great help. Always be careful not to rub or poke your eyes too much.</p>\n<p>I am looking forward to the time I undergo the second operation so that my other eye can function normally, efficiently and with ease.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-03-07 05:00:47',1,'2014-03-07 05:00:47','2014-03-07 19:07:48'),(22266,71,'Tolerance','tolerance','One aspect of Thai culture that must be the envy of the world','We foreigners may see some aspects of Thai culture as idiosyncratic, but it truly warms my heart when I see even young people in Thailand getting along in spite of personal differences','<p>\"Teacher, wanna see my little show I did to impress my girlfriend?\" says one of the girls in my Mathayom 2 class. \"Everyone helped me and she loved it!\"</p>\n<p>The girl, whose English is by far the best in this class, then proceeded to show me a film on someone\'s iPhone of her and a group of [straight] girls and boys from her class doing some song and dance about how much she loves her girlfriend.

Simply put, I am blown away by the amount of acceptance and tolerance by students in Thailand. It is awesome to me that students, straight or gay, all accept each other and even condone one another.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind here that I grew up in the \"deep South\" of the US. For anyone who has seen True Blood, just think... that, except in Georgia and without the vampires. Although I sometimes thought of some of the highly religious Protestants I grew up with to be vampires... I digress. Conservatism, that\'s what I grew up with. The type with people who never had and will never have a passport. The type that considers even Catholicism as liberal heresy, and that\'s when Catholics are even considered Christian (I had a public school principal interrupt a teacher in class to say that they are not). Seriously?</p>\n<p>That said, I obviously come from a different background, one from which personal differences weren\'t exactly celebrated. I also certainly know much of the US is not like this, to say nothing of the general social acceptance I saw when I lived in Europe. Still, I know I\'m not alone in having experienced this type of community, and the fact that mainstream Thai culture seems perfectly content with people embracing sexuality without consequence makes me smile.</p>\n<p>I will grant that countries like the US have made great strides when it comes to acceptance of \"different\" people, but when I went through high school, being gay was simply not tolerated. I had a gay friend (a \"closet gay,\" being that it was not socially acceptable to be publically gay), and-I\'m not making this up-other students used to throw rocks at us when I even walked to class with him. It didn\'t bother me, being that I had been (and probably still am) on local church prayer lists for being captain of the school debate team (but mainly because I was brought up Episcopal, and thus wasn\'t \"saved\" by the majority\'s standards), but I can only imagine how he felt.</p>\n<p>We foreigners may see some aspects of Thai culture as idiosyncratic, but it truly warms my heart when I see even young people in Thailand getting along in spite of personal differences. Sure, they\'ve got political problems out the wazoo; sure, I\'m often annoyed by the \"keeping up appearances\" side of Thai society. But when it comes to being accepting, I would argue that Thais have a strong edge on many Western societies.</p>\n<p>I told my [Thai] girlfriend about the incident, and she said, \"...and?

And I really do mean it is fabulous.</p>\n<p>Here\'s why I love my life here so much:</p>\n<p><strong>1) \"There is always something beautiful to see or hear.\"</strong></p>\n<p>My friend Sue said this and how true it is. I wake up every morning to the sound of wildlife; morning song is just glorious. There\'s a tokay who made his home on the balcony, lizards and frogs hustle for the botanic spoils of our small garden.The back of my house overlooks a rice field and typically there will be cranes paddling around whilst swallows soar overhead. My garden is home to mango, banana and jack fruit trees- so much beauty in one little spot.</p>\n<p><strong>2) My expat friends.</strong></p>\n<p>I am very lucky to have made friends with other expats doing the same as me. Taking a punt on life. Life in another country is made all the more easy when you have people to laugh and cry with. Expats have a buzz about them, the cliched sense of adventure which makes us all equal in so many ways. I have found kindness and generosity from friendships which have formed not only faster but stronger.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Living my dreams, loving my job</strong></p>\n<p>I have always wanted to write and now I am able to. I have two blogs, one here on Ajarn and my teaching blog. I also write children\'s stories that my friend Rachel illustrates. The time and space here in Bangkok affords a creativity which I see replicated in so many other of my expat friends. Working in a international school allows me to be creative, to craft my profession, to enjoy teaching and have a work-life balance.</p>\n<p><strong>4) Bangkok is child\'s play.</strong></p>\n<p>What a fabulous life my three year old son has. We never struggle for things to do on a weekend. Bangkok has so much to offer children from ice skating to cinema, from ballparks to safaris. He has a freedom that would be curtailed at home in London. I love watching him run and play in our local park, regardless of the language barrier, he makes friends and it makes me wonder what life has in store for him</p>\n<p><strong>5) Going home.</strong></p>\n<p>No chance. I love London. I miss my mum and siblings, I miss my best friend, Jude and the closeness and familiarity of long held friendships. Luckily, social media, FaceTime and Skype provide me with details of their lives, it\'s not the same but that\'s what makes going home even more special. Long lazy lunches in cozy pubs, meeting all our friends and families makes appreciation of life back home even more meaningful.</p>\n<p>I haven\'t mentioned the weekends away, the weather and the food because that\'s a given isn\'t it?</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-03-09 20:25:02',1,'2014-03-09 20:25:02','2014-03-10 10:10:03'),(22311,57,'Bangkok\'s cheap apartments','bangkoks-cheap-apartments','Are budget studios a good option?','Not only is Bangkok renowned for having the cheapest taxi fares on the planet, but it\'s perhaps also one of the least expensive capitals in the world for renting centrally located accommodation.

The simple studios are ideal for anyone who has just arrived in the capital.

However, these budget studio will be in Thai-style buildings, and that means a lack of western facilities and probably without air conditioning too. The quality and services of these low-cost apartments can vary greatly from the grotty to the good; well, good for the money anyway!</p>\n<p><strong>Locating the Budget Studio</strong></p>\n<p>Cheap Bangkok studios can be found in most locations, but the further you go off the main roads, and away from the BTS/MRT networks, the more you will come across. The five local areas that will definitely have an abundance of low-cost rooms include the following districts:</p>\n<p>1.	Bang Na<br />2.	Ladprao <br />3.	Pinklao<br />4.	Ramkhamhaeng <br />5.	Ratchadapisek / Thapra</p>\n<p><strong>Local vs International Standards</strong></p>\n<p>Unless you really do only need a place to crash of an evening, then the super low-cost accommodation is not usually a long-term solution for those who will be living or working in Bangkok for an extended period. Residing in a tiny, hot, humid spaces, in buildings that can be noisy and populated by students, working class Thais, and migrant workers, will eventually become tiresome at best, and intolerable at worse, even for most laidback western expats.</p>\n<p>So there comes a time when most budget dwellers want to exchange the hotbox for a home, and that means extra space, air conditioning as standard, a more central location, and a few creature comforts to boot. Starting as low as 8-10,000 Baht/Mo, will lift the living experience to a higher international level, and swish studios in smart condominium complexes become available at the 10-12,000 THB/Mo price range.</p>\n<p><strong>Living on a Shoestring No Longer an Option Say TEFLers</strong></p>\n<p>Twenty or so years ago, most English language teachers struggled to make 30,000 Baht in any given month, and those who did were considered the high earners. Many would work six days a week, stuck in some high street school for 12 hours a day, and be lucky to break 28,000 Baht. Although the cost of living has gone up a fair bit since then, especially in recent years, the Bangkok English teachers of today do tend to earn more in comparison and enjoy a higher standard of living as a consequence. In fact, many formally qualified TEFL teachers nowadays demand a better standard of living for their efforts.</p>\n<p><strong>Bangkok - The World\'s Best City</strong></p>\n<p>Bangkok is a wonderful and exciting cosmopolitan metropolis. The Thai capital has something to offer everyone, which is why so many foreigners make it their home. In 2013, Bangkok was honoured for the fourth consecutive year as the \"World\'s Best City\" by Travel &amp; Leisure magazine, and Thailand - as a whole - was voted as the country offering the best overall expat experience by the annual HSBC Expat survey.</p>\n<p>The HSBC annual survey is based on a number of things, but the main criteria includes:</p>\n<p>1.	Number of quality tropical beaches and islands<br />2.	Choices in world-class restaurants <br />3.	Having a modern infrastructure<br />4.	The cultural attraction factor<br />5.	The local food (60% surveyed said Thai food gave them a healthier diet)<br />6.	Cost-effectiveness for expats<br />7.	The ease in which to make new friends<br />8.	Social lifestyle, including places and events from where to socialize</p>\n<p><strong>It\'s Not All Sweetness and Light!</strong></p>\n<p>Living in Bangkok is not all sweetness and light though. There is no escaping the fact that the city has a problem with choking air pollution, relentless heat and humidity, overcrowding, a public transportation network that can be a dog-eat-dog full-on experience at rush hour, frustrations caused by miscommunication and cultural misunderstandings, and the various scams and scammers who constantly prey on vulnerable expats (many of whom are fellow expats!).</p>\n<p>How different people cope with the above depends on the individual. One thing is for certain though, and that is the nicer your home, the better the overall living experience. Being able to unwind at the end of the day and at the weekends, in the privacy of your own space, surrounded by people and things that matter to you most, can definitely make any expat lifestyle more enjoyable and relaxing overall.</p>\n<p><strong>The Condo Experience</strong></p>\n<p>With so many new condominium projects springing up in recent years, the extra choices in accommodation have been welcomed by Bangkok\'s expats.  Condo living is a step up from that of apartments, namely because of the improved quality of these constructions. In general, the fixtures and fittings are of a higher, international standard, the facilities tend to be much better (many having gyms and pools as standard), and the overall ambiences of the modern condominium complex is more luxurious, calming, and peaceful.</p>\n<p>Some projects even have garden areas which offer a little haven of tranquillity, and one that is quite hidden from the bustling city beyond its walls.</p>\n<p>If you\'re ready for the step-up from apartment to condo, then you might find our article entitled: <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/blog/bangkok-studios/\">\'Bangkok Studio Condos - the Lowdown\'</a> a useful introduction to a few of these condos.

It\'s a selection of random musings, life lessons and single-paragraph viewpoints that are nearly always fascinating to read.</p>\n<p>OK, I\'m not a celebrity or anything, but being as I\'m turning 50 next month, maybe I\'m qualified to look back on life and come up with some of my own ramblings. So, this much I know.</p>\n<p><strong>Travelling is always better in retrospect.</strong> I forget where I read that quote but I couldn\'t agree more. I love returning home and looking at holiday snaps with a travel partner - and laughing at the back stories to each photo. But I hate so many of the things associated with travel these days - airport security checks, the squeeze into economy class, the fight for overhead luggage space, extortionate airport taxi fares. All that stuff can f**k right off.</p>\n<p><strong>In some ways I\'m envious</strong> of those people who have lost their parents - those folks who have gone through the whole grief and bereavement process and have been able to get on with their lives, albeit with an understandable and permanent sense of loss. I\'m very close to both of my parents, who are now into their 70s. And although they\'re in relatively decent health, the clock is ticking. I find that hard to deal with because I\'m not sure how their passing is going to affect me. It\'s a total fear of the unknown.</p>\n<p><strong>I\'m not the slightest bit religious</strong> but I have a passion for English country churches. You can be travelling around England and find yourself in Chipping Sodbury and there\'s a gorgeous, old country church on the edge of the village. I love the creak of the wooden door as you twist the handle to enter, and the peace and solitude as you step inside. I can sit there for hours - not in prayer exactly but just enjoying the moment, in a place so far removed from the chaotic world outside.</p>\n<p><strong>When I\'ve got an hour to spare</strong>, I\'ll play all my favorite bits of movies. I don\'t always have the patience to sit through a whole film but there are certain scenes that I never tire of watching. A day always improves no end when I watch the courtroom scene from &lsquo;My Cousin Vinny\'. You can never underestimate the power of a movie scene and the effect it can have on you.</p>\n<p><strong>Sometimes in a moment of clarity</strong>, I\'ll think to myself &lsquo;Wow! You\'ve lived in Thailand for 24 years!\" It\'s a long time isn\'t it? - most of my adult life in fact. When I planned on living here, I didn\'t know how long it was going to last but so far, so good. A lot of folks come here and retire in their 50s and 60s but very few come here in their prime years and stay the distance, so I\'m secretly quite proud of that in a way.</p>\n<p><strong>I\'m a massive animal lover.</strong> I can\'t bear to look at photographs or read stories about animals that have been mistreated. And there are no words to describe my contempt for people who are willfully cruel to animals. There have been many instances where I\'ve taken a holiday and the whole time has been dominated by me caring for the sick dog who lives at the end of the street. Animals are like children. They rely on us for support - and my word, how we\'ve let them down.</p>\n<p><strong>I was always in love with the idea of living and working abroad</strong>. England in the 80s was a great time for me but I hated the daily grind and the perpetual &lsquo;greyness\' of life in the UK. I got the wanderlust in my mid-20s but didn\'t have a clue where I wanted to end up. I contemplated becoming a tour guide in Belgium at one stage. I have no idea what that was about.</p>\n<p><strong>I\'ve always been a bit of a &lsquo;wheeler dealer\'</strong> and I still enjoy being around those &lsquo;market trader\' types of people - the duckers and divers, the bobbers and weavers. I got my first Saturday job when I was 14 years old, working in one of those traditional second-hand &lsquo;junk shops\' where all the furniture would be piled on the pavement outside. The owner would leave me in charge for hours and the moment he was gone, I would select four items and remove the price tags. When a customer showed interest, I would quote them an inflated figure and pocket the difference. It wasn\'t stealing and everyone got a fair deal. The junk shop owner got his price and I got mine. So I was 14 years old when I first experienced the thrill of making money &lsquo;on the side\'</p>\n<p><strong>I haven\'t worked in a company environment</strong> and done a Monday to Friday, nine-to-five job for almost ten years. I just can\'t work with other people. And I\'m sure I\'m just as difficult to work with as well. It always frustrated me when colleagues took an age to complete a simple task or had to ask for help at every stage of a process. Patience and the ability to suffer fools gladly have never been my strongest points. And don\'t get me on to the topic of those endless company meetings that are a waste of everyone\'s time.</p>\n<p><strong>I know how to cook</strong> and I\'ve never met a person who can iron a shirt better than I can. Perhaps it\'s a survival instinct but it\'s enormously reassuring to know that if you suddenly find yourself alone in the world, you\'re probably going to be OK.</p>\n<p><strong>I\'ve always taken a great pride in my appearance.</strong> I spent my first ever wage packet on a beautiful leather jacket and that began a life-long love affair with clothes. For that reason, I hate to see men hit middle-age and just &lsquo;let themselves go\'. They stop caring about what they look like. There\'s no excuse for it and I think that you\'re always judged on first impressions.</p>\n<p><strong>I come from a family of green-fingered males.</strong> My grandfather won numerous awards from the local council for the best-tended front garden in the district. And he passed those gardening skills down to my father. When I was born, perhaps the planets were out of line on that day, but I never got the gardening genes. I can put plants in soil and literally watch them die in front of me.</p>\n<p><strong>I pursue every objective with a fierce intensity.</strong> I\'ve always hated the thought of doing things in half measures and it\'s an attitude to life that puts enormous pressure on you. For example, if I set out to learn a language, I\'m only satisfied when I can speak that language fluently. I can\'t be the sort of person who waves phrase-books under a taxi driver\'s nose.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-03-12 03:51:01',1,'2014-03-12 03:51:01','2014-03-12 18:06:02'),(22367,20,'Teacher compensation','teacher-compensation','Second article on Thai labor law and how it applies to teachers','This article is about how the Thai labor court system works in terms of mediation, arbitration, etc, how much money you can expect to be awarded in compensation - and most importantly, how much it will cost you.','<p>This article is about how the Thai labour court works, how much money you can get and how much it will cost you.</p>\n<p>End of March is the time when most schools &lsquo;let go\' of their unwanted staff. And almost all of them use the feeble excuse of \'we will not renew your contract next semester\" to let them go.</p>\n<p>I have outlined the law concerning fixed term contracts <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-thai-labour-law/\">in my previous article</a>, but I will give a quick review: Section 17 of the Labour Protection Act states that a contract expires when the specified period in the contract expires. However, Section 17 should be read in conjunction with Section 118 which states that employment of a fixed duration exists only in special cases.</p>\n<p>This might be a special project, temporary and/or seasonal work, or the work has to be completed within a two-year period.  A fixed term contract has a start and end date, and has to be signed before employment commences, and not while working. An example of a fixed term contract for teachers would be someone replacing a teacher that is on maternity leave.</p>\n<p>When a teacher is fired for gross misconduct (drunk at work, stealing, etc), he or she is not liable for any claim. However, the school has to state the reason for termination at the time of the offence, as they cannot claim misconduct later.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I would like to point out that I had been to the labour court twice after not being rehired following a non-renewal of contract, and both cases were settled in my favour. I even had the judge pointing out Section 17 (fixed term contract), only to be corrected by my lawyer on Section 118.</p>\n<h3>How the courts work</h3>\n<p>The first step when you consider taking your employer to the labour court would obviously be to get as much evidence as possible: payslips, emails, letters, work permit, or recordings to convince the courts that you have a case. I would also advise a teacher never to resign or sign a resignation letter.&nbsp;You have thirty days to submit your case to the labour court, unless you have special circumstances. Thereafter a court date will be set, usually four to six weeks after the case was submitted.</p>\n<p>The first step when you go to the labour court is mediation. It is an informal process where both parties sit around a table with one or two mediators who will try to get you (the plaintiff) and the school (defendant) to reach a settlement. Very few cases are settled during the first mediation process.</p>\n<p>The mediation process is quite relaxed. The mediator sits with both parties around a table in the mediation hall. There are no formal court procedures, no recordings and no verdicts. During my mediation there were no lawyers present either, only my interpreter.</p>\n<p>The mediation process does not focus on the merits of your case. It is rather about reaching a settlement and can drag on for a few sessions before a settlement is negotiated.</p>\n<p>When the two parties cannot settle, the mediator will refer the case for arbitration. Arbitration is a formal process in a court room with (in my case) three judges, lawyers and an interpreter. Both parties will submit evidence and may call witnesses. However, the court procedure is not like in \'LA Law\'. In the Thai court the judge will try to get the two parties to reach a settlement and may even refer the case back to mediation.</p>\n<p>The labour court judges are excellent negotiators. They know the law, and they will bend it to strengthen their case. Their aim is to get both parties to settle as quickly as possible, as their bonus is based on settlement. It is not uncommon for the judge to act as judge, prosecutor and negotiator, nor is it uncommon to see at least one of them asleep on the bench.</p>\n<h3>How much money can you expect to win</h3>\n<p>The sole reason, in my opinion, to go to the labour court is to be awarded money. And the million dollar question would be how much money you could expect to win.</p>\n<p>Let\'s say you have worked at a school for eighteen months. In this case you could claim one month\'s notice pay, three months\' severance pay, one month\'s pay for unfair dismissal, interest and whatever else is due to you. Claiming for unfair dismissal, interest, etc gives you some leeway in negotiating a fair settlement. If you have done your homework and stand your ground in court, you should walk away with at least four months\' salary less lawyers\' fees. Not bad for a couple of hours in court!</p>\n<p>There is also a possibility of the defendant paying in installments, but if he or she liquidates, it is basically guaranteed that you will receive your money. The court will issue an attachment order of the defendant\'s property if he or she fails to comply with the order within seven days of the specified period.</p>\n<h3>How much will it cost and how long it will take</h3>\n<p>The lawyer I used normally asks for a deposit of ten to twenty thousand baht, and ten to fifteen percent of the settlement figure. Most cases are settled within three court appearances and on average take three to six months to settle. Both my cases were settled after two court appearances and within three months.</p>\n<p>I had the understanding with my lawyer that he would defend me until my case was settled, no matter how many times I would appear in court appearances. That gave me the advantage of knowing beforehand how much it was going to cost and I could settle on the amount I had decided on. The defendant on the other hand had to pay for a lawyer every time they appeared in court and did not know how much it was going to cost her.</p>\n<p>Some teachers are concerned that the school will claim money from them if they lose at the labour court. This will not happen.  At my last appearance the school had formal documentation claiming money from me. The judge dismissed this, stating that the plaintiff cannot be held responsible for the defendant\'s costs.</p>\n<h3>What advice can I give you</h3>\n<p>My advice to teachers going to the labour court is to be fully prepared by having evidence (letters, emails, recordings, witnesses) and knowing their rights as a foreign employee. It is not easy to get money from Thai employers. Usually the schools and their agents have money, power, connections and can afford the best lawyers. But the schools and their agents have far more to lose than you. A good number of them are hiring illegal teachers, don\'t offer work permits and might owe thousands, if not millions of baht in tax money.</p>\n<p>Any teacher with a reasonable case and sound negotiating skills, should (I can almost say will) receive a fair amount of money. Not something extraordinary though - like claiming a year\'s wages for unfair dismissal. If you are after that sort of compensation, it is highly unlikely that you will get a lawyer to take your case and equally unlikely that your case will be accepted by the courts.</p>\n<h3>Where can I find a lawyer?</h3>\n<p>Finding a reputable lawyer is perhaps the most difficult part. All legal processes, including arbitration, as well as pleadings for submission to judicial bodies, are done in Thai.</p>\n<p>I often hear about the clerks of the labour court, and even Thai lawyers looking at a case, but it hardly ever goes to court. I never had any luck with the clerks of the Labour court either. I had been to the Ombudsman of the labour court twice before I got a lawyer. The first time I had to get my contract translated and the second time I had to come back with a translator and more translated documents.</p>\n<p>Lawyers might be expensive, but it is usually a case of you get what you pay for. I\'ve had a teacher who got fired by one of Bangkok\'s biggest agencies, contact me. She got a lawyer (pro bono she tells me) and went to the Labour court to file a claim. They did this twice, and both times they were told that they needed the registered name of the company and some documents translated. The result was that she couldn\'t file a claim. It took my lawyer\'s assistant five minutes to do a company registration search and came up with all the company information.</p>\n<p>If you need advice on finding the right lawyer, <a href=\"mailto:andrepplus@gmail.com\">contact me</a>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/ribbon.gif','2014-03-17 06:49:01',1,'2014-03-17 06:49:01','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22386,83,'The senselessness of Thai bureaucrats and oligarchs','the-senselessness-of-thai-bureaucrats-and-oligarchs','Thailand is ruled by men, not laws','I understand that Thai people do not like causing conflict or losing face, but the first step in solving a problem is admitting that there is one','<p>Based on how much paperwork and bureaucracy is necessary to work legally in Thailand, one would think that Thailand is a booming developed country with no need for foreign labor or expertise. The reality is quite different. Though Thailand is a beautiful country with warm people, it certainly has its fair share of problems. Thailand needs to learn to admit its faults and risk conflict or else its primitive societal structure will continue to hold back the lives of the majority of its population.</p>\n<p>I realize the ideas I have listed above seem disparate, so please allow me to explain. I have recently started a new job at an education company in Bangkok and have spent the last month dealing with visa and work permit issues. Towards the end of last month, I had a 30 day stamp after doing a visa run in Myanmar. My first step towards obtaining a work permit was to convert my visa into a non-immigrant B visa. My company lawyer thought it would be easiest for me to upgrade to a non-B visa while remaining in the country.</p>\n<p>I scanned a copy of my passport (every page), my old work permit, my original college diploma, a letter from my college indicating that I had graduated in good standing, and my sealed college transcript. I was told that I needed a letter from my previous job detailing my position. The letter required the signatures of my former boss and the school director.</p>\n<p>Moreover, I needed to scan this letter by the next day. Now, if you know anything about Thai government schools, you know this was an impossible task, especially considering that school directors often do not show up for work. Luckily, my boss was incredibly helpful and I was able to pick up the letter within two days. Unfortunately, the letter did not have the necessary stamp so I had to go to back to the school and have the letter stamped with the official government seal.</p>\n<p>I then went about getting my medical certificate, which was easy enough. Everything seemed to be going okay for a couple of weeks, when I was notified that, since my college diploma was in Latin, I would need to go to the US embassy and have them prove that I did, in fact, graduate. Considering that I had already sent in a sealed transcript, a letter signed by the chancellor of my university, and an original diploma, I was quite frankly stunned by the request.</p>\n<p>I finally realized what the Thai bureaucrat I was dealing with was: a micro-megalomaniac, the most insecure of all figures. The micro-megalomaniac has so little power that he or she will dominate their little world as they see fit and will never stop letting you know who is in charge.</p>\n<p>Being from the United States, I realized I had no right to comment on unjust immigration officers, so I politely agreed to go to the US embassy as requested. However, I was notified before my appointment that the lawyer had spoken with a different immigration officer and that I now had my non-B visa. I was elated to finally get my visa changed, but something about this left me unsettled.</p>\n<p>It is one thing for a control freak, or even many of them, to attempt to get his or her way, as is the case with many of those who work at US customs, but it is quite another for laws to change with the caprices of petty officials. The rules were different with this immigration officer, and it worked well for me in this case. Yet, laws should not be changed depending on who is working that particular day. This was a minor case, but I think it illustrates a bigger problem. The rules in Thailand are different depending on who is applying them, and who they are being applied to.</p>\n<p>Thailand is ruled by men, not laws. The rules do not apply to the Bangkok elite, who are able to run over their fellow citizens, often purposely, in luxury cars with no negative repercussions. In Thailand, if you are rich then you are right. Here, the circumstances of the event have no bearing on who is at fault. The person with less power is always to blame. The fact is, Thailand is a kleptocracy. Society is run based on a feudal concept of patronage and rulers have been using their privileges to self-aggrandize for quite some time. However, most Thai people are apparently just figuring this out. Though the protesters seem to think corruption has just started, the fact is corruption has always been here.</p>\n<p>Thai people appear to only see what they want to see. They complain about foreign customs ruining traditional Thai culture, but then they go and spend all their money on foreign gadgets and clothing. They claim to be humane and compassionate Buddhists, but their efforts are focused on not euthanizing feral dogs with two legs instead of on stopping fundamental human rights abuses, such as child prostitution or the over 2000 extra-judicial killings involved in Thailand\'s war on drugs ten years ago. I understand that Thai people do not like causing conflict or losing face, but the first step in solving a problem is admitting that there is one.</p>\n<p>The average Thai has too much faith in the feudal system that exists here. The middle class Thais are afraid of the great unwashed masses below and too deferential towards the oligarchs above. This feudal system has not always existed. It was invented by people and it does not have to exist indefinitely. Neither does the Thai emphasis on saving face.</p>\n<p>I understand the desire to uphold tradition, but not at the cost of human suffering. If the Thai attitude does not change, then I am afraid Thailand will become a banana republic, with a moneyed class taking its stolen funds and leaving its destitute and structurally deficient homeland to rot. I hope that Thailand will change its ways soon and abandon its pre-modern societal structure. Until then, saving face and preserving the social hierarchy will continue to trump human rights and development.</p>','','2014-03-20 04:05:02',1,'2014-03-20 04:05:02','2014-03-22 22:10:03'),(22388,84,'Paws for thought','paws-for-thought','Sometimes Thailand is no place for the animal lover','I\'m constantly amazed by how many stray dogs and cats I see on the streets around Koh Samui.

Some are lucky enough to look half decent, others aren\'t that lucky. I\'ve seen a dog with a leg that was so broken, it dangled limply behind the dog and I\'ve seen a cat with a gouged out eye. But what happens? Do these animals crawl into a corner and get depressed? No, somehow, they seem to continue fighting through each day with their three legs or their one eye as if nothing had happened.</p>\n<p>For those of you who don\'t know how things work in Thailand when it comes to strays, here\'s the run down. The number of stray animals, in my opinion, is caused by three &lsquo;problems\'. Firstly, Thais aren\'t THAT keen on keeping pets, secondly they don\'t like &lsquo;harming\' animals and therefore won\'t put animals to sleep that are in distress, and thirdly, because there is a large number of strays and no one taking actual responsibility for any of them, neutering is practically non-existent. So you end up with hundreds, if not thousands, of animals roaming the streets freely, the number growing daily.</p>\n<p><img height=\"224\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Stray2.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>Saying that, most strays are good natured and I\'ve not ever had a run in with any of them other than some vicious barking when I was trying to walk along the beach. I cured this by barking back and I think the dogs were so confused, they didn\'t know what to do - so they stopped (either that, or they didn\'t want me to embarrass myself any further).</p>\n<p>It seems as if each road has their own set of stray animals. The Thai word for &lsquo;side road\' or &lsquo;small road\' is soi, so these animals are known as soi dogs and cats. People in that street might share the odd bit of food with these animals, throwing down scraps or left-overs but no one actually &lsquo;cares\' for them. None of them have a nice bed to curl up on, or fresh water to enjoy. None of them get cuddled or stroked or told how beautiful they are. I often see dogs walking up to people, tails wagging (as only dogs can do), only to be ignored and then walking away, tail down. It\'s heart breaking!</p>\n<p><img height=\"224\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Stray1.JPG\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>There\'s a definite hierarchy when it comes to dogs on the streets. In my street, there is a medium-sized brown dog who struts his stuff in such a manner that there is no doubt he is the alpha dog. He has a grubby side kick who is in desperate need of a dermatologist (and probably some tlc) and these two tend to keep their area in shape. They can both be found sleeping outside the 7-11 every day (as this provides them with sausages and sandwiches from travelling tourists who feel sorry for them) and in the early mornings, Alpha dog will join me part way on my walk along the beach, while grubby side kick continues to snore and drool on the steps of the 7-11.</p>\n<p>Each dog on the beach that approaches Alpha dog does so with extreme caution and all he does is stand tall, growl under this breath until the other dog becomes submissive. It\'s very curious to watch. One step out of line and he snaps at them, and immediately, they are flat on the ground, ears down. He sniffs at them and then trots off, usually followed by the offending dog. Other dogs join and keep their distance but they all seem to get along and some even dart up and down the beach playfully rolling in the sand and splashing in the sea.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Stray3.JPG\" width=\"224\" /></p>\n<p>I had a first hand experience of strays recently when I got adopted by a cat (yes, that IS worded correctly). He appeared curled up on my doorstep one day and before I knew it, I was putting out food for him, but at the same time telling people I didn\'t want a cat. I took him to the vet to get vaccinations and sadly, he became very sick and had to stay overnight for just over a week. I felt so sorry for him but a lot of people reminded me what would have happened if he\'d been on the streets. I\'m happy to report, he\'s fully recovered and chewing on my furniture as we speak.</p>\n<p>But not all animals have a happy story like Timmy does. That animal with the hanging broken leg probably went through hell on its own after the incident. How did it cope with the pain, how did it eat, how did it get through each day with nothing but the prospect of dying or surviving as a choice? The cat with the gouged out eye - how painful was it? How did the cat adjust to only being able to see out of one eye? Does it get picked on by other cats?</p>\n<p>We might not be able to talk to animals, but I reckon they\'d have some pretty amazing stories to tell us if we could. But pause for a second and imagine what strength of &lsquo;character\' these animals must have. How they tackle life and push through struggles with no love or support from anyone or anything. Would they laugh if we offered them anti-depressants? They might tell us that sometimes you\'ve just got to get on with things, no matter how much pain or distress you\'re going through, as long as you keep moving forward, you will survive.</p>\n<p>I guess humans can learn a lot from soi animals.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-03-20 06:09:58',1,'2014-03-20 06:09:58','2014-03-20 20:08:59'),(22391,85,'Don\'t believe all you read','dont-believe-all-you-read','Sorting out internet fact from internet fiction','When I was doing some internet research on living and working in Myanmar, I read some disconcerting things. I read some positive things. And I read some preposterous things that I simply couldn\'t believe until I saw them with my own two eyes.','<p>On my <a href=\"/blogs/joko-mackenna/my-first-year-as-a-teacher-in-thailand/\">first blog here at Ajarn.com</a>, I made some reflections on my first ten months teaching in Thailand. There was one important thought in the back of my head as I wrote that summary that I didn\'t include. Namely, soon I would be unemployed!</p>\n<p>Working for a government school on a ten-month contract, the end of school year wasn\'t the joyous and celebratory event it was for a student. No, as a teacher, summer meant I was out of a job. Until May. There were some overtures of wanting me back next year, but that didn\'t take care of my immediate concern: I needed a paycheck.</p>\n<p>Having only been in Thailand for that one year, my roots did not run deep, and so when I began my summer job hunt, once again here at Ajarn.com, I didn\'t constrain myself to just Thailand.</p>\n<p>I found a couple listings for jobs in Myanmar. Apparently, the recruiters next door know where to look for NES teachers: right here in Thailand. I applied, got an interview, and a week later I was on a flight to Yangon to begin a new job in another new country. Bit of a whirlwind, but it fit my needs for a job straightaway.</p>\n<p>Mind you, I had been considering Myanmar as my next destination for some time. I\'d heard old-timer TEFLers describe it as the next place to be. It\'s a new frontier in a country that\'s just opening up. A land of opportunity. It\'s the Wild West, Southeast Asian style. I began doing some research into what it\'s actually like here.</p>\n<p>I read some disconcerting things. I read some positive things. I read some preposterous things that I simply couldn\'t believe until I saw them with my own two eyes.</p>\n<p>Now, I\'m doing that. I\'m seeing things here. A lot of what I\'d read online about this place is turning out to be untrue or exaggerated. Some of it has been spot on accurate. After less than two weeks here, I don\'t want to seem like I am setting myself up as an expert. My reporting is based on but the slimmest of experience, but sometimes first impressions are the most accurate. I present to you: <strong>Myanmar - Fact or Fiction!</strong></p>\n<p><em> The internet is inaccessible or painfully slow</em>. Partially fact. At the language institute where I work in Yangon, our internet connection is very good. Nearly as fast as anything I came across in Thailand. We\'re on a wifi network, and at peak times in the afternoon when everyone in the office is checking Facebook at once, it can slow down and drops you, but all in all, it\'s acceptable.</p>\n<p>Mind you, as I write this, I have no internet access at home. I am still waiting for the local 3G mobile provider to turn on the data capability on my phone (which I paid for 5 days ago), from which I will use its mobile hotspot capability to go online, but since that hasn\'t happened yet, I rely on work and internet cafes. I was told internet cafes didn\'t exist here. They do, and their computers are faster than those at work. At 400 Kyats (13 Baht) per hour, they\'re quite reasonable as well.</p>\n<p><em>The cost of living in Yangon is high</em>. Mostly fiction. Food, beverages, cigarettes, sundries, transportation, laundry, office supplies, you name it, it\'s fairly cheap in Yangon. There is one glaring exception: housing. From what I\'ve heard, the Yangon housing market is booming. Property values are soaring. These value increases are trickling down into the rental market, and particularly, the rental market for the expat.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure the middle class Burmese living in a similar place to mine pays less than I do, but at $200/mo, it\'s not too bad. Amenity for amenity, my place probably would have been about 5,000 Baht/month in Bangkok. One does need to come up with either six month\'s or one year\'s rent up front however. You don\'t pay monthly rent here. You pay it all when you sign the lease.</p>\n<p><em>Western-style food is hard to find and expensive</em>. More fiction. True, there is no pizza delivery. There are no KFCs, McDonalds nor Burger Kings. I\'ve not roamed much beyond my little northwestern corner of the city, but even up here, I\'ve seen three Italian restaurants and 4 or 5 hamburger joints in a 3-mile radius. Many of the sit-down restaurants sell sandwiches along with Myanmar food. They all have french fries. Having just got here, I haven\'t had too many cravings for the tastes of home yet, but when I do, I\'ve plenty of choices and at about the same prices as you\'d find in Bangkok.</p>\n<p><img height=\"180\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/bk.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p>(Photo: Burger King hasn\'t reached Myanmar yet. Not <em>that</em> Burger King anyway)</p>\n<p><em> Myanmar food is unimpressive</em>. It\'s all either Chinese food or deep fried, I was told. Fiction. The local cuisine combines the many influences of the different cultures and traditions which make up the Union of Myanmar. The diversity of offerings is staggering, and I\'ve only begun to scratch the surface of this culinary wonderland.</p>\n<p>There\'s also plenty of Thai, Chinese and Indian dishes available, but I\'d have to say the food from Myanmar itself is the best. Furthermore, unlike in Thailand where sampling a random dish you\'ve never tried before could leave you grasping for the water bottle, sweating and with tears in your eyes, the food here is safe for those of us unimpressed by the power of the chili. It\'s not too spicy.</p>\n<p><em>The electricity goes out everyday</em>. Fiction. In my 12 days here, the power has failed twice, both times when I was in the middle of teaching a class. There were a couple minutes of inconvenience while the school\'s generator kicked on, but it wasn\'t a problem. Service came back within an hour. No one is going to say that any of the infrastructure here is world-class, but the daily power outtages I\'d read about haven\'t been my reality. We\'re not quite into the hottest part of the dry season yet, when I hear it gets worse because of the increased air-con use, but so far, the juice has flowed non-stop.</p>\n<p>A choice I made out of necessity is turning out really well... so far.  I feel confident that I will continue to thrive here in the Golden Land. If anything, my experience has taught me one thing that I\'ve learned many times before: don\'t believe everything you read on the internet!</p>','','2014-03-20 07:02:54',1,'2014-03-20 07:02:54','2014-03-20 21:09:55'),(22487,80,'This much I know part 2','this-much-i-know-part-2','What has life taught me so far in my 36 years','I actually know less and learn more with each year.

This much I know.</p>\n<p><strong>I actually know less and learn more with each year.</strong> I have stopped knowing everything- I spent my late teens and 20s in a constant state of arrogance and a self righteous belief that I knew everything. Arrogance is bliss because you never have to take on board anyone else\'s views.</p>\n<p><strong>Life through children\'s eyes makes for great learning</strong> whether it be a personal, professional or spiritual journey. Children have an enormous capacity for enthusiasm and their energy knows no bounds. I am sometimes envious of my three-year old\'s display of pure honesty from open adoration to complete dissatisfaction- all carried out with conviction that is awe-inspiring.</p>\n<p><strong>Friendships are the constant stability of my being.</strong> Family of course is always there but for real, hard to swallow gut-love, my friends with no caveat or judgement deliver every time. I have two friends from my youth who have always stuck by me- my friends Jude and Michael.</p>\n<p><strong>A little spirituality goes a long way.</strong> Believing in something is so important. I don\'t attach my beliefs to an organised religion but rely on the premise that all have got something beautiful to say and actually living by rules such as \'thall shall not steal or kill\' is a supremely sensible thing to do.</p>\n<p><strong>Love and kindness heal everything.</strong> A nice word or action makes your day instantly better as it does the person who receives it. I love the thought of random acts of kindness to strangers and I try to act upon it everyday.</p>\n<p><strong>Being kind to others is important</strong> but not as important as being kind to yourself. So what if you make mistakes? Learn from them and move on. Who cares if you miss a plane or turning? I have learnt to be big on fate. Fate takes you everywhere you are destined to be.</p>\n<p><strong>Perfect partners. My one wish is that everyone finds that perfect partner</strong> who loves them beyond words and measurement. It\'s one of life\'s pleasures to be curled up with unconditional love for someone and for that to be reciprocated. After 18 years of it, I can say I am truly blessed.</p>\n<p>Silver linings can be found everywhere.

I\'ve had co-teachers that were godsends - patient, helpful, welcoming.  And believe me, when you are teaching in Thailand it is damn near essential that you have a helpful co-teacher.</p>\n<p>I find it important to stress that in 18 months, the majority of the time I\'ve encountered lovely co-teachers - sweet, smiley, helpful.  But there are those, and I had this problem in particular at my first school, that seem to be taking out some unnamed vengeance on you for some grand scoping hatred of farang, a farang that went before you, or the system of English teaching.</p>\n<h3>\'Resentment\'</h3>\n<p>There is a palpable resentment coming from some of them, emanating and stifling the classroom from day one, for apparently no reason at all.  Unsure of what you\'ve done, and certainly without them ever telling you as is the Thai way, you will be the target of their resentment, and counterproductive obstruction to learning in the classroom for as long as you are there. Because that\'s what always happens when the Thai teacher and the farang teacher don\'t get along - everyone suffers, especially the children.</p>\n<p>The Thai teacher suffers because, well, she\'s apparently miserable.  The farang teacher will suffer because Thai teachers reign supreme, and so anything they tell the students will be done and what you tell them will not.</p>\n<p>And that situation, where you tell the students one thing, and the Thai teacher will contradict or override your instruction happens often in cases with the nastier of the Thai teachers.  I originally thought it was just me, or that it was just this one case, but as I befriended and encountered more farang teachers in Thailand (both while there and while teaching in other countries) I\'ve found that the majority of us have had an experience of that sort.</p>\n<p>You tell the students one thing, the Thai teacher tells them another, you try to get some sort of sovereignty in the classroom, and they override you, the class of six year olds is going crazy and you need help and they just sit smirking at you in the back.  Though I suppose there could be some lost in translation bizarre reason for this behavior that we are too farang to understand, I don\'t think so.  It feels more like spite, like some assertion of power or dignity, like revenge for wrongs done to them by other farang or the understandably frustrating system of English teachers receiving higher pay than they do.</p>\n<h3>Who\'s got the power?</h3>\n<p>Whilst teaching in Thailand I\'ve shared a classroom with about seven different Thai teachers (In various situations as a homeroom teacher or as a floating teacher). And from that total I really had only one that behaved this way.  But my god did she make a difference in that classroom. Pretty much nothing ever got done with those poor students because she was constantly contradicting or obstructing anything I tried to do.  And I honestly have no idea why.</p>\n<p>I even approached her once to ask what she wanted me to do differently, and how I could change whatever it was that upsetting her, and she just walked away with an angered look on her face - like she was mad I had brought it up to begin with.  And then never answered my question, but continued to be miserable and visibly upset with me.</p>\n<p>I had another friend who for the entire year she shared a classroom with a female teaching assistant - this woman refused to acknowledge her.  My friend would bring her gifts, wai her every morning, go out of her way to try to amend whatever rift was placed between them - but to no avail. The most she ever got was a complacent smirk.</p>\n<h3>Cheated out of money</h3>\n<p>Another friend of mine was repeatedly asked to cover extra afternoon classes, and was routinely never paid for it, only to find out later that another Thai teacher- who had nothing to do with the extra class - had been receiving the money instead.  When my friend inquired as to why this was happening, she was told: Because her brother is sick and she needs the money more than you do.</p>\n<p>Another of my friends routinely had to herald students back into the classroom, because each time she showed up, the Thai teacher would stare her down and then turn on a film or send the children out to do something else.  My friend would then have to say... \"Um, no no, not movie time, not play time, everyone please come back\"</p>\n<p>With experiences like mine, and similar ones I\'ve heard from so many of my friends and acquaintances I\'ve met, what do you think?

That said, I do have two students in one of my mathayom 2 (grade 8) classes who definitely have learning disabilities.','<p>I never gave them much thought when I was in school. Some people I considered \"normal,\" like myself, and some I considered \"special ed.\" Now that I am teaching, it has given me a different perspective. Because I am teaching primarily in an English program where students\' parents are paying for them to be there, I do not encounter many special education students.</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">Two \'different\' students</span></p>\n<p>If anything, I deal with a lot of what, in my school days, would be considered \"gifted.\" Because of that, most of my lessons are based around the assumption that most students will understand the material and be motivated enough to act whenever necessary. That said, though, I do have two students in one of my mathayom 2 (grade 8) classes who definitely have learning disabilities. While I consider myself a fairly good teacher, at least in terms of having students learn material, I am certainly not trained to deal with special needs children; I have been doing the best I can to reach these two students while catering primarily to the rest of the class.</p>\n<p>In Thai public schools, at least in my brief experience, students are usually grouped according to the \"norm,\" regardless of learning disabilities unless specifically requested by parents due to extreme cases such as blindness or deafness; in these cases, special public schools [apparently] exist for these students. For other, arguably less extreme disabilities such as attention deficit disorder or even dyslexia, students are generally grouped with \"normal\" students in an inclusion methodology; this basically means that the idea is to involve students of all abilities in the same setting to best reach the \"norm\" of the majority.</p>\n<p>I cannot speak for whether or not this works in all Thai classrooms, but I do know from experience that this inclusion method fits in with [my understanding of] Thai culture and child-rearing in that people are expected to act with the majority, at least until graduation. This follows suit with mandated morning assemblies, state sponsored Buddhist teaching, uniforms, and the general nature of respecting elders.</p>\n<p>Allow me to note here: I\'m not even getting into student ability versus family ability to pay for said student to succeed. I\'m just discussing the general, everyday students in Thai public/government schools.</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">Class acceptance</span></p>\n<p>Back to my two students: their parents truly believe that their being included with \"normal\" peers will be beneficial, and I honestly cannot fault them for either this belief or the results I have seen in class thus far. Both students, as I understand from my head Thai teacher and the personal [not from the school] counselor of each, have a mild case of autism. It\'s certainly obvious to both teachers and students, but the students are still generally able to function normally in class.</p>\n<p>Other students, at least by American standards, are quite accepting of them. Even when I assign group work in our science classes together, I have yet to have any students openly upset about being grouped with these two. The students seem to accept it, and \"carry\" the students through the assignment.</p>\n<p>Herein lies the primary problem, though; both special needs students have far inferior comprehension than their peers, and what ends up happening is that, especially in group work, they sit idle while the better able students do the work. I try not to allow this to happen, but realistically speaking, there are 30 students in class and one of me, and it\'s not fair for me to ignore the other students to focus on the needs of just these two.</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">Classroom management</span></p>\n<p>My approach thus far has been, whether in group or individual work, to get some of the strongest students in my class to help the special needs students while I go around helping and answering the questions of others; luckily, I have several students in each class that can easily serve as \"helpers,\" and these students have no problem being patient and helping the two lower achieving students.</p>\n<p>Generally, once the initial questions are answered, I will devote a good deal of the rest of class time checking up on the two in question, albeit without drawing direct attention to the fact; I don\'t want to single them out, specifically both for their sake and the sake of the class. I cannot say whether or not this approach is the best method for these two students or the others, but I feel it has worked to some degree given the circumstances.</p>\n<p>Luckily for these two students, their parents appear able to afford private tutors for them after school hours; although they do not make top grades in class, I can tell that someone is helping them study after our time together in class. I have not been instructed (and believe I\'m not allowed) to modify any materials for them, although I will fully admit that I have, from time to time, graded them to a different standard as the need arose. That said, I also sometimes grade my highly gifted students to a different standard. My goal is to be as fair to the students - all students - as much as possible, and sometimes that requires factoring in what I believe is each student\'s raw ability.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, due to the nature of the grading system at our school, it quite difficult to fail anyone, so even work that clearly shows comprehension to be lacking will not necessarily hold them back from advancing. I would argue that even these two students, after studying, at least understand more material than they don\'t, but there is certainly a lot of room for improvement.</p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">A question of available resources</span></p>\n<p>My mother is a seventh grade teacher in Georgia, and I am well aware of the multitude of special education initiatives that go on, ranging from her students integrated with \"normal\" students to fully self-contained (separate class) students. The law in Georgia (and many states) requires certain students with learning disabilities must have materials modified, as well as extra resources up to and including personal teaching assistants.</p>\n<p>Here in Thailand though, even in paid programs inside public schools such as mine, these resources simply are not available, and the number of students needing special attention is so small that it makes sense (to the majority) to treat special needs students the same as everyone else in the hopes that they can adapt. Personally, I call it the \"best of luck\" method.</p>\n<p>I am the first to admit that I can certainly handle the needs of non-typical students better. There are multiple ways to approach every issue, and within that framework, there are multiple conditions and resources with which to use. It is my hope that my judgment when teaching students with special needs has been beneficial for both them and their \"normal\" counterparts, but I certainly welcome any new insight into methods of best affecting all of my students.</p>\n<p>After all, at the end of the day, ESL teachers or not, we\'re [hopefully] all here for one primary reason: to help students learn.</p>','','2014-04-03 04:05:07',1,'2014-04-03 04:05:07','2014-04-03 18:06:08'),(22537,59,'Applying for the OEC certificate','applying-for-the-oec-certificate','Information and advice for Filipino workers abroad.','The Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) is a \'must have\' certificate for all Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers (OFWs) on leave/vacation returning to their country of work.','<p>The Overseas Employment Certificate   (OEC) is a \'must have\' certificate for all Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers  (OFWs) on leave/vacation  returning   to their  country of  work.

Although it was the first time, it was also the easiest.  I got it without any &nbsp; &nbsp;necessary papers except my passport. The officer      went through my passport, asked for my work permit and contract but I didn\'t have them. My   visa was okay, but she told me that she could not   approve   my application for clearance because I had no supporting documents.</p>\n<p>I was furious and told her that I had just came home for vacation and would return in a month\'s time; anyway I had my Non-B visa.  Convinced by what I said, she referred me to another person   next to her.  That person reviewed my passport and saw my visa and re-entry permit from Thailand, so she told her to act on it positively.</p>\n<p>The following year, I got it from the same office. But this time it was harder.  I  was the 100th applicant  and was patiently waiting for the services to begin when I read a sign on the left side of the hall stating  whoever wanted to enjoy   speedy processing of OEC could  queue  up there for additional amount plus delivery of OEC right to our doorsteps.</p>\n<p>I liked that idea because the line was not that long and I had no time to come back for the result.  I filled in another paper and I submitted it with my application. The officer examined my application and told me to proceed to the 2nd floor. I was puzzled because that floor was for people who changed employers. I did change my employer from Chulalongkorn to Ramkamhaeng . But what was the difference?</p>\n<p>I waited several hours   and while waiting for my turn I talked with other applicants. I was given a list of requirements to submit - contract, work permit, passport, visa, etc. I was worried because I did not have my contract again.  I searched everywhere at home but I could not find it. I was very sure I put it in an envelope before I left Thailand.</p>\n<p>Anyway, thanks to our company secretary who emailed my contract right away when I requested.  When I completed my papers, I went back.  It took so long for there were a lot of applicants but it was worth it.  For a change of employer, I paid more than 6,000 pesos ($150) compared to a renewal or new application that would cost only 1,800 ($45).  What a way to get money from OFWs.</p>\n<p>When I came home    the 3rd time, I got my OEC from Shoe Mart Manila (a mall). I learned that Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) opened offices in several centers for easy access of departing Filipino workers. I chose SM Manila because it was accessible for me. Getting an OEC there was faster and easier. There were fewer people.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my flight was at Clark in Pampanga. I travelled almost 3 hours from home and waited for another 3 hours just to be offloaded.  I was denied validation of my OEC by 3 POEA officials assigned that day. They were looking for proof why I stayed longer than 5 days even if I told them I had an eye operation. One more thing, it was Labor Day, so I couldn\'t get a new one.</p>\n<p>On the 4th time, I tried SM Manila again. I went to the 5th floor where I got my OEC 2 years ago. They had moved to another wing on the same floor. It was very spacious and less crowded. The procedure was posted and I went through it. It just took me 30 minutes. The officers were more accommodating and no numbers were given for the queue. Applicants just lined up in their seats and stood up to be served when the person ahead of them was done.</p>\n<p>In order that getting OEC will be hassle-free, try doing these.</p>\n<p>1.	Choose the nearest POEA Office in your region/area except the main office.<br />2.	Bring your Passport  valid at least 6 months from the date of departure<br />3.	Valid work visa/ work permit or equivalent  document<br />4.	Proof of Employment returning to the same employer<br />like Employment  Contract, Certificate of Employment, Company ID/ pay slip  (although they only looked at my passport)<br />5.	Money 8 thousand  pesos ( over $200) for those who changed employers,  for those applying for the first time  3,400 pesos ($85) and 1400 pesos ($35) or  less for renewal depending  on your case<br />6.	Bring your previous OEC if you travel more than once in a year in this case you pay 200 only.<br />7.	Multiple OEC is granted as long as you pay the required dues and necessary papers.<br />8.	Come early to be served first.<br />9.	Don\'t lose your OEC. You will have it validated before boarding.<br />10.	Never fly via Subic on a holiday especially when you stayed in the country for more than 5 days. Their POEA office outside the airport is closed. They won\'t validate your OEC.</p>','','2014-04-05 01:49:33',1,'2014-04-05 01:49:33','2014-04-05 15:03:34'),(22598,20,'#atweetaday','atweetaday','Organising a social networking project for students','Wouldn\'t it be great if students could use some of thier social networking time to develop their English? This was the thinking behind a project I started with my Mathayom 3 students - \'A Tweet a Day\'. ','<p>Facebook, Instagram, Line, Linkedin, Twitter, Youtube, Tumblr - the internet is connecting people in ways previously unimagined and whether you love it or hate it, it seems that social media is here to stay.</p>\n<p>Teenagers are the most prolific social network users - on average spending over 2 hours a day on these sites (although I\'m pretty sure some teens are online constantly from the minute they wake). But there\'s no need to be alarmed because recent research has concluded that using social networks is actual good for students as it provides a platform for them to develop critical thinking skills.</p>\n<p>While &lsquo;playing\' online these students are actually engaging in a wide range of higher level thinking skills such as - inferring, analyzing, summarizing, composing, creative thinking, and decision making.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately (from an English teacher\'s perspective) most Thai students use Thai while they are communicating on social networks. Now, without trying to sounding too idealistic, wouldn\'t it be great if students could use some of this time developing their English.</p>\n<p>This was the thinking behind a project I started with my Mathayom 3 students - \'A Tweet a Day\'.</p>\n<p>The project actually worked really well and the students loved it so I wanted to share this idea with other Mathayom / University teachers.</p>\n<p><img height=\"100\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/twitter3.jpg\" width=\"300\" /></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2777bd; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 16px;\">Why Twitter?</span></p>\n<p>I chose Twitter for this project because<br />- Tweets are limited to just 140 characters so students need to be concise<br />- Twitter accounts don\'t have huge amounts of personal information like FaceBook accounts do<br />- Not many of my students actually knew how to use Twitter<br />- By asking the students to use hashtags ( #atweetaday #m3english etc..) it was quick and easy to find and check their \'work\'.</p>\n<h3>Introduction Lesson</h3>\n<p>I started my project on a Monday and I spent the lesson discussing online social networking, asking the students which sites they used and how often. We then discussed the phenomena of social networking - \'why are they so popular?\'</p>\n<p>I then had the students work in small groups a draw up \'the rules of Social Networking\' asking them to focus on online etiquette and online safety.</p>\n<p>Finally, I explained the \'A Tweet a Day\' project and set the students their first homework - set up a Twitter account and introduce themselves using at least 2 adjectives</p>\n<h3>Hash Tags # # #</h3>\n<p>The use of hash tags was essential for monitoring and for the students being able to communicate with each other. I choose hash tags that weren\'t being used such as #M3eng (my class name) and #VareeEP (school &amp; programme). I explained that each and every homework tweet needed to use one of the hash tags.</p>\n<h3>Twitter Homework</h3>\n<p>I explained to the students that their work on this project would be graded and they were all required to complete the homework each day. I would also quickly review the homework each morning - sharing good examples with the class and questioning any students about missing Tweets -&lsquo; the internet was down\' quickly became the  most popular excuse!</p>\n<p><strong>Here are examples of the homework I set -</strong></p>\n<p>Day 1 - create account and introduce yourself using at least 2 adjectives<br />Day 2 - tweet about something you like and something you dislike doing<br />Day 3 - ask your classmates a \'Wh\' question &amp; reply to at least 5 of your classmates\' questions<br />Day 4 - ask your classmates a &lsquo;yes/no\' questions &amp; reply to at least 5 of your classmates\' questions<br />Day 5 - tweet about what you plan to do this weekend<br />Day 6 - tweet a picture of yourself and tell your classmates what you\'re doing (present continuous)<br />Day 7 - tell us what you did yesterday (past simple)<br />Day 8 - tweet an if clause (second conditional)<br />Day 9 - tweet your opinion about something at school and then reply to your classmates\' opinions (agreeing / disagreeing)<br />Day 10 - tweet one sentence including these four conjunctions - and, but, because, so<br />Day 11 - tweet a picture of a famous person and describe their appearance <br />Day 12 - tweet a famous quote then read your classmates\' quotes and vote for the best (student with most likes will win a prize)<br />Day 13 - a genie gave you 3 wishes - tweet your requests<br />Day 14 - tweet lyrics from a song you like then read your classmates\' quotes and vote for the best (student with most likes will win a prize)</p>\n<h3>Conclusions</h3>\n<p>At the end of the project we shared some of the favourite tweets and I asked for students to give their feedback on the project. Generally the students were positive about the activity and many of the students asked if it could be continued.</p>\n<p>As a teacher I found the project particularly useful for reviewing new grammar and new vocabulary - checking that students had understood and were able to apply new concepts was quick and easy.  I also found this useful because it gave the students opportunity for authentic &lsquo;real world\' application of their English skills, something that is difficult within the confines of the classroom.</p>\n<p>Finally something that surprised me was how much more confident the students were communicating through social media. We\'ve had class discussions in the past about how to improve school but not a lot goes past the &lsquo;better food in the canteen\' stage. On social media the students were far more forthcoming as you can see from the tweets below.</p>\n<p><img height=\"338\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/twitter2.jpg\" width=\"398\" /></p>\n<p>I actually continued using Twitter for homework assignments - although not on a daily basis ! - and I\'ve found that it is a medium on which the students enjoy communicating.</p>\n<p>With the new school year starting in just a couple of weeks I am planning to run the project again with my new class and I\'d recommend it to other mathayom/university teachers. I\'d be interested to hear from anyone that has tried this or something similar.</p>\n<p>You can contact me via Twitter (of course!)</p>\n<p>www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/twitter1.jpg\" /></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2014-04-21 06:53:49',1,'2014-04-21 06:53:49','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22611,41,'Coming to live and teach in Thailand?','coming-to-live-and-teach-in-thailand','You can do it - but have a plan!','First decide which camp you are in. There are two. Either you are coming to Thailand because you want to live here or you are coming to Thailand because you want to teach here. It\'s important to make this distinction.','<p>If you are tempted to leave it all behind and come to Thailand to teach English then this may interest you...</p>\n<p>But first, decide which camp are you in... There are two...Either you are coming to Thailand because you want to live here or you are coming to Thailand because you want to teach here.&nbsp;It\'s important to make this distinction, because if you are in the latter group of people (about 3%) then the rest of this article will be of no interest to you. If you are a professional teacher then everything will work out just fine. Your location is secondary to your profession. In fact if you DO choose the second option then you shouldn\'t be in Thailand anyway. Piss off to Japan, you do-gooder!</p>\n<p>For the overwhelming majority of us though, we want to live here... and teaching English is how we do it. And it seems easy enough, right? Just hop on a plane, hunker down in a cheap room till a job comes along, say two weeks, then start, well... living in Thailand! What could go wrong, right?</p>\n<p>Now, there are all colors of the rainbow when it comes to living and teaching English in Thailand. The following essay is aimed at those who want to live in Thailand long term and want to have a decent and secure (as secure as it can be in Thailand!) standard of living. It\'s NOT for the backpacking travellers or those who only want to spend a year or so here.</p>\n<p>I have nothing against people who travel and work for the sake of it. I spent a large chunk of my youth doing the same thing. Also, these reflections aren\'t aimed at professional teachers. Usually, professional teachers will have a very definite idea of who, what and where they want to teach.</p>\n<p>The following is a plan for those, like me, who want to live here for a long time in comfort and for whom teaching English is the best way to get that done.</p>\n<h3>About you</h3>\n<p>You probably have a degree. It\'s quite important. (It\'s not VERY important but your higher education will open up a lot of doors)<br />Your age isn\'t important but if you are between 30 and 50 then you will have more of an advantage.<br />You are clean shaven and comfortable wearing a tie if you have to.</p>\n<p>Are you still with me? OK, if you are, then here\'s the plan...It\'s a plan and plans never go to plan, I realize that!<br />Also, realize that you are starting at the bottom... be patient. Getting ahead in Thailand is easy. Read on to find out how!</p>\n<h3>Part one</h3>\n<p>The cash up front! Yes, it\'s always all about money. But coming to Thailand without much money can take ages to recover from, in terms of your goal to live here long term at a good level of comfort. You won\'t believe how much money you will hemorrhage when you get here for the first time. So, if you can, try to have at least 300,000 baht available to kick start your new life.</p>\n<p>Don\'t bother budgeting for stuff. This never works out the way you want it to. Just bring as much money as you can get your paws on. Basically, you want enough savings to live on for at least six months (ideally a year) without working at all!</p>\n<h3>Part two</h3>\n<p>The work. What kind of work should you do?<br />This is an easy question to answer... The answer is \"I have no idea!\"</p>\n<p>So, how do you find out where you are most likely to find a comfortable work environment? Will it be with kids? University students? Companies? &lsquo;One on one\' classes? Small groups of secretaries who just want to get better on Facebook?&nbsp;This is the start of your great adventure...</p>\n<p>If you are here for the long term, then you\'ll want to get a job that is most comfortable for you, right?</p>\n<p>So here\'s the first step of the plan... do every kind of teaching there is and then decide what you are best at or what you like the most. The best way to do that is by joining a language school and doing every single job they throw at you!</p>\n<p>I personally would recommend Inlingua, or somewhere similar. There are plenty of these types of places to choose from and this environment is the ideal place for inexperienced newcomers to Thailand to begin.&nbsp;And why\'s that? OK, since you asked...</p>\n<p>First off, you should consider your time at a language school as an apprenticeship.&nbsp;And why not...</p>\n<p>The hourly pay is reasonable for a freshman. (The hours are not going to be enough to live on but that\'s why you brought some savings with you, right?)<br />You will have a wide variety of students to teach (and learn from.)<br />These places are really well resourced. You can stock up your laptop with all their worksheets, etc.<br />You will meet loads of other teachers from whom you can learn from.<br />You will be getting invaluable classroom experience, teaching at almost every level.<br />They have free coffee and banana cake!</p>\n<p>Depending on how quickly you pick things up and how easily you assimilate to your new kind of work, I\'d recommend cutting your teeth at a language center for anything up to a year.</p>\n<h3>Part three</h3>\n<p>Getting a proper job.</p>\n<p>There will be a time during the course of your new career when you have that magic moment. This is the moment when you are at work and you realize that THIS is the kind of class you are best at, and happiest doing. It will hit you hard. It\'s orgasmic! You\'ll have a ridiculous smile on your face as it dawns on you that you can actually do something well and enjoy it... and not only that, people want to give you money to do it!</p>\n<h3>Anecdote one</h3>\n<p>I first started working in Thailand for a dreadful language school in Samut Prakhan. (About an hour away from Bangkok.) I was paid the miserable rate of 250 baht an hour for &lsquo;in house\' classes and 300 baht an hour for &lsquo;location based\' classes. And the cheeky sods had the nerve to deduct &lsquo;taxes\' from that! There were about eight of us &lsquo;farangs\' and because I was the only one who could drive a car (or admitted as much) I got my first corporate gig.</p>\n<p>My magic moment happened about half an hour before my first ever corporate class. It was for a company called Kingfisher and this horrible language school had secured the contract. As I waited for the attendees to assemble into the company board room, I remember clearly, looking out of the window, about thirty floors up, overlooking all the other sky scrapers in Bangkok, and thinking... \"I am a corporate English teacher. THIS is my calling!\"</p>\n<p>It was like I had just gotten laid for the first time. I had that huge grin on my face, because I knew that from that moment on, my future was in corporate teaching.<br />You will have a similar experience... be it corporate, university, high school or kindergarten... There will be that magic moment when you know what you do best.</p>\n<p>Are you experienced! (Old farts will get that!)</p>\n<p>So, by now, you\'ll have been in Thailand for %$#@ months and you are ready to make some real money... Things start happening quickly now and your confidence should be at an all time high!</p>\n<p>The great thing about cutting your teeth at a language school (even a rubbish one) is that you can boast to any future employer that you have taught... well, pretty much anything that any future employer will ask you!&nbsp;Also, by now, you\'ll be feeling pretty claustrophobic at work and be itching to get a good job. Even though you have only been living in the kingdom for a year or so (if that) you know that the language school was just a stepping stone to greater things.</p>\n<p>The other good thing about your apprenticeship at a language school is that there\'s a very definite point at which you can say to yourself that you have nothing more to gain by staying. They\'ll miss you when you have gone, but there\'s another &lsquo;you\', that\'s just got off the plane and he will eventually stumble through the same interview, with the same head of teachers, at the same language school, teaching the same students that you are leaving behind!</p>\n<p>It\'s time to move on...</p>\n<p>So, you\'ve had that &lsquo;magic moment\' epiphany and now you know what you want to do... Now\'s the time to start looking for that job that will (eventually) lead to comfort and stability in the TEFL rat race.</p>\n<p>Don\'t be afraid to aim high! You\'ve seen the ad... 50,000 baht for a teacher - starts immediately - specializes in what you are good at! GO FOR IT! Even if you don\'t think you\'ll get it or even deserve it! Don\'t let the bastards get you down!</p>\n<h3>Anecdote two</h3>\n<p>After a few months working for this abusive language school in Samut Prakan, I applied for a job I saw on Ajarn.com. It was for 40,000 baht a month at a factory not far from where I lived with my other fellow teachers. 18 hours a week and the contract was for three months. A HUGE step up from what I was earning!</p>\n<p>Just applying for the job caused me problems with the other farang teachers. Looking back, I don\'t know why I even told them that I had applied... but I was still on that steep &lsquo;This is Thailand\' learning curve.</p>\n<p>\"You\'ll never get that job!\" they wailed in unison. \"You haven\'t been here long enough - you aren\'t even a proper teacher - If it was that easy, we would be doing those jobs!\"&nbsp;Well, after about three weeks I was beginning to think that they were right. Who the hell was I, anyway! There were no replies from my application and I\'d about given up on this dream gig...</p>\n<p>But just as I was getting back into the good graces of my un-ambitious colleagues, the call came through. As it turned out, the job was too far outside Bangkok for anyone else to take. They were desperate for a teacher, even for one as inexperienced as me. I was nowhere near first on their list of preferred candidates... but I lived close by and I was enthusiastic! Sometimes that\'s what it takes!</p>\n<p>I took the job and left the language school. Unfortunately, I also left all those language school teachers behind. I felt slightly treacherous because I liked them a lot, despite their lack of ambition and fatalistic attitude toward themselves.</p>\n<p>Are you really a good enough &lsquo;English teacher\', by now?</p>\n<p>Over the last 15 years I have worked closely with hundreds of teachers. I\'ve worked alongside the most famous farang teacher in Thailand and I\'ve worked with the very worst teachers, also. They are all the same to me... I look at them teaching and I think \"Fuck me... I wouldn\'t ever do it that way.\"</p>\n<p>If you saw me in a classroom, you\'d also think the same thing about me... \"Bloody hell, I can\'t believe that tosser does that! I\'d do it much differently.\"<br />And you\'d be right to think that way. You should use all the experience you have with other teachers (good and bad) to find out what doesn\'t work in a classroom for you, as well as what does.</p>\n<p>And Finally!</p>\n<p>If you are coming to Thailand to stay, then have a plan. You can ignore my advice and experiences and still make it big here... but have a realistic plan.</p>\n<p>To cut this essay short and prevent it from becoming boring, I have skipped so much. I didn\'t even get started about how to work alongside Thai people, or your farang colleagues. I never got to say how to get that car and house and life that is within your grasp...</p>\n<p>But maybe by reading what I did manage to leave in, you\'ll have some idea of who you are, where you stack up and how you can make a great living for yourself out of this wonderful land of opportunities.</p>\n<p>Be patient... and learn from the best (and the worst)... and believe in yourself... and aim high!</p>\n<p>Good luck!</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/paypacket.jpg','2014-04-24 09:16:56',1,'2014-04-24 09:16:56','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22624,80,'In love with Li Pe','in-love-with-lipe','It\'s difficult to avoid the cliches when describing such a gorgeous island','In terms of beauty, Koh Li Pe outstrips the other islands we have visited.

My standout memory will be the purple-magenta skies as Li Pe descended into darkness','<p>When I read cliched phrases like \'breath-taking\' I usually raise a cynical eyebrow and turn the page. The following blog may cause offence - if you don\'t do cliches, click away now...</p>\n<p>Thankfully I am a teacher and I am able to really enjoy the school holidays. So more often than not, we head off for an adventure. Now I am assuming you are all beach lovers like my little family and me  and whilst I do really want to get to Pai, Issan and Sukothai, I find that after a long term teaching, I crave the beach.</p>\n<p>We have a criteria that we mentally score and compare islands with: Ease of travel, cost of food, the beaches and accommodation.</p>\n<h3>Where\'s Koh Li Pe?</h3>\n<p>Our latest trip was to Ko Li Pe which is nestled in the Adang-Rawi Archipelago in the Andaman Sea. It\'s closer to Malaysia\'s Lan Kwai than Thailand\'s mainland - expect jaw dropping scenery and the most awe-inspiring sunsets!</p>\n<p>In terms of beauty, this island outstrips the others we have visited. The turquoise seas are breathtaking and sublime for swimming and snorkelling. We took a day\'s excursion which cost 600Bht and visited several smaller islands in the archipelago. It was by longtail boat which is such a romantic way to traverse the Thai oceans. Our son delighted in the cheeky monkeys which \'stole\' his watermelon and gasped at the tropical fish which tickled his feet - the water so clear, he could enjoy snorkelling from above.</p>\n<p>The journey to Li Pe was epic - an hour by plane (try Tiger Line for the cheapest fares) and then bus and a three hour boat journey. Take food, drink and cash with you (as we found out, there is only one ATM on Li Pe which sometimes ran out of cash). The three hour boat journey was fine but there is no on-board facilities except toilets.  Our early flight from Bangkok meant we slept most of the boat journey.</p>\n<h3>Booking accommodation</h3>\n<p>We booked accommodation in advance but only book one or two nights so you can find something else if you don\'t like it (check the cancellation policy as many of Lipe\'s hotels will not offer you a refund). We found the budget and mid-range accommodation expensive and didn\'t offer the minimum standards we had expected especially when compared to other islands like Koh Phangan and Koh Chang. The higher end resorts on Li Pe definitely offered the quality and service which came with the higher price tag.</p>\n<p>Food was a definite highlight on Lipe. We found some great little places on \'Walking Street\' and prices ranged from 100Bht for fried rice with chicken to 150Bht for a massaman curry. The quality of food was superb but for me, the best surprise of all were the little bakeries serving up freshly baked breads and sandwiches. We were able to pack a little picnic of fruit and sandwiches and head to Sunrise beach for the day. My advice is to take a cool bag with you because the remote beaches are among the best.</p>\n<h3>Costly essentials</h3>\n<p>It\'s an island and we always expect to pay a little more for items because of the transport costs but 7/11 doubled everything. M+Ms usually 25Bht in our local branch were 50bht, apple juice cartons 27Bht compared to 18Bht here in Bangkok and don\'t expect the 7/11 offers either. If you can take some of the toddler\'s essentials with you like juice and cereal, it will definitely help to curb the doubled-daily spend. Some of the western-inspired restaurants charged 100Bht for a cup of coffee and 350Bht for a continental breakfast so it\'s worth checking the menus carefully before sitting down.</p>\n<p>There are no cars on Li Pe but a network of longtail boats and adapted motorcycle taxis ferry you everywhere for around 50Bht per person. It\'s only a small island and very easy to navigate. We took the number of a local taxi driver, Phat, who we called to collect us from our hotel. The island is small enough to walk around but we had the toddler in tow and after dinner or beach bathing, neither of us wanted to carry him home.</p>\n<p>The main beach is Pattaya beach and was perfect for bathing, the beach is cleaner at the furthest ends so walk 10 mins in either direction to enjoy it at its best. At night there are a range of beach bars for you to enjoy a sundowner or a BBQ dinner.</p>\n<h3>\"A nice atmosphere\"</h3>\n<p>There\'s a nice vibe to Li Pe, every Monday there is a volunteer beach clean up in which helpers are paid by way of a free lunch. The islanders are tuned in to their environment and respectful as much, and as far, as tourism allows. There are signs everywhere to save water and to put rubbish in bins.</p>\n<p>My standout memory will be the purple-magenta skies as Lipe descended into darkness, the white sands of Sunset Beach mirrored the hues and every night a magical feeling dances on your skin as you breath in the natural beauty of such an amazing little island.</p>\n<p>We definitely fell in love with Li Pe!</p>\n<p>What are you favourite islands and why?</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>','','2014-04-26 04:56:29',1,'2014-04-26 04:56:29','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22635,57,'The hidden gardens of Bangkok','the-hidden-gardens-of-bangkok','You\'d be surprised how much green there is out there','Finding peaceful, open spaces outside of Bangkok is easy enough, but tranquility within the central areas of the city is near to impossible, unless of course, you know where to look. \n','<p>Each year the madness of Thailand\'s Songkran festival affords most of us a few days off, yet without much actual peace to look forward to. All the main streets and side roads in Bangkok - along with other towns and cities across the country - are packed full of non-stop party-goers and rowdy revelers, most of whom are throwing, squirting, and tipping water frantically at one another - relentlessly!</p>\n<p>Those who do not actually want to get involved in this annual water war will still be subject to a good dousing whenever they step foot outdoors. Protests of, \"Please, no, I don\'t want to get wet\", will not only fall on deaf ears, but actually make the one protesting a more interesting target.</p>\n<h3>Escaping the Madness</h3>\n<p>Perhaps you\'re someone who cares little for Thailand\'s three day, nonstop water fight, or any of its other raucous street events where fireworks are often thrown around indiscriminately - day or night - by impulsive revelers? If so, then you will relish the thought of finding a safe haven from all the lunacy, a place to kick back and relax, somewhere to enjoy the public holidays in a way where you get to control the outcome of your days. So do such oases exist in the Thai capital, or is this just wishful thinking?</p>\n<p>The short answer is yes they are out there. In fact there are numerous great escapes around this sprawling metropolis but they usually come at a price. I am not referring to sun-decks with shaded covers here, as generally they tend to be situated far too close to a pool. Plonk yourself near to water during many of Thailand\'s party festivals and there\'s a very good chance of getting drenched by hordes of highly excitable youths and a handful of tanked-up Farangs. No, you want to stay away from the poolside if it\'s R&amp;R you\'re after.</p>\n<h3>The Hidden Gardens of Bangkok</h3>\n<p>Finding peaceful, open spaces outside of Bangkok is easy enough, but tranquility within the central areas of the city is near to impossible, unless of course, you know where to look.&nbsp;In recent years, condominium and housing developers have tried to address this very problem by building small, yet very well designed, totally private garden areas for residents to relax in.</p>\n<p><strong>Asok\'s Little Garden of Eden</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/the-address-asoke-2945\">The Address Asoke</a> is a modern condominium situated right in the heart of Bangkok. In fact, it could not be more central with both the Phetchaburi MRT station and the Makkassan Airport link less than 100m from its entrance. The Address Asoke is a high-end residential complex with large, well designed studios, plus lavish one, two, and three bedroom units to choose from. &nbsp;Of course, the Address Asoke is filled with the usual luxuries, fixtures, and fittings that you\'d expect to find in a high-end condominium. There are some great building facilities too, a few or which include:</p>\n<p>&bull;	Beautiful swimming pool<br />&bull;	Fully equipped fitness room<br />&bull;	Sauna<br />&bull;	Manmade waterfalls &amp; water features<br />&bull;	Jacuzzi</p>\n<p>However, the really cool feature with some of the units at the Address Asoke is their private gardens. These can be found on both the high and low floors. Imagine that, a condo with its own garden. The penthouse unit on the 21st and 22nd floors, for example, not only affords beautiful panoramic views of the city, but also includes 130 SQM of private rooftop terrace/garden to boot.</p>\n<p><strong>The Villa Sathorn</strong></p>\n<p>Moving on to the Sathorn district, just over the river close to Krungthonburi BTS station, <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/villa-sathorn-krungthonburi-2443\">we find The Villa Sathorn</a>. This is another condominium where the developer has acknowledged that giving residents a private garden is an important feature for modern day city dwellers. Unlike the personal gardens found at the Address Asoke, the Villa Sathorn does not provide private spaces for individual residents, but it is exclusive in as much as the area\'s reserved solely for the residential community living in the condo, and any guests they might invite.</p>\n<p>The main benefit of a communal garden area of course is that it\'s a lot bigger. The mini parkland at this complex has been built on top of the multi-story car-park and set at the back of the building. It\'s located so that bored commuters on the BTS line cannot gawp through the windows at residents relaxing outdoors. Furthermore, the garden is nowhere near the swimming pool, so that means there\'s zero chance if getting splashed or being disturbed by those frolicking noisily in the water.</p>\n<p>This garden area really is landscaped to perfection and resembles something of mini-park in the sky if you like, and one which is exclusive, peaceful, and totally hidden from the world outside.</p>\n<h3>An Older, Less Hidden Gem</h3>\n<p>Even some of the older residential buildings in Bangkok have retained enough land to have large lawns and some kind of landscaped garden. <a href=\"http://www.easyhomes.tv/property/sunshine-court-klong-toey-165\">Sunshine Court in middle Sukhumvit</a> is one such a place. The building may not be the newest or the swankest in town when compared to some of the modern, high-end properties, but it has developed its own character. Sunshine Court also offers plenty of large, well-priced units, and it includes popular facilities such as a tennis court, swimming pool, and a large lawn area.</p>\n<p>Any visitor to Sunshine Court will find likely residents relaxing on and around on the central lawn area soaking up the sun. The place is also popular with families where children get to have picnics and play safely on the grass. Residents here describe the place as a tranquil retreat in the heart of Bangkok!</p>\n<h3>Bangkok - Earth\'s Biggest Concrete Jungle?</h3>\n<p>The old Krungthep has fewer square meters of public greenery per capita than most other major cities around the world. So when a central condominium complex here offers a luxurious private garden area within its walls, then it really does stand out from the crowd. However, the rising price of real estate means that land has become such a premium in the capital, especially central Bangkok, and that makes these gardens both rare and in high demand. Even so, there are a few out there, usually quiet hidden, often unknown, but there nonetheless, for those who seek them out.</p>\n<p>So if you appreciate a bit out outdoor living, complete with lawns, flower borders, trees, shrubs, and water features, yet still want all the conveniences of a condo lifestyle in central Bangkok, then properties like the above might be exactly what you\'re looking for, providing of course, your budget provides the option.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

Why aren\'t YOU making the whole 2,000 baht an hour - and cutting out the middle man?','<p>To get corporate work in Bangkok you usually have to go through a language school or another company. It can be a great way to boost your income. The hourly rate can be considerably higher than in-centre teaching work but the flip side is that the work is inconsistent and involves a lot of travelling.</p>\n<p>It\'s a risk. You weigh up what\'s good about the contract (salary, contract duration, location, etc.) and then what isn\'t good about it (time at work versus time travelling, where and when the next job will be, etc.) The best that most of us can hope to do is to mix in some corporate work with other more reliable means of support. <strong>But it doesn\'t have to be that way....</strong></p>\n<p>If a company is paying you 800 baht an hour to work then how much are they making for themselves?&nbsp;Why aren\'t YOU making the whole 2,000 baht and cutting out the middle man?&nbsp;Because it\'s bloody hard work, that\'s why! But I do it and there may be a few people out there who want to do the same.</p>\n<h3>Don\'t do it. It\'s suicide!</h3>\n<p>To figure out whether you should be trying to secure your own contracts, it\'s worth laying out the reasons why you shouldn\'t.</p>\n<p>The first reason is that it can take anything up to a year to get that contract signed. It takes a lot of patience to finally get everyone at the company together and agree on a program. A language school can wait for the pieces to fall into place because they have a lot of other companies on the go at the same time.</p>\n<p>The next reason is that these contracts may be for as little as twenty hours. It\'s a lot of work to organize and prepare a contract and a course for a company that only wants you around for a few hours.</p>\n<p>Also, companies like to change their suppliers all the time, leaving you out in the cold when it comes to renewal.</p>\n<p>They also bury themselves in awkward-to-reach places around the country, so transportation to and from their offices and factories may be more trouble than its worth when you are going to meetings and not being paid.&nbsp;You ideally need a reliable (and economical) car.</p>\n<p>Then you have to rely on yourself for all the materials you\'ll need for your classes.<br />You\'ll have to set yourself up as a registered company.<br />You have to have enough money in the bank to accept the staggered payments system that companies work with.<br />You can\'t be sick or unavailable when you have an injury or you just want a day off.</p>\n<p>The following is just a very general guide and there is a lot missing.&nbsp;I could write a book on a detailed way that this can work out for you, but this is just a very broad overview.</p>\n<h3>What are companies looking for...?</h3>\n<p>Whenever I meet with a company for the first time, they have a list of complaints about other providers that they have used in the past. So if you understand what a company wants (or doesn\'t want!) then you can address these things before they ask you about them.</p>\n<p>Number one issue with all the companies I have worked with is this... \"They changed the teacher halfway through the course.\" Maybe the original teacher got bored or fired, who knows. But if you place a heavy emphasis on the fact that YOU will be there teaching every class, you\'ll have an advantage.</p>\n<p>The next biggest complaint is the materials used for teaching. They are either boring or not appropriate or even at the right level of English for the employees to learn from. And this is why companies with big training budgets jump from place to place looking for something half-way decent for their employees.</p>\n<p>But it seems so easy, right? Have a good program in place, with one teacher doing the work and you\'ve got a plan! So why don\'t corporate providers do this? Well, they employ unreliable staff, heavy handed salesmen and they are selling books, not programs. It\'s as simple as that.</p>\n<h3>Getting your foot in the door.</h3>\n<p>Let\'s assume that you are starting from scratch and you don\'t have contacts. You\'ll need to speak with someone on the inside. Usually, it\'s human resources. That\'s not easy because all these companies and factories are like fortresses when it comes to getting anywhere near the office!</p>\n<p>You\'ll have to write and email every head office and HR manager of all the companies you are interested in working with. And you\'ll have to do it more than once. Training budgets start at the beginning of the financial year so this is the best time to fire off your first wave of letters of intent.</p>\n<p>Finding these companies can also be a time consuming endeavor. Even the smallest engineering companies may have a budget for training. One way that I have used is to go to an industrial estate and drive around the whole place and make a note of all the companies in it. The second time you go you should have a personalized letter of introduction to every one of them, ready to hand to the gatekeeper/security guy outside.</p>\n<p>He\'ll pass the letter onto someone in the office and just maybe it\'ll end up in the right person\'s hands. In Bangkok it\'s a bit easier. You can go to an office block and read the names of the companies from the directory in the reception area.</p>\n<p>Also, go to companies that you know already have contracts with language schools. All the oil companies, the drug companies, the international ones, even Tesco Lotus! They all have training budgets and part of their training is learning English.</p>\n<h3>Your first meeting.</h3>\n<p>So you\'ve got a preliminary interview with the training manager, the head of human resources and maybe one or two department managers.</p>\n<p><strong>Have your pitch ready.</strong></p>\n<p>First, don\'t confuse their friendly enthusiasm with the prospect of securing work. They are just happy to get out of the office for an hour or so. They may even have no intention of hiring you... but it\'s still an opportunity to get them interested or at least to practice your pitch.</p>\n<p>The negotiations with companies are almost always conducted by Thai representatives from a language school. It will be more difficult for you to come to a detailed arrangement with an organization but what you are offering them will offset this obstacle.</p>\n<p>During your presentation you will have to offer a few things that haven\'t been offered to them by your predecessors.</p>\n<p>The most important one is your demo lesson. Offer to teach a class for free at any time in the future. No language schools do this. They are content to sell books as courses. Tell them that if they round up a few volunteers you\'ll be happy to come back and spend the afternoon with them to demonstrate a typical class. Don\'t forget to tell them what you need... projector, screen, whiteboard, etc.</p>\n<p>Stress that the courses that you are offering will be custom designed for their company and NOT from a text book. This is important because every single text book that students have worked from in the past has been either boring, too difficult to understand or just irrelevant to their training and work.</p>\n<p>Bring resources with you to the first meeting. If you have already designed classes, then show them off. Hand out copies of course-work you have made. Have a company logo at the top of each page that shows them that this course was written for a specific company. These professional looking documents will go a long way to impress the panel.</p>\n<p>Another important aspect of your pitch is how you will wind up the course and organize the student evaluations. This takes up a lot of your time that you won\'t be getting paid for but for the companies this is very important. They will want detailed accounts of each student and how they performed.</p>\n<p>Accept (or suggest) a tour of the offices or factory and ask about what specifically they want their employees to focus on in an English class.<br />Let them know that they will only have one teacher for the entire duration of the course... YOU!<br />In the future you will have to level-test all the students. Explain how you will do this and how each level of training will be different.<br />Ask a lot of questions about what they want from an English language course and take notes.<br />Exchange your business card with everyone you meet.</p>\n<h3>You don\'t get paid by the hour anymore</h3>\n<p>The costs of designing and printing a course specific for one company will be a determining factor on how much you are going to bill them. You may be designing a conversation class for half a dozen managers for twenty hours. You may be asked to transcribe technical jargon for twenty-five ground floor engineers for sixty hours. Either way, this is where you will be spending your twilight hours... hunched over a computer, writing classes.</p>\n<p>The way you bill a client will be different for each company and each course. The following is typical of one I have for a recurring class I do every year in Samut Sakhon.</p>\n<p>The course is for 100 hours. I get three checks. After 30 hours, after 60 hours and after the reports have been handed in, at the end of the course. This means that for the first year that I worked at this company, I negotiated a contract that took months, designed 100 hours of classroom work that took endless days and nights, spent a fortune on printing and copying and then worked for 30 hours before I got a penny!</p>\n<p>In this instance I have been working at the company for four years. So now I just show up with the same lesson plans already prepared. (I still have to spend a lot of time evaluating the new students before and after the course.)</p>\n<p>What you charge will be up to you and the company you work for. I\'d suggest starting at 1,200 baht an hour. Don\'t work for less. You are undercutting the language schools and providing a custom-designed course, which is better than anything the language schools can offer, right?</p>\n<p>Don\'t forget to agree on a cancellation policy that will be a part of the contract. I\'d recommend that you be flexible but allow them (officially but not binding!) four cancellations for each course.</p>\n<h3>Wrapping it all up</h3>\n<p>It\'s important to work closely with human resources or whoever is in charge of training. Your relationship with them will determine your future with the company. Bring a small gift for them when you show up with the final evaluations.</p>\n<p>Explain to them what you are doing every step of the way. This includes sharing thoughts on how the course is progressing. The course design is a whole other subject, but... Teach to the level of the students you are teaching. Make it fun and keep interesting... especially if the class is in their own time after work!</p>\n<p>Your students will report back any minor transgressions that they pick up on so be professional. Be early and look smart.</p>\n<p><strong>In conclusion...</strong></p>\n<p>Well, there\'s so much that I haven\'t managed to include. Like I say, this is just a &lsquo;skim the surface\' essay on what could work for you. But if you are a professional corporate teacher and you are willing to invest your time, the rewards can be awesome. Thailand really is the land of opportunity in the field of corporate teaching. And after your first three or four contracts, if you are doing your job properly, you\'ll be amazed at how easily the rest will come your way.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/satchel2.jpg','2014-04-28 07:23:46',1,'2014-04-28 07:23:46','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(22640,20,'No thank you U-NET','no-thank-you-u-net','The latest brainwave from NIETS','Not content with creating incomprehensible, inaccurate and often absurd examination questions for primary and secondary school students, NIETS are now planning a standardized exam for all students finishing university','<p>It seems there is no stopping the National Institute of Educational Testing Service\'s (NIETS) ambitious plans for total control over the nation\'s education system.

Perhaps yet another multiple choice paper which tests students ability to memorize and rote learn ....?

Are NIETS flexing their muscles to intimidate the universities?</p>\n<p>After all  many of Thailand\'s top universities have been critical of the O-NET exams. Most top universities now use their own entrance exams as a more reliable method of testing students abilities because they dont trust the O-NETs.  As a result many students have their university place booked and confirmed a couple of months before they even walk in to the O-NET exam room.</p>\n<p><strong>The reaction so far</strong></p>\n<p>Within hours of this plan being made public, <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/WeareAntiunet\">a Facebook page was set up</a>, which received over 50,000 likes in 24 hours.&nbsp;NIETS be warned - upset Generation Y and they will fight back from the comfort of the university campus coffee shops.

On May 16, the first day of school   they will be receiving their books, notebooks, bags, and school materials. This is a special day for my English classes for this is the time I collect their English notebooks to label, to stack in place, and be ready to use when needed. Do you know why I do this?  Well, you might have experienced in your own school that many Thai students seem to pay little importance to their notebooks. They either mutilate, vandalize, forget, and worst of all lose them.</p>\n<p>You see, previously in my school it was an uncommon event. When I asked students to draw, copy, or write something, a number of them would have nothing to write on. If I   asked,  \"Where\'s your notebook?\"  They would answer,\" I left it at home, teacher. I lost it, Teacher, or would say\" Lom\", would run back to their classroom to get them or would go to the bookstore to buy one. Not only that, when copying, they would borrow liquid erasers from classmates. They wanted accuracy in their writing but they couldn\'t  come up with  the right thing. As a result pages were torn until   only half of it or even a third of it was left.</p>\n<p>Well, every time students entered my English room, they would bring their notebooks, pencil cases, pens, pencils, and colored pencils . Unfortunately, after class, many would leave their notebooks in the English room and never bother to look for them. So, whenever they left them, I would put them on top of the shelves and wait for them to be retrieved. Somehow, only a few would remember and come back, but most of them never bothered. In fact I was able to collect a huge number of notebooks.</p>\n<p>Because the notebooks were labeled in Thai, I would not know who owned them, what grade they were, or who the teachers were. Was it because   notebooks  were given free of charge so students couldn\'t care less?  How come they  could run to the store and buy a new one when they forgot their notebooks or lost them?</p>\n<p>To rectify these student habits, during the  first meeting of the term , I would collect their notebooks in English. I would write their names and grades on them for my easy reference. I would do this so that   everyone had something to write on. Then I would start training them how to write properly in their notebooks.</p>\n<p>I would guide them by writing permanent lines on the board as if the board looked like the lined pages of their notebooks. When they copied, I would point out to them  that   the beginning of  sentences were written in big letters and the following letters in small letters occupying only half of the space  except when writing  proper names, when first letters were written big. Oh, from the time I had the notebooks left in the classroom, I didn\'t have problems anymore.</p>\n<p>Maximizing the use of notebooks includes using it as a spelling notebook, as a note to copy structures, vocabulary, writing descriptions, as a diary or journal, or to &nbsp;answer exercises. It is also used to encourage responsibility in distributing, collecting and taking care of one\'s school material.</p>\n<p>Friends of mind said that they give importance to notebooks of students by grading them, giving  stickers to those who have  complete notes , stamping them with positive comments,  and giving points to those who have complete, neat, and beautiful notebooks as part of their grade.</p>\n<p>So, to lessen your headache about notebooks, let students leave them in the classroom. Chances of losing, forgetting, and messing them up is indeed very remote.</p>','','2014-05-13 05:25:07',1,'2014-05-13 05:25:07','2014-05-13 19:07:08'),(23167,75,'Thailand teaching stuff - May 2014','thailand-teaching-stuff-may-2014','Another picnic basket of tasty blog links','Hi everyone, it\'s Peter Clarke again, with a selection of my favourite internet blogs and articles that I hope will appeal to teachers in Thailand.

Well, actually you don\'t need to be a teacher, I think anyone who has an interest in all things Thailand will enjoy them.</p>\n<p>One of my favourite blogs written over the last couple of months was by a long-term Thailand expat called Greg and appeared on his on-line blog site \'Greg to Differ\'. I\'m not sure if Greg has just got tired of using public transport, but after many years in the kingdom, he\'s decided to get himself a Thai driving licence.</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard all sorts of stories from other foreigners about how easy or difficult the Thai driving test is and how tedious the whole paperwork process can be, so it was refreshing to see a foreigner write a step-by-step account of <a href=\"http://gregtodiffer.com/getting-a-thai-drivers-license-the-hard-way-taking-the-test/\">\'The Day I Applied for a Thai Driving Licence</a>\' (with photographs) Most of the steps sounded relatively painless but I\'m still going to take my chances with the taxis and buses thank you very much. I haven\'t driven in Bangkok since I arrived here and I\'ve no desire to start.</p>\n<p>I\'ve mentioned Paul Garrigan in my blogs before. Paul is another long-term expat and works as a freelance writer. Paul makes no secret of the fact that a large part of his life has been spent fighting an alcohol addiction and he often writes on the topic of alcoholism to give hope and encouragement to others. Paul\'s blogs are all about journeys of self discovery and leading a fulfilling life.</p>\n<p>This month he wrote about his burning desire to <a href=\"http://paulgarrigan.com/my-quest-to-speak-fluent-thai-in-six-months/\">become fluent in the Thai language</a> - in just six months! Wow! We certainly wish him well. Read his blog to find out just how he plans to reach his goal.</p>\n<p>One of the biggest talking points recently has been the scrapping of the 15-day and 30-day \'visa on arrival\' if you enter Thailand at a land border without a proper visa. These \'border hops\' have become a way of life for thousands of foreigners living here who either can\'t afford to or just can\'t be bothered to exit the country and go get a proper Thai visa from a Thai embassy or consulate abroad.</p>\n<p>When the new rules were announced a week or so ago, expat forums and discussion boards went into overdrive and there have been numerous articles and blogs written on the topic. <a href=\"http://www.establishmentpost.com/axe-falls-thailand-visa-run-border-hop-residents-workers/\">This article from The Establishment Post</a> was probably one of the most informative and gave a good overview of the current visa situation. This article from <a href=\"http://asiancorrespondent.com/122578/thailand-visa-run-crackdown-could-create-headaches-for-expats/\">The Asian Correspondent</a> was worth a read as well.</p>\n<p>Now what\'s this?

But on a much darker note, The Guardian UK <a href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/10/thailand-trade-fake-passports-crime-gangs-world\">ran this interesting story</a> about how foreign passports, stolen in Thailand, could be fueling organised crime gangs around the world. What a scary thought that is! It\'s one of the golden rules - always keep an eye on your passport and know exactly where it is.</p>\n<p>Are you one of those teachers who spends far too much of your class prep time nosying at what your friends are up to on Facebook? I can take or leave Facebook - it\'s useful for sharing photographs with family and friends but I certainly don\'t let it take over my life.

More and more long-termers it seems are getting \'trapped\' not only in Thailand, but other countries in SE Asia. Perhaps the option of returning home has long gone, but combine ailing health, a poor exchange rate when transferring money from home, not to mention the ever-changing visa regulations and many expats are feeling the pinch and surviving here on less and less money.

Do not misunderstand me. I love Bangkok. The constant rush, lack of self-awareness, cosmopolitanism, and mix of East and West constantly excite and challenge me. However, sometimes it can be pleasant to get away.</p>\n<p>Living in such a hectic town can really zap one\'s energy. Despite its unique charm, Bangkok often feels like the capital in The Hunger Games, except all of the natural beauty has been shipped off to the other provinces. Bangkok, at least in certain parts, has the opulence and the elitism of the capital in that film, but it is missing the beauty of the Thai landscape. With all of the islands, mountains, waterfalls, and pastoral farmland only a short distance away, there are really no good excuses not to see some of the \"real\" Thailand from time to time.</p>\n<p>Last week, I went to nearby Kanchanaburi province for three days with my girlfriend. Initially, we planned on visiting the Death Railway after seeing the film The Railway Man. However, we were sidetracked from our initial plans after we learned of all the things to do in this large province. &nbsp;Allow me to share a brief synopsis of our trip.</p>\n<p>We spent the first night a few kilometers out of town, at Xanadu Resort. It\'s a great, relaxing place with a pool and river view. There was also a small Thai village nearby. It was a bit of a trek, but we were able to hike over there and enjoy some fresh fried rice and conversation (well, what we could manage to get across) with the locals.</p>\n<p>We decided to move into the town itself for our second night, so we moved to PY Guesthouse near the JEATH War Museum. It was a small place run by some of the nicest Thai people I have met. They picked us up from nearby the War Cemetery and drove us to the bus station when we later went to Erawan Waterfalls. The guesthouse also had free bicycles and a couple of surprisingly good motorbikes for rent. All of this was only 600 baht per night.</p>\n<p>During our second day, we got up early and went to the JEATH War Museum, which was an informative yet poignant experience. We decided early on that we would visit Erawan Waterfalls and the Tiger Temple. However, the motorbike at our guesthouse was taken, so getting to the Tiger Temple proved to be too difficult. Luckily, there was a bus service to Erawan Waterfalls. Erawan Falls is a seven-level waterfall and national park. It costs 200 baht for foreigners to enter, but if you show your work permit, then they will charge you the Thai rate of 40 baht. We stayed at Erawan until 4 pm. We were unable to make it to the seventh level due to lack of time and thirst, as we had forgotten to pack water for the trip. We turned around at the fifth step. Next time, I will make sure to bring water and not get so sidetracked at each level of the waterfall.</p>\n<p>We arrived back in Kanchanaburi Town at around 5:30 pm and visited the War Cemetery. There was another museum nearby, but it was already closed. After the cemetery, we took a motorbike out to the famous Bridge on the River Kwai. The train passed us while we were on the bridge. It was both nerve-wracking and humorous to see so many Thai people taking selfies on the train tracks in front of the moving train. The train chugged along languidly, so it was not as dangerous as it sounds. Still, it did make me wonder whether most Thais have any conception of their mortality.</p>\n<p>We took the train back to Bangkok, which was an experience I have ambivalent feelings about. The views were great; the speed and allergies were not. In addition, with all the protests, the traffic in Bangkok was horrific, so getting from the Thonburi train station to the BTS was quite difficult. Still, I think it was worth it just to hear some old Thai women telling the security guard to Jai yen yen when he told them to hurry up as they were getting off the train.</p>\n<p>After living abroad for a long period of time, it is easy to get jaded. Everything starts to feel the same and it seems as if all locals see westerners as walking ATMs. Getting out of the major cities and certain tourist areas (Samui, Pattaya, etc.) allows you to rediscover the Thai capacity for extraordinary kindness and generosity. If anyone is looking to get away for a few days, or even longer, then I would highly recommend Kanchanaburi. I realize that I may have failed to capture its charm in this essay, but that is not the province\'s fault: it is the fault of my writing and the ineffability of raw experience. If you do not believe me, check it out for yourself. I know I will be back.</p>','','2014-05-20 03:48:44',1,'2014-05-20 03:48:44','2014-05-20 17:05:45'),(23729,57,'Where\'s my local shop?','wheres-my-local-shop','Bangkok truly is a shopper\'s paradise.','It\'s little wonder that people are flying in from India, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) Laos, Vietnam, Singapore and HK, purely for the shopping.

Even well-travelled expats living in the Thai capital will tell you that this city has become something of a shopping mecca in recent times. Today, it is the citizens of neighbouring countries who travel to Bangkok for weekends of retail therapy, and it\'s hardly surprising when you consider what\'s on offer.</p>\n<p><strong>Most Popular Shopping Malls in Bangkok</strong></p>\n<p>Apart from the plethora of specialist shops scattered strategically all over downtown Bangkok and beyond, Thailand has seen some of the finest shopping malls set down their foundations in the county\'s most populous city, 10 of which include:</p>\n<p>1.	Central Chidlom Bangkok<br />2.	Central World, Siam<br />3.	Gaysorn Shopping Mall<br />4.	MBK, Siam<br />5.	Pantip Plaza, Pratunam<br />6.	Platinum Fashion Mall, Pratunam <br />7.	Siam Center, Siam<br />8.	Siam Paragon, Siam<br />9.	Terminal 21, Sukhumvit Road<br />10.	The Emporium, Phrom Phong</p>\n<p>The above is a mere sprinkling of what\'s actually on offer, with more new projects constantly in the pipeline. It\'s little wonder then why people are flying in from India, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) Laos, Vietnam, Singapore and HK, purely for the shopping. Their cities fall behind Bangkok and simply lack the range of glitzy malls, products, and overall shopping experience found in modern-day Krungthep.</p>\n<p><strong>Getting Around is a Breeze</strong></p>\n<p>Let\'s not forget too, that Bangkok\'s public transportation infrastructure is state-of-the-art and very well-organized, thus allowing shoppers to commute around this bustling metropolis with unparalleled ease, convenience, and affordability. It\'s probably fair to say that Thailand is now Southeast Asia\'s luxury shopping hub, and with the recent increase in visitors from Far Eastern nations like Japan, Taiwan, and China, the old Siam\'s reputation as a retail magnate just keeps on growing.</p>\n<p><strong>Bangkok - \'World\'s Best City\' 4th year Running</strong></p>\n<p>Of course, it helps that Bangkok won the \"World\'s Best City Award in 2013\" for the fourth consecutive year. This is an accolade organised by Travel and Leisure magazine, and last year travellers gave Bangkok over 90% of votes, but that\'s not all: Bangkok also received the \"Best City in Asia\" award from the same magazine for the seventh time. This was from 2005 to 2013, with the exemption of 2009. It\'s hardly surprising then why foreigners are curious to find out what the Thai capital has to offer that their capitals fall short on. It\'s never too long after arriving before they\'re able to connect the dots.</p>\n<p><strong>Shopping Tourism for Tourists!</strong></p>\n<p>Shopping is an important tourist activity and those who travel purely to shop, i.e. the tourist-shopper,  is still seen as something of a phenomenon, albeit a welcome one to economies like Thailand. However, for expats looking to move to Bangkok, or those recently settled in, often become overwhelmed by the city\'s dazzling, and seemingly endless, architectural splendour. For these folks, all they want to know is where to do their weekly shop away from all the glitzy malls, and overpriced attractions.</p>\n<p><strong>Living as an Expat</strong></p>\n<p>Living as a local expat is actually a lot easier than most people first perceive. All you have to do is start looking around at eye level and it won\'t be too long before an overabundance of 7-11s, Family Mart convenience stores, and smaller, more affordable cafes and restaurants come into view.</p>\n<p>There\'s also that other Bangkok\'s spectacle, the place where you will find expats and local Thais enjoying Thai cuisine at give-away prices. These are the city\'s famous street restaurants (little more than mobile kitchens surrounded by cheap plastic tables and rickety chairs), set up just about anywhere where there\'s a space. Thai food stalls are particularly evident in downtown Bangkok, and especially concentrated along the low-to mid-Sukhumvit areas. Don\'t be put off by the seeming lack of hygiene either. Thai street food offers a wide-range of fresh, delicious, healthy meals at just a dollar or two per serving. However, eating out - literally - is not to everyone\'s liking.</p>\n<p><strong>The Everyday Shop</strong></p>\n<p>Families with small children, or expats who are not that keen on Thai, or even Asian cuisine, will want to know where they can buy groceries and other household items of their choosing. In other words, they prefer to shop and live a little more akin to how they would do back in the motherland.</p>\n<p><strong>Expats in Sukhumvit</strong></p>\n<p>Many expats who settle into Bangkok choose to reside along the famous Sukhumvit road, which, by the way, is one of the longest boulevards in the world. For them, it\'s important to know where they can buy choice foods and household products in the areas close to where they live. Fortunately for them, Sukhumvit Road has the widest range of shops and specialist stores catering for expats than any other part of the capital. There is even a good choice of supermarkets and retailers right the way up to the relatively new BTS stations of On Nut and Bearing (the easternmost edge of Bangkok).</p>\n<p>Some of the better known food retail outlets along the expat residential areas of Sukhumvit include:</p>\n<p>&bull;	Foodland <br />&bull;	Fuji Super<br />&bull;	Jusco<br />&bull;	Krungdeb Co-operative Store <br />&bull;	Lemon Farm <br />&bull;	Tesco Lotus Express - BTS Punnawithi<br />&bull;	The Gourmet Market - The Emporium<br />&bull;	Tops Market - Sukhumvit</p>\n<p>In the Udomsuk area - a popular district where many young and single people choose to reside in condominiums like the @City Condo - there is a TOPS supermarket, plus many other global retail stores at the Piyarom Place Shopping Mall. TOPS Supermarket offers both local produce and internationals brands from Australia, America, and the UK. British expats are often pleasantly surprised to find some of their favourite Waitrose branded items on the shelves; something they find a great comfort, especially those new to the city and feeling a tad homesick.</p>\n<p><strong>Tesco-Lotus, Central Sukhumvit</strong></p>\n<p>Moving along the line towards central Sukhumvit is another huge hypermarket called Tesco-Lotus which is located close to On Nut BTS station. This is one of the largest retailers in Thailand serving over 11 million customers every week in over 1,400 stores nationwide (at the time of writing). Here they sell almost everything a western expat could need to live comfortably in Bangkok. And the best thing about this superstore is that it\'s linked directly to the BTS via a skybridge, so there\'s no need to hire a taxi or drive a car to help bring home the bags from a modest shopping trip.</p>\n<p>Expats living in the very center of Sukhumvit are without doubt the most spoilt for choice. They have everything at their fingertips, ranging from a Big-C hypermarket at the end of Soi 26, to Villa Supermarkets found in Thonglor Soi 33 and 49. These stores are a short distance from nearby popular condominiums like the Plus 49, Noble Reveal, and the Quattro Condominium by Sansiri, to name but three. There is also a TOPS supermarket in the area and even Gourmet supermarket for those looking for extra luxuries and fresh delicatessen.</p>\n<p><strong>Away from Sukhumvit</strong></p>\n<p>Obviously not everyone wants or chooses to live in and around Sukhumvit Road, but that\'s okay because other areas of the city now cater for expat tastes too. Those residing in locations like Ratchada also have an excellent choice of shops to choose from. The Esplanade Shopping Plaza on Ratchadapisek Road houses a number of great retail outlets, one of which includes a well-stocked supermarket. There is also a Big-C and a Tesco-Lotus close by.</p>\n<p>Combine the national and multinational stores with the fresh local markets and street food dotted around the Ratchada and Huay Kwang districts, and it\'s almost impossible for anyone to be dissatisfied with the wide range and never-ending choices on offer in this part of town.</p>\n<p><strong>Bangkok\'s Central Business District (CBD)</strong></p>\n<p>For those who choose or need to live in the CBD areas of Silom and Sathorn, worry not! There are still plenty of choices to be had there too. Once again, hypermarkets such as Tesco-Lotus are nearby, plus the Central Rama 3 shopping center is not too far away. The Sathorn area also has a huge Makro (known for offering wholesale value to both businesses and consumers).  Originally a chain from the Netherlands, Makro is perhaps more familiar to Dutch or Belgian expats.</p>\n<p>That said, word is getting out now of how these Warehouse style businesses stock a large range of products, especially meats, available for retail purchase in huge portions, which is great for expats families who have a deep freezer at home.</p>\n<p>Despite the immense size of Bangkok and the dreadful traffic at ground level, it\'s safe to say that if you live anywhere near the central areas of this city, you will be pretty close to a substantial retail area, either by foot, or by a short, convenient journey on the BTS or MRT.

I don\'t think we would have made the move if the events of the last week or so had happened in the run up to us leaving London.','<p>It\'s nearly two years since we moved to Bangkok. I don\'t think we would have made the move if the events of the last week or so had happened in the run up to us leaving London.</p>\n<p>I have been watching the news about the coup from different angles, reading twitter feeds and the various takes on the reasons behind it. I make no claim to understand the policies or politics which led to the army coup but what I do wonder is the effect it will have on the reputation of Thailand as a hub for SE Asia. Some have said it will have little effect, tourism will pick up and Thailand will go back to its rightful claim as the destination of choice for holiday makers. Except it isn\'t just the tourism industry that will be damaged.</p>\n<h3>Family concerns</h3>\n<p>The military are on the television, they are set out before the public in their regalia, more reminiscent of a North Korean regime than a democratised middle income country. My mum called me, alarmed to check that my small family are ok. And I could understand why she was fearful. I tuned into the BBC news via Expat TV and watched the coverage (the local cable channels cut off BBC and CNN).</p>\n<p>The images of empty Bangkok streets, armoured vehicles and personal on the roads was frightening. I tried to explain that my village was as sleepy and as safe as ever and that my biggest worry was how to water the garden with a fractured foot. She told me not to make light of the situation and to think seriously about coming home.</p>\n<p>Twitter provided rumours about the suspension of internet and a crack down on social media. It reminded me of the 2011 riots in London, it stirred up paranoia and stoked the fires of fear. But I am a little more aged toward Twitter and when pictures from the 2010 protests surfaced I knew to research rather than retweet.</p>\n<h3>Media attention</h3>\n<p>Sky news, the BBC, ABC Australia and NHK World from Japan all took slightly different takes on the view, with the BBC being far more dramatic than the others. I watched a measured response from the Ambassador, Mark Kent which contrasted with the advice being given by the US consulate. For tourists and holiday makers, the decision to come or not to come must be terribly confusing. Japanese news network, NHK World centred on the economic impact of the coup and how businesses such as Toyota and Honda would respond especially as they were still feeling the effects of the Flooding.</p>\n<p>UK teachers who are considering resigning have got until 31st May to hand their notice in and for some, the May half term deadline has already passed. Insurance companies won\'t pay out for travel or medical expenses during a coup. So what do you do if you are about to relocate to Thailand for a teaching job?</p>\n<h3>Second thoughts</h3>\n<p>We probably wouldn\'t have come. We would have thought twice before we got on the plane to the unknown especially with an 18 month old baby in tow. Even though I know the pictures being broadcast are highly dramatised, I don\'t think I would have taken that risk because there is an underlying uneasiness of \'what if?\'. This is the ripple effect of the coup and those ripples are evermore increasing as Thailand has more to lose now than ever before.</p>\n<p>So it won\'t just be tourism that is affected by the Thai Coup, it will be schools, businesses and the world\'s confidence. Thailand receives a significant amount of aid from the IMF and other global contributors, they will not accept the excuse that \'this is Thailand\' for much longer. Thailand needs to realise that with every political protest and civilian unrest, it allows its neighbours to take the lead in economic matters which will greatly impact on its future.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>','','2014-05-26 17:43:20',1,'2014-05-26 17:43:20','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23736,71,'Par for the course','par-for-the-course','Inevitable Thai government school issues','Anyone who has ever worked in a school of any kind in Thailand can tell you that you\'re bound to run into a fair share of issues: getting work permits and visas, pay discrepancies, untruthful job descriptions, and the lot. That said, and correct me if I\'m wrong, it seems that Thai government schools are the worst of the lot.','<p>Soapbox time.</p>\n<p>Anyone who has ever worked in a school of any kind in Thailand can tell you that you\'re bound to run into a fair share of issues: getting work permits and visas, pay discrepancies, untruthful job descriptions, and the lot. That said, and correct me if I\'m wrong, it seems that Thai government schools are the worst of the lot.</p>\n<p>When I started at my current government school going on two years ago, I didn\'t know any better and was hired through a [terrible] agency that fired/hired people on a basically a weekly basis. Teachers weren\'t paid the correct amount (as in, ever), and even if they were paid at all, it certainly was never on time. Every teacher (myself included) at my school save maybe one was fired for one reason or another far before the semester ended, but because we liked (and like) the school, we were loyal and stayed on anyway; it wasn\'t fair to our students that their teachers were contracted out to a highly unprofessional agency.</p>\n<p>Long story short, through strength in numbers and proving ourselves valuable teachers to the school, we got the school to hire us on directly the next term and have been ever since. In a perfect world, that would result in no further \"major\" problems, and for the most part, I\'d say it\'s been relatively smooth sailing... well, as smooth as working at a Thai government school can be. That said, especially as a warning for you newbie teachers out there, problems still do arise.</p>\n<p>Just this week, for example, the finance department at our school (one of many departments) decided that, since we didn\'t sign our names on a clipboard for the first six days of May, we were going to have said days\' salary docked from our pay this month, even though our signed contracts say nothing of this and we were told to start coming to school during the second week of this month. Supposedly, the Thai teacher in charge of the foreign teachers has resolved this situation for the returning teachers, but because the new teachers haven\'t signed their contracts yet, they are going to make roughly half this month of what was verbally promised. ...And some other minor crisis is bound to pop up soon as it always does.</p>\n<p>I can certainly understand Thai schools\' mentalities towards foreign teachers; just because we are English speakers, we make often three times what teachers working there for years make. We often have lighter workloads (at least in terms of periods taught per week), and there are many duties that we are often excluded from.</p>\n<p>That said, and I\'m generalizing here based on my experiences and those of many other teachers I know here, schools feel that they are doing foreign teachers a favor. The reality, at least for most of the teachers at my particular school, is that we stay because we genuinely like the students, the people we work with, and the school in genera l- not due to the salary. If you\'re a teacher because you actually enjoy teaching and are in it for the long-haul, a 30-40,000 baht monthly salary is nothing, especially considering how relatively easy it is to find another similar job. I make twice as much working for a language school part time each month than my full-time school, but actually enjoy teaching at my government school. Call me crazy, but I certainly can account for the high turnover rate.</p>\n<p>My point is this: if you allow a school (or any employer, for that matter) to treat you in a certain way, it will continue to do so. Especially if you\'re a new teacher, get everything promised IN WRITING so you at least have some legitimacy. Some things are unavoidable, and you obviously need to pick your battles.</p>\n<p>One teacher I work with has been at our school close to ten years, and the school still causes the same issues with him, among many being the nickel-and-diming and seemingly weekly minor crises we all face. To me, the salary is honestly not that big of a deal; it\'s the [lack of] professionalism that drives most teachers out of government/public schools here in Thailand after only a very short time.</p>\n<p>Am I saying all schools are like this? Absolutely not. I\'m sure I speak for a lot of us [teachers] when I say that I genuinely like working with most of my students and colleagues, both Thai and foreign. I\'m reminded of a tweet by Ajarn.com a few months back that said something along the lines of, the longer a teacher is at a school, the less likely he/she is to put up with the bologna the school dishes out. Teachers get worn-down by the constant barrage of issues that shouldn\'t even be issues in the first place.</p>\n<p>As unfortunate as it is, especially for the students facing constant teacher turnover, I couldn\'t agree more.</p>','','2014-05-27 22:00:16',1,'2014-05-27 22:00:16','2014-05-28 12:12:17'),(23743,10,'Living the high life','living-the-high-life','A mini-break in Khao Yai with money no object.

But then you remember your working class roots.\n','<p>My wife and I very recently celebrated two &lsquo;milestone\' birthdays. On the 27th April, I reached the golden age of fifty (Oh, I\'m a &lsquo;middle-aged\' man now alright) and two weeks later, my wife turned forty (which I told her is officially &lsquo;old\' for a Thai woman, but she is of course having none of it)</p>\n<p>Rather than buy each other birthday gifts that neither of us truly wanted or fill the house with junk and clutter that we didn\'t really need, we decided we would treat ourselves to a luxury mini-break - a four-day holiday with no expense spared. The only problem was where?</p>\n<p>Our regular Bangkok getaway is a charming, quirky bed and breakfast called <a href=\"http://www.resortdepaskani.com/th/default.html\">The Resort de Paskani</a>. It\'s a Mediterranean-style guest house in a peaceful beach resort called Khao Takiab, which is a few miles south of Hua Hin. The Paskani\'s clean and spacious rooms run for about 3,500 baht a night, there\'s a decent swimming pool, which no other guests seem to use, the staff are cheery and helpful and the breakfast is edible if not exactly memorable.</p>\n<p>The B&amp;B is also only fifty metres from a long, deserted beach - ideal for those late evening romantic walks and early morning jogs. We love it there! However, despite the fact it ticks an awful lot of boxes, you would need to be one easily pleased individual to describe Resort de Paskani as the last word in luxury.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/mm4.jpg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"400\" /></p>\n<p>No, this time we were in the market for something far better - a bit more upmarket - and dare I say it, a little more expensive?</p>\n<p>We thought about going to a neighboring country but slowly and surely, one by one, we crossed them all off a list. Singapore is too hot and always disappoints. Malaysia was too much of an unknown quantity. And my wife has no interest in the likes of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos (and neither do I much for that matter)</p>\n<p>The world was our oyster - but there was nowhere for us to go.</p>\n<p>We turned our attentions to Thailand. The wife doing the suggesting and yours truly supplying the rebuttals.</p>\n<p>How about Phuket? Naaah, never fancied it.</p>\n<p>Nice 5-star resort on Koh Samui or Koh Chang? I\'m not really an island person and all I can picture is an Olympic-sized swimming pool full of noisy children.</p>\n<p>Pattaya? Oh behave.</p>\n<p>I know, let\'s go to Chiang Rai, where we spent our honeymoon ten years ago? Hmmm, well Chiang Rai is lovely but I\'m not sure I want to fanny around with airports and low-cost airlines.</p>\n<p>How about Khao Yai National Park?</p>\n<p>I immediately stopped fiddling around with my smartphone Scrabble app. Khao Yai National Park - just a two-hour drive from Bangkok and a verdant jewel in the crown that is Central Thailand (and other clich&eacute;s) It was a perfect idea. We\'d been several times before and had a smashing time. Only one problem - isn\'t every accommodation in Khao Yai National Park either under canvas or 200 baht a night bungalows of the crusty, dusty ceiling fan variety?</p>\n<p>\"No\" said my 40-year old wife, \"have a look at this place - <a href=\"http://www.muthimaya.com/\">The Muthi Maya Resort</a>. Lots of Thais rave about it on various travel discussion forums. It looks fantastic\"</p>\n<p>Quicker than you can say \"credit card transaction completed\" we\'d booked a 200-square metre private villa with panoramic views of the mountains and golf course - along with indoor jacuzzi, two bathrooms, kitchen area with microwave and fresh coffee-maker, international breakfast buffet - oh, and a private swimming pool and sundeck thrown in for good measure. For just under 7,000 baht a night, it felt like they were giving it away.</p>\n<p>I\'ll confess right now - I don\'t think I\'d ever looked forward to a holiday in Thailand quite this much.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/mm5.jpg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"400\" /></p>\n<p>Fast forward to our arrival at The Muthi Maya Resort.</p>\n<p>We parked the car, grabbed our bags from the boot and then from out of nowhere, a gleaming white golf cart pulled up alongside. The driver - looking dapper in a well-pressed, khaki uniform - flashed a welcome smile and told us he would take us to reception to check-in and then on to our private villa. Hop aboard!</p>\n<p>As we trundled along in the golf cart, I squeezed my wife\'s arm and said \"this is going to be such a terrific place. And remember what we said - no expense spared. This is our birthday treat\". We were both feeling ridiculously happy.</p>\n<p>When we eventually got to the villa and our driver opened the front door, our mouths fell open. I\'ve stayed in some nice hotel joints around the world but this was on another level. We spent a glorious first hour jumping in the pool, flicking through the TV channels on both TVs, figuring out how the jacuzzi and coffee maker worked and being left in awe over the fact that everything in the well-stocked mini-bar was absolutely free.</p>\n<p>As evening fell, it became time to seek out somewhere for an evening meal. Muthi Maya had a choice of just one restaurant at the resort, which it describes on its website as an open-air restaurant serving an irresistible fusion of Japanese and Italian cuisine. On a Friday night in early May, it was virtually empty. Restaurant staff outnumbered diners by about five to one. When the menus arrived, it become all too apparent why.</p>\n<p>My wife and I looked over the menu and shot each other anxious glances. The dishes and drinks were eye-wateringly expensive. I wondered if we\'d been given the wrong menus and the ones we were holding were usually reserved for visiting sheikhs and oil barons. 400 baht for a salad? 450 baht for a spaghetti in tomato sauce? Ok it had a pretentious Italian name but it was still very much a spaghetti in tomato sauce.</p>\n<p>You see, it\'s moments like this when I come down to earth with an almighty bang. I know I said this was going to be a no-expense-spared mini-break but you have to understand one thing - I will always be a working-class lad from Birmingham. I know what it\'s like to have a weekly scrub with carbolic soap in an old-tin bath in front of the fire. I\'ve carried bottles of milk stout back from the off-licence for Granny Powell. I\'ve delivered newspapers for ten shillings an hour and begged on the streets in the days leading up to Guy Fawke\'s Night to make enough money to buy fireworks. 400 baht for a salad my arse!</p>\n<p>Anyway, I go for a spicy pasta dish (350 baht) my wife orders a Japanese fish with rice (550 baht) We share a 400 baht salad, and we wash it down with two spectacularly ordinary non-alcoholic cocktails, sensibly priced at 200 baht each. And as if we haven\'t been fleeced enough, there\'s the double whammy of a 10% service change and 7% government tax. The bill comes to 1,960 baht. I scoop up the 40 baht change and we exit the restaurant, mumbling our thanks to the waitresses and avoiding eye contact as best we can.</p>\n<p>Tomorrow would be another day.</p>\n<p><img height=\"300\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/mm6.jpg\" style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"400\" /></p>\n<p>As well as the private villas, the golf course and the Japanese / Italian restaurant, The Muthi Maya also boasted a &lsquo;world-class\' spa facility (as you would expect) where, and I quote &lsquo;our highly-trained staff will pamper you and leave you feeling more relaxed and nourished than you ever thought possible\'</p>\n<p>My wife had promised herself a spa treatment and a spa treatment she was going to have. As we rode the shuttle bus over, I couldn\'t begin to imagine how much the resort would charge  for a guava and coconut oil body wrap, when they felt no shame in charging 400b for a f***ing salad.</p>\n<p>The spa manager greeted us like long-lost relatives and the list of treatment prices only confirmed my worst fears. Does that list actually say 1,800 baht for a 60-minute foot massage? I blinked hard and re-focused. Yes, there was no getting away from it. A foot massage was almost two thousand baht - for an hour. It worked out at 180 baht a toe.</p>\n<p>Now before you people still reading this cry out, &lsquo;oh my God, I only pay 200 baht for two hours to get my feet massaged\' let me echo what my wife said, &lsquo;you\'re paying for the masseur\'s expertise. You\'re paying for the environment. You\'re paying for the cold towels and the hot herbal drinks served to you on a rattan tray\'</p>\n<p>Convinced? - No, neither am I.</p>\n<p>I had to laugh to myself though. The spa offered a &lsquo;mind and body package\'. I don\'t know the exact details, perhaps you were immersed in goat\'s milk before being thrashed with kaffir lime leaves but apparently the whole four-hour program was the &lsquo;ultimate way to relax\'. It was 8,000 baht. How could you possibly be relaxed knowing that you\'d have to fork out a week\'s wages once it was all over?</p>\n<p>My wife looked a tad crestfallen as she was led away for her &lsquo;aromatic salt glow\' and I decided against having the &lsquo;white tea and grape seed detoxication\' It\'s not that I couldn\'t afford to have it - but I\'m a working class lad from Birmingham.</p>\n<p>I decided to hit the fitness room instead. I did ten minutes on the cross-trainer, ten minutes on the stationery bike and then pumped some weights. And you know what the best part was - it was all free. Free! All free I tell you!</p>\n<p>On our final two days at the resort, we made our minds up not to patronise the restaurant again. Instead, during the day, we walked around a couple of local minimarts and filled our shopping basket with microwave meals. And that night, as I sat on the sofa eating crab fried rice from a plastic container with a plastic spoon, I felt not an ounce of guilt or shame. It was almost like I had beaten the system.&nbsp;</p>','','2014-05-29 08:24:26',1,'2014-05-29 08:24:26','2014-05-30 10:10:27'),(23750,52,'June 2014','june-2014','All the June deals and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Thailand is a very popular destination in which to take a TEFL course.

For those of us still chancing our arm with the regular Bangkok taxis, here is my guide to the different types of taxi driver who you are sure to encounter at some stage. I\'m sure you can come up with a category or two of your own that I\'ve forgotten.</p>\n<p><strong>The Teenage Boy Racer</strong></p>\n<p>Your initial reaction to clambering into the back of a taxi driven by the teenage boy racer is &lsquo;am I stupid enough to put my life in this guy\'s hands?\' If it\'s rush hour on a Friday night, the answer is probably and regrettably yes. Apart from being barely old enough to shave, the teenage boy racer is recognizable by his work attire - flip-flops, torn jeans and an alice band keeping yards of floppy hair out of his eyes.</p>\n<p>You always get the impression that the teenage boy racer is filling in for a mate - or the bloke who usually drives the taxi - but the regular taxi driver woke up this morning with a bit of a hangover and so asked his cousin\'s sister\'s nephew to get behind the wheel for a day. The only advantage to being unlucky enough to get this kind of driver is that he\'s sure to get you to your destination in double quick time.</p>\n<p>The teenage boy racer fears no one else on the road. And if the police do happen to stop him, it\'s not like his details are going to be held anywhere. For all his need for speed, he doesn\'t mind the odd red traffic light though. It gives him the opportunity to reach for his mobile phone and whisper sweet nothings to a sleepy-sounding girlfriend on the other end.</p>\n<p><strong>The Kindly Uncle</strong></p>\n<p>He\'s the complete opposite to the teenage boy racer. The kindly uncle can\'t remember when he first started driving a taxi in Bangkok but it was a long, long time ago - in the days before meters and expressways - and when the idea of having skytrains and subway systems was just a city planner\'s idiotic fantasy.</p>\n<p>We all love flagging down a taxi, peering in the window and seeing the face of the kindly uncle. OK, it helps if you\'re in no great hurry but you instinctively know that the journey will be &lsquo;pleasant\'. The air-conditioning is cold, the taxi is clean and well-kept and the radio is playing at a sensible volume. Sometimes you can even travel half a mile down the road before the kindly uncle remembers he\'s supposed to turn on the meter.</p>\n<p>Everything is done at a gentle pace and not once does he complain about the traffic. He\'s just enjoying the thrill of being his own boss in his &lsquo;twilight years\'. What\'s the point of getting worked up about anything?</p>\n<p><strong>The Man From Isaan</strong></p>\n<p>The story is all too familiar. Another failed rice crop. A wife and parents to feed. A couple of children to put through school. Somewhere along the line, the only choice left for the man from Isaan was to seek his fortune in the big, bad city - as a cab driver.</p>\n<p>Your heart goes out to this kind of man, if only for the way he counts his pile of twenty baht notes every time you\'re stuck in a jam. Each note is flattened and arranged in order with precise care. You\'re left under no illusion that every baht counts.</p>\n<p>Naturally friendly, you engage in conversation, starting with which province he comes from. Once you tell the man from Isaan that you\'ve been there yourself, that\'s it - you are bonded for life! Well-thumbed family photos are proudly extracted from a wallet. That\'s my son. That\'s my wife. That\'s the house where they live. It may only be a straw-roofed affair precariously balanced on four bamboo poles but it\'s a proud man\'s home.</p>\n<p>Once he\'s finished telling you his heart-breaking life story, the only course of action is to pull into the nearest parking place, hug each other, and both have a really good cry.</p>\n<p><strong>Mr One More Job</strong></p>\n<p>He was going to drive straight past as you waved frantically at the roadside, but at the last second decided to swerve into the kerb on the off chance your destination might be in the same direction he\'s headed. It\'s coming to the end of his shift and he\'s running late getting the taxi back to base - but does he have time for just one more fare? You want to go where? Nonthaburi? No chance! And with a screech and a spin of the wheels, he\'s gone.</p>\n<p><strong>The Cheapskate</strong></p>\n<p>This guy walks into the taxi rental depot at the beginning of a shift and begs for something cheap. \"How much can I rent that one for?\" he says, pointing at a shell with four bald tyres and steam coming from underneath the bonnet. He then spends the next 12 hours navigating Bangkok\'s chaotic roads, sometimes driving, sometimes pushing and sometimes stood by the side of the road waiting for a pal to arrive with a set of jump leads.</p>\n<p>Count yourself extremely unfortunate if for a period of time during this gentleman\'s shift, you happen to be sitting in the back - because this taxi really is the pits. Door handles, seat belts, ID stickers and plastic upholstery; everything is either torn, missing or hanging off. And the whole interior wreaks of old, sweaty socks. But I\'ve noticed one thing about any taxi driven by the cheapskate - the damn meter always works!</p>\n<p><strong>The Quiz Master</strong></p>\n<p>The journey starts off uneventfully enough. \"I want to go to Bangkok Hospital\" Yes certainly, no problem - and off you go. To break the silence (possibly because the radio no longer works) there\'s a question, totally out of the blue. A firm favorite is \"what country do you come from?\" \"How long you stay Thailand?\" is another.</p>\n<p>I\'ve learned to say &lsquo;England\' and leave it at that. Speak when spoken to. But show more than a passing interest in the quiz master\'s questions and oh boy, are you in for a long one. Before long he\'ll be interrogating you on Brazil\'s chances in the world cup, which year did Princess Diana die and how many of the Beatles are still alive? Trying to come up with all the answers is like being back at school. You can\'t remember having to work your brain so hard.</p>\n<p><strong>The Seller</strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve never had a problem with the seller but I appreciate that this is the kind of Bangkok cabbie that tourists and non-Thai speakers dread most of all. Your arse has barely got comfy on the plastic seat cover and the seller is going through his full repertoire.</p>\n<p>How about a day in Pattaya? We could be firing off machine-gun rounds at The Pattaya Gun Club in less than two hours if I put my foot down. Look at these two lovely ladies romping around in the soap suds. They\'d just love you to join them. Ok you don\'t fancy those options. How about a nice crocodile farm?</p>\n<p>A couple of well-pronounced, choice sentences of Thai language is usually enough to get the seller off your back and get you to your destination unscathed but don\'t let that \"phud Thai keng\" (you speak Thai well) fool you. He\'d love nothing more than to kick you out of the cab there and then and go looking for a proper punter.</p>\n<p><strong>The Silent Guy</strong></p>\n<p>I have the silent guy to thank for the inspiration for this blog. I got in the silent guy\'s cab today. The silent guy always worries me. Tell him where you want to go and he doesn\'t actually say yes or no. There might be an economical tilt or nod of the head but that\'s as much as you\'re going to get. Your initial reaction is \"has he understood me?\" \"Do I need to repeat myself?\" \"Oh my God, where am I going to end up?\"</p>\n<p>And that\'s how the journey continues - with not a word spoken or exchanged. Eventually the cab pulls up in front of your destination and the silent guy thanks you for the tip and wishes you good luck. And you\'re left scratching your head and wondering why you worry about things so much.</p>\n<p><strong>The Surprise Package</strong></p>\n<p>Ah, probably my favorite Bangkok cabbie of all - the surprise package. They are a rarity but they do exist. This is the guy who will engage you in small talk but after listening to your appalling Thai for several minutes, will subtly switch to asking questions and holding a very decent conversation in impeccable English. Your mouth falls open and all you want in life is to know this guy\'s full story.</p>\n<p>I\'ve chatted with surprise packages who have worked in London banks for twenty years, been the head of a multi-national pharmaceutical company and overseen projects for Middle Eastern oil companies. And now they\'re driving a Bangkok taxi and making a thousand baht a day if they\'re lucky. There must be one hell of a story here. Count me in!</p>\n<p>I\'ve found that very often the surprise package has already made his coin in life and is now driving a cab purely to give him &lsquo;something to do\' in his fifties and sixties. Even in a half-hour taxi ride, you become great friends with the surprise package. You pat him on the back, shake hands and feel like you\'ve made a true friend. There\'s always a sense of sadness when the surprise package drives away and you realize that in all likelihood, you\'ll probably never ever see them again.</p>\n<p><strong>The Lady Driver </strong></p>\n<p>I can\'t possibly hope to categorize Bangkok cabbies without giving the final word to the pot of gold at the end of the taxi rainbow - the female driver. Oh the thrill of being transported from A to B by one of the fairer sex. Words just can\'t describe it. The waft of cheap perfume as she changes gears, the soft, polite conversation, the cute, furry thing that dangles from the dashboard and the warmth of a mother\'s love. In a perfect world, I\'m convinced all taxi drivers would be women.</p>','','2014-06-04 07:10:54',1,'2014-06-04 07:10:54','2014-06-04 21:09:55'),(23758,85,'The scarlet K','the-scarlet-k','Is teaching kids just as valuable to a school as teaching specialized stuff','I\'ve been pigeonholed.

A big, scarlet \'K\' has been branded onto my CV. The letter represents the language learners I\'m best with: Kids. It\'s not something I\'m ashamed of or embarrassed about. Some of us have the temperament, patience and classroom presence to be good at teaching young learners and adolescents. Some of us have that inherent ability to be measuredly authoritarian when the need arises. Some of us would rather teach prison inmates than ride herd over a gang of kids.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been a little surprised here early in my career to find I\'m part of the former group, as I don\'t have kids of my own, and I certainly can\'t have any type of latent maternal instincts. Nonetheless, at my mid-sized language school of a dozen or so teachers here in Yangon, Myanmar, I\'ve become the one whose \'good with kids\' and whose course load reflects that.</p>\n<p>Another guy, he\'s the IELTS expert. A couple teachers are known for being pros at business English. This one, she\'s experienced in customized, one-to-one programs. Me, I\'m the funny guy who plays ukulele and the kids love. Nothing wrong with that. I know that I could be the business English guy if needed. I spent 20 years in the business world before becoming a teacher of English as a foreign language. I speak corporate probably better than most of my peers. From my understanding, you can learn to teach IELTS in a day. My only issue is how these different skills are valued.</p>\n<p>I\'m fairly sure that my company is not unique in it\'s compensation package. Teachers who have specific skills and can teach courses other than general English get extra money added to their paychecks every month. It\'s a fair enough system. I\'ve no problem with it. IELTS, business English, customized corporate classes, these are offerings that language schools have to have to distinguish themselves from the competition. Teaching kids? Those places are a dime a dozen!</p>\n<p>Why? Why do my colleagues who can teach IELTS get paid more than I? My scarlet \'K\' should count for just as much. Having not taught IELTS, I can\'t speak too much about what skills or knowledge being proficient in it requires, but I\'ll venture it\'s no harder than teaching kids.</p>\n<p>Not to pat myself on the back, but my talent with teens has allowed my school to offer teen classes that they\'ve never offered before outside the now concluding \'summer\' break. I\'m gonna teach after school classes as several of my \'summer\' students have asked their parents to see if they could continue on with learning English with us. Kids wanting to spend time in a classroom? I could ask for no higher praise (other than few more thousand Kyats on the paycheck).</p>\n<p>As I said, being a teacher of teens requires a certain classroom presence, but it\'s more than just knowing how to organize and direct fun and games. Certainly, there\'s plenty of that in my classroom, but in between, my goal is to present English as a puzzle to be figured out. The English language itself is a game with rules and strategies, and if you learn it, I stress, you can win more than a game, but at life itself.</p>\n<p>Your thoughts? Should I press the bosses to have my \'K\' added to the list of bonus-worthy teaching skills? Or, is teaching business English, IELTS, TOEFL or EAP inherently more valuable than being a glorified babysitter?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-06-07 19:29:45',1,'2014-06-07 19:29:45','2014-06-08 09:09:46'),(23761,59,'Barrio Fiesta in Thailand','barrio-fiesta-in-thailand','A day of celebrations for all Filipinos living in Bangkok and beyond.','Were you at the Philippine Embassy in Thailand last June 8, 2014?

The whole place  was temporarily converted into a tiny  festive village with colorful flaglets and mini-stalls where our   countrymen  turned entrepreneurs  and sold a variety  of Filipino dishes and delicacies from their own localities like native lechon , adobo, kare-kare,pansit, dinuguan, spaghetti, lumpia, pandesal, suman, halo-halo, etc.</p>\n<p>You could hear Tagalog in all corners of the embassy  creating the noise of excitement, joy,  and  gratefulness   for our independence despite martial law in Thailand. The Filipinos were happy to  gather as one people to reminisce the day they  got back their valued freedom 68 years ago from the Americans and 116 years ago from the Spaniards.</p>\n<p>The \"Barrio Fiesta\" opened at 8:00 o\'clock in the morning. This was followed by a flag raising ceremony at 8:30 and later on by a  liturgical Mass.</p>\n<p>After the Mass, her Excellency, Jocelyn Batoon-Garcia gave her Independence Day message to the community . Right after this, she formally opened the Art Exhibit of three Filipino artists: Feona de Vera, 10 years old,  Juliet Nazarrea  and Benito Vacio. Twenty-three paintings of  abstract, still life and  impressionistic compositions were  exhibited and sold for the benefit of young kids from three institutions in Pak Kred and Pathum Thani inspired by the New Life Mission Center.</p>\n<p>There were a few guests from other countries  like England, America, South Africa, and  Germany  who were friends of our countrymen. They enjoyed eating Filipino food as much as we did. Of   course many Thai friends were also around especially the husbands/wives  of Filipinos living in Thailand, employees of the different exhibitors and miscellaneous goods sellers.</p>\n<p>Western Union had a booth to promote their sending money scheme. CIMB had their booth too. Don Bosco Filipino School in Thailand promoted their newly opened school. Many  agencies promoted their products which the Filipino community welcomed. There was free medical check-up, and a number of associations advertized their  groups.</p>\n<p>Besides from feasting on their favorite foods, Filipinos were treated to parlor games  for kids and adults.  Filipino goodies rarely  found in Thailand were  also for sale. The most saleable part was Filipino foods sold   at lunch that made our business-minded fellow Filipinos richer by a few more baht.</p>\n<p>It was an opportune time to celebrate the 68th Independence day which was normally celebrated on the 12th of June. It was advanced on the 8th so that  all Filipinos working in Thailand could  participate in the one-day affair. The day\'s activities was headed by Jay Francis Alcantara, the Vice Consul in cooperation with UFT( United Filipinos in Thailand) and AFT (Association of Filipinos in Thailand) committees.</p>\n<p>Friends met friends, acquaintances met acquaintances and it was a reunion for some who meet yearly on this date.</p>\n<p>Don\'t fret, if you missed the celebration this year for there\'ll be another one in 2015. For sure the celebration committee will make   it grand, more enjoyable, more meaningful, and a more attended gathering because it will be the beginning of the ASEAN Community.&nbsp;Next time if you don\'t want  to be   a mere spectator, reserve an area for yourself  next year  to sell your crafts and wares   or homemade Filipino delicacies popular in your place.</p>\n<p>Just coordinate with the incumbent officers of the Association of Filipinos in Thailand or United Filipinos in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The \"Barrio Fiesta\" ended at 5:00 o\'clock p.m</p>\n<p>Long live the Philippines. Happy 68th/116nth Independence Day. It was  a short festivity but its impression on those who visited will last for a long time for it takes another year before a similar activity will happen.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-06-09 19:36:37',1,'2014-06-09 19:36:37','2014-06-10 09:09:38'),(23770,20,'At least nobody died','at-least-nobody-died','Sometimes just be thankful that\'s as good as it gets','I\'m now in my third year as an English teacher at a secondary school in Thailand. I guess you could say I\'m a veteran now, though this is a job which \'veteran\' doesn\'t mean much','<p>Uniformed guards whistle frantically, waving me through busy gates as I prepare to begin my third year teaching at a secondary school  in Chonburi, Thailand. I park my motorbike, sign in and thread my way through students. As I make my way to the office, students and fellow teachers press their hands together and gently bow, waiing me as I pass.</p>\n<p>Occasionally I\'ll get a \'hello, how are you\', a &lsquo;sawasdee krap\', and I\'ll return their greeting with an exaggerated grin or a pat on the shoulder. It\'s hard not to feel special at this time of day.</p>\n<p>Around 7:50 am, music signals students to gather in the assembly area. The flag will be raised, the national anthem sung, a brief Buddhist prayer will follow, after which teachers will address the troops in an attempt to inform, exhort or inspire.</p>\n<p>You might be tempted to jump to the wrong conclusion as a first time observer-the haircuts, uniforms, precise rows, somber expressions and apparent order. Upon closer inspection, however, you\'ll notice a group of teachers brandishing switches patrolling the increasingly restless audience. Occasionally one will wade into the crowd. There will be the flick of a switch, an audible &lsquo;thwack\', a yelp, and a semblance of order will be regained.</p>\n<p>Alas, the power of the switch is only temporary, and when they are dismissed the students scatter like birds.</p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">A host of characters</span></h3>\n<p>The rituals may differ, but types remain familiar. Here, too, there are nerds, jocks, clowns, tough guys, loners, stoners, cheerleaders, show-offs and misfits to rival their American counterparts, though there\'s a definite lack of racial diversity, all faces being distinctly Asian.</p>\n<p>Another obvious disparity is the number of overtly gay boys, but they co-exist better here. For some reason it doesn\'t bother anyone. Yes, there is good natured teasing, but I\'ve yet to see any bullying. It is accepted.</p>\n<p>Thai schools are also littered with enemies of the educational system - &lsquo;techno distractions\' such as cell phones and iPods - and consequently have the same problems with obesity and microscopically short attention spans that seem symptomatic of modern teens in the USA .</p>\n<p>Booze, cigarettes and yaba (meth) are also concerns, though certainly not of the magnitude they are in the States, but this school is quick to identify problems, and there are daily random tests for anyone even suspected of using illegal substances.</p>\n<p>Yes, technology has advanced, but many of the challenges are similar to what adolescents dealt with when I was in school half a century ago.</p>\n<p>One of the benefits (?) of being American is we aren\'t required to learn a second language. We can go pretty much anywhere and encounter someone who speaks English. Most of the rest of the world isn\'t so fortunate. English has been a part of the Thai education system for over a decade now, but judging by my experiences the news hasn\'t reached the students yet.</p>\n<p>In addition, with the emergence of the Chinese economy, Chinese has become a part of the curriculum, and Chinese teachers are finding many opportunities to teach.</p>\n<h3>Interacting with students</h3>\n<p>My first class, I ask my students,\"Krai mai mee samong (who doesn\'t have a brain?)\', urging them to raise their hands. Of course no one does. I give a huge sigh of relief and tell them I\'m very happy everyone in my class has a brain. Then I urge them to use it. And so begins my third year teaching here.</p>\n<p>I\'m one of two native English speaking instructors here, along with twelve other Thai women in the department. Most take the job seriously and have a thorough knowledge of English grammar, though most will concede they don\'t speak English well. Most have decades of experience, have dealt with thousands of students, and many spend much of their free time coaching them. They (most) are a hard-working, dedicated bunch.</p>\n<p>While I\'m more comfortable with the routines and know my way around, when facing entirely new classes, whatever the nationality, one has to adapt and improvise. I\'m still nervous, still uncertain and I\'m still excited, because this is a profession requiring creativity, a sense of humor, patience and perhaps a bit of showmanship.</p>\n<p>Over the past two years I\'ve sang, danced, and joked with my students. I\'ve pleaded, threatened, bribed, criticized and praised them. I\'ve played basketball with them and made it plain I\'ll try anything short of nude dancing (that\'s where I draw the line) in the hope of of piquing their interest.</p>\n<p>I\'ve done most everything but use the dreaded switch in an attempt to stimulate and motivate them, though I\'d be lying if I said I didn\'t want to bang heads now and then.</p>\n<h3>Hiding the frustrations</h3>\n<p>Because the biggest problem is the students themselves.</p>\n<p>It\'s a well-known fact among teachers that most Thai boys are lazy, disruptive, lack motivation, and perform poorly in all subjects, though in reality most students here, boys and girls, have no desire to learn English. Their families don\'t speak it, their friends don\'t speak it, and outside the classroom they rarely hear it.</p>\n<p>Still, many perform poorly in all subjects. Ironically, in the age of the internet, with all the knowledge of the world at one\'s fingertips, students are performing worse, schools here are in a state of crisis, and all the teachers here will tell you students have gotten lazier and seemingly more stupid.</p>\n<p>In fact, EF (Education First), a leader in international education, indicated Thailand ranked 42nd out of 44 nations. In spite of all the resources spent, it was the worst Asian country tested.  Yet teaching young men and women who have no desire to learn is the Sisyphean task English teachers here have been given.</p>\n<p>At one time I was so frustrated I suggested installing chutes leading from the windows on each floor down to enclosures in the fields below the classrooms, giving teachers another option in dealing with disruptive students. Depending on abilities and attitude, these incorrigibles would be trained to sit, heel and fetch, or given appropriate survival skills and released into the wild.</p>\n<p>Apparently they thought I was joking.</p>\n<p>Many problems lie within the system. Most of my classes last year had in excess of 40 students - some close to 50, which pretty much eliminates any personal attention you might want to give. Another major obstacle is Thais don\'t fail students so pupils often advance regardless of performance.</p>\n<p>Being slow isn\'t a crime...of course it isn\'t. Neither is being lazy, which many are guilty of. But what incentive is there to succeed if you can\'t fail?</p>\n<p>This leads to another concern; these underachievers steal time from other infinitely more capable or hungry students. And time is precious.</p>\n<h3>The same old problems</h3>\n<p>We have 50 minutes weekly to teach each class. Roll call takes five minutes. Stragglers eat up another ten. Finally there is the time spent policing the class, which leaves about 30 minutes to communicate and engage each of the 40+ students with dramatically different abilities so they have an opportunity to actually listen and speak - all the while knowing once they walk out those doors it will be forgotten by most.</p>\n<p>The textbooks, many put out by English publishers, don\'t help either. Few, if any have Thai translations, nor do they have locales, celebrities, or history any of the young people can relate to.  Most students I teach haven\'t been out of the city, let alone the country, and have more chance encountering a pig on a snowboard than they do of visiting America.</p>\n<p>Learning a second language is difficult enough without burdening them with geography, history and personalities of no use or interest to them. We (farangs) are here to teach conversation.</p>\n<p>And then there are the tests.  Every one of the standardized exams measuring student\'s English abilities I\'ve encountered has had numerous errors. Here, at least, the Thai teachers usually bring them to us to correct before giving them to the students.</p>\n<h3>Putting myself in the students\' shoes</h3>\n<p>On my part, I\'ve been attempting to learn Thai for the past 5 years with modest results, so I can appreciate the problems a student has learning our language. There are profound differences.</p>\n<p>To begin with, the script bears little resemblance to the English alphabet. The structure of written Thai is also dramatically different. First, there are no tenses;\'go\' is always \'go\', for example--no \'go\' \'going\', \'went\' or \'gone\'. &nbsp;Next, Thai script has no punctuation. Imagine this article minus capitol letters, spaces between words, plurals (teaching students to add \'s\' for plurals is a major hurdle) and no indentations for paragraphs, and you begin to get an idea of what they\'re up against.</p>\n<p>But the reality is many of the students have given up on learning. They don\'t believe they can learn. Others don\'t want to learn.&nbsp;What truly amazes me is given the environment, given all the obstacles, some students actually do progress. Some actually do make an effort and learn, which is small consolation, but it\'s something to build on I suppose.</p>\n<p>\'Well, how\'d it go?\' I asked Alan, my British counterpart last year.</p>\n<p>\'Nobody died,\' he replied with a tired grin.</p>\n<p>We clapped high fives as I passed him on the way to my next class, because at times \'nobody died\' is as good as it gets.</p>\n<p><strong>Don Coppock</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2014-06-17 23:15:14',1,'2014-06-17 23:15:14','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23776,80,'The things I miss most','the-things-i-miss-most','No matter how much you love living in Thailand, you can\'t have everything.','We are going home for a holiday in July and as the day creeps closer and closer, the excitement is building.

Now I can name all the reasons why we left the UK but as most people reading this will also have the same or at least similar reasons, I thought I\'d share my top five reasons I love going home for a holiday.</p>\n<p><strong>Food</strong></p>\n<p>I know we can get all the favourites here but let\'s face it, Villa supermarket is not Asdas. I\'m excited about being able to buy a range of food and make it in my mum\'s kitchen at a price that doesn\'t reflect a  stay in a 4 star hotel. My mother in law is West Indian, so I\'m salivating for her Caribbean fayre, home cooked to perfection served with the laughter and warmth that my Jamaican family brings to every occasion. I\'m not forgetting my mum, whose Maltese roots serve up chilled wine, olives and homemade pastas and everyone knows, there\'s nothing better than your Mediterranean Mamma\'s!</p>\n<p><strong>Shopping</strong></p>\n<p>Clothes and shoes specifically. I find the fashion in Bangkok a little uninspiring and when I do like something, the sinking feeling of knowing it won\'t fit drowns out any desire to look further. It will be the start of the summer sales and the joy of finding shoes and clothes to fit is unbridled. It merges with a smug feeling that I\'ve saved all year for this moment and I can literally shop until I drop.</p>\n<p><strong>Grandparents</strong></p>\n<p>I love my little boy so much that I recognise the need to share him as much as possible with his grandmothers. And if they need to make up for a years worth of visits in two weeks with sleepovers, presents and cuddles then who am I to stop them? I oblige willingly and scamper off to the nearest public house for catch ups and chit chats with friends.</p>\n<p><strong>Wine</strong></p>\n<p>I don\'t really drink a lot here and if I do, then a Thai whiskey and coke is fine but (and I\'m back to Asdas again) the affordability and availability of wine makes my heart sing and if my mates are truly lucky, then me later. It\'s so nice to be able to pop over to a friend\'s house and share a bottle or three.</p>\n<p><strong>Family and friends</strong></p>\n<p>Actually this is the real reason we go home isn\'t it? To spend time with loved ones whom we only see on Facebook and Skype. We like to round everyone up in a pub for the afternoon on a couple of different days to catch up with everyone. To be home means to be around the people we love and miss - just long enough to be reminded of all the wonderful things of home and all the reasons why we left.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-06-23 05:22:06',1,'2014-06-23 05:22:06','2014-06-23 20:08:07'),(23793,10,'Why had no one told me about Chantaburi?','why-had-no-one-told-me-about-chantaburi','It\'s clean and it\'s green.

It\'s basically a weekend jolly for staff from several departments to bond with each other and do the three things that Thais always enjoy doing - namely eating, drinking and gossiping about the staff who aren\'t there.</p>\n<p>Because my wife holds a relatively senior position in the general affairs department, the company very kindly invites me to &lsquo;tag along\' as the token foreigner.  Apart from the fact that it\'s always nice to get away for the weekend, it provides me with a great opportunity to practice my Thai language skills, given that the majority of the Thai staff are very poor in English.</p>\n<p>The Mayday weekend is usually held at a Thai-style beach resort or perhaps a log cabin complex in the middle of a national park. Anywhere will do as long as there is some nice scenery and enough activities to keep folks occupied for 36 hours or more.</p>\n<p>Staff have two options to get to the destination - they can either take their own car (which gives them a greater degree of flexibility) or they can hop aboard a chartered company bus.</p>\n<p>I\'ve just returned from my sixth annual Mayday outing. For the first couple of years, my wife and I &lsquo;slummed it\' and took the company bus, and while that option obviously appeals to those who don\'t own a car, the waiting around for latecomers and the ear-splitting karaoke videos does tend to wear a bit thin.</p>\n<p>So now we do as most of the management staff do and take our own vehicle. This means we can arrive at the resort &lsquo;fashionably late\' and be totally in control of things when it\'s time to head back home to Bangkok.</p>\n<p>I look forward to these company weekends. Although I\'m not a company employee, over the years I\'ve grown very fond of the staff who I see every twelve months on the Mayday jolly and at other events throughout the year such as weddings and birthday parties, etc.</p>\n<p>This year, the venue was the excellent <a href=\"http://www.chaolaocabana.com/\">Cabana Chao Lao Resort in Chantaburi Province</a>. It was the perfect place for Thai staff to escape to and really let their hair down.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chant4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Once everyone had arrived and been assigned their rooms, it was straight down to the sandy beach for some boisterous team games. There then followed snacks and beers at the open-air bar, with a gorgeous, late afternoon breeze blowing in from the ocean.</p>\n<p>When darkness fell around 6pm, it was time for the main event - a buffet dinner followed by some live entertainment provided by local singers. And I\'ll say one thing about these weekends - someone does a fine job of making sure that the free beer and wine flow all evening. Thai companies never come up short in that department.</p>\n<p>Sunday morning saw small groups of bleary-eyed and hungover friends, shuffling down for a late breakfast before taking a final stroll along the beach and packing bags in readiness for the journey home.</p>\n<p>A fantastic time was had by all.</p>\n<p>However; my main purpose for writing this blog is to ask one simple question - why oh why had no one ever told me to visit Chantaburi Province before? Admittedly I was only there for one night and a couple of half days, but by jove, did I love what I saw, even for such a brief period.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chant1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The only time I\'d ever been to Chantaburi Province was over twenty years ago, when an Indian friend (a gemstone dealer by profession) took me down there to see one of the famous open-air gemstone markets.  And although it was an interesting experience at the time, walking around on a muddy scrap of land, gawping at gemstone stalls, was still the only image that came to mind whenever Chantaburi was mentioned to me - until last weekend of course, when I came away with a completely different point of view.</p>\n<p>If I only need one reason to feel ashamed at never going to Chantaburi since then, then let\'s start with the fact that it\'s just a leisurely four-hour drive from Bangkok. OK, it took us five and a half hours to get there last weekend but I\'m going to blame all that on my smartphone sat nav. Chantaburi aficionados have already assured me that the journey can be done in easily four hours from Bangkok.</p>\n<p>As you drive down from Bangkok on the main highway, you eventually see the exit signs for Pattaya and Rayong. - neither of which need any introduction. Is that why I saw so few people down in Chantaburi - the lure of Pattaya and Rayong are just too much? But ignore the road-signs, keep on going, and in no time at all, you hit mountains and greenery that follow you all the way down to the Chantaburi coastline.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chant2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m not going to turn this into an extended travel review because one weekend doesn\'t qualify me as an expert but here are the points that made the trip so memorable</p>\n<p>The scenery was breath-taking, especially along the Chantaburi coast itself. For many years, I\'ve considered the mountainous region around Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand as the place to visit for scenery. Chantaburi Province was on a par with that. I can give it no greater accolade or recommendation.</p>\n<p>The whole area was spotlessly clean. I hardly saw a scrap of litter. And anyone who has travelled around Thailand knows the heartbreak of driving along a country road with views to die for, only to turn a corner and glimpse some unofficial dumping ground with the garbage piled six feet high.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know who\'s in charge of keeping Chantaburi Province clean and tidy, but I certainly salute them here.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chant3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>While we\'re on the subject of tidiness, how refreshing it was to see an area mercifully free of those awful advertising hoardings for hotels, new condominium developments and seafood restaurants, etc that blight the landscape of so many other regions (yes, Cha\'am and Hua Hin, I\'m talking about you)</p>\n<p>Cyclists will be pleased to hear that Chantaburi is ideal for them as well. Long stretches of coastal road have clearly-marked cycle lanes and on Sunday morning, we passed many cycling clubs making the most of the perfect conditions for biking. I\'ve never wanted to abandon the car and hop on two wheels quite as much as I did last Sunday.</p>\n<p>Finally, Chantaburi Province isn\'t known as &lsquo;The Garden of Thailand\' for nothing. Everywhere you go, there are fruit-stalls selling durian, mangosteen, sala and longans - straight from the farm. No one drives back to Bangkok without stopping off to fill at least a couple of carrier bags to the brim with luscious fruits. And with mangosteens and longans at a hundred baht for three kilos, who can blame them?</p>\n<p>I can\'t wait to get back to Chantaburi. But hopefully next time for a longer stay because I felt we only scratched the surface of this beautiful province. I\'m looking forward to seeing so much more.</p>\n<p>I\'ll see you down there!</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chant5.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>','','2014-06-30 05:54:00',1,'2014-06-30 05:54:00','2014-06-30 20:08:01'),(23799,52,'July 2014','july-2014','All the July deals and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Thailand is a very popular destination for teacher training courses.

One time, I invited a friend to go out with me. I was glad my friend accepted my invitation. Unfortunately, while seated on the bus, he took out his tablet and began to play a game','<p>Before the wide use of internet, sms and social media like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, people communicated less efficiently. They could send messages via postcards or airmail but they could take weeks or months to reach their destinations. Long-distance calls were expensive. Sometimes people would use telegrams for emergencies or send messages through friends as couriers to make their messages reach their contacts in due time. People managed to live that way even if it was way behind what we have available to us today.</p>\n<p>When modern technology came along, it changed people\'s lives. Everything became speedy and instant. The usual mails sent through the post office can now be done in a few minutes through e-mails and social media. In a few seconds, we can chat with friends and relatives via Yahoo messenger and Skype and on cell phones. The hassle of going to the telegraph office is gone. Spending a lot of money for long distance calls is no longer necessary for there are cell phones and free calls on the internet. Nowadays even three or more people can hold a conference call.</p>\n<p>Watching TV remotely is not a problem any longer because advanced phones have access to TV programs as long as there is Wi-Fi and the signal is good. Responding to messages is really fast.  Unlike postcards, airmails, telegraphs and long distance calls, the new technology is more efficient and less costly.</p>\n<p>Despite these comforts and conveniences, the use of social media and modern gadgets has greatly affected our connection with people. One time, I invited a friend to go out with me.  I was glad my friend accepted my invitation. Unfortunately, while seated on the bus, he took out  his tablet and began to play a game. I was shocked. He could have set aside another time for this. As a person, I value my time with a friend, talking and sharing pleasant or unpleasant experiences but this friend of mine gave more importance to a machine. I said nothing about it and carried on with my own daydreaming until we reached where we were going.</p>\n<p>Every time I took the BTS from Victory Monument to Asoke, I would observe a dozen people on the train. I did this six times and it confirmed my hypothesis that modern technology has tremendously affected our connections. I  noted that 30  out of 72 people used gadgets, 5 people  read, while the remaining 37 sat talking to companions or watching the on-board TV</p>\n<p>Many years ago, when I was in London, I noticed that passengers on the tube train never talked to other passengers but remained in their own little world, perhaps reading or listening to music.</p>\n<p>SMS (short message service) or text message is worth discussing in this blog too.  In the late 1990s, people loved it. They were into sending messages in short forms unmindful of spelling as long as they were understood.   As an English teacher, although I also did a lot of texting too, I was never at ease sending messages with wrong spelling. So if my friends texted me, I would text back and spell out the words I wanted to say.</p>\n<p>It took a little time and it was undoubtedly slower but it made me feel good sending messages with correct spelling. That\'s why some of my friends would ask the spelling of common words because their brains were already used to incomplete words or missing vowels and   consonants.</p>\n<p>Even if the act of texting uses many strange words, it is still very advantageous. Take for instance an experience of a mathayom teacher: One afternoon he   wanted to find Chai, a student who had missed several lessons. Near the canteen he saw Ploy, Chai\'s friend. Ploy said Chai was in the library and she would get him. The library was just up the stairs from where they were standing. Did Ploy go up the stairs? No, she took her cell phone and called Chai.</p>\n<p>Another   aspect of connecting via the internet is forwarding messages. When e-mail was still new, I received a lot of forwarded messages. Friends and acquaintances would forward messages like jokes, stories with lessons, and all sorts of things. Every time I received forwarded messages, I would really feel glad for they would spice up my day. Of course at times I would receive something that did not suit my taste, but just the same I appreciated the sender. In fact, when I liked the forwarded messages, I would save and send them to friends. In that case I could give their day a boost.</p>\n<p>Forwarded e-mail messages have become less common now due to social media platforms like Facebook. My friends say that they seldom forward messages via e-mail because   they could forward them in other places.</p>\n<p>Each kind of forwarded message has different characteristics and messages are sent appropriately depending on its nature. Yes, forwarding notes, links, videos, and   messages to our friends makes the world smaller and makes us all connected like a family of friends. But in forwarding messages, let\'s not forget authorship. Give due recognition to the author.  Of course, clean and decent messages are highly commendable. They can cheer up a sad friend. They can give inspiration to a burdened soul. Messages can make anybody\'s day. Don\'t you think so?</p>\n<p>Let\'s value people. They are more important than machines. Never cease to forward messages especially the inspiring ones. As one friend puts it, \"They make my boring day turn into an inspiring one\"</p>','','2014-07-07 03:53:02',1,'2014-07-07 03:53:02','2014-07-07 18:06:03'),(23807,83,'Off the tourist track in Laos','off-the-tourist-track-in-laos','Just one man, a motorcycle and the open road','About a year ago, I spent two weeks driving a motorbike through the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos. I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in Southeast Asia','<p>\"So it was always at night, like a werewolf, that I would take the thing out for an honest run down the coast. I would start in Golden Gate Park, thinking only to run a few long curves to clear my head...but in a matter of minutes I\'d be out at the beach with the sound of the engine in my ears, the surf booming up on the sea wall...There was no helmet on those nights, no speed limit, and no cooling it down on the curves...The Edge...there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to do when it came time to choose between Now and Later.\" - Hunter Thompson</p>\n<p>About a year ago, I spent two weeks driving a motorbike through the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos. I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had in Southeast Asia. Like all things in this part of the world, the trip involved a lot of frustration, anger, and trepidation. However, I would not trade the adventure for anything else.</p>\n<p>I bought the bike in the southern hub of Pakse, after spending a few days in Don Det. From there, a college friend and I drove all over southern Laos. In addition to exploring the Bolaven Plateau, we went east to the Vietnamese border, wandered through several mountains and national parks, and drove north to Vientiane.</p>\n<p>I cannot say that anything particularly life-changing occurred during the trip. There were no epiphanies. Yet, the events as a whole led me to view traveling here differently. My bike was an old, manual bike that broke down every few hundred kilometers. It was annoying to get the bike fixed, but repairs are cheap in Laos, and I was able to meet and break bread with many Laotian people whom I would not otherwise have met.  The Laotian people are some of the kindest that I have ever met. I was fed for free several times, despite the fact that most people I met had so little themselves.</p>\n<p>Many experiences that I would have normally thought of as onerous seemed thrilling at the time. When the storms started, and it was difficult to find immediate shelter, I got soaked by the rain. Getting soaked was certainly not part of my plans, but I was able to focus my attention on other things and laugh off the mild hardships. I remember once seeing a group of baby goats sprinting down the road during a storm. At first, I wondered why the goats cared so much about the rain. But then I realized that the goats were mimicking a group of school children running home in front of them. The simple beauty of it was hard to match.</p>\n<p>It was not just the beauty of Laos and its people that made the trip memorable. There is a joy found in cruising on a motorbike that is found in few other activities. When I was driving, I was so focused that all extraneous thoughts disappeared: my mind had no room for them. Riding a motorbike gives an illusion of freedom, something similar to what I have felt when snowboarding or skydiving. There is no way to escape the restrictions of living in a world governed by physical laws, but some activities bring an illusion of freedom, which is as close to freedom as anyone can get.</p>\n<p>It\'s amazing: the more dangerous the activity, the more alive one feels. When the consequences of failure are severe, one has to stay in the present moment. There is no room for irrelevant thought processes. I suppose it\'s an inherent paradox. I want to live fully, and therefore I must keep the idea of death clearly in sight. And so I keep looking for the edge.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-07-07 18:44:27',1,'2014-07-07 18:44:27','2014-07-08 08:08:28'),(23812,20,'World cup festival','world-cup-festival','How one school in Chiang Mai celebrated a feast of football','The football World Cup was a great opportunity to broaden students\' horizons by encouraging them to learn about people and cultures around the world.

Don\'t get me wrong; I love Bangkok, but sometimes I just need to see the ocean.</p>\n<p>The past few times I\'ve gone, I\'ve actually bypassed Hua Hin proper and gone a few kilometers farther south to the area known as Khao Takiap (sometimes spelled Takieb, which I still cannot properly pronounce), or \"chopsticks mountain.\"</p>\n<p>The area is home to the mini-mountain you can see when you\'re on Hua Hin\'s beach (near the Hilton/Centara Resorts). The first time I went to Hua Hin, I actually walked to it along the beach, but being that I\'m lazy, I\'ve lately resorted to renting a motorbike (typically 250 baht/day, even for my Thai friends). That way, I get the decent restaurants and night market near Hua Hin proper with a short and leisurely drive, but the peace and quiet of the Takiap area.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/takiab1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m not going to lie and say it\'s the most awesome place you can go, but as a relatively no-hassle trip to and from Bangkok over a weekend (I usually try to stay two nights to make the trip worth it), it\'s hard to beat. Vans from Victory Monument run 180 baht/person for the 3-ish hour journey, and trying to get a seat is about the most hectic part of the whole trip.</p>\n<p>The beaches are quite clean unlike other Bangkok destinations (I\'m looking at you, Pattaya), although the beach between Hua Hin and Wat Takiap tends to all but disappear at high tide.</p>\n<p>Besides Wat Takiap, there are some lovely temples to be seen in the area if you aren\'t already over those, including some with some very nice views of the surrounding area. One (whose name I know not) mountain temple sitting directly behind Wat Takiap has views that I would say are parallel to those I saw on my last trip to Tuscany, complete with rolling hills plus the added benefit of the ocean.</p>\n<p>Having the motorbike to scoot about is essential, though, as the songtaos (or baht buses) stop just short of Wat Takiap itself, and taxis/motorbike taxis tend to be extortionate.</p>\n<p>Another hidden gem I discovered on my last trip lies about 6 kilometers south of the Takiap area is an area around Wat Khao Tao, home to both Thai and Chinese styled temples on another small hill overlooking the ocean. It holds yet another \"Big Buddha,\" and I\'d say the views offered of the sea from the hike up are well worth it.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/takiab2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>There is a lovely reservoir (or lake... not sure) with beautiful [and clean] views to be had, yet still calm and not overrun with other tourists. If you\'re like me and appreciate a relatively calm, sleepy village type feel, it\'s definitely worth the short trek on a motorbike down the highway to visit.</p>\n<p>For a short escape from Bangkok, I find it hard to beat the Hua Hin area. It doesn\'t require a lot of preparation (even in the high season, you\'re bound to find a room free somewhere...), yet still has the conveniences of Bangkok at basically the same prices (Tesco, malls, etc.).</p>\n<p>Sure, I\'ve been known to enjoy Pattaya and Koh Larn from time to time, but if you\'re just looking to chill, my vote goes to Khao Takiap.</p>','','2014-07-13 05:37:28',1,'2014-07-13 05:37:28','2014-07-13 19:07:29'),(23824,74,'I don\'t go to see movies these days','i-dont-go-to-see-movies-these-days','In fact there\'s a whole bunch of stuff I don\'t seem to do anymore','It\'s funny isn\'t it how sometimes your habits change when you live in a foreign country for a period of time?

I got to thinking of stuff that I used to do in the past but just don\'t seem to do anymore for various reasons.</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t go on expat discussion forums.</strong></p>\n<p>One of my all-time favourite quotes is \"the anonymity of the internet coupled with the basic human desire to always be right is a deadly combination\". And I guess that\'s why I grew to hate expat discussion forums so much.</p>\n<p>Years ago, I was active on several boards, but the trolls and the flame wars eventually wear you down. You find some great people on discussion boards, you really do, but unfortunately those same forums also seem to attract the most bitter, twisted characters out there. And Thailand has always had plenty of those types.</p>\n<p>I used to read through numerous forum threads and think to myself, why can\'t everybody just get along?</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t eat Indian food</strong></p>\n<p>Not by choice I hasten to add. I\'m originally from Birmingham in England - home to some of the best Indian food in the world. There\'s one street called the Stoney Lane in an area of the city called Balsall Heath. Indian curry aficionados refer to it as &lsquo;the curry mile\' because that\'s exactly what it is - one glorious mile of nothing but cheap Indian curry restaurants. Eating Indian food is a way of life back in Brum!</p>\n<p>I think there are some very decent Indian restaurants in the lower Sukhumwit area and when I worked on Silom Road many moons ago, you often found me in The Tamil Nadu at lunchtimes, scoffing down their 39 baht curry and rice specials off a tin plate. I\'ve had some great authentic Indian nosh in Pahurat (The Indian district) as well.</p>\n<p>Alas, all of these temples and shrines to Indian cuisine are much too far to venture to from my home in Samut Prakarn, regardless of how much I crave poppadoms, naan breads and some mango chutney.</p>\n<p>There have been several attempts to open an Indian restaurant in my neighborhood but they\'ve all been spectacular failures. There aren\'t enough local Thais who enjoy Indian cuisine and there just aren\'t enough expats in the area to keep the restaurants going. Very sad.</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t subscribe to UBC</strong></p>\n<p>24,000 baht a year is a fair chunk of change, as I\'m sure you will agree, but that\'s what I spent on a cable TV subscription for three years and hardly ever watched the damn thing - apart from Premier League football on Saturday nights.<br />HBO was a complete waste of time. I don\'t know if it\'s just modern life, but I seem to rarely get time to sit on the sofa for an uninterrupted couple of hours and watch a movie.</p>\n<p>I even went through a spell of leaving the TV on as purely background noise - just so I could justify the subscription costs - but after hearing the same news stories repeated on CNN and BBC World hour after hour and suffering the irritating non-stop commercial breaks, I decided the cable TV had to go.</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t buy fruit in supermarkets</strong></p>\n<p>Perhaps it\'s just me but when I first arrived in Thailand, fruit always seemed such a bargain. Nowadays, I can\'t get over how much not only imported fruit costs in the supermarkets, but also pre-packed local fruits.</p>\n<p>A good friend told me that he chatted at length with a genuine Thai fruit-grower and the farmer told him that much of Thailand\'s fruit goes to the exporters these days and there\'s little left for the home market - or certainly not as much as there was in the past. I can fully believe that!</p>\n<p>In my local Foodland supermarket - which is admittedly always a tad on the pricey side - they\'re asking 65 baht for a small tray of sliced pomelo. When did pomelo suddenly become one of life\'s luxuries? I\'ve always wanted to collar the guy who prices up the merchandise and ask him if he lives in the real world.</p>\n<p>It\'s not as convenient I\'ll admit, but some time ago I discovered the joys of shopping for fruit (and a few other things) in my local street-market. It\'s not really something foreigners do that much judging by the suspicious looks I was getting when I first started examining pineapples on one old lady\'s stall - but once my face got known, shopping like the locals became great fun. And of course you do save a fortune compared to the supermarkets.</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t go to the movie theatre</strong></p>\n<p>This one is probably just pure laziness on my part because I used to love a night out &lsquo;at the flicks\'. I think back to my cinema-going days in England (and I was a regular at my local fleapit let me tell you) and I can vividly recall a packed auditorium standing up and cheering as the credits rolled at the end of &lsquo;Superman\' and three hundred people covering their eyes to get them through the scary bits during &lsquo;Silence of the Lambs\'</p>\n<p>Now whenever I\'m walking around a shopping mall and I\'m passing a multiplex cinema, I look up at the &lsquo;films showing now\' and just can\'t get excited about any of them - certainly not enough to fork out for a seat and then an extortionate amount of money for a bucket of popcorn.</p>\n<p>There are still some great films being made but because they only appeal to a minority of cinemagoers or the &lsquo;art-house crowd\', they don\'t go on general release. Perhaps I\'m just getting old but gone are the days when I can sit through two hours of car chases, deafening explosions and actors who specialize in mumbling their way through a script.</p>\n<p><strong>I don\'t have clothes tailor-made</strong></p>\n<p>For most of adult life I was something of an odd shape. I had a slim body, a slim waist, a long neck and arms that any orangutan would have been envious of. And although I could tickle people from the other side of a room, off the peg shirts and trousers never fitted me. Frankly speaking, I looked ridiculous in department store clothes.</p>\n<p>However, this was Bangkok - the Mecca for tailored clothes, delivered to your door in just 24 hours. Over a period of 10-15 years, I spent countless hours in various Sukhumwit Road tailors shops.</p>\n<p>I was a fan of Ravi Sehgal\'s place on the corner of soi 10 for a long time but when he upset me with a batch of made-to-measure shirts that were clearly made for someone 30 kilograms heavier, I switched to using Sam and Jesse at Gulati Fashions on the corner of soi 3, where I remained a loyal customer for many years. There may also have been a few other shops I used in-between times.</p>\n<p>I had a constant love-hate relationship with Bangkok tailors. I would hear people harping on about their fantastic new Italian-cut suit or how much cheaper it was to get a shirt made in Thailand than buy off the peg in Europe - but I never ever bought into it. I only had clothes made out of sheer necessity.</p>\n<p>If there\'s one thing that\'s improved beyond measure over the past decade, it\'s the variety and selection of off-the-peg clothes in Bangkok\'s terrific shopping malls. Admittedly I\'ve filled out a bit these days and on a good day I now look almost human, but I have no trouble finding clothes that look and feel good.</p>\n<p>My favourite chain store at the moment for men\'s clothing is the Japanese firm, Uniqlo. With several large branches in Bangkok, they stock trendy clothes in great fabrics at very sensible prices, and I\'m willing to bet considerably cheaper and better quality than your average Sukhumwit Road tailored shirt.</p>\n<p>So how have your Thailand habits and lifestyle changed over the years?</p>','','2014-07-17 18:08:49',1,'2014-07-17 18:08:49','2014-07-18 08:08:50'),(23850,75,'Thailand teaching stuff - July 2014','thailand-teaching-stuff-july-2014','A selection of interesting Thailand-related articles and blogs','Hello all, Peter Clarke here, and I\'m back again with a selection of links to interesting Thailand-related blogs and articles that I\'ve found on the internet over the last couple of months.','<p>Hello all, Peter Clarke here, and I\'m back again with a selection of links to interesting Thailand-related blogs and articles that I\'ve found on the internet over the last couple of months.</p>\n<h3>The side effects of being an expat</h3>\n<p>Let\'s start off with a young American lady called Alana Morgan, who contributes to an excellent on-line blog called Paper Planes. Alana left her home in Seattle about three years ago and has been in South-east Asia ever since, mostly using Chiang Mai as her base. <a href=\"http://www.paperplanesblog.com/unexpected-side-effects-three-years-abroad/\">I was drawn to a blog that Alana wrote about the side effects of being a long-term expat</a> - and it got me thinking about how much I\'ve changed as a person. Alana discusses many points in her blog including the fact she now feels that she doesn\'t belong anywhere. She also feels that money has lost its value after being away from home for so long and her perception of time has changed. It\'s an interested read and I\'m sure it will get you thinking about the changes you\'ve gone through in your own expat life if you fall into that category. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Are you a mediocre teacher?</h3>\n<p>\"Do you have what it takes to be a really bad TEFL teacher?  Time and time again TEFL teachers are referred to as backpacker layabouts with no dedication, and every school can relay a tale of a certain TEFLer who left them in the lurch and now wary of every other foreign teacher who comes along.  Follow this advice and you will most definitely succeed at being yet another mediocre TEFL teacher giving the rest a bad name\"</p>\n<p>Those are not my words but the words of Cornish Kyle as she discusses <a href=\"http://cornishkylie.com/2014/05/31/7-ways-to-be-an-exceptionally-mediocre-tefl-teacher/\">seven ways to be an exceptionally mediocre TEFL teacher</a>.</p>\n<h3>Want to make serious money as a teacher?</h3>\n<p>We love blogs and articles with lists don\'t we? &nbsp;Well, here\'s a list that\'s going to spark many a debate in the teachers room - <a href=\"http://www.gooverseas.com/blog/esl-teacher-salaries-9-countries-where-youll-make-bank?utm_content=bufferfa7e5&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">the nine countries in the world that pay the best TEFL salaries</a>.

Some of the 41 \'memories\' didn\'t really strike a chord with me (perhaps they are more for the child of the 90\'s) but I spit coffee all over the keyboard when I was reminded how kids would wet themselves with excitement when the teacher wheeled a TV into the classroom. LOL</p>\n<h3>Love your co-teacher</h3>\n<p>Opinions of Thai classroom assistants or \'co-teachers\' has always been a seriously divisive issue. To some foreign teachers, they just couldn\'t do without their loyal Thai assistant, who brings a semblance of order to the chaotic classroom environment, whereas for other foreign teachers, the co-teacher is a sort of \'Satan\'s snitch\', either dozing or fiddling around with their smartphone at the back of the class or running to the principal to tell him what an awful teacher you are at every possible opportunity. Although not targeted at those teaching in Thailand, <a href=\"http://www.reachtoteachrecruiting.com/blog/tips-for-getting-along-with-your-co-teacher\">here are some invaluable tips on how to get along with your co-teacher.</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>The lowdown on Hua Hin</h3>\n<p>Chris and Angela always produce great quality blogs for their Tieland to Thailand website, and recently they found the time to explore Thailand\'s favourite beach resort, Hua Hin (it\'s certainly one of my favourites) Actually this was a trip with a real purpose because it sounds as though Chris and Angela are looking for a \'second home\' in Thailand - or at least somewhere to escape to for a few months a year, when the pollution in their beloved Chiang Mai becomes unbearable due to the slash \'n\' burn farming. <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/hua-hin/\">So what did they think of Hua Hin exactly?</a></p>\n<h3>Food, glorious food</h3>\n<p>Bangkok foodies, don\'t despair - I\'ve got you covered this month as well.

Both my vocabulary range and my speaking confidence increased and my listening comprehension improved a lot. I never felt the need to take any formal Thai lessons. The Bangkok streets were my classroom','<p>\"For someone who\'s been here over twenty years, your Thai is not very good is it?\"</p>\n<p>Those would be cruel words coming from just about anybody, but when they come from a Bangkok taxi driver, they hurt even more. I\'ve had Bangkok cabbies praise my linguistic ability just by hearing me say \"bpai Sayam Sakwaa\" (can you take me to Siam Square?) so when you get a driver telling you that your spoken Thai is rubbish, you know instantly that this guy isn\'t fooling around.</p>\n<p>It had started innocently enough with the usual, time-honored favorites such as \"which country do you come from?\" and \"do you have a Thai wife?\" but once the pleasantries were over and the conversation shifted to shall we say, the lower intermediate level, I felt seriously out of my depth.</p>\n<h3>The cold, hard truth</h3>\n<p>I felt myself go a shade of red and shifted uneasily in the front passenger seat. We continued the rest of the short journey in silence and when we reached our destination, I slunk from the cab a broken man. But the guy was right on the money. For someone who had lived in Thailand for over two decades, my spoken Thai was becoming an embarrassment to me. Something had to be done.</p>\n<p>Before I go any further, I should point out that I\'m probably being a little hard on myself here. I\'m my own fiercest critic. Truth is my Thai was not really that bad. The taxi driver just caught me on one of those days when I couldn\'t string a sentence together. I was constantly reaching for words that I knew were in my vocabulary bank somewhere but they had chosen to hide themselves in the deepest recesses of my brain and refuse to come out. &nbsp;Surely even the most fluent Thai speakers must have days like those.</p>\n<h3>Early days</h3>\n<p>Actually, I had a head start on most foreigners when I first came to live in Thailand. Realizing that I wanted to move here for an extended period and knowing that learning the Thai language would be priceless, I invested a large sum of money (well it felt like a large sum of money at the time) in the excellent Linguaphone Thai course.</p>\n<p>I remember calling Linguaphone one morning just to make enquiries and ask if they indeed had a course in Thai, but their sales staff did such a wonderful job on me that two days later, the postman was knocking on the door with a parcel containing three text books and six cassettes - all packaged beautifully in their own presentation case.</p>\n<p>I attacked the course with great gusto. I had twelve months before I was due to fly to Thailand and there wasn\'t a moment to lose! I had an hour\'s bus journey to work each morning and an hour back in the evening, and I would spend the whole commute with the tapes playing in my Sony Walkman (remember those) and annoying the passengers around me as I tried to master the Thai tones.</p>\n<p>I even had my mother test me on the vocabulary lists, which used to annoy the hell out her if she was plowing through a pile of ironing or trying to watch Celebrity Squares.</p>\n<h3>Still a great course</h3>\n<p>I loved that Linguaphone course. Even though it\'s twenty-five years old, I still blow the dust off the textbooks now and again and chuckle at the adventures of the three main characters whose day-to-day stories run for over forty lessons.</p>\n<p>There\'s Khun Tom, a foreign businessman with a twinkle in his eye, who runs a small company in Bangkok and enjoys the odd weekend in Pattaya. Then there\'s his loyal secretary, Khun Ooy, who I always suspected Tom secretly fancied. And finally Khun Tawat, Tom\'s personal driver, who never said a great deal but had a penchant for chewing matchsticks and wearing his sunglasses indoors.</p>\n<p>It\'s still a terrific course for the beginner and on occasion, when someone has ever asked me if I\'ve studied the Linguaphone Thai program, I usually reply with \"studied it!? I\'ve got a black belt in it!\"</p>\n<h3>Speaking Thai from day one</h3>\n<p>So when I arrived in Thailand, it\'s fair to say I could already hold a basic conversation. Many Thai friends from those early days couldn\'t believe it when I used to pull their legs and tell them what Thai I could speak was only what I had &lsquo;picked up\' on the flight over.</p>\n<p>For the first five years here, I would say my Thai improved steadily. Both my vocabulary range and my speaking confidence increased and my listening comprehension improved a lot. I never felt the need to take any formal Thai lessons. The Bangkok streets were my classroom.</p>\n<h3>The dreaded ceiling</h3>\n<p>Then something happened which I think happens to a lot of long-term expats who live here and start learning the Thai language with the very best intentions - I hit a ceiling. I got to a point where my spoken Thai became &lsquo;as good as it was going to get\'. If I was going to take my speaking ability to the next level, it would require a lot more effort on my part. Unfortunately for me, that\'s when sheer laziness crept in.</p>\n<p>I could order food in a restaurant. I could negotiate prices in a market. I could ask for details about my Thai friend\'s plans for the weekend. I could discuss my family and work. I could ask what time the next bus to Khorat left. I could function perfectly well in most daily situations. Sure, it would have been nice to hold lengthy exchanges on Thai politics with my Thai friends and understand the TV news, but frankly I could live without all that.</p>\n<p>So for the next fifteen years, with regards to improving my Thai language skills, I did almost nothing!</p>\n<h3>Frustrating times</h3>\n<p>I say almost nothing. I did enroll at a couple of Thai language schools for a trial period and I did try exchanging English language lessons for Thai lessons with a Thai teacher in a corner of McDonalds but all of these experiences just left me with feelings of frustration.</p>\n<p>I suppose it\'s because I was a teacher myself for many years that I probably set the standards too high. I got annoyed when Thai teachers would use Thai vocabulary and sentence structures that many Thai speakers would deem as &lsquo;over-polite\' - and I got frustrated when Thai teachers wouldn\'t correct my pronunciation even though I knew myself I was saying a word incorrectly.</p>\n<p>It just wasn\'t working for me.</p>\n<p>But to go back to the taxi driver at the beginning of the story (remember him?) When he told me in no uncertain terms how bad my Thai was, it lit a fire under my ass. I knew I had to do something about it and I had to take full responsibility for my own progress.</p>\n<p>I hatched a plan and decided to turn to my Thai family for help. I enlisted the help of both my mother-in-law and sister-in-law and said \"guess what? You\'re going to be my Thai teachers\"</p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-2\">In part two, I\'ll tell you how I\'ve progressed in the last four years since that fateful conversation with the Bangkok taxi driver</a>.

This has always been a contentious issue for a large number of long term expats who feel aggrieved that they have to effectively ask permission to remain in the country each year with no consideration or reward given for their investment in the country.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/mike_montage.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Part one (Applying for a Visa &amp; Work Permit)</h3>\n<p>There are a number of different visas that foreigners can obtain to remain in Thailand. The vast majority of the foreigners you will see here will be in possession of tourist visas or visa exemption stamps, these give them permission to remain for a limited time for the sole purposes of travel. It is however not uncommon for teachers to work on these tourist visas, particularly if they perhaps don\'t have the required qualifications to obtain a work permit.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says - Mike originally wrote this information in March 2014. Since then, there have been significant changes in Thai immigration law. From mid-August 2014, Thai immigration will be clamping down on teachers (well, anyone really) using tourist visas to constantly leave and re-enter the country in order to work illegally for an extended period. One tourist visa is OK but you may face problems being let back into the country with a second tourist visa. In a nutshell, if you are using back-to-back tourist visas, you need to prove to the immigration officer that you are indeed a tourist.</strong></p>\n<p>Long term residents of Thailand normally have possession of a \'non immigrant visa\'. These are split into a number of categories but the most common are \'non o\' (marriage) and \'non b\' (working). I myself am not married and work in a local government school on a non immigrant b visa.</p>\n<h3>Signing a contract with a school</h3>\n<p>When you first sign your contract with the school you will be issued with the documentation to obtain a non immigrant b visa. In order to get this visa stamped into your passport you will need to apply at either an embassy or a consulate outside of Thailand. The vast majority of people in the south of Thailand choose to do this at the consulate in Penang, Malaysia and the whole process can be completed in a just a few days. I actually had my documentation sent to my home in England before I came to Thailand and I received my visa from the Thai consulate in Hull.</p>\n<p>Upon your entry to the country you will be given permission to remain for three months. It is your responsibility to obtain a work permit during this period so that the visa can be extended for a full calendar year or until the end of the term of employment (whichever comes first).</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says - It is not always necessary to leave the country in order to obtain a non-immigrant B visa. Many teachers have been successful in changing a tourist visa to a non-immigrant B visa at the main immigration office in Bangkok. Yes, it requires a lot of paperwork. Yes, it requires your school (employer) to be pro-active and yes, you should probly contact immigration to find out the correct procedure.&nbsp;</strong></p>\n<h3>Licence or licence waiver?</h3>\n<p>Teachers who are teaching in OBEC Schools (basically every school with the exception of universities and private language companies) will be required to obtain the required documentation from the TCT (Thailand Teaching Council). This takes the form of either a full teachers licence or a waiver to teach without a licence.</p>\n<p>A full teachers licence can be obtained by having a degree in education e.g. PGCE and having taken part in the \'thai culture course\'. Most people however will be applying for a waiver to teach without a licence. This waiver gives the holder permission to teach at the school for a period of two years.</p>\n<p>Applicants who wish to apply for a waiver to teach without a license must have a degree from a recognised university, TEFL certificate and a recent criminal records check. The degree can be in any field and does not have to have any relation to teaching whatsoever. It is worth noting that those applying to the TCT from countries considered not to be \'native english speaking\' (all countries except AUS, CAN, NZ, IRE, UK, USA) will be required to sit a TOEIC examination prior to application.</p>\n<p>Once the process has been completed you will be the proud owner of a blue work permit (cost 3,100 baht) and an extension of your visa until the end of the contract (cost 1,900 baht). The whole process will normally take the better half of the three months on your initial visa but it has been known for the process to take longer, resulting in applicants having to do another visa run and start the application process again from scratch (not fun!!!)</p>\n<h3>90-day reporting</h3>\n<p>If you thought that the reward for that long-winded process was to be required to have nothing to do with immigration for twelve months, I\'m afraid you were wrong. You are required to report to immigration every three months to \'confirm\' your current address. It\'s actually more of a minor inconvenience then a problem because the whole process is completed in a couple of minutes (providing you don\'t live in an area with many foreigners) and is free. The date is confirmed by a slip being stapled into your passport and you are free to attend 7 days before, if this is more convenient for you to do so.</p>\n<p><strong>Ajarn.com says - The 90-day reporting can also be done by post and the system works very well. There is no need to make a personal appearance at immigration every 90 days.</strong></p>\n<h3>Part two (Renewing Visa &amp; Work Permit)</h3>\n<p>In part one of this post we talked about the typical process one would go through when applying for a work permit and visa in Thailand.</p>\n<p>If you are offered a new contract from your current employer and you would like to stay for another year you will be required to extend your work permit and obtain a new visa for the forthcoming year. The paperwork involved with both the application and renewal of a work permit are mammoth including various copies of the directors i.d, maps of the school and even details of the schools financial position (if private). This should however not be your concern and either your school or agency will know exactly what is required for the work permit renewal.</p>\n<p>The first stage of renewing your work permit is to check the status of either your teachers licence or waiver to teach without a licence. Teachers licences are valid for five years before they need renewing, whereas waivers to teach without a licence are only valid for two years. Teachers who hold a waiver to teach without a licence are given an initial two years which can be extended subsequently for another two years providing they have taken part in the \'thai culture course\'.</p>\n<p>The official rules from the TCT state a maximum of two waivers (maximum four years) will be given and that during this time the teacher must become \'fully qualified\' to receive a full teachers licence. It is worth noting at this stage that the waiver you receive is permission to teach in your current school. If you change school at any point you will be given a new waiver and you will lose any time on your current waiver.</p>\n<p>*Please note that I believe that if you were only at the school for a short period of time (i.e. less then four months) that this waiver will not count towards your total count. I was at my first school for six months but only held a work permit for three months and the TCT gave me a new waiver for my next school without taking part in the thai culture course.*</p>\n<p>The current route to becoming a \'qualified teacher\' is to either take a degree in education or to sit the TCT professional knowledge and ethics tests. Both methods require that a thai culture course certificate be obtained as well. Let\'s be honest the vast majority of teachers are not going to want to pursue a degree in education merely for the purposes of teaching in a Thai government school. If they did want to obtain a degree in education they would then be suitably qualified to work at an international school, which attracts more pay and doesn\'t actually require a thai teachers licence, so most people will look to taking the TCT tests.</p>\n<p>There are four tests each with varying levels of difficulty which in theory can be taken in one day (nobody passes them all at once though). The main complaint about the tests is that the standard of English used in the tests makes the answers ambiguous and very difficult to work out. In theory you will have multiple attempts at these tests providing that you start the process early enough. It is worth noting that the thai teachers who wish to obtain a licence have to take nine tests, so maybe we should feel lucky to only have to take four (just a thought)</p>\n<h3><strong>Current Situation (March 2014)</strong></h3>\n<p>The TCT has currently suspended the thai culture course and has not announced when it will be running again. <br />The TCT has also not announced the details for the next set of tests which had been due to be announced in January 2014.</p>\n<p>Teachers who are needing to obtain new waivers to extend their work permits (myself included) are being given work permit and visa extensions for a full year without the usual requirements due to there being no possible way for them to comply at the current time. I can confirm this to be 100% true because I have just extended my work permit and visa until 31st March 2015 but my teachers licence ends in July 2014. I cannot confirm whether a new two year waiver has been given at this point though.</p>\n<p>Once you are in possession of a waiver to teach without a licence for a full year, you can apply to extend the work permit. This is done at the local labour office and the renewal of the work permit is actually quite an easy stress-free process (providing all the documents are in order). The process typically takes 7 days but smaller offices take much less then this. You must leave your work permit at the office during this period.</p>\n<h3>Keeping the tax man happy</h3>\n<p>Just because you live in Thailand doesn\'t mean the tax man is off your back, but I\'m guessing that he\'s not going to be as much of a burden then in your home country. The truth is that the tax situation in comparison to most other countries in extremely generous. I am no expert on the Thai tax system but I have been told that the rate is 3% of your total salary for employees but much more for businesses or those who are self employed.</p>\n<p>There is no universal monthly tax system i.e PAYE(UK) so most people settle their tax bills at the end of the financial year. I am going to assume that there is a minimum threshold of which you can earn before you pay tax because my last tax bill was (thankfully) much less then I had anticipated. My income comes from my teaching job of which i\'m paid 30,000 baht per month. My last tax bill was 870 baht so I cannot accurately conclude how this was calculated.</p>\n<h3>The cost of it all</h3>\n<p>Armed with your renewed work permit and the receipt for your paid tax you can head to immigration to extend your visa for another year. The immigration official will check through all of your paperwork and providing everything is in order you will receive a brand new stamp in your passport (full page). Please see below a full list of what was required for my latest work permit and visa renewal and their costs.</p>\n<p>Work Permit (3,100 baht)<br />Visa (1,900 baht)<br />Tax (870 baht)<br />Official Stamp (400 baht)<br />Health Clinic Certificate (40 baht)<br />Total: 6,310 baht</p>\n<h3>Re-entry permits</h3>\n<p>If you would like to leave the country at any point during the time you hold your visa you will be required to purchase a re-entry permit. Those who travel frequently in and out of the country should purchase a multi reentry permit (3,800 baht) which entitles you to unlimited trips throughout your visa period. I myself who only anticipates taking two trips out of the country find it more cost affective to purchase two single reentry permits (1,000 baht each).</p>\n<p>In order to apply for these permits all that is required is a passport photo and the fee. It is vitally important that you obtain these permits prior to leaving the country because if you leave without one you effectively cancel your visa. If you do not obtain these prior to travel you WILL only be given a tourist visa on reentry to the country and will have to reapply for a work permit and visa again from scratch. I am sure your employer will not be amused particularly if they have paid for the work permit and visa!!!.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/workpermit.jpg','2014-08-03 02:39:18',1,'2014-08-03 02:39:18','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23866,20,'How to motivate your students','how-to-motivate-your-students','An extract from a new book on teaching English to Thai students','Many studies have been undertaken to determine the reasons why South East Asian students have problems learning English. I would add to the list: weakness of the curriculum design, limited school resources, class sizes, poor course design, and course-books not always being relevant to the student\'s own environment.','<p>There have been many books written about the TEFL industry, both fiction and non-fiction. Andrew Fleming (<a href=\"/ajarn-street/hot-seat/andrew-fleming/\">a previous guest in our Hot Seat section</a>) has kindly sent us an extract from his book that he is currently writing. The book, titled <em>Thai students can speak and write English! They just need to be taught using techniques that are &lsquo;fit for purpose\'</em> argues that progress can be made if efforts are concentrated on the learner. However, in order to achieve this, certain strategies and techniques must be applied.</p>\n<p>The book will explore how to motivate students, how to make your course material relevant, and why feedback is so essential. There will also a chapter on classroom management, exploring the issues involved in preparing and managing the space where you teach and creating a &lsquo;learning-centred\' classroom.</p>\n<p>Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) will also discussed and how can it be applied in a Thai classroom with students of varying abilities. Different techniques for the development of speaking, writing and listening skills will be discussed in detail, as will the need to have comprehensive strategies with clear aims and built-in success indicators, and how to implement these. Finally, the issue of integrating those skills required to make students communicative and competent are discussed.</p>\n<p>The book is based on the author\'s tried and tested techniques that have been developed over a 25-year period, not only through his personal experiences in Thailand but also from working with young people in both informal and formal educational environments in the UK</p>\n<p>The author runs a very successful English language tutor school in the Northeast of Thailand and is currently contracted to the local provincial government as their English language &lsquo;expert\'-their terminology rather than his!</p>\n<p>He has also recently developed and delivered a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) training course for Thai teachers.  Over 100 Thai teachers have undertaken the course and gained certificates, while the feedback has been both encouraging and rewarding.</p>\n<p>Andy initially started working with young people as a volunteer in his late twenties, working his way up to becoming part of a senior management team within local government. He was responsibility for work with young people that achieved four consecutive &lsquo;excellent\' outcomes from OFSTED inspections (OFSTED being the government body responsible for inspecting education throughout the UK.)</p>\n<p>His practice in the UK has also been cited as &lsquo;innovative\' in various government journals, leading to him being invited to lecture on &lsquo;working with young people\' both in the UK and oversees. In 2003 he was awarded the Public Servant of the Year Award from the Prime Minister\'s Office for my &lsquo;groundbreaking\' practice with young people in the UK.</p>\n<h3>Chapter one: How to motivate your students?</h3>\n<p>Many studies have been undertaken to determine the reason why South East Asian students have problems learning English. Murray and Christison (2010) observed that many students just perceive English as a school subject, without significance in regards to their future employment prospects, resulting in lowered motivation.</p>\n<h3>\'What demotivates students?\'</h3>\n<p>Trawinski, (2005) identified the following factors as having a major impact on students\' motivation for foreign language learning:</p>\n<p>1) English is regarded as a difficult subject to learn<br />2) learners\' outcomes is too dependent on the quality of the English teacher and their ability to motivate their students<br />3) lack of support and opportunities to use English in the home and the wider community<br />4) lack of exposure to the English language and the opportunity to use it outside the classroom<br />5) limited vocabulary proficiency (as well as lack of access to English reading materials)</p>\n<p>I would also add to the list the following: weakness of the curriculum design, limited school resources, class sizes, poor course design, and course-books not always being relevant to the student\'s own environment.</p>\n<p>It\'s comparatively easy to identify a wide range of issues demotivating students of foreign languages. I think it is more useful to explore what actually motivates students and how can we build on these. This chapter will attempt to explore these issues in detail using the following parameters: teacher/pupil interactions, sharing the responsibility for learning, course content and feedback. (I believe all these factors are crucial.)</p>\n<h3>Teacher roles and styles</h3>\n<p>When reflecting on teacher and student(s) interactions one could easily describe the role of the English teacher is of teaching the English language, while the role of the student is to study hard. However, as must be obvious, it is assuredly not that simple for we have already identified many other contributing factors, both internal and external, though I believe in only concentrating on factors over which we have some control over.</p>\n<p>Focusing on issues outside of our control not only wastes time but distracts us from addressing those issues that we can influence.  It may well be only human nature to complain about factors preventing us from succeeding, but creating a &lsquo;culture of blame\' means that we effectively escape self-scrutiny. (This may be especially relevant upon relocating to a country with a culture and an education system very different to the one you left behind.)</p>\n<p>All teachers have their own style. Some want to be the undisputed centre of attention, in total control of the class at all times.  Other teachers see their role as being more of a facilitator or coach. I personally feel that different approaches are required for different situations, with an intuitive teacher altering his or her role any number of times.  What is more important is that the teacher is aware of exactly which role they\'re using at any given point, as this has a major impact on student motivation.</p>\n<p>Further, as teachers we need to be aware of our body language and tone of voice, ensuring that we treat every student as an individual.  Our goal is to try and project a positive demeanor, even when we might feel the burden of the world on our shoulders (not always easy, as we all have &lsquo;good\' and &lsquo;bad\' days!)</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if we are having a &lsquo;bad day\' this can be evident in our overall body language, level of enthusiasm and even reactions to classroom situations. It\'s hard to leave our troubles outside the classroom door: teachers are only human beings and it\'s unfair to expect them to have complete control over their thoughts and feelings. However, awareness itself can make a difference: awareness of how we compose ourselves around students, from the moment we enter the classroom.</p>\n<h3>The impact of the teacher</h3>\n<p>When walking to a classroom I often try to remind myself how much impact my demeanor can have on the lesson, and that the onus is on me to motivate the students, and not the other way around. . .  If the students await me I need to focus on my entry into the classroom. Walking in with a &lsquo;smile on my face\' and a &lsquo;spring in my step\' has a much more positive impact!</p>\n<p>The same applies if I\'m already in the classroom. I\'ve often found it helpful to stand at the door and welcome my students individually as they enter the classroom.  While I wait for the majority of students to settle down I use the time to enter into a casual conversation with a few. Building positive relationships with students is very important. Sometimes knowing that the teacher is interested in you as a person can make all the difference to how a student responds in class. Not every student is self-motivated and as outlined at the beginning of this chapter there are many external factors that can impact upon a student\'s motivation.  I\'ve seen so many students become inspired simply because they felt valued and respected by their teacher.</p>\n<p>However, motivation needs to be taken into consideration at every stage of the teaching process, from planning stage all way through final evaluation. Every single class is different and teachers need not only to be aware of the differences but also to prepare for them, not only with regard to different class sizes or levels of ability but also different levels of motivation. Teachers need to get to know their classes. I\'ve found it helpful to keep a small log, not only detailing which activities I\'ve used with a particular class but also recording what worked with a particular group and what &lsquo;died a sudden death!\'</p>\n<h3>Lesson content</h3>\n<p>At this point it\'s important to concentrate on the content of the actual lessons. Teachers may have excellent relationships with students but if they fail to make their lessons interesting, interactive or challenging pupil motivation will be short-lived.</p>\n<p>Working with large class sizes and or students of different ability levels is never easy.  I personally feel it is very important to decide at to which level to &lsquo;pitch\' our lessons.  My ultimate aim is to always try and deliver a lesson that the students enjoy but also find challenging. In order to help me determine what a &lsquo;challenging\' lesson is I use three zones: the comfort zone, the stretch zone and the panic zone.</p>\n<p>The comfort zone is where an individual has already previously processed the knowledge, feels more than comfortable with the subject matter and can recall it as and when required.</p>\n<p>The stretch zone is where students are accessing new information that logically follows on from what they have previously learnt.</p>\n<p>The panic zone is an area that we as teachers all need to try to avoid at all costs. The panic zone is where an individual feels totally out of their depth and anxiety and stress levels take over. Teachers should do everything possible not to take their students into this zone for motivation will go into automatic &lsquo;shut-down\'. The main cause for students entering this zone is being presented with material well above their level, with no logical connection to what they have previously learnt.  A good strategy to avoid it is to recapitulate the previous lesson\'s learning outcomes at the start of every new lesson or topic area.</p>\n<p>However, it\'s also not best practice to keep your students in the comfort zone, for they will swiftly become bored and again their motivation will dwindle. To keep your students motivated both lesson activities and learning outcomes should be &lsquo;pitched\' in the stretch zone.  The aim is then to reinforce learning until what had previously been in the stretch zone becomes embedded in the comfort zone. Therefore, &lsquo;challenging\' lessons need to be well-planned and the course material &lsquo;fit for purpose\'. Course materials also need to be appropriate for they have a large impact on what type of lessons we deliver.</p>\n<h3>From personal experiences</h3>\n<p>In our private tutor school I have a cupboard full of course-books and teacher\'s packs that promised me the world but have yet to see the light of day: a complete waste of money! I purchased them prior to coming to Thailand, to help me feel prepared for any situation.  Unfortunately, most course-books are written for a global market and are therefore not always culturally appropriate for Thai students. (How I empathise with any English teacher told that he or she must follow a set course-book for the duration of the semester!)</p>\n<p>My personal advice would be to take it home and then think long and hard about how you could adapt it for you and your students. Working with a &lsquo;one-size-fits-all\' course-book is setting you up to fail in regards to improving students\' language acquisition. I now make all my own resources, designing them to meet my students\' needs. I can modify these resources in order that they can be accessed by students of different levels and abilities. Planning is such an important part of the process, while starting off with a resource not &lsquo;fit for purpose\' is definitely a big mistake.</p>\n<p>When planning I first consider what I want the students to have achieved by the end of the semester. I start by visualising the whole semester as a journey with a beginning, a middle and an end. Then I start to work backwards from where I want them to finish all the way back to where they\'ll start.  My next step is to set measurable outcomes along the journey. All I need to do then is to find (or make) resources that will support the students in achieving the set outcomes. That\'s the part I really enjoy for it enables me to be creative.</p>\n<p>When choosing or designing activities or resources you need to ensure that they\'ll inspire the students: for students to be motivated they must see the relevance in what they are doing. Meaningful and authentic activities genuinely engage students and before they know it they become so intent upon whatever they\'re doing that they forget their shyness (a typical trait of Thai students). The issue of meaningful and authentic activities is very important and will be covered in more depth in the chapter dedicated to Communicative Language Teaching.</p>\n<h3>Exploring the concept of \'sanook\'</h3>\n<p>A large majority of Thai pupils are indeed shy, and worry about making mistakes. This is often attributed to the possibility of &lsquo;losing face\' which is deeply embedded in the Thai psyche. However, once engaged they are very enthusiastic, competitive and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The challenge for any English teacher is to design and deliver activities that really engage the students, thus increasing their motivation and combatting their shyness.</p>\n<p>However, as I am writing this I can hear (at the back of my mind) a class of Thai students shouting, &lsquo;Game, teacher!\'. . . &lsquo;Can we play a game, teacher? Please?\'. . .  Don\'t get me wrong: I have nothing against games as long as they\'re part of lesson-learning outcomes. On the other hand, playing games merely as a way of filling time is no part of my teaching philosophy.  Teachers who have to do this have not planned correctly for their lesson.</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard many native English teachers openly state: &lsquo;Thai students love \"sanook,\"\' (translated &lsquo;fun\') &lsquo;and don\'t really want to learn English.  I just play games with them for an hour.\' It seems obvious to me that these teachers either don\'t understand the process of teaching or else lack confidence in their own teaching ability.  Wherever possible, make all your activities fun but also be aware of the learning outcomes.  (Better still: share them with your students. Sharing lesson outcomes is an important part of sharing responsibility for learning.)</p>\n<h3>The importance of learning outcomes and feedback</h3>\n<p>Sharing the responsibility for learning with your students is a great motivational tool. Everyone likes to understand what they are supposed to be doing; in fact, not knowing often leads to anxiety and an increase in stress levels. Things are no different in an educational situation. How can students achieve desired learning outcomes if they don\'t know what they are supposed to be learning?  One method I use is to write the learning outcomes on the board at the beginning of the lesson. Explain to the students what achieving the outcomes will look like. Give practical examples.</p>\n<p>I also often spend the first five minutes of a lesson going over what we achieved in the last lesson (again, giving practical examples).  I then explain what the learning outcomes are for the current lesson.  For example, if I am preparing or setting a speaking test I will actually demonstrate what an &lsquo;A\' answer and a &lsquo;B\' answer to a question would look like.  I believe that once students realize what\'s is expected of them then they can then start to share the responsibility for their own learning. This often increases their motivational levels: they become a stakeholder in the process.  They are no longer a &lsquo;passive learner\' but an &lsquo;active learner! --This is the philosophy underpinning the creation of a &lsquo;learning-centred classroom\' (discussed in the chapter on &lsquo;good classroom management techniques\').</p>\n<p>Sharing responsibility also has a positive impact on the feedback process. When students are aware of what outcomes they\'re working towards they can also identify how much progress they\'re making.  This then enables feedback to be given not only by the teacher but also by fellow pupils.</p>\n<p>Feedback is a very important part of any social interaction and a fundamental component of the learning process.  However, it needs to be managed carefully for it can have negative as well as positive connotations for learners. <br />Many teachers believe that feedback is best given at the end of the learning process, but I think that it needs to be continuous.</p>\n<p>One technique I\'ve found useful is to be constantly giving individual or group feedback as you are walking around the classroom. I also occasionally pause activities in order that I can give the entire class feedback, based on my observations.  A good model to use for this is &lsquo;traffic lights\'. Red is used to signify what is preventing the activity outcomes from being achieved, yellow is used to show what is partially assisting the process and green shows what is really working well. I often draw three big coloured circles on the board, one for each of the corresponding traffic lights. I start by verbally giving feedback but I also write it inside each of the corresponding circles. Once students are familiar with this method I then start to ask them for their opinions, including their feedback inside the appropriate circle.</p>\n<p>Student to student feedback is often referred to as &lsquo;Peer Feedback\' and can be rewarding, as long as it is correctly managed by the teacher. You need to set the ground rules and agree them with the whole class prior to undertaking any peer feedback.  All peer feedback should be positive.  Get students to start practicing this while you are facilitating small &lsquo;group-work\' exercises. I find this a very successful technique in our tutor school, where we have classes of around twenty, but it is a lot more difficult to manage in a class of fifty.</p>\n<p>Feedback should be given throughout the whole of the lesson, using lesson goals. (As previously discussed it is good practice to write lesson goals at the board at the beginning of the lesson.)  When all the activities have been undertaken return to those outcomes, giving the whole class feedback on how well you feel they have undertaken the activities and whether they have achieved the outcomes.  You can involve the students in this process by asking them to vote on what they feel that they have achieved.</p>\n<h3>Concept checking</h3>\n<p>You can also use concept check questions (CCQs).  CCQ\'s are closed questions, requiring only &lsquo;yes\' or &lsquo;no\' answers, based on what you wanted the students to learn. (The reason why closed questions are used is because they\'re easier for the students to understand and respond to.

Whereby students paying their own fare (or having companies pay) generally are excited about the possibility of learning something new, students in the government high school I work at are paid for (by parents, presumably) to essentially sit in the air conditioned classes they attend. Ah, motivation.</p>\n<p>This isn\'t to say that all students are unmotivated; on the contrary, it\'s those that genuinely want to learn that keep me teaching there. But for the vast majority of my upper-high school students, I\'m met with the same blank stares that I used to give to my high school teachers.</p>\n<p>I can certainly understand; I\'ve been there, thinking, this is stupid, why should I have to listen to this? And for me, it was in my native language. Now that the roles are reversed, I face that same attitude I once held compounded with a massive language barrier stemming from years of not being forced to learn the basics. Further, the students I [try to] teach may or may not even be interested in learning English (or science, my subject), but rather are forced by parents who \"know what\'s best for them.\" I\'ve been there, done that.</p>\n<p>That being said, I\'m finding that some classes I teach \"with,\" whereby I have a good level of involvement; some I teach \"to,\" whereby the students at least appear to pay attention and get engaged in activities; and those I teach \"at,\" whereby it matters not in the least what the lesson is or how exciting I try to make it, the students just aren\'t having it.</p>\n<p>Exhibit A: a Mathayom 5 (11th grade) class I\'ve just taken over from a teacher who was relieved of his duties (different story) had to do an assignment for me as basic as defining a few words, alongside synonyms and antonyms; those of you teaching in government high schools realize that grades are essentially meaningless, and because the relieved-of-duty teacher didn\'t leave any grades just as they were due, I had to have some proof that I had graded assignments.</p>\n<p>Anyway, the responses I got from over half of them were hilarious. These students have studied Japanese and English, yet most of the antonyms I received... were in Spanish. Our school has no Spanish classes. You know there\'s a disconnect when no one even realized that whoever it is they copied their answers from (typical) had their iPhone dictionary set to the wrong language altogether. I\'m still laughing about it.</p>\n<p>I guess I should be concerned, rather than amused, but at this point... given that these poor kids seriously have 17 different subjects they learn about per week versus the four I used to study at their age (block scheduling), and given that they clearly have absolutely no interest in something they consider worthless (fair play), I choose to look on the amusing side of it.</p>\n<p>Again, I completely understand why there\'s a disconnect, as disappointing as it may be for me to deal with it. Still, the fact that these students don\'t even know what language they\'re trying to learn... Thailand education system, that probably constitutes a small problem.</p>','','2014-08-05 05:55:41',1,'2014-08-05 05:55:41','2014-08-05 20:08:42'),(23874,10,'My struggles with the Thai language part 2','my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-2','My past four years of Thai study and how I have motivated myself','Many thanks to all the people who gave me positive feedback on part one of ‘My Struggles with the Thai Language\'.

It seems that a lot of other Thai learners out there have gone through similar experiences to mine. They hit what I call &lsquo;the ceiling\' and realized that it would take a tremendous effort to take their spoken Thai onto the next level. If you\'re someone who\'s in that boat, you certainly have my sympathy.</p>\n<p>So just to refresh your memory, a chance conversation with a Bangkok taxi driver had forced me to admit that my spoken Thai had improved very little in fifteen years. For someone who had lived in Thailand for so long, my Thai was nowhere near the standard that it should have been. I had to do something about it. So I turned to two people very close to home - my mother-in-law and sister-in-law.</p>\n<p>I suppose you might say this is the story of the past four years.</p>\n<h3>Family Thais</h3>\n<p>My sister-in-law runs a small handicraft shop on a large housing estate (or &lsquo;moobaan\' as Thais call them) It\'s almost the classic Thai &lsquo;vanity business\' - one of those businesses you see a lot here where the owner makes just enough money to cover the rent and a bit of pocket money on top. Although she has a steady stream of regular customers, she\'s never what you would call &lsquo;rushed off her feet\'. She has plenty of time on her hands. We had a chat about me studying Thai with her and we agreed to meet at the shop, once a week on a Wednesday morning for two hours.</p>\n<p>Because I was &lsquo;family\', my sister-in-law was reluctant to charge me anything for her time but I insisted she take something. You often find that when you engage someone\'s services - even a family member - and you don\'t reward them for their time, their motivation levels go down very quickly.  I offered my sister-in-law 500 baht for two hours of Thai study and she gratefully accepted. It\'s not a lot of money I know but it\'s more than she sometimes takes in one day sitting behind the counter of her shop.</p>\n<p>My mother-in-law was also very enthusiastic about becoming my part-time Thai teacher. She\'s a retired nursing sister in her mid-70s, but still very sharp of mind and young at heart. However, since she stopped working at the hospital some twenty years ago, most of her days at home are spent curled up on the sofa watching TV or reading books - with no one to keep her company.</p>\n<p>When I told her three children (one being my wife of course) about my plan to study Thai with their mom, I got a thumbs-up from all three. \"It will give mom something to look forward to and keep her brain active\" they all said. I was apprehensive about offering any money for the lessons so I asked my wife about the best course of action. I was told in no uncertain terms that mother would be deeply offended if I suggested any kind of payment. Now that\'s my kind of Thai teacher!</p>\n<p>So I agreed to study with her twice a week on Tuesday and Friday mornings for just one hour each time. No money ever changed hands, but she appreciated the small gifts of fruit or flowers from time to time.</p>\n<h3>Lesson planning</h3>\n<p>The first hurdle I faced was that neither my mother-in-law nor sister-in-law had ever done any teaching. In addition to that, neither of them had what I would call &lsquo;a natural ability\' to teach. The onus was totally on me to prepare all the lessons in advance and make full use of the study time.</p>\n<p>I began raiding the local Thai bookshops for any materials I could use in the lessons - picture dictionaries, English conversation textbooks with Thai translations and English study textbooks with cartoons, - you name it.  In no time at all I had built up quite a library. However, I soon found that it was taking more time to prepare each lesson than the actual time spent studying.  Even four hours of Thai study a week (plus all the preparation) became a very time-consuming process.</p>\n<p>So I set about studying Thai with my two family members. I should point out here that my sister-in-law is a fairly competent English speaker. She\'s nowhere near as good as my wife but she can hold a conversation and make herself understood. My mother-in-law\'s English is non-existent. She knows a handful of nouns and that\'s about it. I kind of liked that aspect of studying with my mother-in-law because it became a &lsquo;total immersion\' class. From the moment I sat down with her and opened my study materials, we could only ever communicate in Thai.</p>\n<h3>Two Thai languages</h3>\n<p>However it wasn\'t long before I hit a major obstacle. I found myself literally learning two versions of the same language. My sister-in-law was teaching me what I would call &lsquo;street Thai\' (the version that Thais use in day-to-day life and exactly what I wanted to learn) but my mother-in-law was teaching me &lsquo;formal, almost what you might call &lsquo;written Thai\' (which was what I didn\'t want)</p>\n<p>Sometimes when my wife or sister-in-law would ask me what I had studied that day with mother, I would go over some of the vocabulary and sentence structures and they would roar with laughter and say \"the only Thais who use that kind of language are mom and her group of friends - and most of those friends are dead!\"</p>\n<p>I hate to say this because my mother-in-law is a wonderful person and she\'s been exceptionally generous to me, but I was forced to concede that the lessons with her were a waste of time. The Thai language is hard enough to learn as it is without having to learn two bloody versions of it!</p>\n<p>Rather than tell my mother-in-law the hurtful truth, I made excuses that I was busy with work, etc and the lessons gradually fizzled out. Now we spend the time gardening together instead. She\'s not improving my Thai anymore but the garden looks bloomin\' lovely.</p>\n<p>I continued the Thai lessons with my sister-in-law though and I still study with her to this day. The venue has changed from her shop to her house (which is conveniently next door) and I now study with her every Sunday afternoon instead of during the week - but we still meet for two hours every time.</p>\n<h3>Progress - but not fast enough</h3>\n<p>For three and a half years (possibly more) those two-hour sessions with the sister-in-law became my only opportunity to study and practice speaking Thai. I would do my best to pick up a few more words and phrases in-between lessons - mainly by chatting with Thai friends at the gym - but it was a rather slap-dash approach to learning. There was just no structure to any of it. And as a learner of any language - not only Thai - will tell you, two hours a week just isn\'t enough. I began trying to learn too many new words in a single session and it became an information overload. I would learn, let\'s say twenty new words and expressions - and then forget 75% of them by the time the next lesson rolled around.</p>\n<p>I hadn\'t been in the country very long but I remember a conversation I had with a Dutch guy in a Sukhumwit Road bar back in the early 90s. He claimed to speak six European languages fluently as well as reasonable Thai (why are the Dutch so damn good with languages?) - but he found Thai by far the most difficult to learn.</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t know why but Thai words just don\'t seem to stick in your head like they do with other languages\" he remarked.</p>\n<p>I still chuckle at that because I think he was spot-on.</p>\n<p>And then six months ago , I heard yet another one of my foreign friends hold a fluent conversation with a Thai person - despite only living here for a few years - and this time it was the inspiration I finally needed. It was going to require a lot of commitment but I had to get more serious if I wanted to become a true intermediate level Thai speaker. OK, Phil - no messing around this time.</p>\n<h3>Going the on-line route</h3>\n<p>Perhaps a combination of self-study and a session with a &lsquo;live teacher\' once a week was the answer? On various social media platforms, I had got chatting with several capable foreign Thai speakers and they all told me that there were some great on-line Thai courses around. I did some research on the internet and was astounded at just how many in-depth Thai courses were out there.</p>\n<p>I eventually settled on a course called Thai Podcast 101. I\'m not promoting or recommending it because I\'m sure there are even better choices available, but Thai Podcast 101 is the one I went for and after paying 2,000 baht for six months of study, there\'s no going back.</p>\n<p>The course is not without its faults.  I think some of the lessons at upper beginner and lower intermediate levels are ridiculously difficult and it tends to suffer from the &lsquo;mother-in-law syndrome\' of being over-formal. My wife overheard me studying one night and said \"I know Thai people at work who couldn\'t come out with sentences like that\"</p>\n<p>But I\'m sticking with it and my spoken Thai is coming on in leaps and bounds. The course has realistic dialogues, flashcards, self-tests, Romanized scripts and opportunities to record your own voice and have your pronunciation &lsquo;analyzed by the system. In other words, there\'s enough variety there to keep me interested and more importantly, motivated.</p>\n<p>My study strategy now is to try and do one hour a day with the on-line course (I don\'t always manage an hour but I try, honestly) and then I use my weekly session with the sister-in-law to review what I have learned from Monday to Friday. And it\'s a system that seems to be working!</p>\n<p>Different things work for different learners. For me, I have to learn Thai in complete sentences. It just makes more sense that way. Learning isolated words is fine up to a point, but where do Thai native speakers place those words in relation to the structure of a sentence? Does it come at the beginning, the end or in the middle? Are there situations when the word is inappropriate? If so, is there a better word to use in its place.</p>\n<h3>\'Sentence\' strategy</h3>\n<p>So what is my sentence strategy? Let me give you an example. Last week I learned the Thai word for the verb &lsquo;to bother or to disturb\'. I will take that word and build three sentences around it.</p>\n<p>An easy sentence to start with - e.g. Am I bothering you?</p>\n<p>Then something a little more difficult - e.g. The noise from the air-conditioner was bothering me last night.</p>\n<p>Then finally a sentence with at least two clauses and a conjunction e.g. - I rarely sit outside in the garden because the mosquitoes bother me.</p>\n<p>Then when I\'m pretty confident I know how to say those three sentences (or at least make a decent attempt) I will write them down in English (not Thai)</p>\n<p>Each day, in my one hour on-line study session, I will attempt to master five new Thai words - and make up three sentences for each word. That\'s fifteen new sentences of Thai.</p>\n<p>Multiply that by five days a week and If my maths is correct, that\'s 75 new Thai sentences.</p>\n<p>Then in my weekly session with my Thai teacher (my sister-in-law) I will go over all of those 75 sentences that I\'ve created, making sure the sentences make sense and the listener understands them. Remember that I am reading them from my notes in English, but speaking them in Thai. It\'s quite a challenge!</p>\n<p>I don\'t profess to getting everything correct first time around - far from it - but it\'s a great way to learn from your mistakes (getting the word order wrong, etc)</p>\n<p>I\'m going to conclude this two-part blog by putting my motivational hat on and coming out with a statement of the obvious if I may.</p>\n<p><strong>It is so worth the effort. </strong></p>\n<p>Don\'t spend years and years like I did making no progress at all. You can do it. Go past your &lsquo;ceiling\' You\'ll be amazed at how quickly you pick things up once you discipline yourself and put a bit of time aside each day for study.</p>\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, I was in the local gym. I generally exercise in the early afternoon when I\'m virtually the only member there. One of the Thai trainers - clearly in the mood to chat and with nothing else to do - came up to me to ask about the minimum wage in England. So I told him. Then he asked me about how much help the government gave to unemployed people. Then another couple of trainers joined in the conversation and before long I was holding a question and answer session on British culture (one guy even asked if there were many teenage pregnancies)</p>\n<p>It felt good. I can\'t promise my Thai was tone perfect and I managed to get every word in the right order - but I was able to natter in Thai for a good twenty minutes and be generally understood.  Four years ago,.....no, let me correct that......six months ago - I wouldn\'t have got off first base.</p>\n<p>Good luck with your Thai!</p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-3\">The third and final part</a> of this blog series is here.</p>','','2014-08-06 06:49:50',1,'2014-08-06 06:49:50','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23882,80,'Has my son turned into a scaredy cat?','has-my-son-turned-into-a-scaredy-cat','Differences between raising a child in Thailand compared to England.','I am not the comparing type of mum and neither are my friends.

We all find parents whose kids are better at this and that slightly sad. I also know my little one is unique so totally incomparable. However....</p>\n<p>We found ourselves in an adventure playground in Dulwich on a beautiful day - sunny and warm, (or very hot judging by the cries of sun-cream clenching parents) with ice-cream vans on all sides. The playground itself was full to the brim with children speaking multiple languages and from multiple races - London at it\'s finest. So our little boy rapidly joins in the fun, wanting to do everything at once, frenetically running from one side to the next.</p>\n<p>There was a large pirate ship for climbing on, complete with balance beam, slides and swings. It was surrounded with spongy, bouncy landing pads. It wouldn\'t prevent a fall or a scrape but it was cushioned to minimise a broken bone or six. Our three year old was scared. He couldn\'t master the pirate ship frame because he lacked the co-ordination to do so.</p>\n<p>\'Ahhh\' we sighed, rushing to help him. \'Bless him\" we thought, \"he is new to this and still very little\' - until it became obvious that actually it was more than that.</p>\n<p>He had never been on such paraphernalia. Our village slide onto sand posed no real danger or indeed effort. And because the weather is so hot here, we don\'t really spend much time at the local parks.... Yep, here come the excuses! He hadn\'t been on a round-a-bout or swing since he was very little. Nor had he spent much time outside. Blah blah blah.</p>\n<p>It dawned on me that we spent a lot of our time in the indoor play parks where everything is highly managed - everything has a soft landing. The indoor play areas at Eckamai and Funairum are great and we have been there on lots of occasion. They provide hours of jumping,running and laughter but in reality they don\'t have any real world prep and by that I mean levels of challenge.</p>\n<p>Even at his school the \'soft play room\'  (a padded cell) meant he was able to run and jump and fall with no fear. A fear he couldn\'t shake at the adventure park. We have turned our rambunctious three-year-old into an overly cautious scaredy-cat.</p>\n<p>But the scaredy-cat is me really. The surfaces at home are all tiles and wood flooring so jumping from sofa to sofa is a no-no. The fact that I am not sure of the A&amp;E response units getting here and through traffic, makes me question every activity with a scrutiny reserved only for health and safety pen pushers.</p>\n<p>I often read things about children spending too much time watching telly, playing on iPads, or staying indoors and never once considered the real impact of those things because up until now, they didn\'t affect us.</p>\n<p>But it has certainly made an impact and comparing my three-year-old to our friends at home, there is a real difference. I have seen the differences in teaching children here - more complicit, polite etc, but to see the physical and emotional response in my own child was a real surprise and one I am open to suggestions of how to change.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>','','2014-08-10 03:32:15',1,'2014-08-10 03:32:15','2014-09-16 17:05:16'),(23884,59,'If there is time','if-there-is-time','Making more of the precious gift of time and helping others','Time management is the solution.

He even showed the baby, his mother\'s face on the cell phone   yet the baby still continued crying. But when the father began to lift the baby and carried it in his arms, the baby was silent and gazed at the father\'s face with glee and there was total silence. This emotional scene reminds me of time.</p>\n<p>If I have time, I\'ll be with you. If I have time, I\'ll be there to help you. If I have time, I\'ll pay you a visit. If I have time.... endless expressions people say even to their closest friends as if they really don\'t have any time in the world. Why are we so busy all the time? Why don\'t we have time? The answer is, \"Oh, I   don\'t have time because I work 10 hours a day, 7 days a week\".</p>\n<p>So when will we have time? Many of us work ourselves to death; have sideline projects here and there to earn a crust for the family.  Oh man, have a break. Let\'s go out once in a while. Treat ourselves. Amuse ourselves. Enrich our beautiful life. Spend quality time with our family. Do not take them for granted even if we give them their financial needs. Money isn\'t everything. Likewise we have to spend time with our children who need our love and care, attending their meetings in school or setting   good examples as parents for they will be like us in the future.</p>\n<p>Oh, yes, we have time for texting, chatting, and putting selfies on Facebook. We have time for gadgets and technology and forget that people are more important than things.</p>\n<p>When my daughter was five years old, she used to disturb me while I was doing my lesson plans. She would always   pester me to get my attention. But there was a time when I stopped my work and paid attention to her needs.  We both felt good about it and from that time on it was replicated. It was the beginning of our real bonding as father and daughter.</p>\n<p>Texting o talking on the cell phone while walking, buying food from the street and  eating  in the bus, combing hair while going down the stairs, putting up lipstick/make up while rushing to the door, failing to answer e-mails on time, not joining  outreach activities, not visiting our sick friend  are few instances proving that we don\'t have time.<br />. <br />The solution to this is simple, time management. We have all the time in the world so let\'s manage it well. How beautiful our world will be if we only have good time management such that we find time for ourselves and for others as well. With this, we won\'t be selfish, we won\'t spouse indifference, and we won\'t tolerate disorder.</p>\n<p>Next time, find time to have time for people dear to us. We control our time.

I\'m not sure how long it will last as I love nothing more than sinking my teeth into a nice juicy steak. I have always been a health conscious person but my decision to give up beef was more to do with the environmental impact of beef consumption rather than the health issues around red meat.</p>\n<p>I don\'t have any need for beef really and to be honest the meat in Thailand isn\'t anything to miss particularly.

It doesn\'t really make sense. I have no problem eating shrimp, which are essentially the insects of the sea so why should I have a problem eating insects?</p>\n<p>The UK is well behind a lot of other countries, who already eat a whole range of foods that we would turn our noses up at. It isn\'t just Asia, but many European countries already enjoy insects in a range of recipes.</p>\n<p>Watching science videos in Youtube turned me on to the idea of eating insects. They are a much more sustainable food product than even poultry, converting 2kg of feed into 1kg of produce. <a href=\"http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3264e/i3264e00.pdf\">According to this article</a>&nbsp;\"pigs produce 10-100 times more greenhouse gases per kg of weight than mealworms\". Not only that but the nutritional content is far superior to our more traditional meats.</p>\n<p>Saying I am interested doesn\'t mean I am completely ready to commit. As for the bug trays, I am still not sure about the cleanliness of their sources. Are they farmed or just picked up off the streets and out of the sewers? It will take me a while to get used to it but I think I can do it. Maybe I will start with insect flour as I can\'t actually see their legs, maybe make some cookies and go from there.</p>\n<p>ASAP science have a great video on <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM8s1ch5TRw\">the benefits of eating insects</a>&nbsp;and there are now many ways <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1jRxzMsOcI&amp;list=UUznHh6gk3ewFhaTZtdQFWWw\">to incorporate them into our diets</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I work at <a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">The British Early Years Centre in Bangkok</a>.

Tonight, thanks to my local Southeast Asian health care professionals, my horrific debilitating anguish has been numbed to a dull ache.  Feels damn good, and how I got this way is an edifying anecdote.</p>\n<p>I live in Yangon, Myanmar.  After a year in Thailand and then assessing the situation here, I was a bit skeptical about the quality of the health care I might receive when needed in the Golden Land.  Mind you, I\'m in the (cultural) capital.  There are dozens of hospitals here of varying quality., I\'ve got friends who work with aid organizations and their duties often take them into some of the more questionable medical institutions.  The stories I\'ve heard have sometimes made me cringe.</p>\n<p>In many different ways, Yangon makes Bangkok look like Singapore. That said, there\'s still a significant educated class here, and whereas structurally, resource-wise and institutionally, Myanmar is challenged even within the spectrum of ASEAN nations, some of the people here are as good as it gets.</p>\n<h3>Anticipating the levels of care</h3>\n<p>Through my role as an English teacher, I\'ve had the chance to teach several Burmese medical doctors, and I can\'t say I\'ve taught anyone brighter or more sophisticated.  In a nutshell, while I was trying to decide which clinic or hospital to visit for my recent orthopedic pain, I concluded that the level of care here in Yangon would be about the same as I might get in a mid-sized Thai city. A Roi Et, a Chaing Rai, a Nakhon.. Nakhon... a Nakhon Whatever.</p>\n<p>Well, considering I get paid the medium bucks to teach here in this corner of Asia, I decided not to skimp on my health care needs.  My knee hurt like the devil; the resources I was willing to commit to fixing it were commensurate.  I took an eighth\'s of a month\'s pay up to the International SOS Clinic on the site of a posh, lakeside hotel in Yangon\'s fashionable north side. This is where the expats go to get the highest level of care. There, I was seen by a British doctor. He poked me and asked if it hurt. Sent me for an on-site X-ray. Given that I was in a lot of pain, it was at least comforting to express that to another native English speaker.</p>\n<h3>Doctor diagnosis</h3>\n<p>Ultimately, he diagnosed me with Patellafemoral Pain Syndrome (PPS; a really impressive name for bursitis).  When I asked about the treatment, he said, gently (he was somewhat portly himself), that first and foremost, I needed to lose weight.  Well, that\'s great, true and all that, but it didn\'t help me on that day. He also gave me the phone number of a local physical therapist (apparently, how I walk may have something to do with the condition\'s cause) whom they recommended and sent me off with a 3-day script for Tramadol and instructions to rest.  Hmm...  I wasn\'t sure that this was worth the $175 I then paid for this wisdom.</p>\n<p>Two days later, I was hobbling home from the market (I still had to do my shopping), and something twisted funny due to my awkward gait. My back screamed in pain.  I\'d aggravated a bulging disk. Now, I had to endure really bad knee pain AND really bad back pain.  One infuriated the other, and for the first time in 5 months teaching here, I had to call in sick to rest my body.</p>\n<p>Three days later, not much improvement.  My opiate Tramadol had run out and again I had to cancel a class.  This morning, I woke up in so much pain, I couldn\'t walk. Had to use a chair like a walker to get to my bathroom.  Gritting my teeth, I thought about going back to the International SOS Clinic, but in this instance with my back which eclipsed my knee pain by far, I already knew my diagnosis. I just needed treatment.  Off to the local Burmese Hospital I went... errr... stumbled... shambled... what have you.  I walked slowly down my gossip-strewn local street like an octogenerian.</p>\n<p>Ten minutes after walking in the door (and apparently ahead of dozens of locals sitting in the waiting room), I was sitting in front of their orthopedic specialist.  I explained the PPS and the bulging disk.  His English was good (at least his medical English), but even the least fluent speaker wouldn\'t have been able to read how my description of the pain made my eyes tear up.  I hurt!  Pain is a universal language. Please, doctor, help me!</p>\n<p>Doctor Aung Zin gave me a cortizon shot. He gave me a script for three different meds, plus 3 days more worth of cortizon shots (to be injected by neighborhood nurses that I\'ll find myself).  He told me to rest my back by lying in bed as much as possible (writing this blog is kinda defying doctor\'s orders).  I implied that I\'d like a letter that would maximize my resting opportunities by excusing me from work, but as a testament to his ethics, he said no.  He told me I could work. Teaching ain\'t like digging ditches. Work, then rest. You\'ll be fine, he told me.</p>\n<h3>Feeling human again!</h3>\n<p>He was right.  After the treatment, I felt great! Going back to my point about pleasure caused by the cessation of pain, I taught class that night with a big smile on my face and a lot of energy. Between the Cortizon shot and whatever meds he gave me, they killed the pain, yet still left me coherent enough to deliver an awesome TEFL lesson. Damn it was good to be able to walk like a normal human being and not stumble along trying to minimize the horrible agony any movement caused.</p>\n<p>Oh, and the cost of my treatment at the Burmese hospital?  $5 for treatment. My meds cost me $3.  There was a $30 foreigner surcharge, making my total cost $38.  That\'s a long way from my medical insurance\'s $1500 deductible, but 1/4th the cost of the mediocre, going-through-the-motions care I got at the International SOS clinic.</p>\n<p>So, even if you\'re in Yangon, or it\'s Thai mid-sized towns like Mae Sot, Ayutthaya or Rayong, my anecdote\'s point is trust your local healthcare providers. The marginal advantage one gets from paying premium dollars for premium healthcare isn\'t worth it here in Southeast Asia. The most important factor in quality healthcare is quality doctors. As Dr Aung taught me, a quality doctor can be found anywhere.</p>\n<p>I\'ve enjoyed my cessation of pain, that most subtle form of pleasure, and am off to relax and rest. What about you?  My conclusions are based on a single anecdote.  What value have you got, or not gotten, from paying extra for premium Western-standard healthcare?</p>','','2014-08-15 03:38:21',1,'2014-08-15 03:38:21','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23898,20,'The forgotten people','the-forgotten-people','Perhaps it\'s too easy to ignore the plight of the city\'s homeless?','Stroll along any sois and it is not uncommon at all to see men, wild hair unwashed, shoeless and half-naked, scavenge in overflowing bins.

Sometimes I see him, bearded and bare footed, taking pride in this home of his, clearing away the discarded rubbish around him.</p>\n<h3>Distribution of wealth</h3>\n<p>Now I know nothing of this man\'s story, where he\'s from, how he came to Bangkok and why he has hit such hard times.&nbsp;But he has made me reflect on one truth that most Farangs, including myself, choose not to dwell on too much while we live in this city, and that is the enormous disparities in wealth evident here.</p>\n<p>There is no getting away from it, whilst far from rich and having to watch my budget, I live a comfortable existence in this city.&nbsp;I live in a modern condo apartment, with air conditioning, 24-hour security and even have access to a swimming pool and fitness suite, luxuries I couldn\'t dream of back in England.</p>\n<p>Yet walking on the streets of Bangkok - which lets face it many richer Thais rarely have to trouble themselves with anyway - reveals a truth a world away from the huge shopping malls and sealed off condominiums.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The levels of poverty can be quite shocking to Western eyes, or these ones anyway. And I\'m not just talking about those supposed &lsquo;professional\' beggars that you see, who are invariably disabled and often located near to BTS stations.</p>\n<h3>A tough life indeed</h3>\n<p>Stroll along any sois and it is not uncommon at all to see men, wild hair unwashed, shoeless and half-naked, scavenge in overflowing bins. Drug addicts, unfortunate immigrants or just plain poor, it is hard to tell, but pitiful all the same.</p>\n<p>Walking to an MRT station on my return from work once, I saw a homeless man crouched down low, his filthy T-shirt pulled tight over his knees. I was puzzled and instinctively glanced at him, but the man avoided eye contact. It was only when I turned around a few seconds later that I realised what he was doing: defecating on the street, in front of a shop.</p>\n<p>My initial thoughts were those of revulsion, then I confess, of using the incident as a piece of toilet humour to regale people with: the story would certainly entertain my friends back home.&nbsp;But I found myself over days later reflecting on it further, and just feeling pity for him. There are no public toilets here, such as we find back in the UK. The shopping malls are presumably off limits for someone like him.</p>\n<p>I know little of charity provision for homeless people in Bangkok, but I imagine apart from the Buddhist temples, there is very little. Put simply, maybe this man had no choice but to answer his call of nature where he did.</p>\n<h3>Unsavoury reality</h3>\n<p>Bangkok, in short, can be a wonderful place if you have money. For what we would consider a pittance, you can travel from air-conditioned home, via air-conditioned transport to air-conditioned shopping mall, where you can take in a meal, film - pretty much what entertainment you fancy - for a cheap price.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Rich Thais, and some really are very rich, buy the finest in Western consumer goods, pay for the best schools for their children and live in lavish houses, with servants on hand to look after their every whim. They go everywhere by car, and perhaps have no need to confront themselves with the unsavoury reality at street level.</p>\n<p>But reality it is. It strikes me that Bangkok can be a relentlessly hard city for those more unfortunate, especially those who find themselves homeless, stuck in a concrete jungle with the sun beating down and no one seemingly too bothered about what will become of them.</p>\n<p>As for that man living near my condo, I sometimes ponder on whether I should seek him out one day, and maybe help him out a little, even if it is just 100 baht for him to buy a meal that evening.&nbsp;I\'m yet to do so, perhaps demonstrating I\'m just another one of the more fortunate preferring to keep a less savoury truth out of sight and out of mind.</p>\n<p><strong>Adam Beardsmore</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/feet.jpg','2014-08-20 03:09:29',1,'2014-08-20 03:09:29','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23902,71,'Bangkok road rage','bangkok-road-rage','Nutters can be anywhere at any time.','Generally, one of the top questions I get asked from people who have never visited Thailand is: is it safe?

They automatically assume that, because Thailand is still considered (by some sources) to be a third-world country, it must be at least a bit dangerous.</p>\n<p>But my answer is always the same: In my few years in Thailand, I have never once felt unsafe anywhere in our outside of Bangkok... which is a lot more than can be said of various places I\'ve lived in the US. I\'ve always felt secure in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Until yesterday.</p>\n<p>My girlfriend and I were on the way back from a music venue in a taxi around midnight, and apparently our taxi driver changed lanes too quickly as we approached the well-known [traffic nightmare] Ratchayothin intersection and cut up the driver of a BMW.</p>\n<p>It being a red light, the driver of this car jumped out, in the middle of the road, and started waving around something resembling a big iron bar, yelling at the taxi driver and hitting the car with his hand. When his accompanying lady in his passenger seat yelled something to the effect of \"That other taxi is filming you,\" the crazed young Thai guy ran and started threatening the taxi next to us, waving around his iron and beating on the taxi\'s windows. He then ran back to ours, glaring at us in the back seat as I tried to calm myself and my girlfriend, shouted more, jumped back in his car, and sped off.</p>\n<p>Then began the chase. Luckily, we were close to home, so we quickly paid our taxi driver, who used the opportunity to open his boot and pull out what looked like another large piece of metal, and he sped off with the other involved taxi to chase this lunatic. What\'s with Thai drivers carrying around big pieces of metal? I guess it\'s better than guns...</p>\n<p>My point of all this is, no matter how safe you think you are, you\'ve always got to watch out for crazy people. I have no doubt drugs were involved; this was a young guy driving a Beemer, so you know money wasn\'t an issue. I certainly hope no harm came to the taxi drivers.</p>\n<p>Will my answer change about feeling safe in Thailand? Absolutely not; this is the first time anything of this nature has happened to me in Thailand, and obviously, crazy people aren\'t specific to Thailand. I\'ve lived in places like Atlanta where these kinds of events are commonplace.</p>\n<p>That said, I\'d say that everyone should follow the advice most likely given to them as children: be careful, and stay safe!</p>','','2014-08-24 03:50:06',1,'2014-08-24 03:50:06','2014-08-24 17:05:08'),(23919,10,'Beauty\'s only skin deep','beautys-only-skin-deep','Young, good-looking teachers don\'t always have the upper hand you know','If you\'re not a handsome, beautiful-looking teacher, you may want to look away now. The latest Twitter craze among Asian academic students is to share photos of their gorgeous new English teacher on-line and show the world how lucky they are.','<p>If you\'re not a handsome, beautiful-looking teacher, you may want to look away now.  <a href=\"http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/08/26/showmeacuteteacher-students-drool-over-hot-foreign-teachers-online\">The latest Twitter craze among Asian academic students</a> is to share photos of their gorgeous new English teacher on-line and show the rest of the English-studying world how lucky they are.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, teaching ability doesn\'t come into it - you simply have to look good. If you\'re the kind of teacher who stands there in a crisp, white shirt and makes impressionable teenagers go gooey-eyed and weak at the knees, then frankly, you\'d better watch out for those clandestine smartphone images that could turn you into the next internet phenomenon.</p>\n<h3>A favourite tale</h3>\n<p>Reading about this new craze made me chuckle because it reminded me of one of the funniest stories from my 15-year teaching career in Thailand, and I\'d like to share it with you if I may. I think you\'ll enjoy this story even more if you\'re perhaps one of those teachers whose &lsquo;best years\' - at least when it comes to turning heads - are behind them.</p>\n<p>And so to the story. It was the mid-1990s and almost by default (no one else wanted the job) I found myself in the position of academic director at a private language school. The school had two branches and employed about twenty foreign teachers as well as a too large number of Thai administration staff (I have no idea to this day what half of them did all day long)</p>\n<p>Among my numerous responsibilities was the hiring and firing of teaching staff and it\'s fair to say that it was easily the most difficult part of the job. The school paid the princely sum of 220 baht an hour with no guarantee of a minimum number of contact hours. So little wonder that teachers came and went through a perpetual revolving door.</p>\n<h3>Young teachers only!</h3>\n<p>During my tenure, the school also went through a drastic change of image in an effort to appeal to the younger, trendier student-about-town. Just as I was about to oversee yet another teacher recruitment drive, the Thai head of operations came to see me and spelled things out very clearly - the school wanted young, good-looking teachers and that was final. If the teacher was qualified and experienced, then we\'d look on that as a bonus. <br />There was no point arguing.</p>\n<p>So I plowed through piles of teacher applications and based my short-list selection on little else but a photograph. Then I set about calling around and making interview appointments.</p>\n<p>Twenty years ago, the TEFL profession in Thailand was nothing like it is now. There were virtually no teacher agencies supplying foreign teachers to Thai schools. However, the private language school I worked for had just started to get requests from local institutes to provide them with a full-time &lsquo;farang\' teacher - so you could say that this was the beginning of the teacher agency era.</p>\n<p>With dollar signs in his eyes, my Thai boss decided that supplying foreign teachers to third-party schools was definitely a business route we had to explore further and in no time at all, we had taken on a new client - a large Thai secondary school in Central Bangkok. All we needed to do now was find half a dozen full-time teachers to work there for 28,000 baht a month.  Oh, and they all needed to be young and good-looking of course.</p>\n<p>And then in walked Howard.</p>\n<p>Barely twenty summers and recently graduated from The University of Khao San Road, Howard sauntered through the reception. You could hear a pin drop as the Thai admin staff all immediately stopped what they were doing and stared open-mouthed at this vison before them. Besides being immaculately dressed, Howard was everything a school like mine looked for in a foreign teacher. Short, fashionably-cut blonde hair, sparkling blue eyes and a flawless complexion, he looked like he\'d just stepped out of a boy band.</p>\n<h3>The job is yours</h3>\n<p>As Howard sat down with me to start the interview, the Thai boss\'s door opened a couple of inches and I got the all-important thumbs up.  It didn\'t matter that what Howard knew about subject-verb agreement or adjective word order, you could write on the back of a penny black without devaluing it -  here was one guy who was most definitely going to start on Monday.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure to this day it\'s still the easiest job interview that Howard has ever had to sail through.</p>\n<p>The following week, our &lsquo;client school\' called us mid-way through Howard\'s first morning at work.</p>\n<p>\"Oh thank you so much for sending us such a fantastic teacher\"</p>\n<p>\"Er.....has he taught any lessons yet?\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, no.....but he looks fantastic and all the students are really excited.</p>\n<p>Actually, that last sentence didn\'t quite do things justice. Howard had caused a stir of epic proportions. From the moment he walked through the campus, he was the name on everyone\'s painted lips.</p>\n<h3>Teenage hysteria</h3>\n<p>Things went into overdrive when Howard finally received his teaching schedule and actually started conducting classes. English classes that had previously been lucky to see half a dozen sleepy students suddenly became an event.</p>\n<p>Forty, sometimes fifty students, fought over chairs so they could sit near the front of the room and spend an hour just staring dreamily at the new teacher. The girls were bad, the boys were worse. At one stage the school had to deploy a Thai assistant, not to help Howard with teaching the target language, but to prevent students coming to class when their names were not even on the register. Rumor had it that some students even climbed through windows - just to catch a glimpse of Howard before the Thai assistant grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and booted their arses out of the door.</p>\n<p>It was like Beatle-mania all over again.</p>\n<p>The teenage hysteria continued for several weeks until the strangest thing happened. In several of Howard\'s classes, there was a small, hardcore group of female students who actually attended class in order to improve their English. Sat near the whiteboard, probably wearing glasses and braces, they would raise their hands and dare to ask questions if they weren\'t sure of a grammar point. And it slowly dawned on them that Howard didn\'t have the first idea what he was talking about.</p>\n<p>\"But teacher, we don\'t think that\'s right\"</p>\n<h3>The beginning of the end</h3>\n<p>As those words got uttered more and more, you could see Howard\'s confidence and flamboyance start to crumble. By the end of the first month, he was a visible wreck.</p>\n<p>To make matters worse, the novelty of the young, handsome new-kid-in-town had well and truly worn off. Class numbers started to dwindle and the girly female students all found better things to do. Even the &lsquo;ladyboys\' - up to then Howard\'s biggest admirers - decided they would rather be in the bathroom, preening themselves in front of a mirror.</p>\n<p>Eventually, I got the phone call from the school director that I knew was coming. It was just a case of when.</p>\n<p>\"Mr Philip. Is it possible we could change the teacher? Howard is a nice guy but he doesn\'t know anything about teaching English. Could we request someone a bit older and more experienced?\"</p>\n<p>\"No problem\" I said. \"I\'ll sort out a new teacher for you as soon as I can\"</p>\n<p>I don\'t think I quite punched the air after I put the phone down, but I enjoyed a moment of quiet reflection with a smug grin on my face. I couldn\'t wait to tell my Thai boss.</p>\n<p>But he\'d got wind of the news already and gone off to play golf.</p>','','2014-08-27 20:54:31',1,'2014-08-27 20:54:31','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23923,52,'September 2014','september-2014','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s major TEFL courses','If you want to take a TEFL course in Thailand, our monthly TEFL course news blog is right up-to-date with the latest promotions, special offers, starting dates and news from Thailand\'s main training courses.

I wish I could say the same for the scheme too but unfortunately it falls well short of the reliability of the songs themselves.</p>\n<p>Around the time that I gained my teaching qualification, the Letters and Sounds scheme was just being introduced. Since incorporating it into my teaching I have never looked back. The Phonics curriculum that we use at our school is built around this scheme and in fact we have taken it even further, developing the latter activities in phases 5 and 6, which the authors seemed to neglect slightly.</p>\n<p>The beauty of a scheme such as Letters and Sounds, unlike the Jolly Phonics Scheme, is that it doesn\'t need to be followed religiously, but rather it is more of a framework to work by. Whilst ideas for activities are suggested, lesson plans are easily altered to suit the needs of individuals in different classes.</p>\n<p>The outdoor environment is perfect for teaching phonics and clever use of playground facilities can really help give an added boost to the children\'s attention spans. At our school we actively encourage teachers and children to work outside. A &lsquo;Phonics Raceway\' is a current favourite with our Reception children. The children drive the toy cars around our racetrack and must stop at the signposts to read words that are leveled and graded for the various ability groups in the class.</p>\n<p>Jolly Phonics is such a synthetic phonics scheme. It is really designed for the less experienced of teachers. Daily worksheets are used to support and extend unimaginative lessons. Lessons quickly become dull and monotonous and only a small percentage of a class is really enthused by the humdrum structure of the teach / practice phase.</p>\n<p>The Letters and Sounds approach allows children of all learning styles to access the teaching; a child might be practicing writing the &lsquo;y\' sound in actual yoghurt or using a metal detector to search for &lsquo;s\' words on coins, buried in a sand pit. The possibilities are endless and it doesn\'t take much to work out which one of the schemes will have the most impact on a child\'s learning.</p>\n<p>Although the Jolly Phonics scheme itself is poor, I do have to concede that the Jolly Phonics &lsquo;Songs\' still continue to impress me for their longevity and resilience. There aren\'t many teaching resources that have gone on for so long without any real revamp and this staying power is made more impressive when you consider the competition from new technologies that have emerged since its introduction.</p>\n<p>The reason for the continued popularity of the Jolly Phonics Songs isn\'t actually that mysterious when you sit and think about it. The original idea really is fantastic. Take traditional and well known children\'s rhymes, make up a short verse for audio learners and then add an action to each song to appeal to visual learners. Job done. If only there was a tactile element to the resource!</p>\n<p>The most surprising thing is that the scheme and the songs have not been developed further, although this may be a testament to the beauty and holism of the original idea. The resources that support the songs have not changed since their initial conception and perhaps it is time for an update.</p>\n<p>There is huge potential for an overhaul, that incorporates the technological changes that have occurred over the last decade or so; the images and pictures, characters, workbooks (if you use them) could all be updated and improved. When you consider the vast number of both English speaking and non-English speaking countries that use Jolly Phonics worldwide, it seems crazy not to build on the success of the original Jolly Phonics program.</p>\n<p>There is an argument that the successor for Jolly Phonics as THE mainstay classroom resource has arrived and I would have to agree. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=beyc+alphablocks\">Alphablocks is absolutely fantastic</a>, incorporating colourful, imaginative songs and stories that manage to appeal to all types of learners. The creators are building on their initial success and creating links with <a href=\"http://www.pearsonbugclub.com/\">Pearson\'s Bug Club too</a>.</p>\n<p>The only downside of Alphablocks is that to really see it used to its full potential classrooms need to be equipped with the technological advances that Jolly Phonics goes without. This is fine for first world countries but schools on a budget will have to do what they can for now. Until every classroom around the world is equipped with an interactive whiteboard, a T.V. or a full set of tablets for the children, Alphablocks\' simply cannot take the No. 1 spot as the phonics teaching support resource that it could be.</p>\n<p>Once every classroom has access to new technologies the possibilities become endless.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>David Walters</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">Head of British Early Years Centre</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-09-05 06:39:44',1,'2014-09-05 06:39:44','2014-09-05 20:08:45'),(23929,59,'It\'s selfie time!','its-selfie-time','Where did the selfie craze start and why do we love it?','It is a fascinating word widely uttered by almost everyone who uses the camera, tablet, and cell phone to post on social media. How did this word originate? Who took the first selfies? Why do people post selfies?','<p>For  those who have no time to read about the topic  or  for those who take selfies but &nbsp;don\'t know its history, then this blog is for you. The  most popular word  used nowadays, as  declared by The 2013 Oxford Dictionary\'s &nbsp;\"Word of the Year\"  and  the \"Top 10 buzzword\" of  Time Magazine is the subject of my blog this month. It is a fascinating word widely uttered by almost everyone who uses the camera, tablet, and cell phone to  post on social media.  How did this word originate? Who took the first selfies? Why do people post selfies?</p>\n<p>Well, \"selfie\" according to The Oxford Dictionary  is a self-portrait photograph typically taken with a hand-held camera or camera-phone often shared on social media. People do this when they want to bolster their ego, tell the world about themselves, remind friends of their looks, get social support, derive intimacy from friends, have fun, and strengthen relationship with friends.</p>\n<p>People have different reasons for taking selfies</p>\n<p>\"A daily selfie is like announcing to the world to please pay attention to you because obviously your spouse is not\". - By a Someecard user</p>\n<p>\"Thank you so much for posting a selfie every single day. I really think I\'d forget what you look like if I wasn\'t reminded every 24 hours.\" - By a Someecard user</p>\n<p>My friends have their own reasons for posting their selfie pictures\"</p>\n<p>\"I have nothing to do. \" \"I want to show others how beautiful I am.\" \"I want people to envy me.\" \"Just for fun.\" \"..for no reason. I just like doing it.\"\"...because everybody does it.\" \" I want affirmation from friends how gorgeous I am.\" \"I want them to think how amazing I am.\"</p>\n<p>In my opinion it is a sign of ego-tripping, a projection of ourselves needing recognition. That\'s why  we repeatedly show our face to friends? This trend reflects our focus towards self-centeredness.</p>\n<p>The first known selfie was taken by Robert Cornelius in 1839. Grand Duchess Anastacia Nikolaevna, one of the first teenagers to take her own picture using a mirror to send to a friend in 1914. The earliest usage of the word can be traced far back as 2002. It first appeared in an Australian internet forum on 13 September 2012.</p>\n<p>The first sensational selfie was from President Barack Obama\'s presidential election in 2012.  But the record breaking and the most sensational selfie ever that went viral was  that of  Ellen DeGeneres, an American TV host during the 2014 Oscars.</p>\n<p>I know someone who posts selfies on Facebook all the time. I wonder what he gets from doing this? One time, I went out with a friend and upon reaching a mall, she got out her tablet and asked me to take her picture from one area to another.</p>\n<p>Even inside the mall, the same thing was done. I was like an obedient dog taking her shots and making her happy. Every time I took a shot and she would look at the photos, she would laugh out loud. As a friend, I supported her because what are friends for?</p>\n<p>Watching people take selfies is interesting. Watch your friends or other people doing this. They are oblivious to what\'s happening around them or who   sees them. They are so engrossed in their own little world not caring what others may say. After all, when they send the photos to social media, thousands    of friends will view it.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, the most popular selfies are the  weirdest, the most unconventional, the most unique and the most extra-ordinary.</p>\n<p>Maybe you take selfies too. Do you like them? Do you care about what negative things people say?</p>\n<p>As someone\'s Facebook friend, I like and post comments on   selfies. The majority of my comments are positive because I am an encouraging friend. I  want to make my Facebook friends happy.</p>\n<p>Next time when you see your students, friends, and acquaintances, take pictures of them. Selfies don\'t do anyone any harm. They are an outlet for individuals to invite reaction from friends who are miles and miles away, reactions which they may not get in real life.</p>\n<p>Oops. Excuse me. Somebody needs a shot for Facebook. I\'ll get back to you next month. Until then.</p>','','2014-09-05 06:51:19',1,'2014-09-05 06:51:19','2014-09-05 21:09:21'),(23942,20,'The teaching diploma','the-teaching-diploma','Improving your long-term career prospects','A look at the tightening restrictions in the Thailand TEFL industry and getting yourself diploma certified.','<p>Coming to teach English in Thailand just isn\'t what it used to be a decade ago. While demand for teachers has increased, the Teachers\' Council of Thailand has tightened up stipulations to licence foreign teachers, and rumours continually persist of further restrictions on who exactly can officially work as a foreign teacher here.</p>\n<p>There\'s a great deal of uncertainty in Thailand in the post coup environment as lax law-enforcement has become top priority for the junta government. Visa restrictions are being tightened up, ed visas are coming under scrutiny and teachers without licences or waivers are beginning to feel quite insecure about their futures here.</p>\n<p>Getting qualified with a proper teaching diploma looks like the obvious way forward for long-term English teachers in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>New stipulations</h3>\n<p>Prior to the ousting of the previous government, some important changes were imminently expected and the Ministry of Education may still go ahead later in 2014. <a href=\"http://www.thailandteaching.asia/content/130-licenses-still-must-teachers-council-thailand-tct-says.html\">In this Bangkok Post article (Sept 2013)</a>, the then education minister Chaturon Chaisaeng made it clear that they expect those with intention to teach full time in Thailand to get properly qualified. But he also conceded that some leniency would be needed due to the need to retain ESL teachers.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Criteria-for-issuing-permits-to-foreign-teachers-t-30224327.html\">In a more recent article in the Nation (January 2014)</a>, it was announced that approval had been made to promulgate stricter minimum requirements for teachers in Thailand, suggesting that everyone would now need a teaching diploma or education degree as a minimum. Full details were revealed on the MoE\'s website <a href=\"http://www.en.moe.go.th/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1921:conference-no32557-of-the-ministry-of-education&amp;catid=1:news&amp;Itemid=42\">as minutes of the meeting</a>.</p>\n<p>To my mind rumours that they will expect an education degree or masters are far-fetched and simply unrealistic.</p>\n<p>In short, they are intending to move towards licensing only those with a minimum one-year post graduate teaching diploma (in the absence of a degree in education).</p>\n<p>Obviously one needs to have a general degree to achieve a diploma. However, it is unlikely that such a move can be practically implemented immediately. Without a grace period of at least a year, many schools would lose their ESL teachers, causing a crisis in the industry. In fact, Prime Minister Prayuth even mentioned the need for some flexibility in visas and work permits for TEFL teachers specifically during his weekly address on August 22nd.</p>\n<p>Presently teachers are given a two-year grace, typically to &lsquo;gain experience\' but mostly to accommodate the many foreigners working as TEFL tutors. A further two years is granted on case-by-case basis if you\'ve got a good track record. Most likely they will reduce this to only a single two-year temporary licence waiver, giving ample time for teachers with genuine career intentions to get the diploma.</p>\n<h3>Internal politics</h3>\n<p>Before continuing, we should consider why they are doing this? One reason is &lsquo;office politics\'. All Thai teachers are expected to be properly qualified and would have completed a degree and sat diploma exams with internships. Ex-minister Chaturon recently said that there\'s an oversupply of Thai teachers, with more than 60,000 graduating each year, chasing just 20,000 openings. For one, their jobs are being potentially taken by foreigners.</p>\n<p>The most a teacher can expect to earn in a standard school is  usually 15,000 baht. Then arrives a young, inexperienced, foreigner with a degree irrelevant to teaching, and with no training, expecting to get no less than 30,000 baht. There\'s not much the school can do if it needs foreign teachers, so it\'s a logical solution to demand that everyone gets a certificate in teaching. This will negate some of the displeasure felt among local teachers. If you\'re serious about making a career out of teaching in Thailand you should consider spending a year studying part-time towards this post-grad qualification.</p>\n<p>As a reminder, the details available on the TCT site, are summarised as follows;</p>\n<p>To obtain a permanent teacher\'s licence a person must:</p>\n<p>1.	be over 21 years of age<br />2.	have completed a degree (any)<br />3.	have completed one year of teaching experience<br />4.	have a certificate/diploma in teaching from a recognised institution as an alternative to an education degree<br />5.	have completed an ethics and culture course.</p>\n<h3>Temporary licences</h3>\n<p>To accommodate a huge demand for TEFL teachers, and trainee teachers, a temporary licence is issued if you satisfy points 1 and 2, and this lasts for two years. As previously mentioned it typically can be extended for two more years, usually if you have a consistent record at a particular school.</p>\n<p>Being Thailand there is usually inconsistent information given out, arbitrary implementation of the restrictions, and anecdotal evidence of people being granted leniency. This makes it difficult for anyone to give an absolute guideline. But the message is clear, the Ministry would like all teachers to meet a minimum professional standard according to tertiary level institutions.</p>\n<h3>Permanent licences</h3>\n<p>To be fully licenced as a teacher in Thailand you clearly need either a degree in education or post-grad teaching diploma. This is the challenge faced by any TEFL teacher who has been in Thailand for four years already.  Many are now looking for options to satisfy this. There is, however, an alternative offered: the Professional Knowledge test.</p>\n<h3>Professional Knowledge Test</h3>\n<p>This is a set of five tests which are periodically offered by the TCT, with suggested study material. It is a substitute for a diploma and can, theoretically, be completed in a matter of months. But in truth those who have taken it mostly find it frustrating, incoherent at times, and difficult to pass on the first attempt.</p>\n<p>Some pass a couple of the tests to satisfy authorities towards an extension. It is not really that useful outside of Thailand however. For the effort involved, it is probably wiser to study for a diploma from one of the institutions abroad offering a distance learning program. Those who have passed the PK test can rightly feel proud, it\'s quite a rigmarole. It is cheaper than studying for a diploma however.</p>\n<h3>What about TEFL?</h3>\n<p>For the benefit of those new to the subject, I will briefly add that the standard 120-hour TEFL certificate commonly offered in Thailand and elsewhere is not required for a TCT temporary licence. However, recruiters do like to see that you\'ve taken the trouble to learn TEFL teaching methods and will usually favour those with a recognised TEFL cert, certainly if you are an inexperienced teacher. At the very least you should enter the profession with this training. The shorter online courses are not recommended since they lack the teaching practicum component.</p>\n<h3>Diplomas</h3>\n<p>Most countries in the world have a standard requirement for authorising teachers, both in the public and private sphere. Typically they require you to take a post-graduate diploma in teaching, which includes internship. It really varies from one country to the next, some are called certificates, or licences. In the United Kingdom you are expected to first past the Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), then spend a year or two as a trainee teacher before you are fully qualified with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).</p>\n<p>In Ireland, Australia and New Zealand they each have a similar standard referred to in each as the Post-Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE). In the United States it is administered on a state level, with most local education departments expecting prospective teachers to sit exams which are presently administered by the Education Testing Service (ETS) or Pearsons Education. Courses exist to guide you through this.</p>\n<p>In Thailand the TCT maintains a database of worldwide institutions which it recognises as authorised to award degrees and diplomas, and a teaching certificate from one of these will satisfy the teacher licence application. The database is published online but it is not up-to-date, and it\'s necessary to enquire directly with the TCT (Khurusapa) sometimes.</p>\n<p>In recent years a number of local universities or colleges have begun offering diplomas or education degrees. Unfortunately several have been rescinded after it was discovered that Isarn University was apparently selling certificates.</p>\n<h3>PGCEi</h3>\n<p>This is the international version of the UK PGCE, offered by distance learning at several British universities and the most likely choice for those wishing to do things properly, and not restrained by budget. However, its relationship to the full PGCE is quite vague and those universities offering it are clear that its specifically for teaching abroad and offer no guarantee that credits can be converted to the official PGCE.</p>\n<p>Presently there are four approved programs that I\'m aware of that can studied by correspondence, with exams sat in Thailand, this is not a definitive list but based on widely confirmed online forum feedback.</p>\n<p><strong>Nottingham University</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>They offer a popular PGCEi program in many centres around the world including Bangkok (with an orientation in Oct 2014), application deadline however has past (20 August). You need a second class degree minimum to apply. 60 credits towards an MA Education at the same university are awarded. Hitherto this seems to have been the only route in Thailand to study towards a recognised diploma where exams can be take locally, and their recent intake included two dozen or more.</p>\n<p>Full price: &pound;3,170 (165,000thb), may not include local exam fees. <br />Website  contact: Helen.l.smith@nottingham.ac.uk</p>\n<p><strong>Keele University</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Their PGCEi is far more thorough and expensive with variable fees according to your prior teaching experience. It\'s now run from their Southeast Asian centre in Malaysia with enrolment for the forthcoming year now closed (course started 11th August). You will need a good second class degree to apply.

It is the standard qualification for becoming a teacher in that country and I understand many Filipinos now work abroad in international schools with a similar certificate on top of Masters degrees in other subjects.</p>\n<p>It\'s been offered in Thailand for a year now with UniTEFL in Chiang Mai appointed as the enrolment and examination representatives. However, it appears to only be available for Filipinos at this stage.  Credits count towards their MA education. You need to have completed a degree to apply. Enrolment for August Trimester has passed, next enrolment is January.</p>\n<p>Full Price: $3,790/121,000thb, all inclusive, payable in three trimesters.<br />Website   contact: pwu-enrolment@unitefl.com</p>\n<p><strong>New Era University</strong></p>\n<p>A similar course offered by PWU, known as the Certificate in Professional Teaching, which is open to all nationalities, and has just been launched, so has no track record. Also located in the Philippines, this university is well established and has a large distance learning programme apparently. The course grants credits to their MA in education online. It\'s significantly cheaper than the others and once proven to be of good standing is likely to be popular with Thailand teachers on a budget. It\'s also administered in Thailand by UniTEFL, with exams sat in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. You need to have completed a degree to apply.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Full price: $3,360/108,000thb ($300 less for Filipinos), all inclusive. Slightly more if paying by semester. <br />Website   contact neu-enrolment@unitefl.com</p>\n<p>All four programs are offered by universities listed in the OCSC database of recognised institutions according to the TCT for approved qualifications. I have met people who have graduated from each of these programs except the New Era one, claiming to have gained their teaching licence once qualified.</p>\n<p>As a side note, The Philippines was ranked 42nd in the world for tertiary level education standards in the recent Times Supplement on Higher Learning. Thailand was 82nd and Malaysia 17th.</p>\n<h3>Can you get a job with an international school with a PGCEi?</h3>\n<p>Yes, is the short answer. The PGCEi is specifically designed for teachers wanting to work at the highest level in countries where private schools seem to have one foot in each of two education departments. However, the various international schools, of which there are dozens and dozens in Thailand alone, have quite variable standards for recruiting teachers.</p>\n<p>A top notch British Institution such as Shrewsbury almost certainly prefers British teachers with the QVT and an impressive CV of experience. A missionary Christian school in Chiang Mai, such as Grace International, only accept teachers sponsored by churches in the US. Then there are private schools owned by a Thai family running GCSE O/A levels who will hire anyone suitable. And there are many of these, presenting good opportunities for experienced TEFL teachers who have attained a PGCEi or similar. Since their classroom is multi-cultural, they tend to hire a mix of nationalities to teach, so that a credible teaching diploma involving a rigorous one-year course of study is considered on a case-by-case basis.</p>\n<p>In discussion with one headmistress from a new international school in Chiang Mai, off the record she said that a recognised teaching diploma from various countries would be considered alongside other strengths on their CV, but that all teachers hired should have the teaching certificate.</p>\n<h3>What about the EP?</h3>\n<p>This is where the greatest opportunities lie for the standard ESL teacher wanting to advance up the career ladder, and a good reason why you should get certified as professional teacher. The rise of the English Programme (EP) is phenomenal in Thailand, where more and more demand is emerging from the growing Middle Class.</p>\n<p>These are private (and some public) Thai schools under the MoE supervision that are teaching the curriculum in English, using foreigners. You will be a homeroom teacher teaching various subjects, not just English, therefore it\'s imperative you are correctly trained and certified as a proper teacher. The salaries are, on the whole, 30 per cent more and many TEFL teachers are now applying for these positions.</p>\n<p>If you have been an ESL teacher in Thailand for several years, and will need to invest time and money in getting a diploma in teaching to maintain your licensure, this is the way to go - stepping up to EP and eventually International School jobs.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Godfree Roberts</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Godfree Roberts received his EdD from UMass and has taught ESL all over the world.

My Maltese background meant I was afforded a lot of thick, curly and healthy hair but something sinister has been going on. It\'s our two year anniversary this week and lots of people have asked me what\'s changed and what I miss. Well it\'s my hair.<br /><br />Bangkok stole my curls. The humidity equals frizz and yes, there\'s lots of lotions, potions, bottles and tubes which promise sleek hair but they all lie. I have a theory that the water is mostly to blame and reading other women\'s posts, I\'m not alone. In a frantic attempt to find the reason, I searched the net and found lots of ideas. But even the natural remedies such as cider vinegar and baking soda require rinsing with water. Is the water worse than London\'s, which is known for its \'hardness\', essentially a euphemism for its reputation for being chemically enhanced.<br /><br />Talk to any expat lady, they will tell you a horror story about hairdressing here. A 400B price tag does not equal a Tony and Guy cut so be prepared to pay European prices for your cut n blow dry but even then you can not guarantee its condition. Most friends say they will wait until they go home to have it done and I don\'t blame them. My hairdresser at home was aghast and I got a lecture about sun damage, regular trims and conditioning treatments.<br /><br />But all that stuff just doesn\'t seem to work here. I know. I have tried them.</p>\n<p>The oddity is that apart from sun damage, changing my brunette to burnt orange, (another arggghhh) it\'s not full of split ends. A massage lady, who delivered an amazing massage said in broken Thai, that my hair needed love and that I shouldn\'t wear it up as it is breaking it. So I\'ve opted for a shorter cut as the length was too hot to leave down, it felt like a carpet on my back and often resulted in scrapping up into a bun. So maybe, just like we have acclimatised to 16 degrees being winter, maybe my hair adjusted by thinning out like a husky in summer.<br /><br />My inquisitive self met another curly haired lady and I asked her about her hair. She concluded the same, we had been robbed of our curls by a city which only appreciates sleek, Brazilian blow dries. So if there is a magical formula for bringing back my curls, or a god or godess of twirls that can help restore my locks to its former glory, then please let me know....</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-09-16 03:41:54',1,'2014-09-16 03:41:54','2014-09-19 13:01:55'),(23950,71,'It\'s a crazy world of English out there','its-a-crazy-world-of-english-out-there','Imagine being a student trying to get to grips with all those accents?','As a native English speaker who has done some fairly extensive travelling, I\'ve realised the advantages I\'ve had when it comes to understanding the many different \"flavours\" of English that exist.','<p>As a native English speaker who has done some fairly extensive travelling, I\'ve realised the advantages I\'ve had when it comes to understanding the many different \"flavours\" of English that exist.</p>\n<p>I often take for granted that I understand \"schedule\" is pronounced \"SKEH-djule\" or \"SHEH-djule\", depending on where you\'re from. I am fully aware that \"chips\" could also be confused with \"crisps\", and \"a-LU-mi-num\" is also \"al-u-MIN-e-um\". And, has anyone besides my MS Word dictionary even noticed that I\'m using UK spelling and grammar?</p>\n<p>These kinds of differences in English are things I just write-off to different cultures and ways of learning, but for Thai students, from whom I all-too-often hear that London is the capitol of America (not even the US... read: culturally unaware), national/regional English differences make something that\'s already quite complicated... well, ridiculous.</p>\n<p>I\'ve found this to be especially difficult for private and/or corporate students in Thailand, as they often enroll in multiple sections of 20/30/40 hour courses that each have different instructors and course materials. \"But teacher, my last teacher said &lsquo;tomAHto\', and you say &lsquo;toMAto\', so who is right?\" From the standpoint of someone trying [well... lazily trying] to learn Thai from different people who pronounce the same things differently, I can completely understand the problem. What is there to do?</p>\n<p>Pronunciation exacerbated, overall accents are another biggie. Amusingly to me, in my experience most Thai public schools and language centers gravitate towards British English textbooks, focusing on UK grammar and spelling. Yet, often, when a teacher pronounces a word with a British accent, the students respond with a blank stare. Repeat the word again, trying to sound like Brad Pitt, and bingo! The eagle has landed.</p>\n<p>To be fair, many Americans (of which I must admit I am, for better or worse) I know have no idea what someone with a thick Brummie or Scottish accent is saying either; I often forget that I\'m an oddball in that my favorite TV shows include Are You Being Served, Yes Minister, and Black Adder, among many other British comedies, and allowing me to be exposed to many of these regional accents and/or dialects. What can I say, I\'m a sucker for old Brit Coms.</p>\n<p>Whereas Americans at least share the same general language and vocabulary, my Thai students often have quite a hard if not impossible time understanding accents that are different than those they are accustomed to; Thai focuses far more on a mainstream pronunciation than English due to its tones, and listening for multiple pronunciations of the same word is no easy feat. I\'ve given up watching Sherlock and Top Gear with my Thai girlfriend without subtitles.</p>\n<p>I always try to draw attention to the differences in UK versus US peculiarities (and I\'m generalising here-all native English varieties) as they arise in classes. My explanation is typically something positive along the lines of, that\'s the cool yet confusing thing about English; there are many \"correct\" ways to pronounce and write English.

Like most expats that have been living in Bangkok a good number of years, I have no affiliation with one political movement or the other. The Yellow and Red shirts to me seem to be pretty much as good and bad as each other and once in power there is little to choose between them. So I will be keeping any political views I do or don\'t have, out of the following article.</p>\n<p>Also like most expats in Thailand in whatever industry we work in, all we want is political and more importantly economic stability so we can get on with our daily lives and livelihoods, something in short supply in the years I have been living in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Despite the disparaging reports the Western media seem to revel in when referring to the current so-called military junta that governs in Thailand at present, most expats I have encountered in all types of workplaces in Thailand seem to think the Thai army have brought a much needed stability to Thailand.</p>\n<p>Of course the biased Western media who sometimes don\'t understand a situation fully, prefer to report on sensational, if not ludicrous stories, rather than doing a bit more research to report the truth. <a href=\"http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/world/asia/article4203843.ece?shareToken=bff5ff3e2a6cf9cd7198c4787d514fa7 \">A rather comical such report</a> appeared in the well-respected Times newspaper in the UK last week claiming how people were protesting against the Thai Army by publicly eating sandwiches is typical of such international views.</p>\n<p>However for seasoned expats in general, life has rarely been more stable in Thailand. And how has this affected the Thai real estate market?</p>\n<p>To answer the question I have to divide the answers between short-term and long-term.</p>\n<p>In the immediate aftermath of the coup, many embassies, governments and international companies or investors immediately blackballed Thailand, a typical knee jerk reaction. Suspecting the worst and no doubt egged on by the Western media they warned their respective citizens to avoid Thailand for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>Of course armed with such official warnings, many expats who had planned to come and work in Bangkok decided against it, after all when your own officials warn you, it is natural to think that they know better. This of course led to a relatively quiet period for Bangkok real estate as the market had to find its feet in this new military-run Thailand. Markets of any sort hate uncertainty and when uncertainty is all that people can see they naturally prefer to sit it out, and wait.</p>\n<p>Fortunately for the Bangkok real estate market, the short-term passed fairly quickly and within 4-6 weeks, the market and certainly the expats already living in Thailand realized that the new regime were fulfilling promises, and acting as a stable force. In fact the announcement that their rule will last over a year brought a good bit of stability to most businesses. Landlords and home owners could relax and tenants could safely search for 12 month rentals with confidence.</p>\n<p>Of course no action can occur in isolation and the military coup in Thailand is no exception. Any expat will already know that despite shortcomings of the domestic politics in Thailand, the SE Asian region is still on course to enter in to the AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) and many small and big businesses are preparing for this regardless of the political situation. Therefore residential and commercial real estate still is being built in central and urban areas of Bangkok at a quick pace.</p>\n<p>One set of projects that illustrate this well are the fast paced developments of the EMQuartier, EMSphere and refurbishment of the Emporium all located in central Sukhumvit near Phrom Phong BTS.</p>\n<p>Not content with having one large (by Western standards) luxury shopping plaza located near Phrom Phong BTS, the owners of the existing Emporium have decided to build not one, but two more huge luxury shopping plazas next to the existing Emporium. And if that was no enough, they have decided to also renovate the Emporium plaza almost fully, including the alteration of the sky-bridge to the BTS Phrom Phong station.</p>\n<p>If any visiting or residing Westerner ever wanted confirmation of what those who run big business in Thailand think of the new regime, then this is it. Surely if there was a sense of fear or worry that the current regime may have a negative impact on the Thai economy then real estate projects like this massive amount of new retail space would be halted or at least slowed down - neither has occurred.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This in addition to the dozens of huge condo developments that have opened their doors or still under construction illustrate perfectly that the people that control the economy and are highly well-connected clearly trust that Thailand is headed in the right direction, despite whatever a UK newspaper or US TV station may report.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

I could not help but wonder where Thai food fits in.</p>\n<p>When I first came to Thailand, I was not very familiar with Thai cuisine. I had eaten at Thai restaurants, but the food served there was nothing like the food found throughout Thailand. It was too sweet, repetitive, not spicy enough, and even somewhat boring. The food in Thailand itself is spicier and more varied than I could have expected.</p>\n<p>No matter how mundane my day is, even if I spend my time watching television and checking quotidian emails, I know my meals will be an adventure in and of themselves. I cannot go a week without spicy somtam, laap, or pak boong. And I\'ve lived here for two years.</p>\n<p>Everyone in Thailand is a natural gourmet. It appears to be a natural right of every Thai citizen to eat delicious and nutritious food. Flavorful Thai meals can be bought for as little as 25 baht. I find that really uplifting. No matter how horrible someone\'s day is, that person at least knows that he or she will be able to have several delicious meals.</p>\n<p>There\'s nothing better than sitting at a roadside stall eating a freshly-cooked meal. Who cares if the restaurant is next to a dumpster in a polluted area? It tastes good, and that\'s all that matters.</p>\n<p>The mixture of flavors and seasonings makes western, and even Chinese food seem bland. Not a day goes by when my taste buds are not inundated with garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and chili. Thai cuisine perfectly blends sweet, spicy, salty, and sour flavors. If Japanese cuisine proves that simple, austere meals can be truly delicious, then Thai cuisine shows us that it is possible to mix strong flavors and still create a winning combination.</p>\n<p>I am not sure what I consider to be the world\'s greatest cuisines, but I know that the list cannot be complete without Thai food.</p>\n<p>Here\'s a supposition of mine: the Thai love of food derives from the country\'s emphasis on hospitality. A large number of Thai people I\'ve met have gone above and beyond to be gracious hosts, and nothing is more inviting to a weary traveler than a good meal.</p>\n<p>Despite many complaints about the Thai pace of life and incompetence (I have to say I agree with the detractors on this point), Thai hospitality is second to none. Most Thai people are more than willing to prepare a good meal for their guests. They take great pride in their cuisine, as they should.</p>\n<p>There are times when I think that Thai pride borders on chauvinism. Few Thai people can bear to hear criticism of their country, even when said criticism is valid; the national anthem is played twice a day; and foreigners are constantly asked to leave the country on online message boards if they say something Thai people do not want to hear.</p>\n<p>I sometimes wonder why Thai people are so proud. Their infrastructure leaves something to be desired and criminal anti-defamation penalties destroy any chance at freedom of speech. But then I remember the kindness and graciousness of the Thai people, and I can see why Thailand is called \"the land of smiles.\" I will always remember Thai generosity, and I will certainly never forget Thai food.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-09-22 07:00:06',1,'2014-09-22 07:00:06','2014-09-22 21:09:08'),(23986,52,'October 2014','october-2014','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s leading TEFL courses','Thinking of taking a TEFL course in Thailand?

Working in a foreign land hasn\'t been easy. It took me years and a lot of patience and hard work to get settled, not to mention the ocean of tears and heartbreaking homesickness.','<p>It\'s October again and this month, I\'m celebrating my 10th year in Thailand as an ESL Teacher. Working in a foreign land hasn\'t been that easy. It took me years and a lot of patience and hard work for to get settled not to mention the ocean of tears and heart breaking homesickness being away from home.</p>\n<p>There were cold and lonely nights. There were uncountable nightmares and unbearable pains of getting sick but still had to get up the next day for another long day. I must be strong at all times to prove my worth as a teacher. I had to be a clown for sometimes, an actress, an acrobat, a dancer or any one that could give my students some sort of fun and encourage them to learn English in a fun and more relaxing way. I\'m an artist so I can produce and design my own teaching aids and materials creatively.</p>\n<p>In my journey, I\'ve met a lot of people along the way. Bad and good people. From the South to the North, East to the West, I\'ve experienced being discriminated over European Teachers and Native English Speakers. I\'m not white. I\'m Asian. I\'m a Filipino. But discrimination never stopped me from doing good and proving myself to every school I\'ve work with.</p>\n<p>Modesty aside, I\'m a licensed and professional teacher with Master\'s Degree and loads of training certificates to boast about. But in the Land of Smiles, the white people gets paid higher than me although some of them are just backpackers and no degree. Well, as years passed by, I got used to it, but still hoping and praying to get recognized and paid equally, not based on my race but by my performance.</p>\n<p>From the good people I have met along my journey, I could mention a few. Pi Tuh and Pi Dek from Yala who took care of me in my first year of teaching in Thailand, Ajarn Am- Orn and Khun Charin who were so good to me during my stay in the deep South.(In Thailand, Pi is addressed to older people like brothers and sisters equivalent to Kuya and Ate to Philippines. Ajarn or Kru is addressed for teachers.)</p>\n<p>Ms. Nok and Mr. Simon Jack of Arundel Language Institute were a couple, the owners of the agency, who made me feel like I\'m one of them. No discrimination. They also treated the Filipino teachers as equal to Europeans and NES. Ms. Nok was not just my employer. She was a good friend and a confidant. No dull moment with her.</p>\n<p>In Bangkok, I will never forget Khun Pii and Ajarn Lawrie of Ramkangheang Institute of Languages who were so supportive to all foreign teachers. Ajarn Jinthana and Ajarn Nudtanong of Nonthaburi Project deserved the praises of being accommodating, understanding and supportive to me. But among the good, there are better and there would always be the best.</p>\n<p>In my current school, I found a new family. I have Apple, Suenead, Pam and Ou. They\'re my good friends. My younger sisters in Thailand. I remember the first time I came here, a very fine lady approached me and offered me a teaching job. I didn\'t have any plan of applying then because I was expecting to work with the agency that Nico, a good friend, was managing. But something came up so I called her up. But to my bad, they had already hired an Iranian Teacher.</p>\n<p>Days passed by and I was already losing hope but I had nothing to do but knelt down and pray for miracles. Then I got a phone call that changed all my plans. It was Ajarn Orasri Sittichotti. She was an English Teacher in my school for nearly 37 years and was a French Teacher for 30 years. She was then the Head of the English Department.</p>\n<p>I was hired in the school two years ago. And for two years, Ajarn Orasri was always by my side, to give moral support and to be an inspiration. Few months ago, she requested me to bring home the gold prize from the SKIT Competition. For a charming and lovely boss like her, who could day \"No\"? So I did. My MEP students brought home \"gold\" and a place from among 22 very good MEP schools in Bangkok. The very first gold that my department got from English Competitions.</p>\n<p>My School Director and the rest of the Assistant Directors were so happy but of course, my boss. But this month, Ajarn Orasri is retiring. She loves traveling around the world. She\'s been to Japan, Korea, and China, India and other ASEAN Countries. She was in Europe for multiple times and her favorite country is France. After her retirement, she will visit India again for medication and sight-seeing. She will then enjoy her life to the fullest, stress-free, happy and worth-living.</p>\n<p>It\'s heart-breaking and tear-jerking to see her leaving. She\'s a pillar to lean on, a true leader to follow. Soft-spoken, kind-hearted, positive thinker. She\'s a lady of few words, a woman of dignity and honor. She\'s never a boss. She\'s a sister and a true friend. Through her, I found a new family. She gave me a \"home\" when I had nowhere to go.</p>\n<p>Because of her, I got a job and she\'s the reason why I stay. No matter how hard the works were, all was lightened and carried because of her. Her smiles, her words were worth-remembering and she\'s a very important person I can never forget for the rest of my life. She\'s a woman full of life.</p>\n<p>I don\'t worry anyhow. Although Ajarn Orasri is leaving, I will be left in the hands of three equally good and kind superiors, Pa Tata, Pi Noi and Pi Uwan who never get bored of assisting and supervising me.I wish I could offer more to improve the skills of my students.God help me.</p>\n<p>I have no idea how long I will stay in Thailand. Maybe a few more years then I will take another journey somewhere in this planet, to inspire, to give hope and maybe to leave a legacy in the hearts of the next generation,  not forgetting the fact that in every teacher\'s life, there is always the joy and pains of teaching.</p>\n<p><strong>Jocelyn Guzman</strong></p>\n<p><strong><img height=\"625\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/jocelyn.jpg\" width=\"417\" /></strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/jocelyn3.jpg','2014-10-08 19:57:29',1,'2014-10-08 19:57:29','2014-10-09 10:10:30'),(23989,20,'What can be learnt from the Koh Tao Murders?','what-can-be-learnt-from-the-koh-tao-murders','What are Thailand\'s real dangers?','The tragic deaths of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller on Koh Tao last month made headlines across the world.

It led newspapers and tourists to wonder - \'How could these brutal murders take place on an idyllic island in the Land of Smiles?\'The answer to this question requires consideration of Thailand\'s less pleasant realties.</p>\n<h3>Thailand is dangerous</h3>\n<p>The reality of life in Thailand is far removed from the idyllic picture-perfect images the TAT promote across the world. Yes, Thai people are friendly and good-natured but Thai society does have a dark, sinister side. This can be seen in rival college violence, motorcycle gang culture, road rage confrontations, tourist scams, drunken assaults and the acts of jilted lovers. Watch the morning news on Thai TV and you\'ll see enough to shatter the TAT\'s marketing images.</p>\n<p>Guns are another big issue in Thailand. Gun ownerships in Thailand is the highest in Asia with only Pakistan even close to competing for top spot. Not only are there a lot of guns in the country, they are also regularly used for crime and violence. According to a UN report in 2011, gun crime in Thailand is on par with that in South Africa and Colombia !</p>\n<p>And it\'s not just violence and guns - Thailand\'s roads are perilously dangerous, the Kingdom\'s danger rating recently overtook Iran and now only Namibia stands in the way of Thailand\'s roads being crowned the most dangerous in the world !</p>\n<h3><strong>Thailand\'s police do things their way</strong></h3>\n<p>Any westerner following the Thai Police\'s handling of this high profile murder case will be shocked about the procedures employed by the boys in brown.</p>\n<p>Think \'Bones\', \'CSI\', \'NCIS\' and then turn everything on its head - open crime scene for tourists and the media to wander through, leaked evidence, conflicting information, witness bribes and safe-house integrations.</p>\n<p>For an high profile example of how the Thai Police do things &lsquo;their way\', just take a look at the murder case of Shelly Ann Duncan, a young Thai-American who was brutually murdered in the late eighties.</p>\n<p>The Thai police do things their way, it\'s as simple as that. Furthermore, they don\'t show any signs of changing and why should they when they actually get praised for working in this manner. The Prime Minister was quick to congratulate the Boys in Brown for an outstanding job and said the officers involved would be rewarded.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/kohtao2.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Business done Kamnan style</h3>\n<p>Not a reference to Korean pop culture but rather the Thai term for the Village Headmen or Subdistrict Headman.&nbsp;Central government appointed Village Headmen towards the end of the 19th Century&nbsp;with the aim of these individuals implementing central government policies. However, these positions have more in common with feudalism than modern democracy. In recent times central government has tried to diminish the power of these headmen but with little success. Village Heads still very much run things, on their terms, in local communities.</p>\n<p>The Kamnan\'s family in Koh Tao was in the media on various occasions during the murder investigation; Hannah and David were last seen in a bar owned by the headman\'s family, the Burmese \'suspects\' both worked in businesses owned by the family and a friend of the victims, Sean McAnna, accused \'Island Mafia\' of threatening to kill him.</p>\n<h3>Migrant workers in Thailand</h3>\n<p>Burmese migrant workers in Thailand get a really rough ride. The sooner the political and economic situation in their home country improves the better, so they no longer need to endure such demeaning treatment.<br />It\'s estimated 5,000 Burmese nationals work on Koh Tao, with up to 2,000 of these working illegally but paying monthly protection money. An NGO based in Thailand, the Myanmar Migrant Labour Association, reported that some of these workers were beaten during police integrations.</p>\n<p>A couple of days ago the Thai police confirmed that two slightly-built Burmese workers had confessed to murdering Hannah and David. Their confessions were taken in the absence of them having any legal representatives because, according to police, they didn\'t want any.</p>\n<h3>Thaivisa a forum for justice and civil rights !?!</h3>\n<p>Social media over the past week has been busy with heated discussion about these tragic murders and the apprehension of the \'perpetrators\'. Nowhere has this debate been more fervent than on Thaivisa.com. I usually find Thaivisa rather depressing with all its bickering and negativity but over the past few days it has been buzzing with debates on justice, transparency and civil rights. Keep it up !</p>\n<h3>A Modern Reality</h3>\n<p>Thailand is an amazing country to live and work in but it is far removed from the TAT\'s postcard images. The reality is that Thailand is a rapidly growing nation undergoing dramatic social, political and economic change. It\'s important that visitors to Thailand have a realistic understanding of this and not just the one dimensional image the TAT promotes in its endless pursuit of foreign currency.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/kohtao1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Daniel</strong><br />------------------</p>\n<p><strong>Koh Tao Murders</strong><br />http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/oct/03/burmese-men-arrested-murder-british-backpackers-thailand</p>\n<p>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/thailand/11145536/Thai-police-deny-cover-up-of-Britons-murders.html</p>\n<p>http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/crime/435888/koh-tao-torture-alleged</p>\n<p>http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/forum/18-thailand-news/</p>\n<p><strong>Thailand\'s Roads</strong><br />http://asiancorrespondent.com/119892/study-thailand-roads-2nd-most-dangerous-in-the-world/</p>\n<p><strong>Gun Ownership in Thailand</strong><br />http://www.stasiareport.com/the-big-story/asia-report/thailand/story/thailand-gun-laws-strict-ownership-high-20130808</p>\n<p>http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country</p>\n<p><strong>Shelly Ann Duncan</strong><br />http://www.nationmultimedia.com/home/THE-MURDER-OF-SHERRY-ANN-DUNCAN-A-travesty-of-just-86893.html</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2014-10-08 20:33:09',1,'2014-10-08 20:33:09','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(23995,59,'How to stifle student confidence','how-to-stifle-student-confidence','Confidence is key when students want to improve their English ','Once confidence is acquired, the student makes remarkable self-perception and strives further to succeed. Therefore, instead of killing this important trait, let\'s develop it among our students.','<p>One of the invaluable traits that our students in Nonthaburi, Thailand  have acquired from us, foreign teachers, which can\'t  be measured by pen and paper test is  confidence. Compared to the time when we first taught English in this province eight years ago, our Thai students nowadays  are no longer afraid to stay around us, or talk to any of their foreign teachers. They can already crack jokes to their English teachers   in broken English and tell them about anything they would like to share.</p>\n<p>Student confidence, next to motivation, is a prime mover in learning. It is the insatiable longing for more learning, an unstoppable desire as if things are easy to acquire and learn.  A student who has confidence   excels in his/her studies and can attain tremendous achievements. Sometimes he/she commits mistakes but these do not stop them from pursuing what they want. Their confidence   flows like water from a spring.</p>\n<p>At a certain point some teachers   kill students\'   self-confidence when they teach English by:</p>\n<p>1.	emphasizing more on  form rather than content.  So what happens, when oral communication comes, students are tongue tied and inhibited to speak because they are afraid of making mistakes?</p>\n<p>2.	 setting   very high expectations from students such that when students fail they get discouraged.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>3.	correcting  students  a lot thus  students feel belittled, making them more nervous. And  they   make more blunders</p>\n<p>4.	giving  too much   criticism. <br /> <br />\"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.\"   <br /> - Ansel Adams</p>\n<p>One student in my grade 2 class was   not so good in many ways; not good in reading, not good in writing, and not good in speaking.  Being worried about his nature since he was in Kindergarten 2, last term I finally thought of a way to give him confidence. During class recitation and language games I would pair him with his equal or with someone slower than him.  Naturally, he would win. Because of this, his confidence improved little by little.</p>\n<p>One time, he was incidentally paired with the best student in class. Would you believe that he beat that good student? I praised him for that and his classmates did too. This trivial but significant victory changed him. It was a turning point in his life. In fact recently he volunteered to join the morning activity competition in giving the English translation of some greetings in Thai. He didn\'t win but he scored equally with 5 other better students.</p>\n<p>One time   I praised my Grade 6 student for answering a question no one could answer in class except him. I said, \"You deserve to be in Mathayom 2 (Grade 8).\" Because of that, my student was full of enthusiasm to answer all questions asked.  I usually say things like this to my students in prathom (elementary)  that they are 2 or 3 years ahead of their level and they feel great about it. Do you do this too?</p>\n<p>At times our students need an important experience to break that barrier of fear. Once this is surpassed    confidence will spring out and it will lead to one success after another.</p>\n<p>I knew a girl who once  joined  a singing competition in a mall. Contestants came from various places  of the city. In the competition she was very confident because her singing  gave her the  title, \" Best in Talent \"when she joined a kiddie beauty pageant. In  this competition she didn\'t win first prize? She was only second.  With her confidence,   she asked her Dad to join again. She was permitted to  join again .  She did not get the first prize but the remarkable thing here was she had the confidence.</p>\n<p>Sometimes it is neither the teacher\'s fault nor other people\'s fault, but also the student\'s  why confidence is lost. My friend\'s daughter at age  was 12 was a candidate for a national scholarship in art. She underwent the screening process. One of this was on-the-spot creation of an art piece out of the materials provided for them. Before the testing day, she had a lot of preparation in enhancing her skills like joining several art competitions which she easily won.</p>\n<p>That day, the father was able to have a peek at her work.

I have seen Phonics taught brilliantly at times and at other times not so well. If you are a phonics teacher then I hope this blog post is helpful as I guide you through the structure of a phonics lesson, how to make it fun and some of the common mistakes made by untrained teachers.</p>\n<h3>Firstly some common mistakes:</h3>\n<p>1) Knowing the letter sounds (Phonemes) - It is imperative that you know the letter sounds, and by this I don\'t just mean /a/ for apple, I mean all the diagraphs (th,ng,ch etc) and consonant clusters (bl, gl, st etc); all the alternative ways to represent vowel sounds and not forgetting the tricky words (sight words) that need to be memorised as they are not phonetically decodable. These words are taught in a very particular order dependent on a) their importance and b) the frequency that children use them.</p>\n<p>2) Pronouncing the sound correctly - A common mistake is to add vowel sounds to the end of the sound that you are focusing on, for example &lsquo;m\' as \"mer\" or &lsquo;h\' as a short &lsquo;her\'</p>\n<p>3) Teaching the sounds in the correct order (not alphabetically) - The whole point of phonics is to teach the letter sounds in order that they are most used. This can be found in the Letters and Sounds scheme; the Jolly Phonics program is not in order but you can find a copy of the songs reordered correctly here.</p>\n<p>4) Teaching too many sounds in a single lesson -trying to teach too many sounds in one go is problematic for beginners, especially if the sounds are similar or the letters formed in similar ways like &lsquo;b\' and &lsquo;d\'. More advanced learners can learn more than one spelling but keep the sound the same, e.g. ai, ay, eigh, a etc...</p>\n<h3>Structuring a lesson</h3>\n<p>There is a lot to teaching phonics and indeed the Letters and Sounds booklet is a bit daunting so lets keep it simple. Basically a child needs to recognize the sounds through speaking and then through seeing. Once they are confident with this they should be able to move on to writing by copying and repeating and finally to writing through listening.</p>\n<p>I tend to teach the recognition and reading on the first day and writing on the second with early learners but both skills with older or more advanced learners who will also be blending and segmenting too.  A basic lesson should be structured as follows:</p>\n<p>Revise and review: Spend a couple of minutes revising previous sounds</p>\n<p>Teach: Introduce a new sound</p>\n<p>Practise: Practise that sound, maybe mixed in with other sounds</p>\n<p>Apply: Make sure the children know the sound in context</p>\n<p>Assess: Check to see which children have remembered the sound and which will need another session.</p>\n<h3>Making phonics fun</h3>\n<p>Phonics can be taught in a variety of ways. Different games focus in on different skills and different levels but most can be adapted to meet the needs of your students.

I read too, of course. But it\'s not really work, is it? It\'s not a challenge.</p>\n<p>My Thai language skills are not good and I feel bad about that. I assuage the guilt by telling myself that I cohabited with an anglophone girlfriend for the first year and a half I lived in Bangkok. What could I do? When did I have an opportunity to speak it? I picked up \'Taxi Thai\' pretty much straight away, and soon learned how to tell the waitress I didn\'t like ice in my beer. And there my Thai stayed, static, like a Ptolemaic star.</p>\n<h3>A \'dead\' language?</h3>\n<p>So it was not without some hand-wringing that I decided to learn a language that has been described by some as \'dead\'.</p>\n<p>Why learn Latin? First of all, \'studies show that at least two years of Classical Latin augments one\'s English vocabulary by 20,000 words\'. Now I don\'t know about you guys, but adding an extra twenty thousand words to my vocabulary sounded pretty good.</p>\n<p>It seems obvious to mention the inevitable rewards of reading everything from Cicero and Horace to Aquinas and Spinoza in the original language. One professor of Latin writes that \'there is nothing in comparison to the world that opens up when you can sit down and read Livy and understand what you\'re reading. This is like growing wings, or being born into another existence.\'</p>\n<p>That sold me.</p>\n<h3>The Dowling method</h3>\n<p>The composer of that inspirational little quote is a Rutgers University professor who developed a method for studying the language he (rather modestly) named after himself: the Dowling Method. This is the system I am learning with and it involves three major stages.</p>\n<p>The first of these stages is familiarising yourself with some basic linguistic concepts. On his \'website\' this takes around ten minutes to read, or an hour to fully comprehend. A major new concept for native English speakers to digest is that Latin - unlike English - is an \'inflected\' language, meaning nouns (for example) change based on their purpose in a sentence.</p>\n<p>The second stage of the Dowling Method involves \'brute memorisation\' of noun declensions and a handful of other paradigms. How does one go about memorising them, exactly? By learning them by heart, just like in school, and then writing them from memory, hundreds of times. In all, Dowling estimates that this should take six months after which point the final, fun part begins.</p>\n<p>The third and last stage of Dowling\'s system for learning Latin is studying a reader called Lingua Latina, written by the late Danish linguist Hans Oerberg. Using this book \'the student, who requires no previous knowledge of Latin, begins with simple sentences, such as \"Rōma in Italiā est\" (Rome is in Italy). Words are always introduced in a context which reveals the meaning behind them.\'</p>\n<p>Remarkably for a language learner\'s book I\'ve found almost no negative commentary about it online. I have not yet reached this stage in the Method and am still in the memorisation phase, but I am excited about finally getting to read and think in Latin. Dowling believes that \'if you follow this method, you can learn to actually read Latin -- to read Latin sentences in the same way you\'re reading this one -- in about two years of daily work.\'</p>\n<h3>Method in my madness?</h3>\n<p>Why are you reading about this on Ajarn.com? Well, in talking to a Thai high school student of mine about upcoming SATs I asked what she expected to get on the verbal portion of the exam. I was told that anything over 400 would be considered respectable.</p>\n<p>Looking at average SAT verbal scores (by foreign language studied) throws up some interesting results. The cognitive advantages of knowing a second or third language are obvious and well-known. The average for an American student on the verbal section of the SAT is about 500 points but students who study Spanish score considerably higher, averaging around 560. Students who study French and German attain even more impressive scores. A budding francophone can expect to score 630 points on their SAT verbal. But those who study Latin fare even better, averaging a whopping 680 points. No other language does as well. Why is this?</p>\n<p>The classicist Victor Davis Hanson states that \'nothing so enriches the vocabulary, so instructs about English grammar and syntax, so creates a discipline of the mind, an elegance of expression, and serves as a gateway to the thinking and values of Western civilization as mastery of a page of Virgil or Livy\'.</p>\n<p>Looking at the figures I\'ve just presented it is hard to disagree with him. The process of memorisation I\'m currently undergoing was a near-universal experience in schools just sixty years ago. Why not today? Was our education system really so backward back then that we had to abandon Latin? Is it a sign of greater civilisational enlightenment that British students can today take A-Levels in subjects called \'General Studies\' and \'Critical Thinking\'?</p>\n<p>To this some might respond by asking why anyone should study a \'dead language\', but that would be missing the point on two scores. Firstly it ignores the aforementioned cognitive benefits of a grounding in the language. Secondly it attributes death to something that is immortal.</p>\n<p>Hanson reckons four years of high-school Latin would dramatically arrest the decline in American education. Could it do the same for Thai education? I realise the teaching of Latin in Thai schools is as unlikely as Cato the Elder suing for peace with the Carthaginians, but in a year or so when I feel proficient enough to teach the basics of the language I\'ll find myself some willing participants and report back with the results. Meanwhile, I have to get back to this fifth noun declension.</p>\n<p><strong>Derek Hopper</strong></p>\n<h3><strong>Follow me on Twitter @derekmhopper</strong></h3>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/derek2.jpg','2014-10-14 03:55:08',1,'2014-10-14 03:55:08','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24025,85,'Comparing Myanmar to Thailand','comparing-myanmar-to-thailand','What are the differences for an English teacher?','I\'ve only been here eight months and before this I was an ajarn in Thailand.

A little bit larger than Thailand, but with a few million people fewer than the LOS, Myanmar and Thailand are not only similar in many ways, but also have been connected by history and proximity for centuries.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, the two countries are connected by not only island murder mysteries, but also investment and millions of immigrants working as either laborers or in tourism jobs requiring decent English skills (the overall English-speaking abilities in this country are superior) in the more wealthy eastern neighbor.  In addition, more than a handful of NES teachers are moving west to contribute to one of the fastest growing economies in the world.</p>\n<p>Who knows?  You, an Ajarn.com reader, may be considering such a move yourself.  I\'ve only been here eight months, and before this, I was an ajarn in Thailand. I\'m at a point where I can still remember the place I left whilst also knowing enough about this new place so that I can create this list I share with you now:</p>\n<p><strong>TEN THINGS ABOUT TEACHING ENGLISH IN MYANMAR THAT DIFFER FROM THAILAND:</strong></p>\n<p>1.	Pay. I\'ll preface this by saying that there are exponentially fewer job opportunities in Myanmar than Thailand.  Government schools here do not hire NES teachers.  Only a couple of the big TEFL training center chains have outposts here in Myanmar, and even amongst them, they\'re only in the capital, Yangon. That said, the schools here pay pretty well.  When I came here, I\'d only had one year experience teaching in Thailand, and I increased my income by 175%. It\'s not that easy living here. Perhaps the good pay has to do with \'hazard pay\'.</p>\n<p>2.	The paperwork process working here is a lot easier.  There are no work permits required in Myanmar. It\'s a lot simpler, albeit you\'re always doing visa runs. You can\'t even get on a plane to Myanmar without having obtained a tourist visa or showing that you have the proper letters from your employer that they\'ll give you a job.  With such, you can get a business VOA for $50. It\'s only good for ten weeks, so every 70 days, it\'s on a plane back to BKK, KL or Singapore for your visa run and a weekend away. If you\'re considering working here, your potential employer should pay for this, but there\'s no Ministry of Labor to deal with, no degree requirements and no suspicious looks from the immigration officials.</p>\n<p>3.	At the moment, there are more political rights in Myanmar than in Thailand.  This formerly-known-as-Burma country is thought of in many circles as an oppressive, authoritarian regime. These days, things are moving towards greater freedom and democracy, even though there\'s still more to do. Thailand has been historically a lot more democratic, and the current regime is transitory, but at least there hasn\'t been a coup here since 1988.</p>\n<p>4.	Some Thai products are cheaper here than they are in Thailand.  Chang Beer comes to mind, but Thailand exports tons of products to Myanmar annually. A 16oz Chang at the local mini-mart costs 800 Kyats, roughly 26 Baht.</p>\n<p>5.	This is a cheap place to be an alcoholic.  Although the fine publishers here at Ajarn.com don\'t want to perpetuate the stereotype of the TEFL teacher as being a heavy drinker, but English teachers have been known to put away a drink or two. Maybe it\'s due to the Myanmar people really enjoying an adult beverage themselves, beer and booze are readily available and ridiculously inexpensive. A pint of draft beer at the ubiqutous road-side beer stations will put your back about $.60, ie, 19 Baht.  If you\'re into the harder stuff, a fifth of local whiskey or rum costs less than two US dollars. It\'s good place to drink yourself to death, if that\'s your thing.</p>\n<p>6.	Thai restaurants are the most common foreign cuisine eateries here, so if you really like Thai food, you can get it here everywhere. There are also lots of Chinese food joints, surprisingly few Indian joints (but more than Thailand) and the local cuisine is intriguing and delicious. Your choices of western food are more limited, but just today, things got better.  There are no McDonald\'s, Burger Kings or Subways here, but come 2015, the first KFC will open in Myanmar.</p>\n<p>7.	Myanmar students learn English more readily than Thai students.  There are a variety of reasons for this.  First off, the phonemes in their native language more closely resemble English. They have a \"TH\" sound.  They have a real \"L\" sound.  Albeit their language is tonal, it isn\'t as tonal as Thai.  Whereas the written language also does not use the Latin alphabet, but if there are any remnants of their English colonial history, it\'s a familiarity with English characters. In any case, I think that the ability for a nation as a whole to learn English somewhat depends on how different their native tongue is.  Thai is about as far away from English as you can get.</p>\n<p>8.	Myanmar is a lot more tolerant of individualism than is Thailand. You can see this after five minutes in Yangon.  Both young men and women have some pretty crazy hairstyles and colors and although traditional dress remains very conservative, there\'s a higher percentage of people here who feel free to express their creativity via their outward appearance.</p>\n<p>9.	The Myanmar language word for Thailand is \"Ayudya\".  250 years after the last big war between these two countries, remnants of that conflict remain.</p>\n<p>10.	Myanmar women are more beautiful.  Again, I don\'t want to pander to the negative stereotypes of the TEFL teacher, but it\'s still true and worth mentioning. For that matter, my female and gay colleagues have had no complaints about the men here either. But as for the women, they tend to be more voluptuous, specifically in the area of gluteus maximus.  They have butts.</p>\n<p>A couple of my acquaintances from the teacher community in Bangkok have already come here to Myanmar. If you want an authentic SE Asian experience like Thailand was 25 years ago, Myanmar is the place.</p>\n<p>I\'ll close with saying that despite all these nice differences I wrote about above, there are dozens more.  Yangon\'s public transportation  is hellish to non-existent.  Traffic here is even worse than Bangkok. The roads here are crap. Despite recent advancements, internet access is spotty and usually very slow. If you don\'t like being stared at, this isn\'t the place for you.  Foreigners are still a novelty here and you get treated like a celebrity wherever you go, with all the downsides that treatment entails.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-10-14 17:34:06',1,'2014-10-14 17:34:06','2014-10-15 07:07:08'),(24036,10,'Getting to grips with Twitter','getting-to-grips-with-twitter','My 18 months of trying to become a Twitter God','Wow!

I never envisaged writing about a topic I have never felt qualified enough to comment on - but having been active on Twitter for about eighteen months now, here are ten things that I\'ve learned (in no particular order) about one of the world\'s most popular social media platforms. I would love to hear your own thoughts and opinions as well.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Decide why you want to be a tweeter</h3>\n<p>I think this is such an important question to ask yourself. Do I want to use Twitter for marketing purposes and build up my brand name or drive traffic to my blog, website, etc - or am I just going to use Twitter for pleasure and for social interaction?</p>\n<p>I\'m going to be controversial from the start here - and I know many tweeters will disagree with me - but I don\'t actually think Twitter is that great as a marketing tool.</p>\n<p>I started off by using Twitter as a way to drive traffic to the ajarn.com website but I\'m still not sure if it\'s truly worked or not. I haven\'t noticed a significant difference in the daily traffic. Certainly not when you consider how much time I\'ve spent tweeting and weigh that time up against the &lsquo;reward\'. These things are always difficult to measure of course.</p>\n<p>Twitter may work for your particular business, but I\'ve found in my case that the vast majority of teachers that I\'ve reached out to - most of them I assume to be in the under-30 age bracket - either don\'t interact or simply don\'t want my help and advice. Perhaps it\'s a young person thing to want to go it alone and not seek the &lsquo;wisdom\' of old farts like me. Even on Twitter.</p>\n<p>Over time, I\'ve found myself changing from using Twitter as a business tool to using Twitter purely for social interaction. And I enjoy Twitter far more as a result. I\'ve made some great on-line friends and got some terrific advice from them.</p>\n<p>I chatted to a &lsquo;social media guru\' a few weeks back and we talked about Twitter and Facebook as marketing tools. During our conversation, he said &lsquo;nothing, absolutely nothing, will ever beat a good blog on your very own website\'</p>\n<p>I totally agree. We\'ve got articles and blogs on ajarn.com that were written five years ago and still get 200-300 readers a day. Show me a tweet or a Facebook entry that\'s five years old and getting 200-300 readers a day.</p>\n<h3>There is no cast-iron way to do things &lsquo;right\' on Twitter</h3>\n<p>In my valiant attempts to become a &lsquo;Twitter master\', I\'ve read countless internet articles written by so-called social media experts, and I\'ve come to one glorious conclusion - no one really knows all the answers on how to use Twitter the most effectively.</p>\n<p>If you read two or three articles that all recommend doing something a certain way, you\'ll then find two or three articles that disagree completely.</p>\n<p>A case in point is the eternal question - \"should I follow everyone on Twitter who follows me?\"</p>\n<p>You\'ve got plenty of experts saying \"yes you should, because it\'s the polite thing to do and you can learn something from everyone\" and you have an equal number of experts saying \"no you shouldn\'t because that\'s just ridiculous. Why would you follow someone whose tweets you are not interested in?\"</p>\n<p>So there you have it. When push comes to shove, we are often none the wiser. The more articles you read, the more confused you become.</p>\n<p>I\'m firmly with the second school of thought by the way. Don\'t follow a tweeter just because they follow you. More on that later.</p>\n<h3>Don\'t be a lazy tweeter</h3>\n<p>I like to think that I put a reasonable amount of effort into as many of my tweets as possible. That\'s possibly why I find lazy tweeters so annoying. Who do I consider to be &lsquo;lazy tweeters\'?</p>\n<p>a) Tweeters who post nothing but a link to some blog or article without explaining what the article will be about once I open it.</p>\n<p>b) Tweeters who do the Follow Friday thing and just tweet a list of user names (I want to know reasons why I should follow each one)</p>\n<p>c) Tweeters who tweet the time-honored legend \"I\'ve just posted 50 photos to Facebook\" and give you no clue about the subject matter. (I want to know beforehand if I\'m going to be looking at 50 photos of The Grand Canyon or 50 snaps of your kids dressed in Hallowe\'en outfits )</p>\n<p>d) Tweeters who constantly tweet the same old link to the same old blog time and time again.</p>\n<h3>Tweets look better with photos</h3>\n<p>I don\'t know why but they just do. I know that photos use up valuable characters but when I\'m scanning my timeline, it\'s always the tweets with photos that make me pause for that extra second. They are just more visually appealing.</p>\n<h3>Sometimes Twitter is like a game of tit for tat</h3>\n<p>The tit for tat game is a bit sad I think.</p>\n<p>You know how it works. You gain a new follower - perhaps a food company that makes Mexican stir-fry sauces somewhere in deepest Middle England and they\'ve got 10,000 followers! You have no idea why they\'ve followed you. You certainly have no interest in Mexican stir-fry sauces - not on a daily basis anyway. So you decide not to follow them back and that is a fair enough decision.</p>\n<p>Three or four days later, they unfollow you. And they unfollow you for one solitary reason - purely because you haven\'t followed them. It\'s a bit pathetic isn\'t it? but it brings me very nicely to....</p>\n<h3>Beware of the one-to-one ratio Tweeter</h3>\n<p>The &lsquo;one-to-one ratio tweeter\' is an expression I rather conjured up myself. It\'s the Twitter account that has 20,654 followers and follows 20,576 others - roughly a ratio of one-to-one - and hence the name.</p>\n<p>The one-to-one ratio tweeter is usually (but not always) interested in just one thing - follower numbers.</p>\n<p>I\'ve found from experience that these people rarely or never interact with you. They never retweet any of your brilliant content. They never ever make a comment or get involved. They\'re basically a waste of space.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, I\'m not tarring all one-to-one ratio tweeters with the same brush but the vast majority do seem to have zero interest in what you have to say. And frankly speaking they are best avoided if it\'s social interaction you crave.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/twitterblog.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Following celebrity accounts is another waste of time</h3>\n<p>Yes, I realize these people are busy and famous and don\'t have time for tittle-tattle with the likes of me but I can still live in hope.</p>\n<p>One of my very favourite musicians is Tracey Thorn, whose career as both a solo artist and as one half of the brilliant Everything But The Girl, I have followed since the early 1980\'s.</p>\n<p>And I follow Tracey Thorn on Twitter.</p>\n<p>I\'ve lost count of the number of tweets I\'ve sent to Tracey praising her new releases, commenting on her past successes and generally being just a nice and friendly loyal fan.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never had a single 140-character reply. Never a retweet. Not a sausage. Perhaps if I mentioned all the money I had spent on her vinyl records down the years, it might jolt her into action. I\'m only kidding Tracey. I still luv ya!</p>\n<p>Now I don\'t want to imply for a moment that all Twitter celebrities are a little bit &lsquo;up themselves\'. I\'ve had a couple of very nice tweets from Boy George I\'ll have you know.</p>\n<p>However, my most prized celebrity tweet came from up and coming actor, Macon Blair, who starred in 2013\'s utterly incredible \"Blue Ruin\'.</p>\n<p>When I tweeted Macon to tell him how amazing I thought he was in that movie, he responded immediately with &lsquo;thank you so much for your kind words Phil\'</p>\n<p>Forty-two characters was all it took to make my day. Are you listening Tracey?</p>\n<h3>I don\'t follow eggs. Sorry.</h3>\n<p>You know the Twitter profile bit where you post a nice picture of yourself or some suitably funny image and then you have the opportunity to summarize your existence in 140 characters? Well if you can\'t be bothered to make the effort to fill that in, then I can\'t be bothered to follow you I\'m afraid.</p>\n<p>And while we\'re on the topic of profiles - &lsquo;Retweets are not endorsements\' - what in God\'s name is that all about?</p>\n<h3>I spend a minute or two scanning a new follower\'s timeline</h3>\n<p>If someone follows me and they genuinely look like they might be worth following back (they\'re not an egg or one of the one-to-one ratio mob) then I will always spend a minute or two looking at the last 20-30 tweets on their timeline.</p>\n<p>I say 20-30 because I think you need to evaluate that many tweets to get a feel for what your new follower is about. And I think you owe them that much of your time because new followers are clearly interested in your content and they\'ve made the commitment to follow you.</p>\n<p>But as I said in one of my earlier points - I\'m not going to follow someone just because they follow me. I have to be genuinely interested in their content (or most of it)</p>\n<p>The decision of whether to follow someone back or not can be a tough call but if someone tweets on Thailand-related or teaching-related topics, then there\'s a fair chance I\'ll follow them back. Thailand and teaching are what I\'m most interested in after all.</p>\n<p>I love football, music and movies as well. If someone tweets about any of those three things, there\'s a good chance I\'ll follow them back - but not if that\'s ALL they tweet about. I like to read a variety of tweets but that\'s only my personal choice.</p>\n<p>However, if those last 20-30 tweets on someone\'s timeline are a mix of politics, baseball, deep-sea fishing and photos of sunsets, I won\'t follow back because I have zero interest in those things.</p>\n<p>If it\'s any consolation, I do sometimes feel bad about it because my new follower is probably the nicest guy in the world and it\'s going to be my loss. But such is the nature of Twitter I suppose.</p>\n<h3>Too many hashtags is a major turn-off</h3>\n<p>Most Twitter articles I\'ve read recommend no more than two hashtags and I think that advice is spot on. I do like the hashtag used at the end of a tweet to give it context but I loathe those tweets that are nothing but blue text because the tweeter has hash-tagged almost every single word. I\'m sure most other Twitter users feel the same.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I would like to dedicate this blog to Mr Carl Heaton of <a href=\"http://uxbangkok.com/\">Bangkok Web Services</a>.

There are many, many places I still have yet to go in Thailand (Chaing Rai, Samui, most of Issan to name a few), but after my wonderful trip to Phuket last year, I couldn\'t resist going back.</p>\n<p>Last year, I took an overnight bus to Phuket, which cost me just over 13 hours and 1,000 baht plus another 500 baht just to get from the bus station to the beach. This time, I said, \"[insert explicative here] it, I\'m flying.\" Wayyy good idea. Air Asia, even though they really anger me with all their fees (specifically, their inescapable \"payment\" fee... you have to pay to pay), ended up costing something like 1,500 baht from Bangkok and another 180 baht to catch a van at the airport to Patong Beach.</p>\n<p>Why didn\'t I do that last year? About 2 hours total travel time (including waiting in airports) versus 13 for only a few baht more... live and learn.</p>\n<p>Anyway, my last trip to Phuket, I completely avoided the party scene that is Patong Beach in lieu of traveling around via motorbike to a significant part of Thailand\'s largest island. There is no denying it in my eyes: although it obviously has its problems with dirtiness and crowding in some places just as any other beach destination, Phuket is staggeringly beautiful on the whole.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/samoct2014_1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>This trip, though, because I was meeting my cousin, I opted for a more stay-put holiday.</p>\n<p>Because I visited at the tail-end of the low season (high season starts around the first of November, at which point hotel and other prices often double), I got to witness a more laid-back version of Patong Beach and those surrounding-Karon, Kata, Rawai, Kamala, and Surin, to name a few.</p>\n<p>If you can be brave, renting a motorbike (usually 300 baht/day in Patong, a bit cheaper elsewhere) is definitely the way to go. The \"tuk tuk mafia\" is still in full swing, and I heard them ripping off tourists left and right. If you don\'t currently live in Thailand, 600 baht to go 800 meters may seem a good deal, but not to me.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/samoct2014_3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Riding around Phuket is quite lovely too, especially heading south along the beach roads towards Phromthem Cape, a quite touristy but lovely viewpoint. The roads are well-maintained, and there are plenty of scenic vistas for photo opportunities. To me, putt-putting around on a motorbike and just exploring is the best part of Phuket; there are so many little beaches and vistas to discover that it\'s hard to get bored.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/samoct2014_2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Last year\'s trip, I stayed in a nice little barebones bungalow not far from Kata Beach for 400 baht/night, perfect for just me (or a pair of backpackers). Kata has plenty of restaurants and whatnot, and I prefer its beach to Patong as it\'s more laid-back, but this year I stayed with my cousin in a 16th floor two bedroom suite overlooking the entire Patong Bay. This was in one of only two or three high rises in Patong, something I really like in comparison to other beach towns in Thailand.</p>\n<p>In low season, this beautiful pad complete with a balcony Jacuzzi was only 125 USD per night, something that doubles as of November. That\'s honestly not a bad price considering the location and view; I used to be a manager with Hilton in the States, and we had tiny rooms far more than that in the middle of nowhere with no view.</p>\n<p>Vibe-wise, Patong is probably the closest to Pattaya you\'re going to get on the island, with the infamous Bangla Walking Street closing off each evening to bars, bars, and more bars. That said, with the exception of amusingly insistent \"ping pong show misterrrr\" salesmen, Patong is probably a tenth the party craziness overall of Pattaya.</p>\n<p>Whereas Pattaya has nightlife throughout the entire area, it is largely confined to a few areas in Patong and indeed most of Phuket.</p>\n<p>What surprised me most is the cleanliness of Patong Beach, at least compared to other closer-to-Bangkok destinations. I won\'t say it was a Caribbean postcard, but considering the volume of daily visitors, and owing a lot to the recent removal of the multitudes of beach for-hire chairs (unlike my brief Patong visit last year), it\'s quite a lovely place to hang out.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind this is still the low season, but I didn\'t have to suffer nearly as many people trying to sell me things, nor were there an abundance of boats and jetskis as there are at other Thai beaches I\'ve visited.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/samoct2014_4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>All good things must end, though, and before heading back to Bangkok I stopped a night in Nakhon Si Thammarat to visit my lovely lady\'s family. Nothing like a six-hour psycho van ride after a week in paradise... not forgetting that the tuk-tuk taxi just from Patong to the bus station cost 400 baht for 20 minutes versus 350 baht all the way to Nakhon...</p>\n<p>Nakhon is a pretty little area, quite rural outside of the town itself. There is absolutely nothing to do for someone who has just come from Phuket, although there are some pretty waterfalls and mountains to visit in the area if you have the time, and the coast isn\'t too far away.</p>\n<p>All in all, I am jealous of all of you expats living the high life in Phuket. If I could find a way to afford it, I would. You really have most things you can get in Bangkok: shopping malls, access to Western food/goods [actually sometimes better than Bangkok], etc.</p>\n<p>There are beautiful beaches, marinas, rivers, mountains, temples, and wildlife galore to see and enjoy. I would say Phuket has a little bit of everything for people of all tastes. Sure, it has its pitfalls, and it may be a bit more expensive than Bangkok, but to me... Phuket is worth every penny.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

And that\'s what I\'m doing now, writing semi-seriously about some minor issues on a train in a developing country.','<p>Paul Theroux, the great travel writer, once opened one of his books with the line \"Ever since childhood, when I lived within earshot of the Boston and Maine, I have seldom heard a train go by and not wished I was on it.\" That quite neatly sums up my feelings about travelling by rail. I grew up a little too far away from tracks to hear any locomotives but, despite this lack of childhood nostalgia rose-tinting my judgement, I still find myself enamoured. Clearly I am not alone.</p>\n<h3>Train travel ticks every box</h3>\n<p>Trains have obvious advantages over other forms of transport. If you book the correct class you can conceivably have a decent night\'s sleep on a train. This is impossible in a car, astronomically expensive on a plane, and difficult on a bus. You can stretch your legs with a stroll when riding the rails. Only on an aeroplane is this remotely feasible, and increasingly the instructions from airlines are that we should buckle up at all possible times.</p>\n<p>On a train nobody tells you to turn off your electronic device when taking off and landing, something I don\'t at all understand. (What is \'airplane mode\' on my iPad for if not that? Am I missing something?) Furthermore, as a slightly nervous flyer who needs a couple of beers before take off I frequently find myself desperate for the rest room by the time the \'seat belt off\' signs ding. I\'ve never had this problem on a train.</p>\n<p>All this in mind I decided to travel from Koh Samui last week not by plane (which is inexplicably extortionate) but by train.</p>\n<p>Anyone who has been to Samui will be familiar with its cartel of \'taxi meter\' cabs that erm, never use the meter. These guys live an unbelievably charmed existence when compared with their infinitely harder-working counterparts in Bangkok. I tried explaining to one that 400 baht for a fifteen minute trip on Samui would probably get me two or three hours in Bangkok gridlock but monopoly breeds complacency, and Chaweng cabbies would often rather swat flies lounging on a hammock than take anything under a thousand baht for a jaunt to the airport. The authorities either need to allow more taxis onto the island or penalise those who refuse to turn on their meters (ie all of them), because it really leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.</p>\n<p>So I took my expensive cab ride, and then a ferry to Don Sak, and then a ninety minute bus to Surat Thani, and finally a forty minute tuk tuk to Surat Thani train station. I never did find out why Surat Thani train station is forty minutes outside Surat Thani, but I digress.</p>\n<h3>The middle of nowhere?</h3>\n<p>Surat Thani is the kind of train station you\'d imagine if you had never visited the developing world and were asked to describe what you think one would look like. It\'s poorly lit. It\'s old. There are people who aren\'t necessarily travelling anywhere watching television on the platform for some reason. Locals with enormous boxes of utterly ordinary stuff snooze in the heat before travelling with their cargo to some faraway dusty corner of the country. There are rats on the rails, and moody looking western backpackers reading paperbacks, and at the far reaches of the platform a person sleeping soundly in a blanket, oblivious to the sarama (or Muay Thai music) issuing from the aforementioned, turned-up-to-eleven TV.</p>\n<p>Tickets for first and second class sleepers were sold out meaning my girlfriend and I had to travel second class non-sleeper. After explaining our romantic situation to two officials (seriously), we paid 604 baht each; pretty good value for an overnight train. But there were a few problems the State Railway of Thailand need to address.</p>\n<p>Firstly, the train was due to leave at 8:41pm. It got going after 10pm. The doors were open all this time, so inevitably half of Surat Thani\'s mosquito population - hearing tales about a farang whose blood tastes like Chateau Lafite \'86 - made a dash for my carriage.</p>\n<h3>A special ecosystem</h3>\n<p>During this stewing period I couldn\'t help noticing that Thailand\'s rail system is like a special ecosystem for small cockroaches. I\'ve never seen them anywhere except whenever I take an overnighter so I can only assume that these trains have evolved a new species, one that enjoys collecting crumbs from pandan buns and other Thai culinary oddities. These little critters will be in your first class cabin, too. They don\'t just slum it with the rest of us. I\'m not sure why it should be so hard to sort this issue out. I mean, we put men on the moon and send satellites to Mars. Would eradicating bugs from a few trains really be so difficult?</p>\n<p>The toilet on the train was unspeakable. The floor was blackened and rusted and stained yellow, with what I couldn\'t bring myself to think about. There were cockroaches on the walls. The whole room (box might be more accurate) was made of deteriorating metal and I could practically feel it pulsate with years of bacteria and neglect.</p>\n<h3>Monopolies breed contempt</h3>\n<p>Yet poverty doesn\'t create filth. No, it was clear that the SRT\'s workers just don\'t care. I\'m not implying they were rude, on the contrary, they were very polite. But a consequence of monopoly is that workers automatically do the least possible amount of work because they know they\'re unsackable. Moreover, SRT themselves know they won\'t lose customers. For vast swathes of the Thai population the train is their only option. The train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai could swim in mildew and E. coli and some people would still have to take it. The monopoly knows this, and a comfortable lethargy has set in.</p>\n<p>What is up with air conditioning on Thai trains? By the time 2 or 3am rolls around the carriage feels like Greenland in a cold snap. They give you these blankets - which are very welcome, by the way - that are such a length that you can either cover your feet or your shoulders, but not both. This was hugely frustrating, but even as I slipped into a hypothermic delirium I could see the funny side. A real first world problem.</p>\n<p>My chair was broken. Every time I sat back it would slide out from under me. My girlfriend\'s chair was broken. Her drinks tray was also broken and if the woman sitting in front budged it would fall down and whack my girlfriend\'s knees. I suspect the woman in front thought we were trying to annoy her but we were too exasperated to try to explain what was going on.</p>\n<h3>The journey\'s end</h3>\n<p>By the time we rolled into Hualamphong Station (a wonderful station, for the record) two hours late we were so happy that we kind of forgot about the sleepless night and just laughed about it. And that\'s what I\'m doing now, writing semi-seriously about some minor issues on a train in a developing country.</p>\n<p>But when the chuckles die down I\'m still left with the conviction that Thailand really needs to do something about its railways.</p>\n<p><strong><strong>Derek Hopper</strong></strong></p>\n<h3><strong>Follow me on Twitter @derekmhopper</strong></h3>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/derek2.jpg','2014-10-27 06:22:46',1,'2014-10-27 06:22:46','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24064,52,'November 2014','november-2014','All the latest news and special offers, etc from TEFL courses in Thailand','We\'re rapidly approaching the end of the year and if you are looking to take a teacher training course in 2015, then our monthly TEFL course news blog is a great place to start.','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thaistudents2.jpg\" style=\"color: #545454; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<hr style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/SEE.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" /><strong><strong>SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong></strong></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai has been teaching a full-time 120-hour course for over eight years and can boast over 700 graduates.

Don\'t leave home without them.','There are now quite a number of books written to help foreigners settle into life in Thailand and claiming that within these pages is everything you need to know. Actually that might not be just an idle boast for these two recent additions to the bookshelves.','<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/books.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Becoming an Expat in Thailand by Laura Gibbs</h3>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\'Becoming an Expat in Thailand covers everything a potential expat (or some that are already here) needs to know - from what to bring, how to ship your car / dog/cat (or why not to), moving with families and even visas and how to get a job here!</p>\n<p>This book is actually part of a \'becoming an expat\' series. Other editions focus on places like Ecuador and Costa Rica with Brazil and Mexico in the publishing pipeline, but this is the first time I had seen or flicked through the Thailand edition.</p>\n<p>The problem I have with many Thailand guidebooks is that they spend far too much time and too many pages rambling on about history and politics. And this is what I enjoyed most about Laura\'s book. Very early on, she says \"I\'m not going to bore you with the Thai political situation\" and true to her word, she devotes a paragraph or two to the topic but gets quickly to the nitty gritty - content that the majority of readers are most interested in.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If you are thinking of moving to Thailand, the chapters are presented in a clear logical order beginning with what you should and shouldn\'t bring along with the best ways to prepare yourself for your life ahead. Once you\'ve arrived, you\'ll need to find apartments, find schools for the kids (if you have any) and learn some of the local lingo. All of these issues are covered of course.</p>\n<p>There\'s an extensive section on working in Thailand including the different types of jobs foreigners can do and brought right-up-to-date with the digital nomad age and also a section on working with Thais and what things to look out for in the workplace.</p>\n<p>Other sections include banking, retirement (for the older reader) and culture shock.</p>\n<p>To keep the book interesting and \'different\' to other Thailand guidebooks, Laura slips in the occasional anecdote or observation from people she\'s met in Thailand along the way and I assume while she was writing the book. It might be an English teacher commenting on the downsides of renting a cheap apartment or a computer programmer talking about his love for Thai streetfood, but Laura has at least attempted to cram as many real-life opinions into the book as possible. And of course they are the opinions of those on the frontline.</p>\n<p>A very enjoyable, some might say more \'light-hearted\' read that manages to stand out in the crowded \'expat moving to Thailand\' book market. <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1938216083/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1938216083&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=coffeecultu0a-20&amp;linkId=ZOSVTTGELYN2IDNR\">Available on Amazon</a>. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Teaching in Thailand: A Practical System (Davis Pisarich)</h3>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Davis, the book\'s author, makes a very bold claim early on - \"no one has ever written a book like this on the topic of teaching in Thailand\" I was immediately skeptical but having read the book cover to cover and thoroughly enjoyed it, I confess that he could be right. Here\'s a teacher with at least seven years experience of teaching in Thailand, who has found himself in many different situations at both government and private language schools.</p>\n<p>This is someone writing about teaching in Thailand as it is at this very moment.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The book begins with a useful section on preparing yourself for life as a teacher in Thailand. There is plenty of good advice there including the fact that you should never set up a job before you arrive in Thailand. Then it moves on to choosing the right kind of school to work at. What are the upsides of working at a private language school? What are the downsides of being at a large government school?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then there is the task of applying for a job. David is on hand to give you resume tips and what about those all-important interview questions you should be asking?</p>\n<p>Once you\'re on the job, what are Thai students like? What about the foreign colleagues you are going to work alongside and what problems are you probably going to face with Thai admin staff and school owners? David pulls no punches. Anyone reading this book is going to be well-prepared even before they\'ve set foot in a classroom.</p>\n<p>I would say every important and essential aspect of teaching in Thailand is covered in this book. There are sections on classroom management, the best cities to look for work, writing tests and exams, choosing activities, using technology in the classroom and lesson planning.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This is the book I would have loved when I first began my career as a TEFLer in Thailand. It\'s sure to be a very wise investment for any newbie.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Teaching-In-Thailand-Practical-System-ebook/dp/B00NRLM8IG\">Available on Amazon</a></p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_street/books.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/botm.gif','2014-11-05 03:03:47',1,'2014-11-05 03:03:47','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24070,87,'Are you a social butterfly travelling alone?','are-you-a-social-butterfly-travelling-alone','Embrace the opportunities that solo travel presents','Some people are completely happy with their own company, so doing things alone isn\'t even a worthy topic of conversation for them.

I aspire to be one of those people. But right now, I\'m someone who enjoys the company of others - especially while traveling.</p>\n<p>I\'m currently living in a new place, far away from my friends and family, and every day I come across something interesting, odd, or new and want to turn to the person next to me and say \"look at that!\" Then I realize that I\'m walking alone, or the person next to me speaks zero English and is just trying to get on with their day.</p>\n<p>Solo travel can be tough for those of us who are used to  having friends along for the ride. So, if you\'re someone who thrives on the energy of other people, here are some tips to help make your solo travel a little less solo while you learn how to enjoy your own company.</p>\n<h3>Join a tour group!</h3>\n<p>I love this idea because it\'s a nice mix of solo and social travel. Unless you are joining a tour group with some of your own friends, you\'ll be traveling to a new place alone, and getting to hang out with strangers. I think the stereotypical tour groups are boring and expensive, keeping you from seeing the \"real\" parts of a country and only focusing on \"tourist attractions.\"</p>\n<p>This is where good research comes into play. <a href=\"http://www.wanderingearl.com/announcing-wandering-earl-tours-2015/\">I personally love the ideas and layout of the tours led by Wandering Earl</a>. He\'s a self-professed nomad who truly values immersive and authentic travel, and has an open respect for the customs and people of the countries he wanders through. It\'s clear that he has a genuine desire to learn and teach about these places.</p>\n<p>These qualities, coupled with the super reasonable prices, make it possible for me to recommend his tours. Check out the website and plan your next adventure!</p>\n<h3>Volunteer (or get a paying job) while traveling.</h3>\n<p>This is what I opted for this time around, and there are some benefits along with drawbacks. Whether you are volunteering or working for money, you\'re most likely to get very immersed in the culture  of the new place very quickly. Within two weeks of moving to Thailand, I learned how to get to other parts of the country using the transpiration that locals use, and figured out which street vendors are charging me too much money for lousy food, and which are the gems.</p>\n<p>Little things like this are easy to learn when you settle into a routine in a new place, and start getting to know locals who work with you. Another  thing about working while travelling is that it brings you into contact with other travelers who are also working their way through a trip or a change of life. In a month of living and working here, I have met people from almost every continent. Talk about a learning experience!</p>\n<p>Of course, this option also means you have to be disciplined about time. If you\'ve made a commitment to an employer or an organization/mission, you can\'t just flake out because you want to explore the next town, or want to sleep away a hangover.</p>\n<h3>Use social media to help you feel connected to your family and friends.</h3>\n<p>I don\'t care what any hipster travel snob says, there\'s nothing wrong with choosing a caf&eacute; for the free Wi-Fi so you can Facebook/Instagram/FaceTime/whatever with your friends and family. Do whatever helps you stay connected, because forgetting the people you love just because you\'re out seeing the world doesn\'t make you a \"true\" traveler, it makes you a shitty person.</p>\n<p>Share your experiences with people back home, and pay attention to their lives.</p>\n<h3>Embrace your solo travel</h3>\n<p>View solo travel as an opportunity to see more of the world, and really get to know yourself. Find out about all of the spots you\'d like to explore, and go confidently alone! I would recommend having some sort of a game plan for your day, because I have found that sometimes I lose track of the exploring and end up spending an entire afternoon at a caf&eacute;. Nothing wrong with that, but having a plan for the day helps me get more done and get to know the area.</p>\n<p>Traveling alone will help you get to know yourself in ways you never thought possible. You\'ll gain confidence in being alone, and you\'ll soon find that just because someone else didn\'t share an experience with you doesn\'t mean it wasn\'t real. Get out there, and remember that being lonely has nothing to do with being alone.</p>\n<p>Want to read more of my stuff? <a href=\"http://allyouseeislights.com/\">Check out my personal blog site</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-11-06 06:14:28',1,'2014-11-06 06:14:28','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24072,86,'Keeping your job application out of the bin','keeping-your-job-application-out-of-the-bin','How to stand out from the job application crowd','Applying for jobs is always tedious and can take up copious amounts of time especially if you are tailoring each application for specific positions.

','<p>Applying for jobs is always tedious and can take up copious amounts of time especially if you are tailoring each application for specific positions. I can\'t speak for all employers but for anyone applying for jobs I can offer advice based around what I look for when filling any position. Some of the points may seem obvious to most of us, but you would be surprised by some of the applications that get sent in. Getting the basics right is absolutely essential in order to land your ideal position.</p>\n<p><strong>Use a standard photo </strong></p>\n<p>I have seen many bizarre photos on job applications; from people in rugby scrums claiming \"I\'m the one with the spotty socks\", to people in pharmacies with sanitary pads sitting on shelves behind them. Your photo is the first thing a potential employer will look at so make sure it sets the right impression.</p>\n<p><strong>Use a standard email</strong></p>\n<p>fluffybunny@hotmail.com is not really giving the right impression. Employers want employees to be thorough so if you don\'t even change your email when you apply, don\'t expect a call. If you just didn\'t think it would matter, then that is probably worse.</p>\n<p><strong>Be realistic</strong></p>\n<p>Writing cover letters and tailoring applications takes time. We all want that dream job, but be realistic about which jobs are suitable. An employer has hundreds and sometimes thousands of applications per position to get through, so unless you have the skills and experience necessary on your CV, they won\'t even get onto your cover letter. If it is a position that you really want and you think your skills are relevant, that is the time to be thorough.</p>\n<p><strong>Do your research</strong></p>\n<p>When tailoring your letter, take time to research the company that you are applying for and tailor your application accordingly. Find out about the history of the company and how you could link skills and experiences. Find out who you are writing the application to and use their name. If the information is difficult to find it doesn\'t hurt to call up, introduce yourself and ask who to address the application to.</p>\n<p><strong>Check spelling and grammar</strong></p>\n<p>This doesn\'t need much explanation. One typo won\'t cost you a job but if there are more typos than a Year 6 student\'s homework, your potential employer is not likely to take you seriously.</p>\n<p><strong>Keep everything short and sweet</strong></p>\n<p>We do not need to know what qualifications you earned when you were sixteen or about that football trophy you earned as a child. All information should be relevant and job related. Keep your application and letter to one page each. Remember that you want to stand out amongst the hundreds of other applicants and that small relevant letters are much easier to read.</p>\n<p><strong>Make sure you attach files</strong></p>\n<p>Spending hours and hours writing out the perfect application can be painstaking, so don\'t mess it up at the last hurdle. Check that you have attached the correct files, they are named appropriately and they are all correct.</p>\n<p><strong>Try to stand out</strong></p>\n<p>This is never easy but if you get it right, it can mean everything to your application.</p>\n<p>Set up a personal website with an online portfolio, showing examples of your work, or even make an electronic portfolio to send to your potential employer. I can guarantee people will look out of curiosity more than anything else. It is something different and for an employer an escape from all those boring letters.</p>\n<p>Be creative and show off your skills in your application. Our current Art teacher stood out by making a colourful portfolio, that not only showcased her art skills but also her effort and professionalism. Without even looking at her cover letter we could make a decision and she got an interview.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>David Walters</strong></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">Head of British Early Years Centre</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-11-11 07:04:41',1,'2014-11-11 07:04:41','2014-11-11 21:09:42'),(24077,57,'Are we living in groundhog day?','are-we-living-in-groundhog-day','And can you take advantage of it?','If the 20th century belonged to Europe and the USA, then perhaps the 21st century can belong to SE Asia and cities like Bangkok, can perform as well as cities like London, Paris and Frankfurt.','<p>I\'m sure most readers of this blog have seen the 1993 comedy classic &lsquo;Groundhog Day\' starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. Just in case you haven\'t and you were planning on curling up next to your favourite lady or lady-boy on the couch and watching it this evening, then here is a spoiler alert!</p>\n<p>Bill Murray finds himself caught in an ever repetitive day where the exact same things happen at the exact same time day after day after day! This frustrates Bill\'s character initially, but about half-way through the movie he realizes that because he knows what will be coming next, he can take advantage of it, with some amusing results. Eventually though he realizes that to stop the repetition he has to do something completely different and get Andie MacDowell to fall in love with him, which he eventually achieves.</p>\n<p>Of course this is just an interesting and original little rom-com, but there are some very valuable lessons that can be learnt from it. At the end of the day, history often repeats itself. As President Harry Truman famously once said &lsquo;The only thing new in this world is the history you do not know.\' Fortunately the repetition is not as precise as that of Groundhog Day, however learning from the past is very possible. And like Bill Murray\'s character, some people can use this to their advantage.</p>\n<p>So how does this relate to real estate in Bangkok? Well more about that later, but first it\'s worth appreciating firstly that most of the time, most of the people do not learn from the past. In fact even very smart people can find it incredibly difficult to learn from even the very recent past.</p>\n<p>An example of this can be the Federal Reserve in America. Since the stock market crash of 2008 and the subsequent GFC the Federal Reserve or Fed as it is also known has pumped $4.5 trillion dollars into the economy by buying assets from banks such as mortgage-backed securities and treasury notes. It has done this in a series of 3 stages QE1 Nov 2008~Aug 2010, QE2 Nov 2010~Jun 2011 and QE3 Sept 2012~Oct 2014.</p>\n<p>This result of all this money pumping to stimulate the US economy, has been to increase the amount of US dollars in the world by a massive 400%. It has also given the US Government a massively increased national debt. Alan Greenspan the former Chairman of the Fed said in in July 2012 it had &lsquo;very little effect on the economy\'. What it has done however is massively inflated the stock market in the US and stimulated those in Western Europe indirectly.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Here is a perfect example of people not learning from the past and using it to their advantage. The first round of QE did not work in 2008~2010, so what was the answer? You guessed it, a second round of QE, which again failed to deliver, so what was the answer? Yes I\'m sure you got it...round 3 of QE! Eventually of course this will be found not to achieve the required results and there will be a fourth round of QE.</p>\n<p>As Einstein once said &lsquo;the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result\'. In Groundhog Day, even Bill Murray\'s character, a weather reporter figured this out and changed his tactics to achieve the results he wanted. It seems however others are less shrewd.</p>\n<p>The actions of the Fed resonate with those of the General\'s and Field Marshall\'s of World War One. And it seems fitting writing this blog on 11-November, Armistice Day in the year when we commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the start of the war to end all wars, to remember how the foolish decisions of a few can lead to the destruction of so many.</p>\n<p>Anyone who has also seen another comedy classic &lsquo;Black Adder goes Fourth\' will know exactly what I am talking about here, with the military tacticians on both sides of the conflict not only displaying zero imagination, but just like the Fed trying and trying the same tactics again and again and again expecting a different result. When of course all this led to was failure upon failure.</p>\n<p>The end of the war did not lead, as we know, to lasting peace and one of the main reasons for that was the debt repayment scheme imposed upon Germany, which led to hyper-inflation due to the over printing of money to finance an ever increasing debt. See anything familiar above?</p>\n<p>So now if you\'ve read this far, you\'re thinking &lsquo;What on earth has his got to do with Real Estate in Bangkok?\'. Well expats living in Thailand are lucky enough to in effect come from the future. In many ways, but not all, Bangkok in 2014 is a bit like a Western capitol 100 years ago.</p>\n<p>1.	Public infrastructure is in its infancy , the 3 lines of the BTS and MRT can be compared to the early stages of the Paris Metro and London Underground</p>\n<p>2.	The welfare system of Thailand is small and relatively rudimentary. Western Europe had the roots of a welfare system in the early part of the 20th century, but the not the large lumbering nanny states of today.</p>\n<p>3.	There are alliances and agreements in place in SE Asia, but not yet the multi-state unions like the EU.</p>\n<p>If the 20th century belonged to Europe and the USA, then perhaps the 21st century can belong to SE Asia and cities like Bangkok, can perform as well as cities like London, Paris and Frankfurt.</p>\n<p>For all the destruction and mistakes of the western powers in the 20th century, they did in fact grown incredibly rapidly and some people made huge gains.</p>\n<p>For example if you knew back in 1914 that a property bought in London city center would increase by over 3000% (yes three thousand) by 2014, would you have thought that was a good investment for you and your family? So why can\'t Bangkok real estate be as lucrative, or even more so, than London or New York?</p>\n<p>There are lessons to learnt from the past, but like Bill Murray\'s character discovered they don\'t all lead to misery. Mistakes can be avoided and knowledge can be used to your advantage.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Neil McDonough is a Director of EasyHomes Property Services Co., Ltd. which specializes in renting and selling Bangkok residential and commercial property to expats.

I have been privileged to know one  student who learned English  during his high school days from a public school under  the  Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project.  I did not hesitate to invite this young student to my English Club because he was a product of the project.</p>\n<p>This student was on vacation for 3 months so I didn\'t let the opportunity pass without inviting him. It was rather difficult for him to accept my invitation because my school was 70 kilometers away from where he lived. It would take four rides to come from his place to our school.   But because I am his mother\'s friend, and he was free, he agreed.</p>\n<p>I instructed him to talk to my 12 English Club members from grades 2-6 for an hour, share some information about himself, ask questions, and introduce   action songs to make his meeting with students fun .</p>\n<p>He came an hour earlier as scheduled for his dad drove him to my school. He had a chance to observe my grade 1 students and enjoyed it too. He met my club members. He introduced himself; his name, address, country, nationality, school, interests, and course. To check if my students understood him, he asked questions and my students were all able to recall his personal data.  In return, the students asked questions too.</p>\n<p>He introduced a game that whenever a pen passed stopped to a student at the end of a song, this student would answer a question. If the answer was correct the student would receive a prize. The students participated actively. At the end of the period, the club members wrote thank you notes to him.</p>\n<p>Young adult students have charisma. Students like them perhaps of their youth, energy, and looks. One thing more, students can identify themselves with their elder brother or sister. Anyway, my guest had a wonderful time. When asked if he liked to come back, he said, he would and perhaps would ask his younger brother to be with him.</p>\n<p>Similarly, when I was teaching in another government school in Park Kred, Nonthaburi we had frequent volunteers from International School of Bangkok ( ISB), and from  a college in England. The high school and college students had an afternoon or at times a day to teach. They had lessons, materials, and activities on different topics.</p>\n<p>Since they taught classes during my English time, I had the chance to observe my students\' behavior, attitude, and participation. They really liked learning from these young adults.</p>\n<p>So, the next time you have activities needing some resource persons in your grade school, tap young high school or college students. Your students will enjoy and learn more from them because they can easily relate with them.</p>','','2014-11-11 07:05:23',1,'2014-11-11 07:05:23','2014-11-11 21:09:24'),(24081,75,'Thailand teaching stuff - November 2014','thailand-teaching-stuff-november-2014','Another selection of links that will interest any teacher in Thailand','Wow!

This performance is a pretty big deal at our school, the city\'s theatre is hired for the week and each department needs to organise and prepare an entire performance. The departments are responsible for everything- story, script, actors, dancers, music, costumes, stagehands, sets, lights, props, tickets, programs and posters</p>\n<p>In the EP Department we apply a student-centered approach to this activity.

The students this year were great and it was really encouraging to see them working together in groups, sharing ideas and tackling problems as a team.</p>\n<p>Different students were involved in different areas - we had the younger students performing dance routines and older kids assisting with choreography - the upper primary students played the main roles - two wonderful young divas sung the hits songs from &lsquo;Annie\'  - Mathayom EP students designed and created the backgrounds, the sets and the props - a couple of Grade 6 boys controlled the music - a group of M4 girls directed the lighting - a fashion-conscious teacher prepared the costumes - some mums and older sisters took care of the makeup -  a couple of foreign teachers raised and lowered the curtains and sets - and a team of dedicated Thai teachers pacified parents and made sure all 150+ students were where they needed be.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/varee_nov2014_2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Of course it wasn\'t all plain sailing, in the weeks leading up to the big day it was often chaotic, there were disagreements, disputes and even some tears but it was the ability to overcome these difficulties, pull together as a team and get the job done that really made it a valuable learning experience.</p>\n<p>The shows over now and on Monday it will be back to the classroom, back to what\'s really important - grammar, vocabulary, punctuation, standards, indicators and assessments - after all that\'s the real business of education, right??</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Daniel</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/Daniel.jpg','2014-11-17 07:39:24',1,'2014-11-17 07:39:24','2014-11-17 21:09:25'),(24093,87,'So, you want to teach English in Thailand?','so-you-want-to-teach-english-in-thailand','First impressions of a novice','A couple of months into teaching at a school in Pattaya, I think I\'ve learned a thing or two about living and teaching in Thailand.','<p>A couple of months into teaching at a school in Pattaya, I think I\'ve learned a thing or two about living and teaching in Thailand. I know there are people who have been doing this for a lot longer than I, but what I\'ve learned from talking to those who have been a teacher here for a long time is that they\'re slightly jaded by experience.</p>\n<p>They\'re so used to the peculiarities of this life that they don\'t even see them as peculiarities anymore. In my humble opinion, while the sage advice of the old timer is necessary and important, so are the first impressions of a novice. <br />Here\'s what I\'ve learned so far:</p>\n<p>1.	Yes, Thailand is the land of smiles. But it\'s best if you know that not every smile is a happy smile, and not every smile is given freely. Don\'t mistake someone\'s smile to mean that they like you.</p>\n<h3>Friendships take time</h3>\n<p>2.	Most of the Thai teachers and administrators are used to westerners coming to Thailand to teach, and then leaving within a few weeks without notice. So, it can take them a long time for your colleagues to warm up to you. Being a new person in a new country, the last thing you want is for the locals at your workplace to be cold and inviting towards you, but that will happen. They want to see that you\'re going to stick around before they make an effort to get to know you.</p>\n<p>3.	The majority of the English teachers you\'re going to be working with aren\'t actual, trained teachers. They\'re given this job by virtue of being native speakers of the most desired language in the world, and having a four year degree in some field.</p>\n<h3>Don\'t wing it</h3>\n<p>4.	That doesn\'t mean that you should take teaching less seriously. Take the time it takes to prepare real, meaningful lessons, and pay attention to your students. It will be easy for you to get a job. Trust me, just apply and you\'ll be hired before you know it. But that doesn\'t mean you should treat the job as easily as it came. Keep in mind that in most situations, the parents of your students are scraping together their hard-earned money to put their child in your classroom. Take that as seriously as it is, and give those kids your best efforts.</p>\n<p>5.	You will come into contact with a lot of western pensioners (often old white men) who have moved to Thailand for the other \"perks\" and are just teaching because 1) It\'s an easy job to get, and 2) It affords them a chance to stay in the country. Do your best not to adopt their viewpoint of Thailand and Thai people. That being said, please don\'t cheat yourself of meeting some cool people because you imagine that they\'re too old. Get to know these people, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences.</p>\n<h3>Misleading job descriptions</h3>\n<p>6.	Most of the job postings will list that you\'ll be expected to work 24 hours a week. That\'s misleading, and should be labeled as \"24 hours of teaching.\" You\'ll work a full 40 hours, or more. The time when you\'re not teaching is spent in lesson planning and the other endless work that involves teaching. My days starts at 7:50, and ends at 4PM. The first part of the morning is spent at the gate, greeting your students as they arrive for the day. Then it\'s off to the flag ceremony, which marks the official start of the school day.</p>\n<p>From then, I teach nonstop until lunchtime, then get ready  to say goodbye to my students as they leave, often making myself available for questions from parents. Once the majority of the kids have left by 2PM, I\'m off to teach my extra class. This goes on until 4PM, when I can pack up my stuff and head back home. Because I don\'t have it in my budget to rent a motorbike or take a taxi, I\'m either hitching a ride with a friend, on the bus, or walking in the blistering afternoon heat. This is a typical day in my life as an English teacher in Thailand.</p>\n<p>7.	Learn as many Thai phrases as possible. Yes, the schools will hire you not knowing a single word of Thai because you\'ll offer the students the most immersive English education if you can\'t speak any Thai, but it\'s just not realistic to think you can live in a country and not make any effort to learn its language. The people will appreciate you for trying, and will be more than happy to help you learn as much as possible. Some of my favorite moments have been spent relaxing on the beach exchanging Thai and English words with a local. Very little conversation is happening, but we\'re two humans trying to understand each other. I find that to be a beautiful thing.</p>\n<p>8.	No matter how open-minded you think you are, open your mind even more. Believe me, this country will demand it of you.</p>\n<h3>Don\'t be a snitch</h3>\n<p>9.	Most of western culture promotes a type of comradery among workers, so \"telling\" on your colleagues is frowned upon at best. However, Thai teachers often report to the boss about someone else\'s bad behavior (or what they deem to be bad behavior), and it\'s seen as a good quality in a person. So, if you ever think about sneaking off for a break and imagine your Thai partner will keep your secret, you\'ve got another thing coming. Just remember that they\'re not only there to help the children and to facilitate learning, they\'re also there to spy on you and report back whatever needs to be told.</p>\n<p>10.	Lastly, remember that you are here to WORK, not to vacation. Don\'t treat your job like some summer vacation gig. This goes back to my earlier point about what most families are sacrificing to give their child an English education.</p>\n<p>But it\'s also just good policy for your fellow teachers and for the school where you work. If you don\'t show up to school because you don\'t feel like it, someone else will have to cover for your class. Take it seriously, and show up every day. Even if you hate the administration of your school (and believe me, I know how that feels), remember that your students are counting on you. Don\'t let them down.</p>\n<p>In the end, had I known then what I know now, I can\'t say that I\'d have taken this job right away. I came to Thailand not to work this hard for such little in return, but to travel around the country and experience the culture. If that is why you\'re considering teaching here, please give yourself at least a month to travel BEFORE you take a job or start a TEFL course.</p>\n<p>With the amount of work that the school will demand of you, there just isn\'t any time for traveling. I make the occasional weekend trip to Bangkok, but that\'s about it. I wish I had known what I know now, and put off my start until after I\'d gotten around the country a little bit.</p>\n<p>Other than that, Thailand is an amazing place full of some of the most interesting people I\'ve ever met. I was the most clueless typical tourist when I first got here, and the kindness of the Thai people around me is what has gotten me through a lot. It\'s a rich experience, and I hope you make it here soon.</p>\n<p><span>Want to read more of my stuff?&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://allyouseeislights.com/\">Check out my personal blog site</a><span>.</span></p>','','2014-11-20 07:06:01',1,'2014-11-20 07:06:01','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24095,80,'Never a happy medium','never-a-happy-medium','Bangkok strikes again when it comes to cutting down on commuting time','I started a new job in August, I absolutely love it - but I\'m in a dilemma.','<p>I started a new job in August, I absolutely love it - but I\'m in a dilemma.</p>\n<p>We live in the suburbs in a three-bedroom house in a quiet village but packed with lots of busy restaurants, bars and places to go. The house is detached with a garden full of fruit trees that backs on to a rice field. The most noise you will ever hear comes from the birds or the occasional over-zealous gardener.</p>\n<p>The daily commute into central Bangkok is over an hour and that means leaving at 6:10am. Five or ten minutes later and it\'s game over, I won\'t see work much before 7:45am. So we trek in, witnessing some interesting driving techniques as we go.</p>\n<p>If I can leave before 4pm then the journey home is less than 40 minutes but if I\'m late because of school business then it could take up to three hours. We have to drive because there is no BTS out this way and taking a taxi to the nearest airport link means by the time you\'ve done that, you may as well of driven the extra 5ks anyway.</p>\n<p>So we looked at some condos. Actually we looked at a lot. With agents, without agents. This search began in July 2014. We knew we would have to up the budget but that\'s ok because you get what you pay for, right? Um, nope. I have become the Bangkok real estate version of Goldilocks.</p>\n<p>Everything I have seen, is too old, too damp, too small, too cramped, too expensive.</p>\n<p>One place that was described as \'two bedrooms\' didn\'t even have a window in the second bedroom (and I thought London\'s rental market was bad!) The list goes on and when we did finally find somewhere we could potentially call home, the apartment owner casually dropped in the water bill was fixed, shockingly at 1000B per month and that wasn\'t all, the electricity price was three times the government rate. Even considering it caused alarm - what if he decided to increase the rate mid way through contract? There would be no recourse. So the search came to an abrupt end.</p>\n<p>There are other factors such as having a three year old who finds the travelling time and long day at school hard going, mid week, we often find ourselves asking why we are putting ourselves through this everyday when we can just move. But moving to something much smaller and higher in rent doesn\'t appeal especially at the weekend or in a school holiday.</p>\n<p>Bangkok strikes again. There is never a happy medium is there? It is always from one extreme to another. What do we sacrifice? A beautiful, affordable home for some extra sleep and less travel time? I\'m just not sure how to square this circle.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://about.me/juliaknight\">About me</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2014-11-24 04:19:49',1,'2014-11-24 04:19:49','2014-11-24 18:06:50'),(24096,10,'A long weekend in Chantaburi','a-long-weekend-in-chantaburi','A trip to one of Thailand\'s best kept secrets','About four months ago, I wrote a blog about my first ever visit to Chantaburi province but we were left with little time to explore the area, save for a small stretch of the coastline.

That was a staff weekend trip organised by my wife\'s company so we were pretty much confined to our beach resort accommodation for the duration. We only had time to explore a short stretch of Chantaburi\'s coastline. But we loved what we saw.</p>\n<p>I\'d never seen an area of Thailand so green, so well looked after and so free of litter. Chantaburi was a province that its locals were clearly proud of. We promised ourselves there and then that we would return on our own - just us, the car and the open road - at the very first opportunity.</p>\n<p>With the daytime temperatures cooling down by a few degrees, we decided on a long weekend in November. Let\'s do Chantaburi!</p>\n<h3>Digs</h3>\n<p>Most of the accommodation along Chantaburi\'s coastline and even inland, is of the Thai \'resort\' type. Often a purpose-built complex of rustic bungalows or basic hotel style rooms, resorts can be jam-packed at weekends and like ghost towns during the week. Thai weekenders will arrive en masse - often on a company coach outing - and check in on Friday nights or Saturday morning and then leave on Sunday afternoon. I\'ve stayed in a number of these Thai-style resorts - some offer good value for money; others can feel tired and neglected.</p>\n<p>My wife and I fancied doing things in a little more style this time and opted for three nights at probably one of the best hotels in the area -&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.jantraburee.com/\">the Jantraburee Boutique Hote</a>l. Sitting on the edge of a natural lake and a couple of kilometres from the popular Chao Lao beach, the hotel has everything you could ask for. The staff are well-trained and efficient. The in-house Moon Restaurant serves up some amazing seafood dishes (the \'pla sam rot\' was the best I\'d ever tasted) And who wouldn\'t want to wake up each morning to those stunning views of the lake and to perhaps take a stroll along the jetty in the early morning sun, before tucking into one of the hotel\'s hearty American breakfasts?</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>This of course is one of the big advantages of having a Thai partner. My wife spends hours trawling threads on Thailand travel forums (the ones written&nbsp;<em>by</em>&nbsp;Thais and&nbsp;<em>for</em>&nbsp;Thais) and there are numerous accommodation gems that your average foreigner never gets to hear about. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The hotel only has a dozen or so rooms but still offers several types of accommodation. We decided to sample the very basic room with lake view (1,850 baht per night including breakfast) and then for our third and final night, we opted for one of the rooftop suites (3,999 baht per night including breakfast) The suite turned out to be twice the money and ten times the quality! We fell in love with it the moment we walked through the door.</p>\n<p>You get a beautifully furnished bedroom on one level but climb the spiral staircase and you are standing on your very own rooftop terrace complete with hot tub and breakfast area. As part of the room package, the staff will serve breakfast on your private terrace at a pre-arranged time. All you have to do is butter your toast, sit back and take in the view. This is definitely how the other half live.</p>\n<p>I\'m not saying for a moment that The Jantraburee Hotel discourages foreigners from staying there (I wouldn\'t dare) but surprisingly, none of their website is in English and the hotel doesn\'t feature on any of the major hotel booking websites. Is this a little corner of paradise that the Thais want to keep for themselves? We eavesdropped on conversations going on around us in the restaurant and there was much talk of business trips to Japan and the hassles of applying for visas to holiday in Europe. The Jantraburee obviously attracted a loyal, middle-class Thai guest - and all couples with no children I noticed.</p>\n<h3>Chantaburi\'s old town</h3>\n<p>Top of our list of things to see and do in the province was Chantaburi old town - a 30-minute drive from our hotel and part of the main town itself. The old town is basically one street that runs alongside the river and consists of eclectic boutiques, handicraft shops, an excellent community museum and visitor\'s centre and numerous cafes and coffee shops. You can easily spend 2-3 hours meandering from one end of the street to the other and to use a well-worn travel cliche - it really is like taking a step back in time. Among the retail hubbub, there are still houses that you can glimpse inside and see families living just as they\'ve done for generations.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>However, what shocked and saddened me in equal measure was just how quiet the area was. Even on a Saturday afternoon, there were very few people about. In fact we returned to the old town on Sunday as well and it was even more peaceful. I\'d have thought this was the kind of \'tourist attraction\' that Thai weekenders would lap up in their droves, but clearly not the case.</p>\n<p>Chantaburi folk have a reputation of being some of the friendliest in the country. I wouldn\'t disagree. We chatted at length with several of the business owners on the street and they all bemoaned the fact that there seemed to be little business about. I noticed that several shops were closed and shuttered. If they can\'t make money at the weekend, what chance have they got the rest of the time?</p>\n<p>And that\'s why I implore you to go and see the old town while you have the chance. Could this be yet another example of an ambitious project destined for failure? I seriously wonder if the old town can last forever - certainly in its current format. But while the old town is alive and kicking (just about), let\'s focus on the positives.</p>\n<h3>Old town attractions</h3>\n<p>Most visitors to the old town&nbsp;<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Chanthaburi\">start at the Roman Catholic church</a>&nbsp;at the Eastern end.&nbsp;I\'m not a particularly religious man, but I do love strolling around beautiful churches and Chantaburi\'s Roman Catholic church - the largest in Thailand - is certainly beautiful. There are not that many man-made structures in Thailand with a real wow factor but I got just as big a buzz from standing and gazing up at that magnificent building as I got from standing in St Peter\'s Square. This was the Chantaburi wonder I had most come to see - and it didn\'t disappoint.</p>\n<p>After taking the usual photographs outside, we made our way to the side-entrance to see if we could have a look inside the church itself. A notice-board saying that people could not enter the church in shorts immediately put a damper on the afternoon. I expect that at a Thai temple, but a Roman Catholic church?</p>\n<p>It was then that The Lord took pity on me as I stood there looking rather downcast. A very friendly church curator, possibly a Filipino, made a beeline for me and told me I was more than welcome to come inside. My respectable knee-length khaki shorts had obviously passed the modesty test. The curator directed my wife towards a rummage-box of sarongs and once she had made herself decent, we walked around the inner sanctum. And it was truly magnificent. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov4.jpg\" />&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>A gem not to be missed</h3>\n<p>One of Chantaburi Province\'s main businesses is the trading of gemstones, and in Chantaburi Town most of the buying and selling activity goes on in an area just a short walk from the Catholic church. Don\'t miss it! One moment you\'re making your peace with God and the next minute, you feel like you\'ve stepped into The Wild West. The atmosphere is just electric. Buyers and sellers of all nationalities (Indian, Brazilian, European, you name it) are there trying to get the best prices on rubies and sapphires.</p>\n<p>The lucky traders get to sit in air-conditioned offices with day-lamps and state-of-the-art weighing equipment. But for most traders, their \'office\' is a trestle table on the footpath. Business on the street. This is what we\'d come to see. I couldn\'t get enough of it, possibly because I spent a couple of years in the gemstone business many moons ago and yes, the passion still burns.</p>\n<p>As I walked around the gemstone market, I noticed many traders eyeing me up with perhaps a degree of suspicion. Is he a buyer? What\'s he looking for? I\'ve got some lovely fake emeralds he might be interested in? And yet in thirty minutes, we were approached by just one solitary Thai gentleman who casually asked if we were interested in buying stones. I smiled and shook my head and he was gone. Perhaps we really did just look like tourists. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Plenty for foodies</h3>\n<p>One of the major plusses of walking around a tourist attraction in Thailand is that there is never a shortage of street-food, snacks and gooey desserts to cram inside your belly - and Chantaburi\'s old town has got foodies well covered. If you do the walk from the \'church end\' to the other end of the old town, you can reward yourself with a \'Rocket\' ice cream. Several vendors sell this traditional Thai ice-cream-on-a-stick that has been around for over half a century. 20 baht very well spent!</p>\n<p>But don\'t miss out on the opportunity to sample some of the fantastic bakeries and coffee shops along the way. One particular cafe -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/sweetatmoon\">Sweet @ Moon</a>&nbsp;- was doing a roaring trade on both days we were there. One glance at the menu and it was not difficult to see why. My wife opted for the chocolate lava cake with a dollop of ice cream and I went for a banana crepe smothered in chocolate sauce. Washed down with yoghurt smoothies, it was Heaven on a plate.</p>\n<p>To be honest, I could have sampled everything on the menu if I wasn\'t such a conscientious calorie-counter. Anyway, pick out your desserts, order at the counter, select a comfy seat next to the river - I can\'t think of a better way to spend an hour. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov3.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>What else to see?</h3>\n<p>I suppose I\'m very lucky to be married to a Thai travel enthusiast. If we take a holiday in Europe, the organisation and planning generally rests on my shoulders but for short breaks in Thailand, my wife is the one in the driving seat. Browse in any Thai bookshop and you\'ll see that Thais (or Thai language readers) have access to an incredible range of guide-books. Thoroughly researched, these guide-books will often focus on one particular area or province of Thailand and make all sorts of great travel recommendations - many of them well off the beaten track.</p>\n<p>My wife has a whole library of such reading material. So whenever we go away for a few days, I just settle into the passenger seat and leave the itinerary in her very capable hands.</p>\n<p>Here are four other places that we visited during our time in Chantaburi Province</p>\n<h3>Free aquarium</h3>\n<p>From the outside at least, <a href=\"http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g2098339-d2173643-Reviews-Kung_Kraben_Aquarium-Chanthaburi_Province.html\">the Kung Kraben Aquarium at Laem Sadet Beach</a> looks nothing special. It stands there rather like a faceless government office where you\'d go and get your work permit sorted, but step inside and you\'re up close and personal with a fantastic world of sea-life. Apart from the species of fish swimming around in tanks, there\'s the usual underwater tunnel that features in most aquariums of any note. But when you consider that there is no admission charge to walk around, you appreciate the displays even more. I gladly put a couple of hundred baht in the donation box on the way out and was pleased to see that most other visitors had done the same.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The aquarium is possibly the only thing to see in that area though. Laem Sadet beach is nowhere near as pretty as Chao Lao. There\'s a straggly line of food vendors and fruit sellers on the fringe between road and beach if you find yourself feeling peckish and also one of the most depressing OTOP shops I\'ve ever been in. There was more empty shelf space than goods for sale. Little wonder both of the shop assistants were fast asleep. We tip-toed once around the shop for fearing of waking them up before making a hasty exit. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>The chicken shit prison</h3>\n<p>We would never have found out about the \'chicken shit prison\' (Khuk Khi Kai) without one of those brilliant Thai guidebooks - and even with my sat nav playing a blinder, we still ended up asking a local for directions.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span><a href=\"http://www.laemsing.com/21_khuk_khi_kai_laemsing.html\">The Khuk Khi Kai, near Laem Sing beach</a>, was built to hold Thais who were against the French occupation of Chanthaburi in 1893. It\'s only a small building and I\'m not sure how many prisoners were squeezed into it, but story goes that as a punishment, The French would let chickens roam around on a mesh floor high above the cell and in turn shit on the poor souls down below. It can\'t have been a pleasant experience at all.</span>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The prison and small surrounding garden are both immaculately kept and once again, admission is free. The prison won\'t detain you for more than half an hour but it\'s well worth a look. Definitely one of the province\'s quirkier diversions.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov6.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>The red building</h3>\n<p>Just a five-minute walk from the chicken shit prison is Tuek Daeng (The Red Building). Built by the French Army, this long, single-story structure served as military headquarters during the French occupation and is well over a hundred years old.</p>\n<p>What a shame that those responsible for keeping the prison in such pristine condition don\'t also have the task of looking after The Red Building - because the place is literally falling apart. The wood is badly damaged in many sections and paint is flaking off all over the shop. It was incredibly sad to see such an important slice of history falling into rack and ruin. It should have been a living, breathing museum with French military clothing in glass showcases and the sounds of battle playing through tinny speakers. Instead, I peeked through a gap in the filthy net curtains and all I could see was a pile of old paint-tins and what looked like a dead rat.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov7.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Phliu waterfall</h3>\n<p>Undoubtedly one of the main attractions in the province is the Phliu Waterfall, <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/travel/8152_info_namtok-phliu-national-park-phliu-waterfall.html\">which is part of the Namtok Phliu National Park</a>. I\'m not sure why but I always seem to pick the worst possible day to visit a waterfall and I should have known that on a Sunday at the start of the cool season, there were sure to be plenty of day-trippers in attendance. But the falls were pleasant enough even if at times it took all my willpower to block out the whooping and selfies.</p>\n<p>One of the reasons that Phliu Waterfall is so popular is down to its accessibility. There are no five-mile hikes through jungle terrain to end up at something which is no more than just an ambitious stream. Stick your car in the car-park and it\'s just a leisurely stroll up the hill to the falls.</p>\n<p>On the way up, you\'ll see many vendors selling bundles of green string beans. This all becomes apparent once you arrive at the main attraction. The lower waters and rock pools are absolutely teeming with fish - and oh boy do they ever love green beans! Throw a few beans in the water and there\'s a fish fight to end all fish fights. Dangle your feet in the water and you\'ll get the cheapest fish spa in town.</p>\n<p>On a final note, the Phliu Waterfall unfortunately has one of those disagreeable double-pricing systems - 40 baht for Thais and 200 baht for foreigners. If you\'re one of those folks who are prone to throwing a hissy fit when having to pony up five times more for the entrance free than a local, you might want to give the falls and its bean-scoffing fish a wide berth.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chantnov8.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>In conclusion</h3>\n<p>Chantaburi Province is a delightful area to visit. It\'s scenic without being touristy and when it comes to Thailand being promoted as \'The Land of Smiles\' it\'s nice to see some locals who clearly got the memo. There are plenty of things to see and do and enough activities to easily fill up a four-day break. But I would say without hesitation that you will enjoy things a lot more if you have your own wheels. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>','','2014-11-27 18:30:20',1,'2014-11-27 18:30:20','2018-04-15 03:03:23'),(24105,83,'Coffee in the kingdom','coffee-in-the-kingdom','So who comes out better than Starbucks?','I think it was Anthony Bourdain who said that most people go to Starbucks not for the coffee but for the ability to show off that they spend five dollars a day on coffee.

Granted, I am from Seattle, and it is difficult to be a saint in one\'s own country, but the idea of spending five dollars on a cup of coffee every day seems ridiculous to me.</p>\n<p>The coffee is decent, but I do not think it is worth four times the value of Dunkin Donut\'s coffee. I think it was Anthony Bourdain who said that most people go to Starbucks not for the coffee but for the ability to show off that they spend five dollars a day on coffee. I must say I agree, especially in Thailand, where they do not even offer free wifi.</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, I received a Starbucks gift card from a friend a few weeks ago, and have patronized the location in Ekamai several times over the last week or so. It got me thinking about the options for coffee in Bangkok as well as this part of the world in general.</p>\n<p>Most Thai people drink instant coffee, which any real coffee drinker will want to avoid. It can be sort of be fun for a while to drink your morning coffee out of a bag, and it will usually only set you back 12 baht, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly; I think it\'s best to look at other options.</p>\n<p>In most of Southeast Asia, this is not much of an issue as there are plenty of cheap and delicious coffee options. In Trat, where I used to work, there were several family-run coffee shops that would make real and delicious espresso drinks for 25-50 baht. Chiang Mai abounds with coffee options. And Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia have some of the best coffee I have ever had.</p>\n<p>However, the options are not as great in most of Bangkok. There are definitely some high-quality coffee shops, but you will often have to pay a premium. I have listed a range of options, as well as my thoughts on each, below.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/coffee.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong>M Coffee</strong>: This place comes highly recommended on several travel websites, and is conveniently located next to the BTS Phra Khanong station. The coffee\'s okay, but it did not live up to the online hype. On the other hand, the Thai food, especially the chicken with cashew nuts, is amazing (3.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Beans and Booze:</strong> This is a small coffee shop located on Sukhumvit 50. The coffee\'s pretty good, and the atmosphere is great, albeit cozy. There are several trashy John Burdett novels to read, along with Lonely Planet travel guides. And, more importantly, the shop serves Beer Lao (4/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Coffee World/ True Coffee:</strong> I am not a fan of these chains. The desserts are good, but the coffee is as expensive as Starbucks and not very strong. The milk-based drinks are far too sugary as well, even by Thai standards. True coffee does make a pretty good hot cocoa. (1.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Au Bon Pan:</strong> This chain has good bagels, but the coffee is mediocre, and it\'s as expensive as Starbucks and Coffee World (2.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Counting Sheep Corner:</strong> This is a great little restaurant located on Sukhumvit 61. The coffee is strong and tastes great. It even has a selection of novelty coffee options such as a nutella latte. The baked goods and smoothies are freshly made and wonderful. This place has delicious food too, including burgers, smoked salmon, and squid ink pasta.</p>\n<p>The coffee is as expensive, if not more so, than Starbucks, but, at a nice restaurant like this, the price is more than worth it (4.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Fill in the Blank:</strong> This is another quiet caf&eacute; near Counting Sheep on Sukhumvit 61. The coffee is good, and it has an abundance of tasty dessert selections including a chocolate lava souffl&eacute;. This caf&eacute; is quite cheap for the area. My Americano only cost 70 baht (4.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Roast:</strong> This is a very popular breakfast place located in Thong Lor. If you go for brunch on a weekend, it is best to make reservations before arriving. I made the mistake of not doing so and had to wait for 30 minutes.</p>\n<p>The building has an industrial feel and the menu is printed on a newspaper. It bears some resemblance to the hipster brunch cafes for trustafarians in the US, and I assume it mostly caters to the same demographic in Bangkok. Though I would normally feel judgmental and cynical in an establishment like this, I loved this place when I had brunch. The food was great, and the coffee selections went way beyond what is normally seen in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>They offered the usual assortment of espresso-based selections along with several \"coffees of the month\" from varied countries around the world. I chose French press coffee from Honduras, and I was not disappointed, though it did set me back 150 baht for black coffee. I will certainly be visiting this place again, hopefully on a weekday when the line is not as long (4.7/5).</p>\n<p><strong>Caf&eacute; Amazon:</strong> This chain has pretty decent coffee all things considered. They exist at gas stations all over the country. I used to go to the one in Trat quite a bit since it was located near my school. I have not seen many on the BTS route, excluding the one way in back of Paragon, but I think I would frequent this place more if I had a car. There\'s nothing to complain about. The coffee\'s good and cheap, but there\'s nothing special about it either (3.5/5).</p>\n<p>The above was my first attempt at coffee reviews, so forgive me for the lack of specialized vernacular and detailed descriptions. In regards to the rating system, I would say Starbucks is about a 3.5/5 in terms of taste, but a 3/5 overall due to the price.</p>\n<p>But the fact is that going to Starbucks is a matter of convenience. The coffee\'s decent, and, despite the fact that it\'s expensive for coffee, it\'s not going to break the bank for most people. Still, I think most of us came to this part of the world for the sake of adventure.</p>\n<p>Going to Starbucks hardly fits that bill. Drinking Starbucks is too similar to going to the Khao San McDonalds right after arriving in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I understand the desire for convenience and familiarity in a coffee shop, but I think life should be more spontaneous and involve as many new experiences as possible. Without risk there is no adventure.  So go ahead, explore, experiment, and find a local coffee shop that you love.</p>\n<p>Bangkok is an urban metropolis, and no matter how hard it tries to be polluted, congested, expensive (by Thai standards), and unpalatable, there are always surprises around the corner. New tastes, sights, smells, experiences, hobbies, and passions are there to be found.</p>','','2014-12-02 05:16:17',1,'2014-12-02 05:16:17','2014-12-02 19:07:18'),(24107,71,'Taking an overnight train in Thailand','taking-an-overnight-train-in-thailand','Or should that be riding the rolling coffin?','I\'ve been on many trains in Europe of varying price points, but even the lowest class trains I saw in Italy are a more pleasant experience than this \"express\" train.

It\'s a nice and peaceful area, albeit not much to do as I\'ve said in a previous post.</p>\n<p>What shall forevermore stick in my memory, though, is getting back to Bangkok. <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-state-of-the-state-railway\">As was @Derek Hopper\'s experience here on ajarn.com</a>, we (she) opted for the overnight train, and for whatever reason the \"normal\" 12-hour train was booked, so we had to get on the sleeper train that left around 3:45 p.m. and arrived at Bang Sue in Bangkok at 7:00 a.m. That\'s right, just over 15 hours on a train.</p>\n<p>It\'s my understanding that these trains were bought secondhand from Japan, and it shows. Sure, there was air con, and sure there were beds, but we got stuck with top beds (par for the course with sleeper trains) with no windows, right next to the freezing air con vents.</p>\n<p>There is an on-board lavatory, which genuinely looks like one you would see in a prison cell. Hey, I\'ve seen the movies... although in all fairness, what more can you expect than a giant filthy hole on something that is moving and swaying and bumping constantly.</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard of the recent safety problems on Thai trains, and all fairness I didn\'t sense any of that. Periodically, armed police would walk by (I guess that\'s what they are)... and, well, that\'s GOT to make you feel safe, right?</p>\n<p>The only thing I can really compare the experience to is being in a coffin in a freezing hospital room for 15 hours with a bunch of people trying to sell you things. The icing on the cake is the 5:00 a.m. \"rush\" whereby everyone needs to be roused by yelling attendants (read: scavengers) for sketchy breakfast and instant coffee. Call me hiso, but I\'ve seen the dining cars on these Thai trains, and I\'m not that brave.</p>\n<p>If you\'re not a morning person, this train is not for you. Case in point: me.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been on many trains in Europe of varying price points, but even the lowest class trains I saw in Italy are a more pleasant experience than this \"express\" train. I won\'t quite compare it to the [essentially] cattle cars I\'ve traveled by in Poland, but after 15 hours... it may as well be the same.</p>\n<p>I\'ve taken other regional non-air con Thai trains around Bangkok, and at least with those you get what you pay for: less than 100 baht, and a leisurely experience.&nbsp;If the price was 400 baht, I\'d probably not be so scarred about it, but at 800 baht each-about the same as an overnight bus from Nakhon or Phuket (12ish hours), and not much less than a plane ticket (45 minutes) if you book in advance- I can wholeheartedly say that I\'ll never do an overnight train in Thailand again.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

','<p>I thought it might be an interesting idea each month or so to feature a couple of common teaching in Thailand-related questions - and find out what teachers have to say by way of answers and comments. Welcome to The Burning Question.</p>\n<p>Ok, now for this month\'s questions. The first question is about teachers speaking Thai in the classroom and the second question is about how time spent teaching in Thailand might or might not affect your resume in the future.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>It seems that after interviewing for several teaching jobs, some schools want their foreign teachers to speak some Thai and other schools couldn\'t care less. Do foreign teachers in Thailand feel that knowing and speaking some Thai comes in useful while they are in the classroom?</h3>\n<p>I use Thai for the occasional noun or verb or we would never get anywhere. I speak mostly English as I don\'t know Thai but do use some phrases to get the students\' attention. They appreciate it, if you can pronounce the words and phrases reasonably well. <strong>(Ray)</strong></p>\n<p>Of course it\'s useful to be able to speak the learner\'s first language. The only reason it\'s not mentioned in Celta training is that it was developed for people moving to England and so it\'s expected that the class be full of different language speakers. Anyone who says you should never use the speakers home language under any circumstance has done zero research and frankly given zero thought to the matter. This being said, it is possible some headmasters and parents might be against speaking Thai in class. <strong>(Michaeal)</strong></p>\n<p>In any foreign country, speaking the local language is the bottom line: showing respect to the culture or wanting to really know what\'s going on around you, etc Also, it is good to sometimes remember that the English language is obviously the international language but it is not yet an official language to be spoken in Thailand, so that&acute;s another reason of trying to speak Thai language with locals. <strong>(Jordi)</strong></p>\n<p>It\'s a no-brainer, of course it would help in the classroom. <strong>(Birgit)</strong></p>\n<p>I have found that speaking some of a native language makes life easier around the school, both in meetings and in living in the country, but I have never heard of any school not hiring foreign teachers because they don\'t speak the language. That\'s often a polite excuse to save face when rejecting a candidate and also a way for native teachers to protect their jobs, even express resentment over higher salaries paid to native speakers. Neither South Korea or Japan demand ESL teachers speak their languages and China will take anyone that can breath, regardless of what they say. <strong>(Stephen)</strong></p>\n<p>Not only in school, but if you are living in a foreign country I think you should speak the language. <strong>(Faiza)</strong></p>\n<p>If you use Thai in class, the students only listen to the Thai and not the English. Ok if you use the odd word as a last resort maybe, but I feel like I\'m being lazy if I do! My assistant teacher was using Thai all the time to teach english, as were most of the Thai teachers in the school. I found out later she\'d lied to me when she told me she had permission to do that. <strong>(James)</strong></p>\n<p>Absolutely NO, foreign teachers are hired to teach English and speak English only. <strong>(Survivor)</strong></p>\n<p>No Thai should be spoken when teaching English. Teaching your students to listen to you first is best. We have English teachers from four different countries and our students are exposed to different English accents so they have to listen. Get the students to listen and you will not need to speak Thai. <strong>(Glyn)</strong></p>\n<p>I tried to teach my children to tell me when they don\'t understand something and I used the Thai \'mai kao jai\' . Parents came up to me to tell me their children are saying \'mai kao jai\' like a farang!!! I think best not to speak Thai, my school doesn\'t expect it. <strong>(Shireen)</strong></p>\n<p>I was taught the number 1 rule when teaching ESL is NOT to speak Thai. You are teaching English NOT Thai. It is useful for communicating with Thai teachers who are limited in speaking English, however I never introduce any Thai language into the classroom when teaching. <strong>(Troy)</strong></p>\n<p>In my opinion it\'s a double edged sword. Speaking Thai certainly helps with communication with the students and it is nice to be able to translate some words that they don\'t know and to explain some grammar rules. That is the good side. The bad side is that because a teacher can speak some Thai, the students will speak Thai first to you first and English only when asked for it. But the higher the level of the students the less important Thai becomes. Personally I think it is a balancing act that depends on the level and attitude of your students. <strong>(Kenneth)</strong></p>\n<p>I speak as little Thai as possible in class, but the fact that i am able to means my students are much more comfortable with me. Also i teach much more effectively than I did before I could speak Thai. <strong>(Jennifer)</strong></p>\n<p>Korea, Japan, and maybe China hire teachers who can speak their basic languages. These students in these countries speaks better English than those in Thailand. So why don\'t we copy their systems? <strong>(Senior)</strong></p>\n<p>The problem with knowing Thai is that you\'re tempted to use it and use it too much.  Many students may appreciate it, most employers probably will not. It does help when teaching kids - it\'s an absolute \'no no\' in the corporate world, though. If lessons are planned well enough in advance then Thai shouldn\'t be needed at all. <strong>(Mark)</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>I have only recently graduated and plan on teaching in Thailand for a year or two before returning to look for non-teaching work in the UK. My question is this - how would two years of teaching English in Thailand look on my resume? Will it help or hinder my employment chances once I return home?</h3>\n<p>I am having the same dilemma, and am just about to finish a masters degree in engineering. My careers adviser said that If I went away for a couple of years to teach, I would return in pretty much the same position I\'m in now... a graduate with little professional experience in engineering. Its not the end of the world though - you\'re only young once! <strong>(Diana)</strong></p>\n<p>My view is that some people are too hung up on their resumes, especially so early in their careers. I used to be a recruiter and I would always look for character and those that had travelled and/or done something a bit out of the ordinary or someone that had taken on a challenge which required at least a little courage to do. Those type of people would most times - if the rest stacked up - get an interview. I fail to see that learning how to live abroad, teach, plan lessons, manage relationships with Thai colleagues, control / educate a classroom full of hungry (or not so hungry) minds could in any way be seen by a future employer, in whatever field, as being a waste of time. If it were me I would believe it was evidence of get-up-and-go and a willingness to try something new. Doesn\'t matter whether you are an engineer or shelf stacker, in the workplace people with life experience are worth having. <strong>(Dave)</strong></p>\n<p>Beware that if you come to Thailand, you may never choose to leave. I came here for a six week vacation....four years ago. <strong>(Christopher)</strong></p>\n<p>Live life to the full stop worryin about what employers think. <strong>(Gypsy)</strong></p>\n<p>It\'s an experience that will be with you for your whole life. It might not seem like an asset on your resume/cv but it\'s something that will get you noticed. It\'s certainly different than the norm. I am a year removed from college and taught English in Thailand and Cambodia. Currently looking at non teaching jobs. It gives you an edge, I think. You just need to make sure you word things the right way. <strong>(Anthony)</strong></p>\n<p>Speaking from personal experience in this matter, it will be viewed as a gap year at best, and I mean if you\'re lucky. If you can maintain some link with your field, i.e with freelance work or whatever, that will really help you upon your return. If you are (or will be) under 25, the damage will not be too severe. <strong>(Neil)</strong></p>\n<p>I returned to England after 9 months of teaching in Thailand and found that the time abroad was looked on very favourably by employers. A lot of interviewers said it showed a person with a bit of \'get up ang go\' and self-motivation. It certainly didn\'t take me long to find a decent job. <strong><strong>(Andrew)&nbsp;</strong></strong></p>\n<p>Impossible to say. You can make the experience a plus in an interview or the interviewer may make it a minus. &nbsp;On the one hand you\'ve got the \'bug\' out of your system and are ready to dedicate yourself to your career... on the other hand recent graduates are more malleable than worldly wise ones and may suit an employer better. On balance &nbsp;- this is something you should do for your own benefit regardless of the professional implications - which are, at best, unpredictable. <strong>(Mark)</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to send us your opinions and answers, please use the \'Post Your Comment\' form at the bottom of the page and I will add your words to the main text, along with your first name.

How did you find it? Was it beneficial to your students? Would you recommend it for Thai schools?</p>\n<p>In my 8 years of teaching in Thailand, I had never done any team teaching with a Thai English teacher - not until last term. As a foreign teacher in a government school, I had my regular loads ranging from 18- 21 periods a week. With these loads, teaching was both heaven and hell, depending on the classes I was   assigned.</p>\n<p>When I had inattentive, noisy, not so responsive and not so diligent students, I called it hell. When I had quiet, enthusiastic, cooperative and active students, I called it heaven. But heaven or hell, life must go on for me so in every situation I had to devise ways and means to turn hell into heaven. Fortunately this term, I am in heaven because my students belong to the second group.</p>\n<p>More so, last term, I had team teaching with an English Thai teacher 5 periods a week. It was a blessing in disguise because the Thai English teacher, who was also a computer teacher, had to render certain required number of hours.</p>\n<p>Normally, the Thai teacher would teach English alone using prescribed textbooks with accompanying workbooks which she tackled page by page, unit by unit. Last time she had to do it with my assistance.</p>\n<p>When I taught with my partner, the Thai teacher would translate everything I would say. When I modeled all the oral activities, the Thai teacher would explain. But the flow of the lesson was in the hands of the Thai teacher. My major role was to teach  songs because the songs in the textbooks were patterned from common and popular nursery rhymes.</p>\n<p>At times, I did chants and had to add spice to the Thai teacher\'s activities through songs and games to make them more meaningful and more enjoyable.</p>\n<p>I found team teaching useful. I even thought this should have been done many years ago so that students could read and write in English for teaching English using      textbooks suited to students\' level surely develops the four language skills    especially in Grade I where they learn to read because the textbooks  and workbooks have many reading, writing, listening and speaking activities.</p>\n<p>I really enjoyed my team teaching. One time the Thai teacher told me that she learned a lot of activities from me which she   never encountered before. Likewise, I learned from the Thai teacher on how she handled classes, started lessons, presented activities, and evaluated students.</p>\n<p>We had continuity in our lessons because in case one of us had a meeting, one of us could teach our classes. Suffice to say, better lessons were handled because when I presented something, the Thai teacher enriched it and vice versa. Oh, it was less burdensome too on my part   because the Thai teacher planned the lessons and I just supplemented them.</p>\n<p>With team teaching, checking student\'s workbooks or textbooks were facilitated. Checking was faster because there were two of us doing the work. Mind you, it was really less strenuous on my part because the students were behaved in the presence of the Thai teacher. I miss team teaching because my partner moved to another school.</p>\n<p>At least for a term I experienced a \"meaningful\" teaching with my Thai partner. Of course, when I teach alone I do enjoy it.  But I enjoyed it more when I was with my Thai partner. Because of team teaching   I became closer to my Thai teacher so whenever I had troubles in school, she would always be there to the rescue.</p>\n<p>If I have the chance to work with another Thai teacher with  this kind of arrangement, I will not hesitate to accept it. It will lessen my burden of work, I can learn from my partner, I can share my knowledge and experiences to my partner, and the students will benefit a lot in the end.</p>\n<p>Why not give team teaching a try?</p>','','2014-12-08 07:23:20',1,'2014-12-08 07:23:20','2014-12-08 21:09:21'),(24118,71,'A field trip to space!','a-field-trip-to-space','When teachers probably enjoy a day out more than the students','Last week, I had the opportunity to help take our Mathayom 1-3 students (grades 7-9) to the \"NASA: A Human Adventure, The Exhibition,\" that\'s going on at Central Ladprao shopping mall.','<p>Last week, I had the opportunity to help take our Mathayom 1-3 students (grades 7-9) to the \"NASA: A Human Adventure, The Exhibition,\" that\'s going on at Central Ladprao shopping mall (not far from BTS Mo Chit and/or MRT Phahon Yothin) from December-February.</p>\n<p>I haven\'t been on a field trip since the 6th grade (my county in the US put a stop to them years ago due to expenses and liability issues), and it was interesting to be \"on the other side of the fence,\" so to say.</p>\n<p>I teach science, but each year Astronomy (my personal favorite subject) is taught only to the M3s during the very last term, and is thus far overshadowed by the impending doom of the M3 O-NET standardized exams during around the same time.</p>\n<p>I can confidently say that the other foreign teacher and I that accompanied our 100ish students (alongside several Thai teachers) enjoyed the expo far more than most of the students, although at least a few students appreciated the experience too.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve ever visited the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., this won\'t absolutely wow you; most of the material showcased in the exhibits consists of reproductions, but if you\'re a space and/or history buff like me, it is still quite interesting.</p>\n<p>The students all received modified iPods of some sort that acted as audio guides to all of the exhibits, although everything is also written in both English and Thai.</p>\n<p>I was surprised to learn a good deal about the various types of rockets and lunar landers that have been used since the 1950s, and was even more intrigued that the exhibit also paid homage to a good deal of the Russian space program\'s endeavors, something that is often left out of American textbooks. Typical.</p>\n<p>The convention center at Central Ladprao (I believe they call it the BCC Hall) has essentially been converted into a combination museum/hands-on science fair. While I showed my age and enjoyed the history/museum segment best, the students obviously liked the second part best: hands-on simulations of various space related science activities including an effects of gravity station, centrifugal force/G-force simulator (operated by an American, I noticed), and a walk-up view of the cockpit of a Space Shuttle reproduction.</p>\n<p>I honestly don\'t know the price of regular admission as my school paid for my entry, but if you\'re a space buff and are looking for something you don\'t often find in Thailand (space exploration and history both), I\'d definitely say it\'s worth a look.</p>\n<p>It seemed to be particularly popular with English Programs at various government schools around our area (I\'m sure there is a large group discount), as our group of 100+ students was only a part of the hundreds of students taking part.

However there is more to the race to the clouds than meets the eye. No matter what the reason the owners of the world\'s tallest buildings have for their masterpieces, building up is the way of the future.</p>\n<p>It may not be very kind on the skyline but it is the most sustainable and one of our only ways forward.</p>\n<p>While the planned construction on Rama 9 may not have the idea of sustainability as its number one priority, pre-designed cities might be just what the world needs in order to move forward and cut carbon emissions. It may seem counterintuitive to think that the suburban and countryside dwellers boast higher carbon footprints than city folk, after all they live in the country, have nice gardens and generally keep their area greener than those in the city, however urban sprawl is a major contributor to pollution and wasted energy.</p>\n<p>When living in the city, people are more likely to use public transport or share rides to work. They have less distance to cover to get to work and therefore create fewer pollutants on the way. Water and electricity don\'t have as far to travel and your quick nip to the local supermarket is just walking distance away.</p>\n<p>In a city, land can be used more efficiently, but this doesn\'t necessarily mean it is, as urban sprawl comes through organic growth which is never as efficient as pre-planned zoning. Cities are now being designed and built specifically for sustainability. <a href=\"http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/m/fujian/2014-08/28/content_18505118.htm\">Thailand has many projects</a> (but probably still not enough) aimed at the poor, tackling sustainability issues.</p>\n<p>Not everyone can afford to live in the city and most of any city\'s workforce will live in the suburbs. The problem is worsened by property developers who buy up the cheaper city housing, build extensions and make them unaffordable to the average person. We are a long way from living in the clouds but steps are being made towards this new future.</p>\n<p>Buildings such as the <a href=\"http://inhabitat.com/a-utopian-vision-for-food-city-dubai/\">planned Food City in Dubai</a> are leading the way. While in their infancy these projects will certainly be out of the average person\'s price range but could we all be living in this style of building in the next 50 years?</p>\n<p>It is hard to say just how high we can go, and while ego might be the motivation behind some of these buildings, they are a necessary step to a more sustainable future.

I can\'t help but wonder how these working-class guys in one of the poorest nations in the world learned to speak so well.</p>\n<p>This driver\'s English was especially good.  Look back at the dialog. He used the adverb \'well\' instead of saying good, something even a lot of native English speakers fail to do.  He correctly chose the present perfect tense when asking about my length of stay. He structured a question in the present simple properly, and although you can\'t read it, his pronunciation was outstanding.</p>\n<p>Maybe he was impressed that I used the nain-gan particle to indicate a nation as his only error was in telling me I speak Myanmar well because I don\'t.  Not really.  I know maybe 100 words and have a basic command of the simplest grammar.  I do, however, speak a particular kind of the local language decently.  I thought I\'d explain it to him.</p>\n<h3>Taxi English</h3>\n<p>\"Jennau Taxi-lo pyaw deh\" (I speak taxi language), I told him.</p>\n<p>He didn\'t understand what I was trying to say at first, and he asked me to repeat it. Twice.  See, I\'ve done a good job in trying to learn the subtleties of this tonal language for half a dozen or phrases that are needed when communicating in a taxi.</p>\n<p>Given that all the taxis here are non-metered, knowing how to negotiate a price is first and foremost of the key elements of this particular specialized language. Giving directions is also important. When the taxi drivers hear me speaking their language well with these isolated phrases, they naturally assume I speak the rest of the language just as well.</p>\n<p>Just because I know how to say \"I\'m going to _______\" and \"Will you take 2500 (Kyats)?\" doesn\'t mean I can speak the language.</p>\n<p>As he finally understood the concept of what I was trying to say, he barked \"Me same!\" excitedly. \"I speak Taxi English!\"</p>\n<p>Note he mixed up his subject/object pronoun and left out the verb in the first sentence.  He went on to explain that he was comfortable with English phrases like \"Should I continue straight?\" or \"Turn left at the light\",  but once outside his comfort zone of cabbie English, his general English was, as he said, \"so not good.\"</p>\n<h3>Time for a new course?</h3>\n<p>There are many types of English-for-specific-purposes that are well recognized and even taught formally all over the world.  Aviation English; scientific English; engineering English; legal English, English for the hospitality or oil &amp; gas industry - to name but a few.  As for business English, I\'ve moved past wearing the \'Scarlet K\' at my school and enjoy teaching that specific purpose English on a regular basis.</p>\n<p>Certainly,  having some proficiency in English is an important skill for every taxi driver no matter what country he lives in.  I think it\'s high time that Taxi English joins the ranks of these other Englishes and be recognized for it\'s unique lexicon and usage!</p>\n<p>If I could find that same taxi-driver that I rode with this morning, I\'d ask him to help me write a text book on the subject.

In another tweak, Thai schools have been asked to reduce the amount of homework students are assigned (although there\'s little evidence that schools are following this).</p>\n<p>The government has also informed schools to ensure their students develop good Thai morals. <a href=\"http://www.thaigov.go.th/en/news-2/item/84749-id84749.html\">The 12 Core Values of Thai People</a>&nbsp;were drawn up by the NCPO and schools across the county have been told to recite these to the students on a regular basis.</p>\n<p>These three changes hardly constitute educational reform but to be fair, reform takes time and the NCPO have been busy with perhaps more pressing concerns.</p>\n<p>Maybe we will see some sign of reform next year when schools are due to receive a new curriculum. Hopefully this new curriculum will contain some genuine improvements to put the Thai education system back on track.</p>\n<h3>Education system</h3>\n<p>In 2014 the quality of the Thai education system was making headlines once again for all the wrong reasons.</p>\n<p>- Thai students\' average scores in TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) were among the three lowest for ASEAN nations (narrowly surpassing Lao and Cambodia)<br />- Students from Thailand were ranked 13th out of 14 nations for IT skills by the International Computer Information Literacy Study (ICILS)<br />- In the 2014 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Thailand was only able to register one university inside the top 400</p>\n<h3>Murder island</h3>\n<p>Then in October the brutal murders of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller and the subsequent investigation <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/what-can-be-learnt-from-the-koh-tao-murders\">reminded everyone of Thailand\'s more sinister side</a>&nbsp;and the inadequacies of the Kingdom\'s police force. This tragic event is unlikely to have any long term effect on tourism but it serves as an important reminder that the TAT\'s picture-postcard images are some distance from the reality of life in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>The future</h3>\n<p>And looking forward, what might 2015 have in store for us?</p>\n<p>Well next year, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) will finally arrive and it\'ll be time to see exactly how Thailand is going to deal with increased competition from its SE Asian neighbours.</p>\n<p>Are factory owners all going to relocate to Vietnam? How will Thai graduates fair in competition for top jobs against their Singaporean counterparts?</p>\n<p>At some point during 2015 we are also expecting to see a new curriculum for the Thai MoE. It\'s believed that the English language curriculum will now be linked to the Common European Framework with Prathom 6 students expected to reach A1 proficiency, Mathayom 3 students reach A2 and Mathayom 6 students be up at B1 proficiency.</p>\n<p>Measuring the students\' ability against an international scale is a great idea, hopefully Thailand\'s teachers will be given sufficient training and support to make this a reality.</p>\n<p>And finally on a political note, anyone hoping to see elections in Thailand during 2015, is surely going to be disappointed.

I won\'t lie and say I didn\'t use Christmas Eve as an excuse to join all the other foreigners in the city partying around Sukhumvit (what\'s Christmas without a little party), but what has blown me away the most is the sheer volume of people and stores getting into the holiday spirit. Say hello to the Siam shopping district and its multitude of sales and people, people, people.</p>\n<h3>Boxing day blues</h3>\n<p>I made the mistake of promising my fianc&eacute; we would go shopping the day after Christmas (Boxing Day for non-Americans I believe?) in and around Siam Square. Woah. I have been places with a lot of fellow human beings... London in the height of summer, the Olympics in Atlanta, Paris in spring (say no more)... none of these hold a candle to the thousands upon thousands of people spread around Bangkok\'s Ratchaprasong shopping district the day after Christmas.</p>\n<p>It absolutely baffles me that all of those thousands of stores can be so teeming with shoppers (myself unfortunately included). I keep asking, what could Bangkok possibly need with ANOTHER shopping mall (hello Central Embassy)... well, now I have my answer. The multitudes have spoken.</p>\n<h3>A spectacle</h3>\n<p>That said, if you can manage the crowds, Bangkok\'s downtown is truly a spectacle to behold during the holidays. The decorations at the malls and areas in-between, especially Siam Paragon and Central World, rival and surpass decorations I\'ve seen in New York and Los Angeles. The beer gardens set up outside Central World are dazzling (even if the que to get in spans eighteen years apiece).</p>\n<p>Most impressive to me, though, was the skywalk connecting Central World to the Chidlom BTS station; the themed light areas specially designed for the selfie narcissist in all of us is beautiful, and the view of what can only be called an army of Snoopy characters outside of Central World is... well, impressive. I\'m quite surprised the city\'s power grid can handle all the lights, honestly, but the result is spectacular.</p>\n<p>It\'s not like I haven\'t seen this kind of stuff before, in or outside Thailand. Still, the fact that I\'m in a non-Christian country in the tropics makes Bangkok during the holidays quite a sight to see.</p>\n<p>And best of all, since Bangkok has the odd tradition of being a ghost town as the New Year comes around, if you stick around long enough, you have the city and its decorations to yourself!</p>\n<p>Me, I\'m a glutton for punishment.

I\'m sitting in a coffee shop, watching the world go by and the sun go down, and I flip open my laptop.</p>\n<h3>My student in Russia</h3>\n<p>It\'s 2.55pm in Moscow.

The hour-long lesson flies by and soon our time is up. But I continue for another 15 minutes because we\'re both in the flow.

Then I order another coffee.</p>\n<h3>Time for a change</h3>\n<p>Three years ago, I was working at an international school in Moscow, working something in the region of 50  hours a week. I\'d also started taking on private students, so several evenings a week I\'d set off from my school and trudge for anywhere up to 30 minutes through the snow in temperatures occasionally touching minus 30 degrees centigrade to get to my student\'s apartment, where the temperatures in the superheated apartment blocks usually touched plus 30 degrees centigrade.</p>\n<p>I\'d been doing this for over two years. I was exhausted, utterly exhausted.</p>\n<p>I knew that this was no way to live life, especially after spending two weeks in hospital with a mild viral infection, so in the summer of 2012 I decided to swap the Land of Frowns to the Land of Smiles. Today I still teach the same private Russian students, except now, instead of trudging through snowdrifts and skidding over patches of ice, I simply open up Skype.</p>\n<h3>Edupreneur</h3>\n<p>I\'m an online English teacher, part of a booming sector of \"edupreneurs\" - teachers working for themselves, combining their skills and knowledge with technology, to create their own business.</p>\n<p>Technology today has levelled the playing field, enabling individual teachers to compete on equal (or better) terms with private English language schools, enabling them to find students from all over the world, communicate with them, find materials and get paid.</p>\n<h3>Bangkok is perfect</h3>\n<p>In my opinion, Bangkok is one of the best places in the world from which to operate as an online English teacher. Living costs here are relatively low while Internet connectivity is good. Add to that the large number of coffee shops in the city with good WiFi connections and you really have everything you need.</p>\n<p>Personally I prefer to teach from my apartment, but the choice is there. You can even teach while on your travels, from a hotel room looking out towards the mountains or, as I occasionally do, from a coffee shop looking out over a beach.</p>\n<p>You can also supplement your income from online teaching by teaching English at one of Bangkok\'s many English language schools, which has the added advantage of getting you sorted out with visas, work permits, professional development and health insurance, not to mention colleagues with whom you can unload your woes.</p>\n<p>Online teaching in Thailand also has one other big advantage: because you can teach students from all over the world, you can teach students where the pay rates for private English tutors are high, such as Japan, South Korea, the Gulf states and Russia.</p>\n<p>When you factor in the low cost of living in Thailand, this means you don\'t need to work that many hours in order to make ends meet, giving you time to live your life more fully: working to live rather than living to work. My Muscovite students pay me three times the rate I\'d get teaching English at a school in Bangkok. And with online teaching there\'s no sweaty commuting. And you can teach in shorts!</p>\n<h3>How\'s your online business?</h3>\n<p>So are you an online English teacher? Where are you based? Bangkok, Chiang Mai, elsewhere? What do you like about it and what difficulties (if any) do you face? Where do you teach your lessons? From your house or apartment, or a coffee shop? And which coffee shops? Which ones have reliable WiFi?</p>\n<p>Where do your students come from and how do you find them? What sort of things do you teach? Conversation practice, exam preparation, Business English? Let\'s start a conversation about teaching English online from Thailand, so feel free to write a comment below.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to write a series of articles on online English teaching for Ajarn, including how to find students and what to teach them.

You can read more about the types of experiences you will encounter abroad in my latest novel, published by FriesenPress, entitled \'It All Started in Mandalay\'.</p>\n<h3>A tale of four teachers</h3>\n<p>In my novel, I chose to create a composite account of four teachers and the owner of an international school in Mandalay.</p>\n<p>The reader will follow their stories for twenty years as they became intertwined with each other in so many ways. Although the book is a work of fiction, I developed the story, the characters and their adventures using inspiration from my own experiences.</p>\n<h3>True events</h3>\n<p>When my wife read the book, she immediately told me that \"no one would believe this stuff. It is way too unrealistic. Everyone knows these things don\'t really happen!\" I was writing for public consumption so let\'s just say that more than a few of my stories were censored but they are all inspired by true events.</p>\n<p>When I wrote the book I had to carefully choose which stories to weave into a novel since there were so many of them to choose from. After developing the characters and general layout of the story, I had to start omitting stories. It was a difficult process since there are so many.</p>\n<p>Some of the stories that did not make the cut: the drug dealer who was using the school computers to advertise and was eventually escorted out of the school in handcuffs, the teacher who threw a transvestite out a hotel window in Thailand when he discovered she had body parts he did not anticipate or the teacher who used to swim miles alone each night in the Pacific Ocean.</p>\n<p>One of the fascinating things that happened when I was writing the book is that I quickly learned that life is much more fascinating than art.</p>\n<h3>Teacher story</h3>\n<p>Literally, when I was on the computer one night, inventing the birth of an illegitimate child that ties the book together, a former teacher of mine saw I was on Skype and dropped in to say hello.  She then proceeded to tell me her story.</p>\n<p>She told me she had always wanted a child and fell in love with a French guy. She travelled to Paris to be with him, discovered they could not live together and returned home to the United States. When she was home she discovered she was pregnant.</p>\n<p>Struggling to determine how her life would play out, she decided to have the child alone. From what I gather both mother and baby are terrifically happy.</p>\n<p>What made this story so unbelievable is that at that very moment when she told me her story,  I was writing the fictional account of an unwed mother, trying to convey a story that this friend of mine so naturally told. I did my best to mirror the reality of this woman\'s experience but as I quickly learned, literature pales in comparison to real life drama.</p>\n<h3>The lure of Asia</h3>\n<p>The book touches on all of the themes you will encounter when you work in Asia.</p>\n<p>Living in Asia, you will learn so much about Asian culture and how it differs dramatically from our society in North American. As a teacher, you quickly learn the differences between the Confucian Model of Education versus the Socratic Method.</p>\n<p>Meeting friends from all over the world, you cannot leave without learning so much more about yourself.</p>\n<p>What makes this book different, I think, is that we see international schools from the inside out, or from the teachers\' point of view. Because the book is centred in Myanmar, I tried to describe what I saw and experienced in that amazing and exotic country that I would advise you all visit.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Micheal Allan Charles</p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://www.michaelallancharles.com/teaching-in-asia-blog\">Website / blog</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:michael_charles@rogers.com\">Contact me by e-mail</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000014595972\">Information about the book and how to order.</a></p>\n<p><img height=\"512\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/manda.jpg\" width=\"331\" /></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/michael1.jpg','2015-01-09 01:10:54',1,'2015-01-09 01:10:54','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24148,10,'Eight days in Korea (part one)','eight-days-in-korea','New Year spent in a freezing cold Seoul.

Here is perhaps an \'alternative\' and quirky overview of all that we experienced in the city and what went in to making it one of our best trips ever.</p>\n<h3>Brass monkey weather</h3>\n<p>I\'d kept tabs on the weather for several weeks leading up to the trip and we knew it was going to be cold. Very cold indeed. The lowest temperature while we were there was minus 10 - and there were very few days when the temperature rose above one or two degrees. But surprisingly the sub-zero temperatures weren\'t as painful as I expected given that we had just flown in from a hot, sweaty Bangkok.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Sure you needed your thick sweater, a heavy jacket, a pair of gloves and a scarf (a hat wasn\'t a bad idea either unless you look as ridiculous in a hat as I do) but once you\'re all decked out in your winter woolens, the cold really doesn\'t prevent you from enjoying the city.</p>\n<p>It was always nice to seek refuge in a warm shopping mall or coffee shop though, however this always presented its own problem. Many shops and restaurants have the heating turned up so high that within minutes you are dying of suffocation. It became quite a skill to walk around, juggle bags of shopping and peel off layers of clothing at the same time. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>My wife told me that many Thais who visit Korea will choose to go in the Autumn months of September and October when not only is the weather milder, but they can enjoy the natural beauty of the leaves changing colour, etc. You certainly wouldn\'t need as many layers on!</p>\n<h3>Digs</h3>\n<p>This was the first time we had booked accommodation anywhere in the world using the Air B\'n\'B website. For those not familiar with it, Air B\'n\'B allows house and apartment owners to rent out either their whole property or perhaps just a room in the building. It\'s a win-win situation. The traveller gets accommodation at a cheaper price than they would booking a hotel or guest house - and the homeowner earns extra income from letting out space.</p>\n<p>We found a small but modern apartment to rent right in the heart of Seoul\'s main shopping district for less than 80 euros (3,100 baht) a night. The apartment was owned by a young Korean woman with clearly an entrepreneurial streak. She owned several properties in the same apartment building - and was renting them all out on Air B\'n\'B. Now that\'s the way to do it! <a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2757665\">You can take a look at the flat here and read the review that I posted on the website.</a></p>\n<p>We got off to a disastrous start. When we found the apartment, feeling tired, hungry, cold and disoriented from being in a very strange city, the combination to the doorlock didn\'t work. After several frustrating minutes of tapping in the code and trying endless variations, we realised we were stuck in the corridor with no bed for the night. I seriously contemplated just bursting into tears.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Although we had Alice\'s contact details (the lady who owned the flat) we had had no time to organise a Korean sim card nor did we have a wi-fi connection. Our smartphones were useless unless we could backtrack and perhaps find a coffee shop with wi-fi. But neither of us relished going back out into the cold in search of a Starbucks and dragging two big suitcases along with us.</p>\n<p>And then along came a knight in shining armour! A Korean gentleman emerged from the flat opposite to put a bag of garbage outside in the corridor. We begged him to help us.</p>\n<p>And with a combination of his appalling English and our non-existent Korean, our saviour got on his phone and contacted Alice. Within minutes an elderly Korean lady (the cleaning lady I believe) arrived on the scene and let us into the flat. Apparently the previous guests had changed the combination to the door-lock when they had no authority whatsoever to do so. My god aren\'t there some idiots about?</p>\n<p>To say thank you for helping us out of our predicament, I gave the Korean neighbour a big man-hug, which he seemed to enjoy immensely.</p>\n<p>From that moment on, everything about the apartment was perfect. The modern bathroom, the piping hot shower, our own kitchen area, the comfy bed, the super-strong wi-fi signal, the underfloor heating (which was actually too warm at times) and plenty of space for two people to move around in. It was a fantastic place to come home to at the end of a long and tiring day\'s shopping and sightseeing.</p>\n<h3>Location, location</h3>\n<p>Our apartment was just one metro station (or a ten-minute walk) from the Myeong Dong shopping area. Imagine Siam Square, but bigger, busier and better. Anyone who wants to see and be seen makes a beeline for Myeoung Dong. It\'s a shopping area for the beautiful people, the in-crowd - but mercifully free of those high-end eyesores like Gucci and Louis Vuitton.</p>\n<p>But that\'s not to take anything away from our immediate neighborhood around Chungmoro metro station, which had everything we wanted - some great coffee shops, a convenience store on every corner and several streets packed on both sides with Korean and international restaurants and cafes with menu prices to suit all budgets.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Smiling, happy people</h3>\n<p>In my book, the locals always make or break a holiday. It\'s the one reason I can never gush about Prague in the Czech Republic the way that other people do. Beautiful city but by jove, the locals are a sour, miserable lot. You get tired of walking into places and being begrudgingly acknowledged by a surly waiter or shop assistant with a face like a slapped arse. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>I didn\'t know what to expect of Koreans. I\'ve never had a Korean friend. The only Koreans I\'ve ever known have been the dozen or so students I came into contact with during my English teaching career. I taught a bunch of Samsung executives back in the mid 90\'s who were frankly, horrible. And I taught a small group of Korean missionaries some years later at a private language school. I\'d say the missionaries were more pleasant to teach than the Samsung executives - but not by much.</p>\n<p>Well, I came away from Seoul with nothing but admiration for the Korean people and their character. Cheerful, friendly, welcoming, helpful and a hundred other adjectives I could use.</p>\n<p>The Japanese left a huge impression on us when we stayed in Tokyo several years ago. We couldn\'t believe that a nationality could be so nice. But I would say that the Koreans are right up there with the Japanese when it comes to making a visitor feel \'special\'. I can\'t pay them a bigger compliment than that.</p>\n<p>The standard of English is not that great in Seoul. Some of the shop assistants really struggle to make themselves understood. But they have a go! There is none of that running and hiding when a foreigner enters the establishment that you often experience in Bangkok. Their attitude is \'I may not speak English well, but I\'m damn well going to try my best\'. I for one, really admired them for it.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Coffee shop culture</h3>\n<p>If there\'s one city that has embraced the booming coffee shop culture, then it must surely be Seoul. There are coffee shops everywhere! And they\'re not all Starbucks either. Many of them are small chains and independents but whatever they are, they all offer a welcome refuge from the bone-chilling temperatures outside.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Seoul coffee shops can be a bit on the pricey side. Expect to pay 20-50% more than you would in Bangkok. Something basic like a hot cappucino will run you about 150 baht but start getting extravagant and order a dollop of whipped cream in your caramel macchiato and prices of 200 baht plus are not uncommon.</p>\n<p>One huge disappointment was the selection of bakery goods. Generally, the display cabinets were far less enticing than those in Bangkok. Where were the sumptuous slivers of cheesecake and the mouth-watering wedges of banhoffie pie? Where were the dainty sandwiches and the freshly-baked crossants?</p>\n<p>Often all you had to choose from was the desperately unimaginative \'waffle and ice cream\' or the new kid on the block - \'honey toast\'. If you can see the appeal of a huge chunk of bread that sits on your plate like half a house-brick, then you\'re a better man than I am. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>I did love the ordering system though. Once you have selected and paid for your goods, you are given a small flying saucer-shaped device that you take back to your table and the device will start buzzing once your order is ready. I just loved that! It avoided that horrible situation of a group of customers all huddled together around the serving area, hands-in-pockets, all wondering why the barista doesn\'t get a bloody move on.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to end part one of this trip report to Seoul with a funny story. It concerns one of the very few cultural faux pas that we made during our stay.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>At the bottom of our apartment building was a delightful coffee shop called \'Love Coffee\' We wandered in there on our second morning in town and ordered two hot chocolates and a couple of cheese and ham toasties. At the end of a very tasty breakfast, we got up, put on our jackets and made for the door.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me\" said the owner, in a very low, almost apologetic tone, \"would you mind bringing over your dirty cups and plates?\"</p>\n<p>\"No problem\" I said, and went back over to our table to fetch them.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>When I arranged the plates and mugs on the counter, the coffee shop owner decided I needed some friendly advice. \"In Korean coffee shops, you should always bring your cups and plates back. The staff would not be expected to clear up after you. In a restaurant, it\'s no problem. The staff are paid to wait on and clear tables. But not in a coffee shop\"</p>\n<p>I had clearly offended the man - and his lovely wife who looked after the shop with him.</p>\n<p>\"Oh I\'m so sorry\" I replied. \"I really didn\'t know about that\"</p>\n<p>\"No, please, don\'t apologize. How were you to know this if you have just arrived? It\'s impossible to come to a new country and know every aspect of that country\'s culture. Don\'t apologize\"</p>\n<p>His response couldn\'t have better diffused the situation or made me feel less culturally ignorant if he\'d tried. He handled the situation beautifully.</p>\n<p>In Prague, the cafe owner would have probably waited until we reached the door and shouted \"Oy, what did your last fucking servant die of?\"</p>\n<p>But not in a suburb of Seoul.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We returned to that coffee shop a further three times during the holiday and became very friendly with the owner and his wife. They were both half-Korean, half Kiwi (how\'s that for a combination?) and next year they planned to return to their hometown of Auckland after running the coffee shop in Seoul for five years.</p>\n<p>Lovely couple!&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>In part two of this \'alternative\' trip report to Seoul, I\'ll touch on the somewhat over-rated Seoul metro system, Thai tourism, super salespeople, and why Seoul is more of a women\'s shopping city.</p>','','2015-01-10 01:08:20',1,'2015-01-10 01:08:20','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24160,59,'Writing activities','writing-activities','Some fun-filled, challenging activities to get your students writing.','Some activities may not be applicable to your students but with creativity, you can modify them to suit your students\' levels and needs.','<p>A former friend   of mine in a refugee camp in the Philippines some years ago, now an accomplished author of several books in America,   requested me to send him some writing activities for intermediate and advanced ESL students, which he wanted to include in a workbook he was writing.</p>\n<p>At first I was hesitant to send what he asked for because I was doing writing activities only for   Grade 4 to 6. On the other hand, I thought that the levels I taught didn\'t matter as long as I shared my ideas. So I sent them anyway.</p>\n<p>Incidentally, because of encouraging praises from people    I  met   in  some formal and  informal  gatherings  in Bangkok, as well as generous comments  from them about  my blogs,  I would like to share also my writing activities  to these people.</p>\n<p>Of course, some activities may not be applicable to their students, but with their creativity, they can modify them to suit their students\' level and need. Here are the writing activities:</p>\n<p>1. <strong>Getting to Know You</strong> - Print a chart  on A4 paper about  your students\' particulars like favorite color, food, drink, fruit, TV program, sport, book, music, city, country, strength, weakness, skill, pet peeve, goal, preference, etc. Distribute to your students and let them accomplish this. When done, students work in pairs asking each other\'s particulars.  Students group their answers as similar or different from that of the partner. The students will exchange papers and write about their partner using the details given.</p>\n<p>2. <strong>Nature Tripping</strong> - Students have a trip outside the classroom; fill up a worksheet requiring data pertaining to land forms, water forms, animals, plants, flowers, buildings, people, events, natural disaster, seasons, etc. After the activity students pair with someone and share their answers. They then individually create an interesting story about the words they wrote adding as many nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions.</p>\n<p>3. <strong>Vote for Me</strong> - After the students have chosen what they like to be someday - mayor, governor, congressman, senator, vice president or president they will give their imaginary answers to the following questions. What is your motive for running as _____. What is/are your qualifications? What are your experiences? What are your related achievements?</p>\n<p>What are your memberships in organizations? What is your political agenda?  Are you winning in the elections? Why? After answering all those questions, the students will write their speech. When everybody is ready, every student works with a partner to check the speech. This is returned to the owner. The owner rewrites the speech to be shared to the class.</p>\n<p>4. <strong>Dear You</strong> - The teacher presents a situation where in a letter sender is confronted with a problem whether to pursue a career, study, or get married. She works as a secretary that gives her a lot of fulfillment. Incidentally a scholarship abroad is offered to her. She is indecisive whether to accept the scholarship get married   or give up her job for her boyfriend who proposes to marry her. She is torn among these 3 options and wants convincing reasons on what to choose. In not less than 100 words what will you advise to this confused lady?</p>\n<p>5. <strong>Help</strong> - John is a member of a religious group that does an outreach program for handicapped children ages 4-12. They do this every week but it seems that his group needs some financial help in order to fulfill its mission.  They need money for transportation, materials, and things to give away to these children occasionally. He thought of seeking help from generous people in the community. If you were John, how will you compose a letter of solicititation?</p>\n<p>6. <strong>Minutes of the Meeting</strong> - You were elected secretary by your club. You had a meeting on the third day of school. Write the minutes of the meeting using these facts: On-the- Spot Painting Contest, March 25, 2015, 3:30 p.m.; all members were present, opening prayer, checking of the attendance, welcome speech of the president, reading of the rules of the contest, reading the criteria for judging, amount of prizes for  the winners, creation of committees, adjournment at 5:00 pm. etc.</p>\n<p>7. <strong>Talk About the Picture</strong> - Having been presented a composite picture of a certain topic, let  students write 20 words associated with it. Students classify the words good for introduction, body, and conclusion. They write about the picture using the words listed adding adjectives, prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.</p>\n<p>8. <strong>Selfie</strong> - Using the internet, students research on this most popular word nowadays. They search for its meaning, purpose, history, benefits, disadvantages, well-known personalities doing it, etc. Then they write a blog about it and put it on line.</p>\n<p>9. <strong>Travelogue</strong> - After reviewing the different cities of the world, engage the students in discussing orally the city/cities they like to visit or have visited. They will include the purpose of their tour, companions, preparations, cost, length, places visited/to visit, interesting events, general impression, desire, souvenirs, people, food, culture, etc. Then students write their travelogue.</p>\n<p>10. <strong>Starting Up</strong> - How will you advise someone to join face book. Write the detailed procedure in logging in.  Include the problems one may encounter in doing the work. Define every term used in logging in.</p>\n<p>11. <strong>My Ultimate Dream</strong> - With the help of incomplete words, let your students fill this up which they can use later on in  one of their titles for this writing activity. Successful  S__ __ __ __ ___,     an award-winning  __ __ __ __  s ___, well-known &nbsp;a __ __ __ e__ ___, a great  __ __n __ __ __, a renowned _r__ __ __  ___, an accomplished __ __s__ __ __ __ __ __ __,</p>\n<p>12.  <strong>An Imaginary Experience</strong> - To tap the wild imagination of students, they will be tasked to write an imaginary experience may it be fantasy, adventure, romance, science fiction, etc. involving 3 or more characters. The students make their own title as well.</p>\n<p>Have you picked one writing activity for your students? Could you share with me later how your students responded to it?

First, decide what you\'re going to teach and then find students to teach this to. And to ensure high rates of pay, what you should teach is something highly specialised. ','<p>This is the second instalment in my series of \'online English teacher\' blogs. <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-online-english-teacher\">The first blog focused on an introduction to online teaching and how it can dramatically change your lifestyle</a>.</p>\n<p>The major concern for prospective online English teachers is usually \"how do I find a student?\" The thinking goes on the lines of, I\'ll get a student, then I\'ll work out what to teach them. Finding students this way means you\'re likely to end up teaching some kind of general English lessons which are usually harder to plan because there\'s just so much you could teach them, and you\'ll get lower rates of pay because you\'re teaching something very general.</p>\n<h3>First, decide what to teach</h3>\n<p>We advocate flipping the traditional approach on its head. First, decide what you\'re going to teach and then find students to teach this to. And to ensure high rates of pay, what you should teach is something highly specialised. This gives your teaching time a high value to the student, and high value equals high rates of pay. It\'s what we call Niche English.</p>\n<p>Put yourself in the student\'s shoes: imagine you are a Japanese doctor carrying out medical research at a university in Tokyo but, to carry out your work effectively, you need to understand the latest published papers in English-language medical journals, and understand seminars delivered in English at medical conferences held around the world.</p>\n<p>If you could find someone to teach you the English necessary to understand the language in medical journals and in seminars at medical conferences, you\'d be prepared to part with a lot more cash than if you were being taught how to order a meal at a restaurant.</p>\n<p>A 10 week course in Medical English would be a high value product. The teacher teaching it would be filling a much-needed niche.</p>\n<h3>Niche English Courses</h3>\n<p>What other English language niches are there? Well, the list is potentially endless. Here are a few ideas for niche English courses:</p>\n<p>Academic writing courses<br /> Exam preparation courses<br /> Legal English<br /> Medical English<br /> English for airline cabin crew<br /> English for computer scientists<br /> English for Spanish speakers<br /> English for football players<br /> Giving presentations in English<br /> English for engineers<br /> English for taxi drivers<br /> English for customer service representatives</p>\n<h3>What niche can you fill?</h3>\n<p>I\'m sure you can come up with many more niche English ideas. In fact, why not carve out a niche based on your own personal skills, experience and knowledge?</p>\n<p>Do you know a little of another foreign language? What work experience do you have? What special skills or hobbies do you have? Do you have a bit of experience working in medicine? Do you know a little Thai? Then how about offering a course in Medical English for Thai doctors and nurses.</p>\n<p>I focus on teaching English to Russian speakers, because I know a little Russian and I understand a bit of the culture and history of the place because I used to live in Moscow. But I\'ve recently taken on a more specialised niche, preparing 17 and 18 year old Muscovite students for their school-leaving examination in English, examinations which, because they determine whether or not they will enter one of Moscow\'s top universities, are life-changing.</p>\n<p>This makes my lessons high value, and the parents of these students will pay premium rates.</p>\n<h3>Free from the tyranny of the physical</h3>\n<p>Physical language schools have a major disadvantage compared to the online English teacher: their student catchment area is limited by physical distance.</p>\n<p>Within that catchment area, too few people will want such a highly specific English course, so it won\'t be economically viable to a language school.</p>\n<p>However, online teachers aren\'t constrained by physical limits. Online teaching means we can teach anyone, anywhere. And because we often teach on a one-to-one basis, it means we can aim at highly specialised niches. And because of social network groups and special interest websites geared to specific groups of people, it means they can find us, and we can find them.</p>\n<h3>Exam preparation</h3>\n<p>Exam preparation lessons are another highly lucrative area to focus on.</p>\n<p>Every year, millions of people all around the world are taking English language examinations, so it\'s big business, with some language schools charging high fees to prepare students for these exams. Students are willing to pay these high rates because success on these exams can change their lives.</p>\n<p>They can determine whether or not they gain entry into university, whether or not they are granted work permits and visas to move to another country, and whether or not they climb the next rung on a career ladder in a multinational company. Exam preparation is therefore a high value product.</p>\n<p>There are a wide range of internationally recognised examinations for English: IELTS and TOEFL results are used by universities in English-speaking countries to determine whether or not  an applicant\'s level of English proficiency is good enough for admission to a course; TOEIC and FCA are also widely recognised as measures of a student\'s communicative competence.</p>\n<p>There are also English exams related to business English, such as the BEC and the BULATS. There are also examinations related to specific professions, such as the Test of Legal English Skills (TOCLES). Go into any book shop in Thailand and check out the English language section: you\'ll see shelf after shelf straining under the weight of coursebooks dedicated to helping students prepare for these exams. You can help them too.</p>\n<h3>Finding students</h3>\n<p>So, you\'ve decided what to teach. Now you need some students to teach it to. And the thing about teaching a niche is that it\'s easier to find students. If you were to teach general English, where would you go to find your students?</p>\n<p>Essentially, everywhere, so your voice gets lost in the crowd. But if you\'re going to teach a niche, then you have a much more focused market to aim for, and you can find those groups through the Internet: special interest groups on social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn are a great place to find students, as are non-English-language social networks such as Vkontakte in Russia, Mixi in Japan and Weibo in China.</p>\n<p>This is particularly the case for exam preparation: there are social network groups, discussion boards, discussions on YouTube and websites full of students crying out for help preparing for exams. All it takes is for you to spend the time to get involved, contribute to discussions and get yourself known, and you will find people contacting you for lessons.</p>\n<h3>Niche English teaching is a win-win-win.</h3>\n<p>You win because you get paid more for your time.<br /> The student wins because they learn English that is highly specific to their needs.<br /> The English language teaching profession as a whole wins because teachers act as specialists, not generalists.</p>\n<p>So decide what you are going to teach. Think about what you know, think about your experience and think about what you want to teach. Decide on your product, then offer it to specific groups of people who really want it, and who will pay high rates of pay for a high value service.</p>\n<p>For more tips and advice, <a href=\"http://www.theonlineenglishteacher.com\">please visit my website</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Charles Cornelius</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/online1.jpg','2015-01-13 02:08:11',1,'2015-01-13 02:08:11','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24162,10,'Eight days in Korea (part two)','eight-days-in-korea-part-two','New Year spent in a freezing cold Seoul.

Here is perhaps an \'alternative\' and quirky overview of all that we experienced in the city and what went in to making it one of our best trips ever.</p>\n<p>Here is part two of my trip report. (<a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/eight-days-in-korea\">Read first instalment</a>)</p>\n<h3>Getting around</h3>\n<p>Whenever I travel abroad, I\'m something of a serial vacation planner and I think the best starting point is always a city\'s transportation system. Once you\'ve become au fait with the subway system, the whole city is accessible - including all the major attractions and perhaps even a few neighborhoods where your average Joe Tourist doesn\'t venture into. Seoul, Korea is no exception.</p>\n<p>Doing my online research, I read reviews on several sites that rated Seoul\'s metro system as \'the best in the world\'. It\'s certainly clean, modern, convenient and covers the vast majority of the city - but I wouldn\'t go as far as calling it the best in the world. The signage at some of the busier stations - particularly when you have to change lines - is often confusing or non-existent. And even though almost every station has an information desk, they were rarely ever staffed.</p>\n<p>I was desperate for a simple, fold-out map of the whole subway system (something that beats any smartphone travel app any day of the week) but maps were only available from information desks. That\'s if you could find a member of staff to hand you one.</p>\n<p>Truth is, your typical Seoul subway commuter doesn\'t need to have face-to-face contact with anybody. You can buy single tickets and stored-value cards at vending machines all over the station and use those same machines to top up when your card runs low.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Signage problems aside, one thing I will certainly praise the Seoul subway for is its safety. During the whole trip, we must have used the system at least forty times and not once did we see a drunk, a druggie, a vagrant, a beggar or a group of menacing-looking teenagers. People are at subway stations for one reason - to catch trains!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The subway systems in Barcelona, Paris and Prague (three cities we\'ve holidayed in recently) are all excellent - as good as Seoul\'s in fact - but by jingo, do you need to keep your wits about you. The Paris metro is full of organised gypsy gangs and pickpockets (very often children) In Prague, you can\'t buy a ticket from a vending machine without some homeless alcoholic offering to assist you for the price of a cup of tea. And in Barcelona, commuters, particularly tourists, are sometimes mugged on the platforms in broad daylight. We saw it happen THREE times in just four days.</p>\n<p>I\'m convinced you could travel around on the Seoul metro with your entire holiday money sticking out of your back pocket and all you would get are kindly Korean citizens pointing it out to you.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea5.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Seoul is very much a shopping city and every main subway station has its own shopping mall with a couple of dozen retail units selling snacks and coffees to go and cheap-end, \'impulse buy\' clothing and cosmetics. With freezing temperatures outside, many of the shops were doing a roaring trade in hats and scarves. But whether you are there to buy or browse, the subway station malls make a very pleasant ten-minute diversion on your way to catch the train.</p>\n<p>You won\'t need to venture far on the Seoul metro either, although I guess it depends which area of the city you are staying in. As I pointed out in part one of this trip report, we stayed in an apartment just a few minutes walk from Chungmoro station. To see all that we wanted to see in Seoul, we started at Chungmoro and never had a journey of more than five stations!</p>\n<p>I must end this section on public transport by highlighting another aspect of Korean culture that truly fascinated me.</p>\n<p>As on any metro system around the world - including Bangkok - the Seoul trains have designated seats for pregant women and the elderly. What happens in most places is that an elderly person will get on board a train and stand there for a few awkward seconds until the fit and able-bodied person occupying one of the \'special\' seats decides to get up and offer it to the needy.</p>\n<p>This does not happen on a Seoul subway train.</p>\n<p>When an elderly commuter gets on, they make an instant bee-line for the designated seating area and if you\'re a young or middle-aged person occupying one of those seats, then you had better shift your arse pretty damn quick. If you dawdle or you\'re engrossed in the music on your MP3 player, you\'ll receive a sharp tap on the shoulder and a fierce scowl from an old Korean gentleman. The scowl translates as \'you\'re young. I\'m old. This is my seat. Now MOVE!\'</p>\n<p>Oh, and what\'s also interesting is how the metro system positively encourages passengers to stand two abreast on escalators. There are even signs on the wall warning the public not to move quickly on the moving staircase. There is none of that worrying about which side of the escalator to stand on - particularly during rush hour - and none of that fear of being shoved in the back by a businessman who\'s late for his morning meeting.</p>\n<p>I kind of admired that gentle, \'don\'t hurry, be happy\' attitude towards the daily commute to and from work. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Thais everywhere</h3>\n<p>On our first night in Seoul, not wishing to push ourselves too much after the journey (and the stress of being locked out of our apartment) we took a stroll to Myeong-Dong, Seoul\'s premier and busiest shopping area. As we walked around taking in all the new sights and sounds, I heard a couple and their two children chatting in Thai. Then another couple. And then another. Was this Seoul, Korea or had we been magically transported back to Bangkok and a new ice age had set in?</p>\n<p>My wife had told me in the past that Korea was a popular destination for Thai travellers looking to go abroad for a New Year break. But I didn\'t realise just how many there would be. It was a strangely surreal situation.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea6.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Those who live in Thailand, particularly Bangkok, will be familiar with the LINE chat program and all the stickers you can send to friends featuring the antics of Brown, Moon and Coney. In Thailand, everyone uses the LINE chat app.</p>\n<p>Well in Seoul, they have now opened an official LINE store with shelves and display cabinets rammed with LINE paraphernalia. Mouse-mats, mugs, dolls, key-rings, fridge magnets, notebooks, you name it.</p>\n<p>The store was heaving. Shoppers jostling elbow to elbow to fill their baskets. And yet look around you at people tapping away on their smartphones and there\'s hardly any Korean people who use the LINE app to chat with their friends and colleagues. Unbelievable I know but almost every single customer in that LINE shop was Thai. Isn\'t that incredible!</p>\n<p>My wife spends a lot of time on the popular Thai discussion forum pantip.com. There are large sections of the website devoted to travel, particularly Japan and Korea. Thais share travel tips online and help each other out with advice on what to see and do, etc. However, most Thai travellers do Korea as part of an organised tour group. What\'s really amazing is just how cheap they get it for.</p>\n<p>According to my wife, tour packages from Thailand usually include the return flight with Air Asia or a similar low-cost airline AND several nights at a decent, centrally-located three-star hotel. Not only that, they will also have a busy schedule of organised coach trips. And the whole package can be cost as low as 10,000 baht per person! (a little over 300 U.S dollars) No wonder there are so many Thais there.</p>\n<p>As you would expect, there isn\'t a great deal of profit for the tour operators in these packages so everything has to be done rather \'on the cheap\'.</p>\n<p>I learned that for Thai package travellers, one of the half-day coach trips includes a stop-off at a Korean strawberry farm (December and January is the height of the Korean strawberry season) where Thai tourists are encouraged to wander around the fields looking at strawberries (no, it isn\'t my idea of fun on a freezing cold day either)</p>\n<p>But here are the rules! You are allowed to eat THREE strawberries and three strawberries only. I don\'t know what punishment or fine is dished out for those who scoff a sneaky fourth when the farmer\'s back is turned but three is the maximum. Oh the joys of package tour travel!</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea8.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>A cosmetics paradise</h3>\n<p>Not all Thais go to Seoul on some sort of package tour though. Again my wife had to educate me on matters I knew little or nothing about. There is apparently a growing number of Thais - often young women - who are invading Seoul with thing on their mind - cosmetics!</p>\n<p>Everywhere you look there are discount cosmetic stores, with prices about a third of what you would pay in Bangkok. Thai \'kitchen table\' entrepreneurs have latched onto this. Travel to Korea, fill a 30-kilogram suitcase with face masks and creams and lotions that weigh next to nothing. Then sell them online and to friends back in Thailand and rake in the profits. It\'s proving to be a very lucrative business for many.</p>\n<p>I was in awe at the \'salesmanship\' that goes on at these cosmetic stores. I thought the sales staff in Hong Kong were good. In Seoul, they\'re in a different league.</p>\n<p>Most, if not all shops, will place a member of staff outside in the street. It\'s their job to lure in the punters. Often dressed up as a cutesy cartoon character, they will hand out a free gift (a small sachet of skin cream or something) and gently persuade the casual browser to enter the store. Once the potential customer is inside the shop, one of the in-store sales staff will take over. They\'ve got you!</p>\n<p>The whole sales process is beautiful to watch - and my wife was a prime target. Firstly she was Thai and secondly, she had come to buy cosmetics in bulk. It\'s as though the shop assistants have a sixth sense for it. They are never pushy and never aggressive. They follow you around the store with a little basket so the customer has both hands free to choose goods and every time the customer takes an interest in something - there\'s suddenly an offer on the table. Buy a pack of ten face masks and we\'ll throw in another pack of ten for free. Buy this gift set of five bottles of hand lotion and we\'ll pop another gift set in your bag just to say thank you for shopping with us.</p>\n<p>You start off as a casual browser and you end up leaving the shop with more bags than you can physically carry. As I said - the sales techniques are something to behold. And you\'ll like this - the shop assistants can even quote prices in Thai and use basic Thai language expressions. They know which side their bread\'s buttered.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea7.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I hate to admit it but from a man\'s point of view, I was disappointed in Seoul\'s shopping. There are far too many of these cosmetics shops and most of the clothing stores are geared towards women as well. Hey! what about us fellas?!</p>\n<p>Although I think in general that Seoul makes a nicer city-break than Hong Kong does, I enjoy the shopping in Hong Kong more because it\'s a terrific place for quality, affordable men\'s clothing.</p>\n<p>You won\'t hear any complaints about shopping in Seoul from my wife though. And I now know what it\'s like to lug 40 kilograms of cosmetics through Bangkok Airport.</p>\n<p>In the third and final instalment of this trip report, I\'ll concentrate on Korean food and things to see and do in Seoul itself.&nbsp;</p>','','2015-01-14 00:06:12',1,'2015-01-14 00:06:12','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24186,88,'The lowdown on Chonburi','the-lowdown-on-chonburi','A perfect fit for a teacher who wants to be near Bangkok and beaches.','Chonburi is not a tourist destination for a reason. There just isn\'t much to do here. However, you can experience a very \"real\" side of Thailand.','<p>I have noticed several job postings for Chonburi on ajarn.com. Just like I once did, you might be wondering what the hell Chonburi is.</p>\n<p>Before I moved to Chonburi for the English teaching job I was placed in, I tried to research the city. After bullying my teaching placement agency into placing me by the ocean, I found that Chonburi was indeed located by the sea. But all I could really find about the city itself was that it was an industrial city, read: lots of factories and smog.</p>\n<h3>Convenient</h3>\n<p>Having lived in Chonburi for two months, I truly appreciate it here and I am glad to have gotten the chance to immerse myself in this cultural, yet convenient city. For those of you considering a job here in Chonburi, I\'ll give you the lowdown.</p>\n<p>First of all, there are two Chonburis in Thailand. There is Chonburi city or meung Chonburi (but be careful using meung; with the wrong intonation it can also mean a very rude \"you!\"). And there is the Chonburi province within which Chonburi city is the capital.</p>\n<p>As for the industrial side of Chonburi, the smog is, of course, considerably less potent here than in Bangkok. As of 2006, the population was a total of 180,000 people (wikipedia), so the city itself is rather small. The factories are all an hour\'s drive away from the schools, totally avoidable.</p>\n<h3>Nightlife and beaches</h3>\n<p>The nightlife in the city is nonexistent. There are a few scattered bars around, but there isn\'t much happening. However, getting to Bang Saen is an easy 30-40 minute, 20 baht song-thaew ride. This is where bars and night clubs breed. Try getting a Thai local to take you instead of ganging up with exclusively foreigners. Otherwise you may find yourself in a club full of high school students.</p>\n<p>Bang Saen is also the closest beach to Chonburi. No, it is not a pristine, island beach. But if you\'re craving sand, sea and sun, it\'s there. However, if you are hypercritical about your beaches, Koh Lan, Koh Si Chang and Koh Samet are within an hour, two hours, and three hour drive via white van.</p>\n<p>Getting to Bangkok is an hour to two hours, 70-100 baht white van ride, depending on the insanity level of your driver combined with the level of traffic (avoid rush hour). You can go to Bangkok every weekend if you want to. Basically, Bangkok is yours without the added expense of living in it.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of teaching jobs in Chonburi. I have already picked up three different extra tutoring jobs on the side of my day job without really trying.</p>\n<h3>Apartment living</h3>\n<p>Lumpini Condotown, where I live, is infested with foreigners, compared to the rest of Chonburi. You\'ll probably see at least one new foreigner each week. This is a good place to live if you\'re looking for a teaching job because the other foreigners will help you with job connections.</p>\n<p>At 5000 baht a month, you get your own studio apartment with balcony, bathroom, bed and mattress, couch, desks, wardrobe, TV and chairs. If you\'re lucky you might also end up with a microwave and mini-fridge. The resort-styled complex has a pool, gym, restaurant and laundry service. There are security guards on duty 24/7. However, there are many other cheaper places to live in Chonburi.</p>\n<p>I grew up in Suburbia and went to college in a small college town, so I really don\'t expect much out of my city. I found an awesome yoga class (the best yoga I\'ve ever done even though it\'s all in Thai), two pretty parks for running, a health-food store and a restaurant that serves macaroni and cheese and I feel set.</p>\n<h3>Friends and travel</h3>\n<p>I also love my school and have made a good community of friends here, both Thai and foreign.</p>\n<p>I have a vast selection of destinations I can easily travel to every weekend which include national parks, historic sites, temples, beaches, islands and more. There is a gigantic, westernized mall a ten-minute song-thaew ride away and there are Thai night markets within every mile.</p>\n<p>Chonburi is not a tourist destination for a reason. There just isn\'t much to do here. You will find yourself frequently stared at as one of few foreigners. However, you can experience a very \"real\" side of Thailand. On the east coast of Thailand, you will be immersed in a unique Thai culture but you will also have access to more than enough tourist destinations and amenities.</p>\n<p><strong>Cassie</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://cassieraelah.tumblr.com/\">Visit my website.</a></p>','','2015-01-16 06:37:00',1,'2015-01-16 06:37:00','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24190,87,'How to survive in Pattaya if you\'re not a sex tourist (or if you\'re a woman)','how-to-survive-in-pattaya-if-youre-not-a-sex-tourist-or-if-youre-a-woman','You can escape the unsavoury aspects if you truly want to','I came to Pattaya because of the ocean.

I saw pictures of what looked like paradise, and thought I could live a life of quiet contemplation.</p>\n<p>Of course, anybody who has ever been here and taken one whiff of the beach knows how different reality is from the pictures. Pollution and rotting garbage not withstanding, it\'s still possible to find a clean and quiet spot on the beach, as long as you\'re willing to get off the beaten path. What is harder to avoid are some of the activities of the people in this area.</p>\n<p>What offends me most about Pattaya is not the environmental pitfalls, but the endless and excessive display of an over-sexualized culture. It\'s filled to the brim with very old, rude and (mostly) white guys who line themselves up against the beach-front bars and cafes, waiting to pick up or be picked up.</p>\n<p>The culture of prostitution is so prevalent, it makes it uncomfortable to just be a woman alone in a bar. I rarely ever go to Walking Street or Beach Road, but I still see the buying and selling of sex much more often than I\'d like. While I\'m a believer in the philosophy of \"live and let live,\" I also would like my everyday life to not leave a bad taste in my mouth. So, I make every effort to live in and enjoy Pattaya without being a witness to the sex trade.</p>\n<p>One of the ways I\'ve been able to live here for months without getting sick of this culture is by making sure I stay off the beaten path as much as possible. Of course, the beaches along the center of town are the most popular, as that\'s where all the action is, but the north and south ends have even better beaches with less crowds.</p>\n<p>While it is a fun experience for a tourist, I see absolutely no value in shopping or hanging out around Walking Street. The prices are inflated, the crowds are insufferable, and you\'ll walk away from the whole experience wondering why you put yourself through it.</p>\n<p>Instead, I recommend the quieter sides of town, such as Jomtien. There are even some parts that have open beaches, without the umbrellas and chairs. Instead of paying 50 Baht for a chair and rubbing shoulders with other tourists, you can lay down a towel on the sand for free and spend hours with a good book, listening to the waves or watching the sunset. Most importantly, Koh Larn is only a short and very cheap ferry ride away.</p>\n<p>It\'s also very important to remember that nightlife exists outside of Walking Street and central areas!  You don\'t need to be in the center of town to enjoy a nice cocktail with friends (or alone). There are cafes and/or bars alongside most residential areas. There\'s a blues bar near Pratumnak that I frequent with friends. Not once have I seen a prostitute or go-go dancer. Just normal people, enjoying an evening out.</p>\n<p>In the end, what I\'ve found is that if you\'re willing to forgo much of the \"bright lights\" of the city, you can lead a fairly peaceful life near the beach. There\'s always the option to go completely wild, should you ever want a break from all the quietness. But living somewhere is very different from visiting, and I\'m glad to finally have a routine which helps me live here in relative isolation from the debauchery of this town.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Want to read more of my stuff?&nbsp;<a href=\"http://allyouseeislights.com/\">Check out my personal blog site</a>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-01-17 06:35:24',1,'2015-01-17 06:35:24','2015-01-17 20:08:25'),(24218,10,'The folly of travel and doing cities by numbers','the-folly-of-doing-cities-by-numbers','I don\'t know why we do it but we do','There was an uneasy silence.

My wife and I just looked at each other. Two people that were about to do something that felt so wrong yet so right at the same time.</p>\n<h3>Cobblers to The Louvre</h3>\n<p>There we were standing in Rue Mouffetard, in the centre of Paris, and we felt like we had made one of the craziest decisions in our lives. We had decided not to go and see The Louvre Museum. It felt ridiculous. It felt liberating. Everybody who comes to Paris has to go and see The Louvre. It\'s just the way it is. But not us.</p>\n<p>An article on the internet had started to change the way I viewed overseas travel - especially to major European cities. Titled &lsquo;Why do cities by the numbers?\', the basic message was &lsquo;why traipse around museums if you\'re not a museum person?\' I couldn\'t agree more. It just took me far too long to realize it.</p>\n<p>We had dutifully walked around The Prado Museum in Madrid two years before - simply because everyone else did. All the guide-books say that if you haven\'t done The Prado, then you haven\'t been to Madrid. The building houses one of the finest collections of art in the world.</p>\n<p>But after twenty minutes, the museum feels hot and stuffy. I keep getting in the way of other tourist\'s photographs - and I\'ve seen one sixteenth century flabby arse and one bow and arrow-toting cherub too many. I begin looking at emergency exit signs and half wish a fire would suddenly break out.</p>\n<h3>A sense of foreboding</h3>\n<p>I knew deep down that The Louvre in Paris would be a similar experience. Yes, I really wanted to see The Mona Lisa and that statue with no arms, but did I want to queue around the block for a couple of hours to get in and then end up viewing the most famous painting in the world from a distance that made it look smaller than the average tea-towel. The answer was no.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/paris.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Paris is of course the classic &lsquo;city by numbers\'. From the moment you check in to your hotel, or in our case, Marie-Francoise\'s place on Rue Buffon, it\'s a stressful race against time to tick off all those &lsquo;must-sees\' - Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, The Pantheon, The Arc de Triomphe, The Champs Elysees and The Sacre Couer at Montmartre. And you can\'t do The Sacre Couer without stopping off at the famous air vent in front of The Moulin Rouge and trying to recreate that famous Marilyn Monroe pose (always difficult when you\'re wearing jeans)</p>\n<p>Having too many things to see makes it feel instantly like you\'ve lost control of your holiday. Vacation spirits start to flag and it becomes impossible to do things at a pace that\'s anything less than hectic.</p>\n<p>The days are planned and mapped out for you whether you like it or not. It\'s just a case of finding out how to get to each attraction and deciding the best order in which to see them in.</p>\n<h3>Let down again</h3>\n<p>And a city\'s &lsquo;must-sees\' are all too often a huge disappointment.</p>\n<p>Topping the list of great big fat let-downs, I would have to insert Anne Frank\'s House in Amsterdam. Now I might not be a museum person but the Anne Frank House is something I had wanted to see for years. Even though I\'ve never kept a diary myself, the story of a whole family hiding from the Nazis in a secret room behind a book-case, had always intrigued me. And so it became the first of Amsterdam\'s attractions to tick off on the must-see checklist.</p>\n<p>A quick look at the comments on Trip Advisor then before heading off.</p>\n<p>\"Buy your tickets in advance\"<br />\"Don\'t go during school holidays\"<br />\"Be prepared to queue twice around the block\"<br />\"Get there early just as the sun comes up\"</p>\n<p>I\'ve already gone off the idea completely. Why don\'t we just amble around the Red Light District and sit in one of Amsterdam\'s brilliant coffee shops, order a drink and one of those funny cigarettes and just watch the world go by?</p>\n<p>But queue for Anne Frank\'s House we did. You like to think you\'re going to see history coming alive and the house preserved just as how the Nazis left it but to trek around the rooms becomes a dispiriting experience of endless signage that screams &lsquo;No photos\', &lsquo;No eating and drinking\' and &lsquo;No entry\'. And every exhibit, every grainy black and white photograph and every article of clothing is displayed behind perspex screens covered in tiny scratches and glass show-cases that could frankly do with a good clean.</p>\n<h3>That\'s the way to do it</h3>\n<p>Prague in the Czech Republic is another example of a city that you feel compelled to do by the numbers. You can stand on the banks of the River Elbe and watch a whole tourist population shuffle down to the St Charles Bridge and then shuffle back up to the castle and so on and so forth. Everyone\'s swept along by some sort of invisible force.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/prague.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>After a quick trip to the over-rated and hugely underwhelming Prague Castle, I said to my wife \"enough!\"  - grabbed her by the hand, jumped aboard the first tram heading towards the outskirts of town and we wandered around for hours in a Prague neighborhood where tourists fear to tread.</p>\n<p>We ended up in a dingy, back-street Czech restaurant where we couldn\'t understand a word of the menu but the owners greeted us like long lost family and we had a six-course feast for pocket change. Now that\'s the way to do a city!</p>\n<p>One place on my bucket list that I\'d still like to visit one day is Cairo in Egypt. And you know those great big triangular-shaped constructions located on the outskirts of the city? Well, I might go and see them.

A friend who visits the city once a year said you \'could feel it\'','<p><br />It\'s nearly a year since the marching and parades on the streets of Bangkok which saw the subsequent military coup take power in May 2014.</p>\n<p>At the time, I felt safe in my sleepy village but wondered what economic impact it would have on Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Expat exodus</h3>\n<p>Since then, a lot has come and gone but one thing that is evident is that many expats have left. That\'s evidenced, albeit anecdotally, by the number of houses up for rent and the way the prices have lowered in my mooban alone.</p>\n<p>I predicted that international schools would be hardest hit and for some of my colleagues, their schools were forced to hire local teachers (by \'local\' I mean those expats who were already here and were contemplating moving on to greener pastures).</p>\n<p>Some of my teacher friends were the ones who gained as the overseas hire was often a no-show - or the school simply didn\'t bother looking abroad in the first instance.</p>\n<p>The visa rules and tightening of existing laws has made everyone feel uneasy. There\'s nobody in my circle of friends and colleagues who hasn\'t got a tale to tell of the \'shakedown\' - a euphemism for \'crackdown\' Tales of being stopped by the authorities and searched in central Bangkok. Very often in broad daylight.</p>\n<h3>Anxiety</h3>\n<p>On various Facebook forums, there is a disturbing level of expat anxiety - whispered questions being asked constantly about visas, overstays, teaching licenses, etc - all with different opinions and answers because the truth is that there is no definitive answer.</p>\n<p>Everyone has been treated differently; with the \'rules\' being open to interpretation. Some might say this was always the case. Maybe that\'s true - but more often that not, it always felt like the rules fell in our favour.</p>\n<p>The physical signs are still there; the military has been replaced by a heavier police presence on the streets. In the days after the coup, the military presence made me feel uneasy but as the days have passed, it is less and less evident that we are under martial law and a coup.</p>\n<p>You see the occasional car-bumper sticker that says \"I Love The Thai Army\", as a reminder of who is in charge. The radio stations talk of \'bringing back happiness\' and in a way it has - but not to all sectors.</p>\n<h3>What\'s changed?</h3>\n<p>There\'s still something missing from Bangkok. The vibrant heartbeat has dulled like an old man with angina. The Khao San Road bars pack up dead on midnight with people scurrying to bring down their shutters with a palpable fear that has left tourists bemused.</p>\n<p>Soi 11 Sukhumwit is nowhere near as busy as it once was, with restaurants and pubs evidently suffering from the tourist downturn.</p>\n<p>A friend, who visits once per year, commented on the changes. As an experienced lover of Thailand, she saw the above first-hand and said it was more than noticeable. She said you <em>\'could feel it</em>\'.</p>\n<p>Driving back from the city late at night, there are road-blocks set up, with police searching cars and passengers. The tensions are still here. Embassies worldwide still advise caution in their Thailand travel advice. The UK embassy in Bangkok has asked all Brits to email if they have been stopped by police.</p>\n<p>But for me, juggling life as both a teacher and a working mom, life pootles on.</p>\n<p>The day to day grind of the traffic jams, fumes and street food belie what really may be happening. There\'s been no significant change to our lives. It still feels uncertain.</p>\n<p>I guess we are all waiting for the next installment.

Being bilingual opens up so many more doors in life.','<p>Bilingualism is ever more common in today\'s world. Globalisation makes it easier for people to travel and work overseas. Therefore the opportunity for people from two completely different cultures to find each other has never been so easy.</p>\n<p>Giving a child the chance to learn multiple languages from an early age is one of the most amazing gifts a parent can give. Being bilingual opens up so many more doors in life, but it isn\'t just the job opportunities that are created.</p>\n<p>Bilingual children, not only do better at school in languages, but they also do better in education in general.</p>\n<h3>Research studies</h3>\n<p>Research has shown that bilingual children often out perform their monolingual peers purely on the basis that they are better able to focus and ignore distractions during lessons. These higher concentration levels are often found in bilingual adults, especially those who became bilingual at an early age.</p>\n<p>The training of the brain during the early years enables adults to filter out irrelevant information and stimuli. Learning multiple languages from birth also promotes cognitive functioning in the brain. It is for this reason that bilinguals tend to be better problem solvers and are able to multitask more effectively.</p>\n<p>Research by Dr. Kuhl at the University of Washington, using imaging equipment such as MEG, shows that bilingual babies are \"more cognitively flexible\" than monolingual babies.</p>\n<h3>Adult language learning</h3>\n<p>It is common knowledge that language acquisition becomes more and more difficult as we age. Many adults do not even attempt to learn new languages as they assume they have no chance of succeeding. Whilst it is harder, it isn\'t impossible.</p>\n<p>Memory recall degrades as we get older but more significantly it is the way in which we learn languages as adults that makes them more difficult to pick up. Babies are able to easily switch between languages purely on the basis of tone and intonation. A baby\'s brain is simply more &lsquo;geared-up\' to acquire language.</p>\n<p>More &lsquo;language acquiring\' brain cells exist for this sole purpose. Millions in fact. This higher volume of active language cells allow babies and young children to distinguish between several hundred different sounds and tones. As we get older we lose this ability and learning new sounds alone, can be incredibly difficult.</p>\n<h3>Techniques</h3>\n<p>Adults, unless particularly gifted, use a comparison technique to learn and recall; translating from their native language into their second language. This is slower and often takes much more practice (often many years). Grammatical errors as a result of direct translation are commonplace and difficult to overcome.</p>\n<p>Whilst we may eventually achieve fluency, we are often inhibited from ever being able to truly sound like a native in the second language.</p>\n<p>Much research continues to be undertaken on the bilingual brain as a contributor to the delaying of the onset of Alzheimer\'s disease and dementia. It has been discovered that bilingual adults have denser brain tissue and the brain structure in terms of connectivity is very different.</p>\n<p>What is most interesting about this recent research is that the biggest difference appears to be in adults who became bilingual from birth up to 5 years of age.</p>\n<p>There is another aspect however, neither related to health nor academic achievement. The learning of a second language can teach children about diversity and different cultures.</p>\n<p>They are more likely to understand the often conflicting cultural differences that many adults are never able to truly grasp. Understanding and acceptance of all people and their beliefs are arguably amongst the most important traits and characteristics that our children need in today\'s world.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>David Walters</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">Head of British Early Years Centre</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-01-21 05:25:41',1,'2015-01-21 05:25:41','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24227,21,'The Burning Question - Do you have to attend school events?','the-burning-question-january-2015','Teachers give their opinions on a teaching in Thailand issue','This month\'s burning question is \'what is your school\'s approach to making teachers attend extra-curricular activities and secondly, what is your attitude towards them?\'','<p>I thought it might be an interesting idea each month or so to feature a couple of common teaching in Thailand-related questions - and find out what teachers have to say. Welcome to The Burning Question.</p>\n<p>Ok, now for this month\'s questions.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><span>One of the biggest complaints that foreign teachers have about their job in Thailand is being asked to participate in weekend school activities, often with no remuneration. It might be a sports day, a parade or some other student competition, but it can often mean a teacher giving up part of their precious weekend. So there are two questions I would like to ask teachers on thi</span><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">s topic.<br /><br />1) What is your school\'s / employer\'s attitude towards making teachers take part or be present at extra-curricular school activities? Are you expected to attend? Is it frowned upon if you don\'t?<br /><br />2) What\'s YOUR opinion of being made to attend these events? Do you not mind because you consider it part of the job? Do you flatly refuse if it\'s in your own time? Do you agree to do X number of events per year and no more</span></p>\n<hr />\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span><span>If you consider yourself a real educator and care about the responsibilities that come with a teaching position then one should be involved in the extracurricular activities schools have. Typically teachers are on a monthly salary and whether it\'s writ</span></span><span><span>ten in their contract or not, teachers are expected to help or plan with certain activities as are they in North America.&nbsp;The attitude of \'its not my job \' or let the Thai teachers do it is just childish and selfish and irresponsible. It wouldn\'t work in a western school and doesn\'t or shouldn\'t work here.&nbsp;To flat out refuse to work or plan with the rest of the staff would end your employment in my school. Teachers need to take their responsibilities seriously and hopfully have fun in doing so.&nbsp;I\'ve been on both sides of this, one as a teacher and one as a school owner.&nbsp;I have excellent staff who go above and beyond what we ask and more importantly we don\'t need to ask.<br />Thats my opinion. <strong>(Chris)</strong></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span><span><span><span><span>The work conditions in my contract state that a certain number of weekends must be worked each year. Simple as that.&nbsp;</span><span>My contract also says a number of teaching hours, I generally teach less than those specified. But I do take work home and work more th</span></span><span><span>an the contracted hours.&nbsp;To be honest I look down on the people who clock in at 7:50am and out at 4:00pm (our official hours).&nbsp;I don\'t mind camps and competitions because I get to spend extra time with the students - not as a classroom teacher but as more a carer or adviser.&nbsp;I enjoy working with my students. The intrinsic rewards are more important than money.&nbsp;We do get looked after when possible, staying in nice accommodation when away and occasional lunches. <strong>(Nick)</strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span><span><span><span><span><span>I would like to point out the obvious that all the extracurricular activities are what make a good school great school. Sports and drama and all of the meets and competitions that schools and districts have are what kids look forward to. Think of how many schools here do not have organized activities. Where would you rather work or have your own children attend? Schools with or schools without these activities? They wouldn\'t happen without the hard work and cooperation of all the staff and their participation.&nbsp;It gets teachers out of the classroom and you will most definitely see different sides of your students. Cheer them on.. embrace it.<strong> (Chris)</strong></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span>I am not required to attend most functions though I am invited. If there is something I am able to do for them, I am happy to do it. Generally, we foreign teachers are more extra baggage than participants. I have attended some and skipped others. If they tell me I must attend, I do. <strong>(Roy)</strong></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\">If I\'m not getting paid for it, I\'m not doing a thing for the school outside my regular contact teaching hours. There\'s no such as a free lunch from this teacher. <strong>(Steve)</strong></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span>Seriously how many holidays do you get for this Buddhist day and that Buddhist day. Count them up and see if you actually work at all. <strong>(Shayne)</strong></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span>What is your purpose as a teacher if you are not participating in school activities? It\'s part of your job description. You want to become an essential part of your school community, not some stranger who just drifts in and out of the school whenever you have lessons to teach. <strong>(Lance)</strong></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span>It\'s in my contract to do these extra-curricular activities if needed - with no extra pay. <strong>(Marc)</strong></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span>I\'m paid extra and told well in advance. It\'s not ideal, but it\'s not often the school asks for this sort of thing. <strong>(Troy)</strong></span></span></p>\n<p><span class=\"text_exposed_show\"><span><span>Our contract states we may be asked to help and take part in extra-curriculars and we should participate in them as much as we can. Most are done during school time and take no extra prep work. However certain competitions do take the extra time to tr</span></span><span><span><span>ain. We distribute the prep work for them among the foreign teachers and its up to the teacher how much time they want to spend training the student. We all usually end up training for something we enjoy though. If the extra-work requires teaching (like an English Camp) on a weekend, I won\'t do it without a guarantee of compensation. Since our students don\'t have many opportunities for clubs and activities like I did in the States, I don\'t mind helping them for the few that they have. If the extracurriculars became excessive though, I would probably speak up. What I do get a bit irritated with, is being told to attend an event on a weekend the day beforehand. If they want me to attend, they should give earlier notice, but that is just one of the things I have learned to live with here. <strong>(Caitlin)</strong></span></span></span></span></p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you would like to send us your opinions and answers, please use the \'Post Your Comment\' form at the bottom of the page and I will add your words to the main text, along with your first name.

It\'s your first day of teaching and you\'ve just finished introductions.</p>\n<p>Your heart races as you fumble through your lesson plan. Every second that passes feels like an eternity. Every eye in the classroom burns through you.</p>\n<p>They wait...and wait...</p>\n<p>And then you deliver. Horribly.</p>\n<p>We\'ve all been there. We\'ve all had the first-day jitters as new teachers working for a school or language facility. We\'ve all fumbled over grammar points or have been unable to answer a student\'s question on the spot.</p>\n<p>After all, many of us come from non-teaching backgrounds. We were once roofers and mechanics, HVAC technicians, bankers, members of office staff or fresh out of college. To learn all the intricacies of the English language in just 4-6 weeks is unrealistic. It\'s the theories and methods of teaching we absorb. The rest, as they say, comes with experience-and a bit of due diligence on our part.</p>\n<p>But there are a few tricks that we could use to help us keep our cool under the pressures in this foreign field. Here are three:</p>\n<h3>1. Remember to Breath</h3>\n<p>Don\'t forget to breath. Whenever we slip up in the classroom and lose momentum, we feel it inside. What we feel inside we tend to show. Our students will pick up on that feeling.</p>\n<p>I experienced this during one of my first corporate gigs in Bangkok. I opened up my lesson poorly. I tried too hard to have fun. And it didn\'t work. Instead I became flustered, which sent me down the wrong path for the rest of the class. The energy was off. I knew it. The students knew it.</p>\n<p>It was only after a few more mishaps that I learned to reset and to refocus myself, to breath - mindfully.</p>\n<h3>2. Learn to Laugh at Ourselves</h3>\n<p>If we can\'t laugh at ourselves, no one could. No, that\'s not true. People will still laugh at us. So it\'s best not only to learn from our mistakes but to laugh at them too. Thais love to have fun. If we can turn our mistakes into jokes, our students will appreciate the good humor.</p>\n<h3>3. Be Honest with Ourselves and With Our Students</h3>\n<p>I learned this bit of wisdom from my TEFL course trainer. If we don\'t know the answer to a question, we shouldn\'t lie our way through the answer. We can simply tell our students we\'ll find the answer and get back to them.</p>\n<p>By doing this we show ourselves in a positive light, that we too are human, and despite being a native English speaker, that we don\'t know all the answers. It also closes the student-teacher gap, bringing us closer to our students as we are now able to learn with them.</p>\n<p>After all, this is what teaching is all about. It\'s about learning English with our students, not dictating it at them.</p>\n<p>As Joseph Joubert once said, \"To teach is to learn twice.\"</p>\n<p><strong>How do you deal with being a new ESL teacher?

It didn\'t take us long to see why. In the more heavily-populated areas. streetfood is everywhere you look. The Thais love it, the local Koreans love it (particularly the younger generation) - and we couldn\'t get enough of it!</p>\n<p>It\'s said that if you are in town for just a short holiday, there is no need to set foot in a Korean restaurant at all. You can survive quite nicely on streetfood alone. &nbsp;And while I\'m sure many budget travellers do just that, the streetfood in Seoul actually isn\'t that cheap. It\'s appreciably more expensive than in Bangkok, but you do get heartier portions and the quality is on another level altogether.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>My wife\'s favourite footpath nibble was the jumbo-size chicken satay, cooked to perfection on a charcoal grill. The expression \'melt in your mouth\' didn\'t do it justice. I had never tasted meat so succulent and so full of flavor. But at the equivalent of 80 baht a stick, certainly not cheap. Fortunately a couple of sticks was all you needed for a full belly.</p>\n<p>My own streetfood favourite - and health freaks should look away now - was the deep-fried potato scallop. That alone is bad enough if you\'re a calorie counter, but just to make sure you get the full \'grease and fat\' overdose, once cooked, the scallop is rolled in chips until it resembles a caveman\'s club. Then the whole thing is covered in a great big dollop of tomato sauce. All that remains is for you to find a quiet doorway, where you can enjoy your midnight snack in peace without putting most of it down your best sweater.</p>\n<p>While we were in the Insadong suburb of the city, we noticed a largish queue of both locals and foreigners had formed at one particular stall. Whatever they were making - it had to be good!</p>\n<p>Again, something from the deep-fat fryer, this was a crispy pancake with a liquidy filling that tasted of cinnamon. Not unpleasant at all - but oh boy was that filling hot! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea10.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>We didn\'t limit ourselves to streetfood though during our stay. We were intent on trying a few of the local restaurants because neither of us had much experience with eating Korean food. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>There are plenty of local restaurants to choose from and they are all very reasonably priced. Two people can eat well for 500-600 baht (with a drink each) All you need to do is wander around the side-streets to find them.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Choosing a restaurant isn\'t difficult because more often than not, the restaurant owner or a member of staff will choose the restaurant for you. The moment you start perusing a menu outside, a member of staff appears. They are never pushy or aggressive, they just know that you probably need help and guidance. And they do a fine job. I was always impressed with their \'salesmanship\'. &nbsp;They will explain the different Korean dishes to you and highlight any special set menu packages (often menus are not written in English) And all the restaurant staff we encountered were so friendly and pleasant. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea08.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We generally ate in three distinct types of local restaurant. The first was what I would call \'a set menu place\' where you would be served a selection of perhaps a dozen different dishes including the ubiquitous kimchi &nbsp;(some of the dishes we liked and some we didn\'t) Then there were the more a la carte joints which would often specialize in one dish, be it a sizzling hot plate of spicy beef with assorted vegetables or a hot pot of seafood covered in cheese. Finally - and very popular with locals - were the \'beer and chicken\' restaurants. As the name suggests, you would be served a chicken platter with a variety of chicken wings and drumsticks cooked in different ways and that acted as \'finger food\' to accompany your ice cold glasses of draft beer.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Things to see and do in Seoul</h3>\n<p>When my wife told colleagues that we were doing eight days in Seoul, they were surprised, bordering on flabbergasted. Those who had been to Korea before all said the same thing - \"you will struggle to fill four days in Seoul let alone EIGHT. There really isn\'t that much to do\"</p>\n<p>Well I\'m still not sure if these people went to the same city and lord knows what they do in the name of research, but we managed to fill the time effortlessly. In fact there was so much we just didn\'t have time to see.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea13.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/the-folly-of-doing-cities-by-numbers\">I recently wrote a blog on the topic of \'doing cities by numbers\'</a> - the idea that when you travel to a new place as a tourist, you make a list of all the must-sees and dutifully tick them off one by one. It\'s something I\'ve become tired of doing because very often the most popular attractions can be a huge let-down. And this was very much the case with The&nbsp;Gyeongbokgung Palace. I hate to trot out that tired old line of \'you\'ve seen one temple, you\'ve seen them all\' but it really was nothing special. Throw a few hundred Chinese tourists into the mix, all being shepherded along by their flag-waving tour group leader, and you\'re destined for a somewhat forgettable experience.</p>\n<p>Top of the list of things to do in Seoul - at least according to Trip Advisor - is the War Memorial and Museum. And this certainly didn\'t disappoint. Rather foolishly, we left this until our last full day in Seoul and with still a number of things to see, we were forced to cover the museum at breakneck speed and certainly didn\'t give it the time or respect it deserved.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea14.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Before I go any further, can I just give a hearty pat on the back to the South Korean government for making all their museums free to enter. None of that dual-pricing bullshit that\'s so prevalant in Thailand. The museums are all free. Fantastic!</p>\n<p>At the War Museum, you could easily spend an hour or two just wandering about outside, admiring the impressive war memorial and posing for photos amid the extensive display of tanks, jeeps, planes and all manner of military transportation and weaponry. I\'m no war buff but show me a man who doesn\'t enjoy getting behind an anti-aircraft gun and imagining himself shooting down a few enemy drones.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>You then need at least another couple of hours to walk around the museum building. There are sound and light shows, interactive displays, wax models showing off historical military uniforms through the ages, three-dimensional battle fields, etc, etc. I couldn\'t have been more impressed. There was an awful lot of pride in this museum - and rightly so. &nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea12.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>A fun place to visit - and a great way to pass an hour - was Seoul\'s Seeing Eye Museum. It\'s a collection of small scale, two and three dimensional displays that you literally step into to create photographic illusions. You can dance with a movie star, be eaten alive by a shark, escape a rampaging flood or be part of a fairy story. You get the picture. The Seeing Eye Museum is much more enjoyable if you have an outgoing personality and you don\'t mind making a prat of yourself while other folks wait for their turn to make a prat of themselves.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/korea11.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Without doubt the highlight of our trip to Seoul was The Seodaemun Prison - built to house Korean prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation. How this place doesn\'t even make Trip Advisor\'s Top 20 things to do in Seoul is too baffling for me to contemplate. The place was just incredible.</p>\n<p>We couldn\'t have chosen a better day to do the prison. A light covering of snow, sub-zero temperatures and hardly a leaf on the trees - it was about as bleak as it gets and it created a perfect atmosphere. The ghosts of the past were all around you from the desperate isolation of the exercise yard to the interrogation and torture rooms and the cells where thousands of prisoners died of frostbite during the freezing winter months. It was an unforgettable and moving experience. Please don\'t miss Seodaemun Prison if you get the opportunity to go to Seoul.</p>\n<p>We both gave Seoul 10/10 for an overall holiday experience.

Thai football is on a high, so why not get involved?','<p>The Thai football season returns on 14th February, and for many it is a chance to rekindle their love with the beautiful game. Following the Thai National Teams win in the Suzuki Cup (South East Asian Champs), and current Kings Cup tournament, Thai football is on a high, so why not get involved.</p>\n<h3>What to Expect</h3>\n<p>Overview</p>\n<p>Thai football is fun, and provides a low cost and enjoyable way for Westerners to take part in a recognizable but very much Thai influenced event. Prices are low, you\'re watching football, the temperature is warm, there are normally lots of pretty girls around - and the atmosphere is very friendly.</p>\n<p>Also you will meet real Thai football fans who watch live Thai football , not people who change clubs 5 times a year, shout \"Man U\" or \"Liverpool\" randomly, or think watching games involves going to  a bar,  eating, playing on their phone and reacting to a goal a minute after it goes in.</p>\n<h3>Prices</h3>\n<p>Prices are cheap. Normally between 100 - 200B depending on whether you want a seat or a roof (useful in wet season). Beers is priced around 65-90B, but isn\'t available at all grounds. As always there is great food at rock bottom prices. There is no stadium price hike here. Snacks from 20B, full meals from 35B. Football for 500B including your ticket, beer and food. Value!&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Atmosphere  / Crowd</h3>\n<p>Some clubs are better than others, but it is normally noisy and fun, with school sports day cheer practice coming into its own. Expect drums, loudhailers, cheering and most of the crowd in the team kit and very little anger that you can get in Europe.</p>\n<p>The crowd is very mixed and friendly, up to 50% female, so expect to see more pretty girls than you\'ve ever seen at a football match before. Attendances are as high as 25000 for some games, and lower than 250 for others, so the atmosphere varies. As a farang, you will be in the minority, but Thais will love you for going.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tf2.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Getting There</h3>\n<p>If you have a car or motorbike, it is easy. If not, then a taxi will be easy to get there, but not so getting home. Some stadiums have public transport, but how and where you get it is not advertised in English.</p>\n<h3>When are Games?</h3>\n<p>Weekend games take place on Saturday &amp; Sunday evenings depending on the team, kicking off between 4pm and 8pm. There are also regular games on Wednesday nights if once every 2 weeks isn\'t enough.</p>\n<h3>And the football?</h3>\n<p>As with most things Western here, it looks similar but isn\'t quite the same. The quality isn\'t as high as the top leagues, but it is good enough and it is competitive.  The heat and humidity means games can be slow in tempo, but at the top end of the TPL you will find good quality games. Thai players are technical and skillful, but Thai refereeing is neither. You have been warned.</p>\n<h3>Who should I go to watch?</h3>\n<p>As always, you should support your local team. If you live in Buriram, home of Champions Buriram United, or Chonburi, home of the Sharks, unlucky runners up last season, then you\'re in luck.&nbsp;Good crowds are found at Suphanburi, Thailand\'s 2nd best supported team who do well every year and play in front of big crowds, or Chiang Rai, Ratchaburi, Sisaket and Korat Swat Cats.</p>\n<p>In Bangkok, there are a lot of clubs, some more watchable than others.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a supporter who likes success and supporting a big club, Muang Thong United are the club for you. Based at Impact Arena (at the 18000 capacity English style SCG Thunderdome), they are established Trophy winners, and home to some big stars and big crowds with \"Ultras\" providing great noise.  Thailand\'s Captain and best player play there, as well as overseas stars.</p>\n<p>If you are not a glory supporter, and like a  \"no one likes us, we don\'t care\" attitude, Thai Port FC are the club for you.  Based in Khlong Toey, close to the MRT Station (30B on Motosi), their ground is basic, cheap, atmospheric and edgy. Although sometimes their fans go too far, the atmosphere is English style, and they have a good number of farang supporters.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/tf1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Bangkok United are another centrally located club. Based at Thai Nippon Stadium in Din Daeng, near BTS Victory Monument (40B on Motosi). They are home to half British and half American Thai players, and ex Championship players, as well as the TPL\'s most excitable management duo. The ground isn\'t great for atmosphere, and no beer is allowed inside, but they did very well in the second half of last season, and have big names sponsors. Could do well this year.</p>\n<p>If you live in Minburi / Lad Krabang area, BEC Tero Sasana are your team.  They won the Toyota League Cup last year, and are home to the next Thai superstar Chanatip (Messi J) and exciting Westerner Gilbert Koomson. Be warned their ground isn\'t easy to get to.</p>\n<p>Despite the name, Thai FA Cup winners Bangkok Glass play in Thanyaburi. The \"Glass Rabbits\" (seriously) have a great 3 sided stadium (seriously), excellent facilities, team \"bunny girls\" and some good players. If you live closeby, why not.</p>\n<p>If you don\'t live near a team mentioned, find who your local team are and go to a game. Even teams in Division 2 Regional Leagues can have crowds up to 2000 and good Western players. The most it will cost you is 500B, and you could find something  that you love and look forward to every week.</p>\n<p><strong>Steve</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Good websites for fixtures</strong><br />www.thaipremierleague.co.th<br />www.thai-fussball.com</p>\n<p>For more reading on the Thailand football league, <a href=\"/ajarn-street/hot-seat/dale-farrington\">Ajarn.com did a hot seat interview</a> with Thai footy expert, Dale Farrington, back in June 2014</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/footy.jpg','2015-02-08 05:52:14',1,'2015-02-08 05:52:14','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24410,59,'Teacher talking time','teacher-talking-time','What happens if the teacher does a lot of talking in the classroom?','As an English teacher, when I teach, I see to it that my students do more of the talking in class rather than I doing it because I am already good in the language.','<p>Hey, friends. Let me ask you a question. How do you consider yourself as an English teacher? Are you the teacher who talks most of the time or one teacher who lets students do more of the talking?</p>\n<p>So what if we teachers talk a lot? What\'s wrong with that? After all we are knowledgeable, credible, and persons of authority. On the other hand, what good does it bring if students do most of the talking?</p>\n<p>As an English teacher, when I teach,  I see to it that my students do more of the talking in class rather than I doing it because I am already good in the language. I don\'t need practice to the expense of my students. The students need it very much. I serve only as a facilitator and a model in pronouncing and reading. But after that, the students can do the talking.</p>\n<p>Students need more practice in speaking for most of them don\'t have enough stimulating conditions to practice the language at home.</p>\n<p><strong>What happens   if the teacher does a lot of talking in the classroom?</strong> Well, I thought of these ideas:</p>\n<p>1.	The lesson is teacher centered.<br />2.	The teacher gets tired easily especially when he/she has a lot of classes to teach in a day.<br />3.	Students have fewer opportunities to practice speaking.<br />4.	Students won\'t   easily understand the activities for teachers\' instructions are elaborative. <br />5.	The learners are passive.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, what good things does   minimal teacher talk bring?</p>\n<p>1. The teacher has more chances of monitoring students\' performance.<br />2. The teacher is less stressed.<br />3. Students are actively involved in the lesson.<br />4. Good teaching practice is reflected.<br /> 6. More student participation.</p>\n<p><strong>What kinds of activities give students more opportunities to speak a lot?</strong></p>\n<p>1.Pair Groups (Dyads) - Students work in pairs. With the given tasks, worksheets, or situations, two students converse with one another to achieve the teacher\'s purpose.</p>\n<p>2. Group Work - The class is broken into smaller groups. Each group does the assigned task while the teacher moves around to see what group needs assistance.</p>\n<p>3.Storytelling - After the story has been told, assessed, and enriched, it\'s the     students turn to tell      the story in their own language in their own understanding.</p>\n<p>4.Simulation Activities - With a certain topic, students actually execute the lesson as if it was real. For instance: Simulating a patient consulting the doctor because of an illness, etc.</p>\n<p>5.Language Games - Not merely fun games  but games about the lesson that involve language where students can acquire and practice English as they  listen and  speak. Games like, \"Did you see my cow?\" Who will run? Etc.</p>\n<p>6.Free Conversation - The teacher starts the conversation about what they did on weekends, holidays, or experiences about a recent happening and students share their ideas about the topic.</p>\n<p>7.Students acting as teachers - The teacher will relinquish his/her task and lets the good students do the facilitation of some activities in the lesson  like flashing cards, pointing to materials to be read by the classmates, scoring, or judging. <br /> <br />Yes, let our students do most of the talking in class by providing a lot of opportunities for real talking. \"Learning how to swim is actually swimming in the pool and not reading, listening, or writing about swimming.\"</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-02-09 18:56:00',1,'2015-02-09 18:56:00','2015-02-10 09:09:01'),(24423,71,'A free classical music concert in Bangkok?','a-free-classical-music-concert-in-bangkok','That sounded like something different to do','I recently stumbled upon an advert in Bangkok Magazine for a free symphony concert being held at Thailand Cultural Center near the MRT stop of the same name, and having never been to a classical concert figured it would be a great experience.','<p>I recently stumbled upon an advert in Bangkok Magazine for a free symphony concert being held at Thailand Cultural Center near the MRT stop of the same name, and having never been to a classical concert figured it would be a great experience.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been to many concerts, including a few here in Bangkok, but a full-fledged orchestra was a first. It was quite impressive!</p>\n<p>Typical of Thailand, the show started a bit late, but host Andrew Biggs did a fantastic job as always keeping the audience laughing and engaged. It was atypical of what I assume is a traditional classical concert as there was a good deal of Q&amp;A between the host (Andrew) and the various conductors and musicians showcased.</p>\n<p>Although my understanding of Thai is still far from fluent, I\'m sure most of what they were chatting about was interesting judging by the general lack of Facebook smartphone use by the audience.</p>\n<p>The theater is quite nice too. I noticed the funds to build it were a gift from Japan, and from what I saw there isn\'t a bad seat in the house. The acoustics were pretty good too, considering I noticed minimal microphone use for the orchestra.</p>\n<p>Pieces played included selections from Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and several Thai composers, and the young musicians (apparently aged 12-25) did, to me, an excellent job. Several vocalists including a Thai pop/rock star, a winner of Thailand\'s Got Talent, and a Thai opera singer assisted with several pieces with great success.</p>\n<p>To the best of my understanding, the concert was hosted free by the Thai government in some way as a \"gift\" to the Thai people, although it appeared to be largely an excuse for the Bangkok elite to show off their latest cosmetic ensembles.</p>\n<p>This isn\'t really surprising though; classical music isn\'t for everyone, and I didn\'t see this 3rd annual event heavily publicized.</p>\n<p>It was also a bit unnerving to walk in to the theater through all of the soldiers and police officers holding machine guns, as the event was attended by many big-wigs judging by all of the pomp and circumstance used throughout the show.</p>\n<p>Still, the experience was lovely regardless of the [likely political] intention behind it.</p>\n<p>I grew up playing piano (not well), so I\'m accustomed to classical music. Still, seeing it live is quite a different experience than simply hearing it.</p>\n<p>I\'m typically found at a rock concert if I\'m found at any, but the classical was certainly a nice experience! Considering these kinds of events typically come at a high cost, the fact that it was free to the public was certainly a nice touch.</p>\n<p>On that note, I understand Lumpini Park still has a free weekly Sunday classical concert series going on as well, although I haven\'t made it there yet.</p>\n<p>It\'s always interesting to find the things you can dig-up to do in Bangers...</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

The answers to those questions probably aren\'t all that different from lots of other foreign teachers here in this part of the world.','<p>Hey folks! Joko here, your senior Myanmar correspondent at Ajarn.com.  It\'s approaching one year since I left The Land of Smiles for the wild, final frontier of TESOL in SE Asia, and, as anniversaries often make one feel, I find myself more and more contemplative as the date approaches.</p>\n<p>I think about why I\'m here. Why I left Thailand. Why I left America in the first place. The answers to those questions probably aren\'t all that different from lots of other foreign teachers here in this part of the world.</p>\n<p>I came here for the midget ladyboy hookers.  Same as most of us, right?</p>\n<p>What? No? Okay, just kidding.</p>\n<h3>New experiences</h3>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest factor in my decision to uproot everything and move to another continent was a desire for novelty. I wanted to see something totally different. Live a whole new way. Experience a culture totally different than my own.</p>\n<p>When I first came to Bangkok, I found novelty in droves. I\'d walk around just experiencing the place. The foods, the sights, the smells, all of these were wondrously new and exciting. Even teaching English was new and exciting; I\'d never done it before.</p>\n<p>For all the readers who\'ve ever done this, you might know what I\'m talking about. I think as well that this desire for seeing something totally different is what drives a lot of new foreigners to come here as well. Any culture shock I was feeling was offset and compensated for by this really great feeling of how incredible and different everything was.</p>\n<p>Oo! Look at that! A roadside market! Ah, look at that incredible temple! Wow! There\'s a 5-foot long lizard just cruising the shallows of a city lake!  Cool!</p>\n<h3>Novelty wearing off</h3>\n<p>Over time, a lot of that initial enthusiasm wore off. I still felt it when I traveled outside of Bangkok, but as the months wore on and the city became more and more my home, the charm and exoticism of things like the tuk tuk, congealed pigs blood and the neighborhood mosque blasting prayers at 5:30 AM began to wear off.</p>\n<p>Bangkok became more and more like a dirtier version of Los Angeles and not the Shangri-La it felt like at first.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t the only reason, but me losing my sense of wonder about the place was part of why I left Bangkok a year ago. If I\'d chosen to move to another part of Thailand, I might have renewed my feeling of novelty, but as it turned out, I moved to Myanmar.</p>\n<h3>Rekindling the passion</h3>\n<p>In Yangon, I found that feeling again, and I\'m happy to report, a year later, I\'ve still kept it.  Sure, I\'ve seen the inspiring pagodas a million times. Yes, I\'ve ridden in taxis through insanely chaotic traffic more often than I can count. I\'ve wandered the busy, colorful, exciting open air markets filled with smiling faces every night on my way home. I\'ve seen Yangon and I\'ve come to know it.  Yet, it still surprises me. It can still leave me in awe whenever I leave the house. It still seems so new.</p>\n<p>Ironically, one of the odd aspects of being an expat in Myanmar has given me a whole new appreciation of Bangkok.</p>\n<h3>Back to Bangkok</h3>\n<p>See, a business visa here is good for 70 days; renewing it is near impossible. Consequently, the visa run is part of the expat\'s life here. Where do we go? Bangkok, of course. It\'s a little over a hundred bucks round trip via one of the budget airlines, so I\'ve been back to the Big Mango four times this last year.</p>\n<p>Each time I\'ve gone, I\'ve stayed in a different part of town. Even though there was no need (I could fly in and fly out on the same day if I wanted to), I wanted to experience a new part of Bangkok (naturally seeing old friends was a factor too), and so I\'ve stayed a couple nights.</p>\n<p>My most recent trip ended this morning, and I had a wonderful time. Things felt familiar, but different. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Combining temporal and physical distance from my old life there, it\'s like Bangkok is a whole new city again.</p>\n<h3>Myanmar is home for now</h3>\n<p>I\'m happy I\'ve renewed my contract for a year and a half. In the past 11&frac12; months, I\'ve seen so many changes here in Yangon. It\'s kind of like I\'m seeing the city and nation remake itself into a new place before my eyes.</p>\n<p>That\'s certainly part of why I\'ve been able to maintain that feeling of being in an exotic, new place here after a year, which I wasn\'t able to do in BKK. More importantly though is my mindset. I\'ve consciously chosen to continue to appreciate how different things are. I\'ve not assimilated yet, and whereas I recognize that doing so will be important if I choose to live here long-term, for now, I like being an extended newbie. I want to keep that feeling as long as I can.</p>\n<p>Lest ye become as little children, thou shall not enter the kingdom of wonder.</p>\n<p>I ask my fellow teachers who\'ve been here more than a few months but less than five years: do you still feel like you\'re in a new and exciting land? Does anything make you go \'Wow!\' anymore?  I think appreciating the novelty of a place is partly a conscious choice.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to cultivate mine as long as I can.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-02-18 17:02:48',1,'2015-02-18 17:02:48','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24485,83,'Perspectives','perspectives','It all boils down to how you look at things','As much as I love Thailand, I often find myself complaining about living here.

In fact, for many of us, life is quite easy in \"The Land of Smiles\". I think that is why we have chosen to stay for a while.</p>\n<h3>Exploring perspective</h3>\n<p>Whether you think of an event as good or bad depends on how you choose to look at it. Perspective is something that I often lose while living here, and so it is something that I have decided to explore.</p>\n<p>I think that everything in life comes down to perspective. No matter how great or horrible your circumstances are, within limits, it is what you choose to attend to that determines how happy you are.</p>\n<p>Recently, I went to the infamous Chaengwattana Immigration Office in order to have my non-B visa renewed. Despite having worked in Thailand for two years, I have so far been able to avoid going to Chaengwattana.</p>\n<h3>Fearing the worst</h3>\n<p>Based on what others had told me, I was not excited about the experience. I was told that it would involve three or four hours of asinine paperwork and that it would take over an hour to get to the office from Mo Chit due to traffic. However, the experience was pleasantly surprising.</p>\n<p>I arrived at the Mo Chit BTS station, and I decided to look for a van to immigration. I had been told to take an uber or taxi, but, as cheap as I am, I instead decided to try my luck.</p>\n<p>I asked a Thai woman how to get to immigration, she pointed to a van, and I got in. The van cost 25 baht, and I was at immigration within 20 minutes.</p>\n<p>When I arrived at the immigration building itself, I was surprised to find how clean it was. I had been to labor before, and I was expecting something similar. However, Chaengwattana immigration was clean and well-managed.</p>\n<p>Our school\'s lawyer had arrived early and we already had our queue number: #8. After a few minutes of waiting, we went to get my visa renewed. Of course I had to sign a few extra pieces of paper, but the process didn\'t take long.</p>\n<p>The only thing that took a long time was waiting for my re-entry permit, and that is because we got to the queue late. I was in and out of immigration within two hours, which, considering the enormous amount of people, was not long at all.</p>\n<h3>Obnoxious</h3>\n<p>Later, I told my friends about my experience. They first said that it was only easy since I had the lawyer there. I suppose that was helpful, but I had gone to get a non-B in Laos through an agency, and, even with the agency there, the process was quite obnoxious.</p>\n<p>I remember waiting for three hours before anyone at the embassy would even speak to me, and we had arrived early (around 6 am). And I noticed plenty of people at Chaengwattana without agencies, lawyers, or Thai teachers to help them. They seemed to be getting through everything smoothly.</p>\n<p>My friends also wondered how I could be resourceful enough to find a van. I did not understand what they were saying. Is it that difficult to learn enough Thai to ask for directions?</p>\n<h3>Speak the language</h3>\n<p>I understand that it is easy to get by in Bangkok without speaking a word of Thai, but I think that choosing not to learn the local language limits one\'s opportunities: not one\'s career opportunities, but one\'s ability to form relationships with other people and understand Thai culture.</p>\n<p>My Thai is quite poor considering how long I have been here, but I continue to struggle to learn because it seems to me that I would miss out on experiences here if I did not attempt to converse with the locals.</p>\n<p>If you view learning Thai as a pragmatic measure to increase your job opportunities, then it may not be useful if you are choosing to live in Thailand for no more than a couple of years. But thinking only in practical terms seems like a very limited way to live and view life.</p>\n<h3>Red tape</h3>\n<p>After speaking with my American friends, I decided to see what other people thought about Thai immigration. I asked my Filipino friends, and they talked about how much easier it is to deal with customs in Thailand than it is in the Philippines.</p>\n<p>One of my British friends explained how dealing with Thai customs compared to obtaining an American work visa, and the results were far in Thailand\'s favor. My American friends had never worked internationally outside of Bangkok, nor had they ever left the country for their visas, so, to them, Chaengwattana was the epitome of Thai bureaucracy.</p>\n<p>However, if you compare it to other possibilities, Chaengwattana is a pretty easy place to deal with and get to.</p>\n<p>Many of us foreigners, especially westerners, complain about things in Thailand, often for good reason, but I think that we can all use a little more perspective.</p>\n<h3>Benefits</h3>\n<p>Thailand certainly has its problems, but it also has great benefits. The people are friendly and community oriented, and the food is delicious. Many foreigners can afford to live in nice apartments (often with gyms and pools), eat out all the time (not always western food, but I am a big fan of Thai food anyway), take taxis everywhere, have occasional maid and laundry service, and fly throughout the region (thanks to local budget airlines).</p>\n<p>How many of us could say the same living in the West? Sure, you can go to the mall and look at all of the things you cannot afford, but what kind of mindset is that? There is always so much complaining going on, and I am certainly no stranger to it. It is easy to lose perspective, so I guess we have to do our best to fight against it.</p>\n<p>It all comes down to how you look at things. If you view yourself as an exile, then you will constantly live longing for home and hating the ways that things work differently, but if you view yourself as someone who chose to be here, someone with agency, then you will realize that opportunities here are yours for the taking.</p>\n<p>I am reminded of something that Isabel Allende wrote when she compared her experiences living in Venezuela and the United States (she is originally from Chile): \"When I compare my experience as an exile with my current situation as an immigrant, I can see how different my state of mind is. In the former instance, you are forced to leave, whether you\'re escaping or expelled, and you feel like a victim who has lost half her life; in the latter it\'s your decision, you are moving toward an adventure, master of your fate. The exile looks toward the past, licking his wounds, the immigrant toward the future, ready to take advantage of the opportunities within his reach.\"</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-02-20 03:28:08',1,'2015-02-20 03:28:08','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24490,88,'Thailand’s weirdest of the weirds','thailands-weirdest-of-the-weirds','Some of the quirkier aspects of Thai culture','I want to be as respectful as possible when I discuss Thailand\'s quirks.

I truly love this country and the people who inhabit it.</p>\n<p>Here are six of the more quirkier aspects of Thai culture.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cassie2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong>1.	Plastic bag fever</strong>. When making a purchase, everything goes into a plastic bag, or two, or three. You can tell the cashier mai ao ka or mai ao kop if you\'re male.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Line chaos.</strong> Lines are formed individually instead of by one single line.</p>\n<p>For example, at 7/11, if there are two checkout counters open, you choose which one to stand behind and wait. This can get frustrating when you choose the slow one and five people make their purchases before you who would have been behind you had there been one single line.</p>\n<p>In many women\'s bathrooms, I have seen individual lines for each stall. You might get lucky if the person in the stall you chose comes out fast or you might be waiting a long time.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	\"I love you\" as a cat call,</strong>&nbsp;is one of the better weirds. This is probably due to the fact that the catcallers don\'t know much English, but I\'m not going to consider that too much. I\'m going to savor the \"I love yous\" while I can before I go back to the gross stuff in native English-speaking countries.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	The footprints on the western toilets</strong>. A Thai toilet is in the ground. You step on it and squat. Apparently, a lot of Thais heavily prefer this method as they continue to step and squat on the western toilets made for sitting, evidenced by occasional footprints on the toilet seats.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	The Thai concept of sexy</strong>. As a native English speaker and non-Thai speaker, I cannot fully understand the Thai concept of the word sexy and I don\'t want to try to convey the US concept to my Thai teachers or students. But the two are very different.</p>\n<p>During the school day, my students and coworkers will tell me I look very sexy. Enter sound of nails screeching on a chalkboard. I think they might interpret \"sexy\" to be a combination of beautiful and cute, or at least that\'s what makes me feel better.</p>\n<p>I overheard one of the Thai teachers asking my male coworker, \"isn\'t she sexy?\" as she pointed to one of the young high school students. It\'s still kind of fun to laugh at each other\'s discomfort.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	Nose inhalers</strong>. I had never seen or heard of them before coming to Thailand.</p>\n<p>Many a Thai can be seen with these inhalers up their noses which are supposed to clear nasal congestion and help with nausea, fatigue and dizziness caused by smells. It looks really addictive so I think I\'m gonna skip out on this experience.</p>\n<p><strong><strong>Cassie</strong></strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p><a href=\"http://cassieraelah.tumblr.com/\">Visit my website.</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-02-24 07:30:21',1,'2015-02-24 07:30:21','2015-08-12 19:07:22'),(24559,89,'Building rapport in the classroom','building-rapport-in-the-classroom','How to get students to find out who you really are?','Let\'s face it.

And I\'m certainly not going to sugar-coat things, because after all, you wouldn\'t want it that way.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, let\'s really drill down those numbers.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Why 30,000?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is the amount that most of the people asking me the question will be earning - give or take a thousand or two. These days, it\'s very much an ‘average\' teacher\'s salary in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teacher placement agencies pay in the ball-park of 30K a month, as do most of the companies who specialize in hiring teachers from abroad for short-term teaching contracts (the latter are usually jobs for the ‘gap year\' crowd)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are of course plenty of teachers here earning far more than 30,000 baht (and plenty of teachers making less) but 30K is the amount we\'re going to play with.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Purely Bangkok</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>We\'re not concerning ourselves here with teaching in rural Thailand, where according to many old hands, \"money goes much further\" and \"you can live very well on 30,000\" etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have no experience of living and working out in the sticks so I\'m in no position to judge. I\'ve been in Bangkok for 25 years - over 80% of my adult life in fact - and for thirteen of those years I was an English teacher. Bangkok is all I know.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Credentials</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In all those years I spent standing in front of a whiteboard, I very rarely worked for a monthly salary. I mostly worked for language schools that paid by the hour and supplemented it with corporate work (also hourly paid)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I earned on average from 28K - 36K a month depending on the time of year and how busy the language school was.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In later years, I started to take on private students at home for a couple of evenings a week but the most I ever made in my 13 years of teaching was 46,000 baht in a single month. That felt like an awful lot of money back in about 1999 I can tell you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But times have changed since then.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What I\'m saying is that I averaged around 30-35K during my teaching career so I know what it\'s like to live on that amount of money - to pay rent, to feed and clothe yourself and to make annual trips back home, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>No two people are the same</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve constantly been fascinated by how different people handle their finances. By and large, I\'ve always worked with groups of teachers who earned roughly the same amount of money as me each month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And yet at every place I taught, there were always the teachers who could afford to spend the final weekend of the month away on Koh Samet - and there were always the teachers who were living on cup noodles and 2,000 baht pay advances in the final days of the month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s always important to keep in mind that no two people are the same when it comes to organizing personal finances.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for every teacher, it\'s all about living within your means. You can\'t live a 50K a month lifestyle on a 30K salary. I gave this advice out to teaching colleagues many times but it would invariably fall on deaf ears. Leopards never changed their spots.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Twitter feedback</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I asked some of my Twitter friends and followers how they felt about living in Bangkok on 30K a month. Admittedly some of those followers are not teachers, but they DO live in Bangkok. They still have a good feel for what it costs to live here.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some of the comments (tweets)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"You\'re never going to be able to afford to put your kids through school or visit home\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It must only be an existence. Not a future. Outside of Bangkok maybe doable but still not a long term plan for future stability\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\'s possible to live on 30K but have you come across the world to live worse off?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Let\'s not forget that 30K / month for a 10-month contract is actually 25K a month\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"30k is a young person\'s game for sure. I think we can all agree on that\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I loved my first three months here when I made 30K. But I\'ve steadily gone up the ladder, and couldn\'t go back\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Survive? - yes. Constantly worry about money? - yes. It wouldn\'t be for me\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That\'s just a selection of the Twitter feedback we had. There were also people who said they had no trouble living on 30K a month - but they were definitely a minority.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The majority wouldn\'t and couldn\'t imagine living on that amount.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>You\'ll be earning X times the salary of the average Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Taking home 30K a month, you\'ll be earning three times what the average Thai person earns. Or is it four times? Frankly, who cares? To me it\'s a meaningless comparison and always has been.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t care if I\'m earning four times what a factory security guard makes just as I wouldn\'t care if I were teaching English in Somalia and earning ten times as much as a Somalian goat-herder.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A Thai person has their own standard of living and a foreigner has theirs. You don\'t expect to live in the lap of luxury but you DO expect to be able to afford your basic needs and a few ‘treats\' on top. Otherwise, what\'s the point of being here?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Enjoy life by ‘living like a Thai\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Your 30K salary will go a lot further if you ‘live like a Thai\'. This is another pointless argument that comes up time and time again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Frankly speaking, when I was finding my way in the world, it was never my ambition to want to ‘live like a Thai\'. And you know what? - I bet most Thais aren\'t that keen on living like a Thai either. Most of them would love a bit more in the disposable income department.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m never completely sure what living like a Thai means. Does it mean eating street-food twice a day every day and only using the public bus service to go back and forth to your 2,000 baht a month apartment? Well, that\'s going to be fun.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Plenty of teachers arrive in Thailand with the romantic notion that they will exist by ‘going native\'. But the novelty very quickly wears off.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s also worth mentioning that anyone who has been here any length of time will have worked alongside the Thai office girl who pulls in barely 15,000 baht a month but always has the latest smartphone, manages to run a car and still has money left over to socialize and dress well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The numbers just don\'t stack up and this is because Thais often have the support of a family network. They sometimes live at home (so food and accommodation costs are zero) and when the car tax needs paying or there\'s a nice new handbag they\'ve got their eye on, they can dip into daddy\'s big pocket.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As foreigners, we just don\'t have that option.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Living costs</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s analyze potential spending and living costs in a bit more detail.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Accommodation</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s start off with what is surely a teacher\'s largest monthly expense - accommodation, be it a studio apartment, a shared room in a rented house or whatever.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Accommodation is an enormous grey area and nigh on impossible to put a figure on. I remember an old boss of mine saying that you should look to spend a third of your salary on a place to live and while I wouldn\'t suggest you spend 10,000 baht on rent, there\'s no doubt that some 30K a month teachers do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You may be ‘lucky\' and work for a school that provides free accommodation but that is not the norm in Thailand. In most cases, the teacher has to find their own place to live.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can rent a studio apartment in Bangkok for as little as 2,000 baht a month (but such apartment buildings can often be very grim indeed) while at the other end of the scale, there is no limit to what you could pay.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But I\'m going to take 6,000 baht a month as the average figure for something half-way decent. With electricity bills and other utilities on top, your final accommodation spend would come out at about 7-8000.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This leaves you with around 23,000 baht a month. That works out to just less than 800 baht a day to cover all of the expenses below.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not a great deal of money is it? Strap yourself in. It\'s going to be quite a ride!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Visa run costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is often an unexpected and unwelcome expense that new teachers have to accept. If a new teacher has to do a visa run to a Thai embassy or consulate in a neighboring country to obtain a non-immigrant visa, the cost of transportation, guest house, visa fees, living costs, etc can be considerable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes the employer will shoulder all or part of the costs involved, but very often not.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Food</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Again, this is another grey area. Some people like to eat well and others will skimp when it comes to spending money on food.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Quite a number of teachers are lucky enough to receive free school lunches (or at least heavily subsidized) but that still leaves you with breakfast, an evening meal and food at the weekend to find.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can save a fair amount of money by eating Thai street-food as much as possible (it\'s called ‘living like a Thai\') but street-food once or twice a week is more than enough for me. I prefer to cook at home. You don\'t save money but you do eat better.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s at the weekend where the teacher will likely gravitate towards the fast food joints (McDonalds, KFC, etc) or go in search of Western restaurants or better alternatives to the weekday school lunches and footpath offerings. And why shouldn\'t you treat yourself at weekends? If you can\'t afford to have a burger and fries whenever you fancy, what\'s the point in being here?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s call it 100 baht a day for food from Monday to Friday and 1,000 baht for the weekend. That doesn\'t sound like an awful lot to me but still amounts to 2,500-3,000 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So we\'ve fed ourselves for the month, we\'ve put a roof over our heads and we\'ve still got 20,000 baht left.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Getting to work</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Very few teachers are lucky enough to live within walking distance of their school and well done if you do! But for most teachers, there will be public transportation costs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok buses are cheap for sure - but you\'ll soon tire of standing on those in rush hour. Some teachers will opt for the mass transit systems (sky-train or subway) and some might even splash out on the luxury of a taxi, especially on a rainy October morning when you\'re running late for work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even taking the mass transit system to and from work will cost you 60 baht a day. Add 80 baht for a taxi. It really depends on your journey.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the last school I worked for, I had to walk the five minutes from my house to the main road in order to catch a taxi (taking the bus was far too much hassle) The taxi to the sky-train station would cost me 60-80 baht depending on traffic. Then my sky-train ticket would work out at about 30 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And of course I would do the reverse journey in the evening. 22 days a month. Total cost = 200 baht a day x 22 = 4,400 baht. That\'s just to get to work and back.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t think there\'s anything out of the ordinary about my journey to work there, but I do appreciate that it\'s now easier to live closer to the Bangkok mass transit systems. But I\'m still going to factor in 2,000 baht a month for transportation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We\'re now left with 18,000 baht of that original 30K salary.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Other supermarket costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Ah, here we go. I\'ve just returned from the supermarket. Let\'s have a peek into my shopping bags.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In terms of non-food items, I\'ve got bin-liners, floor cleaner, shampoo, hair-conditioner, shaving gel, air freshener......need I go on? I\'m not saying I buy this stuff every week but there are ALWAYS non-food items that you will need to buy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And as my friend Laura reminded me on Twitter - \"a female teacher is always going to spend a lot more than a male teacher on cosmetics, toiletries, etc\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m going to put a price of 2,000 baht a month on non-food items. We\'re now left with 16,000 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Health insurance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are living and working in Bangkok without health insurance, you should stop reading immediately and sort yourself out. A serious illness or motorcycle accident could wipe out your life savings in the blink of an eye if you don\'t have adequate insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand\'s daily English-language newspapers often run stories of someone lying in a Thai hospital bed, unable to pay his hospital bills and relying on the generosity of friends and family back home to get him out of trouble. You don\'t want to be that person.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think most employers in Thailand will arrange some sort of health insurance for their teachers - but it\'s very often the most basic package available. In some cases it won\'t cover those niggly out-patient visits, where you\'re not poorly enough to be hospitalized but certainly need to see a doctor.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to upgrade and arrange your own health insurance cover, you\'re looking at at least 1,000 baht a month. However, for the majority of teachers, they take their chances with whatever the school offers. Just stay off those motorcycles!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Weekends away</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are so many places to see in Thailand and everybody who lives and works in Bangkok needs a break from the concrete jungle now and again. And as I\'ve said several times already - if you can\'t afford to treat yourself to a weekend on a tropical island every so often, there\'s no point in being here.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Travel in Thailand is nowhere near as cheap as it once was. The days of the 50 baht fan bungalow right next to the beach are long gone. Very average hotels can easily cost a couple of thousand baht a night and you\'re always going to spend more on food, attractions and activities at ‘touristy\' places</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While it\'s impossible to put a price on the cost of a weekend away because we all have different standards of accommodation and travel, etc, I never find a short break down in Hua Hin costing me less than about 8,000 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Treating yourself</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I met up with a few old colleagues recently at a pub on Sukhumwit Road. Nothing fancy, I think the beer was 80 baht a bottle. However we bought a round of drinks each, which came to 320 baht per person. Then we adjourned to the most spectacularly ordinary Indian restaurant I\'ve ever been to, where starters, a main course and a soft drink came to an eye-watering 750 baht a head.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That was 1,100 baht spent on one ordinary night out on Sukhumwit Road. Just to re-cap, don\'t forget that after paying rent on your 30,000 baht salary, you are supposed to be ‘surviving\' on less than 800 baht a day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve always maintained that on 30K a month, there is little or no room left over for ‘treats.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A coffee and a muffin in Starbucks can cost well over 200 baht.\r\n	<br>A couple of drinks at a Bangkok roof-top bar could run you well over 500 baht.\r\n	<br>A full breakfast at a Bangkok British pub can be 300-400 baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The list goes on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s very easy to just say ‘oh well, I\'ll avoid those things\' - but why should you? What\'s the point if you can\'t treat yourself at least once or twice a week?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Oh, I forgot</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I haven\'t included a category for clothing, laundry and dry cleaning. You buy clothes, you wear clothes - and clothes need to be washed. They are all expenses that need to be factored in.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The annual trip home and emergencies</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In the mid-90s, I worked with a terrific British teacher named Robert. Everybody liked Robert - he was the life and soul of the teacher\'s room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One day his dear Mother back in London got sick and doctors told her she had weeks to live. Robert didn\'t have the money to fly back home to be at his mom\'s bedside in her final hours. He was one of those teachers who lived a 50K lifestyle on a 30K salary. Nothing was ever stashed away for a rainy day - or a family emergency just like this one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The situation was heartbreaking for all of us. Rob listened to his Mother die on the opposite end of a telephone line.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My own parents are well into their twilight years now - and with their health slowly deteriorating, my suitcase is always on standby to leave with me at a moment\'s notice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you never have to fly back to support a sick relative, then at least perhaps, you\'ll want to make the trip back home to see friends and family once a year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every time I go back to the UK for just a couple of weeks, plane tickets and spending money set me back about 100,000 baht. That\'s another 8,000 baht a month right there.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>And on a final note</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When I published this article for the first time, many Thai schools were breaking up for the end of term holiday. No more school for a couple of months - Hooray!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There were foreign teachers now looking forward to a lovely two-month holiday. On full pay as well! Life doesn\'t get any better than that. This is why we come to teach English in Thailand!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But hold on, there is a dark side. A very dark side - as one or two Ajarn Facebook page followers were only too quick to point out.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For every teacher looking forward to a semester break on full pay, there are Lord knows how many teachers facing a couple of months with no pay at all - very often, teachers who work for agencies on the dreaded ten or eleven-month contracts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As one teacher said on Twitter - \"I\'m now desperately scrambling around to find summer camp work. Or how can I pay my rent?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not good. Not good at all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And of course, if we do the math, a 30K a month teacher is actually only earning 25,000 baht a month if two months of the year are unpaid.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>In conclusion</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>No one is saying that you can\'t live on a 30K salary in Bangkok. Many teachers can and many teachers do. But is it living or is it just survival? Is it just an existence?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One thing is clear - the vast majority of teachers and those expats who don\'t teach, but live in Bangkok, will all tell you the same thing. Living on 30K in the capital is going to be very tough indeed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok is NOT the cheap destination it was in the early 90\'s when I first came here. Prices for everything have risen steadily, especially over the last five years.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There will always be those who disagree with the figures above. \"I spend less than that on food\" or \"I don\'t spend that much on transportation\" - but I don\'t think the figures are far out for the average person.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just be aware of your figures and realise that if you are thinking of embarking on a teaching career in Thailand, you could be living in Bangkok on just 25 US dollars a day.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living\">The cost of living guide - real Thailand teachers go into detail about how much they spend each month and what they spend it on.</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/help_and_guides/situation2.jpg','2018-05-02 20:38:00',1,'2018-01-07 20:38:35','2018-08-27 15:34:35'),(24582,86,'Class control','class-control','Tips on how to make your kids classes go smoothly','You need to know how to control kids better than they know how to control you. The way you control any class depends on what size class you have and also on the age of the children, but here are some tips on how to keep your class together.','<p>New teachers are often told \"not to smile until Christmas\". The idea is that once you lose a class it is very difficult to get them back, so it is imperative that you make sure that you know your students and how to deal with them, before you let your guard down.</p>\n<p>You need to know how to control them better than they know how to control you. The way you control any class depends on what size class you have and also on the age of the children, but here are some tips on how to keep your class together.</p>\n<h3>Be well-prepared</h3>\n<p>Getting your lesson well planned out and all your work ready is essential to keeping your class under control. If you spend time looking for books or fumbling through sheets of paper your children will get restless. If you have everything planned and ready the children will see a well-organized teacher that knows what they are doing.</p>\n<p>Don\'t give your children time to stop and think about talking or causing trouble. You can give them a break but keep it controlled. With time to sit around the children will no doubt find something else to do and it probably won\'t be something you like.</p>\n<h3>Keep lessons interesting</h3>\n<p>Just like we all hate boring staff meetings, children hate boring lessons. Make sure all the activities are pitched to the children and made as interesting as possible.</p>\n<p>If they like what they are doing, they won\'t want to ruin it. It may take a lot of planning time outside the class but if you are having control issues, it will save you the headache inside the class.</p>\n<p>Remember to differentiate work appropriately. Work set too high for struggling children will see them give up early and work set too low for your higher ability will see them finish early. The busier your students are the better. Make sure you always have something else ready for them to do.</p>\n<h3>Be fun and engaging</h3>\n<p>Body language and tone of voice are your best weapons when controlling a class. If your voice is dull it doesn\'t matter how good your lesson is, your students will be disinterested. Be energetic and entertaining.</p>\n<p>Show your students you care about them- Most children might not show it, but they actually want to learn. If you don\'t show that you have time for them, then they won\'t respect you.</p>\n<p>Similarly children that play up usually just need a teacher to support them.  You will get a lot more out of students when you speak to them like grown-ups and ask them why they are playing up.</p>\n<p>Even in Kindergarten I discuss matters like the children are adults. If you are too authoritative you will create combative relationships with strong willed pupils and no one wins from there. In the long run, shouting children down never works. The children will just become accustomed and then you will have no other cards left to play.</p>\n<h3>Rewarding good behaviour</h3>\n<p>Praising impressive work really helps children feel a sense of accomplishment. Sometimes it is hard to find things to praise about the more disruptive children but when you do, make them feel like they are worth something.</p>\n<p>Don\'t praise poor work but grab any opportunity to give helpful feedback and make the students want to do their best. Be careful not to over-praise as this devalues your feedback.</p>\n<h3>Be consistent</h3>\n<p>Probably the most vital piece of advice you can get. Don\'t let good students get away with bad behaviour just because normally they are good or that you know they won\'t get out of hand.</p>\n<p>The other children in the room will take note of this too. It gives them a reason to misbehave and a reason to think you are unfair. If you have a difficult class, don\'t allow them get away with little things.</p>\n<p>Controlling a snowflake is a lot easier than controlling an avalanche. If you are finding one child particularly difficult, focus on the rest of the group first until that child is misbehaving alone.</p>\n<p>Children often misbehave for attention, so if they lose the respect of the other children, then more often or not, they become less disruptive.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>David Walters</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">Head of British Early Years Centre</a>&nbsp;and Editor of <a href=\"http://beyc.co.th/blog/home/\">BEYC magazine</a></p>\n<div></div>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-03-02 03:41:04',1,'2015-03-02 03:41:04','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24613,52,'March 2015','march-2015','All the latest news and info from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Here we go - the busy hiring season is almost in full swing.

I do more. I go to more interesting places. I don\'t waste time waiting for public transportation - and I feel safer in traffic.','<p>After reading a tweet by Mr Ajarn.Com about driving in Thailand, I wanted to put forward my thoughts on driving in the Land of Smiles.</p>\n<p>I have owned and driven my car for nearly two years, living in the suburbs of Bangkok, driving both in the city and in the countryside, and despite many concerns from non-drivers in Thailand, it has been a mainly positive experience.</p>\n<p>However, as a passenger in taxis, minivans, motosis\' and buses before, I can appreciate the other side. This is why I think driving here is great.</p>\n<h3>Crazy&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>Firstly, if you are a public transport user, you are travelling on the same \"crazy\" roads, but without the control. You still have to get to the same places, but do so in less comfort, with more waiting and as rainy season approaches, the probability you will get wet, and the worry caused by a driver you don\'t know and seemingly has no concern for his own life.</p>\n<p>Driving may not look great, but against that competition it seems a good deal.</p>\n<p>When you say you are a driver here, most non-drivers will shudder with worry at what they see as lawless race tracks / death trap roads, and when I was a non-driver, I felt the same.</p>\n<p>However, in the driver\'s seat, with the help of your mirrors, it is very different.</p>\n<h3>Anticipation</h3>\n<p>I can\'t pretend that the first time I turned into a road to find a motorbike with 5 people on it driving the wrong way on the wrong side of the road without lights, it wasn\'t an eye opener. However, quite quickly, you get used to the idea of \"expect the unexpected\", and you learn to plan for it. When the policeman on his bike did it this morning, it felt quite normal.</p>\n<p>In the absence of signage, warnings and other \"safety\" features from the West, you take personal responsibility. My peripheral vision is now much wider, I see things that could be potential trouble a long way away, and avoid them. The crazy lorries, buses, racing cars, bikes, the lanes ending, the potholes and elephants I slow down, avoid, simple.</p>\n<p>Also, and if you aren\'t in the driver\'s seat, you wouldn\'t notice, but my average speed is a lot lower, normally around 50mph here, whereas in the UK on expressways it would be 70mph minimum.</p>\n<h3>Unwritten laws</h3>\n<p>Although the roads appear lawless, as with Thai culture in general, there are lots of rules which are known but seemingly not written anywhere.  Once you learn them, it really is fine. Yes it looks dangerous, but it\'s predictable and becomes natural. Yes traffic is bad, but not much worse than London. Yes there are horrendous accidents in the papers, but genuinely in my two years I have only seen one personally, on the other side of the road.</p>\n<p>It seems there are a large number of accidents at Songkran (when I don\'t drive through personal choice) and in the early hours of the morning (when I don\'t drive through personal choice). If I drove a motorbike, I would be a lot more worried about this, but touch wood, in a car, it is much safer.</p>\n<h3>Police stop</h3>\n<p>What about the boys in brown I hear. Again, this problem is not as advertised. The police ignore cars and minivans in favor of the serious criminals, motorbikes without helmets, pick ups without the correct strapping, lorries without paperwork, so as a car driver it is no problem.</p>\n<p>I have been stopped twice, both times when I had broken traffic laws in direct sight of a policeman. It has cost me 200B in \"on the spot fines\" so far.</p>\n<p>Financially, my car costs around 10,000THB per month, but as it runs on LPG it is very cheap to run. My weekly costs are the same that I spent on transport to school. Additionally I used to spend about 5,000THB plus a month on taxis to private work, friends, entertainment and others.</p>\n<p>Now I can do more other work and activities.</p>\n<p>When you factor in that cars hold their value really well here, when the car is paid off I will be in a better position, owning a saleable asset and having no costs.</p>\n<h3>Freedom</h3>\n<p>The final and biggest benefit is the freedom and independence driving a car gives you. If you want to go somewhere, you can, without waiting, without getting wet, without wearing headphones, with air con at a temperature I can control, without stressing about the suicidal van driver, or the taxi driver taking you round the houses. It\'s that simple and it is a joy.</p>\n<p>My life is much fuller and more varied since I purchased the car. I do more, go more interesting places, don\'t waste time waiting and feel safer in traffic.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know any Thai person who moans about safety of public transport. They buy a car. And I don\'t know anyone with a car who has gone back to public transport. Added to the above, I would say if you live here, can afford it and it would benefit your lifestyle, don\'t be put off.</p>\n<p><strong>Steve</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/driving1.jpg','2015-03-06 03:12:29',1,'2015-03-06 03:12:29','2018-04-15 03:03:24');

I was about to finish my herbal drink and get going, but this looked well worth sticking around for.</p>\n<p>\"A foot massage is 200 baht an hour\" said the owner in a low voice.</p>\n<p>\"But you haven\'t got anyone available anyway?\" replied the foreigner.</p>\n<p>\"No I\'m very sorry\" said the owner.</p>\n<p>\"Fucking waste of time\" - and with that, the foreigner stormed out of the shop, slamming the door behind him.</p>\n<p>The four of us watched through the large plate glass window as he made his way down the street, muttering to himself and clenching and unclenching his fists. I swear he looked as though he would punch the first person who walked past him just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.</p>\n<h3>What just happened?</h3>\n<p>The ordeal was over. The four of us looked at each other, waiting for someone to break the silence. Eventually the three Thais started to chat amongst themselves and ask questions of their own. What was the farang\'s problem? What had we done wrong to make him so angry?</p>\n<p>Time for me to practice my Thai. I tried to explain that the foreigner was not angry with this wonderful massage shop. He was probably angry with his environment or the situation that he has found himself in. I then tried to explain my &lsquo;paradise lost\' theory. I hope the Thai staff understood what I was getting at. I think they did.</p>\n<p>A good friend of mine, who has incidentally lived in at least a dozen cities around the world, once said to me \"there must be more bitter, disgruntled foreigners per square mile in places like Pattaya and Bangkok, than just about any other place on the planet\"</p>\n<h3>Paradise lost</h3>\n<p>I would totally agree with this. I\'m no sociology student but I have my own theory. I call it the Paradise Lost Syndrome - and I\'m sure a lot of foreigners suffer from it. In this country, I see them all over.</p>\n<p>These are the foreigners who came to Thailand for a vacation - possibly several vacations. Wow! What a country. Everyone is smiling at me. Everyone wants to be my friend. And everything just seems so cheap. Suddenly, life in a small-time, backward-thinking European town epitomizes everything that\'s wrong with the world. That\'s it! - I\'m moving to Thailand.</p>\n<p>The one-man plumbing or roofing business gets sold and fond farewells are said to family and friends.</p>\n<h3>A new life abroad</h3>\n<p>For the first few months, perhaps even years, Thailand is everything the new expat expected it to be. But eventually the reality of the hour takes over. And when it hits, it hits hard.</p>\n<p>The expat discovers that Thailand can drain your finances just like anywhere else in the world, especially if you only arrived with &lsquo;survival money\' in the first place.</p>\n<p>Work becomes hard to find if the foreigner has no special skill set. Teaching English is always something to fall back on but there isn\'t enough hourly work to go round and it barely pays the bills. And as the foreigner gets older, he becomes less &lsquo;marketable\' in a country where appearance is everything.</p>\n<p>It\'s then that Thailand becomes a paradise lost.</p>\n<p>This is why I think we see so many vile, cruel and personal attacks on Thailand-based expat discussion forums, website comment sections and Facebook fan pages. Things are said on these platforms that I\'m sure would never get said face-to-face.</p>\n<p>They are often just outlets for anonymous keyboard warriors to vent their spleen and get rid of some of that suppressed anger.</p>\n<p>I bet our friend from the massage shop went straight home and logged on to his favorite expat discussion forum before you could say \"I\'ve had it up to here with Thailand\"</p>','','2015-03-08 17:32:17',1,'2015-03-08 17:32:17','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24696,59,'Making students love English','making-students-love-english','Some activities that I guarantee keep students interested and wanting more!','I have successfully made my English room a good resource for learning English, a time for fun, where boredom has no place.','<p>Friends, once again, you and I will have a two-month break after a real tough semester. Some of us will enjoy it with sufficient money in our pockets (for those who have 12-month contracts) but some of us will spend it penniless (those who work with an agency) or at least receive &frac14; of their salary (those working with the Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project,).</p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, let having money not be a hindrance in earning new tricks to teach our students.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Have you ever encountered students rushing to your English room every time their class study period comes?  What makes them hurry so early to your room and feel very much reluctant to leave when you tell them the class is over?</p>\n<p>During the remaining months of the 2nd term this 2015, my Kindergarten 2 to Grade 6 students were so enthusiastic to come early to my English room. In their eagerness, they   would suggest activities they did on the previous days. The interesting thing too was that they were hesitant to leave the classroom even if time was over.</p>\n<p>Well, I knew for sure they did not hurry to see me nor wanted to stay longer because of me but because they were so excited to do the    activities, a reflection of their growing interest in the subject.   So, what activities did I do lately to make my students love coming to my room and enjoyed learning English?</p>\n<p><strong>1.	Purposive  Copying</strong> - Instead of letting my students copy notes the usual way - like plain  copying  after listening, speaking, and reading activities, I  let them copy  the teaching material in  form of an assessment.  I read at random the sentences to determine if they listened well, read well, and could spell correctly the vocabulary words studied. Instead of checking their work after all the sentences have been dictated, I checked each sentence right away.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Giving Motivation</strong> - During competitions, instead of merely assigning one, two, five, or ten points I give them   a hundred, a thousand, and a million points when their group answer correctly depending on the difficulty of the question. Other than this, I they present their answers in a very creative way using any material found in the classroom - dictionaries (  I have 15 small and 15 big English-Thai dictionaries), books, notebooks, folders, visuals, pens, papers etc.  for additional points depending on its creativity. One neat presentation a group did was they   built a house using my visual aids and inside was their answer with a cover. Then they piled dictionaries  that  when pushed at the end, the dictionaries would fall and eureka the answer would show.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	Saying Goodbye in a Song</strong> - The one I use is \"Goodbye, goodbye see you again...\" from Dream English\" in You Tube. This song suggests enjoyment of the activities they did. If they sing this regularly, this will be recorded in their subconscious mind that they are enjoying their class every day.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Making them Feel Good</strong> - Reinforce enjoyment of their English class by giving them   the chance    to express their feelings of enjoyment - if they like the lesson,  if they like to do the activities again,  if  they  learn something , etc. This will enable students to practice English in expressing what they feel.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	Providing  Varied Activities</strong> -  As students  undertake varied activities, boredom doesn\'t have a  place  and without a doubt, they  enjoy very much  the lesson not knowing they are  already learning.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	 Doing Dictionary Lesson a Day</strong> - Even with Kinder students, they can have activities like finding the Guide letters,   a review and mastery of their ABC. For a start, Grade 1 students can be helped by giving the page where the word is located to make word search less difficult. Older children can find the meaning of English words in Thai. Of course, with bigger kids,   SE-ED\'s English-Thai dictionary is good to use.</p>\n<p><strong>7.	 Healthy Competitions</strong> - Make group contests an integral part of your activities.  After all, group competition makes students alert and alive. Just change your grouping each day by playing \"Paper Stone and Paper\" and at the same time grouping them with the help of questions the previous day. Be sure too that   each group is composed of students with various abilities so that everybody will experience   victory and defeat. Anyway, the important thing here is that they learn while playing.</p>\n<p><strong>8.	Spicing UP Activities</strong> - The lesson can be made interesting by spicing up your activities with the help of games, songs, chants, puzzles, riddles, hands on work, etc. and I tell you, your English class will no longer be boring.</p>\n<p><strong>9.	Introducing Novel Activities</strong> - Frequently introduce new activities for your class enjoyment. Keep on doing this until you notice they don\'t feel like doing it anymore. Once in a while reintroduce your most enjoying games learned from English Camps of other schools and games your students love.</p>\n<p>Yes, motivating students, introducing new things, spicing up activities, doing competitions, varying activities, making them feel good, making copying meaningful, and even using dictionaries will make your students love English. As one student of mine said, \"Teacher, I very much enjoy  today.\" I have successfully made my English room a good resource for learning English, a place for fun,   where boredom has no place.</p>','','2015-03-10 03:10:18',1,'2015-03-10 03:10:18','2015-03-10 17:05:19'),(24858,21,'The Burning Question - How are your school admin staff?','the-burning-question-march-2015','Teachers give their opinions on something related to teaching in Thailand','This month\'s burning question is \'does your school have a visa / work permit superhero?\'','<p>I thought it might be an interesting idea each month or so to feature a teaching in Thailand-related question - and find out what teachers have to say. Welcome to The Burning Question.</p>\n<p>This month\'s question - Does your school have a work permit and visa superhero?</p>\n<p>I remember a language school I worked at many years ago and the legend that was Khun Oat. Tall, slim, good-looking and extremely camp, Khun Oat was employed by the school to do two main jobs - and he was brilliant at both of them! To the business, he was worth his weight in Thai gold.</p>\n<p>If the language school held an event such as a students open evening or a guest visit from some VIPs. Khun Oat was immediately put in charge of the hosting duties. If balloons needed to be hung from the ceiling and nibbles arranged fastidiously on silver trays, Oat was your man!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then cometh the hour, put a microphone in his hand and he become a sort of drag queen come master of ceremonies - but usually without the feathers and sequins.</p>\n<p>Oat\'s other main job - and the reason the foreign teachers loved him so much - was to take care of visa applications and work permits. And he was the work permit and visa application guru.</p>\n<p>I never once saw him refer to a checklist but he knew every application form and photocopy necessary in order to make processes go smoothly. But it was at the labour department and immigration offices where Khun Oat came into his own.</p>\n<p>I accompanied him a couple of times to these government departments and to watch him interact with Thai officers was to watch a master at work. Everyone loved Khun Oat! He knew the staff he could joke around with, the ones he could flatter and the staff who appreciated \'a box of chocolates\' in return for their service. But he never once took his eyes off the objective - to leave with either a work permit book or an appropriate visa stamp.</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, with his main jobs accomplished, Khun Oat would mince around the school corridors looking for anyone who needed his assistance. If a teacher had a problem with their apartment building or needed help communicating with a member of the Thai staff, Oat was the go-to guy.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The only time the work stopped was if Oat was walking past a TV and they played the latest pop video from one of his favourite boy bands. Oat would spend the next three minutes practicing his elaborate dance moves in readiness for a big Saturday night out in Boys Town.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know what became of him but I\'m sure he\'s been a success in whatever career path he eventually chose.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So does your school or agency have a Khun Oat? - someone who takes away all those red tape headaches? Or is your place of employment generally clueless about immigration / ministry of labor procedures and the teachers are left to fight for themselves?&nbsp;Do you feel your employer could do better in this department? Tell us your situation.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been doing all the compiling and filing of my own documents for 4 years at the same school. It\'s a real pain in the ass but it is so much better to do it on your own and to be familiar with the processes - and make sure that I am working legally here. <strong>(Aynaht)</strong></p>\n<p>The big Ramkhamhaeng agency that I work for has \'Mister Pii\' and I think he\'s the best one out there. The agency has over 230 employees and he gets the job done! He even knows all of the teachers by name. <strong>(Stephanie)</strong></p>\n<p>Yes, at my agency we have a member of staff called Fon and she specializes in all this stuff. &nbsp;She got my work permit and visa for me.

If you\'re currently looking for a teaching position to keep you busy over the coming year, then there are plenty of great opportunities out there, but there is also a lot of competition. In this post I\'ll be sharing a couple of ideas that can help you stand out from the crowd to land that position you\'re after.</p>\n<h3>1, What do you want to teach?</h3>\n<p>This may sound like common sense but a lot of teachers leave themselves open to teaching any level. The problem with this is that when you apply for a position you don\'t come across as someone with much experience.</p>\n<p>Specifying the level you wish to teach shows that you have experience teaching, you enjoy teaching and you recognise your strengths (and weaknesses).</p>\n<p>You will benefit from this in the long run because 12 months is a long a time when you\'re stuck teaching an age group you\'re unhappy with.</p>\n<p>Finally, focusing on one area of teaching will help narrow your job search, enable you to tailor your CV and you will be better prepared for a demo lesson / interview.</p>\n<h3>2, The email</h3>\n<p>In order to make a favorable first impression your introductory email should be short and concise.</p>\n<p>The teachers responsible for recruitment in Thai schools are usually teachers for whom teacher recruitment is just an addition responsibility they\'ve been &lsquo;awarded\'. If they are advertising on a popular website such as Ajarn dot com, they will be getting hundreds of emails from perspective teachers (I once received over 1000 job applications from a single ad), so you need to stand out quickly.</p>\n<p>Tips for standing out</p>\n<p>- A clear message header<br />- A short introductory email which clearly promotes your selling points <br />- A CV attached as a Word document or PDF<br />- Links to any online profile, blogs, YouTube videos... that will support your application<br />- An appropriate photo</p>\n<p>A photo is really important for schools in Thailand. It doesn\'t need to be as formal as a passport photo but it should be appropriate.</p>\n<p>In a previous article I wrote about some of the least appropriate photos I\'ve received. Unfortunately, this trend is still going strong with a large number of perspective teachers emailing photos of themselves in beachwear, on nights out - and some rather disturbing selfies.</p>\n<h3>3, The CV (resume)</h3>\n<p>Keep your CV short (1-2 pages) and focus on the experience and skills that are relevant to the position you are applying for.</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications</strong></p>\n<p>Obviously if you have an Education degree (or even a minor in Education) you need to make this clear on the front page of your CV.</p>\n<p>But even if you\'ve studied just one university course in an education related topic, you should still highlight it.  It may just be one term during your Sociology minor that you focused on the role of education in society or perhaps you studied a single term on child psychology - you should still highlight it.</p>\n<p>University education in Thailand is really important and any education related courses you\'ve studied at university could help you stand out from the crowd.</p>\n<p><strong>Work Experience</strong></p>\n<p>Likewise with your work experience, include anything that relates to the position you will be teaching.</p>\n<p>For instance, if your applying for a kindergarten position, you can should those two years of babysitting you did during college - but if you\'re applying to teach at a technical college, it will probably give the wrong impression.</p>\n<h3>4, Your online profile</h3>\n<p>Online profiles are a great way to present your skills and experience to potential employers. The Ajarn dot com online resume is ideal, LinkedIn is another great platform. I\'d also recommend using a new website called branded.me which enables you to create a great looking CV.</p>\n<p>If you have a blog, video blog or even an online photo album with teaching/learning/education content you should include a link to this in your opening email. This will show that you have genuine teaching experience, teaching is something you care about and you are tech savvy.</p>\n<p>But be careful - your online profile could also cut your job hopes short. If your Facebook profile is full of photos from your nocturnal activities, make sure it\'s kept private and can\'t be linked to by the email on your application.</p>\n<p>The quickest and easiest way to run a simple background check is google an email - if your Facebook page uses the same email as the email on your CV, you may have a problem.</p>\n<p>Best to keep your professional life and personal life on separate emails</p>\n<h3>5, Demo lessons</h3>\n<p>Demo lessons are very common in Thailand. They provide employers with the opportunity to see you in actions before signing you up for 12 months.</p>\n<p>If you are asked to teach a demo, find out as much as you can about the class and the lesson you are being asked to teach - asking questions, will also show the school you are serious about landing the position.</p>\n<p>You can also ask what the observers are looking to see from your demo - is it just classroom management, is it your use of child-centered activities or maybe they just want to see your presence in the classroom.</p>\n<p>If you get a chance to speak with teachers already working at the school, you could ask them what the school is looking to see from the demo.</p>\n<h3>Last minute vacancies</h3>\n<p>Finally, if you\'re not able to get a full time vacancy before the new school year begins do not despair. During the first month of the new school year most schools experience some sort of &lsquo;complication\' (such as a new teacher getting homesick, or a teacher that was great on paper turning out to be disastrous in the classroom) and this creates last minute vacancies. You just need to be in the right place at the right time.</p>\n<p>Well I hope this helps and if you are looking for work at the moment, best of luck!</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Daniel</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2015-03-31 02:49:53',1,'2015-03-31 02:49:53','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(24893,71,'St Patrick\'s Day in Bangkok','st-patricks-day-in-bangkok','The party rages on','When it comes to needing a little taste of home every now and then, holiday or not, it\'s really hard to beat Bangkok.','<p>I\'m from Savannah, Georgia, a city known in the US for having one of the country\'s largest St. Patrick\'s Day celebrations due in part to a fairly large Irish Roman Catholic community, and due more so to the fact that the city is full of people who like to party.</p>\n<p>To my knowledge, it is one of only 6 cities in the States (including Vegas) where it\'s legal to walk around in public with alcohol... provided it\'s in a plastic cup. In the historic district. Smaller than 12 ounces. Go ahead, laugh at the ridiculously stupid American laws, you lucky Europeans.</p>\n<h3>Homesick</h3>\n<p>Anyway, for whatever reason, it\'s the only holiday where I actually feel a bit homesick being an expat in Bangkok. Halloween is fun, and family at Christmas is great, but to me it was always a bigger deal to go watch the parade and party for days on end in March.</p>\n<p>So, here in Thailand, I feel I must do my part to represent the tradition, and that\'s yet another thing that\'s great about living here: no matter the holiday, no matter the origin, you can find someone celebrating it in Thailand. Any excuse to have a party here, and it\'s on.</p>\n<p>I hear Pattaya goes so far as to have a mini parade of some kind (surprising? This is Pattaya we\'re talking about here...), and I believe this year it hosted a music festival to coincide with the holiday. But, thanks to lovely summer school and ongoing evening classes, I\'m stuck in Bangers, so I figured I\'d have to go out and at least find myself a Guinness. And find I did.</p>\n<h3>Quiet</h3>\n<p>Bangkok has been fairly quiet, I would say, for over a year. I\'ve gone out the past few years in Bangkok for the holiday too, and let\'s just say that the partying scene isn\'t what it was when I got here a few years ago. This is mainly due to ongoing changes in what is and isn\'t allowed (read: car bars in the Nana district and forced club closing times).</p>\n<p>Still, by the time I got out to Sukhumvit Soi 33, around which there are several British and Irish style pubs, you couldn\'t even find a seat. In fact, you couldn\'t even get to the DOOR at the Dubliner, but I guess that should go without saying.</p>\n<h3>Sukhumwit</h3>\n<p>Keeping in mind this is a Tuesday night we\'re talking about here, I was quite surprised at the number of farangs and their Thai friends who turned out around the Sukhumvit area to have a good party in the name of green. I live north of the last BTS stop in Chatuchak, so I sometimes forget just how many foreigners are living in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>It amuses me no end that - halfway around the world from places that would remotely care about a holiday such as St. Patrick\'s Day, the party rages on.</p>\n<p>I\'m only directly Irish from two grandparents, but hey, everyone\'s Irish on St. Patricks\' Day.</p>\n<p>Am I getting too old to be doing multiple pints of Guinness and Irish Car Bombs?

I was expecting them to ask me to erase the picture.</p>\n<p>The other guard behind the desk was quite stern (I think they were playing good cop/bad cop), but the one speaking was understanding enough and although I had to leave my phone with them (everyone does), I got through to the consular office with no additional questioning.</p>\n<p>Eighty-two US Dollars to add extra pages to a passport?!?

It was an admission that I had taken a picture of the embassy.  It asked me for all my contact info and again, the reason I took the picture.  I\'m sure it\'s going to be on file with the FBI soon.</p>\n<p>One nice thing about visiting the US Embassy is that it is walking distance from one of only three places in Yangon that I know of that serves that staple of American cuisine: tacos.

Firstly, my luggage arrived nearly an hour after landing. Then there were no departure cards or declaration cards to be collected by the immigration. Then they confiscated my mangoes!','<p>Because I was  out  of my country  for more than a year, I was not able to  know some  changes in our   immigration policies.   I was only aware  of these when newly arrived acquaintances and friends  visit  Bangkok  or  I  was   confronted with it.<br />I took my vacation  weeks  ago to appear to the Philippine Social Security System (SSS) office  as a proof   that  I am still alive for my  annual renewal of  retirement claim benefits.</p>\n<p>Weeks before my flight  I could hardly wait for my departure. It was like waiting for my first baby to show up  in a nursery room. For the first time, I got a 30-kilo privilege and a 7- kilo hand carry. Before, I used to  travel light  but this time, I maximized the use of  my weight entitlement.</p>\n<h3>Well prepared</h3>\n<p>To assure myself   that my baggage would not  exceed the  required weight I went to a Tesco weighing machine. For only 1 baht  I was able to determine the   weight  of my baggage.</p>\n<p>In going to the airport, a friend of ours offered his van to send me and my friend   to the airport. Upon arriving at the airport  I immediately looked at  the Arrival/Departure  announcement board of my flight but  I couldn\'t find it. I thought I was left behind. I thought that my flight was  in the morning  and I was left behind.</p>\n<p>I looked at   my electronic ticket that it was the 19th and not the 18th so my fear disappeared. Nine o\'clock came yet there was no sight of my flight and airline. At  ten o\'clock my fears   burst like bubbles  because I finally  saw flight 731.</p>\n<p>I spent the time at the airport waiting for the check-in sleeping, watching people going  to and fro, listening to   people\'s stories and many more.</p>\n<p>While checking in,  a passenger with 3 children  had an excess of 10 kilos. I thought she would ask me to save her which I couldn\'t do because there were a lot of cases about kind persons who helped and were  in trouble  being made a drug carrier without the recipient\'s knowledge.</p>\n<p>One example is Mary Jane Veloso who is scheduled to be executed this week in Indonesia. To go on with my story,  she  asked if the check-in clerks were strict. I told her they were because I knew  many people paid extra cash for their excess baggage or left  to their friends  extra items that caused the overweight.</p>\n<p>I told her to distribute the small  bags to her kids  as hand carry and it worked.</p>\n<h3>Making a friend</h3>\n<p>After check-in,  a person behind me asked where I was going, what I did, and so on. She happened to be a teacher too but in a private school in one province of Thailand. We knew of a common friend so we  were able to  relate  to each other easily which led to a lunch together at the  food court, a place I knew for the first time   despite the fact that I traveled back and forth several times to my country.  I never had the chance to eat there only that time.</p>\n<p>Our chats continued up to the immigration,  duty free, and to the departure area. Unfortunately, I was seated away from her  so  our talks ended. If we only knew each other earlier, we could have a longer trip chats on the plane.</p>\n<p>It was a pleasant trip but my frustrations started when I was claiming my  luggage. For the first time unlike in Paris, London, New Delhi, and Bangkok airports, my luggage on the conveyor arrived nearly an hour after landing. There were no departure cards or declaration cards collected by the immigration. They only collected  the health sheet to check if we have Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).</p>\n<p>So when I got my pieces of luggage I piled them on the trolley and headed for the exit. A sign on the exit  caught my attention \"For those who have nothing to declare\" which was applicable  to me,   I passed there. But when I was  beside  one immigration officer she asked what was in the box I had.</p>\n<h3>Goodbye to my mangoes</h3>\n<p>With honesty I told her it was a - gift mango, strawberry. and tamarind. She asked why but I did not answer. She opened  it  with a cutter  and said she had to confiscate the mangos because there was a report that Thailand had mango pests. Immediately another officer confiscated the 5 ripe sweet mangos and 5  unripe ones.</p>\n<p>They asked for my passport, recorded some information, and gave me a receipt.  I thought I was in big trouble because of the mangos... She  then asked  further if I was willing to attend the burning of the mangos. I told them I had no time. They did not mind and I was out of the airport.</p>\n<p>You see during my last year\'s vacation,  I brought  2 kilos of tamarind, 2 kilos of guavas and 2 kilos of mangosteen but no questions were asked.

I do this because my students typically come from mixed backgrounds and levels, and seldom have been taught the same grammatical structure of this or pronunciation of that.</p>\n<p>In my eyes, as long as the students can communicate in this second language, I should not nit-pick accent or other details except at very advanced levels. Of course, this is unless I am teaching a course specifically for a British or American-based test (hello IELTS and TOEFL), in which case the students are essentially paying to learn a certain style, presumably to study or live in a country reflecting that style.</p>\n<h3>Pointless argument</h3>\n<p>The problem then becomes other teachers I\'ve encountered; often, I\'ve heard teachers admonish students for spelling something \"colour\" instead of \"color,\" or pronouncing \"skedule\" instead of \"shedule.\" To me, this not only damages the purpose of [specifically] ESL learning, but also creates a situation of placing one variant of English as more superior than another. It becomes iPhone versus Android; PC versus Mac.</p>\n<p>In my eyes, this competition is pointless and counterproductive; English, especially as a second language, should be a medium with which to communicate, not a medium with which to judge what is correct and what is not. I always tell students to simply pick a style they feel comfortable using and stick with it, so I always find it hard to accept colleagues who insist on using American or British English in a classroom outside these countries without at least explaining why this is being done.</p>\n<p>That said, schools in Thailand are just as guilty of using accents and styles to discriminate against teachers. I can\'t tell you how many times I\'ve heard \"The students can\'t understand his accent\" from a Thai teacher about a foreign teacher, no matter where he or she is from.</p>\n<h3>Toning accents down</h3>\n<p>I\'ll grant that some English accents are especially \"thick\" and difficult to understand, and that teachers should strive to speak clearly no matter what the accent; I had to tone-down my southern US accent as soon as I moved here to be understood (and so as not to be compared to George Bush...), as many other teachers from other parts of the world also do.</p>\n<p>That said, picking a teacher solely based on his/her accent and/or nationality ends up being counterproductive to the students.</p>\n<p>If students only have exposure to Australian accents, for example, and then meet someone from South Africa, how are they supposed to cope? What about needing to speak to any other non-native English person in English? Especially for Thai students who are not typically taught to think in context, I can guarantee that a student who learned only with American or British speakers, native or not, is going to have a very hard time understanding someone who speaks with... well, any other accent.</p>\n<p>The bottom line, I tell my students, is to speak to be understood. English isn\'t just spoken by native English speakers, after all, and no one accent or style is \"correct.\" Why compete?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

You carefully compose your shot. And then you hit the shutter button. You\'ve just captured what you think is the perfect photo. But what looks like the perfect photo on your tiny camera screen turns out to be an out-of-focus, poorly composed picture on your giant computer monitor.</p>\n<p>I don\'t consider myself a photographer by any means because more often than not I take bad pictures. But I do enjoy photographing things. To my satisfaction I\'m told this happens to even the best photographers in the world, that even the greatest have more unusable photos than they do usable ones.</p>\n<p>Like learning photography, becoming a better teacher is more about learning from mistakes than it is delivering perfect lessons every single time. We may have only one great lesson for every five, or every ten, delivered. After all, as beginning teachers we\'re still trying to see what works in the classroom and what doesn\'t work, and we\'re still trying to perfect our delivery and style.</p>\n<p>On certain days the classroom might be dynamic and energetic. On other days the air might be stale and the flow may be choppy.</p>\n<p>But whenever the going gets tough in the classroom I\'m reminded of three simple steps that I\'ve learned from practicing photography: recompose, refocus, and reshoot</p>\n<h3>Recompose</h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Recomposing in photography allows photographers to see things from new perspectives or different angles. The same holds true with teaching. After most failures we\'re usually presented with new insights that let us see things differently. We can then take this new perspective and apply it to future lessons, make the necessary changes, and re-frame our desired outcome.</span></p>\n<h3>Refocus</h3>\n<p>Even the best photographers I know tell me that they don\'t always nail their focus points on the first shot. When we lose focus in the classroom we should do as photographers do: refocus ourselves and then keep shooting. If photographers chimped through their camera, dwelling on all the bad shots they took, they\'d probably miss the action in front of them. As teachers, we can\'t dwell on our missteps. We have to chalk it up and place our attention back on the intended area of focus.</p>\n<h3>Reshoot</h3>\n<p>Once we recompose and refocus ourselves the only thing left to do is try again. And again. Eventually we\'ll get it. I\'m constantly reminded of this last step every time I re-teach one of my old lesson plans after it has been through the ringer, after it has been refined and rewritten. It gets better each time. But it wouldn\'t have gotten better if I never took the first two steps into consideration: that is, to change my desired outcome of the lesson and to sharpen up all the out-of-focus areas.</p>\n<p>These three simple steps of recomposing, refocusing, and reshooting haven\'t only made me a better photographer, but they\'ve made me a better teacher. What tricks do you use to help you sharpen your lessons?</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-04-26 17:17:28',1,'2015-04-26 17:17:28','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(25652,41,'How to be a successful teacher in Thailand','how-to-be-a-successful-teacher-in-thailand','There is little correlation between a successful teacher and a good teacher','Success in Thailand is an easy (but often lengthy) process of self discovery. But it starts with finding out what is expected of you from everyone you come into contact with and being able to adjust your behavior to provide those things.','<p>It\'s important to point out that here in Thailand there is precious little correlation between a \'successful\' teacher and a \'good\' teacher. Also, \'success\' may not mean the same for you, as it does for me.</p>\n<p>But for the sake of this little piece, we\'ll think of success as being in a pretty well paid job (or jobs), being appreciated for what you do and being able to afford the things that you desire.</p>\n<h3>A lot of \'Ifs!\'</h3>\n<p>If we keep it simple we can better focus on how to get to this point or how to avoid NOT getting to this point!</p>\n<p>If you are not thinking of settling in Thailand then skip the rest of this. It\'s not going to be of much interest to you.</p>\n<p>If you are content where you\'re at right now, then ditto. Not much point in causing yourself the pain of reading through to the end.</p>\n<p>If, however, you want a better standard of living and more job security, then read on. Some of the following ideas may inspire you, enlighten you or simply re-affirm what you know already.</p>\n<p>Lots of people are taking a chance on working in Thailand each year. More and more people have decided to uproot and emigrate. And not just native English speakers. There\'s a chronic unemployment problem throughout Europe and elsewhere around the world. This reason alone is causing waves of young people to spread their wings.</p>\n<p>But for most, they will consider this move to be temporary or as part of a chain of events which will take them to other places aside from Thailand and eventually home.</p>\n<p>It\'s because of this that wages in Thailand for English teachers have remained stagnant for the last 20 years. And there aren\'t any signs that this will change over the next twenty years, either!</p>\n<p>Despite what you might think about Thailand having prejudices, the teaching game is definitely an equal opportunity employer! Pretty much anyone with the air fare can pop over to paradise and get by, being an English teacher.</p>\n<p>For some, the lifestyle goes on forever but for most, we eventually find a way back home to live \'normal\' lives. For those that do stay, however, there are layers upon layers of lifestyle comforts available and unless you choose which layer of comforts you want, they will be chosen for you.</p>\n<h3>So, with that in mind, let\'s start with the job hunt.</h3>\n<p>How do you get the attention of the best employers?</p>\n<p>There are loads of articles and opinions on how to get a job. This essay isn\'t about getting a job. That\'s the easy bit. This is more about you choosing that job, keeping that job, enjoying that job and having a sense of value within that job.</p>\n<p>Success may not be all about money... although it should play a pretty big role in terms of your own self worth. Success isn\'t about hard work, either. It\'s about working smart... and here\'s where most people screw up!</p>\n<p>Too many people come to Thailand, get \'qualified\' and work their asses off in the classroom. They love their students and they bemoan the text books/materials/the system and devote a lot of their energy substituting for these deficiencies. Laudable? Well, yes, maybe. Sensible? Not even a little bit! They burn out quickly and go home or sink into an abyss of failure within the system.</p>\n<p>And that\'s a shame, because I\'m sure that almost every one of these people could be living here in reasonable comfort and be happy with their lot. I mean really happy. You know... that feeling you get when you wake up and WANT to go to work. Yes, it happens!</p>\n<h3>How do you get to this \'nirvana\'? Two steps...</h3>\n<p>First, the only way to be successful is to fully understand what your employers want you to do.</p>\n<p>Next... be self aware. This means understanding completely (and caring about) how everyone perceives you.</p>\n<p>And that\'s it! The rest will come along regardless of how much effort you put into doing your job.</p>\n<h3>The interview</h3>\n<p>Finding out what your employer wants from you is the most important aspect of your job and it begins with the interview for it.</p>\n<p>You should be pressing hard for answers to questions such as \'Why did the last teacher leave?\" and \"Who are the best teachers - and why is that?\" and \"What are you looking for when you hire someone?\" Find out all you can about why the company or school is hiring. Find out what their intentions are for you.</p>\n<p>Finding out why other teachers have been let go will give you a template on what to focus on should you decide to be their replacement. If you\'re lucky, your interviewer will be a bit of a gossip and won\'t mind sharing with you what they see as the worst traits of character of the Western help.</p>\n<p>If he or she is dropping comments like \"They always seem to want to get away early on Fridays and after lunch we don\'t even see them!\" then make a mental note not to be seen doing the same thing.</p>\n<p>You might hear \"We\'ve been having a bit of trouble getting some teachers to work in the morning!\" or \"One or two aren\'t handing in lesson plans.\" Make mental notes of everything you can. This fishing expedition can help you to decide whether or not you want that job, but more importantly, it will help to shape how you are going to behave if you do take it.</p>\n<p>Of course, you may be fed a line of BS... but when you are walking around the school and in and out of classrooms, you\'ll get a pretty good idea of what your real duties are going to be and where the priorities of the school lies.</p>\n<p>If you want the job, then embrace those duties. Embrace THEIR priorities, NOT yours. If you get a bad feeling about the place then walk away and never look back. There are too many people working rubbish jobs simply because the school said \'Yes!\' first, when they went job hunting.</p>\n<p>Learn the priorities of your employer. Some employers just want someone reliable who will show up sober. Some employers want someone to re-invigorate their English department. Some places of business will value your input and others won\'t. Some places will be embracing of your suggestions and some will be resistant to any kind of change. Knowing these things is the key to your professional happiness and job satisfaction.</p>\n<h3>Look at yourself closely</h3>\n<p>Next point... Be self aware and change your behavior to fit in with the culture of your immediate surroundings. Too many teachers simply blunder through situations either ignorant of their affect on those around them or because they are arrogant (and wrong!) about their place in the grand scheme of things.</p>\n<p>Have you ever heard anyone say this? \"I\'m me and I\'ll never change.\" or \"Why should I change. I\'m in the right.\" or \"I\'m too old to change my ways.\" It\'s all bullshit and very annoying to listen to. If you aren\'t prepared to make changes to yourself and your behavior then you\'ll not find success anywhere, doing anything in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Last year, a farang English teacher got fired one morning for reaching over the shoulder of a Thai teacher to \'fingerprint\' into work. The Thai teacher was dithering about, chatting to a friend and this was enough to frustrate the farang and he couldn\'t wait any longer. Now he\'s out of a job and he doesn\'t know why.</p>\n<p>This was the last straw in an accumulation of ignorant behavior and social transgressions. \"But I\'m a great teacher!\" he boasted. \"My students love me!\" he cried. \"They can\'t fire me for that!\" he raged! The funniest one was \"They\'ll never get anyone as good as me.\"</p>\n<p>Well, they did. And he was bumped because he wasn\'t aware of how he should have behaved to fit in with his surroundings... or maybe he was, but he thought he was above conforming to them! Either way, his case is by no means unusual. The best teachers aren\'t always the most successful ones and often it\'s because they simply can\'t (or don\'t want to) abide by common courtesies that seem silly to them.</p>\n<p>Social errors of judgement may seem trivial to you but they shouldn\'t be dismissed as unimportant. One of the biggest (and most unknown) is looking annoyed or impatient. Yes, simply wearing the expression of being annoyed is a bloody stupid thing to do if you are trying to fit in to your surroundings. Do you ever see anyone else at work with those ridiculous, pained expressions? Of course not. This is Thailand. Learn to smile.</p>\n<p>Every aspect of you is constantly being monitored, graded and judged. From your clothes and hair to your attitude and poise, you are always being evaluated. So, learn what is acceptable behavior and what isn\'t. Be aware of how you fit in and change things that make you stand out in a negative light.</p>\n<h3>Finally...</h3>\n<p>Thai employers are resigned to hiring foreigners that don\'t match their requirements. They have to because, despite the large amount of people jostling for jobs here, the actual pool of acceptable talent in Thailand is very, very small and they just can\'t justify the expense of paying someone more than the going rate, regardless of how capable they are in the classroom.</p>\n<p>The alternative to hiring qualified talent (and paying them what they\'re worth) is to go for second best, pay the going rate and hope, hope, hope that they show up sober, look clean and don\'t rock the boat. With some luck they\'ll get some teaching done as well!</p>\n<p>Success in Thailand is an easy (but often lengthy) process of self discovery. But it starts with finding out what is expected of you from everyone you come into contact with and being able to adjust your behavior to provide those things.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2015-04-27 06:21:26',1,'2015-04-27 06:21:26','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(25762,52,'May 2015','may-2015','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL course providers','Traditionally, May is the busiest month of the year for hiring new teachers.

Thus, I have tried to find good Mexican food in Bangkok. Many times I have been disappointed, but I have actually found some pretty good places. I have written some of my thoughts below.</p>\n<p><strong>Sunrise Tacos</strong>:</p>\n<p>Often deemed \"a necessary evil\", this is an old standby for many. With at least three convenient locations, it is easy to see why so many Westerners with a craving for Mexican frequent this place.</p>\n<p>The downside is that the food is not all that good. It is not bad, despite what many say, but it\'s also not great. Truth be told, many of the dishes are quite bland. It\'s not cheap either, though it\'s not the most expensive on this list.</p>\n<p>A meal for two (without drinks) should run around 600 baht. Unless you\'re really in a rush and cannot go far from Sukhumvit Road, I would not recommend this place too much. I have heard good things about a secret menu they have though (3/5).</p>\n<p><strong> El Diablo: </strong></p>\n<p>What a great place! Free chips, huge burritos, decent guacamole, it\'s everything I look for in a Mexican restaurant. The location is a bit inconvenient though. It\'s near the intersection of Sukhumvit 22 and 24, near the Phrom Prong BTS.</p>\n<p>The burritos are large and cheap (around 180-220 baht for a 10 inch burrito). There are also two-for-one margaritas on Tuesdays (150 baht for two glasses). I frequent this place multiple times per month (4.5/5).</p>\n<p><strong> Tacos and Salsa: </strong></p>\n<p>Another great find. This restaurant is all the way at the end of Sukhumvit 18. The burritos are good, though I found that the seasoning was not quite as good as El Diablo\'s, and there are no free chips.</p>\n<p>The food is cheap (220 baht for a 12 inch burrito), but the margaritas are less so (170 baht each). If you are looking to eat a lot or come with a large group of friends, then come here, as there is more space than at El Diablo (4/5).</p>\n<p><strong> La Monita: </strong></p>\n<p>This is probably where the best Mexican food in Bangkok can be found. The burritos are delicious and enormous, and there is a fantastic salsa bar at the restaurant. The location is also more convenient than El Diablo\'s or Tacos and Salsa\'s; it is located down Soi Ruamrudee near the Phloen Chit BTS station.</p>\n<p>Now, the food is great, but there are a few negatives to this place. One, it is often crowded, and it does not take reservations.</p>\n<p>Two, it is more expensive than the other restaurants on this list; expect to pay around 300 baht for just a burrito. Still, this place is worth a try, even if one\'s desire to not wait in line for 30 minutes or pay 1.5 times the price makes one frequent El Diablo more often (4.5/5).</p>\n<p>Overall, I prefer El Diablo, but La Monita is definitely worth going to as well. And Tacos and Salsa is a great place to go with friends. Even Sunrise Tacos is not as bad as many people say.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I have not found a Mexican restaurant in Bangkok that compares to the ones back home yet, but I have found a few good places for my Mexican fix.</p>\n<p>Overall, it\'s not easy to find great Mexican food in Thailand. Luckily, it is hard to complain, since Thai food is so abundant and fresh. Still, I often miss my staple foods.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-05-05 19:32:35',1,'2015-05-05 19:32:35','2015-05-16 11:11:36'),(25837,10,'A quiet few days in Si Racha','a-quiet-few-days-in-si-racha','A small town on the Bangkok to Pattaya highway','Si Racha had a very slow-paced, small-town feel to it and I guess you either like that or you don\'t. I just couldn\'t personally imagine living there. Love the park though!\n','<p>Si Racha is a peaceful town about ninety minutes south of Bangkok. Twenty years ago, it was a place that always meant so much to me because I was usually on my way from Bangkok to Pattaya and when the bus got to Si Racha, it meant you didn\'t have much of the journey left to cover. You could almost smell that fresh, clean Pattaya air (oh, what am I like?)</p>\n<p>And that\'s all Si Racha was to many folks - a marker on the highway to the kingdom\'s favourite seaside resort. Well, it was a favourite seaside resort back then, in the days before jet-ski scams, pushy Russians and foreigners getting roughed up after dark by big, butch ladyboys on the beach road.</p>\n<p>Bangkok to Pattaya buses generally never stopped in Si Racha, however I do remember getting off the bus there once (I think the driver had to change a dodgy tyre or something) and thirty or so passengers, seizing an opportunity to stretch their legs, meandered down to a rickety wooden pier but were driven straight back onto the bus by the stink of fish sauce (for which Si Racha is famous I might add)</p>\n<h3>Tourist destination</h3>\n<p>But times have changed. Thanks to a large influx of Japanese expats working for companies on the nearby industrial estates, Si Racha has spruced itself up and made valiant attempts to put itself on the tourist trail. It was time to pay a visit - a proper visit this time.</p>\n<p>Several factors combined to make Si Racha an ideal choice for a long weekend getaway. Firstly, the Thai government, not satisfied with closing down the country and giving everyone five days off for Songkran, decided to repeat the exercise two weeks later and give the population another five days off over the Mayday weekend. Why Thailand doesn\'t just shut down completely in April and May I\'ll never understand but we\'ll save that discussion for another time.</p>\n<p>Secondly, with my wife at the wheel, we could do Samut Prakarn to Si Racha in less than two hours - which for me is about as long as I care to gaze at the passing scenery on Thailand\'s often dispiriting grey and concrete highways.</p>\n<p>Finally, the Japanese company my wife works for puts many of its Japanese management staff in the rather nice Balcony Seaside Apartments, located about a mile from Si Racha\'s town center.</p>\n<p>It\'s a newly-built complex catering mainly for the long-stay Japanese market. There\'s a Japanese fusion restaurant, a gym, a swimming pool, a tuck shop, an artificial beach, an extensive library of Japanese cartoon books and a brilliant free coffee machine in the reception. Plus the apartments are bloody enormous. What more could you want? Oh, and my wife got a very special room rate. Two thumbs way up!</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SR1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Thailand\'s best park?</h3>\n<p>Frankly speaking, there isn\'t an awful lot to do in Si Racha. And not wishing to do the Tiger Zoo - which features heavily in every Si Racha tourist guide you pick up - severely limits your options.</p>\n<p>Neither the wife nor I really minded though. We had gone down there with a plan to do nothing during the daytime and in the evenings we planned on doing even more nothing.</p>\n<p>So what <em>did</em> we see in Si Racha? Well for starters the town has an amazing public park. And I mean truly amazing. The Lonely Planet website describes it as \'one of the best-kept municipal parks in Thailand\' and I wouldn\'t argue with that description.</p>\n<p>We ventured there on our very first afternoon in town.</p>\n<p>As we strolled around the park in the late afternoon sun, I couldn\'t have been more impressed. There were children\'s play areas, open-air gyms, a large space given over to free aerobics classes - there was even a game of boules going on. The locals all seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. I\'ve never seen Thai townsfolk look so happy.</p>\n<p>What pleased me no end was seeing that local Thai authorities really do know how to get something right if they put their minds to it. We walked a complete circuit of that park and I didn\'t see a single scrap of litter or a single wobbly dog\'s egg. The locals clearly took a real pride in their community.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SR2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>After a pleasant hour or so in the park, we made the short walk across the causeway to Loy Island, another of Si Racha\'s main tourist attractions. Being a public holiday, there was no shortage of people nibbling on snacks from the wide range of food vendors, enjoying a ride at the kiddies fun-fair or just hanging around at the impressive temple and taking selfies. Again, I was struck by how blissfully happy everyone looked and all of them enjoying activities that cost little or no money.</p>\n<h3>Deja vu</h3>\n<p>As darkness fell, we decided to hit Si Racha\'s commercial center, which is dominated by the Pacific Park Shopping Mall. I\'m guessing that a trip to the mall might be the highlight of a local person\'s week but for a couple of streetwise Bangkokians, there was nothing except an overwhelming sense of d&eacute;j&agrave; vu, not helped by the fact it took us almost an hour to find a parking space.</p>\n<p>An hour at the mall was more than enough. There were queues outside Sizzler. It was nigh on impossible to find a table for two in Swensens - and the staff in the tired-looking Robinsons Department Store clearly enjoyed fiddling around with their smartphones far more than taking care of customers. We had seen it all before.</p>\n<p>Call us gluttons for punishment but we paid a second visit to Pacific Park on day three of our long weekend, but this time during the daylight hours. I wouldn\'t have thought it possible but we disliked the place even more.</p>\n<h3>Japanese town</h3>\n<p>An altogether more agreeable shopping mall experience was J-Park, a mock Japanese style shopping complex complete with Japanese ornamental gardens, fake plastic cherry blossom and cutesy gurgling fountains.</p>\n<p>Located about seven clicks out of town, J-Park is aimed at all those carefree Japanese folk who have settled in the area and have big expat salaries burning a hole in their pocket. We wandered into a Japanese ice-cream shop, had a quick glance at the prices on the menu and wandered straight back out again.</p>\n<p>It was fascinating to stand there and do some people-watching because you had two distinct groups - the Thais and the Japanese. The Japanese were filling up shopping bags and keeping the cash registers ringing. The Thais were just there to take photos. And then there was the odd farang, like me, who just stood there looking bemused by it all.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SR3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>After an expensive cup of coffee and a look in at the Japanese supermarket to see how much the Japanese are willing to pay for things, we opted for another walk around Si Racha\'s fine public park, however, in the blistering midday heat, the park was virtually empty and looked nowhere near as inviting as it had done the previous day.</p>\n<h3>An angry shopkeeper</h3>\n<p>Just then - in a row of shop-houses - a small sports shop caught my eye. I had never seen such a fine collection of Thai football shirts and I was eager to take a closer look. Ever since my trainer at the gym bought me a Suphanburi F.C replica shirt, I\'ve developed an interest for Thai football kit with advertising and company logos plastered over almost every square inch of the fabric.</p>\n<p>And this shop-owner had a hell of a collection! I couldn\'t work out at first whether it was a shop or a museum because some of the shirts hanging up and on display were clearly extremely old.</p>\n<p>It was then that I made the fatal mistake of touching the merchandise. Perhaps it was a museum of sorts after all but the owner emerged from the back of the shop in his grubby singlet and went totally bananas. The only reason he didn\'t chase me out of the shop with a broom was because there wasn\'t a broom handy.</p>\n<p>I so wanted to engage the owner in conversation, to practice my Thai and ask him about the origins of some of the shirts and whose signatures had been scribbled across them. Which shirt was the most valuable? Which one did he treasure the most?&nbsp;Unfortunately my questions were to go unanswered for one simple reason - because I know a fucking nutcase when I see one.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SR4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>So we spent a total of four days in Si Racha. Over the course of those days, I downgraded my opinion from &lsquo;Wow! what a place\' to a more modest &lsquo;yes, this is a nice little town\'. It had a very slow-paced, small-town feel to it and I guess you either like that or you don\'t. I just couldn\'t personally imagine living there. Love the park though!</p>\n<p>One thing I did notice was the impressive number of language institutes around. For a relatively small community, Si Racha seemed to have a lot of schools and language centers, ranging from the huge Assumption situated on the edge of town and set in its own grounds, down to the single shop-house language schools with banners hanging out front advertising for &lsquo;English teachers - urgently wanted\'.</p>\n<p>I did see a number of Westerners walking around Si Racha. I\'m not sure whether or not they were English teachers but I can\'t imagine any English teacher being short of work in this town.</p>','','2015-05-07 08:18:15',1,'2015-05-07 08:18:15','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(25983,86,'Finland leads the way in educational reform','finland-leads-the-way-in-educational-reform','What makes an education system great?','The best education systems come from richer countries with better support systems throughout the country as a whole. Money is clearly a big influence on the quality of education, so where does that leave Thailand?','<p>Finland yet again is on the forefront of educational reform.</p>\n<p>Just a couple of months ago, the country announced that students would no longer be studying subjects and that all lessons will become topic based.</p>\n<p>It isn\'t a completely new idea with most forward thinking curricula having dabbled with this and indeed the British curriculum uses topic based teaching for early years and primary. However Finland plans to take it one step further and rid itself of stand-alone lessons altogether.</p>\n<p>It is yet to be seen whether or not this will work as although it looks good on paper, the delivery of this type of curriculum will need a lot of planning and hard work. Given Finland\'s track record with education, sitting on top of the PISA rankings alongside Singapore and China, we can probably be forgiven for going along with anything they introduce.</p>\n<h3>What makes an education system great?</h3>\n<p>Countries across Europe are now trying to emulate Finland\'s success, but is it their education system alone that puts Finland on top? And is it one size fits all?</p>\n<p>Asian countries have strong education systems too with Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Japan all being mentioned in the top 4 of a recent study, followed by Finland and the UK respectively. Asians are notoriously hard working however and their approach to education is quite different from the Fins.</p>\n<p>The hours spent studying is much higher than that of Finland, where school days are short. So would the Finnish be even better if they worked longer or would this bring a model based upon play and free choice crashing down?</p>\n<h3>The state of Thailand\'s education system?</h3>\n<p>The best education systems come from richer countries with better support systems throughout the country as a whole. Money is clearly a big influence on the quality of education, so where does that leave Thailand?</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s education system has consistently underperformed in recent years and while money is a factor and we don\'t expect Thailand to be quite on the same level as Finland or indeed some of the other Asian countries, it still underperforms when compared to its local neighbours; most of which have smaller economies and lower GDPs than Thailand.</p>\n<p>Schools are plagued by large class sizes and while there are plenty of good, caring teachers around, training is certainly not as good as it could be.</p>\n<p>There are many factors that Thailand can control and we probably all have our opinions on how the education system could be improved, but with no clear direction it may only get worse for Thailand. The lack of direction imposed on by the Ministry of Education does have its benefits to private schools who can generally operate however they want and whilst there are a lot of poorly run private schools as well, they are still a better choice than government schools, for those that can afford it.</p>\n<p>The difference in quality between private schooling and state schooling is huge and the gulf isn\'t getting any smaller. Thailand has an enormous amount of private education facilities, boasting international, bilingual and even Thai schools.

And Steel Roses is the result.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steelroses1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The moment you enter the restaurant, you instinctively feel that you\'re in for a memorable dining experience. There are plenty of comfortable sofas and chairs and the interior brings to mind Dr Who\'s tardis. What looks a relatively medium-sized restaurant from the outside, turns out to be huge on the inside.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The restaurant\'s interior is dominated by an ornate indoor gazebo, under which sits a piano and assorted nic-nacs and flower arrangements. It certainly lends the restaurant a nice touch of class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just off the main dining area is a separate \'library-cum-bookstore\' and the room offers customers an opportunity to browse and a pleasant distraction at the end or beginning of a meal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There had to be a place reserved for books somewhere - as well as the resident \'library cat\', who can usually be found curled up in a corner or under a coffee table.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not only does the library have an excellent selection of interesting titles at reasonable prices but is often used as a venue for writer\'s workshops led by well-known Thai authors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the second occasion I dined at the restaurant, there was a talk being given in the library by a Thai monk and an audience of about a dozen listeners. These discussions, meetings and workshops are clearly an important revenue stream for the business. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one\'s in a hurry at Steel Roses and customers are very well looked after by the manager Khun Aroonwat Srithammarach (Moo) who just happens to also be the owner\'s son, as well as possibly the politest and most gentle man you\'ve ever met in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his early twenties and looking a little bit like a roadie for a heavy metal band, Moo speaks decent English and is only too happy to talk diners through any special promotions and offers for that particular day. On my last visit, the restaurant was offering 30% off a pork chop and salad.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steelroses2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can take as long as you like with the menu. There are no over-zealous waiters standing there with pen poised as you hurriedly try to order food. Khun Moo gives each table a small brass bell. Simply give it a ring when you are ready to order. I think that\'s a lovely touch. But then again, you only have to look around you to see that Steel Roses pays massive attention to the small and important details. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK so what about the menu? You\'d probably describe it as fusion. There\'s a list of the regular Thai favourites (prices ranging from 80 - 120 baht a dish) but I don\'t go to Steel Roses for Thai food. No sir! I can rarely get past that delicious plate of fish and chips (220 baht) or one of the sizzlin steak and pork chop with salad offerings (260 baht up) There is also a good selection of pasta dishes on the menu. My wife loves the creamy spaghetti carbonara.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To wash down your food, there is a good selection of beers (including the wheaty Hoegaarden) and a range of fruit smoothies, milk shakes and fresh coffees.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steelroses3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If I had to level one criticism at Steel Roses, it would be the relatively small dessert selection - and only because I\'m a serious dessert lover! You have a choice of creme brulee (which my wife loves but is not my own personal favourite) a cheese pie or something similar, scones and jam (not always available) and the ubiquitous scoop or two of quality ice cream (which is beautifully presented in a tall glass I might add) &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On my last visit to Steel Roses, I chatted at length with Khun Moo the manager and asked him why the restaurant wasn\'t packed to the rafters with hungry foreigners with plenty of disposable income. There are so many of them in that area, one only has to walk around the nearby Big C and Foodland supermarkets to see them filling their trolleys with expensive foodstuffs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moo admitted that local foreigners was a section of the community he was eager to attract. But he didn\'t really know how. His marketing efforts so far seemed to have been limited to handing out brochures and flyers to local \'moobarns\'. Even with my extremely limited internet marketing expertise, I can see that the restaurant desperately needs a website to go with its Facebook page. And by the way, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/steelrosescafe\">the Steel Roses Facebook page has plenty of photos to whet your appetite.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my opinion, Steel Roses has two large hurdles to overcome if it\'s going to attract foreign diners in any great number. Firstly, the exterior of the restaurant doesn\'t do the inside any justice at all. I had driven past the place many times before my first visit, and always thought it was one of those \'country and western\' pubs that only really came alive in the evening.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Secondly, the restaurant is awkward to get to. It\'s not difficult to find - just awkward to get to. It\'s situated on the main Si Nakarin Road near the junction of Si Nakarin and Soi La Salle (Sukhumwit 105)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What makes the location awkward is that there is a hulking great flyover directly in front of the restaurant. Whether you approach from the direction of Seacon Square or Soi La Salle, once you get on to that elevated flyover instead of staying on the low road, you\'ll go speeding past the restaurant for quite some distance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So stay on the low road at ground level, stick to the left-hand side and you can\'t go wrong. Here is a screengrab from Google Maps that I think might be quite useful. This shows the approach to Steel Roses from the direction of Soi La Salle. You can see the restaurant coming into view on the left and the elevated flyover on the right.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/steelroses4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wish you good luck in finding Steel Roses because it\'s so worth the effort. The food and atmosphere are excellent. The service is polite and friendly. I just love this place. And as I said earlier in the review, we are so starved of decent, mid-range restaurants in this area.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Long may it flourish and I look forward to hearing about your own dining experiences here.</p>','','2015-05-14 05:07:50',1,'2015-05-14 05:07:50','2018-08-22 18:43:29'),(26107,85,'A lesson for experienced teachers in surviving the CELTA','a-lesson-for-experienced-teachers-in-surviving-the-celta','Sometimes you have to unlearn what you\'ve learned','Do a little research or talk to people who\'ve completed their CELTA and you\'ll find that experienced teachers are often the ones who have the hardest time with the rigors of the course.

What are the advantages and disadvantages? What kind of learning is more valuable? Who are you working with? How much time do you have?  Go.</p>\n<p><strong>Setting Context</strong>: Imagine you\'ve been living somewhere in Asia for a few years, teaching English as a second language. You think you\'re pretty good at your job; the students seem to like you, and you\'ve never heard of any complaints.</p>\n<p>You landed your first job after completing one of those TEFL-in-paradise training courses which was helpful in preparing you to step into a classroom initially, but that was a while ago now and you don\'t really remember that much about it except it was actually a lot of fun.  You keep hearing one thing over and over from your senior colleagues: get yourself a CELTA.</p>\n<p>There\'s a lot of time and money involved in earning a CELTA.  You considered it initially when making your mid-life career shift, but was assured by many that the much cheaper TEFL certificate would be fine for starting out, and if at some later point, you decided you needed that CELTA, you could always get it later.</p>\n<p>Again with your partner, I\'d like for you to discuss what reasons you might have to decide to get the post-TEFL CELTA certification. What kinds of things might be happening in your life and career for you to make that decision? Please talk for two minutes.</p>\n<p><strong>Controlled Practice 1</strong>:  In a moment, I\'m going to give you a handout that lists some scenarios that might lead an experienced teacher to go back to the other side of the desk and earn a CELTA. You\'ll also see a box with some motivations. Please match the scenarios to the motivations in the box.

Great.</p>\n<p><strong>Controlled Practice 2</strong>: Again in your pairs, I\'d like you to talk about what kinds of difficulties you think an experienced teacher might face when taking an intensive teacher training course like the CELTA. You have two minutes to talk.</p>\n<p>Okay, I heard some great discussion out there. Well done.</p>\n<p>In a moment, I\'m going to ask you to flip your handout over to the other side. You\'ll see some sentences with blanks. Think of an appropriate word to add to the blank.  I\'ve given you the first letter of the word, and the first one is done for you as an example.  Okay, take a look.</p>\n<p>1.	Experienced teachers tend to <strong>u</strong><em>nderestimate</em> the intensity of the CELTA coursework. <br />2.	 Experiences teachers often rely too much on their previous k_____________.<br />3.	Experienced teachers can have a tough time a______________ new methods.<br />4.

What did you get for #2?  Very good. #3? Yes, that\'s right. And #4? Yes. And how might that difficulty taking criticism manifest itself?  Ah yes, that leads us to #5.<br />(answers: 2. knowledge; 3. adopting/adjusting to/adapting; 4. criticism; 5. shaving cream)</p>\n<p><strong>Freer Practice/Productive Exercise</strong>:  Imagine again that you\'re that teacher who\'d done a TEFL and are now going on to complete the CELTA. The course is at an end and you want to share your experience with other teachers via a blog at a TEFL oriented website like Ajarn.com.  What was your experience like? Outside the context of the CELTA itself, what did you learn? Please write at least 400 words and you have the rest of class period for this task.</p>\n<p>I ignored what my friends had told me and what I\'d read online. I took the pre-course prescriptions about the intensity of the CELTA as pro forma warnings to scare off the lazy. I thought of myself as a pretty good teacher and all of my students survey feedback at work backed up my confidence. I thought the CELTA was going to be if not easy, then at least easier for me than it would be for other, less experienced candidates. I was a little bit cocky.</p>\n<p>That was my first mistake.</p>\n<p>I even went as far as contemplating \'tanking\' my first teaching practice (TP), which with a CELTA, can come on your second day of training. My thought was that by purposefully delivering an awkward, poorly delivered, ill-conceived lesson, I could start low and show major improvement through the rest of my course.  It just crossed my mind; I didn\'t actually tank my first lesson. I used all the skills developed over two years in the classroom and did quite well, by my own reckoning.</p>\n<p>When I got my feedback from that lesson, I was mildly shocked to see that the tutor had given me more points that \'needed improvement\' than things I did well. Wait, I thought I did pretty well.</p>\n<p>The same thing happened in the next TP and the one after that.  On that third TP, I even got a dreaded \"Not to standard\" on my level of \'teacher talking time\'.  Whoah. I got an \"N\"?  But the students loved my lesson!</p>\n<p>My second mistake was not realizing something very essential about what the CELTA tutors are looking for.  It\'s not about delivery. There are no points given for being funny.</p>\n<p>How much the students enjoyed the lesson is not a criteria in their assessment. Instead, they\'re more interested in content.  They want a learning aim achieved; they want the students to be educated, not entertained.</p>\n<p>I think back to when I was first leaving for SE Asia to become a teacher and some advice my mother gave me. She had been a teacher herself earlier in life. See, in my free time, I enjoy acting, videography and playing my ukulele at open mics wherever I can find them. Mom told me back then: \"teaching is not an open mic night!\".</p>\n<p>I was paying thousands of dollars to learn something my mother told me.</p>\n<p>Of course, the CELTA teaches one a lot more than platitudes about student-centered versus teacher-led learning. You also get a lot of really great examples of teaching techniques and how to stage a lesson in logical and effective ways.</p>\n<p>My advice to experienced teachers is pay very close attention to how the input sessions are delivered.  Emulate the classroom management methodology of your tutors while teaching the students.</p>\n<p>The sooner you forget what you think you know about how to run a class, the sooner you\'ll shine in the eyes of your tutors. You must unlearn what you\'ve learned.</p>\n<p>Don\'t judge the methods. You may think their way of delivering a language or skills lesson is dull and formulaic, and you can do it better and make it more fun for the students.</p>\n<p>You\'ll be sorely disappointed when you get your feedback and find you\'re not to standard. This can generate resentment and even anger and you may find yourself disregarding the tutors direction and thinking to yourself: I already know how to teach!</p>\n<p>Fortunately, that was not my third mistake.</p>\n<p>In the second half of the CELTA, I sorta figured this stuff out. I realized it wasn\'t about how well I delivered the lesson; instead, it was about what the students got out of it. It\'s not about me!</p>\n<p>I copied every technique I could to reduce teacher-talking-time and found that I could get a lot more into that 45-minute lesson than I ever thought I could.  There were no further \"not to standards\".</p>\n<p>All in all, I think the experience is going to make me a much more effective teacher when I go back to work. If I had maintained my cocksureness and taught the way I always had, I\'m not sure I\'d be at this point now, a newly accredited CELTA graduate.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-05-16 03:12:06',1,'2015-05-16 03:12:06','2015-05-16 17:05:07'),(26129,20,'How I got out of teaching','how-i-got-out-of-teaching','I gave up the classroom but still managed to stay in Thailand','Many of the people I\'ve met along the way have asked me how I managed to study and work at the same time, or how I got such a cool job, or where to look for a job and so on.','<p>So like a lot of people coming to Thailand in their early 20\'s, I was here originally for my 21st birthday, I fell in love with the place. I spent the next 2 years between working in the UK and traveling around South East Asia and dropping out of university in the process.</p>\n<h3>Early days</h3>\n<p>I never really decided to live here but after getting lots of work as a TV extra and finally becoming an ESL teacher I stopped calling the UK home and was living in Thailand. From around 2004 -2010 I worked full time for a few different schools - my main job being on the Nonthaburi English Project with Ramkhamheang University. I stayed with the program for nearly five years and by this time had seen many people either generally drop out of life or just return home to a \"real job\".</p>\n<p>It must have been around late 2009 when my Mum and dad came to visit me and my long term girlfriend (now my wife), of course they loved it and it was actually their second time here but they had their concerns. I had now spent the majority of the last 7 years or so living away from home and not really working towards a career plan.</p>\n<h3>Parental guidance</h3>\n<p>They weren\'t being pushy but the idea of being 60, in Thailand with no pension and no real accomplishments really scared me. Before they left to return home we decided I would look into studying for a new degree.</p>\n<p>I chatted to a few friends over the next few months and tried to make something work with my employer. Don\'t forget they were a university and surely they would be able to help. You would have thought they would have actually wanted educated teachers with degrees working for them but they didn\'t help.</p>\n<p>So then I started to look at the options. I could work all week and study at the weekend or study full time and work around my studies. Either way I needed a lot of money - around 200,000 in the bank to cover my first few university payments and then to cover the drop in income I was going to make.</p>\n<p>At this time I was working 7 days a week so whichever way I was going to get a degree, I was going to be working less.</p>\n<p>After a lot of debate and searching for the right course at the right price, I ended up enrolling in a full-time degree at a private university in Bangkok to study international business. It might seem an odd choice but it couldn\'t have worked out better. All these choices took a long time to decide on and going into all of them would make this story way too long.</p>\n<h3>Back at uni</h3>\n<p>It was hard at first going back to university at the age of 28 but the first year flew by. I pretty much had to re-learn mathematics all the way up to calculus level which was tough but rewarding. I had a great part-time job that filled my evenings, weekends and other time off.</p>\n<p>I originally planned to make all my money in the holidays teaching summer classes but when I enrolled, I found out that the international faculty was going to follow international term dates, so I ended up studing all day, &nbsp;nearly 5 days a week.</p>\n<p>I also travelled a lot, worked late and did assignments in the early hours. It was a killer and for 4 years I didn\'t stop. Looking back, I must have come over as quite crazy and I wasn\'t the nicest boyfriend to be honest.</p>\n<p>The four years flew by and I graduated top of my class with first class honors and more importantly a completely different set of goals. I had gone into university to get educated and try to beat the tightening of the rules on teaching in Thailand, but once I was out I wanted to go in to business.</p>\n<h3>Looking for a new direction</h3>\n<p>My partner and I had already been running a small business for 5 years and now I wanted more. I did apply for some teaching roles just to be safe but I was looking for a role in a company to start off my new career here in Thailand. It took in total around 6 months to finally sign a contract. In that time I was offered around 5 non-teaching jobs, all with good wages, well good enough for a novice starting out. A few jobs fell through due to visa problems but the one job I had been holding out for suddenly fell in my lap.</p>\n<p>I have now been working for a famous British company for over 4 months and in that time I have taken eight different trips to around seven different countries, including the UK to visit head office and luckily see mum and dad for the weekend. I have an amazing boss and fellow team.</p>\n<p>I never worked in a big international school so maybe my view of teaching in Thailand is unfairly bias but when you have spent years teaching in government schools, your views of the industry are pretty low.</p>\n<p>I wanted to write this is show others that there are other options out there. Some people love teaching and that is great, other people just love living in Asia and just teach to stay here - and that was me.</p>\n<h3>My advice</h3>\n<p>Many of the people I met along the way asked me how I managed to study and work at the same time or how I got such a cool job, or where to look for a job and so on....... and there are a few simple answers.</p>\n<p>1: I planned around 2 years in advance all of the time and ran a tight budget (but I still some had some fun)</p>\n<p>2: I worked every hour possible, which meant doing test prep and reports at crazy hours but it was worth it.</p>\n<p>3: I studied hard and was rewarded with part scholarships for 3 of my 4 years for having the best grades (that really helped because they were basically 50% of what I had paid for that year)</p>\n<p>4: My partner was an amazing rock for me and kept me fed when I had no time to do anything else but stare at a computer screen</p>\n<p>5. I knew Mum and Dad were there if things got harder, but I didn\'t use them!</p>\n<p>6: I treated my employers at my part time job really well and was always very friendly. I never complained and I knew if I lost classes or even the job it would ruin my whole plan. You have to learn to smile at Thai people. They like nice people.</p>\n<p>7: I have my own motor bike and without that it would have been impossible to travel between Nonthaburi where my work was and university in Bangkok. I even had to teach sometimes while still wearing my university uniform, but if I had been using buses, I wouldn\'t have even made the classes and taxis would have exhausted all my savings.</p>\n<p>8. After graduating I kept the same job and spent my days wading through job sites and newspapers. On average I must have spent 5 hours a day searching for jobs and sending off my CV (Have a good CV).</p>\n<p><strong>Richard Davis</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/necktie2.jpg','2015-05-18 06:40:10',1,'2015-05-18 06:40:10','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(26212,71,'Reprieve from the Thai heat','reprieve-from-the-thai-heat','A trip to Tuscany','Don\'t get me wrong, I love Thailand.

But, being of Italian heritage and having visited four times already, I couldn\'t pass up the opportunity to meet my sister in Rome a few weeks ago to hire a car and drive around Tuscany and the Mediterranean Coast. It was a great (and expensive) reprieve from the summer heat of Thailand, and with a set of wheels we were able to see places you just couldn\'t easily get to on trains or buses.</p>\n<h3>Leaving Thailand and Returning</h3>\n<p>First, a few notes on flying and airlines. If you have a visa in Thailand already, don\'t forget to get a re-entry permit! It\'s 1,900 baht at immigration (just because they can), although I did see a re-entry permit application desk right at passport control at Suvarnabhumi Airport too. I\'m not sure how well it works, but when I was there on a Sunday evening, there was nobody in the queue!</p>\n<p>If you don\'t get this permit, whatever visa you have will be voided as soon as you leave. Friend of mine found that out the hard way.</p>\n<p>Airlines-wise, I flew over with Ethiad, and I must say... I was impressed. The food and drinks were actually good (a first for me on a flight-the wine was even in A BOTTLE!), the seats were surprisingly comfy for economy class, and if you had already checked in online, you could go straight to the business class desk at the airport to pass through.</p>\n<p>For the trip back, I flew FinnAir... and let me just say, anyone wishing to fly a Western airline over a Middle Eastern or Asian one is basically asking for a prison with well-dressed guards. The seats were terrible on the older plane I ended up on from Helsinki back to Bangkok, and the food/drinks were atrocious.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t even eat what looked like a prison-issued ration (nor tell what it was), and I wasn\'t even allowed a glass of wine after \"dinner\" had been served. Considering that flight cost more than the Ethiad flight, I\'d say I was done over.</p>\n<h3>Hiring/Renting a car in Rome</h3>\n<p>I met my sister in Rome\'s Fiumicino Airport (Leonardo da Vinci International), which is a busy and somewhat unorganized airport on a good day (took me an hour and a half just to get through passport control thanks to the inevitable Chinese tour groups present), but the international terminal caught fire three days before I left, so leaving was a complete cluster... well, you get the idea.</p>\n<p>Hiring a car isn\'t that expensive if you do it online, and several European companies offer REALLY cheap rentals if you\'re willing to take a shuttle from the airport a short way. We did, and got a little manual Fiat for 6 days that only cost about 10 euros/day. That\'s cheap!</p>\n<p>I\'ve driven in Italy before (Milan to Nice in France, and I don\'t recommend driving in Milan\'s madness), but I\'ve never driven around the country just to sightsee. Way good decision; there\'s so much beautiful scenery that you just can\'t easily see using trains or buses.</p>\n<h3>Driving around Tuscany</h3>\n<p>I\'ve been to Florence a few times already, but this time my sister and I decided to take the roads less traveled and just drive around with no plans whatsoever. If a name sounded good or a map showed a lake or park nearby, we went there.</p>\n<p>We ended up driving though several provinces adjacent to Florence, often not realizing we weren\'t officially in Tuscany... but it didn\'t matter. The countryside driving from Rome towards Florence is stunningly beautiful; as an American, I am in awe that a country as historical as Italy (and all of Europe, for that matter) is able to keep urban sprawl from destroying natural beauty as it often does in the States (and Thailand).</p>\n<p>Sure, we visited towns each day and found hotels whenever it started to get dark (thank you, Booking.com, for your relatively cheap room selections), but for the most part our days consisted of beautiful scenery.</p>\n<p><strong>A few recommendations:</strong> if you\'re addicted to the internet, you\'ll definitely want to get an Italian SIM card for your phone. Wi-fi in Italy is nothing like Thailand; it\'s not easy to find, and even if you DO find it at a bar/restaurant, its speed is typically abysmal.</p>\n<p>If you take our route (not bothering with internet for the most part), I\'d recommend downloading an offline map to use with your smartphone\'s GPS (Maps.me on Android worked remarkably well for a free app for us), and buying some Skype or similar credit for the times you really need to call a hotel or hostel you\'ve booked (although finding the Wi-Fi to do that isn\'t easy).</p>\n<p>Also, Italy is a lot like Thailand in that not everywhere takes credit cards, especially US-style \"swiping\" (chipless) cards. Make sure you have access to some euros!</p>\n<h3>Some highlights:</h3>\n<p>Lago di Bracciano: a sleepy little triad of towns on a lake not more than an hour or so north out of Rome. Looked like a great weekend getaway for urbanites.</p>\n<p>Montefascone: a small, cute hilltop town overlooking another large lake (Lago di Bolsena) with a great old side and beautiful church. Great sunset over the lake.</p>\n<p>Civita di Bagnoreggio: talk about picturesque. This old, old, old hilltop city is only accessible by foot; you park and walk about 15 minutes up a quite steep path to reach it. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A bit touristy, but well worth the trek.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Italy1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Montepulciano: a more touristy small city in the neighborhood of Florence. Great eats and wine (as with everywhere in Italy), and also (as always) great views of the surrounding countryside.</p>\n<p>Pienza: my personal favorite town we visited. Very chill, a small/compact old city center with cute restaurants, and a spectacular view of surrounding pastures. There\'s not much happening here; it\'s just a pretty little Tuscan town.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Italy3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Volterra: to me, very similar to a small version of Florence, yet atop a small mountain (in my eyes, anyway). Great views, old Roman ruins, and plenty of little side streets to explore.</p>\n<p>Lucca: another small version of Florence, but with more of a college town feel. Several great restaurants and pubs we found, and it\'s only an hour\'s drive from the Mediterranean coast.</p>\n<p>Cinque Terra: actually a region of five smaller towns, this is a VERY touristy area thanks to the train that connects them. That said, it is very reminiscent of the Italian Rivera region you see between Monaco and Genoa, thus, very beautiful. More impressive than the towns, though, was the drive between them all. Mountain driving, hairpin turns, steep grades... scary, but well worth it for the spectacular views.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Italy2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Gaeta: actually about 7 hours south of Cinque Terre (between Rome and Naples), we visited here because we have extended family in the area. Gaeta itself is a bit touristy, but is a pretty old city overlooking the Mediterranean with plenty of restaurants and shops to peruse.</p>\n<p>Castel Gandolfo: another little hilltop town overlooking a lake (Lago di Albano), this is a great getaway from Rome and is only about a 15 minute drive from Rome\'s smaller Ciampino Airport (RyanAir and discount carriers run out of Ciampino).</p>\n<h3>A Great Experience</h3>\n<p>Yes, within the span of just over a week, we covered a lot of territory. We\'re the kinds of travelers who loathe planning and want to be on no sort of time schedule. If you\'re also like that, definitely get some wheels and just explore Italy... there\'s much to be found! I miss the wine, coffee, and cheese already.</p>\n<p>I think my next trip, once my finances recover from this one (read: never), will be to explore Switzerland and its borders with Germany and Austria... singing The Sound of Music all the way. I love Europe!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Well, he\'s put together a fine blog about living and surviving in Bangkok - including a list of his favourite places to eat and his favourite rooftop bars. There\'s also a section on where to party. I guess you\'re only young once. <a href=\"https://apaddyabroad.wordpress.com/2015/05/28/bangkok-101/\">Anyway, you\'ll find it all in Paddy\'s \'Bangkok 101\'</a></p>\n<p>Blogs are always much easier on the eye when there are plenty of great photographs to look at. And if it\'s photos and well-written info that you\'re after, check out Kaleena\'s Kaleidoscope website because it really is one of the nicest teacher blogs I\'ve seen.</p>\n<p>Kaleena\'s latest offering is titled <a href=\"http://kaleenaskaleidoscope.com/6-interesting-and-hilarious-things-about-teaching-in-thailand/\">\'Six Interesting and Hilarious Things About Teaching in Thailand\'</a> and includes ladyboys, signs in bad English and the strange array of school uniforms that she sees around campus. It\'s a very light-hearted and interesting read.</p>\n<p>Not directly linked to teaching in Thailand, but still enjoyable, is this guide to <a href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/things-you-should-never-say-to-an-expat-2015-5\">\'the six things that you should never say to an expat\'</a> which features on Business Insider website. My favourite \'thing that you should never say\' is when folks say \"why aren\'t you fluent in the language yet?\" - and I totally agree with the answer by the way.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Bangkok taxi drivers - they don\'t always get the best press do they? But Thailand bloggers, Cat and Nat, want to put forward a contrasting opinion with their blog titled <a href=\"http://www.catandnat.com/the-brilliant-taxi-drivers-of-bangkok/\">\'The Brilliant Taxi Drivers of Bangkok\'</a></p>\n<p>Chris and Angela\'s award-winning blog site - Tieland to Thailand - continues to go from strength to strength.

There are plenty of comments as well from other like-minded souls who made their dream become a reality.</p>\n<p>Thai streetfood lovers should look away now, A Farang Abroad has written a blog on <a href=\"http://afarangabroad.com/2015/05/bangkok-street-food.html\">why he\'s stopped eating streetfood</a>. Definitely some food for thought there.</p>\n<p>When I travel around Bangkok and especially when I\'m in an unfamiliar neighborhood, I\'m constantly amazed at some of the little bakeries, coffee shops and quirky restaurants that have sprung up. And very often there has clearly been a good deal of money spent on them. The Insider\'s Guide to Bangkok <a href=\"http://bk.asia-city.com/restaurants/news/8-new-cafes-around-bangkok-may-2015\">has done a great feature on 8 new cafes in the city</a> - and they all look well worth a visit if I may say so.</p>\n<p>Fancy teaching English in rural Thailand?

Since I was on vacation, she invited me to go with her to meet my sister-in-law\'s associates at the airport because after that they would go to the Mall of Asia (MOA), the 2nd largest mall in Asia located at the reclaimed area in Pasay City, Philippines for shopping.</p>\n<p>I hadn\'t been to that mall for a year so I agreed. She instructed me to be at the airport at 7:00 o\'clock at Terminal 2 Airport where Philippine Air Lines planes land. I rushed to the airport   as early as 5:00 o\'clock to avoid the traffic but I forgot my cell phone. I was at the airport in less than an hour. It was already 6:45 in the morning but there was no trace of my wife and sister-in-law.</p>\n<p>I thought I was at the wrong airport because I overheard our neighbors   conversing with one another the previous day that my wife\'s brother in-law would arrive that day too. Perhaps my wife and sister-in-law were at Terminal 3, the  airport where international flights land.</p>\n<p>I hailed a yellow taxi and the driver let me in his cab but told me, he would drop me a few meters ahead because there was a queue. When I reached the taxi stop I got out and 15    passengers were waiting. A dispatcher asked me where I was going.   I told him to Terminal 2 but he recommended a free shuttle. Anyway, I opted for a cab because I was in a hurry.</p>\n<p>After some minutes, my taxi came. I sat next to the driver and directed him to Terminal 3. While I was preoccupied with a lot of thoughts, the driver   told me he would not flag the meter down for it was so close. I didn\'t answer him.</p>\n<p>When I reached Terminal 3, I asked how much the fare was. He answered   it\'s up to me (perhaps expecting a bigger tip) but I asked again, how much would he really charge me.  I didn\'t   like to give him the idea that I was an overseas foreign worker (OFW) for if he did, he would charge me more.</p>\n<p>He then said 150 (3.50 $). I got my wallet and handed him a 500 peso bill (about 11.50$). He was apologetic saying he had only 150 with him and he had got no change. I told him to get the bill changed from fellow drivers or somewhere else, but  right away he said  those people didn\'t have change either, even if he had not gotten out of his taxi to ask. (another strategy of theirs to get a bigger charge because he  knew I was in a hurry and he might have thought I would give him the entire amount).</p>\n<p>So I told him he should provide change every time. He said, \"There was really none.\" I told him \"I will complain. So this is your name.\"(Pointing to his ID). I got a pen and paper while I was in the act of writing his name. He said, \"Never mind. You just pay me in another instance when we meet each other.\" He was afraid   because he didn\'t like to be reported of not flagging- down his meter. I got out and there I got a free taxi ride.</p>\n<p>I entered the airport and looked for my wife and sister-in-law for quite a time. Unable to find them I decided to go back to Terminal 2. But before that, I had my money changed in a money changer, got out and looked for the driver. I wanted to spare him half of my money as a token for taking me to the terminal but he was no longer there.</p>\n<p>I got another taxi. This time he flagged-down his meter. When I reached Terminal 2, the meter recorded 150 pesos. So the first driver was after all honest in charging me 150. His only faults were  he did not use his meter and did not give me the right change.</p>\n<p>I was sorry for the driver for he did not flag-down his meter and did not provide loose change or smaller bills for passengers who were in a hurry. I just hope that someday, I ride his taxi again and that time I will double my fare.</p>','','2015-06-04 20:13:10',1,'2015-06-04 20:13:10','2015-06-05 10:10:11'),(26502,21,'The Burning Question - What\'s the future for Thailand TEFL?','the-burning-question-june-2015','Teachers give their opinions on something related to teaching in Thailand','This month\'s burning question is what kind of state will the \'teaching in Thailand\' industry be in five years from now? ','<p>OK, here\'s a very serious question to all you teachers out there. I want you to look into your crystal balls. What changes do you see as regards teaching in Thailand over the next five years?</p>\n<p>I think it\'s a given that salaries won\'t increase that much (or you may well disagree with that statement) but what other changes might there be? (you guys know better than me because you\'re in the front line)</p>\n<p>Will Filipino teachers or other ASEAN nationalities be filling more positions here? Will ASEAN make a difference at all?&nbsp;Will schools that find it hard to recruit teachers just simply give up?&nbsp;Will the short-term volunteer / gap year teacher become more popular? Let us know what you think.</p>\n<h3>Derek says.....</h3>\n<p>As the West becomes less and less attractive to live in thanks to collapsing birth rates, low social trust, race/class riots, decay of traditional values, high cost of university education and suffocating political correctness, more people will emigrate for the charms of the East.</p>\n<p>This overabundance of westerners (many of whom will teach) will keep salaries down, because let\'s face it, a 30,000 baht salary in the sunshine is preferable to most than staying in a decaying post-industrial wasteland for the dole, endless political bickering and the faux outrage of the millennial generation.</p>\n<h3>Mike says.....</h3>\n<p>There\'s no strong reason to think it\'ll be much different than it is now. The laws and requirements will continue to change around fairly pointlessly every six months or so (so that teachers are forced to jump through hoops just to understand the current laws). The industry will continue to have a large turnover due to typical problems like lack of professionalism and senseless constantly changing requirements.</p>\n<p>ASEAN will probably change things very little. Thailand is typically a bit xenophobic and it\'s doubtful there\'ll suddenly be a strong demand for English language skills taught by foreign teachers.</p>\n<p>Translation software is constantly improving, but it\'s a long way from perfect. Its improvements will delude some learners into thinking they can translate any Thai they want into English and it\'ll be intelligible.</p>\n<h3>Arto says....</h3>\n<p>In five years time, I see huge amounts of Thai teachers retiring, thus creating even more demand for the English teachers.</p>\n<p>Within the next five years the ASEAN will be probably be up and running for visa/work permit related issues, making it virtually a breeze to hire other ASEAN nationalities (Philipinos, Singaporeans etc). Some countries from the African continent will also be contributing towards the teacher pool.</p>\n<p>As for the westerners, Thailand will continue to attract more and more people from the Western countries. Unfortunately, I do believe they will be mostly just here for a few semesters.</p>\n<p>I do not foresee a big increase in the salaries paid to teachers (government schools mostly), and given the 3% annual inflation in Thailand, the cost of living is getting more and more expensive for foreigners (who have to take care of farang-specific costs as visas/work permits, visa runs, extensions of stay etc).</p>\n<p>Thailand will probably try to implement new nationwide curriculums and standards, but within five-year\'s time, things will be back as they are now.</p>\n<p>As the students have more opportunities to move and work within the ASEAN community, the demand for English teaching and tutoring will increase.</p>\n<h3>Aaron says....</h3>\n<p>If ASEAN is ever going to be of benefit to Thailand, then they will seriously have to step up their game because they are lagging well behind other nations in terms of general capability with the English language. I imagine there will be a lot more government investment into English teaching if they want to keep up with the ASEAN integration.</p>\n<p>It will be very interesting to see what Thailand\'s approach to the situation will be.</p>\n<h3>Chris says....</h3>\n<p>We all know that teacher salaries have risen very little over the last 15-20 years. Why should the next five years be any different?</p>\n<h3>Thomas says....</h3>\n<p>I\'ve been at the same government school for three years now and every single year it gets tougher for the recruitment department to find and hire teachers. There\'s a sort of \'fuzzy logic\' going on. The school thinks that teachers should just be grateful for the opportunity to work in this amazing country but they don\'t really appreciate how much money a foreigner needs to earn in order to survive here. So the result is fewer and fewer teachers applying for vacancies.</p>\n<h3>Carol says....</h3>\n<p>Five years ago, I worked in a staff room with about twenty teaching colleagues. I would say that 80% of them were Westerners here for the long haul and looking to stay in Thailand for as many years as possible. Now I work in a staff room with a dozen teachers, most of who are here for just one semester. I think we\'re certainly seeing the end of the teacher who wants to work in Thailand and make the country their home.</p>\n<h3>Dave says....</h3>\n<p>I think that EFL will actually be a growth industry within the region (and in Thailand) BUT...</p>\n<p>Professional teachers (trained as teachers) will become more the norm than the exception.</p>\n<p>ASEAN nationals (real teachers who speak English at a competent level) will take a larger slice of the lower end job market and the writing is already on the wall that overpriced, under qualified, long-nosed-white-faces will, more and more, be on the way out.</p>\n<p>ASEAN \"English teachers\" whose English skills are sub par ie: lower than TOEIC-700+/IELTS 6.5+ will also be hard pressed to find work or stay employed as will those with unrelated degrees and no professional teacher training.</p>\n<p>As to the issues with the TCT and waivers ... I see those becoming more entrenched and more fluid (constantly moving goal posts for a waiver). If you plan to stay here as a teacher then get qualified (able to get licensed) or look at China, Cambodia or Laos to continue your TEFL run abroad.</p>\n<p>There has been and will continue to be a place for qualified teachers - those folks with education related qualifications &amp; certifications  (EFL and subject related) and their pay will continue to stay at the top of the heap. Once you get your license, there has never (until you age out) been an issue with non-b visas, waivers (no longer needed), work permits (you are qualified to work) and there is no need to even look at those 30k jobs.</p>\n<p>If you look at the job posting boards, forums, and social media there is a steady stream of job postings in the 35-50k range for BA holders and no shortage of jobs over 60k (plus benefits) for anyone with some teaching qualifications beyond a BA and a white face.</p>\n<p>For the gap year teachers there will always be the 30k option.</p>\n<p>EFL is still a growth industry.</p>\n<h3>Dan says....</h3>\n<p>I see a new generation of Thai teachers coming into Thai schools to lessen the need for foreign teachers - but there will still be plenty of work for foreign teachers, especially those with qualifications &amp; experience.</p>\n<p>English language learning is on the increase the world over. Furthermore there will be a lot more international schools in Thailand &amp; SE Asia.</p>\n<p>ISC predict - \"by 2024, Asia is forecast to have well over 7,000 international schools and over 5.5 million students,\" - there will be a huge shortage of qualified teachers in this part of the world.

In my few years in Thailand, I\'ve both applied to and interviewed with a number of different schools (many of which were through Ajarn.com), so I thought it may help those new to the profession to clarify a few points, along with what general qualifications you need to even bother applying. I\'m not discussing language schools here (read: mall-based English), only K-12 schools.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Please note that these are just MY experiences, and I\'m sure others have had different experiences. Also, remember the golden rule that applies to all jobs: it\'s not necessarily what you know, it\'s who you know.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Although this isn\'t really fair judging by the quality of the students OR teachers, Thailand is all about image. In keeping with that (which also generally follows salaries), I\'ll rank them from what Thais usually consider least to most prestigious. Starting at the most common and most likely for first-timers in Thailand (aka, the bottom)</p>\n<h3>A Thai government school</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview:</strong> this is the true \"teaching in Thailand\" experience, as it\'s the most \"foreign\" to most foreigners. In most schools, these are considered the \"regular program\" English classes. Responsibilities are generally relatively low, though, with the teacher often teaching 1-3 subjects/levels, just serving the position of \"token foreigner.\"</p>\n<p><strong>Hiring:</strong> these schools will often hire through an agency due to high teacher turnover (due either to the school itself or the transient nature of teachers), although some hire directly with the school. Advertisements are common online (like this site), as few schools have their own [updated] websites.</p>\n<p>Schools generally run May-September and October-March or so, so peak hiring seasons are typically April/May and October, although turnover often means you can get a job any time of year; Thai schools are notorious for doing things last-minute.</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> technically, these schools require only a degree in any field, although I\'ve worked with several people who don\'t have degrees. Note, though, that most I know working without degrees are finding it increasingly harder to find teaching positions due to the government requiring degrees to get work permits, and in term, visas to live in Thailand.</p>\n<p>A TEFL certificate is most often \"highly desired\" but not required; in my experience, it becomes something to differentiate who gets the job if two candidates are up and it\'s the only difference. That said, the TEFL can be highly helpful, especially for people with zero experience in teaching before. Those with degrees in education should look elsewhere.</p>\n<p><strong>Salaries/Responsibilities:</strong> in my experience, salaries here range from 25-35,000 baht (in Bangkok), and teachers teach (not counting actual hours in the school) generally 15-22 periods per week in non-air conditioned classrooms with class sizes ranging from 40-60 students.</p>\n<h3>Thai government schools with English Programs</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview:</strong> government schools often have these dedicated English programs, often called an EP, MEP (Mini English Program), or some other derivation.</p>\n<p>These programs operate as part of the overall public school, but consist of students whose parents pay for them to have dedicated English teachers (and air conditioning) for most subjects (usually alongside the same subjects in Thai). Generally, these programs are financial prerogatives of the school; the programs aren\'t necessarily that special for the students, but their budgets often pay for parts of the overall school budget.</p>\n<p><strong>Hiring:</strong> typically the same as a regular government school, although these programs are more likely to hire teachers directly with the school from advertisement websites (yet still often use agencies).</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> requirements are usually the same as basic schools (see above).</p>\n<p><strong>Salaries/Responsibilities:</strong> the students\' English levels generally are slightly better than those in the \"regular program,\" and teacher responsibilities for these generally 20-30 student classes are more than those teaching the larger classes. Salaries tend to be about the same or slightly higher than the regular programs, although teaching hours are generally less as teachers have to plan multiple different classes at different levels versus those teaching in regular programs.</p>\n<h3>Private Schools</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview:</strong> considered a bit more \"upscale\" in terms of education (because you have to pay to study), private schools are a bit of a grey area, as they can widely vary in terms of who attends them and what subjects/areas they focus on.</p>\n<p>In my experience, although the students often come from wealthier backgrounds than those going to basic government schools, teaching responsibilities, requirements, workloads, and salaries are roughly the same. The largest difference I\'ve discerned (--and someone tell me if they\'ve experienced otherwise) is that the administration in these schools is generally more hands-on (read: watching you) and the class sizes are more manageable.</p>\n<h3>Demonstration Schools</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview:</strong> these are an interesting lot; while they are usually also government schools, demonstration schools are attached to a university as a training ground for new teachers. Thais consider these to be upper-echelon public schools, and admission to the programs (especially for secondary school) is often competitive.</p>\n<p><strong>Hiring:</strong> these schools follow the Thai government school schedule for the most part, although I have come across one or two that follow their university\'s schedule (which typically follows a Western calendar). Friends of friends/acquaintances are generally picked through first, with advertisements on job websites usually following.</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> these schools generally will not hire a teacher without experience unless he/she has a teaching qualification (TEFL isn\'t considered such). You\'ll need a degree (undergraduate or graduate) in education and/or a good deal of experience to be considered for a position here, and teacher turnover isn\'t as high as at a normal Thai school.</p>\n<p><strong>Salaries/Responsibilities:</strong> starting salaries here are usually 50-65,000 baht/month, and often include benefits such as insurance and/or contract completion bonuses (extra month\'s salary, paid flight to visit home, etc.).</p>\n<p>The responsibilities are more in line with what a Western school would want, with more modern teaching pedagogy used than normal Thai schools. That said, there will still be some large classes, depending on if you\'re in the English Program (or whatever they call it) or not.</p>\n<p>To me, demonstration schools are trying to be more like Western/international schools, but are run by Thai-influenced Ph.D-holding administration.</p>\n<h3>Bilingual Schools</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview:</strong> slightly blurring into the private school realm are \"bilingual\" schools. As the name implies, these schools usually follow the same curriculum (often Singaporean or other Asian-based curriculums), and teach most subjects either in both languages (Thai and English/Japanese/Chinese/etc.), or primarily in the second language with most activities and reinforcements in Thai.</p>\n<p>Bilingual schools are often the starting step for semi-qualified (i.e., have actual teaching licenses) teachers to eventually move up the ladder (see the next category).</p>\n<p><strong>Hiring:</strong> bilingual schools are a mixed bag. Sometimes, you can find an advertisement online (such as this website), but more often, the schools tend to advertise from within their own existing connections (such as friends/acquaintances of employed teachers) or from advertisements on their own websites.</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> although not always the case, bilingual schools generally want teachers with some sort of teaching qualification (more than a TEFL), setting these apart from government schools and many private schools. I do know of people working in bilingual schools with only a basic degree, but they have years of teaching experience.</p>\n<p><strong>Salaries/Responsibilities:</strong> salaries for these schools (in Bangkok, and in my experience) start around 40,000, and I\'ve never come across a starting position above around 50,000. Subject-specific teachers (especially Math/Science) tend to earn higher salaries here, class sizes usually aren\'t more than 30-35, and the general atmosphere is a mix between a Thai school (read: disorganized) and a more Western-style school.</p>\n<h3>International Schools</h3>\n<p><strong>Overview</strong>: for career (long-term) teachers wanting to actually live in Thailand permanently, these are considered the Mecca of teaching. Curriculums and management are typically Western-based, and are basically adapted versions of the schools expats attended in their home countries.</p>\n<p>Students almost always come from wealthy backgrounds as fees to these schools can be painfully high, and facilities are typically excellent (projectors in every room, pool on campus, etc.).</p>\n<p>Within this category, though, there are what are considered upper-tier schools (read: expensive and respected), mid-tier, and lower-tier schools (blurring into the category of bilingual/private schools). The main difference in these tiers, to me, is the amount of money parents pay and the marketing the school does, just like any good business model.</p>\n<p><strong>Hiring:</strong> these are the hardest to get positions with, as [especially the upper-tier] schools usually prefer to hire teachers from their home countries and have them relocate to Thailand.</p>\n<p>Calendars typically reflect the country whose curriculum is used, typically August-May, and hiring often starts well in advance; many of the top-respected schools begin hiring in November/December for the following August start date.</p>\n<p>It is possible to get hired \"locally\" (already living in Thailand), but the schools seem to consider these teachers to be somehow jaded (in my experience), and local hires usually make considerably less and/or have less benefits than teachers hired abroad.</p>\n<p><strong>Qualifications:</strong> with few exceptions, teachers in the top international schools have valid teaching licenses in their home countries. This means teachers have undergraduate degrees in education and have completed the licensing requirements as well. A few years\' experience is usually required too, although the mid and lower-tiered schools have been known to hire teachers straight out of university.</p>\n<p>PGCE/QTS are typically a must for British-curriculum schools, and a valid state teaching license is a must for American-curriculum schools.</p>\n<p><strong>Salaries/Responsibilities:</strong> these are very similar to what a Western school would offer and expect; these are basically Western schools operating in Thailand. Small class sizes, extra-curricular involvement, regular parent/teacher conferences, and other school functions are the norm (in contrast with Thai-style schools).</p>\n<p>Salaries are sometimes paid in the currency of the country of origin (although most often in Thai baht), and are on par with what teachers would make in their home countries. I\'ve seen salaries ranging from 65,000 baht at lower-tiered schools all the way up to 120,000 baht per month (or more), alongside housing allowances, benefits, and bonuses. Obviously, this varies according to the school and the background of the applicant.<br /><br />So, there you have it.

Writing angry blogs is therapeutic you might say.</p>\n<p>I\'ve flown with Emirates many times over the past decade or so. For my annual trip back to England (to see the family) Emirates has always been my go-to airline. I\'m not what you would call a frequent flyer but I\'d like to think I at least fall into the category of &lsquo;loyal customer\'.</p>\n<h3>Let\'s do business class!</h3>\n<p>In April of this year, my wife and I decided to spend our two-week annual holiday in New Zealand. We\'d been there before, loved it and were long overdue a return.</p>\n<p>Not many airlines fly from Bangkok to Christchurch on New Zealand\'s South Island but while doing our internet research, we saw that not only did Emirates fly that particular route (as a partner with Qantas) but they were offering their business class for 95,000 baht a person. This seemed like an excellent deal and Emirates\' business class got rave reviews on every travel website and forum we looked at.</p>\n<p>To Hell with it! New Zealand was the trip of a lifetime. Let\'s splash the cash and do it in style we thought. After booking our flights, it\'s fair to say that we started looking forward to the plane journey even more than the holiday itself. Another reason we treated ourselves to business class was that we were celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>So far, so good</h3>\n<p>Fast forward to Bangkok Airport in early April and things couldn\'t have got off to a better start. We breezed past a long line of tetchy-looking economy class passengers and enjoyed a painless check-in. We ate our fill of a sumptuous buffet in a deserted Emirates business class lounge, and then once on the aircraft, we settled into our flat-bed seats for some serious shut-eye on the nine-hour flight to Sydney.</p>\n<p>On the few occasions we were woken from our slumber, the staff fussed over us with delicious meals, ice creams and extra blankets. The service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble.</p>\n<p>Our transit time at Sydney Airport was to be approximately three hours before the second leg of the journey - a three-hour flight on to Christchurch and hello New Zealand.</p>\n<p>Then, about 90 minutes out of Sydney\'s Kingford-Smith Airport, it all started to go horribly pear-shaped.</p>\n<p>I noticed on the in-flight system that our aircraft had started to veer south. Just at that moment, the captain came on and gave us all the bad news that there was heavy morning fog in Sydney and it would be impossible for us to land. So the plan became to divert the plane to Adelaide, re-fuel, spend about an hour on the ground and finally continue the journey to hopefully a fog-free Sydney.</p>\n<h3>Time to panic</h3>\n<p>I did some quick calculations in my head and worked out that we would miss our connecting flight to New Zealand by about 45 minutes. So near and yet so far! However, the flight crew assured us that we would be met on arrival by Emirates ground staff and we\'d be well looked after. I didn\'t doubt it for a moment.</p>\n<p>And true to their word, we\'d barely taken a dozen steps off the plane and a jolly-looking chap in a crisp, white shirt addressed us by name, confirmed our final destination as Christchurch and told us of the latest developments. We were in luck - the good news was that there was one more flight to Christchurch that day and we\'d already been rebooked on it. The bad news was that the flight didn\'t leave until late in the evening.</p>\n<p>A generous cash voucher was handed to us to spend on food and drink (not sure why because our tickets included access to a business class lounge) and we were then encouraged to enjoy the delights of Sydney Airport for the next SEVEN hours. I began to wonder if I had time to nip out and take a stroll around Sydney Harbour. I\'ve always wanted to see The Opera House - and this seemed one heck of an opportunity.</p>\n<h3>Sydney Airport</h3>\n<p>Alas, my wife had no Australian entry visa, so the whole idea was sadly a non-starter. Instead, we killed as much time as humanly possible in the dreadful, overcrowded Quantas business class lounge (where they clearly let almost anyone in it seems) and when we tired of that, we ambled around the numerous airport gift shops before deciding that there are only so many &lsquo;I Love Sydney\' boomerangs and toy kangaroos that one can stomach in a single afternoon.</p>\n<p>It was also during this period of time that Qantas ground staff issued us with new boarding passes for the later Christchurch flight. Keep this part of the story in mind. We\'ll be revisiting it later.</p>\n<p>Before we leave Sydney Airport (and a very fine airport it is too) can I just put the first black mark next to Emirates\' name? Why on earth was the Emirates business class lounge closed for most of the afternoon? When it eventually opened for business, it was delightful. Far nicer than its Qantas equivalent, it was the perfect place for a couple of weary travelers to relax before a flight. What a shame we only had an hour to enjoy it and were forced to spend most of our time in the Qantas business lounge-cum-cattle market.</p>\n<h3>Rubbing shoulders with the stars</h3>\n<p>The plane journey to Christchurch (when it eventually came) was memorable for really only one thing - my wife and I sat across the aisle from one of the biggest names in the music business.</p>\n<p>Just as the plane was about to taxi down the runway for take-off, a casually-dressed, bordering on scruffy individual boarded at the last possible moment. Even with a tatty blue hoodie providing him with a modicum of disguise, you could still recognise his distinctive, straggly ginger beard. He plonked himself in his seat, rested his well-worn Adidas sneakers up against the wall and fired up a tablet. Only a famous celebrity would act in such a manner.</p>\n<p>He then spent the entire journey answering e-mails and watching gangsta rap videos. My wife didn\'t look at all impressed when I told her we were sitting six feet away from Ed Sheeran.</p>\n<p>After another amazing fortnight in New Zealand (and I won\'t bore you with the details) we made our way to Christchurch Airport for the return flight home. Three hours to Sydney, a bearable three-hour transit in Australia - and then the long nine or ten hours on to Bangkok. But that matters not one jot when you have an Emirates flat-bed seat to look forward to.</p>\n<p>Oh, if only it were that straightforward.</p>\n<h3>Stuck in New Zealand</h3>\n<p>Our problems began at the Emirates check-in desk inasmuch as the Emirates ground staff didn\'t have the first clue who we were. After a lengthy period of head-scratching, puzzled expressions and much tapping on computer keyboards, they were still no closer to finding out. We simply didn\'t exist. Certainly not on the Emirates computer and passenger list.</p>\n<p>Eventually, the Emirates airport manager was summoned to assist us and explain the situation. The Qantas staff at Sydney Airport (on the outbound leg) had failed to enter our details correctly in the computer system and the fact we had been diverted to Adelaide due to fog and had caught a later connecting flight to New Zealand.</p>\n<p>The reality of the situation was that we had been mistakenly flagged in the system as a &lsquo;no show\' and as a result, our return tickets had automatically been cancelled. We were now well and truly stuck in New Zealand.</p>\n<p>The airport manager asked us to give her more time to analyze the situation and come up with a solution. \"Why don\'t you go and have a coffee and let me handle things\" she suggested.</p>\n<p>\"Why should we have to spend money on fucking expensive airport coffees when our ticket entitles us to the use of a business class lounge where the food and drinks are all free?\" I snapped.</p>\n<p>I was - to use a good old expression you don\'t hear much - starting to lose my rag. The airport manager sensed that I was getting close to the point where I might start taking hostages. Eventually, even I realized that a calming dose of caffeine might not be a bad idea.</p>\n<p>Two extortionately-priced coffees later and we were back with the airport manager.</p>\n<h3>Three options</h3>\n<p>\"We can book you in business class to Sydney no problem\" she said \"but unfortunately business class from there to Bangkok is fully booked. I realize this is a huge disappointment but I have three alternative options\"</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t wait to hear them.</p>\n<p>Option number one - and you\'ll like this - was to downgrade from business class to economy for the nine-hour flight from Sydney to Bangkok. Downgrade. Have you ever heard of anyone downgrading a flight ticket? No, neither have I. And that\'s exactly what I told her.</p>\n<p>Option number two was for Emirates to purchase a business class ticket (at their expense) on Thai International Airlines. The Thai flight left Sydney at about the same time as the Emirates one so inconvenience would at least be minimal.</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t have thought it possible but suddenly option number one seemed a whole lot more attractive. Every seasoned flyer knows that Thai Airways business class is a far inferior product to Emirates\'.</p>\n<p>According to my wife, who spends a lot of time on Thai travel-related discussion boards, most Thais who are serious about travel, consider Thai Airways business class to be a total waste of time and money.</p>\n<p>The third option was to book us onto Singapore Airlines. Now the airport manager finally had my interest. Good airline, quality service, I was sure their business class product would be something special. Only one snag though - the flight didn\'t leave till the following morning.</p>\n<p>I just didn\'t trust Emirates enough to stump up for the extra night\'s accommodation in Christchurch with a bit of spending money thrown in. And I was certainly in no mood to fight them for it. Not only that but my wife had to be in work the following morning and she didn\'t fancy pinching another day away from her desk.</p>\n<p>After much deliberation (we just wanted to get home at this point) we said a silent prayer and went with the Thai Airways option number two - and it didn\'t let us down. The whole experience was a joke to the point of embarrassment. The flat-bed seats felt like you constantly had springs sticking into you and the on-board service was non-existent. As soon as passengers started reclining their seats and drifting off to sleep, the stewardesses disappeared like farts in the wind. I\'m not sure where they went but they were gone for the best part of nine hours.</p>\n<h3>Time for action</h3>\n<p>When we returned home to Thailand, my wife and I felt angry. We had forked out a considerable amount of cash to fly business class but Emirates had palmed us off with an inferior product through no fault of our own. The Emirates airport manager in Christchurch was in total agreement and had advised me to contact the Emirates customer service department as soon as I got back to Thailand. She even gave me an e-mail address that she said not many passengers would have access to. So contact customer service is what I did.</p>\n<p>In my e-mail to customer service, I outlined the details of the story above and just to add a little more &lsquo;weight\' to the complaint, I mentioned that last year - flying with my wife from Bangkok to Madrid via Dubai - Emirates failed to get our baggage on the connecting flight and we arrived at Madrid minus our suitcases. They were eventually delivered to the hotel at 11pm - six hours after our arrival.</p>\n<p>I mentioned the suitcase incident because this was the second time we had flown with Emirates in a 12-month period, and the second time they had screwed up.</p>\n<p>I received a reply from Emirates within a few days. Naturally it began by apologizing for all the trouble we had encountered and went on to describe the fog in Sydney on that fateful morning as \"an extraordinary circumstance beyond their control\"</p>\n<p>As for the almighty cock-up at Christchurch Airport, when my wife and I were not even on the passenger list, the writer of the e-mail said \"I am sorry for the difficulties incurred as a result of this. Please allow me to assure you that the event you have detailed is an isolated one, and not indicative of the level of service that we strive to offer our customers.</p>\n<h3>Hollow words and empty promises</h3>\n<p>After reading through several more paragraphs of corporate &lsquo;copy and paste\', eventually we got down to the nitty-gritty - in other words, what were we going to receive by way of compensation?</p>\n<p>Surprisingly, Emirates firstly made reference to the delayed baggage in Madrid and offered us one hundred dollars to cover any costs and inconvenience incurred. Frankly speaking, I wasn\'t looking for any compensation. The delayed suitcases were history. But I was pleased with the offer all the same.</p>\n<p>However, there was just one problem - Emirates made no mention of how they intended to get that one hundred dollars to us. They didn\'t ask for a bank account number or anything. So basically it was a hollow, empty promise.</p>\n<p>Six weeks later (as I write this blog) and despite numerous follow-up e-mails to the same customer department (which have all gone unanswered) and many direct messages on Twitter (which have all received the same reply of &lsquo;please be patient, we are dealing with the problem) - we are still no closer to seeing that one hundred dollars.</p>\n<p>But the Madrid baggage episode is just a sub-plot. It was the business class fiasco from Sydney to Bangkok that my wife and I still felt most entitled to be compensated for.</p>\n<p>Back to the e-mail from the Emirates customer service department. \"Mr Williams, we would not like to have you remain disappointed with us, on account of your experience; therefore, without prejudice or admission of liability, as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience experienced, Emirates is pleased to offer you and Ms Weerawat 20,000 complimentary miles each, which will be duly credited to your respective Skywards accounts.</p>\n<p>\"Without prejudice or liability\" - I think that\'s a paraphrase for \"OK guys, here\'s a token gesture and we sincerely hope that it gets you off our backs\"</p>\n<p>Apart from American football and science fiction, if there\'s one thing in life that I have never had an interest in - it\'s collecting and juggling around air miles. I can never be bothered. On the rare occasion I\'ve logged into my Emirates Skywards account to see what my current balance entitles me to, I\'d be lucky to afford an Emirates key-ring. For me that\'s how air miles work. Other members cash in their miles and fly first-class around the globe for peanuts: I get the key-ring.</p>\n<p>But I was naturally inquisitive. Exactly how much were 20,000 air miles worth? Well, if I tell you that according to the Emirates website, you need something in the region of 150,000 air miles (plus a payment of around 40,000 baht) to afford a return business-class flight to Europe, you\'ll appreciate how far 20,000 miles was going to get me. In fact, I worked out that if I added the 20,000 air miles to my existing balance, I could just about afford an economy class return ticket to Hong Kong.</p>\n<h3>Zero progress</h3>\n<p>In conclusion, Emirates had given us nothing. It really was &lsquo;just a token gesture to hopefully get us off their backs\'</p>\n<p>I can\'t really say how much compensation my wife and I are looking for. I genuinely don\'t know. I don\'t feel entitled to something like a free flight to Europe - but I do feel entitled to something more substantial than 20,000 shitty air miles.</p>\n<p>I\'ve already told Emirates that they can keep the air miles because after all the inconvenience and stress that the airline put us through, I consider their offer to be &lsquo;an insult\'.</p>\n<p>It\'s now seven weeks since we returned from New Zealand and to my mind, we\'re no closer to any kind of satisfactory resolution. As I already mentioned, my e-mails to Emirates customer service are going unanswered. I\'m being &lsquo;pacified\' by the occasional direct message on Twitter that asks for my patience and more time.</p>\n<p>Alas, my patience and time have both run out.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-06-13 00:43:50',1,'2015-06-13 00:43:50','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(26830,85,'Too many games!','too-many-games','Beware of turning your class into gameaholics','\"I\'m really starting to take a dislike to this class,\" my colleague complained in the teachers\' room. \"All they want to do is play games, and it\'s not even like they\'re a bunch of kids.','<p>\"I\'m really starting to take a dislike to this class,\" my colleague complained in the teachers\' room. \"All they want to do is play games, and it\'s not even like they\'re a bunch of kids. They\'re mostly in their late-twenties and thirties.\"</p>\n<p>One of several interesting things I thought of when hearing this teacher complain was that I had never heard this particular colleague complain about his students before, so this was a bit of surprise coming from him.</p>\n<p>\"Whenever we do anything out of the book,\" he continued, \"they roll their eyes, look tired and lose all their energy, but the moment I mention \'game\', they perk back up again and are ready to go.\"</p>\n<p>Having shared adjacent classrooms with this teacher on several occasions in the past, I can report that his classes have never sounded \'low energy\' from the laughter and shouting that reverberates through the whiteboard (the walls between the classrooms at my school aren\'t very thick).</p>\n<p>What\'s going on with his class then? Could it be too much of a good thing?</p>\n<p>Keep in mind that this is happening at a private language school; these students are spending significant amounts of their own money ostensibly to be learning English. These aren\'t government schoolkids for whom English is a dreaded chore.</p>\n<p>Our students are, on the whole, quite motivated and serious about getting the most they can out of our instruction. Again, they\'re paying for it. What\'s turned these students into a bunch of eye-rolling adolescents who are more interested in fun-time than learning?</p>\n<p>I\'ve not observed this class personally, but with no disrespect to my colleague, I think the students have become \'game addicted\'. When not playing games in class, they\'re thinking about playing games. Their mood is adversely affected when they aren\'t getting their fix of playtime.</p>\n<p>According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a person displaying even just these two symptoms (out of a list of several) is enough to diagnose them with a dependency disorder.</p>\n<p>They\'ve become gameaholics. Maybe the teacher is facilitating them as their bartender.</p>\n<p>As for myself, I think games are important, and not just as fillers or warmers. Particularly when one teaches long stretches of material with which the students are struggling, to use a term d\'arte, learning outcomes are very much dependent on how engaged the students are in the lesson.</p>\n<p>Maintaining engagement: that\'s what fun and games can do. The students get to know that it is possible to have fun in your class.</p>\n<p>I\'ve read that 50 minutes is the amount of time that the average human brain is capable of intensive learning at any one sitting. I teach 150 minute classes; my students need a break. Games do that. Games alter the quantity and makeup of the neurotransmitters in the brain. They provide that needed cognitive break after skills and language lessons to let the brain recover and be ready for more.</p>\n<p>As I\'ve mentioned, games are usually used as warmers or fillers. They are ways to get your students engaged at the start or as ways to finish a lesson on a fun note and fill time. Methinks they\'re best used in the middle of a lesson. They\'re a way to refresh the brain.</p>\n<p>However games are used, it seems obvious that they don\'t get overused. Play too many games, get the students too used to their English language training being about funtime - and you\'ll end up with a bunch of gameaholics.</p>\n<p>\"Hi.

No matter what type of school you work in, you are sure to be writing lesson plans of some kind, but just how useful are they?</p>\n<p>Whatever your stance is, on the writing of lesson plans, it would be wrong to assume that they aren\'t useful at all. The fact is that they are, but the degree as to which they are differs from person to person.</p>\n<h3>Spotting problems</h3>\n<p>Most experienced teachers will be able to jot down their activities on a piece of paper, differentiating and spotting potential problems mentally. The plan may be sparce on paper but this doesn\'t mean that the lesson hasn\'t been well planned out in their heads.</p>\n<p>For newly qualified teachers and teachers that aren\'t so experienced, detailed plans are much more important. Even if you think that you are planning well, it is likely that you will be missing important details, or potential sticking points for your lesson. Just the act of sitting down and writing out your lesson allows a new teacher to picture the lesson from start to finish.</p>\n<h3>The chance to assess</h3>\n<p>Lesson plans are also a good base for senior management to be able to assess your teaching ability.</p>\n<p>While they can\'t be used as a sole indicator of a teacher\'s capability, as in-depth plans are easy to copy from the internet after all, they are a starting point. The ability of your Senior Leadership Team is also extremely important as to whether your lesson plans are useful or not. A good Head will be able to tell from watching one lesson if your past plans match up to the teaching in that lesson; they will be able to see how the lessons link together and offer advice of how to alter your plans to improve the effectiveness of your teaching.</p>\n<h3>Time-consuming</h3>\n<p>Planning takes up a lot of time and the time spent should reflect the impact it has on the children. There is nothing more infuriating than when you are asked for plans and nothing is done with them.</p>\n<p>I have previously been asked to transfer all of my plans from one format to another, not adding any more details, but simply because the school wanted them in their format. No one wants to be writing plans and filling in boxes for the sake of it and time would be much better spent actually thinking of good activities to do with the children.</p>\n<p>It is ironic that teachers are constantly bombarded with ideologies about how every child is different, and that they all have different learning styles, but when it comes to teachers we are asked to plan in one set way.</p>\n<p>Every lesson needs some type of planning but that planning should differ from teacher to teacher. If after observing a lesson the groups aren\'t quite right, then absolutely, the teacher should be asked to make a note of the children they will put into each group next lesson.</p>\n<p>If the activities are running on for too long or are finishing too early, the teacher should be advised to jot down times for activities. Planning is useful, very useful, but if used unwisely, it can also do more damage than good.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>David Walters</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.beyc.co.th/\">Head of British Early Years Centre</a>&nbsp;and Editor of&nbsp;<a href=\"http://beyc.co.th/blog/home/\">BEYC magazine</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-06-22 06:50:58',1,'2015-06-22 06:50:58','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(26914,41,'The teaching game','the-teaching-game','Games - I love \'em and I use them in my classroom in every way I can.','Don\'t be dismissive of games or underestimate their value.

But this can bring on the ire of some teachers who have been on a two week TEFL course, who say that games aren\'t the way to educate.</p>\n<p>They\'re all wrong and here\'s why...</p>\n<h3>Ability is harvested from enthusiasm.</h3>\n<p>If you are teaching ANY subject to children, one of the main aims should be to make the subject something that they WANT to study.</p>\n<p>Kids learn swimming at school and that\'s fun, right? They also learn music, cooking, football and other things. Things that may be of no use to them when they become bus drivers, policemen, or astronauts and airline hostesses down the road.</p>\n<p>If your history teacher was an ogre, the chances are you\'ll hate history... or worse, you\'ll find out that you love history, long after you have left school!</p>\n<p>My point is that, in education, <strong>having enthusiasm for something is as important as the ability to do it</strong>, especially at a young age.</p>\n<p>If you are an effective educator, those with a propensity for the subject you teach will develop the enthusiasm to excel at it and those that don\'t, won\'t hate being there and spend their time distracting you and everyone else.</p>\n<p>A teacher\'s job is to inspire interest in a subject as well as to teach it.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a nice chap (or chap-ess) keeping kids interested and motivated should come naturally.</p>\n<p>If you are organised, have good lesson plans and decent materials it gets even easier.</p>\n<p>And if you have access to a good teaching environment where people are serious about education, then you\'ve got it made.</p>\n<p>But even under the most ideal learning conditions and even with the support of your surroundings and materials, you\'re still left with that elephant in the room... you\'re teaching kids!</p>\n<p>Yup, the little bastards just aren\'t all that grateful that you and everyone else has gone to all this trouble just for them.</p>\n<p>They still want to play Candy Crush or read comics when you\'re not looking!</p>\n<p>But it could be worse. At least in Thailand the kids are generally well behaved and like going to school.</p>\n<h3>Games maketh the plan!</h3>\n<p>An hour is a long time in the life of a child.</p>\n<p>It\'s an even more arduous of a time when they don\'t want to be there or if they don\'t understand what\'s happening around them.</p>\n<p>An hour is also a long time (too long) to concentrate on any one subject, even if most of the class does enjoy it and does understand everything that\'s going on.</p>\n<p>So how do you spend a whole hour doing the best you can in front of a classroom full of kids?</p>\n<p>How can you capture their attention and ignite their minds for that hour and still make it an educational one?</p>\n<p>Well, there are a million answers to this and every educator finds his or her own answers... one of which is the use of games!</p>\n<p>(Let\'s just assume that the \'games\' in this instance are at least somewhat educational and related to the subject you teach.)</p>\n<h3>So, how do you use them?</h3>\n<p>As a bribe to be possibly withdrawn if certain tasks aren\'t met?</p>\n<p>As a way to fill time when you\'ve got nothing else or you\'re hung over?</p>\n<p>In the middle of the lesson to break up the monotony?</p>\n<p>At the end of the hour because you\'re tired and/or it\'s just what you always do?</p>\n<p>As a substitute for the appalling materials and other supplies that you have to teach with?</p>\n<p>Whatever the reason, with judicious use of well designed \'games\' the progeny in your care can reap many rewards... and even increase their understanding of your subject as a bonus!</p>\n<p>I\'ve designed dozens of games and Android apps over the years to use in my classes. All of them are what you would call \'games\' and (apart from a few misses!) they have been an invaluable asset in the classroom.</p>\n<p>Often times these activities simply punctuate the \'book-work\' and attempt to reinforce ground already covered. A lot of them are spelling games. Lots of quizzes. I even have a \'shoot-em-up\' sight word game! My favorite is an adaptation of the fairly well renowned \'Word Up!\' game which I have re-written to use on a big TV screen in the classroom.</p>\n<h3>So, the message is...</h3>\n<p>Don\'t be dismissive of games or underestimate their value. The resultant effect of these light-hearted activities may have more than just the \'learning\' benefits.</p>\n<p>Now - how you introduce them into your schedule is a much trickier subject for another time. Kids can be trained to accept that certain activities will be available to them if and when other things are accomplished. Students (especially children) are creatures of habit and routine. You are the teacher so you control the agenda and the routine.</p>\n<p>Finally - If your application of games in the classroom has sound reasoning behind it and subject relevance at it\'s core, then that hour will go by a lot quicker both for you and the kids... and still hold an important place in the way they learn, enjoy and benefit from your time with them.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2015-06-23 05:06:12',1,'2015-06-23 05:06:12','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(26989,90,'Second season syndrome','second-season-syndrome','How does the second year of teaching in Thailand compare to the first?','Having just passed my two-year anniversary in Thailand I thought I would look and see if I suffered from Thai second season syndrome - and how it might affect you if you decide to come to Thailand.','<p>Second season syndrome is dreaded by many football fans around the world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first year is majestic, your team is battling, and you manage to end the year on a high.

I signed up on the jobs section of this site and was offered many jobs within a few days. After a bit of research I took a job in Pathum Thani at a government high school. However, the agency lost their contract with the school after only 3 months which meant I had to move on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This gave me the chance to sit back and check my options. My 33k a month salary was getting spent very quickly so I decided to look for a better paying option. It was at this point I decided to take a job at a language school paying a higher salary and offering better working conditions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 1 result: Mid table&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my second year I am still working with the same company and really enjoying my job. I would love the odd weekend off but I get the option to choose my holidays when I want them. So not much has changed in this aspect of my life. Maybe some would say I should be aiming to progress every year but I\'m happy to be where I am.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 2 result: Mid table&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Travelling and Socializing</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I have put travelling and socializing next as they seemed to go together in my first year. Meeting new friends who were all excited to travel meant I was visiting a different place every week. If we weren\'t going somewhere we were looking for a new party spot.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From north to south I traveled around Thailand having many amazing experiences. Full Moon parties, trekking in Khao Sok national park and temples in Chiang Mai - I ticked off all the boxes of the Thailand guides. I would love to go to Thong Lor for a few drinks and try new bars and restaurants around the city.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 1 result: Top half</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now this has changed quite a lot. Many of my friends went back to their home countries after a year here. They were on gap years or just had enough of Thailand. I also realized that if I was to live here I shouldn\'t go out partying every week and had to start saving some money. I still go out and have a few beers with friends but only a couple of times a month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I also travel a lot less, maybe every 2 months. I went to so many amazing places in my first year that I don\'t really feel the need to go again for a while. I think my lifestyle in terms of socializing and travelling has changed dramatically and some would say it\'s for the better and others for the worse.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 2 result: Bottom half</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Standard of Living</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When I started teaching here in Thailand I lived in a small 28sq. metre studio. I was initially happy enough with it as I felt I was living the \"simple life\" I had wanted. However, after 2 months I was sick of staring at the same 4 walls. I then moved to a 1 bedroom 44sq. metre condo in Ladprao when I started my new job in Bangkok and the change was huge.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had a separate living room, basic kitchen and my own private internet connection and TV package. I was happy there. With a new job I could afford the higher rent although my disposable income after this was around the same as before. Most months I would always spend my complete salary on going out and travelling and have to keep a low profile for the last few days of the month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 1 result: Mid table</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my second year I bought a condo in the outskirts of Bangkok. I have to send money back to the UK for this each month but I now have a place to call my own. At 64sq. metres I have lots of space, 2 bedrooms and, hopefully, a good investment for the future. I\'m also a lot more careful with my spending and, excluding accommodation costs and can get by on around 20k a month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I still get to do lots of activities and eat out 3 or 4 times a week. I think the main difference now is that I know the true value of items and where to get the best deals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Year 2 result : Top half&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Other Second Year Successes</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>- Figuring out bus routes to stop paying so much for taxis.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Not feeling the need to eat foreign food every week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Being invited out by Thai friends to new places.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Other Second Year Failures</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>- My Thai language skills are equally as useless as they were during my first year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Still getting stressed when I visit immigration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Inability to eat somtam with more than 3 chilies without crying.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Overall Verdict</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I think overall I have avoided second season syndrome but I understand how it could be a problem for many people living here. For me I am happy to be avoiding the party areas and feel much more like an expat during my second year than someone here just for a bit of a party and gap year experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is nothing wrong with a plan to come here for a year and fully enjoy your time, travel and make new friends, but if you\'re planning to be here for longer you will need to accept that that lifestyle can\'t last forever.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Top Tips to Avoid Second Season Syndrome</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>- Accept you are here to live and this isn\'t a \"long holiday\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Learn the true value of items to help save a little every month, you never know when you need some extra money.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>- Live somewhere nice.

Chris and Angela have outlined their monthly expenses in past blogs, but this time they decided to approach things from a slightly different angle. Tired of hearing bloggers talk about how they manage to survive in Thailand on a couple of hundred bucks a month,&nbsp;<a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/what-things-are-not-cheap-in-thailand/#more-12367\">Chris and Angela have made a list of the things they feel are not so cheap in Thailand</a>&nbsp;- the \'unexpected shocks\' you might say.</p>\n<p>The list includes stuff such as electronics, alcohol, cars and western clothing (and a few other expenses that can easily be left out of a teacher\'s budget) As is always the case with blogs from these two guys, it\'s well worth a read. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>For the second cost of living blog, we\'re moving down to Bangkok to meet up with Manfred and Miu. As a couple, they spend 72,000 baht a month to maintain their lifestyle and while I\'ve seen a few comments saying that these guys spend far too much money or you simply don\'t need to spend that sort of cash in Bangkok, I really don\'t think 72,000 baht for a couple is excessive.</p>\n<p>OK, they rent a nice condo in an expensive part of the city, but apart from that the rest of the budget is spent on everyday stuff like coffee shops and foot massages.&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.renegadetravels.com/cost-living-central-bangkok/\">Have a read of the blog and you be the judge.</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.renegadetravels.com/cost-living-central-bangkok/\"></a>What else have I got for you this month?</p>\n<p>Have you ever wondered what it would be like to teach Buddhist monks in Thailand?

I\'ve always thought that I would love to live in a different city, but now that I\'m sitting down and pondering this, maybe Bangkok is more to me than I had previously realized.</p>\n<h3>Obvious start</h3>\n<p>I love Thailand, and Bangkok was the obvious place to start out. Bangkok has jobs. I think that\'s why the majority of us are here, Thais and foreigners alike. I personally cannot comprehend wanting to retire in Bangkok or even wanting to live here if I had a job which I could do from my laptop. If I were lucky enough to be in that position, you would find me out in Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Korat, or maybe even Mae Hong Son.</p>\n<p>Yet here I am, a twenty-five year old Bangkok language school teacher who has been working at the same school for two years.</p>\n<p>I work at a school with a variety of types of students, but they are all adults. My work is actually pretty fulfilling, but when it comes down to it, I work at a language school in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Draining</h3>\n<p>The classes can be pretty fun, and preparation time is minimal, but it is incredibly draining. I think it\'s safe to say that regardless of the school, when someone tells you they work at a language school in Bangkok, you pretty much know what their life is like.</p>\n<p>However, since my personal life here is much more Thai than I think most young teachers\' lives are in Bangkok (excuse me if I sound like a snob for saying that) and because I\'d like to keep my first post more on the bright side, I\'m going to list my top ten favorite things about my life in Bangkok (specifically my neighborhood) at the moment.</p>\n<p>This has been beaten to death by all those backpacker teachers talking about how friendly all the nice smiling Thai people are and how great the value is for a bowl of noodles, but I think some of my reasons will be quite different. Here we go in no particular order.</p>\n<p>1. The fat dog in my condo\'s garage follows me on walks, comes into 7-11 with me, sits patiently while I wait for som tam outside, and then jumps up ready to go home the second he sees the money/food change hands. I think people think he\'s mine.</p>\n<p>2. The pharmacist at my local pharmacy asked me if I was taking the medicine I was taking in order to treat allergies or to help myself sleep at night. The entire conversation was in Thai except for the word \"sleep,\" for no apparent reason.</p>\n<p>3. Everyone in my neighborhood knows me by name.</p>\n<p>4. The motorbike drivers outside my condo called me Michael Owen before they even realized that my name was actually Michael in the first place.</p>\n<p>5. My local som tam lady only speaks Isaan to me.</p>\n<p>6. The only place I ever go out for beers has super cold Leo on tap for 120 Baht a pitcher.</p>\n<p>7. Although the MRT is horrible during the morning rush hour, a 30-35 minute commute isn\'t that bad having grown up in DC where my dad might take an hour and a half to get home on the beltway.</p>\n<p>8. I\'m the only person who regularly uses the fitness room in my condo, so it\'s always available.</p>\n<p>9. The loudest noise which can be heard from my bedroom at night is a cat in heat that crawls around between my building and the government building next door. In Bangkok it could be so much worse.</p>\n<p>10. Getting shirts ironed is only about 15 baht a shirt.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading this. <a href=\"https://mikeinbkk.wordpress.com/\">Please pay a visit to my own personal blog site</a>.

It seems that the rules have changed at least in terms of the number of documents you need to photocopy and submit.</p>\n<p>I normally either do my 90-day reporting by post or I leave the country for a holiday (which sets the clock back to zero) However, today I needed to do my one-year visa extension and obtain a multiple re-entry permit. So why not do the 90-day reporting as well while I was at the office - and effectively kill three birds with one stone?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Before I left home, I took a quick look at the Samut Prakarn Immigration website, which is now maintained and updated by Mr Richard Barrow (so at least we know the man behind it is someone who actually cares about the info being correct)</p>\n<p>According to the website <a href=\"http://www.samutprakanimmigration.go.th/notification-of-staying-in-the-kingdom-over-90-days/\">this is the current list of requirements</a> (whether you are applying in person or by post) The list is as follows;</p>\n<h3>Photocopy of passport pages with following pages</h3>\n<p>1 - page showing name / surname / passport number<br />2 - page showing current visa stamp<br />3 - last entry stamp of immigration (when you last entered Thailand)<br />4 - last extension of visa (in my case a retirement extension issued one year ago)</p>\n<h3>And also</h3>\n<p>5 - Photocopy of house registration or rental contract (may be needed to show proof of your address even though the property is not in your name)<br />6 - Photocopy of departure card TM.6<br />7 - Previous notifications of staying over 90 days (if any)<br />8 - Completely filled in and signed notification form TM.47</p>\n<p>In past years, I have only ever submitted number 8 on the above list (the TM.47 form) and that\'s really been it. Job done in five minutes or less.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Last year was the first time I have ever been asked for another document. As well as number 8, I was asked for a photocopy of my passport photo page (number 1 on the list)</p>\n<p>This year, I was asked for EVERY single document from 1-8 on the list above.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, I had checked the list on the Samut Prakarn website before I left home and remembered to take photocopies of the house registration book (as well as the original book itself). The house registration is NOT in my name but that doesn\'t matter. You are simply showing the officer where you currently live.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, the 90-day reporting is not quite the walk in the park it once was. Not at Samut Prakarn immigration office anyway. &nbsp;However, as always when it comes to Thai immigration offices, much depends on the mood of the officer and which way the wind is blowing. But this was my experience at immigration today. So be prepared to have all your ducks in a row.</p>\n<p>In addition, this is why no-one can ever write the definitive guide to Thai immigration procedures. There is often a difference in the interpretation of the rules from one office to another.&nbsp;</p>','','2015-07-08 02:18:39',1,'2015-07-08 02:18:39','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(27418,20,'The breakfast club','the-breakfast-club','How monitoring a student\'s nutrition can make all the difference','By keeping the importance of good nutrition on the agenda, teachers can make a difference. But be a good role model to your students before requesting their participation in eating healthy.','<p>We\'ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day but given the choice between waking up earlier to put a nutritious breakfast together and spending an extra 20 minutes between the sheets, many of us opt for the extra 20 minutes kip.</p>\n<p>But a healthy start to the day really is important and there is an ever-growing body of research emphasising the benefits of having a nutritious breakfast.</p>\n<p>Research from the US estimates that students who eat breakfast everyday score on average 17% higher on Mathematics tests and are 20% more likely to graduate than students who regularly skip breakfast.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the UK, a comprehensive literature review by a research unit from Leeds University concluded that nutritious breakfasts have beneficial effects on student performance and behaviour in both the short and long term. <a href=\"http://www.leeds.ac.uk/news/article/34s9/breakfast\">The report also concluded that children who skip breakfast had more difficulty concentrating in class and focusing on tasks</a>.</p>\n<p>Students that are easily distracted are more likely to be disruptive and classroom behaviour issues have also been linked to poor nutrition.</p>\n<h3>Tired and sluggish</h3>\n<p>If you work in a school, the chances are that you have seen these effects firsthand. Chaz an experienced young learners teacher at Varee School explains - &lsquo;Those children who have eaten breakfast are certainly more attentive and engaged in lessons, those who have not eaten breakfast are usually sluggish, respond less and actually look physically tired.</p>\n<p>Then there are sometimes a minority of children who have been given pocket money and spend it on sweets/candy first thing in the morning. These children are restless, hyperactive and find it hard to remain on task.</p>\n<p>I sincerely believe that eating breakfast benefits not only the pupils but also the teachers in that the children who have had breakfast are much easier to teach than those who have not eaten breakfast.</p>\n<p>The problem can be severely confounded when children with lower academic ability consistently miss breakfast as this makes learning for them even more challenging......\'\'</p>\n<p>An ideal breakfast includes a variety of foods including fruit, vegetables, grains, protein and dairy products. In reality most students aren\'t going to have such a well-balanced breakfast everyday but it\'s important they know what a good breakfast is and they recognize the importance of making a healthy start to the day.</p>\n<p>Sugary breakfasts, while better than no breakfast, should also be discouraged because they are likely to result in the student having an energy boost early morning before running out of steam well before lunch.</p>\n<h3>Leading the way</h3>\n<p>In the UK the link between morning nutrition and performance in school is so well accepted that many schools now provide free breakfasts to students.</p>\n<p>Breakfast clubs are run at 85% of UK schools with <a href=\"http://www.kelloggs.co.uk/en_GB/whatwebelieve/helpgiveachildabreakfast.html\">the Kellogg\'s Breakfast Club Trust supporting 1,000 Breakfast Clubs</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Another organization, Magic Breakfast, serves free breakfasts to 8,000 students every morning. Welsh authorities have gone one better by committing to provide free breakfasts to all school students. Unfortunately, these policies are yet to catch on in Asia\'s developing nations.</p>\n<p>Nutrition has a huge impact on children\'s school performance and mental development. In Thailand\'s rural communities poor nutrition is inhibiting the physical and mental development of thousands of students. <a href=\"http://asiancorrespondent.com/133542/food-for-thought-inadequate-nutrition-and-educational-inequality-in-thailand/\">Nutrient deficiencies have also been linked to Thailand\'s falling IQ levels and its mental health crisis</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If free breakfasts were made available to underprivileged school students, it could improve the quality of life for thousands.</p>\n<p>Of course this is a huge social issue that requires massive resources and a genuine commitment from the Health Department and Ministry of Education - not something the humble classroom teacher could manage. But on the local level, within the classroom, individual teachers may be able to make a small difference with their students.</p>\n<p>A teacher\'s ability to promote healthy eating habits depends largely on their role within the school. Homeroom teachers are best placed to encourage their students to adopt healthy habits.</p>\n<h3>Opportunity</h3>\n<p>Morning registration is a good opportunity to discuss breakfast. Teacher Dale a Grade 6 Homeroom Teacher at Varee School explained an approach he\'s adopted. &lsquo;Be a good role model to your students before requesting their participation in eating healthy.  Let them see you drink loads of water and snack on fruits and vegetables during break.</p>\n<p>Build a classroom culture that all pupils can participate in regardless of their social or economic upbringing.  One way of doing this is by asking them if they chose to drink water rather than a fruit drink.  This helps to engage all the students in a discussion before asking them to share what they ate for breakfast, which can then be quickly compared and contrasted between peers.</p>\n<p>Be genuinely interested in their food choices, and make an effort to mention them to their parents whenever the opportunity is available.</p>\n<p>Finally, have the students ask family members what they have been drinking and eating for breakfast.  Have them report back with their findings and see if there is progress over the semester.\'</p>\n<h3>Healthy discussion</h3>\n<p>ESL Teachers that regularly teach the same classes also have opportunities to discuss nutrition. The topic of food comes up in pretty much every ESL course I\'ve even seen - and food is one topic that Thai\'s love talking about.</p>\n<p>Discussing the nutritional benefits of a healthy diet and having student comment on each other\'s eating habits could make a productive extension activity.</p>\n<p>I teach lower Mathayom and I try to encourage my students to have a decent breakfast by keeping the topic within the classroom dialogue. Simply telling teenagers they must have a good breakfast isn\'t going to work.</p>\n<p>On mornings when a class is sluggish I\'ll ask them whether they\'d all skipped breakfasts - and on occasions when a particular student is outshining their classmates I may comment that this individual had obviously had a champion\'s breakfast that morning.</p>\n<p>In the run up to tests, I\'ll advise students to revise over the weekend and ensure they have a decent breakfast on test morning - cramming till late at night and then waking up late for school is not a recipe for success.</p>\n<p>By keeping the importance of good nutrition on the agenda, teachers can make a difference. A school\'s hidden curriculum, &lsquo;those things pupils learn through the experience of attending school\', is usually used to enforce conformity and submissive behaviour but it can also be used to promote positive habits - and that\'s something even the humble classroom teacher can contribute towards.</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Daniel</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2015-07-22 01:53:10',1,'2015-07-22 01:53:10','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(27613,91,'My thoughts on teacher salaries','my-thoughts-on-teacher-salaries','How much should you be making?','While extensive amounts of information is already readily available on the matter of teachers\' salaries, I\'d still like to add some of my own opinions for those considering coming here to teach.','<p>While extensive amounts of information is already readily available on the matter of teachers\' salaries, I\'d still like to add some of my own opinions for those considering coming here to teach/teaching to come here.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to state some things that I think are generally true and also give some figures that I believe to be generally accurate.</p>\n<p>Feel free to disagree in the comments if you have differing views.</p>\n<p>How much do teachers make? If you want to get rich, don\'t come here. Teachers tend to make about 30 to 60 thousand Baht per month. Compared to the average Thai salary, that\'s not bad, but you certainly don\'t want to be making 30K in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>40-60 thousand Baht a month actually goes reasonably far, but it\'s not living the life by any means. If you\'re in the 40 to 60K range and single/not a big party animal, you should be able to save about a half to a quarter of that every month.</p>\n<p>I\'m in that range, but don\'t save much because I have some major expenses at the moment. However, If I were single, I\'d probably be saving about 20K a month, living in a big one bedroom, eating/drinking anything I wanted.</p>\n<p>For young and unmarried people, I think making 40-60K is incredibly livable.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a young person concerned about saving for the future and living in Thailand long term, I would say 45K is the minimum monthly salary you should be aiming for. However, If you\'re middle aged with little savings and thinking about moving here to make 40-50K a month, I would highly advise against it.</p>\n<p>All this being said, with a Masters of Education or other advanced certifications, you could be making a little more, maybe even significantly more, although I\'m not in the position to really speculate on how much that would be.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading this.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://mikeinbkk.wordpress.com/\">Please pay a visit to my own personal blog site</a>.

There I was lucky to meet one facilitator who had an interesting personality.  He was worthy to be featured in a blog so this time you will read something about him. He was one of the teachers who continually updated his lessons to make his students learn English through the use of modern technology.</p>\n<p>Back in the Philippines, he    owned a computer shop but when he came to Thailand, he was able to land a teaching job in the Nonthaburi English Teachers\' Project for 5 years. He also worked in a Thai company for a year, and now works as a freelancer promoting his smart board, inter-action, electronic flash card setter, multi-purpose conversation board, quizmaster\'s aid, and newly developed materials.</p>\n<p>In my informal   chat with him, he was able to tell me his reasons for creating new programs.</p>\n<p>He said, as a teacher, he must be updated on finding ways to ease his teaching and to make his students learn English better. In fact, he produced his new material - smart board with camera and pen. He used this one time in his class (while he was still in the project) and his observer gave him an outstanding rating.</p>\n<p>He further said that in this century, students have tablets, notebooks, and computers which they can learn better through the program he made. Teachers can share this with their students and the latter can  learn English with more fun.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>His students were his inspiration. He would like them to learn English meaningfully using e-learning. Because of his desire to reach out to more Filipino teachers, he opened a site where one could have access as long as the teacher shared a lesson plan in any topic or level. He thought that this would serve as a resource for teachers who would seek new things in their teaching.</p>\n<p>His activities had been shared with friends and colleagues in one center situated in a mall in Bangyai City, Thailand. He also regularly shared his new programs in seminars during holidays and would let attendees try his programs for free.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The most successful presentation he was so proud of was about a show in Impact   Muang Thong Thani,Thailand two years ago   wherein a person with  high position in the Ministry of Education, Nonthaburi Province, Area 2, appreciated  his work.</p>\n<p>Later on this official sent three computer experts to observe his works in a demonstration.  While his most astounding performance was  the time when he  disposed nearly 30 USBs of his program. Whenever he finished a new program, he invited friends and interested teachers to attend his presentations.</p>\n<p>I bought an   updated version of his \"Inter-action\" last month in Nonthaburi Hotel after he presented this program to the teachers of Chulalongkorn  Uniserarch during a seminar there. Inter-action has   these  features:<br />Fifty-four topics to teach English from personal information, health, food, ASEAN, to many things.  Each topic has 5 activities from Vocabulary, Spelling, Games, Structure, to Reading, with 4 different voices of speakers, could be slowed down or made fast applicable to the learner, and the most laudable part of his work, topics can be revised/modified.</p>\n<p>I used it in my classes recently and students were like eager beavers to do the spelling, games and vocabulary.</p>\n<p>In his updated version, Vocabulary has 4 kinds of activities. Spelling has also four different activities. Structure has 7 kinds of structure on a topic based on student level, and Reading has paragraphs, check-up questions, can maximize one picture, and the teacher can add as many questions possible.</p>\n<p>Try the new version of my friend\'s \"Inter-action\", and it will be the beginning of a more meaningful and modern way of teaching.

Yet, somehow Koh Pha Ngan had escaped me','<p>I recently had the opportunity to visit Koh Pha Ngan for the first time for four days. I had been to several islands before: Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, Koh Kood, and Koh Samet. Yet, somehow Koh Pha Ngan had escaped me</p>\n<p>I visited during the Full Moon Party, and the island certainly lived up to its reputation as a party island. That being said, the island also had stunning natural beauty to offer, and it was a welcome respite for an urban dwelling Bangkok resident like myself.</p>\n<h3>Getting there</h3>\n<p>Getting to Koh Pha Ngan is not as easy as getting to some other islands. I chose to fly to a nearby provincial airport and then take an hour-long shuttle and ferry from there. Many people fly into Koh Samui and take a ferry, or even take a bus or train down to Surat Thani before taking a shuttle and ferry to the island. Unlike Koh Samui, there is no direct flight to the island.</p>\n<p>Still, the island is a hotbed of tourism, with many young backpackers heading to the island to take part in the nightlife.</p>\n<p>I was either partying or recovering most of the time, so I regret not participating in the watersports available. However, overall I had a great time, and, though the Full Moon Party was more or less what I expected, I was still surprised and impressed with many aspects of the island. Below are some of my thoughts:</p>\n<p><strong>It\'s beautiful:</strong> It may not be as mountainous as Koh Chang or have the rock faces of Krabi, but Koh Pha Ngan has an incredible natural landscape, with verdant forests, cerulean wind-capped seas, and rolling hills in the landscape. Not to mention, the sunset when seen from Amsterdam Bar may be the most gorgeous sunset I have seen outside of summer in Arctic Alaska.</p>\n<p><strong>It\'s pretty cheap:</strong> Koh Phan Ngan may be a tourist destination, but few things are expensive. Hotels, for one, are much cheaper than in Bangkok. My friend and I stayed in a private room with air-con for only a little over 1000 baht per night. Try finding a hotel that cheap in Bangkok outside of Khao San.</p>\n<p>The beer is cheap too. I never found a place that charged more than 100 baht for a small Singha. Food is more expensive than in Bangkok, with Thai food going for around 100 baht, and western food going for 300-500. However, food has to be brought in from the mainland, so it\'s hard to get upset about.</p>\n<h3>Old at 25?</h3>\n<p>You\'ll (probably) feel old at the full moon party: I\'m 25, and I assumed that I would be pretty average in age. However, most people I talked to were 18-20 year old backpackers. Most people are well traveled and quite mature for their age, but it\'s hard not to feel old when everyone is so young.</p>\n<p><strong>Drunken people can be assholes:</strong> I had someone pour a bucket on me for \"not partying hard enough\" and saw people getting into fights over some spilled alcohol from a 200 baht bucket. I have nothing against Dionysian revelry, but know your limits, and stop being complete jerks.</p>\n<h3>Tension</h3>\n<p>There is serious tension between the locals and tourists: You will see this tension in most tourist areas in Thailand, and the world really. Yet it\'s especially apparent on Koh Phan Ngan.</p>\n<p>It\'s sad really, because most tourists are nice people, and most locals just want to make a living. Unfortunately, the combination of tourists causing trouble and crashing motorbikes as well as locals ripping off tourists has led to conflicts.</p>\n<p>To be honest, if I were a local, I would be annoyed at the constant influx of inebriated tourists. On the other hand, the full moon parties bring in a ton of money, so I am not sure how much the islanders can really complain.</p>\n<h3>Complacent</h3>\n<p>I doubt I will have time to go back to the Gulf islands anytime soon, so I am glad that I decided to use a couple of vacation days and go somewhere I had never been before. It\'s easy to become complacent as a long-term resident of Thailand, but sometimes it\'s necessary to go somewhere new and experience the unexpected.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-07-14 05:51:09',1,'2015-07-14 05:51:09','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(27656,74,'Nowhere to sit','nowhere-to-sit','Why shouldn\'t Bangkok coffee shops get tough?','Nothing astounds me quite like other people\'s selfishness and lack of integrity.','<p>I\'m in a Starbucks on Sukhumwit Road.

Over the course of two hours, the group of four had ordered only six drinks between them and were clearly using the cafe as a makeshift boardroom in which to discuss business. The bill for their purchased drinks came to just 260 baht.</p>\n<p>Apparently Bon Cafe has a notice on each table that states customers will have to pay an open food charge of 1,000 baht an hour, if they occupy space for business purposes. As you would expect, no one in the group of four businesspeople saw the notice (perhaps none of them were wearing their reading glasses) and flatly refused to pay the bill. Finally, they went on to Facebook and had a hissy fit.</p>\n<p>By way of response, a Bon Cafe spokesman said that the customers were not made to pay the open food charge. In fact, no customer ever has. The notice is put on each table as some sort of \'subtle discouragement\'</p>\n<p>When I first read the story for myself. I stopped just short of standing up at my computer table and applauding. Whilst I do think Bon Cafe\'s open food rule is a business practice poorly executed, I totally understand the logic behind it. It certainly gets a hearty Bravo! and two thumbs up from me.</p>\n<h3>The age of integrity?</h3>\n<p>Of course, what we have with this coffee shop situation is a system that relies on people\'s honesty and integrity. And I think we live in an age where both of those characteristics are in very short supply.</p>\n<p>I love to sit in a coffee shop, sip on a hot cappuccino and fiddle around with my smartphone. But I instinctively know when it\'s either time to leave or to purchase another drink. It\'s a shame that others just don\'t seem to get it.</p>\n<p>We see the same kind of situation in hotel lobbies. There might be several free computers for hotel guests to use and there is often a discreet sign that says something along the lines of \'please limit your usage time to fifteen minutes so other guests can enjoy this free service\'</p>\n<p>But for the teenager who\'s been Facebooking for at least an hour while his parents sit on a nearby sofa supping gin and tonics, the rules - for some reason - don\'t seem to apply to them.</p>\n<p>And all you can do is sit in a corner and quietly seethe.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Someone\'s sitting there</h3>\n<p>When I go back to England for my annual family visit, there is a nice pub in the neighborhood that shows Premier League football matches on a large screen. The pub can get pretty crowded on big match days so it\'s important to get there early and secure your seat or even just a standing position from where you can best view the action.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been in this pub several times down the years and there\'s always one guy - just one guy - who arrives at least an hour before kick off in order to reserve the three front row seats for himself and his two pals.</p>\n<p>And I\'ve watched him (along with dozens of others watching him) nurse a single glass of Coke until well into the first half of the game. His two pals will usually turn up late and reluctanctly order a couple of soft drinks. If they could sit there with nothing in front of them, I\'m sure they would.</p>\n<p>I stand there and lose count the number of times someone asks selfish guy if \'those two seats are free\'.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nothing astounds me quite like other people\'s selfishness and lack of integrity. I guess it has much to do with the way you were brought up.</p>\n<p>I\'ve sometimes thought to myself - \'well if you can\'t beat them, then join them\'. But I can\'t do it. It\'s just not in my nature. The moment I instinctively feel that I\'m taking up space that other people want (and probably have far more right to) I\'m up out of that seat and away. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>But going back to Bon Cafe coffee shop, for those who feel that occupying a seat for hours on end, ordering just one drink and poncing off the air-con is justifiable behaviour, we have an expression for it in English - and that expression is \'taking the piss\'.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-07-14 21:22:44',1,'2015-07-14 21:22:44','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(27874,90,'Why I live here in Bangkok','why-i-live-here-in-bangkok','So what\'s the attraction exactly?','Bangkok might never be the place I truly call home but it\'s a place I\'m happy to be right now.','<p>In 2013 MasterCard ranked Bangkok as one of the top 4 cities in the world for international travelers based on arrivals and spend. Even with a turbulent couple of years the city still ranks favourably with New York, London and Paris in terms of visitors.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Being considered among such names it would seem that Bangkok would be an amazing city to live in. However, I feel I\'m not alone in only being in Bangkok as it\'s the best place to find work in Thailand. It\'s more a place we put up with in order to stay in this amazing country than a place we will eventually call home.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Living in Bangkok</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many tourists talk about the amazing food, culture, shopping and temples as great reasons to visit Bangkok. I totally agree with them if you are a tourist - but what about when you live here?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sure the food is great and after a while you will find hidden local restaurants. The flavours and smells are intoxicating. However, this food can be found all over Thailand, and often a lot cheaper outside of Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have friends who live in Pathum Thani ( about 25 km north of Bangkok ) and I love visiting them to eat and drink the same amazing food as found in Bangkok but in a quiet area surrounded by fields and beauty. On the flip side I do appreciate being able to find western food close to where I live. Outside the main tourist areas it can be very difficult to find something other than KFC or Pizza Hut if you want something familiar from back home.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Culture vulture</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai culture is very interesting to many tourists. From religion to the ways of the people there are many differences between Western and Thai culture. There are some things I appreciate about the culture here and others that I don\'t understand. It\'s not for me to judge and I certainly don\'t tell people to try and change who they are. However, how much culture are you going to find on Khao San Road or Sukhumvit?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Eating Pad Thai and fries with a big bottle of Chang whilst listening to the cover band play Oasis all night on Khao San. I cringe every time a visiting friend asks me to take them to these places to get the \"real\" Thai experience. Of course other cities and places in Thailand suffer with the same issues - I guess anywhere with tourists does.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Making friends</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many Thai people are now telling me that even Chiang Mai is losing its charm due to the tourist takeover and the culture is being watered down. However, when you live here and get to meet Thai people you understand more about the country. I have made great friends and can say that the Thai people I know are kind, generous and always happy to see me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These people are not used to foreigners but have made me feel at home and it\'s great to exchange ideas, language and conversation with them. They also recommend great places to go out visit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are nice areas of Bangkok where you can avoid the crowds of tourists and be very happy. It\'s important to remember that you\'re here to work and live, not on a vacation. Khao San may be great for a few nights when you\'re travelling but do you want to live there and spend all of your nights at a bar?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At either end of the BTS / MRT lots of expats live in places like On Nut and Ari where you can access the city centre and still feel away from all the craziness. I used to live in London and I feel it\'s a similar comparison - I never went to the tourist areas in central London to eat and party and don\'t feel the need to in Bangkok. As an expat you will soon discover this city has so much more to offer you and it caters for every taste.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Living Outside Bangkok</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Looking through the Ajarn job section you will see lots of jobs for provinces outside of Bangkok. You will also quickly note that many of them are at lower salaries than those in Bangkok. It is not uncommon to see wages at around 25-30,000 Baht per month. People have debated the living costs and salary levels in Thailand but for me I think it is unwise for most native English speakers to take one of these positions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, there are many people who do live outside Bangkok and by all accounts live comfortable lives. I guess there are several ways you can make this situation work. Firstly by having an alternative source of income coming in - for example renting your house out back home, a pension or having a business elsewhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Secondly, living very basically and not feeling the need to splurge on Western food, new technology or lots of nights out.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally if you move with a partner and have two salaries coming in then maybe it makes things easier if you split bills etc. I did three months working at a government school outside Bangkok for 34,000 Baht a month and the thought of having to survive on those wages forever would be quite scary to me.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Where is ideal?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m sure many people would love to escape Bangkok and live in a different part of Thailand. Some would love to go rural and have a motorbike to drive through the countryside in the evenings after working in the local school. Others would prefer to be in a small town with a few more facilities but not feel like they had 10 million other people crammed into the areas around them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally I would love to live somewhere about 100KM outside of Bangkok in a small town. A place you could get a van back to the city in 2 hours if you needed to but somewhere quiet and relaxing where you can sit and stare across rice fields whilst reading a book. So why don\'t I move there today?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The problem is work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok is a magnet for Thai people who want to study at university, or find higher level jobs. As such the greatest demand for English teachers is in Bangkok. There are more schools and language centres here than in other places around Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Finding a job here is easier and also pays better as students have higher salaries and more disposable income to spend on learning English than other areas in Thailand. The government high schools pay the same across the country but the chance and availability of extra private classes for these teachers is higher in Bangkok.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Is Bangkok A Good Place To Live?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall I would still say it is a good city to live in. I have moved to the very edge of the city and can even see some fields from my condo. Every city has areas we would like to avoid and I can still go for a good night out without going anywhere near the places I don\'t like.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not perfect here but that is one of the charms of Thailand, you never know quite what to expect. Sure I would like to be able to breathe fresher air and travel without stopping in a traffic jam on every journey but the alternative of being without enough money is a worse situation for me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the government schools are paying 50,000 Baht a month on a 12-month contract, I\'ll be happy to venture further away from Bangkok but we all know that isn\'t going to happen anytime soon. So, for now, I\'ll happily stay in Bangkok and enjoy the opportunity to save and travel around Thailand whilst I can.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok might never be the place I truly call home but it\'s a place I\'m happy to be right now.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a> &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Seems like I\'m in the minority in that regard when it comes to the schooling of most my colleagues.</p>\n<p>I was a kid in the USA in the 1970\'s. From what I\'ve heard anecdotaly, any American younger than I didn\'t get taught grammar in English class as an elementary school student.</p>\n<p>My UK co-workers have told me the same thing, i.e., their English classes were about esoteric things like recognizing meaning in writings, English lit history and the likes. There weren\'t any polemics and rules taught after about 1978.</p>\n<p><strong>You don\'t end a sentence in a preposition</strong>. Yeah, this was one of the rules I was taught as a kid, but even then, it was taught half-heartedly. English is always changing. Controversial sentence structures become acceptable which had once been proscribed. Nowadays, it\'s perfectly acceptable to end your sentence a preposition with.</p>\n<p>Another rule I learned as a kid was: <strong>you should never start a sentence with a conjunction</strong>.</p>\n<p>And, but, or and so were forbidden as the first word of a sentence when I was 7 years old. That was almost 40 years ago now, and any reading of media today is chock full of sentences starting with those forbidden words.</p>\n<p>Used judiciously by wordsmiths of high caliber, these little words add a stylistic brevity to prose. Why write however when you can just write but? So, the rule against conjunctions starting sentences has fallen by the wayside when it comes to 21st Century professional writing.</p>\n<p>Should we use the standards we hold our best writers to when marking the writings of our non-NES students?</p>\n<p>When I\'m marking the writing of an adult ESL student, who writes about as well as I did when I was 7 years old, and they begin a sentence with a preposition, I can\'t help but remember what I was taught as a kid about English: <strong>Don\'t Start a Sentence With And, But or So! </strong></p>\n<p>Many people who are thoughtful about English today consider that rule about conjunctions at the start of a sentence to be the same as the old rule about prepositions at the end of one. It\'s now okay, they tell us, to start a sentence with a conjunction. They point to the prevalance of this tendency in modern media as justification.</p>\n<p>Here\'s the thing. Stylistically, an expert user of English can mold the language to fit their needs.  Expression becomes more important than polemics, and rules go out the window.</p>\n<p>For an ESL learner, however, these rules are important because they give a writer a universally comprehensible springboard from which to start. You can only break the rules for stylistic reasons when you know the language well enough to know when you\'re breaking the rules...</p>\n<p>People are lazy. For an ESL student, when it comes to writing, if they can get away with starting a sentence with \'And\', which is one of the first words they learn in English, they\'re going to do so. If \'And\' is okay (which it isn\'t) then the students aren\'t inclined to learn the subtle differences between phrases like in addition, also, furthermore, on top of that, and (the dreaded) moreover .</p>\n<p>It all just becomes AND...  Why should they try to learn and use more than AND if it\'s okay? It\'s the same with the other conjunctions; reliance on the basic forms retards students\' ability to use more distinguished forms.</p>\n<p>Don\'t end a sentence a preposition with... I understand why we no longer follow this rule.</p>\n<p>And don\'t start a sentence with a conjunction: I teach my students this rule while recognizing that many advanced English writers break it. I tell my students they\'re not advanced.</p>\n<p>I don\'t say it in so many words, but I think that you have to earn the right to start a sentence with a conjunction.</p>\n<p>For either NES or non-NES writers, it has to flow out of a command of using a variety of sentence structures effectively.</p>\n<p>As an ESL teacher, I\'m not dealing with writers who have that kind of command, and so, for them, the rule I learned in 2nd grade English class definitely still applies: don\'t start a sentence with and, but or so.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-07-23 06:23:28',1,'2015-07-23 06:23:28','2015-07-23 20:08:29'),(28283,71,'Going to hospital in Bangkok','going-to-hospital-in-bangkok','A good experience with semi-private hospitals','I must say, having gone with others before to appointments at government hospitals, I\'m impressed.

In other countries, hospitals are typically reserved for more severe illnesses and medical centers or just plain &lsquo;ole doctor offices take care of the rest. Here, though, most often all of these needs are combined into one facility.</p>\n<h3>Impressed</h3>\n<p>I must say, having gone with others before to appointments at government hospitals, I\'m impressed. Everything was well-organized, the appointments actually ran on time (shocking, and in contrast to the government hospitals I\'ve been to), and the doctors/nurses had an understandable grasp of English. Granted, the trip was an absolute waste (I was told exactly what I already know and given Sudafed), but it\'s good to know that if something did come up, this breed of semi-private hospitals exist.</p>\n<p>The whole experience took me just under two hours, which compared to even a fully private hospital in the States is basically nothing. Granted, this isn\'t an emergency room situation; I had an appointment (on a Sunday, no less), but still, I never for a moment anticipated it would actually run on time. This IS Thailand, after all.</p>\n<h3>Cheap</h3>\n<p>Also, keep in mind that I don\'t have health insurance (haven\'t since moving to Thailand), and the whole ordeal-doctor\'s visit, some minor sinus treatment, and two medicine orders from the in-house pharmacy-cost just 1,250 baht. That\'s what, about US$40? In the States, even with good insurance (which I previously had), that wouldn\'t even cover one prescription.</p>\n<p>Yes, I realize you Europeans actually have semi-intelligent governments and have generally good (or at least decent) affordable healthcare systems, but for Americans this low price point for the level of service is quite a pleasant surprise. I fully understand the whole \"medical tourism\" thing now.</p>\n<h3>Efficient</h3>\n<p>As stated, I have been to fully government hospitals in Bangkok with others before too, and although the sheer volume of patients there is enormous, on the whole I\'d say they still operate more smoothly that the majority of hospitals I\'ve visited in the States.</p>\n<p>Yes, the wait times are ridiculous, but the doctors seem qualified and the prices are very low compared to the States, insurance or no insurance. I\'ve also been to fully private hospitals visiting friends in Chaing Mai, and although I can\'t attest to the price, I can say the level of care there was exactly what you\'d expect from a high end medical facility.</p>\n<p>So... for those of you afraid of getting sick in Thailand, I can confidently say-and this is coming from someone that hates going to doctors-don\'t worry. I\'d still recommend taking someone Thai to help out, but the facilities and services I\'ve seen and experienced are affordable and decent.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

','<p>I\'m not sure where I got the inspiration from but I had a sudden urge to take a train in Thailand - nothing too ambitious or demanding, just a stress-free couple of hours from Bangkok to somewhere else. That would do nicely.</p>\n<p>My wife couldn\'t remember the last time she had taken a train in Thailand either. So with a four-day break to kill, it felt like an ideal opportunity for a day trip and to let the train take the strain - to the old Thai capital of Ayuthaya and its temple ruins. Ninety minutes from Bangkok, a regular train service. Perfect!</p>\n<h3>Second class or third?</h3>\n<p>In preparation for the trip, I had read several internet blogs (mostly written by railway enthusiasts) who were unanimous in their opinion that travelling by third-class was the best way - indeed &lsquo;the only way\' - to ride a train from Bangkok to Ayuthaya. There was no need to \'splash out\' on the price of a second-class ticket for such a relatively short journey. \"Travelling third class is much more fun and a more enjoyable experience\" the blogs said</p>\n<p>To that I would say \'well....yes and no\' (having now done the trip myself)</p>\n<p>I\'ve travelled third class on Thai trains before. I wouldn\'t endure it for a long trip to say Hat Yai or Chiang Mai, but for shorter runs, it\'s been fine in the past. OK, the third-class carriages are generally neglected and filthy and pray you don\'t need to use the toilet facilities- but on the plus side, if you manage to secure a wooden seat near an open window, you can enjoy the cool breeze as you make your way through the Thai countryside.</p>\n<p>You also get a continual stream of food vendors coming up and down the aisles offering drinks and tasty snacks. This to me has always been one of the most fascinating and enjoyable aspects of train travel in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Last but not least, the third-class ticket from Bangkok to Ayuthaya costs just 20 baht. It\'s still an incredible bargain.</p>\n<h3>Hello old friend</h3>\n<p>So to start the day early, my wife and I got to Hualampong (Bangkok\'s main train station) at just after six in the morning. I hadn\'t been to Hualampong for years but it hadn\'t changed. It was still humid, sweaty and chaotic and the platform announcements were still hopelessly indecipherable.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/authaya2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>The passengers hadn\'t changed either - still a curious mix of working class Thais going home to see relatives, foreigners with a spirit of adventure (some were even wheeling bicycles) and people like us - the casual day-trippers who are still in love with train travel.</p>\n<p>While the Thai passengers lolled around on plastic seats in the main waiting area, picking their feet and gawping at foreigners, we took a few photos of the station concourse and then climbed the stairs to the second level where there is a welcoming branch of Black Canyon, serving early morning coffee and croissants.</p>\n<p>Tickets purchased, we went to platform three to find our train. Just for the record, there are morning trains to Ayuthaya at 6.40 and 7.00 and then the next train doesn\'t leave Hualampong until 8.30. Some trains are &lsquo;express\', some are &lsquo;rapid\' and some are &lsquo;sprinter\'. Has anyone ever managed to work out the difference between them? One glance at a timetable tells you that the journey time is roughly the same for all.</p>\n<h3>A gentle pace</h3>\n<p>My wife and I had booked third-class tickets for the 6.40 train, which was due to arrive in Ayuthaya at 8.25. We eventually limped into Ayuthaya Station at 9.30 am - over an hour behind schedule. Never mind. That\'s the way train travel has always been in Thailand and the way I remember it right from my very first journey, when a friend and I took an overnight sleeper to Hat Yai way back in the early 90s.</p>\n<p>Train timetables here are purely a rough guide, an educated guesstimate. As long as The State Railway of Thailand gets you to your destination on the date that\'s printed on the ticket, I\'m sure they would say &lsquo;what the hell are you complaining about? There are low-cost airlines for anyone in a hurry\'</p>\n<p>So back onboard the 6.40 to Ayuthaya at the start of the journey, we had no trouble finding a couple of seats near the window. Not only that but the added bonus of a window that actually opened and closed (most of the windows are jammed in either an up or down position by decades of accumulated muck) - and then bang on 6.40, the engine started, a man with a flag and an immaculately laundered beige uniform, blew loudly on a whistle (clearly a task he enjoyed) and we were off!</p>\n<p>En route from Bangkok to Ayuthaya, the train stopped at about eight different stations. Most are located in the Bangkok suburbs - with the final two or three stations being closer to Ayuthaya.</p>\n<p>Whether every train travelling that route calls at those same eight stations I couldn\'t say, but one thing I do know - we stopped for an awful long time at both Bang Sue Junction and Rangsit. I have no idea why (only railway staff are privy to such information) but it was certainly the reason we got to Ayuthaya an hour late.</p>\n<h3>Who\'s been sitting in my seat?</h3>\n<p>Ayuthaya was actually not the final destination for our particular train. After reaching the old capital, the train was carrying on to Ubon Ratchathani in deepest Isaan Province. So when we stopped at stations on the outskirts of Bangkok, there was a flurry of activity as groups of &lsquo;migrant worker\' types clambered aboard with enough baggage and belongings to survive a nuclear winter. My wife and I noticed that many of the new passengers not only started checking their tickets, but they were looking for seat numbers as well. My wife and I gave each other worried looks. Were we sitting in someone\'s seats?</p>\n<p>Even in third class there is most definitely a seat booking system - and it can cause chaos. Disappointingly, I haven\'t seen this mentioned in a single blog on the topic of train travel between Bangkok and Ayuthaya, so I\'m going to bring you up to speed. Bear with me because this is where it gets a little complicated.</p>\n<p>Firstly, it\'s not possible to book seats in third class for short journeys and that\'s why our tickets from Bangkok to Ayuthaya had no seat numbers printed on them. Basically we could sit anywhere we wanted. However - and here\'s the rub - it IS possible to book seat tickets in third class if you are embarking on a longer trip, such as from a station in Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani.</p>\n<p>So in reality, the third class system is as follows. You can sit anywhere you want in third class until someone gets on the train who actually has a reservation for that seat number. Then you need to shift and pronto.</p>\n<p>My wife survived the whole train ride without another traveller laying claim to her seat but I wasn\'t quite so lucky. A young guy got on the train about half an hour from Ayuthaya. He had clearly reserved the space I was occupying so I gestured for him to sit down while I faced the prospect of standing in the aisle for the last leg of the journey. However, I managed to find an empty seat further down the carriage. It was all a bit of a kerfuffle and I think the one reason why I wouldn\'t bother with third class again.</p>\n<p>And don\'t get me started on the actual seat numbering system. The three seats opposite my wife were numbered 51,92 and 53. I rest my case.</p>\n<p>Later that afternoon, my wife collared an employee at the Ayuthaya Station ticket office and asked her why the whole seating and reservation system was so poor. The ticket officer just shrugged her shoulders and said \"we know it needs improving, but that\'s the way it is\".</p>\n<p>I wouldn\'t hold your breath.</p>\n<h3>Ayuthaya at last</h3>\n<p>On arrival at Ayuthaya Station, the moment you disembark you are mobbed from all angles by local drivers all offering to show you the sights. They are not tour guides because they don\'t actually walk around the various temples with you, but you hire them and their vehicle (usually the standard &lsquo;songthaew\' affair with two opposite-facing benches) to ferry you from one tourist attraction to another.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ayuthaya6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>This being &lsquo;mobbed\' at bus and train stations is a time-honored tradition and part and parcel of travel in any Asian country but it still gets tiresome - even for the most experienced of travelers. I appreciate that everyone has to make a living but sometimes you just want to step from the train and have a few minutes to gather your thoughts. Perhaps walk up and down the platform, grab a bite to eat and just take in your surroundings without some guy sticking to you like shit to a blanket and asking \"where you go? where you go? I take you\"</p>\n<p>The taxi drivers know the score. They know you\'ve come up from Bangkok for the day, they know that you want to see as many sights as possible in the shortest available time and they know you haven\'t got the first clue where you\'re going. If your instinct is to brush past the drivers and exit the railway station as if you don\'t need their services, you\'ll find yourself in a &lsquo;no man\'s land\' of busy main road and tatty looking restaurants and you\'re back to square one. The best course of action once you get off the train is to smile through gritted teeth and simply let your driver choose you from all the faces in the crowd.</p>\n<h3>Getting around</h3>\n<p>The &lsquo;system\' of teaming up with a local driver is pretty well-organized at Ayuthaya Station. There is no monkey business. Every driver charges 200 baht an hour for their services and hire of their vehicle, regardless of how many persons there are in your group. And every driver has the photos and names of the main temples and attractions printed on a large piece of laminated card. Think of it as some sort of menu. You choose which places you want to go to and your driver tells you how long it will take allowing for 20-30 minutes at each location.</p>\n<p>My wife and I selected the four most popular temples in Ayuthaya (at least according to our driver) and we also asked if he could take us somewhere for lunch. Without hesitation, the driver said we should allow three hours to do that whole circuit (including a lunch stop) so the final price would be 600 baht. And that\'s exactly what we paid him when he dropped us back off at the train station three hours later. And for those three hours, our driver was polite, courteous and professional at all times. We had no complaints.</p>\n<h3>To bargain or not to bargain?</h3>\n<p>I\'d like to touch on the topic of haggling if I may - because there\'s something I want to get off my chest. I want to take you back to Ayuthaya Station earlier in the day - to the moment our train pulled into the station and passengers and tourists got off and started to &lsquo;pair up\' with the local drivers for a tour of the temples. As my wife was getting information from our new driver friend, I stood around and conducted my own little social experiment.</p>\n<p>Even though using the services of a local driver was clearly a fixed price system - 200 baht an hour (as I\'ve already mentioned) Westerners will still stand there and haggle and negotiate as though their very lives depend on getting the cheapest possible price. And I ask myself if it\'s really worth it? Have we just spent too many years reading too many Lonely Planet guides?</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ayuthaya3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I watched the Japanese and Thai day-trippers getting off the same train. They quickly grasped the concept of the fixed price system, and they were in their hired vehicle and speeding towards their first temple while the Westerner standing near to me was still digging his finger into a driver\'s chest and telling him he wouldn\'t pay a baht over 150 an hour. And predictably the driver was having none of it. This was a take it or leave it situation.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to give the impression that Thais never bargain for things. Far from it - Thais can be tough cookies when it comes to haggling, But they know when there\'s a time to bargain and a time when you have to accept the going rate. I think too many Westerners have the attitude of &lsquo;Oh I\'m in Asia, so everything has to be negotiated\"</p>\n<p>I saw another Western woman with her two very young children. She was negotiating with a local tuk-tuk driver but she wasn\'t looking for a tour of the sights. She simply wanted a ride into the center of town. The driver wanted 100 baht for the fare but the young mother was willing to go to 80 baht and no higher. Negotiations became more and more protracted and the children began to get impatient. I resisted the temptation to interfere and tell the woman that the amount of money she was trying to save - given the current exchange rate - was little more than 50 cents. I wonder if she realized that?</p>\n<p>I used to be a serial negotiator. I thought that everyone was out to cheat me - especially local taxi drivers. But perhaps I\'ve mellowed with age and I\'ve adopted a different attitude. I\'m a great believer in as long as the buyer and the seller are both happy with the price, then that\'s all that matters. Is the time and effort spent on getting something for 20 baht lower really worth the 20 baht?</p>\n<h3>Back to Bangers</h3>\n<p>For the return leg to Bangkok and tired from our traipsing around temples, we didn\'t have the enthusiasm to play third-class musical chairs so we reserved a couple of seats in second class - still a bargain at 125 baht.</p>\n<p>I had fairly low expectations for the second-class carriage but it was wonderful. It was spotlessly clean (an SRT employee spent the whole journey going up and down the aisle with a garbage bag) the seat was comfortable and you could see just as well out of the window, albeit from behind glass.</p>\n<p>And we left Ayuthaya and arrived in Bangkok ninety minutes later. Just like the ticket said we would!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ayuthaya4.jpg\" /></p>','','2015-08-04 02:18:11',1,'2015-08-04 02:18:11','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(28637,52,'August 2015','august-2015','All the news and promotions from Thailand\'s TEFL courses','Looking to do a TEFL course in Thailand?

Try puppets in your own classes. It will make your teaching very enriching, so interesting, and really entertaining.','<p>When a colleague of ours migrated to the US, she left her friend a number of hand sock puppets that were only kept in a closet. When I saw them, I right away thought of borrowing these treasures as samples for my English Club members to make and for me to use in my teaching.</p>\n<p>Oh, I was very excited to use them in my English classes, so I didn\'t waste any minute that day.  I rushed to the nearest mall to purchase   colorful socks and eye buttons .At first, I didn\'t know how to make it such that I had to undo one puppet. Having gotten the knowhow, I was able to make 2 puppets and my 6 club members made one each.</p>\n<p>When I had my vacation last summer, I was able to bring more than a hundred paper bags for my students. So, I had already taught my students how to make paper bag puppets before I saw those beautiful sock puppets. With the paper bags, my Kindergarten 2 to Grade 6 students enjoyed making the puppets using permanent markers, highlighter pens and luminous colored papers.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ben.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>When students finished them, I hung the beautiful ones in our ceiling room as hanging mobiles. The others decorated our bare post in the middle of the room while the beautiful and unique ones were used by my students when doing   role plays in  class and flag ceremonies on the puppet stage I improvised   out big  boxes 1 meter high and  1 &frac14; meters wide.</p>\n<p>It was so amazing because when the puppets were done, the students  used them eagerly and explored  how to hold the puppets, how to make them talk, how to show them well,  how to make the audience laugh, how to dance, how to walk,  how  to bow, etc.</p>\n<p>It was incredible for the sock  puppets gave my students excitement in giving    information  about themselves individually,  by pairs , or  by fours  as they recited   their  name, grade, school, district, province, age, teacher, English teacher, address, country, nationality, and language.</p>\n<p>In addition to this the Grade 3-6 could also introduce  the name of their school, the number of Thai teachers, the number  of foreign teachers, the size of the school, the rank in previous O-Net, their director, their assistant director, how good the students are, how good the teachers are, its rank in the search for the Best school in Thailand, who awarded the school, who study in their school, etc.</p>\n<p>Whenever I reviewed my lessons, those who could answer my questions were rewarded to present a puppet show. For the not so good ones, they too had a chance   but they had to present last. So, would you believe that my Grade 4-5 students could make a 20-line dialogue while the Grade 6 were able to make short stories with 20 sentences and dialogues   presented them on our puppet stage?</p>\n<p>Well, to add spice to the small group presentations of my students, I would make it a point that their puppets had to dance   with the \"Chicken Dance\" song and for the finale, \"The Goodbye Song.\"</p>\n<p>Puppetry is lots of fun. It teaches students not only to be good puppeteers but also to be good audience too.  It brings out their creativity and artistry in choosing colors, design, and what materials to use. Oh, with puppets, shy students can present without inhibitions for they are not seen.</p>\n<p>Moreover, students can practice their English especially personal information and greetings. Students could overcome their shyness and fear to speak English. Of course, very good students became more confident and more spontaneous too.</p>\n<p>Having at least 4 - 5 good students in a class, I never ran out of performers for our flag ceremony. Often, the assigned students would look forward to perform with a microphone, as the rest of the students in school awaited eagerly to watch with delight every puppet show. More so, many kids were gregarious to help carry the puppet stage, and the puppets used back to my room.</p>\n<p>Whenever I saw students giggling because of the puppets I, too, was delighted. You see, even the not so good or \"sanook\" students did well too as puppeteers. My most fulfilling days were when I saw my students held  puppets, and   exchanged greetings with one another in English.</p>\n<p>At present my English Club members are working on a show that would  last for 15 minutes and  hope to present this  on   Christmas    or Children&lsquo;s Day. Try puppets in your own classes. It will make your teaching very enriching, so interesting, and really entertaining.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-08-10 05:38:41',1,'2015-08-10 05:38:41','2015-08-10 19:07:42'),(29043,92,'Is the drought over?','is-the-drought-over','My experiences with water shortages in Thailand','I have lived with drought restrictions in Australia, but nothing like this.

My wife and son stayed at my wife\'s mother\'s place in Chatturat at this time.</p>\n<p>Thankfully one of the teachers at school was able to offer a place for rent in town. My first question was &lsquo;Is there water?\', &lsquo;Yes, all the time,\' came the reply. I accepted the offer, leaving the hotel I had already paid for in advance a couple of days earlier.</p>\n<h3>Restrictions</h3>\n<p>Unfortunately the access to water was cut significantly within a matter of days of my family moving in to our accommodation.</p>\n<p>Water was restricted at first between 6am and 7.30am int the morning and 5pm to 7.30pm in the evening, with the hours being slowly squeezed, to about one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening.</p>\n<p>We have had to base our lives around being home around the times mentioned above, waiting for the water main to tick over signifying the arrival of water.</p>\n<h3>Bone dry</h3>\n<p>At the time it arrives its rush, rush, rush to fill bins, buckets, water cooler tanks and any other sort of container to hold water, as well as having a quick shower.</p>\n<p>I have lived with drought restrictions in Australia, but nothing like this.

I actually find my level of Thai embarrassingly low for someone who has been living here for almost three years.</p>\n<p>I can speak decent conversational Thai. My vocabulary is weak in some areas and strong in others. My pronunciation is not perfect and my sentence structure is clearly that of someone speaking Thai as a second language. I can read menus with no problem and children\'s books with occasional problems. Newspapers are beyond me currently, but I can still get the relative gist of an article.</p>\n<h3>Studying the basics</h3>\n<p>I was first exposed to the Thai language when I was seventeen years old. I was in Thailand for 4 weeks over the summer during my junior year of high school. I came to Thailand as part of a volunteer and exchange program, spending half my time in Udon Thani and the other half in Bangkok. This is when I began to pick up the basics of Thai language.</p>\n<p>Being American, I had always seen my parents studying other languages before traveling to foreign countries in the hope that maybe it would make them stand out as Americans less. Because of this, I had never viewed learning Thai as some daunting obstacle, but just the normal thing that should be done if you are in Thailand. In fact, I can\'t remember ever saying to myself that I was going to set out to try to learn Thai. I just made small steps without consciously considering the fact that I was learning a new language.</p>\n<p>I started by just reading random things out of phrase books and asking my Thai friends to correct my pronunciation. If you do this every day for four weeks you can learn a surprising amount.</p>\n<h3>Improving my Thai</h3>\n<p>I returned to Thailand 3 more times for periods of 1-3 months each. Each time, my Thai would get a little bit better. I moved here at 22, and although I had been studying Thai on my own during the summer for a few years, I had never spent an extended amount of time in Thailand. So while I new a fair number of words and phrases when I finally moved here, my Thai was still incredibly rudimentary. I would have been in level 1 or 2 of a 4 level language school.</p>\n<p>Although I arrived here with only the basics that anyone would have been able to pick up via audiotape at home, Thai people always reacted with shock when I told them I\'d only been living here for a few months. At first this surprised me to no end, but after seeing how much Thais love to flatter people and how little energy most foreigners invest into Thai language learning, it all makes sense now.</p>\n<p>What doesn\'t make sense to me is the number of people living in Thailand who see learning Thai as either too challenging or not worth it.</p>\n<h3>Is Thai difficult to learn?</h3>\n<p>Let\'s start with Thai being challenging. Yes, Thai is a tonal language. Yes, vowel lengths are important for correct pronunciation. Yes, there are vowel and consonant sounds which are not found in English. Yes, the alphabet looks intimidating. If you want to be a Thai news reporter, this stuff is important. If you want to be able to tell your security guard that you forgot your keys, not so much.</p>\n<p>Tones are important, and pronouncing them correctly will make your Thai sound lovely to Thai listeners, but even with mangled tones, people can usually get the gist of what you are saying. The same thing generally holds true for vowel length. Sounds that are new to you can be difficult at first, but anything that is new to you should be difficult at first, right?</p>\n<p>The alphabet is completely different from English, but it makes much more sense in terms of pronunciation and spelling than English once you learn it.</p>\n<p>Learning Thai can be difficult because it is a language, and learning a new language is typically not the easiest endeavor, but with minimal effort you can learn enough Thai to impress people and get things done on your own. Why would you want to live in a country if you cannot speak with the local people?</p>\n<h3>Thai builds frendships</h3>\n<p>Even if you can only speak a minimal amount of Thai, this seems to generate a significant amount of appreciation from most Thais. If you can\'t speak to people, it makes it incredibly difficult to establish trust or build meaningful relationships.</p>\n<p>While Thai people are often quite friendly to strangers as long as you are not in a touristy area, I feel that you can\'t quite connect with or understand anyone fully unless you actually speak to them, and to me this is incredibly important in regards to feeling at home somewhere. This is the main reason why I think learning Thai is important, but surely there are many of you out there that could give a damn about talking to the people in your neighborhood or trying to understand the culture of the country which you live in.</p>\n<p>Whether or not you want to develop meaningful relationships, gain cultural insights, etc. is up to you, but there is no arguing against the fact that being able to speak Thai is of great advantage in getting day to day things done.</p>\n<h3>Advantages of being a Thai speaker</h3>\n<p>First off, no Thai store clerk with poor English wants to help the scary farang. If you speak Thai to them, they are more than happy to help you, but no Thai and they will more than likely ignore you.</p>\n<p>Secondly, if someone is ripping you off or being an ass, you can call them out on it and sort out the situation without losing face. If you get angry and keep yelling at them in English, you are the clear loser. If you can remain calm, speak respectfully, and make the other person look like a stingy piece of bird doo doo, you my friend are the winner.</p>\n<p>Finally, there is just the normal stuff. Don\'t you want to be able to call the store to ask what time they close or even just reply when someone asks you where you are going?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading this.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://mikeinbkk.wordpress.com/\">Please pay a visit to my own personal blog site</a>.

One has developed into a proper international resort with high-rise 5-star hotels and pricey Thai restaurants, while Cha\'am has continued to give the punters what they want for as long as I can remember - cheap guest-houses and loads of affordable beach activities.</p>\n<p>Cha\'am has never pretended to be anything else other than a no-nonsense destination for the cost-conscious weekend traveler or day-tripper.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chaam4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Way back when</h3>\n<p>I\'ve always had a soft spot for Cha\'am. Back in the early 90\'s, I lived in Hua Hin for a while when it really was &lsquo;just a fishing village\'. Hua Hin\'s night-life back then consisted of three makeshift beer-bars constructed out of chipboard and each decorated with a set of twinkly rope-lights. Early evening plans would often begin with someone saying \"so which of the three bars shall we do tonight?\" Life was much simpler back then.</p>\n<p>And then someone from our little clique of expats (all seven of us) broke the amazing news that an ambitious foreign entrepreneur had dared to open a go-go bar in neighboring Cha\'am.</p>\n<p>A go-go bar? In Cha\'am? And will Elvis be there?</p>\n<p>So that night, the not-so-magnificent seven clambered on to their hired mopeds and braved the dark and desolate Phetkasem highway to Cha\'am in search of some &lsquo;alternative\' entertainment.</p>\n<p>The go-go bar itself was a low-key affair and was never going to survive very long (I think it lasted six months in the end) but it did give us the chance to discover the delights of Cha\'am. You didn\'t see many foreigners in Hua Hin. You didn\'t see any at all in this place!</p>\n<p>Cha\'am was a beach resort for working-class Thais - and it still is I guess. It\'s a place with something of a split personality. At the weekend, the soundtrack is the buzz of jet-skis and banana boats combined with the raucous laughter and whisky-drinking games coming from under worn-out beach umbrellas.</p>\n<p>Come Monday morning, when the Cha\'am massive are all back in their factories and tool-shops, you can have the beach all to yourself - even at 10.00 in the morning. And that\'s how Cha\'am stays all through the week until the pick-up trucks laden with cooler boxes, guitars and ghetto blasters start rolling into town late on Friday afternoons.</p>\n<h3>Scenic route</h3>\n<p>Despite Cha\'am being a relatively comfortable three-hour drive from Bangkok, the journey itself has never been anything to look forward to - mile after mile of grey, soulless highway with barely a tree or plantation to lift the spirits until you reach Petchburi.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chaam1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Thankfully that\'s all in the past now with the opening of a &lsquo;scenic route\', which begins at Samut Songkhram and takes you all the way into Cha\'am and beyond.</p>\n<p>The scenic route, while never scoring highly on the wow factor scale, is still a damn sight more interesting than the laborious trek down the main highway. There are the salt sheds at Samut Songkhram and some interesting &lsquo;pink colored lakes\' (which I\'m reliably informed is caused by an unharmful bacteria) There are some spooky-looking bird nesting towers that wouldn\'t look out of place on a horror movie set. There\'s the odd Thai temple to poke around (if you\'re that way inclined) and plenty of cute coffee shops with enough nic-nacs to guarantee at least thirty minutes of smartphone selfie Heaven.</p>\n<h3>Haat Phuktian</h3>\n<p>You can also take a brief stop for lunch at Haat Phuktian (Phuktian Beach) which I\'d describe as a much smaller scale version of Bang Saen (another beach resort popular with Thais on the road from Bangkok to Pattaya)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chaam2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Haat Phuktian has all the seaside amenities that Thai weekenders love (the usual beach umbrellas and seafood vendors, etc) but is starting to look and feel a little bit confused. Several more upmarket hotels, restaurants and boutiques have opened, appearing strangely at odds with the shabby, ramshackle beach section.</p>\n<p>Haat Phuktian doesn\'t seem to be able to make up its mind what it wants to be. But that shouldn\'t put you off the chance to stretch your legs and the opportunity to take some photos of the interesting statues - all dedicated to famous Thai literary characters - that are dotted around the area.</p>\n<h3>Mayday weekend</h3>\n<p>My wife and I were in Cha\'am as part of a corporate jolly. Every year, my wife\'s company organizes a &lsquo;Mayday Weekend\' for employees from several departments and their families.</p>\n<p>The Mayday Weekend schedule is more or less the same every year. Staff can either take the company buses or make their own way down from Bangkok, but generally everyone is checked into the hotel by mid-afternoon. Then there are team-building or &lsquo;bonding\' activities on the beach (tug &lsquo;o\' war, chairball - that sort of thing) then after a couple of hours rest at the hotel, there will be a buffet dinner in one of the hotel\'s function rooms.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chaam5.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Once the food has all been scoffed, the Saturday night entertainment can begin - a company talent show, a speech from the president, the ubiquitous karaoke and if we\'re really lucky, a cheeky dancing display from a few local coyote girls.</p>\n<p>Sunday morning is usually a bleary-eyed buffet breakfast, eaten at a very leisurely pace and then staff are free to check out and make their way home to Bangkok. I suppose when you analyze things, the whole weekend - for the Thai company staff at least - is nothing more than a glorified overnight stay.</p>\n<p>I\'m never sure why it\'s called the Mayday Weekend because it usually happens in late July / early August but last year we all went to a resort in Chantaburi, the year before was a rustic bungalow complex deep in the forests of Kanchanaburi, but this year it was a hotel in Cha\'am - and a very fine hotel it was too.</p>\n<h3>Comfy digs</h3>\n<p>The company booked the 4-star Methavali Hotel, which lies at the far end of Cha\'am\'s lengthy beach road. Judging by the number of foreign guests sunbathing around the swimming pool, it\'s clearly a hotel firmly established on Thailand\'s &lsquo;package tour\' radar. So the hotel was a curious mix of Western holidaymakers and Thai corporate staff on team-building weekends, with as you would expect, both groups largely keeping themselves to themselves.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_world/chaam3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>The hotel rooms were spacious and comfortable enough but had only the most basic of furniture and fittings. Even things like the bedside lamp and flat-screen TV were hard-wired into large wooden blocks to avoid them being pilfered. There were virtually no items actually plugged into electrical wall-sockets.</p>\n<p>I\'ve chatted with hotel managers in the past, and several of them have confessed to me that when you open your doors to the Thai corporate weekend market, guests can often set their sights on taking home a souvenir or two from their stay. And we\'re obviously not talking about a hotel towel or a bathrobe.</p>\n<p>But all in all, we enjoyed our few hours in Cha\'am immensely. We hired a tandem bicycle with dodgy brakes to cycle the length of the beach road just before dusk (enjoyable) My wife bought a year\'s supply of dried seafood from a local street-stall but for the most part we just wandered around and soaked up the atmosphere.</p>\n<p>I like Cha\'am.</p>','','2015-08-18 18:02:42',1,'2015-08-18 18:02:42','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(29511,41,'A farang mute!','a-farang-mute','Why I have no intention of studying Thai','We all have our different reasons for being here in Thailand.

The people are friendly, the food is good and if you want to stick around for a while, work is easy to come by.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a gap student, or just unemployed and bored, there\'s a place for you here. If you are older and more worldly wise, there\'s also plenty of room left over for you guys, too.</p>\n<p>Guys? I almost forgot... women! Women are especially welcome in The Land Of Smiles - especially ones that want to teach for a year or two... or more!</p>\n<p>Even the French can find a place here in the sun.</p>\n<p>So, start packing and leave behind that horrible snow and rain. Leave behind that crappy job. That debt. Those kids! Leave all your worries behind and come to Thailand.</p>\n<p>And now you\'re here what are you going to do? That\'s right - hit the beach! And then what are you going to do? Well, hit the mountains, hit the local markets, hit the trains, hit everywhere you can see. It\'s nice to be able to travel around a safe country so cheaply and safely, isn\'t it?</p>\n<p>What would make it even better? Hmm! Oh, I know... let\'s learn Thai so we can speak to the locals. It\'ll be fun. We can haggle in the markets, order room service, have fun in restaurants and bars and life will be a lot easier. It will be a bit of work, but it\'ll be fun to do and well worth it in the end.</p>\n<h3>Hello. My name is Mark. I\'m a \'farang mute.\'</h3>\n<p>Now you\'ve decided to stay here and call Thailand home... for a while. One thing you quickly pick up when you\'re doing the rounds of a foreign country is that people are sometimes good, sometimes bad, but always diverse and never the same.</p>\n<p>This is much more apparent when you actually live in a different country long term. Things don\'t always go the way you plan them and the way things are fixed are just wrong!</p>\n<p>...which brings me to... well, me!</p>\n<p>I\'ll warn you now - you aren\'t going to like me much. It\'s not too late to back out of this.</p>\n<p>I don\'t like travelling around and meeting people. I dislike public beaches. I abhor hotels and I really hate any kind of sleeping arrangements that don\'t involve <strong>my</strong> bed in <strong>my</strong> house.</p>\n<p>I don\'t like to walk around crowded markets and I never go to bars and discos. I don\'t drink so why would I? (Yeah, it\'s all about me.)</p>\n<p>But worst of all, I hate chit-chat. I recoil with intense unease when I am talking to strangers. Idle conversation to me is like fingernails on a blackboard regardless of the language.</p>\n<p>It\'s not that I don\'t like the people I talk to - I just don\'t enjoy the useless, vapid exchange of dialog.</p>\n<p>I\'m not talking about Thai strangers either. I\'m even more uneasy talking to fellow farangs. I can\'t pull the usual fast one of being able to say <em>\'Sorry, I don\'t understand you!\'</em></p>\n<h3><em>\"I want to be alone... with someone else who wants to be alone.\"</em> Dimitri Zaik</h3>\n<p>One of the benefits of living in Thailand among Thai people and not knowing much Thai, is that you just get left alone.</p>\n<p>But that\'s not the only benefit of being a \'farang mute.\' I also have the pleasure of not understanding anything that people are saying. Most people have really nothing of value to say and just like making a noise.</p>\n<p>Another very handy benefit of being a \'farang mute\' is that I can\'t understand anything on TV or on the radio.</p>\n<p>Just watching TV makes my eyes bleed. Understanding it as well would probably send me into some kind of mental fit.</p>\n<p>The thing is, learning Thai is of no value to me. The effort and time it takes to do doesn\'t give me a return that pays off.</p>\n<p>If I\'m unwilling to communicate to anyone in English why would I make an effort to learn a very difficult language and do the same with Thais? To chat in bars? To order pizza? Make the check out girls feel more at ease?</p>\n<h3>The cure for hating stuff.</h3>\n<p>To many people, solitude is seen as a vice. Something that should be apologized for. Actually, being alone and in my quiet zone at the weekend especially, helps me to re-fuel for a noisy week of work. I find the five day process of being around a thousand noisy kids is a drain on my ever depleting resources of mental energy.</p>\n<p>So, with all these things that I don\'t like piling up, I have done what any normal, rational and level headed man would do... I\'ve arranged my life to specifically avoid all these things.</p>\n<p>Everything has been tailored so my life can be minimally interfered with by the things that I don\'t like.</p>\n<p>I don\'t like cities so I moved to the country. I don\'t like dogs and noisy neighbors so I built a house on private land. I don\'t like travelling on buses or in taxis so I bought a car.</p>\n<p>If I had done all these things in my native England, it would have been seen as normal and sensible behavior. But I didn\'t. I decided to make my life comfortable in Thailand... a nation that happily embraces the hordes of sanctimonious, pretentious tramps masquerading as knowledgeable and/or interesting travelers.</p>\n<h3>Please turn down the volume...</h3>\n<p>Anyway, over the course of the last fifteen years, I just haven\'t bothered to learn the lingo. I did learn somethings that I needed to know. One of the phrases I quickly learned was <em>\"Please turn down the volume.\"</em></p>\n<p>I used it in the taxis a lot when I lived in Bangkok. The problem with learning that, was taxi drivers thought I could speak Thai. So I then had to learn <em>\"Sorry, I don\'t understand.\"</em> They didn\'t believe me and there was stony silence!</p>\n<p>Remember what I said earlier about everybody being different? Well that doesn\'t only apply to foreigners. We are all different - even if we are raised in the same country with similar educations and opportunities in life. So, to all those of you who, like me, are private people, there\'s also room for YOU in Thailand... but be prepared for the critics.</p>\n<h3>When in Spain... run like hell!</h3>\n<p>There has been somewhat of a negative reaction to my impudent lifestyle in some quarters. My mum said I\'m going to die a lonely man. Well, alone, maybe but not lonely. I suspect that my partner will outlive me. She has more than a thirty year advantage.</p>\n<p>Last week (August 2015) there was a news story that Spain had had record visitors. The story was accompanied by some pictures of beaches absolutely infested from top to bottom with tourists. As I inwardly repulsed at those images it occurred to me that I\'d rather have a rock to myself than share a beach with anyone!</p>\n<p>One online blogger was \'outraged\' that I didn\'t come to Thailand to mingle with the locals and immerse myself in my \'environment.\' My family and a couple of people that know me shake their heads. They don\'t understand why anyone wouldn\'t be running around the country making pals, chatting to strangers in bars and running up and down mountains.</p>\n<p>Another keen critic asserted that for me \"When in Rome...\" didn\'t apply. Maybe, he thinks that people who swim a lot will eventually become fish! I never did fully understand that criticism.</p>\n<p>There\'s no use in trying to defend myself to anyone. I\'m lazy - and learning Thai is a victim of that.</p>\n<p>So, here I am... \'a farang mute\' in a nation filled to the rafters with social animals racing about chatting to anyone that will listen and trying every food they\'ve never heard of... or seen actually prepared in a kitchen.</p>\n<p>We all have our different reasons for being here in Thailand. Yours may be to experience adventure and to embrace different cultures. Mine\'s just the opposite. I came to be left in peace. It\'s working out very well - thanks for asking.</p>\n<p>So, you can say what you like about my reasons for living in Thailand - I can\'t understand a darn thing you are saying!</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/saying_no.jpg','2015-08-18 06:04:35',1,'2015-08-18 06:04:35','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(29676,90,'Pocket money','pocket-money','The impact of a weak Thai Baht for foreign teachers in Thailand','Over the past few months the Thai Baht has become weaker against many other currencies. This has had many implications for Thailand as a country and for the people who live and work here. I want to focus on foreign teachers in Thailand and how the exchange rate changes might affect them.','<p>Over the past few months the Thai Baht has become weaker against many other currencies. This has had many implications for Thailand as a country and for the people who live and work here. I want to focus on foreign teachers in Thailand and how the exchange rate changes might affect them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly it is important to mention that each teacher has different circumstances and the possible impacts might not affect them at all. However, there are many issues to consider.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>New Arrivals</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For new arrivals the major benefit is that they will have a few extra Baht to use when they arrive. A lot of people seem to arrive on a tight budget and the better exchange rate might mean they are a little bit more comfortable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The alternative argument is that people looking at teaching overseas will check salaries and compare them using their home country\'s currency. Thailand is already behind most other countries in terms of wages and the recent weakening of the Baht could make Thailand seem less attractive to potential new arrivals.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Student Loans</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I graduated from my UK university in 2010 and have to make monthly repayments towards my student loan. At the moment it is around 1,500 Baht a month so not a huge outgoing. Some of my colleagues from America have told me about their repayments and the amounts are much higher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we look at how many Baht we get for a USD or GBP it may have only increased by 5 - 7 baht but this could lead to a huge increase in payments on a high level loan if you are reliant on your Thai salary.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course countries like South Korea are very popular for people looking to save money in order to pay off loans and debt. The further weakening of the Baht is likely to mean recent graduates are put off from coming to Thailand in favour of other, higher paying countries.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Travel</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m planning my trip back to the UK in April next year. At the moment most of my savings are in Thai Baht after working here for over 2 years. The cost of this trip is a major concern to me. The cost of the flight is almost half a months wages and then we add spending money to that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I know some people that don\'t go back to their home country every year ( or at all ) but for me I want to visit friends and family at least once a year. I\'m lucky enough to have people in the UK to go and stay with for free which helps a lot. However, there is only so much I can accept from them for free without feeling very guilty. The devaluation of the Thai Baht might make teachers here more reliant on friends and family for accommodation, food and trips when they go back home. Some people may even be priced out from going home completely - a situation for many which is unacceptable.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Cost of Items</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The overall economy is suffering in part from the devaluation of the Baht. Recent reports show that ready-made food from local stores has increased by 10 - 20 Baht over the past 6 months. I get the impression that many businesses here decide to raise prices when business is tough. They feel that fewer sales at a higher price is a sensible business model.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This short term view from businesses means that everyday costs are rising and you\'ll have less money in your back pocket at the end of the month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Low level inflation is a good thing for an economy and in the long term would be considered healthy. However, we all know wages haven\'t risen for most teachers over the years. It is fair to say that paying an extra 10 Baht for your dinner won\'t break the bank but I think we might see prices increasing in other areas.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tourist areas will see the exchange rate changes as an opportunity to increase prices as foreigners now have more money to spend. This will mean even holidays in Thailand will be more expensive than in the past as locals will presume you are a rich foreigner with thousands of Dollars to spend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The weak currency will also make foreign imports more expensive to buy in Thailand. I think many companies won\'t take a hit on their profit margins and will pass the increased cost onto customers. With import taxes already very high this means that your favourite treat from back home or new designer dress is now even more expensive than in the past.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Benefits</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are some benefits to a weaker currency. Retired people living here will be finding a few extra Baht in their account when their pensions arrive. With a 10% change vs GBP and USD this could mean a noticeable difference for many people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also some people are paid in foreign currencies and are benefiting from the weak Baht. International companies sometimes pay in the employee\'s home currency but there are other ways to get a USD / GBP salary. Online English teachers are often paid in USD and many people are doing this to earn a part time income.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Future</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I keep reading that the economy will improve and stabalise by the end of the year. I think we know there are lots of internal and external factors influencing the economy in Thailand at the moment and it might be some time before it is stable again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For now the exchange rate change isn\'t affecting life in regards to our our spending within Thailand, we only notice it when leaving the country or buying imported goods. However, a much bigger change and we may start seeing people leaving Thailand or choosing other locations to work in the TEFL industry.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a> &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Yes, it\'s almost time to make my annual trip back to Blighty to see the family.</p>\n<p>And of course, there are all those decisions to make. What clothes do I have to pack? Do I really need to take the big suitcase this time? How much money will I need? Which of my old school-friends (if any) will make the list of people to see? How many football matches will I be able to squeeze in? What gifts from Thailand do I need to buy? What food do I need to bring back? Will I be able to spend enough time with family?</p>\n<p>Hold on. Isn\'t this supposed to be a holiday? I\'m stressed out already. But truth be told, the trip home has this effect on me every year. Actually, I\'ve spoken to a number of teachers and Bangkok expats on this topic - and I know I\'m not alone in feeling this way.</p>\n<h3>Crisis</h3>\n<p>Part of the problem is that whenever I choose to go back home for a couple of weeks, there is nearly always a major crisis ticking away in the background. Does anyone remember the Icelandic volcano and the ash cloud that forced all flights out of Europe to be grounded for over a week? Well, I was in England, desperately trying to book a return flight home. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Remember the floods of several years ago, when depending on which part of Thailand you lived in, the water level came up to either your knees or your neck. Well, I was in England - a ball of stress and worry - as my wife gave me daily Skype reports on the increasing odds of the canal next to our house bursting its banks and our house going under.</p>\n<p>There have been other times as well but I won\'t go into detail. Life just never seems to want me to go back to England and have a good time.</p>\n<p>I usually return for two weeks, at the same time every year - the last week in September and the first in October. I\'m not really sure why but it just feels like the right time to go.</p>\n<h3>Best time</h3>\n<p>December to April is always too cold and I never fancy the thought of being home for Christmas anyway. And being a bad hay fever sufferer (at least I was when I lived in England) the peak summer months - when the pollen count is at its highest - are totally out of the question.</p>\n<p>Temperature wise, late September is a most agreeable time of year. You get the opportunity to wear a nice jacket as you stroll home from the pub in the evening and perhaps a light sweater during the day - both make a welcome change from the staple Bangkok outfit of shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops.</p>\n<h3>Just the ticket</h3>\n<p>The biggest expense associated with the trip home will almost certainly be the air-fare. My usual route for several years was Bangkok to Birmingham (via Dubai) in Emirates economy class. Alas, <a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-world/why-i-will-probably-never-fly-with-emirates-airlines-again\">Emirates Airlines and I have had something of a falling out</a> - and last year, when I took my seat in economy class and surveyed my surroundings, I began to wonder if it was physically possible to squeeze more passengers into a cabin without us having to sit on each other\'s laps.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then the fat guy next to me gained control of the arm-rest before we\'d even had chance to ignore the safety demo and I decided enough was enough. Perhaps it\'s got a lot to do with getting older but I just can\'t do economy class anymore.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I can\'t afford business class either, so I\'ve trawled the net to find the best deals with those airlines offering a premium economy service and I\'ve ended up paying 63,000 baht to fly with Lufthansa to Birmingham (with a three-hour layover in Frankfurt)</p>\n<p>Lufthansa\'s basic economy class ticket comes in at around 35,000 baht so I\'ve ended up paying almost double for a bit of extra legroom, food served on plates, a complimentary bottle of drinking water and a free toilet bag. I\'ll let you know how it goes.</p>\n<p>When booking plane tickets, timing is everything. Had I bought that premium economy class ticket just a fortnight before I did (and had Lufthansa\'s website booking system been working properly) I would have got the seat for just 46,000. Lesson learned. I think.</p>\n<p>You\'ll never catch me looking down on teachers who hunt around for the cheapest possible air ticket though. Believe it or not, one of the best flights I ever had back to England was with Bangladesh Biman (are they even still in business?) I was a poor teacher looking for a bargain - and 17,000 baht return was certainly a bargain. Who cares about safety records at that price?</p>\n<p>We took off from Don Muang Airport in Bangkok (back in the good old days when DM was not the chaotic, cattle market it is now) and quickly realized that airline crew outnumbered the passengers by two to one. The &lsquo;fasten seatbelt\' light went off, and it was up with the armrests, as every passenger found themselves their own personal row of four seats in which to get horizontal. And I slept all the way to London. What a flight!</p>\n<h3>Friends</h3>\n<p>So what\'s next? Oh yes, the major headache - and it<em> is</em> a major headache - of which friends to see while you are back home.</p>\n<p>I suppose I\'m lucky. I\'m one of those miserable sods who hasn\'t kept in touch with very many of my old school-friends or drinking pals. It hasn\'t been for want of trying but let\'s not forget that over 25 years have passed since I left England. That\'s a bloody long time.</p>\n<p>I\'ve reconnected with many of the &lsquo;old gang\' on social media, but like me, some of them have relocated to various parts of the world and even if they\'ve moved to a nice little village just a half-hour\'s drive from Birmingham (where we all grew up), meeting up for a reunion still seems to require too much effort. And I totally understand. We all lead such busy and hectic lives. And we didn\'t love each other that much anyway.</p>\n<p>However, I do sometimes get together with an old school-pal - but find that once every 3-4 years is enough. The time passes so quickly that even when reunions are 12 months apart, it still feels like yesterday when you last met. Those stories that you shared and laughed out loud at just a year ago, are still fresh in the memory and you can simply run out of things to talk about.</p>\n<p>But if you have only been an expat or working abroad for a short time, then you\'ll probably still have a huge circle of friends to see when you return home for a visit.</p>\n<p>And they all want to see you. And they all want to hear your war stories. What a nightmare!</p>\n<h3>Julia\'s strategy</h3>\n<p>I chatted about this topic with international school teacher, Julia Knight. <a href=\"/blogs/julia-knight\">Julia has written a number of blogs for this website in the past</a> and both she and her husband (along with their children) have been living and working in Bangkok for several years. They return to the UK at least once a year for a family visit and have the exact problem that we\'re discussing here - a large group of friends who Julia and her husband feel duty bound to get together with at some stage of the holiday.</p>\n<p>It took a few trips home to work out the best approach, but Julia has come up with an ingenious solution to the problem.</p>\n<p>About two weeks before she is due to fly back, Julia sends out a mass e-mail to everyone on her friends list. I assume her husband does the same. It goes something like this.....</p>\n<p>\"Hi everyone. Just a quick e-mail to let you know that we\'ll be back in England from April 10th to April 27th and we would love to see you if possible. We\'ll be at the following places on the following dates from 7.30pm. See you soon\"</p>\n<p>This would be followed of course by the details of the three venues (presumably three pubs in the local area) and the dates.</p>\n<p>What a brilliant idea! And as Julia says \"it works like a charm\". Julia doesn\'t have the hassle of arranging to meet up with specific friends on specific nights and there is no pressure on any of those friends to show up on any of the three dates.</p>\n<p>The invitation is there. You can come and see us if you want. Job done!</p>\n<p>Julia didn\'t mention it but I\'m also guessing that when friends show up, they all want to get their hand in their pockets for a round of drinks. So it\'s a free night out. I\'m just saying is all.</p>\n<h3>Spend! spend! spend!</h3>\n<p>Which brings me to the topic of spending money - how much money to take? Yes, it\'s always a thorny issue but there\'s rarely a situation where money doesn\'t rear its ugly head at some time.</p>\n<p>In the two weeks I\'m back in England, I generally get through about 50,000 to 60,000 baht. I\'m not sure if that sounds a lot but while I\'m home, I figure I may as well make it worthwhile. But I certainly don\'t go mad.</p>\n<p>I might buy a few clothes from my favourite stores (particularly sizes that I find more difficult to get in Bangkok) and I always bring back plenty of my favourite chocolate bars and snacks (stuff I can\'t get in Thailand)</p>\n<p>I\'ll always try and take in a football match or two - and that certainly doesn\'t come cheap. Last year, I took a train to Crewe to see my beloved Colchester United and when you tot up the cost of the train fare, match ticket, programme and a half-time pie and Bovril, you\'re not left with much change from hundred quid. It all mounts up.</p>\n<p>I also take a holiday within a holiday. My parents moved to Spain 15 years ago, so I spend time with my brother in Birmingham before we both fly to Spain to stay with Mom and Dad for a few days. So there\'s the additional cost of another international flight, albeit only short-haul.</p>\n<p>And of course, it\'s only right that you pay your way for certain things when either friends or family have been good enough to offer you a spare bedroom or perhaps even just a sofa or camp-bed.</p>\n<h3>Good impressions</h3>\n<p>Returning home puts us in a strange situation of sorts. Even though your finances might not be in the best of shape, I think you always want to give friends and family the impression that you\'re at least doing OK and standing on your own two feet. It\'s human nature surely. So it\'s nice to be able to treat your friends to a round of drinks in the local or to take your family out for an Indian and pick up the tab or splash the cash on a Chinese takeaway.</p>\n<p>The first time I took my wife back to England - over 15 years ago - I managed to scrape together about 20,000 baht in spending money. 20,000 baht went a lot further then of course but it was still very much &lsquo;a budget holiday\'. On the first day back, I popped in to say hello to my Auntie Rita and Doreen (my mom\'s sisters) who had both been wonderful to me as a child growing up. I\'m not sure if they had a sixth sense, but at the end of our visit, when it was time to bid my aunts farewell, they handed me a brown envelope and said \"we don\'t see you very often\".</p>\n<p>In that envelope was a hundred pounds (the equivalent back then of about 7,000 baht). It was a life-saver. But I still had to rely on parents to foot the bill for meals out and to pay for the many &lsquo;treats\' that my wife and I enjoyed while we were there.</p>\n<p>So, whenever you plan to return home for a family visit, I wish you a safe journey and hope you have a magical time. And don\'t get stressed out over not managing to keep everyone happy. You\'re only human. You can\'t please all of the people all of the time.</p>','','2015-08-23 03:23:45',1,'2015-08-23 03:23:45','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(29942,20,'Sand dust','sand-dust','An American teacher takes up a position in Saudi Arabia','It is because of our children that six months ago I started to look for new employment, as Thailand is still a country of poor people and wages are not very high. A single individual earning my salary would have been relatively well off, but now I support my wife and kids and bills would pile up and we would be living from paycheck to paycheck.','<p>I have finally traveled the last leg of the trip to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Arrived here six days ago after starting in San Francisco, California, in 1980.</p>\n<h3>Money hungry</h3>\n<p>I was then a computer service engineer working in the city\'s downtown area when I met an American of Middle Eastern ancestry who worked for the same company. He had resigned, and then had been rehired again after a short stint working in Saudi Arabia. He lasted there only three months, but he did say that he had come back with enough money to make a down payment to buy a house.</p>\n<p>The lure of quick money was too much, and I thought I could to put in at least a year working in the Middle East as a high technology engineer. I wanted to have some cash so I could go back to college to finish my bachelor\'s degree, buy a house, and have a family. I had the America Dream. But the trip to Saudi Arabia was not to be a short one.</p>\n<p>As the hired taxi barreled at high speed out of the island Kingdom of Bahrain towards the King Fahd causeway connecting it to the mainland, I saw a familiarly shaped green freeway sign. It said \"to Saudi Arabia.\" I have seen countless of similar signs in other places... \"To San Jose\", \"to Los Angeles\", \"to JFK\", \"to Bangkok\", \"to Phuket.\" This one did not look out of place; it seemed almost natural, like it belonged.</p>\n<h3>Early signs</h3>\n<p>We traveled for nearly an hour on a modern freeway built over the ocean when we had to stop at the immigration checkpoint for passport formalities. Immediately after the tollbooths, there was an even more familiar sight: the large yellow arches and the red fa&ccedil;ade of a McDonald\'s fast food restaurant. The taxi driver asked if we should stop there. I declined: we were in a hurry and too much time had already been lost.</p>\n<p>The sun was setting down and we saw a sight often seen in posters or movies: an orange colored sunset against an orange colored sky over the distant horizon. The sand dust haze made it possible to stare directly into the distant star.</p>\n<p>It was already dark when we arrived, and we saw the oil refineries lights and their towers spewing flaming gas into the night. We had passed the industrial towns of Al-Dahran, Al-Khobar, Dammam, and were now in Jubail Industrial City. The streets were wide, but there was no traffic and buildings were few. There was good road lighting but not much to see.</p>\n<p>After making a few phone calls, the taxi driver dropped me off at one of the schools where I was to work as a teacher and soon an SUV arrived to take me to the school-provided accommodations. The Arab driver did not speak English and could not understand I wanted to buy some food and water for the evening. All he did was point forward and say \"friends,\" and \"call.\"</p>\n<p>He dropped me off at a nearby seemingly deserted building, showed me the way to an apartment on the third floor, and pointed to the apartments across the yard and said again, \"friends,\" and \"call.\" I did not insist for I know that trying to talk to people who do not understand a language is worse than trying to talk to the wall for at some point the people get angry. Walls never get angry; they are only obstacles to surpass.</p>\n<p>He left and I lugged my 30 kilos worth of belongings, guitar, and backpack up the stairs to the third floor.</p>\n<h3>Sand dust</h3>\n<p>Upon opening the apartment door, a cold blast of air hit my face. The central air conditioning was at least working, but the light switch did not turn the lights on. The fear of having been left in a cold, dark, dusty and deserted place with no food and water and no one to talk to, began to creep.</p>\n<p>In the distance, the loud wail of a Muslim call to prayer penetrated the silence leaving an eerie echo as it died away. The entire scene was like a script out of a horror movie. I attempted to regain composure and struggled against the fear of the unknown for a few minutes while searching for the main power switch panel. It was inside the walk-in clothes closet and with the help of a cigarette lighter to look at the on/off levers, took a leap of faith, and threw a switch. There was light.</p>\n<p>All flat surfaces in the apartment were covered with a fine layer of light brown sand dust. The very sand dust that dimmed the sun and made the sky orange. There was a TV, a small fridge, a microwave oven, a kitchenette with two burners, a kitchen sink, a good-sized bed with linen and bed cover, a desk, a table, two large chairs, and a dresser. It would be home, sand dust and all.</p>\n<h3>Making a friend</h3>\n<p>As an old car mechanic, motorcycle rider, and garage tinkerer, I had packed a cleaning rag made from an old t-shirt my wife had made me throw away, and that was the first thing I took out of my luggage. I had begun to wipe the sand dust off the tables, the counter top, and the TV, when I heard footsteps in the hallway. It was one of the tenants leaving the building. I chased him and after an informal introduction, I found out he was also a teacher in the same school I would be teaching. He was on his way to the gym and offered to show me the way to a nearby shopping mall, an offer clearly sent by divine forces. Originally from Sudan, he had studied in Virginia.</p>\n<p>As we walked to the shopping mall, I noticed we were in a residential neighborhood and that the houses were very similar to houses seen in the suburbs of any modern city: we could have been in the outskirts of Miami, Paris, Rome, or Athens. The streets, however, were deserted. An oppressing silence blanketed the neighborhood.</p>\n<p>The time was barely 8:00 in the evening. There were very few parked cars on the street, and most parking areas had no vehicles. The walk to the mall took only 5 minutes. We conversed the whole time about the things I needed to know about the town and the school. After showing me where the food supermarket was inside the mall, we parted ways.</p>\n<h3>Settling in</h3>\n<p>Since departing Bahrain kind of in a hurry, I had no chance of exchanging Bahraini Dinars into Saudi Arabian Riyals, thus was also penniless in terms of local currency. The supermarket would not accept payment for groceries in foreign currency. I had made it to the accommodations, found electric power, was now near food and water, but these last necessities were still a challenge away.</p>\n<p>The modern day convenience of ATM cards and the global interlinked banking network saved the hungry and thirsty traveler: I was able to extract local cash out of one of the ATM\'s near the store. I had regained full traction again.</p>\n<p>The supermarket was comparable to a Lucky\'s or a Safeway and I was able to find bottled water, crackers, strawberry jam, canned tuna, chocolate bars, and cold Coca-Cola. Dinner was never so welcomed.</p>\n<h3>First day of school</h3>\n<p>A driver from the school came to pick me up the next morning. It was daylight and I could now clearly see the surroundings. The scenery looked as if we were in Midwest America. The place resembled Arizona or New Mexico. The streets were wide, lined with trees and with very few cars. There was absence of colors but the simple light brown of sand on all the buildings and houses, the grayish street pavement and the almost washed out green of the tree leaves. The town almost looked like a Kansas suburb I had seen before.</p>\n<p>We arrived at the Royal Commission government building where a human resources officer processed my employment application and other official documents necessary for my work. He was very polite, helpful, and spoke very good English.</p>\n<p>All employees there were male, and wore the traditional Saudi full-length white robe and headscarf with a double black ring retainer on top. They all looked very comfortable in their attire working in modern looking office cubicles with all the usual office equipment surrounding them: computers, copy machines, file cabinets, paper trays, rubber stamps, and telephones. They all were very friendly and occasionally would come, introduce themselves in English with a genuine smile, and shake hands.</p>\n<p>By the time the driver dropped me off at the school, it was nearly noontime. I had to meet the school\'s own human resources officer and fill out a few more forms. He was also very welcoming, good mannered and spoke good English. A short while later, we went to my new office located at a nearby building. I then met my manager and all the teachers in the English department.</p>\n<h3>Teachers and students</h3>\n<p>All the teachers wore western clothes; some even wore suit and tie. They were extremely pleased to have a new addition to the group. Out of the fifteen teachers in our department, there were four Americans, one Canadian, and one British. The rest were from other countries such as Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Chad, and Pakistan.</p>\n<p>The students walking around the hallways and standing outside the classrooms were all young Saudi males and wore the traditional Saudi full-length white robe and headscarf although a few wore common western teenager clothes such a blue jeans and t-shirts, baseball caps and tennis shoes. There were no females in sight.</p>\n<p>After a long first day at work, I was back at my apartment, looking back on how I had gotten here. From the very beginning, nearly thirty years ago, there was always some kind of obstacle. We could not fairly call a love affair, or a new job, or lack of money an obstacle, but it was always something of that sort.</p>\n<h3>Rekindling lost loves</h3>\n<p>I recall not wanting to leave my lady lover at the time. After the affair was over, I traveled to Asia in 1983 for the first time, and had dreams of opening a computer business in Hong Kong or Thailand. Another love relationship and its failure did not speed me to my dreams. A promising job as a worldwide traveling engineer was more reachable and real, so my time was absorbed waiting at hotels and airports, as I went to places no one in his right mind would ever want to go to; I went there because the computer system was down, and I was the one to bring it back up.</p>\n<p>In one of the business trips, in 1986, I rediscovered Thailand, and an old dream was reborn. A year later, I decided to move and to live there. That dream was shattered by yet another love affair, which also saw its final day.</p>\n<p>By the way, how does one get a job in Saudi Arabia? Contacted a placement agency in Houston, Texas, and sending them a hefty fee for a job search, did not work. Never heard from them again. Newspaper classifieds seldom advertised for international jobs and those who did wanted people with \"overseas experience\" (How do you get overseas experience if you cannot get there in the first place?).</p>\n<h3>Researching jobs</h3>\n<p>Doing research was not my strongest point and maybe I failed in that area. At the time the Internet did not exist and only those with \"connections\" or who lived in industrial communities servicing the petroleum industry were probably the only ones who had inside knowledge on how to get a job in the Middle East. I had no idea that I could have just walked into the Bechtel Company building in downtown San Francisco, where I had serviced many a computer, and ask for information about employment in Saudi Arabia.</p>\n<p>It was Bechtel and its American engineers and crews who built the oil refineries in Al-Dahran, Al-Khobar, and Jubail Industrial City. The freeways, the wide and near perfect streets with evenly spaced street lights and signs as well as the houses in the residential areas surrounding them were made from blueprints brought from Kansas, Arizona, Texas, California. I should have been one of those engineers. I had wanted to be one of them. The resemblance to Midwest America, the presence of a McDonald\'s right at the border and the all too familiar green freeway signs were now clear.</p>\n<p>One evening, years ago, in 1989, while sitting at the dinner table, I announced to my mother and sister that I was going back to college to earn a bachelor\'s degree. Thailand seemed a little closer than Saudi Arabia but I still had to get more academic credentials before I could embark on a task that was greater than me. I had to arm myself with something. I had to re-load.</p>\n<h3>Life struggles</h3>\n<p>Without any money and unable to get student loans, for the next seven years I struggled taking classes at the San Francisco State University in the morning, while working two part time jobs in the afternoon and weekends. Shopped for food at the Lucky\'s supermarket in the evenings, did homework late at night, and sometimes, after midnight, dialed up the SFSU mainframe to do computer-programming assignments from my PC computer at home. When times got rough, especially towards the end, I mentally repeated one word like a mantra: \"reload.\"</p>\n<p>In the meantime, the Internet was slowly being born. Shortly thereafter, I was using a graphical operating system called \"Windows 95\" and then an application program called an \"internet browser\" made by the newly formed Netscape Company. \"Search engine\" programs had not been invented yet. Then the day came when I wore a graduation cap and gown. It was 1996.</p>\n<p>My mother and sister were there as well as my best friends Margaret and Steven. An automobile road mishap kept Lauren from coming. That evening, one of my best friends, Ronald, threw a graduation party for me at his house in the Fillmore district; other very good friends were there: Anne, George, Martin, Donald, my mother and sister, and Ron\'s lady friend.</p>\n<p>I spent the next five years working, still in engineering, paying off the credit card loans I had to take to finance my education. I also nearly paid off my mother\'s house loan and even began to put money away by the thousands of dollars. I had slowly regained traction but the unforeseen slowly crept up as well: my steering was faulty. After more than ten years of concentration on school and work, I had forgotten why I was doing it and where I was going. I now shudder at the thought that after reloading I was not aiming anymore.</p>\n<p>Another love relationship came and went leaving me saying, \"Never again.\" As I sat alone, house sitting for a friend who had gone traveling to Thailand, an uneasy feeling came to me as I said to myself \"something is wrong with this picture... why am I here? It\'s me who is supposed to be in Thailand, not him.\" All obstacles now out of the way, I remembered that I had a dream. I had forgotten my goal. I had sinned for not writing it down and not hanging it in front of me for all those past years.</p>\n<p>I had been too busy dealing with the day-to-day idiosyncrasies of a simple life turned complex and had forgotten why I was struggling. The means had become the end. I then made the most important life course correction: from that day on, any action that I undertook, had to have as its final goal to get me to Thailand. After resigning from a well-paid computer software engineering job, disposing of all belongings: cars, tools, motorcycles, radios, computers, firearms, old love letters, and clearing out of the house in San Francisco, I arrived in Thailand in 2002.</p>\n<h3>Back on track</h3>\n<p>As the old saying goes, \"Never say never,\" a year later, I met the woman who was to become my wife. We have since married and have Beam, my 9-year-old stepdaughter and our own daughter, Chelsea, now 18 months old. We rent a duplex in Phuket where I worked for the last five years as an English program manager at a local vocational college. We are all fortunate that we have each other. My wife is a caring mother and I am a responsible father. We both lead simple lives, love to have fun together, and our children love us for who we are.</p>\n<p>It is because of our children that six months ago I started to look for new employment, as Thailand is still a country of poor people and wages are not very high. A single individual earning my salary would have been relatively well off, but now I support my wife and kids and bills would pile up and we would be living from paycheck to paycheck.</p>\n<p>So armed with the new high speed Internet, its powerful search engines, and dedicated websites, I began to research the job market and found many job ads. In a couple of months had submitted letters of interest to about one hundred different companies and schools in several countries for both engineering and teaching positions. Within ninety days, I had three job interviews and two job offers. I took the best paying one. It was teaching English in Saudi Arabia.</p>\n<p>Even after accepting the initial job offer by E-mail, and while waiting for the actual contract document to arrive, I insisted in continuing the job search. Instead of spending time with our new baby at home, I would go to the nearby Internet caf&eacute; and spend hours doing job searches and applying for the available openings.</p>\n<h3>Born to fight and to win</h3>\n<p>One day, I told my wife I was going to the Internet caf&eacute; to continue looking for work, and she, somewhat annoyed at my insistence, replied, \"The economy is not good. Many companies are laying people off. Maybe better if you don\'t try to change jobs now...\" Thai people are very happy people and look at life in a very simple way. This makes them the more natural, humane, and lovable.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, this simplicity often annoys me for life is not so simple. Knowing that my wife did not intend to say anything against me, I put on a smile and said, \"Look honey, I\'m not Thai, I\'m a foreigner, an American, and we fight until we win... I have not won yet. I don\'t have a work contract in my hands.\"</p>\n<p>My wife, who often gets sensitive when I get serious, sensed the smoldering lava beginning to flow and quietly slipped away to the next room with the baby. That\'s right, we fight until we win and if we do not win, we step back to see where we went wrong, reload, then comeback with more speed and momentum, and if we can no longer fight, it\'s because we can now be counted among the fallen ones, in the sand dust.</p>\n<p>So at the end, we went to college, bought the house, moved to Thailand, got married, and had kids. Saudi Arabia was to come after all that. It was the last leg of the trip but it is not home.</p>\n<p>My home, sweetheart, and children are in Thailand, and there I shall return, reloaded.</p>\n<p><span><strong>Jorge Emilio Jo</strong></span></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/saudi.jpg','2015-08-25 06:15:51',1,'2015-08-25 06:15:51','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30301,20,'Comparing teaching in Thailand v Saudi Arabia','comparing-teaching-in-thailand-v-saudi-arabia','What happens when you leave for the big bucks.','Thailand had run its course for me. I enjoyed it for years but the shine eventually wore off. I plan to return for a visit here and there. You just don\'t live in a place for 10 years and forget it.','<p>How is teaching in Saudi compared to Thailand?</p>\n<h3>Money, money, money</h3>\n<p>Well let\'s cut to the chase and get to the big issue; money. This month I will collect approximately 10,000 tax free United States dollars from my employer here in Saudi Arabia. It breaks down to rounded figures of 4,800 dollars monthly salary, 4,000 yearly bonus, and a 1,100 dollar reimbursement for my flight to Ghana, where I spent my 7 week paid summer vacation.</p>\n<p>I have 11 weeks paid holiday as it stands now, and thanks to the way Ramadan falls in relationship to our academic calendar, it appears that we may have as much as a 3 and a half month break for summer this academic year.</p>\n<p>I have excellent medical and dental insurance. I saved approximately 40,000 dollars my first year here in Saudi. It would have been a few thousand more, but I gave a few grand away to a family member to help him expand his export business. In fact next year I will probably save around 45k due to my annual raise which I just received. That is a hell of a lot of Tom Yam Goong. More than I ate in my 10 plus years teaching in Thailand for sure.</p>\n<h3>The students</h3>\n<p>So what do I have to do for this money? Well, I teach 25 hours a week at a vocational college in Jeddah, on the Red Sea in the middle of the west coast between Mecca and Medina.</p>\n<p>The teaching, for me at least, is fun. The students (all male classes) require a lot of classroom management. However, Power Teaching has turned a difficult situation into a rather easy, very rewarding one. (<a href=\"/blogs/lee-lepper\">You can read some blogs I wrote for Phil on \"Whole Brain\" or \"Power Teaching\" here on Ajarn</a>).</p>\n<p>I will be quick to add that in spite of the students being somewhat unruly, immature and lazy, they are very respectful towards western teachers and appreciative of our presence. Basically they are good kids, but they have no work ethic thanks to being born into the ultimate nanny state.</p>\n<p>The King just doles out the petro dollars to keep the peace. Even \"poor\" Saudis, like many of the students I teach at vocational college, don\'t really struggle to survive. Nevertheless, for them to get enough money to get a dowry for a wife, a new Audi, and to buy a decent home to start a family is difficult, if they aren\'t well connected. The idea that all Saudis are running around in Ferraris is a big misconception.</p>\n<h3>Saudiazation</h3>\n<p>The college I work in is part of Saudi Arabia\'s \"Colleges of Excellence\" program. The main goal of the colleges, apart from English and technical education, is preparing young Saudis to enter the private sector, a process called Saudiazation.</p>\n<p>Something like 40 per cent of the population of Saudi Arabia are foreigners. Currently the Saudi private sector is comprised of only 500,000 workers. Unemployment is high and the rest are government workers that make American bureaucrats look like real go getter workaholics.</p>\n<p>Most of these foreign workers are from underdeveloped Asian countries like Bangladesh , India, Pakistan and the Philippines. The rest come from Western nations and surrounding Middle Eastern countries. If all the Egyptians left tomorrow there would be no doctors. If all the Philippine workers left there would be no nurses and all restaurants would close. If all the Indians left there would be no internet. If all the Lebanese left there would be a tremendous shortage of teachers. If all the Bangladeshis and Pakistanis left there would be no taxis or trash service.</p>\n<p>When the day comes that something changes in the oil market, which it eventually will, all these people will leave, and Saudi Arabia will be in a deep pile of camel caca if the status quo doesn\'t change. Thus there is a real need for Saudi to diversify its economy and prepare Saudi youth to get a job and actually be productive.</p>\n<p>Saudi Arabians, unlike Iran, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt jumped off the camel\'s back right into the 20th century. The King himself was born in a tent in the desert. They are only a couple of generations removed from being the roaming nomadic warring clansmen that inhabited the inhospitable Arabian peninsula that King Abdulaziz bin Saud untied into a country in the 1920\'s.</p>\n<p>You want to come face to face with the Middle Ages? Come to Saudi. This is the context that education takes place in, in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.</p>\n<h3>Lifestyle</h3>\n<p>Life here can be a bit boring. To compare Bangkok to Jeddah in terms of \"fun things to do\" is like comparing Hussein Bolt to your average bloke in line at an all you can eat breakfast buffet in Pattaya in terms of \"fast runners.\"</p>\n<p>Obviously there are no pubs, much less something as over the top as Nana Plaza. Live music is banned, everything is segregated by gender, there are no movie theaters, no golf courses in Jeddah (ouch), and beaches cost about 50 bucks to enter.</p>\n<p>There are however options to break up the monotony. First and foremost are the vacations. As I said before, this past year I had 11 weeks paid holiday. This year I have plans to spend 10 days in the States, a week in Bangkok, a week in Paris and then the long summer break in Africa and Thailand.</p>\n<p>In addition there is an underground music scene, compound parties, and an abundance of American theme restaurants, as well as authentic Italian, French, Chinese and Turkish places to eat.</p>\n<p>Also people do become quite adept at making their grape and apple juice a bit more.... zesty... shall we say. Also Mamana, the capital Bahrain, is a only 2 hour plane ride away from Jeddah where you can take a weekend trip and brush up on your Thai with some nong sows that have relocated to a city which was ranked number 2 worldwide as a single man\'s best destination, behind...........you guessed it........Pattaya. (As a disclaimer I endorse neither zesty grape juice or flights to Bahrain to visit the \"museums,\" the euphemism used here among Saudis for red light activities).</p>\n<p>The weather in Jeddah is beautiful 9 months out of the year with highs around 25 and lows around 18. Riyadh on the other hand is an oven. The biggest downside is the crazy traffic, not traffic jam crazy like Bangkok, but crazy like life threatening crazy. Forget terrorism, your odds of dying an untimely death in a car accident are infinitely greater than being killed in a terrorist incident.</p>\n<p>That is my biggest beef with Saudis. In general they are welcoming, friendly people but they are absolute suicidal/homicidal maniacs behind the wheel of a car. Most roads are designed to make head on collisions unlikely. In spite of that I have seen a good bit of gore on the streets. You even see children driving here occasionally. I once had a 13 year old taxi driver.</p>\n<h3>The trade off</h3>\n<p>So is it worth trading the \"good life\" in Thailand for the money to be earned in Saudi?</p>\n<p>For me it is a no brainer. The cash here is just too good to pass up.</p>\n<p>Thailand had run its course for me. I enjoyed it for years but the shine eventually wore off. I plan to return for a visit here and there. You just don\'t live in a place for 10 years and forget it.</p>\n<p>As I said I am planning to visit for a week in December and, most likely spend a month or more visiting friends in Bangkok and playing golf around Pattaya next summer. I make 6000 baht a day, every day of the year, whether I am working or not. I spend a whopping 23,000 baht a month here in Saudi the months I am working, so 2000 baht hotel rooms and 1500 baht rounds of golf sound like a bargain vacation to me nowadays.</p>\n<p>My next trip to Thailand will be a different kind of experience for sure. I made 30-60 thousand baht a month when I worked in Thailand, enough to enjoy my time, but money was always a consideration. It is much, much less of one now.</p>\n<p>In addition, given my enhanced financial situation I have a very strong suspicion that on touching down at Suvaranabumi I will be magically transformed to even more of a handsome man at age 55 than when I first landed at Don Mueang at age 41.</p>\n<p>Saudi has a lot of advantages, but not the magic of Thailand that is for sure. Every place has its own special pluses and minuses.</p>\n<p><strong>Lee Lepper</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/lee.jpg','2015-08-28 17:19:59',1,'2015-08-28 17:19:59','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30363,71,'A visa to the States… or not','a-visa-to-the-states-or-not','Here we go, folks.

Well, that and the fact that other Americans generally annoy me.','<p>I haven\'t gone to visit the States since I left over three years ago, and to be honest I have no desire to do so now. However, parents do start to miss their children after a time, and as my Thai fianc&eacute; and I have both recently finished graduate programs (or rather, she finishes soon), and as I\'m finally at a school that gives me Christmas holidays, my dad bought us return tickets to visit them in the States over the holidays. Ok, sure, it\'d be nice to see the family and whatnot; sounds fun.</p>\n<h3>Red tape</h3>\n<p>Having returned to the States after a stint abroad in the past, I am already well aware of the hoops I have to pass through, as a citizen, to prove I\'m not harboring terrorists and whatnot before returning; it\'s taken me hours in airports to deal with this before. So, I knew it wouldn\'t be a cake walk to get my Thai fianc&eacute; a visa, but surely it\'s doable.</p>\n<p>Apparently not. We paid the $160 (currently almost 6,000 baht) application fee, I guess to make sure none of the wrong type breach the borders, filled out the comical application (have you, or anyone you know, ever aided in international drug smuggling schemes? -I wish), made the appointment, and showed up bright and early.</p>\n<h3>Interview</h3>\n<p>Her appointed application officer, according to her and several other applicants I met outside (as a citizen, I\'m obviously not allowed to go in the embassy with her), was, let\'s say, not too keen on his job. Keeping in mind my fianc&eacute; is completely fluent in English, and that the only document the officer had at the time was the online application itself, the interview went as thus:</p>\n<p>Where are you going? -Savannah, Georgia</p>\n<p>Who is this contact person listed on the application? -my fianc&eacute;\'s dad&nbsp;(glances up at her)</p>\n<p>Your fianc&eacute;... let me see his visa and work permit. -...he\'s waiting outside, they wouldn\'t let him in!</p>\n<p>How long have you been dating? -over three years.</p>\n<p>And you\'ve never travelled abroad together? -well, it\'s expensive and we both work full time.</p>\n<h3>Suspicion</h3>\n<p>Application denied. You can\'t show his passport OR work permit, you\'ve been dating for years and haven\'t left the country together, and that\'s suspicious. -(tries to hand him her folder of evidence) but... (tosses denial slip and slams window shut)</p>\n<p>Now, for those of you with a keen sense of... sense... may notice that this gentleman never even offered to look at her paperwork, which contained her working contract as a Thai government officer (a relatively sought-after and respected position here), salary slips, paid return ticket confirmation, and other proof that she has absolutely no intention of eloping to the US and staying there. She tried to offer it just before the officer slammed the window shutter, but alas, no success.</p>\n<p>She wasn\'t the only one with the gentleman who had likely suffered from the bad Thai hooker experience; several others had similar stories. Now, well-riled, I decided to do what any good citizen would do: write a letter to the embassy that would make absolutely no difference. I was very cordial, even kind in my eyes, humbly suggesting that procedure may not have been followed. Shall I quote a bit? Yes, because the response (shockingly, I got a response) was comical.</p>\n<p>\"I would like to file a formal complaint regarding the Embassy\'s handling of a recent Non-Immigrant visa application made by my Thai fianc&eacute;. While I fully realize the need for strict filtering of visa issuances, and while I also realize that application approval is at the discretion of the Consul Officer, I feel that this particular application was inconsistent with the published guidelines and requirements of the application process.</p>\n<p>[brief description of what happened]</p>\n<h3>Complaint</h3>\n<p>My complaint is thus: the Officer never even asked to see the applicant\'s documents that would have proven her intentions, and my understanding is that the Officer was not in the best of spirits per several other denied applicants I met as I was waiting outside the Embassy.</p>\n<p>Keeping in mind that the application documentation does not require my legal documents for an application, although those could easily have been supplied, I feel that the Officer did not follow proper procedure as the applicant\'s verification documents were not even requested for validation.\"</p>\n<p>Nice, eh?  I was rather proud of being nice. Am I wrong in thinking that the officer should at least LOOK at the validating paperwork before denying the application?</p>\n<p>Their response, though, was spot-on with US governmental authority. You have the \"burden of proof\" to \"prove\" that you don\'t intend to immigrate to the US (how can you prove anything if the officer won\'t even look at the documents?), the officer must use his/her discretion in the interest of national security (I feel safer already), do feel free to apply (and pay) again, etc.</p>\n<p>Essentially, the lines from Matilda: \"I\'m big and you\'re small, I\'m right and you\'re wrong,\" all copied directly off their website. Good of them to bother replying though; you\'d never even get that Stateside.</p>\n<h3>Angry</h3>\n<p>I can count on two fingers the number of times I\'ve actually been angry since moving to Thailand, and the first was my last 8+ hour stint at Bangkok immigration. At least in Thailand, the government\'s upfront, basically like, \"We\'re completely full of shit and you\'re just going to have to deal with it, foreigner.\"</p>\n<p>In the US, it\'s more \"YOU\'RE completely full of shit, we\'re the greatest country on Earth and we\'ll prove it to you by bombing everyone and denying your visas because we can, HA, HA, HA.\" Ok, so that\'s obviously a dramatization, but you get the idea. To quote Walter from The Big Lebowski, \"Dude, am I wrong?\"</p>\n<p>The irony is, I don\'t even want to visit the States; although it\'d be great to see my family, this kind of bureaucratic nonsense is exactly the reason I don\'t live there anymore.

In fact, during my last observation, my inspector rated me excellent in my teaching.','<p>A generous friend of mine recently lent me his Dell touch screen computer    to let me try his Inter- Action (an interactive program with 54 competencies - vocabulary, spelling, games, structure,  and reading components; lessons on the alphabet, numbers, sight words, greetings, phonics, and personal information from Kinder to Grade  2; and  a Karaoke of nursery rhymes whose tempo can be adjusted to suit our Thai students.</p>\n<p>While using the touch screen computer I got access to so many websites like Starfall.com that made my non- readers and beginning readers to progress remarkably in reading. Of course, I was also able to fully make use of many action songs from the internet as if the children were watching a DVD.  So, who wouldn\'t really enjoy using this high tech material?</p>\n<p>With   12, 16,6,14, 7, 13, and 10 compositions of my students by grade, the touch screen computer suited my classes very well. Everybody could see zoomed or maximized applications such that even the last person in class could see.</p>\n<p>Although it differed from an ordinary computer, the screen was much bigger, and operating it needed neither mouse nor keyboard. Only touching the screen would make the desired word, letter, or picture change.</p>\n<p>I felt so overwhelmed by the results of using the touch screen computer for this was my first time in 9 years to use the most updated technology in my English classes. In fact, during my last observation, my inspector rated me excellent in my teaching.</p>\n<p>Because of the excitement my students got from the material, they always looked forward to be in my English room. In fact, the next classes would eagerly crowd in by the door to wait for their turn to learn. Every class failed to notice the passing of the time when learning with the computer.</p>\n<p>That\'s why inattentiveness, noise, and lack of interest in the subject were minimized. Although this  equipment  could only develop  reading, speaking,   and listening aspects of my students I made  my lessons holistic by integrating  writing in the lessons  by letting them  translate  sight words in Thai, writing  dialogues, spelling, looking up meaning of words in a dictionary, and answering  worksheets to  test their reading, speaking, and listening skills.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, to make the activities more challenging and more interesting, I divided my classes into groups so that there would be competition. Winning groups earned points and received little prizes, a stamp of Winnie the pooh, Casper, the ghost or Jollibee depending on their performance.</p>\n<p>Despite all the wonders technology could offer, we have to prepare an alternative lesson in case the machine breaks down or in case the connection is slow.</p>\n<p>Next time, when my good friend decides to get back his unit, I will buy my own touch screen computer. I want to sustain my students\' much improved learning.</p>\n<p>Even though it costs a little bit,  I can sacrifice a few things if only to have something to use  for my students  I am so determined   to improve their  confidence, change their   attitude, deepen their  interest in English , and have  better attitude towards English as well as improving class performance.</p>','','2015-09-02 01:46:45',1,'2015-09-02 01:46:45','2015-09-02 15:03:46'),(30365,52,'September 2015','september-2015','All the latest info from Thailand\'s major TEFL courses','If you\'re thinking of doing a TEFL course in Thailand and perhaps looking for a good deal, then our monthly TEFL course blog is just what you\'re looking for.','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thaistudents2.jpg\" style=\"color: #545454; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<hr style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/SEE.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" /><strong><strong>SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong></strong></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai has been teaching a full-time 120-hour course for over nine years and can boast over 800 graduates.

My initial exposure to the cuisine occurred when I was quite young. In fact, I was so young that I didn\'t even know that it was Thai food. Hell, I only new Thailand from the tags on clothing.','<p>My relationship with Thai food is quite complicated. My initial exposure to the cuisine occurred when I was quite young. In fact, I was so young that I didn\'t even know that it was Thai food. Hell, I only new Thailand from the tags on clothing.</p>\n<p>Because I was a young child eating fried vegetables with chicken, it seemed just like Chinese food, but not as greasy. It didn\'t seem special or anything, but I enjoyed eating it when Thai restaurants were the only places open on Christmas. Little did I know that one day I would be eating it three meals a day, discovering far more interesting dishes than chicken with vegetables or pad see ew.</p>\n<h3>Healthy?</h3>\n<p>The first thing I want to say about Thai food is that it\'s not some healthy diet food like it\'s often made out to be. In fact, having typically cooked all my own food in America, I gained around 15 pounds within about a year of being here. I attribute this to the excessive amounts of sugar, unhealthy oils, and fatty meat that is typically used in Thai food, along with white rice being eaten at pretty much every meal. There are lots of healthy options available, but you really have to know what to order, where to look, and how to order your food.</p>\n<p>If you live by yourself or often eat alone, you will probably end up ordering a lot of raad khao (one dish over rice). This will be your standard chicken with basil, chicken with curry paste and long beans, chicken with garlic, chicken with sweet yellow peppers, etc. These restaurants will also have fried rice, pad see ew, rad naa, etc. Your dishes will cost 30-45 Baht, once you add an egg are generally filling enough, and are super quick and easy.</p>\n<p>However, the servings of meat are typically less than I would like them to be, and they certainly don\'t like to give you lots of vegetables. These are also the dishes likely to be saturated with oil and loaded with sugar. If you have a local restaurant that you go to often or can give very clear and explicit directions in Thai, you can manage to arrange for less of the bad stuff and more of the healthy. I used to eat this kind of food three meals a day, but living with my girlfriend, I generally only eat it for lunch on weekends now.</p>\n<h3>\'Nooden\'</h3>\n<p>Noodles are another thing you may eat often if you live alone, and if you have a Thai significant other, they are even more likely to be a daily thing in your household. It kills me when my students tell me they ate \"nooden\" for lunch. Not because of the pronunciation which I\'ve already corrected at least 100 times, but because it\'s such a boring and non-descriptive answer which does a tragic injustice to Thai noodle dishes. That statement may give one the impression that I love Thai noodle dishes. I actually don\'t, but I do appreciate their availability and variety.</p>\n<p>You can get noodles 24-7 in Bangkok. I can walk less than 50 meters from my front door and choose from, Chinese egg noodles with dumplings and crispy pork, rice noodles with mixed beef, boat noodles, rice noodles with chicken and bitter melon, or even guay jub (however one would begin to describe that). I find that pretty amazing. The reason I don\'t love them is because eating noodle soup never leaves me full as if I\'ve eaten a real meal, the same way Thais don\'t feel full when they eat pizza. As the noodle dishes are served, again there is almost never any substantial amount of vegetables, but there is typically a basket of bitter melon, basil, bean sprouts, or something that you can load your soup up with.</p>\n<h3>Office lunch</h3>\n<p>If you work in an office, there are likely no less than 10 vendors directly in front of it serving a variety of types of food throughout the work day. My two go to lunches are khao rad gaeng (which my coworkers call point and choose two items over rice) or nam prik. I\'m lucky to have a nice Thai restaurant directly next to my school which sells 3 item khao rad gaeng for 45-60 Baht depending what you get. It runs out fast, so it\'s always super fresh. There are usually about 20 different options, so you have lots of choices, and it\'s behind glass, so it at least makes you feel as if it\'s clean.</p>\n<p>I\'m also blessed to have a sweet old lady who sells great nam prik, bags of raw or steamed vegetables, fried tofu/chicken ball skewers, omelettes, fried fish, etc. right in front of my school every day. For lunch today I got 2 bags of sticky rice, 2 chicken ball skewers, beef naem, nam prik bla too, and a bag of raw vegetables for 45 Baht. I think that\'s an incredible deal, especially because I love to eat lots of raw vegetables. She also gives me something extra for free pretty much every time I go there, and that makes me a little happier every day.</p>\n<h3>Isaan food</h3>\n<p>But what I really love about Thai food is the food that you eat when share with other people. I\'ll break this down into two categories of food. There is khao dtom and there is Isaan food. Isaan food is what I typically eat three meals a day. Khao dtom is for me a more special thing that I might do every week or two on a weekend with my girlfriend. I would never wake up and go eat khao dtom for breakfast. However, on a Saturday morning, a big Isaan meal is exactly what I want.</p>\n<p>Khao dtom is boiled rice soup. It\'s plain and watery and soft. If you order it by itself it will have pork or something in it and have a more flavorful broth, but when you go to a khao dtom restaurant, it will just be boiled rice in water that you eat instead of plain steamed rice with the other dishes that you order.</p>\n<p>If I go to a khao dtom restaurant, I\'m usually going to order 3-4 of the following: something spicy with frog, crispy pork fried with the Thai equivalent of Brussel sprouts, Tom yum, fried morning glory, spicy chicken feet soup, a steamed fish with lime, garlic, and chillies, or an omelette. I love khao dtom places because they are cheap at 40-150 Baht a dish, they are casual and relaxing, and big bottles of beer are usually 60-80 Baht a bottle.</p>\n<p>Finally, Isaan food is the real reason that I love Thai food. Isaan food in my opinion has the best range of flavors and the most interesting ingredients. Isaan restaurants are also often going to be the places where you get the best service and the biggest smiles, unless you go to a crappy one, but there should be enough close by that you can avoid crappy ones pretty easily.</p>\n<p>Similarly to khao dtom places, Isaan places are only worth visiting if you have eat least one other person with you. This is because you should order at least 2-3 different dishes in order to get a range of flavors and ingredients.</p>\n<p>I usually eat Isaan food in one of two different ways. The first is when I eat it for dinner on a weeknight. I\'ll usually order gaeng om (an Isaan soup) with pork and some variety of som tam, probably tam Korat or tam boo bla raa. I\'ll steam my own rice at home and make an omelette with a few eggs.</p>\n<p>This is a perfect meal for two people because you get plenty of vegetables, pork, egg, rice, and papaya. It will also only cost about 80-120 baht for two people to be completely full. I do this one to three times a week and I never get bored, especially since you can switch up the types of som tam.</p>\n<p>The second way I eat Isaan food is going all out, ordering 5 different things, and stuffing my face. I\'ll usually do this on a Friday night at my favorite sit down Isaan place on Inthamara 47 with a few beers, or order carry out from one of my local places for a Saturday morning brunch. These two moments are when I truly appreciate the food which this wonderful country has introduced to me.</p>\n<h3>Som tam</h3>\n<p>You\'ve obviously got to get som tam when you\'re eating Thai food, but the question is what kind to get. Thai style som tam at most places is horrible and not spicy at all, but my favorite restaurant has amazing Thai style som tam with grilled pork neck or fresh shrimp. If I don\'t get that, I might get Korat style or throw in some pork rinds. Tam Korat is basically Thai style but they add fermented fish sauce.</p>\n<p>You\'ve got som tam, so now you need some meat. My girlfriend\'s favorite meat dish is goy kua. It\'s basically larb, but it\'s got bile in it to make it bitter. Sounds disgusting, but it\'s pretty delicious. Leave it to me and I\'ll probably order grilled pork neck or grilled intestines to snack on if I\'m not in the mood for larb. If we don\'t order any of those, it\'s probably because we\'ve got a gigantic salt crusted grilled fish.</p>\n<p>Next you need a soup. One of my favorite things about Isaan food is all the different soups. Gaeng om is the one we eat most often, but I also love dtom saep and gaeng het. Dtom saep is basically the Isaan equivalent of tom tam, although that\'s a drastic oversimplification. Gaeng het is a thick and spicy soup with fermented fish sauce, mushroom, pumpkin, and other vegetables.</p>\n<h3>The spice of life</h3>\n<p>So clearly from the amount of time I spent here focusing on Isaan food, it\'s something that I\'m passionate about. I love it for a few reasons, but one of the main ones is that it is much healthier than central Thai food. There are tons of raw, steamed, and boiled vegetables, and the meat is usually grilled or boiled instead of being fried in oil. I also love that it is spicy.</p>\n<p>Being someone who ate food spicier than most Thai people eat even when I lived in America, getting food that isn\'t spicy here is always a let down. If you know your local Isaan cooks, you will never suffer that let down. My personal blog is full of Isaan stuff, so I\'ll end that subject here, and if you care to read more, you can go ahead and check that out</p>\n<p>To finish up this entry which was much longer than I realized it would be, I\'d like to say that Thai food is what you make of it. If you don\'t try new things, it will get boring fast. If you don\'t know what the healthy options are, it can be a bit daunting. And if you don\'t like rice, you\'re screwed. Anyone new to Thailand should definitely start experimenting with new foods as soon as possible. I have lived here for three years and am still finding new things to eat pretty much every week.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading this.&nbsp;<a href=\"https://mikeinbkk.wordpress.com/\">Please pay a visit to my own personal blog site</a>.

Then it\'s back to England for another four days at the end of the holiday.

It\'s going to be very much a &lsquo;go with the flow\' sort of visit.</p>\n<p>So let\'s see what England and Spain have to offer - and we\'ll make the best of it.</p>\n<h3>Homely digs</h3>\n<p>So here is my accommodation for the fortnight.</p>\n<p>In Birmingham, I\'ll be staying with my brother and his partner (and their four children) in the suburb of Boldmere. The larger and more well-known town of Sutton Coldfield is a brisk twenty minute walk away, if like me, you are too stingy to pay the bus fare.</p>\n<p>Birmingham City Centre is also twenty minutes away by train.</p>\n<p>This photo is looking down towards Boldmere High Street (with our kid\'s place on the right) The high street is a modest affair but not without its charms.</p>\n<p>There are several good coffee shops, a fine selection of Indian restaurants, Chinese takeaways and kebab shops (as you would expect) There\'s an excellent Wetherspoons pub called The Bishop Vesey, a Tesco Express, a Travelodge and the prime attraction as far as I\'m concerned - a branch of Greggs the Baker.</p>\n<p>But what I really admire about Boldmere is how even in these times of economic uncertainty, traditional \'old school\' businesses like the greengrocer, the out-of-town gents outfitters and the olde worlde sweetshop have all managed not only to survive, but to flourish. Long may it continue. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/boldmere.jpg\" width=\"1440\" />&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>My Mom and Dad\'s home in the Spanish countryside is a complete contrast to the bustling suburbs of Birmingham. They both retired from the rat-race some fifteen years ago, emigrated to Spain for the warmer weather and lower cost of living - and have lived in the village of El Fondo ever since.</p>\n<p>El Fondo is in the Alicante Province in the south-west corner of the country. The kiss-me-quick coastal resort of Benidorm, the expat enclave of Torrevieja and the beautiful city of Alicante (with its international airport) are all less than an hour\'s drive away. However, my folks live inland in an area of vineyards, mountains and bodegas that for a couple of Euros will sell you as much red wine as you can carry.</p>\n<p>The photo below shows El Fondo during rush hour. You should see it in the depths of Winter when it\'s even quieter!</p>\n<p>There have been two noteworthy events in El Fondo\'s history. That time when a family of gypsies wandered through the village flogging hand-made tea-towels - and then in more recent times, when a strange animal decided to make El Fondo its home and was spotted skulking around the village just after dark. It turned out to be a cat.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I\'m joking of course but to say El Fondo is \'peaceful\' doesn\'t quite do things justice. However, when Mom and Dad first moved to the village, it was a vibrant little community, with them being the only foreigners in town.</p>\n<p>The local Spanish - most of them elderly - welcomed Mom and Dad with open arms. There was always a neighbor knocking on the door to offer some freshly-made paella or similar Spanish treat. Mom would often joke that because the Spanish are the most enthusiastic of greeters (kisses on both cheeks, etc) it would take hours to walk from one end of the village to the other.</p>\n<p>Sadly, times have changed. With each passing year, the village population has diminished as the old folk have either passed away or become too frail to look after themselves and gone to live with sons and daughters in neighboring towns. Many of the properties have fallen into disrepair.</p>\n<p>But Mom and Dad remain here in their little corner of Spain. And this is where I\'ll be staying for six days.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/fondo.jpg\" />&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Tuesday 22nd September 8.00am</h3>\n<p>They say the world is divided into two distinct groups: early airport people and late airport people. And that\'s why I\'m here at Bangkok International just before 8.00am for a flight that doesn\'t leave until midday. I am the ultimate early airport person. And there\'s a good reason for this.</p>\n<p>Twenty odd years ago - with time on my hands and money in my pocket - I took myself off to the Greek island of Corfu for a fortnight of what kids get up to in their first flushes of independent youth.</p>\n<p>After what felt like one long 14-day party, I overslept on the final morning and faced the prospect of not only missing the flight home, but being stranded on the island for another week with barely two drachmas to rub together.</p>\n<p>But a crazy taxi-ride from one end of Corfu to the other got me to the airport with five minutes to spare. Security staff had to drive me across the runway in one of those little cars with the flashing lights to a plane that was almost ready for take-off.</p>\n<p>My stress level went off the scale that day and it was a long time before my heartbeat returned to something like its normal rhythm.</p>\n<p>The incident left me scarred for life. From that day to this, I arrive at airports ridiculously early and I don\'t do flights where the layovers are less than two hours. Those are the rules.</p>\n<h3>Killing time</h3>\n<p>But of course being an early airport person leads to one major problem - the realization that once you\'ve checked in and gone through security and immigration, you now have the best part of four hours to waste.</p>\n<p>Other passengers seem to kill time at airports with little effort but I\'ve never grasped the attraction of wandering aimlessly around duty free shops, testing the latest masculine fragrances from Calvin Klein, trying on ridiculous-looking headphones and fingering giant Toblerones. I prefer to find a quiet seating area far from the maddening crowds and amuse myself with whatever electronic devices I have to hand.</p>\n<h3>A nice discovery</h3>\n<p>Because I was at the airport on my own and had no one to chat with, I decided to try out one of the CIP first class lounges - and very impressed I was too.</p>\n<p>There are six of these lounges scattered around Suwanabhum and all seem to offer passengers the same deal. It also doesn\'t matter whether you are flying economy class or business. Anyone can use a CIP lounge.</p>\n<p>For a thousand baht you get two hours access to unlimited food and drink (including spirits and alcohol) free wi-fi and comfy armchairs. They even provide hot showers if you\'re the sort of traveler who likes to get naked before a flight.</p>\n<p>I\'ve walked past these lounges many times and never once felt tempted but I\'m well and truly a convert now.</p>\n<p>OK, the food selection will never win any awards (mainly bland-looking sandwiches and pies) but as a package, the CIP lounge definitely works. It\'s a far better alternative to toughing it out with the great unwashed in Burger King and the other shitty restaurants on offer</p>\n<p>In terms of scheduling, I\'m booked on a Lufthansa flight from Bangkok to Frankfurt. Then I\'ve got three hours on German soil (time for a small draft beer perhaps?) before catching the one-hour connection to Birmingham, where hopefully my brother will be waiting for me. I\'m due to land in &lsquo;Brum\' about 11pm local time. It\'s then only a short drive to my brother\'s home in Boldmere.</p>\n<p>Door-to-door, the total journey is just shy of 21 hours.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m looking forward to the long-haul leg of the trip because I\'ve splashed out on Lufthansa\'s relatively new &lsquo;premium economy\' seat. For 50% more than the cost of an economy class ticket, you get a larger seat in a specially designated area of the aircraft, with extra legroom, meals served on proper plates, your very own armrests and wait for it - a complimentary bottle of drinking water.</p>\n<p>The on-line reviews are positive, but as one experienced flyer put it - you won\'t be disappointed as long as you look on it as premium economy and not some sort of &lsquo;business class lite\'. That sounds fair enough.</p>\n<p>Lufthansa also give you a very generous 46 kilogram baggage allowance. I can check in not one, but two suitcases provided neither case exceeds 23 kilos. It sounds like an amazing deal for drug traffickers, but as it is I\'ve managed to squeeze my modest pile of clothes into just one case thank you.</p>\n<p>Eventually the time comes to board the plane. My first impressions of the premium economy seat are good. The passengers settle themselves in for the eleven-hour flight and the captain comes on to tell us the route we\'ll be taking and the altitudes we\'ll be flying at. I\'m with comedian Jerry Seinfeld on all that frankly pointless trivia - \"hey! Captain! as long as you get me to where it says on the ticket, just do whatever you gotta do and let me sleep\"</p>\n<p>But the captain sounds like he\'s in a good mood, with no dark thoughts and free from political or religious leanings. I don\'t need to explain that bit do I?</p>\n<p>Anyway, see you in Frankfurt.</p>\n<h3>10.00pm Frankfurt Airport</h3>\n<p>I won\'t go as far as to say 11 hours just flew by but thanks to a couple of decent in-flight movies and the odd cat-nap (I can never sleep soundly on long-haul flights) I\'ve made it to Frankfurt.</p>\n<p>Frankfurt Airport is peaceful at this time of day. Most of the shops and restaurants are empty and the staff are all playing with smartphones in an attempt to alleviate the boredom. It feels strangely like the Germans have kindly kept a whole international airport open just for me.</p>\n<p>The passengers on the 70-minute flight to Birmingham are mostly business people. Many of them appear tetchy and overworked. Perhaps meetings went on too long or liquid lunches didn\'t meet expectations, but something has put them in a bad mood and their sole objective seems to be to get into as many petty arguments with security staff as possible.</p>\n<p>\"What do you mean I have to put my bag through this X-ray, I already X-rayed it at a machine over there? This is preposterous\"</p>\n<p>I think there are interesting comparisons to be drawn from the two sets of passengers I\'ve encountered today. On long-haul flights, there is a sort of underlying camaraderie. You can see it in the snatched conversations and small talk as people queue for the lavatories. It stands to reason I suppose. You\'ve got 200-odd passengers on-board and everyone knows they\'re going to be stuck on an aircraft for the best part of half a day. It\'s important that everyone gets along.</p>\n<p>Business types on short European hops, especially late at night, have no time for such pleasantries. They\'ve had a murderous day of spreadsheets and overlong PowerPoint presentations. The moment they locate their seats and stow their gear into an overhead bin, there\'s a race to fish out a Kindle or an i-pad or whatever electronic distraction it takes in order to not have to make conversation or eye contact with the people around them.</p>\n<p>So while I\'m sticking the boot into business people, perhaps I can take you briefly back to the late 80\'s.</p>\n<p>I worked at Birmingham Airport for a short time on the customer service desk of a major car rental company. Even though the salary was appalling given the amount of work and the unsociable hours, to this day it\'s still the best job I ever had. I loved that busy travel hub environment and shared some great times with an amazing team of people.</p>\n<p>But you\'re never truly satisfied with your lot. Every day I would watch business people with their smart suits and designer briefcases flying out to exotic cities like Paris and Hamburg and think - &lsquo;one day that\'s going to be me\'.</p>\n<p>Fast forward a decade or so and it was me. I was a sales manager jetting around South East Asia with deals to make and hands to shake. And I hated every fucking minute of it, sitting alone in a strange hotel room in a strange neighborhood, flicking through the TV channels to find something in English and wondering if I should risk trying to fathom out how to use the trouser press. Not to mention the tossing and turning at night over the stress of unachievable sales targets.</p>\n<p>Since then, I see globe-trotting business people in a totally different light. I don\'t feel an ounce of jealousy. Sympathy yes: jealousy, no.</p>\n<h3>Wednesday 23rd September</h3>\n<p>I\'m determined to ease myself in gently. Today is all about taking things at a nice sedate pace. I\'ve made the mistake in past years of trying to do too much on that first day back. Whether it be lunch with relatives or evening drinks with old friends, eventually the dreaded jetlag will catch up on you. It always does. Better to not make any appointments at all and just enjoy your own company for a while.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So it\'s a day of shopping, well, a half-day at least. After a fine sausage and bacon cob from the local bakery, I catch the local train just one stop into Sutton Coldfield. I love train travel in the UK, especially once the rush hour is over and you have a whole station to yourself. The staff in the ticket office greet you with enthusiastic good mornings, and when the train arrives (bang on time) it\'s warm and spotlessly clean. I can never understand why the British complain about its train system so much. It\'s still as good as anything I\'ve seen in the world.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The Gracechurch Shopping Centre in Sutton Coldfield has seen better days. Like many suburban shopping centres around the country, it\'s suffered in recent times through the loss of some of its high street retail giants (Woolworths being just one example) but it\'s hanging on in there. Despite a prevalence of charity shops, Poundlands and low-end supermarket chains like Aldi and Lidl, it still boasts some of the big boys such as WH Smith, Boots and Marks and Spencers - all of them noticeably quiet on a grey Wednesday morning. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>My first port of call, as always, is the Sutton branch of Three Mobile, who do an excellent pay-as-you-go sim card package with unlimited internet usage and phone calls for just twenty pounds. It\'s a perfect package for folks like me who aren\'t interested in &nbsp;direct debit contracts and all that palaver but simply want to check e-mails and post updates to Facebook for a couple of weeks. So in no time at all, I\'m connected with the world again!</p>\n<p>Clothes-wise I\'ve travelled fairly light, so I wander into Next for Men to pick up half a dozen plain t-shirts. I had intended to buy a couple of pairs of jeans as well but Next didn\'t offer anything beyond slim, skinny, ultra-skinny and the next cut where I think staff just paint-spray your legs blue. Even the straight leg jeans are really designed for a much younger man but I trudge to the changing room, squeeze myself into a pair and then look in the mirror and laugh at how ridiculous I look. \"Just the t-shirts thank you\"</p>\n<p>It was Chicken Club Wednesday at The Bishop Vesey, a Wetherspoons pub in Boldmere, where I decided to have lunch. For those of you not familiar with the UK, Wetherspoons is a huge British pub chain. There might well be a Wetherspoons on the high street of virtually every city and town in England. In many ways they are the Tesco of the pub world. When an independent pub closes down (as they do with alarming regularity these days) there\'s a fair chance that Wetherspoons will take the premises over. It\'s nigh on impossible for anyone to compete with Wetherspoons. They buy stocks of food and drink in incredible bulk and offer eaters and drinkers the best deals in town.</p>\n<p>I had a piri-piri chicken breast fillet with chips, salad AND a pint of beer for less than 7 pounds. The meal wasn\'t particularly memorable but it filled a gap and sometimes that\'s all you\'re looking for. &nbsp;Wetherspoons knows its market - and even at three in the afternoon, The Bishop Vesey is full of white van men (the slang term for self employed tradespeople such as builders and plumbers) all supping pints of ale and taking advantage of the buy-one-get-one free happy hours.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The evening is spent just sitting and chewing the fat with my brother and his partner. It\'s good to catch up on what\'s happened in our lives since we last met 12 months ago. &nbsp;I manage to last until ten \'o\' clock and decide that that\'s enough for the first day. I climb into the guest bed and I\'m fast asleep in seconds.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Thursday 24th September</h3>\n<p>I wait until the morning rush hour is over and catch the train into Birmingham City Centre. Except no self-respecting Brummie ever refers to it as \'the city centre\'. To us it\'s \"to go up town\" or \"I\'m gewin up town\". That\'s the way it\'s always been.</p>\n<p>I\'m most eager to see New Street, Birmingham\'s major train station, which has recently undergone a major re-development and had millions of pounds lavished upon it. Anyone who has travelled across England by train will have probably gone through Birmingham New Street at one time or another - and the memories will probably be unpleasant ones. For decades it\'s been a dark, dank subterranean cavern of platforms and ongoing construction work, staffed by jobsworths who didn\'t give a shit. But time has caught up with New Street and I suppose the public demanded something more befitting of a second city transport hub. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Today is the official opening day and the station is a hive of activity. Police, security staff and events planners are buzzing around and chatting on walkie-talkies. Joe public are also present in great number, standing arms akimbo and nodding appreciatively or taking photos on smartphones. New Street certainly looks impressive. It\'s become a combination of train station and shopping mall with an enviable selection of international restaurants to boot.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>On my annual trips back to the UK I rarely venture into the city centre. Truth be told, I fell out of love with it a long time ago.</p>\n<p>Back in the 80\'s, when I was a serial pubber and clubber, the city centre was the only place to be. You had thousands of young people, dressed up to the nines and all out to have a good time - especially on a Friday and Saturday night. \'Posing\' and being seen was the name of the game. There was only ever a moderate police presence and there was rarely any trouble to speak of. But the good times didn\'t last and in the 90\'s the city centre rather lost its way thanks to cheap booze and an increase in anti-social behaviour.</p>\n<p>But today the city centre feels like a place rejuvenated and I like the direction it seems to be heading in. For the first time in decades, the city actually has an \'international feel\'. Not only can Brummies be proud of their gleaming new train station but in the future, there will be a HS2 high-speed train link between Birmingham and London that will whisk commuters to the capital in an unbelievable 49 minutes at speeds of 250 miles an hour.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip6.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>There\'s already talk of Birmingham eventually becoming a \'satellite city\' for well-heeled business people who can work in their London offices but take advantage of Birmingham\'s cheaper housing.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>There\'s no doubt about it. These are exciting and prosperous times for Birmingham. The city has got its eye firmly on the future.</p>\n<p>There are two other reasons why the city felt a much more agreeable place to walk around. Firstly, there was a noticeable absence of \'chuggers\' (charity muggers) - those painfully cheerful folks who accost you in the street and try to get you to sign up for regular charity donations via direct debit, for which of course they earn a commission.</p>\n<p>I am unfortunately a charity mugger\'s dream. I get stopped by them all. I remember one year plucking up the courage to ask a young female chugger in Shrewsbury why I seemed to be such a prime target for these guys. \"it\'s because you have such a kind face\" she replied. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And secondly, there were no sinister-looking groups of jobless East Europeans, hanging around in shop doorways and passing the time by wolf-whistling at pretty, female passers-by.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Yes, I think it\'s fair to say that today I felt proud to be a Brummie!</p>\n<h3>Friday 25th September</h3>\n<p>Today is a busy day for the Williams clan. It\'s my Aunt Jean\'s 60th birthday and it\'s going to be a day of eating, drinking and making merry. Jean is the younger of my father\'s two sisters and the only one still living in England. The older sister Ann, emigrated to America some 20 years ago and apart from the odd e-mail exchange, there\'s been very little communication.</p>\n<p>I always make time for my &lsquo;Auntie Jean\' when I\'m back in England. She\'s the kindest, most generous and most thoughtful person you could meet. Even though I live on the other side of the world, she never misses a birthday or Christmas card and she was extremely good to me when I was a small boy.</p>\n<p>Jean was probably no more than a teenager herself but on many a Saturday she would drag me around every trendy clothes shop in Birmingham. Not something I was particularly enthusiastic about but every time my spirits flagged, Auntie Jean would ply me with as much candy and fizzy pop as I could stomach. To a seven-year-old, it was a most agreeable arrangement.</p>\n<p>Today also gives me the opportunity to catch up with Jean\'s two daughters - Katie and Laura. I think that &lsquo;daughters of my aunt\' makes them my cousins doesn\'t it? - but like most men, I\'m hopeless when it comes to describing the parts of a family tree beyond parents and siblings.</p>\n<p>But undoubtedly one of the saddest aspects of being so &lsquo;geographically challenged\' is that you miss out on family members growing up. Katie and Laura are both now heading for their thirties and sometimes I still feel like I hardly know them. One moment they were a couple of giggly teenage schoolgirls - all puppy fat and Spice Girls posters - and the next minute they had blossomed into fine young women with careers and long-term relationships. Oh where did all those years go?</p>\n<p>But to bring you up to speed, after finishing college, Laura moved from Birmingham to London for several years where she worked for Burberry Fashion House and became very much &lsquo;the big city girl\'. Then she jacked in the nine to five to go on a journey of self-discovery and ended up in Australia, where she met and fell in love with a big, butch Aussie naval engineer (as you do)</p>\n<p>Laura adores her life down under and I can\'t ever see her returning to live in the UK. Like me, she\'s found a better life in a faraway land. But she\'s made the long journey home for her mom\'s 60th birthday celebrations.</p>\n<p>After years of study, the other daughter Katie has qualified as a doctor specializing in children\'s nutrition. She\'s intelligent, beautiful and has an incredible future ahead of her. She\'s also the first member of the Williams family to become a doctor and needless to say, we\'re all tremendously proud of her.</p>\n<p>Katie has made the considerably shorter journey up from London to join the party today. I\'m so looking forward to seeing Auntie Jean and &lsquo;the girls\' again. There\'s always so much lost time to catch up on.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip8.jpg\" width=\"1350\" /></p>\n<p>For lunch, we\'ve reserved a table at The Plough in Harborne - which is definitely one of Birmingham\'s more affluent suburbs. The Plough is what I think is defined as a \'gastro pub\'. I\'m not sure what that involves other than to give the restaurant a licence to serve food on wooden boards and charge the earth for everything on the menu. The eye-watering prices clearly aren\'t putting off the punters though. It\'s full of Harborne \'yummy mummies\' trying to keep their designer toddlers amused while they get pissed on the house white.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The Plough isn\'t really my scene but Auntie Jean enjoying her birthday bash is the main objective and that box gets well and truly ticked. She\'s surrounded by friends and family and there are balloons and bunting and a mountain of cards and presents to open - only going to show just how popular and highly thought of she is. Auntie Jean looks very happy.</p>\n<p>In the evening, a smaller and more select group of family members all find room for a splendid Indian curry. Now this <em>is</em> my thing! Mouthfuls of spicy chicken balti scooped up with chunks of fluffy naan bread. This is food as it\'s meant to be.</p>\n<p>I end the day by giving my belly a pat. There will have to be some serious ab crunch sessions in the gym when I return to Thailand in about twelve days time. I feel like I\'ve gained ten kilograms already. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Saturday 26th September</h3>\n<p>After yesterday\'s exertions, I\'m thinking of taking today at a more genteel pace but the sun is shining and there\'s barely a cloud in the sky. It\'s not a day for staying indoors and just lounging on the sofa in front of Sky Sports (as much as that appeals to me)</p>\n<p>The first port of call becomes the enormous Tesco supermarket at New Oscott. I need to change some leftover Euros into Pound Sterling (leftover from last year\'s trip to Northern Spain when I grossly over-budgeted) but more importantly, to do some food shopping for my Mom and Dad.</p>\n<p>My brother and I are off to Spain on Monday morning to see our parents and it\'s an opportunity for us to treat them to some of the \'tastes of home\' - the foodstuffs they either can\'t buy there or are ridiculously expensive.</p>\n<p>So Paul and I dart up and down the supermarket aisles and fill a large shopping trolley with all those UK favourites - Typhoo tea-bags, Ovaltine, Colman\'s sauce mixes, tins of red salmon, corned beef, Cadbury\'s chocolate bars and other goodies too numerous to mention.</p>\n<p>At the checkout, I survey the small mountain of food and we congratulate ourselves on a job well done. It gives me a nice, warm feeling to carry all that stuff over to Spain because I know how much our folks appreciate it.</p>\n<p>I can\'t leave though without commenting on just how mind-blowing the selection of food has become in the average UK supermarket. Is it any wonder there are so many obese British waddling up and down the aisles when there are so many temptations? You can even buy pre-cooked and frozen baked potatoes. Just stick \'em in the microwave but lose none of that conventional oven-baked taste.</p>\n<p>I started to think about how convenient supermarket shopping had become. Tesco has self-service checkouts, on-line delivery and pick-up points where you can call ahead and collect your shopping at a designated point. In other words a Tesco employee traipses around the acres of floor space and does your shopping for you! &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>But this is how life has become in the UK. If you have a computer and an internet connection, there\'s almost no need to leave the house. Doing your shopping on-line is just the start. You name it, everyone I\'ve spoken to so far seems to order stuff like clothes movies, games and furniture over the net. My brother told me he even pays his window-cleaner on-line. The future is crazy. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, I passed a pleasant few hours with my brother and his partner in a sunny Sutton Park. I can never comprehend just how large Sutton Park is but it covers over 2,000 acres and is the seventh largest urban park in Europe and the second largest park outside of a capital city. And it\'s right on my brother\'s doorstep! How I envy him because it\'s a wonderful place to go jogging, walking or to just enjoy the great outdoors.</p>\n<h3>Sunday 27th September</h3>\n<p>Of all the things I miss most about life in the UK, Sunday league football is near the top of the list. I never played all that often but I was an avid watcher from the touchline.</p>\n<p>I loved every aspect of Sunday morning amateur football. It invariably started with a convoy of MOT failures pulling into the car park fifteen minutes before kick off. Then there was the sight of twelve bleary-eyed men, looking as though they had just come straight from the pub, struggling to find twelve matching football shirts. Finally, the realisation that the match referee had been told the wrong location and was now lost on the other side of Birmingham. Sometimes it was a wonder the match got started at all.</p>\n<p>But despite all these obstacles that the players had to overcome, once the game did start, it was always fiercely competitive.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip9.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>The game I watched this morning was no different - except the players were all ten years old and under and one team included my little nephew Joe. This was my first chance to see him play in a proper, organised game.</p>\n<p>I stood on the touchline with a small bunch of enthusiastic and vocal parents and together we cheered on two teams of young lads - all dreaming of being the next Messi or Ronaldho. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Joe\'s team lost 10-0 but despite the scoreline, they gave a good account of themselves. The opposing team were a little older, physically bigger and had been training together for longer. The result was not entirely unexpected.</p>\n<p>However, despite a thrashing, Joe pulled off some terrific saves in the goalkeeper\'s jersey and deservedly earned a few pats on the back at the final whistle, including a hearty well done from the manager. I was pleased for him.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, the weather was glorious - so we all went for a walk around Lichfield, which is a quaint cathedral city about 15 miles from Birmingham. In the past, no trip home was ever complete without spending a couple of hours in Lichfield but the last time I went, several years ago, it was a huge disappointment. Despite the cathedral and historic buildings looking as magnificent as ever, the high street and shopping centre appeared tired and worn out. Many of the cafes and quirkier retail outlets had closed down or were boarded up completely.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip10.jpg\" width=\"1450\" /></p>\n<p>So it was encouraging to see that Lichfield was enjoying something of an economic renaissance. Well-known department store Debenhams had opened a new branch at one end of the shopping centre and this had clearly had a positive effect. The cash registers were ringing again and Lichfield was well and truly back on the map</p>\n<h3>Monday 28th September</h3>\n<p>3.30 in the morning and my brother and I are sipping coffee in his back garden.</p>\n<p>Neither of us makes much in the way of conversation but who knows what to talk about at such an ungodly hour? We have a 6.30 flight to Alicante in Spain and the taxi is coming in half an hour.</p>\n<p>Birmingham Airport is chaos! There are long lines at the check-in and passengers are glancing nervously at watches. Getting through airport security is also a long and stressful process.</p>\n<p>If a bunch of highly-paid executives are thinking of getting around a table to discuss the cause of Birmingham Airport\'s problems, then let me save you the bother. Too many passengers on too many low-cost flights taking off in too short a time period. You\'re welcome.</p>\n<p>But seriously, I wonder how much revenue Birmingham Airport loses by making passengers spend hours checking instead of allowing them time to browse in the duty free shops or order food in restaurants, etc? It sounds like business suicide to me.</p>\n<p>We make the plane with just twenty minutes to spare and take our seats among the Benidorm hen parties (in high spirits) and the old age pensioners (blocking up the aisle and taking forever to put their bags in the overhead bins)</p>\n<p>The chief stewardesses both have unnaturally orange-coloured skin and are both called Kelly. They perform an unenthusiastic saftey demo (which no one watches) and eventually we\'re up in the clouds. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We arrive in Alicante ten minutes ahead of schedule, collect our luggage and make our way to the arrivals hall where Mom and Dad are waiting. It\'s good to see them again. Even though we talk regularly on Skype, it can never take the place of the warmth and love of a mother\'s hug.</p>\n<p>Dad looks well. A little tired and pale, but surprisingly chipper for a man who has recently had a fifth operation to remove a tumour. As the day progresses, the colour returns to his cheeks and he begins to look ten years younger. I think our arrival has done him good. At least he now has someone to talk about football with.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the evening, we all enjoy a reunion dinner of wine and tapas in a nearby village before crawling to bed about 10pm. We\'ve had enough excitement for one day.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Tuesday 29th September</h3>\n<p>When it comes to owning a computer and being connected to the world via the internet, I guess you could say my Mom was late to the party. Although she had craved an internet connection for many years, there seemed little chance of ever receiving a wi-fi signal in her tiny Spanish village&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But a couple of years ago, things started looking up. Some trees got chopped down (or did a mountain get moved?) - and suddenly El Fondo stepped into the 21st century. Mom and I could chat to each other on Skype. We could share photos on Facebook. A whole new world opened up.</p>\n<p>They say you can\'t teach an old dog new tricks - and it was certainly a steep learning curve - but the way Mom has mastered a computer has astounded us all. Sometimes, with me in Thailand and Mom in Spain, trying to explain folders, hyperlinks and toolbars via a Skype connection pushed us to the limits of our patience - but we got there in the end.</p>\n<p>However, there are some things that can only be done face to face - like replacing the ink cartridges in a printer for example. So part of the morning was spent in the IT section of a local hypermarket, looking for replacements. Hopefully Mom can do this herself next time.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip11.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>For lunch we had a menu del dia (the menu of the day) at a local restaurant run by twin brothers from Uruguay. We\'ve been to \'Restaurante Oasis\' in Pinoso many times. It\'s a great favourite among the local expat community, not just because the place serves great food at reasonable prices, but their customer service is second to none. The Uruguayan brothers greet every customer like an old friend. Every diner is made to feel special.</p>\n<p>Most restaurants in Spain offer a \'menu del dia\' - a cheap or \'cheapish\' three-course lunch, which is often subsidized by the Spanish government to ensure that working-class folk (particularly farmers and labourers) always have the opportunity to eat one decent, square meal.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It\'s a splendid idea but the quality of the menu del dia varies greatly from restaurant to restaurant. But at Oasis, it\'s always top notch. You get a choice of starters including soups and cold meats, a selection of main courses (pork, chicken, fish) and a tasty choice of desserts. Plus as much salad, bread and wine as you need. Oh, and a coffee to finish. And you get all that for just 9 Euros! It\'s an unbelievable bargain.</p>\n<p>The cost of dining out has increased the world over, but eating out in Spain is still tremendous value for money. I mentioned the tapas and wine that we enjoyed on our first evening. The bill came to 16 Euros for four of us - for plenty of wine and plenty of tapas.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Wednesday 30th September</h3>\n<p>The weather in Spain at this time of year is always unpredictable, Summer is over and the darker nights are drawing in. When I came last year for six days, it was nothing but grey skies and rain for the entire duration. But today is glorious. It\'s very much \'t-shirt and shorts\' weather so my brother and I drive into nearby Monovar with a plan to mooch around the old town, photograph a few churches and perhaps enjoy a \'cafe con leche\' at a pavement cafe. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Monovar is one of many good-size Spanish towns in the Alicante Province. It\'s a nice enough place to walk around in a \'thank you God for not making me live there\' kind of way. Even at 10.30 in the morning, the streets are deserted and half of the shops are still closed and shuttered. We search for a town centre where perhaps there might be a fountain, a park, a town square, a selection of bakery shops and cafes. Eventually after walking in circles and going past the same church six times, we come to the conclusion that Monovar doesn\'t actually have a centre. What you see is what you get.</p>\n<p>I think Spain is a wonderful choice of country for an expat to retire to but the pace of life is far too slow for me. Shops often open late in the morning and when the business day should be in full swing, the shopkeepers all decide to close in the afternoon for a siesta. And once again it becomes a ghost town. How is anyone open long enough to make any money?</p>\n<p>But the Spanish love it this way. They are creatures of habit and fiercely proud of their culture and traditions. As long as there\'s a free table at the cafe where they can drink, smoke, chat with friends and watch the world go by, they\'re by and large content. Life is not something to be rushed.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip12.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>For lunch, Mom and Dad treat us to a tapas taster menu at the rather swanky La Romana Spa and Hotel. Don\'t be fooled by the dusty dirt-track that cuts across farmland to the entrance. The spa and hotel complex is five-star luxury - certainly for this part of the world.</p>\n<p>Both the food and service are superb and it\'s a pleasant change to converse with a waitress who speaks fluent English. I lose count of the number of courses but they include lamb in filo pastry parcels, crepe triangles with Serrano ham and deep-fried crispy rabbit. The dishes are all beautifully presented and I\'m not sure if the prices keep out the riff-raff but we are the only ones enjoying lunch. Maybe everyone else was being pampered in the spa rooms? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>With two hours of daylight remaining, my brother suggested \'a nice afternoon walk\' - \"just a couple of miles through some of the local vineyards, on to the main road and back to the village\" he said.</p>\n<p>It didn\'t turn out to be one of his better ideas. We set off hopelessly underprepared with no water and no sense of direction. We walked through several hamlets where the locals stared and dogs barked and threatened to chew our legs off if only they could get out of their cages. I seriously began to wonder if we were going to get out of this alive. We\'d also lost sight of the main road that was our route back to civilization.</p>\n<p>Eventually we got lucky and stumbled upon a tractor track, which led to a paved road, which led us back to the main highway. The ordeal was over - but we arrived back in the village feeling parched and exhausted. A gentle afternoon stroll had almost turned into a ten-mile fight for survival. I\'d never been happier to see my parents\' house. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Thursday 1st October</h3>\n<p>We took advantage of another glorious sunny morning to tick off a couple of local towns. Firstly Sax, which is notable for its archeological findings and attractive 11th century castle. I had walked or driven up to the castle several times in the past and didn\'t really fancy it again, but I\'m always up for a browse and a rummage in a charity shop - and there is a fine Red Cross charity shop in the city centre run by two friendly retired ladies, who judging by their accents both hail from the north of England.</p>\n<p>On the same street is the Spanish equivalent of Cash Converters - an Aladdin\'s cave of electrical appliances and assorted nic-nacs and bric-a-brac. Spanish people looking to make a bit of extra gambling money can take in their microwave, old guitar, grandmother\'s spinning wheel, etc and the item is displayed in the shop at a price agreed between seller and shopkeeper. If or when the goods are sold, the shop takes a 20% commission. It sounds like a nice little business if you can put up with people calling you all day long and asking if you\'ve sold their mother\'s wig and wedding ring yet? &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the afternoon, my brother and I drive into Pinoso for a couple of light ales. We like Pinoso. It\'s more vibrant than other towns in the Alicante province and has a sizeable expat community.</p>\n<p>We always frequent the same bar - possibly because it\'s the only one open during the siesta hours. It\'s run by an English couple who have zero customer service skills and no business nous whatsoever - but they are typical of many British expats who have chased the Spanish dream and a new life in the sun, only to end up eking out a living - in this case, running a bar that\'s reliant on a handful of hardcore regulars and borderline alcoholics. And the odd once-a-year visitors like us.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But there obviously isn\'t enough profit to be made on sales of alcohol so most of the bar has now been turned into a strange sort of convenience store / corner shop for homesick expats. Packets of Wagon Wheels and McVities Cholcolate Digestives jostle for shelf space with Colman\'s mustard and jars of Patak curry sauces. None of it fastidiously arranged but unlovingly plonked down wherever it fits.</p>\n<p>It all smacks of a last desperate attempt to earn enough to pay the bills and avoid returning to the Boltons and Burnleys with the Spanish dream in tatters. But there are now so many British expats in that same boat. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But to brighter things and one of the highlights of our Spanish break - Carmen Del Campillo, just outside Crevillente and often referred to as \'The Moroccan Secret Garden\'. Mom and Dad had been promising to take me here for years. Every visitor they have brought here has fallen in love with Carmen Del Camillo - and it truly is unique. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The Secret Garden is very hard to find. There are no signposts or arrows pointing the way. You hear about it by word of mouth or you are taken there by a friend. The last thing the Moroccan owners want is to start getting favorable reviews on Trip Advisor. &nbsp;It\'s a place to meditate, a place to clear the mind. Or somewhere for a special date perhaps.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip13.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>After being free to wander around the outside gardens and fountains, you ring a bell and are greeted at the gate by an elderly man in traditional Moroccan dress. From there you are free to explore the incredible labyrinth of candle-lit paths, exotic vegetation, secret rooms and bedouin tents that comprise The Secret Garden.</p>\n<p>Conversations are hushed. Comments are whispered. For once it\'s a place where every visitor respects the desire for peace and reflection.</p>\n<p>The six Euro per person entrance fee (which you actually pay on the way out) entitles you to one free drink from an extensive list of fruit teas. The Secret Garden is such a worthwhile experience. But what a pity that the staff are so miserable!&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Friday 2nd October</h3>\n<p>Even though my parents are the only expats living in their remote Spanish village, they have a terrific support network of other British retirees living in the area. And they all look out for each other.</p>\n<p>It\'s always a great comfort for me to know that should either mom or dad suddenly be taken ill or perhaps hospitalized for a lengthy period of time, there will always be someone to lend a helping hand.</p>\n<p>There have been times over the past few years when my parents have needed a lift to the doctor\'s surgery, an airport pick-up or maybe just a friendly face to sit and chat with them at a hospital bedside. Thankfully  there is never a shortage of volunteers, so I welcome the chance to meet any of the &lsquo;expat gang\' face-to-face and say thank you, albeit indirectly, for being there in times of need - people such as John Sharpley and his charming wife Barbara.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip14.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>John and Barbara have invited us over for morning coffee at their beautiful Monovar home. Both are extremely well-travelled with plenty of stories to tell but what I\'ve really come to see is John\'s collection of movie memorabilia.  Framed photographs of Hollywood stars line the walls. There\'s even a life-size cardboard cut-out of Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade.  But in a corner of the living room is John\'s pride and joy - an original, fully-functioning  replica of the American jukebox used in the film &lsquo;Ghost\' starring Patrick Swayzee and Demi Moore.</p>\n<p>To any music lover, it\'s a thing of exceptional beauty and John is clearly a fan of late 50\'s America - the great Rock &lsquo;n\' Roll era.</p>\n<p>\"Oh to be a teenager growing up during that period\" says John, \"America must have been the greatest place in the world at the greatest time in history\"</p>\n<p>After a pleasant couple of hours chatting to John and cooing over his jukebox, we return to El Fondo. A Spanish neighbor has turned up and makes a beeline as we all get out of the car.</p>\n<p>Jo no longer lives in the village but she\'s here to give her &lsquo;second home\' its monthly dust and polish. I haven\'t seen Jo for several years but she remembers me and is eager to greet me in the traditional Spanish way.</p>\n<p>Run for the hills!  - it\'s the dreaded kiss on both cheeks. The British are simply hopeless at it. We\'ve barely mastered the handshake. How are we supposed to cope with kissing a relative stranger?</p>\n<p>There are just so many things that can go wrong with the traditional Spanish greeting, as I ably demonstrate when I attempt to kiss Jo\'s left cheek as she tries to do exactly the same to me. Jo tilts her head quickly to the other side to minimize the embarrassment but somehow I end up giving her a head-butt. Perhaps it\'s best if I stick to shaking hands - or just stay indoors and avoid any social contact at all?</p>\n<p>In the evening, all roads lead to The Village Tavern in La Romana. On Friday nights, they do a fish, chips and mushy peas special. So the evening is passed eating a good old British meal in a good old British pub. I think I\'m allowed such a divulgence because it\'s my last night in Spain. Back to England tomorrow!</p>\n<h3>Saturday 3rd October</h3>\n<p>We rise early for breakfast because we want to make the most of our last day together. But even though my brother and I don\'t need to be at Alicante Airport until four in the afternoon, there\'s that heaviness in the air that always accompanies a day when family members have to part company for another year.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip15.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>We spend the morning looking around the magnificent Castilla de la Mole in Novelda before enjoying a final &lsquo;menu del dia\' - our last meal together.</p>\n<p>Time begins to go fast. Too fast. And suddenly we are saying our goodbyes in front of Alicante\'s main terminal. Is there anything worse than those airport goodbyes? I try to hold it together but mom and dad both become emotional and I realize there\'s little point trying to put on a brave face.</p>\n<p>The two and a half hour flight back to Birmingham passes without incident. Well, apart from Birmingham Airport being its usual ridiculously slow self when it comes to delivering passenger baggage from aircraft to carousel. Sort it out guys!</p>\n<h3>Monday 5th October</h3>\n<p>Yesterday was very much a family day -  Sunday lunch, a walk around the park with an ice cream - and some shopping in Marks and Spencers.</p>\n<p>My wife (as she always does God bless her) had sent me on a specific errand to buy two packs of plain black ladies knickers. She\'s extremely fond of her M&amp;S lingerie you see.</p>\n<p>So armed only with a photograph on my mobile phone of the particular cut of knickers that my wife wanted, I looked for a kindly shop assistant to both assist me and get me the hell out of the women\'s underwear department as quickly as possible. Well, I found just the right person. Not only did she direct me to where the goods were displayed but she held up a pair so I could take pictures and text them to my wife who was on-line in Thailand.</p>\n<p>So if you were in the Marks and Spencer\'s lingerie section in Sutton Coldfield at twenty minutes past one on Sunday afternoon and saw a member of staff holding up little black ladies panties as a middle-aged man took photos - it was me!</p>\n<p>It\'s a horrible drizzly English Monday morning - virtually the first rain I\'ve seen since I got here - but I don\'t care that much because I\'m excited about today. I\'ve got my travel hat on again and I\'m taking the train up to Yorkshire to see a good friend who has recently settled in the village of Burley-in-Wharfedale with his Thai wife - after living for 15 years in Thailand!</p>\n<p>I\'m eager to see how he\'s getting on and how quickly he\'s adapted to the English way of life after being away for so long.</p>\n<p>I\'m at New Street Station an hour before the train arrives (there goes that &lsquo;early airport person\' again) so I kill twenty minutes in a station caf&eacute; and take out a second mortgage to buy a sausage and bacon cob and a hot chocolate. Then I stand on the platform (because there are no seats) and await the train to Ilkley in South Yorkshire. I always feel a tingle of excitement when I look at the departure boards and see all those destinations I could be catching a train to - Plymouth, York, Edinburgh, Macclesfield. I could spend the rest of my life just going up and down the length of the country on the brilliant, albeit pricy British railway network.</p>\n<p>I change trains at Leeds and realize it\'s the first time I\'ve ever set foot in the city. If it\'s anything as grim as its train station, then I\'m probably not missing much.</p>\n<p>Eventually the train pulls into Ilkley and my friend and his wife are already on the platform to meet me. Maem is dressed in an enormous parka. She\'s already feeling the cold. I ask her about the one thing she misses most about Bangkok. \"The hot weather\" she replies. I haven\'t got the heart to tell her how cold it will get in January and February.</p>\n<p>We go for lunch at a completely empty Wetherspoons type pub and order hamburgers, chicken tikka and a cheeky round of alcoholic drinks. This is always a mistake on my part. I\'m possibly the world\'s most pathetic daytime drinker. One pint of bitter shandy and I\'m ready for an afternoon nap.</p>\n<p>But there\'s no time for sleeping because my friend has got shit to show me. We start with the house in Burley which he\'s recently purchased. The house needs a lot of work doing but has enormous potential with tidy gardens and on a clear day, a nice view of the Yorkshire moors. I\'m sure once the work is all completed, they\'ll be very happy there.</p>\n<p>We pick up my friend\'s son from school and then I pop in to say hello to his mother. I\'ve met her once before - in Bangkok several years ago - and she\'s an interesting lady. She\'s an ultra-strict vegetarian and also forms one half of a folk music duo, who write all their own songs and play local pubs and folk clubs in the Yorkshire area.  When I arrive at the house, both she and her male partner are performing in the bedroom (I\'ll revisit that sentence later) and the strains of \"Oh where is my raggle taggle gypsy\" and \"my love\'s gone away to sea\" are filtering down the stairs.</p>\n<p>My friend\'s mother also lives in one of the &lsquo;roughest parts of Bradford\' - the suburb of Manningham. At least that\'s how my friend has built it up. It doesn\'t look the slightest bit rough to me though. I live in Samut Prakarn, East Bangkok. I&lsquo;ll decide what the definition of &lsquo;rough\' is.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip16.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>To a true crime fanatic like me, no trip to Manningham in Bradford is complete without a walk down Garden Lane, to specifically number six and the imposing detached house that in the 1970s belonged to Peter Sutcliffe - better known as The Yorkshire Ripper.</p>\n<p>I snatch a quick photo of the property. This is no time for selfies. The house has to be captured alone in a single photo - silent and brooding. The keeper of lord knows how many dark secrets.</p>\n<p>We drive around on a little mini-tour of Bradford. It\'s a city I\'ve always wanted to visit probably out of morbid curiosity more than anything else. We stop off for a photo in front of Valley Parade, the home of Bradford City Football Club and enjoy half a pint of bitter in The Bradford Arms pub on Manningham Lane - once one of The Yorkshire Ripper\'s favorite watering holes. It\'s one of the most run-down and depressing pubs I\'ve ever been in and a handful of weathered locals eye us up suspiciously - but the atmosphere is electric.</p>\n<p>We finish the night at The Kashmir Restaurant on the other side of the city - one of Bradford\'s original Indian curry houses. It\'s been around for years but it retains all the original old school charm. There are laminated menus that are greasy to the touch, there are old chairs stacked in the gents toilets and our table-top could do with a fucking good wipe, but the chicken dupiaza, the onion pakoras and the mango lassi are as good as any I\'ve tasted. And the food is cheap.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Tuesday 6th October</h3>\n<p>I had booked a one-night stay at The Crescent Inn in Ilkley for probably two reasons. Firstly, it was only 300 metres from the train station and secondly, it scores an average of over nine on booking dot com.</p>\n<p>My expectations were high and The Crescent truly lived up to them. The room was well-appointed with plenty of wardrobe space, a modern bathroom, a strong wi-fi signal and two packets of tasty biscuits on the hospitality tray (that\'s generally enough to keep me happy). The staff were friendly to a level well beyond the call of duty and the full English breakfast (included in the room rate) could barely fit on the largest of plates. Look out for another good Trip Advisor review is all I can say.</p>\n<p>I rose early to eat breakfast and settle the room bill so I could spend a couple of hours exploring Ilkley itself. It really is the prettiest of northern towns, as good as anything I\'ve been to in The Lake District or Derbyshire Dales and I can give it no greater accolade than that.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/uktrip17.jpg\" width=\"1480\" /></p>\n<p>I walked street after street, all crammed with quaint tea shops and gift shops with immaculate window displays and past small parks and memorial gardens, their rows of plants and flowers trimmed to perfection. The whole town was a blaze of early Autumn colour.</p>\n<p>But something  suddenly hits you after about thirty minutes of walking - more so in a place as beautiful as Ilkley. The realization that you are alone and you are the single traveler. There is no one to share the moments and the experiences with. There is no one by your side to appreciate that centuries old stone church or that window display of tea cups and teddy bears. I contemplate how much my wife would enjoy being here and I\'m overwhelmed by a feeling of emptiness. The spirit of travel and adventure instantly starts to flag.</p>\n<p>I\'ve had this same discussion with many travelers on-line and personally I think solo travel sucks. Other travelers swear by going it alone but it\'s definitely not for me. The best moments in life are nearly always the ones shared with others, particularly loved ones.</p>\n<p>In a somber and reflective mood, I head back to the hotel earlier than I had planned, pack my bags, say my farewells to the staff who had taken such good care of me - and make my way to the station.</p>\n<p>When I reached Birmingham, it was chucking it down (to use a good Brummie expression) I took the local train out to Wylde Green and the rain got even heavier. Not quite the kind of monsoon downpour we get in Thailand but close enough. &nbsp;I knew taking a raincoat would turn out to be a good idea but I still got home with soaked jeans and sneakers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I had a few hours to dry off before one of the highlights of my England visit - the annual pilgrimage to Coles Lane, the home of my beloved Sutton Coldfield Football Club - a non-league football team I\'ve followed for a good number of years</p>\n<p>I\'ll resist the temptation to bore you with reams of football stuff but \'The Royals\' by some miracle, have now reached the dizzy heights of The Evostik Premier League. They are now just three levels below the actual English football league proper. It\'s an incredible achievement considering they survive on gates of barely 100-150 fans coming through the turnstiles and they pay their amateur playing staff in the region of 150 pounds a week. Many of the players have been on the books of larger professional clubs in the past but inevitably failed to make the grade. Now they are daytime plumbers and electricians and turn out for Sutton Coldfield on a part-time basis.</p>\n<p>I took my brother and one of his good friends along with me to the game and a great night was had by all. Sutton ran out 2-0 winners to further cement their excellent start to a season in a league where they are probably punching above their weight. Not only that but I got to meet the friendly Neil Morell, the gentleman who handles the football club\'s twitter account. Neil and I had communicated many times on-line and now he could put a name to the face and knowing I was a supporter living on the other side of the world, he insisted that we hang around at the end of the game to meet the team manager and share a beer in the social club. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Wednesday 7th October</h3>\n<p>My last day in the UK and it\'s another rainy, grey morning. I wouldn\'t want it any other way because it puts me into going home mode.</p>\n<p>I\'m not keen on \'final days\' at all. The airline have e-mailed me to say I can now check in on-line and to remind me not to put explosives in my suitcase. It feels as though I now have the task of killing 24 hours before the journey home begins.</p>\n<p>I start the day with a packing dummy run. I\'ve got that 46 kilo baggage allowance going back and I fully intend to abuse it. I buy enough chocolate and confectionery in Poundland to open my own shop. My wife has also requested scones and clotted cream so if you\'re in the Samut Prakarn area on Friday, you\'re most welcome to pop round for a cream tea.</p>\n<p>At midday, Auntie Jean drives over to Boldmere with Cousin Katie and the three of us enjoy a leisurely lunch in the local Wetherspoons pub. Our lunch date begins with an impromptu cabaret as two policemen arrive to eject a homeless alcoholic gentleman who has been sitting in the corner in a drunken stupor and is now starting to verbally abuse the customers around him.</p>\n<p>The vagrant is clearly well-known to the two officers and they politely give \'Tom the Drunk\' two chances to get up and leave quietly. &nbsp;Tom obviously isn\'t keen on the idea. The officers start putting on their blue disposal gloves and all the people in the pub start wondering if this could get nasty. Thankfully it doesn\'t - well, only for Tom. It takes the cops three seconds to grab an arm each, hoist Tom from his chair and open the swinging entrance doors with Tom\'s head.</p>\n<p>Later that afternoon, as I stroll up Boldmere High Street, I see Tom is horizontal and spark out on a bench in front of Greggs the Bakers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the evening, my brother and I stroll to The Horse and Jockey in Sutton Coldfield for a last beer. I ask to borrow one of his big coats because the temperature has plummeted to single figures and I\'m really feeling it. I grab a woolen scarf out of his winter rummage box to complete the outfit. Unbelieveably there are still customers walking into the pub dressed in t-shirts. But on the walk home, it feels like a day in January. I swear I\'ve got frostbite in my toes. Definitely time to go home.</p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the diary.&nbsp;</p>','','2015-10-06 07:42:49',1,'2015-10-06 07:42:49','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30378,20,'The highs and the lows of living and teaching in Thailand','the-highs-and-the-lows-of-living-and-teaching-in-thailand','Our survey said.........','To get an idea of exactly what teachers love and loathe about life in Thailand, we conducted a brief survey and with foreign teachers based in Chiang Mai.','<p>Living and teaching in Thailand is an incredible experience and that\'s probably why so many foreigners come to the country each year to teach English.</p>\n<p>Many new teachers are tempted to the kingdom by YouTube videos showcasing Thailand\'s tropical beaches, magnificent waterfalls, colourful festivals and raucous nightlife, but while these things do make life in Thailand &lsquo;amazing\', they\'re not the kind of things that teachers are able to appreciate on a daily basis.</p>\n<p>Furthermore anyone who has spent time dealing with the realities of life in a Thai school will soon tell you that the living here is not without its share of challenges.</p>\n<p>To get an idea of exactly what teachers love and loathe about life in Thailand, we conducted a brief survey and with foreign teachers based in Chiang Mai.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/dansurvey3.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Research methodology - how we did it</h3>\n<p>Thirty foreign teachers from Varee Chiangmai School were asked to write down the best three things and the worst three things about living and teaching in Thailand. The teachers who took part were from a range of countries including,  the UK, the US, Ireland, South Africa and Australia.</p>\n<p>The participants also ranged in age and experience from fresh-faced enthusiastic graduates to jaded veterans long past their prime.</p>\n<h3>Living and Teaching in Thailand - The Pros</h3>\n<p>There was a pretty clear consensus about what makes life in Thailand so good with the most popular answers being - friendly people and great food. Interestingly, the third most popular answer was great students, with many teachers commenting on how friendly and polite Thai students are.</p>\n<p>The quality of life in Thailand also featured high up the list of pros with natural scenery, Thai culture, Thai festivals and the climate also being popular answers.</p>\n<p>The graphic below ranks the most popular answer. The full report, <a href=\"https://www.scribd.com/doc/280599120/Living-Teaching-in-Thailand-Teacher-Survey\">which can be found here</a>&nbsp;has all the teachers\' replies including some rather random answers such as &lsquo;lack of feminists\'!</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/dansurvey1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Living and Teaching in Thailand - The Cons</h3>\n<p>There was also some common consensus on the greatest challenges for teachers living in Thailand, with the top two places going to road safety and immigration.</p>\n<p>It may be worth remembering that this survey was conducted in Chiang Mai where the roads are notoriously dangerous and the immigration department is..... well, I have to go there next month so let\'s just say it could be a lot better!</p>\n<p>General inefficiency was a big complaint from many teachers - this referred to situations both inside and outside the school grounds. The summer heat and poor air quality were other popular factors and anyone who has been to Chiang Mai during the burning season will know how bad the air quality gets.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, annoying expats (you know - the ones who spend all their time complaining and saying how much better everything is &lsquo;back home\') also made the list.</p>\n<p>Further down the list there were a few other random answers including - &lsquo;Thai people are too polite\'.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/dansurvey2.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Conclusions</h3>\n<p>While this is hardly scientific research, it does provide some useful insights to life in the Land of Smiles. For westerners contemplating a year or two living and working in Thailand, I\'d say &lsquo;just do it\'! It\'s great country, you\'ll met some great people, enjoy some awesome food and visit some beautiful places.... things won\'t always go according to plan, and there may be days when you just want to scream - but hey - that\'s life, and you probably couldn\'t truly appreciate Thailand without experiencing the ups and the downs.</p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Maxwell</strong><br />Varee Chiangmai School<br />www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2015-09-14 07:02:07',1,'2015-09-14 07:02:07','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30383,20,'Classroom management experiences','classroom-management-experiences','Experiences from both Thailand and China.','The Thai teachers at my school, especially the veterans, are uncomfortable with the excitement and commotion during the lessons by the foreign teachers.

','<p>The Thai teachers at my school, especially the veterans, are uncomfortable with the excitement and commotion during the lessons by the foreign teachers.  They view it as an inability to control our students.  Of course, we view it as involvement and participation.</p>\n<p>Last week, I let my students create and tell their own stories. The result is one of my most enjoyable and memorable classroom experiences - and an absolutely riotous atmosphere.</p>\n<p>When I opened the floor for stories, the first student to raise her hand told a traditional fairy tale story.  She talked about a princess and a castle and horse and various people and animals.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Well, the more of this story she told, the louder and harder the other students laughed, until surely their voices could be heard at the other end of the hall.  Turns out all the names in this story were the names of her classmates.</span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"><br /></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">She ended the story with the frog kissing the princess.  (No, not the princess kissing the frog.)  She had set the tone for the rest of the lesson.  Thus, every student started their story with, \"Once upon a time\" and ended it, \"And they all lived happily ever after.\"</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Another part of the lesson was group storytelling.  I would start the story, then each student would add a sentence.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I wrote, \"I went to the pet store and saw a dog.  The dog said to me...\"  They continued, \"Buy me and take me home.\"  \"Hey, you can\'t talk, you\'re only a dog.\"  From there, the dog would be a magic creature, the result of a lab experiment, or an alien.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">One of my students  -  not surprisingly the same one who would later set the classroom atmosphere on fire  -   was the first one to raise her hand (again, not surprisingly) and volunteer to move the story into the next phase.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">But she said, \"Then the dog bit my head off.\"  I replied, \"Wow, you just made this story really short.\"  So she tried another approach, \"Then the dog followed me to my school and bit everybody\'s heads off.\"  I thought, \"You have a career waiting for you as a horror writer.\"  I would soon discover she also had a career waiting for her as a comedian.</span></p>\n<p>If my students are practicing their language skills uninhibited and having fun, I view that as a positive.  But uninhibited should not mean unstructured.  It is the teacher\'s role to maintain this balance by preventing the students from slipping into silliness and anarchy.  Let them engage in their favorite activities, but provide them with meaningful curriculum and keep the lesson on track.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">That doesn\'t mean every lesson should resemble an hour on the playground.  The previous day, I had them choose a story from the textbook, stand up, and read the story aloud as I helped them with pronunciation.  No motion, no noise.  Just hope the Thai teachers who are particularly stuffy are there to witness the more traditional lessons.</span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span></p>\n<p>Most of my students in China were English majors and the majority of them were studying in teachers colleges.  After they graduated and started teaching, they would ask me for advice on how to control their students.  In China, class sizes are 50 plus, so classroom management is a major issue, especially for less experienced teachers.  I told them the story about \"The Teacher from Hell.\"</p>\n<p>My first job in China was in the most famous private school in Beijing.  One of the teachers in this school delayed my first lesson with her students because she was busy chewing on them.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t understand what she was saying, but I had a pretty good idea:  This was their first lesson with the school\'s newest foreign teacher, so they\'d better make a good impression on me or they\'d regret it.  She\'d call their parents or give them extra homework or stand them in the corner or send them to detention hall or whatever.</p>\n<p>It was obvious from the way she was carrying on that she dealt with the students in this manner on a regular basis.  And it was obvious from the looks on their faces that they were terrorfied of her.</p>\n<p>Even though she did not remain in the classroom with me, there were no behavior problems whatsoever.  Every face was aimed straight ahead, all eyes and ears were focused on what I was saying and writing, every brain was concentrating on the curriculum and the exercises.</p>\n<p>In other classes, I had a few or several students stand up and rehearse pronciation of the vocabulary.  But in this class, I was so surprised at how good their pronunciation was, I continued til every student had practiced.  Almost all of them pronounced every word flawlessly and confidently, whereas in other classes, the students stuggled.  They grasped, indeed mastered, the curriculum after one lesson, whereas other classes required an additional lesson or two of reinforcement.</p>\n<p>I asked my Chinese team teacher what was special about this class.  Did they have higher intelligence?  Did they have higher test scores?  Did they have private tutors?  Did they attend language institutes?  Did they have access to native speakers?  Had they lived abroad?  No, my team teacher told me, this class had the same background as every other student in the school.  It was their homeroom teacher who made the difference</p>\n<p>She was \"The Teacher from Hell.\"  She was not popular with her students.  But she maintained a standard of discipline and an academic standard.  Did I advise my former students to imitate \"The Teacher from Hell\"?  No, but I did point out to them that she got results.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to Thailand a couple of years ago.  My Thai teacher went to a meeting during one of my lessons.  When the cat\'s away, the mice come out to play.  They students started taking more liberties than usual.  A veteran teacher  -  one of the \"Teacher from Hell\" types, not on the kind, affectionate grandmother types  -  passed by my classroom and saw that the students were getting out of control.</p>\n<p>She took the worst offenders out into the hall, stood them at attention and scolded them while I went on with the lesson.</p>\n<p>Then I had to go to the bathroom.  On my way to the bathroom, I noticed she had them on their knees, faces down, palms on thighs.  It looked like a prison scene.</p>\n<p>Do I advise foreign teachers in Thailand to be as strict as this veteran Thai teacher?  No, but I do point out to them that however strict they are, they won\'t be near as strict at the Thai teachers.</p>\n<p>Hey, in Korea, my Korean team teachers would slap the children, grab them by the ear, and drag them to the principals\'s office...</p>\n<p><strong>Carl Slaughter</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2015-09-20 06:15:53',1,'2015-09-20 06:15:53','2015-09-20 20:08:54'),(30384,90,'Cheap and expensive in Bangkok','cheap-and-expensive-in-bangkok','What\'s a bargain and what costs an arm and a leg?','My friends and family back home sometimes ask me stupid questions about living in Thailand. However, one question which is interesting is, do you find everything in Thailand cheap?','<p>My friends and family back home sometimes ask me stupid questions about living in Thailand. A few people have actually asked if I can see elephants from my condo whilst countless others ask if I\'ve ever been fooled by a ladyboy. However, one question which is interesting is, do you find everything in Thailand cheap?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The short answer is no, not everything is, but it made me think about what is a bargain and what is expensive in Thailand when you live here.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>It\'s a Bargain!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Fresh fruit</strong> - At around 15 or 20 Baht a serving it\'s great for breakfast or a snack. Sellers with mobile carts are found on the busier streets or at markets. Fruit in the supermarket is reasonable but the carts offer the bonus of cutting and peeling your fruit for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Public transport</strong> - Buses, songthaews and vans are great value. From 6 to 40 Baht you can travel long distances. The MRT (subway) and BTS (sky train) are more expensive but when I compare the price to London I think they are still very cheap for the convenience they provide people travelling across Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Eating in midrange restaurants</strong> - I find the price of eating at midrange restaurants incredibly cheap and super value for money. I\'m not talking about street side dining or a eating atop a trendy hotel but the type you find with a garden area, live band and lots of places to take those all-important Facebook photos. Go with 3 friends and you can split 7 or 8 dishes and a few beers and you will pay around 400 - 600 Baht each. I used to think going to a good restaurant was a monthly treat back in the UK but now I can go a couple of times a week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Utility bills</strong> - If you live in a Condo or house you will pay your utility bills direct to the utility company. I live in a 64sq metre condo and spend 900 Baht a month on electricity, 150 Baht on water and 750 Baht for 20MB internet and basic TV. Add on 300 Baht a month for my phone and 600 for my Sports365 TV package and that\'s 2,700 Baht a month (about $75). Cut down the internet speed and take away the sports TV package and you\'re looking at around $50 a month. If you live in an apartment though it\'s likely you will pay to the management and they will add on extras and you\'ll pay much more.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wow That\'s Expensive!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Electronics</strong> - Phones and laptops break. You will probably buy a new TV at some point. Most phones operate on a pay as you go basis which means you have to buy the phone outright. The latest IPhone is 26,000 Baht - about the same as most European countries. A midlevel phone is around 12,000 Baht. A midlevel laptop is 15-18,000 Baht. Whilst these don\'t sound like huge amounts in your home country they are expensive if your monthly salary is only 35,000 Baht a month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Clothes</strong> - I think buying good quality clothes in Thailand can be quite expensive. Maybe the price is similar to or a little cheaper than Western prices but then salaries here are much lower. To buy a good shirt you need to spend about 1,000 Baht. Sure you can get a cheap one for 300 baht somewhere but the quality is lacking. Import taxes mean items like Nike trainers are much more expensive in Thailand than your home country.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Cars</strong> - If you are planning to be here for the long term you might consider buying a car. The price is very expensive when compared to salaries. Again this is related to import tax and with prices starting at around 600,000 Baht the price is similar to many western countries. If you want a BMW or Mercedes you will need around 4 Million Baht to buy the latest models. You will see supercars driving around Bangkok, but at 30 Million baht for a Lamborghini (c. 15 million Baht in the USA) it\'s an overly expensive purchase.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>-<strong>Hi-So Coffee</strong> - There are a few chains of coffee shop which charge over 150 Baht for a cup of coffee. Mainly found in the shopping malls and tourist areas they offer awful value compared to the many local and small coffee stalls which serve great coffee. 150 Baht isn\'t going to destroy your bank account but I feel it\'s just expensive when it\'s close to the prices found in your home country.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So these are my choices for what\'s cheap and expensive when living here in Thailand. Maybe you agree or disagree with these, let me know....</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I was there for toothpaste, and by Zeus\' eyes there are a lot of options.</p>\n<p>Even in the humble local Lotus Express nearest my home in Chiang Rai. After years of using that brown herbal concoction so widely available, I wanted something wedding-dress white this time, if not for the good of my teeth, then for the benefit of my bristles. Choices, choices.</p>\n<p>And there it was, winking shamelessly at me from its place beside a wall of ubiquitous Colgate, Darlie.</p>\n<p>Now Darlie is an interesting brand. The more wizened among us will recall its former branding as the less politically-correct, &lsquo;Darkie.\' Back then the packaging was emblazoned with the logo of a midnight minstrel blessed with a shiny set of pristine gnashers.</p>\n<p>And although the name has been changed (Darlie\'s Chinese name still manages to translate as &lsquo;black person!\'), and the man on the box is of indeterminable racial origin, there is still something a little off about the branding. Especially in these ethnic origin-gender identity-sexual orientation sensitive times.</p>\n<p>Colgate, who has acquired the company that makes Darlie, recognises this themselves. It only sells the product in some Asian countries and has no plans to sell it elsewhere, a tacit acknowledgement of this &lsquo;offness\'.</p>\n<p>But isn\'t that part of the beauty of Thailand? Its...ermmm...penchant for the &lsquo;inappropriate.\'</p>\n<p>Who can forget the palaver over the high school students dressed in Nazi regalia? Or prevent an involuntary cringe at the parading of dwarves on weekend TV?</p>\n<p>It\'s even infectious. Nana stalwarts will recall that the Irish owner of the now defunct Finnegan\'s Bar even employed a dwarf in leprechaun attire to beckon customers in. A kind of Nana-fied, living, breathing maneki-neko.</p>\n<p>I have only been here ten and half years, so my knowledge of the Thai mind is superficial, at best. My cultural conditioning still causes me to take offence, albeit a well-hidden offence, when I am occasionally poked in the belly and told how fat I have become.</p>\n<p>It does, however, help give me that little push needed to get my lazy, middle-aged arse back to gym, so it\'s not all bad. Vanity can be a great motivator. So is this disregard for the sensitivities of others a good thing? Healthy even?</p>\n<p>Honesty can be as refreshing as a good oral hygiene routine, and at most it happens two or three times a day too. It has value in that it allows us to perceive others in an unfiltered way. We get to see the world as it is. To face the reality of the moment, undiluted and unadulterated, and this is necessary for us to improve upon that reality.</p>\n<p>The problems can arise when the mirror is held up, when that honesty is reciprocated. The most blunt among us can often be the most sensitive. Reality is a two way street and we don\'t all drive on the same side of the road.</p>\n<p>Much of what is often dismissed as over-sensitive, politically correct, namby-pampy pandering comes from a good place. Words are weapons. Look at the how language is used to dehumanise the enemy around the world: from Black Americans being dismissed as &lsquo;apes,\' justifying their enslavement, to the Hutu hate radio labeling the Tutsis as &lsquo;cockroaches\' before the Rwandan genocide.</p>\n<p>Sure, these are extreme examples, and there is a spectrum of course. But the point is clear, language can be used to demean, to deprive, or to destroy, and the movement that forces us to give consideration to the power of our words has been instrumental in creating a more welcoming world for the marginalised.</p>\n<p>So, while I endeavour not to &lsquo;think too much\' about all this, I don\'t want to be thought of as a buffalo either.

I\'m firmly back in the hamster wheel as a year 6 teacher in a wonderful primary school and am working 60 hour weeks to cope with the demands of being an NQT. But wait....Thailand is beckoning once again!','<p>My Thai adventure was only ever intended to be just that:  A foray into the unknown to see if my better half and I could ever survive in a less ruthless hamster wheel than our native London.</p>\n<p>We went against credible advice and took jobs before we\'d left the UK and it all went smoothly for us. There were no desperate job searches or border runs. Instead, we had a well-known EP school in Bangkok hold us by the hand and guide us into the expat life we could only possibly dream of back home.</p>\n<p>Between us we pulled in around 145k a month and lived like kings. We met some fantastic people, both local and farang, and saved a decent wedge of money over the course of our 12 month contract. In addition to all of this, we got to see some of the most beautiful places Southeast Asia has to offer.</p>\n<p>However, it was not all plain sailing. Around 8 months in, I found myself beginning to resent many things without reason. People began to grate on me. Local people, western people... Normal daily life hacks we\'d become accustomed to, suddenly became such a chore. Then we started comparing everything to \"back home\" and longing for the friends and family we\'d left behind.</p>\n<p>With the wonderful, yet agonising benefit of hindsight, I now know that all we needed was a sodding holiday back to Blighty to see our loved ones and agree that the weather in the UK was still pants!</p>\n<p>This realisation bizarrely dawned on us simultaneously as we sipped our glasses of red wine by the sea, on a gloriously secluded cove in the north of Koh Phagnan, on our final trip to the beach before we flew home. Neither of us said a thing. We both knew that we were too far gone in arranging employment back home and getting family members excited about our return, so we made peace with our exit from paradise.</p>\n<p>We didn\'t just go bat-shit crazy and run home for a hot dinner though. There were more pressing, grown up reasons to come home which helped justify our behaviour.</p>\n<p>Firstly, my dear father was due to undergo some seriously testing heart surgery. Secondly, as a newly qualified teacher, I needed to complete my induction year in a British school to solidify my qualification and be a more attractive, future option for international schools.</p>\n<p>So where are we now?</p>\n<p>We\'ve been home 5 minutes (5 months) and are both working in schools. I\'m firmly back in the hamster wheel as a year 6 teacher in a wonderful primary school and am working 60 hour weeks to cope with the demands of being an NQT.</p>\n<p>My old man has had an absolutely appalling time since his stint under the knife went pear shaped to say the least, but at the end of a dark and difficult 2 months, he looks to be out of the woods and on the mend.</p>\n<p>So, if all goes well, we will be returning to Thailand in the near future, to give it a proper go and see if we can settle out there for the foreseeable future. Considering the &pound;14k we came with is gone (I know it sounds crazy but 5 months of no salary coming in, in London, a car, insurance, deposit and rent on a North London flat and a holiday later, it was all gone!)</p>\n<p>We are reasonably stable as we now have a good income and can save steadily for a cushion for our move.</p>\n<p>We miss the massages, the scrumptious food, the vibrant life of the Bangkok streets, the children we taught, people we met, the nights out and the trips to a plethora of entrancing Asian destinations. I even miss those god-awful ham &amp; cheese toasties from 7/11 after a night out!</p>\n<p>Our families can see that a part of us is missing so they are supportive of our decision. All I have to do now is get 30, year 6 kids to exceed expectations in their SATs before the British government moves the goal posts yet again and I can plot my way to Suvarnabhumi and get in an air conditioned meter taxi and relax.</p>\n<h3>Update 4th May 2016</h3>\n<p>\"Share your memories\" says Facebook, dragging up the past before my eyes. This past year, every now and then, an image of me or the missus putting away a cool bottle of Beer Lao on an idyllic beach would pop up on my phone, reminding me of the life I left behind to come back to the UK. What hurt more was that I often shared those images for the sole purpose of rubbing it in the face of people back home (Karma eh?).</p>\n<p>After a long year of dark, dark winter mornings and frozen windscreens before my working day began, the days in London are finally getting longer. Just as well really - as the end of the academic year draws close, I have been finding it harder and harder to fit all that needs to be done, into the allotted time (also known as every hour god sends).</p>\n<p>I\'ve been completing my newly qualified teacher (NQT) year, as a year 6 teacher in a maintained school in North London and I\'ve found the red tape and nonsensical procedures that the UK government imposes on its teachers, hard to deal with. The workload is ridiculous and the new curriculum and its assessment have evidently been put together by a chimpanzee being allowed to take up residence somewhere in the Department for Education, and fling letters at a blank canvas.</p>\n<p>The kids have actually been the saving grace as they have been wonderful and I have made memories here that I will never forget. Anyone who is crazy enough to enter our once-noble profession will tell you, it\'s the kids that make it worthwhile. Having been able to see them develop as learners and prepare for their life as secondary school students has been nothing short of a privilege. Having said that, I\'ve had enough and I want out!</p>\n<p>We\'ve been planning our escape (the missus and I) since the day we touched down at Heathrow last April, and yesterday we had the most wonderful news! Despite my limited experience as far as the top international schools are concerned (I have been qualified for three years and have spent two of those teaching in the UK), I\'ve somehow managed to get an interview and convince them to take a chance on me. What\'s more is that they\'ve expressed an interest in employing my other half too! I\'ve been plugging away at the vacancies, trying to create opportunities and for a while, they didn\'t come by, came by at the wrong time or were simply not as desirable as they made out to be. So we were elated when I received the call last night!</p>\n<p>In the first week of August, I will be settling into my new neighbourhood at the lower end of Sukhumvit, enjoying the hustle and bustle that I\'ve missed, as I move very, very slowly under the Bangkok sun. My previous experience of teaching at an EP school was a good one and I\'m grateful for it but this should be something else - for I have landed a plum gig at one of the so called &lsquo;top tier\' schools and I will be grabbing the opportunity with both hands. &lsquo;More money\' will be balanced out with &lsquo;more work\' no doubt but that\'s ok - as my Jane says, \"it can\'t be any worse than this year\".</p>\n<p>The only thing left to ponder now is what to do first when I\'ve rolled along that expressway towards Bangkok: massage? Beer?  Street food?  Maybe we\'ll let our longing for the city hang for a few days and head straight to the islands? It\'s in the expat DNA to moan about the place and god knows I\'ve moaned about Bangkok plenty! But trust me...you really don\'t know what you\'ve got &lsquo;til it\'s gone.</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Bob Smith</span></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/goodbye.jpg','2016-06-22 04:19:13',0,'2016-06-22 04:19:13','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30399,59,'Motorcycle madness','motorcycle-madness','An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure','Having heard about far too many motorcycle accidents here and now experiencing one myself, I\'ve decided enough is enough - no more motorbikes!','<p>I would have experienced my most meaningful, most fruitful, and most enjoyable life here in Thailand for 9 years if not for what happened to me last month.</p>\n<p>On my way to work, I took a motorcycle that was parked near our apartment. Motorcycle drivers usually waited for their passengers here. Whoever was ahead in the queue would get the passenger. That time, a lady driver took her turn. We nearly approached the end of our destination when she overtook several cars with a speed of only 20 kph in order to get ahead by taking the left side of the road where her motorcycle could fit in.</p>\n<p>In a flash of a second, a car hit us and we were thrown towards the side of the road.  I only knew I was lying down in an awkward position.  I could not pull out my left foot stuck on one part of the motorcycle.  I had to pull it out off my sandal for I already felt pain on my toes and ankle.</p>\n<p>Fortunately it wasn\'t so serious. I looked for my eyeglasses and I saw them a meter away from me. The   bruised knee, elbows, wrist and palms gave me pain. Then I stood up and massaged my aching ankle and toes to feel if they were okay. Fortunately they were okay.</p>\n<p>My driver was holding her bended knee moaning in pain and I guess it was broken. Then traffic increased and people came to the rescue. The driver of the car called up an ambulance while I was still in a shock and I thought of going to the hospital for treatment.</p>\n<p>At the hospital, they asked me what time the accident happened and where it happened. I went to the emergency room 	and a nurse treated my bruises. The doctor recommended an x-ray and anti-tetanus injection but I refused for I knew it wasn\'t that serious. He gave me tablets instead for anti-inflammation and anti-pain. But after four days I still had traumatic pain at the back of my upper legs, upper arms, shoulders, and palms.</p>\n<p>So, after recovering from the traumatic experience, I decided to change my residence, to another area, where I need not ride a motorcycle to lessen the danger of having similar or more serious accident.</p>\n<p>Before what had happened to me, I already heard about lots of motorcycle accidents. My former student\'s father was in coma for a week due to a fatal motorcycle accident for not wearing a helmet; my co-teachers husband couldn\'t walk for a month because of it; my student\'s mother had black eyes, face, and arms and couldn\'t report for work for a week; my two students came to school with plaster cast arms, and more. But I was really fortunate to have slight bruises only.</p>\n<p>Before when riding motorcycles I would tell drivers to slow down. Some would listen but others would pretend not hearing anything. So the only recourse was to pray for my safety. You see drivers have helmets and passengers don\'t have.  When a motorcycle accident occurs the poor passenger will be prone to a head injury because of the absence of a helmet.</p>\n<p>I hope that even in provinces and towns of Thailand there\'ll be ordinances that require passengers to have helmets too. In downtown Bangkok this is being enforced so I feel secured when riding a motorcycle there.</p>\n<p>I just hope that history will not repeat itself for it is indeed psychologically and physically stressful. In my case, I thought I was already okay right after the accident, but when I retired at night and the succeeding days, my muscles, and my whole body ached.</p>\n<p>Well, I am not afraid of riding motorcycles again, but I will try to avoid them if I can. \"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure\".</p>\n<p>As I\'ve said, I changed residence that can be reached by foot, a \"sung tao\" truck, or a taxi. After all, walking is a good exercise, \"sung tao\" is cheaper, and a taxi is more comfortable, and more secure.</p>','','2015-10-10 02:53:11',1,'2015-10-10 02:53:11','2015-10-10 17:05:12'),(30400,20,'Adventures in Yangon','adventures-in-yangon','What does Burma\'s former capital have in store for the traveler?','If the country\'s economy were to develop and the powers-that-be decided to prioritise restoration, then the city could be the most beautiful in Southeast Asia','<h3>First impressions</h3>\n<p>Flying into Yangon late at night I couldn\'t believe that five million people live in the city. The glowing, car-choked arteries I saw on my ascent from Bangkok were entirely absent. Below me now were vast areas of foggy darkness, an archipelago of dim and spartan illumination. At Yangon International Airport, \"ATIONAL AIRPORT\" was unlit. The terminal smelled faintly of cigarette smoke but it was modern and clean -- and eerily quiet.</p>\n<p>Yangon used to be Rangoon but its name was changed in 1989 when the military junta decided to revert to an older name out of national pride. The name Rangoon emanates imperial romance to many in the West; Yangon is an enigma. It isn\'t even the capital city anymore. That honour has belonged since 2006 to Nay Pyi Daw, a planned city in the middle of nowhere. Yangon literally means \"Enemies run out of\", and it speaks volumes of the Burmese experience with interlopers that the city was called this even before the British arrived to seize it in 1824.</p>\n<p>The first person who spoke to me outside the airport terminal in the warm night air was a young man in a longyi, the traditional dress tied in a knot at the waist and running down to the feet.</p>\n<h3>My Burmese cabbie</h3>\n<p>\"Excuse me, sir, would you like a taxi to the downtown, sir?\" He spoke with a subcontinental mellifluosity that had echoes of old world imperialism about it. His teeth were red from chewing betel nut, the preferred vice of Burmese men. East Africans have qat, Europeans have booze, Andeans have the coca leaf, and the Burmese have this nutty little stimulant. He intermittently spat out the window as we drove.</p>\n<p>At one point about ten minutes into our journey I asked an innocuous question about traffic or something and there was a silence for so long that I assumed he\'d forgotten I asked something. We came to a stop light and he turned to the open window, expectorated a burgundy rope of saliva, then eloquently began to deal with my question. And that was my introduction to betel nut.</p>\n<p>We drove past the University of Yangon. My driver was an economics graduate working as a cabbie. It isn\'t uncommon in Burma for people to end up doing work totally unrelated to their academic qualification. Lawyers working as tour guides, accountants as manual labourers, historians as trishaw drivers, and so on. A Burmese academic based in the United States, Dr Myint Oo, -- a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine -- has said that degrees from the country\'s universities \"aren\'t worth the paper they are printed on\", but the University of Yangon actually has a venerable history. It was established in 1878 when the British Empire was at its relative zenith and as recently as the 1950s it was one of the best universities in Southeast Asia. Those days are long gone, though, and now the storied institution finds itself outside the world\'s top 23,000 institutes of higher education.</p>\n<p>I was horrified by the near-misses we had on the way to the city. Cyclists and pedestrians appeared from nowhere. Every second or third streetlight was dead or stuttering and whenever an ancient man on a bicycle materialised out of the inky night beyond the taxi\'s headlights I\'d grip my seat and hope the driver saw him. When we arrived at the top of my hostel\'s street I walked past a burly European man, probably around fifty, with shaggy hair and a vacant look just staring into space with a large beer in his hand. \"So that\'s how it is in Yangon\", I thought.</p>\n<h3>Getting my bearings</h3>\n<p>For breakfast the following morning I sought a famous noodle shop that serves Shan cuisine, the Shan being just one of many Burmese ethnic groups. My hostel was on 12th street and so I had to take a walk along the chaotic Anawratha road to 34th street. It was 8am. The noiseless menace of the night before was gone, replaced on the streets with a wholesome atmosphere of honest toil; the shouts of workers, the honking of horns, the reading of newspapers, the drinking of tea.</p>\n<p>Yangon\'s downtown area is laid out on a grid; a vestige of the colonial era. In theory it should make the city easily navigable, but the streets are often poorly signposted so walking past your destination is a common mistake. The traffic was difficult at times. In Burma they drive on the right, but many cars are Japanese imports meaning the steering wheel is also on the right. Perhaps this quirk affects spatial awareness to the point that it accounts for the city\'s drivers\' apparent reluctance to slow down for pedestrians.</p>\n<p>The humanity of Yangon is megadiverse, the city holding in its embrace Dravidians with skin the colour of coal, people of northern Han ancestry with milk-bottle complexions, and every conceivable shade in between. Religion permeates the city. I walked past a Salvation Army church thronged with congregants, the raucous sound of singing pouring out onto the street. Not a hundred yards away a Hindu temple, then a Buddhist shrine under a Bodhi tree, a mosque, a synagogue; Yangon has them all. But these are not mere decorations, the residual constructions of a pious, bygone age. These are the tools that enable the Yangonese to live and breathe their faith in the present.</p>\n<h3>\'Traditional and demure\'</h3>\n<p>The streets of Yangon are festooned with gritty, maroon splashes. With no little gentility, men frequently pause to spit at the side of the road. Women wear thanaka on their faces, a white paste made of tree bark thought to be good for the skin. Sometimes it appears as swirls on their cheekbones, other times as squares. Its application is as subject to the whims of fashion as anything else. One old woman drinking tea had it all over her face and arms. Burmese women are traditional and demure in their dress. In a modern world of hypersexuality they are a jarring sight in their elegant modesty.</p>\n<p>I arrived at my noodle house about forty-five minutes after setting out, dehydrated and exhilarated, and paid a dollar for a bowl of spicy noodles with pork and pickled vegetables. While I ate, an old monk came and sat down at the restaurant\'s entrance with an alms bowl. One of the waiters, perhaps fifteen years old, brought the monk rice, touching the bowl gently on his forehead with great solemnity before emptying the contents into an unseen receptacle. The monk left. Not a word was uttered by anyone involved in the rite during the five minutes of its duration.</p>\n<p>After I finished my meal I went for a walk in the suffocating heat of Yangon at midday. Quite quickly I realised this was a bad idea. The overwhelming traffic noise, the perilous roads, the grime, the smell of incense; I wanted to get away from it all until the intensity of the sun abated. On 50th street, perhaps a mile away from where I was, I knew there was a celebrated bar frequented by expats. I made a beeline there hoping to get chatting with a colourful character or two. Ice cold lager in air-conditioned surroundings sounded more appealing the further I walked.</p>\n<h3>\'Decompression chamber\'</h3>\n<p>Down on 50th street there were a few foreigners and some wealthy locals drinking, eating and playing pool. The expats mostly kept to themselves, but I got talking with an Australian man in middle age who was in the city to open a hotel for a well known international chain. He hated Yangon -- hated it -- and had sent his wife and children back to their home in Saigon where he lived before being miserably anchored with what he considered a hardship posting. We got on well and shared a few beers and whiskeys together before heading to 19th street together, the Khao San Road of Yangon -- Khao San Road of course being the famous backpacker street in Bangkok, a \"decompression chamber between east and west\" as Alex Garland put it in The Beach.</p>\n<p>Being honest, one couldn\'t describe anything in Yangon as a decompression chamber. With Yangon you are immediately submersed in deep water without apology, though 19th street at least has what might be considered a vibrant nightlife and attracts a lot of young westerners. It\'s lined with bars and restaurants selling kebabs and other snacks on sticks and cold beer and cocktails. Despite the presence of tourists it is undeniably authentic -- if poverty bestows authenticity. People still live in ramshackle houses, and chickens can occasionally be seen wandering around. Filthy children in bare feet beg at the tables of everyone -- not just tourists -- a sure sign that their poverty is wretchedly genuine.</p>\n<p>My single-serving friend began to hunger for the company of the fairer sex after my conversation ceased to entertain him -- after his libido had been sufficiently aroused by the presence of some beautiful local girls -- and he asked the young bar staff repeatedly where a massage might be procured.</p>\n<p>The toilets in the bar were among the worst I\'d ever seen and I dreaded the pang in my bladder whenever it came, no matter how much I drank. Soon after my drinking partner left I got chatting with some local Hindus, two brothers. One was brown and the other so black it indulged the orientalist in me and I felt like he was a bona fide connection with India\'s ancient, pre-Aryan past. He sat silently and charismatically and smoked while his brother regaled me with tales of his time in England. I drank a concoction of orange juice and Jaegermeister until the world started to swirl and I stumbled home with the rats feeling for all the world like a character in a Conrad novel.</p>\n<h3>The must-sees</h3>\n<p>The next morning I walked the four kilometres to Shwedagon, the absolute must-see, number one attraction in Yangon. This is the part where I say No visit to Yangon is complete without a visit to the Shwedagon Pagoda<sup>TM</sup>. This colossal, gold and diamond-studded edifice is one of the holiest sites in Buddhism. When I first caught a hazy glimpse of it as I walked along People\'s Park my attention was drawn to flocks of birds like dots, dwarfed by the golden stupa, flying around its pinnacle. It seemed as sacred to me at that moment as a Himalayan mountain at dawn when the early morning sunlight turns jagged, snowy peaks orange and pink and you struggle to comprehend the scale of things and even your own place in the universe.</p>\n<p>On entering the grounds you must take off you shoes, then you begin the long dark walk up many enclosed steps to the hilltop. The entrance is like a city in itself. Souvenir vendors were selling things made of ivory and teak and more; at least that\'s what the signs said. I hoped they weren\'t true. Nobody hustled for my business. I bought a hand-carved elephant made of jade. It felt surprisingly heavy in my hand.</p>\n<p>At the top of the stairs I signed a tourist book. I noted that I was the first tourist to sign for that day, but the woman at the desk told me that I was in fact the twenty-first and that a full page had been filled before I arrived. I thought nothing more of it and continued my walk up the tunnel. I emerged blinking into the sunlight to be met by a gnarled old Burmese man who offered to be my guide. He quoted me twelve dollars for a tour of the site, which I agreed to, wishing to do my part for the local economy.</p>\n<p>Up there on the hot clean tiles of the hilltop, people worshipped with a fervour I hadn\'t heretofore seen in a Buddhist country. Buddhism was not some inert relic, but vigorous and muscular, the stories told there as real as the pilgrims\' own flesh and blood and bone. Families picnicked under holy trees and old people snoozed beside reclining Buddhas and the whole site teemed with hectic spirituality.</p>\n<p>My guide, a septuagenarian who graduated in Law, asked me what day I was born on. When I said Friday he did some quick astrological calculations. We went to a shrine marked with the appropriate day of the week and after dousing a statue five times with water he informed me that my power number was 21...and then I recalled being the twenty-first tourist of the day. Looking up at the jewel-encrusted umbrella atop the giant stupa I briefly felt a profound serenity and reassurance wash over me and then, just like that, it was gone.</p>\n<p>The clouds were low-lying and the sky dark grey when I left. I hailed a taxi just as rain began spitting onto the warm, tropical ground. I wanted to pay a visit to the fabled Strand Hotel on the waterfront, near the British embassy, where Somerset Maugham, George Orwell, and Rudyard Kipling drank in the city\'s prime. The hotel was beautiful, and in the bar I had a couple of beers, but it was empty. I played a game of pool with myself and hoped a man in a khaki suit and panama hat might turn up and join me, but despite the ceiling fans whirring soothingly in gorgeous rooms with obsequious staff, the Empire coming to life remained no more than a reverie.</p>\n<p>I took a long walk from Hledan street downtown to the understated and poignant mausoleum of the last Mughal emperor of India a half hour walk away. Exiled by the British, he lived out his days in Rangoon pining for his homeland writing mystical poetry not unlike that of Hafez. To get there I walked along hot, dusty suburban streets dappled in treeshade while construction workers toiled in unyielding afternoon heat, and painted women sat in painted huts selling noodles and tea.</p>\n<p>The caretaker of the mausoleum was a short, friendly man in a Muslim prayer cap. As I arrived a wealthy young couple, perhaps Indian or Pakistani, were departing. It seemed that the gravesite had a steady trickle of interested tourists arriving, but not enough that they were ever overwhelmed. I was mechanically walked through various framed photographs and points of interest and eventually told \"You give me donation\".</p>\n<h3>\'Immortal\'</h3>\n<p>I went to the airport. My taxi driver -- a fat, jocular Muslim (whose very first question to me upon leaving the mausoleum was \"You are Muslim?\") asked me where I was from. I said Ireland, but he repeated Holland over and over again with great enthusiasm; \"Europe, Europe, very good\". I was too hot and tired to correct him. We passed Catholic and Anglican red-brick churches and colonial administrative buildings along a main boulevard, all of them beautiful and not at all out of place in tropical rain and surrounded by palm trees. Much of the colonial architecture that remains in Yangon is in a terrible state of disrepair, but it still bowls you over, a wild architectural portmanteau as satisfying as your third beer on a Friday night. If the country\'s economy were to develop and the powers-that-be decided to prioritise restoration then the city could be the most beautiful in Southeast Asia. Empires -- as the Burmese well know -- come and go, but Yangon would be immortal.</p>\n<p><strong>Derek Hopper</strong></p>\n<h3>Follow me on Twitter @derekmhopper</h3>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/derek2.jpg','2015-10-10 03:27:12',1,'2015-10-10 03:27:12','2018-04-15 03:03:24'),(30404,52,'October 2015','october-2015','Choose yourself a TEFL course in Thailand today!','All the latest news, promotions, videos and discounts from Thailand\'s leading TEFL course providers.','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thaistudents2.jpg\" style=\"color: #545454; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<hr style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"><strong><strong><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong></strong></strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai has been teaching a full-time 120-hour course for over ten years and can boast over 1000 graduates.

Hopefully, you can use the places below as starting points to begin your own foodie adventures in Thailand\'s urban metropolis.','<p>I am a huge fan of Thai food. I think it is hard to compare the sheer complexity of flavor found in many Thai dishes. To be honest, I would be lying if I did not say that the food has been part of the reason I have stayed here for so long. However, after living in Thailand for three years, I am often in the mood for something different. No matter how great Thai specialties are, it is important to seek novelty. And living in Bangkok certainly allows for new culinary experiences.</p>\n<p>Bangkok is a truly cosmopolitan city, and the food available here reflects this. I have certainly had many bad meals here, but the majority of them have been great. I think the serendipitous discovery of new restaurants is one of my favorite parts of living in such a large city. Yet, since it is not always easy to find new places to go, I have decided to list some descriptions of my favorite restaurants (both Thai and other) below. Hopefully, you can use the places below as starting points to begin your own foodie adventures in Thailand\'s urban metropolis.</p>\n<p><strong>Best Beef</strong></p>\n<p>At first, Best Beef seems like a typical Shabu place, and it is really. However, their buffet for 359 baht not only comes with unlimited food (two hour time limit) but also comes with unlimited San Miguel beer. Needless to say, this is an amazing deal, and if you are looking to have a few beers at night, it is quite possibly the cheapest non 7-11 or Khao San Road option around.</p>\n<p><strong>New York Steak and Burger Company</strong></p>\n<p>The burgers served here are half a pound, and many of the offerings have savory toppings as well (the California burgers comes with shrimp on top and another offering comes with bacon, egg, and onion straws). This place is much better than most of the burger joints I\'ve been to in Bangkok. You can find it on Sukhumvit 22.</p>\n<p><strong>Chu</strong></p>\n<p>This famous brunch and coffee spot, located in the Exchange Tower near Asoke, is known for its variety of hot chocolates. I prefer the creamy Parisian hot chocolate myself, but you will not be disappointed with any of the choices. Chu also has pretty good eggs benedict and pancakes.</p>\n<p><strong>Isao</strong></p>\n<p>I like to come here for their lunch special. You get fruit, salad, miso soup, and a nice size plate of sushi for only 250 baht. It\'s on Sukhumvit 31 near Phrom Pong.</p>\n<p><strong>Teppin</strong></p>\n<p>Though this restaurant, located on Sukhumvit 61, is a little hard to spot, I have never seen it short of customers. Having never been to Japan, I have been able to get close by enjoying the authentic Japanese food at Teppin. I prefer the salmon belly and Carpaccio. Dinner should come to around 600 baht per person.</p>\n<p><strong>Thiptara</strong></p>\n<p>This riverfront restaurant, located in the Peninsula Hotel, appears expensive at first glance. However, since it serves Thai specialties, the prices are quite reasonable. Expect a typical meal without drinks to go for about 1200-1500 baht per person. It\'s certainly expensive for Thai food, but the food is great (I would recommend any of the duck or fish dishes), and the view of the Chao Phraya doesn\'t get any better.</p>\n<p><strong>Tor Om Tum</strong></p>\n<p>Serving wonderful laab and other Isaan dishes, Tor Om Tom is a great spot for either lunch or dinner. In addition to typical Isaan fare such as laab and som tam, Tor Om Tum also has soft shell crab and salmon on the menu. It\'s located on Sukhumvit 61, and the price range is around 150-200 baht per person.</p>\n<p><strong>The Terminal 21 Food Court</strong></p>\n<p>Usually, I am not the biggest fan of mall food courts. However, the food court at Terminal 21 not only serves food as cheaply or cheaper than that on the street (30-35 baht) but also has a wide variety of Asian cuisine. You can find typical Thai dishes, Chinese offerings, and even some Japanese dishes such as sukiyaki among the many stalls.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-10-13 18:21:02',1,'2015-10-13 18:21:02','2015-10-14 08:08:03'),(30410,71,'The quest to find a condo in Bangkok','the-quest-to-find-a-condo-in-bangkok','How easy is it to buy your own place?',' If you plan on being a permanent expat in Bangkok, it makes financial sense to go for buying a place of your own.','<p>(Part 1 of 2)</p>\n<p>I\'ve been in Bangkok for a few years now, and can still remember the hell hole I lived in for the first six months. Read: a glorified prison. <a href=\"/blogs/sam-thompson/pad-hopping\">I have since been living in one of the Lumpini Place properties</a> and honestly quite like it. That said, I now have a fianc&eacute;, and have decided it\'s time to put roots down in the city: it\'s time to buy a condo. There\'s something I never thought I\'d say...</p>\n<h3>\'Affordable\'</h3>\n<p>Buying property anywhere is a pain, there\'s no other way to say it. House, condo, townhouse... there are multitudes of choices, even when you\'ve narrowed down what you\'re looking for, and even more multitudes of sources to find these choices. We decided on a condo simply because it is the most affordable option in our area for having everything we\'re looking for, and because buying a house we can afford would mean also having to buy a car and commute. No, thank you.</p>\n<p>Then you have the language barrier; online, if you can\'t speak/type in Thai, you\'ve ruled out a lot of websites and listings that don\'t have English translations as well. Sites like DDProperty.com are pretty good about having at least rough translations, but you then have the problem of alternate spellings, among other issues, that makes the search quite fragmented.</p>\n<p>Once you find places you are interested in, you then need to have either good Thai skills (um... about that) or someone willing to do all of the calling, wheeling, and dealing. Luckily, I have a Thai fianc&eacute; who is all too happy to do this, and without her I really don\'t know how I would have dealt with it all.</p>\n<h3>Financing issues</h3>\n<p>Aside from that, if you\'re living on a teacher\'s salary like I am, you aren\'t made out of money. Most banks here [understandably] won\'t deal with foreigners for home financing, and those that may will likely require Thai sponsors or some other \"hookup\" of some kind. In that case, for the most part, it\'s either pay cash or have someone Thai that does the financing for you.</p>\n<p>In our experience, looking around the Chatuchak area of Bangkok (the northern end of town, near BTS Mo Chit and MRT Phahon Yothin/Ladprao), there are plenty of 1 bedroom condos, and a good many 2 bedroom condos around. There are also a fair number of townhouses, but I\'m a stickler for wanting a pool. Usually, you\'ll only get 1 bathroom floor plans unless you\'re willing to pay a premium.</p>\n<p>As is likely obvious, buying in the newer condo complexes (Life, Lumpini Place, etc.) is far more expensive (and for far less space) than looking in the older establishments. A 30 sqm 1 bedroom condo at my current Lumpini Place is listed for more than the 85 sqm 2 bed/2 bath condo we have decided to buy at an older complex in the same area. The amenities are roughly the same (gym, pool, etc.), although granted, the older complex is just that: older.</p>\n<h3>It\'s up to you</h3>\n<p>It all comes down to what you want out of what you buy. Size, location, amenities, price... all are of varying importance to each person. One of my biggest complaints with the newer complexes, aside from the ever-smaller dimensions, is the build quality I\'ve experienced. I\'m tired of hearing every time my neighbors on either side of me plug something in to a power outlet, and I want to be somewhere where I don\'t have to keep my stereo volume at \"inside voice\" levels.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, my current digs are great; new, well maintained, convenient, and the list goes on. But it\'s small, thin walled, and financially, it\'s simply not a feasible option for me (and I imagine many teachers) in terms of value for money.</p>\n<p>So there you have it. Obviously, these are just my experiences having looked around for the past six months or so, and I\'m certainly no property expert. That said, where there\'s a will, there\'s a way... and if you plan on being a permanent expat in Bangkok, it makes financial sense to go for buying a place; you\'ll probably pay about the same or less for a mortgage as you do for the same place paying rent.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

To the Ban Kra Jao district, east of Bangkok and about a thirty-minute drive from Samut Prakarn. It\'s an area known as \'The Bangkok Jungle\' and a great favourite for cyclists, walkers and nature lovers alike.</p>\n<p>Our starting point was Bang Nam Pheung floating market (except not very much seems to float) and one of several shops in the vicinity that rents out clapped-out bicycles for 20 baht an hour or 80 baht for the whole day (I don\'t suppose you can expect top of the range mountain bikes for that kind of dough) We had got the name of the shop from a Thai website and given them a call in advance. \"Yes, we rent out bikes. Oh and we also open at four in the morning\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cycling1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>With the gift of hindsight, it wasn\'t necessary to traipse deep into the bowels of such a busy market to hire out three bicycles; there are other rental shops in far more accessible locations such as next to Bang Nam Pheung\'s main car-park.</p>\n<p>We shouldn\'t have taken the map either. The shop we hired bikes from very kindly gave us a sheet of A4 paper with the nearest bike trails and areas of interest marked on it. The map proved woefully inadequate and we ditched it before we\'d even reached the first T-junction.</p>\n<p>After the three of us had wobbled down the main road - with dodgy brakes, no mirrors, no protective cycling gear and cars and lorries roaring past - we made an early pit stop at one of the numerous coffee shops. My wife, as she usually does, chose the one with the cutest \'welcome\' sign. I sat down just relieved to have survived the first leg of the journey.</p>\n<p>\"Do you know what happens if someone knocks over a cyclist in these parts?\" I told my two companions. \"If no one\'s seen the accident, they just bury your body in a clearing in the forest. That\'s after the village headman has flogged off your vital organs for beer money. Honestly. Big Tony told me.\"</p>\n<p>The coffee shop was packed with cyclists. I don\'t mean the part-time pretenders like us, on bikes with shopping baskets. I mean the ones who are head to foot in purple lycra and love nothing more than standing around in small groups and pointing at each other\'s machines. Then another cyclist parks up and the group start pointing at his machine. It\'s fascinating to watch.</p>\n<p>Because the coffee shop was busy, our drinks took an age to arrive. We were in a queue of about fifty. I wanted to ask the staff how they found the weather in Brazil at this time of year but thought better of it. And what are hardcore cycling enthusiasts doing sitting around sipping lattes anyway? I thought they just took a few sips of water from a front-mounted drinks canister and then got their heads down in those funny-shaped helmets to pound out another fifty kilometres!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cycling2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>However, the cloud was not without a silver lining and a cycling club member (he even had gloves on) overheard the three of us admitting we were lost and clueless so he gave us his expert advice on which biking trail to follow. \"Just head for the temple\" he said \"and you\'ll pick up the cycle route there\"</p>\n<p>I don\'t really mean to have a pop at cyclists either. Far from it. Back in the UK, in my twenties, I biked 30 kilometres to work and back every single day - come rain, come shine. My word how I miss it!&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Once we were back on track, we had a whale of a time. We rode through ramshackle villages where grubby children waved, roadside drink vendors beckoned for us to stop for light refreshment and stray dogs just stood there looking bewildered. It was an altogether wonderful slice of Thai life.</p>\n<p>We criss-crossed canals and mangrove plantations (did you see that! That was definitely a croc) and we stopped off at a Siamese Fighting Fish Museum (only worth it for the fresh coconut juice)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cycling3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Finally, we ended up at the excellent Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park. Who would believe such a peaceful and green oasis would exist in such a heavily populated part of the country? Go now before the condo developers move in. Anyway, the park had rivers, lakes and even a bird-watching tower. And it was free to get in! What a marvellous way to spend a Sunday.</p>\n<p>We decided that four hours in the saddle was enough. Well, I suppose it was my backside that had the final say. And we wheeled our bicycles back to the shop in the middle of the Bang Nam Pheung Market, which by now (midday) was heaving with locals enjoying what remained of the Bangkok Vegetarian Food Festival. We settled for three plates of pig\'s leg over rice.</p>\n<p>A cyclist needs his protein.&nbsp;</p>','','2015-10-19 06:51:55',1,'2015-10-19 06:51:55','2015-11-13 19:07:56'),(30422,90,'Why I work in a language centre','why-i-work-in-a-language-centre','Thai high schools? Never again buddy.','The benefits of a good language centre far outweigh those of a high school. The freedom, work conditions and financial package make it the best option for me.','<p>Teaching in a school in Thailand sounds fun right? You get to change your students\' lives and become a real part of the school community.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You get long summer holidays to explore the country and in the evening you can relax in your peaceful rural village. Sounds perfect right? That\'s what I thought so I jumped at the chance to work in a local high school. However, I lasted just 3 months and changed to work in a language school and couldn\'t be happier.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what is so good about a language school?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Salary</strong> - I guess this is something most people know about. When browsing job adverts you can see the salaries for language schools are higher than government schools. 40-55K a month allows you more spending money and the ability to save a bit more. Also you get paid 12 months a year unlike some government schools. Finally many offer an end of year bonus which can be up to a months extra pay</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Students</strong> - It took me about a week in my high school job to realise 75% of students didn\'t care about learning English. Now I have motivated students who have chosen to learn English. Admittedly not all of them are super excited to be learning ( they are made to attend by their parents ) but I can\'t tell you how much better it is to have students who want to learn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Work Conditions</strong> - \" It\'s all part of the experience!\" working in a high school classroom with 50 students and just a couple of old fans to keep you cool. Being a sweaty mess before 10am every day isn\'t fun. In a language centre you will get air conditioning and smaller classes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Feeling comfortable at work should be a basic right and now I\'m happy with the conditions. Also my maximum class size is 12. I can tell you teaching 50 students, the majority of whom don\'t want to study English, is a nightmare. Classroom management is taught in TEFL courses but nothing can prepare you for the reality.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Mature Students</strong> - For me I much prefer teaching adults over children. For some people teaching children is their dream but for others nothing could be worse. I get to have conversations with students about lots of different topics. I felt like an entertainer in the high school but now I feel valued and respected by my students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Holidays</strong> - The dream of a 6 week summer holiday sounds great right? Well it would be but the problem is some high school jobs don\'t pay you during that time. Also it means taking time off when you\'re told to.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your sister\'s wedding is in December - you can\'t go. You want to join your friends who are visiting Thailand for a break mid-term - you can\'t go. Now I get to choose my holidays.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I get around 24 days a year vacation plus national holidays which is about the same as my allowance in the UK. Next week my family are in Thailand I can hang out with them. If there is urgent need to travel back to the UK I can.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Colleagues</strong> - Maybe I am lucky but the people I work with now are great. A good mixture of staff both Thai and foreign. I get along with most people and as it\'s an English school everyone can and does speak English. In Thai high schools there can often be a big divide between Thai and foreign staff. Whilst some staff were nice, others were very petty and unfriendly - maybe I was unlucky though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sounds great right? So there must be some downsides - well there are such as:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Working Hours</strong> - Most language schools are busiest in the evenings and on weekends. This is when you will work. For me it\'s not a problem as my friends all have the same schedule and in Bangkok I can do the things I want any day of the week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, for some people it could mean a reduced social life and missing out on events at night and during the weekend. I finish work at 9pm most days so it is a problem if you don\'t want to work late in the day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Contracted Hours</strong> - I\'m lucky enough to have a guaranteed salary and work schedule but some language centres don\'t guarantee either. Maybe your monthly salary might alter by 5-10K per month. This means quiet months like April ( Songkran ) and October ( university exams and break ) might mean a much reduced pay packet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally I wouldn\'t teach at a high school again. The benefits of a good language centre far outweigh those of a high school.

Many families cook in an outside kitchen and Thais only consider a meal a meal if it is served with rice.','<p>The food of Thailand is startlingly bold and imaginative. Carefully crafted to appeal to all senses, it combines beautiful presentation with fragrant aromas, contrasting yet complementing flavors and textures, and often fearsome chili-heat.</p>\n<h3>\"Foreign influences\"</h3>\n<p>Although Thai food appears unique it is in fact one of the world\'s great fusion cuisines. The country may never have been colonized, but Thai cooks certainly absorbed foreign influences. As in much of Asia, Chinese culinary techniques are very strong, particularly in the form of noodle dishes, soups, and stir-frying to steaming. Indian spices give fresh-tasting Thai curries their deeper, toasty notes, while the flavors of Southeast Asia are tasted in satay and coconut curries. Even Thai chilies are not indigenous, but were introduced by the Portuguese in the 16 th century.</p>\n<p>Thai cooks, many of them attached to the Royal Court, transformed these new ingredients and cooking techniques into something distinctly Thai by combining them with ancient seasoning of garlic, pepper, coriander root, lemongrass, pungent herbs, sour kaffir lime, tamarind, galangal, Asian shallots, coconut, palm sugar, fish sauce, and shrimp pastes.</p>\n<p>These flavors are not, by any means, subtle, but Thai cooking blends them into graceful dishes where no one taste overpowers the other. Above all, Thai cooks value balance, and it is the combination of sweet, sour, salty and hot tastes that makes the food vibrant. With seasoning so important, it is no surprise that the mastery of Thai cooking lies in the labor---intensive creation of its curry and soup pastes, which heavily contrasts with the cuisine\'s quick cooking techniques.</p>\n<h3>So many flavors</h3>\n<p>The incredible aroma of a hot bowl of Tom Yum says much about Thai food. One of its distinctive characteristics is the use of fresh seasonings to impart a lemony essence and floral flavors. In Thai cooking, garlic and shallots, along with the aromatic root seasonings of ginger, turmeric, and the peppery galangal, is the foundations of many dishes. Fish sauce and shrimp paste add a salty taste, chili some heat, and coconut and palm sugar bring sweetness. But it is the sour yet refreshing citrus notes of lime, kaffir lime leaves, and lemongrass that balance the dish.</p>\n<p>Although Thai cuisine is often described as lemony, in fact, lemons do not grow at all in a tropical climate. Instead, the juice of small, sour Thai lime is often added to cut the sweetness and oiliness of dishes. An alternative to a sour Thai taste can come from tamarind or vinegar. The bitter juice of the kaffir lime is very rarely used in Thai cooking, but its leaves and bumpy rind are used for their musty, limey fragrance and to hide the smell of the fish sauce or shrimp paste. Lemongrass, bruised with the back of a chef\'s knife to release the oils and yet add more fragrance into the curry pastes and soups.</p>\n<h3>Food in Thai society</h3>\n<p>A visit to bustling, cosmopolitan Bangkok can make Thailand appear very urban, but in many ways the country remains predominantly an agricultural society. The food most people eat everyday therefore reflects the simple, labor- intensive lifestyle of the paddy fields. Many families cook in an outside kitchen; the simplest meal is rice, grilled fish and a chili dipping sauce (nam phrik), and chili relish.</p>\n<p>The central plains of Thailand are dominated by rice paddy fields, and the fertile land of the country\'s heart beat allows many families there to be essentially self-supporting. Even a small farm can provide rice, vegetables, a few herbs, fruit, fish from the canals (klongs), and frogs and insects from the fields. With enough to sustain themselves there is little need to hunt, with the diet supplemented by a little meat from pigs, chickens and ducks. all over Thailand there is a plentiful supply of food; fish from the southern coastline, rice in the north, and Thais can pick corn, coconuts, pineapples, and harvest rice.</p>\n<p>Like many Asians, the Thais consider a meal a meal only if it is served with rice (khao). Rice and food are synonymous and, with the exception of snacks, Thai dishes are generally thought of in terms of the flavors and nutrients they add to plain rice. Rice makes up the biggest proportion of the meal, a first mouthful is savored before any of the other dishes are tasted, and then just a little of each dish is added to flavor it.</p>\n<h3>\"Beautiful rice\"</h3>\n<p>The long-grain jasmine rice grown in Thailand is one of the most highly regarded in the world, the Thais themselves calling cooked rice (khao suay), &lsquo;beautiful rice\'. Treated simply, the rice is usually steamed to a fluffy yet not sticky texture and releases a delicate aroma, though not a floral one, the jasmine referring to the appearance not the fragrance of the rice. It provides a neutral palate to balance the power of Thai dishes.</p>\n<p>Thailand is also one of the few countries to value sticky long-grain rice. The rest of Asia rarely uses sticky rice, and then mostly for sweet dessert, snack dishes. Only in the relatively infertile mountains of northern Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos where it flourishes is this ancient grain used as a staple.</p>\n<p>Black sticky rice is also popular and while other cuisines shun black food, the Thais have embraced this earthy tasting rice, which combines so well with sugar to become a sweet dessert dish.</p>\n<p><strong>Setting up a basic kitchen.</strong></p>\n<p>At the time of writing, I am living in Phnom Penh and have been here for just over a year. Bangkok was my home for 10 years and I lived in a studio apartment with no kitchen. So, what I did was set up a small, compact cooking area.<br />All you need is an electric hot plate, not the glass top ones; they only work with certain size pans and pots.</p>\n<p>A small rice cooker.</p>\n<p>A non-stick deep frying pan (the same shape as a wok).</p>\n<p>A ceramic pot with a lid and bamboo steamer to fit.</p>\n<p>An electric blender with a spice grinder attachment.</p>\n<p>A sieve and some basic cooking utensils.</p>\n<p>A GOOD quality electric power adaptor.</p>\n<p>This is all I have at home now and I cook great, healthy meals most nights of the week. The cost is not that much, about 3,500 Baht and you will be on your way to cooking dishes that would cost you an arm and a leg in a restaurant in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>For an example, I have cooked in the last 2 weeks dishes like Indian Madras curry, Thai stir-fried garlic prawns, Japanese egg nori rolls, Chinese steamed fish with black beans, Persian chicken curry, Thai mango sorbet, and Thai beef Massaman curry.</p>\n<p>In my next blog I am going to be talking about cooking tricks, tips and preparing meals in advance.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the read.

All I have to do is go outside for a spot of gardening.</p>\n<p>I spent an hour this morning sweeping up leaves and generally just pottering around but I\'ve now returned to the safety of the house, sweaty, exhausted and battle-scarred.</p>\n<h3>Frogs</h3>\n<p>I got off to a bad start by trying to move a large earthenware jug full of water to a shadier part of the garden, without realizing I was disturbing a frog\'s home. Admittedly, it wasn\'t the kind of reptile you\'d see in picture books on the dangers of the Amazon, but as the frog leapt out and flew inches past my right ear, it was enough to make me jump up and hit my head on a tree branch.</p>\n<h3>Lizards?</h3>\n<p>Then I made the foolish decision to try and re-arrange a small, wooden bird-house. It was perfectly OK where it was but I\'m one of those irritating people who move things for the sake of it. I don\'t know what crawled from out of the bird-house, but there was no evidence of wings. Or legs for that matter. Whatever it was just dropped to the ground and slithered silently away.</p>\n<h3>And rats</h3>\n<p>Although I got another fright, it was an altogether preferable encounter to the one I had with the same bird-house several months ago, when an enormous rat jumped out of the hole, ran up my arm and danced its way across my shoulder-blades. And I swear I\'m not making any of this up. Just ask my wife. She was there when I ran screaming into the house.</p>\n<h3>Pond biters</h3>\n<p>And finally this morning, I climbed into the fish-pond to re-align some lotus plants and something has bitten me under the water. For a split second, I actually felt its teeth sink into my right calf. And I know it\'s not my solitary koi carp because I kept him in my eye-line at all times.</p>\n<p>Truth be told, there isn\'t a single ounce of pleasure to be derived from owning and maintaining a garden in Thailand. You can admire it from an upstairs bedroom window or you can show it off briefly to visitors before you all scurry indoors for some air-conditioning - but the act of actually setting foot in a Thai garden is purely for masochists.</p>\n<p>And it pains me to say this because I come from a long line of green-fingered family members. Both my mother and father, health permitting, have always taken great pride in their gardens and my grandfather regularly won awards and rather nice certificates from the Birmingham City Council for his pristine front lawn bordered by prize begonias.</p>\n<h3>The smart people</h3>\n<p>I know I\'m not alone with these opinions. One only has to wander down some of the more affluent Bangkok sois and peek through imposing security gates and you\'ll never see actual family members enjoying quality time in the garden. No one is sitting under ornate gazebos sipping gin and tonics. You never hear the sound of toddlers splashing around in an inflatable paddling pool.</p>\n<p>There might be the leisurely-paced activity of a couple of elderly gardeners as they trim shrubs, cut lawns and sweep driveways but the hi-so family are all inside watching movies on wide-screen TVs and playing with pet poodles. They aren\'t stupid enough as to venture outside where there is every possibility of being squeezed to death by a python.</p>\n<h3>Not forgetting mosquitos</h3>\n<p>On a recent trip to England, we had one evening when the weather was decent enough to sit outside in shirt-sleeves and enjoy some late autumnal sunshine. I know there are not many opportunities to do this in the UK but if you make hay while the sun shines, it\'s a most agreeable way to spend a couple of hours - all sat around a garden table with ice cold beers and enjoying the great outdoors.</p>\n<p>You can never do this in Thailand. Not unless you want every mosquito for miles around to join the party.</p>\n<p>I suppose this is a big advantage of living in a serviced condominium that has one of those communal gardens, usually with a well-tended flowerbed and perhaps a wooden bench or two.</p>\n<p>Although sitting outside in the sunshine might seem like a good idea at the time (and let\'s face it, you\'re going to have the communal garden to yourself anyway) the moment you feel the first nip from a flying insect, you can return to the cool shade of your room - just like all the other sane residents. And you don\'t even have to worry about the upkeep. That\'s someone else\'s responsibility. Sounds like the perfect arrangement to me.</p>','','2015-10-26 23:56:41',1,'2015-10-26 23:56:41','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30434,20,'Halloween celebrations','halloween-celebrations','Schools all over Thailand are spooking it up today','Schools even have a legitimate excuse for celebrating Halloween, because it is covered in the Thai MoE\'s foreign language curriculum - ‘students should be aware of foreign cultures and festivals.\'','<p>I used to love Halloween as a kid. I went to a Catholic school in my youth so there was little chance of engaging in &lsquo;pagan practices\' during the day but as soon as my brothers and I got home the festivities began.</p>\n<p>We would light up the pumpkin that Mum and Dad had painstakingly carved, munch our way through the apple bobbing game and then head out in to the neighbourhood trick or treating.</p>\n<p>Back in the 80s we still thought it was safe to go knocking on strangers\' doors asking for candy (it was the same period that Jim\'ll Fix IT was on prime time TV - guess we were all a bit too naive back then).</p>\n<p>I\'m still not sure what we enjoyed most about trick or treat - overdosing on sugary produce or punishing those who refused to meet our demands, we used to decorate their cars with toothpaste - yeah, feel kinda\' bad about that now...</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the 21st Century and Halloween is an international event celebrated across the globe and Thailand has adopted this pagan festival with particularly enthusiasm.</p>\n<p>Every year you\'ll find shopping malls, entertainment venues and schools all engaging in Halloween festivities during October.

Sticky rice is also transformed into sweets, usually combined with coconut, as in the banana leaf parcels of sticky rice sold on the streets.</p>\n<p>Despite the majority of Thais being Buddhists, very few Thais are vegetarian. Instead most observe a distinction between killing an animal themselves and eating it, with fishing deemed perfectly acceptable. Thais have never been great meat-eaters or hunters. In such a fertile environment food is easily foraged from the land, river and sea, so protein is more likely to come in the form of fish, tofu, and nuts.</p>\n<p>Thailand\'s long southern tail offers kilometers of seafood-rich water, relatively inexpensive and eaten at almost every meal, especially in the south. Even in the landlocked north, the country is endowed with plentiful fresh-water fish, in its extensive network of streams, rivers, ponds, even rice paddy fields, especially during the monsoon season.</p>\n<p>Fish tends to be served whole in Thailand, simply steamed or grilled with chili, lime juice or ginger. It is also roasted, wrapped in banana leaves, or deep-fried and smothered with a sauce. Seafood is also notably used in Thailand\'s hot and sour salads (yum). Thai dishes also have their distinctive taste from the sea in the form of seasoning like shrimp paste and fish sauce.</p>\n<h3>The versatile coconut</h3>\n<p>As the Thais eat almost no dairy products, the creaminess of their savory dishes, rich sweets comes instead from the coconut, a fruit available and scattered with abundance across the whole country.</p>\n<p>The coconut is one of the most versatile foods in the world. Unusually, Thai cooking doesn\'t make much use of animal fats so coconut cream, the main source of fat in the Thai diet, also replaces oil or butter in many recipes. Curry pastes and fresh seasonings are cooked in the oil that separates out from the heated coconut cream, then meat, poultry, seafood or vegetables are added to the soup.</p>\n<p>Fresh coconut cream isn\'t in fact the liquid found inside the nut, but is made from grated coconut meat steeped in hot water and &lsquo;milked &lsquo;to produce a liquid with a rich, thick consistency. This cream contains little water so that it can be cooked to a high temperature. Its thinner relation, coconut milk, is taken from a second soaking. The coconut meat is also grated for cooking some dishes.</p>\n<h3>Thai herbs</h3>\n<p>One of the most distinctive aspects of Thai cooking is its use of fresh herbs. Herbs certainly contribute flavor, handfuls tossed into dishes to give a pungent essence.</p>\n<p>In most Thai recipes, coriander is the essential herb. Unusually it is the roots that are prized for their aroma and heady taste, pounded with garlic, salt and peppercorns as a foundation for many dishes. The refreshing leaves and stems are added to almost all soups, salads and fish dishes.</p>\n<p>Thai cooks also use three varieties of basil, all quite different from European basil. Thai sweet basil has a basic flavor, its aniseed pungency sweetening soups and red yellow curries. The strong aroma of holy basil, sometimes called &lsquo;hot basil &lsquo;because of its peppery spiciness, is accentuated when cooked and used only in strong dishes. There is also delicate lemon basil thrown into soups and seafood. Spearmint is added fresh to seafood or minced meat salads, it\'s cool fragrance and taste a contrast to the chili-heat of these dishes.</p>\n<p>Thai soups are not quite what you might expect from the name. A unique component of most meals, they are neither the individual bowls of chicken noodle or minestrone soup found in western cooking nor the digestive broths of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Instead, a Thai soup (tom), is brought to the table with all the other dishes, to form a harmonious, balanced meal. Ladled into small bowls, the occasional spoonful is sipped during a dinner to counterbalance the other flavors. Thought of only as part of the whole, never as a dish that stands alone. Thai soups can vary enormously, some bursting with spicy, strong flavors, others almost delicate, balancing the sharp tastes or cutting the richness of other dishes.</p>\n<h3>Spicy cuisine</h3>\n<p>To many people outside of Thailand, Tom Yum is one of the best known Thai dishes, a hot prawn soup (Tom Yum Kung) aromatic with lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. To the Thais (tom) which literally means to &lsquo;boil &lsquo;and (yum) to &lsquo;mix\'. A Tom Yum, with its intense combination of heat, astringency and a sweet fragrance, is a liquid version of the most essential elements of Thai cooking and appear to have originated in China.</p>\n<p>Thai food is renowned as one of the hottest cuisines; its use of chilies is world renowned and feared by the uninitiated. With so much use of chilies in Thai cooking it\'s hard to believe that chilies are not indigenous, but introduced to Thailand by the Portuguese in the 16th century.</p>\n<p>There is lots of chili varieties used in Thai cooking and they use different ones to match different dishes. The much used tiny bird\'s eye chili (phrik kee ngoo; mouse droppings) is famous for its heat, the Thais say it gives them power and strength. Long, or sky-pointing, red, green or yellow chilies are milder and are used in salads, stir-fries and curries, especially in northern Thailand were dishes are less scorching.</p>\n<p>Dried chilies are also used to gives a more mellow taste to dishes, they are soaked in hot water to soften and used in Thai curry pastes, very similar to some Indian techniques. While dishes containing fresh green chilies tend to be cooked for a shorter time to keep flavors fresh, red curries made with dried red chilies are cooked a little longer to give a nutty, spicy taste and fragrance.</p>\n<h3>Influence of Thai royalty</h3>\n<p>The contribution of the royal court to the cooking of Thai food is perhaps more significant than in any other nation. Thai royalty, by using food as a status symbol to set themselves apart from their agricultural society, elevated the art of cooking to high culture and encouraged immense creativity among Thai cooks. It was thus the aristocracy who mainly recorded Thai recipes, with even kings penning their own cook books.</p>\n<p>Royal cuisine has, despite this, always been surprisingly similar to the food eaten by the majority of the population, the biggest difference being the quality of produce and exquisite presentation. Elegant, subtle and refined, this Thai cuisine tends to be served as part of a multi-course affair, the emphasis on smaller portions and beautiful fruit and vegetable carving, an art form passed down from the royal court to the humblest Thai in a village.</p>\n<p>Tom yum kung as a whole dish is hard to trace. The origin of adding prawns, there is no evidence where a Thai spicy soup with prawns originates from.</p>\n<p>We can write about many aspects of tom yum, including its medical properties, written historical evidence from poems and songs and some of the first Thai cook books, Thai royal court, religion, and the Sukhothai to Ratthanakosia periods (1157 to present)</p>\n<p>In the case of Thai cuisine, the formation of the culinary form came about in a landscape dominated by the culture of the central Thais, and led by their aristocratic elites. Two factors played an important part in this formulation; first, the social dynamic of Thai settlement, and secondly, the emergence of Bangkok as a political and cultural center of Siam following the fall of Ayutthaya (Old Thai capital) in 1767.</p>\n<p>Thai cuisine has been influenced by Indian curry and Chinese stir- frying techniques. In fact traditional curry pastes and Thai cuisine has its own culinary style and the most complex and refined in Asia. Thai cuisine today can be divided into seven subsidiary variations. Six of these are distinguishable regional variations, Northern or (Lanna), North-Eastern or (Isan), Eastern, Sothern, Central Plains and Bangkok. The seventh variation is the Royal Court Cuisine.</p>\n<p>The culture of food responds to major political happenings, changes in the territorial order of regimes, great discoveries, the outcome of wars, and the triumphs and defeats of countries.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the read.

This was facilitated by an eloquent and knowledgeable supervisor of schools that hosted the seminar. Actually, the seminar was given to teacher applicants who intend to land a job in Nonthaburi private schools and to Thai administrators whose schools use the said module too. I was glad I had the opportunity to be a participant for I learned a lot from it.</p>\n<h3>\"Framework\"</h3>\n<p>On the first day, the speaker explained the theoretical framework of the module and presented the steps on how to teach a story using big books. Template making and demonstration followed in the afternoon wherein each participant was given a particular lesson and grade to teach then   executed the said plan utilizing all the materials of the kit. Every demonstrator was critiqued by two supervisors to correct or improve some points to come up with ideal teaching or to highlight the principles of the module subscribed to.</p>\n<p>The 2nd day was lessons on reading and writing especially teaching phonics to enable kindergarten students to read in English. The unique curriculum uses spiraling method so there is overlapping of lessons in every grade level. However, in the implementation, the teacher may raise   the level of difficulty as students go to a higher grade.</p>\n<h3>Language mastery</h3>\n<p>As a result, by the time students finish primary grades, they are already able to speak, read, and write in English with ease and confidence. Furthermore, students obtain mastery   because lessons per topic are connected with each other and the teacher doesn\'t go to another lesson unless the class attains 90-100% proficiency. For instance, a story can be learned in a month or two depending on the ability of the class. They subscribe to the idea that learning can be very effective if it is tackled \"slowly but surely.\"</p>\n<p>This method originated from Israel and is being used in ESL schools there and relatively a sizable number of private schools in Thailand especially in Nonthaburi use it. In fact, it gets commendation from the Nonthaburi government because of the schools\' outstanding ratings in inspections/ visitations of education officials.</p>\n<h3>Amazing test pass rate</h3>\n<p>Worth mentioning are the remarkable achievements of their students in district, area, and national level competitions. This module uses colorful and attractive big books of classical stories with accompanying beautiful flash cards, posters, CDs, and teachers\' guide. Users of this module claim that they do not review for O-Net. But every year their O-Net results show a hundred passing and very high percentile marks because their students   are good readers and had acquired skills in    analyzing and understanding questions.</p>\n<p>Look at the strategies they use in teaching a story. For motivation, the cover of the book is studied wherein the students must know the - title, author colors, illustrations/objects seen etc, assessing how much knowledge they know about the story.</p>\n<p>In the first reading, the teacher just reads the text as he/she points to them. In the second reading, the teacher reads the text and points to the pictures as well as act out important words for more understanding of the story. In the third reading, the teacher reads partly the text and the students continue reading the remaining part. Then checking of comprehension follows. Finally, students role play parts or the whole story.</p>\n<h3>Learning through songs</h3>\n<p>Every lesson has accompanying songs in CDs that are lively, simple, and repetitive. There are chants also using the vocabulary words studied in the lesson. Here I learned how they teach a song. First, the song is played while students listen. Secondly, the song is played while the teacher acts out the song. Thirdly, the students sing along with the CD and with action.

I continued to ignore and ignore until the massive turning point at a typical bar in Muang.</p>\n<p>I won\'t go into great detail, but the mistreatment left me in a state of state of animosity and a 6 inch in diameter - wet spot on my bed from the tears of anger. This was reality. The boldest unwelcoming in a country that\'s supposed to be the \"land of smiles.\" All those times in America where I got blank stares from \"white\" Americans is now a microscopic fraction to what I was experiencing and soon to experience all across Thailand.</p>\n<h3>\"Ugliest racism\"</h3>\n<p>Let\'s move forward. Nakhon Si Thammarat. The South...which in most countries always has a reputation of racial divide and segregation between the light and the dark. Granted....in Nakhon Si Thammarat, I\'ve met some marvelously wonderful people, but I\'ve also seen some of the ugliest racism I\'ll probably ever see in my lifetime.</p>\n<p>Student\'s calling me black, a monkey - to deplorably terrible service that comes with all the bad slang in Thai........I witnessed it all. It was the battle of my lifetime to say the least.</p>\n<p>I was denied a job because the foreign teacher (yes, foreign teacher), \"oh, we don\'t accept blacks at this school.\" This came from a foreigner. In addition, I\'ve been told this far too many times from other schools as well - \"we don\'t accept blacks\"</p>\n<h3>And I quote</h3>\n<p>A quick list of what people have said to me this year alone....</p>\n<p>\"If I was him, I would leave...but he\'s probably just saving up money.\"</p>\n<p>\"Why are you still here?\"</p>\n<p>Thai woman said, \"if you don\'t like Thai women, leave this country.\"</p>\n<p>One woman said to me online this past March, \"Ewwwww! Black guy! Low-class! Pimp!\"</p>\n<p>Another one blatantly told me, \"black men are the men I hate the worst.\"</p>\n<h3>Culture</h3>\n<p>When did the disease of racial hatred become imbedded into the minds of Thais?</p>\n<p>Not all, I have met some incredible students and have great partnerships with Thais THAT HAD the opportunity of studying overseas.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, Thailand has never been colonized; therefore, they beat their chest running around saying Thai culture is such a great culture. I\'ve always asked, \"the same culture that isn\'t accepting of black people?\"</p>\n<p>The \"skin\" whitening cream has sent shockwaves across the plains of Thailand for more than a decade and consumerism has gotten much higher in terms of buying these products which they believe will put them above those who have darker skin.</p>\n<h3>\"Genesis\"</h3>\n<p>I always try searching for the genesis. I ask an insane amount of questions and I\'ve gotten ugly responses saying, \"I don\'t give a **** about skin. Stop asking me these dumb questions.\" Again, someone who retorts in an uncivil way has probably dished out a free-flowing cesspool of hate towards blacks of all kinds.</p>\n<p>Now, with that being said, I\'m African American. I\'m from America which I thought was the father of everything in terms of racial discrimination (given the vile history of Willie Lynch and so many others that perpetuated for centuries), but when I got here....everything was a massive punch in the face.</p>\n<p>How Africans are treated within these borders are some of the most sickening, dehumanizing antics one could ever see (stories that I won\'t even mention because it\'s simply soul rupturing). People have told me many times to leave.....I can\'t. Why? They TOLD me that I CAN\'T have it.</p>\n<h3>My personal Everest</h3>\n<p>My friends and everyone ask me \"why do you do it?\" I retort by asking them, \"why does anyone climb Mount Everest? Why do people continue climbing Mount Everest, knowing that their bodies can completely fall apart after 6000-7000 meters which risks the fatality rate past 50%?\"</p>\n<p>Why are there over 200 frozen bodies on Mount Everest? Why did Nelson Mandela give up 26 years of his life? Why did Martin Luther King, alongside Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, James Farmer Jr and Sr and so many other prolific activists march against racial segregation and implemented one of the greatest civil right movements in the history of mankind?</p>\n<p>Purpose. I have to do what it is I\'m suppose to do in achieving success. In anytime during the unfolding of your soul and song, those hard times will come. It\'s not easy.</p>\n<p>It\'s hard going into a school one day and having the head teacher come in and say, \"sorry, we\'re replacing you today because we have a white teacher from Switzerland.\" (Who doesn\'t speak English). These rough times are going to come, and when they do, it\'s important that you keep your mindset rather than seeking revenge.</p>\n<p>The 332nd fighter group (Tuskegee Airmen who were the first African American pilots in the US) didn\'t seek revenge to those who were verbally lashing out at them during WWI. STAY FOCUSED!</p>\n<h3>Be prepared</h3>\n<p>For all African American and African teachers wanting to come to Thailand to pursue a professional career in teaching....just know that this may be the biggest emotional and psychological battle of your professional lives.</p>\n<p>There will be days that you wake up and say \"why me? Why is this happening here? Why in this country?\" You will read stories and be in schools where embassies come in to extract sex offending teachers from the western world out of classrooms in front of students (happens occasionally in Bangkok)....and you will ask yourself, \"wait, and this will be ignored in the news?</p>\n<p>It\'s a tough society, but they don\'t know any better. They can\'t distinguish between brown and black, African and African American, knowledge and perception.</p>\n<p>To wrap this up, I loved a quote from Les Brown, \"what you become during the process is more important than the dream. It\'s far more important. The kind of person you become. The character that you build. The courage you develop. The faith that you manifested. You wake up in the morning and look yourself in the mirror and you\'re a different kind of person. You walk with a different kind of spirit. You\'ve got to have that type of determination and courage. If you wanna make it happen....it\'s you.\"</p>\n<p><strong>Embrace the good</strong></p>\n<p>Since then, I\'ve achieved greatness. I\'ve gotten some students into the top universities in the world. I instilled an insurmountable amount of confidence in some of the most shyest students to the point they were able to initiate conversations with foreigners.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been able to show students the mastery of writing (writing and conversation being my strongest points as a teacher) and they\'ve gotten into the top universities in Thailand.</p>\n<p>You see, a lot of people will dislike you, but a hell of a lot will appreciate you. To see the smiles and reviving of some of my students over the last year was by far the most rewarding experience in my life.</p>\n<p>I had no idea I would be in this position now. Yet, I\'m here and at this highest point in my life after going through some rough times for 18 months.</p>\n<p>I\'m sorry? What was that? You don\'t accept black people at your school?</p>\n<p>That\'s fine. One school\'s loss is hundreds of university/graduate students gain.</p>\n<p><strong>AJ</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/black-teachers-in-thailand/\">Black teachers in Thailand - Does racism exist in The Land of Smiles?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/blkteacher.jpg','2015-11-05 05:26:32',1,'2015-11-05 05:26:32','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30445,85,'Election fever in Myanmar','election-fever','Why I\'m in the dark when it comes to election results','Myanmar\'s recent rapid development has highlighted it\'s own weaknesses, infrastructure being first and foremost of them.','<p>I\'m sitting in the dark with my rechargeable battery powered desk lamp slowly dying. Maybe I can write this blog with the power left on my laptop; maybe not.</p>\n<p>Yangon City has been known for its regular blackouts. Electricity here is unreliable I was told before I moved here 20 months ago. For the first year I was here, this seemed an exaggeration. The power here went out about as much as it did in my previous home, Bangkok.</p>\n<p>In 2015, however, things have gotten worse. Power outages have gotten more frequent and longer lasting. Traffic jams have intensified. Internet connectivity has improved, but it\'s still nowhere near the Singapore-class levels promised by the telecom companies.</p>\n<p>So, in many ways, Myanmar\'s recent rapid development has highlighted it\'s own weaknesses, infrastructure being first and foremost of them.</p>\n<p>Tonight, we will see how the Golden Land is progressing when it comes to another aspect of development: the growth of democracy as an institution.</p>\n<p>On 8 November, Myanmar held it\'s first contested national election since 1990. When the current quasi-civilian gov\'t was given power in 2010, the main opposition party, Aung Sang Suu Kyi\'s NLD, boycotted the elections.</p>\n<p>Yesterday was the first time millions of Myanmar citizens have voted in their lives. I\'ll spare you a complete description of the nation\'s recent political history, but a lot is riding on this election.</p>\n<p>Will Myanmar be considered a democracy (something Thailand can\'t claim at the moment) or will it be a quasi-democracy?</p>\n<p>It\'s the next day, and the whole populace seems to be on pins and needles, awaiting the announcement of the results.</p>\n<p>The Election Commission will be making the results known at 6 PM, Myanmar time. That\'s about 25 minutes from now. There have been some early results already made public. In NLD strongholds like Mandalay, MP (Hluttaw seats) spots were won by NLD with 80% of the popular vote.</p>\n<p>In status-quo dependent places like Nay Pyi Taw, results were conversely dominant for the ruling party, the USDP, also with like a 4 to 1 majority. In Magway, one of the biggest provinces of Myanmar, early results show that the NLD has won every single seat. A full sweep.</p>\n<p>Will the NLD win the 67% majority of MPs they need to form a government and elect the next president? We\'ll find out in about 15 minutes.</p>\n<p>It will all come down to how well the ethnic parties did as a 3rd parties and the vote in Myanmar\'s most populous region, the Ayerwaddy Delta.</p>\n<p>I\'d turn on the TV right now and find out, but as I said, the power remains out.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I also have a YouTube page with lots&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">more stuff about the teaching lifestyle in Myanmar</a></p>','','2015-11-09 15:22:17',1,'2015-11-09 15:22:17','2015-11-10 05:05:18'),(30447,20,'15 reasons to teach English in Thailand','15-reasons-to-teach-english-in-thailand','From gaining work experience to opportunities to travel','Most countries have lots to offer but one of the best places to teach English abroad is definitely Thailand. Here are plenty of reasons why.','<p>People all over the world travel to new countries to teach English. And while each country has lots to offer, one of the best places to teach English abroad is definitely Thailand.</p>\n<p>This small but beautiful country deserves consideration if you are wondering whether or not to teach English, and where exactly you should go. Here are just some of the reasons that Thailand might be the ideal place for you.</p>\n<p><strong>1.	Work Experience</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching abroad in any new country is great work experience. It looks wonderful on a resume, and can improve your chances of getting work in related fields in the future.</p>\n<p>Teaching in Thailand, which has a unique education system, will give you the chance to try teaching in a new way, and evaluate your own approach to teaching. As such, teaching in Thailand will broaden your horizons as a teacher, and give you a feel for alternative education methods.</p>\n<p>You\'ll also get to work with children of all ages, and develop a sense of what age group you most prefer to work with.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Beautiful weather</strong></p>\n<p>Much of  Thailand is tropical rain forest, and the country is famed for its hot, sunny weather. If you live in a cold climate and just can\'t imagine living through one more winter, then maybe teaching in Thailand is a good alternative option.</p>\n<p>The warm weather means you can leave your parka and boots and home, but don\'t forget that it does rain sometimes in Thailand! Mostly, though, the weather is idyllic, hot, and beautiful.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	Culture</strong></p>\n<p>Thai culture is unlike any other in the world. The food is amazing and very affordable. The country boasts Buddhist temples, bustling cities, beautiful countryside, and gorgeous beaches.</p>\n<p>Thailand is known for its culture of dance, as well as hospitality, and there are dozens of annual festivals and holidays to take part in. Thai art and architecture is also fascinating and unique, and deserves attention: get familiar with Thai sculpture, wall-painting, and amazing temple architecture.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Meet new people</strong></p>\n<p>Most institutions that hire English teachers in Thailand do so through group programs or schools, so you\'ll likely be working with lots of other English-speakers in Thailand.</p>\n<p>You\'ll get to know these colleagues well, and spend lots of time with them. They\'ll become fast friends, both during your time in Thailand, and even after you return home. And you can be sure that they are just as adventurous and curious as you are - they\'re in Thailand too, after all!</p>\n<p><strong>5.	Opportunity to Travel</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand is the central hub of Southeast Asia. This means that once in Thailand, it\'s a cinch to travel to other fantastic destinations, like India, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China, to name a few. So not only will you be living in an exciting new country, but you\'ll also be able to visit other fascinating places during your time in Thailand.</p>\n<p>It\'s a perfect location for world travelers who want to really explore many different countries and their cultures. And because Thailand is so affordable, you\'ll be able to justify treating yourself to a few excursions outside of the country as a break from all your hard work.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	Wonderful students</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand boasts some of the most hospitable, friendly people in the world, and your students will be no exception. Thai children start school at a very young age, so most students are very familiar with the routine of school and know exactly what is expected of them.</p>\n<p>Respect for elders is a mainstay of Thai culture, so you likely won\'t spend much time on discipline: instead, you can get down to the fun stuff, like exciting activities, new lessons, excursions, and games.</p>\n<p><strong>7.	Public holidays</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand has nearly double the number of public holidays that the UK has, so when you\'re feeling in need of a break, you will have plenty of opportunity to take off for a little vacation to a neighbouring country, or kick back and relax in</p>\n<p>Thailand while you enjoy the local celebration of a festival or holiday. This way, you can work hard during the school year, knowing you\'ll have plenty of holiday time on your days off.</p>\n<p><strong>8.	Island paradise</strong></p>\n<p>Thailand has mile after mile of gorgeous beaches, beautiful tropical rain forest, and stunning mountain vistas to enjoy. Elephant and tiger sanctuaries make for a fun trip. You can take in beautiful scenery just about anywhere: even in Bangkok, the country\'s bustling metropolis, the countryside is never too far away.</p>\n<p>Thailand is also full of rivers, which offer a relaxing and lovely way to travel and see the sights: rafting or paddling down one of Thailand\'s many waterways is an ideal way to spend an afternoon.</p>\n<p><strong>9.	Good job market</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching in Thailand gives you experience in a good job market, where there is plenty of demand for your skill set.</p>\n<p>Being able to teach students from all different backgrounds and experiences set you up for success in future career goals, whether as a teacher or not. You can work hard and be creative in your job, knowing that you have security in a sometimes unpredictable world.</p>\n<p>English teachers with experience teaching abroad have good chances of landing good jobs in countries outside of Thailand as well, but you\'ll definitely be in high demand in Thailand, as much of the country is eager to learn English.</p>\n<p><strong>10.	Income</strong></p>\n<p>While most English teachers living abroad make a reasonable living, those living in Thailand are especially lucky.</p>\n<p>Thailand is one of the most affordable countries to live in when it comes to housing, transportation, and food. On a teacher\'s salary in Thailand, the average person can live very comfortably, and still come home with savings in their pockets.</p>\n<p>Working in Thailand is a great option for those looking to make a good living and have a fair bit of extra left over when all is said and done.</p>\n<p><strong>11.	Good preparation for careers</strong></p>\n<p>Anyone keen to work in the fields of education, international affairs, diplomacy, or international aid would do well to spend some time teaching abroad.</p>\n<p>Thailand is an excellent location for this preparation: upon learning about your time teaching English abroad, future employers will see that you\'re adventurous, hard-working, open-minded and proactive.</p>\n<p>It will give you plenty of experience in learning to adjust to a new culture, language, and country, and that flexibility and resourcefulness can serve you very well in a wide number of career options.</p>\n<p><strong>12.	Have a positive influence on others</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching in Thailand allows you to have a positive influence on your students, no matter their age. Your kindness, enthusiasm, hard work and creativity will encourage your students to do their very best. You\'ll set them up for success in their futures as bilingual students and employees as they enter the workforce.</p>\n<p>Who knows where their love of learning and knowledge of English could take them? It is a significant responsibility, but it\'s also deeply satisfying to know that your work has a positive impact on the lives of others.</p>\n<p><strong>13.	Learn a new language</strong></p>\n<p>The language spoken in Thailand is Thai, and it uses its own unique script. While this is sometimes difficult to work around, in time you\'ll develop good fluency in language, and be able to engage with your neighbours, your students, and new friends you meet with ease.</p>\n<p>Any language student can tell you that learning a language in a classroom is a lot harder than being immersed in the language everyday for long periods of time, so in no time you\'ll be comfortable conversing in Thai, and navigating restaurant menus, bus schedules, or street signs.</p>\n<p><strong>14.	Live outside your comfort zone</strong></p>\n<p>It\'s true that the first few weeks of living in a new place can be scary, and sometimes downright stressful. But in just a little while, you\'ll come to feel right at home in Thailand, thanks to the hospitable nature of the locals. Besides, it\'s good for us to live outside our comfort zones and push ourselves to try new things. When you look back on your time in Thailand, you\'ll marvel at all the things you achieved and accomplished that you never thought possible.</p>\n<p><strong>15.	Friendly people</strong></p>\n<p>I\'ve mentioned it several times already, but it\'s worth mentioning again: the Thai people are among the world\'s friendliest folks. Meeting new people is easy in Thailand: your neighbours will greet you, your fellow teachers will be welcoming, and most of the people you encounter day-to-day are equally friendly and hospitable.</p>\n<p>In no time at all, you\'ll have lots of new friends and acquaintances to help you feel at home in Thailand.</p>\n<p>So while at first it might seem like a pretty serious change (and yes, it is) and an impossible transition to move to Thailand to teach English, you may find that it\'s one of the best decisions you ever made. It\'s a big decision, and deserves careful thought and consideration, but teaching English in Thailand is definitely one option worth really thinking about to set yourself up for a great future, to learn a lot, to push yourself and boost your confidence, and have the adventure of a lifetime.</p>\n<p><strong>Kevin Aguirre Rodriguez</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Hello my name is Kevin and I am an English and Spanish Teacher&nbsp; in  Germany.

Try not to have to spend 12,000+ THB on visa application fees like I did. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.','<p>Some of you may remember my rant a month or so ago <a href=\"/blogs/sam-thompson/a-visa-to-the-states-or-not\">about having the US Embassy in Bangkok deny my fianc&eacute; a tourist visa</a>, refusing to look at any of her paperwork she had meticulously prepared due to her not having MY passport with her.</p>\n<p>I\'m still mad about that. Luckily, she got approved for a 10 year tourist visa her second time round.</p>\n<p>How\'d she do it?</p>\n<p>1) She had my passport. <br />2) She got a guy who didn\'t happen to be in the world\'s worst mood and/or a complete prick. <br />3) That\'s it.</p>\n<p>Note here that we both spent hours getting all of the documents in order (again), including a nicely typed and signed cover sheet outlining said documents. However, the *only* thing the officer looked at was... my passport.</p>\n<p>Apparently the officer glanced at my work permit and even more quickly glanced at her employment letter (we\'re talking a half-second here), but the only thing the officer halfway scrutinized was my passport. The deciding factor: judging by the many stamps in my passport, yep, I (the accompanying US citizen) have travelled, so I\'m probably not going to try to move her to the States with me. Great logic.</p>\n<p>Her appointment was for 7:15 a.m. on a Tuesday (I recommended she not do another Monday as hangovers are more likely on that day), and she was out by 8:00 a.m. with a note saying she\'d get her passport in the mail with her 10 year tourist visa within three days. In fact, the officer tried to get her to start the ball rolling for a fianc&eacute; visa and/or a green card. She declined. Contrast this with the exact same time schedule/scenario last time she tried, yet with a rejection notice.</p>\n<p>So, if you\'re in the same boat as me and want to take your significant other (or a friend) for a visit to the States, how can you get a visa? The honest answer: luck. It is 100% up to the officer, and there is no argument once you\'ve paid the fee.</p>\n<p>That said, I can recommend a quick list of what we included in her monstrous \"packet of proof\" that the officer never looked at, based on a formal cover letter (which I also prepared) from a friend of mine who also took his lovely lady to visit the States several years ago.</p>\n<p>Will this be sufficient to get a visa? Who knows. Conceptually, though, it\'s a start.<br />&emsp;<br /><strong>Documents from the Thai citizen (starting with a formal cover letter outlining all of this):</strong></p>\n<p>1.	Completed application form (currently DS-160 for us)<br />2.	Copy of front page of passport <br />3.	Copy of flight itineraries (round-trip; I already had these, but I\'m dubious here... it\'s a Catch-22. Without tickets, you may be denied. Buy the tickets return trip before applying for the visa to prove your intentions, but you may still be denied and forfeit the dough.) <br />4.	Letter of invitation from someone Stateside offering room and board (or you)<br />5.	Letter of employment in Thailand<br />6.	Copy of payroll slips<br />7.	Copy of cover page from a primary account bankbook<br />8.	Copy of mortgage commitment or other larger property commitments<br />9.	Assorted pictures verifying friendship</p>\n<p><strong>Document from you (the US citizen)</strong></p>\n<p>1.	Copy of and physical copies of passport front page and current Thai work permit (*in our case, it was proof that I have travelled places besides Thailand recently that was all they were looking for-passport stamps)<br />2.	Letter confirming employment in Thailand (a contract with a clear end date)<br />3.	Copy of payroll slips from (3 months)<br />4.	Copy of cover page from Thai bankbooks</p>\n<p>Again, don\'t take this as &lsquo;the guide to getting a US visa.\' Let me reiterate: it is completely up to the whim of the officer you get.</p>\n<p>There are probably officers that actually look at paperwork. There are definitely those that won\'t. There are probably those that will scrutinize every detail of everything submitted, likely based solely on the appearance of the applicant.</p>\n<p>My advice? Try not to have to spend 12,000+ THB on visa application fees like I did. Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

I am prepared to savor that bite, but the whole thing feels rather anticlimactic.</p>\n<p>According to Thai superstition, you are supposed to break the Jae Fest with chicken for good luck. Yet, chicken doesn\'t taste much different than tofu. Where are the Jae powers I was supposed to have? I sure don\'t feel like putting a sword through my cheek right now.</p>\n<p>I decided to \"gin jae\" for the 10 day Jae Festival with some Thai friends of mine. I had been interested in eating plant-based food for a couple of years, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity.</p>\n<h3>The rules</h3>\n<p>To \"gin jae\" means that one not only avoids meat, dairy, honey, or eggs, but also abstain from alcohol, garlic, onions, and sometimes coffee (I broke this rule, provided it was vegan coffee; many coffee beans in Thailand are ostensibly roasted in butter).</p>\n<p>The idea is not to eat any foods that cause destruction to life or cause \"intense emotions.\"</p>\n<p>Why garlic is banned but ginger and chili are okay is beyond me. Still, if I was going to do this, I was going to do it right, so I had to obey the arbitrary rules.</p>\n<h3>\"Healthier\"</h3>\n<p>At first, I enjoyed the whole process. I felt healthier, more adventurous, and constantly excited to try new things. I thought it would be difficult to find jae food in Thailand, but given the large presence of Chinese Mahayana Buddhists in Bangkok, it wasn\'t hard at all.</p>\n<p>Everywhere I looked I saw yellow signs indicating that jae food was served. I tried the EmQuartier food court for the first time and found that it was actually pretty good; my meal of pumpkin and laab tofu was delicious.</p>\n<p>I even found that the fake meats they use in Thailand are decent. They\'re usually made with beans or tofu rather than more processed soy products.</p>\n<h3>Difficult to find</h3>\n<p>Still, I soon found that though it is easy to find jae food during the festival in Bangkok, it is not always easy to find jae food when I prefer to eat. Since I often didn\'t finish work until 8 or 9pm, finding jae restaurants open was not easy.</p>\n<p>Once, I had to resort to eating jae instant noodles from 7-11. As the days moved on, I began to miss garlic greatly and grow sick of the textures of the fake meats used in many dishes. But I had made up my mind to do this, so I couldn\'t quit. And I somehow made it through 10 &frac12; days.</p>\n<h3>A vegan now?</h3>\n<p>Have I learned anything from the experience? Not really. I know that I will never give up garlic again if I don\'t have to. I realized how important eggs and meat stock are in the flavors of many dishes. And I know I will always crave seafood.</p>\n<p>I suppose I couldn\'t be vegan full time. I would have no problem giving up meat and dairy, which would be great for the environment and my health. However, giving up eggs and fish would not be possible for me, at least not yet.</p>\n<p>Should I try to go vegan or vegetarian? I\'m not sure. It\'s certainly not a good thing to cause the suffering of animals, and perhaps I\'ll make a real go of giving up dairy and meat (even fish) when I\'m back in the US.</p>\n<p>But while I\'m in Asia, I will continue to enjoy all of the sensory pleasures presented to me, and I will never turn down the hospitality of well meaning hosts and street vendors, who always offer so much and are so proud of the food they serve their guests, despite living with so few material comforts themselves.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2015-11-15 02:26:06',1,'2015-11-15 02:26:06','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30455,21,'The ajarn.com quiz','the-ajarn.com-quiz','Have you got what it takes to be a teacher in Thailand?','Why should women\'s magazines have all the fun?

Your enthusiasm may well end up getting the better of you.<br />Sometimes it\'s best to leave things as they are... not everything can be fixed.<br />Also... be careful that you don\'t burn yourself out. Pace your energy and take time for yourself.</p>\n<p><strong>Mostly Bs...</strong></p>\n<p>You are a total git.<br />Not only that but you\'re a dangerous and annoying git. You shouldn\'t be in a classroom at all.<br />But you are and that\'s they way it is.<br />I\'d tell you that you are disliked by almost everyone at the school but the chances are you already know that and don\'t care.</p>\n<p><strong>Mostly Cs...</strong></p>\n<p>Oh, I say... well done. You\'ve figured it all out.<br />You\'ve got the mix right between attending to the needs of your employers and the needs of yourself.<br />Not only that, you have acquired the political savvy to get your own way almost all the time without causing any offense.<br />You are popular because you rarely cause any kind of friction.<br />There was some doubt about you when they first hired you, but now they love you - and you have a job for life.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/thumbsup.jpg','2015-11-15 18:56:31',1,'2015-11-15 18:56:31','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30463,90,'Playing sport in Thailand','playing-sport-in-thailand','What opportunities exist to keep fit?','When I lived in England I used to play football once a week and have the occasional round of golf but I thought those days were over when I moved to Thailand. However, the exact opposite is true, Thailand offers you the chance to play lots of different sports, live a healthy lifestyle and meet new people.','<p>When I lived in England I used to play football once a week and have the occasional round of golf but I thought those days were over when I moved to Thailand. However, the exact opposite is true, Thailand offers you the chance to play lots of different sports, live a healthy lifestyle and meet new people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher your students will ask you to join in during your lunch break or even after school. You will learn new games like chairball and Takraw as well as play popular games like volleyball and football.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For around 400 Baht a week I play sport 3 or 4 times. I want to show you how much it costs and the sports you can play here.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Badminton</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Badminton is one of the most popular sports in Thailand. There are numerous badminton courts and at around 100 - 150 Baht per hour per court it is a great, cheap way to get a workout.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s a sport I played at school and is actually quite easy to pick-up and play again. Another benefit is that it\'s a sport which can be played by men and women together. You can buy a cheap racket for around 400 Baht or rent at around 30 Baht a time.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Football</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Football is huge in Thailand. People love watching football and most people\'s first question to me is \"which team do you support? \"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I spent my childhood running around muddy pitches but I thought those days would be over in Bangkok. Well I guess the muddy pitch part is but there are lots of opportunities to play football here.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>5 and 7 a side football is popular and there are many 3G football pitches which cost around 1,500 Baht an hour so about 100 - 150 per person.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also Takraw is a football based game using a small wicker football where the idea is to stop it hitting the floor and to hit it over a net (think volleyball meets football).</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Swimming</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Some condos and housing estates have swimming pools for their residents. These might be free or you might have to pay a fee (more likely for sports clubs in housing estates). My old housing estate charged around 500 Baht a month for unlimited access to the swimming pool.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also if you are lucky enough to live near the sea or a lake then you can enjoy swimming in beautiful surroundings.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Gym</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If you live in a condo you may well have your own fitness centre. Although it may not be world class it does give you the opportunity to work out and stay in shape.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many places have treadmills, bikes and free weights as well as mats.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From international chains to local fitness centres there are also many private gyms you can join. These gyms range from a bargain 30 Baht per session to 3,000 a month. The more expensive places offer fantastic facilities and service you would expect from back home but they are very expensive.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have a local gym where I live which charges 30 baht per session and is actually well stocked with decent equipment but no air conditioning.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Golf</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Playing golf in Thailand can be cheap if you know when and where to play. Also walking around for 4 hours is great exercise.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The green fee and caddie fee can be as low as 900 Baht if you play on the midweek sport days. For this money you get a half decent course and probably an unhelpful caddie. If you want to play at one of the more famous courses expect to pay around 2-4,000 Baht which admittedly isn\'t so much of a bargain but not unreasonable for the quality.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The other option is to hit the driving range where 100 balls will cost around 100 Baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Muay Thai (Thai Boxing)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The national sport of Thailand is famous around the world. A Martial art which takes years to master, it is becoming increasingly popular due to the success of the UFC and other MMA events.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although it is a combat sport with potential injuries numerous people move to Thailand with the main goal being to train and fight. There are options for training such as a fitness based regime ( no fighting) or a full intense schedule with the goal of entering the ring in a famous stadium.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Private sessions start at around 200 Baht an hour with discounts being given for multiple hours. I know people who live at their gym and have daily lessons which costs around 15,000 a month for a basic setup.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Finding People to Play With</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So now you need some people to play with. This can be difficult as I found out when I first arrived. Playing football with your students is ok but maybe you want to play sport to socialize. I think your best opportunity is with your colleagues and maybe other people who live in your building.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I play badminton with my girlfriend once a week and with my work colleagues on another night. My language school does a football trip every 2 weeks where about 30 of us play - a mixture of students and staff.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I play golf maybe every 2 months and normally go alone and get paired up with other people. Most of my friends don\'t like golf but I guess there are expat golf clubs out there if you want to play with others.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So as you can see there are lots of sports you can play here. There are also many expat clubs which offer sports such as cricket, rugby and hockey.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should be excited about living in Thailand and the sports opportunities are another benefit - I certainly feel healthier living here than in the UK!</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

For today\'s cultural topic, I\'ve chosen the Thai inability to throw things away, to have a good sort out, to put old and unwanted items in the dustbin. Frankly, I\'ve never seen a people who are such serial hoarders of junk.</p>\n<p>My mother-in-law (God bless her, she\'s a fine lady) is a prime example. Walk into her living room and there are old newspapers piled from floor to ceiling. There are shoe-racks with footwear that hasn\'t been worn by the owner since they left home twenty years ago. And at the last count there were three television sets - one of which is working (albeit with a grainy picture) and two that have been broken and in need of repair since The Ayutthaya Period.</p>\n<p>One day I dared to ask why she felt the need to stockpile so many old newspapers. \"I use them to clean the windows\" she replied. If that was the case, and taking into account the number of windows, then I reckon she had a fifty-year supply sitting right there in the living room.</p>\n<h3>Oh, the clutter!</h3>\n<p>One of my favourite things is to walk down local sois on some of the nearby housing estates and just gaze in awe at the clutter in people\'s front yards. There is barely an inch of floor space not covered with oily motorcycle spares, broken water pumps, old refrigerators and air-conditioners, children\'s toys, empty rabbit hutches and of course the ubiquitous fifty pairs of unwanted footwear now festering in an ungainly pile.</p>\n<p>I suppose for a Thai, I\'m the very worst kind of farang to marry - and I take my hat off to my wife, who has had much to put up with, it must be said.</p>\n<p>I\'m at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to keeping things orderly. My pursuit of tidiness borders on OCD. I rearrange food tins in the cupboard so the labels are all facing the same way. And go on, take a quick peek in the fridge. I guarantee that you\'ll never see a tidier vegetable drawer or salad crisper.</p>\n<p>I just can\'t tolerate mess. And I can\'t tolerate hoarding junk for the sake of it either.</p>\n<h3>Rummaging through closets</h3>\n<p>Nowhere is the contrast between our lifestyles more emphasized than in our wardrobes. Open my closet and you\'ll see an orderly line of t-shirts, dress shirts and polos, all arranged on wooden hangers and with the same regulation space between each garment to allow them to &lsquo;breathe\' (I might get carted off to the funny farm for writing this)</p>\n<p>Open my wife\'s closet and your immediate reaction is to clasp your head in both hands like Munch\'s &lsquo;Scream\' and say &lsquo;how can you possibly live like this?\' Jackets hanging sloppily on out-of-shape plastic hangers fight for space with blouses and t-shirts. Most of her clothes just get stuffed into tight-fitting drawers. And don\'t get me started on handbags.</p>\n<p>About twice a year, I\'ll make an audacious suggestion that we have a &lsquo;good old sort-out\' and donate our unwanted items to charity. There is a shop in the nearby Paradise Park Shopping Mall that takes in your old goods and sells them on with all the proceeds going to a Bangkok orphanage. It\'s a worthy cause that we always like to support as best we can.</p>\n<h3>\'De-clutter\'</h3>\n<p>I welcome these opportunities to &lsquo;de-clutter\' my life. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than having less stuff to worry about - and we all have far too much &lsquo;stuff\' don\'t we?</p>\n<p>My brother in England is also a fanatical &lsquo;de-clutterer\'. He has an interesting and ruthless approach when it comes to deciding whether an article of clothing is &lsquo;a keeper\' or &lsquo;a chucker\'. He always says that if you haven\'t worn something for a whole 12 months, then it\'s unlikely you\'ll ever wear it again. So into the big plastic bin-bag it goes.</p>\n<p>I doubted this approach for a long time but I\'ve slowly realized it makes perfect sense. If you haven\'t worn an item of clothing for 12 months, then there\'s a perfectly good reason why you don\'t like it. Perhaps, you just won\'t admit it to yourself.</p>\n<h3>Purge</h3>\n<p>The last time we made a trip to the orphanage charity shop, I had the purge to end all purges. I filled three large garbage bags with books that I know I will never read again. Yes, I know books look nice in a bookcase (all arranged in order of size of course) but I have a Kindle with about a hundred titles that I\'m either half-way through or haven\'t even started reading yet. I don\'t even have enough years left on the planet to finish them.</p>\n<p>Ditto DVDs. I started going through my extensive collection of DVD movies. When was the last time I sat down and watched my Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry box set? 10 years ago? Maybe longer. I\'ve got 150 downloaded movies on an external hard-drive that I never seem to get an opportunity to watch. What chance has the Dirty Harry box set got?</p>\n<p>No, I came to the conclusion that the movies and books were just gathering dust and taking up valuable house-room. To the charity shop they went.</p>\n<h3>Piles of stuff</h3>\n<p>My wife doesn\'t find letting go of stuff quite so easy. She\'ll sort clothes into three piles - 1) don\'t want, 2) possibly keep and 3) definitely keep. Pile number one starts off as easily the smallest. All I can see in my mind are the sad faces of orphans. By the time she\'s finished, all of pile number two (the possibles) have joined pile number three (the definite keepers) and the charity pile has somehow become even smaller.</p>\n<p>Any attempts on my part to assist her with the sorting process are futile. I\'ll hold up a handbag that she last carried when she was a girl guide and say something stupid like \"surely you don\'t want this anymore?\" I\'m just trying to be helpful. I know how attached the female of the species get to shoes and handbags. Alas, my wife sees any intrusion as an invasion of her personal space and I\'m usually rewarded with a kick up the arse before being shoved out of the door.</p>\n<p>But I don\'t care. I know I\'ve done my bit for charity and I can breathe a sigh of contentment that comes with knowing that I\'ve got less of that useless clutter in my life. Plus, if I ever need to buff up the window-panes, I know where there\'s an inexhaustible supply of old newspapers and somewhere in Bangkok, there are orphans walking around fixing each other with a fierce scowl and saying \"Go on punk. Make my day\"</p>','','2015-11-25 23:10:59',1,'2015-11-25 23:10:59','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30476,74,'My take on dual pricing in Thailand','my-take-on-dual-pricing-in-thailand','There are some battles you will never win','Few aspects of living in Thailand seem to grind a long term expat\'s gears quite like the dual pricing system. ','<p>Few aspects of living in Thailand seem to grind a long term expat\'s gears quite like the dual pricing system.</p>\n<p>Not that you needed reminding but the dual pricing system is the apparently &lsquo;evil practice\' of charging someone double or three times more than a local to enter a national park, shrine, tourist attraction, amusement park, etc, purely on the basis of them being a foreigner.</p>\n<p>We see these rules enforced at numerous places all over the country and very often the approach to charging higher entrance fees to foreigners is none too subtle. The admission price for a non-Thai might be clearly stated in English, whereas the local price is written in Thai. If those who contribute to expat discussion forums are to be believed, then this is nothing but a further way to antagonize and deceive.</p>\n<h3>Recent incident</h3>\n<p>Dual pricing in Thailand came under the spotlight again this week but this time it didn\'t concern a national park or a tourist attraction. In an angry letter to a local newspaper, one elderly expat recounted the tale of him purchasing a senior citizens pass for the Bangkok BTS system - only to be told at a later stage (by an over-officious employee) that the pass could only be used by locals and the expat was to some extent &lsquo;cheating the system\'.</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure which upset the expat more - the fact that a poorly-trained member of the ticketing staff had sold him a rail-pass that he clearly wasn\'t entitled to - or the fact that he couldn\'t ride the BTS for the same price as a local of the same age.</p>\n<p>It\'s this whole &lsquo;one rule for them and one rule for us\' thing that has expats spitting blood.</p>\n<h3>My attitude to dual pricing</h3>\n<p>I realize I am probably part of a silent minority here but when it comes to dual pricing in Thailand, I couldn\'t care less.</p>\n<p>For starters, I only encounter these issues once a year at most on the few occasions I venture outside Bangkok for a long weekend away. It doesn\'t happen often enough to lose sleep over.</p>\n<p>If Thailand wants to charge more for foreigners to stroll around a temple then I really don\'t see the problem. It\'s their country. They make the rules. I\'m just a guest here.</p>\n<p>I cringe when I see the line \"well if you don\'t like it, then go home\" (as you do on many expat forum threads on dual pricing) - but is there truly a better answer? And to that I would add, for those who say \"you would never see dual pricing in (insert name of country) then perhaps Thailand - and some of its more questionable laws - is not for you.</p>\n<h3>Opinions</h3>\n<p>There are many sides to the dual pricing argument. My wife for example is a fierce opponent of the practice. \"Everyone should pay the same price - foreign, Thai, rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief\" And I\'ve heard many other Thais say the same thing (usually those who are married or in long-term relationships with expats)</p>\n<p>Some time ago, I chatted at length with a group of my wife\'s colleagues and asked them for their opinions. Nearly all of them considered the dual pricing system to be &lsquo;a benefit\' for the local Thai people rather than a deliberate attempt to extort more money out of a foreigner.  None of those people I questioned were married to an expat I might add.</p>\n<h3>The penny drops</h3>\n<p>Dual pricing used to bother me considerably more than it does now - but only because a long time ago, I had something of a eureka moment.</p>\n<p>It was during one of the first trips my parents made to Thailand, accompanied by another couple who they were friendly with at the time. So I was playing the role of streetwise host to a group of four.</p>\n<p>I forget exactly where we were but we\'d hired a minibus and driver from a tour agency in Chiang Mai and the driver arranged a two-day schedule for us aimed at taking in the best of the local attractions at a leisurely pace.</p>\n<p>After the essential hill-tribe village and the long climb up a mountain to tick off a temple and admire some views, we stopped off at a waterfall. The driver left us to our own devices and climbed into the back of his van for a snooze.</p>\n<p>The sign at the entrance to the waterfall confirmed my worst fears - 10 baht for Thais and a whopping 40 baht for foreigners! We would have to pay four times the price of a local to view a waterfall that would probably be nothing more than an ambitious stream anyway.</p>\n<h3>Keeping the harmony</h3>\n<p>I wasn\'t standing for any of that nonsense. I explained to the woman at the ticket office that I had lived and worked in Thailand for several years and while they could go ahead and fleece my tour group for the inflated admission fee, I was only willing to pay the local price.</p>\n<p>But I forgot two important things. Firstly, the woman at the ticket office had heard this argument a thousand times before. Her glazed expression gave it away. She didn\'t give a fiddler\'s whatsit. \"You farang. You pay 40 baht. End of story\"</p>\n<p>Secondly, while I stood there frothing at the mouth, pissing my pants and threatening to write furious letters to The Bangkok Post, my small tour group looked on with great concern. And it dawned on me that the only thing I was succeeding in was to effectively ruin everyone\'s day.</p>\n<p>My tour group had seen the sign saying that they would have to pay four times more than a local. Their reaction was to shrug their shoulders and say \"why not? What\'s the problem? We\'re on holiday\"</p>\n<p>And when you look at things another way - what right did I have to spoil everyone\'s day?</p>\n<p>I should have adopted the same attitude but decided to become a self-appointed crusader for farang rights in Thailand - and make myself look an arsehole into the bargain.</p>\n<p>Accept that there are some battles you will never win.</p>','','2015-11-29 18:28:34',1,'2015-11-29 18:28:34','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30477,59,'Individualized instruction','individualized-instruction','How to \'reward\' students who finish work on time',' If I have the opportunity to individualize my teaching, I do it. I will call one student to my seat, check his/her work, make the student change his/her answer when it is wrong, and receive extra work or reward.','<p>Having been used to teaching students in bigger classes, I would require   everyone to pay attention to me whenever I taught.</p>\n<h3>\'Teacher-centred\'</h3>\n<p>I would demand students to give me all their eyes and ears to make them learn effectively from me. I was teacher-centered and I got so irritated with the little distraction they would make. I felt I was a security guard checking on every student\'s behavior such that I felt so tired and frustrated at the end of the day when I failed to accomplish my goals.</p>\n<p>When I taught in a private school in Chiangmai, I had the opportunity to handle kindergarten 1 and 2 students in the English program. They were so adorable 3 and 4-year-olds with very low attention span and were quite difficult to sustain their interest. So wanting to be effective with these kinds of kids, I thought of better ways of handling and teaching them. One time my assistant teacher was teaching our students one by one. I noticed our students were doing well and I told myself, why not try it too.</p>\n<p>So one day, I tried giving task to the class. While the rest of the students were working I called individual students to work with me. It was very relaxing. The class was very busy and quiet and the student I worked with was focused on what I asked him/her to do.</p>\n<h3>Good ideas</h3>\n<p>So when I left that school, I brought this idea with me.  I did it whenever my students had oral recitation, when they copied something, when they were doing seatwork, or when I spotted a number of students needing individual assistance.</p>\n<p>I would provide coloring or writing activities which students would do while I worked with someone.  In other occasions I would assign those who finished their work to play word games, play interactive games on my touch screen computer, or simply watch an English video. In fact most students were encouraged to finish their work so that they could do what their fast classmates were doing.</p>\n<h3>Benefits to students</h3>\n<p>Individualized instruction meets the needs of individual students. With it, a large number of students are benefitted and are given the necessary treatment and assistance especially those with special needs. When special students\' needs are addressed they feel a sense of accomplishment.</p>\n<p>With advance students, they   get the feeling of success too and so overwhelmed doing other activities as a reward for accomplishing the task ahead of time Because of this, disciplinary problems are minimized. Why? It\'s because everybody is busy. One more thing, students know immediately the result of their work.</p>\n<h3>Individualizing</h3>\n<p>I have been privileged to handle small classes with 17 students as the biggest and 6 as the smallest. So, if I have the opportunity to individualize my teaching, I do it.

So, did we make the right decision?</p>\n<p>I\'d have to say... yes. Keeping in mind that we opted to go for an older condo versus the quite new one we were renting before\'</p>\n<p>So here are a few pros and cons:</p>\n<h3>Pros (our purchased older condo)</h3>\n<p>- THICK WALLS! I\'m talking about Thai-style karaoke parties with surround sound speakers and a subwoofer-thick. No noise complaints yet, ever, as opposed to frequently at our rented (newer) condo.</p>\n<p>- Freedom to decorate. Ok, this is more my fianc&eacute;\'s department, but we never feel like we\'re throwing money away if we want to change something. We think of it as \"investing.\" (ha)</p>\n<p>- More peaceful environment. Keep in mind this is specific to our condo, as we chose a condo a bit off of the main thoroughfares, but not hearing constant traffic is surprisingly nice.</p>\n<p>- The exact same monthly payment for 3x the size. We now have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and 3 balconies to move around on and in. It just feels a bit more like a home.</p>\n<p>- The ability to grill! Seriously, my cheap grill/bbq (2,000 baht, or roughly 60USD) has changed my life.</p>\n<h3>Cons</h3>\n<p>- Condo fees. When renting, I wasn\'t responsible for the bi-annual condo association fees. Well, at roughly 12,000 baht every six months, I certainly am now.<br /> <br />- Building management. Again, specific to our case, our older condo development just doesn\'t have motivated management in terms of community upkeep. The pool, while tolerable, is in bad need of repair, as is the gym. This is in sharp contrast to the Lumpini development we used to rent.</p>\n<p>- Motorbike = requirement. Specific to our location, granted, but we\'re not on any major road now; it\'s either drive a motorbike (or car), or get a taxi, and if it rains... you can forget about a taxi. The good news though, is it\'s only a 10 minute motorbike ride to the MRT, or slightly longer to the BTS.</p>\n<p>- Tied to the spot (for the moment). I recently started working way on the other end of the BTS line, and although our condo\'s location made sense for me when we bought it, now it simply doesn\'t (for me; it still does for her). Until we can afford to buy investment property, we\'re pretty much tied to this spot... thus tied to jobs and whatnot too.</p>\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\n<p>Overall, for us, the pros far outweigh the cons with all things considered.</p>\n<p>There\'s a lot to be said for not having to worry about messing up the landlord\'s sofa, and it\'s nice to feel like you have a \"home\" rather than \"a nice place to stay\" as I had for years before.</p>\n<p>Sure, on a teacher\'s salary, there are pieces of furniture and some DIY repairs I\'ve been putting off due to budget constraints (hello, anti-pigeon balcony netting), and sure, I only just paid off my credit card from the initial furniture/repair requirements from when we bought the place.</p>\n<p>All that said, if you intend on staying in Bangkok for a while, and don\'t mind the feeling of being tied down, and have the Thai friends and/or financing to do it (...that\'s a lot of ands), it\'s hard to overlook the merits of buying a place of your own.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog. If you would like to get in touch or perhaps&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:samstrozzo@live.com\">e-mail me with a question</a>, I would love to hear from you - All the best, Sam Thompson.</p>','','2015-12-10 01:56:19',1,'2015-12-10 01:56:19','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30493,41,'Who gets the call when their arms are raised?','who-gets-the-call-when-their-arms-are-raised','Which student gets the teacher\'s questions and why?','Here are the different groups of students within a typical class. They are quite distinctive and there\'s not really much of a gray area between them.','<p>There\'s something endearing about a group of youngsters in a classroom that are so desperate to answer a question posed by the teacher, that they use one arm to prop up the other while they wait for the nod.</p>\n<p>I\'m a primary school teacher. I see about 800 kids each week.</p>\n<p>I\'m not trained to do this job and I\'ve simply picked it up as I have gone along.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been teaching for over 25 years and been working at my current school now for five years.</p>\n<p>During the first month or so of teaching the new Prathom 2 class, when school starts in the new year, I quickly establish a few things about the students and group them (in my head) accordingly.</p>\n<p>Sometimes as the years go by, students will shift from group to group and that\'s fine. Hopefully it\'s from a lower group to a higher group.</p>\n<p>So here are the five groups.</p>\n<p>Children who want to learn English and do so quickly.</p>\n<p>Children who want to learn English and do so eventually.</p>\n<p>Children who like the class but not the subject!</p>\n<p>Children who will never in a million years have a use for learning English.</p>\n<p>Children with learning (a language) difficulties.</p>\n<p><strong>Every child falls into one of these groups.</strong></p>\n<p>A word or two about each group, first...</p>\n<h3>Children who want to learn English and do so quickly.</h3>\n<p>This group is almost all girls with a couple of swotty boys thrown in.</p>\n<p>They focus their eagle eyes on everything you do and have their arms braced to a secret booster in their shirts ready to fire upwards the moment it looks like you\'re going to ask a question. Even for the students who have broken boosters, their eyes betray them.</p>\n<p>I can look at an entire class of kids and tell just by looking at their faces, who knows and who doesn\'t know the answer. These students are more artistic and are more forgiving when the subject matter doesn\'t conform to strict rules the same way that other subjects do.</p>\n<h3>Children who want to learn English and do so eventually.</h3>\n<p>This group is about half boys and half girls.</p>\n<p>They approach learning English like learning mathematics. If there are rules to follow then the answer can be established logically. You can see the expressions on their faces as they work through the information they have been given and arrive at a conclusion. These students get the bulk of my attention.</p>\n<p>(In an attempt to keep things simple I bury parts of English learning that may clash with certain \'rules\'. There are many reasons for this and I have faced criticism for doing it. But the way I see it, my students are too young to take on board the anomalies of the English language and it\'s also a time consuming distraction in my class that further education at a higher level can confront in the future.)</p>\n<h3>Children who like the class but not the subject!</h3>\n<p>All the students I have enjoy my classes without exception. Not because I\'m a particularly skilled educator or even an entertaining teacher. It\'s because they are kids and they find joy and entertainment in everything they do.</p>\n<p>The kids in this group (usually boys) are the biggest distraction in the classroom and need to be identified. Because it\'ll be this group that will determine your success and ability as a teacher.</p>\n<h3>Children who will never in a million years have a use for learning English.</h3>\n<p>These are the boys who sit near the back, eyes glazed over, hiding behind a bigger classmate and often struggling to stay awake!</p>\n<p>They are the noisiest in the playground and somehow a force of nature (thankfully) silences them in the English classroom. These are the kids that will keep bar owners in business. They\'ll be driving the motorcycle taxis and tuk tuks around town. They\'ll know the exact price of domestic whisky.</p>\n<h3>Children with learning difficulties.</h3>\n<p>Out of the 800 kids I face each week, about 5% of them have serious learning disabilities. The Thai teacher will point them out to me and say \"She\'s not normal!\"</p>\n<p>It\'s difficult to tell the difference between the disabled kids and the ones who are just lazy! After a few weeks though, it gets clearer.</p>\n<h3>Let the games begin...</h3>\n<p>Captivating the attention of a large class of kids and teaching them is a complicated psychological game. It\'s exhausting and by Friday afternoon I\'m beat. Which is why I value my weekends alone and sheltered from any kind of distraction.</p>\n<p>Also, my time is valuable. I spend an average of half an hour with each student a year! That\'s not much time.&nbsp;(45 minutes for each class - 32 classes a year - 40 kids in each class... that\'s about half an hour for each student each year!)<br /> <br />So, who answer the questions in my classes?</p>\n<p>Well, the answers may surprise you and you may disagree, but here\'s my take on this:</p>\n<p><strong>Children who want to learn English and do so quickly.</strong></p>\n<p>All of these kids will answer a question at least once. I know that they know the answer. But to keep them attentive, included and motivated, they will all get at least one chance to be heard. And they can enjoy the moment and act smug and smart with their chums.</p>\n<p><strong>Children who want to learn English and do so eventually.</strong></p>\n<p>These kids will get the most chances to answer questions. Hopefully multiple times. You can almost see the colored clockwork cogs ticking around in their heads as they assemble the answers for you. Also, this group is just as likely to get the answer wrong, which gives you the opportunity to offer further explanation and \'prompt\' the correct answers from them and other members of this group.</p>\n<p>This, for me, is the most important group of the class. These kids can be taught and respond well to logical explanations. The first group will have already absorbed this information and have less need of my attention.</p>\n<p>These kids also derive the most pleasure from getting their answers correct.</p>\n<p><strong>Children who like the class but not the subject!</strong></p>\n<p>Well, I\'ll throw out a few bones to this group depending on their mood and how much time I have. It\'ll hopefully keep them from being too much of a distraction to the other groups.</p>\n<p>This is the group who are most likely to move up a group in time and maybe one day find value in the classes. It\'s important to keep them included or at least enjoying their time in the class without letting them get disruptive. But frankly, they aren\'t a priority.</p>\n<p><strong>Children who will never in a million years have a use for learning English.</strong></p>\n<p>Toss them a blanket and let them sleep! Occasionally I\'ll ask one of these kids a question and here\'s why. If one of this group looks like getting a bit excited and disruptive then I\'ll fire off a question in that person\'s direction. He\'ll get it wrong or offer up stony silence. the other kids will have a good laugh at his expense and he\'ll be less disruptive for the next few minutes.</p>\n<p><strong>Children with learning (a language) difficulties.</strong></p>\n<p>Occasionally... and here\'s why:</p>\n<p>I have a girl who comes into one of my prathom 6 classes each week. She is clearly dull. (Yes, that\'s an accepted term, not one I threw out there to ridicule her.) But the reason I ask her a question is that any answer she blurts out is going to be correct. And I tell her that and she feels included in the class. It makes her happy to think that I think she knows the answer.</p>\n<p>But I don\'t do it for her. I do it for the girls who sit near her. You see, they have taken a maternal interest in this student and want to protect her. When they see her getting praise when she is quite clearly wrong, the other girls \'get it\' and understand what I\'m doing. It\'s like we have a secret arrangement to take care of this person.</p>\n<p>The boys at the back just think that she\'s got the answer right and scratch their heads in disbelief!</p>\n<h3>Final thoughts...</h3>\n<p>Now, I\'ve just scratched the surface here. There\'s a shitload more that goes on in each classroom.&nbsp;But you get an inkling about what it takes to engage the entire class and not just the ones with the arm boosters in their shirts!</p>\n<p>The first group will learn English better and faster even without my undivided attention. They will also be the group most likely to find value in learning English in the future. But I focus on the second group more. Why? Well, it\'s the second group that can most effectively be taught new things while the first group will naturally absorb this kind of knowledge.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2015-12-12 00:17:27',1,'2015-12-12 00:17:27','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30500,20,'The \'Hour of Code\' is here','the-hour-of-code-is-here','Computer coding is going to become an essential skill for all students','Simply learning how to use popular software applications is no longer enough for today\'s students. Other countries are waking up to this reality and education departments have reformed their computer studies curriculum to introduce students to the basic principles of computer science from an early age.','<p>Today\'s students are growing up in a world very different from the one in which their teachers did, and there are fascinating opportunities awaiting this generation.</p>\n<p>However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for educators and schools to anticipate which skills these students will need after they graduate.</p>\n<p>There has been a lot of talk about <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/21st-century-education/\">21st Century Skills</a>&nbsp;with a popular model from the US identifying the four &lsquo;essential\' 21st Century skills as; communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking - <a href=\"http://www.p21.org/ \">the 4Cs</a>. I\'m a fan of this model and I\'ve found that students genuinely enjoy projects and activities which enable them to develop these skills.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/hourcode.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Alongside communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking, I\'ve recently been converted to the idea that there is another 21st Century skill which every student should be introduced to, because it is the quintessential 21st Century skill - computer coding.</p>\n<h3>\'Stereotypes\'</h3>\n<p>Many people still think that learning to write computer code is something that\'s only of use to nerds, hackers and residents of Silicon Valley, but it\'s about time that stereotype was changed.</p>\n<p>Today\'s students need to be introduced to the basics of computer coding so they can understand how computer programs work and so they can begin developing the skills that will enable them to write their own programs, create their own websites and develop their own apps.</p>\n<p>At present computer studies at schools in Thailand, and the rest of Asia, focus on using mainstream computer programs such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel. These programs will have fundamentally changed, or been discontinued, by the time today\'s students have graduated.</p>\n<p>Simply learning how to use popular software applications is no longer enough for today\'s students. Other countries, including the UK, are waking up to this reality and education departments have reformed their computer studies curriculum to introduce students to the basic principles of computer science from an early age.</p>\n<h3>Common subject</h3>\n<p>Eventually, coding will become as common place on the school curriculum as Physics and History. Unfortunately, Thailand is unlikely to implement such curriculum changes for years to come, chances are, today\'s students will have graduated by the time the Thai MoE puts coding on the curriculum -something that will leave Thai students at a disadvantage once again.</p>\n<p>But don\'t despair, because thanks to an excellent initiative from the US, the <a href=\"https://code.org/\">&lsquo;Hour of Code\'</a>, teachers with only rudimentary computer skills can still give students their first ever insights to computer science - all you need is a computer.</p>\n<p>The &lsquo;Hour of Code\', was first introduced in response to the lack of opportunities for school students to learn basic programming skills.</p>\n<h3>Famous names</h3>\n<p>The initiative, which has the support of a diverse range of public figures that includes; Bill Gates, Snoop Dogg, Malala Yousafzai, Richard Branson, Aston Kutcher and Mark Zuckerberg, aims to &lsquo;demystify the art of coding\' and expand student participation in computer science.</p>\n<p>This year the Hour of Code, which takes place from 7th-13th December, <a href=\"https://twitter.com/codeorg/status/666212884913897473\">has teamed up with Minecraft, Disney and Star Wars</a> to create some great online tutorials which have everything students, and teachers, need to get their first taste of coding.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://code.org/mc\">The Minecraft tutoria</a>l is a great place to start.</p>\n<p>It uses Blocky to introduce learners to the basics of computer code. Students use these blocks to program a Minecraft character to complete various tasks. Under each block is a line of Java code and the students can &lsquo;look under the hood\' to see the actual code that is being used.</p>\n<p>Not only is the tutorial easy to follow and engaging but it also introduces learners to &lsquo;commands\', &lsquo;repeat loops\' and &lsquo;if statements\', concepts which lie at the very foundations of computer programming. Once you\'ve come to grips with the Minecraft tutorial they can move on to <a href=\"https://code.org/starwars\">the Star Wars tutoria</a>l which allows students to actually begin writing lines of Java code.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/codeorg/status/663673159892140032\">There is also a Frozen tutorial</a> which encourages students to program Elsa to carve patterns by skating over the ice - a great activity for students learning angles.</p>\n<h3>\'Benefits\'</h3>\n<p>The benefits of learning computer science are immense and all students should have this opportunity, not only because it can be a path to a rewarding career but because, as Steve Jobs famously explained, &lsquo;everyone in this country should learn how to program a computer... because it teaches you how to think.\'</p>\n<p>Furthermore, these online tutorials are excellent practice for students to apply their English language skills in &lsquo;real life\' situations, by following instructions and issuing commands.</p>\n<p>In the same way that all students are given the opportunity to play a musical instrument and ride a bicycle, 21st Century students should all be introduced to the basics of computer science because developing computer literacy is essential for this generation.</p>\n<h3>\'Opportunities\'</h3>\n<p>Students who &lsquo;speak code\' will have far more opportunities than those who don\'t, and it is these individuals who will use technology to meet the challenges of 21st Century life - challenges, such as climate change, environmental destruction, natural resource management, health epidemics and overpopulation, which will only be overcome with human ingenuity aided by technology and computers.</p>\n<p>If you are interested in getting involved, you can get started by <a href=\"http://www.Code.org\">visiting the Hour of Code\'s website</a>&nbsp;, there is still time to sign up and there are lots of great resources to inspire future programmers.</p>\n<p>You can even download certificates and stickers for students who successfully complete their first hour of programming.</p>\n<p>Happy Coding!</p>\n<p><strong><span>Daniel Maxwell</span><br /><span>Varee Chiangmai School</span><br /><span>www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax</span></strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2015-12-16 22:38:05',1,'2015-12-16 22:38:05','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30501,90,'Pay rises and promotions','pay-rises-and-promotions','How to aim higher and enjoy a better quality of life as a teacher','I\'m looking ahead to next year and thinking about how to get a pay rise and a promotion. You should be thinking about it too. So what are some of the ways to go about it?','<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>At the end of the year most people sit back and reflect on what they have done. Maybe you have a new partner or you moved house. If you have just moved to Thailand this year you are probably thinking of all the great places you visited and the new friends you have made.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>For me I\'m looking ahead to next year and thinking about how to get a pay rise and a promotion.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>\'Pay rise\' and \'promotion\' are not common terms in the Thai TEFL industry. The pay is what it is; if you don\'t like it someone else will come work for your current salary.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Promotion for a teacher? You\'re a teacher and that\'s what you will always be - there isn\'t a career path to follow to move up the ladder. This may be true at some schools but I think there are options out there to progress your career and to earn more money so let’s have a look at how to get a promotion and pay rise.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Training&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>This is a simple one. If you have the right qualifications then you will be able to apply for better, higher paying jobs.&nbsp;</span>If you don\'t have a TEFL certificate then maybe it\'s time to get one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">If you have an online TEFL certificate then why not consider doing the CELTA course. A degree + a CELTA and you can be applying for jobs at the better language schools and mid-level bilingual schools with pay between 40-60k a month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Admittedly the CELTA costs around 50,000 Baht to take which is a fair chunk of cash but if you\'re moving from a 35K job to a 50K job it will pay itself off over a few months.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>There are also many short courses offered by language and training centres based on business English, exam preparation and teaching children among others. Whilst these are not essential for most jobs they will improve your resume and show that you have the desire to improve yourself.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Aiming at lower level international schools you will probably need to have QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) from your home country.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I know of a few people here studying the online IPGCE course (the UK QTS requirement) with the aim of being accepted at an international school paying around 80K a month.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>This course is expensive at around 150K + and it is worth bearing in mind that most top international schools won’t accept online degrees and will require teaching experience in your home country for at least a year before they consider your application. However, as it\'s an online course you can study in your free time whilst working your current job and don\'t need to leave Thailand.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>The final option is to return home to get a university based teaching qualification and experience teaching in the classroom. The cost of this is likely to be very high and will take around 2 years. This method will mean you are eligible to work at the top international schools where you can be earning 100K + benefits per month.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Your Performance and Attitude&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I\'ve met really professional teachers here in Thailand and some who have been an absolute joke. Taking 4 days sick leave after Songkran won’t make you look good and when it comes to your end of year appraisal will be a black mark against you.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Act professionally and you should be rewarded.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Most schools, even those staffed by agencies, should offer a pay rise for your second year as long as your performance and attendance has been acceptable. 2,000 Baht extra a month doesn\'t seem a lot but every little helps.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>If you have performed well throughout the year and shown dedication towards your job this will put you in a stronger position when asking for a raise or the opportunity of promotion.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Finding reliable staff can be a problem for many schools so if you show these desired qualities you may find promotion easier to achieve than you thought.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I know of two people who said they were going to leave their schools over a lack of promotion opportunities only to be offered a promotion and pay rise within a couple of days. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Promotion Opportunities - Be Proactive</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>As a teacher it may seem like there is no chance of a promotion.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>If you work in a government school then the hierarchy will always be Thai staff. Don\'t let this put you off thinking about a promotion. You can always suggest extra duties or tasks which may require a new role to be created and see if your manager agrees - it\'s all about being proactive.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>One option is a supervisor / team leader role where you will be in charge of a team of teachers. This could be just reporting information from the school / agency or may involve many duties such as scheduling and carrying out staff evaluations.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>The majority of language schools have some form of management position for foreign staff so you should ask about the promotion process with your manager to see what you can do to be considered for a different role.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Within international schools there will be a clear path for teachers to follow up to the Head Teacher position. Competition may be fierce but in the end the rewards are high and the experience you gain will be invaluable.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>It is also worth remembering that if you don\'t have a shot at promotion in your current company there are always other companies after supervisors and managers at their schools.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Just Ask!</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>A lot of people seem to think that it is not possible to ask for a pay rise as a teacher in Thailand. The worst that can happen is your manager says no.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>In the end you won\'t be worse off. Best case scenario you walk out with some extra money every month or a better position within the school.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>When you plan to ask for a pay rise make sure you have a list of reasons why you deserve it. Just saying I want a pay rise because prices have increased since last year isn\'t a good enough reason.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Talk about your successes, reliability and show that you are an important part of the team. Leave your boss without a reason to deny you!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Sometimes you will be told it\'s impossible to get a raise - budgets, others staff would be upset etc. In this case you either need to decide to stay in your current position or have a look for something new.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Private Students</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Maybe you have free time during your working week to teach a few private students. Whilst this isn\'t a pay rise from your job it is an opportunity to use your time wisely to get a better overall salary.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I read a story here on the Ajarn cost of living page about a teacher making up to 100K per month just from private students. This is extreme and impossible for most people but I guess adding 10K per month isn\'t impossible if you do five hours extra a week.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Sure this might mean working a couple of weekends a month or having to say no to going out for evening beers once in a while but it will improve your quality of life.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>\"It\'s hard to find students\" people always tell me but I think if you show initiative and look in the right place there are always students wanting to learn.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Other Jobs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>If you are in Thailand because you love the country then you might consider looking at alternative jobs to teaching.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>It is possible to legally work in other professions such as marketing, sales and journalism. Pay for these does vary widely but as an example I know someone who started work as a copywriter on 60K a month.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Many people are now starting to work remotely via the internet in Thailand. This is a legal grey area as you shouldn\'t be working in the country without a work permit. It also means that you will need to do visa runs or be on a retirement / marriage / education visa which isn\'t possible or desirable for everyone. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>However, it is possible to make some extra money online if you have contacts back home or look for work as a freelancer.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Leave Thailand<strong>&nbsp;</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>We all know that teaching in Thailand pays less than a lot of other countries in the region. You have the option to move along to a different country and benefit from making more and hopefully saving more in places like Korea and China.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>This may seem drastic but if you have nothing keeping you here then it may be an option.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Those extra earnings can pay for a nice holiday here every few months if you really miss Thailand.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>TEFL teaching means you have the opportunity to travel the World. Thailand is an amazing place to live but I bet you can find another country you will love just as much if not more.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Set a Goal&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>If you\'re in Thailand for a year or 6 months then this isn\'t so important but if you\'re staying for longer you should try setting a goal for yourself.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>It seems a lot of people don\'t care about self-improvement judging by the number of people I\'ve met who have been in the same job at the same salary for 5+ years (and complain about it!).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Being stuck in the same job year in year out whilst you are struggling for money isn\'t fun. There are things you can do to improve your life.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>New year’s resolutions normally fail but next year try to aim higher, improve yourself and get a better quality of life through a promotion and a pay rise!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I would genuinely love to know why.','<p><em>\"If street food was the only choice of food available, I wouldn\'t live here\"</em> - Teacher Mark on the ajarn Facebook page.</p>\n<p>I suspect this article is going to be controversial but there\'s a perfectly good reason for writing it. What is it about Thai street food that brings tourists, travelers and even long-term Thailand expats to virtual orgasm? I would genuinely love to know why.</p>\n<p>I don\'t dislike Thai street food but I only eat it once or twice a month and it\'s usually out of necessity rather than by choice. But occasionally I do enjoy something like a &lsquo;khao man gai\' (boiled chicken over rice) or a khao mook gai\' (Muslim style chicken and yellow rice)</p>\n<p>Street food can certainly hit the spot when you\'re feeling peckish.</p>\n<h3>Street food to go</h3>\n<p>I\'ve got street food on my mind because my wife has just arrived home from work with a couple of plastic bags of &lsquo;khao moo daeng\' - red pork over rice with some sort of accompanying sauce, a few slices of cucumber and what looks like half a boiled egg.</p>\n<p>My wife thinks she\'s doing me a favor (God bless her) because I rather cocked up the weekend\'s supermarket shopping and I\'ve almost run out of food.</p>\n<p>No, honestly, I do appreciate the gesture.</p>\n<p>After wrestling with the elastic band ties for several minutes, I pour the contents of the plastic bags on to two good-size dinner plates. First the rice, then the pork, and finally the egg and cucumber are arranged on top.</p>\n<p>I have to say it looks like the most unappetizing plate of food I\'ve ever seen and two minutes in the microwave does very little to improve things.</p>\n<h3>Oh, they\'re \'nubbins\'</h3>\n<p>Before I take the first mouthful, I want to spend a moment analyzing exactly what sits on the plate.</p>\n<p>There are five &lsquo;nubbins\' of red pork. They are not large enough to be called &lsquo;pieces\' so I\'m going to refer to them as &lsquo;nubbins\'. And those five nubbins sit atop a clump of lumpy, bumpy low-grade rice. And that\'s basically it.</p>\n<p>Half a boiled egg and a few slices of cucumber aren\'t going anywhere near saving the day here.</p>\n<p>I separate the red pork on the plate so I can get a clearer picture of exactly how much &lsquo;meat\' the customer is getting for their 40 baht. I know pork. I buy it every week at my local supermarket and pay about 50 baht for three decent size fillet steaks.</p>\n<p>By my reckoning, there is barely three baht\'s worth of pork on my plate.</p>\n<p>You often hear people talk about street food and immediately start gushing over the cost  - \"oh it\'s so cheap\", \"it\'s such terrific value for money\" Now hold on a minute.</p>\n<p>Let\'s dispel the first myth about street food. It isn\'t cheap. Not when you weigh up the vendor\'s buying costs and the overall quality of what you\'re getting. Words like &lsquo;cheap\' and &lsquo;bargain\' go straight out of the window.</p>\n<p>In street food\'s defence, I suppose there is a time and a place for it. There is certainly a place. Funny how street food instantly looks and tastes better when it\'s eaten at the curb-side whilst choking on noxious exhaust fumes and surrounded by stray dogs, all sitting in a semi-circle with that look of hopeful expectancy.</p>\n<p>And of course, street food should only be served by a vendor with enough dirt under his fingernails to start growing potatoes.</p>\n<p>\"The Thais love eating street food\" is something else you hear foreigners say. But how many have truly asked for a Thai person\'s opinion of it?</p>\n<p>I decided to make some enquiries - starting with my wife.</p>\n<h3>Food for the working man</h3>\n<p>\"Street food means that people can at least get some sort of meal for a dollar\" she said. \"If you travel around Europe for example, it\'s just not possible to eat at that sort of price. When you have Thais earning salaries of 10,000 baht a month, it\'s all they can afford. That\'s the way it is\"</p>\n<p>\"We have a company canteen at work where the prices are even lower than what you pay on the street - about 10-15 baht a dish. But of course the quality of the food is lower as well. Our security guards (good examples of low wage earners) eat in the canteen twice a day - but I\'m sure they would love to eat better given the chance\"</p>\n<p>What about the Thais who can afford to eat better?</p>\n<p>I asked around at the gym where most of the Thai trainers earn between 25,000 and 35,000 baht a month. It\'s a decent salary for a young, single Thai (and most of them are single I might add)</p>\n<h3>Hobson\'s choice</h3>\n<p>\"I eat street food on every working day for two reasons\" said Ben, a 23-year old trainer from Suphanburi. \"Firstly, I don\'t have cooking facilities at my apartment and secondly, when I finish work at 10.30pm, street food is the only thing available. Well, it\'s either that or a microwave meal from 7-11, and I think street food probably comes out on top\"</p>\n<p>I asked Ben if he ate street food on his day off.</p>\n<p>\"Never\" he said. \"A day off gives me the opportunity to eat at a Japanese restaurant or some other place, usually in a shopping mall. I think many Thais are like me in that respect\"</p>\n<p>And yes, it seemed to be an opinion shared by the other trainers I got into conversation with.</p>\n<h3>Hygiene standards</h3>\n<p>I worked for many years with Mike, a teacher from England. He lived on one of those Sukhumwit sois lined with street food stalls from one end to the other. Mike, it\'s fair to say, lived on nothing but street food. He ate it at least twice a day.</p>\n<p>And I\'ve never known anyone have more sick days off work and suffer from a greater number of stomach-related health problems.</p>\n<p>The hygiene and cleanliness of street food often comes up for discussion. Touch wood, I\'ve never had a single instance of &lsquo;a dicky stomach\' but I\'ve heard stories from many foreigners who haven\'t been quite so lucky.</p>\n<h3>Mad Dan</h3>\n<p>Back at the gym. I asked Australian Dan for his opinion. Dan is a man mountain. His neck is thicker than my waist. I\'m the only person at the gym who\'s not scared of him but he\'s a teddy bear once you get to know him.</p>\n<p>\"Street food!\" Dan exclaimed \"Don\'t talk to me about f***ing street food. It\'s a snack, that\'s all that f***ing is!\"</p>\n<p>The veins in his neck bulged and I sense I may have touched a nerve. I fanned him with a towel and eventually he calmed down.</p>\n<p>Between deep breaths, Dan told me that he\'d recently installed a new kitchen in his condo. \"I know cooking can be a pain because you haven\'t always got time - but fresh meat and vegetables are so cheap here. By cooking at home, you eat far healthier and don\'t really spend that much more\"</p>\n<p>I wasn\'t going to argue with that. Well, to be honest, you\'d be nuts to.</p>','','2015-12-23 02:08:33',1,'2015-12-23 02:08:33','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30517,52,'January 2016','january-2016','It\'s time to get yourself on a good Thailand TEFL course','Here it is - our first TEFL course news blog of 2016. make it your year by starting off with some quality teacher training.

I arrived here in mid-June after completing my last work contract renewal in Saudi Arabia.','<p>This article is a follow up to \'Sand Dust\', <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/sand-dust\">when I left Thailand to look for more lucrative pastures in The Middle East.</a></p>\n<p>I am happy to announce that I am back living in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I arrived here in mid-June after completing my last work contract renewal in Saudi Arabia. I was there for six years teaching English at a university in the industrial area of Jubail, not far from Dammam, the capital of the oil producing Eastern province, about a two-hour drive from Bahrain.</p>\n<p>My wife had found a reasonable ground floor duplex in Phuket Town, not far from where we once lived before, from 2004 to 2009. Our place has two small bedrooms, living room, and bath. It has no real kitchen but we manage to cook and wash dishes.</p>\n<h3>New digs</h3>\n<p>It costs us 5,500 Baht per month (at the current exchange of 35 Baht/USD, it\'s about $157 USD). She had to arrive here with our children first because the Thai school year starts in May, so they moved first. In the rush, however, she chose an apartment that was in a noisy area, so she went looking for a new place, and that\'s where we would be headed once I was here.</p>\n<p>The weather right now is not too hot or dry, but it can be warm, and since we are in the middle of the monsoon season, it rains torrentially for a few minutes at a time throughout the day. It\'s not too bad. Most people just wait it out under some awning. It does cool down at night and it\'s common for people to sit, drink, and eat outdoors at sidewalk caf&eacute;s and open air restaurants, or outside their houses.</p>\n<p>Even though I have an air conditioner unit from before, I haven\'t had it installed since we are comfortable using electric fans day and night. It\'s livable and we are happy.</p>\n<h3>Worlds apart</h3>\n<p>For those who have not lived in the Middle East or on desert countries, the difference is like night and day. The scenery here is a vibrant green with all kinds of foliage and plants growing everywhere. Trees, rocks, and fences, have a side covered with lichen and fungus, while buildings and walls are naturally stained from the flow of rain water.</p>\n<p>Insects chirp constantly while mosquitoes and ants try to feed on you, but you learn to overcome these. Pests are overwhelmingly larger in numbers, but we are individually larger, smarter, and more adaptable. In the end, we win. Still, have seen rats the size of small cats, and stray dogs are better fed than combat troops. It would be difficult for most to understand why some of us sacrifice certain commodities in order to live here.</p>\n<p>In contrast, Saudi Arabia is so dry that nothing lives on its soil unless it has its own artificial slow drip irrigating water line. Every tree, flower bed or bush is artificially watered. The sandy soil, and even the buildings, all have nearly the same beige color, and are covered with a fine layer of sand dust. The temperature outside is typically forty five Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) and can go as high as fifty four C (129 F).</p>\n<p>As a result, few people are seen outside during the day. Most people are inside air conditioned buildings, homes, or cars. Jubail, where I lived for six years, resembles a ghost town devoid of life and activity. It is only after dusk that people venture out and go to the shopping malls, sometimes staying up very late to enjoy the coolness of the evening.</p>\n<p>Life for an expat is but a step better than solitary confinement. After watching the same news repeat every hour on CNN, BBC, and Al-Jazeera, I spent the rest of the time pumping iron at a nearby gym. Not long after, friends were saying I was \"buff.\"</p>\n<p>Note that in six years, in spite of shopping for food at equivalents of \"Big-C\" and \"Lotus,\" occasionally going to restaurants and shopping malls, I never saw the face of a Saudi woman. I did manage to see a few hands up to the wrist and most memorably, a foot.</p>\n<h3>Female hardship</h3>\n<p>Bringing my Thai wife was never a choice, for she would be locked in an apartment until I got off work, and only then, she could go out in my company, totally covered in a black robe, and only showing her eyes through a horizontal slit on a face veil. Note that most foreign women do not cover their faces and often walk around with their hair loose, but you should see the dirty looks they get from the men.</p>\n<p>The self-appointed morality police for \"the prevention of vice and the promotion of virtue,\" often harass the foreign women and force them to cover their hair. Surprisingly, restaurants, banks, coffee shops, and other public establishments have segregated sections: one for \"families\", where men and women who are relatives can use, and \"singles\", only for men but not women.</p>\n<p>At large social functions, where men bring their families, such as a picnic at a park, the men congregate at one end of the picnic area, and the women at the other end.</p>\n<h3>Cheaper living</h3>\n<p>Thailand is not a rich country, but there seems to be an abundance of reasonably priced cooked food, and fresh fruit can be found everywhere. A typical dish of rice with two sides, vegetables, and fish or meat, costs 40 Baht ($1.17 USD) at a buffet, while shrimp fried rice goes for 60 Baht ($1.71) at a simple sidewalk restaurant, and the more expensive restaurants will charge 80-100 Baht ($2.28-2.85 USD) for a specialty dish.</p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, I went to the famous tourist beach, Patong, had a club sandwich at an upscale restaurant by the beach, and paid 200 Baht ($5.71 USD). Incidentally, the McDonald\'s Big Mac was the same price. Of course, if you start asking for Australian beefsteak, or the pricier lobster, you\'ll end paying much more. Steak and lobster are not part of the typical Thai diet, while rice, fish, vegetables and fresh fruit are. You can also easily find chicken and pork. Thais love candy, snacks, sugar, and desserts.</p>\n<h3>On two wheels</h3>\n<p>There are lots of motorcycles on the roads. People who own cars also have motorcycles. Even my wife has and rides her own. Within a week of my arrival, and after getting all the immigration documents in order, I bought myself a Honda 110 CC model, almost similar to the one I had before. The new one is fuel injected while the older one was 125 CC with a carburetor. The fuel injected motorcycle runs and accelerates smoother.</p>\n<p>In spite of having other motorcycles before (Kawasaki 400 CC), I find riding again more exciting and satisfying. It\'s like the rebirth of an old avocation. My new motorcycle cost me 42,500 Baht ($1,214 USD).</p>\n<p>So what do I do here besides eat, sleep, and ride the motorcycle?</p>\n<p>Actually, it is now, two months after getting here, that I find some free time to write. I regret not being more prolific in terms of writing and sending E-mail, but really, the life of a retired person is hardly a leisure one.</p>\n<h3>Arrival in Thailand</h3>\n<p>Upon arriving, first in Bangkok, I spent a couple of days sorting out what to do with a bagful of petrodollars I managed to extract out of Saudi Arabia. I then flew to Phuket where it also took me a day or two to document my new address and get permission from immigration to go shopping and buy a motorcycle. Actually, permission for a foreigner to register a vehicle.</p>\n<p>Then took a bus from Phuket to Udon Thani in the Northeast of the country to retrieve my old car, a 1991 1.6 liter Toyota Corolla which my wife left there, two months before returning to Phuket, under a tree, and which surprisingly enough, started without CPR, defibrillator, or extra oxygen.</p>\n<p>The bus ride was twenty hours long and it dropped me off in Udon Thani, about fifty kilometers (thirty miles) from the Mekong River, the border with Laos. Udon Thani is a very large town, the capital of the province, but since it is an agricultural rice farming area, there is no real night life to speak of. The few bars that do exist close early, so I went out and did all the damage I could before midnight.</p>\n<p>The next morning I started at eight, but soon had to make a U-turn since I was headed north, towards the Mekong River and Laos, as opposed to South, towards Phuket and Malaysia. Thirteen hours later, driving in the right direction, past Khon Kaen, Korat, Saraburi, Bangkok, and Petchaburi, I arrived at the resort town of Hua Hin, on the Western seaboard.</p>\n<p>After parking on the side of the main road, I swung over my shoulder my soft carry-on and headed for the bars near the beach, where I continued the damage.</p>\n<p>After terminating three beers, well after midnight, one of the ladies working at the bar put me on the back of a motorcycle and took me to a 400 Baht ($11.40 USD) per night guesthouse. She graciously bade me farewell at the reception and left on her own after seeing my passport and learning that I was turning sixty one this year. I couldn\'t quite see through her heavy makeup whether she was disappointed or embarrassed. Being a senior citizen does have its advantages.</p>\n<p>The next morning I continued south and after another thirteen hours, crossed the bridge that connects Phuket to the rest of Thailand, which I had mostly driven through by now. My 1991 Toyota did well. I needed CPR and extra oxygen, but settled for a homemade dinner with the wife, kids, and a cold beer.</p>\n<p>The second week was spent moving from the first apartment to the new duplex. The old Toyota came in handy although the air conditioner failed a couple of days after recharging. The car A/C recharging had cost me 500 Baht ($14.28 USD) in Udon Thani, but it kept me cool during the cross-country trip.</p>\n<h3>Time catches up with us all</h3>\n<p>Now that I had car and motorcycle, it was time to get Thai licenses driving for both, so I dutifully went to the Transportation Office, with all the necessary documents. Assuming one can pass the written and driving tests, the licenses can be issued the same day. In my case, it took me two weeks, going practically every other day, for I failed the written test twice, the motorcycle test once, and the driving (parking) test three times. What happened to me? I drove large American cars in California for thirty years, ranging from Pontiac GTOs and Chevrolet Monte Carlos to Ford station wagons, and I routinely parked them in downtown San Francisco, quite often during rush hour.</p>\n<p>Now, I can\'t even park my old Toyota Corolla in a test range. By the time I was done, the examiners knew me on a first name basis and I even felt as if I was quitting a job at the Transportation Office. I\'m getting a hint as to why the lady from the Hua Hin bar left me at the door of the guest house she took me to.</p>\n<p>During the days I wasn\'t trying to get a driving license, I had to repair a leak in the washing machine, erect the TV satellite dish antenna for the kids to watch cartoons and soap operas, install a hot water heater in the bathroom, unpack my bags and sort out the aftermath of six years living in Saudi Arabia, do maintenance on my wife\'s motorcycle, and go through my old belongings she had helped me stash while I was away.</p>\n<h3>Technology stress</h3>\n<p>One thing you need to know: do not try to store away a computer with the hope of using it at a later time. I had put away a Pentium II CPU running at a whopping 633 Megahertz speed, with a 20 Gigabyte hard drive and an incredible 256 Megabytes of RAM memory (remember when Bill Gates said \"who would need more than 640 Kilobytes?\" Note that 640 Kilobytes is 0.64 Megabytes). Granted, I had been using this computer since 2002, the days of the Windows XP operating system. It did power up and work after I unboxed and plugged it in, but new updated programs, namely antivirus, internet browsers, and other newer software ran tearfully slow on it. It took forever to power down.</p>\n<p>I finally pulled the plug on it and bought a used computer for 8,000 Baht ($228.60 USD), which sported an Intel i5 CPU running at an incredible 3.1 Gigahertz speed, with a humongous 500 Gigabyte hard drive and 4 Gigabytes of RAM memory. Forget the Windows XP part, for we are past Windows Vista, 7, 8, and now 10 is being distributed. Just when we thought we were winning the race, along came faster running computers.</p>\n<h3>Settling in to the Thai lifestyle</h3>\n<p>So now we have adequate housing, reasonably priced food, tuned up motorcycles, a nuclear powered Toyota, cartoons on TV for the kids, hot water in the shower for the wife, cold beer in the fridge for the retiree, clean washed clothes for all , and a good working computer. The next logical thing was to find work.</p>\n<p>It is now mid-July.</p>\n<h3>Time to find work</h3>\n<p>I spruced up my old resume, made copies of degrees, reference letters, police clearance, and other necessary documents, and applied both on-line and in person. Walked in at several schools and universities advertising myself as an English teacher with a technical background. I spent two weeks looking for teaching work and got some responses, one impromptu interview, but no offers so far. I still wonder if the girl from the Hua Hin bar saw something I didn\'t.</p>\n<p>In August my youngest child came down with a fever which turned out to be a cold, and then it was my wife\'s turn. She also suffered an eye infection but has also recovered. We took care of both problems with antibiotics. Bugs do come in large numbers, even the microscopic ones, but we learn to overcome these too.</p>\n<p>It is now September, and although retired, am poised to run into the remainder of my new life with all I have. Never mind the rain, bugs, rats, dogs, old computers, bargirls... The old Toyota, air con or not, is still firing on all four cylinders, and I am going after a greater future like there\'s no tomorrow. And here is the better part: since I have a new motorcycle and no longer commute to work, in practice, I don\'t ride to live, I live to ride!</p>\n<h3>Phuket is the place!</h3>\n<p>Do come and visit Phuket. It is Paradise. The weather is great and the scenery stunning. Local women here do not cover their faces unless the sun is shining directly on it, and you can routinely see what is above the foot as short pants and skirts are the norm. The food is tasty and the beer cold. I am sure help you can find reasonable accommodations to suit your budget.</p>\n<p>The best time to come is during the dry season, from late November to early April. The rainy season, from April through November, is not too bad but the surf is rough at the beaches and red flags are often up. Most people come here because it is a popular tourist destination as there are great, unspoiled beaches, good hotels and restaurants, lively nightlife, good infrastructure such as transportation, roads, internet, medical assistance, and shopping.</p>\n<p>For kids, there is an aquarium, a zoo, elephant rides, and for adults, there is snorkeling, motorcycle riding, boat trips to other islands such as Phi Phi, Ko Yao, and for those who like to dive, the Similan islands are famous for such.</p>\n<p>There are also trips to nearby national parks in Phang Nga and Krabi. You can search and get a glimpse of all the above on the internet.</p>\n<p>Get enthused. Do not wait for retirement. Life is short and you could end up in the sand dust.</p>\n<p><strong>Jorge Emilio Jo<br />Phuket, 2015</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/paradise1.jpg','2016-01-05 06:47:59',1,'2016-01-05 06:47:59','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30521,10,'Locked out with Air B\'n\'B','locked-out-with-air-bnb','Frustrations with using the popular accommodation website','It\'s crucial that Air B\'n\'B works together with the hosts to keep them constantly aware of how important it is to get the guest arrival part right.','<p>I initially wrote this blog in 2015 to detail my first couple of experiences using the Air BnB website. Having used the website a third time for a holiday in Melbourne in 2016 and a plan to use it once more for a trip to Taiwan this coming December, I felt that the time was ripe for an update. So if you have read the first instalment already, please scroll down to the update.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>&nbsp;It\'s just before six &lsquo;o\' clock in the evening. My wife and I are standing in front of an apartment building in an unfamiliar Tokyo neighborhood. Darkness has already fallen and the streets are deserted. It\'s also bitterly cold.</p>\n<p>We are fumbling around in the dark, desperately trying to open a key-box which contains the key that we need to enter the building - and then access an apartment that we have booked for seven nights on the popular Air B\'n\'B website.</p>\n<p>We can hear the room-key rattling around in the key-box but the damn thing just won\'t open. After ten minutes, our fingers are numb with the cold. We\'ve tried everything short of bashing at the key-box with a big rock. Had there been any big rocks around, we\'d certainly have given that a go.</p>\n<h3>Locked out</h3>\n<p>We are desperate. Having only just arrived in Japan, we have no sim cards or wi-fi signals on our smartphones. We are cold, hungry and locked out. We\'re facing a night under the stars among the homeless cardboard city dwellers at the nearby Ueno Train Station.</p>\n<p>We go into panic mode. This is the second time we have used the Air B\'n\'B website to book accommodation and the second time that the apartment owner (or &lsquo;host\' as they are referred to in Air B\'n\'B circles) has royally messed up the arrival.</p>\n<p>Lightning had well and truly struck twice!</p>\n<h3>\'Perfect\'</h3>\n<p>Our Japanese host had been perfect up to that point. From the moment we enquired about staying at his apartment, his communication had been spot on. He furnished us with a detailed map of how to get to his apartment from the train station (a 10-minute walk) and diagrams of where the key-box would be &lsquo;hidden\'</p>\n<p>Having stayed in the Ueno area before, we already knew how to get there from the airport and our host\'s map of the neighborhood meant that we found his apartment building with no difficulty at all. The key-box was exactly where the host said it would be. The only problem now was that we couldn\'t open the box.</p>\n<p>The host had given us an emergency telephone number, which I had scribbled on a piece of paper. All we needed now was a mobile phone that was capable of making a local call. Just at that moment, a young Japanese couple strolled into view, probably out looking for a restaurant.</p>\n<h3>Help!</h3>\n<p>My wife and I approached them and explained our situation. As always, despite very limited English, the Japanese are only too happy to help a couple of stranded foreigners. They got out their phones, dialed the emergency number but all they got was a recorded message saying the number was unavailable. Could this situation honestly get any worse?</p>\n<p>The four of us returned to the key-box - there seemed few other options - and took it in turns to poke it, press it, and fiddle with the combination dial. But still no luck. I decided to have one final break-in attempt myself and by some miracle, the lid flipped open. I\'ve never been more relieved to hear the sound of a door-key hitting a concrete floor. At least we would be spending our first night indoors.</p>\n<p>I felt like hugging our new Japanese friends in celebration. OK, it was me who had finally got the key-box open but it had been reassuring to know we hadn\'t faced the ordeal alone.</p>\n<h3>Korea</h3>\n<p>Let\'s go back twelve months to December of 2014 and our first ever trip to Seoul in Korea. This was also the first time my wife and I had used the Air B\'n\'B website.</p>\n<p>We had booked ourselves a great-looking apartment in a vibrant area of the city just a couple of minutes from the subway station. From there we could get anywhere in Seoul in no time at all. It sounded like the perfect location.</p>\n<p>Again, our host, a young Korean lady, had played a blinder when it came to pre-trip communication.</p>\n<p>Where to get the bus at the airport. Check.</p>\n<p>Where to get off the bus. Check.</p>\n<p>How to get from the bus stop to the apartment building. Check.</p>\n<p>All that remained was to take the elevator up to the 18th floor, find the apartment - and access the room by entering a four-digit pass code into the keypad.</p>\n<p>But a dozen attempts at entering the correct pass code ended in failure. &lsquo;Password incorrect\' had become our welcome to Korea.</p>\n<p>We had the host\'s contact telephone number, but like the scenario in Japan that would unfold twelve months later, we had no sim card in our phones and no wi-fi signal. We were stranded in a corridor, somewhere in the middle of Seoul.</p>\n<h3>A saviour</h3>\n<p>But again, cometh the hour and cometh another knight in shining armour - this time a Korean businessman leaving the apartment next door. The gentleman\'s English was non-existent but it\'s amazing how good your acting skills get at a time like this. He got straight on his phone and we were able to contact the host right away.</p>\n<p>Our Air B\'n\'B host arrived within ten minutes and said that she wasn\'t expecting us until six in the evening. I looked at my watch. It was 6.15. She would have to do better than that.</p>\n<p>After fiddling around with the electronic keypad for what seemed like an age (the temperature outside was below zero by the way) our host ascertained that the previous tenants, who had checked out that morning, had irresponsibly changed the door code.</p>\n<p>\"They had no right to do that\" our Korean host muttered.</p>\n<p>Personally, I didn\'t give a shit who had the right to change what. It\'s the host\'s responsibility to make sure that paying guests can gain access to their accommodation. That\'s the bottom line. End of story.</p>\n<h3>A plea for awareness</h3>\n<p>I love the Air B\'n\'B website. What\'s not to like? You get the opportunity to stay at comfy &lsquo;home from home\' apartments, often with living rooms, bathrooms and cooking facilities - not to mention the fact that you have a total run of the place.</p>\n<p>And in cities like Seoul and Tokyo, where hotels can be ridiculously expensive, Air B\'n\"B hosted apartments can be situated in prime areas and cost a fraction of what a sterile hotel experience would run you.</p>\n<p>But regardless of how comfy and convenient the apartment is, I feel it\'s crucial that Air B\'n\'B works together with the hosts to keep them constantly aware of how important it is to get the guest arrival part right.</p>\n<p>No doubt there will be people reading this who have used the Air B\'n\'B website far more times than I have and never had a problem. Fair play to you. But I\'ve used the website twice and first impressions (the arrival) have been poor to say the least - on both occasions. By my reckoning that\'s a 100% record. Perhaps I\'ve just been unlucky.</p>\n<h3>We\'ll be back!</h3>\n<p>That said, on both trips, once we got over the initial entry problems, we\'ve gone on to have fantastic stays. A key-box that wouldn\'t open and a door combination lock that didn\'t work haven\'t put me off using the website. Not yet anyway.</p>\n<p>I just hope that our apartment in Melbourne this coming April is a case of third time lucky.</p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE OCTOBER 2016</strong></p>\n<p>Well, our apartment in Melbourne was superb. Slap bang in the middle of the central business district, just a few hundred metres from the main train station and with panoramic views of the city to wake up to, the flat was everything we had hoped for - and at a very reasonable price too.</p>\n<p>Although we never got to meet the actual host of the apartment - which seems to be quite a common scenario if you read various reviews - he owned several properties in the same building and was clearly something of an Air BnB entrepreneur. I have no problem with that at all. The host\'s communication had been excellent in the weeks leading up to our arrival in Melbourne and he told us that a gentleman called Mark, who took care of letting short-term tenants into their rooms, would meet us at the entrance to the apartment block with the keys and also show us to our apartment and explain how to use the heating system and washing machine, etc.</p>\n<p>When we presented ourselves at the building entrance at the arranged time, the gentleman called Mark was nowhere to be seen - so we waited and then we waited some more. Eventually, after about twenty minutes, a four foot Filipina who had been standing near me the whole time, tapped me on the arm and said &lsquo;are you Mr Philip?\'. This was the gentleman called Mark.</p>\n<p>Mark the four foot Filipina then showed us to our apartment, said a quick &lsquo;welcome to Melbourne\', slapped the keys down on the kitchen counter and then couldn\'t get out of there fast enough. We never did figure out how the washing machine worked but as I said, the apartment was great!</p>\n<p>This December my wife and I are planning a week long holiday in Taipei and once more we\'ve turned to the Air BnB website. We chose a lovely, centrally located two-story house that will suit our needs very nicely. At least it will do if I can get the host to answer my questions in an English that I can understand.</p>\n<p>After going backwards and forwards by e-mail and LINE to get the answers to fairly important questions such as &lsquo;how do I get there?\" I had to ask the Air BnB help centre to step in and assist and up to now, they\'ve been wonderful, even finding someone to communicate with the host in his native Taiwanese, which has been a godsend because I was frankly getting nowhere with him.</p>\n<p>The situation has taught me yet another very important Air BnB lesson. Never ever click on the &lsquo;instant booking\' button. You have to first create a line of communication with your intended host and make sure that they can provide all the basic info you need.</p>','','2016-10-03 03:16:42',1,'2016-10-03 03:16:42','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30523,10,'Seven days in Tokyo (part 1)','seven-days-in-tokyo-part-1','Getting from Tokyo Airport, Asakusa, The Tokyo Skytree and Ueno','\"I\'m sorry to keep you waiting sir\" said the immigration officer. I had been waiting less than four minutes. Welcome to the always super-efficient Japan. It was good to be back.','<p>I shuffled forward to present my passport to the immigration officer at Tokyo\'s Narita Airport. He flashed me a smile. I mean a proper smile. How often do you see immigration officers do that? And then he said \"I\'m sorry to keep you waiting sir\".</p>\n<p>I had been standing in a queue that consisted of three people for the grand total of four minutes.</p>\n<p>Welcome to the always super-efficient Japan. It was good to be back.</p>\n<p>I shot a glance at my faithful travel companion. Despite a 15-hour journey, which had included a five-hour layover in Hong Kong, the wife looked remarkably chipper. But Japan has always been her dream destination. She loves every aspect of Japanese culture. She also works for a large Japanese company and thinks Japanese bosses make the best bosses in the world. She won\'t hear a bad word about the place.</p>\n<p>This was our second visit to Tokyo. We first went in 2009 so it had taken us six years to get back. The problem had always been time constraints but with my wife\'s company being very generous with their New Year holiday allowance, we seized the opportunity to take a week-long break.</p>\n<h3>The Skyliner</h3>\n<p>We were heading to the Ueno district again. It\'s probably our favorite area of the city. On our previous visit, we stayed in a hotel room that was so small you had to step out into the corridor to change your mind, but this time we\'d booked a whole apartment to ourselves from the Air BnB website.</p>\n<p>Taxis in Tokyo are aimed mainly at multi-millionaires and business people on unlimited expense accounts so the most popular and &lsquo;economical\' option for getting from Narita Airport to downtown Tokyo is the high-speed Keisei Skyliner, which will whisk you from A to B in just over 40 minutes.</p>\n<p>Again it\'s an opportunity to see that unrivalled Japanese efficiency in action. Firstly, you purchase a seat ticket (2,200 yen per person) and then make your way immediately to the adjacent platform.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo7.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Everything is clearly signposted and the trains run every ten minutes at peak periods. Every reserved seat has ample space in front of it to store your suitcase. You don\'t have to summon up Herculean strength to wrestle bulky luggage on to storage racks at the end of each compartment like on so many other train systems.</p>\n<p>The Keisei Skyliner also boasts free wi-fi for all passengers. I spent much of the journey struggling to get a decent connection but I guess it\'s the thought that counts.</p>\n<p>The Skyliner station at Ueno is the end of the line so we \'de-trained\' and wheeled our suitcases up the escalators and into the fading light of a wintry Tokyo late afternoon.</p>\n<p>Our Air BnB apartment was a ten-minute walk away but our Japanese host, Yoichiro-san, had left nothing to chance and had furnished us with detailed directions on how to get there.</p>\n<p>We trundled our suitcases through Ueno\'s familiar main streets, dodging the hordes of weekend shoppers in the process.</p>\n<h3>Homely digs</h3>\n<p>We found the apartment building easily enough and after a problem or two obtaining the room key (<a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/locked-out-with-air-bnb\">a story you can read about in another blog</a>) we were able to access our Tokyo digs for the week ahead.</p>\n<p>At risk of stating the obvious, the apartment was small. Maybe it was designed with a Japanese bachelor in mind but for a couple, it was certainly a squeeze. The entrance hall also served as the kitchen area and off that was a separate toilet and bathroom. The bathroom was about the size of a British telephone box. My wife mastered the art of taking a shower without soaking every surface in the vicinity far quicker than I did.</p>\n<p>The living room was spacious enough though, provided you both rolled up your futons each morning to allow yourself room to walk around.</p>\n<p>Yoichiro-san advertised the apartment on Air BnB as being &lsquo;suitable for up to four people\'. All I can say is that I hope the four people get on well with each other.</p>\n<p>Feeling peckish, we wandered down to the local Lawson\'s convenience store in search of a snack. Lawson\'s are the 7-11 of Japan. They\'re everywhere.</p>\n<p>I love mooching around convenience stores in foreign countries and fondling all those boxes and packets containing strange foodstuffs that you\'ve never eaten, described in a language that you won\'t possibly ever understand. I settled on something that resembled a hamburger, took one bite and chucked the rest of it into a garbage bin outside.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>After a good night\'s sleep, we were eager to hit the streets. There\'s always that nagging worry that you haven\'t packed &lsquo;the right clothes\' but we seemed to have got it spot on for a chilly Tokyo morning and single digit temperatures.</p>\n<p>But first it was definitely time for a coffee. Everywhere you go in Tokyo, there are clusters of vending machines dispensing small cans of steaming hot coffee for little more than a dollar. They\'re a wonderful way to start the day.</p>\n<p>Not only do the vending machines present a terrific opportunity to get rid of all those strange coins that you seem to accumulate but also because clutching a piping hot can between a pair of freezing cold hands is nearly as pleasurable as drinking the contents.</p>\n<h3>Asakusa</h3>\n<p>We were on our way to Asakusa, one of Tokyo\'s most famous Buddhist shrines, and at the risk of eliciting groans from anyone reading - a Tokyo &lsquo;must see\'. The problem with &lsquo;must-sees\' in any city of course is that they are invariably &lsquo;touristy\' and Asakusa is no exception. But even though we\'d been before, it\'s a pleasant place to while away a couple of hours.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>On our first trip to Tokyo in 2009, we never once used the Tokyo subway system but looking at the map, it was just two or three subway stops from Ueno to Asakusa so we decided to give it a go.</p>\n<p>My wife and I are both veterans when it comes to subway systems of the world but at the risk of pissing off any hardcore Tokyophiles out there, the Tokyo system is without doubt the most confusing one I\'ve encountered. I suppose you have to cut it some slack when you have so many lines converging on each other but in my opinion (for what it\'s worth) the signage is poor, there isn\'t anywhere near enough information in English and in many of the stations, there\'s a complete absence of staff to answer questions or guide lost and weary travelers.</p>\n<p>After two days, we all but gave up on the Tokyo subway system. I thought it could be just me and my low tolerance for inadequate signage, but I was reassured when my wife, who spends hours on Asian travel-related forums, told me that apparently Japanese visitors from out of town get just as confused.</p>\n<p>If you\'re intent on getting around Tokyo, then the JR Yamanote line is the way to go. It\'s a train system that runs above the ground and goes in a circular loop that takes about an hour to complete. The JR line stops at all Tokyo\'s major hot spots and even has its own designated stations. Once you\'ve got the JR Yamanote line sussed, you can leave the subway system to the salarymen and the misguided adventurous.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Tokyo2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We wandered around Asakusa for an hour or two. The whole area was busy with tourists taking selfies. Do you remember the days when someone with a camera would assemble a small group of friends or family to pose for a photograph and click a button on the count of three? What happened to that? It seems such a distant memory now.</p>\n<p>Although the Buddhist shrine is undoubtedly the main attraction, an equal number of sightseers go to browse the nearby street market and to sample some of the local foods. My wife is one of those travelers who thinks in situations like this you simply have to try everything on offer. So within half an hour, I\'d eaten a Japanese ice cream, a steamed bun thing with a strange red filling and something called &lsquo;melon bread\' - on account that it tasted like bread and looked like a melon.</p>\n<p>What I did find interesting was how numerous food shops displayed a sign forbidding - or rather discouraging - people from walking around and eating food at the same time. This activity is clearly frowned upon in Tokyo and seen as &lsquo;rather common behavior\'. Or perhaps it\'s just Asakusa where they get the hump.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo5.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>The rip-off Tokyo Skytree</h3>\n<p>Japan is an expensive country to visit. We all know that. However, in all the time I\'ve spent there, only once have I ever felt &lsquo;ripped off\'. Step forward The Tokyo Skytree and take a well-deserved bow.</p>\n<p>The Tokyo Skytree was opened in 2011 and is now officially the tallest broadcasting and observation tower in the world. The tower is walking distance from Asakusa and dominates the surrounding skyline, which is a godsend if you have my appalling sense of direction.</p>\n<p>When we reached the base of the tower, there were ridiculously long queues to take the elevator to the top. Being in the middle of the school holidays obviously didn\'t help.</p>\n<p>I forget exactly how many Japanese yen the ascent cost but it was enough to make me gulp or lie to the wife that I\'d suddenly become petrified of heights. But there was no way she was falling for that old chestnut.</p>\n<p>Then upon further inspection of a notice-board displaying the admission prices, it became apparent that by handing over even more money, you could join a special &lsquo;express line\' for tourists (or for those who were just in a hurry) - and then nonchalantly wave at the lower orders as you sauntered towards the elevator doors. I found the whole thing most distasteful and &lsquo;un-Japanese\'</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Tokyo3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>\"There\'s no way I\'m paying that amount of dough to go up a bloody tower\" I said.</p>\n<p>\"But we\'re on holiday\" said the wife.</p>\n<p>\"You\'re right\" I replied \"two tickets for the express line please\"</p>\n<p>And we made our way inside, my wife trembling with anticipation and me with a face as long as a gasman\'s mac. I then had to start shedding layers of clothing because they\'d turned up the heating to a ridiculous level. I genuinely felt like punching someone.</p>\n<p>The views from the top of the observation tower were breathtaking. That said, views generally are when you\'re looking down from the top of a very tall structure - except we weren\'t even at the top. For the payment of another not inconsiderable fee, we could go up a further few levels to The Skywalk. Or was it The Skydome? Who cares, because I certainly wasn\'t paying it.</p>\n<p>And the Skytree\'s distasteful solicitation of funds didn\'t end there. You could pay to have a professional photograph glazed onto a tacky souvenir plate. You could pay to enter The Star Wars Movie Experience. There was just no end to it. Families with three or four kids must have walked out of there bankrupt.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t wait to leave. I don\'t think I gained a second of pleasure from the whole Skytree experience. I was certainly 10,000 Yen poorer.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Tokyo4.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Our beloved Ueno</h3>\n<p>But to put smiles back on our faces, the evening was spent walking around the Ueno shopping area. This is the Tokyo we love and the Tokyo we come to see.</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure if I can refer to Ueno as a &lsquo;working class area\' but by Japanese standards, it always comes across as a bit rough around the edges, a bit more &lsquo;low down and dirty\'. We love it!</p>\n<p>It\'s packed with restaurants, amusement arcades, glitzy patchinko parlours, shops selling fresh and dried seafood, discount cosmetic stores and trendy clothes shops. The whole neighborhood is like one big street party.</p>\n<p>It\'s also a place where you\'ll hear more spoken Thai than you would in the middle of Siam Square. During the New Year period, Tokyo is one of the most popular destinations for Thai travelers. Actually, you don\'t even need to eavesdrop on conversations; you can spot the Thais a mile off. As the Japanese, Koreans and younger generation Chinese stroll around in their black fur-lined parkas and dark grey trench coats, there will be the sudden flash of Mahboonkrong ski jacket in a bright shade of red or yellow. And you know a Thai person is not going to be too far away.</p>\n<p>But I\'m going to leave you with this final thought from our first full day in Tokyo and I realize I might be on shaky ground here. Why is it that certain groups from certain nationalities have an uncanny ability to bring a neighborhood down and to turn a cheerful atmosphere into something dark and menacing?</p>\n<p>I pondered these thoughts as my wife and I walked around Ueno - generally having a whale of a time - and suddenly found ourselves in a narrow street flanked by Middle Eastern kebab shops.</p>\n<p>Now I appreciate that everyone has to make a living but the modus operandi for the majority of these kebab sellers seemed to consist of placing a huge, imposing Middle Eastern or African gentleman outside to try and lure in customers. And this they achieved by accosting, manhandling and obstructing passers-by who were simply going about their daily business.</p>\n<p>When they weren\'t physically trying to force customers into their shops, the Middle Eastern guys, predictably the good-looking, cockier types, took great pleasure from wolf-whistling and aiming crude chat-up lines at pretty Japanese girls as they walked home alone.</p>\n<p>I would have found the whole scenario pathetic if it hadn\'t made me so angry.</p>\n<p>I desperately wanted to approach one of these guys and ask them what they were about. Here they were in a country with the politest, calmest and most non-confrontational people on the planet. So who exactly has given you the right to act like such a twat?</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in.....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-two\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 2)&nbsp;-&nbsp;A day trip to Yokohama</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-3\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 3) -&nbsp;The shopping neighborhoods of Harajuku and Shibuya</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/locked-out-with-air-bnb\">Locked out with Air B\'n\'B - Frustrations with using the popular accommodation website</a></p>','','2016-01-08 03:49:44',1,'2016-01-08 03:49:44','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30525,59,'On teaching classroom language','on-teaching-classroom-language','Getting students to use simple English all the time','Whenever confronted with students who speak Thai in class, I considered it an opportune moment to teach them the right structures.','<p>I admit for some time I was one of those language teachers who    failed to teach classroom language in an authentic way. When teaching the topic, I just followed the syllabus given to me by the school for mere compliance.</p>\n<p>I  would cover it  and  would teach it in a very ordinary  way like  providing pictures of classroom language like, may I go out, may I borrow your pen, thank you, goodbye, may I come in etc., drilled students   and  required    them to memorize  the structures.</p>\n<p>On several occasions, I would overlook the teachable moments when the students could learn the language naturally. Look at some instances  which I rectified when I learned about teaching classroom language authentically.</p>\n<p>1. While writing on the board, students would say, \"Teacher, yabung.\" (Meaning the student can\'t see the writings on the board for his vision is blocked by the teacher.) My response was to continue writing and moved to the side so that the student could see. I would only say,  \"Wait I am still writing.\"Just that.</p>\n<p>2. When students said \"pasawa\" I would say okay. For I understood they wanted to go the toilet to urinate.  Just that.</p>\n<p>3. When I asked, &lsquo;Have you finished?\" They would answer, \"Yang. \" And I would leave it like that.</p>\n<p>This was one disadvantage of knowing Thai that I took things for granted when students communicated with me. As a result students    were unable to use the classroom language they learned.</p>\n<p>Thanks to Mr. David Gaily, a speaker in one of our seminars in Chulalongkorn University who talked about teaching the communicative way. His lecture woke me up from my deep slumber and gave me the idea of teaching classroom language in an authentic way. Therefore, whenever confronted with students who speak Thai in class, I considered it an opportune moment for teaching them the right structures.  So, these are now the ways how I handle them.</p>\n<p>1. When students say \"Kin num.\" I insist that students say, \"May I drink, Teacher.\"The student can\'t go unless he/she can say the right sentence in English.</p>\n<p>2. When students receive worksheets, colors, pens, notebooks, spelling notebooks, or their plastic envelopes, and when I hear, \"Khop khoon krub.\" I tell them, Thank you. And the rest say thank you.</p>\n<p>3. When I ask, where their books are? They answer, \"Yoo ban. \" I tell them. \"I left it at home.\" Surprisingly when this situation comes again, they answer \"Sorry teacher, I left it at home.\"</p>\n<p>4. When asked, \"Where is your pen?\" and they answer \"Hai law.\" Ah, lost.  Say, \"Teacher, it\'s lost.\"</p>\n<p>5. When they come late, I ask,\" Why are you late?\" They answer. \"Tam ti hong.\" So, you worked in the room. Say \"I worked in the room.\"</p>\n<p>6. When I want them to work fast I erase the words right away. So they say, \"Cha cha, Teacher.\" I teach them. \"Slowly, Teacher.\"  Next time, they say, \"Slowly, Teacher.\"</p>\n<p>7. When they ask, \"Wanee wanti tao aray?\"  I tell them. \"Teacher, what\'s the date today?</p>\n<p>8. \"Teacher, Yang lob mi mai?\"  \"Teacher, may I erase?\"</p>\n<p>9. \"Teacher, yeam dictionary.\" I say, \"May I please borrow a dictionary?\"</p>\n<p>Once students are taught what to say they believe it because it is the teacher saying it. So it is important that even simple structures are to be corrected so that they get used to the correct language.</p>\n<p>Of course, knowing the language of the students helps too, but it is more helpful if we teach the right structure to our students in English.</p>\n<p>If we provide more opportunities for students to apply this in their daily activities in the classroom, it becomes a part of them and without any effort they speak correctly, grow confidence in speaking, and enjoy the ability to speak English.</p>','','2016-01-08 06:00:24',1,'2016-01-08 06:00:24','2016-01-08 20:08:25'),(30527,10,'Seven days in Tokyo (part 2)','seven-days-in-tokyo-part-two','A day trip to Yokohama','Yokohama seemed like the perfect opportunity to explore a little more of Japan itself and get out of the big city and take a look at....er....a slightly smaller one.','<p>The problem with visiting a city for the second time - even when the trips are six years apart - is that you get a feeling you\'ve pretty much seen everything already - certainly the main sights and attractions on your A-list. So you are now left with two choices.</p>\n<p>You can either back-track and visit places you\'ve been to before, which I\'m not enthusiastic about simply because you can never recapture the magic and wow factor of that first time. Or you can look further afield and venture outside of the city on a day trip.</p>\n<h3>Seeing more of Japan</h3>\n<p>Over the past couple of centuries, Yokohama, just south of Tokyo, has developed from a small fishing village into Japan\'s largest port and shipbuilding centre. It\'s also Japan\'s second largest city in terms of population (don\'t say I never teach you anything)</p>\n<p>Yokohama seemed like the perfect opportunity to explore a little more of Japan itself and get out of the big city and take a look at....er....a slightly smaller one.</p>\n<h3>A wonderful train system</h3>\n<p>Getting to Yokohama from Tokyo is a breeze. There are numerous train lines connecting the two cities (I won\'t bore you with the details) and the journey takes 30-40 minutes. Because there is no visible &lsquo;divide\' between the two cities - such as fields of cows and a nice bit of countryside - you almost get the sense Yokohama is just one big extension of the capital. But on arrival, there is definitely a different &lsquo;feel\' to the place.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Yokohama makes the perfect day out even if the idea of a port and shipbuilding doesn\'t exactly set your pulse racing. But I urge you to stick with it.</p>\n<p>We got off the train at Yokohama\'s main station. It really is glorious. By jingo, do the Japanese know how to construct a major train station. Everywhere is light and airy with attractive shops, restaurants and coffee bars and the occasional plaque or bronze statue to pique your interest. Even the spotlessly clean platforms sparkled in the morning sunlight.</p>\n<p>What a contrast to many of their European counterparts - dark, dank subterranean caverns with weathered gypsies begging for your small change and notices on every wall reminding you to beware of pickpockets.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately there was precious little time to linger. We had a full day in Yokohama ahead of us so we made our way to the tourist information center. We had done some research on Yokohama while back home in Thailand and knew that Japan\'s second city had far too much to see in a single day. We would have to be selective.</p>\n<h3>Making plans</h3>\n<p>The kindly lady in the tourist information center spread out a largish map on her desk and marked out a recommended walking route based on what attractions we wanted to see. Our walk would start at the station and finish in Yokohama\'s Chinatown on the other side of the city. \"You can always catch the subway train back if you are feeling tired or it\'s getting late\" she said.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>As we left the station, I noticed a smallish construction consisting of four clear perspex walls. It was about the size of one of those smoking rooms that you get at large international airports. And that\'s exactly what it was - a smoking area. Another way that Japanese culture has changed is the way it frowns on people walking along the street and puffing away on a cigarette. Instead, smokers are now confined to satisfying their addiction from behind perspex.</p>\n<p>There were about half a dozen smokers in there and not one of them looked like they were enjoying the moment. They all wore guilty expressions as if indulging in something illicit and underhand. Further proof I suppose - if you ever needed it - of just how much smokers are being pushed further and further to the edges of modern society.</p>\n<h3>Futuristic!</h3>\n<p>The area immediately around Yokohama train station is of little interest - it\'s mainly flyovers and pedestrian bridges and it\'s all a bit grey and concrete. But walk half a kilometer towards the city center, pause at the first major intersection to take in your surroundings - and your mouth falls open. This isn\'t a modern city. It\'s positively futuristic!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo10.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Why had no one told me about Yokohama before because it looked incredible? Everything, and I mean everything, looked as though it had been planned down to the last detail in order to make the city a place its inhabitants could be proud of. The buildings, the roads, the flower-beds, the footpaths - even the fire escapes were aesthetically pleasing and looked as if someone had polished them to a shine that very morning.</p>\n<p>I felt like I was playing the lead role in a science fiction movie. All that was missing was a few locals out walking their dog, all wearing silver suits (including the dog) and sipping liquid protein meals from a plastic pouch.</p>\n<h3>A boy once again!</h3>\n<p>We soon found ourselves in the Minato Mirai area of the city (Minato Marai literally means &lsquo;future port\') It\'s an office, entertainment, shopping and cultural area located on Tokyo Bay and home to many of Yokohama\'s best attractions.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Our first port of call was the magnificent Hara Model Railway Museum - admission price a very reasonable 1,000 Yen. The museum was opened in 2012, mainly to show off Mr Nobaturo Hara\'s incredible collection of model trains. And what a collection it is! According to the museum website, it\'s the largest collection of faithfully recreated model trains in the world.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo11.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>You can have no interest in model trains whatsoever but I defy anyone not to be impressed by the rooms full of miniature carriages and engines fastidiously displayed in glass showcases and the highlight of the show - a fully working model of the city complete with its own intricate railway network. There\'s just something about watching model trains that makes you feel like a young boy again. I felt very happy.</p>\n<p>But what makes the Hara Museum extra special is the staff. There are people who are passionate about what they do. There are those who are extremely passionate about what they do. And then there are people who spend all day tinkering about with model trains. Put a station-master\'s cap on their head and a flag in their hand and I\'m convinced they could go without food and water for days.</p>\n<p>The museum staff were almost all retired pensioners but their English was excellent. I engaged one or two of them in conversation - one old boy even gave me a hat to wear - and you could tell that just talking about trains was enough to bring them to a state of rapture. These are people who dream about diesel locomotives in their sleep. They go about their work with immeasurable pride and we came away from the museum with nothing but good thoughts towards the world.</p>\n<h3>Kids and more kids!</h3>\n<p>Next on the agenda was something for the wife - The Anpanman Children\'s Museum and Mall. Anpanman is apparently a children\'s comic book super hero and very little escapes my wife in the world of Japanese comic books.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo12.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Alas, we were in the middle of the Japanese school holidays and whilst we expected there to be a few children around, we didn\'t expect quite this many. The museum was bedlam! And that was just the entrance area. It was as if every naughty child in Yokohama had been let out of their cages and strait-jackets for the day. The wife and I took one look at each other and it was a case of two minds with a single thought. We decided to give the museum a wide berth.</p>\n<h3>Fairground fun</h3>\n<p>One thing every visitor has to do in Yokohama is go round on the Cosmo Clock 21, the large ferris wheel that you can see from just about anywhere in the neighborhood. The Cosmo was the largest ferris wheel in the world until Osaka trumped it in 1997 with an even bigger one (the swines!)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo13.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Yokohama\'s wheel is part of an amusement park that has several big rides and a selection of traditional fairground stalls where you attempt to stick three darts in a card or get balls to stay in a bucket (that sort of thing) and while it won\'t give Disneyland any sleepless nights, it was a fun place to spend an hour even if fairgrounds and all that go with them are not really my bag.</p>\n<p>However, I\'m always up for the challenge of knocking down six tin cans with three bean bags. I was determined to win my wife one of those huge Japanese cuddly toys because we\'d seen a young couple strolling around the fairground with one earlier and I was determined not to be outdone.</p>\n<p>Sad to say I was unsuccessful with three attempts so we wandered into an amusement arcade and tried our luck on the endless rows of grab machines and &lsquo;penny falls\' - and waved goodbye to even more of our holiday spending money in the process.</p>\n<p>Oh, the ferris wheel was superb by the way and when you got to the very top of the revolution, you gained a whole new perspective on just what a magnificent city Yokohama is.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo14.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>But before we leave the fairground, let me give a special mention to the cute, giggly Japanese girls who ran the tin can stalls. What a pleasure it was to do business with them despite walking away without a prize. How refreshing to see fairground workers create a sense of fun and enjoyment. Such a marked contrast to your average British fairground where some weather-beaten, bearded female with meaty arms will shout \"come on luv, try your luck\' without even removing the fag from her cakehole.</p>\n<h3>Mr Ando\'s cup noodles</h3>\n<p>Now then, if you thought there couldn\'t possibly be anything interesting about a simple pot of cup noodles, you couldn\'t be more wrong. You\'ve obviously never been to Yokohama\'s Cup Noodle Museum, which was our next stop.</p>\n<p>The museum celebrates the life story and work of Momofuku Ando, &lsquo;the father of instant noodles\'. In 1958, Mr Ando beavered away in a shed at the bottom of his Osaka garden to perfect a method of adding hot water to dry noodles to produce an instant, tasty snack. Story has it that he slept for four hours a day and never took a day off.  The rest is history. Packet chicken ramen became an overnight sensation and the cup noodle followed in 1971 when the entrepreneurial Mr Ando, during a business trip to America, got the inspiration for putting noodles in a cup along with a plastic fork.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo15.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The Cup Noodle Museum was worth every yen of the admission price. There\'s a whole room of display cases devoted to showing how the cup noodle packaging has evolved over the decades. There are interactive displays, even a faithful reconstruction of Mr Ando\'s garden shed. For an extra charge, visitors can sit in an art studio and design their own noodle cup - something which looked to be enormously popular with the youngsters.</p>\n<p>Visitors are then encouraged to take a seat in the museum\'s very own movie theatre to watch a 20-minute animated film of Mr Ando\'s life and the birth of his invention. The short film was wonderful. It would have been even more enjoyable if there had been English subtitles.</p>\n<p>\"You would think that with all the non-Japanese-speaking visitors who come here, they\'d have put subtitles on the screen\" I remarked to my wife as we left the theatre.</p>\n<p>\"You have to wear the English language headsets\" she replied.</p>\n<p>\"What English language headsets?\"</p>\n<p>\"Didn\'t you see them at the entrance?\" she said, in a manner that suggested I\'d completely lost the plot.</p>\n<p>\"So let me just have a recap\" I said, \"You\'ve sat in that movie theatre with me and watched a film that you can\'t understand - despite knowing that there were English language headsets available. In other words, you kept that crucial information from me.</p>\n<p>She confessed that I had pretty much got the story straight. It\'s times like this when I realize why I love her so much.</p>\n<h3>A disappointing end</h3>\n<p>We then enjoyed a walk along Yokohama\'s charming harbor front and had a quick look at something called the red brick warehouse (a huge dockside warehouse that had been converted into retail outlets) We weren\'t in the mood for a shopping center of any description so we pushed on to our final destination - Yokohama\'s Chinatown. It turned out to be the day\'s biggest disappointment.</p>\n<p>I guess I have an image in my mind of what I expect from Chinatowns around the world. There should be firecrackers, mad prancing dragons, gaudy elaborate face masks, steamed buns sold from a handcart and old Chinese fellas wearing grubby singlets and pushing barrows down narrow lanes.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo16.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Yokohama\'s Chinatown had none of that. It announces itself to the world with an enormous archway that says &lsquo;Welcome to Chinatown\' and immediately loses heart. We wandered along its busy streets and after barely half an hour, became jaded by reading too many expensive restaurant menus (and my god were they expensive) and browsing too many gift shops stocked floor to ceiling with the most hideous tourist tat. I\'m not sure exactly who the neighborhood was trying to appeal to and attract.</p>\n<p>But Chinatown notwithstanding, we had thoroughly enjoyed our day in amazing Yokohama. If you ever find yourself in Tokyo for an extended period - don\'t miss it!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in.....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-1\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 1)&nbsp;-&nbsp;Getting from Tokyo Airport, Asakusa, The Tokyo Skytree and Ueno</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-3\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 3) -&nbsp;The shopping neighborhoods of Harajuku and Shibuya</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/locked-out-with-air-bnb\">Locked out with Air B\'n\'B - Frustrations with using the popular accommodation website</a></p>','','2016-01-09 02:32:59',1,'2016-01-09 02:32:59','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30533,20,'Language school memoirs','language-school-memoirs','Tales from an academic director / recruiter','I was a lead teacher, academic director and recruiter for a private Thai language school with several branches. I did this job for well over a decade and as you would expect - there\'s a story or two.','<p><strong>Right or rich?</strong></p>\n<p>\"I just need him to practice his test-taking strategy for ten hours. He is willing to come every day from Monday to Friday of next week for two hours a day. The actual test itself is on Saturday. He doesn\'t have that much time\"</p>\n<p>They were the words of a loving mother who only wanted the best for her son. As she begged the Thai school director to sign him up for ten hours of one-to-one study, she nodded towards the floppy-haired youth sitting in a corner of the school reception. OK, the young man had left it far too late to study towards achieving a good test score - but so does nearly every other student here.</p>\n<p>\"All I\'m asking for is a quick ten-hour course\", the mother begged.</p>\n<p>But the Thai school manager wouldn\'t budge. She handed the boy\'s mother a laminated price list. \"We can tailor a course for your son\" she said \"but 20 hours is the minimum number of hours that we sell.</p>\n<p>Both myself and another teacher happened to be in the reception at the same time and we eavesdropped on the conversation in horror. We were both working for a start-up language school that was desperate for business. The two full-time teachers - Steve and I - both needed the work. The school needed the income. We hadn\'t had a paying customer through the door for weeks. And now here was a student being turned away.</p>\n<p>Eventually the boy\'s mother realized the situation was hopeless. She shrugged her shoulders, let out a heavy sigh and made for the exit door with her son dragging his feet behind her.</p>\n<p>The Thai language owner had won. But won what exactly?</p>\n<p>Steve had only been at the school a month but I had warmed to him immediately. He was one of those middle-aged men who had gone through a mid-life crisis back in The States and had somehow ended up as a teacher in Thailand. With very little to do and certainly no students to teach, Steve and I would often retire to the teachers room and I would listen to tales from his varied career.  Steve had crammed a lot into his fifty-six years. He managed a whole chain of restaurants on America\'s West Coast. He\'d been a professional photographer. A brochure design artist. You name it.</p>\n<p>But what I loved most of all was listening to Steve\'s business and life lessons. He had dozens of them and I took them all on board.</p>\n<p>On the day the mother was turned away by the Thai school owner because she only wanted to pay for ten hours of study, Steve came up to me in a quiet moment and said \"you learned another important life lesson today, Phil\"</p>\n<p>\"There are people in this world who would rather be right than rich. Let me tell you something - being rich is better\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">The agency scammers</span></p>\n<p>Teacher placement agencies - companies that supply English teachers to client schools - haven\'t actually been around all that long.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t until the end of the 1990\'s that the agency boom started and entrepreneurs realised there was good money to be made from supplying English teachers to schools who had grown tired and frustrated at handling the recruitment process themselves.</p>\n<p>I was sitting in my head teacher\'s office one morning, performing some routine tasks on the computer, when in walked a somewhat unlikely couple. He was a young, very quietly spoken African guy (Nigerian, I later found out) and she was probably East European judging by the accent. She did all the talking and was clearly the brains behind the operation.</p>\n<p>They introduced themselves as a new teacher placement agency and had just opened an office five minute\'s walk from the school I was working for. The female half of the dynamic duo went on to explain that although they\'d only been in business a month, they had won several large school contracts, their reputation was growing, and business was booming. Would my school be interested in using their services?</p>\n<p>The answer to that question was no - but being inquisitive and having nothing better to do, I asked if I could take a walk down the soi and see their office set-up. Perhaps my school might use them in the future if we got truly desperate for teaching staff.</p>\n<p>Later that day I knocked on the door of the address the agents had scribbled down on a piece of paper (they were still waiting for business cards) and was welcomed into a shophouse that obviously served as both an office and living quarters.</p>\n<p>I was appalled by the squalor they were living and working in. The \'office section\' was nothing more than a battered old desk, a couple of phones, an ancient desktop computer and miles of tangled cable. Beyond that was a kitchen of sorts with a rusty sink largely obscured by a teetering pile of dirty plates and mugs. Next to that were at least a dozen empty pizza boxes that no one could be bothered to throw away.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t imagine a company that I would be less likely to hand over my recruitment needs to. I chatted for ten minutes out of pure politeness, made my excuses and left.</p>\n<p>I\'ll admit that over the next few weeks, whenever these two agents came up in conversation, I was less than complimentary. But I was only telling the truth. First impressions count and I was only relaying what I had seen with my own eyes.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, word got out to the agents that I was \'badmouthing\' them (if telling the truth counts as badmouthing) and they both stormed into my office one afternoon just as I was getting ready to go home. Well, the female half stormed into my office, her African partner (the quiet one) seemed to be there just to carry her handbag.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The female agent was angry. &nbsp;Accusations flew and fingers were pointed. I told them straight that their business set-up had filled me with zero confidence. Eventually she calmed down and they both left. I heard nothing for a couple of weeks.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Then I got a phone call from a Thai lady working for a large school in East Bangkok asking if I knew the whereabouts of such-and-such a teacher agency. The lady went on to say that the school had handed over a large sum of money as a deposit for supplying teachers and now the agency couldn\'t be contacted. It was almost as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth.</p>\n<p>Yes, I told the lady I knew the agents in question and I offered to walk down the soi and check in on them. When I arrived, the shop-house &nbsp;was in darkness and the front door padlocked.</p>\n<p>What none of us knew at that moment was that the dynamic duo were already on the first plane to Lagos. As the story unfolded, the couple had managed to con almost a dozen schools in Bangkok. One institute was into them for over a million baht.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The agents were never seen or heard of again. Now that was some seriously easy money.</p>\n<p><strong>The teacher stinks!</strong></p>\n<p>I have never been a fan of student surveys. I\'ve always felt that asking for anonymous student feedback to questions such as \"what did you dislike about the lessons?\" and \"how could your teacher\'s lessons be improved?\" are just asking for trouble. I\'ve seen student surveys do irreparable &nbsp;damage to teacher / student relationships and drive a wedge between the foreign teachers and school bosses and admin.</p>\n<p>Students need to fully understand the questions being asked of them and from my experience, too many times they didn\'t. Student surveys, particularly those filled in by adult students and corporate groups too often became an opportunity to stick a knife into the teacher\'s back - especially if the student hadn\'t performed well on the course or flunked a final exam.</p>\n<p>Student surveys were par for the course at one language school I worked at and at the end of the questionnaire came the dreaded \'any other comments\' box. This gave students a licence to go to town and dance on a teacher\'s grave if they felt that way inclined.</p>\n<p>But at this school at least teachers got to see the forms for themselves and digest the feedback, as hurtful as some of those comments might have been.</p>\n<p>At the end of one particular month-long April term, an adult student in his mid-20s, who none of the teachers liked I might add, decided to really tell it like it was and in the \'any other comments\' box wrote \"the teacher smells really bad\"</p>\n<p>It was the end of April - the hottest month of the year in Thailand - and while I\'ll admit that there were days when the teacher in question could be a bit ripe, I don\'t think the odours were anything you could sew a button on. And of course no teacher in the world wants an unpopular student telling them that they stink.</p>\n<p>Those of us who were sat around in the teachers\' room that day were treated to a barrage of swear words as the teacher with questionable personal hygiene kicked in locker doors and threatened to meet his student outside for pistols at dawn.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I felt sorry for the teacher because he was genuinely one of the best I had ever worked with. He was a guy who cared about his students making progress and put he 100% effort into every single lesson.</p>\n<p>Perhaps one of us should have approached this delicate matter with him or maybe subtly left a can of deodorant on his desk with a note attached saying \'please use me\'.</p>\n<p>Always a difficult situation. &nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">When is guaranteed income not a guaranteed income?</span></p>\n<p>I\'m not sure whether private language schools still offer something called &lsquo;a guaranteed income\' as part of a teacher\'s contract but it was quite a common &lsquo;package\' for a language school to offer its better teachers in the past.</p>\n<p>Basically it worked like this. Even though the teacher may be working at the school for an hourly rate, the teacher would be considered &lsquo;full time\' and there would be a clause in the teacher\'s contract stating that the school promised to pay the teacher X amount per month regardless of how many hours they taught (up to a target figure).</p>\n<p>Teach 100 hours a month (or whatever the target is) and you get 30,000 baht. Teach 50 hours a month (because business is slow) and you still get 30,000. That\'s how guaranteed income works. If the school can\'t find the teacher enough hours, it\'s the school\'s fault.</p>\n<p>You could see the logic in offering a guaranteed income package. The language school teacher had the security of knowing that they would earn enough money each month to pay rent and feed themselves, etc - even in those &lsquo;slow\' months like April and December, when students cancelled lessons to go on vacations, do other things, etc and business dropped off alarmingly.</p>\n<p>It was also a way for private language schools to attract decent, loyal teachers. Yet I was constantly amazed by how much trouble schools had with applying rules that they themselves had come up with.</p>\n<p>I worked at a language school in the mid-90s, who were kind enough to offer me one of these &lsquo;guaranteed income deals\'. If I remember correctly, the hourly teaching rate at the school was 250 baht. We had a number of teachers who just came to do a &lsquo;few hours in the evening\' and 250 baht an hour was exactly what they were paid. If you taught thirty hours a month, you received 30 x 250 baht in your pay packet. Simple</p>\n<p>But the &lsquo;guaranteed income package\' made things far more complicated. It shouldn\'t have done - but it did.</p>\n<p>As a full-time teacher, I was also on a pay rate of 250 baht an hour but I was guaranteed a monthly income of 30,000 baht. If you divide that 30K by 250 baht an hour you get 75 hours. And that was my target - 75 hours a month</p>\n<p>In a busy month, where I would teach say, 100 hours, I would get the 30K &lsquo;guaranteed income\' (for the first 75 hours) plus extra pay for the 25 hours &lsquo;overtime\'.</p>\n<p>Are you still with me?</p>\n<p>However, the problems arose when business at the school went quiet and I (and other teachers) failed to reach that 75 hour target.</p>\n<p>Let\'s say we ended up doing 60 classroom hours that month.</p>\n<p>Instead of the school paying us our 30,000 baht salary and taking full responsibility for not giving its teachers enough hours (which is the whole point of a &lsquo;guaranteed income\') the management would say \"OK, there was a shortfall of 15 hours this month, so next month your target is raised to 90 hours\"</p>\n<p>That logic was just ridiculous. There was no point in being on guaranteed income - or even calling it a guaranteed income - if you had to somehow &lsquo;pay back\' the hours you owed in the following months.</p>\n<p>I sat in front of the school director for what seemed like hours trying to put across my argument. I filled endless sheets of A4 paper with figures and diagrams. But he just didn\'t get it.</p>\n<p>I heard similar stories from teachers at other private language schools as well.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Teacher power!</span></p>\n<p>When I joined my first private language school, I went out of my way to be as friendly as possible to all the people around me - teaching colleagues, Thai staff, the school owner, etc. I suppose it\'s human nature to want to be regarded as &lsquo;the nice guy\' at a new place of work.</p>\n<p>But after several months, a new Thai employee was taken on as a student advisor and this woman pushed everyone to their limits, especially the foreign teaching staff.</p>\n<p>No one really knew her story. Had she had some bad experience with a foreign husband? But whatever her back story was, she had turned into the classic &lsquo;farang hater\'. She must have been awake half the night devising ways to make our lives a misery.</p>\n<p>And regardless of how politely you asked for her help, the end result was always the same. You would be scolded like a five-year-old kid who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.</p>\n<p>\"Excuse me, do you know when the service people are going to come and fix the photocopier?\"</p>\n<p>\"How the bloody hell should I know. I don\'t work for the bloody photocopier company\"</p>\n<p>Hard to believe but sometimes this would happen in front of adult students who were sitting in reception waiting for their lesson.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, complaining about her behavior was pointless. She had secured her position because of her connections within the company. She had one of those Thai surnames that indicated an aristocratic bloodline and a name that got maximum respect from other Thais (whether deserved or not) and she carried a handbag to school that was probably worth more than all the foreign teachers\' bank accounts put together.</p>\n<p>She was bulletproof.</p>\n<p>Eventually, things reached breaking point and the situation became intolerable. She started to play her own little games purely to spite the foreign teaching staff.</p>\n<p>The language school had a very strict student cancellation policy. If a student did not cancel before 4pm on the day before their lesson, they would be charged in full. Not only that, but the teacher would also be paid and if it was the last lesson of the day, the teacher could go home early. It was a most agreeable arrangement.</p>\n<p>But the power trips and the mind games took over as the student advisor took phone calls from students wanting to cancel lessons but decided not to tell the teachers concerned. Why should the farang scum get to go home early and not her?</p>\n<p>The teachers decided that something needed to be done and it\'s still to this day, one of the few times I\'ve witnessed a show of &lsquo;teacher power\'.</p>\n<p>We held a late evening teachers\' meeting in the largest empty classroom and things got quite heated. Fists were banged on the table. We would go directly to the school owner and demand that the problem staff member be removed.</p>\n<p>Unbeknown to us, the student advisor from Hell was standing behind the door and eavesdropping on the conversation. Suddenly the door was flung open, and with a face crimson with rage, she shouted \"You faggots! Look at you all sitting there you useless bunch of faggots!\" And having said her piece, she left.</p>\n<p>We did go to the school owner the following day and the &lsquo;faggot\' outburst only served to give us more ammunition.</p>\n<p>A couple of days later, the student advisor was moved to another branch and you\'ve never seen a happier bunch of teachers.</p>\n<p>Teacher power!</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>The fine art of interviewing</strong></p>\n<p>\"I never employ a person who has been teaching in Thailand for more than three years\"</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t quite believe what I was hearing. I was enjoying a spot of lunch with Greg. He was the owner of a language school on Rama 4 Road in Bangkok and the school was doing incredibly well. They were actually turning customers away because their weekend kids\' classes were full and Greg was already on the lookout for a suitable location for a second branch.</p>\n<p>Greg was an Englishman in his mid-thirties, qualified to the hilt as a teacher and an astute business person to boot. I had known Greg for many years and he always liked to &lsquo;pick my brains\' on certain aspects of the TEFL profession in Thailand.</p>\n<p>But having steered the conversation towards hiring and firing foreign teachers, this new revelation was way out of left field.</p>\n<p>\"Seriously? You never hire teachers who have been here longer than three years?\" I said.</p>\n<p>Surely there must be some method in his madness I thought and urged Greg to go into more detail.</p>\n<p>\"Teachers who have been here for several years have generally lost sight of what it\'s like to work for a good employer and to work at a great language school. They\'ve probably had half a dozen jobs already and been badly treated at all of them. So they bring all their negativity and emotional baggage with them. I don\'t want that. I\'ll admit that it\'s very often not the teacher\'s fault. It\'s the fault of the system. But those are my rules...and at the end of the day it\'s my show\"</p>\n<p>Personally, I never ever refused a teacher an interview opportunity on the basis of how long they had been in the country but I did devise my own ingenious way of sorting out the interview wheat from the interview chaff.</p>\n<p>My pre-interview &lsquo;test\' or questionnaire consisted of four sides of A4 paper with 10 questions printed on them and space underneath to answer each one.</p>\n<p>None of the questions were particularly taxing. What would you do if you wanted to conduct a pair-work activity and you had an odd number of students? Give an example of a sentence using the present perfect continuous? What do you think makes a good teacher in a Thai classroom? That sort of thing.</p>\n<p>When a teacher came to me for an interview, I\'d put them in an empty classroom, give them the &lsquo;test\' and tell them I would return in thirty minutes.</p>\n<p>Now here\'s the rub. I wasn\'t particularly interested in the answers the teacher gave for each question. OK, if the teacher had really struggled with the test, then there was cause for concern. However, what I was most interested in was ATTITUDE - the teacher\'s attitude towards investing half an hour of their time and performing the task put before them.</p>\n<p>Hopefully these two contrasting interview stories will show you what I mean.</p>\n<p>Paul had recently arrived from England and simply wanted the opportunity to teach in Thailand. He had no qualifications and no classroom experience. I think he may have done a short on-line TEFL course but that was all.</p>\n<p>I gave Paul my paper test as the first part of the interview process. When I stuck my head around the door after 30 minutes, Paul asked me if he could have more time. He was barely half-way through.</p>\n<p>I was impressed with Paul\'s attitude. All of his test answers were detailed and well thought out. He had taken the task very seriously indeed and I decided to take a punt on this inexperienced teacher. After a week\'s in-house training, he was ready to be let loose in a classroom.</p>\n<p>Paul worked for the language school for almost two years, became one of the star teachers and never gave me a minute\'s grief. Last I heard he had gone on to a well-paid university position. Hearing about his success came as no surprise to me.</p>\n<p>And then there was Doug.</p>\n<p>Doug had walked into the language centre one afternoon, without an appointment, to ask if there were any teaching positions available.</p>\n<p>Everything was wrong about him. He was shabbily dressed, was living in a guest house in Banglampoo, and pulled a dog-eared resume from a battered old backpack. The resume showed he\'d been TEFLing in at least four other countries - none of which he\'d lasted more than six months in. But out of common curtesy, I offered him an interview.</p>\n<p>I gave him my ten-question teacher test and left the room. When I returned, the test was in exactly the same position on the desk. Doug hadn\'t even bothered to pick it up. To add insult to injury, he\'d fished a paperback book out of his backpack and continued reading where he\'d left off.</p>\n<p>\"Were the questions too difficult?\" I asked</p>\n<p>\"Oh, you seriously wanted me to fill that in?\" he replied in a surprised tone.</p>\n<p>I told him not to worry about it but when the interview was over, I binned his application before he\'d even left the building. A dicky bird later told me that he found employment at a nearby language school and caused no end of problems.</p>\n<p>He was fired within a couple of months.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Drunk as a skunk</strong></p>\n<p>I taught a fair number of corporate classes over the years. Very often the classic twice a week gigs - Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5.30 to 7.30 when staff have had a long, stressful day at work and they\'re in no mood to study English. All they want do is go home. Even more so when they\'re a large group of Thai engineers - all at beginner level.</p>\n<p>This particular client was a large multinational company best known for its baby care products and they had a factory, production line and offices on an industrial estate in Samut Prakarn. The school sent four teachers out there to take care of four different groups. I drew the short straw. I got the engineers. And if you\'ve ever taught a group of Thai engineers, you\'ll know what I mean. Their lack of motivation and effort - at least when it comes to studying English - can be staggering.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But I decided to give the class my best shot. 1500 baht an hour plus a generous travel allowance wasn\'t to be sniffed at.</p>\n<p>On the first day of the course, I met with the young lady who was the company training manager and liked her immediately. Most HR and training managers (or whoever is responsible for organising English training) talk a good game but rarely deliver. \"My door is always open if you have a problem\" they\'ll say, \"I\'ll be making sure that the staff stay motivated and attend the lessons\"</p>\n<p>Then what usually happens is that you don\'t set eyes on the training manager for the entire duration of the ten-week course. Well, apart from a token \'is everything OK?\" when you bump into them at the elevator.</p>\n<p>This training manager was different. When she told me she\'d be following behind the staff with a big stick, she looked like she meant business.</p>\n<p>I asked her what she felt I should be doing in the classes for a group of 18 engineers aged between 25 and 55. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>\"Their English is terrible\" the training manager admitted, \"and they hardly need to use English in their daily jobs. But the company just wants to give them a chance to improve themselves\"</p>\n<p>Great! If there\'s one thing worse than a bunch of disinterested engineers, it\'s a bunch of engineers who don\'t need English in the first place. I was in a no-win situation.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And so the course started.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Although I believe English lessons should never turn into a cabaret, I knew from the off I was going to have to crank up the edutainment level to maximum. It was the only way that we\'d all get through this.</p>\n<p>The first few weeks went very well. I kept things moving at a fast pace and there was much laughter and fun. Truth be told, me and the engineers started to warm to each other. I began to like and respect them as people and I could sense they were fond of me also. Attendance never dipped below 100% (always a good sign)</p>\n<p>And then BANG! - along came a situation I\'d never had to deal with before. One of the engineers turned up to class after what had clearly been a lengthy liquid lunch. He wasn\'t what you would describe as \'a little tipsy\'. He was shit-faced. Out of his tree. He could barely sit up straight in his chair. And of course drunken people generally like to make noise.</p>\n<p>I decided to shoot a question at him early doors to test things out. He shot a hand up in the air and with eyes like piss-holes in the snow, mumbled the wrong answer and collapsed in a heap on his desk. The class roared with laughter.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the best tact was to ignore the drunk completely and let him sober up in a corner, but that didn\'t work either. Every time I directed a question at another member of class, Old Beer Legs would put his hand up and shout out the answer on their behalf. The lesson was becoming a farce. The more the class laughed, the more the drunken student basked in the limelight and played to the crowd. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>I had a dilemma on my hands and I needed to think on my feet....fast! I could muddle through to the end of the lesson and hope it somehow never happened again. That was certainly one option. But would I get into trouble for not reporting the incident?</p>\n<p>I could stop the lesson and go and seek out the training manager. I didn\'t fancy this much. Firstly, it made me look like a snitch. Secondly, I would probably get the engineer into terrible trouble, perhaps even lose his job. And I should mention at this point that the problem student, had up to that particular lesson, been one of my favourites.</p>\n<p>Or I could report it to the training manager the following day. I weighed things up and this seemed to me like the most professional way to handle things.</p>\n<p>After what seemed like the longest two-hour corporate training class in my life, I touched base with the language school owner and asked for his advice. He told me to make a decision and whatever it was, he would back me 100%. Fair enough I suppose.</p>\n<p>The following day, I called the company training manager. She listened to the story unfold and sounded extremely concerned. She asked for some time to evaluate the situation and she would get back to me.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>When she called me back a couple of hours later, she said she had spoken with the student concerned.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\"Mr Philip, I appreciate you bringing this matter to my attention. You did the right thing. The drunken employee has been given a verbal warning and no further action will be taken. But I would appreciate if you come and let me know right away if this happens again. This employee operates machinery. The company can\'t have guys like this turning up for work or English classes or whatever, in that condition\"</p>\n<p>I was full of admiration for how the training manager had handled things. &nbsp;And no one got fired.</p>\n<p>When the course resumed the following week, the problem student bore me no grudges and he became the star of the class. But this time for all the right reasons.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong><strong>Office tittle tattle</strong></strong></p>\n<p>One of the most disagreeable aspects of teaching at a private language school - certainly the ones I worked at - was the gossip. Not so much teachers\' room gossip but tittle tattle and private information that concerned the teaching staff but somehow found its way to the students. And more often than not, you could trace all the rumour-mongering and muck-spreading back to the school reception staff. They were poison!</p>\n<p>I very rarely \'got on well\' with school reception staff. That\'s not to say we disliked each other but I always strived to keep the farang teacher-Thai admin staff relationship on a strictly business level. I would greet them with a cheerful good morning and always be polite and civil if I needed to ask about a teacher\'s late pay or the state of a broken photocopier, but that\'s as far as it went.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Looking back, I probably came across as extremely aloof but to me it was all about being professional. I frowned upon teachers, particularly new teachers, who during a quiet period of the day, would pull up a chair at the reception and start gassing with the Thai office staff. I never saw anything good come out of those situations.</p>\n<p>Which teachers fancy which students? Which students fancy which teachers? Whose lessons are the most boring? And moving up a level - which teacher has money problems and is always asking for pay advances? Which teacher gets shit-faced on Friday nights and turns up hungover on a Saturday morning? Sometimes it felt like no topic was off limits. I found such gossip deplorable. Even now I get angry thinking about it.</p>\n<p>By and large, the office girls had a fairly mundane job. I suppose you can only explain the lesson price structure to potential students so many times before you become perhaps a little brain-dead, and start searching for alternative ways to bring a little colour and excitment to your life. Gossip was certainly one way to achieve it.</p>\n<p>At one language school I worked at, the Thai boss put the head receptionist (on account that she had been there the longest) in charge of teacher pay advances. The role didn\'t really involve much and the rules were very clear. Teachers were allowed an advance of up to 5,000 baht a month on their 30,000 baht salaries. You could take the 5,000 baht in one hit or spread it out over several dips into the petty cash. Those were the rules and teachers followed them implicitly. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>But for the head receptionist, the opportunity to go on one almighty power trip was hard to resist. Teachers were met with Gestapo tactics every time they asked for an advance.</p>\n<p>\"Why have you run out of money?! It\'s only the 20th of the month!\"</p>\n<p>\"This is the third month in a row. Why can\'t you take care of your money! Maybe you should spend less time in the pub!\"</p>\n<p>I stood and watched from a distance. But not for long. The teachers were part of my team and I was the team captain. I decided to point a finger in the girl\'s face and give her a dressing down she\'d never forget. She needed to be reminded that her job was simply to record the figures in a ledger and count out the banknotes. And yes I could\'ve handled it better.</p>\n<p>As often happens in the Thai workplace, raising your voice to a Thai member of staff results in them never talking to you again for as long as thou shalt live.</p>\n<p>It\'s unfortunate but that\'s the way it is. I always found it mission impossible to keep the foreign teaching staff happy and stay on the good side of Thai admin at the same time.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>When teachers say no to the dress code</strong></p>\n<p>At some language schools, teachers are required to wear a shirt and tie, at others it\'s maybe a plain polo shirt with the school logo on the breast pocket. Whatever it is, teachers are always made aware of the dress code early on. But not every teacher was willing to toe the dress code line. Gareth was a prime example.</p>\n<p>Gareth had been a desperation hire, but when you are recruiting for a language school paying 200 baht an hour, most hires are.</p>\n<p>There was nothing fundamentally wrong with him. He had rocked up to the interview in a nice navy blue whistle. He came across as extremely professional. And he had spent the previous five years making a mint on the floor of the Hong Kong stock exchange.</p>\n<p>The only downside was that he had no teaching experience. He had never been anywhere near a teacher training course either. But as I said, I was desperate and I just needed a warm body in the classroom. Gareth also told me that he was very new in the country and was looking to make some good contacts. In other words, his motives for teaching were all wrong.</p>\n<p>All I could offer him was a group of eight teenagers doing a basic writing class on a Sunday morning for three hours. There wouldn\'t be many contacts in that lot!</p>\n<p>Gareth told me that all he wanted was a chance. Against my better judgment, I decided to give it to him. I said he could start the following Sunday.</p>\n<p>\"By the way Phil\" Gareth said, \"How much is the hourly pay?\"</p>\n<p>200 baht an hour\" I replied.</p>\n<p>There was a long silence like you would get if a naked man had just run through the room.</p>\n<p>Gareth converted the pay rate into US dollars in his head. Always a mistake.</p>\n<p>\"Jesus. That\'s barely six bucks an hour. I would make more flipping burgers in McDonalds\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes\" I said \"Welcome to teaching in Thailand\"</p>\n<p>I\'d been doing the recruitment thing for several years and I\'d learned to give it to teachers straight, especially when they\'d done a woeful lack of research. \'Don\'t dance around your handbag\' was my motto.</p>\n<p>But despite the appalling hourly wage, Gareth still wanted to go through with it. He was desperate for those contacts.</p>\n<p>Sunday came around. It was also my day off. Gareth and his first day writing class were a million miles from my mind. The phone rang at 8.30. It was the school receptionist.</p>\n<p>\"Mr Philip, Mr Philip\" She was bordering on hysterical. \"Mr Gareth has turned up and he\'s not wearing a shirt and tie\"</p>\n<p>She then spent a painful five minutes trying to describe what he WAS wearing but I was none the wiser.</p>\n<p>At 8.45 I got a second phone call. This time from the school director. A fine fucking Sunday off this was turning out to be.</p>\n<p>\"Mr Gareth has turned up and he\'s not wearing a shirt and tie\"</p>\n<p>\"Yes I know. And there\'s absolutely nothing I can do. I\'ll speak to him on Monday. Just out of interest, what IS he wearing?</p>\n<p>Another five-minute explanation in poor English. And I still haven\'t got a clue.</p>\n<p>It bugged me all weekend. The first thing I did when I got to the school the following day was collar a teacher in the staffroom. \"Kathy, tell me, what the fuck was Gareth wearing at school yesterday?\"</p>\n<p>Kathy burst out laughing. \"Oh that\'s the new teacher right? Hahaha. He was wearing a cream-coloured, skin-tight turtle-neck sweater. Everyone was talking about it because from a distance, it looked like he was naked from the waist up. That\'s how tight it was\"</p>\n<p>I got on the phone to Gareth. Pleasantries quickly over with, I had the awkward job of reminding him what the school dress code was and the gear he\'d paraded around in yesterday was totally unsuitable\"</p>\n<p>\"No, no, no, no, no Phil\" he said. \"When I teach, I want to be comfortable. It was a very smart and expensive turtle neck and I feel comfortable wearing it\"</p>\n<p>\"Sorry Gareth, you have to wear a shirt and tie. Those are the school rules. I spelled them out to you at the interview\"</p>\n<p>\"Sorry Phil but I\'m not wearing a shirt and tie on a Sunday. End of story\" Gareth replied.</p>\n<p>\"Then we\'re going to have to call it a day\" I said.</p>\n<p>Gareth sighed, muttered the teeniest of \'very wells\' and put the phone down. And I began the search for another teacher. A situation I\'d been in so many times before.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>An afternoon beer</strong></p>\n<p>\"You know what. I just fancy a beer\" said Gary, one of the best and most experienced teachers at the language school.</p>\n<p>The other three teachers around the table just stared at him in silence. Did Gary just say \'beer\'? In the middle of a working day with lessons still to teach in the late afternoon and evening?</p>\n<p>If the language school had only two rules, then not dating students was one and not drinking alcohol during working hours was the other. But rules didn\'t stop Gary when he had a thirst on.</p>\n<p>He ordered a small Singha beer from the waiter but the restaurant only had large bottles. Large bottle it is then.</p>\n<p>The waiter plonked it down in the middle of our table. The bottle seemed to grow bigger before our eyes. At 12.45 in the afternoon, it looked evil and obscene. Gary reached for a glass, poured himself a large one and took a long and grateful sip.</p>\n<p>\"By God that tastes good\" he said.</p>\n<p>I could smell the beer fumes already. As academic director, I was wrestling with my conscience. I should have put a stop to it.</p>\n<p>But I felt safe in the knowledge that the restaurant we\'d chosen was well out of the way. Exit the language school, turn left down a small soi, right down an even smaller one, and walk to the end. The Thai school boss never came down this way. He\'d be busy in his office anyway.</p>\n<p>WRONG!</p>\n<p>It was a million to one shot but the boss had decided to take advantage of a quiet afternoon as well and go for a stroll. I was the first one to see him as he peered into the restaurant window. \"It\'s the boss!\" I cried out \"hide that beer for fuck\'s sake!\"</p>\n<p>I\'ll never forget the sight of four teachers in a blind panic as they tried to hide a large bottle of Singha. It bordered on classic Marx Brothers. After much dithering, I stuffed the bottle under the table where anyone could kick it over at any time.</p>\n<p>\"Hello lads. Great minds think alike eh?\" said the boss as he spotted us and came up to the table. \"Mind if I join you?\"</p>\n<p>He sat down and ordered himself a fried rice. For the next 30 minutes, the four teachers shot anxious glances at each other while making awkward conversation. And all the while in our minds - don\'t kick the bottle over. Please don\'t kick the bottle over.</p>\n<p>Eventually the boss paid the bill and left. It had been the longest 30 minutes of our lives.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>The crying game</strong></p>\n<p>Although teaching in Thailand can sound like one big adventure, I\'m convinced that some people are not really built to ever leave home. One such person was Nadine.</p>\n<p>Nadine had been taken on by the language centre boss to teach three hours in the morning, three days a week. A total of nine hours. That was the deal. Everything was spelt out to her and there were no hidden clauses. The school paid 200 baht an hour. But this was the early 90\'s. I think they pay 220 baht an hour now.</p>\n<p>On Nadine\'s first morning at school, having done her first three hour session, I walked into the teachers room and she was sitting in the corner in floods of tears. \"What\'s wrong Nadine? Wahat\'s wrong?\" I said.</p>\n<p>\"Oh it\'s probably just me. I don\'t think the lessons went well at all\"</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t worry\" I said \"It\'s only your first day. Many new teachers struggle at the beginning.</p>\n<p>Day two. Teachers room. More tears.</p>\n<p>\"What\'s wrong Nadine? What\'s wrong?\"</p>\n<p>\"Oh it\'s probably just me\" she said (are you beginning to see a catchphrase develop?) \"I\'m not sure how I\'m going to pay the rent this month.</p>\n<p>Day three. You guessed it.</p>\n<p>\"What is it this time Nadine?\" - patience and sympathy as you may guess were beginning to wear thin. We had a school to run. There was no room for teary passengers</p>\n<p>\"Oh it\'s probably just me but it\'s getting close to Christmas and I\'m starting to miss my family\"</p>\n<p>Fast forward a couple of weeks and I caught wind that the male teachers in the staff room had starting taking bets among each other as what time of the day Nadine would start crying. As academic director, I couldn\'t have that. Something had to be done.</p>\n<p>I called Nadine into my office. \"Nadine, I want to help you in any way I can. Is there anything the school can do to help you settle in? Perhaps you want more hours so you can make a bit more money?</p>\n<p>Nadine looked at me. And immediately burst into tears.</p>\n<p>By the end of the week she was gone.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>The immaculate Peter</strong></p>\n<p>Peter was one of the most professional teachers I had ever worked with. He was always on time for his classes at the language centre regardless of whether it was an 8.30 \'early bird\' session with a Japanese businessman or the 7.45 to 9.15pm \'graveyard shift\' with a small group of Thai accountants who had all recently undergone personality transplants.</p>\n<p>When it came to appearance and dress sense, Peter had no equals. I went round to his apartment once. He opened the wardrobe doors and said \"look at that!\" - half a dozen freshly ironed business shirts hung neatly on wooden hangers with matching tie combinations. All ready for the teaching week ahead.</p>\n<p>The language centre dabbled in a bit of corporate training at the time and we decided Peter was the ideal man to send to a new client, a multinational electronics company on Soi Asoke. He returned from the first lesson and said that everything went well. The group really loved him!</p>\n<p>Half an hour later, we got a call from the Thai training manager at the company. The gist of the phone call was that the company wanted someone younger. \"We just find younger teachers have a bit more energy and work out better for us\" she said. \"Peter was a very good teacher and we all enjoyed the class but could we swap him for a younger model?\"</p>\n<p>Peter was 34.</p>\n<p>He never walked into a classroom or training room in Thailand again.</p>\n<p>We did swap the teacher. We sent along 23-year old Lucifer with his tousled mane of jet black hair ( a bit like Victor Mature in \'Samson and Delilah\'), his sparkling blue eyes, his muscular physique and his gypsy good looks.</p>\n<p>And he was shit.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/clowntears.jpg','2017-05-25 03:50:09',1,'2017-05-25 03:50:09','2017-05-25 18:06:10'),(30537,20,'Going with the flow','going-with-the-flow','Getting a teaching job in rural Thailand','I\'d always had a dream to teach in Thailand. I\'m a fully qualified teacher with nearly twenty years teaching experience. So why not? Life\'s too short right?','<p>Like many of you reading this site, I\'ve been an avid follower of ajarn.com for quite some time. It\'s been an invaluable resource, assisting in my transition to Thailand.</p>\n<p>I\'d been teaching within FE and HE in the UK for many years and I\'d always held the dream of teaching abroad.</p>\n<h3>What a place!</h3>\n<p>Back in 2007 I made my first trip to Thailand with my Thai fianc&eacute;. I fell in love with the place and we got married. At that time my wife was making preparations on laying foundations for building our home in N.E Thailand. Teaching back in England was becoming more of a challenge, and after one stressful Ofsted inspection too many, I considered it time to move on and make the leap.</p>\n<p>I\'m a fully qualified teacher with nearly twenty years teaching experience. So why not, life\'s too short.</p>\n<p>By that time Mrs Q had moved back to Thailand to oversee construction of our home. My brother in law is in the building trade and he commenced building us a comfy bungalow on my wife\'s land.</p>\n<h3>Looking for work</h3>\n<p>I\'d been scouring the internet for teaching posts, reading up on Thai culture and a few great help books. I arrived in Thailand on a tourist exemption visa and took the month off sourcing work. I\'d met with an English manager at a local school who\'d offered some sage advice on his fifteen years in Thailand.</p>\n<p>We had a long talk, probably been a while since he\'d spoken with an English native. I also visited a couple more local schools with my resume at hand to find potential teaching posts. There weren\'t many opportunities in August, yet it wasn\'t long before the job offers came in from a few schools, agencies and a local university.</p>\n<p>Within FE and HE I\'d become accustomed to lecturing students from sixteen years old plus, so Mattayom level or university was more suited to my skill set. The university offer was appealing, but it took them so long to arrange a job interview I grew impatient. Not a good sign, on their behalf with the administration.</p>\n<h3>Lucking out</h3>\n<p>I then met up with a small, local teaching agency that was growing its business, and I got on really well with the CEO. After an informal interview and checking my qualifications, I was offered a job there and then. I was keen to visit the government school I was to teach at, which was located in a rural area. With approximately five hundred students, at Mattayom levels one to six, I got a good &lsquo;vibe\' from the lovely location.</p>\n<p>Meeting the director and students was a plus too and it all seemed rather laid-back. Something I\'ve had to get used to, from the manic pace to teaching in England.</p>\n<p>Despite being seventy kilometres from home I was more than happy to make the commute. I\'d previously worked at a grade one college in London, which was a fair commute. Believe me the salary, i.e. &lsquo;danger money\' was good, but not worth it.</p>\n<h3>Crazy roads</h3>\n<p>So I needed a car. That proved more complicated than expected. But the car salesman was happy to make concessions when he heard I was a teacher. One thing I begun to learn here, the amount of respect teachers lauded upon from the Thais. More than I received in the UK.</p>\n<p>So after two months arriving in Thailand I was to start teaching. My only regret is that I hadn\'t moved to Thailand sooner.</p>\n<p>The Thai visa and work permit have been a bit of a kerfuffle sorting out. That\'s another story altogether, and now I\'m a popular visitor at immigration. We always end up having a photo opportunity of sorts. Imagine my surprise when everyone wanted a picture with the &lsquo;farang\' despite the fact I\'d overstayed my visa. Seriously though, get on well with your local immigration and visas become far easier.</p>\n<p>But overall, the most stressful part of my job is the drive to work. Yes, driving in Thailand is an eye opener, to say the least. Mirror, signal, manoeuvre? Manoeuvre, what\'s that indicator for, oh look a nice mirror to do my make-up/hair etc. I\'m still amazed at how many young kids I\'ve seen zipping about on mopeds, covering their faces from the dust kicked up by  the cattle truck they\'re tail gating.</p>\n<h3>The right decision</h3>\n<p>Anyways, my teaching contract will be up for renewal soon and I hope I can continue to teach at the same school for next semester. It\'s been a great adventure whilst teaching here.</p>\n<p>Even &lsquo;working\' on Christmas day was fun, as I played the role of Santa Claus in the students Christmas pantomime.</p>\n<p>I would recommend anyone wishing to teach in Thailand, to seriously give it consideration. I\'m here for the duration and yes, it has its downsides like anywhere else, but I still have to pinch myself to realise that I\'m living my dream, working and living in Thailand. Just be prepared to take each day as it comes, and go with the flow.</p>\n<p><strong>Nigel Quinn</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/teaching-in-the-sticks/\">Teaching in the sticks - 31 cool and awesome things about living and teaching in rural Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/bangkok-or-up-country-which-is-best/\">Bangkok or up-country?

But more pitfalls await. Here is a run-through of things you should avoid','<p><strong>1 Relying on the internet</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand is not online yet. Yes they have Facebook, YouTube, Gmail, online games and Google Maps. For 99% of the population, that is pretty much it. Online shopping is limited, Wikipedia and finding information is non existent, responses from online contact screens is nil.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To find out information, you have to open your eyes, ears and mouth. Condos are advertised in the condo building. Go there, ask. Houses are advertised on lamp-posts on that road, not on Craigslist.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Everything is local. Embrace it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2Not attending \"pointless school events\"</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one loves a show like the Thais.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Assemblies, Fathers Day, Christmas Show, Sport Day, the list goes on, and on. And because they love it, they notice when you aren\'t there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes it\'s boring, yes it\'s pointless, but if you don\'t use these events as an excuse to slink off, the Thai staff will like you even more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can sit and play on your phone if you want, as long as you are there. Get some food and drink in advance, make yourself comfortable, and make sure the head teacher sees you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3Dating a Thai co-teacher</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are beautiful Thai (and other nationality) teachers at every school. You can chat, empathise and pull favors. Why not go out with this lovely educated woman? - and if you\'re sure she is the one, then yes go for it. You\'ll have a job for life and a career in management waiting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are looking for fun however, this is a terrible, terrible idea.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If (or when) you finish with her, she will lose face. Firstly she will try to shame you into going back out with her. Then she will get mad. Then she will cry. Then her friends will shun you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the end of the year, if she has any clout, your contract won\'t be renewed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4Not having health insurance</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every week it seems my Facebook page is taken over by some foreigner begging for money to pay medical bills because they don\'t have insurance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes they are unlucky, but if you live here then every day your chance of an accident increases. Sooner or later you are going to have one, and your schools insurance that pays the first 10,000 baht isn\'t going to cover the ambulance there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5Not being flexible enough</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re teaching private lessons to Thais, lessons are going to be cancelled - normally on the day. If these are add-on classes, you will have to be flexible to keep the business.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes you will lose the odd thousand baht here and there, but on the plus side, you can cancel with the same notice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Out on the beer? your 9am class not looking too enticing? A simple LINE message removes that problem quickly and simply and the pupil won\'t mind either.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can\'t beat them, join them</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6Wearing a t shirt and flip flops to the cinema</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wear shoes with socks and take a jumper! The first ten minutes will be fine if you don\'t dress \'warmly\' but after a couple of hours, you\'ll need thawing out</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7Not accepting food from Thai colleagues</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thais love food, and love being generous. If they offer you food, at the very least, try it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They aren\'t going to offer you something they think you will hate. If they do, they will be laughing and it will be obvious.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By turning down the food, you are turning down them, and they are losing face. Eat it!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>8Not knowing where all the exits are</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every school has more than one exit. One is manned by the gestapo security. The others, more than likely, are not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes they are out of the way, but they are your opening to the outside world of opportunity and fun.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>9Not going on staff trips / events at least once</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai schools have staff events. These are attended by all Thai staff, no questions asked. It\'s just how it is. Normally the events are fun, if childish events. However you define them and they are better than work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The trip will be long and involve a lot of travel for not much. But you\'re part of a team and mixing with people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You will see new places, meet new people, and maybe break the world record for having your photo taken. Most of all, they will like that you\'re taking part. Do it once at least.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>10Not making friends outside of school</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>At home, your friends come from a variety of places. In Thailand, especially in the sticks, you\'re a bit stuck. However, nothing should stop you from trying. Play sports, meet English speakers and talk to people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>11Shopping exclusively at the supermarket and avoiding the local market</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unlike in your home country, the Thai supermarket isn\'t the cheapest place to shop. The market is, and it has fresher produce and friendlier people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Go there, and if you can\'t speak Thai, point at things you want and make numbers with your fingers. You will be amazed what\'s on offer and how little it costs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>12Not having a Thai friend you can trust (well semi-trust)</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a problem that needs Thai language skills, what do you do? If it\'s a problem with the school, the Thai teachers aren\'t going to help you. By the time you need help, it\'s too late.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>13Dating the wrong sort of girl</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>An unpopular \"what to avoid\" with some, but this isn\'t a popularity contest. Thais judge you on your girlfriend like you wouldn\'t believe, and if she is the \"wrong type\" of girl (work it out for yourself) then you will be judged accordingly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No one is saying she isn\'t a lovely girl, but if you want to stay here, it\'s worth thinking about.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>14Defining yourself by your job</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>When Thais answer a question about their job, they will tell you the industry they work in, the geographic place, or the company name.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Their job title is secondary because Thais do not define themselves by their job. Yes they work, but it isn\'t everything about them. There is much more to life for Thais than work!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So when someone asks about you, don\'t answer \"I\'m a teacher\". Talk about yourself and what you do outside work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Steve Micklewhite</strong></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-mistakes/\">Teacher mistakes -&nbsp;What are some of the most common mistakes that new arrivals make when they come to teach in Thailand?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/nightmares.jpg','2018-07-17 02:49:00',1,'2018-02-27 02:49:31','2018-08-27 15:31:19'),(30541,90,'Men and women\'s opportunities in Thailand','men-and-womens-opportunities-in-thailand','Are things equal for men and women in the Thailand TEFL profession?','Men and women often have contrasting experiences in the workplace mainly in terms of salary and promotion opportunities.

Female teachers I spoke to said they had good experiences in the interviews they had had.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Promotion opportunities</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I would say the overall opportunity for promotion within a teaching organization is quite limited due to the procedure of schools, especially government schools.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many language schools and private schools have some form of Western ownership so the promotion path is clearly outlined and on paper everyone should have a chance at promotion.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my company (private language school) female teachers have been promoted to senior managements levels. However, I would say the majority of managers are male. This could be due to there being more male teachers in Thailand than female teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Salary</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course different jobs have different salaries and some don\'t specify the exact salary until the position is offered but I feel there is a standard wage paid to all teachers male and female. Again the salary paid to teachers at my previous schools has always been the same regardless of gender.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many of the kindergarten teaching jobs offered specifically to women pay over 50,000 Baht a month and one of my fellow CELTA trainees walked into a 65,000 Baht kindergarten job without any previous experience of teaching.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Does Gender Affect Your Job Prospects in Thailand?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall I would say that gender does not affect your job prospects and salary in Thailand. There are certain jobs targeted at women but overall there are plenty of options out there for everyone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The salary between men and women seems to be equal in job adverts and when being offered for a job in an interview.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are other factors which do affect the job chances and salaries for us to consider.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Other Factors</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Age - It is true that many jobs put an age limit in their job adverts and even if they don\'t they will prefer a younger candidate.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my opinion this is due to the belief that students want younger teachers in the classroom. Whilst this may be true for some I know others who prefer experience, especially older students. There is no law against age discrimination when advertising for a job so it is likely this process will continue in the future. There are opportunities for everyone though and even in Bangkok I know and have seen many people over 50 working as a teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nationality - There is of course a lot of difference between the opportunities and salaries offered to native and non-native teachers. Native speakers tend to get around double the salary of a non-native speaker. Certain jobs ask only for native speakers or only those from specific countries. If you want to apply for an American International School then maybe it is fair to have only American teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Location - Where the job is located can affect your pay. Bangkok tends to have the highest wages whereas living in a rural area you can expect a lower wage. You should consider the cost of living as maybe a lower wage in a rural area will last longer than a higher wage in Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/richard-mccully/pay-rises-and-promotions\">Pay rises and promotions - How to aim higher and enjoy a better quality of life as a teacher</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/how-far-does-a-30k-salary-go-in-bangkok\">How far does a 30K salary go in Bangkok? - Will you be living well - or simply surviving?</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living\">The cost of living guide - How much do foreign teachers in Thailand earn and what do they spend their money on?</a> &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

You may have had a career in the armed forces or banking or engineering. You may be getting over a messy divorce. You may simply just be tired of where you are from.</p>\n<p>Maybe you\'ve been to Thailand before. Maybe even a few times... and you\'ve fallen for the place. Or you\'ve never been here but you\'ve read enough to know that Japan is too expensive and Burma is still getting to grips with the concept of fire.</p>\n<p>And so you\'re coming to Thailand. You\'ve got money or a pension. You\'ve got a brain and street smarts and you\'ve got half a lifetime of work experience in the bank, too. Add to that, you\'re a native English speaker and you look great for your age...</p>\n<p><strong>but you\'ve never been a teacher.</strong></p>\n<p>Are you going to live in Bangkok? Probably not. You\'ll more than likely be in another city or somewhere near the coast. Bangkok has endless opportunities but it\'s for young people, not us.</p>\n<p>Maybe you\'ve married a Thai and have a family here. If so, you won\'t have much choice about where you live.</p>\n<p>The higher quality \'international\' schools pay well, but they really aren\'t for the likes of semi-retired expats living in the provinces. Let\'s face it, you came to Thailand to live here, not to be an English teacher. The teaching aspect is just to help you make money to get by or get you out of the house because you hate gardening.</p>\n<p>Even so, you want to take the job seriously and do the best you can, right?</p>\n<h3>Skills for the job</h3>\n<p>There are two jobs that are impossible to do well, if you don\'t enjoy them... one is waiting tables and the other is teaching. When you come to Thailand you\'ll want to enjoy your work and do a good job. Hopefully, you\'ll find an appreciative employer and be happy to devote a few years to them. (Yes, they are out there and they are looking for you.)</p>\n<p>There are a number of options open to you when you first start teaching English in Thailand:</p>\n<p>You can just start teaching and eventually work out the kinks over time.<br />(That\'s what I did and I wouldn\'t recommend it.)</p>\n<p>You can spend some money and a few weeks taking a TEFL test.<br />(That\'s what I didn\'t do... and I wouldn\'t recommend it.)</p>\n<p>You can do some homework on your own and figure out the practical side of things when you start working.<br />(Possibly, but really, it\'s still a crap plan.)</p>\n<p>You can do an \'apprenticeship\' and get paid for it.<br />(This is what I should have done.)</p>\n<h3>The apprentice... \"I\'m in!</h3>\n<p>So here\'s my advice and this is what I should have done when I first came to Thailand 15 years ago:</p>\n<p>Move to Bangkok for three months, maybe longer. (Don\'t fret, it\'s only temporary!)<br />Go to one of the large malls and apply for work in any of the language centers on the top floor.<br />Inlingua is the best one so go there first, but ECC or TLC and any of the others are just fine.</p>\n<p>So, why would you do this? Well, lots of reasons and all of them good.</p>\n<p>1 - It\'s easy to get hired. <br />2 - They pay real money. (Usually about 400 baht an hour plus bonuses.)<br />3 - You control your hours. (Work a full weekend and your rents covered for the month!)<br />4 - They have free coffee and cakes.(Well, Inlingua did when I was there.)<br />5 - You\'ll be teaching a wide range of classes from kids to adults.<br />6 - These &lsquo;schools\' are very well resourced. (Take a hard drive and rip off everything they have!)<br />7 - You can observe other teachers working (if you ask nicely.)<br />8 - The work is very easy. (If you can read from a book you can do this.)</p>\n<p>You can watch other teachers do their thing and pick up some good ideas.<br />(You can also find out what NOT to do by watching other teachers.)<br />You can quickly get used to the way Thai people do things during this period of assimilation.<br />You\'ll also meet the oddest group of colleagues you\'ve ever worked with in your life.</p>\n<h3>Final thoughts</h3>\n<p>The idea of this plan is to make all the cockups at the language schools before you migrate towards your permanent address and employment. And to cock things up in an anonymous environment and get paid for the privilege!</p>\n<p>You\'ll also quickly find out which types of people you are happier working with. If maybe you\'re a natural born primary school teacher or maybe a high flying corporate trainer.</p>\n<p>Seriously, the time spent at these places is better than any other kind of training you\'ll ever get. When you leave, you\'ll be brimming with confidence. You\'ll also have a zillion work sheets and course books on your laptop. In addition, you\'ll be able to confidently face the trials headed your way when you start work at a &lsquo;proper job\' later.</p>\n<p>Of course, how you progress after that is up to you. But really, the idea of this plan is to make you capable and confident enough to enter the workforce and enjoy teaching English.</p>\n<p>I did it the hard way - by just blundering through classes with no real regard for the mess I was making. I started teaching with no training and no experience and with no awareness of just how dangerous I was.</p>\n<p>But whatever path you take and however you choose to find your way into the world of teaching English in Thailand, remember to enjoy it. You won\'t want to be a part of the horrible pool of depressed expats who work at terrible jobs because they have to. Then spend their free periods at school complaining about it.</p>\n<p>For smart, educated, intelligent, older expats, who are willing to make a bit of an effort, there are endless opportunities for work in all fields of education almost everywhere in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/young-teachers-vs-old-teachers/\">Young teachers vs old teachers? - Which age group do Thai employers really prefer?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/tossed-on-the-tefl-scrapheap/\">Tossed on the TEFL scrapheap - Is teaching in Thailand a young man\'s game?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/oldies........but-goldies/\">Oldies........but goldies? - Are those teachers over 45 suddenly too long in the tooth?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dave1.jpg','2016-01-20 17:50:14',1,'2016-01-20 17:50:14','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30547,85,'Becoming a TEFL \'lifer\'','becoming-a-tefl-lifer','Into my third year as a teacher in Myanmar','What happens in year two and three of an ESL journey is up to you, but it\'s probably going to include getting more serious about what you do.','<p>Two years ago, I posted my first blog here on Ajarn.com, reflecting on the experiences I\'d had after my first ten months being a teacher in Thailand.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t long after that that I relocated to Yangon, Myanmar. It wasn\'t so much that I didn\'t like Thailand, instead, the opportunity in the neighboring country was too good to pass up.</p>\n<p>Now, not only have I been in this new country for nearly two years, I\'ve also had two more years as an ESL teacher in SE Asia.</p>\n<p>A lot of teachers come to the region just for the experience, after a year, maybe they\'ve had enough and are ready to go home. Maybe they\'re not sure. Maybe this tale of what it\'s like after that first year will be of benefit to those on the fence about continuing here.</p>\n<p>It\'s not that hard to spend a year doing anything; multiple years feels like a commitment.</p>\n<h3>On the profession of being an ESL teacher:</h3>\n<p>Before my initial job in Thailand, I took one of those 3-week, 120 hour TEFL-on-the-beach courses which also came with an agency commitment to get me a job. Sure, I learned a lot. I got a job afterwards that paid me 35K Baht a month; okay for a teacher in Bangkok with no experience at all.</p>\n<p>I learned quite a bit in that course, as well as during my year teaching Matayom in Khlong Thoey.</p>\n<p>When I came to Myanmar, I got exposed to colleagues who knew and did things that I didn\'t know how to do. The difference between them and I was that they\'d all done their CELTA whereas I just had my TEFL.</p>\n<p>When the opportunity arose for me to get that CELTA subsidized by my employer, I jumped at it. If I was going to be doing this long term, I wanted to learn as much as I could about how to do it well. The CELTA taught me that. If you want to continue past your first year, get your CELTA.</p>\n<p>In these last two years, I\'ve also grown into doing things like curriculum development, attending ESL symposiums and content creation. If you go forward in teaching past that first year, you might find yourself continuing to learn, becoming more involved in the profession and starting to become somewhat of an expert at what you do. That last thing feels kinda cool.</p>\n<h3>On adapting to a new language:</h3>\n<p>One of the regrets I had leaving Thailand after that first year was that I really hadn\'t learned much of the language.  I knew maybe 50 words of Thai, which was far less than I expected of myself going into it.</p>\n<p>I swore the same thing wouldn\'t happen in Myanmar. Sure enough, after my first year here, my ability to speak Myanmar was better than my Thai at the same point a year before, but still not where I\'d hoped it would be.</p>\n<p>I\'d studied. Not enough studying, apparently, as I still didn\'t understand much, if any, of what the locals were saying to me on a daily basis.</p>\n<p>After two years in the country, I\'m not that much better, but at least my ear has changed. Now, I can at least hear the words. I can hear the structure of the sentences I\'m hearing, even if I still don\'t understand 90% of the words.</p>\n<p>Many people come to a country and expect to learn the language through osmosis, through constant exposure to it and necessity. It does happen, but it takes a lot longer than you might think.</p>\n<h3>On confidence and comfort:</h3>\n<p>I\'ve lived in Indonesia, Thailand and now Myanmar, but never for more than a couple of years.</p>\n<p>In each country, I\'ve run into expats who\'ve to varying degrees \'gone native\'. They\'d been in country for 20, 25 or 30 years. They had deep roots and understood the culture on a visceral level, nth degrees more than anyone could gain after just a year.</p>\n<p>In years two and three, that deep understanding begins to take root. The knowledge and familiarity that comes natural to the \'lifer\' has its roots in the 2nd and 3rd year.</p>\n<p>That said, this familiarity gives you confidence which comes in handy in day to day life.</p>\n<p>For example, most taxi drivers here in Yangon saw me initially as an easy mark for an inflated fare. But when I come at them in very fast Myanmar language using the vernacular of taxi speak, which I can use because I\'m confident in my skills in that mode of speech, they quickly lose the goal of gouging.</p>\n<p>When it comes to things like vacation plans, I\'ve recently done stuff that I would have been too scared to do in the first year. Over the holidays, I drove 2000+ km on a little Chinese 125cc motorbike all over Myanmar. I never would have had the courage to do that in my first year.</p>\n<p>You might enjoy watching the videos I made from the journey. Click my (non-monetized) YouTube link at the bottom of the page and look for the vids from December and January of 2015-16.</p>\n<p>In conclusion, what happens in year two and three of an ESL journey is up to you, but it\'s probably going to include getting more serious about what you do.</p>\n<p>Your acculturation to your new country will continue. Your ear will hear the native language better. Perhaps, though, the most important development will be that once you\'ve been here multiple years, you may become a lifer and never go home again.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I also have a YouTube page with lots&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">more stuff about the teaching lifestyle in Myanmar</a></p>','','2016-01-24 20:59:25',1,'2016-01-24 20:59:25','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30562,71,'Teaching to the test: an editorial','teaching-to-the-test-an-editorial','What do these standardized tests actually prove?','Is there a better way to determine what a student knows, or how he/she could perform in whatever environment for which the score is required?','<p>Education these days seems to be all about testing. In the US, the No Child Left Behind Act basically redesigned the entire education system around test results, using funding as leverage to force students in line with federally mandated standards; many students and teachers feel that the tests don\'t necessarily reflect what is actually being learned.</p>\n<p>In Asia, however, my experience seems to show the opposite: your test score IS your academic performance.</p>\n<h3>Controversial tests</h3>\n<p>In Thai government (and other) schools, it\'s all about the O-NET, a controversial standardized test given in grades 9 and 12 (Mathayom 3 and 6). To me, those are just another insert-national-standardized-test-here, and to be fair, no one has come up with any better alternative of figuring out a general idea of how students are doing in comparison to one another and \"national standards,\" if such things exist in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The far more psychologically damaging tests are, in my view, those imposed on students wanting to move beyond the Thai curriculum (aka, studying abroad).</p>\n<p>Such exams include the TOEFL and IELTS (tests accepted for non-native speakers of English at universities in North America and Europe/Australia respectively), the TOEIC (generally used as an English level guideline for hiring), and the good &lsquo;ole fashioned college entrance SAT and similar graduate degree tests (GRE, GMAT, et cetera).</p>\n<p>Growing up in the US, the only one I really had to worry about was the SAT, but even then I never bothered studying for it.</p>\n<h3>\'Pressure\'</h3>\n<p>Thai students, though, feel a huge pressure to perform well on these tests if they want to attend universities abroad, or even international programs at domestic universities.</p>\n<p>Those of you TEFL\'ers that have been around for longer than about a week will know all about the huge teaching industry that surrounds students needing a certain score on the tests; sure, it\'s a great money-maker, and it\'s great for guys like me that want a decent paying class with among the most motivated students in Thailand... but what are these students really taking away from these classes?</p>\n<p>I\'ve been teaching TOEFL/IELTS courses (especially the speaking sections) for a few years now, and find myself increasingly warning students that, just because you can\'t get a perfect score on such-and-such test, it doesn\'t mean you can\'t consider yourself fluent in English (and vice-versa).</p>\n<h3>Test flaws</h3>\n<p>The tests certainly serve a purpose, but real-life they are not; in the case of one of the TOEFL speaking sections, for example, students have 60 seconds to tie-together a listening and reading passage to answer a prompt, and organization and time management are paramount to get a good score, alongside being able to not sound like you\'re so nervous speaking to a computer that you\'re going to pass out.</p>\n<p>That\'d be hard for ME to do, and I\'m an English major with a master\'s degree!</p>\n<p>Sure, some students are already great in whatever subject area the test covers (here, generally English is the key), and have no problem adapting to the needs of the test. I really feel for the students, though, that completely panic during these high-stakes tests after having studied for them for [often times] months.</p>\n<h3>Tests ain\'t cheap</h3>\n<p>The TOEFL is something like 8,000 THB a pop at the moment, and that\'s not including the huge course fees students have often paid to cram schools and the like to try to learn how to get the needed score. Students that just can\'t get over the jitters taking any type of test, even if they\'re great in normal circumstances, are inevitably made to feel let down and [more importantly in Asia] \"lose face.\"</p>\n<p>I have a student in my AP English Language/Composition course that is trying to go to a school in Singapore. She is absolutely mortified at making anything below a perfect score on the once-a-year exam, as she\'s convinced it will cause her to not get in to the law program she wants to do. As unfortunate as it is, she\'s probably right; in Asia, it\'s all about the numbers, and because there are many students able to train themselves to these pass-it-and-you\'re-done tests, I\'m sure it\'s possible.</p>\n<p>However, especially in tests that evaluate things like speaking and writing, even with rubrics it\'s basically up to whomever is assigned to score you, and the result (in my experience) is often a relatively arbitrary score.</p>\n<h3>\'Hilarious\'</h3>\n<p>Notwithstanding a listener/reader with a raging hangover evaluating someone\'s test (and let\'s be honest here, it happens), and notwithstanding the fact that these tests are designed for takers to NOT get a high score (after all, if you \"pass,\" they get no more of your money)... has anyone actually read those rubrics used to score the TOEFL/IELTS/AP/whatever? They\'re hilarious.</p>\n<p>Here\'s a quote from the AP essay rubric from my class for the highest score: essays \"are especially sophisticated in their explanation and argument or demonstrate particularly impressive control of language.\"</p>\n<p>Here\'s another quote, this one from the TOEFL speaking rubric for a perfect score: speech is \"highly intelligible and exhibits sustained, coherent discourse.\" What the hell is that supposed to mean?</p>\n<h3>Hoping for the best</h3>\n<p>So how can you get a perfect score? Here\'s what I tell my students: no matter the test, be as confident as you can, and hope for the best. This isn\'t something an Asian student wants to hear, though; there\'s a formula to everything, and surely you, teacher, can tell me what it is!</p>\n<p>As educators, I think we can all agree that these high-stakes tests are, at best, measuring tools to compare students against an established standard or goal. Is there a better way to determine what a student knows, or how he/she could perform in whatever environment for which the score is required? We can all likely agree this is true.</p>\n<p>Problem is... I ain\'t got no idea.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

A well organized and well resourced expat can enjoy a rebirth in the ‘Land of Smiles.','<p><strong>So, you\'re here in Thailand - now what?</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m using the word acculturalization because Joko used it in one of his articles and I want to appear clever like wot he is. Regardless, it\'s a good one to begin this article.</p>\n<p>Over time, if you live here in Thailand for long enough, you\'ll eventually adopt some of the beliefs and many of the behaviors of the Thais that you meet, live and work with. You\'ll have to... because if you don\'t you\'ll go bonkers! That\'s acculturalization.</p>\n<p>The speed at which you embrace these changes will vary enormously from man to man, but like the insanely noisy truck with the thrash metal speakers welded on to it, crawling slowly past my house on a Sunday morning, while I\'m sleeping... (Deep breath, Mark!) ...it\'s going to happen eventually.</p>\n<p>However, unlike most migrants around the world, our &lsquo;acculturalization\' is entirely voluntary. We can pick and choose which bits of Thai life we take on and ignore those nasty bits that we don\'t like.</p>\n<p><strong>Young people are crap!</strong></p>\n<p>A sanctimonious word about young people...</p>\n<p>Young people who come to Thailand, come with unrealistic expectations and invariably fail to do what it takes to stay here. They are badly organized and don\'t think ahead.</p>\n<p>They miss their chums and families. They get sick from the food and can\'t afford the hospital bills. They fall off their motorcycles a lot and they are shit with their money. They fall in love at the drop of a hat and get into all sorts of other kinds of trouble.</p>\n<p>They don\'t see teaching English as much more than a holiday job or as just a means to pay for their excesses. They also have long hair and wear flared trousers... I mean, come on.</p>\n<p>So, we\'re all agreed... young people are just crap, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Old people are crap, too!</strong></p>\n<p>But even us older chaps (are there any women reading this?) can make mistakes. I\'ve seen too many older expats ruined by the drink. I\'ve seen them assume the role of victim because of their own folly. Thais become the enemy and they recede into envy and bitterness.</p>\n<p>In Thailand there is an army of dissolute, older men fighting off ill health and poverty. They drift from job to job, giving the Western world a bad name by getting drunk at the wrong times and stinking the place up with cigarettes, body odor and bad manners.</p>\n<p><strong>Success, thy name is caution!</strong></p>\n<p>But for most of us, age comes with its own set of skills which prepare us for the embrace of living in Thailand. The biggest and most valuable of these assets is caution. (Young people don\'t have a word for this.)</p>\n<p>This abundance of caution enables us to make better decisions. We aren\'t quite so eager to jump all over that 30,000 baht a month job without reading the fine print first... or sign that apartment lease without checking to make sure it has running water after eight o\'clock... or accidently jumping in the sack with someone who may have a sack of &lsquo;her\' own!</p>\n<p>I\'ve heard it said from employers that older people are set in their ways and find it difficult to adapt to new ways of living and teaching. Is this really true? Do people uproot from a comfortable life in the West and set up their tents in Thailand, yet not have the ambition and ability to learn some new tricks?</p>\n<p>I don\'t think so and I think that employers are missing out when they make these assumptions.</p>\n<p>And you can prove them wrong by applying in person for the jobs that clearly state that &lsquo;only people under 30 need apply.\' I\'ve done it myself and it\'s quite a surprise (at first) how these little pre-determiners are bunged out the window.</p>\n<p><strong>No more, er... paperwork!</strong></p>\n<p>On arrival, the first lifestyle changes you make are practical ones. They come quickly out of necessity but are soon embraced with alacrity. Eating with a spoon and fork is the first thing. Making a mental note of where the &lsquo;sit down\' loos are, is a close second!</p>\n<p>You\'ll get used to the noise in the shopping malls... the bizarre order that your food is served in... people stalking you in the electronics section of Tesco\'s... drinking beer with ice and lime... and squirting water up your bum!</p>\n<p>Yes, from now on, you\'ll be using toilet paper to wipe stuff off your face not your arse!</p>\n<p><strong>You are changing your mind... don\'t fight it!</strong></p>\n<p>But, just as these physical habits take a permanent and instinctive hold of your practical wellbeing, there now comes the matter of the more mental assimilations. It may take a while - everyone is different - but these changes will happen.</p>\n<p>Eventually, that family of ten precariously balanced on a tiny moped don\'t deserve to die horribly. The long, slow lines at the Macro checkout are an opportunity to check your email. Sometimes it\'s OK to get your soup at the end of the meal... just as you\'re about to leave.</p>\n<p>Those Thai holidays aren\'t just cute anymore - they\'re important. Your co-workers are somehow a part of your &lsquo;family\' and you care about what they do and what they think. Your home country is drifting further and further into the back of your mind and Thailand is becoming your home.</p>\n<p><strong>Woah, there, Mark. Let\'s not get carried away!</strong></p>\n<p>Of course, you aren\'t Thai and you won\'t ever be. There are some things that are just too awful to ever consider taking a liking to. Those pink plastic things they call &lsquo;hot dogs\' will never be welcome on your plate. Washing your clothes by hand is simply too much manual labor to be a normal thing. Thai TV is just horrible horrible horrible. Soi dogs are dangerous, dirty and annoying and need a good kick every time you walk past one. Electrocution by night market is also something you won\'t adapt to, easily.</p>\n<p><strong>You\'ll have your own list of intolerables.</strong></p>\n<p>You\'re welcome... to stay!</p>\n<p>For the older expat, life in Thailand can be magnificent. A well organized and well resourced expat can enjoy a rebirth in the &lsquo;Land of Smiles.\' All the changes that your life takes on over the next few years (both practical and philosophical) should be recognised, cherished and even celebrated.</p>\n<p>From what I\'ve seen recently about living and working in the West - well, I for one don\'t want to ever face that again. I\'ve been an expat since 1987 and every time I go back for a visit, the happier I am to come home.. to Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/over-40-dont-fear.-teaching-in-thailand-is-still-for-you1\">Over 40?

I had promised my wife &lsquo;a shopping day\' so today\'s itinerary consisted of Harajuku and Shibuya, two of Tokyo\'s trendiest (and busiest) shopping areas.</p>\n<h3>\'Nam jai\'</h3>\n<p>Anyone who has been with a Thai partner for any length of time will be familiar with the cultural concept of &lsquo;nam jai\'. Nam jai is the buying of small gifts or souvenirs for work colleagues and family, just to show you were thinking of them while you were on your travels. The value or quality of the gift doesn\'t matter; it\'s the thought that counts.</p>\n<p>My wife is something of a nam jai master. She has so many people to buy for and frankly I feel sorry for her having to traipse around stores looking for ideal small gifts when she\'s supposed to be on holiday. Me? I buy a bag of sweets at the airport for my gym trainer and that\'s it.</p>\n<p>Both the Harajuku and Shibuya neighborhoods are served by busy train stations on the JR Yamanote line so getting to them from Ueno is a breeze. Harajuku was first.</p>\n<h3>Trendy Harajuku</h3>\n<p>Fancy walking around dressed as a wizard or a witch or decked out in your full Hello Kitty regalia with oversize pink bows? Then Harajuku is the place to be seen. It\'s where the younger generation goes to pose and pout in outfits that I\'m sure have their parents shaking heads in disbelief.</p>\n<p>At the centre of it all is Takeshita Street, a narrow, pedestrianized street crammed with clothes shops selling all manner of stuff that you\'d probably never admit to wearing or owning.</p>\n<p>There are also some splendid coffee shops and boutique cafes and while my wife and I enjoyed a spot of breakfast, a male customer came in wearing knee-length sheepskin boots and a pvc mini-skirt. He must have been at least 60 years old but no one batted an eyelid (well, except me and the wife) It was just another day in Harajuku.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo17.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>One of the main reasons tourists and the plain old curious flock to the Harajuku neighborhood is to see the cosplay dressers - young Japanese dressed up as popular cartoon characters and comic book heroes. They are only too happy to pose for photographs. No money changes hands. It\'s done purely for the love of dressing up and being on show.</p>\n<p>Disappointingly, the cosplay dressers only come out on Sundays and we were flying back to Bangkok on that day but at least we got to see them during our first visit.</p>\n<h3>The sights of Shibuya</h3>\n<p>We moved on to Shibuya. When you emerge from the chaos of the train station, you\'re confronted with one of the classic images of Tokyo - the famous five-lane intersection. When the traffic lights turn to red, a mass of humanity makes its way across the streets in all directions. One can only gawp and reflect on how overcrowded some of the world\'s biggest cities are.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo18.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>My wife dragged me from shopping mall to shopping mall. Well, perhaps &lsquo;dragged\' is an unfair word to use, but since I\'ve recently made a determined effort to de-clutter my life and surround myself with fewer material possessions, window-shopping doesn\'t have the same appeal as it once did. But I played the role of the dutiful husband and held her six layers of clothing whenever she went into a changing room to try something on.</p>\n<p>No trip to Shibuya is complete without a photo taken alongside the bronze statue of Hachiko, the Akita dog who famously waited at the station for his master to come home, even years after the guy had tragically dropped dead at the office. I had seen the statue before but I love the story and I\'m a huge dog lover - so I consider paying my respects at the statue akin to some sort of pilgrimage.</p>\n<p>On our first visit six years ago, we took some lovely snaps with the statue and all we had to do was push two elderly Japanese women out of the way. But today half of Tokyo had descended on this shady corner outside Shibuya Station and getting up, close and personal with Hachiko was a physical impossibility. I just held my smartphone camera above the crowd, clicked in the general direction of the statue and hoped for the best.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo19.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>In the evening, we decided on another leisurely stroll around Ueno. When darkness falls and temperatures dip to below zero, you never feel like venturing far.</p>\n<p>But let\'s finish the day by talking about fast food and bicycle lanes.</p>\n<h3>Dodging bicycles</h3>\n<p>If you were compiling a list of things that Tokyo probably does better than any other city in the world, I\'m sure the list would be impressive. But you won\'t see cycle lane systems on it. It\'s strangely reassuring to know that even a city as progressive and technologically advanced as Tokyo can still make a right balls-up of something relatively simple.</p>\n<p>Tokyo\'s city planners need to book a long weekend in Amsterdam and see how it\'s done. Now that\'s a city where the cyclist is king. Pedestrians walk on one side of the footpath; cyclists on the other. And both sides are clearly marked as to where you should walk or cycle. Woe betide the pedestrian who strays into two-wheeler territory. I know from painful experience that it\'s the fastest way to learn some choice words of Dutch and have cyclists wave their angry fists at you.</p>\n<p>But we are focusing on Tokyo and their efforts to become &lsquo;The Amsterdam of The Far East\' now that the number of cyclists has increased significantly over the past few years (far more of them about compared to when I last came)</p>\n<p>Cyclists on one side of the footpath; pedestrians on the other side. Oh, if only it were that simple.</p>\n<p>Even though footpath lanes are indicated by faded markings of bicycles and legs, neither the cyclists nor the pedestrians either know where they should be or even care where they should be. The result is chaos. Cyclists weave in and out of both lanes (often at ridiculously high speeds) and the pedestrians do their level best to avoid getting flattened.</p>\n<p>But I did well this evening while walking to Central Ueno and back. I was only &lsquo;almost hit by a bicycle\' twice - compared to four times the night before.</p>\n<h3>Tokyo fast food</h3>\n<p>There is no limit to the amount of money you can burn through in Tokyo and how quickly your wallet empties depends much on your choice of eateries. So here\'s a bit of bog standard, &lsquo;guide-book style\' advice - look out for the Japanese fast-food diners.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure the Japanese have a name for them but these fast-food joints are similar in layout to an American style diner - at least the ones I\'ve seen in movies - where customers sit at a semi-circular counter and the waiter serves you from the inner space.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/tokyo20.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>When you enter the restaurant, there will be a ticket machine on the wall. You simply select the dish you want from a set of numbered photos, insert your money, and collect a coupon. You then find an empty seat at the counter and hand your coupon to the friendly waiter. No cash changes hands. And within minutes, there\'s a steaming plate of wholesome Japanese grub put before you. And the prices are extremely reasonable.</p>\n<p>We ate at one of these restaurants almost every night and I noticed they seem to be popular with office workers looking for a quick nosebag on their way home. There is no time for pleasantries or chit-chat. The salaryman enters, gets his coupon, and once his meal is served, he shovels down spoonfuls of curry and rice without making the slightest eye contact with anyone around him. Then upon completion, there might be the teeniest and economical nod of gratitude towards the waiter before he heads back out into the cold Tokyo night.</p>\n<p>No one lingers over the meal. They are purely re-fueling stops.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might be interested in.....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-1\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 1) -&nbsp;Getting from Tokyo Airport, Asakusa, The Tokyo Skytree and Ueno</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-two\">Seven days in Tokyo (part 2)&nbsp;-&nbsp;A day trip to Yokohama</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/locked-out-with-air-bnb\">Locked out with Air B\'n\'B - Frustrations with using the popular accommodation website</a></p>','','2016-01-28 02:19:50',1,'2016-01-28 02:19:50','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30583,20,'Adventures in rural Thailand','adventures-in-rural-thailand','My first six months at a Thai government school','Over a typical week I see four hundred or more students, across Mathayom levels one to six, aged twelve to eighteen. Class sizes range from twenty to thirty students.','<p>The first six months of settling down in North East Thailand have flown by. During half of that time, I\'ve been teaching at a rural government school.</p>\n<p>Having completed three months probation through a teaching agency, the school seem happy with their farang, native English speaking teacher. I\'m no stranger to the teaching profession, but a complete novice to teaching English in Thailand.</p>\n<p>The initial hurdle a teacher needs to make with the students, I believe, is gaining their respect. In Thai culture, teachers get that in spades. Something I was aware of, although this was my first hand experience with the Thai wai from students.</p>\n<h3>Settling in</h3>\n<p>After a week I\'d settled in, despite my lack of speaking Thai. The school weren\'t concerned about my inability to converse in Thai, as they were very keen for their students to improve their spoken English. I discovered that many of the student\'s reluctance to speak English were through lack of confidence or shyness. I constantly engage with the students out of lesson time and they\'re now keen to try &lsquo;talking with teacher\'.</p>\n<p>Initially, my priority was to get to know the students and their names. In the UK, it wouldn\'t have been a problem recalling three hundred students\' names in the first few weeks. However, in Thailand, trying to grasp their names, or nicknames for that matter, has been somewhat of a challenge.</p>\n<p>Calling the register always proves fun, when I mispronounce their names. I\'ve tried using name badges, photos, students drawing self portraits (a fun activity). Yet I\'ve found talking with them, getting students to write their names frequently, helps both the student and teacher. I\'ve noted how well the students hand writing skills are, as well as their reading ability.</p>\n<h3>Plenty of resources</h3>\n<p>Starting the teacher post in semester two, I was fortunate to receive ample teaching resources from the agency, in the form of a work book and supporting PowerPoints, with some rudimentary training. The students each had their own workbook that is kept in the classroom. I think workbooks are a robust system to get you started, and it\'s also a good means to monitor student\'s progress. Thai students really appreciate seeing feedback on their work and I\'m always quick to give them praise in class.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in (from the same writer)....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-guests/going-with-the-flow\">Going with the flow - Getting a teaching job in rural Thailand</a></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Over a typical week I see four hundred or more students, across Mathayom levels one to six, aged twelve to eighteen. I see each group once, that\'s sixteen groups in all, so equates to about sixteen hours of contact time.</p>\n<p>Classes range in size, from twenty to thirty, which suits me fine. Free periods and between classes, allows me sufficient time to prepare lessons, test papers and marking. Utilising the workbooks I compliment them with student activities and extension tasks for the higher learners. I\'m very adept at lesson planning; I also tend to incorporate lesson plans from TES and the British Council, in conjunction with my own library of teaching materials.</p>\n<h3>Teacher support</h3>\n<p>The schedule is very manageable and I have a desk in the staffroom, sharing a hot desk for internet access, I have a projector and PC with no internet in my classroom. So I tend to work between the two. I just ensure that I\'m readily available and approachable, to both students and staff.</p>\n<p>The job has been made all the easier by the Thai English department staff. They\'ve also been friendly and accommodating and I\'ve been happy to help out when needed, although I know when to refuse politely. The department manager has pretty much let me be, so no micro management or classroom intrusions.</p>\n<p>The director has popped into my class once, and sat in all the lessons when I\'m asked to teach the Thai English staff. That\'s also proved fun, especially the class on English culture and making a proper cup of tea.</p>\n<p>Before teaching in Thailand I did my research as to where I wanted to continue my career. Despite getting offers from various institutions, the prospect of teaching at a government school proved more appealing. Purely because I\'m keen to immerse myself in the culture, whilst experiencing the educational system from the grass roots up.</p>\n<h3>Different to the UK</h3>\n<p>So I was under no illusion with my expectations. And I\'ve been lucky, to say the least. The school has character, as do all the staff and students. It\'s a stark contrast to the colleges and universities I\'ve taught at in England.</p>\n<p>The biggest difference is the respect teachers garner from the students. I\'ve also encountered minimal behavioural issues here. Some students can be boisterous but in the classroom they are excellent. Fifty minutes for a lesson means I can use a variety of teaching methods to keep the students engaged. Making the lessons more student centred, less chalk and talk.</p>\n<p>The students always enjoy &lsquo;activities\' of sorts and Christmas was great fun, helping them to make snowflakes and rehearse for the Christmas pantomime. It\'s encouraging to see the students make further progress in speaking English, even though by small increments.</p>\n<p>The school recently had an inspection and I could see the staff busy collating the relevant paperwork. I was informed to have lesson plans at the ready. There appeared to be minimal frenetic panicking, that I\'d been witness to during many Ofsted inspections. That\'s something I don\'t miss about teaching in England.</p>\n<p>I\'ve also not been privy to any form of differentiation within the school that I\'d been heavily indoctrinated to in the UK. I\'ve taught at a college where there was so much data, you could tell the BAME of every classroom and where any student was at any given time. A tad Orwellian.</p>\n<p>What I really miss is the camaraderie, office banter, the colourful language that teachers would exchange within the staffroom.</p>\n<p>I shan\'t return to teaching in the UK any time soon, the stress, strains of the job has led a lot of good teachers to pastures new. So why not make that leap like I did and teach in Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>Nigel Quinn</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2016-01-31 18:53:05',1,'2016-01-31 18:53:05','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30588,52,'February 2016','february-2016','All the latest info from Thailand\'s main TEFL course providers','The busy hiring season for teachers in Thailand is fast approaching.

Students stay tuned to the repertoire of activities presented, deepen their liking for the subject, and look forward to more English encounters.','<p>In my desire to know why many Thai students do not like English, I interviewed several of them I met from schools I was invited to help during English camps in Nonthaburi province.</p>\n<p>I would ask them if they liked English. If they did, I would praise them and congratulate their teachers, who happened to be mostly Filipinos, for they were in the right direction.</p>\n<p>However, if they would say that they preferred other subjects like Computer, Art, Physical Education, Science, Math or other subjects, I would ask them, \"Why not English?\" Most of them would say, \"Teacher, English is difficult because. I don\'t understand.\" As a result they would dislike English, got bored in the subject, and disrupted English lessons.</p>\n<p>Well, our public elementary school students in Nonthaburi, Thailand who are learning English as a foreign language sometimes encounter teachers who don\'t mind so much about understanding but go on with their lessons for the sake of performing their job. Of course not all, but many also are in a hurry to finish their curriculum for the term.</p>\n<p>To make my students acquire the skill of understanding for   learning and enjoyment, I thought of dictionary lessons. Before, I used to begin my lessons with warm-up activities like vocabulary practice, pronunciation, spelling, and playing games in identifying words to learn using their psychomotor skills in racing, running, jumping, hopping, wheel barrowing, and all sorts of active movements.</p>\n<p>There was nothing wrong with those activities, but in order to utilize the insights I got from students who disliked English, I used dictionary lessons.</p>\n<p>One term, I bought pocket dictionaries that cost only 50 baht. By the way, I could do that because my biggest class in school was only 15 in Grade 6 while my smallest class was 5 in Grade 1. I was lucky, right? Every time we studied our vocabulary words, we looked up the meaning of words in Thai. They did this in a race so they enjoyed it so much. When I started it, 2/3 of my students in every class would find the words for eternity. But after they were taught the skills, mind you, two-thirds of my students   could find the words even faster than me.</p>\n<p>What\'s the trick? Well, I started this strategy by letting my students look for individual letters starting with ABC, DEF, GHI, etc. until letter Z especially with Grade 1. I saw to it that everybody found the letters and I checked them one by one.</p>\n<p>Then I proceeded to two- letter words, three-letter words, emphasizing the use of guide words in the dictionary found on top right or top left. When they were quite keen in looking for the letters, after so many fun drills, I led them to focus on a certain page and looked for the word there. They would run their fingers down the word and when they found it they raised their hand.</p>\n<p>I kept on training them until they were good at it. Then they looked for the word from a page, two pages then to 3 pages of the dictionary until I asked words anywhere.</p>\n<p>They were trained that when looking for a word, they should look for the location of the word. So they should know how to approximate the location of the word either in the first few pages, in the middle, near the middle, or near the end of the dictionary. Then they looked for the second letter. If the second letter was not there, they would run their finger down the succeeding words. if the third letter was not there, they would turn again the next page until he/she found  the letter and the word.</p>\n<p>Children were happy to find the words and their meaning in Thai. In Grade 1, they were helped a bit by only looking for the word in a given page. To make the search easy, the word had to be written on the board too. Although, giving meaning to the word was dispensed this time. They were only trained to look for the word. For older kids, they really had to give the meaning.</p>\n<p>My students not only liked dictionary lesson but loved it. Oftentimes, even if they hadn\'t greeted yet, they would ask, \"Teacher, let\'s have dictionary lesson.\" Also at times, when I left the room for something for a few minutes, when I came back, I would find one student acting as the teacher and the classmates as the students look for the words in the dictionary.</p>\n<p>Dictionary lesson is fun. Even if students are non-readers yet, they are overwhelmed to find the word asked by the teacher. They always display an awe of expression as if there is magic in finding the word in an instant. It gives them ample skills in identifying, discriminating, and for some good ones reading as well as spelling.</p>\n<p>Understanding is one of the keys in making a lesson interesting. It keeps students stay tuned to the repertoire of activities presented, deepen their liking for the subject, and look forward to more English encounters.</p>\n<p>So, put that Thai-English dictionary gathering dust in the library into life.</p>\n<p>Make those inattentive or uninterested kids to work and lead them to more understanding so that they can enhance their reading skills and make learning English words very exciting.</p>','','2016-02-02 06:37:38',1,'2016-02-02 06:37:38','2016-02-02 20:08:39'),(30612,20,'The joys of winter in Thailand','the-joys-of-winter-in-thailand','What\'s not to love about it!','After a couple years living in a country where the average daytime temperature is around 32C, you start to celebrate when temperatures finally start to cool.','<p>Living in the UK, where winter consists of month after month of dark miserable weather, it was difficult to get excited about dropping temperatures - but after a couple years living in a country where the average daytime temperature is around 32C and you start to celebrate when temperatures finally start to cool.</p>\n<p>These last few weeks have seen daytime temperatures in Bangkok drop to 15C while up in Chiang Mai daytime temperatures have been as low as 9C - which has had half the city\'s population dressing in puffer jackets and wooly hats like extras from a Benetton ad campaign.</p>\n<p>In fact there are lots of reasons to love winter in Thailand....</p>\n<h3>No morning traffic</h3>\n<p>One thing I never understand is why there is so little traffic on the coldest mornings - do people just say to themselves, &lsquo;nah... too cold today, ain\'t going to work...

It\'s more a celebration of Thai culture from someone who truly appreciates all the wackiness going on around him. <br />I think the book has a broad appeal - from the regular fortnight-a year holidaymaker who loves Thailand and wants to get to know it better to perhaps the long-term expat who will be pleasantly surprised at how little they know about their adopted country.</p>\n<p>The book is divided into seven meaty chapters covering topics from Thai history and culture and the joys of Thai food through to Thai music, movies and art - and lots more in-between.</p>\n<p>There are interviews with real-life Thai and Thailand-based characters - the somtam seller, the hotel guest officer, the expat entrepreneur, the English teacher made good and the Thai DJ to name but a few.</p>\n<p>In the chapter titled simply &lsquo;Amazing Thailand\', Jody begins with a look at Thai pastimes such as bull-fighting and gambling. There\'s a feature on Thai amulets. We all see Thai men wearing these things but how much do amulets sell for and how are they classified? There\'s a look at Thai karaoke culture, Thai massage (the &lsquo;wink wink\' variety included) and why Thais walk around with inhalers stuck up their nostrils.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never had any interest in Thai boxing but still enjoyed Jody\'s explanations of Muay Thai\'s origins and who have been the biggest names in the sport (both past and present) as well as an explanation of the different belts.</p>\n<p>And of course no book of this nature would be complete without a section on ladyboys. &lsquo;A Geek in Thailand\' takes you inside the dressing room at a typical ladyboy cabaret show.

Having done one border run from Bangkok to Vientiane I can tell you that it isn\'t fun or cheap. Three days and 9,000 Baht later I was ready to look for a new job to escape that hell.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are a native speaker and have a degree then there is no reason that you shouldn\'t get these documents and secondly that your employer pays for them. My first employer made me pay for mine which wasn\'t a good surprise.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Getting a new visa and work permit update each year can cost you upwards of 5,000 Baht plus travel and time expenses. Make sure the job covers these and pays for them.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Assistance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Linked to visas, my current company has a \"visa guy\" whose job it is to sort out everything regarding visas and work permits.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You know the guy who cuts to the front of the queue at immigration and seems to know everyone there - well he is my company\'s visa guy. I had to apply for my yearly visa last week and I arrived 15 minutes early at Chaengwattana and met my visa guy who had all the documents for me to just sign.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We spoke to the security guard and got queue number 5 despite there being over 200 people in line already. I was out of the immigration department within 15 minutes with a new visa, single re-entry stamp and the promise that my work permit would be updated and back to me in a few days. I don\'t go to immigration for 90 day check ins - it is all done by my visa guy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The amount I save in time, effort and cost is huge to me - it\'s a great perk of my job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I also have foreign support staff at the head office who look after HR, contract and tax issues for me - I don\'t have to do anything myself and if I have problems I have experienced native English speakers to assist.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should check what assistance you are offered. My first job was in the sticks and meant a 1,000 Baht round trip cab fare to go to immigration without any help or assistance from my agency - it\'s a situation that I didn\'t prepare for or ask about before I accepted the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Insurance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Working in Thailand you will want to get insurance. Whether it is motorcycle accidents or drunken escapades on vacation I always see a steady stream of foreigners on crutches, with broken arms or just feeling the effects of a bad somtam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai social security should be taken from your monthly pay check and give you access to some medical services at a selected government hospital. However, I would say that for many people this isn\'t enough and some form of private medical insurance is advisable. This can cost upwards of 2,000 Baht a month so if it is included in a job offer then it is a very good perk to have on top of your salary.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Check details though as many policies just cover the basics. For example my work insurance covers only 3,500 Baht per accident and 2,000 Baht per day for the cost of the room and nursing etc. This covers for broken arms and simple illness, perhaps food poisoning etc but if the worst happened I would have to pay for surgery or advanced treatment out of my own pocket.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My friend got a terrible fever and spent four nights in Bangkok Hospital and walked out with a 95,000 Baht bill - she didn\'t have health insurance and left Thailand the next week.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Accommodation</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Some jobs, especially those at government schools, come with free housing or a housing allowance.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This could work both ways in that maybe the house is great or the allowance covers what you want to rent but it could also limit you to living in a certain area. Do you really want to be living on the school campus in free accommodation?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Allowances of 3,000 are typical in my opinion from many agencies and can either be in a set building or they may pay you extra and allow you to find your own place. This could turn a job which is paying 32,000 Baht into a 35,000 Baht job when you consider your housing is provided free of charge.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Holiday Pay and Bonus</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It is now more common for many government jobs to only pay for 11 months (sometimes less) so really the monthly salary is less than advertised as you won\'t be paid for the school holiday months. So if you can find a government school job which pays all 12 months then it will definitely help your finances.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is also more common for bonuses to be paid to staff who complete a 1 year contract especially at language centres, private and bilingual schools. Normally an extra month\'s salary, it is a welcome yearly top up to your funds. Maybe you see a job which pays an extra 1-2k a month but in reality this is less than one paying a bonus if you plan to stay the year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You should also think about restrictions on when you can use your holiday. I worked for an agency and confirmed my holiday dates during the October holiday only for them to email me during my holiday to tell me school would now start a week earlier (whilst I was in the USA). This was the final straw for me as they docked me a week\'s pay for the time I \"missed \" so I left to my current job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Working in a language centre I have to work weekends but I can also have my holiday whenever I want. I went to my sister\'s wedding in June, I couldn\'t have gone if I was in a government school job. The value of this flexibility is important to me and it is hard to put a monetary value on it.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Location</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It is important to remember that certain parts of Thailand are cheaper than others. For example your money will go further in a sleepy Issan town than on Koh Samui. It is also important to be somewhere you want to be. In the end being in that sleepy Issan village might drive you insane and force you to spend a lot of money travelling away in your free time.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Get Everything</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So yes your salary is important but also check the above to make sure you are getting the complete package. Of course you can always ask for these things at the interview stage and there is no harm asking.\r\n	<br>In the end there are many jobs which offer all, or the majority of the above, in addition to a good salary so don\'t be afraid to look around and find the perfect complete package for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/richard-mccully/pay-rises-and-promotions\">Pay rises and promotions - How to aim higher and enjoy a better quality of life as a teacher</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/how-far-does-a-30k-salary-go-in-bangkok\">How far does a 30K salary go in Bangkok? - Will you be living well - or simply surviving?</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living\">The cost of living guide - How much do foreign teachers in Thailand earn and what do they spend their money on?</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I\'ve recently discovered an amazing Thai product called the Miracles Crystal Deo Stick and I\'d like to share my discovery with the world if I may.</p>\n<p>Miracles Crystal Deo Stick sells for about 50 baht at most branches of 7-11 and is available in both a stick form (as the name suggests) and as a clear liquid in a spray bottle.</p>\n<p>Yes, if you haven\'t already guessed, this blog is all about keeping your armpits feeling fresh and smelling sweetly. Real men can stop reading right now.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/crystal.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Gawd, it\'s hot!</h3>\n<p>Thailand is hot and humid. And if the weather is hot and humid, you\'re going to sweat. And eventually you\'ll start to stink and begin to wonder why you\'ve always got plenty of personal space on the sky-train.</p>\n<p>I\'ve always been a spray-can antiperspirant user in Thailand but in my opinion, stuff like this costs a fortune here. My deodorant of choice was always Nivea Impact, and even in places like Boots, it ran to around 160 baht a can. And I was getting through at least two cans a month.</p>\n<h3>Laundry blues</h3>\n<p>That wasn\'t the problem though. I was at the end of my tether with throwing away perfectly good dark-colored t-shirts because they had unsightly white stains under the armpits. These white stains are caused by aluminum salts and compounds that are present in virtually all antiperspirants.</p>\n<p>It got to the stage where I was chucking out t-shirts after fewer than half a dozen wears. I became paranoid about chalky armpit stains.</p>\n<h3>Home remedies</h3>\n<p>The internet is heaving with housewives\' tips and home remedies on how to get rid of these stains. You name it, I tried it - white vinegar, concentrated lemon juice, baking soda, distilled water and two crushed aspirins (no really) and that ridiculously hard-to-obtain combination of monkey piss and Borax.</p>\n<p>Nothing worked. In fact it some cases, the white stains became even more visible.</p>\n<p>And then I discovered Miracles Crystal Deo Stick. \"It\'s what working-class Thai people use\" my wife told me. OK, it wasn\'t much of an endorsement but I was up for trying anything once.</p>\n<p>I\'ll resist the temptation to get all technical but the deo stick is basically a herbal stone that kills the bacteria in your perspiration. And it\'s the bacteria that causes the stink.</p>\n<h3>Using your deo stick</h3>\n<p>How to apply? Well, after you\'ve emerged from your morning shower smelling faintly of soap, you simply wet the deo stick under a cold tap and apply it to your underarm areas as you would with a roll-on deodorant. With the spray liquid form, you just spray it under your arms and then rub it around a bit.</p>\n<p>Whether you choose the stick or liquid, it\'s entirely colorless and with no hint of a fragrance.</p>\n<p>And it just works! And it goes on working all day long.</p>\n<h3>However......</h3>\n<p>So now I\'ve bigged up the product, I should probably mention the downsides.</p>\n<p>If like me, you\'ve been a deodorant user since forever - and you only feel ready to face the outside world once you\'re smelling like a tart\'s window-box - you\'re going to have to get used to not smelling of anything except your &lsquo;natural skin\'. Actually I\'d forgotten what natural skin smelled like.</p>\n<p>Secondly, because the deo stick and spray are NOT antiperspirants, you\'ll perspire big time, which increases your chances of walking around all day with two sweat patches the size of dinner plates. And when sweat has soaked into fabric for any length of time, let\'s just say that it doesn\'t bring back fond memories of my grandad\'s rose garden.</p>\n<p>While the combination of sweat on fabric won\'t be enough to make colleagues talk behind your back, it could make you feel a tad self-conscious. I\'ve now found myself changing my t-shirts at least twice a day.</p>\n<p>\"Ah, so it\'s a swings and roundabouts situation\" I hear you cry. \"What you are saving on expensive antiperspirants, you\'re losing on a bigger laundry bill each week\" And you\'ve certainly got a point.</p>\n<p>But at least I\'m not throwing good clothes away.</p>\n<p>If you\'re a long-time deo stick user, I\'d love to hear your thoughts. And if you\'re not, give it a try! And may your armpits exude sweetness until the eveningtide.</p>\n<p>Next week: living in harmony with your bum gun.</p>','','2016-03-01 02:00:26',1,'2016-03-01 02:00:26','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30715,59,'Helping students with spelling','helping-students-with-spelling','Activities for your writing classes','Make spelling part of your writing lessons. It works wonders and a poor spelling student before is now a poor speller no more.','<p>One important aspect of writing which we, EFL teachers in Thailand, sometimes fail to develop among our students is spelling. Oh, we have given so much skill development on reading, speaking, writing and listening, but spelling as an integral part of writing is given less importance.</p>\n<p>Yes, many of our students are capable of speaking and can easily transfer their oral language skills to written form, but there are still a number of students who need some enhancement in their spelling skills.</p>\n<h3>Spelling activities</h3>\n<p>There was a time when students of mine in a new school could not spell simple words compared to my previous students in other schools. They were so conversant yet when asked to spell certain words they were hard up. I therefore modified the activities required of us by integrating spelling in my lessons. It did work so I formalized my spelling activities.</p>\n<p>To make spelling more interesting among my students, I provided them spelling booklets they could use whenever we had spelling lessons. I got 40 notebooks from my coordinator and cut them into halves so the students could have small spelling booklets. Every week, after studying vocabulary words, I selected five words for Grades 1-3 and 10 words for Grades 4-6 to copy and master.</p>\n<h3>Spelling warm-up</h3>\n<p>Before starting the lesson every meeting, the students would review from their spelling booklet, engage a race in spelling the words on the board, join a spelling quiz, ask classmates to spell a particular word, etc. The students found this regular review something to look forward to which enabled them to know the words by heart.</p>\n<p>Students had fun in our spelling activities because they spelled words in various ways. They would spell words with closed eyes on their palms, on their foreheads, on their classmates back, in the air, and on the floor.</p>\n<p>They would spell the words using their body, pen, chin, or head either lying down or standing up, filling up the missing letters in a worksheet, spelling the letters backwards, spelling the letters on the board in a race, forming words from the letters scattered on the floor, spelling by groups, pairs, using an interaction game, and doing puzzles and games in the internet, and so on and so forth.</p>\n<p>To make it more challenging, I did spelling contests in front of the flag ceremony.  The student who misspelled no word emerged as the winner and received a prize.</p>\n<p>To see to it that I could sustain their interest I designed different games to make spelling fun. Here are my sample games:</p>\n<h3>Games and activities for spelling classes</h3>\n<p>1.	Spelling Showdown - Teams are formed. Group members compete with another group. The group that garners most of the points wins.</p>\n<p>2.	Spelling Wizards - The whole class is formed into two groups. Group 1 member plays \"Rock, Stone, and Paper\" with the Group 2 member. The winner of the play has the chance to spell the word the teacher gives. If this student answers the question correctly he/she gets a point for his/her group. If he/she can\'t spell correctly the chance goes to another team member. This is done until everyone has participated.</p>\n<p>3.	Winner Takes It All - This time everybody is a contestant. The contestant picks a spelling word from a box. The teacher reads it and the student spells. If this student spells the word, he/she remains a qualifier. The second one is asked, if this student can spell, he /she is qualified. If he/she fails to spell the word, he /she is eliminated then another one is asked This goes on and on until qualifiers are established (those who have no mistakes). The qualifiers compete with each other again and the one who is not eliminated is declared the winner.</p>\n<p>4.	Spell on Me, Spell on You - Students work in pairs. One student writes a word at the back of the classmate. The classmate guesses the word. If he gets it, he earns a point and does the turn of writing on his classmate\'s back. This is repeated until the person who gets most points wins.</p>\n<p>5.	Do you have a letter? This is played by two players. They need a notebook and a pen. Player A thinks of a word to spell and tells the partner how many letters it has. The partner draws the number of lines corresponding to the number of letters of the word. Similarly, Player B thinks of a word to spell and tells the partner how many letters it has. The partner draws the number of lines corresponding to the number of letters of the word.</p>\n<p>Player A asks if B has a certain letter. If B has, Player A asks on what space it is? Player B answers and Player A writes on the specified space. Then Player B asks if A has a certain letter. If A has, Player B asks on what space it is? Player A answers and Player B writes on the specified space. In case no letter is present in the word to spell, they take turn asking each other.  Even if the spaces are not yet completed, any player can guess the spelling word. A point of course is given to the correct answer.</p>\n<p>6.	 Light Wheel Spelling. Spelling words are posted on the side of 12 bulbs in a wheel. The papers are folded to hide the words. The student presses the button of the switch and the bulbs light in a circular motion. If the student releases the button, the light stops but has the light on. The teacher opens the paper and reads the word for the student to spell. The student who spells correctly the word earns a point for the team. The winning team has the most number of points.</p>\n<p>7.	Table Bell Spelling. Two table bells are used. Students have a race in tapping the bell. The first to do it spells the teacher\'s word. The group that spells more words is declared the winner</p>\n<p>8.	Shoot the Goal Spelling - Using a ball, the student shoots a goal. He or she will have the privilege of shooting the goal if he/she can spell the word asked by the teacher.</p>\n<p>9.	Table Tennis Spelling -This time the student can play a table tennis racket only after he/she has spelled correctly the word assigned to him/her. The number of ping pong ball bounced is counted and the team that has the most number of bounces wins.</p>\n<p>At times, I have the practice of asking my students the spelling of words to be written on the board for them to copy. I play the role of a teacher who doesn\'t know how to spell the words and they help me spell orally to make them feel <br />good. It works and because of this little success, many of them say, and I am happy, that their favorite subject is English.</p>\n<p>Make spelling part of your writing lessons. It does wonders and a poor spelling student before   is now a poor speller no more.</p>','','2016-03-09 05:47:17',1,'2016-03-09 05:47:17','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30730,20,'The realities of teaching','the-realities-of-teaching','Every picture tells a story','To help with adjusting to life as a classroom teacher, here are 10 great memes to expose some classroom realities.','<p>There is no other profession in the world quite like teaching; the challenges, the experiences and the sense of achievement, it is a truly unique and fulfilling career.</p>\n<p>If you are fresh off a teacher training course, it is important to realise that the realities of working in a school are often very different from what you may be expecting.</p>\n<p>To help with adjusting to the realities of life as a classroom teacher, here are 10 great memes to expose some classroom realities.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/memeblog1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>1)	No matter how well you explain something, there are usually one or two students that will not have listened to your instructions and as soon as you ask the class to begin work, they\'ll raise their hands and ask you to repeat everything!</p>\n<p>2)	Classroom management is one of the most important skills to ensure a productive classroom. Having a &lsquo;I\'m not amused face\' is a powerful tool that most teachers use to signal disapproval - it\'s highly effective and can be used with students from kindergarten to high school - this cat does it brilliantly!</p>\n<p>3)	One skill which you won\'t have learnt on your teacher training course is the ability to unscramble and decipher student code (also known as abysmal spelling &amp; handwriting). Over time you\'ll develop this skills and one day you\'ll realise that even the most illegible scribblings can be read.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/memeblog2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>4)	Staff meetings can be important, after all it\'s useful to know that the entire school will be wearing pink polo shirts next Tuesday or that you are taking the Grade 9 students on a field trip to the zoo next Friday - but more often than not staff meetings, which could be conducted in less than 10 minutes, tend to drag on and on. Every now and then it\'s nice when they get cancelled.</p>\n<p>5)	Having to write lengthy lesson plans is an unfortunate reality of working in a Thai school and no matter how hard you stare at your computer screen, they don\'t write themselves. If you\'re able to grab last year\'s lesson plans from the academic department or a teacher who is leaving, you\'ll save a lot of time by simply editing and updating these, rather than writing them from scratch.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/memeblog3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>6)	There are some students in every class who love to ask questions....unfortunately, those questions often have nothing to do with the lesson! <br />Popular examples include;</p>\n<p>- &lsquo;Teacher, who\'s better, Ronaldo or Messi?\' <br />- &lsquo;How tall are you?\'<br />- &lsquo;Why is there a hole in your sock?\'<br />- &lsquo;Are you single?\' &lsquo;Why/why not?\' <br />- &lsquo;Do you have a six pack?\' &lsquo;Why/why not?\'<br />- &lsquo;What does _ _ _ _  (4-lettered profanity) mean?</p>\n<p>7)	Parent-teacher relations are important for student achievement and it\'s good to work with parents that take an active interest in their child\'s progress... but every now and again, you come across a parent who has a reason to email you every couple of days!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/memeblog4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>8)	Having students realise that by simply completing the assignments you set, their end-of-term scores will improve, seems to be a difficult concept for many students to grasp....especially teenagers!&nbsp;They often don\'t realise until it\'s too late</p>\n<p>9) Sitting patiently and waiting for the class to be quiet is an excellent classroom management technique - problem is, some classes take a very long time to settle down.</p>\n<p>10)	Group work is an essential 21st Century skill which all schools should support students to develop - the only problem with a lot of groups is that one or two diligent students do all the hard work while the others do absolutely nothing.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><span><strong>Daniel Maxwell<br />Varee Chiangmai School<br />www.twitter.com/TeacherDanMax</strong></span></p>\n<p><strong>Check out my new website as well - <a href=\"http://teachersnotes.net/\">Teachers Notes (all about education)</a></strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2016-03-13 06:12:43',1,'2016-03-13 06:12:43','2016-03-13 20:08:44'),(30739,71,'Outside connections','outside-connections','Is communicating with students using apps and social media a good idea?','I think the social media connections have been more helpful than harmful, and I\'ll likely continue the practice with classes to come.','<p>This year, I decided to do something I haven\'t in years past: add every single student I teach to Line groups for reminding them of things, posting scheduling changes, and anything else that may come up. (For those of you outside of Asia, Line is a messaging app similar to WhatsApp.)</p>\n<h3>Right decision?</h3>\n<p>On the flip side, the groups give students access to me via another communications medium, specifically useful for more personal issues that don\'t create the paper trail that email does. The primary side effect of this decision is a far closer integration between school life and home life. Have I made the right decision?</p>\n<p>I never did this with classes I taught when I was at a government school here in Thailand; the English barrier made such an idea impractical, and I previously taught younger (middle school) students... too young to benefit from or make good use of such a group in my mind.</p>\n<p>My current high school students, though, seem to use the groups only when necessary, and I\'ve found it has created more unified classes (for me and them) than previous courses I\'ve taught.</p>\n<h3>Wrong to pry</h3>\n<p>I will note that I am not a Facebook user (I just have no interest in what people are doing every ten seconds), and although I know some teachers have Facebook groups for their students, I really don\'t want to be prying into their lives that much-nor the other way around. Call me old fashioned, but I think there are just too many ways to get in a tight spot with that level of connection, even with profiles created separately and specifically for school use.</p>\n<p>I\'ll also note that my school uses Google Classroom, an online assignment submission platform, and I\'ve found (surprise surprise) that students tire quickly of the automatically generated emails it sends every time a teacher posts something. Line seems to fill that happy medium between too formal and too informal.</p>\n<h3>Too obtrusive?</h3>\n<p>These things said, in the past I made it a point of leaving school at school, and keeping home at home. That\'s no longer the case; it\'s quite common for me to get Line messages from students asking about assignments, grammar questions, and the odd joke well past midnight, and holidays are fair game too. Is it obtrusive? Do I feel like I have to reply? Not really. But still, it\'s far easier to ignore an email than it is to ignore a Line notification.</p>\n<p>Ten years ago, it would be unheard of for a teacher to keep in such close contact with all students; I\'m sure my mom (a teacher) would have been fired for asking a student after hours if he/she is ok after seeing an issue in class, and I\'m not sure where the line is to be drawn between being a professional educator and a mentor. I\'m also still not sure how willing I am to blur the lines between work and personal life; sometimes, you just want to get away from it all, but with these kinds of connections, that simply isn\'t possible.</p>\n<p>In fact, I know a teacher who I believe burned himself out with so many connections. He recently deleted Line cold-turkey, leaving everyone used to the constant interaction to wonder what happened. I\'m not surprised; keeping up with that many students 24/7 can easily lead to information/gossip/interaction overload.</p>\n<p>Still, even with all of these grey areas-and feel free to disagree - I think the social media connections have been more helpful than harmful, and I\'ll likely continue the practice with classes to come.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

It certainly is a viable option for many teachers here in Thailand.','<p>Looking at the last few <a href=\"/help-and-guides/cost-of-living\">cost of living reports</a> here on Ajarn.com, we can see that online teaching is the way forward for those looking to make a few extra Baht.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Working from home, choosing your own hours and rates means you control how much you work and importantly how much you make.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teachers here have a few hours spare in the evening or maybe a weekend day they want to use to make extra money. Of course you can go to your local language school and get 200-300 Baht an hour but why do that when you can stay home and potentially make over double?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai students love a last minute cancellation or just don\'t show up. With online platforms you have the guarantee that you will be paid if students no show and cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How does it work?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are many platforms for online teaching who can offer you a steady stream of students (for a 15% commission of any class taken). There are also companies who pay you a set rate per class but you often have to work for less.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Classes are normally done via Skype and last for an hour.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your students could be from anywhere in the world which means you will get more variety and talk about new topics which you wouldn\'t normally discuss with your Thai students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Payment is made via PayPal in USD which can be sent to your home bank or Thai bank.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How much does it pay?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>At first it is difficult to get new students so a lower rate will encourage them to book.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can normally charge around $12 an hour (c. 415THB) but after a few reviews you can bump that up to around $18 (c. 620THB).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teachers offering exam prep and other specialist courses charge around $25 (c. 860THB) which is good money compared to language school offerings in Thailand. When you also consider you have zero transport costs then you are on to a winner.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What do I need to do?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So it sounds easy but there are a few things to consider.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You must have great internet. This is a big thing - crappy shared internet in apartment blocks probably won\'t cut it. If you can\'t offer smooth Skype calls then you will get bad reviews and no students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also you need to have a quiet environment - you shouldn\'t need to shout above your neighbors to be heard. So if you live in a decent condo or house and have private internet then online teaching is something to look into. You will need to invest in a good headset (500-1000 Baht) and then you are good to go!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Is teaching face to face better?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m sure there are some of you who have reliable students you teach in person for over 500 Baht an hour and if it works for you that\'s great.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m sure it took effort on your part to get that student and for many people it\'s too much hard work to find these students. A quick look on craigslist shows that many teachers offer private English classes at around 300-400 Baht an hour. When you add on your travel time it is not worth it (in my opinion).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m sure many people moved to Thailand to teach as they wanted to escape sitting behind a computer all day so for some it might not be a desirable option.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally I suffer far fewer headaches and feel my eyes are less stressed as I avoid using the computer as much as I did when in England. Working a full time online job could mean over 30 hours a week on Skype which is too much for me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have some free time and want to top up your income, then look into online teaching. It certainly is a viable option for many teachers here in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might be interested in....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-online-english-teacher\">The online English teacher - Teachers can now find students all over the world - without leaving home</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/system/The%20online%20English%20teacher%20(part%20two)%20What%20to%20teach%20and%20how%20to%20find%20students\">The online English teacher (part two) - What to teach and how to find students</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I researched many homestays in several countries before trying the Peetim Homestay in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Unlike other homestays I researched, including a rather well known one in Bangkok, Peetim\'s Homestay is free and there is no jumping through the hoop. And since she can accommodate several volunteers at a time, there was no waiting in line.</p>\n<h3>What\'s it about?</h3>\n<p>Peetim\'s ESL Homestay offers volunteers lodging, food, laundry, transportation, and Thai culture in exchange for teaching English in her government and private schools.</p>\n<p>Peetim\'s homestay is in a village near Singburi, a small town about 2 hours north of Bangkok. Her compound is safe, clean, quiet, and breezy. There are several bedrooms, bathrooms, and classrooms - and so many refrigerators in so many spots, I lost track.</p>\n<p>The bedrooms and classrooms have AC. The classrooms have technology. Every room has reliable, fast wifi. There are not too many mosquitoes in the area and Peetim insists they don\'t carry diseases.</p>\n<h3>Fun in the kitchen</h3>\n<p>Peetim will teach you how to cook traditional Thai dishes. I taught Peetim how to cook an omelette American style. As many of you have discovered the hard way, a Thai omelette is actually deep fried sunny side up. Peetim caught the technique for American style omelette immediately from watching me and her first omelette was better than mine.</p>\n<p>She grows some of the best papaya and mangoes in Thailand and her neighbor grows absolutely the juiciest pineapples I\'ve ever put in my mouth. She sponsors trips to see such sites as monkeys in a temple and bats in a cave. Peetim\'s husband has a large mat for teaching muay thai boxing.</p>\n<p>Tesco is 10 minutes in one direction by car, 7-11 and the downtown supermarket are 10 minutes in the other direction by car (down the street from the bus station), a mini Big C is across the highway several minutes by bike, and several mom-n-pop stores are within walking distance.</p>\n<h3>The teaching</h3>\n<p>You can write your own lesson plans or Peetim can provide you with curriculum. Student skill level is pretty low, so plan to teach basic vocabulary and simple conversations. Pictures and videos are great. For the younger learners, use plenty of games and songs.</p>\n<p>Peetim oversees all the care for her volunteers, from travel to shopping to copying to meals to laundry.</p>\n<p>For one of my trips to Bangkok, she booked a van by phone the evening before and took me to van stop in her car early the next morning. For the return trip that afternoon, she sent a motorbike taxi to the van station. Her housekeeper doesn\'t speak English, but Peetim is fluent.</p>\n<h3>Volunteers</h3>\n<p>She can provide you with an invitation letter to get a volunteer visa for up to 3 months at 2700 baht. Many volunteers pay Peetim as much as several thousand baht per month.</p>\n<p>There are volunteers coming and going all the time. The day after I arrived, I went to the bus station to pick up a couple of volunteers from Los Angeles who had just finished a semester designing and teaching TOEIC courses at a university in Bangkok through a cultural exchange program. The next day, we met business majors from Canada, the UK, and Florida who were studying at a university in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>As we sat around the dinner table, we experiences and tips about working, touring, and surviving in Thailand. One of the Los Angeles volunteers shared about volunteering at a shelter for elephants rescued from the tourism industry.</p>\n<h3>Getting to Singburi</h3>\n<p>Singburi has no airport and no train station. There are 2 ways to get to Singburi, by bus and by van.</p>\n<p>The buses stop at the bus station downtown. The buses run about every 30 minutes from the Mo Chit bus terminal near the Mo Chit BTS station. Take a taxi from the BTS to the bus terminal. Tickets cost about 120 baht at window 38 or 39 (that window #38 or window #39 inside, not window #38 or window #39 outside). Board the bus on platform 127 or 128. The AC on the bus isn\'t very strong.</p>\n<p>The vans stop a few minutes from Peetim\'s house. The vans cost about the same as the buses but are a bit faster, depending on traffic. The AC is a lot better. The vans are a bit cramped. The vans run once an hour. The van station in Bangkok is a stone\'s throw from the BTS station between Victory Monument and Century Mall. Go to counter #12. Neither the vans nor the ticket windows have city names in English letters, so write the name of Singburi in Thai letters just to be safe.</p>\n<h3>Getting in touch</h3>\n<p>Peetim communicates through Facebook rather than by email. You can call her at 080779479.</p>\n<p>She has a very nice <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/peetimhomestay/\">Facebook community page</a>&nbsp;as well as a <a href=\"http://www.peetimhomestay.com\">dedicated website</a></p>\n<p>You can also watch a couple of Youtube vids - the first will give you a good idea of what the <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knV6NCxJA9Y\">homestay accommodation</a> is all about, and the second vid goes more into <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRyVHD3tRA0\">what kind of teaching you will be doing.</a></p>\n<p>If you\'re going to stay for a while and therefore have a lot of luggage, I recommend shipping most of it. I recommend using Kerry Logistics express mail service. They are all over Thailand and they are fast, reliable, and surprisingly cheap. I paid no more than 80 baht per box.

How it was all so different back then.','<p><em>\"If you don\'t like it, you know where the airport is\"</em></p>\n<p>Those famous words uttered on many an expat discussion forum or blog comment section when a relatively long-term expat dares make a negative observation or level a criticism towards this great country.</p>\n<p>It\'s an expression that always grinds my gears.</p>\n<p>I went through a long honeymoon period with Thailand myself - that period when everything in the garden is rosy. But eventually it becomes time to remove those spectacles of the rose-colored variety and face up to the reality.</p>\n<p>This is not me becoming a chronic moaner for the sheer hell of it but what happens over time is that your perception changes and I think it probably changes wherever you live in the world.</p>\n<h3>The reality</h3>\n<p>Do I enjoy living in Thailand as much as I did 25 years ago? Almost certainly no.</p>\n<p>Do I see myself living here forever? No idea.</p>\n<p>Would I move to another country, if and only if the right opportunity presented itself? Quite possibly.</p>\n<p>I was in the lower Sukhumwit Road area of Bangkok last week. I class &lsquo;lower Sukhumwit\' as that kilometer long stretch from about BTS Prompong Station to the railway tracks near Soi Nana (where Sukhumwit Road becomes Ploenchit Road I think)</p>\n<p>I hate that part of Bangkok. I loathe every square meter. The only reason I venture into that neighborhood is for a haircut and an appointment with Khun Nat, the young lady who has looked after my barnet for as long as I can remember. It\'s never for the pricey restaurants, the hipster coffee joints, the street-stalls, the tailors\' shops, the pool bars, the Brit theme pubs - or any of that crap!</p>\n<p>But I stood on Sukhumwit\'s congested footpath and allowed my mind to wander for a second or two. Back to the 15th September 1989 and my very first day in Thailand. How it was all so different back then.</p>\n<h3>What a city!</h3>\n<p>I arrived here with John, who had been one of my closest friends since secondary school. We\'d had a few travel adventures across Europe together but nothing like this. Thailand was as exotic as it got in the package tour 80s and we\'d been planning our first day in Bangkok for months. Our excitement and anticipation levels were off the scale.</p>\n<p>The plan was to check in to our hotel, attempt the walk from Sukhumwit 15 as far as Lumpini Park (and that\'s a hell of a walk by the way) then saunter through Lumpini Park, before ending up at Patpong on Silom Road and have lunch at what was then the only branch of McDonalds in the city.</p>\n<p>Yes, a couple of regular Bangkok greenhorns.</p>\n<p>After the longest flight in the world on Philippine Airlines (is it still in operation?) with short layovers in Frankfurt and Karachi, we arrived sleep-deprived and cream-crackered at the Manhattan Hotel on Sukhumwit 15 (is it still there?), dumped our suitcases in the room and hit the streets not wanting to waste a second of our trip.</p>\n<p>There are moments in life - certainly when it comes to travel - that you can never recapture. And I\'ll never forget that first afternoon walk in Bangkok. This was a far cry from a fortnight in Ibiza or The Greek Islands. There was just too much to take in.</p>\n<h3>Meeting the locals</h3>\n<p>We hadn\'t gone fifty meters before we made our first Thai friend. A man in a boy scout uniform greeted us enthusiastically and the three of us stood around laughing and talking football. It was brilliant. Even when he shoved a donation box in front of our faces, we still liked him.</p>\n<p>We carried on walking along the Sukhumwit Road as far as Soi Nana, passing all the pavement vendors on the way.</p>\n<p>\"Look at all these fake Lacoste polo shirts!\" exclaimed John</p>\n<p>\"Never mind those\" I said \"what about these Hugo Boss t-shirts?\"</p>\n<p>We went through the motions of doing some casual haggling with one or two of the friendly sellers but this wasn\'t the time to weigh ourselves down with new threads. We\'d be back later in the evening for some serious shopping.</p>\n<p>We got into conversation with several tailor\'s shop owners as well. \"Suit for you sir? Come inside my shop and have a beer. Looking no problem\"</p>\n<p>We couldn\'t get over how friendly everyone was. What a city! We were buzzing.</p>\n<h3>Feeling the heat</h3>\n<p>At the Ploenchit intersection, we started to flag. We expected it to be hot but we\'d never experienced temperatures like this.</p>\n<p>\"Bangkok is like one giant sauna\" my Lonely Planet guidebook said \"and walking for any distance on the city\'s broken footpaths is only for the foolhardy\"</p>\n<p>I think Joe Cummings had a point you know.</p>\n<p>I whipped out the fold-up tourist map that I\'d procured from the kindly receptionist back at the hotel. Looking at it, we were about half-way between our starting point and Lumpini Park.</p>\n<p>\"Come on mate. Let\'s get a tuk-tuk!\"</p>\n<p>This was a moment we\'d both looked forward to - the opportunity to zip around Bangkok on some three-wheeled buzz-saw. It doesn\'t get any better than that. John stuck his hand out and a tuk-tuk appeared as if by magic. We then spent forever trying to haggle the fare down from forty baht to twenty. Not because we needed to save an extra twenty baht but because we were in Asia. No one pays the asking price for anything here. It said so in the guidebooks.</p>\n<p>The driver dropped us off at the entrance to Lumpini Park and after we\'d taken the obligatory photos and given him some hearty backslaps (as if he\'d become our new best mate) we enjoyed a stroll through the park, smiling inanely at every passer-by.  And the prettier the passer-by, the wider the smile. What a couple of plonkers!</p>\n<h3>Patpong at last!</h3>\n<p>From there it was just a short walk down Silom Road to Patpong and Bangkok\'s legendary red light district.</p>\n<p>As any Bangkok old hand will tell you though, there are fewer sights more depressing than a mid-afternoon Patpong . Even when the sun\'s out and the sky\'s blue, the area still manages a greyness all of its own. Bars are closed, the neon lights are switched off and the only sounds are the revving of engines and the rattle of beer crates being delivered. But John and I were on too much of a high to start feeling downcast.</p>\n<p>A handful of shady touts and chancers still tried to lure us into an upstairs sex show for some afternoon tittilation but na&iuml;ve as we were, our instincts told us this was a bad idea. We had some friendly banter with them and said we\'d come back another time. I bet they\'d heard that line before.</p>\n<p>Moments later, we\'re sitting under the golden arches and munching on our Big Macs. We\'d had the most amazing few hours and we were sure things could only get better.</p>\n<p>To cut a long story short, John and I had the most amazing holiday. I hardly ate a thing during that first week in Bangkok and the weight dropped off me. I survived on pure adrenalin. That\'s the effect Thailand tends to have on the first-time visitor.</p>\n<p>Back to the present day, 26 years later and I\'m wondering where the magic has gone and how long did it even last?</p>\n<h3>The way things are</h3>\n<p>I lost touch with my old school friend many years ago but I still replay that first afternoon in my mind - but with the attitude I have now. The one I\'ve developed over time.</p>\n<p>For starters, the boy scout / charity collector\'s greeting would be met with a weary shake of the head.</p>\n<p>The walk along the footpath would become tiresome as I get caught behind slow-moving holidaymakers and I\'d be totally oblivious to the street vendors flogging what I now look down on as &lsquo;tourist tat\'</p>\n<p>It\'s not that I\'ve become a miserable middle-aged git. It\'s just that your perception changes.</p>\n<p>The Indian tailors\' shop touts are just another minor irritation in a whole series of minor irritations. Even a polite &lsquo;no thank you\' requires too much effort. Do I look like the sort of guy who wears a tuxedo for fuck\'s sake?</p>\n<p>The young, tattooed, half-naked girl that stands in the street and lures punters into her pool bar doesn\'t even try. I\'ve developed a facial expression that says &lsquo;please leave me alone\'.</p>\n<p>And as for tuk-tuks, I haven\'t ridden in one for over a decade. Is there a more noisy, dangerous, unhealthy and uncomfortable way to get from A to B? I\'ll leave them to the tourists and the big fat Thai ladies hauling their sacks of vegetables back from the market.</p>\n<p>Your perception changes - and yes, I do know where the airport is.</p>\n<p>I still enjoy living in Thailand but I enjoy it on my terms. I like pottering around in the garden, working out at the gym and studying the Thai language online. They\'re things I could do anywhere in the world I know. I just don\'t do the &lsquo;typically Thai\' stuff anymore. That novelty wore off long ago - as it does for many long-termers. It can happen anywhere, not just in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Times change</h3>\n<p>Next month, my Mother and Father will move back to England after sixteen by and large wonderful years in Spain. It just feels like the right thing to do in their twilight years. They\'ve sold the house and all the furniture that goes with it. All that remains are the goodbyes.</p>\n<p>So many of the attractions that lured them to The Mediterranean in the first place have diminished over time. Bureaucracy has become intolerable and the local services unreliable.  Spanish friends and neighbors have passed away. The winters have got colder and the summers unbearable.</p>\n<p>The days spent sitting around the swimming pool and the evening barbecues washed down with bottles of cheap Spanish plonk have all become distant memories.</p>\n<p>Their perception has changed.

It will break the boundaries of hesitation and uncertainty; confidence will flow on and on.\"','<p>Let me feature this month a friend of mine   Gumban Pandes who has beaten numerous odds in his life as an artist. He is an EFL teacher in Thailand but does painting during his spare time, an ideal role model for teachers.</p>\n<h3>Childhood talent</h3>\n<p>When Gumban was young he loved copying pictures from comics, magazines, and    calendars he liked. He would draw on old notebooks, coupon bonds, or some milk cartons without giving much value to them. His parents had no interest in whatever he did for they were too busy doing their own work on the farm.</p>\n<p>His four brothers and four sisters never bothered for they had their own interests too. As a result, he never got the chance to hone his talents with supervision. He plainly learned on his own by appreciating the paintings of his work education teacher, who painted the background of their stage during school programs.</p>\n<h3>Early successes and prizes</h3>\n<p>He did not have any formal training in art but he was able to bring his students to success not only in English but in art as well. Other than this, ordinary people appreciated the beauty of his paintings. Perhaps it was the reason why in 2011 he was featured on the ASEAN episode of an art show on PBS Channel 6, Thailand and had a successful exhibit with friends at the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok that year. <br /> <br />Back in the Philippines he bagged ($1000) in the National Christmas Tree Making Contest in the Philippines. On his first year in Thailand, his director assigned him to paint the school library to  prepare for the preliminary selection of the Best School in Thailand, small school category. The school became a finalist of the competition and the library became more conducive to students\' appreciation of literature.</p>\n<p>He also organized the 90-meter mural painting of the same school to beautify his school. He tapped young artists of the school from Grade 1 to Grade 6, parents, teachers, 21 volunteers from England and several students of International School of Bangkok which was done only in a day.</p>\n<p>In 2010 he won 1st Prize in the Christmas Lantern Contest sponsored by the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok. He never expected that he could go this far as an artist. He thought his talent would remain unused but he was wrong.</p>\n<p>In fact, the talent he failed to develop saved him from hunger when jobless in a foreign land. It gave him the opportunity to help orphans and special children in Thailand. More so, in 2014 he was able to inspire the Regional Director for Religious Studies in Asia and the Pacific of the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) to purchase and use his two paintings for a promotional poster and book cover of the international conference in Thailand that year.</p>\n<h3>Sought after paintings&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>Oh, so many Filipinos in Thailand even  foreign nationals  from  Italy, Turkey, Cuba, USA, and Thailand  bought Gumban\'s  paintings.  In addition to this an embassy driver, teachers, pastors, employees, lecturers, and resort hotel owner, were also awed by his work</p>\n<p>Sad to say, his talent experienced a drought from 1963 to 1967 He  only developed   it  during his Biology  class when he  drew  many parts of  things; in Geometry where they were made to submit a project showing different polygons; and  in Literature where he would not submit his   book reports  unless he made them beautiful.</p>\n<p>The significant change in his took place in college when he got recognition, from his art teacher, who retained almost all of his art projects for her students</p>\n<h3>A love affair</h3>\n<p>One time, he fell in love with a classmate in fourth year. He was madly in love with her but she never showed any sign of reciprocation. Oh, he  sent her letters almost every week. Unfortunately she never responded. When he graduated, she was still in his mind.  Gumban wrote to her and poured out all his emotions of endearment and love, but she was a stone. For 4 years, during birthdays, and all occasions he sent personalized cards for her...Well he didn\'t regret doing this for somehow it indirectly developed his art.</p>\n<p>When he began teaching, his talent was put to test.  His creativity, passion, resourcefulness and imagination surfaced. He made extra-ordinary teaching materials, decorated his classrooms as beautiful as a gallery, made thousand of cards, and took charge of decorating their stage on special occasions. Was he a good art coach?  Of course, he was.</p>\n<h3>Diversifying his artistic talent</h3>\n<p>His students won major prizes in coloring and painting locally and internationally. Well, he did not claim solely the honor, for it was more of the students\'.  To supplement his income in the Philippines , he made hundreds of Christmas cards and sold them outside St. Anthony Church in Manila and did consignments on  some small souvenir shops and bookstores in Ermita, Manila.</p>\n<p>One time he was invited as an art speaker to a  friend\'s school. This gave him an idea for a sideline. He offered his services to other schools and their principals hired him as a part timer. Meanwhile in his school, he was the Art Club adviser and his students brought a lot of honor to the school winning district, provincial, national, and international, competitions.</p>\n<p>While   working at ICMC Bataan in 1986 he sold handmade and painted Christmas cards. An art curator, Silver Chan, who was also working there as an ESL teacher was amazed by Gumban\'s   work such that he bought a dozen and encouraged him to enlarge his cards so he could join an Art exhibit. Silver\'s assistance opened the world of art for him.</p>\n<p>His first was followed by a second, and a third and a fourth. From 1992 to 2009,  Gumban  stopped painting but in 2010, when  he lost his teaching  job in Thailand,  he  put his brushes back   to work. It was a Herculean job to  invest on his talent  without a assurance of  return of investment  but he succeeded. Of course,  through God\'s love and   patronage of Filipino teachers and art lovers, the sales from the paintings met his day to day expenses for 3 months.</p>\n<p>Three years later he helped finance the gift giving of the ministry for orphans. As one of his friend\'s said \"Gumban lives in the world of art for a lot of people like his paintings, although at first he only painted for fun.\"</p>\n<p>\"Once a talent is used, it will grow and prosper. It will break the boundaries of hesitation and uncertainty; confidence will flow on and on.\"</p>','','2016-04-13 15:52:41',1,'2016-04-13 15:52:41','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30804,71,'Bangkok: Surprisingly good for shows','bangkok-surprisingly-good-for-shows','Local expats treading the boards','One of the most under-rated aspects of living in Bangkok, to me, is the availability of affordable live shows.','<p>One of the most under-rated aspects of living in Bangkok, to me, is the availability of affordable live shows.</p>\n<p>Those of you expats living \"in the sticks\" struggle to get the local cinema (which may be hours away) to see a film not dubbed-over in Thai (I well know your pain), but Bangkok has a surprisingly vibrant performing arts community. The problem is, it\'s not always easy to find out what\'s going on.</p>\n<h3>Pricey West End shows</h3>\n<p>One of my favourite things to do when visiting London or New York is to go see a West End or Broadway show, but these tickets will set you back a LOT; my last trip to London, I saw only two shows (Yes, Minister and Mamma Mia; don\'t judge me), and it set me back something like 200 GPB.</p>\n<p>Sure, Bangkok does have a Broadway/West End-quality show come to town from time to time, but you\'re going to pay the same price or more; did anyone see that psychedelic contemporary dance version of Alice in Wonderland at Thailand Cultural Center last year? Talk about expensive. And trippy.</p>\n<h3>Expats treading the boards</h3>\n<p>These \"hiso\" shows aside, Bangkok\'s local expat and enthusiastic Thai performer community manages to put on several shows a year as part of various productions. Keeping in mind that the majority of these shows cast working people in Bangkok that just want to have fun putting on a show, I\'ve been quite impressed with the shows I\'ve seen; most recently, I saw the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Bangkok-Community-Theatre-101955389892596/\">Bangkok Community Theatre\'s</a> rendition of the British classic Up Pompeii! (Frankie Howerd), and included in the 1,000 THB ticket price was a Hilton buffet dinner; you\'d easily spend that at the cinema on a Friday night, yet this was a live [risqu&eacute; and hilarious] show!</p>\n<p>I believe their next gig is May 14, an interactive dinner showing of the musical Grease (650 THB including buffet dinner and \"goody bag\"); nothing like getting your Olivia Newton-John on.</p>\n<p>Paula Vogel\'s How I Learned to Drive was recently put on by <a href=\"http://www.peelthelimelight.com/spark/\">Peel the Limelight Productions</a> in a little blackbox theatre near Asok recently (400 THB), and I was absolutely blown away with its impact; I\'m by no means a theatre critic, but for a [relatively] amateur production, it was fantastically moving. Hell, <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/ComedyClubBangkok/\">The Comedy Club Bangkok</a> even put on an improv-style Rocky Horror Picture Show not too long ago (400 THB), and it was just... well, awesome.</p>\n<h3>Finding out about shows</h3>\n<p>The problem is, it\'s often difficult to find out about these productions; as the expat community is constantly in flux, it\'s hard to keep up with who is promoting what, when, and where. I know there are Facebook groups for these kinds of things, but you have to be in the know or actively searching to even get that far. That, and I must be the only person left in Thailand that\'s not into Facebook. (Twitter is far more fun!) Mango Metro, BigChilli, and other expat publications will have information sometimes, but your best bet is to just ask around; I\'m sure there are shows I\'m missing.</p>\n<p>It\'s amazing to me that working people in and around Bangkok can make the time to put on these little productions, yet still be highly energetic in the process. Even if you aren\'t a theatre person, per se, these shows can be fun; everything I\'ve seen thus has been fairly sabai-sabai (chill), and... well, everything is more fun with a cash bar!</p>\n<p>I\'d highly recommend checking a show out.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

You will also have lower stress levels and enjoy talking about a range of topics with students who, on the whole, want to be there.','<p>When I was looking at TEFL qualifications the one that stood out above the rest was the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I completed my CELTA in Bangkok and then decided to find a job. Looking here on Ajarn.com in the jobs section I found most of the jobs to be at government high schools. Having just completed a course aimed at teaching adults I was a bit nervous about teaching kids but I jumped at the security of having a job and accepted a job at a government high school.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are some people who love kids and enjoy being around them - I\'m not one of those people. I don\'t hate kids but the problem is they drive me crazy after a little while. I was teaching M1-M6 grades (12-18 year olds) but was assured by my agency that the students would be well behaved and respectful towards me....</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest the students in M5 and M6 were fine. Maybe they didn\'t really want to learn English but they behaved and didn\'t cause too many problems. However, M1-M4 were a nightmare. Screaming, shouting and throwing stuff at me. The promised teacher\'s assistant never showed up to any classes and after a couple of months I was looking for a way out. That\'s when I saw the shining light of teaching adults at a language centre.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/richard-mccully/why-i-work-in-a-language-centre\">I\'ve already written about the reasons I chose to teach at a language school</a> so won\'t go into those details again. I would like to give more information about teaching Thai adults and why it might be a better option for you as a teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just to give you a bit of background my youngest students now are 16 and I would say the average age is mid to late 20\'s. So what makes Thai adults better to teach than Thai school students?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Attitude:</strong> I instantly found that 90% of my adult students really wanted to learn English. Admittedly some of them weren\'t learning for fun but they knew how important it was for their future. This means that when I teach a class I have people who want to be in the classroom and are motivated to learn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teaching M1 classes where 40 of the 45 students are running around screaming and leave the classroom is not fun. You can talk about classroom control but in my opinion unless you lock the classroom door and strap the students into their chairs you will be struggling to get much control over younger students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Teaching Topics :</strong> Teaching adults means you get to teach a wide range of topics and have actual discussions about these topics. My background is in business so I run many business themed classes and get to have interesting role plays and in depth discussion and analysis with my students. I can talk about pretty much any topic I want and am not held back by a school syllabus.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teaching classes M1 - M6 I was surprised to see that the teaching topics were the same for all levels. For example I would have to teach M6 about rooms in their house and how to use 3rd person - the same topics that M2 had. This just meant having to do the same class again and again and many students looking bored and frustrated.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Ability:</strong> There is a wide range of abilities when it comes to Thai adults speaking English. I have some students who could easily live in a Western country and communicate only in English. There are also other adult students who would struggle to do anything but say their name and where they are from. On the whole though I would say Most have a low - mid intermediate level and you can talk to them about a number of topics.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a high school class you will normally find a couple of students who can actually have a decent conversation with you but then the majority will only be able to tell you their name, a few swear words and sing the happy birthday song. The students are actively forced to focus on grammar and writing so their conversation level is very low. As a native teacher you are most likely employed to teach conversation but shyness and poor learning styles will limit the progress you can make with the students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Respect:</strong> When I was offered my job at a high school I was told by the agency that the students would be well behaved and respectful. As I said M5-6 were fine but the younger students caused so many problems. Ok, kids will be kids and I remember I wasn\'t the perfect student but I never threw stuff at my teacher or started fights in the classroom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every M1-3 class was a battle which I dreaded. It is quite funny to hear and see things the students do at first but after a while it will wear you down. I\'m not saying the all students act the same and in fact some were very well behaved but discipline is far worse than I remember in my school in the UK.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With adults I am sure there are times when they maybe don\'t enjoy my class or don\'t find it interesting but you never get the same reaction as you would from a child. I never dread teaching a class based on the behavior and actions towards me from an adult class. Adult students appreciate your input and will thank you for your class and give feedback.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Progress:</strong> High school students learn a lot of grammar and if you give them a written test I\'m sure many of them will do ok. If you speak to them it will be another matter. With 5+ years of English classes it is hard argue that they are making good progress. 50 students in a class means that there isn\'t much opportunity for them to practice and progress is difficult for them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next we have the issue that no student is allowed to fail so you have to pass even the worst student who can\'t do anything - there is no motivation for them to even try to progress.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With adults you will be teaching smaller classes. My average class size is 3 people so they get ample time to practice and progress. Within a month you can see people have learnt new skills and are confident to use them in the classroom and in real life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hearing about students who have got a promotion because of their improved English or have been accepted to study a Master\'s degree in the UK is really rewarding and a clear sign that you have made a difference for them. You can also give adults feedback and tell them how to improve - you don\'t need to always tell them everything is perfect.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Class Atmosphere:</strong> The first week I taught in a Thai high school I had a great time. It was refreshing to see children laughing and keen to talk to me as the new teacher at the school. Playing games and meeting new students was great and left me thinking that I would have class after class of fun, interested students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, after the first couple of weeks I got to see how students have been molded by Thai teachers into a bunch of copiers who wait for you to talk and make notes. It led to some quiet classes and it was difficult to get a good atmosphere after that first week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With adults I do have a few \"copiers\" who are waiting for you to tell them things but there are many more students who are willing to question what I say, give their opinions and ask questions to each other. It is refreshing to have a class which is interactive and positive. These people want to study English and try to make the most of it rather than just sit through a class because it is on their timetable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If anyone was coming to Thailand to teach I would recommend they teach adults as it will be a much more rewarding experience for them. You will also have lower stress levels and enjoy talking about a range of topics with students who, on the whole, want to be there.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

(It\'s April and everyone who is hiring is either on holiday, doing summer school, or binge-watching \'Thailand\'s Got Talent!\')</p>\n<p>Naturally, one of the questions that you asked in the interview was \"When should I expect to hear from you?\", right? In this era of agencies who do all the dirty work, it\'s nice to know that there are schools that actually do hire directly.</p>\n<p>Of course, the variables to this open-ended question are endless... but it\'s still worth going over a few scenarios.</p>\n<p>I\'m guessing that the person who asked the question is applying to a government school or a lower tier private school. Later, we\'ll get into some of the more different options there are for teachers looking for work.</p>\n<p>You\'ve done the interview and you think you\'ve done well... but it\'s been a couple of days and you haven\'t heard back: Is it you? Did you do something wrong? A yellow tie on a Thursday? Scuff-marks on your sandals?</p>\n<p>Well, if you\'re asking this question, then it\'s almost certainly NOT you.</p>\n<p>So, what could it be, then?</p>\n<h3>First off... timing.</h3>\n<p>Schools like to let it be known that they are hiring almost as soon as the old year has finished. (Around March.)&nbsp;The thing is, they\'re all in \'vacation mode\' and with Songkran and the summer break... well, despite there being vacancies for the upcoming academic year, there\'s nobody to follow up on all the applications.</p>\n<p>If you really want this job, then show up again on the day the school year starts (May) and let them know you\'re still available. Yeah, the office will be full of parents and the staff won\'t seem to have much time for you... but actually, if you\'re willing to sit around and wait, they\'ll eventually notice you and beg you to start right away.</p>\n<p>And - incredibly - hiring farangs isn\'t on the top of the list of things to do when school starts again. There\'s stuff like handing out the new text books, catching up on the gossip and unblocking the urinals!</p>\n<p>Applying for full-time work at any other time of year, the reasons could be varied:</p>\n<p>Maybe they aren\'t hiring.<br />Maybe they are hiring but they are just crap at it. (More likely!)<br />But I reckon if you haven\'t heard back within three days then either contact them again or move on.</p>\n<p>When the school year is in full flow (June thru February) there\'s no excuse for them not to have contacted you unless they have either filled the vacancy or you made a pass at the office girl during your demo lesson.</p>\n<p><strong>My rule of thumb is that they do want me to work there... but they just might not know it yet.</strong></p>\n<p>The higher up the food chain you go (as far as Thai schools are concerned) the more (marginally) better organized they are. You should know within a working week if they are interested in you. It doesn\'t hurt to ask for a business card from the person who interviewed you or at least some other way of getting in touch with them.</p>\n<p>If you\'re applying for work at a language school, you\'ll get hired on the spot or at most within a couple of days.&nbsp;If you haven\'t heard back from them by then, then it\'s that massive, hideous growth on your face or you whipped out your privates during the interview, in lieu of a CV!</p>\n<p>That\'s not a knock at language schools. I love them. They are great places to work in certain circumstances. (More on that in another essay.)&nbsp;I got taken on at one of these places within 24 hours and spent over a year there. Brilliant experience, it was.</p>\n<p>If you\'re applying for corporate work then expect to wait weeks or even months to get a call. Sure, by that time you\'ll already have found other work, but that\'s how this area of \'education\' works.</p>\n<p>It takes months for corporate employers to hammer out contracts, then find willing teachers who live nearby the client and then finally get around to hiring the staff.&nbsp;(One of the best jobs I have ever had was as a result of me being fortuitously located near the client. I was the absolute last person on the list to be offered the job but nobody else would do it because it was just too far away from the center of Bangkok.)</p>\n<p>So, there\'s no good answer to this question, really.

It\'s what most foreigners do. There are tales told of expats that have been living on khao pat gai (washed down with large bottles of beer) for ten years or more.</p>\n<p>Khao pat gai is the last bastion of the unadventurous Thai foodie. It\'s what you order when your pathetic attempts at pronouncing other Thai dishes draw nothing but blank stares and quizzical looks from a terrified waitress. It\'s that glorious dish that you can always rely on - \"Oh fuck it, I\'ll have a khao pat gai\"</p>\n<p>In short, khao man gai is the egg and chips of the Thai culinary world.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never eaten an amazing khao pat gai and I\'ve never eaten a bad one either. When it comes to being consistently consistent, the dish is in a league of its own. It\'s like a McDonalds cheeseburger meal - the attraction is that you know exactly what you\'re in for, even if you\'re not really in the mood to eat it.</p>\n<p>And you can be at a roadside shack in the middle of a remote northern province on a dry, dusty road to nowhere - when the menu is leaning towards fermented intestines and things with eight legs still swimming in a dirty glass tank, the cook will always know how to whip up a chicken fried rice.</p>\n<h3>A life-saver</h3>\n<p>How many times have I been out for dinner with a group of Thai friends and that enormous bowl of khao pat gai has saved the day? You of course have done the honorable thing of taking a back seat and letting the Thais take charge of ordering the grub, only to then see the waitresses bring a succession of dishes that you couldn\'t possibly eat in a thousand years. And then just as you\'re contemplating feigning a heart attack as an exit strategy, it arrives in a bowl the size of a fucking paddling pool. Freshly cooked and piping hot, there\'s enough khao pat gai in that bowl to feed an army: certainly enough to get a hungry but picky farang through the evening. Listen, you lot can poke away at that cremated fish all night long but the khao pat gai is mine! Now if only that plastic serving spoon was bigger.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Another reason this fine dish should be celebrated is that it acts as its very own menu pricing yardstick. Very seldom do you sit down and peruse a restaurant menu where khao pat gai is not the cheapest item on show.</p>\n<p>My general rule of thumb is that anything below a hundred baht for a khao pat gai is acceptable but if we\'re talking about 125 baht or more, then that\'s just the restaurant owner playing silly buggers. You\'d be wise to make a show of patting your back pocket, telling the waitress you need to go to the cashpoint machine - and never return. In fact, never even walk past the restaurant again. Ever.</p>\n<p>I\'ve occasionally heard stories of foreigners who have torn up the rule book: foreigners who haven\'t stuck to the path and who have strayed on to the moors. Not content with being able to order a khao pat gai and being satisfied when the correct dish is set before them, they\'ve gone over to the dark side and ordered a &lsquo;khao pat something else\'.</p>\n<p>Has life taught you nothing?</p>\n<p>Listen to your Uncle Mickey\'s advice. Why make things difficult? The &lsquo;boo\' in khao pat boo (crab fried rice) and the &lsquo;moo\' in khao pat moo (pork fried rice) are basically indistinguishable to your average Thai waitress - especially when <em>you</em> say it. And if you ever feel the need to strike out and go for the khao pat gung (prawn fried rice) - don\'t. I\'ve learned from experience that you\'ll get three animals at best.</p>\n<p>As for khao pat Hong Kong, let\'s not even go there.</p>\n<h3>Do-it-yourself</h3>\n<p>Now call me a sentimental old fool but I\'ve recently taken to making my own fried rice dishes at home. Chicken fried rice of course. I\'m not Raymond Blanc or some bloody Masterchef finalist.</p>\n<p>The advantages of making your own version of this incredible dish is that you can pimp it up to your heart\'s content. You can add obscene quantities of chicken meat and use up all those leftover veggies that are threatening to go furry at the bottom of the salad crisper.</p>\n<p>Sometimes - and don\'t mention this to Gordon Ramsay will you? - I might even spoon in a dollop of tomato sauce to give the rice a sort of orangey glow. Oh, what a time to be alive.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I\'m writing this piece in an unfamiliar restaurant. The waitress looks like she\'s never seen a foreign customer in her life.

I don\'t work for any Thai bank. I don\'t receive any kind of benefit; direct or indirect, implied or not from any Thai bank or this site. These are my own personal experiences; yours may be similar or not.</p>\n<h3>About me</h3>\n<p>Some background on me. I am a single (unmarried with no dependent children) American and have been in Thailand now for about four years and have been working at my university for just over three years on a yearly renewable 12-month contract.</p>\n<p>My monthly base salary is easily more than B50,000 but slightly less than B100,000 and is directly paid into my bank account.  I do earn some extra income by doing special assignment work, but that is not consistent.</p>\n<p>I have paid Thai income taxes and have tax clearance letters from the Revenue Department. Naturally, I hold a valid work permit for this work. I rent a condo in Bangkok from a (private citizen) Thai national on a renewable yearly lease.</p>\n<p>I don\'t maintain an overly large savings account balance at my local Thai bank as I remit the bulk of any saved funds back to the US for ongoing investment purposes. I don\'t maintain any substantial investments or other assets in the Kingdom.</p>\n<p><strong>Ok let\'s move on.</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>I\'ll start with some Q&amp;A\'s that I was asked by fellow foreign teachers on this matter.  Then review the process I went thru.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Can a foreigner - an English teacher - get a true unsecured credit card from a Thai bank? </strong></p>\n<p>A: Absolutely yes!   However, like many things in Thailand, there can be a lot of \"maybe\" between the &lsquo;yes\' and reality.  It will require some time, planning and preparation work on your part to do so.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Why do you want a Thai credit card and all the hassles that applying for one comes with? </strong></p>\n<p>A:  Everyone has to make this decision for on their own. For me, there were two compelling reasons. First, there are some decent promotions like for dining and entertainment that are only available to Thai-issued cards; not foreign Visa/MC cards.</p>\n<p>Second, as my goal is to remain in the Kingdom on a long(er) term basis, getting a credit card will either start or strengthen my credit report/file as maintained by the NCB which will only be an asset in the future.  Remember though, you still have to manage the account and payments and just as it is with most of our &lsquo;home\' countries, failing to pay bills timely can, and usually will come with consequences.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: What income do you need to have?</strong></p>\n<p>A: Ahh, one of the magical numbers. My experience was that B50,000 per month, was the bare minimum for any card. Yes, for a Thai, the minimum was commonly around B15,000.</p>\n<p>Your math is correct; the foreigner must have an income that is more than 300% higher than a Thai.   Fair?  I\'ll talk about that later on.  I will say this, remember that minimums are bank-specific, and not set by Thai law, so they\'ll vary from bank to bank.  It is my experience that if you are not making B50,000 at minimum (and that\'s on-the-books income via a work permit-based job) that your odds are not all that good.</p>\n<p>A few words on this \"income\" part.  My experience was that the income you need to meet their minimum, must have come from a/the job in your work permit(s) and/or that income had to be shown in your bankbook- and with the correct &lsquo;salary\' deposit code not just a regular cash deposit (if your bank uses such).  I did ask several banks what if you had an informal second job (one where you didn\'t have a work permit for and/or were paid in cash) and was told by more than one bank that it wouldn\'t be accepted as means to meet their minimum income threshold.</p>\n<p>They did say that it might be used to establish a higher credit limit, but only if I met the minimum income via income that came from a work permit based job and salary that was \"on the books\" as in shown in my bank book.  Lastly, two of the four banks looked closely that my salary deposit was entered into my bank book using the \"SAL\" salary code. For Bangkok Bank (I assume others are the same) there is a specific code for deposits that are for salary purposes only and/or come from legitimate employment situations, as opposed to all other cash-type deposits which are coded differently.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Does it really matter what bank I choose to apply at or the specific branch of that bank?</strong></p>\n<p>A: YES it does, and possibly yes it does.  As one might expect, each bank had slightly different criteria (which is proprietary and therefore won\'t disclose to you nor are they required to disclose to you) for what a successful applicant had to present or have. All the banks naturally list minimum paperwork needed, plus minimum income levels; however, this does not mean that approval is guaranteed. So, one bank may have &lsquo;easier\' criteria than another bank - the hard part is that the banks credit card department won\'t directly tell you what it is.   Remember all banks will periodically adjust up or down their lending criteria as overall economic conditions change, the banks performance/risk tolerance changes and/or their outlook for their credit card lending operations.  Timing when you apply can impact your chances, but this isn\'t largely a day-to-day metric, but a longer term issue banks review.</p>\n<p>As far as the specific branch of the bank goes; my experience and casual questioning is that YES, some branches (and even employees) may be &lsquo;easier\'.   However, there is a caveat, remember that the actual approval does not happen at the branch, or even by a branch manager.  Approval comes from the credit department - usually at the head office.  Now, sure, a branch manager or other employee may have some \"pull\" or clout.  The manager may have a title or have substantial seniority with the bank and may be able to pick-up the phone and get you approved, but the end, as far I can tell, branch level people cannot actually and formally say approved or not.</p>\n<p>That said, I think it is always wise to apply at a branch where the branch or employee has some vested positive interest (financially or not) in your application.  This person may make positive notes on the paper application, make email comments to the credit department, or call the credit department on your behalf.  So, common sense says, go somewhere where they seem to want you to get the card.  I walked into a smaller branch of one bank and got the immediate &lsquo;feel\' that the employee either didn\'t care if I was approved or didn\'t want to &lsquo;deal with\' a foreigner. I quickly and politely reclaimed all my documents, the partly completed (unsigned) application, and left.</p>\n<p>I have heard from employees at three of the four banks I applied at, that as a part of the overall branch assessment, the number of credit card applications that are collected is something that is measured. So, if you have a good relationship at your bank, I\'d most definitely start there as they may have some motivation to go the extra mile for you and your application.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: What about the need for a work permit?</strong></p>\n<p>A:  Ahhhh. One of the other \"minimums\".  Is it really a requirement?  From my experience, YES. All four banks I went to said a valid work permit was a \"must-have\" item.  I did ask all four banks, \"What if I didn\'t have one?\"  All four said the same thing. No work permit, no card, no way. Full stop.   (note: I did NOT ask about a secured card, and I clearly told them I was only interested in a true unsecured card)</p>\n<p>Also, two of four banks required that I had held my permit for TWO full years and that is must be from the same job/same permit.  Three banks required that the permit be valid for at least two months after the date of application (assume it was so that the permit wouldn\'t expire while my application was in-process) and one required it to be valid for six months after date of application.  Point here; don\'t apply just before it expires. The earlier you apply the better. Again, timing here matters.</p>\n<p>[Note: I am not a retiree and make no judgement as to retirees\' finances, financial stability or creditworthiness and my article today is limited in scope to just those who are working or are under the retirement age based on current Thai rules. I cede that how banks view and process retirees can be different from those who are of working/non-retirement age.]</p>\n<p><strong>Q: What about proof of residence?</strong></p>\n<p>A: Surprising to me, this seemed to be a non-issue.  None of the banks required any formal documentation as to my place of residence.  What did I use?  As stated earlier, I rent a condo from a private citizen (the condo owner) on a yearly written lease.  So, I had a copy of the lease, signed by both of us, plus a copy of the owners ID card and blue book.  Did the banks care?  From what I could see, the impact was nominal.  Yes, they looked at it. Yes, they made some notes, but from what I could see, having that much paperwork to prove my residence was not necessary.</p>\n<p>Do I think this is good to have?  I do.  I\'ll explain why at the end. Think \"credit story\"</p>\n<p><strong>Q: How did you prove your income?</strong></p>\n<p>A: The banks will all require a copy of your bank book. Also, you\'ll need to have some kind of original salary slip or something in print from your employer that shows your actual pay and dates.  Here\'s what I did. I asked my department (first asking the department head for permission) to write a customized letter to the bank by name, on original university letterhead, stamped and signed that clearly stated; a) my monthly gross salary, b) the actual dates that I received my salary for the past six months, c) my job title, d) my start date, e) the name, branch name and full account number where my salary is deposited.</p>\n<p>his of course should match - perfectly - with the dates and amounts printed in my bankbook and match the dates and information printed in my work permit.  All four banks took some time to closely check this data for accuracy and match the information on the letter to the work permit and bank book.</p>\n<p>This item is a really important one - be sure you\'ve got it - and that\'s it is accurate and clear.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: What else did you provide?</strong></p>\n<p>A: I\'ll list everything I provided. However remember that this list is more than what all banks asked for.<br />1)	Passport.  Copy of all of my past extensions, plus the current extension and last entry stamp.<br />2)	Work permit. Copy of every page that has any marks or writing.<br />3)	Bank book. Copy of the first/data page, plus all pages sequentially going back at least six months.<br />4)	Salary Slip. Original letter from the university, on letterhead, stating salary, payment dates, job title and time/length of tenure. Plus specific name and contact number of someone who can verify this information.<br />5)	Contract. Copy of my prior and current employment contract. <br />6)	Tax clearance letter.  From Revenue department which states my income as reported and tax paid (or refunded) for the tax year.<br />7)	Condo lease. Original letter from my landlord stating rental terms, plus a copy of the last two years contracts, plus a copy of his ID card and house book.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: It is helpful, or not, to give the bank more information than they require?</strong></p>\n<p>A: Hard to say for sure. But here is my take on it. The onus to \"prove\" credit worthiness falls on you; not the bank. The bank only sets minimums, not maximums.  Therefore, in my opinion, anything that I can provide that improves the perception of my creditworthiness will at minimum be positive, not negative.</p>\n<p>Yes, a few banks that did not explicitly require a copy of my contract or residence information, simply passed those documents back to me and didn\'t include them with the larger application packet that was eventually sent to the credit card department for processing, but most gladly accepted them.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Did the bank verify your documents?</strong></p>\n<p>A: YES.  First, let me say this upfront. I am wholly in favor of doing everything you can to improve your odds of approval, however, I don\'t advocate (in any way, shape or form) lying, falsifying or presenting information (in print or otherwise) that you know is materially false or materially misleading. All the banks verified my employment (dates, job title, pay rate, pay dates and work permit) either by a phone call or fax, to my employer. Two of them actually faxed a copy of the salary verification letter that I had presented to the bank, and asked my employer to certify that it was a genuine letter and that all the information was correct.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Do you have to have an account (savings/current or otherwise) with the bank to get a credit card?</strong></p>\n<p>A: No.  Based on the four banks I applied to, none of them stated having a deposit account as a prerequisite for an unsecured credit card.  Now, do I think it helps?  I absolutely do, again, I come back to the notion that you\'re making a \"credit story\" for the bank to approve you - and having an established track record with them I would think would only be a help.  However, since it appears that no bank makes this a mandate, I think that whatever help it may provide, will be minimal at best.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: So what\'s the actual process?  How did you do it?</strong></p>\n<p>A:  Most all banks will accept applications; 1) in-person at a branch office, 2) by post mail, and/or 3) via their website/online (with follow-up mailing of required documents).  I chose only option number one - in person.  I did this because my experience has been (unfortunately) that if something is not right or correct, some front-line staff may choose to simply not \"deal\" with it (for any number of reasons), and that would end up being a denial, versus taking the time, effort and possible hassle, of calling you - a foreigner - to get it fixed.  This is not a condemnation of Thai staff, but just a simple realization that I want my application to be \"adjudication-ready\" the first time.</p>\n<h3>Here\'s the step-by-step that I took:</h3>\n<p>1) Prepare: I made four complete sets of all the paperwork I needed, plus optional paperwork (like the copies of my contract) that I planned to give as well.  I also drafted a short cover letter which outlined the papers I was presenting, and making a short paragraph-long \"credit story\" case for why I should be approved.</p>\n<p>2) Review:  I looked over every single piece of paper, every copy, every line.</p>\n<p>I walked into each bank, with a freshly pressed suit and tie, took a number for new accounts or credit applications and took a seat to wait. I was helped by a banker, and not a traditional teller employee.</p>\n<p>(Note: As is customary here, I\'d suggest you &lsquo;dress to impress\'. While there was no box on the application marked \"was the applicant dressed neatly?\" as most know, outcomes of interactions can be influenced by dress/appearance - so wear something business like!)</p>\n<p>Each bank did about the same thing.  I presented my documents to the banker. S/he would review them - painstakingly so - and made sure I had all the necessary documents, they were originals when needed, signed, dated, stamped, covered the right time period, etc.  The banker checked the information on my salary against the name and job in the work permit.  They checked to the dates and amount of my salary against the entries in my bank book.</p>\n<p>After the review (which lasted a solid 10 to 15 minutes with me just sitting there) the banker pulled out a credit application and filled in the necessary information based on the documents I presented.  Applications at three of the four banks were all in Thai, only one was in English.  After the banker was done, I was asked to sign in about five to seven places.  The banker counter-signed as witness.</p>\n<p>Warning-be sure ALL your documents are correct to 100%. If it says six months of paperwork, don\'t give them five months and 29 days; they\'ll reject that. If it says an original, don\'t come with a color copy; they\'ll reject that.  Be sure you sign (preferably in the presence of the bank officer) EVERY place where it\'s required-that will be about five to seven times (assuming you are not applying joint with spouse or applying for a second/additional card holder)<br />Bring your original passport, original bankbook, original work permit.. They will usually ask to see it and compare that to the copies.  If you can bring originals of other papers, do so - banks appear to love originals and verifying originals.</p>\n<p>Once you\'ve signed, turned over all your paperwork, you just need to wait.</p>\n<p>Don\'t be surprised if the bank calls you. Several of the banks did call me on my mobile phone to \"confirm\" some information:</p>\n<p>a)	Where do you live?	<br />b)	What is your national tax ID number?<br />c)	What is the address/full name of your employer?<br />I personally find it a bit odd.  All the banks that did call me, were calling about information that they already had on my application itself or one of the original documents I submitted.  My suggestion is to be sure your verbal answers match 100% to what is stated on the paper application or originals.</p>\n<p>Another warning. All the banks did verify my employment status, salary amount and dates.  Three banks required my employer to either send a letter (via fax or postal mail) confirming the details of my salary slip or sign a fax that was sent to them; only one accepted a verbal confirmation.  So, my suggestion is to alert your employer or staff member(s) who would answer your office phone or be empowered to answer these kinds of calls/faxes/letters/inquiries that you are applying for credit.  I suspect that ANY deviation in answers would lead to a denial.</p>\n<p>Waiting..  Trust me, you\'ll wait..</p>\n<p>From the date I walked into the branch office, to the date I was told (usually by a SMS or phone call) that I was approved was no sooner than 19 calendar days to as long as 37 calendar days!  Once approval was communicated to me, cards physically arrived at my condo in about 5 days thereafter by registered mail.</p>\n<h3>A few comments..</h3>\n<p>Remember that a credit card (again, I am referring to a traditional credit card, not a secured card) really is a personal loan by the bank, and is wholly unsecured.  Unlike a house loan or car loan, there really is no asset that the bank can quickly and realistically \"seize\" that will meaningfully cover their losses if you default.  Yes, some applicants may have assets like a condo or car in their name which may be something the bank may be able to target in a legal/default action, but the process that bank would need to follow to actually get legal custody of that asset is not an overnight or cheap process.</p>\n<p>Banks know that as a foreigner, the (ugly) truth is that, unlike a Thai national, it is far easier for you to simply default on your accounts and permanently leave the country.  Yes, the bank can still pursue legal options against you - in Thailand - in your absence.  In the end, once you leave the Kingdom, the reality is that the banks chances of any meaningful financial recovery from you are very small.  Yes, a Thai can also default on their account, but unlike a foreigner, they are less likely to permanently leave the country expressly as a means of avoiding repayment, therefore by remaining in the Kingdom they would still be \"contactable\" for legal proceedings and any judgements levied against them.</p>\n<p>As a foreigner you have less mobility in terms of jobs. A Thai can largely move from job to job as they please and do so with minimal paperwork/permits needed.  By contrast, a foreigner would commonly need a whole new work permit, (possibly) a new visa and some jobs are statutorily excluded to foreigners.  Banks do however recognize that as a rule, foreigners who apply for a credit card tend to earn higher salaries than a typical Thai who also applies.  Yes, every case is different, but the impression I got was that the large disparity in minimum income levels was a means to offset these kinds of risks.</p>\n<p>Referring to teachers explicitly, the banks are aware that many foreign national teachers must have a license - TCT/Krusapah issues - and this can be \"problematic\" and that not all teachers who apply today will be able to maintain the requisite licenses/permits indefinitely into the future. For the banks, this translates into another aspect of non-national applicant credit risk.</p>\n<p>The overall message I got was that like all applications, you are essentially making a \"case\" for an unsecured loan. I did ask if it was ok, helpful, unhelpful or neutral to provide more documents than the bank\'s minimum paperwork that might show you to be credit worthy?  The answer was that it depending on the banks policy, it would, at minimum be neutral, to at best be positive. However, I did also get a fair warning that banks are aware of and do look for fakes, forgeries and other less-than-honest applicants.</p>\n<p>Your application will pass thru about three to five people or steps.  The first is a document checker (which if done correctly at the branch level, should be a non-issue). If all the documents are correct in every detail, then it goes to processing. If ANYTHING is wrong, even in the minutia, expect a phone call at minimum to fix it, or more likely, an outright rejection.</p>\n<p>Step two is where the credit report authorization is requested and received.  After the credit report is received, it goes to the third step, the credit analyst.  Here is where you get a &lsquo;yes\' or &lsquo;no\'. If it\'s yes, they usually also indicate the credit limit you\'ll start with.  After this person, it\'s usually checked by someone senior who reviews the analysts ruling and overall application for completeness.  Here is where a &lsquo;no\' might be turned into a &lsquo;yes\' if you\'ve made a good story.  On most of the applications you can see some boxes where these people must &lsquo;sign-off\' when their roles are completed.</p>\n<p>A few words about credit reports. They are becoming more common, and all the banks I used required I consent to having my credit file (with the NCB, the Kingdom\'s only national credit reporting entity) sent to them.  If you have one, I\'d be 100% sure that it\'s accurate.  If it\'s not, get it fixed before you apply - not after.  I suspect that a \"bad\" or adverse report is an instant no-go situation.</p>\n<p>Also, as best as I can tell, a Thai credit report does not factor how many times or places you have applied for credit in the past.  This is different than how the US operates. In the US, your credit score commonly gets reduced a few points each time a creditor formally \"pulls\" your report due to a credit application.  That does not seem to be the case presently in Thailand.  Therefore, there does not seem to be any real downside to applying to more than one bank at a time or sequentially.</p>\n<p>Lastly what would I do IF I didn\'t meet the banks minimum salary levels? Here\'s my opinion.  Since granting credit or not is purely an internal and subjective decision on the part of the bank, I\'d say that IF you are close and can make a bona fide \"credit story\", then I\'d go for it!    There is no application fee (meaning to just apply) and there is no rule about how often you can apply or must wait if you\'re denied earlier.  Therefore, aside from your time and some incidental costs to make copies, it doesn\'t cost you a whole lot to apply.</p>\n<p>This is where my term \"credit story\" comes into play.  If you can make a convincing credit story - via documents you can present; and can be verified (as you won\'t be able to personally appear at the credit card approval department) - then I\'d do it!  However, I also think you need to be honest with yourself and assess your case against what the bank posts as their stated minimums and other qualifying factors.</p>\n<p>Am I happy I did it?  Yes. I use many of the promotions that come with the cards and having a Thai-issued credit card gives me one more financial tool that I didn\'t have before.</p>\n<p>However, as I noted at the beginning, it is something that you will need to manage and budget properly (interest, if you carry a balance, is not cheap) and any misuse/mismanagement can potentially cause problems in the future.  As the use of a credit report is becoming more and more common, I\'d want to be sure I protect my score.</p>\n<p>Best of luck to those who want to try. It <em>can</em> be done.</p>\n<p>Note:  This is just my opinion and my experiences.

Someplace off the beaten tourist path where I could explore and not just follow another leg of the \'banana pancake road\'.','<p>Let\'s face it. Most expats aren\'t teaching English in Asia because we feel a calling.</p>\n<h3>A travel opportunity</h3>\n<p>We don\'t feel some pull towards spreading our wonderful, beautiful language to the rest of the world with any kind of missionary zeal. We\'re not here because we love our jobs or our profession. Of course, many of us do love our profession, or at least like it. Some of us take it very seriously and make a career out of it, dedicating ourselves to professional development and participating in the broader ESL discussion. That said, I\'ve yet to meet an English teacher abroad who\'s said, \"I\'m here because I\'ve always wanted to teach English.\"</p>\n<p>Now, I have heard teachers say that they\'re here because they\'ve always wanted to work in such-and-such place. More often than not, it\'s not because we want to TEACH in Asia; instead, we want to teach in ASIA. Why? Well, lots of reasons, but today I want to talk about one in particular: the opportunity for travel.</p>\n<p>Thailand, specifically, is a hub, within a short flight of all kinds of fascinating places. The charming mess of India. The colorful chaos of China. The warmth and humor of the Philippines. The cultural antiquities of Cambodia. This is just to name a few.</p>\n<h3>So where to go?</h3>\n<p>I\'ve had the good fortune of having been able to visit many of these places over the last few years (I\'m next door in Myanmar), and as I recently contemplated where to spend my month off for the water festival, I wanted to go someplace different. Someplace off the beaten tourist path where I could explore and not just follow another leg of the \'banana pancake road\'.</p>\n<p>I decided on what I hoped might be a Shangri La. I feared it might just be a complete dump. It was hard to anticipate what to expect because there\'s little to no information online about tourism in this region. Just across the South China Sea from Singapore, there\'s a place called Kalimantan Barat (KalBar). That\'s Indonesian for West Borneo, well off that route of yellow fruit.</p>\n<p>Some of you may have caught some of my videos from my recent motorcycle tour around Myanmar. I wanted to do something like that again. Just get two wheels under me and go. Personally, the biggest reason I work is to do just that.</p>\n<h3>Hidden quantity</h3>\n<p>Like I said, I wasn\'t sure what to expect when I flew into Pontianak, KalBar\'s principal city. I at least expected to be able to rent a motorcycle to begin the journey. There\'s 5 million people in the greater Pontianak area. I figured that even though I hadn\'t been able to find anything online in regards to motorcycle rental (lots of places rented cars), once I got my feet on the ground there and got to talking to people (I happen to speak Indonesian), I\'d find something.</p>\n<p>No. Motorcycle rental is mostly a tourist thing, and when you go to a place that\'s unvisited by tourists, there is no tourist infrastructure. After a great deal of searching and enlisting help in the search, the solution came it me in a dream... Well, in that half-waking stage somewhere between sleep and consciousness. Why was I searching online in ENGLISH for a motorcycle to rent where people don\'t speak English?  Duh! When I entered the Indonesian terms for what I wanted into Google, boom, I found a place.</p>\n<h3>The open road</h3>\n<p>Off I went. As for the cycling part of the trip, I couldn\'t have been happier. Every day when I got out onto the road, I had a mile wide smile on my face. The roads were good. The weather wasn\'t bad. Each new part of KalBar I entered had it\'s unique charms. Most of all, the people were extremely friendly (being able to speak the local language helped a lot in this).</p>\n<p>Then, when I reached my destination, I ran into that lack of infrastructure thing again. No Wifi at the hotels. I paid extra on a few occasions so I could get a room with a western style toilet (I\'m too old and fat to squat properly). Even something as simple as beer was hard to come by. The population of KalBar is mixed between Muslim Malays, Chinese and the mostly Catholic indigenous Dayak people, but since the Malays pretty much run things, very few stores or hotels offer beer. Usually when on vacation, I like to live it up a bit, so this was a bit annoying.</p>\n<p>In each town, there was at least one interesting thing to see or do, but all in all, I enjoyed the getting there more than the being there. To put it bluntly, sometimes there\'s a reason why a region doesn\'t get a lot of tourism, i.e., it\'s not all that compelling. Seeing it all on a motorcycle, that was my favorite part.</p>\n<p>One of the most common questions I got from the locals was why I was doing this on my own. By myself. As an avid videographer, I don\'t see it that way. I had my GoPro taped to my helmet. I was bringing you all along with me.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">I invite you to check out the videos of the trip.</a></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I also have a YouTube page with lots&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">more stuff about the teaching lifestyle in Myanmar</a></p>','','2016-05-02 18:28:24',1,'2016-05-02 18:28:24','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30836,52,'May 2016','may-2016','Our regular monthly round-up of TEFL courses and degree courses.','All the latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s leading training course providers (both TEFL courses and degree courses)','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thaistudents2.jpg\" style=\"color: #545454; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<hr style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai has been teaching a full-time 120-hour course for over ten years and can boast over 1000 graduates.

A brain surgeon doesn\'t walk around thinking he\'s a school administrator!\"</p>\n<p>I reserve this joke for most of the administrators slash English teachers; those who play a dual role, and those pompous fools who, with their fancy PowerPoint presentations at TESOL conferences, play the part of a brain surgeon.  And, certainly, those administrators slash English teachers who scour the Internet in search of pedantic scholarly articles with such vomit-inducing titles like \"Phonological Awareness in Differentiated Classrooms\", \"Using Psycholinguistics to Create Social Awareness in Students\", \"Inter-subjectivity in the Classroom and its Sociological Implications\"... How I dread getting these useless articles in my email from pompous administrators slash English teachers slash pretend brain surgeons who have way too much time on their hands.</p>\n<h3>The \'foot soldiers\'</h3>\n<p>Fortunately, these people are not the majority in the TEFL industry.  They are not the heroes.  The real heroes of the TEFL industry are not the sergeants, the corporals, the lieutenants, the captains, or the admirals.  The real heroes of the TEFL industry are the foot soldiers; those who walk into the classroom every day and try to make a difference.</p>\n<p>I say &lsquo;try\' because the odds are against them.  In most schools, whether in China, Korea, Thailand or Canada, the U.S. or the UK, educational curricula are out of date or often non-applicable to the real world, textbooks are out of date or often non-applicable to the real world, and far too many administrators are in it simply for a pay check and to make it through the day without that dreaded phone call from a complaining parent.</p>\n<p>Schools in every country across the world have set up their students to fail; and when students fail, teachers fail; administrators fail; everyone fails.  This is what happens when school administrators are frightened by parents and students who might complain.  This is what happens when real teaching is put on the back burner.  This is what happens when school administrators are more concerned with how students feel rather than with what they need to know.</p>\n<p>This writing deals with what I consider to be the real heroes of the TEFL industry.</p>\n<p>What prompted this blog?  Recently I came across a post on a friend\'s Facebook page.  This friend is a recruiter in China who wrote about her &lsquo;feelings on recruiting\', commenting on the fact that many teachers from overseas are asking for salaries that, in her words, are \"rare or unrealistic for teachers who can only teach [the] English language.\"  On the same thread came a response from an Asian teacher.  Let\'s call him Mr. Li.</p>\n<p><em>\"Those people looking for RMB 17 - 20 per month in China are just vain and greedy, plain and simple. They\'re just shooting themselves in the foot because by expecting such unrealistically high salaries they are missing out on a hell of a lot of good opportunities.  I\'m earning 5.5k and I\'m saving at least 2k every month.  Who needs such a high salary in China anyway, the cost of living is low and accommodation is free.\" </em></p>\n<p>Seeing that vanity and greed are universal attributes, I will not comment on that.  Instead, I will write about some of my experiences that help give more evidence to my premise that the foot soldiers of the TEFL industry are its real heroes.</p>\n<p>It doesn\'t seem, Mr. Li that you understand what most English teachers go through in Asia.  Maybe you do, but given your response to the recruiter\'s feelings on recruiting and my 18 years\' experience living and teaching in five Asian countries, it doesn\'t look like you do.  So I\'m going to share some of my experiences with you.  And the thing is, my experiences are not unique.  We overseas English teachers share most of the same experiences whether we care to admit it.</p>\n<h3>\'Misconceptions\'</h3>\n<p>I should say that your response to the recruiter\'s post is not nearly as negative as many of the others I have read over the years.  In fact, it is refreshing that you have refrained from referring to foreigners in your country as drunks, drug-addicts, and unqualified fools.  Having said that, there are misconceptions about the lives of foreign teachers and what they go through that should be cleared up and may be helpful to you and many others.</p>\n<p>Spending five years or 10 years or 15 years teaching English in Asia is not something to brag about.  While many foreign teachers enjoy the new experiences overseas living provide us, singing songs to four year olds, showing flash cards of animals to eight year olds, and trying to placate a bunch of rude and noisy 14 year olds who have just discovered the opposite sex is not something most of us dream about.  But we do it because we have to.  Why do many of us have to, Mr. Li?  I\'ll tell you a bit later.</p>\n<p>Let me now tell you about a couple of the teachers I met four years ago when I was teaching in Shenzhen.  We were a varied bunch; young and old, professionals and professional wannabes.  We had one thing in common: to teach to the best of our ability and make a positive difference in each of our classrooms.</p>\n<p>There was a fifty-something year old grandmother, a professional primary school teacher from the United States.  She taught magnificently during the day, and sometimes cried herself to sleep at night.  She cried herself to sleep at night because she missed her children and her lovely granddaughter who had just been born.  She showed me pictures of her lovely granddaughter when she spoke to her daughter on Skype.</p>\n<p>Then there was a 60 year old father and grandfather, another professional teacher; not only that, but a former principal of a primary school in the United States.  One day he awoke with half his face contorted and paralyzed.  He thought he had suffered a stroke.</p>\n<p>He had no health insurance because the company in charge of sending teachers to schools told him that 60 year olds could not get public subsidized healthcare in China.  And the company would not help him in trying to get healthcare through a private healthcare provider.  It turned out that it was not a stroke; it was Bell\'s palsy, something far less serious.  He paid for the treatment out-of-pocket.  He left China with the proverbial bad taste in his mouth.</p>\n<p>Then there are the countless 20 something\'s, recent college graduates $60,000 in student loan debt.  Having to pack their bags after signing a contract with Happy Lucky Golden Dragon Language School in Beijing, these countless blond-haired blue-eyed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look-a-likes must now spend their days or evenings or weekends showing eight year olds flash cards with colorful animals on them.  \"This is a pig! It goes oink-oink!\"  This is not how many of us foreigners had envisioned our futures, Mr. Li.</p>\n<p>How did this happen?  Why are there now so many foreign English teachers in China, or for that matter, all over Asia?  And back to the question, why do so many of us have to teach English in Asia?</p>\n<h3>Hard times</h3>\n<p>Well, Mr. Li, take a look at your Apple smart phone.  That Apple smart phone you use is now made by thousands of factory workers just outside Shanghai and Shenzhen.  So are lap tops and air conditioners and refrigerators and Nike running shoes and all sorts of sportswear.  These recent college graduates cannot find work in their area of study in their own country.  Also, wages in so-called developed western nations have not risen in almost three decades.</p>\n<p>A recent job description online here in Canada offered $14.00 an hour for warehouse work.  I was making that 27 years ago working in a warehouse of a pharmaceutical company.  I can assure you that rent, electricity, and food prices in Canada has not remained the same as it was 27 years earlier.</p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, Mr. Li, in Canada, a $14.00 an hour job over a 35 hour work week places us Canadians at about the same pay scale as a 20 something recent college graduate playing hangman at the Happy Lucky Golden Dragon Language School in Beijing.  Now subtract about 20-40 percent (depending on income) for taxes, (Federal, provincial, sales tax, etc.,) and $600.00-$700.00 a month for a one-room apartment, (perhaps the Happy Lucky Golden Dragon offers free housing), and suddenly singing &lsquo;Itsy-bitsy Spider\' to six year olds doesn\'t sound that bad.</p>\n<p>I remember talking to a recruiter in Korea in 2010 who told me that he was receiving hundreds of resumes from people with Master\'s Degrees in business or the sciences looking to teach in Korean language schools because \"there is nothing back home.\" And that\'s just one recruiter!</p>\n<h3>Listen up Mr Li</h3>\n<p>The reasons for the stagnant economies in the west are complex and well beyond the limited scope of this blog, but this reality has not changed.  In fact, it has gotten worse.</p>\n<p>So if some of us want to make as much money as we can, what\'s it to you?  If we want to make a few thousand more RMBs a month just to make our lives in China a bit more tolerable; so what?</p>\n<p>In what is supposedly the richest country on earth, why would a grandmother have to leave her children and grandchildren to find work in China?  Why would anyone have to tear themselves away from their mother, father, brother, sister, children, or grandchildren so that they could spend their time in a foreign country with people that do not respect their efforts and think them vain and greedy?</p>\n<p>Why would anyone from the great, rich, prosperous West have to pack their bags and take a 17,000 - 20,000 RMB teaching position when there are perfectly good burger-flipping, muffin-serving, and grave-digging jobs right here at home? After 18 years in this industry, it would seem to me that this whole teaching English overseas business would work somewhat better if it were something all of us would want to do rather than something that, because of poor economic and social conditions in our own country, have to do.</p>\n<p>A little understanding and gratitude, Mr. Li, is what is appropriate here.  If a group of English teachers yearn to get together on a Friday evening and drink a little more than what is considered normal by Chinese standards, then perhaps a little understanding is what is needed.</p>\n<p>There are only so many animal flash cards we can tolerate.  There are only so many crying children we can take.  There are only so many young and uncouth adolescents who &lsquo;flip the bird\' at us we can handle.  There is only so much conflict and abuse from school administrators we will tolerate.  And there are only so many times we can be called &lsquo;vain\' and &lsquo;greedy\' before some of us will tell you to bugger off!</p>\n<p>I am reminded of several other friends and former colleagues in Korea and Cambodia who are emotionally torn and conflicted because they are currently not at home helping to take care of sick or ageing parents.  I am continually haunted by the personal stories they have shared with me; teachers who have received that 2:00 a.m. phone call telling them that their mother had passed away; teachers who have received that dreaded email from their sister telling them that their father has cancer, or is now on dialysis, or their brother died in an car accident.</p>\n<p>And these are the foreign teachers who are close to their families.  There are foreign teachers who are not.  A little secret, Mr. Li:  Many parents of foreign teachers hate the fact that their sons or daughter are travelling halfway around the world to find work.  Many siblings are not talking to their brother or sister any longer simply because they are not at home where they believe they belong.  I realize this may be news to you.  Admittedly, this is not something that we foreigners talk about openly or often.</p>\n<p>A little heads-up, Mr. Li, and thousands like you, when talking about foreign teachers in your country; a little &lsquo;FYI\':  We foreign teachers don\'t like to be reminded of what losers we are.  We don\'t like to be reminded that good, decent paying jobs are now a scarcity in our respective countries of birth.  We don\'t like to be reminded of how far our lives have sunk that we must now take jobs in China singing songs to four year olds who pee and poop in their pants. Many of us are sick and tired of pretending we actually enjoy that.</p>\n<p>We don\'t like to be accused of being vain and greedy.  So if a bottle or two of your traditional rice wine or an occasional Asian woman in our bed in a futile attempt to get through another tough work week bothers you, feel free to turn a blind eye.</p>\n<p>A little gratitude and understanding about what we go through will go a long way.  And along with that gratitude and understanding, a simple and sincere thank you would also be nice.  \"Thank you for teaching here in China. Thank you for teaching our sons and our daughters, our brothers and our sisters.  Thank you for your hard work.  Thank you for your dedication.  Thank you for caring.  We understand what you do is not easy.  You are away from home, away from your family and loved ones.  You think of them often, especially on holidays.  You talk to them on Skype.  You are homesick.  Sometimes you are lonely; so thank you, teachers.\"  Now was that so hard, Mr. Li?</p>\n<h3>The real heroes</h3>\n<p>So these are my heroes, the real heroes of TEFL.  Call them unsung heroes, if you want because that\'s what they are.</p>\n<p>Heroes that have come home from Asia or the Middle East after serving others only to return to Korea or China or Saudi Arabia because of a lack of opportunity and jobs back home; heroes who have come home only to be told that their experiences overseas are non-transferable and count for practically nothing.</p>\n<p>It burns my guts to hear over and over again how our experiences overseas are often not recognized back home and are considered non-transferable to other work places.  In a justifiable and robust defense of overseas workers who have returned to their homeland, a teacher who has commanded a classroom of 35 Asian or Middle-Eastern students who speak little English, deserves respect and have his or her experiences count.</p>\n<p>Those who have learned a foreign language, lived in another culture, interacted with the local people, and studied their history have unique skills and knowledge that is not only transferable, but also beneficial to colleagues and superiors across various workplaces of their respective nations.</p>\n<p>Here are to the teachers who have had to leave their families and their homeland behind, not just native English speakers, but Filipino teachers, European teachers, South African teachers, and dedicated teachers from around the world because their respective governments and politicians are too stupid to build or maintain an efficient, effective, and prosperous economy that would benefit their citizens.</p>\n<p>Here are to the teachers who have had to endure, and continue to endure, abuse, misinformation, and ignorance on both sides of the world along with broken social contracts between themselves and their country.</p>\n<p>Here are to the dedicated teachers I see in teacher\'s rooms everyday who yearn for a simple thank you for their effort.</p>\n<p>I clink my glass with awe and amazement at how many of these teachers keep going.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in.....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/who-are-the-real-tefl-heroes\">Who are the real TEFL heroes? -&nbsp;My vote and support goes to the Thai English teachers</a></p>','','2016-05-15 19:02:17',1,'2016-05-15 19:02:17','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30856,20,'Who are the real TEFL heroes?','who-are-the-real-tefl-heroes','My vote and support goes to the Thai English teachers','Now, I work hard and go beyond what is required of me every day.

You ain\'t \'heroes\', okay?</p>\n<p>Well, <a href=\"/blogs/steve-schertzer/the-real-heroes-of-the-tefl-industry\">Steve Schertzer has written a well thought out, intelligent and compelling argument</a>, lauding the sacrifices made by teachers in Asia. He certainly has the experience to make these assertions, having taught for many years in five Asian countries. So his article deserves a well thought out, intelligent and compelling answer...</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, he\'s got mine, instead!</p>\n<p>I\'ve only taught in Thailand so my opinion comes from here. But I have taught here for a long time and I have taught at every level with a degree of accomplishment and time \'served\', so I do have reliable pedigree.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never heard the \'old joke\' about the brain surgeon... but it certainly does sound old! I\'m certainly in agreement with Steve, that there is an army of professional wankers in the English teaching business who create pretentious re-workings of liberal education theories and somehow think that if these idiotic missives are deployed, they will somehow make teachers in Thailand better or more efficient in the classroom.</p>\n<p>There\'s a regular poster on one of the teaching forums who has regular \'webinars\' (how I hate that word) on teaching and how great new ideas are, and how they\'ll change the world of TEFLing in Thailand. He seems like a nice enough fellow but he\'s a dreamy-eyed, pseudo-academic who can theorize about anything and do (practically) nothing with any degree of efficacy.</p>\n<p>And he\'s certainly not alone. Thailand has a whole pack (yes, I chose that collective noun with care) of pompous Expat educators who have somehow muscled their way into positions of influence and have since declared themselves \'experts\'. This probably happens in most places in most professions but I don\'t know about them.</p>\n<p>The writer has quite rightly exposed them for the frauds and ineffective spivs that they are. But from then on, Steve loses his way a little bit...</p>\n<p>Using \'Mr. Li\' as a compendium of teachers who are NOT native English speakers, the writer tries his best to drum up the sympathy vote for expat teachers who are faced with the torturous and backbreaking work of teaching English for little money, little support and even less recognition.</p>\n<p>Using anecdotal evidence about the various misfortunes some \'foot soldiers\' have had to endure, he has elevated us to \'hero\' status. I don\'t know about you, but I saw beyond the well written article and came away feeling a bit guilty. Do we really deserve this honor?</p>\n<h3>We can be heroes... just for one day!</h3>\n<p>Now, I work hard and go beyond what is required of me every day. But it\'s no sacrifice. I like doing it.</p>\n<p>I\'m no hero. In fact, if I want to, I can quit and bugger off home at any time. Or I can just change schools if this one falls out of favor with me. I can work more or less in my job and I still get paid the same. I\'m a \'foot soldier\'... but I like it that way. I\'m way down on the list of my employer\'s priorities. I show up for work and I get paid when it\'s done.</p>\n<p>If I get sick, I\'ll deal with it. If my family get old and die, then I\'ll deal with it. If I miss my family, my friends and my custard creams then I\'ll deal with it. Nobody owes me anything for being a teacher in Thailand. And another thing - nobody wants to hear about my problems, either. That\'s not why I was hired. Like I said... I show up and get paid when I\'m done.</p>\n<p>And teaching English isn\'t as \'vital\' to the Thai economic engine as some people seem to think. I\'m about up to here (I have my hand under my nose) with teachers crowing about how \'valuable\' and \'important\' they are and how much they are \'needed.\' We aren\'t any more important than factory workers. We most certainly are NOT \'heroes!\'</p>\n<p>Ninety-nine percent of Thailand\'s sixty million citizens can get by quite nicely without learning a lick of English. When they figure this out I\'m doomed! Hopefully we\'ll keep the gravy train moving for the next few years, though. I have a mortgage and I don\'t think blogging from a coffee shop in Chiang Mai is gonna pay it!</p>\n<h3>The real heroes... year after year!</h3>\n<p>But there are heroes... and in my fifteen years in this crazy business I\'m qualified to lend my support for that honor, and it goes to the Thai teachers who teach English. Thai English teachers are often not equipped to teach English. they are badly trained, badly resourced and badly paid.</p>\n<p>But they can\'t simply go \'home\', switch country or get another job in the space of a week. They can\'t/don\'t call in sick with a hangover every Monday. They can\'t complain about stuff to their employers and they don\'t strut around like petulant queens when things don\'t go their way.</p>\n<p>Instead, they hang in there year after year doing the best they can with their abilities and tools that they have. They show up and do extra duties without a word. They work within a system that is working against them. And they certainly aren\'t looking for recognition as \'heroes.\' But in my mind, almost all of them are.</p>\n<p>So, please, if you\'re a \'foot soldier\' reading this, thinking that you are playing an important role in the future and betterment of Thailand\'s future - You\'re not.

They want change.','Let us help our country flourish just like Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia. Let us help our president. Let us follow his decrees. We will never be lost with a good leader.','<p>The Filipino people have spoken. They want change. This was manifested by a landslide victory of Rodrigo Duterte over four equally qualified presidentiables after 6 months of intensive campaign to win people\'s hearts wherein lambasting, attacking personalities, marring integrities, and unpleasant exchange of accusations were over.</p>\n<p>Man\'s destiny is written. In the case of Rodrigo Duterte, a humble Mayor of Davao City, Philippines, is now the President of the Republic of the Philippines. After 35 years or so, the Creator had finally decided to save a precious and ailing nation in the Far East, the only predominant Catholic country in Asia, the Philippines.</p>\n<p>He sent a simple man full of imperfections just like God\'s chosen people in the Bible -Moses, Abraham, Solomon, Paul to name a few, who at first,  were hesitant to accept their assigned missions but later on became the champions of God\'s advocacy.</p>\n<p>Since president Duterte was recognized by 2 major spiritual leaders of the country, Apollo Quiboloy and Eduardo Manalo, and even secret Catholic religious with prophetic abilities, there\'s no doubt that Duterte  is the annointed man for the Herculean job of changing, reorganizing, revamping, or cleaning the corrupt Philippine society.</p>\n<p>As what many moralists say, change can never be attained without changing ourselves. I say,  it is more than that. It is not only changing ourselves but someone has to change us. (Just like our parents, teachers, and people in authority who change enormous lives of people). I guess this is the nature of the Filipino. Perhaps not all, but many of our people need to curtail our undesirable behavior, our unlawful acts, our defiance to authority, and our selfishness. We need a decisive leader like President Marcos before, minus his robbing of Filipino resources. We need a tested leader who has brought his city to the limelight  as one of the top  \"Safe Cities in the World\".</p>\n<p>Our role therefore, as Duterte\'s people, we should be disciplined.  Borrowing the slogan of the 1971 Martial Law \"Sa ikauunlad ng bayan disiplina ang kailangan?( In order for a society to prosper, discipline is necessary.) Pay our taxes honestly. (Number one source of government income). Cooperate in eradicating drug sale and use (Most reported heinous crimes were done through the influence of drugs.)</p>\n<p>Practice honesty at all times, obey the law, promote justice, follow the path of righteousness, and fear God.</p>\n<p>Let us help our country flourish just like Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia.

And it\'s all downhill from there.','<p>Last week, I ordered a steam cleaning gun from one of Thailand\'s best-known home shopping websites.</p>\n<p>Their website, unlike so many in Thailand, is a dream to use. You select your product, read the description, fill in a few credit card details and click, click, boom! - you get a nice message thanking you for your business and the promise of delivery within three days. You can even track the progress of your delivery on-line. One minute your steam cleaner is leaving Singapore, the next minute it\'s arrived in Bangkok. And you\'re behind your computer following it every step of the way. How exciting is that?</p>\n<p>Eventually of course, the steam cleaner arrives at the very final stage of its mammoth journey - the delivery to your home address. And it\'s all downhill from there.</p>\n<h3>Lost</h3>\n<p>\"I\'m on Theparak Road\" said the delivery driver, \"but I can\'t find the house number\"</p>\n<p>Theparak Road is about six miles long. I would defy anyone to find a specific location armed with nothing but a house number.</p>\n<p>I passed the phone to my wife, as I usually do in these situations. She explained to the driver that he needed to make his way to the next intersection, make the first u-turn at the huge Nissan repair center and our house is then on the left. It has a green gate, a white wall and an enormous pink bougainvillea bush out front. You can\'t miss it. Well, no normal person with the magical gift of eyesight could.</p>\n<p>Five minutes later and the phone rings a second time. The driver is lost. He\'s actually at the completely wrong intersection. And so the sorry saga continues with no fewer than six phone calls over the course of a stressful hour as the driver takes the second U-turn instead of the first, loses sight of possibly the largest Nissan repair center in Bangkok and fails to recognize a ginormous pink flower bush when it almost jumps out and bites him on the arse.</p>\n<p>This is what I call the inconvenience of convenience.</p>\n<h3>Lost again</h3>\n<p>The only other time I\'ve used this home delivery company was when I ordered a splendid leather cover for my kindle. However this time, I didn\'t have my wife\'s Thai language skills to rely on. It ended up with me standing on Theparak Road in front of the house for half an hour - in the boiling hot sun - and waving my arms up and down at every vehicle that passed and looked like a white delivery van.</p>\n<p>Isn\'t it easier to just go to the shops?</p>\n<p>The number of home delivery services in Bangkok has exploded over the past few years. Nowadays you can order your groceries, printer ink and cotton t-shirts without leaving the comforts of home or traipsing around soulless shopping malls and hearing one shop assistant after another come out with those magical words &lsquo;mai mee\' (no have)</p>\n<p>That\'s the theory anyway. But for folks like me who have a Bangkok address that\'s seemingly impossible to find, it\'s invariably a system that never quite works. Almost........but not quite.</p>\n<h3>Pizza problems</h3>\n<p>Years ago, I lived in a rented house on a sprawling &lsquo;moobaan\' off Ramkhamhaeng Road. Back in those days, the only thing people had delivered to their door was fast food and pizza.</p>\n<p>I\'m not a great pizza lover but every so often a promotional leaflet from someone like Pizza Company would be shoved through my front gate with an offer that was just too good to pass up.</p>\n<p>\"Order a large pizza and get another one entirely free. Hell, we\'ll even throw in a large bottle of Pepsi and some onion rings as well\"</p>\n<p>All that grub for some ridiculously low figure of 149 baht or thereabouts. I know a bargain when I see it. Who cares if I\'m going to be living on cold pizza for a week?</p>\n<p>But the pizza delivery boy could never ever find me. My address was 149/1 Soi 3 Moobarn Seri 5. It may as well have been on Mars.</p>\n<p>Eventually it got to the stage where I would call and place my order with the pizza company and immediately start rummaging around for my running shoes. I knew that twenty minutes later there would be a desperate call from the delivery boy to tell me he was hopelessly lost.</p>\n<p>\"Don\'t worry\" I would say, \"I\'ll meet you at Premier Apartment Building\" - which was both a five-minute walk away and the only well-known landmark in the vicinity.</p>\n<p>And Premier Apartment Building was where the cash and pizza handover would take place, and in turn totally defeating the object of pizza delivery.</p>\n<p>The inconvenience of convenience.</p>\n<p>In other modern-age developments that are there to supposedly enrich our lives, we now have several dial-a-taxi services in Bangkok. With a few clicks and swipes of a mobile phone app, you can order a clean, sweet-smelling taxi (complete with rear seatbelts) and a polite, uniformed driver to whisk you from A to B for little more than the cost of a regular taxi flagged down in the street.</p>\n<p>I\'ve never understood why so many expats have problems with the regular Bangkok taxis. Yes, some of the cars could do with a valeting and yes, a number of drivers could improve their customer service skills, but by and large I find Bangkok\'s taxis and drivers to be pretty easy to get on with. However, a large number of expats, tired of being refused or being taken on magical mystery detours, now prefer to use the dial-a-taxi services it seems.</p>\n<p>But as with pizzas and steam cleaners, the whole system depends on someone being able to find you.</p>\n<h3>The long way home</h3>\n<p>My wife and I had an appointment a while back at a government office in far-flung Northern Bangkok. As most visits to government departments tend to be, it turned into a long and exhausting day. We had also opted not to take our car after hearing it would be murder getting parked.</p>\n<p>Business done, we emerged into daylight just as the city\'s evening rush hour was starting. We stood on the footpath, looked out at eight lanes of gridlock, and decided it was time to put that taxi app to use. Let\'s go home in a bit of style and to hell with the expense.</p>\n<p>After ten minutes (it felt like much longer) we had found a driver. He had accepted our destination and our generous offer of a hundred baht tip - as well as the usual fifty baht surcharge. All that remained was for our driver to get to us. He called us on the phone to say he was about three kilometres away.</p>\n<p>Another ten minutes passed and the driver called us again to explain that he was stuck in a traffic jam in the middle of a narrow soi. I could see from the tracking system on my smartphone app that he was crawling at a snail\'s pace. To make matters worse, the traffic on the main road where we were standing had started to move freely and we lost count of the number of available regular taxis that started whizzing by.</p>\n<p>We could have hailed any of them but we felt a strange bond with our unknown dial-a-driver who was battling horrendous road conditions to get to us. We had to stick it out because it felt like the ethical thing to do.</p>\n<p>Eventually our taxi driver showed up - on the wrong side of the road, unable to do a u-turn, and leaving us to negotiate a pedestrian bridge and a few hundred metres of obstructed footpath in order to get to him.</p>\n<p>Had we just stopped a taxi in the street, we would have been half-way home already.</p>','','2016-05-18 05:31:50',1,'2016-05-18 05:31:50','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30890,41,'How can I make it in the madness?','how-can-i-make-it-in-the-madness','The harsh reality of teaching in Thailand','It\'s depressing just how many people come here to teach and leave with lots of resentment and bitterness. Or worse still, remain here polluting the place with those same feelings! Don\'t be one of them.','<p>Thailand\'s public education system is in trouble.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We all know it. Thai teachers know it, foreign teachers know it, the schools know it <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/974409/education-is-just-appalling\">and even The Prime Minister came out recently and gave it a big thumbs down.</a></p>\n<p>Everybody knows it\'s horrible... and yet, after all this time, attention and cash devoted to it, there\'s no evidence that it\'s going to change into anything else. It\'s always been this way, too. It didn\'t get worse... it just didn\'t get better!</p>\n<p>Yet there are tens of thousands of foreigners willing to put up with horrible pay to be in a hot classroom full of tired and reluctant kids who don\'t give a durian about learning English.</p>\n<p>Most people who come to Thailand use their naturally learned skills as &lsquo;native English speakers\' to get work here so they can prolong their stay. It\'s a brilliant scam, because no matter how crap you are at English or teaching it, if you look the part you can easily get work here.</p>\n<p>It helps if you are under forty years old, white and even more if you are female... but anyone can get in on this gravy train. You can vacation for life using only your charm and appearance as a resources for a moderate income and a laidback lifestyle.</p>\n<p>And who can blame anyone for doing this? The wages may be pretty abysmal, but Thailand is so cheap to live in, it hardly matters. There are loads of beaches, bars and beautiful girls (for the guys). Most Thais are very welcoming to foreigners. And the education system itself doesn\'t seem to give a mangosteen about who you are, how you perform and what mischief in your past you\'re running away from!</p>\n<p>Best of all, nobody can tell that you\'re crap at your job because nobody is qualified to assess the damage you\'re doing! But even if they suspect that you are rubbish, most employers are just happy to have anyone show up to their appalling schools and sit in front of the students for a few hours each week.</p>\n<h3>I can do this, I really can.</h3>\n<p>But what happens, when professional holiday-makers come over here and then try to act like real teachers?</p>\n<p>I should know the answer - I\'m one of them! I\'ve managed to take myself too seriously as a &lsquo;teacher\' here for many years. No training and no qualifications to be in a classroom. Nothing!</p>\n<p>That doesn\'t mean I don\'t try to do it properly. I do. And it\'s not that hard, either. You don\'t have to be a doctor to be a nurse, right? Or, more accurately, you don\'t have to be a mechanic to inflate the tyres on your car.</p>\n<p>But for many that come here, changing from a visitor into an expat can spell the end of a love affair with Thailand as it turns out that teachers who try their best to teach English are up against many layers of opposition. Everything is seemingly stacked up against foreign &lsquo;teachers\', be they good or bad, professional or just enthusiastic.</p>\n<p>It would take a much longer essay to explain all of these obstacles, how they impact education and what can be done to stop the rot. What\'s the point, though? We all have our own ideas about what the problems are and what can be done about them. What\'s really important is how you react and live with the uncontrollable monsters interfering with your dream life.</p>\n<h3>Maybe I\'m not as tall as I think I am!</h3>\n<p>The first thing to understand and reconcile yourself with is the miniscule impact that you are having on your students. If you aren\'t even trying to do a good job at work, then - congratulations -  you\'ve already avoided all this particular frustration. You can skip the rest of this and get back to your holiday in the sun.</p>\n<p>If you are trying to do the right thing by your classes then you\'re going to have to come to terms with some very hard facts.</p>\n<h3>Let\'s burst some balloons!</h3>\n<p>It\'s time to explode a few myths.</p>\n<p>The first one being, that you are needed and you provide a valuable service. You aren\'t and you don\'t. Many people seriously have the impression that they are doing Thailand a favour by devoting their time to teaching English here. One young lady recently started a &lsquo;GoFundMe\' page insisting that she was <em>needed</em> in the classroom and that her courageous migration was in fact some kind of charity work!</p>\n<p>Your fellow teachers, employers and the parents value you. This is unlikely... but it\'s possible, though not for the reasons that you think they might.</p>\n<p>You\'re underpaid and you deserve more. Wrong again. Wages for NES (native English speakers) in the public education system have gotten <em>lower</em> over the past few years. And why not? It\'s crazy to pay a decent living wage when someone is prepared to show up to the same job for a lot less.</p>\n<p>Thais have it all wrong when it comes to education. Partly right, but mostly wrong... and when you look at the alarming mental health issues facing first world countries right now, I tend to believe that Thailand has it about right.</p>\n<p>If Thais don\'t improve their English skills nationally they\'ll suffer in the global marketplace. Wrong. There are much more important things in business than speaking English. Thailand has a cheap workforce and a good infrastructure. It welcomes foreign industry and investment. Compared to many Asian countries, it\'s pretty easy to set up shop and start to trade. Knowledge of English will always be an advantage but it\'s not critical.</p>\n<p>You\'re a good teacher. Nope, sorry, you\'re not. Seriously, if you are then why are you even here? And how did you discover that you were a good teacher? Your boss likes you because you show up every day when you are supposed to. The parents like you because you tell them that their kids are awesome and clever and your students like you because you\'re fun in the classroom.</p>\n<p>Oh, wait... actually, if the above describes you then it turns out that you ARE a good teacher. You\'re everything an employer could want. A reliable, friendly liar!</p>\n<h3>Know your limits... and know theirs, too!</h3>\n<p>So, what\'s next for you? How do you work within the system and avoid drinking yourself to death. Or worse, jumping off your apartment building? Can you even make the changes necessary to be happy wallowing in this mess?</p>\n<p>First, let\'s stop with this &lsquo;changing the world\' nonsense. Anyone can do your job. Yes, and in fact there are thousands of people a whole lot further down the food chain than you that are doing it. Nobody is complaining about them either... except the ferocious online forums that surround this daft industry.</p>\n<p>Next, determine what your employers want from you. They probably don\'t want to be bothered by your ground-breaking ideas on how to teach English. They don\'t want you in the office every time the printer is on the blink or the internet isn\'t working. And they definitely don\'t want to hear your opinions on anything.</p>\n<p>Make peace with yourself and your surroundings. The pavements are dangerous places to traverse but unless you intend on fixing them yourself then quit complaining about them. The paperwork required to legitimise your stay in Thailand is a nuisance. Hating it won\'t make it go away. There\'s no Marmite in Big C... learn to live with it!</p>\n<p>Finally - everything that happens to you in Thailand isn\'t a personal attack. You don\'t have to feel threatened and angry when Thailand works it\'s magical charms against you.</p>\n<h3>Ch ch ch ch changes...</h3>\n<p>Well, I\'ve painted a pretty disparaging and slightly depressing picture so far but if you are smart and willing to make adjustments to your expectations of living in Thailand, you can be a reasonably effective educator and still enjoy the easy going yet often shambolic life that the Kingdom has to offer.</p>\n<p>But you will have to make changes to yourself if you want to stay here and stay sane. The honeymoon with Thailand is over too quickly for many people and when the reality of living with someone you don\'t get on with is an ongoing hangover, it\'s time to make a choice... You adapt to it or you leave it behind.</p>\n<p>It\'s depressing just how many people have come here and either left with lots of resentment and bitterness - or worse, remained here polluting the place with those same feelings!</p>\n<p>Don\'t be one of them.</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/paypacket.jpg','2016-05-18 06:08:46',1,'2016-05-18 06:08:46','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30892,90,'Staying safe in Thailand','staying-safe-in-thailand','Thailand isn\'t dangerous but you do need to be smart','As a new teacher considering where to live and work, safety is an important factor. Even if you don\'t think too much about it, I am sure your family will.','<p>With elderly families being attacked in the streets, university lecturers killing each other, a seemingly endless line of foreign lemmings dropping off balconies, packs of vicious ladyboys, the army taking over the country and a bomb every other day in the south it may seem that Thailand isn\'t a safe place to be.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a new teacher considering where to live and work, safety is an important factor. Even if you don\'t think too much about it I am sure your family will. Moving overseas is supposed to be an adventure but not like the type of adventure that Frodo had where there was the chance he might not come back alive...</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Three years ago when I moved here I didn\'t think too much about safety other than about the usual potential pickpockets and petty crime that you could find in any city. I didn\'t do much research about safety and there weren\'t as many high profile incidents as there have been in the last three years. I had been to Bangkok on vacation before and considered myself to be somewhere relatively safe.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see at the start of this blog there have been a number of incidents recently which have been reported far and wide. Adding to those above we also have the Erawan bombing which left my phone buzzing with friends and family anxiously checking I was ok. It was this event which really made me think about the impact my move had had on those back home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have noticed that a lot of them seem less keen on coming to Thailand to visit now than when I first moved here. I guess they have the perception that Thailand is maybe not the safest place to be right now - but is that really true?\r\n	<br>In all honesty I feel there is more danger now than three years ago but in reality there are many ways to avoid it and it isn\'t dangerous living here.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Bombings</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly in regards to the bombings in the south of Thailand (Songkhla, Yala, Pattani, Narithawat) you should simply avoid living and working there in my opinion. There is no need to put yourself in any danger. I\'m sure some of you live in these areas and will say it is safe but why risk it? There is plenty of work all over Thailand and many great provinces to live in which cater for every need.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Attacks</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Next we have families being attacked, and in general foreigners being attacked in Thailand. I have never once been in a situation where I have felt like I was going to be assaulted in Thailand. I guess the phrase \'wrong place wrong time\' applies in some of the situations where foreigners are on the receiving end - and of course sometimes premeditated attacks do happen as they do in other countries around the world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to lower the chances of being in such a situation then you should avoid certain areas at certain times. I always read most of the stories about foreigners being attacked by ladyboys and see it almost always happens in the dark streets of Pattaya at 2am - I think people need to show some common sense. I wouldn\'t go out alone at that time in certain parts of the UK, USA or Australia - why would you need to be out alone in Pattaya at that time?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Falling off the balcony</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Another curse that seems to happen often in Pattaya and many other major expat areas is that a large number of foreigners fall from balconies. In many cases people cry foul play and insist they must have been pushed. In reality most of these cases don\'t involve English teachers but other expats and tourists.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I would say that a lot of foreigners aren\'t used to living in high rise buildings and after a few drinks it is possible for accidents to happen. I also believe that a lot of the deaths of older people are genuine suicides and indeed notes are often found with people saying what they are about to do. Maybe there are some incidents where people are pushed but in this case you should be thinking about who you are inviting into your room. If you are still concerned about the balcony suicide rate then take it out of the equation - rent a house or a room without a balcony, there are plenty of them around.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Army</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand has had many military coups over the years but this one is probably the most widely reported and known about. Reading around on many sites you would seem to think we are under a North Korean style dictatorship. To be honest my daily life hasn\'t changed in the last 2 years since the army took over. I am not allowed to join a political protest or like any political photos on Facebook - hardly activities I would like to do anyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sure there have been some sacrifices in terms of commenting on events and people but it doesn\'t affect my job, my weekly round of golf or the price of a beer. The political situation in the UK and USA isn\'t exactly A1 right now and to be honest I am bored of listening to people complain about Trump vs Clinton and the whole \"Brexit\" thing. So the army coming in and not having to deal with \"Shutdown Bangkok\" and the like is fine with me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I appreciate the argument of free speech and the rights of people but as an English teacher here it really doesn\'t make any difference to your daily life. English teachers have been here for years and will be in the future. I doubt we will get a seat at the negotiation table to discuss the road map for Thailand - I\'ll leave that to the Thais.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>So what are the real dangers of being an English teacher in Thailand?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not just Pattaya which is full of vices, you can find them all around the country - alcohol and women being most people\'s choices. Arriving in Thailand you will be surrounded by temptations that you might not have had before.\r\n	<br>Warm weather and cheap beer are a perfect match. An ex colleague of mine found out to his cost that employers aren\'t keen on teachers who call in sick at 2pm or just don\'t show up to work because they\'ve been out drinking - he\'s on his third job in six months right now. Also a few too many nights out a month could leave you with very light pockets - eating Mama Noodles for the last week every month isn\'t a good experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a quick swipe left or right on your phone you can find yourself a date for the night. In fact walking from your apartment to 7/11 you can probably find someone to spend time with. When you arrive in Thailand you will likely be a lot more attractive to the opposite sex than in your home country. This leads to many people being a lot more promiscuous than they would normally be (especially when mixed with cheap beer). Of course we all know of the health risks associated with unprotected sex but bear in mind Thailand has a rapidly growing rate of HIV infection too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I also know of people who invite people from the internet or Tinder to meet at their apartment for a first \"date\" which is another risk - some people really are just after the money. This isn\'t to say that dating Thais is a bad thing to do, on the contrary in fact. If you meet Thai people who work away from the tourist areas you will find some of the most caring, lovely people. Again the quick fix isn\'t the way to find love.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher there is the potential to fall for a student. Working in a high school this will get you fired and depending on the circumstances much worse could happen - you don\'t want to end up in jail.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The biggest danger for the new arrival will be running out of money. Your first pay packet won\'t arrive until after your first month and in most cases it won\'t be a large packet. Many people forget about the startup costs and arrive in holiday mode, spending too much each day. You really do need at least 100,000 Baht to make it through the first 2 months before you get paid.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Low level crime such as pickpocketing and other scams is mainly centred around tourist areas. Think whether you really need or want to live in these areas. If you chose to live near Asok, Khao San or similar locations in other tourist areas then you are more likely experience bad situations. I live in the northern outskirts of Bangkok and feel safe and have never had any problems day or night.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>It\'s actually quite good here....</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand isn\'t dangerous, you just need to be smart. The country relies on tourism for around 10% of its GDP so you will be looked after as most people will presume you are a tourist. You need to say or do something quite bad for most Thai people to react to what you have done. Being a bit drunk or complaining about service in the restaurant won\'t get you beaten up but in the same way it is best to try and avoid confrontational situations - is it worth arguing over a 40 Baht dish?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chill out on your weekends, have a couple of drinks and smile at the somtam seller outside your apartment - you\'re in Thailand its pretty good here.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

It was a full-bloodied assault on the senses. It was the ultimate cosmopolitan melting pot. It was a head-spinning mix of the old and the new. It was a veritable smorgasbord of everything that\'s different about Asian culture.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been teaching at a small kindergarten school for about three months now and have to say I\'m loving every second of it. I\'m really beginning to feel that I have found my vocation in life. I just wonder how long this honeymoon period will last.</p>\n<h3>Research (or lack of it)</h3>\n<p>I decided to arrange a teaching job while I was still in the UK and completely ignore the advice on many of the websites what I read. When I started my research, there seemed to be too much information to take on board and I couldn\'t be bothered with reading it all. It\'s worked out well in the end though. I\'m at a great school with great students and a great boss. I couldn\'t really ask for more.</p>\n<p>I spent a lot of time researching teaching positions and found an agency that took care of everything. They met me at the airport in a battered old minivan. They arranged my accommodation. They even provided me with a sim card so I could keep in touch with family back home. There was also a photo on their website homepage of six people on a beach - about my age - all jumping up in the air. They looked like they were having such a cool time. I had typed and sent an e-mail before you could say full-moon party cocktail bucket.</p>\n<p>The agent replied immediately and after asking me a few questions such as &lsquo;do you have any experience?\' and &lsquo;what colour are your eyes?\' the agency offered me a ten-month contract. I was initially concerned about what I would do for the two months unpaid but the agent said \"you no worry, I take care everything\" and that really put my mind at rest. In fact after meeting the agent face-to-face, \"you no worry, I take care everything\" has become something of a catch-phrase, especially when it\'s time to discuss work permits and a proper contract - one that I can physically hold in my hand.</p>\n<p>The Thai head teacher at the kindergarten is lovely and I value her encouragement. When I\'m standing in front of the school gates at 8.00 each morning to greet the parents, she appreciates it\'s uncomfortably hot out there but she shouts \"you\'re doing a fantastic job\" from her air-conditioned office on the third floor.</p>\n<h3>Finding enlightenment</h3>\n<p>Thailand is primarily a Buddhist country, but before I came here, I knew nothing about the religion itself other than some of the Buddha statues I\'ve seen in photos are all really big and really shiny.</p>\n<p>I thought that learning a little about Buddhism might help me settle into my newly adopted country so I borrowed a book from the local library. However, even after reading it cover to cover and skipping some of the boring bits, there are still so many questions left unanswered. Is it truly the path to enlightenment? Is it viable to exist and be happy in a world without any material possessions? And is it acceptable for a novice monk to touch a woman even if no one can see us behind the temple?</p>\n<p>Surviving on 30,000 baht a month, even in Bangkok, hasn\'t been a problem. Well, less a little bit of tax and the 5,000 baht a month that goes to the agent. The cost of food here is incredibly cheap and it\'s super-delish. I\'m usually a vegetarian and vegetables and fruit cost next to nothing at the local market, especially if you hover around the stalls at four in the afternoon just as the market traders all want to sell out and go home. That\'s when you get the real bargains.</p>\n<h3>Food and friends</h3>\n<p>I\'ve made plenty of Western friends as well, which helps to keep your sanity. The couple who live next door, Rob and Patricia, are both digital nomads but they do a bit of teaching when sales of their five-dollar e-books are a bit slow. <br />If they\'re both feeling a bit flush on a Friday night, they\'ll say \"come on Jem, let\'s all go out and chase down a great big steak and fried onions. Our treat!\" I just laugh and say \"How many times have I told you guys I\'m a veggie?\" But I tag along just to keep them company.</p>\n<p>Later in the evening, with my stomach bloated and groaning from the most enormous steak and fried onions you ever set eyes on, we\'ll hit a few backpacker bars and get a little tipsy. But I never drink on a night before school. There are a couple of guys who turn up to work stinking of alcohol from partying the night before and I dread to think what the kids\' parents must think when they almost pass out from the fumes.</p>\n<h3>Putting something back</h3>\n<p>Many young people like me - who are out here to do a year of teaching or at least until their parents\' money runs out - will sign up to do some volunteer work with elephants. Elephants are the number one animal in Thailand as well as crocodiles. But whereas elephants roam wild in the forest, the crocodiles work mainly putting on shows for tourists.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t fancy working with elephants purely because it was &lsquo;something everyone else did\', so I volunteered to do several weekends at a gibbon sanctuary instead. The gibbons are just sooooooooo adorable. They recognize you the moment you walk into the camp and run up to have a cuddle. But the best part of all? Gibbons just love posing with you for selfies.</p>\n<h3>Out and about</h3>\n<p>Because I haven\'t been in Thailand all that long, my opportunities for travel have been limited. One of my teaching colleagues, David from Bristol, invited me to accompany him to the seaside resort of Pattaya (pronounced Pat-tie-ya) for the weekend. I wasn\'t keen on going because I\'d heard it was run by the Russian Mafia and appealed mainly to people into nightlife, but I went anyway. When we checked into our guest house, I wasn\'t feeling too good and decided to have a nap. Dave said he fancied going out for a walk along the beach road to take in a beautiful sunset over The Gulf of Thailand. He was gone for 9 hours.</p>\n<p>The bestest trip I\'ve done so far was by train to the north of Thailand, where I actually got the chance to stay at a remote hill-tribe village. I stayed as a guest of the village headman for two nights and I\'ve never experienced such warm hospitality. Apart from a pick-up truck, a fridge-freezer, an enormous flat-screen TV and a satellite dish, these people had got nothing!</p>\n<p>I\'m putting together quite a list of places that I want to see when I get the time (probably the next mid-term break) Firstly there\'s Kanchanaburi and all its connections to the war between England and Japan. Everyone knows the famous Bridge Over The River Kwai and I would love to walk from one end to the other if it\'s not too hot. There are also cematries and museums and lots of places to get a Thai foot massage.</p>\n<p>A nicer beach resort than Pattaya is Hua Hin, which takes about three hours to get to from Bangkok. I\'m hearing lots of good things about it and can\'t wait to go. Think of a quaint Thai fishing village where time has stood still for centuries but now has a Burger King. It sounds brilliant!</p>\n<p>I also plan to do Ayuthaya, which used to be the old capital of Thailand. It\'s known for its huge amount of temples but for a few hundred baht (depending on your negotiating skills) you can get a driver to take you round them all in a single day.</p>\n<h3>Jatujak and the story of the non-slip bath-mat</h3>\n<p>Today I went to Bangkok\'s weekend market or &lsquo;Jatujak\' as the Thais call it. Unfortunately, it felt like I had picked the hottest day of the year and my new purple tie-dye floppy fishermen\'s trousers were sticking to me in no time. The weekend market is a great place to pick up stuff for your apartment. I bought a couple of bath towels (25 baht each) and a bath-mat to stop me slipping when I get out of the shower. I think that was 70 baht for the bath-mat. I tried to knock the seller down to 100 baht for the three items and we went back and forth for a good ten minutes - but she wouldn\'t budge. The sweat was pouring off me. Oh and I also picked up a love bracelet made from leather and black onyx. That was a fixed price. 750.</p>\n<h3>Homesick</h3>\n<p>I call my family once a week on Skype video. Everyone gathers around the computer to hear all about my adventures and I\'ll admit to getting a bit teary when I speak to them. This is the longest I\'ve been away from home and there are so many things I miss, especially Mr Snaffles, my pedigree Pomeranian. But they hold him up to the screen and he recognizes my voice instantly.</p>\n<p>My Dad hates seeing me get upset and reminds me that anytime I want a break and to fly back home for a week or two, he\'ll put the money for a return ticket straight into my bank account. But will I ever even manage to pay back the 5,000 pounds he gave me as a going away present? I love you Daddy.</p>\n<p>OK, that\'s enough from me. I\'m off to get a tattoo.</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/jem3.jpg','2016-05-21 05:11:41',1,'2016-05-21 05:11:41','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30898,41,'The ten teaching English in Thailand commandments','the-ten-teaching-english-in-thailand-commandments','Tips and strategies to make your life easier','If you are new to Thailand, the following guide may help you to enjoy your time here and your classes more.

If you are a burned out, old pro, the following gentle &lsquo;reminder\' may reinvigorate your verve. Either way, it doesn\'t hurt to start off the new school year with a plan and the ideas here may help make your life easier for you and your students.</p>\n<p><strong>1 - Be predictable in the classroom.</strong></p>\n<p>&lsquo;Managing\' your classes and students can be an uphill battle without a consistent pattern of teaching and a routine that students can quickly identify with. This is especially important if you only have each class for one period a week. It\'s easy to see the time slip away without you having accomplished much.</p>\n<p>Typically, my classes start off with a &lsquo;Q and A\' session where I go around the classroom asking all the students a question or two. Next, I\'ll teach a prepared lesson with something on the board to hint at the subject matter. Finally, we\'ll spend a few minutes winding down with a game (Zingo is  brilliant!) or a video.</p>\n<p>I\'ve asked other teachers for their ideas and some have been really helpful, explaining their &lsquo;routines\' and others have adopted a <em>&lsquo;surprise them with my brilliant new and crazy idea for this week\'</em> method.</p>\n<p>It should come as no surprise that teachers with a consistent and predictable classroom approach have an easier time of it and get more teaching done.</p>\n<p><strong>2 - Lesson plans? We don\'t need no stinking lesson plans!</strong></p>\n<p>Actually, we do. But they need to have a purpose and not just be a template for you to kill time. Keeping kids busy is not the same as keeping them engaged and interested and I learned this the hard way.</p>\n<p>As most of us in Thailand are not monitored, assessed or trained to do the job, it\'s easy to get carried away by filling up classroom time with a hodgepodge of enthusiastic ideas that ultimately lead nowhere.</p>\n<p>Twenty minutes of grammar, twenty minutes of reading comprehension and finally twenty minutes of conversation... it\'s exhausting for you and your class.</p>\n<p>Instead of this, choose one area that you want to cover, state it clearly on the blackboard and make sure that the students understand the &lsquo;goal\' of the class before you start to teach it. If you do this, you will learn to focus less on what the kids are doing in your classroom and more on what you want to teach them.</p>\n<p><strong>3 - Let\'s practice what I preach!</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching something doesn\'t mean that it has been learned. You can &lsquo;teach\' an aspect of the English language till the buffaloes get mysteriously sick, but if it hasn\'t been absorbed by your students, you\'ve wasted your time.</p>\n<p>Students have to practice what they learn and kids in Thailand have to practice a lot before they learn anything! To this end it\'s important to grade kids not on what you have taught them  but what they have understood and practiced.</p>\n<p>Once you embrace this concept, teaching in Thailand becomes a whole lot less maddening! Too many teachers are banging their heads against a brick wall because they have confused teaching something with kids learning something.</p>\n<p>So when it comes to marking and grading the levels of students make sure they have had time to practice what you have preached.</p>\n<p><strong>4 - Meet the parents.</strong></p>\n<p>I spent many years teaching kids in Thailand and never even thought about anything outside the classroom. The idea of meeting parents wasn\'t something that I didn\'t want to do - it just didn\'t occur to me that there would be any value in it. I was wrong.</p>\n<p>In my experience, parents in Thailand have high levels of anxiety and concern when it comes to education for their kids. And it doesn\'t help that they feel alienated by the process and powerless to find out what\'s going on in the classrooms. Parents are well aware of the shortcomings of a public school education in Thailand and you can help to reassure them with a few friendly words about their children and about yourself.</p>\n<p>If the parents are not afraid to approach you, this will go a long way to alleviating many concerns and questions they have about you and what you are doing for them.</p>\n<p>This is easier said than done when you don\'t speak the language and parents are naturally reticent about making the first move to get your attention. But there are endless opportunities for you to get out there and make yourself approachable and recognizable as someone who can be trusted with their kids.</p>\n<p>It\'s one thing for your classes to say how wonderful you are - it\'s a new level of accomplishment when the parents feel the same way.</p>\n<p><strong>5 - Keep your distance.</strong></p>\n<p>This for me is very important. Never meet your students, their parents or other teachers (especially Thai teachers) outside the school <strong>for any reason whatsoever</strong>. I\'d go so far as to say, do your shopping in another town to avoid being seen.</p>\n<p>Let\'s be clear... EVERYTHING you do or say is a part of your ongoing resume. Every Facebook post, every time they see you in Big C shopping in your dressing gown and every time they see you in a bar. It\'s all ammunition that can be used against you.</p>\n<p>The biggest single career mistake teachers make is to get too friendly with the people around them and this always leads to trouble. I can regale you with anecdotal evidence that proves my point but I won\'t... just don\'t do it!</p>\n<p>Your carefully crafted image as a professional educator can disappear in a second the moment you are seen doing something (anything) unprofessional in your own time. Many times your behavior may seem innocuous to you but every little thing you do can be misconstrued and re-interpreted by an observer. It\'s all ammunition.</p>\n<p>Keep everything you do outside the school gates as private and as invisible as you possibly can.</p>\n<p><strong>6 - Boundaries in and out of the classroom.</strong></p>\n<p>As much as we want to be seen as a popular teacher, there are boundaries that your students should be very clear about from day one.</p>\n<p>Some of these should be common sense. Inviting your students to your Facebook page just screams disaster, right? But social media is also a very good way of extending your professional relationship with your students, too.</p>\n<p>I have created a Facebook page just for my students (past and present), fellow teachers and parents. No family and no foreigners. It\'s set so <strong>only </strong>my Facebook &lsquo;friends\' can see it and only I can post on the timeline.</p>\n<p>You should set your Instagram and Twitter to private, too. Like I said, everything about you online is a part of your resume and can be used as ammunition against you.</p>\n<p>At school, your students probably feel comfortable around you. Some will be more affectionate than others. But let\'s be clear... you are not their social worker, favorite uncle, friend or confidante. None of your interactions with anyone you teach or work with should be either overly familiar or worse, secretive.</p>\n<p>If troubled kids start to share their personal hells with you, redirect them to Thai teachers or someone in the office. If you are alone with one or two students then leave the door wide open. The stink of suspicion of impropriety never goes away.</p>\n<p><strong>7 - Teachers are learners, too.</strong></p>\n<p>If you\'re new to Thailand and teaching or just nervous about your ability and talent, don\'t keep it to yourself. The answers to all your questions may be in the next room, but you\'ll never know if you hide in your classroom.</p>\n<p>While teaching is something that comes easily to some, many of us will need some guidance to steer us in the right direction. Inexperience is nothing to be ashamed of. We have all had to do our apprenticeships, right?</p>\n<p>When asking for help, though, be specific. Identify an issue that needs resolving and then ask questions. &lsquo;How can I be a better teacher?\' is NOT a good example of what you should be asking. Instead, try &lsquo;I\'m supposed to be teaching the past progressive tense... how would <strong>you</strong> do it?\'</p>\n<p>At the end of the day, we do want to be better teachers so what\'s the best way to do that... besides teaching? Yep, that\'s right - watching other people teach.</p>\n<p>When I started out at a language school, I asked other teachers if they would mind if I sat at the back of the class and observed. Oh boy, this was an eye-opening experience. The teachers usually put on a good show and I managed to cherry-pick my way through loads of helpful information that helped to make me the teacher I am now.</p>\n<p>However, just as important as the positive things I learned, were what I discovered <strong>NOT</strong> to do in the classroom. It\'s only by watching other teachers teach, that you can learn what not to do in your own classes.</p>\n<p>The biggest tips on what NOT to do that I picked up from watching other teachers were things like...</p>\n<p>...not paying attention to the students and looking too much at the blackboard or screen.</p>\n<p>...using interjections like &lsquo;all right\', &lsquo;very well\', &lsquo;fair enough\', &lsquo;moving on\', etc. These annoying words may fill up the silence but they distract and confuse your Thai students.</p>\n<p>...I also learned to never assume that what I was teaching was actually sinking in. I was amazed watching teachers who seamlessly skipped on to new areas and unknowingly left behind confused and annoyed students.</p>\n<p>Your awareness of yourself in the classroom is important. Take a video of yourself teaching and play it back... you\'ll be surprised how much you can teach yourself!</p>\n<p><strong>8 - Know your subject.</strong></p>\n<p>Much of your confidence and skill as an English language instructor will come from how well you know your subject. If you\'re part of the Thai public school system, you may think that being a native English speaker is enough... and it usually is enough if all you want to do is coast through the work week.</p>\n<p>But knowing your subject well helps you to be able to distinguish between what is important to teach and focus on and what isn\'t.</p>\n<p>I\'m not saying that you need to be a linguistics expert. You certainly do not. But what you teach and how you teach it becomes a whole lot easier if you know why you are teaching it and have a good grasp of the &lsquo;science\' behind it, so to speak.</p>\n<p>Thailand has a legendary reputation amongst capable educators who have had to un-teach things that students have picked up as a result of the disastrous impact of misinformed and poorly equipped teachers.</p>\n<p>If you think back to your own school days, I\'ll bet the teachers you most admired were the ones most knowledgeable in their subjects. If you know your subject well and can break it down into bite-sized, learnable chunks, you\'ll be fondly remembered long after your students have left you and your school behind.</p>\n<p>Don\'t depend only on your English speaking ability as your ivory tower of competence. Know your subject.</p>\n<p><strong>9 - Feel the burnout!</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching in Thailand requires a lot of time and energy. It\'s not a profession that is well rewarded, either. There are frustrations and obstacles that will test your verve. <em>(See, I used that word twice. Because I bloody like it, that\'s why!)</em></p>\n<p>It\'s vital that the values that you were raised on don\'t get the better of you in Thailand. They don\'t apply here and you won\'t change that by getting angry.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get caught up in the mindset of other teachers. Misery can be contagious!</p>\n<p>Learn to (respectfully) say &lsquo;no\'... or at least learn to lie and say &lsquo;yes\'!</p>\n<p><em>\"A meeting on Sunday at 7 in the morning? Sure, I\'ll be there. I\'ll bring the donuts!\"</em></p>\n<p>Don\'t go. You won\'t be missed and even if you are, you were sick, right?</p>\n<p>There are symptoms of burnout... like exhaustion, detachment from your work, feelings of being under-appreciated and of non-accomplishment. You won\'t wake up one day with full-on burnout... but eventually it\'s likely that working in Thailand with all its pros and cons, will eventually bring on these symptoms.</p>\n<p>There\'s plenty of advice on the internet on how to deal with work burnout. But I\'d say - most important is to make yourself and your well-being number one.</p>\n<p><strong>10 - And, so finally...</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m an English teacher, not a maths teacher! Isn\'t nine enough to be going on with?</p>\n<h3>Marko</h3>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/commandments2.jpg','2016-05-22 18:34:26',1,'2016-05-22 18:34:26','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30902,71,'The end of an academic year','the-end-of-an-academic-year','It\'s a hectic team for teachers especially','International schools are approaching the end of the year now, and for both teachers and students, it\'s among the peak stress periods of the year.','<p>International schools are approaching the end of the year now, and for both teachers and students, it\'s among the peak stress periods of the year.</p>\n<p>Just within the last week, for example, my school has had prom (which was more like a banquet, if you ask me), a huge school-wide spring concert (featuring West Side Story and several other bits), middle and high school finals (almost two weeks prior to the end of the school year), and senior graduation (which, for some reason, also at occurs two weeks before the end of the normal school year).</p>\n<p>Simultaneously are end of the year student projects and portfolios, grading finalisation and comments, and school accreditation/department/event meetings.</p>\n<h3>Advance planning for a change</h3>\n<p>On top of these \"typical\" things, teachers have been generally told what courses they are to teach next year (wow, in advance!), and are thus having to organise book orders, syllabi, and \"schemes of work\" providing general year-long plans of what is to come next year. This is especially difficult for teachers that are getting many new \"lines\" next year (like me); although I still crack a grin every time someone asks me about my \"lines\" (lingo for courses, not cocaine),</p>\n<p>I\'ve thus far been set up with five different classes (three of which are new, thus unplanned, for me), and planning-wise, there\'s no grinning to be had. Unless I can convince the headmaster otherwise, I\'m currently slated to prep and plan for grade 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 courses, and because of the vertical nature of my assignments, there\'s nothing I can really duplicate between any of them. Cue the violin.</p>\n<p>Mayhem. And how do I deal with it? Well, I write a blog posting, obviously.</p>\n<p>When I used to teach in a Thai school English Programme (EP), the end of the term generally consisted with... well, writing and grading finals the last week of school (one of the few times when a Thai school makes more sense than an international school), and being forced to sign in for no apparent reason the month after. Sure, there was some amount of stress, but the feel was far more sabai sabai (chill).</p>\n<h3>Gossip</h3>\n<p>I\'ve noticed that the end of the year stress also brings on a stronger &lsquo;office gossip\' mill too, which has a nasty habit of getting in the way of doing all those finalising tasks that are far more pressing. One of the things I miss most about working in a Thai school is having no idea of what office politics were going on, nor having to care (not speaking Thai has its advantages), whereas working with a bunch of farangs (foreigners) means there\'s little way to avoid it all.</p>\n<p>Meh.</p>\n<p>Still, even with these negatives and high end-of-the-year workload in a different style school in Bangkok, I do at least get to find some solace in seeing a more tangible level of progress with my students than I\'ve measured in years past. Oh, and I can have a coffee maker in my room. Does this fully counter the exponentially higher workload?</p>\n<p>Ask me if/when I survive the end of the year.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

I had wanted to run a marathon for years, so when the opportunity came to run one in Chiang Mai with a friend, I immediately signed up.</p>\n<p>I really did not know what to expect. I had run several half marathons before, but a marathon was a different beast. I knew that nutrition was important for that long of a run and that I needed to build up to long distances during training. Unfortunately, I ignored this information.</p>\n<h3>Less than ideal prep</h3>\n<p>Busy with work in the month leading up to the race, I was unable to build up my mileage. I did run two \"long\" runs (&gt;20 km), one around 25 km in length and another around 34 km. All I remember about the 34 km run is that I was hot and miserable. If one chooses to run long distances in Bangkok, I recommend finishing before 8 am. 11 am is not a fun time to be towards the end of a 20-mile run.</p>\n<p>Flights to Chiang Mai normally go for 4-5000 baht round trip, but, since this was Valentine\'s Day weekend, they were going for that much each way. I chose to fly back on Sunday, but I took a bus up Friday night. This turned out to be bad idea.</p>\n<p>There were no buses left when I arrived at the bus station, so I was stuck on a minivan with no room to stretch my legs. My legs were already in pain when I arrived in Chiang Mai. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen and hoped for the best. I spent the rest of the day meeting up with old friends, drinking coffee, and carbo-loading. Before I went to bed for my 1:45 am wake up time, I ordered a venti coffee from Starbucks and put it in my fridge.</p>\n<h3>It\'s race time</h3>\n<p>It was a relatively cool day at the start, and the first 30 km or so went off without a hitch. My friend and I easily kept pace with the 4-hour pacers, as we had planned to do. At kilometer 30 though, my friend got a cramp. I thought about going ahead, but it was my first marathon, and I was not really running for time. In addition, I had been feeling a strong pain in the side of my left knee for almost an hour.</p>\n<p>I had been taking advantage of the nearly ubiquitous aid stations by putting numbing spray on my leg at each one. I knew I could keep up at the pace we were going, but I also knew that doing so could involve risking long-term injury. After going at a slow jog for 10 km or so, I went ahead for the last three kilometers in order to beat a 4:15 time. I ended up a couple minutes behind that, but I was okay with that time for a first attempt at the marathon. I hobbled away from the finish and waited for my friend, who finished 15 minutes later.</p>\n<p>It turned out later that the pacers we were running with finished in 3:40. I was actually pleased with that piece of news since I knew I could have kept up that pace if I chose to do so. I am glad I didn\'t though, as running even at my slowed pace hurt my knee quite a bit, and I was unable to run properly for a month. If I had not slowed down, I might have been incapacitated for much longer (this is why people should train properly for marathons).</p>\n<h3>A great experience</h3>\n<p>Overall, running the marathon in Chiang Mai was a great experience. The running weather was much better than that in Bangkok, and I was able to see just how different a marathon was from a half-marathon.</p>\n<p>In a 10k or half-marathon, often I will get out of breath from pushing my speed. In the marathon, even during the first 30 kilometers, my per kilometer pace never went faster than about 5 minutes and 30 seconds. This kept my heart rate at about 150-160 beats per minute, so I never felt out of breath and was able to continue conversation easily for the whole race.</p>\n<p>However, my legs truly gave out. I never hit what is called \"the wall\" since I slowed down when my friend got a cramp in his leg. Yet, after 30 km, my legs did feel as if I had been standing in line for days, and, as I mentioned above, I only continued running through copious use of an analgesic spray.</p>\n<h3>Going through the pain barrier</h3>\n<p>The marathon is not so much about being in shape as about pushing oneself through pain. Training is necessary to reduce injury, and I should have done a lot more, but the race is more about pushing one\'s every muscle than one\'s circulatory system.</p>\n<p>This is why one should only run a marathon every three months or so, as the millions of microscopic tears in one\'s muscles need time to heal. The pain can get pretty miserable. If anyone plans on running a race in a new city and then doing tourist activities, I recommend running a nice half marathon to see the city and then doing other activities in the afternoon. If you run a marathon in the morning, you will not be at all functional for around 36 hours, and certainly for 12. There goes your vacation.</p>\n<p>I imagine these lessons will apply even more to the 50 kilometer ultra-marathon I am running in 10 days, where it is acceptable to walk up hills and, unlike in the marathon, no one cares about your time as long as you finish.</p>','','2016-05-25 21:04:28',1,'2016-05-25 21:04:28','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30904,10,'Why I never treat Thai tradespeople like shit','why-i-never-treat-thai-tradespeople-like-shit','It\'s definitely a part of being \'British\'','Old habits die hard I suppose - but I\'m always proud that treating tradespeople with respect and kindness is one aspect of British culture that I brought to Thailand with me - and one that I\'ll hopefully never give up on.','<p>Let\'s begin with an English lesson and a couple of definitions.</p>\n<p>A bung (<em>noun, slang</em>) - a small financial gift often given to tradespeople as an appreciation for services rendered. <br />A drink (<em>noun, slang</em>) - see <em>&lsquo;bung\'</em>.</p>\n<h3>An old school sparky</h3>\n<p>During his working life, my father was an electrician. And he was a damn fine one too. He had a solid reputation for quality work and he always tidied up after himself. His mantra was \"I treat your home like I would treat my own\"</p>\n<p>Apart from holding down his regular day job for Birmingham City Council and looking after the wiring in many of the city\'s most important buildings, he made money on the side by &lsquo;doing foreigners\' (a British slang expression for cash-in-hand payments from friends and neighbors).</p>\n<p>Faulty light switch? Broken wall socket? My dad was your man. No job was too small.</p>\n<p>And of course one of the greatest benefits to being a good, honest tradesman was when people slipped a five or ten-pound note in your top pocket as you gathered up your tools and made for the exit door.</p>\n<p><em>\"Lovely job John. There you go. Have a drink on me\"</em></p>\n<p><em>\"Thank you for coming at such short notice John. There\'s a little something for your trouble\"</em></p>\n<p><em>\"Thanks John. Get yourself a packet of fags\"</em></p>\n<p>Bungs, drinks - call them what you will - they were always gratefully accepted.</p>\n<p>My Dad packed in work shortly after his 52nd birthday and retired to a country finca with its own swimming pool in a beautiful corner of Spain. Those bungs and drinks soon added up. And as my Dad always used to say - &lsquo;a good electrician, plumber or motor mechanic is never out of work\'</p>\n<p>I grew up in a &lsquo;bung culture\' as well. I was barely 15 years old when I got my first Saturday job working at a greengrocer\'s for ten pounds a day. Those extra pound coins slipped into your pocket by customers for carrying a heavy box of fruit and veg to their car meant the world to a young lad obsessed with spending money on records and clothes.</p>\n<p>So thanks for the life story Phil but what\'s this got to do with living in Thailand? Well quite a lot in fact.</p>\n<h3>Good tradespeople are tough to find</h3>\n<p>Even though I\'ve been here for well over two decades, there are still aspects of Thai culture that I can\'t fathom out and probably never will. They are aspects of the culture that continue to fascinate and annoy me in equal measure. Welcome to today\'s topic - how badly Thais seem to treat tradespeople.</p>\n<p>In a relatively poor country like Thailand, you would think there\'d be a long line of odd-job men queuing up to unblock your sink or build you a nice little brick wall at the end of the garden, but over time I\'ve found the complete opposite to be true. The hard-working and reliable guys just ain\'t out there. So when you do find one, then take my advice - you hang on to him for dear life. You look after him and you keep him sweet. Good handymen in Thailand are like gold!&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>The magnificent Khun Prawit</h3>\n<p>For a number of years, Khun Prawit was always my go-to tradesman. Polite and cheerful and in his early 50s, he was the quintessential jack-of-all-trades and master of none. His business card (not that he ever carried any) said &lsquo;air-conditioning specialist\' but in truth Khun Prawit could turn his hand to anything.</p>\n<p>It was during one of his annual visits to the house - to perform maintenance on all the air-conditioners - that he nodded towards my new flat-screen TV and offered to install cable TV with all the sports channels included - for just 6,000 baht. That wasn\'t 6,000 baht a year - that was a one-off only payment. I bit the man\'s hand off and the following day I had a cable TV box, every TV channel on earth and a remote control almost as big as the sofa.</p>\n<p>I gave him 6,000 baht and a couple of hundred on top for a job well done. That was the bung. Every time Khun Prawit came to the house to repair something, regardless of how small the task, I always put a little drink in his shirt pocket.</p>\n<p>One morning when I turned on the TV and found I had no picture, I called Prawit on the phone and he was round within the hour. Perhaps he regarded me as &lsquo;the farang who always tips\' but who was I to care? There was an important football game that night and I needed my TV working. That was all that mattered!</p>\n<p>But whenever my mother-in-law called him to come out and inspect something faulty, Khun Prawit would find any excuse to no show - from being out of town on business to being laid up in bed with backache. And all because my mother-in-law never tips tradesmen.</p>\n<p>In fact on one occasion, she looked horrified when I gave Khun Prawit a 500 baht &lsquo;Christmas box\' (there\'s another very British tradition by the way)</p>\n<p>\"There\'s no need to give him that sort of money\" she would say \"he\'s a long-standing friend of the family\"</p>\n<h3>The way of the world</h3>\n<p>I\'ve never had the heart to tell her. Never had the inclination to explain to her how the world works. That tradesmen the world over - be they English, Thai, Russian or Chinese - all love a bung. And that\'s why when I shout for help, Khun Prawit is at the house in no time but when my mother-in-law does the same, it falls on deaf ears.</p>\n<p>So what have I observed when it comes to how many Thais treat tradespeople from the moment they roll up to the house in their battered old van? Firstly, the wai is sometimes never returned. I guess it\'s important that the tradesperson knows their place from the get-go. When it comes to the refreshment department, you\'ll make do with a dusty glass half-filled with tepid drinking water and be bloody thankful. And finally, there\'s no such thing as a bung or a tip.</p>\n<p>I\'ve watched my mother-in-law be presented with a 450 baht bill, fish a 500 baht note out of her purse and stand there and wait hands-on-hips for the change. And there will be me cringing in the background.</p>\n<p>Thais treat tradespeople like shit.</p>\n<p>I can\'t escape the fact that taking good care of tradespeople is a very British thing. While they\'re on the job, we British fuss over electricians, plumbers and the like with endless cups of tea or coffee and do anything to make sure they\'re comfortable. In fact I\'m smiling now as I recall times when my Dad would return home, muttering and cursing, from doing an electrical job where the property-owner had not offered him a single &lsquo;cuppa\' (cup of tea) all day long. It was known in the trade as \"doing a dry &lsquo;un\" - but such occasions were extremely rare.</p>\n<p>Old habits die hard I suppose - but I\'m always proud that treating tradespeople with respect and kindness is one aspect of British culture that I brought to Thailand with me - and one that I\'ll hopefully never give up on.</p>','','2016-05-25 23:23:06',1,'2016-05-25 23:23:06','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30907,41,'Teaching young Thai kids with no resources!','teaching-young-thai-kids-with-no-resources','How to be a success in the classroom with very few materials','‘How do I teach with no resources?\' Well, if you are new to Thailand and teaching and have just started at a new school this may be useful to you.','<p>One of the most popular questions around the online community of foreign teachers is &lsquo;How do I teach with no resources?\' If you are new to Thailand and teaching and have just started at a new school this may be useful to you.</p>\n<p>It\'s a nightmare scenario but still a very common situation here in Thailand...</p>\n<p>...your class has fifty noisy, sweaty, fidgety kids... the rusty fans that hang dangerously from the ceiling are all bark and no bite... you\'re on your own because the &lsquo;Thai teaching assistant\' that you were promised wasn\'t cloned in time for the new school year and worst of all the printing press hasn\'t been invented yet, so... NO BOOKS!</p>\n<p>Your mind is blank and you\'ve got an hour to kill. And then you\'ve got another 19 of those hours to kill before Friday when the minivan will ferry you off to the beach and you can kick up the sand and muse over the least painful ways to kill yourself.</p>\n<p>This is the most exhausting form of teaching. Actually, it can almost not be called teaching because your priorities have shifted from &lsquo;proper\' teaching to finding something to keep the kids (and yourself) busy. This means you\'ll have to come up with English language based activities in lieu of actually teaching the English language.</p>\n<p>Of course, activities do help the cause of learning English, but in properly resourced schools they play a smaller part in the grand curriculum of things.</p>\n<p>So - what are you going to do to earn that thousand dollars a month the agency has promised you?</p>\n<p>(Let\'s assume that the school director has gone for a lower model Mercedes and managed to cobble enough cash together to put a blackboard in each classroom. Let\'s also assume that you\'ve paid the friendly office girl the 500 baht deposit required for a stick of chalk.)</p>\n<h3>Simon says... you can kiss my mangosteen!</h3>\n<p>First of all, forget the &lsquo;Simon Says\' game. Every bright spark on the internet suggests this game, but I\'ve tried it and it\'s a disaster. By the time you\'ve managed to communicate the rules to the kids, it will be Friday and that minivan will be leaving without you.</p>\n<p>So - rule number one - <strong>always choose activities with no rules!</strong></p>\n<p>Here are just a few ideas that I have worked for me in the past.&nbsp;I\'ve chosen these ideas to share because I enjoyed them as much as the kids did.</p>\n<p>Stick with the activities that you most enjoy because there\'s nothing that stretches out a period of teaching more than doing something that you hate.</p>\n<h3>The warm up!</h3>\n<p>First, let\'s get them warmed up...</p>\n<p>It\'s strange how kids can find the energy to scream and shout in the playground but become suddenly mute when asked a question in the classroom. If you\'ve ever seen a tank full of guppy fish at feeding time, well, you\'ll know what I mean.</p>\n<p>Get all the kids to shout out loud. Making loud noises is great fun and it\'s good to let the kids know that it\'s OK to do it. Go around the class and make every kid shout as loud as he can. Some of them will be crap at shouting to start with, but they\'ll soon get the hang of it.</p>\n<p>OK, everyone\'s had a good shout... let\'s get on with the class, shall we?</p>\n<p>Let\'s start with a nice easy activity...</p>\n<h3>1 - The Isaan iPad!</h3>\n<p>What the f... the Isaan iPad? Yes, you too can bring tech into the classroom. All you need are some plates and some salt. Yeah, you can see where I\'m going with this already, can\'t you!</p>\n<p>These iPads don\'t have WiFi but you can still connect to the kids by getting them to write words in the salt. It\'s brilliant and messy fun, too. Say a word, write a word on the blackboard or show them a picture or flashcard...</p>\n<p>There\'s no &lsquo;ctrl-alt-del\', but a simple shuffle of the plate gets you back to a clean slate.</p>\n<p>See, you\'re already glad you clicked on this link, right?</p>\n<h3>2 - \"soo pa ka la fra ja liss tee eks pee a lee do shus\"</h3>\n<p>Mary Poppins to the rescue!</p>\n<p>OK, let\'s try something a little more challenging but even more fun... Phonics made easy!</p>\n<p>(I\'ve killed hundreds of hours with this one. It\'s bloody great fun for me, too!)</p>\n<p>Write &lsquo;soo\' on the top left-hand side of the blackboard. Make sure all the kids can say it. Go around the class and get them all to have a go. Now write &lsquo;pa\' next to it. Get the kids to shout &lsquo;soo pa\' while you point to the &lsquo;sounds\' on the blackboard. Now write &lsquo;ka\' next to &lsquo;pa\'... keep going till they can recognize the sounds of the letters and say the entire word.</p>\n<p>\"soo pa ka la fra ja liss tee eks pee a lee do shus\"</p>\n<p>You can make this game last all day. I promise you that the kids will have fun eventually learning the whole word. And when they have they can show off to their classmates. You can even make a competition out of it... girls versus boys.</p>\n<p>Make sure they pronounce all the &lsquo;s\' sounds especially the &lsquo;eks\' one.</p>\n<p>This activity is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!</p>\n<h3>3 - Conversation time.</h3>\n<p>Conversation is important and can only come from a native English speaker. While the Thai teachers can teach the kids reading, some grammar and writing, only you can teach them talking. If you pop into the English classes at your school, you\'ll find out that the kids never do any talking so this aspect of learning English is on you.</p>\n<p>Write the following conversation on the blackboard AND on two pieces of paper.</p>\n<p>(I\'ve presented the conversation here with bold type for boys and normal type for girls but on a board or on paper you can use different colours)</p>\n<p><strong>Hello.</strong></p>\n<p>Hi.</p>\n<p><strong>How are you?</strong></p>\n<p>I\'m fine, thank you.</p>\n<p><strong>What is your name?</strong></p>\n<p>My name is Mary.</p>\n<p><strong>Goodbye.</strong></p>\n<p>Bye.</p>\n<p>First, practice the entire conversation with the whole class from the blackboard.</p>\n<p>Next, get a girl and a boy to stand up. Hand them the dialogs you have written on the paper and guide them through the conversation. You can keep the whole class involved by working through the dialog on the blackboard while the kids are saying it.</p>\n<p>Change the colors on two new pieces of paper when you want the girls to ask the questions.</p>\n<p>Of course, you can vary the level of the conversation to the level of your students... but always start off with very simple dialogs that they understand so they get used to speaking out loud and in front of everyone.</p>\n<h3>4 - The Dicey Numbers game!</h3>\n<p>This one does require a little more planning.</p>\n<p>Go to Google images and print off a &lsquo;cube template\' on card to make two dice.</p>\n<p>On one template write the numbers 1 to 6 and the other template write the numbers 7 to 12.</p>\n<p>Make the cubes and reinforce them with tons of transparent sticky tape to make them more robust.</p>\n<p>On the blackboard at the top write &lsquo;4 and 9 is 13\'. (Underline the two words.)</p>\n<p>Also, write &lsquo;100\' on the board. (This is the target of the game.)</p>\n<p>Divide the class into teams. It doesn\'t matter how many.</p>\n<p>You can do boys versus girls or groups of five or six.</p>\n<p>Each team gets a turn rolling the dice and must say out loud the total of their score as it is written on the board.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;2 and 9 is 11\' or &lsquo;3 and 7 is 10\', etc.</p>\n<p>Keep scores on the blackboard till a team reaches 100.</p>\n<p>You can change the numbers on your dice to the level of your students, of course.</p>\n<p>More teams make the games longer as will a higher target.</p>\n<p>Also, if you have time, you can ask the teams to come up with a name for themselves.</p>\n<p>They\'ll come up with names like &lsquo;Harry Potter\', &lsquo;K Pop\' or &lsquo;Hello Kitty\', etc.</p>\n<p>(It will take them ages, though and they\'ll argue about the name of their team forever so make sure you have an extra twenty minutes for this or you can name the teams yourself.)</p>\n<h3>And so finally...</h3>\n<p>Well, I had some other ideas that I have used in the past but I noticed that this article was getting too long. So that\'s it for this piece.</p>\n<p>If you have some ideas for teachers with no resources please take the time to add them to the comments section below. Also, let us know how you get on with the ideas suggested if you have tried them.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, as you\'re kicking up the sand on the beach this Saturday, remember... you are not alone.</p>\n<p>Killing yourself is not the answer!</p>\n<p>Good luck,</p>\n<p><strong>Mark Newman</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2016-05-29 20:28:07',1,'2016-05-29 20:28:07','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30910,20,'More adventures in rural Thailand','more-adventures-in-rural-thailand','My first semester at a Thai government school','I\'ve now worked at a rural government school for a whole semester. I thought I might share with you my account so far, with some practical advice that may help ease your transition to teaching in Thailand.','<p>It\'s now been nine months, living and teaching in Thailand. In that time I\'ve worked at a rural government school for a whole semester.</p>\n<p>Previously I\'d taught in the UK, from greater London to middle England, at various levels for twenty years. Yet it\'s my first time teaching conversational English as a subject, in a foreign country.</p>\n<p>I thought I might share with you my account so far, with some practical advice that may help ease your transition to teaching in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Layout</h3>\n<p>I\'ve worked in all manner of classrooms shapes and sizes. The dreaded &lsquo;L\' shaped room, a five hundred seater seminar hall, construction site noise next door,  no air con. I\'ve currently got five fans, of which four are working. The classroom has a projector and screen, which I have to tie down when it gets a bit breezy. I also have those antiquated desks and chairs. The ones with graffiti, dating back to the seventies. Most classrooms have them arranged in an exam style.</p>\n<p>I prefer the &lsquo;U\' shaped arrangement. There\'s about forty chairs and desks, space permitting I keep them as a large &lsquo;U\' shape with another small &lsquo;U\' within. This allows all the students to face you and the board as well as you being able to see their faces and keep their attention. Breakout arrangements are fine but you\'ll always have some students that need to arch their neck round to face you or the board. The &lsquo;U\' shape gives you enough space to walk around the class to check on learners and space for practical activities. Also useful for those times you need to play charades.</p>\n<h3>Planning</h3>\n<p>As with most aspects of teaching, it is paramount to set up some list of &lsquo;classroom rules\'. This also makes for a good first session with your learners to help establish rules in the classroom, whereby they will list them in Thai and their English equivalent.</p>\n<p>I have a whole lesson plan about their school, which is great for the new arrivals. Throughout my time here I received a semesters worth of teaching resources from the agency I used to work with. I now work directly for the school. So the teaching aids I currently use are mostly my own, that I\'ve adapted from other sources. I put together a loose twenty weeks scheme of work and then a lesson plan for each week. Planning is key, but allow some room for adjustment. Being flexible is also a much needed attribute as a teacher, even more so in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Be prepared when they have unannounced activities taking priority over your class, ensure you keep track of each lesson. I tend to have a master lesson plan for each week, then adapt according to each level. This is mostly the case of pitching it at the correct level for Matthayom one and two, then adding some more stretch and challenge opportunities for levels three to six.</p>\n<p>Each student has a plastic file with their name, in English, to keep their worksheets from each session. The classroom is rather open to the elements, so plastic wallets are excellent. This is also a handy way to keep track on your learners. I\'ll receive a spreadsheet of all the groups that I can transfer to at the end of the semester. So make sure those paper registers are up to date.</p>\n<p>The students will also have hand me a copy of the register which I sign at the beginning of each class. Thais love paperwork, something I\'d become accustomed to in the UK, having everything done in triplicate.</p>\n<p>Now this advice may all sound rather &lsquo;serious\' but it gives you a lot of room in the class to feel at ease and then not take yourself too seriously.</p>\n<h3>Etiquette</h3>\n<p>Once the classroom\'s set, it\'s time for the students to arrive. With Matthayom one and two I\'m a little bit stricter on classroom etiquette. Before the lesson starts I get all the students to take off their shoes and remain seated outside the class in one line. I have a clipboard with register and lesson plan to hand, then allow them to walk in one at a time to stand behind their chairs, bags under their desk.</p>\n<p>As I walk into the center of the classroom, we all greet as one, then I allow them to be seated. I like to establish a sense of authority, also by walking into the classroom and standing in the center of the &lsquo;U\' arrangement informs the students to be quiet. This is a good technique to establish when you need to get the whole class\'s attention. I rarely have to raise my voice and you won\'t need to shout. In fact, never shout as their teacher. You\'ll lose respect from the students.</p>\n<p>Losing ones cool in a classroom lacks professionalism of course and you\'re going to ruin your voice in a month. You\'ll find your own way of grabbing the class\'s attention, but the much practiced teacher &lsquo;look\' comes into its own at times.</p>\n<h3>Behaviour</h3>\n<p>Having established some ground rules you\'ll still get some minor issues in class. Punctuality can be a new concept for the students to grasp. Seeing as the lessons are timetabled back to back, I always expect some delay in students arriving on time. Any real latecomers, I make sure they politely ask permission to enter the class.</p>\n<p>I believe that the students I see offer less behavioral challenges in the class to my time in the UK. Some of the younger lads may get boisterous from time to time but I usually keep them busy in helping me in class with handing out and collecting worksheets. Plus it\'s always useful to have some extension tasks to hand for the faster leaners.</p>\n<p>I also like to get the students moving around the class such as helping complete answers on the whiteboard or facing the class to read out their work. Just remember, make the whole learning experience fun and engaging and you\'ll soon earn the students trust and respect.</p>\n<h3>Reflect</h3>\n<p>Whilst finishing a session with ease, due to all that planning you competed beforehand, I then get all students to stand to &lsquo;attention\' behind their chairs that they push under the table. Many Thai classrooms seem to like putting the chairs on the desks or under the desk at an askew angle. I guess my health and safety experience kicks in here, so those chairs stay right under their desks.</p>\n<p>I teach about fifteen hours a week so I have plenty of time for prep, checking students work and writing this blog. Its useful to reflect upon ones delivery and improve and adapt throughout the working week. I may not command the salary that I had in the UK, but it\'s a step up in the quality of life here. Hopefully this article will help make some of your experience teaching in Thailand that little bit more &lsquo;sabai sabai\'.</p>\n<h3>Nigel Quinn</h3>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in (from the same writer)....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-guests/going-with-the-flow\">Going with the flow - Getting a teaching job in rural Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/adventures-in-rural-thailand\">Adventures in rural Thailand - My first six months at a Thai government school</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students.gif','2016-05-30 23:29:44',1,'2016-05-30 23:29:44','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30912,75,'Interesting Thailand stuff - June 2016','interesting-thailand-stuff-june-2016','Another selection of interesting blog and article links','The rainy season is almost upon us.

A great read for Thai boxing enthusiasts!&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Let\'s slip in another Thai human interest story - this time a young lady by the name of&nbsp;Suwattana \"Mai\" Chanthalert, who is aiming to be <a href=\"http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1461043760&amp;section=14\">the first female pilot in the Thai Air Force</a>. Good luck Mai!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>OK, let\'s get back on to English teaching and the story of Mike, who arrived from The Philippines to try and secure a teaching position in Thailand. <a href=\"http://www.travelteachlearngrow.com/blog/teacher-mike/\">Mike\'s put together a photo-blog</a> to help take you through every step of his journey so far from first arrival, settling in and then finally applying for jobs. You\'ve done a good job there Mike.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Even though teachers may have worked in Thailand for some time and have no intentions of leaving at the moment, it\'s always fun to read how Thailand compares with other Asian countries as regards opportunities for chalkies. Here\'s Michael Allan Charles <a href=\"http://www.michaelallancharles.com/teaching-in-asia-blog/cambodia-versus-thailand\">with a few notes on Cambodia as an alternative TEFL destination</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>You can always rely on Richard Barrow to put together a quality teaching article. Richard needs no introduction as one of Thailand\'s best known teachers and social media contributers. This time around he\'s tackled the topic of <a href=\"http://www.thaischoollife.com/how-to-apply-as-a-teacher/\">applying for a job as an English teacher in Thailand</a>. Having worked at the same school for well over twenty years, he\'s seen it all. Who better than Richard to offer a whole bunch of valuable tips?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>There have been some interesting articles and blogs on the What\'s On Sukhumwit website recently. Let\'s start with Steph Johnson, who asks the question - <a href=\"http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/whats-the-problem-with-western-women-in-thailand/?utm_content=buffer3bd5b&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">What\'s the problem with Western women in Thailand?</a> Steph examines the attitudes of Western male expats who have settled in Thailand and their often cruel and unfair opinions of Western women (when primarily comparing them to Thai females of course)</p>\n<hr />\n<p>And while we\'ve got our \'social culture\' head on - <a href=\"http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/has-bangkok-become-too-western/?utm_content=bufferf396a&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">has Bangkok itself become too Westernized?</a> Interesting question. Jamie Harkis investigates.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Also from the What\'s On Sukhumwit website, are you looking to get out of Bangkok for the day but don\'t have a car? No problem! <a href=\"http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/9-of-the-best-day-trips-from-bangkok-no-car-required/?utm_content=bufferb88e1&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">Here are nine destinations within easy reach of the capital by public transport</a>. Why not let the train take the strain!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I know Paul Gibbs from Twitter and I would describe him as one very serious Bangkok cyclist. <a href=\"http://www.expatlifeinthailand.com/unseen-bangkok-cycling-the-khlongs/\">Paul\'s written a terrific blog on getting out and about on two wheels and exploring some of the city\'s klongs (canals)</a> The blog certainly made me want to get on a saddle and start pedalling. I can\'t begin to tell you how much I miss my cycling.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Edwards recently did a visa run to the Cambodian border, Poi Pet to be exact. <a href=\"http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/thai-visa-run-tales-the-road-to-poipet/?utm_content=buffere305d&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">This is his humorous account of the whole experience.</a> It\'s funny how I love reading about visa runs a lot more when I\'m not the poor devil who has to do them.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you don\'t fancy a visa run to Cambodia, then there\'s always Penang. I haven\'t been there for donkey\'s years and was never all that impressed but places do change of course and according to Chris and Angela, <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/easy-peasy-thai-visa-run-penang-malaysia/\">Penang offers the perfect opportunity for what they call \'an easy peasy visa run\'</a></p>\n<hr />\n<p>On a distinctly darker note, there seems to be more and more stories in the media concerning assaults on foreigners in Thailand. Has Thailand suddenly become dangerous? In his <a href=\"http://whatsonsukhumvit.com/why-you-shouldnt-fear-violence-against-foreigners-in-thailand/?utm_content=buffer1f06b&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">\'Why You Shouldn\'t Fear Violence in Thailand\'</a> article, James Newman doesn\'t think so - but he advises caution all the same.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Let\'s switch to a recent Thai immigration issue. Numerous on-line forums and expat discussion boards have been buzzing and getting their knickers in a twist over a new application form that is apparently being handed to foreigners whenever they go to their local immigration to do visa business such as extensions and 90-day reporting. The form requests foreigners to divulge personal information such as what social media platforms they use and bank account numbers, etc, etc. The Khaosod English website <a href=\"http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1460977949&amp;typecate=06&amp;section\">has gone some way to explaining the new requirement</a> and hopefully putting some people\'s minds at rest.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>There are plenty of folks interested in photography out there and photo-blogs are always popular. I really enjoyed this webpage <a href=\"https://www.eyeem.com/blog/2016/04/spotted-in-thailand-24-pictures-we-cant-take-our-eyes-off/?utm_content=buffercfa85&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter.com&amp;utm_campaign=buffer\">featuring 24 photographs that truly capture the essence of life in Thailand and its unique culture</a>. Top marks for some wonderful pictures.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Are you a Bangkok amateur or a Bangkok expert?

One of the most common questions they get asked is - is it safe to eat Thai street food? So as Chris and Angela usually do, <a href=\"http://tielandtothailand.com/safe-eat-thai-street-food/\">they\'ve put together a corking blog to answer that very question</a>.

Accept that you will never be the perfect teacher. Take classroom management seriously. Expect bad or negative things to happen. Finally, know exactly why the school has hired you.','<p>This article is NOT about actual teaching. It\'s more like an essay on preparing yourself for the role as a teacher in Thailand and some misconceptions that you can avoid to make your life easier, better and more rewarding.</p>\n<p>Okay, so you\'ve landed in Thailand, found somewhere to live and you start work as an English teacher in a couple of days. Congratulations - the easy part is over... but the real work is about to begin.</p>\n<p>Are you going to be one of the new teachers who burn out and bale out, then go home within a few months because it\'s nothing like what you were expecting it to be?</p>\n<p>The brochures mailed out from agencies and TEFL schools don\'t have too many photos taken from inside a typical Thai classroom. Those fellow &lsquo;teachers\' jumping for joy on the beautiful sandy beach are models hired to look happy! You sort of knew that but you fell for the dream anyway and decided to leave the comforts of home to &lsquo;make a difference\' to kids\' lives in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Well done, you!</p>\n<p>Here\'s a roundup of <em>musings that matter inside the classroom</em> that you might want to think about<em> before </em>you start teaching in Thailand. And even <em>after </em>you have started, it\'s worth keeping this reminder handy to remind yourself as the school year wears on.</p>\n<h3>1 - It\'s Thailand and the job\'s a piece of cake, right?</h3>\n<p>If you are expecting that the work week is going to fly by and every weekend is going to be spent on a new beach supping cocktails and scoffing crab salad, then you have a rude awakening coming to you.</p>\n<p>As a new teacher (or a teacher starting a new job) you\'ll be full of enthusiasm and ambitions of doing the best you can for the kids you teach.</p>\n<p>The single biggest reason new teachers give up on their jobs is the way they deal with events that knock the wind out of their sails when they find out that many of the promises they were made before they started are now being broken.</p>\n<p>These broken promises start to pile up early and often... the classes don\'t have an assistant as promised... nothing works... you are required to work more hours than agreed... the &lsquo;well-behaved kids\' you had read about, are being taught in another galaxy, far, far away!</p>\n<p>So how are you going to react? Lay the blame on the people you work for/with? Simply quit? Take it personally and start hating your job?</p>\n<p>This is Thailand and these things are likely to happen... if you are serious about staying here and working here then knowing that bad things happen to good people like you is the entire battle fought and won. If you\'re expecting the worst then it\'s no really big deal when it happens.</p>\n<p><strong>So, musing number one: Don\'t come to Thailand with the idea that nothing bad is going to happen. It will.</strong></p>\n<h3>2 - You don\'t need to tell me - I KNOW!</h3>\n<p>First, even if you speak the English language well and you were born and raised in an English-speaking country, you probably don\'t know as much about the English language as you think you do.</p>\n<p>Next, let\'s just throw everything &lsquo;English\' you have learned out the window. None of that theoretical claptrap is going to help you in Thailand. Whether you studied education at university or did a four week TEFL/scuba diving course, not much of this is going to help you in a real Thailand classroom.</p>\n<p>When I was at university most of what I &lsquo;learned\' was trendy theory and the perverted politics of mental lecturers. There wasn\'t much I took from that education that steered me into any useful path that employers found particularly valuable. In Thailand at least the bit of cardboard at the end of it got me a job.</p>\n<p>But that didn\'t stop me from thinking that I knew it all. I was cock-of-the-walk when I landed my first well-paid gigs in Thailand disproving all the other farangs I worked with who said that I would never get much more than they had managed to settle for.</p>\n<p>I spent the next few years learning what I was teaching and that process is ongoing. Knowing your subject well, will make your life so much easier when you\'re trying to teach it.</p>\n<p><strong>So, musing number two: Do you know it all or at least enough to do a good job. Probably not. We NEVER do.</strong></p>\n<h3>3 - Trying to be the perfect English teacher.</h3>\n<p>You have the training stored in your brain, your intentions are noble and you\'re gonna kick ass. They\'re gonna love you!</p>\n<p>Step back for a moment and consider this... You do not have the energy it takes, nor the knowledge and character to be the perfect teacher. None of us do. There are no perfect teachers and if there were they would not be looking for a job in Thailand paying a few hundred bucks a month. These saintly people are teaching the good kids in that galaxy, far, far away!</p>\n<p>Even if you work really hard, do extra stuff, pile up the hours and put your personal life on the backburner (I\'ve done this) you won\'t be perfect. You\'ll have bad days and you\'ll make mistakes. We all go through rough patches and we all do stuff at work that we regret.</p>\n<p>Not only that, your students are going to suck and their achievements may well fall below what you had envisaged. The effort you put into test preparation may not yield the results you were hoping for. That extra project you spent a bloody week of your own time on, may be a disaster!</p>\n<p>Don\'t blame yourself and don\'t think that everything is hopeless after you screw things up.</p>\n<p><strong>So, musing number 3: Don\'t try too hard to be the perfect teacher. It\'s an unattainable goal.</strong></p>\n<h3>4 - Class management? That\'s why I have this big stick!</h3>\n<p>Guess what one of the biggest reasons that teachers quit Thailand is? It\'s classroom management and control... or rather the lack of training and knowledge of this subject and the resulting frustration it causes.</p>\n<p>If you can\'t learn &lsquo;classroom management\' effectively then you\'re facing a very bleak future in Thailand. With very young students it doesn\'t matter so much but with anyone over the age of, say, 10 years old, you had better have a good plan for this.</p>\n<p>It\'s no good blaming bad management or &lsquo;the system\' or other teachers for this... because this one is all on YOU!</p>\n<p>And don\'t think that being a good teacher is enough to get you through this. It\'s not enough to be an engaging and enthusiastic educator... It\'s not enough to have a good lesson plan ready and the entire knowledge of your subject stuffed up somewhere in your brain... oh, and it\'s not enough to wield a big stick either!</p>\n<p>If you haven\'t done any homework on <em>&lsquo;Behaviour Management Strategies In The Classroom\'</em> then get on Google and YouTube and do it before you get in the classroom. This stuff matters from the very first day.</p>\n<p>But even if you decide that you don\'t need to prepare yourself for a gaggle of effervescent teenage ladyboys that will take over your class, then at least bear these tips in mind...</p>\n<p>Be caring but firm with your students.</p>\n<p>Know what\'s going on in your classroom.</p>\n<p>Be predictable and routine driven.</p>\n<p><strong>So, musing number 4: Take classroom management seriously. You should - it matters - it will save your sanity.</strong></p>\n<h3>5 - Understanding why you are hired.</h3>\n<p>Always find out as much as you can about why you have been hired. This will save you a lot of grief and maybe even your job!</p>\n<p>In the west, whatever we do for a living is graded and assessed. We are hired because of our enthusiasm for the job, our qualifications and potential ability.</p>\n<p>Have you been hired to make a real difference to the education of your students?</p>\n<p>Have you been hired to simply show up to a classroom and fill their &lsquo;farang quota\'?</p>\n<p>Are you being expected to re-write the entire school syllabus?</p>\n<p>Are you being expected to draw all the rabbits out of your own hat?</p>\n<p>Find out why you have been hired and focus your energies on fulfilling those expectations. Don\'t allow yourself to get bogged down and depressed by things that only matter to you and not your employer.</p>\n<p><strong>Finally, musing number 5: Have you been hired as a teacher to do a great job as an educator? It may not always be the case.</strong></p>\n<p>As with most jobs, you can make teaching English in Thailand a whole lot less stressful. It\'s not air traffic control, right? Don\'t allow the job to consume you before you\'ve given yourself a chance to make a cultural adjustment to your new home.</p>\n<p>Hang in there, be tolerant and open minded. Roll with the unexpected sucker punches.</p>\n<p>Or don\'t... maybe you were meant to be an English teacher, but just not here in Thailand, eh?</p>\n<p>Something else to muse on!</p>\n<p><strong>Marko</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-ten-teaching-english-in-thailand-commandments\">The ten teaching English in Thailand commandments -&nbsp;Tips and strategies to make your life easier</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/how-can-i-make-it-in-the-madness\">How can I make it in the madness? -&nbsp;The harsh reality of teaching in Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/teacher-mistakes\">Teacher mistakes -&nbsp;Avoid falling into any of these teacher traps</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/mistakes-that-long-term-teachers-make-in-thailand\">Mistakes that long term teachers make in Thailand -&nbsp;What do the old hands often do wrong?</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2016-06-07 00:00:44',1,'2016-06-07 00:00:44','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30937,59,'Language through art','language-through-art','What am I even doing in the art room?','I\'ve been a full-time English teacher at my school for 5 years now but I have never thought of becoming an Art teacher. So how did my official assignment as an Art teacher begin?','<p>I\'ve been a full-time English teacher at my school for 5 years now but I have never thought of  becoming an Art teacher. So how did my official assignment as an Art teacher begin?</p>\n<p>Well, our Thai Art and Social Studies teacher retired last term but so far there has been no replacement as yet so the school had to make use of me - a foreign teacher somewhat knowledgeable about art.</p>\n<p>Two years ago, two students I trained in Art won 1st and 3rd places out of 20 participating schools. So, whenever there were art competitions I would be encouraged by my coordinator to train and coach students.</p>\n<p>Last term, because I lacked two periods to complete my required number of teaching hours, I was given 2 classes more but I requested 2 art clubs instead. It was quite hard to manage because I was used to teaching small classes but I was able to handle them well.</p>\n<p>This term due to the ministry of education\'s directive of reducing student learning hours, and they really mean it because they will be monitoring these activities, the coordinator gave me 6 periods of Art classes one hour each from Grade 1 to Grade 6.</p>\n<p>In my mind, I was thinking that I was not needed anymore. I thought it was their way of getting rid of me as an English teacher because Thais are hard to work out sometimes. I thought that they no longer gave importance to the learning of English and I felt so bad.

Has it really been two years since I wrote a couple of blogs on the topic of my trying to finally get to grips with the Thai language?</p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-1\">The first instalment</a> focused on my motivation for taking Thai language study a lot more seriously - the much-needed kick-up-the-arse if you like. <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-2\">The second blog</a> was the story of finding the &lsquo;right\' Thai teacher and coming up with some effective learning strategies.</p>\n<p>So, two years on, I think it\'s time for &lsquo;My Struggles with the Thai Language Part Three\' &nbsp;- how far have I managed to get?</p>\n<h3>Still modest</h3>\n<p>According to the on-line Thai course that I have been using, I\'ve now reached the dizzy heights of &lsquo;upper intermediate\', and while I would never have the audacity to consider myself fluent at that level, I\'d like to think I\'ve become a very solid and competent &lsquo;intermediate level speaker\'. I can hold a decent conversation - and frequently do!</p>\n<p>I\'ve reached the stage where communicating in Thai gives me so much pleasure. And I think the more you learn and the better your range of expression becomes, so your &lsquo;thirst for knowledge\' increases. What Thai slang words can I learn today? What expressions can I slip into my conversations that will make my communication that bit more colourful, not to mention more impressive to the Thai listener?</p>\n<p>I really should have developed this attitude and done this years ago, instead of muddling along for so long and not being able to express myself as well as I needed to in so many situations.</p>\n<h3>Language exposure</h3>\n<p>Although I no longer set aside time each day to sit in front of my computer and plow through my on-line course as I did religiously in the past, I still strive to get at least thirty minutes of exposure to the Thai language every day without fail. It might be just having a casual conversation with the local fruit-seller or it may be just playing around with <a href=\"http://word-in-the-hand.com/thai-dictionary-for-iphone-ipad-ipod-touch/\">Paiboon\'s brilliant English-Thai talking dictionary</a> (the best 700 baht you will ever spend) but getting that daily exposure to the language is so important I feel.</p>\n<p>One new learning strategy I\'ve taken up is to carry around two small notebooks and a stubby pencil. Whenever I have a conversation in Thai, I\'ll make a mental note of which vocabulary I needed to help that conversation go more smoothly - but vocabulary I either simply didn\'t know or had studied before and forgotten. Once I\'m alone with my thoughts, I\'ll write that vocabulary - in English - in one of the notebooks. And then later in the day, I\'ll look up the words in Thai and write them down in my second notebook.</p>\n<p>I referred to it as a &lsquo;new learning strategy\' but of course the idea of carrying around a vocabulary notebook is as old as time. I can remember having a vocab book when I was an infant school student in short trousers. But it\'s a study tool that works! I\'ve built up a collection of probably a thousand new words (well, new to me anyway) and every time I get a spare ten minutes, I\'ll read through a few pages of my notebook and refresh my memory. It\'s all part of that daily exposure to the language.</p>\n<h3>Learning difficulties</h3>\n<p>Reaching upper-intermediate level hasn\'t been all plain sailing though and there are still hurdles to constantly overcome.</p>\n<p>My biggest issue is still deciphering which words Thai speakers actually use in everyday conversation and very often - believe it or not - Thai native speakers themselves only cloud the issue even further.</p>\n<p>Let\'s say I look up a completely new and more &lsquo;challenging\' word using the English - Thai talking dictionary, only to find that there are three Thai language translations. Which one of those three translations is used more commonly in everyday speech?</p>\n<p>If I\'m really unsure of which one to use, I\'ll turn to my three Thai sounding boards - my wife, my sister-in-law and my gym trainer.</p>\n<p>However, all too often, presented with the three Thai translations, my wife might say &lsquo;number one is easily the most commonly used and no one ever uses number three\'. My sister-in-law will then overrule her and say &lsquo;number two and number three are the best choices\' and finally my gym trainer will tell me that all three translations are acceptable.</p>\n<p>You can see the problem. Frankly speaking, I\'m none the wiser. This happens an awful lot I find.</p>\n<h3>Keep it simple, stupid!</h3>\n<p>Another interesting point - and maybe not one I agree with - is that my wife has criticized my spoken Thai for being &lsquo;over-complicated\'. I\'m guilty of trying to be too clever for my own good. I\'m not going for the easy option when I should be. There are many examples I could give you to illustrate the problem but here\'s just one.</p>\n<p>My wife and I were enjoying a spot of lunch at one of our favorite Thai restaurants in Samut Prakarn. There are two sections to the restaurant - a cheerless air-conditioned section which I would describe as &lsquo;a clinic with windows\'. And then an outdoor section where you\'re surrounded by well-established tropical plants and all of nature\'s glorious bounty. Even on a steamy hot day, we\'ll invariably opt to sit in the outdoor area.</p>\n<p>Admiring the plants as I often do, I asked my wife how one would use Thai language to say \"the environment is conducive to healthy plants\'</p>\n<p>\"A Thai person would never say that\" came the disappointing and not unexpected response. \"A Thai person would say the plants look beautiful - and leave it that\"</p>\n<p>\"But I don\'t want to say the plants look beautiful\" I snapped, \"I know how to say that already. The word &lsquo;conducive\' is a lovely word. There\'s nothing wrong with it. &lsquo;The plants look beautiful\' and &lsquo;the environment is conducive to healthy plants\' are two entirely different ideas\"</p>\n<p>There\'s no stopping me when I\'m in that sort of cantankerous mood.</p>\n<p>But my wife was adamant. I was trying to be too clever. I was overcomplicating things unnecessarily. I should just stick to what I know.</p>\n<p>So what happens is that I\'m left feeling deflated. I had years and years of travelling around Thailand on the same ten adjectives and their negatives - expensive, beautiful, delicious, good, hot, far - I\'m boring myself even typing them out, let alone when I\'m saying them. What\'s wrong with wanting to spread my linguistic wings?</p>\n<p>Anyway, all the very best of luck with your Thai studies.</p>','','2016-06-10 22:25:36',1,'2016-06-10 22:25:36','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(30986,85,'Getting along with your neighbors','getting-along-with-your-neighbors','How\'s the modern day relationship between Thailand and Myanmar?','The Myanmar view of Thailand is that of a role model. Myanmar longs for the relative prosperity that Thailand has achieved in the last 20 years','<p>Two nations. Neighbors. They share so many similarities. From their size and shape: both have clover shaped mainlands with long, southern panhandles; to religion: perhaps the two most Buddhist nations on the planet. Myanmar and Thailand mirror each other in numerous ways.</p>\n<p>Despite these similarities, there has been a divide between the two nations that\'s been one of the biggest chasms in ASEAN.</p>\n<h3>\'Mistrust\'</h3>\n<p>Given their shared past, their mistrust of one another can be understood. Throughout history, Burmese armies have marched into Siam and wreaked havoc, culminating in the late 18th Century when the Bamar sacked Ayutthaya, ending a Thai dynasty that had lasted 500 years.</p>\n<p>Millions of Thais visit the ruins of their former capital every year and remember. Some of them carry a grudge. At the same time, the modern word for \"Thailand\" in the Burmese language is \"ayudya\".</p>\n<p>In Myanmar, there\'s some resentment and jealousy over Thailand\'s economic success over the last 20 years. Back in the 50\'s, Burma was more prosperous than Thailand. At that time, it wouldn\'t have seemed likely that Thailand\'s GDP per capita would be five times that of Myanmar a couple generations later.</p>\n<p>Myanmar is Asia\'s second poorest nation; Thailand is on the verge of being considered a developed country.</p>\n<h3>Good relations</h3>\n<p>On the other hand, Myanmar-Thailand relations have never been better. Hundreds of thousands of Thais come to Myanmar every year as tourists, specifically to visit the numerous Buddhist holy sites in the Golden Land.</p>\n<p>Unlike their other neighbors of Cambodia and Laos, over which many Thais feel an attitude of superiority, there\'s a level of respect for Myanmar. From my observations, Thai people have come to recognize that their western neighbor, albeit a historical enemy, is an equal, particular since their levels of democracy have flipped dramatically in the past couple years.</p>\n<h3>\'Migrant workers\'</h3>\n<p>The Myanmar view of Thailand is that of a role model. Myanmar longs for the relative prosperity that Thailand has achieved in the last 20 years. A couple of million Myanmar are in Thailand today, migrant workers doing everything from manual labor to selling T-shirts on Khaosan Road.</p>\n<p>Although not the same in numbers, with the arrival of the AEC, professional Thais can come without restriction to Myanmar and bring their expertise to Asia\'s fastest growing economy. They\'re needed too.</p>\n<h3>\'Complicated\'</h3>\n<p>All in all, the relationship between Thailand and Myanmar is very complicated. In trying to understand it, one can\'t help but think of comparisons with other pairs of neighboring countries. Japan and Korea? No, their connection has been much more one sided. The USA and Canada? No, they speak the same language.</p>\n<p>Seems to me that Thailand and Myanmar are a lot like the UK and France. Centuries of conflict, with eventually, due to economics, one side achieving ascendency. Modern realities have drawn these countries back together. For 125 years, England and France have been true equals and allies. There really isn\'t any animosity nor prejudice between the peoples of the two lands, which is quite a change from past centuries.</p>\n<p>Thailand and Myanmar\'s relationship is becoming the same way. Lets hope this trend continues as the whole world is better off when neighbors get along.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I also have a YouTube page with lots&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">more stuff about the teaching lifestyle in Myanmar</a></p>','','2016-06-17 00:29:03',1,'2016-06-17 00:29:03','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(31023,90,'Decisions, decisions','decisions-decisions','Is it time to stick or twist? To leave Thailand or stay?','I came to Thailand for an adventure but I fear the adventure is nearing its end. There is a new journey to start and I\'m hopeful its one that can begin - but for now I\'m feeling a bit stuck.','<p>I remember it was so easy to pack my bags and come to Thailand but it is proving much harder to pack them and leave the land of smiles. Now as I enter my fourth year in Thailand I am beginning to wonder If I will ever leave or If I will slowly but surely become stuck here even if I want to move away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>About 2 years ago I was about ready to leave Bangkok; I had had enough of the traffic, pollution and way of life. I might have stayed in Thailand or checked out another country but I wouldn\'t have gone back to the UK at that point. It was about that time I met a special girl....</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now I still hate the traffic and pollution but have someone amazing to live here with. I bought a condo last year and things are going great. However, my Thai girlfriend lived in New York for a year before I met her and is keen on living overseas again. It has put us in a limbo where we are thinking about leaving Thailand but there are many hurdles to jump and other factors keeping us here.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Job options</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL teachers in the UK seem to get around $15 -20 per hour or around $25,000 a year for the better jobs which wouldn\'t be enough to meet the visa requirements to support a Thai partner in the UK. There is the option of getting a better paying job but I would hate to go back into sales and I really can\'t be doing with sitting in an office in front of a computer all day again. This makes us moving to the UK a possibility but maybe not an easy thing to do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is the idea that we can move to another country and I can teach but then what would my girlfriend do? She isn\'t the type to sit around all day at home and she doesn\'t fancy living in other Asian countries so I guess it would mean moving to Europe. I would have nothing against a stay in Italy, France or Spain but the problem comes to my girlfriend\'s work and visa opportunities. She worked in a Thai restaurant in New York and she wouldn\'t go back to that kind of job again. Maybe a job at a company who need a Thai speaker but I imagine the opportunities for that are very slim.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>\'Lifestyle\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Then there is the lifestyle here in Thailand which is very relaxed. Some of my friends think I\'m not really working hard and being here is a bit of a jolly. To be honest in some aspects I would agree with them. My working week at school is 28 hours including office hours and lunch breaks. I love this way of working. Working 9-5 now seems like a stupid thing to do and if I moved away from Thailand I\'m certain I would have to work harder and longer. The thought of leaving this style of living is hard to embrace and a reason to stay.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having family on the opposite side of the world is not an easy thing to deal with. Right now I see my family around twice a year for a couple of holidays and speak on Skype. If I had the chance to see my family more often then of course I would take it but then it means my girlfriend wouldn\'t see her family so it\'s a double edged sword. We stay or we go and either way one of us sees a lot less of our family. My girlfriend\'s family relies on her a lot, we would need to think a lot about this before leaving Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My girlfriend and I both have condos in Thailand and whilst it is possible to rent them out whilst we leave, it is a hassle. My condo will be paid off in around 3 years so this point is maybe a better time for us to leave as until then I would need the security of either it being rented out at a high price or using it as a place to live. I don\'t regret buying a condo but it certainly has meant that I can\'t be as flexible as I might want to be.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So why would I want to leave Thailand and its relaxed atmosphere? Well there are a few reasons and although I like living in Thailand many of these reasons are becoming important in my life.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Rising costs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly money is an issue. Over 3 years I have noticed that prices have increased and despite recent news that Bangkok is only 74th in the list of most expensive world cities, I still find I have to think more about buying things than I did when in the UK . You can argue about salaries and cost of living but I only made around an extra 20K a month in the UK than I do now in Thailand and felt I could spend more without worrying.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think this goes to show that the day to day costs of Thailand are cheap but when you need to buy something it hits your pocket more than living in the UK. If it isn\'t these expenses that put me off then it is the long term financial implications of living here that do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I guess most people take pensions and free health care in the UK for granted. You couldn\'t live here off just a standard UK pension but it would sure help to get around 7,000 Baht a week if you had a full pension (although I\'m sure I heard about deductions for those living overseas?).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s add on health insurance for which, as a 28 year old male, I was quoted 40,000 Thai baht a year - this will only get higher and is already over a month\'s salary for many people. My company doesn\'t offer a pension for foreign staff so my savings would have to be invested and we all know that can go wrong. I\'m thinking it\'s best to spend a few years elsewhere and get these benefits and come back later in life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next there is work. I enjoy teaching but I wouldn\'t say it is my calling. Am I just teaching to stay in Thailand? Not at the moment but I could see that happening in the future if I stay. The thought of working in a school at the age of 40 or 50 really doesn\'t appeal to me. Maybe I could see myself teaching a few hours a week at a university but I feel I would like a new challenge at some point and I\'m afraid that\'s not really possible in Thailand. There are a few other non-teaching jobs here but nothing that stands out. A move away would give me the chance to do something different.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This isn\'t just a decision for me, it would also be for my girlfriend. I have huge belief in her ability and feel it is being wasted here in Thailand. She has a lot of potential and I feel she would thrive in a different environment. She shouldn\'t be stuck behind a desk making 25K a month - she would be a great asset to any company and I\'m sure leaving Thailand would open up many opportunities for her to study and work.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Comparisons</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Another major point is thinking about quality of life. It is hard to compare between different countries when you earn different salaries but I would say I have a good quality of life here, although it could be better.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sure my condo is nicer than the room I rented in London and I can eat in restaurants more often here in Thailand but you can\'t tell me that Bangkok is a better place than London. To be honest Bangkok isn\'t in the same league as London and my girlfriend feels the same comparing Bangkok and New York.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a first time visitor to South East Asia, it is so different and amazing but now I find it incredibly boring and lacking in things I want like parks, attractions and decent public transport. I could move to a different region but I\'m not giving up a higher salary to go live in the sticks where I would probably get bored after a few months.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Looking further into the future I want to be able to retire and live a full life. If I stayed in Thailand and saved maybe 20K THB a month I still wouldn\'t have enough to live on, even if I invested and got lucky. I already mentioned pensions but I feel living elsewhere would allow me to save more or be supported by my company to start saving.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally one of the reasons I came to Thailand was for an adventure and I fear this adventure is nearing its end. There is a new journey to start and I\'m hopeful its one that can begin but for now I\'m feeling a bit stuck.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe it\'s a consequence of growing up, you have less freedom and can\'t do everything you want and I\'ll need to work harder to give myself the opportunity of heading home and trying something new.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All I know is I don\'t want to be the guy who stayed too long or regretted missing out on a new experience. The world is big and I love being in Thailand but I hope in the next few years I make it out and can come back sometime in the future to enjoy this fantastic place.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

The whole nine yards. To his ultimate chagrin, none of his children were interested in sharing this passion with him. In fact, we all actively avoided sports.</p>\n<p>With hindsight I can see why - a ball anywhere near him turned an otherwise affable and gentle parent into an irritable and demanding task-master, impatient with failure. Learning from him was a nightmare.</p>\n<p>My father isn\'t an anomaly - some of our finest champions are remembered more for their failed careers as coaches than their amazing on-field skills. <a href=\"http://www.nbcsports.com/great-players-were-bad-coaches-sports\">Here are a few examples</a>. You might have a few personal experiences along these lines too. Champion performance doesn\'t lead inevitably to success at imparting it to others.</p>\n<h3>Fuzzy logic?</h3>\n<p>Now of course it\'s natural to expect from our teachers proficiency in whatever it is they are teaching. You may wish for a golf coach who is a reasonable golfer himself. You wouldn\'t want your child to learn to swim from a teacher who is afraid of water.</p>\n<p>To some extent, this thinking is the basis of the controversial preference for native speakers. If you would like to learn English, who better than an Englishman, right? But clearly something is wrong with this line of reasoning. Being able to speak English is probably not enough to make you a good English teacher. Why not?</p>\n<p>To answer this, let\'s go back to the sports metaphor. Champions have talent, an innate and intuitive \'feel\' for things. Perhaps they cannot recall what it is like to lack unfailing control over every muscle and nerve as they move elegantly towards their next winning shot.</p>\n<p>Beginners, however, experience a chaos of competing instructions that crowd out any possibility of success. Keep your head down. Watch the ball. Lift your chest. Relax your shoulders. Bend your legs. Back straight! Ah forget it.</p>\n<p>How is this related to language learning?</p>\n<h3>The learning process</h3>\n<p>Well, there are two elements to leaning English: first, the English, and second, the learning. Let\'s think of English as the product, the end point; and learning as the process, the way we get there. While you certainly want someone who is good at English to teach English, what about the issue of the process of learning.</p>\n<p>For this, perhaps it\'s useful to have a teacher with proficiency (or at least experience) in language learning. Let\'s face it - language learning is stressful stuff. There are words to memorize, grammar codes to figure out, rules that can\'t be broken, messages that have to be decoded and recoded, strange contortions of the lips and tongue, and frustration as everything comes out back to front.</p>\n<p>A teacher who has gone through this pain, suffering and torture themselves provides compassionate company for the learners as they go through it too.</p>\n<p>Learning from a teacher who is proficient at English, then, is probably not enough. A teacher needs to know the process of learning, as well as the end product.</p>\n<h3>Language learning problems</h3>\n<p>And here\'s the rub - native English speakers are often monolinguals, and can be notoriously reliant on their English language to see them through a life of international travel.</p>\n<p>Many teachers I\'ve met over the years have had every intention of learning a language, but somehow there\'s just so much to do. That\'s potentially a problem. If you are working with language learners, but haven\'t engaged in language learning yourself, is your view of the learning process properly balanced? Are you missing a chunk of experience that might aid you in being a better teacher of languages?</p>\n<p>It\'s for this reason that <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-3\">I really I enjoyed reading the blogs by Bangkok Phil</a> describing the pain and pleasure he experienced as a student of Thai.</p>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/mike-curl/sa-peaking-thai\">This blog by Mike Curl lists a number of advantages of knowing the local lingo</a>. And he\'s right, but there\'s more. As a language teacher, the experience of language learning, successful or not, is a valuable investment: it make us more attuned to our students\' endeavors, and gives us insights into how intrinsically rewarding learning a language can be.</p>\n<p>It\'s not so much that we can hear what our students are saying, but that we can feel what they are feeling.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular <a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a> in Bangkok.</p>\n<h3>You may also be interested in....<a href=\"/blogs/tom-tuohy/native-vs-non-native-speaking-teachers/\">Native vs non-native speaking teachers&nbsp;Who would you employ?</a></h3>','','2016-06-27 18:23:53',1,'2016-06-27 18:23:53','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(31046,71,'Summer school is for the birds','summer-school-is-for-the-birds','Does it beat cocktails on the beach?

Ok, that last one might have been towards the begging phase.</p>\n<p>Anyway, considering my Thai fianc&eacute; works according to the Thai government school calendar, she has to work all through my summer holiday (mid-June through the end of July), so I figured, what the hell. I have nothing better to do, and can\'t leave anyway because she\'s working and I have evening/Saturday classes going on throughout the summer regardless.</p>\n<h3>TOEFL experience</h3>\n<p>I signed up, and because I\'ve done TOEFL teaching for a few years on the side (that\'s an English test students take to study in North America), I got slotted into the summer TOEFL programme.</p>\n<p>Fine, no problem. It\'s bound to be better than the all-day hell that [mandatory, unpaid] summer school was at the government school I used to work at. This programme is 4 total teaching hours daily, 2x 1.5 hour classes plus one hour and some change at the end of the day. It actually ends up being more than some of my \"normal\" school days in terms of contact hours, and considering parents pay 30,000 THB per child for the privilege of my company... well, at 16 students, I\'m being financially ripped off @ 10k/week. Such is life.</p>\n<h3>TOEFL targets</h3>\n<p>Well, I\'ve been at it for a few weeks now. My school requires students to make a minimum score of 60 on TOEFL to move from middle to high school, and a minimum of 70 to graduate (although 80 to be awarded scholarships in-school). Thus, my class consists primarily of 8th graders that didn\'t make the required score to move into high school; all students are TOEFL tested at the end of each academic year regardless of grade level past grade 6.</p>\n<p>Needless to say, they aren\'t exactly thrilled to be here... but with that said, I\'ve been pleasantly surprised at their ability to adapt to a full day of intensive English reading/writing/speaking/listening (the TOEFL sections). When you\'re 13 or 14, it\'s not easy to spend 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. doing ANYTHING during summer, much less hardcore English test-taking skills. Hell, it\'s not easy for ME.</p>\n<h3>Never again</h3>\n<p>While I\'m actually happy with the students, and planning for the course isn\'t difficult as I\'ve been doing this for a while... I don\'t think I\'ll do it again.</p>\n<p>There\'s a lot to be said for having respite after a long year, even if one still has evening classes. Sure, an extra 50-60k in the bank is always a good thing (and needed), but if you do end up wanting to go all-in with teaching, it\'s probably more important to not burn yourself out, and I\'m certainly feeling the strain as most of my colleagues are sending me pictures from the beaches they\'re drinking on.</p>\n<p>I will say this, though: having so many contact hours with the same group of kids, as opposed to the more spread out schedules of the normal school year, has allowed me to see real learning take place from day to day, and that\'s quite refreshing. I really feel I\'m making a difference.</p>\n<p>The question is: is it more refreshing than a pi&ntilde;a colada by the sea?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

The moment you walk into the shop, you\'re in a strangely comforting male-only domain. There\'s no ear-splitting rap music or over-gelled teenyboppers prancing around in low-cut skinny jeans. This is a man\'s world.','<p>Hair has always been important to the male members of the Williams clan. My grandfather died at the age of 73 with a veritable &lsquo;lion\'s mane\' and my father, also now in his mid-seventies, is often complimented on a &lsquo;terrific head of hair\' for a man of his age. And fortunately, neither my brother nor I are what you would call &lsquo;follicaly challenged\'. We haven\'t let the side down. Not yet anyway.</p>\n<p>As a fashion-conscious young man growing up in the UK, one of perhaps my weirdest and yet unfulfilled ambitions, was to have a haircut <a href=\"https://www.trumpers.com/\">at the famous Trumper\'s barbers shop in London\'s trendy Mayfair</a>. It wasn\'t just because my musical hero, Morrissey, used to pop in there for a trim every time he was in town (although that would be reason enough), it was to have the chance - just once - to sit in a plush leather chair, in your very own private cubicle of the finest mahogany, and have your hair fussed over by a master of his trade. And then eventually walk out of the shop with maybe &lsquo;something for the weekend\' and the kind of haircut that compels you to check your reflection in every other shop window.</p>\n<h3>Traditional</h3>\n<p>So several months ago, it was with some excitement that I noticed another giant of the British traditional barber shop world, Truefitt and Hill, had opened a branch in the Emporium Shopping Mall on Sukhumwit. I ventured in on the off chance they\'d have a barber standing around waiting for customers - and luckily they did. Four appointments and four quite splendid haircuts later, I am well and truly hooked. Dare I say a trip to the barbers has now become the highlight of the month?</p>\n<p>Recognized as the hairdresser of choice for H.R.H The Duke of Edinburgh - and no doubt a few other members of The British Royal Family as well - Truefitt and Hill currently has branches in Singapore, Malaysia, India and The United States. And now they\'re here in Bangkok!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/truefitt1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The businessman responsible for bringing Truefitt and Hill to Thailand is Sakorn Thavasin. Khun Sakorn has devoted much of his life to travelling the world in search of &lsquo;the finest grooming experiences for the discerning gentleman\' and he jumped at the chance to provide customers with an &lsquo;old-school\' barber shop experience that exuded both class and luxury.</p>\n<h3>A man\'s world</h3>\n<p>And &lsquo;experience\' is the key word. At Truefitt and Hill, you\'re not getting just a haircut, a shave or a beard trim. The moment you walk into the shop, you\'re in a strangely comforting male-only domain. There\'s no ear-splitting rap music or over-gelled teenyboppers prancing around in low-cut skinny jeans. This is a man\'s world. The only things missing are a complimentary tumbler of the finest malt whisky and perhaps a fat stogie from the humidor.</p>\n<p>The d&eacute;cor and customer service are sheer perfection. The &lsquo;receptionist\' (which is far too plain a word for such a wonderful establishment) greets you with both civility and impeccable English. Upon establishing your grooming requirements, you are accompanied into the barber shop itself.</p>\n<p>The Emporium branch of Truefitt and Hill employs about half a dozen staff, each one specializing in areas such as traditional or modern hairstyles, beard grooming, face massages, manicures, etc. The customer takes a comfortable seat and drifts away to some gentle background jazz while the barber busies himself with clippers and cut-throat razor.</p>\n<h3>Old school</h3>\n<p>I\'m proud to say that I\'ve now become one of barber Sawat\'s regular customers. Probably in his sixties and immaculately turned out in his shiny shoes and monogrammed waistcoat, Khun Sawat handles his tools of the trade with all the dexterity of a man who\'s been cutting hair since the year dot. This is a master barber at work. He\'ll fashion you a parting line that you could slice bread with.</p>\n<p>The attention to detail is astonishing and I\'m sure all part of owner Sakorn Thavasin\'s vision. Men\'s grooming products are neatly lined up on ceramic trays and men\'s magazines look like they\'ve been arranged on shelves by someone using a ruler and set square. The carefully chosen photos and black and white prints adorning the shop walls are all fascinating nods to a fashionable bygone era.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/truefitt2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>So how much does a Truefitt and Hill haircut cost? I know that\'s the question you most want answered. Well, as your father or a favorite uncle must surely have told you at some point in your life - &lsquo;nice things cost money\' A Truefitt and Hill &lsquo;royal haircut\', which is basically a wash, cut and 45 minutes of the barber\'s time, will set you back 1,100 baht. It isn\'t cheap - and you wouldn\'t expect it to be.</p>\n<h3>The choice is yours!</h3>\n<p>Over a thousand baht! For a bloody men\'s haircut! Yes, I can hear the roars of disbelief from here. Possibly because you\'re one of those gentlemen who gets the job done for less than a hundred baht at the spit and sawdust joint down the soi, and if you are, then good luck to you. I\'ve had some decent haircuts at those local barber shops. I\'ve had some bloody awful ones as well.</p>\n<p>I find those barber shops at the end of a deep soi just too much of a gamble, especially if you don\'t have a regular cutter who knows &lsquo;exactly how you like it\'.</p>\n<p>I like the guy cutting my hair to spend more time actually looking at my head than staring at the Thai boxing on channel 7.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want that half inch strip of bare skin shaved above each ear. I once mentioned this weird practice to a retired expat barber from Canada and he shook his head and said \"why on earth do they do that?\" But communication with your new and unfamiliar Thai barber is always going to be tricky if your advanced hairdressing vocabulary is not up to scratch.</p>\n<p>Most of all I don\'t want to be the star turn of some sort of impromptu cabaret show. I don\'t want to hear \"farang this\" and \"farang that\" from the guys you always find sitting in the waiting chairs but are never there for a haircut - just to keep the barber company, watch the boxing and ponce off the air-conditioning.</p>\n<p>Go on. Treat yourself to the Truefitt and Hill experience - even if it\'s just something to tick off your bucket list.</p>','','2016-06-30 04:59:53',1,'2016-06-30 04:59:53','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(31069,52,'July 2016','july-2016','The latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s best TEFL course providers','If you\'re looking for a good deal on a Thailand TEFl course.

In my previous blog, <a href=\"/blogs/stephen-louw/language-learning\">I argued that a language teacher greatly benefits from learning a language</a>, in that it keeps you \'tuned in\' to the problems and frustrations students have as they tackle learning English. This time, I thought I\'d share an example from my experience as a teacher.</p>\n<p>Before story-time, some pertinent pedagogical background. When teaching vocabulary, we traditionally group words that can be taught together into \'lexical sets\'. These lexical sets are groups of words that are meaningfully related to each other, and therefore belong together in the same lesson. So, for example, if we are teaching a lesson on cooking, our lexical set may include verbs like \'steam\', \'roast\' and \'fry\'.</p>\n<p>Lexical sets are the backbone of most coursebooks, which sometimes box them up neatly at the head of each unit. As a teacher, I also used lexical sets in my vocabulary lessons: if I taught adjectives, I\'d teach them in opposite groups: old/young, hot/cold, and if I taught nouns, I wouldn\'t dream of teaching \'orange\' without also having \'banana\'. How else could it be done?!</p>\n<h3>An experience with Chinese</h3>\n<p>Once, when I was living in Singapore, I decided to try my hand at Mandarin. I registered, paid, and bought the book. Committed and ready to go. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, and have managed to master a number of subjects over my school and university career. Chinese, I told myself, would be fun, and useful too! Millions speak it, some of them small children. How hard could it be?</p>\n<p>There were 8 in the class, of which 2 were \'ang mo\' (the Chinese racial epithet for white people): all the rest where Chinese.</p>\n<p>This was interesting - why were Chinese people studying Chinese? The class hadn\'t even started and I was bewildered. Our teacher was a petite Taiwanese woman. She was really sweet, very kind, and she knew almost no English.</p>\n<p>Right from the outset things didn\'t go well. She walked into the room and started speaking (kindly and gently, of course) in rapid Chinese, which everyone except me seemed to follow. They were smiling and nodding, even answering her with what seemed to be remarkable eloquence. Was this a beginner\'s class?</p>\n<h3>Tough lessons</h3>\n<p>I gravitated over to sit next to the American, and he did a valiant job of helping me, but it quickly became clear I was just getting in his way. In fact, I was holding everyone back - I was \'that\' student. I could imagine the teacher sighing (gently and kindly) with exasperation when she thought about how completely thick I am.</p>\n<p>In the third lesson, things became dire. The topic of the day was household appliances, and the teacher had taken it upon herself to teach every possible household appliance ever. We had a page packed with beautifully drawn television sets, radios and dishwashers, each accompanied by its associated string of Chinese idiograms. The first on the page was a camera. I never even learned that one. It was a disaster. Every atom of my being revolted against the sound of these words that were so lacking in sense.</p>\n<p>Needless to say, I dropped out of the course, I don\'t speak Chinese, and I won\'t try to study it again. But, it certainly was a highly instructive experience. I can now identify with that desperate plea for respite from the weaker students in my classroom. I know what it\'s like to have your ego knocked about by alien languages.</p>\n<h3>A deeper questioning</h3>\n<p>At a theoretical level, my experience has also led me to question the value of lexical sets. Word lists, in general, are stressful for students: my Chinese list of household appliances remains a painful psychological scar. Being on the learner\'s side of that lexical set forced me rethink my approach - but how else can it be done?</p>\n<p>Reading around this, there is, in fact, a growing body of academic literature that argues that presenting words that are closely related in the same lesson leads to meaning interference and hampers memorization.</p>\n<p>If you are curious about the alternatives, <a href=\"http://www.victoria.ac.nz/lals/about/staff/publications/paul-nation/2000-Lexical-sets.pdf\">you may find this article by Paul Nation interesting</a>. In it, he looks at the weaknesses of structuring lessons according to lexical sets, and proposes some ways of reducing word interference.</p>\n<p>Until my Chinese language learning experience, I had taken lexical sets as a given - but perhaps in language teaching, there are no givens: it\'s a constant search for ways of doing things better.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>\n<hr />','','2016-07-04 04:08:18',1,'2016-07-04 04:08:18','2018-04-15 03:03:25'),(31072,85,'An American story on Independence Day','an-american-story-on-independence-day','How the American Dream didn\'t really work out for me','I\'m teaching abroad in Southeast Asia and even though I\'m making half what I made in America, there are no money concerns. I\'m saving money for my eventual retirement, something I could never do when I was living paycheck to paycheck.','<p>It\'s the Fourth of July, American Independence Day. It\'s a day I can\'t help but think about my home country, where it\'s at and where it\'s going.</p>\n<p>I just saw a graphic on BBC News which showed how the American middle class has gone from 75% of the population 25 years ago to less than 50% today. In other words, there are now more people who are either poor or rich in my country than there are those who aren\'t described by either term.</p>\n<h3>Wage stagnation</h3>\n<p>I saw it in my own working career in America. Fresh out of college, I got a good job that paid me, on average, $1000/week. That was good money back in 1993. Twenty years later, even though I was much better at doing it, I was still making $1000 a week doing pretty much the same job. Wage stagnation, they call it.</p>\n<p>In my generation, at least from my experience, we haven\'t been able to settle into a profession. Unlike America in the past, where a person could get a good job and then expect that job to be good throughout his working career, my career, big ticket appliance sales, just got worse and worse the longer I did it.</p>\n<p>Well, tough shit, Joko. That\'s the reality of modern America. You should be happy making a steady middle class wage whilst all around you the rich got richer and the poor got poorer.</p>\n<h3>Domino effect</h3>\n<p>I stayed the same, but the world got more expensive. Debts accumulated. The cost of living went up. As time went by, I found myself going from getting by to living on the edge. I tried to join those who were rich and getting richer. I became a loan officer at a mortgage company. A sub-prime mortgage company at that. Then, 2008 happened. Then I had a car accident.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2013 and once again I was making pretty good money doing what I loved and was good at: hawking refrigerators and washing machines at a big box retailer. I\'d gotten back into community theatre, so along with video making and the ukulele, my free time was rich and rewarding.</p>\n<h3>Down on luck</h3>\n<p>Just as everything was going great, corporate America struck a blow typical of the fate of the middle class these last decades: they slashed my wages by 25%. From that point on, I learned the ins and outs of the pawn shops, payday loans, and how to live on really shitty cheap food. I was definitely becoming poor.</p>\n<p>At just about that same time, I got an offer in the mail from the company I\'d worked for previously for almost 20 years. They owed me something rare in today\'s economy: a pension. They said I could cash in my pension now for a significant amount of money. Well, this was an opportunity to make a major change in my life.</p>\n<p>Just as it seemed like the major change in my life was going to be from hanging on the edge of a middle class existence to being on food stamps and assisted housing, here came the funds to get myself a qualification to teach English, settle (most of) my debts in America and buy a plane ticket to start a new career somewhere else. I\'d always wanted to travel and teach abroad, but I never had the resources to make that happen.</p>\n<h3>A brighter future</h3>\n<p>I took the money, cashed in my pension and haven\'t looked back since.</p>\n<p>Now, I\'m teaching abroad in Southeast Asia and even though I\'m making half what I made in America, there are no money concerns. Not that I care about class distinctions, but I\'m definitely amongst \'the rich\' in Myanmar. I\'m saving money for my eventual retirement, something I could never do when I was living paycheck to paycheck.</p>\n<p>Unlike the last time I lived in Southeast Asia when I was student, nowadays, due to social media, I can keep up with what my American friends are thinking and doing. Me myself, I\'m currently out of the steady decline of the financial security of the American middle class. But I remember being there. I\'ve lived it. It\'s sort of why I\'m here.</p>\n<p>Anyways, when I look at America today, there\'s a political decision to be made that\'s in the front of everyone\'s minds. Both camps in the debate blame certain forces for causing the decline the American  middle class, the key demographic to winning any American political election.</p>\n<h3>The blame game</h3>\n<p>Hillary blames corporations, and declares she\'ll stand up to them. This is an unconvincing argument given the amount money she\'s taken from them over the years.</p>\n<p>Trump blames trade. 25 years ago, almost all the refrigerators I sold on my floor were made in America. In my last years of selling appliances, less than half were. This kind of mirrors the same trend in the buying power of my paycheck. Now, before you say Trump has a point, understand that the prices for refrigerators hasn\'t changed in that same 25 years. A top of the line fridge cost $2000 back in in 1990. It\'s still close to that today. The cheapest fridge cost $400; that hasn\'t changed. At the same time, everything else has gone up, including salaries, except for those of appliance salesmen.</p>\n<p>I guess what I\'m getting at it is that macro-economically, even for the middle class American, relatively cheaper prices for appliances has been a good thing. Less of the average American\'s paycheck has to go towards buying a new appliance, and that\'s a good thing.</p>\n<p>If there were no NAFTA (and Mexican refrigerators), if China didn\'t have normal trade relations with America, if all the free trade influences that killed my career as an appliance salesman didn\'t exist, I\'d still be living in America, making good money selling overpriced white goods. Meanwhile, there\'d be folks living without food storage, tenants living with shitty fridges and far fewer folk being able to enjoy the benefits of ice and water through the door.</p>\n<p>Clinton (Sanders) supporters blame multinational corporations. Trump supporters blame China and Mexico. Life is hard being part of middle-class America today. Perhaps before we start casting blame, we should look at what we, individually speaking, are doing as part of the modern global economy from which there\'s no turning back.</p>\n<p>It took me a long time to realize that my chosen career was dying. America needs to honestly understand where it stands as a nation state in the 21st century. We can\'t magically recreate a country where state of the art fridges are made here instead of Korea.

Mercifully, it\'s a journey I only need to do several times a year and usually I\'ll grab a motorbike taxi. However, the morning rush hour had ended and the temperature was cool by Bangkok standards. So I decided to walk.</p>\n<p>On that relatively short stroll to the bank, I counted no fewer than 16 cars that were parked on the footpath, forcing me to change direction and walk in the busy road itself.</p>\n<p>I was almost knocked over, not by a motorcyclist using the sidewalk as a short cut as is usually the case, but by two giggly teenagers on a bicycle with no brakes.</p>\n<p>I then had to negotiate a T-junction where legally the traffic is allowed to flow in two, possibly three directions. I stood there for a moment and counted. If you included cars doing illegal u-turns and motorcyclists cutting corners they shouldn\'t be cutting, the traffic actually flowed in six directions. To use one of mother\'s favourite expressions - &lsquo;to cross the road, you needed eyes up your arse\'</p>\n<p>I should also mention the missing sewage cover and a chasm that was easily large enough to swallow me whole and probably spit me out somewhere in the Gulf of Thailand. That would of course have been completely my fault for missing the stick and paint-pot that were placed to act as a warning.</p>\n<p>And finally the pedestrian bridge that I had to cross as I was nearing the journey\'s end and the metal staircase that has rusted and rotted over time and now in parts resembles some sort of poacher\'s trap.</p>\n<p>Bangkok is a pedestrian\'s worst nightmare. But of course you already knew that. So do the Thais. How often do you see them walking anywhere of any great distance?</p>\n<h3>A glorious vision</h3>\n<p>But I\'m one of life\'s optimists. I dream of the day when Khun Vallop\'s vision materializes and pedestrians rise up to claim the footpaths that are rightfully theirs. What a day that will be!</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, closing down these sprawling obstructions like the flower market, is only a beginning. Who\'s going to tell car owners that footpaths are not parking lots? Who\'s going to admonish motorcyclists who use the sidewalks as a way to beat the traffic gridlock? Who\'s going to repair the numerous broken paving slabs and fill in all the holes? The list goes on.</p>\n<p>Hold on. Something else just struck me.

There really aren\'t enough of them, <a href=\"http://www.edutopia.org/blog/20-must-see-movies-educators-nicholas-provenzano\">but this site lists quite a few</a>. A lot of movie classroom scenes are blatant parodies of the real thing, which makes them strangely insightful.</p>\n<p>Embarrassingly perhaps, one of my favorite classroom movies is Harry Potter. I always think that it\'s a good idea to stay current with cultural references that might be relevant to my students; that\'s what I said when I got teased for voraciously watching the movies.</p>\n<p>But in reality, I loved the portrayal of tradition-bound institutionalized education, the intense rivalry between growing children, and the backdrop of real adult-world drama that makes all the school-yard pettiness seem facile and yet no less meaningful to all the characters. It\'s a Lilliputian representation of the educational scenario we know, but don\'t always see.</p>\n<p>I especially love watching the teachers in the Potter movies doing their jobs. The absolute best is Snape. Alan Rickman did the most incredible job of capturing an obnoxious teacher. He creeps around furtively, striving to catch students doing something wrong, ready to gloat gleefully over transgressions.</p>\n<p>All the way through we are kept in the dark about what motivates this loathsome behavior. Does he really hate Harry? Why? It\'s only at the end of the story, when he has perversely saved the day, that we find out his deplorable attitude is a strange mix of his own inner insecurities and unresolved conflicts which are projected onto his young, unsuspecting classroom inmates.</p>\n<p>But Snape is not just about inner turmoil, about the offspring of his first love and his juvenile adversary. As a teacher, he is just not very good. The teacher in me recoils at his classroom practice. If you have a moment, watch this cringeworthy classroom scene:</p>\n<p><iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ak3ytvTd-vY\" width=\"420\"></iframe></p>\n<p>This is Snape\'s first lesson with a new group. He does it all wrong! Talking with his back to the class, mumbling, focusing the classroom talk on himself, laying out negative expectations, using unnecessarily complicated classroom language, singling out favorites, belittling and threatening punishment.</p>\n<p>In Snape\'s classroom, there is no space for dialogue or interaction - the children are interlopers. Top-down authority takes precedence.</p>\n<p>Take another moment and watch this one!</p>\n<p><iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/PHV4LVT_ml0\" width=\"420\"></iframe></p>\n<p>What Snape does here is start the class with the zero option: \"Turn to page 394\". Watch further - while he sets up the visual prompts, Snape starts eliciting. This is promising: eliciting serves a number of very useful purposes in the classroom - it engages students\' interest, gets them thinking, gives the teacher feedback on how much the students already know, and creates opportunities for involvement.</p>\n<p>Why exactly Snape elicits, however, isn\'t clear. The students are either too scared to answer, or they don\'t know (and how could they know if he hasn\'t taught the lesson yet!), and the one student who does say anything invokes from him a withering response. Perhaps he elicits because his teacher trainer told him he has to. Having failed to elicit anything, he then goes on to punish the class for being ignorant. This teacher!</p>\n<p>I could write about Snape forever. He is the perfect hateful teacher, and therefore very instructive to watch. But all the other Hogwarts teachers deserve some critical scrutiny.</p>\n<p>Professors Lockhart and Umbridge have serious classroom management issues. Dumbledore\'s teaching ethics are a mess. Look carefully to see whether, and exactly how, Minerva McGonagall and Roland Hooch teach their class anything. Yes, these are caricatures of teachers, but we\'ve all had a teacher from our childhood who bears at least some resemblance to Sybill Trelawny, Harry\'s divination teacher. That\'s perhaps what makes her so irresistible. Maybe we\'ve all had a Snape-like teacher, too.</p>\n<p>Caricature or not, these portrayals of teachers are interestingly instructive. Importantly, they invite us to inspect ourselves as teachers. Who is most likable? Who would we most want to be like? For this reason, the Harry Potter series makes a fun teacher training tool.</p>\n<p>But if you have avoided watching Potter and his band of merry school-mates, I understand. I came across a movie called Bad Teacher, starring Cameron Diaz. It\'s labeled a comedy, but it sounds more like a horror - I\'m not sure I can bring myself to watch it.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-07-08 01:36:01',1,'2016-07-08 01:36:01','2016-07-09 14:02:02'),(31122,59,'Language through Art (part two)','language-through-art-part-two','Strategies for teaching English using art','For a change, try art, music, and sports, as lessons to teach English.

Instead of using the usual topics for survival skills in the language, I use their sense of appreciation as a tool in facilitating their acquisition of the language.</p>\n<p>I began with a warm-up that involved the correct reading of the vocabulary words to learn. Then the students were made to understand the words using a dictionary for they will be used in the dialogue later on. They made use of the   Thai- English dictionary.</p>\n<p>With this activity, I got one positive feedback from my observer. She commented, \"The activity letting the students use the dictionary is very commendable. This is  the only elementary school in the province I know that develops  the dictionary skills of students. It is very good.\"</p>\n<p>Once the students already understood the words I presented the picture for the day. I asked them what they saw in the picture pertaining to name, color, size, number, quality, etc.&nbsp;I then distributed this dialogue worksheet to answer.</p>\n<p>A.	Which animal do you like in the picture?<br /> B. I like the _________________. <br /> A. Why do you like it?<br /> B. I like it because _________________.<br /> A.  Is it your favorite animal? <br /> B. Yes, ____________.</p>\n<p>After answering the worksheet cooperatively, reading practice was done first by group, by sex, and later on by pairs. They were given 15-20 minutes to memorize the dialogue. Although I had only 3 questions for Grades 4-6 students, only 25% could memorize and present the dialogue with mastery and confidence. Anyway, I will review them during our next meeting.</p>\n<p>What came next was the coloring of the picture provided.</p>\n<p>While  the coloring was done, I called for individual students to come to me and describe the picture. Since it was my first time to do serious writing of this sort for my students, I asked them what they know about the picture, I write what they say, and later on let them read their work.</p>\n<p>This I did to give them the idea of describing a picture and give them confidence in describing without being threatened by writing and spelling. Surely, next time, they will have to describe the pictures themselves.</p>\n<p>Even though the subject was on art, my students were able to know words, their meaning, inevitably spelling as well, ask and  answer questions in a dialogue, improved their aesthetic sense through coloring, and a breakthrough in learning English through another topic they don\'t usually study.</p>\n<p>For a change, try art, music, and sports, as lessons to teach English.

Or lazy. Or bad. Or any other such pejorative. It seems like a sensible prescription, right? Criticize the behavior, not the person.','<p>There is a radio show in the States called \'A Prairie Home Companion\', which is set in a fictional hamlet in the mid-west called Lake Wobegon. Sadly, this month was Garrison Keilor\'s final broadcast of the show, which has been running since we were all small children.</p>\n<p>Anyway, for those who don\'t know it, the closing words of every episode go something like \"Well, that\'s all from Lake Wobegon, where the women are strong, the men are good-looking and the all the children are above average.\"</p>\n<p>Who wouldn\'t want to live in Lake Wobegon? Imagine having a class full of children who are above average! In fact, if you have taught 3/1 in a school where the children are streamed, you have had a class of children who are above average. But for every 3/1, there is a 3/14. For every above-average student, there has to be an equal and opposite below-average student. That is what statistics dictates. Lake Wobegon, unfortunately, is only fiction.</p>\n<h3>Below-average students</h3>\n<p>So we have to accept that there are above- and below-average students. This class is hardworking and clever, and that class is not so hardworking and clever.</p>\n<p>During my training as a teacher, we were told never to call a student stupid. Or lazy. Or bad. Or any other such pejorative. It seems like a sensible prescription, right? Criticize the behavior, not the person. But then how do we describe the children in 3/14?</p>\n<p>Hang around a group of teachers and it\'s not long before you\'ll hear something like \'Oh, Poom\'s so thick. I just ignore him\', \'Those girls at the back are so bitchy, all they do is disrupt the lesson\', or perhaps on an even broader sweep, \'3/14 are so weak, none of them really care about studying English\'.</p>\n<p>Is this kind of labeling a problem? Why? What about labeling a child \'clever\' or \'gifted\'? Can you do that, or is that bad too? And if you can, why can you apply positive labels and not negative ones?</p>\n<h3>The IQ test effect</h3>\n<p>In the late 1960s, psychologists Rosenthal and Jacobson became interested in this. In one of his studies, after conducting an IQ test at a primary school, he told teachers which of the students were \'bloomers\' (or high-achievers) based on the results. The teachers were told that these individual students were \'ready to bloom\', and would likely show some impressive intellectual progress.</p>\n<p>In reality, it wasn\'t true: the children had been chosen randomly and their IQ scores were no more or less intelligent than the rest of the students in the class.</p>\n<p>Rosenthal followed up later with more IQ tests on these children and found, incredibly (and rather controversially), that the random group of children who had been named \'bloomers\' had made significantly greater improvements in their intellectual development than the rest of the children in the class. The children who had been labeled bloomers had bloomed!</p>\n<h3>The power of expectation</h3>\n<p>Why had this happened? Telling the teachers that certain children were \'gifted\' created an expectation in the teachers of these children\'s performance. The children, somehow or another (I\'ll come back to this \'somehow or another\' thing), then performed in accordance with this expectation: a self-fulfilling prophecy. This phenomenon has come to be known as the Pygmalion effect.</p>\n<p>And so it must be for negative expectations. Students pick up on a teacher\'s expectation of low achievement, and somehow or another (there it is again) conform to it with low performance that confirms the original expectation. This is called the Golem effect.</p>\n<p>This expectancy effect is, then, at least one of the reasons why labeling is so problematic for educators. But how does it work? When we say something like \'Poom\'s so thick\', it seems like it can\'t make any difference because Poom isn\'t in the room to hear us say it. Here\'s that \'somehow or another\': just by thinking that he is thick leads to subconscious cues that give away our expectation, and the expectation turns to reality.</p>\n<p>What are the subconscious cues? In the Pygmalion studies, it seems that there are subtle differences in how the teachers deal with students who are identified as high achievers - more confidence-building praise, more questions directed towards them, greater wait-time after a question is asked, more constructive feedback.</p>\n<p>Where a teacher\'s expectations are higher, there are changes in lesson content, difference in classroom management strategies, even greater teacher enthusiasm. With the Golems, subtly the opposite - less patience, lower trust, fewer questions.</p>\n<p>And what about 3/14? These are not the students that can responsibly be labeled high-achievers, right? Well, as a teacher, I need to accept that not all my students can be above average. For those in 3/14, it\'s important that I don\'t give up on them - they are quicker to go off task and they do not like reading, but they have an amazing zest for life that the 3/1s sometimes lack, and are incredibly amused by one another\'s company.</p>\n<p>I need to work from where they are at, not where I want them to be. Importantly, I need to actively avoid labeling them (even in my mind) with any negative expectations that they can reward me by living down to.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-07-18 03:42:48',1,'2016-07-18 03:42:48','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31141,90,'Handling students with learning difficulties','handling-students-with-learning-difficulties','How can I ignore students just because they are different?','I remember in my first week at my government high school there was a student who was severely autistic. I just wasn\'t prepared for the task at hand.','<p>Taking a CELTA or TEFL course will help you with the basics of teaching but one thing it doesn\'t cover is teaching students with learning difficulties.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher in Thailand it is more than likely you will have students with various disabilities as it seems there is very little provision for specialist care for these students. This can range from teaching students who are autistic through to blind or deaf pupils. I remember in my first week at my government high school there was a student who was severely autistic and I just wasn\'t prepared for the task at hand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At first I was shocked and didn\'t know how to approach him or what I should say to calm him down whilst he was running around the classroom screaming at other students and trying to kick his classmates. One of the girls in the class came to me and said they would look after him and to just pretend he wasn\'t there. It seemed ignorance was the key.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Foreign attitudes</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>After this class I approached the head of the English department and told her about the situation. She shrugged her shoulders and told me it wasn\'t a problem - \"Just teach the other students and don\'t worry about him\". I asked her if there was a support teacher for him and she looked at me as if I was suggesting something crazy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That night I spoke to a Thai engineer who lived in my apartment block about the problem. He told me that there isn\'t care for people with learning disabilities and that in a lot of cases the parents and teachers won\'t even acknowledge that the student has a disability. He also said that a lot of Thai people believe that if you are disabled or have learning disabilities it is because of sin in a previous life and as such there are sometimes negative feelings towards these people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place. I wasn\'t equipped to deal with the situation. Teaching 50 kids isn\'t easy on your own and I had no idea how to deal with students with learning disabilities.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Students left alone</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In my school in the UK we had a couple of deaf students and a student with Down Syndrome. They all had specialist equipment and a teaching assistant to help them. Here in Thailand, at least in government schools, they are left to their own devices and have to make the most of the situation. I would be interested to hear from anyone at a private / international school or a university to see if it is the same situation there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I decided in my next class to start an activity with the class and then approach the student with autism. It was then I noticed that the other students in the class are very protective of other students with learning difficulties. They helped him to do his work, explained instructions and gave motivation. It actually made me feel very proud of these students but also sad that they had been left to do this without any support from the school.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There were other students at the school with learning difficulties. Some had mild symptoms and were great students, often just having problems interacting but being able to write fantastic articles in English.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Decent support system</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I now work in a language school for adults (age 16+) and have a few students with learning disabilities. It is much easier now as my class sizes average 8 students but I still haven\'t had training on specialist teaching methods for students with learning disabilities. There have been occasions where I have had to ask the student to leave the class or have an assistant come in to help as there isn\'t the relationship between the students where the others are prepared to help. However, at least we do have a support system for them and can be more focused on their needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another issue which always gets people talking is ADHD. I\'m not a doctor or a specialist but even with everyone arguing about the diagnosis of this condition there is likely to be a time where you have to teach a student with ADHD. In your CELTA / TEFL course they will teach classroom management but this brief overview isn\'t enough to fully prepare you for every circumstance. Those teachers with QTS are likely to have more experience and training in dealing with learning difficulties but in their own countries they will receive help and support which is lacking here in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Improvement surely needed</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are plans afoot to improve education standards in Thailand but I have yet to hear about improving conditions for those with learning disabilities. As for us foreign teachers it seems we are getting orders from heads of departments to ignore these students and just focus on standing in front of the class and do our best.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not possible to change the world overnight and even more unlikely to change the education system in Thailand in such a quick time but I feel lost when it comes to teaching and helping those with learning difficulties. I\'m sure many of you have faced similar situations and would love to know your approach and the support you receive from your school.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Using your own original, intelligent and instinctive grading system can be a purposeful choice that enables you to free up your time and efforts for the best kids and lets the rest just coast through to their guaranteed passing grades.</p>\n<p>Sure, it\'s a natural character trait to follow through with \'given expectations\' but how can a properly trained teacher deal with them and where does he or she even get the \'given expectations\' from?</p>\n<p>If everyone tells you that Game of Thrones is an awesome TV program, you\'re likely to think it is when you watch it. (I personally think it\'s bloody awful.)</p>\n<h3>Disregarding opinions</h3>\n<p>Similarly, if all the teachers in the staffroom are telling you that little Tommy Parker is a thicko, if you are an unprofessional and unthinking teacher, when you meet him for the first time, you are going to assume he is just that. That opinion is going to be hard to shake off.</p>\n<p>Consequently, it\'ll reflect in how you treat him (and how he reacts) before you even get to know him or start to teach him anything.</p>\n<p>But for many of us treading, nay, trudging the boards of the theatre that is Thai \'edutainment\', we only see the kids once or maybe twice a week. Not only that, none of us are given advanced warnings about the individual abilities contained in the classes we teach.</p>\n<p>Our opinions and assessments are almost always determined only by the behaviour and actions of the students. Over time we generally get a pretty good idea of the realistic expectations we should have for each of them.</p>\n<h3>\'Clean slate\'</h3>\n<p>As for day to day classroom management, it\'s easy to avoid treating kids with generalized individual expectations if we start every class off with a clean slate. That\'s what I (try to) do. Each kid is as good and as capable as the last class he or she was \'performing\' in.</p>\n<p>Of course, there will be anomalies to that. There will be the sharp kids who have a bad day and the troublemakers who are too tired to play the clown. But by and large, Thai kids are very predictable and the teacher should have confidence in his own assessments and not rely on the \'tittle tattle\' of other teachers or indeed any outside influences when they make judgments about their pupils.</p>\n<p>Steve finishes his article with a gentle reminder of how he (and we) should behave and what he can do to make himself a better teacher. In particular, he stresses that it\'s wrong to treat kids differently and that all the kids deserve your best effort.</p>\n<p>Well, I\'m afraid I disagree.</p>\n<h3>Focusing on the top performers</h3>\n<p>In the best interests of the students who are capable, interested and who want to learn, some kids have to be left behind. That\'s why our school has streams. The prathom levels all have a \'King\'s Class\' which has the best students in that year. I focus my best efforts and most imaginative lesson plans for this class. It is these kids who are most likely to find value in learning English now and later in life.</p>\n<p>For the other kids, it may be the same lesson but in a simpler and more leisurely format. It may be something completely different from what the King\'s Class students are learning. But whatever it is, it won\'t be as challenging or as demanding as the lessons reserved for the King\'s class.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure that all children of prathom age should be schooled in English. Not just because English might benefit them later in life, but because it is a good general exercise in brain activity (if done right) but also... well, it weeds out the kids who will (and won\'t) most likely benefit later in life!</p>\n<h3>\'Wasted time\'</h3>\n<p>I further believe that only about 30% of students at the mathayom level should even be learning English. Too much time is wasted and too much money is squandered on students who will quite obviously never benefit from English classes.</p>\n<p>If only the top 30% of mathayom students were given the &lsquo;gift\' of further English education, the money saved and time freed up could go to (yeah, right!) paying for fewer but better-qualified teachers and better resourced English departments. (Wake up, man. You\'re dreaming and writing at the same time!)</p>\n<p>But you can\'t heap all the blame of \'generalizing behaviour\' on teachers. There is no real or effective effort by government, school administrations or heads of departments to make any significant changes to the status quo. Foreign teachers will continue to come and go and leave no real lasting impact and Thailand will continually wonder why it fails so miserably on all the global league tables on English and academic accomplishment.</p>','','2016-07-20 03:05:55',1,'2016-07-20 03:05:55','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31149,85,'Five things I\'ve learned in SE Asia','five-things-ive-learned-in-se-asia','From smiling to haggling and crossing the road','Of these five realizations, I understand that perhaps none of them will do me any good back home, but then again, I don\'t see myself going home any time soon.','<p>I\'ve learned so much in the last 3+ years I\'ve been living in Southeast Asia.</p>\n<p>Very little of this earned knowledge will do me any good if or when I go back home to Amerika. These skills are rather region specific. They don\'t translate well to fully developed world cultures. Irrespectively, here\'s a list of five things I\'ve learned in SE Asia that won\'t do me much good back home.</p>\n<p><strong>#1: How to Cross the Street.</strong> Here in Yangon, knowing how to cross the street is an essential skill that all Yangonites do eventually pick up over time (or they die).</p>\n<p>Zebra crossings be damned. Yangoners go from curb to curb whenever they damn well feel like it. As the traffic here is horrible, cars traveling no faster the waves rolling in upon a shore, crossing the street in Yangon is like gauging the surf as it rolls into shore. In Yangon, we traffic surf.</p>\n<p><strong>#2: Smiling:</strong> I suppose this is the least of my regionally specific points. Wherever you go, smiling at people you don\'t know puts them at ease. They\'re more likely to be friendly back at you.</p>\n<p>That said, in places where they rarely ever meet a foreigner and therefore are a bit scared and intimidated by the whole experience, simply smiling makes a world of difference. When you smile at people, they smile back.</p>\n<p><strong>#3: Realizing When People are Just Trying to Take Advantage of You.</strong> In both positive and negative ways, farangs get treated differently by the locals. One could write a whole book on this topic, but figuring out when someone else\'s interest in you is solely based on them seeing you as a walking ATM as opposed to being a real person with genuine qualities and characteristics. Yeah, recognizing that differing interest can mean so much to the expat overseas.</p>\n<p><strong>#4: How to Haggle.</strong> Everyday, I get a taxi from one place to another. In a country where your transportation costs largely depend on your ability to get the fare you\'re supposed to pay, as opposed to the fare the taxi drivers want to charge based on the color of your skin. Knowing how to haggle is a key skill.</p>\n<p><strong>#5: Not Letting the Little Things Bother You: </strong>Things work differently here. Things happen at a different pace. The worst thing a foreigner living in SE Asia can do is to carry their First World expectations as to how things should proceed, how efficient or competent the people you deal with should be, and how how things that are broken should be fixed.</p>\n<p>Just drop any thought of how you think things should be. They do things differently here, and it often bares no resemblance to how we think things should be taken care of.</p>\n<p>Of these five realizations, I understand that perhaps none of them will do me any good back home, but I don\'t see myself going home any time soon.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I also have a YouTube page with lots&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/user/JokoLondo\">more stuff about the teaching lifestyle in Myanmar</a></p>','','2016-07-20 05:00:33',1,'2016-07-20 05:00:33','2016-07-20 19:07:34'),(31164,95,'A cog in the wheel','a-cog-in-the-wheel','The eternally pointless blame game','The participants in a school\'s operation are called stakeholders.

When you look into a watch of this sort, you can\'t help but wonder why so many little gears are needed! With so many little parts (interestingly called \'complications\'), is there a threat of poor reliability? Is it difficult to service? Are fewer parts not better?</p>\n<p>During my idle moments when my brain is not yet at optimum capacity, I like to browse through the funny pictures posted on www.uberhumor.com. Lots of photographs of silly Americans and cute cats. Recently, I came across this peach:</p>\n<p>\n<style><!--\nimg.cogs {\n    display: block; \n    margin-left: auto; \n    margin-right: auto; \n    width: 100%;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 500px) {\n    img.cogs {\n        width: 50%;\n        float: left;\n        padding: 8px;\n    }\n}\n--></style>\n</p>\n<p><img class=\"cogs\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cogs_image1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><img class=\"cogs\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/cogs_image2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The poster is trying to take the mechanical workings of a gears as a metaphor for how education works. It is amusingly flawed, but the metaphor is pretty useful.</p>\n<h3>Cogs in the educational wheel</h3>\n<p>The participants in a school\'s operation are called stakeholders. Parents, teachers and students are perhaps the key stakeholders. But there are a lot of other stakeholders too: the school principal, doctoral experts from a specialist university, government officers and ministers, the school staff, the students\' peers, the vocal mothers\' group, the old grandmother on the corner. Any (or all) of these contribute to, and can have a say in how things are run in a school.</p>\n<p>More stakeholders means there is greater input and more resources available. But like a complex watch, the more stakeholders, the more things there are to go wrong.</p>\n<p>In education, the greatest problem is the conflicting agenda of the different stakeholders. Teachers and parents want more money spent while finance and administration want more efficiency for what money there is available. And so on.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest problem with multiple stakeholders is the dilution of responsibility. When things go right, everything is fine, but when things go wrong, someone must be to blame. To my mind, this blame-game is problematic.</p>\n<p>In struggling private schools, the scale of things allows it to be easily seen. Student numbers drop - the parents blame the school, the owner blames shoddy teaching, the teachers blame the lack of resources. Or something along those lines. If Superman were to land to save the day, which department would he fix?</p>\n<p>When we get to the state school system, things are far more complex - like that fancy watch.</p>\n<h3>Fixing faulty cogs</h3>\n<p>At the ministry level, there is constantly a search for ways find fixes. Problems are identified and pulled apart, and interventions are created and put into force. And then nothing changes. For some reason teachers don\'t implement the change. Why a change in policy doesn\'t lead to changes in the classroom is then baffling. You can almost hear them saying \'Those teachers won\'t do as we tell them!\'</p>\n<p>But, again, it\'s more complex than that. The world of education is notoriously conservative.</p>\n<p>Teachers look back on the halcyon days of their own education as the model for how things should be. Experienced teachers are given positions of power, and then say things like, \'We have been doing things this way for years and it works\'.</p>\n<p>Studies on teacher practice have identified a fascinating thing called the \'apprenticeship of observation\' - teachers tend to teach the way they were taught. In a climate where the past directs the future, innovative government policies (for what they are) meet a brick wall of resistance. And perhaps rightly so - as teachers, we have pressing concerns of making and marking tests and dealing with difficult classes.</p>\n<p>Can policy makers at a boardroom table say anything that will make our job at the coalface easier?</p>\n<h3>Doing what we can</h3>\n<p>Is there a solution? Like a good watch, things can only really work smoothly in the schooling system when everyone does their little part. Each cog has its function, moves at its own speed, and somehow contributes to the success of the whole.</p>\n<p>As foreign English teachers, much as it pains me to say so, we really do have a very small part to play. But if you look closely at the inside of the watch, even the tiniest cogs play some important role - without them, the big cogs aren\'t going to do what they need to do. Unlike a watch, however, in education if something is broken, it can\'t simply be replaced.</p>\n<p>Teachers moralizing about poor government policy is as destructive as school owners shouting about shoddy teachers. Instead, dealing with the broken cogs in a school requires patience from all the stakeholders.</p>\n<p>While sharing views can be useful if it is done in the right spirit, our duties are usually clear: going back to that peachy poster, the responsibility of all the stakeholders (including the students\') is to the students\' learning: finger pointing achieves nothing except to self-justify an abdication of that responsibility.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-07-22 18:31:19',1,'2016-07-22 18:31:19','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31175,71,'Applying for a Thai driving licence','applying-for-a-thai-driving-licence','Surprisingly it\'s not that difficult.','I arrived just after 8:00, and was out of there by about 12:30, which considering my experiences with the Georgia DMV in the US, is a walk in the park - and the majority of the staff there were nothing but smiles.','<p>I\'ve been saying I\'d get a Thai car/motorcycle driving license for about four years now, but just had never gotten around to it. After years of experiences with US Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offices, I wasn\'t exactly in a hurry to deal with what I expected would be an even worse experience. Luckily for me, I was wrong!</p>\n<h3>Take a Thai</h3>\n<p>I went to the \"main\" Bangkok office just next to Mo Chit BTS. I was especially surprised that the majority of stuff I needed to do/watch was available in English (or almost-English) soundtrack (for how-to videos) and/or subtitles (for the required hour-long safety video, consisting primarily of some hot Thai movie star named Manow... I\'ve seen worse).</p>\n<p>That said, almost none of the paperwork was in English, and few of the staff I encountered spoke enough English to ask any real questions, so I\'d highly (highly) recommend taking someone Thai with you to avoid frustration.</p>\n<p>I won\'t go into huge details about what to do to get the license, <a href=\"http://www.thailandguru.com/thailand-drivers-license.html\">but will suggest you check out this webpage</a> for a fairly detailed and up-to-date (as of July 2016) process of what you need, <a href=\"http://chiangmaibuddy.com/thai-driving-license-exam-test-questions/\">and here for a link containing</a> *literally* 85% of the current motorcycle license \"exam\" questions, which are surprisingly available in English (but only just). You\'ll also want to make sure you have 2 copies of everything important from your passport AND work permit (it seems to be a no-go without a work permit), and your current foreign license; just take those to the copy lady just inside the building and she\'ll know exactly what you need.</p>\n<h3>Cutting corners</h3>\n<p>Note that the work permit serves as your required \"residency certificate,\" and you do NOT have to get one of those from your embassy or Thai immigration.</p>\n<p>If you have a US license (and I assume most European countries, but don\'t know for sure), you can bypass the \"written\" driving exam and practical driving test, which I understand requires you make an appointment at the time of application (in person, not over the phone), and return a month or so later due to backlog. You\'ll only have to do the color/reflexes tests (for car and motorcycle licenses), which are a piece of pie and/or joke; just copy what the Thais do and you\'ll be fine.</p>\n<p>In Thailand, though, you get a separate motorcycle/car license with different numbers, so I opted to kill two birds with one stone and get both the same day. My US license didn\'t cover motorcycles, so I had to do the 50-question computerized exam and practical driving test; for the exam, I *highly* recommend reviewing the questions (link above), as, with this being Thailand, you can\'t simply \"logic\" your way through the exam, and you must get 45/50 to pass; they\'re looking for specific (often random) answers, and when you see the questions above you\'ll understand what I mean. I never would have passed without reviewing the questions/answers just before the exam. (Apparently, it IS legal to drive a tank through Bangkok...)</p>\n<h3>On two wheels</h3>\n<p>For the motorcycle driving test, there really wasn\'t much to it; the hardest part was driving across a narrow raised platform for 10 seconds without falling off, but ironically enough, of the four of us taking the test, I, the foreigner, was the only one to pass the first time; all of the Thais apparently missed the last stop sign. Just pay attention, heed the stop signs, and you\'ll be golden. I will note that the motorcycle you can rent there (50 baht, automatic) is OLD and doesn\'t exactly handle nicely.</p>\n<p>All in all, though, I arrived just after 8:00, and was out of there by about 12:30, which considering my experiences with the Georgia DMV in the US, is a walk in the park. The majority of the staff there were nothing but smiles, and aside from having to go through the usual bureaucratic BS, it was surprisingly painless. I now have two licenses for 510 baht total, shiny and all, that are valid for two years; apparently I can renew them both for five years just after they expire with just another eye/color/reflex test and payment.</p>\n<p>If nothing else, they\'ll make nice good luck medallions to hang in the secondhand car I\'m about to buy.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

The headline was <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1046177/attack-on-foreigners-gives-tourism-operators-jitters\">&lsquo;attack on foreigners gives tourism operators jitters\'. </a></p>\n<p>Yes, it was another story of foreigners being assaulted and mugged in Thailand. Tales of this nature seem to be becoming more and more commonplace these days - or they are if you spend enough time on social media.</p>\n<p>To summarize, an Italian and a Moroccan, both in the country to study kick-boxing, took a ride out to a local beach in Prachuap Province on their rented motorcycle and ran out of gas on the way back home. It was while they were pushing their motorbike along dark and deserted roads that they were set upon by three Thai guys. The bandits made off with cash, passports and credit cards - and the motorcycle. Judging by the photo that accompanied the article, the foreigners also sustained a few cuts and bruises.</p>\n<p>Not for a moment am I condoning the assault because it\'s a terrible thing to happen but I read other accounts of this story from various news sources and not once in the Bangkok Post article does it mention that the attack actually took place at two &lsquo;o\' clock in the morning. I happen to think that\'s an important detail to miss out. And trust me, I\'m a stickler for details. It\'s a crucial part of the story because anywhere in the world, not just Thailand, you are far more likely to be roughed up and parted from the cash in your pocket if you are wandering around in the dead of night.</p>\n<h3>Trouble in Pattaya</h3>\n<p>Here\'s another very recent story - this time from Pattaya. The headline screams<a href=\"http://pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/228635/beach-road-tourist-brutally-beaten-by-pattaya-motorbike-taxis/\"> &lsquo;Beach Road tourist brutally beaten by Pattaya motorbike taxi drivers\'</a>. And the story is accompanied by a photo of the unlucky and heavily bandaged Monsieur Gabrielly as he crawls along the floor in a clear state of distress. Apparently, all the 63-year old Frenchman had been doing was returning a rented motorcycle.</p>\n<p>Now, rather than cry out &lsquo;the bastards! Hunt them down and give them twenty years hard labour!\' (as many would) I tend to analyze the story, pick it apart and focus on what\'s NOT being said.</p>\n<p>This is a sentence from paragraph four - \"an argument developed after he [Mr Gabrielly] was refused the return of his 1000 baht deposit\". And that\'s really it. A crucial part of the story just glossed over in what becomes an unsupported, almost &lsquo;throw away\' line.</p>\n<h3>So what happened?</h3>\n<p>Why was he refused the deposit on the motorcycle? Was the bike returned damaged and in poor condition? Exactly how &lsquo;heated\' was the argument that ensued? What provoked a group of motorcycle taxi drivers - presumably a group of guys who work from the same pitch every day - to set about the foreigner? For me there are too many questions that go unanswered. Readers are only getting &lsquo;half of the story\'. You kind of get used to that in Thailand.</p>\n<p>As any expat who has lived here for a while will tell you, the Thais are generally a peaceful and non-confrontational people - but they have a tipping point. And oh boy, if you push a Thai over that line then just pray you don\'t get caught up in the eye of the storm. Things can get very nasty and very quickly indeed.</p>\n<p>It\'s possible that Monsieur Gabrielly demanded his rental deposit be returned and a gang of Thais - upon seeing him arguing with their friend the motorcycle renter - ran over and beat him up for the sheer fun of it. That would be just terrible.</p>\n<p>However, it\'s also possible that the foreigner started insulting all and sundry with some universally understood colorful language and perhaps even flipped the bird in the process. In other words, he pushed the locals over that tipping point. I don\'t know because the article doesn\'t tell me. I wasn\'t there to witness things either so I\'m not going to take sides and jump to conclusions based on half a story. In addition, eye witness accounts can often be sketchy and unreliable at best. It\'s surprising how versions of the same story can differ from person to person.</p>\n<p>I was talking about this story with one of my followers on Twitter - a gentleman who seemed to know a lot more than I was reading. According to him, the Frenchman in Pattaya not only returned the motorcycle to the hire shop two days earlier than anticipated (and possibly wanted a couple of days refunded) but also cancelled a taxi to the airport that he had booked in advance with the same business. I suspect neither change of plans went down well with the business owner.</p>\n<p>But hopefully you can see what I\'m getting at. The whole tale becomes even sketchier and the details more blurry.</p>\n<h3>The devil\'s in the details</h3>\n<p>I experience these same situations within the Thailand TEFL industry. Every so often, a disgruntled teacher will contact me and ask for space on the ajarn website to name and shame a previous employer and list all the horrible things that led up to that teacher\'s dismissal. Perhaps a bonus was not paid as promised or a salary was withheld for no good reason. Maybe a visa run was not subsidized. The list goes on and on - and it\'s all the employer\'s fault and never the teacher\'s.</p>\n<p>I don\'t entertain the naming and shaming of schools on ajarn for purely legal reasons but just as importantly, I\'ve learned over the years that there are nearly always two sides to every story. I may well have the teacher\'s version of events but it\'s crucial to hear the school\'s side as well. You can only make sound judgements based on having ALL of the information.</p>\n<p>This is not me siding unfairly with teacher employers because I do appreciate that are some shocking employers out there - those who DO withhold salaries and bonuses etc, But there are also plenty of unreliable and unprofessional teachers.</p>\n<p>Be it a drunken tourist getting duffed up on Pattaya beach Road at midnight or a teacher who\'s being let go simply because he refuses to grade exams in his own time, you want the whole story.</p>','','2016-07-28 01:22:58',1,'2016-07-28 01:22:58','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31178,83,'Things I miss about Thailand','things-i-miss-about-thailand','Sense of community and the pace of life to name just two','I have been living in the US for the past several months, living a peripatetic and nomadic existence that is in many ways far more adventurous than the relatively quotidian and pedestrian life I lived as a teacher in Bangkok.

People often expect me to have stories like a character in a Graham Greene novel or a National Geographic anthropologist.</p>\n<p>And Bangkok: city of angels, food, sounds, smells, traffic, cacophony, piety, sin, contradiction, luxury malls, expat lewdness, ostentatious wealth alongside abject destitution, and a truly idiosyncratic sex industry. How did I manage to live so far from home in such a strange place for several years? And how have I changed as a result of my experiences there?</p>\n<p>I cannot answer these questions right now. My self-awareness hasn\'t caught up with my new surroundings. What I have noticed, however, is that there are many things about Asia that I miss. I believe it was Warren Miller who said, \"Once you take that first lift ride, your life will be messed up forever.\" Warren was of course referring to skiing, but I guess it\'s the same when a man travels to Asia. That singular mixture of chaos and confusion becomes an addiction, and wanderlust has no cure but more travel and novelty.</p>\n<p>I have been living in the US for the past several months, living a peripatetic and nomadic existence that is in many ways far more adventurous than the relatively quotidian and pedestrian life I lived as a teacher in Bangkok. To my surprise, there has been little reverse culture shock. In fact, I even like the comparative lack of bureaucracy and increase in order. How does Thailand manage to have more bureaucracy and yet more chaos as well? God knows, but that\'s part of its appeal, isn\'t it?</p>\n<p>Then again, there are far more petty rules in the West: no smoking outside of bars in New York (I don\'t smoke, but really?), open container laws, jaywalking laws much stricter than those in Singapore, etc. I suppose I will have to get used to this before I try to bribe my way out of a traffic ticket.</p>\n<p>With climate change increasing the heat, the temperature in Colorado, where I am currently working on an organic farm, has not even been all that different from Bangkok\'s, though the humidity is of course greatly lessened. Western toilets are a nice perk, which you don\'t always find in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I find that there are many things about life in Southeast Asia that I miss. Here are a few notable ones:</p>\n<p><strong> Food</strong></p>\n<p>There are certainly some foods I am enjoying eating more often in the US, including French and Mexican cuisines, which are hard to find in Bangkok, but finding authentic Thai food has been near impossible so far. That blend of chili, Thai basil, and garlic that stimulates the senses isn\'t there any more, and I find myself adding copious amounts of garlic to everything I cook. The variety in the States is nice, but it\'s hard to beat the flavor of a good, Thai meal.</p>\n<p><strong>Prices</strong></p>\n<p>Everything in the US is at least twice as expensive. Certainly, things such as shaving cream are much cheaper, but overall living costs go up significantly. This does come with better infrastructure, but not as much better as you would expect. It seems like the US is pretty far behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to public transport, health care, and Internet access.</p>\n<p><strong>Overt Friendliness and Smiles</strong></p>\n<p>In most of the ASEAN region, but in Thailand and Laos especially, people were so friendly and helpful, accompanied by ubiquitous smiles. Even the language barriers did not mask the genuine curiosity and kindness of many people I encountered, particularly in Isaan and southern Laos. Almost everyone I have met in the US has been incredibly polite, helpful, and kind, but the playful mannerisms and smiles are gone. The kindness is there, but the hospitality and joviality are gone.</p>\n<p><strong>Pace of Life</strong></p>\n<p>I may not be living in a fast-paced area of Manhattan or Chicago, but there seems to always be more pressure to \"do something\" here in the West. This isn\'t necessarily a bad thing. The \"mai pen rae\" attitude in Thailand usually frustrated me. However, now that it\'s gone, I sometimes miss the days I spent idly wandering the streets of Bangkok, looking for serendipitous adventure.</p>\n<p><strong>Public Transportation</strong></p>\n<p>In Thailand, you can show up to a bus at 11:00 pm at night to go from Bangkok to Trat (about 6 hours away). Most bus routes longer than an hour in the US stop at about 7 pm. It certainly takes some getting used to. Taxis are far too expensive in the US. Ubers may be more reliable here than in Thailand, but you would be surprised how many towns still don\'t have Uber in the States.</p>\n<p><strong>Sense of Community</strong></p>\n<p>In many ways I would prefer a more integrated expat-Thai community in Bangkok, but many expats tend to congregate together. I disliked it at the time, but now that it\'s no longer there for me, I miss that sense of community. In a country with people from similar backgrounds such as the US, you have to work harder to find your own community of people with similar interests. Thank God for apps such as Meetup.<br /> <br />Now, I am off to new adventures. In September, I will be moving to Monrovia, Liberia for at least four months. T.I.T. (This Is Thailand) becomes T.I.A. (This is Africa). I am excited for my new travels, but I do hope to see Thailand again. Off to sign up for The North Face 100 km race in Khao Yai I suppose!</p>','','2016-07-28 18:06:59',1,'2016-07-28 18:06:59','2016-07-29 08:08:00'),(31182,52,'August 2016','august-2016','All the latest info from Thailand\'s leading TEFL and degree courses','Our usual monthly round-up of what\'s going on in the world of Thailand TEFL courses - promotions, deals, videos and more!','<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Thaistudents2.jpg\" style=\"color: #545454; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<hr style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\" />\n<p style=\"text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; font: 14px/22px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; white-space: normal; letter-spacing: normal; color: #545454; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai has been teaching a full-time 120-hour course for over ten years and can boast over 1000 graduates.

In every aspect of Thai society from murder to littering, there seems to be a casual enforcement of the law.','<p>One of the biggest grievances of expats living in Thailand is the enforcement of laws. In every aspect of Thai society from murder to littering, there seems to be a casual enforcement of the law.</p>\n<p>Thais and expats alike assume that the rich can do what they want to and the police forces are corrupt and lazy. The media in Thailand certainly provides us with evidence that this is so. But that\'s not the whole story.</p>\n<p>Usually, enforcement of the law in Thailand is used as a last resort when something goes wrong or every other avenue of resolution has been exhausted. By contrast, the letter of the law in Western countries is the very first &lsquo;go to\' when people feel aggrieved.</p>\n<p>For most disputes here, the police act as &lsquo;mediators\' when there are legal issues. People sit in a room and negotiate a settlement. The police offer advice and prevent a breach of the peace. They usually take a benign approach until they are absolutely forced to intervene.</p>\n<p>In the West, we immediately report our lawbreakers to the police and then hand over all further decisions to them. There\'s no arbitration outside a courthouse and legal conflicts are at the mercy of a slow, expensive and impartial judicial system.</p>\n<h3>The Law</h3>\n<p>Thailand has a very detailed, fair and reasonable constitution of laws. In fact, they usually weigh heavily in favor of the poorer elements of society. Also, for the most part, the law is generally (albeit slowly) headed in the right direction. Animal rights are a good example of this. In civil disputes, the laws of obligations, property law, family law and succession, etc, are reasonable, fair and clear.</p>\n<p>Just look at the labor laws in Thailand. If you took them literally, every worker could just about take every Monday off work and their employers would have no legal way to prevent them from doing so.</p>\n<h3>The Enforcement Of Law</h3>\n<p>But here we are back at the enforcement of laws... or the lack thereof, and the mystery of why and how this comes about as far as Western eyes are concerned.</p>\n<p>There is no doubt that corruption exists. There\'s a sinister element of the enforcement of law, that is self-serving and almost impossible to control. Every country has its own issues with this and Thailand is no exception.</p>\n<p>But there\'s another aspect of Thai culture which affects the way the laws are enforced. There is a difference between being affected by a &lsquo;law-breaker\' and being a victim of a &lsquo;law-breaker\'.</p>\n<p>For example, you may see a remote roadside convenience store selling a bottle of beer outside the legal hours. The law has been broken, but there\'s no victim here. Nobody has been affected by this \'crime.\'</p>\n<p>Also, with traffic laws (speed limits, crash helmets, etc). These laws are clear and we all know them, but they aren\'t seriously enforced. Rather, they are used as legal tools after an accident occurs.</p>\n<p>More seriously, the authorities have recently been trying to relocate street markets and bus terminals. Many of them are operating illegally, but these businesses are given plenty of time to relocate. When the deadline passes, there\'s an extension and then another and then another... Then finally, after years of obstruction, begging and gnashing of teeth, the inevitable happens and the legal process finally sends in the bulldozers.</p>\n<p>In the West, people might be inclined to report a business or an individual for breaking the law and that business or person may suffer severe consequences as a result. In Thailand, there\'s simply no harm in buying a bottle of beer at quarter past two in the afternoon. And driving without a helmet (whilst not recommended) is a victimless crime. Common sense always prevails.</p>\n<p>OK, those are minor transgressions of the law... so let\'s look at something more serious.</p>\n<h3>The Anecdote</h3>\n<p>Years ago, a farang teacher I worked with went out, got drunk and forgot his apartment swipe-key. It was late at night and he couldn\'t wake anyone up so he kicked in the glass door, climbed through the hole and went to bed. The whole thing was captured by the CCTV camera aimed at the door. The next day the police were called.</p>\n<p>What would have happened in your country?</p>\n<p>In this case, the apartment manager, two policemen and the hungover teacher sat down and negotiated a settlement. (I was a witness as the police had advised the teacher to have one.)</p>\n<p>The teacher paid for a new door, a surprisingly expensive one, wink wink. He was evicted from the apartment building the same day and the police went home. No arrest, no fines (apart from the, ahem,  massively expensive door) and no criminal records or proceedings.</p>\n<p>Everyone was very polite, iced water on the table and smiles all around. The potentially rather nasty issue was entirely resolved in favor of everyone. Even the nervous teacher thought he\'d gotten off very lightly... and I agreed with him! It was a surprisingly conciliatory affair that I will never forget.</p>\n<h3>Is \'Different\' So Wrong?</h3>\n<p>So, for a Westerner living in Thailand we should understand and accept that, in most cases, the &lsquo;rule of law\' is a guideline and last resort. It\'s never the first option to resolve most legal matters. As much as you may feel that it\'s wrong, there are many instances (big and small) where it may even work in your favor.</p>\n<p>The enaction of common law or the application of common sense... which do you prefer?</p>','','2016-08-01 02:31:41',1,'2016-08-01 02:31:41','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31197,59,'Picture descriptions','picture-descriptions','A great way to improve a student\'s listening skills','Picture descriptions are a great listening practice tool. Students enjoy it because it involves drawing. Give them a try in your classes!','<p>I was lucky to have a very good grade 6 student in my school that I have taught since he was in grade 1. So when our school was invited to join a multi-skill competition (A contest where students would be tested in reading, writing, speaking and listening) I didn\'t have a second thought of fielding him to represent our school.</p>\n<p>He was already good in reading and speaking so I just had to polish his writing and listening. Writing practice was done when he and I had free time but listening had to be tackled in class.</p>\n<p>Since I couldn\'t do two things effectively in a hyperactive class, I decided to shift gear. Instead of learning the topic scheduled for the week, I trained my contestant by doing the lesson on picture description for the whole class for I was informed that the judge would tell  the contestants to  draw on their  paper using several prepositions, then their drawing would be compared with  the original picture to get corresponding   points.</p>\n<p>To begin with, I reviewed prepositions to my students.  I listed the names of my 15 students on the board and assigned a scorer.  I gave each student paper for their drawing. For the first drawing I asked them to draw a house in the middle of their paper. On top of the house was a bird. Above the bird was a smiling sun. On the right side of the house was a tree. In the tree was a nest. On the left side of the house was another tree. Under the tree was a little boy standing. Next to him was a little dog.</p>\n<p>When I finished, I collected the papers with their names, showed the original drawing, and they were saying their ohs and ahs. I checked every paper, called out the students\' points, and they looked at their scores.</p>\n<p>It was amusing because a number of students who were not that good in oral communication yielded good scores compared to the students who did well. That meant that these students were good at listening.</p>\n<p>I did the second and the third and the fourth picture description using other prepositions in front of, between, near, behind, and under, etc. using different objects, animals, and people.  As usual I checked their work, gave them scores, and determined the winner. Of course, my best student won. This was his practice and I had another picture description in their next English class.</p>\n<p>Overwhelmed by the success of this activity, I did it with my other classes in Grade 4 and Grade 5. As expected, I got similar responses from the students. As a reward for their good behavior, active participation and studying English well, we played it again. Next time, the good students will be ones to act as a teacher so that they can practice their English. I will only provide the pictures to dictate.</p>\n<p>The nice thing about the activity was that I didn\'t mind the students\' drawings. No matter how the drawing looked, as long as they were suggestive of the idea and placed on the right location, it would be considered correct.</p>\n<p>Picture description is a good listening assessment. Students enjoy   it because it involves drawing. Sometimes they get excited because they can get high points for easy exercises. But when you have good students, empower them to act as teachers so that we can develop them more.</p>\n<p>With barely two weeks of preparation, my student ranked 2nd out of 22 schools in the district with 1 point difference against the champion. It wasn\'t bad.  I had the feeling that he did well because of his picture description training which was one part of multi-skill competition was.</p>','','2016-08-03 22:25:31',1,'2016-08-03 22:25:31','2016-08-04 12:12:32'),(31198,41,'Mother\'s Day essays','mothers-day-essays','Making sure the right student wins!','Every August, we have a writing competition at school to celebrate Mother\'s Day.

My job is to pick out the best three of them. These will be read aloud at some of the Mother\'s Day ceremonies we have at our school over the next few days.</p>\n<p>I do this every year and it\'s really easy. The first thing I do is discard all the ones that were run through &lsquo;Google Translate\'. This is almost all of them, so I\'m then left with about half a dozen from which to choose the best three.</p>\n<p>I have no idea who the authors are as I don\'t know any of their full Thai names, but this year was very interesting. There was one particular stand out. The winning entrant contained mostly awful English but it was the English that he knew and it had obviously not been translated from Thai by a computer. It was also a genuinely open-hearted love letter to his mum that moved me.</p>\n<p>So, I took the essays back to the head English teacher with my nominations (and corrections) and she said: \"Are you sure?\" In fact, she questioned me closely over and over and wanted to know if I would consider re-thinking this decision.</p>\n<h3>I learned my lesson.</h3>\n<p>Well, a few years ago, the first time I was given this dubious duty of adjudication, someone changed my decisions and the students that I thought were most deserving of the best essay award weren\'t the same students that were invited to the podium to read their work in front of the whole school.</p>\n<p>That pissed me off and I learned my lesson. Now, each year, I go to the classes directly, identify the winners and we all have a big round of applause so the results can\'t be changed later in favor of more, er... \'deserving\' kids.</p>\n<p>Hey, if you don\'t want my opinion, don\'t ask me, right? I\'m quite happy to be left out of the process if my input doesn\'t mean anything.</p>\n<p>But this year was a real shocker, even to me. It turned out that the \'winner\' was a lad who had been traditionally regarded as a \'slow learner\' and was also a bit of a class clown. But of all the essays that weren\'t proof-read by Google, his was easily the best and I confess I took a guilty pleasure in seeing the faces of all the other kids in the classroom (especially the girls) who were visibly displeased that he\'d risen to the top of the heap and won top honors.</p>\n<p>Every year I make it very clear to the students and teachers that anything run through a translator won\'t be considered but this never stops them from doing it anyway. That\'s fine by me. It saves me hours of reading the essays!</p>\n<p>Actually, I was tempted to throw in a few of the bizarre translations into this article just for the comedy of it, but you\'ve probably seen thousands of similar English language comedies of your own.</p>\n<h3>Just roll with it.</h3>\n<p>I don\'t mind the cheating. It makes no difference to me how the students want to present themselves and their work. It certainly has no impact on what and how I teach. I feel a bit put out when they swear on a stack of voodoo dolls that their essays really are original and all their own work... then when I ask them what one of the translated words mean, of course, they don\'t know.</p>\n<p>At the end of November, I\'ll get another two hundred essays to look at. This time, they\'ll be about dads. (Father\'s Day is on December 5th.)

There has been a considerable effort made to produce this stuff but that doesn\'t make it any more than what it is... a feeble-minded attempt to profit from the cash-cow industry of trying to make education fun and attractive to kids.</p>\n<p>If you really enjoy your work and genuinely like your students then you\'ll already have the skillset needed to be able to determine what kids will enjoy while they are learning. My rule of thumb is... if I don\'t like it, my students won\'t either.</p>\n<p>If you are bound by a strict curriculum then your options may be somewhat limited. In most Thai schools though, if you are accepted as a serious teacher by your colleagues and  your employers then you can work in your own methods of teaching with your own materials.</p>\n<h3>Fantasy rules!</h3>\n<p>The rules of fantasy plots have always been the same, from the centuries old, nightmarish tales of The Brother\'s Grimm to modern movies like Harry Potter.</p>\n<p>There has to be someone you can identify with or root for, there have to be good guys and bad guys... and in the end, the good guys must win.</p>\n<p>That\'s it. It\'s not complicated. Every story ever told (that was worth telling) is based on this simple recipe. There are different ways of telling these fantasies ranging from Snow White to Star Wars but the song remains the same.</p>\n<p>For educators, the secret is to know which worlds to adopt and adapt into teaching tools.</p>\n<p>Over the years I\'ve come up with many different, interesting and varied fantasy worlds with which to hypnotize my prathom students (aged 12 and under) but none of them have had the enduring and addictive effect of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This incredible movie has all the ingredients needed to make English classes fascinating and addictive.</p>\n<p>To make it work as a teaching tool took hundreds of hours of preparation. It\'s a very long movie and some of it is a bit naff. So I edited it down to three half-hour chapters and added colored captions. Over the course of a month, we watch, study and learn English in this fantasy world. There are quizzes after each episode and related apps the students can play, too.</p>\n<h3>Believe in the unreal!</h3>\n<p>Whatever you think of the impact this has on the actual learning of the English language, for me and my students, it\'s just plain good fun. When Thai youngsters are faced with a bewildering subject to learn at school, half the battle that teachers have is getting kids to take an interest in it.</p>\n<p>If you have the freedom at your school, there are few better ways of capturing your student\'s attention than through fantastical worlds of make-believe.

There is NO SOAP in any of the toilets at our large school. I have a private toilet annexed to my classroom, so my own situation is different, but as any foreigner teaching in Thailand knows, shaking hands with hundreds of small, grubby students every day can\'t be very hygienic. It\'s because of the soap issue that I simply don\'t do it, even when the tiny paw is thrust in front of me. I\'m not rude about it. My coffee flask will switch to my \'shaking hand\' if I see a student headed towards me with Western style familiarity on his mind!&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Frankie says</h3>\n<p>Our school insists on having weekly teachers\' meetings even when there is nothing on an agenda and nothing to talk about! I think that management see it as some sort of bonding exercise to get all the teachers together in one room for a couple of hours each week but truth to told, we would just rather go home early if there is no purpose in having a meeting.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Kenneth says</h3>\n<p>I\'d like to see more people from the front office moving around the school classrooms and paying more attention to the teachers and what they are doing. It appears to me that if there were more supervision, the amount of time playing games and checking in with Facebook would plummet! And I swear I have never worked at a place where the employees can fall asleep anywhere at the drop of a hat!  Then again, it\'s none of my business and what they do doesn\'t affect me so I shouldn\'t really care.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Steve says</h3>\n<p>The accountant at my school is such a fearsome woman.

I\'d say hiring one more teacher to cover the \"miscellaneous\" classes that pop up whenever someone at the international school I\'m  at gets \"moved up\" to admin.

It was our very first date - so probably around 1996. Some couples go out for a meal or to see a movie but I took my shy, new girlfriend to see Erasure. Erasure have always been one of my &lsquo;guilty pleasures\'. I love their stuff.</p>\n<p>The gig took place in a nightclub of sorts but sadly it\'s no longer around - torn down years ago when that area of Ratchdapisek Road was re-developed. I can\'t even remember its name but the word &lsquo;Phuture\' keeps popping into my head. Perhaps a reader out there can help me fill in the blanks? Whatever the place was called, it was a remarkably intimate venue for a band that at the time could (and did) sell out the biggest concert venues in Europe. The nightclub held barely a thousand people so it\'s fair to say I felt extremely privileged to be there.</p>\n<p>I have two clear memories of this gig. Firstly, the amazing party atmosphere outside the club with Bangkok\'s gay and lesbian community out in force, dressed to the nines in their finest feathers and sequins, and handing out free condoms to all those with tickets - and secondly, the unique method which Andy Bell and Vince Clarke used for choosing the set list. Both carried a stack of oversized cards and written on each card was the name of one of their best-known hits. The cards were shuffled and offered to a member of the audience (usually fans with the most flamboyant outfits) and then that particular song was performed. I thought that was such a novel idea and built a great rapport between the artists and the audience.</p>\n<p>Twenty years later, my wife doesn\'t remember a thing about that night but I must have made an impression because we\'re still happily married.</p>\n<h3>UB40</h3>\n<p>This gig would have been about 1994 and I went along with a teaching colleague who managed to secure two tickets (not that the concert was sold out as I recall). It was one of the last times that Nick and I socialized together. He returned to England the year after and the last I heard he was earning a living driving a taxi around Southampton.</p>\n<p>Whilst the &lsquo;yoobees\' were not exactly at the height of their fame, they were still a big draw. The venue chosen was Hua Mark Indoor Stadium, next to Ramkhamhaeng University. I\'m not sure what the set-up is like now, or if it even still holds concerts, but back then Hua Mark Stadium was an all-standing affair.</p>\n<p>There were three reasons I had to show my face at this gig. The rented house I was living in at the time was just a five-minute walk away. Secondly, UB40 are from Birmingham. Last but not least and if I\'m allowed to name-drop a little here, I worked for several years near Balsall Heath, where most of the band lived with their families, and I would regularly see the likes of Astro, Earl Falconer and The Campbell Brothers doing a bit of shopping in the local Tesco.</p>\n<p>I actually became quite friendly with Brian Travers, the ginger-haired saxophone player, and he would always stop for a chat whenever our paths crossed. As music journalists have written many times about the members of UB40, you couldn\'t meet a more down-to-earth bunch of guys.</p>\n<p>My lasting memory of that UB40 gig in far-flung Ramkhamhaeng is the heat. It was unbelievable. I\'m not talking about outside the stadium, I\'m talking inside. As soon as Nick and I entered the hall, we just looked at each other horrified - \"the bloody place doesn\'t have air-con\"</p>\n<p>But credit where it\'s due, the boys from Birmingham treated fans to a terrific set packed with all the songs we\'d come to hear - Red, Red Wine, One in Ten, Food for Thought, King - they were all there.</p>\n<p>Even though Nick and I were stood some way back from the stage, you could clearly see the guys were suffering up there. Between songs, the whole band used those precious moments to towel themselves down. I wonder if as UB40 look back over their career, they\'ve ever played a gig quite like that one.</p>\n<p>Just out of interest, a few months later the same venue hosted The Cranberries. I didn\'t go. I was still trying to put back on the two stone I had lost at the UB40 gig.</p>\n<h3>Shed Seven</h3>\n<p>I\'m not arranging these events into any sort of chronological order but Shed Seven would also have been about 1994 - and don\'t worry, I\'ve already heard the choruses of &lsquo;Shed who?\'</p>\n<p>Shed Seven are a British indie band from York and although they\'re probably still gigging in some capacity, mainstream success has always eluded them. But during their &lsquo;five minutes of fame\' (sorry if that sounds harsh Shed 7 fans) they released a fine debut album in 1994 (Change Giver) and from it came the catchy hit single &lsquo;Speak Easy\', which got considerable airplay on Thai radio stations.</p>\n<p>On the back of a steadily growing Thailand fan base, the &lsquo;Sheds\' embarked on a mini Asian tour and played Bangkok\'s MBK Hall at the top floor of Mahboonkrong Shopping Centre. That too was an all-standing venue.</p>\n<p>At the time, I was working at a private language school with a teacher called Tony. Born and bred in Barnsley, Tony was every inch the gritty, northern &lsquo;ducker and diver\'. Think of Billy Casper in &lsquo;Kes\' but twenty years older. He also loved his music, particularly the lesser-known artists that only got played on late night radio. I\'m always grateful to Tony for getting me into Oasis, Echobelly, Portishead and Tricky.</p>\n<p>Tony invited me along to the gig and I naturally enquired about the cost of the ticket. I was a poor teacher back then and the last thing I wanted was to splash out on a band I\'d never heard of. Tony just laughed. \"Don\'t worry we\'re both on the guest list\"</p>\n<p>Neither of us was on any guest list at all but Tony had been blagging his way into concerts all his life. To watch him bullshit his way into not paying for a ticket was to watch a master at work. We got to MBK Hall about an hour before the gig and as bold as brass, Tony just marched up to the promoter\'s desk and told a girl with an &lsquo;access all areas\' badge that Rick Witter (the lead singer) had put our names on his VIP list.</p>\n<p>The conversation went back and forth for several minutes (Tony spoke fluent Thai by the way) before the crewmember was simply beaten into submission. By God, Tony\'s done it! She handed us two tickets.</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t a bad gig either - even if they did perform the hit single &lsquo;Speak Easy\' three bloody times.</p>\n<p>Footnote: There\'s a track on the Shed Seven debut album <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7HxhpQP-Nw\">called &lsquo;On an Island With You\'</a>. I don\'t want you to listen to the track in its entirety but just from 3.30 - 4.30. It\'s a minute of music that still gives me goosebumps. And that guitar raff is a slice of British indie pop perfection.</p>\n<h3>Pet Shop Boys</h3>\n<p>Impact Arena in Nonthaburi is Bangkok\'s largest concert venue and has a capacity of around 12,000 according to Wikipedia. It\'s a godawful place to get to and even worse to get back from - at least it is if you live in Samut Prakarn. When a concert finishes late at night and you\'ve got 12,000 people spilling out onto the streets and looking for taxis, you suddenly feel a long, long way from home.</p>\n<p>The Pet Shop Boys played Impact Arena in 2002 to promote their <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_(Pet_Shop_Boys_album)\">&lsquo;Release\'</a> album. It\'s a pleasant listen but certainly not their best. But that aside, is there a soul on earth who doesn\'t &lsquo;quite like\' or respect the Pet Shop Boys for the legacy of music they\'re going to leave behind?</p>\n<p>I remember back in my Birmingham nightclubbing days, a friend of mine asked if I had heard of a duo called The Pet Shop Boys. All I could think of was what a ridiculous name for a band. \"Mark my words, they\'re going to be massive\" my friend said. A couple of months later, &lsquo;West End Girls\' shot to number one in every country you care to mention and the rest as they say is history.</p>\n<p>I\'ve watched many YouTube video clips of the Pet Shop Boys in concert and they are nearly always notable for flamboyant costumes and exciting stage designs and backdrops. However the Bangkok gig in 2002 was an exception to the rule. It consisted of a plainly dressed Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe banging out hit after hit in front of what was basically a black curtain. Almost an acoustic concert if you like. But it was still an amazing night and &lsquo;West End Girls\' still managed to bring the house down.</p>\n<p>A word about Thai concert audiences - aren\'t they so incredibly well-behaved? My wife and I decided about third song into the set that we rather fancied moving closer to the front. After a couple of dozen &lsquo;excuse-mes\' and &lsquo;khootoot khas\' we found ourselves with elbows resting on the stage and virtually looking up Neil Tennant\'s nose. You could never manage a manouevre like that at a concert in England</p>\n<h3>Bryan Ferry / Pretenders</h3>\n<p>Pinch me I must be dreaming. That was my reaction to hearing Bryan Ferry was coming to town - and supported by Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. Surely the promoter had made a mistake and done a double booking for the same night? I\'ve been a fan of Ferry since The Roxy Music days and I\'ve always been in love with Chrissie Hynde. I would have parted with significant cash to see either of them.</p>\n<p>I secured a ticket in advance and come concert night, made my way to The BEC Tero Hall, next to the old Lumpini Park night bazaar (is the venue still there?). I had hooked up with &lsquo;DJ Pat\', a young guy I chatted to regularly about music on an expat discussion forum. We met up for an early evening beer despite having bought separate tickets and being seated a fair way from each other.</p>\n<p>I\'m struggling to remember the exact year for this gig but I distinctly remember The Pretenders playing a couple of tracks from their recently released &lsquo;Human\' album. So I\'m going for 1999. It was certainly a night to party.</p>\n<p>However, it was a strange crowd that night. The majority of the audience seemed to be middle class or hi-so Thais who had probably come just to see Ferry whistle his way through &lsquo;Jealous Guy\'. Did they even know who The Pretenders were? As a result, the &lsquo;support\' band played to a very muted audience and you could detect Chrissie Hynde\'s frustration growing. \"What\'s it going to take to get you fuckers up out of your seats and dancing?\" she said at one point.</p>\n<p>Brass in Pocket, 2,000 Miles, Back on the Chain Gang, we got all the hits and more. DJ Pat and I enjoyed the set even if nobody else did. We kept texting each other between songs - \"what\'s wrong with these people?\" I tapped out.  And I had to chuckle when DJ Pat replied with \"I\'ve heard more noise in a fucking library\"</p>\n<p>When the lights dimmed to herald the arrival of Mr Ferry, DJ Pat and I had had enough. After a quick exchange of texts, we met up in the centre aisle and pushed our way to the front of the stage. Ferry came on as immaculate as ever in his trademark Anthony Price suit and open-necked white shirt. I was close enough to almost reach out and touch a trouser leg. Bryan had definitely started to look old and when he began the set with the gentle Irish ballad &lsquo;Carrickfergus\' I became concerned about what kind of evening we were in for. Then the saxophone fired up and he went into a blistering rendition of &lsquo;Let\'s Stick Together\'. Some songs are worth the price of an admission ticket alone. But it still took &lsquo;Jealous Guy\' to get the crowd up and on their feet.</p>\n<h3>The Scorpions</h3>\n<p>At secondary school in the late 1970\'s, I started to embrace what became known as &lsquo;New Wave\' - bands and artists such as The Police, The Stranglers, XTC and Elvis Costello. Joe Jackson became a particular favourite of mine. But in a class of about twenty boys, I remained something of an odd man out. Everyone else was deep into heavy rock - groups like Motorhead and Saxon and especially local megabands like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. However, it\'s a music genre I\'ve never been able to get into to this day.</p>\n<p>Then you have that genre of music that falls more under the label of &lsquo;soft rock\'. Although bands like Foreigner can certainly crank it up on stage, they tend to have a wider appeal because their songs - especially the ballads - become universally popular.</p>\n<p>When I first met my wife, she listened to nothing but soft rock and she played nothing but soft rock on the car stereo. Within months of going out with her, I knew every lyric to every Scorpions, Foreigner and Gary Moore track.</p>\n<p>Stranger things have happened I know but slowly the music started to grow on me. When The Scorpions played Queen Sirikit Centre in 2001, as part of their &lsquo;Acoustica\' Tour, my wife got hold of two good seats and in truth I didn\'t need much persuasion to go.</p>\n<p>I\'ve already commented on how quiet and &lsquo;low-key\' Thai concert audiences can be but this was one occasion when I saw Thais genuinely getting into it and enjoying themselves. I vividly remember one middle-aged guy in front of me, singing along to the hits with tremendous gusto. He looked like he was having the night of his life. It was good to see. The Scorpions have a large and loyal fan base in Thailand (as I\'m sure they do in most countries) and they went along and did themselves proud that night.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>When the band returned for a second encore, they invited fans to come up to the stage to shake hands. I\'ve never seen my wife move so fast. Without as much as a &lsquo;see you later\' she ran fully twenty rows of seats to shake Klaus Meine, the lead singer\'s hand. Mission accomplished,  you can just imagine the size of the grin on her face when she came back.</p>\n<p>As I write this, The Scorpions are due to play Bangkok again in the coming weeks. Is it their 30th anniversary tour? Their 40th? I\'m really not sure. The Scorpions seem to have been around forever. Klaus Meine is almost 70! And although I\'m not their biggest fan, you can never knock a band that has sold 100 million albums worldwide and brought so much pleasure to so many. There is always room in my record collection for a Scorpions Greatest Hits.</p>\n<h3>Darren Hayes</h3>\n<p>Every so often a particular singer becomes almost like the soundtrack to life in Bangkok and 2002 was definitely the year of Darren Hayes. Every restaurant you went to, every shopping mall you walked around and every taxi driver that tuned his radio to an English language station seemed to be playing something from either Savage Garden or the latest Darren Hayes\' solo album.</p>\n<p>The songs were catchy and pleasant enough but it still remains the only gig I\'ve ever been to on account of the performer being &lsquo;so cute\' That\'s how my wife sold it to me. But credit where it\'s due, he put on an amazing two-hour show at The BEC Tero hall near Lumpini Park, and I came away very impressed.</p>\n<p>My lasting memory of the show was how Darren Hayes chose to make his entry. When the house lights went down, everyone focused on the stage waiting for him to appear in the conventional way. Suddenly there were girly screams going off all around us. Darren had decided to make his way from the very back of the auditorium, and ease his way gently through his adoring fans, who naturally seized the opportunity to grab a hug. I\'ve never seen a man embraced by so many females in the space of ten minutes (albeit slightly ironic given the fact he\'s openly gay)</p>\n<h3>Oasis</h3>\n<p>I\'m struggling to come up with a year for the Oasis gig at Impact Arena but I\'ll take a shot at about 2000 / 2001 - around the time of their fourth studio album &lsquo;Standing on the Shoulders of Giants\'. Although Oasis were still massive globally, there was no doubt the decline had set in. Squabbles between the Gallagher brothers and other band members were well documented and you felt they\'d never make another &lsquo;What\'s The Story Morning Glory?\' - one of the greatest albums ever in virtually every music magazine opinion poll.</p>\n<p>But for all the trouble going on within the band, it didn\'t show in the performance. They delivered a tight set with a song list of crowd pleasers to send the 50/50 farang / Thai audience home happy. Wonderwall, Don\'t Look Back in Anger, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Live Forever - the hits just kept on coming. A rousing &lsquo;Supersonic\' was my own personal highlight of the evening.</p>\n<h3>Tom Jones</h3>\n<p>This was the last concert I went to and the only concert on the list that I was dragged along to kicking and screaming. My wife didn\'t want to miss Tom Jones but I couldn\'t let her go alone. What kind of husband would I be? So I reluctantly gave up my Sunday night football on TV.</p>\n<p>Even though I\'m not a Tom Jones fan, there is that elite group of superstar (Rod Stewart and Elton John come to mind) who have been performing for so many years that they\'ve achieved perfection on stage and you can\'t help but admire the showmanship on display. Into that category I would also insert Tom Jones. He\'s just so good at what he does. He might be getting on in years and the beard and hair may have turned grey but he had the sell-out crowd at Impact Arena in the palm of his hand.</p>\n<p>The women\'s underwear still got thrown on stage but everyone treats it as a joke these days and Tom weaves it into his entertaining between song banter. He knows his best years are behind him, but only just. He could certainly still belt out a tune. Thunderball for me is still up there with the best James Bond themes ever - and was I really just tapping my foot to Delilah?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I would love to hear about concerts that you have been to in Bangkok. Was anyone at The Depeche Mode gig at The Army Stadium or Bjork at MBK Hall? (both gigs that I missed) Don\'t tell me you saw The Clash at Thammasat University in 1982.What are the memories from your Bangkok concert nights?

I present the following arguments to support my position.','<p>While I was facilitating a course for experienced teachers once, the group was vociferously condemning the hold mobile phones have on today\'s youth. Midway through this communal tirade, a phone rang. The conversation duly stopped while one of the teachers had a polite conversation with her daughter about boiling potatoes. Oblivious to the irony of it all, the vilification of telephones in the classroom continued once the phone had been put away.</p>\n<p>Were these teachers right that teachers should not tolerate phones? Or was I right to have tolerated the interruption? Do the rules work differently for adults than for children? Should I have invoked the retribution on the group that they were threatening to give their students? Or are telephones the future which we should embrace, warts and all?</p>\n<h3>Position 1: The traditionalist</h3>\n<p>Telephones have become an integral part of modern life, to the extent that they are an intrusion and  compromise the long-term goals for our classrooms. I present the following arguments to support my position:</p>\n<p>1.	Our classrooms are meant to engender literacy, numeracy and critical thinking. An atmosphere conducive to concentrated thought is needed. The constant flow of twitter notifications and chat messages from irreverent friends doesn\'t contribute to this.</p>\n<p>2.	The telephone with its connection to the internet creates a state of dependency. Why learn anything when you can just google it. Why learn maths when you can just ask Siri for the answer? Why do anything when it\'s already been done! This modern technology isn\'t making learning easy, it\'s making plagiarism easy!</p>\n<p>3.	Modern gadgetry is contributing to reduced attention spans. This has been the focus of quite a lot of recent research. We read, but only if it\'s in short chunks. We are easily led astray by hyperlinks. We\'d rather watch a video than read. The fact that you are reading this blog may make you a member of a diminishing elite. As teachers, surely we should be discouraging this trend and promoting erudition.</p>\n<p>4.	The classroom provides an environment in which learners of similar age, level or goals are put together. In this face-to-face setting, delineated by clearly shared goals, the benefit of telephones in connecting people separated by time or space has no place. Our classroom  provides a wealth of resources simply through the connection between teacher with students - the telephone is an intrusion into the sanctity of this interactional opportunity.</p>\n<p>5.	Buzzing, flashing lights and vibrations are a distraction. Students may argue that they are the only ones distracted if their phone is on silent. But a message or call distracts the whole class. We already have research indicating a negative correlation between phone usage and test scores. The more phones going off in the class, the worse our class is going to perform.</p>\n<p><strong>Bring back the learning!</strong></p>\n<h3>Position 2: The innovator</h3>\n<p>Telephones have become an integral part of modern life, and their integration into the classroom offers the modern teacher remarkable opportunities. In fact, any teacher who disregards the power of the modern phone is not only inhibiting possible learning, but stands the chance of being hopelessly left behind by the skills and knowledge of the current generation. I present the following arguments in favor of this position:</p>\n<p>1.	With a phone, the modern learner (and the teacher) has access to many worlds of knowledge - both facts and opinions. The internet represents a democratization of information that is unprecedented. The teacher is no longer the source of knowledge, and our learners know that. Freed from the role of transmitting limited pieces of knowledge, teachers can now expand their role, and instead create activities that harness students\' creativity and problem solving skills that more closely mirror those required in adulthood.</p>\n<p>2.	Technology is motivating. Phones can keep even very small children occupied for hours - and to think we used to tell people that children had short attention spans! Utilizing this motivational resource in the classroom takes a huge burden off the teacher. Classrooms no longer need to be boring or tedious.</p>\n<p>3.	The growth of open-source applications is a testament to people\'s eagerness to share. What teachers have forgotten in the past is that learners have things they want to learn, which may not be the same as what some abstract curriculum has dictated. Offering learners the opportunity to decide, create and share taps into this natural urge. The process empowers students, and leads to the growth of learner autonomy.</p>\n<p>4.	In addition to being able to connect with people in other places, the modern telephone has a swathe of peripheral functions that simply can\'t be ignored. Sound recorders, video players, dictionaries! In the past, teachers complained about the difficulties involved with utilizing technology in the classroom - it\'s now bundled with the students, and ready to go! Any creative language teacher in the past would have loved the opportunity for students to record themselves and have immediate play-back facilities.</p>\n<p>5.	With the future closely tied into the technology revolution, incorporating telephones in the classroom creates learning opportunities for students that run beyond the boundaries of the traditional curriculum. Incorporating lessons about telephone etiquette, utilization of dictionary apps, and introducing students to new sources of ready knowledge prepare students for realistic utilization of knowledge relevant to their own lives.</p>\n<p><strong>Bring on the learning!</strong></p>\n<h3>A middle ground</h3>\n<p>Teaching is complex, and every teacher is different. Perhaps both these positions are untenable. We can\'t ignore phones, but they really can be quite irritating! Somehow or another we all have to find an uncomfortable path between these two extremes, ponder our options in a changing world, and somehow find a time and place for telephones. Here are 3 little suggestions for creating a telephone-friendly classroom:</p>\n<p>1.	Create specific goals for telephone activities - this will give the use of telephones a specific focus and drive an activity towards meaningful outcomes. For example, in a reading activity, you may allow students to search for word meanings in their dictionaries. In pronunciation lessons, you may ask students to record themselves saying sentences with the target sound, and then have them listen to themselves to see how they have done.</p>\n<p>2.	Create rules for when telephones may or may not be used. Open tasks may be telephone friendly, while teacher-based episodes when students need to be concentrating on the new material may be classified as no-telephone times. You could have two signs - one with a phone, and another with a phone crossed out so your position on telephone use is clear to the studnets for each activity.</p>\n<p>3.	Raise learners\' autonomy by having them decide how they think telephone usage may be best for their own learning. Include here a discussion on etiquette, and decide together when phones can be used, and what apps are \'classroom friendly\'.  You may be surprised that students have developed their own ideas of when phones should be disallowed. In one of my classes with teens, they implemented their own \'phone-fine\' system, with offenders contributing to a pizza party!</p>\n<p>There is quite a lot of academic interest in phones and the classroom. If you\'re interested, <a href=\"http://tmp.bol.ucla.edu/Philip_HER.pdf\">here\'s an example which summarizes some of the recent findings</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-08-12 04:38:51',1,'2016-08-12 04:38:51','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31244,20,'Life is unfair','life-is-unfair1','Is the low salary for TEFL work acceptable?','Having the opportunity to come to Thailand to teach English because of being a native speaker of English does not come with any specific entitlements. Teachers need to learn and accept this.','<p>A person is much more likely to achieve professional success and personal financial wellbeing by being born and raised in an affluent area of a developed economy as opposed to having been born and raised in a rural village in sub-Saharan Africa, Cambodia or Bangladesh.</p>\n<p>So far the greatest minds on the planet have not come up with a realistic approach to eliminate this unfairness.</p>\n<h3>Lingua franca</h3>\n<p>English has become the world\'s Lingua Franca giving native English speakers a major advantage in working internationally. We native English speakers are more or less the only people who can travel the world and find work without learning a foreign language.</p>\n<p>If you were born in Finland, if you don\'t learn a foreign language you would be limited to communicating with a few million people. This isn\'t fair, but as a native English speaker, I am not complaining. Someone from Finland who desires an international career can either learn English (and/or another widely spoken language such as Spanish or Arabic), or try to make Finnish the new world\'s Lingua Franca.</p>\n<p>Which strategy is more likely to lead to personal success for the individual?</p>\n<h3>To have the option or not?</h3>\n<p>As native English speakers, we have an opportunity which few other people have. This is the option to live in a foreign country by leveraging the ability to speak our native language without significant training or experience (unless one considers a 4 week TEFL course to be significant training).</p>\n<p>If you were born Thai, you don\'t have this option. If a Thai wants to travel and work internationally, the person will have to learn a foreign language and much of the time, unless having very specialized skills, have to start out doing menial jobs such as cleaning or working in the fast food industry.</p>\n<p>There is no easy path for the average Thai (I am not picking on Thais just using them as an example) straight into a \"professional\" position like teaching. This is not fair, and the Thai person wanting an international career can try to develop and expand the Thai language teaching industry or learn English (and/or another widely spoken language) and develop the skills and experience needed to have a professional international career.</p>\n<p>In many cases, at least at the university level, for a Thai to become a teacher in Thailand it even requires some foreign language skills. This isn\'t fair, but it is the way the world is now. Maybe in 50 years speaking Chinese will be the key to having a professional international career, but for now knowing English is the key.</p>\n<h3>There is no entitlement</h3>\n<p>It would seem, some teachers confuse having the opportunity to teach one\'s native language in a foreign country with the right to work anywhere in the world under desired working conditions. Having the opportunity to come to Thailand to teach English because of being a native speaker of English does not come with any specific entitlements. Pay and work condition are directly related to market conditions (in case some reader\'s haven\'t been paying attention Thailand is a developing economy with slow growth and decreasing investment and trade with Western nations)</p>\n<p>Supply and demand forces apply to workers whether they have studied the concepts or not. Teaching English in Thailand (or other countries) is generally not the path to riches, but it does provide a fantastic opportunity to explore the world, settle in a foreign land and/or do something a person can feel good about at the end of the day.</p>\n<p>Is the fact teaching English in Thailand pays less than being an oil or gas engineer in Saudi Arabia fair? I don\'t know, but I know the lower level of pay is a fact. One can accept this fact or try to eliminate or neutralize the forces of supply and demand.</p>\n<h3>Are you an agent or a victim?</h3>\n<p>If a person is thinking of becoming an ESL teacher, or other occupation for that matter, there are two basic approaches one can take. A person can approach one\'s career as either an agent or as a victim. An agent accepts the fact the world is unfair and works to maximize his or her opportunities. The victim whines, complains and \"hopes\" the world changes in a way which will favor the individual. Of course there is nothing wrong with trying to change the world in our political lives, but to rely on this strategy in our personal life would not seem to be playing the odds very well.</p>\n<p>Which approach is more likely to lead to professional success and personal satisfaction while teaching English in Thailand?

People driving in Bangkok are insane, I\'d say.</p>\n<h3>Why buy a car indeed?</h3>\n<p>Now, I\'m one of them/you. Why? Primarily to get out of the city, because I\'m getting too lazy and/or too old to deal with having to get a taxi to a bus to a bus/van/train station, waiting for it to leave, then having to take another bus/taxi when I finally get there. I\'m not 22 anymore, and the \"journey\" has lost its thrill. I\'d like to be able to see places you really can only see with your own wheels. I have no intention of driving for my daily commute (although I\'m also \"over\" the MRT/BTS at rush hour), but it\'s nice to have the option.</p>\n<p>So, <a href=\"/blogs/sam-thompson/applying-for-a-thai-driving-licence\">I recently got a driving license in Thailand</a>&nbsp;in preparation for finally getting a car. I had no intention of paying some huge sum for a highly overpriced (compared to the US, anyway) new car, so I decided secondhand was the way to go. Even secondhand, cars in Thailand are quite expensive! It\'s quite difficult to find a car under 200,000 baht that\'s not 10+ years old and/or has 150,000+ kms on it. Popular brands like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan tend to be priced higher too, and don\'t even get me started on the 200%+ import tax for European makes.</p>\n<h3>Take a Thai</h3>\n<p>Without someone Thai, it\'s not that easy to buy secondhand in Thailand, especially if you go the non-dealer route like I did. There are several websites that have a nice volume of listings (DooRot, TaladRod, and Fast2Car seem amongst the best), but A) the descriptions are typically only in Thai, B) they tend to want you to call anyway, and C) if you can\'t speak or read Thai... well, you get the picture. I also checked out several dealerships, but the prices there are generally much higher.</p>\n<p>Buying secondhand is always a gamble, but in the end I went with a low-km (&lt;80,000 km) Chevy LPG converted sedan and haven\'t had any problems thus far, paying cash to someone that advertised on TaladRod. It\'s certainly nothing special, but it\'s a decent enough economical little weekend beater that\'s small enough to [barely] navigate the maze of sois [tiny roads] it takes to get to my condo.</p>\n<p>Getting the paperwork put in my name was a bit of a hassle at the Land Office (Chatuchak, although you\'d go to whichever office is in your district); it took most of the morning, and again you\'d really need someone Thai to help out (or speak Thai fluent enough to understand legal/technical jargon) unless you\'re prepared to monkey everything out for hours on end, but all things considered it wasn\'t that different from the used cars I\'ve bought in the States.</p>\n<p>My understanding is that you <em>must</em> have a work permit to get the vehicle in your name with a valid visa, but I\'m sure there are exceptions for retirement and other visas; the only documents they asked me for were work permit and visa. Note that you don\'t technically even need a driving license of any type to buy a car, which pretty much sums-up driving in Thailand. My seller apparently has done this before, so I basically followed him around, and aside from the queues, it wasn\'t too painful.</p>\n<h3>Made life easier?</h3>\n<p>Is it worth the 185k I paid for the car? Well, I\'ve already had to make several trips to Nakhon Prathom which, using public transport, would have taken at least 2.5 hours versus the 40 minutes it took to drive (even with traffic, and in working aircon), and it sure is easier to go spend a lot of money you shouldn\'t be spending at Villa Market when you have a boot to put everything in.</p>\n<p>I\'ve only driven a handful of times since buying it earlier this month, as I still don\'t see the point in fighting traffic to try to find a parking spot at work every day; having driven in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Miami, Rome, Milan [by far the worst]... many of the big bad traffic cities, it\'s just not worth the hassle to me.</p>\n<p>Still, the knowledge that I <em>can</em> go somewhere if I want to is worth it, regardless of Bangkok\'s psychotic traffic.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

','<p>I have noticed many Filipino English teachers have gone back home. What makes   them leave Thailand for good? Is   teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) no longer challenging to them? Is it something to do with the remuneration they receive?</p>\n<p>In response to these questions, I talked to a number of Filipino teachers who are leaving in a term or two and tried to get some answers and find out their reasons for leaving.</p>\n<h3>Can\'t support my family</h3>\n<p>A teacher  from an agency in Bangkok said,\" There are so many reasons why I have  to go but the main reason why I want to quit my job here is because my  earnings these days aren\'t enough for the people I support back home. With my meager salary as a foreigner I can hardly cope with the rising cost of living in this country. I don\'t really understand why the administrators of the project which I have been teaching in for ten years have never given us a salary increase.\"</p>\n<h3>Three months of poverty</h3>\n<p>Another Filipino teacher from Nonthaburi said, \"I am only hired for 9 months with a 7, 000 baht allowance with tax for March, 7,000 baht with tax for April, and 6,000 baht with tax for October. So can you imagine how I live in this \"Land of Smiles\" considering that I have  to pay 3,000 baht each month for an apartment excluding, food, health, and other expenses? Enough is enough.\"</p>\n<p>A teacher working in Pathumthani province complained, \"on semester breaks, I can\'t get tutorial jobs from language centers because language center owners prefer native speakers or don\'t have tutorials because I teach public school students.\"</p>\n<h3>Too much change</h3>\n<p>One directly hired teacher said, \"It\'s really high time for me to say goodbye to Thailand because I am already tired of encountering   so many changes in our project\'s policies. In addition, supervision is becoming rigid and no consideration is given to an experienced teacher like me during observations. I am   treated as if I am like a newly hired teacher. \"</p>\n<p>\"During the renewal of contracts\" said another teacher, \"needless additional papers are required to be submitted. Notwithstanding the   stricter labor and immigration laws nowadays, the practice of \"no failure policy\" and   unmotivated students are all contributing to my departure.\"</p>\n<h3>Better students</h3>\n<p>One homesick teacher said, \"I miss teaching back home because the students are more dedicated to their studies. I can discipline them because they can understand me. In this country, I can hardly be understood. \"</p>\n<p>An excited teacher commented, \"The reason why I am   returning to teach in the Philippines is that a teacher in the Philippines (new graduate) will receive 36, 000 pesos (more than $1,000). On top of that the teacher will receive 4 thousand pesos (over a hundred dollars) allowance for chalk and teaching materials. Worth mentioning are the 13th and 14th month pay which Filipinos never enjoy here.\"</p>\n<p>I never thought that there are still teachers who feel this way but here are few more comments.</p>\n<h3>You can\'t get sick</h3>\n<p>\"The most discouraging policy in my project is that the committee discourages us from using our one day leave a month. We are advised, if possible, not to incur any absence which is tantamount to saying \"It is unlawful to get sick\", as if we are machines.  If I don\'t go to school, I hear   negative comments from my Thai counterparts.\"</p>\n<p>This is appalling.</p>\n<p>\"Imagine, I cannot leave the school earlier than 3:00 o\'clock in the afternoon to submit records in Bangkok at the end of the month even if my school is more than a hundred kilometers away. The reason they give is that the secretary will wait for us anyway up to 6:00 o\'clock in the evening. They never consider the time, the distance and the traffic we encounter in going to and fro considering that it is a pay day and we have to go to work the next day. \"</p>\n<p>\"I am going home for security reasons, nothing more.  I have no future here. What happens when I grow old? Unlike in the Philippines I can enjoy the benefits of the social security system of which I am a member for 10 years already.</p>\n<p>\"Why am I going home?  Well, I am going home for personal reason. My family needs me and after having lived and worked in Thailand for some time, enough is enough. I have learned to value my family.\"</p>\n<p>This is a very encouraging comment from a friend of mine.</p>\n<h3>Exploited by agencies</h3>\n<p>\"If conditions were better than before I might have had second thoughts about not going home. You know, I can speak Thai already. I have been tolerant of the Thai philosophy of \"Mai Pen rai\"  or \"Mai mi panha\" and the   \"Jai yen yen\". In other words I now understand  Thai culture and I just have to dance with it. But this is the end of the road.\"</p>\n<p>\"I have loved this country, my school, my students, my Thai friends and the low crime rate because of the extreme honesty of Buddhists. But sad to say, I have to go. In fact, this term 6 teachers in my project or even more than that from other projects will go back home. With the unpleasant experiences of Filipino teachers being exploited by teaching agencies, time will come, and not very far from now, our very good, hard working, and efficient teachers will all go home.</p>\n<p>As the incumbent president of the Philippines said in a speech,\" overseas foreign workers (OFWs) can come back to the Philippines after 6 years because at that time, the country will be better.\"</p>\n<p>Inspired by our Filipino saying, \"Mahaba man ang prosesyon sa simbahan din ang tuloy. (No matter how long a church procession goes, it will surely return to the church). \"After all, there\'s no place like home.\"</p>\n<p>It is unfortunate that Filipino teachers have started to leave Thailand because of stricter immigration laws, unending new policies, intolerable school practices as well as the positions awaiting them back home.</p>\n<p>May better things change in this country in favor of foreign teachers in terms of higher salary, annual raises, health insurance benefits, and job security so that Thai students  will continue to benefit from well-trained, experienced, and effective Filipino English teachers. But will that day ever come?</p>','','2016-09-04 08:11:12',1,'2016-09-04 08:11:12','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31274,20,'The ESL industry and wage ratios','the-esl-industry-and-wage-ratios','English teachers in Thailand actually don\'t do that badly','I am not trying to claim this is any type of scientific research with a high level of reliability or validity, just a quick check to get a basic idea about whether or not ESL teachers in Thailand are underpaid and exploited.','<p>I recently drove through my old neighbourhood and saw that two of the large English language schools which had previously been there for years had closed down. Although I did see a new but smaller school had popped up down the road a bit.</p>\n<p>This got me thinking about the nature of the ESL industry. Many comments on ajarn.com seem to assume owning a language school is the same as having a license to print money and vast riches are acquired by exploiting the English teachers.</p>\n<h3>Closed down</h3>\n<p>Many of the larger language school chains that dominated the industry when I first came to Thailand have either gone out of business or have scaled back considerably. It appears the business side of the industry is extremely competitive due to the low start-up costs and overall low barriers of entry into the industry. The churn seen in the industry would seem to indicate it is a tough racket to make a buck in; after all if you are raking in the dough, there is no reason to close down.</p>\n<p>While a look through the job ads on ajarn.com shows the need for ESL teachers in Thailand has not dried up, it also does not appear ESL to be a growth industry in the 21st century in Thailand. While I believe English will remain the world\'s lingua franca for the foreseeable fortune providing tens of thousands of English teaching jobs globally, there are reasons to believe there are many factors which will put downward pressure on wages and earnings here in Thailand for ESL teachers and school owners for the foreseeable future.</p>\n<p>For example, stagnant economic growth, declining levels of foreign investment into the country, a shift in tourist arrivals from the West to more coming from Asia and the demographic trends with Thai families having so many fewer children, and most of the demand for teaching English comes from children and younger people.</p>\n<p>Although we can find a few exceptions, obviously salaries are higher in rich countries than in poor countries. The vast majority of migration for employment is in the form of people from poor countries going to rich countries to have a chance to earn higher salaries. While there are some exceptions (such as NGO workers) most people going from rich countries to work in poor countries can expect lower salaries.</p>\n<h3>Reality check</h3>\n<p>Are ESL teachers in Thailand actually underpaid and underappreciated? I think in every occupation and job I have ever had (and there have been a higher number of both) in many countries around the world, the majority of workers thought they should be paid more and should be given a higher level of respect than they are currently getting. So there is nothing completely unique about ESL teachers in Thailand complaining about low salaries and being underappreciated (except maybe the quantity and intensity of the whinging). So I decided to do a quick check on the topic.</p>\n<p>I decided to look at the most recently job ads (no cherry picking) for a few locations and compare the salaries and also compare the ratio of the salary compared to the countries GNI <a href=\"http://databank.worldbank.org/data/download/GNIPC.pdf\">as measured by the World Bank in 2015</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://databank.worldbank.org/data/download/GNIPC.pdf\"></a>Because GNI statistics are listed in US dollars I converted all figures to US dollars using the latest currency convertor. I used actual figures and not purchasing power parity numbers as the ratio should take the cost of living into account.</p>\n<p>The GNI per capita index attempts to identify the total income produced in a company per people; every man, woman and child. It is hardly the perfect measure but it does give a somewhat reliable indication of how wealthy a country is on average and gives a basis for calculating ratios of how a salary in a country compares to average income of the rest of the population.</p>\n<p>I am not trying to claim this is any type of scientific research with a high level of reliability or validity, just a quick check to get a basic idea about whether or not ESL teachers in Thailand are underpaid and exploited.</p>\n<p>All of the following salaries as listed in the job ads seemed aimed at pretty new teachers without high level of experiences, I realize there are jobs with higher wages in all the locations, but for comparison\'s sake I tried to find the latest job ad on either ajarn.com or Dave\'s ESL Caf&eacute; for entry level positions.</p>\n<p>Here is what I found</p>\n<p><strong>Saudi Arabia</strong><br />Yearly ESL salary: 997,500 Baht ($28,769)<br />http://www.ajarn.com/recruitment/browse_jobs/Thailand/118256.html?popup=1<br />GNI per capita: 22, 500 (I was surprised, I though Saudi Arabia was quite a bit richer than this)<br />Yearly ESL Salary/GNI per capita ratio: 1.28</p>\n<p><strong>Korea</strong><br />Yearly ESL salary: (Assuming a 12 month contact) 21,701<br />http://www.eslcafe.com/jobs/korea/index.cgi?read=69081<br />GNI per capita: 27,440<br />Yearly ESL Salary/GNI per capita ratio: 0.79</p>\n<p><strong>France</strong><br />Yearly ESL salary: 23,445<br />http://www.eslcafe.com/joblist/index.cgi?read=40362<br />GNI per capita: 40,580<br />Yearly ESL Salary/GNI per capita ratio: 0.58</p>\n<p><strong>Thailand</strong><br />Yearly ESL salary: 12,115 (The ad said between 35 and 45,000, but I went with the lowest number)<br />http://www.ajarn.com/recruitment/browse_jobs/Thailand/118358.html?popup=1<br />GNI per capita: 5, 620<br />Yearly ESL Salary/GNI per capita ratio: 2.16</p>\n<p>These results indicate, when comparing ratio of salaries of ESL compared to the average income of the population, ESL teachers in Thailand do quite well, in fact much better than in the other locations (although maybe behind what is found in China or Vietnam which I did not check on, maybe next time).</p>\n<p>Teaching English in most rich countries (including in the home lands of native English speakers) would almost always put a person in the lower 50% income bracket, while in Thailand, right off the boat one is well into the upper 50% bracket.</p>\n<p>In US dollar or Euros, the wages paid to teach English in Thailand seem low compared to average wages back home, but compared to local salaries, they are quite high. If ESL teachers in Thailand are expecting salaries to rise considerably in the near future or expect to get any sympathy from local workers, I suspect they will be disappointed.</p>\n<p>Wages are determined by supply and demand, and it is likely demand will stay soft and supply is not decreasing. I doubt we will see any major increase in average wages in the near future.</p>\n<p>Determining whether the wages paid to ESL teachers is \"fair\" or not requires a subjective judgement, but after looking at the ratio of wages paid compared to the level of economic development of the economy, my subjective opinion is English teachers in Thailand don\'t do all that bad.</p>\n<p><strong>Jack</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2016-09-06 17:55:43',1,'2016-09-06 17:55:43','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31276,41,'Good adverts last a lifetime','good-adverts-last-a-lifetime','A good teacher can have a lifelong impact on their students','Looking back almost fifty years, I can remember what subjects I liked and disliked at school.

And just like you did years ago, your Thai students have their favourite subjects and favourite teachers. Everything else kids do at school is a much more vital part of their ongoing and endlessly fascinating social lives... none of which includes you!</p>\n<p>Actually, social interaction is something Thai schools teach better than almost any other schools in the world. The ability to work and play together and get along with others is very well ingrained in Thais from a very early age and this &lsquo;education\' lasts throughout their lives.</p>\n<p>Looking back almost fifty years, I can remember what subjects I liked and disliked at school. Most of the subjects I liked was down to the fact that I liked the teacher teaching it. Similarly, the subjects that I hated most were the subjects taught by teachers that I didn\'t like... except for chemistry... I just really hated chemistry!</p>\n<p>So, half a century on and a continent away from my own education, here I am on the other side of that teacher/student divide.</p>\n<h3>A hazelnut in every bite!</h3>\n<p>Going to school in Thailand is a lot like watching TV all day. The programs are damn entertaining and well worth the bus ride in. But the most annoying thing about watching telly is the adverts... and that\'s what the teachers and subjects are. We are those annoying little bits between lunch and playtime. We\'re the crap that kids have to put up with between the brilliant stuff like running around the playground screaming like a maniac or fawning over Korean pop videos with some chums.</p>\n<p>In fact, if kids could TIVO their school life, the teachers and subjects would be edited out of the whole day leaving only the good bits! But they can\'t and they\'re stuck with having their good times interrupted by learning stuff... which kind of defeats the whole purpose of being young.</p>\n<h3>Exceedingly good cakes!</h3>\n<p>(It\'s a convoluted analogy - I\'m getting to it, be patient!)</p>\n<p>The very best television adverts will last a lifetime in the memories of your students... For me, it was the Cinzano Bianco adverts in the UK with Leonard Rossiter and that scrummy sexpot Joan Collins... I had a feeling that Cinzano Bianco would taste like crap and when I was older and eventually tried it, I was right... it tasted bloody awful! But I never forgot the hilarious adverts.</p>\n<p>Another good TV commercial was the one about the brilliant laughing robots who took the piss out of humans for smashing up their potatoes and making mash when the fools could have been using the powdered version of potatoes available in a sachet at the Co-op! And as it turned out, powdered mash was also horrible, but the adverts weren\'t and they lasted a lifetime.</p>\n<p>There were others too... 30-second segments of the day which I can still remember decades later. And of course, there were adverts that I have forgotten. Most of them in fact. And what\'s even more amazing is that I can remember the good adverts more clearly than any of the programs that they were interrupting!</p>\n<h3>All because the lady loves...</h3>\n<p>So this is all leading up to something and here it is...</p>\n<p>Even though your time with the kids you teach is minimal and they don\'t really regard you as all that important in their daily lives, you can still make a lifelong impact. Whether a school subject is interesting and attractive to students is almost always down to the teacher. Whether they take an interest in English in the future is also down to how you get on with your students today.</p>\n<p>If you are fun, engaging, knowledgeable and a little bit different, your students will remember you in a positive light for the rest of their lives. They\'ll be using the tools you gave them in beneficial ways long after they have left school and long after you\'ve drifted off to that teacher\'s break room in the sky.</p>\n<p>Even when it seems like you\'re banging your head against a brick wall, maybe you\'re actually still doing some good just by being positive and encouraging in the classroom. While they\'ll forget about your carefully thought out lesson plans as soon as they walk out of the classroom, your efforts will start to make sense to them in a few years if you have made it clever and entertaining enough for them.</p>\n<p>And it won\'t be just English that you\'ve passed on to them. Other things like patience, dignity and tolerance will also be lessons you have taught and been remembered for.</p>\n<h3>It\'s frothy, maaaan!</h3>\n<p>Finally... just like an advert on the TV, you are selling something. All teachers are. We are selling the subject we\'re teaching. Even though we don\'t get much time in their busy lives, the better you entertain, educate and create memories for your students the longer lasting and more positive your impact will have been.</p>\n<p>While it seems that kids are much more interested in the programs on TV, they\'ll be forgotten quickly, but the best adverts will stay with them for the rest of their lives.</p>','','2016-09-08 02:47:32',1,'2016-09-08 02:47:32','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31284,41,'Why you are fantastic!','why-you-are-fantastic','10 reasons why teaching English has made you a fantastic person','Think about how you\'ve changed since you became a teacher - because you have and all for the better, too.','<p>The chances are that you are going to eventually go home and start to take life a bit more seriously after your stint as an English teacher in Thailand.

But let\'s put down that in-flight magazine for a few minutes and think about how you\'ve changed - because you have and all for the better, too.</p>\n<h3>1 - \"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.\" - Aristotle.</h3>\n<p>After living in Thailand for a while, if you haven\'t learned to be more patient you\'ll have gone mad! Things here are just so hopelessly haphazard and disorganized that you\'ll have by now embraced a zen-like state of acceptance that things will go wrong. This sets you apart from your friends back home where your gift of patience will help you make more rational and mature decisions in the future.</p>\n<h3>2 - \"When plan \'A\' fails, you have 25 more goes!\" - Me!</h3>\n<p>You are now much more perseverant than you were before. If you can climb through the bizarre hoops required to be a teacher in Thailand then any plans you make in the future are going to be easy-peasy to navigate. Everything from negotiating a rental contract to ordering clothes that fit is now a cinch for you!</p>\n<h3>3 - You can now mind-read. What could be cooler than that?</h3>\n<p>After spending the last part of your life in Thailand you\'ve become an expert on picking up the physical cues that people give out. The Thai language is bloody hard to learn and you did your best, but most of what you understood was with facial and physical movements... and the good news is that these pantomime gestures are universal. You can now read people\'s minds just by looking at their bodies!</p>\n<h3>4 - \"The journey is my home.\"</h3>\n<p>An extended trip abroad will really make you appreciate home when you get there. It will, of course, also make you more critical of home, too. Your newly acquired cultural perspectives will make you more fantastic because you can now draw on the best bits of both cultures and use them to suit you, while abandoning the bits of each culture that you don\'t like. Sharing this knowledge can make you look like a dick, so it\'s usually best to keep this one on the down-low!</p>\n<h3>5 - You are now an expert public speaker.</h3>\n<p>Remember that first English class you had and everyone looked at you funny as you stammered blindly through the present perfect tense rules? That joke you told that nobody in the class understood? Yeah, well... no more. You can now ad-lib your way to world peace in front of the United Nations when called upon. Or you can at least really enjoy making that best man\'s speech without looking like an ass!</p>\n<h3>6 -  In a manner of speaking...</h3>\n<p>Supreme Court judge Clarence Thomas said that good manners will open doors that the best education cannot... or something like that. While that nugget of wisdom made sense before your Thailand adventure, the impact of your experience living amongst Thai people will really prove this to be true for you. Thais are extraordinarily polite and this has rubbed off on you, making you more fantastic to everyone that you meet!</p>\n<h3>7 - You are now a lot less confrontational.</h3>\n<p>Quiz time: So, you\'re at the Big C and you and your trolley full of goodies are stuck in an aisle behind a Thai woman with two young kids while she inspects the price of cooking oil. How do you react? Do you A - shunt her trolley with yours and give her a dirty look, or B - turn around and go the long way round before she even notices you? At Walmart this could have easily have turned into a fight... but this is the new you: less confrontational - more fantastic!</p>\n<h3>8 - You are now more accepting of unexpected changes.</h3>\n<p>Life in The West is all very well, but it\'s a bit drab. It\'s predictable and routine driven. When the buses are late or the store runs out of Toothpaste it\'s easy to be impatient and unforgiving. Westerners love to get worked up over stuff that doesn\'t really matter. But not you... Thailand had immunized you against the effects of unexpected changes. You are now more philosophical when things go wrong and more tolerant to the bumps in the road ahead.</p>\n<h3>9 - \"He who will not economize will have to agonize.\" - Confucius.</h3>\n<p>You are now an expert at personal finances. Your time in Thailand has made you this way. Back home you\'ll wonder, jaw agape, how anyone can spend so much money on a fancy Starbucks coffee. You face a future of stress-free finances because you won\'t get sucked into all the Western traps of buying toys on the \'never-never\' that you don\'t really need. In fact, your experience of living amongst Thai people has taught you the one true meaning of happiness, which is that having fewer needs is better than having more possessions.</p>\n<h3>10 - \"You miss 100% of the shots you don\'t take.\" - Wayne Gretzky</h3>\n<p>Finally, number 10 - You did it! Whatever happens in the future, you have your time in Thailand to look back on. So many people just wish they could travel and they talk about doing it, but not you. You did it and that alone makes you... FANTASTIC!</p>\n<p>Good luck with your future lives and think about me, would ya? I\'m still here!</p>','','2016-09-14 23:18:19',1,'2016-09-14 23:18:19','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31288,95,'A question of vocabulary','a-question-of-vocabulary','Helping students suffering from synonym-itis','It\'s such a pleasure to have students who are motivated to learn, and curious about the language.

With students like these, lessons seem to just hum along all by themselves.</p>\n<p>However, there is the little problem of how easily these enthusiastic learners can catch you out with curveball questions. For me, I find the vocabulary questions most difficult:&nbsp;</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span> </span>&ldquo;Teacher what\'s the difference between <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">to ask</span> and to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">question</span>?&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;Teacher, is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">exceed</span> the same as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">excess</span>?&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;Should I use <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pupil</span> or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">student</span>?&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;Are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">commence</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">begin</span> the same? And <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">continue</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">resume</span>?&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;Do <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">merry</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">happy</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">enjoy</span> mean the same?&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;How are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">hotel</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">guesthouse</span> different?&rdquo;</p>\n<p>What should we do here? Answer the question, or brush it off? By brushing it off, I mean saying something like &ldquo;They\'re the same&rdquo;, or &ldquo;Oh, one\'s American and the other is British&rdquo;. The student will most likely accept these gestures &ndash; but this is stretching the truth for convenience. On the other hand, answering the question leads to two problems. Firstly, quite often the level of abstraction far exceeds what the less motivated learners in the class can cope with. So do you stop the class to deal with the questions, even at the risk of confusing everyone else? Secondly, the questions are usually off topic, and while it\'s a real pleasure having this kind of curiosity, it unfortunately detracts from the real focus of the lesson.</p>\n<p>I find these off-the-cuff questions students throw around difficult to answer quickly and convincingly. The trick is to identify the difference simply and succinctly. Having failed with this alarmingly (and embarrassingly) a few times, I\'ve come up with a little checklist that I run through when these kinds of questions arise in class:</p>\n<p><strong>Part of speech:</strong> in some cases, things are simply a matter of a difference in the part of speech. In the examples above, exceed is a verb, and excess is a noun. No problem. The same works for enjoy &ndash; a verb &ndash; and happy and merry - adjectives.</p>\n<p><strong>Denotation:</strong> sometimes the difference between two words is a real difference in meaning. This is what the students are most often looking for. In our examples above, continue and resume differ in their denotation. The difference is subtle: resume implies that activity has stopped, while continue doesn\'t. In the classroom, this difference is best given through an example: &ldquo;Classes will resume after festival&rdquo; or &ldquo;Classes will continue as usual (so please ignore the festival)&rdquo;.</p>\n<p><strong>A cline:</strong> for some word pairs, the difference can be most easily explained as a matter of intensity. This might be the case with guesthouse and hotel. We could add hostel here, and make a cline (or ladder) of how expensive the place is for a tourist. On the board, our cline may look something like this.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img height=\"286\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/accommodation_2.png\" width=\"420\" /></p>\n<p>It\'s not perfect, but it provides a neat visual of the differences in the meanings of these words.</p>\n<p><strong>Collocation:</strong> sometimes two word pairs look like they are true synonyms, but in fact they act quite differently in that they bond (or collocate) with other very specific words. For example, merry collocates strongly with \'Christmas\', while happy collocates more strongly with \'birthday\' and other festivals.</p>\n<p><strong>Register:</strong> the words mean the same, but one has localized use, and is therefore less common. In the examples from my classroom, begin and commence differ in formality. We would only expect to find commence in fiction and academic texts, for example, and is used less frequently.</p>\n<p><strong>Connotation:</strong> certain words have a specific \'feeling\'. Consider plump, as opposed to fat. One has a more insulting connotation. From the examples above, to ask and to question differ in their connotation. To \'question\' someone has the feeling of suspicion and doubt, and may fit more naturally into a police or detective story. We can also apply connotation with the pupil/student pair, because pupil carries a connotation of youth.</p>\n<p>Try it out. Using my list to identify the possible differences between two close synonyms, have a crack at dealing with these other questions from my students:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">salary</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">allowance</span> the same?</li>\n<li>Is there a difference between <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">blame</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">criticize</span>?</li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Side order</span>, or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">side dish</span>?</li>\n<li>What about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">cooperate</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">collaborate</span>?</li>\n<li>Is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">start</span> the same as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">begin</span>?</li>\n<li>What about <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">characteristic</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">personality</span>?</li>\n<li>Are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">force</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">compel</span> the same?</li>\n<li>Is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">tolerance</span> the same as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">endurance</span>? How are they different from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">patience</span>?</li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Intend</span> or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">desire</span>?</li>\n<li>Should I say <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">gaze</span> or <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">look</span>?</li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Insult</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">offend</span>?</li>\n<li>Is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">choose</span> the same as <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">decide</span>?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>And as a bonus for long termers in Thailand:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does porjai mean pleased or satisfied?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>A great many students don\'t ask these questions. But there are a few for whom this becomes something of an obsession. In my experience, students\' tendency towards \'word-pair-itis\' is exacerbated by the use of dictionaries that are too difficult for them. It might help getting these learners to use a learner\'s dictionary. I like the Meriam-Webster version (<a href=\"http://www.learnersdictionary.com\">www.learnersdictionary.com</a>).</p>\n<p>In addition to a simple definition, this site gives a few example sentences for students to see the word in context. They are American contexts, but hey! Try it out using the example of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">gaze</span>: you\'ll see it highlights the meaning of \'a long time\', and goes on to contrast (for these synonym junkies) other closely related words like <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">gape</span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">stare</span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">glare</span>. It also gets the students constructively using their phones (see <a href=\"/blogs/stephen-louw/phones-in-the-classroom-a-teachers-curse\">this cool blog</a>), and allows you to get on with the task of actually focusing on the lesson for everyone else.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-09-19 09:30:55',1,'2016-09-19 09:30:55','2016-09-28 10:10:56'),(31328,20,'The five categories of English teacher','the-five-categories-of-english-teacher','What are the pros and cons of each?','I have broken down ESL teachers into five general categories.

Therefore it is felt it is better to adapt oneself to the world we live in and not spend one\'s life complaining about or trying to change things one has little influence over.</p>\n<p>Each of us has some control over the direction our careers take but little control over the nature of the educational system, or any other industry, in a particular location.</p>\n<p>Each person is an individual with his or her own unique motivations, skills, and opportunities while being at a specific stage in one\'s lifecycle.</p>\n<p>When analyzing, criticizing, pondering about moving into or out of the ESL industry, or giving career advice to other individuals, most people tend to see the situation from where one is currently standing, which can be helpful for other people standing close by, but this advice might be less helpful for people looking at the ESL industry from a very different angle.</p>\n<p>The decision to start or continue to teach in Thailand (or any other location) will be influenced by each person\'s individual circumstances. Obviously there are both pros and cons to be weighted, but the pros and cons differ depending on a person\'s circumstances.</p>\n<p>While in reality each person is a unique individual, I have broken down ESL teachers into five general categories. These categories are only for native English speaking individuals coming from fairly wealthy societies; obviously the perspectives and other opportunities for educators from different locations will be quite different.</p>\n<p>1. The \"Gap-Year\" teacher</p>\n<p>2. The Career ESL teacher</p>\n<p>3. The &lsquo;\"I Just Want to Live in Thailand (or another country)\" Teacher</p>\n<p>4. The ESL as a Stepping Stone (to an international professional career) Teacher</p>\n<p>5. The Semi-Retired Teacher</p>\n<h3>Gap-Year Teacher</h3>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>-Get paid to travel</p>\n<p>-It can be a fun experience which can provide a life-time of memories</p>\n<p>-You can feel good about what you are doing</p>\n<p>-You can probably get a paid professional position with little or no experience or specialized training</p>\n<p>-It is a great opportunity to learn a foreign language and other soft skills</p>\n<p>-Some employers will be impressed and this could put you ahead of other individual\'s looking for entry level positions</p>\n<p><strong>Cons</strong></p>\n<p>-You will be away from family and friends</p>\n<p>-You will be putting your real career, or graduate school education on hold</p>\n<p>-Some employers might not be impressed; this may be especially relevant for male teachers going to teach in Thailand as the country has, ah, a reputation</p>\n<h3>The Career Teacher</h3>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>-For many people, teaching is a fun and pretty stress-free way to earn a living</p>\n<p>-Lots of opportunities for job mobility, you can change locations easily without changing careers</p>\n<p>-Few positions require high levels of specialized training or skills</p>\n<p><strong>Cons</strong></p>\n<p>There is no well-established career path with a progression of steps with higher salaries and level of responsibility as one gains experience as found in many other professions</p>\n<p>The pay is lower than found in most jobs found in developed economies. There are a limited number of \"well-paid\" positions and one might be able to go to the Middle East for a few years mid-career to earn some more money, but it should be kept in mind there has never been a high school student who answered the question of what do you want to do when you grow up with the answer teach English in Saudi Arabia</p>\n<p>It can be difficult to move out of ESL teaching into another career. If you take the path less traveled, you cannot easily get back on a more conventional career path</p>\n<h3>The &lsquo;\"I Just Want to Live in Thailand (or another country)\" Teacher</h3>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>One gets to live in Thailand or country of choice</p>\n<p>One does not normally have to engage in high levels of education, training or specialized experience to secure a position</p>\n<p>One has the opportunity to learn more about the culture, language and lifestyles of the location one has chosen to live</p>\n<p><strong>Cons</strong></p>\n<p>Living and working in a country like Thailand is vastly different than being a tourist (which can be seen as either a pro or a con, depending on the person)</p>\n<p>A teacher in Thailand or other developing economy is going to get paid at a much lower rate than most jobs in developed economies</p>\n<p>Much like for the career teacher, one generally does not always have the ability to leave and easily move into a new career in mid-life</p>\n<h3>The ESL as a Stepping Stone Teacher</h3>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>A great way to gain language skills and international experience (I have personally met many people who came to teach English in China in the 90s and 00s who mastered the language and gained understanding of the culture and have leveraged these skills into high paying jobs with multinational companies)</p>\n<p>English teaching can be combined with international education to develop marketable skills sets</p>\n<p>It is fairly easy to get a job in the many locations where the ESL industry is active, and being on site can be an advantage when a job opening occurs</p>\n<p>Having had one international job gives an individual confidence in pursuing an international career</p>\n<p>Teaching ESL can always be one\'s safety net, as individuals living abroad do not have access to unemployment insurance or other types of government welfare, one can usually find some work teaching when between jobs or while trying to grow a business</p>\n<p><strong>Cons</strong></p>\n<p>While ESL teaching can provide many valuable soft skills, the hard skills developed in teaching are not always directly appreciated by international organizations. (This stepping stone strategy seems to work best when combining the ESL/international experience with hard skill training or experience)</p>\n<p>Expatriate corporate jobs are drying up (hiring more local managers) making gaining on of the remaining spots highly competitive</p>\n<h3>The Semi-retired Teacher</h3>\n<p><strong>Pros</strong></p>\n<p>There are few professional jobs one can realistically start later in life, ESL teaching is one of them</p>\n<p>For an average person, the money earned is a nice complement to one\'s retirement income</p>\n<p>Being around bright young people can really improve one\'s mental health as a person ages</p>\n<p>It\'s fun</p>\n<p><strong>Cons</strong></p>\n<p>There are some legal restrictions on the hiring of older teachers in government schools</p>\n<p>Many posters on diacussion forums claim ESL teaching is a young man\'s (person\'s) game, which has an element of truth in it but in my personal experience an upbeat, kind and open-minded older teacher is usually appreciated and can find some work somewhere.</p>\n<h3>Recommendations</h3>\n<p>Obvious these listed pros and cons are purely subjective and no one really understands what another person wants out of life and what other options are available. So instead of giving people advice whether or not to start or continue teaching ESL in Thailand, it is suggested to be aware of the pros and cons and weigh these against one\'s other options.</p>\n<p>Teaching ESL in Thailand or another country might be a good choice for some people at some points in their lives and not the right choice for other people at other times in their lives.</p>\n<p>You might not be able to single-handedly change ESL pay scales or immigration laws in Thailand but each of us does have some control over our career choices.</p>\n<p>Deciding to become an ESL teacher at one time of my life, and then deciding to move on into other careers turned out, in my opinion, pretty good choices for me, but I suspect the \"right\" choices for other people will be different.</p>\n<p><strong>Jack</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2016-09-24 12:27:53',1,'2016-09-24 12:27:53','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31349,41,'Ten reasons you’re a jerk!

I\'ve been listening to you for a few weeks. Now it\'s my turn. Ready?</p>\n<p>OK... here\'s a list of ten reasons why you are just a pain to be around since you came back from Thailand. I\'m hoping that you\'ll understand all of these issues and do something about them before our relationship is changed forever.</p>\n<h3>1 - You think you\'re a real teacher!</h3>\n<p>For heaven\'s sake please get over yourself as regards to being an &lsquo;educator\' is concerned. From what I\'ve read, teaching in Thailand is an unskilled job pretty much anyone can do. Just be straight with us (and yourself) and admit that playing the part of a &lsquo;teacher\' was just a way for you to pay your way. Do you seriously think you can do this job for real back home in the real world?</p>\n<h3>2 - You\'re too used to getting your own way.</h3>\n<p>I don\'t know exactly how you were treating people in Thailand but that abrupt air of entitlement doesn\'t fly at home. Haggling for things, demanding &lsquo;a better deal\' and belittling waiters, etc, is NOT how we behave at home. Frankly, your ongoing abrasiveness is making you difficult to be around and is not something you should be proud of. I think you have spent too much time in the company of good-natured, reserved and acquiescent Thai people and they seem to have been a lot more forgiving of your rudeness than we are.</p>\n<h3>3 - Your friends don\'t care as much as you want them to.</h3>\n<p>Look, you\'ve been abroad. We get it and we are a little bit jealous, but for God\'s sake, you didn\'t walk on the moon. It was interesting to hear about your adventures for the first day or so, but now it\'s getting rather tiresome. What initially set you apart as somewhat interesting has now just become too excruciating to bear. Just reign it in, please. We\'ve all heard enough.</p>\n<h3>4 - You think you\'re a world traveler - you\'re really not.</h3>\n<p>This air of &lsquo;mystical guru\' that you\'re carrying around with you has just gone on for too long now. Other people have also sent their mum an email from a coffee shop in Chiang Mai, not just you! You aren\'t the only one to bungee jump into three feet of water, either. Sure, it\'s great that you sold your car and broke your lease to skip town for your big adventure, but for those of us that didn\'t, the shtick is getting old. You\'re not Richard Attenborough!</p>\n<h3>5 - You keep comparing things at home to Thailand.</h3>\n<p>I\'m amazed you ever came back, what with stuff being so cheap over there. A hut on the beach was how many baht? A fresh crab salad was how much? Your water bill was how much? And renting a motorcycle... WOW! How do we make it in The West with our high prices and other assorted rip-offs? We get it - it\'s cheap in Thailand and a dollar is actually worth ten dollars!</p>\n<h3>6 - You come across as smug and sanctimonious.</h3>\n<p>Opinions don\'t always need to be expressed. Especially yours as they are always negative and belittling of pretty much everything we talk about. We get it - the Thais can\'t do a jigsaw without your help... We Westerners could learn a thing or two about handling stress and eating for less... Have you really unlocked the secrets of the universe in the year you\'ve been gone? If so - keep them to yourself. We\'d rather just carry on doing things the wrong way, thanks!</p>\n<h3>7 - We all think you\'re a sexual deviant!</h3>\n<p>Funnily enough, the one thing that we actually could talk about that would sustain my interest for any length of time, is the one thing you\'ve been remarkably coy about. In fact, the way you seem to sidestep any conversation about the &lsquo;ladies\' and sex is a bit creepy. Exactly what DID you get up to over there? We only know what we\'ve read on the internet about Thailand and you aren\'t giving us any reason to think differently!</p>\n<h3>8 - Employers don\'t regard your adventures as a skillset!</h3>\n<p>You\'ve been on a few interviews now and each failure to secure meaningful employment seems to be the fault of the employer not recognizing you as the great company asset that you seem to think you are. Could it be that taking a three-year &lsquo;character building\' holiday isn\'t the asset you think it is? Employers are regarding your extended trip to Thailand with suspicion. Maybe it\'s time to revisit that CV and change a few bits!</p>\n<h3>9 - You are preachy about your &lsquo;gift\' to Thailand.</h3>\n<p>Oh, and since when has working in another country been an act of charity. You\'re crowing about your value to third world countries as if we should be pinning medals on you and thanking you for your service. Get over yourself - you did a menial job for kicks and lived on rice and the kindness of strangers. If anything, this so-called &lsquo;charity\' seems to have come from the Thai people for allowing this to happen!</p>\n<h3>10 - You think your social media accounts are interesting.</h3>\n<p>I\'ve &lsquo;unfriended\' you on Facebook. You probably haven\'t even noticed. I\'ve seen enough poorly lit photographs of sand and Thai curry to last a lifetime. Actually, all your friends have, too.

If time and resources allow, another way of handling questions of vocabulary is with the Google Ngram Viewer - a really useful tool for English language teachers!</p>\n<p>An N-gram is a string of letters - it can be a word (like \'get\'), or a word cluster (like \'a lot of\'). Google N-gram can cope with up to 5-word clusters. The program runs a fancy statistical analysis that find the frequency of the N-gram in a large collection of texts (which is called a \'corpus\'). Google has a really large collection of texts - the Google Books project, which amounts to over 4 million words. Google\'s N-gram Viewer gives you a visual display of the frequency of your N-gram over time, either in the entire corpus, or in only a specific sub-corpus, for example American English.</p>\n<p>This is how it works. Go to <a href=\"https://books.google.com/ngrams\">Google Ngrams Viewer</a>. Type your keyword into the search bar at the top and click to see the results as the graph. You can select which corpus interests you in the drop-down menu - select \'English\' for everything, or only \'British English\' (for example), to search a more specific corpus. You can also adjust the time frame - as far back as 1500. Cool huh? If this is all new to you, let me show you some ways this might be useful to you as a language teacher.</p>\n<h3>English over time</h3>\n<p>Because the Ngram viewer plots frequency of the N-gram\'s occurrence over time, it\'s easy to see how words are coming in and out of favor. As an example, have a look at what\'s happening to \'ought to\':</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/1.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>From the looks of it, this word is becoming less frequent. Does that seem right?</p>\n<p>The Ngram viewer can also give you some insight into how words are changing. An obvious example is what has happened to the word \'gay\' over the last century:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/2.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>You can see when it is that this word became endowed with its new meaning from the subsequent increase in the frequency of its occurrence. It\'s also quite interesting to see how its use (with its meaning of \'carefree\') rose slightly between the two world wars.</p>\n<h3>Comparing usage</h3>\n<p>Because you can put multiple items in the search area (separated by commas), you can compare the use of different words. So, to take a straightforward example, let\'s have a look at the difference between \'apothecary\', \'chemist\' and \'pharmacy\':</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/3.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>It is clear that \'apothecary\' is becoming increasingly rare. That\'s probably no surprise. That \'pharmacy\' is gaining ground over \'chemist\' was a surprise for me, given that I never buy anything from a pharmacy. I must have learned to speak English in the 1960s during the \'chemist\' heyday.</p>\n<p>We can do more! Do you say \'at the weekend\' or \'on the weekend\'? Is either preferable? Let\'s see what Ngram says:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/4.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>Is that the answer? Possibly, but we can explore further. Selecting from the \'corpus\' dropdown menu just below the search function, we can isolate the search to only British English (and so filter out the American influence), and so get this result:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/5.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>Now it\'s easy to see that the British are more prone to doing things \'at the weekend\'. I wonder why people didn\'t refer to the weekend much before the second world war. Is doing things at/on the weekend a modern thing?</p>\n<h3>Giving students autonomy</h3>\n<p>We can teach students to use the Ngram Viewer to get some answers for themselves. Some student questions are really easy to handle, but others feel like any response relies on your own idiosyncratic usage of English. One example may be whether it\'s better to say \'toward\' or \'towards\'. The answer to this one is usually along the lines of: \'towards\' is British. We can check:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/6.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/7.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>It\'s true! The Americans say \'toward\'. What do Australians say? How about something a little less obvious? Should it be \'different from\', or \'different than\'? I\'ve been part of a few fearsome staffroom brawls on this one. If a student has this question, simply whip out your Ngram Viewer, and the answer is no longer a mystery.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/8.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>Staffroom brawl averted, and the student\'s question answered.</p>\n<p>There is much more that Ngram Viewer can do. When you want to find for a variety of responses to a single search, you could use wildcards (using *, like \'as * as\'), and the programme will find the most common selection of items that fit (in this case, \'as well as\' is the most common). You can also compare words with different parts of speech, like the word \'book\': using a search tag \'book_NOUN, book_VERB\'. To demonstrate these two functions, imagine you are planning to teach phrasal verbs with \'get\', but there are too many to focus on in just one lesson. Using Ngram Viewer, you can see which are the most common using the search term \'get *_ADP\'.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ngrams/9.png\" style=\"width: 100%;\" /></p>\n<p>It\'s really worth the time and trouble to explore its functions, which are outlined <a href=\"https://books.google.com/ngrams/info\">here</a> and are quite easy to follow. Obviously, as with all things statistical, there are some problems with the Ngram Viewer\'s results, and it may interest you to find out about these, which are introduced in <a href=\"https://www.wired.com/2015/10/pitfalls-of-studying-language-with-google-ngram/\">this blog on Wired</a>. You can then spot a few issues with some the results I have presented here.</p>\n<p>Problems aside, Ngram Viewer is a great tool for language teachers. If you feel like playing, open the Ngram viewer and see what you can find out about the following:</p>\n<p>Does \'enrol\' have one or two l\'s?<br />What\'s more common - \'couch\' or \'sofa\'?<br />Is \'beneath\' better than \'underneath\'?<br />Should we say \'have a shower\', or \'take a shower\'?<br />Is it okay to say \'if I were you\', or should it be \'if I was you\'?</p>\n<p>The Ngram Viewer works on your phone too. Get your students to see what they can find out - if you are allowed to have them using their phones in class!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-10-03 19:10:32',1,'2016-10-03 19:10:32','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31378,75,'Interesting Thailand stuff - October 2016','interesting-thailand-stuff-october-2016','A selection of hand-picked Thailand blogs and articles','Here\'s some of the more interesting Thailand-related stuff that I\'ve found on the internet over the past three months.

This time, let us see what our Filipino friends have to say after staying in Thailand for 5-10 years and for settling back in their motherland.','<p>Last month I shared with you my findings about <a href=\"/blogs/benito-vacio/the-end-is-nigh\">the numerous reasons </a>why many Filipino English teachers in Thailand started returning to their country, the Philippines. This time, let us see what our Filipino friends have to say after staying in Thailand for 5-10 years and for settling back in their motherland:</p>\n<h3>On returning home</h3>\n<p>\"Returning home was a difficult decision to make. I had lived in Thailand for quite a time, gained a number of Thai friends and families, got used to eating Thai food, lived a pretty enjoyable life, did wonderful work in my school, and earned better than in my country, but I had to return home.\"&nbsp;-	Katrina</p>\n<p>Her   thoughts and feelings are similar to someone\'s thoughts who will be joining the band of \"home comers\" next term.</p>\n<p>\"Must I go?  Is there any way to stop me from going home? What if something better comes up, will it change my decision? I guess it\'s too late... Everything is set as planned. I can\'t turn back the hands of time. This is truly goodbye. I know I\'ll miss all my friends for several seasons but I will bring with me 10 years of beautiful memories to last &lsquo;till my life is through\" - &nbsp;Lagon</p>\n<p>\"Practically speaking, going home was for the best. Because of my international exposure, it wasn\'t difficult for me to look for a job. Actually, my employer chose me over other applicants because of my working stint abroad. We really are in demand. In fact, a friend of mine was exempted from doing demonstration teaching when she applied because of her international experience.  It is a plus factor indeed teaching in a foreign country when applying for work in the Philippines\" -	Kervin</p>\n<h3>Adjustments</h3>\n<p>\"The  adjustment I do now is  getting used to  handling   voluminous paper work compared  to that in Thailand where very little  was done. Another thing to cope up with is lesson planning because in Thailand we had ready-made plans with worksheets and we had to execute them only.  There is no problem adjusting to colleagues here because they are my own people with the same language, the same customs, and the same values.\"&nbsp;-	Melba</p>\n<p>\"In my case, before going to Thailand, I filed my leave of absence but I was in constant communication with my supervisor. So, when my leave was about to lapse I decided to go back   and I\'m happy here now working with my own people, my former colleagues, and  my former friends.\"&nbsp;- Madel</p>\n<h3>Resume Gap</h3>\n<p>\"Well, there is no resume gap for me because my principal recognized my experiences abroad.  Of course, except  for non- education graduates (those who  graduated  four or five year courses in the Philippines) but due to their fluency in English and  teaching  experiences somewhere else, or had earned some units in education,  they went to Thailand, applied, and were hired as English teachers in Thai schools. \"</p>\n<h3>Employment Opportunities</h3>\n<p>\"The owner of the school where I teach, happens to be the director/principal, had no hesitation in hiring me because of my teaching experience in Thailand. There are also English Language Centers, Korean Schools, and other language centers offering English enhancement courses for various clients in Metro Manila so a returning English teacher will never hunger for work.</p>\n<p>You see, a former Thai English teacher or any teacher who comes from overseas, has an edge over others and the teacher has a lot of opportunities in our country.  They are welcomed with open arms by school owners because of their exposure and their skills and abilities have already been tested abroad. So  employers consider their experiences useful.</p>\n<p>This particular teacher can be an asset to his/her school. Teachers who came as  \"\"Balikbayan teachers\" (returning teachers from abroad) based on qualifications, can become  an English teacher, an English coordinator, or an English instructor in a college/university. Truly, a former Thai teacher has a lot to offer from what he/she got from Thai schools.&nbsp;-Edelyn</p>\n<p>\"In the Department of Education (public schools) as long as a teacher has Bachelor\'s Degree in Education (elementary or high school)  has passed the Licensure for Teachers and  willing to undergo probationary  employment as a substitute, he/she can apply  for a teaching position easily. The teacher can have a bigger chance if he/she   gets   high ranking in the district where he/she applies to. He/she can   get a placement when permanent teachers take a leave or retire. He/she can be a substitute for the time being until he/ she can be made permanent because there is already an available slot. Another good thing too is that there is no more age limit for teacher applicants.\"&nbsp;-Mario</p>\n<h3>Friends and Family Concept</h3>\n<p>\"Friends are friends. If the friendship is deep, the friendship can last a lifetime. But if it is shallow, this will die and distance will pave the way for them to forget each other. But with social media that are at our fingertips, parting away from friends is not a problem anymore. Even if we go back home, we can still keep in touch with our friends through facebook, twitter, line,  instagram, SMS or email. In facebook, we can like, comment, share, or chat.  Of course, our families rejoice because we are no longer away from them.  We strengthen our bond as a family by going out together on weekends, fulfill our religious obligation on Sundays and visit our friends and relatives.\"&nbsp;-  Mary Rose</p>\n<h3>Country Change</h3>\n<p>\"In 10 years that I was away, a lot of changes had taken place. New business establishments had been established, more infrastructures had been built, more vehicles had crowded the streets, more  people had flooded the pedestrians, more subdivisions had been opened, and  more housing projects had been constructed.  A lot of people had gone to church; a lot of students had enrolled in colleges or universities because their parents, siblings, uncles or aunts working abroad spent for   their education. This is because we, Filipinos, have strong family ties and have valued education as an important tool in attaining a more productive and a more comfortable life. \" - Melissa</p>\n<h3>Getting Back into the System</h3>\n<p>\"Upon returning to the Department of Education for the item I left after I took my leave, I just continued my membership in  Pag-ibig ( a must social fund that gives its members housing or salary loans to its members) and in the  Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) through my employer and the contributions are deducted from my monthly salary.\"&nbsp;- Diosa</p>\n<p>\"As a private school teacher, I just continued my Social Security System (SSS) and my employer did the task of remitting my monthly contributions as required by law. Of course, with my Phil Health (a medical  care), I have to abide by the provisions of its  policy  when my dependents and I  can  enjoy our  medical benefits. As for my unemployment allowance, I did not enjoy that. Although I paid the Overseas Workers Welfare Authority (OWWA) every time I got my Overseas Exit Clearance (OEC) every time I returned to Thailand for a vacation (now scrapped   by our new president) I am not entitled to anything.</p>\n<p>One time I called up the OWWA office for curiosity. \"Will I be entitled to some benefits because  I am unemployed from Thailand?\" I asked. The receiving person on the phone said that there was none. \"What about the contributions we made as a member?\" I further asked. She said those were spent to finance overseas workers who were shipped back home because of war or calamities. She said that was the only help they could give. She advised me to undergo a livelihood training offered by them so that I could start my life anew.\"&nbsp;- Tess</p>\n<h3>Emotional Baggage</h3>\n<p>One teacher who had fallen in love with Thailand and returned to his country has this to say:</p>\n<p>\"Many months had passed but my heart was still in deep sorrow; bleeding, crying, and grieving so; for I couldn\'t see my friends for decades or two. I\'d been engulfed by sadness and I couldn\'t function well. The past days, thoughts of regret filled my subconscious mind and my entirety. I thought the only way to set me free was to forget my friends.\"</p>\n<p>\"Missing them all was like losing my phone, my contacts and all...took time to normalize my phone habits, but with the Lord\'s grace, somehow, I was able to get by. Yes, I was down for a time but my friends\' memories lifted up my spirit... and when the extreme grief was gone I enkindled the intimacy we shared in my thoughts. This sufficed anyway.\"</p>\n<p>\"In my strong attachment to them I had become irrational. I tried to savor the sweet memories I had with my valued friends in Thailand. Although it was hard to endure the pains of parting, I had to do it if it\'s the only way to let go...\"</p>\n<p>I   hope to see my friends again in the future and when the time comes, I shall sing to them a deeper song. Farewell my friends in \"The Land of Smiles\". I am positive our paths will cross one day for the world is small.\"</p>\n<p>\"Chukdee!\"</p>','','2016-10-05 03:08:34',1,'2016-10-05 03:08:34','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31385,85,'A seemingly innocuous language activity','a-seemingly-innocuous-language-activity','I wasn\'t prepared for the stories I was about to hear.','High school days are the best days of our lives?

The grammar focus for the day was superlatives, and the two were combined in a speaking practice board game activity called \"The Best Time of Our Lives\". In the game, the players moved around the board and had to speak at length regarding various aspects of secondary education. Who was your best teacher? What was your most memorable moment? What was your least favorite subject in high school?  That sort of thing.</p>\n<p>It was a small class. I only had three students which made the board game very manageable and allowed me to be very involved in the process. Turns out it wasn\'t their best of times. It was the worst of times.</p>\n<h3>Indonesian International School?</h3>\n<p>Student One was a big girl, and you could tell from her appearance that she was of at least some Chinese descent. When she described her high school experience, she described her time at Yangon\'s Indonesian International School.</p>\n<p>Firstly, I\'m surprised that an Indonesian international school even exists here in Myanmar, which isn\'t really a neighbor of the archipelago. Who goes there? How does Indonesia, which isn\'t a truly developed country, have its own international school? Anyways, her experience there was a living hell. The Chinese are not well liked in Indonesia.  She described how she was bullied because of her weight. She was ridiculed for not being able to speak Indonesian.. She was ostracized and didn\'t have any friends in high school.</p>\n<p>Oh. Umm. Well, maybe this isn\'t the best game for us to play.</p>\n<h3>Hell in Chin State</h3>\n<p>Student Two talked about his experience at a Catholic boarding school in Chin State. Chin is Myanmar\'s westernmost province, bordering Bangladesh and India. It\'s land locked, mountainous, difficult to access, very poor and also very Christian. He talked about the discipline he had to endure, the daily humiliations and pointless rituals. He described the abusive priests and teachers.</p>\n<p>It sounded more like a prison camp than a school. He actually looked pained as the roll of the dice forced him to recount a time of his life he surely would prefer to forget. When his turn came, he didn\'t want to pick up the dice.</p>\n<p>Uggh. Well, there\'s one more student.</p>\n<h3>The Memorable Commander</h3>\n<p>I knew Student Three was politically active. She had told me how she was involved in supporting ethnic minority rights here in the Golden Land where the dominant Bamar ethnic group lead to this country once being called Burma. Hopefully, her high school experience would alleviate the extreme awkwardness that had taken  over the classroom.</p>\n<p>Student Three\'s high school experience had started out well. She lived and studied in a village of the Pa-O people of Shan State.  She had good teachers and facilities even though a separatist insurgency swirled around her. One day, in her 3rd year of high school, the Myanmar military took over her village. She looked away while describing how they closed down the school and burned the village. She told us that her brother was killed defending his village. She didn\'t get to finish high school until years later.</p>\n<p>When asked to describe her most memorable teacher, she asked me if she could describe her most memorable person from her high school time. I said, of course, the point of this activity is speaking practice.</p>\n<p>She went on to describe the commander of the forces who razed her village. As I said, nowadays, this woman is an activist for ethnic rights. She described how she had recently been at a conference in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar\'s capital. There in the hotel ballroom, she looked across the room and saw the military man who commanded the troops who had burned down her village. He\'s since risen in the ranks and landed a soft job in the civil service.</p>\n<p>I asked her if she\'d confronted him.&nbsp;She hadn\'t.</p>\n<p>Regardless, you could hear the hatred in her voice as she described the vile officer who goes unpunished for his viciousness.</p>\n<p>From an IELTS teaching point of view, that emotion is effective. Yes, the examiners are listening  for speaking that isn\'t robotic and monotonal.</p>\n<p>As a teacher in what has been an authoritarian dictatorship and now a flourishing democracy, I\'ve had several students over the years who\'ve been political prisoners at one time or another. Certainly the situation in this country six years ago was such that the context generating content of any TESOL coursebook becomes completely inapplicable.</p>\n<p>High school days are the best days of our lives?

Look around your school and you can probably count on one finger the number of people who can hold a recognizable and worthwhile conversation in English. Thai and Filipino (and French!) teachers can probably teach the dull stuff like grammar and writing better than you can, but only you can speak English like a native.</p>\n<p><strong>Reason two:</strong> It matters. More than any other aspect of English language learning, actually speaking the language is the most important. We speak a lot more than we read and write, don\'t we? It\'s the most basic, most common and most important of human interactions.</p>\n<p><strong>Reason three:</strong> It\'s rewarding... for them, not you! I think it\'s fair to say that most Thai students at any level, rate their English language ability in terms of how well they can speak the language rather than, say, how many irregular verbs they can reel off.</p>\n<p>Students find the ability to be understood in a foreign language the most gratifying aspect of the pain of learning it. If they don\'t get an opportunity to speak in the classroom they\'ll soon get bored.

You want to make your life easier, right? I do, and yet I see many native English speaking teachers spend most of their time on reading and writing practice. Many of them just abandon the more important speaking and listening skills that students need and which only they can teach.</p>\n<p>Leave the boring stuff to the non-native teachers. They can probably teach joined-up-writing better than you can anyway. In my view, if you\'re NOT teaching conversation skills, you\'re a waste of an expensive resource at your school.</p>\n<h3>2 - My students are all deaf mutes!</h3>\n<p>Traditionally in a Thai school, lessons are delivered and at the end of the hour, the teacher considers them learned and that unit is closed until the test... where it\'s inevitably revealed that nothing was learned at all! This applies to most of the subjects they are taught... including their English classes.</p>\n<p>This means that your students are mostly passive receptors of information rather than active participants of your class. It\'s not your fault - it\'s just the way things are in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Obviously, this isn\'t going to work in a conversation class which requires everyone to make a noise and get involved. So you have to make some changes that go against the grain of the traditional Thai classroom setting.</p>\n<p>If your classes are &lsquo;routine driven\' then Thai kids will open up more readily. (&lsquo;Routine driven\' is not the same as boring!) If your students are comfortable around you and know a little bit of what to expect, this helps a lot.</p>\n<p>There are a couple of other things you can do, too. Re-arrange the desks, maybe...have a shouting competition at the start of the class... (brilliant fun!) Have the dialog you are going to practice on the board/screen ahead of time to give the kids a heads up on what they\'ll be doing...</p>\n<p>But there may be other reasons why your classes are quiet which could be symptomatic of more serious issues. The assistant teacher could be very strict and not allow your students to &lsquo;let go\' in the class. You may be practicing conversation dialogs that are too difficult or simply irrelevant to your students.</p>\n<p>It could be you! Are you speaking too fast or using words and phrases like &lsquo;So...\', or &lsquo;OK, then!\' in the classroom? If you are, stop it. They are distracting and meaningless. Filling the silence with noise is a big mistake. Most teachers do this and it\'s very confusing and off-putting for Thai students to deal with. Also, speak clearly and slowly and always face the class when you do it.</p>\n<h3>3 - Let\'s get talking...</h3>\n<p>A big part of teaching conversation is getting your classes to understand that conversation classes are NOT reading classes. They can (presumably) already read, right? So, questions have to sound like questions and answers have to sound like answers. This takes your students a lot of getting used to and this aspect of teaching conversation will be the one that taxes your patience more than any other.</p>\n<p>Another mistake (in my view) is pair work. This almost always leads to students just chatting in their own language or just making a balls-up of the pronunciation when they are out of the teacher\'s attention range. It may kill some class time for you but it rarely does any good as far as learning conversation is concerned. Lots of teachers disagree with me but they\'re all wrong! :)</p>\n<p>Of course, talking is also about listening. You can\'t carry on a conversation without listening to your partner! Even in large classes, you can teach conversations effectively. Pairs stand up and recite a dialog and the class listens and you intervene and correct as necessary.</p>\n<p>Keep the dialogs interesting, short and simple. Progress slowly from the general introduction dialogs to more varied aspects of conversation. Always have questions as part of the dialog. Chit chat is important. Most of us really don\'t talk about much that is meaningful so why give your students difficult subjects to talk about? How many of them really need to learn how to rent a car or book a hotel room? Yep, none of them do.</p>\n<p>I\'ve lost count of the horrible conversations I\'ve seen in textbooks about faxing a memo to the director or complaining about the restaurant bill. It\'s bloody rubbish and just because textbook writers have heard the simple conversation scenarios a million times before, doesn\'t mean that students have or that they aren\'t useful for conversation practice.</p>\n<h3>In conclusion...</h3>\n<p>Only native English speakers can teach English language conversation. That\'s you. And you can do a really good job of this is you are patient and you keep it simple and focused on the students.</p>\n<p>Here\'s what I use with my young learners and maybe this can help you, too...</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://goo.gl/XDDIF3\">The SLIDES</a></p>\n<p>Click on &lsquo;Other Stuff\' and then &lsquo;Go Go Conversations\'</p>\n<p>(At the moment there are 20 dialogs.

How long that honeymoon period lasts depends on the individual in question - but I\'ve been through it too. \"Oh my God, what an amazing country! Why had no one told me about this place before? Why would anyone want to live anywhere else?\"','<p>I came across an article on the internet written by a young English guy called Jonny. &nbsp; Titled &lsquo;<em>Why Going to Bangkok Made Me Hate My Life in England</em>\' <a href=\"https://journeywithjonny.wordpress.com/2016/10/06/why-going-to-bangkok-made-me-hate-my-life-in-england/\">it tells the story</a> of how Jonny - who I\'m sure is a fine fellow by the way - became addicted to Bangkok on his first trip to Thailand a couple of years ago and it\'s this addiction that has rather forced him to evaluate his life in England and come to the conclusion that there\'s very little of it he likes.</p>\n<p>What piqued my interest was that many years ago, I too was Jonny. Now here I am at the opposite end of the spectrum you might say, finding less to get excited about in Thailand and &lsquo;getting homesick\' for things like the awful public transportation system, the sky-high cost of living, the wardrobe dilemmas, and all the other aspects of daily life in England that according to Jonny, make living there such a drag (I shall get to those later)</p>\n<p>Simply put, Jonny is going through the Thailand honeymoon period. How long that honeymoon period lasts depends on the individual in question - but I\'ve been through it too. \"Oh my God, what an amazing country! Why had no one told me about this place before? Why would anyone want to live anywhere else?\"</p>\n<p>However, what irked me a little about Jonny\'s article was the way it trashed the UK for no real good reason - certainly not based on the wonderful three weeks I\'ve just spent there. The criticisms seemed unjust and the comparisons misguided. Let me see if I can take some of Jonny\'s points in turn and give a young man some guidance. I was once a young man too but I\'m now older and hopefully a little wiser.</p>\n<p>First off, I think too many UK expats - those that have the blinkers on for their new country - seem to have a constant image of the UK that looks something like this.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/england1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>But the UK can also be this. It\'s a wonderful place if you hit it right and you can afford to live there in relative comfort.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/england2.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Expensive?</h3>\n<p>Going back to the article, the first of Jonny\'s claims is that England is &lsquo;ridiculously expensive\'. To that I would have to disagree. It isn\'t. Not when you are going back to the UK for a short holiday and you are paying less than 45 baht for a pound at Bangkok Airport.</p>\n<p>I admit that living in the UK full-time might be a pricier business, what with all those horrible council taxes to pay and suchlike, but Jonny is basing his viewpoints and comparisons on a short holiday in the reverse direction. Most long-term expats will tell you that living in Bangkok can be &lsquo;mighty expensive\' if you choose not to &lsquo;live like a Thai\' and seek out a more Western lifestyle. As eventually most of us do.</p>\n<p>I recently spent three weeks at my parents\' new bungalow just outside Stratford-Upon-Avon, on the edge of The Cotswolds. It\'s a beautiful part of England, but not what you would expect to be the cheapest area of the country. However, shopping and eating out are both still terrific value for money - even in leafy Middle England. You can fill a shopping basket in supermarket chains like Lidl and Aldi for considerably less than in Thailand and a person can still eat well at your average English pub for little more than a fiver. Even in the most touristy Cotswold destinations like Broadway and Stow-on-the-Wold, I found the price of a coffee and a cake to be no more expensive than their Thai equivalents.</p>\n<p>Jonny makes the point that in Bangkok, you can enjoy a delicious bowl of noodle soup on the street for just 50 baht. That is certainly true enough - but in all honesty, 50 baht is really all it\'s worth.</p>\n<h3>Unfriendly people?</h3>\n<p>\"People aren\'t friendly or respectful in the UK\" says Jonny, \"nobody dare smile at you on the street\"</p>\n<p>Jonny, I\'ll have to take you to Leamington Spa with me. I was there a couple of weeks ago on a particularly wet and dreary Monday - certainly a day you wouldn\'t expect strangers to be engaging in casual conversation.</p>\n<p>I was looking for the statue of Randolph Turpin, one of Leamington\'s most famous sons and the boxer who became middleweight champion of the world in 1951. Having drawn a blank at the information desk in the town hall, I spotted a man hurrying for his lunch break and wearing a Leamington Council issue windcheater. Surely he would know. I politely stopped him to enquire as to the whereabouts of the statue and my word, if this wonderful gentleman didn\'t then spend the next ten minutes filling me in on virtually every aspect of Randolph Turpin\'s life before confessing that the statue was actually in nearby Warwick. I was in the wrong town. It happens to me all the time.</p>\n<p>Later that afternoon - I found myself standing next to a young black woman in a bus queue (there were just the two of us actually) We both jumped out of our skins as a succession of police cars sped past us with lights flashing and sirens wailing. \"Probably on their way to Lillington\" the young woman remarked. She went on to explain that Lillington was a suburb of Leamington that had a reputation for being a hive of villainy. If the cops were going anywhere, it would be to Lillington for another drug bust. \"Have you finished work for the day?\" I asked, glancing at my watch and noting it was only mid-afternoon. The young woman explained that she did voluntary work several mornings a week at a local Citizen\'s Advice Bureau but returned home in the afternoon to look after her elderly mother.</p>\n<p>Finally, her bus emerged from out of the Cotswold drizzle and we had to say a hurried goodbye. I felt genuinely sorry because I had been enjoying our conversation so much. I\'m not what you would call a social person but I it dawned on me just how much I had enjoyed my conversations with strangers on that day in Leamington and how much I secretly craved them.</p>\n<p>I don\'t think I\'ve made conversation with a stranger at a bus stop in Bangkok in the 26 years I\'ve been here. It\'s just not done is it?</p>\n<p>I always find that whole &lsquo;English people never talk to each other\' to be something of a myth. Over the course of three weeks I struck up some lovely conversations with old men in pubs, elderly ladies in supermarket aisles and passengers on trains.</p>\n<h3>Poor transportation?</h3>\n<p>So what else does Jonny hate about the UK? \"Public transport is just too much effort\" he says.</p>\n<p>Oh Jonny, England must have some of the most wonderful public transport systems in the world. Who hasn\'t felt a frission of excitement as a single decker pulls up at a village bus stop in the middle of nowhere at seven minutes past the hour (just like the timetable said it would) and ferries you - the only passenger on board - to another village in the middle of nowhere and the journey ending with a cheerful goodbye from the driver as you alight.</p>\n<p>And don\'t get me started on the UK train system, which so many folk seem to derive pleasure in complaining about. I think it\'s magnificent. I won\'t have a word said against it. To sit back in your comfy seat in a sparsely populated carriage and watch the English countryside roll by as you munch on a king-size Mars Bar from the buffet trolley is still one of life\'s great pleasures. I could spend months just travelling around on the UK train network. I can peruse the destination boards at major train stations and immediately I\'m lost in my own little world, with an overwhelming desire to hop aboard a train that will take me to such exotic destinations as Poole, Carlisle and Chesterfield. The twelve minutes I\'ve got to change platforms at Leeds Central just adds to the excitement.</p>\n<h3>Clothes for all seasons</h3>\n<p>Finally, Jonny seems to be having wardrobe issues. \"I wake up in the morning in summer, get my cup of coffee, get showered and put on shorts and a t-shirt, to open the door to pissing down rain and freezing wind. Raincoat it is. At least in Thailand the weather is predictable\"</p>\n<p>It is predictable. Yesterday I went through the mental anguish of choosing which t-shirt to wear - the white one, the grey one or the navy blue. I decided on the white. I\'m wearing the navy blue one today. Tomorrow I\'ll go grey.<br />Oh the joy of slipping on a well-worn leather jacket. Just imagine it. To button up a polo shirt under a fine-knit cardigan, to wear a chunky sweater with jeans that don\'t hang off your arse five minutes after you\'ve left the apartment - or to accessorize a pastel-colored tee shirt with a nice man scarf.</p>\n<p>Johnny, you don\'t know how lucky you are! There are many great reasons for living in Thailand but I\'m convinced the UK has just as many.</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You may also be interested in...</h3>\n<p>Seriously, I know where the airport is. -&nbsp;<a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seriously-i-know-where-the-airport-is\">My response to the expression that always grinds my gears</a></p>','','2016-10-09 19:35:03',1,'2016-10-09 19:35:03','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31409,20,'For His Majesty','for-his-majesty','My humble tribute to a Great King and Leader.','It is impossible to describe how much Thai people love His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej because there is nothing else to compare it to. I can\'t think of another country that has loved a King, Leader or person so unanimously and unconditionally.','<p>For the first time in 70 years, Thai people woke up without Their King. I can\'t begin to comprehend how badly the nation is hurting.  I made Thailand my home for five years and His Majesty the King was ever present from day one. Taking in the celestial city of angels for the first time as a young man, I could never have imagined how much Thailand would come to mean to me.</p>\n<p>Through teaching in government high schools I became part of a Thai family. And during the years I was lucky to develop many meaningful relationships. Today, all the Thai people I care so much about are completely devastated. The following are my personal thoughts and experiences during my time in Thailand with His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. May He Rest in Peace.</p>\n<h3>First Meetings</h3>\n<p>At 22 years of age shortly after finishing my undergrad I came to Thailand to visit my mom. She had been working in the country so I skipped my graduation and hopped over. After two months with her in Isaan, I volunteered at a government high school in Udon Thani. I was tasked with helping an M6 student for an upcoming speech contest. Her speech topic was His Majesty. I knew next to nothing about The King, although I was beginning to get the idea. And the early details from my student\'s speech (along with her passion) helped get the ball rolling.</p>\n<h3>Shirts</h3>\n<p>I couldn\'t understand why people were wearing yellow polo shirts on Monday and pink ones on Tuesday. \"Why? Is it like a mandatory uniform?\" Patient Thai friends and my mom would explain that yellow is the King\'s colour and pink was for His health. I was so new to Thailand and only had surface understanding. So it all seemed a bit odd. It was different from Canada, but I continued with an open mind. Slowly, I began to appreciate the togetherness of the shirts. It began to grow on me, along with the country. One of those cool, unique things you only really appreciate until you leave perhaps.</p>\n<p>At school, I was given a yellow shirt and ended up buying my own (pink too of course). Thai teachers and students loved when I wore it and began to tell me more about The King. I was honoured to wear the symbol of His Majesty. The more I heard, the more interested I became.</p>\n<p>Now, I cannot pretend to be an expert on His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. However, I do know he always worked  to help Thai people . From large-scale irrigation projects in rural areas to His sufficiency economy theory, His Majesty wanted Thailand and Thai people to thrive. He quickly gained my respect and admiration the more I read about His vast accomplishments.</p>\n<h3>Everyday Life</h3>\n<p>I listened to His Majesty\'s composition every day at school. I always loved standing by the military students from M4-6 during the national anthem. It was so different from my upbringing in Toronto and I thought the military respect and discipline respect was so cool. Watching M5/6 players from my senior boys basketball team line up in their fatigues at the front of the school with pride etched on their faces to celebrate The King is something I won\'t soon forget.</p>\n<p>And In every home I would visit, pictures of His Majesty adorned high spaces on walls amongst families\' most prized possessions. For He was the most prized person, Father to all Thais.</p>\n<h3>Movies</h3>\n<p>All foreigners in the Land of Smiles have seen the video tributes before movies. I had never seen anything like that before and was fascinated from the beginning. Some of the videos even had me choked up! Ramrod attention, a bow at the conclusion and back to your popcorn. It\'s completely unique to Thailand, His Majesty, and was one of my favourite little joys during my time. True story: I once sternly reminded my Thai girlfriend at the time to stand properly while the tribute was playing. We recalled that funny memory today.</p>\n<h3>The Love</h3>\n<p>It is impossible to describe how much Thai people love His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej because there is nothing else to compare it to. I can\'t think of another country that has loved a King, Leader or person so unanimously and unconditionally. One thing that always struck me was the way Thai people would say \"My King.\" There is so much pride and love in their voice. You could viscerally feel it and see it on their face. My King. Whenever I asked questions about His Majesty the Thai person would begin to light up. They were so proud to share.</p>\n<p>This morning I could feel the grief coming through on social media. Sitting in my apartment in Toronto, Canada I could feel it. I knew the people writing the messages, posting the pics and how much they were stricken. A CNN reporter commented that on the ground you couldn\'t help but feel the grief.</p>\n<p>The coming ceremonies, visuals and tributes will be spectacular and awe inspiring, as they should be. Thailand and its people will mourn and say goodbye to Their King and Father. And I will be sad with them, as a friend is when a loved one is going through a difficult time. I hope Thailand moves forward with strength and unity. It would be a great tribute to His Majesty. Rest in Peace King Bhumibol Adulyadej.</p>\n<p><strong>Zach Laan</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/King.jpg','2016-10-14 04:28:43',1,'2016-10-14 04:28:43','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31414,41,'Long term work or short term work?','long-term-work-or-short-term-work','What are the pros and cons?','I\'ll simply take a look at some pros and cons for both long term and short term teaching stays in Thailand. For the sake of this article, \'short term\' is anything less than a school year and for \'long term\', any work that keeps you in Thailand for more than a year.','<p>There are an estimated 10,000 foreigners in Thailand teaching English at one level or another. If there was one single job that could be summed up as \'egalitarian\' it would be teaching English in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Literally anyone can do it. Native speakers and non-native speakers, qualified and unqualified, degreed and non-degreed, diligent or lazy, young or old, man or woman, black or white... if you can scramble together the airfare, there\'s an extended working holiday just waiting for you here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>For all of those people, there are jobs to match their skills (or lack of skills!) From the best paying (proper) jobs at international schools in the big city to month-long summer camps in the country, you\'ll find something that suits you.</p>\n<p>There are plenty of articles and blogs written by experienced teachers with lots of good advice for those of you who are getting ready to take the plunge. This is not one of those articles. You probably have a good idea of how long you want to spend in Thailand so I\'ll not attempt to persuade you one way or the other.</p>\n<p>I\'ll simply take a look at some pros and cons for both long term and short term teaching stays in Thailand. For the sake of this article, \'short term\' is anything less than a school year and for \'long term\', any work that keeps you in Thailand for more than a year.</p>\n<p>Of course, there are many more general pros and cons of teaching English in Thailand but I\'ll stick with the most significant and obvious ones that affect the length of time you want to be here.</p>\n<h3>Long-term teaching in Thailand - Advantages:</h3>\n<p><strong>1 - Living in Thailand is affordable, safe and fun.</strong></p>\n<p>Even if you don\'t have a pension or a stash of savings, living in Thailand may be for you. A modest income from teaching can keep you in a pretty good standard of living, regardless of your age.</p>\n<p>If you are young, you are going to be more resilient to the inconvenience of poverty. In fact, for the under 30s, &lsquo;rustic living\' has a certain cachet attached to it. Surf on, dude... Thailand welcomes you!</p>\n<p>If you\'re older, your limited resources will be more wisely managed and even a teacher\'s salary will see you living the good life in Thailand, although probably not in Bangkok!</p>\n<p><strong>2 - Long term teaching is the ultimate &lsquo;Great Escape!\'.</strong></p>\n<p>When you think about leaving your home country for an extended period of time, there can be a rush of panic. How will you possibly do without all the things that you have, up until now, taken for granted? Thailand makes it easy for you to make that transition.</p>\n<p>If you have a pension, then teaching part time or just for fun is a great way to exercise the grey cells, meet people and pass the time. Oh, and there\'s never any shortage of work.</p>\n<p><strong>3 - Professionally, teaching English can be satisfying.</strong></p>\n<p>If you\'re serious about your work as a teacher, the return on your emotional investment is tremendous. Distractions aside, the actual teaching is very rewarding. You\'ll usually be unencumbered by the distractions that most teachers around the world have to deal with. Also, Thai students are very well behaved and fun to be around.</p>\n<p>It\'s not perfect and you\'ll be frustrated by some aspects of the Thai education system, but if you can see past these and focus on your time in the classroom, you\'ll come away with rich rewards. Your work is valued and you can take pride in the way your time is spent.</p>\n<h3>Long-term teaching in Thailand - Disadvantages:</h3>\n<p><strong>1 - The money isn\'t all that good.</strong></p>\n<p>The wages in Thailand vary enormously but it\'s reasonable to say that for 90% of us they are pretty basic. Getting by isn\'t a problem and the occasional treat is usually within our budgets, but those unforeseen difficulties like accidents or ill-health probably won\'t be covered by your income. And tickets home each year to visit family are also probably out of the question.</p>\n<p><strong>2 - Reverse culture shock! (Yep, it\'s really a thing.)</strong></p>\n<p>The longer you stay, the harder it is to successfully resettle back home. You change, back home changes and your life in Thailand is seen as something of a stain on your resume. Getting work in your field of expertise is very hard when there are extended and unexplained gaps in your employment history.</p>\n<p>In addition, when you have been used to the loose and laid back life in Thailand, acclimating back into a Western world of petty rules and restricted freedoms can also be a big challenge.</p>\n<p><strong>3 - You may become burned out, resentful and depressed.</strong></p>\n<p>Teaching English in Thailand can be a thankless, poorly paid and haphazard ride. Things go wrong and there are few places to turn to when they do. Thailand is littered with plenty of burned out souls that are out of options. If you surround yourself with their failure it\'s easy to get sucked into a vortex of depression and hopelessness.</p>\n<h3>Short-term teaching in Thailand - Advantages:</h3>\n<p><strong>1 - It\'s fun!</strong></p>\n<p>Everything is done for you. Food, accommodation, even your lesson plans! And even if these things aren\'t provided for you, it\'s very easy to find a job and a cheap place to live nearby. Agencies hire anyone with a pulse so you can fly over, point to a city in Thailand where you want to live and you\'ll soon be in front of a class of 50 kids all looking at you like guppy fish at feeding time!</p>\n<p>There\'s next to no stress here in Thailand which leaves you with plenty of energy reserves to spend on having fun.</p>\n<p><strong>2 - It\'s cheap.</strong></p>\n<p>Flights to Thailand are cheap. Living here is cheap. Food, accommodation, bills... cheap cheap cheap! Even if you get into a jam, bailing you out of it will be cheap!</p>\n<p>My advice is always the same... bring twice as much money as you think you\'ll need and half as many clothes. That\'s sound advice but for every new teacher that listens to a sage, old-timer like me, there are a hundred others that don\'t and seem to get by just fine on a wing and prayer!</p>\n<p>There\'s probably no better place on earth to be stony broke than Thailand!</p>\n<p><strong>3 - In the short term, teaching in Thailand won\'t hurt your career.</strong></p>\n<p>Any excursion to Thailand for under a year won\'t be seen as a disaster on your resume. Most kids take a &lsquo;gap year\' after university and it\'s now widely recognized that us older folk also take time off our careers to examine our lives. Anything longer than a year in Thailand, though and the &lsquo;perv curve\' kicks in and future employers may regard you with some suspicion. The longer you stay, the steeper the &lsquo;perv curve\' gets.</p>\n<p>Guys, if you are planning on this being a short term extended break before you go home and back to the real world, then keep this adventure OFF all your social media accounts. Girls, you\'re OK. You won\'t get the same inquisitive looks as blokes do when you\'re being interviewed for that job at the All-Farm insurance company.</p>\n<h3>Short-term teaching in Thailand - Disadvantages:</h3>\n<p><strong>1 - You won\'t really see much of Thailand.</strong></p>\n<p>While the experience of living and working in Thailand for a little while is a novelty in itself, you can soon get bogged down and start to think that you\'re actually doing a real job. And that\'s NOT what you came here for, right? What happened to all the elephant trekking and the weekends on the beach? Short term contracts in Thailand don\'t include holidays and paid time off. It\'s all work and no play!</p>\n<p><strong>2 - The money is terrible... if you get any!</strong></p>\n<p>Email your mum every day and keep her sweet because the chances are you\'ll need her help! Many agencies will find any excuse to hold back your wages and lie about how much you are getting. Even if you get hired by a school directly, be sure to have something in the bank or a credit card. Of course, this is the worst case scenario, but it happens and it happens a lot, so at least be prepared if it happens to you. Your employers will know that you aren\'t sticking around and they also know exactly when you\'re going home.</p>\n<p>Also - the chances are that if you\'re employed on a short term contract, you\'ll be working illegally, so there\'s that, too.</p>\n<p><strong>3 - It\'s over too quickly.</strong></p>\n<p>By the time you\'ve unpacked, recovered from you first bout of tummy troubles and gotten used to eating without a knife, it\'s time to go home. No sooner do you get the hang of drinking beer with ice in it  and you\'re off back home where the oranges actually are orange in color!</p>\n<p>Your carefree and stress-free working holiday will go by very quickly leaving plenty of things left undone. So you have two options; you can stay for longer or come back again in the future.</p>\n<p>In conclusion...</p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">If you\'re undecided about how much time you want to commit to teaching in Thailand, it\'s worth making your own list of pros and cons.&nbsp;</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">However long you decide to come here for (or however long you end up staying!) you\'ll be welcome. Thais are friendly and patient and very helpful. If you have any questions, hit up other ESL blog writers and sound them out. Writers love to share their experiences and will readily give sound, practical advice.</span></p>\n<p>Avoid ESL forums and Facebook groups. These rat-holes are infested with bitter and resentful people who see the world through a bottle and won\'t have anything of value to offer you.</p>\n<p>In the end, you are creating memories for a lifetime and changing your outlook on life.

But one thing is reasonably certain - without wholesale changes in education policy, it might not be a better future!</p>\n<p>It\'s an accepted view that a functioning education system is the key to the future prosperity of Thailand. It is also the top issue that the Thai public wants to see properly addressed. However, education (especially in rural areas) is not working. In fact, it really should be categorized as being in a state of emergency!</p>\n<p>The massive and expensive investment that started at the end of the 1980s, that got more children in Thailand to show up to school, isn\'t paying academic dividends. Enrollment currently stands at about 80% which probably sounds low to any Westerner reading this. Actually, it\'s an extraordinary improvement and no mean feat considering the expansive geographical nature of Thailand and the lack of safe transport and local facilities.</p>\n<p>The explosive rise of smaller Thai schools (less than 20 students per grade) has risen to about 20,000. But it seems that they are doing little more than warehousing students till they are old enough to leave. Small and remote schools are hindered by a chronic lack of qualified and competent teachers, useable materials, physical infrastructure and regulatory oversight.</p>\n<p>Half of 15-year-old boys outside the largest Thai cities are functionally illiterate and perform at a level, two years lower than 15-year-old boys in Vietnam! It\'s a pickle, folks and something drastic and sensible has (yet?) to be done.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been teaching in different schools and businesses around Thailand for a long time and in my view, there are <strong>five</strong> important areas that need to be addressed immediately, to secure (or at least improve) the standing of Thai education for the next generation entering an uncertain future...</p>\n<h3>1 - Curriculum ad nauseum!</h3>\n<p>Get rid of the existing one - it\'s bloody awful. Don\'t improve it - abandon it! If anyone mentions \'O-Net\', SHOOT THEM! Start again from the ground up.</p>\n<p>The government should prioritize the implementation of a brand new \'common core curriculum\' using updated and modern academic standards for the most important subjects... and then hold schools to account when these standards are not achieved. These curriculums must also be geared to work in areas of Thailand where Thai isn\'t spoken.</p>\n<p>If local provinces are persuaded to teach more Thai language instruction during early years education, there is the obvious knock-on benefit of improving overall student achievements in the long term. This negligent attitude to cultural and linguistic differences contributes to the south of Thailand feeling alienated and at odds with mainstream national culture. And it also affects the north and other border areas, too.</p>\n<h3>2 - Better teacher training...</h3>\n<p>As part of the push to improve the curriculum, teachers have to want to teach it! They have to be capable of delivering the classes and also of ensuring that students are retaining what is being taught. School administrations must be given modern and ongoing resources to train their teachers to be able to deliver the goods in the classroom!</p>\n<p>And of course, teachers have to be paid! The shortage of good teachers willing to stay in remote areas is a tragedy and you can\'t really blame them. One answer would be to pay teachers to train and require repayment in terms of service rather than crippling student loans. There are already lots of generous grants that the government makes available for university education. Surely these grants can be re-tooled to require volunteer teacher graduates to spend a year or two in schools that are in need of qualified talent?</p>\n<h3>3 - ...which brings me on to student assessment. (Grrr!)</h3>\n<p>Let\'s get real and stop this face-saving charade of passing every student regardless of their ability. Thailand\'s schools need to grow up and start to assess all students in an accurate, reliable and honest manner. It is only by doing this that students can be guided to the further education, careers and jobs that they are most suited to doing in the future.</p>\n<p>I\'m all for \'no child left behind\', but this current state of affairs is just laughable! It doesn\'t help to motivate any students (even the good ones) when all of them pass the tests and exams, regardless of their input.</p>\n<h3>4 - Embracing education technology.</h3>\n<p>The adoption of decent educational technology is woefully inadequate and/or out of date. There\'s really no excuse for this. Every school and every teacher should have online access to all the lesson plans for every class in every subject. Every classroom (big or small) should be equipped with the facilities with which to teach and learn in an entertaining, appropriate and modern environment. Google provides an amazing wealth of tools for educators and schools and they\'re free! Why aren\'t schools using them?</p>\n<p>Also, there should be official, national, online support groups for all Thai teachers which should be easy to access. They should be properly moderated to help teachers to do their jobs with confidence. It\'s easy for teachers to feel worn down, isolated and neglected when their schools are miles from the nearest toilet!</p>\n<h3>5 - Political decentralization.</h3>\n<p>Although the previous points take aim at the government to initiate improvements, it is the very centralization of government in education that handcuffs educators and holds schools back. The political stranglehold over education policy, funding and management has been a disaster. This is especially true in deprived areas. \'Top-down\' political management needs to be re-thought out so that it works in favor of specific areas of Thailand and not just in favor of the schools within cheating distance of the capital.</p>\n<h3>In conclusion...</h3>\n<p>It\'s not enough for students to simply show up to school. There needs to be a wholesale and radical change to the approach to education that makes it worth their while putting on a uniform each day rather than working in a rice field. Thai taxpayers are allowing billions of baht to be wasted, feeding a meaningless and ineffective machine of so-called \'reforms\' that just aren\'t working.</p>\n<p>The money is there... the will is there... but the lack of any visionary leadership is not. Thailand will continue to be bombarded with barmy ideas that frustrate parents, students, schools and teachers unless someone comes forward with the courage to admit failure and start afresh on a path of wholesale, realistic... and painful changes.</p>','','2016-10-24 19:12:57',1,'2016-10-24 19:12:57','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31429,20,'A year in rural Thailand','a-year-in-rural-thailand','Twelve months at a Thai government school','Today I am celebrating my first year of teaching at a government school in rural Thailand.

Throughout that time I\'ve had an excellent experience both with the welcoming staff and the enthusiastic students. I thought I\'d share some of the interesting idiosyncrasies within the Thai government school where I currently work...</p>\n<p>Initially, I started my contract via a small agency in October of last year. One of the first events, which was a fun experience, was the school\'s sports week. The school loves any form of activity and many of the students are proficient in sports like Muay Thai, Sepak Takraw, table tennis, javelin, athletics, etc. This was a great opportunity to gear lessons around sports as a subject, thus getting the students to talk about their favourite sporting activities.</p>\n<p>I tend to implement some of the topics I cover to correspond with the school\'s schedule of events. Previously, I had no access to the school\'s schedule and worked from a scheme of work provided by the agency. The sports event was a great means to get the students working cohesively. The students are also \'caretakers\' at the school, ensuring it is kept tidy at all times, so team activities work well in class.</p>\n<h3>Xmas</h3>\n<p>Christmas was also great fun and as mentioned in a previous blog, I was \'volunteered\' to play Santa Claus. I think I gained some brownie points with the director on that occasion. I really got into the spirit of Christmas and took part as Santa in the school\'s pantomime.</p>\n<p>I always made a point of talking with her when she was walking the grounds. I liked to think she could practice her English and I would often bring her gifts of fruit from my farm. Sadly, she has recently moved on as a director at a larger school after four years here. It appears common amongst school directors to move around schools and we recently had a nice ceremony to welcome our new director. I hope he likes pineapples and mangos!</p>\n<p>Despite the seemingly long semester of six months, it should be taken into consideration that there is a numerous amount of public holidays and activities that will often take precedence over taught lessons. With this in mind, I keep a handy spreadsheet on all groups to track where we are regarding progression and topics delivered. With that schedule in mind here are some further highlights and thoughts from the rest of the school year.</p>\n<h3>New Year</h3>\n<p>The Chinese New Year. We shared some great activities with the younger students while discovering their animals according to their birthdays and creating face masks of their animals. The older groups got involved in decorating the class with Chinese lanterns and paper dragons. I like to think this encouraged expanding some cultural awareness whilst also making it fun.</p>\n<p>We had the chance to read out the story behind the Chinese new year too. Plus, I got to make a fool of myself with a rat mask as other students prowled about as bulls, rams and monkeys. No doubt we\'ll be preparing the students for Halloween towards the end of this month. More masks and decorations at the ready.</p>\n<h3>Wai Kru (Teacher\'s Day)</h3>\n<p>Students had made small gifts from flowers and handmade cards expressing their gratefulness towards their teachers. The Thai teaching staff got me involved and I was more than happy to participate. I sat with the other teachers whilst all of the students proceeded to kneel and bow to the teachers. This was my first Wai Kru ceremony and I must confess, I felt humbled by the whole experience. Teachers certainly receive a lot of respect in Thailand and deservedly so.</p>\n<h3>The Sports Parade</h3>\n<p>About forty or more schools from the region congregated in the city stadium over three days to participate in a number of competitive sports. I got involved in coaching the students in Sepak Takraw (kick ball). This is a great sport combining volleyball and football skills. I even use a rattan ball (made of soft cane wood) to nominate students in class. Some of the older students from other schools were very acrobatic in their serve and it was a great game to enjoy watching the students work as a team.</p>\n<p>Sadly, our school didn\'t make it to the finals. We did, however, win gold in athletics, discus and javelin. We also won a gold for our parade. We love a good parade and the students are excellent at putting on a display of traditional Thai dancing. It wasn\'t long before our school put on more parades at another local school and also at a local temple prior to a Buddhist holiday.</p>\n<h3>Scouts. (Be Prepared!)</h3>\n<p>This was a fun few days where the students camped on the school grounds and the staff organized a variety of activities for them to engage with. As a former scout myself, I got involved in helping out with orienteering... The scouts set out to find various clues on a map and achieve other numerous tasks.</p>\n<p>On the final night, a &lsquo;jamboree\' was held around a very interesting indoor fire. As the weather had dampened the outside fire, the school caretakers got creative, combining an indoor fan at the base of a pyramid of fluorescent lights and colored tissue paper which made for the illusion of fire. Risk assessment, notwithstanding!</p>\n<h3>The X Factor</h3>\n<p>With the run up to the week of the student\'s finals, we had a singing competition during their lunch breaks. Essentially karaoke, a chance for the talented and not so talented to get their X Factor on.  I teased a staff member I\'d signed them up for karaoke, not sure they got the joke. I like to think this helped the students to take time out of preparation for their exams. It was a fun distraction if nothing else.</p>\n<h3>Back To Class</h3>\n<p>After all the fun and games were over, it was time for the students to take their finals and I eventually got to complete the student\'s results. Last year, I was led through the Thai grading by the Thai staff and this year I had more or less grasped it. I\'d just got used to working this out before a new and improved one was introduced. Fortunately, this was very similar to the previous scoring system.</p>\n<p>We can now see graphs and charts of overall performance. Whilst it\'s not the most robust of systems, it\'s still a vast improvement... although, I still get a bit dismayed when students get through on a \'pass\' grade, despite rarely attending classes.</p>\n<p>As the year recommences I\'d like to think that I\'m a little bit more prepared than when I started out last year. I had been tempted to move to a bigger school nearer to home in the city. However, all the schools recruit through agencies, which have some bizarre clauses in their contracts that I don\'t deem favourable to a professional teacher.</p>\n<p>For now, I\'m continuing to work at the small rural school where, hopefully, I have some impact on the students. They\'ve certainly made my time here an enjoyable one as their English teacher.</p>\n<p><strong>Nigel Quinn</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<h3>Also from the same writer</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-guests/going-with-the-flow\">Going with the flow</a> - Getting a teaching job in rural Thailand</p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/adventures-in-rural-thailand\">Adventures in rural Thailand</a> - My first six months at a Thai government school</p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/more-adventures-in-rural-thailand\">More adventures in rural Thailand</a> -&nbsp;My first semester at a Thai government school</p>\n<h3>You might also be interested in ...</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/teaching-in-the-sticks/\">Teaching in the sticks</a> - 31 cool and awesome things about living and teaching in rural Thailand</p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/bangkok-or-up-country-which-is-best\">Bangkok or up-country?</a> Which is best? - Are you a city boy or a country bumpkin?</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/thai_students2.gif','2016-10-25 03:15:21',1,'2016-10-25 03:15:21','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31432,10,'A shout out for EVA Air','a-shout-out-for-eva-air','Their premium economy class offering to Europe was actually very good','The secret with flying any premium economy class airline is not to set your expectations too high. Premium economy is not ‘business class lite\'. It\'s not a halfway house between those passengers rammed into cattle class and those snoozing peacefully at the front of the aircraft. It\'s nowhere near.','<p>Last month, on my annual trip back to England, I got to fly with EVA Air for the very first time. I had been meaning to try Taiwan\'s national airline for quite a while and I\'m finally glad I got the opportunity. I thought they were superb!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The only reason I\'ve shied away from using EVA Air in the past is because they don\'t fly a route from Bangkok to my hometown of Birmingham, England. You basically have a choice of flying to London Heathrow or Amsterdam Schiphol and then making onward travel plans from there.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, with EVA Air\'s ‘premium economy\' class seat (which gets excellent reviews on the internet) available for a good price, I decided to book the journey home in two stages and allow for a one-night layover in The Netherlands.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>55,000 baht all in</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For the number crunchers out there, the flight to Amsterdam was 42,000 baht return, one night at an airport hotel was 7,000 baht and the following morning, relaxed and refreshed, I caught the KLM city hopper, which takes 50 minutes to fly from Amsterdam to Birmingham. The KLM return ticket added another 6,000 baht to the bill.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So I did the whole journey (including a very nice hotel room and a premium economy seat on the long haul leg) for 55,000 baht. I think that was a pretty good deal.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Middle East nightmares</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For many years I used The Middle Eastern carriers such as Emirates Airlines or Qatar Airways but as I\'ve got older, my tolerance for those Middle Eastern airports has all but vanished. I just find Dubai Airport to be Hell on earth. From the 30-minute magical mystery tour from plane to terminal by shuttle bus - to the chaotic security check manned by grumpy, surly staff - to the non-existent free wi-fi signal. There isn\'t a single aspect of a Dubai layover that I enjoy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And as my loathing for Dubai Airport increased over the years, the entire journey home began to feel like taking two ‘long haul flights\', especially when you are squeezed into cattle class for the duration (neither Emirates or Qatar has a premium economy option by the way)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The six hours from Bangkok to Dubai I could just about deal with, but after three hours on the ground at the world\'s biggest duty-free shop (and that\'s all Dubai Airport is) and with fatigue and jet lag starting to kick in - that seven MORE hours on to Birmingham begins to feel like an awful long time to be in the air.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what about EVA Air itself? Why was I so impressed?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well for starters I would choose the timing. Midday departures from Bangkok Airport mean far less stress on body and soul compared to the ungodly, early-hour-of-the-morning take-off slots that the Middle Eastern airlines seem to favor. In addition, you\'re flying directly to Amsterdam. Yes, I know eleven hours is a long time to be sat on a plane but give me that over the thirteen-hour Bangkok-Dubai-Birmingham endurance test any day of the week.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Feeling special</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>EVA Air has a designated check-in row for premium economy passengers and not all premium class airlines offer this. It\'s a gesture that\'s always much appreciated and of course you board and disembark the aircraft ahead of those flying economy class. These are all ‘little things\' that make the ordeal of a long haul flight less stressful and worth the extra cost of the ticket I feel. Also baggage allowance is a very generous 30 kilograms for those flying premium economy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I guess it\'s nearly always the staff that determines whether a business is successful or not and I can\'t say enough kind words about the EVA Air flight crew. The stewardesses were the friendliest I\'d ever encountered (not to mention the most attractive) and nothing was too much trouble when it came to making sure passengers were comfortable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of my biggest gripes on long haul flights has always been the lack of refreshments coming round. Not so with EVA Air. Towards the end of the flight I actually found myself saying \"no! no more water and apple juice please!\" as the stewardesses did another circuit with trays full of drinks. It\'s not often that happens in these days of commercial aviation cost-cutting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But at the end of the day, it\'s all about two things - the comfort of the seat and the legroom in front of you. Nothing else matters on a long haul flight! Those are the reasons why I\'ve paid 30-50% more than the price of an economy class seat.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What, no amenity kit!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I chuckle when I read many of the online flight reviews that go into detail about the amenities kit, the in-flight food and the on-board entertainment system. I couldn\'t give a toss about any of that stuff quite frankly and I\'m amazed that other fliers do.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If the eye mask doesn\'t quite block out all the light or there isn\'t any toothpaste, I will survive. And surely no one on a long-haul flight is expecting a five-star dining experience. It\'s food. It\'s edible. Get it down you. Meals on flights are merely a convenient distraction and a way to pass half an hour. And as for the entertainment system, I\'ll pass. I\'ve got a selection of my favorite movies, half a dozen game apps along with a hundred or so music albums all loaded onto my smartphone. That\'s all my entertainment right there. The screen in the seatback in front of me is purely for displaying the flight path and to let me know when we\'ve finally entered European air space.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m not going to bore you with details about the inches of seat pitch because I never had a tape measure handy but let\'s just say that even as a six-footer, I had plenty of room. I didn\'t lose the feeling in my legs once on the whole flight! Of course it does help immeasurably if the seat next to you is empty, as it was on both my outgoing and incoming flights.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So two thumbs up for EVA Air. If you\'re looking to fly back to Europe and EVA premium economy is a viable option, give it a try because I don\'t think you\'ll be disappointed. The secret with flying any premium economy class airline is not to set your expectations too high. Premium economy is not ‘business class lite\' (although EVA Air\'s does come very, very close). It\'s not quite a halfway house between those passengers rammed into cattle class and those snoozing peacefully at the front of the aircraft. Not quite.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I made the mistake of setting my expectations too high last year when I tried out Lufthansa\'s premium economy offering. Thanks to a computer error in the Lufthansa system (it\'s a long story) I ended up paying 70% more than the cost of an economy class seat. And Lufthansa\'s premium economy was nowhere near 70% better.</p>','','2016-10-26 17:49:25',1,'2016-10-26 17:49:25','2018-08-02 10:21:04'),(31436,95,'Who is worth working for?','who-is-worth-working-for','In search of the holy grail.','Is there a Holy Grail of ELT jobs?

But judging from some of the comments on my previous blogs, it seems that not everyone chooses wisely, and the consequences are rather alarming for these victim-teachers.</p>\n<p>Is there a Holy Grail of ELT jobs? Why are some teachers happy, while others suffer under a yoke of abuse?&nbsp;<span>Who are these employers that are spoiling our fun?</span></p>\n<p>I freely admit having some strong opinions on this issue - the foremost of which is that teaching English in Thailand should not be a prison sentence or some sort of hardship posting. To my mind, we aren\'t meant to be smitten to dust when we sign a contract of employment.</p>\n<p>Here are a few of my ideas on these questions - feel free to add anything you think I\'ve missed in the comments:</p>\n<p><strong>1.	The Holy Grail:</strong> While some people think the Holy Grail is real, it\'s probably just a myth. Similarly, the perfect job. Every employment opportunity has serious flaws. Schools have to run at a profit, and teachers form part of that profit-and-loss process. That means we aren\'t likely to get the packages we might wish for - no Ferraris, possibly not health insurance, sometimes no holiday pay, surely not a pension policy, probably not a 13th cheque. A professional Holy Grail might be found in other, more psychic rewards.</p>\n<p><strong>2.	Gem-studded lures:</strong> Dr. Elsa and Water Donovan were cunningly lured by the pretty cup studded with gems. It\'s an easy mistake to make. Over the years, I\'ve seen how poorly managed schools use money to try to please the foreign teacher. It works too - for a while. Money is awesome. But ultimately the truth will out, so to speak. Motivations for becoming a teacher are complicated, but we don\'t generally become teachers for the riches. More likely it\'s security, the chance to make a difference, or some such. Well-managed schools understand that teachers are (or aspire to be) professionals, and appreciate being treated as one. I concede, however, that every teacher I know working in the Middle East would tell me to put a sock in it.</p>\n<p><strong>3.	A seller\'s market:</strong> There are quite often more jobs available than there are teachers for them. That means the teacher is in the driving seat. If you take a job, the person who interviews you is likely to be your point of contact at the school. So the interview is a great opportunity to find out if the school is right for you. Who is this person? Can you trust them? Are they interested in you as a teacher? Is this someone you could turn to for help with the problems that are the inevitable part of a teacher\'s routine?</p>\n<p>Back to point 1, in every school there is a constant tug-of-war between educational demands and operational costs - and foreign teachers are a major expense. Sometimes, when finances dominate, the administration will decide to take control the teachers - keep a tight lid on the expenses and so on. It doesn\'t work. Teachers need creative space, and they need to talk teacher stuff, they also need to complain. Teachers seem to thrive on complaining for some reason, but it\'s just part of who we are.</p>\n<p>Complain to an administrator, and you\'ll find that your job is somehow suddenly on shaky ground. Complain to a seasoned teacher, and you\'ll get some sympathy and three suggestions for how to make things better. When a teacher climbs the ladder and gets to be manager, they may make a lot of management mistakes (given that they are a teacher, not a manager), but at least you know you have an ally who will understand your situation.</p>\n<p>So during the interview, find out if your interviewer has taught, or even better, still teaches. Ask them what kinds of problems they have experienced with the students. If they say that there are no problems, be suspicious: this is not how teachers talk.</p>\n<p><strong>4.	Institutional preoccupations:</strong> Like you, schools are waiting for that Holy Grail of the perfect teacher. During the interview, the school will give away important clues about what their Holy Grail teacher looks like. Are they looking to cut costs? Do they want a real educator? A pretty decoration? Are they scared of people running away? Do they revile teachers who make demands?</p>\n<p>So, pay attention to the questions you are asked. An administrator will be interested in contractual details. These are important, sure, but they aren\'t the focus of teachers\' every day workload. Be pleased if you are asked what your teaching philosophy is, or how you would teach the present perfect tense, or what techniques you use for managing difficult classes. These are questions that are difficult to answer because there are no definitive answers, but they are questions by teachers for teachers. If you get these questions, and if you take this job, you can expect to be appreciated for the professional they take you to be.</p>\n<p><strong>5.	A wooden chalice:</strong> Indiana Jones identifies the right Holy Grail as a wooden cup, matching the reality of the real source of Jesus\' humble origins. I\'m stretching my metaphor here, and apologize in advance: happy teachers are those who are well-matched with their school. Not all teachers fit into every teaching scenario. Uptight, militaristic teachers are probably not really suitable for laid-back language schools, as an example.</p>\n<p>Think about what makes you tick as a teacher before your interview, and see how closely this school matches your dream. There won\'t be a perfect match, I predict, but finding a school where you can stretch your own personal wings will make waking up in the morning much easier.</p>\n<p><strong>6.	Red flags:</strong> Some schools don\'t trust teachers. You may have come across a school like this. In these schools, the contract tends to be peppered with threats, or perhaps teachers are separated from one another to prevent union behaviour. Sometimes, they try to entice teachers\' buy-in through weekend picnics and the like. To me, these are red flags; but they aren\'t terminal - if you spot these but the job seems to work, try negotiating around them - it\'s possible that you\'ll get through the mistrust and find a good employer after all.</p>\n<p>There is unlikely to be a Holy Grail. But there are certainly a lot of options - and it is possible to choose wisely. Our goal is perhaps to find a school where we fit, or one that is accepting and gives a reasonable amount of professional space to get along with whatever it is that teachers do.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, unlike Walter Donovan, if you choose poorly, you don\'t get smitten to dust and you get to try again. If you have chosen poorly more than once, you need some lessons.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-10-30 04:09:28',1,'2016-10-30 04:09:28','2016-11-09 17:05:29'),(31447,52,'November 2016','november-2016','News, promotions and deals from Thailand\'s main TEFL course providers','Thinking of taking a TEFL course in Thailand?

You can avoid all those over-used cliches.','You\'re seriously missing out if you don\'t refer to Bangkok as a ‘cosmopolitan melting pot\' or ‘an assault on the senses\'.','<p>You\'ve just got back from a year / six months / a long weekend in Thailand and you\'re aching to let the world know about it on your blog site - but the dreaded &lsquo;writer\'s block\' has kicked in. There are an awful lot of Thailand travel blogs out there competing for eyeballs but fear not, I\'m here with some suggestions and advice on how to make your efforts stand out from the crowd.</p>\n<p>Let\'s begin with the title because it\'s a killer title that captures your potential reader\'s interest. I\'m a huge fan of something simple like <em>&lsquo;The Ultimate Guide to Thailand\'</em>. That\'s right, you\'ve written an &lsquo;ultimate guide\' to a country that\'s 198,000 square miles in size and you\'ve done it in eight paragraphs. Has anyone ever told you you\'re a genius?</p>\n<p>Then comes the mental anguish of the opening paragraph - the bane of any writer\'s life. A well-written opening paragraph will determine whether your reader wants to continue to the bitter end or go back to surfing porn. Just as my pal Frank said that you should never write a blog on Cambodia without making reference to <em>&lsquo;a country slowly awakening from a nightmare</em>\' you\'re seriously missing out if you don\'t refer to Bangkok as a <em>&lsquo;cosmopolitan melting pot\'</em> (a bit like Manchester I suppose) or <em>&lsquo;an assault on the senses\'</em> (similar to the feeling you get when you walk along Birmingham\'s Indian curry mile)</p>\n<p>And despite the fact you probably never met my notoriously-hard-to-please grandmother, don\'t ever overlook the opportunity to use<em> &lsquo;there\'s something for everyone\'</em>.</p>\n<p>Yes, I know they are phrases that have been used before but as the nun said to the bishop - \"stick it in, you know you want to\"</p>\n<p>Let\'s move on to what will be the &lsquo;meat\' of your blog and start with the markets. Markets should always be <em>&lsquo;teeming with locals\'</em> (who else did you expect them to be teeming with?) and although it\'s far too early to play the<em> &lsquo;assault on the senses\'</em> card again, markets should be full of <em>&lsquo;exotic sights and smells\'</em> not to mention <em>&lsquo;vibrant colors\'</em>. Markets should also be <em>&lsquo;bustling\'</em> and offer a <em>\'myriad of local products\'</em>.  And when you\'ve had your fill of walking around what feels like a <em>&lsquo;giant outdoor sauna\'</em> you can reward yourself with not just a foot massage but a <em>&lsquo;two dollar foot massage\'</em>.</p>\n<p>You should make several references to <em>&lsquo;friendly, smiling Thai people\'</em> especially if you make it down to the islands. This ain\'t The Land of Smiles for nothing. Don\'t fret over the fact that the hotels, guest houses and beach bars are staffed entirely by Burmese. Your reader isn\'t to know that, and the natives all look the same once they\'ve been out in the sun long enough.</p>\n<p>In Thailand, everyone is friendly. From the guest house owner who talked you into booking day-trips to destinations <em>&lsquo;off the beaten track\'</em> - to the tuk-tuk driver who gave you a tour of Bangkok\'s finest gemstone shops<em> &lsquo;for the price of a cup of coffee\'</em>, everyone is just so <em>&lsquo;smiling and friendly\'</em>. It\'s the way the tourist industry works in Asia. No one cares about your money! Oh, and before we move on, never forget that tuk-tuk rides are always <em>&lsquo;the white knuckle\'</em> kind.</p>\n<p>So you\'re on a tropical island and you\'re down on the beach. This is where you can really make  your readers wish they were there with you. The water should be<em> &lsquo;crystal clear\'</em> or<em> &lsquo;of the deepest blue\' </em>(as opposed to just blue with bits of green) and of course you\'ll pitch your sun-lounger on <em>&lsquo;white sand\'</em> (rather than the more commonly seen brown colored variety with lots of stones and twigs in it) And don\'t forget that a beach isn\'t worth the time of day unless it\'s <em>&lsquo;fringed by &lsquo;swaying palm trees\'</em>.</p>\n<p>You get the point. So what do the travel writing experts say: those who churn out this stuff for  a living?</p>\n<p>The dismal truth is that travel writing is hard. It\'s extremely hard. It\'s the one area where writers consistently produce their worst work.</p>\n<p>As the late William Zinsser says in his brilliant <em>On Writing Well</em>.....</p>\n<p>\"nobody turns into a bore as quickly as the traveller home from his travels and now wanting to tell us all about it. And &lsquo;all about it\' is the last thing we want to read. What made your trip different from everybody else\'s? What can you tell us that we don\'t already know? We don\'t want a description of every ride at Disneyland or that The Grand Canyon is awesome or that Venice has miles of canals. If one of the rides at Disneyland got stuck or if someone fell into a Venetian canal, now that would be worth hearing about!\"</p>\n<p>The blog that records most or everything you did on your trip will fascinate you because it was <strong>your</strong> trip. Will it fascinate the reader? No, it won\'t.</p>\n<p>Travel writing is a world of syrupy adjectives and expressions that you would never use in conversation. Towns are <em>&lsquo;nestled\'</em> in hills and countrysides are dotted with <em>quaint villages</em>. And what about those places where <em>old meets new</em>? Let me tell you something - old never meets old.</p>\n<p>One of the golden rules of travel writing is that if a phrase comes too easily, then eye it with deep suspicion. Choose words and expressions with unusual care. I\'m not one to discourage budding travel writers out there but spare a thought for us readers - ask yourself if the world needs another Thailand travel blog like the one you\'re about to unleash?</p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of this. It\'s time to hail a ridiculously cheap Bangkok taxi, fight Bangkok\'s gridlocked traffic and run some errands in one of the city\'s modern, air-conditioned shopping malls. Trusting of course you managed to read this far.</p>','','2016-11-03 00:09:55',1,'2016-11-03 00:09:55','2016-11-03 14:02:56'),(31458,85,'Have you ever taught an intensive English course?','have-you-ever-taught-an-intensive-english-course','I\'m teaching the same group of students six hours a day.','Have you ever taught a truly intensive English class?

It gets one out of the humdrum of everyday life, and can fulfill a desire that I think has driven many of us ESL teachers to Asia: the love of travel.</p>\n<p>At the moment, I\'m away from Yangon on a two and a half week assignment in a medium-sized city in the heart of the Irrawaddy Delta, some 160 km from home.  The contract is with a UN agency, and the students are civil servants in the ministry of welfare and resettlement. Essentially, I\'m teaching social workers.</p>\n<p>I\'ve really enjoyed this quirky little town and surrounding countryside. The students have been great, and whereas I was hoping to have been lodged in a better hotel room, there\'s not  a lot to choose from in this town of 200,000.</p>\n<p>Along with the novelty of the location and its temporary nature, another new thing for me on this gig is its intensiveness. Six hours a day to the same group of students. I\'m covering in 72 hours, material which we would normally teach in 120. It\'s a speaking-listening class, so I\'m able to cut out all the reading and writing bits, but sometimes readings are necessary to set context, so there\'s got to be a little.</p>\n<p>Six hours teaching per day isn\'t terrible. I\'ve done it before over several terms. Point being, that amount of time as a single class to the same group of students, now that\'s been a challenge.</p>\n<p>Non-teachers reading this might scoff at the idea that six hours of work per day is a hardship. Teachers would remind them that six hours of teaching is somewhere between eight to ten hours of actual work when you consider lesson planning, marking time and record keeping. This isn\'t a nine-to-five job.</p>\n<p>There are certain advantages to this class length.  First of all, the text I\'m using integrates elements presented earlier in the unit to the latter parts of the unit. Usually, when teaching a unit, that earlier material could have taught two weeks ago, and it\'s not so fresh in the students\' minds. Now, I can say things like \"Remember this morning when we talked about modal verbs?\", and most of the time, they do. &nbsp;That said, pedagogically speaking, I don\'t think it\'s the ideal way to learn a foreign language. If I had the time, I\'d do more drilling and review than I\'m doing because there\'s so much they need to learn each day, it\'s more difficult to retain.</p>\n<p>English grammar is hard enough without having to absorb modal verbs, -ing forms and the present perfect in a single session. Lexically, I think the human brain is only capable of learning a certain number of new words each day. Let\'s call it ten. I\'m giving them 30 to 40 per day. They\'re obviously getting something out of being here, if not all that they could if it were spread out over more time. See, these workers have come here to this small town because their ministry has a training facility here. They come from all over Myanmar and are away from their regular jobs and duties. Their only job now is to learn English, and it\'s my job to teach it to them, whatever cards we\'ve been dealt.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Feedback in the comments, please.

Change can take place with students, administration, colleagues, visa rules, work documents, and even our own life.</p>\n<p>These changes might mean to leaving in search of greener pastures, students going to the next level of education, people starting a family, friends forming new relationship, progressive individuals developing new skills, the courageous ones accepting new challenges or friends going back to their home country for good.    The feelings of each change depend on how much people become out of it.  They may welcome it or not, but the feelings are real. Of course, they may vary from one person to another.</p>\n<p>Being in Thailand for more than two years now, I have noticed that my life has constantly evolved.  Meeting new people, students as friends, travelled new places, strange colleagues turned confidante, newly discovered interests, and teaching insights; all of them have taken new perspectives.</p>\n<h3>Influence</h3>\n<p>However, as changes take place, you will surely meet a person who directly influences and affects your life in a magnitude that he/she might never know.  You might not even know that you have been influenced until things have taken a new shape.  This individual, opens up your mind to possibilities, paves the way for opportunities and has led you to discover your interests.  He/she has challenged your professional beliefs, yet, has moved you personally and spiritually.  Most of all, this is the person who speaks more about how to value yourself and to work with love.</p>\n<p>I met this person in New Life Center (a small volunteer group of English teachers) in Nonthaburi, Thailand.  A referral made by an acquaintance became a journey of friendship. He amazed me with his agility, energy, enthusiasm and easy laugh without questioning his age.  I became a tag along person in his art lessons and participated in his private English classes.</p>\n<p>Over several dinners and his simple boiled vegetable dish, I had come to know him.  His varied interest made his life colorful. He was hilarious and challenging, yet victorious.  His experiences sum up his work journey as a teacher, writer, and a witness for Christ, a lover of various forms of arts, humanitarian, great father, and a romantic husband.</p>\n<p>The person I look up to is a great believer of his friends more than an ego-booster.  His motivation for them is life changing.</p>\n<h3>Taking over</h3>\n<p>I remember it was Friday night, over a \"Sawadee\" fish and vinegar dip when he asked me to replace him as a Filipino blogger in Ajarn.com.  He had gone back to the Philippines without me accepting his offer of writing a blog for a popular teaching site.  Yes, I write, but I am happy to write phrases only in my thoughts.  Nevertheless, I feel there is no turning back.  I couldn\'t put down a man who simply believes on what I could do without having a try.</p>\n<p>Change is inevitable. People who come to our lives to make that change meaningful may not know what we could have become but definitely it is worth trying for.

Even though I drove a car back in England, I had no interest whatsoever in what went on &lsquo;under the bonnet\'. I knew where the oil and water went and I was even known to fill the tyres with air from time to time, but everything else remained a complete mystery.</p>\n<p>On those unwelcome occasions when my car wouldn\'t start and I would need to call out a man in blue overalls, we would both stand gazing at the car with thoughtful expressions before eventually the mechanic would say something like \"It looks as if your sparkplugs are fouling up\"</p>\n<p>There would then follow an awkward silence before I\'d reply with something stupid such as \"and where are the sparkplugs again?\" or \"what do sparkplugs do?\"</p>\n<p>I feel exactly the same way about computers.</p>\n<p>I love using computers. I couldn\'t live without one. But I neither know nor care about what the processor does. I am clueless about how much RAM I need or what it even stands for. And I would rather wallpaper the entire living room than have to partition a hard drive.</p>\n<p>So needing to buy a brand new desktop pc - as I did a couple of weeks ago - is always going to be a tough gig.  First off, I made the fatal mistake of asking around for advice. Fatal because the more computer geeks you ask, the deeper your confusion becomes. Everyone seems to have a biased opinion on what and what not to buy.</p>\n<h3>Keeping it simple</h3>\n<p>Fortunately, I have a wonderful friend in England who has not only been building computers from scratch since he was in short trousers but when it comes to talking about computer specs, he has a very rare ability. He talks to me like I\'m a seven-year old. And that\'s EXACTLY what I want.</p>\n<p>My friend, knowing full well what I need to use a computer for, gave me a list of the specs I should be looking for in a desktop model. I jotted those specs down on a scrap of paper and come Saturday morning, made a beeline for my local IT mall. Knowledge is power!</p>\n<h3>A fruitless task</h3>\n<p>I had a budget of between 40,000 and 50,000 baht - enough money to buy a &lsquo;very nice desktop pc\' according to my friend. Alas, within half an hour of looking around various stores, I realized this was going to be no easy task.</p>\n<p>Even the likes of computer giants HP and Dell couldn\'t help me. Every model they had on display was half my budget or less - and came with pathetically inadequate specs. In the HP store, I don\'t think the shop assistant had ever seen a machine over 40K baht.</p>\n<p>\"You\'ll need to order online from the website\" he said.</p>\n<p>\"How long will delivery usually take?\" I enquired.</p>\n<p>\"I don\'t know\" he said.</p>\n<p>Do you have an online catalogue I can order from?</p>\n<p>\"No\"</p>\n<p>I was getting nowhere. The shop assistant filled me with zero confidence. I made for the exit and left him to carry on flirting with the Saturday girl.</p>\n<p>I returned home sans computer and a great big empty space on my work desk. I would have to buy a new computer online....from someone. But who?</p>\n<h3>Hua Hin of all places</h3>\n<p>I went on several of the main computer company websites in Thailand and I went around in circles. Not only was the choice of models over 40K disappointingly small but if I saw the words &lsquo;not in stock\' one more time, there was no telling what I would do. Then the name of a computer supplier popped up out of the blue - Invade IT, a small foreign-run company operating out of Hua Hin.</p>\n<p>This is ridiculous I thought. Here I am in the big bad city, surrounded by the largest IT malls in the country, and I\'m thinking about ordering a computer from a company located in a beach resort three hours south.</p>\n<p>Then I started to research Invade IT a little further. Then I started to get feedback on social media. \"A great company - you won\'t be disappointed\", \"customer service is second to none\" were just two comments I got. It was obvious that Invade IT had quite a fan club. Suddenly, ordering a computer from a company 200 kilometres away made perfect sense.</p>\n<h3>5-star customer service</h3>\n<p>If there is just one reason to write this blog, then it\'s to sing the praises of Invade IT\'s customer service. In a country where customer service generally falls somewhere between &lsquo;hopeless\' and &lsquo;abysmal\' Invade IT and owner Thomas in Hua Hin were simply a joy to do business with.</p>\n<p>I quickly found a computer on their website that suited my needs and fell within my budget. Oh what a joy to find a retail website in Thailand where products are all well laid out and the search function actually comes up with results. Oh what a joy to peruse a retail website that\'s in 100% English and be able to avoid the frustrations of clicking on a British flag icon to find 90% of the text remains in Thai or simply doesn\'t change at all (and we\'ve all been there haven\'t we?)</p>\n<p>Within seconds of ordering, I got an e-mail to say that payment had been received, my computer was in stock and it would be sent within 24 hours. A second e-mail arrived to inform me how I could track that order. The following day I got a personal e-mail from the owner Thomas apologizing for a slight delay due to the Monday being a public holiday. He gave me his personal phone number in case I felt the urge to call him. And the computer arrived safely at my home in Samut Prakarn.</p>\n<p>I was kept up to speed during every step of the process. Basic customer service I hear you say.  Well, if it\'s basic customer service, how come so many companies here - large and small - bloody well suck at it!</p>\n<p>After setting up my spiffy new desktop computer and playing around with it for a while, I sent an e-mail to Thomas. I wanted to thank him for such an amazing customer service experience and I also think it\'s important to let companies like Invade IT know that they are doing a wonderful job.</p>\n<p>Thomas responded immediately and thanked me for the kind words. He went on to say \"we are very grateful for the support that we receive from the expat community in Thailand. We have a hardcore group of customers and IT buffs who have probably ordered in excess of a hundred items from us over the years.

I\'m far from one to judge; especially in a boring meeting, I\'m the first to try to force myself NOT to \"play\" on Twitter. Thanks, Thailand.</p>\n<h3>\"Incredibly useful\"</h3>\n<p>That being said, I have found two tools that I\'ve found incredibly useful over the last year or so. The first is offered as a free software suite: Google Classroom and its associated Microsoft Office impersonations. I\'m not an IT administrator, but my understanding is that this suit is low-or-no cost in terms of email domains and access to Google apps (<a href=\"https://support.google.com/a/answer/139019?hl=en\">as stated on their website</a>). My current school uses this \"Google Suite for Education,\" and while I\'m not the world\'s biggest fan of Google rip-offs of MS Office, I fully stand behind Google\'s strategy: make it free, and \"hook\" people from a young age.</p>\n<p>If you think about it, that\'s exactly where Microsoft\'s Office suite dominance came from (minus the free bit), and although I feel Office is far superior in many ways... it certainly isn\'t free and [currently] available in a mainstream online-class format (although I\'m aware Microsoft is testing this very thing). Case in point: my former school (a Thai government school) has just signed on with Google for Education and sent teachers to a training workshop. How that will play out I\'m not sure (logic: no, we don\'t have internet or computers in most classrooms, but hey, why not), but it\'s certainly getting the Google brand out there.</p>\n<h3>Work simplified</h3>\n<p>Anyway, back to task: Classroom has far simplified my document distribution, grading, and assigning for all classes. Whereas in the past I would use paper-based... well, everything, now I simply upload documents to share as PDFs or other documents (in my case, MS Word documents), and all students can access them simultaneously in class, and there\'s no such thing as \"I lost that paper\" anymore. I\'ll agree that there\'s a lot to be said for a hard-copy, and Wi-Fi connectivity issues will always necessitate the good &lsquo;ole fashioned USB flash drive from time to time. Still, in my opinion, if for no other reason than school budgets, printed items are going the way of the dinosaur.</p>\n<p>Assignment submissions are done this way now too; using Google Docs (as I\'m a language/literature teacher), students are able to use \"suggestion mode\" to perform peer reviews, and I can do the same when marking their final drafts. Once students (and perhaps their teacher) get over the learning curve, everything is automatically tracked, saved, and stored (unlimited!).</p>\n<p>It has FAR simplified my grading process in terms of keeping up with assignments due, marking, and not losing papers (don\'t judge), but I will grant that I\'m at a school with a \"laptop/tablet is required\" policy and Wi-Fi in all rooms. Still, I can see this being useful even at my former school, considering most students have access to this in some fashion too, although you then couldn\'t force all of your submissions to be digital as a rule-it\'s in my syllabus!</p>\n<h3>Hybrid PC</h3>\n<p>Software aside, another tool I\'ve found to be ridiculously useful is my newest \"hybrid\" PC: the Microsoft Surface (nee iPad Pro for Apple fans). I bought a Surface Pro 4 for myself last year (I\'ll grant that it ain\'t cheap...), and it has totally changed the way I teach. Because I don\'t have access to a \"smart board\" (interactive white board), and the transparency projector of my day and time has long disappeared, it has previously been quite difficult to do class annotations of texts, standardized test prep, and other activities with the class writing as a whole; granted, a good teacher can do without this option, but I\'ve found that up to half of my students are visual learners, and simply won\'t remember if they don\'t see it for themselves. For that matter, I\'m one of them.</p>\n<p>With this type of tablet (note I\'m not specifically loving on the Surface here; it\'s the highly precise stylus support that\'s winning) paired with a classroom computer projector, my students can lead class discussions (as can I) with everyone taking notes in real-time. If my school will ever upgrade to projectors that support Wi-Di or other wireless video streaming, we\'d even be able to do this without cords!</p>\n<h3>Cutting down the paperwork</h3>\n<p>Furthermore, as a teacher that does a LOT of marking of writing, I now can mark everything digitally via submitted Google/Word docs and/or PDFs. Gone are the days of me lugging home stacks and stacks of papers... to which I say good riddance! As long as I have the tablet and internet access (although I frequently just download the whole class\'s submissions as PDFs and edit locally), I have student/work access. Whether or not that\'s a particular GOOD thing is a whole different discussion.</p>\n<p>Still, if you\'re a teacher of language (or math) especially, I can\'t understate the change in teaching/marking methodology you\'ll experience if you invest in something like the Surface or the iPad Pro (which I didn\'t choose simply because I wanted a full OS rather than just iOS).</p>\n<p>Through my years of being both a student and a teacher, I\'ve seen several trends come and go... remote-controlled quiz systems (remember those?), the \"SMART\" board (tied to specific software and a single computer, plus required projector/board alignment), and even computers/iPads in every classroom (hellooooo Facebook). To me, though, none of those have held a candle to the combination of the hybrid classroom environment you can create with tools such as Google Classroom and stylus-input devices such as the Surface.</p>\n<p>Three cheers for nerds!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

And not just here, but over much of Asia. Home ownership is rocketing off the charts. Fancy car dealerships are on every street in every major town. People have &lsquo;stuff\' now - even stuff they didn\'t think they needed like big TVs and fancy phones and evenings out at posh restaurants.</p>\n<p>Anyone harbouring ideas about Thailand being &lsquo;third world\' is a fool. It may look like it sometimes because of the climate here, but that\'s as &lsquo;third world\' as it gets. Thailand is busy getting on with it - building roads, creating wealth and rewarding educated Thais with a golden future in industry.</p>\n<p>Whatever your views on Thaksin Shinawatra, he dragged Thailand up by the bootstraps and made it prosperous for businesses and a generous place to do business in.</p>\n<h3>The Yankee Doodle Dandy is angry.</h3>\n<p>But who really made all of this possible? Who paid for all these cars and houses and TVs? Who financed these monstrously luxurious shopping malls that are being built at the same alarming rate as a new neighbourhood Family Mart?</p>\n<p>The Americans did. Or more specifically, the working class Americans did. The impact of corporate-driven &lsquo;globalization\' has made Thailand a whole lot richer. Yes - &lsquo;globalization\' is another word for &lsquo;cheap labour.\'</p>\n<p>And here we are today... 2017 - the year of the rebirth of American nationalism and protectionism. And what may take the Trump administration eight years (two terms) to get going will last for generations because Americans will love getting those jobs back and won\'t vote for another Democratic president for decades... or until they take their economic security for granted .. again!</p>\n<h3>Industrial disease</h3>\n<p>In South East Asia, only the Philippines will suffer more than Thailand. GDP (gross domestic product) will fall, inflation will rise, Thai government policies that react to these events will cause a lack of confidence in investment.</p>\n<p>If you think that Trump was all bluster with his foreign trade threats then think again. His banner proclaimed &lsquo;America First\', riding his horse into the White House and industrial Thailand will be among one of the hardest hit casualties.</p>\n<p>In my view, businesses hoping to export their jobs out of North America are going to be subject to crippling economic blackmail not to do it. Those already harbouring the hundreds of thousands of Asian (and Mexican) wage earners will find important contracts impossible to come by. They will be penalised in every way possible until they finally capitulate and bring manufacturing jobs back to American soil.</p>\n<p>If you think that the president doesn\'t have the legal power or the political mandate then you\'re fooling yourself. Not everything goes through the books when it comes to trade deals with foreign governments. And actually, under U.S. law, Trump can impose 15 percent tariffs for 150 days without prior Congressional approval in cases where it has a &lsquo;large and serious\' balance of payments deficit with another nation, such as... er, Thailand.</p>\n<p>More seriously, if China keeps screwing around with currency manipulation then the entire Asian continent will be made to pay. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal may be kept alive to blackmail China into playing nice - we\'ll have to wait and see.</p>\n<p>South Korea is already on Trump\'s radar and that isn\'t a place you want to be. I personally think that India and Brazil will benefit from a Trump world, but that\'s another article.</p>\n<h3>Back to Thailand!</h3>\n<p>In the next few years, Thailand will turn back into an isolationist nation of their own and full employment will once again only be possible because of the agricultural sector. You thought that Thailand was isolationist now? Well, it is - but only culturally. When entire industrial estates turn into ghost towns and the trickle down effects of all those closures turn those towns into &lsquo;Detroits\', all the luxuries that Thais have gotten used to, over the last twenty years, are going to be harder to pay for.</p>\n<p>That Thai &lsquo;middle class\' which has boosted the school roll calls will slip away. The government will cut down the (currently massive) spending on education. Teachers won\'t get paid and their numbers will diminish. Public interest in education will wane and the foreigners won\'t be needed. Neglect and indifference will result in the remaining hardcore army of stubborn expats to be governed by rogue agencies and terrible working conditions. (Yes, much worse than they are now!)</p>\n<p>Realistically, in ten years time, I\'m guessing that half of the people who are here teaching English now, will be gone. There won\'t be the funding to keep them at public schools and parents will baulk at the idea of paying for them at private institutions.</p>\n<p>The age of &lsquo;globalization\' is being voted out of Europe and America and its expulsion from the Western world will cripple the Eastern one. So, as I said at the start of this article...</p>\n<p>\"Whether you like it or not, the election of Donald Trump will affect expats teaching in Thailand a lot.

Here\'s what I personally spend and allow for when I journey back to England\'s green and pleasant land - both alone and with my Thai partner. How much does your trip home cost <em>you</em>? &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>A creature of habit</h3>\n<p>I go back to England every year for a couple of weeks - in late September / early October. It\'s just a habit I\'ve gotten into. I avoid the main summer months largely because I used to suffer from bad hay fever in my youth. I\'ve often contemplated the idea of going back for Christmas and New Year but seriously, who wants to land and immediately start worrying about Christmas shopping? Plus the weather is too cold to go cycling, sit outside country pubs and do all the other things I enjoy doing when I\'m home. Early Autumn always seems like the perfect time for a visit.</p>\n<p>For a 15-16 day visit, without my wife and just me to take care of, I try and keep the total cost of the trip to between 100,000 and 120,000 baht (I\'ll keep the figures in Thai baht seeing as that\'s the currency we\'re all familiar with). This year I was delighted to do the whole trip for about 90,000.</p>\n<h3>Your flight</h3>\n<p>Usually, your return flight will be the biggest expense. The days of me scratching around for the cheapest flight possible have long gone. I remember one year travelling home with Singapore Airlines. I flew the two hours from Bangkok to Singapore and then had a five-hour layover at Changi Airport. It dawned on me that seven hours into the journey, I was geographically further away from England then when I started. Singapore Airlines is a fine airline but I no longer put up with that sort of nonsense. And did I really once pay just 17,000 baht to travel with Bangladesh Biman?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This year I gave Taiwan\'s EVA Air and their premium economy class a try. It\'s not business class, nowhere near in fact, but it is very comfortable. I ended up paying around 42,000 baht for the return ticket. Yes, I know you can get a Bangkok to England flight probably a lot cheaper but comfort\'s the name of the game for this kiddy.</p>\n<p>Because EVA Air doesn\'t fly to Birmingham, I chose to end the journey at Amsterdam and take a KLM City Hopper from there. Unfortunately this meant staying one night at an airport hotel on the outbound leg. Cost of KLM flight another 5,000 baht and the hotel was just shy of 8,000. So total travel costs came to <strong>55,000 baht.</strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Your accommodation</h3>\n<p>Accommodation costs nothing - and that\'s always a huge plus. Whether I\'m kipping in the spare bedroom at my brother\'s place on the outskirts of Birmingham or bedding down on a blow-up mattress on my parent\'s living room floor, accommodation is a big fat zero.</p>\n<p>I never budget for a daily spending allowance. I tend to do whatever I fancy within reason. I like to take my nieces and nephews around a toy shop (they always look forward to Uncle Phil coming home) I enjoy treating family and friends to a pub lunch and a round of drinks and I\'ll always try to take in a couple of football matches. I guess we\'re nearly all the same in that respect. No one wants the shame of being back home, poncing off relatives and living out of daddy\'s big pocket. We all like to pay our way and give the impression we can financially stand on our own two feet.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Two \'expenses\'I don\'t have anymore are \'stuff for the wife\' and clothes for me. There\'s a 10 - 15,000 baht saving right there.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I used to see being back in the UK as an opportunity to stock up on jeans and items of clothing I found difficult to purchase in Thailand. But the range of clothing has come on in leaps and bounds and I can now get everything I need here. My wife is in the same boat. She used to send me traipsing around branches of Boots and Marks and Spencer\'s with great long shopping lists of cosmetics and underwear - which I would present to her as gifts upon my return. Online shopping in Thailand has now become such a thriving industry that my wife can buy everything her heart desires at the click of a mouse.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This year my fifteen days in England cost me about <strong>35,000 baht</strong>. In the region of 2,300 baht a day. However, there would be days when lunch and drinks were on me and I could easily burn through 5-6,000. Then there were other days when we would just walk around a Cotswold village and do a bit of window-shopping. My mum and dad would cook at home in the evening and I would end up spending nothing all day. Swings and roundabouts. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>A double visit</h3>\n<p>Next year, 2017, will be somewhat different. I will make my usual Autumn pilgrimage but I will also take my wife over in April - our \'Songkran escape\' as we like to call it. My wife loves England but she hasn\'t been for five years and it\'s been three years since she last saw my mum and dad. We\'re long overdue a visit together and the time feels right. What\'s interesting, or rather a fact of life, is that when I travel to the UK with my wife, the costs almost&nbsp;<em>triple</em>&nbsp;rather than double.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We have come to a simple financial agreement when it comes to our April trips. We each pay for our own flights and we split the accommodation fees right down the middle. I bear the cost of the day to day spending whilst we are there. It\'s a system that works for us and we both consider it fair. Do you guys split costs in roughly the same way?</p>\n<p>I have once again gone with EVA Air\'s premium economy for the return flights but this time we are travelling to London Heathrow for 49,000 baht return. There is no point ending the journey in Amsterdam because it means my wife would then require both a UK visa and a Schengen visa if we fancied mooching around Amsterdam for a few hours. Applying for both visas in Bangkok gets expensive and becomes far too much hassle. None of us can avoid those dreaded visa fees and they can add a nasty 5-10,000 baht to your overall trip.</p>\n<p>We are scheduled to arrive in London at 7.30 in the evening - far too late and much too risky to organize onward travel to Birmingham. So unfortunately, we\'ve no choice but to stay at a hotel close to Heathrow Airport and suck up the 8,000 baht a night price for a double room.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>From London up to Birmingham (well, Cheltenham to be exact) the return coach fare is 6,000 baht for the two of us. So total travel costs come to <strong>112,000 baht -</strong>&nbsp;divided by two that\'s 56,000 baht each.</p>\n<h3>Expensive Stratford</h3>\n<p>With my better half in tow, there is no such thing as a free lunch where lodging is concerned. My parents\' bungalow in Stratford Upon Avon is far too small to accommodate us, so we have needed to find digs - and of course Stratford Upon Avon needs no introduction. The birthplace of William Shakespeare, it\'s one of the most visited places outside London - with accommodation prices to match. Hotels and guest houses go for silly money. Even the most basic bed and breakfast, where you\'ll end up with the last double room directly under a sloping attic roof, goes for 4,000 baht a night. Proper hotels border on unaffordable, especially at weekends.</p>\n<p>So we have turned to the Air BnB website and booked a double room in a private house with an en-suite bathroom and just five minutes walk from Stratford town centre. We got this for 2,900 baht a night. A bargain in this town! So 12 nights comes to just shy of <strong>35,000 baht. </strong>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So we\'re up to 147,000 baht and not even considered spending money.</p>\n<p>As I\'m sure those of you who have done both will agree, there\'s a big difference between going home alone and taking a Thai partner. The latter becomes more of a \'holiday\'. It\'s only natural that you will want to \'show off\' your neighborhood, city or town. You do fun things together. Walks in the local park are free but there are always admission fees to museums, exhibitions, stately homes, art galleries, etc.</p>\n<p>I recall a long weekend in Barcelona where half of our spending money seemed to go on just paying admission fees. England isn\'t far behind either because you can haemorrhage money killing time this way. Have you seen how much they charge to go into your average National Trust property these days? &nbsp;</p>\n<p>Although I never spend lavishly on meals when I\'m abroad, I do think that food should be part of the experience. What\'s the point of travel if a tight budget doesn\'t allow for cream teas or a hearty pub lunch? I\'ve read numerous travel blogs from those who take delight in pilfering sachets of tomato ketchup from McDonalds and squirting them onto a pack of dry cream crackers, because it\'s all they can afford. That doesn\'t make sense to me. How does that qualify as the joys of travel? &nbsp;</p>\n<p>So spending money for two, when you\'re eating well, taking buses and trains around the country, and paying into tourist attractions, can easily run you 5,000 baht a day. That\'s a whopping <strong>60,000 baht</strong> for a 12-day stay.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Easy to see how a trip back to England with your Thai partner can amount to <strong>200,000</strong> baht or more.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>How much do <em>your</em> trips home cost? All I can say is may those trips be enjoyable and hopefully, you can keep the costs down.</p>','','2016-11-22 02:02:15',1,'2016-11-22 02:02:15','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31546,74,'The all new 10-year retirement visa','the-all-new-10-year-retirement-visa','Who is it aimed at exactly?','A buzz of excitement went through the Thailand expat community last week, when it was announced the Thai government planned to offer ten year visas to those over the official Thai retirement age of 50.

That buzz of excitement was shortlived however once any street savvy expat decided to delve into the figures and requirements in more detail.</p>\n<p>Eventually one was left wondering exactly who this offer appeals to.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Benefits?</h3>\n<p>First off, what are the benefits of having this long-stay visa to the retired expat? Well, apart from saving yourself nine annual trips to your local immigration office over a ten-year period, there aren\'t any. Not that I can see.</p>\n<p>There is no complimentary immigration fast track at Bangkok Airport. There are no discounts on rounds of golf or free spa treatments. You are purely saving yourself nine trips to immigration. Actually, several articles have stated that the proposal is for \'five years plus five years\' rather than ten years straight - so reading between the lines, you will need to re-apply for this visa in year six as well. Therefore, you\'re saving eight visits to immigration and not nine.</p>\n<p>Retirees on the long-stay visa will <em>still </em>have to do the 90-day reporting. Nothing has changed there.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Opportunity cost</h3>\n<p>Let\'s take a look at what you need to have in order to qualify. You need a monthly income of at least 100,000 baht or a minimum of three million baht deposited in a Thai bank account. That three million baht - and here\'s the rub - must remain in your account for at least 12 months after the initial application.</p>\n<p>Now I\'m no financial investment whizzkid or economist, but three million baht sitting in a Thai bank - making virtually nothing in interest - must surely have an \'opportunity cost\'. Even in a world of shocking investment possibilities, there must be something relatively low risk out there that\'s going to yield a 4-5% return in one year. So even at 4% interest, that three million has an opportunity cost of 120,000 baht.</p>\n<p>120,000 baht sounds like an awful lot of potential money to \'lose\' just to save yourself eight trips to immigration. This year, when I did my 12-month renewal based on retirement, I was in and out of the office in 45 minutes. Job done! And the paperwork really wasn\'t that much of a hassle either. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Let\'s dispel a couple of myths.</h3>\n<p>This has been hailed as a scheme that will appeal to \'affluent expats of retirement age\'. Three million baht? It\'s about a 100,000 dollars or 70,000 pounds. As one expat on Twitter succinctly put it - \"I would be shitting myself if I reached retirement age and didn\'t have that sort of money behind me\"</p>\n<p>Secondly, and despite what you may have read on expat discussion forums full of worryworts, no one has officially come out and said that this proposed 10-year visa will replace the existing retirement visa system where you turn up at immigration once a year and show evidence of a bank account with at least 800,000 baht in it. Anything along those lines is purely idle and misinformed speculation at this stage.</p>\n<h3>Who needs out-patient cover?</h3>\n<p>A second requirement is health insurance and this is where the long-stay visa gets even less appealing (if that were possible). According to the Bangkok Post article, applicants must have health insurance coverage for at least US$1,000 for outpatient care and US$10,000 or more for inpatient care per policy per year.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Now whilst everyone should obviously have adequate health insurance coverage, many don\'t consider the substantial increase in the cost of an annual premium to be worthwhile to include out-patient visits. Out-patient treatment in Thailand is cheap. Out-patient visits are for coughs and colds, clicks in your elbow and peculiar skin rashes. You buy health insurance to protect you against the nasty stuff - the motorbike accidents and the sudden illnesses that are going to see you in a hospital bed for days on end.</p>\n<p>Therefore, we have the opportunity cost I mentioned earlier - the result of having three million baht of dead money in the bank - and then the increased cost of a health insurance premium that you probably don\'t need.</p>\n<p>I am genuinely struggling to see who this ten-year visa appeals to. What have I missed? Could someone enlighten me?&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Stop press</h3>\n<p>The excellent Khao Sod website has just put <a href=\"http://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/business/2016/11/24/details-10-year-visas-meet-mixed-reactions/\">this article online</a> and you could say the plot thickens. I quote:&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>Applicants must not only leave 3 million baht untouched for one year in a time deposit, but they cannot withdraw more than 50 percent, which they must show proof was spent in Thailand for such as medical, property, tuition or similar expenses, according to the resolution. Want to renew it five years later? Visa holders must again show 3 million baht in the bank or an income of at least 100,000 baht per month.</em></p>\n<p>Let\'s revisit our opportunity cost again. So at least 1,500,000 baht must be maintained at all times. Over 10 years and weighing that money up against a modest 4% return elsewhere, the opportunity cost becomes 600,000 baht. Oh wait! I haven\'t factored in compound interest. 4% a year for 10 years. Make that 720,000!&nbsp;</p>','','2016-11-23 21:03:20',1,'2016-11-23 21:03:20','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31555,10,'Expat TV revisited','expat-tv-revisited','I didn\'t realise how much I had missed British TV','I decided to revisit Thai Expat TV, an on-line UK TV system that has been available in Thailand for quite a number of years now.

Most of those extra channels (when compared to the standard package) are Sky Movie channels, so the premium package might appeal to the avid movie watcher but not something I was personally interested in.</p>\n<p>So how has the system improved since I first trialled it several years ago?</p>\n<p>Firstly, the quality is superb. I\'ve been watching the programs using an HDMI cable from my laptop to the TV and apart from the very odd split-second freeze, I\'ve had no issues at all. <a href=\"https://member.thaiexpat.tv/aff.php?aff=23\">Expat TV</a> has an in-built buffering system so provided your wi-fi signal is good enough (and almost everyone\'s will be nowadays) you\'ll experience no problems with the picture suddenly stopping.</p>\n<p>I\'ve quickly realised though that piping programs through the TV via a HDMI &nbsp;cable is a cack-handed way of doing things so I have ordered an Android set-top box from Thai Expat TV and that will make viewing simpler and more convenient. The set-top box looks very easy to set up and there is even a helpful video on the Thai expat website with a step-by-step installation guide.</p>\n<p>The best thing about the <a href=\"https://member.thaiexpat.tv/aff.php?aff=23\">Thai Expat system</a> these days though, compared to when it was launched, is that you now have NINE days of TV on demand. Not only that but if you need even more than 9 days, you can download any program to your computer and watch it at your leisure any time in the future. You\'re not going to miss a thing.</p>\n<p>I settled in last night and watched the first of a new three part BBC drama series, a couple of quiz shows and an episode of David Attenborough\'s Planet Earth 2. All in top quality HD and all shown on British TV over the last week. I\'ve suddenly become a couch potato again!</p>\n<p>Why not test it out for yourself with a <a href=\"https://member.thaiexpat.tv/aff.php?aff=23\">no-strings attached 2-day free trial</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/expat2.jpg\" /></p>','','2016-12-01 00:02:21',0,'2016-12-01 00:02:21','2017-05-16 14:02:22'),(31572,85,'Stay away from the top knot','stay-away-from-the-top-knot','When a young teacher fears students have lost his respect','As Ajarn.com is in the business of providing advice to ESL teachers, I have a new warning when it comes to hair choices.

Besides, how do you actually improve someone\'s pronunciation anyway!?</p>\n<h3>\'Dreaded\'</h3>\n<p>Take the dreaded \'th\' phoneme, for example. This has students all around the world sighing with despair. And teachers too. We tell students to stick their tongues out of their mouths, but this just seems to embarrass them.</p>\n<p>The problem is that this little sound is much more than simply sticking your tongue between your teeth and blowing a lot of hot air. The \'th\' is actually not one sound, but two: there is an unvoiced version (&theta;), which involves only sound rushing between the tongue and teeth (as in \'think\'), and a voiced version (&eth;), which requires the addition of a sort of humming in the voice box (like the one in \'those\').</p>\n<p>Which gets used when? Well, interestingly, there are some patterns: the unvoiced \'th\' is common in content words (which are words that carry meaning, like \'thank\', \'thrombosis\', and \'thimble\'), while the voiced version is more common in function words (which serve a grammatical purpose, like \'the\', \'this\' and \'then\'). Also, a \'th\' just before \'er\', like in \'another\' and \'father\', is generally voiced. If this interests you, have a look at <a href=\"https://pronunciationstudio.com/th-tooth-sounds/\">this cool blog</a> about all this \'th\' stuff.</p>\n<p>But is the learning of rules like these helpful for our students, or is it just additional complication that isn\'t worth the effort, especially considering that some English speakers don\'t bother with this phoneme at all - as with Irish English, and Cockney too! And anyway, if the students master this phoneme, will it really improve their pronunciation? Does imperfect pronunciation of \'th\' really interfere in communicative comprehensibility? Shouldn\'t valuable classroom time be allocated to more pressing issues?</p>\n<h3>Student opinion</h3>\n<p>In answer to questions like these, I\'d like to quote a student of mine, who wrote on this topic:</p>\n<p><em>I feel the need to be accurate both in spoken and written language. If I myself cannot speak with 	clear and right pronunciation, how can I do well?</em></p>\n<p>This sentiment is quite common with students who are given the chance to express their opinion on the subject.</p>\n<p>Another student told me it is \'unfair\' when a teacher doesn\'t focus on pronunciation, and that these are \'lazy\' teachers who don\'t do their duties in promoting good pronunciation. Perhaps for students who are putting in the time and effort needed to learn English, mastering pronunciation as far as is possible matters a lot. Are these students anomalies, or are they representative of students\' opinion in general? I don\'t know - but perhaps it\'s worth finding out.</p>\n<p><strong>If you do decide to teach pronunciation, there are lots of issues to consider: </strong></p>\n<p>What accent - Texan? Geordie? Kiwi?</p>\n<p>As a South African, am I qualified to teach pronunciation? (real question!)</p>\n<p>How \'good\' should we aim to have the students\' pronunciation of the language? Is there such a thing as \'good enough\' pronunciation?</p>\n<p>How exactly do you teach pronunciation - is there a way? Should we focus on microphonological issues like the teaching of individual phonemes; or macro issues like intonation and rhythm? In which order?</p>\n<p>Should we ignore those sounds that the students simply can\'t manage (like the \'r\' and \'l\' headache). This is a thorny issue: as an exercise in empathy, consider the problems Americans learning Cambodian have with the awful \'jrl\' cluster, or the subtle difference between the Thai words for \'bee\' and \'just\' which some non-Thai ears simply can\'t seem to hear, or perhaps the abominable difficulty in hearing the difference between the second and third tones in Mandarin.</p>\n<p>How much should we bow before the demigod of embarrassment that inevitably comes from students\' failure to hear or produce specific sounds?</p>\n<p>And finally, when should we teach pronunciation - in a specific lesson all on its own, or just whenever it comes up? Or perhaps all the time?</p>\n<h3>Or never.</h3>\n<p>If you don\'t already have some beliefs about teaching pronunciation in the classroom, these are questions that are worth some attention. Perhaps let me introduce you to the guru of pronunciation in the English language classroom, Adrian Underhill, who has written extensively on all of these issues. If you have time, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kAPHyHd7Lo\">watch this video</a> or others like it by Underhill on how to teach pronunciation. Or even better, read one of his books.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, we need to remember that one of the reasons native English speakers are valued as teachers in Thailand (and elsewhere) is this question of pronunciation - so ignoring it in your classroom may amount to a dereliction of duty.

He feels that the teacher placement agency might be in danger of losing the contract but he is \'legally bound\' not to work directly for the school. John sees his long-term future in Thailand but doesn\'t want to continue with all this uncertainty. What would you do in his situation?','<p>So, working a number of years at my school via a teaching agency. I\'m quite happy at the school as the staff and students are great, it\'s a nice working environment, and I don\'t have to endure any of the usual laments, thankfully.</p>\n<p>To put it simply I  have found myself in a great job, at a great school with plenty of perks to boot and I\'d be happy to stay there for a few more years (I\'m working towards obtaining a Thai teaching license at the moment and that goal is not too far off either).</p>\n<h3>Agency issues</h3>\n<p>What\'s the problem then you may ask? In a nutshell - the agency. The school are quite professional and organised therefore any issues with the agency frustrates and unsettles them. As we all know, agency agenda is financial gain only, most if not all other things are second to that.</p>\n<p>In fairness they have a lot of idiots that consider themselves teacher-worthy to deal with and I\'m sure they have their own variation of nonsense to endure, but that doesn\'t make life any easier for the minority of us long-termers that are professional in approach, do a good job, and fulfil what the school requires of us.  We\'re all just thrown in together and basically treated as disposable accessories. The effort of the collective always overshadows the individual, and if the majority are underperforming all suffer any negative impact.</p>\n<p>The welfare of someone thousands of miles from home, with limited financial assets, an extremely weak local network (the ESL brotherhood is often one of cold, self-serving, and tenuous ties...), and almost zero legal rights appears to be non-existent. Our lot in life is that of a Maccy D\'s ketchup sachet at 2am on a bank holiday weekend.</p>\n<h3>Things will get worse</h3>\n<p>Recently, there\'s been a high-turnover of staff at my school due to people leaving and all of the replacements have been sub-standard to date and barely lasted a wet week. It seems like the agency is either throwing the first person that comes to hand at the position, or there just aren\'t any eligible \'teachers\' floating around at the moment, it may even be a bit of both. To add to this, rumours abound of a number of other long-term staff moving on at end of contract too which will further aggravate instability and uncertainty. It seems that things are only going to get worse and not better...</p>\n<p>Now for the crux of the issue: From what I\'ve been told, if the school decides not to re-sign for the ensuing academic year (which they had previously intended to do and assured us of this) the agency has embedded in their contract (with the school) that their staff cannot work directly for that school in particular until after a number of years have passed from date of cessation of said contract.</p>\n<h3>Hot air?</h3>\n<p>Is it legally possible for them to stipulate this or just hot air on their part? Surely if teaching staff, agency, and school see out their respective contracts to completion they are then free agents to do as they please, no? How can a contract, once completed in full, dictate what any party can legally do after the contract period has expired? Seems a bit ridiculous in my opinion.</p>\n<p>The school have stated that they intend on continuing with the current setup and relationship for the next couple of years but what troubles me is that I can foresee a possible situation arising where the school may become so annoyed with the agency that they call it a day at the end of this contract term, thus leaving me in quite a pickle.</p>\n<p>What\'s even more annoying is knowing that the school would then replace the current agency with a new one in a cycle that serves only to perpetuate the same problems as opposed to solving them. As we all know, agencies are not privy to elite teacher gene-pools, rather it\'s a case of luck and lottery: who they hire depends on who applies, and most that apply are thinking of sun, fun, frolics, and travel first over pedagogical dedication and professionalism.</p>\n<p>In the defence of the school however, I understand their predicament: the location is off the beaten track to an extent, which pushes the school to rely on external recruiters to fill vacancies.</p>\n<p>I\'m happy in my area, my partner works here, and my life is here too, and I had planned on being here for another couple of years. In the not-too-distant future I\'ll have completed my M.Ed and will eventually hold a 5-year Thai teaching license too. At this point returning to the norm of agency 6-month-frog-hopping-contracts in backwater government schools would be a complete regression. The school have also mentioned that they would be interested in (legally) hiring teachers directly as an option in the future (a genuine interest btw, not the usual BS hyperbolic yarns that are spun around these parts).</p>\n<p>In truth, I have had a good relationship with my agency throughout my tenure with them and have never had any problems or caused them any either. I\'m not sure if that would be enough for them to grant clemency and set me free from any contractual small print however...</p>\n<p><strong>What are your thoughts on this?</strong></p>\n<p>What would you do in my situation? (While there are other job options in my area there aren\'t enough to rely on a definite opening being there if push comes to shove in the future).</p>\n<p>I don\'t fancy the idea of having to move away from my fianc&eacute; either as this is a further step backwards. I also refuse to ask her to sacrifice her job stability and follow me on an agency \'wild goose chase\' job-posting to god know\'s where.</p>\n<p>Do you think its worth talking to the agency in advance to discuss hypothetical scenarios, get a feel for potential outcomes and try and reason with them perhaps? (By this I mean investigating  a possible release to work direct if there was no re-signing of contract between the agency and school).</p>\n<p>Or is this just a kamikaze endeavour and giving them more time and rope to hang me with before any event possibly arises?</p>\n<p>In reality, if such a fate transpires I would have to move on from the agency anyway and attempt to find employment in or near my current location. Either way they would be down a teacher, but would that prompt them to see reason and entertain an amicable parting of ways to allow me to \'go solo\' with my school? That\'s the million dollar question.</p>\n<p>Marrying my partner is also a plan for the near future and adds to the issue at hand. Allowing myself to be relocated in the next agency job-opening lottery is not an option. Yes, I\'m aware that moving on from agency work is a prerequisite to ESL career maturity (if such a thing exists...) but I was hoping my current post would be my last before I attempt to move up the scale to the next level. I have a substantial thesis workload to juggle too, hence my desire for stability for the next while.</p>\n<p>All advice and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Final question: will Thailand ever afford us ESL teachers the dignity of a slither of stability and modicum of respect at some point...?! The musical chairs and snakes n\' ladders rigmarole is getting tiresome...</p>\n<p><strong>John Keating</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/puzzledman.jpg','2016-12-07 19:47:10',1,'2016-12-07 19:47:10','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31607,71,'Getting a taste of the holidays in Bangkok','getting-a-taste-of-the-holidays-in-bangkok','Where to go for that festive taste of home','As an expat in Bangkok, honestly there are very few things you can\'t get \"from home\" these days, but the Christmas season does tend to bring out the wants for those hard-to-find items and typically-Christmas things to do','<p>For the first few years I lived in Thailand, I didn\'t really give the Christmas season much thought; it\'s never been my favourite holiday, but it was always nice to see the family, get a taste of a few seasonal treats, and watch the classic Christmas cartoons of the past. If you\'re stuck in Bangkok for the holiday season, though, there are still a few great spots to get a \"taste of home,\" literally and figuratively, as I hear so many say.</p>\n<p>As an expat in Bangkok, honestly there are very few things you can\'t get \"from home\" these days, but the Christmas season does tend to bring out the wants for those hard-to-find items and typically-Christmas things to do. I\'m lucky that now I have several weeks off around these holidays, but I fully realise there are many that don\'t even get Christmas itself off; for those and newcomers to Bangkok, here\'s a few spots I\'d recommend to get that fuzzy-wuzzy feeling (in between egg nog cocktails):</p>\n<h3>Christmas groceries</h3>\n<p>It\'s hard to beat Villa Market (specifically, the <a href=\"http://bk.asia-city.com/bangkok-venue/villa-market-j-avenue\">Thong Lo branch</a> at J Avenue because not all Villas are created equally) for holiday specialties. They even have egg nog on hand-only one brand, imported from Australia-but it\'s better than nothing!</p>\n<p>For a high price, you can get full-on Christmas hams and turkeys, and they have a surprising array of holiday treats (candies, baked goods, etc.) that one wouldn\'t expect to find in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Alternatives to Villa, holiday-wise, are definitely <a href=\"http://www.gourmetmarketthailand.com/eat-in/Emquartier/?branch_id=13\">Gourmet Market</a> (specifically EmQuartier-far better selection than Terminal 21) and the Central Food Hall (top floor of Central World). It won\'t be cheap, but if you need that nutmeg fix or even imported Christmas stout, it can likely be found!</p>\n<h3>Christmas dinner</h3>\n<p>All of the major Bangkok hotels offer some kind of holiday lunch/dinner special at various points around the holidays; personally, I\'m not willing (or able) to pay the 5-star prices for these buffets and set dinners. However, if you\'re keen, the table booking app <a href=\"http://www.eatigo.com/home/th/th/\">Eatigo</a> (Android/iPhone) can offer some great discounts if you\'re willing to not book a \"standard\" time, and a few other new-on-the-block restaurants (such as the new American-style diner <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g293916-d10692340-Reviews-City_Skyline-Bangkok.html\">City Skyline</a> around Asok) offer affordable set dinners in the coming weeks. I\'d check BK Magazine\'s website, as they tend to advertise places I\'ve never even heard of (albeit usually pricey).</p>\n<h3>Seeing the lights</h3>\n<p>This year\'s holiday festivities are obviously muted for the mourning of the late King, but Central World and the whole <a href=\"http://www.bangkok.com/ratchaprasong/\">Ratchaprasong district</a> (Central Chidlom, Gaysorn, etc.) has put on a spectacular array of decorations this year in memorial. Expect huge crowds every night as the white-and-yellow themed decorations are lit up, but you\'ve got to hand it to Bangkok: it often out-classes even big-player decorators like New York in many regards.</p>\n<p>Aside from the photo ops in the city\'s business district, though, you\'re pretty much limited to the major shopping malls for decorations and lights.</p>\n<p>Thailand is well-known for its celebration of basically any holiday that comes around from any place (marketing ploy or not), and Bangkok certainly knows how to get festive. Even if you don\'t have much time off over the holidays, it\'s well worth a jaunt around town to see what\'s happening before escaping the city for a spell, if for no other reason than to enjoy the quite rare enjoyable temperatures.</p>\n<p><strong>Happy holidays everyone!</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Sigh!</p>\n<p>I was a young and gregarious \'know-it-all\' forty-year-old when I arrived in Thailand and I\'m now in my late fifties. My life has changed enormously since the heady and adventurous days since my arrival - so I thought it would be a good time to look back and compare those exuberant and energetic days to my more sedentary life now...</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #1</h3>\n<p>Professionally my life has gone through an amazing makeover. My formative years in Thailand were spent traveling all over the place on various ugly forms of public transport, seven days a week holding down several jobs and contracts. Schools, companies and private students all took a bite out of my time. I was a workaholic...</p>\n<p>Fast forward to now - I work four days a week (Tuesday to Friday) and I\'m on my way home by 14:30 each day. The frenetic years of investment, scrimping and saving during the first few years paid off.</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #2</h3>\n<p>When I first came to Thailand I immersed my svelte frame into fine, swanky clothes and hit the clubs every chance I got. Those weekend nights were what made the horrible work week days just about manageable. Forty is a good age to attract attention from the dancing Thai angels and every weekend ended in a \'victory!\'</p>\n<p>These days I\'m a \'stay-at-home\' bore. It\'s a little victory if I can stagger into my underwear without toppling over or leaning up against the wardrobe! After the excitement of getting dressed, there\'s something on the telly I\'ll be watching.</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #3</h3>\n<p>Going into Bangkok for a nice Indian curry once a month was a big treat for me a few short years ago. There were other nice eateries that I regularly called into, too... all Western - all expensive! From barbecued ribs to beef nachos, a full belly and a delicious \'victory\' meal was mine!</p>\n<p>These days it\'s beans on toast wolfed down standing up leaning over my microwave oven - and it\'s an accomplishment if I can remove the stubborn skin of a baked bean from my teeth with just my tongue! Although, I usually have to enlist the aid of a toothpick eventually!</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #4</h3>\n<p>It doesn\'t seem that many years ago since my bed linen was a silent yet congratulatory testament to my libido. The \'victories\' were beautiful, plentiful, and looking back, all forgettable, too...</p>\n<p>Nowadays, as that particular wanting inside me has waned, the biggest victory in my bed is successfully throwing an apple core into the waste paper bin in the corner of the room. My scoring average is pretty bad, though, and more often than not I have to lever myself out of bed and pick the core up off the floor and deliver it to the bin from much closer range!</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #5</h3>\n<p>In the first few years of my life in Thailand, I went to beaches, waterfalls, parks, resorts, mountains, temples and markets - both river and land types! My victories in exploration and adventure were too numerous to mention and I\'ve forgotten more travels around Thailand than most people will ever have.</p>\n<p>Moving forward to 2017 and I\'ll be found trudging the aisles of a Big C, looking for marked down fruit juice, stocking up with spaghetti sauce and cursing the inflated price of deodorant!</p>\n<h3>Little Victories - Then and now #6</h3>\n<p>Finally, as I age, I\'m spending more time sitting on the toilet. Which means I can play my favorite game of enjoying a poo and seeing how many times I can swing the bathroom door up towards the magnetic stop in the wall and have it stick there. If I swing the door too hard it bounces off the stop. If I don\'t swing the door hard enough it won\'t quite reach and the door falls shut again.</p>\n<p>Once I managed to get the swing just right on the very first go. What a brilliant victory poo that was. Usually though, it takes loads of tries. It\'s harder than it sounds!</p>\n<p>Well, as you can see, my life is still pretty interesting and full of adventure - albeit in different ways!</p>\n<p>Anyway - a Happy Christmas to all.

Out of the blue, he stood up, paused, looked sideways and asked \"Do you know Boeing 797\'s new twin engines?\" Everything halted for a while, and then silence turned into whisper and suppressed giggles.</p>\n<p>A teacher was simply asking the class to give an example of a noun. He was 8 years old, smart, inquisitive, with Autism, and ADHD.  He was preoccupied, if not obsessed, about airplanes, cars, and anything that worked in a circling motion.  But just like any boy, he loved to play, showed creativity, adored animals, and loved music. He was funny, clumsy, inattentive, and most of the time did things differently. Among the crowd, one would always notice he\'s the odd one out.</p>\n<h3>\'Karma\'</h3>\n<p>In a typical classroom in Thailand, 1 or 2 students have special needs due to Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, and other forms of disorders.  Such cases are religiously and socially perceived as karma of one\'s unfortunate past life.</p>\n<p>Once, it was considered as a mental illness.  However, a curious mind, obsession, meltdowns, attention lapses, poor self-help skills, hyperactivity, and other behavioral characteristics constitute various challenges for teachers, parents, school administrators and the child.  The lack or improper socio-educational support poses more risks than intervention.</p>\n<p>Dr. Amar Singh, a special needs inclusion advocate, emphasizes acceptance as the first and foremost important thing in a child\'s life.  Just like anyone else, the child possesses the faculty of human emotions and any right that each may child enjoy.</p>\n<p>A child with special needs has the ability to feel belongingness, compassion, safety, and capable of trusting those who convey these feelings.   Most of all, they have the capacity to return the same, sometimes in odd, but not very odd ways. These children could excel, overcome and succeed small and big challenges if given the right attitude and support to their needs. May it be from home, peers, and school.</p>\n<h3>\'Awareness\'</h3>\n<p>Although the Thai government provides funds and assistance for education of children with special needs, there is still a wide and tremendous effort in advocating the needs especially in training teachers.   Group advocates, local TV programs, and public activities have brought so much awareness and public education.  It is the heartfelt desire among the community of these kids and their families for these children to feel recognition, respect, and acceptance as part of a bigger society.</p>\n<p>Here are some <strong>organizations in Thailand</strong> that do consultation, conduct trainings, hold seminars, and sponsor awareness programs:</p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/specialrainbow/\">The Rainbow Room Foundation</a>, 11/13 Thonglor 25, 9:30am-5:00pm Tue-Sat Tel. 02-0232396</p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"http://www.carethaiautism.com/\">Care Thai Autism</a></p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"http://www.paidi-th.com\">PAIDI Institute</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Odd it may seem, but don\'t we all have oddities?

But perhaps the reality is that there is no such thing as a good teacher. Or, if you are a glass-half-full sort, every teacher is good (in their own little way).','<p>In my role as teacher trainer, I get to meet a lot of interesting school-y sort of people: teachers, managers, a DoS or two, and the like. As might be expected, a lot of the conversations I get involved in are about teachers and teaching, and as these conversations develop, almost invariably the all-encompassing descriptor \'good\' appears.</p>\n<p>Let me give you a quick example of how a conversation might go. My phone rings, it\'s a strange number.</p>\n<p>\"Hello?\" I answer, distractedly.<br /> \"Aj. Steve, it\'s Khun Yai from Wat Awandaphul School.\"<br />To which, despite my deplorable memory, I reply:<br /> \"Oh yes, great to hear from you, Khun...er Yai. I hope everything is fine.\" I am the perfect gentleman, am I not?<br /> \"Fine Ajarn Steve. We need a good teacher. Do you have?\"</p>\n<p>If this were an Austin Powers movie, at this point there would be a loud zing from the violins, and a dramatic camera zoom into the depths of my eyeballs. I would look confused and bewildered and maybe bite a fingernail. Let\'s pause the conversation here, and see what it is that is causing all the drama. It\'s that word \'good\'. What exactly is a \'good\' teacher? How would I know a \'good\' teacher if I saw one? Whose criteria should be used for judging this \'good\'-ness?</p>\n<p>To investigate this tricky (and serious) question, we will delve into the murky depths of (this fictitious) Wat Awandaphul School, and explore some opinions about teacher \'good\'-ness. For the purposes of illustrating my point, allow me to indulge in some stereotyping: for which I apologize in advance.</p>\n<h3>A question of good</h3>\n<p>First, let\'s visit P5. Here\'s Pop. He\'s 11 or so. He likes hanging out with his friends and is not too keen on nerdy explorations of foreign languages. If we were to ask him about a good English teacher, he\'d talk about Teacher Andy. Pop really likes him. Teacher Andy is never serious; he likes to have fun and play games in class, or just chat, and he never gets angry. In fact, he doesn\'t even mind if Pop chats to his friends during the lesson or does his maths homework.</p>\n<p>Perhaps Teacher Andy doesn\'t notice - Pop can\'t be too sure. Teacher Andy also doesn\'t give homework; and even if he does, he doesn\'t check it anyway. Everyone got high scores in Teacher Andy\'s class. Pop thinks he is definitely the best teacher ever.</p>\n<p>Pop has a brother, Poom, who is one year ahead of Pop and wants to be a doctor when he grows up. Poom used to study with Teacher Andy, but didn\'t like him. To Poom, Teacher Bee is a good teacher. Teacher Bee is so interesting! She always brings things into class to show everyone, and seems to know so much about everything. Her lessons are inspiring.</p>\n<p>In one class, Ms. Bee told them about British food, and brought some for everyone to try. It wasn\'t delicious, but it was fun. Poom never feels sleepy in Ms. Bee\'s lessons. She likes everyone to walk around during class and talk to each other, and doesn\'t even care if the students can\'t say the things in English correctly.</p>\n<p>Once Ms. Bee had a worksheet about the soi in front of the school, and everyone had to go and find things there. That time, Ms. Bee had an argument with Kr. Oil about why we were all leaving the school. Even if Kr. Oil doesn\'t like Ms. Bee, Poom thinks she is a good teacher!</p>\n<p>Oil is Pop\'s homeroom teacher. Oil doesn\'t think Mr. Andy is a good teacher - he is absent a lot and never marks his books. Ms. Bee isn\'t very good either; she always has trouble managing the class and has to call someone to discipline the students because they aren\'t listening or doing their work. The parents have also complained about Ms. Bee because the students never do the work in their books. She wishes she could work with Teacher Ced. He always manages the students very well. The students are always well behaved and quiet, and he always finishes all the work before the exam. Teacher Ced likes to teach alone, and never asks for help. When he\'s teaching, Oil can have some time off! Teacher Ced\'s a real teacher!</p>\n<p>The head of the department is Noi. Noi has had a lot of problems with Teacher Ced. The students are always complaining about him, and he once even hit Somchai (or so the students say). Oil always leaves the classroom during his lessons, so he was alone at the time and it\'s not clear what actually happened.</p>\n<p>Last year, Teacher Ced got really angry when the school decided that they were going to change the scores of some of the students in his class who had failed, and he shouted at Kh. Yai. He is so impolite. Noi likes Mr. Dee because he understands Thai culture. When he greets, he always uses the \'wai\', and he smiles a lot. He is always clean and dresses politely. He never gets angry like Teacher Ced, and always accepts decisions about the schedules and activities. Mr. Dee is such a good teacher.</p>\n<p>Pop and Poom\'s mother fondly remembers Ms. Eve, who used to teach her boys. Ms. Eve could speak Thai well, and always informed the parents about the classwork and the boys\' progress. Besides, Ms. Eve was so cute, with her curly hair and blue eyes.</p>\n<p>One of the other parents told her that Ms. Eve even stayed behind after class to help the students who were failing so they could pass successfully. Wow. Ms. Eve was a wonderful teacher! Unfortunately, Ms. Eve left the school because she had an argument with Teacher Ced - he got angry when all her students got high marks and blamed her for letting them cheat. Everyone knows about it because they were shouting in front of the children.</p>\n<h3>A popularity contest</h3>\n<p>So, we have a very complex set of opinions. It seems that \'good\' depends very much on who is speaking, and what it is they are looking for in a teacher. However, this all implies that being a well-liked teacher is the same as being \'good\'. Is popularity a good measure of teacher \'good\'-ness? In some cases, possibly; but there are plenty of teachers who are popular with students, but unpopular with their fellow teachers. Or popular with neither students nor colleagues, but popular with the school management. Or some other combination.</p>\n<p>Back to my conversation with Kh. Yai of Wat Awandaphul school. She\'s asked me if I have a good teacher. Do I? Does Yai like relaxed teachers like Andy? Or an inspiring one like Bee? Or a militaristic teacher like Ced? Or a culturally sensitive one like Dee? Or a dedicated one like Eve?</p>\n<p>Or perhaps there are there a completely different set of requirements that haven\'t been covered here - qualifications, youthfulness, ethnicity, length of experience? Is there some convoluted and tangled mix of all of these characteristics that Kh. Yai is hoping to find all in one neat package?</p>\n<h3>A good question</h3>\n<p>I have to admit that it is easy and tempting to think about teachers in shades of \'good\'. But perhaps the reality is that there is no such thing as a good teacher. Or, if you are a glass-half-full sort, every teacher is good (in their own little way). I would like to say I go for this option: after all, does any teacher wake up in the morning and set out to be a \'bad\' teacher? I rather doubt it.</p>\n<p>Perhaps instead of \'good\', we need more explicit adjectives for teachers. So instead of trying to decide if I am \'good\' or \'not good\', I can label myself as an \'open-minded\' teacher, set out to live up to this characterization, and then hope I\'m in a school where this trait is appreciated.</p>\n<p>Teacher Eve, for example, may decide she is a \'caring\' teacher, and feel vindicated in her argument with Ced, who she may see as lacking this virtue. How might Ced characterize himself as a teacher?</p>\n<p>Or alternatively, and probably an easier option, I can just go with the flow and accept the imprecise adjective. Following this line, let\'s see how I can answer Khun Yai:</p>\n<p>\"Fine Aj. Steve. We need a good teacher. Do you have?\"<br /> (pause for Steve\'s crisis around the meaning of the word \'good\')<br /> \"Of course, Kh. Yai. All of the teachers are good - I trained them!\"</p>\n<p>A nice piece of self-aggrandizing pretentiousness - go Steve. It might even be true.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2016-12-29 18:14:13',1,'2016-12-29 18:14:13','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31649,52,'January 2017','january-2017','The busy hiring season for teachers in Thailand is approaching.','Welcome to our latest round-up of all the news, promotions and deals from Thailand\'s leading TEFL / training course providers.

Still, if you\'re one of the many teachers looking to make a change or just earn a bit of extra money, I highly recommend giving it a try.','<p>It wasn\'t too long ago that I was finishing up an online lesson from a coworking space in Bangkok (don\'t worry, I used a private room lest the other workers be subjected to my lesson for free) and started thinking about how I got there.</p>\n<p>Cliche, I know, but as someone that taught in both Korea in China, it wasn\'t the easiest decision to leave traditional classrooms in search of greener pastures.  Those greener pastures, it turns out, were virtual classrooms, and while the demand for English teachers isn\'t changing (there are predicted to be <a href=\"http://www.ihlondon.com/news/2014/number-of-english-language-learners-keeps-on-growing/\">2 billion English learners by 2020</a>, after all), the way lessons are taught is evolving.</p>\n<p>If you need proof that teaching online isn\'t just some futuristic concept brought on by the fall of Skynet, consider this: VIPKID, a Chinese online learning platform, <a href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/03/vipkid-nabs-100m-to-link-chinese-kids-with-native-speakers-to-learn-english/\">just raised $100mil in funding</a>.  So, just because you aren\'t ready to leave the classroom doesn\'t mean your students feel the same.</p>\n<p>Luckily, I did feel the same, and thus began my adventure into online teaching.  As I write this I am transitioning away from teaching entirely (greener pastures syndrome, I suppose), but I still think moving online is both the future and a smart move for teachers.</p>\n<p>Here\'s why:</p>\n<h3>Unprecedented Convenience</h3>\n<p>While some teachers might define convenience as being able to work in your underwear, the truth is that online lessons afford a sense of convenience to both teachers and students that is unmatched when compared to the classroom.</p>\n<p>For teachers, simply imagine removing your commute entirely from your job.  How much time would you save?  What about the ability to work from anywhere?  Or the chance to teach in addition to another job?</p>\n<p>If you think those are appealing, students have it even better.  Some of my students had their lessons from some unconventional places including a cafe and even an airport while waiting for their flight.  While the most common place to have a lesson is in the comfort of one\'s own home, having the ability to learn wherever is opening up education to people that never even considered it.</p>\n<p>Take a student who has other responsibilities like a full time job or a family to take care of.  They are now able to get lessons on demand as opposed to basing their schedules around a traditional class.  This also results in a huge benefit to teachers as you can literally work as much as you want, whenever you want.</p>\n<h3>An Easy &lsquo;Next\' Step</h3>\n<p>There comes a time for many teachers where change is in the air.  Maybe you\'re looking to change cities or countries, or maybe you\'re one of the many <a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/the-five-categories-of-english-teacher\">gap-year teachers</a>.  However you define yourself, change can be difficult and overwhelming for anyone that\'s not a &lsquo;jump-and-a-net-will-appear\' type person.</p>\n<p>Teaching online helps mitigate that feeling.  For people looking to move back home, it can provide a part time stream of income until you find something else.  If you\'re retired, teaching online allows you to stay in the game without having a full course load.  And if you\'re a professional teacher looking to make a career jump, having online classes to fall back on can help make that jump less scary.</p>\n<p>This is far from a comprehensive list of the benefits of online work, but it should help get the wheels turning.  Take me for instance, I knew that I wasn\'t a career educator but also that I wasn\'t fully ready to leave teaching behind.</p>\n<p>Not a lot to go on, right?</p>\n<p>I ended up using online classes as a bridge between traditional teaching and my next journey.  And it worked - I taught as much as I wanted (usually) and devoted the rest of my time to personal projects and career development.</p>\n<h3>A Safe Bet</h3>\n<p>I\'ve had my share of crappy coworkers and while I will never condone \"job jumping\", I also know that not all teaching jobs are created equal.  The internet is filled with stories of people flying halfway around the world to jobs that don\'t live up to their expectations, or worse, don\'t exist.  To anyone that has ever had one of those crappy or misrepresented jobs, you can take solace in the fact that it\'s far less likely to happen with online schools.</p>\n<p>To start, online teachers are not bound to their school with a visa or housing - if the job isn\'t what you expected, you can quit and move on without issue (or red tape).  In addition, the issue of job availability as it relates to location is completely removed from this equation.</p>\n<p>Imagine if you\'re a teacher that has fallen in love with a city but are hesitant to teach there due to the abysmal job opportunities.  Unless that city doesn\'t have internet, that is no longer a problem.</p>\n<p>This is not to say that all online schools are beacons of transparency or that there are no quality jobs at traditional schools, only that your level of risk for taking a job is far less online than offline.</p>\n<h3>The Disadvantages</h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, it\'s not all peaches and cream when it comes to teaching online and there are some definite things to consider before taking the plunge.</p>\n<p>The one that might concern you the most, especially if you\'re an experienced teacher, is that there are not a lot of high-paying jobs.  Yes, there are some specialties like test prep and corporate tutoring, but the majority of jobs top out around $20-$25 per hour.  Furthermore, if you\'re used to having your housing provided for you, I\'m afraid that\'s off the table as well.</p>\n<p>The other issue is the whole legality of working online.  The fact is that most people who work online from various cities and countries do so on tourist visas, something that is not quite legal.  I am not here to debate the ethics of teaching online, but I don\'t want you to think there is some loophole that teachers are exploiting.  I highly advise you to take the law and taxes into consideration if you\'re thinking about working online in any capacity.</p>\n<h3>Convinced Yet?</h3>\n<p>Virtual teaching is not for everyone and teachers that make the transition usually have a few habits they need to restructure in order to be effective online.  Still, if you\'re one of the many teachers looking to make a change or just earn a bit of extra money, I highly recommend giving it a try.</p>\n<p><strong>Quincy</strong></p>\n<hr />\n<p>Quincy is one of the founders of English Online Hub, a site dedicated to helping people find online teaching jobs.

One guy was telling me how excited he was about an interview that he had with a company here in Thailand.  He wanted to come in March, but the employer wanted him to come within the next two weeks and he wanted to know what to do.</p>\n<p>I told him to call their bluff. They were probably yanking his chain, and they needed him more than he needed them. He agreed that I had a good point and wrote back turning down the job proposal. In a move that wasn\'t shocking they wrote back and asked, \"Okay so when can you come? Didn\'t you say March?\"</p>\n<p>Needless to say, he was smart and didn\'t take the job and decided he would keep looking.</p>\n<h3>So who\'s a probationary period for?</h3>\n<p>Something I never figured out until my second year of living this lifestyle is the deal with the probationary period. I\'m a paranoid idiot who has been screwed by many jobs most of my life. So with my first two jobs I ever had with being a TEFL teacher I always got worried during the probationary period.</p>\n<p>Then I made a realization. The probationary period isn\'t for me, it\'s for the school. That\'s why I made a <a href=\"https://youtu.be/N3GOCTI0Cx4\">youtube video</a> lots of people were grateful for called, \"What if my first year teaching job sucks?\" <br /><br />Don\'t get me wrong, you can\'t go in to the school and be useless, although if you did, since turnover is a pain in the neck, they might just keep you anyway. I just hope the people reading this has a hell of a lot more self respect than that.</p>\n<h3>Will you stick around?</h3>\n<p>The school gives you a chance to see how it\'s run. It tries to make you feel welcome as a new part of the team. This is how schools do things. Are you in it for the long haul and will you stick it out for the full contract year? If not, keep in mind, you\'re NOT beholden to that contract. If they wait for the 60 day period before setting you up with a work permit, you can easily tell them, \"Sorry, this isn\'t going to work out,\" and in most contracts you can leave within a week.</p>\n<p>If you decide to leave your job after you get a work permit, then that\'s another story where you have to report to them and they need to cancel the work permit. If they don\'t do that then you can\'t get another job. Hopefully you won\'t have a situation like that though.</p>\n<p>That\'s it for my first blog, Please tell me what you think.

This year, we spent just over a week in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan. Here\'s an overview,','<p>The Christmas and New Year period always gives my wife and I the chance to escape Bangkok and enjoy some quality time in another Asian city. This year, we spent just over a week in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, and one of the countries located in what I call the \'outer circle\'.</p>\n<p>The inner circle includes all the countries that neighbor Thailand - the likes of Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Singapore - but for various reasons we\'ve always had little interest in these places. There is often the hassle of acquiring visas for both of us and as my wife says \"why would I want to go somewhere that feels like an undeveloped version of Thailand?\" Harsh words maybe, but these neighboring countries never feel like holiday destinations to us. They just don\'t represent a great enough change of scenery.</p>\n<p>And so we always settle on one of the cities in the outer circle - Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul and now for a new experience, Taipei. All of these cities are just a several-hour flight from Thailand and offer the experience of being somewhere completely different. That\'s what we love about them!</p>\n<p>Alas, Hong Kong we\'ve been to many times and while we still love the city (it\'s worth going just for the Chinese food) we feel as though we\'ve walked down every side-street and exhausted every possible tourist attraction. <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/seven-days-in-tokyo-part-1\">We went to Tokyo</a> for the second time just last Christmas and although we pondered a <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/eight-days-in-korea\">return visit to Seoul</a>, we liked the idea of ticking off Taipei. It felt like a place not all that many travellers get to see.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/taipei1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>So rather than give you a day-by-day rundown of the trip, I thought I\'d present just an overview of our experience particularly for those who fancy putting Taipei on their itinerary. And also to compare Taipei with Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong.</p>\n<p>As we were coming to the end of our stay, one of my social media friends asked me how I would sum Taipei up in a single tagline. Hmmm....how about a \'poor man\'s Seoul\' or a \'very poor man\'s Tokyo\' or \'Hong Kong in a clean shirt\'? For me any of those three descriptions fit the bill. That\'s not to say I didn\'t enjoy it there but I simply like Tokyo and Seoul more. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>In terms of \'atmosphere\' and the \'feel\' of the place, Taipei is probably closest to Hong Kong (although with far more space as I\'ll touch on later) The streets are filled with the same cooking smells wafting from the backs of restaurants and you hear the same loud chatter of folks conversing in Mandarin Chinese.</p>\n<p>After a few days in the city, I jokingly remarked to my wife that we had found Bangkok\'s \'twin town\'. There were so many parallels to be drawn.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/taipei2.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>No speak English</h3>\n<p>There was a real reluctance to speak English, which became more frustrating when you realised that many of the locals could actually communicate in English quite well. In shops, restaurants and night markets, the Taiwanese tend to jabber at you in Mandarin and then when you indicate you can\'t understand a bloody word of it, they just speak louder and faster, hoping that will somehow do the trick. It\'s only when you shrug your shoulders in that universal gesture of \"sorry, me no understand\" that they switch to English and truth be told, make a very decent fist of it.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In Tokyo, and particularly in Seoul, the locals will always have a go where speaking English is concerned. &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Feeling the heat</h3>\n<p>Taipei was hot. OK, at least very warm. Despite December and January being statistically the coldest months of the year, there were at least three or four days when the afternoon temperature reached 25-28 degrees. Wearing only a t-shirt, I could have been walking along the Sukhumwit Road in downtown Bangkok. However, when temperatures go down to about 15-18 degrees in the evening, the weather becomes perfect for strolling around a night market. You won\'t need your fur-lined boots though.</p>\n<p>Call us mad but the extremely cold weather is one of our main reasons to journey to the outer circle during the New Year. Oh the joy of wearing several layers of clothing or a thick winter jacket. You know, all those clothes that are stored in a box on top of the wardrobe back in Bangkok and rarely see the light of day. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>We love the cold weather! In December and January, Hong Kong can dip as low as 10 degrees at night, Tokyo will rarely get above ten degrees during the day, and I recall Seoul going down to a bone-cracking minus nine at night, barely rising above freezing point during the daylight hours.</p>\n<p>Taipei was just too warm!</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/taipei3.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>One-paced</h3>\n<p>I found the Taipei folk a little bit slow, a trifle \'country-bumpkinish\' (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) certainly when you put them up against their Hong Kong and Tokyo counterparts. No one is any great hurry to get things done.</p>\n<p>In restaurants, waitresses would forget half the order and blame the cook. On subway trains, we lost count of the times the train would pull into a station and half the carriage would suddenly make a dash for the doors as they realized it was their stop. Streetfood sellers rarely upped their game when a rush hour queue of ravenous punters stretched halfway around the block.</p>\n<h3>Out of the way!</h3>\n<p>Just like Bangkok, Taipei seemed to have an underlying chaos. A sort of charming couldn\'t-care-less-ness, although probably one that becomes less charming if you live there as an expat.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Whereas in Bangkok the footpaths are a battle between pedestrian and motorcyclist, in Taipei it\'s the bicycle-riders who rule the roost. Even though the footpaths and main roads have designated bike lanes between them, the greedy cyclists always want more.</p>\n<p>When crossing the road, Taipei traffic WILL stop for pedestrians using zebra crossings. Most of the time that is.</p>\n<p>Oh, and there are no garbage bins anywhere. Or certainly not enough.</p>\n<h3>What I loved about Taipei</h3>\n<p>Cost-wise, we found it a very reasonable place to visit.</p>\n<p>Between Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo and Taipei, Taipei is the cheapest by some distance, especially the excellent underground train system. We each put 1,000 Taiwanese dollars on an EasyCard and zipped around the length and breadth of the city for 8 days and still had credit remaining. We even used the card to take buses out of the city too.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/taipei4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Eating out was very affordable and the selection and quality of streetfood was every bit as good as the street food in Seoul - but felt like half the price. Only buying fruit from the supermarket struck us as expensive.</p>\n<p>There is a tremendous feeling of space in Taipei, something you never get in Tokyo, Seoul or Hong Kong. The footpaths are wide and well-maintained and there is plenty of room to amble - except when you have a cyclist up your butt!</p>\n<p>Where Taipei really trumps the other three cities in my outer circle is in the selection of places to go on a day trip. After two or three days walking around any major city, you get the urge to venture further afield by train or bus. Taipei has spa towns, mountainous regions, historical villages and national parks all less than an hour\'s ride away. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The downside to getting out of Taipei is that the trains and buses are often packed with tourists and make for a very hot, uncomfortable ride. When doing our research, my wife got some great information from a Thailand travel forum. Many Thai travellers advised against using buses and trains and choosing taxis instead. This struck me as odd considering Thais are usually extremely budget-conscious when they go abroad.</p>\n<p>But they were absolutely right! Taxi fares in Taiwan won\'t break the bank and the drivers themselves are a decent honest bunch. They have also devised a neat system of approaching passengers stuck at the end of a long bus stop queue and offering a taxi pool option. So for example, my wife and I would buddy up with another couple of travellers going to the same destination, and the four of us would share a taxi and halve the fare. It\'s a system that works well and a taxi door to door can cost little more than a 100 Taiwanese Dollars each. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The final word has to go to Taiwan\'s incredible night markets. I read on a website that there are over twenty well-known night markets in Taipei and we managed to get around half a dozen of them. Night markets are open for business 7 nights a week and are great places to search for clothes bargains, electronic gadgets or just do what the locals do - eat, eat and eat some more!&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/taipei5.jpg\" /></p>','','2017-01-08 19:39:47',1,'2017-01-08 19:39:47','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31685,98,'Avoiding real estate scammers in Bangkok','avoiding-real-estate-scammers-in-bangkok','The challenge is knowing what kind of agent to look for','There is no licensing for real estate agents in Thailand.

It doesn\'t mean they are.','<p>Finding a condo in Bangkok can be a pretty overwhelming task to take on yourself.</p>\n<p>In order to know more about what\'s available and find the best condo possible, you need an agent.  The challenge is, finding a good agent can be just as overwhelming and dangerous if you don\'t know what to look for.</p>\n<p>Make no mistake, there are scammers in Bangkok posing as professionals.  You need to be able to tell the difference or you\'re going to find yourself severely out of pocket.</p>\n<p>Here\'s the main problem:  There is no licensing for real estate agents in Thailand. Saying you are an agent in any other country if you\'re not licensed is a criminal offence.  In Thailand?  Anyone can \"claim\" to be an agent.  It doesn\'t mean they are.</p>\n<p>Every day, I see people posting in Bangkok Facebook groups, requesting help from an agent to find them a condo and every time there is a reply from a person claiming to be an agent, who simply isn\'t.  They have one condo to show.  They have other or multiple jobs listed on their profile.  They use an alias.  They cost money.  There are a myriad of red flags to watch out for to help you better protect yourself and your money.</p>\n<p>Upon choosing a condo, you are going to be required to give this person two month\'s rent as a security deposit.  Let\'s try to ensure your \"agent\" doesn\'t just run off with it.</p>\n<p>Here are five steps you can take to prevent being scammed prior to and during your condo hunt:</p>\n<p><strong>1.  Do they work for a real estate agency or do they simply claim to be an agent?</strong></p>\n<p>Check their Facebook profile.  What job/company do they have listed?  If they have any other job on their profile, they are what we call \"an independent\".  If anything goes wrong, you don\'t have an employer you can report to and no real legal recourse in your favour.  This is a full time job.  My title and company are on all of my social media.<br /><br /><strong>2. They are an agent and have a company listed.  Great.  *Research the company* </strong></p>\n<p>Do they have a website and a business email?  No?  Red flag.  Every professional agency has a website and that website has a good amount of inventory (condos).  Business emails come free with domains.  Why people use gmail or hotmail for business is beyond me.  It looks so unprofessional.</p>\n<p>Call the company and make sure the agent works for them.  You don\'t want to know how many times I\'ve come across people claiming they work for RE/MAX BestLife (my company) and they don\'t. Make sure the company is real and they are a real employee. And please note, if anyone ever claims to work for me, their email will be an @bkkbestlife.  None of my agents are permitted to use their personal email.  Which leads into....<br /><br /><strong>3. Do they use their real name or a nickname? </strong></p>\n<p>This one is tricky in Thailand because all Thai people have their birth name and a nickname.  But know who you\'re dealing with.  Is their Facebook profile name \"Sexysexy Cutecute\"?  You might be inviting trouble.  If your booking or security deposit is stolen, the Thai police are going to have a difficult time finding Sexysexy.</p>\n<p>When you meet, ask for ID.  If they have a problem with this, that might be a telling sign.  In the case of a non-Thai (foreign) agent, you are also welcome to ask to see their work permit.  This is going the extra mile, as all you\'re establishing is if they are working legally as an agent or \"under the table\".</p>\n<p>This only really matters to you if something goes wrong with your contract or owner and you need their support. Which you might!  My passport, I keep on me.  For my work permit, you\'re going to need to swing by my office.  I have no problem showing any of my clients either document.  No one should be.<br /><br /><strong>4. Do they ask to show you *a* condo or a selection of condos to choose from? </strong></p>\n<p>You can easily find one condo yourself. The benefit of an agent is to view everything that meets your search criteria. Why waste your time going out with multiple agents just for them to show you one each?  You\'re looking for a 15,000 p/month, 1 bedroom condo, near Onnut BTS?  I can show you 10.</p>\n<p>You should never be asked to see any less than three during a viewing.  Only in the case that you\'re looking for a house should there only be one option, as houses/townhouses are much more rare and difficult to find.</p>\n<p>Additionally, be sure the agent can provide all the condo\'s specifications prior to viewing.  Price, size, etc.  Photos can be a challenge, even for me.</p>\n<p>Not all owners send photos and I simply don\'t have the time to visit every condo in my database of 11,907 properties to take photos myself.  Nor do I have the time to upload every property to my frontend database for renters/buyers to view.  Now hiring data-entry personnel and I apologise for the crippling monotony of your position ahead of time.</p>\n<p>I\'ve contacted agents about properties they \"represent\" and they aren\'t able to provide even the square meters of the condo.  Needless to say, I didn\'t work with them.  Red flag.<br /><br /><strong>5. This is extremely important.  Do they ask you for money at *any time*? Renters do not pay agent\'s commission. </strong></p>\n<p>I work purely on commission.  Owners (landlords) contact me requesting I rent their property.  They submit this request knowing the commission to be paid once we rent on their behalf.  I provide a service that they pay for and everyone wins and everyone is happy.  If an agent tells you that renters pay an agent\'s commission in Bangkok, they are double-dipping.  They\'re getting paid the same commission twice.  Call that what you want, I call it scamming.</p>\n<p>You will be required to submit a \"booking deposit\" when you find the condo you want.  This allows the agent and owner to agree that the condo will be removed from the open market and can not be rented to anyone else.  Upon signing a contract, you will need to provide a security deposit to the OWNER, equal to two months rent.  For both of these payments, get a receipt.  Never give anyone money in Thailand without proof that you have paid.</p>\n<p>And NEVER be conned into thinking you are required to pay an agent\'s commission or even a service fee of any kind.  As a matter of fact, if anyone ever claims this, please let me know who.</p>\n<p>I deal with the stigma of being a real estate agent everyday.  The jokes are endless, I assure you.

Don\'t forget the different dialects that exist in regional Thailand. Picking up a few local phrases is a sure way to win some friendly Thai smiles!</p>\n<p>Furthermore learning another language puts you in the role of a language student. This is very insightful when you are teaching English because you gain an appreciation of the requirements you need as a language learner. Endow your teaching practice with the qualities that you find helpful in people who assist you with your Thai learning endeavours.</p>\n<p>You will quickly understand that friendliness, patience and encouragement are prerequisites of an empowering language teacher.</p>\n<h3>Control Your Emotion</h3>\n<p>Adopting a tolerant and patient attitude will minimise frustrations that occur when you interact with Thai people in the workplace and wider community. Be sure to act politely with a happy countenance and keep your outward face free from displaying any negative emotion.</p>\n<p>From my experience of teaching in a rural village, the Thai mindset seems to be based around the concept of \"jai yen yen\" or staying cool. Not losing your temper must be a key policy of your teaching practice.</p>\n<p>Don\'t over react to small classroom management issues, or become unsettled by the perceived indifference of your Thai work colleagues. Sure Thai people lose their tempers with each other, but as a foreigner make it a priority to remain calm when dealing with Thai people about any issue.</p>\n<h3>Prepare Effective Classroom Management Strategies</h3>\n<p>When coming to teach in Thailand for the first time take care not to fall for the fallacy that Thai students are compliant and easy to control. If you are a teacher of limited experience then prepare to be tested by unmotivated and mischievous students when you come to Thailand.</p>\n<p>Talking from my experience of teaching in a government secondary school in rural Thailand I have had to deal with several classroom management issues. Compared to secondary students in Australia there is no doubt that Thai students are far better behaved and more respectful of their teachers, but adolescents armed with mobile phones will still seek to subvert their teacher, regardless of being Thai or Western.</p>\n<p>So take some time to prepare and develop some effective classroom strategies for your Thai classroom. Establishing classroom rules is a must. Many teachers like to have the students develop the classroom rules through discussion with the teacher or create a set of positive rules that avoid using negative words like\"do not\" and \"must not.\"</p>\n<p>Personally I prefer to implement a set of rules that are applied by the school across all classes. I have the rules written up in both English and Thai and placed in a clearly visible position at the front of the classroom. This strikes me as being more fair to the students as they are already aware of the school rules in their other classes. If a student offends you can make them stand up and have them read the rule to the class in both Thai and English.</p>\n<p>Should they offend for a second time you can take further action by asking them to sit elsewhere in the classroom or to write out the rule twenty or thirty times on a page. This occupies and silences the student allowing the teacher to get on with the job of teaching the rest of the class. Should the student continue to offend and you need to bring the matter up with a head teacher, then because you are using the school rules, the Thai staff will understand the problem and be more likely to provide appropriate support.</p>\n<h3>Vary Your Classroom Material and Teaching Pace</h3>\n<p>Generally most misbehaviour occurs because the students lack motivation or feel that they do not understand the lesson material.</p>\n<p>Varying classroom tasks with a mixture of music, videos, drawing and games, keeps students motivated and reduces the occurrence of student disruption. One one hand it is important to keep challenging your students to achieve but outbursts of misbehaviour can indicate that pupils are struggling to understand the requirements of an activity. Be prepared to simplify your task or differentiate learning materials. Take care to speak more slowly and to simplify your explanations.</p>\n<p>Having 3 or 4 highly effective games (the more the better) that are relevant to your current lesson is a great method to re-engage unruly students. Some of the games that I have used include, Pictionary, Word Bingo and Blackboard Race. The rules for these are available <a href=\"http://www.eslteachingadvice.com/\">at my site</a></p>\n<h3>Learn English Grammar</h3>\n<p>Improving your knowledge of English grammar is a beneficial habit to develop. The study of grammar can be a bit dry, but even just spending 30 minutes a day studying English grammar is a great way to assist the clarity of your explanations whilst building your own personal skill set.</p>\n<p>Being more sure about grammar will build your teaching confidence and will your career development prospects.</p>\n<h3>Give Yourself Time To Develop</h3>\n<p>Successful good quality teaching is never a \"walk in the park.\" As you prepare to teach in Thailand really try to focus on being there for the students. The more you concentrate on prioritizing the well being of your students then the less you will be derailed by things that occur beyond the classroom.</p>\n<p>Importantly don\'t get upset if you have a difficult class, as commitment and diligence will ensure your long term teaching success. Like any trade, teaching competency improves over time. So ride over the short term speed bumps with a smile and remember that it generally takes around five years for teachers to develop their skills to full potential.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Enjoyed the blog?

So here is this week\'s viewing.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Thailand time traveller</h3>\n<p>Two holidaymakers in Thailand are looking for the vacation of their lives - but this is no even playground! Both tourists are receiving the same amount of holiday spending money but one of them is living in the present at today\'s exchange rates and today\'s prices whilst the other is turning back the clock 25 years to a golden age when a trip to Thailand was value for money. In the first episode, our time traveller tootles down Sukhumwit Road in an airport limo, canoodling on the back seat with a couple of 5-star escorts, while Mr Present waves from the footpath and wonders if he can afford a second bag of pineapple.</p>\n<h3>Bookworm</h3>\n<p>Today, the bookworm team is standing at Bearing BTS (at the end of the Sukhumwit Line) handing out translated copies of the classics - including Oliver Twist, To Kill a Mockingbird and Pride and Prejudice - to random commuters. How many people will still be reading by the time the train pulls into the next station or how many will have found the temptation of their smartphones all too much to resist? And how many Oliver Twists went straight into the nearest bin?</p>\n<h3>Emquartier Survival</h3>\n<p>A team of contestants, led by a survival specialist, is each given a list of six shopping items to buy from six different retail outlets in the Emquartier shopping mall and the bonus task of finding a toilet that\'s not currently closed and under maintenance. With no map to guide them nor information desk staff to send them in wrong directions, all the contestants have is the clothes they stand up in and a seven-day supply of food.</p>\n<h3>The Tinder Trap</h3>\n<p>We follow the progress of a group of young, good-looking foreign men as they frantically swipe left and right on the Tinder dating app to secure a hot date for the evening. Who will be the lucky one? - the only one who doesn\'t end up with a ladyboy looking for paid sex.</p>\n<h3>Could You Eat Me?</h3>\n<p>A group of foreign English teachers suddenly realise they are on 11-month contracts and won\'t be paid for the month of May. Ferried by boat to a remote island in The Andaman Sea, they now have the toughest decisions of their lives to make. Dip into their savings and escape the island - or resort to cannibalism?</p>\n<h3>I Wouldn\'t Touch it with Yours</h3>\n<p>Six foreigners from the four corners of the globe descend on Bangkok to fulfil their dream of having gender realignment surgery. Unbeknown to them is the fact they\'ve been booked into a backstreet chop shop. After several days under the knife, an expert panel of judges is on hand to decide who most resembles the lead character in The Hills Have Eyes.</p>\n<h3>I\'m a Human Being, Get Me Out of Here!</h3>\n<p>Four competitors with the ultimate Bangkok to-do list including open a bank account, send a large parcel at the post office and collect money from Western Union. All they have to do is complete the tasks without a work permit! It\'s a race against time as the four are bounced from one department to another. Will the staff, paralysed by tradition and hundreds of years of saying no, make or break the competitors\' spirit? Who will be the first of the four to crack and collapse in a blubbering heap?</p>\n<h3>I Only Came for the Temples</h3>\n<p>An hour of late night chat as a group of pony-tailed Vietnam war veterans, all in their eighties, look back on how things were so much better in the olden days and wonder what the f*** they\'re still doing here.</p>\n<h3>Chinese Tour Group Round-up</h3>\n<p>Six of the world\'s most experienced tour guides are each put in charge of a Chinese tour group who have never ventured out of their country before. Can the guides keep control of their respective groups as they escort them around tourist attractions and take them on a boat trip along the bay when all they have at their disposal is an electric cattle-prod and a bull-whip. Who will be the first tour guide to totally lose it as one of their party nips behind the grand stupa for a whizz?</p>\n<h3>Room for One More!</h3>\n<p>It\'s time for more wobbly wheel fun as five more families take up the challenge of steering a Honda Shopper around a specially designed obstacle course. Mum, Dad, four kids, eight trays of eggs, a plastic bucket and a ten metre length of blue pipe - all on one tiny bike. Who will be first to the finishing line?</p>\n<h3>Culture Clash</h3>\n<p>We follow a group of university graduates as they embark on an epic journey across Thailand. It\'s a voyage of discovery, a chance for the group members to find inner peace, connect with Mother Nature and feel the Earth beneath their feet. With the aid of night vision, the camera team follows them every step of the way. Points are deducted for stealing tuk-tuks, picking fights with locals, hugging monks and skateboarding around temples.</p>\n<h3>There\'s a New Sheriff in Town</h3>\n<p>Four hardcore Chelsea and Millwall football hooligans are sent to a notorious mafia-run Thai island. The local bigwigs and extortionists are assembled and told that the four tough guys are there to shake things up and implement a system where everyone benefits from the tourist dollar. What can Spud, Knuckles, Razor and Baby-faced Mick achieve in just one week? The winner will be the person who manages to leave the island with the most body parts still attached.</p>\n<h3>Great Asian Train Journeys</h3>\n<p>This week we\'re in Thailand as intrepid traveller, Nigel Groves, embarks on an arduous journey from Bangkok\'s main train station to another station on the outskirts of the city. In tonight\'s episode, Nigel chats with a confused Thai farmer who is sitting in his seat and ponders the reasons why the train hasn\'t moved for the best part of two hours.</p>\n<h3>Rural Wedding Planner</h3>\n<p>Which of our two wedding planning teams can create the best experience for their guests when all they have to work with are a pile of styrofoam letters, a jumbo roll of sellotape, a microphone that constantly cuts out and a laptop that keeps displaying messages about running a pirated version of Windows.</p>\n<h3>Millionaire Digital Nomad</h3>\n<p>We\'re off around the coffee shops of Chiang Mai to join Trisha and Rob in their quest to become online billionaires. It\'s a hectic world of links, clicks and affiliate schemes. In tonight\'s episode, the sun has started to set and the city\'s rush hour is in full swing, but will they sell enough copies of their ultimate guide to trekking in Northern Thailand to pay for a dorm-bed or will it be another night on a park bench? Tempers flare when the coffee shop owner finally asks them to leave but Trish, not one to be downhearted, spies a hessian sack at the back of the shop and puts her dressmaking skills to good use.</p>\n<h3>Holiday Ponce</h3>\n<p>Two long-term Thailand expats go head to head and buddy up with a distant cousin or someone they fleetingly went to school with. They are given the thankless task of acting as tour guide and showing off all the sights of Bangkok over the course of three depressing and miserable days. Can our Thailand expats stay upbeat as their overweight, wobbly charges moan incessantly about the heat, the humidity, the spicy food and why you can\'t get women\'s shoes in European sizes. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Morning Campers!</h3>\n<p>It\'s chaos in the kitchen as the teams have to prepare an American breakfast for 50 guests at a fading holiday resort in the middle of a national park. Organisation and teamwork are left wanting as Team A realises they forgot to order lettuce and Team B just can\'t get the hang of waving bread in the direction of the toaster. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Shophouse Makeover</h3>\n<p>Design expert Gillian Makepeace is in Prakanong advising families on how to improve their lives by improving their living spaces. In today\'s program, how can she persuade one family to ditch the naked light bulbs and forty pairs of old sports shoes whilst just down the street, how can she convince another family that the living room is no place for a motorbike? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>','','2017-01-18 22:17:58',1,'2017-01-18 22:17:58','2018-04-15 03:03:26');

Not only that, there is little in the way of English language research and journal articles available to ground your interpretations of it.</p>\n<p>Consequently,  the basis for this article is instead observations on improvisations and the tone is more coffee table than peer reviewed (comments section not withstanding). That said, when it comes to using the TBC and planning effective lessons for learners there are some hidden benefits to working with it. Even to the point where it can be synthesised with foreign curricula so students both learn skills that are useful and perform well in traditional exams.</p>\n<p>The best of both worlds and having your cultural khanom/cake and eating it too, or as I like to call it the foreign teacher\'s middle way.</p>\n<p>When it comes to meeting the learning objectives of two pedagogically and culturally  different documents it can initially seem daunting. However there is a silver lining to this cloud of confusion. The Thai Basic Curriculum of 2008 is different to what western trained teachers will have encountered before. Organised into four level of three years a piece (Year 1 to 3 for example) some, but not all outcomes may be only touched once per level. Or once every three years that is.</p>\n<p>As the TBC for foreign languages is designed for two hours of English as a Second Language (ESL) format lessons in a government school it\'s easy for English Program (EP) schools to meet all outcomes with five or more hours per week, a much better student - teacher ratio and generally higher student proficiency in English.</p>\n<p>In the year level I am responsible for we had met the all of the TBC\'s outcomes based on the strands and standards by the end of Term 1. The structure of the TBC does raise some concerns. If concepts are not scaffolded each year (especially true for Maths and Science) is the knowledge internalised or merely surface learning? Is an entire term of enrichment viable and if not what to do in Term 2?</p>\n<p>In contrast the National Curriculum in England (Key Stages 1 and 2) should be something foreign teachers are much more comfortable with even if you haven\'t worked with it before. It\'s logically scaffolded skills based approach makes objective and outcomes seem more concrete and therefore quantifiable.</p>\n<p>In the interests of staying concise I won\'t expand on this but there\'s a link below for the curious. However, I will just add the self absolving caveat that there are no English language professional journals for teachers in Thailand. Nor is there much in the way of education research papers produced in English either. This leaves us with little choice but to cobble together a methodology that works for us in the Thai context by trial and error (and the occasional classroom baptism of fire).</p>\n<p>Essentially the approach of both documents couldn\'t be more different and the sanest approach is to embrace that very fact: Vive la diff&eacute;rence. It\'s in the western mindset to make order from chaos and do so as consistently as possible based on evidence. It may be more constructive however to view this from another way. Anyone who speaks some Thai and has taught here for a while knows the story of the middle way.</p>\n<p>Briefly, so the analogy goes, a musician was on a boat going downstream and told his student  \"If the string is too tight it will break, and if the string is too slack it will not play.\" The future Lord Buddha heard this, and the philosophy of &lsquo;The Middle Way\' as a path of moderation, between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification and the rest is history. This works for foreign teachers planning lessons in line with curriculum in Thailand as it is a naturally occurring solution in a Buddhist society.</p>\n<p>In short don\'t try to reconcile the two approaches, synthesise them into what works for you. If the TBC has sparse outcomes that are quite achievable in one term at an EP or bilingual school embrace that and extend the children\'s learning through adding foreign curricula. California, England and New South Wales all have great curricula. There\'s probably more than that, I just haven\'t worked with them yet. However, it\'s best to just choose one per school for the sake of consistency.</p>\n<p>In the Thai classroom social collectivism (Prpic and Kanjanapanyakom, 2004) is a reality no matter what kind of school you work in. A sense of security is gained by feeling part of several larger groups from school to city to religion to nation. Risk-taking by learners in the classroom is possible; but it needs to be a carefully crafted experience if a child could lose face in front of the group they so value.</p>\n<p>So how to navigate the above  minefield while meeting the learning need of the children? For any lesson plan or full scheme of work (whichever approach you prefer) have the TBC objectives be your base competency objective. This allows them to gain face, confidence and basic competency which in the thai context allows risk taking to take place without losing too much face.</p>\n<p>Typically at lower primary level this can be the first 20 minutes of a lesson. Often as long as they can focus for anyway so a win win. Given this, the foreign objectives/outcomes can extend the lesson and be where the risk taking takes place (and often the deep learning). This can be the second 20 to 30 minutes of your standard 50 minute lesson. Now  would be the appropriate place to show you a lesson or unit of work illustrating this but they remain the intellectual property of the school under Thai law.</p>\n<p>An entirely hypothetical example could be if you were starting by using a text with a thematic unit the TBC objectives would support the text work:</p>\n<p>Thai Strand 1: Reading Standard T1.1:</p>\n<p>1. Accurately and fluently read aloud words, texts short stories and simple verses. <br />2. Explain meanings of words and texts read. <br />3. Pose questions and give logical answers about what has been read. <br />7. Read explanatory paragraphs and follow instructions or suggestions.<br />Thai Strand 2: Writing Standard TH2.1:2. Write to describe things clearly.<br />Thai Strand 3: Listening, Viewing and Speaking Standard TH3.1:<br />2. Give the main ideas from what they listen to and view.<br />3. Pose questions and answer questions about what they listen to and view.</p>\n<p>The foreign curriculum, in this case from New South Wales could support any pairwork, groupwork, creative writing tasks or oral presentations that extend the lesson when students are prepared for a little risk taking.</p>\n<p>NSW EN2-9B Uses effective and accurate sentence structure, grammatical features, punctuation conventions and vocabulary relevant to the type of text when responding to and composing texts.<br />Reading and Viewing Understand how texts vary in purpose, structure and topic as well as the degree of formality.<br />Spelling Integrate a range of spelling strategies and conventions to accurately spell most words, including words of many syllables, when composing imaginative and other texts.<br />Writing Identify and use a variety of strategies to present information and opinions across a range of texts.</p>\n<p>If you teach both mathematics and science in this context there is also a hidden bonus of cross curricular data collection. If alike units line up (such as graphing and weather for example) you can save a lesson here or there (valuable if there are many ceremonies or morning activities at your school)  by covering one skill in two subjects at the same time. This meets two sets of TBC outcomes at once (albeit not in the Foreign Language section so it\'s another kettle of fish) and is compatible with one type foreign approach.</p>\n<p>This is not a uniform consistent approach to planning lessons. It\'s not research based because there isn\'t any available. It\'s simply doing what teachers the world over do: improvising. That with a dash of baptism of fire, a bit of cultural sensitivity and you too can cobble together a reflective teaching practice that works for you and more importantly, gets your students involved.

Even within that, there is a huge difference in the quality of education students receive (and expect) at various Thai schools.</p>\n<h3>What influences our choice?</h3>\n<p>Now, before I enrage the keyboard warriors out there (Thai Visa, I\'m looking at you), let me just say that I\'m not here to moan the inequalities of the world, nor do I feel that I have any grounds as a foreigner to judge the way the Thai society works. My perspective on this is as a teacher and potential parent; the hard reality for many of us is that, even if we could afford the 400,000+ THB Bangkok Pattana School and others of the \"elite\" charge for tuition per term (NIST is north of 600,000 in upper secondary IB!), there are various factors (culture, goals, pride, etc.) that may influence where we send our kids to school.</p>\n<p>I\'m not a parent, but having been a teacher for several years in both Thai and international schools, I\'ve noticed huge differences in the atmospheres of various institutions - often regardless of the tuition fees.</p>\n<h3>Personal observations</h3>\n<p>I worked at a Thai school for several years in Bangkok, a large-ish school with roughly 3,000 students, and the general atmosphere was what I consider typical of a Thai government school: you have your teachers that genuinely care, but a whole lot of \"mai pen rai\" (no worries) from most everyone else. Ignoring all the factors that can cause this (administrative corruption, last minute governmental mandates, funding, you name it), the result is mediocrity for all but the most motivated students. Personally, and I am by no means making judgments for those who do, I don\'t think this is quite the environment I\'d want my own kids to learn in if I could afford an alternative.</p>\n<p>So, how about those alternatives? As I\'ve discussed before, <a href=\"/blogs/sam-thompson/schools-in-thailand\">Thailand has several tiers of schools</a>, and for the purpose of the here-and-now, I\'m only considering public schools. However, \"public\" doesn\'t have the same definition in Thailand as it would in other countries; all public schools here have entrance exams (or rely on the standardized O-NET results), yet the extent to which students are accepted varies widely. Keep in mind that public schools aren\'t mostly free for parents as they generally are in Western countries; it\'s free with many conditions, often including book fees, electricity usage fees, and quite often \"extra tuition\" fees that many teachers offer (with the end result of pay = pass).</p>\n<h3>What\'s in a name?</h3>\n<p>As with everywhere, name recognition is a huge deal; the school I taught at wasn\'t what I consider the best by any means, but it does have some level of notoriety in Bangkok for whatever reason, and parents would often pay good money to tutoring [cram] schools to have their students \"pass\" the school\'s requirements... or, often, bribe the director to allow them entry. While that\'s not always the case, the more prestigious a school is, the more difficult it is for students to get in. The result? School segregation, for better or worse, along both academic and social standings.</p>\n<p>The best example of this is actually a highly positive one: Triam Udomsuksa School near Siam is widely considered the best government school in Thailand, and after my experience there at a recent debate tournament, I\'d say it is a well-deserved title. In fact, I\'d argue that this government school is of higher calibre than many \"upper tier\" international schools I\'ve worked with and for.</p>\n<p>The school has over 5,000 students, and has the most competitive admissions requirements in the country. (What actually determines students\' acceptance is another story.) The facilities are excellent (a government school with air conditioning?), and the overall atmosphere there is entirely different from the government school I worked at; to say that the motivation to succeed is everywhere-both in students and staff-would be an understatement. For example, you will see students walking around reading books of their own volition, and the teachers (both Thai and foreign) I know that work there are entirely dedicated to their professions. Thinking from a parent\'s perspective, I can\'t think of a better environment for a child to learn.</p>\n<h3>Bangkok v upcountry</h3>\n<p>Compare that to an upcountry school, such as one I visited in Pitsonalok awhile back; whereas Triam Udomsuksa has a relaxing on-campus lake complete with a gazebo and fountain, this school didn\'t even have doors for the classrooms. At Triam, students were learning with top Thai university graduate instructors, whereas Pitsonalok\'s teachers often lacked expertise and taught there to be close to home. Both of these are \"government schools,\" mind you. Does this mean the students are of a lower quality at a no-name school than a prestigious one? Theoretically not, but in reality and practice, thinking as a parent, I would have to disagree.</p>\n<p>Sure, this is an extreme example, but take any top school versus... well, the rest, and gives you reason to pause. The reality of it is, if you\'re a motivated student, you\'re always going to succeed at what you what to do. Unfortunately, the level to which success is allowed, or even conceptualized for that matter, depends largely on the opportunities given to you. It\'s thus an uphill battle, and if money is an issue, sending your kids to a nurturing and effective school is challenging in any country.</p>\n<p>As I\'ve said, I\'m not a parent. But I work at an international school, and know that if I ever become one, I won\'t be able to afford the fees to send a child to the very school at which I work. I realize this is a huge reason that expats move back to their home countries - the standard of affordable education is vastly different - but with all the negativity, there are Thai schools of high standards to be found.</p>\n<p>In my experience, aside from Triam Udomsuksa, many (if not most) of the university-affiliated public schools (demonstration schools) are of high caliber, and I\'ve had first-hand experience with Kasetsart University\'s demonstration school and Patumwan Demonstration School (right next door to Triam Udomsuksa - how about that), and can honestly say that their level of quality is generally on par with or exceeding the public school I attended in the US, not that that\'s especially high praise.</p>\n<p>There are some good bilingual schools to be found too - Panyarat High School in Silom, for example, or even low/mid-tier international schools with more affordable fees-but those go outside the realm of \"public\" schools.</p>\n<p>I\'ll put it this way: my fianc&eacute; is a department head at a large Thai government school, and she has said she wouldn\'t send her child to the school she works at if she could avoid it, yet a more prestigious public school, she would.

A greater awareness of Buddhism will permit a more accurate reconsideration and realignment in developing pedagogical strategies that are better suited to the regional Thai education system.</p>\n<p>In Western culture (particularly in Australia where I come from), secular education is clearly foregrounded, with the church\'s role in education marginalised to old-fashioned Sunday Schools or Church-run private schools whose programs largely adhere to secular curriculum requirements.</p>\n<p>Here in the Esaan province of Buriram the presence of Buddhism is omnipresent. From temples to statues, prayers broadcast on public speakers, amulets, shop photos and monks walking the streets in search of food, Buddhism is everywhere. So as a teacher in a government school I have learnt to appreciate the fact that Buddhism is well and truly part of the school system.</p>\n<p>So what does this mean to a foreign English teacher trying to cope with the demands and frustrations that occur in daily school life?</p>\n<p>Stay positive and view issues pertaining to Thai education with a broad mind. Balancing your concerns, with a deeper understanding of how Buddhist values reverberate in the local community is the way to go!</p>\n<h3>West v East</h3>\n<p>The core issue is a process of displacement. On one hand there is the incoming modern Western influence that promotes an educational system based on creating students who are independent, imaginative and technologically savvy.</p>\n<p>They access a curriculum that prepares them for employment in a rapidly advancing global environment. Whilst on the other, the traditional Thai Sangha or monastic controlled education system, emphasises ethics and an appreciation of tradition. Whilst both styles value the importance of morality, there is a perplexing clash in educational philosophy. One must ask what is the better outcome for the students?</p>\n<p>The problem with our altering technological world is that our focus in keeping up with the present comes at the expense of losing respect for the past. The pursuit of treasures promised by materialism promotes individualism at the expense of wider community mindedness.</p>\n<p>Regardless of what side of the fence you sit, one needs to be cautious about taking a one sided view to this dilemma. The Buddhist approach advises one to contemplate the values of both sides and to plot a pathway that considers the best of both worlds.</p>\n<h3>Rome Wasn\'t Built in a Day</h3>\n<p>Sure, there is little doubt that the Western goals are the preferred outcome for a student, but Thailand is a developing country, and poverty remains a major handicap. Furthermore developing a successful education system is very much like developing a successful democratic system.</p>\n<p>History tells us that this process can take several of hundreds of years.</p>\n<p>For example the universities of Oxford and Cambridge date their origins at around 1180-1200. Witches were being burnt in Salem and Galileo was burnt at the stake several hundreds of years after England\'s first universities were born.<br />Whereas Thailand\'s first university was not opened until 1917.!!!</p>\n<p>Thailand has not been colonised and the immaturity of its bureaucratic infrastructure has affected development of democratic and educational institutions adversely. So the end result is a slowing of the process. Throw in the widespread poverty, superstition and a relatively short history (since 1932) of a military dominated constitutional monarchy, one can see that there are many legitimate reasons for the current weaknesses in the Thai educational system.</p>\n<p>So avoid disenchantment with the Thai education system and keep the saying that \"Rome wasn\'t built in a day,\" firmly in your mind.</p>\n<h3>The Grip of Tradition</h3>\n<p>There is little doubt that there is much room for improvement in the Thai education system. According to the latest results published by PISA (comparing the academic levels of students on a country by country basis) Thailand is only ranked 54th. Thailand might not be keeping up in the educational race but are things as grave as the figure suggests?</p>\n<p>Thailand is a socially immobile society in many ways. The culture remains steeped in religion and superstition. The established wealth of your family has more credence than individual talent, and the family unit is more important than the individual.</p>\n<p>As teachers we face a tough task in our valiant efforts to change the Thai educational system for the better. Becoming upset with the stubborn traditions of Thai culture will only hinder positive change, but dedicated effort in our teaching practice can make each day just a little better for our students.</p>\n<p>So whilst there is plenty of room for criticism, let\'s highlight some positive aspects of Buddhism in Thailand\'s rural community, so that we teachers can keep perservering to make a valuable contribution to our student\'s lives.</p>\n<h3>Upsides of Thai Buddhist Society</h3>\n<p>The wat serves as a trusted multi-functional community centre in much of regional Thailand, as a place of worship, a playground for children, a neighbourhood meeting place, a centre for rituals and a social support.</p>\n<p>The teachings of Buddhism are essentially concerned with creating individuals who are mentally-disciplined and selfless. The Four Noble Truths aim to release an individual from suffering by following at Eightfold Path that nourishes the mind with an emphasis on peace, honesty and compassion</p>\n<p>In following Buddhism young people gain a better sense of having respect for their elders than their Western counterparts.</p>\n<p>As a result of their exposure to Buddhism, Thai people are able to practice self restraint in daily life manifesting in an outwardly cheerful, tolerant and non-confrontational attitude</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Enjoyed the blog?

That\'s a good thing, except that after sweet snacks things can get complicated. This is most noticeable (for me, anyway) with kindergarten children who can\'t inhibit their impulses. The cause?','<p>Teacher Bob gets to his class at the end of the lunch break and tries to get some order. It\'s a struggle: the students are raucous and excitable, obviously still engaged in their own interests. The students don\'t seem to want to focus on the lesson.</p>\n<p>Being a dedicated teacher, Bob has snappy visuals and a game ready, but it doesn\'t work. He decides to give up on the fun presentation and moves the class into a bookwork task - this class takes the book seriously. This works and the class begins to settle, but they are still listless and it\'s obvious they aren\'t concentrating.</p>\n<p>About 30 minutes into the lesson, things are finally quiet. But now, while he is discussing the answers to the book exercises, the students are getting really snoozy: some students are actually nodding off! Bob gets angry.</p>\n<h3>Sour classroom management</h3>\n<p>This story is not mine. At a workshop on classroom management recently, teachers were discussing problems they were having in their classrooms. One teacher announced he was having trouble with students sleeping in class. Other teachers in the group nodded: students doze off in class.</p>\n<p>One teacher\'s interpretation was that students don\'t want to study. They hate English and are disrespectful. The workshop teachers wanted a handy discipline tool to deal with this.</p>\n<p>However, a manager or a teacher trainer looking in on Bob\'s class may have a different interpretation: the students are bored. Bob\'s poor planning, his geriatric pacing, and teacher-centered activities are killing enthusiasm. This is a possibility.</p>\n<p>A visiting sociologist, on the other hand, may decide the problem is a result of the children staying up till midnight doing homework under parental pressure and test washback, and therefore not getting sufficient sleep. Also possible.</p>\n<p>There might be another reason, one which falls outside of the realms of pedagogy but is becoming increasingly pertinent to the modern teacher: food and exercise.</p>\n<p>Now it\'s not the responsibility of language teachers to dictate what or when students eat, nor how much physical activity they do outside of the classroom. But these factors affect our lessons, and so even though we can\'t control them, it\'s probably a good idea to understand what\'s going on.</p>\n<h3>Sweet treats</h3>\n<p>Our students eat. That\'s a good thing, except that after sweet snacks things can get complicated. This is most noticeable (for me, anyway) with kindergarten children who can\'t inhibit their impulses. The cause?</p>\n<p>As an English teacher I don\'t promise to have all the facts right, but here\'s how I understand it. Blood sugar level is the amount of glucose in the blood. The body tries to keep blood sugar levels balanced - a state of homeostasis. Blood sugar is regulated through the release of hormones. If your blood sugar is too low, catabolic hormones like glucagon are released to help increase it. If it\'s too high, insulin is released to reduce it. So when we eat a sugary snack (or a large lump of carbohydrates), blood sugar rises and insulin is released.</p>\n<p><img height=\"350\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/sugar_drinks.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Over time, the constant intake of sugar (compounded by a sedentary lifestyle) leads to insulin resistance, which means that ever greater amounts of insulin are released to deal with a rise in blood sugar. Large doses of insulin mean that blood sugar levels are then brought down too far. When this happens, the body responds by shutting down to conserve energy. So after a massive intake of sugar, there is a spike of activity, and then a \'crash\' during which the body craves sleep. The science here is fascinating, and if you are interested, check out <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Habits-Hormones-Solution-Through-Science-ebook/dp/B00VUZMNQI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1485675488&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=habits+and+hormones\">Jeff and Ritah\'s very readable book</a>&nbsp; on the subject.</p>\n<h3>Bitter aftertaste</h3>\n<p>For me, sugar crashes happen most often in the hour or so just after lunch. Put me in a quiet room with the hum of a pleasant air-conditioner, and I\'m history. I can get insanely sleepy during afternoon classes even though I\'ve had a full night\'s sleep. I promise, it\'s not because I\'m insolent or disrespectful, nor because my mother kept me up till midnight doing my homework. It\'s just biology.</p>\n<p>In our classrooms, unstable blood sugar creates interesting behavioral traits. When blood sugar is high, students are bouncy, fun and uncontrollable. After the release of insulin, they become lethargic. In both cases, focus and concentration suffer. With our increasingly sugar-rich nutrition, this is becoming a topic teachers really should know about. On the topic of sugary diets, have you seen this visual of the sugar content of various drinks?</p>\n<p>I\'m not sure where this comes from or how accurate it is, but oh dear! Lemon tea - you traitor!</p>\n<h3>Sugar high</h3>\n<p>Is there an easy solution? It seems not. Sugar releases dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates movement and controls the brain\'s pleasure centers. When dopamine is released, we feel good. Because of this, sugar is powerfully addictive. <a href=\"http://www.firstpost.com/world/sugar-addiction-is-for-real-new-study-reveals-it-is-like-being-hooked-on-cocaine-2727984.html\">In this experiment</a>, rats exposed to both cocaine and sugar preferred sugar when given the choice. Restricting sugar to sugar-addicts (of any age) leads to a dopamine imbalance, and in turn, to symptoms not unlike cold turkey. Oh dear (again)!</p>\n<p>Back to Bob. Are his kids disrespectful? Is he suffering from poor classroom management? Maybe. But even if Bob has an amazing lesson planned and executes it with aplomb, his students are in the throes of biological forces beyond their reckoning.</p>\n<p>Anger is a poor option. A key part of classroom management is maintaining perspective - by this I mean that a teachers need to know not only what\'s wrong, but why it\'s wrong, and then focus attention on the elements of the lesson that are in their power to manipulate - like pacing, activity choice, student grouping, and language scaffolding. Some things are out of a teacher\'s hands, and these need a little shoulder shrug and maybe a quiet chortle. I would say that the students\' blood sugar is one of these.</p>\n<p>Does that mean ignoring it? That too is a poor option. Teachers who understand the problem have different approaches to minimizing it - like breaking out an activity with movement, or distributing jelly candies, which have the effect of stabilizing blood sugar. Bananas also help. At worst, you can always eat the candies and bananas yourself.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2017-02-01 20:41:58',1,'2017-02-01 20:41:58','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31742,52,'February 2017','february-2017','News, promotions, deals and more from Thailand\'s leading training providers','The busy teacher hiring season is almost upon us.

Stuff like that doesn\'t happen so much in Asian culture.','<p>I\'ve always said that the differences in our cultures is what makes the world great, not to mention leads to some funny stories, ergo the point of this blog.</p>\n<p>As westerners, we like to have schedules and we like to know things ahead of time. Stuff like that doesn\'t happen so much in Asian culture.</p>\n<p>If you\'ve never been on this side of the pond, I can illustrate my point with this story that happened in my first school here in Thailand.</p>\n<h3>A speaking part?</h3>\n<p>One day a friend of mine had one of his busy schedule days. One of the Thai teachers came up to him and said, \"Mr. Paul, this is for you.\" Paul didn\'t have time to look it over but politely took it to save it for later. The next day when things weren\'t as chaotic he looked over the papers he was given. Of course it was written in Thai and even though he only knew a little bit, he had taught himself the Thai alphabet.</p>\n<p>When Paul was looking it over it seemed like a script for a play. He went to the Thai teacher who gave it to him and asked, \"Hey, is this a script to a play?\" The Thai teacher said it was. Then the next obvious question is, \"Do I have a speaking part?\" The Thai teacher said yes. My friend obviously got irritated and asked, \"Well why didn\'t you tell me?\" He worked it out. Some of the Thai teachers wrote out his lines in our Romanized letters and he taped them to the floor of the stage so he could read them.</p>\n<h3>Asia style</h3>\n<p>That is a way of life in not just Thailand, but South Korea, Japan, it happened when I worked in Indonesia, and I\'m sure some other countries here on this side of the pond.</p>\n<p>The miserable people living here who have nothing nice to say about Thailand will probably say Thais do that out of spite or because they\'re dumb. I\'ve talked with friends about this and I think it all boils down to them assuming you know what\'s going on and if you don\'t, you would ask.</p>\n<p>It\'s something you have to deal with in your own way. Honestly, the only thing you can do is laugh about it because everyone is always going to have a funny story.... Like this next one.</p>\n<p>One time at that same school I was getting ready for class, saw the kids line up after lunch (I was teaching 5th grade social studies) and while getting ready in class waiting for them one of the teachers came by and asked, \"Where did the kids go?\" Five other teachers were standing in the hallway bewildered wondering where they went.</p>\n<p>One of my girls who I knew was sick came back to get her stuff to go home. I asked where they went and she said they went to the auditorium to offer prayers of gratitude to the people who fought and died for Thailand. Guess when they found out? When they lined up for lunch. Something else you have to keep in mind is a lot of times these are surprises for Thai teachers too. That instance was a surprise for them, and over here in my current school, the Thai teachers get occasional surprises too.</p>\n<h3>Go with the flow</h3>\n<p>The one thing you CAN\'T do is take it personally. You are going to cause yourself a hell of a lot of stress. It\'s not something that you can control so relax. You just have to roll with the punches.</p>\n<p>One thing you can do, and I can\'t guarantee its success, is \"ethically bribe\" students. What I mean by that is when you figure out who the good students are in your class tell them if they find out about classes cancelled for whatever reason before us, come and tell you, and give them 100 baht. I wanted to do that last year but forgot to set that up with a student.</p>\n<p>What you SHOULDN\'T do is get all bent out of shape about it. That does nothing and makes life uncomfortable for people around you.</p>\n<p>Case in point, I worked at a language school in Indonesia. When new management came in, they were under pressure to clean up the records in the system. One of the things they were doing was pulling kids out of class for a few minutes to take new pictures for the computer system.</p>\n<p>There were two female teachers at the school that threw a fit about that (along with other little things). I could tell when one of the sales people just finished going to their room because they looked scared coming in to my room asking for one student to get her picture taken. She didn\'t want to go alone so me, her and the three other girls went down stairs together with her, took the picture, and went back up stairs to continue class.</p>\n<p>Wasn\'t that easy?</p>\n<p>These two female teachers were extreme cases because they would stress out and get so angry to the point where they got sick many times. The irony here is they were vegetarians and... wait for it....... Buddhist.</p>\n<p>I\'ve been here for three years in Thailand now and I honestly think if they got so stressed at the language school for little interruptions, they would stress out to the point of getting cancer here in Thailand at bigger schools.</p>\n<p>Basically, don\'t freak out too much with surprises. Take it with a grain of salt. Remember, it even happens to Thai teachers, not just us foreigners. If you keep all that in mind, learn to laugh it off, and you will be okay.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you haven\'t done so already please subscribe to my <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/karawacimatt\">youtube channel</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Also please feel free to <a href=\"http://www.karawacimatt.com\">check out my website</a> for other blog posts and useful information about teaching in Thailand and other useful things too.&nbsp;</p>','','2017-02-02 00:05:03',1,'2017-02-02 00:05:03','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31753,20,'Three reasons to use a recruiter','three-reasons-to-use-a-recruiter','Not all the stories are bad','Recruiters aren\'t for everyone but they can play an invaluable part in your next ESL job search whether this is your first time teaching abroad or you\'re just looking to simplify the job search.','<p>Using a recruiter to find teaching jobs is a divisive topic and you\'ve likely already read some pretty passionate accounts from teachers of how it was the worst decision of their ESL career or how it really helped.</p>\n<p>I fall into the latter camp and cannot say enough good things about the recruiters I have used in both Korea and China.  Even if you\'re an experienced teacher, I really think there are some benefits to using one for your next job search.</p>\n<h3>What Is a Recruiter?</h3>\n<p>You can think of an ESL recruiter like your agent - they are responsible for finding you jobs that match your requirements, setting up the interviews, and facilitating the hiring process once you receive an offer.</p>\n<p>They are paid by the school and therefore it\'s in their best interest to make sure you are happy and committed to the job because anything less could not only affect their pay but also their future interactions with that school.</p>\n<h3>Why Should You Use a Recruiter?</h3>\n<p>I used a recruiter during both my stints as in ESL teacher, first as a teacher in Korea and later when I made the move to <a href=\"https://eslauthority.com/teach/china/\">teach in China</a>.  While there is no shortage of horror stories when it comes to teaching abroad, in my experience using a recruiter helped make the process much easier to manage.</p>\n<p>Here\'s why:</p>\n<h3>They Act as a Filter</h3>\n<p>I\'ve always found job hunting to be overwhelming but the ESL industry takes it to a whole different level.  More than once I\'ve found myself mislead when applying to jobs on my own, either because the location is wrong (no, 30 minutes outside of the city is not the same as working downtown) or because the contract doesn\'t match the job description.  Using a recruiter allowed me to provide a set of requirement (pay, location, workload, etc) and only see jobs that were a match.</p>\n<h3>They Are on Your Side</h3>\n<p>I\'ve had a few discussions with employers where I believed what was being asked of me fell outside of my contract.  When we were unable to come to an agreement, I went to my recruiter and asked for backup - and they delivered.  While they might get paid by the school, they only make money when the teacher is happy and working, thereby making them your biggest ally (unless you\'re in the wrong, obviously).</p>\n<h3>They Make the Transition Easier</h3>\n<p>In both of my stints abroad it was my recruiter that not only ran point during the visa process, but also picked me from the airport when I arrived.  The truth is a lot of schools are stretched thin and I\'ve seen a few of my friends have their arrival delayed due to a mistake the school made with paperwork.  Schools might only hire two teachers a year, but recruiters are doing this nearly every day and therefore can anticipate any problems before they arise and work to make the process as easy as possible for the teacher.</p>\n<h3>How Can You Find a Good Recruiter?</h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, not all recruiters are created equal and there are plenty of scams out there that lead to <a href=\"http://www.eslinsider.com/articles/esl-scams-horror-stories-teaching-english-gone-bad\">horror stories</a>.  In order to find a good one you need to treat it as if you were looking for a new job - do your research, check references, and trust your gut.  While I have only worked with two recruiters in my life, I have spoken to at least a dozen.  The difference comes in because some have no idea what they are doing, some have no reputation or references, and some just give out a weird vibe.</p>\n<p><strong>To increase your chances of finding a good one, consider doing the following:</strong></p>\n<p>Ask to speak to other teachers with whom they\'ve worked - you should already be planning on doing this with your potential school, but doing it with your recruiter will give you a better idea of how they operate.</p>\n<p>Ask them questions - if you don\'t understand something in your contract or need more information about the school, a recruiter should be more than willing to help.  If not, that should be a red flag and you should look elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Trust your gut - if a recruiter is asking you to arrive on a tourist visa, lie about your background check, or anything else that seems suspicious, it\'s time to make a change.</p>\n<h3>Wrapping Up</h3>\n<p>Recruiters aren\'t for everyone but they can play an invaluable part in your next ESL job search.  No matter if this is your first time teaching abroad or you\'re just looking to simplify the job search, consider speaking to a few of them to see how they can help - most of them are just trying to make the process as easy as possible.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Quincy is a former teacher and founder of <a href=\"https://eslauthority.com/\">ESL Authority</a>, a site dedicated to bringing first hand advice and guides to those looking to get involved in ESL teaching.

Most of all, the owner\'s purchase price but more specifically, the condo\'s current value. But what determines that?</p>\n<h3>Location, location</h3>\n<p>Of course, the closer you get to central Bangkok, the more expensive your condo will be. This is because of land value. It costs the developer more to build there, resulting in a high price per square meter.</p>\n<p>How close was that land to high-value commercial zoning? How about the distance to BTS/public transport? Who was the developer (brand pricing)? Is it a high or low rise? What amenities or facilities are included in the building? You also have to consider the age of the condo and any other development in the area.</p>\n<p>These are just a small selection of points that determine value but the question we\'re trying to answer is, <strong>is YOUR rent too high?</strong> Here\'s how you find out....</p>\n<p>1. Visit any of Bangkok\'s property websites. Hipflat, DDProperty, FindYourSpace, etc. <br />2. Find your building and find the listings of your condo\'s layout for sale. <br />3. Gather 5 units and get an average current sale price for your unit</p>\n<p>Now, here\'s your maths:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/blake1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>(condo value) divided by 12 (months). Multiply that result by 0.04 then 0.05 then 0.06 until you get a number that\'s the same as your rent.</p>\n<p>What you\'ve just calculated is your landlord\'s \"Rental Yield\" on their investment. 0.04 = 4% yearly return, 0.08 = 8% yearly return.</p>\n<p>If they bought the condo cash outright, that\'s their profit. In the above example at \"The Link Sukhumvit 50\", 42 sqm 1 bedroom condos typically rent for 15,000 THB per month, giving us a 4.616% Rental Yield.</p>\n<p>But even investors forget about one very important factor.</p>\n<h3><strong>INFLATION!&nbsp;</strong></h3>\n<p>Inflation rate in Thailand has averaged 4.28% per year from 1977 to 2017. So, if the number you used was lower than 0.04 (4%), you\'re costing your landlord money.</p>\n<p>Inflation is eating up 100% of their return. They make nothing. Anything over 0.08 (8%) is too high, in my personal opinion.</p>\n<p>0.06 (6%) is what I recommend to owners who contact me asking what they should rent their condo for.</p>\n<h3>Room for negotiation</h3>\n<p>Listing at 6%, their potential tenant can negotiate a little and they don\'t lose money on their investment. The owner maintains a fair rate of return and the renter isn\'t being gouged in the process. To put that in perspective, that\'s 15,000 THB per month rent for every 3,000,000 THB of property value.</p>\n<p>Go ahead and use this calculation for the condo you\'re renting right now. Feel free to use it in your next condo hunt to ensure you\'re being charged a fair amount.</p>\n<p>Maybe you\'re being overcharged and you can now prevent it from happening again in the future or maybe you have an absolute steal of a deal. Most of all, be sure to use this before commenting on a Facebook property post!  Maybe that condo\'s rent that you think is too expensive is, in reality, very well priced.  Let me know your result.</p>','','2017-02-12 04:59:13',1,'2017-02-12 04:59:13','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31758,10,'Help!

Can you help me pass it?\"</em></p>\n<p>These are the words that strike fear into the heart of any English teacher and I\'m willing to bet most of us have been in this frustrating situation. I certainly have. Many times.</p>\n<p>We\'re approached by students who can barely string a sentence together and we\'ve got seven days to transform them into William Shakespeare. It is, needless to say, a mission impossible.</p>\n<p>My knee jerk reaction is always &lsquo;how can I get out of this?\' so I\'ll concoct a devious plan. I\'ll be vague as to when I\'m available for a study session. I\'ll avoid answering the phone or returning text messages and generally do what it takes to remove myself from the situation and force the student to lose interest. But this is one request I can\'t ignore because it involves a family member. My wife\'s nephew to be exact.</p>\n<p>I like Nui. I like him a lot. I\'ve watched him grow up from the lively little boy in short trousers who attended our wedding, to the ambitious student now looking to get into university. When he was a teenager, he helped me with my Thai language study on many occasions and he made a fine teacher too. He\'s a hard-working guy with a thirst for knowledge and a good brain. He\'ll go far if he gets the right opportunities and no one wants him to succeed in life more than I do.  He also lives next door.</p>\n<p>Nui needs to pass something called the GAT test, devised by the NIETS (National Institute of Educational Testing Service) The examination contains about 60 multiple choice questions that test a candidate\'s grammar, reading skills, vocabulary, etc.</p>\n<p>Yesterday, Nui furnished me with some mock GAT tests so I could familiarize myself with the content and also the level of difficulty involved.  The test is challenging to say the least. I bet many a native English speaker would struggle to get a top score.</p>\n<p>As much as Nui\'s English has come on in leaps and bounds over the last few years, the harsh reality is that he\'s still about 750 levels below where he needs to be in order to achieve a good test result. The main concern for me is that Nui doesn\'t realise it.</p>\n<h3>Sample questions</h3>\n<p>Let\'s look at a couple of sample questions from the GAT test to get an idea of what Nui is up against.</p>\n<p><strong>Firstly one from the short conversation section.</strong></p>\n<p>Janet: I heard you passed the screening test.<br />Wichai: Yes, and I\'m invited for an interview next Friday.<br />Janet: _______________________________________</p>\n<p>a) I\'ll keep my fingers crossed.<br />b) See you at the interview.<br />c) What are you doing on Friday?<br />d) Don\'t miss it, will you?</p>\n<p>The answer I guess is A. Janet is &lsquo;keeping her fingers crossed\' - an idiom to hope that something or someone receives a favorable outcome. It\'s an idiom that you either know or you don\'t. In the question above, although choice C can be eliminated immediately, there is a degree of logic in choices B and D. Certainly enough to cause confusion if you don\'t know your good luck idioms.</p>\n<p><strong>This question is from the odd one out section</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Choose the word which does not belong</p>\n<p>A) Grab <br />B) Seize<br />C) Snatch<br />D) Rise</p>\n<p>The answer is D of course. But Nui didn\'t know the answer because &lsquo;grab\' and &lsquo;rise\' were the only words he was vaguely familiar with. You need to have at least three of those four words in your vocabulary bank to arrive at the correct answer and Nui just hasn\'t had enough exposure to English.</p>\n<h3>Honesty was the best policy</h3>\n<p>I once worked at a private language school in the middle of an affluent Sukhumwit neighborhood. Not a week went by when we didn\'t get a worried parent coming into the reception, dragging their offspring behind them, and saying &lsquo;help! My son (or daughter) needs to pass a university entrance English exam and it\'s just ten days away (or something equally ridiculous)\'</p>\n<p>It used to drive the Thai owner of the language school crazy. The owner was a very educated lady who had lived and worked most of her life in The UK. She knew that accepting a parent\'s money and promising miracles was unethical. She also knew it would put pressure on the foreign teacher handed the task of transforming someone from entrance exam no-hoper to a competent, intermediate level English student.</p>\n<p>Never one to mince her words, the school owner would look the parent straight in the eyes and say &lsquo;sorry, this is not a problem you can just throw money at\'. I always respected her for that.</p>\n<h3>Help!</h3>\n<p>I often wonder if Thais are unique with this crazy, last-minute approach to exams and tests. Do other student nationalities run around the room with their hair on fire whenever an important test date looms large?  Or do they simply not realize how much time and effort is involved in learning a language and progressing through the different levels of competence?</p>\n<p>I\'ve been studying Thai seriously for the past three years and I know exactly where I\'m at. I know full well how many hours a day I would need to put in if I wanted to pass a Thai speaking test. And I would feel no shame in putting my hands up and admitting a test was beyond me if that were the case. You can\'t rely on miracles. Your English (or Thai) is either good enough or it isn\'t.</p>\n<p>To me this is just basic common sense.</p>\n<h3>You need a Thai teacher, not me</h3>\n<p>However, what irks me most is how the native speaking English teacher is viewed as the ultimate key to test-taking success. Spend a few hours with a teacher whose mother tongue is English and passing the exam will be a breeze.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it doesn\'t work like that and having just spent a couple of hours with Nui, going over mock tests in the comfort of my living room, I was reminded that what Nui really needs is a Thai teacher.</p>\n<p>He needs a Thai teacher who is an expert in test-taking strategy. He needs a Thai teacher who can explain how to quickly locate the main topic of a reading passage or what CANNOT be inferred about birds that migrate south in the Winter. He needs a Thai teacher to highlight issues with subject-verb agreement and all that jazz.</p>\n<p>He needs a Thai teacher who can explain all of those things in his OWN language. What he doesn\'t need are miracles from an English native speaker like me.</p>','','2017-02-13 02:37:59',1,'2017-02-13 02:37:59','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31772,99,'How to motivate your students','how-to-motivate-your-students','From using humor and surprise to employing reward structures','Boredom grows from predictability. An occasional taste of the unexpected will make everyone\'s learning experience more enjoyable.','<p>Here are some ideas on how to motivate and get the most from your students.</p>\n<p><strong>Culturally Relevant Material</strong></p>\n<p>Link your English Language content to your students\' culture. Get students to create posters about various festivals like Loy Kratong and Songkran. Use flashcards that contain material relevant to daily student life experiences.</p>\n<p>Concepts like \"cold shower\" and \"sharing a bedroom\" will have more meaning to Thai students than just \"shower\" or \"bedroom\". Providing relevant material amplifies students motivation whilst inspiring more energetic discussions concerning the ideas suggested in your vocabulary presentations.</p>\n<p>The same goes for warmers! Keep them relevant to student experiences! A highly effective warmer asks students to describe what they have eaten at breakfast or lunch. Practice the future tense by asking them what they would like to have for dinner. Don\'t forget to advance your students from saying yummy to delicious!</p>\n<p><strong>Humour and Surprise</strong></p>\n<p>Inject as much fun as possible into the framework of your lesson plan. Use comedy whilst teaching but take care to retain the composure of a confident leader. Diligent lesson planning allows you to enjoy a good laugh with your students whilst keeping learning on a purposeful course.</p>\n<p>Humour is easily created by imbibing any emotion or mime you are teaching with extra zeal. If you are teaching the word \"fear\" then act and behave as if you are absolutely terrified. If you are teaching \"excited\" then be overcome with delight and react as if you have just won the Thai lottery. Arrest the attention of your students and motivate them to enunciate the next vocabulary word with increased vigour in expectation of viewing your next wacky interpretation!</p>\n<p>Keep your students on their toes by surprising them with unusual rewards. Give a heartfelt congratulation to a student who has just performed a massive yawn and say \"congratulations for the most beautiful yawn of the day.\" Just say the Thai word for yawn (which is \"how\" with a rising tone), and mime the act of yawning whilst keeping your mouth covered with your hand. The children will laugh and refocus on the lesson.</p>\n<p>Boredom grows from predictability, an occasional taste of the unexpected will make everyone\'s learning experience more enjoyable.</p>\n<p><strong>Be Generous With Positive Attention</strong></p>\n<p>Give extra attention to trouble makers and absentees!</p>\n<p>Unruly behaviour is often a disguised plea for attention. Many of your Thai students may only see their parents intermittently. Seize the opportunity to motivate and fill the attention void! Go out of your way and warmly praise any type of positive input they make to the class. Get the class to clap them if they speak some English or perform an instruction correctly.</p>\n<p>Once the student recognises that they will get the attention they need in your English class then they will try harder. It is one of the most rewarding feelings in teaching, when a former truant attends more regularly, or when a troublesome noise-maker starts to utilise their vocal talents by calling out vocabulary.</p>\n<p><strong>Establish Career Goals</strong></p>\n<p>Getting students to establish a career goal is a great motivational strategy. Take the opportunity to ask students about their career aspirations when you encounter them in more personal situations, such as in the playground, library or with early-comers to your classroom. Students may feel more comfortable discussing their ideas about their future when away from whole class attention.</p>\n<p>A useful way to get students to discuss career options is to perform an in-class survey. Just put up six different careers on the board and get each student to vote for the career that they like the best. After the survey is completed you can begin a discussion about the most favoured career and encourage them to talk about other things they would like to do after school.</p>\n<p>Once a student describes a career aspiration that they have then you can use this to align your English material to their goals. Keep reminding these students to stay focused on their career targets and continuously emphasise the importance of English in making their career target a reality. Your motivated students have now created their own genuine reason to study English.</p>\n<p><strong>Classroom Poster</strong></p>\n<p>Work with your students and create a bold poster that lists some great reasons to study English. Pertinent reasons include improved employment opportunities, a greater use and understanding of the internet , an improved capacity to comprehend international current affairs and a greater opportunity to enjoy travel and overseas study. Encourage your students to talk with relatives and friends that have lived and studied in English speaking countries.</p>\n<p>Use your poster as a warmer and get your early bird students to read out the reasons when they arrive, or if your lesson finishes early have the students read out the poster as a class before they leave.</p>\n<p><strong>Employ a Reward Structure</strong></p>\n<p>Use games, music and videos to motivate students in applying themselves to the more demanding aspects of language learning. As they grapple with grammar, waver with a worksheet or chatter during a dialogue recital, remind them that they will be able to listen to a song, or play a favourite classroom game when the current activity is completed. This will inspire the students to complete the task and motivate the early finishers to assist their peers.</p>\n<p>Reward structures that involve gifts of small candies, stickers or a points scheme for a small prize are excellent motivational strategies. A judicial administration of classroom reward distribution has great motivational power.</p>\n<p>Thai students are extremely competitive so if you employ an accumulative reward system based on points, toy currency or stickers, then you will motivate them on two dimensions. On one hand they will try to get the stickers to obtain the prize, and on the other, they will try to get more stickers than there peers. You can arrange the duration of your reward scheme as you deem most appropriate, whether it be weekly, monthly or even just at the end of term.</p>\n<p>If you lack teaching experience then using an effective reward scheme is a great way to get students motivated whilst you are developing your own pedagogical skill set. As you gain experience you are sure to discover and master a variety of strategies to keep your English Language Learners motivated!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Enjoyed the blog?

','It\'s painful to watch teachers model themselves on the teachers they specifically didn\'t like - a case of \"Okay you lot, if you aren\'t going to listen, I\'ll do what Mr. D used to do to us in form 1. I hated that I was becoming Mr. D with my own students.  ','<p>In an earlier blog I discussed how insightful it can be to <a href=\"/blogs/stephen-louw/teachers-in-the-movies\">watch teachers in movies</a>. I recently came across an entire series based around a teacher. The series, and the teacher who is the lead character, is called Mr. D. I suspect the suggestive reference in the name is intentional, and he lives up (or down) to it.</p>\n<p>Mr. D epitomizes bad teaching in every conceivable way, and gets himself into the most unbelievably embarrassing situations. <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Q4gLcujsY\">Have a peek</a>, and hats off to you if you don\'t cringe.</p>\n<p>It\'s funny, but I find it hard to watch. The writers of this series must have had great fun thinking up what the most reprobate teacher in a modern school may be able to get away with. I suppose it couldn\'t have been that difficult, given that we all come across terrible teachers from time to time. Right?</p>\n<h3>A negative role model</h3>\n<p>The worst teacher I can remember also had a name beginning with D, so I\'ll call him Mr. D too. He was a teacher I had in my first year of secondary school. It was a prestigious private all-boys school that followed the old formal British colonial way of educating a country\'s elite: lots of discipline, heavy on etiquette, stand-up-when-you-are-spoken-to-yes-sir. All that stuff.</p>\n<p>My Mr. D. took this to the limit. He was ruthless, and I lived in unmitigated fear of him. He missed nothing, and ran his classroom with an iron fist. When he taught, we had to sit with both feet on the floor, hands on our tables, in silence. We then copied from the board, word-for-word, the history of Ancient Greece or Latin declensions or whatever the topic of the day was.</p>\n<p>In his class, fear turned me into a first class idiot. Whatever he taught I failed to learn, but from his classes I got a healthy dose of discipline, and a tremendous appreciation for my other teachers. His technique? Never violence: Mr D. was brilliant at focused humiliation. Bad copying, or a poorly phrased question, become the focus of general ridicule. To him, we were all cretins waiting for an opportunity to show our true colors.</p>\n<p>When I decided that I was going to be a teacher, I knew that I very definitely didn\'t want to be a teacher like Mr. D.</p>\n<h3>Early failures</h3>\n<p>It doesn\'t really matter what we decide to do in our hours of leisure as we contemplate the ideals of education; pressure and crisis unravels the best of intentions. A class of restless teenagers is a challenge for which even the most thorough training cannot adequately prepare a fledgling teacher.</p>\n<p>To make matters worse, in my inexperienced enthusiasm and zeal, I had this unreasonably stupid conception that a teacher must always maintain control and discipline. As my classrooms started falling apart around me, and the techniques of my training left me stranded, I found myself turning to memories of what had worked on me when I was that age.</p>\n<p>After all, if my teachers had succeeded with these strategies, why couldn\'t I? And in my most troubled teaching moments, who did I find most useful as a role model, but Mr. D.! I was becoming the teacher I promised myself I\'d never be.</p>\n<h3>Vicious cycles</h3>\n<p>The tendency for us to do to others what has been done to us is nothing new. Children of alcoholic parents are thought to have the tendency to become alcoholics; and victims of child abuse to become child abusers. Such thinking forms the basis of at least some approaches to modern clinical psychology, and these cycles are part of our folk culture. People nod sagely when they hear that the local drug addict comes from a broken home: \'Only to be expected\' you can almost hear them thinking.</p>\n<p>In this blog, I mentioned that the tendency for teachers to teach as they were taught is called the <a href=\"/blogs/stephen-louw/a-cog-in-the-wheel\">\'apprenticeship of observation\'</a>. The term was introduced in Dan Lortie\'s 1975 <a href=\"https://www.essr.net/~jafundo/mestrado_material_itgjkhnld/SP/Culturas%20e%20identidades%20profissionais/Hargreaves_%20presentismo,%20individualismo.pdf\">sociological study of school teachers</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.essr.net/~jafundo/mestrado_material_itgjkhnld/SP/Culturas%20e%20identidades%20profissionais/Hargreaves_%20presentismo,%20individualismo.pdf\"></a>Until then, successful teaching was seen to be an outcome of theoretically sound methodology or well-thought through curricula. The teacher was simply a tool for its successful implementation. Lortie\'s study explored how teachers themselves are an essential part of the teaching and learning apparatus.</p>\n<p>Like everyone else, teachers spend 16 years of their lives in classrooms of some sort. Lortie estimates that the average teacher has at least 13,000 hours in direct contact with teachers by the time they begin their teaching career.</p>\n<p>There is no other career where a beginner gets anywhere near that number of hours of observation before beginning practice. In addition, these are not passive hours - students (and our would-be teachers) are interacting with the teachers they are observing, making active judgements about what they see. Universally, even small children can accurately portray what teachers say and do.</p>\n<h3>Effective apprenticeships?</h3>\n<p>The apprenticeship means that beginner teachers move into the field with a huge amount of knowledge about teaching. With 13,000 hours of observation, beginner teachers have accrued some very strong (and sometimes troublesome) convictions about how teaching works. This body of knowledge comes from powerful role models, and the techniques a teacher is exposed to during the apprenticeship become fundamentally familiar, and thus \'normal\' at some level. This apprenticeship, therefore, has the potential to interfere with what teachers take from a training program - especially if the training contradicts their own learning experiences.</p>\n<p>It\'s painful to watch teachers model themselves on the teachers they specifically didn\'t like - a case of \"Okay you lot, if you aren\'t going to listen, I\'ll do what Mr. D used to do to us in form 1\" instead of thinking about the three possible solutions to a classroom standoff outlined in Steve\'s handout on classroom management from day 14 of the course.</p>\n<p>I hated that I was becoming Mr. D with my own students. Who would want to be Mr. D.!? When I read Lortie\'s ideas, I was pleased that this was not a specifically Steve problem.

Screaming, giggling and endless rattling will cease.</p>\n<p>It was the last day of school.  Final exam was done and so was their graduation.  I asked my students to take home their books, toothbrushes, sandals, worksheets, projects, and anything that belonged to them.  They made more rattles and laughter as they checked what they had accumulated during the entire year.  I was quietly watching the commotion. I completely remembered how we began as a class. Then varied emotions flowed up on me more than the resonance of their small voices.  \"What had I achieved as a teacher, as a class?\"  \"What had I given them? What had they taught me for the past year?\"  So many moments of ups and downs, sheer joy and triumphs, but there were things I wish I could have done better.</p>\n<h3>More opportunities</h3>\n<p>I wish I had created more opportunities to develop their confidence in speaking the English language outside the comfort of our classroom.  I was surprised when one of the mothers expressed her frustration over her child\'s English speaking ability.  What made her speak to me like English wasn\'t a problem than replying to her Mom in a simple word?  My students weren\'t scared to ask questions, share ideas, and answer questions inside the classroom. But, it wasn\'t the case when they were away from the classroom.  The reasons could be overlooked learning goals, student\'s confidence, uncertainty, and others. But, I wish I could have done better.</p>\n<p>I wish I was more organized in planning and achieving practical learning activities, made time for students who needed more help, explored art, music, and other areas.  I was told I should teach through exploration but at the end of the day, I was still asked for worksheets and finished workbooks.  Were there ways to plan more effectively?</p>\n<p>I wish I had contested the idea of play.  I am a play advocate among children.  A lot of learning takes place during play.  Play teaches children to resolve issues, a way of comfort, and helps them develop affinity to learning.   My students play time ceased as I was told, \"Children miss something if they play. They should practice writing\".  I wish I had reasoned better.</p>\n<h3>Colleagues as friends</h3>\n<p>I wish I had connected more with my colleagues.  I couldn\'t like everybody, but most of the time in a workplace, one is asked to be nice, courteous and be a good team player.  Whatever my preferences and personal views are, colleagues are always a great help at times when you need them most. I believe most people aspire to do a good job.  I wish I had talked more to them.</p>\n<p>I wish I had learnt more Thai language.  Language connects you to anything - be it to parents, colleagues, food, and culture?  It isn\'t a necessity to survive, but surely it will go with me a long way.  Also, I like seeing my students with amused faces whenever they hear me speak a word in Thai.</p>\n<h3>Meeting parents</h3>\n<p>I wish I had created avenues to connect with parents.  There were a lot of times when I wanted to give them firsthand information of their child\'s progress or simply to ask how they were.  But most often, we just settled on being nice.</p>\n<p>Lastly, I wish I had told my students more often that they were special and loved every day.  Time was scheduled and so things had to be accomplished.  Most of the time, I was too occupied with each lesson, looking after them - who was behaving and not; and make sure that they wouldn\'t go home untidy or injured.  I wish I had told them love more than anything else.</p>\n<p>It takes one to know how self-reflection is hard.  It requires honesty to get things done for the better.  I may be feeling inefficient in some ways, but I take comfort from what Pope John XII said, \"Men are like wine - some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.\"&nbsp;</p>\n<p>An hour to go, my students know that the next time they enter a classroom, it will be theirs, but with someone else. As for me, I will remain a teacher and I will do better.</p>','','2017-03-08 02:49:47',1,'2017-03-08 02:49:47','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31801,10,'The art of teacher recruitment','the-art-of-teacher-recruitment','Take it seriously - or find someone else to manage the hiring.','It\'s that time of year - the busy hiring season - when I genuinely feel sorry for many Thai admin or management staff who are coerced into having to recruit foreign teachers to work at far-flung institutes for very average salaries.','<p>\"Dear Teacher, can you come work in (insert name of town in the middle of nowhere) I have very nice job for you. Please let me know if you are interesting\"</p>\n<p>It\'s that time of year - the busy hiring season - when I genuinely feel sorry for many Thai admin or management staff who are coerced into having to recruit foreign teachers to work at far-flung institutes for very average salaries. Place a job ad on the internet, sit back, cross your fingers - and hope for the best.</p>\n<p>As if attracting quality teachers from an ever-diminishing pool wasn\'t difficult enough already, very often these recruiters simply aren\'t up to the task and really do need serious guidance.</p>\n<h3>Take it seriously</h3>\n<p>In what seems like a lifetime ago now, I was handed the responsibility of recruiting fifty native-English speaking teachers for positions in Kuwait. The salary and benefits package on offer was decent but nothing spectacular for that part of the world.</p>\n<p>I quickly learned that whether you are looking for five teachers or fifty, recruitment becomes a full-time job. You have to take it seriously. It\'s not something you just slot into your tea-breaks.</p>\n<p>First off, teachers always have lots of questions. And that\'s perfectly understandable when they are making such a huge life-changing decision to move to a new school in perhaps a new city or new country.</p>\n<p>How long is the contract? Will I get paid for school holidays and down time? How large are the classes? Will the school pay work permit and visa costs? The list of potential questions is endless.</p>\n<p>But that\'s just the tip of the recruitment iceberg. You have to schedule interview appointments and let teachers know where and when that interview will take place, You need to provide clear directions on how to get there. Sometimes you have to re-schedule those appointments when last-minute problems arise.</p>\n<p>There are documents to be checked, resumes to be picked over, references to be called and finally, suitability to be ascertained.</p>\n<p>Applicants who are rejected need to be told politely and professionally why they didn\'t meet the requirements. For those teachers who successfully attend interviews, the recruiter needs to keep track of them in that crucial period between a teacher accepting a position and actually starting work. It\'s during this period that a teacher\'s plans can change. As a recruiter, you don\'t want to be left with a no show on the first day of term.</p>\n<h3>Communication is key</h3>\n<p>Of course, all of the above are just a few reasons why many schools have handed recruitment over to teacher agencies but disappointingly I\'ve found that when it comes to communication during the hiring process, agencies are often no better. And it\'s all about communication.</p>\n<p>When a Thai recruiter e-mails me for advice and I can instantly see their written English is suspect, I often suggest they enlist the help of one of their foreign teaching staff. Someone to help with drafting job ads that give enough information to at least make the vacancy seem relatively attractive. Someone to answer an applicant\'s questions and keep on top of the whole process. And why not pay them extra for doing that job? It seems like a no-brainer to me.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, my advice goes by and large ignored and the Thai recruiter just struggles on. I wonder if by asking for help it\'s that Asian loss of face rearing its head once more?</p>\n<p>This is a true story. I know one recruiter who checks her e-mail once a week between the hour of 9.00 am and 10.00 am. And that\'s it! If you contact her at five minutes past ten, you\'ll wait seven days for a reply. That\'s the way she does things and I guarantee she will never change. It just isn\'t good enough is it?&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>The Chinese way</h3>\n<p>A number of years ago, I partnered with a well-known chain of schools in China to recruit teachers from Thailand. The company in China knew that Thailand was a potential hotbed of teaching talent perhaps looking for a change of scenery and the opportunity to make more money. In reality, the package they were offering was only 20%-30% more than a teacher would earn in Thailand. I knew from the start I had my work cut out.</p>\n<p>However, I fulfilled my side of the obligations. I interviewed a number of teachers over an eight-week period. I tracked that recruitment process every step of the way and kept meticulous records on excel spreadsheets. I was upfront about the downsides of the job and answered all questions honestly. In fact, I &lsquo;discouraged\' any teacher from taking the job if I felt they wouldn\'t last the distance - for their sake as much as mine.</p>\n<p>When I\'d completed my part of the hiring process, I then handed over all the information to the company in China and put the ball in their court. And it was at this stage that things would all fall apart. The company took an age - far, far too long - to get back to the teacher in Thailand and keep the momentum going. Quality teachers became impatient and disgruntled, eventually getting back to me and saying \"sorry Phil, I\'m going to look elsewhere. I just lack confidence in this company to look after its teachers\" - and I didn\'t blame them for making that decision.</p>\n<p>After a frustrating couple of months as a recruitment partner, I said enough was enough and walked away. I couldn\'t keep letting teachers down.</p>\n<p>And every person involved at the Chinese end - every person that was supposed to work with me to make the hiring process go as smoothly as possible - was a Westerner.</p>\n<p>Recruitment.

My mum was chuffed... and surprised! I assume my dad was pleased, too - he was in the pub! A few weeks later, I was bundled off to boarding school and promptly forgotten about.</p>\n<p>Maw and Paw took me back for the holidays and gave me food and stuff, which was nice, but it was clear to me that from an early age, I\'d be teaching myself how to make a success of life.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2017 and I\'m sitting with the rest of my co-workers taking part in graduation day for the prathom 6 students that I have been teaching since they left kindergarten six years earlier.</p>\n<h3>The day unfolds</h3>\n<p>The day starts off with everyone assembling in the playgrounds and common areas of the school at around 8 o clock. There are meals and snacks available if you want it. It\'s a good opportunity for students and staff to catch up. Kids from previous graduations wai and acknowledge me, but they don\'t stop and say \"hello\" as their English hasn\'t progressed since I last taught them. In most cases it\'s RE-gressed!</p>\n<p>At 9:30, the teachers all take their seats at the back of the arena, the VIPs and school admins take the comfy seats at the front and the prathom 6 students start trickling in to accept their expensive looking graduation folders and have their photo taken. (It\'s the only photo the students will have to look back on, where they aren\'t making ridiculous hand gestures!)</p>\n<p>In other parts of the school; visitors, parents and other family members mill around drinking water, take photos and peer in over the proceedings to make sure nobody has fainted.</p>\n<h3>An activity-packed day</h3>\n<p>I was hopeful that this performance would be over in an hour or so and that I could get out of the relentless heat, but I was wrong. There\'s a lot more to this day than just a \'photo op\'. There are speeches by principals and owners of the school. There are motivational videos and other videos on how to deal with bullying and cyberbullying. There are special commendations for the \'head boys and girls\' and other students who have over-performed over the previous year.</p>\n<p>This was all a far cry from the almost total abandonment that I had been through nearly 50 years earlier and as I sat at the back of the arena watching these events unfold it occurred to me that it\'s worth highlighting the good things that happen in Thai schools...</p>\n<p>There is much to mock about the academic system here in Thailand but the school does have a few things going for it.</p>\n<h3>East v West</h3>\n<p>Firstly, unlike the West, there isn\'t an epidemic of junior suicides! Kids aren\'t swinging off trees or wrapping the net curtains around their throats in their bedrooms. There\'s a social inclusiveness in Thailand that stops this from happening and it\'s taught from an early age.There is absolutely NO bullying going on at all. It just wouldn\'t be acceptable and anyone who tried it on would soon be \'outed\' and set straight.</p>\n<p>Schooling is stress-free. In the West, students and teachers actively hate school and want to avoid it as much as possible. In Thailand, it\'s a non-stop party with some lessons thrown in. Kids and staff like being here!</p>\n<p>Students are applauded and rewarded for the good things that they do in many effective ways. Now, you may think that there\'s not much point to all this, but kids yearn to be acknowledged and appreciated... even when they probably don\'t deserve it! It\'s part of what creates \'good people\' and it\'s one thing that Thailand is good at doing.</p>\n<h3>Getting it right</h3>\n<p>In my view, there is the correct balance of intrusion and encouragement when it comes to junior school. In Taiwan and Japan, they are just fanatical about studying and in the West, we\'re almost at the point where we\'ve given up caring. Thailand seems to have a nice balance... the parents, teachers and the government care and are involved but they aren\'t crazy-ape-shit bonkers about it!</p>\n<p>\"No child left behind!\" may not have academic application in \'The Land Of Smiles\' but it does apply socially. It might be worth thinking about that as the new year starts in May...</p>\n<p>When you get frustrated because kids aren\'t learning as much as you are teaching - maybe there\'s more to life and school than just your lesson plans!</p>\n<p>Enjoy the summer break, fellow chalkies!</p>','','2017-03-15 20:04:54',1,'2017-03-15 20:04:54','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31812,85,'Two very special students','two-very-special-students','The challenges of adapting your teaching for \'different\' class members','Perhaps the most challenging bit of customization I\'ve needed to perform as a teacher has been my recent experience teaching a couple of remarkable students.

Giving colored pencils to a class of lawyers in a legal English class and asking them to draw their favorite monster isn\'t such a great idea, pedagogically speaking.  Neither would asking a group of 11 year olds to have a classroom debate over the ethics of capital punishment.</p>\n<h3>Plenty of experience</h3>\n<p>I\'m approaching the end of my fourth year doing this job. During that time, I\'ve been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to teach a very wide range of learners. I\'ve taught in an all-boys Bangkok government school in front of 50 howling 7th graders. I\'ve taught groups of doctors, lawyers, civil servants and soldiers. Mostly, for these last three years, I\'ve taught mixed classes of adults with many different kinds of individual students and individual needs.</p>\n<p>\"A monk, a nun and a bored housewife walk into an English class...\" not the set up of a joke; that\'s my Wednesday and Thursday afternoon pre-intermediate group.</p>\n<p>Perhaps the most challenging bit of customization I\'ve needed to perform as a teacher has been my recent experience teaching a couple of remarkable students. These two were mixed in with the typical variety of adults we get here at my Yangon language school, i.e., mostly young adults with a sprinkling of more mature learners. My job would have been easier had they not been in the class; each made the standard work in pairs and discuss communicative approach more challenging. As a result, the successes each of these students had made me feel that much more satisfied as a teacher.</p>\n<h3>Challenging students</h3>\n<p>The first was a young Burmese lady, about 18 years old, who happened to have cerebral palsy (CP). As the gentle reader probably knows, CP primarily affects muscle coordination and body movement, not cognitive ability. Those with CP are just as capable of learning a foreign language as any fully-abled person. Her oral coordination, her ability to speak, was significantly impacted, even in her L1.</p>\n<p>She communicated by typing onto her iPad, and did so using her toes. As she felt more comfortable on the floor, we pushed the tables out a bit  and she sat on a mat between them. Although she didn\'t speak often, she could speak. On many occasions, I would ask a difficult question to the open class, inviting anyone to answer, and after an awkward silence, no one quite confident enough to speak up, the special needs students would shout out the correct answer in her unique way.</p>\n<p>There were other challenges as well. I think it\'s important to include a certain amount TPR activities in my lesson plan, and whereas I was tempted to forgo them for the sake of one student, it is possible to find ways to include differently-abled students into these games and activities.</p>\n<p>Mostly, I assigned her a surrogate to do the physical part, and the other students were always gracious and accommodating in taking on that role. Alas, I only got to teach her for one term, but it was quite rewarding. She plans to study to become a roboticist. She wants to create machines to do the things her body won\'t let her do.</p>\n<h3>A common learning difficulty</h3>\n<p>The second anecdote I\'d like to share is my experience teaching a student with an increasingly common learning difficulty: autism. Again, this young man in his late teens was in a class with a dozen other of his peers here in Yangon. And again, similar to CP, autism doesn\'t necessarily impede one\'s ability to learn a foreign language. In fact, in his written work, he did very well.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as conditions on the autism spectrum significantly affect social skills, it was very difficult to match him up with fellow students for pair work. On one occasion, another student actually requested a new partner as this guy wouldn\'t communicate. He became bored extremely easily. Given a student-centered activity like a worksheet, he just wouldn\'t do it unless I stood behind him, hovering in a way.</p>\n<p>The reason this was so difficult for me personally was that these behaviors reminded me greatly of how the weaker teenage boys at that Bangkok government school used to act. I couldn\'t tell how much of his behavior was due to his condition and how much was just bad behavior from an impatient youth who probably didn\'t want to be there in the first place, which isn\'t a common attitude we find at our relatively expensive private language school.</p>\n<p>Ultimately, I learned that I had turn up the energy level in the classroom to 11 in order to keep him even remotely engaged. Normally, it would be less than ideal having an odd number of students, thus requiring some pairwork to be done in a group of three. In that particular class, I was happy to put him in a group of three. I didn\'t want to force him to do things he wasn\'t comfortable doing nor did I want to penalize another paying student by putting them with someone who refused to talk. Again, I had to understand his and others\' needs and adjust the classroom to fit them.</p>\n<p>Do you have any stories of teaching English to special needs students?

Nowadays it\'s about half desire and half experience.','<p>Leaving aside the situation in Thailand for a moment, what makes a good teacher? I mean \"good teacher\" in the academic sense of the word (educator) and not the practical way we, as teachers, manage to fit in with our surroundings (employee)</p>\n<h3>The pie chart</h3>\n<p>To simplify the answer, I propose we measure the capability of teachers through a combination of three determining factors...</p>\n<p><strong>1 - Desire<br />2 - Experience<br />3 - Training</strong></p>\n<p>In other words... to be a \"good teacher\" you have to want it, you have to know it and you have to be able to relate it to others!</p>\n<p>If this were a pie chart, how big would each piece of the pie be in your situation?</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/piechart.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p><strong>Desire:</strong> How much do you want to be in a classroom?<br /><strong>Experience:</strong> How well do you know your subject?<br /><strong>Training:</strong> How well can you relate what you know to your students?</p>\n<h3>Both sides of the fence</h3>\n<p>In Thailand, there is a very common cry among many committed farang teachers, that their lack of academic achievement cuts them off from opportunities which they feel they would excel at if given the chance. I tend to agree with them. There is a shortage of capable and willing teachers and in an ideal world, we\'d be judged on our merits as well as bits of paper picked up in our past lives.</p>\n<p>Conversely, there is a screaming wall of indignation from properly trained teachers. \'Real\' teachers who can prove their worth by virtue of past academic exercises and achievements. And they too have a sound argument. Would you ask a hospital porter to take your tonsils out?</p>\n<p>No matter which side of the fence you are on, the desire to teach is the only piece of the pie that we all start off with. When we judge other teachers based on their experience and/or training, the \'desire factor\' rates up there as just as important. It\'s my opinion that you cannot be an effective educator unless you want to be an effective educator.</p>\n<h3>In a changing world.</h3>\n<p>In the past, education and training were revered. In my youth, it was a significant achievement to go to university and get a degree. These days, there are so many graduates, that the reverence for formal education has diminished. In fact, four years of study may be a handicap in today\'s world! Many employers can see past academic trophies when it comes to knowing what\'s good for their businesses.</p>\n<p>Additionally, in the past, employees stuck with their jobs for a lot longer. That world is no more as people flit around the job market like humming birds in a spring garden!</p>\n<h3>Corporate culture club.</h3>\n<p>The institution of teaching is a career path that has a foundation cemented in education and training... except in Thailand. There is an egalitarian philosophy in The Land Of Smiles which leaves room for everyone. No matter what your personal pie chart looks like, if you\'re willing, you\'ll find work as a teacher. Flitting from job to job is allowed and usually expected, if not always welcome!</p>\n<p>When you are looking for work in Thailand you must first know who you are and recognize honestly what you are offering to employers. Different employers have different work cultures. Knowing where and how you fit into any work environment is imperative.</p>\n<p>The world worships youth and in that regard, Thailand is no different. Many schools, universities and businesses will happily train up inexperienced young people. They are cheap and malleable. Other employers have decided that a culture of experience will work better for them. There\'s no need to teach an old dog anything, right? Once again, it\'s a matter of how you fit into that working environment.</p>\n<h3>How delicious is your pie?</h3>\n<p>There is merit in education and training as much as there is value in experience and knowledge. The often mean-spirited superiority of one over the other has consumed message boards ever since I\'ve been in Thailand.</p>\n<p>For many commentators, there is no gray area: You shouldn\'t be in a classroom unless you have been trained to be there or you shouldn\'t be touting your training/education as validation of your teaching proficiency.</p>\n<p>In reality, these extreme views are impractical. It\'s true that proper training will give you a headstart but no-one is left out in the cold... not in Thailand. The only asset we all start out with is a desire to teach... everything else comes later. When we\'re young, the value of our desire to teach is the most important piece of the pie. It alone determines our future education and our eventual experience.</p>\n<p>Then again, perhaps (like me) you got your calling later in life. Experience is all I have!</p>\n<p>When I lost my cherry to teaching, my pie was all desire. Nowadays it\'s about half desire and half experience. I\'ve picked it up over time and now I\'m good at it. I\'ve also learned to have fun with the opinions of people who don\'t know me... and that\'s the custard on top!</p>','','2017-03-21 20:28:15',1,'2017-03-21 20:28:15','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31820,99,'Experience is often the best teacher','experience-is-often-the-best-teacher','How can I improve my teaching practice next year?','One great idea that I picked up from a colleague this year was to invest in a laminating machine. You can pick one up for around 2,000 baht at sites like Lazada. Lamination effectively safeguards the durability and presentation of my teaching materials.','<p>The school year in Thailand is reaching its conclusion so in this blog I will share some insights with the aim of improving my teaching practice next year.</p>\n<h3>Speak Slowly and Check for Understanding</h3>\n<p>Developing a conscious awareness of my speaking speed and modifying it to suit my students was a major skill that I needed to develop. Gradually I learnt to convey English instruction slowly and clearly whilst continually ask students to verify their understanding.</p>\n<p>My own experience in learning Thai is similar, listening is a difficult skill to master and I often haven to ask my Thai interlocutors to \"speak more slowly please.\"</p>\n<p>Often I would encourage an enthusiastic student to the front and get them to teach the students by repeating the same concepts. This was fun for the students and gave the \"new teacher\" confidence as they addressed the whole class. Any form of student to student learning is beneficial and assists in overcoming shyness.</p>\n<h3>Build a Collection of Effective Games and Activities</h3>\n<p>Having plenty of effective games and activities that keep the students interested is your best strategy to maintain successful, non-confrontational classroom management. Constantly peruse the internet and collaborate with other teachers to expand your arsenal of effective activities.</p>\n<p>Be willing to experiment and don\'t be afraid to introduce a new game. Just explain a new game with plenty of gestures and take it slowly, slowly. Once the students understand the game they will enjoy playing it, and if it takes a while to get the game going then all the better.</p>\n<p>When I was teaching some huge classes last year, (I had one group of 76 students), I found that bringing some small soccer-balls was a great aid. The balls could be used in a variety of games as learning tools and as a reward for good behaviour.</p>\n<p>Creating a collection of effective realia was also a great winner for me. Large toy animals, weapons and vehicles effectively kept the students entertained and attentive. I also cut out three sets of the alphabet with individual cards from A-Z and used them in a variety of games that helped increase participation from K1 right through to P6.</p>\n<h3>Laminating Machine</h3>\n<p>A great idea that I picked up from a colleague this year was to invest in a laminating machine. You can pick one up for around 2,000 baht at sites like Lazada. Lamination effectively safeguards the durability and presentation of my teaching materials. Knowing that I can laminate classroom material makes my preparation more rewarding and worthwhile. Hopefully when I am ready to take on that next job interview my array of laminated teaching materials will impress my prospective employer.</p>\n<h3>Smile with the Radiance of a Beaming Sun</h3>\n<p>On many occasions while working at school I was reminded of the almost mandatory importance of emanating a sprightly and cheerful countenance. Your constantly beaming face should be constructed with a jocund stoicism as you deal with the unexpected obstacles that are cast upon your teaching ventures in Thailand.</p>\n<p>I learnt throughout the year that professional communication in Thai schools occurs in a manner that differs widely from my experiences in Australia. This caused me to realise that argument and criticism, (no matter how positive the intention), were unwelcome and inappropriate methods of communication for a foreigner in a Thai staff room.</p>\n<p>Feeling at times like a Victorian child who \"is better seen but not heard\", I decided to adopt the attitude that, \"when in Rome do as the Romans do.\" Thus my strategy was to glow with a jovial smile and avoid involvement in criticism pertaining to issues occurring in the school environment. This was the best way for me to cope with frustration, but also developed my ambition to seek a school more suitable to my teaching personality.</p>\n<h3>Set Your Own Criteria</h3>\n<p>As I deeply respect many aspects of Thailand\'s fascinating culture and wish to continue teaching here, I decided to assess my own criteria for what I wanted from the school environment. I concluded that as I am passionate about delivering effective learning outcomes for my students that I needed to clarify some important prerequisites. I would advise any teacher mulling over the decision to continue teaching in Thailand to do the same.</p>\n<h3>English Friendly Schools</h3>\n<p>Firstly consider the way English is treated at your school. With a view to next year, take advantage of the experience you have gained, and seek a contract at a school that values your passion and expertise. Schools who have Thai English teachers who are more confident and outgoing when interacting with Western teachers are a definite plus.</p>\n<p>Another good indicator is the presence of English around the school. Are there a lot of English materials on display in the English language classrooms? Are the students encouraged to speak and listen to English at assemblies and on other important school occasions like sporting carnivals and academic awards nights ?</p>\n<h3>Appropriate Student Age Groups</h3>\n<p>Another thing that you can control is selecting the age group that is most appropriate for you. If you feel a little bit uncomfortable in a Mathayom School, take an opportunity to work at a summer camp to discover if teaching Prathom or Kindergarten aged students would be more suitable.</p>\n<p>If you struggle to keep up with the high voltage energy of younger students then think about teaching adults in after school tuition or at a business language college.</p>\n<p>Personally, I prefer smaller class sizes so when I made my plans for this year I sought out a school where my preferences would be met. Rather than becoming overwhelmed with disgruntlement in regard to the Thai Educational System, you can take charge of your teaching destiny by finding a school that best suits your needs and teaching style.</p>\n<h3>Mutual Respect</h3>\n<p>Be willing to put in a bit of extra work with lesson planning and interact with students and staff as much as you can outside of the classroom. If you work in an environment where there is a degree of genuine mutual respect amongst the teachers then your teaching practice is bound to be more rewarding. Whilst we come from different cultures, all teachers should have at least one common goal, providing our students with the best educational opportunity, development and care that we possibly can.</p>\n<p>If you can\'t find such a school in Thailand then check out some of the <a href=\"/ajarn-street/the-great-escape\">interviews on ajarn.com</a> by teachers who have decided to teach in other countries.

How\'s it working out for you? Have you found a nice apartment yet? Scoped out all the cool places to buy coffee and street food? Fantastic. Welcome on board...','<p>Are you a new teacher in Thailand? How\'s it working out for you? Have you found a nice apartment yet? Scoped out all the cool places to buy coffee and street food? Fantastic. Welcome on board...</p>\n<p>Here are the ten reasons you are going to quit teaching English in Thailand and either go to China or return home.</p>\n<p><strong>10 - You showed up for work to find the school deserted because of a national holiday... AGAIN!</strong></p>\n<p>It would have been nice if someone had told you that the school would be closed on the \"holy floating a candle in the water\" day! But, oh, no. It never occurred to the smarmy pen-pushers in the office that you could have actually made plans for this extra time off... like getting properly boozed up the night before or getting on a bus to that buddha in a cave that you keep meaning to go and take photos of and post on Facebook</p>\n<p><strong>9 - The Irish teacher you work with called in sick... AGAIN!</strong></p>\n<p>A shitty colleague has called in sick again and you find yourself in his classes presiding over students you don\'t know or care about with materials you don\'t understand... and don\'t care about! Your whole day is screwed with back to back lessons and nobody has even bothered to summon up the effort to climb the stairs and say \'thank you\' for doing it.</p>\n<p><strong>8 - For whom the bell tolls! (It\'s 10:45... all the time!)</strong></p>\n<p>The cumulative mental anguish of looking at the clock on the wall of your classroom is starting to show. It seems to be stuck on quarter to eleven most of the time... even after lunch! Each slow, marching step of the second hand is another slap to your sanity. Half way through your last period of the day, the minute hand is actually going the wrong way... and it\'s only Monday!</p>\n<p><strong>7 - The sound of \"I go to shopping!\" makes your ears bleed and your mouth foam.</strong></p>\n<p>One of your best students, who you have been teaching for ages, can\'t answer a single question that starts with the word  \"Why...\". It occurs to you how little impact you have had on every other student you have taught and now you are asking yourself... \"Why?\"</p>\n<p><strong>6 - You have dreamed about killing the Filipino teacher... AGAIN!</strong></p>\n<p>That happy, smiling Filipino hire is the most efficient backstabber you\'ve ever met. Once again, she\'s managed to make you look bad in front of all the other teachers and once again, you can\'t quite figure out how she did it. You\'ve tried to be nice but earning more money than her is an unforgivable sin. You\'re on her personal shitlist till the end of time!</p>\n<p><strong>5 - You show up for the new school year and the textbooks have changed.</strong></p>\n<p>As part of the effort to keep you busy during the summer holidays, the school has asked that you come up with lesson plans for the upcoming year. You comply because eventually the mindless web surfing in a sweaty staffroom has numbed your brain and you need something to fill the void till half past three. Fast forward to the first day of the new school year, you notice that the textbooks are a slightly different shape and color. The red mist is forming in front of your eyes...</p>\n<p><strong>4 - You start reminiscing about your old job back home.</strong></p>\n<p>A class hasn\'t shown up because of a school trip you knew nothing about. The internet is down and you\'re in the staffroom alone with only the coffee stained \'Living\' section of the Bangkok Post to taunt you. It occurs to you that in your last job at home you could go to the lavvy whenever you felt like it. You could even stop working entirely and have a chat about last night\'s telly in the middle of the day! Not only that, sometimes you even left the building to have lunch outside!</p>\n<p><strong>3 - \"I once had my appendix taken out and now I\'m a surgeon!\"</strong></p>\n<p>Everyone\'s an armchair teacher. Everyone! The parents can do your job better than you. Your employers don\'t mind telling you that they can do it better, too. Even the most vague comment you post online about your life is an insult to the noble profession of teaching English in Thailand! But worst of all is the new hire who can do it better. This idiot is gonna crash and burn in a few months but you haven\'t the patience to wait and watch it happen!</p>\n<p><strong>2 - You\'re teaching zombies! (Imagination is a crime!)</strong></p>\n<p>They don\'t look like zombies and you haven\'t actually seen them eat brains... although that prison food you walk past at lunchtime does look pretty suspect! But everything else about the students is zombie-like. The noises they make, the slow shuffling from class to class, the way they slouch in their chairs, the glazed, dead look into their mobile phones... suddenly you are looking a bit too delicious! It\'s time to flee.</p>\n<p><strong>1 - ONET!</strong></p>\n<p>Someone sent you an internet link to sample ONET questions. You are reading them and thinking that it must be a joke. When it slowly dawns on you that it\'s not a joke and that it\'s absolutely painfully clear that NOBODY in Thailand gives a toss about educating children - THIS is the moment you say \'sayonara, stoopids\', pack your bags and bugger off. No wave goodbye, no last look over your shoulder... just a one-way ticket back to the world of being able to take a piss whenever you want to!</p>\n<p>I left a few things off this list to keep it short. Did I miss anything that happened to you? What was the final straw that sent you scrambling to the cheapest dodgy travel agent on Asoke?</p>','','2017-03-29 16:40:07',1,'2017-03-29 16:40:07','2017-03-30 06:06:08'),(31838,97,'Take the first job you can get','take-the-first-job-you-can-get','It\'s all about getting a foot in the door','There are \"Teachers in Thailand\" rooms that I belong to that say don\'t settle for anything less than 40K when it comes to a teaching job, and although I do agree with them, that\'s easier said than done.','<p>Take the first thing you can get, and THEN be picky.</p>\n<p>A person asked me a great question the other day. He said he\'s here in Bangkok, he\'s been given a job offer of 35,000 baht a month, but wanted to know if it\'s the norm.</p>\n<p><strong>Unfortunately yes it is. </strong></p>\n<p>But honestly, it\'s not that big of a deal.</p>\n<p>The guy I was speaking to said he\'s been a teacher for eight years and personally speaking, I get where he is coming from not wanting to get the same starting salary as someone with little to no experience.

He said, \"Take the first thing you can get, and THEN be picky.\" It was a brilliant point that can easily be applied to TEFL jobs, especially if you are applying for work from outside of Thailand.</p>\n<p><strong>What if the job sucks? </strong></p>\n<p>So what? Who cares? With most jobs there is generally a 60-day probationary period. That probation is more for the school to sell themselves to you, than for you to sell yourself to the school. During that time, if you don\'t like it, then you can leave pretty quickly. Just please be smart and try and find a new job before you leave your other one.</p>\n<p>Once you get a work permit, that\'s a different story. You can still leave, but the school needs to turn in your work permit before you can get another job.</p>\n<p><strong>What if it doesn\'t suck? </strong></p>\n<p>GREAT! Even better. Just get the first year under your belt and take your time getting to know the area. Network, do your research, and find better paying jobs. You could even step up your game by getting a higher level certification (Trinity TEFL, or Cambridge CELTA). I wrote a blog post about getting certifications on my website clarifying the differences between TEFLs. When you get those high end certifications, you get opened up to a whole new world of options for this career.</p>\n<p>Please check out my <a href=\"https://youtu.be/N3GOCTI0Cx4\">youtube video</a> that I made a few years ago regarding this topic.</p>\n<p>Good luck with the new school year and getting your first job here in Thailand, whether it be here in Bangkok or anywhere else in Thailand.</p>\n<p>Bookmark my blog and please keep in touch.

Getting one starts with a resume or a Curriculum Vitae. We all know how it works, and what what to put into it, right?</p>\n<p>Not necessarily. I regularly get questions like \'What\'s the difference between a CV and resume?\', \'How long should it be?\', \'What if I don\'t have experience related to teaching?\', \'Do I have to write a cover letter?\'</p>\n<p>Perhaps, the process of preparing a (good) resume is not so simple after all. Because our resume represents a first impression to our potential employer, it\'s a sensitive document. On the topic of how to write one, though, there is already so much good advice out there that there\'s not really much more to be said. The best site I have found for ideas and tips on layouts is <a href=\"https://uptowork.com/blog/cv-vs-resume-difference\">this one by Natalie Severt</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>\"Cultural niceties\"</h3>\n<p>As thorough as Natalie\'s blog is, however, its focus is job hunters in the occident. Are things different for us here in the orient? In every country, resumes have associated with them some deeply embedded cultural niceties. South Africans, for example, have an idiosyncratic culture of preparing multi-page tomes which spell out almost every aspect of the applicant\'s life in painful detail, starting with a magnificent cover page bearing only the individual\'s name in size 88 italic bold font, ringed with a pretty border.</p>\n<p>What about the culture of resumes in bureaucratic and document-driven Asia? Someone I know who decided to move to Cambodia told me an interesting anecdote about her resume experience.</p>\n<p>To find work, she followed local protocol and typed up a one-page resume summarizing her life skills and qualifications, and duly distributed it to schools she knew. No response. A while later, she did the same again, with another set of schools. At one of the schools, the receptionist disparagingly took the piece of paper from her, and asked \"Do you have a cover?\". Smiling, the teacher told her she didn\'t, and asked in response, \"Do you have a cover?\". \"Yes,\", the secretary replied, apparently either mollified or relieved, pulled out a pristine blue paper folder, and stuck the resume neatly into it.</p>\n<p>Apparently conforming to acceptable norms, the resume was now ready for delivery to the head teacher. So now we know that in Cambodia it is polite and appropriate to have a cover for your CV. Head teachers of schools in Cambodia must be swimming in beautiful blue covers.</p>\n<p>And Thailand? Well, again, let me share an anecdote. One new arrival had in her possession a resume that had been designed and assembled by a famous human resource consultant in the States. She had paid a lot of money for it, and was rightly proud of the resulting product. It was sent out.</p>\n<p>As a reference on her resume, I was contacted in due course by one of the schools she had applied to, asking me where \'he\' was from. One deduces, then, that professionally-designed American resumes withhold information that Thai schools consider to be important.</p>\n<h3>Tips for Thailand job-hunters</h3>\n<p>In writing a blog about the cultural etiquette of resume preparation, I realize the danger of becoming embroiled in political debates about personal security and equal rights, or even racial stereotyping. However, the fact is that schools in Thailand which are looking to employ teachers have a few things they\'d love to see on an applicant\'s resume, and for some reason teachers seem not to want to include them. So, here are 5 simple tips for making your resume culture-compliant for Thailand:</p>\n<p>1. <strong>Add your nationality</strong>. As a teacher of English abroad, you are essentially selling yourself based around your foreign-ness. Capitalize on your (much prized) nationality by adding it to your resume.</p>\n<p>2. <strong>Add your date of birth</strong>. I was born some time before the age of the dinosaurs, something I don\'t like letting people know. In the culture I was born into, ages and years of birth are sensitive issues; women in particular consider their age sacrosanct information, never to be revealed even at gunpoint.</p>\n<p>Nevertheless, schools (and particularly schools with young-learners) want teachers who fit a specific profile, and so think that knowing a teacher\'s age is important. The philosophical and ethical implications of this kind of teacher profiling is probably the topic for another blog. For now, wear that DoB with pride.</p>\n<p>3. <strong>Add a photo</strong>. In my experience with schools, the photo is undoubtedly the most important item on a resume. In some cases, resumes without a photo are just ignored. And not just any photo, please. A nice friendly close-up of you dressed professionally is the idea. A group shot of you with a bunch of kids, or with fellow teachers on a field-trip is poor form for all sorts of reasons.</p>\n<p>Selfies don\'t really work either, and a photo of a relaxed moment by the pool bar is perhaps best avoided. Final thing: if you have the IT skills, attach the photo to the resume rather than having it as a separate attachment: be nice to the busy school directors and keep things nice and easy for them.</p>\n<p>4.<strong> Keep your language simple</strong>. Not everyone who reads the resume is a native speaker of English with the capacity to comprehend verbose sentences with unnecessarily complex semantic and syntactic construction, like this one. And to be honest, as a relatively well-educated native speaker of English, I too have problems with jargon-heavy descriptions of jobs in IT, micro-finance, or logistics. (Actually, if I\'m perfectly honest, I have problems understanding anything about any job other than teaching, so perhaps I\'m not a very good yardstick here.)</p>\n<p>5. <strong>Add your telephone number</strong>. Really.</p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of these clickbait \'5 essential tips...\' stuff. Ajarn.com has a really easy-to-use resume builder that is well suited to the needs of the schools in Thailand. Use it. And <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/making-your-resume-count\">have a look at this article</a>&nbsp;which has some tips about using the Ajarn online resume system; to which I\'d like to add one further point: because it\'s an online system, teachers sometimes type their resume in a hurry. That can lead to mistakes, and sloppy English doesn\'t look good on an English teacher\'s resume.</p>\n<p>If you are applying for a teaching post in the new academic year, wishing you all the best!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2017-04-17 12:28:14',1,'2017-04-17 12:28:14','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31846,41,'Be the worst teacher you can be','be-the-worst-teacher-you-can-be','A guide to making life difficult for you and everyone else','There\'s simply not enough information on how to be a crap teacher and just coast by. There\'s almost nothing on how easily you can do things that can get you fired or at least lose you the respect of everyone around you.','<p>There are too many articles being written on how to be a good English language teacher in Thailand. There are numerous blogs around the internet and on this website all devoted to how to get by and be a better employee. I\'ve penned a few of them myself. There\'s simply not enough information on how to be a crap teacher and just coast by. There\'s almost nothing on how easily you can do things that can get you fired or at least lose you the respect of everyone around you.</p>\n<p>This article aims to put things right. What follows is a nice and easy to follow guide that includes some of the things you should do to make life difficult for yourself and everyone around you.</p>\n<h3>General Behavior And Office Politics:</h3>\n<p>Alright, let\'s go... and we\'ll start with the money! One of the most important things you should do is let everyone know how much you earn... especially the Filipinos you work with. Rub their noses in it. You are paid more than they are and this is the measure by which you should be judged.</p>\n<p>Another cool thing you can do is - when you\'re waiting to check in first thing in the morning, push through all the other teachers who just seem to be loitering. There\'s no way you should have to wait an eternity for these idiots to finish their mindless morning chats. You\'ve got important stuff ahead of you so don\'t be held up by the lazy ones who insist on starting each day with a friendly chinwag.</p>\n<p>If the printer isn\'t working or the internet is down, the office staff want to know about it... but only from you. Always make a big deal out of things when they go wrong. The admin bods will take your concerns a lot more seriously if you march in there and start complaining loudly. If you can, single out an individual to lay the entire blame on. You\'ll certainly get their attention and the printer will be fixed in no time and you\'ll be back on Facebook by the time you get back upstairs to your desk.</p>\n<p>If you wake up with a hangover don\'t bother going in. It\'ll be OK. Your school can usually guess when you won\'t show up and make plans accordingly. Also, there\'s always a bunch of your colleagues who will fill in for you at short notice and be happy to do so. If it makes you feel better, send someone a text or an instant message that you won\'t be coming in. Leave it as close as possible to the start of the first lesson you are supposed to be teaching.</p>\n<p>Talk about drinking. Thais love to hear stories about people who drink a lot. Describe in detail what you do when you get drunk. You\'ll be the center of attention and your non-drinking colleagues will be impressed. Actually - talk about anything that\'s on your mind. Never miss an opportunity to let everyone know how much better your country is compared to Thailand. The people you work with are fascinated by what you reckon so let it all out!</p>\n<p>The textbooks you are using are awful and you should let everyone know. And remind them at every opportunity because sometimes people forget. Additionally, you should tell everyone that you could easily write better books than the ones you have been instructed to teach from. (Don\'t actually do this, though. Just let everyone know that you could if you wanted to.)</p>\n<h3>In The Classroom:</h3>\n<p>Here are a few tips for when you are actually teaching... First - make sure that you do all the talking. Letting the students have a go just slows things down and anyway they\'re rubbish at it. Don\'t forget that when you are talking, always face the blackboard/whiteboard, etc. You should never be looking at your students. And don\'t forget to use \'fillers\' like \"you know\", \"I mean\", \"okay\", \"so\", \"actually\", \"basically\", and \"right\", etc.</p>\n<p>After you start teaching in Thailand it soon becomes clear that the students are all stupid and won\'t fail the tests anyway so STOP TRYING! Let\'s face it; your heart\'s never been in your work and all this is just an excuse to see a bit of Asia before you go back to the real world. Don\'t get stressed out by trying to do what you have been paid for. It\'s just daft.</p>\n<p>If your students are getting out of control, try shouting. This really gets their attention and always works a treat. The louder the better, too. Oh, and if you remember, mix in some swear words as well. Thai teachers shout at their students and you should too. Everyone loses their temper occasionally, and the best time to do this is in your classroom in front of an audience.</p>\n<p>Correct your students on every little thing they do wrong. It\'s the only way they are going to learn, right? The more you stop your classes to correct their mistakes the more they\'ll learn and they\'ll thank you for it, too. Thai kids love being corrected and it shows that you know more than they do.</p>\n<p>Lesson plans are all fine and dandy but the reality is that you can wing your way through your classes a whole lot better without them. Lesson plans really are for nerds and crawly-bum-licks! Don\'t forget - you know best on how to teach. Don\'t listen to anyone else and their half-baked ideas.</p>\n<p>If you think the kids haven\'t understood anything, move on quickly. If they didn\'t get it the first time, there\'s no earthly reason to think that doing the whole thing over again is going to have a different ending. You have a lot of teaching to get through. If the students can\'t learn it that\'s hardly your fault, right?</p>\n<p>Here\'s a tip that will save you a few headaches; only play to the crowd that is paying attention. Focus all your time and energy on the few people at the front who want to learn. All the other kids are badduns and won\'t make any use of English in the future. Best to let them snooze at their desks at the back of the class.</p>\n<p>Finally - get romantically involved with your students. Nothing bad can ever happen when you cross this line and get involved with a sexy student. Thai girls are very discreet and pragmatic and they handle rejection well. So when you\'ve moved on to the next one they\'ll be cool about it and just let things fade into a happy memory. Get out there and enjoy yourself.</p>\n<h3>In Conclusion:</h3>\n<p>In the end, don\'t forget that you\'re a part of an industry that can\'t recognize or reward its best employees and blithely ignores ongoing systematic, catastrophic failures. Nobody is going to give you a pat on the back for making an effort so why would you?</p>\n<p>Be rude, be selfish and act on impulse. Things will always work out fine for you when you do!</p>','','2017-04-17 12:58:43',1,'2017-04-17 12:58:43','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31848,96,'Teaching away from Thailand','teaching-away-from-thailand','Feeling blessed to be a teacher','I guess I will always be teaching. May it be on top of a mountain, farm or with a tribe and culture different to my own?','<p>It was a long and winding road. Mountains were clothed of white and cascading waterfall clouds while the sun was slowly breathing out a foggy cold morning on green grasses and trees. The journey was pleasant and comfortable.  The van driver lazily told us that finally, we had reached our destination.</p>\n<h3>A mountainous town</h3>\n<p>Legs and back felt like stiff papers glued together to prevent from moving.  With droopy eyes, we took two bags of goods and froze on the first breath of air.  It was colder than we expected!  We were in a mountainous town of Kayapa, Nueva Viscaya, about 8 hours, north east of Manila. It is the vegetable bowl of the region due to its cold weather, suitable to grow various kinds of vegetables.  The soil is clay and ginger that made a big contrast on a green scenery. People rendered us a hesitant smile and we grinned in an awkward way.</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t reach my fellow teachers from Thailand on the phone. We left our bags in a shop and with ample information from beetle nut stained teeth teen age boys, me and my sister braved the cold but happily climbed to an uphill school.  In half hour, we passed a primary school with kids playing, chatting and picking up rubbish.  Adjacent to it was the high school place where the values outreach teaching program has begun.</p>\n<p>After dumping our back packs, I was ready to teach with my sister tagging along.  She joyfully settled herself on a defaced bench and me, gazed on interested and curious eyes. The program focused on healthy lifestyle with emphasis on drug addiction, faith to God, financial awareness,   intrinsic values such as honesty, and practical use of knowledge.</p>\n<h3>Dynamic class</h3>\n<p>The class turned out to be dynamic and alive.  The  students were participative and inspired of different experiences from teachers who were teaching non-Filipinos.  We taught at two secondary schools and visited two primary schools.  We gave out sets of school supplies, Bibles and some financial assistance.</p>\n<p>Our last day was allotted to free medical service program which included tooth extraction, consultation, blood sugar test, urinalysis, circumcision and free medicines/vitamins.  Volunteer doctors/nurses from Adventist Santiago Hospital, Kayapa Health Center and medical technologists from San Pedro, Laguna aided the program to help 200 people.   It was sunny and the busiest day for all of us.  I\'ve seen every gleam of gratefulness and relief on each patient\'s faces.  Nevertheless, every smile of everyone was worth capturing.</p>\n<h3>Blessed to be a teacher</h3>\n<p>It was our last night, as I walked on a moonlit road amidst singing crickets, howling of dogs and silent chirping of birds, it made me think how richly blessed I am with the experiences.  More than the joy of having fresh air, vegetables, fruits and unforgettable memories, a teacher\'s life is never dull at all.  As I wrote this on a chilly night, I was glad, content and at peace to call it a day.</p>\n<p>I guess, I will always be teaching, no matter where I would be.  Every teaching experience is unique as with every willing learner.  Most of all, teachers and students alike, learning has to grow and enriched a life we each play beyond the walls of a classroom. May it be on top of a mountain, farm or with a tribe and culture different on my own?</p>','','2017-04-18 17:33:52',1,'2017-04-18 17:33:52','2018-04-15 03:03:26'),(31849,71,'A trip to Phnom Penh makes one appreciate Bangkok','a-trip-to-phnom-penh-makes-one-appreciate-bangkok','I wasn\'t all that impressed with Cambodia\'s capital','I\'m sure that like Bangkok, once you get to know the city, it has its own draws and charm - and one certainly can\'t complain that it\'s expensive! But it\'s certainly no Bangkok.','<p>Recently, I was asked to help chaperone a group of students attending a Model United Nations conference at a school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, at a really fancy-schmancy international school (Northbridge, a member of the Nord Anglia group of schools). I\'d never visited Cambodia (save a visa run, which doesn\'t count), so figured... why not?</p>\n<h3>A short visit</h3>\n<p>I must say, I wasn\'t overly impressed with the sleepy capital. Granted, I was only there for a few days, and was in charge of a dozen teenagers, so I wasn\'t exactly free to roam about much. I\'m sure there are some quite interesting things to do and local haunts that pass the time - a number of the other foreign teachers I met at the conference had lived in Cambodia for years - but with the exception of the quite out-of-place ridiculously posh school that hosted the conference and the Cambodian Country Club we stayed in quite near to it (not far from the airport), I found Phnom Penh to be what I\'d imagine Bangkok was twenty years ago, and I\'m not exactly seeing that in the best light.</p>\n<p>The wealth gap I saw in the very short time I was there put Thailand to shame; here we are at a school where 15-year-old students are driving themselves to school in Audis and Porches (yes, really), and just 100 metres outside of the school gates, there are cows in the streets (if you can call them that) and non-stop traffic in a city with significantly less inhabitants than Bangkok.</p>\n<p>We only got to drive about the city a small amount, but of that small amount, 90% of it was sitting in traffic; as much as I cringe to admit it, per capita, I feel Phnom Penh has worse traffic than the Big Mango, primarily due to terrible roads and just no control of traffic at all.</p>\n<h3>A lawless land?</h3>\n<p>For all the grumbling I do about Thailand not having enforced traffic laws... I\'m not sure Phnom Penh has any laws at all! That\'s not necessarily a bad thing to me, Thailand is sadly becoming far too Western-style in its over-regulation-but when it takes an hour just to go two kilometres in a relatively low-population city... well, I don\'t know what to say.</p>\n<p>The city itself is much what I would expect in a less developed country (even by Thai standards), but has several severely out-of-place buildings (like the school we visited) that are a bit shocking - primarily being the government offices in their [must be foreign invested] splendour, surrounded on all sides by abject poverty, with signs promoting the country\'s politicians everywhere much like what I\'d expect to see in a... how shall I put this without getting into trouble... strictly controlled country. Sure, it\'s the same as Thailand in the respect of celebrating leaders, but I felt these to be far more imposing.</p>\n<h3>Danger zones</h3>\n<p>Safety, at least according to the several local teachers I spoke with, seems also to be far more of an issue in the Cambodian capital and surroundings. Several people told me not to go here, or not to go there after a certain hour on our trip; this is just not something I\'ve had to even think about living in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Outside of this, though, I think my primary problem with the city is its dustiness, and this is coming from someone who deals with Bangkok buses blowing plumes of black dusty smoke in my face every day. I really don\'t know how the locals deal with it; it\'s so dusty throughout all the places I visited that I could taste it! The heat was the same as Bangkok, and perhaps we just visited at the wrong time of year, but still.</p>\n<h3>The plus points</h3>\n<p>It\'s certainly not all bad; I was highly impressed with the locals\' English skills-far better on average than what I\'ve experienced even in Bangkok-and the cost of living is ridiculously cheap, even by Thai standards. The city can certainly cater well to expats too, judging on conversations with other teachers there, and there are several expat-friendly haunts and grocery outlets (just don\'t expect any Siam Paragons). The riverside boulevard area we visited was nice once we finally arrived (although, to me, nothing special), and there looked to be some lovely historical temples worth visiting should one have the time.</p>\n<p>However, even with all its warts, I kept thinking to myself: man, I have it lucky in Bangkok. In comparison, Bangers feels like it\'s in a sweet spot between totally lawless/undeveloped and the organisation/convenience of a Western-style city... and having experienced Phnom Penh, I can now both notice and appreciate that.</p>\n<p>By no means am I \"hating\" on Phnom Penh; as I said, I have no right to judge the city with any finality due to the nature of my trip and the extremely short time I spent there. I\'m sure that, like Bangkok, once you get to know the city it has its own draws and charm. And one certainly can\'t complain that it\'s expensive! But for me, I\'ll straight-up say it: I\'ve been spoiled by Bangkok.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Keep in mind that recruiters ask for your photo when you apply for the job.','<p>Let me first start off by saying that this is my own personal experience. Some people will have far better experiences, and others, far worse. Considering the growing issues of the Western world and an increasing number of people wanting to escape to Asia in order to teach ESL, &nbsp;I feel it is my duty as a person to warn anyone about coming to Asia to teach English.</p>\n<h3>Who am I writing for?</h3>\n<p>Firstly, let me say that I do not think all Asians (or in this case Thais) are racist or uneducated. When I was living in Thailand, I had a wonderful Thai girlfriend and her friends and family treated me well. I have met some Thais who I found to be accepting of me at some level, but that was the minority, not the norm.  This article is for those who are African, African-American, Hispanic, or any non-white race.  This is an article is for people who are on the fence about coming here and have read the horror stories of being colored in Asia. This is an article for anyone who is considered overweight in the Western World and his concerned about how that will affect their job chances in Asia.</p>\n<p>My advice is to think long and hard before coming to Asia, especially Thailand, to work as an ESL teacher. Keep in mind that recruiters ask for your photo when you apply for the job. I know many will scoff at my warning, but first hear me out before you consider moving to the other side of the planet.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I will begin with a little background info about me. I\'m an American from the Midwest area of the country. I\'m of Mexican descent and yes, I\'m overweight. I point that out because I made the mistake of underestimating the vast cultural differences of the Asian world to the western world.</p>\n<p>I first came to Thailand in 2014 on a holiday, and although I sensed the animosity of Thai people towards me, I, like so many others, were was taken in by the cheap cost of living and the women.</p>\n<p>I decided in 2015, after 6 months of teaching ESL in Mexico, to try my luck in Thailand. When I first arrived, the problems began to set in. The most obvious problem was that my skin is brown or extremely toned. I could not believe how racist Thai culture was towards me and anyone else who was not white-skinned.</p>\n<h3>To the point</h3>\n<p>Every job that I applied for either did not reply or just said straight out that I was too dark-skinned to be a teacher here. Furthermore, my weight was another issue. I was told many times that I was too fat to be a teacher and that I should be a cook instead. However, me being the determined person I am, I decided not to give up so easily.</p>\n<p>I remember sitting in the Subway restaurant on Silom road when I got the email from an agency that a school had accepted me to work at their kindergarten. However, all was not what it seemed. This school was in the Sa Kaeo Province. I remember getting to the school on a Sunday and I quickly made friends with other western teachers there. My first day seemed okay and everything was cool the first week or so. Quickly that changed and the problems began to start. The first being that my Thai co-teacher was a lazy so-and-so who only cared about being on her phone rather than taking care of the students.</p>\n<h3>Laughing stock</h3>\n<p>Secondly, the vice principal of the school made a mockery of me in front of some visitors. She grabbed my stomach and told me how fat I was and everyone had a good laugh at me. I quickly walked away, grabbed my stuff, and left the school immediately. My co-teacher got mad at me, and later I learned I made her lose face by doing reacting like that.</p>\n<p>The school tried to apologize to me, but the damage had been done. In the following three weeks, I was accused of going into the boy\'s bathroom, ; my co-teacher made up a story that I was sleeping on the floor; and countless other issues, which later lead led me to be fired from the school. I learned before I left that my co-teacher had had seven other teachers fired as well!! In that time, I learned the harsh lesson of making a Thai lose face and that in Asia you must keep your mouth shut, even if you are right.</p>\n<p>I came to Bangkok and tried to find work one last time. I found a different agency and I began teaching at a high school. The school was a little better and I learned a lot there. However, eventually, the Thai way got to me again. Whether it was the disrespect from the Thai students, who were allowed to say to the teacher \"you\'re so fat,\" or the utter incompetence I witnessed. , I never saw such disorganization from a school before, and I\'m from the inner-city mind you.</p>\n<p>I never would have believed that students could be passed even if they got a 38/100 in the class. Adding to the misery was the fact that I got very little support from anyone in the school. I remember listening to teacher\'s room conversation and hearing the Thai teachers saying \"farang\" this and \"farang\" that. There was a constant \'me against you\' attitude and you were always made to feel like an outcast. It was a losing battle all the way.</p>\n<h3>Stress and more stress</h3>\n<p>I will be the first to admit that I was quite na&iuml;ve and had to learn some hard lessons about teaching. However, no one can be successful when your bosses are only concerned with saving face and making themselves look good. In the end, I was fired again.</p>\n<p>Adding to the stress were things no tells you on your TEFL course. : The xenophobia and scams that Thailand has to offer. When you are a teacher in Thailand, not only will you have to deal with the problems at school, but you must also deal with shady landlords, shady teaching agencies (who by the way get a commission from your salary), and, of course, people making racist remarks about you as you walk down the street.</p>\n<p>Be ready to lose your deposit over the smallest thing and be ready to get defrauded at every corner. Make sure your teaching agency doesn\'t pull the \"we can\'t pay you until later\" crap. Do not think for one minute that they care about you. Always remember you are just a number and nothing more.</p>\n<p>There is a saying amongst the Thais - \"Farang roo mark my dee\" - The foreigner who knows too much is no good. Anyone who has experience doing business or living in Thailand for longer than three months knows this to be true. I could go even deeper but I think you get the pattern. There is no winning, and even after trying my best, it was just not good enough.</p>\n<p>Some will say, you were just a terrible teacher!! To that I say, maybe you are right, but why was I never given support? Why was I always treated badly? Why was I looked down on for how I look? Why was it that I had lies spread about me? Why is it that I was already judged before even walking in the door? Why is that a white teacher from Russia gets the job before a Black American, Asian American, or Hispanic American?</p>\n<p>Are Asian schools looking for teachers or models? If government schools in Thailand are so great, why are teachers coming and going like a revolving door? Having said all that, after the firings I was happy and ready to go home.</p>\n<h3>Life got better</h3>\n<p>At this present time, I work online and I\'m very happy with my current job. I can come and go as I please and travel when I want. I know many will call me stupid or say I should have researched better and maybe they are right. However, I learned all these lessons the hard way and I have enough concern to advise you that unless you\'re white, I would think deeply think about whether you want to deal with the attitude here, the racist thinking, and the utter disdain for people of color. Also, sadly, the terrible conditions that Thailand schools are in are not going to change any time soon.</p>\n<p>To be fair, it was a great lesson for me and I learned what I did not want to do in life. Also some things about Thailand are great - the food, the mai pen rai attitude, and many other things. Sure, it was not all bad and if it\'s your dream to do this, then go ahead. Just please be realistic in your thinking and understand what you are really walking into.</p>\n<p>If you still decide to go, I sincerely hope and pray your experience is better than mine was. Everything I learned came at a great price, and after reading what I just wrote, ask yourself: Is this something I still really want to do? Ask anyone who has taught ESL here before and you will hear many of the same things I have written.</p>\n<p>My final thought is this.&nbsp;Think of ESL teaching in Asia,&nbsp;for westerners, as being a bit like a casino. A casino is a place with a touch of excitement, the lure of an easy job (ESL)&nbsp;and a place for fun, even with a bit of a risk. Go to a casino every now and then for fun and that\'s OK. Go there every day, all day and you will ultimately lose because the house advantage will always get you.&nbsp;</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/black-teachers-in-thailand\">Black teachers in Thailand - Does racism exist in The Land of Smiles?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-guests/articles/its-not-the-land-of-smiles-for-us\">It\'s not the \'Land of Smiles\' for us - Facing challenges as a black teacher in Thailand</a></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/mexican.jpg','2017-04-23 00:25:11',1,'2017-04-23 00:25:11','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31862,41,'An ideal home','an-ideal-home','Some thoughts about renting in Thailand','Choosing a \'home\' is a balance of positives (what you want) versus negatives (what you are prepared to put up with) Where you eventually decide to set up base camp in Thailand won\'t be the same as where your colleagues would choose.','<p>You know that old saying \"You get what you pay for!\"? I\'d agree with that in most cases... but renting somewhere to bed down in Thailand is not bound by that proverbial sentiment.</p>\n<p>There are few things more subjective than choosing a place to live. Where you eventually decide to set up base camp in Thailand won\'t be the same as where your colleagues would choose. There are a lot of aspects to consider... the location, landlord, utilities, neighbors... the smell! If you do NOT shop around for a place to live in Thailand you are going to miss out on a great deal that\'s just right for you.</p>\n<p>It doesn\'t matter where you are on the pay scale, you should always devote a good portion of your energy on finding a place where you\'ll be comfortable sleeping in. This article isn\'t about specifics on renting in Thailand - there\'s lots of good advice available online. These are just a few thoughts that reflect my own experiences renting in Thailand over the last few years before I broke down and bought a place.</p>\n<h3>What to pay?</h3>\n<p>For teachers in Thailand, I\'m guessing that most of us are paying less than 10,000 baht a month for rent, especially those of us outside Bangkok. The rest of us are paying less than 20,000 baht. Rents in Bangkok can be astronomical but anything over 20,000 baht offers little in return by way of extra services and comforts. In other words... anything more than 20,000 baht is really a waste of money if you have done your homework and made an effort to find somewhere that\'s right for you.</p>\n<p>If you\'re budget conscious then about 8,000 a month can get you a clean, quiet room in Bangkok. It will also get you a crappy room with unreliable services, a sticky elevator floor, and nasty, annoying neighbors! Then again, I\'ve seen plenty of my friends staying at more expensive places that wouldn\'t be right for me.</p>\n<p>Choosing a \'home\' is a balance of positives (what you want) versus negatives (what you are prepared to put up with.) You may want an apartment close to the BTS. But is the noise of the traffic outside worth it? You may want a quiet house tucked away in one of the back streets but that sweaty, twenty-minute walk to the bus stop is just too much to tolerate day in and day out. You\'ve found a place that seems like a great location but the stink of food in the hallways makes you want to throw up. You\'ve discovered a place with a great indoor gym but the rooms are tiny, roach-infested shitholes!</p>\n<h3>Be patient and KEEP LOOKING!</h3>\n<p>Do you know the difference between a \"condo\", an \"apartment\", and a \"serviced\" apartment? You should, so find out. Do you know what \'mansion\' means in Thailand?  It\'s certainly not what I thought it was! You\'re gonna laugh your ass off when you find out what passes for a \'mansion\' here!</p>\n<p>Consider how long you\'ll be living in your chosen abode. If it\'s a year or more than you really should make the effort to get it right first time. Ask questions before you sign the lease. Is the WiFi any good? How about the water pressure in the shower? Does the security guard sleep more than the average cat?</p>\n<p>Are the air-con units old or new looking? The old ones will chew you up in electric bills. And what is the apartment charging for electricity? If you rent an actual house it will be the lowest domestic rate directly from the electric company. Apartments have more creative (and expensive) ways of calculating your electricity bill.</p>\n<p>Can you afford to lose your deposit? Be prepared to. You will probably lose at least some of it with the mysterious \'wear and tear\' deductions at the end of your stay. Before you move in, take lots of photos of the inside of the apartment... especially damaged and stained areas. Upload them all on somewhere like Facebook where the date they were posted can easily be seen. Some landlords (especially the women) are worse than the Pattaya jet ski Mafia!</p>\n<h3>How are the neighbors?</h3>\n<p>Who are your neighbors going to be? Hang around and find out before you move in. Is there a family of noisy Thais cooking up a batch of stink-flavoured curry in the room next to yours? Is there a drunk Dutchman on his way to making headlines by being a splat on the pavement as he says \'goodbye\' to the world and jumps off the roof? Do you have a flirtatious ladyboy down the hall who has more night visitors than Nana Plaza?</p>\n<p>Twenty years ago I did my rental research online. I was living in Mexico and working out my budget for the move to Thailand. I was very upbeat... the rents were looking cheap as chips. There were cool looking apartments with pools, gyms, shops and other expats I could talk to... but once I actually arrived in Thailand and started looking at these places, I quickly became disillusioned and abandoned all that research and those pipe dreams of living in luxury on a budget.</p>\n<p>I tried settling in a couple of places that were cheap and cheerful. I was a younger man back then so my tolerance for inconvenience and discomfort was a lot higher than it is now. But as my salary increased and my stay in Thailand got longer and longer, I went through a series of upgrades to make my life better. You will probably go through the same steps as I did - learning along the way.</p>\n<p>Through it all, the biggest lesson I learned was that the more effort you put into finding a place that\'s ideal for you, the happier your stay in Thailand will be. There really are brilliant bargains to be had in Bangkok (and the rest of Thailand) when it comes to living quarters. A little work and a little patience will pay off.</p>\n<p>Good luck and happy living!</p>\n<hr />\n<h3>You might also be interested in....</h3>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/the-ajarn.com-guide-to-renting-an-apartment\">The ajarn.com guide to renting an apartment - Everything you need to know about renting an apartment in Thailand</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/the-ajarn.com-guide-to-renting-a-house\">The ajarn.com guide to renting a house - When you\'ve had quite enough of apartment living.</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/the-perfect-neighborhood\">The perfect neighborhood - What ten things are most important to you?</a></p>','','2017-04-27 18:45:07',1,'2017-04-27 18:45:07','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31866,20,'Thailand 101','thailand-101','Settling in as an English teacher - the journey and expenses','In my short time in Thailand I have learned so much already.

Leaving what you know for what you don\'t know can be exciting and stressful at the same time.</p>\n<p>Not knowing what to expect creates unease in your sub-conscious. However being frightened of the unknown immediately sets doubt into your own existence and what you can achieve. Questioning if it is even possible to pack it all up and move to a foreign country.  The thought of failure is insignificant to the journey that lies ahead. &nbsp;</p>\n<p>In my short time in Thailand I have learned so much already. The journey here has already opened me up to alternative experiences. Meeting individuals from across the globe has taught me that it is alright to be different. When you live in a place where no one knows who you are or what you are, you have the ability to re-create yourself. If what you are looking for is to run away from problems, this is not the place, there are plenty of challenges here that one will need to overcome during their stay. (I will touch on that in another article).</p>\n<p>If what you are looking for is experience and opportunity, this is the place for you. When I say opportunity, I do not mean to a better job, or a better lifestyle, I mean an opportunity to learn, create and succeed in whatever endeavour you have planned for yourself. It is up to the individual to make it their own idyllic experience.</p>\n<p>If you are living a mundane life now, moving won\'t change that, unless you change your frame of thinking. My experience thus far has been extremely exhilarating, energetic and exhausting at times.  What I have enjoyed the most is change, not just a scenic change but a change within myself.</p>\n<p>If you are wanting a heads up about travelling to Thailand and first-hand experience of what I have experienced, then this article is for you. The article will highlight general experiences in Thailand, start up costs and general expenses.</p>\n<h3>Thailand introduction</h3>\n<p>I arrived on April the 4th 2017, completely oblivious to life in Thailand, only what I was told and what I had seen on YouTube. Arriving here was immediately an eye-opener for me, from the crazy Brit I met on the plane, who was a veteran in the game and knew the answers to all my questions about Thailand. His only recommendation was Pattaya.</p>\n<p>This was later seconded by an older fellow from Italy, whom I could not understand until he muttered the word \"Pattaya\". It was at this point I knew Thailand was either misbranded or misunderstood.  From my experience thus far, it is much more than a place for sexual pleasure. But who am I to judge? - we all come for our own reasons, mine being to teach English.</p>\n<p>Arriving at the airport and walking out the door was immediately overwhelming. The heat hit me instantly and it was at that moment that I knew this was for real. Trying to catch a cab to somewhere, I had no idea where it was, was immediately a communication barrier, causing discomfort and utter confusion.</p>\n<p>I was constantly hoping the driver knew where he was going. It had cost me 1000 baht to get from the airport to my apartment, which was in Nakhon Pathom. Needless to say the driver pulled through and I made it to where I needed to be. The traffic was a nightmare and the racing drivers on the road were competing with my driver. Well that\'s how it seemed!</p>\n<p>One thing I have learned here is that taxis drivers will squeeze as much cash out of you as possible, and as a novice traveller I experienced this daily for at least two weeks. (Make sure the taxi odometer is always on). It will always start on 35 baht as that is their commission.</p>\n<h3>Accommodation</h3>\n<p>My living apartment was a surprise. It was very modern, neat and reasonably safe. 35m&sup2;, including free wifi, a gym area and an enormous swimming pool, which was a huge relief at that time as I was highly dehydrated from trying to manoeuvre around 27 kgs of luggage.</p>\n<p>Our monthly rent upon signing up was 6,900 baht, including a deposit of 6,900 baht, excluding water and lights, which came to 2,200 baht at the end of the following month, which is not high seeing as I live with my air con on.</p>\n<p>April expenses on rent were 13,800 baht and May\'s expenses for rent were 6,200 baht for my room and 2,200 baht for electricity and water (8,400 baht). At the time of writing I have yet to receive any income while living in Thailand, as I\'m still on a tourist visa. So if you are planning on coming to Thailand to teach, these are rough costs that you will need to pay before you start receiving any income. Total needed to cover two months rental (22,200baht). This includes a mandatory deposit.</p>\n<h3>Let\'s move on to food</h3>\n<p>Luckily for me I am not a fussy eater and I am always willing to try new things. One can be very creative in the kitchen and Thai people will show you this. I don\'t cook for myself at all as it is very convenient to buy from street vendors or smaller restaurants.</p>\n<p>I keep essentials such as fruit, some noodles and a few canned foods in my fridge and cupboard at home but other than that I\'m eating five meals a day at a mean of 60 baht a meal. On the daily I spend about 300 baht a day on food. This can easily be reduced if you want to save some extra cash.</p>\n<p>There is a wide variety of dishes here. I eat a lot of chicken, rice and noodles but I am not a fan of the soups. The foods are delicious and extremely spicy, filled with tangling flavours that will blow your taste buds. My advice is to try it all, it may just surprise you!</p>\n<p>One thing about Thai culture that is different to the Western culture; food is never brought out at the same time, don\'t let this bother you or frustrate you. As a Westerner this is opposite to the norm, where food comes out simultaneously, but who likes cold food anyway? The best way to eat is to order several dishes with a few friends and try everything. That means no one is waiting while the others are eating.</p>\n<p>This is one thing I really enjoy about Thai culture - being present and spending time with friends or family. I can recall many occasions back home where my family and I used to eat in separate rooms.  Here family is all! There are also 7/11s on almost every corner, with all your basic essentials as well as a wide variety of treats and microwave meals.</p>\n<h3>Mobility</h3>\n<p>Transport costs are what eat up the most cash. I am looking to buy myself a scooter as soon as I get my work permit, but for a 4km trip you pay about 60 baht. It may not seem that much but this adds up very quickly.</p>\n<p>Investing in a scooter will save you cash in the long run. Thai people have a tendency of not wearing a helmets but as convenient as it sounds, you are playing with your life every time you jump on your bike. The traffic here is a nightmare and people will not hesitate to change lanes without looking.</p>\n<p>If you are planning to stay in central Bangkok, there is a BTS which is very convenient, but again it will cost you anything between 35 baht -60 baht a trip. <br />(60baht for 4km trip)</p>\n<p>60baht x 31days =  1860baht, but let\'s be real, there will be days where one travels more than four kilometres. Try and share cabs because this will reduce costs.</p>\n<p>Household items</p>\n<p>This includes all toiletries, basic household items (such as a bowl or two) a few knifes, some blag bags and other general items, lets slap on another 1500 baht a month.</p>\n<p>Try bringing across as much as you can. Ask a few family members to buy your toiletries, deodorants and toothpaste. Cutting out some costs this side will save you money. Deodorant will cost you nearly an arm and a leg here so bring as much as you can. Unfortunately some airlines don\'t allow aerosol spray cans on flight, so be aware of such circumstances before you decide to load your suitcase.</p>\n<h3>Entertainment</h3>\n<p>Let\'s be real, of course we want to have a little fun in our downtime, but moderation is key. If you are coming here to party, then be prepared to bring an extra 10000baht a month, maybe more. But for the more conservative folks you can budget around 3,000 baht a month. Otherwise invest in a good book and save the going out for another day.</p>\n<h3>Concluding Thailand costs</h3>\n<p>It is of utmost important that you have savings when deciding to move to a foreign country. Having a financial cushion will protect you from any unexpected expenses. This article was based on my initial start up costs; the grand total to survive here for two months is as follows;</p>\n<p>Transport: 9,000 baht<br />Accommodation: 22,200 baht<br />Food: 18,000 baht<br />Household items: 1,500 baht<br />Entertainment: 4,500 baht<br />Unexpected expenses: 3,000 baht<br />Visa Run: 7,500 baht</p>\n<p>TOTAL:  65,700 baht or 1900 US dollars. This will cover two months\' expenses based on current exchange rate of 34.60.</p>\n<p>All in all, my experience has been exceptionally accommodating. Without my friends this side and support group, I don\'t think I would have transitioned in as easy as I did.</p>\n<p>The journey has only just begun, I don\'t expect chocolate and rainbows from here on out, but I know I have made it this far already, and any obstacle in the future will be a test for me to succeed. Moving away from loved ones can be a daunting experience, but in our day and age, a video call is literally only a few baht away.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><em>My name is David Keth, an inspiring entrepreneur, qualified English teacher, holding a BA in Communication Science, and a financial WIZZ kid.

Power resumes that work are effective because, as marketing brochures, they spark an interest in a particular product - you!','<p><strong>Six seconds!&nbsp;</strong>That\'s how long-according to a study released by The Ladders - an online job matching service - that recruiters spend reviewing an individual resume. In spite of that, far too many job seekers reflect a naive belief that each and every word will be read by a rational reader.</p>\n<p>Rational readers are marked by receptive hearts, detached egos and lots of free time. They are rarer than unicorns. I certainly have never met one.</p>\n<p>Whether your resume is scanned for six or sixteen seconds, you\'ve got precious time to make an impression. Power resumes that work are effective because, as marketing brochures, they spark an interest in a particular product - you!</p>\n<p>But let\'s first back up a bit and ask: What is the objective of a resume?  If you answered &lsquo;to get a job\', go back to the back of the class. A resume has one single goal: to get an interview.</p>\n<p>Once you\'re in the door, you get to fill in the dots, tout your experience and tell (some) of your life story. But you have to get invited in first. That\'s what a Power Resume does.</p>\n<h3>Start with a Summary</h3>\n<p>So let\'s start our Power Resume by getting rid of an obsolete technique: the \"Objective Statement.\" An objective states what you want and not what the employer needs. Your objectives or aspirations are only of interest to the hiring authority to the extent they correspond with what they\'re looking for.</p>\n<p>Summaries work better than objectives because they emphasize what you offer, not what you want. Focused summaries describe what you did, the skill set you used doing it, and the results you obtained. It immediately addresses an employer\'s needs and this gets their attention.</p>\n<p>Let\'s take a look Here\'s one summary style I find particularly effective.</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Teaching &amp; Classroom Management</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Extensive background in education and academic environments. Experienced in public school teaching, training, art instruction, special education and institutional management. Special Strengths:</strong></p>\n<p>This summary starts off with a title-targeted to the specific job opening-and a brief background statement of the types of experience you\'ve had.  No specifics yet; that will come.</p>\n<h3>Talk Skills</h3>\n<p>Right underneath this are listed eight key skills (put into two columns is a good presentation format) that are applicable to the position. Why skills? Because skills are expertise. They\'re transferable and they give the best prediction of your future performance to a hiring authority.  Here a couple of examples:</p>\n<p><strong>Designing Lesson Plans <br />Formulating Learning Outcomes<br />Confidence Building</strong></p>\n<p>All purchase decisions involve risk. The hiring authority will be \"buying you\" in offering you a job. You want to reduce any perceived risk they may see.</p>\n<p>A skills-based approach is a great technique when you\'re using experience from other industries to break into a new field...like English teaching.</p>\n<p>The next summary section summarizes results.  Please note that we rarely use complete sentences in resumes.  This is not a book. No one is going to read every word. Use phrases and bullet points to make more impact. The mind...perceives info...and data...better...in fragments. Something like this:</p>\n<p>Established record of consistent student progress...obtained consistent positive teacher observations. Achieved academic goals...built lasting relationships...with students, faculty and parents.</p>\n<p>Finally below this, the employers will see that you have a degree (if you do) and that you\'re qualified to teach English as a foreign language, i.e. you have a TEFL certification. Something like this:</p>\n<h3>BS - Biology 						         		                                     TEFL Certification</h3>\n<p>Again, the details and dates will be shown at the end of the Power Resume. Don\'t overload the summary. You simply want the employer to see your relevant background, teaching skills, results, the degree, and your TEFL certification.</p>\n<p>Check, check and check...6 to 10 seconds. Congratulations. You\'ve survived. You\'ve just been delegated to the second round-the short-list file.</p>\n<p>Think of all this in terms of a jous, where your resume is a battleground for a ritual skirmish. If you stay on your horse through the first scan, you get to the second round - an attentive reading. Survive all this, and you get to go to the castle and meet the princess.</p>\n<h3>The Experience Section</h3>\n<p>Welcome to round two. Here you list your previous positions, the organizations you worked for, where they are and dates you were with them on one line. Just below, on the second line, tell something about that organization. Typically the employer will not know about the place you worked before.</p>\n<p>Here\'s a couple of examples:</p>\n<p><strong>Customer Care Manager, Hilton Worldwide, Colombo, Sri Lanka, 2014-2016<br />Hilton hotels is the largest hotel in the world with hundreds of locations on six continents</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Songwriting/Guitar Teacher, Pobal Music School, Belfast, Northern Ireland, 2013 - 2016 <br />Pobal supports communities towards achieving social inclusion, reconciliation and equality.</strong></p>\n<p>Do you know about Pobal?  I didn\'t. I\'m guessing many readers will be like me. You can use any organization\'s website, Facebook page or their Wikipedia entry to get a great one line description of who they are.</p>\n<p>Organization\'s names are brands. They matter. Use them.</p>\n<p>Working at McFly\'s Software Heaven is not the same as working at Microsoft. Look at how we treated Hilton Hotels above.  Such references can make an enormous difference in how you\'re perceived and the quality of your achievements. If your organization is more unknown, link to its website to give it greater credibility.</p>\n<p>The complete entry for this experience point could look like this:</p>\n<p><strong>Songwriting/Guitar Teacher, Pobal Music School, Belfast, Northern Ireland, 2013 - 2016 <br />Pobal supports communities towards achieving social inclusion, reconciliation and equality.<br />Taught songwriting and guitar to promote the use of Irish language through music. Student enrollment levels increased in second year.</strong></p>\n<p>This guy is trying to land his first teaching job after completing his TEFL certification. If you were hiring an English teacher, do you see any transferable skills? Hmmm...he\'s used music to promote a language. Hmmm...he\'s taught both songwriting and a musical instrument. Are you starting to see something relevant here?</p>\n<p>One more thing about experience. It\'s not just the things you got paid for.  Volunteer experience can also be highly relevant. How many new teachers list their \"practicum\' portion of the TEFL training on their resume?  They should!</p>\n<h3>Talk Results</h3>\n<p>This candidate taught at Pobal and enrollments levels increased. Do I smell the scent of success? He\'s put the results in bold typeface. People that have success somewhere tend to repeat it elsewhere. This employer\'s buyer risk is decreasing.</p>\n<p>Numbers talk in ways words can\'t. They are quantitative and they show magnitude of achievement. So a teacher\'s resume could note that students\' test scores went up 22%. When results can\'t be quantified, qualify them, like this: \"built relationships with parents.\" Since parents are the real customers at most any school, most would-be teachers might want to find a way to include success bullets about them.</p>\n<h3>No Laundry Lists</h3>\n<p>Far too many resumes are just a list of what-they-did.  For every action there\'s a reaction, so tell us what happened?  If there are no results for a least some of your actions, you don\'t have a Power Resume.</p>\n<p>When you detail your experience, use power verbs to strike a blow for action and achievement: Manage. Execute. Analyze. Create. Organize. Let the other wimp be the one who \"aided,\" \"participated in\" or \"helped bring about.\"</p>\n<p>Most resume writers know that self-marketing resumes should not exceed two pages. Many, however, take this limit as an excuse to load up those two pages like a rush hour train. Using the first person, they try to cram in a detailed personal history, replete with pronouns, adjectives, and dependent clauses.</p>\n<p>Please, don\'t do that. And you don\'t have to list every-single-thing-you\'ve-ever-done.  If you have a college degree, no one wants to know that you\'ve survived the sixth grade. While you\'ll need to fill in any obvious gaps, your experience should be like the rest of this document: targeted.  Keep it focused on that new teaching position you\'re dreaming of.</p>\n<h3>Bio-data</h3>\n<p>Finally the third and final section has the bio-data details. It\'s at the end for a reason. Your summary had to get the employer\'s attention in six seconds. Now that you\'ve survived that first cut, and are now in the \"re-read more carefully\" phase, your bio-data details backs up the skills in summary and the results in your Experience section.</p>\n<p>Here, in this final section, you\'re going to put details to your qualifications.</p>\n<h3>Pesky Personal Data</h3>\n<p>I tend to think anything that can be used to eliminate you as a job candidate should be excluded from a resume. Remember: our single objective is to get an interview.  Anything that you believe would result in you getting screened out, should probably be left off.</p>\n<p>Having said that, in consideration of Thai traditions, you can see how we put those pesky personal details for one candidate.</p>\n<p>Age: xxx<br />Sex: Gender<br />Nationality: Country<br />Marital status: Single</p>\n<p>As to having a photo, you can simply embed one next to your name at that top.  But please...have one that makes you look professional. Look like you\'re arriving for your first day of work. After all, this is a brochure about you.</p>\n<h3>Now it\'s Your Turn</h3>\n<p>Ready to put pen to paper?  This is pretty easy to understand, but not so easy to do.<br /> <br />However, once completed, think of your new Power Resume as the master template.  Then you can make new Power Resume hybrids with new titles and specific skills-targeting a specific job.</p>\n<h3>Want to see a sample?</h3>\n<p>I realize all this may be a bit difficult to visualize.

What exactly should a teacher do in the first few lessons considering that these first impressions are so important?','<p>First impressions count. Just how much they count might surprise you.</p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http://scienceblogs.com/cognitivedaily/2006/05/01/the-sixsecond-teacher-evaluati/\">1993 study</a>, social psychologists Nalini Ambady and Robert Rosenthal found that students can make reliable evaluations of teachers within seconds.</p>\n<p>They started by showing students three 10-second video clips of teachers. Students judged the teachers on characteristics such as \'likeable\', \'supportive\', \'confident\' and \'warm\'. Interestingly, these judgements matched the evaluations made by other students who knew the teachers well.</p>\n<p>The researchers then cut the length of the clips from 30 seconds to 15, and then again to only 6 seconds. Amazingly, even with such limited exposure, students could still make reliable evaluations of the teachers they were watching.</p>\n<p>Ambady and Rosenthal originally intended to find out if the teachers\' physical attractiveness affected students\' evaluations. They found it doesn\'t, but teacher behavior did. The implications of the study: it takes as little as 6 seconds to make a lasting impression on your students.</p>\n<p>As you move into a new year with new classes, you may be considering what sort of impression you want to make on the students when you have your first lesson. What exactly should a teacher do in the first few lessons considering that these first impressions are so important?</p>\n<h3>Strict or fun?</h3>\n<p>One opinion you\'ll hear from a lot of experienced teachers: start strict. Teachers taking this view see the opening of the term as a chance to establish authority in the classroom. The idea is to make students understand right at the outset of the term that you are not their friend, and the classroom is a place for learning.</p>\n<p>In time, once your authority as a teacher is in place, you can ease your management style and become more friendly. Starting strict means you won\'t be beset by classroom management problems later in the year, and you can get on with the job of creating learning in the right kind of classroom environment.</p>\n<p>There\'s a lot to be said for the strict first policy, but not everyone agrees with it. While it\'s undeniable that our work as teachers must involve managing groups and disciplining poor behavior, as English teachers we work within slightly different parameters.</p>\n<p>First, since a language classroom must necessarily involve language, creating a tightly controlled environment in which students abide by traditional classroom codes (like being quiet) risks stifling communicative freedom. Second, punitively run classrooms create high levels of anxiety, and the risk-taking behavior necessary for successful language learning is thought to mix poorly with anxiety. Third, language learning is highly experiential in nature - students have to do it it to learn it. That means that the quiet, passive and submissive classrooms which are often associated with \'good behavior\' are counter-productive.</p>\n<p>Therefore, the beginning of the school term for a language classroom teacher means establishing that language classrooms are different from \'school\' classrooms in many ways - talking and taking risks is encouraged.</p>\n<p>Who is right?  Should we start by laying down the rules and making the students see who\'s boss, or  create a positive and friendly classroom climate where exploration of new language and ways of communication is encouraged?</p>\n<h3>Making decisions</h3>\n<p>Unfortunately there\'s no magic bullet. Both options have problems. Starting strict sets up smooth classroom management, but runs the risk of alienating your class even before you know what they are capable of. Starting fun sets you apart from \'those\' teachers and creates an classroom that students look forward to, but then there are boundary problems and students may push things \'too far\'.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the choice of strict or fun may depend: teaching a class of 50 students will require a different approach to a class of 12, working with grade 3/16 isn\'t the same as grade 3/1, and the needs of a class of 12 year-olds can\'t be compared to a group of IT specialists working in a bank.</p>\n<p>Also, a teacher styling himself on Colonel Miles Quaritch from the movie Avatar will disagree with a teacher who believes in Stephen Krashen\'s affective filter hypothesis. Trying to impose a single solution on every classroom across all teachers is simplistic.</p>\n<p>Reading around other blogs on this subject I found a lot of support for the \'start strict\' approach. It seems that the concern for classroom management is paramount. I have to agree that good classroom management is important, but I must question whether \'being strict\' is really the answer. Do we really need the first impression we make on our classes to be one of dictatorial rule-maker? Surely there are better ways of keeping order in the classroom than sacrificing the critical opening lessons with power posturing.</p>\n<p>I freely concede that my opposition to the \'start strict\' approach is personal. As a student, I took a dim view of teachers who started the year with a \"In my classroom you\'ll do as I say\" routine. Yawn. And as a teacher, being rather small and scrawny means I have never been able to instill even the vaguest flicker of fear in any of the classes I\'ve taught.</p>\n<h3>Breaking the ice</h3>\n<p>So I argue for a middle path. We need to create a meaningful teacher persona for the classroom, but we also need to create the expectation that the language classroom is a zone where language is explored and learned. To do that, students must participate in activities, communicate with other students, and have fun making meaning.</p>\n<p>A useful solution is an ice-breaker. Getting students involved in an activity as the first thing in your first lesson gives students a clear message that you expect action. There are rules too - speak English, complete the task, make meaning. The focus is off the teacher and on the foreign language.</p>\n<p>I have different ice-breakers for different contexts: describing favorite pictures, a cocktail party, group guessing games. For large classes I use a classroom map. With 50 students, it\'s not possible for students to get up and walk around, so I give a large piece of paper to each group of 4 to make a map of the members of the class (in English) according to some specified (or chosen) characteristic like hobbies, family size, or birthdates.</p>\n<p>Each group finds out the relevant information from others in the class, and makes an \'information map\' of the room.

However, if we have no dependents or financial worries at home, is this really the best way to go about living in a laid-back place like Thailand?</p>\n<h3>Busy doing nothing</h3>\n<p>For the past month, I have been doing what many would view as \"nothing.\" My school contract ended, and after finishing three weeks of traveling, I moved back to Trat and began my life as a slacker in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I have been living in Trat town while working the occasional English camp and going through the hiring processes for jobs starting next semester. Though I have had to prepare for many interviews and demo lessons, as well as travel around to several English camps, I have had quite a bit of time to myself. After realizing that ruminating gets boring pretty fast, I had to find other ways to occupy my time.</p>\n<p>I began practicing guitar. Even though my rhythm and dexterity are still lacking, I am finding that I am making slight progress.</p>\n<p>I also began learning Vipassana meditation. Though it is still difficult to practice for even 10 minutes, I am finding that the practice does affect my stress levels and lucidity throughout the day.</p>\n<p>I have been studying Thai more intensively. It may be difficult to open a Thai language book at the end of a long teaching day, but I certainly have no excuse for not working hard at it now.</p>\n<p>Finally, I have started writing for the first time. As you can see, I still need to work on it, but I am finding that writing helps me clarify my thoughts.</p>\n<h3>\'Slacker\'</h3>\n<p>The term slacker comes from World War I, where it was used to refer to people who shunned their responsibilities (i.e. draft dodgers). Today, it has a slightly different meaning, but its implications are no less negative. When we imagine a slacker, we typically imagine a lazy bum who does not help with group work and shows up to the office late.</p>\n<p>Often, we imagine someone without a job or any hobbies at all (besides sitting around and watching television). In the film Slacker, these stereotypes are challenged. The characters may live bohemian lives, but they are not necessarily lazy. They just don\'t spend their time working. Instead, the characters prefer to spend their time reading, writing, making music, making films, watching movies, and discussing abstract ideas.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In some sense, these are noble pursuits since it is through daydreaming that many productive ideas are born. I have been finding the same things out these past few weeks. As valuable as it is to teach extra lessons, both in a monetary and personal sense, sometimes we need to focus on other things in life. We need to take the time to improve ourselves in other ways.</p>\n<h3>Using time wisely</h3>\n<p>So think about this: is it more worthwhile to teach that extra lesson and go shopping in Siam Paragon or to take the time to introspect and focus on your hobbies and personal growth? I think a balance is necessary; in fact, I have been quite bored at times this past month. That is actually why I have been working at the English camps. I needed something to occupy myself.</p>\n<p>In order to find fulfillment in life, we need to apply ourselves to things and achieve goals, but it\'s important to remember that not all things worth applying ourselves to pay.</p>\n<p>So take a day off, wander around and try anything that looks interesting. Maybe you\'ll find you want to spend more time practicing Muay Thai than doing corporate teaching gigs. Remember that the purpose of working is not to earn money to go to bars, go shopping, and be lazy, but to earn money to engage in pursuits that lead to authentic fulfillment, or perhaps find fulfillment in the act of working itself.</p>','','2017-05-13 18:23:55',1,'2017-05-13 18:23:55','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31880,96,'My classroom','my-classroom','A room away from home','A stimulating and educational classroom is what every child needs. It has to be simple, child centered and most of all caters also the needs of students who have learning needs. ','<p>As soon I came back from holiday, my mind was in a whirl about what I was going to do with my classroom.  I had two days to figure it out but I spent it battling my post-holiday blues.</p>\n<p>My excitement on having a planetarium theme for decoration had long gone.  After a foggy mind and pointless imagination, I had decided, I would make the best of what I had inside my room.</p>\n<p>I remember, the first time I set my foot in my classroom, I was told not to put, hang or paste any decoration on the wall as it might damage the paint.  \"Could you imagine the cost of repainting a wall full of holes?\"  It was a battle between a principle and practicality but I couldn\'t imagine teaching in a void room.   I understand that decoration doesn\'t mean sticking things on the wall. However, here are my reasons why decorating a preschool classroom is important.</p>\n<p>1. It is a place where children learn even if the teacher is not teaching.  The stimulation level those things children find inside the classroom are enormous</p>\n<p>2.  It is the students\' room away from home.  What they find in the room could make them ease, comfortable and eager.</p>\n<p>3. It is the place where you show how much you care for your students especially on things that matters to them.</p>\n<p>4. It is an environment that encourages love, affinity and excellence for learning.</p>\n<p>So, in spite of the sweltering heat that soaked me in sweat, my room is done in a week.  I did the following things.</p>\n<p>Recycled old decorations<br />Re- arranged cabinets to create more space<br />Accentuated the ceiling with party paper poms poms<br />Used party hats on birthday corner<br />Put a red  old Burmese wooden umbrella on the reading corner<br />Bought some green vines that drape along the window pane <br />Hung my old flashcards with newly cut paper flowers<br />Made the play area get  more pegs, blocks, cars and more toys<br />Got real plants growing on water<br />Had a small glass fish tank for mini aquarium.</p>\n<p>A stimulating and educational classroom is what every child needs.

We get rain, but we don\'t get thunder and lightning. I love experiencing it now.  Don\'t grouse about it. Enjoy it.','<p>It\'s the middle of May, the beginning of the rainy season! I\'ve got some tips for you to help you enjoy these next few months of precipitation.</p>\n<p>I should clarify that I\'m in Yangon, Myanmar, where we get 2500 mm rain per year as opposed to Bangkok\'s 1500 mm. Furthermore, all our rain comes in this half of the year. They are connected, but Thailand has a rainy season; Myanmar gets the monsoon.</p>\n<h3>Bring an umbrella</h3>\n<p>This may seem like obvious advice, but during the monsoon, you can\'t look out of the window to predict the weather. It can go from cloudless and sunny to torrential downpour in a matter of minutes.  From now until November, bring a brolly every day.</p>\n<h3>The brolly ratio</h3>\n<p>You should just resign yourself to the fact that you\'re going to lose 5 to 10 umbrellas over the course of the rainy season. Don\'t be upset when it happens. I do wonder what the taxi drivers do with all those umbrellas that get accidentally left in their cabs.</p>\n<p>I have discovered a principle regarding losing an umbrella. The higher the value and quality of the umbrella, the more likely you are to forget it somewhere. The ten-dollar, big, wide umbrellas with lights in the handles are the most likely to  be left behind in the taxi. The cheap, defective, mass-produced,  3-dollar jobbies will stick with you for the entire season.</p>\n<p>Buy cheap brollies because you\'re going to lose them, and the cheaper they are, the less likely they\'ll disappear.</p>\n<h3>The right shoes</h3>\n<p>This depends upon where you work, but the rainy season should mean changing your footwear. Leather? Forgettaboutit. No leather. Ideally, you can wear flip flops made from rubber or plastic.</p>\n<p>Nothing is more waterproof than our own skin. I got a pair of nice dress shoes that look like leather but they\'re made from PVC. That\'s what you need.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Get wet</h3>\n<p>There are some folk that get worried about getting wet. Stressed out. They run through the rain. They let the weather dictate their daily routine. Look, as I said above, human beings are waterproof. We get wet and it\'s not a problem.</p>\n<h3>Develop a sense of awe</h3>\n<p>For me personally, I grew up on the west coast of the USA. We get rain, but we don\'t get thunder and lightning. I love experiencing it now.</p>\n<p>From the distant thunder when you get a bright flash of lightning and then a loud rumble several seconds later to the instantaneous explosion when you look out the window to see if a nearby building has been hit, the tropical storm is one of the most exciting parts of living here.</p>\n<p>Don\'t grouse about it.

He\'d obviously led a long career but had fallen on hard times.</p>\n<p>In an industry in decline, he was deemed surplus to requirements and had been reduced to working a few shifts a week. I heard him talking about how he needed a full-time job as his son was still at university and he had many bills to pay. Although he tried to hide it with his unfailing politeness and cheery demeanor, I saw a man who suddenly felt irrelevant and unwanted in the workplace.</p>\n<p>He had likely been in the same job for most of his life and felt he couldn\'t do anything else. I sympathized with him but, like most Millennials, I probably thought \"that\'ll never happen to me. I\'ll keep up with the times and I\'ll always be an asset.\"</p>\n<p>Ten years later however and now I\'m not so sure of myself.</p>\n<h3>Hooked on Thailand</h3>\n<p>Within the next year, I will be returning to my homeland in the UK to live permanently after seven years as an expat in Thailand. I never intended to stay here for so long.</p>\n<p>After I completed my education I started to drift, unsure of what to do next and lacking self-belief. After experiencing a few rejections, I lost confidence and stopped applying for jobs. At some point, I decided I needed to do something radical (well, radical for me) so I signed up to be a volunteer English teacher in Thailand. I thought this might be something I could do for a year or two, before heading back home and starting a career.</p>\n<p>Like a lot of expats in Thailand however, I ended up being seduced by the lifestyle and soon vowed never to leave. I had become a little lost back home and my lack of confidence had hindered my personal life as well as my job prospects. I found it hard to make friends and I was awkward around people<br /> <br />In Thailand, by contrast, I found it easier to be myself. The beauty of travelling is that it automatically makes you more interesting and nights out always involve meeting new people and sharing stories. Everyone you meet seems to be on a mission to find themselves and there is a strong camaraderie among travelers and expats.</p>\n<p>My main reason for staying though, was love. I got married to my girlfriend in 2013 and we moved in together; everything was perfect for a while. I was content with my life as a teacher and my wife and I planned to open our own language school in her hometown.</p>\n<h3>A new arrival</h3>\n<p>Then everything changed. My son was born and I suddenly realized I couldn\'t raise a family working in such a precarious industry. Although happy at my school, I was essentially doing a job any random backpacker fresh off a four-week TEFL course could do. More importantly it doesn\'t pay nearly enough money.</p>\n<p>For a few years I thought I might be able to make it in Thailand doing something else but I was kidding myself, it was time to make a change. If I wanted to make any kind of life for me and my family, I had to return home. I was nervous about telling my wife however. She has studied abroad but at heart she is a hometown girl and I worried she would be reluctant to leave her family. Fortunately, she understood and agreed with me. As much as she loves her hometown, our son\'s well-being is paramount and he should have the best opportunities.</p>\n<h3>Looking to the future</h3>\n<p>So now I must prepare to rejoin the workforce again and while I feel fairly confident I can find a good job, part of me is still terrified I\'ll meet the same fate as my old colleague at the newspaper.</p>\n<p>My biggest fear is that things may have changed so much that my skills will be inadequate and I will be overlooked in favor of people who have spent their time investing in themselves while I, in the eyes of a potential employer, have been messing around in Asia for the last seven years.</p>\n<p>What will recruiters think of someone who has spent such a long time living abroad? Will they be dismissive of my ESL experience? Will they look at my CV and see a 32 year old who has no marketable skills and very few career accomplishments? Will I even fit in anymore? It\'s very scary indeed and not how I pictured my life at all.</p>\n<p>Thankfully I have a lot more self-belief these days and I\'ve heard a lot of positive reports from other former teachers who have returned home and found their ESL experience was looked on favorably by employers.</p>\n<p>Despite the life-changing experience I\'ve had as an expat, I\'ve always felt a lingering sense of failure. I\'m envious of my friends, all of whom have been at least modestly successful in their careers and I find myself avoiding them because I know hearing about how well they are doing will make me depressed.</p>\n<p>At heart though I\'m a positive person and I feel excited about the prospect of finally achieving my potential. Nothing is guaranteed but I know I\'m making the right decision for my family.</p>','','2017-05-16 18:55:38',1,'2017-05-16 18:55:38','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31893,10,'A day out in Suphanburi','a-day-out-in-suphanburi','A town that really does have an off-the-beaten-track feel','It\'s a comfortable 90-minute drive north from Bangkok and seemed to have plenty to offer even the most demanding day-tripper.

Perhaps when you are flanked by tourism heavyweights like Ayutthaya and Kanchanaburi, it\'s difficult to get a look in?</p>\n<h3>Divided opinions</h3>\n<p>Suphanburi is the home town of the late Banharn Silpa-Archa, who was Thailand\'s Prime Minister from 1995-1996 and made his considerable fortune in the construction business. It\'s also the home town of Khun Ben, who doubles as my gym trainer and Thai best friend and the feisty Khun Lee, who my wife has known for many years.</p>\n<p>If you ask Khun Ben about Suphanburi - as I have on several occasions - he normally makes reference to the fact the town boasts a Thailand Premier League football team and it\'s also an easy place to walk around, Easy inasmuch as people rarely walk along the footpath and disappear down potholes. Apparently Prime Minister Banharn always took great pride in making sure his hometown was kept in pristine condition.</p>\n<p>When we asked Khun Lee if she had any recommendations on places to see in Suphanburi, she wasn\'t quite so complimentary. \"There\'s nothing to do there\" she said, \"It\'s shit!\"<br />Then she paused for a moment, \"and it\'s always too bloody hot\"</p>\n<p>However, with Khun Lee\'s gushing endorsement still ringing in our ears, we decided to give Suphanburi the benefit of the doubt.</p>\n<h3>Temples and shrines</h3>\n<p>According to Trip Advisor\'s &lsquo;top ten things to do in Suphanburi\' the two &lsquo;must-sees\' at the top of the list are both temples. Well, one\'s a Thai temple and one\'s a Chinese shrine if we\'re splitting hairs. Neither sets the pulse racing when you have become as &lsquo;temple-jaded\' as I have, but after hitting town at just before nine on a Sunday morning, we decided to tick the places of worship off first.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>The City Pillar Shrine or &lsquo;Dragon Shrine\' almost made me fall in love with temples again. It was wonderful. Dominated by the magnificent dragon that looks even more impressive in the flesh than on any Google image search, there was a well-stocked koi pond, a museum, an array of fierce-looking guardians and warriors carved in stone, an observation tower and even a 7-11 convenience store designed to blend in with its surroundings, complete with ornate, temple-style roof. Now there\'s a first!</p>\n<p>As you enter the shrine compound from the car-park and koi pond, there is a covered walkway with an Amazon coffee shop, looking totally out of place and totally empty. The walkway is lined on both sides by snack vendors selling grilled meat balls, soft drinks and the local speciality - a bland but not unpleasant sponge cake with a solitary raisin on top. Everyone needs something to nibble when they walk around a shrine.</p>\n<p>I engaged several of the food sellers in conversation. They seemed keen to talk to a foreigner if only because they don\'t get too many around these parts. I was immediately struck by how quiet and softly spoken the locals were - even more so than your average Thai. In fact, this was to be a recurring theme throughout the day. My Thai friend Ben is quiet and softly spoken. He\'s a lovely lad. Everyone we came into contact with in Suphanburi displayed those same characteristics. It gave the whole place a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I found it most appealing.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan2.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>We moved on to the second temple just a few minutes drive away - the far busier Wat Pa Lelai Woraviharn, which offered a complete contrast to the temple before. Whereas The Dragon Shrine felt perhaps a little &lsquo;touristy\' with very few Thai-Chinese worshippers in attendance, Wat Pa Lelai Woraviharn was packing &lsquo;em in for some serious Sunday morning merit-making. Hundreds of locals were lining up to enter the main shrine, all clutching their garlands and incense sticks. Proper temple!</p>\n<p>As far as I could see I was the only farang there so while my wife, mother-in-law and sister-in-law disappeared into the temple I unintentionally made an awkward nuisance of myself simply by just being a farang. It\'s amazing how many things I can touch that shouldn\'t be touched when I\'m left alone for five minutes. Often I feel safer just being left outside, possibly tied to a pole, but the temple\'s main feature is a long corridor of murals, telling wondrous stories from Suphanburi\'s past so I spent a very pleasant twenty minutes perusing them and avoided getting into any more bother.</p>\n<p>In a dusty and unattractive corner of the temple compound, someone had had the foresight to set up a tourist information desk. Ah, so foreigners do come here sometimes. The young man manning the facility looked as bored as it\'s possible to look so I ambled up to the desk with the sole intention of giving him something to do. I asked him in English where I could buy the new Suphanburi FC football shirt (a question one often asks at temples) After asking me for clarification at least half a dozen times, we switched to speaking Thai and life became so much easier.  He had no idea where to get one.</p>\n<p>The day\'s itinerary had been lovingly put together by my wife, God bless her! and she had pencilled in five local attractions, culminating with a nice restaurant for an extremely late lunch. With the two temples already under our belt, it was time to move on to something educational and the excellent Farmers Learning Centre.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan3.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>A farming expert</h3>\n<p>The Farmers Learning Centre (it has a much more convoluted name in Thai I believe) doesn\'t even make Trip Advisor\'s &lsquo;list of 24 things to do in Suphanburi\' and let me tell you now people, we need to put that right. I couldn\'t shower enough praise on it if I tried.</p>\n<p>Everything you need to know about Thai farming and rice-growing is here in this magnificently well-run, open-air complex. It\'s a living, breathing glimpse into Thailand\'s agricultural past and present.</p>\n<p>You can feed fresh straw to the happy-looking buffaloes. You can gen up on your rice-growing techniques from the numerous information boards. There are a couple of museums to look around, instantly making you appreciate the life of Thailand\'s humble farmer even more. You can climb a wooden observation tower to look out over the vast plantations. An hour just flew by. And apart from another farang and his Thai partner (the only other foreigner I saw all day in Suphanburi) we were the only visitors there. It was a crying shame.</p>\n<p>In truth, the FLC probably lends itself best to school trips. I could picture hordes of noisy children filling in the answers to farming questions on a pre-prepared sheet and generally doing the opposite of what their teacher tells them to. But today there were no schoolchildren. There was nobody. Just us.</p>\n<p>What few staff there were simply had nothing to do and I suspect something of an irreversible malaise had set in. Some of them, dressed in traditional farmers garb, were dozing in the shade whilst others played around on their smartphones. When I showed interest in an old wooden piece of farming equipment, an elderly lady bowled straight over to explain to me how it worked. She was entertaining and informative and she hooked me in straight away. Talking to me was the highlight of her day. She had so much knowledge to give but not enough people to share it with.</p>\n<p>I guess most people were in shopping malls and movie theatres sucking on the air-conditioning. Who wants to walk around in the hot sun and become an expert on traditional farming methods by actually talking to experts? But I can\'t be the only one who finds that sad.</p>\n<h3>Get me out of here I\'m melting</h3>\n<p>There isn\'t a duller topic to talk about than Thailand\'s weather but I pause to mention it here because we had possibly chosen the hottest day since records began to embark on a day trip to Suphanburi. Let\'s face it - Thailand is too hot for travel. You may start the day with the best intentions, dare I say it, with a spring in your step as you take in the first couple of attractions. But an hour or two into the day and you\'re a beaten man. Every ounce of energy and motivation drains from you and even putting one foot in front of the other becomes an ordeal. I\'m constantly left wondering how many gazillion times more enjoyable travel in Thailand would be if it were twenty degrees cooler.</p>\n<p>It\'s for these reasons I have a begrudging admiration for your &lsquo;proper\' Thailand traveller. Those who don\'t have the luxury of being able to scurry back to an air-conditioned car after each temple and farmers\' centre but rely on stifling local buses and fan-cooled budget hotel rooms in which there is absolutely no escape from the heat. I for one salute you!</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan4.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>But away with such small talk! My wife hadn\'t come to The Farmers\' Learning Centre to learn about which month was the best for harvesting or listen to someone prattle on about seed drills. She had read on various Thai travel forums that the FLC had one of the quirkiest coffee shops in the entire province. Not only was the interior of the shop designed to make you feel like you were in a time machine but drinks were served in glasses that resembled electric light bulbs and the selection of cakes was to die for. Or at the very least leave the establishment a kilo or two heavier. Glasses in the shape of electric light bulbs, Imagine that!</p>\n<p>The coffee shop interior lived up to all our expectations but when our four iced lattes arrived at the table, where were the light bulb glasses? And if I\'m brutally honest, the cake display cabinet was two thirds empty. Something was clearly amiss so my wife, feeling underwhelmed by the whole experience, summoned over the most senior looking member of staff.</p>\n<p>The lady apologized for the distinct lack of cakes and fancy glasses and said \"we don\'t do that stuff at weekends because we are too busy and the staff can\'t cope. You should come on a weekday\"</p>\n<p>In conclusion, if you go to Suphanburi\'s quirkiest coffee shop on a Saturday or Sunday (the only days that most of the working population can manage) you are not going to get the full show. This of course is the kind of thing that the clickbait travel bloggers should be telling you - but don\'t.</p>\n<h3>Double pricing at the buffalo village</h3>\n<p>The Farmers Learning Centre was always going to be a hard act to follow and pit stop number four - The Buffalo Village - didn\'t let us down. Signposts to the village were non-existent and even our sat nav advised us to ask for directions from a local. After driving down a couple of dusty roads off a highway to nowhere, we eventually found it.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan5.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>This place was a little busier. I counted nine people. If the owners ever get serious about attracting day-trippers en masse, then signposts would undoubtedly be a great start. Then again, everywhere in Suphanburi has an off-the-beaten-track feel and we shouldn\'t really complain.</p>\n<p>We wandered around the village for half an hour and that was probably half an hour more than it deserved. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with it, it was just the kind of commercial tourist attraction I loathe.  Within thirty metres of the entrance, there was a young girl taking our photo. This would later be displayed in some hideously tacky &lsquo;buffalo village\' picture frame for us to view and hopefully purchase on our way out.</p>\n<p>Beyond the photographer was one of those comical wooden figure set-ups where you can put your head through a hole and imagine you\'re a farmer leading his buffalo around the paddy fields. Just past that was a souvenir stall with an endless display of buffalo paraphernalia that no one could ever possibly want or need. If you\'ve ever fancied decorating your home with a buffalo fashioned out of sea-shells, then this was the place to pick one up.</p>\n<p>Then an old lady approached and asked if I fancied riding one of the animals. \"You be same John Wayne\" she said.</p>\n<p>I think you get the picture. I don\'t need to go on.</p>\n<p>But let\'s give some credit where it\'s due. The Buffalo Village had a double pricing system, something that angers long-term expats like nothing else in Thailand. The admission fees were clearly displayed in English on the ticket office wall. 30 baht for Thais. 150 baht for foreigners. There was no attempt whatsoever to cover things up by using Thai script or any other kind of evil trickery.</p>\n<p>Do I like paying five times more than my wife to look at essentially the same things? Of course not. But I\'m not one of those foreigners who waves his arms about, pisses in his pants, causes a scene and threatens to write angry letters to The Bangkok Post. And for one main reason. I\'m enjoying a day out with my Thai family. The last thing I want to do is spoil the day and darken the mood by acting like a twat.</p>\n<p>However, I did tell the nice lady in the ticket office that I had lived here for 27 years, paid taxes, put a decent amount of money into the Thai economy and had a Thai wife to take care of. I delivered my rousing speech with a smile on my face whilst all the time clutching the 150 baht in my hand - a fee I fully expected to pay.</p>\n<p>The nice lady in the ticket office said \"you same Thai person. 30 baht for you\"</p>\n<p>It\'s fair to say that I left with very charitable thoughts towards the establishment and as for the name of that film where John Wayne rides around on a buffalo - it\'s still on the tip of my tongue.</p>\n<p>My mother-in-law, who accompanied us on the day out, is now well into her seventies. She enjoyed a very successful career as a nursing sister at a large government hospital before retiring some 20-odd years ago.</p>\n<p>She goes to bed at eight every evening and gets up at 3.30 in the morning (or the &lsquo;middle of the night\' as I prefer to call it) She performs her early morning prayers, has a light breakfast and then checks her pulse and monitors her heart rate along with other potentially life-saving data. Although she\'ll allow herself the odd chocolate treat or gooey cake, she survives mainly on a diet of nuts, plants, herbal teas and funny-coloured rice. A fitter old age pensioner you couldn\'t wish to meet and I\'m convinced she\'ll outlive me by a considerable distance.</p>\n<p>After several hours wandering about under the hot Suphanburi sun, she was definitely starting to flag - but present her with the opportunity to mooch around a traditional Thai market with lots of fruit and veg for sale at knockdown prices and it\'s as if someone has plugged her into the mains switch. Before long she\'s whizzing up and down the aisles like Usain Bolt\'s pacemaker.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan6.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>Ye olde Sam Chuk</h3>\n<p>Folks come from miles around to visit Suphanburi\'s 100-year-old Sam Chuk Market, which was to be our last stop of the day. It\'s not uncommon for the odd Thai TV star or celebrity, certainly if they live in the province, to be seen slurping noodles at their favourite shophouse restaurant. There are plenty of old-style eateries at the Sam Chuk Market. But for the most part, it\'s a grid of small sois where you can buy everything from a straw hat to children\'s toys to bunches of asparagus to home-made ice cream. Families have sold their wares at Sam Chuk for generations.</p>\n<p>The four of us walked around the market for an hour and came away with enough food for a fortnight. Cheap? The sellers were almost giving it away. One seller who spoke excellent English, called me over and asked if I had tried the best &lsquo;nam manaaw\' (lime juice) in Thailand and offered me a taste. He was right. It was an incredible lime juice. \"The secret is in the honey that I add to the mix\" he told me.</p>\n<p>It was a perfect day for taking liquids on board and what better than a lime juice with honey. I bought six bottles.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/suphan7.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<h3>A terrific restaurant find</h3>\n<p>We ended a tiring day at the superb Loft Coffee House and Restaurant, which again came highly recommended on various Thai travel forums as &lsquo;the only place to eat in Suphanburi\'. It\'s several clicks outside Suphanburi Town but so worth the effort. The moment you enter, you can feel that Loft is an &lsquo;in place\' to be. A restaurant with its own social media buzz but not trendy in a pretentious way. The food is Thai / Western fusion with four menu pages devoted to just desserts. I ordered possibly the best ever chicken and cashew nuts I\'ve eaten in Thailand (85 baht) and we capped a fine meal with milo ice cream sundaes and Korean ice dessert with fresh mango. All dishes were well-presented and the service was fast despite us snagging the very last table at a busy time of day. The four of us waddled out, patting our stomachs for less than 300 baht a head.</p>\n<p>Suphanburi is certainly great value for money and we\'ll definitely be back. But we\'ll make it during the cool season next time.</p>','','2017-05-22 17:55:46',1,'2017-05-22 17:55:46','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31914,52,'June 2017','june-2017','It\'s still a very busy time for recruiting teachers to work in Thailand','Our monthly TEFL course news blog has all the latest news, deals, promotions and special offers from Thailand\'s leading TEFL course and training providers.','<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/seetefl.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai&nbsp;has been teaching a full-time 120-hour TEFL course for over eleven years, and can boast&nbsp;and can boast over 1,200 graduates.

That\'s not a figure of speech - I really am bonkers! If I think that you aren\'t channeling your entire life towards me, I\'ll fly off the handle and my sulks can last for days','<p>Hi, I\'m Nan from Isaan and in a few weeks, I\'ll (hopefully) be your wife. As we haven\'t met yet and you\'re on the internet looking for someone like me, I\'d like to give you my real profile...<br /> <br />This is who I actually am and not what I wrote on the dating website or what I said on Skype. Are you ready? OK, here we go...<br /> <br />First off... those photos I sent; they don\'t actually look anything like me. They were taken a long time ago when I was cute... and even then they were distorted beyond recognition by some of those fantastic filters that come with Instagram. A couple of them aren\'t even me... I just liked them.<br /> <br />Anyway - my name is May and I\'m from the north of Thailand. I have a large family and we\'re pretty poor. I didn\'t graduate high school because I was too lazy to study... although, I\'ll tell you with a straight face that it was because I had to work for my family on the farm. (I\'ve not met a single farang who didn\'t believe that one!)<br /> <br />I\'m twenty-eight years old - even though on my profile it says that I\'m twenty-one. I\'ve had nothing but bad luck trying to ensnare, sorry... meet a farang boyfriend when I tell them how old I really am. It\'s a harmless enough little fib, right?<br /> <br />I started having sex when I was about twelve or thirteen. The boys at school seemed to like me a lot more when I was willing to have sex with them so I just went ahead and did it. I had a baby when I was fifteen and my mom takes care of it most of the time. I think it\'s a girl but I can check with my mom if you\'re interested.<br /> <br />Soon after the baby was born, some of my relatives and other men in our village started giving me money and gifts for sex so it turned out to be pretty profitable. They were all married men but we kept it discreet. It was a win-win for everyone.<br /> <br />When I was seventeen I moved to Pattaya. I told my parents the same thing I told you - that I worked as a receptionist in a hotel. Well, that\'s partly true - but at night, I walked the streets freelancing. I did this for a few years but as I became increasingly out of shape it was harder to get customers, so I went back home.<br /> <br />I\'d tell you that I\'m looking for true love but that would be a lie. I could have found &lsquo;true love\' with a Thai boy years ago. I was a very pretty teenager and could easily have settled down with a nice local lad. Unfortunately for those guys, I wanted expensive toys that they couldn\'t afford to buy for me.<br /> <br />So, here\'s where we are today - I\'m now looking for a Western man who has money and is willing take care of me, my kid and the rest of my family. I know my best years are long gone, but most of you online marks are pretty gullible so I should be able to work up a bit of the old magic - especially if you\'re getting on a bit.<br /> <br />In exchange for your cash and my company, I\'ll also reluctantly give you average and uninspired sex - at least for the first year or so. The sex will dry up eventually as I\'ll find it increasingly hard to act the part of a loving wife. To be honest, almost everything you will ever do - even the nice, well-intentioned things - will annoy me. My disdain and resentment of you will soon be next to impossible to conceal and you may eventually figure this out so I want to be ready for that if it happens. <br /> <br />Oh, something else... I\'ve had an &lsquo;on-again-off-again\' relationship with a boy in my hometown almost my whole life. You know him as Somchai. He\'s the one sleeping on the couch when you Skype-call me. Yeah, he\'s not my brother even though I said that he was! Sorry about that. Anyway - when I\'m bored and horny I\'ll go over and spend the night with him. This isn\'t going to stop just because we get married - although I\'ll make a reasonable effort to not get caught.<br /> <br />My ongoing infidelity only works one way. If you so much as make eye contact with a girl, I\'ll cut your f***ing dick off! I\'m dangerously unstable when provoked and I\'m also insanely jealous. That\'s not a figure of speech - I really am bonkers! If I think that you aren\'t channeling your entire life towards me, I\'ll fly off the handle and my sulks can last for days - so don\'t piss me off.<br /> <br />Oh, here\'s a heads up: I\'m absolute rubbish at any kind of housework. My mom\'s always telling me how lazy I am. LOL! She reckons that I should get up before lunchtime and start taking care of my house and my appearance, etc... but that seems like a lot of trouble so I won\'t be doing any of that.<br /> <br />Actually, after you get here, I won\'t be doing any kind of work at all. My main focus will be on how I can get more cash from you to buy stuff that I don\'t need or even really want. I also want to parade you around town so people can see how clever and successful I am.<br /> <br />My family will always be laughing at you. Yeah - that\'s why they\'ll always look so happy when we go over and visit. Basically, the stupid fat guy (that\'s you) is gonna be buying us all dinner and whiskey! But lap up the attention, my love - that\'s OK with us! Pride, dignity and a moral compass all deserted our family years ago after we were conned out of the land we used to own. But you\'re here now. Poverty isn\'t going to be a problem anymore, right?<br /> <br />Oh, and here\'s something else I should mention... You know that money I keep on asking for when we chat online? Well, I lied when I said it was for my gran\'s medical expenses. She\'s actually in great shape! The truth is, my brother (fuckbuddy or whatever) has a dreadful gambling problem so it mostly goes on bailing him out of trouble with loan sharks. I hope you don\'t mind. It\'s only money, and more to the point, it\'s only your money...and (I assume) you\'ve got loads of it.<br /> <br />I know by now that you\'re thinking that this is all a bit of a cheek and that you are possibly having second thoughts about us. But actually, if you come up with regular cash, don\'t rock the boat and keep your sexual demands to a minimum, I don\'t see any reason why this shouldn\'t work out just fine.<br /> <br />Love, lust, and libido have clouded your judgment so far and with a bit of skill on my part, there\'s no reason why we can\'t both string out this charade for a few years at least.<br /> <br />Well, that\'s it, my love. That\'s the truth about me and my family. Can\'t wait to see you.<br /> <br />I love you forever, Nan xxx</p>','','2017-06-04 20:40:14',1,'2017-06-04 20:40:14','2017-06-05 10:10:15'),(31916,20,'The DoS by default','the-dos-by-default','What can happen when your director of studies is a clueless foreigner','I\'ve worked under four foreigners. The first one was fantastic. A fully qualified teacher with his own business who really wanted to be the best. The thing I liked the most about him was his honesty. The next three were just terrible people. ','<p>I worked for a language centre for two years and it was definitely my most enjoyable teaching job. I gave it up to get a normal 9-5 job so I could spend more time with my girlfriend.</p>\n<p>About 50 teachers came and left in my period. There were a lot of wrong \'uns but also a few gems. These gems are still my good friends today. But I\'d like to talk about my old director of studies.</p>\n<h3>A DoS by default</h3>\n<p>My old director of studies was this burly English guy who seemingly barely got past his GCSEs. He got the job because he played the game and had been there longer than everyone else. This guy had sold his soul for a paycheck of about 60,000 a month.</p>\n<p>I remember first meeting him for an interview and just getting bad vibes from him. He was socially awkward and was completely inept. Never trust a man who doesn\'t make eye contact.</p>\n<p>During my two years at the centre I was only late once. I had half a sick day (even though my boss wanted me to not go home \'cos he was too lazy to cover me), and I had students signing up again to learn with me. It was all good. I kept busy teaching 30+ hours a week, and my boss kept busy leaving me alone and looking busy himself.</p>\n<p>But as with any inept boss who fears losing their job, they can\'t help themselves by breaking things that are not broken.</p>\n<p>He did many dishonest and stupid things, but I\'d like to recall my first problem with him.</p>\n<p>I worked six days a week. I was lucky my schedule was always Monday to Friday and stayed that way \'cos many students wanted to learn with me. I chose to do Saturdays as an extra. My usual hours were 12.00-20.30 - Mon-Fri.</p>\n<h3>Lost drinking time</h3>\n<p>One day, my schedule said I was done at 6pm on a Friday. Wahoo! I never got to leave early. So, on the Friday I was all set to clock out and have a beer. He called me into the office and asked for a \"massive favour\". He asked me to cover a part-time teacher from 6.30-8.30 as she had to go to hospital.</p>\n<p>Now, I really didn\'t want to have to do it, but he said he really needed me to. I also \'assumed\' I\'d get the money from the class as she was part-time. I said yes and ruined my beer time.</p>\n<h3>Where\'s my money?!</h3>\n<p>Come the end of the month there was no extra money for the class. My boss said I was contracted a certain amount of hours and I was below my quota. I said that wasn\'t fair and he should have told me at the time. I still would have covered the class, but I appreciate honesty. He obtusely said \'You could have just said no\".</p>\n<p>From there on in, he\'d ruined any trust and decency between the two of us. Any classes that needed to be covered were met with \"Oh, I\'m so busy marking tests and proof reading\". He knew it was BS, but because he was an inept boss, he didn\'t know how to take control. He went off and printed a poster saying \"Teachers must cover classes when asked!\". A real manchild in charge of 30+ teachers.</p>\n<p>The second incident I had was with a private student who signed up for 80 hours. A great guy who travelled for work so just wanted to chat and practise his English.</p>\n<p>Well, one night I had a few beers and forgot to set my alarm. I woke up at 10am to a phone call from the sales girl, \"Where are you?\". I apologised and asked if someone could cover me. They said my student didn\'t want a different teacher, so don\'t worry. My student said it was no problem. He would see me tomorrow.</p>\n<p>Come the end of the month - my boss docked me the equivalent of 2 hours part-time from my salary. If another teacher had covered me, I wouldn\'t have been docked he told me. He had got his revenge.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately for me, my student cared about who was teaching him. I ended up just sticking two extra hours down on my extra pay sheet and they paid me anyway. Again, my boss was totally inept and just assumed I never lied on my pay sheet. I only did it that one time.</p>\n<h3>Can you travel?</h3>\n<p>The 3rd example incident is the reason why you take care of your staff and don\'t try to cheat them. My boss, after all the shitty and underhand tricks he played on people, asked me to work on Saturdays at a different centre. A centre far away from where I live.</p>\n<p>I thought it was just to cover a course. Maybe 20-40 hours and then be back to my local branch where I was contracted to work. I agreed to cover there for no more than 8 Saturdays. He said, \"Great! But if we need you there permanently on a Saturday, you can do that, right?\"</p>\n<p>I knew exactly what he was doing and I just said \"You know what? The course you want me to cover - I\'m not sure I can cover it now. Let me go away and think about\". He replied sarcastically, \"You\'ll think about it???\" And I never covered that class.</p>\n<p>My language centre was very busy back then. I pretty much always had a full schedule where other teachers didn\'t. Teachers who weren\'t so popular (but on the same money as everyone else) were given mundane tasks like putting all the books in order. That took about 10 mins and it was back to twiddling their thumbs again.</p>\n<p>I didn\'t care that they were earning the same as it wasn\'t my business and I\'d rather be teaching than sat doing nothing.</p>\n<h3>The nightmare ends</h3>\n<p>I\'m pretty sure my old boss was fired about a month before I left. They said he went home for a holiday, but he never returned. The Thai owner did his job for the last month.</p>\n<p>I knew something had happened to him so I offered my services to help. She admitted that they didn\'t actually need anyone to do this job. All he did was create schedules for teachers and find new teachers. She could do that. She then began to ask questions like, \"what exactly did he do?\". I ripped the \"teachers have to cover!\" sign off the notice board and said \"He made signs like this when his tricks didn\'t work and he didn\'t know how to assert himself\".</p>\n<p>She just smiled looking baffled.</p>\n<h3>One out of four ain\'t bad</h3>\n<p>I\'ve worked under four foreigners. The first one was fantastic. A fully qualified teacher with his own business who really wanted to be the best. The thing I liked the most about him was his honesty. He would admit his mistakes which made him very humble and easy to get on with.</p>\n<p>The next three were just terrible people. They weren\'t qualified to manage and certainly didn\'t have the experience to be in control of anything. Perish the thought they ever had to teach an unruly class of young learners. They\'d be a shivering mess in the corner after the lesson had finished. But they always had a stupid answer for when things went wrong. It was never constructive and their arrogance just did more harm.</p>\n<p>Maybe if all these unqualified teachers out there had a qualified boss it wouldn\'t be so bad. Someone who knows how to manage people and utilize them. Reward the good ones and dispose of the bad ones quickly.</p>\n<p>Instead, they tried to manage by lying and cheating. They thought that being a boss gave them some kind of omnipotence. That they could constantly lie and cheat people making 35k a month and these people would never ask questions nor just walk out one day. \"Party Paul has really left us in the shit today! He\'s not picking up his phone and Dave saw him down Cowboy last night\". Yea, creatures of habit behaving like creatures of habit - shocking!</p>\n<p><strong>Craig</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/depressed2.jpg','2017-06-04 21:03:23',1,'2017-06-04 21:03:23','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31918,41,'Getting the kids hooked young!','getting-the-kids-hooked-young','My goal is to not frighten the lives out of my students','I\'m stepping back from the serious, academic approach and working on making my classes something that kids look forward to - even if they aren\'t learning as much. ','<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Teaching English in Thailand isn\'t just about sharing your knowledge of the language. You\'re also sharing your culture, your stories, and your quirky ways, etc. All of you and what you eat and how you dress are important aspects of being an English teacher here in the Land Of Smiles.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Schoolday memories</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">In addition, I\'m more and more convinced that it\'s just as important for us to not scare kids away from learning English from someone else in the future. This is especially true if you teach younger kids as I do.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I know this can happen because my chemistry teacher at school was an utter bastard and he put me off chemistry&nbsp;lessons for life. On the other hand, my economics teacher was brilliant and I learned a lot from him and pursued the subject into higher education with enthusiasm, years after he had exited my life. I owe a debt of gratitude to that man and I also would like to kick my chemistry teacher in the bollocks!</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">In the twenty-first century, language learning has to be an enjoyable experience. You can say the same thing about other subjects, so really... education itself must be enjoyable for it to be effective. I\'ve singled English out because I teach it and it\'s also the only subject at school with so many different and confusing angles to it.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">For example, in my school, the students get an hour with me, an hour of \'sound lab\' and three hours with a Thai English teacher in a typical week. That\'s three ways to learn one subject. It\'s confusing for the students, it\'s ineffective as a way to teach and it\'s putting children off learning all together... and that\'s my beef!</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">In general, Thailand has happy-go-lucky students who enjoy school. State schools don\'t pressure students to do well or work hard compared to Asian neighbours like Japan, South Korea or Singapore. This is reflected (very apparently) in their global educational ratings - but that\'s not what this article is about. I have long since stopped raging against the machine. The machine didn\'t care when I did and I just got depressed!</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Working within the Thai system</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">No matter how important you are at your school - there have been farang teachers before you and there will be farang teachers there after you leave. Your students will move up through the system and have new teachers and learn from new books.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">The textbooks will probably be awful because Thai administrators can\'t accurately judge them for their efficacy and ease of use. The foreign teachers may be found wanting because the people who hire them have no way of measuring their ability to do their jobs. And even if they do have a handle on what makes a good native English speaking English language teacher (deep breath), it\'s not likely that their budget can afford one.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">So, the books change each year, the farang teachers come and go and the Thai teachers fumble through their classes doing what they can to make their own lives easier. Added to that, the kids are being ushered in and out of different rooms to learn one subject. I\'ve found these elements of my work to be frustrating, as this \'system\' provides no consistency for the students when they are trying to absorb a difficult and varied subject like the English language.</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Try until you can\'t be bothered!</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">But for me, the most debilitating aspect of teaching is the Thai students themselves. It is their eagerness to throw in the towel when something looks like getting difficult that does the most damage. Thais are competitive and attentive only until there\'s a chance that they will lose or fail. Then they quickly lose interest and move on to something easier! If there\'s a rung missing on the ladder, Thai students will step off the ladder rather than try to find a way up it.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">This lack of drive and initiative is my biggest source of frustration in a classroom. (I\'m not blaming the kids for this... it\'s just a fact of Thai school life that initiative and inquisitiveness aren\'t on the test so it\'s not taught.)</span></p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Thinking of the future....</span></h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">This brings me back to my point about kids being scared away from learning English. As well as judging myself on how well my kids absorb knowledge, I should pat myself on the back for not having frightened the life out of them and putting them off learning English from someone else in the future!</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">Perhaps in the past, I was taking things a bit too seriously in the classroom. Maybe I was teaching my lesson plans faster than students were learning them. Perhaps the textbooks were just impossible to teach and learn from (which is very likely!) Maybe the students were taught things by other teachers that were simply wrong! Grrr!</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">If you want what\'s best for your students, it\'s easy to let all these frustrations creep into your classes. I\'ve done it... we all have. It\'s hard not to.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">So I\'m stepping back from the serious, academic approach and working on making my classes something that kids look forward to - even if they aren\'t learning as much. I\'m sure a lot of the more serious-minded \'proper\' teachers will tell me I\'m doing it wrong. That\'s fine and they may have a good case.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">I\'ve been teaching for a long time. That doesn\'t make me a good teacher - it means I\'ve been teaching for a long time! In my experience and in my opinion - it\'s too easy for a teacher to put students off a subject for life. It\'s happened to me and I don\'t want it to happen to students that I teach. Perhaps in time, long after I\'ve disappeared from their lives, they\'ll benefit from that. They may even thank me for it.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\"></span><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">At least they won\'t think of me in fifty years time and want to kick me in the bollocks!</span></p>','','2017-06-06 16:46:19',1,'2017-06-06 16:46:19','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31921,41,'Don\'t dream it, just do it!','dont-dream-it-just-do-it','Don\'t be that person who lives a life of regrets','If the worst happens, just come home!

You know someone or you\'ve spoken to people who have gone overseas to live, play and work. You\'ve even done some online research to help you decide if it\'s something you might want to follow through with.</p>\n<p>It\'s an option that you like to daydream about but you need a push... but here you are; car payments, student loans, credit card debt... the great adventure isn\'t going to happen for at least a few years, there\'s always tomorrow, it can wait, there\'s always time to do this stuff later, blah blah blah!</p>\n<p>Well, it can\'t wait! And if you are thinking about moving to another country for a working adventure then maybe this article will make you sit up and take the idea more seriously...</p>\n<p>(I\'m not going to get very deep into the following reasons to \'just do it\' as each one of them can be explored in much greater depth on your own without any help from me.)</p>\n<h3>1 - You\'re hired!</h3>\n<p>The first thing you\'re probably concerned about is getting a job. This is especially true if you don\'t have a pile of savings to fall back on. You could be in trouble if you get laid off or you simply decide that you want to come home. The good news is that it\'s a great job market out there. Billions of people are learning English all over the world and you can soon find yourself at the front of a class with a stick of chalk in your hands! The jobs are out there.</p>\n<h3>2 - ...and here\'s another one of me on the beach!</h3>\n<p>The next is obvious - you get to travel and see a bit of the world. You also get paid for doing it, too. Living in a different culture is not the same as being on holiday in one. You knew that, right? But it\'s still worth saying as many people fall in love with the place they go to on their hols and sometimes that place is a bad option if you want to live and work there.</p>\n<h3>3 - You will change!</h3>\n<p>The personal education of living far away from home cannot be underestimated. Your views of the world will change and you will be more critical of yourself and everything that you have previously not paid much attention to. If you take the move seriously and do a sensible amount of planning and research, you\'ll finish your \'tour of duty\' as a much wiser and more worldly person. You will be a better human being.</p>\n<h3>4 - A teacher? Me?</h3>\n<p>Don\'t ever think that you can\'t do the job. It\'s easy! Once you get over some jitters about being in front of a room full of kids you\'ll very quickly develop a teaching style of your own and start having fun. You don\'t have to be the best English language teacher... wanting to do the job and enjoying it is enough. From my experience you will still be better than many teachers who have been in the classroom for too long, boring the kids to death!</p>\n<h3>5 - You\'re hired... again!</h3>\n<p>Teaching English abroad can also work out for you professionally back home, too. Graduate programs do like that \'Real World Experience\' when they sort through applications. There are also many employers that will be impressed by your ability to move, adapt and excel outside of your normal comfort zone. It says something about your determination and flexibility that you can design and execute a plan along a path less travelled. It\'s a feather in your cap that others won\'t have.</p>\n<h3>6 - You\'re a hit, they love you!</h3>\n<p>OK, this sounds a bit cheesy, but you\'ll change the lives of other people, too. If you are interested in discovering new places, people and cultures it\'s reasonable to expect that other people will have similar desires too, right? They may not have the same resources at their disposal to make their dreams come true, but they\'ll take a big interest in you and yours. So, both in a professional way as a teacher and in a sociable way as a person, you are going to have a lasting impact on everyone around you in your new world.</p>\n<h3>7 - But Mark, it\'s dangerous!</h3>\n<p>I\'ve travelled across three continents and met the warmest and most hospitable people you could ever want to. I can promise you that you are just as likely to get into trouble at home as you are abroad. Put aside any worries you have about moving. There are no boogymen waiting at the airport to make your life a misery. I\'ll bet that every foreign horror story you have read or heard about involves someone doing something irresponsible... and this isn\'t you, right?</p>\n<h3>8 - What if I had just done it!</h3>\n<p>Consider this: In the future you may be back home in an office, gazing out of the window from your desk, wondering what would have happened if you had just taken the plunge and gone on the big adventure. Now, with the mortgage, the car payments, the kids... it looks like a dream is all it will ever be! What would your life have been like if you\'d just said \"Mum, you can turn my room into an office... I\'m off on an adventure!\"</p>\n<h3>9 - You deserve a break.</h3>\n<p>Don\'t you actually deserve this working holiday? The last few years have been hard work and up next is the real world of work and bills and stress... You can recharge your jaded young batteries and prepare yourself for the next fifty years of work by taking a short time off to discover yourself and others. The real world back home isn\'t going anywhere. That lifetime of servitude to \'the man\' can wait a while longer.</p>\n<h3>10 - The other side of the planet, isn\'t the end of the world!</h3>\n<p>So if the worst happens just come home! If that job sucks, or you get sick, or the view from your apartment is another apartment... don\'t stay! You\'ve lost nothing and you\'ve found out that the life of a traveller isn\'t for you. Don\'t take it personally. If you do, that bitterness spills over onto other people that you care about. Just see the whole thing as a lesson learned. Move onwards and up!</p>\n<p><strong>Finally, here\'s a true story that happened to me about forty years ago...</strong></p>\n<p>I moved to America from the UK in 1987. My first permanent job was working as a waiter at The Spaghetti Warehouse in Dallas\' West End. A young man I worked with wanted to go abroad to Europe with his bicycle and we started talking about it... well, he did! He was a skinny fellow, a terrible waiter and a brilliant bloke. On our afternoon breaks, I listened to his excited plans and smiled inside because I knew that he\'d never do it. I\'d heard similar dreams so many times before. But he was good company so I let him unload. I even gave him my mum\'s address on the Isle of Wight in the UK and told him to stop by there if he was passing. It was a joke of course.</p>\n<p>About three years later I saw him again. I didn\'t recognise him. He\'d put on about fifty pounds and was a really good looking and confident man. It turns out that our chats had forced his hand and he actually DID take his bike all over Europe and even stayed at my mum\'s house for a few days, too! But this was NOT the same lanky kid who was always dropping plates on the floor and messing up his food orders. I knew from just looking at him after his trip, that whatever he decided to do with his life - he was going to be a success.</p>\n<p>Anyway - If you\'re thinking about teaching English abroad, I hope this helps you to make up your mind. I\'ve read a million blogs from people who tend to over-glamorize their working holidays abroad. I\'ve tried not to do that. But it is work and it isn\'t a holiday... it\'s worth thinking about that, too.</p>','','2017-06-10 00:20:56',1,'2017-06-10 00:20:56','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31925,21,'18 red flags','18-red-flags','18 points to consider carefully when choosing a school','From unpaid mid-term breaks to having to pay for white-board markers. What are the things that turn teachers off the idea of working for a particular Thai school - and are they justified?','<p>Three years ago, a teacher called Jonathan, who runs <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/groups/teachingjobsinthailand\">a very popular Facebook page</a> dedicated to the discussion of teaching jobs in Thailand, put together an interesting bullet-point list of the 18 ‘kinds of school\' that he would not work for.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The original list was passed on to me very recently by another teacher and gentleman who has taught in both the Thai school system and in private language schools. <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/wandering65/\">Thanks a lot Gordon!</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jonathan\'s original bullet points appear in <strong>bold</strong> type. ALL OF THE comments below the bold type are either mine or Gordon\'s.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, let\'s get started.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>I wouldn\'t work for.........</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. Schools that don\'t pay a teacher for the breaks between semesters - regardless of how long a teacher has been at the school</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This evil practice started several years ago.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the good old days, teachers signed a 12-month contract and were paid for all of those twelve months - whether they were working or not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Understandably, many teachers looked forward to a month or so off on full pay and with it the chance to perhaps take a vacation and recharge their batteries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then a few of the more unscrupulous agencies out there saw a chance to claw back a bit more from the teacher and decided not to pay them for mid-term breaks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To ‘nickel and dime\' a teacher who is already working for ‘survival wages\' is simply a despicable practice. I don\'t know how else to put it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Schools and agencies who don\'t pay their teachers for school holidays are still thankfully in the minority, but their numbers do seem to be increasing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teachers who find themselves in these situations are naturally worried about how they are going to survive for several weeks with no income. Schools and agencies realize this and will sometimes promise the teacher opportunities to do paid mid-term work such as Summer camps, etc and to keep the earnings coming in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But as many a teacher will tell you, promises are there to be broken and the extra work doesn\'t always materialize.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. Schools that don\'t provide teachers without even the most basic health insurance package.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>All the private language schools that I have worked for full-time have provided some sort of basic health insurance package. I would never consider health insurance as a benefit - it\'s a necessity! Discuss it at the interview.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3. Schools that dock a teacher\'s pay when they are late for work - even by just a few minutes.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps I was just lucky but at all the places I worked, on the VERY rare occasion I was late for my first lesson of the day, another teacher would take over and kill time until I arrived. There was never ever a fuss made about the situation. There were certainly no fines or punishments.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, to my horror, a foreign teacher on social media told me that his school docked his pay for turning up just five minutes late. And this was after the teacher had arrived at least half an hour early every other day that week and had voluntarily stayed behind after school to help with a class project.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Admittedly, I have never worked at large Thai schools with lots of students and staff members. Perhaps these larger organisations do need to implement a ‘clocking in\' system where the rules need to be the same for both Thai and foreign staff. But being fined for being five minutes late still seems harsh.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br><strong>4. Schools that fail to furnish teachers with an adequate sized teachers\' room.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Good point! A teacher needs enough space to work in and prepare lessons along with a locker to store their valuables.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5. Schools that have no computers available so teachers are forced to bring their own.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I never used a school computer except maybe to surf the web during breaks. Let me bring Gordon in on this point. He says \"in today\'s day and age, I prefer to save school related stuff on my own computer anyway\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m with Gordon on this. I always carried my own small, lightweight laptop with me. They\'re not too expensive and they\'re always a good investment. And of course you keep all your private stuff in one place.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br><strong>6. Schools that don\'t have an internet connection.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"This goes without saying\" says Gordon, and once again I agree with him. It doesn\'t break the bank for a school to equip a teachers room with wi-fi.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Believe or not, I once worked for a school with a Thai female boss who when in a bad mood because someone had upset her, would turn off the wi-fi router purely to punish the teachers. Eventually one of us would pluck up the courage to knock on her office door and tell her that the internet was down. \"I\'ll see what I can do\" she would bark back. After a while she\'d turn the router back on. After she felt we had suffered enough. How petty was that? May your school be free of tinpot dictators.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>7. Schools that insist you have to remain on the premises for longer than the legal \'working day\'.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"This is a difficult one\" says Gordon, \"in the past, I have argued the toss with a school so I could leave early to teach part-time elsewhere - when of course it wasn\'t affecting my classes at the school. By and large the school management has always agreed to my demands\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>8. Schools that don\'t allow teachers to exit the school premises during a break just to perhaps run a quick errand.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>What! You can\'t pop out for ten minutes to the nearest 7-11 to buy an ice cream or to pay your electricity bill? That\'s prison, not school!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"That is ridiculous and I\'d never accept it in a million years\" adds Gordon.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m with you all the way brother.\r\n	<br>\r\n	<br><strong>9. Schools that don\'t have air-conditioning in some or all of the classrooms.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"air-conditioning is certainly preferable, although at my last school we didn\'t have it in every classroom\" says Gordon.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally, I don\'t think I have ever taught in a classroom without air-conditioning. I can\'t imagine teaching in a classroom without air-conditioning. However, I\'ve discovered over the years that not every teacher likes air-con so it comes down to personal choice this one. If you\'re teaching at a school in Northern Thailand during December and January, you\'ll probably need your woolly hat and gloves anyway, but April in Bangkok? No air-conditioning? Are you insane?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>10. Agents that pay you less than 40,000-50,000 baht a month and much less than that if you are working at a school outside Bangkok.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The topic of teacher pay is debated in plenty of other places on the ajarn website so I\'ll spare you all the agony of going over it again. You know what you are worth! I wouldn\'t disagree with those figures above though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon says \"this is certainly open to debate and I understand both sides of the argument (I\'m sitting on the fence I know), although I did leave my last job because they told me a week before I was due to start that all teachers would have to take a ‘slight reduction\' in salary of 2,000 baht per month\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>11. Schools that take advantage of Filipino teachers and pay them considerably less than native speakers.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having spoken to a number of Filipino teachers and bloggers over recent months, I think the days of Filipinos working for 15,000 baht salaries might be coming to an end. There are still plenty of schools and employers offering that kind of salary but whether they are successful in finding qualified, capable Filipino staff is another matter.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think Filipinos are finally waking up to the fact that they are not only worth more, but Bangkok especially, has become a much more expensive place to live. In addition, more than a few have told me that the situation back home in The Philippines has improved considerably so teaching in Thailand is not the draw it once was.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>12. Schools that fail to come up with a proper teacher contract.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are cynics out there that will tell you a contract between an employer and employee ain\'t worth the paper it\'s printed on. The Thai Labor Department would disagree and should you ever need their assistance, it will help to produce a contract. So get one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>13. Schools that employ you as an English teacher but then want you to teach other subjects (math, science, etc).</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon says, \"I have experienced this. I was told the day before I started that I would be required to teach economics. Fortunately part of my degree included economics but just you try teaching even basic economic theory to matayom one students when their English is fairly basic to say the least\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think rather like air-conditioning in classrooms, this one comes down to personal choice. I can understand Gordon\'s frustration at having to teach a subject to students who aren\'t up to the task, but I think many teachers would welcome the opportunity to teach something other than English and try their hand at maths, science or whatever.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>14. Schools or agencies that pay only for the semester so it avoids paying a teacher for the semester break.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon calls this a ‘blatant rip off\' but I\'m not 100% sure I grasp the situation. Is this when a school says they will employ you for just one semester and then it\'s job done and goodbye? Or they offer to pay you ‘semester by semester\' and not for the breaks in-between, in which case we could refer to point number one at the top of the list couldn\'t we?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>15. Schools that don\'t provide a teacher\'s desk or table on which to put your books, CD player, etc.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A teacher needs a desk. Nuff said.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>16. Schools that don\'t provide free whiteboard marker pens.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon says \"I have actually bought my own markers before so that\'s not a big issue although I suppose they should be supplied; however, you could argue tradesmen have to purchase their own tools\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hmmm.....interesting comment Gordon. I\'ve never thought about it that way but I\'ve never heard of teachers paying for markers either.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m going to come down on the schools\' side a little bit here though because quality white-board markers are not cheap and I often saw teachers be disrespectfully wasteful with them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At one language school I worked at, teachers were allowed two board markers a week - a blue one and a red one or two blue ones - and you guarded them with your life. Two markers a week was more than enough, even for those of us who taught a lot of hours. However, if you were one of those teachers who filled every spare inch of the whiteboard (usually an inexperienced teacher) or a teacher who loved to draw elaborate pictures, then you were in trouble.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Honestly, I never blamed schools for keeping a tight rein on board-marker usage but to make teachers pay for them just doesn\'t seem right.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>17. Schools that make a teacher teach an unreasonable number of periods / hours a week.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon says \"this is a difficult one. I have in the past taught between 16 and 21 periods a week but would prefer to teach around 16 x 50-minute classes. I am now working at a language school and last month taught 119 hours, which is a lot, and something I don\'t want to do for more than a year - so I\'m tending to side with this\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>119 hours in one month Gordon? Luxury. My record was 184 contact hours in one month and we had to pay the language centre owner to work there!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Seriously though, I did do 184 classroom hours in one month but it\'s not something I would recommend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This again comes down to personal preference though because there are so many variables. How difficult is the subject matter? (is it a lesson you could almost teach in your sleep) &nbsp;How good or bad are the students? (lessons with better, more engaged students will always pass more quickly and require less effort) How much prep time is needed? (you don\'t need much at all if it\'s a lesson you\'ve taught countless times) And let\'s not forget - how money-hungry are you? (I\'ve worked with hourly-paid teachers who would have taught 16-hour days if given the chance)</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>18. Schools that don\'t provide teachers with a free or at least subsidized lunch.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have never worked at a school that provided a free lunch so naturally I don\'t really see it as a deal-breaker.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Truth be told, I\'m something of a fussy old grumpy boots when it comes to my lunch-break and I always have been. For me, lunch breaks are to be spent in a quiet corner, far from the maddening crowd and alone with my thoughts. It\'s a chance to catch up on other work and not have to open my mouth for an hour, except to shovel in food of course.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I generally don\'t mind sitting with a group of other foreign teachers and perhaps sharing a few jokes and war stories, but to have to share mealtimes with students or Thai staff and make uneasy, polite conversation would do my head in. They need the break just as much as the foreign teacher does. Let\'s eat and not have to talk shop!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gordon adds \"What is your definition of a decent lunch? I\'m not ungrateful when offered a free lunch but I do tend to only eat at most 2-3 times a week in a school canteen. Maybe I\'m a little picky. Although I regularly eat Thai food, not all of it I find appetizing\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m going to add another one of my own to our bullet point list.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>19. Schools that seem vague about the visa and work permit process.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A while back I wrote an article on how every good school has a <a href=\"/ajarn-street/articles/the-burning-question-march-2015\">work permit superhero</a> - a Thai person whose sole responsibility is to take care of teacher work permits, visas and other aspects of red tape. They are worth their weight in gold. Often on first name terms with folks down at the labour and immigration departments, the work permit superhero knows exactly how the system works.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alas, a number of schools consider the whole visa / work permit thing to be one big headache and it\'s one reason they have turned to teacher placement agencies. Let the teacher agencies handle all the paperwork.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In conclusion, whether you\'re working for a school or an agency, make sure they have a superhero. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Both Gordon and I would love your comments on this one. Are there any more bullet points you would add to the list? Do you disagree with any of the above?&nbsp;</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_street/nojobs.gif','2018-06-11 05:04:00',1,'2017-06-15 05:04:36','2018-08-27 15:33:09'),(31941,71,'A chance to visit Hong Kong','a-chance-to-visit-hong-kong','An enjoyable place but Bangkok still edges it','Hong Kong actually quite surprised me; I wasn\'t expecting it to be as clean as it is, and honestly my only impression of it beforehand was night scenes of the city from Hollywood scenes I\'ve seen.','<p>Even though I\'ve lived in Thailand for several years, I shamefully haven\'t really visited many places in the region.</p>\n<p>Never been to Singapore.

I didn\'t use any public transport aside from the quite efficient airport link train, but it looked to be quite well organised and maintained too.</p>\n<p>All of this comes at a price, though; aside from electronics, which I found lower priced than most other places I\'ve been, everything is quite expensive by Bangkok standards, directly comparable to New York. Having been an expat in Thailand for so long, I guess I forgot what it felt like to buy a US$2 bottle of water!</p>\n<p>I was interested to visit the city as I have several teacher friends working thereabouts, one of which is highly qualified and working at one of the \"English Foundation\" schools (whatever those are) making the equivalent of about 350,000 THB per month.

Naturally, and in Thailand\'s defence, The Foreign Ministry has criticized the report for using data that is both \'biased and outdated\'</p>\n<h3>\"Poor ranking\"</h3>\n<p>To quote from Dan\'s article - \"the report highlighted Thailand\'s high rates of crime, violence and the low reliability of the country\'s police services as reasons for the country\'s poor ranking, which placed it in 118th place among 136 countries\"</p>\n<p>However, Dan does go on to say, \"Despite all these worrying statistics, many still consider Thailand an amazing country, though it is important to realise its realities are far removed from the TAT\'s postcard-perfect imagery\"</p>\n<p>That\'s a very fair comment Dan. This question of \'Is Thailand dangerous?\' is always a common one. So what do other expat foreigners think? I posed the question on the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/AjarnDotCom/\">ajarn Facebook page</a> and there were some interesting responses.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Stupid is as stupid does</h3>\n<p>Mark, a teacher in Ratchaburi, was first to question the credibility of the report - \"Thailand is a safe country for visitors. I\'ve been here nearly two decades and these reports are based on dubious data. I\'d rather take my chances in Bangkok than almost any European capital! If you do something stupid then stupid things will happen to you.</p>\n<p>The Thai authorities have once again blundered by answering these allegations as it just serves to highlight the negative reports and bring bad publicity. Who cares what the WEF think? They draw conclusions based on surveys, questionnaires and guesswork.</p>\n<p>Being on the roads is dangerous in Thailand. Getting drunk in bars and resorts is dangerous. Arguing over inconsequential things can be dangerous. Eating dirty food cooked on a sidewalk is dangerous.</p>\n<p>There are lots of things that could make Thailand a risk for tourists but a little common sense and restraint can all but eliminate the dangers. This could be said of anywhere people travel to.</p>\n<p>Having read the coverage of this report I can tell you that it appears to be hysterical, vindictive and untrue\"</p>\n<p>Dan (not the Dan who wrote the article) doesn\'t seem to care much for the WEF report either. \"Let\'s see now, where would I rather go? Egypt, Qatar, Philippines, anywhere on the African continent, Brazil, Columbia, Peru, or Thailand to feel safe. I don\'t know who writes this stuff but their criteria must be a lot different than mine\"</p>\n<p>\"If you are driving or riding on the roads?...it\'s a no brainer\" added Jorge, \"but a city like Melbourne (Australia) is twice as violent with less than half the population of Bangkok. Who comes up with these stupid reports?\"</p>\n<h3>Wrong place, wrong time?</h3>\n<p>As Bangkok businessman Blake rightly pointed out - \"The things that happen here, happen everywhere in the world. There\'s always a risk of someone being robbed or raped or assaulted or murdered\"</p>\n<p>What about the opinions of a couple of long-termers? Chris has been living in Bangkok for eight years - \"Not once have I had a problem. People (Thais) usually go out of their way to help you if you need something\"</p>\n<p>John has got a decade of living in Thailand under his belt. He\'s also travelled the world a fair bit - \"Last time I was in New Guinea we were shot at in a restaurant then later on the way home. In The Philippines, Moslems shot 28 people in a bus. In London, bombs exploded in a bar. I have been in Thailand 10 years and never threatened. &nbsp;This report is not really fair. The world in general has become more hostile. Changes are taking place. We need to adapt also. Thailand as a nation is going through a huge adaption period\"</p>\n<p>\"Thailand is one of the safest countries in the world to live\" is the opinion of Saroj from America. \"I have been living here since April 2016 and I have found Thailand a lot safer than USA. People are much more concerned about their safety back home\"</p>\n<h3>Always be cautious</h3>\n<p>Katilyn feels very safe living as an expat in Thailand but adds on a cautious note - \"As the last paragraph of the article states, it\'s important to be aware of your surroundings. I don\'t put myself in drunken/bar situations and I avoid traveling by car (and if I must, I pay for better quality rides). I think this is the case anywhere you live. Be mindful and stay out of harm\'s way\"&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Lorraine, a single mother with two girls, is currently working in Oman but looks back on her time in Thailand with great fondness - \"I loved my time in Thailand and I was never threatened in any way. I only work here for the money but I would be back in Thailand if things didn\'t work out here. I loved my years there.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The Thai people where I stayed, helped me and would have given me the shirts off their back if need be. I saw the side of Thais that I suppose most Westerners don\'t see. I used to go to markets with my fellow Thai teachers to sell their second hand clothing. &nbsp;I suppose the falang helping to sell was a bit of a draw card too. Never had one \"English\" friend there. Just loved integrating into their culture.</p>\n<p>Step away from the red light districts, bars and shopping malls and it\'s a whole new world\"</p>\n<h3>One solitary incident</h3>\n<p>Finally, what about me? Do I think Thailand is dangerous? I guess one\'s answer to this question for the most part depends on how many situations you (or people you know) have been directly involved in. I have witnessed a few heated arguments and fisticuffs - usually Thai on Thai - but surely you would expect that from living anywhere for the best part of three decades.</p>\n<p>Personally, I have only ever been involved in one \'incident\' and that was well over twenty years ago. I was showing my parents around Bangkok (never an easy task when the weather is so hot and everyone is getting tetchy) and I got into an argument with a tuk-tuk driver over an inflated fare. I stupidly gave him the finger and received a slap across the head for my troubles. I got what I deserved. Totally my fault and my reaction to this day is something I\'m not proud of.</p>\n<p>If you gave me the choice of walking back home in the early hours of the morning in either Bangkok or a major UK city such as Birmingham or Manchester, I would choose Bangkok every time.</p>\n<p>Driving on Thailand\'s roads still puts the fear of God up me though.

Tintin is awesome &ndash; in his exciting travels he finds mummies in South America, discovers a treasure ship, gets lost in the desserts of Arabia, climbs the Himalaya mountains in Tibet, and even goes to the moon. Strangely, in the collection I had, he never ventured into Africa.</p>\n<p>Recently, however, I came across a copy of <em>Tintin in the Congo</em> in a bookshop in Thailand, and it\'s easy to see why this never sold in South Africa: this is Tintin as the epitome of colonial overlordship. That aside, in a series of events which includes Snowy besting a lion and Tintin accidentally shooting an elephant, they comes across a Christian missionary running a jungle school. Cool. As it turns out, one of the teachers in the school is unavailable, so Tintin graciously offers to teach the lesson and is promptly ushered into the classroom. And so we have it &ndash; Tintin, the intrepid adventurer, is a teacher!</p>\n<p>So, for three little panels, we witness Tintin\'s efforts at the front of a classroom in the jungles of tropical Africa. Not just that, he embraces the task with apparent ease!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Tintin4.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>Asking questions</h3>\n<p>In many classrooms, questioning dominates teacher talk. Questions form a crucial part of a successful lesson: they increase student participation and involvement, give the teacher valuable information about what the students already know, help to focus students\' attention, and improve the teacher-student relationship.</p>\n<p>One way in which questioning can be used is for eliciting. Eliciting involves the asking of specific questions that lead students to new knowledge. By doing so, the new knowledge is sourced from the students (so to speak), thereby making them an integral part of the learning process. By contrast, if the teacher were to simply tell the class, the students passively receive the information. So for example, a teacher may tell the students that \'a half\' is 1 part of 2, or alternatively can lead students to understanding this through a series of eliciting questions:</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Teacher: 	What is this?<br />Students: 	A cake<br />Teacher: 	How many?<br />Students: 	One<br />Teacher: 	Now watch, what am I doing now?<br />Students: 	Cutting it<br />Teacher: 	(pointing to the two parts) How many now?<br />Students: 	Two<br />Teacher:	Yes, so now we have two parts. Look at this part here, how much etc...</p>\n<p>I concede this is a maths lesson and it\'s a little contrived, but you get the idea I hope. By eliciting as we move through the material, the students are involved, and the new learning appears to come from them, making it altogether more achievable and understandable. Teachers who use this technique have a lot of fun with their students.</p>\n<h3>Problems ahoy!</h3>\n<p>But things can go wrong. A teacher has to be careful how the questions are phrased so the students\' knowledge can be activated. I have come across lessons where the teacher is valiantly trying to elicit target words, and the students are really not sure what\'s going on. To keep the lesson flowing, and to be nice to the teacher perhaps, they guess randomly at whatever comes into their heads until someone stumbles across whatever it is the teacher wants.</p>\n<p>Or alternatively they just keep quiet and scrupulously avoid making eye contact with the teacher in the hope that the teacher will ask someone else. One student recently complained that the teacher was constantly requiring the class to guess answers to questions that they didn\'t understand, and that then rejected their attempts at answering &ndash; &ldquo;Why ask if he is the only one who know the correct answer?&rdquo; the student lamented.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back to Tintin teaching in the Belgian Congo. He\'s also having a problem. In each of the three panels in which Tintin is teaching, he asks the same question and never gets his answer from the non-responsive students:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Tintin5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Oh dear. Why are the students not responding? What has gone wrong? Why does Tintin keep asking if they don\'t know the answer? If the students don\'t know, is there something Tintin can do to remedy the situation?</p>\n<h3><strong>Learning from Tintin</strong></h3>\n<p>I don\'t think <em>Herg&eacute;</em> was expecting his readers to analyze Tintin\'s pedagogical approach too closely. But there is something to learn here. Tintin\'s teaching uses the useful strategy of asking questions. Rather than just telling the class, he tries to elicit a response from the students: beneficial for a lot of reasons:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>it gives the teacher some idea 	of what the students already know, and if they know it already, it 	doesn\'t need to be retaught;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>the teacher can build new 	knowledge on what the students already know;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>hearing the information from a 	classmate (rather than from the teacher) makes the knowledge seem 	more accessible and attainable for those in the class who don\'t know 	it;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>it activates knowledge that 	students may have but not realize they have;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>it encourages discovery;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>it creates involvement and 	engagement in the lesson.</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eliciting helps to create a much more dynamic classroom in which the students can participate and give their own ideas, and the teacher has a firmer basis for delivering new information. You can read more about eliciting in chapter 8 of Classroom Teaching Strategies by Richard Watson Todd. (<a href=\"http://arts.kmutt.ac.th/crs/downloads/article_repository/20170609132338-classroomteachingstrategies.pdf\">PDF Link</a>)</p>\n<p>But we also learn that Tintin\'s teaching needs some work &ndash; he needs to reflect on his lack of success with his questions: maybe he could to consider ways of rephrasing them; or perhaps he could look at how he contextualizes the topic before he starts eliciting; or he might think about what prompts or scaffolds to put in place to help students get to the answer he is looking for &ndash; some visuals, say.</p>\n<h3><strong>Finding substitutes</strong></h3>\n<p>But all these considerations would imply that Tintin had time to prepare his lesson, which was not the case here.

The advice of \"Here\'s how to say that right\" always seems to be interpreted as \"you\'re wrong\".','<p>As a real estate agent, in my downtime, I\'ll regularly scroll through the various Bangkok Facebook groups looking for people who are looking for housing.</p>\n<p>Recently, as I was scrolling, I came across a guy that had posted a lease-takeover.  It was a beautiful condo at a great price, so I planned to send him a message to let him know I\'d be happy to co-ordinate with the owner to get a new tenant in the condo, on a new lease, on the condition that he could maintain his deposit.</p>\n<p>I never did get to post that message as I never got through the comments.</p>\n<p>Scrolling through...</p>\n<p>\"I\'m interested\"<br />\"Great place!\"<br />\"I\'m interested\"<br />\"Beautiful condo\"</p>\n<p>And then the show stopper....</p>\n<p>\"I\'m interesting\", to which the guy responds, \"I\'ll message you\"</p>\n<h3>Well it certainly tickled me</h3>\n<p>A younger Thai woman leaving this short-and-simple comment, along with its reply.  I have no idea why I found it so funny, but I did.  A little \"Tinder-esque\" exchange, courtesy of either auto-correct or a slight grammatical error.</p>\n<p>Reading it as it was written, this random girl who was just popping in to let everyone know she\'s <em>interesting</em> and to then have the guy respond, \"Well then.  In that case, I guess I\'ll message you!\".  I was in tears.  My sides hurt from laughing so hard.</p>\n<p>I left a reply, \"This is hilarious.  Thank you for this\", along with a laughing or smiling emoji or one of those things that I have no business using as a 35-year-old man.</p>\n<p>The gentleman gave the comment a like and that was the end of that.  I put down the phone, put on a movie and settled in for the evening.  For that brief moment, I forgot the country I live in.  We weren\'t done.  We were far from done.</p>\n<h3>I touched a nerve</h3>\n<p>Phone buzzes.</p>\n<p>A notification that Ms. Interesting has replied. \"Why this hilarious?  Can you explain?\"</p>\n<p>So, I did.  I explained the difference between <em>interested</em> and <em>interesting</em> in this context, why it was a funny comment and what the correct usage of both would be.  Put down the phone, returned to my movie.</p>\n<p>Phone buzzes.</p>\n<p>Ms. Interesting isn\'t happy about being corrected.  I reply, \"I\'m not here to correct.  I simply appreciated the humour of the comment\".  Put down the phone, return to my movie.</p>\n<p>Phone buzzes.</p>\n<p>Now there\'s a message request.  Ms. Interesting is a having full-blown temper tantrum.  \"EXCUSE ME!  I don\'t know what is a problem with my comments but I think it not your business....\" and on and on.</p>\n<p>And on.</p>\n<p>And on.</p>\n<h3>De-fusing the situation</h3>\n<p>It\'s 9 or 10 in the evening.  I\'m trying to watch a movie.  All I want from life right now is to wind down from a long day.  And now this.  In just a few minutes the situation has gone from \"This is adorable\" to \"Would you please just go away?\".  \"Go away\" were not the words going through my mind but I try not to curse often.</p>\n<p>I click \"view profile\".  To make matters even more entertaining, she works for a real estate company.  A big one.</p>\n<p>I reply, \"I didn\'t correct you.  You asked for an explanation.  You got one.  You\'re welcome to continue saying whatever you want.  You\'re welcome to continue working for a real estate company and incorrectly use THE MOST commonly used real estate sentence.  Now you have an opportunity to not be wrong every time you use it.  That\'s a much preferable course of action than this child-like temper tantrum.\"</p>\n<p>She began typing again.  I blocked the conversation.  My level of patience had been reached.</p>\n<h3>Attitudes to correction</h3>\n<p>I\'m not an educator.  I wouldn\'t advise any teachers to handle a situation like this how I did.  But it does highlight a challenge that I\'m sure many of you face.  A large number of Thai people seem to have a complete inability to be corrected.  The advice of \"Here\'s how to say that right\" always seems to be interpreted as \"you\'re wrong\".</p>\n<p>Even in my own office.  Completely unrelated to language.  If I need to address a member of staff regarding process being executed incorrectly and proceed to train on more effective or efficient methods, I can expect absolute zero productivity from that member of staff for the remainder of the day.  Or they just quit!</p>\n<h3>\'No improvement\'</h3>\n<p>Language related, I continue to see no improvement in the English language skills of the Thai population.  Many of the same syntax and grammatical errors continue to be used regularly.  Instead, I see and hear much of the expat community resorting to what we endearingly call \"Thinglish\".</p>\n<p>A brief and humble request to the expat community of Thailand:  Please no speak like this, okay na!  Natural and immersion learning will always be the most effective method(ology) for language.  Continuing to speak in broken English only ensures the perpetuation of it.</p>\n<p>To those taking on the challenge of learning a new language:  If someone pays you the respect of taking the time to help you, please just say \"Thanks\".</p>','','2017-06-27 19:32:32',1,'2017-06-27 19:32:32','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31966,20,'English at work','english-at-work','What level of English do employers need?','Are there English language skills gaps?

In these positions, you\'d have the power over some of the issues facing us every day as teachers, but not all. Some problems can only be addressed higher up the chain, at the ministry level.','<p>As a kid, Sundays were spent at home watching sport: tennis, cycling, golf, whatever was going. There would be drinks, a barbecue, and the arrival of friends or distant relatives.</p>\n<p>This was not at all a lazy, passive affair. There was much cheering and jeering, cursing at inane referees and linesman, and name-calling of players with inadequate training or talent. That the action was taking place in distant locations like Roland Garros or perhaps at some point in the past made no difference to the vocal counterpoint that accompanied the events on the TV.</p>\n<p>In advertisement breaks or lulls in the excitement would come arguments, analysis and opinions: \"The referee is useless\", \"The policies of the organizing body are clearly out of date\", \"That player obviously bought his position on the team\" and the like.</p>\n<p>On Monday morning, further agitation after the newspaper reports on the transcript of the driver\'s communication with the pit crew, or the results of the  governing body\'s rulings.</p>\n<h3>Staffroom commentary</h3>\n<p>In some ways, this sideline committee commentary is similar to what happens with teachers in school staff rooms. There are lots of things that go on in schools and in the teaching community which affect teachers but over which they have no control. Like sports fans watching the game from afar, teachers can only comment, analyze, criticize, sigh and roll their eyes, offer hypothetical solutions that seem obvious to them, and sometimes indulge in a bit of name calling.</p>\n<p>It\'s similar, but there is one important difference. The people watching the Tour de France or the Ashes, as I remember them, were all drinking beer and had not engaged in much physical activity for years. This fact would be announced proudly at some point, \"I played football at school, you know\" roundly implying expert knowledge and an intimate understanding of the strategies that would lead to world dominating success. Those Sunday TV couch-warriors were outsiders.</p>\n<p>Not so with teachers. In our staff rooms (<a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/archive/education-is-just-appalling/974409\">and in the newspapers too</a>), we comment on the deplorable state of our students\' language skills, or the insanity of how little teachers are paid, or the idiocy of how technology is ignored in the curriculum.</p>\n<p>However, we are not simply spectators - we are actively involved in the game, and we think we have an intimate understanding of the strategies that will lead to success. We have valuable insights, and useful opinions that we can share. If only someone would listen to us teachers, things would be better. Right?</p>\n<h3>Fixing things</h3>\n<p>But do we really know better? If you were head of department, could you do things better? What changes would you institute if you were principal, or if you owned your own school?</p>\n<p>Could you create the \'perfect\' educational environment? In these positions, you\'d have the power over some of the issues facing us every day as teachers, but not all. Some problems can only be addressed higher up the chain, at the ministry level.</p>\n<p>For example, according to the 2015 <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-news/756536/thai-english-proficiency-drops-now-3rd-worst-in-asia-ef\">English First English Proficiency Index</a>, Thailand comes 62nd out of 70 nations, and is the third worst in Asia. What can be done about this? Working hard in the classrooms may ameliorate this problem to some extent, but a joint concerted effort from the top might be needed here, as it probably involves big questions like teacher training, assessment and evaluation of students, and the allocation of resources to schools.</p>\n<p>If you were the minister of education, how would you handle these top level headaches?</p>\n<p>In the Ministry of Education Game you get to be Thailand\'s Minister of Education and make hard-hitting decisions about what can be done about English language teaching and learning in Thai schools.</p>\n<p>The aim of the game is to improve on the ministry\'s current performance (calculated on nine national and international criteria). With a budget of 2 billion Baht, you can choose which projects are worth investing in, and how big the projects should be. At the end, you get to a report on how effective your decisions are in improving things: scores in green show improvement, and scores in red mean you will shortly be shipped off to an inactive provincial post.</p>\n<h3>I am the Minister of Education</h3>\n<p>Right away, let me admit that I\'d not make a very good minister. In my latest attempt, I decided to increase the number of hours allocated to English language teaching in the school schedule, thinking that it would be good for schools to give more time to English lessons, especially considering how little access to English students have outside the classroom.</p>\n<p>This awesome idea led to an increase in English performance on the ONET examinations across the country, but because I\'d taken time away from other school subjects, the overall educational quality ranking of Thailand fell from 78th to 86th in the world. Nevertheless, there was still money left and lots of other interesting projects available that could redress the problem I\'d created.</p>\n<p>Since I believe in the benefits of teacher training, I added a nice big training project for teachers upcountry. I also changed the national examinations, and incorporated some technology into the curriculum in the form of learning apps. All up, my projects resulted in a 7% improvement in Thai education, but did not affect the EF EPI score. Hmm.</p>\n<p>The game is a fun challenge. It requires you to consider the benefits and implications of how the budgets are allocated, and to then balance competing considerations, including the needs of up-country schools and marginalized communities.</p>\n<p>In addition to being interesting, it is a good test of whether we know what we are talking about: or are we just more of those sideline weekend-warriors?</p>\n<p>To play, <a href=\"http://meg.ibankstory.com\">go to this link.</a> See if you can beat my score.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2017-07-19 01:57:23',1,'2017-07-19 01:57:23','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(31996,41,'The uphill fight to make a difference.','the-uphill-fight-to-make-a-difference','There are many obstacles in your way that you can do almost nothing about.','There are lots of good reasons why teachers are struggling to get the job done and the good news is that none of them are your fault!','<p>It\'s not your fault... most of the time!</p>\n<p>Your students speak an alien language... they are young, they think literally and without much academic imagination. Your subject though is NOT literal nor is it tangible... it\'s an abstract concept that too often defies logical analysis through young eyes.</p>\n<p>Teaching any foreign language in Thailand has an added hurdle because there are no connections between their native language and what you\'re trying to teach. Europeans can learn English more easily because there are many things that connect the two different languages... most importantly the shapes and sounds of the letters!</p>\n<p>Another thing to think about is just how important a child thinks learning English is. Probably not very! The further away from Bangkok and other large cities you go, the more apparent it is that English is just something bewildering and annoying that Thai kids try to bluff their way through before playtime or going home time.</p>\n<h3>Vegetarians eat vegetables, so zombies are humanitarians, right?</h3>\n<p>The rules of the English language... there are none, really! Just do an investigation on phrasal verbs and you\'ll quickly understand why Asian students scratch their heads and zone out in their classes! And don\'t get me started on ditransitive construction grammar... or adjective order. Grr! What we take for granted as native speakers is bloody hard work for those who aren\'t.</p>\n<p>One of the mistakes that many English teachers make is the compulsion to correct kids for things that don\'t necessarily need immediate attention. Instead of teaching them good English language skills, it\'s often easier to correct bad habits they\'ve picked up or mistakes they make. This isn\'t always good teaching practice and it doesn\'t help the students, especially with their confidence.</p>\n<p>In a recent forum debate I took part in, there was a teacher who claimed that people (like her, of course) were good at teaching English because they explain things in great detail. I put forward the argument that explaining things \'in great detail\' can be counter-productive and end up doing more harm than good, but it fell on deaf ears.</p>\n<h3>\"I taught that last week. I\'m amazed the kids haven\'t learned it!\"</h3>\n<p>If you\'ve ever worked at a Thai school you\'ll hear kids in the classes near you chanting. They\'ll be chanting their Thai lessons, English lessons, science lessons and chanting their chanting lessons! It\'s how Thai kids learn. While repetition and memorizing stuff isn\'t a bad thing, it\'s too heavily relied upon in Thailand. It\'s a lazy way for teachers to teach stuff rather than a critical way for students to learn stuff. Also, the chanting exercises leave more time for teachers to mark homework and check in with Facebook, right?</p>\n<p>And the further away from the big city you go, the worse the Thai teachers are. People who are hired to \'teach\' English are very often poorly educated in English skills themselves. Thai school owners and administrators have no way of knowing how competent or qualified teachers are, so there are tens of thousands of Thai \'English teachers\' who aren\'t up to the job of teaching.</p>\n<h3>Textbook stuff!</h3>\n<p>Another thing slowing down the retention of English language in Thai students is the absolutely appalling standard of textbooks on offer. I\'ve seen them all and they are ALL rubbish. They range from simply inaccurate to liberal trash about climate change! It\'s horrifying how irrelevant and disconnecting the materials are.</p>\n<p>Yet another stumbling block is the lack of freedom native English teachers are given to make changes that would help the kids learn. Many schools want the expensive farang hire to \'stick with the program\' rather than come up with imaginative and useful exercises that might actually work. And even if you are lucky enough to be given some scope to make your classes more appealing and useful, the back up from the school may be so bad that you end up spending your own hard earned cash on materials to make things happen.</p>\n<p>If you\'re feeling frustrated that your message isn\'t getting through or your lesson plans are just a waste of time, don\'t take it too hard. There are many obstacles in your way that you can do almost nothing about.</p>\n<p>So, there we have it.

Moreover, the medical field greatly supports early intervention too.','<p>He looked at me with those big round eyes with half-opened mouth.   I could see his glistening saliva ready to drip.  His classmates were busy writing while he was very still holding a pencil.  He leaned and told me in a whisper, \"Teacher, I don\'t know\".</p>\n<p>After testing his imitation skill in making different lines and shapes, I understood what he said.  He was 4 years old.  I believed he was transferred to our school not because of his writing inability.  In a month, other traits of delayed motor and developmental learning were apparent.  I spoke to the parents to have him evaluated but it took them a year to fully realize that their son needed help.  The remark I received was, \"Wait and see teacher, he will grow up\".  I wish he were in my class before.</p>\n<h3>Expert opinions</h3>\n<p>How early is early intervention for children with learning developmental delay, children with specific learning needs or children with special needs?   Experts say, it is very crucial while the child is still of a young age.  The purpose of early intervention is to identify children with special needs, in order to provide them the support and services  they need. These needs are physical growth, social, emotional, and intellectual development.</p>\n<p>The benefits of early intervention are well researched and documented.  Addressing the special needs of a child while young (2yrs-6yrs old), the child and the family will greatly benefit meaningful experiences.  Evidences show that early intervention increases the developmental, educational and social rewards. Moreover, the medical field greatly supports early intervention too.</p>\n<h3>Brain development</h3>\n<p>Plasticity or the ability of the brain to compensate what\'s missing or lacking is very high when the brain is still young.  Experts on brain plasticity propose that any child with disability has a very good chance to develop strengths and abilities.  The brain is rapidly developing this time.  Any means of intervention will help the brain create new pathways to augment what failed to develop. Any developmental milestones that are not being met should make the parents, family or teachers concerned.</p>\n<p>Early intervention benefits become slow as the child is growing and aging.  As a result, children develop secondary problems and most of all; they grow with low self- esteem, unmotivated, and insecure. Thus, it is never too late to address any child\'s developmental delays. \"A stitch in time saves nine, \"is a good reminder.  Early childhood intervention is central to effective collaboration on efforts by school, teachers, and the child\'s family.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he laboriously finished a page with great focus.  The glistening saliva on the side of his mouth is ready to drip.  He said, \"Teacher, I\'m finished\".  I could see, he could write the number word of 1.

I have developed a few games and props that the kids love and I will use them when they start to tire or lose focus on a more testing part of the curriculum.','<p>Have a range of activities to get your students out of their chairs and performing some actions.</p>\n<p>If a couple of students start to get noisy or refuse to return to their chairs, a useful technique is address the class as a whole and give some physical motion orders:(eg: \"Ok everybody stand up and clap their hands, walk around your chairs like elephants, lay on the floor and go to sleep...now we all sit down...etc etc\")</p>\n<p>This is an effective way to get yourself back in command and have the miscreants submit to the herd mentality and join the group to follow your commands. As you guide them back to their chairs ask them to do things in an ever quietening tone and use directions like \"tip-toe\", \"crawl\", and \"walk in slow motion\", and to \"sit quietly\"in your chair.</p>\n<h3>Keep your most popular games and activities up your sleeve and ready to use at crucial times</h3>\n<p>If you have something the students want then you have a big asset in keeping your class under control. I have developed a few games and props that the kids love and I will use them when they start to tire or lose focus on a more testing part of the curriculum. Just nicely remind students that they are doing well and that those who complete the current activity will be rewarded. Select the obedient students to get involved in the desired game or activity and enunciate that those who misbehave will not be selected.</p>\n<h3>A whole class monitoring system displayed on the board and actively adjusted during the activity is effective&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>I simply write all my students names up on the board and draw a blue smiley face next to their name when they behave well or a red sad face if they are transgressing. After all we all know that Thai people hate to lose face.</p>\n<p>The students start to compete to see who can get the most blue smiling faces and at end of the class I will give them a reward of three merit points, or stickers or candy to those with the most blue faces. Those who have red faces lose merit points. This system works well with both the 4 and 5 year olds and the 8 years olds.</p>\n<h3>Put up a student friendly lesson plan on the board at the start of the lesson</h3>\n<p>This is a great technique!</p>\n<p>You simply put up a simplified version of your lesson plan on the board. You can briefly run through it with the class and get some of the students to read it to their classmates. Its a great way to show the class that you are in control and that both you and they know exactly what is planned to happen throughout the class.</p>\n<p>This sense of direction significantly reduces opportunities for class leaders to usurp your control as you have already set down the road map and everyone has read and acknowledged it. Furthermore the students are more confident because they have a preconceived notion of what tasks are to be completed and they will be more focussed as they are less uncertain.</p>\n<p>You can also show the students that there will be a mixture of pleasant and more arduous activities and this will assist student motivation because they know what the reward is once they have done the more demanding task. As each task is completed tick it off your board plan so the students get a sense of achievement and progression as they move onto the next task.</p>\n<h3>Line the students up outside the door and getting them in order before they enter</h3>\n<p>This is a great technique to get the students into obeying the teacher mode. I had a day where I had a feeling that the students were going to be unruly. So I decided to grab the bull by the horns and get them into order outside of the classroom.</p>\n<p>First of all I had them line up against the wall. Then I told them we would be working in their writing books so I gave them each a pencil. I then took the time to give each student their book whilst they waited in line. Sure enough three books still did not have students names in them so we sorted out the issue before entering the classroom.</p>\n<p>Now my position as teacher was much stronger. They all had their books and their pencils all they had to do was to go in, sit down and start work, so this meant I could control the class from the doorway. I let the first six students go in with the instruction to sit down and start writing but sure enough they started messing around.</p>\n<p>I repeated the order firmly from the doorway and partially closed the door. After informing those inside that no other students would be permitted to enter until they all sat down, the students finally obeyed. From that point the other students entered obediently and the class went to work in an orderly manner.</p>\n<p>It may have taken a few extra minutes to get them into the classroom but it was highly effective. I was hoping that they would do three pages of their task but they displayed a great work ethic and some even managed to finish the whole book. It was amazing the affect that getting them into order before they entered class had. It is a very worthwhile and rewarding classroom management technique!</p>\n<h3>Employ a staggered punishment system</h3>\n<p>I use a staggered punishment system in my classes. First I give a warning when they violate the rules. Upon the second transgression I have the student stand up and read aloud the rule they have transgressed in front of the class from the rules that I have written upon the board. On the next transgression I have them sit on a seat away from other members of the class.</p>\n<p>At this point I address the individual student again, and remind them that if they transgress again then then they will have to write out 15-20 lines in the corner. I find that this works well as writing lines is something that is not difficult to do and gives them time to calm down. They usually have a bit of a sore hand after this task and now that they are pacified they generally will return meekly to class.</p>','','2017-07-22 17:57:09',1,'2017-07-22 17:57:09','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32012,100,'Tips for the newbie teacher','tips-for-the-newbie-teacher','Keep these points in mind and you\'ll cope far better','Don\'t get stressed by the job. Remember that you are merely the latest in a long line of farang teachers who have come and gone. There isn\'t enough time to make any real progress with students\' English so just try and make it fun for them.','<p>Teaching in the regular Thai program is generally seen as the least desirable teaching job in Thailand.</p>\n<p>For most, it\'s just a stepping stone for a better job and few have positive things to say about the experience. While the job is relatively easy - you show up, teach your classes and go with very little paperwork or homework to mark - it can also make you feel like you are wasting your time. The short amount of time you get to spend with your students added to their low level of English makes it unsatisfying at times.</p>\n<p>I\'m quite rare in the sense that I\'ve spent almost my entire time in Thailand (seven years) teaching in the regular program, save for a few months teaching EP. Since I live in a small southern province, there aren\'t too many options and my current school is so efficient at organizing my work permit and visa that I have no desire to look elsewhere.</p>\n<p>For most though, it\'s a good first job to have for a term or two before looking for something more appealing. These are a few tips for the newbie teacher that I hope are useful.</p>\n<p><strong>Forget everything you learned in your TEFL course.</strong></p>\n<p>Okay, that\'s not entirely fair. TEFL is a good introduction to teaching but a lot of the methods don\'t really work in the context of a class of 45 noisy, misbehaving Matthayom students. TEFL relies on the cooperation of students, something which you won\'t get here. Don\'t spend too much time talking, get to an activity as soon as possible and if that means eliminating a few steps then so be it.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t force students to speak. </strong></p>\n<p>At the beginning, students will be shy. Young kids will sit quietly with their heads down or point at their friends. Teenagers will go to more extreme lengths to avoid speaking.</p>\n<p>I recently taught at a technical college and the boys actually started jumping over each other to get to the door when I asked \"What\'s your name?\"</p>\n<p>I genuinely feared some boys may try to escape by jumping out of the window so from a health and safety standpoint, it\'s probably best to not pressure them in the early weeks.</p>\n<p>As time goes by, students will be more comfortable with you and hopefully less shy.<br /> <strong><br />Lower your expectations. </strong></p>\n<p>The majority of Thai students you will encounter lack a proper foundation in the English language. The better students have a good knowledge of grammar but limited speaking skills. The worst are totally illiterate in English.</p>\n<p>As such, most of the age-appropriate material you find in books or online will be beyond them. Keep the content of your lessons simple and take the extra time to make your own materials and worksheets.<br /> <br /><strong>Be a fun teacher. </strong></p>\n<p>One of my colleagues, a qualified teacher from England, once told me \"I don\'t agree with this idea that learning should be fun. You can\'t play all the time, sometimes you have to just do the work.\"</p>\n<p>I\'m not disagreeing with him but the reality is, Thai kids and teachers have been conditioned to think of farang teachers more as entertainers than educators. Bear in mind also that they spend the better part of six hours a day copying off the board and reading out loud. The last thing they want to listen to is some farang droning on too much.<br /> <br /><strong>Don\'t be overly concerned about being taken seriously. </strong></p>\n<p>Keep in mind that you were not hired because of your amazing resume or electrifying teaching methods. You were hired because it benefits the school financially or reputation-wise to have a farang. They don\'t really care what you do as long as you look nice and smile sufficiently.</p>\n<p><strong>Be patient. </strong></p>\n<p>As I said, the general level of English is terrible and the older students get, the more self-conscious they are about their poor skills.</p>\n<p>To mask their insecurity, many will try to be disruptive. Don\'t start ranting and raving as you will only look like an even more absurd figure to them. Younger kids can be managed a little more easily but teenagers will test your patience to the extreme. Your natural reaction is to assert your authority but unless you can speak Thai, they aren\'t going to respect you in that way.</p>\n<p>The best way to deal with it is to go along with the chaos. Mark the lesson as a write-off and chat with the students.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t expect support. </strong></p>\n<p>Co-teachers do exist in Thailand but they aren\'t always reliable. I don\'t think there are any guidelines for Thai co-teachers on what their actual role is in class. Some show up for 5 minutes then wander off without explanation, others sit in class the whole time but are buried in paperwork and pay no attention to what\'s going on.</p>\n<p>As for your lessons, all I\'ve ever been told in 7 years is \"teach conversation\" and \"have many activities\". Ignore this vague nonsense and try whatever you want in class. If the students respond to it, keep doing it. Don\'t feel obligated to have students standing in front of class speaking all the time. Most aren\'t ready for that anyway.<br /> <br /><strong>In summary,</strong> don\'t get stressed by the job.

On our last day, we went to all our favourite places before sharing a tearful goodbye at the airport.','<p>I had a long-winded and bureaucratic nightmare last year, but one with a happy ending. My story began in November 2015.</p>\n<p>I had been in my provincial town in Thailand for three years and had become jaded with the place. I had recently come out of an unhappy two-year relationship with a local woman who was both jealous and controlling.</p>\n<p>I had become sick of the culture, the monotony of my town and &lsquo;Thainess generally\' I longed for the West. In my head, I was looking for a way out. That came in the form of a job offer in a town close to Madrid, Spain.</p>\n<h3>A new flame</h3>\n<p>With just over a month left in Thailand, having sold my motorbike and soon to be leaving my apartment, I met the new love of my life, which suddenly threw a spanner into the works. The final month became a blur with whirlwind romance and my excitement soon being replaced with dread at the prospect of leaving someone I had only just met but had fast become infatuated with.</p>\n<p>On our last day, we went to all our favourite places before sharing a tearful goodbye at the airport. The moment I boarded the flight, I knew I had made a mistake.</p>\n<p>I touched down in a cold and rainy Madrid. It was winter in Spain. One part of me was happy to be in Europe, but the other part longed to be with the person I loved. I struggled to settle in to my new life. The school I worked at was very strict with their high standards and I was out of my depth with the formality of lesson planning and the classes themselves.</p>\n<h3>\'A stressful time\'</h3>\n<p>Outside of work, I was lonely. I had no friends, couldn\'t speak a word of Spanish and was staying in a hostel as I was struggling to find an apartment. On top of that, I was trying to maintain a long distance relationship. It was a stressful time and I lasted just a month. My heart wasn\'t in it and the school could tell. I was fired after a month there.</p>\n<p>My parents told me to stop doing TEFL, come back to England and find a real job. But my head trumped my heart and with the money I had earned in Spain, I booked a one-way flight back to Bangkok.</p>\n<p>After 18 hours, a short stop in Moscow and a few stern questions off the grumpy woman at immigration, I found myself back in the sweaty embrace of a country I swore I\'d never return to and moved in with the woman I loved.</p>\n<p>But the novelty of being back was soon replaced with anxiety. I had sold everything I had in order to fund my flight and first month in Spain and had spent a considerable chunk of my Spanish earnings to come back. I needed a job and fast.</p>\n<h3>Pounding the streets</h3>\n<p>It was February in Thailand so not an ideal time to get a teaching job, but armed with several copies of my CV, my girlfriend\'s car and a handful of optimism, I hit the streets of Pattaya, going from school to school and just knocking on doors.</p>\n<p>I soon got a job offer for a summer school in April at a semi-international school in Pattaya.<br />I felt good but my euphoria was shortlived. My thirty-day visa was fast running out and I needed to take a border run to Cambodia where the nightmare started.</p>\n<p>With a day left, my girlfriend and I took a mini-van to the border at Poipet where we were told by the unhelpful Thai official that I wouldn\'t be able to renew my visa waiver as I still had a contract to my previous school!</p>\n<p>I had given my work permit back to my previous employer and left on positive terms with no plan to return. I had simply assumed they would cancel my work permit. But they hadn\'t.</p>\n<p>So I found myself in a position where I had to revisit my previous school in a different province, get them to write a letter stating that I had left, take it to the labour office and have them cancel the work permit, then go to the immigration office to cancel my visa and leave Thailand - all on the same day!</p>\n<h3>The paperwork problems start</h3>\n<p>My first stop at my previous school was different. My friendly employer was now terse with me. She told me coldly that she \"knew I\'d be back\" and that my job was replaced with a \"hardworking Filipino\" days after my departure.</p>\n<p>After an hour and half wait, I got the half-page letter stating my termination of employment. One of the secretaries then offered to accompany us to the labour office to cancel the work permit. After another hour, that was sorted and we went to the immigration office where I was told by the official that because I had terminated my employment in December and it was now February, I faced a 20,000 baht overstay fine!</p>\n<p>Luckily the friendly secretary who was with us was friendly with someone at the labour office so we popped back, asked them to edit the dates on the document to \"today\", and returned to the immigration where my visa was cancelled without a second glance.</p>\n<p>As it was now late in the day, it wouldn\'t have been possible to get to the border in time for it to close so I chose to go the next day. The following day, I returned to Poipet and got another 30-day entry visa without a hitch.</p>\n<p>The next week or two was pretty uneventful until my new school gave me the document to take to the immigration office to get my new non-B visa. I had heard all about the reputation of the notorious Jomtien, Pattaya immigration office but had yet to experience it myself.</p>\n<h3>Immigration hassles</h3>\n<p>On my first visit to the cattle-shed as I liked to refer to the place, I was rudely told that I would need a copy of my girlfriend\'s &lsquo;house book\' as official proof of where I was staying. That was relatively simple and she accompanied me on the next visit where the same stone-faced official told me I would need my original degree certificate and would need to take it to the UK embassy in Bangkok to have it notarized.</p>\n<p>After a tense, worrying couple of weeks waiting, my degree arrived in the post and we went to Bangkok before bringing the now legalised degree to the cattle shed where yet again the same official now told me I would have to return AGAIN to Bangkok to get the now legalised copy of the degree, legalised again by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cheng-Wattana.</p>\n<p>She could have told me that before??! To top it off, another \"official\" offered to \"have the visa ready in a day no problem\" if I gave him an &lsquo;express service fee\'.</p>\n<p>No chance. I was close to wits end by this point, my funds were dwindling and I would soon have to take another border run. My girlfriend, sensing my plight, chose to make the border run a fun one, going for a weekend away in Kuala Lumpur where I forgot about all my problems in Thailand until my return to Don Muang where I got a grilling from the immigration official, saying \"no more border run!\" despite me trying to explain that I had a job and was just waiting for the visa to process.</p>\n<p>A week or so after getting back from Kuala Lumpur, I finally got the visa and \"settled\" into a relatively normal life - whatever that meant by this point.</p>\n<h3>Marriage and departure</h3>\n<p>Knowing that neither of us were happy in Thailand, in June, my girlfriend and I got married in the city hall. At least now we were legally married. After making plans to return to Europe again, my DOS at my new school told me \"the immigration called, they won\'t give you a work permit until you have your original deed poll sent over\" (my degree was under a different surname to that of my passport).</p>\n<p>The DOS and I just laughed together as we both knew I was leaving.</p>\n<p>Since then, me and my wife have settled in Italy and even with the notorious Italian bureaucracy, it turned out to be a piece of cake bringing my wife over compared to the ordeal I faced in Thailand. Now we finally have some stability in life (until Brexit happens!!!)</p>\n<p>A tip for you.

Quite an achievement, considering she still travels several times a year and acts like she hasn\'t yet hit fifty.</p>\n<p>She\'s celebrating with the whole family - a rare event, at my parents\' house, drinking beer with her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, and having a merry &lsquo;ole time.</p>\n<h3>A world of technology</h3>\n<p>As usual on such occasions, I did my obligatory calling from abroad to give good wishes and catch up with what\'s going on; thanks to the modern world, I can call via multiple routes (WhatsApp, Skype, Hangouts, you name it), and cheap data means it\'s basically free. I can\'t imagine how you longer-time expats used to have to finagle communications home; calling cards? I wouldn\'t even know where to start.</p>\n<p>Last Christmas, for example, I got to Skype-in for the entire typical set of Christmas morning festivities. With video sat right there in the middle of the living room, I opened presents with them, had the Christmas morning eggnog (which wasn\'t easy to find in Bangkok, mind you), and even played a board game long distance! It was almost as if I was right there with them. Almost.</p>\n<p>It\'s these kinds of occasions that are most taxing on the expat. You\'re with the family in spirit, and yes, you\'re making sure they don\'t think you\'ve forgotten them (or them you), but technology or not, there\'s still a distance between you all. Sure, you\'re \"living the dream,\" living in a tropical country without the stresses of the \"homeland.\" Sure, 99% of the time when you see the news from your home country, you think, \"MAN I\'m glad I don\'t have to live there anymore.\"</p>\n<h3>Geographically challenged</h3>\n<p>But even with all of the positives of living the expat dream (for those of us that want to and of which I am one), there\'s just not much you can do to mitigate missing the important family occasions in life. Even if you\'re living on an \'expat package\' making loads of money and can afford frequent trips \"back\" (and note I\'m not saying \"home,\" because that it is not), it\'s just impractical to jet 30-plus hours (in my case) across the globe for, say, a birthday celebration, momentous or not.</p>\n<p>Of course, the family always understands and may even be jealous of your \"exotic\" lifestyle. Bangkokians will grin at that. You\'ve done your bit, calling-in to say hello, and they get it. Life goes on. Yet still, as you hear the reverie on the other end of the line, it\'s hard not to think, \"I should be there for this.\"</p>\n<p>Growing up, family was always the most important thing - not an uncommon upbringing, I daresay. Generally speaking, I\'ve gotten used to not being directly a part of it anymore. I get to see them once every few years, and Skype/video calling is just a click away. Via WhatsApp and the like, I chat with many of them, including my 85-year-old nan-daily, trading tidbits of life there and back. For most of the year, I don\'t even give it a second thought.</p>\n<p>But especially for special occasions - and I\'d say an 85th birthday is one of those - I just can\'t help but think: is it worth it?</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Where was the welcoming committee? Where were the hordes of taxi drivers pulling at our shirt-sleeves with an enthusiastic chorus of ‘where you go? where you go?\'','<p>Gaz from Chester in the UK is one of my best pals. We meet a couple of times a month, usually over lunch at the local shopping mall.</p>\n<p>Gaz has lived in Thailand a number of years but during a recent conversation, I was surprised to hear that he had never been on a Thai train. He\'d never even been to Hualampong, Bangkok\'s main train station. It was high time we put that right so I suggested we go to Ayuthaya for the day. If only to prove that a Liverpool and Man United fan can get along perfectly well together.</p>\n<p>We decided on an early start in order to catch the &lsquo;special\' express train that left Hualampong at 8.30 am and would take just over an hour to reach the old capital. However, there\'s really no such thing as an early start in Bangkok, There are always thousands of city folk who do this crack-of-dawn commute on a daily basis, so after squashing ourselves on to the sky-train and then the MRT underground, we arrived at Hualampong Station shortly after eight.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ayuth4.jpg\" /></p>\n<h3>The station\'s final days</h3>\n<p>I\'ve always had an affection for Bangkok\'s grand 100-year old station. There\'s always been something to admire about its general griminess and organised chaos and the wild-eyed stares from Thai folk who have nothing better to do than gawp at foreigners. But sadly, its days are numbered. <a href=\"http://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/easy/605048/hua-lamphong-to-become-museum-as-station-moves-to-bang-sue\">Bang Sue is set to take over as Thailand\'s main rail hub in 2019</a> and good old Hualampong will become a museum. At least that\'s the plan.</p>\n<p>Gaz didn\'t look all that impressed and I have to admit we didn\'t appear to have caught Hualampong on one of its better days. The kindly man at the ticket office got us off to a decent start though. He confirmed that an express train to Ayuthaya would be leaving from platform 10 at 8.30 am sharp and two second class tickets in an air-conditioned carriage would cost 345 baht each.</p>\n<p>We then looked for something to eat and our options seemed to consist of a Black Canyon coffee shop (heaving with backpackers) and a Dunkin Donuts concession, where a solitary male employee was struggling to cope with a queue of four people. There was also a Thai food court of sorts - if the signage was anything to go by - but it had been turned into a storeroom for broken and discarded furniture. Or perhaps it was part of the new-look museum. Who can say?</p>\n<h3>Platform mayhem</h3>\n<p>Donuts and take-away coffees in hand, we made our way to platform 10, where the sleek beast that would ferry us to Ayuthaya looked more like something suitable for transporting coal and scrap iron. A young man in a khaki uniform saw us looking at our tickets and scratching our heads and kindly informed us that the train to Ayuthaya was now leaving from platform 5.</p>\n<p>With the clock ticking down, Gaz and I legged it to platform 5. Another platform and another strange-looking train, this time being hosed down with a jet wash until it was dripping wet both inside and out. Surely this wasn\'t our 8.30 express train? I interrupted a trio of three platform staff all playing around with their smartphones. The Ayuthaya express goes from platform 7 they said. And off we went again, sprinting up and down platforms like two characters in a Buster Keaton movie.</p>\n<p>We finally found something that resembled a passenger train. Another man in khaki uniform, but this time holding a flag, which instantly promoted him to the rank of expert, urged us to clamber aboard and locate our seats. We were finally off to Ayuthaya.</p>\n<p>\"345 baht for a one-way ticket in second class\" gasped Gaz as our heart rates returned to some sort of normality. \"Fuck me, that\'s expensive\"</p>\n<p>He did have a point. I had promised him a wooden bench in third class for 15 baht and the opportunity to pull down the window, catch the breezes and watch the scenery go by. But our 8.30 express train just didn\'t have that option.</p>\n<p>Second class in an air-conditioned carriage would have to do. A trolley dolly came past and offered us free coffee and some sort of cream-filled bun and the seats had an excellent recline. It was all perfectly acceptable provided you didn\'t touch any of the surfaces around you. Heaven knows what you might catch.</p>\n<p>We trundled out of Bangkok, stopping at several stations for no apparent reason. As any long-term expat and train enthusiast will tell you, the terms &lsquo;rapid\' and &lsquo;express\' were probably dreamt up decades ago by an optimist with a particularly cruel sense of humour. The Thai train system runs on only two speeds; slow and slower.</p>\n<h3>Making plans</h3>\n<p>I used the 75-minute journey time to prime my travelling companion on what lay ahead. \"When we get to Ayuthaya Station\" I said in a low whisper, \"we\'ll be pounced upon by dozens of taxi drivers all wanting to take us on a tour of the sights and temples. It\'s a standard rate of 200 baht an hour. I know this because I did this day trip quite recently with my wife. You stick by me Gaz and everything we\'ll be OK\"</p>\n<p>Well, I got that wrong. We pulled into Ayuthaya Station and it was like the grave. Where was the welcoming committee? Where were the hordes of taxi drivers pulling at our shirt-sleeves with an enthusiastic chorus of &lsquo;where you go? where you go?\' Perhaps they were no longer allowed to encroach on to the platform or perhaps the station master had chased them all away with a large broom or something? It certainly didn\'t feel right.</p>\n<p>We were going to have to hunt the taxi drivers down ourselves. How ridiculous!</p>\n<p>Gaz and I left the station and paused to look at a rather splendid map of the city which took up virtually a whole wall space. The map clearly showed all the many sights you could visit if you had enough time on your hands. A short distance away was a straggly line of taxi drivers all ready to take our money. Except a more unenthusiastic bunch it would be harder to imagine. There we were - two out-of-towners ripe for the picking (I was even carrying a back-pack) and not one taxi driver raised as much as a finger to signal he was willing to show us around town.</p>\n<p>Eventually, one driver managed to tear himself away from Facebook and came over for a chat. Actually, he turned out to be a very nice guy. He congratulated me on my spoken Thai (which always goes down well, however insincere) and we negotiated a price of 600 baht for two hours. Actually we didn\'t negotiate anything. There was a big sign that said &lsquo;Taxi Service - 300 baht an hour\' and that\'s what everyone pays. So off we went!</p>\n<p>We asked our driver why Ayuthaya seemed so quiet. Even for a low-season Thursday, the town felt remarkably low-key. \"Lots of people have moved away\" he said, \"they have had enough of the floods\"</p>\n<p>I could understand. During periods of prolonged rainfall, Ayuthaya suffers from extreme flooding more than most places. I guess there are only so many times you can put up with the sight of your sofa and TV being swept away down the street.</p>\n<h3>The novelty wears off</h3>\n<p>But today was dry and ferociously hot. Gaz and I ambled around a couple of the main temple attractions. <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/the-slow-train-to-ayuthaya\">I had been everywhere in Ayuthaya less than a couple of years earlier,</a> so it felt like I was doing it out of a sense of duty more than anything else. And Gaz is another farang who has been stricken by the dreaded Asian temple fatigue. We took some photos of a big gold Buddha (impressive) fed some fish (greedy) and told our driver that we were hot and hungry and no longer required his services. He looked very happy at the thought of being sent back to the station and seeing how many Facebook notifications he\'d missed.</p>\n<p>We walked around looking for a basic Thai restaurant, somewhere that could rustle up a bowl of noodles and a few scrag-ends of chicken, but all of my regular stand-bys were closed (or closed down). Ayuthaya really did feel like a place in decline. Somewhere that had just given up or was barely going through the motions. It was sad to experience because I like Ayuthaya. It\'s one of the few places that is truly worth visiting and yet still makes a comfortable day trip from Bangkok.</p>\n<p>\"Does this place have a shopping mall? Gaz enquired. \"surely they would have food there?\"</p>\n<p>It seemed entirely plausible that this place might have a shopping mall and when we approached a couple of motorcycle taxi drivers, they told us the Sky Shopping Mall was just a 20 baht ride away, where there was a branch of KFC and even a Swensens ice cream. Oh happy days!</p>\n<p>And then one of the most bizarre things happened.</p>\n<p>I got on the back of my motorcycle taxi and we sped off towards the Sky Mall. After we\'d gone a few hundred metres, I instinctively looked back to see Gaz still standing on the street corner and the second motorcycle taxi driver still sitting down. I told my taxi guy that my friend had intended to come too. This information seemed to come as an enormous shock to my taxi guy and we turned to double back.</p>\n<p>Now I don\'t want to get into a discussion about brain cells or levels of IQ but I just happen to think all the signs were there. Two farangs approach two motor cycle taxi drivers. There isn\'t another soul around. The street is deserted. The farangs ask to be taken to the nearest shopping mall and a price is quoted and agreed upon. Except only the farang who does the talking wants to be taken to the shopping mall. The other farang just wants to stand on the hottest street corner in Ayuthaya and stare into the middle distance while his friend goes off for chicken nuggets and a coit tower.</p>\n<p>I\'m going to leave it there.</p>\n<h3>A surreal shopping mall</h3>\n<p>The Sky Shopping Mall was like something from the twilight zone. It was as if a fatal epidemic had killed off the world\'s entire population and me and Gaz were the only survivors. If we moved that pile of boxes, would we discover a KFC trainee lying on the floor, twitching his last?</p>\n<p>We ended up in MK Suki for an uninspiring bowl of duck and noodles. The staff genuinely looked amazed at the sight of two customers at two o clock on a Thursday afternoon and I couldn\'t resist asking the pleasant girl who served us if business was always this slow. From what I could gather, the restaurant opened at 10 am but during the week, customers didn\'t appear in any great number until five in the evening. Time must tick very slowly at The Sky Shopping Mall. Thank God for smartphones!</p>\n<p>\"Thailand is made up of two countries when you think about it\" said Gaz. \"There\'s Bangkok - and then there\'s the rest of the country. And you sometimes forget that this is really what most of the rest of Thailand is like. Very slow-moving and peaceful\"</p>\n<p>As we made our way back to the train station in a public songthaew, we got stuck in a minor traffic jam on what was probably Ayuthaya\'s main thoroughfare. It was refreshing to finally see some activity and a bit of life in the old place.</p>\n<p>Back on the station platform, a timetable confirmed our worst fears. We had just missed an express train back to Bangkok and the next train wouldn\'t be for another 65 minutes. And that was an ordinary (very slow) train that would take almost two hours. Just then our friendly taxi driver from the morning appeared to offer some sage advice.</p>\n<p>\"I take you go minibus back to Bangkok. Minibus only 60 baht one person. One hour to BTS Morchit. Sabai sabai. Very convenient. Train too slow. Have many delay\"</p>\n<p>I hate minibuses but we couldn\'t face the thought of the slow train home either.</p>\n<p>Driver, take us to the minibus station!</p>','','2017-08-04 06:27:32',1,'2017-08-04 06:27:32','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32028,10,'Farewell to a TEFL legend','farewell-to-a-tefl-legend','A larger-than-life character who wore many hats','Thailand\'s English teaching industry is in mourning with the sad news that James Parmelee, the owner of Text and Talk Thailand, has passed away in Bangkok.','<p>Thailand\'s English teaching industry is in mourning with the sad news that James Parmelee, the owner of Text and Talk Thailand, has passed away in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>To say that James was something of a TEFL legend in Thailand doesn\'t really do him justice. He helped train literally thousands of teachers to teach at Thai schools the length and breadth of the country. Actually, James just loved helping people. He was that kind of guy.</p>\n<p>A native of Missouri, USA, James served in the U.S Army for four years, including a stint in Vietnam.</p>\n<p>Eventually, armed with a TEFL certificate and a passionate desire to teach, he made Thailand his home and spent an impressive 23 years in the classroom, improving the English of thousands of Thai students in the process.</p>\n<p>In 1990, James decided to strike out on his own and opened the Text and Talk Academy in the Bangkok suburb of Lard Phrao.</p>\n<p>James quickly found that running a language school was very different to being \' just a teacher\' and one of the biggest problems he faced was finding teachers who were qualified enough to know what they were doing when let loose in a classroom.</p>\n<p>At that time, in the early 90\'s, there was nothing like the range of TEFL course options that is available today. There was the prohibitively expensive CELTA training course and that was pretty much it.</p>\n<p>James went about designing and offering a cheaper training course but refused to compromise on the quality. He knew that many of the teachers who couldn\'t afford to do the CELTA would still go ahead and teach anyway. James longed to train those teachers himself - but at a budget price.</p>\n<p>Over the next decade or so, the Text and Talk Academy TEFL course went from strength to strength. James took care of the training side and his assistant, Leigh, advised new arrivals on visas, work permits, etc and helped teachers settle in to life in a new country. James and Leigh made quite a partnership.</p>\n<p>James wasn\'t just a teacher trainer and school owner though. He was also a poet, author and deep thinking philosopher. He was a raconteur. He was one of those larger-than-life characters.</p>\n<p>I only met James in person a handful of times. Once he invited me to his school for tea and biscuits and a cosy, fireside chat. On another occasion, fed up with the strict rules and regulations being imposed on new teachers, he gathered a group of TEFL people (myself included) to march en masse to Thailand\'s Ministry of Education and seek an appointment with the Education Minister himself.</p>\n<p>James decided our group needed a name and he christened it \'Farang Rak Thai\' (Foreigners who love Thailand)  It\'s hard to think of James coming up with a more befitting title because at heart, James was a man who loved Thailand and loved the Thai people. That much was always evident.</p>\n<p>James may now have gone to the great TEFL training room in the sky but his legacy will live on. The Text and Talk baton has been passed on to his loving wife, Sureeporn, and his two grown-up children, Jeynah and Ben. I have no doubt that in the coming years they will do James proud and keep his memory alive.</p>\n<p>Rest in Peace.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>','','2017-08-10 06:38:34',1,'2017-08-10 06:38:34','2017-08-10 20:08:35'),(32038,97,'Online teaching saved my life','online-teaching-saved-my-life','What would I have done without it?','How having more than one source of income, in this case an online tutoring job, saved my ass during cancer treatment.','<p>Many entrepreneurs have always gone on about the glories of multiple streams of income.

Damn! - that province is near perfection. I think this is the Thailand that many of us dream about - peaceful, orderly towns surrounded by incredible scenery, welcoming and friendly locals, not a scrap of litter in sight, and best of all - during the whole time I was there, I only saw four other foreigners to glare at.

Don Muang Airport has come in for a fair bit of stick lately for long immigration queues, etc but navigating the domestic terminal was a breeze. Despite being busy, even at six in the morning, check-in and security were as painless as it gets in these tiresome days of air travel. We even found time for a quick egg mcmuffin under the golden arches before our 7.40 Air Asia flight departed bang on time. The flight to Nan takes sixty-five minutes.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan01.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m not sure whether it\'s the &lsquo;Welcome to Nan\' sign that peeps out at you from beneath fastidiously-kept flower beds or the cute way you have to stroll across the tarmac from aircraft to terminal building (stopping for the odd selfie of course) or the smiles on the faces of the far-from-overworked security staff, but Nan Nakhon Airport gives a fair indication of the pace of life that awaits you. This is a far cry from the noisy, polluted sprawl you left behind an hour ago.</p>\n<p>We hadn\'t pre-booked a hire car but that wasn\'t an issue. At least three or four car rental firms maintain counters in the small arrivals hall. We opted for a Thai rental firm over one of the big international names and their service was excellent. The paperwork was minimal, the staff drove our car around to the front of the terminal building, and all in all we felt that just over a thousand baht a day for a newish compact automatic was a fair deal. Within twenty minutes of landing, we were in our car and out on the open road - the road to Boklua.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan02.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>It takes two hours to cover the 90 kilometres from Nan to Boklua; but that\'s only if you can resist stopping every few miles to get out and admire the scenery. And trust me you won\'t because those views are incredible. I remarked to my wife that the scenery was as good as anything we had seen on New Zealand\'s South Island. I can give it no higher praise than that. And on a damp day in low-season August, we felt as if we were the only souls on earth.</p>\n<p>We asked a local about the best time to visit Nan Province and he conceded that it can get a tad crowded in high season, especially December and January. \"You\'ve come at a good time\" he said, \"but September is even better. Oh sure you might get soaked to the skin but everywhere just looks so wonderfully green\"</p>\n<p>As we rounded a bend and came upon yet another breathtaking vista, we instinctively pulled in at a roadside coffee shop, well it was more of a wooden shack if truth be told. The owner and his wife greeted us warmly. He was one of those interesting middle-aged Thai characters with a goatee beard, earrings and a wooly hat pulled down over his ears. One of those guys who always has a story to tell.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan03.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>\"We own this piece of land you\'re standing on\" he told us. \"Every morning for years, I came here to just sit on a chair, drink coffee and take in the view (and man, what a view it was!)

Many of the regular passers-by pestered me to open a little coffee shop to make money\"</p>\n<p>He broke into a broad grin. \"Why would I want to open a coffee shop? I\'m not really a businessman. But I suppose I just weakened under the pressure\"</p>\n<p>He was clearly doing well. Every one of the four cars that passed during the half hour we were there, stopped to buy a coffee and no one seemed to mind waiting while the owner took his own sweet time to make sure every cup was perfect. I wondered how he would cope when punters are queuing five deep in peak season? He must hate it!</p>\n<p>We reached the village of <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo_Kluea_District\">Boklua</a> in the late afternoon.

However, the locals were pleased to see us and enjoyed sharing their knowledge. But who wouldn\'t be proud of a unique salt industry that dates back over 800 years I believe?</p>\n<p>Our accommodation in Boklua was the popular <a href=\"https://www.bokluaview.com/\">Boklua View Resort</a>, a collection of a dozen or so wooden bungalows that go for just over a thousand baht a night (at least they do in August). I would love to say that the resort is in a wondrous green valley and nestling in the mountains in a picture postcard setting but I\'m trying to avoid those awful travel blog clich&eacute;s.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan05.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m probably being a little harsh here but the bungalows could perhaps do with a bit of tender loving care. The bathrooms are a bit mouldy and the bed-sheets a tad crispy but pull up a chair on the verandah with a mug of tea, look out over the mist-shrouded mountain-tops and all is forgiven.</p>\n<p>Just be careful where you are putting your hands and feet though, because I spied insects that they probably haven\'t invented names for. Particularly intriguing was a huge black ant, which thankfully seemed to move independently and scurry along the balcony railing alone. I had no doubt that if a couple of dozen of these &lsquo;super ants\' got together and formed a group, they could carry me off screaming and throw me in the river with considerable ease.</p>\n<p>As you would expect, lodgings in a small village like Boklua are pretty thin on the ground - and just one reason why the Boklua View Resort is extremely popular with Thais. \"We are fully booked up for the next three months. Not a bungalow to be had\" the receptionist told us. Another reason is the excellent on-site restaurant which serves tasty and good value Northern Thai food as well as a few Western dishes. My wife said that many Thai reviewers have commented that they stay at the Boklua View Resort for the food alone.</p>\n<p>Even the resort breakfast buffet was decent, provided you got to it before the insects did. And let me tell you now, making toast on an old-style charcoal grill is far more effective than fannying around with a toaster.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan06.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Day two and our destination was <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doi_Phu_Kha_National_Park\">Doi Puka</a>, one of the highest points in Nan Province, and only reached by navigating miles of twisting, narrow road with just the occasional motorcyclist coming in the opposite direction. As we drove higher and higher, the mist became so thick it began to take on the feel of a Silent Hill movie set.</p>\n<p>But about half-way between Boklua and Doi Puka is a hill-tribe village - and I mean a proper hill-tribe village, not one of those &lsquo;tourist shows\' a short drive from Chiang Mai where the villagers have brand-new pick-up trucks and satellite dishes and you\'re fending off grubby little urchins demanding twenty baht for a photo.</p>\n<p>I would say that Baan Gorguang was the highlight of my Nan trip. These were the Lua People (as we later found out) - a hill-tribe who predominantly make a living by selling what plants and vegetables they can scavenge from the forest. They also rely totally on solar power.</p>\n<p>On the morning we rolled into town, it was market day. A few of the village elders had set up a ramshackle stall with a display of about a dozen vegetables. I couldn\'t name a single one of them.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan07.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The villagers eyed us with a mix of curiosity and suspicion as we ambled around trying to take snaps as discreetly as possible. A few stopped to make hill-tribe small talk, but most thought it better to ignore us completely and I probably don\'t blame them. But I was in my element. Few things get my pulse racing quite like an eerie hill-tribe village, lost in time and shrouded in mist.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Continuing on to Doi Puka, we stopped off en route at the entrances to a couple of national parks. At both places the park rangers on gate duty told us that rainfall had been particularly heavy recently and it was too dangerous to proceed. So my wife saved her twenty baht admission fee and I saved two hundred (just thought I\'d get that in) But double-pricing aside, the park rangers were the friendliest folk you could wish to meet. They don\'t make the rules.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan08.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>When we reached Doi Puka, you could barely see a hand in front of your face. A giant thermometer indicated that the current temperature was a chilly sixteen degrees. \"Don\'t forget to pack your raincoat\" my wife had told me the day before we left Bangkok. I am so glad I had been paying attention for once.</p>\n<p>We arrived in Nan City (&lsquo;city\' being something of a misnomer) in mid-afternoon with the temperature a far more Thailand-like 26 degrees. My wife had booked us in to the delightful <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g662326-d5513072-Reviews-Khum_Muang_Min_Boutique_Hotel-Nan_Nan_Province.html\">Khum Muang Min Boutique Hotel</a>, an old colonial-style establishment just a short walk from the city centre. I began to wish I had packed a cream linen suit because there was surely no finer place than here to sip gin and tonics on the terrace with some batty, retired colonel.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan09.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Again, Khum Muang Min is a very popular place for Thai travelers and its dozen or so rooms are often booked out solid for months on end.</p>\n<p>Interestingly, the hotel isn\'t just located &lsquo;near\' the provincial prison, you can practically reach out and touch the imposing outer walls and the barbed wire. I imagined being woken in the middle of the night by a burly, rough-shaven bank robber who had managed to tunnel his way out. But in the unlikely event of that happening, I was more than prepared - \"Take my wife as hostage. I won\'t tell a soul\"</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan10.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>I want to sing the praises of Nan City and tell you how wonderful it is but truth is, I don\'t know where to start. It\'s like a far more interesting version of Ayuthaya. It has the temples and all that historical and cultural stuff but so much more in-between.</p>\n<p>For our first night in town, we decided to do the night market (there isn\'t really an awful lot else to do once darkness falls) and it was superb. Stretching the length of Nan\'s main street, the market is divided into two sections - the first part selling clothes, silk, souvenirs and nic-nacs and the second part focusing completely on food.</p>\n<p>If you fancy something to eat, you can purchase your snacks and go and eat them in the temple grounds where both tables and mats to sit on have been thoughtfully provided. Under the neon lights of the temple, hundreds of Nan folk gorging on meatballs, crepes and sticky rice dishes creates a wonderful atmosphere.</p>\n<p>Returning to the hotel, I had a rare urge to indulge in a beer or two. It was still fairly early and the idea of retiring to bed just didn\'t appeal so I made the fatal mistake of asking the young man on reception if there was a bar nearby. I had chatted to him earlier when we were checking in and his English was impeccable. He was also - how can I say this - a little bit fluffy and theatrical?</p>\n<p>I realized as soon as I had finished the question that I had deeply offended him. He put a hand across his chest (rather reminiscent of the way John Inman or Larry Grayson used to do) and said \"Ooooh, there are no bars in Nan sir. We are not that kind of place. Nan is a cultural city and we are very proud of it\" In other words \"piss off back to Pattaya you whore-monger before I call the police\"</p>\n<p>I slunk away cringing with embarrassment and left him with his thoughts. Possibly about what it would be like to be disturbed in the middle of the night by a burly, rough-shaven bank robber.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Saturday was our only full day in Nan City and my wife had promised me a day of temples. Now normally this would have me cowering under the bedclothes and refusing to come out but I\'m genuinely glad I made the effort.</p>\n<p>While my wife was showering and putting on her warpaint, I slipped out for a coffee on the main road and a bit of me time. I sat down at an outside table and made two lifelong friends within ten minutes but such was the nature of the Nan people. They just love to chat to foreigners and once they realize you can put some Thai together, that\'s it - you get a thousand questions and their life story in return. I have rarely enjoyed chatting and practicing my Thai so much. I would have happily sat at that coffee shop all day but the itinerary beckoned and there were temples to tick off.</p>\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan11.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>Nan\'s go-to temple and the first one on any visitor\'s list is <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Phumin\">Wat Phumin</a>. The temple is famous for its murals, particularly &lsquo;the whisperer\' - a painting depicting a husband whispering presumably sweet nothings into his wife\'s ear. The whisperer has over time become the symbol of Nan City and you can see it on just about every souvenir and then some.</p>\n<p>The Nan tourist authority (and what a wonderful organization it is) arranges one-hour tram tours of the city for a very reasonable thirty baht a head. The trams leave approximately every hour from the tourist centre office. My wife dispatched me to make enquiries and book tickets, where my initial \"can you speak English?\" was met with a gasp of horror from the sweet girl behind the counter. So I switched to Thai and managed to ascertain the times of the trams, whether we should book in advance or not and some general banter about what a fine job everyone was doing. \"Wow! your Thai is really good. How many years have you lived here?\" the girl said.</p>\n<p>I thanked her for the kind words and purchased two tickets for the 1.30 tram. Then I flashed her a Hollywood smile and gave her my best man-of-the-world wink that would no doubt have made her go weak at the knees had I been thirty years younger.</p>\n<p>When my wife and I presented ourselves at the tourist office in readiness for the 1.30 tram, the girl at the counter pointed out that I had asked for tickets on the 3.30, which would be leaving in two hours. I looked at the tickets. They had 3.30 clearly printed on them. I\'m saying nothing.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan12.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The tram ride was well worth doing it must be said. You get to stop off at a couple of temples on the way for ten minutes and by skirting the outer neighborhoods, you gain a new perspective and an even deeper appreciation for this wonderful little city in Northern Thailand.</p>\n<p>Darkness fell and with it the dilemma of what to do for the evening. I told my wife - in a low almost hushed tone of voice - that Man United were playing away at Swansea and the match kicked off in an hour. I merely threw it out there as an option. My wife didn\'t have to say anything. Her expression alone indicated that whatever the evening\'s activities may involve, under no circumstances would they include Man United playing Swansea. But it was worth a try.</p>\n<p>There seemed few other options available apart from walking around the night market a second time but as we left the hotel, Fluffy the Receptionist came bounding up the path, waving his arms and shouting \"fon ja dtok, fon ja dtok\" or as we say in Birmingham - \"it\'s gone black over Bill\'s Mother\'s\"</p>\n<p>The night market had become an early evening frenzy of activity as stall-holders frantically packed away their wares. There was a hell of a storm brewing and sure enough, right on cue, the heavens opened and it chucked it down. We sheltered under an awning in the temple grounds for an hour before deciding to make a dash back for the hotel. We got back drenched.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan13.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Sunday dawned hot and sunny - our final day in Nan and that always disagreeable situation of having to check out of a hotel at noon and killing time before a 4.00 pm flight back to Bangkok. But to make the most of the morning hours, we took a couple of free bikes from the hotel and enjoyed a leisurely cycle around the city. There are very few cars and motorcycles on the roads in Nan so it\'s about as safe as cycling in Thailand gets. It was a most enjoyable couple of hours.</p>\n<p>Now then, if you read any article or blog on places to eat in Nan City, there is one name that seems to top almost every list - The Hot Bread Caf&eacute;. We rode past it on our bicycles and decided to stop and see what the fuss was all about.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan14.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>If you crave the opportunity to meet other foreigners in Nan, then the Hot Bread Caf&eacute; is probably as good a place as any to start. And therein lies the problem, because to me Nan really didn\'t need a place like this. A bookshelf rammed with second-hand Lonely Planet guides, full English breakfasts for 250 baht. You get the picture. The Hot Bread Caf&eacute; felt completely out of place. One of the joys of being in Nan was that you were exposed 100% to Thailand and its culture. If you wanted some Western comforts and tastes of home, well there weren\'t any. Tough luck! It felt liberating.</p>\n<p>That\'s only my opinion though. In fairness to The Hot Bread Caf&eacute;, the service was good, the peanut butter and chocolate smoothies were excellent, as was the banana pancake drenched in maple syrup. If that\'s what you are looking for, then make the scene by all means. To me it just didn\'t feel right.</p>\n<p>There was one more place we wanted to visit - The Riverside Art Gallery, which is about 25 kilometres out of the city. We had already stopped by there on our way down from Doi Puka but the gallery had closed for the day. It had looked an interesting place, hence our eagerness to see it before we left town.</p>\n<p>Public transport is virtually non-existent in Nan and because we had already returned our hire car the day before, we had no alternative but to call a taxi. Taxis are a straight 200 baht an hour and chatting with our driver, he told us that there are actually only ten taxis for hire in the whole of the city. Isn\'t that wonderful?</p>\n<p>\"You\'re quite lucky to find one of us available on Sundays\" our driver said, \"most of us are out doing family things\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/nan15.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>But anyway, he drove us out to The Riverside Art Gallery and it was well worth the expense. It was my kind of art gallery - an eclectic mix of paintings and sculptures by talented local artists. As I stood and admired some of the artwork, I was approached by a very nice fellow clearly eager for a chat. We talked about where I was from and how long I had lived here and in return, I told him how impressive I thought the gallery was.</p>\n<p>I later did a Google image search and found out he was the gallery owner, Winai Prabripoo, a famous Thai artist and a native of Nan. Winai graduated from Silkaporn University and after 25 years living in Bangkok decided to do something for regional artists and provide them with both a gallery and centre.</p>\n<p>I suppose the Riverside Art Gallery was the realization of a dream. It was also a fine way for us to end our four-day trip to Nan Province.</p>\n<p>I\'ll leave you on this final note. Please go to Nan Province. I\'m begging you. You\'ll love it!</p>','','2017-08-23 19:40:41',1,'2017-08-23 19:40:41','2017-11-08 20:08:42'),(32054,10,'New handyman wanted','new-handyman-wanted','What happens when a trusted handyman cheats you!','I have long had a bitter love-hate relationship with Thai handymen.

But Khun Prasert\'s work - and that of his workmates - has always been first class.','<p>Khun Prasert (not his real name) has been our go-to Thai handyman for several years now. But this is a story of how a trusting relationship can all go sour for the sake of a measly few thousand baht.</p>\n<p>Although Khun Prasert\'s true expertise lies in electrical work, he has done plenty of good jobs for us in the past. With the help of some good, reliable crews, he\'s repainted our living room and staircase area, fixed a faulty fuse-box, sorted out a couple of water drainage issues and cleaned our air-conditioners.</p>\n<p>I have long had a bitter love-hate relationship with Thai handymen. The problem is not that handymen treat your home like they would treat their own; the problem is that they do! But Khun Prasert\'s work - and that of his workmates - has always been first class. They lay groundsheets under the area where they are working in order to protect furniture and they avoid putting handprints all over your walls (something that drives me mad whenever I let handymen into our home)</p>\n<h3>A guaranteed good job</h3>\n<p>Khun Prasert (and probably most of his workmates) used to be employed under the umbrella of a foreign-run company and whenever we needed a job done, I was always happy to pay a premium rate that obviously included a percentage going straight to the employer. However, when Khun Prasert cut his ties with the company and went freelance, he asked us if we would continue using him for all our household jobs and in effect, cut out the middleman. We had no problems with that at all. I admired his entrepreneurial spirit.</p>\n<p>In Prasert\'s most recent visit to the house, we had asked he and a workmate to clean a newish Samsung air-conditioner. The machine has only been on the market for a couple of years and it\'s one of those anti-virus, money-saving, computer-driven models that generally requires a lot more care and attention than the more robust machines that are probably far better suited to a Bangkok environment.</p>\n<p>In fact, Prasert had told us himself the last time he had cleaned the machine, \"this air-conditioner is far too sophisticated and delicate to have the compressor unit outside the house and out in the open air, where it\'s exposed to insects and traffic fumes. This is why things often go wrong with this particular model\"</p>\n<p>But there was nothing really we could do. We had only had the machine for a couple of years. I guess we were kind of stuck with it for now.</p>\n<p>So Prasert and his helper dutifully went about giving our spiffy air-conditioner its twice-a-year clean-up. Once completed, his usual service fee was around a thousand baht and he had also needed to buy and refill the coolant, which came to another 800.</p>\n<p>Job done? Well not really.</p>\n<h3>The problems begin</h3>\n<p>We turned on the machine and let it run for twenty minutes or so but it just didn\'t feel cool. Certainly nowhere near as cool as it had been in the past. It felt like a giant fan just moving hot air around. We complained to Prasert while he was still on the premises, and he went to check the outside compressor.</p>\n<p>Prasert conceded that there was a problem with the main board (it looks like a giant circuit board to the uneducated like yours truly) and he tinkered with it and made a few adjustments. We turned the air-conditioner back on and while it did feel significantly cooler, it tripped the electrical supply within five minutes. We tried again. Same result.</p>\n<p>Prasert started scratching his head and looking for some divine inspiration. My wife and I immediately started to lose confidence. We should really have been calling out Samsung\'s own engineers with a problem like this but Prasert was confident he could save the day. \"I think you need a new Samsung main board\" he told us, \"this one has been destroyed by insects and exhaust fumes from the busy road outside\".</p>\n<h3>A costly repair</h3>\n<p>We felt we had no choice but to put our trust in him and let him go to the Samsung dealer and purchase a new main board. Later that day, Prasert called my wife and told her that the new part would cost 8,500 baht and he would pick it up in a couple of days.</p>\n<p>Ouch! 8,500 baht was a fair chunk of change to spend on a machine that was barely two years old and only cost 25,000 baht in the first place. But we just couldn\'t face the rigmarole of traipsing around department stores looking for a new air-conditioner. So my wife transferred the 8,500 baht to Prasert\'s bank account.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we moved furniture and arranged bedding downstairs in readiness for a couple of nights on the sofa and living room floor. The bedroom gets unbearably hot without a/c so sleeping up there was totally out of the question.</p>\n<p>True to his word, Prasert returned a couple of days later with a new main board (or so we were led to believe) but after FIVE hours of fannying around in front of the compressor unit, he was no nearer to getting the machine working. He eventually waved the white flag and called Samsung for help and to arrange for one of their technicians to come down to the house.</p>\n<p>He later told my wife that for some reason Samsung Customer Service were not playing ball and seemed unwilling to help. Knowing what we know now, this was probably a lie. Whoever Prasert was calling on the phone, it almost certainly wasn\'t Samsung.</p>\n<h3>We\'ve been duped!</h3>\n<p>You might say the deception was starting to unravel. My wife and I began to put two and two together. We had no proof whatsoever that Prasert had purchased a brand new main board from Samsung. In fact it was becoming far more likely that he had spent considerably less money on some re-conditioned, second-hand job and pocketed the balance. Hence his reluctance to get Samsung involved because a Samsung engineer would have taken one look at the &lsquo;brand new\' main board and immediately blown Prasert\'s cover.</p>\n<p>Prasert now found himself in a no-win situation. Although neither my wife nor I were yet to accuse him of any monkey business, he had bought some dodgy second-hand main board which he still didn\'t have a clue how to get working. He had also taken 8,500 baht of our money along with another 2,000 baht for a service fee. In short, we were over 10,000 baht down and still looking at an air-con unit that didn\'t work.</p>\n<p>When the going gets tough, the handymen get going. Prasert assured us he would take care of the situation and then promptly did a disappearing act.  We heard nothing at all from him for several days. He\'d been rumbled.</p>\n<p>It was now well over a week of having to sleep on the living room floor but at least I\'ve heard it\'s good for your spine.</p>\n<h3>A plan of action</h3>\n<p>My wife and I had a serious chat to decide on the best way forward and these situations often serve to highlight how different my wife and I can be. I tend to be the &lsquo;anything-for-an-easy-life\' kind of guy. I was all in favor of cutting our losses, learning our lesson and buying a new machine. To hell with the expense. Let\'s just chalk it down to experience. But that is not my wife. That is not her at all. Cheat her out of money and oh boy, she will hound you to the ends of the earth.</p>\n<p>The first step was to find and contact Prasert (or &lsquo;cheating bastard\' as my wife had now christened him) She made a flurry of calls to his mobile phone but predictably they all went unanswered. She then contacted him via his LINE messaging app and chose not to mince her words but the gist of it was &lsquo;we want our money back!\' This time, Prasert read the messages and did reply with the excuse that his pick-up truck had broken down but not to worry, he would sort things out. My wife was not willing to accept that. You pay us back the money now or I go to the police. It\'s that simple.</p>\n<p>Prasert didn\'t reply. In fact, he went a step further and blocked my wife on the LINE app. Further proof (as if we needed it) that we had been duped. It was time to get nasty. Or nastier.</p>\n<p>My wife not only found Prasert\'s Facebook page but also that belonging to his wife. She told Prasert\'s wife the story and the following day we got a reply. \"I am sorry that you have a problem with my husband. To be honest I take little or no interest in his work so don\'t really know what\'s going on. But rest assured, I will make sure he pays back the money he owes\"</p>\n<p>Prasert\'s wife seemed a very decent sort. She was clearly a good, honest working class girl (a seamstress I believe) who had unfortunately found herself dragged into the situation. But needs must I suppose.</p>\n<p>She obviously had words with her rogue husband because later that day, he got in touch. Perhaps he realized that my wife was the bulldog and he was most definitely the bone. \"I will pay you back the money but I have financial problems at the moment\" Prasert said \"is it possible to pay you back in three monthly instalments?\"</p>\n<p>It wasn\'t an ideal solution as far as my wife was concerned but she agreed to the payment plan.</p>\n<p>And that sadly is the end of our relationship with Mr Prasert, whether he pays the money back or not - all for a measly few thousand baht and all for a very high-risk opportunity to make a quick buck on the side.</p>\n<h3>Light at the end of the tunnel</h3>\n<p>We got in touch with Samsung Customer Service and after failing to keep the first appointment they showed up on day two. Credit where its due, as soon as the Samsung technicians turned up in their smart grey uniforms, you felt you were at last in the hands of experts - people who genuinely knew what they were doing.</p>\n<p>Finally, we would get a definitive answer to the main board question.</p>\n<p>\"It is a Samsung main board\" the technician told us, \"but it\'s a second-hand one and in quite poor condition. Actually, the main problem is with the motor but it probably won\'t be a bad idea to replace the main board as well\"</p>\n<p>Drum roll please. And how much is a brand spanking-new Samsung main board for that particular model of air-conditioner?</p>\n<p>Answer - 2,700 baht. The defence rests.</p>\n<p>So Samsung are coming back in a couple of days time with a new motor, main board and copper coil and to refill the coolant but for now the air-conditioner still isn\'t working and we are now entering week FIVE of sleeping on a mattress on the living room floor. It\'s become almost a way of life.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I shared this story as it progressed via a series of tweets on Twitter. Let me address some of the questions that Twitter followers had.</p>\n<p><strong>1) Why didn\'t you go to Samsung yourself and buy the main board?</strong></p>\n<p>This all boils down to lack of time. My wife is far too busy to go gallivanting around Samsung Service Centres. That\'s simply the way it is I\'m afraid. Plus we had no reason to disbelieve that a brand new main board would cost 8,500 baht.</p>\n<p><strong>2) Why did you pay for the main board in advance before the job was completed?</strong></p>\n<p>Firstly, Khun Prasert said that he didn\'t have 8,500 baht of his own money. Again, no reason to disbelieve it at the time. We paid the 2,000 baht service charge when the work was completed and before the air-conditioner tripped the circuit. It was only a five-minute window but that\'s enough time to hand over 2,000 baht if you think the work has been completed.</p>\n<p><strong>3) Why didn\'t you go directly to Samsung to fix the main board problem?</strong></p>\n<p>Yes that\'s what we should have done but hindsight is always a wonderful thing. Prasert had just finished cleaning the air-conditioner when we discovered the main board problem so we naturally thought the two issues might be connected. Very difficult to say OK, you\'ve cleaned the air-con, now off you pop and we\'ll contact Samsung about the main board. You put your trust in people I suppose.</p>','','2017-08-30 02:35:31',1,'2017-08-30 02:35:31','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32057,95,'Classroom observations: what can be seen?','classroom-observations-what-can-be-seen','The difficult role of the observing teacher','Observed lessons are never representative of a teacher\'s practice.

The rocks are viewed while seated on a raised platform (the hōjō) that runs alongside the garden.</p>\n<p>Conforming to principles of zen Buddhism, the garden is minimalist, and is composed of 15 rocks of different sizes and shapes. What\'s interesting, however, is that there is no place from which all 15 rocks can be seen: at any point on the hōjō, only part of the entire composition is visible. There are two pertinent points here: only a part is visible to an observer at any point, and two observers on the viewing platform will experience a different arrangement.</p>\n<h3>Observing lessons</h3>\n<p>I quite frequently find myself sitting at the back of classrooms watching teachers teach. This is often in the guise of an evaluation, and I\'m seen as having to pass some sort of judgement on the teacher, or because there is a problem which I\'m tasked with \'fixing\'.</p>\n<p>I have a problem with this view of my role as an observer. Observed lessons are never representative of a teacher\'s practice. The teacher and students are unnerved by my presence, and things feel stilted. Even when the lesson does go well, I know I\'m seeing only part of the whole.</p>\n<p>If I watch the teacher, I\'m missing out on the students\' reactions. If I keep an eye on the students and how they are responding to the lesson, I neglect aspects of the teacher\'s method. I might try to watch both, but I still can\'t see the processes behind the teacher\'s thinking, how and why the lesson is deviating from the teacher\'s initial plan, which students are falling behind, or the kinds of conversations the students are having in their pairs or groups. I can\'t see what came before the lesson or what will come next.</p>\n<p>Like the Ryona-ji rock garden, the lesson cannot be viewed in its entirety: I can only see part of the whole. In addition, what I see is often determined by my own interest and beliefs. I sit and watch the teacher run an activity and I can\'t help but compare it to how I would do it. I think \"But the key vocabulary hasn\'t been pre-taught\" only to later realize that the language has been presented to them in a previous lesson. I see a student isolated during tasks and condemn this, only to find out later the student is in a temporary limbo because of an infraction in some previous lesson.</p>\n<h3>Post-lesson discussions</h3>\n<p>To capture the entirety of the lesson, I need to ask questions after the lesson: \"Why did you decide not to pre-teach that vocabulary?\" \"What were those students doing that made you so upset?\" \"Was that student in the corner excluded from the lesson for a reason?\" \"How come you taught the grammar deductively?\" \"Do you always allow the students play on their phones during the lesson?\"</p>\n<p>And this is where the problem starts. Teachers are afraid. They think the observer sees everything and knows better, and can make sweeping and inherently valid judgments. Observers (myself included) fall into the trap of thinking this too. But the reality is that an observer can\'t see everything, and doesn\'t always know better.</p>\n<p>If an observer doesn\'t know better, then what\'s the point of the observation?</p>\n<p>Well, we all need a coach: someone to watch what we are doing and identify ways in which it can be even better. All successful professionals understand the value of this. Just as the observer can\'t see everything that is happening in the classroom, so too with the teacher: while you are busy up at the front of the classroom, lots of things are happening that might slip past.</p>\n<p>Teaching, by nature, is lonely - you are with people all day, but in many ways you are alone with your decisions and have to face the consequences of those decisions from one day to another without anyone to give useful guidance or suggestions (unless you wish to take it from your students, I guess). For these reasons, having an observer in your classroom is highly beneficial, as long as the observer is understanding, unbiased, and a professional.</p>\n<h3>Post-lesson feedback with Bob</h3>\n<p>So, an observation should be viewed as an opportunity to discuss the lesson with an experienced and interested colleague. Let\'s take an example. Imagine I\'ve just watched Bob\'s class. After the lesson, I say:</p>\n<p>So Bob, you only had 10 students. Why didn\'t you put them in a horseshoe?</p>\n<p>Now if Bob is terrified that his job is on the line and confused about why I\'m in his class, the question sounds like an aggressive attack, the beginning of a long series of insults about his teaching.</p>\n<p>Bob must now be tempted to launch a counter-attack, or take a defensive stance. Or perhaps Bob might be devastated that I haven\'t smiled and complimented his lesson given the incredible effort he has made to impress me with all his best teaching tricks.</p>\n<p>Or perhaps Bob, sensing disaster, promises me he will never again make this transgression and pleads for forgiveness. With all this power, I slice off Bob\'s head and stroke my ego with an eagle\'s feather.</p>\n<p>If Bob has been to the Ryoan-ji temple, he realizes that despite my impressive status and intimidatingly chiseled features, I\'m only a visitor in his classroom offering a potentially new and objective (though perhaps flawed) viewpoint which gives him a fresh perspective on his teaching.</p>\n<p>My question isn\'t an indictment, it\'s a question. He may not have thought that seating is important, and this opens a new avenue for developing his lessons. Or he might tell me he\'d love to, but his Thai teacher gets very upset when he moves the furniture around. Or he may inform me that the class becomes incredibly boisterous when the seats are moved - and this might lead to a discussion on managing difficult groups: a problem that didn\'t emerge in the observed lesson, but is an area worthy of professional exploration.</p>\n<p>After consideration, Bob decides he thinks horseshoes are overrated for this class, and sticks to his convictions.</p>\n<p>As an observer, I have to accept that - it is Bob\'s lesson, not mine, and if he has considered his options and their consequences carefully, he must surely be entitled to his pedagogical decision. If I feel Bob is wrong, I can try to impose my opinion, but doing so moves the observation away from coaching and into the battlefield.</p>\n<p>A teacher recently told me that the value he got from my observations was the opportunity to consider and justify his decisions when they didn\'t agree with mine. This made him more confident about the way he does things. Brilliant.</p>\n<p>At the Ryona-ji temple, failure to see all 15 rocks is not a result of poor vision or stupidity, it\'s the nature of the experience, and from it is supposed to come existential insights. That a teacher and observer have different perspectives on something as complex as a classroom full of students has to be expected: it\'s part of the experience, and from it, hopefully, comes the opportunity for professional insights.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2017-08-31 02:11:29',1,'2017-08-31 02:11:29','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32069,52,'September 2017','september-2017','Fancy doing a teacher training course in Thailand?','We\'ve got some great deals and promotions in our latest edition of the TEFL course monthly blog, as well as all the latest news from Thailand\'s major providers.','<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/seetefl.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai&nbsp;has been teaching a full-time 120-hour TEFL course for over eleven years, and can boast&nbsp;and can boast over 1,200 graduates.

If the victims survived, Thai people are likely to give credit to the victims\' luck, merit, or amulet. Why is this?','<p>Thailand\'s global popularity as an expat and holiday destination suggests a native people comfortable with other cultures.</p>\n<p>The country\'s relatively relaxed attitude about everything from sex to religion to rules in general makes it a popular place among, well, almost everyone.</p>\n<p>However, it would be foolish to assume that these superficialities represent similarities in the thought processes of Thai and Western minds. A good example is the different thoughts Thais and westerners are capable of while sitting in the back seat of a Bangkok taxi, hurtling up a highway.</p>\n<p>Foreigners might get anxious, all too aware that contact with another car at 100kmh is certain death. Most Thais do not panic. Anyone who spends time travelling around this city in vans will know the vast majority of Thais don\'t wear safety belts. They relax, maybe use their phones. They even fall asleep.</p>\n<h3>Magical powers</h3>\n<p>Being a Thai person myself I\'ve paid attention to this over the years. From things I\'d hear or read I increasingly started to believe many Thais were putting their trust not in the driver but in his religious amulets. Seeing a handful of the right amulets hanging on the rear-view mirror along with the appropriate spells painted onto the inner roof and the smell of a floral garland would make Thais feel safe.</p>\n<p>My suspicion was that many truly believed that these tiny totems somehow created a magical barrier, protecting passengers from the dangers of the road. This, I thought, is a huge difference in how Thais and westerners think.</p>\n<p>I wanted to investigate this a bit more so I started visiting the Facebook pages of various Thai news sites: Bangkok Post, Khaosod English, Khaosod - ข่าวสด, and MatichonOnline. I wanted to see how people commenting in English differed from those commenting in Thai. I thought this might be interesting to the many foreigners living here who can\'t speak Thai. As it turned out, I identified a number of differences between Thai and foreign commenters, and I also tried to find plausible causes for them.</p>\n<p>Thailand is second in the world for road accident deaths according to the World Health Organization and there is no shortage of news relating to the many tragedies that befall our roads. This is where I began my research. Before I begin I should also point out that while my findings do not represent unanimous opinion, they do illustrate the general tenor of the comments.</p>\n<h3>Who was at fault?</h3>\n<p>Back in May 2017, a woman was hit by a car while crossing a four-lane road in Chonburi. She died subsequently in hospital. On Khaosod English, people blamed the pedestrian because she jaywalked even though there was a crosswalk in sight. They said she was too interested in her phone while crossing the road. The English-language commenters also expressed sympathy to the driver for having to be held responsible for another person\'s stupidity.</p>\n<p>Over at Khaosod - ข่าวสด, the Thai language news Facebook page, the comment section was much the same as Khaosod English; they agreed that the woman on her phone caused the trouble because of her carelessness. However, a key difference was that many people linked this accident to faith and luck.</p>\n<p>This was an opinion entirely absent among the English language commenters. A few said the driver must have had bad luck. Some comments declared that she had clearly run out of merit and that she would have died no matter what she did. One comment that received many likes said &lsquo;She had bad luck having to die and it got even worse because she will go to hell instead of heaven for causing trouble before she died.\'</p>\n<h3>A miracle</h3>\n<p>Back in November 2015, a taxi was crushed between a cement truck and a public bus. It was pushed under the rear section of the bus and its roof was ripped off. Despite the apparent carnage, the taxi driver walked away with only minor injuries. On the English language Facebook page BangkokPost the story had 174 comments at the time of writing. Most complained about how dangerous the traffic is in Thailand. Fewer than five comments spoke of supernatural powers; all were facetious.</p>\n<p>The same story at Thai language Khaosod - ข่าวสด got 730 comments. More than 300 comments related the accident to the supernatural. A top comment asked: &lsquo;What amulet was he wearing? Looking at his car, he couldn\'t have survived.\' A few people claimed that previous-life merit must have protected the driver. Many people asked for his license plate number - it would influence which lottery ticket they\'d later buy. Some said he survived because fate determined it. Despite not being an ostensibly supernatural claim, a few even put survival down to fast reflexes on the part of the driver.</p>\n<p>This story of \"survival against the odds\" so impressed Thais that news publishers even did a follow-up interview with the driver. They wanted to know if he was wearing a Luang Pu Thuat (หลวงปู่ทวด) amulet, Luang Pu Thuat being one of the most famous Buddhist monks and one believed to be spiritually very powerful. Any amulet blessed by him is believed to protect the person wearing it from evil spirits or bad luck.</p>\n<p>Another news story I examined relates to accidents in the construction of the Red Line Skytrain. Many accidents have occurred during this project but the most recent one was in May 2017 when a crane collapsed and killed three workers. On both BangkokPost and Khaosod English, people commented about how terrible it was and how Thais do not put safety first in construction sites.</p>\n<p>Over at the Thai news pages, Khaosod and MatichonOnline, many blamed corruption. A few hoped that the victims would go to Heaven.</p>\n<h3>\'Cursed\'</h3>\n<p>One Facebook user said, &lsquo;They should change the color code name for this line, red brings misfortune.\' His comment received almost a hundred likes and more than thirty replies. Some supported his idea, some thought he was joking. Some users said that the Red Line is cursed because the company invaded spirits\' territories without asking for their permission. To fix this, it was suggested, they might hold a blessing ceremony and build a spirit house.</p>\n<p>Looking at these comments we can see that people commenting on English language pages tend to put the blame on the actual person causing the accidents without expressing any supernatural or religious beliefs. English commenters are not exclusively foreigners and there are a few Thai people who follow and comment too, though maybe their awareness of foreign cultures makes them less influenced by Thai beliefs.</p>\n<h3>\'Superstitious\'</h3>\n<p>Thais are more likely to believe bad luck and evil spirits are the cause of accidents. If the victims survived, Thai people are likely to give credit to the victims\' luck, merit, or amulet. Why is this?</p>\n<p>Put simply, we are a superstitious people. Satirapat Kungsapichat, writing in Pseudo Science magazine (2014), stated that 94.3 percent of Thai people are superstitious. According to the National Statistical Office of Thailand (2012), 94.6 percent of all Thais are Buddhists.</p>\n<p>So why do so many Thais believe in the supernatural even when it is not part of Buddhism\'s teaching? Probably the answer lies in Thailand\'s version of Buddhism being interwoven with Hinduism and many older beliefs over thousands of years. Brahmin practices have been integrated into Thai religious ceremonies since Brahmin priests came to Thailand back in the early Ayutthaya period.</p>\n<p>Belief in the supernatural existed in Thailand long before Buddhism arrived. These started out - as they did among all early humans - as an attempt to cope with uncontrollable crises like accidents, natural disasters and disease.</p>\n<p>When Buddhism became the state religion of Thailand, the ancient beliefs were not removed, but they continued to coexist alongside and influenced Buddhism. That\'s why animistic beliefs including attachment to amulets, spirits, and luck still influence Thais\' way of thinking. Even the concept of making merit in Buddhism is animistic; most Thai people see merit making as a mechanism to ensure safety.</p>\n<h3>Media storylines</h3>\n<p>Despite this long tradition of supernaturalism, the media is partly culpable for perpetuating it. Different headlines for the same stories effectively illustrate this.</p>\n<p>Let\'s go back to the taxi driver as an example. On Khaosod - ข่าวสดด, the headline was &lsquo;A cement mixer\'s brake failed, slammed into a taxi, sent it under the 107 bus - the taxi driver miraculously survived\' (รถโม่ปูนเบรกแตกพุ่งขยี้ท้ายแท็กซี่กระเด็นเข้าใต้ท้องเมล์สาย107 - โชเฟอร์รอดตายปาฏิหาริย์) while on Khaosod English it was &lsquo;Taxi crushed, but driver suffers only minor injuries.\' The facts were stated plainly in English. In Thai we witnessed a miracle.</p>\n<p>Another road accident on Khaosod - ข่าวสด was headlined &lsquo;Shocked!! A pedestrian got hit by a car crashing on the footpath, the benjaped driver was seriously injured.\' (ช็อกทั้งถนน!! เดินๆอยู่ เก๋งเสยต้นไม้เหินขึ้นทางเท้า-พุ่งชนคน หนุ่มเบญจเพสคนขับสาหัส). Benjaped (เบญจเพส) is a Thai word for being twenty-five years old that has a negative connotation.</p>\n<p>Traditional Thai belief suggests that whoever is twenty-five years old will have bad luck; serious accidents might befall them, evil spirits could try to take their lives. English language news supplies facts; Thai language news publishers add a supernatural sense to their headlines to grab Thai readers\' attention - much better than boring facts.</p>\n<p>This surely reinforces Thais\' belief in the supernatural and goes on to set the tone in the Thai comment sections.</p>\n<p>Thailand may well have a laid back culture that charms foreigners. But as long as this avoidance of personal responsibility determines how we behave, Thais will continue to wreak havoc on roads and foreigners are right to be nervous on them.</p>\n<p><span><strong>Pimchanok Pomsuwan</strong></span></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/fingers.jpg','2017-09-07 05:10:20',1,'2017-09-07 05:10:20','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32074,99,'The benefits of working in an after-school language centre','the-benefits-of-working-in-an-after-school-language-centre','Extra cash and more teaching experience for starters!','Teaching at an after-school has been a worthwhile experience. If you are willing to build your endurance and self-discipline then you will gain the rewards of more experience and some extra cash to boot.','<p>I have been working in an after-school centre since the beginning of June 2017.</p>\n<p>Having received a recommendation from a previous teacher, the owner of the centre contacted me for an interview towards the end of May. I was really pleased to have the opportunity as I am focussed on gaining as much \"in class\" experience as possible in order to keep on improving my English teaching skills.</p>\n<p>Following the interview and a perusal of my resume, I was offered employment with two classes, one held on Wednesday from 5:15pm-6:30pm and the other with a similar time frame on Fridays.</p>\n<h3>Prep and activities</h3>\n<p>I always go in early in order to prepare for the lesson and to spend some time with the students before class. This is very important as many young English learners are very shy and its valuable to spend time talking and playing with them before class so that they feel more comfortable with you when class starts.</p>\n<p>A couple of games I play with them that are popular are \"Make A Word\" and \"Simple Scrabble.\" To play \"Make A Word\" I use a set of letters printed and cut out on separate pieces of cardboard. Each student or group receives a set of letters and I instruct them to form a simple phrase or sentence. The first to complete the task is the winner.</p>\n<p>\"Simple Scrabble\" is quite similar. Just cut out pieces of cardboard with a letter on each and a score for that letter printed on the bottom corner of the word. I just use a similar scale as used in real scrabble. Vowels and popular consonants are worth 1 point, while more difficult letters are worth more points. For example, B is worth 3 points, J is worth 8 points and Q is worth 10 points. You need to have a decent pool of letters, say a minimum of 64. Each student picks 8 letters and they take turns at trying to make a word and score points. As its pre-class and I am trying to build a friendly and co-operative spirit all the letters can be placed face up so that the students can control their level of difficulty and help each other during the game.</p>\n<p>I also try to find out what things the students are interested in. Fortunately, I can speak some Thai and can work out what the younger children are trying to explain to me most of the time.</p>\n<p>Stickers are a highly effective reward for students during class. If I can find out that a child likes the Transformers or is a fan of Frozen then I will bring stickers with those themes in order to provide meaningful rewards during class time. It is also useful to link learning vocabulary to student interests during class as a means to maintain motivation.</p>\n<h3>Improving as a teacher</h3>\n<p>Once the class starts it is strictly English only by orders of the owner so this is a great opportunity for me to practice honing my skills to teach English in this mode. I have been able to develop my miming skills by studying the provided curriculum materials and by watching the techniques of the support staff.</p>\n<p>Working in the after school has helped me to develop the ability to match my speaking skills to the ability of my learners to comprehend my instructions more accurately. I enjoy the smaller class sizes as well. I have more time to work on phonics and to assist students to perfect their English through drilling and encouraging them to ask questions to each other.</p>\n<p>As my after-school uses computer and video technology I have also been able to develop my skills when teaching students with technology. I am able to see which activities are of more interest to them and have used this knowledge to improve my own teaching methods when I return to the classroom environment at school. Having students break the words down into syllables and preparing lessons where students practice pronouncing and differentiating between different groups of phonics are techniques that I am now better at providing in class.</p>\n<p>After working at the school for two months I was offered an additional class to teach very young learners for two and a half hours on Sunday mornings. I was very pleased with this as I am already teaching K1 and K2 students in my regular at school lessons.</p>\n<p><strong>Patience and Energy! Patience and Energy!</strong></p>\n<p>These were the two key attributes to bring into a small room of up to nine young pupils who can laugh then cry, speak beautifully then go mute, or tear down the curtains and damage equipment like flashcards in an instant. It really is a bit of a teaching rollercoaster when dealing with such young children but the moments when the lessons go well make the effort worthwhile.</p>\n<p>Holding the attention of the students is not an easy assignment but there are a few techniques that I have employed during the last six weeks that have seen the students gain confidence and to keep me in the job.</p>\n<p>Imitating animals like monkeys and horses always works well. I have a couple of \"naughty\" boys in the class but I can win their attention if I mimic a monkey or pretend to be a horse and let them ride around the room for thirty seconds. The girls always respond well If you make some positive comments about their dress and all kids love an action nursery rhyme. If the students start to fray I can bring them back into order with a rendition of \"Incy-Wincy Spider\" or by falling to the floor after singing \"I\'m a Little Teapot.\"</p>\n<p>A quick list of familiar and easy to perform instructions like \"Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes\" or \"This is the Way We Wash Our Face Early in the Morning,\" generally wins the attention of the students and gets them back into the swing of following the teacher\'s instructions again.</p>\n<h3>High energy</h3>\n<p>Staying extremely upbeat and giving heartfelt praise to each student when they perform a task allows me to maintain an upper hand with my energy levels. High energy levels tend to have a gravitational effect and are highly effective at keeping the students trying as the lesson continues.</p>\n<p>I have learned not to have \"too much energy\" as the young learners need time to have short breaks throughout the course of the lesson, so its definitely necessary to slow down at times and convey a calmer atmosphere when students have to listen and repeat words or answer questions.</p>\n<p>Teaching at an after-school has been a worth-while experience. Sometimes the days can be quite long especially when you teach all day at a regular school. This is a challenge but if you are willing to build your endurance and self-discipline then you will gain the rewards of more experience and some extra cash to boot.</p>','','2017-09-09 18:24:21',1,'2017-09-09 18:24:21','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32077,96,'Music and language acquisition','music-and-language-acquisition','How music benefits the language learner','Learning language through music helps students\' verbatim memory, improves pronunciation, speaks better, and promotes positive atmosphere in learning.','<p>I am not surprised when my students draw the music room as one of their favorite places in school. They are always excited to go.</p>\n<p>One teacher plays the piano and I plan with her the songs to sing. We meet once a week and learn a new song each time. Most of the songs are classic nursery rhymes.  The students sing them while playing or doing different guided movements. It brings a lot of giggles and excitement.</p>\n<p>I get them to wave and  to say goodbye while pretending rowing a foam bed to the tune of row, row, your boat; falling and raising a bridge of London Bridge (a favorite so far) and others.  Music is magical.  One of my students giggles sweetly when the piano is pressed harmoniously.</p>\n<p>Importantly, I\'ve got them to sing the songs without much encouragement. I\'ve seen them pronounce words as best as they can and remember the lyrics easily.</p>\n<p>Numerous studies have proven that music is a pathway to learn a language faster.  Why language stuck faster through a melody? According to the evidence, language and music depend on the same brain systems.</p>\n<p>\"One brain system, based in the temporal lobes, helps humans memorize information in both language and music- for example, words and meanings in language and familiar melodies in music. The other system, based in the frontal lobes, helps us unconsciously learn and use the rules that underlie both language and music, such as the rules of syntax in sentences, and the rules of harmony in music.\" Michael Ullman, Ph.D <br /> <br />Interestingly, language and music are both associated with emotions and the same part of the brain is activated.</p>\n<p>Researchers from Barcelona and Germany have found out that language learning activates sub cortical reward and motivational systems.  They believe that there might be an emotional connection in learning a new language.  Ever wonder why new meaningful words retain faster?</p>\n<p>Additionally, the link between music and language strengthen connections between auditory and motor regions.  The power of music is so great that it is even used in augmenting or treating various cognitive disorders.</p>\n<p>Learning language through music helps students\' verbatim memory, improves pronunciation, speaks better, and promotes positive atmosphere in learning.  There might be hundreds of reasons on how learning a new language through music could benefit a learner, but surely, music brings fun, not only to young minds, but to old ones too.</p>\n<p>This week, I\'m excited to learn with my students how Yankee Doodle goes to town.</p>','','2017-09-15 23:44:43',1,'2017-09-15 23:44:43','2017-09-16 13:01:44'),(32078,100,'Be honest with yourself','be-honest-with-yourself','Every teacher has made mistakes - including you!','I\'ve read many teaching blogs down the years and I generally enjoy hearing about other people\'s experiences.

Most of the time I find myself nodding along in agreement when reading about the lives of other farang teachers.<br /> <br />However there is one thing I\'d like to see more of - honesty.</p>\n<h3>\'Scared\'&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>Before I go on, I\'m not calling anyone a liar, I simply would like to see a bit more self-criticism. I include myself in that. I am just as guilty as anyone of presenting myself as a know-it-all super teacher. I think we are all a little bit scared of admitting our weaknesses.<br /> <br />A few years ago my school hired a teacher for the last two months of term with a view to giving him a contract for the next year; however in a short space of time he managed to infuriate everyone, including the office staff, his co-teachers and the owners of the school with his bad manners and superior attitude. He wasn\'t a bad teacher but he refused to listen to anyone and he wasn\'t kept on.<br /> <br />I later read a blog written by him where he claimed he was treated unfairly. According to his version, all the students loved him and this made the other teachers jealous so they conspired to get rid of him.</p>\n<h3>Conspiracy?</h3>\n<p>This was nonsense of course but I don\'t blame him for it. When things go against you, it\'s natural to invent a narrative where you are the victim of an evil conspiracy.</p>\n<p>I\'ve seen other blog posts where teachers complain about everything, for example:<br />\"The staff were unfriendly and didn\'t like farangs.\"<br />\"They told me I should do it their way even though my way was clearly working.\"<br />\"My lessons were awesome but the students didn\'t appreciate it.\"<br /> <br />These may well be true but a lot of the time I feel like these teachers are not being honest with themselves. While thinking about this I realized I have been doing the exact same thing for many years.</p>\n<h3>Sucked at the job</h3>\n<p>I was actually sacked (well, my contract wasn\'t renewed) from one of my first teaching jobs. There was no grand conspiracy, no disagreement with the boss - I just plain sucked at the job.<br /> <br />It\'s hard to admit that I was a crap teacher but it is a fact. I took a job on an EP program at a good high school. I felt pretty proud of myself as I had beaten other candidates to the job due to an impressive demo lesson and I had high hopes for myself. Things started going downhill pretty quickly however and I soon found myself floundering.</p>\n<h3>Clueless</h3>\n<p>I had absolutely no clue what I was doing and the students knew it. My lessons were awful. I would stand at the board waffling about whatever the topic was for about five minutes, then I\'d give the students some activity to do. I\'d give them nowhere near enough time to do a task (which I had already explained badly), before changing to something else. I kept doing this until everyone lost interest. I\'d then start shouting at them for not trying which made me even more unpopular.</p>\n<p>Instead of try to make things better, I became lazier. I didn\'t seek advice from other teachers because I didn\'t want them to think I was clueless. After two months I was deservedly given the boot - although they offered to let me stay until the end of term so I could find a new job. I was disgusted. How could they treat me so poorly?</p>\n<p>When asked why I left, I would explain it was because the head of the program never wanted me and the students were all a bunch of spoiled brats. I told this story so much that I started to believe it.</p>\n<p>It was not nice to be fired for doing a bad job and I felt terrible at the time but I learned from it and enough time has passed for me to be able to laugh about it. I also haven\'t been fired from a job since which is surely a sign of progress.</p>\n<h3>Admit to your failures</h3>\n<p>I would like to see more teachers talk about their failures because, as hard as it is to talk about, it might be more useful to fellow teachers than \"Let me tell you about all the brilliant stuff I did in the classroom.\"</p>\n<p>Particularly in an industry where the majority of us learn on the job without much guidance, failure is pretty much a guarantee at first unless you\'re blessed with an innate talent for teaching. So why are we so afraid to talk about it? Perhaps the TEFL teacher has a more fragile ego than most. We constantly feel like we have to reassure ourselves that the job we are doing is worthwhile and our skills are legitimate.</p>\n<p>But if we are going to write about our experiences in order to enlighten others, let\'s not neglect to mention some of the massive clangers we have made too. It\'s easy to criticize others but how often do we own up to our own flaws?</p>\n<p>Has anyone else had a similar experience to mine? Let us know in the comments.</p>','','2017-09-16 04:10:00',1,'2017-09-16 04:10:00','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32080,20,'‘Sanook’, games and the Thai EFL classroom','sanook-games-and-the-thai-efl-classroom','Should teachers be entertainers?','One would think that the Thais\' love of ‘sanook\' would make the EFL classroom an inviting place for new EFL teachers, but the situation can be frustrating.','<p>Thailand is described as \"the land of smiles\". The Thai smile is an intriguing and beguiling concept to the uninitiated and has been the subject of countless articles. Undoubtedly linked to this is the Thai fascination with &lsquo;sanook\'.</p>\n<p>The Thai word, \"sanook\" roughly translates as &lsquo;fun\' but in truth, it means much more to that to Thais. It is a deep-rooted cultural value that has great importance in everyday Thai life.<br />Throw in some of the finest cuisine the world has to offer, a balmy sub-tropical climate, beautiful landscapes and it is not hard to see why Thailand is still such a popular destination for EFL teachers.</p>\n<p>One would think that the Thais\' love of &lsquo;sanook\' would make the EFL classroom an inviting place for new EFL teachers but one thing that I sometimes hear teachers say here is, \"The school just wants me to play games with the kids!\" As far as problems in the classroom go, on the face of it, this appears like a very trifling one. However, for a newbie teacher wanting to impart knowledge and language skills to her or his students, the situation can be frustrating.</p>\n<p>It can be, in no small part, down to a breakdown in communication with teacher and school (which is one reason why it is useful to have a school coordinator who can communicate effectively with both the school in Thai and the teacher in English. The school is not asking the teacher to be an entertainer in the classroom. Most likely, they are asking the teacher to have activities that the students view as games which improve their acquisition of language.</p>\n<h3>Why do schools ask teachers to teach using games?</h3>\n<p>There is a strong body of evidence to suggest that games are effective for learning so there is a very good reason why schools might want their EFL teachers to incorporate them into their teaching. Below are just a couple of the reasons that are given by academics:</p>\n<p>1)	Games present material in an engaging way<br />-	The more intense and interesting the material is, the more likely it is to be retained. Games that engage learners through effective use of visuals, audio and storyline are more engaging.</p>\n<p>2)	Games encourage &lsquo;rewards\' and &lsquo;mastery\'<br />-	Rewards are crucial for motivation but if players receive rewards too frequently without sufficient challenge, the motivation decreases. However, players (learners) are driven to repeatedly practice in games until mastery is achieved. The point at which mastery is achieved is not fixed. This adds an element of randomness to when the reward (mastery of the game) is earned which in turn, increases motivation.</p>\n<h3>What games can I use in the EFL classroom?</h3>\n<p>Any good TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) course will look at a variety of games to use in the EFL (English as a foreign language) classroom and there are some great resources online too. However, there is an aspect of EFL teaching that is overlooked by resources that you might come across online and this is suitable games for kindergarten (students aged between approximately three years old to five years old) EFL classes.</p>\n<p>EFL is taught all around the world but Thailand is one of only a few countries where there is a focus on it from a very young age. Children as young as 3 years old will study EFL with a foreign teacher. This is one of the reasons why effective TEFL courses in Thailand will look at equipping their trainees with skills to teach EFL to kindergarten learners.</p>\n<p>Having looked at how games are an effective tool for learning, it is also important to see how we might fit them in to a structured lesson.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>The PPP methodology for teaching English as a foreign language</h3>\n<p>PPP is a well-established methodology for teaching English as a foreign language and I shall borrow from a previous article (the full text along with some videos showing the methodology in action <a href=\"https://seetefl.com/ppp-tefl-teaching-methodology/\">can be found here</a>&nbsp;to give an overview of what it entails.</p>\n<p>\"The PPP method could be characterized as a common-sense approach to teaching as it consists of 3 stages that most people who have learnt how to do anything will be familiar with.<br />The first stage is the presentation of an aspect of language in a context that students are familiar with, much the same way that a swimming instructor would demonstrate a stroke outside the pool to beginners.</p>\n<p>The second stage is practice, where students will be given an activity that gives them plenty of opportunities to practice the new aspect of language and become familiar with it whilst receiving limited and appropriate assistance from the teacher. To continue with the analogy, the swimming instructor allowing the children to rehearse the stroke in the pool whilst being close enough to give any support required and plenty of encouragement.</p>\n<p>The final stage is production where the students will use the language in context, in an activity set up by the teacher who will be giving minimal assistance, like the swimming instructor allowing his young charges to take their first few tentative strokes on their own.\"</p>\n<h3>Kindergarten EFL</h3>\n<p>I encourage our trainees to use the same methodology in the kindergarten classroom. Below, are a couple of examples of production stage activities that encourage students to use the language they have acquired during the lesson independently.</p>\n<p>Most importantly, the kids see the activities as games and &lsquo;sanook\', if you like.</p>\n<p><strong>Spin the bottle </strong></p>\n<p>I imagine that many of you have played a game like this before but in a slightly more adult setting. The aim of the game in a kindergarten EFL class is to have a student spin a bottle in the middle as other students are arranged in a semi-circle around them and the teacher. The bottle will stop spinning and will point to a flashcard or prop that represents an item of vocabulary that has been taught in the lesson. It could be as simple as a &lsquo;banana\' in a lesson on &lsquo;fruits\', for example. The student in the middle will be encouraged by the teacher to name the item of vocabulary as will the whole class after that.</p>\n<p>Very young learners will lack very advanced motor-skills and it will be a challenge for them to spin the bottle correctly and it can be a lot of fun for them to master this. The material is presented in an engaging way and they feel supported in the activity by both the teacher and their peers who will want to help them identify the item of vocabulary.<br /> <br /><strong>The dice game</strong></p>\n<p>Young learners would struggle to roll small dice so why not give them a great big dice to roll! You could use a cardboard box that you might find at a grocery store or a supermarket. Have colourful flashcards stuck to each side of the box that represent the vocabulary taught in the lesson. Students roll the dice and have to identify the item of vocabulary that is on the side that lands &lsquo;face-up\'.</p>\n<p>Unlike the &lsquo;spin the bottle\' described above, young learners do not have much difficulty in throwing the dice in this game! Rather, they enjoy the many different ways they can throw it immensely! The challenge for them here is often to throw it in such a way that it lands on the item of vocabulary that they want to identify but this is obviously largely controlled by the laws of probability.<br /> <br />The games described above work well for our trainees in the teaching practices that they have on their 4-week course with us here. This is because they are relatively easy to manage which is important as they will not have met their students before they teach their lesson at one of the local schools that we go to.</p>\n<p>When teaching in the real world, you can design more dynamic games that involve a lot more movement for your students as you will have had the benefit of teaching them over a long period of time and will have developed more of a rapport with them.</p>\n<p>Years ago when people were looking to teach EFL abroad, they would have been looking at jobs in language schools across the world teaching adults. The landscape is very different now so if designing and playing games with very young learners whilst teaching them EFL sounds like it might be your cup of tea, then teaching in Thailand might be right up your street.</p>\n<p><strong>Shouvik Mukherjee</strong> TEFL trainer, <a href=\"https://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>, Chiang Mai, Thailand</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2018-03-20 19:05:31',1,'2018-03-20 19:05:31','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32093,52,'October 2017','october-2017','News, promotions and links from Thailand\'s most popular TEFL courses','If you\'re thinking of taking a TEFL course in Thailand and maybe looking to secure a good deal, then our monthly TEFL course blog is just what you\'re looking for.','<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/seetefl.jpg\" /></p>\n<p><strong><img height=\"80\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/SEE2015.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 20px;\" width=\"80\" />SEE TEFL Chiang Mai</strong><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href=\"http://seetefl.com/\">SEE TEFL</a>&nbsp;up in Chiang Mai&nbsp;has been teaching a full-time 120-hour TEFL course for over eleven years, and can boast over 1,200 graduates.

In terms of paperwork, it\'s all about getting your ducks in a row so that the actual application day goes as smoothly as possible.','<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Update 3rd November 2018 -&nbsp;</strong>thank you for all the very kind comments that have been posted about this blog and it\'s nice to see that the info has helped a lot of people. &nbsp;Although my UK passport renewal was over a year ago, it doesn\'t seem as if the process has changed at all. Not at the moment anyway. So you can read this blog with confidence. &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Today (4th October 2017) I applied for a new 10-year UK passport at the \'HM Passport Office\' on Sukhumwit Soi 13 in Bangkok. Even though my current passport is valid for another year, I\'m quickly running out of pages (sound familiar?) so it needs to be replaced.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As several readers have pointed out, the place where you will renew your UK passport isn\'t actually an official HM Passport Office but outsourced to a company called VFS. However, this blog is all about what you need to do to renew a UK passport in Bangkok so please indulge me if I call it a UK Passport office or something similar. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn\'t matter what we call it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Applying for a new passport was actually a very straightforward procedure and I was in and out of the building within ten minutes. However, like many bureaucratic processes in Thailand, advance preparation is key. In terms of paperwork, it\'s all about getting your ducks in a row so that the actual application day goes as smoothly as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are a number of online blogs that outline the process involved but none of them really go into enough detail - and I\'m a details man!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/passport1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before I start, let me just point out that I haven\'t picked up the new passport yet. Only when I have the new passport in my hand will it be a case of mission accomplished. So I\'ll keep this blog updated right to the end of the process (including picking up the new passport and transferring visa stamps from the old passport to the new passport at Thai immigration)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for now, we are just concerned with the passport renewal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, here\'s an <strong>overview</strong> of what you need to take to the passport office. Don\'t worry, I\'ll go into detail for each one of the six requirements later.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) A completed application form\r\n	<br>2) Two passport-size photographs\r\n	<br>3) Proof of address (in English)\r\n	<br>4) A completed credit card payment form\r\n	<br>5) Photocopies of your current passport (every single page)\r\n	<br>6) Your appointment letter</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Side-note</strong> - this blog is getting quite a lot of readers and as a result, I\'m receiving a significant number of questions on Thai immigration procedures and other UK passport services. Sorry, but I can\'t answer them. &nbsp;You need to fire the questions at either an immigration officer or the UK passport office (VFS) in Bangkok. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This blog is just one man\'s experience of applying for a UK passport in Thailand. I can\'t answer questions on people\'s visa re-entry stamps or whether your bank can provide you with a statement, etc, etc. You need to ask these questions to the appropriate people. &nbsp;Please keep this in mind.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Location</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The passport office, where you will make your application to renew a UK passport, is located on the 28th floor of <a href=\"http://www.thetrendyoffice.com/\"><strong>The Trendy Building</strong></a> on Sukhumwit Soi 13 in Bangkok.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not a particularly busy office - at least it wasn\'t when I was there at nine \'o\' clock in the morning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Assuming you will go by sky-train, Sukhumwit soi 13 is about half-way between BTS Asoke and BTS Nana. The walk from BTS Asoke is far more pleasant - and if you\'re a little early for your appointment, there are a few decent coffee shops on the way.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you arrive at Soi 13, The Trendy Building is just a hundred metres or so up the soi, on the right-hand side. It\'s not a particularly pleasant or welcoming building. It\'s not a place where you\'ll want to linger and spend more time than necessary.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Side-note</strong> - Many of the businesses on the Trendy Building\'s ground floor are geared towards providing services for Thai visa applicants (photocopying, translation services, etc) and because a number of countries (including the UK) outsource their visa application services to offices in The Trendy Building, the lobby area of the building can get a tad chaotic. There are always lots of visa agents milling around, providing a relatively inexpensive service to those Thais who are too busy to come into town and apply for a foreign visa themselves. <em>But none of these people concern us.&nbsp;</em>I\'m merely just painting a picture for you.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/passport1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\">\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Important! Straight in front of you (when you enter the Trendy Building lobby area) you will see a dedicated VFS information desk, manned by an English-speaking and very helpful Thai lady. She will be an eventual point of contact and we\'ll be coming back to her later.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Requirements</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, let\'s get back to the six requirements mentioned in the overview and take each one in turn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1) A completed application form</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, let\'s get this form filled in! You can download and print off the application form (a four-page pdf file) <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/applying-for-a-passport-from-outside-the-uk-application-form\">at this link</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are TEN sections to the application form and it can appear daunting at first glance, but don\'t get stressed out. A number of the sections you don\'t even need to bother with if it\'s a straightforward renewal for a UK adult passport.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Work your way through the application form (don\'t forget to use black biro ink ONLY)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two important points to bear in mind.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In section one of the form, you need to check the box if you want the sooper-dooper 48-page passport or just stick to the standard 32-page one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 32-page passport is £106.01\r\n	<br>The 48-page passport is £114.01</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both prices include a courier fee (the cost of delivering your passport from the UK to Thailand)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In section 10 of the form, you have a decision to make - whether or not you need a counter-signatory. This is when someone - a friend, a doctor or a retired army colonel (if you\'re lucky enough to know one) signs the back of one of your passport photos with the following;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>‘I certify that this is a true likeness of [title and full name of adult or child who is getting the passport].\'&nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then they sign and date the photograph.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The counter-signatory also needs to fill in section 10 of the application form for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can get all the information about who qualifies as a counter-signatory <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications\">at this link</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What\'s interesting - and I researched this - is if you do not feel that your appearance has changed much in the last ten years (when you got your current passport) then you are free to skip section ten completely and not bother with a counter-signature. That\'s certainly what it says on the official UK Government website.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Personally, I didn\'t want to take the risk. So I invited a good friend for lunch (a guy who has known me for well over five years) and got him to sign one of my passport photos and complete section 10 of the application form.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just to balance things out, Joshua from Khon Kaen got in touch at the end of October 2018 after reading this blog and going through the UK passport renewal procedure himself. &nbsp;Joshua said <em>\"I did NOT fill in section 10 of the application form and neither did I bother with a counter-signature. And I had no problems at all. I am now the proud owner of a new 10-year UK passport\"</em> &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2) Two passport-sized photographs</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The photos must measure 45 millimetres high by 35 millimetres wide (the standard size used in photo booths in the UK)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As we covered in the previous point, the first of your two photos will be signed on the reverse by a counter-signatory (<em>if</em> you decide to go down the counter-signature route), your second photograph will be blank.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have found the secret of eternal youth and your appearance hasn\'t changed much in the last ten years, then BOTH of your photographs will be blank.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I got my passport photos from the photography shop in The Emporium Shopping Mall (BTS Prompong) The shop is on the third floor of the mall (not 100% sure of that) but just a couple of doors away from Boots the chemists. They were very professional in there and knew exactly what I needed. It took five minutes to take my picture and I collected the photos an hour later. I think they cost about 150 baht for a dozen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are of course photography shops all over the city and I\'m sure getting passport-size photos done is going to be the least of your worries. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>3) Proof of address (in English)</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>For many applicants, this part is the real pain in the ass - and I\'m no exception. For example, all the utility bills to our house are addressed to my wife and the address is always in Thai.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, I decided to submit three bank statements with my address clearly shown in English as part of my application, and the receiving officer was more than happy. Three bank statements was probably overkill though. I\'m sure I would have got away with just one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai banks are actually very helpful here if you go in and ask for something nicely. For a small fee, any bank will usually issue you with a bank statement showing your address in English. It might cost you a hundred or perhaps a couple of hundred baht - and you may need to go back to collect it the following day - but you\'ll get the job done.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Other acceptable forms of ID could include a work permit, a driving licence, a utility bill or an employment letter but be aware that anything in Thai has to be translated into English, giving you yet another hoop to jump through.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are numerous offices on the ground floor of The Trendy Building offering translation services and I noticed one them was quoting 150 baht a page on their window, but I really have no idea how long it would take them. Personally, I wouldn\'t risk messing around with getting translations done on the day of your passport renewal unless you have plenty of time to spare.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4) A credit card payment form</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Cash is <strong>NOT</strong> accepted at the passport office. You will need to download and fill in the credit card payment form. It can either be your credit card or someone else\'s. I used my wife\'s card so she had to provide her signature on the form. It\'s pretty self-explanatory. <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/190989/OS_Payment__Instruction_07.13.pdf\">Download the form here.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chris, an ajarn reader from Bangkok, also went through this UK passport renewal process a few months ago and he says <em>\"I just want to point out that you can also pay by debit card (even one for a Thai bank account) if you don\'t have, or don\'t want to use a credit card\"</em>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks for that Chris.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5) Photocopies of your current passport (every page)</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now this is where things start to get expensive. You need to photocopy - in colour - EVERY single page of your existing passport. For me that was a whopping 30 pages at 20 baht a copy. &nbsp;600 baht! Ouch!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once again, it\'s all about getting your ducks in a row.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had done my color photocopying a couple of weeks beforehand when I happened to be in the Sukhumwit area and I decided to use one of the photocopy shops in The Trendy Building. I figured at least these guys would know what they are doing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That said, perhaps you can find somewhere that does colour photocopying cheaper than 20 baht a page. Good luck!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>6) Your appointment letter</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You have to make an appointment with the passport office in advance. You can\'t just turn up uninvited. Here\'s how you do it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Send a short e-mail to BangkokHMPO@vfshelpline.com and explain that you are looking to renew a UK adult passport. Then request THREE dates.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I requested either the 4th, 5th or 6th October and I cheekily asked for a morning slot if possible (if you don\'t ask, you don\'t get)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I got an e-mail reply within half an hour asking me to come on 4th October at 8.50 am. The service really is excellent!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The e-mail not only confirms your appointment but gives you a lot of background information that thanks to reading this blog, you will already know.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Print off the appointment e-mail because you will need to take that with you on your application day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Application Day</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Time things so you arrive at The Trendy Building about 15-20 minutes before your scheduled appointment (there\'s really no point arriving any earlier)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You\'ve already got all your colour photocopies, application form, proof of address etc, etc arranged in a nice folder (you have, haven\'t you? Good)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Go and see the nice lady at the VFS information desk on the ground floor (remember her?) and she will be expecting you Mr Bond. She will tick your name off her appointment list anyway and direct you towards the elevator.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Take the elevator up to the 28th floor. Go through security. Take a queue number at the desk. Finally, file your application when your number is called.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The officer checks all your application documents and gives you a ‘collection document\' (we could even refer to this as a \'receipt\')&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The officer told me that my new passport would arrive in three to four weeks, possibly even sooner. Plus of course he would give me a letter for Thai immigration to help facilitate any transfer of visa stamps.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To reiterate, the whole application process took me less than ten minutes and everything was handled courteously and professionally. I couldn\'t have been more impressed and many of my friends on social media echoed the same thoughts. How rare it is in Thailand to undertake a bureaucratic process and end up thinking ‘shit, what am I going to do with the rest of the day?\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Job done. Go and have a well-earned cup of coffee.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport\">this is the actual UK Government website</a> where you can click through the process and go over the information again.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/passport1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\">\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Update - Monday 16th October</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Received a very nice e-mail from the passport office this morning to say that my new UK passport is now ready for collection. So from the day of application, the process of getting a replacement passport has taken just 12 days. Wow! I\'m impressed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They also called my wife on her mobile phone to tell her that her husband\'s new passport was ready for collection (I always give out my wife\'s mobile number as my contact because I often don\'t answer my own phone or even hear it ringing. I hate phones!)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The e-mail says that there is no need to make an appointment for a collection. I can go anytime from Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 3.00 pm.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I need to take the receipt (which was given to me on the day of application), a copy of the e-mail letter informing me the new passport has arrived and thirdly, my old passport (which presumably they want to cut up)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can\'t go in person, you can send a third party along to collect it on your behalf. They need to show 1) your old passport 2) their own form of ID and 3) an authority letter signed by you giving the third party authorization from you, stating his/her name and that you are permitting him/her to collect the passport on your behalf.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I plan to pick the passport up on Thursday 19th.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>A few comments from other UK passport renewers</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Terry, a reader from Pattaya, said that he very recently went through this UK passport renewal process. When VFS sent him an e-mail to collect the new passport, he had to give them a specific time and collection date. Interesting, because that was not my experience at all. &nbsp;VFS said I could come to pick up the new passport any time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Terry also went on to say that on his actual application day, he waited for ONE HOUR before he was called in to file his application. Again, not my experience at all. &nbsp;I waited about five to ten minutes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jackem (another Ajarn reader) was also asked to request a specific time and date to pick up his new passport and this led to a somewhat confusing e-mail exchange. Jackem decided to ignore the e-mail completely and just turn up at VFS without an appointment. And he was successful!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What about Liz, who lives down in Hua Hin? Well, Liz\'s new UK passport took just 8 days to arrive and when it came to collecting the new passport, she was told she could come and pick it up at any time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This <em>\'do you or don\'t you need to make an appointment to collect your new passport\'</em> seems to have suddenly become the \'cloudiest\' part of the whole process. &nbsp;To use an expression I often use in Thailand - \'it all depends which way the wind is blowing\'&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It might be worth asking the application officer on the day that you make your application as to what the current collection procedure is. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This of course is the problem with blogs of this nature. They are merely snapshots in time. They are one man\'s experience of what happened on a specific day. On another day with different dynamics at play, the experience might be vastly different. And of course rules and requirements can change. &nbsp;Again, always bear that in mind. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/passport1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\">\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Update - Thursday 19th October (picking up the new UK passport)</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I went along to the UK passport office at around midday and collecting the passport was a very simple 10-minute procedure.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was served by the same kind and helpful young man who took care of my original application. He cut a corner off the old passport in that time-honored fashion and also gave me a request letter to show to Thai immigration in order to facilitate the transfer of my visa extension and re-entry permit from my old passport to the new one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Initially I was quite surprised (and a tad disappointed perhaps) at how unofficial-looking and plain the request letter was, but on further inspection it does have a proper signature and an embossed stamp as well as the British Embassy crest. The actual body text of the letter contains blank spaces that you have to fill in yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So the next stop is Thai immigration, which I plan to do on Tuesday the 31st October. Surprisingly, there is very little information on-line about transferring visas, etc from one passport to another. There are the usual expat forum threads which quickly descend into argument and disagreement (I really don\'t know why I bother) but there is virtually nothing written on the topic within the last three years. But as I often say, the best way to find out is to go through it yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So let\'s see how easy or how difficult Thai immigration can make this. Fingers crossed.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Update - Tuesday 31st October (transferring extension of stay stamp and re-entry permit from old passport to new passport)</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, that was about as easy as it gets when you make a trip to Thai immigration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I needed to transfer two things from my old UK passport to the new one - firstly, a one-year extension of stay stamp and secondly, a multiple-entry re-entry permit.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both of these things were issued to me in July 2017 so both were only a few months old.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The whole process once I had handed over my two UK passports (and a few photocopies) was LESS than fifteen minutes. You can\'t grumble at that. Plus there was <strong>NO charge</strong> for this service. I have read on several forum threads of people being charged a 500 baht service fee but that wasn\'t the case for me today. It was freemans. Whether that applies to all Thai immigration offices, I couldn\'t tell you. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is very little information on-line (until now) about transferring Thai stamps from one UK passport to another and it took me a good while to find the official form to download. I eventually found one on a blog belonging to an American guy in Chiang Mai. The blog was written over three years ago but <a href=\"http://donslifeinthailand.com/files/Transfer_Visa_To_New_Passport_ChiangMai.pdf\">here is the downloadable form</a> and I can now assure you that the form hasn\'t changed at all. It\'s still the same fairly basic form.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>OK, here\'s a checklist of what you need to take to immigration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) The <a href=\"http://donslifeinthailand.com/files/Transfer_Visa_To_New_Passport_ChiangMai.pdf\">official form</a> mentioned above (filled in of course)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2) The official letter that was given to you by VFS / UK Passport office when you picked up your new passport (filled in)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3) A copy of your TM6 departure card</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4) A copy of the photo page from your OLD passport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>5) A copy of the photo page from your NEW passport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>6) A copy of the page or pages showing your extension of stay stamp, re-entry permit, etc - in other words, the stuff that you want transferred to the new passport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>7) A copy of your last entry stamp into Thailand</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On a final note - and again this is only stuff that I\'ve got from various expat discussion forums - you ONLY need to go to immigration if you want an extension of stay stamp transferred to a new passport (as in my case)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are here in Thailand on an actual visa that you obtained from a Thai embassy or consulate abroad - perhaps a tourist visa or a single entry non-immigrant B, etc - you do NOT need to go to immigration to transfer the visa to your new passport. Thai immigration can\'t do that anyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can simply show BOTH of your passports to the immigration officer when you exit Thailand. Your old passport will have your visa in it (and it\'s still valid despite the passport being cancelled) and your new passport is your identification.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Please don\'t shoot the messenger. That final bit of info is only what I gleaned from expat forums and as we know, they are not always the most reliable source of info. As I tell everyone - if in doubt, go and speak to your local immigration office.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/passport1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\">\r\n	<br>\r\n</h3>\r\n\r\n<h3>A pat on the back for VFS</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Most or at least many of the foreign embassies in Bangkok now outsource their visa and passport services to the VFS company and VFS probably have several locations in the city.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Last year (2017) when my wife applied for a UK visa, she had to go to the VFS office at The Trendy Building in Sukhumwit 13 (the office we\'ve been talking about above) Just a few weeks ago, she needed to apply for a Schengen visa to visit Austria. This time we needed to go to the VFS office in Silom Complex on Silom Road. It\'s here where they handle visa applications for Austria, Spain, Italy and probably one or two more. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Going back to the VFS Silom office brought back painful memories. About six years ago, my wife applied for a Schengen visa to visit Spain. The VFS system was a mess! No one had to make an appointment. You just turned up. The reception area was chaos as dozens of visa applicants and visa agents frantically waved bits of paper at a young girl on the front desk who looked like she was about to burst into tears.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It took us an unbelievable EIGHT hours to apply for a visa that day! We returned home physically and mentally exhausted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But thankfully those days are long gone. VFS has become a very professional, well-run and well-oiled machine. No one gets over the threshold unless they have an appointment and this of course means VFS controls the number of people in the office at any one time, making for an infinitely better experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Staff are always polite, e-mails are answered in a timely manner, and the whole system works well. My wife received her Schengen visa for Austria in less than a week!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I realise I\'ve gone off on a bit of a tangent in this last section, but I wanted to heap some praise on VFS for running their operation so professionally. Well done! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>','','2018-11-03 00:37:00',1,'2018-02-22 00:37:10','2018-11-07 07:34:33'),(32100,20,'Hands Across the Water','hands-across-the-water','Because every child matters','Today Hands feed, house and educate over 300 children, providing resources that are needed by the dedicated Thai staff to develop the kids in a loving and nurturing way.

In 2010, Hands was introduced to the children at Ban Home Hug in Yasothon and there began the journey beyond the kids of the Tsunami. Hands now operates in seven different locations across Thailand and every single child who spends a month, a year or longer is valued and matters. Every child matters.</p>\n<p>Today Hands feed, house and educate over 300 children, providing resources that are needed by the dedicated Thai staff to develop the kids in a loving and nurturing way. Operating in Thailand, Hands focus is on a number of things. Hands believe in empowering the Thais, respecting their culture and acknowledging that in the main the best people to raise Thai kids are Thais. The charity does not operate from a religious standpoint and does not have a political agenda to drive. Hands also believes the best place for children when all things are equal is with their families and not in homes we operate. But when things are not equal or those opportunities do not exist then Hands provides solutions.</p>\n<p>Supporting over 300 children, Hands operates on a principal of ensuring that every dollar donated goes directly to the children, the homes and the communities we support in Thailand. Hands guarantees that not one dollar of donations is used for any administrative costs of running the charity. Hands operates a separate commercial arm that provides funds for the running costs of the charity.</p>\n<p>In 2015, Hands funded two English as an Additional Language (EAL) specialists to develop an English curriculum tailored to the children\'s needs and engage the children in learning English, a skill which is vital to build confidence and provide employment opportunities, assisting them to break the poverty cycle that many children without family support face.</p>\n<p>In 2016 over eight native speaker, qualified English teachers volunteered to teach the program at the homes.

I\'ve come to realize the futility of trying to impose Western values on this ancient culture.','<p>Thai students routinely cheat but they think of it very differently than we do.</p>\n<p>My background is in corporate training, not K-12. Most of my jobs had the words \"course developer\" somewhere in the title but in that capacity I also did classroom training, or as we called it, instructor-led training. My students were all adults. They all had professional jobs and their employers had paid big bucks for them to have the privilege of sitting in one of my classes.</p>\n<p>They were highly motivated to learn whatever I was teaching. The classrooms were clean, the class sizes were small, and the students were well-behaved. We had support resources an EFL teacher could only dream of after a late night drinking Hong Thong and soda.</p>\n<p>In Silicon Valley a well-designed training program culminates in an assessment activity followed by remediation. Adult students in technical training courses take these assessment activities very seriously.</p>\n<p>When I worked for Rational Software (now a division of IBM) I briefly managed their Certification Program. That was an eye-opening experience. People who took those certification exams were extremely serious, almost fanatical, about their scores. If they passed they would proudly advertise that fact on their resume. If they failed, in some cases by only a few points, they would send us angry email and contest every word in the questions they answered incorrectly.</p>\n<h3>Iterative development</h3>\n<p>Training assessment is about collecting data and gathering feedback which is used to improve the next version of the course. This is called iterative development, and it\'s a cornerstone of course development in the IT industry. As a course developer I want to know if the course I\'m developing is effective. I want to know where my students are having difficulty so I can improve the course. I want everyone to succeed.</p>\n<p>In the classic paradigm students are given a pre-exam before the course starts then a similar post-exam after they\'ve completed the course. (In reality this is rarely done but that\'s what they teach you in instructional design classes.)</p>\n<p>By looking at the average pre/post delta we can gauge a course\'s effectiveness, and by implication, the dollar value of the course. My yearly performance evaluation (translate: pay raise) also came in part from my manager\'s sense of how effective my courses were. My success depended on my students\' feedback. I was passionate about developing good courses so I wanted good data and useful feedback about any new course I was working on.</p>\n<h3>And now I\'m here</h3>\n<p>Fast forward 20 years to a different universe. I\'m working in an un-airconditioned office where the temperature is 35&deg;C and the humidity is 80%. Dust balls roll across the floor. Birds and mosquitos fly through open windows with no screens. The bathrooms have squat toilets. The ancient copy machine only works on Tuesdays. Sometimes I would stare out the window and think WTF did I do to end up here?? Is this some sort of hell for teachers who committed heinous crimes against humanity, or is this the embodiment of the phrase &lsquo;no good deed goes unpunished\'?</p>\n<p>I learned a long time ago to not expect Thai people to think or behave the way we do in California. Their culture is enormously different and their history is much longer - that\'s part of the attraction for me. When I first came here I marveled at those differences. Seventeen years later I\'m still marveling at those differences.</p>\n<p>Over the years I\'ve come to realize the futility of trying to impose Western values on this ancient culture. My survival strategy is to adopt the role of a cultural observer, not a cultural fixer. This is the mental shield I use to get through the hot, humid days of frustration at the local high school where I teach. Observe, don\'t fix.</p>\n<h3>\"Observe, not fix\"</h3>\n<p>This last semester I was asked to proctor some exams. If you work in a public school here you\'ve probably been asked to do the same thing: sit in the back of a classroom all day while Thai students take exams which determine their grades for that semester. If you\'ve been here for a while you know they\'re going to cheat. My wife told me she cheated on her exams when she attended the same school where I was teaching. She even told me some of the creative ways in which Thai students exchange information surreptitiously, so I was curious to see this in action.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><em><em><a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\"><strong>California Accent</strong></a>&nbsp;offers free training materials (courseware) which can be used to teach English to Thai students. These training materials are free for parents and teachers to use as long as they are not resold or used for commerical purposes. New materials are being added to this site every week as they are developed and tested by the author.</em></em></p>\n<hr />\n<p>I knew this was the reality of education in Thailand so from my vantage point in the back of the room I decided to observe, not fix. It was fascinating. I saw scraps of paper being handed off. I saw nodding heads and silent hand gestures. By the end of the day the communication grew more overt as the Thai teacher in the front of the room kept her head down, her gaze focused on the papers of her desk, apparently oblivious to the behavior of the students who by now were whispering to each other.</p>\n<p>Sometimes they would glance at me, the tall farrang in the back of the class, but as it\'s been said before on teaching forums, farrang teachers aren\'t taken seriously by Thai students. They see us as entertainers, not educators. My presence didn\'t deter them from exchanging notes or leaning back to expose their exam to the person sitting next to them. I observed without interfering. I was an anthropologist, not a policeman.</p>\n<h3>Cultural stigma</h3>\n<p>I\'m not overly concerned about rampant cheating during exam week. The worst part was the sad realization that this is how poor students who should have failed were going to get passing grades and advance to the next level, thereby making the job of the next teacher more difficult. There\'s a great deal of stigma about failing in this culture and it\'s viewed as the fault of the teacher, not the student, so I understand why the teacher who kept her head down during the exam was not motivated to stop students from helping each other.</p>\n<p>If I had the authority to make drastic changes to the Thai educational system, in other words to fix it, I would absolutely put a stop to the practice of letting poorly performing students sit in the same classroom as the high-performing students. I firmly believe we\'re doing a huge disservice to both populations when this happens.</p>\n<p>I also gave my own exams to my students in Mattayom 3 and 6. Like most EFL teachers, I was asked to teach \"conversation\", not basic English skills. My academic background from the late Pleistocene era was behavioral psychology where there was a big emphasis on quantifying behaviors. Consequently, my oral exams consisted of asking each student a simple question like \"What did you do this weekend?\" and counting the number of words in their response.</p>\n<h3>Could I stamp out cheating?</h3>\n<p>Overall this strategy worked fairly well but the ubiquitous cheating was contaminating my data. As soon as the first few students learned how to get high scores by putting long strings of words together, I realized they were coaching each other and saying the same things.</p>\n<p>Now I was not so sanguine. Now I was emotionally invested because I had spent a lot of time and effort to develop the course and administer these exams. This is MY course, this is MY exam, and you kids are contaminating MY data! How can I improve my course if I don\'t get good data? I need to fix this! Stop cheating!</p>\n<p>While testing individual students I noticed the poorly-performing ones would laugh nervously and look at their classmates for help when I asked them my standard question. Often other students would stand nearby and supply additional vocabulary for the student who was unable to speak more than a few words of English. I told one overly helpful student to stop it but the disappointed look on his face surprised me. Didn\'t he understand that he was helping the other student get an undeserved score?</p>\n<p>I made all the students leave the classroom and only let one at a time come in for the exam. That didn\'t help. I could hear them outside yelling at each other and frantically trying to memorize a response that had proved successful. As soon as one student answered my question and got their score, he or she would run outside and share their results with the other kids. They adopted a hive mind, a collective intelligence. They were like the Borg, assimilating and adapting.</p>\n<h3>Successful or not?</h3>\n<p>That\'s when I had a realization: I think they\'re cheating but they think they\'re helping. I noticed they were trying to memorize successful responses as fast as they could. I saw the smart students teaching the slow students. My so-called assessment activity had turned into a learning activity. In that sense it was successful.</p>\n<p>In terms of collecting good data it was less successful, but in the long run it doesn\'t really matter. I got a qualitative sense of how well my course worked even if I didn\'t get reliable quantitative results. Hey, I\'m not writing a graduate thesis - I\'m just trying to teach English conversation to a bunch of bored teenagers.</p>\n<p>My lightbulb moment was to stop thinking of this as an assessment and appreciate the fact that for a few minutes they were actually practicing simple conversation. They were learning. I was learning. Observe, don\'t fix.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>If you want to see some of my exams you can download them from a website I\'m building:&nbsp;<a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\"><strong>california-accent.com</strong></a>.

These have been our experiences so far.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Seoul, Korea (December 2014)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For our Air BnB baptism in December 2014, things got off to the worst possible start. Although the host had given us first-class instructions on how to get from the airport to neighborhood by airport bus, and we found the apartment building without any difficulty whatsoever, things went rapidly downhill when we tried to enter our room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The access code we were given for the automatic door-lock simply didn\'t work and my wife and I were left standing around and scratching our heads in an icy cold corridor, as a wintry darkness started to fall outside. Neither of us had a wi-fi connection either so it was impossible to call up the host and tell her we couldn\'t get in. Welcome to the dark side of renting accommodation on Air BnB I suppose.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb1.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thankfully a kindly neighbour emerged from the apartment opposite and even though he spoke no English, was able to reach for his mobile phone and contact the host on our behalf. Within ten minutes, some elderly Korean lady (possibly a maid of some description) arrived and saved the day. At least we weren\'t going to be homeless in Seoul that night.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A very apologetic host called us immediately and told us that the previous Air BnB tenants had, in their wisdom, decided to change the door-lock code. \"They had no right to do this\" said the host.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, it was the only blip on what turned out to be a wonderful stay.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Price-wise, we paid 70 Euros a night for 8 nights, which with cleaning fee and Air BnB charge, came to a total of 638 Euros (around 25,000 Baht)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For such a lovely, cosy, centrally located apartment with a spacious kitchen area and one of the most comfortable beds I\'ve ever slept in, 3,000 Baht a night felt like great value.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apartment also came with underfloor heating. We decided to give it a try as the December night-time temperatures in Seoul plummeted to a bone-cracking minus ten degrees. Within half an hour, we were at the point of passing out as the apartment became unbearably hot. We never touched the underfloor heating dial again. The apartment was perfectly warm enough without it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apartment building was located a two-minute walk from the nearest metro station and like any other major city around the world, once you\'ve figured out the public transport system, you can get anywhere in the city in no time. The trendy Myeong-dong shopping area (the only place to be after dark) was just a couple of stations away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The building also had a cute coffee shop on the ground floor run by a very chatty and friendly owner from Taiwan. He served great coffee and did a mean ham and cheese toastie.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Looking at the air BnB listings, it appeared that Alice and Warren (the hosts) owned several apartments in that particular Seoul neighborhood - a growing sector of Air BnB entrepreneurs buying up properties like an enthusiastic Monopoly player.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/2799127\">Photos and listing for where we stayed in Seoul.&nbsp;</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tokyo, Japan (December 2015)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In a city as pricey as Tokyo, you need to shop around for accommodation if you\'re on some sort of budget. We had been to Tokyo a couple of years earlier and stayed in a ludicrously small hotel room with barely enough space to sleep and store a couple of suitcases. A year on from our Korea trip and we were eager to see what Air BnB in Tokyo had to offer.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is certainly no shortage of options and we eventually went for another studio apartment in the Ueno district of the city. It\'s a neighborhood we were familiar with (having already stayed there before) and knew how to get there from Tokyo airport by fast train (using the excellent Keisei Skyliner service)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With service fees, etc, the cost came in at 913 Euros (about 36,000 baht) for 7 nights. But hey! this is Tokyo.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We never got to meet the host, Yoichiro-San (you rarely get to meet the hosts of Air BnB accommodation if you rent an entire place) but nothing was too much trouble. This was a man who really cared about his guests. When I had trouble connecting my laptop to the wi-fi, he offered to accompany me to the offices of his internet service provider but truthfully, I didn\'t want to bother him so close to the New Year holidays. By way of apology, he came round while we were out and left us a $60 Starbucks gift card, which I thought was a wonderful gesture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of all the Air BnB experiences we\'ve had so far, this apartment was the one we liked least of all. It was perfectly adequate for our needs and the surrounding neighborhood had all the restaurants and convenience stores you could wish for. It was also just a ten-minute stroll to the closest metro station and the main station for the train to the airport.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The downside was that the studio apartment itself was a bit sparse. The living / sleeping area was a perfect square with just a couple of mattresses on the floor that you slept on at night and rolled up each morning to give you more room. There was no sofa to sit on or any kind of work table or desk. It felt like you were permanently sitting on the floor. The kitchen area was also a tad cramped. This is of course very Japanese-style (especially in Tokyo where living space is at such a premium) and I probably shouldn\'t be moaning - but I can only compare things alongside other Air BnB experiences.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reading this blog, my wife thought my comments on the Tokyo accommodation were harsh. \"Thais and Japanese really don\'t mind sitting around on the floor\" she said. It\'s a fair point but I\'m writing here for a mostly Western and expat audience. And we like a sofa don\'t we?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We also had another disaster entering the property on the day we arrived. Lightning does indeed strike twice! This time the experience was scarier (compared to Seoul) because it was much later at night, it was freezing cold, the whole neighborhood had gone to bed - and we were outside the building!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yoichiro-San had left the apartment key in a small safe-box secured to a wire-mesh fence. We found the fence. We found the safe-box. We just couldn\'t open it. We begged for assistance from a young Japanese couple passing by. They couldn\'t open it either. Neither could they get in touch with the host on their phones.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When all hope seemed lost, I decided to give the safe-box just one more try. And just as we were facing the prospect of a night under the stars, on a bench in Ueno Park, the damn safe-box sprung open. I have never felt so relieved to see a door-key in my life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The question was, after two very negative experiences trying to get into our accommodation (a 100% record I might add) would we be willing to give Air BnB a third chance?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7229331\">Photos and listing for where we stayed in Tokyo</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Melbourne, Australia (April 2016)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Four months later, in April 2016, we did give Air BnB another chance and it turned out to be our best experience yet. This time we splashed out on a one-bedroom apartment rather than a studio - and the place was perfection.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The newish apartment building itself was situated slap bang in the middle of Melbourne\'s central business district, on one of the city\'s main shopping streets, with coffee shops, take-aways and sandwich bars on every corner. There was even a Krispy Kreme donut shop right opposite the front door. For getting around the city, you had a tram stop in front of the building and Southern Cross, Melbourne\'s main train station, was a two-minute walk away. You couldn\'t have wished for a better location for two strangers looking to familiarize themselves with the city.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb3.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Actually, the whole building felt like it consisted of nothing but Air BnB rentals. Every time we rode up and down in the elevators, it was busy with what looked like younger-generation transient travellers. I never once clapped eyes on someone who appeared to be a permanent resident.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our apartment, on one of the highest floors in one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne, offered plenty of space for a couple complete with a comfy lounge and TV, a well-equipped kitchen with its own breakfast bar and a bedroom with a huge plate glass window that gave you night-time views over Melbourne to die for. There was also a brand-new washing machine if you could be bothered to figure out what all the dials and buttons were for.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was the first of our Air BnBs that I genuinely felt I could live in on a full-time basis and turn into a home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We paid a total of 984 Euros (about 39,000 Baht) for a 10-night stay (my wife\'s company had given her a slightly longer holiday this year) and I thought less than 4,000 baht a night for a place of that quality in such a prime location was exceptional value.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Again we never got to meet the host but reading between the lines, he was possibly an Aussie-Chinese businessman who owned at least half a dozen properties in the same building and probably even more apartments-to-rent in other areas.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His e-mail communication in the months leading up to our trip was always polite but also very straight-to-the-point and business-like. This was a man who had little time for meaningless chit-chit. This is where my apartment is. This is how you get there from the airport. Don\'t make any noise. Enjoy your stay. That was pretty much it. When I left him a glowing review on the Air BnB website, he responded with simply ‘Thanks, Phil\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Oh, and we had no problems getting into the apartment this time around. When you are juggling around as many Air BnB properties as this guy was, you employ a full-time Filipino whose sole responsibility is to check clients in and out of their accommodation. She was waiting for us in the building lobby when we arrived and the check-in all went very smoothly indeed. This was a guy who had got things seriously organized.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/9310821\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Melbourne.</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Taipei, Taiwan (December 2016)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Our fourth Air BnB experience in December 2016 taught us a very important lesson. Never click on the Air BnB ‘instant booking\' function without first building up some sort of rapport with the host. You have to find out if they\'re a good fit for you as well as you being right for them. More importantly, you need to find out if they can speak English or can speak whatever language you need to communicate in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We had a nightmare with the host of our accommodation in Taipei. We got to meet him on the day that we arrived and he was a smashing fellow, but in the months leading up to our arrival in Taipei we had several serious miscommunication issues as a result of his poor English. He couldn\'t string a basic sentence together.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We couldn\'t work out whether he was going to meet us at the airport or not. When we asked for directions in order to make our own way there, he would change the subject and talk about something else. Then he startled waffling on about a problem with a burst water pipe. The final straw came when he outlined his intentions to move another couple into the same accommodation at the same time as we were there. The guy was making my head spin. Eventually, sensing my patience was wearing thin, he got his friend, with supposedly ‘better English skills\' to contact us. The friend got involved in what then became a three-way conversation and just made matters worse.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In sheer desperation, I turned to Air BnB customer service, stopping just short of cancelling the whole stay and asking for a refund. I begged them for help.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Credit where it\'s due, Air BnB customer service were fantastic. They assigned a Taiwanese-speaking staff member to handle our case and everything got sorted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb4.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for the accommodation itself, we went a little overboard with this rental. This wasn\'t just an apartment somewhere in downtown Taipei. It was a four-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen and two bathrooms. It was huge! When you stood outside the three-storey building, it was about as plain and grubby as any other building in the neighborhood, but turn the key in the door and climb one flight of stairs and you were in another world. It was like Dr Who\'s tardis.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was probably my wife\'s favourite of all our Air BnB rentals because although the apartment was far too ‘luxurious\' for our needs, it was wonderful to have a bedroom, a ‘dressing room\' and a bathroom each. We felt like millionaires. Not only that but the apartment was beautifully furnished throughout and the host had even gone to the trouble of putting up a few Christmas decorations to make our stay even more enjoyable.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apartment was again just a short walk to the nearest subway station and getting around Taipei was a breeze. I always feel that proximity to public transport is so important. Not so much at the beginning of the day when you are full of energy but after a full-day\'s sight-seeing when your spirits are starting to flag. It\'s always nice to emerge from the metro station into street level daylight and know that your digs are just a hop, skip and a jump away.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All of the above came at a price of course. $1,348 US Dollars (45,000 Baht) for eight nights came in at 168 Dollars (5,625 Baht) a night. By far the most we had spent on an Air BnB rental up to that point - but in many ways, well worth it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/13499869\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Taipei.</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Stratford-Upon-Avon, England (April 2017)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The wife and I took a trip back to England in April 2017 to see my family and it became our fifth Air BnB experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks largely to good old William Shakespeare, Stratford-Upon-Avon (where my parents live) is one of the most expensive areas in the country for hotels and guest houses. 80 pounds (3,500 baht) a night might just about get you a cramped double room under the attic roof at some 3-star bed and breakfast. That\'s if you\'re lucky enough to find one that hasn\'t got the ‘no vacancies\' sign hanging in the front window - and that\'s rare in Stratford.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We looked at several ‘entire house\' options for a ten-night stay but all were either prohibitively expensive or simply didn\'t take our fancy (sparsely decorated, poor location, etc) so we decided to break with tradition and go for a room in an occupied house. A house where effectively you would be guests of the family.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb5.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Greg and Melanie\'s house (not forgetting Molly the dog) seemed to tick all the right boxes. A lovely double room tastefully furnished, our own bathroom (not en-suite but just a short step across the landing) and a five-minute walk to the centre of Statford along the nearby canal. In her Air BnB description, Melanie even promised to rustle up a continental breakfast each morning for guests staying for more than two nights.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>$89 U.S Dollars a night (about 2,750 Baht) seemed a reasonable price so we decided to go for it. It turned out to be an excellent decision.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ex-British Airways flight stewardess Melanie (now retired) was the most wonderful host She fussed over us every morning, laying a fine spread of toast, cereals, croissants, yoghurts, fruit and sometimes even a bit of egg and bacon - and made sure every aspect of our stay was perfect. Is the bed comfortable? Are you warm enough? Have you had enough to eat? Sometimes her friendly husband Greg would pop his head around the door to say a quick hello on his way to work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although we had changed tact and moved away from renting an entire apartment, I actually enjoyed the opportunity to interact and chat with a local - and such a lovely lady at that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Being a nosey sort of person, it was also an opportunity to quiz Melanie on how she enjoyed life as an Air BnB host. She told us she had decided to throw open the doors to her house when her two grown-up children had left home. And of course the extra income that the spare room generated was always welcome.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I asked what the average guest\'s length of stay was and indeed if she had ever had anyone rent the room for as long as we had (ten nights)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Most people stay for just one night\" she replied, \"they book tickets to see a play at the Royal Shakespeare Company, have a drink and stay here for one night to avoid driving home late. We were quite excited to get your booking. Ten nights! Wow! In fact Greg and I have booked a short holiday on the strength of it, so thank you for that\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Have you had any bad experiences with Air BnB guests?\" I tentatively enquired.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Funny you should ask that because we almost gave up the Air BnB thing before it had even started. Our very first guests were a young European couple. They checked in and they liked the room. So far, so good. Then I guess they\'ve gone out to paint the town red and come back late at night and extremely drunk. Greg and I were already in bed but we could hear them giggling in the porch and fumbling around with the door-key. Then after about five minutes we could hear them mooching around in the kitchen (which is off limits to house guests) Greg grabs his dressing-gown and goes downstairs to investigate. Anyway, the young couple obviously had an attack of the midnight munchies and decided to raid the fridge\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I shook my head. \"Unbelievable. Did you end up booting them out?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"No. We didn\'t really know how to handle the situation but thankfully the couple went to bed and it was never mentioned again. They stayed for several nights and thankfully the rest of their holiday passed without incident. But it did make me question whether the whole Air BnB thing was worth it. That said, the vast majority of guests are lovely. We\'ve met and hosted some fantastic people\".</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14896499\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Stratford-Upon-Avon.</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Osaka, Japan (December 2017)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Another Christmas and New Year holiday rolled around and we decided on an eight-day break in Japan, but this time we based ourselves in the country\'s second largest city, Osaka, with a view to doing side-trips to Nara and Kyoto.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So how would our Air BnB digs compare to the apartment we rented in Tokyo several years ago? Better? Well, yes and no.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb6.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was our first Air BnB accommodation where cold became an issue. The air-conditioner doubled as a wall heater but the unit was somewhat inadequate when it came to combatting the single digit Winter temperatures outside. Actually for several hours, we couldn\'t get the damn thing to work at all. It did nothing but blow out cold air, which was the last thing we wanted. We read and re-read the apartment manual that the host provided, but still couldn\'t fathom out how to get that heater going.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Eventually, freezing our nuts off, we contacted the host, who was no help in the situation. He certainly wasn\'t willing to come round to the apartment in person and offer his assistance. So we were rather stuck. Eventually my wife had the brainwave to contact her friend back in Bangkok, who is fluent in Japanese. She identified several Japanese to English translation errors in the apartment manual, especially the part describing the functions on the remote control unit. We had been pressing the wrong buttons all along but Hooray! - with a bit of guidance, we got that heater working!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the next eight days, the heater did its best but it wasn\'t powerful enough to warm up the whole apartment. The kitchen and bathroom areas were mighty cold first thing. It took me back to the English Winters of my youth and the struggle to get out of bed each morning.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At $87 U.S Dollars a night (about 2,800 baht) this was probably the budget end of the market for something so spacious in Central Osaka (and it was certainly a great location) The whole apartment had a rather \'studenty\' feel to it, and was probably ideal for four or five friends who didn\'t mind living like sardines in an attempt to minimize costs. The apartment was also a bit \'grubby\'. Everywhere could have done with a good squirt and a wipe. In addition, all the applicances - toaster, microwave, iron, kettle, etc - were the cheapest models money could buy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m coming across as negative towards the place and while first impressions were not great, we grew to like the space the apartment afforded a couple, and we adored the immediate neighborhood. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/11445990\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Osaka</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Penang, Malaysia (March 2018)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife and I both agreed that this was possibly our best Air BnB accommodation yet - and for a great value price of just 2,700 baht a night. There was simply nothing to dislike about it! A Scandanavian style two-floor duplex located in a modern retail and entertainment zone on the eastern side of Penang island in an area known locally as \'The Maritime Waterfront\'.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"400\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb7.jpg\" width=\"1440\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apartment had glorious views of the harbor, two perfectly adequate bedrooms and bathrooms and superfast wi-fi. For two people, it was simply huge! No problems checking in either (the host had left the key behind a picture frame next to the front door)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Maritime Waterfront had plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs, however the only downside was that it was three kilometres from the capital Georgetown, where you would naturally want to spend all your daytime and evening hours. Thankfully Uber taxis were very cheap and took care of the commuting quite nicely. I wrote a blog on <a href=\"/blogs/bangkok-phil/a-long-weekend-in-penang\">my opinions of Penang</a> if you\'re interested.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/8741307\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Penang</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>Vienna, Austria (April 2018)</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It was back to Europe for our April holiday (or our \'main holiday\' as we like to call it) and a \'typical Viennese apartment close to the city center\' sounded like just the ticket for a 10-night stay in the Austrian capital. &nbsp;It was a delightful place to call home. Beautifully furnished with its own kitchen plus bathroom with separate toilet (something we always appreciate) the apartment belonged to a serial Air BnB player, an Austrian guy called Roman, who has an incredible 16 listings on the Air BnB website.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The location was pretty much unbeatable with a neighborhood full of reasonably-priced Asian restaurants and just a five-minute walk from Vienna\'s most popular shopping street, The Mariahilferstrasse. It was also only a 5-10 minute stroll to both the nearest metro station (Zeiglerglasse) and the main WestBanhof train station, where you could catch the train to Salzburg among other towns and cities in Austria.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/airbnb8.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>For this piece of luxury in the heart of the Vienna, we paid 63 Euros a night (about 2,500 baht) plus of course the usual Air BnB fees and cleaning fees (which brought it closer to 3,500) Still very decent value we thought for so much space.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This particular Air BnB booking was the first time I had encountered a \'security deposit\'. At the time of booking, the host requested us to add another 6,000 baht to the bill, which would only be charged (in part or in full) if there were any breakages or damage to the property. This was new to me. None of the previous Air BnB hosts had ever mentioned a security deposit so naturally I was a tad skeptical and researched things further.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Credit where it\'s due, the security deposit is very well explained on the Air BnB website. Firstly, it is entirely up to the host of the property whether or not they want to include a security deposit on the final invoice. The vast majority of hosts don\'t seem to bother with it though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So how does the security deposit work? Apparently if after the guests have checked out and the host discovers something has been damaged, they then make a claim with Air BnB and the matter is discussed in a three-way conversation between the property host, the Air BnB website and the departed guests. It\'s not simply a case of \"the guest broke a microwave so they have to pay for a replacement\" It seems that the host has to provide concrete evidence of the damaged goods and the departed guests have the full right to dispute it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I can\'t comment on the outcome or how things would be handled because fortunately, we never broke anything - but watch out for that security deposit when you make a booking.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/6281548\">Photos and listing of where we stayed in Vienna.</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 0.83em;\">Afterthoughts</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>We love staying in hotels and we love guest houses that serve up hearty full English breakfasts, but we love the Air BnB experience as well. My wife likes the privacy that an Air BnB rental provides and she generally dislikes having to make small talk in English to perhaps fellow hotel guests or some chatty landlady in the breakfast room. For me, it\'s all about the unique feeling and sense of adventure that you get from an Air BnB rental compared to a hotel. You instantly feel like a local, almost like part of the community rather than some faceless, transient hotel guest going up and down in an elevator, clutching your plastic key-card. And although we\'ve had our ups and downs with Air BnB accommodation, it still gives me a genuine buzz to peruse the Air BnB listings in any given town or city and wonder what adventures and experiences lie ahead.</p>','storage/legacy/files/blogs/airbnb1.jpg','2018-04-26 21:13:00',1,'2018-03-22 21:13:39','2018-04-26 15:00:02'),(32106,97,'Don\'t come to Thailand if this makes you mad','dont-come-to-thailand-if-this-makes-you-mad','You\'ve got to roll with the punches','Things are very spur of the moment in South East Asia. You hardly ever hear about things until the last possible second. There is nothing you can do about it.

It can give you a headache as much as it can make you laugh. For example, here is how things typically are as a teacher here in Thailand.</p>\n<p>One day at work, a Thai teacher handed something to my friend Paul. It was a few pages stabled together written in Thai. He didn\'t have time to look it over that day but the next day he sat at his desk and took a look.</p>\n<p>He knew how to read Thai, but didn\'t know many words. He said, \"Hmmm.... This looks like a script to a play.\" He goes to the Thai teacher that handed it to him and asked, \"Is this a script to a play?\" The teacher said yes. He then asked, \"Do I have a speaking part in this play?\" The Thai teacher said yes. I know you know the next question my friend asked...... say it with me....</p>\n<p><strong>WHY DIDN\'T YOU TELL ME? </strong></p>\n<p>Lucky for us, the Thai teachers were rock stars and always super helpful. They wrote out his lines in romanized script and he taped it to the front of the stage so he could read them. Everything worked out fine.</p>\n<p>That is a way of life here in South East Asia. Things are very spur of the moment. You hardly ever hear about things until the last-possible-second. There is nothing you can do about it. No matter how hard you complain, it\'s not going to change.</p>\n<p>It\'s not the end of the world though.</p>\n<p>Bitter idiots who have been here for years, constantly complaining about Thailand and saying how much they hate it here but are too stupid to leave are going to tell you, \"Oh Thais don\'t like you, they have no respect for you, you\'re nothing to them....\" yadda yadda yadda.</p>\n<p>This might be true in some places. I\'m sure there are some schools that are an absolute nightmare to work in. The teachers there care more about their egos and reputations than they do for the students. That kind of attitude is pathetic because I will always put my kids before myself every time.</p>\n<p>There are also plenty of good schools too where the male Thai teachers are stars and the female Thai teachers are angels. I\'ve been fortunate enough to work with wonderful Thai teachers who I got along great with. Even though I\'ve worked with great Thai teachers, I still got used to that last minute information.</p>\n<p>From my 3 &frac12; years here my take on it is - it\'s their wiring. What I mean by that is if we\'re given information about work or what have you, we want to check with each other to see if everyone has the information because we assume people don\'t know it yet. It\'s our wiring. They are wired the opposite way. They seem to assume you already know the information and if you didn\'t, you would ask.</p>\n<p>How do you deal with it? You need to roll with the punches.</p>\n<p>Personally speaking I think I\'m going to come up with a bribery system with kids I can tell are my best ones. If they let me know about an activity that is going to interrupt things a few days ahead of time, I\'ll give them 100 baht. Fair enough right?</p>\n<p>I\'ll finish this blog with a shameless plug.

There\'s a worry that students aren\'t qualified to self-evaluate, that it\'s the teacher\'s job (and duty) to allocate and distribute scores in some objective way.','<p>In the wake of hurricane Maria, the US government got involved with assisting Puerto Rico with its recovery efforts.</p>\n<p>In response to a question from a reporter on the effectiveness of this assistance, president Trump awarded himself a perfect 10. That\'s awesome. But the brazen confidence of Trump\'s statement and the <a href=\"http://metro.co.uk/2017/10/19/watch-puerto-rico-governors-face-when-trump-gives-himself-1010-for-effort-7013274/\">press commentary that followed</a>&nbsp;brought up a few questions. Was Trump right to be asked to evaluate his (and his country\'s) efforts? Was his score of 10 justified? Should we take this score seriously?</p>\n<h3>A good idea?</h3>\n<p>Similarly, in the classroom, are we right to ask our students to evaluate their own performance? Are the scores students give themselves on their work justifiable? Can we take these scores seriously as part of the students\' course scores?</p>\n<p>Not a lot of teachers I know use self-evaluation, and perhaps for good reason. There\'s a worry that students aren\'t qualified to self-evaluate, that it\'s the teacher\'s job (and duty) to allocate and distribute scores in some objective way.</p>\n<p>Or teachers may be concerned that students will use the opportunity to \'cheat\' in some way and give themselves a perfect 10 when there is reason to suggest that such an accolade is inaccurate. For some teachers (and schools), scores are sacrosanct, and giving students control over them would be unthinkable.</p>\n<h3>Unbiased feedback</h3>\n<p>Besides, is there really any benefit in getting students to evaluate themselves? Surely the feedback from the scores given by teacher (or exam) provide a more balanced (and unbiased) form of feedback for the student to gauge their success?</p>\n<p>But the fact is that we are all constantly engaging in self-evaluating. For example, look at this frequently asked question:</p>\n<p>\"Hey Steve, how good is your Thai?\"</p>\n<p>This is a call to self-evaluate. Now, my response may perhaps depend on my personal confidence, my mood, my need to impress, the context, and the relative meaning of \'good\' in comparison to some standard. I might, for example, say:</p>\n<p>\"Not nearly as good as yours. You order.\"</p>\n<p>or, less self-effacingly:</p>\n<p>\"It\'s fine, let me ask how much that banana is.\"</p>\n<p>or, more Trump-like: \"I\'m fluent, a perfect 10. Let me mediate this border dispute.\"</p>\n<h3>Seeing improvement</h3>\n<p>If self-evaluation is a natural part of our lives, why not include it as part of class life? Proponents of self-evaluation argue that it increases student self-regulation (for example setting goals and monitoring progress), encourages autonomy, develops confidence, and improves students\' thinking skills. Being able to accurately assess ourselves is an important part of making sure we know how we can improve.</p>\n<p>That being the case, if we use self evaluation, will it be accurate? Is there a risk that students will be motivated to all give themselves that perfect 10 irrespective of the facts; or perhaps grossly underestimate their ability and unjustiably damn themselves to ruin with low scores?</p>\n<p>Interestingly, evidence from research (see the reference to Brown and Harris at the end) shows that students seem to be fairly honest, and consistent, with their self-evaluations. There is also evidence to suggest that students enjoy the process of self-evaluation, and that, done right, it leads to positive gains in learning. It all looks rather rosy.</p>\n<h3>Self-evaluation methods&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>So what does \'done right\' mean? There are at least two considerations to making self-evaluations work in the classroom. First, self-evaluation is a formative assessment strategy. Formative scores are collected during the term, and become the basis for identifying areas of strength and weakness, and guiding further teaching and learning.</p>\n<p>In contrast, summative scores are collected at the end of course course, and summarize the success of the students\' learning. For self-evaluation to have any learning potential, it needs to be handled formatively so that the students can use their experience from it to guide further learning.</p>\n<p>Second, the self-evaluation task needs to specifically guide or scaffold the students\' judgement of their performance. One way might to be give (and train the students to use) a rubric (<a href=\"https://www.spfk12.org/cms/lib/NJ01001501/Centricity/Domain/9/igetit%20student-designed%20rubric.pdf\">perhaps like this one</a>) that sets out the desired goal. Or, <a href=\"http://www.smartbrief.com/original/2014/01/helping-students-self-assess\">in this article</a>&nbsp;Pauline Zdonek suggests asking students to complete a chart on specific elements of their work (like why they answered a question incorrectly), so the self-evaluation task guides their thinking.</p>\n<p>Or an idea <a href=\"https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/02-40-1-f.pdf\">from  this article</a>&nbsp;by Richard Watson Todd to get students to compare their writing at the beginning of the course to a similar writing task given at the end, with guiding questions to help them gauge their progress.</p>\n<p>In one class, I had to submit a speaking score for nearly 50 students and decided to take a gamble on self-evaluation, primarily to try to reduce the workload for myself (how pragmatic of me, right?).</p>\n<p>In pairs, students recorded a semi-scripted dialogue using the recording app on their phones. They then listened to their recording and judged their performance on specific language issues, like the pronunciation of the final \'s\' sound on plural nouns.</p>\n<p>It was noisy and chaotic and I was initially horrified by the fact that I couldn\'t control what everyone was doing. But the students loved it. They listened to themselves repeatedly, and partners in each pair helped one another with filling in their evaluation forms, making it both a peer and self-evaluation task. After that, whenever I had a dialogue task in class, some pairs would automatically record themselves.</p>\n<p>Perhaps we all love self-evaluation, and that\'s why Trump went on and on (and on) the way he did in that press conference. For those who vilify Trump\'s inflated score, perhaps we might have got a better answer if the reporter had given him a clear rubric to guide his self-evaluation.</p>\n<p>If you want to find out more about the benefits of student self-evaluation in the classroom, I recommend looking at the following summary of the research. <br />Brown, G. T., &amp; Harris, L. R. (2013). Student self-assessment.

For many English teachers, especially foreign teachers, it\'s a job: a way to make money and keep their work visa current.','<p>The start of a new semester is a good time to ask ourselves, and more importantly our students, why study English?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>For most Thai students the answer is obvious: it\'s a requirement.  They have no choice.  They mechanically go to class everyday under the threat of discipline if they don\'t.  English is not easy so this isn\'t exactly something they would do voluntarily.  For many English teachers, especially foreign teachers, it\'s a job: a way to make money and keep their work visa current.</p>\n<p>Word on the street (Khao San Road in this case) is that teaching English is relatively easy and it lets you continue living in Thailand.   It\'s also one of the few jobs farrang can get here, so it\'s a no-brainer.&nbsp; But seriously, why should Thai kids learn English and why should we teach them English?  Unless we have cogent answers to these questions we risk letting ourselves and our students sink into 5 months of boredom and we\'ll start counting the weeks until the April break.</p>\n<p>Last semester I came up with a list of ten reasons why Thai students should study English.&nbsp; The top three reasons are worth mentioning now.  The full list is <a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\">on my website</a>.  I think this is something useful to tell your students in the first week of class, and maybe even something to tell yourself on a weekly basis.  The dialog goes something like the following.  You can add some theatrical emphasis where appropriate.</p>\n<p>\"Students, let me ask you: &nbsp;why do we study English?  English is not easy.  So why do we do it?\" (Expect blank stares at this point.  They will sense something is out of the ordinary.)</p>\n<p>\"I will tell you three reasons why you should study English.\"</p>\n<h3>Pride</h3>\n<p>\"Reason number three: You should study English to make your family proud.&nbsp; Your parents and grandparents will be proud of you if you can speak English.  Your younger brothers and sisters will look up to you. Everyone you meet for the rest of your life will have more respect for you if you can speak English.  Your teachers, your friends, the monks, people at the market, people at the bank, taxi drivers, farmers, everyone in your village will respect you.  And you will be proud of yourself for learning a difficult language.  If you can speak English everyone will think you are an educated person.</p>\n<h3>Profit</h3>\n<p>\"Reason number two:  You should study English so you can make more money.  For any job you have, for the rest of your life, you can make more money if you can speak English.&nbsp; If you\'re a taxi driver you will be able to talk to farrang.   If you\'re a farmer you can read the label on a bag of fertilizer.  English can help you get a job at a bank or a hotel or a hospital.  English can help you become a manager at a factory.  You can make more money if you can speak English.\" (Pause for dramatic effect.)</p>\n<h3>Patriotism</h3>\n<p>\"But now I will tell you the number one reason to study English: to make Thailand strong.  If you love Thailand, you should learn how to speak English.  We live in the 21st century.  Thailand needs high technology to compete with other countries.  There are strong countries all around us:  South Korea is modern country.  Samsung is in South Korea.  Japan is a world leader in high technology.  Toyota, Honda, Kawazaki, Yamaha, are all Japanese companies.</p>\n<p>Singapore is number one in the whole world for education.  China is a super-power with nuclear weapons and an active space program.  Even Viet Nam and Laos are getting stronger every year.  Where is Thailand?  Where is the Thai space program?&nbsp; Where is Thai education?  Thailand 4.0 needs smart students.  Thailand needs more people who can speak English.\"</p>\n<p>By now your students will be giving you their full attention.  Raise your voice and glare menacingly while you repeat the punch line.</p>\n<p>\"This is why we study English.  We study English to make Thailand strong.\"</p>\n<h3>Proud to teach</h3>\n<p>There are similar reasons why anyone who teaches English in Thailand should be proud of what they\'re doing.  Many of us had high-paying jobs back home, often in IT where we were paid $50 - $100 per hour.  Many of us are world travelers with a sense of adventure.  Our perspectives are global.  By comparison, teaching basic English to a bunch of unruly Thai students can seem disappointing, not worthy of our skills or our intelligence.</p>\n<p>By teaching English we\'re paying off our debt to the strange and magical country that\'s allowed us to stay here.  We\'re helping the people who\'ve welcomed us into their homes and in some cases their bedrooms.  By teaching English we\'re no longer tourists.  By teaching English we\'re doing something noble, something that our family and friends back home will respect.</p>\n<h3>Back home you were just a number</h3>\n<p>For some of us, myself included, every hour spent teaching English in a stuffy classroom is one of the few hours in our lives where we\'re building something with enduring value.  If you\'ve ever worked for a computer company you know that you can work your butt off, write the best code, design the best component, lead the most productive team, and in two years no one will remember your name.  Your accomplishments will be obsolete in the next version.</p>\n<p>You could be laid off simply because your stock underperformed and missed shareholders\' expectations.  Working for the computer industry is like building castles in the sand.  When you teach English you are building something with enduring value.  Even if it\'s only 10% of your students, you are making someone smarter.  You are improving their lives and their country.</p>\n<p>This is why we teach English.  We teach English to make Thailand strong.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong><strong><a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\">California Accent</a></strong></strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>offers free training materials (courseware) which can be used to teach English to Thai students.

The only area north of Bangkok that I\'ve really been to is Chiang Mai (and only for a few days), so I figured it was high time I experienced what the rest of Northern Thailand is all about.','<p>After my trip to the UK this past summer when my sister and I hired a little stick-shift Fiat Panda and explored the Welsh countryside for a week (best time I\'ve had since we did that in Italy years before), I decided that it\'s a bit ridiculous that I haven\'t done something similar here in Thailand, especially now that I have a car.</p>\n<p>Typically, my style is to just get in the car and wander around with little or no preparation beforehand, as spontaneous travel [to me] yields the most authentic experiences of a new place. Sorry, guide-book readers, but I\'m just not interested.</p>\n<p>When travelling with my like-minded sister, this isn\'t an option. We\'ll just go wherever we feel like (often just following signs to funny-named places or if using a map, going wherever the green is), and hope to get lucky and find a bed and breakfast or something in that area. Cheap this style of travel is not, but hey, that\'s what credit cards are for.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Sam04.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>For this trip though, I was travelling with my lovely Thai lady and she\'s less appreciative of spontaneity; as such, I actually planned all of the hotels we\'d stay in, but still left the rest to chance.&nbsp; Three cheers for Booking.com; let\'s just say we aren\'t 20-year-old backpackers anymore and although luxury isn\'t necessary, a fan-room in some scary Thai dungeon just doesn\'t cut it anymore. What\'s the point in travelling if you can\'t enjoy yourself a little along the way, eh?</p>\n<p>Inspired by Phil\'s <a href=\"https://ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/go-and-see-nan-province.-im-begging-you\">excellent blog</a> here on ajarn.com a few months ago, I decided we had to go to Nan Province.</p>\n<p>The only area north of Bangkok that I\'ve really been to is Chiang Mai (and only for a few days), so I figured it was high time I experienced what the rest of Northern Thailand is all about. Sure I\'ve been to parts of Issan and other areas for various reasons (work, visa runs, etc.), but I\'ve never really experienced it, and figured a road trip was the best way to accomplish that. All things considered, a 2,200+ kilometers drive later, I\'d have to say I was right.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Sam02.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I won\'t bore you with the details of these places, as they\'ve been travel-blogged to death but we made several stops towards our prioritized destination (which just like Phil a few months back, was Doi Phu Kha National Park in Nan Province). We stayed a night in the mountains outside of Phitsanulok (lovely mountains and streams but not such a lovely town), Sukothai, the capital before Ayutthaya and a pleasant surprise (it was a truly impressive place for history buffs like myself), Phrae (incredible views en route to Nan), and Nan (the town itself, then the area around Doi Phu Kha).</p>\n<p>Nan Province is truly beautiful, although I\'m not sure it\'s quite Wales (and definitely not Switzerland) on a sunny day. But if I wasn\'t a beach person, I could see myself living there.</p>\n<p>I had hoped the weather would be nicer. The third week in October should bring cooler weather but alas, it was just as hot as Bangkok everywhere except the very upper reaches of the mountains we drove around. I\'m not sure my little low-horsepower LPG car will ever forgive me.</p>\n<p>After a few days around Nan, we then made the surprisingly long drive to Chiang Mai (it honestly didn\'t look that far on the map!) to give it a few days of proper attention before the long trip back to Bangkok (with a stop at Bumibhol Dam in Tak Province, which was a cool find).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Sam01.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I will say this though - after Nan, Chiang Mai - although certainly having beautiful areas - was a bit anticlimactic. Call me Scrooge, and I\'m sure travel fatigue after five days of driving/seeing at that point played a part, but the city itself just felt like a large version of Khao San Road (Bangkok; read touristy for the sake of being touristy). Surrounding areas though were extremely pretty.</p>\n<p>Our objective here wasn\'t to see the cities/tourist attractions so much as to enjoy the scenery and random gems around the areas we went to and have some welcome coffees on the way. A road trip with no particular agenda you might say.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Sam03.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Along the way, we encountered no shortage of beautiful vistas (well, once we got north of the hell holes that are Saraburi, Chi Nat and other provinces in the area anyway) There were of course cute coffee shops a-plenty and - wait for it - temple upon temple upon temple. I daresay Thailand has as many temples per capita as Italy has churches.</p>\n<p>I\'m sure a road trip would be less doable if you don\'t have Thai skills or a Thai partner to help translate. Many places we went were stare-at-the-foreigner kind of places but honestly, I was impressed [for the most part] with the quality of the roads and availability of petrol/LPG/etc, and the whole trip, staying in decent \"resorts\" (ha, Thailand) and paying absolutely no mind to money whatsoever, only set us back maybe 25,000 baht (about $750).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Sam05.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I\'m sure you could do the same trip on a quarter of that but it was a nice escape. Even in the rice paddies of Nan, there was real coffee with imported Italian espresso machines...and wi-fi. Thailand as a third-world country is truly a vision of the past.</p>\n<p>All things considered, I\'m glad we made the week-long trip and Thailand certainly has plenty of cool stuff to see (as well as-let\'s be honest-some utter crap as with anywhere else). The history of the northern provinces is interesting (for us history buffs), and the random little cafes and viewpoints are always fun to find and a nice reprieve from life in Bangkok.</p>\n<p>Perhaps most importantly though, I now won\'t feel bad next time I have a week off...and go to the beach instead.</p>','','2017-11-08 07:22:03',1,'2017-11-08 07:22:03','2017-11-08 21:09:04'),(32119,10,'A long weekend in Ranong','a-long-weekend-in-ranong','My first trip south for many a long year','Wikitravel describes Ranong City itself as \"a small border city with limited tourist interest and hence still quaintly Thai.

Perhaps I had spent too much time dicking around in the now seriously crappy Hua Hin but I needed to get out and see more.</p>\n<p>So once again I asked my wife to don her organiser\'s hat and sort us out &lsquo;somewhere nice\' for a four-day trip. Ranong was next up on her hit list. Southern Thailand here we come!</p>\n<p>A quick look at Wikipedia then.</p>\n<p>Ranong Province is on an isthmus (remember your geography lessons, folks) connecting Thailand with the Malay Peninsula. It\'s the least populated of all Thailand\'s provinces, in fact 80% of it is covered in forest. It\'s also known as one of the wettest provinces in Thailand. It can piddle down for eight months a year in what must feel to the locals like a never-ending rainy season. I\'d better take me mac.</p>\n<p>Wikitravel describes Ranong City itself as \"a small border city with limited tourist interest and hence still quaintly Thai. Border access via boat to Kawthoung in Myanmar makes Ranong a popular visa run destination\"</p>\n<p>If &lsquo;limited tourist activity\' translates as the probability of meeting very few Westerners, then I\'m in with bells on.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong01.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The flight to Ranong from Bangkok\'s Don Muang airport takes about 75 minutes and budget airline, Nok Air, flies the route several times a day. I\'m a big fan of Nok Air. I think they look after their passengers well but I\'m not sure who wants to be surrounded by so much yellow so early in the day.</p>\n<p>We opted for a 9.00 am departure and a barely quarter full aircraft. \"Ranong just isn\'t a popular destination for Thais\" my wife remarked, looking around at the rows of empty seats behind her.</p>\n<p>Ranong Airport looks like something from a 1970s book of architecture. It is completely devoid of any charm. There are no flowerbeds and no cute signage to take photos in front of. Even the solitary coffee shop was a grim place to linger. The airport is functional, rectangular and made of concrete. You collect your suitcase from the carousel and get out of there as fast as possible.</p>\n<p>We picked up our hire car in front of the airport terminal and drove the 25 kilometres into Ranong City along a scenic stretch of Route 4, often referred to as The Phetkasem Highway. The Phetkasem is 1,274 kilometres long and Thailand\'s longest highway (don\'t say I never teach you anything)</p>\n<p>The scenery en route to Ranong was pleasant albeit a little disappointing. To me it looked no different to Phetburi Province. I began to wonder if it had been necessary to venture this far south. Ranong Province - certainly at first glance - seemed to offer little more than Phetburi other than more litter dumped at the roadside. There sure was plenty of that!</p>\n<p>We hadn\'t got ten minutes from the airport before we hit a police roadblock. I guess with Ranong\'s close proximity to Myanmar and numerous Burmese sneaking over the border each and every day, the boys in brown have to keep a vigilant eye on things. But a quick glance at my wife\'s driving licence and ID card and we were on our way.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong02.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>For our accommodation, we had booked three nights at The Hidden Resort, a few kilometres from Ranong city centre and another darling of the Thai travel forums. I guess when a place has an average of five stars from almost a hundred Trip Advisor reviews, you know you are in for something special - and so it proved.</p>\n<p>We discovered that the brains behind the resort was a Thai gentleman with a passion for travel and design. We sadly never got to meet him, because I would have liked the opportunity to shake him firmly by the hand and congratulate him on one of the nicest places I\'ve ever stayed at in Thailand.</p>\n<p>His attention to detail was mind-blowing. The dozen or so bungalows, surrounded (and hidden) by fastidiously-tended plants and trees, were gorgeous. Even the fresh coffee maker in each room was an expensive job imported from abroad.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong03.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The Hidden Village\'s biggest attraction though is its food. The menu is quirky and imaginative and the on-site restaurant is so delightful, you instinctively want to eat all your meals there. Why schlep into town and eat at somewhere inferior? One morning we opted for the healthy breakfast option which included slices of toast with peanut butter and topped with banana slices and chia seeds. Each slice of banana looked as if it had been placed on the toast using a ruler and a set square.</p>\n<p>The staff got a ten out of ten as well. All of them clearly very well trained and immaculately turned out in quality cotton uniforms with the name of the resort across the shirt pocket. They obviously felt a great pride in working at what was surely Ranong\'s premium accommodation. We loved this place!</p>\n<p>But let\'s get back to our first day in Ranong. We dropped off our suitcases and hit the road, eager to have a mosey around Ranong City. There was also the added attraction of all those Muslim restaurants (this is the south after all) and their beef massumans, goat curries and freshly-made rotis. Something I rarely get the chance to eat in Bangkok and oh boy, do I love Muslim food.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong04.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We headed straight to what was arguably the most popular Muslim joint in town but despite being little after midday, three quarters of the entire menu was sold out. What did remain available looked as if it had been sitting around for hours and was served up almost stone cold.  We quickly learned that you had to get to Muslim restaurants early in the day if you wanted to beat the local Muslim population. By early afternoon, there was nothing left!</p>\n<p>We walked around Ranong City for an hour but couldn\'t warm to it at all. Wikipedia might well have described it as &lsquo;quaintly Thai\' but unfortunately this can also translate as &lsquo;dull as ditchwater\'</p>\n<p>My wife offered some interesting insight as to why Ranong City felt so underwhelming.</p>\n<p>\"Ranong City is just a stepping stone to somewhere else\" she said, \"Thai travellers carry on to explore the nearby islands. Foreigners might come here for a visa run and do an overnight stay - but that\'s about it\"</p>\n<p>Indeed, where were the cute, welcoming coffee shops and the souvenir shops selling local produce? (the area is famous for growing cashew nuts) It felt as if the whole city had just given up. It knew that tourists would only ever be the &lsquo;just passing through\' variety and accepted that that\'s the way it will always be.</p>\n<p>There were pockets of the city with the odd nice-looking restaurant but they appeared to be few and far between.</p>\n<p>We eventually found some places selling cashew nuts and a few other local delicacies but every foodstuff had just been poured into plain plastic bags and plonked on to rusting metal shelves in a dingy, airless shop-house.</p>\n<p>\"You know what Ranong needs?\" my wife said, \"a bloody good marketing manager. Someone to take a look at how they do things in the north of Thailand. The way the shops present and package their goods and the overall impressions and vibes that a city gives to its tourists and visitors. Ranong needs some serious help and guidance\"</p>\n<p>I couldn\'t have agreed with her more.</p>\n<p>But let\'s get a bit more positive. When my wife had researched and planned the trip, she had told me from the get-go that the gems and must-sees would all be in the outlying province and not in the city itself.  It was time to start ticking them off.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong05.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Backtracking up Route 4 towards the airport, we started with the excellent Punyaban Waterfall. Now I must confess that I\'ve traipsed through many a forest in Thailand to get to a waterfall that has been no more than an ambitious stream but Punyaban was a delight. You don\'t even need to traipse through forest either, the falls are right there at the side of the highway.</p>\n<p>To get close up and personal with the cascading waters, it\'s 50 baht for Thais and 100 baht for foreigners. However, once I had established my credentials in the local language, the kindly woman at the ticket hut wouldn\'t dream of charging me more than the Thai price. To be honest, I would have gladly paid a hundred because the waterfall was splendid and the fact we were virtually the only people there made things even better. We paddled in the waters, sat on the rocks and lingered for far longer than necessary but it was such a peaceful, idyllic spot, it was difficult to tear yourself away.</p>\n<p>No trip to an unfamiliar province in Thailand is ever complete without knocking off a couple of temples but we ambled around them more out of a sense of duty than anything else. Both temples were a bit on the ramshackle side and there were no novice monks around looking to practice their English (as there sometimes is) In fact, my lasting memory of the second temple will always be me almost stepping into a great big lump of dog shit. Thankfully my wonderful wife grabbed my arm and pushed me away in the nick of time.</p>\n<p>One thing that Ranong City is certainly famous for is its hot springs. And in the Raksa Warin district, there is a public bathing area, where for a small fee you can roll up your trousers and dangle your tootsies in the bubbling, steamy waters. Alas, with it being the day of the Loy Krathong festival, the public bathing area was closed for some reason. You couldn\'t even get through the barriers and drive a car down there. Never mind, we would come back another day.</p>\n<p>We ended the afternoon at another temple, where locals were busy making &lsquo;krathongs\' - mainly for children from the nearby primary school to purchase and then float on the river that ran alongside. The river was also teeming with fish and so to boost temple funds, you could buy bread and other stuff that fish love to scoff. So we bought some fish food from an elderly vendor who took delight in telling us that we were about to feed the only vegetarian fish in Thailand. Anyway, we bought into the story hook, line and sinker.</p>\n<p>We finished our first day in Ranong with a dip in The Hidden Resort\'s lovely swimming pool. Well, my wife did. I just sat at the side of the pool and looked after her handbag.</p>\n<p>I\'m a non-swimmer and I\'ll be a non-swimmer for whatever passes as the rest of my life. I have an unconquerable fear of water and that\'s just the way it is. At secondary school I was virtually the only boy in my year who couldn\'t swim. I faked a verruca on my foot for two years to get out of swimming classes and other kids used to jokingly call me &lsquo;The Man from Atlantis\'. The bastards!</p>\n<p>But it was never for want of trying. In the mid 1970s, a local newspaper, The Birmingham Evening Mail, implemented a campaign to teach every child in the city to swim. For the price of a bag of chips, you could sign up for a two-week course of swimming lessons under the watchful eye of professional instructors.</p>\n<p>And that\'s how ten goose-pimpled 12-year old kids came to be assembled in the shallow end at the decrepit Green Lane Swimming Baths for the first day of the programme. Within a few days, eight of the kids had progressed from non-swimmer to swan-diving off the top board. But I would always have Billy. Billy was a tiny little blonde-haired lad but more importantly, my partner in humiliation. Billy and I clung onto the sides of the swimming pool for dear life, begging the other boys not to splash us. But with a lot of coaxing and encouragement, Billy discovered something wonderful - he could actually float in water if he would just relax himself.</p>\n<p>That was it. By the end of the final day of the course, he was doing lengths up and down the pool like fucking Mark Spitz. Me? I was clinging to the side-railing and begging Billy not to splash me.</p>\n<p>So bearing all that in mind, I hope you\'ll forgive me for saying that I wasn\'t too thrilled about what lay ahead on our second day in Ranong. It would involve getting on a boat. And with that always comes the risk of going arse over tit into water. Very deep water at that.</p>\n<p>After breakfast, we made the hour-long drive to a boat pier on the shores of The Andaman Sea, where hopefully there would be a man with a long-tailed boat waiting for us. It\'s worth mentioning at this stage that the receptionist at The Hidden Resort had organised everything for us in advance - the accommodation, car rental and also the hire of a boat for the day.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong06.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Sure enough, our friendly local and boat were already at the pier. He pointed us in the direction of the guy who would be navigating us around a selection of the islands today. He was busy doing what looked like bailing water out of the vessel with a small plastic bucket. But I\'m sure there was a perfectly reasonable and logical explanation.</p>\n<p>The islands are undoubtedly Ranong\'s draw card. There are dozens of islands out there ranging from the largest and most commercial one (Koh Kayam) down to smaller islands that consist of nothing more than a small beach and a few benches and tables on which day-trippers can sit and enjoy a packed lunch.</p>\n<p>Most tour companies in the area seemed to promote day trips that took tourists to several of the smaller islands (Koh Kayam is a bit too far away). I had looked on various websites back home in Bangkok and all the tour companies charged around 3,900 baht a head. For that they would also throw in a bit of lunch, a few soft drinks perhaps and the use of snorkelling gear when the opportunity arose. So that\'s 7,800 baht for two people. Not cheap at all. So I think my wife did remarkably well to get the same kind of deal (minus the packed lunch which The Hidden Resort provided us with anyway) for 2,500 baht all in - for both of us!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong07.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>I have to say - fear of water aside - I thoroughly enjoyed the day. At risk of sounding clich&eacute;, it really was like stepping into the pages of a travel brochure. That contrast of colour between the gaily-coloured long-tailed boats, the turquoise blue sea and the white sandy beaches was really something to behold.</p>\n<p>I\'ll let the photos do the talking.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong08.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We ended up doing two islands - Koh Yippun and Koh Kham. We had planned to do a third island on the way back but our boatman didn\'t like the look of the tide and felt the island would be inaccessible. Either that or he wanted to get back for the football.</p>\n<p>Kho Kham was probably the nicer of the two islands we moored at if only because it offered an incredible view point that was well worth the tricky climb to get to it.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong09.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>For our third and final day in the province, the wife had organised what she called a &lsquo;bits and pieces\' day. A bit of this, a bit of that - and nothing in particular. Just the two of us out on the open road and exploring what else Ranong had to offer. It turned out to be quite a day.</p>\n<p>We drove firstly to the village of Bang Kaew, in the shadow of Mount Faa Chi. A mile drive up a winding road brings you to the top of the mountain and some panoramic views of The Kraburi River and surrounding forests. But what had really lured us to Bang Kaew was the war museum. During WWII, this whole area was a stronghold for Japanese troops with its own railway network built to transport ammunition during invasions of Burma. I\'m always up for a good war museum.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong10.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>After a pleasant coffee stop and a chat with a local villager, we headed on to the museum. First impressions were good with the outside area dominated by a huge, if very rusty, WWII Japanese locomotive. But you can imagine our disappointment upon seeing the museum building closed and heavily padlocked. It looked like it hadn\'t seen a visitor for donkey\'s years. We peered through crud-covered windows but the place was nothing but an empty shell. A faded sign on the door that read &lsquo;gone for lunch\' added a final insult to injury.</p>\n<p>The peace was broken by a group of teenagers arriving on motorcycles. They dismounted and immediately lit up cigarettes. Ah, the joys of the underage smoker looking for that special place to spark up away from parents\' prying eyes.</p>\n<p>Time for us to leave but later that day we did some Googling and discovered that a few years before, a local Thai historian, with a passion for all things war and military and obviously with a bit of spare cash, had approached the local authorities and offered to take over and renovate the museum. He simply had a dream to return the building to its past glories and become a place that visitors would flock to. The authorities turned the offer down. They simply weren\'t interested and so sadly, the doors of the museum remain closed and bolted. I thought it summed up Ranong perfectly. \"Who\'s interested in coming here? We are just a stepping stone to somewhere else\"</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong11.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Someone famously said &lsquo;travelling is always better in retrospect\' and looking back at the trip now, could the next place on the itinerary have been the highlight? - Rattanarangsarn Palace back in Ranong City. Don\'t miss this one! The original residence was built in 1890 for King Rama V during a royal visit. It has since been completely rebuilt from teak wood and serves as a wonderful place to spend an hour because thanks to its knowledgable guide (who I must say had all the time in the world for us) this is Thai history coming alive! They have kept the price of admission low and all are welcome. The fact that we were the only two visitors there on a cool and comfortable Sunday afternoon was frankly criminal.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong12.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Next stop was the Ngao Mangrove Forest Research Centre (quite a mouthful what?) and again there wasn\'t a living soul around. We parked up at the entrance and were just about to begin a hike into the forest when a little girl - she couldn\'t have been more than six years old - appeared from nowhere on a kiddy\'s bicycle and gestured towards a small wooden hut where she invited us to sign a visitors book. Perhaps this information would help the forest rangers identify us if we met with horrible deaths deep in the forest but for now the whole area looked like it was under the jurisdiction of a little girl on a pink bike. Oh, and her dog as well. You\'ve just got to love Thailand.</p>\n<p>I scanned several pages of names in the visitors book and it indicated we were the first visitors that day. Four people had come yesterday. Three people the day before that. Business was clearly booming. And that was a crying shame because as little as I know about the world of mangrove forest research (or even care for that matter) it was well worth a visit. The scarcity of visitors just added to the eerie atmosphere and the haunting silence. It was like being part of a Tim Burton movie set. You half expected one of the trees to come alive, wrap a branch around you, lift you up wholesale and with legs flailing, feed you into an enormous cakehole hidden somewhere within its trunk.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong13.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>By now the sun was beginning to set and when the sun is going down in Ranong and the temperature is at its coolest, there is only one place to be - and that\'s Bald Hill.</p>\n<p>Also known locally as Ghost Hill and Grass Hill, the area stands out amid the surrounding forestry because its completely devoid of trees. It looks more like a grassy pasture you might see in say, Switzerland than anywhere else.</p>\n<p>Bald Hill is an extremely popular place for families to come and enjoy a walk, have a picnic, buy an ice cream or fly a kite. It was great to see so many families chilling out and spending quality time with their kids in such a perfect environment. You\'ve got mountains all around, an impressive waterfall away in the middle distance and lots and lots of fresh air. I didn\'t see a single kid with their face buried in a smartphone. They were too busy having fun with kite-strings and marbles and playing with their dogs. It felt wholesome and heartwarming.</p>\n<p>I was so bowled over that I wanted to share the moment with my Mum and Dad so I thought what finer place than here to give them a Skype video call. And for the next ten minutes, the miles between us evaporated and they were there with me on Bald Hill, taking in the same views and watching the same children fly kites. I\'m constantly in awe at the wonders of modern technology. I truly am.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong14.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We drove back into Ranong City. My wife wanted to buy some souvenirs to take back for work colleagues and this usually means a flying visit to an OTOP outlet. Normally, OTOPs are relatively pleasant places to browse in despite the fact they have nothing you could possibly want and nothing you can\'t get back in Bangkok anyway.</p>\n<p>The OTOP in Ranong was ghastly. An elderly woman - presumably the proprietor -  jumped out of her chair the moment we walked in with a cry of &lsquo;customers!\' Well not exactly but business was clearly slow. I instinctively put a hand over my nose. It smelled like she was keeping a dead horse under the floorboards and it had been there some time. I lasted 27.4 seconds before making for the exit door, which is something of a record for me in an OTOP. I usually manage a full minute at least. Just enough time to burst in and shout \"do you have a small plastic tub of some disgustingly pungent foodstuff with a picture of an old woman on it? Oh thank God for that!\"</p>\n<p>Souvenirs purchased, we then noticed a hive of activity as the stallholders at the Ranong night market were setting up for the evening. When I first came to Thailand, night markets were exotic and unique, now I just find them dispiriting and virtually the same wherever you go. We walked around for ten minutes until we\'d seen enough mobile phone covers, 39 baht leather belts, spiderman pyjamas, lime green bath towels, cotton socks (5 pairs for hundred baht) and  dodgy music CDs to last us a lifetime.</p>\n<p>We had one final thing to do - to revisit the hot springs at Raksa Warin that had been closed to us on day one. We parked up next to the public bathing area and were surprised to see very few people taking advantage of the water wells. Despite it being our last evening in town, my wife was still in holiday mode and whilst she fancied a dip in a hot spring, she was looking for something a little more &lsquo;upmarket\' shall we say. We noticed a rather glamorous looking spa that offered a private hot spring experience in a VIP room for 300 baht. That\'ll do!</p>\n<p>We were hoping to share a private hot tub for two but the spa receptionist soon put the mockers on that idea. She pointed to a door on the left and another door on the right. \"Men go that way and women go that way\" she said. Oh well, we\'d come all this way. Let\'s give it a try.</p>\n<p>I was given a bath-towel with the texture of sandpaper and a pair of baggy blue shorts that I wasn\'t going to allow anywhere near my bare skin. The moment I walked through the door marked &lsquo;Men Only\' the spa\'s five-star facade vanished. I was alone in something that felt like a Chinatown bath-house.</p>\n<p>A woman led me to a private room and shut the door behind me. I took in the surroundings and felt like bursting into tears. Firstly, there was no air-conditioning so the whole room was sweaty.....and what on earth was that smell? A battered mosquito screen hung off a window. It certainly wasn\'t keeping the mosquitoes out. The floor and wall tiles had mould between them and in the middle of the room was a chipped enamel bath half-filled with hot water. There was no steam and bubbles in this joint. Any minute I anticipated a knock on the door and someone handing me a selection of ladies\' photos on a piece of laminated card. You know, that kind of card that\'s slightly sticky to the touch?</p>\n<p>I decided to write off the 300 baht and sneak out past the receptionist while her back was turned. And God knows what I might have caught off the baggy blue shorts. Let me just say this - if you are ever in Raksa Warin and fancy a hot spring, stick to the free public area.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/ranong15.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Final thoughts? Would I ever back to Ranong? The answer would have to be no. Although the province itself was scenic and enjoyable, we found Ranong City very ordinary. It was the Thai provincial town that you\'ve seen a hundred times before. Even though we were only there for three days, I don\'t feel there was enough left unseen to merit a second trip. Besides, there are so many other places to see. Thailand\'s a big country.</p>\n<p>I\'ll be the first to admit that I\'ve spent very little time in Southern Thailand, however, I have spent considerable time in the north.</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to get embroiled in some online argument over Southern Thailand versus Northern Thailand but for me there is something magical about the latter. Northern Thailand seems to have a character and style all of its own and I find the people great to talk to and easy to get along with.</p>\n<p>But I do want to see more of the South for sure.</p>','','2017-11-09 04:11:28',1,'2017-11-09 04:11:28','2017-11-09 22:10:29'),(32120,20,'Why I\'ve had enough of teaching in Thailand','why-ive-had-enough-of-teaching-in-thailand','It may work out for others - just not for me','It\'s not so much that I\'ve had enough of Thailand, it\'s just teaching really.

A bit of background info before I start.</p>\n<p>I moved to Bangkok at the tender, yet dangerous age of 22, I\'m now 26. I dropped out at the end of my second year of an electrical engineering apprenticeship in York, UK. Yes, I know that was a bad decision.</p>\n<p>I work full-time (Monday to Friday) at a school in central Bangkok and have an extra job on Tuesdays and Thursday evenings between 6pm and 8pm. The salary from the school is 43,000 baht a month and the other work brings between 9,000 - 12,000 baht a month depending on how many Tuesdays and Thursdays fall within the month.</p>\n<p>The money is good seeing as I just came over here and completed a 4-week TESOL course and jumped straight into the classroom. Anyway, time to give teaching in Thailand some well deserved abuse..</p>\n<h3>The daily grind</h3>\n<p>Starting work at 7.30am until 5.00pm everyday and doing 24 periods a week is a millimeter short of being shafted in the ring-piece by a 12 incher. Some would say it\'s 10 inches deep already. (please don\'t visualize that) So usually I have five lessons a day, with some days waiting up to three hours just to scan my thumb on the scan-in/out machine at 5.00 pm so I can go home. It drives me insane.</p>\n<p>I\'d say a good 90% of teachers at my school are women over the age of 50 and in addition, they have worked there 20 years or more. So nobody is open to change.</p>\n<p>They bitch and gossip more than Alan Sugar and Piers Morgan on Twitter, which is saying something.&nbsp; I would say a solid 100% of the time it\'s about me or the other foreign teachers getting paid double their salary, or how we get away with stuff, or why the English staff get a bigger budget on special days, or why we have little or no respect, or why we are trying to improve things (read that as \'interfering\')</p>\n<p>Need I go on? It just makes the daily grind of going to work much more dreadful. The fact is I have looked for other schools to work at but it\'s always been difficult to find a job with a big enough difference to merit pursuing a long-term career in teaching.</p>\n<h3>How I made my decision</h3>\n<p>When I moved to Thailand to try out teaching, I moved here with my best mate. We planned the whole thing together.&nbsp; However, he saw the light after eight months as a bit player in the teaching panto and decided more money could be earned elsewhere, while still maintaining a life in Thailand. He helped me make my decision.</p>\n<p>So I decided to put together my savings and basically invest &pound;10,000 in myself. I booked myself on to numerous courses, all of which are held in the UK and also a three-week course in Denmark to give myself a career in renewable energy (wind turbines to be precise).</p>\n<p>This kind of work is done on a rotation system ranging from two weeks on / two weeks off or three weeks to one week or five to two, etc</p>\n<p>The money is a decent sum too. The sector I want to work in is turbine blade repair, which on average brings in &pound;2,000 a week. Doing this will allow me to live here and work away from Thailand in a job that is far more up my street.</p>\n<h3>The desire is dead</h3>\n<p>Unfortunately blade repair is a seasonal job running from April to November. This leaves me with two options; firstly, pack up and do one back to England or secondly, drag myself to the end of the school year (a decent bonus from school comes with that too).</p>\n<p>I have decided to drag myself through to the year\'s end but my desire, effort and personality at school are all near non-existent. I don\'t let it show in the classroom, or at least I don\'t think I do, but knowing the end is so near is making everyday feel like a year.</p>\n<p>Thanks for reading.</p>\n<p>By the way. I\'m not dissing teaching in Thailand at all. It didn\'t work for me under my circumstances but many of my friends here have carved out a very successful teaching career and still really enjoy it.</p>\n<p>It just hasn\'t worked for me.</p>\n<p><strong>Eddie.</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/depressed2.jpg','2017-11-10 04:49:17',1,'2017-11-10 04:49:17','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32126,20,'What the Hell is Social Studies?','what-the-hell-is-social-studies','But actually you might enjoy teaching it?','My Thai co-teachers told me that social studies teachers in Thailand are scarce.

If the school can\'t find a farang teacher for the job, they need to hire a Thai teacher. Thai teachers would probably be more knowledgeable in some of the fields, but if their English isn\'t very good, it evens things out.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest, I got to witness one unsuitable candidate as well. This South African guy stayed with us a few days, but soon was asked to leave and never to return. He spent a lot of time moaning how he didn\'t know anything about Buddhism and how was he supposed to teach it. On top of that, he was rude to our eldest Thai teacher when she was only trying to offer her help. I think that was the final straw. Thank you and goodbye, Mr Saffa!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Don\'t let this anecdote to put you off, though. If you are not afraid of digging into new topics, you may have found your teaching niche in Thailand. &nbsp;That said, officially, I think you need you to be competent in at least one of the fields that social studies consists of; Buddhism (or religion), civics, geography or economics.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">But since social studies is a very broad concept, I think you would most likely have at least a few courses in this domain under your belt. My major at university was social politics which has a lot in common with sociology, and one of my minors was social anthropology. At least I ticked off the \"social\" part.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What\'s included?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In my home country, Finland, we actually haven\'t got a discipline called social studies. We do have history, economics, religion, civics and geography, but we tend to consider them as independent subjects, rather than falling under the same category. In Finland, you would be specialised in just one of these fields (or occasionally two, such as history and civics), if you teach at high school level.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps this is why it\'s hard to get social studies teachers in Thailand; you would have to be quite an expert to master all these fields. To reveal myself, I am not a well-rounded expert on all of the aforementioned. I wasn\'t actually sure what I signed up for when I decided to take the job, but my head of studies convinced me that it wouldn\'t be anything too difficult.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was right. I did manage to pull it through, though I\'m sure there would\'ve been room for improvement.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Buddhism</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This was probably my favorite subject to teach. I have always been very interested in different religions, and Buddhism definitely was no exception to that. I was happy to do some research online, to prepare the notes and lessons. I got to learn A LOT about Buddhism and hence, also about Thai culture.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Furthermore, Buddhism originates from Hinduism, so occasionally I was able to learn about yoga philosophy at the same time (it derives from Hinduism) and find similarities between the two. As you guessed, I\'m a yoga freak also.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was fascinated to hear chants in the ancient Pali language which is the \"mother tongue\" of Buddhism and in which the Buddhist Canon is written. It is beautiful! Hypnotic! Once again, we see the connection to modern-time \"ohm\" reciters (yogis, that is). Chanting and mantras are very important in yoga and they have a calming effect in general.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I quite often listen chanting or meditation music, if my day is hectic. It gives you balance, peace of mind and tranquility. This is by the way a tip to all of you teachers out there, *wink wink* (unless you are teaching sweet and innocent angel-like pupils, and don\'t need my advice. In which case you are obviously lying).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Moreover, now I know the important Buddhist days and what they stand for. Because I\'m quite inquisitive, I frequently bugged my Thai colleagues and students to know what they did on these Buddhist holy days. A typical answer was to go to the temple, burn candles or joss sticks there or help at the \"wat\". Meditation was also mentioned frequently, though, it seemed to be something the students did on a regular basis and not just on Buddha days.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Economics</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Errrmmm.. this was definitely my least favorite subject. I dreaded it beforehand. Luckily it went ok. A few times I didn\'t do such a good job with the phrases and explanations but I managed. I was also surprised how little the students knew about economics.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then again, the way of life here in Thailand is very different and I\'m sure that relates to fiscal policies and the mentality as well, when talking about money. In addition, I\'m not great with numbers, so I understand that this subject can be extra challenging to some, especially when you need to study it in English. I had a few bright ones but some of the students didn\'t even try to pass the exam.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Civics</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Civics was quite challenging because I didn\'t have a clue about the Thai society, in terms of the rules, regulations and law.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We had a civics book we based the lessons on and I tried to study it meticulously before making lesson plans. If I had any unclear issues, I would ask help from my Thai co-teachers. I also needed to filtrate the text somewhat, because what the book was telling me that often seemed to be quite far from the reality.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I learned that Thailand has a very complex set of laws for protecting the sick and vulnerable, but it is quite another matter how these things are dealt with, on a daily basis.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On paper, Thailand came across as a very modern, democratic nation that takes care of its citizens, and that these people would be able to voice their opinion, in which direction to steer the country. In reality, well... I guess we all know what to say about that.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With M6/18 students the topics were more challenging and perhaps close to sociology at times, such as group dynamics and social structure. I tried to make the distinction between left and right politics but... Dear me when I got to see their exam answers! To us, it\'s unfathomable how can they NOT know these things.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But is it only our Anglo-Saxon -centric mindset that is too sure of its grandiose? At least I get caught in that one every once in a while. Then you need to remind yourself that we are in Asia! This is NOT Europe nor part of the Western world. Many times they don\'t give a rat\'s ass how we do things in the West.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Geography</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, I didn\'t have time to teach geography before I left the school. Well, I was supposed to have a few lessons, but you all know how something else always comes up in the Thai education system. So no geography for me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I would\'ve loved to teach them about Europe and Africa and made a few kick-ass lesson plans, but these will dust in a table drawer and be forever forgotten, figuratively speaking.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>To sum it up,</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I want to encourage all of you to consider teaching social studies in Thailand. It\'s not as hard as you would think. Sure, you need to spend time researching so you know what you are talking about. But we all know that teachers can do anything, so I don\'t think it would be a problem ; )</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One more thing I\'d like to add is that a good co-teacher is necessary so you can make questions on Thai society and things you are unsure of. Luckily, my co-teachers were fantastic! Super friendly and understanding.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Their English wasn\'t the best but you just need to be patient and make enough questions to make sure you are on the same page.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Anna Paananen</strong></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Check out Anna\'s blog - <a href=\"http://hammockstories.blog/\">Hammock Stories</a> - for lots more articles on living and teaching in Thailand, etc</p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/brain1.gif','2018-07-19 17:54:00',1,'2017-11-13 17:54:46','2018-07-19 08:02:14'),(32131,101,'Expensive desk ornaments','expensive-desk-ornaments','Let\'s figure out how to fix the education system','I fully expect the majority of farang teachers to disagree with me and the approach I\'m advocating. If you don\'t want to participate, fine, go drink a Chang and reflect upon your superior knowledge.','<p>There are lots of problematic issues associated with old age.  One of the less serious but more annoying issues is that you tend to start of lot of one-way conversations with the phrase \"I remember...\"  I remember a nice old guy at the Berkeley Physics Department who once told me in a very serious tone of voice \"Don\'t get old\".  Sagely advice indeed.  He\'s dead now.</p>\n<h3>Unused and unloved</h3>\n<p>I remember when Sun workstations were the coolest computers in the world.  I helped Berkeley Physics get a grant from Sun for a couple dozen of their latest machines.  Sun workstations were described as personal supercomputers the size of a color TV set.  Back in the late 80\'s they were technological status symbols.  They had magical powers because they connected to each other through this thing called The Internet.  They took advantage of remote resources on other machines called \"servers\".  Wow.</p>\n<p>I eventually got a job at Sun Microsystems as a SysAdmin.  I remember someone there told me about another charitable grant Sun made to a research institute in Moscow as a way of getting a toe-hold in the Russian market.  Sun gave one of their top-of-the-line workstations to this prestigious institute with the expectation that it would be used for all sorts of cool projects.</p>\n<p>In return Sun hoped to get good PR collateral and a few glowing testimonials.  So a couple of months after the workstation was delivered a Sun Sales Rep visited this institute to see how their baby was being used.  As the story goes, he was shocked and bewildered to see the brand new machine sitting on the desk of one of the institute\'s administrators, unplugged and unconnected to the network.  It was just sitting there like an expensive desk ornament.</p>\n<p>So the sales rep asks the administrator the polite equivalent of \"WTF?\"  The administrator replied that it was very important for him to get respect from the scientists who worked for him.  It didn\'t need to be turned on - it\'s mere presence was enough to generate gossip throughout the entire Russian scientific community he worked in.  \"Did you hear about Sasha Koralof?  He has a Sun workstation!\"</p>\n<h3>\"We\'re superficial\"</h3>\n<p>Last Friday I was drinking beer with a couple of farrang teachers and we agreed that our role is similar to that superficial Sun workstation.  We\'re expensive desk ornaments.  We were hired so word will spread throughout the local community about the school with a valuable resource - native English speakers.</p>\n<p>Our mere presence enhances a school\'s reputation but that\'s about as far as it goes.  We\'re superficial.  We\'re non-functional.  We feel this way because the grades we assign to our students are trivialized.  It doesn\'t matter if we want to flunk a student because he or she will be promoted to the next grade anyway.</p>\n<p>We\'re not invited to participate in planning meetings.  The established Thai teachers and administrators would never think about asking our advice about curriculum.  (I\'m referring to public schools now; the situation may be different at the hundreds of private schools that have proliferated to meet the demand for quality education.)</p>\n<h3>What makes a good farang teacher?</h3>\n<p>Thai teachers are quite sure they know how to teach English even if they can\'t speak it very well.  Their idea of a \"good\" farrang English teacher is an older man who wears a jacket and tie, someone who speaks softly and politely.</p>\n<p>It\'s all about respect: men get more respect than women, older men get more respect than younger men, and well-dressed older men get the most respect of all.  The advice I would give to any new ESL teachers in Thailand is to dress nicely and don\'t make waves.  The Thai educational system, like most of Thailand\'s social institutions, is not a meritocracy, it\'s an oligarchy.</p>\n<p>Unlike that lonely Sun workstation, we farrang teachers are not \"unplugged and unconnected\".  We communicate with each other, while drinking beer on a hot Friday night and on the Internet through blogs like the one you\'re reading now.  Many of us have worked for companies where performance, not appearance, was rewarded.</p>\n<h3>Why are we frustrated?</h3>\n<p>Those of us with any sort of technological background are problem-solvers.  Many of us have degrees in education from English-speaking countries.  We\'re frustrated because the Thai educational system is badly broken and although we could be part of the solution we\'re being ignored.  Well, I for one am not willing to sit back and watch another generation of Thai school kids graduate with sub-standard educations.  I don\'t want to be part of a totally dysfunctional system.  Despite what I wrote in a previous blog, I want to fix things.  That\'s who I am, that\'s what I\'ve done my whole life.  I fix things.</p>\n<p>Over the last year I\'ve written an <a href=\"http://california-accent.com/eps.html \">entire set of courses</a> for teaching English at primary schools.  I\'ve focused on building vocabulary that can be used in routine conversations.  I\'m not a proponent of the \"just teach &lsquo;em some simple phrases\" strategy; I believe (and all the farrang teachers I\'ve talked to agree with me) that students need a solid base of vocabulary before they can engage in conversations.</p>\n<p>My approach is constructionistic but I reject all the educational strategies I\'ve read about, including the so-called reconstructionistic philosophy.  I plan to use the same general strategy used in Silicon Valley to build new products.  I saw that approach work time and time again and that\'s what I\'m familiar with.  I advocate an engineering-centric approach to education.</p>\n<p>Before I go any further I suspect I may have just kicked over a hornet\'s nest.  I remember a long time ago when I took a few classes in education I observed what I call the miasma of education.</p>\n<p>Briefly stated, it\'s the all too common phenomenon of N educators having N+1 opinions about how to educate.  Teachers are notoriously stubborn when it comes to the topic of teaching strategies.  I\'m surprised a group of more than three teachers can agree on anything, including where to go for lunch.</p>\n<p>Admittedly I\'m fulfilling that stereotype by disagreeing with everyone and going my own way.  Well, that\'s one of the advantages of teaching in Thailand.  I couldn\'t do this in the U.S. but out here in Isan no one\'s gonna care.</p>\n<h3>The master plan</h3>\n<p>The first step in the engineering development process is the product proposal.  Here\'s what I propose: let\'s develop a curriculum for teaching English that is demonstrably better than the current system.  In other words, let\'s put our heads together and figure out how to teach English.  We can ignore educational strategies for now but let\'s focus on the goal: making something that works.</p>\n<p>I\'ll capture this high-level goal in words over the next few weeks.  I\'ll present it to the ajarn.com community next month and solicit feedback.  I\'ll iterate the wording once or twice as needed, then call it \"version 1\" and move forward.  In Silicon Valley version 1 is not expected to be perfect, it\'s just has to work reasonably well so it can be used as a base to develop version 2.  This is called iterative development.  It works.</p>\n<p>The second step in the engineering development cycle is requirements gathering.  This is where I could use some help.  It\'s common knowledge in Silicon Valley that a diverse team of reasonably smart individuals is more effective than any one individual, even a genius.  Or even a sub-genius.  I\'ll assume the role of Requirements Analyst during this phase.</p>\n<h3>Your feedback welcome</h3>\n<p>I want to break this effort into two components: first, let\'s capture what\'s wrong with the current system.  Second, let\'s address each of those shortcomings with a proposed solution, or else decide to defer that feature until the next version.  So here\'s what I\'m asking: please send me your observations of what\'s wrong with the current Thai education system, specifically but not exclusively to teaching English.  Send your statement of the problem or problems to me at khun.mark.brown@gmail.com.</p>\n<p>I fully expect the majority of farrang teachers to disagree with me and the approach I\'m advocating.  This is normal behavior for a population of educators and is a manifestation of the miasma I referred to earlier.  \"It won\'t work.\"  \"You\'re a complete idiot.\"  \"They\'ll never listen.\"  \"You need to read this before you can do that.\"  \"It was tried before and failed.\"  I\'m not a complete idiot; I\'d like to think I\'m only a partial idiot.</p>\n<p>If you don\'t want to participate, fine, go drink a Chang and reflect upon your superior knowledge.  Think how smug you\'ll feel when the project fails!  However, if you want to do something other than drink and gripe, consider helping me at least describe the problem.</p>\n<p>If all that comes out of this effort is a reasonably complete problem statement that\'s still a step forward.  If you\'re a fixer, let\'s work together to fix this colossal problem.  I know how to proceed with the next few phases in the product development process.  I\'ll describe how to develop, test, and rollout a new product in subsequent blog articles.  I am not content to be an expensive desk ornament.  I\'m a fixer.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong><strong><a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\">California Accent</a></strong></strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>offers free training materials (courseware) which can be used to teach English to Thai students.

These games are not just a matter of filling time; they help re-engage a distracted class, they recycle vocabulary, get students using the language.','<p>There are some teachers who seem to be genetically designed for teaching children successfully. They enjoy cutting and coloring, make pretty child-friendly classroom material, create snappy songs at a moment\'s notice, and write awesome phonically grounded stories about smiling pumpkins. The children adore them.</p>\n<p>I like working with children, but it doesn\'t come easily. I have to prepare diligently before the class, and be actively flexible while the lesson unfolds. With teens and adults you can get activities going and coast a little while you monitor. Not so with the kids - they have boundless energy and demand constant attention. Full on, man!</p>\n<p>In almost every lesson with them, there is that dreaded moment that goes something like this: I\'m explaining new language/the steps of a new activity/the equivalence values of decimals and fraction, and there is a palpable loss of attention. The boys start chattering, the girls begin to fidget.</p>\n<p>Feeling the loss of focus, I am pulled towards a remonstration of sorts: \"Boys are you listening?\" It doesn\'t work, and a sense of hopelessness overwhelms me. I can analyze what\'s wrong - I\'m talking too much, I shouldn\'t explain, I\'m not asking enough questions, I haven\'t changed activities quickly enough.</p>\n<p>As an experienced teacher, I get that, and I can act on it. But new teachers are at a disadvantage because they can\'t so easily think on their feet, their repertoire is still limited, and their analysis of the situation is not yet intuitive.</p>\n<p>In our training program, we have a trainer dedicated to getting teachers ready for the demands of the young learners\' classroom. Meet Sunee: she loves cutting and coloring. If you don\'t like working with kids, come see her and she will help you see the light. She argues that despite the potential problems, teaching children is fun and rewarding. They are predictably motivated by curiosity and interaction, and learn easily through opportunities to \'do\' through games and play.</p>\n<p>A key word is \'game\'. Try saying it with a class of young learners, and see how they perk up. With a repertoire of \'fun\' activities that are easily executed, new teachers can more easily build a working relationship with their classes. These games are not just a matter of filling time; they help re-engage a distracted class, they recycle vocabulary, get students using the language.</p>\n<p>Sunee has a list of tried and tested &lsquo;go-to games\' that teachers can pick and choose from as the lesson develops to keep things on track. Not just any game will work, though. To be effective, a successful go-to game needs to fulfill three criteria.</p>\n<p>Firstly, because these games must be available at any moment during the lesson, go-to games need to be executed with minimal preparation.</p>\n<p>Secondly, the games need to be easy to explain, so less time is spent on instructions.</p>\n<p>Finally, go-to games should work in all conditions, and so are independent of factors such as class size or the learners\' level and age. It must also be adaptability enough to fit in at almost any point of the lesson: as a warm-up at the start of the lesson, as a transitions between tasks, or even as fillers when the teacher has run out of planned activities.</p>\n<p>Here, then, are Sunee\'s top ten go-to games that have been tested by various teachers, in numerous classes, and with multiple topics.</p>\n<p><strong>1)  HOT POTATO: </strong></p>\n<p>You need an object or flashcard to circulate from one learner to the next. The learners pass the object around until the teacher calls stop (or music stops). The learner with the object then stands and answers a question.</p>\n<p><strong>2) FRUIT SALAD:</strong></p>\n<p>You need flashcards with the target language (enough for each learner). Number the flashcards and the learners. Call out a number that matches one of the flashcards and the learners with that number jump up, call out the word and change places with other learners with the same number. If you call out &lsquo;fruit salad\' then all the learners jump up and change places.</p>\n<p><strong>3) PICTIONARY:</strong></p>\n<p>You need flashcards and four markers. Divide the class into four groups and choose one member from each group. Show the four learners a flashcard. They run up to the whiteboard and draw the picture shown. The first group to guess what is drawn gets a point for their team.</p>\n<p><strong>4) SLAP THE BOARD:</strong></p>\n<p>You need 4 fly-swatters and flashcards that match the target language. Divide the class into four groups and choose one member of each group. Each of these four learners get a fly-swatter. The teacher calls out a question that matches the flashcards on the board. The learners run and slap the correct flashcard. The first learner to answer correctly scores a point for their team.</p>\n<p><strong>5) WHERE\'S THE BALL?:</strong></p>\n<p>Let\'s say you have 10 words. You need 10 cups and a ping-pong ball. Place the flashcards on the board and number them from 1 to 10. Place the cups on a table and number them from 1 - 10 and have the learners close their eyes.  Hide the ping-pong ball under one of the cups. The learners open their eyes and guess the cup number where the ball is hidden. The learner who guesses correctly says the flashcard that matches the cup.</p>\n<p><strong>6) WHAT\'S MISSING?:</strong></p>\n<p>You need flashcards to match the target language. Place the flashcards on the board.  The learners close their eyes while a flashcard is removed and hidden. The learners open their eyes and call out which flashcard is missing.</p>\n<p><strong>7) BINGO:</strong></p>\n<p>You need an A5 page per pair of learners and your flashcards. The learners draw a grid of nine blocks and fill each block with a picture or word of the target language.   Shuffle and call out a random card. If the pair has the word to match your flashcard, then that block may be crossed. The first pair to cross out all their blocks are the &lsquo;winners\'.</p>\n<p><strong>8) CHARADES:</strong></p>\n<p>Divide the learners into small groups. One member of each group comes to the board,  looks at a flashcard and acts it out. The first group to guess what the learners are acting out score a point.</p>\n<p><strong>9) GO FISH!:</strong></p>\n<p>You need four small cards per learner and flashcards to match the target language. Place the flashcards on the board and the learners draw one word (or write) on each card. The learners walk around the class and ask their peers for a card matching one of their own. If the peer has a similar card, then the peer gives it to the friend, if not then they move to the next peer. The purpose of the game is to collect pairs for all their cards.</p>\n<p><strong>10) HOT SEAT:</strong></p>\n<p>One learner sits on a chair at the front of the class and faces the class. Place a flashcard on the board behind the learner. The class takes turns explaining what is on the flashcard without using that picture\'s name. The learner on the chair has to guess what the others are explaining.</p>\n<p>Sunee says, \"These games are a useful start for teachers to build on and refer to when they have to think on their feet or when their planning fails them.\" Once these games are working well, experiment with others and get your little ones class motivated and active!</p>\n<p><strong>Postscript: </strong></p>\n<p>For those of us not endowed with the genes needed to work with kids, there is hope. There are tips and tricks that actually do make teaching younger learners easier. Now, obviously teaching kids is not all just about games - I\'ll see if I can get her to share her thoughts with us on using triggers.

I just want to roll up in a ball and die.</p>\n<p>It &lsquo;s not the worst time of year to be a local hire in an international school, but it is not far off.   The staffroom is full of exciting plans of skiing in Japan or long breaks on tropical islands in expensive hotels.  There is talk of buffets and afternoon tea and staff parties - and I\'m wondering when they find the time to cut the grass or paint the bedroom.</p>\n<h3>An almost parallel universe</h3>\n<p>The school morning e-mails are full of 20% off promotions for staff at <em>really expensive</em> hotels that I can\'t afford, even after the discount, and then there\'s the \"donation\" to the Thai staff at school, Secret Santa, the social Christmas meals out on Sukhumvit - and I can see my wages diminishing rapidly.</p>\n<p>The second worst time of year is just before the summer holidays. The staffroom is buzzing full of free flights home and exotic travels to faraway lands.  Mine mainly consist of taking my daughter to school every day because the school she attends works on the Thai education calendar, not the British one.</p>\n<p>The absolute worst thing about working at an international school is having to listen to all the holiday recounts on the first week back and then attempt to make mine sound vaguely interesting.</p>\n<h3>The pecking order</h3>\n<p>I\'m a TEFLer in a PGCE world. I\'m very low down the hierarchy and I know it.  I get it and I understand it, but it is not just the wages that are dissimilar.</p>\n<p>The teachers on expat packages get premium health insurance (I get the same insurance as the gardeners). They get free flights home, (I\'m a \'local\', so get nothing). They get two free places for their children (my daughter isn\'t deemed important enough). They get a housing allowance that\'s three times the mortgage on my three-bedroom house in the suburbs of Bangkok.</p>\n<p>And that\'s just for single people! Teachers with partners who are not earning 100k+ a month receive a salary as well!</p>\n<h3>Me and the maids</h3>\n<p>I\'ve never felt more second class than when there was a Christmas Fair at work - 100 baht to enter and everything was hideously expensive. Who the fuck buys expensive jewellery and home furnishings at a school fair?!  I found myself in the back with the maids, searching through the \"second hand\" donations that were more expensive than most of the things I normally buy.</p>\n<p>It is not that the expat staff treat me any differently, it is more that they don\'t realise how bad the local hire package is.   It is embarrassing trying to explain why my daughter does not attend the school I work at while their children attend for free.   The expat teachers just assume we all get the same/similar benefits.  Or maybe it never occurs to them?</p>\n<h3>A dream lifestyle?</h3>\n<p>Many of the expat staff live in a bubble. They live, socialise and take holidays with the same people they work with.  They have maids, nannies, cooks and drivers that give them the freedom to enjoy Bangkok without the baggage that family and household chores brings.</p>\n<p>The amount of times I have turned up to a work social with a baby/toddler is unreal.  I get looks like there is some magical babysitter available to me at all times.  There isn\'t.  I work all day, I go home, clean the house, feed the dog, argue with the wife, and look after a toddler whilst they go to yoga and eat at a restaurant as the nanny/maid/whatever deals with the children.</p>\n<p>Don\'t get me wrong, the expat teachers work for the benefits, they really do.  12-hour days are not uncommon.  Working from home in the evenings and at the weekends is pretty much guaranteed.</p>\n<p>I\'m very jealous of the package they get but I don\'t think it is worth it.

Again, please send your feedback, corrections, and criticism to <em>khun.mark.brown@gmail.com</em>.  I\'ll maintain a more complete version of this list <a href=\"http://california-accent.com/augean-project.html\">on my website</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>1. Students in most classes have a very wide range of abilities</strong>, with high-performing students sitting next to low-performing students.  This makes it almost impossible to design curriculum or teach either group without short-changing the other.  The bright students become bored and the slower students stop trying.  One contributor estimates that total student participation is about 45%.  He also said \"There are students that are so advanced they belong two grades higher. They are not given the chance to be separated from their classmates for an English class.\"</p>\n<p><strong>2. Related to #1, students are promoted from one grade to the next</strong> even when they clearly should be held back or directed to remedial programs.  There is a tradition in Thai culture that all students must advance to the next grade regardless of their performance.  This means that low-performing students will be further mismatched with the curriculum in subsequent grades.  This effect is compounded each year until some students in M6 have similar performance to students in P6 or even lower.</p>\n<p><strong>3. Cheating is endemic</strong> throughout all levels of public education.  Students routinely cheat on all tests and exams.  This contaminates performance assessments which are vital to improving curriculum and determining remediation.</p>\n<p><strong>4. Discipline is a constant issue in almost all classes.</strong> This problem seems to get worse as students progress through the system, until by the time they\'re in high school they\'re almost impossible to control.  Students are often late for class.  They talk freely with each other and move around the classroom as if they were at a social function.  They use their cellphones or work do their homework from other classes.  This is very discouraging to all teachers and it\'s clearly detrimental to the minority of students who are well-behaved.</p>\n<p><strong>5. Foreign teachers feel like they are superficial </strong>and disconnected from the rest of their department.  They often complain that they were hired merely for appearances and serve only as \"window dressing\".  They are almost never solicited for input into curriculum.  They are often ignored by the other teachers.  Some of the perceived separation between Thai and foreign teachers may be a result of shyness or even embarrassment on the part of the Thai teachers, but in an English department this is not a viable excuse.</p>\n<p><strong>6. Related to #5, the overall scores or grades</strong> that foreign teachers assign to their students are discounted or even ignored by Thai teachers to assign grades at the end of each semester.  It\'s common for the grades given by foreign teachers to account for only 10% of students\' final grades.  This increases the perception of foreign teachers that they efforts are largely superficial.  Thai teachers assign grades based on cultural expectations rather than performance.</p>\n<p><strong>7. The Thai education system is not a meritocracy</strong>, it\'s an oligarchy.  Good teachers, even good Thai teachers, are not evaluated and rewarded for their accomplishments or the accomplishments of their students.  This is another factor which makes it very discouraging to work for a school in Thailand.  Professional advancement in the Thai education system seems to be based on certificates or degrees regardless of the effectiveness of a teacher\'s ability to teach.  The result is that Thai teachers work hard to get these degrees even by cheating or short-cutting their way through the program just so they can get the piece of paper which is needed to get a better salary.</p>\n<p><strong>8. The classrooms in many up-country schools are dirty and un-air-conditioned.</strong> The floors are filthy.  The widows are broken.  The desks and chairs are falling apart.  Maintenance and janitorial services are inadequate.  The classrooms are equipped with chalkboards instead of whiteboards.  These unpleasant working conditions contribute to a sense of working in a menial job.  The poor state of classroom facilities probably contributes to the general lack of respect on the part of the students.  Considering how much money the Thai government spends on education you would think they could afford air conditioners in all classrooms, even in rural areas.</p>\n<p><strong>9. There is a ridiculous number of holidays and extra-curricular activities</strong> which result in fewer productive teaching days.  These distractions include Buddhist holidays, sporting events, various competitive events, and all-day teacher meetings.  A substantial amount of effort and apparently money is directed to these activities which, although they may impart critical aspects of Thai culture, do very little to advance core academic achievements and disrupt the continuity of the curriculum.  Classes that meet in the first or last periods of the day are often cancelled due to competing activities.</p>\n<p><strong>10. Academic tests like ONET</strong> seemed to be used mainly as a way for schools to qualify for additional funding and have little impact on remediation for poor-performing students.  Test questions are often completely mismatched to the average student\'s abilities which results in them being disappointed and further disengaged from their future education. Even worse, some of the English language test questions contain grammatical errors or examples which don\'t make sense to a native speaker.  In addition to being a filter that determines which students can advance to college, performance tests should be used as a tool to identify students who should be enrolled in remedial programs.</p>\n<p><strong>11. There doesn\'t seem to be any standard curriculum.</strong> Foreign teachers aren\'t given any teaching materials and are allowed to select text books and develop teaching materials as they see fit.  Even Thai teachers are given huge freedom to do whatever they want in the classroom with little or no guidance from their department, let alone Thai educational organizations at the national level.  While this lack of standardization may be considered a blessing and foreign teachers take advantage of this, it\'s symptomatic of a disorganized system as a whole.</p>\n<p><strong>12. Textbooks used for teaching English</strong> are written by English authors and targeted for English children.  Books from Oxford Press are examples of this.  The covers and first page of have been translated into Thai but there isn\'t a single word of Thai in the entire rest of the book.  No attempt is made to translate English into Thai because that isn\'t necessary in England.  Examples and vocabulary are obviously England-centric.  Fruits, vegetables, and animals mentioned in these books don\'t occur naturally in Thailand.  Idioms and nursery rhymes are England-centric.<br />Here are some additional comments I received in response to my last blog article.  I\'ve made some minor edits.</p>\n<p><strong>13. Schools should put the students first.</strong> Not the teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>14. Most Thai teachers think the school is there for them,</strong> that they are the most important part of it. They\'re not!</p>\n<p><strong>15. Teach the students how to think,</strong> not just copy and follow the instructions.</p>\n<p><strong>16. School staff and above should listen to those with more experience</strong>, rather than saying \"I\'ve taught \'this\', in this way for many years, you can\'t show me a better way\".</p>\n<p><strong>17. If you\'re going to teach someone a subject,</strong> the teacher should have the basic knowledge of that subject.  I.e. the ability to speak English, if that\'s what you teach. You don\'t see an art teacher who can\'t draw, or a P.E teacher who can\'t run.</p>\n<p><strong>18. Forget complex grammar</strong> until you have some ability to speak and understand the language.</p>\n<p><strong>19. Teach the students how to talk</strong> with constant practice, increase vocabulary, and lots of praise, not criticism.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong><strong><a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\">California Accent</a></strong></strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>offers free training materials (courseware) which can be used to teach English to Thai students.

They were exceptional Thais not only because they were Christians, but also because they were so warm and friendly. I was made part of the family straight away','<p>I&nbsp;had wanted to volunteer in Thailand for a long time and when I finished my teaching contract in Rayong, I thought that it\'s now or never.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>My time in Rayong was challenging at times, and if you want, you can read more about <a href=\"http://hammockstories.blog/teaching-jobs-in-thailand/\">my time as a Social Studies teacher here</a>.</p>\n<p>I had heard through a friend about an orphanage located in Chumphon called Baan Eurphon and it seemed exactly the kind of place I was looking for. I could teach English, do some activities with the kids, such as yoga, muay thai&nbsp;or acrobatics and help in the kitchen.</p>\n<h3>The busy children\'s home</h3>\n<p>There are about 30 kids at Eurphon, ranging from toddlers to teenagers. A lovely Thai couple, P\'Nui (Mama) and P\'Nong (Papa), run the house. They were exceptional Thais not only because they were Christians, but also because they were so warm and friendly. I was made part of the family straight away, no questions asked. I was also in awe of their patient and gentle characters.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Can you imagine what it would be like living with 30 children almost 24/7? It is not quiet and uneventful, that\'s for sure. Papa\'s father also lived on the premises. A very sweet, old man but unfortunately, his memory isn\'t the greatest. At times, he was seen walking around the premises wearing just a towel. He had forgotten where the bathroom was. Sometimes he couldn\'t even remember where his bungalow was.</p>\n<h3>My worry about the girls</h3>\n<p>I was happy teaching English to two of the older girls who were homeschooled. I realised that there isn\'t actually too much schooling for them because of the hectic lifestyle there. These girls had taken the role of a big sister. I don\'t think the place would run without them, they did A LOT of work there. More than perhaps anyone else.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I got the impression that the girls worked more than the boys. I didn\'t ask about this or mention it but I found it a bit unfair. The stereotypical gender roles got a headstart, which I feel shouldn\'t happen at a children\'s home. However, we are in Thailand so I thought best not to mention it.</p>\n<p>It\'s not all negative though because this is what big sisters do. They look after their younger siblings. I\'m sure that these girls will be great mums and wives one day. They already know how to raise kids and run a household. The only thing I\'m a little bit worried about is that they are omitting themselves. At 15 years or so, they should be thinking about their future.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Now the English lessons that we did together were constantly interrupted when something around us demanded or \"demanded\" attention. The younger ones perhaps wanted food or were crying. Or at times there was just too much noise and hassle, there was no way you could concentrate. I needed to remind them of the importance of a good education, and that the English lessons were their time and investing in oneself.</p>\n<h3>Community help</h3>\n<p>What I also liked about Eurphon was that the villagers pitched in. Women helped with the children, cooking and cleaning, while the men perhaps helped in maintenance work or fetching hay for the horses. There was also a police station just around the corner and one of the policemen was a frequent visitor. He came talking to the kids about doing the right thing and disciplining them if they had been naughty.</p>\n<p>He was a good father figure and a role model to the boys. We also went running with the youngsters quite a lot and he joined us a few times. I have to reveal that this Finnish girl seems to be fitter than the Thai police officers, hehe.</p>\n<p>In the evening reflection period, everybody could voice their opinions and if there had been a dispute, it was all settled amicably.&nbsp;It felt like a big family, a bit crazy though, with big sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, in addition to Mum and Dad, of course. I\'m sure the children will have a wonderful support group or safety net, by the time they leave Eurphon. So many brothers and sisters!</p>\n<h3>But there comes a time when you feel you\'ve had enough...</h3>\n<p>I spent two weeks at Eurphon&nbsp;and really enjoyed my time there. Then again, towards the end of my stay, I was also ready to leave. The number of bugs and mozzies was just a bit too much. The little bloodsuckers were eating me alive! Well, almost... but I was scratching myself like crazy and I knew my legs would be scarred for life.</p>\n<p>Yes, I know, I know. It\'s terribly superficial but what can you do?! Then there was the mud, dampness, rains, kids demanding attention. I wanted to have a good sleep in my own bed, not having to worry about the monsoon which would attack my treehouse, all my stuff and keep me awake the whole night.</p>\n<h3>Bugs, bacteria and fungus</h3>\n<p>Oh yes, one more thing. I was sure that I would get sick there. The level of hygiene was pretty low by Western standards. We are in Thailand so I\'m used to it but living it 24/7 and not being able to do anything about it is another thing. Or how would you feel if the cooks never washed their hands, the same chopping boards were used to cut raw meat and vegetables, or the fact that 30 kids played outside, grabbing everything, being with the animals and definitely not washing their hands?</p>\n<p>And the same food from the previous night was eaten for breakfast. And it was NOT refrigerated in between. Very surprised that I didn\'t get a single bout of food poisoning because I tend to get them frequently in Thailand.</p>\n<p>On my second to last night, I got the flu. No surprise there. And when I finally got home, I noticed that I had developed ringworm on my feet. I know, it\'s gross. For those of you who don\'t know, ringworm is a fungal infection and spreads easily when it\'s wet and dirty. The kids\' legs were covered with ringworm. I really don\'t understand why they didn\'t treat them. When I realised that the children, in general, had ringworm and not bruises, I knew that it would be a small miracle if I didn\'t catch any.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Overall, I will go back</h3>\n<p>So how are you feeling now? Has this blog completely put you off the idea of volunteering? Or perhaps given you inspiration? I have to say that I miss some of the kids. I had a few favourites, though I know you are not supposed to be biased.</p>\n<p>I had a really good time at Eurphon when we did activities together and I was happy showing them some new things, for instance, some acrobatic tricks and cooking Finnish food. Some of the children were really smart and you could see the potential in them.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I know I will return to Eurphon at some point because the people there were just lovely and so welcoming. And it\'s relatively close to Koh Phangan, where I live, enabling shorter visits as well.

The elevator is American (by the sounds of her accent), <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r48KA2X2Rb4\">and what happens next</a> is a hilarious parody of our current relationship with modern technology.</p>\n<p>It\'s all fun and giggles, of course, but the parody is not too far from the truth: I\'m pretty sure we\'ve all come across instances of trouble along these lines, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osp4xvlLTkY\">like this guy and his GPS</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the science fiction movies of yesteryear, computers never had a problem understanding people. KITT had no problem with David Hasselhoff, and others like HAL9000 and the Ship\'s Computer (capital letters, I think) in Star Trek did just fine with everyone who spoke to them. Maybe we are still getting there, but as the Scotsmen video implies, some of the problem might lie with pronunciation.</p>\n<p>As a South African I\'ve had my fair share of trouble getting machines (and people, admittedly) to understand me. In Siri\'s early days, my American friends had little difficulty getting their phones to understand them, but she (?) really struggled with my South African accent. I sound quite clear to myself, but Siri just couldn\'t quite get what I was saying. For example, in an attempt to engage Siri in banter, I would say \"I want to hear a joke, Siri\" and she\'d transcribe something along the lines of:</p>\n<p>Or won\'t to he a joke, Siri.</p>\n<p>For those of you familiar with the exotic beauty of the South African accent, you\'ll get that Siri also had a lot of trouble with my rendition of \'ice-cream\', and my request for Eric Clapton\'s song \'In my father\'s eyes\' became something quite unwholesome.</p>\n<p>The embarrassment at not being understood by my phone, however, was shared by other non-Americans. Siri, listen to this New Zealander:</p>\n<p>He wint to git some fush and chups.</p>\n<p>As for the typical Australian invitation, Siri heard:</p>\n<p>Want to come random my place for Bobby on Sunday?</p>\n<p>Siri has since been taught to deal with South Africans (and some others), and now even has a South African Siri voice. Ya. In a way, it\'s a pity, because it was quite fun playing with Siri and seeing, visually, how easily I could be misunderstood. In fact, Siri\'s mis-transcription of my speech was instructive in terms of how non-South African listeners hear me.</p>\n<p>All of this has an interesting classroom application. How does the voice recognition technology do with our students\' pronunciation\'? Because of way the speech recognition technology diligently transcribes sounds, the virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant that students have in their phones offer an interesting way for students to get feedback on how they are pronouncing their words in English.</p>\n<p>For example, <a href=\"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0346251X15001980\">in one recent article</a>, Shannon McCrocklin from the University of Texas reports how she got her students to use the virtual assistants in their phones to monitor their speech for pronunciation issues. McCrocklin\'s focus was on using this technology to raise students\' autonomy, that is getting them to work on their pronunciation independently of the teacher.</p>\n<p>She got her students to say minimal pairs to the their phones. Minimal pairs are two words which are identical except in respect to a single sound, like ten-then or arrive-alive. In this study, McCrocklin had minimal pairs focusing on vowel differences, like teen-tin and heart-hot. The students also read sentences like \'Mr. Reed wants the paper by three\'.</p>\n<p>It\'s quite clever. Getting students to dictate these minimal pairs and sentences to their phones gave them useful feedback about their intelligibility, and what they sound like when they speak English.</p>\n<p>Try, for example, to get your students to ask their virtual assistant a question like \'Which writer wrote Westworld?\' or \'Can you add broccoli to my shopping list?\' like the guys do <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNx0huL9qsQ\">in this comparison video</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNx0huL9qsQ\"></a>It can be frustrating for the students when their speech isn\'t understood by the assistants, but the feedback is very helpful. As one student in McCrocklin\'s study reports, \'When I say a word, I think to myself it is right but in fact I am wrong\'.</p>\n<p>Anyone of us who has tried to study a tonal language will know this feeling well. In fact, these dictation functions are available in other languages as well so if you are studying Thai, see if the computer can understand you when you speak to it.</p>\n<p>Try saying, in Thai, \'The horse and the dog come\' (ม้าและหมามา) or \'New silk doesn\'t burn\' (ไหมใหม่ไม่ไหม้).

I\'ve been flying regularly for a few years now with Taiwan\'s EVA Air. At the time of writing, I am categorized as a &lsquo;silver status\' passenger. Or is it green status? Actually, I think I need to fly another 20,000 miles to achieve silver status. Or is it 30,000 miles? But when I am finally a silver status customer, I can then use the business lounge at Bangkok Airport for free. Actually, I\'m not entirely sure. Oh, what am I like?</p>\n<h3>It\'s in the genes</h3>\n<p>This is an annoying trait that I seem to have inherited from my father. If a process or system can\'t be mastered and learnt inside out within five minutes, then I lose patience and give up. And while air mile aficionados circumvent the globe in lie-flat business class beds for a pound and a song, I\'m still trying to fathom out if I have enough &lsquo;points\' for a teddy bear key-ring.</p>\n<p>But what\'s most annoying is that I know full well if you can be bothered to read the fine print and details, collecting air miles can secure you some incredible deals and save you a fortune. And this is why I hate myself. On the one occasion I <em>could </em>be bothered, my wife and I flew business class return to Hong Kong (with Emirates) for less than 2,000 baht each - plus a few air miles of course.</p>\n<p>Collecting coupons, carrying around customer loyalty cards and accumulating points have just never been my bag. It\'s always felt like too much hassle. Supermarket checkouts in Thailand are a prime example.</p>\n<p>\"Do you have a member card, Sir?\'</p>\n<p>\"No I don\'t. Just put my bunch of bananas and small jar of peanut butter in a plastic bag (the same plastic bag if you don\'t mind) take my money and then give me my change so I can f*** off home\"</p>\n<p>This is of course a world apart from the woman in front of me at the checkout queue. She\'s got four items in her shopping basket that come to only 275 baht but this is one shopper who\'s determined to squeeze every ounce of entitlement from the transaction. \"Yes, I do have a member card. Let me give you the convenient 12-digit number. What do you mean it doesn\'t work? Let me give it you again. And which of my ten credit cards should I pay with in order to get the most Happy Shopper points? Well, OK, maybe you could call the supervisor to check?</p>\n<p>And by this time, there\'s a mad foreigner behind her about to bounce a jar of peanut butter off her head with all the strength he can muster.</p>\n<p>It happened again to me today in Boots the Chemists, where I bought four bars of soap for 72 baht. \"You haven\'t got a Boots customer points card?\" said the shocked cashier.</p>\n<p>\"It\'s somewhere at home\" I lied.</p>\n<p>The cashier reached for what I could see was a rectangular piece of card with the words &lsquo;tourist discount\' printed on it. Fearing what was to follow would probably involve revealing personal information and having to put signatures and dates in ridiculously small spaces, I plonked the correct money on the counter and ran from the shop.</p>\n<p>I hate myself for being this person, I really do,  but I\'ve spent years and years searching for the answers to an easy life.</p>\n<p>My wife by and large has always had the same attitude. But she\'s changing. Oh boy, is she changing.</p>\n<h3>No one pays that price?</h3>\n<p>Several months ago, I was having a casual conversation with a Thai friend and we got on to the subject of movie theatre tickets. I hadn\'t taken the wife to see a film at the cinema for ages. We used to go every week but it became a habit we just got out of. That I guess, plus most of the films are pants these days!</p>\n<p>In complete contrast, my Thai friend takes his girlfriend to the movie theatre almost every week. I can\'t begin to imagine some of the rubbish they\'ve sat through!</p>\n<p>\"So how much is a movie theatre ticket these days?\" I enquired.</p>\n<p>\"The lowest price seats are about 180 baht\" he said \"but no one pays that price\"</p>\n<p>He\'d piqued my interest. \"What do you mean no one pays that price?\"</p>\n<p>\"Well, there are so many promotions and special deals these days\" he said,  \"You can download a movie app depending on which company owns the movie theatre and you receive a special ID number to quote to the ticket seller. That usually qualifies you for half price tickets at least. Or you can pay with a certain credit card and the size of the discount will depend on which bank issued the card and what their current promo deal is\"</p>\n<h3>Deals and promos all over</h3>\n<p>I didn\'t need to ask him how he gets to hear about all these wonderful deals because I see them everywhere. They are promoted on cardboard stands of all shapes and sizes, placed on the counters of every coffee shop, information desk and ticket booth you care to mention. I just don\'t pay any attention to them that\'s all.</p>\n<p>Whether it\'s a free soft drink at Dunkin Donuts or a membership upgrade at that swanky new gym, the special offers are only ever explained in Thai and I can\'t read Thai - so it always feels to me like a game that foreigners can\'t play. But there\'s no doubt that the Thais (and probably those who can read Thai script) are getting some amazing deals.</p>\n<p>Did my wife know that we were the only couple in Thailand who paid full price for movie tickets?</p>\n<p>\"Oh sure\" she offered without hesitation, \"everybody else takes advantage of the promo deals\"</p>\n<h3>In the mood for a movie</h3>\n<p>Fast forward to last weekend and lo and behold, I was in the mood to see a movie. We have a brand new cineplex on our doorstep that\'s been open since early 2017 but shamefully we had never been. A quick peruse of the cinema listings and now showing was the latest animation offering from The Walt Disney / Pixar Studios. Good reviews on the internet. I laughed at the trailer - &lsquo;Coco\' it is.</p>\n<p>\"Let\'s see how cheaply we can do this?\" said my wife, with a mischievous glint in her eye.</p>\n<p>On arrival at the movie theatre, we had an hour to kill before the film started. Whilst I amuse myself watching trailers on a giant TV screen in the foyer, my wife gets busy downloading apps to her smartphone. I watch out of the corner of my eye as she enters into conversation with the staff on the ticket counter and I amble over just as the ticket seller is checking a promo code on my wife\'s phone and printing off a couple of tickets.</p>\n<p>My wife\'s managed to buy a pair of &lsquo;deluxe\' seats - normally priced at 180 baht each - for just 70 baht. All thanks to a special offer from DTAC, her mobile network provider. That\'s 35 baht each for a couple of hours at the movies - an incredible saving of over 80%.</p>\n<p>But I got the feeling she wasn\'t done yet. She had spied another promo poster, this time with an offer from Krungsri Bank if you held a prime account credit card.</p>\n<h3>Who\'s top dog?</h3>\n<p>Nowadays, Thai banks are in fierce competition to attract what they call &lsquo;prime customers\'.  The amount varies from bank to bank, but if you have between one and three million baht to stash away in a savings account or to invest in mutual funds, etc, there are all sorts of juicy benefits to be had.</p>\n<p>According to my wife, the SCB Prime account is the cream of the crop. Benefits include use of the Thai Airways Royal Orchid Lounge at Bangkok Airport (if you book flights with Thai International) You can also get one free domestic return flight on TG once a year. And for the coffee lovers out there, free coffee at Starbucks once a month for a whole year.</p>\n<p>As my Dad would say - &lsquo;better than a kick up the arse\'</p>\n<p>Let\'s return to our afternoon at the pictures and of course what\'s a movie theatre experience without anything to eat or drink? But thanks to my wife\'s Krungsri Prime card, the yellow bank has done us proud. Admittedly the process took longer and at one stage there were four cinema staff gathered around my wife\'s phone - but mission accomplished! Here she comes now with a huge bucket of caramel popcorn and a monster-size 7-Up (the kind you see American people drink) And all absolutely free!</p>\n<p>So let\'s have a recap. Two deluxe seats, big popcorn, big drink. A grand total of 70 baht instead of the 550 baht+ that I would gladly have paid had I been in charge of operations.</p>\n<p>And that\'s probably why I am no longer in charge of operations.</p>\n<p>Oh, and the movie was great fun too!</p>','','2017-12-11 19:39:42',1,'2017-12-11 19:39:42','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32153,71,'Chasing the big bucks','chasing-the-big-bucks','The ongoing and exhausting search for a well-paid teaching job','I\'m just not making enough money to make it worth staying at my current posting.

I know what you\'re thinking - yes, yes, we\'ve heard it all before, blah blah blah, move away and shut up Sam.</p>\n<p>Anyway, I\'ve always heard of great money to be made in places like China, Japan, Korea and of course the supposedly lucrative Middle East, especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This&nbsp;<a href=\"/blogs/ajarn-guests/comparing-teaching-in-thailand-v-saudi-arabia\">Ajarn.com article</a> from a while back gave the impression that there are two things that grow on trees out that way - dates and money!</p>\n<p>I\'ve just about accepted the fact that one of those destinations will have to be my temporary home for a few years. The problem is that even though I\'ve been registered with several recruitment agencies (including the top international schools) and I have researched listings and vacancies extensively over the past few months, I just don\'t know where these supposedly high salaries are being offered. Where are those big bucks! It\'s definitely not at international schools, surprising as that may seem when compared to Thailand.</p>\n<h3>Mediocre packages</h3>\n<p>I was recently offered a position at one of the top IB schools in Dubai (International Baccalaureate, an international school programme), and although the benefits are decent and it\'s tax-free, the starting salary - even four steps up the scale - is a paltry US$3,200/month. With my extra jobs (yes, I still have more than one) I can make that sort of money in Bangkok!</p>\n<p>While I have found schools that will provide packages allowing after-tax/expense savings of up to about $30,000 a year (which is not bad at all) I\'ve also heard that working purely in the ESL field is where the money really is, but have yet to find anything that pays more than maybe $5,000/month (definitely not bad) but not nearly the $6 - 8,000 that other teachers claim can be earned in some places.</p>\n<p>Therein lies the biggest problem for the eternally job-hunting teacher: how much money is worth the hassle of a move to another country and starting all over again?</p>\n<h3>Any ideas?</h3>\n<p>To be able to live like a true expat in Thailand, it seems a temporary, short-term move away is the best alternative for someone like me who went about this whole expat thing backwards - but oh boy, is the ongoing search for a suitable teaching gig tiresome. I\'m certainly open to suggestions from any of you that have followed this route. Shoot me a line because I must just be looking in all the wrong places!</p>\n<p>In the interim, it\'s back to the drudgery of the search - and the dread of having to leave the Land of Smiles behind for a spell.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

','<p>A few weeks ago I wrote an article for this audience which listed <a href=\"/blogs/mark-brown/problems-with-the-thai-public-education-system\">more than thirteen problems</a> with the Thai education system.</p>\n<p>The reason I wrote that article was to ask for your contributions to the list, but beyond that my intention has always been to seek solutions to these problems.</p>\n<p>I described myself as a compulsive fixer.  Contrary to some of the negative comments I received, I don\'t want to simply criticize the Thai education system, nor am I suffering from the delusion that anyone in a position to implement any solutions would actually listen to advice from a foreign teacher.  I do however want to start addressing some of the problems that ESL teachers routinely face with the aim of actually fixing some of them at a grass-roots level.</p>\n<p>OK, so let\'s start with a big one: the lack of discipline in the classroom.  This was number four on my list.</p>\n<h3>A lack of discipline</h3>\n<p>Oddly enough, the august report compiled by <a href=\"http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0024/002457/245735E.pdf\">OECD and UNESCO</a> that Jack recommended, doesn\'t even mention lack of discipline as a problem but this issue really struck a nerve with several of the TSL teachers who responded to my earlier article.  That\'s why I facetiously refer to this as the 800lb gorilla sitting next to us that\'s conveniently ignored by administrators and Thai teachers.</p>\n<p>A near total lack of discipline in the classroom seems to be deeply ingrained in Thai culture.  So what if anything can we do?  Again, I don\'t want to simply complain about the obvious.  I\'m hereby urging you to contribute your suggestions, techniques, and observations about this serious problem.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>If we could make even a small dent in the magnitude of this problem, or even if we merely provide a thoughtful analysis of it, this could have lasting positive impact on the Thai education system.  Sometimes it\'s easier for outsiders to propose solutions to what seem to be intractable problems by virtue of their outside perspective.  Maybe we can see the forest as well as the trees.</p>\n<h3>\'Corporal punishment\'</h3>\n<p>Perhaps the most time-honored solution to a lack of discipline in the classroom is <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_corporal_punishment\">corporal punishment</a>.  The teacher or some delegated administrator can knock heads or paddle butts.&nbsp; We all know this works, at least to some degree, but it\'s a controversial and inelegant solution to say the least.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>When I was in junior high school the Vice Principal\'s main administrative function was to administer paddlings.  He had the physique of a linebacker and the mere threat of being issued one of the special red hall passes to his office was enough to terrify me and my fellow students.  All a teacher had to do was mention Coach Wilson\'s name and order was instantly restored in the classroom.</p>\n<p>He used custom-made wooden paddles from the wood-working class that were about 2 feet long with holes drilled in the face to add a little extra sting.  Operant conditioning is an amazing thing.  The mere sight of one of those red hall passes caused a fear reaction, so let\'s not dismiss this traditional approach - it works.</p>\n<h3>Thailand v The USA</h3>\n<p>I\'m not advocating physical punishment as a means of controlling students but I\'m unable to suggest a good alternative.  In the U.S. these days teachers aren\'t allowed to touch their students or they\'ll be sued by the student\'s parents in a heartbeat.</p>\n<p>Some people think this restraint has adversely impacted the entire U.S. educational system and the result has been chaos in the classroom.  We know the rules are different here in Thailand.  Thai teachers can and do use physical punishment on disruptive or misbehaving students.  But should we?  Maybe we could ask a burly Thai teacher to sit in the back of all classes and act as the \"bad cop\".</p>\n<p>Every Thai teacher I\'ve ever talked to has the same complaint.  They don\'t know how to control these little monsters either.  This problem causes a lot of stress and unnecessary burnout.  We feel like we\'re wasting our time trying to teach a bunch of juvenile delinquents.  In reality 10% of the students are actually well-behaved but the 40% that are out of control are disrupting the entire class, and by extension the entire Thai school system.  The problem seems to get worse in high school.  It\'s somewhat easier to control prattom students.</p>\n<h3>Driving a teacher to drink</h3>\n<p>On more than one occasion last semester when I was teaching at the local high school I walked out of classes because I wasn\'t able to control an unruly crowd of 35 teenagers.  I always put a lot of effort into preparing my lessons and I look forward to teaching, so when I\'m completely ignored it hurts.</p>\n<p>Sometimes it seemed like they were having a party and I was talking to the wind, so I simply stopped speaking and walked out of the room.  I did this to preserve my sanity and dignity, however this drastic (and frankly unprofessional) tactic only had a limited effect.  The students were somewhat better behaved the next time I met with them but only slightly.</p>\n<p>This caused a lot of stress for me and I always felt bad for hours afterwards.  On those days I would leave school as soon as possible, go home and have a drink to calm down.  I have a lot of respect for teachers, both Thai and farrang, who endure this day after day.</p>\n<h3>An easier life for now</h3>\n<p>This semester I\'ve stopped teaching high school and now I only teach part-time at a small primary school across the street from my house.  My decision to quit teaching high school was partially due to the discipline problem.</p>\n<p>Prattom students seem to be easier for me to control, or at least I don\'t get as mad at them as I would at the high school students.  I keep a small whistle on my keyring that I occasionally use to regain control over my P2 - P4 students.  For those of you who teach high school you might want to try the <a href=\"https://www.fox40world.com/index.cfm?pagePath=PRODUCTS/WHISTLES/Classic&amp;id=55982\">Fox 40 emergency whistle</a> which produces a high-pitched, ear-splitting 115db sound that can be heard up to half a mile away.</p>\n<p>Lack of discipline in the classroom also impacts other students, especially the quieter ones, mostly girls, who are well-behaved and actually want to learn English.  It breaks my heart to see little girls crying because they tried to write on the board but were forcibly pushed aside by other more aggressive students.  I saw this twice today which is why I\'m compelled to write this article.</p>\n<p>I don\'t know what happened but I saw one of my best students in P2 sitting in her chair, quietly crying.  There\'s another smart girl in P4 who gets bullied regularly and cries as a result.  On more than one occasion I\'ve seen students sustain minor injuries in class, including cuts and bruises.  Last week I saw a student with what looked like a stab wound from a pencil that was bleeding.</p>\n<p>So please tell me your ideas in the comments section for this article.  If you want to contact me directly my email address is khun.mark.brown@gmail.com.  It might be cathartic to share your horror stories as well as your success stories.

From this elevated position, the school was extremely impressive; each block had been painted in vivid colours, lending a real tropical feel to the establishment.</p>\n<p>As I looked directly towards the school gates I could see teachers arriving by car, scooter, and even bicycle. The students were also pouring through the entrance. Some seemed to be carrying bags of fruit and what appeared to be a variety of street food in see-through packages.</p>\n<p>There is no way that the UK school would allow their students to bring hot snacks into the school, but Thailand had a very relaxed attitude towards food. In fact, the whole country seemed to be obsessed with eating - if you became hungry, everything else came crashing to a halt.</p>\n<p>My line of sight was interrupted by a large flying insect, and I realised that I was actually stood directly below a large hornets\' nest. I moved away and almost tripped; the floor surface of the bridge was very uneven. A few students who were watching me chuckled, and I felt a little embarrassed as I moved back to the Language Building.</p>\n<p>By now it was almost 8 am and the door was wide open. I was surprised to see at least six teachers already sat at their desks. I smiled and said good morning to them, and a few replied but most seemed less than impressed.</p>\n<p>As I made my way to my seat, I heard a few Thai words being bandied about which I recognised immediately:</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Hua Lan (bald).\' <br />&lsquo;Uan (fat).\'<br />&lsquo;Dtee-ah (short).\'</p>\n<p>I was waiting for the complete set but &lsquo;Na-Kleet (ugly)\' didn\'t make it into the top three! I felt a little annoyed, but also wasn\'t really surprised, and replied to nobody in particular in my best Thai: &lsquo;Wow, I have never worked with such beautiful ladies, have I walked into a modelling building by mistake?\'&nbsp;</p>\n<p>To say that the throng of female teachers were a little gobsmacked is an understatement.</p>\n<p>They looked at each other, then at me, and the red cheeks told me all I needed to know I got back to unpacking my bag and started to take a closer look at my schedule for the day.</p>\n<p>I had about three hours of free periods, and then a lesson before lunch  The afternoon was also fairly free, just a lesson right at the end. Each lesson was 50 minutes long, and on other days I was teaching some classes back-to-back for over four hours  I wondered about the heat and also whether my material would be up to scratch</p>\n<p>I was given two books, one for M3 and one for M4. They were a full year of lessons, and I had been told to use this as a source for my own classroom teaching plans. I was a little surprised to learn that I\'d be writing and setting the exams for half-term and the end of term. The most important thing to remember was that &lsquo;No Student Can Fail!\' I use capitals because it was the reason why I had this job.</p>\n<p>My predecessor had other ideas, he had failed several students, seeming to think that an attendance record of 20% was enough reason for this. Of course, he was asked to rethink his final score for these miscreants and whilst he retained the moral high ground, the school simply asked him to find other employment arrangements.</p>\n<p>He considerately did this, but only after he\'d made the 2,000 mile round trip to extend his working visa, These visas are only good for one school, so the poor blighter would be making a repeat trip once he secured new employment.</p>\n<p>This was the message that was hammered home from day one: &lsquo;Foreign Teachers must do as they are told!\'</p>\n<p>Having spoken to other teachers over the last few months, mainly on the internet forums, I was under no illusion as to my new role:  Less educator, more entertainer.&nbsp; Thai students get bored easily and many of them will never even need to speak English once they leave the bosom of KPS - even those who major in English in university will seldom need to converse in the language.</p>\n<p>However, I was soon to learn that most of the Thai English language teachers could hardly string a sentence together.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong> was lucky enough to teach at a government school&nbsp;in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Her technique for getting the class\' attention is the object of the humor. <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-N3NcrYOz0\">Here\'s the first 20 seconds</a> in case you haven\'t heard it.</p>\n<h3>Maintaining order</h3>\n<p>The skit is funny, but as a teacher, listening to Sister Mary struggle to maintain order is vexing because it\'s something I admit to having experienced myself. Perhaps every teacher has.</p>\n<p>The reasons for the students\' lack of attention in Sister Mary\'s class is painfully obvious. I\'d like to say that in those classes where it\'s happened to me I wasn\'t being quite so obnoxiously boring. But for whatever reason, there have definitely been lessons where maintaining the students\' attention has been a real struggle.</p>\n<p>I have found this problem to be particularly common in lessons with young learners, who are more easily distracted than the older students, or at least less able to pretend to be interested.</p>\n<p>Now classroom management is a complex thing, and identifying the reasons for the students\' lack of attention is sometimes hard to do while things are descending into chaos. The real issue is what to do about it when it happens.</p>\n<p>As you may know, at Chichester College we have our own in-house specialist young-learners trainer who, conveniently, was able to share some insights on this. For those of you who know us, you\'ll have met Sunee and been blown away by her passion for working with the littler students.</p>\n<p>Has Sunee ever had this problem? I asked her.</p>\n<p>\"When I first arrived in Thailand, I was teaching a grade 2 class at a Catholic all girls\' school in a small town in the south. They were a swarming mass of girls who took no notice of me. Those first six months were probably the most taxing on my voice and my sanity in my 21 years of teaching. They just ignored me!\"</p>\n<p>Good, then. It happens to everyone, or at least everyone who is trying to make their lessons fun and engaging.</p>\n<h3>Triggers</h3>\n<p>If it is a common problem, there must be an easy solution. And there is! We call them classroom triggers, but you\'ll find lots of references to them on the internet as &lsquo;attention getters\'. The principle is simple: you have a phrase or command that your class recognises as a signal to be quiet or to focus on the teacher. Screaming &lsquo;SHUURRRUUUP\' like Sister Mary Elephant might do it, but there are easier ways.</p>\n<p>For a trigger to work, the students need to be taught to respond to it. So whatever your trigger is, it needs to be set up before you need it. Ideally, a trigger should demand a response from the students, and the response will serve to (re)focus students\' attention on the teacher.</p>\n<p>I have a sister who is a kindergarten teacher, and she says that when she needs to get the class\' attention she makes an animal sound which the students find funny, so they laugh, their attention is redirected (onto her), and she can go on with the lesson.</p>\n<p>So what kinds of things work as triggers? Screaming Shurrruuuup and making animal noises are two possibilities. Back to Sunee for some theoretical grounding.</p>\n<h3>Sunee\'s theory lesson</h3>\n<p>\"Triggers need to be quick, easy and playful to maintain a positive atmosphere in class. They must also involve the students in some way get get the best results. There are potentially four kinds of triggers that work in young-learners\' lessons:</p>\n<p><strong>1)      Sounds.</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>a)  	Whisper (and have the students whisper back)<br />b)  	A funny, new sound (like a bell, an app sound or an animal sound)<br />Sometimes you can let the students choose a trigger word or sound before the start of the lesson once they know how triggers work, and if they enjoy using them.<br /> <br /><strong>2)      A visual cue</strong></p>\n<p>a)  	A noise meter (like a speedometer on the board that shows noise levels)<br />b)  	A traffic light (green for talk, red for stop)<br /> <br /><strong>3)      Actions</strong></p>\n<p>a)  	One example is &lsquo;water and ice\' (water = the learners flow, ice= everyone freezes - the kids love this)<br />b)  	Clap a rhythm (and the children copy it)<br />c)  	Breathing exercises<br />e)  	Songs with their actions (like the &lsquo;This little finger\' song)<br />Songs are longer than most triggers, but they work with classes that are really zoned out, and they also help to break the lesson up for young learners who suffer from seat-fatigue.<br /> <br /><strong>4)      Call and respond</strong></p>\n<p>a)  	Call out a prompt and your learners answer with a choral response. For example:	<br /> Teacher: 	1, 2, 3 eyes on me<br />Students: 	1, 2 eyes on you<br />b)  	A countdown (with students calling the countdown with the teacher)<br />c)  	Everyone do as I do ( for example, \"hands up\" and everyone copies)</p>\n<p>To get triggers going in the class, find points in the lesson that most need to have students\' attention redirected, such as the commencement of feedback on a task, or instructions for a new activity. Start by using triggers at these points so the students see a reason for their use, then you can start using them more generally when you feel the class needs to be reined in.\"</p>\n<h3>Putting it into action</h3>\n<p>Thanks Sunee, you are a star. Back to me. It\'s important to remember that classes respond differently to triggers, so it\'s useful to have a variety and to rotate them as needed. Some classes respond really well to call-and-respond triggers, while others respond beautifully to a countdown. In one class I observed, the teacher used a jazz chant that the children liked, and all she needed to do was start the chant, and the children continued it from there - the stray attentions were then drawn into the chant as it gathered momentum. However, she told me that a parallel class she taught would not response to the chant at all.</p>\n<p>If you want to see these kinds of triggers in action, have a quick look at this cool (though staged) <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78eiLtQjmss\">presentation from Playworks</a>.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2018-01-17 18:01:54',1,'2018-01-17 18:01:54','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32186,4,'Powerball TEFL','powerball-tefl','Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous','As I lament the last 20 years of my life in and out of the TEFL industry, I can\'t help but wonder how I haven\'t completely lost my mind.

That doesn\'t sound right.  And it doesn\'t even feel right.  Let me try it again.)</p>\n<p>As I lament the last 20 years of my life in and out of the TEFL industry, (YES, that\'s it!), I can\'t help but wonder how I haven\'t completely lost my mind.  (Now that\'s far more realistic.)</p>\n<p>The 20-year mark is a source of shame in my family.  Ask one of my sisters what I do for a living and she may respond, \"he\'s a grave digger.\"  And in some ways, she\'s right.  It seems I\'ve been digging my own grave since 1997, my first-year teaching in Korea.</p>\n<h3>Shazam!</h3>\n<p>In August 2004, I was sitting in a beer bar in Bangkok listening to \"Mike\" from the UK.  He had just won the Powerball TEFL Lottery and he was grinning from ear to ear.  \"So, there I was in Koh Phi Phi just working on my tan and minding my own business when this guy walks over to me and offered me a job at his language school.  I never taught English in my life, but he said it doesn\'t matter.  Just keep the students happy, he said, and you\'ll do well.  And just like that, shazam!  I\'m an English teacher.  And just like that, shazam!  I\'m making 30,000 baht a month!\"</p>\n<p>Every word of that is true, except &lsquo;shazam.\'  (I like the word &lsquo;shazam.\')</p>\n<p>In 2002 I was applying for a teaching job in Korea.  The language school director called my home in Montreal and my step-mother answered.  (I wasn\'t home at the time.)  My step-mother inquired about what documents should be sent to him as part of the application process.  I just have one question, the director responded.  Is he handsome?</p>\n<p>Yes, that was the question!  Is he handsome?  Apparently, my Bachelor\'s Degree in Philosophy meant nothing.  How insulting!  People who have met me over the years are usually shocked at my uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt.  In fact, people have been calling me Brad (or Mr. Pitt) for many years.  I\'m often stopped on the streets of major world cities, surrounded by throngs of screaming young women asking for my autograph.  I\'ve grown used to it.</p>\n<p>Yes, he is, replied my step-mother.  And just like that, shazam!  I got the job.</p>\n<h3>Times have changed</h3>\n<p>Have things in the Powerball TEFL industry changed over the last 15-20 years?  It depends on who you ask, who you believe, and what you believe, or choose to believe.  I believe that the Powerball TEFL industry is the most corrupt, morally bankrupt, ethically challenged, and educationally-stunted industry in the universe.  But hey, maybe it\'s just me.</p>\n<p>True, many schools are now asking for criminal background checks, checking references, and making applicants authenticate their degrees and certificates, (things I didn\'t see 15-20 years ago), but it is still fairly easy to fake this or get around that.  With the right connections, many teachers never have to go through this process.</p>\n<p>The Powerball TEFL Lottery is still very much alive and well.  Schools still, by and large, settle for whoever they can get when all the Masters Degrees in Education and PhDs are sitting comfortably at their desks.  When I was scouting around for schools just last August, I was told by the assistant director at a school in Laos that the job didn\'t go to me because someone just happened to walk in the door at the exact time the director was looking for someone to fill a vacancy.  Sometimes the TEFL power balls fall in line to kiss you, and sometimes they don\'t.</p>\n<p>I can\'t help but wonder what can happen if any other sector in a free-market society chose their employees this way; where someone is hired just for winning the lottery or for simply being in the right place at the right time.  Take the medical profession.  Can you imagine some 24-year-old backpacking shmoo sitting on the beach minding his own business when suddenly the director of Good Luck Memorial Hospital happens to stroll by looking for doctors?</p>\n<p>\"So, there I was, just catching some rays on the beach when this guy from Good Luck Memorial Hospital strolls by and offers me a job.  Just like that!  But I don\'t have any experience, I say.  That\'s okay, he says.  We also have a 120-hour online course where you learn the latest techniques in brain surgery and liver transplants.  Okay, I say, and shazam!  I\'m a doctor.\"</p>\n<p>Needless to say, I would have some concern for heart-attack and stroke patients under his care.</p>\n<p>Take the airline industry.</p>\n<p>\"So, I just happened to walk into Fly Anywhere Airlines and the CEO says to me, Hey!  So glad you\'re here.  Just so happens we\'re looking for a pilot.  The other one we had just disappeared.  But I have no flying experience, I say.  No problem, he says.  We offer a 120-hour online course where we familiarize you with all the control panels.  Then we put you in a simulator where you can practice take-offs and landings.  Okay, I say, sounds great!  And, shazam!  I\'m a pilot.\"  I\'m thinking the lawsuits are the only things that will fly.</p>\n<p>\"So, I just happen to walk into Harry, Larry, and Barry\'s Law Office and Harry says to me...\"</p>\n<p>Okay, I\'ll stop now.  Yes, the Powerball TEFL industry is a joke.  In fact, it\'s a series of jokes.  And when the laughing stops, people suffer.  At the very least they get robbed.  Far too many parents are taken for their money, and too many students are robbed of a genuine and decent education.</p>\n<h3>The Chinese way</h3>\n<p>I\'m thinking about the school in China where I taught last year.  I would rather not think about it since it gives me a headache.  It was a K-12 boarding school on the outskirts of a major city.  The high school students were in class from 7:00 a.m. until 9:00, sometimes 9:30 p.m.  Eleven, sometimes twelve classes a day with a two hour and twenty-minute break for lunch.</p>\n<p>There I was, teaching for the TOEFL exam.  I loved most of the students, especially my grade 10 class, and still miss many of them.  But the management --- oh, don\'t get me started on that!  From the owner, a rich builder with absolutely no background in education or child psychology, to the principal, a marketer with absolutely no background in education or child psychology, to the Chinese teachers, many of them dedicated, but sycophantic yes - people too timid and fearful to stand up to a corrupt and morally bankrupt management.</p>\n<p>When four of my grade 11 students colluded to cheat on a TOEFL writing assignment, I brought them to the head teacher of the English department and asked to talk to their parents.  After being given excuses by the head teacher, (oh, but the parents live far from here.  And they are very busy...), I did meet with one of the parents.  I also let the principal know.  They were given the proverbial slap on the wrist and told not to do it again.</p>\n<p>On another occasion, I accused some of the Chinese teachers of helping their students cheat, and turn a blind eye when they do, when I noticed inconsistent markings on test papers I was correcting.  (Coincidently, I was never asked to correct test papers after that.  If any teacher out there is wondering how to get out of correcting essays, try this.)</p>\n<p>But the most remarkable thing that I have ever heard in my 20 years in this corrupt, morally bankrupt, ethically challenged, and horrific excuse for an industry, was at this school.  It was relayed to me by a colleague, a foreign teacher from the United States.  It was something the owner of the school told him, (the same owner and builder with absolutely no background in education or child psychology), a full three years before I arrived.  A little context here:</p>\n<p>We were preparing the grade 10 students for their monthly unit test.  I thought I was going to write the test for my grade 10 class, and I was looking forward to that.  But no!  Since I was in charge of the TOEFL writing part, all I had to do was come up with a TOEFL writing task that would match the unit in the English textbook.</p>\n<p>The English textbook had absolutely nothing to do with the TOEFL exam.  And to top it off, the book was way to difficult for at least 75 percent of the students; about 15-20 times above their ability to learn the English language gradually and in an engaging way.  A few of the students could not even speak a word of English, let alone be expected to write a 300-word essay using the rigid TOEFL writing structure.</p>\n<p>The book was chosen by the owner, (yes, the same owner with absolutely no background in education or child psychology.)  And to top it off again, this book was used 14 times a week!  Seven classes a week with a foreign teacher and seven classes a week with a Chinese teacher.  Many of these students &lsquo;tuned out\', or slept, or sat there in a catatonic state.  Why bother trying when the grades are predetermined?</p>\n<p>Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a Russian cognitive psychologist who studied \"how children learn new skills.  Vygotsky explained that children learn best, and are most motivated, when the material they\'re learning is just beyond the reach of their current abilities.  In the classroom context, this means the teacher guides them to clear the hurdle presented by the task, but not so heavy-handedly that they feel their existing skills weren\'t useful in reaching the task\'s solution.  Vygotsky called this the &lsquo;zone of proximal development.\'\" <em>(Adam Alter, \"Irresistible: Why you are addicted to technology and how to set yourself free.\" (Vintage books; London, England.  pp. 174-75.)</em></p>\n<p>In other words, learning in increments; learning a little bit at a time.  This is not just child psychology; it\'s common sense, something that many school owners, principals, and directors lack.</p>\n<p>When students learn this way, it\'s challenging and fun.  Good teachers know this.  It\'s unfortunate and incredible that the imbeciles running this school, and in so many other schools, have no inkling how students actually learn.  It\'s like the dumber you are, the higher you rise in the insane world of TEFL.</p>\n<p>Standing in the teacher\'s room that morning I was stunned.  Stupidity I expected, but this!?!?  I must have looked like an imbecile because the American teacher explained, \"Three years ago I wrote to the editors of the book.  I received an email from them saying that the book should not be used for 14 classes a week.  It is only supplementary ESL material.</p>\n<p>So, we had a meeting with the owner and the principal.  I told them what the editors told me.  I even showed them the email.  Nothing!  They wouldn\'t even listen to us.  Finally, I let my anger show.  This is ridiculous! I shouted.  And you know what the owner said?\"</p>\n<p>I shook my head no.  Then he told me.  In eight words.  It was an eight-word response from the owner that he would never forget.  And neither would I.  \"She said &lsquo;sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\'\"</p>\n<p>\"Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\"</p>\n<h3>\'Encapsulate\'</h3>\n<p>Those eight words completely encapsulate exactly what is wrong with the TEFL industry.  Those eight words perfectly summarize precisely why this industry is the most corrupt, morally bankrupt, ethically challenged, and socially irresponsible industry on the face of the earth.</p>\n<p>The people in charge would rather punish people, would rather see teachers suffer through their classes than treat them with respect, and educate the students properly.</p>\n<p>Have a meeting to discuss and come up with solutions to material that is way above the ability of the students?  Why do something that rational when they can just bang their heads against the same tree until all the coconuts fall.</p>\n<p>\"Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\"</p>\n<p>Engage the foreign teachers in discussions on how to stop cheating?  Hey, there are still some coconuts on the tree.</p>\n<p>\"Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\"</p>\n<p>Twelve classes a day.  Fourteen hours a day.

But I will paraphrase from what I remember reading.</p>\n<h3>An interesting point</h3>\n<p>Imagine if whole societies ran this way.  Imagine if the work place or free-market economies did this.  You wake up at 7:00 a.m. and go straight to your job at HR.  You do whatever it is you do at HR, then 45 minutes later a loud siren is heard throughout the city.  You drop what you\'re doing and run to the hospital to perform an appendectomy.  Then 45 minutes later a loud siren is heard throughout the city.  You drop what you\'re doing and go to the airport to do some air-traffic controlling.  Then 45 minutes later a loud siren is heard throughout the city.  You drop what you\'re doing and go to the closest supermarket to bag groceries.  Then 45 minutes later a loud siren is heard throughout the city.  You drop what you\'re doing and...</p>\n<p>My God, man!  The whole bloody world would collapse if this happened.  And yet, this is exactly how schools work; or don\'t work!  This is how we educate children, or don\'t educate children.</p>\n<p>How did we get to this point?  How did we screw up so badly?  We are the same species that put men on the moon.  We invented language, automobiles, computers, iPads, smart phones, and pop tarts. Pop tarts!  And toasters to put them in to make them hot and crispy.</p>\n<p>But we still have no idea how to properly educate children?  No idea how to find solutions to the problem of education?  Really?  And we sit around with our collective thumbs up our collective butts and wonder why many students do poorly.  The dumber you are, the higher you rise in the world of education.  Keep banging your head against the same tree until all the coconuts fall.</p>\n<p>\"Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\"</p>\n<p>I should say that the abysmal state of education is a worldwide problem, and not confined to the world of TEFL, or a few countries, or a particular continent.</p>\n<h3>Human behavior</h3>\n<p>The zone of proximal development, which Vygotsky talks about, is incredibly motivating for students.  Students don\'t just learn effectively and efficiently, they also enjoy it.</p>\n<p>In his 1990 book, Flow, about the \"psychic benefits of mastering a challenge,\" Hungarian psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, (pronounced, &lsquo;Chick-sent-me-high\'), \"noticed that many artists became deeply embedded in the business of making art --- so deeply that they allowed hours and hours to pass without feeling the need to eat or drink... they lost track of time.</p>\n<p>Some report a sense of profound joy or rapture; a rare, long-lasting euphoria that only seems to arise reliably in these rare situations characterized by challenges and the ability to just barely overcome those challenges.  (As Csikszentmihalyi acknowledged, flow has been a major part of many Eastern philosophies and religions for centuries.  His major contribution was to refine and translate the idea for a new audience.<em>\"Adam Alter, \"Irresistible: Why you are addicted to technology and how to set yourself free.\" (Vintage books; London, England.  p. 176.)</em></p>\n<p>Try to interrupt students experiencing this rapture and euphoria while they immerse themselves in a task they enjoy.  Try that experiment and see what happens.  You may run headlong into the &lsquo;Zeigarnik Effect.\'  Twentieth Century Lithuanian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik designed an experiment where she invited \"a group of adults into her lab to work on twenty different brief tasks.</p>\n<p>Some of these tasks were manual, like creating clay figurines and building boxes, and others were mental, like arithmetic sums and puzzles.  Zeigarnik allowed her participants to complete some of the tasks, but she interrupted them before they could complete others, and forced them to move on to the next task.  The subjects were loath to stop, and they sometimes objected quite strenuously.  Some were even angry, which showed how much tension Zeigarnik introduced with her interruptions.  At the end of the experiment, she asked them to remember as many of the tasks as they could.</p>\n<p>The results were striking.  Her participants recalled about twice as many unfinished tasks as they did finished ones.  Zeigarnik summarized her results: &lsquo;When the subject sets out to perform the operations required by one of these tasks there develops within him a quasi-need for completion of the task.  This is like the occurrence of a tension system which tends towards resolution.  Completing the task means resolving the tension system, or discharging the quasi-need.  If a task is not completed, a state of tension remains and the quasi-need is unstilled.\'\" <em>(Adam Alter, \"Irresistible: Why you are addicted to technology and how to set yourself free.\" (Vintage books; London, England.  pp. 193-94)</em></p>\n<p>So, what is the &lsquo;Zeigarnik Effect?\'  \"Incomplete experiences occupy our minds far more than completed ones.\"  (Ibid.  p. 194.)</p>\n<p>The next time you\'re at a job interview, dear teachers, and some idiot interviewer asks this idiotic question, \"So tell me, how do you motivate your students?\", point this out.  Quote Vygotsky and Csikszentmihalyi.  Then inquire about the material they\'re using to bore the students to death.  Throw the &lsquo;Zeigarnik Effect\' at them. You probably won\'t get the job, (nobody likes a smartass, especially an arrogant smartass), but it\'s always fun seeing the moronic looks on their faces from an answer they didn\'t expect.</p>\n<p>There is no law which states that students must drop whatever they\'re doing every 45 or 50 minutes so that they can mindlessly move on to something else.  There is no rule which states that 30 or 40 or 50 children of different abilities, different moods, and different life experiences must sit in the same room, wear the same clothes, read the same book, be on the same page, answer the same questions, have the same answer to the same questions, have the same opinion, eat the same food, and have their bladders function at precisely the same time.</p>\n<p>If there is a rule like that, it was put in place, and kept in place, by evil, sick, and psychologically-twisted people who take sadistic pleasure in watching other people suffer.</p>\n<h3>Health scare</h3>\n<p>I don\'t need this anymore; this stress, this aggravation, this stupidity.  I\'m 58 years old and I\'m still recovering.  I have money in the bank.  I have books to read.  I don\'t need this.  What am I recovering from?  Oh, thank you for asking.</p>\n<p>Last August 2017, I awoke with a headache and severe double vision in my right eye.  I went to the hospital.  All sorts of tests were taken.  I saw an ophthalmologist.  I was diagnosed with &lsquo;Sixth Cranial Nerve Palsy.\'  The muscles around my right eye collapsed, and so did my right eye!</p>\n<p>\"Your eye is fine\" the doctor said.</p>\n<p>\"Oh, that\'s good\" I said relieved.</p>\n<p>\"It\'s your brain.  Something wrong in your brain.\"</p>\n<p>\"Well gee!  Thanks doc.\"  Who said Thai doctors aren\'t direct?  I asked what it could be.</p>\n<p>\"We don\'t know yet.  Could be cancer.  Could be brain tumor.  You need CT scan.  Then we know.\"  Just what I needed, more directness.</p>\n<p>Two mornings later I went back for the CT scan.  For two days I thought I had cancer.  For two long days I thought I could have a brain tumor.  What will I tell my family?  Here I am in Thailand, alone and loving it.  And now this.  That same evening, I went back for the results.</p>\n<p>\"Good news!\" the doctor beamed.</p>\n<p>\"Oh?\"</p>\n<p>\"You had a stroke.  A minor stroke.\"</p>\n<p>That\'s good news?  I would hate to hear the bad news.  A damaged cranial nerve.  But I guess it\'s better than cancer or a brain tumor.  So now the recovery begins.  \"How long will it take to recover?\" I asked the good doctor.</p>\n<p>\"Six months\"</p>\n<p>Six months?!?!?!</p>\n<p>\"You need to lose weight.  You need to change your diet.  More fruits and vegetables.  More fish.  No fried food.  You need to increase your blood-pressure and cholesterol medication.  Your blood-pressure is very high.  You need to exercise.  And you need to lose weight.\"</p>\n<p>\"You already said that.\"</p>\n<p>\"Losing weight is very important.\"</p>\n<p>I did recover, in five months instead of six.  Long walks on the beach, more healthy food, monitoring my blood pressure, I quit drinking alcohol.  I don\'t smoke, so that\'s not a problem.  I got the hell off social media, or anti-social media as I like to call it.  No more arguing with idiots on Facebook.  And I\'m trying to lose weight.  That last part is not easy.</p>\n<p>But the best part of having double vision for three months was walking into a go-go bar and, instead of seeing 10 bikini-clad women on stage, I saw 20.  I was almost sad to see my double vision clear.</p>\n<h3>When life flashes before you</h3>\n<p>It is true what they say about people who suffer health scares and medical emergencies.  There is no feeling of calm or serenity; I\'ll save that for the old-age home.  But there is a fierce need to suddenly prioritize; to realize and accept what is truly important in life.</p>\n<p>I no longer tolerate stupidity or stupid people; found abundantly in this industry.  I no longer allow myself, or other dedicated and caring teachers, to carry the blame for the stupidity, idiocy, and ridiculous polices put in place by the educationally-challenged bigwigs.  (A large load, indeed.)  I am no longer willing to spend another second of my life in bad schools with a toxic work environment watching dumb people doing dumb things.</p>\n<p>What?  You mean to say there are still some people out there who think, \"This Steve Schertzer character is exaggerating.  It really can\'t be this bad.\"  Well, as the good doc said, I am brain damaged.  So, cut me some slack.</p>\n<p>In the 20 years I\'ve been in this hellhole of an industry, I have seen 14-year old\'s with gray hair, fifteen-year old\'s with anxiety disorders, sixteen-year old\'s hugging pillows in class the way a four-year-old clutches Winnie the Poo.  High school students with high-blood pressure, depression, and suicidal thoughts.</p>\n<p>There are thousands of adolescents who fling themselves off 25 story apartment buildings every year because they failed a Math exam, or weren\'t admitted into a top university.  This is normal to the people who run this industry?  Nothing wrong here!  Nothing to see as they cover up another dead body!  Everybody go home!</p>\n<p>\"Sometimes we have to do what is ridiculous.\"</p>\n<p>To me, it\'s an absolute miracle, not to mention a living testament to the strength and courage of middle and high school students everywhere, that they don\'t take that knife out of their backpack and stab themselves 47 times given what they have to go through day in and day out.</p>\n<p>As English teachers throughout the world know, many societies in Asia and the Middle-East are hierarchical.  That\'s different from what we westerners are used to.  But the need by those in positions of authority to control teachers and other employees to the point of breaking contracts, withholding payment, publicly embarrassing them, disrespecting them, humiliating them, and even threatening them would be seen in the West as a psychiatric disorder.</p>\n<p>Ken Robinson does offer solutions, for those who want to hear.  Again, I will paraphrase.  First and foremost, students must want to be in school.  It\'s impossible to teach someone who\'s hanging out at the mall.  Second, find out what the students are interested in, and focus on that.</p>\n<h3>A room with a purpose</h3>\n<p>Next, get rid of this horrible and pathological concept that each class must be 45-50 minutes in length.  Make the classrooms bigger, much bigger.  Remove those horrible tiny wooden desks and rickety chairs, (reminiscent of the Soviet era), and replace them with round tables more conducive to group work and student cooperation.  (Some schools already do this.) And classify the classrooms by subject:  A Math room, a Biology room, an English room, a Chinese room, a History room, and so on.</p>\n<p>Have reading rooms, music rooms, gym rooms, woodworking shops, car repair shops, and a theater room where students can rehearse plays, put on skits, and strut around like Hamlet and Othello.  The students will still have every subject they need to study, but they will do them much more creatively, intelligently, and more aligned with the psychology of human development.</p>\n<p>Get rid of clocks.  No more clocks in the classrooms.  They will not be needed.  The students will go from room to room to learn and study each subject in their own time.  If some of them want to spend an hour in the Math room doing mathematical things before moving on to the music room, that\'s fine.</p>\n<p>If some others want to spend 90 minutes or two hours in the woodworking shop before moving on to an English class, fantastic!  If some of them want to spend all day reading and running laps, great!  If others want an hour of history but only 30 minutes of Chinese, then it\'s time to congratulate them on their time-management skills.</p>\n<p>If some students want to spend half the day practicing Shakespeare and the other half alternating between Math and Science, give them a high-five!  They will still be graded on all their subjects.  Better than that, the teachers will be free to grade their students in accordance with their character and personality.</p>\n<p>Diagnostic, formative, and summative assessment has always been tricky for schools and teachers.  For students who are not good at taking tests or exams, they can do more task-based or project-based assignments.  For those that are not proficient in writing book reports or something more project-based, they can take more exams.</p>\n<p>Best of all, besides the core subjects, students are also learning life lessons such as responsibility, respect, cooperation, self-discipline, self-motivation, team work, and time-management skills, just to name a few.  As for the teachers, it\'s time to get off the stage.  As a teacher in Robinson\'s book says, we are not \"the sage on the stage, but the guide on the side.\"</p>\n<p>If spending 10 or 12 hours a day in a brick and mortar school seems excessive, take two or three afternoons a week and have the students do community volunteer work.  They could clean parks, visit hospitals to read stories to children with cancer, entertain children in orphanages, and help feed the elderly in geriatric centers.  The students will even get extra credit for this. What a learning experience this would be for them!</p>\n<p>And, for God sakes, get rid of the ubiquitous and abhorrently loud school bell along with the equally annoying announcements on loud-speakers made by 56-year-old, grey-haired lady administrators: \"DEAR STUDENTS!  TODAY\'S MENU IS MACARRONI AND CHEESE.  PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY BEFORE ENTERING THE LUNCH ROOM, AND ENJOY YOUR LUNCH!\"  (Sound of a microphone being dropped.)</p>\n<p>Do schools really need that?  Besides, it\'s Thursday.  Every student already knows that Thursday is macaroni and cheese day.</p>\n<h3>Beckerman\'s studies</h3>\n<p>Joel Beckerman is a musician and the author of \"The Sonic Boom:  How Sound Transforms the way We Think, Feel, and Buy.\"  (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Press, 2014.)  There are things in this book that most people will never think about, but will certainly feel.</p>\n<p>Beckerman is also a strategic sound consultant.  He goes to hospitals, companies, and schools to advise people how sound could be used to create a more comfortable and vibrant work environment conducive to learning, creating, and feeling better.</p>\n<p>Why would a school need a strategic sound consultant?  Loud noises frighten people.  The last thing schools need are loud bells that can wake the dead and scare the living.  Each of the rooms in the school could have its own unique music or sounds that create the atmosphere needed for the students to learn and complete their work at their own pace.</p>\n<p>We are guiding the students through incremental learning, since it is they who are learning at their own pace.  Each room becomes a &lsquo;Zone of Proximal Development.\'  We are guiding them through Csikszentmihalyi\'s version of flow.  Since there are no clocks, no bells, no whistles or loud blasts of any kind, there are no interruptions, leaving the students with the choice of completing a task before moving to the next one.  Thus, no &lsquo;Zeigarnik Effect.\'</p>\n<p>I actually tried some of this with task-based exercises for my grade 10 class last year at that horrible school in China.  This \"experiment\" lasted three wonderful weeks.  I was reading Robinson\'s book at the time, and thought I\'d \"give it a whirl.\"  The students loved it, but many, admittedly, weren\'t ready for the responsibility and self-discipline this method calls for; another way schools are failing their students by not teaching these life lessons.</p>\n<p>The principal, the head teacher of the English department, and the Chinese English teacher of that grade 10 class, how did they react?  Boy, did they come after me! They chased me down the hall as I checked on the students.  The poor students could hear us yelling at each other as I defended them.  Needless to say, my contract wasn\'t renewed.</p>\n<p>In the 20 years I\'ve been slowly losing my mind in the industry, I do have regrets.  But only three of them.</p>\n<p>1) Not standing up to the bullies and educational retards that run many schools;<br />2) Not standing up for good, dedicated, and caring teachers as much as I should have; and<br />3) Not standing next to many students, as they let teachers know what is important to them, and specifically how they themselves learn.</p>\n<p>A case in point on number three:  A few years ago when I taught at a high school in Phnom Penh, I caught a student in my 12th grade class drawing pictures in her art book rather than doing her English work.  I told her to put it away.  When she did not, I took the sketch book from her and didn\'t give it back until the end of the day.</p>\n<p>It was like I ripped her arm off, and in a strange way, I did.  She hated me after that.  Two years later, at this horrible school in China, I caught one of my 10th graders drawing pictures.  I slowly walked over to her, bent over to take a closer look and said, \"Wow, that is beautiful!\"  Her smile lit up the room.  In both cases the pictures were beautiful; three-dimensional figures of singers or movie-stars in elaborate gowns and sequined jewelry.  It\'s incredible how some students can do that.  As I enquired into her artistic skills, it turns out that she spent a lot of her time drawing, raising the ire of her parents.  Whenever she felt sad or anxious or depressed, she told me, she would draw, and immediately felt better.</p>\n<p>In the second term on every Friday I began \"Catch up day\", where, for the 45-minute class, students who finished their work for that week could do whatever they wanted, except sleep.  Some read a book, others listened to music, or got caught up with homework, or did work from another class.  The girl who drew pictures continued to draw pictures.  I looked forward to \"Catch up day\" and so did the students.  It gave us a chance to know each other better.</p>\n<p>It is often said that a teacher wears many hats.  That is true.  A teacher is also asked to wear a uniform, and the uniform a teacher chooses will make all the difference whether or not he or she is liked, valued, respected, and supported by the principal, director, administrators, fellow teachers, and the students.  Different uniforms will get you valued and respected by different people.</p>\n<p>Wear the uniform of a strict administrator and you run the risk of not being liked by the students.  Wear the uniform of the students and you run the risk of being run out of town by the principal or the director.  Wear the uniform of a director and nobody will like or support you.</p>\n<p>Let there be no doubt where my loyalties lie.  After 20 years of watching students getting screwed out of a decent education, I am squarely on their side.  I wear the student\'s uniform proudly and with honor.  Why do I choose to wear the students\' uniform?  It\'s like the old joke, why do grandparents and their grandchildren get along so well?  Because they share a common enemy!</p>\n<p>I know I have come down hard on this industry in this blog, and for good reason.  What started as an industry with so much potential has turned into just another industry run by sleazy, ethically-bankrupt people who put profits above principle and money over morality.  What began as a potentially worthwhile cultural exchange opportunity for both sides, ended up becoming a corrupt criminal enterprise.</p>\n<h3>It\'s sad because....</h3>\n<p>In the end, it\'s sad.  It\'s sad because this industry could have been so much better.  It can do so much better.  It\'s sad because an ESL monkey like me can spend time and energy reading and studying how to become a better teacher, and learn from his experiences, while most of the bigshots in positions of power can\'t be bothered to pick up a book on education reform or spend one minute in deep thought about how they got it so wrong.</p>\n<p>It\'s sad because so many teachers from the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, South Africa, and the Philippines go to countries around the globe with the best of intentions; with dreams and aspirations of making a positive difference in the lives of their students, only to be disrespected by the powers that be, used as cash cows by the schools, their ideas ignored, their unique experiences invalidated, their creativity quashed as they are constantly told to \"do as you\'re told\" and \"not make waves.\"</p>\n<p>It\'s sad because instead of supporting caring and dedicated teachers, the powers that be choose to continually walk away without listening to them.  This goes for both the local and foreign teachers.  It\'s not only the students who dare to stand out like a nail that gets hammered down; it\'s the teachers as well.  Try something new, something unorthodox, even something weird; then watch the hammers come after you.  That\'s an industry stuck in the mud, spinning its wheels, and going nowhere.  That\'s sad.</p>\n<p>The TEFL Powerball is still in place, but every once in a while, it seems to morph into something resembling a different monster.</p>\n<p>Favoritism, an avoidance of older teachers or pleasingly corpulent teachers in favor of young and thin backpackers with all their teeth.  Many schools are now a ruse for nepotism, preferring to hire friends or friends of friends of the teachers and administrators already there.  Better to play it safe, I suppose.  At times this may give the appearance of change, but as the saying goes, the more things change the more they stay the same.</p>\n<p>I am feeling better since my health scare last August, but I still have my days.  In the last few weeks I have looked on ajarn.com and sent a few cover letters and CVs out to a few schools that interest me; the few schools that I think supports its teachers and treats them with the respect they deserve.

Online was chosen because I was working on a cruise ship and obviously couldn\'t attend physical classes. I then finished the cruise ship work and wanted to live and work in Asia.','<p>It would be difficult for me to say exactly, how many times I have been asked this question.</p>\n<p>My teaching career spanned almost 35 years, over half of it in Thailand, as a trainer for a TEFL/TESOL certification course. During that time, I was always very keen that we as teachers should &lsquo;demonstrate rather than explain\'.</p>\n<p>The best way I can think to demonstrate an answer to the above question is to give an actual example. With the kind permission of and information given to me by an ex-trainee from one of the courses in Phuket, Thailand, I will use his words and mine to tell his story.</p>\n<p>You can call me &lsquo;Al\' this is my story:</p>\n<p>My first introduction the TEFL/TESOL world was an online TEFL certificate. Online was chosen because I was working on a cruise ship and obviously couldn\'t attend physical classes. I studied daily when off duty and took the final test within the time limit. I got a high grade. I then opted to attend an on-site course in Phuket, Thailand in my holiday time to bolster my online TEFL certificate, by doing a teaching practice component and gaining a combined certificate.</p>\n<p>I then finished the cruise ship work and wanted to live and work in Asia. I chose Taiwan, because of the high salary, low living costs and plenty of English teaching jobs.</p>\n<p>My first job was at a private school teaching kids (they call them cram schools here). It was a 1 year contract, for 2007/2008. I had to have a medical exam and give degree certification to the government; they do actually contact your university to verify that the degree is real. This is to stop people with bogus certificates-this was a big problem previously and that\'s why they became strict about it. It took around two months to get a work permit and visa. The latter is called an ARC, or alien resident certificate.</p>\n<p>During that period, 2007/2008, I was approached by a cram school for adults, as they wanted a native English speaker to teach material for an external examining organization, which was an English proficiency examination, needed for non-native English speaking students to get into English speaking universities abroad, primarily UK, Australia and the USA. The adult students were primarily Taiwanese university students wanting to qualify to study for a Master Degrees abroad.</p>\n<p>After I finished the contract in the first year with the kid\'s school, I went full time with the adult school. As this was more technical and specialized, there was a considerable pay increase.</p>\n<p>I then did a diploma qualification, again online. Having successfully completed that, it gave me the confidence to go ahead with a&nbsp;Master Degree in ESL, with specialization in curriculum and instruction with an American University, again online, and attained a high GPA of 3.92. This took 18 months, and allowed me to continue with my present job and resulted in a significant wage increase.</p>\n<p>Additionally, I became the lead teacher in my school for a large English examining organization; the school is quite big with multiple branches throughout Taiwan, so I had plenty of classes travelling from branch to branch, giving plenty of variety to my work schedule. I have also published a textbook and appeared in some promotional videos for our organisation. More recently, I also did some recordings in a studio for our institution-this included vocabulary listings and also our own \'mock Listening test\'.</p>\n<p>A more recent development was that we created an online mock test for an external speaking examination, so that our students could practice what the real test is like before the student is ready to be a candidate. This has been very popular.</p>\n<p>Story from Al Reeves, Taiwan   January 2018</p>\n<p>It is difficult to describe the feeling, when as a teacher you hear a story like this from someone and that you were able to make a small, but hopefully valuable contribution. And as a teacher, you never know when this will happen. Al had a couple of advantages to create this story for himself; he was and still is humble and very well motivated. His story started with a TEFL/TESOL certificate.</p>\n<p>So what <em>can</em> you do with a TEFL/TESOL certificate?</p>\n<p><strong>Peter Ticehurst    January 2018<br />Retired Lead Trainer for ITTT (<a href=\"https://www.teflonline.net/?r=aja\">International TEFL and TESOL Training</a>), Phuket Thailand</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/apple.gif','2018-01-24 21:13:41',1,'2018-01-24 21:13:41','2018-01-25 11:11:42'),(32195,10,'Need a cleaner in Bangkok?','need-a-cleaner-in-bangkok','Perhaps Beneat.co could be the answer.','Beneat.co provide some helpful guidelines before you go ahead and book a cleaner online.

Step forward Beneat.co, a company that according to its website, employs &lsquo;local cleaners that love cleaning\'.</p>\n<p>Now although I can\'t believe anyone on earth actually enjoys cleaning, since our useless twice-a-week house cleaner quit the job several months ago, I\'ve had no other choice but to get busy with brooms and mops myself. And because I\'m such a fussy bugger where cleanliness is concerned, a deep clean of both floors of the house can take me anything up to eight hours. A whole day wasted you might say.</p>\n<p>Were Beneat.co the answer to my prayers? Certainly worth a try I thought.</p>\n<h3>\'Partnership\'</h3>\n<p>Beneat.co are riding on the wave of the Air BnB boom. With lots of condo owners in Bangkok making handy cash out of short-term rentals on the world\'s most popular accommodation platform, those same condos must need cleaning on a seriously regular basis - possibly even three or four times a week.</p>\n<p>Air BnB and Beneat.co - what a great idea for a business &lsquo;partnership\'</p>\n<p>Beneat.co provide some helpful guidelines before you go ahead and book a cleaner online. They recommend you use a cleaner for at least a couple of hours if you\'re looking to spruce up a small condo, rising to around 4-8 hours for a decent sized, two-storey house, which is what my wife and I have.</p>\n<p>In turn you get to see a smiley photo of your cleaning lady even before you\'ve met her and you can read online reviews from satisfied customers telling you that this is one maa baan who &lsquo;gets into corners that other cleaners can\'t reach\'.</p>\n<p>We decided to trial things for four hours on a Saturday morning from 8.00 am to midday. The usual cost for a four-hour clean (the minimum recommendation for a house) is 1,000 baht, of which I believe about 800 baht goes to Mrs Mop and 200 baht to the Beneat company. However, as a special promotion offer for the first-time customer, Beneat were willing to waive their 200 baht cut. So 800 baht for four hours it was.</p>\n<h3>On time. Super!</h3>\n<p>I had barely time for a bowl of Cornflakes and our Saturday cleaner was ringing the door-bell at ten minutes to eight, which already scores her two bonus points if you loathe unpunctuality as much as I do. She parked up an impressive-looking motorcycle and unloaded her cleaning equipment from a couple of pannier bags.</p>\n<p>My wife had communicated with the cleaner the day before and asked if there was any cleaning stuff she needed us to provide. \"Nothing at all\", the maid replied \"I have a special vacuum cleaner, brushes, mops, cleaning solutions and all the equipment I need\"</p>\n<p>The cleaner began with an upstairs and downstairs appraisal of the property. \"Four hours is enough for a basic clean\" she advised \"I\'ll do all the floors and clean the furniture, etc. But for a deeper clean, where I do any mosquito screens and wash windows inside and out, you are looking at six hours for that\"</p>\n<p>I thought it was a pretty fair appraisal. It would certainly take me at least six hours to complete the same amount of work.</p>\n<h3>A job well done</h3>\n<p>After our initial four-hour cleaning session was up, I returned to the house to subtly inspect her work. I was impressed. You know that feeling you get when you enter a house and it just &lsquo;feels clean\'.</p>\n<p>While the cleaner wasn\'t looking, I ran my fingers along a couple of ledges and surfaces to see what dust I could find. Clean as a whistle. She had passed the test!</p>\n<p>As she packed up her cleaning equipment in readiness to go onto her next job, I seized the opportunity for a quick chat, if only because I had never seen a cleaner look so happy in their work.</p>\n<h3>The big bucks</h3>\n<p>It turned out she was making the best part of 40,000 baht a month. No wonder she couldn\'t smile wide enough.</p>\n<p>She went into more detail. She had pocketed 800 baht from the morning session at our house and still had a couple of two-hour Air BnB jobs out on Rama 4. So it was going to be a 1,600 baht day.</p>\n<p>She told us that in January, she hadn\'t had a single day off because she was so in demand. You can do the maths. With that kind of commitment and work ethic, 40K a month is easily achievable. And why would she lie about it?</p>\n<p>Dare I say I knew the day would come when a cleaner earned more than your average English teacher? You know that line about teaching and earning four times what a local does. How does it go again?</p>\n<p>But seriously, isn\'t it wonderful to see how an online platform and the reach of social media are completely transforming the life of a simple cleaner?</p>\n<h3>A somewhat divisive issue</h3>\n<p>I decided that afternoon to share the good news on social media. Perhaps other foreign expats out there were desperately searching for someone to clean and tidy their home? Hmmm.....I got a mixed reaction to say the least.</p>\n<p>Foreigners here seemed to fall into two camps upon reading about my Beneat experience - those who thought it was a terrific deal and those who thought I had paid &lsquo;way over the odds\'</p>\n<p>Those expats who gave Beneat the thumbs up and asked me for the website link clearly knew the value of a good cleaner. Interestingly, my Thai best friend, who earns 30,000 baht a month, didn\'t think the fee was excessive at all. \"It sure beats having to do it yourself\" he remarked.</p>\n<p>However, there was a group of expats who seemed to think a thousand baht bordered on the scandalous and for a shortish while, I managed to turn social media into a farang pissing contest on who gets away with managing to pay their maid / cleaner the least.</p>\n<p>\"My cleaner works all day from first light to sunset. I give her 500 baht and she seems happy\"</p>\n<p>\"My cleaner comes to the house twice a week for about four hours each time and she\'s OK with a couple of hundred baht\"</p>\n<p>\"My cleaner works from six in the morning until midnight and gives me a hundred baht for the privilege of working for me\"</p>\n<p>OK, the last one I made up but there must be someone out there with such an arrangement.</p>\n<p>And then there\'s my own personal favourite. The old chestnut.</p>\n<p>\"You DO know that minimum wage in Thailand is 300 baht a day. Probably even less for a Burmese or Cambodian maid\"</p>\n<h3>Tweets a-plenty</h3>\n<p>I shared the social media comments with my wife. Her response was \"why do foreigners develop this mindset when they live in Thailand that everyone has to work for the cheapest price and it\'s all about paying the smallest amount possible? I just don\'t get it\"</p>\n<p>Apologies for perhaps going off topic but I\'ve always referred to this attitude as &lsquo;The Lonely Planet syndrome\" - a mindset instilled in us by guidebooks and their ilk that has us believe that Asians are all willing to work for a bowl of rice and any opening offer for a product or service is always going to be a grossly inflated one.</p>\n<p>You know what. I don\'t want a Burmese or a Cambodian on minimum wage to come into my house to clean it. As one social media commentator succinctly put it - \"minimum wage gets you minimum effort and minimum results\". I couldn\'t agree more. I\'m actually willing to pay a premium for someone who is going to put their heart and soul into a job. Any job!</p>\n<p>And I\'ve always been of the opinion that as long as the buyer is happy with the price (and the outcome is satisfactory) then that\'s all that matters.</p>\n<p>If you\'re one of those folks whose maid can clean and tidy your house until it gleams like a new pin for a few hundred baht a day, then good luck to you. I would marry her if I were you.</p>\n<p>However, one Twitter follower did make a very good point. And that is that we all have different standards of cleanliness. What\'s clean to one isn\'t necessarily clean to another. And yes, you do have to keep that in mind.</p>\n<p>Another decent point someone made was that what you spend on these services is all relative. \"A thousand baht could be an awful lot of money for a teacher earning 30,000. That\'s a week\'s worth of Thai meals\"</p>\n<p>But as we say in Thailand - up to you! I thought that using the Beneat platform was a very worthwhile experience and I got my house cleaned by a very capable lady who clearly loved what she did.</p>','','2018-01-31 00:03:06',1,'2018-01-31 00:03:06','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32198,21,'Is knowing and speaking Thai necessary?','is-knowing-and-speaking-thai-necessary','Useful in everyday situations but what about in the school environment?','A knowledge of spoken Thai is always going to be invaluable, but how about speaking Thai in the classroom and within the school environment?

He says \"It\'s useful to know Thai at school, but we forbid the foreign teachers to use any Thai in front of the kids. We have a few teachers who are nearly fluent, but none of the kids know that. If they did, then they would only speak Thai to them. We\'ve had complaints from the parents in the past that their kindergarten aged kids spoke Thai with a \"farang accent\". So we are now quite strict. The foreign teachers are here for the kids to listen to English, not badly spoken Thai\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Complaints from parents. The last thing a school wants.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Tonya agrees with Richard</strong>. \"Speaking Thai in class is a no-no. Besides, if you don\'t know Thai well you could be passing on bad grammar or tonal pronunciation to your Thai students. Further, their parents are paying for you to speak to them in only English. Give them what they want. Learn at least basic Thai for daily life though, definitely\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Teacher trainer Eric</strong> - \"I interviewed three teachers on this subject a while back. Each of them stated speaking Thai is useful (obviously) but needs to be limited in the classroom\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I was taught to NEVER speak Thai in the classroom\" <strong>says Troy</strong>, \"I also believe it\'s better you don\'t let on that you can speak Thai because it works to your advantage in many many ways\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sounds like <strong>Ged</strong> sometimes uses his Thai language skills - \"If you can speak Thai a little bit, then use Thai and then follow it up with English so the very young children know what you are talking about!\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Sean</strong>, another long-term foreign teacher in Thailand - \"Certainly, knowing Thai helps. But, to school administration, it\'s a liability. I think they see it as too risky, that you may use it because you can. In most classrooms, the foreign teacher will sound ridiculous using any Thai. It is certainly frowned upon (but not by all). I\'ve also been with very low level learners and the use of Thai was needed and welcomed. But, this is the exception, not the rule. &nbsp;In my current role, Thai is neither needed, nor allowed. But, I can tell if the students are following the lesson or not by following their Thai banter in class. Like I say, very useful. But, looked at as a liability by most\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Mark&nbsp;</strong>takes a more light-hearted approach to things - \"If I use Thai in the classroom it\'s for comedy relief only. For example, I have learned the Thai words for past, present and future and my pronunciation of all three of them is horrible and provokes an outpouring of merriment. But it makes the lessons interesting and fun!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teacher <strong>Diana</strong> certainly sticks up for the Thai speakers - \"Of course speaking some Thai comes in handy\" It wouldn\'t be the expression I would use though since it\'s more of a necessity in my opinion. If you can\'t communicate with your colleagues and employers, then everything will surely be a lot more difficult for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s leave the last teacher comment to another <strong>Mark</strong>, who simply says - \"The more you know, the more it will hurt\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for me, I only taught adult students during my years as a language teacher and although I rarely ever spoke Thai in the classroom, knowing what students were talking about amongst themselves was priceless. One incident at one particular language school always comes to mind. My group of eight students were about to take a two-hour test which would determine whether they were able to move up to the next level and obtain a certificate. When I handed out the test papers and students had their first chance to look over the question sections, one lady turned to the rest of the group and said \"what\'s this section about? the teacher didn\'t teach this!\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Thai, I then said to her \"actually I did teach it. But looking at the attendance sheet, you were not here. So it was your responsibility to catch up with work that you missed\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On another day, this student might have marched up to the front desk and complained to the reception staff.

At the very least, be aware of the situation and help make others more likely to be affected (young children, for example) aware too!','<p>Ok, maybe epidemic is too strong of a word. It\'s not like the world is ending. Not just yet anyway.</p>\n<p>I understand the causes of the pollution we\'ve been hit with recently in Bangkok and around the majority of Asia. Most of us do. It\'s the result of progress - progress made initially in ignorance of what our actions would do to the environment. Yet progress that is slowly also recognizing that problem and trying to address ways to avoid destruction to ourselves.<br /><br />What is really irritating me (and not just my lungs) is the fact that the general public seems blissfully ignorant of the danger of breathing-in such low air quality</p>\n<h3>Scary statistics</h3>\n<p>The Air Quality Index for Bangkok at the moment is 199 - a meaningless number, but for perspective, I know of several international schools in China that won\'t let kids play outside if the index gets above 120-130, deemed \"unhealthy for sensitive groups\" by the international non-profit organization [based in Beijing, mind you] that consolidates and provides air quality data worldwide.</p>\n<p>199 is considered \"unhealthy\" for everyone, and a mere hair\'s breadth away from \"very unhealthy,\" which again for perspective is described as \"health warnings of emergency conditions\" and \"the entire population\" is likely affected.</p>\n<p>Now, I\'m not about to make any judgements about why we aren\'t being warned about these conditions because after all, I\'m just a tax-paying foreigner with absolutely no legal rights, but I do have to observe the idiom on which the true danger rests: ignorance is bliss.</p>\n<h3>Unaware</h3>\n<p>Sadly, and I\'ve confirmed this by talking to many people, Thais and foreigners genuinely don\'t know that this \"fog\" we\'ve had off and on for a few weeks now is the same \"fog\" that the poor people of Beijing face on a regular basis, the same \"fog\" they\'re frequently warned about and, in fairness, have been taking steps in recent years to combat.</p>\n<p>People here often have no idea that by allowing their kids to go on playing outside and participating in sports, and even just walking to school, they\'re allowing them to breathe in potentially dangerous chemicals and dust that can make them sick. There\'s just little concept of it.</p>\n<h3>Unprecedented</h3>\n<p>In fairness, in my several years in Thailand now, I\'ve never seen it like this.</p>\n<p>Sure, we get our days of \"oh I wish they\'d do something about these Cold War-era red public buses,\" but a settled haze hasn\'t been a norm I\'ve experienced. Also in fairness, at least from what I\'ve read and seen from time to time, there are laws and regulations in place designed to combat [or at least start] these issues, but I won\'t go there.</p>\n<p>None of this makes up for the fact that people are getting sick. Has anyone taken public transport lately and witnessed the number of people coughing? It\'s not just the cold, folks.</p>\n<p>My point is this: I understand there is an image to be upheld, and that as a guest in this generally fine country, I have no right (nor desire) to make waves or play the blame game. I just think we should all exercise a bit of common sense. At the very least, be aware of the situation and help make others more likely to be affected (young children, for example) aware too!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

Each week, Frank\'s three guests (usually well known celebrities and comedians) put forward the &lsquo;things\' or situations that most wind them up in life, their &lsquo;pet hates\' as it were. The most convincing argument of the round consigns that particular hate to room 101 for all eternity.</p>\n<p>(Room 101 is actually a location whose name is inspired by the torture room in George Orwell\'s novel &lsquo;1984\', which reputedly contained \"the worst thing in the world\")</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9rhbu-NPEY\">In this week\'s show</a> (which I\'ve just watched), pet peeves included &lsquo;people who are mean to Paul McCartney\' (why do so many people take digs at a man who is possibly the greatest singer / songwriter ever and changed the face of popular music?) &lsquo;leaflets in hotel rooms\' (all those annoying leaflets advertising local owl sanctuaries, steam train rides and discounted spa treatments that are strewn all over the dressing table, and my own personal favourite this week, which was &lsquo;pointless things you learn at school\' (how many times in adult life do you need to calculate logarithms or know how to safely use a bunsen burner?)</p>\n<p>Anyway, I\'m never going to be famous enough to appear on the show but that doesn\'t stop me thinking about what I would want consigned to the dreaded Room 101 vault if I ever got the chance.</p>\n<p>So for a bit of fun and in no particular order, here are the three things I\'d love to see banished forever.</p>\n<h3>Hi-tech, trendy hotels.</h3>\n<p>A recent stay at an airport hotel in Amsterdam illustrates this one beautifully.</p>\n<p>After a 12-hour flight from Bangkok, all I wanted was to check-in, receive my room-key and go and get some much-needed kip.</p>\n<p>But this was one of those &lsquo;hi-tech\' trendy hotels - a category of accommodation which may well have 500 rooms at its disposal but is entirely run by just three young and enthusiastic staff members, wearing polo shirts and bright white trainers and working for just above minimum wage.</p>\n<p>The objective for hi-tech hotels seems to be to avoid human contact as much as possible and my airport hotel in Amsterdam was a perfect example. For starters, there was no reception desk, just a bank of computer screens signalling the dreaded self check-in process.</p>\n<p>So you fish your crumpled reservation print-out from your travel bag and then you do what every other new arrival around you is doing - you stand in front of a touch-screen computer and you prod aimlessly at buttons. And then after twenty minutes of error messages and being sent back to the home page, you look around for someone with a polo shirt and bright white trainers, except they are helping the other twenty guests who can\'t fathom out how to get a room key.</p>\n<p>Now call me old-fashioned but I\'ve always loved those hotel rooms where you turn on the TV with a remote control, you open and close the curtains with a cord of some description and you turn the lights on and off with a wall switch. They are processes that can never ever be improved upon in my book.</p>\n<p>But not in this hotel. Why make things simple? Everything in the room - the lights, the TV, the curtains - were controlled by an i-pad style tablet thingy on the bedside table.</p>\n<p>I would have coped with this particular hi-tech hurdle had the previous occupant or perhaps the room cleaner remembered to put the tablet back in its docking station, But they hadn\'t. So the battery was at 0% and I was in a hotel room powerless to perform even the simplest of tasks such as turning on a bathroom light.</p>\n<p>A quick phone call to housekeeping (thankfully the phone still worked like a phone) and someone came up to replace the tablet.</p>\n<p>I lay on the bed feeling mentally exhausted. What happened to the good old days when a nice young man in a smart uniform found your name and reservation on his computer, handed you a room key on a great big wooden fob and pointed you in the direction of the elevator?</p>\n<p>I think there will always be situations in life when you crave human interaction and machines will never cut it. Checking into a hotel is one such occasion.</p>\n<p>\"You\'re in room 675 Mr Williams on the sixth floor. Breakfast is served in the dining room from 8.00 am. Do enjoy your stay, sir\"</p>\n<p>I don\'t want to hear that from a machine.</p>\n<h3>Networking evenings</h3>\n<p>Business networking evenings. What on earth is that all about? I\'ve been invited to a few of them over the years and without exception, after half an hour I\'m frantically trying to work out an exit strategy.</p>\n<p>I think the idea behind a networking evening is that you circulate in a room full of strangers and make endless valuable business connections. Do you arse burgers! Everyone is there for the free grub and anyone you are unfortunate enough to strike up a conversation with will usually be the kind of person you\'d normally cross the street to avoid.</p>\n<p>I\'m British. The British are shit at networking evenings.</p>\n<p>There\'s a lovely guy at my local gym who I chat to about football and a few other things (he\'s from Norwich and a fanatical Norwich City supporter) It was two months from our first nod and hello before we plucked up the courage to introduce ourselves properly and ask each other\'s names. That\'s how the British do things. It\'s in our DNA. We don\'t like to play our hand too early.</p>\n<p>However, I\'ve noticed Americans, Indians and folks from The Middle East (particularly the older generation) are brilliant at networking. I mean I\'m in awe of anyone who has the balls to walk up to a complete stranger, thrust out a hand and say \"Hi, my name\'s Bobby. What line of business are you in and who\'s taking care of your digital marketing?\"</p>\n<p>I find the whole idea of networking and being trapped in a room full of strangers and weird people to be utterly terrifying.</p>\n<h3>Drinkers who stand at the bar</h3>\n<p>Now this peculiar brand of behaviour probably takes place in drinking establishments all over the world but undoubtedly the best chance you have of witnessing it is in your typical British country pub.</p>\n<p>Let me paint you the picture. You\'re driving home with your wife, partner or whoever after a nice day out and one of you comes up with the always welcome suggestion of stopping off for a quick drink before home.</p>\n<p>You\'re never far from a country pub in Britain and it\'s not long before such a place comes into view. The signage says &lsquo;The Ferret and Firkin\' or something equally enticing. There\'s a row of wonderful hanging baskets bursting with colour and the car park is virtually empty. It\'s the perfect place for a mid-afternoon snifter.</p>\n<p>You enter this fine hostelry and immediately find yourself in the pub lounge area. It is completely empty except for....aaaargh!.....a group of half a dozen young men standing and drinking at the bar and completely blocking your way. You\'re not sure how long they\'ve been there but the conversation has become loud and boisterous. I\'ve eavesdropped on these people in the past. They are usually either young farmers or roofing contractors.</p>\n<p>And then the barman appears and you are in a terrible quandry. You\'re in the position of having to shout your order over people\'s heads from an unsociable distance. And because you are driving and you\'re an incredibly responsible citizen, you will order something which is, shall we say, not the most macho of alcoholic drinks served on these premises. This is not the time to go down the real ale route and shout up two foaming pints of Badger\'s Cock.</p>\n<p>So as you order &lsquo;half a bitter shandy and a dry Martini\', the bar drinkers stop talking and a  hush descends. One or two of the bar drinkers might let out a derisory sneer. &lsquo;Who are these couple of out-of-town pansies?\'</p>\n<p>The barman hammers the final nail into the coffin by asking if you want an olive with the Martini?</p>\n<p>I think it was Kate Fox in her brilliant book &lsquo;Watching The English\' who said that quaffing pints at the bar is actually a badge of honour. You are telling the rest of the world (even though there\'s no one else in the bloody pub) that you are a local and you drink here regularly, perhaps you\'re even on first name terms with the barman and he knows exactly what your favourite tipple is.</p>\n<p>I just find it pathetic. For pete\'s sake why not order your drink and go and find somewhere to sit? Or at the very least, if you want to stand up and chat as a group - move away from the sodding bar.</p>\n<p><strong>So what things would you like banished to room 101?</strong></p>','','2018-02-12 04:53:51',1,'2018-02-12 04:53:51','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32211,102,'My first day at school','my-first-day-at-school','An introduction to the cast of characters (my teaching colleagues)','It was already 35 degrees in the shade, and the last thing I really needed now was to be doing star jumps and the like. But it seemed that all of the teachers were getting their own dance moves on, and I had to do the same. ','<p>Philip! Het Ngaan Yoo!\'</p>\n<p>My thoughts were disturbed by this loud salutation and I looked up to see a large black man looking down on me, somewhat like an eagle about to consume a baby rabbit! I smiled back and he asked me, &lsquo;Do you understand what I have just said?\' I had an idea that he was using the Isaan dialect to ask what I was doing, or working on, but I replied in the negative, as I suspected he wanted to tell me anyway.</p>\n<p>He said in his rather strong Ghanaian accent that he was speaking Laos/Isaan and asking what I was doing or working on. &lsquo;Wow, you can speak Isaan?\' I said in fake astonishment. &lsquo;Yes! You too must learn this, because then the teachers and students will respect you!\'</p>\n<p>He strode off to his desk and I heard a few whispers from my group of &lsquo;admirers\'.&nbsp; None of these seemed to be respectful though - quite the reverse.</p>\n<p>In a few minutes Mustafa was back and told me in no uncertain terms that as it was 8am, we must now go to the assembly area. I followed suit and as we made our way down the stairs I saw a familiar face. I was pleased to see my son Tom, surrounded&nbsp; by Thai female students all looking smitten by my handsome little boy. &lsquo;That boy is very lucky!\'&nbsp; Mustafa told me in his booming voice.&nbsp; &lsquo;He will have many girlfriends because he is luk krung!\' (Half Thai, half European.)</p>\n<p>I was about to tell him that Tom was my son, but he had already marched off towards what seemed like a sea of green jerseys. I could see at least 1,000 students moving in unison, and a few minutes later I saw the assembly area with another 4,000 sat in perfect lines as the Thai National Anthem crackled through a loud, but poor quality, PA system.</p>\n<p>I\'d recently developed a bloody painful ingrown toenail and today seemed to be, literally, its\' day in the sun. Mustafa was waiting for me, and as I was about to sit he reminded me that everybody had to stand during the Thai National Anthem. I took this opportunity to survey the scene and the sight and sound of 5,000-plus students all singing in unison was very impressive.</p>\n<p>As the track faded out we sat down, and almost immediately another song began crackling through the speakers, one of which was directly above our heads. I smiled inwardly as I recognised the sounds of the Village People blasting through the school assembly area - YMCA being the song of choice! A teacher on the stage was gesticulating furiously, and all the students began to imitate this track-suited lady as she initiated a very Butlins-esque dance routine. Mustafa was following suit, pulling me to my feet - this I was not expecting!</p>\n<p>It was already 35 degrees in the shade, and the last thing I really needed now was to be doing star jumps and the like. But it seemed that all of the teachers were getting their own dance moves on, and I had to do the same. I tried to get away with as little as possible, and thankfully about four minutes later the punishment ended.</p>\n<p>My toe was hurting like billio and I was thinking seriously about ripping the bloody nail out there and then. &lsquo;Do you feel alive, my friend?\'&nbsp; Mustafa was buzzing by now, and I was glugging away on the water bottle that Jum, my wife, had insisted I brought with me to school. &lsquo;School is different in Thailand,\'&nbsp; she had warned me, and I was beginning to see how different it really was. After assembly we had a small snack by the coffee shop, and I was introduced to another foreign teacher. Her name was Bao, a pretty American lady in her mid-twenties.</p>\n<p>She looked a little Thai, and she explained that she was actually born in North Eastern Thailand, to a hill tribe family. Sometime back in the 1980s, as a small child, Bao was airlifted to the U.S.A. as part of a United Nations programme, and had since become very American. She was back in Thailand to re-connect to her roots, and although she had asked the agency back in the States for a nursery role, preferably in either Bangkok or Northern Thailand, here she was in Kalasin.</p>\n<p>Bao seemed less than happy about this fact, and was also bemoaning the lack of any support from the school with regards her first ever teaching experience. &lsquo;They told me that I would have a Thai teacher to help me today, but that doesn\'t seem to be happening,\' she grumbled. Instead of teaching kindergarten kids, Bao would be teaching M2 and M4, 14-year olds and 16/17-year olds.<br /> <br />I was teaching M3 and M4 Apparently M3 were always the toughest year to teach because the 16-year olds were full of hormones and really had little interest in learning anything, let alone English conversation. The schedule told me that I would be teaching M3/13 for my maiden lesson. Apparently the /13 indicated a top tier class according to the Thai streaming system, and I was thinking about the best way to tackle this challenge.</p>\n<p>Wannee still hadn\'t appeared and, as with Bao, she had indicated that I would have some help for at least the first introductory lessons. I decided to use a tried and trusted TEFL icebreaking exercise that involved each student coming to the front of the class and introducing themselves.&nbsp; I had already printed out hundreds of sheets of paper, each with about 20 sets of questions, ready to cut into little cards. Each one had the same set of 5 questions:</p>\n<p>What is your name?</p>\n<p>How old are you?</p>\n<p>Where do you live?</p>\n<p>Describe your family?</p>\n<p>What is your favourite band?</p>\n<p>Hardly high level content but it would serve its\' purpose for now. I figured that these would take around a minute to answer verbally, and with around 50 or 60 kids per class, plus my own introduction, that would take care of the first lesson. I had about 25 minutes before my first-ever foray into teaching, so decided to take some fresh air out on the bridge.</p>\n<p>As I stopped well short of the hornets\' nest and looked below me, the bridge started to shake and I felt as if the whole structure was going to collapse. &lsquo;My friend, why are you not teaching?\' It was the unmistakeable sound of Mustafa as he took a few steps to the left while passing the hornets. I explained that my first lesson would kick off in about twenty minutes and he offered to come along with me for moral support. I was fairly sure that I knew where the classroom was, but according to Mustafa I had this totally wrong.</p>\n<p>Apparently, 3/13 was in another block and he would show me the way - just as soon as he had chatted up the pretty new American Teacher. Bao was less than impressed as Mustafa tried in vain to get her to come along on a date later that day. She was having a time of it because her first lesson was also starting at 11:00 and she asked me to help her get through this fifty minutes of uncertainty. I had to say no because mine was running in tandem. I did suggest that Mustafa could accompany her, but strangely she wasn\'t keen. &lsquo;Okay, Mr Philip, let us go and teach!\' boomed Mustafa.</p>\n<p>So we were off and I tried to keep up with the 6 foot 4 inch 20-something man-mountain as we crossed the assembly area to the furthest block in the school.&nbsp; We climbed the three sets of stairs and, according to Mustafa, 3/13 was the furthest classroom from the Language Department. Mustafa was already in the room before I reached the doorway to see that this was in fact - 5/13!</p>\n<p>It was almost 11:00. Making his apologies, Mustafa  broke into a little run and told me that he now remembered where the classroom really was. My bastard toenail had decided to make an its presence known, and this time it meant business. Still we climbed more stairs, and crossed a bridge - only to find that this was in fact 6/13! At this point it was well after 11:00 and I wondered if Mustafa was just playing games with me. &lsquo;Mustafa, I know where the bloody classroom is!\' &lsquo;Why didn\'t you say?\' He replied. I had said, but had bowed to his superior knowledge, since he had already been teaching here for a year.</p>\n<p>My bad.</p>\n<p>Finally we reached 3/13. It was already 11:20. When I walked into the class it appeared that the students had decided to give up on me, and were already halfway through what seemed like a biology lesson instead. One of them was playing the role of teacher and as I looked at the whiteboard, I could see a diagram of a man who appeared to have three legs. On closer inspection the middle leg was - well, exactly that! Above his head the name &lsquo;Mustafa\' was scrawled, and I chuckled inwardly because the Thai students\' sense of humour didn\'t appear to be that far off the British equivalent. I was about to introduce myself, but the big man was one step ahead.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Students! Please sit down!\' he boomed, and they begrudgingly did so. &lsquo;This is Teacher Philip!\' They looked towards me and seemed distinctly non-plussed. I couldn\'t blame them because my tardiness was hardly going to win them over. I told Mustafa that I would take it from here and he went off for a toilet break, promising to return in a few minutes.</p>','','2018-02-15 16:58:21',1,'2018-02-15 16:58:21','2018-02-16 07:07:22'),(32212,10,'Let\'s hear it for the laundry woman!','lets-hear-it-for-the-laundry-woman','How you miss her when she\'s gone','The relationship with your regular laundry woman is special.

My wife and I cast anxious glances at each other. The laundry shop owner looked as if she was about to burst into tears.</p>\n<p>This was no early April Fool\'s joke. The laundry shop where we had been regular customers for over seven years had decided to call it a day.</p>\n<p>But....but....how can this be? This laundry shop had become an integral part of our Sunday routine. After a leisurely morning at home, my wife and I will start by pushing a trolley around the supermarket. She puts luxury items in the shopping cart (I fish them out, look at the price label and put them back on the shelf) Then we argue over where to have lunch (she fancies Japanese. I\'m easy. I\'ll go anywhere - as long as it\'s not Japanese) Then finally we\'ll drive to the laundry shop with our huge black bin-liner of dirty washing. And waiting for us - with an unmistakable waft of Summer freshness - will be a lovely pile of freshly washed and ironed clothing.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Disappeared!&nbsp;&nbsp;</h3>\n<p>The owner went on to say that her female assistant, who had been part of the business since it opened, had gone back home to the north of Thailand for a family visit and done that all-too-familiar disappearing act. This time, she wasn\'t coming back.</p>\n<p>\"Can you not find a new member of staff?\" I enquired.</p>\n<p>I knew it was a ridiculous question. We were talking about the girl who washed the clothes, ironed the clothes, arranged them all into neat piles and wrapped them carefully in plastic covers. She was nearly always the &lsquo;front of house\' person as well - the cheerful face who dealt with the customers, took their money, entered various details into a computer and wrestled with the printer.</p>\n<p>She WAS the business. But now she was gone.</p>\n<p>\"People who are willing to work as hard as she did are impossible to find nowadays\", the owner said, \"especially for a laundry shop. So I\'ve got no choice but to close up and focus on being a full-time Mom to my daughter. I\'m really sorry about this. Not only to you but to all the loyal customers I\'ve built up over the years\"</p>\n<p>I could do little except shake my head in bewilderment. Is the writing on the wall for the Thai laundry business? Is it going to become another one of those essential services consigned to the history books? Because as the old saying goes - &lsquo;you just can\'t get the staff\'</p>\n<h3>Why change?</h3>\n<p>I think there are three main reasons why a customer gets cheesed off with a particular laundry shop and decides to take their grubby jeans and sweaty t-shirts elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Firstly, the quality of the washing and ironing. No one wants to pick up clothes that are badly pressed or see stubborn coffee stains that the shop hasn\'t managed to get out.</p>\n<p>Secondly, there are sometimes occasions when a laundry shop &lsquo;loses\' items. Stuff goes missing and there\'s absolutely nothing you can do about it. Your favourite pair of jeans are nowhere to be seen. Are you sure you put them in the bag? Good luck with that because it\'s your word against the laundry\'s - and there\'s usually only one winner.</p>\n<p>Finally, and this is the main reason I have changed laundry shops several times in the past - your clothes are never ready when you go to collect them. Now that\'s frustrating!</p>\n<h3>Ups and downs</h3>\n<p>Not for a moment am I going to say our regular laundry shop had a flawless record in these three departments. The quality of the ironing was always &lsquo;acceptable\' (and that\'s mainly why we stuck with them for so long) but it\'s fair to say they always struggled with dark-coloured polo shirts.</p>\n<p>They lost items as well. Funnily enough, my favourite pair of jeans ended up in someone else\'s wardrobe and at least two or three t-shirts were mislaid over the years. Oh, and let\'s not forget a short-sleeved blue cotton shirt that I loved wearing. The owner held it up one Sunday between a thumb and forefinger and it looked as if it had been pecked to death by crows. \"We had a problem with the washing machine\" she said, accompanied of course by one of those famous Thai smiles. \"How much do we owe you?\"</p>\n<p>The money didn\'t matter of course because the shirt could never be replaced. And I bloody loved that shirt!</p>\n<p>And yes, there was a time or two when our laundry wasn\'t ready. Usually when we were going on holiday the following day and needed it most.</p>\n<p>However, you put up with these mistakes. You tolerate the odd lost t-shirt and the inconvenience of having to return the following day because the alternative is too terrifying to contemplate. Oh, the very thought of having to find another laundry woman and having to start from scratch, building up a relationship and all that trust.</p>\n<p>That\'s why the relationship with your regular laundry woman is so special. OK, you might refer to her as &lsquo;that dozy cow\' whenever her back is turned but she\'s the woman who makes sure you stroll confidently into the classroom or office with immaculate creases and a blaze of brilliant whiteness that is the envy of your colleagues.</p>\n<p>You never truly appreciate these people until they\'re gone.</p>','','2018-02-19 04:07:27',1,'2018-02-19 04:07:27','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32213,97,'The worst type of foreigner','the-worst-type-of-foreigner','Why bash other people\'s lifestyles and situations?','I live in a closet with no air-con and a fan.

I\'ve met and seen a variety of people. Some good, and some bad. I do like to be positive but I am going to focus on the bad.  The bad people really turned into an interesting conversation I had with some online teachers.</p>\n<p>There are some people here on this side of the pond that really surprised me. For ages I thought one of the worst types of people here in Thailand is the typical dude that I call the, \"I hate Thailand guy\". <a href=\"http://karawacimatt.com/i-hate-thailand/\">I even wrote a blog post about it</a>. I am far from a Thailand apologist. There are so many benefits for living here but it is far from perfect. Even my Thai girlfriend and Thai friends will say it\'s far from perfect. But it\'s not as bad as people make it out to be.</p>\n<p>The main question I ask is, \"Why are you still here?\" I have been in some pretty deep and dark situations before but I have always found a way to get out and leave. Nobody is holding these people here. What I typically hear from these people is how Thailand is horrible, how all Thais hate foreigner and pretend to be nice nice to get your money. When you ask them how long they have been here they would say five, ten, twenty years more or less. How stupid can you get? If you hate a place, leave. It\'s not that hard.</p>\n<p>Then I have seen people who are worse than that.</p>\n<p>Some of you might know I have stage four prostate cancer. I\'ve done a couple videos on my youtube channel about how great <a href=\"https://www.dadaabc.com/teacher/job/d3n0o4V269\">DaDa ABC</a>&nbsp;is to work for. A viewer asked me a great question, \"Are you going to quit your full time job and work for DaDa ABC.</p>\n<p>The short version of the video is abou having two paychecks and making a western salary over here. Someone criticized me about the video. He didn\'t seem like he was trolling. He was genuinely upset with my video. You can watch it and read his <a href=\"https://youtu.be/ERaSAmREdR8\">dumb ass comments here</a></p>\n<p>I don\'t care about criticism. Honestly the only reason why I responded to it was interactions on youtube videos make them more relevant and increases the chance of them showing up in a search. I thought it was interesting though him asking, \"Why would you need more than $1000/month\" to live?</p>\n<p>I\'ve seen people glorifying a low teaching income before. I remember once in a Facebook teachers in Thailand room where someone brought up an excellent question, \"How can you live off of a teachers salary?\" Holy God the virtue signalers starting to shine brighter than the sun during the dry season here in Thailand. They started to bash this dude like a hard core wrestling match. One of the lines someone said that really stuck out to me was, \"Stop being fat and selfish and live the Thai lifestyle.\"</p>\n<p>Really? This is why Conservatives and Liberals call progressives regressives. They are backwards thinkers. I have 1,000 baht that says people like this brag about how they don\'t judge but all they do is judge people.</p>\n<p>To paraphrase his last comment he said, \"Go ahead and keep thinking you are better than Thai people because you make more money than them.\" I never followed up with the comments but I wanted to know what he thought of a friend of mine here who owns a gigantic and successful commercial construction company. Is he a jerk too? Or it\'s okay that my friend is loaded because he\'s Thai, and it\'s not okay for westerners to strive to make more money?</p>\n<p>\"Hey man, live the Thai lifestyle man! I live in a closet with no aircon and a fan. I live off of a diet of air, water and noodles.

Sure, maybe there are people who want to bang women at the red light districts. Maybe they want to invest in their retirement, start an internet business or two, buy a condo, travel, or hell, start a family? Is is really worth damning someone if they want a better life?</p>\n<p>I told someone that this kind of stupidity isn\'t only in Thailand, teachers have had the same experience. One teacher here in Thailand made an excellent observation. He said he was friends with some highly successful Thai people and they HATE IT when Westerners think all Thai people are that way. He said we\'re not all a bunch of hill tribe members. We\'re a modern country, just like the west.</p>\n<p>I would like to hear your thoughts. Which type of foreigner do you think is worse?

There have been <a href=\"https://www.snopes.com/dunblane-school-shootings-ban/\">no schools shootings in the UK</a> since the Dunblane massacre.</p>\n<p>A similar response by law makers in Australia, to the massacre at Port Arthur which saw <a href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/tasmanian-admits-gun-massacre-1351256.html\">35 people shot dead</a>, resulted in the banning of semi-automatic weapons across Australia. There have been <a href=\"http://fortune.com/2018/02/20/australia-gun-control-success/\">no mass shootings in Australia</a> since the massacre at Port Arthur.</p>\n<p>Trump\'s idea to tackle mass shooting by equipping teachers and schools administrators with firearms has, unsurprisingly,  angered teachers, students and parents, who have taken to social media criticizing President Trump and the Republican party.</p>\n<p>There are so many reasons why Trump\'s plans to arm one million teachers is a bad idea that you could write an entire book about it, but for now here are four points worth considering;</p>\n<p><strong>The classroom is not an environment for weapons</strong></p>\n<p>The classroom environment is one of the most important factors affecting student learning, with a safe, positive environment providing students with a place where they feel encouraged to tackle challenges, take risks and grow as individuals. Guns in classrooms would destroy this nurturing environment.</p>\n<p><strong>Armed officers hid from the Florida school shooter</strong></p>\n<p>An armed sheriff\'s deputy who was on duty when the Florida high school shooter killed 17 students failed to tackle the shooter and was reportedly found hiding behind a concrete barrier in the school\'s car park. With trained law enforcement offices too scared to tackle a lone shooter with semi automatic weapons, it\'s unrealistic to believe teachers and schools administrators will be capable of successfully confronting an armed killer.<br /> <br /><strong>Stray bullets likely to kill more children</strong></p>\n<p>According to statistics from NYPD, trained police officers struggle to hit their targets <a href=\"https://www.myajc.com/blog/get-schooled/gunfights-trained-officers-have-percent-hit-rate-yet-want-arm-teachers/mDBlhDtV6Na4wJVpeu58cM/\">during gunfights, with the average rate of accuracy at just 18%</a>.  It\'s unlikely that teachers will be as accurate as the average New York police officer, which will result in a lot of stray bullets flying around the school and a high chance that more children will be shot in the crossfire.</p>\n<p><strong>You do not want to be carrying a weapon when the SWAT team arrives</strong></p>\n<p>As soon as a shooting takes place in a school, authorities will call in a <a href=\"https://www.thebalance.com/the-history-and-purpose-of-swat-teams-974567\">SWAT team to eliminate the threat</a>. Any teacher walking about the school with a handgun is likely to be incorrectly identified as &lsquo;the threat\' and &lsquo;taken out\'.</p>\n<p>Despite the President\'s ludicrous plans, there is some hope for teachers and students as millions of Americans are planning protests against Washington\'s inability to tackle the threat of mass shooting.</p>\n<p>Two large nationwide protests have been planned for March, <a href=\"https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/2/19/17027250/march-protests-guns-florida-shooting\">the National School Walkout on March 14 and the March for Our Lives on March 24</a>, which will put pressure on the American government to take action and make schools safer. For the sake of America\'s students and teachers, let\'s hope lawmakers in Washington listen, and finally do something.</p>\n<p><strong>Dan Maxwell</strong></p>','storage/legacy/files/ajarn_guests/dan3.jpg','2018-02-25 03:24:07',1,'2018-02-25 03:24:07','2018-04-15 03:03:27');

I like comments: they\'re useful feedback for me, and they let me know that somebody actually reads this stuff. So a quick thank you to everyone who reads, and especially to those who leave even a little comment.</p>\n<p>I was particularly impressed by something Tracy brought up, and I thought it worth exploring. In her comment, Tracy asks me: <em>How much experience do you have of working with Thai management day in and day out? I 	only ask this as some of your ideas are great in theory, but simply wouldn\'t work in reality.</em></p>\n<p>Tracy\'s point is well taken. After all, who am I to make suggestions for teachers when I have not been in their shoes? But actually I take Tracy\'s question to be directed not specifically only at me, but at the broader community of authors and \'experts\', and so it taps into the great Theory versus Practice schism. Pitting academics against classroom practitioners, the theory-practice debate poses penetrating questions like:</p>\n<p>Who really knows the answers to the questions about education - the teachers who are in the classrooms, or the \'experts\' working quietly in the halls of academia?</p>\n<p>Who takes precedence, the theoretician or practitioner?</p>\n<p>Should teachers follow the theory espoused in formal literature, or is it just nonsense that is irrelevant to the lived experience of busy teachers?</p>\n<p>So, let\'s explore Tracy\'s comment by having the classroom teacher slug it out against the theoretician.</p>\n<h3>Round 1</h3>\n<p>Teacher: \"I\'m busy all day. I have up to 50 children around me at a time, sometimes more. They are demanding and often unruly. During class I have to give my full attention to the lesson and the students, and during my out-of-class time I\'m marking, preparing and building up steam for the next lesson. I don\'t have time to read academic monographs about post-test findings, z-scores, or the value of a universal grammar.</p>\n<p>I need to figure out what is going to make 5/4 interested in grammar, and how to manage that group of students at the back of the room in 4/9 who can\'t seem to take anything seriously. I need to understand why the system is treating me the way it is, and what my role is in a school which takes science and maths more seriously than language. I need to find out whether the children I\'m teaching will ever be interested in English, or if I\'m just wasting my time and energy. I want to know why I feel like my students ignore me but attend to the lessons of other teachers.</p>\n<p>If there is any literature to shine light on this, I don\'t have access to it, and what there is doesn\'t speak to me and my immediate problems.\"</p>\n<h3>Round 2</h3>\n<p>Professor: \"Teachers can feel the problems they face in the classrooms are insurmountable and overwhelming, and may feel that their problems are specific only to themselves. In fact, many teachers experience very similar challenges, and the same overarching questions apply to all classrooms.</p>\n<p>By taking a step back from the emotional tangle of the classroom, a researcher is able to look for patterns and identify solutions that may apply across all teachers. These theories can then be handed back to the teachers to apply in their classrooms.</p>\n<p>We can look at teachers who have overcome the challenges and try to spot ways in which their success can be transferred to other teachers who haven\'t. Academic literature has forged great developments in the way we educate: John Dewey changed the way the teacher is thought of as a professional; Friedrich Fr&ouml;bel wrote of the value of games in learning; Jean Piaget studied the stages of children\'s development; Lev Vygotsky identified how interaction leads to learning; Stephen Krashen is famous for his insights into the nature of language acquisition. Academics like these have made the job of teaching what it is today, and where would we be without them?\"</p>\n<h3>Round 3</h3>\n<p>Teacher: \"That\'s sounds reasonable: in theory. Do these theories cross all cultures, all classrooms, all teachers? Are you sure they are relevant to me in my daily work as a teacher? These ideas are simply presented to teachers as prescriptions in training programs but the reality of the classroom is a far cry from such idealistic verbosity.\"</p>\n<p>Professor: (chews on pipe reflectively) \"Well, as Widdowson argues in his ELTJ article in 1984, irrespective of how pressing the immediate problems they are facing, teachers\' techniques are all based on some principle which is accountable to theory.\"<br />Teacher: \"What you seem to fail to understand is ...\" (Fade out)</p>\n<p>Is there a winner?<br />Let\'s leave those two at it.</p>\n<p>Ironically perhaps, there is quite a large literature on link (or lack thereof) between theory and practice. Have a look at what Alan Maley <a href=\"http://www.hltmag.co.uk/jun16/mart01.htm\">says in support of Tracy\'s comment</a>&nbsp; and the subsequent responses from renowned authors like <a href=\"http://www.hltmag.co.uk/jun16/mart02.htm\">Penny Ur and Jim Scrivener</a>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I wonder, though, if theory and practice can really function without one another: classrooms are the focus of research (and theory), which can in turn inform teachers\' classroom practice.</p>\n<p>In the end, the fact that teachers like you and Tracy are reading the blogs on this site implies there may be value in finding out what other professionals think and say about classroom practice. That seems to me like a sensible way developing as a professional. The academic community may offer a service like this. Someone writes, and teachers read. Whether the teacher-reader should (or can, or wants to) follow the suggestions of the writer is not a given.</p>\n<p>I would argue that whether the content leads to immediate uptake by the teacher in the form of solutions or ideas is irrelevant - instead, as teachers read, they can start to draw connections, reflect on their own classrooms from a new perspective, and thus potentially strengthen their practice.</p>\n<p>Last word, if you are looking for even more interesting reading related to our work in the classroom, try the <a href=\"http://www.hltmag.co.uk/index.htm\">Humanising Language Teaching</a>&nbsp;magazine for teachers where Maley\'s critique of the value of research for teachers was published. It\'s free and includes pertinent articles and research, loads of ideas, classroom tips, and even a few jokes!</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>&nbsp;in Bangkok.</p>','','2018-03-04 15:57:31',1,'2018-03-04 15:57:31','2018-04-15 03:03:27'),(32226,10,'A long weekend in Penang','a-long-weekend-in-penang','I needed to bury all the bad memories I had of the place','Penang has now become a darling of the Thai travel forums.

Yes, it was time to give Penang another chance.','<p>You might say that by taking this trip I was burying ghosts from the past. I hadn\'t been to Penang, Malaysia for over 25 years and frankly, I had nothing but awful memories of the place.</p>\n<p>In the early 90s, if you lived in Thailand on a perpetual cycle of tourist visas, Penang was always a destination associated with &lsquo;visa runs\'. Oh, the agony of those long, overnight train journeys from Bangkok to Butterworth in a grubby, second-class sleeper carriage. The walk along Chulia Street and the search for some filthy, run-down budget hotel because it was all you could afford. And of course the niggling worry that the Thai Consulate in Penang would bring your stay in Thailand to an abrupt end because you had forgotten to bring a crucial document.</p>\n<p>A visa run to Penang was never something to be savoured. You effectively dropped off the radar for four days and just hoped that your teaching colleagues back in Bangkok would cover your lessons while you were away. And while you waited patiently to find out if the consulate had approved your application, you killed the time in Penang by nursing banana and peanut butter smoothies in some grotty backpacker cafe.</p>\n<p>I remember befriending a young French guy on my second ever Penang visa run. As we sipped a couple of mid-afternoon beers, he surveyed the scene around him, turned to me and in perfect English said \"I fucking hate Penang\". Those were pretty much my thoughts entirely.</p>\n<p>But many years later, Penang has now become a darling of the Thai travel forums. Travellers wax lyrical about an incredible selection of restaurants, the most amazing street art and plenty of attractions to keep any adventurous husband and wife occupied for a long weekend. Yes, it was time to give Penang another chance.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang1.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>For a three-night stay, we once again turned to Air BnB and booked a luxury (but very reasonably-priced) duplex apartment in an area referred to by locals as &lsquo;The Maritime Waterfront\'. Split-level with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a panoramic view of the harbour, what more could you wish for?</p>\n<p>The Maritime Waterfront - about three kilometres from Penang\'s capital, Georgetown - looks like a fairly recent development. The two apartment tower blocks (we were in Tower A) dominate the skyline and are no doubt chock-full of Air BnBs,  but at ground level there is a busy area of convenience stores, pubs, coffee shops and restaurants, including possibly the busiest branch of Starbucks I\'d ever seen.</p>\n<p>We didn\'t arrive at our accommodation until late afternoon so decided to spend our first evening just mooching around the vicinity. Despite a decent selection of restaurants in the neighborhood, we couldn\'t find anywhere offering Malay food - and we were most eager to sample perhaps a nasi goreng or a nasi lemak. There were plenty of Japanese, Korean and Thai options but not a Malay restaurant in sight. Disappointing to say the least.</p>\n<p>We opted for something Japanese and then enjoyed a stroll along the marina, all the while avoiding the numerous joggers taking advantage of the cooler evening hours.</p>\n<p>After just one evening exploring The Maritime Waterfront area, we felt we\'d pretty much exhausted that option. Let\'s be honest, Georgetown is where it\'s all happening and that\'s certainly where we planned to spend the majority of our time over the next couple of days.</p>\n<p>Everyone on the Thai travel forums recommends using Uber Taxis to get around the island and they were absolutely right! I\'m sure Penang has a wonderful public bus network but honestly, who could be bothered when you can download the Uber app and travel between your digs and Georgetown for sometimes as little as five Ringgits. The Uber fares were so ludicrously cheap, I began to wonder what the drivers got out of it. Did they just enjoy meeting strangers?</p>\n<p>The Penang Tourist Board (or whatever name they go under) produces a wonderful little map and guide to Georgetown and the guide highlights about 25 &lsquo;must sees\' that you can take in as you amble around this very &lsquo;walkable\' city. A mosque or a church here, a colonial building or some street art there. Just strap on your walking shoes and get ready for an attraction on every street corner. That\'s the theory anyway.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang2.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>After a brief stop at Chew Jetty, to see how the Chinese community live in stilt-houses built over the water, we started our walking tour in Georgetown\'s north-eastern corner.</p>\n<p>We ticked off the Queen Victoria Monument (nothing special) and Fort Cornwallis (admission far too pricey for what it was) We then took a photo in front of the Cenotaph and strolled past St George\'s Church.</p>\n<p>Four attractions under our belt from a list of twenty-five and we were already exhausted. You would think that living in Bangkok for so long, we could tolerate weather of any tropical nature, but Penang\'s heat is on another level. It was frying pan hot! My shirt became soaked to my skin and I lost the motivation to even get the map out of my pocket! My only thought was how on earth could people live, work and survive in such a furnace?</p>\n<p>By now we had walked as far as Little India (one of the Georgetown neighborhoods that I had most looked forward to) It was also lunchtime.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang3.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Many people on social media had given me suggestions on where to go to get the best Indian food in Little India. \"You\'ll love the tandoori chicken at the junction of (insert name of two streets) or \"you can eat cheaply at Rashid\'s opposite the clock tower\" I know folks mean well and I don\'t wish to sound ungrateful but when sweat is dripping from your forehead on to your walking boots, my only reaction is one of &lsquo;fuck that\'!\'. We dived into the first air-conditioned Indian we came across and the food was wonderful. We were warmly welcomed and our host guided us through the extensive menu and served us ice-cold mango lassis. My wife described it as &lsquo;the best Indian meal she had ever eaten\'. Not a bad endorsement.</p>\n<p>Having dried off in the air-conditioning and with full bellies, we strolled around the streets of Little India (it was a bit like being back in Birmingham) My wife admired the colourful saris, tried on some ostentatious jewelry and we bought some Bombay mix from a snack vendor who I had seen on a YouTube video.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang4.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>We were now in the centre of Georgetown and the area renown for its street art. There were, according to my map, at least twenty works of art in a square mile or so - some more famous than others. We managed to knock off three of the murals before the heat and humidity started to get the better of us once again. We desperately needed a plan B. Rickshaw driver! Over here!</p>\n<p>\"I will take you around and show you all the street art in just one hour\" said the friendly rickshaw driver, \"and I will advise you on how to get the best photo opportunities. Where to stand. How to pose. Know what I mean?\"</p>\n<p>It sounded just the ticket. I negotiated a price of 50 Malaysian Ringgit. Actually, that\'s not true. I didn\'t negotiate anything. I accepted the first price that came out of his mouth. He could have said 200 Ringgit and I would have clambered aboard his rickshaw and said &lsquo;what are we waiting for?\' I was too hot, tired and sweaty to enter into any sort of protracted conversation. Sometimes, travel does that to you I find.</p>\n<p>The rickshaw driver played a blinder. We got to see all the street art our hearts desired - man on motorcycle, girl on swing, etc - and we went home happy.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang5.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Later that evening, we returned to Georgetown and engaged in another futile search for Malaysian food (the three Malay hole-in-the-wall joints we went to apologised profusely for selling out and having nothing to offer us) So this time we did end up in the Indian tandoori restaurant that people had recommended to us on social media and it was superb. But two Indian meals in one day! Superheroes don\'t always wear capes you know.</p>\n<p>I knew there would be a price to pay and sure enough in the middle of the night, I woke up with an indigestion you could sell to science.</p>\n<p>Thankfully our second full day in Penang dawned grey and overcast and there was a significant drop in the temperature. Even just two or three degrees can feel &lsquo;significant\' in Malaysia</p>\n<p>My wife made the astute observation that any sightseeing, any walking around looking at churches, mosques and temples, really had to be done in the late afternoon or early evening once the sun had gone down but frankly, we weren\'t keen on that idea either. Learning our lessons from the previous day, we picked out a couple of fun museums to visit - The Wonderfood Museum and The Ghost Museum (both located in Georgetown).</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang6.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>Now I don\'t want to come across as a complete Philistine, but I\'m simply not a museum person. Not unless they are quirky, fun or macabre and can hold my attention for a full hour or two. You\'re looking at a man who has yawned his way through the Palace of Versailles in Paris and constantly scratched his arse during a tour of The Prado in Madrid. I couldn\'t give a monkey\'s who that 17th Century writing bureau belonged to and I\'ll pass on any opportunity to peer into King Louis\' piss-pot - but offer me a glimpse of a genuine hangman\'s noose or a working guillotine and you had better make way because I\'m coming through!</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang8.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>The Wonderfood Museum was out of this world. It offers visitors a kooky and in-depth look at Penang\'s unique food culture with larger-than-life displays of Malaysian dishes, lovingly handcrafted by the museum\'s owner, Sean Lao. The food displays are interesting enough but the museum\'s trump card is the opportunity to get dressed up in costume and take some truly memorable snaps. Pose in front of a display of Chinese dishes dressed as a traditional Chinaman or put on some chef\'s whites and become a pasta-tossing international chef of the year. This place was so much fun and we had it virtually to ourselves. Two hours just flew by!</p>\n<p><img height=\"600\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang7.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>&lsquo;Follow that!\' I thought as we stood outside Georgetown\'s Ghost Museum.</p>\n<p>Now, put a ghost museum in a city like London or Paris and punters would be lining up around the block to part with a hefty admission fee and the chance to shower the cash register with thousands of dollars in the gift shop, but yet again, it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The museum\'s rather tacky facade and its position in a row of shophouses on a nondescript side-street frankly did it few favours. It looked rather like one of those tatty ghost train rides that you see at British funfairs when its obvious the fixtures and fittings, as well as the staff, have all seen better days.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang9.jpg\" /></p>\n<p>But once inside the ghost museum, you can put all your scorn and low expectations to one side because it\'s splendid (ignore the miserable buggers on Trip Advisor) The museum is divided into five sections or countries with the chance to dress up and interact with famous story-book ghosts from the likes of Japan and Korea, etc. It\'s strange but horror films are my least favourite movie genre but give me the chance to don a blood-splattered lab coat and become a zombie doctor in an operating theatre from Hell and rather worryingly, I am in my element.</p>\n<p>The only &lsquo;mistake\' we made at The Ghost Museum was engaging the services of a guide. After we had paid for our tickets at the entrance, we were approached by a young Malay girl wearing the traditional hijab. She introduced herself as a staff member and offered to accompany us around the museum and point interesting things out and tell us how to take the best photos. There was no charge for this &lsquo;extra service\' so what harm could it do?</p>\n<p>Five minutes in and I felt like adding her to one of the exhibits. She had the personality of a wet dish-rag and brought the sum total of zero to the occasion. Virtually every costume or set of clothes that my wife and I put on to make our photos more interesting, we had spied lying on a chair or hanging behind a door - not because our guide had pointed them out. She couldn\'t be arsed with doing anything that would possibly make our visit to The Ghost Museum more special. In fact, she only sparked into life at the end of the tour when we reached the ubiquitous gift shop, where I have little doubt she was on a commission for every overpriced t-shirt sold.</p>\n<p><img height=\"600\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang10.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>And while I\'m in the mood for trashing museum staff - and this happened in both the Wonderfood Museum and Ghost Museum - isn\'t it about time we ditched the official photographer who follows you around with his big lens, clicking away in the futile hope that at some later stage, you\'re going to part with serious cash for one of his photos mounted in a shitty plastic frame and bearing the timeless legend &lsquo;I was spooked to death at The Ghost Museum, Penang\'. I mean, have a word with yourself. We can all take far better pictures than you with our mobile phones. You\'re basically just a waste of oxygen.</p>\n<p>But so to our very last night in Penang and we were two men on a mission. We were going to track down some tasty Malaysian food if it was the last thing we ever did. Up to this point, we\'d just been unlucky. We &lsquo;d simply been in the wrong places at the wrong time.</p>\n<p><img height=\"600\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/penang11.jpg\" width=\"1440\" /></p>\n<p>My internet research was constantly coming up with open-air hawker centres and food courts as being the most recommended places to eat proper Malay food but in nearly all cases, the writer advised any enthusiastic and hungry foodie to get there early before all the seats were taken. By now, it was already quite late in the evening and an Uber taxi to some unknown hawker centre on the edge of town felt like way too much of a gamble.</p>\n<p>My wife found a place online called the Mews Cafe, not far from Fort Cornwallis in Georgetown.  A full traditional Malay menu in ambient surroundings, live acoustic guitar music, gurgling fountains, solid reviews on Trip Advisor. Let\'s get in that taxi!</p>\n<p>The Mews Cafe was delightful even though the dishes certainly were not what you\'d call &lsquo;on the cheap side\'. We told the cheerful waitress about our ongoing quest for Malay food and she heartily recommended both a beef and a chicken dish. \"You must try our banana fritters as well for dessert\" she said, \"they are the speciality of the house\".</p>\n<p>We ordered a couple of Tiger beers and kicked back to the soothing sounds of the acoustic guitar duo.</p>\n<p>When our main meals arrived, they were......they were OK. I suppose when you\'ve craved something and built it up in your mind for so long, it often ends in disappointment. At risk of upsetting millions of Malaysians here, I do wonder if perhaps Malay cuisine has aspirations and dreams of being Indian food one day. But the banana fritters were magnificent by the way.</p>\n<p>So thank you Penang for allowing me to see you in a very different light to those visa run days many years ago.

Idiots!</p>\n<p><strong>Farangs missing from islands.</strong><br />According to the Facebook page that his sister has set up, Chris called home on Sunday to say he was &lsquo;skint but in good spirits\' but since then the family has heard nothing.

But I feel enormous sympathy for Dennis and Beryl back home in Stoke-on-Trent, as they sit in their immaculate semi-detached retirement home, and instead of enjoying their golden years, they are paralyzed with worry and faced with the task of having to raise seventy large to pay their son\'s hospital bills.</p>\n<p><strong>Pattaya balcony jumpers.</strong><br />Morrissey once said that suicide was admirable and everyone thinks about it - even people who \"mistakenly assume they are happy\". I totally agree. I always applaud the bravery of anyone who decides to check out early for whatever reason. And you deserve a far better ending than as some pixelated mess surrounded by grinning ghouls and &lsquo;pointers\'.</p>\n<p><strong>Operation \'Black Butterfly Net\' on Soi Nana.</strong><br />When the authorities make dozens of arrests in some red-light area in the early hours of the morning, there are no prizes for guessing the nationalities. Could this be you? Well, one glance at the cover and colour of your passport is probably all the risk assessment you need.</p>\n<p><strong>Pattaya swindlers and dodgy realtors.</strong><br />How does the saying go? - for every sucker born, there are two people born to take him. Welcome to Pattaya - where often the biggest enemies are your own kind.</p>\n<p><strong>Rich people getting away with murder.</strong><br />I\'m not really sure why we even have lawyers other than to make excuses to the judge as to why their client can\'t make it today.</p>\n<p><strong>Hare-brained schemes to turn Bangkok \'green\'</strong><br />Let\'s hear it for environmentally-friendly green zones in the middle of the central business district with bicycle lanes and quaint wooden trams and wide pedestrianized boulevards lined with shrubs. Oh Bangkok, you\'re not Copenhagen or Vienna. And really, we don\'t mind, honestly. We can always get on a plane and go to those places if we want.</p>\n<p><strong>Competitions to find Thailand\'s best travel blogger.</strong><br />Seriously, in the murky clickbait world of the internet, how many websites are doing this now? And just to clarify, have I got more chance of winning if I can somehow slot in &lsquo;assault on the senses\', &lsquo;a myriad of colours\' or &lsquo;cosmopolitan melting pot\'?</p>\n<p><strong>Mass brawls in Pattaya involving shaven-headed, muscular Russian women.</strong><br />&lsquo;Beer in, sense out\'.

Or you could do as smart people do and just not go.</p>\n<p><strong>Laws that are brought in and last barely 30 days.</strong><br />No more riding motorcycles on the footpath. Motorists must now stop at zebra crossings if there are pedestrians waiting to cross. In a country with a population of 69 million people, when 68 million think the law doesn\'t apply to them, you\'ve got the square root of no chance.</p>\n<p><strong>Airport immigration queues.</strong><br />Expect the worst but be pleasantly surprised if there\'s a row of immigration officers all looking for something to do. Get to the airport three hours before your flight leaves and make sure your smartphone is fully charged. That two hours spent in a queue that snakes out of the departure terminal and back again will just fly by.</p>\n<p><strong>Chiang Mai\'s 10 best of whatever.</strong><br />Ten coffee shops where you can nurse a solitary iced latte for three hours without being hassled by the staff?

What else can you say?</p>\n<p><strong>Why it\'s so hard for Western women to date in Thailand.</strong><br />It\'s only what I\'ve heard but your average local filly will give you a night of passion you\'ll never forget and still find the energy in the morning to knock off a big bag of ironing.

And look at the way they\'ve got the froth on my cappuccino to resemble a fully-grown mountain lion.</p>\n<p><strong>A capsized ferry that dumps 30 tourists into the water.</strong><br />When your captain is wearing an alice band and flip-flops, there\'s an overpowering stench of diesel fuel, and you only paid 50 baht for a return ticket, well honestly, what did you expect?</p>\n<p><strong>Chinese boy takes a shit in the middle of a shopping mall. </strong><br />No, I don\'t think Chinese tour groups should be allowed to travel anywhere either. In fact, show me a petition and I\'ll sign it.</p>\n<p><strong>Thai guy holds up a 7-11 / gold shop at gunpoint. </strong><br />Have you seen this man? Hang on, let me have a look at his photofit. Actually, yes I have. He looks like every single Thai man I know.</p>\n<p><strong>Most threads on expat forums. </strong><br />If Frank\'s misunderstanding of how his double-entry tourist visa worked has resulted in a 10-year overstay, then I\'m sure Frank is big and ugly enough to deal with it without a hundred board members calling him a plonker and asking how he likes his prison food. If Terry from Gravesend wants to put his condo in the name of Pom from Pussy Paradise despite only knowing her a fortnight, then leave him be. &lsquo;Our Terry\' and thousands of others like him, are all part of life\'s rich tapestry.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>The best burger in Bangkok</strong><br />While you\'re getting in a right old mess with your USA smokey prime-beef triple-decker house special and most of the contents have either ended up in your lap or on the floor, I\'ll be in McDonalds if you need me.

Providing a major reason for both the <a href=\"https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-news/756536/thai-english-proficiency-drops-now-3rd-worst-in-asia-ef\">poor attainment of foreign language levels</a> in Thailand compared to the rest of Asia and helping to produce a replica western generation.</p>\n<h3>Understanding the system</h3>\n<p>The phrases, &lsquo;creating learning cultures\' and &lsquo;effective teaching\' assume total student commitment to learning and aim at perfecting a system of behaviour in which this occurs. Yet conversely, if all wanted to learn there wouldn\'t be a need for class management.</p>\n<p>Only a few decades ago, a common knowledge consensus about streaming agreed that certain students naturally adapt to academia, yet others to the arts or trades which require different skill sets. Moreover, the students who fail in one discipline often excel in another, yet with the onset of equality all now succeed in everything, with added expertise at the click of a mouse.</p>\n<p>As the TEFL community eagerly await the practical answer to Thai class management, the continuing silence of progressive educational experts becomes self-explanatory. Class management, although employing techniques, isn\'t so much a process as a mind-set requiring a separate skill set from that of delivery, a point often missed in progressive education orthodoxy. Nevertheless, let\'s briefly state three practical examples.</p>\n<h3>Ban mobile phones</h3>\n<p>Let\'s begin with a truism; the best educator in the world is unable to compete against Facebook and Twitter. Don\'t even think about it and therefore start by removing the cause to eliminate the competition, which remains standard practice elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Banning mobile phones in the classroom initially produces effects similar to being taken off life support, yet generates immediate positive results. The usual suggested ground rules of clapping your hands for silence and expecting positive results based on the belief that 16 year old testosterone fuelled teens hooked on Facebook will suddenly behave as responsible mature adults is about as naively optimistic as it gets.</p>\n<p>Similarly, asking the school to intervene in discipline issues is a wasted endeavour as they haven\'t a clue either and it\'s why they hired a foreigner, in the forlorn hope that if all else fails you\'ll substitute the missing entertainment link.</p>\n<h3>Target your audience</h3>\n<p>Begin by understanding your audience. There\'s a reason the teenage group remains attracted to quickly changing images and consequently, why the average attention span equals that of a goldfish.</p>\n<p>Learn to spot the glazed expression, fidgeting, the rising noise levels and act on it. Introduce participation requiring a collectivized response to save face; boys v girls for instance, a like for a correct answer and an unfriend for wrong. Who voluntarily wants to be unfriended?!</p>\n<p>Additionally, hangman or guessing games such as &lsquo;I spy\' provide ideal starters. Don\'t introduce activities because they\'re fashionable; use them as a double edge sword to achieve class management, as well as learning.</p>\n<h3>Stand and deliver</h3>\n<p>Organize your lessons around age related topics. Learn to disguise English grammar using food, travel, mobile phones or music. With a little ingenuity, it\'s amazing the amount of grammar and conversation squeezed out of a simple phrase such as, &lsquo;I love French fries.\'</p>\n<p>One of my original favourites included silence. When the noise levels initially began to rise I\'d stop, sit down and pick up a book. As the speaking ended, rows of faces suddenly become attentive wondering why and it\'s then that I\'d quietly explained that the lesson comes first and every noise interruption decreases the topic related ten minute Mr. Bean video at the end by one minute.</p>\n<p>Invariably, as the best punch lines occur at the end, the groan as the class came to an end half-way through the video wasn\'t usually repeated the following week, proving that memory retention remains alive and kicking.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Summary</h3>\n<p>Yes, it\'s hard work. Faking it by going through the motions becomes obvious both to the school and students and arguably the reason behind the high staff turnover in a majority of schools.</p>\n<p>Previously, education revolved around teaching; in today\'s world it\'s about reducing your own stress levels to prevent a burn out resembling a nervous breakdown!</p>\n<p>Did that book you read last week fail to provide the answers to class management?

The chance to work and meet people from so many countries has improved me as a teacher and allowed me to learn a lot about other cultures.','<p>Something I have really enjoyed about working in TEFL in Thailand is the chance to meet and work with colleagues from all over the world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before moving to Thailand I worked for a London based travel company where pretty much everyone was British. However, my London house share saw me live with people from Portugal, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Finland, Estonia, France and Malaysia, which was a great experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The idea of moving to work in Thailand was formed through talking with these people who had left their home countries to live and work abroad.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Celta trainees</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Like many new TEFL teachers my first step was to get a teaching qualification. I opted to do my CELTA in Bangkok and out of the 12 trainees 6 nationalities were represented. My research into the TEFL industry had given me ideas that only teachers of certain nationalities are considered native speakers. However, our class had a 50/50 split between native and non-native speakers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first morning was spent getting to know each other and I enjoyed speaking with the trainees from Bulgaria, India and Thailand who all wanted to get qualified. All trainees gave good advice but it was from the non-native speakers that I got the greatest insight. They told us about problems language learners face. Their real examples and ideas helped in those first few months of teaching.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Thai trainee was my greatest resource when it came to stepping into the classroom for the first time. She told me about the problems Thai students have with English and these insights turned out to be true.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I observed her teach I could see she really understood the students and could anticipate how they would react and what problems they would have in every activity. Sure, you can learn about this through years of experience in Thailand but to have someone like her on my course really helped me to get through the teaching sessions in my CELTA.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>The untrained American high school teachers</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In a brief three-month period teaching in a Thai high school I worked with three American teachers and an Australian. None of them had had any TEFL training other than a one-day training course run by our agency. I felt it was difficult to use many of the techniques I had learned from my CELTA and could see these teachers were not planning classes and seemed confused when classes didn\'t go well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was one thing I really did learn from them and that was how to have fun in the classroom. None of them were staying in Thailand for a career. They were on gap years and just came to enjoy themselves. In all honesty I thought at the time that they were letting the students down but in the end when you have 50+ students in a class you cant expect they will learn much anyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I observed a couple of these teachers and the American women I worked with had a great rapport with the students. They were able to create a fun atmosphere and maybe they didn\'t have lesson aims or communicative activities but the kids did enjoy the classes. I changed the way I approached teaching large high school classes because of this and in the end felt I delivered more valuable lessons.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although I did enjoy the job more after changing my teaching style I knew that I wanted to be more than a class clown and needed to change to teaching in a different environment. Those three months of partying after school and traveling on weekends were fun but I knew I couldn\'t sustain it if I wanted to be here long-term.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Working with Thai staff</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Whatever type of school you work with in Thailand there will be Thai staff. There can be language and cultural issues for sure but there are staff who choose to work in these companies because they enjoy speaking English and want to work in an international environment.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I worked for three years in one of the most well-known language schools in Thailand. In our centre there were around 25 Thai staff and 10 foreigners. The Thai staff were all at least intermediate speakers and many were pretty much fluent. Between them they knew all the students and would give teachers feedback and advice about them. They would come in at the end of lessons and support you as a teacher when giving feedback and error correction to low level students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can work with Thai colleagues like these then you will have a great experience. They are invaluable to help you with work but also many are keen to socialize after work and help you. I can honestly say that the Thai colleagues I had at that job were among the kindest, most helpful Thai people I have met.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One aspect I also learned from working with these Thai staff is that they would very rarely say no to their bosses. They would stay many hours after work unpaid whereas management accepted foreign staff would never do this. However, I would see that lot of the time rather than being grumpy about this they would find a way to make this extra work fun and things often turned into a mini party. It made me more positive to helping out and joining these activities just because the people seemed to have fun.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Getting your visa and work permit is always a big issue for foreign teachers. Thai HR staff tend to drive me a bit crazy. Either a lack of urgency or inability to communicate can cause issues. HR staff usually graduate from a business related degree and can have a limited knowledge of English. In the end they get the job done and I guess I can thank them for teaching me patience!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many companies use a visa agent to get things done. My old school had a guy named Ton who looked after visas, work permits etc. Everyone in our company loved him. He was good at English and knew how teachers felt about the process at immigration. He would get us to the front of the queue and out of there within 30 minutes every year. Honestly, he made the process so easy and is the sort of guy you need to see if your company has. If you have a guy like him he is worth his weight in gold to help you and put your faith back in humanity after dealing with Chaenwattana immigration.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Thai managers</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In my job in London at a travel agency I had some great bosses. I felt like a learned a lot and there were 2 official performance reviews during the year. I would also get a lot of informal feedback on a weekly basis. In Thailand I have had very mixed relationships with my managers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Thai management at the high school I worked at couldn\'t speak more than a few words of English. After an observation the feedback I received was \"Very good, play more games.\" To be honest the management usually left us alone at the high school and communicated to us via our agency. Working at a Thai high school you shouldn\'t expect a great deal of feedback or development opportunities partly due to language hurdles but also that most management are happy to have teachers and don\'t want to alter the status quo.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a previous language school job I had a Thai manager who was great. She could speak very good English and was more internationalized. This meant she could speak to teachers on a friendly basis, not just about work. She wasn\'t trained as a teacher but had a background in business. I really respected what she had to say. She was a big reason I stayed in that job for three years. I had a few problems at work and she was the first to stand up for me and try to solve them. In the end she left and a lot of people followed her shortly after.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a part time job I had in the past the Thai manager had lived in America for a year so was good at understanding cultural issues and the language. She was quite forthright and didn\'t hold back. A lot of my colleagues back then weren\'t used to having a strong Thai female boss. She sacked a long-time employee on the spot which kept everyone else in line! She was a good decision maker which is something I respect in a boss.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall there are some great Thai bosses who you can learn from but also those who are either terrible at their job or can\'t communicate in English. If you can find a job with an internationalized Thai boss or one who has lived overseas then you will get a lot of cultural insights and good feedback.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Half-Thai boss</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>One of my previous bosses was half Thai, half American. The benefit was that he could speak both languages fluently and understood cultural issues from Thai and foreign staff. He gave good monthly training sessions discussing problems Thai students had and how we could resolve these. He understood that feedback was important and set up regular observations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One thing I did see is that he would have issues with Thai staff more often than the previous manager who was Thai. Maybe that he enforced English as the only language in the workplace didn\'t help but he never quite won over the Thai staff.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Western bosses</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In total I have had four western bosses during my time in Thailand. All of them have been British. I have also had team leaders, some of whom were American.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was really excited to have a western boss but so far only two have been good.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first boss had been in the job a long time and the problem was she had reached as high as she could in the company so didn\'t care much. Professional development was poor and observations didn\'t happen after my first six months at the company. You can see quite quickly here in Thailand who cares about their job. Managers should be someone you look up to but she was my anti-role model, I knew I should never get that complacent.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another boss had been working in Thailand for over 25 years but had so much energy. I only worked for him for a month but he gave great ideas and feedback in that short time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just from these two examples you can see that bosses can either motivate and encourage you or cause you to become complacent. After three years in my old job I knew I had to move as the boss there was not challenging me, they lulled me into their feelings about not caring. I had lost a lot of passion for teaching and needed someone who could help me. Now I\'m a lot happier and things are improving.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In general, I have found that the better quality schools do tend to have more accountability. They make managers do observations and give proper feedback.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Foreign teaching colleagues</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In my three language school jobs I have worked with teachers from the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, USA, Canada and Myanmar. They helped me to develop through the sharing of ideas and teaching methods they had honed from their time teaching.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Working with American teachers helped me to develop my vocabulary of American English and I\'m sure I helped them in return with British English. Many countries have different words and idioms and I have been able to use these in classrooms. One teacher who had lived in New Zealand and Australia gave great insight into local slang and it was something the students loved learning about too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have also had the chance to work with Filipino teachers in a previous part time job. They have all been very jolly and it was a benefit to work with them just to steal some of their energy in the classroom! I have also found that most Filipino teachers I have worked with are very professional and well qualified. They helped me step-up my performance and commitment to teaching.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to teaching ability then I believe observations are key to keep you improving. The chance to observe teachers from different countries has allowed me to think of more creative lessons and to use techniques they were taught in their own country. I have also benefited from their feedback when observing me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I am now in a job where there are monthly meetings where teachers present ideas and we invite specialists in to give presentations and training. The chance to listen to teachers from America, Australia and New Zealand this year has really helped me develop and find out about teaching resources which are popular in those countries.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is also interesting just speaking to and knowing people from around the world. I honestly think it is very difficult to have a true Thai friend. Meeting other expats here with a western background is much easier.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Socialising</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m not the most social guy but I have enjoyed hanging out with foreign colleagues after work. American colleagues have shown me great burger bars, Thai colleagues know where the most beautiful temples and hidden restaurants are and Australians have come with me to watch cricket and rugby in Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In London I could have met people from these countries but here it is so much easier to do so. I still enjoy going to the pub and watching football with English friends and colleagues but I like the variety I get here too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you arrive here on your own to work then your colleagues are likely to be the first people you get to know in Thailand. A lot of people are in the same boat and bonds can quickly form. It seems I celebrate a lot more festivals now with invites to join friends for events like Thanksgiving and Loy Krathong. This is not something directly linked to teaching but is an added bonus of moving abroad and getting to know people from other countries.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>And a few problems</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As I already mentioned there can be language related difficulties. With Thai staff this could be expected but I have had problems with other teachers too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are differences between British and American English which have left students confused when I have told them they are wrong on a point which an American has taught them. There are also times where students have been taught incorrect grammar or vocabulary by both native and non-native teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My current staffroom is great, we have a mix of five nationalities and everyone gets on well. In the past I was in a job where all of a sudden I was the only non-American on the teaching staff. Whilst it didn\'t cause huge problems I did feel a little left out as they spoke about obscure American topics and politics.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m a chatty guy in the office and it left me not being able to join in the conversation, I really missed having another British person there to talk about common topics.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>I love the international environment</strong></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, I really enjoy having a true international environment at work. The chance to work and meet people from so many countries has improved me as a teacher and allowed me to learn a lot about other cultures.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There will always be cultural or language issues but the benefits far outweigh these when you get the right job. As I said previously your manager can make a big difference and a lot of schools have problems communicating with foreign staff which can create tension.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you can find a school with good management and clear communication, then you are on to a winner.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Just out of interest, what are some of the things that contribute to such a condition? I\'d very much like to avoid them if possible\"</p>\n<p>Cheers. Sadie.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Well, let\'s ask some teachers.</p>\n<p><strong>Khru Pete</strong> says \"I tell all the new teachers at my school to be flexible. You are in Thailand so don\'t expect things to run any way but the Thai way. You\'re not going to change it, so go with the flow, not against it.</p>\n<p><strong>Buk</strong> also has some direct advice. \"Live a balanced lifestyle, don\'t neglect your health and go out on the piss too often. Hit the gym as often as you can\"</p>\n<p>It\'s all about a work / life balance according to <strong>James</strong> too. \"Only work 5 days a week and try and keep your workload to a maximum of 22 contact hours (depending on how much planning is required) Keep fit and don\'t take the school issues home with you. Your biggest issues may be with people who seemingly don\'t know anything about TEFL or teaching but still tell you what to do. Also don\'t say \'yes\' to every request. That\'s a trick that employers play (you usually don\'t get any more money for it either). Do things and acept more work on your terms. Meet people and don\'t drink too much because teaching with a hangover is terrible. I also keep fit. There are loads of 10k runs in Thailand that you can paticipate in.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Frustrations are always likely to creep in according to <strong>Kenneth</strong>. \"Professionally, many a time you will have great ideas with the best of intentions (with the students in mind) and you will be told no (repeatedly) by your bosses. You will be asked to do things that make little or no sense and your opinion, no matter who good it is, will be disregarded because you aren\'t Thai. Thais most of the time have their way of doing things (even though detrimental to their goals) and most refuse to change. Personally, it is easy to party and go boozing on a daily basis and some teachers do start doing that\"</p>\n<p>\"Teaching the same level for many years can often lead to burnout\" reckons <strong>Bernard</strong>. \"In addition you have unruly students, a poor syllabus or a complete lack of syllabus, unsupportive management, no Thai teacher present when you teach, lack of resources, homesickness. The list is endless\"</p>\n<p>\"Knowing how to disengage from work\" is the key says <strong>Rich</strong>. \"The best advice i can give is to plan well and be organized (get a routine where you are at work early in the morning and keeping on top of the workload). Expect that you will make mistakes, and don\'t beat yourself up when they do happen. Set achieveable / realistic goals, and really think hard about the way you can best achieve them. Also just try and enjoy the experience. As a plus, avoid taking on extra / private classes too soon. The extra time needed to prep for them and actually teach them can and does take its toll\"</p>\n<p><strong>Teacher Jey</strong> has a personal experience to relate. \"At my former school in Pattaya, I had one particular student called Federica. She was a half Italian/Russian girl who spoke several languages. She was 10 years old but stuck in Pratom 2 with a class of 8-year olds. She always did her homework, classwork, spellings, always asked if she could help in any way and always helped her classmates who struggled. Federica was the archetypical perfect student. Only she was held back two grades because her Thai language was deemed insufficient (this being an \"international\" school). These faceless school officials who\'d never set foot in a class decided this girl was too stupid to be in her own grade based on stupid numbers on paper. The foreign teachers continuously objected to no avail. The biggest problem many foreign teachers face is \"white knight syndrome\" - going with the best of intentions, thinking they can change or \"save\" these kids from their oppressive culture somehow or change Thailand and their ways. The big barrier comes when you realise that no matter how hard you try, you won\'t make a difference. I find those teachers are the quickest to burn out\"</p>\n<p><strong>Jim</strong> also puts the blame on school admin. \"Mostly it\'s the administrators of the school for which you work and basically anyone there who has power over you. You can\'t avoid them and you might well grow to despise them if you are not careful\"</p>\n<p>\"For me burnout meant teaching too many hours and having to create my own new curricula for 6 grades\" says <strong>Cassandra</strong>. \"I was given no assistance in the classroom and received no feedback. No one monitored my lessons or commented on them either critically or positively. Having to do extra activities at weekends for not enough pay was another factor. Also the Thai teachers not talking to me at school (I speak Thai). They avoided me. I am the only foreigner at my school and have been for six years. How did I manage the burnout? Being organised, flexible, prepared to change last minute, taking my relationships with my students more seriously than with the teachers, implementing really fun lessons and projects and displaying them around the school feeling proud of my students as well as myself and finally ...... not taking work home, sleeping and eating well - and taking holidays!</p>\n<p><strong>Matthew</strong> has some direct advice for when it comes to avoiding the dreaded burnout - \"recognise who pays your salary and do what they want you to do\"&nbsp;</p>\n<p><strong>Liam</strong> sums things up in one word - \"Perspective!\"</p>\n<hr />\n<p>Have you suffered from teacher burnout?

Just recently, I\'ve been seeing a lot of comments about the different ways that teachers tackle the problems they have with class disruptions.</p>\n<p>Whether it\'s the use of mobile phones, a wisecracking comedian sitting at the back or the general lack of group motivation to learn what you are trying to teach, there are better ways to get the job done when someone misbehaves.</p>\n<p>New teachers may find these ideas harder to jump on board with but you might consider them, as you start out in your new positions.</p>\n<p>I\'m not an \'expert\' on this matter but I am \'qualified\' to express an opinion. I\'ve been teaching for blah blah blah... So, even if you don\'t agree, then this is something you can add to your arsenal of things NOT to pay any attention to.</p>\n<p><strong>The Rules Of Life.</strong></p>\n<p>Classrooms have rules. In most textbooks aimed at young learners, the first page or two is devoted to them. The older they get, the less those rules need to be spelt out and taught because students will know what they are... but the older the students get, the less they like playing by any set of rules.</p>\n<p>In life, most humans go through progressions of attitude in this order: Obedience - resistance - disobedience - conformity. These stages can hit at any age but the worst \'progression\' type to teach is the \'disobedience\' one!</p>\n<p>In Thailand, the hill is especially high because we live in a culture where rules about anything aren\'t taken very seriously, no matter how dire the consequences of ignoring them are. The rules of the road are a good example of this. This means that kids who go astray in your eyes don\'t see their misbehaviour as particularly serious. In Thailand, rules really are meant to be broken!</p>\n<p><strong>The Rules Of Your Classroom.</strong></p>\n<p>Confrontational students are an unavoidable fact of life for even the best teachers, especially at the high school level. Yet, other things in life have rules, too. The kids have rules at home which they have to follow. The video games they play also have rigid rules they need to pay attention to. Even eating in a restaurant has a set of rules that needs to be followed. A classroom is no different to any other social engagement that kids face during their young lives.</p>\n<p><strong>In Conclusion...</strong></p>\n<p>Before I go into a more lengthy and detailed account of some (hopefully) useful suggestions, I\'ll do a quick summary here. Remember this following statement and write it on your bathroom mirror (in shaving cream or lipstick) so you see it every morning when you brush your teeth...</p>\n<p>\"I am the responsible adult at work and I am super-patient because I was not brought up the same way as my students were.\"</p>\n<p>If the maxim above makes perfect sense and you are already living it, you can skip the rest! You\'re already doing a good job!</p>\n<p><strong>The Stuff That Should Have Preceded The Conclusion...</strong></p>\n<p>There are a few things that we can do to minimize disruptions. A couple of obvious and academic ones are:</p>\n<p>Know your subject... because it will give you confidence. Even though you won\'t share everything you know, you can cope with the subject matter at least!</p>\n<p>Well thought out lesson plans, of course, are good. Winging your way through hours of teaching is tiring and makes you look awful!</p>\n<p>Explaining to the class what you\'re doing and why, is also important. Kids want to know what\'s going on and why they are doing what you want them to do.</p>\n<p>These things are teaching basics - but they don\'t really provide options when things don\'t go to plan.</p>\n<p><strong>When The Unexpected Happens...</strong></p>\n<p>All experienced teachers will agree that we should set the tone of our teaching styles from the first moment we become their teacher. You are the responsible adult and you are in control of their behaviour - except for when you aren\'t...</p>\n<p>Is there a way to engage with a \'naughty\' student that won\'t make them feel stupid? Perhaps a \'one on one\' chat after the class will make their behaviour better in the future. It\'s better to have the worst behaving students on your side if you can manage it.</p>\n<p>Many teachers (according to their online comments) seem to think that humiliation tactics work well with disruptive students. It doesn\'t... ever! Sometimes, I think that teachers deliberately set out to cause students to \'lose face\' as some kind of revenge - which brings me to...</p>\n<p><strong>It\'s not personal.</strong></p>\n<p>It\'s never personal... unless you make it so. Thai kids enjoy school. They aren\'t resentful about being there. Join in their Thai spirit of \'Bon Vivre\'! Your heart will thank you for it. Disruptions aren\'t normally meant to be personally disrespectful to you. (If they are, this is something that you really must sort out with your boss. But these instances are extremely rare in Thailand.)</p>\n<p><strong>A Change Of Plans.</strong></p>\n<p>When a disruption in the class breaks your train of thought, is there a way to use it to create a mini \'lesson\'? Can you sidetrack from your sweat-stained lesson plan and be diverted into adopting the negative distraction and turning it into something interesting for the whole class? It\'s a dignified and \'professional\' way to diffuse a situation.</p>\n<p><strong>Failure Is An Option!</strong></p>\n<p>Let\'s be honest, for 90% of your kids, learning English is about as useful to them as learning French. Resist getting annoyed or worked up when they just don\'t get what you\'re teaching. Either keep at it slowly and patiently or move on. Kids will pick up on your moods. If you\'re sulking, the good kids that are making an effort feel inadequate and the bad ones are gloating.</p>\n<p><strong>Learn What\'s His Name\'s Name. </strong></p>\n<p>This is an especially powerful tool for your worst students. Oh, boy, never underestimate the power of knowing a student\'s name if you want them to pay attention! If you can learn their full Thai name, even better! Keep a cheat sheet of names.</p>\n<p><strong>Delegate Your Cold Stares.</strong></p>\n<p>Let the good students do the \'cold stares\' for you. In my experience, students know exactly what\'s going on around them in the classroom. About half of them (mostly the girls) will be on your side wanting a normal classroom experience and the other half (the boys) will be looking for an opening where they can exhibit their rebelliousness. Quite often, it will be the other students who can do your job for you, in calming down a situation.</p>\n<p><strong>Keep Your Cool!</strong></p>\n<p>Always keep your cool. A temporary solution to unruly classroom antics is to shout it down. It may be a battle you win, but in the long term, it\'s a war you\'ve lost. You\'re the responsible adult in the room and the good students need to see that - when you are dealing with the bad ones. Talk to your unruly students after the class and try to win them over with a chat. If a kid is gagging for attention at school he\'s not getting it at home.</p>\n<p><strong>Don\'t Play Their Games.</strong></p>\n<p>One thing that has worked occasionally for me is to walk away from a situation. But everyone has to see you do it. I have broken away from a class to march right up to a student... wait a couple of seconds while the class hushes into nervous silence... and then turned away and continued teaching the class as if nothing had happened. That one\'s quite good fun to do if you can pull it off! Sometimes when you react in the opposite way to what your students are expecting, it can diffuse a situation.</p>\n<p>It happened to me once, too. In the summer of 1976, I was revising for my \'O\' Levels and having a crafty cigarette in my dorm. (Yeah, boarding school.) Mr Wilson (nickname Tank because he was a giant of a man and the strictest history teacher on the planet) clunked his way through the corridor, doing his rounds. I heard him coming and chucked my fag out the window and wafted the curtains to try and dispel the smoke. He marched in - smelled the smoke and bellowed \"Exercising your lungs, Newman?\" - he laughed, turned around and marched off. I could have been expelled! But the opposite of what I was expecting happened. I liked him an awful lot more after that!</p>\n<p><strong>Make Notes.</strong></p>\n<p>Detailed evidence trumps general accusations when a student persistently loses control. It might be a good idea to keep a class journal that details incidents of bad behaviour that you can point to if things get away from you and you are held to account by your boss or by parents in the future! I haven\'t done this but I worked with a teacher who did. He made a big show of it too, scribbling notes in front of his classes.</p>\n<p><strong>Appeal To Their Vanity.</strong></p>\n<p>All kids like to be praised, even (especially) the difficult ones. \"Look, you\'re a smart kid... I know you are better than this. Let\'s work together so we all  help each other get through the day.\" Harder to say if you don\'t speak Thai or their English is rubbish! Maybe get a Thai teacher to sit in on this with you. Then, at least you\'ve noticed them for something other than the bad stuff, right?</p>\n<p><strong>Summary two!</strong></p>\n<p><strong></strong>Just a few ideas of my own that have been swimming around in my mind to counteract some of the teachers who have been promoting some rather passive aggressive alternatives to classroom discipline! A lot of successful teaching methods won\'t come from books or training... and they aren\'t always coming from your fellow teachers either! It\'s your own common sense, your patience and your instincts that will make or break you and reward your students.</p>\n<p>You\'re their teacher, not their boss. You are the responsible adult at work and you are super-patient because you were not brought up the same way as your students were.</p>\n<p>If the absolute worst happens and you really are at the end of your tether, it\'s best to just shoot them and flee the country... this takes a lot of planning ahead which I\'ll be detailing in a future article!</p>','','2018-03-31 17:50:52',1,'2018-03-31 17:50:52','2018-04-01 15:03:53'),(32248,52,'April 2018','april-2018','Take your TEFL course with one of Thailand\'s major course providers.','This month there are special offers and promotions from courses in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin, Pattaya and Koh Samui.

These 16 year olds were all waiting for me to say or do something and I felt rather nervous and even a little shy.</p>\n<p>How pathetic was I? 45 years old, and with plenty of life experience and travelling under my belt, how could I feel this way in front of children who had most probably never left the country of their birth?</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Hello Students!\'</p>\n<p>I prayed that my greeting would be reciprocated and was so happy when they all replied.</p>\n<p>Then a voice at the back barked out, &lsquo;All stand up!\'</p>\n<p>And they did.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Good Morning Teacher, how are you?\' I was on a roll here.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;I am fine students, how are you?\'</p>\n<p>&lsquo;We are fine!\'</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Please sit down.\' And they did.</p>\n<p>Well, this was going far better than I had expected.

It wasn\'t easy because the desks were so close together, I had difficulty squeezing through the gaps. I then  wrote the 5 questions on the board.  I was pleased that although Mustafa hadn\'t yet returned, within a few minutes the students were coming to the front, in twos, and were answering the questions.</p>\n<p>I had originally calculated that this exercise would see me through, and listened with more than a little pride as they belted through their answers to the rest of the class.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;My name is Jackie, I am 16 years old, I was born in Kalasin, I have one sister and my favourite band is One Direction.\'</p>\n<p>I was a little surprised at the last declaration, as the group cited had come second in the UK X-factor just a year ago and I had no idea they\'d become such a worldwide success already. <br />Oh well.</p>\n<p>As Mustafa returned to the room I realised that all of the students had completed the task in hand and were looking to me for further instructions.&nbsp; Looking at my watch I realised that there was still fifteen minutes left! I counted the  number of students and, to my dismay, discovered that this class only had 30, and not the 50 or so I had calculated for!</p>\n<p>Mustafa must have sensed my concern and offered to take over for a few minutes if I needed a toilet break. I was glad to accept, and as I washed my hands and face in the bathroom I looked in the mirror and noticed that I was sweating heavily.</p>\n<p>I hadn\'t been prepared, and I heard my wife\'s voice as I remembered her words, &lsquo;Phil, I am not sure you can be a teacher.&nbsp; You don\'t even like kids!\' This may have been true, but I was having a good stab at the profession my mother and sister had chosen - surely I could last another 10 minutes without lesson plans?</p>\n<p>The toenail thought otherwise and began to throb like billio.</p>\n<p>I walked back into the class and was shocked to see Mustafa bouncing around on one foot singing what I recognised as &lsquo;Father Abraham\'.&nbsp; Or was it &lsquo;Simple Simon\'?</p>\n<p>Half of the class were attempting to copy him while the rest were filming this spectacle on their smartphones. No doubt Mustafa and his crazy dance would be trending around Isaan schools before lunchtime was over.<br />For a large man he was remarkably nimble, and by now the temperature in the class must have been in the mid-40s.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Mustafa, can we carry on with the lesson?\' I pleaded, as he took a huge leap backwards, and I suddenly felt the weight of a 17-stone man come crashing down on my ingrown toenail.</p>\n<p>I must have passed out because when I awoke, I was on the floor slumped against the wall. I looked up to see at least 30 faces looking down on me, and yes, the smartphones were out in force. I could only wonder how much of the event had already been recorded. They wanted entertainment and, by God, had we delivered!</p>\n<p>My toe was past agony, and as I got to my feet I looked at the time on my watch and realised I must have been out for at least five minutes. The students were already leaving the room for lunch and Mustafa was looking apologetic, if a little impish.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;I can\'t do this, teaching is not for me,\' I stated firmly.</p>\n<p>His face took on a concerned look and he tried his best to reassure me. &lsquo;The students like you; they think you are handsome and very funny!\'</p>\n<p>This didn\'t have the desired affect and I knew that my toe was beyond any help I could give any longer - I needed to get to a hospital.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;Mustafa, please tell Wannee or whoever that I have to leave, I will be back in touch but have to go to the hospital.\'</p>\n<p>He nodded and we went our separate ways.</p>\n<p>I negotiated my way towards where my bike was parked and as I crossed the little bridge I must have caught my bad foot on the railings, because all hell broke loose in the hornets\' nest and at least three of the buggers came for me. I tried to run but it was no use; I felt a sharp pain on my nose and recoiled as I realised one of them had stung me!</p>\n<p>The combined pain from this and my ingrown toenail were just too much to bear. I stumbled down the stairs straight past a smiling Wannee and towards my yellow scooter, unashamedly whimpering. There at last, I plonked myself onto the red hot seat and turned the key.</p>\n<p>Nothing.</p>\n<p>I tried about five times more; by now was fuming. Words were coming out of my mouth that certainly were not part of my lesson plan. &lsquo;Kick, kick!\'</p>\n<p>I turned my head and saw an elderly Thai man who was dressed like a janitor, doing a great impression of somebody kick-starting a motorbike. I thanked him, but there was no way my foot could take any more strain. In anguish I pushed the poor scooter to the ground before limping off towards the school gates.</p>\n<p>&lsquo;But Phil, what about your lessons?\'</p>\n<p>I could make out Wannee\'s voice and turned back to see at least 100 students, all grinning at me, and the unmistakable shape of Mustafa and his pearly whites beaming in my direction. To hell with this! I turned and walked out of the school, and in my mind I would never set foot in the hideous place ever again.</p>\n<p>I tried calling my wife, Jum, but there was no answer, and the combination of the heat, the exploded toenail and the damned hornet sting had all but finished me off. A few fruit sellers broke away from their gossip about the price of durian these days, gave me the once-over, and chuckled to themselves as I slumped on to the pavement outside the school.</p>\n<p>I watched helplessly as the last remains of the phone battery faded away. Sitting on the kerb outside Kalasin Pittayasan School, I shook my head and finally admitted defeat.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong>&nbsp;was lucky enough to teach at a government school&nbsp;in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

It\'s a big decision to make!','<p>After a few years working in TEFL many people get to the point where they have to decide if they will try work their way further up the TEFL ladder or if they want to become licensed in their home country and then take on the international school route.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s a big decision to make and could dramatically change your job role and career path. So how do you make this choice? What do you need to do to progress in either field? What are your future job prospects? Is it worth it?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL or licensed teacher?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A lot of teachers I know in Thailand started here in TEFL. A few arrived as licensed teachers. There are definite positives and negatives to both, I’ve put my views below along with some ideas friends have put across to me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>TEFL</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Positives</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Easier to begin and low startup cost</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lots of job options in Thailand and worldwide</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Different types of schools (high schools, language centers, bi-lingual schools, teaching assistants)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes flexible yearly leave</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Negatives</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some jobs don’t pay every month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes monthly hours and salary aren’t guaranteed</p>\r\n\r\n<p>TCT license required for some teachers after two years in Thailand. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lower salary in general</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Less chance of professional development</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometimes non-western management</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Licensed teacher</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Positives</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Higher salary in general</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Qualification to use in your home country</p>\r\n\r\n<p>More international working environment and foreign management system</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Free schooling for children</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many perks and benefits besides salary</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many options worldwide.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Good holiday allowance</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Negatives</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Possible higher expectations</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dealing with parents of students</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fixed term times</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lots of out of school activities</p>\r\n\r\n<p>More training and qualifications required.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Takes time and money to train to be qualified</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How to get qualified</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For both TEFL and licensed teachers there are a number of differences in how to get qualified which you can see below. However, many licensed teachers may choose to do a TEFL course such as the DELTA or Trinity Dip as it will help them to teach to students using L2.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>TEFL route</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL in Thailand is pretty easy to get into. These days all you need is a degree. If you are a native speaker you can get a job with an agency at a Thai high school pretty simply.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you start off without any teaching qualifications then your next step should be getting a TEFL certificate. There are a wide range of courses at different price levels.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>An online course might cost $200 but it isn’t worthwhile for anyone who wants to build a career in the industry.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4-week classroom based TEFL courses are the industry standard. They involve at least 6 hours of observed teaching practice and many hours of peer observation and input sessions. There are many of these run in Thailand by a range of schools. &nbsp;Courses start from around $1,000 and these are a good start for someone looking to work in a government high school or perhaps a low-level language center. The downside to some of these courses is that they are not internationally recognized and are not accepted by every school in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The next step up from these TEFL programs is to look for an internationally known course such as CELTA or Trinity Cert TESOL. These internationally recognized TEFL courses are the minimum requirements for a lot of mid-level TEFL jobs. Bi-lingual schools or good language schools often ask for a CELTA or equivalent (which the Trinity is) to apply for a job. The cost for these is roughly $2,000. Both last around a month but there is a 9-month distance-based option available too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a couple of years’ post CELTA / Trinity experience many people look at the next qualification which would be either the DELTA or Trinity Dip. Again, both are internationally recognized and can be done as a 4-week intensive course or one-year distance-based learning course. The DELTA can cost around $4-5,000 whilst the Trinity Dip is closer to $3,000. Prices vary based on whether you do the intensive or distance-based course.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Trinity Dip and DELTA are viewed as qualifications level with Master degrees. Some people do choose to do a Masters instead in subjects such as MA TESOL or MA Linguistics which can be done online.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Licensed teacher route</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Country by country there are different routes you need to take to become a licensed teacher. It is also worth noting that although you may gain a qualification as a licensed teacher many international schools will also want at least one or two years’ experience in your home country along with your qualification.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The good news is that in a lot of countries there are grants and bursaries available for those who want to be teachers. A lot of countries are experiencing teacher shortages but be aware that by getting a bursary you might be committing yourself to your home country for a period of time as part of the conditions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the UK you can do a PGCE which allows you to study for a year to become a qualified teacher if your bachelors degree was in a different subject. As such you could technically be out of Thailand only a year or so before being qualified (although lacking in classroom experience which is often needed).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the US teachers also need to complete a special education program and get background checks to get a teaching license. This includes mandatory placements at schools in America.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia is the same, a 4-year degree which must include a special education program.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the last few years some UK universities have started offering an online version of the PGCE, the IPGCSE or PGCSEI. I know of a few teachers based in Thailand who have done it as a way to stay here and still be qualified. However, a lot of international schools do not accept it as an equal to a classroom based PGCE. I would be very wary of paying for a PGCEI in the hopes of getting a top job in an international school. You also will obviously not have any home country teaching experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Outside of the obvious benefits of becoming a licensed teacher you can still do TEFL work. Indeed, I know a couple of teachers who are licensed in the UK and USA but do TEFL work as they prefer it and can get some of the top, highest paid positions as they are well qualified. This shows that even if you become a licensed teacher you can still dip back into TEFL if you wish.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>How to choose?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many teachers in the TEFL industry get to a point where they seriously consider becoming licensed. Personally, I looked into it after 3 or so years working in a language school. Many teachers do go to their home country for a year or two and get qualified and walk into an international school. I also know of at least 3 licensed teachers who moved into TEFL after working in international schools in Thailand. The change happens both ways.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end I think there are six key factors to consider when making a choice about going home to become a licensed teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Salary</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The problem that many TEFL teachers have is they complain about 30-40,000 baht salaries but just by doing a CELTA they would be able to walk into a job paying 50,000 baht per month without a problem. If TEFL teachers aren’t prepared to do TEFL training courses then in my opinion they have no right to complain about salaries or look enviously at international school teachers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you follow the TEFL route and get qualified to DELTA / Trinity Dip levels and get 5+ years’ experience there are TEFL jobs paying over 90,000 baht a month here in Thailand. These jobs aren’t easy to come by but walking into one of the top international schools isn’t simple either. Many people I know working in international schools here in Thailand are on 80-110,000 baht a month. Take a look on Ajarn.com and you will see adverts for many “international schools” where salaries are between 50-70k per month. This kind of salary is definitely attainable in the TEFL environment and over half my colleagues at my current language school make over 80k a month. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, International schools will always offer better benefits and perks like an accommodation allowance or free schooling for children which is worth a lot to some people. TEFL jobs can’t really compete in terms of perks so I understand people looking at the monetary value of these extras and choosing the international school route over TEFL. It is also worth noting that a lot of the best paid international school teachers were recruited in their home country, not in Thailand. If you go back to your home country for a few years and get qualified and teach there too you do have the chance of walking into a job where salary + benefits are worth well over 150,000 baht per month.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Qualification</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As we have seen to become fully licensed and work at an international school you will need to go home for at least a year. Add on another two years classroom experience and you could be looking at over three years away from Thailand. Whilst this is not a problem for some people many would struggle to be back home for that long. If you have a family or are in a relationship already it can be hard to arrange for your dependents to come to your home country and being apart is difficult for a long period.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You also need to consider the cost of going home and living in a more expensive western country again. In all likelihood you will need to do some saving before making the trip home to complete your teacher training.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With online training courses such as the PGCEI not being accepted by many top schools there isn’t an option to remain in Thailand and secure a qualification and position at a top school. Sure, you could follow this route and end up in a tier 2 international school or perhaps as a ESL assistant at a top international school but you will not hit the top salaries and perks that are available.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL offers more flexibility when it comes to training. The CELTA, DELTA and Trinity Dip all offer distance-based learning options in Thailand which means you can stay here and work at the same time.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Workplace Environment</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You have to admit that some workplace environments in TEFL jobs are nothing short of a joke. Whilst Thai high schools might feel quaint and traditional they aren’t the best environment to work in. Maybe there is no AC, perhaps you have to use chalk and there is most likely a lack of supplies. Some language schools look like a creche as parents leave their children whilst they shop in the mall on the weekend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was recently invited to play football at an international school in Bangkok. The facilities and rooms were so much better than my own secondary school in England. When you drive past an international school you get the feeling that these would be great places to work in. All the technology you could ever need, great facilities and climate control everywhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the top language schools and bilingual schools you get very good facilities but not to the level of international schools. That is to say you could work well in these environments but you will know that the international school teachers have it better than you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Personal Development</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In general, my friends working at international schools get a lot of support in developing as a teacher. They are funded for distance Masters programs and given time off to complete courses. They are also able to do other useful courses for free such as first aid and sports coaching. They get comprehensive observations and feedback monthly and must undergo yearly appraisals.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In TEFL this level of assistance is very rare. Some schools will offer assistance towards the cost of training courses and perhaps Masters / DELTA but a lot will refuse. If you are keen to keep learning then international schools are your best option for getting assistance towards developing as a teacher.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Workload and Responsibilities</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I can see how some people could say having more work and responsibility is a good thing whilst others totally disagree. I know I work hard as a TEFL teacher but I am well aware that international school teachers have much more responsibility and need to spend a lot of their free time doing work at home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL is great as 99% of the time you can pretty much forget about work when you walk out of the school. Your free time is yours unless you get into a management position. You might have to write tests or grade things in a TEFL school but you normally have enough time during the day to do this. My international school teacher friends spend a lot of their weekends lesson planning, preparing materials and grading as there aren’t enough hours at work to do this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have the passion and devotion to teaching that you don’t mind giving up your free time towards working then the international school route could be for you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Future Jobs</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>If you know you are only going to be in Thailand (or teaching general) for a few years then it probably isn’t worth getting a teaching license from your home country. If you are planning to make a career of teaching then it does make sense to seriously consider getting qualified if you want to be in the classroom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you feel your life in Thailand won’t be limited to the classroom then TEFL offers more opportunities in terms of management jobs and positions within the industry. A DELTA level qualification and a few years’ experience opens up doors in terms of moving out of the classroom into management in language schools. This might be managing a team of teachers or becoming a recruiter or content creator.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end a lot of teachers know after a few years if they have a passion to be in a classroom. As I said in the previous section if you have a passion and devotion to teaching then international school teaching will suit you well.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>In the end….</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The job of a TEFL teacher and licensed teacher is quite different. Speaking to three friends who have done both jobs they all had similar advice. TEFL is an easier job, less stress and fewer commitments. International school teaching allows you to develop as a teacher and to continue your learning in an environment that constantly challenges you whilst potentially making a great salary.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end the feeling I got from them is that if teaching is your passion then the international school route is one you should seriously consider. If you see yourself in the classroom for a few years and then are looking to move into a management position or another non-teaching role then TEFL is the way to go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most people I talk to about becoming a licensed teacher are thinking about the money. TEFL does give you the chance to make 100,000 baht per month but you need to get qualified. If you have a four-week TEFL qualification from Joe Bloggs’ school then you can’t compare yourself to a licensed teacher in terms of salary. If you have done the CELTA and DELTA (or trinity equivalents) and have a few years’ experience then yes, your salary expectations should be around those of tier two international schools – 80-100,000 baht per month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end you should know in your heart if you want to be an international school teacher. It should be a passion at that level of teaching. Lots of people do a job just because of the salary but to have the desire to put your life on hold for a few years to qualify should be something you want to do, not something you feel you should do.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Try using candy as a reward for good behavior or good grades. Kids love candy, so it works great as a reward. Or does it?','<p>Let them eat candy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having classroom management problems? Try using candy as a reward for good behavior or good grades. Kids love candy, so it works great as a reward. Or does it?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve had a life-long love affair with chocolate. Many years ago in one of my undergraduate psychology courses we did weekly tutorials in small(-ish) groups, and in one of these the tutor pulled out a small chocolate bar and offered it as a reward for anyone who answered her question. It was an easy question, my hand shot up, I answered correctly and got the chocolate. Warm fuzzy glows ensued.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Years later, questions still linger. Was that question worth a chocolate? Would I have answered without the bribe, or did the chocolate spontaneously prompt my synapses into a spasm of knowledge? Why didn\'t the others in the class offer an answer – were they embarrassed by the tutor\'s apparent trickery or did they genuinely not know the answer? Did the others want the chocolate? How did they feel by not \'winning\' it?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Having achieved the chocolate, was I likely to answer more questions without the spur of another reward? All in all, a very unsettling chocolate experience, right?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A lot of teachers swear by benefits of rewards in the classroom. Any behavioral psychologist will tell you that tangible and immediate rewards like candy are the juice and gravy of habit formation. In classes with young learners, candy\'s power is screamingly obvious, but my anecdote provides some evidence that it works with undergraduate psychology majors too.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also, it\'s not just candy that works – stickers, stars or points on a chart also work. I\'ve used it: in one of my classes, each group had a \'rocket\' on the star chart (see what I did there?) that moved closer to the moon whenever they did something reward-worthy. The first group to the moon was the winner. What did they win? Well, that\'s where things get tricky.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The candy problem&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Using candy as a reward brings up issues of healthy nutrition and the resultant cavities, insulin spikes, childhood obesity and so on. That\'s a little dramatic perhaps, but I do think that insulin spikes in the classroom are best avoided. <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/stephen-louw/food-and-the-classroom\">You can read my blog about that</a>, and being a chocoholic I\'d rather keep the treats to myself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another question is what happens to those who don\'t get a reward. In one kindergarten lesson I observed, the learners had chosen animals to represent their groups, a shark, a lion and so on, and a snack they thought their animals liked – the shark wanted french fries, for example. The teacher put a flashcard representing their respective animals on one side of the board, and the choice snack on the other side, and then moved the animals gradually closer to the food for each correct response the group gave.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The kids were absolutely enthralled: it was a pleasure to observe the lesson, and I was rightly impressed with the teacher. At the end of the lesson though, things turned sour. The ghekko reached its tasty hotdog and just like that the lesson was over, much to the dismay of one little girl from the shark group who burst into tears and wailed inconsolably for her still-hungry shark. Maybe she went on to write <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w\">\'Baby Shark\'</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then there is the questions of how rewards in the classroom affect motivation. At face value, it looks like candy and stickers do a great job of motivating students, but does the carrot (that crafty accomplice of the stick) come with limitations? One interesting insight into the darker side of rewards came from the findings of <a href=\"http://psycnet.apa.org/record/1974-10497-001\">Lepper, Greene and Nisbett\'s fascinating study</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They took young children (aged 3 and 4) who liked drawing and divided them into 3 groups: one group were told they would get a reward for their drawing and were then given one; another group were given a surprise reward after they had drawn; and the third group got no reward – they just drew and went home.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The researchers found that the children in the first group, those who were told they were getting a reward, engaged less in spontaneous drawing and the quality of their drawing was poorer. Their motivation to engage in drawing for its own value diminished as the extrinsic reward they were expecting became their focus.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Overjustification</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>This is the overjustification effect. When we enjoy doing something we have a good reason to do it: an intrinsic motive. When we are given a reward for doing something, we also have a reason to do it: an extrinsic motive. But when we have both, the enjoyment and the obligation come into conflict.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This led the children in the experiment who were rewarded for drawing to stop enjoying it for its own sake. The effect has been identified with adults too: smokers who are rewarded for quitting do worse than those who <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2195084\">are given no rewards</a>, and in the the workplace, as an example, volunteers have been found to <a href=\"http://docplayer.net/26861297-Does-pay-motivate-volunteers.html\">work less when rewarded</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, rewarding students may reduce motivation rather than increasing it. It is worth noting, however, that <a href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2731358/\">the overjustification effect is most uncontroversially evident</a> with activities that are intrinsically motivating and with rewards that are tangible and expected.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With low-interest tasks (like picking up dog poop) rewards do not have such a negative effect, and verbal rewards (like \'Well done, Steve\') produce positive effects with both high- and low-interest tasks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, back to the English language classroom. The crucial question for us is whether learning a language is intrinsically motivating. If learning English is a low-interest task, rewards have their place. But if it is already intrinsically motivating, rewards might actually get in the way.

Leave those kids alone…”','<p>One thing that really gets me in any environment is negativity — something I’m guilty of exhibiting myself from time to time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That said, nobody wants to be around the negative Nancy in the office, and I would argue that especially in a school, it can be downright hurtful to kids still growing into their personalities. Even when I’m having a bad day, I do my best not to let that negativity pass on to students, aside from the odd sarcastic remark — although that’s the expected norm anyway.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Positive colleagues</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve been lucky to have been around largely positive colleagues (for the most part) during my teaching career thus far; even those that are negative tend to put on a good show in the classroom. To me, there’s nothing that turns off a student more than having an instructor that doesn’t want to be there; if I’m honest, that’s likely why I don’t like math today, as I remember a few not-so-happy teachers from my high school days.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let’s just say, as a kid I didn’t always see eye-to-eye with teachers that tried to force “learning” for the sake of it — yet for those that quite obviously enjoyed their jobs, I always went the extra mile. Passive aggressive? Definitely, but it seems to be common sense, doesn’t it?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s quite common in some schools, depending on many factors, to have a strict structure and to enforce that with consequences: negative reinforcement. To me, though, this is just counterproductive; human nature is generally to rebel against what is forced upon you — especially in the case of teenagers — and it seems a far lesser endeavor to work with someone than to push against. Isn’t it the same in the “real world”?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A fly in the ointment</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I bring this up because I’ve been noticing a colleague (superior, actually) constantly berating a group of kids recently, and I just wanted to shout back at him: what are you trying to accomplish? I’m all for tough love, and I genuinely think that this age of health-and-safety and overblown child [and adult] psychology has sometimes gone too far; I’m reminded of George Carlin, the comedian, and one of his routines picking on overbearing and over-protective parents and adults:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Here’s a bumper sticker I’d like to see: We are the proud parents of a child who has resisted his teachers’ attempts to break his spirit and bend him to the will of his corporate masters.”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How true. I often feel — especially in international education — that we’re failing kids as we baby them too much, making their own part-of-growing-up mistakes lose their learning value, and essentially providing an idealist education void of any connection with reality.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Achieving a balance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But can’t we meet in the middle — instead of negativity, why have you failed, you’re a waste of life, blah blah blah, how about a positive approach? What have you learned from your failure, how can you work to be better, look at the big picture?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The frustration is understandable, though; every now and then I’ll get a group that just doesn’t click with me, and it can be frustrating to try to get kids that just aren’t interested in engaging to make any progress. While I try my best to be patient and positive at all times — remembering my own past teachers — sometimes it’s just all a bit much. I just have to keep reminding myself to put myself in their shoes. Hell, to put myself in my OWN shoes, all those years ago. How would I [and did I] react to various teacher temperaments?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Call me an idealist, but each time I see a teacher whose negativity and/or negative reinforcement tactics are obvious, the Pink Floyd music video plays in my mind. “Hey! Teacher!

But not one student smirked or laughed.','<p>As the huge hypodermic needle pumped what seemed like gallons of anaesthetic into my toe, I looked around the room and could see all types of candidates for the latest ‘Walking Dead’ box set.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the narrow metal bed next to me lay a child who couldn’t have been any more than three, with a massive head wound, screaming loud enough to wake the dead on a different continent. A couple who must have been his parents were comforting him, but even I could see that this poor mite needed medical attention immediately.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My ingrown toenail was hardly life threatening, and as I tried to explain to the doctor that maybe she should be looking at the boy instead of me, she wiggled the massive needle around just enough to send a shockwave of pain through my entire body. &nbsp;A bespectacled young doctor appeared. He swiftly pulled the curtain around the young patient, and I returned my gaze to my toe just as the weapons-grade nail cutters were produced.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum was busy chatting to the old lady on our left, and as the doctor sliced through my septic nail I did my level best to remain as calm as possible. Jum’s new friend was watching intently as half of my nail was ripped out of my toe; then she looked at my face, waiting for me to start howling like a little girl.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She was disappointed, because I maintained my composure, and just as she was about to ask Jum how she had found such a tough foreigner for a husband my wife let the cat out of the bag and explained that I had about a pint of painkiller floating around my veins. The rest of the procedure was fairly simple, and we were soon on our way back home.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Because we were by then well into the monsoon season, the rain was relentless and due to the usual blocked drains, the roads were under about 10 inches of water. I had to tie a plastic bag over my poor foot in order to stop any infection, and this made our trip home a little more eventful than usual. Once we got there I had to explain to Jum about why I hadn’t been able to complete my first day of teaching, and before I could finish. Wannee’s car was at our gates.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Appeasing the boss</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Great! I’d just had a surgical procedure on my toe, almost drowned on my motorbike and now I had to face KPS’s version of the Spanish Inquisition. She listened patiently as I did my best to explain the events leading up to my hobbling exit from the school. Her porcelain features barely creased when I told her about the hornet sting, and how I felt like giving up teaching after such a disastrous day. Instead, she was more concerned about the brand of tea that Jum had served up, and they chatted away for a goodly time while I did my best to look as pitiful as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Phil, you will come back to school tomorrow?’ Wannee asked me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I thought about the alternatives, and although I wasn’t feeling my best, the idea of failure didn’t exactly appeal either. I answered in the affirmative and Wannee left, but only after getting directions to the grocery store where Jum had found that fantastic green tea.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In stark comparison, Tom came home a little later and regaled us with tales of his awesome first day at school. He had been quite popular back in the UK, but this experience was altogether different. It seemed that the girls wanted to be with him, and the boys wanted to <em>be&nbsp;</em>him. My son was as happy as I had ever seen him.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This made me feel a lot better about my day, and after an early dinner I retired to bed for the night. My dreams were particularly vivid; I can remember being chased around the school by a 20 foot tall Mustafa as I hopped pathetically around the staircases. The raucous din made by our frogs rudely awoke me from my bizarre thoughts, and when I heard an all too familiar scream, I went back to sleep rather than repeating the previous nights’ heroics.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Round two</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My second day as an English teacher in KPS couldn’t have been any more different. Despite offers from Wannee to hold my hand for my first few lessons, I went to each class alone – to my surprise, with some success. There were two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon, adding up to around four hours of teaching. This meant that I had four hours of free time in which to prepare my lessons, plus a one hour lunch break. The whole week pretty much mirrored this pattern, and I noted that I was only teaching for 20 hours per week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The downside was that my students would only get one hour of English per week, and that was no way nearly enough.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was forced to wear sandals for at least a week as my poor toe needed some pressure-relief in which to heal properly. As I limped into each classroom, the 50 or so kids would all notice my footwear and the large bandage on my toe. They’d wait for me to introduce myself and, once the pleasantries were dispensed with, they’d ask about my injury. I replied ‘Lep Kop’ (Thai for ingrown toenail).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To my surprise, not a single student laughed or even smirked. ‘Lep Kop’, they would repeat, and I even got some looks of sympathy, which rather helped with the bonding period. I could only imagine the amount of stick I would have got if I was a new teacher back in the UK.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although teaching in Thailand was never plain sailing, the respect that I got from the students made it a very memorable experience that I will never forget. By the end of the second day I was definitely enjoying my new profession, and this was reinforced even more by the end of the week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tom was doing well, and I must admit that I played up the fact that he was my son on occasion. The girls would ask me if I knew him, and when I explained that he was my child, they would start asking all kinds of questions and even begged me for his mobile phone number.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The dreaded mathayom three</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I was teaching Mathayom 3, commonly known as the most difficult year to teach. The kids were aged around 15-16, and we all know how this particular hormone riddled bunch of teenagers usually play up. The classes were labelled 3/1 all the way up to 3/14. 3/13 and 3/14 were known as the Talented Students League, or TSL for short. 3/1 to 3/3 were good kids. 3/4 to 3/10 were kind of the middle stream, and as for 3/11 and 3/12… well, let’s just say that these were the most challenging.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for some reason, over the whole year, it was these kids that I got on with the best. Okay, some of them were probably borderline ADHD, and God knows I didn’t have the tools to deal with this type of behaviour, but I did my best. I managed to mix up my lessons enough for them to retain some level of interest, and to this very day I miss those little monsters!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My own set of objectives was fairly plain:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) Teach conversational English</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2) Make lessons fun</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3) Turn up for lessons</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That was pretty much it, and when I sat in on some of the Thai English teachers’ lessons, I discovered something that really surprised me. Almost none of them, especially among the older ones, could speak a word of intelligible English! They were essentially teaching reading and writing, and their grammar was probably better than mine, but conversational English was not their forté.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was often consulted by them in the staff room to double-check their pronunciation, and this was not always easy. I did my best to correct them without making too big a deal about it, but on occasion I failed miserably.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong> was lucky enough to teach at a government school in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

I say volunteer but what I really mean is they pay for the privilege of going into a Thai school and helping the kids for a few days / weeks. Is this a good thing or not?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Supply and demand</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many people come here for extended stays and the chance to do a few days volunteering with children or animals seems to be growing in popularity.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The intensions of tourists coming to teach in Thailand are undoubtedly good. They obviously feel they can help as well as get new skills and experiences themselves. Sure, there are always bad eggs out there but the same can be said in the paid teacher sector too. Judging by the tweets and posts by those being accepted into volunteer teaching posts they are excited and can’t wait to meet their students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s no secret that many schools, especially rural schools, have problems finding teachers in Thailand. There is a huge demand for language skills and despite teaching agencies finding paid teachers there are obviously enough schools to allow for paid and volunteer teachers to work in Thai schools. If companies selling volunteer packages can help fill gaps and provide teachers to remote schools then that is a good thing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The companies</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A quick Google of “volunteer teaching Thailand” returned 1.6 million hits. I had a look at four companies who appeared on the first page of the Google search and found they all operated in different ways. Some of them seem more interested in cash whereas others seem to offer sensible pricing and use the money for good.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most charge a weekly fee which covers transfers from Bangkok to the school and accommodation. There are usually activities arranged in the local area and perhaps a couple of special meals. It seems that a week will cost around $800. Sticking some tourists on a bus and putting them in a 500 baht per night guesthouse and they charge $800 a week! Fair play to them if they can persuade people to pay that much. What isn’t clear is whether or not the agency bills the school for providing teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One company I did see worked in a better way (in my opinion anyway). They don’t do tours or transfers but charge a flat rate of 4,000 baht which covers you for the duration of your time volunteering, whether that is one day or three months. It seems a lot more ethical and won’t break the bank. This company also states that they don’t charge the school for providing teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m sure the companies aren’t going to be fully upfront with their business model but I would love to see what the Thai MOE think of this practice. Hopefully there is clear regulation and rules that schools and companies must follow.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Where is the money going?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My main gripe with the idea of teaching tourism is where the money goes. As I said in the section above some companies charge volunteers over $800 a week to teach at a Thai school. Whilst there are costs of running the scheme and for materials etc they must be making a good 50% profit at least on that. &nbsp;I would also love to see how much is given to the school or invested into school projects. I also fear that some companies could be tempted to charge schools for finding them teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The other issue is that schools could use these schemes to get free teachers to the detriment of their pupils. If a school is not in a rural area then it is possible for them to find paid teachers. I feel schools using tourism teachers just to save money are a disgrace. It should be limited to schools who are unable to find foreigners after trying directly and via teaching agencies.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teaching quality&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You can argue about the quality of teachers but in the end the chance to use English in a classroom is invaluable for many. Without tourism teachers some schools wouldn’t be able to find foreigners.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also, some of the people who do come here have teaching experience. Some of the companies provide training or recommend online TEFL courses which is more than some paid English teachers have.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tourism teaching factories</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Another concern I have is whether schools are turned into factories with a steady stream of volunteers which distracts students from school. Whilst paid teachers aren’t always 100% professional they are usually committed for a term at least and have lesson plans and a syllabus. If you have different volunteers every week then imagine the wasted time and repetition the students get. Hopefully there is a plan for tourism teachers to follow and they are observed during classes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Volunteering in Thailand</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Volunteering is a good thing but the labour laws here mean that foreigners technically need a work permit to volunteer. These agencies obviously register as services which means the foreigners who use these companies don’t require a work permit. The argument from many expats in Thailand is that this process prevents them from volunteering at local schools.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think it is a valid point but the law is the law. What should happen is a charity should be set up in Thailand which charges a very low rate, maybe a few hundred baht a year and acts as a company and lets expats volunteer at local schools. If this membership fee was directly used for admin fees or school projects I’m sure most expats would be happy to pay to avoid the work permit issues. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Here for the future</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I can’t see this trend of tourism teachers coming to Thailand stopping anytime soon. I think there is obviously a steady supply of foreigners who are happy to pay for the experience and companies who can make good money from this business.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end paid teachers in Thailand shouldn’t feel threatened by this industry and whilst it isn’t perfect it does seem to provide at least some benefits to rural schools. As I said the key is maintaining the quality and ensuring that companies and schools do not abuse tourism teachers to the detriment of pupils.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Wesson. &nbsp;The Colt 45 and the Smith and Wesson Pistol did more to liberate women than anything else I can think of. &nbsp;After all, when was the last time a man grabbed the butt of a woman holding a Smith and Wesson? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Besides being anti-woman, those that want to ban firearms seem to be anti-Semitic, or extremely ignorant of the history of the Jewish people. &nbsp;Ban guns and the ability of a people to protect themselves, and the first to get shot and dragged to the gas chambers are the Jews. &nbsp;Gun control (and people control) are sensitive issues with a lot of people, and for a lot of good reasons. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Second Amendment</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Do most of the 16-year-old Ferris Buellers who took to the streets across America know who James Madison was? &nbsp;Maybe some of their teachers do, but they’re not talking very much, except to say that he, and the other founding fathers, were slave owners; thus, to be scorned. &nbsp;James Madison was the fourth president of the United States. &nbsp;Along with Alexander Hamilton, he authored the Bill of Rights. &nbsp;He also penned these 27 words which became ratified by the U.S. Congress in 1791:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is the Second Amendment many of the 16-year-old Ferris Buellers railed against. &nbsp;Do they know what it means? &nbsp;Do these students talk about it in school? &nbsp;Have they thought profoundly about why it was written, and the historical context in which it was written? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those who have read Madison and understand him know that he thought that the states do not have rights, people do; the states have power. &nbsp;The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. &nbsp;Who could infringe on that right? &nbsp;The State or states. &nbsp;Why? &nbsp;Because it (or they) have power, and that power can be misused and abused. &nbsp;How can a citizenry curtail a state (or the State) with designs on taking too much power and control over its citizens? &nbsp;You guessed it, by a well-regulated militia. &nbsp;It is necessary to note here that the Supreme Court of the United States, in a 5-4 decision, (D.C. vs. Heller 2008), upheld this right by claiming that individual citizens do not have to be a member of a militia to keep and bear arms. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>James Madison also wrote The Federalist Papers, one of the most important documents in American history and political thought. &nbsp;Have these 16-year-old demonstrators read it? &nbsp;If so, they would have certainly come across this:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>\"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.\"</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>--- James Madison, <span><em>Federalist No. 46</em></span>, January 29, 1788.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>James Madison knew that there were two kinds of tyranny: &nbsp;top-down tyranny and bottom-up tyranny. &nbsp;He feared both. &nbsp;That is why he, and the other Founding Fathers, created three separate but equal branches of government. &nbsp;The existence of subordinate governments? &nbsp;Who would these subordinate governments be? &nbsp;For one, those not in power; or the opposition party. &nbsp;For another, the Praetorian Guard media, who are not reporting fairly and accurately by taking sides. &nbsp;Third, extremist citizens or groups who may deign, for whatever reason, to overthrow the existing order.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On March 19<sup>th</sup>,<em>Roll Call</em>reported that Democrat Representative Tom Suozzi suggested using the ‘Second Amendment’ on President Trump.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>It’s really a matter of putting public pressure on the president. &nbsp;I mean, this is where the Second Amendment comes in quite frankly, because you know, what if the president was to ignore the courts? What would you do? What would we do?” Rep. Tom Suozzi, said during a March 12 Q&amp;A session with constituents in Huntington, on Long Island. &nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>A listener asks, “What’s the Second Amendment?”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Representative Suozzi replies, “The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, that’s it! &nbsp;Finally, someone gets it! &nbsp;This politician knows exactly why Madison wrote the Second Amendment. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The Mess that is America’s Public Schools</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The American public-school system is an absolute mess. &nbsp;According to Pew Research,&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>One of the biggest cross-national tests is the Program for International Student Assessment, (PISA), which every three years measures reading ability, math and science literacy and other key skills&nbsp;among 15-year-olds in dozens of developed and developing countries. The most recent PISA results, from 2015, placed the U.S. an unimpressive 38</em><sup><em>th</em></sup><em>&nbsp;out of 71 countries in math and 24th in science. Among the 35 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which sponsors the PISA initiative, the U.S. ranked 30th in math and 19</em><sup><em>th</em></sup><em>&nbsp;in Science.” &nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Johnny can’t read or conjugate verbs, but he can choose his own pronoun. &nbsp;Little Susie can’t add or subtract, but a quick perusing of the Internet treats us to a plethora of articles and stories about how the progressive morons that run most public schools, are now allowing Johnny and Little Susie, and millions like them, to choose their race or gender. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, if Johnny wants to be a little black girl from Mississippi, that’s just fine. &nbsp;And if little Susie yearns to be an Indian Chief from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, then way to go little Susie! &nbsp;If it’s good enough for an American Senator who claims to be part Cherokee, then it’s good enough for little Susie. &nbsp;Forget about learning the hard stuff like Science and Algebra. &nbsp;It’s much more fun playing Hamlet 24/7. &nbsp;And when nature calls, the little tikes can now make pee-pee and poo-poo in any bathroom that strikes their fancy! &nbsp;I can hear this conversation taking place in homes all across America today:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Johnny’s Mom: “What did you learn in school today, Johnny?” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Johnny: “Nothing. &nbsp;But the teacher is really nice. &nbsp;She let me use the tranny bathroom.” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Twenty-fourth in science, twenty-fourth in reading, thirtieth in math… but, apparently, number one in protesting! &nbsp;I can see field trips to national parks to tear down statues of Andrew Jackson and Stonewall Jackson to be replaced by statues of Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, (wardrobe malfunction not included.) &nbsp;Then back home to post their “research” and “learning experience” on Facebook and Instagram, alongside photos of spaghetti and meatballs. &nbsp;These 16-17-year-old Ferris Buellers, brainwashed, indoctrinated, and bathed in Purell, know almost nothing about themselves, their country, the world, and most importantly, their role and connection within it. &nbsp;The takeaway from these marches is that it is easy, so easy, to solve the world’s problems, specifically gun-violence, if we would just listen to these kids. &nbsp;After all, they know everything, or think they do. &nbsp;And those who dare question their motives, or misguided beliefs, or lack of life experience are knuckle dragging Neanderthals who want to kill people with their guns. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Take David Hogg, now an instant celebrity on leftist anti-gun media. &nbsp;He is also a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. &nbsp;In an interview that can be seen on YouTube, he has made it clear that he is not anti-Second Amendment. &nbsp;But he does have this to say:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>When your old-ass parent is like, ‘I don’t know how to send an iMessage,’ and you’re just like, ‘Give me the f**king phone and let me handle it.’ Sadly, that’s what we have to do with our government; our parents don’t know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Wow! &nbsp;What an erudite and eloquent young man Mr. Hogg has become. &nbsp;Congratulations to his teachers. &nbsp;And his parents. &nbsp;By the way, Einstein, the United States is not a democracy, it’s a constitutional republic. &nbsp;Or it was. &nbsp;When extreme leftists use the term “a living, breathing constitution” that can be ignored, bent, manipulated, and challenged at will; when hard-working people must pay 30, 40, or 50 percent of their income to the government or face prison time, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;When law-abiding citizens are spied upon by their government and have their phone calls monitored, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;When the upper echelon of the FBI goes rogue to protect a presidential candidate, then lies to the court to get permission to spy on the opposition, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;Bueller? &nbsp;Bueller? When the head of the DOJ and IRS target specific groups and people because they don’t like their political views, you know what’s that’s called? &nbsp;When federal prosecutors and their henchmen break down doors at 3:00 a.m. and drag law-abiding citizens in front of a Special Council in a brazen attempt to ruin their lives, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;When the attorney/client privilege is breached, and then celebrated by the Marxist Praetorian Guard media in a shameless attempt to take down a president and certain television news commentators, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;Bueller? &nbsp;Bueller? &nbsp;Mr. Hogg? &nbsp;Mr. Hogg? When Facebook, Google, Amazon, Verizon, AT&amp;T sell your personal information to the highest bidder, track your every move, and know what toilet paper you use, you know what that’s called? &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tyranny. &nbsp;Totalitarianism. &nbsp;A Police State. &nbsp;A banana republic. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>But wait, there’s more! &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>It just makes me think what sick f**kers out there want to continue to sell more guns, murder more children, and honestly just get reelected. &nbsp;What type of shitty person does that? They could have blood from children splattered all over their faces and they wouldn’t take action, because they all still see these dollar signs.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Yeah! &nbsp;Take that, you savage politicians! &nbsp;Speaking of “blood from children spattered all over their faces”, I’m sure Mr. Hogg knows where some of the funding for these demonstrations came from. &nbsp;That’s right, Planned Parenthood. &nbsp;The same Planned Parenthood that supplies abortions to millions of American women; the same Planned Parenthood that was caught marketing in baby parts. &nbsp;You want to talk about “blood from children”, Mr. Hogg, not to mention livers and kidneys? &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not to be outdone, Hogg had this to say about current Florida Governor Rick Scott: &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>“<em>You’re kind of like Voldemort at this point. You should just retire, because you aren’t going to get elected to Senate.”&nbsp;</em></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, Mr. Hogg has read the Harry Potter series but not, I’m guessing, The Federalist Papers, or the U.S. Constitution, or the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence, or… or… taking the time for a Math test. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Interviewed by the news Website Axios, Hogg was asked, “How do you do all this and make sure you graduate?”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>He replied, “Good question. Talking to my teachers and trying to work it out day by day. I was supposed to do a math test yesterday, and I was like, ‘Nah,’ but it works out. My teachers are very understanding.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>What a guy! &nbsp;And what understanding teachers! &nbsp;I mean, cut the guy some slack. &nbsp;This superstar has no time to study history; he’s too busy trying to making it. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then there’s Lane Murdock, a 15-year-old high school student in Connecticut. &nbsp;In a recent interview she gave, she said, “We were raised to let the adults do the work. &nbsp;When I was growing up and Obama was president, I didn’t pay much attention to politics.” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you were growing up? &nbsp;You’re 15 years old! &nbsp;When President Obama was first elected, you were six and playing with dolls. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then there’s Madison Leal, a 16-year-old student from Stoneman Douglas, who held up a sign at the march bearing 17 blood-red hands and the message: ‘How many more?’ &nbsp;If elected officials do not act, Ms. Leal warned, “I’m going to vote them out of office. &nbsp;And so is my entire generation. &nbsp;And they’ll be sorry then.” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>More blood symbolism from a generation raised on violent Hollywood movies, violent video and computer games, and violent rock and rap music. &nbsp;Why aren’t they protesting that? &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Democrat Senator Chris Murphy regularly meets with these students. &nbsp;He says, “These kids are impatient. &nbsp;This is a generation that is used to demanding immediate gratification, and they want it politically, too.” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No kidding, Sherlock! &nbsp;Besides low reading, writing, and math skills, we can now add a lack of impulse control to their repertoire. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>At the March 24</em><sup><em>th</em></sup><em>&nbsp;march, Campus Reform interviewed various students, finding unanimous support for banning “assault weapons.” The students were confident in their support of such a ban but fumbled around for words when asked to define the weapons they wanted to ban.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>One ban supporter was asked, “Do you know what an ‘assault weapon’ is?”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>The student responded, “Yes, it’s, uh, assault weapon, it’s like a, I kinda do, but kinda don’t.” Other students supporting the ban just looked blankly at one another when asked the same question.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thank God they weren’t asked when the War of 1812 was, or how long the Six Days War lasted. &nbsp;That could have been like, kinda embarrassing. &nbsp;It was both hilarious and astonishingly tragic watching this on the news. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Back to Common Sense</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Now ‘Children of the March’, let me tell you what an assault weapon is. &nbsp;Any inanimate object cannot be classified as an assault weapon. &nbsp;An assault is something that one person does to another. &nbsp;If I’m walking around with a fork in my pocket, the fork is not an assault weapon. &nbsp;If I use the fork to stab you in the eye, then the fork is an assault weapon. &nbsp;If I’m sitting in a chair, the chair is not an assault weapon. &nbsp;If I smash you over the head with the chair, then the chair is an assault weapon. &nbsp;If I’m driving to Big C, my car is not an assault weapon. &nbsp;But if I run over a few people, then my car is an assault weapon. &nbsp;And if I’m walking around with a gun on my hip, the gun is not an assault weapon. &nbsp;If I take the gun and shot you in the head, then the gun is an assault weapon. &nbsp;This is called logic and reasoning, something most students are never taught. &nbsp;Come to think of it, if misused, human hands are probably the ultimate assault weapons. &nbsp;Should we ban forks, chairs, automobiles, vans, and human hands? &nbsp;‘Children of the March’, use your head. &nbsp;Stop believing everything your Marxist teachers tell you and learn to think for yourself. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What is frightening with so many of these student demonstrators and activists is their unyielding absolute certainty about everything, except for what an assault weapon is. &nbsp;There is no philosophical inquiry, no rational thought or healthy skepticism, no introspection or reflection, and certainly no spirit of compromise or tolerance. &nbsp;It is my way, or the highway. &nbsp;The ignorance, arrogance, and hubris of the people at the two marches was absolutely astonishing! &nbsp; The leftist Praetorian Guard media are fawning all over these people and seem to be treating them like Plato and Cicero. &nbsp;You wonder, like I do, why the American people are the dumbest on earth? &nbsp;This is one of the reasons. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, I’m being tough on these kids. &nbsp;I do support their First Amendment right to peaceful protest. &nbsp;I will cut them some slack. &nbsp;After all, they heard the gunfire. &nbsp;They saw the blood on the classroom floor. &nbsp;They saw the dead bodies of their classmates. &nbsp;I get their anger and their newfound “love” of politics. &nbsp;From a psychological standpoint, this is how they are dealing with their anger, pain, and confusion. &nbsp;But if you want to change the world, you must first know something about it. &nbsp;If teachers today are not educating their students properly, (and many of them don’t seem to be), if teachers are not preparing their students for the realities and rigors of the outside world, then students must take the time and make the effort to educate themselves by reading great literature, both classic and contemporary, and studying history. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You know what happened in the 1970s in Southeast Asia when a bunch of 16-17-year olds were commandeered and conscripted by a group of extreme leftists in an attempt to change the world? &nbsp;Two million Cambodians died. &nbsp;The progressive leftist media in the U.S. supported the Communists in Cambodia and Vietnam; they thought the world of Mao. &nbsp;They still do. &nbsp;It goes back to Walter Duranty and the New York Times’ support of the Bolshevik Revolution. &nbsp;Does anybody really think that Americans are above what happened in Cambodia, or in Mao’s China during the Cultural Revolution? &nbsp;Americans, like everyone else, have a history of turning on one another. &nbsp;Like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and Pol Pot before them, these revolutionary students, thanks to their teachers, live in a hyper-present tense, where the history they don’t agree with is denied, and the past is destroyed. &nbsp;Holocausts and genocides are what can happen next.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gun control is a theory, and the theory is this: &nbsp;if you eliminate guns, you eliminate killings. People would be nicer to each other. &nbsp;They would smile more and say ‘good morning’ to one another; even to strangers. &nbsp;That’s preposterous. &nbsp;Do most of these kids know who Genghis Khan was? &nbsp;If they read history, they might. &nbsp;Genghis Khan and his army conquered huge swaths of territory in the 13<sup>th</sup> Century. &nbsp;He also slaughtered 40 million people, ten percent of the world’s population at the time. &nbsp;And he did it without AR15s. &nbsp;He did it without semi-automatics. &nbsp;He did it without pistols. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 1994, Hutu extremists in Rwanda slaughtered 8,000 Tutsis a day for 100 days. &nbsp;That’s 800,000. &nbsp;The didn’t use AR15s. &nbsp;They didn’t use semi-automatics. &nbsp;They didn’t use AK47s. &nbsp;The Hutus used machetes. &nbsp;Who would like to join me in a march to outlaw machetes? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It has recently been reported in many newspapers across the UK, that in February and March of this year, the homicide rate in London exceeded that of New York City, 37 to 32, with the vast majority from stabbing. &nbsp;What’s next, knife control? &nbsp;Oh wait, Mayor Sadiq Kahn has already called for knife control, and there are strict limits on what kind of knives are now bought and sold across England. &nbsp;I suppose we should prepare for spoon control or chopstick control. &nbsp;This would be comical if it weren’t so amazingly stupid. &nbsp;This is not a “slippery slope.” &nbsp;What we are witnessing in the Western World is the total collapse of common sense. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let’s say that these extreme leftists succeed one day in confiscating all the guns in America without causing a civil war in which millions will die. &nbsp;And one day they just might. &nbsp;So now in their Maoist utopia, year zero, there are no guns. &nbsp;But there are still some really bad dudes out there who want to kill people, especially children. &nbsp;Can they still do it? &nbsp;Can any of these really bad dudes enter a school and do some horrendous damage? &nbsp;Of course. &nbsp;They could bomb the school. &nbsp;They could release toxic gasses causing mass suffocation. &nbsp;They could drive a car bomb into the building. &nbsp;They could set fire to the place. &nbsp;The point is that guns are not needed to kill a lot of people. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How many of these students come from one-parent homes, I wonder? &nbsp;How many of them spend their Sundays in church or their Saturdays in a synagogue? &nbsp;To the first question, my hunch is a lot. &nbsp;To the second, my guess is not many. &nbsp;Has it occurred to these young protestors that it was, (and still is), leftist progressive social policies that brought the United States, and most of Western Civilization to this point? &nbsp;The 1960s and 70s changed just about everything. &nbsp;The leftists have now gotten so extreme, one can safely conclude that they are at war with the three ‘Fs’: &nbsp;Family, faith, and firearms. &nbsp;They have spent the last 50 years destroying the family, taking God and prayer out of the public schools, and now deign to take away the guns from law-abiding citizens. &nbsp;The first two were easy; it’s the third one that is proving to be more difficult than the extreme leftists anticipated. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They rail against marriage, except for gay marriage. &nbsp;It’s perfectly fine for Susie to have two mommies and Johnny to have two daddies. &nbsp;They ban prayer in public schools, except when it comes to facing Mecca. &nbsp;Gender is now a social construct, so much so that the progressive leftists claim that there is no difference between boys and girls. &nbsp;So, tell me, where can I find my ovaries? &nbsp; The public-school system in the United States and Canada has become a putrid, boiling laboratory for social and sexual experimentation; a playground for all 50 genders, or is it 51 or 56, or 58? &nbsp;They keep adding to it. &nbsp;A-genders, Bi-genders, Cis males, Cis females, gender fluid, gender- nonconforming, gender-questioning, gender-variant, gender-queer, intersex, non-binary, pan gender, transgender, transsexual, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, two-spirits, three-spirits, men trapped in a girl’s body, women trapped in a boy’s body, men trapped in a goat’s body, women trapped in a pig’s body. &nbsp;And on and on and on… And just what is it with the extreme leftist obsession with guns, gender, and genitalia? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We wonder, at least I do, why many kids are so screwed up today. &nbsp;It’s a miracle that so many others aren’t. &nbsp;If some of these kids go on to study psychiatry, they would make a fortune trying to help many others. &nbsp;But then again, they are also brainwashed into believing that Capitalism is evil; that Wall Street needs to be shut down. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Solutions</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There are some very good solutions out there. &nbsp;I will list some of them. &nbsp;For those who have read and understood the U.S. Constitution, you’ll know that there is absolutely nothing in there which states that the federal government must or should get involved with education. &nbsp;In fact, the federal Department of Education is a recent phenomenon, created in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter. &nbsp;Solutions to the problem of violence in schools must be local. &nbsp;Top-down edicts are just another form of tyranny. &nbsp;They also must be rational and long-term, no kneejerk reactions based on emotion. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The solutions I will outline come in four categories: (1) Social, (2) neuropsychological, (3) Nutritional, and (4) Commonsensical. &nbsp;Taken together, and if fully implemented, these four categories can and would significantly reduce school violence and violence in society.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A bit heavy-handed, you say? &nbsp;It won’t work, says another. &nbsp;Ridiculous, says a third. &nbsp;You can’t punish every student for the crimes of a few. &nbsp;Oh, well, sort of like punishing all law-abiding gun owners for the crimes of a few.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those who advocate forced gun confiscation for the sake of protecting students, should also be for ankle bracelets, subcutaneous computer chips, and motion sensors for the sake of protecting students, right? &nbsp;I jest, of course. &nbsp;Okay, some real solutions: &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kyle Kashuv, a survivor of the school shooting, summed this up on the American news program ‘Face the Nation’ on March 25th:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>Something called the Marshal Program, which was registered and implemented in Florida and which would allow properly trained officers, veterans, and unemployment veterans, to acquire the training to protect our school because we’ve seen in Maryland that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>The host interrupted him and asked, “You want — you would have liked more armed guards at the school?”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Kashuv replied: “Absolutely. I mean we saw it in Maryland. He stopped the shooter. He did his job. And had the cowards of Broward done their job, I think that the count in Parkland would have been much lower. We saw that in Maryland that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun. The only way to stop an active shooter on campus is to have another person to eliminate him.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is a scientific reality that those who commit horrific crimes, like shooting up a school, are not mentally and emotionally fit to participate in school life. &nbsp;In his book, “The Anatomy of Violence: &nbsp;The Biological Roots of Crime”, Neuropsychologist Adrian Raine goes into great detail about the making of a killer, whether a serial killer, a mass murderer, or a domestic abuser. &nbsp;He draws on the latest research in Biology, Psychology, Sociology, Criminology, and Neurology in an attempt to understand the inner and outer workings of those who commit murder. &nbsp;His findings are as controversial as they are insightful. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Using PET scan imagery and MRI studies, one can clearly see neurocognitive damage to the prefrontal cortex, the ventral prefrontal cortex, the polar/medial prefrontal areas, the amygdala, the angular gyrus, and the posterior superior temporal gyrus, all parts of the brain that regulate and control complex emotions, behavior, impulses, actions, and moral judgements. &nbsp;Damage to these parts of the brain can predispose one to violence. &nbsp;Those with severe brain damage manifesting in behavioral problems and violence should not be anywhere close to a school where they can harm others. &nbsp;But this is what the leftist progressives wanted in the 1960s and 70s. &nbsp;Empty the psychiatric wards and let those with psychosis roam free. &nbsp;Put them in the same class as everyone else in the name of progressive education and inclusion. &nbsp;It doesn’t matter if the kid in the corner has fantasies about chopping up animals and eating them raw. &nbsp;It doesn’t matter if he runs around biting other students. &nbsp;He’s just like everybody else. &nbsp;Well, those who love progressive education, you reap what you sow. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Raine also tackles the subject of nutrition, specifically, the connection between diet, cognitive ability, and school performance. &nbsp;His research shows how a lack of iron, zinc, protein, riboflavin, vitamin B, and omega-3 in our diets, can predispose some to become aggressive and violent. &nbsp;Conversely, a diet rich in these substances can have a calming effect on aggression. &nbsp;Fish is brain food. &nbsp;So is liver, which is packed with iron and vitamin B. &nbsp;Omega-3 plays a crucial role in cognitive functioning. &nbsp;It increases synaptic functioning, facilitates communication between brain cells, and regulates serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters. &nbsp;What is the connection here between a healthy diet in students and violence in schools? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Raine, <em>“Poor nutrition leads to low IQ, and this lowering of cognitive ability leads to antisocial behavior. &nbsp;Indeed, poor nutrition is very much an environmental factor. &nbsp;We see here that a negative environment--- not getting enough of the right food--- results in poor brain and cognitive functioning, which leads some kids down the primrose path to crime and violence.”</em>&nbsp; (p. 212.)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was also discussed in Raine’s book as a possible solution to the reduction of violence in schools, families, and society. &nbsp;Around 80 percent of violence to children is committed by their own parents and step-parents. &nbsp;It is also well-known that most of those who commit heinous acts of violence, whether in schools or society at large, have had horrendous upbringings. &nbsp;As Raine puts it, classes are&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The broader context is on becoming a responsible citizen, the curriculum covering</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Courses of this nature can go a long way in enhancing and creating a deeper understanding of how to properly raise children. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Actually, God never left. &nbsp;Anti-religious leftist progressives have simply kicked Him out or locked Him in the closet. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier I mentioned the Rabbi and the large Jewish community in Thailand of which I am a member. &nbsp;This school shooting hit the Rabbi hard. &nbsp;He discussed it in shul. &nbsp;He wrote about it in his weekly emails which he sends to the community. &nbsp;This is part of what he wrote on March 30<sup>th</sup>:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<em>Take the concept of a ‘Higher Power’ out of society and everything becomes negotiable. &nbsp;Even things that were held as sacred rules of society for generations. &nbsp;When morality is no longer treated as sacred and divine, crime rates shoot up. &nbsp;But that really sounds too simple and basic. &nbsp;It’s unfashionable for intellectuals like us to go along with the good ole Bible stuff. &nbsp;But the statistics are there. &nbsp;Take God out of the schools and schools become dangerous places.” &nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I will take that a step further. &nbsp;Yes, everything does become negotiable when we take the concept of a ‘Higher Power’ out of society. &nbsp;Everything in life is also cheapened, including life itself. &nbsp;Babies are killed in the womb, love becomes almost meaningless, marriage is a joke, children are dispensable and used as a means to an end, teachers don’t teach what needs to be taught, parents don’t stick around to see their kids grow, and money becomes God. &nbsp;Schools are dangerous places indeed, not because of guns; because we have not given God His rightful place in the scared space of learning and teaching. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps the best response and solution to this mass shooting came from a man named Ryan Petty. &nbsp;Mr. Petty’s 14-year-old daughter was one of the students who lost her life in school that fateful day. &nbsp;He would have every right to be angry at the world, angry at God. &nbsp;He would have every right to take to the streets and demand action. &nbsp;But instead of walking out, his advice is to walk up, or walk up to… On March 14<sup>th</sup>, he posted this on Twitter:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“<span lang=\"en\"><em>The</em></span><a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/March4OurLives?src=hash\"><span lang=\"en\"><em>#March4OurLives</em></span></a><span lang=\"en\"><em>&nbsp;supporters will accomplish only two things. 1. They\'ll exercise their 1st Amendment right. 2. They\'ll get a little exercise. If you really want to stop the next school shooter&nbsp;</em></span><a href=\"https://twitter.com/hashtag/walkupnotout?src=hash\"><span lang=\"en\"><em>#walkupnotout</em></span></a><span lang=\"en\"><em>”</em></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>\"Instead of walking out of school in March 14, encourage students to walk up - walk up to the kid who sits alone at lunch and invite him to sit with your group; walk up to the kid who sits quietly in the corner of the room and sit next to her. ... Walk up to your teachers and thank them; walk up to someone who has different views than you and get to know them -- you may be surprised at how much you have in common. &nbsp;Build on that foundation instead of casting stones. &nbsp;I challenge students to find 14 students and 3 adults to walk up to and say something nice in honor of those who died in FL on the 14 of March. &nbsp;But you can start practicing now!” &nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My initial thoughts when I read this and saw Mr. Petty interviewed on the news was, (1) Wow, this is brilliant, and (2) holy crap, this guy is going to get clobbered. &nbsp;It’s brilliant because it puts the responsibility for positive social and political change exactly where it belongs: on the backs and shoulders of the students, teachers, and administrators themselves. &nbsp;Instead of demanding what others must do to make the world a better place, Mr. Petty’s advice is to ask yourself, “What can I do to make my school a better place?” &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Ah man! &nbsp;You mean I have to walk up to Billy, that fat kid in Math class who picks his nose and can eat 12 donuts in 30 seconds?” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ah yeah, you do. &nbsp;And if you’re real nice to Billy, he may even give you a few of those donuts.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>High school students, generally speaking, are not known to be nice to other people. &nbsp;Besides lacking world knowledge, many seem to lack compassion, kindness, and simple human decency. &nbsp;Blame their parents, blame their teachers, blame technology, blame their culture or society, blame whomever you want, (and all are responsible for the mess that we’re currently in), the point is that they are not learning the values they need in order to become the moral, ethical, and responsible human beings the world needs them to be. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But all of this ‘walking up’ stuff won’t work, you say. &nbsp;It’s too Pollyanna, too pie-in-the sky. &nbsp;Again, I bring up my Rabbi and the synagogue I attend. &nbsp;I bear witness to Mr. Petty’s sagacious advice on a weekly basis. &nbsp;During Friday and Saturday services, when a baby cries, he or she is immediately picked up, held, and comforted. &nbsp;When someone looks sad or has had a bad day, somebody will invariably walk up to him or her, say hello, and talk to them. &nbsp;If someone is found to be sitting alone, he or she won’t be for very long. &nbsp;We eat together. &nbsp;We drink together. &nbsp;We pray together. &nbsp;We celebrate life together. &nbsp;Religious communities tend to be the opposite of high school cafeterias. &nbsp;High schools are also dangerous places because of the one thing they don’t foster: a sense of community. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The etymology of the word religion comes from the Latin ‘religare’ or ‘religio’ meaning ‘to bind.’ &nbsp;It also refers to reverence and having a ‘sense of the sacred.’ &nbsp;It has become platitudinous to say that modern man has lost any sense of what was once considered sacred. &nbsp;Psychologist Carl Jung had a great saying: “Modern man does not see God because he is not looking low enough.” &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is nothing binding these students to anything. &nbsp;They sit in classrooms untethered to anything traditional or historical. &nbsp;They spend several hours each day in a mind-numbing, sterile, nihilistic environment completely devoid of traditional culture, social values, positive role models, and constructive educational ideas. &nbsp;Because of extremist leftist progressive education, the overwhelming majority of the last two generations of American students, and their cheerleaders in the media, have more in common with tribal bushmen who practice witchcraft and animism than they have with God-fearing Christians in Kansas who love their spouse and attend church every Sunday. &nbsp;For those who think I am engaging in hyperbole, check out the recent White House Correspondence Dinner on YouTube. &nbsp;It resembled the high school cafeteria I discussed in this blog, where the “plastics” or “mean girls”, (comedians and the leftist elite media), ridicule the fat kids, the boy with funny hair and acne, and the girl who wears braces and a retainer. &nbsp;This annual freak show has become exhibit ‘A’ in how far American civil discourse has fallen. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Students who are given a traditional religious and moral education by teachers who are themselves moral and ethical, students whose parents are not alcoholics or drug abusers, students who are well-nourished and taken care of, students who are taught compassion, social skills, respect, and responsibility, students who walk up to others with loving kindness tend not to play Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday at the OK Corral, unless it’s in the school play. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wish I could say I’m optimistic about the future of the Western World, but I’m not. &nbsp;Religious and moral education is not a part of Western society; it’s APART FROM it. &nbsp;It has been for generations. &nbsp;The new religion of the leftist progressives has won. &nbsp;This is not going to end well. &nbsp;History tells us that it’s going to be catastrophic. &nbsp;These new Red Guards that we saw marching on TV are waiting for the second coming of Mao. &nbsp;He’s right around the corner, and it’s not going to be pretty. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I haven’t even discussed massive immigration to the West, which is leading to crime levels and social decay never seen before. &nbsp;But that’s another blog. &nbsp;I am grateful, however; grateful that I am now living in Thailand and can watch the downfall and eventual collapse of Western Civilization from half a world away. &nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-05-03 14:15:28',1,'2018-05-03 14:12:01','2018-05-03 14:15:37'),(32256,52,'May 2018','may-2018','The latest news and promotions from Thailand\'s major TEFL course providers','The busy teacher recruitment season is in full swing and this year it looks like being busier than ever.

I think that many experienced teachers here will agree that the effort pays off.','<h3>Britain rules</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club was founded in 1868 and is the venue for the annual Wimbledon Championships. It holds on rather quaintly to its British heritage and traditions: strawberries and cream and such. So unlike the other Grand Slam organizers, Wimbledon still imposes a strict all-white dress policy on players. Even off-white and cream are off-limits.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The rule became headline news with Andre Agassi who blithely played professional tennis in neon spandex and jorts and boycotted the Championship for two years (apparently) because of the dress-code restrictions. In 1991, however, he bowed to the austere British authorities and arrived on court wearing an all-white outfit that even included white-rimmed sunglasses.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since Agassi\'s days, the dress code has been tightened even further. In 2013, Roger Federer drew the Championship\'s ire by donning a pair of white Zoom Vapor tennis shoes, made specially for him, which sported orange soles. In 2017, boys\' doubles pair Piros and Wu were asked to leave the court because they were wearing black underwear, and Venus Williams fell foul of the the regulations for a pink bra. When Wimbledon says all white, they mean all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the years, Wimbledon\'s restrictive dress code has been criticized. The unflappable Federer calls it “ridiculously strict”, Nike spokeswoman Liz Dolan, “Unbelievable!” Critics argue that professional people don\'t need to be told what to wear, that the strict dress code is an anachronism in a time of modern-day freedom, and that the event should be about tennis, not about tradition!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Classroom dress-code</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Questions about dress code are also relevant to us teachers in Thailand too. Schools in turn complain about the poorly dressed foreigners. They want us looking official and smart, a representation of the professional status that teachers hold, a group that will impress prospective parents or other stakeholders with our stately good looks.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for many teachers, that\'s not what teaching in the tropics is about. It\'s about beaches and summer holidays. We want to look relaxed and wear something comfortable when dealing with the students, not burdened by expensive and stuffy corporate level clothing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Clothes should fit the function of teaching, not make statements of status. I\'ve been there – when I was teaching in Japan I was required to teach in a suit. A suit!! I complained to anyone who would listen in the most colorful terms. “If I\'d wanted to be a banker, I wouldn\'t have become a teacher” I argued and railed and objurgated and bleated and carped.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>There\'s more to clothes than clothing</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>On the topic of clothes, Tanner Guzy has written a rather pertinent book <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Appearance-Power-Masculinity-Expressed-Aesthetics-ebook/dp/B0778QQWQC/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1525187664&amp;sr=1-1&amp;dpID=5126wvW%252Bs3L&amp;preST=_SY445_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch\">about the power of appearance</a>. He argues that clothes are not just clothes, and most certainly it\'s not just women who should be concerned about them. All through history, men have dressed with a goal; to portray a specific image, to dominate, or intimidate. Look at those intimidatingly lacy outfits sported by the aristocracy in the early Renaissance. It\'s only in relatively modern times that men have adopted a bland no-style approach to clothing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Guzy argues that we are tribesmen, that even modern day men and women belong to tribes, and that our tribal identity is inherently represented in our clothes. Think about a biker gang\'s leather-wear – it\'s functional, but also makes a distinct tribal statement of identity. Similarly, buff <span>gym-junkies&nbsp;</span>and their superbly functional Under Armour athletic accessories.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Back to Wimbledon, their argument is that a first class tennis player should look like a tennis player: neon spandex and jorts are simply a statement of juvenile defiance against the established norm.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Identity aside, clothes are also important psychologically. What we wear affects the way people respond to us. In Milgram\'s <a href=\"https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html\">(in)famous studies on power and authority</a> in 1974, people were willing to obey orders given by someone in a grey laboratory coat (a powerful symbol of modern-day scientific authority), even to the point of mortally electrocuting a stranger.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also, consider the halo effect: an initial impression of you influences how people judge other unrelated attributes. If people think you are attractive or look good, they make favorable judgements about your personality, or overlook other unattractive characteristics.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One way of making a good impression (other than by being drop-dead gorgeous), is to fit a group\'s norm by being part of the \'tribe\', for example by dressing \'properly\' or having the \'right\' haircut. We might expect, then, that to be accepted by punk-rock die-hards, a three-piece suit or a military buzzcut will probably not work well.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But wait, there\'s more. What we wear even influences our own behaviour. In 2012, researchers <a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022103112000200\">divided people into three groups for an experiment on sustained attention</a>. Participants in one group were given a doctor\'s (white) coat to wear, the second were told the exact same garment was a painter\'s coat and were asked to wear it, and the third group just saw the coat hanging in the room. Those wearing the doctor\'s coat were found to have higher levels of attention. Simply wearing the lab coat improved the participants\' performance!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What we wear matters</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Guzy argues that small changes in how we dress can make a real difference: wearing clothes that fit well, for instance. Looking good makes us feel better, and attracts positive attention which in turn raises our self-worth.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Using Guzy\'s terms, as teachers in Asia we are part of the \'tribe\' of professional educators and are therefore expected to look like we belong. I think that many experienced teachers here will agree that the effort pays off – schools like \'smartly dressed\' teachers and the halo effect is real.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http://masculine-style.com\">Visit Guzy\'s website</a> for a style check, or listen to a great interview with him on the <a href=\"https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/podcast-398-should-a-man-care-about-how-he-dresses/\">Art of Manliness podcast</a>.

Expats regularly post on social media about the impossibility of trying to hail taxis in the downtown areas. If it’s Friday night and it’s raining, the difficulty increases ten-fold.','<p>Actually, it all started with me pressing the wrong button on the Grabtaxi app. However, I got the instant message that a driver had been found, he had accepted my booking and would pick me up in approximately ten minutes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Great! But I was a little apprehensive about this particular journey because it was a taxi ride into the unknown – a pub-cum-restaurant that I had never heard of, in a district of Lard Phrao, in the middle of nowhere. A place where mass transit systems just don’t reach. Where they don’t go anywhere near in fact.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I got a notification to say that my Grabtaxi had arrived and was parked up outside the front gate. But what’s this? - a small shiny green car with what looks like a male college student sitting in the driver’s seat.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Grabtaxi?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I opened the passenger door and stuck my head inside “Are you Grabtaxi?” I enquired.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“No, this is a Grabcar. We are private hire drivers like Uber” he replied in perfect English.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Do you know where I want to go. This is a difficult place to get to?”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“No problem”, he said, somewhat surprised at my ridiculous question. “I have a sat nav. It will take us to exactly where you want to go”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The extremely polite and clearly well-educated driver then pointed at his state-of-the-art mobile phone mounted on the dashboard. He had already keyed in the destination and I could hear a voice saying that the journey time would be “37 minutes despite the usual traffic”. &nbsp;I could have hugged him. But then again I’ve wanted to hug every Grabcar driver I’ve been fortunate to use since. They are just such nice people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m no stranger to Grabcar. My wife and I used the service several times a day during a recent trip to Penang, Malaysia and were both very impressed. &nbsp;One of the many advantages with Grabcar is that the fare is quoted at the same time as the booking is accepted. You know exactly how much you are going to pay whether the journey takes ten minutes or two hours. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But for some strange reason, I just never realised the Grabcar service existed in Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Workaholic</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I made the return journey home from the Bangkok wilderness very late that night but once again decided to put my faith in Grabcar. My booking was accepted in minutes and my driver was another polite, softly-spoken, tech-savvy young man. As we drove along, he told me that he loved doing the Grabcar thing because it gave him a chance to practice his English with any foreign passengers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Is this your full-time job?” I asked.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“No, this is a second job for some extra income. From Monday to Friday I work as a sales rep. I sell industrial-strength glue to large, multinational companies. Then I do the taxi-driving in the evening until maybe ten or eleven. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was impressed by such a hard-working young man. “I bet you’re saving to get married aren’t you?” It was no more than a wild guess but I was spot on. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The young driver laughed. “Yes, I’m saving for the dowry so I can marry my childhood sweetheart” he confessed. “So I’m trying to make as much money as I can in the next year or so and I also want my future in-laws to be proud of me”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then suddenly the jovial mood changed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We were approaching the gigantic Seacon Square Shopping Mall (the largest shopping mall in Asia I believe) The place was in complete darkness (it was almost midnight) but the local boys in brown had deemed it a good spot to set up a road-block and hopefully haul in a few drunken drivers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My driver became nervous and edgy. “If we get stopped, tell the police that you are my boss and I’m driving you home from the office”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had no problem with fulfilling my part of the bargain but thankfully we never got pulled over and my acting skills were not required. But naturally I was curious about the situation. It was then that my driver told me that Grabcar is actually illegal in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Grabcar rules!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>“That’s a shame because you guys are doing a great job”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Thai customers love Grabcar” said the driver. “No one likes taking the regular taxis anymore. The drivers cheat you! They won’t turn on the meter or take passengers where they want to go! They do drugs to keep them awake during long shifts!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He became quite loud and animated. He clearly had an intense dislike for the regular taxi drivers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A week later, my wife and I made a journey out to Rama 9 Road – a trip of about forty-five minutes. I was eager for her to sample the Bangkok Grabtaxi experience for herself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we got out at our destination, her reaction was just what I had hoped for. “That is almost the complete opposite to taking a regular taxi” she enthused. “A nice driver who knows how to use a sat nav and a lovely, clean car with proper working seatbelts. Not some numpty driving a smelly rustbucket and blasting out his Isaan folk music” &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Grabcar had gained another fan it would seem.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what now for Bangkok\'s regular taxi drivers?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most Bangkok expats have a serious love-hate relationship with the regular taxi drivers. Expats regularly post on Twitter and other social media platforms about the impossibility of trying to hail taxis in the downtown areas. If it’s Friday night and it’s raining, the difficulty increases ten-fold.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I sympathize with my fellow expats but I’m pleased to say I experience no such issues. I live in Samut Prakarn. In these parts, you can stick a hand out at any time of day and bring three or four vehicles screeching to a halt.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But I realise it’s a geographical issue. Certain parts of Bangkok are far more notorious than others when it comes to hailing a cab. As for all the other things that foreigners hate about regular taxis – the lack of seat-beats, the broken meters, the driver’s refusal to go to your destination – yes, I appreciate all those problems exist as well. I just very rarely experience them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Actually, I think the regular Bangkok taxi drivers are a decent bunch of guys but Grabcar has taken customer service to a different level (at least from my limited experience) Naturally the regular taxi drivers are up-in-arms over the Grabcar guys muscling in on their patch. But if most of the expat comments on social media are to be believed, then the regular taxi drivers have made their bed. Now they get to lie in it. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-05-08 08:51:00',1,'2018-05-08 08:54:14','2018-05-08 09:07:31'),(32259,104,'A short-lived teaching career?','short-lived-teaching-career','I\'m not sure whether Thailand isn\'t right for me or I\'m not right for Thailand.','In spite of the draconian disciplinary measures, the students are basically normal, mostly happy, playful, loving children, who are extremely well behaved, and attentive to my classroom instructions - when the Thai teachers and assistants are present.','<p>I spotted the advert on Ajarn Dot Com.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Exquisite English requires a female teacher to teach kindergarten for a private school in Phra Khanong.</em>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I sent my application; creepy cover letter, romantic CV, mug shot, photocopy of harp emblemed passport, and educational certificates - ink not dry yet. I had all of a sudden graduated from the Khoa San Road, \"Nudge, nudge, a nods as good as a wink to a blind bat.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Actually, I graduated from the Trinity College Dublin last year with a 2.1 in Ancient History.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The foreigner not like the question, I have to ask. You not black?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, having spoken to the recruiting agent, Khun Nang of Exquisite English, on the phone, and having assured her that I was not black. She had been quite concerned.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I wasn\'t black the last time I looked even if I\'ve been hitting the beach in Hua Hin a lot lately,\" I said. She couldn\'t see the funny side perhaps because she was a racist.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"You are Iceland, Iceland people speak very well English!\" I wasn\'t sure where to go with that, so I just thanked her. (Thai people often pronounce Ireland, \'Iceland.\')</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m meeting Khun Nang at BTS (Skytrain) Phra Khanong this morning. She is going to escort me to the school, and if everything goes nicely I will be starting tomorrow.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I couldn\'t see Khun Nang at the BTS Phra Khanong but she spied me. And began calling out and waving me over - concerned again. Khun Nang was in her forties with a well-preserved figure, and a not unpleasant oval shaped Chinese-Thai face.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She had been watching me, and she\'d perceived I possessed a slight limp. I have minor lateral curvature. My spine is not 100% straight, though very few people had either mentioned or noticed this before. It is not like I\'m Quasimodo (\'the bells! the bells!) In fact, a doctor has never officially diagnosed the condition. Feeling dismayed by her finicky observation - she was saying that the school wouldn\'t like it. I just denied the fact that I had a slight limp and she let go. Is it wrong to lie when you really need an iPhone X?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The guy who is showing me around is the owner\'s son. His parents\' own two other schools as well as this one. Ergo, he is either fabulously rich, or he will be one day.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With a small sheltered playground at the double-gated entrance, the school is made up entirely of basic single room wide concrete structures with sheet metal fabricated roofs. Near the gate there\'s an office adjacent to a small library, that is next to a large teachers\' office. The paved terraced fronted classrooms are situated around the back. These remind me of chalets on holiday camps I\'d seen in old British comedy films from the 60s and 70s.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also, alongside the classrooms, there\'s a small kitchen that serves a canteen with scaled-down benches and dining tables. And everything, and I mean everything is painted pale blue and pastel pink. The mind boggles. The owner\'s son was quite polite, but a little condescending and clearly gay, nevertheless he tells me he is happily married with a child. Any hopes of a romantic liaison have been totally scuppered.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A little later, I\'m back at my six thousand baht (€157) a month, compact and cost-effective 35 square meter room with a separate shower. Now, sitting comfortably on my two-seater black plastic sofa, surrounded by no more than a wonky side table, a small grey fridge, an iron bed, and a tacky wardrobe. I pour myself a long cold glass of duty-free plonk. Congratulations to me. Fianna got the job! I will be starting on Monday 28 May, as the German fraulein who is teaching in the kindergarten position at present will not be returning to the fatherland until Friday.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The director who was wearing the most obvious wig I have ever seen; like a bearskin pith helmet, and the pompous Filipino English programme manager both seemed relatively pleasant too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was slightly unnerved by Khun Nang as she kept gripping and nipping my right arse cheek, though I didn\'t like to mention anything, I did subject her to a wide-eyed expression after the third or fourth grope. That did nothing to deter her at all. Whether this counts as sexual harassment or not I don\'t know, but she certainly took advantage of her position in an interview situation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fortunately, The Groper will not be coming to the school again unless there is a problem. For instance, if the school does not take to me, and requires her to replace me with another teacher, and this is quite possible as there is no contract. Khun Nang conveyed to me that I was perfectly fine to work without a work permit as I hold a student visa, whilst I know that isn\'t legal. It\'s probably the protocol, as I understand it many foreign teachers teach in schools without work permits.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are two reasons why I decided to study Thai in a language centre two evenings a week. The first is, that a student visa is good for twelve months in Thailand - it allows me to live here. The second is, I have a love of languages, although I\'m finding Thai to be overwhelming with its 29 vowels and 44 consonants.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I arrived at the school horribly early on Monday morning, as I have a duty today. The duty entails greeting the students and any accompanying family at the gate. It is barely seven o\'clock but the sun is already high in the sky.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The students seem excited to see me. I wave to them and say good morning and they wai to me. It is a show of respect made by putting their hands together and holding them to their mouths as if to pray. I return the children\'s wai with a smile and return the wais directed to me by their parents or grandparents or their abductor. By the time I have finished greeting duty at seven thirty, I\'m sweating; I am not going to make a great impression like this. Luckily, greeting duty is only once a week.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I meet my co-teachers. One is a cool and fashionable young guy from Denmark, and there\'s a stunted pensionable Italian with a permanent expression of bemused surprise - I think he\'s just trying to be friendly. They came-over like a couple of nice guys, and they unloaded lots of information about the school on me. Comparatively, I am more an antique Roman than a Dane.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then the moment of truth has arrived. Off I go for my first ever lesson since doing my TEFL course. The lesson plan calls for a review of fruit vocabulary in alphabetical order; apple, banana, cantaloupe, and durian; a, b, c, d. I introduce myself. Good - morn - ing! Eve - ry -one! - My - name - is - Fi - anna - I - come - from - Ire - land!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The classroom looks like circa 1930\'s utility style, except for a whiteboard at the front. The little tots are sitting on wooden chairs around six wooden tables - a row of three on either side. I cannot believe how cute little Thai people are - and surprisingly quiet! They\'re dressed in immaculately pressed pale blue and pastel pink coloured uniforms.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I call the names on the attendance sheet, I notice a few are of mixed race. There\'s a chubby little foreign Thai girl Toni, and at least a few other half European half Thai children. Their names are much easier to remember than the convoluted tonal names of their classmates - Richele, Joey, Jasmine.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I begin teaching by eliciting the word \'apple\' by holding up a flashcard of an apple for all the students to view. A stout little boy with a pageboy hairstyle, shouts out, \"Apple!\" I applaud his answer; he looks like the cat that\'s got the cream. When I\'ve elicited all four flashcards I drill the students chorally and then individually. As I maneuver my way around the cramped classroom, I can feel little hands patting the shins and calves of my legs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Playful in their acquisition of a second language while they\'ve still yet to master their native tongue - I reflect. Next, an extremely thin young assistant begins to handout workbooks to each member of the class, while another assistant, better-nourished, prettier but older, places a tin pot of coloured pencils on each desk. The students hastily begin to color line drawings of the fruit. When each has finished their abstracted artistry, I put a huge tick on each student\'s page with a red felt pen. After, I ponder - it\'s a heartfelt wonderful feeling being an educator of young minds.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the conclusion of the lesson the other adults in the classroom. All of whom are women, one teacher plus the two assistants. Distant and detached, the bespeckled teacher who has remained seated in the front right-hand corner at her desk - asks me, \"Where - you - come from?\" For the second time that I am from Ireland. \"Ohh, Iceland!\" She patronisingly replies, while nodding her head knowingly. What - your name?\" \"Fianna,\" I respond. I ask her name. It\'s Pung, she tells me it means bee in English - something I already knew. The assistants, who have yet to crack a smile between them, tell me their nicknames are Prae and Ying and having gained that information I can leave. I thank them all very much and say goodbye to my class. Right on cue, all the students begin waving in unison like mesmerizing miniature cartoon robots.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few weeks down the line my schedule still consists of four, forty-five minute periods a day, but disappointingly the infants often sleep in the afternoon. Then I get, \"No!\" \"No, teacher, no!\" (If the students are sleeping, the lesson will not take place. And the school never reschedules.) This information comes via the Thai homeroom teachers - their English is pathetic! Be as it may, when I do teach they still insist on helping me drill the students, although their pronunciation is not correct. This enforces poor pronunciation and is extremely frustrating for me as it often undoes any progress I make with the students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the bright side, my commute to work is only a couple of sky-train stops from Phra Khanong, so I\'m not forced to haul myself out of bed too early to be at the school by seven thirty. Also, I don\'t feel obliged to write lesson plans because kindergarten classes are really basic. In addition to this, I religiously take a nap at my desk between my two lessons in the morning and my two in the afternoon, so it is not exactly a hectic, trying schedule.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The evenings that I don\'t study Thai I spend in Khoa San Road, an area of the Big Mango where both foreigners and Thais hang out. It\'s multiculturally geared up to cater for everyone!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Khoa San is basically a famous road with cheap rooms, trendy bars with live music, foreign and Thai restaurants, market stalls, and some great used bookshops. It is also infamous for being the place to obtain fake educational certificates or fake anything for that matter.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hordes of tourists, particularly backpackers make their to Khoa San while in the \'City of Angels\'. It\'s such a fabulous and entertaining venue to socialize or just chill. The evenings are so warm and welcoming, I normally have a delicious tastebud-exploding curry, then if I\'ve any room I\'ll squeeze in a heavenly crispy banana pancake followed by two large Chang lagers with bucket loads of ice. I drink them at a snail\'s pace and make them last till closing time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I really love randomly making acquaintances of other foreign travellers. Some of these are just gypsying around Thailand\'s provinces, while others our encompassing far-off places in Asia, or even encroaching on vast and variant continents. One thing they all have in common is having interesting times, investing in precious memories for their probable conventional future lives. They have such amazing tales to relate to places they have seen and/or experiences they have lived - and I\'m a great listener.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One evening I literally piddled myself. The irony is, that I was laughing about a story that a girl told about having shat herself in a helicopter over Victoria Falls while wearing a pair of designer snakeskin dungarees. Of course, she\'d only intended to break wind, though she knew it would be close to shit!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet, she still said, it was worth it for the view! That has got to be the best endorsement I have ever heard.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In contrast to the adventures I hear about during my evenings at Khoa San, my days have become the stuff that dreams aren\'t made of.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Thai teachers and assistants often strike the little learners across their hands with a ruler. They are not supposed to - there are laws against this! That\'s the reason why they take them into the corner of the classroom under the security camera. The other day a rotund middle-aged assistant teacher hit a little African-Thai boy Ali, with such force across his hand that he wouldn\'t stop howling for 15 minutes. Afterwards, she kept examining his hand over and over again, presumably because she was worried she had injured the child. (The cow was anxious for the calf)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I just didn\'t know where to look because it was so heartrending, and I was even more perturbed about him than she was. I know he can be naughty as well as overactive, but I feel such a responsibility - I am his teacher! I keep telling myself it\'s their culture - and that you cannot change them!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Much worse than this, in another kindergarten classroom the assistant teachers have a deplorable way of keeping the students quiet. It is pitiful to watch the poor little cherubs when they have to sit in complete silence. I could not believe my eyes when I first saw what they did. The better-nourished assistant teacher was literally threatening them with a roll of green duct tape. Brandishing the adhesive she kept repeating, \"Si keo ou si keo mai.\" (Green! Do you want green?)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few minutes later one little girl Toni, made the mistake of saying something to a classmate who was sitting next to her - the sinewy young assistant heard her and immediately lurched over. The little girl realized at once what was going to happen. She broke-out with \"Mai ou mai ou mai ou.\" (Please no!) as the assistant got near, the infant held up her hands to try to stop her, while continuing to repeat \"Mai ou mai ou mai ou.\" hysterical, hopelessly trying to prevent the 5-centimeter wide green tape from being stuck over her entire mouth. Once the tape muffled her she properly subdued, and resembled, for all the world a pint pot sized Hannibal Lecter.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The assaulted pupil was still taped and seated in the same spot when I left the classroom approximately twenty minutes later. I am glad I did not have to witness the removing of the tape from her mouth. Just how painful would that have been for a little child? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In spite of the draconian disciplinary measures, the students are basically normal, mostly happy, playful, loving children, who are extremely well behaved, and attentive to my classroom instructions - when the Thai teachers and assistants are present.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As such, you have to begrudgingly appreciate the way the assistant Thai teachers bring the best out of them at such an incredibly young age. From what I have witnessed I do believe that the Thai staff ultimately have the children\'s best interests at heart. Predominately encouraging them in their progress, praising and appreciating in the right measure, and even weeping the odd tear when a student has been in distress.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although they are hard-nosed disciplinarians, they are neither vindictively nor intentionally cruel. It is simply that this is not my culture, it is not the system I was brought up to believe in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I am not even saying that it\'s wrong, but - I - can\'t take it anymore.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Five weeks to the day since I started, and Khun Nang with her bottom fetish is coming to the school today - She is coming to pay our salaries in cash.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All the same, it will be my first and last salary. My personal integrity won\'t allow me to stand by and continue to witness the beatings, the rulers across the hands, or anymore tapings. After having thought about all this a great deal, I discussed the situation in depth with my parents via phone - they support me in my decision to leave, and they will send some funds if I don\'t get another job directly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyhow, I have recently been in communication with an agency in South America, and it is almost one hundred percent certain that I\'ll be going to teach English in Mucha Pica in Peru. I\'ve already packed my sombrero and maracas.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand isn\'t or me and I\'m not for Thailand. Wish me luck with the lingo in the land of the Ancient Incas!</p>',NULL,'2018-05-14 16:43:13',1,'2018-05-14 16:43:21','2018-05-14 16:43:21'),(32260,74,'New term conversations','new-term-conversations','Eavesdropping on the first day of term','So how will the new teachers turn out?','<p><strong>Did that new teacher we hired turn up for work yesterday? &nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>He e-mailed this morning to say that he\'d found something better.

What activities do students enjoy? &nbsp;What\'s it like to work at a top international school in Bangkok from a teacher\'s point of view? <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/hot-seat/christopher-seal\">Chris has all the answers.</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>St Andrews International School &nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Also in the same area as Bangkok Patana, but only a couple of hundred metres from Bearing BTS, St Andrews may be more conveniently located as far as some parents in the capital are concerned.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In common with its neighbour, Bangkok Patana, St Andrews International School follows the British Curriculum alongside its IB Diploma programme and has an excellent record as far as scholastic achievements are concerned. Campus facilities include a 200-seat theatre in addition to sports fields and well-equipped science laboratories.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Also in common with Bangkok Patana, St Andrews offers programmes to pupils from Kindergarten age all the way through to year 13 and aims to prepare all students for life in a globalised world. As part of the global Cognita international school network, St Andrews can draw on extensive resources to provide a truly comprehensive education to its students.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>NIST International School&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The NIST campus is located in Sukhumvit Soi 15 and features swimming pools, tennis courts, sports fields and many other facilities. Senior students can follow any one of the three internationally recognised IB Diploma programmes and pupils of all ages are guaranteed a well-rounded education at NIST International School. Educational achievements are, of course, important at NIST as is the welfare of its students: comprehensive child protection policies and procedures have been put in place to ensure the safety of all children attending this international school.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a not-for-profit school that was founded with the help of the United Nations and currently welcomes students from over 50 different nationalities, NIST is a truly international school in every sense of the word. An impressive academic record, coupled with forward-thinking educational policies and superb facilities, makes NIST another must for your shortlist.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Bangkok Prep&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A short walk from Thong Lor BTS, Bangkok Prep follows a programme based on the National Curriculum of England, leading to University of Cambridge International Examinations. Year 10 and 11 students follow an IGCSE programme whilst year 12 and 13 students aim for the University of Cambridge A-levels, both of which are recognised by educational institutions across the globe. Recently introduced, the Extended Project Qualification is a programme that helps to prepare senior students for university education after successfully completing their A-levels.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The small classrooms, unique blend of traditional values and modern educational methodologies, excellent facilities, and strong academic record all contribute to Bangkok Prep’s broad appeal as far as expatriate parents in Bangkok are concerned. The fact that all graduating students are offered places at the universities of their choice is the icing on the cake that makes this school a serious contender for the title of Best School in Sukhumvit, were such a title to exist!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/ajarn_guests/intschool2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>(image: courtesy of Bangkok Prep School)</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>ELC City School &nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Situated in Sukhumvit Soi 49, between Thong Lor and Phrom Phong BTS stations. Their program reaches from years 1 - 6, which means that if you choose to send your child here, he or she would have to enrol in another school upon reaching the age of 11. Nevertheless, its superb record of achievement and focus on helping students to develop self-confidence and social skills makes ELC City School well worth considering for parents of younger children who wish to give their kids the best possible start to their educational career.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The leafy, green campus features a mix of private and public spaces, providing children with the opportunity to socialise in groups of varying sizes and to spend time on their own during breaks if desired.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are, of course, a number of other schools in the Sukhumvit area that you may wish to consider when evaluating the options available to your child in Bangkok but those listed above are widely considered to be among the very best in the city.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to find out which school your child is most likely to thrive in and reach his or her full potential, you should arrange to visit all those that make your shortlist and spend plenty of time talking to both the teachers and administrative staff at each one.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Daniel Lummis</strong></p>',NULL,'2018-12-09 21:30:00',1,'2018-05-21 21:30:40','2018-12-09 20:31:31'),(32262,10,'The local neighborhood haircut blues','local-neighborhood-haircut-blues','The ordeal of getting a simple gentleman\'s haircut','I discovered that not one but TWO vintage barber’s shops had opened almost within walking distance of my home.

Because you can’t afford not to and it’s actually cheaper in the long run”&nbsp;</em>- David J Schwartz, ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is all about getting a gentleman’s haircut in Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A couple of years ago, <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/a-cut-above\">I sang the praises of Truefitt and Hill</a>, a magnificent vintage barbers shop that has two branches - both in upmarket Bangkok shopping malls (The Emporium and Central Embassy). However, it’s a place where 5-star service and a professional haircut comes at a price. 1100 baht (plus tip) for forty minutes in the chair to be precise.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When people read the blog, opinion was divided. There was a percentage of Bangkok expats who were regulars at Truefitt, appreciated the price of a great haircut, and who sang from the same hymn sheet. And not unexpectedly, there were those expats who said “1100 baht for a haircut? In Thailand? Are you insane?”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I refused to get drawn into one of those all-too-common, on-line pissing contests. If you were happy getting a hair cut for 50 baht from the old boy down at the end of the soi, then good luck to you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I continued to be a regular customer at Truefitt and Hill and continued to be well looked after by my regular barber, Khun Sawad. Few things are more important in life than the relationship between a guy who cares about his hair and his trusty barber.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But although I always looked forward to my monthly appointment with Khun Sawad and his cut-throat razor, the hour’s journey to get there and the hour’s journey back home had started to wear me down. If felt like I was wasting a precious half day simply just to get a haircut.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I discovered that not one but TWO vintage barber’s shops had opened almost within walking distance of my home. My Thai friends at the gym had tried both places out and each time came away with great haircuts – and at just 150 baht a pop as well.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wanted a slice of the action and decided to give one of these local barbers shops a try - but with something of a heavy heart.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I felt terribly disloyal towards the wonderful Khun Sawad. In fact, I felt like calling him up, not only to say goodbye to a friend but to tell him that this wasn’t about the money. It was only ever about the convenience.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So off I went. Actually, it had been a long time since I had stepped into a local barber’s shop, where no one speaks a word of English and as you push open the door, the staff all stop what they’re doing and greet you with blank, slightly nervous expressions that convey one solitary thought – “shit, there’s a farang in town”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, fast forward forty minutes and I left the premises well pleased with the results. The tall, quietly spoken young man had given me just what I had asked for – ‘a number two clippers on the sides and back and the top left fairly lengthy’. A great haircut for 150 baht. Yes, it was beginning to look like my Truefitt and Hill days were over.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was back at the local barber’s again a month later. But where was my tall, quietly spoken young man?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“He’s gone back home upcountry” one of the cutters said, a fearsome looking fellow with arms adorned with tattoos and sporting a hole in each of his ears the size of a ten-baht coin.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Do you know when he’ll be back?” I enquired.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Not sure” came the reply. And anyone who has been in Thailand long enough knows full well that this translates as ‘actually, he’s quit and won’t ever be returning’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But I was here now so I may as well have a haircut. I was invited to sit in the chair and go over my requirements once more for another new barber. ‘Number two clippers on the sides and back and a little off the top if you don’t mind’.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The haircut took about an hour. Ten minutes was spent on actually cutting and trimming my hair. The rest of the time was taken up by the barber attempting to get his clippers to work properly. I don’t know what was wrong with them. Did the electrical supply keep cutting out? Were the teeth getting old and worn? I have no idea. It wasn’t my problem.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But credit where it’s due – I ended up with a very satisfactory haircut.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A month later, I was back again. I was prepared to forgive the time wasted fannying around with the clippers because so far, the haircuts had been decent. Thankfully I got the same barber as on the previous occasion so I was spared the anguish of having to explain how I wanted my hair. But we were still having big problems with the tools of the trade and every couple of minutes, the barber would have to stop cutting and inspect his clippers. It was beginning to get VERY tedious.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As for the other barber – the menacing-looking guy with the tats and great big holes in his ears – he sat sprawled out on the sofa behind me, playfully canoodling with a girl young enough to be his daughter. And then the clippers failed for the umpteenth time that morning and I glanced in the mirror as the tattooed man tried to slip a hand up gymslip mom\'s skirt. This was the pits! You don’t get this at Truefitt and Hill.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To add final insult to injury, the haircut was spectacularly average. I wouldn’t be going back. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I decided to try the other recently-opened vintage barber (remember I said that two shops had opened up in the neighborhood at the same time)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Regular Thai customers had already given me the skinny. ‘He’s a very good barber’ they all said, ‘but he’s also a one-man show. He doesn’t employ any staff. If you go in the morning, you won’t have to wait - but expect a queue if you go in the evenings or on weekends. He opens <em>about&nbsp;</em>ten ‘o’clock’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘About’. That single word that strikes fear into your heart whenever it’s associated with Thailand and scheules, appointments, meetings and deadlines.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I stood outside the barber’s shop at five minutes to eleven. It was closed. The steel shutter firmly padlocked and not a sign of life from inside.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I returned a few days later but this time in the early afternoon. Shutter. Padlock. Closed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A nearby food vendor saw me standing there and shaking my head. “He was open yesterday” she offered. “But generally he doesn’t open if he doesn’t feel like it”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The regular customers must love this guy. And if this is what’s meant by ‘doing things locally’ then quite frankly, you can stick it up your jacksie.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next Tuesday, I shall catch a taxi and sky-train into Bangkok and in Truefitt and Hill’s plush reception area, I shall fall to my knees and beg for Khun Sawad’s forgiveness. How could I ever have doubted you?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I only hope they’ll take me back.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Always go first class. You can’t afford not to. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-05-22 14:26:28',1,'2018-05-22 14:38:04','2018-05-22 14:48:15'),(32263,101,'An undeserved promotion','undeserved-promotion','Foreign teachers are powerless to stop problem students advancing','Last year in my P1 class I encountered a student named Oat (not his real name).

&nbsp;Environmental? &nbsp;Would Ritalin fix his problem? &nbsp;What’s going to happen to him when he grows up? &nbsp;And in particular I wondered if he would be promoted from P1 to P2 and continue to disrupt my classes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, I didn’t need to ponder that question too deeply. &nbsp;Those of you who have more experience than I with the Thai public school system already know the answer to that question. &nbsp;Yes, of course Oat was promoted to P2.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No, his behavior hasn’t improved. &nbsp;There’s a chair for him in the P2 classroom but he doesn’t sit in it. &nbsp;He plays with toys from the Anuban class and continues to run around from room to room, grabbing papers from the other students, causing mayhem wherever he goes. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Whose problem?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So what can be done about this? &nbsp;It’s almost useless to propose solutions that the school could or should take. &nbsp;The Director is a nice guy but I don’t expect him to take any sort of direct action until something drastic happens, like a child getting injured. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I doubt Oat’s parents will do anything – they’re probably glad to let the school take care of him 8 hours a day. &nbsp;I’ve learned to tolerate him. &nbsp;I try to reinforce his good behavior by smiling and congratulating him, and I ignore him and don’t make eye contact when he misbehaves. &nbsp;It’s just another thing to deal with as a teacher in rural Thailand. &nbsp;If any of you have suggestions I’m receptive to advice. &nbsp;Feel free to send me email at <a href=\"mailto:khun.mark.brown@gmail.com\">khun.mark.brown@gmail.com</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But what about the larger situation? &nbsp;What can be done about the cultural practice of promoting students who shouldn’t be promoted from one grade to the next? &nbsp;Doesn’t this just compound the problem year after year?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I taught high school last year, the range of abilities among my M6 students was enormous. &nbsp;Some were brilliant, a pleasure to teach, clearly on the path to a good university. &nbsp;It was easy to imagine them years later as doctors, business leaders, or scientists. &nbsp;Unfortunately, many more of my students were dullards, a chore to teach, by all appearances destined to work in low-paying jobs, or even worse, to have kids of their own shortly after graduating high school, thereby continuing the cycle of poor performance and ignorance. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teachers everywhere see this slow drama unfold year after year, yet it is sobering and profound. &nbsp;As foreign teachers in a country that values our language skills but not our advice, our chances of influencing this system are close to zero.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is a small possibility of a technological solution which I’ll describe more in my next blog article. &nbsp;If you’ve ever seen kids play with Alexa, the intelligent assistant from Amazon, you can easily imagine how this tool could be used to teach students at home. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alexa, Siri, and Google never get tired, never get exasperated, and are immune to cultural pressures to promote kids from one grade to the next. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe Oat’s parents should buy an Alexa.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Mark Brown is a retired Senior Course Developer from California who writes English courses as a hobby. &nbsp;You can download free PDF versions of his courses from his website <a href=\"http://california-accent.com/\"><strong>California Accent</strong></a>. &nbsp;The website has over 300 lessons in 14 courses that cover conversation, pronunciation, vocabulary, and science.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img height=\"216\" src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/California_accent.png\" width=\"354\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>',NULL,'2018-05-25 15:52:30',1,'2018-05-25 15:56:53','2018-05-25 15:56:53'),(32264,90,'Do Thai students want to learn from textbooks?','do-thai-students-want-learn-textbooks','And how do teachers feel about using them?','Whether you are teaching in a high school, university or private language school most students will be expecting to see some form of textbook to be assigned to them. It is like a comfort blanket to them.','<p>Pretty much every school in Thailand will have a learning philosophy; a statement which explains how students will be taught.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not all schools stick to this philosophy however. A recent conversation in my staffroom was about whether textbooks should be used in the classroom and the attitudes Thai learners have towards learning from a book.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Resources for teaching</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Like many teachers, I’ve taught using a number of different resources. Sometimes a syllabus has been prepared, other times I’ve had to design it and, on many occasions, I have a framework which I can build upon.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A successful teacher is someone who can adapt materials to fit their students regardless of where those materials come from. The ability to turn a PowerPoint presentation into an entertaining lesson is as important as knowing how to supplement and use a textbook effectively in a classroom.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To cut a long story short most teachers in Thailand will use textbooks in some form and need to know how to use them in the right way. Textbooks aren’t universally popular but I wanted to highlight some of the key benefits and drawbacks of teaching using a textbook.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Benefits of textbooks</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Most Thai students have grown up using textbooks. Whether you are teaching in a high school, university or private language school most students will be expecting to see some form of textbook to be assigned to them. It is like a comfort blanket to them.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Students like to see their progress and that there is a plan in place for their learning – a textbook helps to do this. When selling a course to a student (or student’s parents) a school can use the textbook to show what will be learned and examples of activities and materials used in the classroom – it is a great tool for sales.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the same way textbooks help teachers to highlight progress made by students. By highlighting chapters, grammar and vocabulary you can prove to the student what they have learned during the course. You can follow this up with end of unit or end of book tests.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The way most textbooks are produced means you have many different levels and it is simple to teach relevant material to learners of different abilities. There are also many different companies writing textbooks so you can choose the brand with the best style to fit your teaching and the students learning style.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Textbooks also help teachers when it comes to lesson planning. When you have a textbook, you can set the pace of learning based on the duration of the course. It helps you know if you are on track to finish the course or need to increase your pace. There are also teacher’s books which will give suggestions for planning and delivering the class.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I remember when I was a student my bag would be full of papers and most of them would get scrunched up and thrown away within a few weeks. By using a textbook your students will have all their information in one place which they can review at a later time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Drawbacks of textbooks</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Most textbooks are not focused on a single country so the English textbook you are using might not be suitable for Thai learners. This includes activities based on events, countries or people that are either not appropriate or are unknown to Thai learners. It can cause confusion when creating context for activities and I’ve lost count of the time I’ve wasted having to explain international names and which ones are male and which female as well as the names of places from countries on the opposite side of the world. In short a book aimed at the European market might not be suitable for your Thai learners.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to textbook content there is also the argument that most of it is either boring or irrelevant. I’ve read some textbooks and looked at the layout, design and style and thought I would hate to study this. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many people argue that textbook publishers are money making machines who aim to make as much profit as possible by selling audio CDs, workbooks and teacher resources packs as extras rather than include them in one package. These companies release multiple new editions a year and the financial cost for schools and students is high.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher, especially one new to a school, you can find yourself sticking exclusively to a textbook and not supplementing it with additional resources and activities. Lessons can become predictable and boring for the students who know they will just be working their way through the book week after week. By doing this, students will become demotivated and likely won’t improve as much as they could in a different learning environment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you use a textbook, you might feel under pressure to complete it by the end of the course. This means you might very quickly go through some grammar or activities and your students don’t really understand them. In some ways it is better to slow things down and check understanding before moving on but finishing the textbook seems more important to some teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Textbooks have a place in the classroom</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I personally feel that textbooks do have a place in the classroom but they need to be used effectively. A lesson should include different learning techniques and materials, one of which can be a textbook. It should also be said that there are a huge number of textbooks out there, some good others not. You need to make sure you are using the best textbook possible to get the most out of it in the classroom. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I find one of the best uses of textbooks is for listening activities as they have a good range of audio files to help students. Sure, the voice acting isn’t always fantastic but it does create a good opportunity for students to practice this skill in “real life” situations such as students talking at school, people in a meeting or someone shopping.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I find some of the reading comprehension activities to be very similar and limit them to one per chapter. I supplement these by sourcing other materials or writing my own passages. I will then do running dictations, speed reading competitions or oral dictation in pairs to make reading more interesting for students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Textbooks aren’t great for writing practice, especially with young or low-level students. Practicing handwriting or doing basic writing tasks (such as writing about family, work etc) can be done on worksheets. Many textbooks do have teacher resource packs where you can find supplementary worksheets.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Controlled speaking practice is easily done with a textbook. Textbooks provide images and writing to allow students to ask each other questions and have prompts to help them answer. You can then create your own freer speaking practices to use with students after.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I mentioned previously I love the fact that a textbook can act as a checklist for students to show them what they have done. After spending a year with a class you can do a book quiz with them to check learning retention or even do this after every few chapters. It lets the students see that they are learning and have a record in one place of what they have achieved.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are many schools who don’t use textbooks in every class and some teachers who would rather avoid them and I totally understand them. However, teaching in Thailand I feel that a textbook is an important part of a class, even if it is only used every so often as a source for the lesson.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Students aren’t ready to give up their textbooks so as teachers we need to use them in the best way possible.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

That changed when I visited recently for the first time in a long time. The few times I went in the past, I could only stand its seediness for a couple nights at most. I even avoided telling friends and family where I actually was, so famous is its reputation as the #1 Sin City in the world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a long-term expat in Bangkok, I always laughed every time the local media talked about the gentrification of Pattaya and infinite arrivals of quality tourists. Internet forums and regular discussions with other expats fooled me into believing Thailand can only go in one direction - down, and as fast as possible.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That\'s exactly what I found has happened to nightlife in Pattaya. Bars are now poor value for money, but not because Thailand has become a failed state. On the contrary, it\'s because Thailand has experienced dramatic economic growth for decades.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Better days</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Poverty and unemployment are at their lowest levels in history. Education and healthcare have never been more accessible. It seems everyone has an expensive smart-phone or car no matter what their job is. Most expats have seen lovely Thai girls selling products on social media or LINE. Thailand has one of the largest social commerce markets in the world, particularly among young people. Barriers to entry are so low, almost anyone can start selling online. Thailand 4.0, another media gimmick I used to laugh at, is real and tangible. The middle class has mushroomed as a result.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Isaan, where most bargirls are from, has benefited the most economically out of all the areas in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many girls destined to bar work in the past are now either in university, selling online, or working at another easily obtainable job. As Westerners, we may not consider all the new McJobs as the epitome of a thriving economy, but to many young Thai girls, it\'s a perfect life. The economic expansion has left behind only a small part of society. The girls who end up in bars nowadays are society\'s leftovers - the poorest and least educated who are unable to benefit from the modern economy.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The death of nightlife?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Decades ago, expats and tourists looked forward to epic nights out every time they stepped into a bar. Prices were cheap. Girls were friendly and always in a good mood. Mamasans were glad to see you and there was little pressure to pay for extras. These days, girls are crass and Mamasans are mercenary. Thai smiles and fun are gone. Prices are through the roof. Pressure is regularly applied immediately to buy lady-drinks and bar-fine. The whole environment is often inhospitable.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Open-air bars are more like cesspools than adult playgrounds. It\'s a struggle to find just one attractive girl out of hundreds. Unable to entice even the most decrepit punter with the tried-and-tested, \"Hello handsome man, where you go?\" many bars are completely empty. Society\'s leftovers fighting over scraps.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Tourists - the new breed</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>At the same time, young tourists fill new shopping centers and restaurants along Beach Road. The sidewalk along the beach is wider, full of new trees, and is surprisingly pleasant to walk along. Most tourists are now from Asia, the Middle East, and Russia. Families with kids are everywhere.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In many ways, it\'s like nightlife doesn\'t exist unless you specifically go looking for it, just like in most cities in the world. If you had never heard of Pattaya before, you would never know in the past it was full of Western tourists who mainly came for bargirls. There\'s no doubt the industry is dying.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I never thought I would say this when I first came to Thailand, but Pattaya 4.0 is here and I like it.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/\"><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/fire2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil\"></a>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>You might also be interested in:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/why-fire-is-better-than-a-bar-girl/\"><strong>Why FIRE is Better Than a Bar Girl</strong></a> - Thailand\'s reputation as a cheap adult playground may be slow to die, but there’s no doubt nightlife is nothing like it used to be and is now poor value for money.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/how-to-avoid-investment-scams-in-thailand/\"><strong>How to Avoid Investment Scams in Thailand</strong></a> - independent financial advisors in Thailand have the shameful reputation of being some of the most immoral in the world, and that reputation is often well-deserved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/retire-in-thailand-lifestyle/\"><strong>The Retirement Lifestyle in Thailand</strong></a> - have you ever wondered what it would be like to retire to a tropical paradise?</p>',NULL,'2018-05-29 18:54:46',1,'2018-05-29 18:54:49','2018-05-29 19:46:36'),(32271,10,'Hunting down Bangkok\'s street art','bangkok-street-art','A pleasant way to while away a couple of hours in Bangrak','If you are looking for something different to do on a sultry Bangkok afternoon, you could do a lot worse than hunt down some of the city\'s street art in Bangrak (which is at the lower end of Silom Road)','<p>I\'ll keep this short and sweet and let the photos do the talking.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are looking for something different to do on a sultry Bangkok afternoon, you could do a lot worse than hunt down some of the city\'s street art in Bangrak (which is at the lower end of Silom Road)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Take the skytrain to BTS Saphan Taksin on the Silom line, get out of the station at exit 1 and start from there. The majority of the street art (and certainly the best examples) are all clustered around Charoen Krung sois 28, 30 and 32. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From BTS Saphan Taksin, it\'s a fairly uninspiring 15-minute walk along the busy Charoen Krung Rd. which takes you past a Robinsons Department Store, Bangkok\'s Central Post Office and numerous gemstone and silver shops. Thankfully there are also several cute coffee shops if mind and body are beginning to flag and you\'re in need of a caffeine boost. &nbsp;An alternative route is to take the MRT to Hualampong but you are still left with the same 15-minute stroll.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife and I are big fans of street art <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/a-long-weekend-in-penang\">and a few months ago we were in Penang, Malaysia</a> to see if their artists lived up to expectations (and they do!) but whereas in Penang, you often have to join a small queue in order to take photos, in Bangkok - certainly on the afternoon we were there - you\'ve got the artwork pretty much to yourself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangrak has always been an interesting part of the capital. I hadn\'t been down this way for many years but I lived and worked here in the early 1990\'s. It\'s always boasted a thriving gemstone community with many Indian and Pakistani dealers living in the small sois that branch off the main Charoen Krung. As a result, it can be a great area to find cheap Indian restaurants.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Walking around , the only annoyance can be the numerous tuk-tuk and taxi drivers offering you dirt-cheap tours (which will no doubt come at a price). A polite no thanks and a shake of the head is all that\'s required. I guess the touts instinctively know that you are there just for the street art but with half a dozen major five-star hotels in the vicinity, there are always well-heeled tourists ripe for the picking.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, enjoy the street art - and don\'t forget your selfie stick! &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart3.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart4.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart5.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/streetart6.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>',NULL,'2018-05-30 10:47:20',1,'2018-05-30 10:05:25','2018-05-30 10:47:21'),(32272,52,'June 2018','june-2018','All the latest news, promotions and deals.','Thailand is a great place to take a TEFL course.

Who was I trying to kid?','<p>On a typically boiling hot day in Kalasin, Jum and I had literally walked from school to school with my CV. Even though this was 2011, emails and even phone calls were not the way that schools really functioned.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was all done on a face-to-face basis, and if that face didn’t fit, you knew where the door was. Even walking on the pavements was a challenge; if they weren’t full of life-threatening potholes they were jam-packed with whatever the shops were selling. I had dressed conservatively in a polo shirt and a pair of cords, but within a few minutes the shirt was soaked with sweat and the cords were as comfortable as a pair of galoshes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first school we approached was an anuban school, a junior school of sorts with around 2,000 students. We waited in reception as the admin worker phoned our arrival through to the English department. After what seemed an age, I could hear footsteps approaching. A short, overweight black man announced his arrival in a booming voice.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A tricky start</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>‘I am Elvis – and who are you?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I knew immediately that this was not the school for me. But against my better judgement I followed him to another classroom and listened as Elvis and his wife told me about the school, explaining that I could actually work on a tourist visa despite the rules stating otherwise. I knew for a fact that any teacher caught working in Thailand without a work permit and a Non-Immigrant Type B visa would be detained and deported from the Kingdom of Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;‘Oh no, that simply is not the truth!’ they both chorused, and we were joined by an attractive Thai lady who introduced herself as the head of English. Her spoken English was pretty good and as we all walked towards the main building, she explained that I needed to meet the school director.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘So he can see how handsome you are,’ she squealed with delight.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was not so convinced, but followed, regardless. Elvis knocked on the door and opened it almost immediately. We entered a huge office with a table that must have been at least 3 metres long. Sat at the other end was a man in his sixties, dressed to the nines in a white military suit complete with medallions and gold coloured pips on the shoulders, and totally involved in his food.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was Thailand’s answer to Idi Amin!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Elvis! What do you want?’ he bellowed in our direction.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Mr Director Sir, I would like you to meet Mr Philip,’ Elvis replied.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Director gave me a sneer and returned to his chicken-foot salad.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Philip is from the Ukraine.’ Mrs Elvis had clearly been confused when I told her I hailed from the UK, and I almost forgave her, but when she explained that my OU degree was from an internet university, that was the straw that broke this TEFL teacher’s back.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was about to say a few choice words but Jum, reading my mind, squeezed my hand and whispered, ‘Mai Poot… okay?’ She was asking me not to speak, knowing that in the past my ribald comments had usually made matters worse. We left the Director to his own devices, and before they could add insult to injury we made our excuse and fled the scene.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A job at last!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The rest of the day had been just as fruitless, and I was beginning to doubt that I’d ever teach – at least not here in Kalasin.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So how did I get the job in Kalasin Pittayasan School? Just by a chance meeting a few days later at the market! I smiled to myself now as I recalled it. I was looking at some half-alive eels and was wondering about the cruel fate these poor buggers were about to meet, when I looked up and saw a well-dressed Thai lady giving me the once over. Just as I was about to move on to the next stall of tortured marine life, she asked me a direct question:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Can you teach English?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thais were never slow in coming forward, and seldom wasted time on preamble or introductions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Well... I…’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘I think you look like an English man and maybe our school will give you a job.’ I smiled inwardly as I thought about Elvis and the other schools Jum and I had canvassed a few days earlier. It turned out that Wannee was the Head of English at Kalasin Pittayasan School, the same school where Tom would be starting at in a few weeks’ time. I hadn’t been there when Jum and Tom visited the school, and when Jum had asked if there were any teaching jobs going, she was told that all places were filled. It turned out that my soon-to-be predecessor had been signed up for another year at the school, but had fallen foul of one of the unwritten rules of Thai education:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Students are not allowed to fail.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I struggled to get my head around the logic of that particular rule, but was still pleased that he had stuck with his guns and subsequently created this void for yours truly to fill.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Good news for Mum</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Wannee told me to come to the school on Monday morning and to make sure I was dressed smartly, indicating that my current attire of shorts and flip flops would not really cut it. I rushed home to share my good news with Jum, and she looked immensely relieved. If I hadn’t been able to find a job, I suppose we would all have been returning to the UK complete with tails between legs, and nowhere to go.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, Mum would have let us stay with her and Dad in Fort William but that really did not appeal to me after our last visit. Dad’s Vascular Dementia was getting worse, and every time I spoke to Mum I could hear the strain in her voice. She’d accepted some help in the form of several carers, who came in two’s four times a day. I know that Mum hated any outside interference, no matter how well meaning it may have been. Mum had been a teacher all of her life, so I decided to call her and break the good news. The phone rang for what seemed like an age before the answering machine kicked in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I left a brief message, wondering what she could be doing at this time of day. It wouldn’t be until a year or so later that I would learn the answer to that question.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So Monday morning came and Jum insisted on holding my hand for the whole event. We scootered our way to school – it was only one kilometre, if that, and although the new term hadn’t started students seemed to be everywhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Language Department was on the first floor and as we made our way up the stairs, it began to sink in just what a huge school this was. KPS was a government institution, and had been around for over a hundred years. More than 5,000 students attended, with around 300 teachers; of these only seven or eight were foreigners like me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just as we were about the open the door, it was flung open and a tall black fellow welcomed us in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘You are a very handsome man!’ he exclaimed, and stuck out a huge hand for me to shake. I squeezed just hard enough to show that I was no pushover, and he returned the favour. &nbsp;Introductions were made and I looked around the room, to see about forty pairs of semi-interested eyes giving Jum and I the once over.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wannee was not there, but we were shown some chairs and asked to wait. The lack of professionalism surprised me as I noticed the ramshackle tables and chairs, and it looked as if the whole room full of teachers, all female, were having a good old gossip – about us.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teacher Pai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to see a slim Thai lady of about thirty, smiling at me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Can you help me?’ she said in a sing-song voice. This phrase was soon to be one of the most common I would hear in this particular room.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Sure, no problem.’ I smiled.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She skipped back to her desk and returned with a hefty book and some paper. This was the first time I met Pai, a Thai English teacher who had found an easy way to get her assignments completed for her Master’s Degree. So I was the next victim. I grimaced inwardly as she explained the question and looked hopefully at me for some sign of acceptance. She needed a 500-word summary based on a chapter in the aforementioned tome, which resembled War and Peace. I wondered if this was part of the interview, and gave it my best shot.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile Jum had wandered off to explore around the school. After all, her son and husband would soon be spending a lot of time here. I only took twenty minutes to finish the mini-essay, and by the time I had handed it back to a beaming Pai, Wannee had arrived.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The interview was quite unlike anything I had ever experienced. It went something like this:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘How much salary do you want?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘How much can you pay me?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘What is Open University? I never heard of this!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘It is a very fine British university.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Okay, can you start in two weeks?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Sure.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Your salary is 25,000 baht per month.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Um… okay.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And that was that. I left to find Jum and we went out to celebrate my first ever teaching job. So the morning of all mornings finally arrived and it was time for me to become a teacher; a giver of knowledge, a mentor; all of these things. Who was I trying to kid? My old buddy, self-doubt was already creeping in as I looked at my choice of attire for this massive day, and I wasted at least fifteen minutes simply looking at shirt-and-trouser combinations.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Khon Uan and other \'insults\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>It was about 7 a.m. and the temperature was already hitting 30 degrees Celsius. I decided on black slacks and a white short-sleeved shirt. Jum had chosen these for me a few days earlier; we had bought them in the local Tesco supermarket. Despite sharing the name and parent company with the consumer goods giant in the UK, the Thai version of Tesco was a far more adventurous place to visit and had a veritable treasure trove of oddities stacked in each aisle. It was when I was trying on the shirts and trousers in the changing rooms that I discovered I was carrying a little extra timber. I was always a short, stocky guy, but to discover my waist was now approaching 40 inches was a surprise.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When Jum had asked the shop assistant if she stocked any larger sizes, she’d cast me a slightly sympathetic look and scuttled off to the store room. Emerging ten minutes later with an armful of garments, she explained to Jum that these were the only shirts and trousers that would fit me. She referred to me as ‘Khon Uan’ (literal translation – ‘Fat Person’). Thai people were often this frank and I had long since stopped being offended; what was the point? I had, at first, been wont to fire off similar back-handed compliments to the ‘offenders’.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Years ago I was in the immigration office applying for an extension to my Tourist Visa. After handing in my documents, I was waiting for what seemed like hours to be called back to the officer’s desk, and then I heard my name being bandied about. ‘Hua Lan Yoo Sai?’ I was being referred to as ‘baldy’! (This was entirely accurate of course.) To make matters worse, the offending gent was in possession of the world’s most obvious wig. I was called back to the desk and, after a brief conversation, I smiled at the Elton John look-alike and asked him where I too could buy such a magnificent beast as that which currently adorned his bonce.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course he didn’t understand a word, so a helpful Thai lady who worked alongside him was only too happy to oblige. When the message eventually got through, his face turned a nasty shade of purple and I tried not to smile as he adjusted the toupee slightly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the last laugh was on me, because when he handed the passport back the letters ‘REFUSED’ were staring right back at me in bright red print. Lesson learnt the hard way. From then on I always let similar remarks ride, just in case.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A proper teacher at last</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, back to the first day of teaching, and after deciding that I looked okay in the Tesco outfit, I went into Tom’s room to wake him up. He was already developing into a handsome young man, with probably more European looks than Thai, and this type of feature went a long way in a country that was a little shallow when it came to judging one’s personality over appearance. I’d been that age once, and remember how, all of a sudden, the opposite sex had started to become visible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Checking myself out in his mirror and realising that a short, bald, overweight, middle-aged man was looking back at me, I wondered how the teachers and students would judge me…</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tom rolled over and reminded me that he wasn’t due to start until tomorrow; I was on my own here. Jum wished me luck and kissed me goodbye as I hopped on the bright yellow scooter and made my way to my new job. It was a beautiful day, and the light breeze against my face was most welcome as I sped my way to the school. It really seemed as if this was going to be a most excellent day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After all, I had spent seven years of study getting my Open University Bachelor’s Degree and TEFL certificate. It would have been a crying shame if these pieces of paper had been nothing more than a little window dressing for a shop that was devoid of any real achievement or aspirations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So a teacher I finally was, and as I pulled up outside my new school and looked through the locked gates, I thought about the chain of events that had led to my employment at this huge establishment. As I walked up the path towards the Language Department I winced; my foot had started to ache. I was prone to getting ingrown toenails and my latest one was a real beauty. The big toe on my right foot was going ballistic, as the nail had eaten into the side without mercy. Wearing formal shoes had made matters worse, and I cursed myself for not getting this treated earlier.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I noticed some attention from the students, who were looking at me like a lion sizing up a young calf.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Settling in</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As I climbed the stairs and entered the Language Department I felt a chilled blast of air conditioning wash over me – most welcome. I looked around the room for a familiar face, but there were none. Nobody had even stood up to introduce themselves, so I looked around again and noticed a desk in the corner of the room with a name tag that read ‘Phillip’. My name was spelt incorrectly, but I didn’t really care. I walked over and tried to get comfortable in the small wooden chair. By now the toe was really hurting, and I was feeling lightheaded.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For we teachers, the first day was all about finding out who you were teaching, and preparing lesson plans. Gradually the room filled up and it soon became apparent that I was the only English, or rather Scottish, one here. Mustafa greeted me with a bone-crushing handshake and explained that he would be helping to make me feel comfortable on my first day. I had liked him from the offset; this larger than life character had a very friendly way about him. The rest of the day was spent with me trying to get a first lesson plan together, and having a look around this massive school. Over 100 classrooms, some of them in buildings more than four stories high, no air conditioning and jam packed with chairs. I was gobsmacked to learn that there were up to 60 kids in a single class! How the hell would I manage?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mustafa smiled and laughed like only he could as he let me in on a little trade secret: ‘The students are lazy; they do not wish to learn from us. You need to entertain them, not teach them.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, this guy had survived one year already so I suppose that he must have had a point.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was studying my lesson schedule and was shocked to learn that some days I would be teaching for five hours in a row while on others, for only two lessons in the whole day. It seemed that English conversation was not a priority, and whilst I would teach each of my 18 classes once per week, they would get three times as many lessons from their Thai English teacher!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Little wonder that the Thai students had such a poor grasp of spoken English; they were spending too much time wrestling with grammar and writing essays that they couldn’t even read.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That evening I prepared myself for the first day proper, and was amazed to see that Tom wasn’t in the slightest bit nervous. In fact, he looked as if it would be just another day. I kind of envied him as I wondered how the next twenty four hours would pan out. My toe looked as if it was going to explode, swollen to the nines and frankly, was starting to reek. Tomorrow was Thursday, so if I could last till the weekend I’d ask Jum to come with me to Kalasin hospital to have the nail removed.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Number crunching</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Phil, is 25,000 baht per month enough for us to live on?’ The question came right out of the blue, but to be honest, I suppose I had been waiting for it to materialise I sat down with Jum and started to draw up one of my famous budgets Oh, I was quite the dab hand at getting it all down on paper, of that there was little doubt However, when it came to manning up and following through, let’s just say that I was an ‘epic fail’, as my son was so fond of saying these days</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My track record with money management spoke for itself – just a few steps away from bankruptcy only last year, so yes, Jum’s query certainly needed to be given some thought. In terms of straightforward maths, my plan went a little like this:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Income:</strong>+25,000 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Outgoings:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Rent – -4,000 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Food – -4000 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gas for the bikes – -500 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All bills for house – -3000 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Phones – -700 per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This left a whopping 12,800 baht!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Okay, that only worked out to be around £250 in real money, but living in Thailand was certainly cheap… or so I thought!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was no stress in terms of debts, or worrying if the mortgage rates would rise – and when you consider that the typical Thai household of four managed to survive on 10,000 baht per month, we were quids in. We also had some money left from the house sale, although that was decreasing every day.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Family matters</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I planned to set up evening and weekend teaching classes once I found my way at the school, and perhaps Jum would also get a job. She was still using her British passport, thanks to the skulduggery performed by her lovely family. I still could not believe that this lovely woman was still in touch with those people! Considering what they had done to her, and us, in the last few years, I really believed that Jum should be next in line for the Nobel Peace Prize, or at least get a wooden spoon for ‘Best Efforts’.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not a day went passed when I watched her trying to deal with that hideous injury that resulted from the attack from Yai Dee. A broken arm and God knows how many pins in her elbow, plus the scar that made all other scars look like scratches. To make matters worse, the entire family had turned their backs on us and refused to co-operate with the police. Then, just a few months later, they all returned with hands outstretched as usual, looking as if butter wouldn’t melt!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had forgiven this bunch of misfits one time too many and still harboured evil thoughts of revenge as far as Yai Dee was concerned. About five years earlier, when she had fallen out with her younger sister, Hoi, the family had removed Jum’s name from the house and, as described <em>Teaching&nbsp;</em>135 earlier, she was now unable to apply for an ID card – and without that, a Thai Passport couldn’t be applied for.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Potentially this meant that it would be almost impossible for Jum to work in Thailand, yet the Clampetts still thought they could drop by for the occasional loan, even though their own actions had reduced our income!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I spent a good few minutes in hate mode, then looked up to see Jum had ironed my white shirt and was already preparing some Laos food to take to her oh-so-lovely mother the next day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My damned toenail was starting to howl once more and I was thinking about taking the next few days of to get it seen to. In hindsight this would have been a very slick move, but I decided to tough it out… big mistake! I said goodnight to Tom and crashed out early for the day.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Nature\'s glorious chorus</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Our new home had a decent garden but the damned thing was full of ants, snakes and frogs. It had rained heavily a few days earlier, so parts of the ground were wet, and even submerged, thanks to the huge wall that gave our home a compound-like feel. This evening I had noticed a weird noise coming from one particular corner of the garden and as the light disappeared, a chorus started up. There were three distinct sounds:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Uuung Aanng</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Reet reet!</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Eeek eeek!</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Each of these would be produced at different intervals, and when they coincided the cacophony was immense. Tonight of all nights it seemed to be the World Cup finals of the Kalasin Frog Ensemble, and although I was generally fascinated by nature, I really could have done without it on this particular night in May.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After an hour, Jum came to bed and was pretty much asleep not long after her head made contact with the pillow. I lay awake for what felt like days, and when I checked the time on my phone, it was almost 2 a.m.! I had to be in school in less than six hours, and the amphibious beasts were only just getting into their stride.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I heard a new sound, an extremely high pitched one at least three octaves above the rest. Whilst the original chorus backed off a little, this new combination was simply too much for me to bear. As I sat upright and started cursing, Jum opened her eyes and said one word: ‘Snake.’ She immediately dozed off again and I started to realise what she had meant. A snake must also have had enough of the out-of-tune slimy buggers, and was taking immediate action. But it wasn’t the serpent making this din, it was his or her poor victim!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By now it was almost 2.30 a.m. and as I pulled on my slippers and mustered up the energy to join the party, Jum rolled over and said quite clearly, ‘Be careful of Snake.’ I’d grown up with snakes in South Africa, where Norman and I had even caught cobras on occasion. We’d improvised with swimming goggles to avoid the venom that spitting cobras like to spray at humans, and we’d even laughed at the amount of this deadly liquid that sometimes coated the transparent plastic during our fun and games. But I was only 12 years old back then, and a lot faster than this 45-year old body could possibly manage.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Snake hunter</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As I pulled back the screen door I noticed all sounds seemed to have momentarily ceased, other than the screaming noise. This made it easier to track down, and I soon worked out where the murder was taking place. In the left hand corner of the compound, underneath the branches of our large mango tree, the water was deeper than anywhere else in the garden. I used the flashlight on my mobile phone and picked up a large stick as I approached the hideous noise. As I neared, I could see a thrashing shape, and about ten feet short of the commotion I stopped for a closer look.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although the phone’s flashlight was just a single LED bulb, I knew I was within spitting distance of a Very Large Snake. My knowledge of reptiles was actually pretty comprehensive, and judging by the size of this specimen, it was most probably some kind of python. Other than a few such as the Mamba and King Cobra, most poisonous snakes do not grow longer than 6 or 7 feet. This big boy was at least 10 feet in length and had some impressive girth action going on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My heart leaped a little, because after all, didn’t I bring my family to Asia for some adventure and unpredictable events? Well, here was my first real slice of nature’s finest having at it, right here in my garden! I took a few more steps and must have disturbed the snake’s meal time, because he appeared to drop the remains of the plump frog and turned to look directly at me. His head and body almost immediately disappeared under the water, and I instinctively took a step back. By now, there were absolutely no sounds in the garden and it was as if only the snake and I were there, in a weird parallel universe.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For what seemed like an eternity, there was no movement, and I wondered if the serpent had simply decided to lay low until this rather tubby white human ambled off to bed. There was little chance of me doing that, because I knew that whatever this snake was, it was big enough to do some serious damage to my family – and could probably eat dear Megan whole.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I started to notice some ripples appearing on the surface. I took another step back as I realised the snake was coming in my direction.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Phil, are you okay?’ Jum’s voice broke my concentration and I turned to see her face pressed against the screen window in our room. ‘There is a big snake here and I need to do something about it!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Within seconds she was by my side with an industrial- sized torch and a massive rake. ‘Phil, it dangerous, come back inside!’ I wondered why she was saying this, as it was clear she had brought the correct tools for the job in hand. Then I heard a familiar noise as Megan came running towards us, barking like a bloody Jack Russell. She must have seen the snake before us, because she stopped a good ten feet short of where Jum and I were. I turned back – and found myself looking at the largest King Cobra I had even seen, staring right back at me, eye to eye. It must have stood at least 5 feet off the ground, making its full length around 11 or 12 feet – a monster!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I loved snakes but immediately understood that there was no way I could catch this magnificent beast without killing it – or it killing me. Christ, all I had wanted tonight was to get some semblance of sleep before the morning, and now I was reliving an episode of Steve Irwin’s life, God rest his soul, in my garden!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum had disappeared, and so had Megan, but in an instant my dauntless wife was back – and this time had a different tool in her hands. She had ditched the rake in favour of one of the machetes with an elongated handle. Apparently these were used for cutting down sugar cane and bamboo, and were pretty good farming tools – amongst other things.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before I could even think out my latest plan of action, the tiny woman next to me simply took four steps forward and let rip with the sugarcane machete, with all of her might. I gasped out loud as the hooded cobra seemed to break in two, leaping into the air as the audible thud of the machete hitting the soggy ground resonated in my ears. That poor beast was going nowhere.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum took my hand and as we walked back to the house she said two words: ‘Go Sleep.’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few minutes later I was just about to enter the land of nod when the frog chorus resumed, this time even louder than before. I imagined them speaking in tongues about the floorshow that they had just witnessed. One particularly large specimen was saying: ‘Hah, did you see the slap-headed foreigner almost wet himself as his little wife killed that bastard snake?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I smiled as I realised I must now be dreaming, because how could frogs tell Europeans from Thai people?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Daylight came all too soon and as I dressed for the big day, I wondered about the snake and frogs and was it all a dream? Looking out of the window I saw the shape of the cobra’s rather deflated head in the corner of the garden with about a dozen birds having their breakfast on the lawn. Although still an impressive size, in the light of day the snake wasn’t quite the giant that my wife had done battle with last night.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Strange that…</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong> was lucky enough to teach at a government school in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I was really looking forward to this.','<p>In 1991, I went to Vientiane in Laos with an old school-pal.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We dropped our bags off at the guest house and began the 20-minute walk into the city centre. We knew that Laos would be sleepy but we were still looking for traces of a capital city - perhaps a queue of six cars at a set of traffic lights or the odd four-storey building. Eventually we asked a local where Vientiane was and he said “you’ve just walked through it”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the first time since 1991, Dalat in Vietnam felt like another journey into the unknown. I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I was looking forward to this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As we quickly discovered throughout our short stay, the Dalat people are fiercely proud of their city. And why wouldn’t you be? Often referred to as ‘Little Paris’ because of the French influences, Dalat has a hillside micro-climate all of its own. And while other parts of Vietnam swelter, you’ll be thankful of a light jacket or sweater on one of Dalat’s chilly evenings, when a stroll around a lake or flower garden is an absolute joy.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Located in Southern Vietnam, Dalat is a six to seven hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City and despite the distance, city folk have been flocking to Dalat for years to enjoy its nature and numerous attractions. But now the secret is out and everyone else wants a slice of the action.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dalat is certainly becoming more and more popular with adventurous Thai travellers, especially now that low-cost airline, Vietjetair, runs daily flights from Bangkok Airport direct to Dalat. And there’s no messing about with the chaotic free-for-all that Don Muang Airport has become. We’re talking Bangkok’s main airport to Dalat in just one hour and twenty minutes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our Friday lunchtime Vietjetair flight left ten minutes ahead of schedule and arrived in Vietnam twenty minutes early. My wife and I barely had time to eat our pre-booked beef massuman. Actually, looking around at other passengers, we appeared to be the only two people on board who had ordered a meal. Lesson learned - next time we’ll spend the money on extra legroom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dalat Airport itself is a functional concrete rectangle in the middle of nowhere (well, a thirty minute taxi ride from the city to be exact) There is a small cafeteria hidden away in the corner of the arrivals hall and ….er….that’s about it - apart from a small cluster of half a dozen taxi drivers holding up welcome boards with misspelled passenger names.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat1.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We had pre-booked our taxi online for 220,000 Vietnamese Dong. Plus another 200,000 Vietnamese Dong to have our name put on a welcome board. This turned out to be ‘Mr Philip’ scribbled on a sheet of A4 paper in barely legible biro. But we found our man!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to mental arithmetic, the Vietnamese must surely be the sharpest in the world. I take great pride in my ability to do numbers in my head but the Vietnamese currency tested me to the limits. At the time of writing, one US Dollar is 22,829.50 Dong. Yes, you’ve got a headache already and it’s completely put you off ever going. I fully understand. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I read one travel blogger whose advice was to memorize the colour of the banknotes but that’s just not practical when it’s your first trip and you are only there for a few days.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I fiendishly worked out that if you knock off the last three zeros and multiply the remainder by 1.5, then converting Dong to Thai Baht was not that difficult. So for example if a taxi ride from the airport costs 220,000 Dong, take off the three zeros (you don’t need those) and you are left with 220. Multiply it by 1.5 and you get 330 Baht.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to be even more accurate, then subtract a further 10% from the Baht total. So you are left with roughly 297 Thai Baht. That’s as near as you are going to get, trust me. And here endeth the math lesson.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I scribbled the Dong to Baht formula on a scrap of paper and showed it to my wife. She took one look at it and said “I’ll leave the money stuff up to you”</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wasn’t having that. I already had the suitcases to carry. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“No, listen. If a cup of coffee costs 50,000 Dong, then how much will that be in Thai Baht?” Her eyes opened and closed and various cogs and wheels started turning, before she came out with completely the wrong answer. Best leave the money stuff to me perhaps but credit where it’s due, she eventually had the exchange rate completely figured out - about an hour before we were due to fly home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Haha – you’ll like this – there is even a 1000 Dong note (1.3 Baht) “What the hell can you buy you with that?” I asked a local tour guide.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“oh, it’s enough to buy a small whole chilli or a piece of garlic” he replied. Feeling like I had slightly offended him, I dutifully folded the note up and placed it in my wallet. And not one chilli and garlic seller did we see during our entire stay.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyway, back to the airport taxi because this was our introduction to driving in Vietnam and truthfully, I will never ever complain about Thai drivers again because this was like being in your own personal virtual computer game. Our driver spent the entire journey talking on his mobile phone. At one stage, he decided to wind down his window to let more air in and I swear he was steering the car with his chin. Eight-wheeler trucks came at us in the opposite direction, hogging a non-existent middle lane, and only choosing to tuck in because it was preferable to crashing into us head on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And don’t get me started on the use of the car-horn. In Vietnam, a blast of the horn can mean ‘I’m coming through so watch out’ or it can mean ‘be careful I’m behind you’ Most of the time it just means ‘look at me I’m driving a car’.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m sure the constant din of car horns is far worse in the larger cities but I have no intention of finding out for myself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For our three-night accommodation, we had booked the much-loved <a href=\"http://villavistadalat.com/index.html\">Villa Vista Guest House</a> on the outskirts of the city. Well away from the hustle and bustle (and car horns) of central Dalat, its four rooms in a charming European-style building go for around 3,000 baht a night including amazing views from your own private balcony, a hearty breakfast and the chance to shoot the breeze with Aussie Tim.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tim and his Vietnamese wife, Huong, have run the Villa Vista for several years and along with Anna, the cheerful front-of house manager, a few other members of staff and two large dogs, they all made us very welcome.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tim was like most other Australian blokes I have met in life - friendly, laid-back and nothing was ever too much trouble. If you needed a tour guide for the day, a sim card for your phone or a restaurant recommendation for the evening, Tim was your man. And like many guys of Tim’s age who have settled in South East Asia, he had plenty of stories to tell. He’d actually been an English teacher in Korea for many years in what he now referred to as ‘a past life’ so naturally we talked about teaching but many an hour was spent on his verandah chatting on a diverse range of topics that ran from British comedy shows (he was very fond of The Two Ronnies) to driving across Australia and how dangerous crocodiles were.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I loved Tim’s company and judging by all the five-star reviews on Trip Advisor, so have many other guests.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat3.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>On our first day in town, we had just a late afternoon and evening to kill so we headed off to Dalat’s night market, which was a good half-hour walk from our bed and breakfast - but we made good use of the amble into town. We picked up sim cards at a very friendly mobile phone shop (180,000 Dong each, no passport or ID necessary and fitted in minutes) We stopped off for a coffee (Dalat is a city of coffee shops and oh boy, do the locals adore their sweet coffee) and we sampled the famous bahn mee, that most popular of Vietnamese fast foods that consists of a freshly baked and toasted baguette with a variety of meat fillings and salad (a steal at just 16,000 Dong each) &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dalat is not a nightlife city by any stretch. There isn’t a fat lot to do in the evening other than make a circuit of its night market but such is the size of it, you will be well occupied for a couple of hours. It’s the chance to sample some of the local fruits (the strawberries and mangoes were particularly delicious) and of course the popular Vietnamese pizza, which the seller will prepare in the time it takes to reel off a few photos. You can also marvel at the size of the ludicrously cheap avocados and giggle at the Adidas sportswear knock-offs that aren’t fooling anyone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat4.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>For our first full day in Dalat we had booked a car and driver and he picked us up at 9.00 sharp after breakfast. Everyone hires a car and driver to ‘do Dalat’. It’s simply not a place where you do things independently. In fact, I cant remember seeing a public bus the whole time we were there. It’s worth mentioning at this point that taxi fares in Dalat are cheap – even cheaper than Bangkok. The flagfall fare is 5,000 Dong, Beat that!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The going rate for a car and driver for the day is around 1,000,000 Dong (1,350 Baht) but this doesn’t include entrance fees, tickets for rides and any meals and snacks you might eat along the way.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m not going to bore you with a list of Dalat attractions but there is an embarrassment of riches – and all within an hour’s radius of the city. There are cable cars, quirky temples, hydrangea-covered valleys, waterfalls, lakes, rollercoaster-rides through the forest. You probably need four or five days to do it all but my wife and I didn’t have that sort of time so we asked our driver to take us on a tour of the most popular spots. Big mistake! This was a Saturday and on weekends, thousands of daytrippers come from Ho Chi Minh to enjoy what Dalat has to offer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We first took in a cable-car ride across the valley. It was very pleasant but having to queue for half an hour and having Vietnamese jump ahead of us at every turn rather took the shine off things. If there is one thing we learned about the Vietnamese during our time there – they don’t do queuing. And with me being British, there was bound to be the odd heated exchange.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat5.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our second port of call was a picturesque lake and it was here that things took a rather nasty turn. A food seller, resplendent in her triangular Vietnamese hat, was dispensing coconut ice cream from a polystyrene ice box. The ice cream was then topped with an avocado puree and finished off with grated coconut. I had to have one. It was only when I swallowed the first mouthful that I noticed the state of the seller’s fingernails. As my mother would have said in my childhood - ‘you look you’re going to a funeral. Now get upstairs and get them scrubbed’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Too late. I finished the ice cream and within ten minutes I could sense something was wrong. My stomach started to bubble like a beaker in a mad scientist movie and my head started to throb. I felt all the energy begin to drain from my body.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I put on a brave face and we headed off to the next attraction – a waterfall which could only be reached by a modest roller-coaster ride through the jungle. It would have been fun had you taken the hordes of day-trippers, the inevitable queue jumpers and my rapidly declining health out of the equation. Once we had posed for photos in front of the waterfall, we couldn’t face the queue for the roller-coaster so we decided to walk the forest trail back to the car park. And I stopped several times en route to decorate the footpath.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our private tour guide then suggested a lunch stop but when we pulled up outside the restaurant, I went into vomit overdrive. I flung open the van door and sprinted to the nearest street-drain. It felt like I was fetching up meals I had eaten five years ago. I was in a hell of a state. There was no alternative but to call it a day - and we reluctantly told our driver to take us back to the hotel. I had broken the golden rule of travel – never eat ice cream bought from a roadside vendor. This was further reiterated by our driver - “you should never eat ice cream from these people” he said “and to be honest, I wouldn’t trust the fruit either. It can get washed in some very nasty water indeed”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After an afternoon’s nap back at the digs, I felt much better and we managed an evening meal at the excellent Biang Bistro, just beyond the night market. This was one of Dalat’s premium restaurants but the bill for drinks and food still came to only 600,000 Dong. As we ate our desserts, the British chef came out to say hello and handed us fleecy blankets to wrap around our shoulders. Those Dalat evenings can get mighty chilly in June.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For our second and last full day, we had booked a different tour guide. It was nothing personal. &nbsp;Our driver from day one simply wasn’t available because Sunday was the day he went to church. So we had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Mr Viet.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘You lucky, lucky people” said Aussie Tim over breakfast, when we told him of our plans for the day. “Mr Viet is probably the best tour guide in the whole of the country. Everyone wants Mr Viet”</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat6.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We warmed to Mr Viet instantly. Slimly-built, cheerful, probably still in his twenties, impeccable English (self-taught) he sat us down in his car and read us the rule-book. He had found out about the unsuccessful day we’d had with his colleague the day before and was determined to make amends.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Listen guys, I’m not one of those tour guides who ticks off the attractions on a list and leaves you to your own devices while I grab forty winks in the van. I’ll take you to places with no queues and very few people I promise. And you will see another very interesting side of Dalat. Actually I don’t even like the expression ‘tour guide’. Can you think of something more suitable for me?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“How about ‘English expert?’ I offered.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Yes. English expert. I like that”. And then Mr Viet started up the van and proceeded to give us the most wonderful day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/dalat7.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>He drove us through hillside villages inhabited by ethnic minorities completely lost in time. We sampled fresh avocados by the roadside (not the ice cream variety I might add) He took us to both a silk-weaving farm and a cricket breeding farm (not only fascinating places but we were virtually the only ones there) After a quick stop at one of the most magnificent waterfalls I’ve ever seen, we journeyed on to a weasel coffee plantation, where weasels eat the coffee beans and someone has the job of sorting through their ……… I’ll stop there in case you’re eating dinner. We shared fresh baguettes and soft drinks at a nice cafe before ending the day at a temple constructed almost entirely from broken cups, dishes and beer bottles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And at each and every place, Mr Viet would describe things in great detail but without ever becoming boring. He had one of the most magical gifts a person can have – the gift of enthusiasm. He was witty. He was proud to be Vietnamese. He was interested in you and your family and your life and work in Thailand. He craved knowledge as much as he enjoyed dishing it out. When we parted company at the end of a brilliant day, he felt like a member of the family. We loved him. I whipped out my Dong and gave him a big fat tip.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we return to Dalat in the future – and we will go back for sure – we are only going if our friend Mr Viet is available.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We spent our last evening at a restaurant called the V Cafe. The food was ordinary but the in-house acoustic guitarist - playing to an audience of six - belted out one of the best cover versions of Don McLean\'s \'Vincent\' I\'ve ever heard.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, I hope I’ve encouraged you to give Dalat a try. I think you’ll love it. You don’t need a great deal of money. Eating out is cheap. Taxis are cheap. If you are on a budget, there are loads of economical hotel and guest house options in town (it could be noisy though). Friendly people (said to be the friendliest in Vietnam) and you can eat bahn mee and drink coffee until the cows come home. You will even get the chance to wear your favourite sweater or jacket if you choose the right time of year.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just stay away from that bloody coconut ice cream! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-06-05 22:07:59',1,'2018-06-05 20:48:21','2018-06-05 22:51:14'),(32275,20,'Not your typical day at the beach','not-your-typical-day-beach','Choosing and then studying for a degree in Thailand','I came to study in a graduate program at an international university in Bangkok. I hope that by sharing my scholastic experience in Thailand, those people who are considering a similar move may gain some beneficial insight, helping them to make more informed decisions.','<p>Some people come here for amazing holidays spent exploring beautiful tropical islands, adventurously trekking in the northern jungles or developing oneself at Insight meditation retreats; others come, and stay, out of love and marriage to a Thai; still others to spend their retirement lounging in ease in the balmy weather. Most people, especially Westerners, do not come here to study in a graduate program.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet as unlikely as it seems, I did just that. I came to study in a graduate program at an international university in Bangkok. Given the literally daily news headlines blaring warnings of Thailand’s sickly educational system, it would seem at the least to be a foolish risk and at worst, reckless. Thai culture and society are complex, and after being here for some time it is evident that each foreigner has their own unique experience of Thailand: what one foreigner holds to be a self-evident, universal truth about Thailand another completely disagrees with.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hence it could likely be that what I have found to be true of my graduate degree experience is not true for other foreign students. It is difficult to generalize my personal experience. In spite of this wide variation in subjective individual experience, and perhaps because of, I hope that by sharing some thoughts of, and reflections upon, my scholastic experience in Thailand, those people who are considering a similar move may gain some beneficial insight, helping them to make more informed decisions.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The law of variability</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In my opinion, to begin to understand the Thai educational system there are two fundamental assumptions to be made. The first is what I term the Law of Variability. Speaking broadly and reductively, except for the cuisine, in Thai culture the quality standards of things can vary dramatically. While this is true to an extent everywhere in the world, it is pronounced in Thailand: management and service often differ drastically from one business to the next. Adherence to prescribed quality standards, rules and regulations seems to be a rather whimsical personal choice.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Thai higher education the Law of Variability is strong. While there is a quality assurance system (administered by OHEC, the Office of Higher Education), it has yet to create a common level of quality for Thai universities (QA is one of many factors in this complex situation). There are huge quality gaps between Thai institutes of higher education.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Considering this, it is not the level of prestige a university’s name bears (in Thailand) that is important. One should not think: <em>I am going to study at the most famous university in Thailand!&nbsp;</em>It is best to examine the particular department in which one is interested. Again, while this proposition is true of higher education globally (in the West universities often have a few renowned departments that receive the bulk of funding and attention, leaving the others to struggle along) it is even more so in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Each department is run by a dean and each dean possesses their own amount of managerial competency, interpersonal skills, quality standards and educational vision. Everything is affected by the leadership; most obviously, which persons are hired on (and who are not) and why, the extent of adherence to quality assurance standards, and development of the curriculum. Therefore, within a given university the quality of departments frequently differs greatly depending on the style of leadership. It is not uncommon for a director or a dean to be a best friend or relative of someone senior in the university’s administration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>An iteration of the Law of Variability is that some international programs have a solid majority of Thai lecturers, who teach in English, because only the minimum number of foreign faculty required for the program to be legally termed international are hired.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>\'Isolated\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In reality this type of international program is aimed at domestic Thai students and is ‘international’ only in name. Without unduly disparaging these programs, it is not unheard for them to consist of upwards of 90% Thai students, with whom the teacher frequently speaks Thai in class. The few foreign students in these classes can feel isolated. On the other hand, there are international programs that have a significant number of international faculty, whose Thai teachers are more globally aware and which do sincerely try to reach an international target group. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second assumption is called the dual track system. This is a tacit, underlying system that pervades Thai education, from elementary school through doctoral programs. In the dual track system, students either choose, or are placed by teachers, on the minimal track or the regular track.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the minimal track, students are allowed, or expected by teachers, to do only the minimum amount necessary to pass the class. All that is asked of them is that they at least meet the course’s basic requirements. Students on this track may be either personally unmotivated for whatever reasons (one common instance are the complacent kids of rich parents, who have been taught that they don’t need to exert themselves because their parents will buy their education for them) or may have been designated as incapable by their teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The regular track is for everyone else. This dual track system is intuitively understood and partaken in by all stakeholders. The existence of two separate pathways each with its own standards creates a unique classroom culture and sense of academic inclusion/exclusion in Thailand. It is a source of disharmony.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Given the above, a litany of complaints or a vituperative tirade against Thai education might reasonably be expected to follow. So it should be surprising when I say that, speaking for myself only, while not naively nor blindly denying that there have been negative aspects, I’ve had an overwhelmingly positive time. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I liked the master’s degree program so much in fact that I went on to do a second round at the doctoral level.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The master’s degree was an international program in language, literature and culture. As literature is my passion it was astounding to be able to find a program in Thailand in that exact subject. It never ceased to surprise me, and my family and friends back home, that I was studying English literature in the Southeast Asian nation of Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This program had an international ensemble of foreign lecturers who were each experts in their fields (viz., they had long lists of journal publications and extensive teaching experience at well-recognized universities). The content of the courses was interesting, challenging and intellectually stimulating. I read catholically and extensively, truly expanding my mind. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A terrific advisor</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>While the dual track system was inevitably present, the students were pushed to do their best, to stretch themselves and surpass the minimum. At the time, the master’s thesis was the most difficult challenge I had ever faced. At least ninety to a hundred pages! It was terrifying. I was unsure if I could accomplish that task. Luckily my advisor was generous with her time and always willing to answer my questions.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was with her assistance that I was able to produce a written work that I remain proud of to this day. I wonder if I had studied in America if my advisor would have been equally as giving of his or her time and attention; knowing what I know about my own culture and the state of American higher education today (drastic budget cuts in most every state, overburdened teachers), I doubt it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The master’s program was a blessing. It had excellent international teachers, thought provoking course content, challenging assignments and clear quality standards. What made the entire experience special though was the setting; that it took place within the context of Thai culture and society.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was imbued me with an array of different perspectives and interpersonal experiences that I never would have gotten back home. If I had studied in a program in America that was of a similarly international flavor, it would have still taken place within the American cultural context: the internal class culture would have been dominated by the external, omnipresent American culture, even if unintentionally, thereby detracting from the international experience.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Studying literature in Thailand surrounded by teachers and classmates who came from all over the globe forced me to not only consider English literature from new viewpoints but as well my cultural background and perceived identity. The experience helped shape me into a more multi-cultural person.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The doctoral program has been a different experience. The program is at the same university, but it is in a different department with different leadership. It consists of 1.5 years of course work followed by 1.5 years of dissertation work.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In this particular department all of the teachers are Thai. Let me be clear: this is not a complaint, but the stating of a fact. All of the teachers are skilled in English (as should be expected at the doctoral level) and have solid educational and professional backgrounds. They are highly qualified.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, certain cultural things arose. The dual track system was more prevalent. A few teachers were too tolerant of poor quality work, while other teachers disagreed with them and in turn became overly strict on their own expectations of students. To put it bluntly, some teachers were too lax while others were too strict. There was thusly much more variance between classes and teachers in course expectations than there was in my master’s degree program. Secondly, while all the teachers were adept in English, still, somehow there was often confusion about practical matters such as assignment requirements and due dates. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>\'Concern\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>A larger concern at first was the teachers’ method of instruction. They had been drilled by OHEC on the critical importance of making the classroom student centered; however, perhaps they had only been trained in theory and not in praxis because every teacher taught in the same way: for every class a student was pre-selected to present a 2-3 hour lecture. That is, on day one of class every teacher went over the syllabus with the group, and each student selected topics and dates for their presentations according to the timeline.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In reality that meant two things: one, the instructors never taught. They instead provided approximately 10-15 minutes of feedback at the end of each lesson (sometimes none at all). Two, we, the students, taught each other. In essence we were paying a rather large sum of money to teach each other, thereby losing out on the knowledge that would have been gained from actual instruction by the experts, our teachers. A three hour student presentation is a fine activity at the graduate level -- but not every single class.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was a major problem for me. I seriously questioned if I was wasting my money and would be better off changing to another department, or even another university. Luckily, the students voiced their concerns and the leadership was responsive to the feedback, so that from the second semester on student presentations were limited to no more than 45 minutes, and teachers were required to teach the remaining portion of the class. But they did improve the instruction, and as noted earlier, the teachers were highly qualified, so it turned out well.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All in all, despite the program consisting of only Thai instructors and there being occasional communicational gaps, I have had a great experience so far (I’m halfway through). Two of the teachers are among the very best I have ever studied with, and have motivated me to excel and been extremely supportive.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Validity of degree</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Both expatriates here and people back home have asked me if a graduate degree from a Thai university is valid; they wonder if it is recognized outside the country. It’s a fair question and one I’ve wrestled with a while. In my humble opinion, it depends.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In today’s knowledge based society employers increasingly care less about a university’s name, geographic location or even ranking and more about graduates’ competency. Putting aside bias, if an employer is presented a choice between a candidate who went to a prestigious university but opted for the minimal track and therefore has little skills to show, or a candidate who attended a lesser known university but who is demonstrably competent, they will take the latter. In the 21<sup>st</sup> century it is the quality of your work and the ability to demonstrate the soft skills such as leadership, teamwork, creativity and critical thinking that matters most.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand is a hierarchical society in which status is fundamental, hence university prestige has traditionally been a key determinant of graduates’ desirability; however, this is slowly changing as the Thai economy has been hobbled for decades by a severe shortage of skilled labor so that now employers are forced to hire whomever is competent, no matter their educational background. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Along this line of thought, if during their coursework the student pursues career related development opportunities such as submitting papers to and presenting at conferences, networking and participating in professional development workshops, they can be justifiably confident in their post-graduate career. My own strategy is to focus on the international quality standard rather than the Thai standard. In the process of doing my degree, I want to feel that I am preparing myself to be able to work anywhere in the world, be it back home, Japan, Singapore or elsewhere.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I think this is a reasonable mindset because I assume that if I were studying in a doctoral program in America it would be extremely demanding.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To me, studying in Thailand doesn’t mean that I am permitted to try less hard. Keeping an international outlook on what I’m doing helps me to feel confident that I am receiving a quality education. As I’ve begun writing my dissertation, what I’ve done is to find as many published American dissertations in my subject area as possible and to use these as exemplars for my own work. This assures me that I am striving toward an international standard.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those who are on the minimal track may not find their graduate certificate that useful, internationally. As these students have only met the bare requirements of their coursework they haven’t acquired the real world skills necessary for a successful career. I believe that for these graduates their degree is likely valid only within Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking specifically to the topic of foreign lecturers at graduate programs in Thailand, few quality foreign instructors want to come here due to comparatively low remuneration, the weak quality of Thai education, the frequent and ongoing shifts in governmental educational policy that disrupt higher education, and the lack of upward mobility for foreign faculty (e.g., lack of access to academic titles, directorships and dean-ships).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nowadays, Thai higher education is desperate for <em>any</em> foreign instructors willing to work here, no matter how qualified. Foreign students in international programs who choose the minimal track will not be so desirable internationally and may find themselves stuck in Thailand, in teaching positions which they do not like.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a nutshell, I contend that the international validity of a graduate degree from a Thai university is highly dependent upon the quality of the students’ work and their ability to demonstrate the soft skills demanded by modern business.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Research is key</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, for those who are interested in studying in Thailand, make sure to research as much as possible the particular department that you are interested in. Check out the faculty and their publications and professional experience. See if the department has a journal and if so, what its ranking is.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Correspond with faculty or department advisors, asking them any questions you may have, then observe both the content and the manner of their replies. Do they provide glib or thoughtful answers? Are they courteous or is there a subtle feeling of their being threatened by your enquiries? Secondly, understand that if you do decide to give it a go, in every classroom there exists to some degree two sets of standards for the students. It is inherent to the Thai education system and one must adapt to it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Reflecting back on my experience, there were times in the course of my studies when I felt like I was hiking off-trail in the jungle without a map or compass. Being exposed to so many different viewpoints from all sides while living within the context of a foreign culture was disorienting. But isn’t that the essence of a genuine multi-cultural experience? Getting lost, then finding yourself again and seeing things in a new light?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the final analysis, studying in an international program in Thailand is usually cheaper than in a Western country (at least it’s cheaper than in America), and if you do your research, find a decent program and push yourself to gain demonstrable skills, then pursuing a graduate degree here can be a wonderful, multi-cultural experience that will indelibly change your life.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Conversely, if you pick a university without doing diligent research then caveat emptor: you might be in for a surprisingly dreadful time. The keys to success are to be flexible in choosing your course of study (if there is a major that isn’t exactly what you planned on but the department looks better managed than your major of choice, it is advisable to opt for the better managed one), be able to adapt to the educational curriculum and vision that your particular department’s leadership has instilled, and if you come to find that it isn’t your cup of tea be prepared to get out quickly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Only one thing is definite: It isn’t going to be like it is back home.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Jesse Sessoms</strong></p>',NULL,'2018-06-10 16:50:44',1,'2018-06-10 16:41:02','2018-06-10 16:50:54'),(32276,104,'The gutties dinnae fit well','gutties-dinnae-fit-well','OK class.

A large poorly equipped room without even a computer - is entered and exited through the double doors at the front center of the wall backing out into the main hall.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Of the thirteen desks spread around the room, the six on the immediate right of the door are Thai student teachers, the two behind those along the back wall are the Chinese teachers.

Nae mair than forty-five but looking at least a decade older.

Conor sees him, jumps up.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Are you gonna go for one?\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Recused - they chum out shoulder tae shoulder - solidarity.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Ma other co-teachers agreed wit ma stand, though all three thought Ah\'d gone tae far. . .Ah was inclined tae disagree. Ah unnerstaun the Conors of this world, they\'ve tae be put back disproportionately in their place. Conor was just sniffin out his ground deciphering where he cun take a pish, an where he cannae. He noo kens his territory, we have attained a mutual respect, Ah dinnae see him - causing waves in the future.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>At ma evening corporate classes Ah\'ve to tread mair carefully wit the natives, if ye dinnae let them take the pish at least tae some extent they\'ll have ye replaced with another teacher who will. Being belittled, or patronised is a part of the everyday work concept in Thailand. If you dinnae accept it early on, there\'s nae danger ye gonna make it - just rollover and think of scran on the table.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The aulds have the positions of authority, they\'re the one\'s tae watch when yer back is turned, while ye\'re bending over tae bung in the CD. They\'re the one\'s who like tae grass that they already ken everythin aboot English. They\'ll be explaining the grammar tae the rest o the class before ye\'ve finished pre-teaching it. They\'ll be the one\'s who try tae answer every single question ye ask; they\'ve tae be the number one biggest roaster.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>This evening Ah\'m teaching a government body, so the director general will be the most competitively active fir this title. Alongside the aforementioned forms of stupidity, this evening the general also decides tae be a chauvinistic pig. Tonight, having given his job description and various duties, having made his job sound slightly less prestigious than the Sultan of Bruni\'s. When his female staff begins their descriptions of their jobs. The general starts out with, \"Making myself pretty,\" noo looking very pleased wit himself he continues \"doing my hair,\" while smiling all over his face \"putting on my make.\" If that dinnae offend yer rectum - the female government employees only start giggling girly fashion at his condescending remarks - ye widnae believe it, they\'re flattered!</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Another important aspect is the sanook factor, sanook is the Thai word fir \'fun\'. When British people play a game, or watch one, we dinnae generally get excited until the end, an only then if it\'s neck an neck. In total constant, Thais get straight on the ceiling an generally stay there til the game has finished, cheering, applauding, laughing joyfully. Less, of course, you lose em; ye have tae maintain their natural high by awarding points keeping the teams level - feed the fire so tae speak.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>My pal Stephen says Thai people are like lights, easy tae switch on in the first place, but ye have tae be careful they dinnae go out - once their subdued their nae so easy tae switch back on. Anyway, any shite game\'ll dae, hangman is a favourite, let em come up an write on the board, interactive learning - the student becomes the teacher. Though, dinnae trust em tae spell the word or ye\'re be there all nite. Ah once had a student who manage tae spell apple, \'a p e a r n\'.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Corporate English is a complete waste an intrusion of everybody\'s time, the students never so much as improve their pronunciation.

Stuck between biting his lip and perpetual head scratching mode, Dave was unable to work out why his bank balance declined in proportion to his length of stay in Thailand with his bar girlfriends. Dave probably still holds the record for having the most expensive holidays in Thailand, despite travelling economy class. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All things come to an end and one by one our yesteryear heroes retired to rehab’ clinics or welfare back in their respective homelands as the credit card boom ended.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>\"The King is dead, long live the King\"</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>And then the Russians came! The skies above Suvarnabhumi airport turned dark with Aeroflot Boeing 767s, bringing the same stony faced looking individuals reminiscent of the cold war era and familiar to those of us who faced them on the opposite side of the iron curtain back in the 70s.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Discernible by white skin covered in red lobster like blotches of sunburn, they were usually found haggling over the price of a box of Chang in the local 7/11. Then the rouble lost its value and just like after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Russians went home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There followed a period of quiet change. Who can forget the days of the delicious green curry served in that little restaurant that you went back to the following week and in its place was Anurak and friends’ motorcycle taxis, which a month later became a pharmacy.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For the first time in history foreigners could also now own a bar on the world-famous Walking Street as they went bankrupt.

A now familiar sight as guides took lead with small coloured pennants and the ants followed dutifully behind in double abreast formation, with camera’s clicking.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although good for tourism, Mr Thai pineapple seller never reaped the rewards as the sixty seat air condition boxes sped past in a haze of diesel fumes, while the occupants with noses pressed against the glass peered down at him en-route to another must see scheduled itinerary. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>\"Begin at the beginning,\" the King said, very gravely, \"and go on till you come to the end: then stop\"</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>And like Alice in Wonderland, there we come to the end of our own tale.

Old Pattaya from its R&amp;R rise during the Vietnam War and Bob Dylan singing, ‘The times they are a-changin’, to its ‘Rebel without a cause’ decline after the 2008 recession was a place on the fringes of society.

(More on that later.)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Students at schools in Thailand are used to foreign teachers coming and going; it’s the nature of the game, I suppose. Growing up, I really don’t remember many teachers coming and going. In the rural schools I went to, if you were hired as a teacher, you were pretty much there for life — roots down, kids there, part of the community, the works.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As an expat teacher though, that’s often not true, and I’ve noticed it’s hard for kids to wrap their heads around why teachers are often coming and going, even at international schools.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When the end of term arrives, and word gets out of what teachers are staying and which ones are off, there’s always the kids that take it in their stride — thanks, good luck (or good riddance), etc—and those that are genuinely upset.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It certainly makes sense, considering some of these kids spend more time with their teachers than they do at home, so it can be jarring to have such a change. I know I always grow attached to “my kids,” especially those students that for whatever reason I have directly worked with every year at the school; I keep in touch with many former students, and watching them grow up makes me feel especially old. Still, for them, a teacher leaving can seemingly be like losing a family member.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Obviously, different teachers connect (or don’t) with different students in different ways, but in my school-leavings thus far, I have just been blown away by how caring kids can be — especially those that you could have sworn didn’t give a toss about ever seeing you again.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This round, I had a group of students make a full-on going away video for me, complete with individual interviews and video editing that had all of us tearing up on the last day — where was that effort for assignments anyway? Other students, ones I may only have encountered a few times, wrote the nicest notes and/or gave parting gifts, lamenting highly specific situations I otherwise wouldn’t have given a second thought to; who knew?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I guess what I’m trying to say here is that, as a teacher, you never know whose life you’re going to make an impact on. There are always those days that make you wonder what it is you’re doing with your life, but I would argue there are few professions that can allow a person to make so many direct contributions to the lives of others.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Trying to balance between professional career growth and… loyalty, if you will, isn’t easy as a teacher, but I’ll always remember the advice a veteran teacher gave me when I first started that didn’t really resonate with me then: students will always be great, no matter where you go.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my limited experience thus far, I can definitely agree; still, parting is indeed such sweet sorrow.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>I hope you enjoyed my blog.

And yet I had never been to a Thai Premier League football match. It was time to put that right.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So who was playing?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was a mid-table clash between Chonburi FC and Suphanburi FC at Chonburi\'s stadium, which is about an hour\'s drive from Bangkok - if you\'re fortunate to have a driver who knows where he\'s going.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So not the makings of a classic then?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Both teams are having very average seasons. Chonburi can\'t score enough goals and Suphanburi are the draw specialists. In fact over half of Suphanburi\'s games had been low-scoring draws so this was a game between a team that struggles to find the net and a team that don\'t let many goals in. &nbsp;The game had nil-nil written all over it in great big black marker pen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Why had it taken 28 years?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve never felt motivated enough to attend a match- and that\'s purely based on the handful of televised Thai games I\'ve seen. &nbsp;After twenty minutes of intricate sideways / backwards passing movements and shots on goal that end up in the next post-code, I lose the will to live.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not only that but it always feels like there\'s an element of passion missing among the crowd - and I\'ll get on to that later. Perhaps I\'ve just watched the wrong games.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>But come clean, this isn\'t actually your first attempt to see a Thai premier league match is it?&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t talk about it much but I did make arrangements to go and see Port FC play at home a couple of months ago. Port FC are one of the top teams in the Thai Premier League and regularly play to packed houses. They also have quite a sizable farang following largely thanks to their stadium being situated in central Bangkok. It\'s certainly the easiest ground to get to from my home in Samut Prakarn.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So anyway, I\'ve caught the underground to Klongtoey MRT, which is about a ten-minute walk from the Port FC stadium and I\'m making my way to the ground with about an hour to spare before kick off. I thought I\'d have something to eat, have a mooch around the souvenir shop and soak up the atmosphere. But something didn\'t feel right. Where were all the supporters wearing their replica shirts? There wasn\'t a soul around bar the Klongtoey market traders cleaning up at the end of their day shift.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I got to the stadium, it was in complete darkness. I was standing in front of the ticket office scratching my head when a drunken Thai guy ambled over to tell me that the game I had come to watch was actually next week. Then of course there\'s that horrible realisation that you\'ve come on the wrong night. I had no other choice but to pick my way through all the rotting vegetables and fish guts and head back to the train station. My wife is still laughing about it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What a plonker!</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I know. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So coming back to the Chonburi v Suphanburi game, who was along for the ride?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was me of course and there was Ben, who is my best Thai friend - and his charming girlfriend, Na. &nbsp;Both Ben and Na are from Suphanburi so they would be cheering on the away team.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chatting to Na on the drive down to Chonburi in Ben\'s new pick-up truck, it turned out that her name is actually pronounced \'Neigh\'. So I showed her how to spell it so that a foreigner would get the pronunciation exactly right and also told her it was the noise that a horse makes. She warmed to me instantly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Chonburifc1.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once we got to the stadium, we would be meeting up with Chonburi FC superfan and all-round \'nice bloke\', Dale Farrington. Dale not only runs the Chonburi FC English-language website but also did <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/hot-seat/dale-farrington\">a hot seat interview for Ajarn back in 2014</a>. Dale has been supporting The Sharks (Chonburi\'s nickname) for years and he can recall the great days of 2007 when Chonburi became the first provincial club to lift the Thai Premier League trophy. However, it\'s fair to say that a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>How was your pre-match meal?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Very nice thank you. Ben had sorted us out a nice Thai-Italian fusion restaurant overlooking the sea <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/seasalt.bangpra/\">called Sea Salt</a>. &nbsp;It turned out to be a place for Chonburi\'s hi-so \'beautiful people\' - what my old gaffer in England would have referred to as a \'poseur\'s hole\'. &nbsp;No, seriously, the food - both quality and presentation - were excellent and at least all the dishes we ordered arrived at the same time. 165 baht for a water melon shake was a bit ambitious though.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We had planned to stop off for coffee en route to the stadium but the drive through Chonburi City was horrible. There were so many roadworks going on that the main road shrank from four lanes to two in places and then there were the numerous traffic lights you had to negotiate. &nbsp;I told Dale about the congestion and he said \"oh no, you should have taken the Chonburi by-pass\". I told my wife about it the following day. She regularly drives around the Chonburi area with her work. \"You should have taken the by-pass\" she advised.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You know what - we should have taken the by-pass. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Chonburifc5.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>And then you turned up at the wrong stadium again didn\'t you?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hey, that wasn\'t my fault! That was Ben the driver and his inability to use a sat nav. \"I\'ve been to Chonburi\'s football stadium loads of times\", he said. \"I used to study part-time at the university next door\", he said. \"I\'ve never watched a game there but I\'ve done a few laps around the running track\", he said.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So we\'ve ended up outside some tiny little stadium, somewhere in Chonburi Province, and even though the official kick off time is two hours away, the place is like the grave. The only person around is a handyman doing things with blue pvc pipe.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We had arranged to meet Dale the Chonburi superfan in front of the club\'s souvenir shop so Ben approached the handyman. \"Excuse me but where is the souvenir shop?\" &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It\'s at the bottom of the main stand at Chonburi Football Club, which is about a 30-minute drive from here\", the handyman replied.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wrong stadium again!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I pointed a finger at Ben and said \"You\'re fired!\" But I wish you\'d been there to hear the excuses he was coming out with.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I messaged Dale to tell him that we were going to be delayed because we\'d gone to the wrong football ground. Beep! Beep! A message back. <em>\"If only there were a Chonburi FC English language website that was fussed over for hours on end by a true Chonburi fan and gave you all the information you could ever need - including directions on how to get to the stadium\"</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>But you got to the right place eventually?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, we got to the official Chonburi FC stadium an hour before the start. Plenty of time to park up, meet Dale and his friends and then grab some refreshments. I must say the Chonburi stadium looks impressive from the outside. It\'s in pleasant, leafy surroundings, the floodlights were on, the club shop seemed to be doing a decent trade and there were plenty of company-sponsored activities for the younger supporters. There were also more snack vendors than you could shake a stick at. The whole atmosphere (at least outside the ground) brought back the buzz of going to see a mid-week football match in England. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Chonburifc3.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>And inside the ground?&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We bought the most expensive seats in the VIP section (200 baht each) because it was near to where Dale sits (he\'s a season ticket holder of course) We were seated almost on the half-way line and high up in the third tier of the stand with a completely unobstructed view. Great seats!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once we got settled, I took in the surroundings and it\'s painfully obvious that Chonburi is a club on its uppers. I follow Dale on Twitter and he\'s constantly bemoaning the club\'s lack of ambition and lack of funds. The whole stadium could do with some serious tender loving care, starting perhaps with a good lick of blue paint. Even a resurfacing of the perimeter running track would smarten things up no end.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It looks like a club that\'s fallen on hard times and now just living on past glories. It was sad to see because the club has great potential. But it\'s all about an investor or visionary who\'s willing to splash the cash and that\'s just not happening at the present time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Many there?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The official announcement put the attendance at 3,800 but I think that figure had received a serious Thai massage. As Dale remarked to me, that sort of number would indicate the ground was half-full - but anyone with half a head for figures could see it was nowhere near that. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The huge sections behind both goals were virtually empty save for a small cluster of Chonburi \'ultras\' making a racket with their musical instruments at one end and the couple of hundred Suphanburi fans who had braved the journey, at the other. I would have put the attendance at closer to 2,000 personally.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Chonburifc2.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Frankly, it was never going to be a well-attended game. Chonburi aren\'t exactly playing champagne football at the moment. Mid-table, draw specialists Suphanburi were not the most glamorous of opponents, and to top it off, you had Belgium playing Tunisia in the World Cup. I wonder how many hundreds decided that Hazard, De Bruyne and Lukuka were a far more attractive option than a relatively humdrum Thai League fixture and opted to stay home?</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So to the game itself, what was the first half like?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You know that incredible feeling of relief that you get when you finally get the chance to take off a pair of new shoes that have been killing you all day? That feeling of relief when you chuck the shoes into a corner of the room, flop back on the sofa and proclaim \'Oh my God! That\'s better than sex!\' Well that\'s how I felt when the ref blew the whistle for half-time. It was better than sex.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\'t think there was a single incident for either set of fans to get excited about in that first 45 minutes. A midfield war of attrition? A game for the purists? It was dire. &nbsp;You know what, I played the game myself both at schoolboy level and in my twenties and I was a fairly decent footballer. &nbsp;If I could have turned back the clock, I\'m convinced I could have stepped on to that pitch and held my own. I watched that first half constantly shaking my head at far too many players who simply couldn\'t perform the basics. &nbsp;Players who couldn\'t even complete a simple sideways pass to a team-mate twenty meters away.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps I\'m being a tad harsh, because there was much to be admired about some of the midfield play. There was some good intricate passing and decent ball control but if there is one thing I\'ve noticed about Thai football (at all levels it seems) it\'s in that final third, when strikers are bearing down on goal, that it all goes Pete Tong and shots end up in row Z or somewhere out near the corner flag or trickle harmlessly into the goalkeeper\'s gloves.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In recent times, I actually came out of my football retirement and played in an eight-a-side game on an artificial pitch with a bunch of Thai guys - all of them fitness fanatics in their twenties. And even that game unfolded in exactly the same way. When it came to midfield possession, I was in awe at the technical ability of those around me - but get a sight of goal and they couldn\'t hit a cow\'s backside with a stringed instrument.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I wonder what goes wrong? Is it a mental thing? Yours truly had four attempts at goal and hit the back of the net four times. Even at 52 years of age. Sorry, I had to get that one in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So you enjoyed the half-time break?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, it was the chance to go outside, stretch my legs and get something to drink because my throat was drier than a baby camel\'s chewing rag. The club doesn\'t allow food and drink to be taken inside the stadium. I\'m not sure if that\'s the case at all Thai Premier League grounds but that just seems daft to me. We all know how much the Thais love their snacking. &nbsp;On such a hot and muggy evening, and with the glare of the floodlights making it feel <span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">psychologically&nbsp;</span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">ten degrees warmer, I was desperate for a bottle of water to sip on. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/Chonburifc4.jpg\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></span>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The second half was better?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, it was much better. It couldn\'t have been any worse. Not only did the crowd have a couple of Chonburi goals to cheer but a few of the Suphanburi players turned pantomime villain by rolling around on the floor as if they\'d been shot by snipers. I don\'t follow the Thai League that closely but from what I pick up on social media, gamesmanship and time-wasting are becoming a rather unsavory aspect of the game these days.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>So how would you summarize the standard?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is a very intriguing question. I would put the standard of the game I watched somewhere on a par with about level 7-8 of the English football league pyramid, which is very much non-league, part-time level.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the clubs I follow back in England are Sutton Coldfield FC. It\'s a suburb of Birmingham near to where my brother lives and I have watched The Mighty Royals play many times in front of about 100-120 die-hard fans. Up until last season - when Sutton sadly got relegated - they were playing in the Evostik Premier, which is level 7 of the English league. They are - for want of a better expression - a raggle taggle collection of plumbers, electricians, lorry drivers and builders mates. But I bet they\'d still give either Chonburi or Suphanburi a decent game.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>What\'s missing from the Thai game compared to watching football back home?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>What was missing from the game I saw between Chonburi and Suphanburi is probably a better question? I think the answer is \'passion\'. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve been in Thailand long enough to remember the very first time Manchester United came to Bangkok to play the Thai national team in a pre-season friendly. It\'s so long ago that the Rajamangala national stadium hadn\'t even been built. We\'re talking the old national stadium near Siam Square. Anyway, I was lucky enough to secure a couple of tickets and went along to the game with Mark, a close teaching colleague. Mark loved his football and was a fanatical West Bromwich Albion supporter.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The match came and went. I can\'t remember anything about it other than Teddy Sheringham made his United debut and in 90 minutes, never managed a single shot on goal. As the crowd filed out at the end of the game, I turned to Mark and saw by the look on his face that he\'d been just as underwhelmed as me by the whole occasion.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"What was missing?\" I asked him.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"The passion\", he replied without a second\'s hesitation. \"We go to a football match in England and regardless of the level and the size of the crowd, the result matters. Your team wins and you\'re on cloud nine. Your team loses and your whole weekend\'s ruined. That match today felt like we were watching an England v Scotland schoolgirl international. No one really cared who won or lost\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mark was right. I\'ve been at non-league games in England with barely a hundred home fans watching and the atmosphere can be electric because there\'s some fat bloke hurling dog\'s abuse at the linesman from six feet away. Then perhaps both the home and away dugouts will get involved in a bit of touchline pushing and shoving. The result matters to everyone concerned. It\'s what I love most about watching football.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But at Chonburi FC on Saturday night, the only time I felt any degree of tension and passion was when Dale and his English pals rose to their feet to loudly question the referee\'s eyesight and parentage. &nbsp;Now that\'s more like it I thought. Let\'s ramp up the atmosphere a few notches.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Thai supporters around us just smiled. Sure, they wanted to see their team win but I just don\'t think the final outcome is anywhere near as important. \"Oh we lost again. Now where are we going to go for dinner?\" And off they go - boyfriend and girlfriend, holding hands in their matching replica shirts.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There will be many neutrals saying \'well isn\'t that lovely - and such a refreshing contrast from the evils that blight the English game. Two thumbs up for the Thai culture\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Naaah, it\'s not for me. It\'s too nicey-nicey. I like my football-watching experience to be working class and grubby. I almost craved that air of menace as you make your way from car-park to stadium, taking care to conceal your club\'s colours and avoid running into an opposing \'firm\'. &nbsp;I missed that just as much as I missed baying police dogs, ticket touts, programme sellers, the hot dogs dripping with fried onions and the beery farts. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I shouldn\'t be generalising though, not after experiencing just one Thai Premier League game. Perhaps I need to go and see how things are at the bigger clubs - the likes of Buriram and Muang Thong Thani or of course Port FC, with their vocal farang contingent. Perhaps it\'s there where I\'ll discover the real passion within the Thai Premier League. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Maybe I just never got to witness Thai club football on one of its better nights.&nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-06-25 17:54:02',1,'2018-06-25 07:57:10','2018-06-25 20:57:51'),(32280,20,'Solving the \'boring campus\' issue','solving-boring-campus-issue','Ten low or no cost ideas to make your campus sticky','Most college administrators and professors here in Thailand are familiar with the student complaint: campus is boring! Some universities are trying to solve this problem using the idea of “stickiness” In fact \'the sticky campus\' is now a designer phrase.','<p>Most college administrators and professors here in Thailand are familiar with the student complaint: campus is boring! Some universities are trying to solve this problem using Malcolm Gladwell’s idea of “stickiness” from his book, <em>Tipping Point</em> published in 2000. The sticky campus is now a designer phrase.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For an idea to be sticky it must be real, tangible or concrete. This often means it has a physical presence like a fruit tree, a banquet table, or a Frisbee basket. The idea must also be simple and obvious to everyone who sees it, moves around it or climbs inside.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Crucially, the idea must have a moral basis. It cannot be frivolous, but instead must convey a value that has meaning. Finally, the idea must tell a story. It begins a narrative that goes on and on. Here are 10 ideas that are low or no cost and meet all of the requirements. I assume even a small campus has resources and employees who can easily put these ideas into practice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) See that vast, hot, uninviting parking lot? What a huge waste of space, right? Wrong. Plant fruit trees right between the cars. I mean fruit trees that bear fruit people can pick and eat. Between those trees put in benches, picnic tables and even hammocks. People meet in parking lots naturally. No excuses, please. Make it work. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>2) Sticking</em> with plants (I can’t resist), use them inside with <u>movable</u> furniture to create open, but inviting nooks and crannies in hallways, cafeterias, cafes or anywhere there are informal, public spaces. The idea is to connect the outside and inside as much as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3) Get rid of those cork or fabric bulletin boards and those tired, frayed Word doc announcements. Replace them with huge, writeable surfaces like next generation, interactive whiteboards where everyone is encouraged to doodle, sketch, announce and complain. Make sure the boards and staff can handle hard use, abuse and graffiti (some of which might be quite wonderful). Be creative with your solutions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4) Use long, elegant banquet tables as free charging stations. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>5) You absolutely must have good Wi Fi everywhere all of the time. Get rid of password protected guest networks. Let everyone everywhere into the network. Find other solutions for protection, bandwidth, etc…</p>\r\n\r\n<p>6) Offer free space to local farmer’s markets or vendors that share values 1 or 2 days a week when the time and context allows the right traffic. Sticky retail space is integrated into the natural flow of people and ideas on your campus. Additionally, <u>the campus coffee shop cannot be a low end, contract supplier.&nbsp;</u>Do anything you must do to find someone with a passion for coffee shop culture and quality and support them enthusiastically and endlessly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>7) Encourage academic and even administrative departments to create collaborative social media projects like blogs, websites, online magazines, journals, etc…Dedicated spaces where these groups meet and work on campus encourage sticky activities and thinking. When internal departments like accounting or recruitment create social media spaces collaboration and institutional charisma develop.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>8) A Frisbee golf course should span the entire campus. Players claim space as they tour the campus from fruit bearing parking lot to isolated, carpool sheds. Do not underestimate the power of this idea to open the space and broaden awareness of the territory.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>9) Encourage professors to create blended classrooms. Students can post work, collaborate, download assignments, readings, etc…from shared class, social spaces. Maybe they will not use Blackboard, but are willing to use Line or Facebook. Do it! Why not? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>10) Allow students access to small, retail spaces where they can experiment and test out their own ideas for businesses, social interaction or whatever they wish. One school I know has a free, bike repair shop. Another example is similar to the net café refugee trend in Japan, but instead students rent a partially open cubby with water, juice and coffee and study materials for temporary use.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Erich R.

My friends told me not to get involved with a girl who I acquainted in a bar. My family said that we were too different and it was too soon - but it just felt right and it still does.','<p>I woke late that particular morning, Tangmo had returned home and was showering, \"Hurry up, babe!\" I <span>shouted encouragingly.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"You-still-here?\" startled \"You gonna be late for your school,\" she sounded concerned.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The job was important, we didn\'t have much money and with a baby on the way. Tangmo, was due to deliver a little girl the following month, and like she said, \'We-hav-to-get-rea-dy-for-her.\' I<span>&nbsp;appreciated that a new life, a gentle and defenseless being - I wanted to give her the best of starts. Nonetheless, that was easier said than done, when you live in a so-called developing country with a military government and things are heading south.</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I graduated from university at exactly the wrong moment, Summer 2007. Up until then, every one that gained a first class honors degree in the USA was basically set up for life.&nbsp;</span><span>What my generation was confronted with was the collapse of tried and trusted financial institutions - the cave in of a system which had stood for a hundred and fifty years or so. Mass unemployment, people being evicted from their homes on a national scale, jalopies being used as lodgings, the generally accepted rules of society were thrown out the window - this was life but not as we had previously known it.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>So, having started out as a teacher in a private school, although briefly and having been made redundant, because the last to come is the first to go. Then having been fortunate enough to find another position in another private school, only to have the same thing happen again. The quota - the number of students that enrolled in the school the following semester dropped dramatically. The American family\'s mortgage, finance on the vehicle, utility bills, basic living costs, all came before the kid\'s private education. Things were hard, only the chosen few were unaffected - hence, once again the last to come was inevitably the first to be asked to hit the road.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I literally ended up working at a MacDonald\'s restaurant, the guy on shakes. Fast food became even more popular in the downslide, big meals for small charges, value for money became the mantra - survival mentality.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Long after having become more disillusioned with my predicament, some relief arrived - it wasn\'t the cavalry but it\'d suffice. My mother\'s half-brother whom I was close to as a boy - passed and left me a little money. Uncle Jack once wrote a novel which was published, back in the seventies he achieved local notoriety but later slipped back into obscurity. Despite the fact that, it was only a few thousand dollars I was grateful to him and used these bucks to venture into the unknown, to dip my toe into the great abyss. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Having come to Thailand, a ten thousand mile journey from New England, into South-East Asia for a holiday. Then on a recommendation of a fellow American I met in a bar in Koa San Road, (an area in Bangkok which foreigners frequent) I finally procured stable gainful employment in my preferred occupation.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The day was 17 May 2011, the contract was for twelve months and&nbsp;</span>it came with full health insurance, free meals and most importantly of all for somebody with less than $500 to his name - accommodation. (I only came for a three-week break and now I wasn\'t going to use my return flight.) The school was located in Bang Khen an unsightly district of Bangkok, and it was apparently one of the largest schools in Thailand with over 7,000 students on a 20-acre campus.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My new home came with a left-side front door entrance to an open-planned living/bedroom with a full-length dividing curtain running crossways. Hold that line, keep going until you come to a second door at the back that leads directly into a good sized kitchen running vertical (a third door at the center of the righthand wall) to a spacious bathroom - it was fully furnished with basic yet adequate wooden Thai furniture.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apartment was on the third floor of a block of eighteen which stands opposite at a comfortable distance from another block of eighteen in a guard patrolled compound just outside the school\'s grounds. I settled in and anticipated the day when I was to start in a position as a social teacher -<span data-term=\"goog_387611441\" tabindex=\"0\">May 25</span>.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The architecture of my prospective school was an interesting combination of American Gothic meets Thai traditional sub-standardized. I mean it was concrete institute reinforced steel and only a singular wall thick. The high hipped roofs were of red fabricated sheeting, the windows were of tacky aluminum frames, the interior walls were roughly rendered and with the exception of marble floored terraces - every expense had been spared.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a history major, I studied the evolution of modern architecture and therefore knew my stuff. However, to the untrained eye - this campus consisting of a gigantic auditorium, twelve main buildings with multiple classrooms and an innumerable amount of smaller ones, not to mention the 7 or 8 blocks of teachers\' apartments, a dozen canteens, scores upon scores of gazebos - conveyed an established westernized educational institution of excellence.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>On further inspection I found the classrooms to be of along-the-lines-of America 1950\'s - old traditional style wooden desks and chairs, green chalkboards, and ceiling fans. It really didn\'t concern me that much but even after all the hardship and suffering I\'d observed and personally experience back home. I still had a social conscience - you can never break the mold from which you\'ve been cast.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>As time went by I found that all of my early suspicions were true, although I was relatively content at the school and comfortable in my new home. I simply didn\'t feel like a real teacher, I felt more like a facade of what a teacher should be and not one who was actually an educator in the practical sense.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The reasons were, to begin with only a limited number of my students could even speak basic English, some knew little more than a few basic Wh questions. And they were totally flummoxed by, \'Where do you live?\' Even though I was teaching 15-year-old grade 9 students and most had been studying at the \'bilingual\' school for over ten years. To top it all I was supposed to be teaching them Adam Smith\'s fuckin theories of economics!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Consequently, before the mid-terms, I had no choice but to directly feed my students the answers to the four optioned closed test. Nonetheless, some of them still, somehow, managed to flunk it. This meant retesting, which meant that even if they bombed it again, (which they did) I was compelled to pass them. Not long after, I ascertained that in Thailand there is a national no-fail system.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If this wasn\'t all illogical enough, I discovered through my social interactions with my co-teachers, that some of <span>the&nbsp;</span>so-called foreign teachers hadn\'t even graduated past high school. The only prerequisites seemed to be that you were a white-skinned neck-tie wearing westerner who conformed to the school\'s unscrupulous methods<span>.</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Initially, I kept myself to myself, going back to my apartment to watch plagiarized DVD\'s, surf the internet and chat to my friends and relatives back in the States on social networks and concentrating on paying some of my student loans off. Notwithstanding, as my relationships with my work colleagues flourished into friendships, I began to venture out for the odd beer after work at the local watering hole - the Pub.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>This was an old wooden Thai shack with an open kitchen, a single bar with a few stools, outside under a covered porch there was an affray of well used wooden furniture, chairs, benches and tables overlooking a substantial pond - it was not far up the road from the school, and was the focal point for a number of western teachers.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>With a pathetically undemanding career and the influence of my new found comrades, barflies, sexpats, Mavericks to the last. The odd beer, over a period of time, became many and I fell into unhealthy habits.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>To cut a long story short, I spent the best part of the next five years or so, in bars, clubs, and places of immoral disrepute that Thailand is infamous for. As for my salary from the school, what I didn\'t spend on booze, I spent on women of a persuasive nature - the rest I wasted, as they say. To be honest, I\'m not proud of my exploits but I &nbsp;had some off the wall adventures and I shall retain a few great memories of those times - the rest is best forgotten.<span>&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Anyhow, fortunately, those long nights and short days are well and truly far behind me now. Everything changed when I met Chanrisa. From that moment in a bar - I just knew - she was the one for me.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Early on that particular evening while sitting in a small obscure joint not far from Soi Na Na (a well-known adult entertainment zone,) one of those with a central rectangular bar. I had left my friends after they\'d decided to move on to a go-go bar, just wanting to have a quiet drink, recall the events of the day and contemplate probabilities of the approaching one. I looked across the partially lit ebony based, onyx topped, aluminum featured Art Deco retro bar and saw sitting alone directly opposite me - an agreeable meek looking young woman smiling at me from ear to ear.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I instantly rethought my agenda for the evening and beckoned her over which she obediently did. Walking tentatively around the end of the bar to end up standing on my right. I could get an even better look at her now, she was tall for a Thai lady around 5ft 7, mid-twenties, slender with long colored light chestnut hair, an angular face, Siamese eyes, chiseled cheekbones, a sloped nose, full lips, with naturally tanned silky skin.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The innocent unspoiled beauty of her face could not easily disguise the facts that were - she was genuinely intrigued and excited to meet me. I told her she was welcome to sit down on the uncomfortable steel geometric formed bar stool next to mine, on which she was soon perched - like a ballerina. <span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It turned out that Chanrisa\'s nickname was Tangmo which in Thai means watermelon. In Thailand, everyone has a nickname and their nicknames usually sound wacky when translated into English and a name that they don\'t use which is often beautiful.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sometime later into our relationship, Tangmo confided in me how she had only gone to work there for a little while until something better came along, \'I not want to be bargirl,\' how a Thai man wouldn\'t want her now \'they not want dirty girl Greg.\' She was different from the other girls I\'d known, they wanted a new handbag, a new gown, they lived for the here and now.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tangmo never asked for anything, she talked about the future, she shared her thoughts, her dreams. She was always enquiring about how I felt, what I thought, what I wanted, she needed me to be in good spirits because as she said if I wasn\'t happy then neither was she. She hoped we\'d grow old together, her parents owned a few acres of land upcountry in Sisaket, one day we planned to have a small basic house built on it. One we could use for vacations, family occasions and finally for our retirement.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>She is a practicing Buddhist, every morning she rises <span>at <span data-term=\"goog_387611442\" tabindex=\"0\">5:30</span></span> to be at the imposing complex of steeply pitched red peg-tiled roofed temples, enhanced with highly ornate golden bargeboards, facias, and finials supported by grey granite tiled walls at the top of the school road by <span data-term=\"goog_387611443\" tabindex=\"0\">6:00 am.</span><span>&nbsp;</span>This is her beloved time of the day, she treasures the tranquility that these majestic temples generate before her day begins. There she delivers her prayers, and there she donates a little money to the monks.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"It only twenty baht, Greg!\" adamantly.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Yeah I know, but you give it every day and it adds up to $20 US a month!\" seriously.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Oh, Greg.\" sympathetically \"We still eat and we get back every baht - next life!\"&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Soon after we\'d met, Tangmo\'d moved in with me - my friends told me not to get involved with a girl who I acquainted in a bar. My family said that we were too different and it was too soon - but it just felt right and it still does. Once in a while, you\'ve got to let something die, to allow another thing to live. I felt I\'d finally found someone who I could behave naturally with, just be myself, without any apologies, without any pretension - just be who I am. Say what I think- say what I feel - pure subconscious stream - it\'s a wonderful thing. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>She saw an opportunity to become a food vendor outside the school selling pork and pineapple kebabs.

It was also at that job where I saw that some TEFL teachers are actually stuck in the routine of speaking Thai with students.','<p>When I first moved to Thailand I tried to pick up the local lingo and managed to have simple conversations after a couple of months. I used to love seeing the surprise and happiness on Thai people’s faces when I spoke their language.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At my government school teaching job I understood little things the students said in Thai and they were desperate to hear me speak Thai. After a little while saying words like, delicious, hot and fun in Thai became a common routine for me in classes. A lot of students were keener to hear me speak Thai than to learn English themselves.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It wasn’t until moving to a language school, with proper management, that I saw the negative side of a teacher speaking Thai in class. It was also at that job where I saw that some TEFL teachers are actually stuck in the routine of speaking Thai with students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teachers stuck speaking Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As I said there are some teachers who are stuck in this zone of speaking Thai with students. This is normally either those who have zero training and don’t know better or others who just enjoy showing off.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>One such teacher I used to work with seemed to speak decent Thai and had the added bonus of being able to read and write Thai (the students loved that!). The problem was that, like many foreigners speaking Thai, he wasn’t as good as he thought and this caused issues in the classroom and office.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was probably an intermediate speaker which meant he could do all the basics pretty well but made mistakes when using harder sentences which led to three problems.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Firstly he thought he could use Thai to teach beginner students as he felt he could speak better Thai than they could English. He just fell back on using Thai as he could get his point across and thought it was an easy way to do a class rather than using proper teaching techniques.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Secondly, his pronunciation wasn’t great and a lot of people said they couldn’t really understand him. This actually led to wasted time with students either not understanding him or, even worse, having to teach him the correct words in Thai. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Finally with any intermediate Thai student or above it was really a waste of time speaking Thai with them as they could communicate and discuss problems and situations in English.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In our office he also caused issues as he would speak Thai when a group of teachers and Thai staff were together. Bear in mind all Thai staff were at least intermediate English speakers so there was no need for him to use another language. One of my Thai colleagues at work even flatly told him to stop speaking Thai with her as his Thai wasn’t good and her English was much better.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In the end a lot of colleagues, foreign and Thai, thought he was purely showing off and that he was a bit of an idiot for doing so.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Not our job</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>As anyone who has been here a while will know, speaking a little Thai will get you brownie points with students. It gets a laugh and a lot of students think it is cool that their teacher speaks Thai. The problem is that it isn’t what we are paid to do.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We are paid to deliver lessons in English. By the end of a class your students should have learned something valuable. Sure you also have to provide a fun atmosphere but you can do this without getting cheap laughs by speaking Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Several schools and language centers even have a policy where all communication is in English. I love this as it encourages people to use the language in natural situations, even when it is Thai staff speaking to each other.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the worst case scenarios I’ve heard teachers asking Thai students to tell them English words in Thai. It is ridiculous that you’re asking someone who has paid to attend your class to help you learn.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Where speaking Thai is acceptable</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>There certainly are a few exceptions where speaking Thai is acceptable. For example if students are really stuck on a word and I know it in Thai I will say it if necessary. However, this is only after trying to elicit it naturally. If you are having to do this several times in a class then you probably haven’t planned an appropriate class for that level of students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The other situation is when there is an emergency and you are dealing with children or very low level learners and need to make yourself understood quickly and clearly. If there is a fire drill or medical emergency this is of course acceptable.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Speaking isn\'t the same as listening</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Something else teachers in Thailand need to appreciate is that you can use your Thai ability but don’t need to speak Thai in the classroom. These days I find the ability to listen to students speaking Thai and understanding them is far more valuable than speaking Thai myself. After a while you will understand the Thai phrases for “I don’t understand..” “Does he mean….” “Do we have to do this….” etc and through this you can respond in English to answer their questions.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Also English vocabulary can be difficult and sometimes students will check with each other the meaning in Thai. If you know the correct word then you can respond positivly in English if they say the word in Thai.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With very low level students this technique works well as most teachers should have at least a beginner level of Thai. If you are teaching things like “What is your job?” &nbsp;“I like...” and food vocabulary then you should understand if students are correct when discussing the meaning of the English phrases in Thai.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Is it the culture of edutainment?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You could argue that the use of Thai with students is partly due to the idea of edu-tainment. Teachers feel under pressure to entertain students and by using Thai that can be achieved in certain situations.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A quick look at famous English teachers here in Thailand will show you that they all speak Thai very well and use it during lessons. Whilst I appreciate the skill they have I would also say that it isn’t necessary as a teacher to speak the native language of your students. Fair play to these people who have found a place for themselves in the market though. I just hope other teachers who work in the classroom don’t see Twitter and YouTube accounts of famous English teachers and feel they too also have to use Thai in the classroom to be loved by Thai students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two most popular teachers in my old school seemingly thought the mixed English / Thai approach was the way to go in the classroom. Using words like Aroy, Narak and Lon Mak in exagerated Thai accents would get instant laughs from high school and university students. In the end they got lots of class requests and management let their Thai slide as students were happy.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, if you are a teacher you should be able to plan lessons which are fun, interesting and educational without the need to speak Thai for whatever reason.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Learning Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Learning a language is a great thing. I remember the joy of getting an A in GCSE French and being able to use the language well when on holiday there. I remember counting from 1-100 in Thai and my Thai neighbors cheering me on, great times.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The thing to remember is that you are working to deliver English language classes and speaking Thai should be for your benefit, not your students. Learn Thai, be proud that you can speak it well but keep it out of the classroom, OK?&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

incentives. &nbsp;It’s worth noting that while these higher rates are heavily advertised to entice applicants, it is not easy to get to that level.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Reports show that anything over $20/hr requires teachers to hit all their bonuses (attendance + good student reviews), teach for an extended amount of time (you make more with seniority), and teach a full class schedule (because classes are almost always 30 minutes).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because of these factors, it’s better not to assume you’ll earn these higher rates unless you teach for a while though I did interview a teacher <a href=\"https://eslauthority.com/blog/interview-with-vipkid-teacher-dan/\"><span>making $75k with VIPKID</span></a> by teaching about 70 hours a week!</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Though it’s outside the scope of this post - you can make significantly more money teaching for yourself and it seems to be pretty common to test the waters with an established company and then attempt to land your own students.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I don’t have any experience doing this but know that Jack over at\r\n	<a href=\"http://www.teachingeslonline.com/\"></a><a href=\"http://www.teachingeslonline.com/\">http://www.teachingeslonline.com/</a> offers some good training to anyone who is interested.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Landing Your First Online Teaching Job</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because of the increasing popularity in teaching online (VIPKID has more than 50,000 registered teachers), most employers have a pretty thorough (and often automated) application process. &nbsp;It almost always begins with a traditional online application that disqualifies you if you don’t meet the basic requirements (remember, if you lie, you will be found out during the next steps).</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Following the application you will have a traditional interview via Skype with a manager where they will brief you on the role and its responsibilities. &nbsp;After this interview you will be provided materials that go over the company’s teaching methods as well as a lesson plan to be used for a mock lesson.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You will then have another online meeting with a manager (and often another teacher) where you deliver your mock lesson and answer questions regarding the materials that were provided to you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>After all of that, will either be asked to do another lesson (if your first one was subpar) or offered a job with compensation that reflects how well your lesson + recollection of the materials went.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Finally, once you have filled out all the remaining paperwork you will be added to their teaching platform and start to be assigned classes.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>This process can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks depending on how quickly you move through the steps and applicants are usually welcome to reapply if they don’t receive a job the first time around (though you will need to repeat the entire process).</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Next Steps</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>While there are some obvious similarities between these 3 major online teaching companies, it’s obviously important to research each in depth before applying. &nbsp;If you want more detail, we have created detailed hiring guides for each complete with detailed requirements, salary information, interview process overview and a look at their platform &amp;

Teaching in Thailand is just not for them. One such person was Nadine.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nadine had been taken on by the language centre boss to teach three hours in the morning, three days a week. A total of nine hours. That was the deal. Everything was spelled out to her and there were no hidden clauses. The school paid only 200 baht an hour but bear in mind that this was the early 90\'s.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Nadine\'s first morning at school, having done her first three hour session, I walked into the teachers room and she was sitting in the corner in floods of tears. \"What\'s wrong Nadine? What\'s wrong?\" I said.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Oh it\'s probably just me. I don\'t think the lessons went well at all\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Don\'t worry\" I said \"It\'s only your first day.

You guessed it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"What is it this time Nadine?\" - patience and sympathy as you may guess were beginning to wear thin. We had a school to run. There was no room for such a sensitive teacher with a ton of emotional baggage.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Oh it\'s probably just me but it\'s getting close to Christmas and I\'m starting to miss my family\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Fast forward a couple of weeks and I caught wind that the male teachers in the staff room had starting taking bets among each other as what time of the day Nadine would start crying. As academic director, I couldn\'t stand idly by and see Nadine victimized. Something had to be done.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I called Nadine into my office. \"Nadine, I want to help you in any way I can. Is there anything the school can do to help you settle in? Perhaps you want more hours so you can make a bit more money?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nadine looked at me and immediately burst into tears.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By the end of the week she was gone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve worked with many teachers who were simply a lost cause from day one and often the difficulty adjusting to life in Thailand stems from a lack of research. Thailand becomes just too much of a leap into the unknown.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>The immaculate Peter</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Peter was one of the most professional teachers I had ever worked with. He was always on time for his classes at the language centre regardless of whether it was an 8.30 \'early bird\' session with a Japanese businessman or the 7.45 to 9.15pm \'graveyard shift\' with a small group of Thai accountants who had all recently undergone personality transplants.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When it came to appearance and dress sense, Peter had no equals. I went round to his apartment once. He opened the wardrobe doors and said \"look at that!\" - half a dozen freshly ironed business shirts hung neatly on wooden hangers with matching tie combinations - all ready for the teaching week ahead.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The language centre dabbled in a bit of corporate training at the time and we decided Peter was the ideal man to send to a new client, a multinational electronics company on Soi Asoke. He returned from the first lesson and said that everything went well. The group really loved him!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Half an hour later, we got a call from the Thai training manager at the company. The gist of the phone call was that the company wanted someone younger. \"We just find younger teachers have a bit more energy and work out better for us\" she said. \"Peter was a very good teacher and we all enjoyed the class but could we swap him for a younger model?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Peter was 34.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>His pride took an almost dent on that day and he quit his job on the spot. As far as I know he never walked into a classroom or training room in Thailand again.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We did of course swap the teacher at our corporate client\'s request. We sent along 23-year old Lucifer. He was young, good-looking and energetic. Everything the company wanted. &nbsp;But as a teacher he was useless.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And when the company asked if they could give Peter a second chance, I had to bite my lip and tell them that unfortunately he was long gone.&nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-07-15 16:53:15',1,'2018-07-15 16:53:18','2018-07-15 16:53:18'),(32286,90,'Accents in the classroom','accents-classroom','\"Sorry for my daughter\'s accent, her teacher is a Filipino\"','By having an education with teachers from around the world a student can be more prepared to use English the real world, not just in the classroom.','<p>Last week was parents day at my school and one of the first things a parent said to me was “sorry for my daughter’s accent, her teacher at school is Filipino”.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I had an awkward little chuckle with the parent but it certainly made me think how accents can influence students.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Here in Thailand there is a truly multicultural range of teachers which means Thai students are open to hearing different accents and dialects. In general I think this is a positive but not everyone sees this the same.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Thai students\' experiences with the English language</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Long before school a Thai person will have at least a few experiences where they will listen to English. This could be through a song, movie, advert or just where English words are used in the Thai language. These early experiences can influence how Thai people react to different accents.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my experience speaking to Thai students, it seems they are most comfortable with the American accent. This isn’t really a surprise as a large portion of the international music, movies and TV shows they listen to in English are produced in the States. These early experiences of English can really shape their appreciation of accents and make an impact on their understanding of other accents.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Coming from just west of London I have pretty standard received pronunciation (standard south UK accent). However, it is sometimes a struggle for students to understand me, particularly if I speak at my normal (fast) speed or if they are new learners. Again this is normally due to their experience of the American accent rather than saying my accent is bad.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teachers with different accents may struggle as Thai people may not have had experience in listening to someone from other countries. I have observed teachers from Poland, India and Bulgaria where I struggled sometimes with the accent. I can only imagine how difficult it was for the learners.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Which accent students want</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In general I have found most students like learning from teachers with a British or American accent. &nbsp;</span><span>This isn’t to say that they don’t appreciate learning from teachers with other accents but it is what I have heard from many students. In my teaching jobs, teachers from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and Ireland have all been popular but I’ve never heard a student say they would like to learn from those accents specifically.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Of the non-native speaking teachers in this country the accents vary widely. To be fair I know a few Filipinos who have very American accents and to be honest a lot of Thai students wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if it was based on accent alone. Maybe this is why Filipino teachers are popular for online classes without video as the student may not realize they aren’t learning with an American.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Based on the opening comment from a parent at my parents day it seems that certain accents are less desirable irregardless of the quality of the teacher.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Students faking accents</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I can understand why a student might prefer a teacher with a certain accent as it is easier for them to understand and learn but I am less sure why some students try to copy an accent.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I think a lot of people don’t understand that you can have good pronunciation and be understood in English without copying an accent of a native speaker. It would be like me speaking French and putting on a comedy French accent. It\'s just not necessary.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>One Thai colleague I used to work with had the most ridiculous British accent and he sounded posher than Prince Charles! The problem was he wasn’t great at English and fooled people into thinking he was just because of his accent. He had a lot of private students and tried to get them to copy his fake accent. I think this is the problem - the desire to have the same accent as the teacher as it must be the best.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>On the other hand I have met Thai people who have lived in foreign countries and naturally picked up the accent over the years. There is nothing wrong with this and it is a natural part of living in a foreign country.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Parent\'s choice</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>At the top end of Thai education, there are many international schools linked to the curriculum of a country and as such mostly teachers from that background. Well-off parents can choose to send their kids to schools with pretty much only teachers from a certain country.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If they are looking to send a child to a bi-lingual school, they can see which nationalities are represented before signing their kid up. Those looking at government schools will have less choice but schools are normally keen to show that they have native speaking teachers.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The language schools I have worked at have always cited the diversity of accents at the school as a major benefit to students and I agree. However there are many different language schools and parents can find those with only native speakers and others where they might get teachers with less common accents.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>The benefit of learning from teachers with different accents</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I have always felt that students gain a lot by having teachers with a variety of different accents. Even within the UK and USA there are a huge number of different accent and dialects.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In the real world students can’t choose who they must speak English with. By having an education with teachers from around the world a student can be more prepared to use English the real world, not just in the classroom.</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><span>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</span>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

How wrong I was.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’d started to read a few ribald comments online about English teachers in Thailand and although I resisted the temptation to wade in, I found it somewhat frustrating. It was more than just a case of the old cliché that goes something like this: <em>Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach…</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Amongst expats here in Thailand, the general consensus seems to be that most TEFL teachers are a mixture of alcoholics, misfits and paedophiles. In my year of teaching I saw a mixture of the first two but I couldn’t say if I saw any of the third.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In KPS, I was the only native English speaker apart from a nice American lady named Alison. They hired a Frenchman and several African teachers, and even a Filipina. I was also shocked to learn that in Thailand, they preferred native English speaking teachers from the USA and Canada.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I explained to several older Thai English teachers in my best Queen’s English that I was actually born in Scotland, they both looked so disappointed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘So Philip, you are not a Native English Speaker then?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I tried in vain to explain that I was British but in the end I gave up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There was a small shop near the bus station that sold cheap booze, and this was the place where the English teachers who liked a drop of the hard stuff would congregate most evenings. I was glad to avoid these guys, to be honest, and when I met a few of them and noticed the bleary eyes and whisky breath, I started to see where the bad reputation was coming from.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Okay, I was no saint, but I made damn sure that I never touched any alcohol on a school night.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Memorable Teachers</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have already mentioned Mustafa, and I’ll add a little more about the big guy in a later chapter, but there were a few other notable characters that deserve to be discussed here for a variety of reasons:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Kosuke</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This chap was a total gent, and in true Japanese style he was extremely polite, and never imposing. He did have a penchant for falling asleep however, and I suspected that he may have a case of Sleep Apnoea. For a very slight man, Kosuke could eat a huge amount of food. He once came on a 4-day break to one of the islands with my family, and we shared a coach journey of about 10 hours. In that time I witnessed him put away enough food to knock out a horse, despite weighing less than 8 stone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kosuke was often a guest in our house and he would cook up a storm with his fantastic Sapporo cuisine skills. One day he offered to cook some true English food for us, and after arriving with a few bags of groceries, he locked himself into our kitchen for several hours. By the time he was ready to serve the Hall family was absolutely starving. We watched, somewhat gobsmacked, as he approached the dinner table with a grin as wide as his face would allow. The plate was piled high with what could only be described as egg mayonnaise sandwiches! They were as perfect as could be, cut identically and immaculately presented, but – they were what they were! To this day we still miss this Japanese gentleman and hope to be reunited one day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Wannee</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The teacher who offered me the job in the first place, a true lady. A little headstrong at times. I’ll speak a bit more later about her attempts to find love online, but overall I have a lot of time for Wannee, and she and Jum are friends to this day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Kwan</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My Boss, and a very nice guy, if a bit touchy-feely. Always smiling and although in charge of about 40 foreign teachers, never seemed to be stressed whatsoever. His wife was also a nice lady, but far more scary than Kwan!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Palmmy</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of the most friendly teachers in KPS, and always happy to lend a hand. I was saddened to learn that she died earlier this year, and my thoughts are with her husband and children.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em><strong>Santa Claus and his little helpers</strong></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Thailand is a Buddhist country, it does celebrate Christmas, and KPS certainly enjoys this festival. Whilst they probably don’t really get the religious side of it, they love Santa Claus and all the trimmings. Let’s be honest, the UK and most of the Western world have long since forgotten about baby Jesus, and Christmas is simply an excuse for a holiday, a few drinks and some extravagant gifts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/xmas1.png\" style=\"width: 300px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil\">There is no official holiday for Christmas in Thailand, and on a very hot day in lateDecember Kwan asked me a rather strange question: ‘Philip, do you have a Santa Claus costume?’ I replied in the negative and off he went at an alarming pace towards the stock room. He returned a few minutes later with a bin bag that appeared to be full of tinsel and Christmas decorations. Rummaging through the contents, he looked like the proverbial Isaan Cheshire Cat when he produced a fairly sad looking Father Christmas outfit. But there it was: red trousers, jacket, hat and white beard!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Christmas morning I was ‘ordered’ to don this costume and, with Tom dressed as one of my little helpers, we did a little dance on the stage in front of 5,000-plus students and then walked amongst the seated throng, distributing candies</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not every kid got a sweet because 300 doesn’t really go into 5,000, but we had a laugh and although I was totally drenched in sweat, thanks to the double layer of clothing and 40-degree heat, it was a Christmas day that myself and Tom will never forget It was also one of those rare father/son moments that I will treasure forever.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks for reading my words and if you’re interested in my book, <a href=\"https://www.asiabooks.com/bangkok-to-ben-nevis-backwards-a-journey-through-dementia-from-england-to-scot-220018.html\">it is now available from Asia Books in shops all over Thailand</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong> was lucky enough to teach at a government school in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

No consensus.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/principal-favoritism/\">In episode 97 of the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast</a><span><span>, Jennifer Gonzalez tells the story of her worst experience as a teacher. In case you are not inclined to listen, she tells of the time she was shunned by her colleagues and became the focus of tangible antagonism in the teachers\' lounge. She ends the story with an exhortation that there is probably nothing more important as a teacher than your relationship with your colleagues.</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a manager of strangers in a strange land, for me Jennifer\'s message rings true. Let me consider some of the possible reasons why good relations in the teaching team is important.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Colleagues matter</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>First, colleagues are an immensely useful resource, both professionally and personally. Working at a school with other experienced teachers has been a really important part of my development as a teacher. Some of the teachers I\'ve worked with over the years freely shared ideas and materials, and demonstrated admirable teacher traits that have been worth emulating. I can honestly say I learned more from colleagues than I did from my education degree. Working in schools with teachers who are professional and positive is something I\'d highly recommend.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Second, staffroom chat among colleagues serves as an invaluable opportunity for reflection. Broadly speaking, reflective teachers are effective teachers because they are constantly on the watch for how their lessons impact their learners. Having a bad lesson (or a problem student) is part of our job: rather than complaining or panicking about it, a reflective teacher considers what\'s <u>really</u> happening and why, and extracts development opportunities from it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One way of reflecting is by sharing your problems and exploring solutions with other teachers. To be clear, unrelenting denunciation of a class or its students as arrogant or uncontrollable isn\'t reflection. But discussing problems and sharing possible solutions with other teachers (who might have had similar problems) is, and it\'s thought to have important developmental benefits for teachers. More on reflection another time perhaps.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And then there\'s the strange case of teachers who have to share classrooms. It\'s here that I see the most urgent case taking time to get to know your colleagues. To contextualize, let me tell a story.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Sally\'s story</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Sally has been teaching fourth grade for 9 years. This year she is teaching 4/2, and it\'s been a tough group. The class is rowdy and difficult, but she has finally imposed some order. The class finally understands the classroom rules, she has got them into the habit of putting up their hands before shouting out, the boys have started doing their homework and following instructions, and the classroom is starting to feel like there is some structure.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Last month, however, a new Spanish teacher was hired to teach the entire grade group, including Sally\'s class. The teacher hardly speaks English, which Sally understands is useful because it forces the students to use Spanish in class. But Sally is having trouble with this teacher. She doesn\'t know his name because he hasn\'t introduced himself. He walks into the class and completely ignores her. That\'s aggravating, but worse, he seems completely oblivious to any suggestions of the classroom routines that Sally has worked hard to establish.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He blithely watches the class to descend into chaos, and seems to encourage, or perhaps revel in, <span>the</span> most outrageous behavior. Then, when things are completely out of control, he expects her to step in and sort things out. Sally heard from the department head that he had complained about her, saying he wasn\'t getting enough support from the \'assistant\'. This upset Sally – she spent 4 years studying for her bachelor\'s degree, and to be called an assistant is a professional slap. In fact, she wonders when she watches this teacher in class, what exactly his qualifications are.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Spanish teacher\'s perspective? Well, Juan has upset the teacher in 4/2 and doesn\'t know it – he\'s just going into the classroom and doing his job, which is to teach language. There\'s a teacher in every classroom, and it\'s too much bother to learn all their names and try to get to know them when none of them can speak any Spanish. Why isn\'t she supporting him? Well, that\'s clear – she wants her period off, and doesn\'t seem to care that the children in that class are out of control.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whether it\'s Sally and Juan, or Supaporn and James, or Sakada and Jessica, the story doesn\'t really change. Perhaps you too have &nbsp;heard a teacher complaining about their Thai \'assistant\' teacher? She doesn\'t help enough. She helps too much. She translates everything for the children. She\'s too strict. She\'s not strict enough. She always shouts at the children.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Ego power struggles</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>So begins the professional ego contest. On whose side is the supporting manager? Where can we expect the children\'s loyalties to fall? At the end-game, who will be the ultimate winner?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ve come to believe that putting two teachers in the same classroom needs careful planning, and even then, the clash of egos is a minefield. It only takes one wrong step. With the cultural dimension added in, especially for a newcomer, things can become noxious frighteningly quickly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is a strong argument in favor of listening to Jennifer\'s advice. Getting to know the teachers who you share your classroom with is a genuinely good investment of your time, and particularly so in our \'foreign language\' teacher role. In fact, for a new teacher in a Thai primary school who has to co-teach (or enter another teacher\'s classroom), getting to know your local colleagues probably ranks as one of the most useful ways you can spend your first week. Once you know their names, understand that for many of these teachers, the inside of their classroom constitutes the majority of their daily input. To them, breaches of classroom etiquette are not trivial.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Is there an easy solution? I feel there is – getting to know your teacher is the start. Learn her name and use it. If your teacher is supposed to co-teach with you, sharing your lesson plan and indicating where and what kind of help you\'d like will make a difference. Sitting down for a cup of coffee together and sharing \'how I teach\' stories might be useful too so you can see where there might be a mismatch. In fact, just sitting down and sharing a cup of coffee together might be exactly what is needed.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We come to Thailand for the local experience, right? Getting to know the local teachers in your school is at least a part of that journey.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a><span>&nbsp;</span>in Bangkok.</p>',NULL,'2018-07-21 08:00:54',1,'2018-07-21 07:53:34','2018-07-21 12:54:36'),(32289,41,'Change your mind.....set!','change-your-mindset','Know what to expect if you decide to visit Thailand','I have some relatives coming over next March.

It\'ll be their first time in Thailand. In Asia, actually. They\'re well travelled, though... at least in Europe!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I want them to have the best possible time, so I have started the groundwork early. But doing stuff and seeing things are just a small part of their visit. Their attitude on arrival will be the biggest key to getting the most out of Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m sure they\'ll have ideas of what to expect and will have some idea of what they want to do and see. But, as they say, \"This Is Thailand!\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With that in mind, I have put together a few ideas so the thing called \'culture shock\' doesn\'t hit them (or you) too directly between the eyes and ruin their trip. If you haven\'t been here before or you are expecting visitors, then this may help ease the pain.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Time is not of the essence!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Probably the most important thing to know on arrival to the Kingdom is that none of the clocks work. You can look at them and the hands seem to be moving in the right direction, but believe me, they\'re broken. So, the first thing to do when making plans for visiting Thailand is to figure out \'HOW\' to do things and never \'WHEN\' to do things.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here\'s an example: Where I live, the mini-vans to Bangkok run every hour on the hour. It says so on the sign outside. The last one leaves for Bangkok at <span data-term=\"goog_957200847\" tabindex=\"0\">7 PM.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Well, that never happens. The mini-vans leave when they are full and if the last van to Bangkok doesn\'t fill up, it doesn\'t go! You could shout and argue and create a fuss about it. In the UK that may get results. You could trash them on YouTube and blame the van driver for you not being at the important concert in Bangkok... but it won\'t work. You\'re stuck where you are with your eyes swollen and your fists clenched!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here\'s another example that causes visitors consternation... the way food is served in Thailand. If you order six items of food in any Thai restaurant it\'ll be cooked one at a time and brought out in that order. This means that you have no control over when you eat the food you\'ve ordered.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every time I eat out with a friend, one of us is finishing our grub just as the other is getting started. The rice comes out last because they\'ve forgotten it or first because it\'s already pre-cooked... never WITH the food you want to mix it with!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The price of admission</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When things aren\'t right, they\'re wrong and that lovable (and fictional) sense of \'justice\' that Westerners have, can get them into trouble. It has certainly lead to some hotheads and temper tantrums. But worse, it\'s your holiday so should you really be crusading for your rights during the first break you\'ve had from the office in a year?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The most debated \'injustice\' of them all is the \'two-tier\' price system. One price for you and another for locals. Personally, if I go somewhere I consider if the financial outlay is worth it for me. I don\'t care if Thais get in cheaply or free. Does the price of admission present good value for me personally?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m in the minority here, though. Most people demand to pay the same fees as locals. They may not be around next week to clean up the mess they make, but that fierce and indignant sense of injustice is too powerful for some to overcome, even when you\'re on holiday. For heaven\'s sake, just pay the extra fifty pence. Standing your ground won\'t work and will just ruin your visit for you and everyone stuck with you.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Finally, look where you\'re going</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In the UK, every time you set foot outside your house, there\'s an army of dodgy lawyers following you around in case you have an accident. Not in Thailand, and the dangers of simply walking about here are everywhere. If you aren\'t aware of your surroundings you\'ll walk into a hole, step in dog shit, bash your head on an overhead sign or worse, be electrocuted. Yes, it happens... a lot.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, do yourself a favour: put the phone in your pocket and keep your eyes open!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m looking forward to showing off Thailand to my relatives when they come over. There\'s lots to see and do. Generally speaking, Thailand is a safe and rewarding place to visit and almost every single time something goes wrong, the blame can be traced back to the visitor who simply wasn\'t paying attention, or who was expecting things to be like they are at home. They aren\'t and they never will be.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, when you come to Thailand -<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>change your mind... set!</strong></p>',NULL,'2018-07-23 08:19:44',1,'2018-07-23 08:17:03','2018-07-23 08:19:46'),(32290,90,'Why I\'m happy to work weekends in Bangkok','why-im-happy-work-weekends-bangkok','Days off during the week can be a joy','Bangkok, it must be said, can be pretty nasty on a weekend.

But in all honesty, I feel I have the best of things!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>This past weekend though was a holiday for me so I went out on Sunday to Siam Square, one of Bangkok\'s main shopping areas. All I can say is thank god I don’t have to deal with that every week!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Sure I know it’s probably one the most popular areas of Bangkok but the whole place was a heaving mass of people. Even inside the malls it felt like I was in a rush hour BTS train, constantly bumping into people and having to walk at a snail\'s pace.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok can, it must be said, be pretty nasty on a weekend. There are almost no benefits of having these days off work compared to taking the days off in midweek. Not that I can see.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Monday and Tuesday off</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>For the past four and a half years, I have always taken Monday and Tuesday off work and it’s fantastic.&nbsp;</span><span>I have a stable weekend and can plan my routines around this.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Sure some people have jobs where their days off do vary, and that is trickier - but if you can get those two midweek days off set in stone - every week - then you are laughing.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you come from a background where Saturday and Sunday are always days off then the \'midweek break\' does take some getting used to but after a while you will come round and see there are far more benefits involved.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I have a number of friends who have Saturday and Sunday off (while I don\'t) but guess what? we still see each other, still hang out and it still works. Just because you don’t have the same days off as all your friends doesn’t mean you can’t see each other. Sometimes I go out with them after work on a Saturday; other times they meet up with me when they finish midweek.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Cheaper, quieter, better</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I think the heading says it all as far as Bangkok is concerned. Things are cheaper, quieter and therefore much more enjoyable midweek in this city. It rings true for almost everything you can do here.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I like to play golf and during midweek, the course is empty and the green fees, etc are 35% lower than at the weekend.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If I go to special events or attractions, a lot of them have cheaper midweek prices. Even if the price is the same, those attractions will certainly be less crowded.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking of fewer people and peace and quiet, you get fewer kids out and about midweek. Imagine on your weekend going to a nice place for lunch and, after queuing for six years to get in, you’re stuck next to a table full of screaming kids. That is extremely rare midweek.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Fancy a long weekend away at the beach? You enjoy that on a Saturday and Sunday and I’ll take my midweek trip every time. You’ll pay more for hotels, have more guests there and spend a longer time traveling to and from your destination.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Driving to the seaside resorts from Bangkok is Heaven midweek compared to doing it on a Friday night or Saturday morning. Coming back into Bangkok on a Sunday evening is one of the worst experiences Thailand has to offer.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The main point here is that I don’t need to plan my weekends based on where will be busy. If I want to go shopping to Siam Square on Tuesday, I can do without any difficulty. If I really want to go to the latest Thong Lor cafe &nbsp;then I can without hordes of other people being there. When a new blockbuster movie is showing at the cinema, I can just turn up without booking a ticket in advance.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Nobody does anything interesting on the weekend until late anyway</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Do people ever do anything interesting on the weekends until after dinner? Oh no, I’m missing out on reading the online edition of the Sunday Telegraph in bed in the morning and I can’t spend hours walking aimlessly around Chatuchak market looking at stalls all selling the same stuff. That’s a shame.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest people only do interesting stuff like going out with friends after dinner and guess what, I’ve finished work by 4.00 pm so I can do all that stuff too if I want.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All I really want to do on Saturday and Sunday is to watch the football and have a couple of beers, both of which I can comfortably still do. The benefit is that I do this and still have two days off in the week to look forward to.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Any downsides?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I guess that a three beer limit on Friday and Saturday nights is as bad as it gets. Oh, and some smaller places are closed on Mondays.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You might say that I probably miss the atmosphere of a Friday / Saturday night out but firstly, the large number of tourists here mean that pretty much every night is busy in bars. Secondly, as I work with others who have the same days off, we can all go for a few beers after work on Sunday much like those who do the same on Friday evenings with their colleagues.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If you have kids in school then I guess working weekends would be a downer because you wouldn’t see your kids as much. That is pretty much the only major drawback I can see about working weekends. Some people just have an attitude that \'a weekend\' can only be Saturday Sunday - but in reality, here in Bangkok it\'s much better to have a couple of days off midweek instead. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a> &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

All I could do was repeat Frank’s mantra over and over in my head. “The Thai that’s taught by everyone and spoken by no one”','<p>A few weeks ago, I accompanied my wife on her annual company trip to the seaside and this is probably the tenth successive year that I’ve \'tagged along\'.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every year – usually in June or July - my wife’s company generously pays for a few hundred staff members to enjoy a weekend away. &nbsp;They arrange quality overnight accommodation at perhaps a resort on the coast or a bungalow retreat in a national park. They lay on food and drink at the resort as well as organise all sorts of activities. The company even provides tour buses for those who don’t want to drive down in their own cars.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>All in all, it’s a fun weekend and one that many of the staff look forward to. You also get a good mix of managers, senior managers, office staff, factory workers and drivers – employees from all walks of life. And they can bring their children along too if they so wish.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The weekend trip also gives me a wonderful opportunity to practice my Thai language skills because I am always the only farang in attendance. The Thais are on holiday. They don’t want to fret about having to communicate in English so the onus is on me to strike up conversations in the native tongue.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Saturday night, after an enjoyable afternoon of beach games, is when the main event takes place – the company talent show. Several departments within the company will have spent months practising their little song and dance routines to present to an excited audience on the big night. Which department will put on the best show and walk off with this year\'s trophy?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don’t wish to come across as an old grumpy boots but the talent contest really isn’t my cup of tea. I find it formulaic and childish and it isn’t the remotest bit entertaining - but who am I to judge when all the Thais around me are laughing fit to burst and clearly having the time of their lives?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>A strange language &nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The talent contest is in full swing and I’m sat at a round table – rather reminiscent of the type you sit at for a Thai wedding reception. My wife is sitting opposite (too far away to converse with) but I\'m happy enough. I’ve somehow found myself squeezed between the general manager, who comes from Mukdahan in North-East Thailand, a female office worker from Bangkok and a human resources guy from Chonburi. I know all three of them well from previous company trips and they are all thoroughly nice people.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So here is my big chance! It’s been a year since I last chatted to any of them and in that time, I’m hoping that I have made significant progress with my Thai language studies. So I will just sit here and join in with all the banter. There’s only one problem. I can barely understand a word of what they’re saying. Not a fucking word! I can’t even catch the gist of the conversation. What is this strange, alien language that they speak?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I felt so hopelessly out of my depth that I became more and more frustrated as the evening wore on. Occasionally one of the group would ask me a question and then instinctively look to my wife to provide an English translation. I’d never felt more like the ‘token foreigner’ - the mumbling, culturally inept greenhorn who’s just stepped off the plane. Surely it would be just a matter of time before someone asked me if I could eat spicy food? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But I had been studying Thai seriously for a long time now. I enjoy lengthy conversations at the gym with any number of Thai friends. Where exactly was I going wrong?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>My pal Frank</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Eventually, I gave up on the conversation around me and turned to social media - to Twitter to be precise. When you are going through a language crisis, why not just bury your head in your smartphone? I started tweeting about my frustrations and the first of my followers to get in touch was Frank. No one was better qualified than Frank Smith to advise me and offer sympathy in my hour of need.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Frank teaches Khmer language at an American university and has written both Khmer and Lao language study textbooks. I’ve never met Frank face-to-face but would love to one day because he always comes across as a fine fellow. And Frank understood what I was going through.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“I feel your pain, Phil” Frank tweeted. “In fact, the guy who teaches in the Thai language department at my university refers to the version of the Thai language that’s taught to foreigners as “The Thai that’s taught by everyone and spoken by no one”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I found myself distracted for the rest of the evening. All I could do was repeat Frank’s mantra over and over in my head.</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">“<strong>The Thai that’s taught by everyone and spoken by no one”&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I suddenly felt like all those hours sat in front of my computer studying Thai had been an appalling waste of time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Frank did his best to console me. He gave me the impression that this was actually a drawback of studying any South-East Asian language and referred to it as ‘cultural gate-keeping’. He didn’t actually define that for me but I’m guessing it means that much of the slang, colloquial or everyday speech is deemed as ‘unsuitable’ for the foreigner to learn. So you don’t learn it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s only when you are sitting among a group of Thais, all nattering away, that you realise how much you are missing out on and where your language ‘blind spots’ are. But you muddle through I suppose - continuing to sound a bit like the bloke who reads the six ‘o’ clock news.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Phad Bung saves the day</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But back to the party and the talent show. Someone is waving at me from the other side of the room and beckoning me over for a chat. It’s Phad Bung, the daughter of one of the company’s senior managers. Despite her now becoming a grown-up and independent young woman, she still likes to accompany her mother on these annual trips. I’ve known Phad Bung since she was about fourteen years old and I’ve never met a more confident Thai female. Phad Bung is the original ‘chatterbox’.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was eager to talk to her and find out how her life was going. After years of being tied to her Mother’s apron strings, she had finally fled the nest to study Russian at a Bangkok university.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I pulled up a chair and we nattered for an hour like a couple of housewives over the garden fence. What’s your apartment like? How many hours a day do you study? Does your Mum miss you? Who does your washing? What about cooking meals? Tell me all about life on the university campus. I had so many questions to ask her but truthfully, it was just great to be communicating in Thai and enjoying a great conversation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had found my level. I knew my place.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At bedtime, I confided in my wife about my frustrations with the Thai language earlier in the evening and also the tweets from Frank, etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>“Don’t worry” she said, “actually, even I have difficulty understanding some of those people some of the time - and I’m Thai! In the talent show this evening, there was a song chorus containing a word that I had never heard before. &nbsp;I had to ask Phad Bung what it meant and it turned out to be a new, fashionable, cutesy word for female genitalia!”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hmmm ...... so what did I take away from the company talent show? (apart from the fact the staff don\'t really have any)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How about - hard though it is for me to accept - and regardless of how much effort I put into studying Thai - perhaps there will always be conversations I can never ever be a part of.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3>You might also be interested in ...</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http://womenlearnthai.com/index.php/successful-thai-language-learner-frank-smith/\">Interview with Frank Smith</a> - Successful Thai language learner&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/my-struggles-with-the-thai-language-part-1\">My struggles with the Thai language</a> - For 15 years, my spoken Thai didn\'t get any better at all.</p>',NULL,'2018-07-24 14:10:44',1,'2018-07-24 13:52:27','2018-07-24 14:51:18'),(32292,20,'A long and winding road','long-and-winding-road','Reflections on a TEFL journey','EFL teachers are frequently allotted a low status by Thais, expatriates and even other teachers. However, might not the beginning TEFL teacher with a 120-hour certificate possess within them the stuff of a Master Teacher?','<p>It may or may not be the case in other countries, but in Thailand it certainly is: teachers of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) are frequently looked at with contempt.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If when asked in a conversation what subject one teaches the reply is “English,” there is inevitably a subtle reaction, as if a judgment has been made. Unfortunately, conclusions were indeed likely reached. Both Thais and foreigners alike hold biases towards the TEFL profession.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is the aspersion that teaching EFL isn’t really teaching because it’s merely teaching one’s own native language. Expatriate teachers of subjects (e.g., science, literature, history and math) often disdain EFL teachers, suggesting they are lowly players in the edutainment game. Many point out that it is a job even a backpacker with little or no experience or background in education can do.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is of course some truth to these beliefs. Teaching EFL may - perhaps - be less challenging than teaching math. In many TEFL contexts, the emphasis <em>is</em> upon fun and entertainment. Backpackers, in conjunction with willing educational institutes, <em>do</em> commonly teach EFL. The predominant negativity towards EFL teachers in Thailand raises questions in the broader area of teacher development, such as: What exactly distinguishes an EFL teacher from a subjects teacher? And what separates both EFL teachers and subjects teachers from educators?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Firstly, I suggest that EFL is a subject. This may seem a bloody obvious fact to point out, but somehow it gets lost in Thai culture where EFL has been subsumed by a bewilderingly complex array of culturalities (such as ‘face’, ego, smooth interpersonal relationships and conflict avoidance) which have endowed it with a singular status, at once prestigious, nerve-wracking, potentially soul destroyingly embarrassing, necessary in today’s global digital society, a mark of gentility and a lesser throw-away subject, the class where students feel free to catch up on sleep, shoot spitballs and gossip.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is important to remember then that in the American educational system, and presumably in Western/European nations, EFL is a specialized subject taught by certified teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While each state adopts different approaches, many elementary, junior and senior high schools provide EFL, although within the boundaries of America it is called ESL, English as a Second Language. It is a remedial course for those whose English is insufficient to meet academic standards, usually first generation immigrant children or simply students who speak another first language. The implication here being that teaching EFL in Thailand is not inherently lesser than teaching other subjects because EFL <em>is</em> a subject.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet EFL teachers in Thailand have long been condescended to because backpackers have done it and continue to do it. That is a blatant stereotype. Backpackers are unrepresentative of the majority of EFL teachers, who passionately resent being lumped together with them.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Backpacker EFL teachers only do so in entry level situations; they do not amble in off Chaweng beach and into a corporate office to teach English to managers who possess international travel experience and intermediate level English skills. That has undoubtedly been tried in the past and just as assuredly it failed every time. Thais are savvy and they can recognize a neophyte teacher.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is the same for other subjects, as well: a Westerner with little to no experience in a given subject (e.g., math) may be able to teach that subject at lower levels, such as in a Thai elementary school’s EP (English Program). However, a backpacker could not stroll off Kao San road and into a high school to teach math at that level.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following this line of thought, if it is inappropriate for a person wholly unaccustomed to teaching to begin with an intermediate level EFL class, then some expertise, set of skills, knowledge and know-how must be necessary. Therefore, if EFL is an actual subject, and if it does require knowledge and skills to do it well, then teaching EFL is not different from, nor better or worse than, teaching other subjects.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps, then, the main factor separating one teacher from another is not the subject they teach but the extent of their training and professional development.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Consider a teacher possessing a 120-hour TEFL certificate and another with a Master of Arts diploma in TESOL. If the TEFL teacher has striven to professionally develop themselves throughout their career by attending conferences, participating in professional development workshops, staying up to date on educational technology, and improving their soft skills (e.g., giving presentations, teamwork skills and ed. tech. skills), then s/he will be different than the teacher with a TESOL M.A. who has coasted complacently along, stagnating at about the same stage as when they graduated.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although the M.A. holder’s diploma is much more esteemed than the TEFL teacher’s 120 hour certificate, there is a gap in the two teachers’ professional development. The EFL teacher who has discovered a genuine passion for teaching and been driven to develop themselves is transcending the stereotypes of the TEFL industry, surpassing the confines of the TEFL field, to become an actual Teacher, with a capital ‘T.’&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a way it is ironic since we have already noted that as EFL <em>is</em> a real subject, the deliverer of EFL lessons must already be a teacher. It is just that a backpacker or similar novitiate, whatever the subject they teach is, may not perceive themselves as a teacher or be perceived by others as such because they lack educational training and expertise.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Therefore, the next step in the educational journey is becoming a teacher. Teachers possess both pedagogical knowledge as well as knowledge of the science of learning. Moreover, teachers have a mindset distinct from the beginning TEFL person.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those just starting out tend to have a narrower viewpoint. They see English as just English. Seeing it this way, it may not matter much to them whether their students learn English, because, after all, it’s just English. In the end it matters not one bit if the students can speak it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In contrast, EFL teachers who are more professionally developed have a global outlook. For them, English is an example of one useful language to learn, of which there are others (e.g., Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Their outlook shifts from teaching English to teaching languages. They begin to teach process, the process of language learning. They begin to teach strategies that are not necessarily specific to English, but of language learning generally. This type of teacher perceives themselves differently. Although in title they are EFL teachers, they have actually become teachers; they are language teachers, and they perceive themselves in that way. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is at least one further stage in the teaching journey, becoming an educator.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>From my perspective, it is not so much the pedagogical or curriculum development competencies that differentiate educators from teachers, but the mindset. For educators, the heart of the educational enterprise is the matter of student learning. The focus is no longer upon learning a language but on learning itself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Knowing this, the educator seeks to equip students with the skills necessary for lifelong learning because s/he wants students to be able to learn on their own, outside of class, and throughout the course of their lives in order to keep pace with today’s knowledge society and its ever changing, ever advancing technology.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What is crucial for educators is to help students learn how to learn. This area is called metacognition and it is incredibly challenging.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It involves helping students to first become aware of their own thinking habits, then the teaching of useful learning strategies that are often new to them, and finally helping the students to apply those strategies for themselves, enabling them to practically, consistently use them on their own.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Another crucial aspect is enhancing students’ awareness of the wide array of resources now available to them, in such forms as educational podcasts, educational YouTube channels, language learning websites, educational app.’s and related technologies.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The educator works at the intersection of lifelong learning, metacognitive learning and soft skills, striving to imbue each student with just the right mixture that will help each one have post graduate success.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These three stages of teaching are broad categories, yet they may be a useful heuristic in reflecting upon our educational and professional journeys. Personally, for the first six years of my career I was an EFL teacher. As I have become steadily more exposed to teaching theory, research and praxis my mindset has progressed to the outlook of the educator, someone who sees learning itself, learning for life, as the heart of the matter.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Below are a set of questions that a person might typically ask at each stage of their career:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>1) The beginning EFL teacher: What are the best practices in teaching English? How to convey the importance of being skilled in English?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2) The language teacher: What are the best practices in teaching languages? How to teach language learning strategies? How to heighten students’ awareness of English as but one example of a useful language to learn?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3) The educator: How to instill motivation to learn? How to increase students’ awareness of the necessity in the 21<sup>st</sup> century of lifelong learning? How to help students learn learning strategies? How to teach for deep learning? How to teach for leadership, character and ethics?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>EFL teachers are frequently allotted a low status by Thais, expatriates and even other teachers. However, might not the beginning TEFL teacher with a 120 hour certificate possess within them the stuff of a Master Teacher?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>People come into the profession of teaching from a variety of entry points; some left unsatisfying careers because they found teaching to be more meaningful; others became English teachers to pay the bills while they work on their novel.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are many travelers who dabbled in TEFL, found they liked it and went on to become excellent educators. There is nothing inherently wrong in teaching EFL. What is wrong are the teachers who stay in it even though they dislike it; they do not develop professionally, and being bitter about their circumstances, do a tremendous disservice to their students. However, these people are unrestricted to the TEFL field: Burned out, bitter teachers are found across subjects.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My own teaching journey has led me to discover the simple yet powerful truth that life <em>is</em> learning. Thus what you teach is secondary to the act of learning itself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nowadays I teach EFL, electives in my specialty areas (psychology and literature), and topics such as leadership, creative thinking and critical thinking. Each is uniquely interesting as well as challenging, and one is not naturally superior to another.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I teach EFL, I try to integrate into it the enriching learning areas of lifelong learning strategies, metacognitive techniques and creative and critical thinking.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Jesse Sessoms</strong></p>',NULL,'2018-07-27 18:22:42',1,'2018-07-27 18:13:06','2018-07-27 18:28:09'),(32308,107,'Culture clash!','culture-clash','Thais are not being rude or deliberately evasive.

Expats here for a year or longer, even more so.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How many newcomers to Thailand have been left dumbfounded or wound up when dealing with Thais, especially when not in a simple customer / seller situation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Who\'s at fault?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But what is the reason behind these ‘misunderstandings’? Indeed, are they actually misunderstandings or is the expat being too generous and giving the local person too much of the benefit of the doubt? Or, dare anyone think it: is the local person just being rude or not bothered?? Surely not? Thai people are always smiling, right?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As always, the truth is somewhere in the middle and the causes of culture clashes are multi-fold and depend on the context.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>(Note: when referring to Thais in the rest of this article, I do not mean the proportionally small set of highly and often foreign educated Thais that some Westerners work alongside in large corporations in Bangkok. These Thais speak great English but by no means are they representative of the ‘average’ Thai.)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first point to understand is the context of the majority of foreigner / Thai interactions, which is where the foreigner speaks in English and the Thai person has a limited understanding of English and an even worse ability to pick up accents / dialects, metaphors and inferences, especially when spoken at normal English speaking speed.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To make matters worse, the foreigner often tries to speak a few words in Thai in the vain hope that this will help – it doesn’t! In most cases, his Thai is pronounced terribly and is as incomprehensible to the Thai person as his English. Cue problems.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Seller and buyer / receiver</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Another important context is what type of situation the interaction is being played out in.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Visitors to Thailand absolutely love the country – quite rightly – because when they come here, everything is cheap and everyone is willing to help and everyone smiles and things are just lovely! But what is the common theme amongst all these interactions? Answer: the foreigner is the customer, receiver or enquirer and the Thai is the seller, host or pseudo-representative of Thailand. Of course things go smoothly – as long as the foreigner is in a position where he needs to be helped or told where to go or what to do and he asks few questions and goes with the flow, everything goes swimmingly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But what happens when the foreigner asks a question that does not follow the script in the local’s playbook entitled ‘How to deal with foreigners, Vol. 1’? What about where the foreigner is not buying something but returning something to a store or reporting a problem with their satellite TV service or trying to explain why he needs things done a certain way? Cue problems.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To make matters worse, the Thai person sometimes answers the question or complaint with a response that seems to be nothing to do with the point. There can be several reasons for this:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Situation 1</strong> - The person genuinely misunderstood the issue / question due to lack of English.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Situation 2</strong> - The person understood fine but the question / complaint is a misunderstanding of the foreigner’s - but the Thai person is too polite to point it out or is trying to ‘save the foreigner’s face’ and so answers something else, which is the real point. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Situation 3</strong> - The person understood the question / complaint but can’t be bothered to explain, either because they would have to use difficult English and / or, as per Thai cultural norms, less talking and less hassle is always preferable to having to go into any detail. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Thinking \'too much\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In situation 1, there is not much that can be done as the conversation is going to be challenging and will probably not go much further.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, in situations 2 and 3, the Thai person does get the issue but his response creates more confusion. The more the foreigner perseveres, asks “why” this and “why” that, the worse it gets.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>While Westerners generally want to know the root cause, Thais generally don’t question too much because it just isn’t worth knowing and is time wasted; better to just get to the solution, life is too short. This fundamental difference is why Westerners call Thais ‘fun-loving’ and Thais always say Westerners “think too much”.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The face saving attempt is another major source of culture clashes, especially when it is combined with language ability limitations. The Thai person has the best of intentions but if the foreigner is a bit inquisitive or intent on getting answers to direct questions, there is bound to be trouble.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How many times have foreigners faced a situation where they have asked a simple question and received the response “Please wait a minute”, followed by the person scampering off and looks of consternation and lots of frenzied activity. Who will speak to the poor foreigner to answer his question?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the meantime, the foreigner is standing there, totally bemused, as, to his mind, the question was fairly simple and perhaps was not even that important and if he had known it would cause such panic, he would have just kept quiet.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Keeping the peace</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>And then there are the Thais who simply cannot be bothered to explain or deal with problems. As mentioned before, Thai culture is all about peace and harmony and taking things easy and not ‘getting headaches’ from having to explain / analyse / cogitate (perish the thought!) and so on.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Western holidaymakers usually think Thais are all angels and saints who go round all day smiling, saluting and curtsying. When you live in Thailand for any length of time, you realise Thai are no different to any other nationality in terms of ‘being happy’; the difference is in how people handle problems and how they communicate. In the West, people prefer being direct and to the point; in the East, it is the opposite…as a generalisation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How many expats, at least the more observant ones, have noticed the look of disdain on a Thai store / restaurant owner’s face when he steps in and god forbid, tries to speak Thai. Or how about when waiting to be served at a market, or anywhere where it mostly Thais - and getting completely ignored.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is when you realise that you are not that special, Thais do not all think you are better than them, they just made you feel like that when you were here on holiday. Now you live here, you see, like every culture and every nationality, there are good and bad aspects to everyone’s character.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Culture clashes are simply an ever-present part of life in Thailand; it is not the same as moving from London to Helsinki, or even Paris. Westerners are more inquisitive, expect more consumer rights and high standards of social interaction and in short, rather entitled. Thais, on the other hand, are humble, rely on themselves, don\'t expect help from others and are anything but direct. Thais are hardly ever rude, certainly not to foreigners but often deal with awkward situations by avoiding the issue, trying to save their own or your face or just being indifferent.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what can a poor Westerner do to deal with all this once he has shed those rose tinted glasses and sees a more balanced view of life in Thailand? Does he panic at the thought that the longer he stays, the more he understands about the people, the more he will step out of his blissful ignorance and deal with frustrations every day? Does he scuttle off back home where things make sense and he knows how everything works. Possibly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Alternatively, he can choose the harder route, which involves:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;1. Being more observant (of people’s mannerisms, reactions, subtle body language etc)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;2. Being more self-aware of how he is coming across to local people</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;3. Trying to fit in (without necessarily losing his own identity)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;4. Learning the culture (which has nothing to do with temples or not pointing your feet etc)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;5. Learning the language…to at least intermediate level and with good pronunciation</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest, if that sounds like a lot of hard work, which it actually is, it is often better to remain in that blissful ignorance, semi-holiday mode. You just do what you are told, smile and go along with everything, speak in English and expect high standards of service.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand can be a fantastic place to stay for, say, a couple of years in that mode, working as, say, a teacher and spending weekends partying or scuba-diving or doing all the other great things Thailand has to offer. An extended holiday if you like.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For those that do want to actually get more out of Thailand and deal with locals in a non-customer / seller context, it will probably involve some or all of those five points. That’s the bad news. The even worse news is, the more one learns and integrates, the more the potential for bemusement and frustration.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what is the good news? Well, once you start fitting in, you have far more rewarding conversations and you are more accepted in society. You know when this is because when people see you, they do not all scurry around trying to serve you – you are just one of the group.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Conversely, when you go somewhere with your Thai girlfriend, Thai people do not just ignore you and talk to her. They look you in the eye and speak to you in normal conversation, not to explain something about Thailand to you but just chat to you like your acquaintances from back home would do at a social gathering.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now you fit in and you will really love Thailand and all those day to day annoyances will all make sense. For the first time, you see the real Thailand. Enjoy!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Stephen is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

That\'s all there is to it. It\'s a sort of one-night, 24-hour luxury vacation that should be, if nothing else, a welcome change of scenery.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We decided to do Yaowaraj Road, the heart of Bangkok\'s Chinatown.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Choice of accommodation is crucial. You aren\'t looking to cut corners and save money here so please - strictly no backpacker hostels or bland hotel chains. &nbsp;You\'re going to splash the cash on the quirkiest, funkiest hotel in the area. You want to book somewhere decidedly upmarket and fashionable because you\'re going to be spending much of your time in the hotel, enjoying their facilities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We opted for The Shanghai Mansion, right in the middle of Yaowaraj Road. &nbsp;To quote from its website - &nbsp;<em>Bangkok Chinatown\'s best boutique hotel,. Romantic, opulent, seductive - 1930s Shanghai comes to<span>&nbsp;</span>life in Bangkok’s historic Chinatown.&nbsp;</em>Perfect!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown1.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib fr-fir\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It turned out to be a great choice. You couldn\'t help but admire the brilliant entrepreneurial mind behind The Shanghai Mansion. The attention to detail was mind-blowing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The hotel offers twin-bedded and double rooms with classic four-poster beds and larger deluxe rooms, ranging from about 1,800 - 2,700 Baht a night.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We went for the Mu Dan Suite one night package - 49 square metres of luxury with a complimentary \'experience\' &nbsp;thrown in.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Here\'s your 1930\'s Shanghai style bathroom and bathtub. There was also a separate modern shower and toilet for those who don\'t do baths.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see, plenty of space and a huge bed. &nbsp;There were no windows in the room though so no natural light coming in (and I suspect that\'s the case for most if not all the rooms) - but on the plus side, everything in the mini-bar was free!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown3.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;Every room had a couple of chairs and footstools outside the door so you could watch life go by on a Shanghai street. &nbsp;I didn\'t see a single guest doing this though apart from us.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the second floor, where the Mu Dan suites are, the rooms open out on to a beautiful ornamental fish pond - and of course some great photo opportunities.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown4.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I mentioned earlier - book a room (any type) and the room rate entitles you to one of three complimentary \'experiences\', which you have to choose upon checking in.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can go for either an organised morning Chinatown walk, enjoy alcoholic drinks in the Red Rose Bar - or stuff your face with an afternoon dim sum high tea.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was an exceptionally easy decision for us. I\'m not a huge fan of organised walking tours. Alcohol sales and the drinking of alcohol were banned because it was a Buddhist holiday (we didn\'t pick the best of weekends did we?) - so the dim sum high tea it was. And it was splendid!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown5.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The downstairs restaurant and bar / cafe is a relaxing place to linger unhurried. &nbsp;There is an air-conditioned section inside and an open area (next to the main street) which welcomes smokers, non-residents and those who want to listen to some live music in the evening. There is even a European front of house manager, walking around in his black suit and making small talk with guests. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On social media, someone had told me to \'bring plenty of money\'. He wasn\'t wrong there because drink prices were certainly not cheap. Cocktails were in the ballpark of 350 Baht ++ (had you been able to order one) and fruit shakes and mocktails were around the 200 ++ mark. Definitely what I would call 5-star hotel prices.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown6.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>After our delicious high tea and a mango smoothie or two, we decided to take an afternoon stroll around at least part of Chinatown, although it must be said we didn\'t have a great deal of enthusiasm for it. &nbsp;If you run down the Chinatown must-see list, it includes the golden Buddha at Wat Traimitr (I saw it many years ago and couldn\'t be bothered going again) shopping in Sampeng Lane (my wife went fairly recently and said the vendors were the rudest she\'d ever encountered) Wat Mangkol Kamalawat (a temple? no thanks!) and a few other sights equally unappealing (to us anyway) I had hoped to persuade my wife to take a stroll around Romaneenart Public Park but her reaction - \"a park! in this heat? Are you nuts?\" - meant I would either have to go alone or not at all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, we did decide to walk the 400 or so metres to find Soi Nana.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown7.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Soi Nana is not the dreadful soi that you and I think of whenever we hear that name. Not that awful soi in lower Sukhumwit where ladies do favors for sailors. This is Soi Nana in Chinatown, and if the travel forums and articles are to be believed, one of the hottest, up and coming nightlife destinations in the city. However, when a nightlife area boasts such a moniker, you instinctively know it\'s going to end in disappointment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Frankly though, I can\'t tell you if Soi Nana lives up to any reputation. The alcohol ban put the mockers on our research as all the bars had clearly decided to close for the day. &nbsp;What did surprise me though was just how small and insignificant-looking the street was. You could walk from one end of the soi to the other in a couple of minutes. &nbsp;Several rather lost and bewildered souls (what do you mean there\'s no beer!) seemed to be doing exactly that. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the one end of Soi Nana (behind me in the photo above) is 103 Bed and Brews, a major player in the Chinatown coffee shop / cafe scene. &nbsp;We thought it would be rude to pass it by but the shop\'s open frontage made it a rather sticky and sweaty place in which to enjoy a latte<span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">. &nbsp;The beautiful old house apparently used to belong to a medical merchant. I\'m not sure how much the old boy made out of selling his medical bits and pieces but I wonder if it comes close to what they make on 120 baht coffees and 150 baht slivers of lemon tart. This might be Chinatown, but these are Thonglor prices. The 103 Bed and Brews also has spacious and clean rooms above the premises that go for about 2,000 baht a night. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Let\'s go down memory lane a while - back to 1990 - and the very first edition of the Lonely Planet Thailand guidebook, written by the brilliant Joe Cummings. I can remember clearly that Joe recommended three main areas of the city if you were looking for cheap digs. The first place was the notorious backpacker ghetto of Khao San Road in Banlampoo, the second was the area around Soi Ngam Duphli, a short walk from Lumpini Park and finally there was Chinatown, where you could still find the 100-baht a night fan room with minimal effort. I also had a teaching colleague in those days who reckoned Chinatown was the last remaining fertile hunting ground for the 200-baht a night female companion, but we won\'t go there. &nbsp;Let\'s just say that times have definitely changed.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown8.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We ambled up Soi Nana, more out of duty than anything else. &nbsp;All the bars and drinking dens were shuttered up but on the left-hand side of the soi was The Nahim Cafe - and that was certainly open for business. I\'m sure I had read on several blogs that this was one of the most instagrammed cafes in Bangkok. &nbsp;A quick look at their website - &nbsp;<em>Possibly the cutest cafe in the city, Nahim Cafe combines adorable homemade crafts with drinks and nibbles you’ll want to capture on Instagram. &nbsp;</em>I would have happily swerved it but my wife had read the description over my shoulder and was now chomping at the bit and already half in the door.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we walked in, every seat in the establishment had been \'taken\'. It was extremely busy but most of the customers were just walking around taking pictures and had left bags or jackets on chairs to reserve them. &nbsp;I didn\'t see an awful lot of coffee being drunk or food being eaten. We didn\'t fancy it and left.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We did give the Nahim Cafe a second chance though and returned later in the evening. This time we were almost the only customers. &nbsp;The polka dot milk shake wasn\'t the manliest of drinks I\'ve ever necked on a Saturday night but the specialty of the house - the peanut butter waffle with ice creams and almonds - was truly glorious. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown9.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown12.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>At 6.00 pm, with darkness beginning to fall, our thoughts turned to where to go for our evening meal. &nbsp;We were in Chinatown, so of course it had to be Chinese food, only it felt like half the world had the same idea. Yaowaraj Road was rammed - as I\'m sure it is every Saturday night. The restaurants were filling up fast (particularly the budget joints with plastic chairs arranged on the footpath) Fruit vendors selling cherries and mangoes were doing a roaring trade, as were those selling the traditional Chinese stuff like cheap candies, dried health food and nuts. &nbsp; At some food vendors (selling takeaway pathong-ko and steamed dumplings) there were already lines of hungry punters snaking around the block. &nbsp;The whole street was buzzing as the familiar neon signage flickered into life.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And yet truthfully, I didn\'t warm to any of it. I\'ve lived here 28 years and Yaowaraj Road is no longer anything special. Even though I never come to Bangkok\'s Chinatown, I\'ve been to Hong Kong a dozen times. I don\'t want to come across as some dreadful travel snob but once you\'ve sampled the culinary delights of Temple Street Market in the heart of Hong Kong and eaten the street-food in Mong Kok, every Chinatown I\'ve ever been to pales into insignificance. It\'s just another Chinatown. The Chinese food in Hong Kong is the best I\'ve ever tasted. It\'s on another level. &nbsp;It\'s the reason you go to Hong Kong.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That said, I saw European families walking around with eyes like saucers, pointing at things excitedly and taking photos of everything that swam in tanks, slithered on metal trays or got grilled on skewers. I was like that the first time I ever came here, clutching my well-thumbed Lonely Planet guide. But the novelty fades.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown10.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Eating dinner back at the hotel (as well as high tea and breakfast) was never part of the master plan, but after half an hour of Yaowaraj Road, squeezing ourselves past slow-moving pedestrians and almost getting flattened by push carts, it felt like our best option. &nbsp;We had perused the dinner menu earlier and although pricey, there was a mouth-watering selection of dishes on offer. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So back to the hotel restaurant we went. &nbsp;I opted for chicken and peppers in a spicy Szechuan sauce. My wife went for a Chinese fried rice dish served up in a lotus leaf. &nbsp;My chicken and peppers was the driest thing I had ever eaten. I\'m not sure if the chef had forgotten the Szechuan sauce but it sure took some getting down. &nbsp;It was awful. And it was a bitter disappointment because in Hong Kong this is probably my go-to dish and they serve it so delicious, you have to close your eyes between mouthfuls so you can fully appreciate what you are eating. &nbsp;My wife gave her fried rice in a lotus leaf four points out of ten. My wife is known for her over-generous food ratings - but four out of ten? Man, that\'s low. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown11.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>But the hotel redeemed itself the following morning with a superb breakfast buffet in the breakfast room on the third floor. &nbsp;I\'ll let the photos do the talking but we couldn\'t have been more impressed - not only with the exceptional selection of Western and Chinese foods - but also with the speed and friendliness of the waiting staff. And what a lovely environment in which to eat breakfast, sitting on plush leather sofas in a room full of Chinese objets d\'arts. &nbsp;Shanghai Mansion, you certainly ended on a high.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown13.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\">&nbsp;<img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/chinatown14.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>So then, we\'ve dipped our toes into the world of neighborhood tourism. Where do I stand on it? My honest answer is \'not really sure\'. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In reality, does Bangkok possess a single neighborhood that merits an overnight stay anyway? &nbsp;A while back my wife and I <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/bangkok-street-art\">had a fun afternoon photographing the street art of Charoenkrung / Lower Silom</a> - but a few hours in th<span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">e afternoon was all it warranted. &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">I wonder if the considerable amount of money spent on just one night away from home might be better put towards a proper three or four-day trip to some of those gorgeous provinces in Northern Thailand.</span>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>\r\n</p>',NULL,'2018-07-30 08:55:17',1,'2018-07-29 18:44:37','2018-07-30 09:12:17'),(32313,104,'All is never what it seems (part 2)','all-never-what-it-seems-part-2','When life takes an unexpected and tragic turn','How pitiful that the poor little girl that she had been, finally having found a little security and looking forward to having a future with her own family - should so tragically lose everything she hoped for.','<p><a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/richard-constable/all-never-what-it-seems-part-1\">Continued from part one .....</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I, so sorry, Greg,\" apologetically \"my water come now.\"<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Thank, God!\" relieved, \"I thought something awful had happened,\" still shaken.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her waters had broken, and her shorts were saturated.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"You not hav to miss work,\" anxious \"I get motorcye to hospital,\" she said irrationally.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Are you crazy?\" concerned \"You can\'t go on the back of a motorcycle and I wanna be there!\"&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"We-hav-to-get-rea-dy-for-her, Greg.\" obviously overcome and crying now \"I not wan you lose the money,\" she was scared.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"I\'ll call in sick,\" trying to calm her down \"don\'t worry we won\'t lose the money,\" I said reassuringly. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>My concern was only for her health and that of our unborn child. At that moment I felt as if I wanted them to be cocooned in my love - in safety for always.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>By the time we got to the hospital she</span> was having contractions, it was happening all to quickly - you didn\'t have to be a doctor to know there something was wrong.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>At first, it was difficult to get the full attention of anyone at the hospital, where we were waiting in a typical cold clinical and hopefully sterile foyer at the reception. Then after we had, the staff never revealed any sense of urgency. Tangmo was patiently looking to the nurses for help, she spoke very little, she appeared concerned but not too stressed.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The legendary lethargic disposition of the native medical workers was something to behold. It wasn\'t just the apparent fact they didn\'t seem to know what they were supposed to be doing, it was their apathy - they just didn\'t seem to care.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I watched helplessly, in my mind praying to a God I didn\'t even feel existed or if he ever had - had deserted me a long time ago.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two female nurses finally moved us into A&amp;E, they placed Tangmo on a medical bed with wheels. Where they were having a lot of difficulties simply finding a vein with a needle to insert a drip, they said that Tangmo had very small veins. I understood the \'lek mark\' (very small) - part of what they were communicating, over and over.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They were now being assisted by a male nurse who was trying to hasten them by repeating \'jai mai dee\' (her heart isn\'t strong.) I was vowing in my mind that, if mother and baby both came out of this okay I\'d do whatever I needed to do to get them back to the USA, where they would at least be taken care of by a first world professional health service.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The nurses finally found a vein and placed a drip - we were moving now - out A&amp;E - back into the foyer - entering a large steel elevator - up to the third floor - we were moving out nowhere in the labor and delivery ward\'s hall - they told me to stop!<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>While I watched - two medical workers pushed her away as a third attended to the drip - neither of us spoke - as they rolled her down the hall - the looks we gave each other were enough to communicate - as she disappeared from sight - what we needed to know.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>That was the last time I were ever to see her alive - sometime later the physician came to tell me that Tangmo\'s blood had been weak, that it was a problem with people from her area. This had caused problems, she died in delivery, they weren\'t able to save the baby. He was talking like this was the most likely outcome, he wasn\'t taking any responsibility, they never do. It\'s something to do with their religion and a firm belief in the next life, a natural chain of events, a semi preordained process.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>All I knew was that I\'d never see her like again and our baby would never know how much she was loved and that I had to go to Sisaket to tell to Tangmo\'s parents what had happened. I would go back to our apartment, pack a change of clothes, and go to Mor Chit Bus Station (Bangkok\'s Northeastern Terminal) to buy a ticket, next I\'d get on a bus - hopefully there would be someone in the village who could speak a little English.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Many hours later, while traveling on an overnight coach I had an aspiration, or possibly no more than a dream - of which I\'m not sure. Nevertheless, it was as real to me as day or night. It was Tangmo - she told me that she was pleased that she gave birth to our baby, because she was a very pretty baby and that she had her mouth and my eyes. Most of all, she told me not to be troubled by her and the baby as they were fine. I told her that, I didn\'t understand how she could be fine because I was anything but fine.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\'Oh, Greg,\' she enlightened me softly, \'you hav to learn trust, we\'ll be together in new life, you, me and baby\'. She sounded more certain of that than she\'d been of anything when she was alive. Yet, of course, she was desperately worried about her parents as they were old and they had no-one to help them now.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>After she went from me again, I must\'ve fallen asleep because the next thing I knew we were in the Sisaket - from here I would take a motorcycle taxi to the village.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Along the way as a pillion passenger, on a long dark winding deserted road, I decided I was going to provide some basic food supplies, tea, sugar, salt, soy sauce, dried noodles, various nuts, for Tangmo\'s parents. I was going to pay for these from the fifty-five thousand baht that Tamgmo and I\'d saved - for the baby. If only we\'d used this money to go to a decent hospital and had Tangmo checked by a specialist. Then possibly, she and the baby would still be alive today, it made me feel sick to think about it. Apart from, a little that I needed myself, I\'d give to them as a parting gift.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had been to the village once before, it consisted of a number of so-called farms, the largest being of no more than 10 acres. The land is extremely level and there are very few trees, it is a bland, bare and monotonous landscape of rice fields with dividing dikes, and hand dug catfish ponds. The Northeast is probably, flora and fauna wise the least attractive area of Thailand. Most of the people who live there - their families have some land.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are far fewer than a hundred dwellings, varying from rusting corrugated shacks (like Tangmo\'s parents,) Thai traditional wooden, concrete rendered self-builds, to the relatively conventional - but never quite. There\'s a quaint little old school made out of corrugated steel and hand painted dark green - it has a limited playground. It\'s not far away from a small mom and pop shop that sells basic products, and of course, there is a temple. The temple is modest, concrete in addition to rendering, whitewashed facades, with a high sloped orange clay tiled tradition Thai roof, with mildly decorative golden fascias as well as bargeboards.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It stands on about half an acre of ground in the opposite corner to the monks living accommodation which is built in the same style and is encompassed by a high matching wall which has two huge black iron gates at its front center - adjacent to a concrete road. Here Tangmo hoped we would be married sometime in October, in the mid-semester school break. Now she would be laid to rest, possibly alongside our baby, in the small morgue standing next to the monks quarters. There is where her uncle\'s body lay before we attended his cremation.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I wandered around a little ahead of daybreak, the sun was just about to come into view, enjoying the cool, calm stillness, prior to the rising of the inhabitants. I thought about how Tangmo was born and brought up in this village. How she went to school and loved to learn, how she played in its playground. Ran in the fields with the other local children. Went to the temple to worship, to pay her respects and more to get a merit.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How pitiful that the poor little girl that she had been, finally having found a little security and looking forward to having a future with her own family - should so tragically lose everything she hoped for. I had to convince myself that it was somehow meant to be and to do like she told me on the coach - to trust - if I didn\'t I could easily become very bitter and that wouldn\'t help at all.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It wouldn\'t help Tangmo\'s parents who could hopefully find comfort in their faith. I began to see for the first time, what a great asset having a firm religious belief, truly was at times like these. If there is no faith, nothing, but being afraid, upset, confused - we have to try to make some sense of the situation or remain in the same state of hopelessness.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>At dawn, four tangerine robed monks each bearing a gold painted circular wicker basket over their shoulders assisted by roped straps came out of the temple\'s compound, where I was standing waiting opposite the gates. On seeing me the head monk, a thickset man with a broad friendly face and a high heavily furrowed forehead, whom I recalled could speak a little English, g<span>reeted me with, \"Hello Gleg,\" while striding over the road \"Why you come here?\" stopping in front of me.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Tangmo?\" he said \"She not!\" while looking questionably into my eyes.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>He stopped before he said another word, I was nodding my head, tears began to run down my face, for the first time since they\'d died, I cried.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>He then told me how the morning before, when Tangmo\'s mother came to the temple to pray she was extremely worried and tired as she\'d been afraid to go back to sleep, after having a terrible dream in the night. In the dream, an old monk from the village who\'d died many years previously came to tell her that Tangmo was ready to go the next life. He said that she\'d always been a good girl and she\'d been tested many times and had passed - she\'d be rewarded in the next life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I still hadn\'t spoken at all. I watched as the furrows in his forehead deepened even further, before he asked me about the baby, again I just shook my head. He looked shocked and deeply sadden and said, \"We not know about baby, we want she be okay,\" he then began to cry.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>After that emotional confrontation with the truth, still not being able to voice what had happened. We took a short stroll to her parents humble home, they answered the door together fully clothed, a frail gray couple looking much older than their years. They had been waiting intently, expecting, hoping against hope - it hadn\'t prepared them for the shock.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>When the monk told them, they both collapsed, howling, grasping each other, it was harrowing to witness. I had never seen human beings in such a state of total emotional distress, these people love their family\'s so much, they don\'t have much else - they grieve unashamedly. It was worse than I\'d imagined, I began to think I\'d made a mistake in coming, when Tangmo\'s mother looked up at me and said, \"Thank you,\" in English. She spoke again, this time in Laotian-Thai, I could make out only the word \'rak,\' meaning love.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The monk explained that the mother was saying, \"Tangmo love you so much, you make she happy, they want you to know,\" he expressed these sentiments strongly. He then helped them to their feet as one, they did not relinquish their grip upon the other. I just about managed to tell the monk to tell them, how much she loved her parents before I embraced both of them - he told the inconsolable pair in their language and again through pitiful tears, they both gasped the words, \"Thank, you!\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few hours later, having been to the temple, Tangmo\'s grief-stricken parents back at home were slightly less distraught than earlier this morning. At that moment, a mud brown police vehicle parked outside their three roomed dwelling and two police officers got out. A male and a female, Tangmo\'s father opened the door before the policewoman had time to knock. The police basically told them, what I\'d told the monk and what he\'d been able to translate but with more detail. Also, that the hospital had arranged for their bodies to be brought from Bangkok by train. They were already being brought from the station in the nearest town and would be arriving anytime.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Soon the police were on their way, having done their job, I knew I\'d to do mine. I asked the ever helpful affable monk to convey to my once future in-laws what\'d happened on my journey to Sisaket, how their recently departed daughter came to me, and exactly what she said.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Neither the monk nor Tangmo\'s parents reacted to my account in the way that I\'d expected them to - in fact they didn\'t react at all.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I hadn\'t purchased anything with the savings as I\'d intended, I had basically forgotten. So, I just knelt down on the concrete floor in front of them, waied, (a traditional gesture of respect) while lowering my head to the ground I presented them with fifty thousand baht. It was the last thing I could do for Tangmo, whatever the reality of the situation. This is what she would have wanted, it was the best that I could do.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, I reasoned that I\'d be leaving before their bodies arrived - because the next time I saw Tangmo and our baby, would be in another life, where we\'d be together. To my relief, and comfort, the three not only seemed in agreement that it was the right thing to do, they appeared to entirely understand.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be blatantly honest, unquestionably, the absolute last thing I would ever wish for is to view Chanrisa\'s corpse - when I paid my respects at her uncle\'s cremation, his coffin was open. I wanted to remember my sweet love the way she was - the last time I\'d seen her at the hospital. Looking beautiful, concerned but not stressed and knowing that we sensed and understood each other\'s thoughts and feelings - that moment when - we both believed that we were soon going to be parents for the first time - to a precious and perfect <span>baby girl. &nbsp;</span></p>',NULL,'2018-07-31 19:51:46',1,'2018-07-31 19:51:42','2018-07-31 19:54:16'),(32314,52,'August 2018','august-2018','Promotions, deals and news from Thailand\'s leading TEFL course providers','Whether you are looking to take a course in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket or some paradise tropical island, we\'ve got something for everyone in our monthly Thailand TEFL course round-up.','<p><strong><br><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/Int_TEFL_academy.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii fr-fil\">International TEFL Academy</strong> - ITA offers a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/tefl-tesol-certification-courses-asia-thailand-chiang-mai\">4-week TEFL TESOL certification course</a> in Chiang Mai that will qualify you for jobs in Thailand and worldwide.

Divide that number by 12 to get your monthly retirement income.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>6. If your retirement date is more than 20 years away, divide that number by 2 to account for inflation (assuming 3.5% per year). If you want to see the effects of high inflation, divide by 4 instead.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>7. Compare the result to your spending last month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>That is what your retirement looks like if you do not invest for the future.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The above calculation is simple and doesn\'t take pensions, investments, or actual inflation into account, but you get the idea. If your result is far short of what you spend, you need to start investing for the future as soon as possible.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning for retirement doesn\'t have to be complicated.

Consider getting a part-time job or working online to increase your income.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A little goes a long way. For example, just investing 5,000B per month can easily turn into close to 2.5 million in 20 years (assuming an annual return of 7%). Invest 10,000B per month and you now have close to 5 million. That is the magic of compounding returns over the long run.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Using the 4% rule, 5 million Baht gives you a monthly retirement income of over 16,000B. 10 million Baht gives you over 30,000B per month.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The table below shows the retirement income you can receive with monthly investments ranging from 2,000B to 50,000B, again assuming an annual return of 7% over 20 years.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/investment-income.png\" style=\"width: 300px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>*Note that markets don\'t go up in a straight line and returns are not guaranteed, but investing regularly for the long-term greatly reduces your risk.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now you know how much you need to invest every month, but what should you invest in and what about taxes?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Luckily, if you live and work in Thailand you can thank the Thai government for providing one of the most investment-friendly tax systems in the world. I didn\'t believe it either until I learned the basics, but it\'s true.

Thailand doesn\'t tax gains made on the stock market. So not only will you save money on your taxes when you invest, your gains will be tax-free when you sell your investments decades later (Americans might owe tax to the US government).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tax-deductible investments in Thailand are called Long-Term Equity Mutual Funds (LTF\'s) and Retirement Mutual Funds (RMF\'s). You can invest up to 15% of your annual income in each. There are restrictions like minimal holding times and equities are not risk-free, but regularly investing in LTF\'s and RMF\'s for the long-term is one of the best ways in the world to build wealth.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Investing is available to every teacher in Thailand since you only need 2,000B or less to open an investment account.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"zxx\"><u><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/ltf-and-rmf/\">Click here</a></u></span> for more information about LTF\'s and RMF\'s.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand has a low cost of living and an investment-friendly tax system, so there\'s no excuse not to invest and plan for your retirement.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Visit <span lang=\"zxx\"><u><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/\">FIREinThailand.com</a></u></span> for more information on investing and retiring in Thailand.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/\"><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/fire2.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></a>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You might also be interested in:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/why-fire-is-better-than-a-bar-girl/\"><strong>Why FIRE is Better Than a Bar Girl</strong></a> - Thailand\'s reputation as a cheap adult playground may be slow to die, but there’s no doubt nightlife is nothing like it used to be and is now poor value for money.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/how-to-avoid-investment-scams-in-thailand/\"><strong>How to Avoid Investment Scams in Thailand</strong></a><span>&nbsp;</span>- independent financial advisors in Thailand have the shameful reputation of being some of the most immoral in the world, and that reputation is often well-deserved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://fireinthailand.com/retire-in-thailand-lifestyle/\"><strong>The Retirement Lifestyle in Thailand</strong></a> - have you ever wondered what it would be like to retire to a tropical paradise?</p>',NULL,'2018-08-01 18:59:36',1,'2018-08-01 18:55:20','2018-08-01 18:59:42'),(32316,90,'Games to try in your classroom','games-try-your-classroom','Five games / activities that work with Thai students','Thai students of all ages love games. Even adult learners with serious jobs can really get into games. I also love them too because they are a fun thing to add to a class and you can make them relevant at the same time.','<p>I teach both adults and children here in Thailand and in every class I try and play at least one game. Below are my favorite five games which you could try with your students here in Thailand or anywhere really!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. From small to big&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I use this game to help students with animal vocabulary but you could use it with other categories such as countries or items in the house. Most of my classes have fewer than ten students so I do this as a whole class game.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Students have to stand or sit in a circle and take it in turns to name animals starting with the smallest one they know until the biggest. I normally elicit ant and whale as the smallest and biggest to help them out. If they start with ant they could progress something like:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>ant</p>\r\n\r\n<p>bee</p>\r\n\r\n<p>worm</p>\r\n\r\n<p>hamster</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I use my hands to show the size of the animals to help them imagine which animal is slightly bigger than the previous one. I also tell students that they can’t help each other. Also they can\'t say small dog, medium dog and big dog, I just take the adult size of an animal. I will normally set them a target, usually 20, to see if they know enough animals in ascending size order. You can set a time limit too if you wish.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have a large class you can get them to work in small groups of three or four and write down their list of animals on paper for you to check after.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>2. Word train</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A really popular game suitable for students of all ages and abilities. Students have to make new words using the last letters of the previous word.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>For example in the word “apple” students could use the “e” to make the word “egg” then they could use the “g” from egg to make “green” next they would use the “n” etc…&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>To score more points they can use the last two, three or four letters of a word.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>For example in the word “apple” they could use “le” to make “lend” they could then use “end” to make “ending” etc….</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can set time limits, set target points and even have multiple groups battling each other to win.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>3.&nbsp;</span><strong>Yes / No Game</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is a great game to use with kids and can be used in many ways.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The idea is that you will ask a questions and the students have to stand on one side of the room if the answer is “yes” and the other side of the room if the answer is “no”.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With young or low level learners it is great for concept checking. You can ask questions like “Is today Monday?” or “Are you from Mexico?” and see if students understand the language point you are teaching.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>You can use it with more advanced students by adding a debate section afterwards. For example maybe the question is “Should we tax unhealthy snacks more?” students on opposite sides have two minutes to defend their opinion. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With children, put rules in places to stop them from running, pushing or shouting as they will likely try to do all three!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>4. Describe the word</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>This game is more suitable for adults and is a good way to help them with vocabulary.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Split your class into groups of three to five students. One student from each group then comes to the front of the classroom. You need to write a word onto a piece of paper and make sure the students at the front see and understand it. They then have to describe it to their team without saying the word.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>To explain how to play I say the following to the students :&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>“For example if the word is pizza you could say -&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>It’s a food</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s from Italy</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>It’s a circle shape</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s got cheese and tomato”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Each student does three words before getting a different member of the team to come to the front and try. The first team to get the correct answer wins a point. The first team to five/ten/twenty points is the winner.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp;</strong><strong>Make Words</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Suitable for all ages and levels. Make a 3 x 3 square of nine letters and students have to use them to make as many words as possible. I usually set a three or four minute time limit. Make sure you have a mixture of vowels and consonants. If they are more advanced students give them less common letters.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I usually do something like this for kids or low level students:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>S &nbsp;T &nbsp;B</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>R &nbsp;A &nbsp;E</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I &nbsp;M &nbsp;H</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>From the table above students could make words such as:</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>BAT</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>RAT</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>MARS</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>TIMER</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>You can decide if students are allowed to use each letter more than once or if plurals are permitted.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Using games with Thai students</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai students of all ages love games. Even adult learners with serious jobs can really get into games. I also love them too because they are a fun thing to add to a class and you can make them relevant at the same time.

Teachers should be like game show hosts or performers in the classroom.','Chances are that your employer in Thailand will put some pressure on you to add some edutainment to help them keep students and get good reviews. If you can’t do this then you’ll probably be looking for a new job pretty soon.','<p>Over the past few months I’ve really enjoyed my job.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Previously I was traveling over an hour each way to get to the school where I worked, compared to my 15-minute commute nowadays - and that certainly makes a difference! The other key point is that I’ve tried to make my classes more fun for the students and myself. I think I’m really getting into edutainment….&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What is edutainment?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Edutainment is the idea that teachers should entertain and not just teach students. Teachers should be like game show hosts or performers in the classroom. The idea behind this is that students want fun lessons and don’t want to do the same old activities, exams and grammar exercises etc.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In a lot of Thailand\'s shopping malls, the section or space that is home to tutoring schools, language centers and other learning facilities is often called the “Edutainment Zone”.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teachers don\'t like edutainment</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I’ve not really heard many people stand-up for edutainment. A look online, and probably even in the comments section for this article, will show you that “professional teachers” shouldn’t be concerned with edutainment and it is offensive for schools to ask teachers to be performers.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Supposedly edutainment means that students don’t learn as much and only really switch on for games and other fun activities. It also affects the self worth of teachers who feel they aren’t progressing or aren’t taken seriously.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>On a more serious note it can lead to a sharp increase in Teacher Talk Time (TTT) if the teacher does decide to become some sort of lively presenter during class. TTT is something that should be kept down, but is useful sometimes to help motivate a class and create a better atmosphere.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>The middle ground</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In all honesty, schools don’t expect a class to be 100% full of games and fun. They know that learning has to take place, however, the idea that lessons can be fun and entertaining doesn’t mean that learning aims and goals wont be achieved. This is the point that a lot of anti-edutainment teachers don’t get.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In my experience, a lot of teachers aren’t prepared to have a little fun in the classroom. So many teachers here are miserable and boring. In the end you don’t have to be a clown or an MC but just need to focus on making your classes interesting and fun for everyone there.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>My time teaching Prathom and adult students in Thailand has shown me that they love to play a few games but are also prepared to study. &nbsp;I also know that if you have a serious class without something fun or entertaining then some students will switch off. In reality classes need a mix of education and edutainment to help reach their goals.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Teaching kids</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>My current job was the first one where I had to teach young kids (5-12 year-olds). I was pretty nervous and was scared about how I could get them to enjoy classes. What I did to help me was observe other teachers.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>On my first day I watched a teacher conduct a great lesson with a class of 6 year-olds. He showed me his lesson plan and I thought it was ambitious but he delivered it in a way where the kids were invested in their learning and were always active. By the end of the class I had picked up so many great tips and ideas. In the end simple activities were made fun - and class routines helped everything flow.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The teacher used slapstick humor, sound effects and a lot of letting the students draw on the interactive whiteboard. Sure these things might not be appropriate for all age levels, but they are ways of providing edutainment for younger kids whilst still learning. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Teaching adults</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Adults are usually more focused on the reasons that they are learning English. Most of them will have a goal they want to reach. Sure they want to learn the grammar or vocabulary but classes should still have a splash of edutainment in them.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I’ve taught CEOs, doctors and politicians - all people with serious jobs - and often after a day at work, they want something entertaining when it comes to learning English. Don’t feel you need to abolish fun in adult classes because they probably enjoy the games just as much as the kids!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of my colleagues did a class based around space travel where the students were split into astronauts and aliens. They then had to ask each other questions about life on their planet whilst “space walking” on the moon. It made a pretty simple Q&amp;A activity into something more memorable, which all of the students got into.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>18 months in the job</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Now, 18 months after starting my current job, I feel comfortable in the role. I know how things work and what I should be doing. This second year in the job means I’m covering the syllabus for the second time and I decided to charge up my lessons to stop myself becoming bored and stale.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my first year I did most things by the book as it was easy to do and I thought it was my only option. This year I’m adding my own touches and improving lessons that either didn’t work or were boring first time around. One of the key ways I’m changing classes is to make them more fun and interesting for my students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Adding competitions, races and time limits makes a lot of difference to almost any task. Previously students read texts from their books and now I use running dictations, speed reading and pair reading tasks which the students love.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>For some adult classes I occasionally add an arts and crafts element such as drawing posters, making a model or creating a collage. These are all tied to the lesson and learning aims but have proved popular too.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I have also enjoyed the change and feel it helps keep my job interesting when repeating what I’ve already taught. It’s something you could try if you’ve been in your job a while.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Your school</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve worked at a couple of language schools and one of the key points put forward by management is that classes should be fun. One particular school I worked at would have theme days every month where teachers would dress up in costumes, do shows and go on activities with students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was great fun and that was the school where I saw most progress from my learners. The most important aspect of the edutainment at this school was that it created a bond between students and teachers which led to improved learning and overall English skills.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I also worked at a Thai high school where fun was deemed more important than grammar. I worked there from October to January and during that time most focus was put on the students making posters for Halloween and Christmas handcrafts. The school were happy that the kids learned some vocab and spoke in English but really wanted them to enjoy the time with their foreign teacher. I felt the students at this school were confident to use English as they had very grammar focused lessons with their Thai teachers and they appreciated the chance to be more relaxed in my class.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I imagine working at an international school would be somewhat different. You probably have more pressure to deliver exam results but still there are ways to make classes fun.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Education v edutainment</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Overall I guess the issue with the word “edutainment” is that most people believe it’s just about turning classes into sideshows where learning takes a back seat. In all honesty I feel you need a bit of entertainment to make a class successful. I’m not saying you need to be a performer but should try and plan lessons where there are entertaining activities built around the learning aims.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There will be some who will point to teaching theory and other such things who will try and say that fun for fun’s sake is not the key point in teaching. The problem is that your employer here in Thailand will probably put some pressure on you to add some edutainment to help them keep students and get good reviews. If you can’t do this then you’ll probably be looking for a new job pretty soon. &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I visited and viewed the majestically mystically beautiful and fascinating Emerald Temple. Other than that, I disposed of my time in Big Bad Bangers, going on shopping sprees and gorging on great nosh - just as you\'re supposed to. There are a multitude of massive malls with first class department stores, not to mention mile upon mile of street market stalls infinite in their variety that a girl can just literally shop until she drops, exhausted and pacified.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You know the usual places, I browsed and bought everywhere from JJ Market (large outdoor market) to the Paragon (prestigious mall/department store). Thai cuisine is a wonderful neverendingly culinary delight. The street food is possibly the most delicious, and doubtlessly the most inexpensive.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nevertheless, it just wasn\'t enough, the City of Angels is a such massive metropolis jungle with all its concrete and steel, hustle and bustle, varying tiers of society - I was so determined to come back someday and just immerse myself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A couple of years later I\'d stayed at a resort in Koh Samui for a calendar month - a beautiful island surrounded by a cyan sea in Southern Thailand. In Samui I just chilled, hung out with my newly acquired friends. If our gang managed to raise our heads early enough as in we didn\'t have any Thai talent in tow, we\'d take a saunter to the local communal temple where we\'d light joss sticks and pay our respects to the Lord Buddha. I couldn\'t describe the feeling of peace and wellbeing - we\'d give food to the monks and be blessed by them. While we were there we\'d pick up some of those multiple colored pieces of soft string and tie them around each other’s tanned wrists - it was just perfect.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>On most sunny afternoons our gaggle of gals would crash on the sable soft sand soaking up the radiant rays, sampling the freshly caught cooked limitless supply of succulent seafood pushed by a continuous stream of vendors along the shore, just listening to the waves whispering, swathing and lisping against the beach. Sharing shit about girl stuff, slurping iced coconut juice through a straw from its shell, while getting perved at by ugly geriatric foreign sex tourists and being peered at by the attractive prime young local lads - pure paradise.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After dusk our troupe would head for a bar or a club, have a few refreshments, chat, groove, gel with the natives. Thai people are just so, so sociable. We couldn\'t go anywhere without being approached, not just by guys but also toms and oh yeah many of the Thais oscillate like a pendulum - so it\'s a real conundrum. Sometimes we\'d all go skinny dipping in the sea after closing. I must say I did my fair share of experimentation that month. Well, I mean, some of the Thai girls have bodies to die for and I must say - all a girl\'s dreams can come true in tropical Thailand. I believe it’s just natural curiosity and having the opportunity to explore your own boundaries.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What about Thai guys? Yeah, what can I say - so dark with dazzlingly smiles tanned angular torsos and taught backsides. To be forthright I have to say they don\'t always measure up yet what they lack, they make up for in enthusiasm and they are completely comfortable with their sexuality - I came out in favor of men. All the same, I\'m not a traditionalist - I definitely don\'t mingle to marry. Two lost and lonely people living together, all the same belonging apart, regretting that they\'d ever met neither wanting nor needing the other - that won\'t be me!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, on my return to the UK, having then worked hard plus saved even harder enough money from my salary - all in the last year. I was a manager for a Weatherspoon\'s pub, then quit with notice - I\'m not that impulsive. I booked my flight besides a place on a TEFL course in Bangkok and here I am - cool for cats!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Doing my TEFL was glorious fun, I\'ll never forget it. (Teach English as a Foreign Language; a four-week course for would be teachers.) My fellow classmates were a great crowd who formed an aggregation of nationalities - one or two could hardly even speak English. We had so many laughs, rolling in late from the night before - somehow or other we all managed to pass. I\'m still in touch with most of em through Line yet regrettably I\'m the only one remaining in the capital. Which is a shame cause I could use the company, if only for a real night out.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Scribe and Speak, the TEFL personages got me a spot teaching at a secondary school in Hua Lampong, almost in the heart of the city. It\'s an all girls\' school which is pleasant. I am not sure, if I\'d be strict enough to teach boys. If the pooying (girls) are naughty, I\'ll offer them sweets as a bribe for them to behave. Red, orange, green, yellow - the peculiar thing is they always select the green ones. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m now in my fourth month and everything is going swimmingly. The students regularly tell me that they love me, “Miz. Leanne,” in deep rich broken English, “I luuv yoou!” Wears a bit thin after a while, in spite of that I\'m sure they mean well as well as this the head of the English program Khun Kung a Thai teacher frequently tells me, \'You good teaching!\' She\'s a well preserved fifty-something and has never been married. This seems to be commonplace here as if they were married to their careers.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve been getting loads of attention from the male Thai teachers, shiploads more from the female ones. Probably insomuch as my hair which is naturally mousy - is peroxide blond at the moment. Moreover, my eyes that are normally a steely gray-blue, I have enhanced to vibrant sea blue with colored contacts. A veteran teacher gave me the heads up; the Thais just adore blue-eyed blonde-haired foreigners and he wasn\'t exaggerating. (I used to get my fair share of attention back home in the UK, in contrast to that farang (foreign) blokes don\'t even give me the time of day here.)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Haven\'t been going out as often as I\'d have liked. 32,000 baht (about £750) a month doesn\'t roll very far. Yeah, street food is tasty and value for your baht, regardless of how you look at it - I would still kill for a tin of John West\'s kipper fillets. Alcohol is a genuine bargain, you can get well smashed for less than a fiver and traveling around is amazingly cheap - the buses are practically free.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The thing is with the expense of the visa runs (having to go to a bordering country every three months) and saving up for a flight home, while you\'ve only got a nine-month contact. Whereas, the fact that your accommodation is only 6,000 baht per month as well as if you can get up early enough you can go on-foot-for-free to work - doesn\'t help much to hack it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a matter of fact, I have been seriously considering writing a novel based on my experiences in order to raise some real cash. I\'m thinking of calling it, \'The Prime of Miss Leanne Brodie,\' ha! Ha!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nonetheless, managed to get out the other night, persuaded my miserable moo of a co-teacher to come out of hiding. Daisy, pale blue-eyes, a healthy complexion, light brown hair along with a nice trim body that\'s wasted on her. Formally of Fairfax Virginia, got wed when she was all of twenty-two to a fella she\'d been seeing since high school. Lasted for just three years, the Virginian\'s got divorced and came straight out here.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Daisy usually lives via the internet; one those who reads and eagerly laps up the complete trash, the obscure theories. You know, the worlds actually square shaped; Prince Harry\'s wife Meghan Markle is a transgender great-grandchild of the late Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Quorn is made almost entirely of animal fats!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We took the MRT (subway) two stops to Silom Central department store, went directly to a Japanese chain restaurant - Yayoi. If you like to pay three times the usual amount for a basic chicken fillet, tasteless mushy boiled rice, a thankfully miniature bowl of watery pee soup and a half a handful of dry grated salad. All slightly moistened by a glass almost completely full of ice cubes with two tablespoons’ full of lemon tea - then this is the place for you!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Soon after, we returned to Hua Lampong via the underground, hailed a tuk-tuk (small three-wheeled Asian vehicle) to a cheesy Chinese bar, black lacquered panels, rouge red paper lanterns and golden tinged plastic dragons in China Town, a short distance from the school. Fairfax\'s finest has necked a mocktail, tossed a wet blanket over her shoulder and slouched off home alone - what a one knob wonder! By that time, I\'d met this gorgeous Thai guy, Somchai, tall, dark and 27. A plainclothes police detective, never would\'ve guessed - we\'ve knocked back a bottle of Sang Som (Thai whiskey) between us, next he\'s taken me back to my flat on the rear of his huge jet-black chopper motorbike. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alright, you\'ve figured it but let me tell you no woman with a natural appetite could\'ve resisted Somchai. Oh, my goodness! He rode me ragged - forwards - backwards, sideways, and believe you me he did measure up. Though like my auntie Suzy used to say, they always look bigger when they\'re coming at you. And ou! It sends shivers down my spine just thinking about what he didn\'t do - extremely attentive the Thai people - you have to luv em!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unfortunately, Somchai is married, so he couldn\'t spend the whole night - brief but sweet! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, there\'s some kind of a problem at the school, can\'t think what. The Welsh gay guy Mark, the agent Scribe &amp;Speaks coordinator is coming to have a chinwag with yours truly. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Lee-anne,\" in an over pronounced Welsh accent.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mark who\'s about forty, slim and average height, is looking immaculate as usual with his Truefitt and Hill trimmed silver gray barnet, silky pink long-sleeved open neck shirt, navy blue slacks, matching tobacco brown leather belt, loafers and watch strap. He has been waiting for me, while sitting central on the front edge of my desk in the back right-hand corner of our large old traditional style teachers\' office, which is daily inhabited by sixteen teachers only two of whom are foreign.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Hi, Mark.\" Standing in front of him, looking up, I\'d just returned from teaching a lesson - now I felt like I was a student. \"How\'s it going?\" I asked in my charcoal gray sack dress, maroon Moroccan slippers with my hair up in a bun, having neglected to put on any underwear I also felt inadequate and underdressed. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Could we go somewhere,\" pausing \"outside the teachers\' office,\" putting the fore finger of his left-hand to his philtrum for effect \"the canteen perhaps?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mark was looking serious - \'Youu ser-i-ous!\' The Thai people say - they don\'t like it and at this moment - neither did I. \"Sure, the canteen sounds fine,\" pretending not to care.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Five minutes later, in the enormous outdoor eating area of the oblong shaped school canteen, with its eight small countered kitchens each sell their own specialty at the top far opposite end to the main access. It was empty now apart from the canteen staffs who were acting without any purpose or intention. Lazing, lying, littered around, snoozing, spread here and sprawled there, on benches, on the floor, on and under tables. It was the time between breakfast and dinner, we had sat down at the very first table we had come to which was vacant. Mark was sitting opposite me on the other side of a large nimbus patterned Formica surface with his back to the distant kitchens.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"So, Lee-anne. How do you like the school? \"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Yeah, triffic,\" just a formal visit as I thought \"all the teachers are so friendly, and the kids love me,\" feeling relieved.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Yesss, we\'ve heard-you- sometimes-arrive-late.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He\'s probably just testing me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Well, no not really,\" on second thoughts \"maybe just a little bit, swaying my head from side to side jovially \"oc-cas-ion-ly.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Mmm,\" scratching his head with the fingers of his left hand \"we\'ve heard you\'ve been over 30 minutes late three times this month, not including today when-you-were at-least 45 minutes late.\" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Who the hell had told him that? Mark was looking at me now as if I were some sort of criminal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Also, you\'ve managed to miss,\" raising his left eyebrow \"four lessons,\" while looking at me and retaining the same expression.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, what if I was and I did!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Explaining \"I know, I fell asleep, I\'d meant to wake up - there\'s such a long gap in between lessons.\" making an excuse in haste \"Have you seen my schedule?\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"That isn\'t much of an excuse,\" Mark was looking unimpressed with an exaggerated down in the mouth expression. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'ll just agree and offer to apologize.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,\" laughing falsely and shaking my head like a nine-year-old girl, \"I know - it won\'t happen again, I\'ll apologize to Khun Kung,\" compromising \"she\'s my friend.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Lee-anne, always remember that you\'re - never - in. When you\'re having lunch together in the canteen, you - aren\'t - in. When you\'re going for drinks together in the evening, you - aren\'t - in. Even when you\'re having sexual in-ter-course together in the toilets, you - still - aren\'t - in, because you - aren\'t - Thai - and when it hits the fan. They\'ll always back each other up to the hilt and back again - while taking the greatest of pleasure in giving you the cold shoulder. We\'ve been asked,\" putting the bit between his teeth \"to find-a re-plac-ment.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mark had started out with dulcet tones and ended up speaking like a psychotic. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"What? I couldn\'t believe it \"There must be some mistake, khun Kung, she told me again today.\" feeling physically sick \'You good teaching!\' super optimistically \"I\'ll talk to her, she\'s - my friend.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"We\'d much rather you didn\'t,\" forcefully \"there have been other complaints, if you must know.\" sadistically \"Yes!\" Metaphorically licking the tip of his pencil \"Falling asleep at your desk and in the library, wearing tops that were to revealing - showing too much cleavage anddd visible tat-toos!\" shaking his head in disbelief, \"That will never do.\"</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was livid now, I just lost it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"You must be fucking joking!\" glaring \"Those bastards all enjoyed having a good perv!\" resentfully and ironically \"Some of these bitches had never ever even seen a set of woman\'s tits before!\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Chill-ax!\" Mark\'s mouth agape - eyes agog \"Leanne, that won\'t get you anywhere - we\'ve had reports - of - your breath - smel-ling of al-co-hol,\" making the most of the moment. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My head was spinning, those two-faced lecherous lizards smiling in my face, while stabbing me in my back and just like none of them hadn\'t had the odd drink.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Leanne,\" knowingly \"you did have a certain reputation - when you did your TEFL - for your extracurricular activities,\" cryptically.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"I treat it like a holiday - I wasn\'t the only one - so what now?

When policy undermines our classroom practice, things can get frustrating.','<p lang=\"en\">If you are reading the blogs on this website, chances are high that you are a teacher, you have some vested interest in Thailand, and you are interested in improving the quality of English language in your classrooms and in your school.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Browsing through the blogs and articles that are here on Ajarn, though, you get a clear sense that sometimes it seems that no matter how much we try and how hard we work, there are forces conspiring against success.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">Government policies</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">One of these \'forces\' are the government policies which frame our teaching context. A quick search of the Ajarn site shows that <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/tag/thai-government-policies\">\'government policy\'</a> is a major concern to many of our writers and readers, and rightly so. When policy undermines our classroom practice, things can get frustrating.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">What are these policies that are so important? Ministry level policies influence things like average class size, the number of hours dedicated to English study in the school day, the kind of training given to teachers, decisions about the use of foreign teachers, and the amount of language support available to students outside of the classroom.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">These are issues that are likely to have implications for you and your students. <a href=\"https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-22464-0_16\">Policy decisions, for example, might be to blame</a> for Thailand\'s score of 15 of 20 Asian countries on the <a href=\"https://www.ef.co.th/epi/regions/asia/thailand/\">English language proficiency index</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\"><a href=\"http://elt-thailand2018.in.th//download/Conference_program.pdf\">In a featured talk at the ELT Thailand International Conference</a>, Richard Watson Todd from King Mongkut\'s University of Technology Thonburi pointed out how Thai education policies reflect the idiosyncratic predilections of the incumbent minister at any one time. <a href=\"http://www.moe.go.th/websm/2018/3/269.html\">With 21 different Ministers of Education in the last 18 years</a>, there has been little chance of consistent policy decisions. As each new minister steps in, old policies are abandoned and new ones taken up, with little consideration for the voices of the people at the coalface like us.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">Adding your voice</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">But how can the educators, administrators, parents and students who are downstream of the policies make themselves heard? Will the ministry listen to anything we have to say? In addition, do we all agree with one another on what should be the best policies to implement?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">For example, do the native English speaking teachers who contribute to ELT in Thailand have ideas that align with the interests of parents? Can any one us – parents, administrators, teachers, students - take into consideration the incredibly complex demands which form the basis of policy decisions? These are all good questions, and to answer them, Richard has embarked on some really fun and interesting research, and perhaps you\'d like to get involved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">I referred to Richard\'s study <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/stephen-louw/what-if-you-were-the-minister-of-education\">in a previous blog</a> but it\'s time to revisit it in the name of research. The goal of the study is to find out what we (the downstream coal-face people, that is) have to say, and whether there are patterns that could inform a more consistent set of national policies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Richard and his team at KMUTT have devised a simulation <a href=\"http://meg.ibankstory.com\">where you play the minister of education</a>. Your goal is to spend 2000 million Baht on English language related policies to positively impact educational outcomes. Before you start you can familiarize yourself with the various criteria for evaluating educational success (like the English language proficiency index I cited above) so you know what\'s at stake and can make informed decisions, like any good Minister of Education should.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Each policy decision you make has some effect on these outcomes, but not all policies are equally effective. In addition, while some policies might be good for one of the educational indices, it might not be good for another.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">For example, for only 800 million Baht, the number of hours allocated to English in the school schedule can be increased. That might improve English proficiency scores, but what will it do to the overall education quality index given that time has been removed from another classroom subject? To find out how these, and other decisions like them, affect educational quality, give it a try.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">There\'s quite a lot to consider, so you\'ll need to give it some focused attention during a quiet moment – like now perhaps.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">Benefits of playing</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Playing the game is a good exercise in getting a sense of the big picture facing policy makers. For teachers, parents and students, the game highlights how decisions far removed from the school have real meaning for our classrooms. For the researchers, though, every time someone plays, more data is available to understand what we have to say.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\"><a href=\"http://meg.ibankstory.com\">The MinEd game</a> can be played in Thai or English, so you could get your students, your students\' parents, and the other teachers in your school to play it too! When the game is finished, there are some questions about you – privacy is guaranteed, and the answers help to classify the data effectively. There are already some interesting findings, and with enough respondents, Richard may have results that the Education Minister will want to pay attention to.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a>\r\n	<span>in Bangkok.</span></p>',NULL,'2018-08-15 17:39:47',1,'2018-08-15 17:35:33','2018-08-15 17:39:52'),(32322,90,'Things I admire about the Thai education system','things-i-admire-about-thai-education-system','Foreign teachers shouldn\'t knock it as much as they do.','Some teachers like to put the boot into Thai high schools - but I’ve recently been looking at it in a new light and have seen lots of positives.','<p>Without a doubt the Thai education system is underrated by some foreigners.

During the recent World Cup a lot of my friends didn’t know the words to their own anthem and most English people (myself included) wouldn’t have a clue what the words are in all six verses of our anthem. Thankfully all Thai people know their anthem and are proud to sing it.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Being from the UK I’m used to the idea of a royal family and personally I think they do a great job for our country. You can’t deny that Thai people love their royal family and it’s great that schools encourage this culture and teach the history of the monarchy. I wish we had been taught more in the UK about our royal family.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Discipline</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Thai teachers can keep a class in order. The students do exactly what the teachers say and discipline isn’t usually a problem. With 50 students in a class discipline is important and I would love to learn more from Thai teachers about how to control classes that size.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://people.howstuffworks.com/us-public-schools-are-suspending-millions-students-little-reward.htm\"><span><span>Suspension and expulsion rates</span></span></a><span><span>&nbsp;in American&nbsp;</span></span><span><span>and&nbsp;</span></span><a href=\"http://theconversation.com/are-we-expelling-too-many-children-from-australian-schools-65162\"><span><span>Australian schools</span></span></a><span><span>&nbsp;</span></span><span><span>are shockingly high. Whilst I couldn’t find any official statistics about suspensions and expulsions in Thai schools I did ask a few Thai students and they only knew of a handful of cases from their institutes. This could show that students are well disciplined or teachers are empathetic towards student’s issues.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Community</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Thai students create a real community at their schools. There is a feeling that everyone cares about their school and the people inside it.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>Just look at how people who went to the same school greet each other when finding out they have this thing in common. They all have their class year and like to talk about their school.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The Thai education system promotes a sense of voluntarism whereby students help out around the school without the expectation of getting anything back. The schools know they can rely on students to help with events, planning and project work. These are all great skills the students can use later in their lives.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>Schools also act as a place in the community. On special occasions, such as Mothers Day, outside guests are welcomed in to take part in ceremonies. Foreign teachers are also made to feel welcomed with an emphasis on students helping foreign teachers and co-workers assisting too.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Letting students pass</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>A lot of foreigners complain about having to let students pass every exam. The problem is this isn’t exactly true, a lot of Thai students have to re-study certain subjects again but in English classes there is probably less pressure to do so.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>In the end if a student is allowed to pass your English class without being good enough, is that really a problem? Many successful Thai people have achieved a lot without having to speak English. Is English more important than science or maths in Thailand? Probably not for most people. What is the point of making a student take a test on the past perfect continuous twenty times if they are never going to need it?</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Personally I think education is not always a link to success in the future. Quite a few of my Thai friends are successful despite not doing well at school and struggling in many subjects. In the UK there is a focus of revising and passing all your exams and going to university to get a great job. Here the education system focuses much more on practical skills which are needed in daily life rather than just theoretical knowledge.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Exams</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>Seeing progress is a great thing and by having lots of small tests during the year allows Thai students and their teachers to see how they are doing.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>These tests help teachers to see weaknesses in learners and help them improve. In systems with testing every year or two, it can take longer to spot learner problems. Having exams also helps students to prepare for life outside of school by having to deal with deadlines. The issue most foreigners have with testing in Thai schools is that they have to write and mark the tests and that can be a lot of work…&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Activities</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>Something which you have to love about the Thai education system is how it encourages students to do so many different activities. In the UK there are options to do activities but they are normally voluntary and people don’t care about them. Here in Thailand it’s quite the opposite.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Students will be given time off regular classes to take part in special events and activities. This could be preparing for a dance recital or doing something for Scouts day. It’s great that the students aren’t restricted and in many ways are encouraged to do things.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>I also love that the Thai system encourages people to support others doing events. Sports day, music performances and shows are all well supported with hundreds of students watching.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/nov/08/girls-engaging-school-sports-solution\"><span>A recent report in the Guardian</span></a><span>&nbsp;</span><span><span>highlighted that girls are less interested in sports at school than boys. Thailand does a great job of encouraging girls to join in sports activities in school. I remember in the UK our PE classes were always split between boys and girls. Boys would play football or rugby and girls would play netball or rounders. The Thai education has set up school sports that boys and girls play sports together such as badminton or volleyball. It really is an example of how sport can bring people together.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span><span>Rote learning</span></span>\r\n</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Rote learning is something which is missing from many education systems. There is nothing wrong with rote learning in certain situations – <a href=\"https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/10111285/Rote-learning-is-fine-theres-just-too-much-stuff-to-teach.html\">some UK headmasters even talk of its benefits</a>\r\n	<span>and so it’s good to see that Thailand uses this useful learning tool.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Thai students are great at giving out facts and information which they have learned in class. As a teacher, it is great to feed students knowledge this way.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Thai teachers</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>I’m pretty sure we all saw&nbsp;</span></span><a href=\"http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30350195\"><span><span>the reports of Thai teachers in debt</span></span></a><span><span>&nbsp;</span></span><span><span>and the equally sad story of a Thai teacher&nbsp;</span></span><span><span><a href=\"http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30350821\">who acted as a guarantor on student loans for 60 students</a>. &nbsp;</span></span><span><span>These stories highlight two key things about Thai teachers. Firstly, they are underpaid and secondly they care a great deal about their students.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The average UK salary is roughly £27,500 per year.&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.prospects.ac.uk/jobs-and-work-experience/job-sectors/teacher-training-and-education/how-much-do-teachers-get-paid\"><span>This article&nbsp;</span><span><span>shows UK teacher salaries</span></span></a><span><span>&nbsp;- and after a year most teachers will be earning roughly the average UK salary. Despite this, there are&nbsp;</span></span><a href=\"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-43604858\"><span><span>calls for a strike later this year over pay</span></span></a><span><span>. Thai teachers obviously face hardships and lower than average pay but you don’t hear them threatening to walk out of the classroom.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In fact most foreign teachers in Thailand are paid more than local Thai teachers despise being less qualified. I think it is a testament to these Thai teachers that they accept this in such good grace.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>You will also see the great deal of respect Thai teachers get from their students, they must be doing something right! Well they do a lot of good things, They always put effort in and try their best for their students. Many years after finishing school students still greatly respect their teachers and a lot stay in contact with them.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h3><span>Why Knock the Thai Education System?</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>It’s interesting to note that like many things that are different in Thailand than The West, the education system gets knocked by many foreigners. Just because it isn’t the same doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Ask many Thais about their opinion of high school and they will likely be positive about it. &nbsp;A lot of my Thai friends say their high school years were the best of their lives!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>The key point is that most of the complaints about the Thai education system come from foreign teachers working in these schools.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>Foreign teachers complain about the lack of air-conditioning and computers in every room or that students have to be tested too much. For a lot of Thai students this isn’t really an issue. The overall sense of community and bonds with classmates make high school a great time for Thai students.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><span>They have an education system which deserves far more respect from those who knock it.&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Speak, make mistakes, be embarrassed, humiliated and come out of the process much, much stronger.','<p>Over the 15+ years I have been speaking Thai, the question and consequent conversation I have had most often in Thailand is how I learnt Thai and how I can speak Thai so naturally and sound like I am Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I addressed this question <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/hot-seat/stephen-saad\">in the interview I did for Phil on this site</a> and also in both of my ‘100 Thai words’ books but I thought it would be helpful to explain it again using some examples from my life. And at the same time, I will comment on where people go wrong when trying to learn Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Note: When I refer to “people”, I mean expats / foreigners / Westerners / farangs but I did not want to use any of those labels as they all have their shortcomings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Wanting to learn Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When I first came to Thailand, having been hired in the UK and flown over here, I had already spent countless hours studying my two books – <em>Essential Thai</em> by James Higbie and <em>Teach Yourself Thai&nbsp;</em>(the old version) by David Smyth - and cross-referencing them. I had the excitement that I was going to move to Thailand and the interest and drive to start learning Thai in advance.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Why do I mention the above? Because, if most people are honest with themselves, they do not really <em>want</em> to learn Thai. While many people will protest at this, their actions speak far louder than their protests. They say they want to learn Thai but when you ask them for more detail on what they have done to learn, they give a list of piecemeal efforts such as online sites, getting a tutor and so on and so on but each one is a half-hearted effort and there is no consistent, concerted and sustained effort to learn.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And while I am on this, let me cover off something I have mentioned before on using Thai personal tuition. I think many people use this option as an alternative to doing any hard work – just turn up (or turn Skype on) and repeat after the teacher and forget 70% of what was taught by the time of the next lesson.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many companies send their employees to this kind of tuition and invariably, the student learns hardly anything by the end of the course that stays with them six months or a year later, especially if the employee works in an English-speaking environment in Bangkok or any other big city. As I have said before, tuition is best taken on when the learner is already at basic level from his or her own hard work and is mentally invested enough in Thailand and learning Thai, for the lessons to be worthwhile.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lesson after lesson spent mispronouncing tones and having them corrected is not productive!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Listening to Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>When I got to my new office, I knew two or three Thai employees from when they had come over to the UK office but nobody else. The Thais I already knew spoke good English and I had always spoken in English with them in the UK office on their business trips. The rest of the employees in the Thai office would (obviously) all talk in Thai with each other, in meetings and also with the English boss (who had been in Thailand for decades and spoke perfect Thai).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I turned up, they offered to switch to English in meetings for my benefit but I declined and asked them to carry on in Thai and assured them that over time I would pick it up. And I did. In two years I was fluent.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second example of listening I remember (from over 15 years ago now) was during my time sitting next to the sales guy in my team. He would often use the expression “rian săai Khun…” and it would constantly bug me that the first word sounded like the word for ‘to study’ or ‘to learn’. So one day I asked the guy about it (in broken Thai / English) and learnt that it basically means “Can I please speak to…” (note: ‘săai’ means ‘line’, as in telephone line in this context) and also means “Dear” in written communication, as in “Dear Mr…”.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And from memory, that was one of dozens of questions on Thai I had for that sales guy over the three years we worked together and sitting next to each other.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Why do I mention these examples? Most people do not listen. They hear but they do not listen – and there\'s a big difference.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is plenty of Thai being spoken around them, even at English language schools, not to mention their life outside work but they simply do not listen. Why? The uncomfortable truth is that they really do not care. We are back to the first point I made above – most people do not actually want to learn Thai. If they are truly honest with themselves, they do not want to do the hard work required to learn a difficult tonal language, especially if they are here for a couple of years teaching English amongst Thais who are used to working with English speaking people.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is why they hear Thai but do not listen and so they just hear noise, not words spoken in Thai. The reality is these people have already heard many Thai words but they are not paying any attention and so these words are never logged in the brain and therefore, they do not pick up on these words when spoken by others on a sky-train, for example. Therefore, they cannot extrapolate and guess even a phrase or a sentence in a conversation being spoken around them.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I should, at this point, make it crystal clear that by no means am I judging or criticising those people who do the above and not want to learn Thai or not listen. It is perfectly understandable from their point of view. Thai is a difficult language to learn – do not let anyone trot out the complete garbage about the simple grammar making it an easy language to learn – and for many people, especially those who are a bit on the older side, learning a new and tricky language is a nightmare. And for many, it is simply not necessary if they can survive in English and plan to move on to another Asian city in a few years anyway.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What I do have a problem with however, are the delusional and disingenuous people who claim that they have tried to learn Thai but can’t understand why they don’t make progress. These people have a look on their face as if I have performed some kind of miracle when I am speaking Thai fluently and I am always at pains to tell them that I am not a linguist and I have no God given talent – I just tried…and I listened.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The number of times I have heard an English person hear a Thai word or repeat a Thai word I have just said to them and reproduce it in a monotone English accent!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Speaking Thai</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>And that leads me to my third point that gets my blood boiling more than both of the above points.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When I learnt Thai, the most consistent thing I did was attempt to actually speak Thai. More to the point, it was not a case of blindly just blurting out any old awful sounding Thai and thinking I had done well and congratulating myself on making an effort. I practised active speaking by which I mean, I spoke, I checked the facial expression of the Thai person I was speaking to for an indication of how well or badly I had executed the phrase or sentence. I asked for feedback (which sometimes led to more confusion) and I wrote down, at the first opportunity, what I had learnt from the interaction.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In contrast, there are many people who spend all their time learning to read instead of speaking – often because they have heard that the only way to learn Thai is to learn to read, which is not quite correct – and never actually going out and speaking.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Learning to read in the comfort of their home where they will not be criticised or ridiculed or receive confused looks or be in an awkward social situation is an easy cop-out. When these people go out in Thailand and do speak Thai, they often speak awful Thai and to make matters worse, they often <em>think</em> they are speaking decent Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There is a big crossover between these people and the people who write theses online on the finer points of Thai grammar; they are intellectuals and like most intellectuals, have an unjustified high opinion of themselves and little self-awareness and ability to communicate naturally.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Some of the best Thai speakers I know and know of have learnt Thai in very similar ways to myself – hard work, listening, speaking, jotting down, memorising and repeating ad nauseam.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These people are often married to a Thai spouse, been in Thailand for a length of time in an environment where the vast majority of people do not speak good English and they have learnt by listening and speaking.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I once knew the husband of a Thai convenience store owner who was Italian, I think, and he spoke truly amazing Thai – he sounded exactly like Thai people speaking Thai. Finally, if any further evidence was needed, probably the most famous foreign Thai speaker, Adam Bradshaw, learnt Thai in a similar way to my method above. He discusses it in the interview he did for Catherine Wentworth’s site: womenlearnthai.com.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To emphasise the points above further, imagine learning to swim – I cannot swim and have ‘tried’ a couple of times in my life since leaving school where the experience of swimming lessons probably put me off swimming for life. If I am honest with myself, both of my attempts to learn as an adult were half-hearted and I gave up after a couple of lessons each time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, at least I did not try to learn to swim by watching a lot of Youtube videos on how to swim and reading books on it and so on.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The best way to learn to swim is to get in the pool and learn to swim. The discomfort of being off balance, chlorinated water up your nose and all the rest is part of the learning curve and if I had carried on with the lessons, I may have finally learnt.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Summary</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My advice to anyone wanting to learn Thai would be to do the opposite of what a foreign Thai language intellectual advises. First, ask yourself if you really want to learn Thai. Don’t kid yourself and if the answer is no, don’t beat yourself up over it during your stay in Thailand. Admit you don’t want to learn and be happy to pick up a word or two every now and then.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Second, if your answer to the first question was genuinely yes, start listening …... and that means really, really listening to every single piece of Thai you come across. For example, the automated instructions you hear on the skytrain connected with holding onto the strap, the next station, don’t lean against the handrail and so on. You hear it every day but how many of the words do you know in Thai and would you recognise when spoken in a different context?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Third, stop obsessing on the finer points of Thai grammar if you cannot speak decent basic Thai yet. Learning to read is, of course, good but it is not critical to being able to speak and is certainly not a substitute for being brave enough to face Thai people and hold a conversation (in Thai!). Just an in English, and probably any language, book Thai and spoken Thai are quite different.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have spent months and months learning to read (and even more misguidedly, to write) and reproduce your hard-learned, staccato, awkward, overly formal Thai (and still told by Thai people that you speak good Thai, which they would say if you can say more than hello!), you need to stop!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Get out there and listen and you will hear real Thai. Speak, make mistakes, be embarrassed, humiliated and come out of the process much, much stronger. To speak Thai naturally, stop being an academic and mix with Thai people in non-customer / enquirer contexts and you will speak fantastic Thai over time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The final point worth mentioning is the difficulty most people have with the tones. Just like with learning to swim, where you will feel self-conscious, speaking in a tonal language will push you out of your comfort zone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You will <em>not&nbsp;</em>get away with mumbling or half-attempting the tones or even worse, speaking in a default mid-tone. It might be embarrassing, at first, to attempt the falling tone but you have to get out of your English speaking mentality and think in Thai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Best of luck! &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Stephen is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

This was the case with 3/6, with whom, despite their being a rowdy bunch of kids, I had some kind of connection.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The door was usually open and they could see me approaching as I left the stairwell on the second floor, and ambled towards them. But one day the door was closed and as I got closer I could hear a male Thai voice bellowing out instructions, so I decided to wait outside until this lesson ended.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Except it didn’t end.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was due to start teaching 3/6 at 15:00. By 15:10 the previous lesson was still in full flow. At this point I decided to make my presence known with a loud knock on the door. The lesson continued and, if anything, his voice was even louder. I waited five more minutes and knocked again, but this time I also opened the door and was met with a sea of rather fearful faces – as if warning me of my impending doom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I walked in and smiled at the 50-something Thai teacher, who was a pretty big guy. He sneered at me and returned to the whiteboard. Feeling rather non-plussed I retreated and waited politely outside.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Eventually he packed up and left, but as he walked passed me there wasn’t an ounce of recognition, let alone an apology. I re-entered the room and could sense the relief on the faces of my poor students. I looked at my watch and realised that this oaf had stolen a good half hour of my lesson; by the time I had explained today’s task, the bloody thing was over.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The class explained to me that this teacher was considered to be a bully by all of the students, and even some of his peers. He also had little time for foreign teachers, especially middle-aged bald ones such as yours truly.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I spoke to Ajarn Kwan and Wannee about this problem and they both gave the same answer: ‘This man is very stubborn Phil, and he doesn’t like foreign teachers.’ They offered little in the way of help. I was pretty much left to deal with this dilemma alone.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was learning that Thai people do not like confrontation and will usually do what they can to avoid them. I had no issue with this, but was mindful that I couldn’t go around upsetting other teachers; this was not my stamping ground. I was here to help, not to make enemies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The next week it was a repeat performance, and I could sense that he was getting some small pleasure out of the whole thing. So I decided to do something about it. I spoke to Ajarn Kwan and told him that I was thinking</p>\r\n\r\n<p>about helping the Thai teachers with their English. I would come 5 or 6 minutes early to my classes, and if the Thai teacher was happy with this arrangement, I would include them in my English lessons and hopefully they would get something positive from this experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He agreed, and by the end of the week Kwan had told all of the Thai teachers who taught directly before me that I was hoping to include them in my English lessons.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But another Thai trait is their absolute fear of losing face – teachers were especially known for this. I figured that if he held the English language in such disdain it probably stemmed from a fear of the unknown, and I guessed that he would definitely not want to appear to know less than the very students he’d been berating just a few minutes earlier.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My plan had an amazing effect, because the next time I went to teach 3/6, the big man was nowhere to be seen. &nbsp;In fact, I never saw him in the classroom again. I’d had a minor win, and was really pleased that it hadn’t resorted to a more basic ending.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The only downside was that about seven of the teachers were more than happy to be included in my lessons, and this created a lot more work on my behalf.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You win some, you lose more? &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks for reading my words and if you’re interested in my book, <a href=\"https://www.asiabooks.com/bangkok-to-ben-nevis-backwards-a-journey-through-dementia-from-england-to-scot-220018.html\">it is now available from Asia Books in shops all over Thailand</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>was lucky enough to teach at a government school in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

Debts, Dementia, poorly planned emigration, self discovery, family bonding and attempted murder are all part of the highs and lows of this 18-month true tale.

The real-world skills you’ll learn will be useful. The friends you make will help you through the tough times and lifetime bonds can be forged','<p>I did a little three-month trip after I finished university but never did the whole year. Maybe I wasn’t adventurous enough and also I think it was just too expensive for me. However, l<span>ooking back at it, I think coming to work in Thailand for a year would have been the ultimate gap year experience.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span><strong>Money</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The main reason I did just a three-month trip was that I didn’t have enough money to do more. I would have loved to have visited more places and gained more experience.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Most gap year teachers in Thailand will probably work for an agency at a government high school. The 30-40,000 baht a month would have made a huge difference to me and I think it would make a gap year great.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In general, if you’re planning to come here for a teaching gap year, you can get by and have a little trip every month based on your salary. If you plan to travel frequently then maybe budget to have an extra $200-400 a month saved before you arrive.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Like-minded people</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Imagine coming from your country and arriving on the first day of your initiation to find a whole room full of people on the same journey. I can only imagine the energy and excitement on that first day! &nbsp;</span>The chance to meet people from all around the world with whom you can meet up with and exchange ideas and advice. It would be a great networking opportunity.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>You will be placed at your school with at least one other foreign teacher from your agency but more likely there will be a small group of you together. This means planning weekend trips and dealing with life in a new country is much easier than you would think.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the huge number of tourists in Thailand you will meet others - whether it is just for a few days on your trip or other foreigners who live near you.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Location, location, location</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Some schools are by the beach, some are in the city, while others are in the countryside. All have their positives and negatives. Sometimes your agency will let you choose a location, sometimes you will get given a random location.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Many people dream of being by the beach but wherever you end up working, you will have an interesting environment and nearby places to explore. Transport in Thailand is pretty good. so even if you fancy a weekend by the beach, it isn’t hard to get there.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Work / travel balance</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Some people worry that they will spend a lot of time working whilst on their teaching gap year in Thailand but that isn’t really the case.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>21 hours a week is the most you’ll have to teach and with set working days and term times, it is simple to plan your travel time. You will have office hours for sure but you can use these to do admin and planning for trips away! By most days you’ll be home at 4.15pm and ready to enjoy the amazing sunsets and food that Thailand has to offer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Teaching in Thailand</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Perhaps you’re nervous about teaching in Thailand. The good thing is you will get training and most people who work in a school for their gap year really enjoy their work!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most agencies will put on a training and induction weekend for their new teachers. These sessions will give you ideas on how to teach, cultural issues and travel tips. For those who want to do more teacher training before arriving have a look at <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/tefl-tesol-training-courses\">the teacher training guides on Ajarn.com</a>.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>A lot of times the students will be super excited to see foreign teachers. Some schools find it difficult to get foreign teachers so they will really appreciate you being there. You will get to do a wide range of activities and might be asked to take part in shows, sports events or school trips. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your agency or school will normally provide you with what to teach and you can create your own lessons and develop as a teacher over time. The good news is your agency will always be there to support you as they want you to enjoy your time in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Real world skills</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Teaching in Thailand for a year will give you so many real-world skills which employers will love. Working in a foreign country is great for your CV because it shows your flexibility, understanding of other cultures and possibly the ability to speak a foreign language.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Teaching also promotes a number of skills which are useful in many other jobs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Firstly you will have to do a lot of admin work on your teaching gap year and using photocopiers, fixing the printer and writing reports are all things you will need to do in any office job. You’ll fill in spreadsheets and create posters which are useful skills to have. Teaching in front of 50 students is also a great public speaking experience for you.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>An important part of teaching is planning. Planning is a transferable skill which can be used in many professions. Creating lesson plans and a syllabus will put you in good stead for your future job.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Nine or ten month contracts&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Whilst you are in Thailand for a year it’s important to note that many schools are only open for 9 or 10 months a year. This means plenty of time for you to travel - a key part of your gap year!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A lot of full-time teachers in Thailand complain about 9 or 10 month contracts. Basically some schools don’t pay you whilst you’re on term breaks so check this out with your agency first to find out what the deal is. For these full time teachers, they miss out on money but as a gap year student you’ll already have savings put aside for your trip to help you get through these unpaid months (if your school doesn’t pay).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Thailand - the country</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Thailand is an amazing place to visit. On a standard tourist visa you won’t have enough time to see everything. With a teaching gap year you’ll have a one year visa and enough time to see all Thailand has to offer.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand is also a great hub for South East Asia. It is so simple to visit other neighboring countries so don’t worry that you’ll miss out on these places by working in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Thailand for gap year teachers</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>A year spent teaching here in Thailand can be a valuable experience. The real-world skills you’ll learn will be useful. The friends you make will help you through the tough times and lifetime bonds can be forged. The chance to see real Thai towns and villages off the tourist trail will show you what the country is really like.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Overall I think if you’re planning on coming here for a year to teach you won’t be disappointed!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I knew that before I moved here and I certainly found the lower cost of living and the country\'s close proximity to beautiful places like Vietnam and Cambodia very appealing, in addition to Thailand’s own splendor.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Having lived here for almost two years, I\'m already eternally grateful to all the wonderful people I\'ve met, as well as for all the exotic locations I\'ve visited so far.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One thing I\'d like to point out here, however, is that not everything is cheap in the Land of Smiles. Expenses can add up, especially if you get sick or injured, and need to see a private doctor. That is why I strongly recommend buying teacher\'s health insurance to protect yourself, your family, and your finances while you\'re here.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>So, without further ado, here are 5 questions to ask when buying&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">Thai health insurance</a><span>.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>1. Does my employer provide Thai health insurance?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nowadays, more and more schools in Thailand only provide medical insurance to teachers that stay long-term. Many teachers I\'ve met did not receive any health cover until they passed their one-year contract.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For new teaching staff, schools will instead provide a stipend. This could add even more stress to the new school year, as it means you will need to find a Thai health insurance plan on your own. The earlier you are aware of this, the better, as you\'ll have more time to find a plan that works for your needs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>2. What benefits do I need?&nbsp;</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Anyone who\'s looked for health insurance will know that plans sold from different <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>insurers</span></a> can be worlds apart from each other in terms of the benefits they provide.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The cheapest plans might only cover the cost of overnight hospital care, whereas higher level health insurance plans feature benefits for things like private GP and specialist visits, and sometimes even pregnancy and dental care at the most luxurious hospitals.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Because of this, it\'s a good idea to jot down or at least have in mind the types of benefits you need before hunting for medical insurance. Of course, the right plan for you will depend on your healthcare needs, but in my experience expats here will usually look for a health insurance plan that comes with all or some of these features:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Worldwide or Southeast Asia coverage</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Outpatient benefits (e.g. GP visits)&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Vaccination benefits</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Health check-up cover</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/maternity-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\"><span>Pregnancy benefits</span></a></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Dental treatment coverage</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Benefits for pre-existing conditions</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>3. If I\'m sick or injured in another country, will my plan cover me?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Sure, some expats who move here spend most of their time in Thailand, and rarely leave the country. However, most expats - teachers and otherwise - travel frequently in Southeast Asia or further afield.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If this is the case for you, you might want to look for Thai health insurance that not only protects you in the Land of Smiles, but also in the wider Southeast Asia region. Southeast Asia plans are very popular among expat teachers in Thailand, as it covers care both locally and in popular nearby destinations like Indonesia, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Compared to plans that come with worldwide coverage, Southeast Asia health plans are cheaper, but it\'s worth keeping in mind that they don\'t usually cover care in more expensive countries like Singapore.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>4. Do I have pre-existing medical issues?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In other words, do you have any medical conditions or injuries that you currently or previously received treatment for?&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Insurance companies are reluctant to cover pre-existing ailments, simply because people are far more likely to need treatment for these conditions, which poses a higher financial risk to insurers. As such, if you suffer from, say, high blood pressure, your medical insurance may exclude treatments for heart attack and stroke.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Fortunately, some insurers will allow coverage for pre-existing medical issues, but there\'s most likely going to be a catch. For example, you might need to pay more for your plan, or wait a certain amount of time before you can access any benefits related to such medical issues.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>5. Is the insurer reliable?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In order to find the best value Thai health insurance, you\'re going to need to find the perfect balance between benefits and cost. It is understandably very tempting to buy the cheapest plan available, but as the saying goes, \"You get what you pay for\".&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The cheapest plans are likely not conducive to the best benefits, or the most reliable insurer. The insurer\'s reputation is a very important thing to keep in mind when shopping for medical insurance, as choosing a plan from a reliable insurer can make all the difference when it comes time to deal with things like customer services and submitting claims.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If you have any more questions about finding the right Thai health insurance, please don\'t hesitate to&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us\">get in touch</a><span>&nbsp;with me or a member of our&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/\">Pacific Prime Thailand</a><span>&nbsp;team.</span></p>',NULL,'2018-09-05 20:30:23',1,'2018-09-05 20:27:54','2018-09-27 17:23:45'),(32328,104,'A blissful situation','blissful-situation','Building the home of my dreams in Thailand','The bungalow will consist of two bedrooms, one en-suite, the main bathroom, a kitchen, and a decent sized living/dining room.

A cool and almost constant breeze generating from the Andaman Sea.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Located a fifteen-minute drive from the historical costal railway town of Hua Hin, and about half that distance from the sandy beach and salty sea. To put you in the frame there are two and a half rai to the acre, so a rai is about two fifths of an acre. A good-sized lot, In the UK they build five, four-bedroom houses on less!&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">For just under a million baht, even with a limping pathetically weak pound, that\'s a meagre twenty-two thousand pounds. That wouldn\'t get you an allotment (vegetable patch) in my home town, Hull in Lincolnshire. Former World\'s strongest man Geoff Capes would be turning green if he knew and possibly advertising a well-known sweetcorn.</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Nahm and her parents</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Within the next few sun shiny months, whenever the house has been completed on the plot, my girlfriend and I will be taking our Buddhist vows. Her nickname\'s Nahm (water) and she\'s a local girl whose family have lived here since just after World War Two. &nbsp;\r\n	<br>&nbsp;\r\n	<br>Nahm\'s great grandparents came over from China to carve out a new life for themselves. It couldn\'t have been easy they literally came to do the lowest forms of work, those occupations that the Thais didn\'t fancy doing. Pretty much the same then, as the Burmese, Laotians, and Cambodians who are in Thailand, do now - low paid immigrants. The couple dug ditches, mucked out farm animals, and survived on a diet of red grain rice, the least nutritious, the one the government gives to prisoners here today.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Somehow out of subsistent wages the tight-fisted twosome manages to save, initially as little as a few baht a month. Finally, after many years of sleeping rough on the beach the industrious pair had acquired enough to obtain their own small field to sleep in, and build a modest shelter out of bamboo. For the first two years this undaunted duo slept directly on the ground, until the patient partners could afford to purchase some form of floor boarding. &nbsp;\r\n	<br>&nbsp;\r\n	<br>Seventy or so odd years on, the present generation have done alright, with a small farm and a few basic renter homes a short stroll from their forefather\'s mattress - the beach. They aren\'t rich, still the family are comfortable middle-class. They\'re typical Chinese-Thai - hardworking, enterprising, frugal, proud, and strictly loyal to their own and only their own. It\'s reckoned that today, the Chinese-Thais own as much 70 percent of the entire country. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Nahm\'s the girl for me</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Nahm isn\'t a looker. I wouldn\'t have wanted a girl who was. She\'s very down to earth, grounded, her expectations of life remain reasonable. She wouldn\'t mind having a child but feels two children would be one too many on our salaries. I\'m a teacher at Hua Hin\'s so called international school. It isn\'t affiliated with a school in a western country.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nahm is the youngest ward sister at the San Paolo Hospital. My friend was an inpatient on her ward after his appendix burst. I went to visit him on three consecutive afternoons, yet he knew I was only there on a pretext. I had to ask her out three times before she\'d accept and only then if her brother could chaperone.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nahm believes men are stronger than women and it\'s a man\'s place to make the decisions. That suits me just fine, I\'ve always wanted a girl who was happy to toe the line. Even though Nahm\'s almost twenty-seven years of age, I\'m her first real boyfriend and that\'s something else I like about her. Who said it\'s the one\'s that resist that we most want to kiss. For me the sexiest part of a woman\'s body is undoubtedly her face. Nahm doesn\'t laugh all that often, though when she does, she lights up the town - she literally beams. To me she\'s just what an English girl isn\'t and she\'s exactly what I was looking for when I came out here. &nbsp;\r\n	<br>&nbsp;\r\n	<br>I\'ve been in contact with a capable and reliable builder with the help of my future father-in-law who can speak a little English. His quote is 13,000 baht a square meter to get the roof on, sanitary ware and kitchen units will be extra. The bungalow will consist of two bedrooms, one en-suite, the main bathroom, a kitchen, and a decent sized living/dining room. It will be 150 square meters including a carport, and should work out at 2,200,000 baht; 50,000 pounds.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>House build</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Admittedly the quality of the building will be substandard compared to the UK\'s. To start with it\'ll only be one wall thick, concrete institute of reinforced steel and the integral parts of the wall will only be rendered the same as the external parts. In Thailand they call this 90 percent build and its basically on a par with Spanish and Portuguese villas. Homes in hot climates don\'t require the same insulation and durability that houses in harsher climates require. &nbsp;\r\n	<br>&nbsp;\r\n	<br>Of course, it doesn\'t stop there. We\'ll need to furnish our abode. spend some cash on the garden, a few more trees to start and a surrounding wall. Also we are going to have a well excavated and install a pump that\'ll be man enough to supply the bungalow. Another extra is four large solar panels, which will hopefully in time make us self-sufficient for electricity as well.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To begin with we have to go on to the government\'s grid, there\'s a process of elimination and some give and take, it\'ll take a few years. Namh\'s parents are paying for all the aforementioned extras instead of providing the land - which is either a Chinese or a recent family tradition. These extras come to the approximately half the value of the plot I bought.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, I didn\'t want to have a home built on land that\'d been the in-laws it wouldn\'t have felt as if it were ever mine. The family weren\'t too happy with this, it\'s been our only head to head nonetheless I forced my heels in deep with respect and point-blank refused.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One other plus is that there\'s no property tax in Thailand on property under fifty million baht. That\'s about eleven hundred thousand pounds so no fears for me there either.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Enjoying my free time</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I finished teaching at my school at four o\'clock this afternoon. Then rode my motorcycle from Hua Hin in the blazing sunshine down a long straight section of the Petchkasem Road - past homes, shops, malls, hotels, resorts, theme parks, condominiums, amidst a constant avenue of swaying palm trees - here to Cha Am beach. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Right now, I\'m relaxing with a large milky carton of coffee, a copy of the Nation (English language newspaper) sitting on a blue and orange stripped deckchair under a bunched-up group of multi-pastel coloured umbrellas.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">After a relatively hard day\'s teaching, my grade 5\'s can be quite demanding - \'they hath run me ragged, once again\'. They always have more questions than I have answers.&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">I like to take off my shoes off and dig my feet deep into the soft sand, where it is cooler and damp. I come here most days at around this time to watch and to listen to the uninterrupted movements of the sea and feel it\'s refreshing breeze - it\'s the perfect way to unwind. &nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yesterday September 5, was Nahm\'s birthday, although she\'d already told me not to get her anything as she wants me to save my baht for our home. All the same, I insisted that I would take her for an expensive meal if we could find a residing restaurant that would charge us more than 500 baht (£12), all joking apart we could never have eaten that much food. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yesterday evening, we went to Water Lotus 3, a lakeside restaurant a few kilometres from each of our homes - a central position. It was a typical warm relaxed shadowy evening with a soothing breeze rippling the freshwater and rustling the elegant tall trees around its margins. We sat on antique wooden seats enclosed within a traditional antique wooden sala (Thai style gazebo) hidden from the glare of a depleting moon.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We spoke about our future, our plans, our intentions and as we did so, we copped small needed pieces of bread into the gawping mouths of huge tubtim (freshwater fish.) Nahm was comically imitating the fish, pulling faces, pretending to swim and jump to catch bread. Then she began squeezing each side of my face with the tips of her fingers and thumbs to give me a fish face while teaching me how to pronounce the Thai word for fish, \'plaa\' - the inexhaustible fun loving &nbsp;Thai people.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">We ordered a buffet selection of tom yam gung (prawns, straw mushrooms, lemongrass, ginger, and kaffir, in a rich creamy sauce) Nahm\'s favourite dish. A Thai omelette, fried chicken wings, vegetables in oyster sauce and steamed rice - Nahm drank iced water and I had a small bottle of beer Loa. There\'d been enough change back out of a 500 baht note to pause and get some gasohol for my motorcycle on the short round trip to our homes.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span lang=\"en-GB\">Here on the sand, drifting between scanning articles, sipping dairy diluted caffeine and recalling the events of the previous night. Whenever I\'d looked at Nahm she had been smiling all over her lovely face, wearing a pure white simple silk sarong contrasting with her soft subtly tanned skin, iridescent beneath the lantern lights and I honestly wondered to myself just how I\'d come to be here - in this blissful situation. &nbsp;</span></p>',NULL,'2018-09-06 17:23:23',1,'2018-09-06 10:09:01','2018-09-08 15:08:16'),(32329,95,'Classroom management muscle','kindergarten-cop-2','Lessons from Arnie in Kindergarten Cop','Let us spend this blog investigating the question of classroom management. To do so, I\'d like to use a visual example from a movie, something we can all relate to in some way.','<p lang=\"en\">The impressive number of interesting, insightful and sometimes fiery responses to <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/mark-brown/discipline-in-the-classroom\">Mark Brown\'s 800-pound gorilla blog</a> give some idea of how the topic of student discipline can really get the hearts of the Ajarn community\'s teachers pumping.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">This question of how to control students\' behavior in the classroom is something that seems to be close to a pedagogical obsession.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">A teacher\'s Achilles heel</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">When you do come across a teacher who finds control to be \'no problem\', they are actually quite awe-inspiring. How on earth do they do it? Is there a trick? What is it? As a teacher trainer, I think I\'m supposed to have that answer, so when I\'m invited to do a training workshop at a school the topic of choice is inevitably some variation of this intractable problem.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">I have two opinions on classroom management. Firstly, I don\'t think that it is one unitary \'thing\'. It\'s far too complex and encompasses too many other aspects of the classroom. Tessa Woodward, <a href=\"https://books.google.co.th/books/about/Models_and_Metaphors_in_Language_Teacher.html?id=ZdZiAAAAMAAJ&amp;redir_esc=y&amp;hl=en\">in the chapter on classroom management in this book</a> presents a list of &nbsp;practical skills which might together comprise classroom management: attracting attention, starting the lesson, dealing with space, praising, thanking, dealing with late-comers, asking people to do things, predicting what\'s coming next, and so on.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">It\'s a long list, and Tessa\'s is probably not complete. The upshot? A teacher needs a lot of skills to manage a group of 35 (50? 60?) (young Thai) students. What skills?</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Secondly, I don\'t believe that there is any teacher that actually \'has it\' when it comes to classroom management. Teachers who are good at managing their classes are always playing around with techniques, trying new ideas and abandoning old ones. They\'ll be quick to tell you there isn\'t \'a way\' when it comes to managing classes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Let us spend this blog investigating the question of classroom management. To do so, I\'d like to use a visual example from a movie, something we can all relate to in some way. Before starting, I freely concede that the example I\'ve used here is a parody, it\'s out of date, and probably not totally relevant to the world of English language teaching, but what the hell, it\'ll do the trick. Ready?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">Arnold\'s classroom</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Kingergarten Cop: muscle-machine Arnold is a stereotypical bad-ass killing machine who scares the living daylights out of drug lords and street gangs, but is outclassed by a group of 15 pre-school kiddies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">If you haven\'t seen the movie, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMQADg1Dp9g&amp;t=14s\">here\'s Arnie\'s first encounter with his class</a>. It\'s a disaster. He goes back to his hotel, collapses in a jumbled heap and skips the gym. As teachers, we smirk, but also sympathize: a class that isn\'t going well can feel like it\'s never going to end, and when it does it leaves you drained and depressed. Arnie\'s response – <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1JgMM8b9_w\">the kids are \'horrible</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">I get a lot of mileage from this scene. I come into contact with a lot of teachers, and I hear this line surprisingly often: “They are +<em>pejorative</em>” (\'horrible\', \'arrogant\', \'uncontrollable\', \'difficult\' etc). In one message I recently received, a manager explained that a teacher had refused to teach a class because \'the students are noisy and disrespectful\'.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">What\'s interesting, however, is not that Arnie loses control: we all lose control at some point. The issue is his reaction that the kids are \'horrible\'. We see later in the movie, though, that the kids aren\'t horrible. They are just active, curious kids – they love playing, they respond to games, they need sleep, they have their own interesting preoccupations with genitalia and death. In fact, by the end of the movie Arnie loves them. The horrible-ness of the class disappears once Arnie implements systematic changes that the kids respond to.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">So let\'s rewind a bit and look at it all again. Why did Arnie lose control? Was it really because the kids are horrible? Arnie walks into a class untrained, unprepared, and with an agenda at odds with the children\'s educational interests. Really, how could anything have gone right? In a panic about one child, <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMQADg1Dp9g\">he leaves the classroom unattended</a> and we all know that turning your back on the class is a bad idea, right? Back up even more - <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k96h1dYQrj0&amp;t=2s\">watch how he enters the classroom</a>: can you identify some of the micro-skills that Tessa Woodward talks about that might have led to the resulting chaos?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en\">Classroom management muscle</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">What we can learn from Arnie here is that students are noisy and disrespectful but there is something the teacher can do. Once he was prepared and had techniques at his disposal, things went much better with Arnie\'s little classroom. I\'d argue that this is the reason why it\'s important to be trained, prepared, sensitive to the students, and willing to adapt to their needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">The fact that a class of pre-schoolers can destroy the destroyer is the laugh we get from this 20<sup>th</sup> century action thriller. Kids are hard to handle, even for the most hardened street-fighting, muscle-infested meanie. As an aside, did you know that director Ivan Reitman also had trouble with these kids while directing the movie? But since we\'ve bought into the charming caricature of the classroom, we can delight in the fact that Arnie needs less than 1 hour and 51 minutes to learn all he needs to activate his classroom management muscle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Post script: if you are going to copy Arnie, please don\'t use a whistle, just don\'t. Please.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en\">Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a><span>&nbsp;</span>in Bangkok.</p>',NULL,'2018-09-08 16:11:22',1,'2018-09-08 16:09:43','2018-09-09 13:59:10'),(32330,90,'Are TEFL teachers unambitious?','are-tefl-teachers-unambitious','What can you do about it if you feel you\'re stuck in a \'teaching rut\'?','So many people complain about conditions, wages and opportunities but do nothing to address these things. Some TEFL teachers seem to think this isn’t an industry or a “real” job so other aspects such as annual reviews and training aren’t relevant.','<p lang=\"en-US\">I met a friend of a friend the other day who said to me that TEFL in Thailand was dead.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">He’d been in the same 37,000 baht a month job for seven years and said there was nothing out there to improve his lot. He thought the only option was to go and qualify as a teacher in his home country and come back to Thailand but he didn’t fancy anything that serious. He liked his simple working routine but not the remuneration and conditions that came with it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Strangely, this conversation wasn’t a one-off. I’ve had it numerous times with many TEFL teachers in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">So many people complain about conditions, wages and opportunities but do nothing to address these things. Some TEFL teachers seem to think this isn’t an industry or a “real” job so other aspects such as annual reviews and training aren’t relevant. It’s led me to believe that there are a lot of unambitious TEFL teachers out there who do the bare minimum and still complain.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Coasting along</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">We’ve probably all felt at some time in our life that we’re \'coasting\'. The feeling of doing the bare minimum and not really improving or developing. For some people it feels good whilst others hate it. The problem is here in TEFL Thailand it’s possible to coast for a long time and not do anything about it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">After three years in my previous job I felt myself coasting. I wasn’t improving or developing and discussed this with many colleagues there. Interestingly, despite agreeing with me, none of them have left their jobs almost two years later. These teachers still complain about the same things and it makes me laugh and also feel rather sad for them. The problem is they feel the extra work or training to get a better position isn’t worth it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Same wage&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I hear the argument that wages in Thailand have remained the same for years. 20 years ago it was possible to make 35,000 baht a month in a government school and it’s the same today. The problem is a number of TEFL teachers have seemingly accepted this and stayed in that job whilst doing nothing but complain. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">TEFL jobs in Thailand can pay over 100,000 baht a month if you get the right positions and perhaps do a bit of work on the side. 35,000 certainly isn’t the ceiling. Those stuck at 35K a month and complaining about it are obviously unambitious, they’re happy with what they have and don’t feel like putting the effort in to make more. If they aren’t unambitious then they’re certainly lazy. As you’ll see below it’s really simple to go to 50,000 baht a month with just a little extra training.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">This isn’t just an issue for those on 35,000 baht a month. It’s easy to coast on any salary. Many TEFL jobs pay around 50,000 baht a month and many of my friends have gotten to that level and think they’ve succeeded. If you’re making over 100,000 baht a month then you’re doing well but if you’re making 50 -80,000 baht a month you can certainly make more.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Of course, in most situations, the extra money will come with higher training requirements and more responsibilities but unfortunately so many people are here for the easy life. They can see that extra 10,000 pay rise but think “nah, can’t be bothered with that extra work”.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">I’ll do it next year..&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">A key argument from many people I’ve met is there aren’t accessible courses they can do to improve or develop. I’m left astonished by the number of times people haven’t heard of well-known TEFL training courses which would make a big difference for them. For most of these you can do them part-time and don’t need to leave Thailand – no excuses not do them unless you don’t care about improving yourself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">CELTA, DELTA, TRINITY and DIP TESOL are just some of the options available. These days you can even do online TEFL degrees or online master degrees backed by international universities. The problem is so many people I’ve spoken to either give up on these courses or just put them off.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’m telling you now, if you get a CELTA there are lots of jobs paying over 50,000 baht a month you can walk into. No experience needed, no fooling around, these jobs are out there.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">On Ajarn.com these jobs exist, just take a look. &nbsp;If you’re in a 35,000 baht job, just go do a CELTA and the 60,000 baht fee will be paid off after four months in your new job. It should be a no-brainer to do a CELTA if you plan to be here for the medium-long term working in TEFL but it seems a lot of people can’t be bothered or don’t want to put the effort in.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If you want to be in TEFL and maximize your opportunities (and salary) then an MA in teaching, a DELTA or TRINITY DIP will see you get some of the most prized TEFL jobs around the world.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Another argument is that some teachers say these training courses are too serious and they don’t want to do more training. There are certainly people doing the bare minimum to be here and are so unambitious that they don’t want to improve as teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ve also heard many TEFL teachers saying they will go home and get qualified as a teacher in their home country and come back to work at an international school. I don\'t know of one person who’s actually followed through on it. Becoming an international school teacher is just a pipe dream discussed on a Friday night at Cheap Charlie\'s for many TEFL teachers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">No promotions or responsibility&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I understand if people don’t want to work in management, it’s certainly not for everyone. The problem is that if you don’t want to change schools or get a new qualification then promotion is realistically your only way to develop and earn more.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">A job I used to have paid the assistant managers an extra 5,000 baht a month more than teachers. For the extra responsibility it wasn’t a great deal. However, after around a year there was a high chance of becoming a branch manager making around an extra 35,000 baht a month compared to a teacher. The issue was so many teachers were short-sighted and only looked at the negative of extra responsibility for only 5,000 baht extra a month.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I understand some people just want to be a teacher and detest the idea of working for a “corporate machine” but it’s a viable way to improve your quality of life here. The lack of ambition to develop or put in extra work from some TEFL teachers is pretty poor.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Something for nothing</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Throughout several TEFL jobs in Thailand it seems some teachers expect something for nothing. They feel that by merely doing what is expected of them they should be rewarded or automatically shoved up the career ladder. TEFL is like any job - people who put in effort will get something back and those who do the minimum or wait for something to fall into their laps won’t get anything.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">In some cases people have argued that poor pay means they don’t feel under any obligation to go the extra mile. It’s a shame that people have this negative view which will certainly impact them in the long run.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">You certainly shouldn\'t be expected to do many hours of unpaid work but a little here and there can make a difference. The problem is some TEFL teachers seem so bitter towards their employers that they’ll be out the door as soon as possible after class.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">When it’s OK to be unambitious&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I understand why some people are unambitious. If you’re here for a couple of years or doing a bit of part time TEFL work to make some spare cash, you don’t care too much if your salary goes up or if you can get a promotion. Also, if you’re already well off and TEFLing as purely something to do then no worries, enjoy the lazy teacher lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I know one TEFL teacher here who worked as a stockbroker in London and rocks up to work without a care in the world to his 55,000 baht a month job. He likes the work, gets his work permit and visas sorted and works around 30 hours a week. On days off he’s either in his condo in Phuket or dropping 7,000 baht playing at one of the most exclusive golf clubs in Bangkok. &nbsp;He’s the type of person who has already had success and is happy being unambitious here in Thailand. Fair play to him.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If you are genuinely happy with your job and salary then that’s a good reason not to push further. However, I doubt there are many people out there who wouldn’t fancy an extra few baht in their back pockets and a chance to develop themselves.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Checklist for change&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If you’ve been coasting for a few years and want to improve your lot, I’d recommend the following as real actionable points you can do to show ambition.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Complete</strong> a training course. It could be a CELTA / DELTA or another course linked to teaching. Make sure it’s internationally recognized and discuss with your employer if they can help you with funding. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Speak</strong> with your manager to see if there is anything you can do on top of your current role. This could be project work, materials writing or mentoring. All of these would be excellent skills to learn and practice which will make you a better teacher and give you further opportunities in the future. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Always</strong> keep looking out for opportunities. Sure you might not find something straight away but there are lots of interesting jobs advertised throughout the year. Also speak to other teachers you know who’ve changed jobs to get their advice. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Get on LinkedIn</strong>. There are lots of teacher recruiters looking for part time staff. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Seriously</strong> consider online teaching. It could make you an extra 400-750 baht an hour. &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

In my opinion, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to cover the costs of an emergency either!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The beauty of travel insurance is that it’s highly customizable: If you’re planning to stay in Thailand alone for less than a year, short-term coverage may be sufficient. However, if you plan to travel around, then Southeast Asia travel insurance can save you both trouble and money.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why is travel insurance important?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>You may think that nothing bad will happen to you during your travels, but some things just can’t be predicted! Missed flights, damaged luggage, or food poisoning can ruin all the fun during and after your stay abroad. My advice? When you’re traveling in Southeast Asia, or anywhere else in the world, it’s just not worth taking the risk.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">3 reasons for securing Southeast Asia travel insurance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Medical care isn’t cheap in Southeast Asia.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Not everything is cheap in Southeast Asia! <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/cohi-2018/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>Medical costs can be high</span></a>, especially for treatments in private hospitals, where the staff is more likely to speak English or other languages. You probably don’t want to communicate in sign language with the local hospital staff, right?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Another important thing that most travel policies cover is medical evacuation, which is a process of transporting you to the nearest facility that can offer you treatment. Sometimes it can mean a plane flight, sometimes a helicopter, or even an ambulance; whatever the transport, you want to focus on your health and get where you can get help, regardless of the costs associated with getting there. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Even though in general Southeast Asia is a safe place to travel, the risk of road accidents is very high, especially if you are renting a motorbike yourself. Poor quality roads, reckless driving among locals, and congestion that delays ambulance rides (which you should make sure is covered in your Southeast Asia travel insurance plan) contribute to high numbers of injuries among tourists.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Travel plans should also cover emergency flights home to receive treatment and, in the case of death, repatriation of remains.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Travel insurance can cover your belongings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Stolen/lost passports, money, cameras or bags? No problem! While such situations are unpleasant, expensive and stressful, travel insurance will cover your costs associated with such events.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cancellations and missed flights do happen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Flight cancellations that lead to a missed flight are covered by most travel policies. You can get reimbursed for re-booking fees or new flight tickets, group trips, and/or hotels/accommodations. Some plans even offer protection in cases when you are forced, through no fault of your own, to cancel your trip.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">What’s included in Thailand and Southeast Asia travel insurance packages?&nbsp;</h2>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Coverage for certain medical costs, loss and damage to your property, travel and accommodation arrangements should be the basis of all Southeast Asia travel insurance plans. I mentioned before that travel insurance can be highly customizable, but it’s important to remember three main points about&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/travel-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\">travel insurance</a><span>:&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Travel insurance or short-term insurance is obtained for less than a year.</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>It can be purchased for every single trip, or as an ongoing regional policy - for example, Southeast Asia travel insurance.&nbsp;</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">It usually provides limited inpatient treatment (hospitalization), and won’t offer coverage for any pre-existing conditions. </li>\r\n</ol>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>What you need to look for in your Southeast Asia travel insurance?&nbsp;</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Check if your travel plan covers you for the following:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Does the policy cover ambulance rides, and pay particular attention to coverage for motorbike-related injuries.&nbsp;</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Does the policy cover medical evacuation and emergency repatriation?&nbsp;</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Does the policy cover injuries arisen as a result of adventurous activities, such as scuba diving, trekking, kayaking, etc.?&nbsp;</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Does the policy cover your belongings, and if so, what are the conditions and benefit limits?</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Does the policy cover flight and trip cancellation? </span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Of course, you may not need all of the above mentioned benefits, but if you are going to explore distant places, engage in so-called “adventurous activities,” or rent a motorbike - then I would suggest making sure your Southeast Asia travel insurance covers you for all the above situations.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If you have any questions about finding the right Thailand or Southeast Asia travel insurance, please don\'t hesitate to&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\">get in touch</a><span>&nbsp;with me or a member of our&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\">Pacific Prime Thailand team</a><span>.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>',NULL,'2018-09-27 16:40:15',1,'2018-09-27 16:40:32','2018-10-17 07:13:38'),(32332,98,'The best place to live in Bangkok for teachers','best-place-live-bangkok-teachers','Onnud has got the lot!','In the past, all we had was a Tesco, Big C and the beer garden.

Onnut!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now, some of you long-term expat readers might choose to disagree but you should also revisit the area if you have the chance and see what it\'s become.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Onnut was at the end of the BTS line for many years before the Sukhumwit line was extended out towards Samut Prakarn and beyond. The BTS station itself is located between Sukhumvit 79 and 81 (50 to 52 on the even side of the street).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the past, all we had was a Tesco, Big C and the beer garden. It was pretty barren. But it\'s distance from the \"city center\" and subsequent lower rents, while still having access to the BTS, has made it a popular choice for expats. The beer garden was always full of familiar faces.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But an expat population brings expat-oriented development. Commercial, as well as residential, which there has been a huge amount of.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tesco food court has since seen a upgrade. Tesco is also a supermarket for you American and Canadian travellers who have never heard of it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We all thought Beacon Square on Sukhumvit 50 was going to be temporary when they first started building it, with its tin-hut style design, but it has over time become a very popular hangout, home to Cheap Charley\'s (a Bangkok icon for cheap drinks), Rolling Stone Pizza and soon even a Bad Burger.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Century Mall has its own movie theatre and tons of good food options. There\'s \"The Phyll\" over on Sukhumvit 54. Muscle Factory on 54. Bangkok Fight Lab on 50. Big C Supermarket on 77. And more opening all the time. \"T77\" and Habito Mall have had entire articles written about what they bring to the area.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>And the old beer garden is still there. It\'s just hidden way up soi 81 and been downsized.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You\'re just a short a walk to a BTS station, two supermarkets, a movie theatre, good food, cheap food, and beer gardens.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Decent studios start at 10-13,000 baht a month. 1-bedroom condos go for 13-18k. It\'s price point makes it a most attractive choice. It offers a lot of good balance between affordable and convenience. The gym and pool facilities at some of the condos are also nothing short of very impressive.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are pet friendly options that are beautiful and very well-priced compared to other pet friendly options on the BTS line. Adopt a cat from PAWS Bangkok. Best decision you\'ll ever make. Bring him or her with you if you move on to another country. Be a good parent!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re looking for a location that offers cost effective rent on nice condos, a large expat community, a variety of restaurants and food options as well as the convenience of being walking distance to everything you need, Onnut is my personal top choice.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\'re looking for food recommendations: Tacos and Salsa on 77 are known for their guacamole. Try the chicken quesa. Then there\'s Pepper Lunch in Century Mall (very underrated). I had never before tried garlic soi sauce. Oh La La Cafe on Soi 50. Nourish at BFL on Soi 50 offers vegetarian and vegan food choices. The Pho at the Vietnamese place in Habito. Any pasta at Cafe di Maria on 79.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Check out this vibrant area if you are on the hunt for a great place to live.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are you a teacher living in the Onnud area?

Just as I do every day - with the exception of public holidays and the odd coordinately scheduled trip.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>As a matter of fact, I was accosted by a beggar this morning, wearing shabby clothes, motioning one hand towards his mouth while rubbing his stomach with his other hand. I stopped, looked at him and said, \"Hiu mark mai?\" enquiring if he was very hungry. He started to nod his head frantically as one who had had his message understood. The paradox of the fact that I was speaking to him in his own language while he mimed was completely lost on him. I then said, \"Kao jai loa,\" stating the fact that I understood and walked off.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Foreigners in Thailand, are genuinely thought to have more money than sense and I thoroughly resent anyone using sign language to communicate with me. That person obviously takes me for an imbecile but expects I\'m in a position to feed him. Take a hike!<span>&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In order to get to the BTS &nbsp;(Bangkok Sky Train) - I have to take a motorcycle taxi. There\'s at least one in every other soi or small road and almost one on every corner. They are rarely ever from anywhere other than the Northeast, an Issarn country boy who as well as<span>&nbsp;</span>two-wheeled vehicles and Issarn girls - loves \'to ride\' - the Michael out of every passerby.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once I\'m seated on his bike, his style is non-verbal communication, actions speak louder than words. Wearing a crash-helmet and an orange skeet-jacket while I as his passenger am completely unprotected. He takes full advantage of this - strumming the spectrum of my emotions - by riding part of the way one-handed, abruptly swinging the bike to one side and then to the other to avoid any imaginary objects. Then opening up on the straight while I try to hang on to the back of the seat as he casually chats on his mobile to a friend or family member.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>As a culmination he stops half on half off the main road, I stagger off the back trying to regain my bearings in order to quickly move out of the way of any oncoming traffic. I go to pay, he doesn\'t have the right change, I find it, he looks disappointed. He snatches the fare and tares off without a by your leave. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Next, I board a train. Approximately 15 brief BTS minutes later I exit - and take a short walk across a convenient connecting bridge at my destination, The Mall. Here I\'m lifted up to the third floor by a lift exiting out again and striding to the first<span>&nbsp;</span>on the left of the number one branch in the most distinguished language center chain in the entire country.&nbsp;</span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>As it happens Speech Perfect isn\'t any different from any other institute of instruction - except that we have the most pristine window frontage, the best interior designed decor - alongside the fact that our classroom furnishings are undeniably unsurpassed. Plus in our fifteen minute regulated breaks - we are offered either freshly made sandwiches or segments of fresh fruit alongside chilled refreshments. Each and every attribute and requirement of a well-heeled prospective Thai student, parents or guardian of one - are seeking in an educational institution.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The first class of the day is a young lad who wants to take his IELTS next month; 9am to 12pm. I shall be putting him through his paces with various prospected questions. Correcting him on his grammar and pronunciation while extending his higher level vocabulary.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Three hours later - that was surprisingly painless, a nice enough boy, polite and friendly - unexpectedly eager to learn. <span disabled=\"\">I\'m ready for lunch now - a two-hour break before I have to return.</span> I fancy something plain and non-oily today and as it is my happy birthday I\'m going to purchase a new pair of footwear. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The mall has a huge selection of footwear, every range, brand, design, and breadth of quality. I am forty-six today so I\'m looking for comfort more than style. \"Dai ka dai,\" you\'re welcome. The attractive young shop-in-shop assistant has spied a middle-aged foreigner who she believes is ready to jump any Thai woman that moves - she feels sure she\'s in for some easy sales commission. She gives me a smarmy little smirk and comes waltzing across laying on a \"Sa Wadee Ka,\" female Thai greeting with a trowel.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>She couldn\'t be more supercilious if she tried and she\'s going for broke - my skin is subjectively crawling off the back of my neck. She informs, \"Wi ha bic si for yu,\" we have big sizes for you - I tell her my size and basic requirements in fluent Thai. She responds by grinning and closing her eyes at the same time stating, \"I no s-speak anglit geng,\" I am not smart at speaking English. Well, I would\'ve never guessed! She\'s completely innocent of the fact that she\'s nurturing a most horrible case of halitosis even though she\'s presumably just consumed half a plate full of som tam, spicy papaya salad. I feel the urge to ask her if a soi dog had messed in her mouth, then recalling her limited linguistic capabilities I thought I\'d spare myself her reply. I decide to come back on another day - if my luck has changed - on this charming girl\'s day off.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Unto the Thai Food forecourt, I descend from the third to the ground floor. What delights are here to tempt me, not a great deal I suspect, the novelty of Thai cuisine soon wore off - since migrating here to start a new life. After firstly having been made redundant from the job I loved, I was a genetics researcher at the Cambridge Science Park. Secondly, having been divorced after sixteen years of wedded bliss by the wife that I adored - it matters not! Ours is not to reason why ours is but to do or die. If you believe that you are a romantic and a pathetic optimist - welcome to the club. Enough of my past perfect and back to my present simple.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The person who serves the chicken and rice is waiting with his usual surly countenance.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I order, \"Kor kao mun gai mai ao nang ao tangwah lagor nahm\" having exemplified the fact that I want chicken without skin and rice with cucumber and soup.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>He points to the rice and says, \"YOU rice!\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then pointing to the chicken he says, \"YOU shicken!\" then he plates them!<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next holding a slice of cucumber above his head with a pair of thongs - he waits for me to either accept or decline.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Now he\'s holding a ladle of hot watery soup above an empty bowl - he waits impatiently for my prompt response.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, just in case he hasn\'t already succeeded in jarring me right off, he holds up a splayed hand to indicate the charge - fifty baht.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This wouldn\'t be quite so bad if it wasn\'t for the actuality that he\'s been serving me chicken, rice, cucumber, and watery soup at least once a week for the past four years.<span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In amazing Thailand, some Thais try to emote others into committing what is seen as a serious loss of face; such as being heard to raise your voice in a public place or having been seen to be angered. The logic here appears to stem from that a large part of Buddhist philosophy is that you should retain a state of peace and harmony at all times. On the other hand, who truly knows where its origins lie or how it all began.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Fact is, for a native working in a service industry, often being spoken down to, occasionally belittled and always poorly paid by fellow countrymen and women. Having been repressed by his or her own culture, having to bite their tongues and keep smiling in the face of adversity. A foreigner represents a most welcoming opportunity to release some pent-up acidic anxiety.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Replenished and recharged! One must go to buy provisions at the Mall\'s impressive international supermarket, which increases its prices on an all too regular basis. I gather a basket full of wares and head for the checkout point. The stout and sturdy cashier on seeing me turn up the corners of her mouth and begins to slowly nod her head as one who has spied a passing buffalo. After she has run my rations by the till\'s scanner - I stand to wait, watching, with my wallet at hand. Then in her native tongue - I ask her, \"Nee toa lia carp,\" How much? She does not reply, she indicates the charge on the cash till with her hand. I tell her, that my eyesight isn\'t good while apologizing for this fact, \"kor tort carp shat mai dee.\" With both her hands spread out to convey that she doesn\'t know what to do.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Her dilemma is that she cannot speak English and she will not speak Thai - in her mind if she did it would amount to a serious loss of face. \"CanI-elp-yoou?\" a forty-something maternal looking do-gooder standing behind, having heard and seen everything that has taken place. Then asks the cashier \"Nee toa lia ka,\" How much? The cashier instantaneously replies, \"Nueng pan sahm loh hahsip jet baht,\" one thousand three hundred and fifty-seven baht. I repeat, \"Neung pan sahm loh hahsip jet.\" Now counting out the money to the exact amount, placing it near the till turn back to the despondent do-gooder - thank her very much and walk away with a self-assured smile.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>These skilled emoters appear to be acting in all innocence to the unfamiliarized or even pitied for their simplicity by the imperceptive. <span>&nbsp;</span>Of course, these emoters are often made to become the emoted. Perhaps, by a foreigner who has come to recognize the signs and has learned to speak Thai adequately enough - in order to win - in these ubiquitous passive-<span>aggressive mind games.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>On my return to the school, I am informed by the manageress khun Bun, a small in stature be-speckle blue trouser-suited Chinese-Thai women in her late fifties that my <span>2pm to 5pm</span>, afternoon class have canceled on the day - COD. This means I can retreat to my humble abode and still be fully compensated - one of the few bonuses of being an EFL educator in a cram school in Thailand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Goodbye, Khun David,\" <span>dutifully \"See you&nbsp;</span>tomorrow<span>, Ka!\"</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"Goodbye, Khun Bun,\" likewise \"Thank you very much, Krup,\" theatrically \"Yes, once more unto the bridge, <span>tomorrow</span>.\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"Take care, Khun David,\" patronizingly.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>\"You too, Khun Bun,\" with knobs on.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Thai people are generally highly sensitive to their own social position and to that of others around them - as foreigners in the land of the scowls we are advised to do likewise. Nonetheless, in my experience, the respect that is shown for a position is purely superficial. For instance, a manager is waied to, kowtowed, bowed down to - up to the exact point when they are demoted, then subsequently cold-shouldered or at best blanked.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Case verification, Khun Bun, our branch manager - she would have me hung drawn and quartered for the price of a Starbuck\'s coffee and I wouldn\'t piddle on her under normal circumstances if she were on fire!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>This evening I\'m going to devour steak and kidney pudding, homemade chips and peas, followed by lemon meringue, all washed down with a fine bottle of red wine. Farang, or foreign food is top of the creature comforts\' list of a long-term expat. I shall not be dining alone, some friends - Diwl and Boat will be joining me. A lovely young couple I\'ve known for some time - former students. They enjoy trying traditional British dishes, I suspect they are anglophiles at heart.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Tomorrow</span>, I shall go to teach, go-to-shoppin and I\'m so looking forward to a trip to Samui island at the end of this year with my cohabiting Thai co-teacher and fiancee, saintly and patient Pat. Who is at present caring for her mother many miles away in Nong Kai as she has recently been involved in a relatively minor accident.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>A short rewind from the Mall\'s vast department store to the polished concreted modern mass transport human dispenser. The sky train is still relatively quiet so I manage to get a seat, on my return to Yanawa where I am located. By the next stop, all the seats are taken - I only ever surrender my place to heavily pregnant women, octogenarians and of course the blind. Sure enough, a visually impaired small brown-skinned bearlike young woman who couldn\'t prevent herself from smiling was guided by a train guard onto the carriage in which I was residing. Quick to leap to my feet I gain the honor of escorting one of God\'s gentler creatures - an absolute sunbeam - a shining example to us all - to where I had been sitting<span>&nbsp;</span></span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>&nbsp;</span>15 minutes being spent - I have now vacated the elevated electric<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>locomotive - the mid-afternoon sun is still fierce as I amble along the public pavement approaching the makeshift unruly stand of soi rodeos or manic motorbike transporters - over the way the local temple - I cannot resist in taking a quick glance at its placid sermonic facade. As I do so, more than one worshiper among a group immediately begins to nip their noses while glaring directly at myself - as if I were a prowling skunk - Pepe La Poo that\'s me!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I\'m no less than 50 meters from where they are standing and even if I were caked in pig slurry, they wouldn\'t get so much as a whiff from here. This form of behavior truly disturbs my equilibrium nevertheless only temporally. The irony of the contradiction that a number of the congregation are racially abusing me while supposedly worshiping the Lord Buddha at the same moment - doesn\'t appear to cross their twisted minds. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Thailand is a greenish and fertile land with an accommodating and moderate tropical climate, rugged shrub bedded mountains, sanded trodden populated beaches, a glorious volume of spectacular wildlife, a vast variety of palatable food, a refreshing range of beverages and many, many well-natured appealing friendly likable natives.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>So, why? Oh, why do some Thais perversely take the greatest of pleasure in metaphorically tearing the legs off a Keko - a miniature harmless house lizard? &nbsp;We shall never allow the despicable band - the undeserving minority - to obscure us to the goodness that unequivocally prevails!</span></p>',NULL,'2018-10-02 17:59:20',1,'2018-10-02 17:56:55','2018-10-02 17:59:23'),(32334,52,'October 2018','october-2018','Take your TEFL course in Thailand with one of these trusted training providers','In our monthly TEFL course news blog, we\'ve got all the latest news, promotions and deals from Thailand\'s biggest teacher training courses.','<p><strong><br><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/training/Int_TEFL_academy.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii fr-fil\">International TEFL Academy</strong> - ITA offers a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/tefl-tesol-certification-courses-asia-thailand-chiang-mai\">4-week TEFL TESOL certification course</a> in Chiang Mai that will qualify you for jobs in Thailand and worldwide.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As well as comprehensive training, the course includes personalized job placement assistance for teaching positions in both<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.internationalteflacademy.com/thailand-english-teaching-jobs-abroad-asia\">Thailand</a> and around the world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Taught by experienced instructors in new state-of-the-art facilities, the Chiang Mai TEFL Class is accredited by TQUK in the UK and also by the Thai Ministry of Education.

The \'chunks\' of the story are short, there is a heavy focus on action and by actively involving \'you\' in the plot flow, it encourages engagement in the story.','<p>Reading isn\'t popular with everyone. I\'m sure you know people who need a lot of encouragement to read.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was like that all the way through school - I found all sorts of creative reasons why I didn\'t have time to read. I wiggled out of reading \'Paradise Lost\', pretended to read \'Fun with Dick and Jane\', and where necessary, I forced myself through painful hours of \'The Purple Plain\' by H.E. Bates or the odd Dickens tome.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One exception to my reading aversion was the \'create your own adventure\' series. These books are written in the second person, so \'you\' are the main character. At each crucial stage, the text asks you to make a decision and you choose what will happen next. So it goes something like: \'You meet a large red dragon in the hallway blocking the way forward. You either have to go back, or fight the dragon. You decide to fight the dragon with your new broadsword: go to 37. You decide to run back to the inner chamber and fetch the wand: go to 117\'. It requires good memory for numbers and a lot of page flipping.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s easy to see why these are great for younger readers. The \'chunks\' of the story are short, there is a heavy focus on action (rather than descriptions of bubbling brooks and muddied contemplations of characters\' existential crises), and by actively involving \'you\' in the plot flow, it encourages engagement in the story.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In our language classrooms, this kind of reading task is called a reading maze. Given that reading in a foreign language is tough, we have to be creative with looking for ways to get students to do so. Giving them an entire \'choose your adventure\' won\'t work for the time constraints of a lesson, but we can create mini-reading mazes for the classroom. I\'ve made one for the purposes of this blog, designed around \'you\': a language teacher working in Thailand. Try it out and see how it feels.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"1\">1</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Your new schedule includes a group that is renowned for their boisterous behavior. Right from the first lesson they have challenged your authority. They ignore you while you\'re teaching, they don\'t do their work, and are quickly distracted by one another, and are generally disrespectful when confronted about their lack of focus. Today they were a right bunch of @!*#ers and you have had enough of them.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You are going to take matters in hand by yourself</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#5\">Go to 5</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Some of the other teachers may have some ideas, you can speak to them</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#9\">Go to 9</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You think this is a matter to take up with your department head</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#12\">Go to 12</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"2\">2</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s been a vicious day. You are exhausted from your difficult class, so you can\'t be bothered to give the other classes much attention either. You have started to find that they are all monsters and you can\'t remember why you ever wanted to become a teacher in the first place. With the end of the month coming soon, there is a real temptation to simply book your ticket home and forget this whole distasteful chapter of your life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>⛔ <strong>DEAD END</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#1\">Start Again</a>\r\n	<a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#comment\">Leave a Comment</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"3\">3</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You decide to keep a \'Teacher\'s Diary\'. In it, you write anything about the lesson with this class that you can remember. <a href=\"http://www.leeds.ac.uk/educol/documents/00001698.htm\">Following a little study</a><span>&nbsp;</span>you found online, you use the lesson plan to guide your memory of the lesson and note all your memories – what went badly, how the children reacted, what they learned, your own reactions and so on. To make this work, you decide that during the lesson you\'ll minimize any tantrums and just see how the class unfolds. After all, by just letting the students be themselves, you have more to consider in your diary. You decide to do this for 2 weeks. Afterwards, with Landon\'s help, you look over the diaries. First, you highlight all the comments that are negative in yellow, and all the comments that are positive in pink. Then you look to see how the comments changed over the study.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#11\">Go to 11</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"4\">4</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Bob is happy to see you, and eager to talk. He tells you about the problems he had with this group, and focuses most of his attention on that \'group of bratty boys\' at the back. He clearly found one of these boys, Poom, particularly unlikeable. You know the boy, but you aren\'t sure that he alone is the source of the problems. When you try to share your own experiences with Bob he doesn\'t pay attention and continues to rant about Poom and his \'pack of hooligans\'. Bob tell you he found threats of \'sending them to the office\' quite helpful. Talking to Bob makes you feel that your difficulty with this class is not your fault, but the conversation just makes you feel even more hopeless about the situation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>⛔ <strong>DEAD END</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#1\">Start Again</a>\r\n	<a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#comment\">Leave a Comment</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"5\">5</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You storm into your next lesson with every ounce of authoritative presence you have – you shout, threaten, nag and generally spend most of the period trying to impose some order on the group. Nothing seems to work. The class blithely behaves as usual, ignoring your attempts at control. One group sit chatting to each other, a few do their maths homework. One falls asleep. A small group take in your vociferation with contrite apologetic looks, but it\'s such a small group that it makes no real difference.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You decide it\'s time for some serious discipline</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#10\">Go to 10</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>It\'s time to see if you can get some help</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#15\">Go to 15</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"6\">6</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/U4kLZLhxWzk\" width=\"100%\"></iframe>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The video explains that action research is a kind of teacher-based research in which the teacher collects data from their own classroom in order to improve the quality of their classroom experience. This seems to fit what you are looking for. You aren\'t sure how to go about it, so you meet Landon and explore with him some possible areas for a mini research project with your class. Once you start considering it in detail, you realize that although it will be a bit more work, it\'ll probably be quite interesting. There could be things happening in the classroom that you aren\'t aware of. All you have to do is collect some data while the lesson progresses. Landon says he\'ll help you analyze the results to see what it is that is actually going on and what can be done about it. After some consideration you find there are two possible areas to focus on.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You can collect data on your own teaching in the lesson</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#3\">Go to 3</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You can collect data on what the students (or certain students) do in the lesson</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#13\">Go to 13</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"7\">7</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You round up the most rowdy members of the class, and send them outside of the classroom to cool off. One of these is a noisy boy named Poom. You expect that getting him and his buddies out of the room will allow you to get on with teaching the rest of the class. However, the students who stay in the class become really excited by the departure of their classmates, and start shouting comments at them through the door, much to everyone\'s apparent amusement. Even the children in the class next door get involved. The monsters in the corridor seem to be loving the attention, and make even more noise. At this point, your department head happens to walk down the corridor, peeks in to see what\'s going on, and asks you to go and see him after your lesson.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#12\">Go to 12</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"8\">8</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The video Landon gave you seems to be a waste of time. You see in the video description that it\'s something about \'Action research in TESOL\'. Please! Perhaps Landon put this action research onto you because he has no idea what to do either. In any case, conducting research is unreasonable – you are busy with other things, and the problem with your new difficult class just doesn\'t seem worth all that effort. You tell Landon you are considering the options, but decide to ignore the whole thing and instead just grin and bear the ignominy of teaching a difficult class.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>⛔ <strong>DEAD END</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#1\">Start Again</a>\r\n	<a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#comment\">Leave a Comment</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"9\">9</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>During lunch you tell the other teachers about your trouble with the class. They commiserate and seem genuinely concerned for you. One teacher, Bob, taught that group the previous year and he says he knows them well and wants to share his experiences with you. You find Bob a little self-obsessed, but he might have the answer.

The diaries also make you more able to define the nature of the problems you\'re having with the class, so your discussion with Landon and other teachers is more specific to your areas of concern.

He asks you some questions about the difficulties you are having with the class, and allows you to explain the situation in your own words. He nods, and admits that the class is tough. This gives you some sense of affirmation about difficulties you are having. Instead of giving you some advice, however, he tells you that the solution is something you can probably figure out for yourself and sends you a link to a video by Anne Burns.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You\'d really rather not waste your time on the video</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#8\">Go to 8</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Although the whole thing seems tiresome, you decide you\'ll see what the video is about</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#6\">Go to 6</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"13\">13</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You decide that your focus will be on the children. As your focus, you choose two students who you consider to be the most problematic – Poom and his noisy sidekick, Benz. You aren\'t sure these two are the main problem, but they are certainly part of the headache. Every time they get distracted, you mark on your data sheet what they did (instead of studying), and what they were supposed to be doing. Because you are focusing on these two, you ignore other sources of trouble for the moment. You decide to do this for 2 weeks.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the end of the study, you make two lists – one includes the activities students were supposed to be doing when the trouble began, and the other a list of what the students did instead.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#16\">Go to 16</a></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h2><a name=\"14\">14</a></h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You march the students down to the office and hand them over to the secretary.

This gives you something to think about. How does Aim fit in with the classroom management problems you\'re having? Is she instigating the trouble? If she is separated from Poom will that help? With this data, you understand of the interactions in the classroom a little better, and you now feel you have some good ideas for how can start to make some effective changes to your lessons and how you deal with the group.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>? <strong>YOU WIN!</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#1\">Start Again</a>\r\n	<a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"#comment\">Leave a Comment</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://books.google.co.th/books/about/Models_and_Metaphors_in_Language_Teacher.html?id=c3lhAAAAMAAJ&amp;redir_esc=y\">This maze is based on one by Tessa Woodward</a>.

Time to put that right. Just me, my wife and our trusty hire car.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The plan was to spend a night in Chiang Mai before setting off early on day one to cover the 200-odd kilometres to Mae La Noi and our first night\'s accommodation. The second day would hopefully see us get as far as the sleepy town of Mae Hong Son. From there it would be a relatively short drive to the buzzing backpacker enclave of Pai, before returning to Chiang Mai on day four.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So here we go - a journey of about 600 kilometres and approximately 12 hours of driving (plus stops en route) - my wife behind the wheel and me in charge of the navigational duties. Enjoy the ride!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Day 1 - Chiang Mai to Mae La Noi - 3 hours 45 minutes (plus stops) - total distance 214 kilometres</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We hit the road early having flown into Chiang Mai the night before on the usual knees-around-your-chin, low-cost airline. By the time we had collected our baggage and sorted out the hire car formalities, it was almost midnight. <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293917-d12210872-Reviews-The_Better_Hostel-Chiang_Mai.html\">We had booked a room at The Better Hostel</a>, which at that time of night was barely a minute\'s drive from Chiang Mai Airport.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Normally, anything with the word \'hostel\' associated with it has me trembling in fear but our private room on the third floor was surprisingly comfortable with a modern bathroom and even a small outdoor terrace for smokers. And it certainly got two thumbs up for the arctic air-conditioning (not something you often find in cheaper Thai hotels and guest houses)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At less than a thousand baht a night, we felt it reasonable for somewhere so convenient for the airport.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But back to the start of the road-trip. We weaved our way through Chiang Mai\'s early morning rush hour in search of a hearty breakfast (no breakfast menu at the hostel by the way) It didn\'t take long to find our first of many roadside coffee shops. This part of the world is simply a coffee lover\'s paradise. At times, there can seem like a quirky and welcoming coffee shop at every single bend in the road. With caffeine inside us, we felt ready for the journey ahead. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife (God bless her) had researched the trip thoroughly and listed a number of stops and attractions for each day but our first diversion was completely unscheduled. <a href=\"https://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/Ob-Luang-National-Park--167\">The Opluang National Park</a> looked too good to miss. In fact this was to become a recurring theme over the next few days. Attractions that we had read about and chalked up as \'must-sees\' were sometimes a bit of a let down, whereas places we would pull into spontaneously were actually far more interesting. Then again, that\'s one of the unwritten laws of travel isn\'t it? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/MHS1.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib fr-fil\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Needless to say, The Opluang National Park had a dual-pricing tariff in operation - 20 Baht for Thais (written in Thai script) and 200 Baht for the likes of me. I politely asked the lady at the ticket office for the Thai price and she shook her head and said \'no\'. &nbsp;I don\'t know about you but I find that much more preferable to engaging in one of those embarrassing conversations where the foreigner pleads his case and ends up getting angrier and angrier and making a complete twat of himself.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I paid the 200 Baht and it was worth every single penny. &nbsp;Rarely have I seen a national park so beautifully preserved and maintained. &nbsp;Everywhere you looked there were uniformed staff sweeping leaves, re-painting signposts and generally making the place more agreeable.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Being the height of the rainy season, we had clearly chosen the right time to visit. A mighty river raged its way through canyons and gorges, which you could view from above by standing on narrow bridges that gave you the feeling of being in an Indiana Jones movie. It was terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure. I wouldn\'t have missed this place for the world. We noticed a sign that indicated a hiking trail of some two kilometres in length but unfortunately our itinerary didn\'t allow for it. But hopefully we might be back some day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our next (and this time scheduled) pit-stop was the <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293917-d1746081-Reviews-Bo_Kaeo_Pine_Tree_Garden-Chiang_Mai.html\">Bo Kaeo Pine Forest</a>, which I suppose was interesting enough if you\'d never ever seen a pine tree before because that\'s pretty much all there was - lots and lots of pine trees. I guess the clue is in the name.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife informed me that pine trees rarely grow in other parts of Thailand so to see a whole forest of them is something of a rarity. &nbsp;I\'m sure the place whips botanists into a frenzy but a ten-minute walk into the woods and back again meant you were pretty much done, however, Thais seem to enjoy Bo Kaeo for the photo opportunities it presents more than anything else.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/MHS2.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Time for lunch and we made a stop at one of those wonderful ramshackle roadside restaurants fashioned out of wood and gecko spit. The kind of place that knows how to fill a plate for 30 baht. We ordered a couple of chicken and garlic over rice and checked our e-mails while the friendly proprietor got busy with the wok.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I plucked a soft drink from the self-service refrigerator and a young helper asked me if I would like a glass of ice to accompany it. When I nodded my approval, the young girl scurried off in the direction of the kitchen and was never seen again. You kind of get used to that in Northern Thailand. The pace of life is slower and there\'s just not the same sense of urgency that you find in Bangkok. So I drank it straight from the can. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No road trip in Thailand is complete without stopping off at a temple or three and Wat Phra That Chom Mon was the next \'attraction\' on the list. Getting to it required a white-knuckle drive up a ridiculously steep hill so our expectations were high. Disappointingly, our first impressions of the temple were not great. It looked rather run-down; as though no one had been up there for weeks, but the amazing views over Mae Hong Son Province more than made up for it. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the afternoon wearing on, it was time to find our digs for the night. We had pre-booked a bungalow at <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g2237333-d3590194-Reviews-Herntai_Resort-Mae_La_Noi_Mae_Hong_Son_Province.html\">The Herntai Resort</a> in Mae La Noi, a small town in the south of Mae Hong Son Province. Like so many Northern Thais, the resort staff were smiley and friendly and couldn\'t do enough for us, but their Northern bonhomie did little to mask the poor quality of the rooms. &nbsp;Our bungalow was small and cramped and the air-conditioner did little to combat the heat and general \'mustiness\'.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After checking-in, we were eager to see what Mae La Noi had to offer. It looked a perfect little town, ideal for a late afternoon stroll. The resort manager advised us to go and see the local market and offered us a couple of bicycles but we decided to stretch our legs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS3.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The market was splendid as small-town Thai markets very often are. There were only a few vendors selling their wares on one small street, but what they lacked in number, they made up for with interesting foods and that unmistakable northern charm.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We returned to our bungalow for an evening meal and an early night. There seemed little else to do in a place as peaceful as Mae La Noi.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The following morning, after a fitful night\'s sleep, we explored the rest of the Herntai Resort and it quickly became clear that we had been given probably the worst bungalow on the site. Other bungalows had spacious terraces to sit on, hammocks to snooze in and were generally in better locations, well away from the hustle and bustle of the reception and restaurant area.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That said, the whole resort had fallen into a state of disrepair. A forlorn-looking exercise area offered nothing but a couple of rusting multi-gym machines and a hopelessly warped ping-pong table. Everywhere needed a good lick of paint. You often see this with these bungalow resorts out in the sticks. Not enough guests bringing in not enough money to keep the complex well-maintained and inviting. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We didn\'t even hope for much when it came to the resort breakfast - but even that was poor. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife made a good point actually. When you book with a third party portal like Booking dot com or Agoda, the property can fob you off with any old room. When you book directly with the receptionist at the accommodation (as my wife often does) you can grill them over the phone, ask a thousand questions - and make sure you are given the pick of the rooms. You might end up paying a little more (not always) but you do get better accommodation. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Day 2 - Mae La Noi to Mae Hong Son Town - 3 hours (plus stops) - total distance 131 kilometres</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just outside Mae La Noi was yet another coffee shop with its own breathtaking viewpoints. We stopped here not just for the coffee and scenery but to dress up and take some fun photographs.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For a token donation towards hill-tribe charities, you could try on all the hill-tribe gear your heart desired. &nbsp;The friendly lady in charge of making coffee also doubled up as wardrobe supervisor to make sure you got the look just right.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS15.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We passed a very pleasant hour conducting our very own hill-tribe fashion shoot and the best part was that we had the whole place to ourselves. I\'ve no doubt that on Saturdays and particularly Sundays, you wouldn\'t have got near the place for hordes of Thai day-trippers but travelling in Thailand on weekdays, while everyone else is hard at work, is always a joy.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was rapidly turning into something of a hill-tribe day because our next stop was <a href=\"https://mychiangmaitravel.com/ban-huai-sua-tao/\">Wat Huay Sua Tao</a>, a small temple and an area best known for its village of long-necked people (the Kayan tribe) I\'d read from various internet sources that this was about as genuine as hill-tribe villages get - but that was not the case.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Things started well as we parked the car in front of the temple and ambled along dusty streets with our very own temple dog escort, who incredibly stayed by our sides every step of the way. There wasn\'t a soul around. But turn a corner and you came face-to-face with a ticket office and a rather steep 250 baht entrance fee (same for Thais) just for the privilege of browsing hill tribe souvenir stalls. The Kayans didn\'t mind you posing for photos with them as long as you at least showed a passing interest in buying something.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For me this was voyeuristic tourism at its very worst and I quickly became uncomfortable and couldn\'t wait to leave. I bought our faithful four-legged companion some well-earned snacks and we made our way back to the car.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS4.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We pulled into another one of those roadside shacks for a spot of lunch and were warmly greeted by an old boy who you felt hadn\'t spoken to an English-speaking foreigner for weeks. It turned out that his modest eatery was part of a complex that included a handful of wooden bungalows situated on 20 rai of prime forest. &nbsp;He gave us a tour of the accommodation, showed us his guest book and an album of photographs, and told us about his wife who was away in Bangkok visiting relatives. For twenty minutes, he never paused for breath.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I often notice this about Northern Thais. Many of them are supremely confident when it comes to using English but there is a very fine line between confident and over-confident and eventually the one-sided conversation can become rather overbearing. &nbsp;This old fellow was a prime example. He prattled on about everything and nothing and I found myself instinctively nodding my head as my brain shut down and my eyes glazed over. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We drove on to the <a href=\"https://mychiangmaitour.com/su_tong_pae/\">Su Tong Pae Bridge</a> and one of the highlights of our road trip - an absolute gem! A rickety bamboo bridge that started at the temple and wound its way into the neighboring rice fields literally as far as the eye could see. The bridge was built by the local community in order to help monks gain easy access to the local villages. All I can say is don\'t miss it!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS5.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our overnight accommodation was at the superb <a href=\"http://www.fernresort.info/\">Fern Resort</a> just outside Mae Hong Son town. It\'s hard to believe that we got such luxury for just 600 baht more than we had paid for the Herntai Resort the previous night because frankly, they were polar opposites. The first thing you noticed as you checked in was a large framed photograph of the proud-looking resort owner flanked by none other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. We later found out that the mega-celebrity couple have stayed there four times. When Angelina is messing about in Myanmar and doing whatever she does, The Fern Resort is one of her favorite bolt-holes. Well, if it\'s good enough for Brad and Angie, it was good enough for us - and so it proved. Everything about the joint was first-class from the bungalow itself down to the service-minded staff and even a free shuttle bus to ferry guests into nearby Mae Hong Son and back.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS7.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mae Hong Son was the perfect little town. Large enough to keep you occupied for an evening but small and \'unexciting\' enough to keep it off the tourist trail and retain its \'Thainess\' at the same time. I think I saw one other foreigner the whole evening.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We strolled around the ubiquitous night market but it was a somewhat pathetic affair with no more than a dozen sellers peddling their wares. We asked a charming, middle-aged lady selling t-shirts why the market was so peaceful and she told us this was the first night in weeks that it hadn\'t rained. \"The vendors don\'t come during the rainy season because they get tired of having to display their goods and then pack up again when the heavens open. But now the rainy season looks to be over, they\'ll start returning in greater numbers\"&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We bought a couple of Mae Hong Son t-shirts from her because sales were obviously few and far between but most of all, because she was so sweet.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We then rounded off the evening at the excellent <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g297928-d8854614-Reviews-77_House_s_Wine_Coffee_and_Food-Mae_Hong_Son_Mae_Hong_Son_Province.html\">77 House Restaurant</a> on the town\'s main high street. A quirky, fun place to linger unhurried and it served up a delicious <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khao_soi\">khao soi</a>. &nbsp;One simply has to order khao soi when one is in this part of Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS6.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Day 3 - Mae Hong Son Town to Pai - 2 hours 20 minutes (plus stops) - total distance 107 kilometres</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We would love to have stayed at The Fern Resort for longer but we said our goodbyes and set off again shortly after breakfast. Our final destination today would be Pai, and although the town was little over a hundred kilometres away, the twisting, turning road of 1,864 curves would make for slower-than-usual progress.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We covered most of the journey with only two stops for coffee. Or maybe it was three. I laugh at this now but its so difficult to just drive past when each coffee shop has its own unique character and its own magnificent vistas. You find yourself instinctively pulling in even though you\'ve got so many coffee and fruit smoothies sloshing around inside your stomach, you\'re almost fit to burst. It\'s amazing that we were getting any sleep at night!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It almost reached the stage where you wanted to park the car, reel off a few photos without actually buying a drink and then making a sharp getaway - tyres screeching as the coffee shop owner shakes her fist in the rear-view mirror.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Next up was <a href=\"https://mychiangmaitour.com/santichon_village/\">Santichon Village</a>, a village lived in and maintained by the Yunnan people from China. You can sample traditional Yunnan foods in several open-air restaurants, hire a costume to walk around dressed as a Chinaman, practice your archery skills, ride a horse and buy hand-made souvenirs to take home. Yes, it was all incredibly touristy but some folks seem to like that sort of thing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS13.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The whole entertainment complex (if I can call it that) looked rather down on its luck. There were few tourists around and it felt like the Yunnans who managed the place were just going through the motions. There wasn\'t much of a spring in their step. We dined in an enormous restaurant where we were the only two customers - but the pig\'s leg and steamed buns (two Yunnan specialties apparently) were both delicious. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS8.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>About 20 kilometres from Pai, I started to get an uncomfortable inkling of what probably lay ahead. Numerous backpacker / world traveler types came at us in the opposite direction, wobbling on their rented motorcycles (motorcycles more suited for a local shopping trip) and pausing every couple of miles to adjust their ill-fitting crash helmets. Clad in the obligatory vest and shorts, they looked like accidents waiting to happen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We parked up at a viewpoint and were pestered by grubby hill-tribe kids from the second we got out of the car. &nbsp;I tried to make light of the situation by telling the kids I was poor or that all my money had gone, but hill-tribe children hustling tourists to take photos don\'t do that kind of humor. &nbsp;They merely scowled and walked off to look for other foreign targets.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Backpackers and hill-tribe hustlers, this was another world to the calmness and serenity that we\'d left behind just a few hours ago. This suddenly felt like full-on \'tourist Thailand\' and having spent a lovely 24 hours up and around Mae Hong Son, it was all a bit dispiriting and hard to take. &nbsp;But truth be told, things were about to get even worse.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We crawled into Pai town and our jaws hit the floor. You are of course familiar with Khao San Road, Bangkok\'s well-known backpacker enclave.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>First impressions alone, I remarked to my wife that Pai looked like \'Khao San Road on steroids\'. &nbsp;My wife described it as \'a tatty version of Hua Hin\'. &nbsp;I knew pretty much straight away that I wasn\'t going to enjoy my time here.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We checked into our digs at the extremely upmarket (by Pai\'s standards) <a href=\"http://www.hotelartists.com/pai/home.htm\">Hotel Des Artistes</a>, dumped our bags and took a stroll up Pai\'s long main drag. I knew that Pai appealed to a certain kind of holidaymaker. I knew that travelers and \'hippy types\' often came here and stayed for months on end. I expected little pockets of \'backpackery\' but nothing this intense or concentrated.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Every single business on Pai\'s main street catered for backpackers in some shape or form. There were hamburger joints next to pizza parlours, shops that would happily wash your dirty laundry by the kilogram, and I lost count of the number of places where you could book a hill-tribe trek, a water rafting experience or get a tattoo or have your hair braided.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Foreigners must have outnumbered Thais by at least twenty to one. This just wasn\'t my scene. This wasn\'t Thailand; it was a stage show put on by Thais who think all this stuff is what foreigners actually want or need.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS9.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nightfall only served to ramp things up to another level. We walked past a beer-bar advertising booze buckets and inside they were playing an Eagles CD, while in front of the bar, a Thai rastafarian type with Bob Marley vest and shark-tooth necklace was whipping up pad thai with tofu for hungry passers-by. The whole scenario went beyond the cliche.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We sat in a restaurant and watched the passing parade. If I had a dollar for every grubby singlet, pair of elephant pants, ethnic ankle bracelet or woven bag, put it this way, I would have easily covered the cost of our hotel for the night. &nbsp;Some people label it as individuality. So why then does everyone look as if they\'re squeezed from the same tube?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What happened to Pai and when? Who\'s to blame - is it the foreigners, the Thais or are both as guilty? Are all the services on offer genuinely what the younger generation crave? So many questions. But I do know one thing - come sunrise, I couldn\'t get out of town fast enough.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Hotel Des Artistes was great by the way.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Day 4 - Pai to Chiang Mai - 2 hours 45 minutes (plus stops) - total distance 130 kilometres</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our final day of the road trip and I\'ll confess that my enthusiasm was beginning to evaporate. The last leg of the journey before our 7.30pm flight home, would take us from Pai down to Chiang Mai along the most winding of roads. &nbsp;One of my friends on social media did the same road trip several years back and described the drive to me as \'as dull as ditchwater\' and while that\'s not the expression I would use myself, I do appreciate where he\'s coming from.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The constant twisting and turning does get monotonous, but the biggest downside is that along the majority of the route, you are hemmed in by tall trees on both sides. You only grab occasional glimpses of the wondrous scenery beyond. And of course this was Sunday, when all the Thai day-trippers would be out in force. However, let\'s make the most of it because we had several scheduled stops penciled in.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, there were of course a couple of coffee stops en route and this time, a pair of real instagram heavyweights - <a href=\"https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g303916-d3567859-Reviews-Coffee_in_Love-Pai_Mae_Hong_Son_Province.html\">Coffee in Love</a> and <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pg/aewdeereview/photos/?tab=album&amp;album_id=1207639856007756\">The Witch\'s House</a>. Lots of photography potential at both establishments.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS10.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>After a short stop at a hill-tribe market affair so my wife could buy some nic-nacs for colleagues at work and I could sample the delights of some grilled sweet potato (sold to me by a very talented salesperson I might add) we ventured on to the first of our scheduled stops - <a href=\"https://mychiangmaitour.com/tha_pai_memorial_bridge/\">The Pai Memorial Bridge</a>, a pleasant 20-minute diversion provided you didn\'t mind sharing the experience with hordes of Chinese tourists who spilled out of their minivans on what must have been organised tours.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The original bridge was made of wood and built in 1941 by The Japanese Army to improve the route from Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai and give them a better chance of clobbering the Burmese. The steel bridge you can walk across nowadays is not the original but impressive all the same. Watch where you\'re going though ladies! - the wooden flooring had rotted away in parts and one wrong step could see you hurtling down into the river below.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS11.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just a few minutes drive from the bridge is <a href=\"http://asianitinerary.com/geological-magic-at-pai-canyon/\">The Pai Canyon</a>, known as \'Kong Lan\' in Thai and touted as one of Pai\'s most awesome natural attractions. It\'s a steep and tiring climb to the top, especially in the heat of the day, and I think opinion would be divided on whether it\'s worth the effort, especially if you are one of those lucky people who has visited THE Grand Canyon in America. However, climb to the top we did, spent ten minutes admiring the view, and that was pretty much it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS12.jpg\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dii\" style=\"width: 1440px;\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our final stop of the road trip was one I had secretly looked forward to most of all - <a href=\"http://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/news/174000-baht-spent-second-king-kong-statue-huay-tung-tao/\">Huay Tung Tao Reservoir</a>, an expansive public park where Chiang Mai Thais like to go picnicing, boating or just to sit under a shady tree. However, we weren\'t there for any of that nonsense. No sir! We had come to see monkeys. The Tourism Promotion Office had spent thousands of Baht building three six-metre high King Kong figures made entirely from straw.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had seen photos of the straw gorillas on the internet and oh boy, did they look impressive. I just had to see them! The only problem was that on a Sunday in early October, half of Thailand\'s population wanted to see them too! It took us quite a while to gain entry to the park with such a long line of traffic and then to find a parking spot. It was worth it though. I mean how often do you get to see one six-metre straw King Kong, let alone three of \'em! &nbsp;Again, it was a terrific photo op if you didn\'t mind pushing small children out of the way.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/Content/blogs/MHS14.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Final thoughts</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Looking back at what I\'ve written here, I\'m worried I may have come across as a tad negative but then again, I only deal in honest accounts. These travel blogs are trips seen through my own eyes and no one else\'s.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The road trip was definitely a mixed bag. For instance, I wouldn\'t have missed The Opluang National Park, The Sung Tong Pae Bridge or a night at The Fern Resort. However, a number of the attractions like The Pai Canyon, The Bo Kaeo Pine Forest and the hill-tribe village of Wat Huay Sua Tao were very much of the take-or-leave variety. And I absolutely hated Pai.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My wife and I both agreed that if we ever returned to the region (and truthfully we\'re in no great hurry) we would fly directly to Mae Hong Son, enjoy a few nights at The Fern Resort and plan several day trips. I wouldn\'t want anything to do with Chiang Mai or Pai next time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Did I enjoy the road trip? Yes, because four-day breaks are always welcome. &nbsp;Would I do the Mae Hong Son Loop again? No. &nbsp;Do I think that if you are going to spend time in North Thailand, you are better off checking out <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/bangkok-phil/go-and-see-nan-province.-im-begging-you\">Nan or Chiang Rai Province?</a> Absolutely yes! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-10-10 17:51:01',1,'2018-10-09 19:24:48','2018-10-12 08:42:16'),(32337,90,'Is it worth moving out of Bangkok?','it-worth-moving-out-bangkok','People often cite the lower cost of living, better quality of life and a more Thai-style existence as reasons to be based outside the capital.','I’ve done a little research and come up with some example salaries in different regions in Thailand.

There are obviously jobs outside the capital which pay well but it’s rare to see.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m happy in Bangkok but people cite the lower cost of living, better quality of life and a more Thai-style existence as reasons to be based outside the capital.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I love visiting new towns and cities in Thailand. Bangkok can get a bit too full on and lacks the beauty of many other regions in Thailand. However, it’s difficult to argue that Bangkok isn’t the place to be if you’re looking to make decent money. The big question is whether it’s worth living outside Bangkok despite getting a lower salary.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What are the different salaries offered?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve done a little research through the jobs offered here on Ajarn.com and come up with some example salaries in different regions in Thailand. Whilst this isn’t an exact science it should give a good guide of &nbsp;potential earnings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Bangkok:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Government school native speaker (degree holder)– 38,000 baht per month</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Government school non-native speaker (degree holder) &nbsp;20,000 baht per month&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Bilingual kindergarten job (degree plus CELTA) – 50,000 baht per month&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>International School (home country qualified native speakers) 100,000 baht per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Part Time teaching – 400 baht per hour</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Krabi:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Language Centre (degree holder + TEFL) – 36,000 baht per month&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Pattaya:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>International School (degree in Education from UK, USA, Canada, Australia + 1 year experience) 50,000 baht per month&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Government School native speaker – 35,000 baht per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Chiang Mai:</strong><span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>International School ( Education Degree + PGCE) 55,000 baht per month&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Government School native speaker – 30,000 baht per month</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phuket:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Government School – Filipino teacher – 15,000 baht per month&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Qualified History / Maths teacher – 30,000 baht per month</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Part time teaching – 300 baht per hour.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>As you can see Bangkok does have jobs which pay on average slightly higher than other regions in Thailand. I’m not saying that there aren’t good paying jobs outside Bangkok but the capital is the place to be if you want to easily find a higher salary, especially at the top end jobs. When you look at government school jobs there isn’t much in it. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Cost of living</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I keep hearing that it can be much cheaper to live in cities outside Bangkok. I believe that’s true for rural areas but I’ve found tourist destinations as expensive, if not more so, than Bangkok. Of course when you live somewhere you get to discover cheaper areas to eat and hang out so it’s not so fair to compare living somewhere with just visiting it. What I have done is spoken to a few friends who live around the country to get a feel for their cost of living.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chiang Mai is a popular location for teachers and salaries are lower. I’ve been a few times and spoken to teachers there and they say that certain things are cheaper than Bangkok but the gap is closing. There are plenty of cheap restaurants and even mid-level places offer better value than their Bangkok counterparts. However, chain restaurants and bars are pretty similar in price to Bangkok these days. Accommodation is cheaper claim a number of teachers in Chiang Mai and a quick search online backs up their claims.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>A friend who works in Phuket raves about his quality of life. However, he has to be careful not to venture into the tourist areas too frequently as there are plenty of temptations to spend his salary on. He pays just over 10,000 baht for a studio room around five-minutes drive from the beach. The lack of affordable public transport and most good restaurants being expensive are the only downsides he mentions.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>An ex-colleague lived and worked on Samui for a year. He said it was possible to find reasonable accommodation for under 10,000 baht per month. The reason he left was because he couldn’t stop himself going to tourist restaurants and bars which meant he blew his salary every month.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I previously lived in Pathum Thani, a province just north of Bangkok. I wont deny that it was cheap to live there. A small studio room was 3,500 baht a month, a two bedroom house 10,000 baht a month. Food was cheap and local buses and motorbike taxis meant getting around was cheap.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally, a teacher I know who works in Ratchaburi tells me that he spends a lot less there than he did in Bangkok but that he thought that was due to there being less to do there!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Quality of life</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>It’s not easy to measure quality of life. Factors such as education, employment, wealth, religious freedom, health care, safety and the environment can be quite subjective.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are some teachers here with families so again Bangkok has the widest range of schools but major cities also have international schools.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The environment in Bangkok is probably one of the worst in Thailand. It’s hard to argue that many places in Thailand have more pollution, traffic and fewer green spaces than the capital.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bangkok does have more international hospitals but again if you’re in places like Pattaya or Chiang Mai there are western standard facilities there too. Wherever you are in Thailand you will find clinics and hospitals and can always visit a larger city for treatment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Thailand.html\"><span>The US Government&nbsp;</span><span>has a few safety warnings about Thailand</span></a><span>. These focus on the four provinces in the south of Thailand where there are occasional attacks. The same website warns of political demonstrations occurring in Bangkok.&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.thairsc.com/eng/\"><span>This site</span><span>&nbsp;shows you road traffic accidents by province.</span></a><span>&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In general if you are looking for a more natural environment then getting out of Bangkok is a good idea. If you are focused on medical facilities or education for your children then Bangkok is probably still your best option.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Real Thai experience</h3>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Firstly it isn’t easy to explain what a “real” Thai experience includes. Perhaps in this example I mean the idea of interacting with Thai people and living a different life than back in our home countries.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most people will think that living in a small village will achieve this goal of living. Bangkok is still different to most other cities but perhaps there are more reminders of home than if you were living in the sticks.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Bangkok acts as a magnet for people from all over Thailand. As such you’ll probably get more chances to meet people from all over the country if you do live in the capital.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Perhaps your experience in Bangkok is linked to your income. A lot of international school teachers live in fancy condos in Ekkami or Thong Lor and have the money to travel everywhere by taxi and eat in international restaurants every day. Other teachers perhaps can’t live the same life of luxury and get more doses of Thai life.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>I would say that if your dream is to eat at local markets, become fluent in Thai and be a part of the community then that is probably easier to achieve outside the capital.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Is it worth being outside Bangkok</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My opinion is that if you are happy working for a government school then being outside Bangkok is a good thing. Your salary is going to be pretty similar to a government school teacher in the city and you’ll probably have more disposable income in a nicer environment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It’s up to you if you decide to be just outside Bangkok, in another tourist location or a small village. Personally if I was following this route I’d choose a mid-size place like Udon Thani which still has good facilities and an airport nearby to get the best of both worlds.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If you’re looking to make over 50,000 baht a month or would like to work in an international school then Bangkok should still be your go to place. Sure you could make this money outside the capital but it’s easier to get those jobs after a few years experience and networking in Bangkok. Use your extra income to travel around the country in your free time.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

What followed was a torrid time that bore little if any resemblance to what I believed Thailand stood for.','<p>Ever since my first visit back in 1987, I had visited Thailand dozens of times before moving there with my family in 2011. Each time I came, I saw something new that fascinated me to the point of believing that no other place could hold a candle to this magical Kingdom. Of course, I was wearing the proverbial orchid tinted spectacles most of the time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we moved from the UK to India and then on to Thailand, I firmly believed that I had made the right move for myself and my wife and son. We’d said goodbye to dismal Britain and were here to stay. What follows is an excerpt from my first book, Bangkok to Ben Nevis Backwards, and it covers a fairly torrid time when those original beliefs start to transform into a rather stark reality that bears little if any resemblance to what I believed was what this country stood for.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here\'s a list of the characters in this real life drama:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Jum – My wife</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Yai Kit – her mother</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Yai Dee – her Aunt</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Tom – My son</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Yai Leeuw – Yai Dee’s girlfriend</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Megan – Our West Highland Terrier</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>One of my weaknesses, and also Jum’s, is that we tend to be a little too soft and never seem to learn from our mistakes. Okay, I’m mainly talking about when dealing with those people who are born to take advantage. So let’s look at Jum’s family. Not a great track record to be honest, and we always ended up being taken for a ride.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve already spoken about the land issue, thanks to the Three Bitches, but that doesn’t even come close to what happened next.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few days after the fish and spider floor show, I could sense that Yai Dee had started to get bored of us living under her roof. Our house was still being built, and I could not wait for the day that we finally moved in. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated her hospitality and all, but this was a tiny house and the two not-so-young lovers probably needed their personal space back.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The only thing holding up the builder’s progress was Yai Dee herself, who insisted on overseeing literally every swing of the hammer – and she wasn’t slow in coming forward as far as criticism was concerned, either. We lost two complete teams of builders thanks to her vile tongue, and I had long since given up trying to influence the way that our house would be built; she knew best apparently.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We’d tried looking at local schools for Tom, and I had also been to look at a few with a view to starting my teaching career. Neither exercise was entirely fruitful and we’d decided to wait until the house was built, most probably rent it out, and then move to the city for better prospects. We’d kept this plan quiet from Yai Dee because we weren’t sure how she would take to strangers living next door.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One lovely morning, after going to the local temple for prayers, I was starting to speculate how she’d react to this news when I heard a wild screaming that told me I’d not have to worry any more. She already knew!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum had been speaking to her friends in Kalasin about schools and housing, and Yai Leeuw had been eavesdropping. She’d reported directly back to her surly paymaster, and all hell was being unleashed. Although I had a basic understanding of Thai and knew more than my fair share of swear words, there were dozens of new ones suddenly ringing in my ears on that peaceful Isaan morning. Even the builders had stopped their work to listen – not that they usually needed an excuse!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum was forced to listen as Yai Dee called her all the names under the sun, and a few that came from a far darker place. She then started picking up stones and throwing them in Jum’s direction. As one of them hit my wife square on the forehead, I intervened and shoved Yai Dee hard enough to knock her over. She then tried to pick another stone up, more like a rock, and had a mad look in her eye that scares me to this day.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She never got the chance to throw it because Tom stood in-between us, and one of the builders restrained her. ‘Phil, we have to leave!’ Jum was stating the obvious but within twenty minutes we’d removed all traces of our belongings and relocated to her mother’s house. Bizarrely, Jum and Yai Kit were on better terms and if anything, this had made their relationship a little less shaky. I was furious, and what made matters worse was the fact that I was due to fly to Bangkok a few days later for a 3 week TEFL training course. I’d already paid about £700 for this but now I felt as if I needed to stay.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As we discussed this potential nightmare, Jum’s phone rang and her face turned from a frown into a beaming smile as she shared the news. ‘Megan is at the airport!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Amidst all the chaos we had yet again forgotten about the fourth family member. We’d planned to house her at Yai Dees, but that wasn’t going to happen now. Yai Kit wasn’t a dog lover, but despite this she had Jelly and Euro, both Thai mongrels whom we loved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two hours later myself and Jum were at Kohn Kaen airport in the cargo section. It had been nearly two months and the bill was horrendous, but we didn’t care. Maybe now we could start to function as a family once more!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here was my latest list:</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>1. Collect Megan (obviously)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2. Find somewhere to live in Kalasin city</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3. Job and school for me and Tom</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4. Sell or rent our house once built</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was more and more obvious that I hadn’t really thought things through – plus I still had to sort out our bank card issues with our UK bank. There was less than £1,000 in my account by now, and I still had to pay the builders.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My thoughts were interrupted by an approaching airport cargo vehicle beeping its horn. The side doors swung open and there she was – our darling Megan! She instantly recognised me, and the weirdest bark was emitted as I approached her and waited for the airport employee to open the cargo case we’d bought back in the UK. She darted straight past me and into her mistress’s arms and I looked on as the mutual admiration club made up for lost time.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her voice had all but disappeared thanks to a mixture of stress and barking too many times, but apart from this, Megan Hall was in good health and we drove back to Ban Mai Chai with the missing piece of the Hall family jigsaw puzzle finally intact. Yai Kit was non-plussed when we introduced Megan to her, but the family dogs were quite friendly with Megan and before long she was following Jum everywhere she went, just like old times!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was New Years’ Eve and I couldn’t wait to say goodbye to 2011. A somewhat bizarre 365 days and although most of it hadn’t panned out too well, I really hoped that the next set would be a little kinder to us all. I decided that I had better pack for my trip to Bangkok.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Note – at the time of this event, I firmly believed that I was required to complete a 3-week TEFL course before I could start teaching. I held a bachelor’s degree from the UK and had also completed an online TEFL course but was inclined to believe that I needed more for teaching in a government school.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>We didn’t bother celebrating the New Year, and the next day I rose early to prepare for my flight and onward journey. I had already booked a hotel room in Bangkok for seven days, and would look for cheaper lodgings after a few days into the teaching course.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The school term ended in March and this was the best time to look for a teaching job. This would be the first time that I’d be alone in Thailand since being married, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a little bit excited. I really hoped that everything would run smoothly back at the ranch – surely they could behave until I came back, couldn’t they?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My brother-in-law, Lot, drove me to the airport and I said a slightly tearful goodbye to Tom and Jum before climbing into the old pickup. We’d bought this for Jum’s father about seven years ago, and since his demise nobody had even cleaned the poor vehicle. Less than four hours later I was in Bangkok and had checked into my new home for the next week or so. I called Jum and she wasted no time in telling me to look after myself and to stay away from any bars or massage parlours… as if?!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How could she even think that I would be interested in this seedy side of Thai culture? The very cheek of the woman! Then she went on to say that Yai Dee had moved the boundaries separating our land from hers, and had reclaimed around 20 metres of it!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was furious but warned my wife not to do anything hasty. In fact, she should wait until I returned because that old bag would have done this deliberately to provoke Jum into kicking off. Yai Dee had a history of violence and rumour has it that this evil old witch had previous form for stabbing people!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, my advice would be ignored; it usually was.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My hotel was based on Sukhumvit road, a lively tourist area, so I took a shower and headed out for a few refreshing beers. When I say a few, I mean about seven or eight; I kind of lost count, and enjoyed this rare slice of freedom. The next day I awoke with a mild hangover, and for the first time in three months I pulled on a pair of smart trousers and a shirt and tie. By the time I had reached the MRT station, I was sweating like a stuck pig. Jesus it was hot, probably close to 40 degrees and not even 8 a.m. – how would I cope when I started teaching?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thankfully the train was nicely air conditioned and I played Spot the Foreigner, as I soon realised that most of the travellers were Thai and they seemed to be copying their British counterparts on the London tube. If you’ve ever taken the tube, you’ll know what I mean when I say that to a man, or woman, each of these commuters was engrossed in the daily newspaper, and conversation was non-existent. Same-same, but different.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Following the printed instructions, I changed trains at Siam and hopped on the Bang Wa line before jumping off at Si Lom station. The entire journey had only lasted twelve minutes, and the TEFL offices were just over the road from the station.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I reached the front door of the offices I felt the vibration of my phone in my back pocket, and delayed my entrance to answer the call. The receptionist briefly looked up from her breakfast without making eye contact, and quickly went back to chowing down as I heard my son’s frantic voice on the other end of the line.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Dad, Mum has been stabbed!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Tom, calm down and tell me what happened?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My son breathed deep, then told me that despite my own advice, Jum had gone to Yai Dee’s house early this morning with several family members, including Bitch Numbers 1 and 2. There she had physically uprooted the boundary posts and returned them to their original positions. I could tell what would have happened next.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yep, Yai Dee had then appeared with her girlfriend and a huge shouting match had ensued. At the peak of this verbal battle, Yai Dee had marched straight up to my wife, produced a large machete from out of nowhere and had aimed a strike directly at Jum’s head. Jum had apparently raised her left arm and managed the block the strike. The machete had gone deep into her arm just below the elbow joint. Yai Dee then twisted the machete until the bone cracked.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not a single family member had stepped in, and as my wife fell to the ground her assailant calmly removed the blade and returned to her house, lesbian girlfriend in tow.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Tom, where is Mum now?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He said that he alone had arranged for Jum to be taken to the nearest hospital, and that was where he was calling from. She had lost a lot of blood but was now stable, Thank God.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A sudden voice made me look up, startled. ‘Are you Philip Hall?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A middle-aged European man was watching me with a concerned look on his face. Somehow, I managed to speak. ‘My wife has been stabbed, I have to go…’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Without waiting for an answer I turned around and returned to my hotel. I tried in vain to get a refund for the unused nights packed up and jumped into a taxi. I’d probably lose the money from the TEFL course and more besides.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Why, oh why, did this have to happen right now? Of course, when an emergency happened I usually started blaming people before I calmed down. Despite the terrible nature of this scenario, I reverted to type and cursed my bad luck. It was only when the plane had landed in Kohn Kaen that the full force of the attack hit me. My wife could have died, had she not reacted so quickly! Then I started to blame myself.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Why hadn’t we stayed in India? Why hadn’t we stayed in the UK? I began to piece together the whole sorry set of circumstances that had led to this near-tragedy:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1. The debts – my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2. Selling our home to pay the debts – also my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3. Choosing to come to India – my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4. Giving up on India – my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>5. Coming to Thailand – my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Okay, it wasn’t me who swung the machete, neither was it my fault that dear old Dad had Dementia, but everything else – my fault.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How could I make everything right? So far it was all losses and practically zero wins.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I hailed a taxi and during the two hour journey to the Kalasin municipal hospital, I had plans and lists going through my mind like never before. This terrible event had put a hold on everything, and it struck me how much I loved and needed my dear wife. What would we do without her? Jum had been the rock in my life that I so badly needed.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As the taxi ploughed through the Isaan countryside I noticed the rice fields and saw that they were a hive of activity, with hundreds of labourers hunched over picking up the harvest. Jum had been born from this very stock, and it was the same people who had very nearly ended her short life.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I started to feel anger and hatred towards her auntie; I had given this woman the benefit of the doubt so far, but that had been a big mistake. Once I established that Jum was okay, I would do my utmost to deal with Yai Dee. I would give my all to this mission, because this vile woman deserved punishment and she was going to regret her actions for the rest of her life!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Finally we arrived at Kalasin Municipal Hospital. There were dozens of people sitting in the Outpatients area, and I noticed one poor fellow had what could only be described as a six foot metal pole protruding from his skull! He had a buddy who was holding the object, and I could only imagine how that had happened. Thailand was not at all health and safety conscious, and this hospital bore testament to that fact.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apparently Jum was on the 3rd floor, and I called Tom’s mobile for directions. A few minutes later I saw my 13 year old son rushing towards me; I could see that he had been crying. &nbsp;As we hugged he told me that Jum’s family hadn’t even come to the hospital with her – in fact, Bitch Number 2 had made a joke about how overly serious Tom was being about the whole attack!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This was the very same woman to whom we had given 30,000 Thai baht a few years earlier to set up a business with her boyfriend! (I say ‘given’ because when you lend money in Thailand, you may as well consider it a gift because you’ll never see it again.) The business had been quite successful – until the police had become involved.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Unbeknownst to us, The Bitch and her boyfriend had used the funds to buy a shedload of methamphetamine tablets and set themselves up as the premier drug dealers in Ban Mai Chai and the surrounding villages. They were quite the entrepreneurs right up until the point where they tried flogging their wares to an undercover cop. Her boyfriend went to prison; this was at a time when the government was cracking down on criminal behaviour. We then received another call for help because if he didn’t come up with 20,000 Thai baht in the next week, he’d probably be jailed for twenty-five years. Thailand does not muck about when it comes to sentencing, but their law enforcers are fairly open to the odd financial deal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, being the softies that we were, we dug deep and stumped up once more. So if you were wondering why I had issues with Jum’s sisters, hopefully this will clarify things a little! Now, as we walked into the small hospital room, I could see my wife laid up in bed. She looked as pale as I had ever seen her. The golden skin that had attracted me to Jum in the first place was now looking sallow and unhealthy. She still managed a weak smile, and I did my best not to show my concern.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few of her old friends were in the room and these good people had been helping Tom look after Jum since her arrival. Family? Nowhere to be seen. Despite their poor track record, I struggled to come to terms with their behaviour.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum had lost a lot of blood and had already endured a long operation, during which the surgeon placed a metal pin in her elbow to assist the healing. The cut had been so deep that it had pretty much sliced through her bone, and the way that Yai Dee had twisted the machete had snapped the remainder as if it were a twig. ‘Have you spoken to the Police yet?’ I asked Jum – stupid question, because how could she have? She needed rest, not the added stress that I was creating. But when you have nothing but plans and hope, this type of horrific incident scatters them to the wind, and my head was hurting as a result. In my heart however, I had one thing in mind.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Revenge.</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>I didn’t even know how yet, but I would make Yai Dee accountable for this murder attempt. It was now my only real objective.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Apologies for what probably seems like too much information, I wrote the book after my stint at teaching in Isaan and much of it was written in a different frame of mind to how I feel now.</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>The next excerpt will show exactly why my opinion of this country changed so dramatically and I do welcome your comments about both this section and the next, hopefully to be continued…</em></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks for reading my words and if you’re interested in my book, <a href=\"https://www.asiabooks.com/bangkok-to-ben-nevis-backwards-a-journey-through-dementia-from-england-to-scot-220018.html\">it is now available from Asia Books in shops all over Thailand</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Phil Hall</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>was lucky enough to teach at a government school in Isaan from 2012 to 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed this experience.

To help, I\'ve taken the liberty of uncovering the below most common health exclusions to look out for.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>1. Pre-existing conditions</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This term describes any ailments, conditions, or injuries that you currently/previously suffer(ed) from or received treatment for before joining your plan. Pre-existing conditions are, in most cases, automatically excluded from coverage.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The most obvious reason why insurers automatically exclude pre-existing conditions is because there\'s a significantly higher chance that you, as a policyholder, will submit claims for care related to conditions that you already have and need ongoing care for.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To be clear, there are a number of insurers who will cover your pre-existing conditions, but there\'s usually a catch (e.g. you\'ll have to pay an extra premium/loading).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>2. Cosmetic surgery</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This might be an obvious one, but it\'s definitely worth mentioning. Many of the questions I get asked are related to health insurance coverage and cosmetic procedures like nose jobs, breast augmentation, face lifts, eyelid surgery, etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>As a general rule, health insurance plans in Thailand - and everywhere else for that matter - won\'t cover elective surgery (i.e. procedures that are scheduled in advance, and are not deemed as medical emergencies). Virtually all cosmetic surgeries are classified as elective, and are consequently excluded from health insurance coverage.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cases where this may not be true are where an accident causes a major physical deformity, and cosmetic surgery is deemed medically necessary for the benefit of the patient’s quality of life.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>3. Assisted reproductive treatment</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While comprehensive health insurance plans might cover infertility investigation, almost all health insurance plans will exclude assisted reproductive treatment like in-vitro fertilization. There are a small number of international health insurance plans, however, that do allow for fertility treatment coverage, but they will usually come with certain restrictions (e.g. a long waiting period of 18+ months or more).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>4. Miscellaneous hospital charges</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you\'ve ever stayed overnight at a hospital before, you\'re likely aware that hospital bills will often list extra charges that are not classed as medical procedures or boarding fees. These include things like telephone calls, guest meals, etc. While these miscellaneous charges are typically excluded from cover, in most cases your health insurance plan will cover the main costs of hospital treatment, such as room and board fees, lab tests, surgery charges, etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>5. Certain scenarios and activities&nbsp;</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Virtually all health insurance plans will exclude injuries/illnesses arising from scenarios and activities like:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Intentional self-harm&nbsp;</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Hazardous use of alcohol/drugs</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Participation in criminal acts</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Professional sports</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>War and terrorist acts</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">6. Health insurance coverage outside of Thailand</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Those with a local Thai health insurance plan will likely have no coverage outside of the Land of Smiles. If you travel frequently in Southeast Asia or further afield, I\'d recommend buying an international or Southeast Asia health insurance plan, so that you have access to benefits without boundaries.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you any questions about health insurance in Thailand, <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>get in touch</span></a> with my team, or visit Pacific Prime Thailand\'s <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>website</span></a>, <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/blog/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>blog</span></a>, and <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/resources/guides/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>resources</span></a> page today.&nbsp;</p>',NULL,'2018-10-17 07:11:28',1,'2018-10-17 07:08:12','2018-10-17 07:12:32'),(32340,90,'It’s time to start paying non-native teachers fairly','its-time-start-paying-non-native-teachers-fairly','Nationality shouldn\'t determine pay rates!','If someone speaks English to a native level, has great teaching skills and experience, they shouldn\'t be discriminated against purely based on their nationality.','<p lang=\"en-US\">I honestly feel that now is the time non-native speakers should be paid fairly in the Thai TEFL field. &nbsp;By fairly I mean linked to their qualifications, skills and English ability.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’m proud to work for a school where skills and ability matter more than nationality and we pay our teachers equally. Hopefully more schools will follow soon.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><a href=\"https://www.cosmo.ph/lifestyle/career-money/filipinas-teaching-thailand-a93-20180927-lfrm3\">This great article from Cosmo Philippines</a> shows that some non-native speakers are making as much, if not more, than some native speakers - but there is still a long way to go.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">There will of course be the usual bunch of people who cry out “but they have bad accents” or “the parents and students want Americans and Brits only” and even “They don’t really know how to use English”. The point I’m making is that non-native speakers should be paid based on skills and experience that dispel some of the above arguments.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">One point I want to make crystal clear is this is not an article arguing about which countries are native / non-native speaking countries. For the ease of understanding I’m basing native speakers as those listed by the authorities here in Thailand regardless of my personal opinion of what constitutes a native speaker.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The South Africa argument&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">There are a lot of South Africans teaching English here in Thailand. It’s vary rare that people raise an eye at having a teacher from South Africa but the Thai government does not include them on their pre-approved list of native English speakers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">South African teachers have to take a TOEIC test before they are allowed to teach here. If someone from the Philippines or Italy can pass a TOEIC to the same level then I guess they have the same English ability as a South African or any native English speaker.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">What I’m saying is that if a non-native teacher can score 95%+ on a TOEIC exam then I guess the “they can’t use English” argument falls on its face.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Some will say that an exam is not the same as using spoken English. That is true but at an interview it should become clear whether a non-native speaker can use spoken English well.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">When I’m in the classroom I make the odd grammatical slip or spell a word wrong here and there. Nitpicking on non-native speakers who make a few mistakes is not fair as we all make them. At the other end, if a non-native speaker gets a score of 75% on an exam then it should be reflected in the jobs they can do and the salary offered.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Qualifications&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If a non-native speaker gets an acceptable score in their language exam and has a degree or masters in education then surely they are better suited to teach English than a native speaker with zero teaching experience or qualifications? As such shouldn’t they be offered the same, if not greater pay?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Of course if a non-native speaker doesn’t have teaching qualifications or scores poorly in an English exam then they should be paid a lower rate or not hired. It’s all about fairness.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ve been lucky to work with a couple of non-native speakers in TEFL who have masters in education and related fields. I’ve learned so much from them and I would readily admit they have more experience and subject knowledge than me. They are paid the same salary as me and a few earn more as they have been at the school longer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">As the interviewees in the Cosmo article say, well qualified non-native speakers should know their worth and not settle for less.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Accent</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I wrote an article here on Ajarn <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/richard-mccully/accents-classroom\">about teachers\' accents when learning English</a>. Overall I feel it is a benefit for students to learn from teachers with a wide range of accents. Thai students won’t only speak English with people from London and California. They will speak English with other non-native speakers as well as those from Canada, Australia etc.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The chance to have great, well qualified teachers from Italy, Brazil, Myanmar, Kenya etc will only benefit students in the long term.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Many Thai students I’ve spoken to say they find it difficult to understand teachers from outside America as they’ve been brought up on Hollywood movies and American music. It takes time for them to adapt to British, Australian and other accents – the same applies to non-native speaker accents.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Of course if a teacher has a poor accent and is not understandable at all they should not be hired. This applies to both native and non-native speakers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Someone’s accent shouldn’t be the reason to pay them 50% less than another teacher.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">But the parents and schools want Brits and Americans..&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I think this argument depends on the school. Sure some schools have a policy of hiring only teachers from certain countries. Other schools are open to any nationality.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">When it comes to government schools there is an under supply of teachers so we should encourage well qualified non-native teachers to come here by offering equal salaries to native speaking teachers. 15,000 baht a month for someone with a degree in education, great TOEIC score and experience using English is a kick in the teeth. Pay the going rate of 30-40,000 baht a month and better teachers will come here.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Bilingual schools offer a multitude of classes in English. They often need teachers with experience of teaching other subjects such as maths, history and science. I personally know a few non-native speaking teachers working in bilingual schools. Some make the same as their native speaking peers whilst others make less. Most of these teachers feel appreciated and well respected at their school.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">International schools are much stricter with teacher recruitment. A large majority of native speaking teachers in Thailand wouldn’t be qualified to work in an international school. If it’s a British school or American school then you can understand why schools choose teachers from their respective countries.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">However there is the example in the Cosmo article of the Filipino teacher working in an international school making $60,000 a year so it’s certainly possible for non native speaking teachers to work in these schools. Again qualifications and experience are important when working in the international school sector.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Parents care a lot about their children’s education, especially if they’re paying a fortune for it. I understand that some schools take heed of parent’s warnings and stick to Brits and Americans but this isn’t the case nationwide. Non-native speakers should accept that they may need to be flexible to find a good employer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The students&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ve worked with teachers from Poland, Italy, Myanmar, South Africa, the Philippines and China. The students who have been taught by these teachers have given great feedback. Over my five and a half years here I’ve never heard a student comment or complain about a teacher just because of the country they’re from. Perhaps this is because these teachers all have a native level of English and appropriate qualifications.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’m sure there are examples of students and parents complaining about the non-native teacher because of their nationality. These complaints might be about accent, teaching style or English ability. Again I’m not saying that some of these claims are unjustified in terms of English ability. If a non-native teacher is teaching incorrectly and making lots of mistakes I can understand the student’s frustrations. However, those who do meet standards should be rewarded with fair pay.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">What’s keeping wages down?&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Well firstly we can see there are some non-native speakers here making equal money, if not more, than native speakers. The problem is these jobs are not easy to find.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">There are also many well qualified non-native teachers who accept low salaries as they feel it’s their only option or don’t fight for higher pay. Perhaps it’s agencies pushing the agenda to schools that they shouldn’t pay teachers from certain countries 30,000 baht a month regardless of their qualifications.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Also looking at the Cosmo article, one teacher states in the Philippines she could earn around 18,000 PHP ( about 10,200 THB ) a month. Making 15-20,000 baht probably sounds quite good for new arrivals. Like native speakers there are probably a steady stream of people happy to come here for a year or two on lower salaries as they feel they are getting a pretty good deal.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Fair salaries – what’s not to like?&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I don’t think anyone could argue that well qualified, capable non-native speakers should get equal salaries. To do so would show ignorance or perhaps something much worse. When it comes to it, if someone speaks English to a native level, has great teaching skills and experience, they shouldn\'t be discriminated against purely based on their nationality.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">In the end, schools are free to choose who to hire, but I hope in the future that skills and ability will be more important in the TEFL field when deciding salaries than a person’s home country.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Just about everything. Many things work differently here; it does not mean they are wrong, they are just different. Thailand will evolve at its own pace and to suit Thai people, not expats.','<p>In thinking of my premise for this article, I was reminded of two specific things.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/the-great-escape/jd-2\">The first is an interview given by John in the regular Ajarn section: The Great Escape</a>. A more spot on and succinctly put summary of life in Thailand for foreigners would be hard to find.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The second was a question posed to me by a middle-aged Thai lady at my book launch event at Central Embassy earlier this month.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>She mentioned she was involved with a couple of expat groups and she was constantly seeing expats saying bad things or being negative about life in Thailand - and she wanted me to tell her the best thing about living here, as a way for her to counter these criticisms.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When one is here on holiday, it is very easy to list the positives of Thailand. The weather, the food, the girls (assuming the foreigner is a male and single…or possibly even if not single), the customer service, the islands, the nightlife and the low cost of everything - when compared to most ‘first-world’ destinations - are just some of the more obvious fantastic aspects of a trip to Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I generally do <strong>not</strong> believe in citing statistics or ‘evidence’ to support my arguments because so-called facts can be manipulated to suit any argument by selectively choosing time horizons or highlighting certain results over others and so on. However, if any evidence were required, apparently over 35 million tourists came to Thailand last year so by any measure, Thailand can be said to be a popular destination for tourists, especially for a country with a population of 70 million people.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So the positive case for Thailand as a holiday destination is not hard to make. However, one of the themes I explore in my book – Settling in Thailand – is the difference between coming to Thailand for a holiday and living here for work, retirement or other long-term purposes. &nbsp;So the answer to the lady’s question was not as easy to answer when the context was expat life, as compared to tourism. As an example, if I look at the positive factors listed above when on holiday here, not many survive the expat test.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Weather</strong> – going to work in 35-degree heat is not that much fun, not to mention that hanging out in a park or spending any time outdoors can be challenging. And that is before we get to flooding!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Food</strong> – how wonderful Thai food is - but how many expats have Thai food every day?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Girls / nightlife / islands</strong> – Cheap Charlies / poorly paid teachers rarely have the money to live the hedonistic life they had on holiday. And finding a ‘real’ relationship with a Thai partner requires effort, commitment, local language skills, understanding and acceptance of local culture etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Customer service</strong> – when on holiday everything goes swimmingly but real life requires other types of interactions such as setting up / ending mobile contracts, asking for refunds / replacements or making complaints, dealing with medical staff at hospitals, arranging for air conditioning servicing etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Without local language capability, these can be tricky at the minimum and at worst have potential for conflict or serious misunderstandings.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Low cost</strong> – if there is one myth the book seeks to bust, it is the “you can live in Thailand for less than $1,000 a month” myth.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In theory one can; in reality, it is usually possible at the expense of anything enjoyable about life and even then, only if the foreigner is not based in a big city and several other factors.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The reality is it is very, very easy to spend money in Thailand because it is so consumer-friendly, and as one old British ex-colleague said to me, Thai money can seem like Monopoly money in the hands of a foreign resident and it is very hard to keep in mind the value of daily spending.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The answer to the question of the best thing about Thailand for expats is, in my opinion, less to do with the above factors and more to do with intangible and subtle aspects of life in Thailand that only become apparent over time and crystal clear if and when the foreigner returns home and can place the Thailand experience in context.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Free to live your life</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Hence, when asked, I offered the answer: the best thing about life in Thailand is the freedom of lifestyle Thailand offers. Or to put it in an economics context, the libertarian nature of the economy and society in Thailand is the real, underlying aspect of life in Thailand that foreigners find so exhilarating - often without realising that is the real reason.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Life in Thailand for foreigners is enjoyable because they can live in a way they could never do back home. They can live without being judged or interfered with or have much social pressure.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As long as they stay within the law, they can do what they want in a country that is more permissive and laid back than back home. They are generally ignored by local people the more they choose to try to blend in and reduce their conspicuousness by speaking more softly, learning the language and checking their body language etc.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thailand life is based on a ‘live and let live’ principle – people do not question your behaviour or ‘poke their nose in’ anywhere near as much as in the West.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>People expect you to mind your own business and they return the favour by doing the same.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Libertarian</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>In terms of economics, again, the free market, libertarian way supply and demand interact is apparent to anyone who has lived here for any length of time. Where there is a demand for something, Thailand offers a solution.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, that solution seems unorthodox to an outsider at first but if works and helps meet the demand, Thailand lets people get on with it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So taxis can stop almost anywhere to pick up passengers, motorcycle taxis go the wrong way up the road (or even on the pavement!) to get to the destination quickly and where there are people, there are street vendors with goods to sell. These are three of hundreds of ways the Thai economy is organised to be libertarian, responsive and dynamic and long may it continue.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>One does not need to read Ayn Rand, or Milton Friedman, or Thomas Sowell, to get the point; just stepping out of one’s condo and experiencing life in Thailand is more than enough.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Foreigners often complain of the rules here but if one is fair, Thailand is often more flexible than back home.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Take opening a bank account for instance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Many foreigners struggle to open a bank account in Thailand and get frustrated, but from what I remember, opening an account back home required the same or more documentation, and from what I have observed, foreign workers in the UK are treated with more disdain by bank employees than here in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Not having proof of address is unacceptable in the UK even if there are good reasons for not having it - and ‘the rules are the rules’.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Thailand, with a bit of subtlety and the help of a Thai partner and being willing to try more than one bank in areas with large numbers of foreigners, usually yields a positive result. Thailand finds a way to allow common sense to prevail and allow business to flow smoothly. “Computer says No” is less of an issue here if the person enquiring speaks Thai, enquires politely, with humility and is willing to be flexible in return.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Of course, the flip side of the positive benefits of libertarianism is that the culture can seem more individualistic. One may assume everyone is out for themselves and a foreigner can find Thailand a lonely place at times.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Being left alone and having less social pressure than back home can be fantastic but on the other hand, ‘always being the foreigner’, as John mentioned in his interview can be tiring. Over time, expats often crave the familiarity of society back home, hence the expat network.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Similarly, the flip side of a free market and low regulation, common sense economy is the onus on the individual to take more precautionary measures himself, keep himself safe and not expect social or state protection as much as back home.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Thailand is doing just fine</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Foreigners constantly find themselves shaking their head in disbelief or bemusement at something they have observed in Thailand. From safety standards to traffic dynamics to just about anything, things can often be done in a seemingly haphazard way here. As the lady at the book launch mentioned - foreigners often go back home citing the reason that they “want to get back to civilisation!”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For expats who want to come to Thailand to ‘fix’ Thailand or act as a pseudo missionary or act as an enlightened superior condescending to the local population where they are going wrong, the best thing is probably to go back home. Thailand does not need a lecture from expats on what it needs to change – Thailand is doing just fine the way it is and if the foreigner does not like it…there is the obvious solution.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>For those foreigners who come here and stay for a while, the free market, libertarian, common sense, independent and laissez-faire characteristics of life in Thailand make life here so rewarding. These are the things that underlie the exhilaration they feel in the first few months or years they live here and are also the things they appreciate over the longer term when they have had time to evaluate their time here and compare to life back home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In his interview, John summarised these points perfectly. Some of the negative aspects he cited were more to do with where he was based (Pattaya) than anything else; living in Leicester Square does not represent life in the UK and neither does living in Las Vegas represent the US.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Regulation comes at a cost</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For me, to cite one trivial but everyday example, every time I hail a taxi, I am grateful I live here. Coming from the UK and having lived and worked in Singapore, I could not be more appreciative. In Singapore, admittedly a country with a dynamic free market economy, a more orderly approach of taxis only being allowed to pick up passengers at taxi stands means I would see empty taxi after empty taxi drive by on my way to the stand, only to then queue behind five people who can only be picked up one at a time before it came to my turn. Regulation certainly brings order but at the cost of convenience and slows life down to conform with the regulation.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The best thing about Thailand for expats? Just about everything. Many things work differently here; it does not mean they are wrong, they are just different.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The easy-going, go-with-the-flow, patient, non-judgmental, adaptable foreigner will always be welcome in Thailand. Thailand will evolve at its own pace and to suit Thai people, not expats.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Those who accept this will appreciate the truly fantastic country this is, however long their stay.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Stephen is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I’ve dealt with co-teachers who offloaded work to me. They put just a bunch of work on me without lifting a finger to help. They can end up stressing you out if you take it all too seriously.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’ve also been publicly corrected by co-teachers and I’ve had a co-teacher stand in front of the room and tell the students that what I was doing was wrong. Now this could be really humiliating to people, but I didn’t find it that humiliating at all because I guess I didn’t really take myself seriously. Funny how that works. You can’t shame a clown.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have also been told by co-teachers that no one attends my classes these days and I’ve also been pressured to make students attend despite systems in place that would prevent them from coming to my class, such as being graded by other teachers, having statewide exams, you name it, it all was a dis-incentive. I’m innocent I tell ya! They made me do it! I’m a pawn.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, the rift between the institutional imperative of the school itself versus the foreign teachers is really an odd one in many programs, especially in Asia and South Korea in particular. However, I will not say it’s wrong or that it’s terrible but I will say that you might encounter these kinds of businesses in Asia.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Bad businesses</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>You might encounter them somewhere else as well, but the point is that there are some businesses that are just inherently flawed (at least for your purposes). Sometimes, certain businesses are designed for a certain type of person (e.g. the backpacker, the tourist, the aspiring career teacher, the flunky, the criminal) but not for you. Kind of like your high school crush, she was meant for the quarterback, sorry bud.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Hindsight is 20-20 but there are ways you can research these programs to find out if they are ideal for you. There’s really nothing you can’t find on the internet. Why, I’m usually pretty shocked at what I find <em>about myself</em> as I’m searching for new opportunities to teach English! I’m telling you, it is all on Google! But don’t believe EVERY thing about me on Google. Especially, the bad stuff.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But actually, all businesses are inherently flawed. You’re never going to get a business that’s got it all perfectly correct so you’re going to have to take the good with the bad.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There are some businesses you’ll get into in Asia as a teacher where the best you can hope for is a good one year and then you leave either because the environment is just so toxic or because you are going to get burned out or maybe you’ll just get sick of living in a rural area. Maybe it becomes too monotonous. Maybe there’s no room for growth.&nbsp;There are many reasons. It’s like any other job, sometimes you need a fresh start, so go west young man!</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Planning your life</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But I will say that it’s also helpful to identify your career plan. Have mini goals and steps that will help you reach certain milestones. In life, a plan is always a good thing to have so you can kind of keep your eye on where you want to go and how you foresee your future. I’m not saying manifestation because I can’t really vouch for that, but it certainly helps to know what you’re getting into and having a clear sense of what your goal is. Kind of like planning a road trip but with more bathroom breaks.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>These are all things for you to consider and ponder as you move forward in the world. And for those of you who are just graduating from college, you have my sympathies because I recognize how difficult that could be because you’re probably going from one area in life&nbsp;to a completely new area. Welcome to the real world, sadly it does not get easier, unless you are rich.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Where you go will most likely&nbsp;be the complete reverse of everything that university life has ever told you. So, my sympathies to you and it will be difficult. But heck that’s why they made booze to drown your worries away for a few hours!</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;I’m not going to lie and sugar coat it. The work force is a challenging one and it’s not called work for nothing, but I will say this, you can learn it, you can get the hang of it, you can get the rhythm of it and in the end you’ll be fine because all the problems that you will ever have are totally solvable with you and you alone.

So, referring back to the question I asked, critical illness insurance would definitely be one of my top choices.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Why is critical illness insurance important?</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While it’s good to have outpatient benefits that cover minor diseases such as fever and flu, it’s the critical ailments that you should be looking out for. If you’re diagnosed with some form of critical illness, not only will you have to pay for the often exorbitant medical bills, but you may also end up having to take extra time off work to receive treatment, or even become unable to work. The costs of medication and loss of income can take a detrimental toll on your finances.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>You may argue that it is rather unlikely you will become critically ill since you are in good shape and maintain a healthy lifestyle. But, what about in twenty years’ time? No one can say for sure. Not to mention, there are also diseases that occur in perfectly healthy people, such as cancer.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is especially important for expats working in the Land of Smiles, as neither the Universal Coverage System (UCS) nor your employee benefits will likely cover the majority of medical expenses for critical illness.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>So what exactly is critical illness insurance?</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For those unfamiliar with insurance jargon, critical illness insurance is an insurance policy designed to pay out when you’re diagnosed with a critical or life-threatening illness. It is usually included as part of a more comprehensive life insurance or medical insurance policy but standalone critical illness plans are also available. So if you already have a general <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>health insurance</span></a> policy, you may consult your insurance company and consider topping it up with critical illness cover.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Virtually all critical illness insurance plans have a set list of illnesses they will pay out for, which at least includes cancer, stroke, heart attack, and coronary bypass surgery. On top of that, policyholders can also choose from a list of conditions offered by the insurer such as:</span></p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Deafness</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Loss of speech</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Chronic liver disease</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Major burns</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Bone marrow transplantation</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Occupationally acquired AIDS/HIV</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">And more</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>How does critical illness insurance work?</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Critical illness insurance pays out in a lump-sum at a predetermined time, for instance, two weeks after diagnosis or surgery. The time may vary by plan so you should check for specifics in your policy. While policyholders may use the money on whatever they deem suitable, they are commonly used to cover:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Medical costs and hospital fees</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Living expenses while they are unable to work</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Loss of income</span></li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\">Payment of mortgage or outstanding bills</li>\r\n	<li dir=\"ltr\"><span>Funeral costs should the insured pass away</span></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How much will critical illness insurance cost for me?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The cost of critical illness insurance depends on a whole host of factors, including your age, sex, health, recreational pursuits (such as smoking) and policy benefits. When you apply for this form of insurance,&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/insurers/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">insurers</a><span>&nbsp;will perform a rigorous underwriting process to evaluate your health conditions and even family history of disease in setting your premiums, if they decide to insure you.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What should I take note of when securing critical illness insurance?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>As with other forms of insurance, there are some points that you should pay attention to, such as reviewing inclusions and exclusions of the plans, and not selecting plans based solely on its premiums. Apart from this, there are some other aspects unique to critical illness insurance that\'s worth your attention.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While some critical illness insurance policies include guaranteed premiums, they are commonly valid for a set period only. Most insurance companies now reserve the right to increase premiums, but they also offer the option to reduce cover accordingly.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>You should also watch out for policy exclusions and definitions of illnesses. For example, some plans do cover AIDs, but only limited to those who acquire the disease at work or through blood transmission. Some cancers such as early-stage melanoma will not be covered largely because of its high recovery rate.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&nbsp;<span>The waiting period is another tricky part, which includes the waiting period before a claim can be lodged and the period for which you must survive an illness after diagnosis, which is usually up to one month.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In a nutshell, critical illness insurance is arguably one of the most cost-effective forms of insurance. Just by investing a standard amount of money each month, it can offer you and your family peace of mind and financial protection against critical or even terminal ailments in the long run.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><span>If you have any questions about health insurance in Thailand,&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">get in touch</a><span>&nbsp;with my team, or visit Pacific Prime Thailand\'s&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">website</a><span>,&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/blog/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">blog</a><span>, and&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/resources/guides/?campSource=AJARN-BLOG\">resources page</a><span>&nbsp;today.&nbsp;</span></p>',NULL,'2018-10-31 21:11:54',1,'2018-10-31 21:13:29','2018-10-31 21:19:29'),(32345,109,'Is teaching English the new restaurant job for actors?','teaching-english-new-restaurant-job-actors','Think about what you can do both for your students - and for yourself!','Teaching English is something that many people take for granted because they don’t realize how significant the role of an English teacher is.  The point is that you, the teacher, are impacting many people’s lives, and they will remember you for a very long time.','<p align=\"justify\">Many individuals with different backgrounds from the United States, Canada, and in Europe have greatly benefited from the migration and the wave of English speakers into Asia.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Whether they are a liberal arts graduate, an actor, or a performer—a category that I belong to—each of these individuals were able to teach the English language to their students and helped them be fluent and proficient even without a formal degree.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">As an artist, I found Asia to be one of the most uncannily supportive regions in the world. Asia, for me, is an encouraging place to pursue my interest and desire to be a performer of sorts, not just in the English class, but generally in putting up staged productions or starting another class for people who want to entertain or even create a venue for general interviews.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Many people in the performing arts profession have gone to Asia to teach English. In Asia, they have found teaching to be a very lucrative venture since it provides them a level of comfort in their living standards. This is something beneficial for them in order to grow in the other areas of their life, may it be in the entertainment industry itself or in their own personal projects that they want to work on.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\">Inaccurate sentiments?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">However, a lot of people have the connotation that English teaching in Asia is just for fun, glorified babysitting where the students are just being entertained by having fun and games. These sentiments, for lack of a better word, aren’t totally unwarranted but certainly can come off as a cliché given the stories that circulate the English teaching forums and the general trend towards teaching younger and younger students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">It is something that has been noted by many teachers all over the world and it\'s something that is often begrudgingly discussed if dealt with and endured. This is not to say that English teachers don\'t enjoy entertaining. They wouldn\'t be doing it if they didn\'t think it was fun and enjoyable, but sometimes there is in fact something more.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Given the nature of teaching in Asia, which adapts the entertainment part into the whole program, it seems sort of a cliché to refer to an English teacher as an “edu-tainer,” a composite word mixing education with entertainment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Such a statement might be partly true in the English teaching profession here because there are jobs that require less academic work and more of entertaining the students and making them feel good about themselves. It is an entirely different business, but cloaked under English teaching. Words are funny that way.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">In Napoleon Hill’s book, <em>The Law of Success</em>, he stated that one of the ways that you can become more successful is by doing more than what you are paid for. Fast forward to the present, that is still the kind of attitude that is expected by employers to every individual they hire (even me when I’m hiring someone!).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\">How artists benefit from teaching overseas</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">There are a lot of ways to incorporate your art experience into the classroom which can bring huge benefits to the life of students who need to learn the English language. Students learn more when they are having fun. That’s why it is important to always incorporate the fun aspect in teaching.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">But beyond learning, there is also an element of social engineering that is involved, a service where you’re helping to develop the society at large. I know this sounds exaggerated and idealistic, but hang on with me here as I try to explain my thinking. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\">Our impact on student lives</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">No one ever really sees the link between middle school and the rest of a person’s life, probably because we’re stuck with ourselves. But the impact that we make and the experience that we put in the classroom can provide a long-term effect in the lives of many students. Certainly, you won’t be liked by everybody in the classroom, but what matters most is the fact that you were able to impart some knowledge that will live on in their minds.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">This is something that people don’t recognize in the English teaching profession and something artists can truly capitalize on, especially actors. Actors are the prime reflectors (and also drivers) of how humans perceive the world and can very often be prototypes for people’s worldviews. Just think of the celebrity that you admire and that you most want to emulate.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">For example, in the book <em>Marketing to Leading Edge Boomers and Seniors</em>, by Dan S. Kennedy, we discover that many leading edge boomer females in the United States most resonate and identify with the following female celebrities: Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, and Sally Field.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Do you know an older woman who acts like any of these women on television? Chances are you do! These people give us blueprints for how to behave in life! Likewise, so does the English teacher!</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">The point is that you are impacting many people’s lives, and they will remember you for a very long time as an influential person. Your teaching will be etched into their young, impressionable minds, likely for the rest of their lives. This in turn will positively affect their whole self-image (if you’re doing your job correctly), sense of ego, and their confidence in the working world.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">This is not only a skill but an actual identity that you’re giving other people. You’re giving each person a new sense of who they are and what they can be and this entails a lot of responsibility on your part as the performer-teacher.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\">A unique position!</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Teaching English is something that many people take for granted because they don’t realize how significant the role of an English teacher is. Even if there is a language barrier, you are in a position to create and structure your classes in such a way that your students will see the benefit of English, will feel invited to learn English, and eventually they will adapt English as a second language <em>and as part of their identity!</em>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">That’s when you know you’ve really done it—when you’ve let people incorporate English into their entire being. There’s nothing more miraculous to behold than that, even in young children who seemingly don’t even know who they are yet!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Aside from influencing the lives of people, teaching English can also serve as a support to your art and can give you more dynamic experiences that you could use in your art. On top of that, it will also help you to generally become a better person by learning about the world that you live in because, in many respects, acquiring knowledge is not limited to just reading books, listening to a lecture, or making a phone call but often from the people you are surrounded by.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Even students can provide you some wisdom, regardless of what their age is. You’ll find even the youngest student can teach you something about life, if you’re open to it. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">So, if you’re an artist, consider teaching overseas. Reflect on it as a possible means of furthering and fueling your own business and creative endeavors. There is nothing wrong in teaching English, incorporating it into your life as a stepping stone in order to follow your dreams of artistic glory and self-expression. Consider it as a means of following your journey as an artist, while also being a provider of solutions to other people.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">There’s nothing more rewarding than that!</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\">Todd Persaud holds a BFA from New School University and an MA in Applied Sociology from William Paterson University.

She is a merchandiser for a high street store in the UK and has previously worked in boutique wedding stores. As you can guess she took all of the fashion awareness in my family and I’m way behind the trends. That being said I feel I still dress better than some TEFL teachers in Thailand.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Throughout my time here in Thailand I’ve seen some crimes against fashion which seemingly go unpunished. I can only imagine that Thai staff don’t want a foreign teacher to lose face if they have to ask if the teacher looked in the mirror before leaving home..&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Thailand is a hot country and of course it isn’t fun to be outside in the heat in a suit. Some teachers don’t even have AC in their classrooms and I do feel for them. However, nobody is saying teachers should be suited and booted like city slickers. There are a few instances where I’ve had to laugh or just shake my head at what I’ve seen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Shoes</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Probably the biggest fashion faux pas I see is a complaint against the men. Often teachers will wear half decent trousers and shirts and finish it off with a pair of tatty black sports shoes. They didn’t fancy buying dress shoes and felt a pair of old Adidas trainers would finish their look well. Most of the time these shoes have seen better days and the constant slipping on and off has left horrible, visible creases on the back of the shoes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Sure walking around in sports shoes is comfortable but it is pretty easy to see that it just doesn’t fit the teacher look.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The university student / mormon missionary look</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Crisp short sleeved white shirt, dark trousers and plain black shoes. Add a tie and you look exactly like a Thai university student or a Mormon missionary.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">In my view there’s nothing wrong with Thai university students or Mormon missionaries but it will certainly raise a few laughs from students and probably a change in the teacher\'s wardrobe.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The Tesco twins</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ll admit I was guilty of this. At my first job the other new male teacher and I didn’t have work clothes so had to go shopping. Unbeknownst to both of us we had gone to the local supermarket and picked up the same set of five work shirts and trousers to wear. We even had pretty similar shoes. The students loved pointing out to us that we had the same outfits.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">It’s happened before in other offices I’ve worked in when there’s been a big sale at the mall and teachers have picked up the same shirts. Although these aren’t fashion crimes they do cause laughs in the staff room. When you’re on similar salaries you often buy from the same stores. Currently it seems most of my office buy clothes from AIIZ or G2000.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Trendy but laughed at</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I once attended a meeting a few years back where a teacher was wearing a pair of trousers which were about 3 inches too short. I get there is a fashion for those kind of trousers which show a couple of inches of ankle but I thought they looked stupid for a teacher. I asked him if they were his little brother’s trousers and he wasn’t amused. The same teacher also had a habit of wearing bow ties to work. It got a laugh from his students but he thought they were laughing with him not at him. I checked and they were definitely laughing at him.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Too much on display</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">At one of my first jobs here in Thailand a parent complained that a female teacher had too much on show. This led to red-faced bosses not wanting to tell her this directly but to send a reminder of the dress code to all teachers. After a week of everyone falling in line with the dress code teachers went back to wearing what they were before. Management never brought up the issue again…&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">What dress code?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I look at Thai teachers and see them in perfectly pressed uniforms and they look super smart. Perhaps these uniforms aren’t overly fashionable but it’s hard to argue that staff look good. It seems that TEFL teachers don’t have to live up to the same high standards or maybe just don’t want to.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">My work shoes are a bit scuffed up and could do with cleaning. My bag is about four years old and falling apart in places. I wear odd socks most days. Anyone who knows me would never get fashion advice from me but I still feel I don’t look too bad as a TEFL teacher. As a group I think we’ve got a long way to go in the fashion stakes!&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

I was pretty nervous about teaching five and six year old students but in the end I have found something which I really enjoy.','<p lang=\"en-US\">When I started my new job I was scheduled to teach a class of five and six year old children. I won’t pretend that I wasn’t nervous about doing it but those classes were some of the most rewarding classes I’ve taught.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ve found some people reluctant to teach young students, especially male teachers, so I want to share my experience to encourage others to try teaching younger learners, especially when there may be bias against this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’ve heard some schools will try to get women to teach the youngest students and assign men older children and teenagers. I think this is an outdated practice. Teaching young students can also help you to improve as a teacher which is beneficial for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Teacher reactions</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">As the new teacher in the office, the rest of the team smirked at me having to do this undesirable class. All of the teaching staff, male and female, were as keen as possible to stay away from students that age. My ex-colleagues couldn’t imagine me teaching young children having come from an adults-only school previously.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Some people even mentioned that it would probably be better if a woman taught kids that young and it seemed strange that a man would do it. Thankfully not everyone is as out of touch when it comes to men teaching younger age groups. In fact the female teachers even told me they were glad they weren’t stereotyped by management and forced to take young learner classes whilst men took teenagers and adults.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I think I actually gained a lot of respect in the staff room for volunteering to teach that level for a second term as nobody else wanted to try teaching the youngest students. Teachers all have preferences for age groups and classes, that’s understandable.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Is it strange for a man to teach very young learners?</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">At that point I hadn’t thought it was strange for a male teacher to teach any age group. However, I remember I only had one male teacher before I went to secondary school. This was around 20 years ago so hopefully things have changed in the UK since. Perhaps not everyone’s attitudes have caught up though which is a shame.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Someone even mentioned to me that here parents have a lot of power in Thai schools and how would they feel about men teaching their young children? In all honesty I’ve had zero comments or issues from parents that they would not want a man teaching their children. As I said some people might just have conservative views of gender roles in the classroom and the upbringing of children.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">There are also lots of men who are highly qualified in early years development. There are a number of courses open to both male and female teachers who wish to specialize in teaching very young learners. If you are following the TEFL route then look at the TYLEC or CELTYL. If you are teaching in a traditional school then look at degrees in early years development.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Should you encounter management who insist women should teach young learners then perhaps question why this is the case. All staff members should be subject to the same hiring requirements regarding training, development and security checks. There is no reason why any teacher should be shoehorned into teaching a specific age group.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Concerns and worries I had</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I had a number of concerns about teaching such young students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Firstly I don’t have kids myself or any family of that age. I thought it would be hard to relate to kids that young. In the end I learned that they loved things that I knew. Pokemon were huge when I taught them so we had Pokemon team names, Pokemon stickers for all students and showed the cartoons during break time.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The kids also loved technology. I use Class Dojo with them which is a fantastic resource and requires input and feedback from the class which is great.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I also thought it would be hard to communicate with students that young but it was shockingly easy for them to improve and understand me. Young learners pick up new words and phrases very easily. Often during parents’ day it’s the students who translate to their parents!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I give huge thanks to the previous teacher who had started the school year with the class and set things off on the right foot. I must say that there were some words that the kids didn’t understand but they knew their routines and a lot of words – more so than most beginner adult students. I often find myself having pretty advanced conversations with five and six year old students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Teaching young learners, I was worried that I wouldn’t have fun and the kids would find me too serious. &nbsp; My previous adult students had said I was very serious and looked a little scary sometimes. Now the kids I teach bring out something different in me. I find myself laughing, joking and communicating better than when I was teaching adult students.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Five and Six year old students are honest in how they react, you know how they feel. You can also react easily to their emotions and plan classes accordingly.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Opportunities to learn and develop as a teacher</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I was lucky to take over from a teacher who had re-assured me that teaching young children was a breeze and would probably be more fun than other age groups. I observed him a week before I was due to start and was amazed at what I saw. The mixture of learning and games certainly made things fun.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The Thai teaching assistant also helped with behavior and any translating (there wasn’t much needed). The routines set up for the class helped and that would be a key theme running through my lessons with that group.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I quickly learned that teaching very young learners requires a lot of energy but it also energizes you at the same time. I also worked out that if you taught back to back classes of students under 8 years old you would be exhausted! These classes can be great fun but they certainly require a lot of preparation, concentration and determination.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I was lucky enough that my school had seven teachers in our branches teaching the same age group. Four were female, three male. We got together and shared materials, experiences and techniques. It certainly made my job easier.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">These were proper classes where students learned a lot, it certainly wasn’t a creche or babysitting service. I honestly feel that the teachers I worked with at the level were the most creative and dynamic I\'ve ever collaborated with. I use some of the techniques now with the slightly older students I teach (aged 7-9). From these teachers I’ve improved and learned more about arts and crafts, grading language and using online resources.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Take a chance</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I think that anyone who gets the chance to teach a different age group will find something they can learn. I was pretty nervous about teaching five and six year old students but in the end I have found something which I really enjoy.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Whatever your gender you should feel confident to teach students of any age.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Should we even bother?','Hunting down every error is hard on a student\'s ego, but also very time consuming for a teacher faced with a full class-load of papers. But there are ways around it.','<p>Have you seen those \'fact-perception\' memes - “what my mom thinks I do and what I really do”? They\'re fun. If you search for a version of the meme for \'teacher\', you\'ll come across ones like this:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/publicschool teacher.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Does this one ring true?. Do our students think all we do is scream and shout? I\'m not sure, but I do agree an inordinate amount of many teachers\' time is spent on paper work, particularly marking. I have spent many quiet weekends catching up on the week\'s marking. It\'s boring, thankless work, right? Should we even bother?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Marking helps</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Yes, says John Hattie, a researcher at Melbourne Education Research Institute. Hattie suggests that the feedback we give to students on their written work, if given well, <a href=\"https://www.visiblelearningplus.com/sites/default/files/Feedback%20article.pdf\">has twice the effect on learning than regular teaching</a>. If he\'s right, feedback on student work is incredibly powerful.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So what is marking if it is \'given well\'? Well, one response might be that a teacher should approach the students\' work diligently, and give feedback on the things that are wrong – both content and mechanics. For students to find out how to improve, the teacher should assiduously highlight what\'s wrong.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So, check out Cameron Diaz marking her students work in the movie \'Bad Teacher\'. In this clip, Cameron is in her \'diligent\' teacher phase, and is marking with serious intent. Not only that, watch how she focuses on both the content and mechanics of the students\' work.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZBOxKPHFP0o\" width=\"100%\"></iframe>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Marking \'well\'</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My god. It\'s a parody, sure, but whoever wrote this script really knew a thing or two about how not to mark: there is the problem of unmitigated negative judgments; calling students \'stupid\'; the problem of the infamous slaughterhouse effect. The slaughterhouse is what you get from using massive amounts of red on a student\'s manuscript. The more red there is, the greater the slaughter of the student\'s effort.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I remember at school peering vaguely at work teachers had marked. I could quickly gauge how poorly I\'d done by how much red the teacher had splashed across the page. It was usually not good, and so I seldom actually read any of the red blood stains. Without my active engagement in the teachers\' handiwork, Hattie\'s argument in favor of teacher feedback for my learning was fundamentally flawed. One wonders, really, how I got through school at all.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So if that is feedback given poorly, what\'s the opposite? For a quick response to this, have a look at this detailed blog <a href=\"http://www.evidencebasedteaching.org.au/crash-course-evidence-based-teaching/how-to-give-effective-feedback-to-your-students/\">explaining the implications of John Hattie\'s research</a>.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The trauma of writing</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>For now, though, allow me zoom in on just one particular aspect of marking: the focus on what\'s wrong. But first, a diversion to contextualize my point. I find writing tough. Writing blogs like this one is an real challenge for me: choosing a topic, deciding where to start, singling out a potential audience, finding the right tone. When the thing is written, there\'s the painfully irritating editing process which I inevitably get wrong.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>After it\'s published, comes the apprehension about its reception. I\'m fortunate that the Ajarn readers like you are kind. The truth is, though, by putting pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and expressing a view, you open yourself to judgement, evaluation and criticism. <a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/blogs/richard-constable/diverse-day-paradise\">The possibility of an adversarial response is real</a>. All up, committing writing is stressful, and it\'s no wonder that many people, including teachers, resist writing.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yet, as teachers we get our students to write – and rightly so, it\'s our job. But our students are writing in a second (or third) language. To do so, they face even greater obstacles.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I know that there is absolutely no way I could produce a viable essay or blog in any of my \'other\' languages. Let\'s admit, irrespective of quality, the students need a high five for even agreeing to write in English. After they\'ve finished writing, the students submit their work to their really nice, friendly teacher, who, upon picking up the red pen, transforms into Shezmu, the vindictive Egyptian god of blood, hunting errors in the underbrush of neophyte prose.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Building extraordinary writers</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Hunting down every error is hard on a student\'s ego, but also very time consuming for a teacher faced with a full class-load of papers. There are ways around it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a young trainee teacher all those years ago, I was told to correct a limited number of errors – perhaps 10, and ignore the rest. Yes, there are problems with this, but it reigns in the bloodthirsty error-hunting red pen.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alternatively, you could mark with a specific purpose – so if you taught the past tense, you focus only on that in your marking. You could use a correction code <a href=\"https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/writing-correction-code\">(like this one from the British Council)</a>\r\n	<a href=\"https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/writing-correction-code\"></a>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You could get students to peer-correct <a href=\"https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/peer-editing-correction\">(yep, like this idea from the British Council</a>\r\n	<a href=\"https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/peer-editing-correction\"></a>Or how about <a href=\"https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/feedforward/\">this very clever idea of \'Feedforward\'</a> from the Cult of Pedagogy podcast in which you give feedback before the student has finished their writing rather than afterwards.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ways of mitigating our marking load like these are useful, but the point I wish to make is that an exclusive focus on what\'s wrong with the students\' writing is, well, one-sided.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Back to the clip of Cameron Diaz: among the many things she is doing \'badly\' is her lack of appreciation of the students\' effort. While focusing on students\' weaknesses may help them learn, it undermines an already thin film of confidence in and motivation for writing. If we can take the time to identify things that are wrong, we can just as easily identify things that are right.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The benefits that emerge from appreciating a student\'s work, effort, imagination, ideas or contribution <a href=\"https://bjseminars.com.au/our-approach/appreciative-intelligence/\">are the basis of Tojo Thatchenkary and Carol Metzker\'s theory of \'appreciative intelligence\'</a> which they define as the capacity to see emerging potential.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This sort of appreciative approach stems <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-worth_theory_of_motivation\">from work in positive psychology and principles</a> from the fantastically relevant self-worth theory.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As teachers with red pens, the concept of appreciation is important. Seeing and appreciating what is right (an excellent imagination, for instance) instead of focusing only on what\'s wrong (say, poor use of articles and poor spelling) is important because by building on students\' strengths, we can encourage extraordinary writing, in spite of individual weaknesses.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>PS.

In addition to this, as many as 1 in 6 couples worldwide have trouble conceiving; a trend that is also mirrored in the Land of Smiles. While infertility is becoming a bigger issue here in Thailand, there are options available to couples looking to increase their chances of conceiving by detecting and treating any infertility issues early.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>To that end, today I\'ll be sharing some information on the most common fertility issues in Thailand, as well as whether <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/plans/health-insurance/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>health insurance</span></a> covers costs related to infertility investigation and treatment.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>4 most common fertility issues in Thailand</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There\'s no one single reason as to why people need fertility treatment. It can be caused by many different reasons, the most common of which include:&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>1. Endometriosis</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/endometriosis#what-is-it\">Endometriosis</a><span>&nbsp;is a health condition in which the tissue that forms in the lining of the woman\'s uterus grows outside of their uterine cavity. Hormonal fluctuations during a woman\'s menstrual cycle affect the misplaced tissue, causing it to grow, thicken, and break down.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Over time, the tissue that has broken down will become trapped in the pelvis area, causing irritation, severe pain during menstruation, and fertility issues.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The symptoms of endometriosis can be quite similar to other conditions like ovarian cysts, so an accurate diagnosis is important. The&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/getting-diagnosed-endometriosis\">only definitive way</a><span>&nbsp;to diagnose endometriosis is by a laparoscopy, which is a surgical procedure that involves inserting a camera into the pelvis to look for signs of endometriosis. Once it\'s been diagnosed, the tissue can be removed during the laparoscopy.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">2. Polycystic ovarian syndrome</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affects around&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.womenshealth.gov/a-z-topics/polycystic-ovary-syndrome\">1 in 10 women</a><span>&nbsp;of childbearing age. The condition is caused by an imbalance of reproductive hormones, which in turn creates issues in the ovaries. More specifically, this hormonal imbalance means that the egg may not be released or developed as it should during ovulation, thus causing missed/irregular menstrual periods. Irregular menstruation can lead to infertility, as well as the development of cysts.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There\'s no single test to diagnose PCOS. Typically, diagnosis of the condition will involve your doctor checking your medical history, conducting a physical exam, and administering tests (e.g. pelvic ultrasound).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>PCOS is one of the most common, but also most treatable, causes of infertility issues in women. Medications are available to treat PCOS, and there are also a range of options that can help increase your chances of conceiving if you have the condition, such as IVF if medication does not work. &nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">3. Uterine fibroids</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>A condition that affects&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://fibroids.com/blog/can-get-pregnant-fibroids-risks-baby/\">20 to 40 percent</a><span>&nbsp;of women at least once in their lifetime, fibroids are muscular tumors that usually develop within the walls of the uterus, or sometimes outside the uterine wall, or even in the uterine cavity.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most fibroids don\'t cause any symptoms, but some women <a href=\"https://www.womenshealth.gov/a-z-topics/uterine-fibroids\"><span>can experience</span></a> frequent urination, lower back pain, pain during sexual intercourse, heavy bleeding, or enlargement of the lower abdomen. Depending on where they\'re located, uterine fibroids can also <a href=\"https://fibroids.com/fibroid-symptoms/fibroids-and-infertility/\"><span>block the Fallopian tubes</span></a>, making successful implantation unlikely or impossible.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Diagnosis of fibroids typically involves imaging tests (e.g. ultrasound) to confirm whether or not you have fibroids. Sometimes, surgery (e.g. laparoscopy) will be required to know for sure if you have the condition.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Those who have fibroids and are trying to conceive should discuss with their healthcare provider whether the fibroids are located in places that might prevent them from doing so, or in places that might affect/interfere with the pregnancy. If so, surgical and non-surgical treatment options are available.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>4. Low sperm count and poor sperm quality&nbsp;</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When couples are encountering difficulties conceiving, unfortunately our society is such that the woman is typically assumed to be the only one with infertility problems. However, male infertility contributes to about <a href=\"http://americanpregnancy.org/infertility/male-infertility/\"><span>30 percent</span></a> of all infertility cases, and male infertility alone accounts for around 1 in 5 of all cases.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>The vast majority of male infertility cases are caused by poor sperm quality and low sperm count, which are are both diagnosed via semen analysis. As there are a whole host of underlying reasons (e.g. medical conditions, lifestyle factors) behind why men have low sperm count and poor sperm quality, treatment will depend on the cause of their infertility issue. Should no underlying cause be found, couples may resort to Assisted Reproductive Treatments (ART) to increase their chances of getting pregnant.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Does my health insurance cover infertility investigation and treatment?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Infertility tests and treatments can be expensive in Thailand, so it\'s a good idea to double check whether your health insurance plan covers this type of care. Typically speaking, only the more comprehensive international health insurance plans will offer coverage for infertility investigation.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another thing to be aware of is that infertility can be quite a complex issue when it comes to insurance. It can be hard to prove whether infertility is a pre-existing condition or not, potentially leaving the policyholder feeling frustrated if their insurance provider deems it as such.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>As for fertility treatments like IVF, plans that cover this type of care will usually impose a number of restrictions on this particular benefit, such as long waiting periods, or the requirement that you also obtain&nbsp;</span><a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/maternity-insurance/?campSource=ExpatLiving-SG\">maternity insurance</a><span>.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>If you have any questions about health insurance and infertility coverage in the Land of Smiles, feel free to <a href=\"http://pacificprime.co.th/contact-us/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>get in touch</span></a> with my team at <a href=\"http://pacificprime.co.th/?campSource=AJARN-Blog\"><span>Pacific Prime Thailand</span></a> today.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>\r\n	<br>\r\n</p>',NULL,'2018-11-15 08:50:46',1,'2018-11-15 08:50:50','2018-11-15 08:50:50'),(32353,102,'We are family','we-are-family','I play piggy-in-the-middle while the family feuds go on all around me','Here in Thailand, family is supposed to be everything, and quite often that is the case.

Marriage is no longer sacred; and whatever happened to sitting down for tea or dinner and chatting about how everyone’s day has been?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In Thailand it is different though. Here, family is supposed to be everything, and quite often that is the case. But what happens when two members of the same family have a serious falling out? What side will the family take, and does it even matter who is right and who is wrong?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the case of the Naenudon family, I was about to find out the answer, whether I liked it or not.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A few days after relocating to Pla’s house, we paid a visit to the Kalasin police station to file charges against Yae Dee for attempted murder. Pla came with us, as she knew one of the more senior police officials; in fact, she cut his hair once a month. She was a talented hair dresser, and most of Kalasin’s high society (or Hi-So as they say in Thailand) would drop in for their regular dose of gossip and short back and sides.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once she mentioned his name to the policeman at the front desk, we were soon ushered into an air conditioned office and offered cool water whilst we waited. Khun Paiboon soon appeared and, once the pleasantries had been exchanged, we got down to the reason why we had requested his audience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Khun Paiboon listened intently and scribbled furiously as Jum talked him through the events leading up to and including the attack. His expression didn’t change once; it was as if Jum were describing a recipe for Tom Yum Goong, he was that animated. When she finally finished, Khun Paiboon scribbled for another minute and then looked up with a beaming smile.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>He spoke rapidly and I could only pick up the odd word here and there, but basically, the gist was this:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>1. He would issue a warrant for Yae Dee’s arrest</p>\r\n\r\n<p>2. The local Ban Mai police would then arrest her</p>\r\n\r\n<p>3. Witnesses would be called in to verify what happened</p>\r\n\r\n<p>4. She would be either charged and sentenced, or fined.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Wait - fined?? As if this was a bloody parking ticket! Apparently we had the power to choose whether she went to jail or was hit with a fine. I liked the idea of both punishments being meted out, but apparently they were exclusive.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When we returned from the station we found bitch number one and two waiting for us in the salon. Instead of showing concern for their elder sister, they had faces like thunder and let rip with a stream of expletives so vile that even a passing monk was shaking his head as he scurried out of earshot. These two women were berating my wife for even thinking of going to the police. After all, this was a family matter and the family would deal with it! I had real issues with their attitude, and was about to tell them where to go, but Jum stepped up and explained, in her awesome no-nonsense tone, what was going to happen.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They listened but I could sense the hatred building in in them. Just exactly what had Jum done to her sisters to make them quite so hideous? A few weeks ago, before the fish and spider debacle, we had found out that my wife’s name had been removed from the Naenudon home. This was an act of spite from Bitch #3, and the consequences were far reaching.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Without her name on the property, Jum couldn’t have an ID card. Without an ID card, Jum couldn’t work; she couldn’t rent a house, a car or a motorbike. She couldn’t even renew her Thai passport. At the time of discovering this, we needed a bank account and in order to open one, you needed… yes, an ID card! Bitch #2’s husband, poor man, was a policeman, and because of this association we’d been able to open a basic account with Bangkok Bank. So long as he would be so kind as to act as a reference, there would be no problem. Except Bitch #2 wanted something in return. Not much, just 10,000 baht, a bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label and a load of cigarettes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>When you consider that 10,000 baht is more than her husband would make in a month, you kind of get the idea of what sort of person she really was. They saw us as cash cows, nothing else. But money doesn’t buy loyalty, and we were finding this out.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They had told Jum that not a single person would bear witness to the attack. Without a witness, there would be no case and we’d be lucky to get a single baht for our troubles. I wasn’t that surprised really, but the enormity of the whole screw-up had finally dawned on me. We’d travelled halfway around the globe to stay with THESE people?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Really??</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tom was pretty upset; he wanted to know why his Mum’s family were such lowlife. For myself, I needed to get this justice sorted out before we could progress with any other plans.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The next day we travelled to the district police station and we were met with total disinterest. It transpired that several of the officers were old friends of Yai Dee’s, imagine that! They advised us that they already knew of the case and would not be pressing charges. They practically laughed us out of the station!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pla kindly agreed to drive us back to the scene of the crime and I was rather looking forward to confronting the person who had all but destroyed our family. Jum warned me not to do anything violent; she knew I had a temper. But what was the worst that could happen? I knew that if I did harm a hair on her head, there would be a queue of ready witnesses at least a mile long. So by my thinking, I may as well be hung for a Yai Dee as for a lamb…</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Before the showdown that I had been dreaming about, we stopped off at the family home. Jum was heavily strapped up and as we left the car, her mother looked over and didn’t show one ounce of concern. In fact, her face was fairly similar to Bitch Numbers 1 and 2: hatred.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apparently the news had spread and even the two dogs looked agitated as we endured a stream of abuse that left me in no doubt as to our position in this whole terrible mess: it was all our own fault; if we’d only stayed back in the UK, this would not have happened! – typical Thai logic.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’d heard stories about when a foreigner and a Thai experienced a road traffic accident; the foreigner would always be blamed because, if he had only stayed in his country, the accident would not have happened. So by this logic, the whole disaster would not have happened had we stayed in UK, or even India for that matter.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>But we were family – at least that should count for something, surely?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Apparently not. Yai Dee was also family, and in their eyes she was more important.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I’d had just about enough of this crap, and started walking towards the side road where our house was being built; I wanted to see Yai Dee. Jum tried calling me back, but by now Tom had joined me, and as we left the main road he asked me:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘What are you going to do, Dad?’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I had no idea, but it wasn’t going to be very nice. Then something altogether weird happened.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Have you ever noticed that when the world and his wife are against you, everyone else seems to jump on the bandwagon? We were passing a small field where about twenty children aged between 8 and 15 were having a kick about. They noticed us and stopped their game – we were far more interesting.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Bok See Da! Bok See Da! Bok See Da!’ they all chanted as the mini-pack approached us. They were using the Isaan dialect to call us ‘Foreigners’.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The literal translation was actually ‘Guava’. The Thai guava has a white flesh that has been compared to our pasty European skin. The term ‘Bok’ was a very derogatory particle and wasn’t exactly what Tom and I wanted to hear right now. We marched on regardless and just two side roads away from our destination I noticed a large stone whiz past my head. We stopped and another stone, this time larger and closer, smashed onto the road. We were under attack.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I turned around to see if it was the ‘would be’ footballers but they had returned to their game. As a third stone actually made contact with my leg, I noticed a very strange sight to our left.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Inside a garden, under some large trees, there was a wooden cage. Contained within this cage was a semi-naked man who looked pretty upset. I had the urge to throw the stone back in his direction but Tom stopped me. ‘Dad, he’s probably crazy, let’s go!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I agreed and within two minutes we had reached Yai Dee’s front door.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I noticed the bloody boundary posts had been moved even further back; it seemed our decent-sized garden was now a footpath for termites that had to squeeze themselves into the five or six inches of land around our house.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As I knocked heavily on the door I also realised that all building work had stopped; our industrious workforce was nowhere to be seen. After a few minutes it was clear that nobody was going to answer our knocking, so we went round the back and I looked through the kitchen screen door. Either Yai Dee was hiding somewhere or she was simply not home.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We walked back to the family home and Jum told us she had just discovered that Yai Dee had taken off the previously day. Apparently the police had advised her to ‘do one’ and she had followed their instructions. Jum’s mother had explained to her the way that things were going to be.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Phil, nobody will help us!’</p>\r\n\r\n<p>So the family had ruled in favour of the old cow who had now absconded and here we were again, at the bottom of the Naenudon food chain. But it wasn’t all bad news; they had agreed to pay the grand sum of 50,000 Thai baht to help with the situation. Bitch #2 also had some ‘good’ news. She could sell our partially built house. The price had yet to be agreed, but she knew someone who didn’t mind living next to a machete-wielding old banshee – and obviously we couldn’t go and live there now.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We’d spent around 200,000 Thai baht on materials, labour and land.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jum said that we’d think about it, and Pla suggested that we make our excuses and leave.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A little while after we left Ban Mai Chai, Jum quietly sobbed and asked nobody in particular why her family hated her so much? Even Pla was reduced to tears, and I felt more anger than I had thought possible as I tried in vain to comfort my wife.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the next few weeks we did our best to return to normality. Tom was getting Thai lessons every evening and I started to look for work. We found a small townhouse and after about three weeks staying at Pla’s house, we finally said goodbye to her kind hospitality and moving into a two-up-two-down in a little lane called Moo Ban Mai Thai. The neighbours were a curious bunch, and within an hour of our moving in a small welcoming party appeared and invited themselves in. They were mainly interested in why a white man with a Thai wife and a ‘luk krung’ (halfblood) had decided to move into their neighbourhood.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>They also asked about Jum’s injury, and after twenty minutes or so they had brought round enough food for a street party. You see, Thai people aren’t all like Jum’s family. They listened in amazement as Jum re-enacted the machete incident and I could tell that they were dumbstruck when they heard about the treatment we had to endure afterwards.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We slept well that night, and when I awoke I saw that Jum was already up. I heard the familiar voices of Bitches #1 and #2. About ten of Jum’s extended family stood outside our new home, and they looked as if they meant business. Apparently it was time for them to pay the piper, and I looked on as Jum counted the money. On top of the 50,000 Thai baht from Yai Dee, there was another 150,000 for our ‘home’. This was closure, and we would just have to deal with it.

Jum looked concerned, and handed over 2,000 Thai baht from our little nest egg. I couldn’t believe it! Despite being treated like a piece of detritus, my wife was now showing the very compassion that had made me fall for her all those years ago. Her kindness was met with a mixture of disbelief and mild scorn. Bitch #1 must have sensed some weakness, and seized this opportunity to ask for a short term loan.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>‘Ee Kwai – Bai! <em>(Get lost, you water buffalo&nbsp;</em>– only in harsher terms!)’ Jum made short work of the cheeky request and I laughed inwardly as the rest of the throng sniggered at the spurned sister.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As we turned and went back into the townhouse, I wondered how she could still be anything but cold towards her mother.

Working at Christmas','bah-humbug-working-christmas','Surely a foreign teacher doesn\'t have to work on the 25th December!','For some reason I had just presumed Christmas Day would be a day off for foreign teachers. It was only around three weeks before the big day that I was reminded that I was expected to be at work.','<p lang=\"en-US\">I’m not someone who loves Christmas but I do enjoy the time off work, seeing family and eating a load of food. Unfortunately, a number of new arrivals to Thailand will soon be finding out that they will be expected to report for duty on December 25th.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The first year I arrived, I was one of these teachers facing a 6.00 am alarm and a full day at work on Christmas Day. For some reason I had just presumed it would be a day off for foreign teachers. It was only around three weeks before the big day that I was reminded that I was expected to be at work.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Happy bloody Christmas</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Admittedly I probably didn’t have the best attitude about working Christmas. The whole of December had been focused on doing Christmas activities with all my classes. I was sick of the sight of DIY Christmas cards and letters students had written to Santa as a writing activity. I had also spent a couple of weeks preparing a Christmas performance with the other foreign teachers in the school. I certainly wasn’t merry and at 6.00 am on the big day I just thought about getting through it the best I could.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Arriving at school that day I was hit with the realization that the students were more excited about Christmas than I was. A good number of them had Santa hats or tinsel wrapped around their bags. On gate duty that morning I had to say “Happy Christmas!” about 1,000 times. Each time I said the phrase I had a feeling of WTF am I doing working today of all days. Sure I know that many people do work Christmas or other important days, especially if they live in a foreign country - but it hit me hard.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">After gate duty I had to go get ready for the Christmas performance. Nobody really wanted to do it. I was an elf. I believe there are photos out there, hopefully I’ll never get to see them. The performance had to be fun and help the students to learn English. They all learned that day that I was talent-less in the acting field but that I was good at hiding behind others and letting them do most of the performing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Activities</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The week before Christmas, the head of our department said we should do some special Christmas activities on 25th December to make it more special for the students. The problem was, as I said earlier, the whole of December had been based on Christmas activities. I’d almost have preferred to do a normal lesson as I didn’t want to do Christmas word searches or think about turkey, crackers or Christmas pudding. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I’d actually been sent a box of sweets from my family for Christmas Day and I decided to take them in to share with the other staff. Eating fancy sweets, chocolate coins and Terry’s Chocolate Orange is what Christmas is all about! Eating lunch in the school cafeteria is not what Christmas is about…. The school food was 25 baht and it tasted like it was overpriced. Eating fried rice for lunch on Christmas Day was a let down. Being located in the middle of nowhere, we didn’t have an option to go out for Christmas lunch either.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">Surreal</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I think by the end of the day all the foreign teachers were itching to get out and head into town to at least get something good to eat for dinner. Most of us finished by around 3,00 pm but as per school rules had to wait until 4.00 pm before we were allowed to leave. As soon as the clock struck four, we all traveled into Bangkok to get a meal together. It was good to do this but as we had to be up early the next day, we were heading back home by 9.00 pm. None of us felt like getting into the party spirit.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">The whole Christmas experience was surreal. Working that day, eating non-Christmas food, the hot weather and missing out on family traditions were all big hurdles to enjoying the day. It was one of the reasons I looked at changing to a job where Christmas was a holiday. There are lots of jobs where you can get Christmas Day off if you want to travel home to see family or celebrate it here in style.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">For those of you coming up to your first Christmas in Thailand and facing the prospect of work I hope it goes well. You’ll feel sad at times, missing family and friends from back home, but hopefully as a group with other teachers and friends you’ll get through it OK.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

If you don’t do this, then people want to use your sense of importance against you.','<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Managing the politics involved in teaching requires you to just admit that you know nothing.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Pretend that you are an alien from outer space. You have no idea how to teach. You have no idea how the system works and you need help at all times. If you don’t do this, then people want to use your sense of importance against you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">At first they will flatter you and hold you to high expectations. They will give you compliments like, “Oh, what a great teacher you are, how pedagogically wonderful you are.” And then when the one bad thing comes up, they point the finger at you and say, “What happened? Are you slipping now?” It’s like a strategy for some people to maintain control, humiliate you, and try to make you kind of lose your sense of self. Similar to parenting or an abusive relationship, so be on your toes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">This is why I say to come into the school not knowing anything. You don’t know how to teach. Whatever you learn doesn’t mean anything anyway. The TEFL schools are just a business, they probably just gave you a piece of paper. Play dumb and people expect less so your average can be seen as exceptional. Smart right?</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">So, the good news about that is that if someone ever chose to challenge you, you just say, “I don’t know, teach me please. I don’t know.” And if someone tries to put more work on you, you could just say, “Well, I really didn’t know how to do this. So, you have to really help me.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">You\'re only human</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">And that’s true. I mean that really is true. You don’t have to be that one teacher who has it all figured out because no one has it all figured out. That’s impossible. So be honest <em>and safe</em> and just admit that you have no idea what’s going on. You have no idea how you got to South Korea… probably it was the wind. <em>Mea culpa mea culpa mea culpa!&nbsp;</em>It’s a great way to make it seem like you are working hard without working hard.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">If you think about it, knowledge doesn’t really even mean anything. It just kind of comes in and out of your head. A lot of the things that we gained in school, we end up losing anyway. Most of it we end up losing. We forget the facts. We don’t remember things. We need to constantly refer back. The mind is a sieve. Don’t fight it, it’s a losing battle. Just accept it and tell your superiors that you need to be re-trained (again). If you can keep them assisting you it’s just less work and when you do something alone it looks good on you and them!</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Need references? Ask Byron Katie about it, or Gangaji, Or Eckhart Tolle. Go to your boss and tell him or her, “Don’t blame me, Eckhart Tolle says I should live in the present.” Passing the buck always works for newbies in any position. It’s just good business.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Acting dumb</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Really, you may come across as stupid in this example, but you’ll at least be able to save face, which goes a long way in life, in Asia. Plus they already expect less since you are an outsider making any victory even better in their eyes.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Everything that we gain, we lose in the end. So it makes perfect sense for you to just go into the school saying, “I don’t really know anything, so teach me something. Teach me how to teach, please. I’m here, I’m the foreigner and let’s make the best of it. Teach me.” They feel smarter for teaching you and if you do it right they will feel better about themselves while at the same time making less work for you. Win-Win!</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">And that’s not to say that you don’t use your strategies that you learned in your TEFL program. Or that you don’t read books to give you ideas, or go to elllo.org and mooch off the videos for at least 6 months without anyone ever asking you if you changed up your lessons to make them more relevant. These are all a given! &nbsp;Just learn to work smarter by playing dumb, heck it’s worked for U.S. leadership for the last fifty years.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Obviously, you still have to work within the system you’re given. If they give you a textbook, you use the textbook. If they give you PowerPoints, you use the PowerPoints. And if you’re tasked with the responsibility of doing something from scratch or creating something new, you can just say, “I don’t really know how to do this and I’m going to ask around. Who should I ask?”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Saying a little “I don’t know,” every once in awhile never hurt anyone. Try it some time, you’ll see it takes the pressure off of being right all the time. And who doesn’t want that? It’s why most people have mental breakdowns, no one is perfect and if you acknowledge that early you save face and have less expectations.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">The power game</h3>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">And of course, the bonus is that you don’t even need to fight as much. Power goes to the person who admits they have nothing to lose and nothing to grip and hold on to.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">It’s frightening for many teachers who witness this for the first time because they want their view of life as a reckless horrible competitive place to be validated! They might even, deep down inside, want to play the game with you and try to dethrone you and make you look foolish in the work setting.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">The beauty of this is that there’s nothing they can do. You’re like Teflon. &nbsp;When you don’t even care, when you’ve got the Buddha nature on your side, you can’t lose! It’s like being a mobster without the crime!</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">This is the single best way that I have discovered for rising above workplace hostility and coming out on top. And it doesn’t even require dopamine (as far as I know). Imagine that!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Natural is always the best way to go, but sometimes alcohol helps!</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p align=\"justify\" lang=\"en-PH\">Todd Persaud holds a BFA from New School University and an MA in Applied Sociology from William Paterson University.

These can be the kiss of death in your job search.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><u>Here’s the tip</u>: &nbsp;have a friend or colleague proofread your resume and cover letter. Our <a href=\"https://www.craftyourcontent.com/proofreaders-improving-content/\">brain tricks us</a> into thinking what we are reading is correct. It allows us to read what we think we should see on the page instead of actually reading the text word for word and letter by letter.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you’re like just about everyone else — and can read this message — you’ll need to have other people proof your prose.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src=\"https://cdn.ajarn.com/media/uploaded-files/legacy/blogs/powermind.jpg\" style=\"width: 1440px;\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib\"></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Can Your Resume Be Read in 6 Seconds?</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>That’s about how much time a recruiter will typically spend on one. Resumes aren’t read; they’re scanned. The <a href=\"https://www.englishatvantage.com/create-power-resume\">Power Resume</a> format gets rid of the “objective statement” — what you want. We employ a summary that tells the hiring authority <strong>what you offer</strong>. In about 60 words or six seconds.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Do Your Research</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Got an interview lined up? So find out everything you can about the school. Google them. Go to their website. Read everything under “About Us.” &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s not enough to know what they do; you have to know what they\'ve done lately. Check if they have a Facebook page or other social media. &nbsp;Scroll down their timeline to get a sense of the recent activities. And if you know who you are interviewing with, see if they have a LinkedIn account. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You want to get a sense of their mission — who they are, what they do and what they’re trying to achieve. The more you understand that, the more intelligent you’ll sound during the interview.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Dress for Success</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>While it may sound obvious, it’s important for the interviewer to be able to picture you as part of the team. So dress for interviews like you would on the first day of school. &nbsp;The buyer—the school’s hiring authority—is making a purchase decision in hiring you. Help reduce their risk by looking like they could present you to your future students’ parents. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Appreciate Thai Ways</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Show some understanding for the basic Thai expressions such as knowing how to wai and say “Sawadee” and watch others to know if you should take your shoes off when enter a building (or noting the scores of shoes on the outside shoe rack.)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It also important to keep smiling and never ever get angry. If you lose your cool in Thailand, you’ve lost, no matter how right you are.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>There’s no need to master Thai, but a few key words go a long way. Thais are super polite. Let them handle the rest as they educate you to their world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Pound the Pavement</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>With today’s digital devices, in just a few clicks you can submit your resume and cover letter by email. All that’s great, but because it’s so easy that too many applicants think their job is done. &nbsp;Why not follow-up with a phone call? It’ll help you stand out—and may provide you will valuable information.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Even better: why not drop in to the school itself with extra copies of your resume in hand? &nbsp;Again, you will differentiate yourself from the herd. Just ask the reception for the English department and you may be suddenly sitting in front of someone who can recommend or even hire you.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A living, breathing teacher is much easier to evaluate and remember than a paperless resume sent through a faceless email message.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>No appointments are often needed. And if they’re busy, simply schedule to come back when they are free.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A lot of great jobs are rarely advertised — they’re found through good research. Today, networking by social media can be particularly effective, but don’t ignore tried and true old fashioned face-to-face meetings.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach Your References</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Most job candidates simply ask people to be references for them and get their contact details. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>That’s a start, but there’s much more you can do.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Coach your references. &nbsp;Many will only know you from one of the places you’ve worked. Send them an <em><strong>updated copy of your resume</strong></em>—in a thank you note—so &nbsp;they can talk more intelligently about you—as well as to refer to other experience points where they did not even know you.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>It\'s important that you maintain your relationships with influential people in your career. Keep these connections fresh so that you can call upon them when you need them.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>You’re a TEFL Grad — Show it!</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Try to think of some way to bring evidence of your skills to the interview. Take in copies of your best lesson plans to show how you’ve been professionally trained to develop a classroom strategy that makes for a highly successful lesson. It could also be used if a demo class is required.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ‘communicative approach’ to language teaching is being adopted into many Thai schools by a successful multiyear project led by The British Council. &nbsp; There may be opportunities to talk about the ESA or other communicative methodologies. Review your TEFL terms, how you approach classroom management and be prepared how to discuss why it’s not good to use Thai in the classroom.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Thank You</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two magical words. &nbsp;In the hundreds of interviews I’ve done, I can count the <em>Thank You&nbsp;</em>letters/emails I received afterwards on one hand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanking your interviewer for their time through an email isn’t just polite. It also demonstrates follow-up on your part. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Additionally, you can re-answer a question that you think you didn’t handle as well as you could have during the actual interview. &nbsp;(Guess which answer will be remembered.)&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Your <em>Thank You Note</em> will also keep your name <strong>top of mind</strong>, i.e. ‘remembered’. &nbsp;That’s important in jobs with many applicants.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Kevin Cullen is the Jobs Coach at Vantage TEFL Certification.

PM2.5 dust hit the dangerous level of 72-95 micrograms per m3 (compared with the WHO guideline of an annual average of no more than 10 micrograms per m3).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>For those who are not familiar with PM2.5, they are tiny toxic particulate matter that are not visible unless seen under a microscope, and measure less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter.

However, this has changed when the Pollution Control Department (PCD) announced that they would start including this indicator in the Air4Thai App last month.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Causes of air pollution</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While <a href=\"https://www.pacificprime.co.th/blog/2018/10/29/air-pollution-in-southeast-asia-and-its-health-impacts/\"><span>the causes of air pollution</span></a> in Thailand are multifold, as with those in other countries, the growing emission of poisonous gases from vehicles and factories accounts for a large proportion of air pollution.

For example, a high level of urban sprawl may contribute to higher concentrations of air pollutants, poor ventilation, and the urban heat island (UHI) effect.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Interestingly, contrary to popular belief, population density is negatively associated with concentrations of PM2.5. This is because more centralized urban areas exhibited less dependence over automobiles, and shorter traveling distances.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Health impacts of air pollution</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">People constantly exposed to serious air pollution, in the long run, will be vulnerable to a number of health risks, such as:</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>Asthma</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Asthma is one of the most common types of respiratory ailments. <a href=\"https://www.healio.com/pediatrics/allergy-asthma-immunology/news/online/%7Bac1b1256-db52-4f25-b567-65aeb29bb2c5%7D/air-pollution-causes-millions-of-asthma-related-ed-visits-around-the-world\"><span>Research</span></a> has shown that emissions caused by human activity resulted in approximately 37% of ozone-influenced asthma-related ED visits and 73% of asthma-related ED visits.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span><strong>Cardiovascular disease</strong></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tiny particles less than PM2.5 can inflame and constrict your blood vessels, thereby increasing your blood pressure.

It is found that hazy days have a very adverse impact on mortality associated with mental and behavior disorders.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><span>Possible solutions to air pollution</span></h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This November, the <a href=\"http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30358029\"><span>government</span></a> has devised stricter monitoring of air pollution and prevention measures during the haze season in the North and in Bangkok. These efforts are aimed at lowering air pollution at its source, including restrictions on the movement of trucks in the city center, a burning ban for this haze season in the North, and collaboration with neighboring countries to mitigate the transboundary haze problem.</p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Aside from stricter environmental regulation and effective enforcement of those laws, the government should also explore alternative solutions for energy production in the long run.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>As a matter of fact, Southeast Asian countries have their own edges when it comes to new energy development thanks to their rich renewable energy resources. For instance, Thailand is well known for its abundance of solar insolation, and some coastal areas in Thailand are ideal spots for wind turbines with reasonable wind speeds.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Get yourself medically and financially protected from air pollution</h3>\r\n\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Of course, neither the new measures from the government or the new energy revolution can solve the deep-seated problem of air pollution overnight.

It’s not going to kill you.','Thai students actually really appreciate having foreigners there doing something such as gate duty. Moaning about it makes you look a bit pathetic.','<p lang=\"en-US\">The end of November saw a topic discussed on the <a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/AjarnDotCom/\">Ajarn Facebook page</a> which prompted TEFL teachers in Thailand to take up keyboard arms against a Thai teacher who had commented on an article. I’m of course talking about the scandal – Gate Duty...Gate.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">A Thai teacher posted the following...</p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>I am a Thai teacher and I have to do gate duty once a week for two reasons. Firstly, we check that students have come to school in the correct uniform and shoes, etc. Secondly, we greet the students warmly and welcome them to school. If Thai teachers can do this once a week, then why can\'t foreign teachers do the same? -&nbsp;</em>Kanjani, Tak <span>(29th November 2018)</span></p>\r\n\r\n<h3>What was this teacher thinking?&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Obviously this teacher doesn’t know that foreigners have watertight contracts which show they only need to be at school from 8.00 am and not a minute earlier. Foreign teachers have to put up with hanging around, watching Netflix, until 4pm everyday, so why should they have to come in a little bit early some days on top of this?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Gate duty isn’t specifically mentioned in our working contracts. We also know that people around the world only perform \'the exact duties as laid out in their contracts\' as mentioned by many astute TEFL teachers in the Facebook replies section. &nbsp;People never stay late, arrive early or go above and beyond expectations at work. That only happens in places like New York and London and we all left those places to avoid this \'working more than I need to\' malarkey. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Some TEFL teachers are employed by agencies. We know these morally upstanding companies would never agree to teachers doing gate duty without informing said teachers first, right? If my agency didn’t mention it in the interview or in the job description, why should I be expected to do it?&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">As one teacher pointed out - \'Thai staff get pensions and cut price loans and until foreign teachers get the same rights they shouldn’t be expected to give up half an hour a week to say hello and speak English with their students upon arrival to school. They expect us to do something nice for free? Crazy Thai logic.\'&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">You might also be interested in...</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><a href=\"https://www.ajarn.com/ajarn-street/articles/where-do-you-stand-on-gate-duty/\">Where do you stand on gate duty? - Do you approach those extra responsibilities with commendable gusto?</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">I’m not the fashion police</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Sure you need to wear school uniform to school. The problem is us TEFL teachers don’t know what that uniform is. How can we be expected to do gate duty combined with school uniform inspection until we’ve been taught how high socks need to be pulled up and which hairstyles are not allowed? Perhaps send us on a week-long training course in Phuket and then we’ll happily perform gate duty until we need a refresher course the following term.</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Our shirts were never tucked during most of our schooldays and look at us - we all got degrees! These Thai kids are about to have to stand outside in the sun for 30 minutes for assembly, why should I make things worse by shouting at them for minor uniform infractions? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The students don’t care</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I spoke to Bell from class 4/2 and she said, &nbsp;“<em>I just say good morning to the foreign teacher on gate duty as then I know the Thai teacher won’t shout at me for wearing slightly pink socks. It’s not important that they’re there as most of them seem to just leave after a few months anyway.”&nbsp;</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Ploy from 6/1 had similar views, “<em>I’ve been up since 4.00 am and I’m doing 39 exams a week for GAT/PAT so the last thing I need is someone trying to speak English with me and asking what I ate for breakfast that day. The foreign teachers at my school can’t even wai properly, it’s a joke.”</em></p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">However, Big from class 5/3 had stronger views in support of foreign teachers, &nbsp;“<em>Following the recent yellow-vest protests in France, I feel TEFL teachers in Thailand should unite and protest against the travesty of them doing 30 minutes gate duty a week.”</em>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">I think we can see that foreigners being on gate duty brings no benefits.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">The valet</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">It sounds that some ultra-unfortunate TEFLers even have to open car doors and carry bags for students. That actually is a joke. &nbsp;However it seems that with some schools paying salaries of just 15-20,000 a month, it is cheaper to have a few teachers stationed at the gates than actual trained security guards or valets to do the job.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 lang=\"en-US\">In all seriousness…</h3>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">It’s 30 minutes a week for most teachers. It’s not a punishment. It’s not going to kill you and it could help you get a pay increase by showing that you care.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">Thai students actually really appreciate having foreigners there. Moaning about it makes you look a bit pathetic.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p lang=\"en-US\">If you have to open car doors and carry bags then yes that’s not on. You would be right to complain about that. &nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;If you enjoyed this blog, check out my website - <a href=\"http://www.lifeinanewcountry.com/\">Life in a New Country</a><span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Richard is co-author of a great new book on planning a life in Thailand.&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Planning your new life in Thailand isn’t easy.

Stretched earlobes, nose-rings, long pink dreadlocks, within the Bay Area culture, alternative was normal.','<p>I have nine piercings: three on each ear lobe, one on each nostril, and one through my septum. And up until I attended my TEFL certification course in Phuket last September, I had a partially shaved hair with dark purple highlights.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The trendy Bay</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area, where meeting someone with an outlandish appearance - even a teacher - is an everyday occurrence. I’ve taught science in elementary schools with a colleague who had long pink dreads, another had stretched ear lobes, and my boss had quite the ornate nose ring. Within my own education, I had a professor who wore mostly neon and had magenta colored hair. Within the Bay Area culture, alternative was normal.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then I decided to enroll in a TEFL course to teach English in Thailand, &nbsp;where I quickly found out that appearing “loud,” as we say in the Bay Area, isn’t quite acceptable, especially inside the classroom. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>With two new fresh nose piercings still healing, I received my TEFL course information packet. In the packet there is a section dedicated to dress code that stated, “All tattoos must be covered and you must take out any facial piercings during teaching practice”.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was livid. My facial piercings were more than just something I decided to do on a whim; each one took meticulous consideration and planning. Having to take them out felt like I would be losing a core part of myself and I was not ready to do that. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Conformity was key</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>But hindsight is 20/20 and I now know I was acting like an entitled brat throwing a tantrum because she wasn’t getting her way. I had to have my ego checked by my dear friends who reminded me that I while I didn’t have to agree with it, I was not in any position to argue otherwise, because quite frankly, Thailand isn’t my country and Thai isn’t my culture.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I ended up making many compromises like switching out my sparkling jewelry with more subtle, nearly invisible, glass nose rings and studs. As for my shaven head and dark purple hair: the shaved part grew out by the time I started applying for jobs, but the purple remained. I asked if that was okay and got different answers.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>TEFL Campus’ Thai culture teacher told me my hair wouldn’t cause issue, but the Thai office manager said teachers shouldn’t have such fashion based alterations. It was oddly comforting that there were differing opinions on hair style, but regardless, I erred on the more conservative side and was ready to dye my hair black.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Words of advice</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>My facial appearance was not the only topic of concern. I also had to replace most of my professional wardrobe. Leggings have slowly been making an entrance into the San Franciscan professional world, but in Thailand, leggings are still not considered part of a professional wardrobe. As my course director stated on the first day of class, “If it’s comfortable enough to take a nap in, it isn’t formal enough to teach in.”&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I switched out leggings for long skirts and dresses that went past the knee and sleeveless tops for high cut, shoulder- covering shirts and cardigans.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, I decided respecting Thai culture bears a lot of similarity with respecting a host’s house rules: they may not kick you out for not following the rules, but you may wear out your welcome rather quickly. Perhaps you won’t be asked back - a bit like showing up for an interview without bearing local customs in mind.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Outside of work however, I still keep it Bay Area ‘loud’.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Fatima Cacho&nbsp;</strong></p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Fatima Cacho graduated from UC-Berkey with a major in Linguistics, and is also a graduate of <a data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?q=https://teflcampus.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1544328250549000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEW-FSIUKNGvZAi41EpPiS1rZ5L7Q\" href=\"https://teflcampus.com/\" target=\"_blank\">TEFL Campus</a>, in Phuket.</p>',NULL,'2018-12-08 11:15:41',1,'2018-12-08 11:12:01','2018-12-08 11:39:10'),(32361,104,'Last Christmas','last-christmas','A foreign teacher\'s Christmas in Thailand','Another reason I came out here was to be an EFL teacher, yet due to the fact that I haven\'t got a university degree, I couldn\'t get a job working directly for a school, hence I teamed up with an agent and now work indirectly for one.','<p>An old geezer who is a veteran EFL teacher in his forties was informing me that this year the Thais have really upped the ante on the Xmas street decorations - right along the thoroughfare. According to him, it seems that they\'re now letting rip as they\'ve bin a bit somber for the last year or so.<span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In as much to say, I mean the street with the German-sounding name that runs straight through the main part of the city, the one which the Bangkok Sky Train whizzes up and down. The other night, I took it from the suburban populous of On Nut to the urban exclusiveness of Siam with me Thai squeeze and I was telling her it\'s not far short of London it really ain\'t!&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thousands of iridescent lights, luminous colors, red, gold and green ave bin tangled and bound, displayed, wrapped and hung around, Japanese, Korean and Chinese food shops, Thai restaurants, modern malls\' canopies, and rooftops - condominiums, apartment blocks, and office towers\' windows\' slots. Twisted creatively about Christmas fur trees, MacDonald\'s arches, outlets of KFC\'s, public park hedges, fairies\' knees, double doors of department stores, ethnic elves and much more - \'everything but the kitchen sink.\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The first class Central World Plaza, they\'ve done their bit, the one they had to rebuild after the original was torched by the political activists \'the Reds\' back in the day - it looks like a \'Winter Wonderland\'! Of course, she ad to stop for a photo shot, blimey we\'ve had more photos taken than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Homeward bound, she started to hold me hand tightly, it gotta her in the mood it did, I really made a fuss of her when I got er back to the room. Well, not much different to what I do every night as she\'s absolutely stunning, I mean I\'d had my fair share of hotties before I came out ere but nothing to touch her, she\'s pure hardcore. Now, all me mates back in the UK having seen her all dolled up on me Facebook wanna come out ere too.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>As you would have guessed as it\'s Winter we\'ve</span>\r\n	<span>bin going through a bit of cold spell it\'s bin around twenty degrees Celsius. Where I come from that\'s sunbathing on Southend beach weather, we don\'t wait for the third weekend in June. Anyhow, you\'ll never believe it, these ave bin swanning about rigged up like their in Alaska, coats, scarves and woolly hats. As a result, she wouldn\'t take a shower for four days, finally comes home in the middle of the afternoon it\'s warmer to ave one - still hasn\'t washed her barnet fair though.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Needless to say, I\'d met her on the social network she\'d bin seeing some other geezer at the time, an Iranian - she blew him off as soon as I arrived in \'Big Bad Bangers,\' a nickname for Bangkok. Since then I\'ve transformed her as she used to be a little bit geeky as she\'d a Korean hair-do, but I gotta to have a bob - it\'s bin a real triumph. We\'ve bin getting on like an house on fire me and her. Great, good, indifferent, bad, an almost Armageddon - the agony and the ecstasy as they say. Good conversation though it\'s in moronic English, lots of laughs,&nbsp;</span>punch-ups, sometimes with her welding a knife! I couldn\'t tell you to what extent the Thais are drama queens, you wouldn\'t want me to shatter your illusions of the peaceful and harmonious \'Land of the Smiles.\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Another reason, I came out here was to be an EFL teacher, yet due to the fact that I aven\'t got a uni degree I couldn\'t get a job working directly for a school, hence I teamed up with an agent and work indirectly for one. Having said that I still ad a few options on a number of schools before deciding upon Sister Sledges\', apparently down to the fact that Thailand has lost a lot of its teachers to Vietnam and loads more to China. As I understand it, it\'s something to do with piss poor salaries - the EFL teachers\' rates of pay haven\'t gone up in decades.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Sister Sledges\' Convent School bang smack in the center of the city in Silom Road, Bangkok, for all that discreetly tucked away down Soi 8.</span> Basically, the convent is like a trip back in time to better days, the students are well brought up nice young ladies from middle-class families. It has a relatively long tradition as it was founded in 1906, consequently many of the present day students\' mothers and grandmas studied ere. In spite of that, the fees don\'t cost the parents two parts of their anatomy nevertheless about an undred grand a year whereas compared to the stratospheric international schools\' five undred grand plus - it ain\'t a lot. In actual fact, many of em ave got enough wonga to send their daughters to one of those posh schools if they like.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>The thing is they want their bricks and mortar to be Thai in personality as well as in character not, Asian/American.&nbsp;</span><span>As well as, the Convent\'s students always come running into me classroom to be the first in order to grab the seats nearest the front, with beaming smiles on their faces and eager to learn English from where I teach at me whiteboard. Twenty-seven learners in a traditional classroom with wooden chairs and desks; they split the classes in two for the English programs. Every time I ask a question a dozen hands shoot up in an instant, they\'re attentive to my every word.&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Just the other day, I asked the students about their weekend, one sez her and er family went to Hua Hin on the South coast to their bungalow at the resort. Oh, that\'s pucker I sez you\'ve got your own gaffe by the sea and it\'s on a resort. Then she tells me without any pretension that her family owns the resort. They are like that, very grounded, money nothing to be ashamed of still nothing to brag about either - a wonderful bunch! They say I\'m their hero; the way that I stand - like Superman - I can\'t think what they mean. In contrast, it\'s all a million miles from Peckham, the public housing estate I grew up on and the state school that I attended.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>What is more, Sister Sledges\' claims to be a Catholic school though we\'ve got about 5,000 students all of about 99 percent of these are Buddhist. One day last week all the Thai teachers ave dressed up as Santa, we\'ve all gone out into the playground - lots of photos, a few tacky gifts, stopped short of a tom bowler they don\'t give much away the Catholic Church. Therefore, they\'ve all had a dollop of fun otherwise nontraditional Xmas fare, sushi, and green Rosy Lee; tea! Let em ave it the Thai people, they love a good festival to celebrate and it\'s bin a while.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Incidentally, I commute here on me moped, its a long old track from On Nut and you have to keep your wits about you 101 percent of the time. Moreover, you ave to be prepared for every eventuality, like being undertaken; that\'s overtaken on the inside or carelessly driven jam jars; cars reserving at you the wrong way down one-way streets. Further, bygone buses being driven flat right out meandering in and out of both lanes down a dual carriageway while leaving plumes of jet black exhaust smoke in their trail that make it almost impossible to breath let alone see. Not to mention fifty-odd-year-old would-be boy racers driving like they\'re insane and thinking that they\'re kings of the road. Besides those first time drivers unaccompanied and occasionally in brand spanking new Mercs, plus totally illegal underage kids driving to school - you name it! On top of that, you won\'t be astounded to learn that they\'ve got the highest mortality rates on their roads per capita than any other country in the whole world, cause thousands die in road accidents here, every year, so now the government is trying to do something about it with a campaign. Well, here\'s hoping!</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Come to think it I\'ve bin out ere now for about seven months, I used to work as a security guard at a branch of W.H.Smith in London. The funny thing was when I nabbed somebody for lifting something from the shop if it was an immigrant they\'d own up. \'Alright guv, it\'s a fair cop, you caught me out, red-handed.\" or \'Turn me in, it\'s what I deserve.\' On the other hand, if it was a Brit they\'d be like, \'Oh, fuck you mate, you\'ve spoilt my day!\' or \'Oh cum on, you always were a fair guy Eddie. Could you turn a blind eye, just the once? I\'d really appreciate it!\' I\'m thinking you thieving bastard you\'re bang to rights and I\'m gonna do my bloody job. Do I miss it? Yeah, like a good boot in the old orchestras\' stalls!</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the first place, we\'ve gone back to Central World Plaza on Christmas Day; she loves it - thinks it\'s high-so; high society. All eyes are on us the blue-eyed fair-haired farang; foreign teacher and the supermodel-like Southern Thai accountant. I\'ll tell you something,<span>&nbsp;</span>the green-eyed monster is alive and well and living in Bangkok and if looks could kill. Between the Thai geezers that are attracted to her and the Thai gals that I catch the eye of - an andsome westerner - leave it out! I\'m no Chris Hemsworth or more like an ATM card with no credit limits as they see me.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To be honest, I can\'t say I\'m not chuffed with all the attention and they can be mouthwatering, especially some the toms\' tidbits, the living dolls. Memorizing mince pies, dulcet features, immaculate forms, milky white thighs, white-clean girls - they\'ve ad some kind of skin treatment. They\'re totally pampered, indulged by their butch counterparts and they\'ve probably bi-curious! Yeahhh, what can you say? Just catering for one gal and all er needs and wants is a demanding enough job - I\'ll stick with Toey.<span>&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In the second place, we go into a superb little buffet restaurant on the fifth floor, Gustosos\' seats about fifty, central sets of stainless steel food warmers - all you can eat for 595 baht including soft drinks - that\'s about 14 nicker. In London on Christmas Day times it by ten and you won\'t be far wrong - knock you back 140 sheets that would. Gustosos\' manager\'s wearing a vibrant purple outfit informs me, \"Thailand no have Snow,\" so now I know and the spread looks pearler I can\'t wait to tuck-in. Spare ribs in barbecue sauce, chicken fillets in mushroom sauce, parma ham an prawn salad, pizza, some spuds an plenty of veg an to crown it all off my old favorite - crepes suzette and creme brûlée. Not only-but, she\'s photoed the lot for her Facebook and she seems appy though she\'s disgusted by how much I ate - I can\'t say I blame her. I\'ve asked er if she\'s going to eat anything else and she sez to me, \"I can no eat when I see your face!\" she\'s a real charmer.</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>When all\'s bin said and done, no surprises she wants to do some shopping next, well it is Christmas and I did promise her, and yet little does she realize she\'ll be paying it all back in kind or am I the one who\'s being naive. Undeniably, Tony and Teoy are to get some retail therapy as me old dear used to say. Of course, Thai is a precise tonal language so I ave to be careful ow I sez er nickname, cause any word can ave more than one meaning dependin on ow yer say it. Actually, Toey can also mean pony and trap; \'crap\' in Thai, which she\'s none to fond of, and if I say \'Toy\' when there are foreigners within earshot they might think I\'m referring to her as me plaything - it wouldn\'t be right.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Coincidentally, she\'s after a new par-ty dress for New Year\'s as we\'re comin back ere next Sunday<span>&nbsp;</span>for the countdown - in an odd way that\'s your whole life really, a countdown. Over the PA system, they\'ve bin playing George Michael\'s \'Last Christmas\' - is she still brown bread? Nah, I must admit, I did love Georgie boy - he was a world class entertainer, wasn\'t he?&nbsp;</span>\r\n</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>In the end, having made her choice she makes er exit from the fitting room but hang fire Geronimo she still needs my approval. It\'s a bright red strapless woolen crouched job that should keep it all warm for me, and leaves little to the imagination. What can I say? Marks out of ten, eleven!</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The very next day, Boxing Day, I\'ve gone AWOL I\'m off with me China plates; mates, the co-teachers to Asoke, Soi Cowboy. The neon side road with bar girlies, bad geezers and enough battle-cruisers; boozers to sink the Bismarck. I\'d only gone there to ave just the one which I should know at the age of twenty-six is an age old mistake. The next morning I\'ve woken up on a colleague\'s sofa at around<span>&nbsp;</span>five o\'clock&nbsp;feeling the worst for wear and with 17 missed calls from Teoy on me dog and bone; phone. Thinking that she wouldn\'t appreciate<span>&nbsp;</span>a 5am<span>&nbsp;</span>call from her drunken, dickhead of a boyfriend</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I jumped in a sherbet dab; taxi cab and told the driver to \"Go On-Nut and not to spare the orses!\" A breathtaking twenty odd minutes down-the-line having paid forty baht for the highway, the yellow and green Toyota Alias\' cab\'s meter says eighty baht; I\'ve handed the driver a red one hundred baht note. Then the cab driver in English, \"Sorry, no change!\' so I snatch the note back and sez, \"Gin kao!\" for food - which other than greetings and thanks is the only Thai phrase I know. Almost instantaneously, the cab driver stuffs twenty baht into my creased shirt\'s top left-hand pocket and simultaneously snatches the hundred baht note back out of my right hand! Seems he had the right change after all. As I\'m making my way out of the cab he shouts, \"Kee neoy!\" which I found later translates to \'Shit is sticky,\' someone who money sticks to. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Ultimately, there I was at me room door preparing meself for a sea of slings and arrows. Gently not only-but carefully pushing the key into the lock when I hears this muffled groaning sound, four explanations ave whammed through my mind by the time I\'ve unlocked it. The first was that she\'s sobbing because she thinks she\'s lost her ATM; yours truly - break er heart that would. The second was that she\'s standing behind the door with a meat cleaver - it wouldn\'t be the first time. The third was that she\'s played her dog and bone and the night away at the RCA a well-known club venue and she\'s still pissed - every girls\' night. The fourth and most nerve jarringly worst of all was that she\'s in there making a fuss of another geezer!&nbsp;</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p><span>Come what may, on entering our thirty meter unit room and slappin on the light. Woh! False alarm, Toey\'s old dear\'s curled up, snoring and snuggled up beside Toey, the pair of em prostrate on the hard tiled floor, absurdly alongside the comfy double bed. Accordingly, I begin rubbing me forehead to the back of my skull, back and forth frantically while making a right mess of me barnet - I\'ddd completely forgotten that her old mum was coming down from Narathiwat for the festivities!&nbsp;</span></p>',NULL,'2018-12-07 17:08:01',1,'2018-12-08 17:02:38','2018-12-08 17:08:05'),(32362,95,'The four tendencies','four-tendencies','Identifying your students\' expectations','We are all constantly subject to a variety of inner and outer expectations. At school, our students impose inner expectations on themselves (\'I want to be the best in the class\'), while teachers, etc are sources of outer expectations.','<p>The end of the year is approaching, and with it the opportunity to start over and do things better in 2019. Have you thought about your new year\'s resolutions?</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>New Year\'s Resolutions&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>The tradition of setting promises for yourself at the end of the year stretches back to the Babylonians in 2000 BC, who apparently made resolutions at the new year festival to attract favor from the gods. The art of currying favor from Marduk is dead, but otherwise the practice of setting up an expectation for what you want from yourself in the new year is alive and well all around the world: check out <a href=\"https://archive.google.com/zeitgeist/2012/resolutions/\">Google\'s resolution map from 2013</a> where people posted their new year\'s resolutions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>How do you feel about new year\'s resolutions? According to author Gretchen Rubin, your answer to this question is important. She suggests that there are four likely responses:</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The four tendencies&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>These four responses (or something like them) exemplify what Gretchen calls the <em>four tendencies</em>. The four tendencies revolve around people\'s responses to expectations.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a teacher, this is particularly relevant because we constantly create expectations in our classrooms. We give our students tasks, homework, set classroom routines, impose rules. Classrooms are all about expectations. As part of the classroom management manifesto, our fundamental driving question is \'How do we get our students to do what we expect from them?\'</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-four-tendencies/intro/\">Gretchen\'s book <em>The Four tendencies:</em></a><em>&nbsp;The Indispensable Personality Profiles that reveal how to make your life better&nbsp;</em>sets out to answer that very question (well, sort of: the website says it answers the question, “How can we get people (including ourselves) to do what we want?”).&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The book argues that there are two kinds of expectations: inner (that new year\'s resolution), and outer (finishing the homework). We are all constantly subject to a variety of inner and outer expectations. At school, our students impose inner expectations on themselves (\'I want to be the best in the class\'), while teachers, parents, the school, and perhaps peers are sources of outer expectations.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Dealing with expectations&nbsp;</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Gretchen\'s <em>four tendencies&nbsp;</em>explains how we respond to all these expectations:</p>\r\n\r\n<p>According to Gretchen\'s framework, students with these different tendencies are going to respond differently to our expectations of them. Obligers are going to do exactly what we ask them to. Questioners will want to know why. Upholders will already have done it before you ask. Rebels will do the opposite. Can you spot these responses in the students you teach? &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>The tendencies in your classroom</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Predictably, it\'s common to predict that others will respond to expectations the way that we do. If you are a questioner, then it doesn\'t bother you when a student questions everything. An upholder, however, may find a questioner tiresome, irritating, or even threatening. It\'s useful, then, to find out your own tendency, and for this <a href=\"https://quiz.gretchenrubin.com\">there is a great little quiz on Gretchen\'s website</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Once you\'ve done so and know yourself better, you can <a href=\"https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-four-tendencies/videos/\">learn more about the other three in Gretchen\'s videos</a> or if you\'d prefer, <a href=\"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/ben-pakulski-podcast-muscle-expert-interviews-how-to-build/ben-pakulski-podcast-muscle-expert-interviews/e/57132506\">listen to Ben Pakulski\'s interview with her</a>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gretchen\'s audience isn\'t teachers, this is a self-help book: but there are some really useful tips here for our classroom management. For example, you may already have guessed that working with rebels can be tough. They don\'t like instructions or authoritarian direction.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>What they need, instead of autocratic heavy-handedness, is to know the facts and the possible consequences, and then the time and space to make a decision for themselves. They also love challenge: tell them they can\'t do something, and they become single-minded in their pursuit to do it.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are an upholder, you\'ve probably already opened the quiz in a new tab. If you\'re a questioner, you are arguing against everything here to make sense of it. If you are a rebel, you\'ll ignore it all because nobody can tell you about your personality.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Assumptive final comments aside, it might be useful for all of us to see if the four tendencies framework can help us understand our students a little better.</p>\r\n<hr>\r\n\r\n<p>Steve Louw is the lead trainer of the popular<span>&nbsp;</span><a href=\"http://www.chichester.ac.th/\">Chichester College TEFL Course</a><span>&nbsp;</span>in Bangkok.</p>',NULL,'2018-12-12 16:53:42',1,'2018-12-12 16:18:49','2018-12-12 16:53:45');

I have used your service as a teacher and for recruitment.\r\nIt has been a few years since we needed to recruit, but so far we have wasted 4 credits on resumes, which we did not need to look at. For example, 1 lady was only looking for work for a few weeks. Another lady didn\'t want work in Bangkok. Another wasn\'t available until October and the final lady had already found work and wrote her new job on her Ajarn CV.\r\nCould I suggest the following.\r\n1. Include a box in the resume review / purchase which states when they are available to work from and if temporary or permanent employment is sought.\r\n2. Particular areas they are not interested in working in a country.\r\n3. Age group they are looking for (Early Years, Primary or Secondary, or adults.\r\n\r\nThis would then attract more people to view resumes.

It was read in flawless received pronunciation (RP) commonly known as the Queen’s English. Back then it was considered the language of elites, power and royalty. While the BBC no longer broadcasts only in RP, it turns out that the bias that once existed for it is still ripe in society and seemingly in the recruitment process of some Thai International Schools, while more irrelevant matters were added. ( What does your accent say about you? - http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180307-what-does-your-accent-say-about-you ).\r\n\r\nSecond excerpt: The village community is open to everyone and in many cases, parents who are interested in learning the Thai language will bring their children, who sometimes also enjoy the fun. It’s not your typical karaoke session. The giggles and apparent trepidation a young woman shows before launching into a Thai love ballad might not be out of place among a group of friends out anywhere in the country, but the focus here is neither on vocal prowess nor solely on having fun – and nothing about the venue suggests urban entertainment (‘Karaoke’ class: A high note for literacy in Thai mountain villages - https://bangkok.unesco.org/content/%E2%80%98karaoke%E2%80%99-class-high-note-literacy-thai-mountain-villages ).\r\n\r\nLast year I submitted an article, concerning an idea to start broadcasting short actual English newspaper articles in rural villages, to tackle the “ Thai English Speaking Syndrome (TESS-author)”. It was sad enough, rejected. This year I asked a local newspaper if I could use the audio versions of their articles for my rural experiment, but I never got an answer. I did a third attempt on the web, but that probably was not addressed to the right audience, so here I am with the fourth try.\r\nThe direct cause for the 3 attempts mentioned above,  was the voice of the village headman at 06:00 am, a couple of months ago, facilitating the birth of my “KISS” like idea, which later proved not to be that original (note 2nd excerpt) after all.\r\n\r\nStudents in rural areas often do not have the opportunity to practice the real-life speaking/listening part of the English language beyond the school walls. The listening part can be achieved by using the smart phone, the computer or a tablet. Even English music adds to the build-up. But mind you, those options have been around for a long time.\r\n\r\nThe Bangkok Post\'s Learning section provides learners with audio versions of their articles at three levels: Really Easy, Easy, and Advanced News respectively, which are directly applicable. The www.pressreader.com website also provides audio features. The Nation has a special English section with useful resources. More sources are available on the Internet. \r\n\r\nIs it possible to use the Village Communication System (VCS), for the transmission of spoken English? We could make use of the audio resources of the Bangkok Post about actual news for example (after clearing the copyright issues of course). The project could start with transmissions in the weekend in the morning, and collective speaking/listening interactive sessions in the afternoon in the community centre, if necessary or requested. All it takes is a qualitative useful VCS, a cooperative headman, a dedicated English teacher, and some project-minded students - in short, “village collaboration” among other.  It\'s a simple suggestion that could grow (excerpt nr 1!). Of course, this can be realized in the school area, but it\'s the real-life “radio-like listening sphere” that may add positively to the whole……I think.\r\n\r\nI do realize that language learning is a two-way process, instant listening & speaking, but starting with the transmission of short actual articles will better the students\' pronunciation to start with, the created aerial “This Is Your Village Calling” like sphere guarantees the latter. Digging in history, I remember the “English on Monday” campaign, but I have no idea about the possible positive ROI, and that doesn\'t really show in daily life on a large scale. Promising, however, are the noticeable small improvements in the form of the slowly increasing number of “English speakers” at 7-11, McDonald and Global House among other.\r\n\r\nWe do not have any influence on the reform process of the English Thai educational system, but we can think of possibilities that can be realized relatively easy and require some enthusiasm, involvement and dedication. The latter to cause a slight improvement in the often absent English speaking/listening “sparring opportunities” in the rural regions.\r\nPossibly the quality of VCS transmissions will not be up to a useful standard for this idea. If so, then we should call off the whole project, or switch to the English variant of the (Thai) Karaoke’s class as described in the 2nd excerpt.\r\n\r\nI started my article describing 2 events, in London and Chiang Mai respectively, which proved to be successful and I ask the readers to send me their opinion on the chance of success of the proposed project. Do you think that this test-project can help to overcome the TESS? Let me know, English teachers in rural areas in particular.\r\n\r\nDirk Sumter (Non-native English speaker with a “walk the walk” like passion for Education)\r\n\r\nBiography	\r\nMy name is Dirk Sumter, born in the former Netherlands Antilles. Left for Europe to become an F-104 jet pilot many years ago, failed, and ended up as a biomedical engineer for about twenty years, followed by 20 years in Information Technology and retired with an increased passion for Education. The seeds for the latter were broadcasted in my younger years in the domestic area. In 2017/2018  I published articles on Education in The Nation, which I recently bundled, Thai versions are included to stimulate discussions in domestic environments. My hobbies are gardening (my Dad!), female photography (ESPRIT style – seemingly a bit confusing in my part of the rural area) among other. The application of digital technology in “ family agriculture” was recently added.','2018-08-11 09:14:13','2018-08-11 09:14:13'),(249,'Miss Pornchanok','ftk.thewalk@gmail.com','Technical Problem','dear Ajarn.com\r\n\r\n	I need to change salary on this job --> https://www.ajarn.com/recruitment/jobs/126578/childrens-teacher-with-good-personality-in-bangkok \r\nfrom 22,000 to 22,000-25,000 Negotiable, depends on the experience.

The first article discussed an idea to improve English speaking in the rural area and this article brought me in the lion\'s den with a subject that has puzzled me for quite a while.\r\nBest regards\r\nDirk Sumter\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCan We Be as Courageous as the Kids in the Cave?\r\n\r\nThe spirit of togetherness created by the cave incident reminded me of a quote from Alexandre Dumas: “All for one and one for all, united we stand divided we fall”.  I recall spending many enjoyable hours reading the “The Three Musketeers”.  This triggered another puzzle which has remained unsolved up to this moment, which is lack of collegiality displayed in response to John Morales\'s article “To Boost Failing Thai education, give Foreign Teachers Proper Contracts”.\r\n\r\nIt should be obvious that all responsible residents in this country must do what we can to help Thailand avoid getting stuck in the middle-income trap.  The absence of comments from worried stakeholders reacting to Mr Morales\' letter left me dumbfounded.  Foreign colleagues didn\'t comment on the matter, and Thai teachers didn\'t stand up for their colleagues’ interests either.  It was business as usual and everybody moved on.  The article reminded me of the “red alert” phone calls I used to get from a Filipina chemistry teacher I knew some years ago whenever she was caught in unexpected predicaments which needed solving instantly, such as the emergency situations described by Mr Morales.\r\n\r\nSome weeks later another article showed up which focused on the thinking ability of college students and their teachers/instructors.  This article posed the question “Can our college students think?”  Or to be more precise, are they being taught to think?  Even more importantly, can their teachers and instructors think?  The question was raised by the President of Bangkok University, Petch Osathanugrah, who has considerable recruitment experience in the business world.  The article\'s author explained that Mr Osathanugrah didn\'t go so far as to say that higher-education institutions, and thus Thailand 4.0, are facing a real crisis, but what he did say suggests that without genuine and thorough reform we are headed towards a major disaster.  Again, I expected concerned comments from some dedicated, disappointed teachers/instructors and students among others, but no one bothered to reply.\r\n\r\nEager for an answer which would explain the deafening silence, I searched the web for articles on group behaviour, environmental influence, dominant parents, hierarchical & cultural aspects, etc.  I came across an interesting YouTube/Ted video titled “Creative Thinking - How to Get Out of the Box and Generate Ideas”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEusrD8g-dM .  The speaker explains the reluctance of getting “Out of The Box” into the unknown outer world.  Perhaps a false sense of safety can explain the odd silence in response to the two articles.  Nobody commented because the readers didn\'t perceive a direct (personal) threat, I reckoned.  To use the speaker\'s words, they saw the dangers described in these articles as a single musical note but failed to see the note as part of an ensemble.  Thailand 4.0 is the ensemble that can and will affect all of us.  Unacceptable working conditions for foreign teachers described in the first letter and doubts about the “thinking abilities” of college students and instructors described in the second letter are serious matters that should concern us all.  Reform has been set into motion and hopefully, the issue of the foreign teachers will be added to the on-going educational change process.\r\n\r\nThe exceptional example of a female student standing up for her fellow-students after a remark from Minister Dr Teerakiat Jareonsettasin in the video titled “Globalization and the Role of the Thai State in Higher Education Reform - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3GhfYVAeBw -” made quite an impression on me.  This young woman should serve as an example for those who left Mr John Morales out in the cold. I think that Dr Teerakiat would like to have this young woman cloned, because she symbolically represents the launch pad of the New Generation, compulsory for the transition to Thailand 4.0.\r\n\r\n I recommend watching the full video because it provides information on the current state of Thai Education.  It describes the variety of mindsets, the borrowing of foreign educational templates, the main purpose for creating Thai universities back then and the inherent impact up to today.\r\n\r\nDirk Sumter (Worried Non- native English speaker trespassing the lion’s den.)','2018-08-14 19:34:58','2018-08-14 19:34:58'),(257,'Yuthachai','yuthachai.d@prcwpp.ac.th','Accounting Question','I could not find my receipt.

When you\'re waking up the same time every morning to go to the same room every morning, to eat the same lunch every day. Maybe the lunch is something that you have to look forward to and then you leave at the same time and you go to the same restaurant. And then you cry in  shower too small for you and wish you had picked a better profession. Eat alone staring into the face of TV hosts who mock your pathetic attempt at life. Or at least I assume that’s what their saying I can’t afford a TV with sound.\r\n\r\nFrom time to time, we find ourselves facing the existential void and the complete indifference of the world, as Albert Camus would put it. Questions like, What’s the meaning of it all? Why am I doing this day in and day out? Is this all my life is worth? And Who let the dogs out? Who? Who?\r\n\r\nPlagued as we confront classes, day in and day out, of students pounding their desk for more candy, demanding more results, asking for your attention, and bothering you with the petty details of their life. Sound familiar? If not then why are you reading this? Are you some sort of sadist?\r\n\r\nWe find ourselves getting into different repetitive habits and different routines that we get into that sometimes become so overwhelming that they can often trap us and make us feel like we are in a prison, that we\'re living in existential hell and that nothing\'s ever going to change, that we’re going to be just robots doing meaningless work, that no one pays attention to us. We want to be wanted, and then discover that the only way we have become wanted in life is from the work that we do. Like prison. Yep, I’m bringing prison into this.\r\n\r\nAnd I\'m sure that there are many people in the world who do live this kind of routine and that this is all they’ve come to expect from life. I know my parents lived this way. Maybe yours do or did too! That way of life where you really can\'t tell the difference between a prisoner and somebody who\'s just working a normal day job. \r\n\r\nNapoleon Hill, in his book, The Laws of Success, does make a comparison between people who are working on a treadmill and working by the hour, or maybe they\'re working a fixed salary, and also prisoners. And he actually argues that some prisoners are far more fortunate than the people who are working in the real world because the people who are working in the world outside of prison have to worry about rent and housing themselves and getting dressed and clothing, whereas prisoners get all of that provided for them. They also  can earn a degree without student loans, and they get free cable TV. Man, prison sounds like a vacation. Hmmm.\r\n\r\nHowever, the one plus of not being a prisoner is your lessened chance of being stabbed while you shower or sleep.\r\n\r\nSo, there\'s an irony there. \r\n\r\nSo, here are some little things you could do to break up the monotony of your English teaching job when you find yourself going day in and day out, in rhythm. When I was teaching English, I had a very repetitive life at times. I really did feel like an existential hell hole. When this happened, I varied up some of my chores.\r\n \r\nSometimes, I cleaned the house at different times of the day or different parts of the week. Sometimes, I tried different activities in my day job, my work. And sometimes I would just go out and meet new people, see who was in the community and try to strike up a conversation. \r\n\r\nSometimes when you\'re teaching English, that\'s not always possible because you\'re in a community that doesn\'t really speak English that well, so they really can\'t relate to you or connect with you on a deeper level than some, maybe local people, in your home country can. I\'ve also found that sometimes even with minimal language, even with a big language barrier, there still might be more commonalities that you share with a person from another country than with people from your own country. \r\n\r\nAnother way that you can feel better about yourself when your job gets monotonous is to learn new skills. You can take an online course or you can go to the local university and share an experience with people who are in those classes. You can learn about traveling if that\'s what you want to do or learn about new ways of marketing yourself. You could read fiction books if that\'s what you love, or you could even take up hobbies and learn a new hobby like hiking or doing a marathon with somebody. \r\n\r\nAnother way that you can break the monotony is just exercising. Tim Ferriss, of the 4-Hour fame, has recommended this quite a bit in his articles.  You can go to the local gym or you could do what I used to do and go run around the local track, listening to some of your favorite songs that make you feel a beat and make things go faster because there\'s something about getting your endorphins going and getting your body to heat up that kind of makes you feel good about yourself. Doing this can be really helpful. \r\n\r\nI\'ve also found sometimes calling relatives from back home can be very, very helpful for me. Just kind of the familiarity of the culture and the world view and the reassurance that I’m not going insane, that I do come from some place with a definite world view that makes sense to me. Speaking with people from back home can be reassuring and help you kind of get more grounded with yourself in your life in a new country. One caveat to mention though is that sometimes it’s helpful to grow away from your relatives too, especially if they happen to be overly negative and disparaging of the life you’re trying to build for yourself. It really depends on the cards you have, so maintaining distance can also be a good thing. \r\n\r\nAnother thing that I used to do was take weekend trips outside of my town. I used to visit new towns and villages like Ulsan and Suncheon, in South Korea. And I would just visit and see what they were like and do some exploring there. And then maybe go to a coffee shop and learn new skills, read books, and then also look at and explore other opportunities for growing my skills in teaching, but also outside of teaching as well. \r\n\r\nSo, these were some of the things that have really kept me going, especially when the days became incredibly repetitive. I had to keep giving myself things to look forward to and different growth opportunities. \r\n\r\nIt\'s funny because there are growth opportunities everywhere you look, including in the jobs that you tend to find the most repetitive or boring or not going anywhere. There\'s actually always room for you to make a job more than it really is. And sometimes it\'s just a matter of you asking your boss or your supervisor what are some other things you could do or how you can improve or ways that you can make something more interesting or ways that you can organize an event or a cooking class or a meeting or a group TV night. \r\n\r\nYou\'re really only limited by your imagination and you don\'t really know what you don\'t know until you start really taking action and exploring the possibilities for yourself in your home country and also in the world beyond, asking questions and seeking out what’s possible for you. Waiting around isn’t going to do it; rather than trying to flee your experience--which I don\'t encourage you to do--consider ways that you can grow into your position more and be more helpful to other people because in a way you\'ll find yourself out of the existential hell hole that you\'re in by serving other people and by being a value to other people and taking action anywhere. Seek and thee shall find. \r\n\r\nSo, if you start to feel dread or fear and you don\'t know what you\'re doing and you feel like maybe life is passing you by and you feel like you\'re not living your full potential, whatever that means to you, or you just feel a disconnect or you feel like nothing is really going your way and that things will never change, or you\'re just not living the life that you thought you would be living and you feel like you can do better. Well, sometimes the best thing you could do is take action. And I got that advice from David Schwartz in his book, The Magic of Thinking Big. A great read, highly recommended. \r\n\r\nSometimes, if you just take action trying to help other people, that is the way out. Many other self-help authors and success authors have also suggested this. And from my own experience, I could certainly vouch that being of value to others and being in the world and helping them wherever they need it (for pay), tends to be one way out of the treadmill. \r\n\r\nConclusion\r\nThese are the ways that I\'ve discovered for myself to get out of the repetitive monotonous life of working a nine-to-five overseas. And I hope that this has helped many teachers who are considering teaching overseas or who maybe continue to teach overseas and they just need some other ideas about ways that they can improve themselves and their lives and grow out of that. \r\n\r\nAuthor Bio: Todd Squitieri holds a BFA from New School University and an MA in Applied Sociology from William Paterson University.

They put me in a police station holding cell for 5 days and then sent me to IDC in Bangkok were I had to stay for another 5 days before I paid for a new flight to leave.\r\nMorale of the story is if I can go back to Thailand earlier than 5 yrs. I\'ve been travelling to the kingdom since 2016 and I have visited to Thailand many times during this time and I wish to visit a lot more but 5 yrs wait seems a lifetime. \r\n\r\nCan you help?\r\n\r\nKind regards, \r\n\r\nPeter','2018-11-25 16:10:09','2018-11-25 16:10:09'),(910,'Lucy wanjiku nduati','shikunduati96@gmail.com','Other','No comment','2018-11-25 21:22:04','2018-11-25 21:22:04'),(911,'rain wattana','chalengsak.th@gmail.com','Banner Advertising Inquiry','Hi there,\r\n\r\nIn order to post a job, do I need to spend 10 credits?\r\n(Paid one)','2018-11-25 23:23:50','2018-11-25 23:23:50'),(912,'katie russell','katie.r@lumahealth.com','Other','Hello,\r\n\r\nMy name is Katie Russell.

All three require expertise in the area you\'re practicing extensively. All three have their students\', patients\' or clients\' lives in their hands.','When I was trying to look for an interesting topic to be discussed in my class the next day , I came across in the website of ajarn.com, surprisingly I saw there the section for Filipino teachers in Thailand. I got interested of their opinions and finally I have decided also to share my own thoughts and sentiments since I am also a teacher like them. I\'ve been teaching for almost 12 years now. To tell you frankly, I am happy with my job because I am fulfilled of what I am doing. I am not after of the money that I can get for me, the most important thing is what I can impart and share to my students.\n\nI\'m often asked, \"Che, what\'s your job?\" I always reply,\" I am a teacher.\" The response I get generally comes in a wide range from an \"Oh\" to a \"You\'ve got to be kidding me.\" But one thing in common is the disgusted or horrified look on their faces. \n\nIf I had said I wanted to be a lawyer or a doctor, the response would have been more along the lines of \"That is a great profession\" accompanied by a handshake and good luck. I dread being asked the question because the response I get leaves me feeling ashamed of my chosen profession. Then, I think about it and realize I shouldn\'t be ashamed; teaching is a noble profession. As teachers, we are educating future generations, shaping young minds and lives. We are responsible for the welfare and education of the 100 or so kids who will walk into our classroom every day. We\'ve got a chance to impact each and everyone of them. A teacher\'s motivation and encouragement is extremely valuable to a child; it can change the child\'s life. Just imagine the science teacher who could have convinced a student to go into the field of medicine where he or she may discover the cure for cancer. That\'s just one of many examples.\n\nWe should be commended for picking a career inspired by passion or love instead of monetary gain. You\'ll be hard-pressed to find a teacher who isn\'t in it for the money. I can\'t imagine most people, or any teacher for that matter, willing to wake up at 6 a.m. each day, get to school by 8 a.m., teach from 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. with barely a half-hour to eat lunch, stay another two hours after school to go to meetings or run after school programs, go to school or care for a family, spend three or more hours grading, and then an hour reviewing for the next day; doing all this,yet receiving minimal salary.\n\nIf you really think about it, a teacher\'s job is not much different from a doctor\'s or a lawyer\'s. All three require expertise in the area you\'re practicing extensively. All three have their students\', patients\' or clients\' lives in their hands. All three are almost always working; when they\'re not physically on the job they\'re mentally on the job. Thus, it\'s only natural all three should be awarded the same respect.\n\nNext time someone asks me what my job is and they make a face at my answer, I\'ll just turn to them and ask, \"What\'s wrong to be a teacher? Remember teachers, we unmake or make our students. Keep on moving and God bless us all.',1,'2008-09-27 16:52:55','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb1.jpg','2008-09-27 16:52:55','2009-05-12 09:09:56'),(253,'The South African viewpoint','the-south-african-viewpoint','Marguerite Huson','Four major issues that one particular ajarn reader is concerned about','As a potential farang in Thailand, I have found your website most informative. I would now like to add my twopence worth.\nFirstly, the debate about whether native English speakers make better teachers than non-native English speakers:-\nI am, what the advertisements presumably hope is, a native English speaking South African. In South Africa we have 11 official languages: English, Afrikaans and 9, so-called, indigenous languages (the languages spoken by the 9 Black tribes in the country.) This does not take into consideration all those thousands of South Africans who are of Hindu, Tamil, Urdu, Dutch, Portuguese, Greek, Lebanese, Italian, German and French descent, and who probably regard themselves as native English speakers, although they still speak these languages in their homes. It is quite obvious therefore that the vast majority of South Africans are not English first-language speakers and that many will not have the language skills necessary to teach English here in South Africa, let alone anywhere else. So, how does one define a South African native English speaker, and how does one determine if he/she is fit to teach this most diffiucult language to others?\n\nSecondly, the issue of having a qualification that says one can (supposedly) teach English to foreigners:-\nFollowing on from the above, it is quite obvious that most South African English teachers will have taught English to second-language students at some stage in their careers, and that most South African teachers will have taught other subjects (in English) to second-language students. So why do we need TEFL or TESOL qualifications? We get enough experience right here in our own country!\n\nThirdly, the issue of the Thai Government\'s licensing requirements for foreign teachers:-\nIn South Africa (currently), the B.Education is a post-graduate qualification originally introduced (many years ago) to encourage people with Bachelor Degrees to teach (most teachers studied for the B.Ed.part-time while teaching.) Otherwise (currently), all high school teachers are required to have a Bachelor\'s Degree plus a Teacher\'s Diploma (4 years of study) and primary school teachers simply have a 3 year diploma. BUT, when I qualified, all we needed to be able to teach was a Bachelor\'s Degree with a teaching subject as a major, and on the strength of this, I taught for 4 years, before entering the field of librarianship. So where do I fit into the Thai scheme of things? I do not have a B.Ed. but I do have a degree in English, a post-graduate librarian\'s diploma and 4 years\' teaching experience. I do not mind the concept of the Foreign Teachers Thai Culture Training Programme (if it is worthwhile), but I am not interested in spending another year and thousands of Baht on getting some qualification which will probably duplicate what I have already learned in my own country. According to the official I spoke to at the Royal Thai Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa, the employers should be paying for these courses anyway, not the teachers. \n\nFourthly, the issue of \"visa-runs\":-\nAgain, the Royal Thai Ministry official told me that this is nonsense. As a South African, I purchase a Non-Imm.B.Visa here in SA, which I then renew (for a fee) after 3 months in Thailand, and Thai Immigration then gives me a 9-month extension. At no time do I have to leave the country on any cross-border visa runs. If I renew my contract for another year, I simply request another extension. So why are you ex-pats chasing visa renewals across the border?\nHe did warn me however, that private schools in Thailand must have a certain income to be able to employ foreign teachers otherwise these teachers are illegal. So it appears that teachers should ask to see balance sheets before accepting teaching posts.\nFinally, are there any South Africans in Thailand who can share their experiences?\n',1,'2008-08-11 17:02:26','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb15.png','2008-08-11 17:02:26','2008-11-04 11:11:27'),(254,'The need to be realistic','the-need-to-be-realistic','Mr John','I have some degree of sympathy to those who find it difficult to hire teachers','I’m sympathetic to the problems AN’s school has recruiting teachers (North Eastern Woes, 7th August) but you have to be realistic. Hardly anyone wants to live in these remote parts of Thailand, and those that have a romantic notion about it soon discover that it’s not as wonderful as they first thought (they probably didn’t think it through in the first place). \n\nAN suggests retaining 10% of the salary until the end of the contract. The first problem with that potty idea is that salaries aren’t high enough to live on if you deduct 10% every month. If the salary is over 40K then sure, but where do you get that much outside Bangkok? You’re having problems recruiting now and you want to make it even harder by telling candidates that they won’t get their money until next year. This brings me to my next point. I’ve hear of many horror stories about teachers who are expecting to get either a bonus, withheld salary or simply their final month’s salary only to be told to get lost as their contract won’t be renewed next semester and we’re not going to pay you your money. By the way we cancelled your work permit a week ago. \n\nSorry AN but this is just yet another way to screw the teacher. If I hear anything like what you suggest at an interview I’ll get up and walk out. I’d like to suggest to ajarn.com that schools advertising teaching positions state any subversive contract clauses to avoid wasting people’s time.',1,'2008-08-08 18:48:45','','2008-08-08 18:48:45','2008-11-03 08:08:46'),(261,'North Eastern woes','north-eastern-woes','AN','How does a school that\'s \'out in the sticks\' attract decent teachers?','I am over in the North East of Thailand we had 4 Falang teachers including myself. At the end of June just after pay day our friendly Kiwi packed his bags and shot over to Ubon. Well the contract did say and does say one month\'s notice. At the end of July, well what do you know, the Aussie and the Brit packed their bags and left as well.\n\nNow I love my job, my students and my school and put an advert on ajarn.com and hey presto, 60 applicants but not one native speaker. To tell you the truth it is not important if the teacher is a native or not, it is the person that is reliable, honest and keeps to their side of any agreement. I managed to rope in a Filipino and by a year\'s time if he sticks here and proves himself then he will get the salary of a native speaker. He has no TEFL [certificate], but his life experiences and his commitment in acquiring the 20 hour Thai Culture Course Certificate told me this guy is worth having. I agree whole heartedly with improving the educational system in Thailand though I wonder how long we all will go bald, with the frustrations of having ideas but not thinking them through as the Teacher\'s Council has painfully demonstrated over the past few months. At 48 I never dreamed of studying again. at 46 I got my TESOL that was hard enough for me but gosh a year of the Graduate Diploma the mind boggles about all the hardships that one may have to endure especially in traveling 10 hours one way to Bangkok every Friday night.\n\nThe school have asked me how we can attract native speakers. I plainly said they are only interested in the money especially in the middle of nowhere, but you can create an English programme seek only truly qualified professionals and pay them 35-40K plus housing. Just do not offer the course to 2600 students as it simply does not work. Well as we all know, Thais love to nod - and I got a nod!\n\nHowever my main gripe is how does one prevent teachers from behaving dishonourably by not abiding by their contracts? The only solution I could think of is to retain 10% of their salary and pay it to them when they leave either at the end of their contract or by serving their notice period of one month. In addition the school pays for the Work permit and for the Brit well they paid a year up front for him and he left after 2 month\'s. The hardworking parents are being messed up by these unsavoury characters. Anyone got any ideas on getting great teachers that not only teach English but behave as respectable decent ambassadors of their own country, if so please send to the postbox',1,'2008-08-07 02:06:24','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb3.jpg','2008-08-07 02:06:24','2008-11-03 16:04:25'),(262,'Views from Laos','views-from-laos','Stephen Thomas in Laos','There should be no surprise to foreign nationals that the Thai Ministry of Education from an educational perspective is trying to improve matters in relation to hiring foreign personnel. I read a recent Yahoo survey which claimed that 40% of foreign teachers in Taipei, Taiwan, hold some false documentation, notably fake degree certificates that they bought in Bangkok.','Hi. I just cannot help but respond to some issues raised in recent posts concerning teaching in Thailand. My background is that virtually my whole teaching career has been in Asia and, I suppose some students may one day soon be labeling me as a “crumbly”, so I’ve been around for quite some years, including mainly for visits but also for work in Thailand. Like Greg of Taiwan I see the attempted introduction of some checks and training in the teacher “acceptance” scenarios of Thailand a positive step by the Ministry of Education. The fact that there are seeming inconsistencies and missing logical steps in new procedures introduced should not pose as a major problem nor present as a complete surprise to those familiar with planning, scheduling, organizing and communication difficulties that are commonplace in Indo-china as a whole. Patience is a virtue in Asia and the acceptance of necessary change is a virtue everywhere.\n\nIn fact there should be no surprise to foreign nationals that the Thai Ministry of Education from an educational perspective is trying to improve matters in relation to hiring foreign personnel. I read a recent Yahoo survey which claimed that 40% of foreign teachers in Taipei, Taiwan, hold some false documentation, notably fake degree certificates that they bought in Bangkok. Yahoo did not provide an account of their procedures in obtaining this information or survey results; however, from my personal experience of working in Thailand as a teacher trainer, Yahoo’s article seems both factually credible in essence (even if the numbers turn out to be inaccurate). It would be interesting to read properly researched reports of the numbers or percentages of fake educational diplomas presented to schools by foreigners within Thailand itself. \n\nNotwithstanding this, unsupported criticism of the Cambridge certificate is unacceptable. It is what it is. To the best of my memory or knowledge the initial motivation for introducing the former RSA certificate/RSA-Cambridge certificate/now the Cambridge CELTA etc. was that English had already moved firmly into being the major international language of communication but there were simply hardly any trained teachers to meet the vastly expanding needs for teachers of \n\nthe students of the world. The quick fix was a condensed short initial training course so that the varied mix of characters who had begun to appear as teachers in classrooms all over the world had the opportunity to study and practice on a survival course which also resulted in the award of a certificate. The expansion of TESL has been so great that the quick-fix course framework has never experienced a time frame sufficient to be replaced by or integrated into a full-course qualification. So the quick-fix mini-course in teaching has never been replaced but, rather, it has been extended upon such that there is now a sub-first degree level diploma.\n\nThe fact that many language schools in Thailand now seem to offer their own mini-course versions in TESL is not necessarily a good thing in all cases, because there is no qualified third-party agency such as a top university, e.g. Cambridge, to monitor standards and formats to maintain high standards. It is a common experience to find that TESL-certificate wielding Western bricklayers are working in Thai schools but have little clue to what they are doing. That’s perhaps just one reason that Thailand comes out bottom of the world league in internationally recognized testing systems.\n\nSo, good on the Ministry of Education. I trust that the format of their new system will gradually revise and improve through their gradually working through any difficulties that arise. Perhaps one day Thailand will host many foreign teachers who are skilled enough in a greater variety and range both of English language skills and up-to-date language teaching skills. Perhaps by then both the certified Western bricklayers and their trained Filipino colleagues will know how to write and present acceptable job-winning application letters and resumes – but that’s another topic that needs addressing in another letter or article.',1,'2008-07-11 02:33:22','','2008-07-11 02:33:22','2008-11-04 10:10:23'),(263,'The native speaker myth','the-native-speaker-myth','Y.

The native speaker myth as believed and promoted by many academics around Thailand is that only a certain tribe of people from selected countries can or should teach English. The truth is that there are no real native speaker who know the language any more in this earth simply because what language is taught in the classroom and in prescribed text books are not used by common people in those countries. \nEnglish is not a language owned by any country and for that matter it is spoken (communicated) appropriately by a larger population of people in countries other than those mentioned as native speaker countries namely U K , U S, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. In simple words more people speak English outside these countries that all the countries put together. \n\nThe main reason for the widespread need to learn the English Language arose due to the advent of the computer, where in programs are written with English text and words. Many folk have much to gain by using unskilled workers to teach English so as to weaken the abilities of a larger population of learners, this in turn will enhance the population of low wage laborers, flesh traders and host of other professions that require very little or no knowledge of a foreign language. The native speaker myth looms over the downfall of the language acquisition abilities of poor innocent Thais. Simply coz the folks in charge want to earn a quick buck and con as many people into believing that they can learn best from someone who was born with the language spoken all around him/ her. \n\nI am a native speaker myself but would not come out front and speak out loud to disturb my bosses or the financiers coz teaching English is what brings food to my stomach. I do however want to create an awareness that would enlighten the educated folk and academics into selecting people who are interested in teaching and not just people who need a job so they can hang around the country for fun( no offense to whom it may disturb but one cannot be a computer programmer if one has not been taught or trained to). To take appropriate steps to make sure that the selected people are genuinely interested in teaching and enhancing the abilities of the local children. \nAll the best to those desiring to live and work as teacher in the land of smiles.',1,'2008-07-09 03:10:18','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb16.gif','2008-07-09 03:10:18','2008-11-04 11:11:19'),(264,'A great opportunity','a-great-opportunity','Rey Murillo','Thai schools nowadays have opened their eyes towards the capacity and fluency of Filipinos in terms of English language than before.

But when I tried to ask them why they took the job, the reply is simply NO CHOICE than nothing. Some of my friends who worked for 2 years in the same school and earned 20,000 baht/month were fired because here comes these neophytes who themselves offered to the school director that 8,000 baht/month is enough for them.

However, I am a black male in my early 30\'s who recently returned from vacation in Bangkok, Pattaya and Ko Samet about 2 1/2 weeks ago; it was my first trip out of the States.

I felt most of the Thai people were very friendly at restaurants and other business establishments, except at one of the money exchange centers near my hotel in Bangkok who was completely rude and barley looked at me, if at all. \n\nThroughout my travels I did very much get stared at.

I went with a group of mostly white men and one half Taiwanese friend and felt they were paid attention to more than I was, but that happens here in the U.S. as well. I met a young Thai female who told our native Thai friend that she had never met a Black American before. I wasn\'t that surprised. Clearly, I was the fish out of water and truly felt it, but I was also completely fine with it. \n\nNeedless to say, I had an amazing time in Thailand and definitely would return. I stumbled upon your blog because I was looking for teaching programs in Thailand. I have decided that I too would like to broaden my horizons and teach in Thailand so I thought, until I read the various blogs from former black teachers. I must say, I have more than a little trepidation about teaching in Thailand, as I certainly do not want the added stress of prejudice and discrimination when I\'m in another country, which is already stressful enough. I am fully aware that the perceptions, stereotypes and flat out racism reach far beyond North America. We as Black Americans can not escape our badge of color; we will live with it through sickness and health, \'till death do us part. \n\nIf there is someone out there who could shed a little more light on their experiences teaching in Thailand or another country I would greatly appreciate it, as I do not want someone else\'s experience to turn me away from pursuing such a rewarding, life changing opportunity and journey across continents.

The students tell me their Thai teacher doesn\'t ever speak to them in English, even when their lesson is English. After being at this school for a while, I\'ve noticed that very few know enough English to even say, \" good morning.\"\n\nI was told, not asked, to participate in the English Club every Friday. The teacher over it is of course a Thai that literally slaughters the English language. At the first meeting, she said a total of six words in English. I counted every one. At the second meeting last Friday, she said a total of thirteen words in English. Last weekend, we had \"open house\". While the other foreign teachers were there, several of us were taking to the director of the English Department and she ask us for ideas on how to improve it. I told her, \"for a start, make the teachers and students speak English when they come in the office.\" One of the other teachers agreed and told her, \"this is the English Department, so the students need to speak English when they come in.\" Another teacher agreed and basically said the same thing. The director said, \"I am going to implement that.\" You must understand, she barely speaks enough English to be coherent herself. Anyway, the very next morning, six students came into the office to talk to the teacher over the English Club, who sits beside me, not one word was spoken in English. The director was also in the office and joined in the conversation with the students. In Thai of course.\n\nLater that morning, I went to my class and all my students were gone. I ask a student teacher passing by, \"do you know where my students are?\" She told me, \" they are watching a cartoon in the Assembly Building. I said, \"a cartoon?\" She said, \"yes, about Bangkok, it\'s kind of like a game show.\" Of course it was in Thai. I went back to my office and the director was there. I told her, \"it\'s no wonder why Thai students can\'t speak English.\" She said, oh?\" I told her, \"until schools get serious about learning English, the students will always speak pigeon English or no English at all.\" She just shrugged her shoulders.\n\nI do not understand how the students learn any English at all.',1,'2008-07-02 03:33:40','','2008-07-02 03:33:40','2008-11-03 17:05:41'),(267,'More time studying please','more-time-studying-please','Brian','The number of people who claim to be English teachers that cannot write so much as one short paragraph without making spelling and/or grammar mistakes.','I have just finished trolling through some of the comments about ageism in the TEFL arena, as well as other topics in your teacher info section, which I think is a great idea because it gives everyone a chance to air their opinions regardless of race, age, religion or any other defect your readers can think of.\nMy reason for writing is two fold; first, the number of people who claim to be English teachers that cannot write so much as one short paragraph without making spelling and/or grammar mistakes. Any person who has had a good education and who takes a pride in their linguistic abilities should be able to write one short paragraph without a single mistake, or at least check it with the grammar and spell check tool on their computer.

I recently had the distasteful job of checking the English exam papers (where I work) for spelling and grammar mistakes, all had been prepared by Filipino teachers (I use the term \'teachers\' loosely) and was appalled at the number of spelling, grammar and vocabulary mistakes that had been made. I gave the teachers in question the benefit of the doubt and assumed they were probably genuine mistakes, but when I pointed the mistakes out they all showed their true colours and arrogantly insisted that I was wrong. The matter was resolved when I handed them a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary and a copy of the Oxford book of grammar and told them to check their work again, then come back and apologise. \nAs an aside, I have a Masters in English Literature, as well as two other degrees and I am very proud of my profession.\n',1,'2008-05-25 17:52:02','','2008-05-25 17:52:02','2008-11-12 15:03:03'),(268,'Don\'t take racism seriously','dont-take-racism-seriously','F.Gibbs','My fellow Americans have made an art of bringing self-inflicted headache and drama overseas.

Consequently, those of us who did the course in March 2008 only have until March 2009 to comply with the new regulations.

However, I heard about a certain kind of scam on October last year about a certain recruiter of teachers from the Philippines. This might expose the Filipinos to another bad image again, but it might even be worst if more fellow, poor, Filipino teachers will be losing their hard-borrowed or loaned (not earned) money to such unscrupulous people. It took me months to think about this, and balance the situation, before I finally decided to inform Ajarn. What this person allegedly did was to contact more that 20 teachers and required each one to pay 50,000 pesos (about 41,000 baht) for a guaranteed teaching job here in Thailand. I\'m not sure if this included the air fare or not, although I strongly suspect that it did not. Apartment rent along with food allowance were not also included. So these poor teachers had to bring additional money that will sustain them until they will be lucky enough to find their employers. If when, only God knows.\n\nOn arriving here, this recruiter started bringing this platoon of teachers to the different advertised teaching agencies and schools. Of course each one had to undergo interviews along with other normal procedures that should be done when a teacher applies for a teaching position, which was contrary to what the recruiter promised. It was supposed to be a GUARANTEED WAITING TEACHING JOB. The recruiter also applied and had to undergo interview himself/herself (not sure if it’s a male or a female). The group was just lucky enough to find a newly opened school needing more than twenty teachers, and so they were all hired. Well at least, just for that semester. I just hope that these already got their job contract for the next academic year. Otherwise, you know what I mean.\n\nI tried informing one of the TV stations in the Philippines about this but I still got no reply from them, nor any acknowledgement that they received the information.

','I have been teaching overseas for many years now. In fact, I have 31 years of overseas experience. I have mixed feelings about Thailand and the schools. The United States has had its similar problems in education about the time that the society went from agriculture to industrialization. Few were highly educated and those were mostly in the Northeastern parts of the country. But technology forced the system to change. Thailand is now faced with the same pressures as society is moving into the industrial era. Don\'t get things wrong. The number one problem is culture. Many of our cultures from the west are a mix of ideas and influences that immigration, conguest, colonizations, etc... brought into our countries. We were exposed and through assimilation adapted many ideas and ways into our cultures that are who we are today.\n\nThailand is just now realizing it has a problem with identity among the rest of the world. That is o.k. for them as it is natural at this time. Our countries are demanding, fast and pro-active. This will happen in time to Thailand. There are many good students and schools. I have been very fortunate but did not realize it until I looked back on a position that I did not understand at the time. If we wait China will force many changes in the thinking of Thailand. As other Asian countries prosper and move ahead Thailand will reluctantly move ahead. It will pick up speed and get with the world program. I am sorry to say it. In many ways the west could learn from the Thai ways.\n\nA great river starts with a single drop of water. Perhaps only a few drops pass each of us but one day they will join together as elders of society and form puddles and small tributaries that will eventually find each other. Time will cure all.

Our truth is what we understand and perceive it to be.\n\nAs educated people we should present a supported argument to something we have a difference with. Here however; it is easy to red mark those with whom you disagree without regard to professional reputation to the forum. Yes, I have been red marked and I only realize that the people that did it are insecure and sensitive in their own person. They label me a non-reputable person not because I posted lies about Thailand or teaching. They labeled me because I made a remark about their heritage, culture, or race not because of them but of an observation of those that attention gave notice to me and the rest of the world. I have never met anyone here in ajarn. So how could I direct it to you. I can substantiate my observations in the general not the personal. They offer no rebuttal but only a red mark and a label of racist. I am not a 100% racist although I, like everyone else, do have some prejudices.\n\nEveryday, people demean the United States and its people. I understand that. I am a US citizen. I also agree with many things they say. I am also man enough to understand that while I have to carry the passport, I am not the people that many hate. I am me. I do not get upset because I know me and I can stand as an individual on my own merit and support criticism. Yes, support it. I am free and have the right to free speech but not to judge without support and then it is only viable to me individually. \n\nThe ajarn forum is controlled in my opinion by a few people that want to direct the forums their way.

Regardless of the curriculums I write, teacher trainings I administer, textbooks I research for months before selecting, communication with the parents, or the amount of time I put into the process and procedures for running our program - our success (or lack thereof) relies on one thing - the teachers we recruit.\n\nForget my standards of wanting someone with a BA in teaching, a TEFL certificate, a native-speaker of English, and some experience teaching in Thailand - I\'m to the point where I will recruit anyone - qualified or not - who will take the time to submit a decent cover letter and resume. If you cannot even type your name with the correct capitalization (i.e. John Smith not john smith) or reference the job correctly (\"Third Grade Teacher\" not \"Third Grades\") or properly address my job posting (i.e. your resume is full of references for teaching at a university when I\'m recruiting for a primary school teacher) - then you have no business applying for the job to begin with. And I won\'t even mention the horrendous spelling mistakes (for crying out loud - we have auto spell checker - just click the icon). Too many foreign teachers in Thailand have been wasting my time.\n\nThe biggest mistake people make on their resumes is they forget to indicate the locations of their employment and education. Please do not assume that everyone in the world knows that Moloy Elementary is some school in the Philippines. Do not assume that if you write Jackson University that I will know that means you were in Poland.\n\nI have received approximately 40 resumes in the past 2 days, and only 3 of them had the caliber of a professional. No lie....\nFor anyone seriously trying to land a decent teacher position, here are my Top 3 tips:\n\n1) Read the job posting. Don\'t blindly send your resume to a hundred schools. If you\'re worth it and think highly enough about yourself and believe in your qualifications, you will be selecting only those jobs that truly meet your expectations and have high standards.\n\nIf I say I need a cover letter and your photo to accompany your resume, this means exactly that. If any of these items are missing, your resume is immediately deleted. End of story....\n\n2) Write a brief cover letter specific to that job posting. This demonstrates you are taking the time to be a professional. (And believe me, with the poor pickings we have for teachers lately - this extra step goes along way in getting my attention).\n\n3) Be sure you indicate the city and country locations for all your employment and education line items. Your resume shouldn\'t be a guessing game. I shouldn\'t have to comb through it to try and decipher where you\'ve been. You state your a Canadian, yet you speak Spanish, and have been working at Yokomoto University and volunteered at the Tsunami Childcare Center. This tells me nothing without knowing where these places are.\nNow, the sad thing about this situation is I shouldn\'t have to state the basics of \"Resume Writing 101 for Dummies\". \n\nPlease, someone tell me where are the great teachers in Thailand are?!?!

Asia sells skin whiteners, America has tanning booths, and beach bums working on their tans all day...

I am looking for people who are open-minded too. I hate seeing the two sides argue when they could be working together to accomplish something. I spent four years studying chemical engineering at UCSB. I then had to drop out due to financial problems. No degree for me because I didn\'t take Art History and Literature 3. Does this make me any less of a chemical engineer? I\'ve never even had an interview. Some companies have called me though saying that they would love to hire me just for my personality over the phone. Unlike most engineers, I am not socially retarded. Usually, after winning every argument against why I am still a better candidate than all others, people will finally use the excuse of not being able to finish something that I started. This was true (TEN YEARS AGO)! Aren\'t we all different after a decade has gone by? I have everything that any other engineer has except for a framed piece of paper with signatures on it hung on the wall behind me. I two lovers get stranded on an island before they get married, does this mean that they will never love each other as much as they could have? It is JUST a piece of paper. \n\nI have nothing against people with degrees. In fact, having to hire before, it is an amazing attribute, and it distinguishes them incredibly between those without . . . usually. Not always though. American Universities are a bureaucracy. We stress that we want our children to be well rounded, but we drive them into insanity with tons of homework in mathematics and English only. There are other kinds of smart. Now our schools have no music, art, or sports. Kids are only going to excel in what they are interested in (unless you are an amazing teacher). Amazing teachers do not motivate, although most will say that this is the most important thing that a teacher can do. Amazing teachers inspire. But you cannot inspire when having no creative freedom. People don\'t become teachers, or doctors, for the money. It\'s the passion.\n\nIn Brazil, they let their high-schoolers choose their own classes. True, some never take Portuguese, and some never take math. We can all teach ourselves these thing later though if we finally want to learn. Patch Adams stated a free hospital. I would like to start a free university. He had 4000 doctors in one week apply to help him. This is because doctors are tired of there situations. I know many Mexican now who go to med school to then practice medicine in their homes under the table. Regardless of how good they are, this is what happens when people do not have insurance. And I am glad the government would never be able to fully regulate this. I wouldn\'t be surprised one day though if a law was passed saying that everyone who is alive has to pay for health insurance. No matter what age or if the even have a job.\n\nMany companies legally cannot hire me now because laws are passed that say people need degrees to work for them. If they get audited, and the powers at be find that their best employee has no degree, everybody else has their paychecks stopped. \n\nThe fact that a college is accredited means very little to me too. Like I said before though, I don\'t think that degrees and certifications are bad. I just think that people and companies can teach themselves skills and reach levels of experience that can even surpass those constrained by educational algorithms.\n\nI\'ve taught English, Spanish, French, mathematics, physics, chemistry, soccer, photography, art, and scuba diving under the table in over ten countries for the past ten years. I have no certificate in any of these fields except English. I received my ESL certificate only to find out that no company can hire me. Some of them have offered to pay me under the table, but I won\'t do this anymore. They gasp when they realize that it would be illegal to hire me. This is America\'s fault. We think that this is such a great country that everybody would try to come here if they could (I know Mexicans who want to go back to Mexico now). There is an increasing amount of people who want to leave this place now. All of you out there do not have to understand why. You just have to accept it. I am not 9 out of ten people. I know that I have always been different. I do love how clean America is, how I can be rescued if I am in a car accident, and how I can be given antibiotics for an infection. But all of this does not outweigh the freedom I feel in third world countries. Here in Ecuador (where I am now), I can drink a beer walking down the street. And I can ride on a motorcycle without a helmet. You might think that these things are small, but they mean the world to me. I spent 350 dollars on forms trying to renounce my American citizenship. They said no. I owe no money and am on good standings in all areas of life. They use the excuse of where will I go? This is bogus. A free country is somewhere that you can go to legally and prosper. They other side of a free country is somewhere that you can leave. Is there a price for freedom? If so, then it shouldn\'t be called FREEdom.\n\nI just read a description for a ESL (I\'ll say it again - ESL) teacher need. The only requirement is a degree in ANY field. At the bottom it says that no ESL certification is needed.

In 2 years time I taught at 6 different high schools, ranging from the rich, private school to the poor government schools. Teaching at high school could better be referred to as teaching at \"hell school\". I came to Thailand on 7 separate occasions, 7 consecutive years. I saw students everywhere in their cute white/black, white/blue uniforms. I saw great respect for their King and for monks and Buddism in general and I thought it would be a teachers heaven to teach such respectful and obedient people. I have some very good Thai friends and so I was so naive to think everybody was like that.So.....as soon as I started to teach in Bangkok, I saw that my dream became an absolute horror movie.    \n\nChildren at school (high school that is) have no respect whatsoever. Don\'t get me wrong, not every student was bad. I had some nearly perfect classes like Mathayom 6/1, 5/1, 4/1 and these student were obedient and respectful and did what I asked them to do (doing their assignments, reading texts and so on) and it was a real pleasure to teach them, but unfortunately 90% of the classes following slash 1 (Mathayom 6/3, 5/3 whatever.....) were most of the time absolute hell. Especially the Mathayom 3, 4 slash 4,5 where pure hell.\n\nMy biggest frustrations at school:\n- classes ranging from 30 up to 50 students in one class (impossible to handle and to teach)\n- Thai substitute teachers sometimes present, sitting in the corner of the class, who were \nsupposed to help keeping order, doing nothing, just hang behind their desks without interfering\n- fighting, phoning (with their mobile phones), playing music on their mobile phones, playing soccer \nin the class room etc., you name it, I have seen and experienced all of it\n- people enter the classroom far too late and start to create chaos among the others\n- complete and utter disrespect in some classes because they think you are a farang, a white \nmonkey (this was said to me in my face on several occasions)\n\nAt all schools I had no right to straighten them out. There are no rules whatsoever. Yes, I went to the head of department and the director on many different occasions and they came with me to the classroom and then after some \"harsh talks\" with the students, they were quiet for 5 minutes and then everything started again. I had classes full of wannabe pop stars, checking their faces and their Korean/Japanese soap-styled-hairdo\'s in their little pocket mirrors every single moment, just sitting there chewing gum and laughing about me. I had some very hard confrontations with them, telling them that they could laugh about me and disrespect me but at the end of the day I would still make my money and that is far more than they will ever make at the 7-eleven when they leave school.\n\nWise ass little shit-heads everywhere. They leave their books at home on purpose and just sit there wasting their time while chewing gum and completely disrespecting you. I had a Thai teacher, she was one of the English teachers that taught them 3 hours a week, and this woman always came to my worst classes, just to have a \"peek\". These classes were absolutely disastrous, no books, no understanding whatsoever of the English language, you name it.....\n\nShe used to come to my class and ask me: \"what are you going to teach them today?\". I said to her:\" they didn\'t bring their books again, like every day and they don\'t understand a word of English, so I can not read with them and practise pronunciation, so there\'s nothing much I can do\". So she used to react a little pissed at me every time and so one day she started to get on my nerves and I told her:\"Why is it, that these children have no understanding whatsoever of the English language while you, a Thai teacher who speaks Thai perfectly and also English perfectly teaches them 3 hours a week?\". \n\"If I would be able to speak Thai perfectly like you do and had the ability to explain them every single word, I bet your ass they would speak English quite well within a year\". Yeh, bingo, she silenced....but didn\'t like what I said. Yes, and I didn\'t like it, this same questioning routine several times a week while they don\'t handle any set of rules to straighten these children out who are unwilling to learn.\n\nYes, nice line-up every morning at 8. Nice pep talk every morning at 8, but nobody gives a shit.\nI see 60 year old teachers who are working for the same school for more than 20/30 years and they don\'t have the energy anymore to do anything to improve the situation. At one school some Thai teachers told me in my first week that my next 2 hours that day would be absolute hell and that no teacher could handle them, but that day I handled them perfectly, but every hour is a struggle, a war of words and mimic, a complete and utter headache crash course.\n\nThe list of what is wrong in the educational system in Thailand is endless and this is due to the system, the parents and the teachers.\nThe system: at most schools were I was there were no exams! People just pass to the next year. No pressure, no study, no nothing.\nThe parents: they don\'t give a shit and lack any substantial knowledge whatsoever to motivate and educate or force their children to study. School is just a building where you drop your pain-in-the-ass children and have some hours of peace and quiet. Later in the evening? Let\'s watch some soaps: evening long, brainless entertainment with beautiful-bad-acting-screaming-white-skin models (in whatever word order you want...).\n\nAfter school they eat and then most of the children disappear again in the soi and go to the game-shops and play computer games till midnight or after, nobody gives a shit.\n\nThe teachers: most Thai teachers don\'t care anymore, they just make a living and get their money anyway. Almost every farang teacher that I know does the same (and I know at least 30 in Bangkok). They tell me:\"what the f*ck do you get angry about? The are just monkeys......take your money at the end of the month and just don\'t care about them! That\'s Thailand! It\'s a joke! \n\nAt the expensive private high schools they don\'t do much also, otherwise Hi-so daddy will take his child from school and put them somewhere else and teaching is big business in Bangkok, for the schools that is! Rich parents pay a lot to see their children off at some Hi-so school where the real native English speaking \"monkey\" teaches and where you have \"English summer camps\". They all want \"the real deal\" to teach their children English.\n\nMy list is endless. And also this \"native English teacher\" bullshit. The Thai still thinks that everyone coming from a native English speaking country is top and anyone else, non-native speaker is not good enough. What a big laugh! It\'s such a farce! I had a conversation with a guy from Manchester the other day and the day after with an Irish guy and don\'t forget the Cockney accent or Aussie..... God help us! Even I could hardly understand them!\n\nThere are native English speaking teachers around for more than 20 years and what is the level of English till now among the common Thai? Zero and non-existing! Only some rich Thai people who have the money to go to some of the better schools, or the ones who can afford to go abroad, are able to speak English to a certain extend.And yes....all these little hustlers in the tourist areas like Khaosan and Silom/Sukhumvit, bar girls and such, they know to a certain extend to \"use\" the English language, standing or horizontal. It\'s one big joke and unfortunately a sad one.\n\nI see teachers getting hired and getting paid 40/50.000 Baht a month, who have absolutely no good knowledge to be at these positions. But just because they are \"handsome\" and/or know the right people, schools and universities offer them a job (even ask them to marry their daughters...). \n\nWhy do I get angry? I came because I like Thai people, I came to help them, no problem if I have to stay longer to teach them as long as they are eager and willing to learn, I will stay, even though it\'s my own time, nothing paid, I don\'t care.\nI am a real teacher..',1,'2007-12-30 20:02:45','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb13.jpg','2007-12-30 20:02:45','2008-11-04 10:10:46'),(282,'Why not accept life degrees?','why-not-accept-life-degrees','James D','Is it cheating? Some people may feel this way, but read through this website and there are many posts supporting the fact possessing a university degree does not make you a better or worse teacher than the next teacher, it\'s down to proving yourself as an individual in the classroom. ','I have read the FAQ section and have seen the information on the life experience university degrees people have posted. \nI agree with you that using the life experience degree for the purpose of proving your skill to get a higher paid position is pretty pointless, as a potential employer will check where the degree came from and know this is not a degree earned by spending time in education. They are a con and useless as you say, but useless depends on the purpose. \n\nMy friend now teaches in Vietnam and used a fake degree while previously working in Thailand but recently decided to move on. Vietnam also has the same requirement for a university degree but they are a lot stricter with checking degrees than Thailand so no fakes. He applied for a life time bachelor degree in teaching English and gained his VISA successfully by using this degree. It was his experience and professionalism that counted for the school, not the degree technicality. \n\nAlthough the life time degree is useless none the less it does provide you with a bachelor\'s degree. As long as you are only using the degree to get through the technicality of the requirement to possess a degree to gain a work permit it has its uses. It is especially useful if you want to teach English legally in Thailand but don\'t already have a degree or the time and money to spend 3-4 years studying to obtain a degree. \n\nOk so someone with a proper degree rightly deserves the better higher paid jobs, however there are many lower paying schools that only ask for a degree as a technicality to process Visa\'s even though they are not bothered whether or not you posses a degree so long as you have a TEFL. This would especially be true of schools that point you in the direction of Koh San for your degree. Possessing one of these life degrees at a bachelor\'s degree level at least makes the schools daunting job of making their teacher legal easier for them. \n\nSo people with degrees gained by going to Uni can carry on taking the higher paid jobs and people with the lifetime degrees can replace the fake degree with their real life bachelors degree. Besides as I said at the beginning, if you went for a job where the employer really does require you have a degree whereby you actually attended uni they are not going to hire you if you have a lifetime degree after they have run checks. \n\nPossessing a life degree won\'t get you a better paid job but it will legally get you a work permit and teaching license for the places that would otherwise allow you to supply fake degree credentials. Possessing one of these degrees to gain a work permit also means the teacher does not potentially run the risk of being thrown in a Thai jail for 10 years on a fraud charge for possessing fakes and the school does not run the risk of being caught out accepting fake degrees. The life degree is fully checkable, accredited world wide and also provides transcripts. \n\nIs it cheating? Some people may feel this way, but read through this website and there are many posts supporting the fact possessing a university degree does not make you a better or worse teacher than the next teacher, it\'s down to proving yourself as an individual in the classroom.

There is also something wrong with a society that it is ok to drive one the wrong side of the road. So much so that the police even do it.

Busses, taxis, and others do not mind if the run you off the road as long as they can get ahead of you. Why is it so important to a Thai to be first in everything? If you stop at a traffic light and you are the first one there, you can bet there will be five or more motorcycles that will get in front of you. If you are in a line anywhere, someone is going to try and get in front of you.

He realizes the first day, he is not a teacher, so he turns on the charm and gets his supervisor interested in him. She helps him teach the little darlings. Realizing he needs a way to get around town, he turns on the charm again and gets his supervisor to pick him up and take him where he needs to go everyday. He is also assigned to teach second grade. Again, he elicits his supervisor to help him teach because he doesn\'t have a clue what to do. \n\nPayday finally comes and he can\'t afford to eat, so yep, you guessed it, gets his neighbors and anyone else he can to feed him.

His cousin comes to visit and she doesn\'t have a bed to sleep in, so again, you guessed it, the one he\'s \"in love\" with buys her a bed and a TV to watch while she is here.

I too, had many concerns when I decided to leave my home country, the United States. I went to Iraq for three years and worked. During that time I would visit \"home\" about two times a year. When I finally had enough of the problems in Iraq, I returned to my \"home\". Except, home wasn\'t home anymore. Sure, the buildings were still there and there were more every time I visited, but the people that attracted me there 37 years ago, had changed. I realized I didn\'t hardly know anyone. I felt like I was a stranger in the town I grew to love and made my home in. I guess it is human nature to want to be around familiar surroundings. In my case, something was missing.\n\nI had been to Thailand many times on vacation and met several people that later became close friends. So, being at \"home\" wondering what the next chapter in my life was going to be, I decided that \"home\" isn\'t about familiar surroundings. It\'s about where you are the most happiest. So, I decided to sell the building I called \"home\" and all the furniture and move to Thailand. I had heard horror stories about securing a job before I arrived, but being some what of a rebel and not taking any one\'s advice, I secured a job over the Internet. No contract, just an email telling me I had a job when I arrived, the details, and a contact phone number. I had never heard of the city I received the job offer from, so a friend met me at the airport and assisted me in getting to Suphanburi.\n\nAfter checking in a hotel, I called my contact number and in 10 minutes, I had my supervisor picking me up. I was shown the town and all places I might need to go, IE; Tesco Lotus, my school, etc. My supervisor assisted me in getting settled in every way possible. She even arranged a tuk-tuk to pick me up every day, take me to school, and home in the afternoon. Later, she assisted me in getting an house and moving in, finding a house keeper, buying furniture, etc. \nI have been at the same school for two years. There is a lot of things I do not like, but the things I do like far out weigh the things I don\'t like. \nSo, to Dave and Julia I would say, you only live once, so take the chance and enjoy the ride.

The standard rate is 30,000 baht a month for most places. I don\'t know about you or the readers, but I find it hard to live on that amount. I do not drink or go to bars, nor do I have a night life. \n\nI do however, live comfortable with my wife and son and every month it is a struggle to make it until the next payday. I hope that just maybe the schools will realize the pay is too low and do something about it. The Thai teachers in my school make 10,000 a month and live on that, but the way the Thai\'s live, they can. For a farang to live even similar to the way we did in our home countries, it is very hard.\n\nAfter going through the work permit, teacher license, and visa fiasco, it seems like the Thai government makes it very difficult for a person to leave their home country and want to come here to work.

I get B25, 000 per month for twenty three classes. This is pretty much the norm in Chiang Mai. My original posting was aimed at teachers in Chiang Mai, not all of Thailand. From Long Term Ajarn Expat’s last posing we can see that you have a salary in excess of B40, 000. From this we can deduce that you are probably in Bangkok. Here in Chiang Mai things are a bit different: we have to manage on B25, 000. Sounds like a lot, but it soon gets swallowed up, especially when you have a family. \n\nThe costs of living here isn’t that much less than in Bangkok, I know because I’ve lived in Bangkok. The wage to cost of living ratio in Chiang Mai is the worst in Thailand. Don’t bother telling me to move; my wife wouldn’t leave her family. I wish I had you’re salary. It would mean that I wouldn’t have to borrow a couple of thousand from a Thai colleague nearly every month. She’s cool about lending me the money though as she earns more than me and doesn’t usually go short at the end of the month. Yes, that’s right, a Thai teacher earning more than me. She’s just a teacher and not a department head or director. Most of the Thai teachers who have been working here longer than five years earn more than me as they get an annual wage increase; however, I teach more classes than any of them. It seems that schools are only interested in employing those who are here short term or have a pension; obviously they want to pay as little as possible which is why there is such a huge turnover in teachers every year; nobody can afford to stay here and teach. The man with a family needs to teach evenings and weekend (every hour God sends) to make ends meet. \n\nSome people seem intent on keeping the status quo. I prefer change and progress for the better. The recent changes in attitude by the M.O.E. pertaining to western teacher’s qualifications, has been both a change and progress for the better. Stop! I can’t bear hearing “Some teachers with PhDs in education can’t teach for toffees, but some teachers with no qualifications whatsoever are brilliant.” This is clearly an exception to the rule, if we assume the qualifications are genuine. It’s true that some people have a naturally gifted and have great presence in the classroom, but surely you can’t believe that this person would not benefit and develop into a better teacher with training. \n\nFar too many people feel threatened by teachers with educational qualifications in excess of a TEFL certificate. I can’t imagine why as there will never be an influx of PhDs in education coming to Thailand as the salaries are insufficient to justify such a move. Ah-ha! There it is, isn’t it? No wonder you feel that salaries should stay as they are. Are you terrified of being supplanted? Or is it because you’re in Bangkok which obviously makes you far more deserving of a higher salary than the likes of a mere Chiang Mai commoner like me? I’d like to see how you’d get on with B20, 000 less per month. You’d wet yourself after five minutes.

I have probably the best teaching job in Thailand. I work for a university in the north and it is one of the most beautiful campuses I have ever seen. Lakes and gardens, wonderful sports facilities, friendly students and staff. I teach 10 hours/week and edit scientific papers for my Faculty. I have a Thai wife, live on campus, go everywhere on my bike, and am in my sixties. I earn 30,000 B/ month. It\'s possible to earn more in the public schools but I am a university teacher. \n\nMy normal expenses for the month are: \n1. Rent 1500B. This is for an on-campus apt. and includes electricity and water. I admit that this is cheap but I\'ve been to apartments in Bangkok that were very nice and were in the 2,500-3,000B range. My wife recently showed me furnished condos in Bangkok that where costing 3000B/month .\n2. I give 3000B/ month to my wife. This is her money and she uses it mostly to support her father.\n3. Food and drink comes to 9000B/month. This includes, 100B/day for 3 large Chiang which is delivered to my apt. by one of the cleaning ladies - for this service I pay her 400B/ month. 200B/ day covers groceries and necessities : soap, talcum, etc.\n4. We pay 240B/ month for cable.\nTotal: 13,140B/ month approx. \n\nWe cook at home because we prefer it and it probably costs more than eating out. I llike to read and the university has a decent library. We go to my wife\'s village every 2-3 months for 3-4 days and take 2 Thai travelling holidays/ year.\n\nWhat happens with all the rest of the money? It took 2.5 years but by the end of Sept/07 we will have completed a beautiful, modern, totally paid-for house. Try doing that in Canada!!!!! In 1.5 years we will have the money to go back to Canada,for a vacation, to visit friends and family. This is all on a salery of 30,000B. I make O.T. money editing but none of that money goes into any of these equations. 30,000B/month is peak salery at Thai universities. You want to make money, teach kindergarten and do o.t.

Do you think that someone with degrees in education can’t teach more proficiently than someone with a degree in engineering? Do you think that the teachers intending to stay for a one year working holiday, and who are not concerned about renewing their contracts, are going to apply themselves as much as the teacher who lives here and has a family to support? Do you think Aiwa speakers are as good as Bose speakers? You either pay for the quality or you settle for mediocrity. At least you’ll have some music. Long Term Expat (if you really are that), as far as “kicking back” is concerned, I don’t. \n\nThis is truly the ugly face of the west: backpack mentality teaching. I’m building a life here. I am contributing to society as well as providing for my family. Have you ever heard the following? “Wow! Teaching is easy, and I’m so much better at it than the Thai teachers. I don’t need to improve or put in too much effort.” Backpack teaching is such an asset to Thailand, don’t you think? It’s no wonder that schools get non native foreigners to teach English. At least they put in an honest days work and don’t kick back. If you teach then you should be striving to be the best teacher that you possibly can. As far as dictating salaries to schools is concerned, well, I’m not. I’m informing them of what it would cost to employ me, not you. If you’re happy with what you get then stick with it. Good for you. I happen to fall in the category of Both, hence I cost more.\n\nLet’s talk more about money for a moment. Mr. Disappointed, you might learn some things about the Thai education system. My school had, stress had, an English programme. I found out how much the student fees were and deducted the salaries of all foreign teachers. After three years the school made a clear profit of over B3 million. This is a government school mind you. Not bad for a non profit organization. Unfortunately, the programme ended because the school couldn’t entice a replacement native speaker and settled for a Frenchman to save a couple of thousand baht per month (how greedy is that?). Of course none of the students, or I, could understand his accent so the parents complained and the programme was axed. What did the school spend this B3 million on? They acquired several electronic whiteboards. O.k. this is good, but alas only the Thai teachers get to use them. Never mind, it’s still good for the students.\n\nThe new director of the school had a Chinese fortune teller come into the school, and from his mystical advice the director had his office extended at the cost of B375, 000 while the students sit on broken chairs. The point is that every school cries “poverty” when recruiting westerners, when in fact they make a nice profit out of you. If you think they only pay what they can afford then you are extremely gullible. Of course they’re entitled to make some money. The schools need money albeit to be wasted on the director gaining face. I don’t have a problem with them making money from me, but I’d like to see the money spent wisely though. \n\nHere are some facts that are not common knowledge, and your school will probably deny (one again, Mr. Disappointed, you might learn something): The government pays its schools a monthly budget of just over B19, 000 to pay for the foreign teacher’s salary. I’ve seen the advice note from the government to the school (fortunately I can read Thai). This amount is our minimum salary by law. If the school wants to pay you more it’s up to them. Do they want Aiwa or Bose? Student’s fees are more for the students that study with you and as a result the schools make money. Did you think they made a loss? In addition, if your school lays you off for any reason other than gross misconduct then you are entitled to severance pay. We do have some human rights here. These are the facts that you probably didn’t know and are now either in shock or denial. As I mentioned before, if you’re in an English Programme then they make millions, and the director is laughing all the way to the bank (let’s not forget how rife corruption is in this country, and how most school directors manage to afford top of the range Mercedes on their salaries). They’ve been playing us like a tune.\n\nSo, now you’re no longer ignorant about school monies. Whether you want to be naïve or not now is your own affair.\n',1,'2007-07-05 19:00:49','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb30.jpg','2007-07-05 19:00:49','2008-11-12 15:03:50'),(291,'Wake up and smell the coffee','wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee','Mr Crazy in Chiang Mai','Come on schools, think about it.

Why is that? There’s a shortage of teachers. The teachers who are still around aren’t taking the poorly paid slave jobs that they were forced to take when there were loads of backpackers sliding into the teaching industry and keeping wages at an appalling level. Some schools have slightly increased salaries and some are simply settling for non natives. One school has a more competitive salary but who’d want to work at a Muslim school? I approached one school that was offering B25,000 per month with a counter proposal of B32,000, to which they replied “mai ow kap”. They filled the position with a teacher new to Thailand who had just arrived from their home country of Ghana. I wish that school luck; they’re going to need it I think. \n\nCome on schools, think about it. You’ve had your time of getting native speakers for pennies. That time is coming to an end.

How it has 6 week classes with a week off after that time so one could get out and see Southeast Asia easy and cheaply. I told them of the transportation and the best prices of each.

After three months in Bangkok studying the potential for foreigners to teach here, I -- and a number of other foreign TEFL teachers I have met -- plan to return to China and elsewhere where foreign teachers are not treated with suspicion and a surprising lack of respect. My credentials are good which is why I was selected as a teacher for one of Thailand\'s best teaching jobs at one of the top universities. I have thirty years of teaching experience including 5 years at an American university, TEFL certification from a high quality course, bachelors and masters degrees, and many years working in business, education. and the arts in the U.S. as well as in Japan, China, and Egypt. \n\nWhy then did the technology and communications department of one of Thailand\'s most renowned universities present me and other new foreign teachers with a \"no compromise\" contract demanding:\n-- 2 months notice required of intention to quit the position, \n-- only 3 times per year when leaving was allowable,\n-- and (worst of all), if the teacher decides to leave before the year contract ends, they are expected to repay 1/2 (one half) of all payments received from the university?\n\nFurther, no provision was made for the expenses and difficulties of starting a new life in a new country. Contrast that with the many schools in China which compete to offer foreigners a free apartment outfitted with broadband and cable TV, roundtrip airfare to their home country, one-month holiday pay plus national holidays, and a salary that is normally at least double the typical local income. As one qualified but disgruntled foreign teacher wrote on the very valuable and informative TEFL website, www.ajarn.com , \"Why would anyone come here to teach?\"\n\nRepeatedly, foreign teachers have complained to me that Thai administrators have little concept of a teacher\'s needs or rationale for teaching in a foreign country. Teachers are expected to punch in at 9 am and out at 5 pm -- a schedule which was explained to me by a department director as \"only fair and what was expected of Thai staff.\" This uncompromising administrator had no interest whatsoever in hearing arguments -- \"take it or leave it.\" I was advised that \"In Thailand, no one negotiates with the leaders -- it would be considered disrespectful. \" I would argue that the most successful contracts are \"win-win\" compromises. This attitude seems to be both short-sighted and destructive of morale. Sadly, too, teachers find their students are poorly prepared and unmotivated. to learn. Basic study skills are lacking among even the highest level university students who consistently neglect to do their homework or prepare for tests. Witness a meeting I attended in which the chair (a computer expert) reported students had done poorly on their English exams and asked for a quantitative report of numbers of words learned by students. The foreign English teachers tried to argue that language learning was qualitative, not quantitative. Neither side understood the others\' point-of-view and, as there was no discussion, an impasse was reached in which both sides were offended.\n\nGovernment bureaucrats have attempted to address the problems by imposing a steadily increasing number of restrictions on foreign teachers. When I attempted to find work at a well-known private language school franchise, I was told that in order to begin legal teaching work, it would be necessary to change my non-immigrant B visa to the new school (1-2 weeks), obtain a teacher\'s license (45 days), and then wait for a work permit (1-2 weeks). At best, it would be 1 to 2 months before the paperwork could be completed. This after the expense of having to leave the country to obtain the non-immigrant visa. \n\n\"Teach at an international school,\" many people said, \"Teachers there receive high salaries.\" But in nearly the same breath, I was also told about crackdowns and interrogations made of foreign teachers in recent years. A few criminals had slipped into the international schools and now governmental officials are hotly pursuing foreigners with falsified credentials. It seems \"a few bad apples spoil the whole barrel.\" With the talk of bombings, shootings, and revolution in the air; censorship of movies and websites; and the daily experience of higher prices charged to foreigners, Thailand seems to be an increasingly uncomfortable place for foreigners to stay. \n\nFor those foreigners willing to devote their time and energies to quality teaching, it can be a bitterly disillusioning experience. With the salaries going lower and the benefits (medical and other insurance, housing, etc.) fewer, and the cost of living increasing, teachers who have been here for years are now leaving the country. Faced with contracts like the ones I have been presented with over the past three months, few quality teachers would choose to remain. Thailand has options as it is such a beautiful country with lovely, intelligent people. I urge school administrators and government bureaucrats to look to the 21st Century hiring practices of Human Resource departments in international businesses and enlightened governments in other countries. Please -- understand that a foreigner comes to a new country to experience the best, not the worst, of another culture. Understand that increasing restrictions is a form of imprisonment and that most people will wish to escape authoritarian practices. Understand that if you treat an experienced, quality professional from the start with suspicion, you encourage criminals and mediocrity and will lose the best people. Understand that teaching requires considerable experience and training to achieve quality and therefore should be compensated and respected accordingly.\n\nAs for me, I\'m going back to China next week -- where I feel physically safer and am a much more valued commodity.

If you want to put your degree to good use then you should work in a western country or at least a developed country. Those with degrees who complain about teachers without degrees, unless you have a B.Ed you are not qualified yourselves. There are plenty of jobs in the western world so why aren\'t you filling them? \n\nThe people with degrees have great opportunities to work anywhere in the world so why have they chosen Thailand? Have they chosen to drop out of their own society to mix with their inferior fellow teachers especially when they are trying to become the supreme educators? Do they feel like they are someone here? The West is booming so why not stay at home with your home comforts and leave the pennies for the non qualified folk to fight over? Thailand is a wonderful place that everybody enjoys for their own reasons so why do people have to complain and whinge about each other here? Are their minds still functioning like a western busybody who looks over his or her neighbors\' fence? Sad sad sad is all I can say. \n\nIf you want to be a real teacher and get a real teaching job then ply your trade in the West where the big bucks are that\'s if you really are any good at teaching and you are really qualified. Thailand would be better place if people would leave their Western attitudes at home and start taking the approach of the Thai people and tending to the needs of the students and not their own self-importance.',1,'2007-03-29 20:19:49','','2007-03-29 20:19:49','2008-11-12 15:03:50'),(297,'Did the lawyers have real degrees?','did-the-lawyers-have-real-degrees','Ajarn ba ba bor bor ','Opinions on the arrest of two foreign teachers for working with fake degrees.','Master G and A went to jail for having fake degrees!

Master A could have displayed his showmanship in the courtroom, Perry Mason style, i.e. \"I would like to direct the jury\'s attention to the evidence, namely my allegedly fake degree. Now I ask you, is that not real? I mean, feel it for yourselves, the quality, the workmanship.\" Then he could have had his university professors and his mom as witnesses for the defense, along with newspaper clippings and photos of himself at graduation. \n\nThe evidence would be compelling until-at the last second- the prosecution calls in Mr P, star witness for the prosecution!

Mr P. could even write a book titled, what else \"Master A, Star Witness for the Prosecution in the Thailand Fake Degree Scandal\" with a big grinning photo of Mr P. and a scowling Master A, in shackles and chains, and then it would become a made for TV movie, Mr P. would have been set for life.\n\nSeriously, does Mr.P visit them in prison? And presumably, they will be immediately deported upon release, or else they could go work at Sarasas I guess. Since they aren\'t teachers, maybe they could work at 7-11 or Carrefour, would the court object, since they aren\'t misrepresenting themselves? Master A could offload milk and rotate the yoghurt, etc, and fill in as a cashier to get more hours. The ultimate question is, why were they so determined to be teachers anyway? They could have been lawyers (but then the fake degree problem comes up again), so why not just do whatever it is they did back home? Perhaps take up a trade, join the postal service, drive a bus, cut grass. I mean it\'s all honorable work, heck I even moonlighted at a Pad Thai stand until I got my first teaching gig. And Master A speaks Thai, maybe he could be a proofreader or a translator of literature or science textbooks, write speeches for the junta, anything, what was so compelling about teaching? \n\nMaybe they could hire a good immigration lawyer and apply for political asylum or refugee status, they could prove they were fleeing persecution, strife or a civil war in their own country, I mean the options are limitless.

I enjoy reading the opinions of both the qualified and the not so qualified. I can understand both sides\' arguments. An example: At schools in the big cities where the students have a good command of the 4 English skills and are taught by the same native speaker 3 or 4 times a week, I believe the teacher must be well qualified. But for schools in rural areas where a teacher will visit 25 different classes a week and the students are still trying to get a grip on speaking the days of the week, months of the year, basic fruits and vegetables, cannot count in English above 10 and have nearly no reading and writing skills, perhaps the teacher in this school could be less qualified. Now Thailand wants all teachers to have teaching credentials from their country of origin. This is a bit outrageous. Thailand (a developing nation) is equating their education system with that of the world leaders. \n\nRegarding the article from the Pattaya newspaper, where the police chief says \"most of these foreigners only have a secondary education\", this man fails to understand that in the U.S. students are required to attended school until the 12th grade. Here in Thailand only until the 9th grade. In the U.S. the student must actually pass the exams. Here in Thailand if they don\'t pass they are given an easier exam. In the U.S. students must actually attend class. Here in Thailand as long as they are registered with the school and pay their fees they will receive their diploma. So once again we have an official of the Thai government equating Thailand\'s poor education system to that of the leader of the world.\n\nSo it boils down to this. If I am a foreigner I must have teaching credentials from my country of origin to teach English in Thailand. If I am a Thai, I only have to have paid my fees to the Teachers School and I can teach English. I don\'t even have to be able to speak English, I only have to have the credentials.

We would like for our degrees and effort to mean something; I do not believe this is a bad thing. Some of us have to pay those loans, and of course we drool over the prospect of making more cash for our college investments. We do this while competing with the fraudulent teachers who inevitably drive the salaries down, so please give us \"formally\" educated folks a bit of slack. \n\nNevertheless, despite your words of discouragement, it is possible to make enough money to pay off college loans here in Thailand, and if the MoE puts a system in place that most countries use (college grads do the teaching), teachers with four degrees, TEFL’s, Masters Degrees and/or formal teacher qualifications from a native-English-speaking-country stand to make more money. The Kingdom can afford it, so please don’t do on about the developing country bit. You may have a point about more rural places. There is perhaps a place for non-degree professionals in those high demand areas, so that any school that wishes to obtain ESL teachers can do so. This would need solid regulation or the freaks that you lashed out at in your last letter will just gain access to the kids again. \n\nSome of us believe that a college degree is a crucial experience for educators in general, especially those who work with children.

I will say that you are correct in the sense that if the MoE never requires a 4 year degree to get paid to teach in the Kingdom (volunteer all you want, any and all!!), then folks like me who are just sitting here licking our chops, hoping for greener pastures, and theoretically safer schools; well, we should just shut-up and deal with it or move to another country.

Last week I renewed my one year non-b visa (for the second time). I also renewed my work permit(for the second time). I do not have a teachers license, as it is not required under Thai law.

I am currently teaching and living with my wife in China. Although it has always been my intention to teach in Thailand, I wanted the opportunity to experience life in another part of Asia first. My wife is also Thai so I guess teaching in Thailand was also inevitable. When I first read some months ago about the Thai governments wish to improve the quality of its foreign teachers and therefore the quality of the teaching, it sounded like a fair and logical idea. However, the new legislation outlined in your article appears to have been cobbled together as one, to address some very separate issues.\n\nFor a start, the checks proposed will confirm a teachers experience, qualifications etc. but this in itself will not prevent similar incidents such as the John Karr one unless we are to believe that qualified teachers cannot also be paedophiles. There appears to be no mention of confirming background/ police checks/ or even references. A school can for example receive confirmation that a teacher has taught at a school in their native country but if they do not ask the right questions, like for example if the teacher left or was dismissed, they are not going to get the full picture.\n\nWhilst I can understand the govt. ensuring the level of qualifications for state schools, why must they interfere in the private sector? If a school wishes to advertise that all its teaching staff are degree educated and charge more for that, so be it. Conversely, if a school does not insist on this level and therefore charges students less, let the consumer decide. I can only imagine that many language schools are going to go out of business overnight as teachers unable to provide the necessary documentation are let go. And new teachers are reluctant to teach in Thailand even with the right qualifications after hearing some of the stories of bureaucracy and red tape causing so many unnecessary problems.\n\nI hope that when the dust settles, the govt. can find some middle ground that will protect the students as they should, raise standards as they should, but will also allow genuine teachers with a genuine vocation like myself to teach in their beautiful country.',1,'2007-02-11 21:05:25','','2007-02-11 21:05:25','2008-11-05 11:11:26'),(302,'Thai-tanic','thai-tanic','Monkeyman','I am all for criminal record checks, anything that will keep vermin away from kids.

I have a wonderful girlfriend, someone I cherish and want to spend the rest of my life with. Everything was perfect - until recently. Simply because I have a fake degree. OK, so I don\'t have a BA in flower arranging or a PhD in bed testing. I do posses a HND and could go home and complete a top-up degree, which would be another year and about 7,000 GBP. So how do I afford that on 30,000 baht a month? OK, I borrow the money from my family, go home and study for a year. I\'d be a 40-year-old sitting with a bunch of kids only slightly older than the ones I am currently teaching. Great. And then what? Come back and teach them all about Design. After all, I would then have a degree in it! No, of course not. \n\nSo how does a degree really benefit non-native speaking students? Frankly, it doesn\'t. What DOES benefit the kids, are native-English speakers, who have good command of written and spoken English and, MORE IMPORTANTLY, the desire to teach - passion, warmth... and a sense of humour! The kids love to have fun. Obviously, non of this matters at the MOE. They are looking for Cambridge and Yale graduates who are willing to teach for 50 pence a year. Yeah, that will happen. I\'m sure there are many, many excellent \'teachers\' with Master\'s degrees in lightbulb changing, but there are just as many excellent \'you are no-way teachers\' who don\'t posses these really \'relevant\' bits of paper. I\'m sure, one day, the police will raid my school and I\'ll be hurled into the back of a van and escorted to jail, fined and then off to the airport - along with many others who are excellent teachers with families and a real passion for teaching, but have no degree.\n\nI am all for criminal record checks, anything that will keep vermin away from kids.

This kind of ignores the fact, though, that if you’re a graduate from one of the traditional disciplines (pure science or humanities) or even a graduate from education, then the greater the depth of your reading the less likely you are to be obsessed with wealth, and thus the more likely you are to judge the merits of staying in Thailand on ‘personal happiness/interest value’ criteria. After all, most calls for social justice, and more importantly the theory and research that can back these calls, find their origins in these fields.\n\nPerhaps the observation to be made here, then, is that this type of literature clearly demonstrates the traditional cultural mould that Western thinking occupies? And, of course, why, regardless of whether they’re struggling with the same encumbrances themselves, people from other cultures would be wary of this type of thinking, and why its proponents might subsequently feel disgruntled? While there indubitably are qualified people around who for one iniquitous reason or another are unable to find a job in other places, should we not mention also that there might be a tinge of sourness to these grapes?\n\nWhich is not to mention either, of course, that there must be plenty of well-qualified people teaching in Thailand who are there because they are married to Thai people, and have chosen with their partner to stay with that half of the family; we might imagine they too would feel mightily offended by such suggestions. I mean, for the qualified, it is actually more than possible to make a decent living, and for those who have the right to permanence to enjoy a high quality of life in Thailand (hence all the more reason, if you intend to stay, to become well qualified); to include these people in blanket accusations of rock-spidery and criminal behaviour does seem just that little bit harsh.\n\nAnyway, half of the problem with Western society must be that, despite the wondrousness of having made it available to all, there is still such a stigma attached to the desire to become educated.\n\nPS: The staff with whom I worked in Thailand, in a public university, were the most wonderfully educated and enlightened English language teachers (although were somewhat restrained, of course, in respect to the extent to which they could articulate themselves), and certainly taught me more about how to improve my professional practice than I’ve ever learned elsewhere. \nNor do I, against accusations of sycophancy, ever intend to return; one of the best things about Thailand, though, or what truly set it apart from working in the West, was the opportunity it afforded to be surrounded by such people.',1,'2006-12-06 00:18:59','','2006-12-06 00:18:59','2008-11-05 14:02:00'),(304,'Let\'s unite','lets-unite','JP Rob','Life is easy here and that\'s why people want to stay.

When the job he had been waiting for finally arrived, the one with the big pay and prestige that would allow him to walk the corridors of the elite, he fell flat on his face because when the Director of Studies questioned his abilities, he was tongue-tied and his background let him down (and stubbornness).

Now all the big shakers are draining the availability of education from the countryside and making it more exclusive to Bangkok which enables them to raise the fees through the roof. Let us not argue who is the better teacher ESL or B.A,  but let us focus on competence of the teacher, school and student. No results - no custom. Create a real standard and a truthful standard and build from the bottom at the grassroots level. For all his faults and allegations of corruption, maybe Mr. Thaksin had it right. When they talk of corruption, we know that one evil will only be replaced by another, its just a case of who is less corrupt. If children are to be educated in this manner then that is how they will act accordingly when are released into the world of reality. They will lose plenty of face if they go to an interview in the west with their degree from a University with everyone passes motto.\n',1,'2006-11-24 01:06:19','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb41.jpg','2006-11-24 01:06:19','2008-11-12 16:04:20'),(308,'Good morning Vietnam','good-morning-vietnam','JP Robinson','How the tables have turned. I don\'t know about Thailand but I think it is Vietnam that is an exciting place to be.','How the tables have turned. I don\'t know about Thailand but I think it is Vietnam that is an exciting place to be. With the coup here causing there to be an unstable government to Vietnam where the government is totally stable because of its communist ruling. I should imagine Vietnam joining the WTO will waken the Thais up economically and show they aren\'t the big fish in this pond. If people want to address the real problems here then it is simple. The smiles are gone it is now here comes the falang the walking dollar sign , how much can we get if nothing - don\'t worry another one will be along soon. This is one thing we have to deal with constantly whilst living here. The other is the constant backstabbing from everyone you work with because nobody really knows what they are doing and they are in it for the money. \n\nThen you have the total illogical way of how Thais do everything compared to the falang. You have the drunks, sex fiends and brainless teachers who are here for no other reason than self indulgence which means they are occupying jobs that could be taken by real teachers. You have the pathetically low wages that aren\'t going to tempt you away from your home comforts at home in your home country. But of the biggest problems this place has are the international schools who pass the children no matter what. If this was to stop then it would be a big step forward. When you are encouraged to do this , this means the school is in it for the money, and this is called a scam. If they were to fail students it would also tell you how good your teacher who you have employed really is and is he good enough to be at your school. \n\nHow can you measure progress with the same result? Stop passing failing students and evaluate you teachers by their results. As for the teachers being drunk and sex tourists it not as though you can ask them to stop. Thailand would have to close every bar and massage parlor down to even get close to stopping this problem. The teachers who like a drink , there was a Professor at my University who was constantly on the sauce, this is not just a problem here. It happens everywhere. You cannot simply eradicate this problem. The Thais love a drink more than anyone. Maybe Thailand will look at Vietnam\'s stability and consider the same path. Let\'s hope not. I see a lot of bad teachers who cost the real teachers so much ( those with and without degrees ). It is totally up to the schools to evaluate their teachers and who they hire, it is them who cause the problems because they want the cash. \n\nThose schools who pay the MOE to look the other way hold back the progress of the entire educational system of Thailand and that is why the language schools are full on the weekend because the parents realize their children cannot speak an ounce of English by the time they have left school. Start with the fat cats who own these schools and then install a standard exam that every student must take and mark them genuinely. Fail the students who dont\' pass, they don\'t bother because the teachers can\'t be bothered and then you\'ll know which are the best schools and who are the best teachers. Truth and honesty breeds integrity which I don\'t see much of in the schools or anywhere else.\n',1,'2006-11-23 01:17:31','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb42.gif','2006-11-23 01:17:31','2008-11-12 16:04:32'),(309,'Principles and principals','principles-and-principals','John Smith','Principals are the first to know about who has proper credentials and who doesn\'t. In many cases they rely on fake teachers as snitches (informants) to give them information about the teaching troops. ','Since the concerns of the M.0.E. are focused on teachers nothing has been mentioned about the focus on principals and principles. \n\nTo begin with the first subject, I have read from someone on Post Box that credentialed teachers cause trouble in schools, they are snobs to unqualified teachers, argue, and are ambitious in the pursuit of power. The reality to this statement is the majority of teachers who come to Thailand stay two or three years and are replaced with others who do the same primarily because they want to experience Thailand. A small percentage pursue long term leadership positions. In my experience, when problems in staff rooms occur the roots lay in a divide in worker related harmony. Conflicts develop from teachers without credentials and those that have them. Since impostors always live with the fear of been discovered the great divide emerges in the form of an \"us and them\" situation. To make up for this divide and insecurity, many impostors feel security lays in positions of leadership and power. In many cases the fake teachers become drinking buddies with the principal who in many cases does not have a degree either. \n\nPrincipals are the first to know about who has proper credentials and who doesn\'t. In many cases they rely on fake teachers as snitches (informants) to give them information about the teaching troops. Having already proved themselves as liars these informant teachers ruin the reputations of good teachers by whispering negativity into the ear of the principal and thoroughly establish themselves as Shakespearean \"Iago\" characters. Teachers have good and bad days, we are always learning and growing and this is supported by intelligent leaders (regular staff meetings). Impostors fear losing their jobs when incompetence becomes visible. They react by trying to project their incompetence on others usually reacting first with fear, then intimidation. This often leads to finding something wrong with nothing and pinning it on another who has discovered their secret. When back-stabbing behavior is rewarded with leadership positions it creates the contradiction of the uneducated in power and the educated unrewarded or fired. When this situation develops many problems come with it. The end result is teachers come and go and students suffer for it. A good principal knows how the teaching troops morale is they do not need informants. They have nothing to hide and support their teachers through stressful periods (good and bad).\n\nOn the topic of economic principles relating to teaching wages. Most of the money made goes right back into the Thai economy as teachers travel the country. Having said that, regardless of the size of the salaries most of the money goes into the tourist industry and is contributing to a self-sufficient economy. Money may leave the hands of school owners but it is redistributed from schools to Thai people who own businesses. History shows that cultures have more stability, satisfaction, and harmony with a large distribution of wealth. Poverty gives way to the emergence of middle classes. This usually attracts more foreign investment as security, stability and growth becomes a part of the economy. The overall effect on the country is modernization (the process in which society goes through industrialization, urbanization and other social changes that completely transform the lives of individuals). A strong distribution of wealth means more disposable income which may lead to more risk taking in the form of establishing small businesses and helping family members.\n\nIt seems that the education for profit industry in many cases has failed in providing a proper product for Thai families. Sadly, like many products in Thailand they look good, break after a month and then you throw them away (resembles teacher turn over and the degrees that many get from universities). The owners are happy, what do they care? They have your money. When does it end?\nJohn Smith',1,'2006-11-21 01:30:53','','2006-11-21 01:30:53','2008-11-07 15:03:54'),(310,'My life as a farang teacher','my-life-as-a-farang-teacher','Larry Gellar','I probably should have seen the writing on the wall when I was asked to sign a contract in a foreign language, without a translation. I should have just slowly backed away.','You or your readers might find this little cautionary tale amusing. Despite it all, I still love being a teacher here! Enjoy\n\nI probably should have seen the writing on the wall when I was asked to sign a contract in a foreign language, without a translation. I should have just slowly backed away and then run for the hills, but I was a new Farang teacher and so happy just to have gotten a job! One term later I know that in the future I should always trust my instincts. When I first moved to Thailand I had no intention of becoming an English teacher. I was actually looking forward to an early retirement here in the Land of Smiles. I have always loved Thailand and had visited many times before. My darling wife was Thai, and after spending six happy years living in America we decided to move to the city of L. (and its not Lamphun) We both liked the North, but didn’t want to live in Chiang Mai. For us, L. is perfect; not too big and not too small. We quickly settled in, made many Thai friends, and built a lovely home. In short I was here to stay!\n\nIt wasn’t long that people starting coming out of the woodwork, asking me to teach themselves or their children English. Of course I was happy to do so. I wanted to be a good neighbor and perhaps rack up some good karma. Often I did so at no charge. Of course my wife, like most Thai women, controls the purse strings, and quickly decided that if I was going to be teaching, that I should be paid for it. So why not apply for a teaching position at one of the local high schools. Why not indeed? I have a degree in Education so I might as well put it to use. It wasn’t long before I was joining three other Farang teachers and preparing for my first day of class. Two of them, Ajarn M. from Australia and Ajarn D. from America had started here last year. Ajarn R. from Australia, like me was a newbie. All of them were first rate educators and great people. It was nice to make some Farang friends. I love the Thais, but sometimes you just want to talk to some folks who share your background and interests.\n\nThe Thai members of the English department seemed friendly enough, but from the very beginning were useless as far as giving out any practical information. Was there a syllabus? Were there text books? No, just make it up as you go along. Okay, no problem. I have plenty of ideas and there is no much information on all the ESL web sites. What were the policies and procedures that needed to be followed? No answer, even from the department head. Okay….just use my best judgement and common sense. Can I have a copy of the academic calendar? To date I still don’t have one! The only way I know if there’s an upcoming day off is when I say to a class, “See you next week”, and the students tell me that there is no class that day. Ajarn M. and Ajarn D. have been as much in the dark as myself. They told me never to hold my breath waiting for any information what so ever, because it would never arrive. They of course have been 100% correct.\n\nWork permits? Five months have gone by and we still don’t have one! There is always one excuse or another, but the end result is always no work permits. Ajarn M. and Ajarn R. have wound up in plenty of hot water because of the school’s inability, (or unwillingness) to fulfill their legal obligations. Ajarn R. had to fly to Lao last month and spent quite a lot of money out of his pocket. Since the teacher’s visas are tied to the contracts and work permits, not having the required paperwork is completely unacceptable. But try telling that to the school officials. All you’ll hear is that we are a bunch of ingrates. That they have done everything for us and that all we do is complain! Luckily, I’m married to a Thai national, so I simply went and got my own Visa. But if I had waited for the school, I would be in violation now and would have incurred an astronomical fine!\n\nTo say that there is a lack of communication here would be an understatement. We have been in full mushroom mode since day one. Perhaps it is because when you come down to it, the Thai teachers resent the presence of Farang teachers at their school. We get paid more than they do, we have more freedom than they do, and of course we know more about teaching English than they do! This brings us to the actual job of teaching. This is where most of my real headaches begin. I’ve been teaching 18 classes, one period per week. Most of they are Matiyam 4, with a few Matiyam 3 classes. The average class size is close to 50. I of course knew that because of cultural differences that there would need to be some adjustment as how to communicate. My Thai is extremely limited. When I want a good giggle out of the class all I need to do is speak some! \n\nWhat I encountered on my very first day was enough to drive one to tears…or to drink! With all the Wais Thai’s perform everyday, one might think that the typical student would be more polite and respectful than his or her American counterpart….well you would be wrong! My first classes were complete and utter madhouses! The students would not even lower their voices to listen to me. I was reduced to practically shouting to be heard. I thought, well maybe they are just giving the new teacher a little initiation. Next time it will be better. Wishful thinking on my part. When I commented to the department head on my problems, I was told that I don’t understand Thai culture. Why would I expect the students to be quiet? And after all, they probably just didn’t understand me, and were discussing among themselves what I was saying! So begins the real trip down the rabbit hole.\n\nAmong the other things I “learned” from my Thai supervisor during the following months were: The reason they are doing other teacher’s homework in your class is that that is more important than what you are trying to teach them. The same is true as to why they are not doing the homework you give them…and why are you giving them homework anyway. You were brought here to teach conversation. (maybe because the amount of English vocabulary they understand is pathetic?)\n\nI should say that in the end most of my students were fine. After a period of adjustment most of them learned to appreciate my style of teaching. Out of over 700 + students, 70% wound up getting a good or excellent first term grade from me. (of course I was a VERY generous grader.) But the other 30% were simply taking up space, if they bothered to show up at all. When they did, the girls spent more time putting on make-up and doing each other’s hair than listening to me. Or they were playing with their cell phones, reading Anime books, or just plain old gossiping. The boys spent most of their time simply being surly. Any and every attempt I made to discipline them was met by a stern rebuff from the English department. Of course as a faring I knew I could not use corporal punishment, so I tried all kinds of other techniques. I had them stand in the corner of the classroom, until I ran out of corners. I tried marching them up to the English department, hoping that they would at least receive a lecture on respect. Of course they didn’t even hear one sternly spoke word, and once out in the corridor simply laughed at me in a mocking way. I had them write 1000 times: “I must be quiet in Ajarn Larry’s class”, or “I must do the homework for Ajarn Larry’s class”. Needless to say that I was told from the powers to be to stop this “cruel” punishment. I tried simply throwing them out of the classroom so that I could teach those students who wanted to learn. Not allowed. I have lectured that there are no naughty students, that I am simply not “motivating” them! Sometimes I feel that I’ve been sentenced to some kind of Orwellian alternate reality, where Ignorance is Bliss. We Farang teachers often joke about this school as being the Ministry of Love.\n\nFast forward to the time for giving out grades. We were given a flash-drive with a grading program completely in Thai. No one, despite many requests would show us how to use it! Ask Ajarn M. I was told, he was here last year. I’m too busy. Unfortunately Ajarn M. had only the vaguest clue how to use it! Somehow all of us stumbled through the process without having a clue of whether what we were doing was correct! When I handed in my results, I was in for another nasty surprise. Apparently this school has top ranking in the area, and so NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO FAIL. That includes the 90 students who I gave a score of zero. These are the sweet boys and girls who: came to class only if they felt like it, and then came 15-20 minutes late; would not pay the least amount of attention; disrupted the class continually, and finally did not hand in even ONE piece of homework for 5 months! I was told to change these 90 grades, not only from zeros, but to passing grades!\n\nOh, I see. This is how the school has such a high ranking! It gets even worse than this. Ajarn R. teaches Matiyam 6. When he gave his classes a test for written English, 75% failed. The Thai solution? Post the test in the hallway, so that the students can learn the correct answers, and then retest them! Not surprisingly, every student received a perfect score! Guess which test results were recorded? I have steadfastly refused to change ANY of my grades. If the administration wishes to do so, they can go ahead and do so, but I won’t be part of that little scheme! \n\nWhat I wound up doing is going over EVERYONE’S head here. Luckily I am friends with the former director of the school. Last year I tutored her two grand daughters, and she likes my wife and I. Three of us teachers visited her home and poured out to her all that I’ve talked about here. Now this woman is a formidable lady and extremely well respected in the community. When she talks, people listen! She immediately set up a meeting with the English department to discuss all our concerns. Immediately the atmosphere got extremely frosty around here. The meeting turned out about the way I expected. The Thai teachers kept going on and on about how we simply didn’t understand Thai culture, yada, yada yada. There was a lot of shouting. Luckily the former director is still on our side. She conferred with the present director, and promises were given about improvements for the future. And my 90 failures? Their parents will be contacted. They and their children will have to attend a special meeting, and the students will have a few intensive days to make up at least some of the work. I was willing to accept that compromise…..if it truly happens!\n\nAnd the future? Hopefully I can make it through the end of my contract with no major incidents. After that I’ll just have to wait and see. There are plenty of other schools in the area if things don’t improve. Despite all of my problems, I can I honestly say that I enjoy teaching in Thailand. The good students make it all worthwhile. I have a dozen girls who come over to our home each weekend to learn cooking from me. (I have a degree in Culinary Arts) You’d be amazed how much English you can absorb by learning to make pizza, cookies, ice cream etc.!\n\nAnd the best news? Last week my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! Hopefully he will be able to integrate the best of two cultures into his life.\n',1,'2006-10-21 01:34:19','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb44.jpg','2006-10-21 01:34:19','2008-11-07 15:03:20'),(311,'Who can truly teach?','who-can-truly-teach','RM','Education and ESL are two different things.

What does a degree in Astro Physics have to with teaching a foreign language to a 9 year old for example? I would say this connection is minimal. Ask how many of these \"graduates\" know what a predicate adverb is and they\'ll fall flat on their faces. Ask someone with a degree in Sports science\" what your Gluteas Maximus is and I\'m sure they\'ll tell you its the arse muscle - what these self proclaimed educators use to talk with. \n\nCELTA is the number one qualification for teaching ESL - so say the University of Cambridge, whom I\'m sure people will agree is a recognized University by anyone\'s standards. The University of Cambridge, I think knows better. The reason these people keep writing in and saying that being as highly educated as them is needed to be a teacher are only saying it because they know if there is a lack of teachers in this country - and that will force the schools to pay more money. This meaning they are only motivated by their own self-gain and greed and really do not give a monkeys about teaching English at all as long as they get more money. If I want to study Chemistry then I would need a Professor with all the right qualifications in that field. If the Professor was qualified in accountancy then he would not be much use to me. I have an education and I am not a great teacher. I have worked with teachers who only have a CELTA or TEFL and they run rings around me. What is the point in having Celta schools advertising \"do your Celta in Thailand\" if you can\'t work here. \n\nAs we all know, most people who have degrees do not decide to make their fame and fortune by becoming a teacher in Thailand. Lets be fair most salaries are a joke compared to what they could get in their fields at home. People end up teaching because they discover what a great job it is and to be able to work in amazing Thailand is a great opportunity to stay. When you come to Thailand as a backpacker, you do not decide to do a Celta course and earn enough money to continue traveling because Celta courses aren\'t cheap. They could obviously use this money to continue travelling. As for the Canadians who were sent home because they only had a TEFL then I really do feel sorry for them and I\'m sure some of them would have made great teachers. It wasn\'t their fault that they didn\'t meet the legal visa requirements, It wasn\'t their inability as an ESL teacher that caused them to be sent home. it was in fact, quite simply the rules of the needed visa requirements which were that you needed a degree.\n\n Maybe, they were people who lacked opportunity in their own country and went abroad to teach in a wonderful profession to see if they could make a life and career for themselves like the millions of immigrants who poor into Great Britain and United States etc to seek careers and a better education, legal and illegal. Are there that many degree holders who want to leave their field and come work for a quarter or less of what they could earn at home who want to work as ESL teachers in Thailand. I think not. If it is the future of children\'s ability to make a career for themselves through the learning of the English language that you care about, then I\'m sure you\' agree with the statement CELTA is No.1. Astro physics degree holders please apply to Nasa, the wages are much higher if you are competent enough and remember, no one likes a smart arse. I think if Mr. Meade and his followers actually stop and listen to something apart from the sound of their own voice that continually keeps reminding them of their greatness then they would realize that the Thais are the educators and we supplement their system by teaching ESL. As long as we act accordingly and do not abuse our own education for wrong doings then I\'m sure children will will act accordingly to.

Perhaps the city of Angels hides more deeply sinister figures than we had hitherto imagined.\n\nIn the UK for example, every single person involved with children or other vulnerable groups must provide a recent police disclosure of criminal records (either full or partial based on the kind of position applied for). Proper background checking involves contacting academic registrars at universities and records officers at training providers, it also involves contacting superiors or former employers (not colleagues or acquaintances as most EFL teachers here seem to think). \n\nSadly so few employers in the EFL business in Thailand actually take the time to check qualifications and backgrounds, that I am often insulted and accused of being some kind of verification nazi or beaurocratic fool for attempting to get some basic background information from candidates, beyond the fact that they may be white, which many teachers assume is qualification enough, it seems.\n\nYou will say “Caveat emptor” or the equivalent – ie employers should check, or it’s their own fault if a teacher turns out to be a potentially dangerous liar or phoney. But I hope that you can understand that contacting academic registrars and referees takes time – weeks or months usually – and often those employers who do check are forced to either recruit only from abroad (with a significantly lower number of fraudulent applications in general) and / or to install a ‘probationary period’ of 3 months or so in order to buy time to complete the verification process. \n\nWhile it is admirable for a website like ajarn to champion the rights of foreign teachers in Thailand, I also feel there is a hand in hand obligation to acknowledge and understand the high proportion of ‘dodgy’ native English speaking EFL teachers out there at the moment. The EFL community in Thailand needs to take a long hard look at itself and examine the sometimes exploitative, commonly cynical and occasionally openly hostile and racist attiudes that prevail in some parts of the community. There also seems to me to be a kind of middle-aged, boys dinking club mentality common to many staffrooms.\n\nThe all pervading conspiracy of silence when it comes to the behaviour of western EFL teachers in general can be seen in far too many places. “It’s them against us.” But who is for the students, then? It is more likely that a person will be ostracized for speaking up against errant behaviour, than the person who is spoken out against, although I understand this is common to Thai culture as well. \n\nIn Thailand I have had to turn away literally hundreds of western teachers for want a a single reference from a former employer, let alone anything else. I would also conservativelty estimate that amongst the applications I receive from native English speaking teachers (and I recruit for positions which are generally above average as you can see from my postings) and of those I attempt to check, at least 30% or even more are fraudulent in some way. 30%+!!!!! Is there any other field or place in the world where this would happen? That is an epidemic! (I know: TIT.) \n\nI know your solution: offer higher salaries and attract better teachers, but there are several of the usual objections.\n1) Increasing higher salaries does nothing to discourage ‘dodgy’ teachers – in fact it only emboldens and attracts them to become more and more brazen as they think of their lifestyle here with considerably more cash in their pockets.\n2) If average salaries went up, all the flotsam and jetsam and free loaders of the world would be in Bangkok overnight (that’s not to say they’re not here now, either!) as well as the good teachers who are just as likely to come for an average salary, knowing the enormous cost of living differences which make average salaries here quite livable and who comes to Thailand for the money, anyway?.\n3) Salaries can increase when the average middle class Thai family (who our schools mostly serve) can afford to pay more for tuition without being forced to withdraw their child from school. All those Mercedes and other signs of conspicuous consumption were not bought for cash, I hope everyone understands, and Thais generally spend more on their cars than on their houses! Take a look at the average Thai wage and tell me if EFL teachers get positive discrimination here or not!\n\nAnyway, I think the foreign teaching community should stand together to put its collective house in order. Is it permissible to tolerate and condone behaviour which we would find completely unacceptable in our own countries in the foreign teachers staffrooms here, simply because it is a different country and the misogynists, sex-residents and alcoholics are here in significant numbers? I don’t believe something stops being wrong simply because lots of people do it.\n\nI bet that if we ourselves started speaking up, we would find that actually the bad teachers are a minority and only get away with things because they are never confronted by anyone. Thai culture prohibits Thai staff from doing this, so perhaps it is time we took the matter into our own hands.\n\nI’m sure there are other alleged paedophile murderers and other seriously unsuitable people still lurking or hiding as teachers in Bangkok and Thailand. I know for a fact that something like 30% of applicants based in Thailand who apply to me for a job are liars alone. I have no means of knowing what else they may be. That to me, as a hopefully rational, reasonable person with normal standards of decency absolutely shocking and an utter disgrace for a so called ‘profession\'.\n\nI’m not advocating a witch hunt, but I would suggest that something could be done to raise the profile of the problem of “dodgy’ teachers to the level when all western teachers would be actively thinking about what they can do to help. Thais may never feel able to do this openly, so perhaps we should import some of our western values into largely western staffrooms rather than turning a blind eye because we are in a foreign country and Thai culture prohibits it.\n\nAnyway, I think the recent news story might be a good chance to post some articles encourage to employers to check teachers’ backgrounds much more carefully than at present and for western teachers in general to try to clean their house up a bit and to stop condoning unacceptable behaviour from colleagues simply because they are in a foreign country.',1,'2006-08-25 01:52:14','','2006-08-25 01:52:14','2008-11-07 15:03:15'),(313,'Show me the money','show-me-the-money','Nick','Recently, I just sat down and calculated what I could make if I went back to teaching full-time and continued corporate teaching part-time at the same time.

With all the talk about teachers not getting paid enough, schools taking unknown taxes out teacher’s pay, or even school scamming to not pay a teacher’s his or her end of the year bonus. I’ve never come across an article on a positive note regarding the money or Baht a teacher can make with the right drive and personality here in Thailand. So, I decided to write this email to you and who ever wishes to read it.\n\nI recall hearing about a teacher some years back, 3 years to be more specific, who was making over a 100,000 baht a month teaching, and as I said…this was three years ago. And get this; I heard that this guy was an African American. Now, I have nothing against African Americans. I’m a firm believer in equality for everyone, heck, I’m from California and you know we are a rainbow of cultures out there which is great, but with all the age, color and nationality limitations I read about on Ajarn.com, if this guy is real, and I believe he is, and can make that kind of baht. Why do I get the impression, and I think most people would if they started reading your articles or just talk to teachers in general, that working in Thailand as a teacher is primarily for backpackers and ex-pats who are just trying to stay or live here - which is my main point. \n\nOf course there are a few that get into management or administration that make a little bit more. But, as I said, if this guy can make this kind of baht…then teaching in Thailand can be a very lucrative opportunity. Lets see, now a 100,000 baht is about 2,500 USD and that’s a pretty good living here in Thailand. If you paid…lets say 5 – 8,000 for a room, 3 – 5,000 baht for food, 3 – 5,000 for misc., and 5 – 10,000 for entertainment, that would be between 16 – 28,000 baht a month. You could then save almost 75,000 baht a month. Now that’s enough to save for retirement even in the states. Ok, let’s add that good old Thai Insurance plan that you mentioned awhile back at 500 baht a month. You would still be in the ballpark. So now all we have to do is find this guy and ask him what is his secret…right? Not at all, I watched Jerry McGuire on HBO last month and I love that phase “Show me the Money. So, here it is or were/how I think a teacher can get it. \n\nWell, I live here in Thailand going on 5 years and when I first came to Thailand, the average starting monthly salary was between 20 and 25, 000 baht. In my first job, I started out at 30,000 baht a month, and at a Thai Government school. I found that many people found this amount at that time to even be some what unbelievable. In fact, a friend of mind in Pattaya, and he was quit insulting at the time, thought I had to be doing something sexual with somebody to be get this amount. I didn’t tell him at the time, but I was actually making a bit more by doing a few extra classes on the weekends. My average take home baht was around 40 – 45,000 a month and I was only working 24 hours a week.\n\nSince that first job, I have entered the business IT environment/corporate world here in Thailand. I make a lot more in comparison, but I’ve continual to teach part-time because I love it. It’s still relaxing and enjoyable to me. I teach corporate classes now in the evenings and some classes on the weekend, but I’m still making more than many of the full time jobs I see posted on your website. First let me say that I’m not trying to make myself out to be some kind of superstar teacher, because I think I’m quit average and I’ve met plenty of outstanding teachers in Thailand that I consider much better than myself. \n\nThe point I’m trying to make is that teaching here in Thailand in a great living. I could go back to the USA and make over a 100,000 USD (4,000,000 baht) a year in IT, but Uncle Sam (taxes) would take 38%, it would cost me another 40% if I wanted to own a home ( 28% if I only rented) and to eat and drive around would eat up the rest. If I want to save as much as I could here in Thailand making a 100,000 baht, I would have to make at lease 20 – 25,000 USD more a year. Hey…maybe my numbers are wrong…no, they’re not, unless you are spending a lot more on entertainment…if you know what I mean. \n\nRecently, I just sat down and calculated what I could make if I went back to teaching full-time and continued corporate teaching part-time at the same time. I realized I could get pretty close to the salary of that guy I heard about three years ago. The English industry here in Thailand is on the move, and the direction is up. I just heard from teacher friend of mine this week that the Thai government is on the move again to increase English competency in Thais and I’ve noticed myself that corporate teaching has increased 30% to 40% over the last three years. \n\nThree years ago, I had to struggle to find a part-time corporate teaching jobs on Ajarn.com. So, why do I get the impression that the teaching industry here is a some what an ok career to have when it’s actually it\'s great and better than some jobs many of us could get in our own countries? Maybe, I’m just nutty and blowing the whistle on something we, us ex-pats, are trying to keep a secret. If I am...ok, I’ll keep it to myself, but can we stop complaining so much about the money. Because teaching here in Thailand…can “Show you the Money”, if you really work at it with the right attitude and love it.\n\nIn conclusion, I’ve had people ask me how much do I make, how much rent do I pay, or how much does this or that cost . But, I have to say that, although I’ll always try to help out new comers to Thailand or my friends. I’ve had to come to the conclusion that the answer to these questions varies from person to person. What I mean is that if you walk into an apartment building or job wearing saddles, a T-shirt, and holes in your jean when I walk in wearing nice pants, clean shirt, and closed toe shoes, when we start negotiating a price for rent or pay, and it is negotiable, we may get different amounts. I’ve stayed at a places where there were people paying different amounts for the same room. \n\nSome of you may say this is unfair, but I believe that this is because Thailand is a culture that is based on relationship not fairness. If you don’t know this by now, then keep living here, reading Ajarn.com or the newspapers. You will soon wake up. The first impression has a higher impact then other places/countries. In your own country you may have laws to protect you from this type of unfairness, but not here. Just read the paper and see all the advertisements specifically requesting a male or female age 22, or less than 45. Another important area is attitude. I have met countless people who think that Thailand should change…and I’m one of them too, but I must first remind myself that Thailand was here before I came and will be here if I choose to leave. So, I try not to focus so much on what needs to be change, but rather focus on my job and teaching English the best I can to my students. I came here to live and enjoy life, not to change a country. I’m not that important nor do I have that much clout. But, what I can change is my style, to be respectful, my method, to be more successful at teaching, and my attitude, so I can enjoy living here. I can always go back to the USA and complain about my president.\n\nBelieve me; he’s given me enough to complain about for a lifetime. Ok, I think I will stop here, but one last thing. I’m sure we all will agree that Thailand is great place to live. If not, we can always go home. But let’s realize that for native English speakers/teachers. We have it pretty well here. So, let’s make sure that we can see the forest through the trees. Then Thailand can “Show you the Money”. I’m not rich by any means, but I’m not living at the poor house either.',1,'2006-08-06 02:00:53','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb46.jpg','2006-08-06 02:00:53','2008-11-12 16:04:54'),(746,'Information on the Laos visa run','information-on-the-laos-visa-run','Name withheld','Overall it appears that the Thai embassy is trying to become a bit more farang-friendly They actually have a separate bathroom for men and women and they\'ve even put a new Canon photo copier right near the windows where you submit your application.

I myself take medication to treat the chronic depression I have lived with for as long as I can remember, and I wondered how the subject would be treated in Thailand. The first thing I discovered was that Thais don\'t seem to have a concept of depression. Try explaining constant overwhelming despair to someone who barely speaks any English, and you\'ll soon find how difficult it is. I would imagine that living with bipolar disorder would be even more difficult in Thailand. Many psychotropic medications are used in Thailand for people \"with difficulty sleeping\". Whether or not this is a euphemism used to save face is up for debate.\n\nFinding your meds is another struggle. Unless you live in Bangkok or Chiang Mai, expect to have to order your drugs from Bangkok. When I first moved to Nakhon Si Thammarat, I went to every pharmacy I could find only to be told that they didn\'t have the drugs I needed and that they had never even heard of them. I eventually found a pharmacist who ordered my drugs for me. If you take medication for mental illness, make sure you come to Thailand with a nice big supply, because finding a source in Thailand can be a lengthy process. Don\'t wait until the last minute, lest you discover that the pharmacy needs to order the drug and it will take 1-2 weeks. Running out of a prescription you need in a foreign country is an unpleasant experience, to say the very least. In short, if you\'re planning on moving somewhere off the beaten path, finding a pharmacist that can help you should be one of the first things you do.\n',1,'2009-02-18 11:30:43','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb47.gif','2009-02-18 11:30:43','2009-10-26 02:02:44'),(748,'Foreign A-holes','foreign-a-holes','Mr Jeem','After five full years of employment in Asia, I have ONE good friend who is a foreigner. He is from England, which doesn’t really mean anything, since I’ve met twenty-fold Brits who were flaming arseholes.','Hello to all. I am from the U.S. and have been living and teaching in Asia for the past five years, four of those in Thailand. I absolutely love teaching Asian students, and my goal is to try and set an example with them, helping them to learn to think for themselves and enjoy the learning process as they grow.\n\nWhile living in the U.S., I had a series of high stress jobs spanning over several years. My last job in the U.S. was a state job. I worked for the local corrections department at a medium security facility in our state and believe me; I definitely looked forward to my vacation time. All my vacations were spent in Asia. I traveled to the Philippines, China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Japan mostly. For me anyway, Asia just seemed to get under my skin and I looked forward to each vacation period in which to return. It wasn’t until my last trip to Beijing in 2002 that I learned about ESL teaching when a young Chinese woman approached me while I was sitting on a park bench near my hotel reading the China Daily newspaper, and asked me if I spoke English.\n\n“Yes, I do,” I replied.\n“May I sit with you and practice my English?” she asked.\n“Of course!”\n\nIt turned out she was worried about losing her ability to speak English since she had just returned from Ankara, Turkey where her husband was working for a large corporation. She told me that in the circles she frequented while living in Turkey, everyone spoke English and now that she had returned to Beijing, she was finding it troublesome to find anyone with which to practice her English so she had joined a night course, but said she found it too basic. Her English was exceptional, and our conversation was delightful, going on for almost two hours. Before she had to leave, she asked me, “Do you like Beijing?”\n\n“I love it!” a very truthful statement at the time.\n\n“Then you should come here to live and teach,” she commented. I laughed and told her I was the farthest thing from a schoolteacher, but she persisted, telling me of numerous openings at local universities, primary and secondary schools and private schools.\n\nThen suddenly she looked at her watch, turned to me and asked, “Do you have time for me to show you something?”\n“Sure,” I said, and then she got up and motioned for me to follow her.\n\nHer nickname was Jo, and as we were walking Jo told me that almost every university in Beijing had an English department and were always hiring foreign professionals to teach different subjects in English.\n“But, I’m not a teacher!” I emphatically told her. “I am a parole officer, a person who looks after criminals! I teach, but surely not what your people are interested in learning!”\n\nJo shook her head and waved me off, leading me to whatever she had in store for me, which turned out to be a nearby university. We entered the university and I was quite impressed with the cleanliness of the place and the beautiful architecture. Once inside she led me to a huge billboard full of announcements and other articles, quite naturally most in Mandarin, but with a small section in the right upper corner devoted to want ads for foreign teachers in English.\n\nThe requirements were fairly simple and straightforward. You had to be from a country such as the U.S., Canada, England, Australia, etc., and you had to have at least a bachelor’s degree in any field. TELF, CELTA, TESOL certificates were not necessary, but surely were a plus, and you did not have to have any prior teaching experience. The university provided you (free) with an apartment, free water and gas, air conditioning, a portable heater for the winter months, a T.V., CD/DVD player, cable T.V., a microwave, refrigerator, water boiler, washing machine, rice cooker, bed and bed clothing, wardrobe, iron and ironing board, living room furniture, desk, bureau, telephone (except for long-distance calls), and a LAN connection to the university computer network. But, you had to pay your own electricity bill…Awwwww!\n\nAfterwards, Jo led me up several stairs and down two different corridors to meet somebody she knew. Luckily for us, he was in his office. We knocked and an American emerged, much to my surprise. Mr.\nDan, as he was introduced, was a very pleasant gentleman from the state of Virginia. We exchanged pleasantries and after a brief conversation, he got down to business and told me he left his “dead-end” job as a realtor in Portsmouth, to come teach in China. He told me he had “absolutely no experience” as a teacher of any kind, but had taken a TEFL course near his home, and sold everything to come and live and work in China.\n\nMr. Dan had lived and worked in China for ten years. At the time I met him, he was the head of the English department at the university, had a Chinese wife, a 2-year old son, and another child on the way. Before we left, Mr. Dan offered me this surprising, yet tiny little tidbit of advise should I decide to come to Asia to teach:\n\n“Stay as far away from other foreigners as you can. They are like a plague. They’ll gossip about you, steal (ideas, teaching materials, money, plane tickets, train tickets, clothing, lesson plans, etc.) from you if they can, stab you in the back, blackmail you, lie on their mother’s grave, and generally make your life miserable, whereas Asian’s will usually treat you right.”\n\nI left our little meeting with Mr. Dan feeling very odd that he would say something so blatant and terrible about other westerners.\nSix years later, all I have to say is this: “MR. DAN WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!!!”\n\nAfter five full years of employment in Asia, I have ONE good friend who is a foreigner. He is from England, which doesn’t really mean anything, since I’ve met twenty-fold Brits who were flaming arseholes, but I can honestly say I choose my friends very carefully, and the majority I meet, I could diagnose with some form of DSM-V diagnosis or severe personality disorder.\n\nEnough said',1,'2009-02-27 11:51:06','','2009-02-27 11:51:06','2009-10-26 02:02:07'),(749,'Be careful with that resignation letter','be-careful-with-that-resignation-letter','','I realize that there is an appropriate time for a resignation letter.

My guess is that on a good day about half would raise their hands (most likely out of an affectation or because they flat-out misheard the question). The other half, the ones who didn’t raise their hands, would be English teachers.\n\nI know teachers are busy in ways that other professionals and trades people are not. If you care about teaching, and most teachers do, the first thing you think about when you wake up is teaching for the coming day. Simply put, we are too busy to do anything else but teach. Yet, there’s something bogus about teaching language or literature 20 periods a week and never connecting with your subject matter out of the classroom.\n\nThere are, of course, reasons for this. If we teach ESL, we force the language down to its simplest building blocks. When we do this, however, density of thought is also stripped away, and we encourage students not to think but to do. And after years of teaching this transactional English inside the classroom, we become what we teach outside of the classroom.\n\nAs a result when teachers do write they consciously marshal facts and data to argue an issue. There is a foe or object in front of them they want to destroy or move to their side. There may be some craft in these efforts, but rarely is there any art or ambiguity. The writing is transactional and purposeful, but it is little more than moving pieces around on a game board. No shred of the writer and his cast of mind can be found. The best measure of this (often) claptrap prose is how odd we find poetry and poets. Poets either produce dreck or live on the edge of some deviancy. Teachers are more likely to experiment with body piercing than to experiment with poetry.\n\nTeachers learn early on to be circumspect in their everyday lives. Politicians, police, truck divers and housewives can do or say things outside of the classroom that would get us fired if we did the same and it got back to the administration or a parent. And as it is usually a coworker that passes this information on under the pretext of protecting the school, we become timid in the classroom, too. We are trained to avoid risk. Trust no one is our mantra. Over time we no longer even trust ourselves, and without confidence in ourselves, we have nothing to say as writers. The curriculum we teach runs on tracks year to year, and we lose all zest for our subject matter. If someone asks what subject we teach, we say, “Children, I teach children.”\n\nSince Sputnik, the urgency for scientific methodology has squeezed out the abstract and installed the concrete. We believe that selecting multiple choice correct answers among distractors that are only a whisker away in meaning is evidence of intelligence. We teach the myopic and eschew the universal. \n\nArt on the other hand searches for the universal in a grain of sand. It is the dark matter that holds education from flying apart, but because it is not a group-paced activity it has no place in the curriculum. A writer once said, “the essence of all art is the frame,” and our educational system has lost its frame.\n\nI know that teachers can write. Why they don’t is more an indictment of the educational system than professional ineptitude. \n\nYears ago, I taught the argumentative essay to freshman college students. This was a pass/fail course which required writing a five-paragraph essay at the end of the course within an hour-and-a-half time frame. I decided to try and take the test myself, something I doubt few other teachers ever did. Of course I was using a computer, and there really wasn’t any pressure on me. When I looked up, I was fifteen minutes past the finish time. I wrote a great essay, but I would have failed the subject I was teaching.

Unfortunately, as the contract expires every year, I was not entitled to severance pay as my employment wasn\'t terminated. I, like most teachers, do not have a rolling contract. I went to the department of labour in Lamphun who told me that because the school didn\'t actually terminate my employment during contract I did not qualify. This is why schools don\'t give two year or rolling contracts. In addition, the schools can also increase the hours that you work each year without increasing your salary. Why does the expression \"white slave trade\" come to mind? \n\nSo, if you sign a new contract for a second year with an increase in hours and then you do the absolute minimum of work possible to compensate, they school won\'t sack you because they would rather keep you as a loafer than pay you for not being there. The moral of the story is: if you are in a job/school that you don\'t like and find it impossible to leave/get another job at the end of the contract, then sign for another year and do as little as you like. Either way, you\'ll get paid for doing nothing.\n',1,'2009-03-18 11:48:22','','2009-03-18 11:48:22','2009-10-26 03:03:23'),(752,'B2K','b2k','Mike Thompson','As an Asian American who has been back to visit Thailand several times, I’ve noticed many changes over the years.','As an Asian American who has been back to visit Thailand several times, I’ve noticed many changes over the years. Like any big city there is always construction and building work going on. What I definitely like is the Bangkok Mass Transit System (or BTS). I think that part made it so much easier to travel around particularly in the Siam area. However, there are also some negative things: the growing traffic and the recent political unrest to name a few. With the recent recession and bad economic news from around the world, let’s think about a positive change for Bangkok. I think it would be nice to do a B2K. What’s that? I’m suggesting that Bangkok changes its name to Krungthep. This will have many benefits. Thais already call their capital Krungthep. Bangkok is an old name. It’s like calling Thailand, Siam. People understand it, but it sounds more updated saying Krupthep rather than Bangkok. Krungthep sounds much better than Bangkok. In Thai, Krungthep means the city of angels, where as Bangkok translates roughly to fruit grove. \n\nBangkok also has negative connotations associated with it. In English, unfortunately it can be easily connected to sex, especially if the second syllable is stressed. The name change should help the city move away from the emphasis on what many male tourists come for, and make the city sound more family-oriented. The cost will be many million baths to make the change, but I believe it will be worth it. Also, it has been done before. China changed its capital name from Peking to Beijing. India changed its capital name from Bombay to Mumbai. I’m curious to hear the thoughts of my fellow teachers on this subject. I think it’s a good thing if we make this change.

This was the cause of the sub prime crisis. \n\nThis Glass Stegall Act was passed during the Great Depression for a good reason and under Clinton it was removed. George W Bush certainly did his part to exacerbate economic problems by signing into law 8 trillion in medicare entitlements and fighting a nonsensical war in Iraq. Barak Obama is continuing and expanding on Bush\'s \"monetizing of the problems\" (creation of new money) by printing up trillions of dollars in a doomed effort to stimulate the economy. Europe has followed a similar path as America and is also responsible but the US is the big player. When the dollar fails, as countries around the world realize that it is becoming worthless, the US will be unable to sell its debt and the US will experience hyperinflation radically affecting economies worldwide.

In his career he has correctly predicted Black Monday(the stock market crash of 87), the fall of the Soviet Union, The Asian Financial Crisis of 97, and the Subprime crisis last year. Celente has predicted total economic collapse of the American economy by the end of this year.\n\nPETER SCHIFF AND MARC FABER-both well noted economic trend forecasters with proven track records who although do not go quite as far as Celente in their predictions both are calling for a severe long-term economic downturn.\n\nWARREN BUFFET-\"the economy has approached close to the worst case scenario \npossible\"\n\nBARAK OBAMA-When selling his economic recovery package has warned of economic catastrophe if nothing was done.

My bet is many, not all, will find themselves if they are still teaching in Thailand working for a Thai teachers wage at a public school. I doubt too many private institutions will remain. The school will give you room and board and and the equivalent of a few thousand baht a month. I currently work at a language school and am the only full time employee. I a working with the owner to devise a curriculum where one teacher can teach 3 classes simultaneously using the help of Thai assistants. The good jobs will be more competitive as more people will be willing to relocate to far away Thailand in search of a better life. Having been a teacher in America that is why I came here years ago, I suspect many more will be willing to do the same in the future.',1,'2009-05-08 12:02:50','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb50.gif','2009-05-08 12:02:50','2009-10-26 04:04:51'),(755,'African Americans in Thailand','african-americans-in-thailand','Rae','I just want to say that prejudice is everywhere and some whites who traveled before me had definitely tried to pollute the waters and some, I know for certain, actively campaigned against hiring African American teachers.','I am an African American woman.

I find it hard to believe that a so-called prestigious university operates without following basic Thai labor laws or MOE standards.','I was recruited in Bangkok to teach at a well-known university in Phuket. Unfortunately, I failed to ask myself an important question. That being, \"Why would a university in Phuket come to Bangkok to recruit when Phuket has so many teachers?\" The answer, of course, is because no one in Phuket wants to work for them. Failing to realize this proved to be a very costly mistake. My meeting with the school representative involved promises of two incentives. The first was being able to live in an apartment on campus and the second was a guarantee of overtime (work after 15 hours) to make up for the below average salary of 35,000 baht. In Phuket you need at least 40,000 baht to live in the corruption. The school\'s representative also boasted that many corporate hotel contracts become available so teachers may earn extra money (you find out that it\'s for pathetic wages).\n\nMy investment to move to Phuket involved losing an apartment deposit in Bangkok (7000baht), paying for a non-B visa run to Penang Malaysia (3000 baht) and then losing another apartment deposit to leave Phuket (7000 baht). Then I had to pay another apartment deposit to relocate to Bangkok (7000 baht). Grand total 24,000 baht and it gets worse.\n\nWhen I arrived at the university, I was told no apartments were available and I had to live off campus at an inflated price. Then during our first teachers meeting the Thai manager of the department (hospitality and tourism) didn\'t want to pay overtime wages and tried to say that it was the recruiters mistake to offer this (apparently the recruiter was fired and not paid and they didn\'t tell him he was fired). After three months of working overtime I had not received anything (a loss of 18,000 baht). New grand total of losses: 42,000 baht.It gets worse.\n\nIt didn\'t take long for teachers to get upset as three months had passed and nobody had a contract. Moreover, it began to surface through office tension that this university in Phuket knowingly and willingly hired teachers without documents. This resulted in terrible work relations. One day the Thai manager brought a few hundred 13-page work internship essays in to be marked for 20 baht each (they took 30 minutes to mark one). No one was marking them so he threatened to fire people if they didn\'t do what he asked. This was enough for me. No contract, no overtime and threats equals no teacher.\n\nMany schools in Phuket operate with a factory worker mentality and it is obvious as they are constantly advertising for teachers. I find it hard to believe that a so-called prestigious university operates without following basic Thai labor laws or MOE standards. This was a very costly lesson for me and I hope no one makes the same mistake.',1,'2009-09-14 12:13:52','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb51.jpg','2009-09-14 12:13:52','2009-10-26 04:04:53'),(757,'A job gone wrong','a-job-gone-wrong','MP','In March I was offered a job through a teacher placement agency.

They offered a great package which included free accommodation, a great placement, a decent salary and 50% insurance. This gave me another opportunity to live and work in Thailand; a country that I love. However, it it turned into a nightmare that I will never forget.\n\nI had visited Thailand once before in October 2008. I did volunteer work for three months and I was desperate to return after several months living back in the UK. I did loads of research to get the right information on the company and I got friends to double check on this research. At the time everything looked fine. I sent off for all the documents I needed to start the job, signed the contract and received the Non-B visa. I was finally ready for a fresh start in Thailand and to continue my work as an English teacher. I booked a one-way flight not knowing when I would be returning. \n\nI arrived in Bangkok a few days prior to the training course to settle in. The agency had already arranged the hotel so I started to relax. A few days later I met the agency staff and the training course commenced. The first day of the training went fine, however on the second day around 2pm, they asked to speak to me in private. At the time I thought this was odd. They sat me down and told me they didn\'t like me and that they wanted me to leave. \n\nAfter speaking to some friends, they liased with the agency on my behalf and the company managed to find me a suitable position. However, they were unable to tell me the conditions of work. On arriving at the workplace, I was told that I\'d be working 30 minutes a day for 4 days a week and for a salary of just 5000 baht per month. I have been struggling to find work ever since and as a result I am returning home to UK next month.

Someone there has decided for some reason that anyone over 50 is braindead and incapable of teaching English to undergraduates!','Dear Philip, I hope you can to publish this letter in your postbag section for public access.\nI have enjoyed reading your website for its informative and helpful advice for years not to mention its useful jobs section. However, I think you are doing a disservice to teachers by allowing your website to be used by institutions that promote age discrimination when they advertise for English teachers.\n\nSurprisingly, a respected top university in Thailand was one of the first to promote this kind of blatant prejudice against teachers. Someone there has decided for some reason that anyone over 50 is braindead and incapable of teaching English to undergraduates! Usually teachers at this age are experts in their profession and are quite capable of working for at least another 10 years. I can understand why a profit orientated language school would prefer to hire cute young studs or pretty gals to entertain their students and get them to keep signing up for another course as they are in the business of edutainment. In developed countries with just labour laws it would be unacceptable for an institute of higher learning to publicly discriminate against older teachers. So why is this happening in Thailand?\n\nAn institute of higher learning ought to act as a role model for society by avoiding discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, skin color, (or in Thailand’s case skin complexion!) religion, race or age. It\'s time Thailand became serious about teaching English. For too long the teaching of English, even at college level, has been tokenistic and pretend. Teachers should be judged by their work record not by their age or how pretty,or “ribroy” they look on the outside. Would a Thai institute of higher learning have employed Professor Albert Einstein if he had applied to work here. His hair may have raised a few eyebrows or he probably would not even have got to the interview stage because he was over 50! Students can actually enjoy studying when they are learning something serious. They don\'t need to be entertained by bright young things all the time. \n\nIf one college decides on 50 as the cut off age this may set a precedent or even worse, other colleges may decide to bring down the age. Actually, recently another third level college has done just this by advertising for teachers between the ages of 23 and 37! Where did they get these magic numbers from? From scratching the bark of a sacred tree? Ajarn.com is a service to help teachers, not to make life more difficult for them. These colleges of higher learning could be persuaded not to be so blatantly ageist in a public forum if their ads were to be politely rejected and hints given as to why, so as to put a stop to this unfair employment practice that makes no logical sense. \n\n<b>Phil\'s response</b> - Thank you for the letter KD. As a man of 45 years old, I know what it feels like to suddenly realise you just might be on the wrong side of the tracks. However, I\'d like to make a few points. Firstly, this \'ageism\' thing in ajarn.com job ads is NOT something new. I noticed the trend and wrote an article about this topic over four years ago. Personally, I don\'t think the trend ever became par for the course. You will always have the odd employer who is looking primarily for the younger teacher but that doesn\'t mean every employer and job advertiser follows suite. There are still many employers out there who recognise the value of experience and usually they are the ones worth working for. I\'ve always had a saying where teaching jobs in Thailand are concerned - what schools want and what schools get are two entirely different things. I\'m willing to bet that your \'respected university\' changes its tune when it realises that there probably aren\'t enough good teachers under fifty years of age applying for the positions. We\'ll wait and see shall we?\n\nIn ajarn.com\'s defence, your idea of me, little old me, trying to educate these establishments not to be so ageist just won\'t work. I\'m sorry but it won\'t. Advertisers will simply lose face and stop placing job ads altogether. And of course we haven\'t got into the issue of how time-consuming it would be to contact these \'rogue advertisers\' and actually talk to the target person. Then again, perhaps refusing to post their job ads until the employer sees sense will serve as a form of punishment? But what about the teacher who is aged between 23 and 37 and who is desperately looking for a job? Won\'t they get punished as well if the job ad doesn\'t appear at all? Let us know your thoughts.

The following is my story of arrival in Bangkok: I arrived in Bangkok at the end of September with bounding enthusiam and my degree and TEFL certificates. Having left England on a quest for a more enjoyable life, I was extremely keen to find a job and get started.\n\nThings however didn\'t go exactly to plan. I gave myself a week to acclimatize (get drunk and party) before starting my hunt for a teaching position. Of course, the first resources I went to were job message boards. Everyone I had spoken to, and everything I had read led me to believe there would be plenty of jobs to be found during the month of October. Unfortunately this didn\'t seem to be the case.\n\nI emailed the schools who were advertising and made little headway. By the first week I had been offered two jobs, but neither were particularly attractive, more down to the school and their working conditions rather than salary. Another week passed with another offer from a similar school. A further week passed with nothing. Not a interview, not a job offer, nothing! By the end of that third week I was becoming concerned. I was meeting many teachers (both employed and unemployed and some newbies like me) who were bemoaning the lack of jobs. Their attitude began to make me feel despondent. \n\nI realised I had a choice to make. I couldn\'t carry on searching for work if I wasn\'t going to do it with a clear mind and a vision of what I wanted. So I promised myself two more weeks would either get me a job, or force me to look at teaching somewhere else. At the start of my fourth week of searching, I started googling \"Bangkok schools\" and other keywords and emailed schools directly. In two days I must have sent over 100 emails. Friday rolled on and still nothing. My luck changed on Saturday morning when my present employer phoned me. \n\nI\'ve just completed my first month at this language centre. I waited for a good job rather than accepting one I wouldn\'t be happy with and I\'m very pleased with my decision. I\'ve earned just over 40k this month, and I am very confident my income will rise in the coming months. While the school is owned and run by Thais, the DOS and all the other teachers are native English speakers. The atmosphere is pleasant at its worst and friendly in the staff room.\n\nWhy have I written this? I promise it is not to rub job-searching teachers noses in it. I\'ve written this because one simple aspect of finding a job seems to be escaping many of the unemployed teachers I\'ve met in the last two months. You have to want the job. If you write polite emails, eventually you will get an interview. If you get an interview, you have to make the employer feel like you actually want the job (that is obviously assuming that you do really want the job!). If not, someone else will get the work.\n\nThere is probably less work out there than before. Everyone seems to be saying that, so I can\'t disagree. What I can say is that I am not surprised why so many teachers I meet are unemployed. Their attitudes are all wrong. Before I get feedback complaining that not all job-seekers are the same, I do know that. I\'m not painting everyone with the same brush, I\'m just painting the majority.

Their response was yes, they will do it if we can find 14 people willing to commit. The price is 66,000 baht which is not chicken feed for those on a teacher\'s salary, but it is a lot less than St Theresa\'s program. They will accept payment in two instalments: the first two weeks before the course started (likely early June if numbers are there) and the second payment mid-term. We would probably host the program here at Mahathai.\n\nI have at least three and possibly four teachers at Mahathai Boys School who want to do it.

In fact, it is very bad.\n\nOur case went down like the Titanic today. We had our labor law book and even the attorney that wrote the book. We had done our research and were trying to get ready to petition the school for further damages when we pulled the school registration and then the bomb went off.\n\nI cannot address the issue of severence other than if the school is private it is up to the kindness in their hearts on this matter. But they have no law to force them to give out severance pay. However, public or for-profit schools are forced to pay. I did not ask about the international schools.\n\nSeveral of us from a well know private school went to file a class action against the acts committed against us, ie..unfair dismissal, failure to notify, failure to abide by the Labor Protection Act, failure to follow contractual disciplinary guidelines, and also severence pay. What we found out was as follows.\n\nFor the rights of teachers at private schools. You have none. PERIOD. We just left our attorney and it has been shown that private schools are above all Thai laws. In fact, there is no law to regulate them. The only thing they must go by is their contract with the teacher. That is correct....They do not fall under any law or provision of the Thai Labor Protection Act. They are exempt. \n\nIt has now been shown without a doubt that the school owners have found a way to avoid paying benefits, severences, or exercising any form of labor rights for its employees while they get richer.\n\nIf you as a teacher work for a private school you are to expect nothing more than the contract they give you. So buyer beware......They can terminate at will, work as they chose, offer or not offer what they want and you have no recourse under Thai Labor Law. If you do not believe me you can go to a reputable lawyer of which we did and he/she will show you the law. And before you ask, \"Yes, the Thai Supreme Court upheld this right to the private school\".\n\nIt is simply amazing that the Thai government will not protect even it\'s own Thai citizens from the type of neglect and abuse from owners that have chosen to get around the labor and social protection laws to make themselves richer. \n\nIf you are working in Thailand or planning on coming to Thailand to teach, you need to be aware that you have not one single right under Thai Labor Protection Act if you work for a private school and they know this. They exploit this and the Thai government support it. Go elsewhere if you can. We are all leaving this great land and recommend it to no one except for a vacation.\n\nschools that are not private or non-profit are accountable to the laws. If you have a renew letter or intent to renew a contract the contract is not viewed as a fixed term but a continuous contract. All laws apply to any other schools not in the above category. If our school were not private we were to be awarded seven months total pay plus our final 2 months and bonus. \n\nWe were just dumbfounded that the government would allow this obvious ruling to get around the law. It makes us think a major payoff was committed at a very high level. All in all, our law firm was just great. In fact, because we were dropped dead in the water, the law firm wavered all fees and charged us nothing. That in itself really impressed me. \n\nThe key is for teachers not to work for private schools. Nearly all the complaints we have found where teachers did not get paid was from privates and those paid were not privates. The worst schools seem to pay the best salaries just to keep the teachers in line and compliant. I do not have any information on international schools or how they are regulated. If I have to teach here agian, my first question will be are you registered as private or non-profitable? However, I highly suspect I will be leaving Thailand asap.

However this is not true if you are a teacher or principal  - foreign or Thai, working as a teacher at a Thai private school.','I am writing in response to the letter posted by Justice for Chalkies. \n\nEvery person working in Thailand, who receives money for their labour,  have the right to labour protection. If you are a Thai or foreigner, a doctor or a street sweeper, employed legally or illegally. You have rights under the Labour Protection Act of 1998 to fair working conditions, working hours, rate of pay, holiday, severance pay and so on. \n\nHowever this is not true if you are a teacher or principal  - foreign or Thai, working as a teacher at a Thai Private school. You are specifically excluded from the Labour protection Act, as from January 2009. And it appears there is no law in place that protects your rights as an employee.  \n\nThe implication of this is immense.\nEffectively it means that a private school can do whatever they like, provided that it does not violate the conditions of a signed contract. For example. If a contract states that the school will deduct xxx baht if you are late a few times, or for leaving your aircon running overnight, they are in their rights to deduct this money - even if it is strictly prohibited under existing Thai Labour Law. Even though it would be unlawful if any employer in the Kingdom deducted money from their employees paycheck to impose a fine, its fine to do so if you are private school. \n\nIt also means that they can hire and fire you at will, and do not need to give you a reason to terminate you on the spot. If the contract states that you work say 10 hours a day, or 12, and you have to work 6 days a week, or 7 without a break, and you signed it, you are bound by it. \n\nIt also means that you have no right to legal recourse if you are on the receiving end of any unfair labour practice. You would also not have any claim to severance pay. So if you have worked for a school, regardless of whether it is on a rolling, or fixed contract, you will have no right to severance, no matter how long you have worked for them. \n\nThis has immense implications on the powers a private school has over its teachers. It implies that they have carte blanche on just about anything, and as a teacher, you have even less rights than the illegal/legal burmese worker that has been hired to clean your classroom. \n\nEffectively it leaves a glaring hole in Thai labour Law, one which would need to be challenged in a Supreme Court. \n\nI am not sure how an amendment like this got passed by the parliament , without anyone working for a Private Thai School not raising the alarm on waiving  their most basic right as a worker in the process. \n\nIt is utterly demoralizing that this amendment gives free reign to private schools to use and abuse professionals at their will.\n\nIt will be interesting to see if, and when, someone wakes up and sets right this appalling oversight which effectively gives an illegal labourer in the Kingdom more rights than a Thai citizen.',1,'2010-03-15 11:36:46','','2010-03-15 11:36:46','2010-03-16 21:09:47'),(1489,'How to win friends?','how-to-win-friends','Renee','I\'ve been here seven years and found itr difficult to meet female friends.','In response to both \"Good Women are Hard to Find\" and \"Where are all the Good People?\" I know what both of you mean exactly. \n\nI have been working in Thailand for over 7 years now and yes, it is sad to say, I have never really made any female friends at all.

I\'ve been toying with the idea recently of re-organising such an event on perhaps a fortnightly or monthly basis. I think in these uncertain times, there are even more reasons for teachers to get together in an informal atmosphere and share information. Whether it\'s a ladies only event or open to all is neither here nor there. Female teachers would hopefully turn up in droves and naturally gravitate towards each other. It would be just nice to make a few new friends I guess. The first thing you need of course is a venue and there\'s never going to be a shortage of offers from restaurants or bars looking to fill the place early in the week. It also needs to be somewhere that\'s easy to get to for everybody.

I was told then by the admin staff at the school that I would need to do a course to get a teachers permit.

Well, for many teachers - especially those who have done nothing in the past two years - the two-year period is up. In many cases though, employers have been successful in getting a second extension to the waiver agreement (or so I’m led to believe) but other employers have been knocked back and teachers now face losing their jobs. \n\nAs with so many rules and regulations in Thailand - the colour is grey!

When expectations are not met we are often disappointed. Assumptions tend to involve common sense and seem to be less harmful to us. Or are they?\n\n1.    Foreign Assumption: If I sign a contract it will be honored.\n\nThai Assumption: We will do what we want now that we got you here. Maybe we will have honor.\n\n2.    Foreign Assumption:  Those who have power are concerned with education for young people.\n\nThai Assumption: Why benefit a country or people when you and your buddies are making lots of money? Besides, your kids will get your job courtesy of our corrupt network.\n\n3.    Foreign Assumption:  Schools value knowledge and expect you to contribute yours.\n\nThai Assumption: We don\'t care just put on the factory uniform. You’re lucky it\'s a shirt and tie.\n\n4.    Foreign Assumption: In a very hot country you can drink water in class as you are speaking a lot.\n\n Thai Assumption: You\'ll be fired for drinking water in class and no food allowed in the staff room.\n      \n5.    Foreign Assumption:  You will get your bonus and have a job next year as you honored a contract.\n\nThai Assumption: We don\'t care how long you have been here. We can pay less as you have too many years. We invented a new rule to not pay your bonus it’s called subject to change at any time. Get a lawyer!\n\n6.    Foreign Assumption:  People you work with will be professional and not interfere with your life.\n\nThai Assumption: Professionals have degrees. If we can hire whitey for less, get away with it and create fear to control then that\'s all that matters...profit, profit, profit.\n\n7.    Foreign Assumption:  Merit is emphasized in a country of merit.\n\nThai Assumption: Ha ha ha ha. Family name and money is first. Who cares if a kid\'s lazy and dumb? More money for penalty fees. So we lost a poor intelligent student...no biggie.\n\n8.    Foreign Assumption: Honesty is a part of the school process—especially religious schools.\n\nThai Assumption: Honesty doesn’t pay the bills or allow for expansion—we need to build another school.\n\n9.    Foreign Assumption: Accepting corruption means you are not corrupt.\n\nWrong Assumption: Real teachers cannot do the wrong thing for long it goes against our code. \n\nI came to Thailand as I had friends from my college years who traveled through Asia. They all enjoyed Thailand, however, none of them worked here.\n\nI think it would be safe to assume that if a single teacher wants to save money and do what is best for the future than Thailand is not the country to work in. Vietnam, Malaysia, Japan, Korea and the Middle East seem to have a better idea of labor relations and the rewards are much better.\n\nThe common Thai practice of ignoring corruption or the attitude of calling it a compromise is really quite unbecoming of the culture and nothing to be proud of. If people with power do nothing about corruption then they are no better than the corrupt. The sad thing is that young people are learning corruption in certain school systems that have no accountability for the youth and characters that they are developing.\n\nIt may be safe to say that any assumptions in Thailand are probably not a good thing to have.',1,'2010-04-10 05:18:43','','2010-04-10 05:18:43','2010-04-11 15:03:44'),(1557,'Thailand\'s factory education model producing disappointing results','thailands-factory-education-model-producing-disappointing-results','John Weathers','Factory model schools put pressure on teachers to let students hand in very late work or redo exams many times until they get a passing grade.','When governments make laws that involve education it is done in the best interests of the people. Most countries have laws that regulate the number of students in a classroom. Unless one is in university, modern countries have a class size of no more than 25 students in order that each student may recieve adequate attention and that teachers may get to know their students. \n\nThai schools which have class sizes of fifty students are operating a model of education run like a factory. Many of these so called good schools use the front or face of a private religious organization in order to justify charging high fees and are, in fact, not run like the Western model they are claiming to represent. One organization I know of allows student to fail on a regular basis and charges penalty fees to the parents. This results in many students who get high school certificates but are not prepared for university entrance exams and have to accept entrance into low prestige universities.\n\nIn classrooms of fifty students many are lazy and choose to copy others work. Factory model schools put pressure on teachers to let students hand in very late work or redo exams many times until they get a passing grade. If teachers do not do these things then they are fired or run off by parents who care about nothing other than what their kid wants. I have even seen one spoiled high school brat threaten a teacher with a pair of scissors because he could not pass his exams--nothing was done to the student.\n\nMany kids learn how to do nothing original, copy others work and get what hard working students get yet many say this is a country of merit. Basically, the factory school model of so many Thai schools socializes students into learning how to do the wrong thing and expecting rewards for doing it. Then the kids grow up to be adults who do the same thing and people wonder why corruption is very prevalent in Thai society when it is learned right in the school system.\n\nIf there is anything that prevents or slows modernization it is corruption and the many have to suffer because of the few who choose to not live by honest principles--calling something a compromise instead of looking at it for what it truly is does not make a person a good member of society.\n\nI find it very ironic that many of the religious schools in Thailand do not do the right thing and produce many students who are \"learned useless\" and without moral character. Parents must be very disappointed when they use their power and family name to get a son a good position in society when he is incapable of making a sound decision.\n\nIn the worst case scenario students get government scholarships to study overseas and within the first week realize that they are incapable of taking a note in class and have no clue what information in the lectures are important.\nUltimately, they come back to Thailand and feel betrayed by the Thai system that told them they were good enough when in fact they were not prepared for the overseas challenges.\n\nWhat about those who graduate and stay in Thailand? Are they prepared for the challenges of their own country?\n\nWith the amount of problems that regularly occur in the country I would have to say that the future looks very predictable--the schools make lots of money and the students end up disappointed or like many products from Thai factories they look good but don\'t work well.\n\nTo get freedom from something you need freedom to something--this is the beginning of educational reform.',1,'2010-04-15 09:17:41','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb1.jpg','2010-04-15 09:17:41','2010-04-19 03:03:42'),(1614,'A Sad Story','a-sad-story','Apso Olivier','The school system is wonderful.

He lives with his father and mother. John’s teacher is Ms. Jones and the head of the department at big city is Mr. James\n\nChapter 2: The perception\nMs. Jones has been teaching English at big city for several years. Mr James is proud of her because the students always get good grades. This pleases Mr. James and it also pleases John’s father and mother.\n\nTeacher Jones uses text books provided by the Department of Education. Some of the workbooks are new and some have been used. The workbooks come from well respected publishers. There are many examples of vocabulary and grammar. The books are designed so that each student, alone and on his/her own enters answers in the workbook. (This is called the self learning process)\n\nThe school system is wonderful. Teacher Jones’ status in the community is high, and she makes sure that all the students pass her course. She is the only one who determines the grades of each student, so it’s easy for her to make sure that everyone passes. The test she gives are multiple choice so they are easy to grade. It doesn’t take much of her time. She also likes it because she can focus on grammar most of the time. Grammar is easy to teach. There is always one correct answer and this is easy for her to explain using the Thai language. Teaching grammar means that she can avoid speaking English most of the time and still teach.\n\nMr James is pleased with this system too, because he doesn’t have to get involved. When all the students pass, people in the community see him as a good person. If all the students pass, then he is a good departmental head, Big City is a good school and he has many good teachers.\n\nWhen teacher Jones conducts her English classes, she speaks Thai most of the time. That’s because her English pronunciation is very poor, and she is afraid of teaching her students “poor English”. Some of her students have contact with foreigners and they might laugh at her, so she avoids asking questions in English. But this is a false fear, because she has a big stick and the students know better than to laugh at her. They know they must pretend to understand what she is trying to teach them. And the best way to do this is to say nothing, fall asleep or play with their mobile phones. \n\nChapter 3: The reality of the situation\nStudent John was put in a class where the group of students stay together for many years, he has joined a “Group bond” who are his close friends, and that bond may last a lifetime. John makes sure that he does not bring shame to his group bond so he buys a workbook from last year’s student that has already been filled in and shares it amongst his group. If the workbook has been changed, the school system always has some good students in each class that can give him the answers. This is a good because when the teacher asks a question the good student always shouts out the answer first, this is a good thing because the group can then concentrate on doing other more important activities. John has also learned that when the teacher asks him a question directly he doesn’t have to answer the teacher he will first ask another student what the answer is.\n\nTeacher Jones sees the workbooks turned in by her students. It is obvious that some of the workbooks are from last year, because all the exercises are completed. And it is obvious to teacher Jones when one student gets the answer from another student because the wrong answer is identical down to every letter every punctuation mark. It is of little concern to teacher Jones that the answers are “nonsense” English. The main thing is that each student turns in something, right or wrong. After all she is her surrogate mother, and they are her adopted children. She lives in a culture where discipline is avoided, so she is reluctant to scold her “children”.\n\nTeacher Jones sometimes comes up with new ideas for her students, that may help his students understand English better. But if those new ideas mean that the students will no longer use the materials selected by the Department of Education, then she will not do it. Her rejection of the choices made by the Department of Education would be viewed, not in their merits, but as insubordination to higher authority. After all, the executives are higher in status then she is, and she wouldn’t ever consider criticizing their actions.\n\nChapter 4: the Misperception\nJohn’s mother and father are happy because their son gets good grades. However John’s mother and father also know that he seldom studies. Instead he spends his time playing computer games when he is not visiting his friends. Mother and father know that John copies his homework from other students just like they did when they went to school. It’s called “information sharing”.\n\nSomchais’ mother and father have now decided to “upgrade their status” as well as their sons’ and have decided to enrol John into the English Mini program at Big City. When John takes the performance tests, his scores are low. But that means that there is something wrong with the test, because John is a good student, Teacher Jones is a good person the head of the department is a good person, and John’s mother and father are good people. \n\nAfter much persuasion John is in the English program. John has already developed a strategy for the English program. Here he will join a new group, the group is his extended family, and he will work hard to help his family members get through their studies, just as they will help him get through with “information sharing”.\n\nJohn’s new Thai and ferang teachers know John’s system and many go along with it. But “wait” that is not true of all his Thai teachers and ferang teachers who are concerned about the welfare and the future of their students.\n\n Unfortunately John is in one of these classes with a teacher that knows the system and certainly doesn’t agree with it. That’s when John’s fantasy world begins to unravel. John must now learn to learn.\n\nChapter 5: The conclusion\nA dedicated teacher never lies about a student’s grades, it is considered shameful, unethical and punishable by instant dismissal in the western world.

From time to time, when needed, other establishments of higher learning such as smaller affiliated universities, contact English teachers of my university to enquire about their availability to teach a few hours in theirs on an hourly rate. \n\nAbout a year ago, I was contacted by the Head Monk of the Foreign Languages department of such an affiliated university, to teach 6 periods on extra pay. I discussed the days, times and the rates of pay and agreed to take up the offer. The following Wednesday I went along to the university. I was told that I would be teaching 3 periods on Saturday mornings and another 3 on Wednesday morning.  \n\nThe Head Monk’s Assistant was a layman in his early thirties, who I gathered was an ex-monk. He took my certificate copies, documents and photos and then said that no register was available for me to sign that day but would have one ready next time. He then took me to my class room in an adjacent block. On the Saturday after, I went along to the office to sign the register, which I hoped would be available. There was no one to be seen for about 15 minutes. Just then the assistant turned up and apologized for being late and then asked me to go to Room 203 in the next block. I went, but could see no sign of this room anywhere in the block, so I came back to see the assistant. By now I was perspiring profusely and had my neck-tie hanging loosely on my neck. \n\nThe assistant apologized and said that he meant the third block and agreed to take me there. As we had to go upstairs I asked the assistant whether I should take off my shoes. His answer was: ‘of course you should, you should know’. Then seeing that I was sweating so much and my face full of exasperation, he said ‘you are not happy here are you? If you don’t like to work here you need to tell me’.  I said that it was none of that, but that I was tired and hot trying to find the class room. \n\nAfter the lesson I phoned up the Head Monk and related to him what happened and pointed out that the assistant was speaking somewhat out-of-order to a person who was doing nothing wrong. I apologized for taking up the Head Monk’s time and asked if I could see him the next day at 4 p.m. He agreed.\n\nWhen I saw the Head Monk as agreed, he sat me down courteously and apologized for what happened and the rather chaotic state of affairs. He said that he was to blame for not getting things in an orderly state. I said that I accept that these can happen anywhere and I thought nothing of it. The Monk then handed me an envelope with some money in it and said: ‘thank you sir for your understanding’. Seeing that I look puzzled he went on to say ‘last evening the six member Directorial Panel discussed what happened and decided that they should clear the bad air between two people for the sake of the university and have decided to terminate my employment’ \n\nRecovering from my shock and dismay, I replied in the following manner: ‘you have taken a decision against and to the detriment of the complainant and in his absence but with the participation of the offender/accused. Altogether you had 7 Thai men making a judgment against a foreigner, whose voice was never heard.

Thai people are gentle, kind-hearted and peace-loving. Given all these good things that teaching in Thailand could provide, I still hold on to my principle NEVER to teach in Thailand again! A few \"powerful\" and \"influencial\" people in that country caused me too much pain - mental, pshychological and emotional suffering. \n\nI used to teach in Thailand. I loved working with my Thai collleagues and students. However, I couldn\'t imagine insulting myself and the nobility and diginity of the teaching profession by embracing a very rubbish system. You see, there is too much discrimination. I worked under this agency managed by a wicked woman. I received 15,000 baht per month. I had an American colleague who was never a college degree holder, was never a teacher in the US, was never a good teacher in that Thai school where we taught and even a grade school student in my country could tell that he is stupid. But then that same agency which sent me to that school asked me to assist him anyway. And he was very lucky. He received 25,000 baht! No sweat.\n\nThis is just one. In another school where I taught, another stupid guy from New Zealand enjoyed his no-sweat 35,000 baht, while I had mine at a much lower amount. this is with another agency managed by a Thai teacher.\n\nAll these things because these people, who are not even qualified to teach in kindergarten schools in my country, are the so called \'native speakers\"! These are just tourists who go to Thailand, enjoy the bars, night life, beaches and God-only-knows. These are tourists who just want to earn something to sustain a good life. These are tourists who have no heart for teaching and the students. these are people who say all the bad things about Thai teachers and students. And these are the same people who enjoy the money from the sweat of the parents of these students they love to mock and criticise. \n\nI know a lot of other stories about discrimination. And I know that it is a fact that Thai agencies, and other agencies put up and managed by Thais and \"native speakers\" practice such. Even Germans, Dutch, Italians, Nigerians, \"white\" and \"black\" people presented as \"NATIVE SPEAKERS\"! How could some people afford to fool others? Of course, most people, especially those who are not that educated nor learned, believe and see these people as \"native speakers\"\n\nIt is a shame that these good Thai students and parents are being fooled. So I can\'t afford to work there anymore. I don\'t want to prepare mateials to be used by these \"native speakers\", assist \"native speakers\", and be a part of that rotten system anymore. It is no wonder, wherever you go in Thailand, you ask people with \"How are you?\" and they will automatically answer, \"I\'m fine thank you and you?\" You ask them, \"How do you do?\" and they will respond, \"Alaina?\" What do you expect from people taught by fake teachers?\n\nNo offense meant to real teachers. Of course there are good, real, caring teachers who are native speakers. As I have said earlier, Thai people are so nice.But I don\'t want to take the risk again. I don\'t want to go through those traumatic experiences again, of being discriminated against and collaborating with agencies and somehow taking part in fooling these lovely Thai people.',1,'2010-05-23 16:34:40','','2010-05-23 16:34:40','2010-05-24 06:06:41'),(1698,'Happy in the UAE','happy-in-the-uae','Jeff Warden','If a person has any education at all the UAE has excellent opportunities if one wants to teach','I Worked in Thailand for nearly ten years before I made the decision to move to Dubai. I have a masters degree and landed a position at a college. I am a husband to a Thai wife and I have two kids. When I worked in Thailand the last salary I had was 75,000 baht. I can tell you that with a wife and two kids in school after the bills there was very little left over for savings. One time my father got sick and I had to return to North America on short notice. In order to be able to do this I had to borrow money from the school I worked at.\n\nWhen I made the decision to work in the UAE I was contacted by a college and the process went very quickly. The salary was $5000 US tax free with many incentives. I had to provide translated documents for my wife and kids as per what was required by UAE law. I quickly sold everything and it was hard to watch years of  items disappear as I sold the things I collected to make a home for my family.\n\nAt first I found the process stressful because the money was tight to pay for a  lawyer and translation fees for my family. Thailand has never been a good country to build a savings for the family. Once everything was finalized I was relieved to receive plane tickets for all family members, a free home when I landed in Dubai, 300,000 baht to furnish the home and my kids get free education at a good school. In addition I was told I could get a car loan so I did. For the first time in my life I have a new family vehicle. Every year in Dubai I get a plane ticket to go home and see my family in North America. Moreover, my one month yearly bonus is kept as a savings for my retirement.\n\nI have been here over a year and I have a good savings for my future. When I decide to leave I will also have my monthly bonus accumulated over the years for retirement.

People from the Philippines typically send a significant proportion of their earnings back home, which does not benefit Thailand. ','In response to \'Traumatized by Thailand\' (Postbox 24th May 2010)\n\nWho is Mickey Davenport – really - Maria Diaz or Miriam Divero perhaps? I am curious why this poster would feel ‘traumatized’ for being paid 15,000 baht per month, when certified teachers in the Philippines typically make about 10,000 baht per month (12,500 PHP). It would seem then that a Filipino/a working in Thailand as a teacher is making 50% more than they would back in their own country. By contrast, an American working in a Thai school making 35,000 baht per month is making the same wage as someone working full-time flipping burgers for McDonald\'s back in the USA. An American or other native-speaker with a Western university education who is working in Thailand is typically making 1/3 of what they could earn at home. Supply and demand are partially responsible for salary variations here in the Kingdom. \n\nFurthermore, in contrast to a Filipino/a teacher working in Thailand, Westerners generally spend most of their salary inside Thailand. People from the Philippines typically send a significant proportion of their earnings back home, which does not benefit Thailand. \n\nFinally, any university-educated Westerner reading the Davenport post can easily spot the clues which suggest that it was written by a non-native speaker of English. Thus, even if a native-speaker is not a certified teacher, she/he can still produce and recognize a well-written English text. Without the ability to produce models of good writing and/or properly evaluate student writing, a teacher\'s value is considerably diminished. \n\nThe Thai education system is certainly far from perfect, and, being a human creation, imperfection will likely continue to feature.',1,'2010-05-29 04:26:56','','2010-05-29 04:26:56','2010-06-01 15:03:57'),(1723,'Just a thank you','just-a-thankyou','Titch','Feedback is always appreciated','Phil,\nSite gets better and better...treat yourself to a sangsom and coke.

I have my own company now and have been working successfully for many years. My company provides me with an expat executive level salary which is more than enough for me to live off of. All of my business is from repeat customers/clients or referrals. My customers/clients ranged from active and sweet two year olds to school/university level students to Business/Executive level Management to government officials who report directly to the authority in this country. I\'ve lived in Thailand for long time and have worked for schools as well as corporate companies in senior level management. I\'m still learning, but at the same time I believe I have a good handle on Thailand and the Thai culture.\n\nNow to my points: I have from time to time read several of the articles post on your website and many are both interesting and good, but at the same time, I think sometimes we are beating the same dead horse over and over and over again without any real value or change. We all know that news reporting isn\'t fair or always objective. Wow...do I really need to say this to educated people. Secondly, white vs. black vs. Asian vs. non-Asian vs. American vs. British vs. native vs. non-native vs. the world vs. alien. How many vs\'s do we really need to know? We will always have vs\'s around. As long as we have selfish, weak minded, ignorant people around, they will always use these vs\'s to promote themselves and their ideas, but let them do it on their own time and website. We can call it, SelfishWeakMindedIgnorant.com, and if we want to read about all their vs\'s...we can just go there. \n\nI have also heard and seen with my own two eyes the issue with all the vs\'s. It has stopped me in some cases and it has not in others. I\'m still here and I can still show you the money. More than the average white, native, American, British, blonde, blue eyed teacher out there. Can\'t we all just get along and stop talking about all this stuff. Put it on that website I mention and post and talk about it all day/life long. However, if those who want to talk about these subjects so much, as if they believe it’s wrong, really want to do something to change this issue, then quit working for those companies, schools and organizations who believe in this crap or post those type of ads. Ah hah, got you...I know you won\'t quit and because of that...it will never stop. So please stop pretending that you don\'t like it or care. \n\nHow many times have you heard a person say something about another person because of race, color, or any negative reason beyond their control and those persons are still your friends and you still hang out with them, I\'m not talking about family...you can\'t get rid of them even if you wanted too, I’ve tried. Get real, those of us who have to deal with these issues every day, really don\'t need to hear about it from people who don\'t deal with them. We don\'t even need to hear about them from people who do have to deal with them. We just need them to stop and the only way that will occur is by action no talking about it all day/life long.\n\nAlso, I lived through the last few weeks and have heard every opinion under the sun. I have both heard and have seen with my own two eyes a lack of objectivity and basically lying on both sides. Wow...amazing Thailand.  I knew there was something to that name.\n\nRegarding the news reporting objectivity, get real. Whether it was a red vs. yellow or green vs. black shirt, there is a great division between those who have and those who don\'t have in this country. If that was dealt with then more than likely, we wouldn’t have had the events over the last two months or last year. Look at China, they had Tiananmen Square. They dealt with it in the right way. They pump money into the economy and as long as people are able to take care of themselves and their families. Go to school and get an education, most Chinese have forgotten all about it. It may not be right, but you have to admit it worked. The class system here is really bad. I\'ve heard people refer to other people as uneducated dogs or over-educated pigs. What would you like to be...neither. I read an article last week that was written in 2009. It stated that the different in the have and have not’s in western countries is about 0.04 - 0.06, in developing countries it is 0.07 - 0.08, in counties where there are currently active civil wars, it is 0.15 - 0.18. Currently, in Thailand it is 0.12 - 0.15. So with this said, it should be no surprise about what happened last month or even last year. \n\nSo which way is Thailand going and what is it\'s future. It also referred to an economic model that developing countries use to close this gap. The article stated that although initially to gap widens at first, it eventually moves closer and everyone begins to enjoy life. However, most countries peak, then begin to close the gap, but when they apply this model to Thailand, it was supposed to have peaked in 1994…yes that’s right 16 years ago. Well. Numbers don\'t lie and the rule of cause and effect still apply. Remember your boy scout training and \"Be Prepared\"...to run, it may get a bit hotter in this country. Also, history has spelled this all out before, and we all already know what will happen, so why keep talking about it. I drive a car and the wheels on my car go round and round. How many times do you want me to discuss that subject with you? I hope zero. \n\nFinally, and this is for you Phil. I\'m assuming you are one of those people who believe this type of activity is wrong. So if this is what you really think, then why don\'t you not post those type of ads and post a few more faces of color on the front, not side, of your website. I know... business. It was just a thought; nobody wants a real change, just want to feel good about talking about it. Enjoy the chatter, because that\'s the only thing it is, and for the people you are talking about...well, we\'ve heard it all before over and over and over again. You know that dead horse.\n\nPS.

Furthermore, Ajarn.com is accessed by many thinking of coming to Thailand, so I would imagine, that the wider the range of views, even those from the inferior people at \"SelfishWeakMindedIgnorant.com\" would serve to give a more balanced picture of what the prospective teachers might expect.

The ad posted on the ajarn site website, stated the school is searching for secondary school teachers.  \n\nA few days after I applied, I got a call from the school asking me to come in for an interview.  They asked me if I wanted to do a demonstration class of any kind.  They gave me the option of doing such a demonstration class in any discipline I wanted (math, science, social studies, to name a few of the choices).  At the time, I thought this seemed a little strange since surely they would have had a specific need for a specific kind of teacher rather than every kind of teacher.  At any rate, I chose science.  So I was to do a demonstration class for 10th grade students for a science class.\n\nThe school is not exactly in a centralized, convenient location.  Its on the outer-fringes of Bangkok and not near any mass transit routes at all.  Therefore, I drove my scooter all the way from Payatai in the middle of downtown to the school; a 1 hour+ trip through dangerous traffic in the heat in the middle of the day.  \n\nWhen I got to the school, I filled out several application forms and an older man, presumably a teacher at the school, copied my degree and TEFL paper.  He interviewed me and asked me questions about my resume.   Then, after about 30 minutes of detailed interrogation, he announced that actually the school was not hiring for a secondary school teacher at all.  Apparently, they only had one position available, and it was teaching kindergarten.  As I have neither experience for nor desire to teach kindergarten, I politely refused.  Following this, he kept on going as if he hadnt heard me refuse-- he told me the next step would be to see the director, fill out more papers, etc.  I reiterated to him at least 3 times that I was not interested and there are many teachers who would rather teach kindergarten but I\'m not one of them.  He told me the school has trouble finding teachers to teach kindergarten.  I asked him why they don\'t just place an ad for the job they need filled rather than one for a secondary school teacher.  He told me, \"sorry, they have only one ad-form for all their job postings\" (which, as you can see from the ad they posted on your website, is specifically for secondary school teachers.)\n\nI find it rather funny that this school has the idea they can get a difficult-to-fill post filled by advertising for it under false pretenses of another job title... do they actually think we job seekers are dumb enough to just say, \"OK, that\'s fine, even though I wanted to be a rocket scientist, poop scooping will be just fine..\"?  But at the same time, it\'s really annoying and for a remotely-located school such as this one, its a real time-waster...  Anyway, thanks for reading.\n\nPhil / ajarn.com says - Thank you Nathan for getting in touch and keeping us informed on this matter. I can appreciate the total waste of time and energy involved.

Thai teachers do teach grammar and vocabulary, although I don’t see how considering most can’t even speak a coherent sentence in English','I am responding to a letter dated July 3, 2010 from Apso “Is the writing on the wall for foreign teachers in government schools?”\n\nThe writer states he was told by a recruiter, in no uncertain terms, that the MOE isn’t happy with the foreign teachers and that Thai teachers do a very good job of teaching English. He continues to say that the only reason foreign teachers are here in Thailand teaching is because of their accent(s). \n\nLet’s look at the reality. Thai teachers do teach grammar and vocabulary, although I don’t see how considering most can’t even speak a coherent sentence in English. Most of the ones I have worked with in the eight years teaching here in Thailand have a difficult time responding to “Good morning. How are you?” \n\nIf the Thai teachers do a “very good” job of teaching English as the recruiter states, why are the test scores low and most students that complete M6 unable to say much more than “Good morning teacher”? Of course there are exceptions, but not many compared to the number of students.\n\nIt’s common knowledge that the reason we are here teaching is simply MONEY - as with everything in Thailand. We make the schools and the government too much money for them to get rid of us. I personally do not believe they care about education or if they do, it is very low in the pecking order after Buddha, the temple, sports, competitions, teacher’s day, sports day, etc. \n\nUntil the Thai government gets serious about education, Thailand will stay a third world country as it has for many years. The students have no accountability or responsibilities, so they skip classes at will. No one cares or even checks to see where they are. With a “no fail” policy and no discipline policy, what is the incentive for the students to come to class? \n\nThe following are some excerpts from a upper level M6 student’s notebook that a Thai teacher wrote, “exseleant work” at the last school I worked in.\n\nDialog 1 (in part) Laura- What a beautifully day.\n                             Manit- Sure that a good idea\n\nDialog 2 (in part) John- I go shop and no open\n                             Juila- That to bed\n\nDialog 3 (in part) Clerk- One monent, I will arrange him\n                              Wangla- Yes, could you tell me what call breakfast ready?\n\nDialog 4 (in part) Wangla- No, I to go to market with my mather.\n\nKeep in mind that this was an upper level M6 student. Obviously, I think it is clear as to why we are here. Trying to “unteach” what the Thai teachers have taught wrong is one of the most frustrating aspects of teaching here. \n\nSo, to hopefully answer Apso’s question, I do not believe that, “The writing is on the wall at the government schools” now or anytime in the near future. This is a money hungry country, but the Thais aren’t stupid enough to get rid of the foreign teachers. We make too much money for them. But, then again, this IS Thailand and anything is possible.\n',1,'2010-07-16 18:42:58','storage/legacy/files/postbox/teacher_day.gif','2010-07-16 18:42:58','2010-07-17 09:09:59'),(1907,'Ralph has hit the nail on the head','unteaching-what-thai-teachers-have-taught','Peter Batchelor','I asked why the school did not employ an English native speaker and was told \"we get our two English teachers (the Filipino and the Thai) for the same price as one farang teacher so this way is better for the school\"','An excellent post by Ralph Sasser. He\'s hit the nail on the head with those M6 notebook excerpts.\nI would like to add this for what it is worth....In my apartment block are many university students. In the common room, where they are found hard at work revising and completing their homework, I happened to come across two students struggling with an English lesson. I offered to assist. It was my first peek at a university created English test paper and quite frankly it was a disgrace. I wrote down the questions word for word - letter for letter)\n\nTwo of the many questions posed (as written up by the university \"experts\" aka as Thai university lecturers with degrees in English) and I quote.....\n\"Learnning writing experieences\"\n1. Write on Wen what intresting action you can hav with wen explloring hill regions.\n2.  Desciibe under 200 sentences how we can wengo flat altter wheel on carr....(unquote)\n\nIncidentally one of the students advised me that his parents were paying 40k a term for his attendance at the university...along with paying for his apartment and living expenses in Bangkok. Of course he will pass with top marks in English.......money talks.\n\nI recently returned from Yala in Southern Thailand. Whilst there I had the pleasure of spending a day at a local primary/intermediate school which caters for students up to 12 years of age. I asked whether they had an English teaching programme in place as part of their curriculum. I received an enthusiastic reply...yes we have. I was then invited to sit in on a lesson or two. Both the Filipino and Thai \"English\" teachers who conducted the English programme were obviously very nervous at my presence although I had no intention of taking part nor interfering in the lesson - and didn\'t.\n\nThe English lesson was nothing short of a farce (and I am not and did not take the holier than thou attitude in my general appraisal) For a start the very simple worksheets handed to the 12 year old students were saturated with grammatical and spelling errors...along with this were picture sheets compiled by the teachers showing ten different animals written with the Thai and English description for each of them. From the picture sheets - illiphant (elephant) - kanroo (kangaroo)  A picture of a turtle had the description \'frog\' underneath it. I asked why the school did not employ an English native speaker and was told \"we get our two English teachers (the Filipino and the Thai) for the same price as one farang teacher so this way is better for school\" \n\nBetter for the school....but certainly not better for the student......money issues again. This was not a government school. The pupils pay 8000 baht per annum each in school fees. In the near future the lack of correct and proper learning of the English language throughout Thailand is going to hit the economy, business, and many walks of Thai life like an out of control steam train.',1,'2010-07-17 05:04:04','','2010-07-17 05:04:04','2010-07-17 20:08:05'),(1981,'Bangkok Post Articles','bangkok-post-article','Asian Teacher','Thailand\'s plunge in education from the Bangkok Post - A teacher\'s response','Here are some thoughts on two recent Bangkok Post articles. Both articles focused on the lowering of standards within the education industry. The first article was about students having access to the internet and the second article about Thai teachers failing exams or tests in their own subjects.\n\n1. The problem is not access, the problem is the control and dissemination of what is taught and what the student\'s \'should know\'. Critical thinking is of course totally out of the question and in one seminar I taught in Bangkok several years ago to teachers, was told in very strong terms that this was something that did not need to be taught. \n\n2. Even when the Internet is installed, schools block such basic resources such as Wikipedia and Google Images. I recently was asked by a student here to tell her what a \'scale was. When I went to the school\'s network to show her a picture, I found Google\'s images function blocked. Wikipedia was also being blocked. \n\n4. When the network was down, I was told \'it was not important\' by my Filipino teacher colleague who has a \'Masters Degree\' in education. \n\n5. The Thai head of a very large English Program told me that she was too old to use the Internet and email. She of course is responsible for what is taught to these curious minds. As the students get older, their curiosity gets crushed. It is much easier to teach children in Thailand before their teens as the system hasn\'t totally destroyed their curiosity yet. \n\n6. Every student perceives a computer as a \'game machine\'. It is a vicious circle of trying to overcome the prejudices of this with teachers, administrators, parents and students. When new computers are introduced there is no concept or idea as to how to use them. The vast majority of the time they are there for show. \n\n7. If a school of 3,000 students has an Internet connection of over 1 mbps, it is exceptional. One school with 3,500 students and over 400 computers only has a 1 mbps connection (most expensive and \'prestigious\' school here) . In my apartment however, and within walling distance of the same school, I have a sustained 7 mbps connection. Guess connectivity and bandwidth is not important but since anything of use is blocked anyway, I can understand this. \n\n8. Social networking sites, blogs, personal web sites, \'tweet\' (2009 word of the year), etc., all get blank stares when you try to discuss this with students (even high school juniors and seniors). At least \'Google\' (word of the decade) most know...now. Forget trying to use a blog for sharing lessons and knowledge with Thai students and teachers. \n\n9. When I walked into the copy room recently, I was astonished to find a HUGE stack of photocopied material on the components and names of a very old manual typewriter. It wasn\'t even an electric one! OK, I thought, maybe something you need to know in Burma or Laos where there is no electricity, but here in one of the biggest cities in Thailand? Being taught to the up and coming, upper middle class students? There is a disconnect here to say the least. \n\n10. The problem is not the infrastructure or the students, the PROBLEM IS THE SENIOR TEACHERS (the administrators)! Most are TERRIFIED of new things as they just might have to learn something new to keep up with their students or new teachers (e.g. how many times has the age of the universe changed in the last 20 years according to astronomers?). Sit in a Thai classroom day after day as I do and listen to the lectures. Hour after hour after hour the teachers talk, with no questions ever being asked by a student to any subject being lectured on. But the Thai and Filipino teachers always ask \'do you understand?\'. Why don\'t students ask, \'Why? Answer that question and you are on the way to understanding the problem...\n\nThailand\'s teachers fail exams in their own subjects \n\n11. In a very large public school outside Bangkok I was invited to lecture to teachers for a couple of weeks. Having asked many times before I showed up for the material, it of course was never sent. I understood why however when I arrived on the morning to lecture because every single page of the many 100s of pages in the material given to the teachers was in Thai. Not a single exercise or page was in English, and this was for Thai English teachers. (This could be why Thailand has the lowest English Standard in SE Asia.) \n\n12. In the same place there was a student fair where they were showing their projects. One young lad had a project in which he was depicting a 3-D rendition of Yugoslavia as a geography project. When I tried to explain to him in a very kind way that the nation of Yugoslavia in his book had broken apart many years ago and was now a place of many new nations, he pointed out to me that I was wrong because in his book, it showed it as Yugoslavia. The book was of course dated 1955. \n\nWhat astounded me about this was his unwillingness to verify if I was right or wrong and use the Internet to verify his \'research\'. His arrogance and his sureness of being right also bothered me. The project of course was in the show and no other teacher (and I guess also his geography teacher) challenged the project\'s accuracy.\n\nForget trying to explain to many that \'Peking\' was changed to \'Bejing\' 25 years ago... \n\n13. Recently I was told how important it was for the English Program students to read 7 books for the semester and write a book report on each (Considering the average student reads 5 books a year, mostly comic, this was an exceptional goal I thought.). As I started getting the reports in, I noticed that several students had copied the reports of earlier students who had read the same books. When I went back to the department head and informed her of this, the rules immediately changed as \'it was just a writing exercise\' now. Of course the students who had worked hard and done the actual work now got their own work downgraded to those who had cheated.Would have liked to know the \'new rules\' before I read, corrected and graded 100s of reports on my weekends... \n\n14. No one fails. Excellence is not something that children and young adults are encouraged to achieve by their teachers. It is actually frowned upon if the truth be known.\n\n15. I have taught in Korea. Been everywhere in Vietnam. Taught in Cambodia too. (Germany and the states as well.) The Korean children are light years ahead. Vietnam understands the importance of free, high-speed broadband and education. Everywhere in Cambodia young children can communicate with you in English. Thailand better get on the bandwagon or else cultures and economies such as Vietnam are going to leave the Thais in the dust (Actually they already have.). Combined with political upheaval such as the recent Red Shirts protests and shutting down the 8th largest petrochemical facility in the world at Map Ta Phut, one can only wonder where this country is headed. \n\nCompanies have options where they can locate their facilities and who they will employ. Even Japanese companies in Thailand require English knowledge as I have tested many of their employees for their personnel files. Promotion is nearly impossible without it. English for the Japanese manager is the medium of communication as well as for massive European based companies such as Siemens in Germany and Areva in France.\n\n16. I could write pages more, but it has all been said before and nothing will change, even if they do want to spend billions of baht for a \'new breed of teacher\'. For those however thinking about teaching in Thailand, do not expect to make a difference or change the \'staus quo\'. That is NOT YOUR JOB! It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why the people that rule the country got their education outside it. \nAnd here also. \n\nI will once again be blasted for writing the above and having an opinion. I will once again hear, \"If you don\'t like it, leave!\". (That always solves a problem...) \n\nI will no doubt also hear again \"why are you here in Thailand? Why don\'t you go back to your own country and work\' from a perfect stranger (another Thai teacher) while waiting for copies in the copy room. \n\nThere are so many problems at so many levels, it appears to be a problem that can\'t be fixed. Discussion of the issues is out of the question. But that is the way it is designed. Education of the masses is a very dangerous thing. I remember the rise of the labor unions in the US as the \'baby boomers\' became educated. This was followed by massive \'civil disobedience\' in the 1960s and early 1970s. Thailand is on the same path as America and those that rule the country know this. My guess is we are in for a bumpy road ahead which could be why the military wants a new division of 25,000 men to be established in Chiang Mai. Imagine however what all that money and resources could be used for if it went for education...

I\'ve actually wanted to start a blog on this subject a while back but had no time to do so until now. Also my motivation is at its peak for this topic because I am a bit disgusted at the age of some retirees posting their resumes and thinking someone wants them to work as a teacher. \n\nDefinition of retiree: source: Macmillan Dictionary\nSomeone who has stopped working because they have reached the age when they are officially too old to work.\n\nTherefore I know that here in Thailand if you ask this question: What is the offical retirement age? Ask 100 people and you will get 100 different answers. Probably the youngest some Thai person will say is 45. The oldest some farang will say is 75. Thai teachers are required to retire at age 60 and I did confirm this with a dozen teachers at the three former Thai government schools that I worked at in the past. In my own honest opinion for what it\'s worth I strongly disagree with the ages 45 & 75 years old and I strongly support 60 years old as the offical retirement age. \n\nToday I was browsing through the job advertisements on ajarn.com as well as the resumes, competitions (my favorite section) and everything else in between as I do on a daily basis. I found eight resumes that had been posted by teachers with ages between 61 - 71 years old. So yes this bothers me a lot because each one of these (offical retirees) know damn well that firstly they wouldn\'t apply for a teaching job in their native country over the age 60 and secondly if they did apply, no school system in a native English speaking country would consider their resumes. \n\nIf you are over age 60 and you do want to teach then volunteer as that would be a great service to Thai people and Thailand especially in the remote areas of the north. About 5 years ago the so called 45 rule started and just about every other job advertisement would read over 45? then keep on looking (but not these exact words). My thought on that is whoever started, supported or agreed with that as some sort of cut off age - well then you know where you can go!

Not to worry, one day you will be there, trust me.  So when you offer advise to give any service for free, all I can tell you is that is probably what got us to the state we are in now, giving our time and energy to others for years for free, besides working a day job. I truly am a firm believer in performance evaluations.  If a teacher is able to give a class that is creative and effective, then that should be proof enough that they have what it takes.\n\nMany people over the age of 60 are brilliant teachers.  Many physicians still practice into their late 70s.  After all, wouldn\'t it be a waste to let all that knowledge go down the bin? I have seen young teachers come in late with glazed eyes and no consideration of the quality of attention their students get the \"day after\" they partied till the wee hours the \"night before\".

Must be 25 years of age or younger, female and attractive\". In Thailand, Discriminatory ads like this are completely acceptable and legal. In the last few years though, more and more job ads for western English teachers are stating \"must be under 45 years of age\". Age discrimination? Sure it is. But why is this acceptable in Thailand and, if you are an older English teacher over 45 years of age, can you still get a teaching job in Thailand?\n\nWhy do Thais discriminate against teachers over 45? - Primarily, teaching English in Thailand is all about \'edutainment\', meaning if you teach English in Thailand you must be an entertainer as well as an educator. Thais hate to be bored at any time so English class too has to be \'fun\'. If it\'s not fun, they don\'t pay attention and consequently don\'t learn anything. But the prevailing thought in Thailand is, for a teacher to be entertaining and fun, they must be young. Not true, but that\'s the way Thais think.\n\nSecondly, the retirement age in Thailand is 60 years of age and many middle-class Thais retire well before this, in their late 40s and 50s. When I asked 30-something Thai students when they planned on retiring, most of them said by age 45. Asking why so early, the replies I got were most of them figured they wouldn\'t live much past 60, so they wanted to enjoy retirement age while they could. I was shocked when I heard most didn\'t expect or want to live past 60 years of age, but this is often because, in Thailand unlike in the west, many elderly people are in very poor health and younger Thais nowadays don\'t want to be like that. Thus the discrimination against western teachers older than 45 too. Thais are presuming westerners will be frailer in their 50s and 60s like so many Thais are. (In actual fact, this isn\'t true about modern middle-class Thais either - it\'s only that many Thais are still living with the mindset their parents had about age in the 1950s and 60s, and it\'s difficult to change that).',1,'2010-08-04 23:47:10','storage/legacy/files/postbox/retired.gif','2010-08-04 23:47:10','2010-08-09 09:09:12'),(2286,'Catholic schoolteacher caught caning students','thai-catholic-school-teacher-caught-caning-students','Donald Patnaude','How far should teachers be allowed to go when dishoing out corporal punishment to students?','Permitted, should teachers be permitted to throw objects at their students?

How about a clear mandate on what is supposed to be taught and in what flavour of English? It seems far more important to me than sitting a Thai culture course and having to travel to Bangkok to get a teachers license.

More than 70% of the English language can be read and pronounced using phonics, but the kids here are largely taught whole word recognition.\n\nThis means that first grade gets hit straight away because so much of what should have taken place in kindergarten has to be squeezed into each term. 50+ class sizes with 50 minute periods also make it nigh on impossible for one-to-one verbal interaction and this means that rather than learning English, students learn \'about\' it. Lots of students per class equals lots of papers to mark which equals gap fills and multiple choice tests because they\'re easier to mark.\n\nSo, we skip happily through first, second and third grade, without any of the students being able to produce free form language of their own, verbal or written, and only having the ability to answer basic yes or no questions. They might be competent with notebooks, workbooks and worksheets, but they\'re still not actively using any of the language, beyond funny and cool words like Mr. Bean and Ben 10.\n\nAnd then they hit fourth grade where past, present and future tenses are suddenly introduced and it leaves at least 50% of them dead in the water.

Most of the time my contracts are there, everything is great and work is fine. I just arrived to start my teaching time here in Thailand and was offered a 5-week intensive training contract in Trang. My specialty is hospitality. The intensive program was in Hospitality Training at the big resort outside Trang.\n\nThe school offered me the job over the phone and by email. We talked several times and I felt good about it. They asked me to get to Trang ASAP, so I bought a train ticket with no offer to help with the cost. Then the school said oh, you need to fly here please. I said the ticket was expensive, so they offered to pay half. But didnt mention that I would lose half the cost for the train ticket.  I arrived 5 days after accepting the job. The school was to source or arrange for an apartment. When I arrive there is nothing set up, the whole day is spent looking for an apartment for 5 weeks, the school seems annoyed that I would like to have a fridge in the apartment as nowhere seems to offer a fridge. I finally settle on buying a cold box. I pay for 1 month plus deposit. I feel a bit put off that they didnt offer to pay for the apartment if I fulfilled the contract...Oh the contract...Still didnt sign anything, still going on faith..like we do in Canada, because people dont rip you off in the work environment. The wages were discussed, hourly and for the total program. But when I calculated it, the wages were much less then what I was being told. I was feeling this HAD to be dealt with. So when the Thai boss was alone I showed her the calculation and said this is 250 baht per hour by your way, not 350 baht an hour...oh, she said..yes, well the school has added more people and were losing money on the contract..its okay you work for 250? I said no, not really, you promised 350 several times and in BKK before I left, now I am here its not fair you change the wage. I said you should honour the original agreement. She thought about it a bit and said okay. \n\nThe next day she gave me the contract to be signed, it was very unclear about hours of work, details of the teaching schedule and very one sided. All the clauses were about things not done by the teacher, like not going to work, or swearing in class, but nothing about the school not giving me materials to teach, or the school witholding salary..etc. I felt uneasy about one particular clause...it read that if for any reason, any reason at all that the client cancelled the contract, so would my agreed contract for 5 weeks pay also be cancelled. \n\nI meant to bring it up, but then things got faster and faster and the school had clearly stated they would provide the lesson plans, not me. On Sunday night at 8 pm I am told they didnt make a lesson plan and did I have any ideas? Tomorrow is the first day of the program, the first day to impress the client, and the school has done absolutely nothing..again..strange feeling...I pull together some ideas and try to get a good rest, I am teaching the entire day from 9 am to 5 pm. \n\nI arrive at the school with the husband of the Thai who is from England, I am from Canada. We do have differences in our speech. The students are slow to arrive and I only have 5 out of 20 students. I am starting a warm up with greetings. The husband\'s boss starts rolling his eyes and shaking his head as he observes me. This was what he said he was doing for the day...observing my teaching to offer support or changes at the end of the day..I feel disrupted everytime I look over his way, he is showing disapproval all the time.. I have only been there 20 minutes. Next thing, he gets up and takes over..no problem, I dont mind..show me what you would like..BUT the part that gets me is he teaches the students to say:\n\nWhat duh yuh do?...Not...What do you do?...he tells the students there is no need to pronounce everyword..just say the sentence quickly and people will understand?\n\nReally?...The second class starts and I begin the warm up again, students are shy, afraid, not ready and I like them to warm up with English greetings and feel relaxed and ready to learn. This time the husband comes up and starts to tell me in front of the entire class that I am doing a very poor job and to stop the lesson right now and go to a work sheet. I refused. I told him the lesson was a 2 minute warm up and the students could finish first and we would go to the worksheet next. Then the husband said, well I think your finished right now...and I said no, I will finish the class and then you can take over or do what you want. He said fine, your fired.\n\nSo ...here I am now with an apartment rented for one month, no income, no proper discussion about anything, just paid to come all the way here, didnt sign the contract or ask for one first in Bangkok, but came here on faith, only to be fired within 2 hours of the first day..and you know what happened??? They fired me, because the client demanded they find a hospitality NES, they did, and then fired me, so they could say that they would teach the course and pocket the whole contract themselves..the whole thing was just a big fat lie and I was the dumb one for not getting the contract dealt with...so once again teachers...get the contract first.',1,'2010-10-13 18:50:20','storage/legacy/files/postbox/frustration.jpg','2010-10-13 18:50:20','2010-10-14 10:10:21'),(2583,'Thai nationalism','thai-nationalism','Andrew Woodward','My intention here is to propose some ideas that may help to account for the feelings of peculiarity and marked shock that many farang as well as non-Thai Asians experience during prolonged stays in the Kingdom of Thailand.\n','The views expressed herein aren’t those of an embittered, disgruntled expat. It’s not my aim to sink to the level of the ad hominem and fire insults at the people of Thailand, who are, at least in my experience, among the kindest if not the most defensive people on the globe. My intention is rather to propose some ideas that may help to account for the feelings of peculiarity and marked shock that many farang as well as non-Thai Asians experience during prolonged stays in the Kingdom of Thailand.\n    \nIt should first be noted that Thailand has a culture that is either unwilling or unable to engage in self-reflection or self-critique. This is an inherent aspect of Thai culture, and is deeply rooted in the history of the country. From the time they are born, the people of Thailand are instilled with the belief that they are perfect and incapable of making any mistakes – an outgrowth and consequence of this myth is the ludicrous policy of never telling students that their answers are wrong, a policy that’s dutifully enforced even at institutions of higher learning. (The way in which this policy is supposed to facilitate the process of learning is something the educational authorities have never bothered to explain.) \n\nThe inability to self-reflect has proved conducive to the promulgation of an absurd form of nationalism that’s based more on myth and the colorful imaginations of bureaucratic elites and other higher-ups in the silly pyramids shown everywhere in Thailand than on any actual historical record. The promotion of a nationalist ethos is not, of course, unique to Thailand; as an American, the cultivation of so-called “patriotic values” beginning at a very young age is a phenomenon with which I’m quite familiar. However, there is a fundamental difference – alongside the reputable aspects of America, as students we also learned about the more reprehensible and egregious chapters of our history (e.g., slavery, the atrocities committed against Native Americans, racism and xenophobia, the use of nuclear weapons against the Japanese, etc.). In Thailand, to even imply the existence of a less than 100% perfect or “happy” aspect of Thai history and culture would border on something akin to blasphemy, or worse. \n\nThe more important question – and one to which I was never given a valid answer while living in Thailand – is this: What objective fact exists to fuel Thai nationalism? What is there to sustain this myth of Thai perfection and greatness in the hearts and minds of the Thai people? The answer lies partially in the fact that, despite all superficial appearances, Thailand remains a closed society (with the exception, of course, of the allowances made to farang who wish to come and spend their money there or direct the development of the kingdom’s chronically dilapidated infrastructure). \n\nAs a closed society, the people of Thailand are indoctrinated into the belief that they are uniquely special, nay superior, vis-à-vis everyone else on the planet. It doesn’t matter that there isn’t a shred of evidence to support this belief because requiring evidence implies a questioning of the belief in the first place, and questioning anything about what they have been told to believe by their nationalist caretakers is simply not something the vast majority of Thai people would ever do.',1,'2010-10-18 01:39:59','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb34.jpg','2010-10-18 01:39:59','2010-10-23 08:08:00'),(2636,'I love ajarn.com with all my heart','i-love-ajarn.com-with-all-my-heart','Hiding behind a PC','Sometimes you\'ve just gotta let it all out.','Ajarn.com - Thailands number one TEFL website helping crusty old sex tourists find employment since 1999.\nLove the website, its a really great place to find low paying crap jobs.

Y\'all are a bile-filled lot.  I guess there\'s something about teaching in Thailand that makes you that way but I still have to wonder. I\'ve taught in both of the Chinas (ROC & PRC) and have felt the culture shock, all three waves, and there\'s nothing more load-lightening than a good ol\' bitch session with the other foreigners.  But most of us, and I\'ve talked to people teaching in Korea and Japan as well, just accept the differences in culture and get on with enjoying life in these great places.\n\nCase in point: I have no illusions about any of my students becoming fluent in English any time before they go abroad and live in an English-speaking country.  I\'m happy that they can parrot back what I tried to dump in their little brains at the end of the week. I teach them the tests before they take it, I smile at the parents and tell them they\'re kid is great, punch my card and head to the mountains or the bar for the weekend. The retarded traffic, the unaware pedestrians, the spit and betel nut juice on the sidewalk, giant cockroaches, whatever; it\'s not going to get in the way of me enjoying the fact that I live in a great little tropical country where the living is cheap.\n\nMaybe the difference is this: I, and many of my friends, are under no illusion that we are teachers or teaching.  If we wanted to teach we would have gone to a country where the language of instruction was our own native tongue, and we would have taught a subject that we were passionate about. Did any of you really come to Asia to change young minds and make a difference in a child\'s life? You should have gotten that delusion excised before you even bought your plane ticket.\n\nI\'d love to work in Thailand.

From what I have observed this country has moved strongly toward what I perceive, again, as an essentially money obsessed , cheap is better hiring scheme.','Let me confess right at the beginning that I am over 60 years old.  I have taught in several countries and have taught within several different areas of study (Psychology, Business, English). I have two advanced degrees.  I consider myself to be, above all else, a good, possibly talented, teacher.  I am writing this to express some personal feelings that may or may not have general import.  To be honest, thought, I feel  I am pointing to problems that are having a serious impact on the teaching/learning process in Thailand.  \n\nAfter 15 months in Thailand I have reached some surprising conclusions.  I now see that the image of a very astute and, some would say, inscrutable people, have, in fact, developed some habits that put them in a light that is not so bright and shining.  Such details as the cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the land and water they use and the business practices they generally employ display an approach to everyday life that is short sighted and, I’m afraid, crassly money driven.  However, I am speaking outside my “chair” in making such comments.  I know education and teaching and learning and I know for sure that Thailand is sorely lacking in their approach to the educational enterprise.\n\nNow, though, I want to home in on one very specific aspect of education within Thailand – namely, the prevailing approach to utilizing teachers. From what I have observed this country has moved strongly toward what I perceive, again, as an essentially money obsessed , cheap is better hiring scheme. I have seen this in public universities as well as private, and, most glaringly, in the language schools that dot the land.\n\nOne sign of this is the employment practices that, in effect, block out more experienced teachers for obvious reasons of age, but, I believe it also comes back to the obsession with a bottom line.  As to the age question, it has been shocking to experience the  “ageism”  present here, in a part of the world where the concept of veneration of age and experience has, over the years, been presented as endemic within the various cultures.  The specific example of a law that requires all faculty and staff at public universities to retire at 60 is so patently counterproductive to a society as to strain credulity.  But, no one blinks an eye about this policy, a policy that flies in the face of utilizing wisdom – that is, the gathered benefit of living long enough to have gained training and experience and then the ability to put that into a context that benefits those being taught.  I find it just amazing that this policy and attendant attitude is present in a country such as Thailand.  I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the deliberations about this law were taking place.   \n\nEducation is unique in its requirements as to the need for both  artistic (teachers are performers) and scientific (teachers must know what they are talking about) abilities.  Experience is, within this context, irreplaceably valuable.  Thus, when combining the philosophy of cheaper is better with a diminished appreciation for potential wisdom, Thailand is getting the short term hit of a lot of teaching but they are thereby missing the true value of a real education.

Isnt pride in where you are from an inate feeling that probably has some social bonding mechanism that aids survival at a more primevial level?  I would also argue that nationalism is a negative phrase implying some kind of desire for dominiation of non-nationals, which is unlikely to be the case here.

Do you understand Thai well enough to really know the subtleties of the language to truly know how the speaker feels?  Maybe what you percieve is a desperation not to lose face, after all isn\'t that what Thais are infuriatingly famous for?  And if they dont want to face, this implies there is something wrong to make them lose face. Knowing something is wrong or not perfect would surely imply Thais dont feel they are perfect, they simply do not want to be hurt by showing they are not perfect.  Remember what you see on the surface does not necessarily reflect what is felt inside.  Maybe you are confusing preserving self pride with facist tendancies.\n\nYou claim you have never had a satisfactory answer to your question about what objective facts give Thais the right to feel so proud?

They are also remarkably unconvincing: \n\n“Can you name another country on this planet where people are not nationalistic?”\n\nIn my letter, I never asserted or implied that there were any countries on Earth that weren’t nationalistic to one degree or another. Your question is therefore irrelevant.\n\n“Isnt pride in where you are from an inate feeling that probably has some social bonding mechanism that aids survival at a more primevial level?”\n\nYes, nationalism can be conceptualized as an outgrowth of tribalism and other phenomena existing at a ‘primevial’ [sic] level of social organization.\n\n“I would also argue that nationalism is a negative phrase implying some kind of desire for dominiation of non-nationals, which is unlikely to be the case here.”\n\nWhat are you basing your argument on? If you’ve read anything about nationalism, you’d know that it doesn’t necessitate a desire for or policy of domination over groups outside the nation-state. Even if it did, you still betray your ignorance of Thai history in your statement. Forgive me for quoting at length:\n\n“Nominalistic policy raised the spectre of irredentism by suggesting that Thai people subject to colonial authorities in Burma and Indochina should become Thai citizens – and thus, implicitly, ‘free’. The patent inspiration behind the vision of a ‘greater Thai empire’ (maha anachak thai) that should ideally incorporate the Shan territories, Laos and western Cambodia was Deutschland as the homeland of peoples of Germanic stock living in Germany as well as Austria and Poland. To promote irredentism, the Ministry of Defence and the Royal Survey Department printed and distributed to schools and barracks historical maps that highlighted the territorial losses suffered at the hands of the British and the French, while the pseudo-scientific racial categories were manipulated to demonstrate the ethnic commonality of the Thais with the Lao and the Shans.\n\n[…] Luang Wichit, acting as the government’s spokesman, asserted: ‘This territory [the Shan territories, Laos and western Cambodia] really belongs to us. It is not a colony, it is not a foreign territory; it is a living place for Thai people of Thai blood’. In January 1941 rhetoric was turned into action when the Thai army seized the western Cambodian provinces…In May 1942, after declaring war on the Allies, Thailand also annexed allegedly lost territory in the Shan States across the border with British Burma. All territories were returned at the end of the war.” – Peleggi, Maurizio. (2007). Thailand: The worldly kingdom, p. 123.\n\nIt’s simply not the case that Thailand has never invaded its neighbors and attempted to subjugate them. If you choose to believe the Thai propaganda of the time claiming that these invasions were carried out in the name of ‘freedom’ and ‘liberation’, that’s your choice. In any case, your statement is invalid.\n\n“I find it ironic that an American is writing this attempt to discredit Thai pride with something more sinister, when America is supposed to be the beacon of freedom and Americans are urged to believe in themselves, which they certainly do.”\n\nI addressed the issue of American nationalism and the attempts by educators and others in that country to cultivate so-called ‘patriotic values’ in my first letter. Perhaps you could try reading it again to help clarify things for you.\n\n“Second question, do you really understand Thai culture well enough to be able to state quite categorically that what you perceive is nationalism and the belief of Thais in the perfection of their people?”\n\nMaybe not - I must thank you, though. A part of me really does miss the \"do you really understand Thai culture?\" and other such mantras I used to hear on a daily basis in Thailand. \n\nDo you understand Thai well enough to really know the subtleties of the language to truly know how the speaker feels?\n\nNo, but I don’t understand German, Italian, or Spanish all that well either.\n\nMaybe what you percieve is a desperation not to lose face, after all isn’t that what Thais are infuriatingly famous for?\n\nYes, I suppose it is.\n\n“Remember what you see on the surface does not necessarily reflect what is felt inside.”\n\nIf you’re referring to a sizable segment of the Thai populous, then yes, I concur.\n\n“Maybe you are confusing preserving self pride with facist tendancies”\n\nI never used the word ‘fascist’ in my letter - you did in yours.\n\n“You claim you have never had a satisfactory answer to your question about what objective facts give Thais the right to feel so proud?  Well what are you criteria for assessment”\n\nThat doesn’t answer my original question.\n\n“…all the things you Americans have to thank us Europeans for”\n\nAnd we are very thankful. As I recall, there a quite a few things ‘you Europeans’ have to thank ‘us Americans’ for as well, but in order for you to ‘save face’, I’ll refrain from mentioning them.\n\n“As for having no substance, what about the price of a McDonald’s hamburger, there is somethiing that truly has no right to it’s belief in it’s value of over a dollar, when it is worth 4 cents at best.”\n\nI’m sorry, but I neither eat McDonald’s nor do I understand the point of this sentence.\n\nPhil / ajarn.com - thank you for the contribution.

We\'ve seen it all before, well in the UK its been happening for hundreds of years, first the Irish, then followed by the list of commonwealth nationals making their way to our Septic Isle.\nIn truth we are here in Thailand for whatever reasons are important to us, however this is their country and we are the guests, so its up to us to fit in with their life, rules and culture regardless of how strange difficult or hard to stomach we may feel. Of course that does not mean we have to accept or even agree or understand some aspects of life we may find unacceptable, and sure we can and should raise these issues. Whilst people are different, in many ways, I like many have had some good experiences here and some not so good, but that is the life of someone in foreign shores, sadly we often learn by our mistakes. Even though I am lucky enough to have travelled worldwide for many years every country has its hang-ups and issues, Thailand is no different to that.\n\nSure when I first arrived I went a little off the rails, living life to the full so to speak, but after a while and a wasted few pounds later, plus with the help of a wonderful local woman, life has settled down to be rather good. As we know not all Thais are alike and neither are us expats, there are good and bad in all of all. I think I have found a reasonable life, I work and earn a fair salary, nothing amazing, but it gives me a fair standard of living, I enjoy my job, teaching a variety of students, my day is varied and stimulating, then I go home to someone who is actually please to see me.  I fit in with her family and take an active role within it. I can\'t say its always been easy, but over time your do earn respect if you make the effort and we are the visitors so really we must make the first step.\n\nI now look at my lot and say, could and would I be better off back back in the UK, on a higher salary and work load, would I be happy? The fact of the matter is no, I think everything considered my life here offers me more, a good circle of Thai and English speaking friends, a caring partner, a family that accept me and actually take an interest in me, and not as a walking ATM. I have enough money to live in a reasonable home which both of us work to keep and improve, then there is some free time to relax and enjoy. Yes I do miss some things from home and that is only natural, but I think I have found many more new things to take their place. We all know things can change from one day to the next, and at times we all get let down and messed about, that happens everywhere and its always hurts and causes discomfort. Life is always about learning and pushing boundaries, but now I leave the pushing bit to the students I teach.',1,'2010-11-12 01:45:43','','2010-11-12 01:45:43','2010-11-12 16:04:44'),(2917,'A land that time has thankfully made me forget','a-land-that-time-has-thankfully-made-me-forget','Ian','For those of you who have not ventured back to the place of your roots, can I just say don\'t bother, you are far better off where you are.

I think I\'m better off in Thailand by close to £8k, but that\'s just by not driving at all.\n\nI\'m depressed by the lowering of standards.... social ones that is. I can walk in my local district in Bangkok and enjoy a night out, maybe the odd taxi or motorbike could come alarmingly close, or the pack of dogs sniffing out something, but I can sit in a bar, restaurant or a place to eat without having to face the low life of town or city situations where some drunken underclass wants to beat my brains out because I looked at them or even asked that that showing of their privates in public is not quite a good ideal when contemplating a supper, and that\'s just the women.\n\nWe all have our views on Thai police, but you know the score.

I can earn so much more in the UK, but its not just about money.... quality of life is far more important. I don\'t doubt it can be tough here in Thailand and we are facing the same issues that immigrants face in UK and Europe, but trust me, its better to be part of the future, molding its people, and building a life, than it is to be in a nation that has deep social, economic, trust and truth issues, which is on freefall, because its still supporting the banks which have ravaged society for everything they can get.\n\nIn truth I weep for my homeland, its riddled like a cancer... the same sort which took my father 3 years ago and the health service paid lip service to him and did very little to make his last months comfortable.

If the teacher refuses to give the exam until the student passes, the foreigner teacher is deemed incompetent and terminated.','In response to Ell Tee’s letter “Why so bitter?” Ajarn Postbox (October 29, 2010)\nI believe the writer is confusing what he perceives is bitterness and culture shock, with the frustrations of teaching Thai students. I also have taught in several countries including my home country, America and in my opinion, Thais are by far the most difficult to teach. The difference between other countries and Thailand is yes, partly the culture, but there are many more factors that also play a role in the obvious frustrations. In my opinion, the worst culprit has to be the MOE and their policies. \n\nThe MOE states they want students to learn English, but the facts do not support their rhetoric. As I wrote in my letter “unteaching what Thai teachers have taught” dated July 17, 2010, just about anything and everything you can think of comes before education. Therefore, we get no support from the MOE or the schools because it obviously isn’t important that the students learn for the reasons I stated in my letter, but they try to make it appear as if they are. We get no support from the parents either because the majority do not speak English, so they can’t help their children learn. At times, we’re not even supplied with books and yet, we’re expected to teach the student’s English. The MOE mandates  a curriculum that is based on an English speaking countries curriculum for native speakers that is impossible to meet. But of course they expect improved test scores and satisfactory results.\n\nThey supply a minimal amount of funds for the program and the families are expected to pay the rest. The money that the families have to contribute, many need to spend on food. But, they give it so their child can get into an English Program. At least THEY understand the importance of learning English. The schools English Program and English Club are merely a farce because it is taught by teachers that can’t speak English correctly themselves. Or if they do attempt to speak English, much of the time it is incoherent or “pigeon” English. The school will buy a few books for the English Program and the rest of what they need, they will copy (to save money), and hire native speaker(s) to indicate to the parents their children are being taught by a native speaker(s) so they will give more money. But, in reality many times the native speaker doesn’t have to even participate in the English Club and teaches only a few of the students. The Thai “English” teachers teach the rest and over see the English Club. Yes, many of the ones that can’t even speak English. As with most things in Thailand, it doesn’t have to work, it just has to look like it does.\n\nThe ones that benefit from the English program are the directors of the respective schools. The money the school generates for the English Program is astronomical. Do the math at any school. They have discovered a profitable “cash cow” and sell it vigorously. \n\nThe MOE has teachers teaching English that can’t speak a coherent sentence and some can’t even speak at all, yet they give them awards and raises for doing a good job. Even the ones that I personally have seen stand in the hall and talk on their mobile phones for the whole 50 minute class, multiple times. That is; if they even come to class on time. Which is rare at every government school I have worked at.\n\nThe native speaker at a government school typically has a class of 40 to 60 students. They are there because the parents want them to be. So, 20 minutes of the class is spent taking mobile phones, stopping fights, etc. Once the students are calmed down and the attendance is called, the teacher has about 30 minutes of actual teaching time. One day a week for 30 minutes. Unless, the teacher before you kept the students overtime to clean his/her room  (another priority before education) and then they may not show up at all.    \n\nHow can anyone in their right mind expect a student to learn? There is no discipline policy. Students aren’t made to be accountable for skipping class or being tardy, and a no fail policy. But, there IS a hair and dress policy. Which in my opinion is utter bull----. Without these policies, there is no incentive for the students to do anything. And if they skip, no one will check to find out why they missed a class and they will still pass. The students are well aware of this.\n\nWhen a student inevitably fails the semester final exam and/or has poor grades, the foreign teacher is instructed to dumb down the exam and let the student retake it so he/she will get a passing grade or retake it several times if necessary. If the teacher refuses to give the exam until the student passes, the foreigner teacher is deemed incompetent and terminated. The student’s homeroom teacher will adjust the student’s scores to get a passing grade. So, the homeroom teacher and the program director will appear to be doing a good job; on paper anyway. Because their career depends on it. \n\nAt the end of the semester, the program director will get upset because test scores are low. They get upset because her bonus and advancing in their career depends on good scores. Certainly not because they care about the students learning English. The foreign teachers are blamed, called lazy, inefficient, or a backpacker.\n\nThe MOE blames us foreign teachers for their mistakes. In reality, the policies that are in place are their fault. But of course they would never admit their policies need to be rewritten or they are wrong. That would show them losing face and we all know, that is not their “culture”.\n\nIt is my belief that most teachers come here with the illusion and will of teaching students that want to learn and honestly try to do a good job. But, after a while the crusty, thick skinned teachers (myself included) that has taught here for a number of years, learns we can’t change the policies or make the students learn that do not want to learn. So, we teach the few that want to learn and the others of course we try, but inevitably we will fail. They will pass and finish school and most likely do as many of their parents have done and scratch out a living the best they can with the knowledge of a 3rd grader after finishing high school. That’s not bitterness or culture shock. That’s the facts.\n\nTo understand the frustrations or as the writer perceives as “bitterness and culture shock”, he should leave a country that supports and values education and come to teach here. Only then will he fully understand and realize the reality and frustrations of teaching in Amazing Thailand.',1,'2010-11-21 16:56:02','','2010-11-21 16:56:02','2010-11-22 08:08:03'),(3016,'Lazy Sunday afternoon.... are you joking?','lazy-sunday-afternoon-are-you-joking','Ian','I know why I am in Thailand and its not for the money.

I find it a great time to bounce those ideals and those thoughts on life, this time at home chilling, yes chilling in Thailand, well excuse the pun. Thailand is chilled in so many ways excluding what we all know as per the temperature. Oh I still need aircon, even in November and December, but what a lovely thought eh?\n\nI went for a swim this morning before breakfast, and then dried off soaking up some winter sun before ice cold milk, corn flakes then tea. A little conversation with some local friends, then it was time to get ready to support the girlfriend and her visit to her temple. Did I have to go?... well no, but is that not the point of a relationship supporting ones significant other? Look I\'m no saint and you would be hard pressed to get me in church back in \"Old Blighty\" at this time of year... actually any time of year. However it was important to her and she wanted me there with her.\n\nI can\'t say it was the most fun filled day of my life, and the thought of a numb bum. dead legs, then hours of chanting is hardly what I would call a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, actually a rabid class of hyper active 14 years old had some appeal! However I did the honoured thing for about 2 hours before my legs said to me I had to walk before I lost the will to live, so I just spent the following couple of hours walking, watching, laughing to myself then waiting some more. During these hours I mulled the idea of what would I have done at home? \n\nWell... my septic Isle is rather cold, wind swept with a touch of white rain, sorry I mean snow, so I guess I\'d have been wrapped up warm in some pigeon box called home looking at more school work, or even getting on with the household chores, we all remember those don\'t we? watching tv, or as its called today the re-run of x- factor or some other soap...... Then again I could have ventured out and taken lunch at some resturant which has staff from some eastern European nation that has no idea of my culture or what my stomach calls a roast dinner, then if I am luck to have a native speaker, its amazing that they are not surly or can even be bothered to look at me inbetween text messages on their mobile phones.\n\nI know why I am in Thailand and its not for the money.

Sure I\'m looked at as a walking ATM, but this one does not open on Sundays or even most days of the week. I can proudly say I still have moths in my wallet and they are in no chance of being made homeless either. So after the long afternoon. being blasted at 6,000,000 watts, amps or decibels in fact the lack of noise polution control, I really needed some place to give the ears a rest.

','Our classrooms can be regarded as a factory where students from various backgrounds come and take the essence of the spoon fed experience.  This is where facts, information and theoretical knowledge have been passed on from generation unto generation of students to cultivate learning skills and knowledge necessary for their further studies at universities or colleges. \n\nIf I was to introduce myself, I would say that I am the silver spoon that facilitates the flow of knowledge to students who crave learning and creativity at the different educational stages of their lives. Over the years, I have seen the transition in the curriculum taught to students. For instance, it is becoming more of the trend in teaching that more visuals, music, and colorful worksheets are used in the classrooms to enhance the teaching and learning experience.  When I was in high school, the teaching styles that I was exposed to were great at that point in time, but I was not as fortunate in terms of experiencing the new teaching strategies available nowadays.  Computers were just being introduced into schools, so I did not benefit from the new advancement in learning.  \n\nI am sure, in the next generation, better ways of passing on knowledge will be designed and adopted. And even though the main concepts in knowledge may remain the same, the styles of presenting them would evolve.  Teaching through animation has become a huge success these days. Today, teachers are enjoying the teaching profession because of the advancement of computer technology and the Internet. And like a buffet, teachers today can pick and choose teaching techniques and information that can enhance their teaching.  Teachers can utilize many teaching tools, and for students of each level, appropriate educational worksheets to facilitate their learning. \n\nIt does not matter where a student comes from; education has become a necessity practically for everyone.  There are many Bilingual, International, Public, Private Schools and Language Centers in Thailand in which the educational goals are equivalent.  Parents enroll their children in Bilingual Schools so that their kids can learn to be fluent both in English and Thai.  Many English Teaching programs have been introduced to many Bilingual Schools, and the number of native speaking teachers in these schools has also jumped significantly over the years.  Whereas International schools are relegated the responsibility of teaching the English language to children, parents have to supplement, either by themselves or by private tutorial, the teaching of Thai so that children do not to lose their Thai connections.   In the teaching of writing, reading, speaking and listening of English, there is a need to strike a balance. Thus, parents must consider carefully where to enroll their children.  As a child grows, the parents should also discuss subjects, courses and interests with him or her.  The various Thai-language programs taught at international schools are by themselves lacking.  \n\nLanguage centers have adequate resources and reliable teachers to assist in developing lesson plans, newsletters, worksheets and activities for students to gain up-to-date facts.   The spoon feeding technique has not completely disappeared as some students are still too used to this outdated teaching technique. This could occur when teachers give in too easily when they see their students struggle in their studies. One way to curtail spoon-feeding teaching is for teachers to put students into groups and have other students help their classmates to increase their learning efficiency. In this way students can always seek help from their teachers when necessary.  Sometimes, it is the students who give up too easily and are not motivated enough with certain subjects, so they prefer the traditional way of the teacher giving them all the answers.  Despite the spoon feeding technique remaining in many schools and centers, teachers do adopt new approaches, such as role playing or the use of visuals to accommodate a more dynamic learning environment. \n\nHaving taught for over five years, I would say that teaching has become “edutainment” where students are learning to recognize the requirements of top local and international universities.  I love the books that are used to teach English. I often encouraged my students to at least become friends with them.  Studying for IGCSE’s, IB, or the SATs, IELTS and IBT-TOEFL will need strong dedication from students. Most importantly, the students’ interests need to be nurtured. In short they must learn to like the subjects they are studying in.  As a result, students would have the motivation to pursue studying in the subjects successfully. Teaching and learning have a love – hate relationship which has important implications on the outcome since it is natural for students to feel disheartened with courses they find difficult.    \n\nStress and despair faced by students have become common problems.  But the rapport between teachers and students can ease the problems and help them accomplish their goals in their studies.  New types of lesson plans, such as, Brainology, and teaching software, such as Yenka.com, Seussville.com, Journeyed.com, etc., are available, and all propagate creative lesson plans, worksheets and useful information.  We can utilize them in our learning.\nIn conclusion, I have no regrets in my profession as a teacher. To me “Teaching and learning has been a wonderful spoon feeding journey of knowledge for decades, and I expect it will certainly go on, as knowledge will be passed on incessantly.  Bangkok City has been a great place to teach and the Thai society is open and provides new development to foster the inquisitive Thai minds in achieving educational standards that are on par with the world.”  \n',1,'2010-12-06 21:45:38','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb1.jpg','2010-12-06 21:45:38','2010-12-07 11:11:39'),(3638,'Happy New Year.......

Sorry I\'m old school, the new year starts the moment Big Ben gives us it first chime.','I hate this time of year... have done now for a long time. I\'ve found it false, a fraud and downright lie. Whenever has the world changed just because December 31st becomes January 1st? This year all due to circumstances beyond my control I stayed in Bangkok for the festive period, normally I would escape ( for want of a better word) back to the UK, to a British winter and see family and friends. However the snow in Northern Europe and the British continued failure to be able to deal with anything that is not in the expected normal weather patten, put all my best laid plans down the drain.\n\nMy flight was due to leave on the 21st, but already flights for the proceeding two day had been cancelled and the chances of mine arriving at LHR ( Hearthrow, London) were slightly less on witnessing the alledged second coming of Jesus, so I took it upon myself to contact both the airline and travel agent well in advance. My proposal was simple, why not postpone my travel to a more suitable time? Simple don\'t you think?.... Well no....I thought better to suffer and submit to a Bangkok Christmas and New Year, than to be left in limbo, or at some netrual airport without a clue when a flight might complete my travel plans.\n\nThe airline ( no names) were amazed that I could understand there was a problem and were doing their best to understand, but still wanted to channel me down the cancellation route! The travel agent offered an email contact and a single phone number to call ( at some hellish call rate) and obviously could , would and were not capable of answering for at least 5 hours and I\'d expect close to £200 quid later a simple message of \" We are experencing a larger than expected demand and please try later\".... aka Island Volcano syndrome, which has still yet to be resolved!\n\nIn short I sent both agent and airline an email 2 days before my due travel date. The airline responded within a few hours, wanting all the normal details and then adding they will nedd to talk to my travel agent of booking for terms and conditions. The travel agents.... well I got a reply from them 2 days after I was due to fly!... this is a world wide organisation!!!\n\nThus I was here in Thailand over the festive period for the first time. I am very synical of the full on in your face sell me any thing festive from the end of October onwards as its now become in many countries. I must be a founder member of keep Christmas in December, but still out here it is a little bit less in your face than it would be in the West, but lets not let a selling opportunity be missed by an economy that is looking to hike up its flogging of anything in its drive to enter the next level in the league of nations.\n\nI quite enjoyed the experience, much less ads on tv, radio, mail, email and any other form of flogging media, it was much more low key ( to my delight) though there were a few bold sales persons willing to sell me their idea of Christmas at many a shopping mail, which were simple and easy to laugh off.\n\nI purchased a little tree ( with lights) and few decorations, with lights for the outside and a smattering of other Christmas jingle jangle, all very much to my Thai partner who realy seemed to enjoy the glitz of the period. Even my suggestion of midnight mass on the 24th was accepted with a smile, and to be fair she loved the whole package, an exchange of gifts, carols, music, dinner the package.... Bloody hell us farangs have culture as well!!!!\n\nSo Christmas came and went, then on to New Year, which was going to be at my partners home ground, so to speak. The x hours drive, with everyone to do a Thai get together, ok I was settled to do this and had no problem with it. Then 2 days before, the phone rings and can I fit in some emergency work?... I discussd this with my partner, we talked about the whole thing, but surprising or maybe not, the salary offered for me to work was considered far more important than a family get together..... let me take a step back.... I know money talks at times, but I have become disapointed in many Thai\'s love of the money issue above everything else, sadly I fear they will get burnt on the love of money trip, just like us westerners have done in the past. So with it agreed that I will work, the girlfriend , now wishes to go to her temple for a few days worship.......... I consider myself a supportive partner,and fully accepted her wishes, to even help support the trip and see her of at Victory Monument on Friday am.\n\nShe departs Friday am with some of her family, and I now set my plans for the weekend. Bangkok is quiet... actually very quiet, I like it!! In short I spend time with old friends, we see the weekend and New Year in in a social and relaxed manner, I travel all over Bangkok with ease and a breeze, enjoy a very social Dec 31st and after letting off a bit of steam ( with all the correct respect), I make it back home at 5am New Years day, a little worse for wear, but still in charge of all my faculties.\n\nMy pet hate was everyone wishing me a happy new near, hours before the clock made it to midnight... sorry I\'m old school, the new years starts the moment Big Ben gives us it first chime. Then its tribute to those lost to us and those whom are away elsewhere, doing there own thing.

Several media statements by the Thai government have said that they wish to continue to make bold steps forward, weed out the non qualified, lazy, poor, stupid and useless teachers.....

I can perform magic acts, create a show and maybe even leave a class breathless.

I don\'t and will not pass every student, and if it costs me my job, who cares? I\'m not lowering my standards for anyone! We need basic acceptance on both sides.... good qualified teachers for one, but also lets get students mind set right to learn, meaning that they will have to do work on a regular basis to get a pass. What really hurts from a teachers view is I can see some very bright students, who are being held back by social ideals.\n\nI can teach a class at 8.20am of which less than 80% have had a breakfast! Coming in to a classroom where many students want to sleep, because they either got up late ( parents responsibility) failed to eat breakfast ( parents responsibility) and just want us teachers to mold a genius!.... time to get real folks.

Any organisation that asks for a demo lesson or class should be viewed with suspicion. There is the odd exception and I mean odd, but as a rule of thumb, if you can provide all of the above, then that should be enough. Any half-decent employer will check out all that you provided and this actually gives me reassurance that they know what they want or even what they are doing. I always feel pleased when one of my references calls me and says “we had a call from such and such asking for a reference about you, and we gave it both over the telephone and in writing”\n\nBut wait.

Students and collegues pick up on this and often, no-doubt unfairly so as regards well qualified, experienced older teachers, this leads to the hiring manager not wanting to make the same “mistake” twice. This is like any hiring situation - it’s risk management and the perception of risk is often rooted in past experiences, whether the fundamentals upon which this belief system is underpinned by are real or imagined.\n\nLet’s also remember that it’s all very well comparing a 20-year old layabout to a 50-year old with a degree in education but I also encountered a lot of 50-year olds without a degree in education - or a valid TEFL qualification for that matter. Indeed, I remember one such 50-year old criticising me to my colleagues behind my back because I had chosen to go and get my CELTA. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the older teachers saw less value in professional development and had a track record that struggled to point to any - afterall, they are native speakers - what possible benefit could they have gotten from a TEFL course? Also, a lot of older teachers wouldn’t teach if they could get away with it. This, I find is less pronounced in younger teachers, who are still enjoying finding their way in life and collecting experiences - not a bad thing as long as they are doing so in a way that facilitates their learners’ development.\n\nI also encountered seasoned teachers but their enthusiam had gone or they were wanting to slow down. Trouble is, your audience doesn’t get old with you - it rejuvenates on an annual basis and is always going to be 10 years old or whatever age group you teach. So whilst that combination of qualified, incredibly experienced and enthusiastic does exist - it is less common than you might think.\n',1,'2011-02-13 18:03:36','storage/legacy/files/postbox/magnifying.gif','2011-02-13 18:03:36','2011-02-14 08:08:37'),(4361,'Nothing but misinformation','nothing-but-misinformation','Mr T','I\'m finding out that almost everything in Thailand\'s TEFL industry is a big fat lie.','Okay. Ajarn. I followed your advice. I saved some money, packed all my certificates, transcripts, police criminal record check and impeccable work references, and headed to Thailand to work as a TEFL teacher. I thought I had everything covered, except just one thing. Nobody actually tells you the truth here. Nobody. I\'m actually quite impressed by the amount of total shit spoken by institutions. I signed up to do a TEFL course in November. I was assured by the chap who interviewed me before I even left London that I would \"have a full time job and permit within about 3 weeks.\" Okay, it\'s not their responsibility to find me work, they provided an excellent teaching course and the instructors could not be faulted. \n\nHowever, The fact that they must have known that NO schools or institutions actually hire people full-time until at least March means they were proactive in offering us misleading information simply to fill their November course placements. That\'s £1000 well spent! As a result of this misinformation those of us remaining in Bangkok following the course have wasted hours and hours of our time, and thousands of baht of our money looking for jobs that are simply not there. My advice. Just ignore the advice completely when training providers inform you that it is easy to find work in Thailand - and simply sign up for the February course instead.\n\nPart two of my whinge. Many teachers inform us on this site to steer clear of agencies. Um, not too sure whether or not you\'ve had a chance to check the vacancies on your website yet, but they are all linked to agencies. ( yes, even the ones that list the contact as the name of a school!) Simple fact being that you pretty much don\'t get to work in Thai state schools unless you go through an agency.  Just try it. You will be referred to an agency and the school will inform you they have nothing to do with the hiring of foreign teachers. I know, because it\'s happened to me pretty much every job I have applied for. The upshot is - 3 months after successfully completing my TEFL course. I am still working part-time for agencies and schools - getting an excellent reputation by the way - my permit is about to run out, and every job I apply for is another agency apologising for not being able to offer full time work. Simple fact is, it\'s really hard to get a decent job here. Don\'t listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.\n\nPhil says - thank you for your letter to the ajarn postbox. It\'s a shame that you couldn\'t put your name to it but never mind. Having read your letter twice, I\'m convinced it\'s written out of anger rather than by someone who has a full grasp of the facts. After all, you\'ve only been here a matter of a few months. It would be impossible to become an expert on the Thailand TEFL scene in such a short time. Incidentally, you have been working here and applying for jobs during what is undoubtedly the quietest period of the year. Very few schools hire in December and January. And that is also written on ajarn.com and something it seems you failed to read and take on board.\n\nI deleted the part of your letter where you claim that the TEFL course certificate you obtained is hardly recognised by any of the schools in Thailand. In my opinion (and that of many others) the TEFL certificate you obtained is probably the most recognisable and widely-accepted certificate in the world. To say it\'s hardly recognised by any schools here is completely inaccurate. And how many schools have you applied to and actually got an opinion of whether they value the certificate or not? Fifty? Hundred? Because that\'s how many you need to survey before you are able to make such a bold statement.

Since then I have been very cautious about my work contract.\n','I know a group of teachers last year that tried to take a well known private school to court over various acts of blantant labour abuses. They fell like rocks when a well known law firm (which also wrote the law book we were using to find information) told them the law they published did not apply to us. Since then I have been very cautious about my work contract.\n\nI have been at one school now for a year and a half and have been told that I would be offered a new contract within the month. During a conversation about the changes in the contract which are minor. I ask how that applied to a spacific right. It was about giving a months notice to resign and the principal could reject it. If you left you would pay month months pay for damages and lose all bonuses etc....Now I know they can not do that because of the pay cycle but it is in the contract for a teacher at this private school. They want 90 days to allow them to hire, advertise, and do paper work blah blah blah. O.k. in a way that makes sense. They even tell you at least six months in advance you will not be rehired. So fair is fair.\n\nThe surprising thing I was told (and the reason for this writing), is the Human Resource Director who is very knowledgable said, \"This is only a work agreement but you have a license from the Government of Thailand as recognition you are a professional teacher. That means we are bound by the Thai Labor Laws and the MOE Profession Teachers Labour Law. We must use them combined for you if you have a license. If you do not we do not have to use the law. I immediately began to think that foreigners can not hold a government position by law. So how can we be viewed as a equal to a government employee with rights guaranteed because we hold a license from the government? That sounds confusing I know. Especially, when the Thai teachers are also exempt from the law at a private school. (However, the Thai teachers have a different contract at most schools anyway.)\n\nThinking this was bull I asked her if I could see it and behold she had it. Quite plainly it said, \"Profession Teacher Labour Laws\" with Thai Ministry of Labour, MOE, Counsel of Teachers, etc.....all over it. She let me thumb through it and I did notice specific things like 30 days sick leave, 30 day notice to resign, professional development and payments for various situations. I admit I did not get a chance to absorb much as it was a fast thumb through. This book is not allowed out of the office.  Does anyone know where it would be available as I can not find it on the web by the name I have?\n\nAlso, Attached in the front was a PDF file that caught my attention. Apparently in 200? (forgot the date, 2006 I think??) a revision endorsed by the king amended the Labour Protection act and specifically said all teachers and principals were covered by the same laws as everyone else. All persons working in Thailand were to be covered. I am home now and I appologize for not giving the correct title here. This I did look up. I have it at work and will post where to get it later. Note: In this amendment there is a article that does mention something that rings of the exception to teachers but it is very ambiquous and not forcefully stated as in the act of 2551 (1998). This makes me think that many of the clauses and conditions in the contract are there because we don\'t know about the laws and this protects literally 100% the school against a teacher that knows nothing about rights. Most foreigners do not rock the boat and do very well teaching and rights are not a big issue but when it does become an issue it is usually at the worst time. So you need to know just where you stand if you need to.\n\nI am not wanting to ignite the rights of teachers again as it was a very emotional and stressing experience but it is important to know what is out there. Also, the law firm we used could also be working for the school we tried to address and did not want to go against them. What this means is the information is out there but as foreigners we are placed in a gauntlet at the very bottom of hell and told if we can find the map we are free to leave. This is why some teachers win and some lose.\n\nAs ajarn.com is a very well known and connected/established web site and/or company I am sure they have reputable and experienced legal staff or mimimumly competent representation. In addition, it confuses me as if this is the case and so many issues in this area come up constantly, why is there not a site, link or available access to finding these PDF, legal postings, etc...... for us to see. This is not for commentary of complaining but a directory that much like a search engine will direct you to the page that you can read and know it exist not just a mythical creature of knowledge.

I know that the odd friend or two will be looking for something new, either by choice or by necessity and there is always that final option of going back from where we came. So now the jobs are appearing thick and fast, I take a inquisitive view on what\'s being offered, not because I want to move, but more to see what is being offered and where. Much will depend on your own personal circumstances,  like I said, I like my flexability and variety with my life, but there are still some very good oppertunities out here. \n\nFirstly though, please don\'t consider money as everything, a job is a package deal. Yes its nice to earn as much as you can, but there are some real gems where the pay is maybe not Premier League. I have always found that who I work with and the enviroment are the real deal and its worth knowing that the school will support you. My only bit of firm advice is, don\'t travel to far to and from work, unless you\'re a travel junkie, even with a good road, just remember the season\'s change here as well, wet and dry Bangkok/ Thailand are very different places.\n\nLittle things are important. Have a retreat somewhere where you can just be you, a place for some peace and clear thought, something from home to lift your spirits, an emergency supply of favorite food (chocolate for women) and a very good friend, sharing your woes with that friend will reduce your stress.\n\nAbove everything else, do try and keep your sense of humor. There will be good days and bad, times when you think its not worth it and you\'ve been burnt in the pocket or in other ways. Life is different here, it will always be different here.

I was interested in applying for the job but I did not email my resume to them. Instead I applied in person, and got the job, although on a \"non-native English speaker\" wage. I am still working in the same school, but now I wish to find a new school that can hire and pay me based on my skills rather than my race.\n\nI prefer to apply in person than through email because I am a Filipino. I’m a non-native speaker of English (NNES). Whenever I go to the jobs section of this website, I am saddened (and somewhat irked) by the fact that most of the ads posted are for native English speakers. That makes the job ads service here \"somewhat\" helpful for people \"like\" me. Just because I am not Caucasian doesn\'t mean I am not qualified. For me, that is racism in its purest form.\n\nI landed the job not because I was lucky, but because I have the skills. And my English is even better than some native English speakers (I can spell words correctly without using MS Word\'s spell checker). I can speak in neutral or American accents even though I haven\'t set foot in the US. My employer doesn\'t complain about the way I work. He even seems happy with the results I produce (else he wouldn\'t say \"excellent\" all the time). So did the job I applied for two years ago really require an NES? No!\n\nOkay well, some would say they need a NES because it helps the school get more students to enroll, because that is the demand of Thai parents. I think that\'s plain BS. Why not hire a Caucasian model instead of a teacher? I\'m sure Thai parents won\'t really think that way after they see the results, right? I even heard there was an American (born and raised) who had a hard time looking for work as a teacher just because he looked too \"Asian.\"\n\nYes, there may also be a lot of non-native English speakers who do not have the skills I have. I even agree that some of my Filipino compatriots pronounce \"V\'s\" with \"B\'s,\" or the have the familiar Filipino accent and wrong grammar. But those traits do not generalize all Filipinos who are looking for work here in Thailand, nor people of other races who are also non-native English speakers. \n\nSo this letter is for employers who post their job ads here on Ajarn.com. I hope that you will consider \"some\" non-native English speakers. Changing \"NES only\" to \"NES preferred\" can make the ad more sensitive to NNES like me. That way I would be happy to email my resume first and make use of Ajarn.com.\n\nYou see, we the skilled NNES, won\'t send you our resumes if you are looking for \"NES only\" You will only get emails from the less skilled NNES who don\'t understand what \"NES only\" means. You might end up hiring someone less capable of the job and regret not hiring us. Well, in the first place we won\'t get the chance to be heard and hired because you put \"NES Only.\"\n\nAnd another thing, once you hire a skilled non-native English speaker, offer the wage as you posted it on Ajarn.com. Setting a lower wage for us during the interview is demeaning and very racist. And we really don\'t like surprises like that. We are also human beings and also foreigners in this country. We also get duped once in a while because we speak Thai \"nit-noi.\" You will get your money\'s worth with a skilled NNES more than a good looking Caucasian NES.

I am also a native English speaker with a Bachelor’s Degree and TESOL certificate. I have been called in for several interviews to only be accused of lying about being a native speaker and about being a real American. My partial Asian feature seals my fate the minute I walk through the door. It doesn’t matter that I have all of my original documents such as my American birth certificate, US passport, and American college degree. The only thing they see is that I don’t appear to be their textbook definition of being a native speaker of English - which is someone 100% white.

Now, whether or not native speaker is used to mean we do not want black or Asian teachers is another story. \n\nYes, I know and every one else with experience here knows that schools do not generally want Asian or black teachers. This is because the students will feel like they\'ve been lied to by the school when they were told that a NES would be teaching them. From a business stand point, you give your customers what they want. What the students want is a handsome white man or woman to teach them. No, I think that\'s unjust, but I also feel it\'s very unjust that Hooters won\'t hire me as a waiter.  For those of you who don\'t know, Hooters is a large restaurant chain in America with attractive young females with large chests.  Men like to eat there, and drink beer, and chat with the waitresses.  I personally find it very sexist that they won\'t give me a job based solely on the fact that I\'m not a young sexy female.  \n\nIf you really want to get to the core of the issue, it\'s a religious one. But for those who live in the world today, you just have to accept the fact that businesses hire the people that their customers want them to hire. If you don\'t like it, then go to another company or country where things are just. For example, in America, no company would dare to ask for a photo with your resume. That would be begging for a lawsuit.  So it would be just as silly for Hooters to put in their job advert that all are welcome to apply, as it would be for a Thai school to say the same thing.',1,'2011-03-16 19:35:17','','2011-03-16 19:35:17','2011-03-17 10:10:18'),(4648,'Discrimination exists all over','discrimination-exists-all-over','Dan','Undoubtedly there is racial discrimination in hiring.

Comparing the hiring process of Hooters to a school in Thailand is not only illogical but also utterly tasteless. Yes, some schools are businesses, but some are also government schools. They don\'t need to market or advertise to get more students. There\'s no profit even if they hire a Hooters waitress as a teacher. You are probably forgetting that education is a basic human right, not a business. That is why there should be no discrimination when it comes to hiring teachers. Yes, I agree that native English speakers should be more \"preferred\" by schools to teach English, but as long as he/she has the proper teaching credentials and experience, not some dude who used to manage a Hooters franchise. So if there\'s no luck finding a reputable NES teacher, why not hire a competitive NNES teacher? \n\nAgain, if you put \"NES Only\" and not \"NES preferred\" then you are limiting yourself to handful of NES applicants, plus a large chunk of unqualified NNES who are too ignorant to understand \"NES Only.\" If you try changing it to \"NES Preferred\" then you will still get the same amount of NES applicants, same big chunk of ignorant NNES, but this time, with another handful of NNES but competitive enough to teach like a NES.\n\nBut will all those emails fill up your inbox? Yes they will. Would it consume your time to go through all of them? Yes it would, and you should. If your job is to choose the right candidate, then choose wisely by going through each and every resume. Why? Because it is the right thing to do.\n\nWhat is wrong is making a comparison between Hooters and Thai schools. Hooters require big chested ladies because they effectively capture the male market while schools hire teachers, NES or not, as long as you\'re an effective teacher. Students or parents may demand skin color, but they don\'t know how to run a school. A school with competitive NNES teachers can be more profitable in the long run than a school with NES teachers that are incompetent.\n\nIt may be silly for a Thai school not to place \"NES Only\" in their job ads, but education is not a silly thing, and if they really want their kids to be educated like the rest of the world, they should start learning how to look beyond skin color.',1,'2011-03-17 20:25:18','storage/legacy/files/postbox/hooters.gif','2011-03-17 20:25:18','2011-03-18 11:11:19'),(4661,'It\'s really up to you','its-really-up-to-you','Ian Bkk','What suits me as a teaching job, is very different from the next teacher.

A school is looking for a teacher who will improve the educational standard of its students and fit in with the cultural and social aspect of the place. A teacher is looking for..... well that\'s personal, so what is the problem?\n\nWe can all read what we want into a job advert, actually that\'s quite good marketing, get the maximum response and choose the best for the situation. However also we  teachers can also look and laugh at what we see posted on the jobs page. \n\nWhat suits me as a teaching job, is very different from the next teacher. We all have different needs. Whilst money is not the first thing I look at in a job ( I\'m lucky enough to have another income) there is a value I put on my work and time. For me facilities available, support from the school, the welcome I get when I arrive and how other teachers mix with each other, plus its important to know that the school will support you if there are ever any disruptive students. (I\'ve know teachers who have had students take a knife to them and the school did nothing about it) it might be an extreme, but just knowing that the school is there to help and support a teacher is very important. Some help with accommodation, others provide visas ,health insurance, transport assistance.... the list can be endless.\n\nIf you can get a class room assistant thats a bonus, and for one I\'d be willing to take a little less salary if it meant I had an assistant.

Look at advertising material from the British Council, the websites for schools in Western countries on the net, and even the most popular commercial EFL textbooks. Plenty of such faces feature there as well. Even if they are not white, they are still usually young and beautiful. It is standard practice because beauty appeals to the eye of the beholder, and because beauty thus sells. \n\nThere is surely the element too that these education-for-profit institutions care not for the actual quality of education they provide, or that it at least plays second fiddle to looking good. And look, particularly in Thailand, is still very much the state that society is in. If true substance counted for much there would have to be a major social upheaval – because their owners and operators probably do not know anything about what constitutes quality education (again, Thailand all over) They are fixated with getting bums on seats. So yeah, who would not want to complain about this. There is definitely injustice afoot. For sure, they would pass over someone who was a native-born citizen of an English speaking country and an excellent teacher on the grounds of their appearance, in much the same way as they are going to rob mums and dads blind, and milk kids like cows by opening candy shops at the front of the school.\n\nOn the other hand, the law of averages dictates that there is some advantage in going for the young white person. Which is something we do not hear a lot about. Scientific enlightenment – some famous scientific wit, I cannot recall who, called enlightenment, or, as Jared Diamond puts it, ‘the shift from speculation to rationalisation’, that ‘little thing that happened a couple of hundred years ago that a lot of people have not heard much about’, or words to that effect, 55 - has brought about profound change in Western society, not least in terms of the quality of education. This change for the good, in terms of knowledge, at least, has accelerated since the advent of the information age. You pick white, and you pick young, and you are, if fathoming other indicators of teacher quality is beyond you, in a way maximising your chances of picking someone who is a native speaker of English who has a modern Western education. \n\nThis is surely what the parents of Thailand are thinking when they discriminate in this way. Not all the people who cry ‘racism’ and ‘ageism’ are being entirely reasonable themselves, are they, the cynic in me demands the concept be at least lent a little consideration. In regards to the ‘ageism’ thing in particular, yeah, the term was coined originally to describe how employable people can dip out on getting a job because of their age – but in all fairness to young people (and I am 40, if you wonder), does not discrimination on the basis of age for the most part work the other way in society? And is there not great injustice afoot when you think of all the people who were not life-long learners, and who are representative of pre-information age and far more ignorant times – who are steeped in the mores of more primitive states of society – who stand over young, well educated people, and perpetually find fault with them to bolster their own very, very false feelings of superiority? As if it does not happen! It is a central pillar of primitive human society that ‘age is wisdom’…\n \nFinally here, there is the element too that Thai people are racist. Black is bad, to not possess the physiology of the ruling class is bad. The mould you were born in in many ways dictates your quality in society, rather than the nature of your intelligence (what you have learned). Again, they are in that state of society where to even consider the injustice of this is to ‘kid leuk’, or think deeply, and by association with this term in the Thai mind think too much, and be in need of a good cup of hemlock. For most people, of course, not all, just as it is in the West. They are light years away from actually creating and, more to the point, enforcing policy that is going to shake people out of their stupor. So this is definitely unfair as well.

And so often when I click a job posting to read more about it, that \"at least\" in the heading turns out to say \"around 30,000,\" or \"starts at 30-32,000,\" etc.  I interviewed last week with one of these schools hoping it was a typo. The guy offered me a contract at 30,000.

As my mother used to say, “I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate.” Of course we all form our opinions based on personal experience. Subsequently, my personal experiences have given me a somewhat different opinion than your own.  It does make me happy to hear that you can recall working as a teacher, and that you enjoyed such a rosy time of it. Like yourself, I can recall the “halcyon period” you refer to. However, I personally know of at least six good language schools that closed up shop in fear of these “nonsensical” rules when they were first implemented. How dare the Thai government expect the guests that they pay to teach their children should actually have to learn something about the culture of the students or, even worse, to pass an “impossible” competency test.\n\nHaving spouted my sarcastic rant, I would like to reiterate the main point of my original reply to Ronald. Namely that, supply and demand will always dictate the price of any product including labour. Of course any intelligent debate must have a basis in disagreement, and I do ever so enjoy educated criticism. Although you and I may “disagree completely” as to the reasons Phil, I’m sure you must admit that there are simply more candidates for teaching jobs now than in the past.

The fact, in my opinion, is that due to the rampant, government sponsored racism that exists in Thailand, practically any unqualified, white farang can get a job teaching English here while many competent and educated teachers of dark skinned races cannot. The tone of the majority of letters posted on your site would seem to bear this out. \n\nI would venture that, as myself, those of us still presently teaching English here in Thailand can think of current examples of this disparity. As well, I would go so far as to suggest that most of us have worked with, or know of, at least one holder of a “Khao San Road diploma” whom presently is teaching English here. This of course adds to that age-old market determiner of supply and demand, and is the point I was attempting to make. \n\nSurely you must agree Phil that it is “always dangerous” for any party to force their opinion on others, but even more so for one in an editorial position.

I further agree with Donald\'s point that we shouldn\'t shoot the messenger but instead we should take our complaints to the source. Perhaps if we as instructors went one step further and refused to apply for or accept these low paying jobs the advertisers would be forced to offer higher wages. But of course, therein lies the rub.

You bring up numerous points of contention that I feel must be addressed.\n\n1. You expound on how you, and several of your colleagues, are currently working in Issarn without degrees. You go on to state that, as we all know, in Thailand it is \"not what you know but who you know\". I\'m so glad you recognise that there is a corrupt system in this country, but I regret to inform you that you, and your friends, are not \"legally working\" in Thailand!! The law in Thailand clearly states that ALL foreign teachers MUST possess a MINIMUM Bachelors degree and an E.S.L. certificate. Just because your agency or school has the \"connections\" to get you an \"illegal\" Non-Im B, a teachers licence and a work permit does not mean that they are \"legally employing teachers without degree certificates\". In point of fact they are doing the exact opposite!\n\n2. You continue by saying that \"the salary you receive is low in comparison...\" DUH!!! You are not qualified. Why should you be paid a comparable wage to someone who is? Would you pay a plumber to perform bad surgery at the same rate as a qualified surgeon?\n\n3. You further state that because the \"level of English is extremely low\" in the North East and there is a \"huge shortage of teachers it\'s possible to teach legally without a degree.\" NO IT IS NOT!! Again, please see point #2 regarding corruption. This year, 2011, the Thai governments mandate is to have \"at least one N.E.S. teacher for every government school in Thailand.\" To that end, they have allocated 60,000 Thai Baht per teacher to all government schools. As long as there are unqualified people such as yourself and your friends willing to work for stipends, and break the law, the corrupt schools and agencies will continue to pocket the difference and your \"friends\" teaching without fake degrees will continue to find it \"harder to find employment\" \n\nYour letter contains a list of grammatical, punctuation and spelling mistakes too numerous to count. I dread the thought of \"unteaching\" the bad habits you are instilling in your students, although it wouldn\'t be the first time I\'ve encountered this. \n\nIn conclusion. Your misguided activities continue to foster a corrupt system and hamper those of us that are actually qualified from finding gainfull employment. I implore you to cease and desist your illegal actions forthwith. Once we have finally expunged people like yourself from teaching illegally in Thailand, maybe we can begin to actually raise the level of education in this country. I only wish that I knew the name of your school/agency so that I could report your lawless ways and have you deported! Do you even pay taxes?\n\nPhil (ajarn.com) says - David, you say that you don\'t usually post on blog sites. Well, after reading the above, I can certainly understand why. I\'m guessing that you posted the letter just to get a bit of a reaction. I certainly hope that\'s the case. Where do I start? Firstly, you harp on about Raphaella\'s contribution containing numerous spelling mistakes. To be honest my man - so did yours. Secondly, a TEFL certificate has never ever been a legal requirement for a teaching job in Thailand. I\'m sure it does you no harm when you are applying for jobs, but it\'s not a legal requirement. In addition, there are still certain teaching jobs that do not require a degree. And as for the last line \"I wish that I could contact your employer and have you deported\" - well, that just makes you look a prat.

I understand that you make your living by selling advertising to several agencies and schools that curcumvent the law by using bribery and corruption, but does that mean that you condone these illegal activities? I really hate to bandy words or split hairs with you but, if you check the official Thailand Immigration Office and M.O.E. websites you will find that in fact although a minimum of a Bachelors degree is sufficient to obtain a work permit and licence to teach in Thailand, IT MUST BE fortified by an E.S.L. certificate or it\'s equivilant.\n\nBut I digress. In your efforts to defend your major client base you seem to have missed the major points of my letter entirely. Please pay attention while I reiterate. Please understand that although I feel very strongly about this topic, I am not seeking any reaction to my statements.  \n\n1. Just because a person can obtain false documentation, it is not legal to use the same. I can purchase a forged passport in this country as well. Does that mean it would be legal for me to use it for international travel?\n\n2. Working at any job that you are not qualified for, at a reduced rate of pay, only serves to lower standards and take money and opportunity from qualified personnel.\n\n3. I am trying to point out the folly of accepting less for substandard and illegal services when the legal market will bear more. Thats just stupid business in any field.\n\n4. If a portion of us teachers must adhere to the letter of the law I believe it\'s only fair to expect that all of us do so. Raphaella isn\'t doing anyone a service by his/her misguided efforts. If there wasn\'t an illegal method to legitimise unqualified teachers and help them break the law to find work than wages, and conditions, would go up for those that are qualified. (Again, basic business, grade 1 page 2)\n\nFinally Phil, I would like to ask you personally a couple of questions. Firstly, if I should look a \"prat\" for trying to be a good citizen, upholding legal ideals, paying my taxes and reporting any and all crimes of which I may have knowledge, then what does collaborating with and defending said law-breakers make yourself? \n\nI have noticed that you tend to get your hakles up in defence of unqualified teachers quite often and as a media host I\'m sure you are aware of the age-old sayings that; a) \"there is no such thing as bad press\" and b)\"controversy sells papers\". So... My second question to you is this. Are you posting your reply to my letter \"just to get a bit of a reaction\"? \n\nI understand you have the ultimate, god-envying-like power to forego printing this reply regardless of these two common slogans but, do you have the human fortitude, (read balls), to recognise my right to rebutal and do so anyway? Judging by some of your previous blogs, somehow I think not.\n\nPhil (ajarn.com) says - Dear David. Well, I printed your second letter as well but I\'m going to call it a day there if you don\'t mind and we\'ll agree to disagree. Oh by the way, just because several hours passed and your second letter didn\'t get posted, doesn\'t mean I was ignoring you. I was just busy doing something else.

Many are unscrupulous and some are actually criminal. And here in Thailand, some are criminal according to even the vaguest Thai legal standards.\n\nThe teacher fire drill is a wonderful example of this. Fire drills are performed by a school when there is to be an inspection of that institution by a certain government department. Fire drills are not usually performed to allow people to practice their escape routes from burning buildings. That would be just silly. \n\nThe government department sends inspectors - upright and callously righteous inspectors of course - to inspect the employment records of teachers currently working at licensed schools to verify and validate the records of all concerned. But this only happens after a phone call to the school a few hours before the Inspectors arrive. This allows the school enough time to safely clear the airfield of teachers who are, well, neither above-board or on the board or even on the books at all. Being as happily corrupt as street walkers, as too many private schools are, someone has to pay tea money to someone in a monitoring position to stay in business. Welcome to Amazing Thailand.\n\nWe had a government fire drill last Friday. Five teachers vanished in the middle of their classes. One, a Brit teaching Matayom Physics at level 3, actually atomized. Another, a Dutch PE teacher, sprinted from the pitch in mid whistle-blow and broke a world record that is sadly never to be recognized. The locations of the other three were only clearly described in the negative afterwards, being declared either ‘not here’ or ‘whereabouts unknown’.\n\nHere are the other ironies of it. There must be some teachers on the books to satisfy the understandable need for inspectors to justify their own jobs and keep the income streaming for all involved. Each of these teachers ideally has a degree and permit. They pay taxes. They follow the rules. Because the order of the law is for some, as maligned and incomprehensible as it often is in the West. \n\nBut others do not follow the rules, and for understandable reasons. These teachers lurk in the shadows. They don\'t pay taxes and of course that means they take home more pay. Don\'t even fret about the higher rate of pay that these artful dodgers receive. Cash is easier to hide in Thailand than a blackbird at midnight, and since some employees are paid cash, they are invisible and entirely loved by the administration staff. It keeps things simple.\n\nAnd these illegal aliens skirting the law now get a day off from a fire drill - with pay! And you have to teach their classes while they head to the pub. And that’s in addition to the two day vacations they get every ninety days when they make a visa run and pretend to be tourists in perpetuity nauseum.\n\nCome Monday, all is just swell again. The government department is happy, the school is happy, and everyone is happy - except the legal teachers, of course.\nThey know what happened. All is well nonetheless. It is sabai-sabai in its purest form.\n\nMy advice is to just have a good time, and keep your head down. Otherwise, you\'ll have to phone the parents and explain that things are so screwed up that you can\'t even begin to explain, and when you get home it will take a week just to remember what happened.\n\nI\'m not going to break my contract over it.

If you have, you are in a minority, but I expect you are swanning around Bangkok in your tie like a true professoinal.  The reality is that there is a severe shortage of teachers up there and schools, in a state of almost desperation, will bend the rules to hire teachers.  That\'s the reality of life in poor areas.  \n\nI agree, that everyone should be qualified for their job and pay their taxes, but attacking symptoms of the system only makes you look pernickety and petty.  Raphealla is not the cause of the corruption, he / she is merely taking advantage of a situation that has multiple causes and is a matter for Thai Education Ministry to sort out, not for falangs like you and I.  If you want to attack the root of the problem, why not send an e-mail to the recruiting agencies or the Ministry itelf?\n\nYou say that Raphealla and others working illegally taking a stipend, as you put it, are making it hard for those legally qualified to find work.  Again, whose job is he / she taking?  The number of qualified teachers willing to work in Isaan falls far short of the number required.  He / she is taking an empty vacancy.  It is the reality of supply and demand.  The supply of teachers, qualified or unqualified, is low in Isaan and so it is a suppliers market. \n\nAs for you and your sort bleating on about qualfications, I was once a DOS in Bangkok, and I found so many teachers with degrees and these Mickey Mouse TEFL certificates from Thailand lacked a lot of basic knowledge about the language and teaching metholodolgy.

Actually, it’s been simmering for some time and having read the letters, perhaps now is the time to put forward my own views on the quality of a teacher’s life. I have not been teaching here for ever, I don’t hold a Masters degree in education and I don’t for a moment pretend that I know it all. I don’t therefore have the latest fashionable theory that promises to solve all the problems of teaching within the pages of one book. Like many, I became a teacher out of necessity but yes, I do have a Masters degree, (other), a TEFL and a work permit.\n\nI have worked in two schools, one government and one private. The government school being slightly better; not concerning conditions, but in the student’s being willing to learn. Disruption within the classroom, a non willingness to learn, managerial corruption and altering exam scores so that everyone passes – it’s what we’re all used to, but beneath all that I think most teachers and certainly the ones that I know, do genuinely care.\n\nWe face an impossible task. You can’t force someone to learn and I flatly refuse to accept that it is all the teacher’s fault. The schools and managers would certainly have you believe that and it is in their own interests to do so. Students become ‘paying customers’, parents become ‘esteemed financers’ and the teachers, the maximum hours + and ‘performers’. It’s all one jolly company in which very few learn anything, but everyone involved makes a living out of and therefore everyone should be happy. Fail your exams? No problem, you know you’re going to get a 50% pass, don’t you. Disrupt the classroom? No problem, you know I can’t do anything about it anyway. Complain to the manager(s) and you’re told, ‘you’re the teacher, it’s your problem’.\n\nI don’t know if we’re in general agreement here, but I’m seeing teachers with years and years of experience gradually being reduced to tears with the stress of it. In fact I no longer wonder why there is a gradual shortage of teachers, because the ones I know of are seriously thinking about, or have already gone to places like China and Vietnam.\n\nYes, it’s a gripe, but a serious one? Why is Thailand continually at the bottom of any league table in education? Why do many of its classrooms resemble playgrounds? Why are many of the student’s regarded by the government itself as having low I.Q’s? Happy doesn’t always mean good and ‘too serious’ is perhaps another term for ‘I can’t be bothered’. Is that the teacher’s fault? I regularly hold classes in which students of 16 years of age don’t even know where Thailand is on a map and can’t name the four countries adjoining it and what is more, a sizeable majority don’t care. The answer is to load on yet more classes and the up to 24 hours teaching then turns into 24 hours teaching, plus all the exam marking, preparation, homework, reading time . . . . . I don’t think it’s simply about the money, I’m seeing some pretty burned out teachers at the moment. Quantity over quality?! \n\nI want to teach. I actually get a kick out of students grasping the finer points of English grammar, or in any of the other add on subjects that I’m required to teach. I genuinely feel for the student’s who are told that because they have paid a lot of money they will now have no problem attending university in places like the U.K. I already know they have the core subject level of a 12 year old, but I’m not allowed to say so.\n\nPerhaps I’m wrong, but I have a strange feeling the ones who will largely disagree are the directors, managers and or recruiters who are too busy feathering their own nests and looking to put the blame on others for this continuation of affairs.

Firstly, to answer your question. Yes I am presently working in a small town in Khorat!! I tried the swanning around Bangkok thingy for a short time but, I couldn\'t handle being tarred with the same brush as all of the sex-tourist farang teachers in the big smoke that are working soley to extend their tourist visas. \n\nIt\'s nice to see that you agree that there is a desperate need for \"qualified\" teachers up here. That is the main point I was trying to make. Specifically, as long as there is a supply of unqualified personnel to fill the demand, misguided and confused people such as Rapheala will continue to facilitate unscrupulous agencies and schools to \"bend the rules\". This is basic business logic, generally accepted worldwide. \n\nPlease re-read my comment concerning the government agenda. The Thai government has allocated 60,000 Thai Baht per teacher to ensure that every school in Thailand has at least one N.E.S. teacher!! This is a big temptation for schools to hire people willing to work illegaly for a fraction of this amount and pocket the rest. However, if there wasn\'t a supply of illegal workers, a way for them to circumvent the rules, and they had to offer the full amount to attract a qualified teacher, then I would surmise that there would be many willing to accept employment in rural areas. \n\nOf course \"the number of qualified teachers willing to work in Isaan falls far short of the number required.\" It takes a lot of hard work, sacrifice and dedication to attend university for 7 plus years in order to become a qualified teacher. Is it fair that one should have to compete with individuals such as Raphealla for employment? He/she is not providing anyone, least of all the students, any benefit. \n\nI stand by my original point. Unqualified personnel, in any field, willing to work for a stipend of what the market will bear, create a condition whereby qualified personnel can not or will not seek employment in said field. I hope that answers your question as to exactly whose job Raphealla is taking.  One final question. If these teachers of which we speak are qualified then why are they working in a country that facilitates there employment illegaly? Could it be that they wouldn\'t be allowed to work in any other country?

Demonstration schools, many international schools know how to teach but this knowledge is not shared at the government school level. \n\nI challenge any fully qualified teacher to teach in a rural govenrment school where 80% can\'t read and class sizes are in excess of 40 plus.

You say that unqualified teachers like Raphaella could not get a job in another country?, Well, you know that is probably not true. Schools in Laos,Cambodia and many African countries and elsewhere would gladly accept a dedicated person such as Raphaela, and probably reward her with a better standard of living for her efforts. \n\nActually, I have worked in Germany, where private language schools accept unqualifed native speakers, so I would imagine that is true of many countries, given how officious the Germans are.  However, the main point is how do unqualified teachers get a job in Thailand?  They are employed by Thais.  Any problems that you claim are due to unqualified foreign teachers are ultimately caused by them being recruited by Thais.  If Thailand had the same systems as other countries, then the unqualified teachers would be rejected in the recruitment process.\n\nAssuming Thailand adopted such a policy, it still is not going to attract many well-qualified experienced teachers.  They are going to go where there is a better deal, ie higher pay, better conditions, reasonable holidays etc.   Even 60k a month is not going to attract enough qualified foreign teachers to Thailand, partly because that would be reduced to 40k by the time the administrators and school owners get their cut.  If you have studied 7 years to get your qualifications, as you say, would you really think 60k (or less) was a just reward for all that hard work? \n\nAlso, even if Thailand changed the way it recruits and only accepted qualified teachers for school positions, it is unlikely enough money would be spent on recruitment to attract qualified quality teachers anyway.  The Thai mentality for the most part is driven by an over-riding desire to make and save money.  If Thais can recruit locally more cheaply, they will do so.  Moreoever, the misguided perception that youth and caucasion features equate to a good teacher means Thais often opt for someone on arbitary criteria rather than teaching qualifications and skills.  That is the Thais fault, not teachers like Raphaela\'s.\n\nThey say countries get the government they deserve and I say schools get the teachers they deserve.  As Peelie said \"Isaan doesn\'t need more qualified foreign teachers, it needs to set realistic standards\".  Thailand, and Isaan in particular, does not have the financial resources to attract enough qualified teachers, so the schools there should be thankful that people like Raphaela are willing to put in the effort to help to meet the shortfall of qualified teachers.\n\nFinally, of course unqualifed personnel in any field are undesirable and even a liability.  The level of undesirability, however, is related to the level of expertise required to do a job.  Given that half of a TEFLer\'s required skills are knowing his / her own language, then i would imagine that being qualified for the job with certification is not as crucial as it would be for say a dentist or an airline pilot.  I think you are elevating English language teaching above its station.  It is not a profession, it is a job requiring some skills, like a cooper or blacksmith, but dont equate it to a profession.',1,'2011-08-13 23:41:32','storage/legacy/files/postbox/flagwaver.gif','2011-08-13 23:41:32','2011-08-14 14:02:33'),(6155,'How to generate a teacher shortage','how-to-generate-a-teacher-shortage','Ajarn Robert','I have been teaching in Thailand for over 6 years now and I feel qualified to make a few observations and even point to a few changes that could make a difference.','I have been teaching in Thailand for over 6 years now and I feel qualified to make a few observations and even point to a few changes that could make a difference. In the face of increasing frustration I feel compelled to put my opinion out there in the forlorn hope that someone in authority will take some notice.  My frustration stems from three distinct areas.\n\n1.  Wishful thinking. Laws have been passed that require foreign teachers to have at least a university degree to qualify for a teacher’s license. Highly skilled teachers with diplomas, teaching certificates and experience are rejected outright or have to teach illegally for peanuts.  While this on the face of it, is an attempt to get the best possible teachers, it is totally unrealistic. There is simply no incentive to teach in Thailand long term. Teachers in their own countries generally get more money, access to health insurance, superannuation and legal representation than here.  \n\n2. Lack of support. Without a suitable teacher’s union non-Thai teachers are at a disadvantage for a start. The Thai teacher council based in Bangkok has proved to me to be extremely difficult to communicate with. Telephones are only answered intermittently and then by non-English speakers. No English language pamphlets are available because the rules are changed regularly and no-one seems willing to act as spokesperson except to give the most sketchy of explanations. This does not sit well.  \n\n3. Discrimination. Those few who do stay the distance and have put down roots generally have Thai families to support. They are exploited through discrimination on visas, work permits, home ownership and even entry charges to national parks and entertainment venues. This certainly does not sit well.\n\nAll this happens in a climate of desperation as schools try to staff their English departments with skilled native speaking teachers. When these are not available the second choice is of course non-native speakers who teach with often difficult to understand accents.  The government knows this yet they persist with the same strategy. They must know these policies do not work and are counterproductive. They must be doing this for a reason because those in power are not stupid. \n\nI am sure that at the root of this is the belief that Thai culture will be threatened if the English language gets a foothold in Thailand. This was proved to me by the previous government’s rejection of English as the official “ second Language”. (Bangkok Post) I am convinced otherwise, for like Holland (where Dutch and English co-exist to enable the Dutch to take advantage of the language of commerce) Thailand can gain the same access to commercial opportunities for its citizens without endangering their treasured culture. \n\nThe incoming government has a chance to change the policies that retard English acquisition in the community. I wonder if they consider that a priority? I certainly won’t be holding my breath.',1,'2011-08-17 01:44:50','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb41.jpg','2011-08-17 01:44:50','2011-08-17 17:05:51'),(6225,'What\'s American English?','whats-american-english','Apso','I don\'t think that there is such a thing as \"American English\" America is a country and they speak American, England is a country and they speak English.','What\'s American English??

I have taught in both systems and the lack of funds and poor standards (copying, pretty pictures etc) in government schools condemn students in this system to a second rate teaching experience, degree or no degree.',1,'2011-09-15 16:37:00','','2011-09-15 16:37:00','2011-09-16 07:07:01'),(6324,'Max Weber 101','max-weber-101','Chris','In times where the majority of Western teachers were monocultural and monolingual – able to speak but English, and unfamiliar with other cultures in all but the most shallow of senses – native languages were thought to have no place in the second language classroom.','Another perspective on the qualified versus unqualified teachers debate might be to say the following. What prevails is not the truth, but instead the viewpoint of the majority. Or, the viewpoint of those in power. Any foreigner living in Thailand should gladly recognise that by now.\n\nFor example, in times where the majority of Western teachers were monocultural and monolingual – able to speak but English, and unfamiliar with other cultures in all but the most shallow of senses – native languages were thought to have no place in the second language classroom. Which, unless you have a terminal case of having your head stuck in the sand, or have not opened a book on teaching in the last 20 years, is a philosophy that in the present day has well and truly been debunked. More to the point, if you can actually speak another language, you can easily see how advantageous a prudent use of the native language in the classroom might be – for example, to clarify instructions regarding the steps to follow in very complex language activities, wherein it is the target use of the language that is important, and not the three hours it would take to get the students to properly understand what they should be doing by miming and shouting. Or, to explain a complex concept, where it is the concept that is important and not the language that describes it, again for the purposes of saving time and sticking to the curriculum. Only someone who cannot speak the native language, that is, would be able to overlook these advantages, and say that in fact there are none.\n\nYet, this idea possessed a lot of currency, and is still dogmatically adhered to by some. Part of the momentum for this ‘religion’, it would be distinctly uncritical not to note, must surely derive from the facts that (1) if being able to speak the native language, all other things being equal, is advantageous, then it reflects badly on one not to be able to speak it, which does not ride well with the cultural profile of your typical monolingual, monocultural person; and (2) the fact that the majority of its supporters (the upholders of this faith) were in the same boat, and that they were thus able to manufacture ‘truth’ collectively. \n\nTo put it simply, if you take a hundred people, ten of whom can speak another language, and ask them what the role of native languages are in the classroom, the chances are that the ultimate consensus is going to be that there is very little good about it. Reason has nothing to do with it, this is a very convenient truth for most of these people to cling to.\n\nAnother good example is the issue of qualifications versus experience. In the past, people could get a teacher’s license in a couple of years, by studying a pre-information age diploma. Now, teachers have to do a four or five year degree in order to become qualified. In the Middle East, for example, where older teachers dominate, experience is upheld as the signifying quality of a sound teacher. In South Korea, where younger teachers prevail, it is characteristics like education, place of education, second language ability, number of publications and familiarity with new technologies that are held in the highest esteem. \n\nAs to where the truth lies in this debate, I am not going to stick my toe in – other, that is, than to observe that when I used to teach at university in Thailand, the most unmanageable students were the older Thai teachers, they had far less academic integrity than the younger generations. They cheated rampantly in their exams; they were the most prone to have a sleep in the class and not do their homework; and they used to force the younger teachers to give them their completed homework, so they could pass it off as their own. \'No bull\', as the Australians say, they were the people I would be least inclined to look up to as an example.\n\nSo then we get to the issue of qualifications in general. If we want to know what ideas prevail in Thailand, we could have a look at the teacher demography. Wow, there are a lot of unqualified teachers practising…the prime movers in Thai schools, who do not have any concept of what constitutes a decent education, like unqualified teachers because they are cheap, and because their views around teaching correspond…in this context, we might expect to find the view that unqualified teachers are good teachers. Or, that teaching is not a proper profession in the respect that one does not have to possess any specialist knowledge or skills. \n\nDo such views prevail? Where might they prevail?

Thailand remains one of the few countries where foreigners with very few qualifications, and in quite a few cases no qualifications at all, are able to land full-time teaching positions within the mainstream system. I mean, what do people expect? With such low requirements the country is hardly likely to be a world leader in the field of education,is it? If it was, then things would be rather different and 95% of the farangs currently working here wouldn\'t be able to do so. We shouldn\'t forget how lucky we are. A 4-week intensive course and hey presto - you are now a qualified English teacher. Many Thai teachers are committed professionals with qualifications coming out their ears and yet they still have to accept the fact that they are going to earn a fraction of what the the TEFL course qualified farang is getting.\n\nHaving said this, The stories like the ones on here and others that you hear on the  grapevine still never cease to amaze me. It also continues to shock me at just how short sighted, unrealistic and naive some schools can be. I recently saw an advertisement for a position in an \'International school\'. They needed somebody who was fully qualified to teach GCSEs, in other words, someone with QTS. They were offering the princely sum of 33K per month. I mean, who are they trying to kid?! Dream on! I have no doubt that they will end up employing someone with a BA (if they are very lucky) and a 4-week TEFL course certificate that was obtained from a language school on a beach somewhere down in the Islands. \n\nThere is no doubt that Thailand is behind, way behind. But the fault lies with the system and the people who run the schools. I\'m sorry, but you try putting 55 kids of ANY nationality in a small room all day long - you are going to have problems. Many of the kids that you meet here are wonderful, bright, highly respectful and intelligent young people who are simply being stifled in their current environment. It is a great shame. For me the worst part is just the general acceptance of the situation -the  \'that\'s just the way it is\" attitude. Of course, the general population don\'t know any better, and having 55 mixed ability teens in the classroom of a \'top, private school\' is perfectly normal.',1,'2011-10-31 01:03:55','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb41.jpg','2011-10-31 01:03:55','2011-10-31 15:03:56'),(6678,'Far away','far-away1','James','OK Thai school directors, bridging teachers, managers and let\'s include the various shady hiring companies, you won and I now find myself in China.','OK Thai school directors, bridging teachers, managers and let\'s include the various shady hiring companies, you won and I now find myself in China.

A truly welcoming director and staff, plus students who simply want to learn. I will certainly come back to Thailand, but as for work? No thank you!  Within this short letter lies your answer to the Thai teacher shortage!\n\nPhil says - Hi James. I\'m glad to hear that you have landed a teaching position you are obviously happy with but I think it\'s important to keep in mind that every country has its good and bad jobs. There are plenty of websites on the topic of teaching in China - some of them very professional and well-run - and they often paint a very negative picture of teaching in that country. I\'m not saying it\'s all bad. But I ain\'t saying it\'s all good either. Every country is what you make of it.',1,'2011-11-12 05:41:40','','2011-11-12 05:41:40','2011-11-12 20:08:41'),(6696,'The chalkies need a real change','the-chalkies-need-a-real-change','Mr Grumpy','Nothing can prepare the foreign teacher for the employee-to-management-to-admin staff life. Dealing with these matters can drive the most experienced teachers up the wall and can turn a normally friendly teacher into a paranoid wreck! \n','In response to Phil\'s front Page Comment that links to an article from the Phuket Gazette that states that foreign teachers are in short supply (in Phuket). In all the years I have been teaching here, I have met a few kids that ruffled my feathers. But, nothing I could not manage. That is what comes with experience and teacher training - TEFL courses do help, but nothing beats a real long term program. However, nothing can prepare the foreign teacher for the employee-to-management-to-admin staff life. Dealing with these matters can drive the most experienced teachers up the wall and can turn a normally friendly teacher into a paranoid wreck! \n\nDaily fears of ‘did one Wai the director or janitor the right way’ can take a higher precedence than lesson quality. Don’t forget, the janitor often gets paid before the foreign teachers and he/she cleans the director’s office. Upset the janitor and the director knows about the teacher’s deepest and darkest secrets – such might include bathroom habits, eating habits or even worse, the contents of the teacher’s dustbin!\n\nIf the foreign teacher can survive the Wai, then he/she must overcome the grumpy smile-less faces of the close to retirement teachers that still remember the Dark Ages. The foreign teacher’s salary, skin colour, dress sense, mode of transportation and eating habits all irritate those godfathers and godmothers of the place of learning. Many of them associate more with the stray dogs than with their fellow Thai teachers and a lot less than with students. The foreign teacher is doomed from the start, as nothing will please these respected people whose one word results in instant contract termination and 24 hours to leave the country or face jail. However, the more capable foreign teacher can win by being the friend of one’s enemy – feed those straw dogs!\n\nIf the foreign teacher has overcome the above, then his/her battle just begins. The dreaded visa and work permit is enough to have most foreigners run to the hills. All the paperwork required must be signed by the director. If the Wai is not perfected or the stray dogs are not fed, expect delays or even no visa and workpermit. Also, there is the need for the teachers licence or the 2 year ‘absolution of all failures’ document from the teacher’s council. It is easier to become a Freemason than to get these documents. Without these a visa and workpermit will not be issued. \n\nThis battle hardened teacher is now ready to teach in Phuket! \n\nThen he/she turns to the job section of his/her favourite website and sees a list of 15-20,000 Baht a month jobs offering 9 month contracts where only 6 are paid for. The foreign teacher suddenly gets a flashback of all those years feeding the stray dogs, kneeling down to Wai anybody and everybody (including the straw dogs), remembers the months he/she never got paid for teaching work done, travelling at night to a Myanmar border where guns with live ammunition were pointed at him/her; just to get that temporary visa and avoid being arrested and chained in a dungeon.\n\nThe foreign teacher, slowly gets up on a stool, places the noose and tightens it around his/her neck. Before he/she kicks the stool, a question is asked... \nDoes the relaxation of requirements, by the Phuket Education office (as mentioned in the news report) address the above?',1,'2011-11-14 21:35:20','storage/legacy/files/postbox/noose.jpg','2011-11-14 21:35:20','2011-11-15 12:12:21'),(6700,'Why teach in Thailand?','why-teach-in-thailand','James','Let’s be honest and say that professionally qualified or not, we are/were here because it’s a great place to live and let’s not pretend that altruism in helping children, or to improve the Thai education system is why we came here.','In praise of Thai schools, or rather the distinct lack of. Yes, every country has its good or bad jobs, but with increasing frustration I seek to read of a happy or even contented foreign teacher in Thailand. Post after post detailing the inadequacies of the Thai education system and perhaps the ‘happy’ teachers are far too busy enjoying themselves to respond? \n\nGranted, previously I had only been in Thailand for three years, but in that time I never met a teacher who enjoyed their job. I do suppose there are, but I also think they might be an endangered species. Now again granted, I am not in the lofty position of being a qualified teacher, but even so I never met one of those that was happy either. Thailand is not what you make it, it’s what Thailand makes of you and Mr Grumpy in his post perfectly sums that up. If this happened in our respective countries there would be an outcry, strikes, the unions would be up in arms. So why do we pretend? Why do we pretend that in some unfathomable way we are helping children by passing the failures and conforming to crooked practices? Why do we pretend that being a ‘qualified’ teacher in some way separates us from the crowd when we are all well aware that the main requirements are to be under 30, have a white skin and the energy to jump up and down? Why do we put ourselves above those of the Peace Corps, who can and do probably jump up and down higher than we can and will do it for a lot less money!\n\nThese ‘professionally run’ schools in Thailand, where are they? Is it where the ‘professional’ teachers are?! Let’s be honest and say that professionally qualified or not, we are/were here because it’s a great place to live and let’s not pretend that altruism in helping children, or to improve the Thai education system is why we came here. We are all required to cheat and lie and come the exams not one of my students ever achieved less than a 50% score – my employment depended on it as did the ‘professional’ teachers. We were/are all regularly and on a daily basis used and abused and that applies equally to those who have a Masters degree in education as it does to the newly arrived graduates in social whatever. My own personal opinion is that the Thai mentality is not adaptable and when this is allied with the ‘Mai Pen Rai’ attitude, the results can only be a failure in whatever direction that management is applied.\n\nSo I came to China. Yes, there are probably instances of not being paid by companies, probably corruption and yes, if you can’t speak Chinese and how many can, there is a feeling of isolation. Yet I haven’t come across teaching problems, discipline problems or overworked, burned out foreigners. Perhaps it’s why China excels and in a recent Thai government acknowledgement, is why Thai children have the lowest attainment and IQ in the Eastern hemisphere. It is not our fault, qualified or not, it is the fault of the system in which we play a part because we are unable to change it. Again, in my opinion, the situation will only get worse as more people leave and are replaced by those willing to adapt to the ‘Thai way’.',1,'2011-11-15 16:50:36','storage/legacy/files/postbox/bp37.jpg','2011-11-15 16:50:36','2011-11-16 07:07:37'),(6719,'Better the devil you know','better-the-devil-you-know','Mr. Russell Park','At this moment in time, I find myself teaching in a small town close to Nakhonsawan.

One is a work permit and the other thing is a visa. They serve different purposes. Actually - and I need to point this out again - there is no such thing as a \'work visa\' in Thailand anyway. What you get is a one-year extension on your non-immigrant B visa. At no point should it ever be referred to as a \'work visa\' because it isn\'t one. It\'s the work permit that enables you to work legally in the country and it\'s the visa that allows you to stay legally in the country - and they are two entirely seperate things!

The safety net is for the Thais, not the falang.  If you\'ve been there long enough, you should know the pecking order by now.','Just a bit about myself so you get some perspective. I worked in Thailand for two years during the mid 2000\'s. I was at a school in Bangkok. I\'d come to Thailand for a change having worked 4 solid years in South Korea. I quickly noticed the differences in how I was treated by school\'s administrative staff from both countries. In short, South Koreans were efficient and knew what they were doing most of the time.  Thailand was the \"Wild South East.\" No housing, low pay, long hours and the school wanted me to punch in on a clock like some factory worker every morning before smiling to parents and children. Luckily, I loved teaching enough to put up with the hoops and obstacles put before me. I stayed two years and left.  \n\nI am not surprised some teachers are being told by Thai schools that they will not receive money for the time they didn\'t work during the floods.  The safety net is for the Thais, not the falang.  If you\'ve been there long enough, you should know the pecking order by now.  You\'re at the bottom of it, mate, pure and simple. I\'ve read some comments about Acts of God in the contract.  Thai contracts (insert long laugh here)  I actually saved my first contract with a Thai school as a memento.  It was on legal paper, about five pages long with a lot of clauses.  I keep it in a file the way a tourist might keep a keychain purchased on Khao Sarn Road. It\'s merely a trinket. I\'m going to add fuel to the fire for the moaners and whiners by saying they should argue that the floods were not acts of God, but several little acts of demi-gods, namely the Thaksin family.  But I digress. If a man destroys a \"big bag\" that was holding back water, does it become an act of God?  I\'ll let the lawyers sort that one out.\n\nThis next point is going to be a bit tricky, but here goes. If you are working in Thailand as a teacher, you\'re not really a teacher are you.  I mean, you wake up and put on a shirt and tie and you may even have a university degree, but you\'re just there because you like the sun, the cheap beer and entertainment. Tell me I\'m wrong and I\'ll listen. Mother Nature threw you a curveball this year and now suddenly your meager salary can\'t afford you the lifestyle you expected.  Or you had to piss it away on hotels and travel because your school and/or house was inundated. I feel your pain. I really do. I hope you had a backup plan and cash to help you through your lean months, (it was only a few months, right?) a plan that didn\'t include stomping and sloshing your feet all the way to Suvanabumi saying, \"Oh, I\'ll show you!   China will be better!\"     \n\nI suspect during this time of flooding in Bangkok, school administrators switched off their mobiles and hid.  What sweet Thai woman who has done her time at the institution wants to address angry falang?  Tell me how many miscommunications from your school you had to deal with, wrong dates for return, general misinformation.  Again, I feel your pain.  Well, it\'s up to you to decide whether you\'ll fight or take flight.

I sympathize, but if you intend to live from pay day to pay day, (and just concentrate on having a good time in between) then surely the financial position you’re in is yours and not anyone else’s? \n\nWell there is more to this than meets the eye. In my case I was on the dole in London and had I not taken a decision to move, I would have been dead there too. I knew I had a greater chance of work in Asia. My bank of 30 years would not loan me for interim costs e.g. deposit - so I funded myself out of my savings. But then I got hit by a series of events; having to buy on onward ticket for the visa run and forking out two months deposit for a condo - some or all of which I  might not get back. As you say we have no rights here. Some of it is my fault but I got put off going to China initially by reading too many \'negative\' forum posts. \n\nDon’t you ever think you’re going to get sick, get older or just for any other reason be unemployed in Asia? In other words, have you ever thought beyond your next pay check and what might happen if it doesn’t materialize? Yes James but in my case it is a case of starting from scratch (in China) and hoping that it all works out.

And please spare us the “you can live in a 5k a month room” speech. Foreigners who are serious about living and teaching in Thailand are not interested in living like Thais. We don’t want to live on thirty baht meals and we are not interested in drinking Chang all night on the porch with 18-25 year old Thai guys. Is it so bad we want a Krispy Kreme from Siam Paragon from time to time or want to purchase a nice shirt to wear to work that costs 1000 baht? \n\nWe all know that 30-40k is barely enough to live in Bangkok where the overwhelming majority of teaching jobs are located. So when you speak of saving your money and standing on your own two feet you should reference what working poor means in the West. It means people have jobs and still cannot eat, pay their rent and their utilities. This is commonplace in the UK and the US. \n\nCompound that with living in a society that tolerates you rather than invites you and it makes things very difficult. Your ultra conservative attitude toward the plight of other foreigners here that have suffered as a result of the flooding  is exactly the type of attitude that has led to millions protesting and camping out in capital cities all over the Western world. \n\nThose people protesting are not asking for your socialist utopia as you describe it. Rather they just want jobs and to be treated fairly. That’s all the foreign teachers in Thailand are asking. All the teachers know that the Thai teachers are getting assistance and the agencies are still going to get their money. And we as foreign teachers don’t have Uncle Bob or Aunt Sarah to live with and feed us because our place is flooded. We have no place to go.\n\nJust because Thais decide that they do not want to have a socialist agenda (your assessment James) does not mean we as Westerners living in the Wild, Wild West that is Thailand, have to do the same amongst ourselves. And what does a socialist agenda mean really in our respective Western countries? It means the governments we put in power and pay exorbitant taxes to will serve and help us in our time of need.  \n\nForeigners here in Thailand have only one support system - ourselves. Your “I am better than the other foreigners because I have money” attitude is a facade. You are not better than any of us. Thais do not care about you and every foreigner living here knows this. And in your time of peril and despair you, like other foreigners, will seek out the help of your embassy. By the way, these embassies who will assist you are the same nations where socialist agendas make it so that if you are in trouble and in need in a foreign land they will assist you. \n\nAnd is your statement that Thais do not have a socialist safety net true? Your statement is the furthest thing from the truth. All day long you can watch television and a large percentage of what they show is the Thai government out helping Thais whether it is now or five years ago! \n\nGod forbid you will be unable to pay your rent and eat because of no fault of your own.

I had to take 24 hours just too cool down. Are we working in Stalin\'s Gulags? Is the job of a teacher worse than a soldier in the front line? Soldiers get paid at the end of the month! And according to you teachers should not get paid? I do agree that it is not ideal to come to work in Thailand without much savings, nor should one not try to save for a rainy day. However, two months without pay is around 60-70,000 baht in saved money that needs to be used (rent, relocation - to escape the floods, food etc.). \n\nIn Thailand there are teachers with family and those who get paid 15,000 baht a month (who have to spend most of the salary to survive - without even entertaining themselves). 60-70,000 baht, used from what might have taken a year or two to save, just to go back to a school that has already received the government funding (for government schools), and all fees for the allotted foreign teachers, and is not paying the teacher? Where did that money go? And they were laughing too?\n\nUsing your same logic that the teacher is to blame, I state it is the school to blame (for private schools)! Surely the rich boss should have saved up money to survive this “rainy day”? That rich boss made a ton of money off the foreign teachers before. At the end of the day, the fat cat hopes to make more from the sweat of the foreign teacher in the future too – so, keeping the workers fed and alive might just ensure they are there to contribute towards the boss’s new Mercedes.\n\nAs for Thailand not being a socialist EU style state that takes care of people, if you are legal, you pay 750 Baht a month in social insurance – yes, the foreigners pay it too (and can claim on it)  so if you pay it then you are entitled to it.

I can assure you that I didn’t force them to work for that amount and I think that you wouldn’t find any in Bangkok working for that.

You know the score here, (or perhaps you don’t) You pay 750 baht a month for insurance if you’re legal? Really? I was legal and didn’t.

I by no means wish to ruffle feathers but will purely speak from my own point of view. I too have just gone from Sept 30th - Nov 27th without pay because I currently work for an agency and work for them in a private school, semester to semester. I read with curiosity about those that were not managing on their wage or weren\'t able to save anything. \n\nMy basic salary is 33,000 baht per calendar month and out of that I pay for my accommodation - a modest 4500 baht for a nice newly refurbished air conditioned room (40 sqm) with all the trimmings bed wardrobe work unit tv unit. I have a nice TV fridge, microwave and mini cooker. It costs me less than 8000baht to live a good life and that allows for eating out at weekends. \n\nI suspect that the majority of the problems for those that cannot manage is that they like to really live (party) and I would expect that they get through a fair amount of baht doing that, or they have a larger accommodation bill than me. Life really is what you make it. \n\nI said that I had gone through from Sept 30 - Nov 27 without pay and so I have, However I have embraced the school where I work and I try my best to embrace the culture and actively take part where ever possible in school activities even if they are not directly part of the English programme. To that end I have been embraced by the Thai teachers, the children and the parents, but also the director and his son who run the school. I feel sorry for those in a position where they are just a farang teacher doing his job and probably that is the extent of what they do.  Maybe their bosses are really rich and mean I don\'t know. From my point of view, the Thais are caring and do show concern. In my case I had a back-up fund which coped with the long holiday but I also had two fantastic bosses who despite not having a contract or any obligation to pay when I was not at school, were aware of the extreme circumstances and I was given a generous gift of 20,000 baht from their pockets not the school.\n\nI have been really lucky. I have found a great school with great kids, great teachers and great bosses. I have found great rooms and don\'t pay the earth for them. I have found private work which boosts my monthly wage to over 53,000 for a few hours extra a week after school and with that I finish well before 7pm on three nights and I do nothing school related between 3.30pm Friday until 7.30am Monday.\n\nLife is what you make it here.

Thais are never going to change for you; it is you who must make the adjustments. Coming here playing the big ‘I AM’ is going to cause you nothing but misery. Coming here bringing an ‘I am going to modernize the Thais’ attitude will also cause you nothing but pain.

All the teachers desks were messed up and moved to different positions from where they used to be, according to a pre-established unknown rule from above.\n\nForeign teachers had to bite their tongue and to protest silently, in the way they considered the most decent and the most appropriate to the respective situation.For example, teacher P came to school for the next four months, dressed with his snow coat, ski mask, winter collar and gloves, since the aircon blew like a -30 degrees celsius Siberian blizzard, straight onto his back! But that didn’t bother Thai staff at all. They were happy and they were giggling about the foreign teachers’ situation. Doesn’t matter some of them had to pay several visits to the doctors, even take some days off, for catching strong colds or rheumatic pains caused by the aircon that continued to blow impassible, straight onto their backs for several months. That’s why the school pays so much money to insure the foreigners, so they can enjoy their aristocratic privileges!\n\nTeacher P continued to endure this harsh treatment several months and when the right opportunity came up, he handed in his resignation in the most honest and decent way. But this time teacher P had his V from vendetta. Earlier this morning, as teacher K. showed up at the office, he couldn’t find his desk!? Again!? Why? Obviously, it had been moved by somebody without his permission. Since only the Thai coordinators were around, he presumed they might have something to do with the Unidentified Freaking Operation, shortly called U.F.O.\n\nDon’t get me wrong, but teacher K. believes in all sort of ethereal things like aliens and other extraterrestrial beings, and, if the coordinators couldn’t admit that they were involved somehow in his desk levitation, then for sure the Devil itself put his tail between his legs. Finally, the coordinators admitted they were the authors of the strange phenomenon but with one amendment: they received orders straight from the school’s Principal. With the pressure building up like a locomotive whistle, teacher K. heads down to Principal’s office, ready to explode, threatening the school with his imminent and unconditional resignation.\n\nUnexpectedly, the Principal found her words in a perfect English, explaining she has never given any controversial order to move his desk around the office. More than that, she assured him of taking all the necessary measures for reestablishing the normal course of his desk (life)! Shortly after, she ordered to the coordinators to move the desks back, so there will be no mystery about who ordered to move the desks around the office!

Each posting takes us nearer to truth about Thai education; students with the lowest I.Q’s in Asia, and compulsory falsification of exam results to try to hide it. Why has the salary dropped? It’s very simple, as many have pointed out; you’re not teachers, you’re ‘entertainers’ and how much is a ‘babysitter’ worth? That’s why you’re being offered 15,000 to 25,000 a month! Forget your grammar and bring into the classroom a set of bingo cards instead . . . . . the students will be happy and if the students are happy the parents will be happy.

Granted, Thailand to me is the nicest place to live in but not to work. How about the oil states, or China, or up and coming Vietnam?

Perhaps Thailand indeed gets what it deserves.\n\nA year or two contract in the aforementioned places, then a visit to Laos on your return for a six-month Thai tourist visa and you combine the pleasure of living in Thailand without getting burned out or suffering a heart attack from the stress of teaching unruly class sizes of 50+, 26+ hours a week. I used to teach in Thailand and I see boatloads of foreigners leaving.

Unlike expat English teacher-oriented websites for a lot of other nearby countries, it seems like this one really fishes out the pertinent issues and attempts to take an object stance.\n\nI lived in Thailand and taught there for a little over a year. I worked at two places: A university and the EP department of a high school.  I am married to a Thai national, and although we will surely visit her family there, I pray that I will never have to work there again.  My beef with working there pretty much echoes what others have said:  two-faced Thai teachers and coworkers, bad workplace communication, hostile and invasive supervisors that seem eager to see you go, lies about pay and conditions, generally low pay, improper or non-existent support, inconvenient and unreasonable visa system, etc. \n\nThe main reason I\'m writing this letter, of course, is not to flatten the poor horse any more because certainly he is nearly paper thin by now. Rather I\'d like to provide a very respectful criticism of your editorial section here.  \n\nOften prospective teachers or others write in to inquire about salaries and working conditions for jobs there in Thailand.  Often those inquiries are about pay being relative to the cost of living and so on. What I notice is that all too often, the response to the inquiries make it appear that the normal situation for a teacher with normal teaching qualifications ie: a TEFL cert, Bachelors degree, some teaching experience, etc would allow that teacher to make upwards of 40~50k baht per month.  \n\nFor example, about a month ago, you ran a story comparing someone working in Bangkok who made 60,000 baht with someone working in the South who made 40,000 baht.  The article seemed to represent these figures as if they purported to a status quo (I believe in the end, the conclusion was made that 40,000 a month in the South was not enough money to survive). In stark contrast, however, a brief scan of the jobs being advertised here on your website brushstrokes a very different picture.  \n\nMost jobs here pay 30,000 baht at best - and more still pay in the neighborhood of 20,000 baht. It is rare to find one that pays 40,000 baht in Bangkok, but there are a few jobs at business English schools for adults and so on.  Universities in Thailand almost universally pay between 25,000 and 30,000, with a few exceptions. \n\nSo, could you please adjust your explanations about what the salaries are like in Thailand, in the future?  I am sure a lot of people who plan to go there would really appreciate that.\n',1,'2012-01-27 16:17:40','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb41.jpg','2012-01-27 16:17:40','2012-01-28 07:07:42'),(7901,'Positive vibrations','positive-vibrations','Dizzy Dean','I work at a private school in Bangkok that was severely damaged by the flood.

It is also a “cash cow” for Koreans who continue to establish their brands globally. They prefer to keep teachers and even have a severance package as a safety net. Korean teachers get paid well and have healthy work hours resulting in normal work relations with foreigners. A degree is enough in Korea.\n\nKorea’s success involves more than students who learn how to communicate in another language but who can also learn what might appeal to other cultures. The success of Samsung, LG and Kia are directly related to been able to communicate and as a result they have emerged as global brands. In terms of changing a cultural outlook—when Samsung makes commercials with Ozzy Osborne in order to sell phones (no pun intended) then obviously their way of thinking has changed in order to control more of the market share in media and communication. It is now Nokia who? And Blackberry is quickly on the demise.\n\nWhen Japan started recruiting English teachers they became the first country to be able to establish brands globally and part of this emergence directly involved communication and cultural change. Being able to understand and predict what another culture wants and needs when you are capable of making good products is a successful formula. Japan has been making many better products than America for years. \n\nOver the last decade, Japan has gotten cheap--removing good secure teaching jobs, replacing them with low paying part time positions. Then greed surfaced as full time jobs disappeared and teachers worked miserably through agencies, which eventually bankrupted, resulting in many teachers going to other countries—especially Korea. Japan now has a reputation of not being a country to work in as a teacher. Korea on the other hand has a great reputation and continues to gain more of the Asian global market export share.\n\nChina has large economic growth  in demand for “outsourcing products” from western companies and expansion of global markets. Realizing the demand for English and communication as a necessity, well-paid teaching positions are also emerging in order to prepare a generation for change. The future looks promising. A degree is enough in China.\n\nThe same may be said for Vietnam. They are quickly developing and acquiring more share of a global market in manufacturing and it is just a matter of time when brands develop. They are also a country recruiting teachers and paying them fairly well. \n\nSingapore has been speaking English since the colonial days but they have still failed to establish their brands globally. Only their airline is a well-known brand. This seems odd when it is a huge area for trade.

After speaking with some Thais I was put in the picture about skin color and the fact that it indicates your wealth or standing in society.

But if in case I would be hired by another school, I would appreciate a twenty thousand baht starting salary.\n\nSo what is this all about trusting Ajarn?\n\nI received a message from a Mrs. Mary Lee, who emailed me four days ago. She was hiring me as a nanny in the UK with the promise of a brilliant salary. We exchanged emails but I asked her questions like \"how did she knew my email and where did she find me? Her reply was that she found me in Ajarn. After five days of emailing each other confirming me that she wanted to hire me, I provided her my name and mobile number. It was a horror to receive the promised contract who then changed her name to \"Janet\". I did not reply or did not even bother to confront her. I simply called her a bastard.\n\nMy question to Ajarn is this - how can outsiders like this scam artist email me if its true she found me here? Are emails of your featured teachers safe? Or was she only using this name knowing there are lots of Asian looking for a teaching job? It is so frustrating that some people can have time to fool others like spreading emails to every single individual just to make money perhaps, or may I call it a new style of scamming. She mentioned I should pay 30% of my expenses. If you feel that my message to you would not alert people of this kind of scamming then ignore this. But I suggest that you take precautions in keeping us all safe as job seekers and be at least guarded on being scammed using Ajarn as their information board of knowing people.\n\nThank you for your time and may this also help Ajarn.\n\nPhilip / ajarn.com replies\nDear Anna, I\'m sorry that you had such a bad experience using the ajarn.com resume database. I know exactly when you were contacted by the mysterious Mary Lee. In fact, you were not alone. Mary Lee contacted exactly 100 people who were displaying their resumes on ajarn.com and the scammer was able to look at resumes and teacher contact details by using a stolen credit card. Unfortunately the mysterious Mary Lee logged into the ajarn.com system at about 11.30pm on the night in question and looked at resumes throughout the night. There is absolutely nothing we can do in this situation because not to put a finer point on things - the ajarn.com webmasters are in bed. When I logged on to the ajarn.com system at about 6.00am the following morning, the damage had already done and I could see that the scammer had been looking at resumes and seemed to be targeting both Filipino and African teachers.\n\nUnfortunately stolen credit cards, which are then used to buy online services, represent the dark side of the internet. We have on average about six instances a year when someone tries to use a stolen credit card on ajarn.com and it is always for the purposes you describe in your letter - the offer of a lucrative but bogus job abroad. Nannying in the UK is a prime example of a job title that the scammers use. Usually, the scammers try these tricks during Thailand business hours (Malaysia seems to be a hotbed of stolen credit card fraud for some strange reason) and because either myself or my ajarn.com partner is tracking things on the site, we can close the person\'s account and inform the bank immediately. But not at 11.30pm we can\'t. I\'m sorry. \n\nIn ajarn.com\'s defence, we do already have at least one article on the website describing this particular teacher scam in detail. In fact, google anything associated with \'nannying in the UK scam\' and good information is never far away. And it\'s often Filipinos that are targeted. Actually, I\'m quite surprised that you even contemplated such a job offer, moreover, that you entered into a period of communication with what was clearly a scammer. Remember the old adage - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.\n\nThank you for bringing the matter to our attention.

I knew beforehand it would be an uphill battle.  I have spent 4 years of my life here, plus another 11 working at a Thai church near my home in the San Diego area, so I was well aware of the difficulties Thai people have with our language.  In fact, most of the few Thai people I know who speak it fluently have a very heavy Thai accent.','I retired from my job in the States last year and decided to spend my retirement here in Thailand, teaching Thai people to speak better English among other things.  I knew beforehand it would be an uphill battle.  I have spent 4 years of my life here, plus another 11 working at a Thai church near my home in the San Diego area, so I was well aware of the difficulties Thai people have with our language.  In fact, most of the few Thai people I know who speak it fluently have a very heavy Thai accent.\n\nThis is in large measure because the two languages, Thai and English, come from two entirely different language families.  A glance at the Wikipedia map of language families tells the story.  English is a member of the Indo-European language family.  Thai is a member of the Tai-Kadai family.  I further like to point out to those interested that there are 100 million speakers of Tai-Kadai family, with probably 70 million of those speaking Thai.  That may seem like a lot, but considering that there are now 7 billion people in the world, it means that only 1% of the world’s population speaks Thai.  I therefore try to impress on my students (or whoever wants to listen) that they are fine as long as they stay here.  But if they ever entertain any thoughts of traveling abroad, they need to expand their horizons and become at least semi-proficient in English.\n\nBecause the two languages are from different families, the sounds they make are different, the vocabulary is very different, the grammar is different and the way we say things are different.  In my life I have studied three other Indo-European languages and Thai, and by far the hardest for me to learn is Thai.  But I am convinced that English must be even harder for Thai people to learn than Thai is for me.\n\nI have come to the conclusion that there are only four possible ways for Thai people to become proficient at English (if you can think of any others, please enlighten):\n1.    They have the privilege of studying abroad in an English-speaking nation.\n2.    They have close, regular contact with English-speaking foreigners for an extended period of time.\n3.    They have a very high aptitude for learning languages. \n4.    Through sheer determination and willpower, they decide they are going to learn English, no matter what blood, sweat and tears it requires of them.\n\nSince those in category 3 are a rare breed indeed, and in Thailand those in category 4 may be even rarer, we are left with 1 and 2.  Category 1 is largely reserved with those that have sufficient financial resources.  That leaves only category 2 as the only one we can really remedy in the short term.\n\nWith this in mind, I want to address the recent article in the Bangkok Post concerning a 10,000 Baht per month subsidy that the Thai government will pay out per head for foreign NES teachers at the Thai schools. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/284237/schools-get-foreigner-subsidy While this is definitely a positive development, there are three scenarios as I see it that it can play out:\n\n1. It will result in an increase in teacher salaries, designed to retain quality teachers here, vice having them go elsewhere abroad.  While Thailand is a wonderful place to visit/live, the cold, hard fact is that nobody is going to get rich over here teaching English.  My oldest son has been teaching English in Japan for five years now and he probably pulls in three times the salary I get here.  In checking TEFL salaries in other countries I have found that Korea and Taiwan are not far behind Japan.  Thailand is way behind, maybe in the caboose of the TEFL train or at least close to it here in the Far East.  Nevertheless, an increase in teacher salaries is the least likely way I see the subsidy being used.\n\nThere are also things in this country that make it less attractive to TEFL teachers.  Most notably is the tremendous amount of red tape that you have to go through to stay in the country.  Between the visas, work permits, teaching licenses, Thai cultural lessons, etc. it’s enough to put the best of us off.  If Thailand really wants to retain good, quality teachers, relaxing those restrictions would go a long way.  I understand the reasoning for checking teachers’ credentials to make sure they are qualified, but once this is done, why is it still so difficult, costly and time-consuming?\n\nFinally, increasing the salaries of foreign teachers is sure to correspondingly increase resentment between the Thai and foreign staff of schools.  While I don’t see this at the university I work at, from what I understand it can be a real problem at other schools, particularly when the foreign teachers don’t take the time to learn Thai and thus there is the communication barrier as well.\n\n2.    A second method that the subsidy could be paid out is an increase in the number of foreign staff per school.  This is really the one that makes the most sense, and the one by which the kids at the schools will win the most.  More foreign teachers means more teacher –student contact and thus smaller class size.  It also means less of a workload for teachers.  Also, the more foreign warm bodies that occupy a school during learning hours means that much more money from the subsidy they collect.\n\n3.    The final way the subsidy money may be spent is the school merely pockets the money and uses it for other purposes, such as on administrative salaries.  Nothing really gets passed on to the kids or foreign teachers.  Regrettably, knowing Thailand as I do, this seems to be the most likely scenario.\n\nHow the actual money is spent is probably will not be all in one of the ways, but a combination of all three.  I would think that out of each 10,000 Baht subsidy paid out, it might average out this way:\n\n2000 – Increased Teacher Salaries\n3000 – Increase in Foreign Staff\n5000 – Other School Expenses/Payouts\n\nMuch as I would like to see it split evenly, 5000-5000 for the first two, it probably won’t.  That’s how I see it coming down.  Again, if you see it differently or can think of other ways the subsidy will be spent, I would be interested in hearing.',1,'2012-03-17 01:21:04','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb46.jpg','2012-03-17 01:21:04','2012-03-17 16:04:05'),(8734,'No course and no refund','no-course-and-no-refund','Robert','I finally decided that I wanted to get my Thai teacher\'s license after teaching here for quite a few years.

My recent experience in government schools demonstrates that old-fashion ideas are more important to the older generation than in teaching the children.\n\nI was an English teacher at an elementary school in isaan until the school decided that my supervisor\'s image was more important than the education of the children at the school. Instead of teaching the children full-time as informed, I was taken around as the token white teacher to seminars to teach English to Thai teachers, but really as an object to improve my supervisor\'s image. I was told that I would get a certain amount of money for these events, though I received less.  \n\nI was always told about these seminars at the last minute and never told what would be discussed.  I was offen abused verbally by my supervisor, her calling me \"YOU! Do this!\", even though she knows my name.  While reading something to the group of teachers, my supervisor would suddenly pull away the material if I was not speaking English to her liking.  It must have been silly of me to think that my being born, raised and educated in the USA to the point of earning a Bachelor\'s degree was enough to say that I know something of English. The end came when the director of the school said that it was better I go rather than a polite resolution between my supervisor and I be attempted. So much for an interest in the wellfare of the students.\n\nIf this Thai educator (and many others exist) knows so much about English, why is the government in Bangkok spending millions of Baht for foreign teachers?

After 10  years teaching here, it gets under my skin, too, and makes me question why the rich Thai culture hasn\'t really learned to treat non-Thais with respect and politeness.  The two aforementioned articles talk about some situations that occur due to the MoE\'s inability to implement a practical English program and to treat foreigner teachers properly.\n\nIt\'s my opinion that the MoE must move away from the policy of \'English for everyone.\'  Of course, this idea conflicts with Thai culture in which everyone must do, wear, and say exactly the same things.  With all the seminars that Thai administrators and teachers attend, it\'s beyond me why they still don\'t understand language acquisition.  Receiving one or two periods of English per week doesn\'t amount to much with regards to mastering vocabulary and language structures.  Very little information will be transferred from short-term to long-term memory.  The best classes (every school has them) with the hardest working and most appreciative students should receive multiple periods per week to have successful language acquisition.\n\nOutside of MEP and EP programs, why are government schools fixated on NES teachers doing so much conversation?  From what I understand, the English section of the university exams covers reading, comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar.  No speaking, no writing, no listening, all multiple choice.  The first rule of testing is \'test what you teach.\'  I\'m not saying that conversation isn\'t important or that conversation should be eliminated.  I\'m saying the focus should be on making Thai students better readers if you\'re going to test them in M6 on reading, comprehension, and vocabulary.  But also include conversation and grammar.  Good teachers know how to integrate these skill areas.\n\nIn a nutshell, the ineffectiveness of the Thai education system is rooted in an archaic (but proud) system of  (a) image over substance, (b) top-down management, (c) \'mai pen rai\', (d) xenophobia, and (e) \'losing face\', and (f) the lack of any accountability, reliability, and dependability.

As an aside, apart from the racist overtones, the grammar and spelling in the ad is absolutely appalling. Sadly, while teacher recruitment agencies are allowed to continue in this vein, Thai education will continue to fall apart at the seams.\n\nYours faithfully\n\nRobert J Holmes\nBA Dip Ed LLb LLM\n\nPhil from ajarn.com replies\nHi Robert. Many thanks for bringing the job ad to my attention. Yes, it is racist. Yes, I am every bit as appalled as you are. And yes, job ads like this have no place on the ajarn website. The simple fact is that I missed it. I quickly check the content of every job ad before I post them but obviously I skimmed through this particular job ad a little too quickly this time around.  \n\nThankfully, there are only a handful - literally a handful of job advertisers who I have to pull up for posting job ads stating that they are looking to recruit \'white teachers only\'. But of course it\'s still a handful too many. My normal modus operandi is to then actually call the advertiser on the phone and try to shame them in some way. What\'s unbelievable in most cases is that although the advertiser is genuinely ashamed and promises it won\'t happen again, there are still those who think to put \'white teachers only\' in a job ad is still perfectably acceptable in this day and age. What\'s even more unbelievable is that these people are involved in education. One of the most common \'excuses\' I hear from teacher placement agencies is \"but the school has insisted that I supply them with a white teacher\" I then have to explain to the advertiser that we are living in 2012, etc.\n\nAnyway, the main point I wanted to make is that I do check job ads for this kind of blatant racism. But I missed this one unfortunately. Bad spelling and grammar in job ads? That\'s something completely different. Even though I think it reflects badly on the advertiser and their institute, few non-native English speaking advertisers really seem to care. I\'ve suggested to many non-native English speaking advertisers that they should get a native English speaker to compile and proofread their ads but nothing changes in most cases.

The best course of action is to make a list of the jobs you are interested in or schools/universities/language centres in your area, make a list of their addresses, dress decently and show something that resembles respect for Thai culture (a wai, greet the staff in Thai etc) and you are going to be ahead of the pack.  \n\nEmailing and phoning schools and agencies is a complete waste of your time, so don\'t do it.  You will invariably get an interview or you will speak to a principal by having done the leg work, which is more than probably 60% of your competitors.  The clincher for me was my demo lesson.  I presented to a group of thai teachers (mock students, all ladies!) and just made it fun (sanook), inclusive and got everyone excited.

It\'s up to you, you must follow up after your initial meeting, preferably again in person.  In my time in Thailand I saw so many dead-beat teachers turn up for interviews under-prepared and then wonder why they didn\'t get the job.  It\'s not rocket science.

Three years later, after some trials and tribulations I’m now happily wired into a great school in Bangkok. The company treats their foreign employees well, holds no reservations about having a diverse group of teaching professionals, instructors enjoy a nice salary, good co-workers to work with, and I would not trade any of this for another job. I’m very happy where I am now but will never forget the road I had to take to get here. \n\nHowever, when I read comments like Del’s and see ads like the one that accidentally made its way onto the site, it only opens some of the old wounds and scars I’ve had to experience in the past. \nI have worked alongside people who have sounded very similar to him who openly critiqued foreign teachers of other ethnicities I worked with, and questioning his or her relevant candidacy to a particular position.

Equality is something that he’s apparently not in favor of by his voiced opinion of so called “pampering”. How do you know pampering exists? Are you an employment expert?

This conversion process will probably take another year or so, given that some 2-year \'waiver\' letters have probably been issued earlier this year.

My school is losing a competent non-degreed NES (whose \'waiver\' letter expires the end of August) before Term 1 ends.  An agency has supplied my school with 5 different foreign teachers for M2\'s two MEP classes, and Term 1 hasn\'t finished yet.  Where is the continuity in learning?  How does this help the students prepare for AEC 2015?\n\nThere are some competent non-degreed NES teachers in Thailand, and their exclusion from being job applicants increases the current serious depletion of available NES in Thailand.  Teacher agencies are having a difficult time finding NES for EP and MEP programs because of the implementation of the \'provisional permit\', so this situation will only be compounded in 2013 when more \'waiver\' letters expire for non-degreed NES.\n\nIf Thailand wants its students to learn English by 2015, then Thailand must increase the supply of NES, not decrease it.',1,'2012-08-06 18:02:04','storage/legacy/files/postbox/rtape.jpg','2012-08-06 18:02:04','2012-08-07 09:09:06'),(11858,'Get with the program or fall off the bus','get-with-the-program-or-fall-off-the-bus','Dave','The writing has been on the wall since 2006.

I\'ve only had about two years experience teaching in Thailand and I lived in Bangkok from late 2008 to mid-2010. In my limited experience it was surprisingly easy to find employment without a degree. \n\nWhen I moved to Bangkok in 2008 all I had was a college diploma and a 40 hour TEFL certificate. My first port of call was the agencies, all of which offered me numerous positions across the country. Then I went to the language centres, again the most important thing to them seemed to be my appearance (im 25, blonde haired, blue eyed), which was kind of disconcerning, but i wasnt about to complain.\n\nThroughout my time in Thailand I worked in numerous jobs, a semester here, a semester there and for most of them no paperwork was ever done. I worked in a primary school for one full academic year. They managed to get me a visa, work permit no questions asked.\n\nIve not been in Thailand since 2010, and after reading a bit on ajarn.com, teaching does certainly sound like a much harder thing to get into now. By contrast however, I have a large number of friends in Thailand, teaching English, without a degree. The general consensus from them is that there is a shedload of work out there at the moment and they\'ve had very few problems in finding employment. \n\nI had messaged one friend saying i was heading to Bangkok later this year to do a TEFL CELTA with one of the well known agencies. his reply was: \"Lot\'s of work over here, but choose the school carefully....don\'t even bother with a TEFL certificate.\"\n\nWhen he said \"choose the school carefully\" it kind of made me think about how few qualified teachers must be available to these schools if unqualified teachers can just pick and choose where they want to work? Personally I don\'t think that the situation in Thailand will really change for a number of years. Thai schools will always find a way around whatever regulations are put in place. \n\nI am still heading to Bangkok to study the CELTA after which I\'m studying for a bachelor\'s degree at one of the universities in Bangkok commencing in October. I am absolutely certain that i will still be able to work alongside my studies and have a relatively comfortable lifestyle. So maybe I\'m wrong, maybe it is impossible for me to work out there now, but I seriously doubt it.\n\nAjarn.com says - the question is Rob, is there the \'right work\' for unqualified teachers?

I currently work at a top international school in Bangkok and make 60k amonth with a housing allowance thrown in. Some teachers make around 70-100k here with the same housing allowance and other benefits. I have more of an assistant teacher role with the school and support teachers in the classroom.

My advice is to apply for the top jobs at the best schools and be professional, well-dressed, clean shaven. And always have a good attitude. \n2. Always provide a reference letter from previous employers you have worked for - especially any teaching gigs. \n3. Remember to do your homework on the school via the internet and make sure you have a basic understanding of the schools ideas and philosophies before an interview  ie: mission statement on website, principal message or any interviews you can find from the principal online by searching his or her name, community involvement, news feeds from the school etc etc....\n4. Always make a follow up call to the school or person you sent the CV too and make sure they were able to open your documents from your CV and proceed to respectfully request a time in thier schedule for an interview. \n5. After the interview send a follow-up thank you email first thing next morning so you are on their mind with a polite and professional thank you to all persons that were at the interview.\n\nI have also found that voluntary work is held in high regard so it always helps to have this in your arsenal as I have an eุxtensive service record here.

In fact, this letter is not really about Thailand, it\'s about China. There have been a few letters here suggesting that China is the ESL promised land and that any sensible teacher ought to jump ship and go to China, but my experience of China was nothing short of disastrous. I feel I ought to add my perspective, to add a little balance. \n\nMy partner also did his CELTA in Thailand and after careful consideration, we decided that China offered more opportunity than Thailand. The contracts my partner and I signed were great (equivalent of 50,000 baht each a month plus free housing and bonuses) and we did what we thought was extensive research on the city and company. \n\nI worked in China for eight months of a one-year contract and by God it was a horrible time. In the end we pulled a midnight runner back to Thailand after we discovered that we had been working illegally for the entire time we were there. In addition, a colleague was stopped by police and arrested when his paperwork was found to be not in order and the company we worked for tried to extort a massive fine out of him. They were the ones who faked the paperwork. \n\nThat was the final straw, but during the time we worked in China, we had the terms of our contract broken repeatedly. Our apartment was disgusting. We were lied to frequently over the big issues and the small things. They \'forgot\' to pay us our full salaries every month and we would have to threaten to leave in order to get our full pay. We were actively discouraged from teaching effectively in favour of looking more entertaining to the parents peering in through glass windows. We were isolated - and they attempted to keep us on a very short leash indeed. \n\nOutside of school problems, my partner had the trots for eight months and I was sick for two consecutive months in minus 30 degree winters. The city was polluted, the food very unhealthy and the people were nowhere near as friendly as Thais.  Arriving back in Thailand after our escape was one of the happiest days of my life. People smile at you! When people ask \'where you go?\', it tends to be a middle-aged lady wanting to help you out or practice her English, not a policeman asking what the hell you\'re doing in his country. Basic rules of politness are observed. Oh, it was heaven. \n\nWhat\'s the point of all this on a Thai website? Just a warning to think very carefully before you jump. Chinese schools sponsor and own your visa so getting out of a poor situation is not an easy thing to do.

I have seen some pretty crappy older teachers but some younger teachers were fired from my school recently because they simply did not make the grade. \n\nIn this country, so little is changing except possible more money being thrown at the system. This means that more money is siphoned off while the school gets the cheapest teachers they can and they have their drinking money for the month.

Yes there are numerous incompetent teachers that are hired simply because they are young and attractive. Yes there are numerous schools that simply want to keep up appearances by hiring such teachers. Yes there are older and more experienced teachers that are often better for the job. However, in my short time teaching in Thailand, I have met my fair share of older teachers who have been teaching in Thailand for more than a decade and yet can barely control their class, wander through their lessons aimlessly because they have not set any goals for their students, and are often the most unlikable characters in the staff room. \n\nYour insinuation that school staff members hire cheap teachers so that they can squander the extra money on drinking is uncouth and plain culturally ignorant! Not to mention the fact that you are treading politically dangerous ground by referring to another culture as \"black teachers\". \n\nOf course native English speakers trump Filipinos when a school is trying to keep up appearances but your personal preference of accents has nothing to do with it. I find some British accents more off-putting and incomprehensible than that of a Filipino and the fact that you couldn\'t understand this Filipina\'s pronunciation of the word \"Asian\" (which is pronounced differently in every Asian country) reveals your intolerant and impatient character as well as your inability to think laterally. I spent many years working in Filipino slums with some of the most impoverished people in the world, yet despite their lack of formal education, some of those people are more proficient in English than you, a teacher, who cannot even spell the word \"principal\".\n\nFinally, I am downright infuriated by your insinuation that the only reason that young, blonde-haired, blue-eyed teachers are hired is so that the school staff can \"get some\". \n\nI am 23 years old with blonde hair and blue eyes and I will have you know that I am a well sought after teacher with numerous job offers, not only because school directors may find me attractive but because I have a very good teaching performance record and I am culturally sensitive. If they have found me attractive, I haven\'t allowed it to be a downfall to me. If my looks gained me a demo lesson, great! I proved myself in those lessons and every lesson thereafter. I am not naive and I quit one school very soon after I realized they were only interested in having me on staff as, in your words, \"window dressing\". I quit because there is more to me and my teaching career than that. To insinuate that every young, attractive teacher is interested in making money by that notion is ridiculous. \n\nFurthermore, I am one of those \"serious\" teachers that you mentioned but I also acknowledge the value that is found in educational games and \"learning through play\", which is currently being widely accepted as the preferred method of teaching in the west. Perhaps it would be advantageous to you to try a little harder to make your students happy. Not because their parents are paying their fees to have you on staff but because it has been proven that students absorb information far more effectively when they are, in fact, happy. \n\nYou say that this country will never change but your attitude reeks of someone unwilling to change their ways or adapt to more modern methods of education. I would suggest that the first change you make is towards becoming more culturally sensitive and perhaps willing to please your students and school faculty a little more.

The problem is definitely partly due to the government and schools assuming that native speakers are the only correct option.\n\nYears ago, when I first came to the country to work on a conservation project, then looked for a way to stay here, people told me to teach English, to which I replied that I didn’t know how. “Of course you do - you come from England!” “Well, by that rule, all Thais should be capable of teaching Thai language…” To this, most people then had to concede that they couldn’t in fact teach Thai despite being Thai.\n\nDespite my self-confessed lack of teaching ability, I got a teaching job, and probably messed with a lot of kids’ heads in the early days.

I look back to my own experiences of learning languages at school in the UK - I didn’t see German as very useful - after all, I had never been, and never planned to go, to Germany!\n\nAnd then a big part of the problem still lies with the Thai concept of learning. Someone said that all their students say “I want to learn English”, and yet seem to put in no effort - well, the education system has taught them that ‘learning’ is just remembering a set of facts or figures. They expect that learning a language involves sitting there and letting the teacher pour the language into their brains. The concept of active learning does not exist for most Thai students of English, and that is the fault of the system, not the students.\n\nDespite this, an increasing number of Thai people DO learn to speak and write English very well. Hats off to them for realising what they have to do, and doing it. I will continue to teach as well as I can, because just a few of my students look like they’re turning into those self-motivated learners - and it’s my job to encourage them.',1,'2012-11-05 21:56:01','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb19.jpg','2012-11-05 21:56:01','2012-11-06 12:12:02'),(12618,'Work permit and visa costs','work-permit-and-visa-costs','Kelly','My present employer made the mistake of reading the legal requirements in Thai and translating them for me.

I read your comment about who is responsible for paying for work permit and visas. You state that there is no legal answer and I beg to differ on that. My present employer made the mistake of reading the legal requirements in Thai and translating them for me. They state that all costs of employment should be borne by the employer. But of course that part of the document was not translated into English. Funny that. I understand that you are here to give information that is generally the rule in Thailand but I would hope that you could also do something to shed light on the exploitative nature of the education \"business\" in Thailand. \n\nAnother note on that is that the same document states clearly the minimum salaries for teachers, based on their country of origin. These are also not followed as I have seen so many schools paying much much less. Government schools of course.\n\nThe same employer stated after reading the requirements carefully that I and all fellow American ex-pats should call our embassy to complain about our abusive treatment at the hands of Thai education officers. I told him that sounds nice, if you are in a movie, but in real life the embassy would never \"go to bat\" for us on such issues since diplomacy and trade agreements could be at stake. \n\nOh and, one more thing.. Please try to tone down the mud-slinging at us qualified teachers at International schools. We have our own \"row to hoe\". I and many like me have been illegally fired simply because the \"high quality\" schools we worked for didn\'t want to keep paying us that high salary. Choosing instead to find a fresh recruit or even a volunteer. \n\nThe sad fact is that there are very, very few schools in The Kingdom that are not functioning first and foremost as a business, leaving educational excellence as a marketing phrase only. To put it into a very simple phrase, most international schools in Thailand are only international in the name. Every decision, curriculum, business, human resources, are made by Thais, for Thais, and with only one things in mind - profits for them.\n\nAjarn.com says - I\'m not sure of the laws exactly (if they exist of course) but do you mean the employer is liable for the cost of just the visa or the whole \'visa run\' itself, because that would be a very difficult thing to put a price on. I would certainly like to hear from any other teachers who have read the same set of rules though. Secondly, I\'m not aware of any \'mud-slinging towards international school teachers\' on the website. The true international school teachers - those that earn very good salaries with benefits - rarely / never read ajarn.com anyway. Thirdly, as for \'shedding the light on the exploitative nature of the education business in Thailand\', I think there are enough postbox entries, articles and comments on the ajarn.com website to give anyone a decent picture of how things are here.

I really do feel though that teachers - both Thai and foreign - are exploited in Thailand far too much and that the only way to change this would be for foreign teachers to look elsewhere in Asia and the world for jobs. I believe that by doing this it would force many schools to not be able to offer the programs anymore and the more serious schools would take measures to try and get good workers. The fact that foreigners come to Thailand to teach for 25k-30k a month isn\'t a huge opportunity to be giving up anyway especially when you consider the pay in places like Korea, Japan and even Vietnam. Even for what the international schools pay in many cases isn\'t a great deal if you compare the salaries and benefits to living in the west.

Maybe its because its a big country that houses everything that you\'ll ever need in your lifetime.','On the topic of Thais not generally being able to speak English that well, I\'m not sure teachers can fix this issue, it\'s more of a society thing. As for good or not so good teachers, that self fixes itself if the society thought changes. I have taught English in Laos for three years. The students there are more interested and motivated, and as a result can speak English at a higher level. Why are Laos students more motivated then Thai students ? Well it comes down to the society group thought or lack there of. \n\nIn Laos they have a thirst to talk and communicate with foreigners. They are genuinely interested and eager to learn about other cultures. They are open. Why? I don\'t know, maybe its because its a smaller country, lack of solid national identity, isolated. The desire to travel to other countries, to explore, perhaps a lack of society group thought governed and pushed by their government to instil a particular idea. Maybe the need to expand and grow, to evolve, perhaps a lack of Laos written books/novels/magazines and Laos TV/movies.\n\nIn Thailand they have a genuine disinterest to talk and communicate with foreigners. They\'re generally not eager to learn about other cultures. They are closed. Why? who knows. Maybe its because its a big country that houses everything that you\'ll ever need in your lifetime. No need to go outside the country, to travel, to live. Is it a super-strong instilled national identity? The abundance of everything Thai spoken and written - a strong society group with thoughts governed and instilled by the governing forces to produce a singular idea and path.\n\nIt has to impact daily life to be truly learnt. Do you remember all your secondary education of statistics? or chemistry? Well probably not, because if you don\'t actually use it in your daily life it will be eventually forgotten.\n\nMy thoughts are that Thai students don\'t absorb as much as we\'d like because they never use the English language (no use, no need). Never read, write or communicate in the English language. They are perfectly happy with everything Thai language, which is perfectly reasonable since they have an abundance of material in their language including technology gadgets.\n\nI think there are two basic needs to learn and use the English language. English outside Thailand, and English inside Thailand.\n\n1) English outside of Thailand:\nThis one is tricky. Speaking Thai outside of Thailand, won\'t get you very far. So the obvious blanket answer would be English is the most accepted form of international language from all the countries holistically. Great ! But are your students even thinking about traveling internationally? Living and working in a foreign country? Probably not, even if they say yes, its a half-hearted yes at best. They are young, eyes closed, and everything Thailand, which is reasonable. \n\nSo to give them the need to learn English, you have to open their eyes, show them the world outside of Thailand. The opportunities, the enriching experience, the tastes and delights of foreign cultures.\n\n2) English inside Thailand:\nVery difficult but shouldn\'t be. There are two reasons to speak English inside Thailand.\n\nFirstly, jobs and career ! Seems simple doesn\'t it? You\'d think by simply explaining to your students that if they excel at the English language they will be provided with a greater opportunity in the job market. Their wages will be generally higher, and would have preference over others that can\'t speak English as well.\n\nMaybe try actively showing them the opportunities that lie ahead. Clip job postings for an English speaking/reading Thai national. Create a job board, and continually post the clippings, showing all the different employers, from NGO\'s to government and private institutions. Show the difference of wages. You can do an in-class exercise if you have access to the internet or assigned homework, asking each student to find 5 jobs requiring English and 5 that don\'t. You can bring in guests, either employers or employees explaining a real life application of their English skills in the job market.\n\nAlso actively explain that everyone can get a A+ in English class, or get a degree or certificate without actually learning the subject. It might look good on your CV, and get you an interview, but probably won\'t land you that job when you have to demonstrate your English speaking and writing skills.\n\nSecondly, communicate with foreigners within Thailand:\nThis one is extremely difficult to instil. As it is now\'ish, it\'s kind of like two worlds, no wait, more like three worlds in Thailand. You have Thais that speak with Thais, you have Foreigners that speak with Foreigners, and then you have the Foreigners that speak with Thai bar girls. Three totally separate worlds within one country. The \"average\" younger and middle Thai generation don\'t generally speak with foreigners at all. I don\'t know, its a weird societal singular thought process that is going on. Whether its construed as bad, improper, or whatever. Thais always worry about what other Thais see and think, you have to keep to the norm or fear reprisal.\n\nOpen your students up to the possibilities of engaging in communications with foreigners. Actively explain that foreigners that are traveling here or staying here would love to talk with a normal local outside of the immediate tourism scene. Talk about anything, food, weather, people, activities, daily life, etc. Excite them about learning about other cultures, being inquisitive, exploring worlds with words and pictures. (this one is difficult to instil in your students, I only know that there is a universe of difference between Laos and Thai students, and this being the essential lynch pin of difference)\n\nLong and winded yes, but the Thai culture and logic is baffling.',1,'2012-11-18 22:43:43','storage/legacy/files/postbox/flagwaver.gif','2012-11-18 22:43:43','2012-11-19 12:12:44'),(12896,'When is an NES not an NES?','when-is-a-nes-not-a-nes','Jason','I have heard that South Africans are not NES now, and they have to take an English proficiency test if they wish to teach.

If a teacher in a Thai school questions this \"Mai Bpen Rai\" theory of education in any way, that teacher is removed from the position and barred from the school. I can greatly appreciate the desire to help others \"save face\", but not to have a zero toleration policy for hearing about problems with the schools and preventing improvements.  Even great schools and school systems need improvement simply because life is constantly in change. In healthy environments (all types, including schools) constant improvements are necessary to create success, which is a positive response to life.  But (by and large), Thai schools do not tolerate any level of questioning so improvements (which involves respectful and intelligent questioning) do not take place. \n\nThailand will make a big change in 2015 with the opening of the  ASEAN Community. This change will de disasterous for the average Thai worker if they do not learn English adequately before this time.  According to the ASEAN labor laws, workers from other ASEAN member countires will be able to compete with Thais for jobs in Thailand.  The person who has the better job skills AND better command of English will get the job.  This will a huge departure from the days when Thais had (and will have until 2015) preference over foreigners in terms of getting jobs.  \n\nI hope that Thais learn English soon so they are competitive when 2015 arrives.  This requires a healthy and respectful toleration of problems. Thailand does not know have this toleration, but instead a demand for blind obedience to educators who say that problems (conflict) cannot exist in schools.  What is really happening is that more problems are created and this brings Thailand closer to achieving last place in the ASEAN Community and many, many more problems in Thailand.\n\nA very sad state of affairs, which I hope can be eliminated quickly and productively.',1,'2012-11-27 06:52:04','storage/legacy/files/postbox/flagwaver.gif','2012-11-27 06:52:04','2012-11-27 22:10:06'),(13380,'Teacher dress codes','teacher-dress-codes','Sarah','Don\'t waste your money buying pants.

I have been living and teaching at a private school near Bangkok for about two months and here are my observations on the female teacher dress code.\n\nWhen I first arrived, I was very surprised to find out that, not unlike 1950s Americana, dresses and skirts are the expected, encouraged, and unofficially required of all female staff and faculty at the school.  So, before your first teaching gig, don\'t waste your money buying pants.  Maybe the school you work at will not be as strict with this policy, but unless you have overwhelming feelings about this topic, buy skirts and dresses to be on the safe side.\n\nOn that note, it seems that unlike in the U.S., where this is sometimes stigmatized, wearing short skirts with hairy legs is acceptable.  I have seen many high school and university students sporting this look, and the occasional teacher too.  I have never seen anyone wear pantyhose here; I am very thankful for this, it\'s far too hot out there for such things.\n\nNecklines on shirts should remain high.  Try to avoid showing any clavicle, and cleavage is out of the question. Iron your shirts, or pay someone to iron them.\n\nLike with men, personal body odor is highly offensive here.  This may pose some problems for farangs from cold environments, because you\'ll sweat a lot when you arrive here -- I know I did!  This means you\'ll have to wash your clothes more frequently. The good news is that the clothing here is less expensive than it is in the U.S., so when it wears out from washing, it\'s somewhat easier to replace (if you can find Thai clothing that fits).  Most women here don\'t wear socks with dress shoes, but you might want to think twice about this fashion move if you\'re prone to foot stink. At my school, if a teacher smells of cigarettes, etc., it is a BIG deal.  This is an understatement.\n\nIt\'s not a bad idea to look polished as far as hair and make-up are concerned.  I have noticed that many of the female teachers here are experts in that department,  Still, my hair is usually free-form, and my make-up varies depending on how much time I have to get ready for work.  So far, nobody has complained.\n\nImportant note: Yellow and red are colors for two rival political groups.  Be mindful of your environment when wearing these colors.\n\nI hope this was helpful.

English language aptitude is simply social and economic capital in Asia. Is this not stating the obvious? \n','This letter is in response to \"the darker the skin, the smaller the wage.\" (Ajarn Postbox 4th February 2013)\nThose who are in Asia teaching English need to understand this simple reality: English teaching is a superficial industry. English language aptitude is simply social and economic capital in Asia. Is this not stating the obvious? \n\nThose who can speak English often flaunt it like any other status symbol: a new car, Iphone, etc. English is simply a commodity that is bought and sold. Therefore, English teachers are commodities in Asia paid to attract and retain customers- just as any service worker or performer. English teachers are not there to do groundbreaking research or to change the social and moral norms and civil rights of the country that they are in. English teachers are not revolutionaries or diplomats, even though many would like to believe they are. If anything, the English teacher\'s presence reinforces social and economic structures - oppresive or not. The people with money are the consumers, not the have nots. So for those of you that cannot seem to accept that ESL in Asia is a service/entertainment industry that caters to the rich and fashionable, my advice is move on. I did, and I am at peace with my decision. \n\nI knew, had I stayed in Asia, my \"stock\" would go down every year as I got older, even if I became a better more qualified teacher. Like entertainment and fashion workers, English teachers are the most marketable when young, affluent, attractive and novel. Unfortunately for qualified and competent Philipino teachers, old teachers, fat teachers, ugly teachers and teachers of colour, the ESL industry does not value these people as much. And why would it? The whole premise of ESl in Asia - the fake grades, the rote memory tests, the automatic passes, and the short term employment of the workers are, by and large, a big show. English teachers, escpecially in language schools, are entertainers that are there to display the social norms and capital of their \"prosperous\" culture. But what\'s wrong with that? Many people make their money entertaining others. Windowdressing is not prostitution. \n\nEnglish is taught, bought and sold the same way a major motion picture is at Siam Paragon. You have the actors, the directors, the stage and the audience.  By the end of my teaching stint in Thailand, I likened my classes to one of those medieval restaurants where the patrons dress up in medieval garb, eat giant drum sticks and throw them on the floor when they\'re done. And the more I accepted it as a game, the more the students and administration liked me. \n\nSo for those of you in Thailand scraping by, please remember you are there as an entertainer. Your marketablity is determined before you get there and you\'ll easily be replaced when you go. Enjoy your stay and try not to believe too much in your role. Who knows, with enough patience, you can even make director one day.',1,'2013-02-08 22:27:43','storage/legacy/files/postbox/complaining1.jpg','2013-02-08 22:27:43','2013-02-09 13:01:44'),(13545,'Skin colour and entertainment','skin-colour-and-entertainment','Dave Watson','Filipinos or other teachers who were not born white can, however, also be great teachers.

I do partly agree with Brian that a lot of English teaching is considered entertainment and that many if not most students are not really interested in learning English seriously. Therefore, many teachers are reduced to being entertainers since most schools adopt the no fail policy. As for Lyndsay saying skin colour matters, well this is unfortunately true for many schools. Although I agree that it shouldn\'t be important and that qualifications and experience trump appearance, in Thailand it is still much easier to get a job when you are white. \n\nFilipinos or other teachers who were not born white can, however, also be great teachers. Maybe given more time Thais will start acknowledging this. Finally, it is not a good idea for these teachers to argue their case by sending a letter containing about two dozen mistakes. This negates the case they are trying to make.

It is true I believe that the Thai government is trying to tighten up on qualifications and the type of person that ends up teaching in their schools. It is sadly still true however, that a significant number of people are still teaching in schools that really shouldn\'t be, and I comment on that from the point of view that they don\'t know their grammar and are not really capable of stringing two sentences together.\n\nYes, someone may have a degree but what does that tell you? Are they going to be a good teacher, in most cases probably, they will want to do their best. Sadly in quite a large number of cases you can have someone with a degree who is not going to be a good teacher and someone else without a degree who is a very good teacher, but they will lose out as they don\'t have the coveted piece of paper. \n\nA friend of mine works at a school and is head of English, he doesn\'t have a degree and neither have a lot of the teachers there. The school is quite happy even though a tad illegal but at the end of the day, the students are getting a good education from teachers who know their subject.\n\nThe same colleague recently dismissed two teachers. Unfortunately students asked them a specific grammar question and they had to say they didn\'t know, it came to pass that they didn\'t know a lot about grammar. I suspect that you will all say \"well that serves them right for employing teachers without degrees and knowledge\" it did serve them right but these two teachers had degrees in English too. So what does this tell you, a piece of paper doesn\'t necessarily make you a good teacher you need that special quality.\n\nA lot of people also have a dig at Filipinos who in the main can be good teachers but also some cannot. I recently spent some time in an international school where parents were paying nearly 500,000 baht a year to have their children taught English. The one Filipino teacher couldn\'t string a sentence together correctly and the information signs up in the classroom were so bad I nearly fainted. On the other hand, two classrooms down a Filipino with 20 years teaching under her belt was doing a very good job.\n\nI think what I am trying to say is there should be some common sense attached to the employment of teachers. To all you sex tourists, perverts and other undesirables who trawl the teaching profession here for a salary to fuel your degenerate and pathetic lifestyle here, I hope all is done to rid you from this country and spare the children from your filth and depravity. \n\nTo everyone else who works here illegally and legally I hope you continue to give the students a good grounding in English and lets hope that some common sense prevails. Please let teaching be about the quality of the teacher and not the quality of the paperwork. I know this will annoy a lot of teachers with degrees that have the short-sighted view that anyone without a degree cannot be a teacher, I hope those will take a good look around them and see that actually a degree does not automatically make you a good teacher.

The answer is in the word, \'qualified\'. A degree is a requirement in your own country for any profession; what makes you think it shouldn’t also be a requirement in Asia?\n\nI agree that education ought to be about quality; a degree alone doesn’t guarantee that, but what it does do is guarantee that the holder is in possession of some knowledge gained over a substantial period of intense study, against that of no formal education. I personally received my knowledge from people qualified and knowledgeable enough to give it, not from people who could manage a class, keep them happy and keep the money rolling in. To those of us who earned and received our degrees, I can assure Jonathan that we’re grateful it came from professionals and not from our ex local factory worker who came for a holiday and never went back. \n\nShould we now be seeing the demise of teacher training colleges and Universities in favour of those who think formal education is an outdated requirement? Is the giving of education now to be seen in the light of changing the spark plugs on a car? It’s something you either can do, or something you can’t?  \n\nWhat does a teacher without a degree tell me? Nothing of any value. What it does suggest is that they are probably incapable of finding work within their own countries and if they did, it would probably be related to that of a checkout operator at their local store, or a factory labourer. What then makes people without an education, who are unable to teach in their own countries through lack of a formal education, suddenly become worthy of the title of educator in another? \n\nTo anyone working illegally, without even a degree, (or a fake one); I hope you’re removed as soon as possible back to your country of origin and try to do the same there! As an example; I’m not an engineer and so am not able to secure employment in that sector in my home country; completion of a 100 hour certificate should not enable me to obtain employment in that sector in another country either. \n\nJonathan’s statement that his friend is the Head of an English Department and hasn’t even got a formal education says it all. Where else but in a developing country would that be allowed? I personally find it reassuring that doctors, nurses, lawyers and others in professions aren’t allowed to practice with the equivalent of a three week certificate! \n\nIt is probably for these reasons that Thailand is tightening up on the people who educate their children and I wish them the best of luck.',1,'2013-02-27 07:36:38','','2013-02-27 07:36:38','2013-02-27 22:10:39'),(13600,'Skin color does matter in Thailand','skin-color-does-matter-in-thailand','Sano','I do agree that a language should be taught by a native speaker but it is also important to look at the person\'s qualifications.','My name is Sano and I have been teaching here for more than 7 years.

In their home countries, having an education beyond a simple high school completion, coupled with professional licensing is required to join the ranks of the teaching profession. Why should Thailand (or China / Taiwan / Malaysia / Indonesia) be any different?\n\nYou can\'t be a chef without a 2-4 year apprenticeship. \nYou can\'t be an accountant without proper academic credentials and licensing. \nYou can\'t be an automotive mechanic without holding academic credentials and an apprenticeship of up to 4 years. \n\nReal teachers take 4 years to learn the basics of their craft. They spend additional time each year on professional development and often return for upgrading and honing their skills. 4 years to be a cook, accountant or mechanic; why then should any person with a 100-hour TEFL and who thinks they can speak English, be considered to be a teacher? (you will also notice that the only people, in my experience, who think that uneducated teachers can teach are other teachers who also have no credentials).

Whilst one gentleman has rather ignorantly assumed that I am not qualified to teach the others have, in the main, taken it to heart. I quite agree that there is no real replacement for an education in any field. However, in countries such as Thailand where there is a need for quality teachers, it is getting its fair share of teachers qualified and unqualified who shouldn\'t be anywhere near a whiteboard.\n\nThere are, without any doubt, a large number of qualified teachers ( they have managed to get a degree ) who are of such low quality that they have by sheer default ended up here because no self respecting school in the UK, USA or Canada would let them near impressionable children. It is through this exact same reason you get problems in some of the other professions such as lawyers, doctors and engineers. In all these professions the moron, as someone put it, who managed to stumble and drink their way through university and scribble down enough words to obtain their degree, would end up either killing someone on the operating table ( enough cases of that around the world to fill a book ) send the wrong person to prison ( more than enough of those cases ) or designed a building that eventually collapsed ( plenty of those too ).\n\nSo whilst I agree in the main with whats been said one should not forget that many years ago a degree was not necessary for some of these positions, the humble \"A\" levels were quite key to moving on in some professions. Obviously before some person jumps in steam pouring from his or her ears I am not suggesting that there is a substitute for any education I am merely pointing out that there are some people on this planet that have not had the good fortune to go to university but are more than capable of contributing to an equal level of someone who has gone to university.

Many people grew up in villages where they were required to help their families and start working, and so were unable to complete their formal education. This later impacts their earnings as the pay will be based on where you left education. So enormous effort has been made to provide nationwide access to excellent opportunities for students who as young adults are determined and willing to return to evening classes. This is the most amazing way for young adults to finally complete their school certification process, and the dedication speaks for itself. \n\nI have a class of thirty of the brightest, most hard working students any teacher could wish for. They are all in full-time employment, and make the time to come to class four times a week, so they can proudly finish their thai school years. I am employed for twenty hours a week to teach English, and have been given a lot of freedom in my classes. Their official text books are banded into the level at which they need to gain their Thai certification, and the text books are a guideline with probably too much emphasis on Hello, my name is......\n\nThe Thai students have often studied English for many years and switched off from their endless grammar lessons because they saw no point in learning. With a good teacher based in solid PPP teaching, it is possible to present new material and grammar and let them practice and produce great work. Of course, when they see the real language come alive through speaking and listening activities, their love for English deepens and they take the leap and actually can\'t stop talking English!\n\nLearning what is your name, really only develops staff working in housekeeping, and does not have any real sense of empowering students to talk about their lives, and interests and learn the non Asian skill of expressing opinion. I now have a noisy class of adults talking about what film they saw at the weekend, where they are going next weekend, and what they want to achieve in five years time. \n\nPractical applications for past and future tense, make them see very quickly that grammar brings all their vocabulary alive. \n\nThe reason I write, however, is that the Non Formal Education sector has two additional courses that on paper sound creative and essential. Learning Skills and Sustainable Economy. However, these two course books have been written at Post Doctorate level and translated into diabolical English. The level is far beyond even the best of students. They have no teacher for these two subjects and now, four weeks before their exams, they are in a terrible state of upset as they will be tested on material they can not possibly comprehend. \n\nOf course, I care. If they fail these two papers, all their scores in English will drop and they will suffer from a lowered overall score. How can I help? I can drop all their English hours, and step in and pretend to be Teacher 2, and in four weeks try to translate these two text books, cram them for their exam and with a wing and a prayer get them through this. But, the bottom line, is the very thing they need to establish the potential of getting through these course books, is English, and this now has to be stopped. Yes, I can see the irony. And yes, I am pretty furious about this. I did not agree to a job teaching a theoretical social and economic model that is based on Thai agriculture policy and religion. And of course, I am not equipped to do this. \n\nAre there any teachers in the NFE sector that are currently faced with the same concerns, and if so, please advise me how, on earth to manage this.

I can assure you that my comments at least were not intended to be “trumpet blowing” or “hate filled”. They were simply observations that only in developing countries could a non-degree holder pass themselves off as a teacher. Surely, if the job requires only oral English capabilities, then all may apply and accent, vocabulary, plus pronunciation can be taught by any native English speaker, (or passing tourist). Perhaps Jonathan fails to realise this and is a little perplexed as to why the Thai government and education authorities are slowly realising that non-professional and/or non-degree holders shouldn’t be educating those that aren’t either?  \n\nAs for Facebook, I’m afraid that I personally wouldn’t go near that site and as for obtaining information for a place like that, enuf sed, u no Wot i mEan?

The title and academic award(s) surely reflects the capabilities and training? \n\nJonathan suggests that those here for a depraved lifestyle should return to their countries of origin. Unfortunately Jonathan, this I suspect is where many of the non-degree and non-professional teachers are recruited from. They are not returning home because Thailand is one of the few places left where they can pass themselves off as ‘teachers’. The Thais at last are perhaps beginning to realise this?\n\nThis dumbing down of professional and academic achievements is, in my opinion, an emerging trend in western societies, where equality now triumphs over professionalism.

They assume a level of competency that few attain, given the ‘happy happy’ method of teaching and the no-fail emphasis. We’ve all I suspect had this problem and the problem solving ball is now firmly in your court.\n\nTake the sustainable economy question; what is a sustainable economy? Why is it in a country’s best interests to have one? How can overall production be improved to make a country self reliant? Given that Thailand is a rice producer and exporter, what type of rice growing, wet or dry, does it have and why? What is a trade deficit? \n\nThese sorts of questions might appear on a test examination; an hour or two spent on the internet will give you the basics of the subject, from which you can make lesson plans and try to second guess what might be asked. Keep things pretty basic, at the level of your students and bring in thinking skills, so that they also continue to question themselves about the subject and gain further knowledge.\n\nThis is where your teaching skills come into it, researching an unknown subject at a basic level and presenting the sort of information you get in a factual examination preparation way. Perhaps it isn’t what you were contracted to do, but it is a challenge and one which you too will learn from. If you can do this, I’d say you would be confident enough to teach any subject, anywhere and your professionalism will certainly increase in the eyes of those in the school hierarchy who have suddenly abandoned you. \n\nGood luck to you and although my comments are simply suggestions; take a deep breath, spend a sleepless night researching on the net and you should have enough information to develop a small series of knowledgeable lesson plans by the morning.',1,'2013-03-01 07:56:01','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb1.jpg','2013-03-01 07:56:01','2013-03-01 23:11:02'),(13614,'The final word','the-final-word','Jonathan','Of course there is never going to be anything that will replace a good education but there will always be room for that helping hand by intelligent people wherever they may be.

I taught in several schools in several different towns and cities in Thailand for just under five years. I did my fair share of moaning and grumbling about the system there. How the Thais treated us, with utter contempt. And when the opportunity arose to relocate to Vietnam, I took it. After arriving here I did send a small post saying what a breath of fresh air it was being here and getting away from the Thais and their bad manners amongst other below par traits  \n\nYes, I knew the dust had to settle here and to learn from scratch how these people tick. After being here one year now, I can honestly say Asians are the same throughout Asia. They might do certain things different, due to the cultural differences. But deep down, they’re all the same. To give a small example, it changed from me being called a FARANG to me being called YOU. I’ve found Vietnamese to have the same mentality as the Thais. And after talking to many traveling teachers that have taught in China, Laos, Korea and other countries. I’ve come to the conclusion, it doesn’t matter where you are in Asia. You will experience the same problems we all experience in Thailand.  \n\nSo, if your thinking the grass is greener on the other side, IT’S NOT. Yes, we have to put up with ill educated Thais thinking they are superior to us and treating us as such. But unfortunately if we want to live in their land and enjoy their freedom of living, there’s not a lot we can do.

So many people inspired me along the way, fellow teachers, ex teachers friends and total strangers. Thailand first touched my heart and introduced me to the most basic of Buddhism more than twenty five years ago. (Koh Samui was a lush magnificent tropical jungle then, as it still is now). I went back to the UK and was fascinated by the whole possibility of a completely opposite to all I knew way of life. Suddenly less was more, and the call from my heart was to try to live a more simple life, not more complex. \n\nAnyway, something called me to come back and say thank you. I was never particularly pro the concept of English teachers in a foreign country and thought maybe it was some leftover form of colonialism, our way is better. The truth is many people really want to learn a second and often third language. It turns out I had the courage to be able to stand up in a classroom and deliver some inspiration or at least be persuave why learning could be fun and over the year my focus was pure and simple, how to be really the best teacher I could be. \n\nIt was an extraordinary year, living in some absolutely ghastly places, (one house a school provided, actually had no back door), and being at the bottom of the food chain in a profession that is a business. I have no idea why I at times was so completely unhappy and disasatisfied with the politics of the profession, and yet, so completely sure that I was tapping into some really sweet gift that I had no idea I had been given. \n\nSeeing students love learning, love each other and be willing to give up so much to try something new, has shaken up everything I think right now about everything. It is always been hard for me to fit into corporate systems, on the one hand I am totally passionate and out there giving my all, and then I am supposed to be meek and subordinate. I am reminded that I am if not an excellent teacher, I am certainly an excellent insubordinate! I have been trusted to totally do my own thing, and have respected that trust and worked hard to ensure that my own thing, followed really good learning principles.

I hope that they will not look at the color of the skin when they hire ESL teachers. They can hire whites, blacks or Asians. It doesn\'t matter. What is important is that they should look at the qualifications.','It was my first day in school. I just signed up as an ESL teacher in an international school in Phnom Penh, Cambodia to augment my income in the university in Battambang, Cambodia where I\'ve been teaching for three years now. I was assigned to teach Level 10 ( Intermediate) class. I asked one of the students for her opinion regarding the topic. She replied, \"Can\'t speak English. Don\'t know English.\"\nI encouraged her by saying with a smile, \"Teacher Pablo believes in you. Don\'t worry. I will definitely understand you.\"\n\nOn my way home I can\'t help but compare my school with another school in Battambang, Cambodia. My school has a reputation for hiring only native speakers. In fact, I am the first Asian ESL teacher in that school. In spite of that I\'ve heard several students say that they can\'t speak English.\n\nCOERR Language Skills Center in Battambang only hires locals. They don\'t have any foreign teachers. They don\'t even have Filipino teachers. The big difference is that I\'ve met a lot of students at COERR who are in level 7 and they are really conversant in English. This proves that the need to hire native teachers of English  is a must is wrong.It is just a myth. What schools need to do  is to hire competent teachers.\n\nLet\'s take the case of the Philippines for example. I never had native English teacher since the first time I entered school. I learned English in a public school and with Filipino teachers. In fact, the Philippines never hired foreign teachers. The only time that the Philippines had American English teachers was in 1901 when the U.S. government sent 500 trained teachers to the Philippines. That\'s just it. After that we were practically on our own.\n\nThe difference? The American English teachers who went to the Philippines in 1901 and the teachers at COERR know pedagogy. They were and are trained teachers. While most of the native American teachers here are plumbers, electricians, gardeners or waiters whom I guess are having difficulty finding jobs in the U.S. probably because of lack of qualifications. Those who are really trained and qualified American English teachers would rather go to China, Japan or Korea where they can earn 3,000 to 4,000usd. American ESL teachers here in Cambodia earn 800usd to 1200usd. \n\nI am not giving up. This is the reason why I really enjoy my teaching job at UME (University of Management and Economics) in Battambang. Cambodia. I am sure that my students will sooner or later become school administrators. I hope that they will not look at the color of the skin when they hire ESL teachers. They can hire whites, blacks or Asians. It doesn\'t matter. What is important is that they should look at the qualifications.

Also, there are always two sides to every story. After having been here for over 12 years, I find that some schools are a great fit and others are not so much.  \n\nWhen stuck in a position where the school is not appreciating the teacher’s effort, or the teacher is not appreciating the school, it is best to find a better “home” or, quite simply, time to make a change. And, IMHO, labour courts don’t always offer the long-term satisfaction (or short term results) one desires but they do serve a valuable purpose.\n\nTo say this type of situation is a “Thai thing” is disingenuous because we have all read to the “horror stories” of teaching in China or Korea.  In addition, all you need to do is read CNN, BBC or any other news outlet from the U.S. and U.K. to see the battles and bitterness surrounding education/teaching there (vocal parents with an agenda, overcrowded classrooms, lack of resources, learning-disabled or emotional unstable students, teachers being paid based on standardized test results, schools losing funding or being closed based on standardized test results, teachers without qualifications being hired by local education boards, and teachers prior to obtaining tenure being forced out for nebulous reasons…the concept of tenure itself is under attack).  \n\nRacism, or judging one by their appearance, is also not a uniquely Thai attribute. I grew up in an area of outright racism…violent, ignorant racism…  Regardless, judging someone based on the color of their skin, their sexual orientation, their religion, their economic status, etc. is wrong whatever the location or industry (or reasons).  \n\nI spent years “preaching” equality but, in the end, it came down individual connections that changed people’s thinking.  All I can suggest is to focus on changing each individual’s perception rather than feeding into their preconceived (and wrong-headed) notions.  Nothing that is said will change a person’s mind until they meet someone that defies what they believe to be true.\n\nFinally, I don’t believe the finger can be pointed just at agencies since there are good and bad agencies just as there are good and bad schools…or even good and bad teachers.  Each situation, teacher, agency, and school is unique.  \n\nJust as some schools are not a good fit for a teacher, some agencies are not as well (and vice-versa).  The truly bad agencies don’t stay in business in the long run…and the truly bad schools change their tune after “too much bad press”...and the truly bad teachers end up leaving because they can’t find gainful, stable employment.\n\nI wish teachers the best of luck but if you are an experienced, qualified teacher then employment will be quite easy to find.  Go out there and find a more positive working environment but remember to leave the past (experience) behind you. \n\nDon’t bring any animosity into a new job…judge the new position based on what it is…new and unique..a chance to start fresh and show them who you are and what you can do.',1,'2013-04-20 05:10:27','storage/legacy/files/postbox/complaining1.jpg','2013-04-20 05:10:27','2013-04-20 20:08:28'),(14433,'Go to labor court','go-to-labor-court','Kru Anon','The labor court can be your best friend if you think you are being unfairly dismissed from your teaching job.','In response to Isabella\'s letter (\"How to take legal action\", Postbox 19th April) unless it\'s Bangkok, take a Thai translator with you and visit the nearest labour court.

The school then decided to pay all of the foreign teachers for May. This was good news, however they stuck by their decision not to pay us for April.

Last September when I left, the kids and teachers were genuinely upset that I was leaving, and I was quite sad myself but I had made my decision. In fact I flew home after my last day. The kids made me cards, bought me presents and we had a fantastic last day - one I will always remember.\n\nMy job there was to teach English, maths and health which I enjoyed tremendously. A minority of the kids were hardworking and as we all know the rest were lazy and sometimes disruptive. It was an intensive programme so I had the kids all day. I just had the two classes which meant I had to do something to encourage the kids to work and a full day of English and maths needs breaking up. In England I was a fully qualified rugby league coach plus I had served with the Royal Marines in England. Now all of you teachers who need a helping hand to get your kids motivated read on.\n  \nThe thought of using another book for health would tip most people over the edge so I told the kids that if they all gave maximum effort in English and maths I would take them outside and do some real exercise. Well the kids jumped at this idea. Here we are, books away, going down to the covered area used for assembly for our first session. The excitement was bubbling over and the kids were too. After a while they calmed down. I had already planned their exercise routine for that morning so I put them into four teams sat them down and explained what we were going to do, so far so good. About fifteen minutes into our exercises they started messing about so I took them back upstairs and got their books out. Lots of complaining and whingeing followed. I then explained that behaving during the exercise period was also a requirement not just for me but for their enjoyment. The next day down again and low and behold the smart kids got them in teams, sat down and we never looked back.\n \nMy classes were mixed boys and girls and the girls were just as keen as the boys. we would do a set routine running, different exercises for one hour. Thai kids don\'t do any real keep fit stuff and this new thing that they had been introduced to was not only tiring but they were getting fit and having fun.  After a few days they would walk down in a line get into teams sit down and give maximum effort without any messing about. In the end we even had a big audience of parents and passers by each time we went out.\n\nEvery day after that the smart kids helped the other kids with their maths, everybody got involved in English and the class was fantastic. Never had I seen such a transformation in kids in a Thai school. As soon as I walked into the class it was what time is health? Same answer - once maths and English were finished.\n\nThese kids passed every test I set them after our keep fit regime started.

Let me explain why. We Filipinos were already familiar with the use of Latin writing symbols from the Spanish colonization of around 300 years. That made it easier for Filipinos in the past to learn English. If we had kept and used our own writing system the \"Baybayin\" today, then maybe things would be different. So in a way, we were \"lucky\" to have the Spanish and Americans colonize our country, so we could discard our original writing system.\n\nAs for teaching English here in Thailand or Cambodia, no matter how competent teachers are, English cannot be learned in school alone. Even if you\'re the most effective English teacher in the whole world, a student will only learn English to full extent if he/she uses it outside of the classroom. There should be a lot of exposure to the use of English. So to learn English much more quickly, they usually go abroad in exchange programs, or find a way to interact with foreigners here all the time, or strictly read and watch English books and movies. \n\nThe difference will be on how the governments of each country adopts the use of the English language. Take for example Singapore, a country whose natives use at least 3 different languages, Chinese, Malay and Tamil. But they have higher English literacy because their government pushes the use of English not only in schools but in other forms such as signs, billboards, newspapers, government forms and many others. Maybe in bigger cities here such as Bangkok it is somewhat being implemented, but how about in the provinces? Maybe that explains why students in bigger cities tend to have higher literacy in English?\n\nI am happy for you though Mr. Gravoso, and I hope you do well and have a great time in Cambodia. Of course I agree with you that we need competent teachers with qualifications, but in a country where there is less supply of it, they will still put people to fill those empty slots no matter how dumb they are. I just want to point out that all these problems of English literacy is not to blame on us teachers alone but to the environment our students live and breathe during their daily lives out of the classroom as well.',1,'2013-05-06 00:04:00','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb34.jpg','2013-05-06 00:04:00','2013-05-06 15:03:02'),(14733,'The world is full of great people','the-world-is-full-of-great-people','Damien','Well, I was happily getting my connecting bus to the North when I realized that my wallet had gone - pick-pocketed.

Certainly there are exceptions to this, but what I have written is generally true.  Farangs are present in Thai schools for for the same reason people paint their houses - for show.  Any farang who is seriously interested in helping in the schools is considered a threat to those corrupt teachers and administrators who gain much financially and seeming think about little else.

Sad\n\nAjarn.com replies - I think you\'re losing sight of the status quo. The long list of job ads on ajarn.com - which happens every May and June - is because it\'s the start of the new school term and schools of all kinds, not just government schools, need teachers. And there aren\'t enough decent teachers to go round. OK, there will always be a percentage of schools who are changing teachers for the sheer sake of it, but in many cases, there are teachers - particularly the younger generation - who never intended to work here beyond a year or maybe two and they are returning home or possibly moving on to another country. Then there are the teachers leaving because they fancy a change of scenery and those teachers who are simply calling it a day and retiring or doing something else.

Perhaps the reason is not so much the number of jobs available, normal at this time of year, but the pay scales, long hours with extra curriculum activities and working conditions which have produced them? The high cost of living in Thailand means that for most people, 25k to 30k is not enough to live on and will appeal to the younger generation arriving for the ‘experience’. That, in my opinion, is why the more experienced teachers are now largely absent.\n\n“Change of scenery” and “calling it a day” wouldn’t happen so much if the Thais were less discriminatory with the older generation of teachers and valued experience over ‘looks’? China for instance generally pays twice the amount for half the hours that the Thais pay for, (with paid holidays), for experienced teachers and with both Vietnam and Myanmar now beginning to open up, the Thais do seriously need a re-think.',1,'2013-05-23 19:10:26','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb19.jpg','2013-05-23 19:10:26','2013-05-24 10:10:27'),(14750,'Ageism alive and kicking in Thailand','ageism-alive-and-kicking-in-thailand','Stephen Salter','What is it with Thai schools and younger teachers?

Ads for teachers must be under 30 years old. What is it with Thai schools and younger teachers? I left Thailand last year after teaching here for almost 7 years. I am 56 this year and would no doubt be struggling to get a job. I started my life after leaving school with the required A and O levels, then serving my country with the marines.

Long story short, I got the job and the teachers were very impressed with my teaching, the way I prepared lessons for the kids, I always made them interesting and fun and the students really enjoyed them apart from the usual suspects and we have all had those dummies who have no interest in learning anything unless it plays music or they can text with it.\n\nOne thing I will say is I thoroughly enjoyed working in a Muslim environment, the kids were smarter, more eager to learn and would compete against each other to speak excellent English. My Mathyom 6 classes were very clever students, there were some non Muslim students but they had to pass a test in Mathyom 4 if they wanted to stay there, if they failed the test they had to leave the school.\n\nThe Thai teachers really warmed to me after I proved to them I was a good teacher who really did care about doing a good job. After all this, my age didn\'t seem to be a problem anymore and was offered contracts to stay and work for them direct. Just goes to show that age is a bonus, as knowledge comes with age.

Asked about the school’s services, a Thai faculty member, who asked not to be named said, “most of what is happening now is all for show.” ','A well regarded school, a school with a beautifully rich history, is now perceived as something else. Asked about the school’s services, a Thai faculty member, who asked not to be named said, “most of what is happening now is all for show.” The school has recently undergone an addition to the roof of one building where the new English Program will be housed. What is lacking are nearby bathroom facilities. Currently the closest toilet is more than 100 meters away. When asked about this apparent oversight, one Assistant Director said, “...[the students] can use the other bathroom.” The use of this already overused bathroom clearly represents serious deficiencies in the schools respect for feminine hygiene and it gives evidence of the growing administrative problems at the school. Certainly a far cry from the vision of the school’s founder.\n\nFor this question and a myriad of others; the current students, their parents and of course the alumni are owed credible answers. This will require accountability. There is a pattern emerging; what can only be called “cotton and wool thinking.” This pattern is mystifying at best and at times almost comic. What has become clear to my colleagues and me is that there is nothing funny about what school officials are doing to the students who are all that stand between the school’s greatness and its downfall. \n\nThis is not an effort to describe the tough working conditions at this school. It is about the assault on basic educational principles and its impact on the students who stand as a bright spot in a school not at all like it once was. I am confused by this because it is an institution that has always stood as a well regarded school in Thailand, attracting some of the very best. Young students who hope to attend do so because they want to learn. You can see it in their faces and in the size and number of their school bags. It is unforgivable to see these students being relegated to irrelevancy for the sake of saving money on a bathroom!\n\nIn addition to the lavatory woes, the coming school year will see some major changes in the way that foreign faculty members are managed and hired. The Director and her staff have made an arrangement whereby native english speaking faculty members will be hired at bargain-counter prices while the parents will continue to pay the standard rate. The glowing question is: who will benefit from hiring sub-par teachers at bought-for-a-song prices? I should but will not (against my better judgement), point fingers; there are just too many fingers to point. However, the wisdom of hiring an entire group of new “teachers” while making redundant the professionals who are dedicated to their students, smells of a corrupted agenda. \n\nAs it is, the school receives up to 50,000 Baht per month or more for Intensive English teachers and will now pay the new teachers only 32,000 Baht. The latter figure might work well with a conversation teacher - MIGHT! Can we be sure that these teachers, who are required to instruct students in reading, writing, and grammar, will provide a valuable education? Will these individuals even be credentialed?\n\nThere is also the issue that most of the native English speaking faculty members did not receive their government mandated social security benefits until the 29th of March; nearly one full year after the beginning of their employment.  This glaring discrepancy causes me to ponder what the school has done with those monies it has withheld. And what does it say about an employer that does not value and protect employee rights?  Is setting a tone of willful disrespect and utter contempt for the law beneficial to anyone? \n\nWhat do we hope for our future? Something as ambiguously important as ensuring the honorability of an honorable school is an ideal we should all hope for. The reputation of our schools and the students who attend them is paramount in preserving the dignity of a Public Education which is seemingly falling apart at the seams.

To tackle the problem, the ministry has drawn up some measures to restructure the system. \n\nEducation Minister Phongthep reveals that Thailand, each year, spends up to 20 percent of its annual budget on education, like other developed countries which spend a large amount of money on education and focus on human resource development. Despite a tremendous amount of money Thailand has put into its educational system, the minister says the result is still unsatisfactory. However, he says the ministry has drawn up some solutions to the problem such as changing students’ and teachers’ perspectives by urging them to think and analyze instead of memorizing known as “rote learning”. \n\nThe minister further reveals that Thai students desperately need to improve their English language, especially the listening and speaking skills, in which Thai students are far behind those students in other ASEAN countries. The ministry will, therefore, bring in more English-speaking teachers to teach Thai kids. Mr Phongthep adds that there are both crisis and opportunity for Thailand in entering the ASEAN Community. Therefore, Thai students need to learn all aspects about ASEAN and turn that crisis into opportunity for the sake of the country. \n\nSo can someone please tell me why if he realizes that the Thai education system and standards are well below par and need to change. Why is he bringing out new rules stating that if you do not have ED or education on your degree and do not try to better yourself you will not be allowed to teach in Thailand? \n\nI have a PhD how can you get higher than that in computer science and a masters degree as well as being a native English speaker. I am also qualified in teaching TEFL and special needs children with learning disabilities and i have been a teacher for over 10 years, 3 of which have been in Thailand. If the minister for education enforces this silly rule, a huge portion of the teachers already here will be affected and he will damage the education system even further than it is now. Where is the logic in what he is doing because I can not see any at all.\n\nLets face the reality of the situation here in Thailand....Thai students are only taught grammar in schools and universities which does not teach you how to speak and the level of English speaking is very poor even in the best schools. I am sure you will agree that the processes which we have to follow already to just work here are very expensive, arduous and difficult for everyone who teaches here as it stands today. \n\nMaybe if he supported the foreign teachers more by making it easier instead of making things even harder than they already are and change the stupid no fail policy for students he would do more good. \nThe no fail policy only damages the education of students because they have no incentive to learn and they play the system because they know they will not fail.\n\nI like teaching in Thailand but if it gets any harder i will not stay here it is just not worth the hassle and i wonder how many other professional teachers will do the same. I think he should focus on more important issues so that Thailand will not be at the bottom of the ASEAN education list, instead of making things worse as he is doing now.\n\nMaybe if he asked the foreign teachers what their views were he would have a greater understanding of the difficulties we face as teachers here and how things could and should be instead of cutting the throats of the professionals who want to see Thai children learn and improve their rational though processes and reasoning skills as well as their standard of education. \n\nSo come on Mr Thepkanjana get with your own program and look at the real problems here instead of causing more.

However, the opposite is also true.  Some schools have been formed with the express intention of attracting students through apparent connections and links to universities.  This connection is little more than a tenant and landlord arrangement, yet the schools will openly advertise themselves with the name of the university on whose grounds they rent buildings and sell courses to local parents, believing their children will receive the best quality education and facilities.\n\nIn Southern Thailand there are a number of cities that attract foreign teachers because of their proximity to popular holiday destinations like Koh Samui.  Most of the schools in these areas are conscientious and the administrators are genuinely interested in the welfare of both staff and students.  Other schools in these regions pray upon the common beliefs that universities offer higher levels of education, are prestigious and vehicles for future success.  The idea of working at a university, even if the school is simply a primary school built on a remote corner of the university grounds, is appealing to many.  This is a false premise and everyone, no matter how experienced they are teaching in Thailand, needs to be cautious.\n\nOne particular school, on the grounds of a university in Southern Thailand, has now lost most of its Native English Speaking Teachers.  This is due to regular and significant delays in paying staff their legally entitled salaries (monthly too) with little more reason than someone \'forgot\' to sign the cheques.  It is due to constant harassment about petty bureaucratic matters when serious educational matters, classroom conditions and resources are ignored month after month, year after year. It is due to the utter indifference the director and other senior administrators have for teachers in general and foreign staff particularly.  It is due to the poor salary and the fact that teachers are required to pay 5000 baht for work permits that most other schools arrange at their own cost.  It is due to the thousand and one nuisance tasks that have little to do with education.\n\nYou have probably read this already but I need to repeat it.  DO YOUR HOMEWORK.  Check the school\'s hiring patterns.  Many teachers subscribe and would be happy to offer opinions about particular schools.  Be sensible. If foreign staff turnovers are high its for a reason, and its usually negative.  Check how often schools appear to be hiring and if they are hiring continuously \'out-of-season\'.\n\nThailand can be a wonderfully rewarding place for teachers.  It can also be a dismal and unhappy place if you are working for an employer who doesn\'t care about either the outcomes for students or morale of staff.

I duly arrived at 10.30 am. He also told me beforehand that I would have to give a 15- minute demo. No big deal - just to see if the students could understand me. And he told me I would probably be offered the contract anyway. \n\nSo I arrived at 10.30 am and meet the head. He never even bothered to shake my hand, which I found strange, and took me over to a building where I was told to wait and “make myself at home”\n\nThere was nothing in the room except a computer so I got on it and thought I could find something out about the school or prepare the lesson I was going to give. I had planned to teach something about Pythagoras and maybe Sin, Cos, Tan. \n\nThe Thai maths teacher arrived, showed me a book and asks if I can teach it. I look at it and say yeah fine no problem. He then asks me if I want to prepare for the lesson. I say no, given what I have been told, the interviewers just want to see “if they can understand me” \n\nI say right I am ready to go.

They stop me. “Can you teach from the book?” Well, no sorry I can’t because I have never been told to teach you from the book. If I had known, I would have asked for the book in advance so I could give you the right lesson plan. \n\nSo then the Thai teacher takes over but the kids seem completely demotivated. They do not for instance even attempt the examples I have given them on the board. \n\nThen time is up and we walk out but they want me to teach another class. I walk into the second class. I flick through the book and choose a percentage exercise. Forty minutes later, I have finished 4 questions and I am getting the students to do the answers which in my experience is always the best - especially in Maths And I get people who are not participating to come up to the board and do the example in the book.\n\nRemember I had less than a minute to prepare for the lesson. I get some laughs, the students seem to enjoy it. \n\nI go downstairs to the room I was put in before and there are two Thais in there. I\'m expecting the final part of the interview. Did I get it the job or not? Instead they ask me to go outside because they “are eating lunch”. I mean in a supposed good school I am thinking to myself WTF? Talk about disrespect. No wonder they are struggling to find teachers. \n\nI go outside and talk to some teachers. Eventually the maths teacher emerges and we go back into the room and he says “Tell me about your experience”. I am confused. Did you not get my CV? Oh, it is upstairs. I say well would you like to get it? I mean talk about lack of professionalism. \n\nHe then asks me if I have taught Mattayom 4 and 5 Maths. I say no but it says that clearly on my CV. I have taught Mattayom 6 English and Maths to Mattayom 1 and 2. The transition should not be too difficult. With no preparation I gave a good demo lesson. With preparation it would have been better. He says he will get back to me.\n\nI then phone the foreign head teacher twice and ask him to see me out of the school and let me know what is going on. I finally leave and later the foreign head sends me an sms to tell me I did not make the grade - and I then tell him what I think about him and the school and the treatment I have received. Everything he has told me is wrong. It was not a 15-minute lesson “to see if they could understand me” but a full-on lesson expected to be taught from the book. \n\nI am simply amazed that some schools, even supposedly good ones operate like this and I’m in no doubt why they struggle to find themselves teachers. It is clear that there are deep problems in many schools where they do not give a damn. Maybe if they gave us the right information we might have a chance.

You may talk about the no fail policy, however I feel that is just one part of the bigger picture.

','In reply to the letter from Keith about parent power (Postbox, 17th July) there is little one can say other than it surprises me more and more that these letters are written. I was of the opinion that most teachers in Thailand would be aware of how the education system currently works and shouldn\'t be surprised when this type of incident happens.\n\nThe one thing I think that the teachers concerned should be thankful for is that the day concluded without them being dismissed from their jobs. I know that comment seems harsh but in truth laughing in front of students parents and senior Thai staff is the one action you don\'t do.\n\nOf course it is difficult for us to understand the point of it all, but at the moment that is how the system functions. I work in Bangkok teaching conversational English in the mainstream part of a government primary school, I have 720 plus students and only see them for one hour each week. Anyone would say this is a waste of time and to a large extent it is, but, I do my best and there are some bright buttons in each class and there are also autistic students and those with other issues. All I can do is try and some of the children benefit there is no doubt. So, I plod on and try to come up with fun things while still trying to get the focus on the academic topic.\n\nThe problems of Thai education system are far from simple and the problems of learning English are not free from serious issues. You may talk about the no fail policy, however I feel that is just one part of the bigger picture. Until the Thais get round the idea that they really do need help from westerners not much progress will be made. The Ministry of Education need to employ westerners to help with the preparation of the countrywide tests to prevent the embarrassing situation which I suspect most teachers have experienced where a Thai teacher has asked for guidance about a question and you read it and either it makes no sense, there is more than one answer, there are no correct answers or any answer will do depending on what the exam writer was thinking at the time. If you then move on to the Thai companies that produce educational books, Pailin and the like until they employ westerners to proof read their product the Thai children will continue to be exposed to endless mistakes. I found a spelling mistake only last week in a child\'s dictionary. Mechanic was spelled Machanic. Where there is one mistake there will be more.\n\nWe can then move on to Thai life in general; stores and malls need to take their attempt at English more seriously and that doesn\'t mean asking the Thai with the English degree unless its from a western university because that just perpetuates the cycle, Big C\'s sign saying \"Weight Food Here\" that doesn\'t help.\n\nThis may sound harsh but the problem is Thais are so proud, I respect that but please understand Thailand there is nothing wrong with asking for help. I can assure Thailand there are many people here that want to help you just give them a chance to do that and by giving them that chance you will give your children the chance they need to achieve a better life for themselves.\n\nTo all teachers out there please don\'t be discouraged do your best even if you think \"What\'s the point\" there will be those children that do understand what you said and then from that more will pick up little snippets, but if you give up then you have failed not only yourself but the children that where listening to you and wanted to learn.

What I find difficult is the fact that no matter how much I accept and try to adapt to Thai ways of thinking it always comes back to the fact that Westerner are not appreciated for the skills we bring to Thailand and Thai attitude changes like the wind changes direction. \n\nThe Thai people could learn so much from other cultures but always seem to think that their way is always the best way and refuse to accept it when they are wrong. It is no disgrace to ask for help quite the opposite it shows wisdom and strength. The attitude of some, not all of the Thai people is terrible and borders on abusive and blatantly unsociable, This would be totally unacceptable in other countries and societies throughout the world. Before the systems can change here the Thai people have to understand and accept that they are not always correct and learn how to accept help from more experienced professionals. Lets face it we all proof read and correct Thai teachers work or writing because it is mostly wrong but we have to educate the teachers also.\n\nThought processes and attitudes can be changed and a country can grow not only in wealth and prosperity but in ways that encourage cultural awareness and being a part of a more tolerant society toward other nationalities. I have witnessed first hand the good and bad attitudes of Thailand and it really needs to be reformed because in 2015 the ASEAN community will be expecting a fair and equal opportunity to be shown to their countrymen when coming to Thailand to work or to do business.\n\nIf Thai attitudes and systems do not change then there will be a massive problem on the horizon because other nations will not accept this behaviour. Sometimes we all have to take a step back and view the world in a different light. Lets hope Thai people can do the same and start to realize that there are consequences to everything and sometimes we have to accept that others are right and be aware of our limitations.\n\nI have in my career both as a teacher and a lecturer in schools and universities around the world seen good and bad teachers. Some respect us for what we do and the skills we have; others are defensive because they are ineffective at teaching and see us as a threat. That kind of thinking only damages and weakens a society and in my opinion it has to stop now because there is only one loser in that scenario and that is the future generations of students and people. It does not matter if they want to learn or not we are professionals doing a difficult job that has to be done.\n\nAll we ask for from the Thai people is the respect and human dignity as well as the right to have an opinion on matter\'s that relate to us and our job.

During the second week of the semester, when I wrote a topic on the board, Mrs. T left my classroom, fetched some notebooks from another classroom, shoved them in my face and said, “You didn’t teach this topic to the other class!”\n\nIn one particularly busy week that included holidays, visa runs, Teacher Appreciation Day and a seminar or two, some classes were not taught certain topics nor did they receive make-up classes. 99.99% of the people in education understand this and are cool with this.  Indeed, they discovered this a long time ago.  But for Mrs. T, interrupting her team teacher’s lesson and sternly demanding an explanation is standard operating procedure.\n\nSo I realized at that early stage she was going to be difficult.  As the semester progressed, I also discovered she was a micromanager and a control freak as she repeatedly interrupted my lessons, constantly tried to hijack my classrooms, obsessed over the most trivial details, and insisted on relaying the most minor questions from every student.\n\nWhen I told the students to form groups of 4, Mrs. T said, “Teacher Carl. You told the students to form groups of 4, but we have 38 students in this class and one is absent, so we have a group with 5 students.”  Never mind that she’s been in the classroom for decades, pretending she doesn’t know what to do.  She can always feign helplessness, interrupt her team teacher’s lesson for the umpteenth time, and ask him to solve pseudo crisis.  \n\nWhen she sent the director a list of petty complaints and trumped up charges against me - personal revenge for trying to shut her down, thinly disguised as a professional evaluation, I discovered she was also a vindictive witch, a pathological liar, a sociopath and a schizophrenic.\n\nBut she was not only my team teacher, she was the director of the whole 6th grade.  And she’s Thai and I’m a foreigner and she’s been at the school for 20 or 30 years and I’m brand new. \n\nI had some impressive team teachers in Kenya and Korea. The Korean teachers weren’t in the classroom with me, but we had the same students and compared notes and exchanged ideas. Then there was my kindergarten team teacher in China, who was probably the best member of the Chinese team (but they were all top notch).  And I had a Thai girl who’s in the same office with Mrs T, and who gave me very few problems, and who was an almost ideal team teacher.  There was also a very good English major Thai intern.  \n\nAnd then there’s Mrs. T.  She can’t speak a complete, correct sentence in English and her pronunciation is incomprehensible, but she fancies herself to be an expert on teaching oral English.  So, I’ve had awesome team teachers and I’ve had OK team teachers and I’ve had Mrs. T and Mrs. T is a poster child for the team teacher from hell.\n\nNeither the school principal nor the vice principal (who is in charge of foreigners) nor the academic director nor the foreign affairs director ever set foot in my classroom during the entire controversy with Mrs. T. Nor did any of them look at my lesson notes, even though I had almost all of them translated into Thai.\n\nNor did the academic director look at my math worksheets or my math students’ notebooks or talk to me about my math teaching strategy, yet he accused me of not being able to teach math.\nWhen they fired me, I told them I would take my story to the internet if they didn’t get Mrs. T under control and allow me to continue teaching there without any further harassment.  The principal responded by telling the foreign affairs director, “Cancel his visa immediately!”\n\nI went back and forth with the other foreign teachers about how I might have done things differently and how the situation might have turned out had I handled the situation another way.  My conclusion is that it wouldn’t have mattered if I had diplomatically appealed to the foreign affairs director to resolve my problem with Mrs. T.

This might annoy a few readers but, I think in the main it is logical.\n\nThe requirement to hold a degree while on the face of it sensible I think in the wider scheme of things doesn\'t achieve much. It will filter out some undesirables but not all. I think a far more sensible approach would be to introduce a mandatory English Grammar test for all teachers and that should be the basis on whether they can teach in Thailand. If they have a degree great if not then no problem.\n\nMost people will argue the old if you haven\'t got a degree then you are not educated. I think I would have to argue this point. The MOE want English speakers in their schools across the board which is how it should be. I think I can say with certainty that any teacher, and by teacher I mean someone who went to university for four years with the express intention of going into teaching as their profession, is not going to come to Thailand to work each year for 8 1/2 months salary and poor salary at that. \n\nThe only teachers who will do that are ones that are here near the start of their career and want pretty much a working holiday. This is no good for the schools as they have a revolving door of teachers and this is certainly no good for the children as they have a new face speaking to them every few months.\n\nWhen I was at school I had the same teacher for the whole of my primary life and for the years in grammar school. That is how it should be. The first port of call for the Thai government is to make sure that schools are funded well enough to provide a salary for at least 11 months of the year. Why should a westerner be expected to go without salary here when they wouldn\'t in their own country.\n\nNow, going back briefly to the grammar test this would at least ensure that regardless of whether a person has a degree they at least will have the knowledge in their about Grammar and having a TESOL, TEFL etc as  requirement they will have had some training and assessment which would show them capable of passing on that knowledge.\n\nI sat at On Nut square which is a little haunt by On Nut BTS and a gathering spot for English teachers. I overheard a conversation of four teachers who were arguing what were verbs, adjectives and pronouns, and sadly none of them seemed to have much idea. A grammar test would have weeded that bunch out for a start. It really is a case of trying to keep the good people here and paying them a salary that would make them want to stay. That should be the goal of the government.\n\nI teach conversation to 720 primary students who I only see for one hour each week across 20 lessons. I have been told that the Thai schools have been told that from next year all conversation classes should expose the students to at least two hours with a native English speaker, yet they, as yet , have no extra funding. I think I can say safely that there will be very few takers if it comes to doubling the teaching hours to 40 in a week on a government salary of 33000 - 38000.\n\nI hope I haven\'t ruffled too many feathers but the time has come that the term to term payment needs to stop and a more fair means should be adopted. The money is there - it just needs to be diverted out of certain pockets and used more appropriately. With Asean round the corner I think Thailand has a long way to go and it needs to get it\'s skates on with this.

Let\'s think of our own experiences in life, and we can even use a wide range of scientific resources to back up our experiences.\n\nWhen we were students in school, K-12 that is (or whatever your country calls primary education), which classes were the ones where we retained the most of the intended material? Essentially, which classes were the ones we learned the most from? The ones that were fun with an engaging teacher. The classes we practically ran through the halls to get to. The classes we thought of as the bright-spot of the day in a rather bleak 8 hour stretch of rote-memorization and ineffectiveness. \n\nWhat I\'ve been reading on this website for some time now is this illusion that qualified teachers were going to come to Thailand and continue on in whatever teaching trend they had established over the years in another country, expecting to not have to adapt to a new culture with a new set of values. \n\nHere are some things that we all have in common as human beings.\n1) We learn best when we are enjoying ourselves and there isn\'t any tremendous stress involved.\n2) When there is a significant language barrier, we have to resort to new methods of communication to get our messages across. \n\nEntertainment through games and human energy are powerful means for getting students to actually learn something, for if any teacher was to stand and lecture at 99% of the schools in Thailand, you can be sure that 100% of the students will understand 0% of what is being said. The language barrier is so strong in Thailand, I fail to see any other option when it comes to methods of teaching other than games and entertainment.\n\nI came to Thailand with a notion that I would be a good teacher, effective and respected. What I did not know is that I would have to look at my definition of what teaching is and see if it was an actually correct view of teaching at all. My definition was correct, but it was incomplete, and I\'m now starting to question where the lines between teacher and entertainer actually stop intersecting. Where is the distinction made? Perhaps Thailand, despite all of the aberrant flaws existing, is actually teaching us what it really means to be a teacher. \n\nAm I a walking talking head with lots of information to spew all over students who won\'t understand it anyway? Or am I a human that can connect to students on a variety of levels using other methods of teaching other than just a moving mouth and vibrating voice-box?\n\nThe question I intend to leave this letter with, the one I feel is most important towards growing as English teachers abroad, is this... Where does the distinction between teacher and entertainer actually lie and who is to say that to be a truly effective teacher in Thailand we shouldn\'t be both?',1,'2013-08-02 01:51:58','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb19.jpg','2013-08-02 01:51:58','2013-08-02 17:05:59'),(14970,'Who should take the TOEIC test?','who-should-take-the-toeic-test','Jason Carmichael','There has been a lot of talk about the newly introduced TOEIC-requirement lately.

In my opinion the MOE has not taken the matter far enough. All NES teachers should be required to sit that test no matter where they are from. As it is today your passport decides whether you can call yourself a NES teacher or not. But being the holder of an American passport is not the same as being an NES teacher. Being the holder of an American passport makes you an American citizen but that\'s not the same as having English as your first language. It\'s estimated that there are around 40 million Hispanics in America. The majority of those people cannot be considered NES teachers although they possess American passports.

There are only three native English speaking countries in the world that have English as their mother tongue and they are England, Australia and the USA. The rest are classed as having a dominant language, but not native English speaking countries as explained below.\n\nIn many countries English is the dominant language, but does not have official status -- this includes three of the most important English-speaking countries: namely Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. \n\nIn four of the other most important English-speaking countries, English is co-official with a second language (or languages): in Canada with French, New Zealand with Maori, the Republic of Ireland with Irish, and South Africa with Afrikaans and several African languages. Furthermore, English has official status in four of the world\'s most populous countries, although it is not spoken natively: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Philippines.\n\nMany of these countries are current or former colonies or dependencies of the United Kingdom, or of the United States, itself a former colony of the UK. Notable exceptions include Rwanda, which was a former Belgian colony and Eritrea, which was an Italian colony where the British Empire spanned its control only in World War II and shortly after (1941-1952).\n\nSo if you are not from the three main countries and are not native-English speakers as shown in the list, maybe there should be a TOEIC test taken but as for saying everyone should take the test that is just abundantly idiotic. Many countries and teachers have to take the TOEIC test before being allowed to teach in Thailand already such as the Filipino teachers and I know this because I am engaged to such a lady and she had to pass her TOEIC test, which she did convincingly. I am all for setting standards in education but be sensible about it and only test the ones who need to be tested.\n\nSo before you say you are a native English speaker you may want to check out the wiki site below and you may find that you are not a native English speaker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_where_English_is_an_official_language',1,'2013-08-08 15:17:57','storage/legacy/files/postbox/colorw.jpg','2013-08-08 15:17:57','2013-08-09 06:06:58'),(14988,'What\'s going on?','whats-going-on','TRRicher','My colleagues are up in arms about what seems to be a two years and out rule. ','My colleagues are up in arms about what seems to be a two years and out rule.  We have degreed teachers in various fields of expertise. History majors, Math majors, business majors, and Science majors some with doctorates. Now it seems that the Teachers Council of Thailand (TCT) wants all teachers to have EDU degrees.  Throw out the experience factors of 2 to 4 years teaching, if you don\'t have an EDU, you\'re gone after 2 years. Well, I guess that is not exactly it either. The TCT will accept you if you take their 4-part series of testing and the Thai culture course.  They offer it 2 times per year, but is it really worth it?  \n\nMost salaries are low, under 1000 USD a month.  I guess they, the TCT, want you to spend considerable time and money to obtain what they call a license to teach.  Everyone in Thailand knows; including Thai citizens, that the teaching profession in Thailand does not pay well.  Ask a Thai teacher, they make about 1/2 of the money that I mentioned above. I truly believe that the TCT is going the wrong way.  If they are under the assumption that many individuals who are currently teaching are willing to jump through all these hoops in order to keep their low salary positions. They may be in for a huge surprise.  \n\nHopefully they will wake up.  Thailand is already ranked one of the lowest level of English speaking countries in South East Asia.  It is one thing to believe in \"Thai rak Thai\" but this economy is strongly based globally, and the international language is very important to Thailand\'s growth and future.',1,'2013-08-08 15:48:57','','2013-08-08 15:48:57','2013-08-09 06:06:58'),(15005,'Don\'t turn your back on the kids','dont-turn-your-back-on-the-kids','Jon','Who are we there for? The school? Maybe. But I would hope that most teachers would say that they are there for the children, to offer the kids a chance to improve their English','I would like to add my two pence worth to the whole teachers who break contracts debate. A lot of schools I agree treat foreign teachers with contempt and as most people say we are there to make money for the school. Not necessarily the case for all government schools. Who are we there for? The school? Maybe, but I would hope that most teachers would say that they are there for the children, to offer the kids a chance to improve their English, which has to be said is like herding sheep sometimes.\n\nContracts are pretty much worthless, so rely on the Labor Act 1988 - look it up and that\'s your contract. A lot of schools offer just the term time 8 1/2 months - so less than two thirds. If you\'re at a school on  10-month contract, remember that\'s 83% of the year salaried plus whatever bonus you get for completion or resigning. I have seen an error where someone stated it was less than 70%. So a 10-month contract is not that bad. \n\nSalaries are low compared to everywhere else but I suspect there are not many qualified teachers - as in teacher-trained for four years at university - that are working here in a school for a salary for only 8.5 months of the year. Those teachers will be in the International schools earning a proper wage and for the whole 12 months plus benefits.\n\nI am currently in the 8.5 bracket however only due to the fact that my Thai employer said that they would pay 9 1/2 months but I was told recently they will not pay the October break. Having said that I have over 720 students and whilst I am annoyed, I feel a sense of responsibility to see Pratom 6 off to Mattayom and to help as much as I can with my other students before moving on. I have had unsolicited phone calls offering work which I have declined. I have my poker in several fires and will make a move when I think it is appropriate and that is once the school year is over.\n\nIt is very much a two-way street, I believe we as foreigners do not feel obligated to stay anywhere as we feel undervalued and that is probably a result of the many years where Thailand schools were staffed at the ESL level with perverts, drunks, and the general travelling riff raff. The result is we have been somewhat tarred with the same brush. \n\nI can say I have been involved with very nice schools and whilst this school has only been let down by the slight dishonesty of the teachers employer, I will explore the possibility of staying with the school if a contract can be agreed with them. So I think everyone should think of the children first, at the end of the day if you move school mid-term, you only do it for a few thousand baht more. so if that to you is a good enough reason to turn your back on the kids that you agreed to teach for a year, maybe you should move on altogether.\n\nIf you want to move, wait until the new school year - then if you\'re a good \"teacher\" you will get the pick of the crop.',1,'2013-08-14 22:11:21','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb34.jpg','2013-08-14 22:11:21','2013-08-15 12:12:22'),(15030,'Thailand, the sick man of ASEAN','thailand-the-sick-man-of-asean','Russell','I relocated to Vietnam to see if the grass was any greener over there.

Well they said, things here have change beyond belief regarding teaching positions here in Thailand.  To be honest, I thought that maybe they just had a hard time with certain government offices. Which we all know, happens hourly in Thailand.\n\nAnyway, I found myself back in Thailand and my school started the process of my work permit lol. After three visits to Bangkok from north Korat, we eventually gained a non-B visa. Then it was the turn of the teachers licensing department, also in Bangkok as you know. With yet another full copy of ALL my documents signed by yours truly, we set off to the office in Bangkok. After being told I need to take the teachers license test, I replied  no problem. When is the next available test ? I don’t know was the reply, ok where can I  take the test ? I don’t know was the reply. \n\nSo, I can’t have a work permit because I have to take the test and you the government teachers license office does not know when or where the test will be held. It has taken the school four months to get me a work permit for this country. Having to change my application to a native speaker. ( it took 4 weeks in Vietnam ) In that time, they have used over 5 pages of my passport. Half a dozen copies of ALL my documents and five sets of photos, plus 4,000 baht for two non-B visas.\n\nCommon sense isn’t very common in Thailand.

When you had a new passport you returned to immigration to transfer the details to the new passport and get the remainder of the extension of stay placed in your new passport for free. The new policy means that now when you get a new passport because the old one has expired you have to apply for a new extension of stay, with all the accompanying paperwork and of course pay the usual extension fee of 1,900 baht.\n \nThis will mean more paperwork and a better preparation for people who\'s passport is about to expire.  \n\nIn my opinion I find it very difficult to understand the mentality or blatant stupidity of the Thai immigration section in Bangkok.

Great idea!! One problem - these students had NEVER been encouraged to express any form of opinion in their native language and had no concept of critically appraising any statement made by their teacher. They are the products of a system which requires them to unthinkingly accept and repeat anything their (unquestionably correct) teacher chooses to tell them and then tick the correct box in a multiple guess examination at the end of term. If a student happens to fail the exam it is obviously due to the failure of the teacher to impart the necessary information.\n\nThis system, which also actively encourages and rewards non-performance through the totally ridiculous no-fail policy, demonstrates to students that there is absolutely no need for independent thought or personal effort. If somehow the model could be changed, from one of passively \"being taught\" to actively learning, perhaps it may become possible to facilitate the airing of students\' opinions in whatever language they choose to use.\n\nUnfortunately, this would require a degree of insight on the part of those within the higher echelons of the MoE (themselves products of the aforementioned system). Inherent in this would be an admission that the system, and not the teacher, is responsible for the current day failings which result in the annual production of thousands of university graduates whose degrees are worth little more than the paper on which they are printed.\n\nWith the looming advent of the AEC, Thailand is being left behind by it\'s neighbours and the international community at large.

I have spoken to many professional teachers since I have been here and all of them agree that schools are just appalling and the system allows free passes to students despite having not turned up to their classes or exams.\n\nI hear the parents speaking about their schools as if they are the best institutions in the world because they pay lots of money to send their kids to private schools and international schools. They pay anything from 60,000 to 200,000 per semester per child to study at these schools and it is a cash cow for the owners. But the kids do not get a better education at all. They are simply given a free pass as in all the other schools here.\n\nMoney will not buy your child a good education because the system is all wrong. The students have no interest in learning because of the no fail policy that exists in every school. I worked in one so called international school doing summer classes for students because they did not reach their grades during the semester and the parents paid a lot of money on top of what they already paid for the year to send their kids to this so called international school.\n\nI was told that under no circumstances were they to fail and they were to get a grade that would pass them even if it was a minimum pass. I could not believe that this was coming from a foreign head of year as instructed by the head of the school. I was disgusted to say the least at what was said and once the summer classes were finished I promptly left this second rate school and never looked back.\n\nA word of advice to the parents of the students is (DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE  REPUTATION OF A SCHOOL AS IT IS MOSTLY FALSE) do your homework on where you are sending your children for their education as most of the institutions are only there to get your money and don\'t give a damn about your child\'s education only how much money they can get from your pocket. Also be careful about schools that are situated on university grounds just because they are on the university it does not mean to say that they are any different or will supply your child with a better education it is just a gimmick to get your hard earned cash.\n\nIf parents really want to get the best education for their kids lobby the MOE to drop the no fail policy and give their children an incentive to learn and not just play the system so that they get a pass.

I just wanted to recommend that anyone considering teaching in Thailand read the interview, because it puts the sum total of my own experience, and I believe the most salient truths about this endeavour, very much in the proverbial nutshell. \n\nHere is the overall picture rendered in a very frank and honest way. Steve\'s forte is obviously the art of summary.\n\nI went to school in Thailand for a year on a government scholarship as a kid, and I studied Thai at university. I taught at university there myself for four years, and obviously I have had a lifelong involvement with this country. All of this has enriched my life - none of it in the monetary sense, in terms of career aspirations studying about Thailand and all the years spent on learning the language are indubitably the most misguided choices I ever made. But I met a lot of nice people there and learning any completely alien language is generally good for the mind. \n\nIn my opinion Steve has offered some very sage advice.\n\nAjarn.com says - Thank you Fred.

Policies are inconsistent; they keep surprising us, foreign teachers. To obtain a permanent teachers\' license, one has to have completed a Thai Culture and Professional Ethics training course, and unfortunately, for those without a degree in education or a teaching diploma, they would have to take the said training and a Professional Knowledge exam; or take an online course, or whatever. \n\nIn previous years, a number of schools or organizations offered the Thai Culture and Professional Ethics training for a reasonable price. This year however, The Ministry of Education made the Rajabhat Universities the only official organizers of the training course - for which one has to make a reservation months ahead. What is really painful is how long it takes for them to issue the certificate! It is stated that the certificate will be released after 60 days, but no, it\'s more than 60 days really! \n\nAnd worse, you can\'t process a permanent teachers\' license without it even if you have completed all of the other necessary documents. So your non-B visa expires then you have to go do a couple of agonizing visa runs in which the torture ends only until the Thai Culture Certificate is released and you get to process your license and work permit! And hey, during the submission of the necessary documents for a reservation for the training course and paying 4-6,000 baht, there is no assurance that your Thai Culture Certificate will be given to you because... I don\'t know! In my case, I was told that only 32 out of 80 trainees will receive the certificate because some did not complete the requirements in which we all checked during the training.

I have never known such a senseless and moronic system as they have here in Thailand and it is just getting worse by the day especially when the Government agencies such as the MOE should be welcoming teachers, not pushing them away by making things so unbearable that the turnover of teachers in this country is so high that it is ridiculous beyond belief.\n\nIt is a fact that Thai schools are always short of English teachers and other subjects but the MOE still insist on adding more and more ridiculous rules every semester. It will come to the point where the only ones who will come here will be backpackers who are just out to make a little money for the rest of their holiday in Thailand. \n\nI am seriously considering leaving after being here for over three years as a professional teacher because the effort, stress and jumping through hoops for the MOE and their stupid idiotic rules is just getting too much to bear.

A website that has random articles and blogs about Thailand, but does not provide any well paying jobs seems rather shallow. Supporting agencies and schools that offer poor salaries demonstrates a desire to earn money from individuals that desire to post an ad, but very little sincere desire to have any quality.

Shallow and sad.\n\nPhil (ajarn.com) replies - I decided to put your letter on-line to show that life running ajarn.com isn\'t always a bed of roses. OK, where to start? \"Ajarn.com used to show many jobs with salaries over 40,000 baht\" - well, you need hard figures to back up sweeping statements like that. If we take the last three years, the number of job ads posted on ajarn.com increased 12% in 2011, 22% in 2012 and so far by about 15% in 2013. Yes, you are probably seeing an increase in job ads advertising positions in the 20-30K bracket but that doesn\'t mean there are fewer positions in the 40K+ bracket. It\'s just that those better-paying jobs are becoming a smaller percentage of the overall jobs posted. And that\'s the way it is I\'m afraid. \n\nTeacher placement agencies have increased considerably over the last three years. Yes, as middlemen, they do retain a portion of the teachers salary and yes, most agencies do tend to pay salaries around the 30K mark. But the ads are merely a reflection of the direction the Thailand TEFL job market has gone in. How can Ajarn.com be held responsible for the way things are?\n\nI know from the e-mails we receive that ajarn.com has helped a lot of teachers to find information on teaching on Thailand. There is no \'pretending to help teachers\' involved. Some we help, others maybe we don\'t. But is ajarn.com a business and is it there to make money? Yes is the answer to both questions - and I have never ever denied it. The overhead costs of running ajarn.com are considerable and of course, there are an awful lot of man hours that go into keeping the site updated, etc. The site has to pay for itself.

You may or may not already be sitting the tests to obtain a teacher\'s license. All your concerns can end but begin again here.\n\nThe good news is that because the Teacher\'s Council of Thailand (TCT) is trying to rigorously enforce the need for all foreign English teachers to sit the tests for a teacher\'s license, many schools are now finding it difficult to retain staff. This is becoming very visible in Isaan, for instance, where many schools recently made a complaint to the Ministry of Education which, in turn, lodged a complaint with the TCT.\n\nBut I digress. Headmasters are now being wooed by recruitment agents, many of whom have fledgling private language centres, and can recruit whoever they please (criminal record permitting, but only in extreme circumstances such as when a foreigner/teacher has been accused of a crime and schools have to demand to see staff backgrounds).\n\nContracts are made between the agent and the employee (the school stays well out of this equation). The agent arranges the work permit and because the application is being made through a private language centre, there is no need to have any advanced academic qualifications, no need for TCT waiver letters and no need to bother with teacher\'s licensing tests. The school merely submits salary applications to the authorities and then splits the difference with the agent.\n\nWhich brings me on to the bad news. Teachers are only paid by the class and receive no money for sick days or holidays. Likewise, they receive no other benefits, such as limited accident & emergency. And teachers are running just as much risk as schools and agents. Surely this unethical practice must be breaking certain laws somewhere along the line. Top tip.

Having been living and teaching primary aged learners in Thailand for 7 years now, I still wonder after many, many,  hours of classroom instruction, “why the pronunciation of many English words spoken by Thai learners is still so poor?”.\n\nTo give some background information relating to myself and reasoning behind this question, I’m a Native speaker from the UK, and I’m currently in my final year of a Masters in education (M. Ed) which requires research and a written dissertation relating to a current / relevant issue within my own personal environment (in my case a primary school teaching primary aged learners).  Thus I’m hoping for some valid opinions, responses, information from other primary level teachers within Thailand as to the issues they face, have faced, overcome in dealing with mispronunciation of English words.\n\nI’m predominantly focusing on the non pronunciation of “s” when it’s in the final position (ending of the word), I’m fully aware this is an issue at all levels of learners & speakers, however, I’m only concerned with primary age learners.\n\nI have been teaching primary ages learners for 7 years now, and this issue confronts me on a daily basis, some examples; 1 cat, 2 cat(s), french frie(s) = non pronunciation of the plural, Starbuck(s), Philippine(s),  six  = sick, fox = fok  non pronunciation of the final  “x/s” sound, ice = i, nice = ni, non pronunciation of the final ce (s) sound.\n\nSo, the questions are;\n\na) Do other primary teachers in Thailand face the same issue(s)?  b) What words do your students have problems with?  c) Is the problem when speaking? reading? OR both?  d) Do you believe your students are aware of their mispronunciation or not? e) How do you overcome this, or tried to overcome this?  f) Any personal beliefs / academic beliefs / reasons why or though on why these mispronouncing exist in Thai learners?\n\nPlease state the following in you reply, the province your teaching in (so I get evidence if this is widespread or localised),the level primary 1, 2, 3, etc,  the class environment (English / normal program).

In fact I think what Thailand and Laos are going to end up being is the much needed labour pool for the rest of the world. Thailand is going to be the isolated non-English speaking island on this big round thing we call the earth.\n\nIn other words Thailand and in particular the MOE and all the misguided personnel in the MOE you really do need to get your act together.\n\nTeachers, yes you need teachers and you need them badly so lets see what is your response to that. Make things difficult in fact make things so difficult more and more good quality teachers are leaving by the day because they are sick and tired of wasting their time, money and goodwill trying to satisfy some jobs worth in the MOE who thinks that what Thailand\'s education system needs is more rules for foreign teachers. What Thailands education system needs is more action inthe following areas.\n\nA much more sensible term system I would suggest a three term system similar to the UK, Europe and the US. \n\nA lot more control of what text books are used in the schools. If you are going to allow a Thai owned company to produce English educational material then the time has come for you to introduce a law that requires said companies to employ a QUALIFIED English speaker to proof read and stop all the errors going to print. Believe me there are thousands of them out there just pick up any book used in the Thai English classes and see how many you can find. \n\nBy the same token the MOE needs to employ westerners to help with the English program and tests that get generated from within the MOE, again there are far too many mistakes and, to be honest, completely pointless parts of tests that come out of there. \n\nThai English teachers need to do their degrees with a professor who actually understands English grammar. The proficiency of a lot of Thai teachers in relation to English is not good. \n\nThe last thing that should get cancelled during a school day is English class it is far more important than any Thai school realizes.\n\nNow for the more difficult things:\n\nAt least one Native English Speaker at every school. I say one minimum to take into account all the smaller schools that exist up and down the roads everywhere.\n\nMore emphasis on the quality of the NES teachers rather than the paperwork, it\'s nice to have a degree but there are many good teachers with brains and the intellect that can take a TESOL course and are more than capable of a valuable contribution to the cause in Thailand. Thailand needs teachers badly and you won\'t get enough qualified teachers to come here for the pay your expecting to give them.\n\nWhich brings us on to proper contracts, maybe a little less money getting pocketed by the agencies and more incentive for schools to employ teachers direct, a little less pratting around with excessive quadruple copies of copies of copies of pieces of paper that were copied then sent then copied then lost then copied again by which time the teacher thinks whats the point and the school thinks what do we do.\n\nThese are just a few of the things that will be important to Thailand. When should they get put into action? Well, personally I would say at least three years ago but better late than never why not make an effort now.\n\nOne thing I can say for a certainty to Thailand and that is when you call someone abroad to do business with them you can count on this.\n\nThe person who answers the phone in Singapore, Cambodia, the USA, the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Hawaii, Brazil, Chile, Norway, Sweden, in fact any country in the world. That person will more than likely speak ENGLISH the one language they will NOT speak is Thai. So, the one thing Thailand needs to decide. Is is going to make the effort to learn the universal language that will improve its standing in the world, or will Thailand continue to be a overly proud nation and miss out of the chance to take a chunk of the action and consign it\'s citizens to being nothing more than a labour force for the rest of the world.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with being proud but you need to be proud and sensible. You need English teachers a lot more than they need you. Embrace them and try and keep them, don\'t resent them and turn them away. \n\nI hope above all that Thailand makes and attempt to join the 21st century and stop living 50 years in the past. Come on Thailand you can do it, come and join us, come and be part of the global economy. \n\nWe await your decision.',1,'2013-11-11 06:19:21','storage/legacy/files/postbox/bp37.jpg','2013-11-11 06:19:21','2013-11-11 21:09:22'),(15509,'Calling Tony Mitchell','calling-tony-mitchell','Phil (Ajarn.com)','Hi Tony.

They believe this because it is part of Buddhist beliefs, for one to be generous.  \n\nThe Thai government  has already donated around 90 million baht on top of relief goods that were delivered by plane to the affected areas in the Philippines. On top of that, many Filipino teachers who hail from the affected areas (including me) were given donations (through collections by teachers and students) to help loved ones back in the Philippines. With the money they gave us, we were able to give our own families money for food, clothing, necessities or for repairing homes.

I am not sure what nationality Mr. Dee is, and while this digresses from the original theme it does in a way stand along side the topic. As Mr. Dee pointed out there is a large number of activities going on by Thailand to assist the Philippines. Well done Thailand for that and you should be commended for doing that. Now if we look at the generous, gift giving and welcoming side then this is where Thailand regarding English seriously lets itself down. \n\nThailand is actually heading for its own disaster for no other reason than the governments and various other peoples attitude to foreigners. Sadly the word that has to be used is racist, Thai people, and I direct this at owners and operators of agencies and schools who are racist and ageist beyond understanding. I know of countless teachers overlooked because they are too old e.g. over 35 in some ridiculous cases. \n\nI know excellent teachers who because of their skin colour are not allowed in a school because \"the parents want a white face\" so actually I will amend my previous statement and include all the racist Thai parents out there.

Yes, Thailand is generous in some areas but in others it is a very racist and ignorant country which is going to affect how it develops over the coming years. Everyone goes on about the ASEAN community but I fear this will pass Thailand by, certainly for a good few years. The government need to get across that quality of teaching is more important than colour. \n\nI agree that English teachers should be fluent and regrettably that does mean that they will more than likely have to come from one of the main four English speaking countries. By the same token I would not expect to go to another country as an English speaker and try and teach French or German. I wouldn\'t consider my pronunciation good enough to do justice to the language for any students I ended up teaching.\nI do think that the government should go down the route of introducing into the labor act some stipulations about age and race. This purely to be fair to all those who want to help Thailand. \n\nWe have to face the true reality that a lot of the teachers here are in their latter years and are quite capable of contributing to the education system. It should not matter at all whether your teacher is white, black or pink with yellow polka dots. What should matter is can they speak English and do they know their grammar? Sadly, a lot of the newbies don\'t.\n\nAnyway a little off the topic of helping the Philippines but really a valid point I think.

I lived this reality and mindset for most of my time there, even though I was never scammed by a woman, I bought into this victim mentality. \n\nHere\'s my quick point: people will take advantage of weakness no matter where they are from. If you are weak and naive enough to try to buy someone\'s love through gifts and promises, that is your problem, not theirs. People, particularly women, will test your strength. If they find a weak spot in you that makes you vulnerable to others, she will not have confidence in you as a man. She could be Thai, white, blue, whatever. \n\nThis principle of strength is the same as it is in the classroom. Your students will not follow you if you try to pander to them through kindness. They will tolerate you and follow their own needs until the bell rings.',1,'2013-12-03 04:45:33','','2013-12-03 04:45:33','2013-12-03 19:07:35'),(15881,'It\'s been a great adventure','its-been-a-great-adventure','William Putnam','It’s been a fantastic year. I have lived in Southeast Asia since September 10th, 2012. I was not sure I was going to work as a teacher when I arrived. I viewed my travels here as a long vacation. However, once I realized I liked it here, I began to look for jobs so that I could stay longer. ','It’s been a fantastic year. I have lived in Southeast Asia since September 10th, 2012. I was not sure I was going to work as a teacher when I arrived. I viewed my travels here as a long vacation. However, once I realized I liked it here, I began to look for jobs so that I could stay longer. \n\nI looked for any job I could find. First, I thought of earning my PADI divemaster certification, but the high initial costs and the monsoon season in the Gulf of Thailand meant that I would not have enough money to last until I began working. I also thought of working at a bar or restaurant, but there were not many of those jobs available to foreigners. So I ended up accepting a job teaching English conversation.\n\nI worked in Trat town, in southeastern Thailand, where I taught English to students in Mattayom 1 through 6. I worked at multiple English camps, taught private lessons, and worked occasional evenings at a Thai bar. I went to national parks and temples with Thai people, got drunk on numerous beaches, had the best 1-dollar meals of my life, and met people from all over the world. I had a great time.\n\nIt’s strange: a place that was so foreign to me when I arrived now feels so much like home. I am not sure when Thailand began to feel like my home. It must have happened within the past six months or so. In April of this year, I bought a motorbike and biked across the Bolaven Plateau in Laos. That was quite possibly the most fun experience I have had in Southeast Asia so far. I arrived back in Thailand filled with dread. I did not want to be working again. I was having so much fun. \n\nAfter the next school term ended, I traveled to Vietnam for a couple of weeks. When I arrived back in Trat, I felt like I was home again. I loved traveling through Vietnam. In many ways, that excursion was more fun than my adventures in Laos. However, this time I did not want to keep traveling; I was excited to return to Thailand, my new home. \n\nI’m not sure what I will do next. I loved the students at my school. As screwed up as the Thai school system was, and as lazy as many of the students were, none of my students were ever disrespectful or vindictive. I doubt that I could say the same thing working as a teacher in the United States. Still, the headaches that come with working at a Thai school make me unenthusiastic about working at a government school again. I think it’s time for me to try something new. \n\nI never expected to be a teacher. I doubt that I will end up teaching for a career. But I like doing it now. So why quit?\n\nI will end with some advice for new teachers:\n\n1.    Keep your calm at all times. Nothing will make Thais lose respect for you like an inability to control your temper.\n\n2.    Focus on the students who do want to learn. Even if most of your students show up late and don’t pay attention in class, help the students who are interested in learning. Just because the system’s failing them does not mean you should too.\n\n3.    Stop complaining. Don’t be one of those people who only eats farang food, gets drunk, and talks about how much better the West is than Thailand. Did you not come here to experience a different culture?',1,'2013-12-03 04:47:18','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb51.jpg','2013-12-03 04:47:18','2013-12-03 19:07:19'),(18618,'A word of warning!','a-word-of-warning','Anonymous','We had the bad luck of finding a great school in Trang, but our agent wasn\'t really up to scratch!','2013 was a memorable year!

I love it and consider it my home now.  I am lucky to have found work within a university in the international relations department  that not only allows me to work freelance, but also very easy to take time off for other projects.  As such I am a practicing artist and do artist residencies at different museums around the world.  The only downfall of this job is that the pay is not so hot!  Subsequently I am constantly looking for other work.\n\nNow let\'s get to the point.  During my last artist residency in Beijing, out of curiosity I looked to see what positions I could find as a foreigner.  Let\'s just say I was overwhelmed and shocked by the number and types of jobs!!!  From editing, copywriting, publishing, transcription, curriculum development, designing, coaching, teaching, sales, marketing....so many types of jobs, so many options!  \n\nI was not planning on moving to Beijing for any reason, but just out of curiosity I spent a few days sending resumes and attending interviews.  Ultimately I was offered many jobs in many different roles that I probably would have taken if they were in Thailand.  It was a very pleasant to find so many opportunities after spending so much time online looking for jobs only to find the dreaded words: THAI NATIONALS ONLY.  I am aware that there are plenty of teaching jobs in Thailand, but I am not a teacher, plain and simple.  Interestingly there were plenty of jobs in the content creation, writing, editing, and managing of educational programs/materials materials in China.  Where are these jobs in Thailand?\n\nObviously Beijing and Bangkok are very different places, but it is very interesting to me that as two globalised cities their job markets are drastically different for expats.  It would seem that there would be similar opportunities in companies that are providing the same services, which is not really the case. Is there is a slight anti-foreigner sentiment for some reason, an overabundant of Thais that are native level English speakers, or a lack of funding?  I am curious to see what ajarn.com readers think about this.\n\nMoving on...so was all this applying and interviewing just a waste of time?  No not at all.  It was vital networking which has now lead to remote freelance work that I am doing here in Thailand.  Editing, designing, and writing work that is all well paid through Paypal.  I have been set on finding work with the skills that I had, but could not find it here in Thailand and was able to find it in China.  I would much rather work for a company here in Thailand, but have not been able to find the right opportunities.  \n\nIn the end I am happy to have found remote freelance work which allows me to work from Thailand, but it makes me wonder what\'s up with Thailand and the job market here?  \n\nTo readers who have been here longer than me: Is this something that has gotten better or worse over time and in their opinion will get better or worse as time goes on?',1,'2014-01-04 00:50:07','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb29.jpg','2014-01-04 00:50:07','2014-01-04 15:03:08'),(19924,'Perceptive young learners','perceptive-young-learners','Carl Slaughter','Here\'s a story about some very young but very sharp Thai and Chinese students.','Here\'s a story about some very young but very sharp Thai and Chinese students.\n\nI interviewed for a math and science teacher position.  They sent me into the classroom for a short demonstration lesson.  Fortunately I brought my math handouts.  But they didn’t want to see how well I teach math or science. They wanted to know how well I engage the students and how well I keep them under control. I introduced myself, told them about my travels, and opened the floor for questions.\n\nOne of them asked, “ Do you have a girlfriend?”  “No.”  Another followed this with, “Are you sure you don’t have a girlfriend?”  “I’m sure.”  A third one asked, “Do you have a boyfriend?”  One asked me who my favorite superhero was.  I don’t have a favorite superhero, so I just said Ironman.  They said, “Ironman 1, 2, or 3.”  Then one said, “Ironman 3 is the best.”  I said, “I agree.  I watched Ironman 3 on my laptop a few days ago.”  One of them asked me what’s my favorite country.  I said Thailand.  Another one said, “Don’t you like America?”  I said, “Of course. America is my favorite country. Thailand is #2.  Thailand would be your #1 and another country would be your #2”  \n\nThey’re 10 years old and they don’t speak English as their native language, but they were asking me sharp questions with complete correct grammar and very good pronunciation and they understood everything I said. Similar experiences when I taught kindergarten in China.  One of the rules for the children was \"Do not speak Chinese during the English lessons.\"  The punishment was to sit in the bedroom alone and silent.  Of course, children want to be with other children and play, so they dreaded this punishment.  The facilities manager came into my classroom during one of my lessons to talk to my team teacher. He didn\'t know a word of English.  The children jumped out of their seats, shook their finger at him, and then pointed to the bedroom.  They shouted, \"No Chinese!  Go to the bedroom!\"\n\nThe most important thing I have learned about young learners is that they are much more perceptive than we think.',1,'2014-01-04 02:19:19','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb34.jpg','2014-01-04 02:19:19','2014-01-04 16:04:21'),(21408,'Want to be in a BBC documentary?','want-to-be-in-a-bbc-documentary','Morwenna James','Are you travelling through Bangkok between now and March 22nd 2014, or know anyone who is?','Are you travelling through Bangkok between now and March 22nd 2014, or know anyone who is?

Such a wonderful time; the college canteens and study areas filled with students engaged in solemn debates about which mall is having a sale this weekend, what colour underwear this week’s flavour of the month pop/TV star wears on which day, or how many packets of barbecued octopus nipple flavoured potato chips you have to purchase from 7-11 to qualify for a free packet of, barbecued octopus nipple flavoured potato chips!\n\nBut no, that’s just me being frivolous. It’s a serious time for teachers, when their workload increases thousand-fold trying to catalogue all of the late homework assignments (which the dog has just miraculously regurgitated intact), keeping track of how many of Somchai’s grandparents died during the semester allowing him credit for missing the lesson, and engaging in the business of grading the students exams and determining whether theirs will be a short working life hugging a vertical chrome pole in one of Bangkok’s numerous entertainment plazas, or a much longer career, donning a numbered dayglo green throw-over waistcoat ferrying overweight shopping laden som tam vendors to the end of the soi on their recently hire-purchased Honda dream. \n\nThat time of year when hordes of students appear to commit their linguistic prowess to paper for the wonderment of their teachers in the hope of a better future, as if the previous five and a half years didn’t matter.\n\nThat time of year when students who have never set foot into the language centre office before appear, as if by magic, to utter those four immortal words; “Teacher, help me please!”\n\nWhat do you mean, “help me?” If I were half capable of doing something like that, I would be out in the wilderness of the Sinai desert with a couple of loaves, a few fish, numerous flagons of bottled water and more minions than a McDonalds happy meal service hatch.\n\nI’m always amazed, and sometimes wonder whether I shouldn’t actually give them extra credit points for independent learning when they utter the phrase, because as hard as I try, I can never seem to find the phrase in any of the textbooks they have been studying, but that is by the by.\n\nThe phrase is akin to the other favoured utterance that comes out at end-of-term practical speaking tests; “I’m sorry, I don’t know.” Another fine example of independent learning if ever there was one, because I certainly never teach that in class! I don’t know about your own esteemed educational establishment, but mine has the students record their answers onto a computer, while a ‘native speaker’ recites the questions at the front of the class. The answers generally go like this;\n\nNS: “Number …”\n\nStudent: “One, I’m sorry I don’t know. Two, I’m sorry I don’t know. Three, I’m sorry I don’t know.”\n\nNS:” two…”\n\nFor myself, I think they should do these speaking tests every week, because they turn the students into psychics, but, then again, that is by the by.\n\nThe third ‘utterance’, for want of a better word, as it is usually scribed onto 28th generation dried papyrus vomit is, the old chestnut; ”I love you teacher.”  Again, independent learning at its best, because, whilst I have worked with a few individuals in Thailand who encourage use of the aforementioned phrase, it’s not something that is usually included in my own personal handouts to students.\n\nI sit there in utter bewilderment, nay, amazement even, at times, trying to deduce what is going on inside the student’s head, and how they can believe that, “I love you teacher”, is an appropriate answer to the question; “Is the bus stop OPPOSITE, NEXT TO or IN FRONT OF the 7-11?” \n\nI only wish they had imparted their undying amour for me during the year one semester one mid-term exams. Who knows?

And he began to read through the multitude of laws that benefit foreigners living and working here in amazing Thailand. \n\nWe all sat with our mouths open and our minds running at a million miles an hour. Within seconds we all had the same thought - the school has to pay us severance pay of 30 days. We were entitled to it. \n\nBlog photocopied, we approached the department head and handed the information for them to read. Within seconds you could feel the anger and hatred oozing from every pore in their body. ‘No’ was the direct and forceful response. And then came an about-turn and a complete refusal to discuss the matter any further.\n\nLeft standing in bewilderment, we thought ‘well if that’s how you want to play it, then a visit to the city’s labor office is in order’ \n\nArmed with my contract and a freshly printed copy of the Thai labour law from Ajarn.com, my Thai friend and I made our way to the labor offices. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the office staff only to discover the school had called them beforehand.\n\nAnyway, my Thai friend and I sat down with two labor department officers to discuss matters further, with my Thai friend doing much of the communication on my behalf.\n\n“Basically you don’t have any rights in this situation” said one of the officers. When I questioned why, he slid a copy of the law, written in English, across the table and pointed to section four.\n\nSection 4: This act shall not apply to: central administration, provincial administration and local administration; and state enterprises under the law governing state enterprise labour relations.\n\nSo, basically 90% of foreign teachers that work in government schools and the above are not covered by many of the laws in this book. And basically the school can put whatever it wants in your contract and once signed you have no comeback.\n \nI think the thing that pisses me off most is if one of these Thais lived and worked in England, after five years they would be given residency and the right to work freely. They would also enjoy the same rights as myself under British law. And my country’s law would afford them the same protection as me. \n\nI’ve lived in Thailand for many years. I’ve abided by their laws and learnt their culture to the best of my ability. I’ve paid my taxes and the salaries I’ve received have been spent within Thailand. I’m not Filipino or African that sends a large percentage of their salary home to families. The money I earn in Thailand, stays in Thailand. \n\nNo wonder good teachers are leaving this country in droves. Working in Afghanistan would be easier than this place.\n\nAjarn.com says - It\'s worth pointing out that the \'labor law\' article which serves as the basis for this post is an article written by Teacher Andre and appears in the ajarn guests section of the website under the title \'The Thai Labor Law\'.

The Thai labor law is black and white so although this is Thailand it doesn\'t depend on which way the wind is blowing etc. \n\nIt is clear cut and not open to any interpretation. Any first step should be to send a solicitor\'s letter to the employer requesting the expected severance pay. If you have a fixed term contract and the contract reaches its natural end and is not renewed then you have no case. Any termination can be made prior to a contract ending and this can be easily done by an employer however: If terminating there are a few, clearly defined things listed in Section 119 and these have to be properly logged by letter from the employer to the employee. \n\nTermination can be made but severance pay must be paid as stated in section 67. Anyone employed in Thailand whether Thai, Western, ET, yellow people with pink spots must receive a notice period not less than their normal pay cycle - so weekly paid, your employer must give you at least a week\'s notice and the notice period must include a full pay period in salary. Monthly paid then must include at least a full pay cycle.\n\nThere is no gray area here. Always go with a Thai. Always speak to a supervisor if anyone tries to fob you off with the \'this doesn\'t apply to you\' crap. Nearly all schools will settle at the initial arbitration meeting. In my case, from filing to having a face to face across a table with a mediator took just four weeks. \n\nThey will want to settle, as unlike the UK and possibly other countries, here in Thailand you are not able to seek the payment of legal costs from the losing side, so if the school doesn\'t settle they will need a lawyer ( very expensive and the cost is their cost alone ) \n\nThe service is free maybe 80 baht photocopy costs for your filed documents and getting a Thai friend to translate everything English into Thai.',1,'2014-04-03 03:52:20','storage/legacy/files/postbox/justice.gif','2014-04-03 03:52:20','2014-04-03 19:07:21'),(22517,'Things have changed for qualified teachers in Bangkok','things-have-changed-for-qualified-teachers-in-bangkok','Depressed','It is a shame that Bangkok has become stagnant in so many ways.

Every school that I have spoken with in person offers 25,000 to 32,000 baht a month and very little help getting settled. Unlike the old days, where schools would give you an advance to do the border run and pay for the non-immigrant B visa, along with all the other stuff. Nowadays, it doesn\'t seem to happen.\n\nI got down to my last 4,000 baht and began to look at Issan and northern Thailand for potential employment. Lo and behold the pay is the same (or a little better) but the cost of living is cheaper. Much cheaper. I made the unknown fatal error by not comparing both Bangkok and Issan before I went to the city on false assumptions. Luckily, I have a wife and family in Laos and they can help me a little to get started. The border is closer so it takes less time and less money to do the border run. Some schools will actually cover all the costs too.\n\nIt is a shame that Bangkok has become stagnant in so many ways. Wages are falling, cost are rising and call-backs or even acknowledgements are very slow in coming. I recommend that anyone coming to Bangkok to work should first weigh up the living costs and compare wages at the upcountry schools. It may be a \'less is more\' situation.\n\nI am packed and leaving this week. Doubt I will return to Bangkok for a long time.

This can use up both permits in as short a time as two semesters. By staying at the same school that period can be up to 4 years (2 permits of 2 years each).\n\nTo the best of my knowledge this affects all schools covered under OBEC and all schools covered under the Private Schools Act.',1,'2014-05-16 05:05:02','storage/legacy/files/postbox/rtape.jpg','2014-05-16 05:05:02','2014-05-16 20:08:03'),(23725,'License issues','license-issues','Teacher in Khon Kean','Does anyone know how to do a teacher licence renewal?','While it is sometimes a long road to getting the so called yellow card (I have) the next hurdle is the renewal.

From that date, apparently no one will be allowed to use back-to-back 60-day tourist visas to enter Thailand. You can use one 60-day tourist visa to enter the country, but forget about using a second one.  Apparently you\'ll be refused entry at the airport as well as any land border.\n\nThai immigration has apparently brought in these rules to crack down on the number of people (and there are plenty of them) who are using tourist visas to continually extend their stay in Thailand and in many cases, work illegally.\n\n(You\'ll notice I\'m using the word \'apparently\' a lot because it\'s often foolish to quote any newspaper article or forum post as \'gospel\' - especially where Thai immigration rules are concerned. There\'s often a sense of well, let\'s wait and see what unfolds.\n\nI\'m obviously going to come at this topic  from the angle of \'schools hiring new teachers\' because isn\'t the following a common scenario - and has been for some time?\n\nA new teacher arrives in the country with a tourist visa (it\'s nigh on impossible to secure a non-immigrant B at a Thai consulate in your own country visa unless you have a concrete job offer and the appropriate paperwork)\n\nThe new teacher finds a teaching job and then has to do a \'visa run\' to a neighboring country (Malaysia, Laos, etc) with supposedly the correct paperwork given to them by their new employer (school) to support their application for a non-immigrant B visa.\n\nThen it\'s all in the lap of the Gods. Perhaps a document is missing from the teacher\'s application? Perhaps the consulate in the neighboring country has its own agenda? Perhaps the officer got up in a bad mood?\n\nWe know from past experience that there is no guarantee that a teacher\'s application for a non-B visa will be successful. \n\nSo under the new rules (coming in August) should the teacher\'s application for a non-B visa be refused, they are then technically \'stranded\'. It seems there\'s no point getting another tourist visa, because you won\'t be allowed into Thailand?\n\nI may be totally wrong about this - and I hope I am - but don\'t a lot of schools still operate along these lines when it comes to hiring new teachers?\n\nAnd then of course, what about those agencies and schools who for whatever reason, just can\'t get their teachers work permits - and so make their foreign teachers do border run after border run. Those days are gone. Or they will be very soon.\n\nWe\'d love to hear from you. Does your school hire new foreign teachers and send them on a visa run to a neighboring country?

I think \'apparently\' is the correct word to use during this debate because I think people need to look at this situation realistically.\n\nI know many \"teachers\" work here on tourist visas or Non B visas without a work permit etc. I think that is a given. I think it is also fair to say that no \"qualified\" teacher, and I mean one who has just spent 4 years of hard graft in university, is going to pick Thailand as their preferred teaching destination and work essentially for peanuts. Those at international schools obviously yes. They pay a proper salary in line with their qualifications. \n\nI think the clampdown may continue for a few months or until they realize that Thailand\'s school English programs are falling apart. Then, I suspect things will return to normal. My personal opinion goes back to the \'degree no degree\' debate which always kicks up a stink and ruffles a few feathers. \n\nI do have to stick by what I say though and feel that if Thailand took a more sensible approach to foreign teachers then a lot of this could be avoided. Competence is needed more than a degree. A competency test compiled by a reputable outside agency should be used and if a foreigner can pass that and has a Tefl certificatel or the like, they should be accepted to teach. \n\nThere are many people in this country who can do a decent job and are happy to do that for the low wage offered. The wage offered is usually all the schools can afford. It will be a sad day, the day Thai authorities decide they don\'t need English. The world runs on it at most levels. We will have to wait and see what happens, although not famous for it, I am sure common sense will prevail and maybe if there are sectors that need clamping down on, they concentrate on those rather than sectors that are actually giving something to Thailand for relatively little reward.',1,'2014-07-19 01:56:00','','2014-07-19 01:56:00','2014-07-19 16:04:01'),(23831,'The grass is greener!','the-grass-is-greener','Mike','I had five excellent years living and working in Thailand, but the nonsensical bureaucracy eventually drove me away','I have been an avid reader of the ajarn.com website for over nine years.

If a shortage of unqualified teachers results  from the crackdown then in the longer run it will be a good thing. The song and dance that has been sung here over the last few years ( \"shortage of teachers\", \"English education dying,\" etc. ) is no different than was sung in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and other countries when they clamped down.\n\nAt the end of the day there was no shortage of qualified teachers (degrees + TEFL) and their systems continue to improve (7 of the top 10 ranked countries (PISA scores 2012) are now in Asia and notably the UK (26th overall) and US (36th overall) are not in the top 10). \n\nAs far as \"teachers\" getting stranded outside the country because of paperwork to apply for their non-b ... faxes/e-mail attachments are easy enough to do and couriers work overnight across the region if originals are needed. It\'s not that hard to get the paperwork correct or get something sent in when necessary (even if it means a day or two delay).  Again, in my experience, if the \"teacher\" is properly qualified there usually is no issue with the non-b application at a foreign consulate or embassy.\n\nKudos to immigration and the TCT for tightening it all up.  I hope they don\'t backtrack simply for the sake of convenience. \n\nTo those affected teachers... there is no surprise here. This story was written on the wall years ago.  If you are qualified then get your license and don\'t worry.  The paperwork is pretty simple for those with their Thai license. \n\nFor the rest, if you failed to to anything to upgrade your qualifications you have nobody to blame but yourself. You\'ve had 12 years (this all started back in 2002). The day of reckoning is fast approaching. The degree is now what the high school diploma was a generation ago.

What Thailand does have, and will continue to have, is a shortage of qualified teachers because at present the salaries that government or mainstream schools can offer is far below what a large proportion of the teaching fraternity will come and work for. \n\nAdd to this the obvious 8.5 month pay structure which is pretty much the backbone of the current system I cannot see an immediate (within the next few years ) solution to this problem, and this is a problem for the Thai authorities and no-one else. I certainly can\'t see qualified teachers (PGCE etc) scrambling to come here and work a year and be content being paid for two thirds of the year. \n\nI also think Dave is spot on with his comment that the degree today is equivalent to the high school diploma, this is certainly the case in most developed countries now, in fact the degree is becoming increasingly devalued. In the US for example there is much debate whether it is worth getting a degree as most people have one and the benefits regarding earnings no longer make it a viable option for most people. \n\nNo bitching here. I have a degree and I am just quoting what several studies seem to be concluding. Many years ago a room full of applicants would  muster a handful of degrees but a hell of a lot of high school diplomas, Now, you just have a room full of degrees, no separation, just personality and competence. So you employ who you think the most competent person as they all have the degree anyway. \n\nThailand\'s problems are not small by any means and there is nothing to be gained by cracking a hazelnut with a sledgehammer. I think the Thai authorities know what they have to do and I think they will do a good job.  Things take time and in all fairness this might have started back in 2002 but in reality nothing has been addressed as yet. Token bits and pieces maybe - but if they are starting now then they have a long way to go.

We easily blend in with Thai culture than westerners, and understand Thai people better because of cultural and regional similarities. Yet salaries for Filipinos are being priced like unsold perishable items on sale in Tesco.\n\nYes, maybe because there are too many Filipinos in the country so therefore the supply is more than the demand.

It has allowed me to live for a decade, the first half of which was spent indulging in such hedonistic debauchery it would have made Nero blush, comfortably in Southeast Asia','It all started a long time ago in a land far far away. Like-minded people gathered asking questions, they would seek out teachers who would help them to better understand the world and their lives. From Socrates to Pericles, to Plato and Aristotle education began with the noblest and purest of intentions. Socrates refused payment for his teaching as he believed that knowledge should not only be given just to those who could afford it.\n\nWhat follows are my thoughts following ten years of prostituting off my mother tongue to the highest bidder around Southeast Asia. For many of my experiences the setting has almost always been in schools, but sadly the subject has seldom been education.\n\nNative English Speaking Teachers – A Soldier in an Army of Linguistic Missionaries\n\nThe teachers you get coming to Southeast Asia are some of life’s most unique individuals. 95% of them fall in to one of the two following categories. \n\nType ones come to teach in Southeast Asia to avoid debt or custodial sentences, they are too far gone to hang on to the coattails of social acceptability in their native countries, too introverted, too extroverted or just too perverted to fit in anywhere else. They wander through the countries of Southeast Asia with a head full of confused grammar and loose morals. \n\nThen you get those poor bastards who come here unaware as to just how depraved and twisted this place is. They leave behind good jobs, with good prospects, and find themselves teaching in an educational vacuum, desperately trying to cling on to the values they know to be true, but they dare not utter. Right away these people know they have entered an environment where knowledge is not just ignored but aggressively attacked. It is a place where black can be white, where sometimes two plus two does equal five and where it can be considered just too damn dangerous to have fire drills.\n\nIn ten years I have seen many different types of teachers pass through schools, I’ve seen a few pass out in classrooms too. At first being an expat and working in a school was weird, it was like mixing the most mindbending twisted holiday at night, with a responsible job during daylight hours. \n\nNeedless to say such compartmentalization of these two disparate worlds was not always possible. On one occasion I recall a teacher turning up for work at three o’clock in the afternoon because they had an appointment with the principal about the renewal of his contract. Exactly when he’d started drinking and if indeed he had actually stopped, it was impossible to tell, he had to look for work elsewhere. \n\nTen years ago you were unlikely to find a teacher sober before lunchtime, indeed you would be lucky to find many teachers in school prior to lunchtime. A decade ago you could and did do anything, drinking until three in the morning when you started teaching at eight was nothing unusual.\n\nTimes have changed, things have become more serious. Maybe I’ve just changed and become sober.\n\nGlobalization, Indoctrination and Linguistic Imperialism\n\nWhy is there such a need for English to be taught around the world? Why is English the lingua franca? Why is it that these countries must have native English speakers teaching their children, after all when I learned French I did so from an English person? Could it be that it is all bullshit?\n\nThere has been a long held belief that a western education is better. In turn there is that western teachers must also be better. These are beliefs that are consistently reinforced through linguistic imperialism, defined as: \"the dominance asserted and retained by the establishment and continuous reconstitution of structural and cultural inequalities between English and other languages.\"\nPhillipson, Robert (1992), \n\nEnglish is the language of capitalism and a vital tool of the global hegemony. The ceaseless reinforcement of the importance of the English language through the pervasive international marketing of American brands, and rhetoric used by institutions like the British Council. English is accepted by institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank as the common language. \n\nIt is reasonable to expect that in a world of such international trade that there must be a common language, in this case English, but that in no way means that native English speaking countries provide the best education nor necessarily the best teachers to teach the English language.\nLast years report by the Organization for Economic and Cultural Diversity (OECD) showed how these five countries fared against one another:\n\n  Literacy	Maths	Science\nSingapore	3	2	3\nJapan	4	7	4\nKorea	5	5	7\nUnited Kingdom	23	26	21\nUnited States	24	36	28\n\nObviously these results are unflattering to the two major English speaking countries, even more so when you consider that Singapore’s language of instruction is English and they severely out performed both the United States and the United Kingdom in literacy. This raises the question would Singaporean English teachers be more effective teachers of English to Southeast Asian children? Simply the answer is yes - but they would command huge salaries.\n\nSo why are native English speaking teachers still in so much demand throughout Southeast Asia? There remains a belief, that still carries some truth, that a degree from the west is of greater value than a degree from a Southeast Asian country. Whilst this may be true the only thing that prevents Southeast Asian students from getting a degree from a western university is the cash. \n\nNowadays having the financial resources is more important than having the academic ability. Western Universities are run like businesses and they charge a premium for foreign students. This brings us back to where we started and Socrates refusing to be paid as knowledge should not only be given to those that can afford it. Truth be told though no knowledge has to be given, nor often is, just a degree certificate that proved you paid to attend a university for three years.\n\nEducation, in particular English language education in foreign countries has become an industry, which feeds off of, and reinforces the beliefs of linguistic imperialism. What must be held as most important is what a student is capable of learning, not what language they are capable of learning it in.\n\nThe truth is nobody but the students should profit from education.\n\nLooking back upon my 10 years in Southeast Asia I can state categorically that linguistic imperialism rocks, it has allowed me to live for a decade, the first half of which was spent indulging in such hedonistic debauchery it would have made Nero blush, comfortably in Southeast Asia. Yes there might be some moral questions that remain unanswered, but so long as I’m alright I’ll just keep turning a blind eye and a deaf ear.',1,'2014-09-21 04:44:54','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb24.jpg','2014-09-21 04:44:54','2014-09-21 19:07:55'),(24033,'Evolution of English: British vs American','evolution-of-english-british-vs-american','Robert','I have no problem with British English although from the American point of view it is somewhat uppity and rigid.','This writing is in response to an article I read about linguistics and language in the blogs. It was closed and I couldn\'t post there.\n\nI have been teaching for many years abroad and I found that most text in Asia are UK based but the spoken language tends to be American style. This influence comes from media mostly and marketing. I have no problem with British English although from the American point of view it is somewhat uppity and rigid.\n\nEvery student and teacher I have trained preferred the American style. Yes, we use the British text but the differences are minor and easily explained. My complaint is English has way too many words for the same thing. We could remove many words and make it much more simpler. However, that would be asking a lot from all English speakers and considered watering down. Oh, well.\n\nBritish English was empirical as was the nature of the empire. American capitalist were not so sharing for free and thus the written and colonial style was until decolonization British. So what happened. The answer is WAR.\n\nThe US military as had a permanent presence in Asia for many years now. It actually began during the Spanish American War with the Philippines then WW2, Korea, Vietnam and so forth. \n\nWe did not bring text books or teachers we brought money and innovation, new ideas and business opportunities. In essence, capitalism which is American by design pushed out British influence in favor of greed. Therefore, business English appeared and it evolved into what it is today.\n\nWhat I do find interesting is this. My son was born and raised in the UK. His mother is British. It is all he knows. I also have a guy from New Zealand I work with, and I have met many friends from British Commonwealths. To the letter I find they cannot understand American English nor read 50% of it with comprehension. Yet, any American can read any text from the UK, listen to conversations, and view their media and understand it completely.  The only exception are people from Australia, who have been profoundly impacted from the US and seem to understand us fine. So I wonder what the real problem is.\n\nIt isn\'t any wonder people prefer the American English to other forms. Accents and idioms excluded, the basic form of English is the same. \n\nThe only complaints I ever hear are from British and New Zealanders who just don\'t quite understand the most widely spoken form of their base language in the world.  My director is one of these people. \n\nRecently he made it clear that he only wanted to hire teachers from New Zealand because he believes their curriculum and language pronunciation is the only legitimate language to be taught.

Whether it is or not, the letter is indicative of the TCT’s capricious nature.\n\nOne comment on the Thailand Teaching forum read, “Yet another policy that is not officially published on the website or communicated to teachers in any way; we are left to discover it by accidental misfortune.”\n\nThat’s one of the more level-headed comments we read and before anyone could suggest we all keep calm and pass the somtam, foreign teachers all over the internet were doing their best Chicken Little impersonations.\n\n“If they want to lose all the legit teachers, that’s the way to do it.” posted one member of Facebook’s ESL Teachers in Thailand group.\n\nAnother replied soon after, “Good luck to Thailand because there won’t be any teachers left in the country within a couple of months.”\n\nPerhaps most reactionary comments is typified here, “I can’t help but get the impression that the [TCT] isn’t particularly happy with the idea of foreign teachers in Thailand.”\n\nBack to the land of reason and rationale, many comments mentioned legitimate pitfalls, “Sending directly to the (TCT) seems like a recipe for lost mail and no one being held accountable when the paperwork fails, causing chaos for teachers and schools.”\n\nAnother good point relates to documents not written in English, “A verification letter from a German, French or Italian uni would need to be translated, which is difficult to do through a sealed envelope!”\n\nStill another good point relates to schools’ name changes, ““My university has a different name so I don’t know how this would work. The headed paper and seal would be of a different name to that on my certificate!”\n\nWhile some claim the sky is falling, others (including the author of this article) fully expect this regulation to disappear as quietly and quickly as it started. Any foreigner teacher who’s worked in Thailand for a few years knows how routinely regulations come and go. How do we know?\n\nFirst, since 2006 the TCT’s Thai Culture, Ethics and Language Course (a requirement for all foreigners) has started and stopped more times than we can remember. The TCT’s Professional Knowledge Tests are currently in limbo, despite hundreds of teachers spending tens of thousands of baht to pass them. And as recently as last August, the head of immigration was sidelined just after he announced that his department would adhere to its own directives and stop allowing back-to-back entries on tourist visas.\n\nIf past behaviour is an indicator of future behaviour, it seems reasonable to expect that the TCT will see the error of its ways, or at least be forced to do so and accept transcripts in place of these verification letters. Let’s just hope that happens before the pot stirrers gain any more unfounded momentum',1,'2014-11-17 07:05:33','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb41.jpg','2014-11-17 07:05:33','2014-11-17 21:09:34'),(24091,'Mastering the Thai tones with football results','mastering-the-thai-tones-with-football-results','Del','There seem to be more and more people around with an interest in learning Thai, and the most common problem they face is the fact that Thai is a tonal language.','There seem to be more and more people around with an interest in learning Thai, and the most common problem they face is the fact that Thai is a tonal language. Personally, I have never made an effort to learn the tone rules – my language acquisition comes purely from the listen and repeat method, in the same way that a child would learn its mother tongue.\n\nIt did however get me thinking about how we use tones in English which reminded me of a hilarious sketch I saw many years ago where a reporter on TV read the classified results with the wrong intonation. If you were listening only to the tone rather than the words it gave the impression that the wrong team had won. \n\nAs everybody (English anyway) knows this Saturday afternoon ritual, it can be used to practice the 5 Thai tones.  Let’s start with a home win \n\nArsenal 3 – Manchester United 1  - the 3 would be the Thai rising tone and the 1 would be the Thai falling tone.\n\nTo master the mid tone think of a score draw e.g. Liverpool  1 – Chelsea  1 – easy!\n\nThe low tone can also be mastered by thinking of the most boring 90 minutes  of football ending in a 0-0 draw,  e.g.  Aston Villa  0 – Everton  0.\n\nFinally for the high tone you just have to think of the most incredible result from a high scoring game\n\ne.g. Manchester City  5 – Newcastle  7\n\nIt’s important to note that it’s only the score not the team name that gets the tone – here’s a recap.\n\nArsenal 3 (R)  - Manchester United 1 (F)\nLiverpool 1 (M) – Chelsea 1 (M)\nAston Villa 0 (L) – Everton 0 (L)\nManchester City 5 (H) – Newcastle 7 (H)\n\n(H) High Tone, (R) Rising Tone, (M) Mid Tone, (F) Falling Tone, (L) Low Tone \n',1,'2014-11-18 06:21:58','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb22.jpg','2014-11-18 06:21:58','2014-11-18 20:08:59'),(24099,'The TCT letter concerns','the-tct-letter-concerns','Licensed Teacher','The recent letter concerning the university letter for a teacher\'s license is not new.

When I came to Thailand in 2005 I was working in another country and was told by my headmaster to get a letter for my own records in case I lost my transcripts etc...for verification \n\nI went to see my family in the US and luckily I got my transcripts and letter of graduation verification to go with my degree certificate. When I got to Thailand I had one bag stolen. It was a laptop case that I used to carry my papers in (no laptop). In it was my letter and transcripts but not my degrees which I kept with my passport.\n\nLong story short. At my first job to get a permit to teach and not a license I was asked for a letter from the university. I emailed them and told them where I was and the address of the school. In two weeks I received my letter and went to the permit office and it took 30 minutes. I had a permit.\n\nIn 2010, I got my teacher\'s license and all it took was my school sending in the letter and my BS Ed degree. It took 2 months total. I have now renewed my license again and all is well.\n\nSo for you that worry, don\'t! Just email your university to send your letter to the school you are at or wherever and it should take about two weeks. I didn\'t have to pay a fee for it even though they sent the transcripts and the post fee. If you are a registered teacher your information is online at the country or state licensed teachers section in the Dept. of Education section website. Easy stuff so don\'t worry.

It is a combination of two distinct verbs: คิด (kit) is the Thai equivalent of the English verb \"to think\" while ถึง (teung) is that of the verb \"to reach.\"\n\nThe English verb \"to miss\" comes from the Old English verb \"missan\" meaning \"fail to hit\", which comes from the Old Norse verb \"missa\" meaning \"to lack\", which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic verb \"missjan\" meaning \"to go wrong.\"\n\nIn other words, the common English expression \"I miss you\" basically boils down to \"I am trying to connect with you, but I cannot because you are not here.\" Just like throwing things at a target and missing every time because the target is nowhere to be found. \n\nThe Thai expression ผมคิดถึงคุณ (pohm kit-teung khoon), however, literally means \"I reach you by thinking about you.\"\n\nIn English, the connection is lost because thinking cannot bridge the distance between you and the person you \"miss.\"\n\nIn Thai, the connection is not lost because thinking bridges that very same distance.\n\nSo when your Thai significant other asks you, \"Do you miss me?\" (in English) less than five minutes after saying goodbye to you in person and you think, \"That\'s impossible!

Online teaching is life changing as there are so many advantages to doing it.\n\n1) At home with your family (not away in another area teaching and something goes wrong at home and you can\'t do anything about until you get home on the week end)\n2) NOT having to put up with morning and afternoon traffic dodging chickens, old people on bikes and people driving up the wrong side of the road motorcycles/vehicles. \n3) Not having to put up with the outside weather conditions especially the rainy season. That season is the worst to drive around in.  Winter for me is the second worst season to drive in especially if your on a motorcycle.\n4) Forget about lesson plans, mid and final term tests, huge amounts of down time lost (student activity days) and putting up with the daily b.s. that happens with-in the education system.\n5) Actually enjoy teaching; on line teaching is extremely fun to do and I actually really enjoy teaching now. ( I became quite frustrated with the current /long standing education system)\n\nLiving in the north I have been able to achieve my initial goal of obtaining a standard monthly Thai income. As you are probably aware the north\'s wages are fairly low 20000, 25000, 27/28000 to 30-35 0000 (only some schools). 25000 a month seems to be the standard wage.  This goal has been achieved via one on line teaching web site so if you live in the north and on the average wage. it is very feasible. \n\nMy second goal is to achieve around 30-40000 a month but utilizing two on line teaching websites. This I feel is achievable as I am currently on line teaching part time and do have a number of extra hours that I can utilize during the week. \n\nThe way I see it is I am gaining overseas income (Japanese yen for now) and perhaps US dollars at a later date. I am NOT making any Thai baht at all. Therefore I am not officially being paid by a Thai school/language school/company. If I do make more money than the Thai tax free threshold this is usually cancelled out being married to a Thai. I am utilizing my time wisely at home and with my family.  I am just on the internet enjoying my pass time/interest.\n\nRecently Paypal has put a 21 day holding policy on any funds received as a payment. This can be a huge blow to a lot of people. I got my monthly income recently with a hold of 21 days initially. I called Paypal and really explained what the account was mainly used for Premier (tutoring/on line purchases). i told them that I am NOT in business and I am NOT a seller. They released my funds quickly. I was also told by Paypal to inform them by e mail when a payment is received before a click on accept payment then the funds will be released quickly.\n\nI am now looking forward to achieving my second goal as mentioned earlier. \n\nOnline teaching does change your life.',1,'2015-01-17 01:17:23','','2015-01-17 01:17:23','2015-01-17 15:03:24'),(24262,'Advice for nervous newbies','advice-for-nervous-newbies','Mark','The best way to overcome your anxiety in the classroom is to know your stuff.

I have experienced an unusual problem although I suspect not entirely unheard of but nonetheless irritating. \n\nI have an education degree which was predominately done online, and whilst largely issued using previous credits I did sit a number of exams relating to certain modules covered in that type of degree.\nThat however is quite irrelevant. It serves some purpose but not all.\n\nMy main degree was taken back in the early 80\'s and due to several home moves both the degree certificate and transcript was lost, stolen, thrown away - who really knows. It\'s fair to say I didn\'t consider it an issue mainly based on the fact I didn\'t know they were missing as I had never really needed them throughout my career in the UK.\n\nI did apply for a job back in the late 1990\'s which required them and it was then I found they were missing however as that project didn\'t proceed I failed to do anything about it.\n\nNow in the present I was thinking about a change and consequently the jobs I look at require both as the basic online/ modular based degree won\'t satisfy the market.\n\nHerein I find the problem, I have now discovered that the university/college which provided the degree decided in 2001 to outsource their record keeping.

Thai \'educators\' prefer people who do not challenge them intellectually, and who do not care about academic standards - that is, about aiming for the cognitive and language skills benchmarks for smart people, and about the principles of academic integrity. Most of the time they are more happy with unqualified and/or inexperienced teachers as a result.\n\nWages have not gone up in the twelve years since I was there either. I actually did some Thai studies courses at university, or took an interest in their country, which was a complete waste of time career-wise. It never helped me get a better job. All it did was add to my workload, because everyone was constantly creeping to my office for translation. (It is an odd thing, too, that Thai educators who are completely unable to write a coherent sentence, and who can be barely understood - and who are supposed to be foreign language teachers, or recognize how hard learning another language is - it is an odd thing  they should be so disrespectful to people who are trying to grapple with their language, or so self-assured that they can speak English better than any foreign person could ever speak in Thai. \n\nPlain disrespectful they are, a lot of them. But that is the national ethos, isn\'t it.\n\nSure enough, Thailand is a \'poor\' country, in terms of the wages people tend to make. Although we should not forget some of the world\'s richest people come from Thailand - say no more.  \n\nA lot of the reason salaries are so low for Western teachers, however, is simply that the Thais, as we have touched on already, do not appreciate the value of a good education. They think the money they pay is a fortune to have someone come and conduct a few sing-alongs, which is what their idea of a good English class entails. They think it is a fortune to pay for a lot of the types that such low wages attract.\n\nBut that is how it is. Certainly no use getting any of them to listen to reason. You might as well speak to a piece of wood. Or you could write a letter here and vent your spleen to everyone else who does not matter, or who is powerless to effect change.\n\nYou have the choice of enjoying some time there for reasons other than the salary, and the accolade of your peers - and certainly Thai university students, at least, can be a lot of fun to teach. It is a good way to garner some experience. And there are a lot of nice people in Thailand, the teaching establishment is not everyone.\n\nOr you can just head off to any one of the other many countries that hire English teachers, and that offer very good wages and conditions. And, if you like Thailand, just spend your three months holiday there every year instead.',1,'2015-03-08 03:38:16','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb24.jpg','2015-03-08 03:38:16','2015-03-08 17:05:17'),(25202,'So what makes a good teacher?','so-what-makes-a-good-teacher','Mark','A good teacher to me is someone who has a good understanding of everything that is is expected of him from his employers.','\"But it doesn\'t mean that they are good teachers\".

They are often used as a preliminary way of screening candidates when schools in Thailand hire from abroad. They are also used by schools outside Thailand to \'poach\' teachers. Myanmar does this a lot!\n\nSure, you can get the lighting and sound adjusted for optimum performance and you can even tweak your internet connection so it won\'t be interrupted... but if your prospective employer can\'t understand you then that job may slip through your digital fingers!\n\nIt\'s hard enough for Thais to understand English, and without the body language and other advantages of a \'proper\' interview, you may find yourself either having your statements misunderstood or simply not being understood at all.\n\nHere are some basic ideas that may help you to cruise through an online interview and overcome the handicaps that this type of interview poses. These ideas should also help you even if the interviewers are themselves native speakers.\n\nAs this list is a long one and the subject matter is unending I\'ll just highlight some points of importance and you can follow up these by Googling for more information.\n\n1 - Breathing! Take deep breaths and calm yourself before the interview starts.\n\n2 - Before the interview, practice enunciating your answers. Read answers to questions into your phone or computer and play them back. How do they sound to you? Cut down on the \'umm\'s and \'er\'s!\n\n3 - Slow down the tempo and turn up the volume of your answers and say the words clearly. You don\'t have to sound condescending to pull this off and you may want to practice this before the interview.\n\n4 - Think about your answers before you say them out loud. The interviewer won\'t mind waiting a few seconds, especially if the pay off is worth it to him or her.\n\n5 - Learn to listen! One hurdle of this (or any) type of interview is that you are giving answers to questions that nobody has asked. Listen to and understand the question and return a pithy and considered response.\n\n6 - Open your mouth when you speak! This is unbelievably crucial and will go a long way to helping you to be better understood.\n\n7 - Inflection, inflection, inflection! Monotonous speech is boring and difficult to understand, especially on the phone or in a video interview.\n\n8 - Finally, don\'t try to be funny. Your light-hearted banter won\'t translate well over the internet and you\'ll look unprofessional. Interviewers will be able to gauge your personality well enough, without you having to resort to jokes and off-topic anecdotes.\n\nGood luck.\n\nLike I say, this is a subject that can be explored forever and I\'ve covered just some brief points.

This would mean substantial increasing the salary for any teacher who obtain a teachers license but as we all know this is never going to happen. ','So the attempt to improve the quality of NES teachers in Thailand through the teacher license requirement has already started to backfire. \n\nI have been hearing  more and more about  a number of good long term NES teachers who are now having to leave Thailand due to not having or being able to get a teachers license even though some have masters degrees but not in education. \n\nAs there are a number of SE Asian counties they can work at that do not have these requirements and where they can actually make more money. Also as one of them pointed out to me: \"Do you actually think most teachers here in Thailand making 30,000 to 40,000 baht a month are going to spend all that money and time to get credits in education on a masters level just to get a Thai teachers license?  Then when they finally get it their salary stays exactly the same? And do you think Thailand is going to attract better qualified teachers to replace them when they leave?\" \n\nThe answer is no but what it will produce is even more short term inexperience teachers in Thailand replacing the long term experience ones who have to leave. Most of the new ones will probably be young teachers/travelers who will just leave after the two-year waiver expires. \n\nAnd this cycle will just continue until the standard of NES teacher becomes so bad maybe someone within TCT will finally wake up and realize the disaster they have created.  \n\nIf Thailand is really serious about improving the quality of NES teachers here then they need to get serious about paying them properly. This would mean substantial increasing the salary for any teacher who obtain a teachers license but as we all know this is never going to happen.  \n\nThe net result of all this, which is already happening, will be that many good, experienced long term teachers will leave Thailand and be replaced by inexperienced and no more or probably even less qualified short term teachers. \n\nWhat a great way to improve the teaching standards of NES teachers.

The people who come up with these nuisance books have never been outside their own country and have no idea what they are doing.\n\nThe general distinction between the two  (in my experience) is that British based books are harder to learn from. The British books make too many assumptions about what students already know.  They focus more on grammar and the books are just too \'busy\' and dull.\n\nThe Americans make it easier (more white space/pictures, etc) but they still use the word \'soccer\' so they obviously haven\'t tippee-toed into the real world of TEFL either.

Great to have you on board. I hope we have a long and fruitful relationship. But before we begin all that, please read and understand the following. If there are bits you don\'t like, then turn away now and never look back. This is a non-negotiable document and there are no changes going to be made.\n\nFirst of all, please understand that your primary function is to enrich my life. You know, make it better. I, in return, will endeavor to do the best that I can to enrich yours. To make your life easier from the get-go, I have written down a few ideas that will help us to get along well...\n\nFirst... Food! Being hungry is an opportunity, not a malady. Please don\'t look at me quizzically and say \"I\'m hungry!\" like I\'ve done something wrong. In fact, don\'t even tell me at all. We\'ve got a big kitchen and there\'s a market just outside. This hunger thing is something you can fix yourself. \n\nOh, and please don\'t ask me to try anything you\'re eating. It all looks revolting and I have a sensitive stomach. And if we\'re eating out, I\'ll pay for what you eat, NOT what you order! So, go ahead and order as many dishes as you can, but be aware I\'ll only be paying for the ones you finish.\n\nFor my part, I will never ask you to try anything that I cook and you can have an unlimited budget for food.\n\nNext up: The silent treatment. If I have annoyed you in some way, the best thing you can do is to tell me about it. This way, we can quickly get it resolved and move on. If you are giving me the silent treatment then sleep outside or at your parent\'s house until you feel like talking to me again.\n\nThe silent treatment is a waste of life. The negativity stresses me out and as a result, my quality of life suffers. Most importantly - it doesn\'t actually solve anything!\n\nGossip! During our liaison, we\'ll be doing lots of things together. We\'ll be flying all over the world, going on days out to the beach and having lots of other fun times in each other\'s company. During all this excitement it\'s worth noting that the entire time will be spent with just you and I for company. No-one else, not your family and not your friends.\n\nNow, with this in mind you can draw the conclusion that I have absolutely ZERO interest in your friends or your family. What they do is of massively little consequence to me. To this end, it\'s going to be up to you to find friends to gossip with. Thank heavens for the internet and smart phones.\n\nWhat\'s on the big screen! I have abdicated all control over the TV to you. This extends to movies. You get to choose what\'s on every time and I will sit through anything you want me to and I won\'t complain. The TV is your domain and I won\'t ever mention anything about what you like and what you watch. Your part in all of this is to pick a program or movie quickly and STICK WITH IT!\n\nIf there\'s something I really must see then I\'ll go to the movies on my own or downloaded it to my computer.\n\nComplaining. I\'m not a complainer by nature but when things aren\'t right, sometimes I\'ll ask for them to be fixed. I know that this isn\'t the \'Thai way!\' but I\'m not Thai. So, here\'s your end of the deal... support me 100% when I decide that complaining is the best way to resolve a situation. It\'s not that much to ask of a partner, is it? If it is, then proceed no further. \n\nJealousy. I\'ll never give you a reason to be jealous. I won\'t flirt with, chat to, or in anyway engage in the company of women in (or not in) your presence. I understand that it\'ll take time for you to believe this, but be patient. I\'m a \'one woman man\' and I do NOT want my penis in the blender!\n\nAn issue for you - a tissue for me! Finally: I masturbate. Get over it! But I\'ll do it either when you\'re out of the house or (if I\'m desperate) when you\'re fast asleep. If this is an issue then leave now. Find yourself a guy who lies about whether he masturbates or not!\n\nHello? Where did she go? Bloody hell, she\'s gone.

After almost 19 years on and off in this country, it seems clearly entrenched in its ways and proud of it, arrogantly so and to its own detriment.\n\nTeaching in Thailand remains a pedagogical wasteland of primarily unqualified people - not all but far too many - who simply have no business standing in classrooms in any country in the world; a short TEFL course does not a teacher make and neither does standing in a classroom allow one to be entitled to the title \"teacher\".  \n\nThat being said, there is a pool of talented dedicated teaching professionals in Thailand, so what future lays on the horizon for teachers of all ilk?\n\nWill Thailand attract pedagogically knowledgeable professional teachers over the next few years? Perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel.  \n\nHighly educated, experienced and professional Filipino educators are available and coming in droves to lift Thailand out its quagmire of Anglophone linguistic incompetency, and thank God they are doing so because Thailand needs a pool of talented qualified pedagogically trained teachers standing in its classrooms, not the rabble that currently dominates too much of the field.  \n\nSo as Filipinos move in to become a significant part, possibly the dominant force, of the teaching community in Thailand, how will Thailand respond over the next few years with regards to fair and reasonable compensation packages for those with serious teaching qualifications coming from their ASEAN community neighborhood?\n\nIt seems abundantly clear that Thailand\'s leaders and the business community are extremely motivated to integrate the country into the ASEAN community, mainly as a result of perceived economic benefits that Thailand will achieve as industrial leaders within the region. \n\nThe question thus seems obvious - why are Thai government officials, business leaders, and the citizenry so unwilling to compensate foreign teachers, especially Filipinos, for the professional work they are doing to ensure that Thailand itself can succeed economically with the ASEAN framework?  \n\nAnd will this unfair and unreasonable attitude of indentured servitude change over the next five years?  I think not.  Thais remained committed to one thing and one thing only, Thailand.  Foreigners are to be used for the benefit of the development of Thailand and Thai people, not for the gain and development of the external \"others\".  \n\nForeign teachers in Thailand need to face reality and understand that expectations of change, in my opinion, are simply unrealistic.  For the foreseeable future it seems we will still see salaries sitting at an average of 22,000 baht per month for arriving Filipino teachers and 30,000 baht per month for \"falangs\" when working for Thai government schools and teacher placement agencies. \n\nBut here is the kicker folks, there is a ton of money available in the Thai education fund to compensate foreign teachers fairly but it is being skimmed off the top at every level and at every opportunity; a symptom of Thailand is for Thais.  \n\nOne significant cold sore contributing to low teacher salaries in Thailand is the rise of the teacher placement agencies (TPAs).  Will this change in the next five years, not in my opinion.  \n\nIn fact, the next five years seems set to see a continued rise in the TPAs as the dominant recruitment force in landscape of Thailand teaching.  Forget the reasons. It is what it is.  The important issue here is this is one of the fundamental factors as to why teacher salaries will remain low in Thailand for years to come.  \n\nThe Thais have yet again seen where money can be made at the expense of the foreign \"others\" and there is little hope that now the pot of gold has been discovered, that Thais will let go of the honey pot.  Rest assured this situation will get worse before it gets better.  \n\nNote that up until a few years ago when TPAs became a huge factor in the Thailand teaching market, teachers received 12-month contracts with several reasonable benefits.  So how is that we have all taken a step back towards the middle ages in salaries, contract stipulations, and the cutting of benefits while being tagged with expenses that were traditional born by Thai employers?  Likely this is a direct result of the rise of TPAs and their desire to profit in every possible way.  \n\nThailand continues to face many challenges in its drive towards ASEAN integration and linguistic development over the next few years.  \n\nThe country\'s failed efforts to bilingualize its citizenry seems to lay in its xenophobia and fear of colonialism; Anglicization of the nation may just touch too many raw nerves in a nation that perceives itself as above so many others in the region and beyond, a sort of \"Pum jai or die\" attitude seems to prevail.  \n\nWith this dominant attitude within the populous, is it ever likely that foreign English teachers will be sincerely welcomed into Thailand and compensated not only in a manner commensurate with our qualifications and expertise, but also in a context relative to the significant contributions we bring to Thailand and its people and the massive economic benefits that the country receives as it bilingualizes its citizenry?

','The British vs. American English argument is so 1990s. The vast majority of the time an adult Thai today speaks English, they aren\'t talking to an American or UK national. They\'re speaking to a Korean or Japanese or a Chinese national.\n\nConsider Spanish and English. Both have a similar number of native speakers. But English has an additional 2 billion people that speak it as a second language - in addition to its 400 million or so native speakers. It’s the only language where the number of non-native speakers dwarf the number of native speakers.  And it’s why English is far more important than Mandarin even though that Chinese language has a least twice the number of native speakers.\n\nReady or not, English is the language of global business. \n\nConsider the example of Rakuten – Japan’s largest online retailer.  In 2010, CEO Hiroshi Mikitani, mandated that English would be the company’s official language – a change that effected some 7,100 Japanese employees. His goal was to make Rakuten a top internet services company. And that meant that expansion had to come from outside Japan.\n \nOvernight, the Japanese language cafeteria menus were replaced, as were elevator directories and all other “official” company communications. He stated the employees would have to demonstrate competence in an English scoring system within two years – or risk demotion or even dismissal.\n\nSo what happened? Today the “English mandate” has allowed Rakuten to create a much more powerful organization. Three out of the six senior executives in the engineering organization in Tokyo aren’t Japanese as the company aggressively seeks the best talent from around the globe.\n ',1,'2015-07-02 22:23:32','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb9.jpg','2015-07-02 22:23:32','2015-07-03 12:12:33'),(28708,'Asking for more money','asking-for-more-money','Bob','Have any teachers out there been successful in negotiating a better wage during the interview process?

Even though this probably isn\'t the best time of year to apply for teaching positions in Thailand, I\'m certainly not short of offers. I\'ve attended five interviews so far and been offered the job at all of them. Is there a shortage of decent teachers?\n\nI am just curious as to how many teachers attend interviews and ask for more money in terms of salary? I decided within a week of getting to Bangkok that I needed to earn at least 40,000 baht a month but the best offer I\'ve had so far is 35,000 and the school wasn\'t going to pay a penny more. A couple of the other schools I interviewed at said they would consider a better salary, but never came back with an improved offer.

Your qualifications and presentation were fine and are just what we want. We would like to have you join our team.\n\nAt the interview you indicated that the salary offered (33,000 baht a month) was not enough and you suggested that 40,000 baht was the minimum that you could work for. Unfortunately, the salary we offer is the most we are prepared to pay and, actually, it is in line with other schools like ours. We hope you understand and we wish you luck with your future as a teacher in Thailand.\n\nIn an effort to clarify our position, I\'d like to explain the reasons behind this...\n\nFirstly, if we pay you 40,000 a month then, of course, the other teachers are going to want that too - teachers who have been with us for a long time.\n\nNext, by paying you 33,000 baht (and NOT 40,000 baht) we are saving the school 84,000 baht a year. That\'s a considerable chunk of change and can be better spent on a new Jacuzzi for the owner\'s bathroom.\n\nAlso, it\'s worth pointing out that it\'s a buyers market. We have had a lot of applicants for this position and they seem happy with the salary that we are offering. They didn\'t have a TEFL certificate and they were generally a bit scruffy, but they seemed more than happy with the beer money allowance.\n\nAs fine a candidate as you are, there are things we look for in an interview and this is where you tripped up. Let me explain...\n\nOur ideal teacher is someone who is quite young and inexperienced. These candidates usually don\'t complain about the pointless and time consuming duties and tasks that will be added to the burden of your 25 hour teaching week.\n\nIn addition, we give precedence to people who look like they will show up on time and don\'t take any sick days. In your interview you seemed far more concerned about being a good teacher. That\'s very sweet, but it\'s not what we\'re looking for.\n\nAlso, in your interview you seemed very keen on some new teaching methods you had picked up and frankly that had us a bit worried. We\'re a traditional Thai school and anything that amounts to a change in the status quo should be feared and rejected outright. It\'s not that we don\'t appreciate your enthusiasm, it\'s just that, well, we have a way of doing things that haven\'t failed us now for a century and, hey, if it\'s not broken, why try to fix it, right?\n\nNext, your ambitions in the classroom are laudable, but in our experience of hiring foreigners, the ones that make the most effort in the classroom tend to be the ones that quit and bugger off home. If you had said at the interview that you were prepared to coast through the syllabus and do what you were told, we\'d have been a bit more enthusiastic about your application.\n\nGoing through the paperwork involved with each new hire is a pain and if you skip town after a few months because you don\'t like the way we do things, then, well... you can see our dilemma!\n\nFinally, we don\'t really like foreigners. Hiring them is a necessary evil and we do it because we have to. That resentment carries through to the way we treat our teachers and our general attitude to them. I\'m afraid that with your general level of above average competence and awareness, you\'ll see through this very quickly and leave.\n\nGood luck in the future and if you change your mind and decide that, actually, you can withstand the pain of our meager salary, then we\'d be happy to give you a chance. In addition, we\'ll act very smugly about it, knowing that we have you over a barrel and can virtually blackmail you into doing just about anything.\n\nThank you for your interest,\n\nSincerely,\n\nEvery public school in Thailand',1,'2015-08-06 19:59:04','storage/legacy/files/postbox/complaining1.jpg','2015-08-06 19:59:04','2015-08-07 10:10:05'),(30186,'Stepping back in time','stepping-back-in-time','Colin','After teaching in English programs for 8 years in the Bangkok area, we moved (and built our own home) in Udon Thani.

This means enforce the laws and rules from the national to the provincial and school levels.  \n  \na) Cease the \'No student fails\" philosophy and make it plain to the parents and students it is by their individual efforts where they will pass or fail in class.\n  \nb) Get the parents involved in the education through regular parent-teacher meetings. These meetings should be where the parents are shown the students performance in the records of grades in class performance and participation.\n\nc) Use the Thais desire to play games to learning experiences. Incentivise the participation of the students and keep records\n\n2) The funding from the national office should not be dog robbed to the pockets of the school administrators.  Truly designate separate funding for teacher, school administration, and classroom supplies salaries.  \n   \na) Pay the teachers for demonstrated and recorded performance.  Scale the pay to training, years experience and performance.\n\nb) prosecute the administrators at provincial and school levels who pocket the \'extra\' funds designated for teacher salaries  \n\n3) Drop the \'save face\' attitude in lessons.  Effectively teach when asked a question listen, understand the question and answer the question.  Do not just say \'yes\' .  Saving \'face\' by telling the questioner any answer without understanding the question is not acceptable to a NES.  This is going to be a battle of Thai culture and asian custom with NES culture and custom.   It will force a different frame of mind thinking process.\n\n4) Go on a sincere and honest teacher search recruitment outside of Thailand with emphasis on finding master teachers who could take sabbaticals to teach in Thailand for 1-3 yrs.  \n\nMake the criteria for selection be degrees in science, mathematics and humanities from Canada, America, England, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines.  Then when hired place them with schools and teachers in the schools, province offices and national office who really speak English to work as a team to produce curriculum at the appropriate level.  \n\nPush the curriculum from the schools up the chain of command.   Supply them with housing appropriate to the standards the teacher left.\n\n5) Most important, communicate without intimidation.  Lead with honesty by example from the top.  Nothing will get or gain support and cooperation for these policy and cultural changes than honest sincere leadership from the top of the chain of command down through the provinces to the schools and classroom.',1,'2015-11-26 20:39:02','storage/legacy/files/postbox/flagwaver.gif','2015-11-26 20:39:02','2015-11-27 10:10:03'),(30475,'Bring in the leaders','bring-in-the-leaders','Just a concerned nobody','My idea is to force early retirement on all the senior staff and administrators that are stuck in the old way','Well, I couldn\'t agree more with James (\'My Ideas for Change\', 27th November)\n\nMy idea is to force early retirement on all the senior staff and administrators that are stuck in the old way.

Perhaps?','In response to \'Kicking out the undesirables\' (Postbox 10th December)\n\nI first of all do not think that anyone from any A.S.E.A.N country would want my Thai wife. I could possibly have seen this happening around nine years ago but she has changed considerably since then. We have been happily married for ten years. I consider ten years to be a short length of time like a spit in a wind storm. I always say \"getting fatter and older together\".\n\nMy wife has a daughter and I was uncle to her when she was six. Now she is sixteen and I am poppa.\n\nMy wife has managed a successful business of eight years of which I am a \'silent\' partner. We have Thai documents (partnership) to prove this. I support the business when needed. \n\nConcerning our daughter\'s education she is in a very prominent high school in Chiang Mai. She is in grade 11. We want her to eventually go to a good university such as C.M.U.. I help support our daughter\'s education too! I am constantly transferring money over from my country to help with our needs. \n\nWe also have a block of land in our local area of which we will build a house on it eventually. I can say that we are not \"hi so\" as my wife comes from a middle class family the same as I do.\n\nI can honestly say that I do not drink alcohol of any kind. I don\'t drink beer, wine, whisky or spirits. I never acquired the taste of alcohol when I was young and in a way moved to Thailand to escape the yobbery, wankery and binge drinking in my country.\n\nNow, you are probably asking yourself how old is this guy? Honestly, I am fifty years old.\n\nDo I fit what Thais are seeking \"disciplined, neat, clean, organized, mentally stable and responsible foreign people\"? Perhaps?\n\nFor eight years I taught English at government high schools, factories, a small language school, an elementary/high school and an elementary school. The first six years were very good. I taught at three high schools. The first year in the south. Three years at a school near Chiang Mai and two years at another school again near Chiang Mai. Teaching took a nosedive after the six years.\n\nIn to the seventh year, I became involved with a teaching agency. This experience was not a good experience and I am glad that I experienced a teaching agency at this very late stage of teaching English in Thailand. I think I would have stopped teaching entirely if I had this experience during my first year of teaching. \n\nAs an example, the foreign teachers employed through the agency at a high school were all told that we would have a three-week term break. This changed dramatically to working an extra two weeks doing thirty hours a week(all together sixty hours) instead of the usual twenty hours a week while threatening your current teaching position. \n\nBy the end of those two weeks you just didn\'t care anymore.\n\nAnother issue with the agency was that foreigners needed visas and time to get visas to work legally. The agency moaned about the time involved to get a visa.\n\nWe all know about small language schools and what they don\'t provide. I worked at one for four months and did not get what was necessary to work there so I stopped at the end of the fourth month. Not having any official documentation from the small language school at all I did not get paid for the fourth month either. \n\nI stopped because of not having the necessary documents as this really rides on your shoulders after some time.\n\nDuring the last year I taught at an elementary/high school. I was employed at this school for one reason which was I didn\'t drink alcohol. During a Christmas day activity morning I was accused of drinking. I had been sick with a flu for two weeks, taking medicine and still coming to school. I have never been accused of drinking in my entire life until that day. How would that make you feel?\n\nLastly, at an elementary school I was abused by a true foreigner hater. If you have had the experience of being confronted by or even verbally attacked by a true foreigner hater in a school they can be real\nnasty pieces of work. Never in my life have I experienced a person with such a hatred towards foreigners until now.\n\nWould I want to teach again? Perhaps? Perhaps not?',1,'2015-12-16 22:05:54','storage/legacy/files/postbox/retired.gif','2015-12-16 22:05:54','2015-12-17 12:12:55'),(30508,'Dr. Evil, or Dr. Troll?','dr.-evil-or-dr.-troll','Back home for Christmas in Zandvoort Aan Zee','The Thailand I have known, loved, and lived in since the early 80\'s is still very much the same as it was then, and will always be, regardless of what \"crackdowns\", \"crusades\", and \"hubs\", you want to use as scare tactics to make this country your own personal utopia.

As is the supposed \"database\" where we are all being profiled and spied upon.  Really?  A Thai NSA is in the works now specifically targeted towards expats?  My oh my.  \n\nIf I understand correctly, in summary, your position is that only persons of approved sexual orientations, marital status, alcohol/drug consumption habits, etc. are going to be permitted in to live in this \"New, Improved and Sanitized Thailand\" you claim will come to effect in 2016?

We live on a very small planet nowadays, and it is high time to disregard the xenophobic notion that Thailand only belongs to those born here.  Immigration and Emigration are common to every country I know of, save North Korea.  \n\nPerhaps you hope and pray Thailand is headed in that direction instead??

','OK I have read a variety of opinions on the topic of \'Why can\'t Thais speak English?\' Some are correct but some are outright shallow. \n\nI am a Thai, born and bred, and I have had some Eng-teaching experience. I used to be an IP lawyer, then quit to become a law professor; I am now teaching in Phisanulok but currently on a sabbatical leave. I developed a course called \"English for lawyers\" to teach law students practical English for professional purposes (for a legal profession). \n\nAs for my language background, I speak rather good English, I have an intermediate command of French, basic Chinese, and have taught myself ancient Greek.  Here are my observations and criticisms:\n\n1. I think most Thai have a working knowledge of English. The ability to use English among Thai population is known to be better than in Japan or China. Thailand is a very popular tourist destination, it is not a secret that people here use English well in their professional lives.\n\n2. I never had any problem creating motivation for my students. As a Thai, I know that mastery of a foreign language requires that 95% of the work be done outside of the classroom. So, my foremost goal has always been to create motivation and love of learning English. \n\nI have a realistic expectation and always tell my student that they will not walk away from the course being able to use proficient legal English as a professional. And improving English will be their life-long project. \n\nBy \"motivation\" I do not mean presenting a language as a \"tool,\" that is how the anglo-saxon think about language. For me languages are portals to other cultures. I motivate students partly by introducing them to a small body of English literature, something their schools never did. Teaching them songs, poems by William Blake or Lord Tennyson. I taught them how to read English blank verse which is the gate to Shakespeare, and give them something to memorize. \n\nThis may appear somewhat high-brow but it proved fresh to students who had spent a life time learning grammar; most of them like my materials. \n\n3. I attempt to explain grammar and vocabs as logically as possible. My knowledge of classical language (Greek) and French allow me to explain tenses better than contemporary textbooks.  Students are always interested in etymology and your French or Latin can help. \n\nMaking language appear logical is one of the best way to draw enthusiasm from students. The law students I taught were not linguistically brilliant. Most law students are those who hate both English and math; it is actually a common knowledge that people who come into the legal profession don\'t have many aptitudes. (this is pretty true in the U.S. too) But if you present your subject interesting enough, they will learn.   \n\n4. Yes. Thailand\'s English language education is obsolete, inefficient and time-wasting. It is that bad. In my generation, we all went to public schools. But Thai upper-middle classes are now sending their kids to international schools. \n\nUnfortunately, the upper class of the future will be those who speak bilingual but having no profound grasp of either language. I think it is sad that the elite are giving up on the state\'s education system and choose the path that will produce future elite who will treat languages as tools rather than culturally important assets. \n\nWill the country ever produce quality literature when the better-educated don\'t even know enough Thai anymore? We will see.   \n\n5. Most farang teachers don\'t have background in languages, not even as a student. They come from all walks of life and come to Thailand to pick up language-teaching jobs. \n\nThai always appreciate native speakers. But language teachers should be adequately passionate about language and be able to transmit the desire to learn to students. Most of you don\'t even know another European language and may not have any interest in literature. \n\n6. It is true that Thais are quite lazy. But they are not stupid. \n\nThais are 40% of Chinese ethnicity, they are genetically pretty smart. Thai culture is a bit like France - that is pretty laid back. \n\nThe whole state is bureaucracy, most people dream of civil-servant jobs that employ you for life. Thai bureaucratic  system is like a socialist state with in a capitalist state. So it is not one of your corporate-driven societies. \n\nFor Thai kids, English is just another subject like math or chemistry. They are chores that kids have to put up with until the final exam. My point is that, to stimulate them to learn English, you have to present English as, not only professionally, but also culturally important to them. I believe that teachers should have some knowledge about local cultures to make connection with students. \n\nI doubt most farang teachers know much about Thai culture. Thais are both conservative and nationalistic (think about a country where 80% are the GOP Republicans). Thus, they\'d super appreciate foreign folk who learn their culture or languages. But Thais know more about the world than you think they do. \n\nMaybe it\'s you who know too little about the place in which you are working',1,'2016-01-28 01:17:37','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb34.jpg','2016-01-28 01:17:37','2016-01-28 15:03:38'),(30595,'My take on culture and thinking','my-take-on-culture-and-thinking','chantaburi','I have been attempting to introduce the Western culture, the similarities and differences between Thai culture and Western forms of thinking.','This is in reply to Methaya Sirichit\'s great letter (26th January) \n\nI have been attempting to introduce the Western culture, the similarities and differences between Thai culture and Western forms of thinking. I had good results that came very quickly when I was learning the IELTS system. I would use The Bangkok Posts learning section and the articles available.\n\nI stopped learning Thai when I started to understand just how nasty Thais are to each other. I did not want to listen. I left my own country (Australia) because I could see people becoming nastier and nastier to each other. The human race is a horrible thing. \n\nI have recently read and listened to a radio interview about the next step in phonics. Understanding how the word was created. Knee is actually a word that was pronounced using the k to start the word. It is time that has made the K silent.\n\nI have visited Sukhothai many times and been through the museum as well. It gives a good starting point into the Thai language, the history and its origins. I would like to know if corruption and as telling of untruths was so ingrained in Thai culture back then as it is today because there does seem to be a case for those in powerful positions in Thailand have made their own rules in today\'s society and many very clever and worthwhile  people are not able to voice an opinion. \n\nI have lived in Phitsunalok myself and found many of the farmers problem solving skills to far more remarkable than Bangkok\'s problem solving skills that are based on more money to buy things overs have designed. We currently hear about many horrible workplace problems and extortion of minorities. As an Australian I am horrified at what my country is doing in The Middle East. I grew up believing Australia was a passive country. No we are the aggressors.\n\nYou are correct that most farang coming to Thailand to teach do not have the skills. I suspect they are further infuriated by the fact that the students are not the centre of the schools here in Thailand but the amount of money required to give a perceived education that allows students to understand the world they live in is. \n\nThe international schools now have lowered the grade levels by allowing extra testing so those students who do not have the knowledge they should have learnt in normal class time to move up the education ladder.\n\nI suspect it is the human race at the moment that is creating its own problems. The difference between Thais and others is really a small thing. \n\nThe few Thai friends I have will speak English with me as they trust me not to judge them. I suspect those who are scared of speaking and showing aptitude know that it will killed of by those controlling for more money. Which in turn is just our belief in pieces of paper with numbers written on them.\n\nHave fun.

I started in March 2015 but I was only taxed in June 2015. I was deducted 875 Baht every month for my TAX and 750 Baht for my health insurance. Another 750 Baht is paid for me by the school as their share, hence a total of 1,500 Baht goes to my health insurance. To sum it up, the amount that is deducted from my salary is 1,625 Baht (875+750) per month.\n\nWhen I went to the Ministry of Labor to have my work permit renewed, the officer asked for my tax record, which I don\'t have at that time. It is a requirement for the renewal of work of permit (W.P.5) to present the Phor Ngor Dor 91 form and tax receipt (yellow). Both documents can be acquired from the District Office (Revenue Department). \n\nPrior to going to the revenue office, my school gave me the summary of my tax for the year 2015. The total amount that I paid for 7 months (June 2015 - December 2015) is 875x7= 6,126 Baht.\n\nWhen I filed the Phor Ngor Dor 91 at the revenue, I was told to get a refund amounting to 5,875 Baht. I don\'t exactly know how the officer got the computation though it was all written at the back of the form 91. The cheque will be under my name and it will be sent to my school around May to June 2016. \n\nI was surprised to hear that I will get a refund because I never got one before and my school didn\'t inform me neither. So I asked the officer if I could file for the previous years and she said that I can only refund for the 3 years back. I just need to get the tax record from the school. The paper must contain the total tax paid for the year 2012, 2013, and 2014 respectively.\n\nI told the other foreign teachers in my school to file their Phor Ngor Dor 91 as well.

However, as with a lot of things in Thailand I question the apparent illegality of it, given how widespread it is I doubt it\'s illegal at all.\n\nNow when it comes to dual pricing, we need to distinguish between opportunistic greed (like when a taxi driver refuses to turn on his meter or a tuk-tuk driver tries to charge a huge amount) and institutionalized dual pricing at tourist attractions. It is easy to avoid the former - either catch a different taxi, rent a car, catch a bus, walk whatever, there are always alternatives. \n\nHowever, when it comes to a temple, museum, national park etc. trying to charge a foreigner more, there are two prices only: one Thai and one foreign. Occasionally a foreigner can get the Thai price by speaking Thai, arriving with a Thai spouse or friend, showing a Thai driver\'s licence, work permit, tax ID card or similar, but these don\'t always work. \n\nThe very premise of dual pricing however is that it tries to create a feeling of \"us vs. them\" by making assumptions about a foreigners perceived wealth. It is one thing if one time tourists are affected as they can just decide never to come back to Thailand and many do vote with their feet and their wallets. However, apart from avoiding all dual pricing attractions in Thailand, it is not as easy for resident expats to do the same, as they may be faced with this issue on a regular basis. \n\nPersonally I have no problems with bargaining, though on a day to day basis I only engage in that part of the economy that has fixed prices. For example, I drive my own car, fill up my tank at a petrol (gas) station, which obviously has fixed prices, get my car serviced at the dealership, I eat at chain restaurants (or independent restaurants with air-con), shop at supermarkets and hypermarkets etc. just like I would do in the west. Not only because this eliminates the possibility of dual pricing but these types of businesses offer better quality food, produce and goods and I know whether I\'m getting value for money or not. \n\nAlso, it\'s easier to find what I\'m looking for. Yes I know foreign imported goods are often way overpriced, but there is often little way around that except for the occasional trip to Cambodia to bring in a few bottles of cheap wine. The Thai alternative is poor quality rubbish, so there\'s little choice but to pay these prices. \n\nI don\'t visit markets, street food stalls etc. unless I\'m on holiday and that would entail being outside of Bangkok or more likely even, when I travel to Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam/Myanmar etc. countries which have fewer supermarkets/hypermarkets etc.\n\nWhy don\'t I visit markets etc. (except for very occasionally Chatuchak)? Because 1) it\'s hot 2) the quality is poor and unless I\'m looking for a souvenir I won\'t find anything interesting 3) the food at wet markets is often of questionable quality - food and veggies may have been tainted with formaline whereas at supermarkets it\'s safe too eat, while at food stalls it\'s too hot to eat outside plus the food doesn\'t taste good, nor is it fresh in many cases. I am worried about getting sick. \n\nI\'d much rather enjoy a delicious steak from Sizzler, along with some salad, which is much healthier than the MSG and sugar laden crap you get on the street.

In the Northeastern of Thailand, I have many partner schools and my agency pays between 32,000 and 35,000 bahts a month which is very competitive if you look at the salary and benefits of competitors who only pay the teachers sometimes about 25,000. \n\nThis year I have to ask myself what is happening with the professionalism of so many teachers? I make appointments for many teachers to come and interview with me at my office and they don’t show. Not even a phone call to say sorry I am not able to come so can we reschedule appointment? \n\nWhen the teachers do come for interview, their behaviours are inappropriate and they do not dress in a professional manner. They ask for more higher salary even before I have the chance to discuss the details of the job and what are the responsibilities. Too many teachers carry a negative attitude from jobs they do in the past and bring them to the new jobs like the world owe them something. It seems like teachers care only about money and not about doing the good job.\n\nWhen a new teacher starts the job they complain about everything! I even have one male teacher complain about the school toilets and say they don’t have the western style but only Thai squat style. But you are in rural Thailand. What can you expect? You cannot expect the proper toilet and perfumed toilet paper also.\n\nThen they complain about the materials and say is not enough. They have to spend so much time for preparing materials before class. One teacher even say that he has no time for sleep because he is awake in night-time doing the lesson plan. But I think this is what a teacher should do yes? Lesson planning is part of when you want to be a good teacher in the classroom and give the students a happy time and make them understand.\n\nEvery day my phone is ringing with a new problem. Maybe the teacher he arrive at work drunk from the previous evening or he is not attired professionally or they not have any idea about the schedule which I give to them already before start of term. This is like a scallywag behavior. \n\nI would like to see foreign teachers act with more professional attitude and not treat a teaching job like it is just an easy way to stay and enjoy your time in Thailand. You have to consider that you are an educator and the students are your responsibility!

Nobody should expect to be hired as a doctor without going to medical school, likewise nobody should expect to obtain a serious teaching position without proper certification.  \n\nThen once you do get certified, you can work for an international school or bilingual school where you are taken seriously as a teacher, and your results do matter.  The parents at these schools are paying ridiculous sums of money to ensure their kids become proficient in English, and they expect results.  \n\nYour students will sit standardized exams (ex. IGCSE) and your HOD and school director will expect results.   You will have reasonable class sizes, decent resources.  Not only will you have the opportunity to shine as a teacher, you will be expected to do so.  Sure, that means more work and more stress, but you will be making a difference (at least, for the kids who can afford your school\'s fees).\n\nThai government schools are a great place to be for \"teachers\" who aren\'t qualified and don\'t care.  They just want to be in Thailand, live a stress-free life, and do a joke of a job for an okay wage.  And that\'s great for some people - those who would otherwise be working at McDonald\'s or stacking shelves in a warehouse in a Western country can come to Thailand, play the role of a foreign \"teacher\" and live a much better lifestyle with few professional expectations.\n\nBut if you find yourself stuck in one of those jobs (most likely due to lack of teacher qualifications) and actually care about teaching, then well... do something about it!  Sure you could argue till blue on the face that teaching qualifications might not make you a better teacher, but if you were a parent paying $20,000 USD per year for your kids school, you\'d expect certified teachers.\n\nSo ask yourself, what kind of teacher do I want to be?  And then get the qualifications and the job that allows you to be that kind of teacher.

These are predominantly young people from wealthier backgrounds who have studied English at university as part of another course and have become proficient in using English in their jobs. \n\nThese people are found in areas where tourists tend to stay. Jobs that deal with tourists require their staff to be somewhat proficient in English. But on the whole, English is not spoken widely, especially out in the provinces. The state school system does not seem to teach English effectively, concentrating on learning words by rote rather than comprehension of colloquial English sentances. \n\nThe best schools seem to be those that can immerse the students in English. I have had to learn Thai in order to be able to communicate effectively since the vast majority cannot understand spoken English and most people can only say a few words like \"Hello, how are you?\". \n\nPronunciation of English poses a real challenge because Thai lacks certain sounds like th, sh, z and Thai words and syllables that end in certain consonants mutate to sound like p, t and k. The Thai word for shallow fry for instance is written like \'pad\' but is pronounced like \'pat\'. The letter d in all instances (there are several different sorts of letter d by the way) mutates to a t at the end of a word. So Thai people have difficulty pronouncing words and syllables ending in d, ch, th, s, sh, r amongst others.\n\nI think it is a question of confidence and also culture. You see, Thai people do not like to embarrass themselves because this is like losing face, an important feature of Thai (and Asian) culture. They would rather not say a word of English than risk making a mistake and embarrassing themselves. \n\nThai children do not seem to have the same motivation or eagerness to learn English compared with their peers in China for instance. It is frustrating to see the way that English is taught and the lack of emphasis on effective teaching methods. Perhaps this will improve over time, but for now Thailand is lagging behind in English.',1,'2016-06-02 18:11:28','storage/legacy/files/postbox/teacher_day.gif','2016-06-02 18:11:28','2016-06-03 08:08:29'),(30955,'Should foreign teachers do gate duty?','should-foreign-teachers-do-gate-duty','Jack','If you think refusing to stand gate guard duty when it is expected will help you live a happier and more successful life, by all means refuse','I think there are two questions here.\n\nThe first one is SHOULD teachers perform gate guard duty. I will not give an opinion as this question is very subjective in nature and would appear the answer can be influenced by many contextual factors (size of the school, organizational culture, experience and level of responsibility of the individual teacher, etc.…).\n\nThe second question is whether refusing to do gate duty, which can be perceived as being confrontational, contrary, disrespectful of the school’s management, insensitive to local culture and indifferent to the success of the school or organization, will be helpful in achieving your individual career goals or make your life happier.\n\nI have a pretty strong opinion on this second question.\n\nI am not sure holding onto the 1950s union attitude of the “management” as the enemy helps to become successful in the ESL or any other industry.\n\nIronically, while typing this I am overhearing a conversation by an employee who always refuses to engage in any “extra” activities complain about his low performance evaluation. There is a correlation between his refusal to do extra work and his poor performance appraisal, but of course it could just be a coincidence and the two activities are unrelated, or maybe the two could be related. \n\nOh well, we all have to make our own choices and live with the choices we make. If you think refusing to stand gate guard duty when it is expected will help you live a happier and more successful life, by all means refuse. If you think gate guard duty is a slight inconvenience but will help you achieve bigger and more important goals, go ahead and do it.\n\nIn my experience, the angriest and most insistent individuals who claim the decisions they made were absolutely right and everyone who disagrees with their attitudes is wrong, are likely the individuals the least satisfied with the results of their previously made choices. \n\nSince I am not expected to stand gate guard duty, I don\'t have to make the choice.

I like the goals it seeks. Learning the language for communication. Passing on ideas and conversing everyday. Great, exactly what is needed. Exactly what a language is for.\n\nSo back to my time teaching IELTS. The students I was teaching, would sit for the test once a year and most surprised themselves when they were receiving 3 and 4 gradings. The school was in the Issan region so please do not expect to much. Considering where they started, from the teachers I was working with were so happy for these kids when they surprised themselves.\n\nThe students would always comment on the head teacher\'s ability to get a score of 7 and how great she was. I would work with this teacher on a daily basis and had to speak Thai to her as she could not understand English.\n\nAfter further investigation I was advised that this teacher never actually sat the exams but another teacher who had lived overseas would do it in her name. Apparently, well not really, Truthfully as someone who was in the position through nepotism could not be seen to have a lower level than the students. After further investigation by quietly talking to parents it was already understood how the head teacher had received the qualification. The parents said nothing, except to us westerners, and only wanted us to please help the students. I never stay in the same school for longer than 2 years as I am here to learn and travel. I can give many more examples like the one above about nepotism.\n\nI suspect many of those leaders in Kruusapha are legitimate in their qualifications and were lucky enough to live or study overseas and see the benefits of the CERF-t system. Unfortunately the current paradigm in Thai culture is to muddle through.  The next level did not have this luxury and directors in government schools must do what they no best. What they have been doing for the entire careers.\n\nIt is sad that a nation cannot accept just how successful it has been by using other peoples money. How history shows us that Thailand has always become rich by allowing others in to run the country while pretending they are. Although they have never been colonist they are being controlled. \n\nSo my point is this.\n\nIf Thailand wants to improve its educational standards maybe it needs to look at how it educates. Can Thailand please stop blaming everyone else and look at itself. Many other countries have succeeded at improving English in their country using back packers. These countries also design things that change the human race and accept they lost a world war or have been colonized.\n\nBy the way so many teachers are leaving Thailand at the moment that my school needs teachers. Even with no experience. The parents just want someone to help. They pay big baht for a very low level. Unfortunately when push comes to shove they just want the final grades to be falsified so their kids at least have chance.  \n\nHave fun.',1,'2016-09-28 02:41:37','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pb44.jpg','2016-09-28 02:41:37','2016-10-01 07:07:38'),(31377,'You can win if you want','you-can-win-if-you-want','Anon','There are two very reliable options if you want to take a school to court.','It\'s sad to read so many readers\' posts asking for help and reliable answers to questions regading Thai law and taking employers to court over unfair dismissals, etc..

I\'d always advise any teacher to avoid working for an agency. Really, the best compliment I\'ve heard about any agency is \"Well, they always pay on time\". The bar is clearly set too low.\n\nI worked for two schools through two different agencies. Both schools were great, but the agencies were always a pain. Anytime anyone from the agency came to the school it put the foreign teachers on edge. Often it made people nervous because the agency were too overbearing about looking and behaving perfectly. They were obsessed with looking good and keeping their contract. That\'s fine, but have some faith in your teachers. You employed them after all. Both agencies paid on the right day, but you\'d never know what time. It was never before lunch and one time it was at 9 o\'clock at night. There\'s only really one thing I expected from my agency, pay the money on the day and preferably in the morning. You have one job.\n\nNow I work directly for a school and it is awesome. I have a boss who studied in the US so I can talk directly to her. There\'s no middle man diluting or simply not passing on information. She\'s a businesswoman first, but she\'s smart. She sent me on a course to learn how to use and utilize my interactive whiteboard. I have a projector, laptop, printer and awesome wifi. I even have a pleather office chair. I got an extra 5k for summer camp and a \'thank you\' because we had a lot of students signing up. That really made me happy. Even just a thank you sometimes makes a huge difference. It does to me. People need to feel the love sometimes. \n\nIt must be tougher for agencies now to find teachers. Salaries are still rubbish and places like Bangkok are becoming more expensive. I know one young guy on 35k who recently quit. He said the money wasn\'t enough and he didn\'t come to Thailand to work two jobs. He\'s going back home.

An officetel (it\'s a tiny studio) rent is around 800 dollars so if you include that in the salary then a monthly income of an English teacher would amount to 2,800 dollars. \n\nThat\'s actually even less than the average graduate salary in Korea but expats here still enjoy a reasonable life in Seoul. On the other hand, despite the huge difference in the cost of living between Seoul and Bangkok, expats\' living expenses in these two cities seem somewhat similar as I see people claiming that you could struggle even with 80,000 baht (which is approximately 2,200 US dollars. )\n\nObviously that\'s because expats in Bangkok are trying to live a much better life than average Thai people. Here in Seoul, people don\'t do that. We just go to the same restaurants Korean people go to and we shop at where Korean people shop at.

But how is that even possible when more and more NES teachers with experience and degrees in education teach Thai students, even at smaller schools?\n\nHere are some problems:\n\nToo many agencies sign a contract with corrupt school directors who only want to fill their pockets. If the students learn or not isn\'t really important to them. All agencies have great brochures with information that makes people believe that thus agency provides plenty of experienced NES teachers with many years of experience. The truth is that a lot of them are NNES guys and I don\'t even want to call them teachers now. They are only there to fill in because they couldn\'t find an experienced NES teacher who signs a 10-month contract with a monthly salary of 30K, or even less.\n\nI know from the past that these agencies have a hard time finding such people and they even look in tourist areas, approach people from English speaking countries and a week later they enter a Thai classroom for the first time. Some of them were planning to travel, but making some extra money and leaving after the first salary is quite common. \n\nI\'ve met ex- students who told me that they had seven different foreign teachers in one term? A shocking example was a 19-year-old girl with her 18-year-old brother and both were my students at a well-known primary school in grade six. They \"Waied\" me and I soon found out that the English they were taught at primary school was completely gone. After six years of high school at the best high school in town, they couldn\'t even answer the easiest questions. When they were in grade six, both could communicate and understood when English was spoken. Six years of high school, taught by experienced NES teachers and all of their English was gone down the drain? \n\nStudents have to fail when they are not good enough to do their assignments.\n\nTeachers need to learn more about child psychology.\n\nIt\'s time that somebody stops all the fishy agencies that pay so-called teachers, often only backpackers,  a 10-month salary only, many of them don\'t even have a degree. If a teacher didn\'t go to university, it\'s a very bad start position.\n\nThe school directors are only interested in signing up with agencies because they make good money by doing so. The best teachers are those who\'ve got a lot of teaching experience and hired directly.\n\nA 12 months contract, visa and work permit paid for is a must and only shows how a school is treating foreign teachers.\n\nA lot of foreigners are long enough in the system to understand what should and has to be changed to see much better results. The students from today are the future of tomorrow. We don\'t need some shortsighted people who don\'t understand the importance of a good education. And when I hear that education in Thailand is free until grade 12, I only have to smile. Nothing is free and hidden fees have to be paid too often. To get a student into a school with a good name is already expensive.\n\nAnd if a Thai teacher who worked 30 years in a smaller town wants to work at a school where he or she is living, the schools usually asking for 400,000 baht. people have to buy their teaching position. \n\nStudents til grade 12 are not allowed to ask their teacher a question because they could lose face by not knowing the answer? It\'s time to stop this insanity, nobody can lose face, we can only work together and create a good environment, learn from our mistakes and help each other.\n\nThe use of Multi -media in class these days also helps a lot.

I tried to reward the two good guys as much as I could, but they quit at the end of two years because it really was a disposable job, and they were headed home anyway. \n\nIn the end, I went back home. I was in two minds when leaving and this swayed me. The final straw was telling the new guy that it was a 12 month contract when really it wasn\'t. It was 12 months if the school wanted to retain you and you wanted to continue another year. If you wanted to go or the school wanted you gone, it was 10 months. \n\nLying to the guy didn\'t sit well with me at all and I really felt like a scumbag. Fortunately, he left after four months.  I decided that it wasn\'t for me. Loved my teaching, but hated having to find new teachers. It takes a certain kind of person in this environment to lie and not give relevant information just to get someone in the door. That really isn\'t me. \n\nI left early in 2016 and it seemed to be getting so hard to find good teachers.

It\'s not about learning English - it\'s about learning how to pass a particular test.

Therefore, air conditioner costs are higher for Westerners\n\nWestern Food that Westerners grew up with (although not a necessity to live, it is something they are adapted to eat) is two to three times more expensive than Thai food. \n\nThais have their family networks to draw on at all times and can share resources\n\nThais do not have to spend money to fly home for funerals, weddings, reunions, etc. \n\nThais are generally smaller in stature, so they do not have to eat as much \n\nThais are not constantly having to bargain with touts and vendors who treat them as tourists \n\nThais have more right to the laws and are less likely to have to pay bribes, get ripped off in a legal dispute or not get paid\n\nIt is much cheaper for a Thai to retire in Thailand than it is for a Westerner who needs x amount of money in the bank for a retirement visa \n\nThe amount of money a Westerner needs to retire in his/her own country is four times what a Thai would need in Thailand \n\nThais are legally allowed to work a second job \n\nThais are legally allowed to own property and a business \n\nA Westerner is expected to pay the lion\'s share for his/her Thai Spouse\'s lifestyle and family \n\nA Thai does not have to pay fines to immigration for not checking in every three months \n\nWesterners have to pay more for moving and shipping costs (presents, bank cards, documents, etc) than the average Thai \n\nThai entertainment, such as television, books and movies are also much cheaper and more available in Thailand\n\nThais can invest in their own furniture and not have to pay the \"service\" for serviced apartments, while only long term Westerners with a Thai spouse could and would be able to do this\n\nExpats have to pay remittance costs and exchange rates to move their money to and from their home countries\n\nExpats have to pay for Skype/Google Hangouts to be able to call family and friends back home \n\nIf they want to integrate, Expats have to pay (one way or another) for Thai language lessons\n\nIf they want to get married, go to a dentist, write a will, etc., a Westerner will have to pay a translation fee or premium for an English speaking service (unless they can read Thai very well and I have never seen this)\n\nAlthough paltry, Thais are entitled to social services and programs that Westerners are not \n\nThais (in slightly higher tax brackets) can write off expenses and purchases - like the genius first time car ownership tax deductible that Yingluck introduced \n\nThais don\'t have to do their taxes twice, or have the possibility of paying an accountant, tax documentation twice, and they don\'t have to worry about the residency/non-residency bullshit. \n\nThais don\'t have to worry about the work or fees of keeping bank accounts in two countries. \n\nAm I missing anything? Perhaps the above was somewhat rambling or petty, but I still believe that people need to \"Wake The F.... up\" and stop falling for this argument.

If the accommodation you are living in is owned by a farang (condo) then you need this letter from the Thai building owner. If you are staying in a hotel/hostel, you need a letter from the owner of that (whether or not they are actually in town/country doesn\'t matter to the officials, you still needed it). This then had to be authenticated by the city hall.\n\nSecondly, I needed to get my (original) degree certificate sent over from the UK. A photocopy would no longer suffice. It had to be the original certificate. \n\nWaiting for the required documents to arrived was a long and stressful process (what if they got lost in the Thai post?!) \n\nMy time on my tourist waiver ran out and I had to take a border run to Cambodia (getting a grilling of who I was, what I was doing in Thailand and why I was there from the stern Thai official at the re-entry border).\n\nI was then told to obtain photographs of myself including one of me \"teaching\" students, one of me with a Thai colleague and one again stood by the sign for the school name at the front gates (although when I questioned them asking me for pictures of myself teaching without a visa that allows me to teach would have been illegal, they became agitated and said \"I tell you already, why you no understand!?\" \n\nOf course nobody in Jomtien immigration office spoke English or even explained anything to my Thai partner when I took her with me. It seemed they didn\'t even know the rules themselves. The request for photographs was way beyond Thai logic and the whole thing would have been hilarious if it wasn\'t so stressful. \n\nI then waited for more than a couple of weeks for my monumentally incompetent school admin to produce the contract and proof of my employment document.\n\nIn the time waiting for this, my 30 days again ran out and I took a weekend trip to Kuala Lumpur, getting another 30 days (and another grilling off Thai immigration at Don Muang).\n\nThirdly, I had to take this to be legalised and authenticated by the British Embassy of Bangkok.',1,'2017-03-20 03:39:05','storage/legacy/files/postbox/rtape.jpg','2017-03-20 03:39:05','2017-03-20 17:05:06'),(31817,'Problems bringing a Thai wife or husband back to the UK','problems-bringing-a-thai-wife-or-husband-back-to-the-uk','John','If teachers returning home are from the UK, they will find it difficult to take their spouse back home with them.

I taught for a year in Korea before doing two years in Thailand. \n\nSchools\n\nKorea - A hagwon (language academy). More of a business than a school. Long, hard working days from 10 am till after 9 pm at night sometimes. Long days, odd hours and tiring but the students are more respectful and interested in learning English than Thai students. \nI pitied a lot of my students as many were forced by their parents to do extra studying on top of their already arduous schedule. Schools are more organised than Thailand and follow set curriculums although offer opportunity for games and funtime too, especially with kids. A lot of shady, hagwon horror stories but I got lucky and fared ok.\n\nThailand- two different government schools with Pratom and Mattayom. More fun teaching than Korea but I felt like more of a rent-a-clown than a teacher. Classes based a lot more around fun and games than proper learning. Students generally ok but largely uninterested in English. \n\nThai students often lack critical thinking due to terrible rote-style learning from their Thai teachers and are more afraid to speak up for fear of losing face. Some very noisy, chaotic and naughty classes, particularly with younger kids (often leaving the room with a sore throat!). \n\nSchools are unbelievably disorganised and frustrating to deal with last minute changes, compulsory staff meetings in Thai language etc. Much more freedom in the classroom but far worse conditions (40 students to a class, dodgy facilities, some classrooms had no air-con etc). Some very dodgy Thai government schools indeed but I fared OK. \n\nNot recommended for more serious teachers as it will drive you crazy.\n\nVisa situation\n\nKorea - Difficult and expensive initially getting required documents (apostille, etc) and also fairly trapped to the school on an E2 visa. But at least no 90-day check ins, re-entry if you travel abroad and generally better once \"in-country\".\n\nThailand - Absolute nightmare. Ever changing rules and requirements for legalisation of documents to get a non-B visa, some of which were so laugh-worthy they were a farce. On top of that, 90-day check ins, re-entry permits to go abroad and having to leave the country and start the whole ordeal again should you change school.\n\nWeather\n\nKorea - Sucked balls. Blistering summers, arctic winters, typhoons and not much in between except a couple of weeks in cherry blossom season.\n\nThailand - Awesome, perfect winters, always warm and usually sunny. Just what the doctor ordered after a tough Korean winter.\n\nThings to do\n\nKorea - Cool mountains and beaches relatively OK but suck for the cold half of the year. Cleaner nature and some interesting things to see. Snowboarding in winter too. Cities cool but nightlife not as fun as Thailand.\n\nThailand - Awesome, jungle treks, stunning beaches and cool islands. Loved the crazy cheap nights out, pool parties, riding my moto down the palm fringed beaches and forests at dusk. Only downside is the polluted beaches/rivers in parts, especially nearer to Bangkok. A lot of rubbish, poverty and stray dogs everywhere which is pretty depressing.\n\nInfrastructure\n\nKorea - Far better, good roads and high speed trains anywhere in the country. Clean, modern cities with lots to do. But drivers sucked\n\nThailand - A lot worse but more interesting. Standard developing country affair of noisy, dirty and chaotic cities, bad public transport and terrible drivers. More \"character\" but can definitely become suffocating and after a while you long for a beach/nature getaway.\n\nPeople\n\nKorea - I found Koreans to be more contrasted, some very Westernised with good English and interest in the western world, others very unfriendly and curt. More reserved than Thailand and often times ruder too. I considered Koreans to be the \"Germans of Asia\" if that makes sense?\n\nThailand - Far friendlier than Koreans but also more likely to try scamming you, particularly in tourist spots. Generally worse at English but more willing to talk to farangs. \n\nDating\n\nKorea - Worst place I experienced in Asia for dating (Korea, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand). Loads of beautiful girls with zero interest in farangs unless they work for Samsung/similar. Humble English teachers particularly looked down upon. \n\nTo make it worse, local guys can be the worst. Although there are quite a few girls who are interested in westerners, I only scored a few dates the whole time I was there.\n\nThailand - A single farang man\'s goldmine. Lost count of how many dates I scored there. However, pay attention as a lot of them might just be gold-diggers in disguise, particularly in tourist areas. Also, harder to find girls you can have \"intelligent conversation\" with besides shopping, facebook and Thai TV/music (but also some really cool, worldly minded Thai girls too).\n\nOverall\n\nKorea - Sweet teacher packages (free apartment, flights, end of contract bonus and much better salary) but generally less to do outside of work (unless you live in Seoul or Busan).  Generally attracts more \"serious\" teachers (as opposed to backpackers extending their trip). \n\nWeather sucks and locals are less friendly but the country is much more developed, modern and first world. EPIK generally safer than hagwons but you might get placed in the boonies and be the only farang in the village. Good for first timers or those looking to save money as you are totally spoonfed  with programs and can put away easily half your salary if you are frugal.\n\nThailand - Much more laissez-faire and possibly more intimidating to the first time teacher as you aren\'t babied nearly as much as Korea and with it being a developing country. \n\nMore \"interesting\" mix of expats, some cool, some not so cool. Cheap costs but the salary sucks and it\'ll be hard to save anything unless you can fully live like a local in a crap, Thai-style apartment, eat Thai food every day and not party or travel, although lets be real, no farang goes to Thailand to live like a monk.\n\nLifestyle far trumps that of Korea (beaches, travel opportunities, nightlife, climate) and much more of an \"exotic adventure\".\n\nEither way, both destinations couldn\'t be more different to each other and both have merits and downsides worth checking out!',1,'2017-03-30 18:31:35','storage/legacy/files/postbox/pass_go.gif','2017-03-30 18:31:35','2017-03-31 08:08:36'),(31843,'Don\'t accept paltry salaries','dont-accept-paltry-salaries','John','Many teachers are not too concerned about  how much money they make because they are only here to have a good time','I have been teaching in Chiangmai for about 10 years now and my salary is now just above 50 k per month.

I realise that many people are settled here with Thai nationals and have children and these people may very well feel that they do not have a choice in dictating or demanding certain salaries, even if they are experienced esl teachers.\n\nThailand attracts a lot of very young newly qualified teachers who have had no experience teaching in their own countries they qualified from and many of whom are doing a really abysmal job of teaching their pupils. These qualified teachers are not here to stay but are in fact here to have fun, use their salaries on hedonistic activities then leave. These teachers are not too concerned about  how much money they make because they are only here to have a good time. I feel that it is these teachers whom are lowering the basic salaries kingdom wide for serious long term teachers by accepting these low paying positions. \n\nQualifications certainly seem to come before age and experience and this is to the detriment of the pupils in Thai schools. For those teachers who have been here a while and are doing a good job and have furthered their education by doing a pgcei or a masters in education on top of their degrees, should leave Thailand and work in schools where their knowledge experience and qualifications are valued both monetarily and personally.  \n\nAnother thing to note is that western teaching qualifications do not have a great focus on English as a second language learner and this too affects the children\'s education in Thailand as specific strategies are needed to teach them successfully.',1,'2017-04-02 21:55:26','','2017-04-02 21:55:26','2017-04-03 11:11:27'),(31855,'Life\'s so unfair for the bad teachers','lifes-so-unfair-for-the-bad-teachers','','For every good teacher, I\'d say there are three bad ones.

Some like James from Leeds live from paycheck to paycheck so know they actually need their job. They\'ll come to work on time and not complain for the last few weeks. All the things anyone should be doing in their job anyway. This way the school might think James has turned a corner. At the very least for James, he has his \"I\'ve been treated unfairly\" card for when the school wanna let him go. He can tell his friends and missus who quit her job when she met him how he arrived on time, taught his lessons and was loved by everyone at the school.

I told him that it wasn\'t personal and it was just kids being kids. If he wanted me to, I\'d have a word with his class when they came to my class (I am a science teacher). I told the kids not to mention about his weight. It hurts his feelings and it\'s not nice nor polite. I told them that we\'re not to look down on anyone because of how they look. This is also my job as a teacher to have a safe and pleasant learning environment. This isn\'t an elitist farang idea, it\'s also a value shared by Thais. To think it wasn\'t would be to look down on the locals like \"they don\'t know any better\".\n\nThe kids were good. They respected me and understood my point. They liked the other teacher but simply didn\'t realize they were hurting his feelings. After all, they\'re kids and are still learning about life.

I\'d like to think that the money we make isn\'t just for paying bills and buying useless crap. \n\nI use my disposable income to save and enjoy my life. I have a very nice apartment which I very much look forward to going home to. It has all the amenities and a second bedroom used as an office where I do online work. I work about 55 hours a week and very much love and appreciate my days off and holidays. If I have any more than 2 weeks off, I get bored. \n\nThe guy I work with loves to be at work. He comes in early and he leaves work late. He loves keeping busy and doesn\'t do much extra work as he thinks our full-time job should be the focus of our lives. He\'s consumed by his  job and always tells me the boss will look more favorably on me if she sees me coming in early and leaving late. \n\nI explained that this is just a job for me. I signed a contract, I do what\'s asked of me, and I go home and live \'my\' life. I explained to him that I won\'t judge his philosophy in life if he doesn\'t judge mine. If the boss wants me to work longer hours, she can compensate me sufficiently so I have no need to do extra work. It\'s not personal it\'s business. \n\nMy old farang boss once called all of us into a meeting. It was just before school term finished and we had two months of holidays and summer camp. He was basically trying to encourage us to not do summer camp and take unpaid leave. He did this by explaining that teaching is hard work. You need to turn your brain off and relax. Get out of Bangkok. Get out of Thailand. You need some perspective so get out of Asia for a month, etc.  Come back stronger for the new term. \n\nIt was all very motivating and solid advice, except for one thing; with what money? You want us to maybe go skiing in the Alps whilst not getting paid? \n\nIf you want to live in Thailand long term, you\'re gonna have to work hard to make it work. In my old job there was no yearly pay rise. In my current job I had to fight tooth and nail to get an extra 3k a month.

You don\'t really need any qualifications to teach TEFL at the real TEFL level other than being a native-speaker and having a CELTA, etc. \n\nTake Spain for example; a great place to a take a year or two out and have a working holiday. At the time I was there they only requested we had some kind of TEFL cert. No degree was needed. You weren\'t sold the job as being a a real or serious teacher. You were sold it as helping students improve their English. This was generally done by practicing conversation. \n\nThey wouldn\'t have dreamed about asking you teach math or science etc, in a real school. We were restricted to the TEFL level language centers and rightly so. \n\nThailand needs to be more honest and open if they\'re serious about improving their level of language. There\'s no career here for the most part, but if you want a year or two out, regardless of your age, come here and have a working holiday. We can\'t pay you much but you\'ll have holidays and be able to get by. \n\nThailand seems to be looking for properly qualified teachers for less than TEFL level standards. It ain\'t gonna happen.\n\nIf you\'re a properly qualified teacher, I wouldn\'t recommend Thailand for the most part. I\'ve known properly qualified teachers here earning 100k a month and they thought it was a lot. But in the grand scheme, it really isn\'t. Try having kids and growing old here on that. \n\nI knew a guy who came here with a degree and wanted to get qualified. He ended up doing his masters, and maybe even a doctorate here, and then realized that even within Thailand, it was pretty worthless. They wanted qualifications from western universities etc. He ended up starting an agency and basically just lies for a living.  Selling an idea of professionalism to people who simply aren\'t, being instructed how to teach by people with inferior qualifications. Just one big factory of teachers. \n\nIf you\'re a real teacher in the sense you wanna help people, god bless you. It\'s one of the most noble things you can do in life. You\'ll always be a teacher so make sure you invest in yourself. If you like teaching but are doing it mostly to stay in Thailand, do not waste thousands of dollars on teaching qualifications that restrict you to teaching the rest of you life. That is awful investment, especially in a place like Thailand.\n\nOnline work is the way to go. Affiliate marketing etc. There\'s a lot of money to be made if you\'re reliable and hardworking. You need zero qualifications other than a fantastic work ethic and knowing where the money is. I\'m not going to tell people how to do it, but there is money online to be made. It\'s definitely the way forward for people who wanna live abroad. \n\nWhen Thailand pisses me off, I just hop on a plane with my laptop to somewhere else for a week. I soon miss Thailand and return to her. But as in life, familiarity breeds contempt and I need my away time sometimes.

The education system is one of the worst in the world, yet this doesn’t deter the system from demanding the sky and the stars above in terms of qualifications. \n\nThere are jobs offering 28,000 baht a month, but require a master’s degree in an education related field. That’s right, half a fast-food wage! In addition, you have to put up with nonsense such as a lack of discipline in classrooms and student satisfaction surveys, that completely undermine your ability to do your job properly- along with the obligatory white monkey duties that schools usually require. \n  \nAgencies and schools have become increasingly greedy in the three years that I’ve been here, lowering wages and reducing what little benefits that were in place to begin with. 10-month contracts, health insurance that wouldn’t cover a band aid, no pension, corruption, and shrinking end of contract bonuses.\n  \nOther readers have rightly pointed out the fact that you feel, for the most part, that you’re tolerated (at best). Add to this the inability to manage things properly, the cultural sensitivities, the pride (I’m never wrong) and you get the feeling that Thailand is some kind of lord of the flies’ island that’s run by children.    \n  \nThe ignorance is profound; my friend informs me that his high-school students have never heard of the second world war!  Next time you are met with the “I don’t know what the problem is with less than 40k a month… bla bla bla”, ask that person when the last time they visited their family was and how much did it cost them.  Show them the price of a return ticket to your home country, and explain that this is why you haven’t seen your family in X amount of years. \n  \nThe sense of entitlement over here is astounding. You have your future to think about; Thailand isn’t going to look after you when your chips are down or when you grow old. Of course, they’ll happily hold a passport from your country of origin, but don’t expect the same in return, no matter what you do! In fact, Thailand has some of the most bureaucratic visa laws in the world, and with the latest round of draconian penalties announced, for those who don’t posse the correct stamp, it’s becoming less desirable to stay. \n  \nNow the white knight brigade “I thought 35k was a great wage 25 years ago, what’s the problem?” are always quick to point out where the airport is, or that you need to improve on your qualifications. I am, in part, inclined to agree with them, however, for those like myself who are stuck here in university, the former isn’t an option and none of this justifies exploitation.\n\nSo what’s the solution? Simple, don’t work for (or with) these clowns anymore. You don’t have to! \n \nOver the last 12 months, online teaching has really take off. There is literally a plethora of companies out there that are crying out for teachers. Of course, China is one of the biggest recruiters, and with the new visa laws that have come into place in China recently, making it more complicated to acquire a Z-visa (work visa) than it is in Korea or Japan, the number of teachers applying to work there in person is likely to decrease.  This will likely, eventually, translate into more demand for online teachers. \n\nNow if you are in Thailand, the Chinese are likely to require that you work evenings and/or weekends, this might be ideal for those who study. If you are to accept such a position, don’t, under any circumstances, accept a job that pays below 15 USD an hour, these are peak demand hours, especially for children. I have found, through experience, that those that offer less than this tend to mess you around the most and have the most amount of BS rules. After all, China has some awful ESL jobs just like Thailand (or anywhere else).  \n\nOn the whole, when you find a good company to work for, you’ll find that you get treated far better than you would at the vast majority of schools in Thailand. I personally make around 700 baht an hour, and I don’t have to travel through the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The materials are all provided, and I’ve never had to pay for resources out of my own pocket because a billionaire school director didn’t think it was his place to do so.  \n\nIf ever I’m asked to work more, I’m paid more. Yes, I know, imagine that!\n\nThere are companies that offer day time hours, for those who bark at the idea of working in the evenings or at weekends, however, they tend to pay less. I wouldn’t recommend accepting less than 10 dollars an hour for those positions and I would avoid Taiwanese companies, as they deduct a sizable amount of your salary in Taiwanese income tax.\n\nOverall, I find it refreshing to teach students that are well behaved and actually want to learn. I have five and six-year-old students that can speak and read English better than any M5 or M6 Thai students that I have ever taught in a government school. Additionally, Chinese staff are willing to listen to your suggestions and feedback and value your hard work and input, they are also more open to new approaches to delivering a lesson. \n\nIn conclusion, you likely come from a country that has fairly strong unions, labour laws and equality laws. Forget about it in Thailand, you have to be your own union rep by voting on your feet. \n\nThe demand to learn English across the globe is rising considerably on an annual basis, and technology is providing a way for teachers and students to connect from remote corners of the world. The game’s up for lousy Thai schools, who have become spoiled by the amount of foreigners available to teach. We no longer have to do it the “Thai way”.

There are a few good Thai cooking schools around that can help you learn about the different ingredients. \n\nPlease head to your local market and try the plentiful, cheap varieties even if you only slowly expose yourself to new things.

Quite religious in many ways and always polite and helpful. However, they do speak their own language most of the time in the staff-room. Nothing wrong with that, but I\'ve heard arguments saying that Filipinos who teach English abroad only speak English when at school. That is complete nonsense. They also speak a lot of Thai to their students too. I know of one \'English\' teacher at my school who speaks Thai about 90% of the time to her pupils. \n\nWe make exams for each other (the school will not allow a teacher to make his own tests) and I don\'t get to see them until the exam day. Exams get \'passed\' before the exam date by a Filipino boss. The last lot I got back were full of grammatical errors. To the point where I had to give the pupils a mark as the questions made no sense (sometimes more than one answer could be correct or the question made no sense at all). Of course, English is not their first language, so to expect them to get it \'right\' all of the time is wrong. Even native-speakers make errors, of course. However, my experience is that they make a lot of errors.\n\nThey are also their own worst enemy (in my experience, which is fairly narrow if i\'m being honest). The Filipinos at my school are overly obedient and never question management. To the point that they end up working evenings and weekends for free. The Thai management see this and now expect the same from westerners. Obviously, this is harder to implement. Not due to \'white privilege\' or other such nonsense, but due to coming from cultures where employees have rights and will, if pushed, make their feelings known and move on to a different employer. We may be \'in Rome\', but we won\'t be taken advantage of as easily. \n\nThis is why you will see more and more Filipinos and an ever decreasing number of native speakers of English in Thailand. China is now offering twice the salary and many of those jobs also offer free accommodation. The Thais either cannot (or will not) compete with this. Thai management love the bowing and scraping.

','It always cracks me up just how heated these debates get on what a person can or cannot live on in Bangkok (or Thailand in general). And of course people frequently have these same arguments when it comes to what a “livable wage” is in their own countries as well. \n\nFor example I constantly get into heated arguments with my sister over her insistence that it is not even in the realm of possibility that she could ever afford to move back here to California - where she was born and raised by the way. This despite the fact that millions of people manage to live here just fine while making even less money than she does. \n\nIn any case, naturally you CAN live in Bangkok on 30K a month. After all, there are currently millions of people doing just that. For a foreigner living in Bangkok however I think the real question is; is 30k enough to live in the manner to which you have become accustomed back in your own country? And I think the answer to this question for most people would be a resounding “NO”. \n\nLiving the same as you do back home of course means that you live in an apartment or house that is just as nice and just as large as what you had back home (and in as nice an area). It also means having your own car, or at least a motorcycle, and being able to pursue all the same hobbies and other interests that you enjoyed back home. For me personally this would mean making an absolute bare minimum of about 60,000 baht a month, which is about what you would earn per month working a 40-hour a week minimum wage job here in California. \n\nAnd of course, since I have spent pretty much my entire adult life living on the coast, this means I would need to live on the coast in Thailand as well and unfortunately properties in coastal areas in Thailand are extremely overpriced relative to the Thai economy. In fact, condos in Patong or Kata Beach in Phuket cost nearly as much per square meter as they do right here in idyllic San Luis Obispo, California. When my girlfriend and I were living in Phuket we actually got by fine on 60k a month but we were also not able to put anything aside for emergencies. And we certainly did not have enough money to travel around Asia much or to buy any luxury items. \n\nThe bottom line is, if I were forced to move to Bangkok with only 30k a month to live on I could definitely make it work. But I would never in a million years CHOOSE to move to Bangkok with only that much money to live on.

I was teaching IEP and working pretty hard. The salaries have gone down since then for the run of the mill agency jobs. Now I am not openly against agencies but the greed and corruption has become too much to bear. \n\nMost agencies it appears are now grabbing the newbies and I call them “newbies” because they are not yet teachers from the TEFL courses on some island somewhere. 1500$ or something like that and a party in Phuket and Samui and three weeks later they have been offered  a job somewhere – in some government school somewhere with some assistance from the agency. It depends on the agency.\n\nNormally the newbies are only too happy to have a job and just say yes to everything and to be fair to them, that is what you have to do. Maybe those of us who have been around for a while have become jaded by the system. Waiing the boss can be pain – unless she returns the favour and wais me back. I will not wai anyone unless they reciprocate – and that means everyone from the boss all the way down to the cleaner. If the cleaner wais me I will wai her back. \n\nFor the last two years of so, I had the misfortune to be thrust back into agency jobs and sometimes it was fun and sometimes the kids would want to learn something, but the agencies and their management have become overbearing. \n\nLast year I was on 38,000 for nine months of the year. Holy Christ how things have fallen? And having some self-inflated knobhead coming around barking orders the way he wanted it to be. Given I had 7 years’ experience and am a good teacher – my kids learn something – I am reluctant to take advice about how they think a lesson should be – planning It right down to the micro level. \n\nAs a new teacher you could expect 25-30,000 a month. That would be paid 9 months of the year. They will not get you a work permit, no matter what they say, unless it has been specifically mentioned and they do it the day you arrive - it will not happen. You will have to do visa runs to Laos normally. That will cost 6-7,000 baht and you will have to do that every three months maybe. You will then be on a tourist visa. That will be 60 days which can be extended at Chaeng Wattana for 1900 Baht for another 30 days. That might include a taxi there and back, four hours in a queue and some photographs etc. Keep some money for that. Going overstay basically means going to jail (if caught) unless you can pay the fine. It has happened to many. If you think Bangkok as a teacher is all about partying and going to the island every month, think again. \n\nYou will be expected to wai everyone including the dog (joke) You will be expected to be at school early, leave late and have a smile on your dial at all times. From the end of February to the middle of May there will be no work around and you will not be paid. You will then have to find money from somewhere else – savings, mummy and daddy back home, or possibly extra work which will be in very short supply because everyone will be looking for it. \n\nYour accommodation will be about 5,000 a month in Bangkok for a decent apartment, 7,000 if you include bills. If you want something better you can find it of course. If you want something worse – you can get something down to about 2 or 2.5K but really not worth the hassle. That said many Thais live like that, no problem. No air-con, no hot water (which is a must in the winter). Morning traffic in Bangkok is murder. You need a way to travel and fast to get to school. Normally a taxi or motorbike (rented) not motorbike taxi. \n\nTaxis are expensive (relatively) unless you share. Staying near schools is recommended but then you are stuck there.  \nDriving a motorbike is dangerous. Always have a full face helmet. Having an accident often means sorting it out on the side of the road, and paying money there and then. Unless you are so damaged they take you to hospital (another need for hospital insurance) where you can be in for big bucks. Do not drink and drive. It is not worth it. There are road blocks everywhere. \n\nIf you think you are going to the full moon party for the whole of April down the wonderful island of Samui, that might be a pipe dream unless you have saved money or money from back home. You may be eating a 5 baht bowl of noodles nursing a beer, trying to see it through the lean months. \n\nThought that might be useful, direct and honest.

They put in a shift. They ask questions. They admit they don\'t know.

Agents, of course, skim off the top of everyone\'s wages for every single payment from start to end of employment. They are parasites. Every single one of them - no matter what BS they try to pull to convince you that they are \'more than just agents\'.\n\nAgents seem to dominate most of the jobs on offer in Thailand so they\'re kind of difficult to avoid. The agent I work for does things like make all the foreign staff come in weeks before the Thai staff each term to decorate their classrooms (!) Obviously, this is just to make the agent \'look good\' to the owner of the school. Rumors abound of agents giving \'kickbacks\' from staff salaries to the owner(s) too in many cases. I wouldn\'t doubt for a New York minute that such a thing goes on.\n\nSalaries have been frozen here for years, the cost of living has rocketed and the workloads have increased. I now have to work online too to make a decent salary. I get about 65,000-75,000 baht a month and it\'s still not all that great. It\'s certainly not enough to think about retirement plans etc. \n\nAdd to this frustration, a proliferation of Pinoy teachers who have bowed and scraped and enslaved themselves to such a level it has impacted on everyone else. \n\nLet\'s face it, TEFL as a \'career\' of any kind in Thailand is over. Unless you\'re prepared to work 60 hours a week with few benefits (the \'health insurance\' packages are a joke in most cases) forget it. \n\nStay out here too long and you risk being booted out of the country if you fall ill (no matter if you\'ve got a wife and kids and ten years\' of \'helping the nation\' by teaching in the government schools). Yup. Time to think how \'valued\' we really are to these schools/countries.\n\nDespite this, I don\'t get angry anymore. The best thing to do (if you enjoy teaching, which I do) is to get qualified. I have obtained an M.Ed now and will return to my home country to get properly licensed. If anyone is in the same boat, you just need to take a deep breath , relax and plan your escape. Everyone is different, but I\'ll need about a million baht to return and start teaching in my country (apartment / flight / money to support myself whilst I train. etc). \n\nJust choose the path of least resistance when it comes to earning cash to save. For me, that means either The Middle East or China later in the year once I\'ve saved a little.\n\nSo please everyone in the same predicament, don\'t get mad. Don\'t cry. Just plan your way out and don\'t get angry at how the education systems in faraway lands work. Do you think they\'ll ever listen to Mr Farang?  You might as well bring your cat with you and ask them to listen to Mr. Tiddles\' opinions. It\'s all about the money and status I\'m afraid with many Asian education systems. The desperately sad thing is that the kids\' education is barely important to many (not all) schools. \n\nJust do what you can (your best for the students) and don\'t get angry or upset at things that you will never be able to change.

Find them and use them. Because nothing will change.\n\nOn a final note, TEFLing is great for a youngster wanting to try life abroad for a couple of years. Probably unfair on the kids in some cases, but I don\'t think the (now diminishing) presence of Western teachers makes this education system any worse.  \n\nSome TEFLers find that they enjoy teaching and return home to teach in their own countries.  But as a career? Well unless you\'re talking about some of those high paying jobs in The Middle East.\n\nOh, I forgot. You might make a career out of TEFL if you become an agent.

They speak the same language and can reason with their pupils. \n\n2. Thai teachers tend to have big sticks they beat the kids with for as much as rocking in their chairs. We\'ve all seen this.\n\nNumber (2), in my opinion, undermines any real hope of a western teacher controlling a large class of primary pupils if teaching alone. The pupils only react to this negative reinforcement. If they don\'t fear you, it\'s time to go nuts and do as they wish.\n\nIn my time teaching in Thai schools in the Thai system, I could manage to control most of my classes, but some were simply impossible. Sure, countdowns work for about 1 second. TPR can last a minute or two (if alone with very large groups).\n\nSome subjects are easier than others to maintain control (Phonics/general English). Reading and writing or academic writing can be an absolute nightmare if you teach in a school with kids who only get 2-3 hours per week of English tuition.  I\'ve worked in schools that gave the kids books that were far beyond their capabilities. Books that merge several tenses, regular and irregular verbs and about 30 new vocabulary words for 7 year old Thai children. And the school gave us 50 minutes to get them to read 250 words and answer 3 pages of comprehension questions. All this, when the brightest pupils in the class are still getting to grips with using  regular verbs in the present simple (\"She like dog.\") Yes, I suggested they change the books.

I did nearly two years and decided I\'d like to further my career in teaching and live in Thailand. During my time teaching at this private school I\'d teach on average 18-22 periods a week. I taught class sizes that ranged from 35-50. I taught in hot classrooms with old air cons. I taught students of all levels and backgrounds. It was hard work but highly enjoyable.\n\nI went back home and did my PGCE. I started as an assistant and then began teaching formally.

I\'m moved to another class. My students are awesome. Smart, diligent, hard-working, well-behaved.......I could go on. Everything I was taught after university is geared pretty much towards my teaching environment now. My bosses\' knowledge is pretty much perfectly geared towards the environment we are in now. \n\nIf my old Thai school called me, offered me a job as academic manager with a better salary and better benefits than now, I\'d absolutely say no.

To begin with, there is no scientific or linguistic evidence to suggest that lisping is caused by, or due to, “being bilingual.”  Lisps are primarily due to an improper placement of the tongue when speaking.  They can also be due to having dental work done, the placement of dentures, or hearing loss.  Obviously the four-year-old in this case does not have to worry about dentures, (at least not yet), but having his hearing tested may be a sound idea.  Children who don’t hear well will have problems enunciating words properly.  \r\n\r\nLinguists and speech therapists distinguish between four kinds of lisps: frontal, dental, palatal, lateral.  The first two are part of normal speech development and the child will probably grow out of it on his own.  The last two are not part of normal speech development, so the child may need help with speech therapy.  It is best to find out which kind of lisp your child has before beginning speech therapy.   \r\n\r\nI found the “being bilingual” part concerning because it is based on misinformation and what my people refer to in Yiddish as a “Bubba Miseh”, grandmother stories or an old wives’ tale.  It was also thought several years ago that thumb sucking can cause lisping in children.  Again, a bubba miseh.  This belief has also prevented many parents to delay second language acquisition in their children, thinking it neurologically dangerous or culturally disadvantageous.  Not true.  \r\n\r\nIt is helpful to have as much accurate information as possible before making an informed decision on how to proceed.  I’m sure the boy’s parents have done this.

Obviously some techniques work for some learning styles while others work better, but no foreign language teacher is going to have any special insight into the language which is both useful and unknown to most native speakers.\r\n\r\nI have seen research suggesting it takes about 10,000 hours of study and practice to become fluent in a language (including our native one). Another study suggest it generally takes about 7 years of intense study to become fluent in a second language.\r\n\r\nLooking at my own experience in learning foreign languages, I see most of the advice given to new teacher on this site conflicts with my own experiences. Although my studies have occurred as an adult which might be different from the perspective of younger students.\r\n\r\nI can’t say there is any one style of teacher I prefer, of course there is nothing wrong with having some fun in the classroom, but generally I like a teacher who can provide structure, explanations, useful examples and some gentle corrections of my errors.\r\n\r\nBut there are two types of teacher I have had which deter my learning.\r\n\r\nThe first is the babbler. Once you get to the upper immediate of advanced levels schools tend ban the use of English in the class and students are expected to only speak in the language beginning learned. Fair enough, but there are times when 10 minutes of explanation, examples and confusion could be avoided by a 10 second translation. But also some teachers babble on just like they were speaking to another native speaker. Hey, if I knew every word in the language I was learning I wouldn’t need to be taking a class. Slow down and choose your vocabulary carefully. \r\n\r\nThe second is the type of language teacher who abuses their position as head of the classroom to expound on their own personal philosophical, religious, cultural or political views. I consider myself a highly educated person with a wide range of knowledge, generally far more than my language teachers. I really don’t want to spend my time listening to half-baked ideas, stereotypes and misinformation, I am there to learn the language. If I want to understand philosophy, I will take a class taught by someone who is an expert in the subject. \r\n\r\nI prefer a language teacher who creates structure and provides guidance in learning the language, mixes explanation in both the native and target language and sticks to the topic they know.\r\n\r\nBut maybe I am a usual type of student.  So I don’t necessarily follow the idea of speaking only English in the English learning classroom or as a language teacher try to impose one’s own specific values and world view upon the students. A love of languages and a desire for life-long learning, ok, but don’t abuse one’s position as a teacher to advocate one’s own specific values.',1,'2018-08-03 15:14:10',NULL,'2018-08-03 15:14:10','2018-08-03 15:19:17'),(32269,'Teachers walk a razor\'s edge','teachers-walk-a-razors-edge','john doe','Most teachers are working in Thailand illegally.

The reason for this is simple - most agents or schools don\'t provide costly work permits.  A school justifies it by saying an agent should provide the work permit and the agent justifies it by saying the school should provide the work permit . Meanwhile it is the foreign teacher at risk. Does the school or agent care? Actually schools and agents are hoping a teacher lasts only one year because they can have a fresh face the following year. Besides having a teacher with years of experience is not important but having a handsome or beautiful teacher is because of selfies.\r\n\r\nOne more thing, Thai teachers usually give \"the foreigner\" all the shifts they themselves don\'t want during the day.  That\'s why the newcomer usually works the early morning and late afternoon classes. My advice is to smile more and say yes to everyone. Be humble and do other people\'s jobs.  Be thankful you get to work with people who smile at you but dislike all foreigners.  If you understand the Thai language, laugh as much as you can when you are the butt of most jokes.

To reduce the class sizes the fees will go up to international school standards I\'m afraid. \r\n\r\nSchools also don\'t need to hire teachers with a teaching degree.  I was amazed to see so many colleagues with no teaching background whatsoever. Some of them are really good by the way.  On the other hand I see teachers with a bachelor in education or higher with no teaching skills.\r\n\r\nIn government schools you have, on paper,  qualified teachers but in many cases they don\'t have the motivation to make a difference.  Many didn\'t choose education because they love it. \r\n\r\nI agree that many lessons that I have seen are grammar-based (Thai and Filipino). Not saying it is wrong,  but it is not my way.   On the other hand there are a lot of teachers that come through agencies and are not staying longer than a year (sometimes two).  That way you can\'t build consistency. Yes, if management is amazing it is probably possible. But in general, new teachers have to find things that work and don\'t work by themselves again.  \r\n\r\nTo keep teachers longer will be hard.  The demand of good teachers is high and many native English teachers will go to international schools. Even good non-native speakers go to international schools.  What is left are many teachers, but nowhere near enough to fill schools with middle-class children. \r\n\r\nAlso the communication to parents is something I obviously agree on.  I work at a school where 95 % of the parents speak at least basic English and are all on LINE.  Also they are open to talk to you after school.  In my previous school, half of the parents could speak English but many of the kids lived with grandparents.  They didn\'t speak English and were not that engaged.  It was more difficult to reach these (grand) parents. \r\n\r\nIn my opinion the biggest step forwards that Thai education could make is improving the teachers.  I know that the government spends a lot of money to improve teachers. At the moment this money goes to trips around the country with no benefit to the schools whatsoever.  Also colleges get a lot of money for buying equipment, but most of that money goes in people\'s pockets I\'m afraid. \r\n\r\nI hope the government could change this somehow.  Also monitoring schools is based on documentation rather than (classroom) observations.  I think there is enough room for improvement here.

It seems like we have been following the US West Coast trends.\r\n\r\nI prefer this trend myself, as I think it is much easier to look smart wearing business casual clothing (slacks, professional shined shoes and either a button-down short- sleeve or Polo-style shirt) than the old-fashioned semi-formal look of a long-sleeved shirt with a tie. It is also more comfortable. Take a walk down the business district of Bangkok during working hours and see how many men are wearing long sleeved shirts and ties. Not many, although it was the look of 10 to 20 years ago.\r\n\r\nI personally prefer the business casual look, it looks more confident, but still professional enough to set one apart from the common tourist. \r\n\r\nPersonal opinion, while a man can look very professional and smart wearing a full suit and tie it needs to be worn in the right situation, the semi-formal old fashioned long sleeve often white shirt with a tie without a jacket looks pretty dorky on most men, although some can pull it off with style. \r\n\r\nI am not sure what is necessarily expected at government schools, but I suspect most language schools and other places operating outside official government regulations are comfortable with male teachers wearing clothes of a business casual style, which in my view is both more comfortable and looks smarter.\r\n\r\nBut of course, this is just opinion, there does seem to be some national differences with some of the English (British) teachers generally preferring the old-fashioned semi-formal look while many American teachers preferring a less formal look, with Canadian, Aussie, Kiwi and other foreign teachers being split on these opinions. \r\n\r\nJust an observation.',1,'2018-11-11 17:13:29',NULL,'2018-11-11 17:11:19','2018-11-11 17:13:31');
